Especially if there's any pollution in the water, or boats with swim grids on the back, it doesn't look anything like the photos in the ads.
The latest ones we're using are these:
OceanLED - Colours TH HD
they are a lot brighter, bronze and use a much smaller hole, with a synthetic spacer for metal hulls, power hungry though.
What about surface mounting them? If it's just for goofing around at anchor, you could put a magnet on a nice waterproof bright light and stick it over the side and have a useful tool in the meantime.
This sounds like a good idea, as the synthetic spacer would have to be very thick to protect it as salt water will act as the conductor. The only problem is that most of these lights need the water for cooling, so it would not be much use out of the water. They can be useful to attract fish, and I imagine lots of insects. In most waters it is too cloudy to see anything, so useless. Might help for diving to clear a prop. With the exception to attracting fish, these always seemed like the under car lights, and coffee can mufflers on cars, all show and nothing for go.

With contract up after this season, would Joe Girardi want to replace Lou Piniella in Chicago?
Aug 24, 2010, 12:18 PM EDT
Joe Girardi's three-year contract is up at the end of this season and the New York media is already starting to speculate about him potentially replacing Lou Piniella in Chicago.
Girardi was born and raised in Illinois, got drafted by the Cubs in 1986, and spent two different stints calling Wrigley Field home, playing there from 1989 to 1992 and from 2000 to 2002.
Asked yesterday about Girardi's status, general manager Brian Cashman said simply: "We'll deal with contract stuff down the line." And here's what Girardi said:
I'm sure I'm going be asked that a lot now that [Piniella's] stepped down. My focus is here. I have a responsibility to the organization and to the guys in that clubhouse and that's where my focus is. I'm very happy here. You know what? Great working relationship here with everyone involved and I'm very happy here. This organization has been great to me.
I know I have a background there and I'm not going skirt around my background there. I grew up a Cubs fan, I played for the Cubs, but I'm not worried about that now. I'm worried about what we're doing now. We're in a fight.
Andrew Marchand of ESPNNewYork.com notes that the Cubs opening will likely just give Girardi some added leverage when negotiating to remain with the Yankees, which could be similar to when he talked to the Dodgers before agreeing to a three-year, $7.5 million deal to replace Joe Torre.
- John_Michael - Aug 24, 2010 at 12:33 PM
Girardi sounds like he commented after reading a few passages of Catcher In The Rye. That's what I think his comment sounded like.
- Jonny5 - Aug 24, 2010 at 12:37 PM
Yeah, right. He's on a team built to win indefinately, But he'll go to a team that is born to lose indefinately? If the Yankees offer him a job, which they will, He'll remain.
- birdmancometh - Aug 24, 2010 at 1:18 PM
Yeah, but ex-ball players can be awfully confident. Think of how big of a hero he would be if he finally led his home town team to the WS?
- Old Gator - Aug 24, 2010 at 1:28 PM
What I think is, the newspapers are phonies, that's what. You tell them something, it comes out something different every time. I would rather just read comic books, because comic books don't have anything to lie about. They just tell the truth, they're not phonies like the newspapers.
- Old Gator - Aug 24, 2010 at 1:31 PM
With so little hair, it would take Girardi less than a month to become infected by that prion-vectored Indonesian brain disease Die Vloek van der Geitbok, and he'd never be any good for winning anything again. Probably he'd get into a fight with some umpire a week into the season and throw down his hat, and the top of his head would come off and reveal that his skull had been corked. He's a lot better off in New York – and you wouldn't say that about everyone, you know?
- Jonny5 - Aug 24, 2010 at 1:50 PM
I always thought it was Mercury contamination that made everyone in that city "Mad as a Hatter".
- YANKEES1996 - Aug 24, 2010 at 1:59 PM
I hate to say this because I really don't want to see Girardi go, but this is far from a sure thing. Joe has deep roots in Chicago and so does his wife and it has been rumored that his wife is not particularly fond of NY. Several years ago when Joe left his previous NL job it was rumored that the Cubs wanted to hire him then and it did not work out. I would tell Cash to handle this immediaetly after the season to keep the pursuit to a minimum by the Cubs as it does not seem that it is going to be a long list of candidates to begin with, this search is most likely going to come down to Sandberg or Girardi if the Cubs want to win, anyone else is a waste of time. I think Joe should stay in NY as he is doing a good job handling all the crap that comes with the job, but like I said before I don't think it is a sure thing, unfortunately.
- El Bravo - Aug 24, 2010 at 3:46 PM
Cubs = Bad; Yankees = Good; Girardi stays and this post is redonk. Cubs will go for Rhino who's even more so at home in Chicago.
- Omega - Aug 25, 2010 at 2:39 PM
Ultimate Chicago Fanboy Fantasy.
1. Girardi turns down the Yankees offer and signs a 3 year deal with the Cubs.
2. Girardi promotes Sandberg to be his Bench Coach and groom him for his own replacement.
3. Girardi steps down as the Cubs Manager after taking them to and winning the WS in 2014 (and takes over the Rockies for the 2015 season – did I mention I am a Rockos fan too?)
4. Sandberg takes the reins and the Cubs repeat as WS Champs in 2015, thus establishing a Dynasty long denied the long suffering fans of the Cubs.
Like I said it is a fantasy, so items 3 and 4 can just be laughed off , but I would love to see Joe back in a Cubs uniform.

Prints & Cards
I've updated the page on prints and cards of my paintings to reflect the move to using Redbubble - which was prompted by the ability to offer cheaper shipping to people globally, especially in Ireland and Britain where most of my customers live.
The cards are proving especially popular, priced at €2.79 for 100mm x 150mm with bulk discounts of 20% available if you buy 8 or more, or 30% should you buy 16 or more.
Prices for photographic prints start from €11.41 for a small (270mm x 203mm) as of today.

As each painting becomes finished I'll shove them down the end of the list and link them to the completed painting.
If you're expecting a painting and you don't see it on the list, I haven't forgotten to do it I've just forgotten to put it on the list - which I've compiled in my head rather than in the studio where most of the paintings are. I'll add the others when I get to the studio.
I work on a lot of paintings concurrently, for several reasons:
- Because my studio is very cold which slows the rate of drying and I'd rather start a new painting than wait hours for paint to dry.
- Because things get in the way of painting and the only way to regain the momentum necessary to finish those interrupted is to start new ones.
- And because sometimes paintings just get stuck and need to be left and while that's happening what am I going to do - apart from stare at them for months - but paint new ones?
Painting: Ballyshannon, Donegal
30cm x 25 cm (12ins x 10ins), Unstretched canvas
€145 euro
Shipping/Packing €11 globally
A painting of Ballyshannon in Donegal. This is a view I got from the bicycle as I crossed the River Erne. The weather was, em, changeable.
Ballyshannon is painted on unstretched canvas, 30cm x 20cm (12in x 10in). Unstretched canvas is where the canvas isn't stapled to wooden stretchers but is flat and floppy like a sheet of paper. In other words it will require framing.
If you''d like to buy this painting contact me to pay by personal cheque/check, account transfer, or that stuff called cash. If you wish to pay by credit card I can send you a paypal link where you can use your credit card.
Shipping, P&P
With shipping included the price of €156 is what you pay in total to purchase this painting and have it shipped to your door anywhere in the world.
Work on current commissions including #paintingtour ones (and paintings for hosts), is continuing. Please note that due to current painting commitments any new commissions can not be completed for 6 months (which at the time of posting is mid September).
Paintings - Donegal Coast
This series of 5 small paintings of the Donegal coast are being sold as one piece. [update: SOLD]
The paintings depict the north Donegal coast from Bloody Foreland mountain to Horn Head, with the islands of Inishbofin, Inishbeg, and Inishdooey off Magheraroarty, and out beyond on the horizon the fabulous presence of the island of Tory.
click to enlarge
Donegal Coast 1 - In that brief spell when I lived in Donegal, the place I called home was 5km from the sea, a perfect distance for walks and cycling trips that showed off the coast. This 1st in this series of paintings features Tory Island, so dominant despite its distance from the mainland.
click to enlarge
Donegal Coast 2 - The islands of Inishbofin, Inisdooey and Inishbeg in north Donegal as seen from above Falcarragh. I loved watching them change in the light.
click to enlarge
Donegal Coast 3 - Looking towards Gortahork and Bloody Foreland from beyond Falcarragh. The colours of those hills, especially in the evenings, I found were like a slide show and the coastline itself changed shape with the light.
click to enlarge
Donegal Coast 4 - Another view of the islands of Inishbofin, Inisdooey and Inishbeg in north Donegal by Falcarragh, this time seen from a lower elevation from where I used to ride my bike. Such was the light and the sea that at times any one particular island could seem like it was in a different landscape from the other two.
click to enlarge
Donegal Coast 5 - Horn Head in north Donegal as seen from Derryreel. Beside a beautiful strand - that you can't see in this painting - Horn Head is a fantastic rugged monster battling for attention on a coastline riddled with features I personally could paint for many years.
click to enlarge
Each painting is 30cm x 10cm (12ins x 4ins) on gallery-wrapped canvas - the 1.5cm sides of the painting are painted a solid colour complementing the blues and browns in the painting
[Update: These paintings are now SOLD]
The price for the 5 paintings together is €250. (Shipping & Handling is €15 or they can be collected from my studio in west Dublin). I won't be selling them individually or breaking them up into any other combination.

I Painted a Cow
In 2001 I lived in Missouri and I painted a cow. Before London, before Dublin, Kansas City was one of the very first cities of the more than 75 chosen to host CowParade.
I submitted proposals for 2 cows, and one was chosen - "The Cow of Kells", featuring designs and concepts from the most famous of illuminated manuscripts.
As well as painting elements found in the Book of Kells onto the cow, I tried to paint the cow overall in the style of how animals are represented in the book.
The right legs were my favourite.
Shawnee Mission Park is about 15 miles from downtown Kansas City, Missouri - over in the state of Kansas.
I painted all four evangelists on the cow, because they hang out in the book a lot. Here's Mark:
I'll confess to spending a couple of lunchtimes in the vicinity of my cow.
Never once did I hear how the cow was painted referred to as being Irish.
Most commonly I heard people call my cow 'Native American', 'Egyptian', and 'Aztec'.
Painting a cow's bum gold with three intertwined bearded men seemed like a no-brainer.
I always wished I'd taken a photo of the space where the cow had been once the exhibition was over.
I painted a large rectangular panel on either side of the cow, with one of the panels blank. Rushing to make the deadline I ran out of time before varnishing so didn't get to write on the panel in lovely Celtic lettering, "This panel left intentionally blank". Sleep deprived and spaced out on fumes I then slept for most of the next 48 hours.
The Cow of Kells was one of the cows that sold in the auction for charity that followed the public exhibition. See my cow on the official website
My other design, the one not chosen, was my preferred proposal - it was an abstract design featuring squares and called "Continental Cowscape". Ultimately I used the name for a painting, and the design for a birthday card for my son.
Painting: Cobh, Cork
One of last year's Painting Tour funding commissions was of Cobh - and when that painting is sent to America in a couple of days I'll share it online with you. Here though, is another painting of Cobh, from a different viewpoint (a seagull's) and unlike the one done on the tour this one was painted in the studio albeit drawing on the memories of that day's painting in Cobh together with dozens of photographs.
Cobh is painted on canvas, 40cm x 30cm (16in x 12in);
As of June 2012 if you'd like to commission a painting of this size it will cost you €175 or you could have a larger painting of 50cm x 40cm (20in x 16in) for €240. Ideally it would be of somewhere I have been (or can get to without costing too much), and perhaps with a selection of photos. Please note that due to current commissions I'd be unlikely be able to complete any new commissions for at least 2 months.
Work on other current commissions including #paintingtour ones (and paintings for hosts), is making good progress. You can see all the paintings from Painting Tour here
Painting: Slieve League
A new painting, of Slieve League in County Donegal for Phyllis & Mike for their amazing hosting of me in Donegal town during last year's Painting Tour.
I've been lucky and seen a lot of amazing places around the world, but no physical feature on the planet has so filled me with awe as the sight of Sliabh League.
Slieve League is painted on canvas, 50cm x 40cm (20in x 16in), double the size of most of the other canvases for #paintingtour hosting. The conversations, warmth, and food that greeted me at Phyllis & Mike's B&B, together with the most staggering tour - which included Slieve League - are among memories I will treasure for a long time.
Work on other #paintingtour paintings, both commissions and paintings for hosts, is making good progress. You can see all the paintings from Painting Tour here
Stay at the Lismolin B&B in Donegal Town
Painting: Slemish
A new painting, of Slemish Mountain in County Antrim for Grannymar for her wondrous hosting of me on last year's Painting Tour.
[ Buy this painting as a print or a card ]
Slemish is painted on canvas, 50cm x 40cm (20in x 16in), which the eagle-eyed among you will notice is double the size of the other canvases for #paintingtour hosting. The three days of driving that Grannymar did for me last autumn were epic, heroic, and a total joy.

There are also some abstract paintings which I don't like to reduce so that I can hold onto them longer.
You could help me by telling others about them - blogging, tweeting, status updating etc. Thanks.
If you prefer not to use PayPal you can pay me direct - by cash or transfer or cheque/check. I actually prefer that as it saves me paying fees to PP, but work away on the PayPal links if that suits you best.
You can also save on shipping charges by collecting paintings from me at my studio in Lucan.
NOTE: Please let me know if you need your painting for Christmas - I'll do what I can to get it in the post before the relevant date. If you missed the final posting date and can't get out to my studio in Lucan, I can possibly meet you in town right up to Christmas Eve - but as I will be painting every day there are limitations (give me a shout)

14 Things They Don't Tell You About Making Babies
By MaternalDamnation on August 08, 2013
If you got pregnant on your honeymoon or totally by accident, this post is not for you.
Also, I hate you.
Okay. Not really.
But kind of.
If you've never thought of having kids, this might be for you. If you are thinking about it, but you aren't sure, this might be for you. If you are actually going through the process, this might be for you.
If you're the Duggars, this is in no way, at all, ever, for you. Ever.
The acts required to make babies in a heterosexual relationship are supposed to be fun. They are awesome. They are supremely enjoyable. If you are specifically doing the sex to make-a the babies, some of the recreation gets sucked out of it.
What you're told in health class is that this shit is easy and happens to everyone all of the time. To quote Mean Girls, "If you have sex, you will get pregnant and die. Here, take some rubbers."
And while I guess it can work like that, that's not been my experience. It has also not been the experience of a lot of the people I know.
Making babies is hard work, yo. They don't tell you that.
The following is the list of other things that certainly never occurred to me when we set out on this journey. I thought it was "insert sperm, receive baby," all instantaneous like.
It isn't. It can be, but it often isn't.
Obviously, these are my observations of things that I didn't know would happen. Maybe these only apply to me, but I like to believe that I am a representative of the entire world, and for that, I should be revered.
You know, or some shit.
1- If you want to have a kid, you will spontaneously live your life by the calendar. You will pay attention to dates and number of days in your cycle and your fertile days and a bunch of other stuff that doesn't come up in health class. You'll know when they best days to get frisky are and when you're actually just doing it to have fun. If you want your sex life to seem at all unplanned, you're going to have to plan ahead to know what the best days to not plan your sex life are. It makes absolutely no sense unless you have been there, but I promise you that's how it works.
Credit: jimwinstead.
2- That calendar that you now live by? It changes all the time. It can be off by a day or a week. You won't get warning that things are changing. They just will. Can you imagine if the regular calendar changed like that? One week has 10 days and another had 4 and another has 14 and just, fuck. You don't know how many days you work or how long the weekend is and does this change the day that Iron Man comes out because now I'm just confused? That's your life. You THINK your most fertile day is Tuesday but it actually turns out to be Friday. Why? 'Cause the universe said so and SCIENCE.
3- You have to deal with gooey substances even before you have a booger eater creating them. Just trust me. It's gross in a way that you totally get used to.
4- You will be disappointed. A ton. It blows. You will be disappointed because the night you should have sex, you're too tired or you had a cold. You will be disappointed because it takes longer to be successful than you want. You will be disappointed because your boobs hurt but they don't hurt because you're incubating a human. They hurt because your body is being a mother fucker. Your mind and body will play tricks on you because you want everything to mean that your pee stick will be positive.
5- You will feel like a crazy person. You might even become a crazy person if you didn't start out that way.
6- You will be scared to eat and drink if you have the tendency to eat and drink as terribly as I do. I like soda. And cake. And I think vegetables are gross. You'll wonder if you're having too much sugar for a fetus who might not even exist yet. You'll wonder if you're creating a hyperactive nutter of a nonexistent child based on your caffeine intake.
7- You will cry at movies with adorable kids. You'll swear it's because you're hormonal and knocked up. It could just be that kids are cute (sometimes).

2 summary execution victims found in QC
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—The bodies of two suspected victims of summary execution were recovered in Quezon City before dawn Thursday, police said.
Senior Police Officer 1 Joselito Gagasa said the bodies of the still unidentified male victims were found at the University of the Philippines (UP) Arboretum Forestry in Barangay (village) UP Campus, Quezon City around 5 a.m.
Gagasa said the first victim stood 5'3" tall and was found with ligature marks and several stab wounds in his body, while the other stood 5'1" tall and also had stab wounds in the chest and in the back.
Both were about 45 to 50 years old, the duty desk officer said.
He said authorities have yet to identify the motive behind the killing, as well as the names of the victims. Jamie Marie Elona

Oglethorpe Speedway Park general manager/promoter Ted Austad was fired Thursday, bringing to an end his six-year tenure at the half-mile dirt track in Pooler.
OSP today begins its 21st year as part of the NASCAR Dodge Weekly Series with its season opener at 8 p.m.
Austad, 40, was informed of OSP owner Andy Stone's decision Thursday morning.
"The Stones want to go in a different direction," Austad said from his home in Pooler shortly before 10 p.m. Thursday. "I don't have any idea what I'm going to do. I was geared up for a full season. It took me by surprise. When I came here, I came here to stay."
The Stone family, which purchased the 55-year-old track in 1977, hired Austad in April of 2000 to operate the facility.
Stone said OSP will make an announcement today regarding Austad's firing.
"Mr. Austad is not with the speedway now," Stone said.
Last season, 104,097 people attended races, about 9.4 percent fewer than the 114,813 fans who visited in 2004.
The track took a financial hit last year when excessive rain forced the cancellation of eight of its 32 races - a 25 percent loss in revenue.
Austad, a native of Glencoe, Minn., has been passionate about racing since his first trip to his hometown track, Raceway Park, as a child. His career has taken him to various tracks throughout the country, including Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C.
Austad was one of three full-time employees at OSP. About 40 are employed part time.
"I enjoyed the opportunity to work for the Stones," Austad said. "I felt like we made some good progress over the last six years, and I just appreciate the opportunity to work with them and operate the speedway.
"The speedway is a great speedway. It's a great property. There are a lot of talented people working there, and I'm glad I had the opportunity to be a part of it."

Food Stamp Fraud More Than Doubles Under Obama
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On April 3, 2013 @ 9:50 am In The Point | 15 Comments
Three-quarters of a billion here [2] and three-quarters of a billion there [3] and pretty soon you're talking about some real money, son. That $750 million is out of a total of $75 billion which tells you how huge food stamps have gotten under the Great Obama Depression.
In 2012, a U.S. Department of Agriculture official said that food stamp fraud totals $750 million each year – a number that more than doubles the cost of trafficking reported in a 2006- 2008 USDA study.
CNSNews.com reached out to the USDA to verify this number. A spokesperson stated via email, "In 2011, program costs totaled $75.7 billion. Using the most recent data on trafficking available, USDA estimated that trafficking would be 1 percent of $75 billion, or approximately $750 million."
This number is $420 million more per year than a report released in March of 2011 that wrote on fraud within the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) from 2006-2008.
"Trafficking diverted an estimated $330 million annually from SNAP benefits – or about one cent of each SNAP dollar – between 2006 and 2008. About 8.2 percent of all stores trafficked," states the Extent of Trafficking in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (2006-2008).
That's an increase from $330 million annually in 2008 to $750 million in 2011. The "USDA doesn't tolerate fraud which is why we are aggressively strengthening our anti-fraud policies and tactics," said the USDA, noting the rate of fraud is at 1 percent of total expenditures.
Total expenditures have ballooned and so has fraud. But while food stamp fraud is approaching the big 1 Billion, any GOP attempt to rein it in, even through minimal efforts such as banning the use of EBT cards at liquor stores, casinos and strip clubs is met with furious attacks on the Republicans taking things away from the poor.
There's an entire economy built on food stamps. Supermarkets run on it and so do bodegas and seamier places. And the Dems are interlinked with it.

It is typical media coverage when any sporting event involves one of New York's finest. Of course if the Yankees are getting their hind ends handed to them it must be because they are "upset" or some other illogical reason. It couldn't be that the Detroit Tigers have the absolute Best Starting Rotation in Major League Baseball. It also couldn't be because they have the Best Starting Pitcher in baseball, Justin Verlander and reigning MVP and Cy Young award winner. Possibly it is because the Tigers have Miguel Cabrera the First Triple Crown Winner in the last FORTY FIVE years, and the best hitter in baseball. Or that they have Prince Fielder hitting behind Cabrera in the Cleanup spot, who also had 30 home runs and over 100 RBIs. No it must be because the Yankees don't feel inspired??? On a side Note, the Tigers have to dump Benoit and ValVerde. Their poor performances ruin great games thrown by their starters, ruin the game for the fans, and cause discord on the team! Yeah, and it is time for Leyland to Retire!
Originally written on Fox Sports Detroit | Last updated 11/19/14
As most of the baseball world speculates why the New York Yankees are failing on a stage where they're accustomed to succeeding, perhaps it's time for the experts take a look at what the Detroit Tigers are doing right. The Tigers lead the American League Championship Series two games to none after Sunday's 3-0 Game 2 victory because their starting pitching has been better. It was true in the Tigers' AL Division Series victory over the Oakland A's, and it remains true now. The numbers don't lie. In seven posteseason games, Tigers starters Justin Verlander, Doug Fister, Anibal Sanchez and Max Scherzer have a combined 0.94 ERA. They have allowed just five earned runs in 48 innings, and haven't given up an earned run in the last 28 23 innings dating back to Game 3 of the ALDS in Oakland. Still, it hasn't been an easy playoffs for the Tigers because their offense hasn't been lighting up opposing pitchers. The usual M.O. has been to watch the pitchers duel, score late and then hold o...

Austin lives a half a block away from me, and I ran into him at one of the 20 or so Seattle Based Corporate Coffee Houses (rhymes with Starfucks) that lie within a 5 block radius of our street. We chatted about the last shoot he did with us when he got a hand job. He *********ly admitted that was one of the hottest experiences he as ever had. That got my wheels spinning, I had to strike while the iron was hot. I put a plan together that involved Austin and Scott. Austin wanted to meet Scott first, so Scott and I met Austin at his favorite East Village dive bar. The three of us played pool and drank some ****s- a very "hetero" thing to do, it made Austin feel comfortable on his own turf. While sipping our libations we discussed the possibility of the movie that needed to be made, all the while whispering about it, lest one of the hairy biker dudes that were all around us overheard.

The CVA is an average of two radial distribution functions, which each take as input the distance between the particles, |r₂ −r₁|, and the average value of the radial distribution function at contact, gσ(r) at the locations of each of the particles. In a recently published paper, an accurate function for gσ(r) was developed, and it is made use of here. We then make a separable approximation to the radial distribution function, gS(r), which we use to construct the separable contact value approximation (CVA-S) to the pair distribution function. We compare the CVA and CVA-S to Monte Carlo simulations that we have developed and run as well as to two prior approximations to the pair distribution function. This comparison is done in three main cases: When one particle is near a hard wall; when there is an external particle the size of a sphere of the fluid; and for various integrals that illustrate typical use-cases of the pair distribution function. We show reasonable quantitative agreement between the CVA-S and simulation data, similar to that of the prior approximations. However, due to its separable nature, the CVA-S can be efficiently used in density functional theory, which is not the case of the prior approximations. 2014 2014-10-03T00:00:00Z Measurement and Modeling of Zinc Sulfide Thin Films using Ellipsometry and Reflection Spectroscopy: A Comparison of Optical Characterization Techniques Kratzer, Aaron http://hdl.handle.net/1957/53769 2014-11-12T14:50:54Z 2014-06-11T00:00:00Z Measurement and Modeling of Zinc Sulfide Thin Films using Ellipsometry and Reflection Spectroscopy: A Comparison of Optical Characterization Techniques Kratzer, Aaron Zinc sulfide thin films on silicon wafers were analyzed for layer thickness, refractive index, and absorption using reflection spectroscopy (RS), spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), and modeling programs. RS and refractive index values from literature were used to model film thickness based on reflection and the SCOUT modeling program was used to analyze the reflectance data and generate model RS data. SE was used to measure film thickness and complex index of refraction and a VASE32 program was used to model the layers of the thin film and generate model SE data. Goals include comparing SE and RS as possible non-destructive analysis tools and developing the most efficient SCOUT interface for analyzing available optical data. Both RS and SE data analysis have the ability to measure the thickness d and complex refractive index n and κ of ZnS given the complex refractive index of the silicon wafer. The SCOUT optical modeling software generates a graphical user interface and can analyze RS data and can be configured to analyze SE data as well. 2014 2014-06-11T00:00:00Z Growth and characterization of the p-type semiconductors SnS and BiCuOSe Francis, Jason http://hdl.handle.net/1957/39519 2013-06-18T16:39:25Z 2013-05-30T00:00:00Z Growth and characterization of the p-type semiconductors SnS and BiCuOSe Francis, Jason BiCuOSe and SnS are layered, moderate band gap (ε[subscript G] ≈ 1 eV) semiconductors that exhibit intrinsic p type conductivity. Doping of BiCuOSe with Ca results in a slight expansion of the lattice and an increase of the hole concentration from 10¹⁸ cm⁻³ to greater than 10²⁰ cm⁻³. The large carrier density in undoped films is the result of copper vacancies. Mobility is unaffected by doping, remaining constant at 1.5 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹ in both undoped and doped films, because the Bi-O layers serve as the source of carriers, while transport occurs within the Cu-Se layers. Bi possesses a 6s² lone pair that was expected to hybridize with the oxygen p states at the top of the valence band, resulting in high hole mobility as compared to similar materials such as LaCuOSe, which lack this lone pair. However, both LaCuOSe and BiCuOSe have similar hole mobility. X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy, combined with density functional theory calculations, reveal that the Bi 6s states contribute deep within the valence band, forming bonding and anti-bonding states with O 2p at 11 eV and 3 eV below the valence band maximum, respectively. Hence, the Bi lone pair does not contribute at the top of the valence band and does not enhance the hole mobility. The Bi 6p states contribute at the bottom of the conduction band, resulting in a smaller band gap for BiCuOSe than LaCuOSe (1 eV vs. 3 eV). SnS is a potential photovoltaic absorber composed of weakly coupled layers stacked along the long axis. This weak coupling results in the formation of strongly oriented films on amorphous substrates. The optical band gap is 1.2 eV, in agreement with GW calculations. Absorption reaches 10⁵ cm⁻¹ within 0.5 eV of the band gap. The p type conduction arises from energetically favorable tin vacancies. Variation of growth conditions yields carrier densities of 10¹⁴ - 10¹⁶ cm⁻³ and hole mobility of 7 - 15 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹. SnS was alloyed with rocksalt CaS, which was predicted to form a rocksalt structure when the calcium content is increased past 18%. Films of Sn[subscript 1-x]Ca[subscript x]S with x from 0.4 to 0.9 adopt the rocksalt structure with a band gap of 1.1-1.3 eV, with absorption greater than 10⁵ cm⁻¹ within about 0.7 eV of the band gap. The lattice contracts as the calcium content of the films is increased, reaching 5.7 Å when x = 0.93. Films are highly insulating, but Seebeck measurements do indicate p type conduction.

The spec for your motherboard can be found by Googling Motherboard Specifications, MS-7184 (AmethystM) and shows that it is a micro ATX that uses DDR memory and a socket 939 processor. As standard it does not come with a separate graphics card although it has a 16x PCIe slot. I tried to give the link but the PCA spam filter kicked in and won't let me post it but you will find it on the HP website.
The board will support AMD Athlon 64 X2 (up to 4800+) and Sempron (up to 3200+) processors so you could upgrade your processor speed and you could upgrade your graphics by using a separate PCIe card.
That said (and considering you have DDR memory not DDR2 or 3) you will probably find it cheaper to get a motherboard bundled with a more modern processor, better onboard graphics and DDR3 memory). Take a look at motherboard bundles from Novatech but make sure before you buy that the motherboard is micro ATX and will fit your case.
What OS version are you using because that will make a difference if you retain your existing hard drive and want to swap everything over?

Q: Would accupuncture cure edema ? Ive got it on a delicate part of the body due to an operation which I had 4 months ago and after two months edema developed. Ive tried to alleviate it by wearing tight underwear and massaging it down with vaselinge. It goes away in the afternoon and evening but it appears again in the morning. Ive tried accupuncture for my eczema and it clears it up.A: The fact that you have had acupuncture for eczema and it has worked for what can be a very intractable condition is a very good sign, and means that if it could work, it probably would.
The concern that we have, though, is what may be causing post-operative swelling. In the first instance we would have to say that you should see your GP and then try to get a referral back to the surgeon who performed the procedure on you. 'Delicate' narrows the range of procedures, but not enough for us to be able to offer specific comment. After an operation any swelling should be investigated. The fact that it goes down on massage is probably a sign that it is not a major problem, but without further detail we can't really say more.
As a general comment, where there are local weaknesses caused by operations, sometimes by the scarring and scar tissue caused by incision, acupuncture treatment applied locally can have a significant effect. This may be even more the case if there is an underlying systemic weakness which prevents healing from taking place as efficiently as one might hope. The first port of call, though, is your GP.
Q: I would like to find an acupuncturist for stopping smoking. I have had the procedure done twice . Once in 1983 and 1992, both successful. One pin in the ear for two weeks, can touch it when needing a cigarette and the need goes away. Please can you tell me if there are any practitioners who use that technique? A: The technique for stopping smoking by using needles in the ear is obviously not a traditional one in the strict sense. However, the use of auricular acupuncture for helping to deal with addictions of all sorts has become very popular, and as you have found before, it can work well. As far as BAcC members are concerned, we do not keep a record of those who have added this technique to their repertoire. The only thing we can advise is that you might use our practitioner search function on the BAcC home page and ask a BAcC practitioner who works locally to you for their advice, i.e. whether they do this particular treatment or whether they know someone they trust locally who does. Our members are usually a very helpful resource in terms of finding out who is good at what in a locality. Failing that, there is a group of practitioners who practise limited forms of acupuncture, called microsystems acupuncture, who are grouped together in the Microsystems Acupuncture Regulatory Working Group. It is highly likely that one of these may be doing exactly what you need. They can be located at http://www.macrwg.org/. Failing that you have the two big detox assocations, SMART-UK and NADA-UK whose websites are easy to find and whose members use very limited techniques such as the five-point protocol to good effect. Whoever you manage to find, it is important to reassure yourself that they are properly regulated and insured. As a coda, you may also do well to investigate what additional support is now available through your local NHS outlets. The materials and secondary support have become a great deal more sophisticated in recent years as the Government has ploughed money into helping people to break the addiction to cigarettes.
Q I have been suffering with muscle tension for several years, which has been made worse by injury. I damaged my glutes about 10 years ago and have since had a few injuries to my sacral area and suffer weakness in this area. I have been told I have muscle imbalances which ultimately affect my whole body. I am currently seeing one in a long line of physios as well as having regular massage. However, it all seems to be having little effect these days and my day to day existence seems to revolve around damage limitation. Do you think acupuncture would be of any use to me?
A: It certainly couldn't do any harm to try traditional acupuncture. We choose out words carefully, though; when we say traditional acupuncture we mean acupuncture based on an understanding of the principles of Chinese medicine. There is a great deal of acupuncture being offered these days by people whose focus is primarily musculo-skeletal, such as physios, osteopaths and chiropractors, and while we have no doubt that they often do very good treatment as an adjunct to their primary discipline, there are times when this kind of 'point and shoot' approach will not be enough. The problem from our perspective, of course, is that when this doesn't work people say 'acupuncture didn't work', to which we respond 'only a very reduced form of it.' Chinese medicine looks at the body as a dynamic structure of energy, called 'qi' in Chinese thought, whose flow, rhythms and balances are integral to good health and well-being as well as to good recovery from the injuries which everyone experiences from time to time. In cases like yours this means two things. First, it is possible that there has been disruption to the flow of energy locally which, by the use of both local and distal treatment, a practitioner might be able to correct. If there is a local weakness or blockage, most treatments are only going to be partially successful in restoring function. Second, there are often cases where an injury manifests as an acute problem on top of a more chronic weakness which has not generated any symptoms as yet, and also may manifest against a backdrop where the entire body is running below par. The problem with acute then chronic problems is that they prevent the system as a whole from recovering and lock the problem in for a long time. Acupuncture treatment may be able to address both of these issues, and a visit to a BAcC member local to you for a brief face to face assessment may be able to establish very quickly whether the practitioner thought that there was something they could do to help. As well as acupuncture treatment, you may also find that some of the gentler forms of osteopathy, especially cranial osteopathy, may be of benefit. The sacral area is one where damage cam impact on the whole system in some quite profound ways, and if the physical structure has been compromised, then no amount of work on the surrounding musculature is going to solve the problem. However, we think that acupuncture treatment is worth trying first, and may well help you to break free of the cycle of damage limitation in which you appear to become trapped. We know how depressing this can become after a while, and how people can begin to lose hope in the fact that things will ever change. We have seen enough cases of long-term chronic cases resolving, if not wholly, at least enough to make a radical change, to believe that acupuncture treatment would be well worth trying.
Q: Have you ever heard of accupuncture being used for core back pain with needles placed down both sides of middle of spine (in muscles). I have had acupressure before for the same problen but pressure points were used in different areas B phoenix.
A: Indeed we have! There are a number of channels on the back on which the points lie, as can be seen in this diagram,
and a practititioner may very well use some of these in the treatment of back pain. As well as the traditional points, there is also a line of points closer to the spine itself called the Huatojiaji points which were commonly used in what was called 'barefoot doctor' treatment. These are nearly always supplemented with distal points on the arms and legs, and as you know from your experience of acupressure, these are often used as a front line treatment.
A great deal depends on how deep the problems are and how intense the discomfort in the affected area. There are occasions when treating the area directly can be too much for the patient, and a more indirect approach is more advisable.
Q: My wife had surgery for bowel cancer 3 years ago. Since then she has had a great deal of trouble managing her bowel movements and has had daily panic rushes to the little room! She has found this very difficult and distressing. Can acupuncture help and if so is there somebody with expertise in the area of bowel cancer treatment and its after effects that could help her? We live in Pulborough, West Sussex about 12 miles north of Worthing/south of Horsham.
A: It is extremely difficult to generalise about the treatment of bowel frequency and urgency after surgery for bowel cancer. So much depends on the amount of tissue removed and exactly where from, and it is not uncommon for it to take a long time to restore normal function. There is evidence for the treatment of urgency, frequency and discomfort within the conglomeration of symptoms under the heading of irritable bowel syndrome http://www.acupuncture.org.uk/a-to-z-of-conditions/a-to-z-of-conditions/irritable-bowel-syndrome-ibs.html but this is not quite the same as surgical resection. There are two possible ways in which acupuncture treatment may be of benefit. Acupuncture is increasingly used to aid normal recovery processes in a great many areas, and although the research of these cases is still broadly in its infancy, there is no doubt in our minds from the anecdotal evidence we have that people do tend to recover more quickly and 'better' from surgery. This expert has on many occasions treated patients pre- and post- cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal) to very good effect. This is not a surprise, however; although a great deal of modern focus is on treating named conditions traditional chinese medicine was primarily concerned with restoring balance and homeostasis. Whe you consider the massive disruption to the whole system caused by surgery, anything aimed at helping to restore natural order is probably going to be of benefit. The other possibility is that there has been disruption to specific parts of the system in such a way as to cause frequency and urgency. From a Chinese medicine perspective knowing the cause of a problem is sometimes less important than recognising how it manifests. If the pattern of signs and symptoms which your wife has approximates to one of the recognised syndromes, then there may well be some help which a practitioner could offer. The only and best way to see if this is the case is to seek an informal face to face assessment from a BAcC member local to you. Most will offer you a little time without charge to assess better than we can here whether treatment may be of benefit. As far as expert practitioners are concerned, we take the view that all of our members are properly trained to be able to offer good Chinese medicine to any patient they see. There may be some value in seeking out someone with a few more years of experience in dealing with patients with serious conditions, but that will not change the basic principles of diagnosis and treatment which we all offer. There are a number of extremely well-qualified and experienced practitioners in your area, including two in Pulborough itself, and we are sure that by using our search function you will be able to locate someone who may be able to help your wife.
