The Anaheim Ducks and Edmonton Oilers match up four times this coming season, kicking off with a Wednesday, December 10 game at Honda Center. After two visits to Rexall Place in Edmonton the two teams wrap up their season series when the Oilers visit Honda Center on Wednesday, April 1. It's been a tough decade for the Oilers, one of the more storied non Original 6 franchises. The club has routinely finished at the bottom of the NHL standings, even though they've drafted a large number of talented young players as a result. Last year the Ducks won three of the four matchups between the two teams, outscoring Edmonton 16-14 in the process. The Oilers finished 7 th in the Pacific Division with just 67 points a year ago. The Oilers finished with the league's third worst record.
Due to their poor finishes over the past 8 years the Oilers have had a top ten pick in the NHL draft seven of the past eight seasons. The Oilers traded for forward Teddy Purcell from the Tampa Bay Lightning, who'll join a group of talented forwards. Taylor Hall was the Oilers leading scorer a year ago with 80 points. Jordan Eberle and David Perron provide additional goal-scoring capability, with Perron registering 28 goals in 2013-2014. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is the player to watch for Edmonton. The former top overall pick could have a breakout year. He finished with 56 points a year ago and should top that number this season. Nail Yakupov is yet another high draft pick who the Oilers will need more production out of. Yakupov had an extremely poor second season and will look to improve his form.

Dodgers fans react to Ramirez's suspension
LOS ANGELES Juan and Jose Arreola bought tickets for Mannywood on Thursday, not knowing the main attraction wouldn't be part of the show.
After choosing seats for Thursday's game against the Washington Nationals in a special section named for Manny Ramirez, the brothers were stunned to learn that the slugger was suspended 50 games for violating Major League Baseball's drug policy.
The suspension started immediately – Ramirez said he won't appeal – and he's expected to return to the lineup July 3.
"Wow," said Juan Arreola, 22, as he and his brother surveyed the field at Dodger Stadium, tickets in hand. "The team has been perfect so far. I hope they can keep it up without Manny."
Manny-mania swept across Southern California after the Dodgers acquired the power hitter from Boston at the 2008 trading deadline in July. Ramirez made an immediate impact, scorching opponent pitching and catapulting the team into the playoffs.
This season, he was major muscle in a deep and talented lineup that on Wednesday set a modern major league record for a home winning streak to start a season with their 13th straight victory.
Ramirez re-energized a fan base yearning for a return to the World Series, a drought that has lasted more than 20 years. Fans donned wigs modeled after his signature black dreadlocks, scooped up his No. 99 jersey, and mimicked his home run swing. When it came to star sports power in Los Angeles, Ramirez ranked only behind Lakers guard Kobe Bryant.
"He's been so good for the team," said Antonieta Beltran, 60, of Los Angeles, who sat in the top deck at Dodger Stadium mapping out what games she wants to attend this season with her husband. "It's so sad because he's doing so well."
Some fans said they were disappointed but not devastated about the news because the Dodgers hold the top spot in the division standings and most were confident the Dodgers would still be there when Ramirez returns.
"This year all the team has played really well," said Hugo Barraca, 27, of Los Angeles. "I'd say our chances right now to go to the World Series are 50-50."
Ramirez wore out his welcome in Boston, but Los Angeles accepted him with open arms. In Boston, he was criticized for his lack of hustle and for having mental lapses that were referred to as "Manny Being Manny."
But there was no hustle problem in Los Angeles and the definition of "Manny Being Manny" was rewritten. He became a crowd favorite and added energy to a previously drab clubhouse.
The laid-back lifestyle on the West Coast seemed to suit Ramirez just fine. After playing a few games for the Dodgers last season, Ramirez said, "It feels like I'm on vacation."
Fans worried in the offseason that Ramirez might not come back for another season but he ended up signing a $45 million, two-year contract in early March.
"He's been a big help for us," Juan Arreola said. "That's what the Dodgers needed, a home-run hitter with some attitude."

Mohammad-Reza Nematzadeh.
From August 1997 until early 2006, Nematzadeh used to be deputy petroleum minister and president of National Petrochemical Co. (NPC). He was moved to head NIORDC because the refining sector and the country's fuel distribution system were grossly inefficient and lacked the capacity to meet Iran's rapidly rising demand for fuels, particularly gasoline. He was authorised to spend heavily on a programme to expand the refining sector at top speed (see down15IranRefApr9-07).
Dr. Nematzadeh had been prominent in all governments since the 1989-97 presidency of Rafsanjani. He and then Petroleum Minister Zanganeh have had a long friendship, with Nematzadeh having headed the state's Power and Transmission Company Tavanir in the late 1980s - Tavanir being under the energy ministry. Until October 2008, he was also a member of the Supreme Economic Council (SEC), the top decision maker for the country's major projects.
An exceptionally efficient administrator and an excellent engineer, Nematzadeh is a hard worker. After having expanded the petrochemicals sector at top speed (see his NPC background in down15IranPetchmApr11-05), in 2006-08 he presided over an equally rapid growth of the refining and fuel distribution systems.
Dr. Nematzadeh is an Azeri. He was born in Tabriz (eastern Azerbaijan province) in 1945. He got a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Tabriz University, a master's degree in industrial management from Tehran University and a PhD from the University of California at Berkeley. He left theological studies in 1977 and joined the Khomeini movement. After the revolution he became in charge of an inspection committee at the Labour and Social Affairs Ministry; director of the Iran National Co.; labour minister after the fall of Mehdi Bazargan's government in late 1979; industry and mines minister from September 1980 to August 1981; CEO of Tavanir from February to August 1989; and industry minister from August 1989 to late 1995. In the latter position, he was in charge of both light and heavy industries which were merged in September 1994. He then began a drive to privatise both light and heavy industries that were under his ministry.
Aminollah Eskandari, the director for refining affairs at NIORDC, in September 2008 said the company was spending $22 bn on plans to construct seven refineries and add more than 1.5m b/d to its capacity. He said all seven refineries would be commissioned by 2012. He expected to increase capacity to 3.3m b/d from 1.566m b/d, making Iran the second largest refiner in the Middle East after Saudi Arabia.
Eskandari said: "Given the economic growth of big consumers such as India and China, a proper field has been provided for the country to make huge investments in oil refining". He said: "Crude [oil] refining patterns in the country follow old versions, causing a rise in kiln oil output by 29%, while the world's standards are at a 10% level". On Aug. 4, 2008, the then CEO of NIORDC Nematzadeh said the ground was being prepared for ceding the Tabriz, Bandar Abbas and Lavan refineries to the private sector and related documents were to be delivered to the Iranian Privatisation Organisation (IPO). Then addressing the First Seminar on Oil Industry Legal System and Contracts, Nematzadeh said the stage was being set for a gradual privatisation of NIORDC. He stressed that much had to be done to improve NIORDC's performance and profitability before its privatisation process was to begin.
On Sept. 18, Eskandari said Iran will surpass Saudi Arabia's capacity once the new NIORDC plan had been implemented. On April 22, 2009, he said Iran will resume diesel exports before end-June as increased gas supplies had cut consumption of the liquid fuel in power plants. He said a new scheme to monitor purchases by motorists would cut deeper into domestic consumption. He said NIORDC was considering monthly exports of up to 450,000 barrels through the third quarter, adding: "We can export at least two cargoes a month, until just before the winter season".
Eskandari said Iran's diesel demand has fallen by around two million litres, or about 48,000 b/d, since March. The new smart card scheme will help cap the amount of diesel motorists buy at the pump and reduce smuggling, he said. Each purchase will be monitored on the card. He added: "This will mean they can only pump their requirements at the petrol station and this also helps to reduce smuggling". About 50-55% of Iran's diesel consumption comes from the transportation sector. He said in the first three months of 2009, Iran imported as much as 5m barrels of diesel, or around 55,000 b/d.
'Adel-Nejad Salim: Deputy Petroleum Minister and Managing Director of National Petrochemical Co. (NPC) since Sept. 20, 2008, Salim was promoted by Minister Nozari to replacing Gholam-Hossein Nejabat. Until then, Salim was managing director of BIK Petrochemical Co. Nejabat had been head of NPC since October 2006 (see his profile in down17IranWhoApr23-07).
On April 22, 2009, NPC signed a preliminary contract with Turkey's Petrochemical Holding Corporation (Petkim) for the creation of a methanol and polyethylene complex in Iran. The planned polyethylene facility will have capacity of 300,000 t/y and the methanol plant will have a capacity of 1.65m t/y. Saudi-based Injaz Projects took a 10% stake in Petkim in late 2007 as part of a consortium with Azerbaijan Oil & Gas Co. (Socar), Kazakhstan's Kazmunaigaz and Turkey's Turcas Petroleum.
In early April, NPC said it exported $7.1 bn worth of petrochemical products in the year ending on March 20, 2009. Methanol, polyethylene, LPGs/NGLs, and ethylene were the main exports. NPC said it had produced 29.7m t/y of petrochemicals in the 12-month period and expected to boost exports to 39m t/y in fiscal 2009-10.
Iran's petrochemicals sector has faced many problems since Nematzadeh moved to NIORDC in early 2006. In mid-April 2006, NPC cancelled the olefins-11 ethylene project. That summed up the troubles affecting the contracting market in Iran. Over the previous two years, one project after another had fallen by the wayside. Najabat, then head of NPC's tendering arm, was partly to blame for the cancellation. Affected by that was a consortium led by Linde of Germany and including Hyundai Engineering & Construction of South Korea and the local Sazeh Consult, which was the only contender left with a valid bid for the project. The group had proposed doubling the size of the plant to reduce costs and feed a new ethylene pipeline planned for western Iran. But NPC, acting on orders from the Petroleum Ministry, abruptly cancelled the project. As a result, serious damage was done to NPC's reputation among foreign and local contractors (see the background in down16IranPetchmApr16-07).

|April 16, 2012
|Having been caffeine restricted for some time, I have finally found something even better! Little milk and honey, and wow!
|Red Tea! The strongest antioxidant
|April 01, 2012
|Red Tea! And, it's not from China but from Africa. The only problem I had is I couldn't search for Red Tea. After research it is found to be the strongest anti-oxidant in tea that exists. Red Tea is most often called Rooibos African Tea. It really needs to be called Red Tea as that is what all the buzz is about. The aroma is strong and somewhat like cinnamon without the sweetness. It is an acquired taste. But, once you adjust you will never go back. Honey and Stevia best used to keep it natural. Amazing double bang for your money!
|A Great Tea
|March 27, 2012
|In the past year my doctor discovered I have lowered kidney function. I've given up black teas, coffee, all sodas, and many foods in an attempt to prevent more damage. Red Rooibos is a great tea for people in my position. It doesn't hurt the kidneys, and it's a rich, flavorful tea.
|Very relaxing!
|March 17, 2012
|I drink this tea every night and it makes miracles with my sleep. I have a very stressful job, but I get always a good night sleep whenever I drink it.
|The Best Red Tea

|Great Tea
|November 16, 2011
|If you're looking for a healthy, organic tea, this is one to add to your collection. I, myself, love to drink different kinds of tea throughout the day to enjoy the different health benefits of each. This will be added to my permanent daily drink

Hot Topic: Global warming dangers are exaggerated, skeptics claim
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, created by the United Nations in 1988, recently released its fifth assessment report on global warming, finding a 95 percent scientific certainty that human activity such as the burning of fossil fuels causes climate change. But as the scientific consensus on climate change has increased, public opinion surrounding the issue has not followed.
A Rasmussen survey published Oct. 11 found that only 30 percent of likely voters in the United States consider global warming to be a "very serious" problem. And only 44 percent said global warming is primarily caused by human activity. Both those findings are in line with other national surveys this year. That disconnect is clearly related to several factors: the reality that some earlier forecasts have not come true; claims by some global warming adherents, such as former Vice President Al Gore, that were false; and a vocal campaign by some scientists and political groups to deny or at least raise skepticism about the dominant scientific consensus.
The U-T Editorial Board met recently with two leading climate-change skeptics, scientists S. Fred Singer and Robert M. Carter, along with Joseph Bast, president and CEO of the Heartland Institute, a think tank that promotes skepticism about human-caused climate change. Below is an edited transcripts of that interview.
Q: You recently released your own report on climate change. Could you summarize the findings?
Carter: It is a peer-reviewed volume, like the IPCC report. Neither IPCC nor NIPCC does research themselves. They look at the corpus of scientific literature. And there's a key difference between the way they look at that literature. The IPCC was set up to advise governments. It operates under the framework of the Convention on Climate Change of the United Nations. And that convention defines climate change as change produced not by all greenhouse gas emissions, but by human greenhouse gas emissions. So it's not the fault of the members of the IPCC that everything they write has large horse blinkers on because they are tasked with only looking at the effect of human carbon dioxide emissions on the climate. ... We look at climate change in the round. And greenhouse gas emissions are one possible influence. But another one that we think is much more important than the IPCC concedes is solar influence. So you've got these two different groups of expert scientists. They look at the same international scientific literature. But they draw very different conclusions.
Q: What are those conclusions?
Carter: I'm just going to read you one. "We conclude no evidence exists for adverse changes to the global environment caused by human-related carbon dioxide emissions … No systematic changes have been documented in evaporation or rainfall, or in the magnitude or intensity of extreme meteorological events." We go to one other statement. You are aware that the IPCC's primary argument is that they have computer models. This quotation relates to that. "We, the NIPCC, conclude the current generation of general circulation models are unable to make accurate projections of climate even 10 years ahead, let alone the hundred-year period that has been adopted by policy planners. The output of such models should therefore not be used to guide public policy formulation until they have been validated and shown their predictive value."

One of the best ways to get to know the area is to cruise west along I-10 from Balmorhea to Fort Hancock, passing, in order, the Davis, Apache, Wylie, Carrizo, Beach, Quitman, Malone, and those Finlay Mountains, as well as the Sierra Blanca and Devil's Ridge. At first sight most of these ranges, not high enough for the kind of bio-diversity you find up in the Guadalupes or Chisos, appear to be nothing more than sweltering piles of collapsing rock. But if you watch for a while, the patterns of stone and sky start to add up to a stark grandeur, and my hope is that you'll begin to treasure the gaunt beauty of these parts. Then maybe you'll find yourself jamming on two pairs of socks and hiking boots, ready to roam the canyons and trails high above the desert.
Guadalupe Mountains
Location: Northwestern Culberson County, 110 miles east of El Paso on U.S. 62/180
Highest points:
Guadalupe Peak (8,749 feet)
Bush Mountain (8,615 feet)
Shumard Peak (8,599 feet)
Bartlett Peak (8,497 feet)
Hunter Peak (8,258 feet)
El Capitan (8,064 feet)
Lost Peak (7,818 feet)
The camel may be the ship of the desert, but the Guadalupe Mountains loom like an ocean liner over the callous ranchland of Reeves and Culberson counties. Magnify this metaphor vertiginously when you stand three thousand feet above the desert floor on top of Guadalupe Peak watching as the storms blow in. That's the hike that everybody wants to take, but there are in fact seventy more miles of trails traversing the 86,000 acres of the Guadalupe Mountains National Park (nps.gov/gumo; 915-828-3251). So while a trip to the top of the state is mandatory, it's just scratching the surface of what you can find in the only legally designated wilderness in West Texas.
If this is your first time, stop at the Pine Springs Visitor Center to get your bearings. Once you've checked in, wander down the short Pinery Trail; the signs that identify various shrubs and trees along the way will bring you up to speed with desert flora. As to fauna, there's great bird-watching right at the campsite parking lot where the trail to the Peak begins. If you want to explore deeper, this is also the southern end of the transmountain Tejas Trail, which starts with a grueling ascent to the Bowl, a forested lost world hidden behind the high pine tree—dotted ridges of Hunter Peak. You can hike this trail all the way to the campsite at Dog Canyon close to the New Mexico border, but I like to drive here and make this my base, rather than Pine Springs. The fall colors in this remote valley are just as beautiful as the more popular McKittrick Canyon. Those Carlsbad Caverns (nps.gov/cave, 575-785-2232) are a must-see, and you should also try to visit Sitting Bull Falls, the only place for many miles around where your body can be immersed in water. From Dog Canyon, try the Bush Mountain Trail, an exercise in stamina and solitude that follows the western edge of the range, where backcountry campers will enjoy exceptional views of the sunset, or hike up to McKittrick Ridge for the view into McKittrick Canyon. This vista is at its best in October, when the maples put on their colorful display, but the only season to avoid is spring, when winds of more than one hundred miles an hour are common. In summer the high country stays cool, and in winter frequent snowfalls turn the pine forests into a real-life Narnia. If you own a horse, you can take advantage of the corrals at Dog Canyon and Frijole Ranch—sixty percent of the trails are open to riders. Backpackers don't have to stay on the trails, but there's no rock climbing or mountain biking allowed. Whatever you do there, what you'll find in the Guadalupe Mountains is seclusion surrounded by nature in all its glory, from tiny hummingbirds to the grandest peaks. Despite the ravages wrought by accidental fires and the ongoing drought, these mountains are a unique paradise. Stay a week or more and let the world wash off you.
Hueco Tanks
Location: El Paso County, 32 miles northeast of El Paso, 4 miles north of Texas Highway 62 on Ranch Road 2775
Highest point (in the Hueco Mountains): Cerro Alto (6,787 feet)
Out on Texas Highway 62 El Paso never really ends. Sprawling junkyards give way to sun-bleached signs promising heaven in subdivisions that are nothing but geometric patterns carved on the featureless desert sand. The Hueco Tanks, entirely different from the dusty mountains that surround them, lie next to one of these sparsely developed grids as though some lazy Hercules had swept the plateau's debris into three untidy piles. Years of erosion have sculpted these volcanic rocks into an unlikely oasis of shallow pools and shade; plants, animals, and humans have always been attracted to the food and shelter they provide.
From the early Jornada Mogollon people to the Tigua and Kiowa Indians—who fought each other and the Mexican Army among the boulders—the tribes that lived here left not only pottery and rock paintings that archeologists prize as an irreplaceable record of their cultures but also a spiritual imprint that the Tigua still cherish and defend. More recent visitors—travelers, picnickers, and rock climbers—have left their mark as well, and often in a way that showed little respect for the area's artifacts or its aura. As a result, Texas Parks and Wildlife, which took custody of Hueco Tanks in 1969, has placed most of these hills off bounds to unsupervised visitors. The climbing community, for whom the Tanks are a world-class attraction, have loudly protested these restrictions. But since this is a State Historical Park (tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/findadest/parks/hueco_tanks, 915-857-1135), the TPWD is obligated to find ways to protect the cultural and natural resources of the Tanks, and everybody who comes here is required to watch a ten-minute orientation video that underscores the importance of this mission.

Review: The person who took my order was very friendly and helpful. I really liked the option to have most of the wraps as salads. The Asian tofu salad was really good! The ginger dressing was super yummy. I couldn't resist trying a cupcake and got the coconut. It was very coconutty (which is good), but the frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste. As far as cupcakes go, the ones I had at Bunner's bakeshop in Toronto, Canada are still the best.

State Trends in Applications, Allowances, and Benefit Receipts for Children with Mental Impairments (GAO-12-498SP, June 2012), an E-supplement to GAO-12-497

What GAO Found
This document is an E-supplement to GAO-12-497. This e-supplement provides information on state trends in applications, medical allowances, and benefit Supplemental Security Income (SSI) receipts for children with mental impairments from 2000 to 2011. It contains two interactive maps, which can be accessed using the links below. The first map presents state data on SSI applications and allowances for children with mental impairments. Data represented as "applications" reflect SSI benefit claims where a disability determination services (DDS) examiner made an initial disability determination decision. Some applications may have been submitted prior to the year when a determination was made. In addition, some applications could have more than one determination if the claim is selected for a quality review or if the disability claim is updated during the same year. Data on allowances and allowance rates refers to initial level allowances, not final allowances, which include appeals decisions. The second map presents state data on benefit receipts for children with mental impairments, as well as for children with the primary impairments most frequently medically allowed for SSI benefitsattention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), speech and language delay, and autistic disorder and other pervasive development disorders (autism). (Children with attention deficit disorder are also included in the ADHD category.) To account for variations in state size, applications (determinations) and receipts data are presented as a share of the state child population for each year. To navigate between years and impairments, click on the hyperlinked tabs across the top of maps. Roll your mouse over a state to view state data for the selected year and impairment.

Plus, backwards compatible with the DS and the ability to download Gameboy Advance games in the future put it over the line for me.

3DS. I didn't really get into handheld games until very late in the DS's life and seeing as the 3DS can play both it has just an insanely huge amount of high quality games to play. The only thing I miss from the DS lite is the ability to play GBA games.

I voted my 3DS, but in retrospect I probably should have said Game Boy Advance. Man, that thing is awesome, it's like the PS2 of handhelds. Well, a DS Lite would probably be a better answer since it can play both DS and GBA games, but the GBA library seems like the better and more varied one.
Nintendo, you stupid motherfuckers, if you would only put SNES, N64, and GBA games on your Virtual Console, you would have the absolute greatest thing ever. As it stands, my PSP does those things.

My fond experience with a purple Gameboy Color and a copy of Pokemon Red will likely never be supplanted.
Gameboy Advance, definitely. I owned the Color before it, which saw quite a bit of use, and the DS after it which sadly came nowhere near the first two. It probably has to do with the fact that I got a laptop in the middle of the DS's lifespan which quickly took over many uses, like playing games while watching TV (I'm a terrible multitasking addict) But the Advance... so many fond memories. I think my fondest is playing Fire Emblem on a flight to Crete.

It's a difficult choice between the Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo DS. Though, I would say that the GBA produced more memorable games for me.
At one point my house was just full of DS's. I put off buying a DS for awhile but eventually caved and bought the original phat which I may have given away, can't remember and upgraded myself to the lite which I still think was the best DS. It was a great system once it came into its own and devs knew what to actually do with both screens.

GBA SP, amazing console, and so many amazing games.
Edit: Forgot the two magical letters that are SP.
GBC. It was my first handheld console and it was bundled with Pokemon Red. So many memories of training Pokemon and losing battles in the Pokemon League.
Recently found Pokemon Gold as well but the battery for the save file has died, which has rendered playing it a bit pointless. So many great games on that handheld!
As a raw device, the Vita is the best handheld I ever played, hands down.
But if you factor in the games side, 3ds is the best handheld around. With both it's own library and the original DS library at it's disposal, there's nothing around that can compare to it, I think.
This made me realize, that we are probably living in a handheld golden era (or maybe it's last gasp... who knows)
P.s: I don't have any fondness for the gameboys, although the GBA has some awesome games, it never grabbed me. And choosing either PSP or DS for favorite it's just a design thing, because all those games are playable in their superior counterparts.

It kinda has to be the 3DS for me. It has a lot of cool games itself, I can play all my DS games, I can play some GBA games and some of the best GB games.
@psylah said:
You people are nuts, the Advance was TERRIBLE and UNPLAYABLE under normal lighting conditions.
The Advance SP on the other hand, is perfect.
I tend to agree.
And while we're complaining, it seems like everybody is basically picking whatever handheld system they grew up with, regardless of the quality of the device or the quality of its library. Because I guarantee that the GBA shouldn't be tied for first, compared to the strength of the OG Game Boy library and the DS library. The GBA came out in 2001, and not much of significance came out any later than 2005, and honestly 4.5 years can only produce so many great games, compared to the near-decade-long generations that were the Game Boy and DS.
Then again, I guess the poll title does say "your favourite handheld", not "the best", so I'll let it slide.
Seriously though, the Game Boy really should have more votes.

The GBA was really amazing and the DS follow up was possibly even better, there was just a ridiculous amount of really good games for those things.
I'm excited that the 3DS finally seems to be picking up steam too, being pretty much the only system this year with a decent amount of games coming.

The Vita is really great you guys, in fact I am writting this from a Vita. Also I had a PSP Go so my entire library crossed over. The games and apps are great. Fighting games are perfect on this thing.
It has got to be the GBA SP. It was super portable, and there were a ton of excellent games for that system. I loved my DS, but even towards the end of its cycle the polygonal games were always just a bit too aliased for me to really enjoy how they looked. The Vita is a gorgeous piece of hardware, but it doesn't have the game lineup yet.

The native OhmBoyz from Ohm Force is a stereo multi-tap delay that features 4 independent taps of pre-delay ranging from ping pong and chorus to reverse beat. Each has its own level, stereo balance and time controls, which can be controlled in milliseconds or in tempo-synchronized note increments. OhmBoyz is suitable for use in live sound contexts as well as in the studio.
The range of sonic possibilities offered by OhmBoyz is unlimited. You can achieve everything from highly precise delays to endless feedback-ridden echoes degenerating into chaotic mayhem. The OhmBoyz is a complex signal processor; after passing the stereo delay, the signal goes through two resonant filters, distortion and high shelf. Additionally, most parameters have their own dedicated LFOs. Thanks to auto-bind, you can control any parameter via MIDI; e.g. LFO, filter, distortion, etc. Morph between presets to produce surprising transition effects.
- Two Views!
- OhmBoyz plug-ins come with two skins: the classic one gives you all the controls in a neat, analog-rack-like interface. The other one, called "funky," embodies the true spirit of Ohm Force.

Energy Efficient eBook-Reader Runs on Linux
The Hanlin eReader V3 from Tianjin Jinke Electronics out of China claims to provide a month of use between battery charges. By then 10,000 pages of reading should have been possible – provided you have the requisite time and patience.
Thanks to its ePaper electronic ink display, the Hanlin eReader V3 can save on power consumption, according to its producer. Once a page is fully displayed, further power is not needed. An additional benefit is that the text-to-background contrast helps readability in even the poorest light.
Unlike Amazon's Kindle eBook reader, which is also based on electronic ink technology, the Hanlin is not equipped with Internet access. However, this point is moot for non-U.S. users in that Amazon's Kindle is available only in the U.S. due to its dependence on Sprint's EVDO network.
The Hanlin device accepts content over an SD card (up to 4 Gbytes) or via USB 1.1, with text formats including PDF, DOC, MP3, HTML, TXT, CHM, PNG, TIF, GIF, JPG, PPT, EPUB and LIT. It supports numerous languages (with more to come) and weighs 7.5 ounces. Wolf Linux, an apparent Chinese Linux variant, is the operating system and the device runs on a Samsung Arm9 CPU at 200 MHz. Memory consists of a 32 MB SDRAM and an internal 2 MB NOR Flash. The 6-inch display should be easily readable at a resolution of 800x600 pixels. A stereo audio jack is included.
Availability of the source code is still questionable. December of last year, a user on the GPL violations mailing list tried unsuccessfully to obtain certain source code elements.
The Hanlin eBook is unlikely to be on Ebay any time soon, but is available for $361 from the Jinke website, albeit only by bank wire transfer (no credit cards or PayPal). Alternatively, the product is orderable as the "Walkbook" from a vendor out of Istanbul via PayPal.

First I unplug the refrigerator, then I unscrewed the cardbord cover with a screwdriver, disconnected the wires, unscrewed the screws, removed fan bracket with the fan. Since my wire connector was different, I had to strip the wires to connect the fan, twist wires together with the connecting wires, use wire nuts wire nuts and wrapped in black tape. I then hooked together the connection making sure the fan was rotating in the right direction. I then placed the fan bracket back in its place, lined up the screwed holes and installed the screws back to the original tightness. I plugged the refrigerator up to see if the fan was working properly. It was so I unplugged it again to start the nwxt part replacement.The next part I installed was a icemaker and water dispenser water inlet valve. I turned off the incoming water valve. I removed the two screws that held the old water valve in place. Unplugged the two connectors, removed the water lines and reinstalled the new water inlet valve hooking it up the way I unhooked it. Then I turned on incoming water line, checked for leaks. I put the cardboard panel back on and was done. The two parts were successfully installed in an hour. We now have a efficiently working refrigerator and a cold freezer and have the proper amount of ice cubes that are supposed to be made.

(Toronto April 30, 2009) A unique mother-daughter study that used magnetic resonance to measure breast density in younger women shows that percent of breast water could be linked to the risk of breast cancer in middle age and older.
The findings, published online today in Lancet Oncology, add another key piece to the puzzle of understanding more about breast density, an inheritable characteristic known to be a cancer risk factor, that could aid in developing prevention methods, says principal investigator Dr. Norman Boyd, a scientist at The Campbell Family Institute for Breast Cancer Research at Princess Margaret Hospital.
Dr. Boyd initially verified breast density (mammographic density, or MD) as a strong risk factor for breast cancer in middle aged and older women in a landmark study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2007. Until now, little was known about the development of breast density in early life, or how it relates to a young woman's height, weight and age, and the breast density of their mothers.
The findings of the current study indicate that risk assessment using less harmful techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) instead of X-ray should start much earlier in life.
Says Dr. Boyd: "It is known that the breast is most susceptible to the effects of carcinogens at early ages. Our findings suggest that differences in breast tissue composition in early life may be a potential mechanism for this increased susceptibility. By identifying the environmental and genetic factors that influence breast tissue composition in early life we may be able to develop safe and effective methods of prevention."
In this study, between 2003-2006, the researchers recruited 400 mother-daughter pairs and used MRI to examine breast tissue in daughters, aged 15-30-years, and a random sample of 100 of the mothers. In the young women, MRI was used to measure breast water concentration to a

Kickended by Silvio Lorusso is online database artwork archiving the Kickstarted campaigns that got not even a single penny. This competitive aesthetics of failure has been able to attract the attention of major national newspapers (from the British "The Guardian" to the Italian "Corriere della Sera").
From Sun Tzu to Xbox: War and Video Games
Thunder's Mouth Press, ISBN 1560256818
In the controversial debate about the videogame role in social acceptance of violence, the military power avid interest in the field is not anymore a secret. Furthermore the mediatic videogame-like aesthetic debuted during the Gulf War in early nineties has become the norm, and pushes in every new conflict the bloodless screen-based interface of a real human mass murdering. Ed Halter wrote this documented book letting the reader navigate through the slim territories of the elegant game attack strategies' genesis and the invasive subtle marketing of the senseless murders and destructions' institutions. It's an enlightened path carved on the thin line that separates refined smartness from (ir)repressible aggressiveness. The signals reported in the text are proving the definitive fusion between the real military and videogame war-based contents (the US Army recruitment game coding and the Kuma product marketing are amongst the most bright examples). To frame them many precious less-known scenarios were reported in the context, like the ones occurred in the obscure proto-web multiuser network named PLATO, or the operation Igloo White that implemented 20.000 advanced sensors in Vietnam during the U.S. war (soon hacked in various low-tech ways by the local population). Moreover a comprehensive selection of political digital art works on the theme is commented, scattered in different part of the book. In the end this is an estimable work, a milestone of research in videogame studies, that should be even more useful contributing to fill the lack of awareness in the current media-induced absence of distinction between wars appearing on the screen and wars taking place in reality.

Cutting Costs on Capitol Hill
Wednesday - 2/25/2009, 3:09pm EST
They're trying to cut costs on Capitol Hill and Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) is leading the way when it comes to looking at the Defense Department.
The Senator has crafted a bill that would require DoD contracts to be reexamined if the cost goes up 25 percent over the initial estimate.
The idea was rolled out last week at President Barack Obama's financial summit, held at the White House last Monday.
Levin was one of many high-profile lawmakers who talked about acquisition at the meeting.

NVSU Working With It - Getting Information and Summary
Information Page
This page is self explanatory. This screen capture was with my own setup, an ABIT NF7-S v2.0 motherboard and AMD AthlonXP Barton firstname.lastname@example.com. As you can see this page contains information on just about anything about your hardware and drivers. The information displayed is like what you would get with utility program WCPUID or CPUZ.
The Processor Information displays all details of the CPU as, Brand, Name as well as Family, Model and stepping numbers. This might be handy for some would be Opteron buyers, as it has been rumored that earlier steppings of Opterons have disappointing SSE2/SSE performance. Later stepping Opterons is said to have corrected this glitch. This can let you see if you have the earlier stepping Opteron and then exchange for a latter stepping Opteron. Clicking on the More button will let you see even more detailed information as you can see below.
This window displays information like feature flag and additional information about the CPU. This display is only available on uniprocessor systems.
Memory Information displays vendor and part number for each memory module you install. Clicking on the More
button will open a window to show you detailed information about your memory module as shown below.
With this is you get detailed information that is taken directly from your memorys SPD. The details are provided in HEX and translated format. For nForce2 motherboards, only information for 3 DIMM slots will appear. For nForce2 motherboards with 4 memory slots, you will have to have support enabled in your motherboards BIOS to display information on all 4 slots. For Nforce3 motherboards all information for the 4 memory slots will be displayed.
Motherboard Information information will display details with regards to your motherboard including, vendor name, model number and PCB version.
nForce Information will display details on the nForce chipset itself, including MCP and SPP/IGP version as well as stepping version.
Calculated System Performance will display details of your calculated CPU speed, CPU FSB, AGP and memory speed. These are displayed in DDR format. It also displays your current clock multiplier setting.
Version Information displays your current nForce and graphics driver versions. Addition details on OS and DirectX versions are also shown.
NVSU is really a powerful suit of tools that will suit the casual tinker happy overclocker. There is more than enough to settings to configure within NVSU for a decent overclocking experience. Without a doubt, overclocking and being able to tweak voltages of your CPU, memory, and AGP, and also change fan speeds on the fly is probably one of the best features of NVSU. Some of these features are available with minimal BIOS support which means as soon you install, you can tweak away.
Even though there isnt a way to change memory divider with NVSU (due to hardware limitations). That shouldnt be a deterrent if you have high performance memory modules. It shouldnt be too much of a problem with forward planning for people with not so high performance memory modules, as you can plan ahead by allowing headroom for the memory when overclocking. Profiles are another feature of convenience of NVSU that will save a lot of end-users time.
Changing advanced BIOS setting within a windows session is also major advantage with NVSU. With all that, there is also a hardware information page where you can view various bits of information. Hardware monitoring is also present with NVSU and will cater for the enthusiasts who want to keep tabs of temperature or settings.
I was extremely impressed with NVSU but, there are a few minor points which I hope NVIDIA will be able to sort out for a future release. One is that the labels on graphs or some sliders could have had numerical values. This is of course my own personal preference but, having values as opposed to percentage labels would be less confusing. Also the graphical view also reported my temperature higher than what is shown with the hardware utility that came with my motherboard - Hardware Doctor or even, Motherboard Monitor. I think in future releases maybe, the ability to minimize NVSU to the system tray whilst displaying selected temperature just like Motherboard Monitor would be nice.
However readers should note that it was just the pre-release generic version 0.92 of the NVSU I was previewing. NVSU customized by OEM motherboard manufacturers may (or may not) provide a better solution as they can tinker the NVSU to suit them.
So there you have it, a preview of NVSU; a collection of powerful tools for your overclocking goodness and it will be available with Forceware very shortly and which, a lot of you out there with nForce2 or nForce3 motherboards will be happy with.
Before I end, as a precaution, please be sure to have backup copy of your bios with flash utilities on a bootable floppy just in case. Remember that NVIDIA nor nV News is NOT responsible for any damage you cause after reading this article and/or using NVSU.

The 2014 midterm election cycle has not even officially started yet and already here's a taste of corporate and special interest election spending according to FEC filings:
Lockheed Martin:$870,500
American Bankers Association:$861,000
Goldman Sachs:$530,500
Altria (Philip Morris's parent co.):$475,215
Exxon Mobil:$344,500
JP Morgan Chase:$268,000
And the political action committee of Koch Industries, KOCHPAC, gave more money in June to federal candidates and committees than it ever has in any other month during a non-election year!

You appear to be a very troubled person.
When so many negative comments are about you, you may need to take a moment and reflect on your actions.
Now this is hitting the nail on the head John! How can you call yourself a good Christian and in the same posting you are calling Victor "Pee" that is the most childish thing I have ever seen coming from someone claiming to be a good Christian and a business owner in our City! I have done business before with you John but after reading what you post, I am done with doing business in your shop! You had better attend service and you might want to talk to your pastor and share him and the rest of your brothers and sisters and let them know what your up to on you at home time!

With the method of analytical mechanics, this paper studies the motions of a gyrotheodolite under the action of (1) the torque of gravity only, (2) the torque applied by the band suspension, (3) the torque of the band suspension with air damping considered, the equations of motion are then established and their solutions are found. Furthermore, analysis of the law of motion and the behaviour of gyro-theodolite during the orientation is made.

US Senate confirms Wall Street critic as Treasury No. 2
Published on Mar 13, 2014 2:05 AM
WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - The US Senate on Wednesday approved Federal Reserve Governor Sarah Bloom Raskin to be the No. 2 official at the Treasury Department, backing a critic of Wall Street to help coordinate an overhaul of financial regulations.
The Senate approved the nomination by voice vote.
Ms Raskin, who was a state banking supervisor before she joined the Fed, is expected to play a central role in the roll-out of regulations aimed at preventing a repeat of the 2007-09 financial crisis.
Her departure from the central bank opens yet another seat on the Fed's board for President Barack Obama to fill.

ALL-NIGHT ravers who take ecstasy might not be harming their brains any more than drug-free party animals.
So say John Halpern and colleagues at Harvard Medical School in Boston, who argue that many studies apparently showing that ecstasy use can lead to memory loss and depression were flawed as they did not take account of the rave culture associated with ecstasy use. Lack of sleep and dehydration resulting from all-night dancing can cause cognitive problems on their own, they say.
Halpern's team compared ecstasy users with non-users who had a history of all-night dancing with limited exposure to alcohol and drugs. Both groups completed tests for verbal fluency, memory, depression and other factors.
The team found no significant differences in cognitive performance between the two groups, even when they compared non-users with heavy users of the drug (Addiction, DOI: 10.1111/j.1360-0443.2010.03252).

Property Details
House, 6 Bedrooms, 5 Baths, 10 Sleeps
Enjoy all the comforts of this 3,100 square foot home. This home is decorated with all the comforts in mind. This home boasts six large bedrooms and five bathrooms with most of the bedrooms having their own private bathrooms! We have carefully decorated this home to make this a "home away from home" for all your family and friends to enjoy. This home may be large, but it's great for both large and small gathering of friends and family. We purchased this home a few years ago and have been remodeling it from a 70's home to a modern home. The kitchen, alder cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and travertine flooring has just been completed and is brand new (as of January 2015) and the kitchen has a grand and open feel to it.
We're located at the intersection of canals 2 & 3 thus offering one of the best open canal views in the Key's. All the canals lead to the main Colorado River and offer a calm water flow for the kids and adults to chill and float while sipping on your favorite drink. The canals are perfect for swimming, kayaking, tube floating, stand boarding, and just plain fishing.
PLEASE NOTE: Were Sorry but we don't allow any pets. We've had considerable damage in the past and it's not really fair to the pets to be left in an unfamiliar house and locked in a bedroom while you're out, its not fair to the house fixtures and all its components, and not fair to future guests with pet allergies. Sorry.
Also please note, There is no roof top access for 'laying out' at this time.

We loved this place!
As for the parking, this home has one of the largest lots in the keys and when my family goes, we can fit … let's see the photo…8 cars??? Hmmm I guess it really depends on the competence of the drivers perhaps?
As for the "Roof Top Access" there is no roof top access. There never was and never will be. A roof is a dangerous place to be. These girls made an assumption. If there was access to the roof to "lay-out", wouldn't it be a big feature worth mentioning in the description? There's nothing but roof tiles, air conditioners, and vent pipes up there.
We pride ourselves on providing a clean and safe environment for our guests but there were no calls made to Kim at RGR Realty, (management) because if there was a complaint, She would have totally bent over backwards to satisfy them.
Remember, this is a normal residential community where some people rent out their houses. Its not some sort of magical place like the Waldorf Astoria…. or the Marriott….. You're renting a normal house. I don't know of a single house here in Parker where the Owner washes your Dishes for you or takes out your Trash. That's a normal responsibility that these girls were not willing do for themselves and expected someone else do it for them.
As always, should you have any questions or need anything please feel free to call Kim at RGR Realty or call me personally at the numbers listed on the site.
Thank You!

SINE Isochronic Entrainer is a Free and Open Source Brainwave Entrainment application.
Brainwave Entrainment is the practice of using sounds, visual stimuli or even electromagnetic fields to alter the frequency of brainwaves.
It can be done for several reasons: people with insomnia can take great benefit from it, but it can also be used to improve your attention span, and even simulate the effects of some recreational drugs.
The effect is not permanent, and fades away in less than a minute after the stimuli is removed.
Isochronic tones are a commonly used aural stimuli for Brainwave Entrainment, consisting of short pulses of a sine wave, varying in frequency.
Unlike binaural beats, isochronic tones can be played on speakers.
The Player supports touchscreens and high resolution displays.
Includes a graphical editor for making presets, with a manual.
SINE Isochronic Entrainer Web Site
- Isochronic tones
- Multiplatform (PC and Android)

I USED to host a local talk show called Pillow Talk, where I interviewed celebrities in their pajamas on various topics revolving around relationships.
It occurred to me, that no matter how beautiful, talented or popular the celebrities were, if they had relationship issues, it is more than a nagging thorn in one's side.
It can affect your entire well-being, from your appetite, to the quality of your sleep and your general sense of self-worth.
What became painfully clear to me was the fact that so many of our relationship issues date way back to where we came from and how we were brought up.
According to Vancouver doctor and author Gabor Maté, exposure to childhood trauma, as early as age four, can lead to higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the body and the brain, and these results show up on brain scans 14 years later.
Hence, children growing up in these abusive environments may also get into stressful situations or relationships without recognising them because they're so accustomed to it.
In 2009, to everyone's surprise and dismay, the world saw Rihanna, the pop singer returning to her abusive R&B singer boyfriend, Chris Brown, after he hit her face.
Rihanna and Brown both came from abusive families, where destructive patterns become learnt behaviours. We have all too often seen history repeating itself.
It is tragic to think that Brown became the very epitome of his horrific father he was so repulsed by, in his childhood.
Reportedly, Brown used to live in so much fear and hatred of his stepfather because he used to watch him bashing his mother up in front of him as a little boy, until she bled.
In fact, in an interview with Giant Magazine, Chris told his mother once, "I'm gonna take a baseball bat one day while you're at work, and I'm gonna kill him."
Closer to home, there was an actress I met on my travels who used to play very strong character roles and she was so convincing on screen, that you would almost assume she possessed the same strength off screen but she was one of the most fragile women I knew.
She grew up with a tyrannical, abusive father who had impossibly high standards.
Despite the fact he never hit her, verbal abuse is still an active form of abuse and he eroded away his daughter's self-esteem over time.
No matter how hard she tried to gain his approval, it was embedded long ago, that she was simply not good enough.
She also lived such a strict, regimented life that she hardly had any time for play.
Any kid should have dedicated time to just be a kid and have unstructured, imaginative play time because it is so crucial for their
cognitive, social and emotional development.
In fact, in a pilot study where psychiatrist Stuart Brown interviewed 26 convicted Texas murderers, he discovered that most of the killers shared two things in common. They were from abusive families, and they never played as kids (source: ScientificAmerican.com).
Fortunately, my friend did not grow up with any violent tendencies but she was drawn to men who treated her badly and consistently put her down.
She dated a string of possessive and controlling partners. It was fairly obvious when you started drawing the parallels, that she was attracted to men who reminded her of her father.
Somehow, she was always falling short of their expectations and
craving their approval.
Abuse can be very subtle and prolonged, such that you may not even realise it is a form of abuse.
For instance, one of her partners was always quick to point out her flaws and compare her to other actresses, affecting her sense of self-worth.
She also had a partner who used to keep track of all her movements and even selfishly got her to turn down roles that would require her to shoot scenes overseas.
While he was firmly trying to establish himself as the centre of her universe, she started losing friends and acting roles because of the choices and sacrifices she made for him.
In all her relationships, she was always on the receiving end of abuse or control. Recurring patterns don't get fixed by changing partners. It is you and your perception about yourself that must change first.
When she was finally single for a stretch, surrounded by supportive friends and able to really focus on her career, she started to heal.
Many abused partners feel isolated and alone because they choose not to talk about what they are going through.
It is so important if you know someone in an abusive relationship, to reassure them that they do not need to face everything alone.
When someone speaks up and is supported by friends or professionals they can trust, it may finally give them the strength to end the abuse.
So, always keep your eyes and your heart open to those who may need you in their darkest hour.
