195.36.31 driver and Quadro 2000/4000 ?
We have found a number of issues using the 256 or 260 series drivers with Quadro 4000 and 2000 cards - which 'go away' when we use the older 195.36.31 driver.
According to the release notes, the Quadro 4000 was not supported until the 256.44 driver and the Quadro 2000 was not supported until the 260.19.12 driver - so we were quite surprised that the 195.36.31 appears to work fine (and better?) with these cards.
At the moment, we are not sure if our problems are with in-house or 3rd party code, so I don't want to point the finger at problems with the 256/260 drivers just yet.
Is it just luck that the 195.36.31 driver works with the Quadro 2000/4000 cards - or are we likely to run in to other issues?

Correction: When this webpage was first posted, it erroneously listed the Lawson Lecture date as April 16th, The actual date of the lecture is Wednesday, April 29th.
2015 Lawson Lecture:Induced Earthquakes in the 21st Century
Speaker: Dr. Greg Beroza, Stanford University
Date and Time: Wednesday April 29th, 5:30-6:30 PM
Location: Sutardja Dai Hall (CITRIS), Banatao Auditorium, UC Berkeley
Refreshments will be served in the Atrium following the lecture.
For directions and parking information, see map at right.
Earthquakes triggered by human activities have been documented for over half a century, but the past decade has seen a resurgence of induced earthquakes associated with energy resources. In 2006, a M3.4 earthquake occurred during geothermal energy development in Basel, Switzerland, causing the project to be abandoned. In 2009, concerns about triggered earthquakes in the Geysers, California contributed to the early termination of an experimental exploitation effort. New technologies (e.g., fracking) allow hydrocarbons to be recovered from shale formations; however, injection of water produced from the shale has the potential to trigger earthquakes. Plans to reduce greenhouse gas in the atmosphere by deep CO2 injection would require such massive injection volumes that it may set off earthquakes. In all of these ways, induced seismicity is a problem that impacts future energy options, so it is important to understand it. The phenomenon of induced earthquakes also raises interesting questions. How can we tell induced earthquakes from naturally occurring, tectonic earthquakes? How can we predict where they are likely to occur? How can we mitigate the risk associated with induced earthquakes? How should induced earthquakes be treated in existing policy - from quantifying seismic hazard to mitigating the consequences of earthquakes? In this talk I will review recent instances of induced seismicity, and summarize the state of the science seeking to answer these questions.
All UCB lots have hourly public parking after 5:00 PM on weekdays. Lots shown on the map also have public parking before 5:00 PM. There is also hourly parking on Hearst and Euclid.
Banatao Auditorium is room 310 of Sutardja Dai Hall (CITRIS Building). It is on the main (3rd) floor. Coming from the Upper Hearst parking garage, access is at ground level after descending a flight of outdoor steps. Coming from Lower Hearst parking garage (entrance to SD hall next to Qualcomm Cyber Cafe), access is up one level by stair or elevator.

It took me a long time to know that I was depressed. Looking back, I now realize that I had my first bout of depression when I was about 7 years old. I can remember waking up day after day, hoping that today would finally be a "good day." I was quiet and withdrawn at school, didn't sleep well, and felt sad. It was several years later, however, when I took a college psychology class that I realized that what I had been feeling all those years wasn't the result of personal weakness. It was a real illness and could be treated. That realization changed my life.
How did you know that you were depressed?
what I felt...
- I am seventeen now and I have been in a prolonged state of depression since I was twelve or thirteen. The reason, as I have conjectured now lies within my own family. My parents have had a weird sort of relationship for as long as I can remember. If they had separated with harmony, I could have been spared all these pains but that simply didn't happen. They still live in the same house though on different floors. My mother has taken up the ground floor while my father resides on the first floor. He has kicked me out of my room which was on first floor, since I spoke out in my mother's favor in one of their public quarrels. I now sleep on the drawing-room sofa with my books and clothes crammed in a corner of my mother's bedroom. My mother is not happy with me either. In fact, she is profoundly disappointed with me. I guess, she wanted me do or be something extraordinary which would alleviate her troubles. But that never happened. Neither my grades nor my look has ever improve

My mom thinks I'm faking
- I'm thirteen, and I've been depressed for about a year now. One of my friends is also depressed and self-harms(just like me) and her mom talked to mine to see if I needed medication. I really think I need it, but my mom thinks I'm faking being depressed. Like, seriously. Why would I fake that. I feel like there's no point in life, and that I don't belong in this world. I haven't tried suicide, but I have carved words and symbols into my skin. As reminders that I was different as a kid, and that no one really understood me and made fun of me for it. I WANT to be reminded, so I can change who I am. Not to please them, to please me. I have tried drinking alcohol, but ended up spitting it out. Go figure. I need that medication, so I can be a happier person. It seemed to help my friend, maybe it will help me.

No Hopper
- I am now in my mid 40s and whatever I hope for comes out the opposite. My parents divorced when I was 11. I was then sent to lousy boarding schools & though I bright in school I failed to secure room in university. Started a clerical job and went up the ranks to Sales Manager. Loved my job & worked for 1 organisation for 17 yrs. Yet I was alwys depressed. Married for 13yrs & can't have kids. Wife is about to have uterus removed. I've been out of work for 5yrs trying to start my own thing but everyhing hits a brick wall. My relationship with my dad has always been poor, he never liked me. My mum is on a wheelchair due to a car cras. I can't fend for both of them. Right now I'm so broke & bored. If anything I just conteplate suicide! I don't drink. I love my wife even without kids. I'm a believer. Of course I have very few friends. I just prefer staying alone on my bedroom. WHY SHOULD LIFE BE SO UNFAIR??

- —Guest Rasool khan
- My uncle molested me for 7 yrs when I was a child. I smile a lot when i'm with people but when i'm alone, i get very bad thoughts & become afraid that i'll hurt myself. I have thought about ending my life & tried it twice but lately, I've given myself sometime to see maybe things will get better, if it doesnt, i dont know what i'll do. I started seeing a psychologist because my boyfriend said i need help and should see one and that's how i got to know i was depressed. I feel numb. Sometimes, i hurt myself or do extreme things just to feel. I wish I could feel sad but I cant feel anything anymore.

Not alone
- To daniel j, and anyone else, you're not alone and you will get through this. I will tell you, I've been through loneliness and self-destructive thoughts, mean teachers and bad friends. Whenever you're going through it, it feels like it's all there is. But no matter how much I ever felt like my life was over, I'm still here. There was something more waiting for me, and while I may have hard times again, most of life is good, you just have to get through the bad. A wise man once said, "When you're going through hell, keep going." And most of all, no matter how it feels, you're not alone. You have people who care about you. Keep going. :)
- —Guest Kate
am i depressed?
- i really dont know if im depressed, but i always cut myself. i have amazing friends. but my perents yell at me all the time. i was a only child tiil i was 13, im now i5 and my mum is pregnant again. i was her first so i was used to everything to myself. ive moved from melbourne to rosebud and all my old friends are in melbourne. and im thinking of moving out of home to my aunties in geelong, but im not sure if i should anymore. all my friends here are saying they dont want me to go. and its making it harder for me.
- —Guest karisa
- My mother has ridiculous expectations and her love is only given if those are met. I am a timid and insecure person by nature but fiercely loyal towards friends. between my mother and the rest of the jerks at school, both kids and adults I became suicidal by fourth grade and have been that way ever since. Every time I try to kill myself something happens and I survive so I have given up trying. I do not tell people how I feel because it make them sad and I never want to hurt anybody. People who find out tell me that I like to be sad and that I do what I do for attention, but most do not find out. I reached my mental limit four years ago and started to have times where my brain clicks off and I start beating myself up despite my promise to my boyfriend and it seems like more nights than not I go to bed crying. Nobody knows. Perhaps someday I will complete my purpose in life and finally get the rest I desire and save others from myself.
- —Guest Anon
You are not alone
- It's those moments where you sit silently with thoughts like freight trains speeding through your mind where it all seems to much. I turned on my computer, i was feeling low and decided i wanted to learn more about the triggers of depression or the signs. I guess i wanted some sort of confirmation for how i was feeling emotionally. When really I just want to be understood, understand myself. I think for many you don't even realise what your feeling is 'depression' 'bipolar' or any other clinical condition. You just feel something and enough around you tells you things can't stay the same. We all have a story, we can all name times, dates events where we felt changed, broken or empty. Amidst all of the lower points mentioned here there are some incredible lives who are far more braver, interesting and courageous than they like to think! In some small way, our stories reveal it might feel lonely, might feel worthless but we are Not alone I want to live, my story is worth tellin

Airbag Jacket any good? ( Hit Air Safermoto jacket & vest)
Are they any good?
The idea looks good ,but does it really work.
<!-- / message --> <!-- controls --> http://www.stromtrooper.com/forums/i...c/progress.gif
with the hit air jackets the CO2 catriges are replaceable, in case the spill didn't ruin the jacket.
the videos look good, check em out.
Impact Jacket
Had mine (Impact Jacket) for 3 months now and believe I'll stick with it. Here is a previous thread:
I'd recommend one of these to anyone.
I'm working on a simple magnetic reed switch gizmo that senses when I have it properly attached. My first prototype just lights a white LED tie-strapped next to the speedo. My next iteration will be a bit cleaner.
I've had no concerns about getting off the bike with the tether attached. If I forget, the tug is a reminder that doesn't trigger inflation. My bigger worry is the 2-3 times I've come to a stop and realized that I never connected it. No connection - no inflation! Hence the drive to build the attachment sensor.
BMW could integrate this into their bikes with full electronic interlock for under $10!
If it takes longer than, say, 30 milliseconds to fully inflate (car airbags use an explosion to to this), then it would seem to be useless.
30 milliseconds
Don't be so quick to reject. They do take far longer than explosive car airbags to inflate - closer to 500 milliseconds. A car bag must inflate quickly to save the little old lady driving with her face 3 inches from the steering wheel. On my bike, I'm more worried about hitting the ground - which is much farther away. If you look at my previous thread, you will see a YouTube video of a guy jumping off his sport bike as the jacket inflates. It gives an idea of the time involved.
Armor and air
I think you would like to have both. The airbag provides additional space for decelleration when you hit - which lowers the impact force. The armor distributes the impact load and reduces the chance for any puncture. You would think that running the airbag over traditional armor would be the ideal scenario.
Check out this guy:
I wish they would have run another 10 seconds of video to show the guy walking away!
My Impact Jacket material is very tough on its own and has "CE armor" (I'm sure there is a more technically accurate term) in the elbows and shoulders.
The inflation mechanism seems very simple and robust, but you still run the risk of forgetting to attach it. That's why I'm still working on a connection sensor. Other makers are working on accelerometer-based systems - but then you get electronics and batteries involved.
I suspect we'll see better systems hit the market at some point.
My Ford safety engineering friends would say that the ideal answer is a 2010 Taurus!
poor bike. That guy was a stint man though, he prepared for impact. What do you do if you're sideswiped or broadsided and hit the ground or have the vehicle hit you before you actually separate from the bike?
Say you lay the bike down in a low side, you hit the ground while still tethered to the bike, if you do this on the right, then you end up impacting that large metal cylinder before the airbag goes off.
Here's an video of a guy that had one on during an accident
Be nice if they made pants to
I understand the concern about the co2 cartridge, I don't carry anything hard in my jacket pockets. But, I do like the benefits of the whole jacket with the upper arms, torso, spine and neck brace all inflating. If you are going down what are the chances of landing on the cartridge itself ... maybe 5% and even then that might not be as bad as what would happen if you didn't have the inflation aspec at all. IMHO
Info about how to do the upgrade is here:
Slow motion testing is here (watch in HD so you can see the milliesecond counter in the upper right hand corner:
I don't know. I like the idea, but, something about it just seems prone to human/mechanical error. Forgetting to plug it in. Leak in cartridge. Leak in airbag. Failure of unit itself. How far can you slide before friction/heat pops the bag? Not to mention I just know I'd get off my bike in front of 100 people and forget to unplug.
How safe are these jackets without the air? I noticed on the safermoto.com site they do come with armor, but, we all know that could also be just a piece of foam. Not real armor at all. Seam strength? Burst strength? Abrasion resistance? This has got to be a VERY strong jacket if you're expecting to slide 150 feet without wearing through the outer fabric and hitting the bag.
I'd want this jacket to stand alone and rely on the air as a "bonus".
just read through the safermoto faq. That answered some of my questions/concerns. I still like the idea, but, just feel like the risk of failure outweighs the possible benefits. My biggest concern is the bag not deflating for whatever reason and landing on the c02 thingy. Seems they could have put it in a different spot?
Attaching the jacket or vest is like putting on a seatbelt. It turns into something you just do like strapping your helmet and gloves. A leak in the cartridge is highly unlikely. It is similar to cartridges in life vests (PFDs) etc. and I've never heard of one leaking. The cartridge sits in they keybox and is not punctured until the vest is activated.
The system is elegantly simple and there is a stainless steel ball in a spring powered piston. When the ball is pulled out the piston slams into the CO2 cartridge and punctures it.
I had one of our racers crash and slide on the tailbone part of the airbag 40-50 feet. This did burn a hole through the outer nylon cover and the airbag itself but by that time, the vest had done its job.
It is really hard to accidentally set one of these off. If you watch some of the videos, you can see the amount of force needed to set it off.
I used to think my Aerostich had enough armor for anything but after breaking a good chunk of my right shoulder last fall I looked harder at these airbag devices (funny how an injury focuses the attention!).
Picked up a YS vest the other day in the mail from Safermoto and tried out a test inflation at work on Friday:

First impressions
-vest is well made, looks like a quality piece. Bulkier, and I'd guess warmer, than the Icon Hi-Viz I had before, but still fairly trim before inflation.
-the inflator is bigger than I thought, feels like an overstuffed pocket. However there is armor behind it, plus the air bag, so it appears it won't cause problems. You can get extra chest armor yet, but I don't think I'll bother for now.
-it takes a pretty sharp tug to pop the trigger, looks like accidental inflation won't be a problem.
-inflation is almost instant, even though I have the old style slower assembly.
-the vest doesn't inflate a huge amount (no 'Michelin man'), but still probably 4 to 5X more thickness than the Aerostich armor I had. Grips tightly, feels reassuring. Starts to release air right away but still holds pressure a considerable time, more than enough to stop rolling, IMO.
-neck is supported very well, and between the 'collar' and the shoulder inflator I think it would have prevented a lot, if not all, the shoulder and head damage I suffered.
-repacking was surprisingly easy, a few snaps.

I love these gluten free Glutano maize noodles as a replacement for egg noodles! I buy them at my local natural foods store for $3.69 for a 8.8 ounce bag, which serves two to three people.
The noodles fresh out of the bag have a slightly twisted shape with a light yellow color, just like thin egg noodles. They cook in a mere 6 minutes and taste absolutely yummy with butter and garlic or a gluten free cream sauce. I use them in my stroganoff recipe with no problems. The noodles are a bit chewy and keep their shape after cooking and in recipes with minimal breakage. Be careful not to overcook, these gluten free noodles may clump together and seem a bit sticky.
Pros: Great egg noodle replacement, cooks fast, looks appetizing
Cons: be careful not to overcook
Rating: 4 1/2 stars

Next they will be looking for some wind to piss into
The Argies are all upset they've been spied on.
I'm surprised they even had a moan, they are still effectively at war over the Falkland Islands, which Argentina still think are theirs, even after their Army displayed a French like capacity for marching backwards while their Navy ended up on the bottom of the Atlantic.
The Argentine foreign ministry has summoned the British ambassador in Buenos Aires to complain about reports that Britain spied on Argentina amid renewed fears of a Falkland Islands invasion.<
John Freeman, the ambassador, was called in by Eduardo Zuain, the deputy foreign minister, at a time of heightened tensions between the two countries.
Argentina said that it summoned Mr Freeman "to demand explanations over the silence of the British government" over the espionage claims.
He also delivered a threat to prosecute oil companies working in waters off the Falklands and re-iterated Argentine complaints about British plans to boost defences on the islands.

Just the right fit: Laces of Love continues its mission of getting needy kids into new shoes
It wasn't a love of shoes, but rather a love of children and the desire to help those in need that brought almost 100 women together for the Fourth Annual Laces of Love Girlfriend Shoe Party on a recent Sunday afternoon.
"A lot of us are mothers and grandmothers and we know all about shoes and kids outgrowing shoes and it kind of touches our hearts," explained attendee Jan Carlson, a retired hospice worker.
One hundred and fifty pairs of new shoes and more than $4,200 were collected during the event, which was held at the home of Laces of Love President and co-founder Jeanne Nealon. The Girlfriend Shoe Party included a raffle and silent auction as well as emotional speeches by Nealon and others about the children whose lives have been touched by the gift of a brand new pair of shoes.
"It's a great event," said Abby Fuller, 29, a special education specialist at Mike Davis Elementary School. "The passion of the members and the Board of Directors is just overwhelming."
"I think it's a wonderful cause. And it's local," said Dena Landry, a school psychologist at Mike Davis and Manatee Elementary schools. "I've seen firsthand the living situations of these kids and the basic necessities that they don't have."
Laces of Love Charitable Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that provides new shoes to low income and disadvantaged children and educates the public about the needs of these children. Since it's incorporation in 2005, Laces of Love has provided more than 40,000 pairs of shoes to children in need throughout Collier and Lee counties.
Working primarily through the public school system, Laces of Love delivers shoes to a contact person, often a nurse, school counselor, principal or teacher, who fits children with the donated shoes in the privacy of the staff office. Laces of Love shoes are often the first pair of new shoes a child has ever had.
"We have kids that are wearing shoes two sizes too small and their poor little feet have toes pushing through the end and you can see each outline of their toe in the shoe," said Kate Hahn, 35, a school counselor at Highlands Elementary School. "To be able to put something on their feet that's new, quality, and not a hand-me-down, they love you for it and they're so excited."
Karen Theis, 48, a teacher at Spring Creek Elementary School in Bonita Springs, explained that having a new pair of shoes that fit properly gives children an added level of confidence that helps them excel in all areas of life. "The level of confidence they have, each time they take a step, not only does it make them look better, but it makes them feel better and more confident in their own personality and their schoolwork and sports."
Laces of Love delivers shoes to the elementary, middle and high schools a couple of times throughout the year and also responds to special requests for specific shoes and sizes. They also facilitate the donation of cleats and sports shoes to many student athletes.
"We try to be anonymous. We don't go in and take a bunch of pictures," explained Nealon, 52. Instead the group assembles brown grocery bags filled with shoes that have tags on them explaining the mission of Laces of Love and the fact that the shoes are free.
"A lot of the kids ask how much they owe me," said Aisa Gonzalez, 42, a migrant resource teacher at Immokalee Middle School who has been involved with Laces of Love for six years. "They're in shock when they find out (the shoes) are free."
A grassroots organization that often holds its meetings around a kitchen table, Laces of Love consists of an eight-person all-volunteer board that pays all their own expenses so every dollar collected can go directly toward shoes.
"No one gets paid on the staff," noted Nealon, who also works as a substitute teacher. "If someone writes a check for $100, 50 bucks, or $10, we'll go buy shoes."
Laces of Love receives most of its donations through shoe parties, like the one held Sunday. "If you're having a party that you would have had anyway, ask people to bring shoes," suggested Susan Warren, secretary and treasurer for Laces of Love.
That idea resonated with a lot of women.
Carlson, a longtime supporter of Laces of Love, said that last Mother's Day, she asked her children to contribute to Laces of Love instead buying her gifts. The idea went over so well, she's thinking of doing it again this year. "All my children contributed. It was a very easy thing to do."
And first-time attendee Fuller said she's now planning on asking everyone to bring shoes instead of presents to her upcoming 30th birthday party.
Warren can't estimate how many shoe parties are held each year for Laces of Love, but said the foundation is grateful for every pair of shoes it receives. "Even one pair of shoes is important to us." She also said that board members are always happy to go and speak to groups and share the mission of Laces of Love.

New Technology Helps Athletes Prevent Dehydration and Heat-Related Illness
WALTHAM, Mass., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ — With fall sports under way around the country, often in dangerously hot weather conditions, Mobile Sports, Inc. (MSI) today announced the official launch of iHydrate(TM), an innovative iPhone application giving athletes, parents of athletes, coaches, and athletic trainers the tools and information they need to avoid dehydration and other, more serious heat-related illnesses.
"One of the biggest challenges athletes continually face, not just in hot, humid weather, is consuming enough fluids before, during and after sports to maintain proper hydration," says Brooke de Lench, Youth Sports Expert and Editor-in-Chief of the popular youth sports parenting website, YouthSportsParents.com and CEO and President of MSI. "iHydrate(TM) is designed to address this important problem," says de Lench.
To help keep athletes of any age not only stay hydrated but avoid the catastrophic risks of heat-related illness or death, iHydrate(TM) is the first iPhone application to:
- provide the heat index–the apparent temperature on the basis of the current temperature and relative humidity at the user's current location;
- display the level of heat-illness risk under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) heat index;
- allow parents, coaches and athletic trainers to schedule hydration reminders for before, during and after sports; and
- help facilitate the replacement of fluids lost during sports based on urine color and/or amount of weight lost.
In addition to these tools, iHydrate(TM) includes a helpful reference section, including basic information on dehydration and heat-illness prevention, signs, symptoms and treatment, and the Pre-Season Heat-Acclimatization Guidelines recently issued by the American College of Sports Medicine and seven other medical groups.
Facts about children and heat-illness
- Exertional heat stroke is the leading cause of preventable non-traumatic exertional sudden death for young athletes in the U.S.
- Dehydration is common in kids playing sports: Of kids studied at summer sports camps more than 50% were dehydrated and 25 to 30% showed signs of serious dehydration, putting them at increased risk of heat-related illness. Dehydration occurred despite the availability of water and sports drinks, frequent breaks and coaches' encouragement to stay hydrated. Once children were dehydrated, it was nearly impossible for them to catch up.
- Dehydration can begin when an athlete loses as little as 1 percent of body weight. In a 70-pound child, that is less than 1 pound of weight lost through sweat;
- Dehydration effects performance: as little as a 2% decrease in body weight from fluid loss (e.g. 1.2 lb for a 60-lb athlete) can lead to a significant decrease in muscular strength and stamina.
"We developed iHydrate(TM) to make it much easier for parents, coaches and athletic trainers to keep kids properly hydrated and avoid dehydration and other more serious forms of heat illness," says de Lench, "by putting new technology – an application in their hands that not only informs them about the risk of heat-related illness in real time, but gives them the tools they need to ensure proper hydration and re-hydration."
"One of the reasons kids don't drink enough fluids before, during and after sports, is that they forget," notes de Lench. "Parents and coaches can use iHydrate(TM) to remind them to drink on a schedule, not just when they are thirsty."

Sitting on the large screened porch of the Bridle Spur and watching the river flow by is like putting a pause button on life. This is the perfect setting for reading a book, enjoying nature, catching a nap, or eating a scrumptious breakfast. In miles it's close to civilization, but in character it's a world away! Thanks, Nancy, for sharing your retreat--can't wait to return!

Our family stayed at the Bridle Spur Bed and Breakfast July 31 through August 2, 2009 for our family reunion. 4 families were lucky enough to spend time with Nancy at her beautiful house. Nancy is the ultimate hostess and made us all feel that we were part of her extended family not just guests. The guest rooms and common areas are just beautiful and the breakfast that she served each morning was outstanding. Would recommend this little piece of heaven to all looking for a charming place to stay in Michigan.

My family has enjoyed staying at the Bridle Spur B&B for two years, and we plan to continue enjoying the hospitality of Nancy Conard for many years to come. We gather at Bridle Spur to kickoff our Notre Dame weekend, and since discovering this wonderful B&B, our pleasure with our weekend is now complete. I would recommend this to singles, couples, or families looking for a friendly place to stay. Be certain to enjoy the views of the river in the early morning while feasting on Nancy's breakfast!

The quiet and understated elegance of this B&B is matched only by the spirit of the hostess, whose unintrusive attention to the details and comfort of our stay made it a relaxed joy. The accomodations are lovely, the view wonderful, and the spirit as good as it gets. Definitely plan to stay again. Thanks!

Briday Spur had everything we wanted and more. The view of the river over an excellent breakfast was spectacular and the hostess inviting and attentive to our needs. I highly recommend this B&B to everyone.

Europe's highest court ruled today that the 1999 Montreal Convention limits the compensation airlines must pay for lost or damaged baggage. A passenger lawsuit had sought effectively to double the limits by claiming both material and immaterial damage, a claim rejected by the court, which said stricter limits help to establish an "equitable balance of interest" between airlines and passengers.

(28 Aug. 2010) --- Maseru, Lesotho is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 24 crew member on the International Space Station. Maseru is the capital city of the Kingdom of Lesotho and is located along the northwestern border of the country with the Republic of South Africa. The footprint of the urban area, recognizable by street grids and distinctive blue-roofed industrial buildings at center, is only just visible against the surrounding landscape. The city has expanded eightfold (to 230,000 today) since independence from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1966, and is now home to one in five inhabitants in the country. The Caledon (or Mohokare) River flows adjacent to Maseru and forms a part of the border between Lesotho and South Africa. Locally, the border extends from approximately top center left to bottom center right, with the cities of Ladybrand and Manyatseng located in South Africa. Moshoeshoe I International Airport (left) provides access to the capital. Major industries in the city include flour mills, and footwear and textile companies. Tourism is also a growing part of the local economy. The Kingdom of Lesotho is completely landlocked by the surrounding Republic of South Africa. Major landforms visible in the image near Maseru include the Qeme and Berea Plateaus to the south and east respectively; these are erosional remnants of widespread horizontally layered sedimentary rocks that formed in the Karoo Basin during the Upper Triassic Period (approximately 200--229 million years ago), according to scientists.

231.946.8975Harbor Springs
Foster/ Adoptive Parenting
a 21-hour intensive course in 4 days,
required for foster home licensing in MI
Call Beth or Terri at 231 946 8975 for more information or to register
Many children in Northern Michigan need temporary safe havens or permanent homes due to abuse and/or neglect. Foster care helps to provide that safe haven. Children include boys and girls ages 0-17, sibling groups, racial and ethnic minorities, and children with physical, mental, or emotional challenges. Being a foster or adoptive parent requires a natural love of children, an ability to set guidelines, provide direction, and work with the Child and Family Services' staff as part of a treatment team. Stamina, a healthy attitude, and special skills (which we will help you obtain) are all important requirements of foster and adoptive parenting. In addition, we offer free ongoing training, referrals, education, support groups, and mentoring to make foster care and adoption the most beneficial to the children and families we serve.
"It's been so great for our biological daughter. It's helped her understand that some people are less fortunate, and that in some small way, we can help–no 'crusade'– just sharing our pot of food with a kid who needs a place to stay."
~Abby G, foster mom
Foster and special needs adoptive parents come in all shapes and sizes–just like the children they care for. Parents may be married or single; they may be childless or have kids living at home. Still others have already raised their own children to adulthood, but feel the desire to continue parenting. Some are parenting their relatives children–neices, nephews, or grandchildren. Foster and adoptive parents are your neighbors, co-workers, and church members.
Could YOU be a foster or adoptive parent?
Couples and single adults over the age of 18 years old with both good character and a safe and stable home are eligible to become foster or adoptive parents. Prospective foster/adoptive parents are carefully screened, and come from all walks of life. They may rent or own their own homes. They may devote their time to caring for their children, or work at home, or work outside the home.
Foster parents receive reimbursement to help them with the expense of caring for children they may currently have in their care. All health care costs for children in foster care are paid for by the State of Michigan. Adoptive families also receive reimbursements for children who are adopted over the age of three.
Orientation meetings for prospective foster/adoptive parents
All your questions about how you can become
licensed to foster/adopt answered
Crisis and planned respite (very short-term care) opportunities available, too.
First Thursday of the month noon – 2 pm
(no meetings in July)

Fla. officer killed in single-vehicle crash
Officer Joseph "Shane" Robbins was unresponsive when a medical crew found his cruiser off the road
By PoliceOne Staff
BARTOW, Fla. — A Polk County Sheriff's deputy died of injuries following a single-vehicle accident Friday morning.
Officer Joseph "Shane" Robbins, 40, was unresponsive when emergency workers arrived on the scene and spotted his cruiser off the road. The cause of the accident is still under investigation, according to the News Chief.
Robbins, a 15-year veteran of the Sheriff's Office, was a master deputy who had previously served as a special victims unit detective and homicide detective. He'd received 14 commendations and 187 recognitions in his career, according to the article.
"Shane served his community with dedication and pride," PSCO spokesperson Carrie Eleazer told the Orlando Sentinel. "His care and concern for others was as much a part of his daily duties as enforcing the law."

Tree, as a construction material, is abundantly available. It has been used as wood flooring and more so in early history. Its inherent beauty made home interiors look a lot more attractive. Normally, almost any type of timber can be employed in this craft but surprisingly a member of the grass family, bamboo, is also considered a well-liked resource especially in tropical areas.
A tree has many qualities that are ideal for building houses. With the advancements in technology, lumber companies have researched ways to improve the material. They have devised processing means that improved the quality and multiplied the uses for the material. Nowadays, there are countless ways to use it and certainly more varieties to choose from. They have it in more colors and shapes than before.
There are two categories for wood. The first type is solid wood. As its name implies, it is made of one hard chunk of wood. This is very durable and can last several decades if taken cared of properly. The lumber can be sanded numerous times because of its depth. With that attribute, you can smooth it out as many times as you like until you achieve the glossy shine you like.
The other category is called engineered wood. This type has undergone processing. It is commonly known as plywood and is made up of multiple layers. Each veneer is assembled in such a way that is going the opposite direction of the preceding level. This design allows it to be stable. The more layers there are, the higher its price is. This can also be sanded but not in the same way as solid wood.
There are many reasons for the success of engineered wooden materials. They are built to last, making them cost effective. Perfect examples are ancestral homes which were built several decades ago or maybe even centuries ago. It is safe to say they have outlived their builders and that is what you want in an investment. In real estate, houses with solid wood floors are actually appraised higher.
If you have versatility in mind then this is the right thing for you. Because of so many types of trees available, you can find the specific color and shade you are looking for. Measurement is not a problem as any electric or manual saw can get it to your desired shape. Installation can be done with a nail, screw or glue.
For environmentalists, this is an excellent material as it is eco-friendly. Sustainable supply is guaranteed as trees need only a little over twenty to forty years to mature. By the time you would think of renovating, there will be ample new supplies as the ones you have now will last longer than that. In addition, manufacturers comply with strict government environmental codes.
Based on research, homes with wooden floor have enhanced air quality. With all those ideas, you can see why wood flooring is the better alternative. There are still more advantages to discuss. All features are to your advantage and your grandchildren's children will live to appreciate it.

Your story about Mike Tyson reads like a tragedy (PEOPLE, Sept. 26). It appears this hulking man-child is destined for a prison cell, an early grave or both. Let's hope he doesn't drag Robin Givens along with him. Even she doesn't deserve that.
Mike Barnhill
Orlando, Fla.
It's a shame Mike Tyson and Robin Givens don't live in Connecticut. The new domestic violence law exempts no one, not even the heavyweight champion of the world.
Kathleen B. Gooley
Darien, Conn.
Robin, dump the bastard! Women everywhere unable to afford legal counsel have had to tolerate this type of infantile behavior for years. You don't. You're the best thing that ever happened to the jerk. Continue, and you'll need the shrink or the mortician.
Beverly Hussain
Ms. Tiny Miss
There are definitely winners and losers in this refined form of child abuse. The winners are the sponsors who reap the dollars from this travesty. The runners-up are the mothers who sacrifice their daughters' childhoods for their own vanity, vicariously basking in their daughters' successes. The only losers are the little girls, who are taught during their fragile, formative years to judge their self-worth by fleeting, superficial and ultimately damaging standards.
Kelly Reinboldt Craw
Harrisburg, Pa.
Too bad first prize for the pageant winner wasn't a new mother with a better perception of what childhood is all about.
Danielle Aliotti
Monterey, Calif.
Having once been a beauty contestant, I believe that if you want a pet who can win a ribbon, get a pedigreed cat or dog from a reliable breeder.
Toby Sue Shaw
Rancho Mirage, Calif.
Bob & Joan Parker
My husband of 38 years and I can certainly relate to Bob and Joan Parker's story. When our youngest of four children left the nest, my husband, Paul, moved to his third-floor apartment in our building. The first floor houses our business, and I live on the second floor. We, too, love our autonomy and intimacy, and besides that, I got his closet.
Leonore O'Malley
Natchez, Miss.
If your article about cult leader John-Roger is accurate, we Americans are like a herd of lost sheep. Sadly, we grasp blindly at the first "shepherd" who comes to lead us to greener pastures. If this man is truly a divine spirit with the ability to guide people to God, why do his disciples need to shell out $775 per ticket for the ride?
Kathleen E. Lotz
Quincy, Ill.
So many people have benefited from the common sense and guidance they have received from John-Roger that I wish your reporters had been more investigative and thorough. I have personally experienced John-Roger's integrity and guidance. There's far more good in this man than was misrepresented in PEOPLE.

32 x 64 bit. Think about this....

I've spent a week looking at computers with W7
Most systems for home use have 64 bit W7 installed and, as you have no doubt seen from a trawl through this forum, this can cause difficulty with drivers and software
However, looking at business computers and workstations, it seems that many still use 32 bit
Am I wrong in thinking that 32 bit is still the way to go if you want business type efficiency with worry free operation?
I've eventually ordered a 32 bit business system on the basis that 64 bit is still, perhaps, a step too far

the leak about 128bit was exposed as a hoax ,microsoft have no intention of working on such a system now or in the forseeable future.
I have both Vista and Windows 7 in both 32 and 64bit .and although I am embracing 64bit as it makes progress there are very few programs out there so far that actually take full addvantage of the abilities of 64bit . I have quite a few proggies that are stated as 64bit compatable ,but in actual fact they work in 32bit mode in effect and are not capable of utilizing the available memory . photoshop CS4 supports 64bit . but I use it in both systems and there is not that much of a difference .
the good news is that at last PCs are leaving dealers in 64bit en-masse . and it looks like software writers are at long last looking to reap the benefits of 64bit and the huge amounts of memory that it can use .
Many PC users are not that computer savvy ,and are not particularly obsessed about power and speed .as long as they can do all the things they are used to doing .these are the users that would be heavily dissapointed when they buy a new PC in 64bit only to find that a fair few of their favorite softwares wont even install (let alone run)
personally I am all for 64bit .bring it on ,the sooner the better , but as long as software makers are dragging their feet with drivers and software that fully support it , most users wont benefit from the step up .

how many of you 64 bit users have more than 4g of RAM and how much.
Likes # 0
Posted December 25, 2009 at 8:23AM
I just have 4GB at the moment because programs just don't demand much more, but the option is open to install more if/when needed.
When they say 64-bit compatible I believe they mean that the program will work on 64-bit architecture, not that it's designed to utilise it, my reading of it is that the program won't crash with 64-bit. Very few programs at the moment are actually designed for it.

Posted December 26, 2009 at 3:38PM
nope ,but more can be done via multitasking etc, hard drives are the weak point and have been for some time ,have run dual hyperdrive (ramdrives) raided (0)that makes a huge difference everything happens just about instantly even working huge files in photoshop is so fast its scary ,but at a huge cost as RAM is going up in price again .
look up hyperdrive 5 if your interested ,but it works out darn expensive . even the best (fastest) hard drives around wont keep up with a couple of hyperdrives raided.
SSDs are getting more reliable and maybe in the next year or two will become cheap enough to most users .but whatever the storage methods used ,any speed problems wont be with RAM or processor ability .
more RAM will only be beneficial if you work a lot with large files and RAM hungry programs DVD editing etc , graphic hungry games.
for most everyday tasks ,4gb is more than enough ,and that should cope with several tasks at the same time with out problems .
I do a fair bit of PC biulding and allways have lots of RAM lying about ,I can allways use it up in biulding PCs ,I would never normally use anything over 8 gb ,its overkill .
the 16gb ddr3 system I spoke of was just experamental and has 8 OSs installed , as a test bed for various softwares .

as a matter of fact
32bit Operating System cannot exceed system memory(RAM)beyond 4 GB
hence all the triple channel mode supported by the Core i7's will not be fully utilised (unless ofcourse u r using a 1GB x 3 config)

I started this thread at the end of October when I was needing to buy a new laptop for my daughter at college as well as considering buying (building?) a new desktop for myself
In the two months that have followed, it may help others to have my view on what I have bought
First, Windows 7 is the easiest and most robust operating system I've come across. And I've been through 3.1 , Me, XP (but not Vista!!)
Windows 7 floats my boat, and no one has got me to say that!
Secondly, while I know 64 bit will be the code of the future, I just cannot see why I need to go there just yet. When I buy 32 bit systems and stuff, it just works. From what others say 64 bit is still an experimental zone, demanding all sorts of "authorisations" etc
I've bought a Dell business vostro W7 32 bit and an Acer laptop W7 in the last 2 months. Both are 32 bit, both work, out of the box without a hitch. I'm highly delighted with both and neither are "Mr Slow"
I'm just still puzzled as to why consumer machines are all 64 bit even allowing for F.E's explanation

Dark Souls
Complete Pyromancy Thread. Please verify or come learn!
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
- Page 1 of 2
- Last
Ive seen a bunch of threads with various questions on pyromancy.
From what I know, you need a pyromancer glove to cast them, which you get from saving the pyromancer in the sewers, after you kill the Capra demon.
Spells do NOT scale with Int, only the melee damage of the equipped glove.
Spells scale with the level of your glove. A +15 glove does more than a +5, for instance. At +15, the pyro trainer in the swamp can upgrade it farther.
I have heard some things about pyromancers not leveling INT much at all. As a pyro, you will likely only invest levels in attunement slots outside of a regular build.
If anything here is incorrect or missing, please say something in the comments so we can have a go-to guide for pyros!
Pyromancy damage does NOT scale with intelligence. Pyro damage is determined by the level of your pyro glove, and the amount of humanity you have, from what I've read.
The only thing that scales with INT where pyro is concerned is the melee attack of the glove. Which is worthless.
so you're telling me since I have this glove I can wreck s*** even as a pure END / STR warrior?
psn scroteluvr
currently playing: Dark Souls
Yes. I have the base intelligence, and my chaos fireball spell does 400+ damage per cast. It's magic for the guy who doesn't want to invest in intelligence.
Thanks Atrabilious. I am going to edit the above post as people fill in the gaps in the info. That being said, even if a character has a focus on being a pyro, the stats will not reflect that, except for perhaps the spell memory? Is that correct?
Diamond F/C: 3782 1337 7118
Is firestorm any good? should i save 30k souls for it?
So for the pyromancer class: better to just pump souls into VIT and END in the early game?
Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion; you must set yourself on fire.
I love the whole "attuned with nature" theme that goes with it. Goes well with my Ranger build.
"We have 55 characters, I'd really like an even number."
"**** it, just put Wolverine in again and see if they notice."
I've put three points into attunement to open up some slots. I have Heal/Chaos Fireball atm, though I could change that around for other pyro spells if I so liked.
Not quite true:
Indeed Pyromancy is for people who don't want to pump INT,
That being said, spell damage can be RAISED by upgrading your glove.
I upgraded my Pyro hand to +15. Once your glove hits +15 you can go down to the swamp and talk to the pyro trainer (Quelana) to upgrade it to a more powerful form. It's still called "Pyromancer Flame" but the icon is different, the description is different, the +15 is gone, and you can now upgrade the new Quelana Pyro Flame to +5 for between 25,000~40,000 souls per upgrade.
BEFORE I upgraded I tested Great Fireball with the +15 flame and did 642 damage per cast on mosquitos.
After I upgraded to the Quelana flame I did 652 per cast on mosquitos.
Unfortunately, I didn't test going from +1~+15. So I only know that going from the regular flame to the quelana flame does boost damage. My quelana flame isn't upgraded yet, but I'll test that tomorrow.
Don't know if you can run a computer game? http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/

This refers to the news that Mont Blanc has decided to come out with a limited series pen on Gandhiji, the prices of which range from Rs.1.5 lakh to Rs.14 lakh. Is it not ironical to remember one who lived like the poorest of the poor by issuing a pen that only the richest of the rich can buy?
If Mont Blanc wants to pay homage to the Mahatma, it should contribute the sale proceeds towards providing roads, drinking water, electricity, sanitation and schools to 241 villages in India. And if the company wants to spread the message of Gandhiji, it should bring out an inexpensive, unlimited edition of pens with his face and message and offer it free to every child the world over.
Sujatha Vijayaraghavan,
I am reminded of the 'Ratnam' pen which was launched in Rajamundhry in the 1930s in response to the call given by Gandhiji to boycott foreign goods. K.V. Ratnam, who was in the gold business, was a great follower of Gandhiji. He was also engaged in the manufacture of lithogrophic blocks. In 1921, the Mahatma advised him to manufacture goods that were a good substitute to foreign products. When the call for the boycott of foreign goods intensified, Ratnam decided to manufacture nibs which were a foreign monopoly. He first made a golden nib and presented it to a sub-judge. In 1932, Nyapati Subbarao Pantulu ordered the first Ratnam pen. The nib was made of silver. Ratnam made a pen in ebonite material and sent it to Gandhiji. The Mahatma wrote from Wardha thanking him.
B.M.N. Murthy,
Keywords: Mahatma Gandhi, Mont Blanc, pen
