Date::FromToday - Calculate the date in the past or future X days from today
Version 0.05
Date::FromToday is a Perl module for calculating a date in the past or future X number of days from today.
It allows for custom formatting of the date string with month/day/year placement,
leading zeros,
month translation,
forcing today's date,
number of digits in the year.
use Date::FromToday; my $date = Date::FromToday->new( move => -1 ); # prints yesterdays date in MM_DD_YYYY print $date->date_string;
my $date = Date::FromToday->new( move => -1, month_translator => [ qw( Jan Feb Mar Apr May June July Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec ), ], date_string_format => '{M}.{D}.{Y}', leading_zeros => 0, year_digits => 2, ); # prints yesterday's date looking like Jan.1.11 print $date->date_string;
Creates and returns Date::FromToday object.
my $date = Date::FromToday->new( move => -1 );
Here are the parms for Date::FromToday
move => $days_to_add_or_subtract
Adds or subtracts days to the current date. Negative numbers move back in time, positive move into future. Required.
date_string_format => {M}_{D}_{Y}
Decides on how to format the date_string method. M will be replaced by the Month, D with the Day, and Y with the Year. The delimiter is also configureable, M*D^Y = 12*31^2021
leading_zeros => [0|1]
Determines if leading zeros will be added. Default = 1 which means it will be done.
month_translator => $month_names_list_ref
Determines how the month will be displayed: month_translator => [ qw( Jan Feb Mar Apr May June July Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec ), ],
force_today => MM_DD_YYYY
You can also force the current date. Must be in MM_DD_YYYY format.
year_digits => [1|2|3|4]
Specifies the number of digits in the year: 4 ~ 1895 3 ~ 895 2 ~ 95 1 ~ 5
Returns the calculated day, either numeric or translated from
Returns the calculated month
Returns the calculated year
Returns the date in a string as specified by the 'date_sting_format' param.

Buying new boats in this economic environment?

One of the main reasons to buy new is that when things break (and they do, believe me), someone else fixes them. That may not be the case in the current environment.
You find that most dealers handle the warranty claims and many dealers may not be around if things don't change soon. Of course, the warranty goes through the manufacturer, but even they may struggle to get their parts from other companies if they are going broke. Remember, a sailboat is 99% other peoples products. And why buy new if you have to turn around and put it on yourself?? You will find that a new boat WILL have problems... period. Many of these things seem to want to break in the first 90 days if they are going to fail.
The other benefit of buying new is that you know what has been done to your boat, and what has not. Assuming what you get is as good of a product as the boat before it, that should be fine. However, I doubt any of us know what to expect to be coming out of these companies anymore.
I bet you would be fine with a beneteau or a Catalina. They probably have enough resources and finances to see through these things longer than most. More specialty builders may have more of a problem as their customer base (and likely total income) is less. As far as the Hinkleys/Swan's of the world... I have always wondered if they would even know there is a bad economy. I honestly do not know.
The used market is actually doing pretty well right now. I know several Catalinas and apparently Bene's are holding or increasing their value right now. Depends on the models, I guess.
My theory on boats and te future... it is worth what you are about to pay for it:
I believe this year and next will see massive failures of boat companies, suppliers, third party manufacturers and others. I think a massive percentage of the dealers will go out of business. I think more now than ever, those companies that survive will directly market their boats to control their own costs.
I suspect that in 12 months you will see massvie numbers of boats on the market that were repo'd by the banks. THe banks will offer to sell them for cut rate prices and will offer them for LESS than they have in them... maybe much less. However, I believe that many of these boats will be severly neglected and serious need of maintenance. I mean come on, if you are going to let your boat go to repo, you certainly are not going to be changing the oil every 100 hours!! SO I believe it will be "Buyer Beware" on these boats.
I believe that many of the best boats will be the used boats that are directly sold by the seller or maybe broker. They will cost more than the repo'd boats of the banks, but in much better shape. They will cost a bit less than the new boats coming off the line directly from the manufacturers, but they will be better made and in the long run a better value. I think these boats will be harder to find but will see it through the economic crisis and beyond.
Those are my thoughts. But then again, I thought the Cowboys would go to the Superbowl, so my predictions have not been great lately!!!

Proton Energy Systems Achieves Breakthrough in High Pressure Hydrogen Technology
PEM electrolysis efficiency and durability takes leap forward
Proton is the world's leading supplier of onsite hydrogen generators utilizing PEM technology, which creates high purity hydrogen from de-mineralized water and electricity. Proton's PEM electrolysis systems are utilized across a variety of industries, including power, military and aerospace and laboratories. And, with this latest advancement, the company continues to lead the market in hydrogen innovation.
"We are thrilled to announce this technological milestone in PEM technology, which has a variety of significant implications, including better efficiency, cost reduction potential and system simplification," said
Proton has successfully developed and deployed these high pressure systems to strategic partners both domestically and internationally for evaluation, one of which has been testing successfully for more than a year. With the ability to increase durability, reliability and efficiency, this breakthrough has major potential across industries — including power, military, aerospace, homeland security, and other sectors that require or could benefit from high pressure hydrogen.
The 2,400 psi milestone was achieved while at the same time also increasing the hydrogen production by a factor of four from previous high pressure hydrogen generation systems. The 2,400 psi advancement is also in line with Proton's ultimate goal of generating hydrogen at 5,000 psi, without external mechanical compression and with the same reliability and durability.
Proton Energy has also announced a second technological breakthrough that has major efficiency and cost savings implications. Proton has worked to achieve a 20 percent improvement in efficiency of its commercial PEM platform. At the same time, additional efforts aimed at cost reduction of the cell stack membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) have netted almost a 30 percent savings in material cost. This is significant because the MEA represents the single highest cost component within the electrochemical stack.
Proton Energy Systems is a global leader in hydrogen technology, and its commitment to innovation has been recognized repeatedly during the past several months with several military projects, including a

Twenty years ago, Wallace left a successful corporate career to become a pilot and writer. Since then, she's climbed mountains in
Wallace argues that adventure–even the involuntary adventure of job loss, layoffs, or uncertain times–offers unique opportunities and gifts. She believes adventure can get us on a more fulfilling life track, rekindle our dreams and energy, and teach us valuable lessons about ourselves and life. What looks like a bad turn of events can actually be the start of a hero's journey that can give us the strength of a hero and teach us how to find our own way home, wizard or no wizard. As Wallace puts it, "Once you've climbed a mountain, no hill will ever seem so tall again."
"Surviving Uncertainty: Taking a Hero's Journey" explores the possibilities uncertainty holds, and argues that getting launched onto a modern-day hero's journey, while not entirely comfortable, might just be the best thing that ever happened to you.

The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
If they sign Votto long term, will they have enough to pay the electric bill for the stadium?
Looks like they're going to have to switch from 2 ply to single ply for the bathrooms next year.
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
In my opinion, the Reds should sign Votto to a back-loaded deal with some team options as soon as he is willing to sign a deal they think they can afford. Longoria's deal is a good place to start. Although it may be a little high for Votto, the idea is good. Small market teams have to identify some players they don't mind paying if they are going to be contenders.
The longer they wait, the less risk they are removing from Votto's shoulders, so the price will go up. If they want to wait until mid-season this year to feel better about the mental aspect, that is fine.
Win some, lose some, some get rained out.
The Longoria deal is pretty extreme, nobody who's had 2 years of success already would sign that, I don't think. You might want to look at Pedroia's deal, probably a more realistic starting point, 6 years, $40.5M, team option for a 7th at $11M with a $500K buyout. First year after signing at $1.5m, last year before the option at $10M.

29 CFR 1926.954 - Grounding for protection of employees.
(a) General. All conductors and equipment shall be treated as energized until tested or otherwise determined to be deenergized or until grounded.
(b) New construction. New lines or equipment may be considered deenergized and worked as such where:
(2) The hazard of induced voltages is not present, and adequate clearances or other means are implemented to prevent contact with energized lines or equipment and the new lines or equipment.
(c) Communication conductors. Bare wire communication conductors on power poles or structures shall be treated as energized lines unless protected by insulating materials.
(d) Voltage testing. Deenergized conductors and equipment which are to be grounded shall be tested for voltage. Results of this voltage test shall determine the subsequent procedures as required in § 1926.950(d).
(1) When attaching grounds, the ground end shall be attached first, and the other end shall be attached and removed by means of insulated tools or other suitable devices.
(2) When removing grounds, the grounding device shall first be removed fromt the line or equipment using insulating tools or other suitable devices.
(f) Grounds shall be placed between work location and all sources of energy and as close as practicable to the work location, or grounds shall be placed at the work location. If work is to be performed at more than one location in a line section, the line section must be grounded and short circuited at one location in the line section and the conductor to be worked on shall be grounded at each work location. The minimum distance shown in Table V-1 shall be maintained from ungrounded conductors at the work location. Where the making of a ground is impracticable, or the conditions resulting therefrom would be more hazardous than working on the lines or equipment without grounding, the grounds may be omitted and the line or equipment worked as energized.
(g) Testing without grounds. Grounds may be temporarily removed only when necessary for test purposes and extreme caution shall be exercised during the test procedures.
(h) Grounding electrode. When grounding electrodes are utilized, such electrodes shall have a resistance to ground low enough to remove the danger of harm to personnel or permit prompt operation of protective devices.
(i) Grounding to tower. Grounding to tower shall be made with a tower clamp capable of conducting the anticipated fault current.

According to what has been revealed so far, the gun was brought here, legally, just as any other weapon or war trophy that was captured, and was made legal by the US Government.
No. According to what has been revealed so far, the provenance is unknown.
From the OP's article...
Gasior said he bought the rifle legally in 1993 from another collector, paying $9,500 for what he considered "probably the best piece of my personal collection."
The case is not one that will be easily decided.
Gasior, himself a sort-of Polish firearms expert, said his research shows the weapon was most likely issued to Polish soldiers during World War II, then taken by Germans.
In short, Gasior can't vouch for the weapon being what you consider to be a legal spoil of war. So your repeated claims that this is somehow made legal are not substantiated. Gasior as a nicely fabricated scenario with no documentation.

Texas Select Vapor stocks the highest quality vaping equipment and supplies. If you're unable to find something that you feel we should stock, please let us know and we will happily consider your request.
If you like peaches, well... This flavor is definitely one of the best flavors that we offer, great for vaping any time of the year! This flavor has been a long time in the making. Finding a great peach flavor has always been a struggle, look no further, this one is a winner! The peach flavor that you experience with this liquid is nothing like what you are used to with other brands, no artificial taste, no candy taste, just pure authentic juicy peach is all you'll experience from this e-liquid flavor!
Contents: USP / Kosher Propylene Glycol, USP / Kosher Glycerin, Natural and / or Artificial Flavoring(s), L-Nicotine (if ordered with nicotine).
Eliquid Blend Ratio: 70/30 PG/VG
Additional Ingredients: N/A
*Some eliquids may contain these additional ingredients if it is not possible for our lab to source an equivalent flavoring that does not contain these ingredients. We feel it is our responsibility to disclose these ingredients publically as a standard of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). All information is provided on an as-is basis.
The best e-liquid starts with the best ingredients and the highest level of manufacturing standards. This is why we are proud to be a certified member of the American E-Liquid Manufacturing Standards Association. All of our USA E-juice that are marked with the AEMSA logo are fully compliant with the manufacturing standards found at www.AEMSA.org and are readily available for public viewing. We encourage you to view the AEMSA Standards to see the type of quality control and good manufacturing practices that go into the products that we offer.
For more information about the American E-Liquid Manufacturing Standards Association visit www.AEMSA.org
With our innovative NicTrace™ system, you can search your e-liquid lot number to see documentation for the nicotine and base ingredients used in making your e-juice. For more information and to search your e-juice's lot / batch number, head over to our NicTrace™ page.
California Proposition 65: This product may contain nicotine, a chemical known by the State of California to cause birth defects or reproductive harm. Nicotine is addictive and toxic if swallowed. Use at own risk.
Allergen Statement: This product may contain allergens due to flavorings used during production. Use at your own risk.
E-liquid is not an item that is covered by any type of warranty. The reason for this is that we cannot guarantee the performance, taste, or how the end user will perceive the e-liquids purchased. The exception to this is if you receive a bottle from us that leaked during transit, punctured bottle, broken cap, or is not properly labeled. In the event that one of the previous situation(s) apply to you, please contact us so that we can resolve the issue for you. We want you to be happy with your purchase, however, it is very uncommon to warranty e-liquid products by any manufacturer due to the nature of these products.
Before making a claim that a bottle is not filled all the way, please reference the picture for the liquid you are purchasing to compare levels to that of which your bottle contains. 5ml sampler packs do appear to be only partially filled, this is because the bottles are not actually 5ml bottles, they are 8ml bottles. Same principal applies to the 10ml bottles that we offer. The 10ml bottles that we use in manufacturing are actually 12ml bottles which are filled just shy of full to allow the end user to have room to shake the liquid prior to use. We hope that you trust our measurements, as we are an AEMSA Certified Member. All of our laboratory technicians are trained extensively in liquid measurement and equipment calibration to NIST / ASTM specifications prior to working in the lab. We use precision instrumentation in all of our applications that is calibrated on a regular basis.
Like previously stated, we cannot guarantee that any liquid will taste perfect to you. While we strive to formulate e-liquids that are perfect for every user, we simply cannot guarantee it. The taste receptors on your tongue are a very complex olfactory organ. We beta test our liquids thoroughly prior to releasing them for retail sale. For this reason, we cannot accept any return or warranty claim involving e-liquid products.
The Story Behind Our E-Liquid
We manufacture a very specialized line of USA E-Liquid that has been custom formulated to work flawlessly with your personal vaporizer. We source all of our ingredients from within the USA and pay very close attention to even the smallest details when choosing them. We care about our customers to the fullest extent and refuse to sell our customers any product that we wouldn't use ourselves. Our usa e-liquid is mixed with the highest level of accuracy using ASTM or NIST traceable measurement equipment to ensure both quality and consistency with our e-juices.
Texas Select Vapor is also a certified member of the American E-Liquid Manufacturing Standards Association (AEMSA). Being a certified member of this association means more than just having a seal, it means a commitment to our customers and consumers nationwide. By following AEMSA standards, our manufacturing process follows strict guidelines for e-liquid manufacturing and focuses on many practices consistent with cGMP.
We feel that choosing USA e-liquid from the numerous vendors that are online can be a tricky process to say the least. The majority of our USA E-Liquid flavors are mixed in a base of 70% Propylene Glycol (USP) and 30% Glycerin (USP) to provide the best of both worlds in e-liquid wicking and vapor production. We also offer the ability to customize your e-liquid with us. If you feel that you have tried a flavor in the past that wasn't quite strong enough, no problem, you can add a flavor boost to help the flavor better come through and appeal more to your taste buds. E-Liquid or E-Juice flavors can be quite subjective and while we cannot guarantee that you will absolutely love a flavor the first time you try it, we can promise you that the highest level of accuracy and thought has been put into each and every e-liquid flavor that we offer.×

Beneteau first 285... what did I miss?
A friend had a 28.5. It was a reasonable weekend cruiser for 2, but sailed like a DOG. He complained continously as to weather helm, and the fact that he was easily overpowered. In addition, he had a cast iron keel with paint peeling off, and repeated seam cracks.
He NEVER finished in the hunt on the race course, and eventually even the sailmaker was reluctant to take his $$ for new sails.He sold his several years ago and it was priced in the 30,000 area. $50,000 is absurd . There are far better and more seaworthy boats out there for this amount of money.

Wu Tang Clan ft. Erykah Badu - The Heart Gently Weaps
Artist: Wu Tang Clan
Producer: RZA
Album: 8 Diagrams
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 30 votes )
As if the Wu Tang Clan hadn't made enough hip hop history in their storied career, the first single from their new album, 8 Diagrams, hits yet another milestone (more so music in general). The Heart Gently Weeps interpolate the Beatles' White Album classic (where the guitar is doing the weeping). Accompanied by RZA's smooth guitar production and Erykah Badu's hauntingly beautiful chorus; Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and Method Man demonstrate that while the hood life can easily make one's heart weep, eventually you have to rebound and get back to business. Dhani Harrison (George's son) helped supervise The Heart Gently Weeps and judging from its quality, George is looking down, listening and very proud of how his work was arranged.

On May 21, 2008, President George W. Bush signed the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 ("GINA") into law. As many know, advances in medical technology have made it possible to perform genetic tests to determine if an individual may be at risk of developing a disease or a disorder due to their genetic makeup. GINA was passed in order to prevent the potential misuse of such genetic information by prohibiting employers or health insurance companies from discriminating against individuals based on their genetic information.
On November 9, 2010, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") issued its final regulations interpreting the employment provisions of GINA. GINA generally prohibits an employer, employment agency, labor organization, or training program from discriminating against an individual because of genetic information. GINA, however, goes beyond simply outlawing discrimination and makes it illegal for an employer, employment agency, labor organization, or training program, with several minor exceptions, to "request, require, or purchase genetic information."

Emphasizing compassion in nursing orientation leads to fewer pressure ulcers, falls
MAYWOOD, Ill. (July 22, 2014) – Nursing orientation programs that address both the compassionate and scientific aspects of patient care help to improve patient satisfaction scores and reduce the incidence of falls and pressure ulcers, according to data published in the Journal for Nurses in Professional Development.
"Nursing orientation typically focuses on hospital-specific policies, equipment use and clinical skills rather than on the emotional connection between nurses and patients," said Pam Clementi, PhD, RN-BC, co-author and nurse manager, Department of Nursing Education, Loyola University Health System. "Educating nurses on both the nurturing and technical side of the profession will give them a more comprehensive approach to patient care."
The Institute of Medicine reported in 2011 that nurses need to provide holistic, patient-centered care that goes beyond the physical health needs to recognize and respond to the social, mental and spiritual needs of patients and their families.
Loyola University Health System recognized this need and implemented a patient-centered model of care in new units of its hospital. The organization added a one-day training program to the general nursing orientation to address the new model and the compassionate side of nursing. The program educated nurses about communication, attentive body language, honesty, listening skills, empathy, concern and respect for patients.
After one year of practicing the patient-centered model of care, quality improvement data demonstrated that patient satisfaction scores were much higher and the incidence of falls and pressure ulcers were much lower in units that used the new model. The training was expanded to all Loyola inpatient nurses as a result.
The notion that nursing practice encompasses both compassion and clinical skills dates back to Florence Nightingale, who demonstrated that nurses who practiced infection control measures could improve mortality rates and the well-being of hospitalized soldiers when the nurse was emotionally present.
"Nurses are at the front lines of patient care," Dr. Clementi said. "Those who have strong clinical skills and who know how to be there for patients in a time of need are invaluable to their profession."
Loyola University Health System (LUHS) is a member of Trinity Health. Based in the western suburbs of Chicago, LUHS is a quaternary care system with a 61-acre main medical center campus, the 36-acre Gottlieb Memorial Hospital campus and more than 30 primary and specialty care facilities in Cook, Will and DuPage counties. The medical center campus is conveniently located in Maywood, 13 miles west of the Chicago Loop and 8 miles east of Oak Brook, Ill. The heart of the medical center campus is a 559-licensed-bed hospital that houses a Level 1 Trauma Center, a Burn Center and the Ronald McDonald® Children's Hospital of Loyola University Medical Center. Also on campus are the Cardinal Bernardin Cancer Center, Loyola Outpatient Center, Center for Heart & Vascular Medicine and Loyola Oral Health Center as well as the LUC Stritch School of Medicine, the LUC Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing and the Loyola Center for Fitness.

haha i've done it a bunch of times and havent had any problems
Somebody tell Dane Cook to stop hogging this site with his inane falsehoods
only a moron could have believed a misconception like giving a blow job on a jetski is easy
it doesnt sound easy, whore.
Real man could easily suck cock on a jet ski....you're just a pussy
For the love of all that's holy, please tell me this wasn't at Branched Oak???
you sit side-saddle on the jetski. She floats in the water. Problem solved.
what is truly disturbing is the sheer number of people who are now going to try and attempt this...
Open mouth. Supress Gag-Reflex. Take it all in.
...However, gender re-assignment surgery can be surprising cheap when done on a jet-ski.....
That's nothing. Try getting head while racing a go-kart down the cobbled roads of pamplona being chased by bulls while trying to avoid people with paintball guns shooting at you. No, I haven't done that but doesn't it sound FUCKIN AWESOME!?
thats take tellent- i have a new found respect for girls who can pull that task off
haha i bet it was at branched oak. hookerrrrs.
that doesn't even sound easy.....
1024 let's try that now! ;)
dude, i'm going to have to try that. there are no excuses for not succeeding at a blow job.
10:05 Paint balls + Being fire really fast + Blood filled region = Many many whelps and bruising of the cock and parts of her regions also..
I have a new found disrespect for people who spell talent as 'tellent.'
White girls give great head
fake. agreed. totally.
5:37, yeah lets go right now ... youll pay a nice visit to the hospital
Were you blowing Kenny Powers?
Am i the only one who kind of wants to try this?
that really does not sound easy. at. ALL.
You've got mad skills if u pulled that shit off \nProps:)
i'm fucking in! you're fucking out!
Did Sarah Kyker send this text? Because I would think she would have lots of practice.
you motorboatin son of a bitch
10:31 You know it sweety.
5:25, you try it. on me. now.
4:56 - i bet that chick actually did that while he was jetskiing before he flipper her off.
I'm fucking in! you're fucking out!

Thousands Rally to Support New Arena in Seattle
by AP
posted Jun 15 2012 10:10AM
<VIDEO> SEATTLE (AP) - Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp got the loudest ovations, but it was Chris Hansen left accepting the most praise at a rally in downtown Seattle to support the push for a new arena that could eventually bring the SuperSonics back.
Thursday afternoon's rally crammed green and gold clad fans into Occidental Park just a few blocks north of Seattle's stadium district where CenturyLink and Safeco fields currently sit. Hansen's proposal before the King County and Seattle city councils calls for a $490 million facility just south of the Mariners' Safeco Field with nearly $300 million in private investment.
Hansen said he was overwhelmed by the turnout, with estimates of at least 4,000 in attendance. The rally ended with chants of "Thank you Chris!" and included appearances by Payton, Kemp and fellow former Sonics star Detlef Schrempf.

Children with Down syndrome learning mathematics: can they do it? Yes they can! Jo Brady, Barbara Clarke, Ann Gervasoni discuss some teaching approaches that can be used to assist children with Down syndrome to learn mathematics.
The mathematical development of children with Down syndrome (DS) is largely uncharted territory and yet the experience of parents and teachers reminds us that children with DS can and do learn mathematics. In the 1970s, few children with DS had access to schooling and authorities in the field (Restak, 1975, cited in Rynders & Horrobin, 1990) were still arguing whether education was possible! Three decades later, the specific area of mathematics education for DS children remains an emerging field. In 2008, many children with DS in Australia attend their local school and are included in classrooms with their age peers. At present, little research information is available to guide teachers to provide the best opportunities for the children to learn mathematics. Some suggestions are provided in the resource list at the end of this article.
Down syndrome is one of the most common congenital chromosomal variations present in all populations, occurring approximately once in 700 Australian births (Selikowitz, 1997). Down syndrome results almost universally in intellectual impairment, although the extent of the disability varies. People with Down syndrome have been part of many research studies and a great deal is known about how they learn (Buckley & Bird, 2002; Wishart, 2002), their physical development (Bruni, 2006; Winders, 1997) and their acquisition of language (Buckley, 2000). However, very little is known about their acquisition of mathematical concepts.
Against this background of limited DS research, there is a stark contrast with the burgeoning interest in the mathematical development of children in general early childhood settings in Australia. A number of Australian states have undertaken major projects to assess and provide early intervention in mathematics (some states focussing on Number) such as the Early Numeracy Project (Victoria), Count Me In Too (New South Wales), Year 2 Net (Queensland) and First Steps (Western Australia). Through these projects, a considerable amount of data on the mathematical development of Australian children has been obtained (Bobis et al., 2005).
A brief description of the study
The research project used task-based interviews to gather data on the mathematical development of children with Down syndrome, modifying the Early Numeracy Interview (Clarke et al., 2002) and the Early Mathematics Understandings instrument (Gervasoni, 2004). Although these instruments are already demonstrably effective, modification, trial and development was necessary because, to our knowledge, neither had been used with children with Down syndrome.
Twelve children, ranging in age from 6 to 12 years, were recruited for participation in this study. The children were interviewed twice in the year, around July and November. The interview involved asking children to perform tasks with objects. For example, we put a collection of plastic teddy counters on the table and asked the participant to put all the yellow teddies together and then to count them. The equipment was put in a variety of interesting boxes and containers to encourage curiosity about the tasks. We videotaped the interviews and parents were invited to observe and make notes for discussion later. Figure 1 shows an interview in progress
Interviewing the children
In making decisions about the staging of the interviews, we were mindful of research that demonstrated the diminished performance of children when they were interviewed in clinical settings by researchers they did not know (Brown & Semple, 1970). Therefore, children were interviewed in a familiar setting in the presence of a parent. On one occasion, a teacher observed as well and, in another, a teacher aide was present.
Time was spent at the start of the interview chatting to the parent and the child. This allowed the interviewer the opportunity to become accustomed to the style of communication of the child. Some of the children appeared nervous at the start, although most were clearly excited.
We were astonished at the variety of approaches the children took in the interview. The behaviour of the children ranged from confident performance (even described by one mother as 'showingoff') to shy whispering. One of our younger participants found it all too much and needed considerable encouragement from his mother to continue the interview. The most surprising was one of our older students. At the start of the interview, 'Mr T' was very reluctant to participate. He refused to answer any questions, though was engaging when the interviewer was chatting and asking about non-mathematics topics. As soon as task questions were posed, he folded his arms and looked away. For some time, particularly with the early counting tasks, he gave the impression he was unable to count. Due to his maturity in conversation (and his mother rolling her eyes and shaking her head in the background!) the researcher was fairly certain this was not the case. The interviewer used techniques such as pretending to make mistakes with counting to observe if he noticed. He did, and so it was obvious he was able to perform the task--he just did not want to show that he could. Similar behaviour has been observed by Wishart (1996). Having carers present who could tell us if their child was underperforming as well as providing opportunities in the interview to approach a concept from alternative tasks were strategies we have deliberately employed to enhance the likelihood of our gaining data we could trust. For many of the children, the interviewer made use of a sticker chart to encourage and reward participation. Interviews lasted between 30 and 60 minutes and most of the children were engaged through that time. The stickers assisted to maintain interest. In two interviews, notably Mr T's, the stickers served as a supplementary counting task. Mr T had to earn 15 stickers before he could leave. Suddenly, we found out he could easily count, could self-correct with reference to the hundreds chart and could perform mental calculations such as how many more stickers he needed!
Suggestions for teachers
In this section, we offer suggestions arising from the initial analysis of our research data and from our experience of teaching children with Down syndrome. We have completed the interviews and commenced the analysis of the data. It is exciting to see the study unfolding. There is an enormous amount of data resulting from the video taped interviews and conversations with parents to be analysed. The small sample allows us to study individual cases in detail. It is early days in the analysis of our data but we believe our suggestions may be helpful and further investigation will follow.
Taking a visual approach to number concept development
Young children with Down syndrome will come to school varying greatly in their language development. Many children will be using signing to support their developing spoken language. Even so, many already will be reading! Using methods proposed by authors such as Oelwein (1995), children are taught to read using sight words and for many this has been observed as a first language, with speaking coming second and enhanced as a result. We believe this well researched approach to teaching reading (Buckley, 2000) can underlie an alternative approach to teaching counting.
Usually young children learn the oral count words first and many typically developing children arrive at school being able to say long strings in the counting word sequence. For children with DS, this may not have occurred due to difficulties with oral language. Our research suggests this does not mean they are unable to count. It may be that some of the children who are as yet unable to say the count word sequence are able to order numbers and so would appear to have some aspects of the number concepts.
Learners with DS are likely to have a relative strength in the visual learning mode. This can be used to support the development of the oral and symbolic aspects of number concept development: emphasise the visual by teaching the symbols (numerals) and the connection to the word. Oelwein (1995) advocates the approach of 'match, select and name' sequence.
Selecting is more difficult. Given some numerals, the child selects the target numeral when the teacher asks for it.
Finally, naming is the stage where the child names (or signs) the numeral when shown the card.
Once the numerals are known, the order can be taught. Counting songs are excellent for this, but the tempo needs to be slow to allow time for signing or processing the words. Videos showing Makaton signing to children's songs are available (see resource list) and give a good guide to how slow the tunes should be.
Focussing on visual approaches to learning number concepts has received recent attention (Bobis, 2008). Bobis has argued for the importance of part-whole knowledge and subitising (the process of being able to determine how many items there are without counting them), these being developed through a range of visual approaches. Some of the children in the study were successfully using materials such as real objects and number lines to perform calculations, hundreds charts to support counting and bundling sticks to understand place value concepts.
Approaches such as the use of ten-frames, five-frames, number lines, empty number lines and hundreds charts are commonplace in Australian primary classrooms. These manipulative materials and visual strategies assist learners to develop number sense using spatial methods. Numicon, developed in the UK by Wing and Tacon, is a multi-sensory mathematics teaching program using plastic shapes for 1 to 10 in set arrangements. It has been promoted as a successful approach for children with Down syndrome (Wing & Tacon, 2007). The materials focus on subitising, learning number combinations and calculating without relying on counting. Similar materials, more common in Australian classrooms, that focus on spatial thinking may well be as effective.
In focussing on developing number concepts, we are aiming for the development of number sense. Having a sense of what the number 'three' actually is involves gaining an understanding of the concept in several forms: as a symbol, as language, as representations in various arrangements of materials, as connected to other numbers. Finally, links between the forms of the concept are required for deep understanding of 'three-ness.' In teaching number to develop this rich concept, we need to use a variety of approaches. It is our view that children with Down syndrome will access the development of number sense more readily by focusing on visual and kinaesthetic approaches, with language and oral methods introduced alongside.
Feedback to parents
Parents were an integral part of our research study. They watched the interviews and gave us advice about their child's participation, the wording of questions and background information about schooling. In addition to the information the parents provided to us, we were conscious of how desperate the parents were for information from us. Parents clearly wanted to know about the mathematical development of their child. It can be very difficult for a parent of a child with an intellectual impairment to gain a realistic view of performance, perhaps particularly if the child is attending a local school. Comparison with typically developing peers is unhelpful and yet other measures are not readily available as an alternative. Children with learning disabilities are commonly withdrawn from state and now national testing, and comparisons with age peers are unhelpful if the child with DS is working on an adjusted program. Few have access to comparisons with others with DS.
At the end of the interview, many parents expressed keen interest in our opinion of how their child had performed. This research may begin to provide ways to help parents and teachers to judge the educational progress of the child with Down syndrome.
We would recommend an approach where teachers report specific achievements against the 'big ideas' of mathematics, such as those specified in syllabus documents. Accomplished concepts as well as emerging concepts are helpful for parents to know. Providing information about where the child is headed would also be important. Parents attend planning meetings for their children and it is helpful for them to have detailed information to support their contribution. Teachers may also be surprised at the extent to which parents of children with Down syndrome read research. All the parents in our study were keenly aware of the literature on Down syndrome. Clearly, there is likely to be a sampling effect here--parents with an interest in research are more likely to participate in studies--however, even so, parents are often part of support groups and can be very knowledgeable. Teachers can use this knowledge as a resource; invite parents to share latest research or information and follow up with them after you have had time to read and consider the information.
Deciding what to teach
In the development of individual learning programs for children with Down syndrome, decisions need to be made about what to teach. In the early years, the programs will be similar to those for other children in the class, ensuring an emphasis on visual learning approaches. As the child moves through primary school, the gap between their mathematical development and that of their age peers tends to widen. Decisions then need to be made about what to teach. In our study, the older children who were included with age peers were learning a range of mathematics from across the discipline. They were using similar approaches and manipulative materials to others in their class and the effectiveness of this could be seen in their performance during the interview. These children were successful at a range of tasks and were familiar with the standard classroom materials, such as hundreds charts and calculators (see Figure 2).
From the initial analysis of our data, it would seem that assisting children to work on similar content to that of others in the class is an effective approach. Strategies for diversifying the curriculum are available elsewhere (see for example, Browder & Spooner, 2006; Carnellor, 2004).
Future plans
Our main purpose in this research is to empower teachers and parents through the understanding we hope to gain about the mathematical development of children with Down syndrome. Only through research can those closely involved in the teaching and learning process be advised of best practice approaches. In the 1960s, life expectancy for people with Down syndrome was around 15 years. Now, it is more than 50, with one in ten living to their seventies (Brown, 1996). Preparation for a long adulthood is essential and begins in the early years. Foundation concepts of mathematics underpin lifelong numeracy development, an important goal for all learners, including those with Down syndrome.
Matching involves matching a numeral written on a card to an identical numeral on another card. Begin with one numeral to match--small steps allow the learner to succeed at each stage and practise before moving on. As one numeral is learned move to others. The order is not important at this stage. Selecting is more difficult. Given some numerals, the child selects the target numeral when the teacher asks for it. Finally, naming is the stage where the child names (or signs) the numeral when shown the card.
The authors are grateful for the contribution of the children with Down syndrome and their families who participated in our study.

Since you said "especially in DX10", I assume it was not only. In that case I can say, absolutely no problem with DX9, 1080p 60Hz on my 37" Westy which is a native resolution. I'm not going to get Vista till force into it on my Nehalem upgrade so can't test the DX10 for now.
I did a search at AMD Game Forums and found a thread where couple guys had same problem like you but only on with DX10 titles.
The thread is two pages long and it looks like the two guys complaining about it found
very simple solution

Once you see a female friends ketiaknya fur dense enough? How do you feel when you have that sort of armpit hair, naturally You confusion to determine how to eliminate underarm fur, ranging from cutting, shaving, plucking, until the modern way and costs are expensive.
Armpit hairs are actually normal when you are entering puberty or adolescence. The fur is long and heavily getting longer with age, as in line with the development of the body. Because the body is experiencing hormonal changes that lead to many things, such as the growth of armpit hairs.Cars New Review
For men, the armpit hairs give the impression of a male, macho and cool. Especially if there is also a fine hair on the chest, the man who as such is not ashamed of it. But it is different for a woman, because beauty is disturbed by the presence of bristles on the armpits.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

L. Meralco tackles Tanjong Pagar
UNITED Football League's Loyola Meralco tries to move a step closer to duplicating its feat last season when it tangles with Singapore League side Tanjong Pagar today in the first leg of their Singapore Cup quarterfinal clash at Queenstown Stadium.
The Sparks, a surprise semifinalists last year, are once again looking at the prestigious tournament as their saving grace after their failure to win any trophy in the UFL last season.
But Tanjong Pagar, with a much-improved roster from last season, offers a stiff test for the Sparks, who lost an important member to their side in attacking midfielder Mark Hartmann during the off-season.
Hartmann has transferred to Global, which was playing DPMM Brunei in another Singapore Cup quarterfinal clash at presstime.
National team stars Phil and James Younghusband, whose presence still draw huge crowds here, will once again lead the line for the Sparks, who reached the quarterfinals after a 2-0 victory over Harimau Muda-B last May.
Experienced international players Chad Gould and Simon Greatwich are also in the Loyola lineup.
"We can cope and I think we will be just fine," said Sparks coach Vince Santos, whose squad finished just third in the UFL behind Stallion and Global last season.
"The Filipino fans here have been tremendous. We're looking forward to playing for them again."
One notable addition to the Sparks' roster is Ghanaian goalkeeper Baba Sampana, who is expected to start ahead of the injured Ref Cuaresma.

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office">
A lis pendens is a notice filed on public records against certain real property to give constructive notice to any purchasers or encumbrancers that there is an ongoing court dispute involving the title to the real property or liens on the real property. It requires no decision or action by the court to file and merely entails filing the document with the court and recording it against the real property at the County Recorder's Office.
In Nevada, a lis pendens can be filed against the real property of a defendant only in limited circumstances. Unfortunately, in many civil lawsuits, plaintiffs sometimes file a lis pendens outside of these limited circumstances. Often it is due to the plaintiff's attorney having inadequate knowledge about the proper use of a lis pendens or simply the attorney's failure to properly research the issue. However, in some instances, it is a calculated ruse used by some attorneys to avoid having to seek and obtain a pre-judgment writ of attachment through the court, which has with it, a stringent requirement of having to post a monetary bond. The question is under what circumstances is it proper to file a lis pendens?
Under Nevada law, it is fundamental to the recording of a lis pendens that the action involve some legal interest in the challenged real property, such as title disputes or lien foreclosures. See In re Bradshaw, 315 B.R. 875 (Bkrtcy.D.Nev.2004); see also NRS 14.010 (a party to a civil action "for the foreclosure of a mortgage upon real property or affecting title or possession of real property" may record a lis pendens). A lis pendens may not be used to obtain a type of pre-judgment writ of attachment which can later be used in the eventual collection of a judgment. Levinson v. Eighth Judicial District Court in and for the County of Clark, 1109 Nev. 747, 857 P.2d 18, 20-21 (1993). In other words, if a plaintiff merely has a suit for monetary damages against a defendant, the plaintiff cannot record a lis pendens against that the defendant's real property to secure payment for any judgment the plaintiff might eventually obtain. The Nevada Supreme Court has observed that "As a general proposition, lis pendens are not appropriate instruments for use in promoting recoveries in actions for personal or money judgments; rather, their office is to prevent the transfer or loss of real property which is the subject of dispute in the action that provides the basis for the lis pendens." Levinson, 857 P.2d at 20.
Although the doctrine of lis pendens may be applied to actions other than foreclosures, its use is restricted to avoid abuse. Levinson, 857 P.2d 18. The Levinson Court re-iterated the holding of Burger v. Superior Court of Santa Clara County, 151 Cal.App.3d 1013, 199 Cal.Rptr. 227, 230 (1984), which pointed out the difficulties presented when a lis pendens is improperly utilized:
It is one thing to say that there may be a colorable claim against real property and another to conclude that the claim is such as to affect the title or right to possession of the property within the meaning of the lis pendens statute. [The petitioner's] contention that [the real party in interest] is seeking simply to avoid the complexities of California's attachment procedure contains the germ of a more general concern. Lis pendens is one of the few remaining provisional remedies available at its inception without prior notice to the adversary. Due process is said to be provided for by subsequent notice and an expungement procedure which casts the burden upon the proponent of the lis pendens, but a lis pendens may cause substantial hardship to the property owner before relief can be obtained. A commentator has expressed reservations as to ... broad endorsement of lis pendens in claimed constructive trust actions on the ground that it tends "to create a right substantially similar to an ex parte prejudgment writ of attachment of the defendant's assets, a remedy disfavored in California and severely limited because of its due process problems." (Cal. Lis Pendens Practice, §2.7, p. 32 (citations omitted)). Overbroad definition of "an action ... affecting the title or right of possession of real property" would invite abuse of lis pendens.
The bottom line is that if a plaintiff has brought suit against a defendant and the suit is not one for some type of foreclosure on the defendant's real property or it is not one that directly affects the title to the defendant's real property, then the filing of a lis pendens is completely improper. The appropriate remedy is to file a "Motion to Expunge Lis Pendens" as soon as practicable. A plaintiff improperly filing a lis pendens against a defendant's real property without the requisite legal basis, could end up subject to sanctions, usually in the form of an award of attorney's fees to the defendant. If your real property has been subjected to a lis pendens outside of a foreclosure action or lien action, contact our firm to protect your rights.

Ariz. sheriff apologizes for botched cases
Whitney said the sheriff's office has since made changes to better track cases, and enacted more training and moved certain employees out of the sex-crimes squad.
Of the 428 reopened investigations that have been completed, 116 were deemed to have no basis in fact to move forward or had accounts that didn't add up. More than 220 were turned down by prosecutors or didn't have enough evidence to bring to prosecutors.
Sixty-nine cases had no further information to pursue or couldn't be advanced further.
The sex-crimes cases had been reported earlier by The Arizona Republic, the East Valley Tribune, KNXV-TV and other media outlets.
The Associated Press
