Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Buick Enclave
By KBB.com Editors
Over the years Buick has earned a reputation as a builder of cars that are long on comfort, if short on excitement. It is a little surprising, then, to encounter the Buick Enclave, a family-friendly eight-passenger crossover SUV that proves Buick can build an exciting vehicle. The Enclave is Buick's entry into the growing luxury SUV category and competes with well-established offerings from Lexus, Acura, BMW and Volvo. With eye-catching exterior styling, a highly usable interior and a remarkably quiet cabin the Buick Enclave has what it takes to be a viable competitor in this hot segment.
If you appreciate the refinement of a luxury car but also need the flexibility of a crossover SUV, we think you'll like the 2008 Buick Enclave. It offers the image of owning a luxury vehicle, yet at a more affordable price than many of its competitors.
You may not like the 2008 Buick Enclave if you plan to venture far from paved roads. All-wheel-drive is offered for the Enclave but it is engineered to enhance traction in the more realistic conditions of wet or snowy roads and is not intended for serious off-roading.
The Buick Enclave shares its basic structure with its siblings the GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook, but is aimed at the more demanding luxury buyer. Buick hopes the Enclave can succeed in the luxury SUV segment where its previous entries have had only marginal success.
Driving Impressions The 2008 Buick Enclave is made to carry up to eight passengers in relaxed comfort and it does so with ease. At the same time it also manages to deliver...engaging, even fun driving dynamics. The steering is light but firms up a bit at speed to give the Enclave a confident feel. The V6 engine provides good if not scorching acceleration and should be up to the task of hauling a full load of cargo or passengers. At cruising speeds Buick's attention to noise reduction pays off with very little wind, road or engine noise intruding into the cabin.
Second-Row Seats
Getting to the rear-most seats in many vehicles can be a hassle. Not so in the Enclave, where the cleverly designed second-row seats, with flip-up cushions and the capability to slide far forward, provide a wide flat space to enter the third-row seating area.
Buick's QuietTuning method of in-vehicle noise reduction may seem like marketing hype, but it has to be experienced to be appreciated. At higher speeds the interior remains delightfully calm and free of the sounds that fatigue occupants on long drives.
The 2008 Buick Enclave's interior features a curvaceous dash design accented by camphor burl wood appliques and chrome trim. High-quality materials, a simple, logical layout and an impressively low level of interior noise make for an extremely inviting cabin. The Enclave is offered in both seven- and eight-passenger versions with slide-and-fold second-row seats that make getting to the third row extremely easy. Cargo space behind the third row is good and, with the second and third rows folded, the Enclave offers a cavernous, flat load area.Exterior
As one of the few vehicles to make it from concept to production without having its exterior styling diluted, the 2008 Buick Enclave offers a bolder appearance than many crossover SUVs. While large enough to accommodate eight passengers, the Enclave's artful body lines give it the look of a much smaller vehicle. The face of the Enclave features a "waterfall" grille, modern-looking portholes above the fenders and intricately detailed almond-shaped head lamps. Adding some flash to its svelte body are standard 18-inch wheels, chrome-tipped dual exhaust outlets and chrome roof rails.
There are two trims offered for the 2008 Buick Enclave. The standard equipment list for the base CX trim includes 18-inch wheels, a power liftgate, power front seats and tri-zone automatic climate control. Stepping up to the CXL adds heated power adjustable front seats, leather seating surfaces and stylish 19-inch aluminum wheels. Standard safety features on all Enclaves include anti-lock brakes, stability and traction control, front air bags, front-seat-mounted air bags and three-row side curtain airbags that stay inflated longer in the event of a vehicle rollover.
Many of the optional features available for the 2008 Buick Enclave are grouped into packages. Included in the Driver Confidence package are remote vehicle engine start, a heated windshield washer fluid reservoir and rear parking sensors. Available only for the CXL trim is the Luxury Package that adds power folding side mirrors, adaptive headlamps and a power tilting and telescoping steering wheel. Also available are a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, a rear-facing camera, eight-passenger seating, a navigation system and a sunroof.
Powering the 2008 Buick Enclave is a strong 3.6-liter V6. It delivers energetic performance and excellent fuel economy with the help of modern technologies like variable valve timing and an electronic throttle. The V6 is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. A wide spread of gear ratios helps get the most out of the engine while maximizing efficiency. We did, however, notice some delayed reactions from the transmission and the occasional rough shift. An optional all-wheel-drive system is also available which requires no driver intervention and automatically distributes torque between the front and rear wheels.
3.6-liter V6
275 horsepower at 6600 rpm
251 lb.-ft. of torque at 3200 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/24 FWD, 16/22 AWD

Pros: "Quiet and smooth ride, interior finishes and space"
Cons: "Depreciation."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9
"We have the Buick Enclave for two years now and 23k miles on it. The ride is as smooth as you can expect, even better than my last two sedans that I have owned ((2006 Nissan Altima and 2015 Honda Accord). This is a family vehicle and its not a sport cars, but by no means its sluggish. Power is adequate and we get a combine gas millage of 17 MPG. We drive 50/50 highway and city. But I have to note that with the remote start, we usually leave the vehicle on (cooling)for five to ten minutes while we get the kids on their car seats and close out the house and as expected this drop the gas mileage considerably. We have the leather package, (IMO the way to go) and the interiors as good as any other competitor in the price range. All the convenience features are a big welcome too, for example the home-link/garage opener, the blind spot sensors, and the back up camera with proximity sensors, the tri-zone AC, etc. In summary this vehicle has all the features that you will expect from an upscale vehicle at a more reasonable cost and an interior space comparable to a minivan (without the minivan stigma). If you want a sportier vehicle look elsewhere, if you want comfort give the Enclave a try. We have a three year lease, so we don't have to worry with long term maintenance cost and that its something that you will have to research on your own. So far the only two issues that we have had with it were covered by the warranty, one was a door gasket and the other a tail light bulb. My only concern with this and all other american vehicles not named Jeep Wrangler is the depreciation. for some reason american cars even with the improved quality and reliability, post 2008 market crash, do not seem to hold their value in the long term."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 58,000overall rating 9 of 10rating details
Pros: "Quiet, good driving, safe, luxurious"
Cons: "Engine slightly overpowered under a full load"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"For a three row luxury SUV the Enclave is about the best car money can buy. We average about 19 mpg in residential driving, and beat the 22 mpg EPA estimate on the highway regularly getting 23 mpg or a little more. The car is comfortable in all three rows for people six feet tall and can seat 8 with the middle row bench seat. The second radio for the backseat passengers is convinent and the Panasonic video monitor shows movies for kids on long trips with no issues. Bluetooth for a model 5 years ago works perfectly, and can even read out text messages and allow you to dictate a verbal response immediately while driving. It is easy to use and its undertanding is pretty good. On Star is a nice feature we like a lot. They are always very helpful and they are able to help us find the closest resturant or whatever we need with minimal fuss. We have used them for directions probably about 60 times over five years, and only one time did they misdirect us - missing our destination by one block. Overall a good service. The car is exceptionally quiet and the kids fall asleep pretty easily. The V6 engine is good for better gas mileage - some might find it a little taxed on mountain roads and a full load, but that is the only time it might seem a little underpowered. The engine revs high under those conditions to get the torque necessary to move the heavy, 2 ton vehicle. I have nearly 60,000 on the car and it has been a good deal. I am only selling it as I no longer need a three row vehicle as I suspect it will last someone who buys it a very long time. It has been very reliable through 5 years of ownership."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 97,000overall rating 6 of 10rating details
Pros: "Interior space and features"
Cons: "Quality of car in general!"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1
"I absolutely love the outside and inside of this car. I have two children and with the space & DVD player pkg and it has been great. With that said, the quality of this car is not up to par with the luxury title. I have had A/C problems ($2200 repair), my rear door will lift and click at times and won't go back down, my interior storage door completely broke in two, and worst yet is the transmission problems. I took it in to get fixed and the guy fixing my transmission said he sees these cars all the time with transmission problems. We have decided to sell it, which makes me so angry because I was hoping to keep this car longer than the 4 years I have owned it. I test drove an Acura this weekend and the sales guy asked me right away if I was having transmission problems with my Buick. I will never buy a Buick again which is unfortunate."

Defending champion Murray beats another Mayer
More News from Agence France-Presse
NEW YORK – Defending champion Andy Murray beat another man called Mayer at the US Open to reach the last 16 on Sunday.
The third-seeded Briton, who ended his country's 76-wait for a Grand Slam men's champion when he won his maiden major title in New York last year, eased past Germany's world number 49 Florian Mayer, 7-6 (7/2), 6-2, 6-2.
His win was built on an impressive 42 winners and seven aces and followed his second-round victory over Leonardo Mayer of Argentina.
"I think I need to start my matches quicker than I have been doing. I am not that fast out of the blocks," said the 26-year-old.
"But once I got going I was striking the ball cleanly."
Murray, the reigning Olympic and Wimbledon champion, will face either Italian 20th seed Andreas Seppi or Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan for a place in the quarter-finals.
The Scot leads Seppi 5-1 in their career match-ups, with the Italian's only win coming in their first meeting on grass in Nottingham in 2006.
Murray defeated Istomin, the world number 65, in their only other match in the quarter-finals in Brisbane in January this year.

Date Reviewed: June 14, 2008
Strengths: Decent weight for an aluminum frame.
A pretty good price for a 100% USA made frame.
SS or geared dropouts. Great company to work with. You can get it in almost any color you want (for a bit more money.)
Balanced 70 deg. HA.
Weaknesses: ?
Bottom Line:
Sinister hardtails (like the Ridge) dampen bumps very well, so they have a more comfortable feel. Big impacts still feel harsh, because it is still a hardtail. I could not feel much side to side flex, but a tiny bit to help it pinn corners (which it does well.)
I may get one for XC racing.
Handmade in the USA and comes at a decent price.
The Sinister forum is a great resource (you can talk with the guy who made your frame.)

GeForce 6800 and random freezes
I did have a problem with random freezing mainly noticed in FarCry (very card stressful) and when attempting to bench in '03
Yes I know there have been several threads but no one has posted a concrete solution. This worked for me and ALOT of other people in the OCUK forum.
First of all I thought heat, then I thought power related. However after lots of testing and forum posts it turns out it was Fast Writes being enabled causing it. I cant take credit but it definitly fixed the problem.
Interestingly disabling it in bios did not disable it in windows and I had to disable it using RivaTuner.
Also instersetingly for people not experiancing this, disabling Fast Writes appears to allow higher overclocks for people using all types of 6800s.
This appears to be a problem specifically on the nforce3 150/250/Pro/non-pro chipset ironically (as far as we know).
The problem has been posted by people in various places but its never been categorically fixed to my knowledge anyway (I did lots of googling believe me!). So I felt it best to post as a FYI for people.
Updated on 3/20/2005 by MikeC:
I put together a new system back in January, which consists of an AMD Athlon 64 4000+, MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Motherboard (nForce 3 Ultra), and two 512MB sticks of Corsair DDR400 dual-channel memory.
Most of my gaming of late has been in single-player mode, but this weekend I had the urge to fire up my favorite multi-player game - Enemy Territory. Unfortunately, I have spent most of that time investigating an annoying system "freeze" that occurs while playing on
PunkBuster enabled servers
. The system even "freezes" for a split second when PunkBuster is enabled during ET's player profile creation process.
I didn't experience this problem during a
preview of the GeForce 6800 Ultra
on a similar system last April. I have tested the GeForce 6800 Ultra and Radeon X800 XT PE in the new system and the problem occurs with both graphics cards. There are a number of items left to troubleshoot, but so far the only way I have been able to avoid the problem is to play on servers that do not require Punkbuster.
The main reason I am mentioning this is because of the growing number of reports of random lockups and freezes with GeForce 6 Series graphics cards. If you are experiencing similar problems during on-line gameplay, be sure to check out

Be sure to spend some time with our recent advisory on Canada's Anti-Spam Law (CASL), now that compliance dates for rules governing commercial electronic messages (CEMs), software downloads, and related conduct have been set to start taking effect July 1, 2014. By comparison to U.S. CAN-SPAM law, CASL is broader and does not deal solely with email "spam," but also reaches CEMs sent to instant message and social network accounts, and by short message service (SMS) texts to cell phones, too. CASL also regulates the installation of computer programs, as well as the and alteration of transmission data, and other computer-related conduct.
When the new law is fully in force, it will apply to all CEMs sent from or accessed by computer systems located in Canada, and thus governs CEMs sent from the other countries, including the United States. The next 6 to 12 months provided for compliance ramp-up are thus critical for all businesses in Canada—as well as for those in the U.S. who have a Canadian presence or who transmit CEMs or computer software downloads to be received or downloaded by Canadian residents.

IGNOU will soon tie up with the Indian army to set up community colleges in its cantonments and other defence establishments to impart education in market-driven courses and soft skill programmes.
"The courses will be for army personnel and their family members to help the unemployed members secure employment," university officials said, adding that the programmes would also be useful for those personnel who are looking to start a new career after retirement.
The faculty will comprise teachers from IGNOU as well as from the defence forces.
Other details of the project and the funds are being worked out, they said.
IGNOU had recently started 100 community colleges in various parts of the country with an aim to help the underprivileged avail quality education, besides targeting dropouts.
Students, who attend these colleges will acquire associate degrees, which will ensure them a lateral entry to the bachelor's programme for formal graduation degrees.

Learn how to make a Burned Glue Fleur de Lis Necklace from Savannah Starr but be careful - you might find yourself addicted to vintage jewelry craft ideas. You won't believe how easy it is to use the burned glue techniques for handmade jewelry.
Find a plain fleur de lis pendant at your local craft store and use your finger to cover it with glue. Light a candle and use the flame to burn the surface of fleur de lis. Once the glue is black, set the piece aside and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Once the piece is cool to the touch, wipe away the soot to reveal a cool-looking surface. Paint the pendant black and then cover it with Rub n' Buff to give it a scratched look.

SEOUL, South Korea, April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), as part of its Wireless Reach™ initiative, Gyeonggi Province, Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC), and Korea Telecom (KT) today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding for a project that will benefit patients suffering from chronic disease. The project called Self Quality Care, which will utilize 3G-enabled applications and services, will provide participating patients and health workers with educational health information and reminders to help manage the chronic disease and live healthier lives.
During this project, data gathered from diabetic patients' glucose measurements will be automatically transmitted to KT's u-Health Platform through a 3G Health Home Gateway (HHG). The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), a non-profit, government-funded research institute focused on developing information technologies, will oversee the implementation and evaluation of the project. KT will develop the u-Health Platform, which will store, manage and transmit data through the 3G HHG, as well as provide web service solutions and smartphone applications that will enable patients and health workers to better manage diabetes. Ubcare, a Korean software developer and distributor of glucose meters, will provide glucose meters and strips. Additionally, Ubcare will join KT to create software that will communicate with hospital medical record databases, as well as the u-Health Platform's database, through KT's broadband Internet and mobile broadband services.
The Self Quality Care project comes at a time when Korea's government is facing challenges relating to the increase in need for resources and costs of providing medical care for a rapidly aging society.'/>"/>

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palmarola is a craggy, mostly uninhabited island in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the west coast of Italy. It is the second largest of the Pontine Islands and located about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) west from Ponza.
Palmarola has an extremely rocky coast dotted with natural grottos, bays, cliffs, and crags. The island is primarily a nature reserve, but there are a handful of ports where boats can land and several restaurants that cater to tourists during the summer season. A few small beaches exist.
Pope Silverius was exiled to and died on Palmarola in 537.

If you do not see your friend, turn and run in the opposite direction until you catch up to him.
Posted 30 July 2013 - 12:01 PM
You and your friend are standing on a road which goes on forever in both directions. Your friend suggests a game of chase. Since you are faster, your friend will get a head start. Also, to make it more interesting than a simple Achilles vs Tortoise race, you will not know in which direction your friend takes off.
Can you catch up to your friend? Does the answer depend on your speed x, and if so, what is the minimum x for which you can catch up? What is your strategy?

Matchup: Rutgers vs. Washington State (in Seattle)
Date/Time: August 28, 10:00 p.m. ET
TV: FOX Sports 1
College Football Betting Odds From BetDSI Sportsbook
Spread: Washington State -8
Total: 61
After opening last season with a 52-51 overtime thriller at Fresno State, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights will hit the Pacific Coast once again in Week 1 when they take on the Washington State Cougars. The Scarlet Knights pass defense gave up 456 yards in that game and they'll be tested again by quarterback Connor Halliday and Mike Leach's offense. The Scarlet Knights gave up 312 yards per game through the air last season and the Cougars racked up 368 passing yards per game on an average of 58 attempts per game.
The biggest offseason development for Rutgers is that they joined the Big Ten Conference. Their first conference game will have to wait until September 13 when they host Penn State, but the Scarlet Knights are sure to be focused on this game. Gary Nova held off the competition in order to remain the starting quarterback, but he'll clearly have to improve on last season's 54.5 percent completion rate and 18/14 TD/INT ratio. Luckily for Nova, the Rutgers running game looks formidable with Paul James, Justin Goodwin, and Savon Huggins, who collectively averaged 4.78 yards per carry last season. All five starters return on the offensive line and that should lead to improvement overall.
The defense was torched by opposing quarterbacks as Rutgers gave up 312 passing yards per game and gave up over 400 yards in four games. The rush defense was actually pretty good, holding opponents to 3.1 yards per carry. The defense only forced six interceptions, leading to a -12 turnover margin that was too much to overcome. Despite the pass defense issues, Rutgers still managed a respectable 6-7 season, but they do step up in conference. For this game, however, it's all about the pass defense and the concerns in that area.
The Cougars have to enter this season with a Grand Canyon-sized chip on their shoulders. In one of the worst bad beats of the season, both for gamblers and football players, the Cougars blew a couple of sizable leads in the New Mexico Bowl and eventually lost 48-45 because they inexplicably fumbled twice when they could have taken a knee. If that doesn't provide motivation, who knows what will.
In any event, the offense is in good hands senior Connor Halliday in his third season with Leach. The top eight wide receivers from last season return and 10 of the top 11 overall are back. There are three new starters on the offensive line, but that may not be a bad thing given the complete lack of rushing production and 32 sacks allowed. Defensively, the Cougars allowed nearly 6,000 yards and 423 points. The best defensive player, Deone Bucannon, was a first-round pick in the NFL Draft and second-leading tackler Justin Sagote is also gone. There are a lot of worries about this group.
While Rutgers doesn't rate very well from the eye test, they are 6-3 ATS as a road/neutral underdog under Kyle Flood. They were an 11-point dog in that aforementioned game at Fresno State. Leach's Cougars reached a bowl game for the first time since 2003 last year and six wins was the most since 2006's 6-6 campaign. The Cougars were 9-4 ATS last season and 3-0 as a home favorite. This isn't a true road game, but there won't be many Rutgers fans at CenturyLink Field in Seattle.
Free College Football Pick: Rutgers Scarlet Knights
This game could end up being a Washington State blowout if Gary Nova doesn't hold up his end of the bargain, but the Knights are going to run a lot in this game and try to control the clock. They should be able to do it and Flood has had a lot of time to coach his defensive backs up prior to this game and with FCS Howard on deck. The Knights should have a major edge in the trenches and it will be hard for Washington State to match their physicality.

ECHL Game Night 10/21: Ice Pilots at ChiefsSubmitted by pete on October 21, 2006 - 17:48
Tonight is the season opener for a Johnstown team that has had an almost complete identity overhaul in the offseason. Gone are former GM Toby O'Brien as well as many of the familiar ECHL veterans who used to make up the team. In their place the Lightning have set up a new management team and a revamped roster that includes much more youth, skill and speed. Coach Frank Anzalone is the constant, and the veteran coach will go for his 300th ECHL win tonight. Stanislav Lascek and Radek Smolenak should form a potent offensive attack for the Chiefs and they are expected to get strong goaltending from Gerald Coleman and Morgan Cey, but it's the progress of the team's defensemen that may decide how much it can improve over last season's short playoff run. PEN-2 JHN-5 Congratulations to Coach Anzalone on his 300th ECHL win. [url=morgan-cey]Morgan Cey[/url] stopped 31 of 33 for the win. Veteran Jean Desrochers had a first period natural hat trick to set the pace for the Chiefs. Doug Andress had a goal and two assists while [url=zbynek-hrdel]Zbynek Hrdel[/url] racked up three assists. Doug Adams had two assists and Radek Smolenak added his first professional goal while individual helpers went to [url=pj-atherton]PJ Atherton[/url], [url=stanislav-lascek]Stanislav Lascek[/url] and Brandon Elliot. And that's just game one. Game sheet from [url=http://echl.leaguestat.com/stats/game-summary.php?game_id=918]ECHL.com[/url].

Word on the Street From JohnstownSubmitted by pete on October 21, 2006 - 11:22
Word on the street from Johnstown is that [url=andre-deveaux]Andre Deveaux[/url] and [url=jay-rosehill]Jay Rosehill[/url] were at this morning's practice for the Chiefs and thus, logically, have been sent down by the Falcons. Neither organization has released confirmation yet. The Chiefs opener is tonight at 7pm at home against Pensacola. [b]Update:[/b] [url=http://www.echl.com/cgi-bin/mpublic.cgi?action=show_news&cat=1&id=8948]ECHL.com has announced[/url] that Jay Rosehill has indeed been sent down to Johnstown. Also, Ian MacLean has been placed on the 7 day IR. Still no word on Deveaux.

AHL Game Night 10/20: Monarchs at FalconsSubmitted by pete on October 20, 2006 - 18:07
Bolt Prospects will be watching tonight's Falcons home opener on B2 Networks and liveblogging some game notes during the intermissions. Tonight's game sets up as a critical one of several levels. First, with Ryan Craig now out for a month with a knee sprain, several Falcons forwards will be attempting to make a good impression for the organization and earn a callup. For the Lightning/Falcons organization, whatever goodwill Springfield fans had for their new affiliation has all but dried up after two years of struggling and after last weekend's debacle in Norfolk the natives are definitely restless. For Head Coach Steve Stirling, this is the first major test of his leadership as the Falcons' bench boss. After skating his team hard on Tuesday and Wednesday to punish them for their poor play last weekend, will the young Falcons respond? And, finally, there are several subplots for the Lightning's young prospects. Will [url=karri-ramo]Karri Ramo[/url] rebound from a tough weekend and settle into the team's starting role? Will [url=marek-kvapil]Marek Kvapil[/url] respond to his healthy scratch in Norfolk and start to lead the Falcons offense as was expected at the start of the year? Will the Falcons young defensemen like [url=mike-egener]Mike Egener[/url], [url=matt-smaby]Matt Smaby[/url] and [url=andy-rogers]Andy Rogers[/url] tighten up their play after looking like the Keystone Cops in Norfolk? It's a critical three game weekend set, and anything less than a couple of wins will be a huge disappointment.

|Accession Numbers: EG10420 (MetaCyc), b2507, ECK2503
Species: Escherichia coli K-12 substr. MG1655
Subunit composition of
GMP synthetase = [GuaA]2
GMP synthetase = GuaA
GMP synthetase catalyzes the glutamine- or ammonia-dependent synthesis of GMP from XMP [Patel75].
GMP synthetase contains an N-terminal glutamine amide transfer (GAT) domain [Zalkin85a], a central ATP-pyrophosphatase (ATPP) domain, and a C-terminal dimerization domain [Tesmer96]. The GAT domain is thought to utilize glutamine to generate ammonia, which is then transferred to the ATPP domain via a substrate-protective channel or tunnel.
A protein consisting only of the ATPP and dimerization domains of GMP synthetase dimerizes in solution and has similar Km values for ATP, XMP, and ammonia as the full-length protein. However, the rate of catalysis using ammonia as a substrate is dramatically increased, possibly due to enhanced access to the active site [Abbott06].
A crystal stucture of GMP synthetase has been solved at 2.2 Å resolution [Tesmer96]. The enzyme from E. coli B is a dimer in solution [Sakamoto72], while preliminary analysis of the crystal structure of GMP synthetase showed a homotetrameric structure [Tesmer94].
Strains containing a guaA null mutation are auxotrophic for guanine [Lambden73, Joyce06].
A guaA-disrupted mutant was used to shut down the XMP to GMP reaction in a inosine-producing strain of E. coli [Shimaoka06].

I think its absurd for anyone to think that 1280x1024 is some kind of wrong, screwy, gay resolution. Why would it be an option then? There are many other resoltions that aren't at the "

If you want to know why I use it; there's two reasons:
1: It offers more workspace which I need doing my work.
2: It's not as blurry as 1600x1200 on my monitor.
You know, it is a stupid resolution. Why else would the entire industry support it and so many people make use of it?
It's just a bunch of pexils at a 1.25 ratio. Seems like a pretty solid and cool ratio to me, much unlike that gay 1.33 ratio. (just kidding)
Who am I kidding? I can't read all this scewed text.
(kidding again)
EDIT: Oh yes, and I use Photoshop 6 all the time and have never had any scewed work or problems drawing circles. There are tool options that help you draw or make perfect square shapes. You simply make the project the size you need it to be when you print it out.
The resolution is just a viewing window size into your puter.
Your experiment is useless because you made it a stretched backround. You stretched it. Of course it's going to do that when the resolution is not at a 4:3(1.33) ratio.
Now that is a very valid reason why someone would use a resolution. We see different pros and cons in everything.
You're right, forget the stretching.
Without resizing your monitor properly go and make a 50x50 pixel selection area in 1280x1024 and tell me what shape it is. If you resize it properly the 50x50 box will be square, but the picture will NOT fill your monitor...go try some monitor calibrating software sometime. You'll see what I mean. People don't understand that non 4:3 ratio resolutions ARE fine...but you MUST resize your picture properly not just so it fills the entire screen. Letterbox resolutions are a perfect example of this.
Here's my clever comment

The Art of Sweetness: A Conversation with Pastry Chef Joanne Chang (Encore Presentation)
By Rich Fisher
Tulsa, OK – (Note: This interview originally aired last year.) Pastry chef Joanne Chang, the chef-owner of Boston's celebrated Flour Bakery + Cafe, shares some recipes on today's ST. She also talks about her transition from the world of business to the world of sweets and treats. A former Tulsan, Chang was a Harvard graduate in applied math and economics when she decided to pursue a career in the kitchen rather than the boardroom. Her first book, "Flour: Spectacular Recipes from Boston's Flour Bakery + Cafe," features more than 150 of her most popular recipes --- including the sticky buns that bested celebrity chef Bobby Flay on his popular Food Network program, "Throwdown." Chang was a guest of Book Smart Tulsa earlier this week.

"To beget or be begotten is not an essential attribute but an accidental one." I'm not so sure about that. Would that mean that the Son is not necessarily the Son and could in some possible world he could be the Father? If the son is "eternally" begotten is he begotten in every possible world? If what distinguishes the son from the father is the begotteness then it would seem to be a essential attribute or else the very persons of the Trinity are mere accidents. Just thinking out loud.

De Trinitate
Today is Trinity Sunday, the first Sunday after Pentecost. It is celebrated in Catholic Churches around the world. Since I'm not Catholic nor a mainline Protestant, then chances are I'll hear nothing of it from the pulpit today.
Nevertheless, the Trinity is a fundamental belief essential to all Christians everywhere for all time. It is a tenet of the faith that cannot be compromised. For your musings, here's a reading from Michael Horton's systematic The Christian Faith.
Essential attributes are shared equally by the three persons. All three persons are infinite, sovereign, loving, and omniscient. However, only the Father begets, only the Son is begotten, and only the Spirit is spirited….Even in human generation, it is persons who are begotten, not human nature.
(p 290)
Presumably, to beget or be begotten is not an essential attribute but an accidental one. Humanly speaking, personhood carries with it both essential attributes (all that human nature entails, e.g., mind, body) and accidental ones (having a sister, not having a brother, being the first-born, being female, etc). Thus the Son is not the Father (accidentally speaking) but shares in the Father's nature in toto.
For a provocative but accessible presentation see the essay by Jeffrey Brower and Michael Rea, "Understanding the Trinity".
See also "Trinity without Tiers or De Trinitate".
5 Comments on "De Trinitate"
Well now…I've got more to think about!
How might Calvin's autotheos help here (if at all)?
Well now…I've got more to think about!
Consider: If God is a Trinity in all possible worlds, then there is no world in which God is not a Trinity. Simply because Son is designated an accidental property and not an essential one, does not entail that accidental properties do not convey in all possible worlds. Put differently, if a) accidental properties supervene from essential properties and b) essential properties transcend all possible worlds, then c) it's conceivable that the accidental properties subsist in all possible worlds. Ergo, the Son is the Son in all possible worlds.

An All-Tablet Super Bowl
Patriots versus Giants. Again.
After running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis scored the New England Patriots' first touchdown in the American Football Conference championship game on Sunday, during his celebration he pointed to the black patch, which all his teammates have worn the whole season: "MHK." The late Myra Kraft, the beloved wife of Pats owner Bob Kraft who died shortly before the season (and whom contributing editor Joan Nathan fondly remembered on The Scroll), has turned into something like a patron saint for a franchise that, despite the 13-3 record and top seed, made its way to its fifth Super Bowl in 11 seasons only after being served the Denver Broncos on a platter last weekend and, yesterday, barely making their way past the Baltimore Ravens, who, offensively challenged as they are, failed to push the game at New England's home field into overtime only after their kicker missed a 31-yard chip shot at the end of regulation for the 23-20 loss.
The second game, for the National Football Conference championship, was even better and made you feel even worse: better, because it was a true defensive battle, in the rain, at historic Candlestick Park; worse, because the San Francisco 49ers, last year a 6-10 team, had made for a wonderful story by building themselves up to 13-3 and a first-round bye with defensive grit, stellar special teams, and only 10 turnovers in 16 games, only to lose this game because of … two turnovers in the kicking game (committed, incidentally, by the same player, a young wide receiver filling in for normal return man Ted Ginn, who was out with an injury). Just a heartbreaking loss. And the New York Giants' 20-17 overtime victory means that, for the second year in a row, the NFC will be represented in the big game by its 9-7 sixth seed who got hot.
Yes, the big game: The Super Bowl is fewer than two weeks away in Indianapolis. It is, I won't be the last to point out, a rematch of four years ago, when the Giants (then the fifth rather than sixth seed) upset the 18-0 Pats. There are plenty more story-lines if you want them: Pats coach Bill Belichick again going up against his old team, the Giants; the Pats playing in Indianapolis, site of their normal archrival Colts; Giants quarterback Eli Manning looking to best his older, better brother Peyton's one Super Bowl ring with a second of his own on Peyton's home turf. The betting lines opened with the Pats favored by three. Really? The Giants just won three games on the road—in one of them, they blew out the 15-1 Green Bay Packers—and have exactly the sort of defense (able to create a substantial pass rush without blitzing) suited to taking down New England's aerial attack. Not that it's been much of an aerial attack: QB Tom Brady threw one more interception than touchdown yesterday, and for all we know he lost his best target, tight end Rob Gronkowski, injured late yesterday (by the same safety who ended Brady's 2008 season with a shot to the knees). This Pats team is worse than the one four years ago in most ways; this Giants team has a superior passing game and, possibly, nearly as stout a defense. The indoor turf will favor the Giants' pass rush and speedy receivers. And the Giants even beat the Pats earlier this year. I don't expect a blowout, but if there is one, I expect the Giants to come out on top.
Oh, and yes. At the beginning of this season, Tablet Magazine selected three teams. One, to replace the disgraced Washington Redskins, was the Chicago Bears. The other two were our carryovers from last year: the Pats and the Giants. Stay tuned to find out who Tablet's pick will be.

President Bush spoke in a campaign appearance in the Fox Park neighborhood in St. Louis to discuss crime issues in the 1992 presidential campaign. Flanked by Sen. John Danforth, Sen. Phil Gramm and local law enforcement officers, President Bush criticized the record of his opponent on crime in Arkansas, and recalled the death of a woman in Baltimore who was killed when she was dragged by two men who stole her car. The president urged stricter measures against criminals, harsher penalties for criminals who use guns, and tightened laws on child support. close

Letters: Afghanistan, medical records, stress and more
In response to "Afghan forces weak as transition nears" (Dec. 11): The Afghan army will always be weak, as will the Afghan government in general. A strong central government with a national army is an alien concept imposed on the Afghans by arrogant Western nations. What we in the West deem corruption the Afghans deem their traditional way of life. Tribal loyalties will always trump allegiance to any government in Kabul, and the treachery of the Pakistanis will always sap the efforts of foreign governments to reform Afghanistan into a Western-style democracy. This is a lesson the Macedonians, the British, and the Soviets learned the hard way, as we are doing now. No doubt the Chinese or some other ascendant empire will make the same mistake.
Forget about nation-building, women's rights, etc. The only thing that has improved over the last 4,000 [years] of Afghan history is the lethality of their weapons, and the only purpose served by NATO's continued presence in Afghanistan is to supply prey items for the Taliban's cynical blood sport. The way to respond to acts of terrorism originating from Afghanistan is to level one of their towns after each incident. Let's get our troops out now. – Salvatore Scafidi, San Diego
Reading the article about OpenNotes, "Patients' access to doctor's notes shown to improve quality of care" (Health, Dec. 11), reminded me of a doctor who dictated the treatment notes into his handheld device intermittently throughout our appointment. It was great! Since he was dictating what he thought I said as I was answering his questions, I was able to correct anything he misunderstood or misspoke – and he could immediately correct his dictation.
This wasn't mentioned in the article, but even more importantly is reviewing our physician's treatment notes prior to a surgery. The vague and/or false representations a surgeon might make when answering a patient's preoperative questions becomes evident when their treatment notes contradict the representations they made to you. – Melina W. Leonard, Rancho Bernardo
Regarding "Taming Stress" (Health, Dec. 11), I have a foolproof way of reducing stress. It works every time. Write down the word "stressed" and then spell it backward. – Mark J. Leonard, Rancho Bernardo
Checking out in Washington
I live in Clairemont Mesa and a constituent of Brian Bilbray. I did as the president asked and tried to contact my congressman's office by telephone. The Washington office's message machine said it was full and the Solana Beach office doesn't answer at all.
This is exactly what's wrong with the Republican Party. Bilbray has THREE weeks left on his term and an extremely important bill to vote on and he is already gone.
The "fiscal cliff" crisis is one of the Republicans' own making, and Bilbray has already taken off from work and gone home. – Harry Maker, Clairemont
John Suhr's Dec. 6 letter [about the California Environmental Quality Act] was rich in irony and proves the validity of the lawsuit that was filed to ensure that SANDAG complies with all environmental laws in creating long-term land use and transportation plans.

Journey may go on hiatus after 2016
MANILA, Philippines–American rock band Journey may go on a two- to three-year hiatus after they finish their commitments with entertainment company Live Nation Entertainment in 2016, said Filipino frontman Arnel Pineda.
"We might take a break after 2016, and who knows what will happen after that," he told the Inquirer during his launch as the ambassador of Puregold's "Tindahan ni Aling Puring" campaign Friday.
Asked if the band will resume touring after the hiatus, Pineda said he wasn't certain. "It depends if there's still a demand for us to be up onstage . . . If there's clamor from fans for us to perform in different places, then we'll go out…We'll cross that bridge when we get to it," Pineda added.
The 45-year-old Filipino rock star, who joined Journey in 2007, has been in the country for a little over a month after holding shows in Singapore, Japan, New Zealand and Australia earlier this year. Pineda is currently preparing for a series of gigs in the United Kingdom and Germany, which kicks off May 16.
Pineda said that he'll probably spend the break promoting his solo album, which he's currently working on. "I already have 12 songs which I've recorded in my home studio," he related.
Meanwhile, he explained the reason behind cancellation of Journey's Manila concert that was supposed to be held on March 21 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City. "It's because of sluggish ticket sales. I think it was just wrong timing—kids were graduating and people were preparing for Holy Week."
"I was disappointed because I was very much looking forward to [the show]," Pineda said, adding that the Manila concert may push through in 2015. "But I hope we can do it sooner."

It is completely baffling that C.B. Buckner continues to be employed as an MLB umpire. He is the umpire known for making bad calls. How can you keep someone employed when they do their job wrong that often?Hide replies
Easy look at Ron Roienke and Melvin, throw in Weeks
They lost!
The Brewers finish the 2013 season with a 74- 88 record. Not as bad as we though at the end of May.
74-88. It felt much more painful than that.
I was two years old wheb the Brewers were in the world series, and neither of my parents were born yet when Milwaukee was home to a world series championship. Do you think it will ever happen for me???
This is a badly run organization. Doug melvin is a old GM. RR cant manage, bad pitching coach and right on down the line. If weeks dont get hurt wwe never see Scooter. Now they are all comming back. Yippee maybe 90 losses next year. Please Mr. Antinosio CLEAN HOUSE. IF YOU DONT ATTENDANCE WILL CRASH NEXT YEAR ALONG WITH THIS REGIME.Hide replies
I agree with everything you said except except maybe the pitching coach. The starting pitching was great this year, maybe it was because of Lohse working with the young guys, who knows, I would can Kranitz until I knew for sure.
Lohse is credited for working with thornburg, said it was something duncan showed him in st. louis, kranitz a joke
Marco Estrada finishes the season with a 3.87 ERA, and a sparkling 1.08 WHIP. He'll be in the rotation next year joining Lohse, Gallardo, Peralta, and Thornburg. Pretty nice going into the offseason knowing all 5 starters for next year!
Also, having starters Nelson, Burgos, Hellweg, Heckathorn, Jungmann, and Pena in Nashville will be nice backup when needed.
how fitting, Brewers lose on bad plays, no run support and apparently poor skills again. First inning. EY steals second, EY steals third. Anyone (coaches) think he was likely to run ??? Aoki catches a short fly and makes a good throw to home. LUC is standing in front of home plate, like he most often does (coaches) and misses EY who would have been out if LUC was in position, according to Uek.So they're all coming back plus Mike G. who guided Nashville AAA to last place. The brass is disappointed so we bring them all back....it's more comfortable says RR. Of course it is Ron, no one gets emotional....see video of Terry Pendleton addressing Braves player in the dugout.
Really disappointing to see Sedar coming back to coach third. more free outs for the opposition.

Originally written on Steelers Depot | Last updated 11/4/14
During his talk with the media on Saturday, Pittsburgh Steelers linebackers coach Keith Butler was asked if 2013 was a make or break year for fourth-year linebacker Stevenson Sylvester. "No doubt for him," said Butler. "He knows that. That is something I talked to him about at the end of the season. I talked to all of them about this at the end of the season. It doesn't matter the reason that you are not on the field. If you are hurt like LaMarr Woodley, he was hurt. It doesn't matter the reason that he wasn't on the field, he just wasn't on the field. "We have to remedy where that Read more [...]

LOS ANGELES – When the Lakers came home needing to win Games 6 and 7 of the NBA Finals to save their season, Phil Jackson went really old school.
He spliced the comedic inspirational speech from John Belushi's "Bluto" character in the movie "Animal House" in the team's video scouting. Considering Derek Fisher is the only Laker old enough even to have been born at the time of that movie's 1978 release, it was a curious choice.
" 'Over'? Did you say 'over'?" Bluto howls. "Nothing is over until we decide it is!"
Game 6 saw the Lakers play like animals back in their house, pouncing on the Celtics en route to a blowout victory.
Game 7 dialed in to the true message.
"We did it with perseverance," Jackson said afterward.
So a rally from 13 points down happened. A championship came down to the final steps of the marathon, and the Lakers had the better lean into the finish.
