BEAUMONT - If Wednesday's preseason coaches' poll is any indication, the Southland Conference East Division will be a wide-open race as five of the six schools received at least one first place vote.
Lamar, which is coming off a 14-18 overall record and a 5-11 SLC mark, was picked to finish fourth in the East Division (44 points) despite receiving two first place votes. Northwestern State (45), which got only one first place vote, edged the Cardinals for third in the voting.
LU will open the regular season next Friday night at 7:05 when Lyon College visits the Montagne Center. The Cardinals will play an intrasquad scrimmage on Thursday night (Nov. 4) at 7:30 which is open to the public.
The Cardinals return four starters off of last year's team and six letterwinners overall. Fifth-year head coach Steve Roccaforte will add the nation's ninth-best recruiting class according to hoopscooponline.com as Lamar makes a run at the SLC Tournament.
"I think this conference over the last five is very, very competitive," said Roccaforte. "There are a lot of good coaches and a lot of good players and the league has picked up wins over several bigger conference teams. I think it's going to be a dogfight in the Southland Conference this year."
Nicholls received five first place votes in the coaches' poll and was picked first in the East Division with 53 points. Southeastern Louisiana was just behind in the voting after garnering three first place votes and 52 points. McNeese State, which had the other first place vote, was selected fifth (36) with Central Arkansas chosen sixth (16).
The sports information directors' poll was nearly the same with Nicholls and SLU swapping places for first and second. The next four spots were chosen in the same order as the coaches' poll.
Stephen F. Austin, winner of two of the last three SLC regular season titles, was chosen first in the West Division with eight first place votes and 62 points. Sam Houston State (51) earned two first place votes, while Texas State (46) and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (35) were each picked first one time. UTSA (28) and UT Arlington (24) rounded out the West Division.
East (First-place votes) Points 1. Nicholls (5) 53 2. Southeastern Louisiana (3) 52 3. Northwestern State (1) 45 4. Lamar (2) 44 5. McNeese State (1) 36 6. Central Arkansas 16

provided for peer review of certain kinds of research (e.g., high-risk research, nontherapeutic research involving patients, and research involving healthy volunteers). They also directed attention to ethical questions in the review of research. According to Faden and Beauchamp, "[o]fficials at the Center expected these procedures to set the standard for other institutions … but [this] pioneering venture was an isolated and largely ignored event" (1986, p. 202). For example, as Faden and Beauchamp reported, a survey by researchers at Boston University, which was supported by a federal grant and published in 1962, suggested that few research centers had guidelines for clinical research or even accepted the concept of committee review of protocols.
With respect to research involving children, the 1995 report of the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments stated that "in the 1940s and 1950s there were apparently no written rules of professional ethics for pediatric research in general" (ACHRE, 1995, p. 203).11 In summarizing the discussion during a 1961 conference on Social Responsibility in Pediatric Research, the same report observed that it was not uncommon for "pediatric patients to be used as subjects of nontherapeutic research without the permission of their parents" (ACHRE, 1995, p. 202). The report also noted that some researchers, including researchers who failed to get parental permission, recognized that this was unethical (see Box 1.2).
In 1962, the U.S. Congress passed legislation that expanded the scope of FDA's authority by passing amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (P.L. 87-781). The legislation included provisions that required investigators to obtain a subject's consent to the use of an experimental drug unless it was not feasible or was not in the subject's best interest (at Section 501(i)(4)). Four years later, the FDA commissioner issued explicit regulations providing for consent to participation in research, "at least partially in recognition of the widespread failure of the industry to obtain [it]" (Glantz, 1992, pp. 183–200; see also the discussion in Faden and Beauchamp, 1986).
After years of debate within NIH about the balance between ethical principles and scientific inquiry, the U.S. Surgeon General issued policy statements in 1966 that significantly expanded the conceptualization and application of informed consent for external clinical research funded by

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsProject Vehicles
Ford Mustang Clutch Masters Drivetrain Upgrade - Project ProCharged Pony - Geared, Gripped And Ready To Rip
Putting the power to the ground is easy with help from Clutch Masters.
Step By StepView Photo Gallery
Failure is not a good thing. Especially when you have the highest hopes prior to its occurrence. We were hoping to put down some blistering elapsed times with our ProCharged Mustang GT, but the combination of molasses-like BFGoodrich drag radials and 330 rwhp proved to be too much for the stock replacement clutch that had been living in the trans tunnel for the past few years.
In the August 2003 issue of Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords, we installed a complete street/strip exhaust system from Bassani, and when we went to the track to test it out, the clutch slipped; a problem only exacerbated with the addition of drag radials. For that reason, we never got back to the dyno to check our results. By the time we got the new clutch installed, we were again unable to get to the dyno as our story deadline and other scheduling issues arose. We were, however, able to bring you some track results, which is quite amazing given the monsoon spring that we had. Before we do that, let's take a look at Clutch Masters, and how they were able to put all of our supercharged power to the ground.
Like our recently installed Bassani exhaust system, we wanted a clutch that would be capable of handling even more horsepower than the motor currently produces. After all, we're horsepower junkies just like you and if 330 is great, 500 is better. That being said, we contacted Clutch Masters of Rialto, California, and asked them what they recommended for our combination.
Clutch Masters has a disk for just about everything and every power level. Its FX 100 starts out with an organic clutch disk along with a diaphragm pressure plate that uses the company's high-leverage system. The high-leverage pressure plate is designed to eliminate crank walk and thus thrust bearing failures. The higher leverage action also allows the use of a heavier clamping pressure, without the heavy pedal to push.
Stage 2 moves up to a Kevlar clutch disk, and Stage 3 uses a segmented Kevlar disk for even greater power-holding capability. "The segmented design traps air, and that air gap allows the disk to handle more power" said Clutch Masters Manager Lonny Futch. "Kevlar also lasts two-to-three times longer than an organic impregnated disk." The FX 300 uses the same high-leverage pressure plate and still offers a smooth clutch engagement for good drivability.
In our February 2003 issue, David Vizard tested Clutch Master's aluminum flywheel on three different cars and came away with promising results. After talking with Lonny, we felt it would be best (both safety-wise and performance-wise) if we replaced our stock 140,000-mile steel flywheel with one of Clutch Master's lightweight units.
This two-piece flywheel meets SFI spec 1.1 or 1.2, and uses a backing plate made from 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum and an A36 steel clutch surface for weight savings and better wear characteristics. Included with the flywheel are both 28 and 50oz counterweights (used according to your rotating assembly) that are secured to the flywheel via the provided hardware. An OEM-style ring gear is also employed and secured to the flywheel with removable bolts. Think of it as a modular flywheel. Each part is independently replaceable. You can purchase the clutch and flywheel separately, but we opted for the discounted clutch/flywheel package, which sells for $715.
Installation is no different than with any other clutch and flywheel system. Clutch Masters includes the clutch alignment tool, throw-out bearing, pilot bearing, and of course, the clutch itself. Dan Ryder of Danny's Pro Performance in Keyport, New Jersey, handled the installation. The job would have taken just a couple of hours, but having to remove the slip collectors on both sides of our long tube headers and loosen them on the passenger side to get the bellhousing out took extra time. If you have shorties, you'll be done quicker than you can say sidestep.
While you're replacing the clutch, it is a good time to inspect the bearing retainer on the transmission and change the fluid in the unit. When we pulled the transmission out, part of the bearing retainer slid out and got lodged in the clutch mechanism. Luckily, Danny had a new steel bearing retainer that we could throw on. We also drained the fluid from the T-5 and filled it with Castrol synthetic ATF. This will help the trans live a little longer under the punishment of our supercharged steed.

They suck for those directly affected – those who have lost a child, or friend, and are experiencing grief – but they also suck for those of us who are trying to figure out how to process it. How to talk about it… with others, with our kids.
It's almost impossible to know where the line is between being overly morbid and depressed vs. looking callous by not letting it affect you.
I want to be sensitive. I do. But I'm often not. I don't think we get anywhere constructive by being "sensitive". We'd just be wallowing in feelings.
Someone has to have the presence of mind to say, "STOP IT!!"
So I've turned the news off the last few days because there is nowhere constructive that they're going to go with this situation. There is nowhere in our news media, or social media like Twitter for that matter, where there is any focus on what God's intentions are for what happened in Connecticut – or what happens every day of the year all over the globe where tragedies occur that don't move the emotional needle one iota for us.
There is nothing in our human power that we can control to avert every tragedy. We try, but clearly we fail. And will always fail. Because other people's decisions are not yours or mine to control.
There are no laws that have ever stopped an accident, or a criminal or an unstable mind.
So, I'm all for sharing the message of hope that God has for us all – that He loves you and me and our kids, and despite the horribleness of this world (which, by the way, He knows full well and was born into it in days worse than the ones we're in now) I'm thankful that in the middle of those terrible things we experience we can join the heavenly angels singing, as they did then…
"Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men".
So we turn to the story of the babe in a manger. The little innocent baby, full of promise and wonder, who lived to die to save a world that has always been His all along.
Not ours.
It's in Him that our hope lies. The more people who are talking about what THAT means (every single person on his or her face repenting before God) instead of how many new laws we can pass or what people we can place under government control is where we can be constructive.

Apple versus Geräte-Zoo. Eine Grafik, die mehr aussagt als die pauschale Gegenüberstellung von Android OS und iOS.
Ursprünglich veröffentlicht auf 9to5Mac:
Nielsen released smartphone purchasing data yesterday that depicted Apple grabbing more than a third of the total smartphone market in the most recently surveyed month. Android was over 50 percent. That is almost 85 percent of the market together, which is a striking number (and over 90 percent in the last three months). But, you would not know it when looking at Nielsen's graph:
RIM at 9 percent seems to have almost the same share as Apple. Windows Mobile, Windows 7, Symbian, and Palm only come up with 5.8-percent of the market, but together they have a much larger piece of the pie than Apple. Well, we did a little Photoshopping and put their portions into proportion (Again, the disparity is growing with iOS and Android now over 90 percent):
^That is an entirely different story.

Complete, absolute, and utter garbage.
I bought two of these masks. The elastic snapped immediately the first time I tried to put the first one on, and the second one had a cut below the eye almost entirely through the foam.
It's also really small. Would not work for the width of an adult face.

I spent the day at Xfest in Melbourne, Florida. First I have to say I really like the engineers that use FPGAs. They may not have had any exposure to PSoC but they immediately get programmable systems and the also don't seem to mind paying a lot of money for a single chip solution. These are my kind of people.
I took the scenic road back way to Orlando. I passed a place called "Lone Cabbage Fish Camp and Restaurant" in Coca Florida. With a name like that there is no way I can resist stopping. If I had got there a half earlier I could have taken a ride on one of those fan-powered swamp boats. Damn! Still I was able to get the catfish, gator, and frog leg special. It included hush puppies and fries in case you did not get your fill on deep fry. Top that with a beer and I am in carbohydrate heaven.

This is an odd occurrence that does happen fairly regularly I am busily
writing code and I will hit enter to finish a line and I will get no
response and the msg "enterRPG" is not a valid editor action. To get
past this I have to one of a few things. Close the source object
(sometimes I am able to save it sometimes not) or shut down RSE and
restart. Sometimes I can't shut down normally and have to take the Task
manager route. It is not all the time, but if this was happening in SEU
it would be intolerable. It seems that the longer I work in the Windows
environment the more tolerant I become of things that should not be
tolerated. It still amazes me that companies put so much trust in a
system (Windows) that still acts as a beta test after so many years. I
don't remember these problems back in the Remote card systems, punch
board programming, 80 column card account 96 column card system 3.
Granted, there has been phenomenal progress in technology, but I fear
there has also been a loss of pride in program writing. We expect
things to not always work like advertised and that is a shame.
Anyway has anyone else experienced this issue, or should I report it to
the WDSc black hole of official problem reporting?

It's time to take action because of the amount of crime gangs commit. The gang population is increasing. Statistics show that Maryland has more than 200 gangs with more than 1,000 gang members. Naming a few, Bloods, Crips and MS-13 have been around for many years and have been taking part to some vicious, cruel and ruthless crimes, sometimes costing innocent people their lives.

Jonah Hill got the cover of Heeb magazine this fall, but it looks like I could have had it if I had played my cards right.
Comic foil appeal—check
Lumberjack beard—check ... wait ... just shaved ... uncheck
Lubed bagel—ummm, pass
More significantly, Hill says he met his sort-of sugar daddy Seth Rogen while sitting behind him during "The Life Aquatic" at The Grove. I was at that movie, at that theater, but probably not on the same night.
Oh well. I hated "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" anyway.
(For those doubting my cred, check out my "dancing" in N.E.R.D.'s "Rockstar" video.)

Muslims are Gujarat's new outcastes: Survey (DNA)
"The 2002 communal riots not only drove Muslims into new ghettos all over the state, they also reduced them to the status of second-class citizens who do not seem to exist for the government. This is the finding of a city-based NGO, Janvikas, which conducted a survey on the status of the minority community in the state after the riots.
"The survey has revealed that Muslims are the new outcastes who, more often than not, are denied basic facilities which are available to people of other communities. Not only that. It appears that this neglect of the community is officially sanctioned for the riot victims find no mention in government records as people who need help. [...]
"About 16,000 Muslims displaced by the riots are still living in relief colonies that are denied even the most basic amenities.
"The 83 relief colonies that were built after the riots are almost all located in Muslim-majority areas. Fifteen of them are situated in Ahmedabad and the support they receive from the state government is negligible. [...]
"There has also been a sharp decline in the earnings of almost every displaced individual. The survey has revealed that the average annual income of displaced Muslims in Ahmedabad has come down by 31% as compared to their income before the riots."

The bag can be reused for years and, when empty, folds flat for efficient storage. The 23-gallon size is perfect for four Eggplants or two Peppers. Be sure to choose a location that receives sun all day, as once you fill the bag with potting mix, it will not be easy to move. Bag measures 21in wide, 14in tall.

Chateau Morrisette Winery announces the appointment of internationally acclaimed winemaker Brian Cheeseborough as Oenologist and Winemaker.
Cheeseborough has an extensive winemaking background along with a collection of award-winning wines. Most recently, he produced wines for Vignobles Garcin, a collection of five Chateaux located in France's Bordeaux region, including Chateau Barde Haut, a St. Emilion Grand Cru Classe. His wines have consistently received ratings in the nineties from both Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate. The 2012 Clos l'Eglise from Pomerol was rated 92-95 points. Additionally, he represented the family and wines with the Union des Grand Crus & Cercle Rive Droite throughout France, North America, and Asia. Also, he has traveled annually to Mendoza for the Malbec harvest, serving as principle winemaker for Bodega Poesia, the family's Argentina venture. Again, his Argentinian wines scored above 93 points with the leading wine journals.
Prior to his winemaker's post in Bordeaux, Cheeseborough served as the founding winemaker and business partner for Grizzly Republic, a California winery where he produced numerous award-winning wines, including the 2006 Tempranillo from El Dorado, which won three gold medals, a "Best of Class" at the 2009 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, and a Platinum award from the Wine Critic's Challenge in San Diego. In 2011, he and his business partners sold Grizzly Republic.
Before becoming a winemaker, Cheeseborough worked in commercial real estate acquisitions and finance. After 9/11, he transitioned into the winemaking profession as an oenologist, associate winemaker, and export winemaker in Sonoma and Paso Robles. He holds a degree from University of California, Irvine and has completed post baccalaureate and graduate studies at California State University, Fresno.

Developing a strong core can help seniors maintain flexibility for longer and protect the back from injury and alleviate pain. The core muscles consist of the abdominal and back muscles, the back and the pelvis. Exercises that strengthen the core muscles will help stabilise the back and make every day activities much easier to tolerate.
Core extensions are performed while lying on your stomach and extending the arms and legs. Stretch and strengthen the core muscles by lifting the right arm and left leg at the same time. Hold for a count of 6, relax and repeat on the opposite sides. The exercise needs to be performed about six times on each side to get the maximum benefits.
Raised Knees
While still on your back, stretch the core muscles by raising the knees to work your lower back. Keep your knees bent, pressing your back into the mat. Raise your knees toward your chest and grab them with your hands, pulling them closer to your chest for additional resistance. The raised knee exercise not only stretches and loosens up the lower back, it also compresses the abdominals and works the arm muscles. Hold on to the knees for a count of 6 and lower your feet, repeat the move six times.
Dead Bug
Once on the floor, you can roll over onto your back to perform the dead bug
exercise that will work on the abdominal muscles. Dead bugs are much easier to do than crunches that can strain the back and often are difficult for seniors with other medical disabilities. Once on the back, bend your knees so that your feet are flat on the floor. Extend your arms straight up. You should tighten your abdomen as your begin to scissor your arms in the air for about 30 seconds. Take a break and then raise your knees so they form a 90-degree angle. Repeat the arm-scissoring motion with knees raised.
The Cobra
The cobra is a standard core exercise for people of all ages. It is particularly useful for aging seniors who often get stiff in the back and pelvis areas. You need to roll back over onto your stomach to do the cobra. Get in position by placing your hands beneath your shoulders. Raise the front part of your body by extending your arms to full extension. Arch the back to feel the pull along the front of your abdominal region and in the front of your hips. Lean your head back slightly to add additional resistance to the exercise, careful not to strain the neck muscles. Slowly reverse the position by lowering the head first and then the arms. Rest for a couple seconds and repeat two or three times.

Happy Earth Day! In honor of our amazing planet, it seems only fitting that we think about ways to "reduce, reuse, recycle" today, and it's easy to do--even in jewelry making! Yes, even jewelry making can be a very environmentally friendly hobby.
Antique Shoe Buckle Braceletby Marilyn T. Aronson
On a recent post to our forums, a member asked about sharing jewelry supplies. I was so impressed by the clever and creative list of found objects for jewelry making that Jewelry Making Daily member Luv2CUSmile provided in response, I've been anxiously awaiting the right time to share with you.
1. any old coated wire: strip it off or even use it as-is for a base to wire onto
2. old guitar strings for stringing and the little "beads" that hold them on as spacers
3. old game pieces: a great treasure to use as-is or alter with paint, kitchen foil, etc.
4. marbles: check out how to get the crackle-glass effect with basic marbles and then wire-wrap them (cage them) to make your own very unique beads and focal pieces
5. bottle caps: a bit of paint, glue, glitter, etc. to alter how you like
Captured Objects by Linda Larsen
7. paper beads also are a big hit again and can be made so easily with recycled paper, magazines, etc.; the different glazes or varnishes used really make them look almost like glass
8. found tools/hardware findings: as beads, focal pieces, clasps, etc.; use as-is or alter them in many ways
9. leather/pleather from old belts, purses and straps: as a base for bracelets, chokers, etc.
10. cereal, cracker, pasta boxes: cut unique shapes from the cardboard and then layer up with glue, tissue paper, paint, etc.; then coat with Future, Mod Podge, glaze or other sealer for a great focal piece (editor's note: tins work great too and don't require so much layering, gluing, and sealing, just a little sanding on the edges)
There's enough stuff there (and lying around just about anyone's house) to make enough jewelry for days--and imagine how far it can go when you mix all those things with your own stash of jewelry-making supplies! Besides the obvious rewards of being earth friendly, reusing stuff I have laying around the house makes me feel a little better about spending so much on metal and fancy hammers.
It's a great list, but maybe you need a little more inspiration to get you going? Here are my top picks for making mixed-media and found-object jewelry with expert jewelry artists. Click on any of them to learn more.
Required Materials
16 gauge bronze wire 22- or 24-gauge bronze sheet metal Object to capture Silk and various fibers Chain-nose pliers Sharpie fine-tip permanent marker Flush cutters Polishing and filing tools Center punch Renaissance Wax Metal shears or jeweler's saw Dapping set and punches Hole-punch pliers or drill bit and flex shaft Torch Hammer Bench block

Yet another Super Isol Question
Hi all,
I recently purchased all the gear I need for my oven, including the insulating board to go under my floor tiles. I am wondering however, since the plans call for 2 inches of super isol and the board i have is only one inch thick, do I need to double up on my board to get the required thickness? I purchased the stuff from Darley in Victoria, Australia. Anyone else do the same and have the same question? Or perhaps you just went ahead with the board the way it was? If anyone can let me knnow it would be great thanks.
Re: Yet another Super Isol Question
I would be tempted to go up to 2" if it isn't too expensive. The labor/effort is almost zero, and I think your oven would do a better job of holding heat in the cooking floor.
Re: Yet another Super Isol Question
I agree with James, this is something you can't change later. I've bought into the extra insulation and have 3" insul. board underneath and have bought ceramic blanket that should provide 3" of dome coverage. Two benefits I believe will be are less wood required to heat the dome and that the heat will be retained for a longer time. My two cents.

Publisher's Description
Abandon dead, dry, rule-keeping and embrace the promise of being truly known and deeply loved.
Jefferson Bethke burst into the cultural conversation in 2012 with a passionate, provocative poem titled Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus. The 4-minute video literally became an overnight sensation, with 7 million YouTube views in its first 48 hours (and 23+ million in a year). The message blew up on social-media, triggering an avalanche of responses running the gamut from encouraged to enraged.
In Jesus > Religion, Bethke unpacks similar contrasts that he drew in the poemhighlighting the difference between teeth gritting and grace, law and love, performance and peace, despair and hope. With refreshing candor he delves into the motivation behind his message, beginning with the unvarnished tale of his own plunge from the pinnacle of a works-based, fake-smile existence that sapped his strength and led him down a path of destructive behavior.Bethke is quick to acknowledge that hes not a pastor or theologian, but simply a regular, twenty-something who cried out for a life greater than the one for which he had settled. Along his journey, Bethke discovered the real Jesus, who beckoned him beyond the props of false religion.
Author Bio
Jefferson Bethke is the author of New York Times bestseller Jesus > Religion. Bethkes message connects at a heart level with an audience ranging from atheists to nationally recognized religious leaders. He lives in Maui, Hawaii.

He also gives a good description of what we should consider to be a church. It would certainly be good reading for someone who makes the claim that they are a Christian based on the perspective that he describes in this book.

I think that book is even better for a non believer who may struggle with accepting Christ because of how the 21st Century church and the media has painted Christianity out to be. Great book.

However, on the reverse the store I shop for Bibles, etc had it marked to $3.99. It is like a diamond in the rough. His story of making his GF an idol really struck home. It brought to mind the people who jumped out of windows and put pistols to their heads when the stock market crashed in 1929. Those who did so were so identified with their wealth, that when their wealth was "gone" there was no point in their being around anymore. They seem to have forgotten we enter this life with "nothing". We may have rich parents but we bring nothing with us and we leave taking nothing with us. I learned long ago that it was "religion" that killed Christ. Taking that a step further it was also "us" who by our sinful lives crucified Christ. There are some people who think that belonging to the "right" church or having the "right" religion is what will determine if they are judged to be welcomed into the Kingdom of Heaven or "cast out" into outer darkness. The words of Jesus make it clear that the way to destruction is wide and broad and many will go there while straight and narrow is the way that leads to life and few will find it. After reading this book one needs to re-read "Proverbs and Ecclesiastes"(boy I had to look up that spelling) and remember what conclusions Solomon came to. All of us are just "passing through". Just look at any cemetery as you drive by. Most of us will not be remembered 100 years from now and anything and everything we ever had will be in someone else's hands.

I read it through fairly quickly, and as I often do, I re-read it again, more slowly and thoughtfully. I STILL didnt get it. I believe that Mr. Bethke was trying to tell the readers, that we are to trust in Jesus, not church/denomination rules and regulations..

The Kardashians
Pregnant Kim Kardashian Boasts Both Baby Bump and Bubble Butt on Instagram (PHOTO)
What's bigger: belly or butt?
That's the question jewelry designer Lorraine Schwartz posed as she posted the Instagram pic of friend Kim Kardashian we're showing below.
On one hand, the 32-year-old's belly seems to be expanding exponentially. Seriously, how close to her due date is she? Because she looks like a balloon on the verge of popping.
On the other, the reality star has always been known for the junk she's sporting in the trunk, if you know what we mean. So much so that we have to wonder if Jennifer Lopez might sue for infringement.
What do you think? Which is bigger? Sound off with the blue buttons below.

Irish politician Alan Shatter TD, is our Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence. The following statement appeared in the news today -
In his role as the Minister for Time, Mr Alan Shatter TD, says all the necessary arrangements have been made to make sure Santa delivers his presents on time.
"I want to assure children across Ireland that all necessary arrangements have been made to facilitate the timely arrival of Santa Claus on Christmas Day," Mr Shatter said.
Santa and his reindeer will be helped by gardai, the army and the weather forecasters to guarantee a punctual arrival, Mr Shatter assured Irish girls and boys.
When he comes over the horizon late on Christmas Eve, he may also be sighted by the Irish Air Corps Radar System, Mr Shatter said.
"No excess baggage travel charges will be imposed on the sacks full of presents it is anticipated Santa will have on his sleigh."
"Both An Garda Síochána and members of the Defence Forces stand ready on alert to provide him with any assistance required to ensure that all his reindeer, including Rudolph, are properly fed and watered."
The weather forecasters will be letting Santa know about any bad weather, to help him arrive safely to Ireland.
"As chairperson of the government task force on emergency planning, I have asked Met Éireann to ensure that a speedy response be given to any requests Santa makes for information on any threatened extreme weather conditions that could impede his progress."
"Because of the speedy manner in which he goes about his business and the common travel area between Ireland and the UK, it is anticipated that Santa Claus will deliver his Christmas presents throughout Ireland and the UK in the blink of an eye."
We has our own time lord
I wish you all here the very best Christmas, Happy Holidays, Mid Winter Festival or whatever you all want it to be <3

There's an interesting post by Advanced Systems Group that provides the top-level costs they were able to derive from an internal study they did to compare public and private cloud implementations. It's the start of a good discussion (questions/comments I posted are still in moderation).
Their post compares three different cloud options from a cost perspective: 1) Public Cloud from Amazon EC2; 2) Purchased Private Cloud infrastructure; and 3) Leased private cloud infrastructure.
All three systems were based around the equivalent of (using AWS parlance) 10 Extra Large CPU instances, 60 Large CPU instances, and 30 Small CPU instances.
The cost calculations were run by ASG over 3 years assuming an increase of 15% in compute demand, and not accounting for depreciation.
When ASG noted in an answer to a comment that all instances are assumed to be running 24/7 my curiosity was piqued to drill in a little bit. The problem is, solely comparing private and public based upon 100% utilization removes one of the most compelling reason for the cloud - a pay-as-you-use model. It skews the conclusion from the start. (How many data centers run at 100% utilization anyway?)
Also, from a rough calculation, we can see that their Amazon numbers appeared to be based upon the cost of On-Demand Instances. 24/7 utilization over a three year period is not a cost effective use model for the On-Demand pricing model.
Performing a straight hardware costs calculation, (I'm assuming that ASG were adding in some additional costs for storage and data transfers to get to their top line numbers, as I couldn't get there from a simple calculation. Their 3Yr cumulative cost for the Public Cloud scenario was slightly over $1M, where as mine below came in slightly under), I got the following top line numbers for an On-Demand instance scenario (the least economical). For completeness, I also added in the two more sensible scenarios of either a rolling 1 Year Reserved Instance model or a one-time 3 Year Instance model.
And so, taking these basic calculations in isolation of all other considerations, we can see that from a purely hardware resource expenditure perspective, a Public Cloud implementation is roughly the same or even less than a private cloud implementation.
However, this is still only part of the story. As mentioned, a key draw to public cloud computing is the elasticity of the model - Pay-as-you-Use. And so, considering a selection of rough percentage utilizations, we get the following breakdown of the different hardware costs of a public cloud implementation.
The comparison relative to utilization becomes even more stark when charted.
Not only is AWS more economical over utilization rates over extended periods, but it provides flexibility. For example, if the software used on the servers is upgraded (as is likely) and hardware requirements increase (equally likely, given history), moving an image (AMI) from a Small to a Large instance is straight forward (for an "IT guy"). No hardware needs to be thrown out or shipped in.
Additionally, there is some flexibility around migrating across business models. Of course, it is easier to upgrade than downgrade

Do you sigh when you see couples living it up in perfect wedding bliss? Do you envy couples who seem unable to get their hands off each other? Well, you are not alone. According to a report published in Newsweek, many couples in America and all around the world are not enjoying any sexual intimacy with their partners as much as they should. In fact, many Americans are living in a sexless marriage and probably see no way for this to change.
Living on a day to day basis in a sexless marriage can be sheer torture. This is because a long-term sexless marriage can really break your psyche to bits. This doesn't seem natural after all. The lack of intimacy can lead to:
- Breakdown of self esteem
- Feelings of resentment, sometimes leading to violence
- Feelings of depression sometimes leading to suicidal tendencies
- Feeling of loneliness and desperation
There are many reasons for a lack of intimacy in a marriage that was once the hotbed of strong emotions. It could be a lack of sex drive, medical problems, emotional blocks or age. Whatever the reason, you can still make your marriage work if that is what both of you want.
The first step is open communication. If the lack of intimacy is not by choice, then you need to dig deep for the reasons leading to it. You need to find ways in which you can reconnect. Find out what you can do to rekindle the romance in your relationship. Make your bed and your bedroom a place to relax and unwind. Do not bring work, PDAs, laptops or books into this private space.
Be brave and ready yourself for some harsh tones with your partner. It may be some harsh words that you will hear. However, hearing the truth can also be liberating and it is certainly the first step on the road to a possible improvement in the state of your marriage.
Another important thing is to use up excess energy in a creative manner so that you do not feel too frustrated. Exercise more and do things that you enjoy. Get out and have fun. Just letting go of the all-pervasive urge for sex may be the break you need.
Try to share common interests with your partner. Many couples fall off their sex lives simply because of lack of time. Find the time to be together in an intimate manner. Take the time to set the mood. Do not pass negative comments or ridicule your spouse's lack of interest. By diminishing your spouse, you are also demeaning yourself.
Never let your spouse or their lack of interest get you down. Focus on the positive and eliminate the negatives. It may take time to rebuild the intimacy in your marriage, so have patience.
Sexless marriages can be turned around. In fact, many couples have successfully done so and gone on to enjoy many years of fulfilling togetherness. At the end, it all depends on how much you want your marriage to work.

Toshiba Satellite A350D-202
SpecificationsNotebook: Toshiba Satellite A350D-202 (Satellite A350D Series)
Processor: AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM-80

Reviews for the Toshiba Satellite A350D-202
Source: Trusted Reviews
Toshiba's Satellite A350D-202 is an interesting alternative to its A350-11N, correcting some of the failings of 11N while shifting the focus to a machine that's more suitable as a desktop replacement and will even handle a bit of gaming. If this is what you're after, it's a good option, but the combination of worse CPU performance, mediocre battery life and a higher price mean there are pros and cons to consider first.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650: The Hd 3650 is a middle class graphics card (in 2008) and compareable to an 8600M GT GPU from Nvidia. It is fabricated in 55nm process and due to Avivo video engine the graphic card can support the processor with several video operations (HD video too).
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
AMD Turion X2 Ultra: The AMD Turion X2 Ultra is part of the Puma platform and a mixture of the old K9 core (form the Turion 64 X2) and some parts of the K10 architecture (memorycontroller, hypertransport, crossbar switch from the Phenom). Because of the increased L2 cache ("Ultra" CPUs) and the improved memory controller, the performance increased a bit. Still a similar clocked Core 2 Duo is noticably faster.
Mixture out of two K8 based cores and K10 uncores (e.g. memory controller). Offers improved power saving functions compared to older Turion CPUs but still not as good and fast as a Core 2 Duo. The ZM-80 is the slowest CPU of the ZM series and a entry level CPU in 2008.

16.0": 16 inch display-variants exist since 2008 and partially got the market share of 15 inch notebooks. The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
3 kg: This weight is average for notebooks. Therefore the numerous mass of laptops with 15 inch display fits in this class of weight.
Toshiba: Toshiba Corporation is a multinational conglomerate manufacturing company, headquartered in Japan. The company's main business is in Infrastructure, Consumer Products, and Electronic devices and components. Toshiba-made Semiconductors are among the Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales Leaders. Toshiba is one of the biggest international notebook-manufacturer. There exist many reviews for Toshiba models.
70%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.

- Constituent structure of a Tagalog text (2008)
- This paper is an inductive look at the constituents found in a randomly selected Tagalog text, Bob Ong's Alamat ng Gubat (Makati City, MM: Visual Print Enterprises, 2004). The analysis is based on the full text, but we will only be able to go through the first few lines of the text here, which we will do one by one, and discuss the structures found in each line of the text in bullet format after the relevant line. At the end of the paper we will bring up some important questions about the structures found in Tagalog based on this text.
- Questions on transitivity (2008)
- This handout (it isn't a paper) presents phenomena and questions, rather than conclusions, related to the concept of transitivity. The idea is to return to these questions at the end of the Workshop to see if we can have a clearer consensus about the best general analysis of phenomena associated with transitivity. Section 2 presents alternative analyses of transitivity and questions about transitivity in three languages I have worked on. Section 3 discusses a few of the different conceptualisations of transitivity that might be relevant to our thinking about the questions related to these languages or that bring up further questions. Section 4 presents some general questions that might be asked of individual languages.
