Re: 173.14.30 Fix needed pronto
I'm glad to finally find this thread. Took awhile.
I have the Go5700, runs great from my Windows partition but fails miserably with the 173.14.30 NVIDIA drivers. Icons are transparent and I have all sorts of other problems. My primary goal is to have Blender working with few or no bugs.
Two questions for the NVIDIA devs:
- If the problem isn't with the NVIDIA drivers then why do I have fewer problems with the Nouveau drivers? Icons are visible, power management states work (I can hibernate / suspend and resume with no problems!), and although I have some graphics issues, they don't cause major roadblocks.
- Is there a utility I can use to test all OpenGL features (and power management, it seems) to say with relative certainty "I guess they driver is solid!"? (I know this might be a Google search away, but I don't recall reading anyone that has done this. Maybe too obvious?)
Anyway, thanks for getting things to work so far. For what it's work, my specs are:
HP Notebook zd7260 w/ Go5700 chip (64mb) running on Ubuntu 11.04.
Here's a related thread in the Unity bug tracker. It's not clear where the problems are:

"The school currently receives $58.5 million in state aid, and approximately $40 million of that is foundation aid," Phillips said. "In the past year one third of the school districts received a three percent increase. In Liverpool, one percent is equivalent to $688,281."
On Nov. 12 New York State Governor David Paterson proposed a mid-year reduction in budgeted state aid for all school districts. The proposal results from the record-breaking deficit the state is facing for the current fiscal year. In September the state estimated the deficit was at approximately $1.2 billion and, if left untreated, would balloon to $47 billion over the next four years.
Liverpool and schools across the state face cuts to help ease the deficit. The administration estimates that if this new cutback proposal is passed by the state legislature, the district could lose approximately $2.6 million in state aid. As a result the school board is in the process of developing ideas for cutting funds in feasible areas, Superintendent Jan Matousek said in a release on the school's website.
Even after the proposed $585 million in cuts for this year there are no signs of the financial troubles letting up. Paterson's proposal calls for another $844 million in cuts next year. The district is currently attempting to find ways to target unnecessary spending, such as reduce energy usage, rather than cutting educational programs, Phillips said.
Law firms interviewed
The new district counsel for which the district is searching to replace the O'Hara, O'Connell & Ciotoli law firm was a topic of brief discussion. According to the state comptroller's report the school district paid the firm $659,943 over an 18-month span and did not had a contract with the firm that represented the school for more than 40 years.
On Nov. 19 the school board held a special three-hour meeting to interview three law firms they are considering. Each firm was given and hour time slot for an interview and the three firms were Hiscock & Barclay, Ferrara, Fiorenza, Larrison, Barrett & Reitz, and lastly Bond, Schoeneck & King.
"The school is still in the process of making a decision," Board of Education President J. Mark Lawson said. "But all of these firms could represent the school well."

Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan — constitutionally guaranteed to pay for your beneficiary's tuition and required fees.
The state will honor all Texas Tomorrow Fund or Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan contracts to pay for a beneficiary's college tuition and required fees.
See Comptroller Glenn Hegar's letter to leadership about funding these benefits.
View Information about Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan Distributions and IRS FORM 1099-Q
Online account access for TGTP students:
Students now have the ability to view their Distribution History and Benefit Balance as well as print Enrollment Verification Letters. Access your account.
2015-2016 hourly reimbursement rates for the Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan (TGTP) will be considered for approval by The Texas Prepaid Higher Education Tuition Board at their August meeting, tentatively scheduled for August 18, 2015. No Fall 2015 distributions will be processed prior to that date. Rates will be posted to the website as soon as they are approved by the Board. If your beneficiary will be using your TGTP account to attend a college or university this Fall, you should notify the college or university that you will be using the plan as payment for your tuition and required fees.
While most Texas public and private colleges and universities will pre-credit the student's account for tuition and required fees for the hours to be covered by the plan pending receipt of payment from TGTP, you should coordinate with in-state or out-of-state schools to verify whether they will pre-credit your beneficiary's student account and if not, whether you need to pay any amounts due prior to their payment deadline in order to avoid cancellation of your beneficiary's classes. Even though the school may pre-credit your beneficiary's student account for tuition and required fees, they may not pre-credit the account for expenses that are not covered by the plan such as course-specific fees, books, and room and board or hours in excess of the hours available on your TGTP account. You must pay any costs not covered by the plan by the school's payment deadline to avoid cancellation of your beneficiary's classes.
2014-2015 Academic Year average tuition and required fee rates effective Fall 2014 – Summer 2015
(These rates are based on the plan type you purchased)
- $90.26 for junior college plan hours
- $286.71 for senior college plan hours
- $765.68 for private college plan hours
2013-2014 Academic Year average tuition and required fee rates effective Fall 2013 – Summer 2014
(These rates are based on the plan type you purchased)
- $87.58 for junior college plan hours
- $273.15 for senior college plan hours
- $739.78 for private college plan hours
Important Information Regarding the Value of Your TGTP Contract for Financial Aid Purposes
The Plan cannot determine and makes no representation as to what effect, if any, a Contract may have on future state, federal, institutional, or private financial aid eligibility of any Beneficiary. The receipt of, or potential for receipt of, distributions or refunds under a Contract may affect a Beneficiary's qualification for or receipt of such financial aid. The Purchaser should contact the financial aid office at the Beneficiary's eligible educational institution for information on financial aid award procedures.
Texas law provides that assets in an account may not be considered in determining eligibility for Texas state-funded student financial aid.
529 Plan Tax Exemption Becomes Permanent
The exemption from federal income tax for withdrawals from Internal Revenue Code Section 529 plans that are used for qualified tuition expenses was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2010. The Pension Protection Act (H. R. 4), which was recently passed by Congress and signed by President Bush on August 17, 2006, made the exemption permanent. This exemption applies to all Qualified Tuition Plans, such as the Texas Guaranteed Tuition Plan (TGTP).
This is not a financial investment vehicle. The public purpose of the Plan as defined in statute is to assist young Texans in obtaining a higher education.
TGTP cannot provide investment or tax advice, and the foregoing information should not be construed as legal, financial, or tax advice with respect to the consequences for any particular individual as a result of the purchase of or distribution from a TGTP prepaid tuition contract. This information is not a substitute for discussing your particular situation with a tax professional or the IRS.

Bend to Cedarville 600+ miles in 2 days mostly dirt.

And nary a pic
This trip was actually three days of paradise for me. I had just worked something like 21 days with one day off, and had been looking forward to this for over a month, when Greg mentioned a big ride to Cedarville.
I wrapped up work on Thursday night, got up at about 5:30 a.m. on Friday morning to make sure there werent any work related crisises to take care of, did some general office work until about 9:00 a.m. and then had nothing more to do. It was a real weird feeling.
So I thought I do what I like to do best, travel down through the valley and visit my friends. So I hooked up the little trailer to the trusty Toyota, loaded up the XR and my gear and headed south.
First stop was to see my friend Bill, at Bills Motorcycles Plus, the Husky Dealer in Salem. It is always good to see him and we talked about the motorcycle business, BMWs buyout of Husqvarna, and his other business, Mikes Cycle Parts for about an hour. If anyone needs a Husky, Bill is the guy to see. He is the largest volume Husqvarna dealer west of the Mississippi, and a simply great guy.
Second was a stop off to see my friend Gary Beyer at Gran Prix Cycle in Albany. I have known Gary for almost 20 years, and first met him when he had little more than a desk, wood stove, a chair and some empty racks with no inventory in the shop. Now the shop is bursting at the seams, and is what could now be considered a dont miss or destination shop when driving by.
My final stop in the valley to see my brother. He builds custom bicycle frames, is starting to build motorcycle frames, and I wanted to see the latest project. We ended up hanging out for quite a while and I ended up helping him disassemble a set of motorcycle forks and showing him how to shorten them for a bobber project hes working on.
So, it was getting near 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon and I needed to head over the mountains. I was going to drop off a tire for Taco250, but ran out of time (your tire is a Gregs house!). I stopped by Toms World of Weirdness, where there were about 7 guys sitting around drinking Busch Beer (or maybe it was Pabst), with classis rock blaring out in the shop. I was having a good conversation with Tom about the sorry ass state of vintage MX when the guy from across the parking lot came over and asked if anyone owned the yellow Toyota.
Why yes, that is mine, I said. Well, were are open and trying to run a business across the parking lot, and your truck is parked in the way, said our new friend. I replied, that since there were weeds growing in front of their roll up doors and the windows were all dirty, I though the place was vacant and out of business--sorry. Boy, the guy really didnt like that comment, screwed up his fact just like the Mexican Bandit in Treasure of the Sierra Madre and said, I kid you not, Weeds? Grass? There are now weeds or grass in front of those doors! So we walked out, I pointed out the weeds I was referring to. He stormed back into his building. I left for Bakkinsammichs place for MSR Fuel bottles.

The Effect of Web-Based Support as an Adjunct to a Self-Help Smoking Cessation Program
Date: August 2002
Creator: Johs-Artisensi, Jennifer Lynn
Description: For the past quarter century, the public has been educated and warned about the dangers of smoking, and both smokers and health researchers have been in search of cost-effective, smoking cessation programs that will lead to long-term cessation. This study used a randomized experimental design to investigate the effectiveness of adding Web-based support materials to a nationally sponsored self-help smoking intervention. There was no significant increase in abstinence rates nor progression through the stages of change by those participants who had access to the Web site. However, there were some overall significant trends that suggested these self-help interventions were successful at decreasing daily rates of smoking and nicotine dependency, as well as tended to encourage repeated quit attempts. Although Web-based supports did not appear to increase the effectiveness of the nationally sponsored self-help intervention, this study demonstrated overall 12 week follow-up abstinence rates of 30-32%--greater than what might be expected, given average success rates of other self-help interventions. This study also supports the notion that women may face additional barriers to smoking cessation. Limitations and implications for future research are discussed.

The Effectiveness of an Electronic-Mail Campaign to Modify Stress Levels, Mood States, and Coping Techniques Among Employed Adults
Date: August 2003
Creator: Hoke, Cassandra N.
Description: The present study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of a worksite stress management program delivered via electronic mail (e-mail). One hundred and thirty-seven employed adults (36 males, 102 females; mean age = 29.46) from several diverse businesses consented to participate. The volunteers completed Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale, the Daily Hassles Scale, the Daily Work Hassles Scale, the TCU Self-Ratings Scales, and a demographic and opinion questionnaire. Individuals in the treatment group received e-mail messages twice weekly and had access to a website for three months about a variety of cognitive-behavioral techniques for managing worksite stress. A MANCOVA of post-intervention stress levels indicated that individuals who received the stress management messages perceived the same amount of stressors and hassles as individuals who did not receive the messages [F (5, 86) = 0.95, p = .45]. However, a MANCOVA of post-intervention perceived mood states revealed a tendency for individuals in the treatment group to be less depressed, anxious, and angry than individuals in the control group [F (3, 92) = 2.44, p = .07]. Demographic variables did not influence the outcome variables and pre- and post-test absenteeism and illness rates were similar for treatment and control groups. Coping skill usage was ...

The effectiveness of the Geriatric Depression Scale to distinguish apathy from depression in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
Date: August 2008
Creator: Davis, Tommy E., Jr.
Description: Early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias in the elderly is critical for improving treatment methods and is a necessary component for improving public health interventions. One of the earliest and most common behavioral syndromes of AD is apathy and is associated with executive dysfunction. Apathy in AD is often misdiagnosed as depression due to an overlap in symptoms. Studies that have found depression to be associated with executive dysfunction have not always controlled for the presence of apathy. The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) is a widely used instrument designed to assess depression in the elderly. This study utilized the GDS and a set of standard neuropsychological instruments to investigate the relationship between apathy, depression, and executive functions in individuals with AD and related dementias. The first objective of this study was to determine if apathy has a greater impact on executive functions compared to depression in AD and related dementias. The second objective was to determine the effectiveness of the GDS as a screen for apathy. The results of the analyses did not support the hypotheses. However, exploratory analyses suggested a possible non-linear relationship with apathy and various levels of dementia severity. Exploratory analysis also suggested mean ...

The effects of perceived locus of control and dispositional optimism on chronic pain treatment outcomes.
Date: December 2004
Creator: Worsham, Scott L.
Description: The financial cost for health care and lost productivity due to chronic pain has been estimated at over $70 billion per year. Researchers have attempted to discover the psychosocial and personality factors that discriminate between people who learn to cope well with chronic pain and those who have difficulty adjusting. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of perceived locus of control and dispositional optimism on chronic pain treatment outcomes. Subjects reported significantly lower post-treatment pain levels as compared with pre-treatment levels (M = 0.66, SD = 1.58), t(45) = 2.85, p = .007 (two-tailed), but decreased pain was not associated with scores on the internality dimension of the Pain Locus of Control Scale (PLOC) or on the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) (a measure of dispositional optimism). Overall, participants' increased coping ability was associated with scores on the LOT-R, but not with scores on the internality dimension of the PLOC. Subjects with the lowest pre-treatment scores on the LOT-R demonstrated significantly greater increases in post-treatment coping ability than those with the highest scores (F(2,40) = 3.93, p < .03). Participants with the highest pre-treatment scores on both the PLOC internality dimension and the LOT-R demonstrated greater ...

The Effects of Positive Emotion, Negative Emotion, Flourishing, and Languishing on Cardiovascular Risk
Date: August 2010
Creator: Purdum, Michael B.
Description: Positive psychology has led a movement that concentrates on positive characteristics. The current study examined the relationship between positive emotions, negative emotions, flourishing, languishing, and cardiovascular functioning. The study uses guided imagery to help participants recall a negative emotional event and positive emotional event in a counterbalanced order. The reverse order allowed us to examine the differential contributions of stress buffering versus facilitated recovery effects to higher levels of heart rate variability (HRV). The study also examined the relationship between mental health categories and known cardiovascular disease risk. Univariate analysis of variance revealed that positive emotions can serve as a stress buffer and dampen cardiovascular responses to a negative event. Also, analysis revealed a trend for the prediction that positive emotions can facilitate cardiovascular recovery following a negative event. Exploratory analysis did not reveal differences between a facilitated recovery group and a buffering group for cardiovascular measures. Future studies should include tighter control to help compare the differential influences of stress facilitation and stress buffering on cardiovascular functioning. The results from the study indicate that it is still too early to tell whether mental health buffers those individuals from developing CVD, and to answer whether languishing increases the risk of ...

Efficacy of neurofeedback for children with histories of abuse and neglect: Pilot study and meta-analytic comparison to other treatments.
Date: August 2008
Creator: Huang-Storms, Lark
Description: This two-part study investigates the effectiveness of neurofeedback training for reducing behavioral problems commonly observed in abused/neglected children, and compares its efficacy to other treatment interventions with this population. Neuro-developmental sequelae of early relationship trauma are explored as an etiological framework for understanding disturbed affect-regulation, which appears central to the behavioral and emotional difficulties commonly experienced by this pediatric population. It is suggested that neurofeedback teaches children to self-regulate brain rhythmicity mechanisms, which in turn affects global improvements in behavior and mood. The pilot study utilizes records of 20 children removed from their biological homes by Child Protective Services. Children were assessed prior to treatment using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and the Test of Variables of Attention (TOVA), and again after 30 sessions of individualized, qEEG-guided neurofeedback training. A t-test analysis of pre- and post-scores was computed, and indicated significant improvements following treatment. A meta-analysis of existing literature on treatment interventions with abused/neglected children provides individual and aggregate effect sizes for 33 outcome studies with this clinical population, and contextualizes the results of the present pilot study within other empirically validated treatment modalities. Establishment of an overall effect size for treatment for this pediatric population provides a needed method ...

Evaluation of skill maintenance, performance factors, and external validity in a behavioral parent training program.
Date: August 2009
Creator: Scherbarth, Andrew J.
Description: Child maltreatment affects 900 thousand children in the U.S. every year and impacts all areas of daily functioning. Behavioral parent training (BPT) programs have effectively taught parenting and demonstrated externally valid outcomes (i.e., lower recidivism rates). Skill maintenance assessments for BPTs have mixed results. The Behavior Management and Parenting Services (BMAPS) program has shown effective skill training for court-mandated families. This study assessed skill maintenance and performance factors that may have impaired parents using an ABAB single-case research design in Phase 1 & external validity with a survey in Phase 2. Results for Phase 1 found that most BMAPS parents acquired all parenting tools to criteria, dropped below criteria at the 3 month probe, then fully demonstrated their regained skills after a brief review. Psychological and classroom factors do not appear to have systematically influenced performance at any time, although homework completion was associated with better scores at the end of class. Phase 2 results found a 91% reunification rate and a 0% recidivism rate over 1-3 years. All limitations aside, it appears that the BMAPS program is able to effectively train skills to criteria and these skills can be sustained with a booster session. The vast majority of parents ...

Evaluation of the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Self-Report (QIDS-SR) in a spinal cord injury population.
Date: August 2008
Creator: Reed, Kristin
Description: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an acute and devastating event that results in significant and permanent life changes for the individuals who are injured, as well as their families and friends. Depression has received more attention from clinicians and researchers than any other psychological issue among persons with SCI. Measurement of depression in this population has a variety of methodological issues, including inconsistent assessments used (self-report versus clinical interviews), varying definitions of depression, inclusion and exclusion of physical symptoms in the assessment process, and use of measures that do not represent DSM-IV criteria for major depressive disorder. The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Self-Report (QIDS-SR) and provide descriptive analyses of this measure with persons with SCI. Results showed that somatic symptoms were more frequently endorsed than psychological symptoms in this population. Additionally, scores on the QIDS-SR were significantly associated with a depression diagnosis in the patient's medical chart. However, QIDS-SR scores were not found to be correlated inversely with quality of life scores as predicted. The QIDS-SR was shown to have good internal consistency and convergent validity with patients with SCI. However, it failed to demonstrate construct validity. The QIDS-SR ...

Family Environment, Social Support, and Psychological Distress of Women Seeking BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genetic Mutation Testing
Date: August 2002
Creator: Keenan, Lisa A.
Description: Shared characteristics and predictors of psychological distress are beginning to be identified in research on women seeking genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations. This study further explored patterns of psychological distress for 51 community women waiting to receive such genetic test results. There was no significant relationship between psychological distress and family cancer history, personal cancer history, social support networks, and family environment. Women in this sample tended to rely more on females and relatives for support than males and friends. Social support satisfaction was not related to gender or number of relatives providing support. Thirty-four of the 36 women classified on the family environment type were from Personal Growth-Oriented families. Comparisons with normal and distressed family means revealed increased cohesion and expressiveness with decreased conflict, indicative of supportive family environments. Limitations and implications are discussed.

Female Orgasm From Intercourse: Importance, Partner Characteristics, and Health
Date: August 2012
Creator: Powers, Catherine R.
Description: Previous research indicates that women prefer orgasms triggered by penile-vaginal intercourse (PVI) as compared to those triggered by direct manual stimulation of the clitoris. However, for reasons that are not well understood, most women are unable to reach PVI orgasms as often as they desire. In addition, it is unclear why many women prefer PVI orgasms to those triggered by direct clitoral stimulation. This study developed a more precise measure of PVI orgasm frequency and evaluated key predictors of this frequency, including duration of intercourse, physical and psychological health, and partner traits with implications for either mating quality or relationship quality. The present study also measured PVI orgasm importance and investigated why it is important for many women. The sample consisted of 835 adult women with experience in PVI. Mean PVI orgasm frequency was 50%, with 39.4% of women never or rarely having PVI orgasms, 37.1% sometimes having PVI orgasms, and 23.5% almost always or always having PVI orgasms. As a median response, women believed that PVI orgasm was "very important" and perceived importance was correlated with orgasm frequency (r = .31, p < .001), as were reasons for importance. Duration of intercourse showed a linear relationship with PVI orgasm ...

text: (WBEN) After settling all the passenger lawsuits stemming from the crash of Flight 3407 ion Clarence Center in 2009, Continental Airlines is headed to court to fight claims brought by the family of Douglas Wielinski, the only victim on the ground. Wielinski was inside his home on Long Avenue in Clarence when the plane, carrying 49 people fell to the ground. Continental Connection Flight 3407 was about five miles short of the Buffalo Niagara International Airport, flying in icing conditions the night of Feb. 12 when the plane tumbled wildly out of control and plummeted onto the Wielinski home. All 49 people aboard the plane and Wielinski died. The last of more than 40 federal wrongful death claims recently settled as did a handful in State Supreme Court. Continental Airlines has asked Judge Frederick Marshal to dismiss the case. Wielinski's attorney Phillip Rimmler wants Continental to pay damages , but the lawyer for the airline says there's no evidence Continental acted in a wanton manner.

Message from the SWAA President
The 86th Annual SWAA Conference will be held from May 1–2, 2015 at the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California. This is truly a venue like no other. This extraordinary piece of history reminds us of the long-term ties we have to globalization and human migration. How many thousands of stories unfolded on her decks? Books have been written on this topic, and even Westways, the magazine of the Automobile Association of Southern California, featured a lively recounting of her drama and charms in their September 2014 issue. Technology, tourism, class, historical and cultural nostalgia, and even a few hauntings are among the many themes evoked by this venue.
The theme of the conference will be 'Voyages: Past, Present and Future.' What voyages has anthropology taken us on, and where is our discipline headed? Where does anthropology belong on the high seas of globalization? Are anthropologists best suited to be captains, crew, passengers, or pirates? The Queen Mary has served many functions, from Royal Mail Ship of empire, to steamship for royalty and celebrities, to military troopship, to immigrant transport. Now, it welcomes the world as a renowned tourist destination. It seems the perfect venue for anthropologists to contemplate our own diverse adventures and plan new ones.
Our banquet speaker will be Dr. Roberto Gonzalez of San José State University. His talk will be on 'Parallel Universe: Cultural Knowledge and the Military-Industrial Complex.' His work focuses on the relationship between humans and their environments; on science, technology and society; on militarism and culture; and on anthropological ethics. His book, Militarizing Culture: Essays on the Warfare State, was published in 2010, and he co-edited (with Rachael Stryker) a volume titled Up, Down, and Sideways: Anthropologists Trace the Pathways of Power (Studies in Public and Applied Anthropology) that came out in 2014.
Please join us in May 2015 on the broad wooden decks and in the elegant halls of the Queen Mary. Enjoy with us the magnificent view as we look out across the waters towards the many cultures of the Pacific Rim and beyond, and as we gaze back towards the beautiful and lively city of Long Beach and the country that has become the final docking place for one of the most famous ships of modern history. The QM has been witness to many human experiences, and so have we.
As always, the SWAA Board is committed to SWAA remaining a four-field association, welcoming all contributions with something meaningful and original to say, from all branches of anthropology, including applied and activist anthropology, and fields that share a close connection to what we do. Papers, posters, films and panel discussions will fill our two-day schedule, ending with a rousing plenary session and a banquet dinner. I also want to extend a heartfelt invitation to those of you who do not plan to present in 2015: please come and discuss the work of your colleagues and friends! Come one, come all. Don't miss the boat!

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
The ECHR ruled that Gary McFarlane, one of the appellants, may not discriminate against homosexuals.
On January 15, 2013, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ruled in two cases from the United Kingdom that religion cannot justify discrimination against gay men and lesbians. The ruling comes in cases involving two Christians who argued that because of their belief that homosexual relationships are contrary to God's law they should not be required by their employers to do anything that condones homosexuality. The Court soundly rejected that argument, upholding rulings by employment tribunals in the UK.
One of the apellants, Lillian Ladele, who was employed as a Registrar by the London Borough of Islington from 1992 to 2009, refused to perform same-sex civil partnership ceremonies. When the Civil Partnership Act came into force in the United Kingdom in December 2005, she was informed by her employer that she would henceforth be required to officiate at civil partnership ceremonies between homosexual couples. When Ladele refused to agree to do so, her contract was terminated.
The other apellant, Gary McFarlane, worked as a counsellor from May 2003 to March 2008 for the national charity Relate, which offers therapy for couples suffering from sexual dysfunction and other relationship problems. When he made it known that he would refuse to treat same-sex couples, he was dismissed for gross misconduct on the ground that he had stated that he would comply with Relate's Equal Opportunities Policies and provide counselling to same-sex couples without any intention of doing so.
After employment tribunals in the United Kingdom upheld the disciplinary actions against Ladele and McFarlane, the two appealed to the ECHR, alleging that they had been discriminated against on the basis of their religious beliefs.
In rejecting the arguments of Ladele and McFarlane, the Court ruled that the policies of the employers--to promote equal opportunities and to require employees to act in a way which did not discriminate against others--had the legitimate aim of securing the rights of others, such as same-sex couples, which were also protected under the European Convention.
In particular, the Court held that differences in treatment based on sexual orientation required particularly serious justification. Employers, therefore, have wide discretion when it comes to striking a balance between their obligation to secure the rights of others and the apellants' right to manifest their religion.
Scott Roberts at PinkNews reports that the UK's Christian Institute expressed disappointment in the ruling, adding that Christians with traditional beliefs about marriage were "at risk of being left out in the cold."
In contrast, equal rights groups welcomed the ruling.
Stonewall Chief Executive Ben Summerskill said, "Today's judgement rightly confirms that it's completely unacceptable in 2013 for public servants to pick and choose who they want to serve on the basis of sexual orientation."
He added, "Gay people contribute over £40bn to the cost of public services in this country. They're entitled to nothing less than equal treatment from those services, even from public servants who don't happen to like gay people."
Labour Member of the European Parliament Michael Cashman said, "British law rightly protect LGBT people from discrimination, and there is no exemption for religious believers. Religion and belief are deeply private and personal, and should never be used to diminish the rights of others."
British Humanist Association Chief Executive Andrew Copson observed that "These cases have been repeatedly lost in court after court and have wasted an enormous amount of time just as they have generated a huge amount of unnecessarily divisive feeling amongst the public."
"The victim narrative that lies behind them, whipped up by the political Christian lobby groups that organise them and the socially conservative media that report them, has no basis in reality," he added.
The BBC News video below reports on these two cases and two other cases involving religion that were decided by the Court.

The story could have been screwed up along the 13.7 billion years since the beginning of time. In under 2000 years a book about an all powerful creator made of love also includes a passage approving beating people to death with rocks because they like people of the same gender, so I don't think the Timelord origin story is above being a bit incorrect.

Did you build a jig to make the frame or were you just laying on that cutting board and soldering? Just curious how you wnet about it. I am going to be building some aircrfat fuselage interior framing and was wondering. I did a little bit in the past where I taped the pieces to a piece of tracing papaer and did it burning away the paper as I soldered. That actually worked pretty well.
Posted 21 February 2013 - 05:53 PM
This is awfully simple compared to a lot of stuff on here, but it came out pretty nicely so I'm pleased. It's a trailer that's part of a late '40's dry lakes style race set that includes an AMT '40 Ford Sedan Delivery and a resin '34 Ford Roadster body on a modified AMT '34 Ford 5-window chassis. I love scratch building parts that I can't easily find otherwise. The trailer was primarily made from various Evergreen and Plastruct plastic shapes with the wheels and springs coming from an AMT '37 Chevy kit and the fenders from an AMT '25 T double kit. I built it freehand, just measuring and cutting as I went, based on the dimensions established by the roadster's track and length.

I also like to build traditional style hot rod frames. This is a lo-boy Deuce sedan based on a Jimmy Flintstone resin body. because of the thivkness and dimensions of the Flintstone body which is based on the Revell Orange Crate, I couldn't modify an existing styrene Deuce frame. It was actually easier just to make my own! The interior is also largely scratch built I'm haven't shown it here. The frame rails are made of Evergreen styrene strip. The rear cossmembers and diagonal braces are Evergreen styrene rod. The center crossmember is a Revell Deuce piece and the front crossmember is from an AMT '29 Model A Ford roadster chassis. The taper at the front of the rails was traced from a Revell Deuce frame and sanded and filed into shape.

And finally this next chassis is what I consider to be my best work. It's very simple but looks quite true-to-life to my eyes. It's a simple '40's style dry lakes modified. The entire frame with the exception of the rear crossmenber is scratch built from styrene strip, including the split wishbones. The rear crossmember is from a Revell '29 Ford RPU. The exhaust headers and pipes, most of the interior, and the fuel tank in the final pictures are also scratch built.

I gotta get in on all the fun here but most of mine pales in comparison to some of the highly detailed scratchbuilding going on in this thread.
Here's my Carny Wagon. The entire living quarters is scratch built along with everything inside it.
This includes the guitar, food canisters, pot bellied stove, metal sink, coffee pot, matchbook holder by the door including red tip wooden matches, etc.

Next is a few shots from my Fiat Altered build, which is still an on-going project until I'm happy with the paint.
The entire front axle, suspension, batwings and radius rods are all scratch built and the steering is functioning as is a requirement in all of my builds.
Also, some of the other scratch built items include the butterfly steering wheel, seat and all of the interior tins are made from printing plate.
This thread is amazing and inspiring as well. I'm dialed in and now that I've found it, I check it first thing everytime I get on the forum.
Posted 22 February 2013 - 04:13 AM
One final project. Still working on this one and am in limbo until my wheels come in.
Functioning steering on my lifted 1/25th scale Jeep with functioning u-joints in the steering knuckes.
I'll have more on this later.

Well, I am very grateful for the life that God has granted me. I love God and am trying to make an effort to get to know him better so my partner would have to be willing to embrace that part of me. I'm shy at first but after I get used to someone the firecracker comes out. I can have a sardonic mouth and consider myself pretty witty! I love music. That includes hip-hop, alternative, big band, pop, rock, and much more. I can take a little country (but not any of the hardcore stuff like bluegrass). I'm looking for a man who knows what he wants in life. He's direct with his intentions concerning me, can make me laugh, doesn't take himself too seriously, and loves to try new things. I'm looking for someone to make lasting memories with. I imagine him to be faithful, supportive, and a reciprocator!

Hi all,
Please correct me if this is a wrong forum for this question.
i am not sure if this is a sql problem or it is by design but this is what we are currently having:
We have a database mirroring setup (between server1 and server2) and all works fine when the database runs on the server1. The original intend was to always run this database as a Prin***l on server1.
But, when the database fail over to server2 we are seeing lot's of errors (Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Server , Line 1 Login failed for user '' ) on server1 but not on server2 (now Prin***l) and the application continue to work without any problems.
The question is why we are seeing the login failed errors on the server1?
Is this by design that application still think that this database is still located on server1, then tried to connect to server1 and if it can't connect then it tries to connect to server2?

That depends on how you are connecting. If you are usign the SQL Native Client then it has the ability to store both IP addresses for the principle and mirror. If it can't connect to the principle it will eventually try the mirror. It doesn't know that the switch has occured until it can't connect any longer. If your apps are not using the native client they need to have a way to switch over to the mirror.
New Member
03 Jun 2011 04:30 PM
What is the preffered method? SQL Native client or using a switch by application.
it's not like i see the errors for 1 day only. if the mirror become a prin***l and stays there for a week then we see errors on the current mirror (was an original prin***l) instance everyday.
New Member
04 Jun 2011 01:52 PM
There is no preferred way. It's up to each to decide based on their needs and enviorment. As for the logins on the mirror I would see what apps / machines are loggin those errors and see whey they are accessing the mirror. My guess is an app not mirror aware.

05 Jun 2011 06:31 PM
When you use failover partner in connection string, new connection always goes to prin***l first. If failed, will go to failover partner. That's why you see many logon failures in original prin***l.

Aeris XR-2 Computer Console
Now Includes FREE Digital Online Class to get the most out of your dive computer.
Now Includes FREE Digital Online Class to get the most out of your dive computer.
Have you ever spent a dive staring at your computer instead of looking at everything in the water all because your computer is hard to read? The XR-2's enlarged digits, easy-to-read icons, and split screen take the guesswork out of reading your dive computer Also, the XR-2 allows you to decide what information displays; now you can customize the display to include only the things you want to keep an eye on during your dives The XR-2 is an air, nitrox or gauge mode computer, has backlighting, and incorporates audible alarms with flashing LED warning light
Variable ascent rate indicator will keep you safe upon ascent and slow you down progressively as you head to the surface Safety stop timer will give you the ability to include the all important 15' (5 meter) safety stop which is recommended by all instructional agencies Aeris Dive Computers are designed with color-coded bar graphs; grey, yellow and red These graphs monitor three very important diving parameters; nitrogen accumulation, oxygen loading and your personal ascent rate Pixels build up in each of these color-coded areas to give you a quick, easy reference of these parameters Proper monitoring of these graphs allows you to select the personal degree of conservatism you wish to build into each dive, putting you in control of your margin of safety
The XR-2 features time of day on the surface as well as underwater for quick reference Time and date stamp also helps you to easily identify specific dives in Log Mode or PC download memory All Aeris computers automatically compensate for altitude up to 14,000' (4,267 meters), giving adjusted no-decompression times and depths They even automatically recalibrate the depth display for freshwater instead of seawater The XR-2 computer features diver replaceable CR240 batteries This can be a real trip-saver on board a live-aboard boat! An added benefit to diver replaceable batteries is the hot-swap" feature allows you to change batteries between dives while maintaining all calculations The XR-2 features a watertight, plug-in serial connection for fast and reliable PC download Feature-rich software provides intuitive post-dive analysis and logging You have the option to add and/or edit many pieces of information to customize your log book, with data such as depth and decompression status during a dive, maximum depth, bottom time, no-decompression status, descent and ascent rate, surface interval, and any violations recorded automatically The XR-2 has a operational depth limit as a computer to 330' (100 meters), and as an advance depth gauge to 399' (122 meters) Other features of the XR-2 are temperature on surface and underwater, simulator and dive planner, set units of measure, and much more
Any diver will agree that an air supply is the most important part of scuba diving - right next to water, of course The pressure gauge included in the Aeris XR-2 Computer Console won't let you down It accurately reports your remaining air pressure, and the pressure gauge is easy to read due to its contemporary display Pressure gauge is also equipped with a thermometer to monitor both water and air temperature Pressure gauge has a luminescent dial for ease of reading in low light or night diving conditions
The XR-2 and pressure gauge come with Aeris 30 day satisfaction guarantee, a 24 month limited warranty and a comprehensive owner's manual If you are in the market for a small, but still easy-to-read dive computer that is compatible with air and nitrox, look no further than the AERIS XR-2
Due to MFG restrictions, this can be sold to the USA and Caribbean only
This product has a limited warranty of 24 months.

I bought this dive computer for my trip to the Dominican Republic. I did a few dives with the computer and everything worked perfectly. The instructions were straight forward and understandable. I was able to become familiar with most of the functions prior to my dives. During the dive, the computer tracked all necessary dive stats and the display was easy to read at 70ft. Pressing the button allowed for cycling through a series of screens, all of which were useful, easy to read and interpret.
The hose length is just right. However, I would recommend a clip/strap to hold the console in place on the BCD while diving.
Out of the water, the console is compact, light weight and easy to handle. This console was a great buy and I consider it a great value.

BEWARE: The computer is good; however, a standard sized compass, pre-2007 model, does NOT fit in the pocket on the back of the console! If you want a compass, you must purchase Aeris' NEW model compass.[...] For this reason, I would save the compass money and apply that toward a different computer. [...] do your homework before purchasing.Safe diving.

I love how easy it is to use, and pick back up one year later without a training course. You can also buy the wrist strap ($15) and put the computer by iteslf on your wrist, if you like having your information in front of you.

Comments about Aeris XR-2 Computer Console:
I really like this computer but I had some issues which I hope Aeris will fix (sent it to Aeris). Did not hear the audible alarm when one reading exceeded, does not appear to be calibrated, had a strange reading along with my 4 logged dives. I really liked the Aeris XR-1 which this computer replaces. If you dive in murky water, do not get it because it is so hard to read in low visibility. Turning on the backlight did not help -- that is probably best used at night.

Comments about Aeris XR-2 Computer Console:
I've only used it twice but I really like it because it's a no-brainer, and since I'm a beginner diver, that's what I need!
It would have been helpful to know that the battery was going to be dead when I received it. Also, the instructions showed me how to replace the battery once the computer was out of the console, but it didn't show how to get the computer out of the console. Since I'm new to diving I didn't know I could bend the console back and pull the computer out. I took it in to my dive shop and had them replace the battery for me and they showed me how to do it.

Comments about Aeris XR-2 Computer Console:
Was disapointed when I went to use the computer the first time and found that the battery which comes with the computer and has a 5 year shelf life was dead. Fortunately the battery was available and in stock at Radio Shack.

Comments about Aeris XR-2 Computer Console:
Bought 4 of these for the family. [...].Functionally the XR2 is simple and to the point. It tells you what you need to know for recreational diving, without a lot of frills. Underwater you normally see depth and max decomp time remaining at current depth. By pushing the front button, you can get the time, temp, and time at depth easily. It is a VERY conservative computer. It limits most ascents to 30 FPM, and uses 24 hours to fly...as a couple examples. So, as long as you plan to dive conservatively, it works great! We have not yet tried the download feature.

On Fox News Sunday, Bill Kristol criticized the Supreme Court's decision striking down portions of the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (MCA) and suggested that fears about that law's denial of the writ of habeas corpus were overblown because "American citizens ... and anyone arrested in this country [have] a right to habeas corpus." But contrary to Kristol's suggestion, the MCA explicitly denied habeas rights to noncitizens, regardless of where that person is detained.
On The Sean Hannity Show, Tom DeLay falsely claimed that Sen. Barack Obama is "in favor of a bill to fingerprint every American in this country and have a national fingerprint database." In fact, the bill to which DeLay was apparently referring would require employees of banks that apply for "licensing and registration as a State-licensed loan originator," as well as individuals who apply for licenses, to submit fingerprints to "to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and any governmental agency or entity authorized to receive such information for a State and national criminal history background check."
On Today, during an interview with former CIA agent Michael Sheehan about his new book, Matt Lauer said, "You say we've got to use more undercover agents, informants, wiretapping, email surveillance, the works. The sound you just heard, Michael, is the far left, grabbing for their remote controls, 'cause they say, you're going to do this, you're going to trample civil liberties." In fact, Americans across the political spectrum have denounced the Bush administration for alleged violations of civil liberties.
In the wake of the New York Times exposé on the hidden ties between media military analysts and the Pentagon, the Department of Defense (DOD) released numerous documents related to the program. One is a June 23, 2006, email containing a report written by CNN military analyst Donald Shepperd about his DOD-sponsored trip to Guantánamo Bay on June 21, 2006. In the report, Shepperd wrote: "Did we drink the government kool-aid? -- of course -- that was the purpose of the trip, to hear the U.S. government side of the story, the other side is provided daily in the media, some informed, most by those who have never been to Gitmo."
On Fox News' Your World, Floyd Brown, creator of a new ad claiming that Sen. Barack Obama is "weak in the war on gangs," asserted: "[I]n Chicago, we saw six people killed and over 31 injured. People were stabbed. This is, you know, like Baghdad. And he was the state senator there, and he didn't do anything to clean it up, and I think it's a legitimate issue." Host Neil Cavuto gave no indication that Obama has responded to the ad, much less provide Obama's response.
During his April 15 interview with Sen. John McCain, Chris Matthews failed to challenge McCain on a variety of issues, including Iraq, other foreign policy issues, campaign finance, and spending projects, despite purporting to ask "tough" questions.
The Hill reported that "Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) is expected to announce Thursday that the House GOP floor emphasis will transition away from passing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act." In fact, FISA became law in 1978, and although it has been amended many times since then, it remains in force today.
A Washington Post article about privacy concerns regarding the federal government's Digital Collection System noted that the number of national security letters "issued by the FBI soared from 8,500 in 2000 to 47,000 in 2005," but it did not mention that the Justice Department's inspector general found many "instances of illegal or improper use of national security letters" by the FBI between 2003 to 2005, according to a 2007 IG report.
Fox News' Alisyn Camerota falsely claimed that House "Democrats are pushing legislation which would strip telecommunications companies of their immunity." In fact, the House Democrats' bill does not "strip" telecommunications companies of immunity; it provides immunity prospectively, leaving intact existing immunity provisions under current law and leaving to the courts the question of whether the telecom companies are immune from suit for their prior alleged cooperation with the government in its warrantless domestic wiretapping program.
On CNN's This Week in Politics, Cliff May falsely asserted, unchallenged, that Nancy Pelosi "is not letting a vote come on" a "bipartisan bill passed by the Senate that would restore to intelligence agencies the authority they used to have to ... surveil, to bug terrorists and terrorist suspects abroad." May further claimed, falsely, that Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama "have said they're against this bill that would restore intelligence authority." In fact, the U.S. government currently has the authority to eavesdrop on the communications of suspected terrorists through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Fox News' Bret Baier reported that "in recent days ... Republicans have tried to link surveillance reauthorization to almost every" piece of legislation House Democrats have tried to pass. In fact, the authority to conduct "surveillance" does not need "reauthorization"; the government currently has the authority to eavesdrop on the communications of suspected terrorists primarily through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
On Fox News' America's Pulse, E.D. Hill falsely asserted, "[T]he law that lets them [U.S. intelligence agencies] listen in to phone calls from overseas by known terrorists expired two weeks ago." In fact, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) did not expire; what expired were revisions to FISA under the Protect America Act, which, among other things, expanded the government's authority to eavesdrop on Americans' domestic-to-foreign communications without a warrant.
Like his Fox News colleague Steve Centanni, Mike Emanuel conflated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act with the Protect America Act, asking President Bush at a recent news conference, "[D]o you worry that perhaps some House Democratic leaders are playing a high-stakes game of 'wait and see' in terms of if we get attacked, we all lose, if we don't get attacked, then maybe that makes the case that you don't need all the powers in FISA?"
On America's Newsroom, Fox News' Steve Centanni conflated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act with the Protect America Act, asserting that President Bush is "urging Congress, pushing Congress, to pass the extension of FISA, or what he calls the Protect America Act." In fact, the 1978 FISA law established the federal government's underlying statutory authority to eavesdrop on the communications of suspected terrorists, while the PAA, among other things, expanded the government's authority to eavesdrop on Americans' domestic-to-foreign communications without a warrant.
An AP article falsely suggested that the U.S. government does not currently have the authority to "eavesdrop[] on phone calls and e-mails of suspected terrorists." The article also claimed, "The Senate has already passed its version of the measure to renew the law, which expired Feb. 16." In fact, what expired on February 16 was the Protect America Act's revisions to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act; the federal government still has the authority under FISA to listen in on the communications of suspected terrorists. The AP made similar false suggestions in a January report.
