i wouldn't go as far as to title it "bloody apple" however, i would say that if an apple did have 'blood' that is what it would look like...
i think it's an incredible series, with a few technical issues, yet still an effective and imaginitive subject. I would like to see this series displayed in a bit more intelligent manner, perhaps as a SINGLE piece, rather than a dump of sorts. This would suggest a story-board type feel and perhaps make the work THAT much more "tragic" or "human" or whatever you want really, the way you present the series itself can say a lot about your intentions...

Thread: buying a laptop?
December 12th, 2011 #1
buying a laptop?
so i'm kinda poor and my current laptop is starting to chug when working with large files. it's 1gb ram shared with the graphics card and the first gen core duo processor. i'd like to spend about £400-500 and my absolute limit is £600.
i've found the Lenovo G770 seems to be going for a good deal (i think?). it's been a while since i caught up with computer hardware. it's an i5-2410M cpu, separate graphics card, and 8gb ram, 1600x900 display. although according to this review, its contrast ratio is 150:1. this contrast ratio is new to me, but is this really a deal-breaker? because the rest of the specs seem to be the best for the money, in this price range.

I usually stand by Lenovo as even though they bought IBM's laptop division they had continued with some solid laptops.
However, their warranty support leaves much to be desired. I had purchased a G570 because I don't need a crazy processor to do regular illustrations. The video is enough and for $400 bucks this came off as a solid purchase.
The problem was the unit I bought seemed to have a sound defect that not only did other G570 owners experience but another G770 one seemed to have a problem with.
Is Lenovo's support forums and I noticed that people are having issues with the switchable graphics. I can't say ATI has always behaved well with programs like Photoshop.
I do have the Intel 3000 HD graphics in the new replacement laptop they gave me, but I haven't tried out the illustration programs quite yet since I just received the unit yesterday after a 2 month fight with Lenovo about my original unit
Now saying that, I don't want to be overly bias because like I said I had Lenovo laptops before and were happy with their price. I'll also say the G series have some GREAT construction. They are well built. I don't say I can think the same of other laptops.
I thought however you should be a bit wary.
December 13th, 2011 #3
is there any word on whether the sound issue was a software/driver problem, or a hardware defect?
i use Linux on all my machines, and the OS always takes care of any driver headaches etc by itself. if you haven't already, it might be worth installing the latest Ubuntu to see if it's a problem with the Windows driver/OS.
December 15th, 2011 #4
I got another laptop and it doesn't have this problem. I asked for a different model of the same line. I'm not sure if it's a software issue - even though 9 times out of 10 it usually is, because other people with the same unit didn't have this problem.
However, since I got the icore3 of the same model I didn't have the issue. I'm quite happy with it. http://amzn.com/B005NHP0BY I requested this model once their Customer Relations team got involved.

i'm even starting to wonder if it's worth waiting until 1920x1080 screens start coming with laptops in my budget...
there's always the external monitor solution, but my room is kinda small for that.
December 16th, 2011 #6
As far as that goes, yes it's harder to work at the resolution. However, 1920x1080 laptops would mean a larger screen, they should be at 20 inches or higher because a higher resolution doesn't equate to as much space as a larger screen does.
I would advise getting a monitor for more space, and yes I know you said space is limited, but it's a much better solution than waiting around for that resolution because it's still gonna be small for a laptop.
Other advice I can give you is learn the shortcut keys for fullscreen mode. Which is usually TAB. That is good for when you are going to stick with a certain brush when sketching or inking and you can either use the bracket keys, or other shortcuts (I use the ctrl+alt and drag to resize the size of my brush in Painter) to change the size of the brush.
I really never found laptops ideal for doing finished work without at least a second monitor so I can have the screen real estate. Even with my regular desktop I tend to use a 2nd monitor for efficiency.
One other thing I'd like to mention is that laptops and even tablet pcs/slates, I've found not so great when it comes to color accuracy, so it's another reason to get a monitor to check your work.

You can replace it with new generation processors like Intel i4 or AMD just only to pay 300-400 pounds and you will get better comparison than others.

So far....
I have fatten the handle bar,
enlarged the gas tank,
installed the center stand,
changed the seat,
shelled out for TM40,
opened up the airbox,
caned the stock can,
and got me a cool can.
and finally...
a beautiful black rack.
My belly burns as the time approaches.
Day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment,
I am torn between the elated optimism to
unbearable anxiety.
I wanna be on the road, but I need to tight this last bolt.
There"re always more of these last bolts.
A great American playwright once illustrated as
the Hero steps out for the journey.
His bag flung over his broad shoulder,
his eyes scan vast wilderness in front of him.
And he drops his bag on the ground,
kneels, undo his shoe lace. tightens the right shoe firmly.
He checks the other shoe, undo, tightens, checks.
Maybe dig through his bag,
looking for some other trivial shit.
You get the idea......

Colonels 2 College: New fundraising campaign announced
Standing in the back of the Stagg Room at the Henderson Fine Arts Center, Emily Fulkerson and Aaron Lane tried to keep out of the spotlight on Wednesday.
After all, the pair of Henderson County High School students weren't the ones who had helped raise $814,000 for the Rotary Club of Henderson Colonels 2 College Program.
Neither were they the ones who had conceived of the initiative that aims to give eligible students up to $1,000 for four semesters at HCC.
But when Joan Hoffman began recognizing the special guests who had come to witness the announcement of the public phase of a $2.5 million fundraising campaign for the program, she called Fulkerson and Lane the most special guests of all.
"They ... (and) about 490 other Rotary Colonels 2 College scholars and all who will follow in their footsteps are the reason this scholarship initiative was created," she said.
Now, Fulkerson, a 16-year-old sophomore, will have a greater chance of following through with her life goal to become a dermatologist. Lane, a junior, also hopes to have a career in the medical field, though he has not yet decided what his specialty will be.
"A lot of my friends were joining (the Rotary Colonels 2 College Program), but mostly my teachers told me about it and said it would be a good idea because I'm thinking of going to medical school," Fulkerson said. "It's a really good program. It helps people who normally wouldn't have an opportunity to go to college."
The program wouldn't have gotten started without Joan Hoffman.
John Wilkey, who is on the steering committee for the Rotary Colonels 2 College Program and is also the president of the College Foundation, called Hoffman a "visionary" who had the program in mind long before it actually came about.
That said, Hoffman said she had some nervous moments, roughly three years ago, when the Colonels 2 College board of directors decided to offer that year's freshmen — the Class of 2013 — the opportunity to become inaugural scholars in what was then just called the Colonels 2 College Program.
Entry into the college scholarship initiative had, and still does have, certain stipulations: A required 2.5 minimum grade point average each year, a 96 percent attendance and punctuality record, completion of high school in eight consecutive semesters, and a requirement that students take more than the state minimum number of credits needed to graduate. Students also need to sign up their freshman year.
Still, Hoffman was making a promise that, to a certain extent, wasn't yet guaranteed.
"I stood in front of those students that fall (in 2009) and said: 'If you make your commitment and keep your promise, we will keep our promise when you graduate.' We made that promise without having raised one dollar at that point."
Meanwhile, word about the program was spreading, and more students began signing up each year. The Class of 2013 now has 120 eligible scholars, for instance. The Class of 2014? It has 143 eligible scholars. And the Class of 2015 has 227 eligible scholars.
As for the guarantee that, starting with the Class of 2013, each eligible student would actually receive up to $1,000 for four semesters at HCC, however — that came in an announcement last October.
That's when the Colonels 2 College Program received a $250,000 gift from the Rotary Club of Henderson that will be matched by the Kentucky Community and Technical College System in creating a $500,000 endowment.
"This thing started when Mark Chumbler and (Jon L.) Sights came to my office on Feb. 17 last year," said Chris Melton, who was the president of the local Rotary Club when the decision was made.
Chumbler added that the Rotary Club's board of directors wholeheartedly supported the decision. He said he was comforted by the fact that the plan's staunchest supporters were older Rotarians who had helped to safeguard the money in the club's charitable trust for decades.
(The Rotary Club had been using proceeds from that trust to provide college scholarships for local students, Chumbler said. It still continues to do so, Melton added.)
And the donations to the Rotary Colonels 2 College haven't stopped there.
Hoffman and others also announced on Wednesday that the Koch Foundation has pledged $100,000 over a five-year pledge period.
"There's no finer work we can do than to encourage children and to give them the confidence that they can achieve more than they think they can achieve," said Jim Muelbauer, one of the Koch Foundation trustees. Koch Enterprises Inc. owns Audubon Metals and Gibbs Die Casting Corp. in Henderson.
Additionally, lead fundraiser Dr. John Logan and his network of men and women who believe in the program have worked to bring in about $200,000 since last fall, Hoffman said. Logan, incidentally, also had a big hand in the Rotary Club's decision to contribute to the Colonels 2 College Program, she said after the news conference.
All this means the renamed Rotary Club of Henderson Colonels 2 College Program is now almost a third of the way toward its $2.5 million fundraising campaign goal.
Now, the 490 students who are eligible to receive scholarships are assured that they will indeed get what they were promised.
All those students have to do is hold up their part of the bargain. And to hear Fulkerson and Lane tell it, that hasn't been hard since there are other benefits as well.
Going to community college for the first two years is a good idea because it's less expensive than spending all four years at a university, Fulkerson said. She said she'd also be able to be near her family for those first two years after high school.
Lane added that he was happy the program would help fund his college education, since he said he needs financial assistance in that area.
He's not alone. According to information provided by the Rotary Colonels 2 College Program, one of the main reasons that more than half of Henderson County High School graduates don't go on to earn college degrees is that they cannot afford it. The per capita income in Henderson County is $18,470, and 84 percent of all students at HCC are receiving financial aid.
Additionally, the students who earn the Rotary C2C scholarships will be better prepared to face the rigors of college and the workplace.
Within the next few years, business leaders in Henderson will recognize Rotary C2C as a program that trains its participants to be dependable and capable. Students will be able to show potential employers their Rotary C2C certificates, which indicate they are responsible and industrious employees.
"The students who participate in the Rotary C2C Program are better prepared to lead productive lives," a news release said. "Businesses benefit because they can hire from a more productive workforce. HCC and the community become stronger, and Henderson is more able to meet the challenges that come our way."
"This is one of the most significant programs in" Henderson County, said Chase Fulcher, one of the key fundraisers for the Rotary Colonels 2 College Program. "There's no doubt we'll reach our goal."
To donate to the Rotary Club of Henderson Colonels 2 College program, contact fiscal agent the College Foundation, 2660 S. Green St., Henderson, KY, 42420, or call 831-9805. The website is http://henderson.kctcs.edu/Giving/Colonels_2_College.aspx

NVIDIA! What are your plans for Linux!
Hello NVIDIA!
In current I have a ATI X800XL card on my computer. I've been more into Linux lately because I like the OS very much, and also because of Windows Vista which seems to make it harder for software-developers (especially small ones) creating their applications to the public (no offense to DirectX and Microsoft's game-developement packs). I want more freedom on my computer, and it feels like Vista is not making it easier. Anyway, now to the point. I've noticed that the perfomence on my ATI-card is lesser when used in Linux than in Windows. I know it is the drivers that is bad, and ATI seems not to support Linux very well because of their un-optimized drivers (e.g. bad texture-quality in Quake4). I'm planning to buy a new graphics-card for now, and my thought's is to get a NVIDIA-card. The reason is it seems you have good support for your customers, and I hope you'll create good OPTIMIZED drivers for Linux, in the same class as for Windows. So, to the question, how is the performance in Linux compared to Windows? How well is OpenGL supported? Are you trying make the drivers as good as in Windows? Are you planning to skip Linux and put all your resources on Windows?
Convince me buying a NVIDIA-card and make me hope that you'll create drivers that works in the same performance as in Windows in OpenGL etc.
Edit: Sorry thought this was the official NVIDIA forum.

You'd think once they hit their mid-30s, these women would realize that there are more than 25 men on the planet. This seems not to be the case, as Cameron Diaz is now dating Jennifer Aniston ex Paul Sculfor, while Jennifer Aniston is dating Cameron Diaz ex John Mayer.
To quote my roommate on this one: "Ew."
John Mayer was seen on a date with Cameron Diaz in NYC on Tuesday night. "They went out to several places…It was the two of them, getting to know each other, out on the town," says a source.
Diaz is in New York filming the romantic comedy What Happens in Vegas, and John Mayer is in New York being lecherous.
According to friends, the two already knew each other: "This was technically not their first time hanging out…they've hung out together with friends before. But this was the first time together like this. It's new and developing…but they really like each other and it went well,"
I wonder what Jessica Simpson has to say about all this … she's been laying pretty low lately. Come out and whine, Jess!!!
You were quite troublesome this weekend, little guy.[hat tip]
Cameron Diaz Really Ought to Be More Careful About Wearing Foreign-Language Communist Slogans in Peru
Okay, so remember that girl you knew in college who got the word "love" tattooed on her hip in Chinese? Except what it really said is "I'm a neutered goat"? I know you knew at least one. I knew three. Maybe you even were that girl.
So Cameron Diaz goes hiking around Machu Picchu this week with a super-cute bag with a pretty red star and some fabulous Chinese writing that I'm sure she thought said "faith and love for all." Except the Chinese writing actually said "Serve the People," and, combined with the red star, she may as well have stuck Mao Zedong's face on her T-shirt.
The ringing endorsement of Red China didn't go over so hot in Peru, where the Maoist insurgency in the 1980s and early 1990s resulted in 70,000 rather brutal deaths.
Of course Cameron didn't do this on purpose, but it seems to have offended a fair number of Peruvians.
Seriously, people, if you need another reason not to wear any words written in a language you don't speak, look no further than Engrish.com's clothing section. Any of you English speakers who have lived in Asia can appreciate how ridiculous it is to see an eight-year-old boy wandering around with an ice-cream cone and a T-shirt that says "Kill me now I want to die." I'm still kicking myself for not taking a picture of that shit …

Ridge mesmerizing in Chamber Theatre's 'Underneath the Lintel'
Midway through his extraordinary solo performance in Glen Berger's "Underneath the Lintel" - being staged by the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre under C. Michael Wright's direction - James Ridge asks the audience whether we'd recognize a miracle if we saw one.
I know I've missed a few - "Lintel" suggests we all have - but I have no doubt I saw something akin to one Friday night, in watching as good a one-person show as I've seen anywhere in a long time. »Read Full Article(2)

In her own words: living with bunions
Jenna, a 27-year-old editor and dietitian, has had bunions on both of her feet since she was a child. She's had surgery to decrease some of the pain, but still must choose footwear carefully and wear orthotics regularly. Despite the pain, she stays physically active with walking, spinning, and yoga.
What was your first sign that something was wrong? What symptoms did you experience?
I've had bunions since I was a kid. I always had extremely wide, flat, misshapen feet with a large bony protrusion on the inside below the big toe. Squeezing my feet into stylish shoes was not an option for me. It hurt too much and wasn't worth it to me. My main symptoms were pain and redness around the bunion itself.
What was the diagnosis experience like?
It's hard for me to remember the diagnosis of bunions because it happened when I was so young. It was probably done by my pediatrician. My mother and her brother both have bunions, as does my sister, so it wasn't a great shock. However, I have the worst case in my family.
How was your bunion treated?
Before surgery was an option, I simply managed with proper footwear–wide shoes and the like. A podiatrist told me recently that I should have been wearing orthotics in my shoes since I was a kid, but the ones given to me were much too large and bulky, even for my sensible shoes. An earlier podiatrist had even given me some sort of brace to wear that is supposed to realign your big toes by preventing the tendency for them to point inward. These, unfortunately, were useless, which is fine because I didn't wear them anyway (too uncomfortable and unrealistic).
Eventually, when the bunion on my right foot got so bad that the skin was beginning to break, I opted for surgery. I had to go in for several consultations, x-rays, and examinations so that they could determine the extent of surgery needed. X-rays typically focus on the angle between the 1st and 2nd metatarsal bones. My bunion was large and required a more extreme form of surgery where they removed 2 wedges of bone, with the intention of realigning the big toe and metatarsal bones. The result was not a "normal" foot, but rather a smaller bunion. I have much less pain in the right foot than in the left. That was 5 years ago.
The left bunion has become more troublesome and I've considered having surgery on it. A podiatrist advised me that by keeping my feet in the proper position using orthotics, I could actually postpone or avoid completely the need for the second operation.
Did you have to make any lifestyle changes in response to your bunions?
Basically I have to wear sensible shoes–shoes that are wide enough to accommodate my bunion and provide structure and support. I'm also committed to wearing my orthotics, especially during exercise (although sandal season doesn't much allow for that!)
What advice would you give to anyone living with a bunion?
Anyone with a bunion should know that although it is a genetic condition, they can affect the progression of the problem. Wearing proper footwear, getting fitted for orthotics, and seeing a podiatrist regularly can really make a difference.

I am having loss of power issues.
Obviously by my question you can tell i am not repeat not a mechanic!!!! Ad I am not a blonde girl either!!!!
BMW 535i Recalls
Increased resistance at the electrical contact points may cause damage to the ground terminal and housing of the connector. This can result in an intermittent or permanent loss of one or more rear lamp functions (tail, brake, turn-signal, reverse). Intermittent light operation reduces the ability to warn other motorists of the driver's intentions, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the rear lamp bulb carriers to correct this concern.
The insulated connector for the positive battery cable may have been incorrectly attached to the trunk floor panel, which can lead to a loosening of the bolt connection. Loosening of the connection can cause an increase in electrical resistance and overheating of the cable connection, which could lead to a fire, even when the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been completed. Dealers will secure the battery bolt cable connection as necessary to correct this concern.
The fuel level sensor is the sensor located in the fuel tank that tells the vehicle how much fuel is in the fuel tank. This sensor has a float attached to it that may become wedged against the fuel tank, causing the float to be stuck in one spot instead of "floating" on top of the fuel in the tank. Because the float can not move, the instrument cluster will indicate that the fuel level is still full, even though it empty. Running the vehicle out of fuel will result in the vehicle shutting off (stalling) while driving down the road. BMW will replace the fuel level sensor free of charge. If you own a 2010 or 2011 5-series and did not receive a notice, contact BMW at 1-800-525-7417 or the national highway traffic Safety Administration at 1-888-327-4236 to verify this recall does not apply to your vehicle. You may need the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), located on a placard attached to the vehicle's driver side door frame. Your vehicles production date is also on this placard.

Real-Time Communication Server Overview
Real-Time Communication Server Overview
March 10, 2004
Four types of servers comprise our real-time communication category:
Chat servers enable a large number of users to exchange information in an environment similar to an Internet newsgroups but with real-time discussion capabilities.
IRC, or Internet Relay Chat servers, are a collection of server networks (or 'nets') that allow users to connect to each other via an IRC network.
Instant messaging servers, like chat servers, facilitate communication in real time. However, while a chat room environment typically handles two or people involved in one or many discussions, instant messaging generally involves one conversation between two people.
Instant messaging gateway servers act as the intermediary between consumer instant messaging networks and internal corporate networks. The server overlays IT management, compliance, and security features onto plain-text, unencrypted and anonymous public instant messaging clients.

Shaw Communications confirms Rogers Communications intention to acquire licenses
Shaw Communications (SJR) confirmed that Rogers Communications (RCI) announced its intention to exercise its option to acquire Shaw's spectrum licenses for advanced wireless service in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Northern Ontario. Rogers acquired the option as one of a number of transactions announced on January 14, 2013. On exercise of the option, Rogers would pay Shaw $100M. With the $50M purchase price for the option and $200M down payment, each paid by Rogers to Shaw in 2013, the total proceeds for the sale of Shaw's spectrum would be $350M. The transaction is expected to close by the end of June.
Rogers Communications to buy Mobilicity, acquire spectrum from Shaw
Rogers Communications (RCI) said it will immediately boost speed and quality for wireless customers in BC, Alberta and Southern Ontario as part of a series of transactions, as the company is completing the previously announced acquisition of Shaw's (SJR) AWS-1 spectrum and acquiring 100% ownership of Mobilicity. The company is also divesting, post transaction, certain AWS-1 spectrum to WIND Mobile that is contiguous to their spectrum holdings. As per the previously announced terms to complete the Shaw spectrum acquisition, Rogers will pay C$100M in addition to the down payments made when the agreement was originally announced in January 2013. The transaction with Mobilicity is supported and was facilitated by The Catalyst Capital Group, on behalf of investment funds managed by it, working closely with Rogers on the structuring of the transaction. The C$440M purchase price is offset by tax losses valued at approximately C$175M which Rogers will acquire. The transaction is subject to working capital adjustments. Following the acquisition of spectrum from Shaw and Mobilicity respectively, Rogers and WIND will undertake an AWS-1 spectrum swap in Southern Ontario to create contiguous spectrum for Rogers. Rogers will also divest certain non-contiguous AWS-1 spectrum to WIND Mobile in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Northern Ontario and Eastern Ontario. The purchase of Mobilicity is subject to approval by the Competition Bureau and the Court. The transactions have been approved by Industry Canada.

The annual general conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is approaching, and, in honor of that, I share one of my favorite moments from among the many conferences I've heard:
It was April 1985, he knew that he was dying, and, in fact, he had less than two weeks to live.
Can any reasonable person seriously deny that he was a Christian?
And, while I'm on that theme, let me mention the sacrament service that I attended this morning.
We led off by singing this hymn, which is among my very favorites. I love the music, of course. The melody is originally by Hans Leo Hassler (d. 1612), but it was reworked by the greatest composer of them all, Johann Sebastian Bach (d. 1750). The specific lyrics below, however, were written by Karen Lynn Davidson, a contemporary Latter-day Saint:
O Savior, thou who wearest
A crown of piercing thorn,
The pain thou meekly bearest,
Weigh'd down by grief and scorn.
The soldiers mock and flail thee;
For drink they give thee gall;
Upon the cross they nail thee
To die, O King of all.
No creature is so lowly,
No sinner so depraved,
But feels thy presence holy,
And through thy love is saved.
Though craven friends betray thee,
They feel thy love's embrace;
The very foes who slay thee
Have access to thy grace.
Thy sacrifice transcended
The mortal law's demand;
Thy mercy is extended
To ev'ry time and land.
No more can Satan harm us,
Though long the fight may be,
Nor fear of death alarm us;
We live, O Lord, through thee.
What praises can we offer
To thank thee, Lord Most High?
In our place thou didst suffer;
In our place thou didst die,
By heaven's plan appointed,
To ransom us, our King.
O Jesus, the anointed,
To thee our love we bring!
Can anybody plausibly argue that the sentiments expressed in these wonderful words aren't Christian?
A few minutes later, while the sacrament (communion), which is the devotional heart of our Sunday worship, was being prepared, we sang these words, written by the early Latter-day Saint poet Eliza Snow (d. 1887):
How great the wisdom and the love
That filled the courts on high
And sent the Savior from above
To suffer, bleed, and die!
His precious blood he freely spilt;
His life he freely gave,
A sinless sacrifice for guilt,
A dying world to save.
By strict obedience Jesus won
The prize with glory rife:
"Thy will, O God, not mine be done,"
Adorned his mortal life.
He marked the path and led the way,
And every point defines
To light and life and endless day
Where God's full presence shines.
We didn't sing the fifth and sixth verses, but they expand upon the same thoroughly Christian theme:
How great, how glorious, how complete,
Redemption's grand design,
Where justice, love, and mercy meet
In harmony divine!
In memory of the broken flesh
We eat the broken bread;
And witness with the cup, afresh,
Our faith in Christ, our Head.
Again, is it even remotely reasonable to describe these lyrics as non-Christian?
Midway through the same service, my wife and I joined with the choir to sing these words:
There is a green hill far away,
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified
Who died to save us all.
We may not know, we cannot tell,
What pains he had to bear.
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.
There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin.
He only could unlock the gate
Of heav'n and let us in.
Oh, dearly, dearly has he loved,
And we must love him too,
And trust in his redeeming blood
And try his works to do.
These lyrics also sound Christian, do they not? And what about these, from the closing hymn of the sacrament service?
I know that my Redeemer lives.
What comfort this sweet sentence gives.
He lives! He lives who once was dead!
He lives! my ever-living friend!
He lives! To bless me with his love.
He lives! To plead for me above.
He lives! My hungry soul to feed.
He lives! To bless in time of need.
He lives! To grant me rich supply.
He lives! To guide me with his eye.
He lives! To comfort me went faint.
He lives! To hear my soul's complaint.
He lives! To silence all my fears.
He lives! To wipe away my tears.
He lives! To calm my troubled heart.
He lives! With blessings to impart.
I've said nothing whatever about the talks, and nothing about the invocation and the benediction, and nothing about the sacrament prayers, all of which were spoken, explicitly, "in the name of Jesus Christ."
It's simply crazy, from my point of view, to claim that Latter-day Saints aren't Christian.

The first poster, presented on Tuesday June 26th by Larry Boise, PhD from the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami highlighted preclinical data demonstrating darinaparsin (ZIO-101) may have activity in myeloma patients who have already been treated with and no longer respond to arsenic trioxide.
The second poster, presented today by James R. Berenson, M.D., Berenson Oncology, Inc., West Hollywood, CA, and principal investigator, reiterates interim phase II data from two ongoing studies recently presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Meeting in Chicago. The two ongoing phase II studies are evaluating the preliminary efficacy and safety profile of different treatment schedules (5 consecutive days every four weeks; twice weekly for 3 weeks, every four weeks) in patients with advanced/progressive myeloma (patients to date have had a median of 7 prior therapies). As reported, of the 14 patients treated 5 consecutive days, there are 10 patients evaluable for efficacy, with 4 out of the 10 (40%) achieving stable disease greater than 4 months duration. Data from the twice weekly study is not yet evaluable (3 patients treated). Darinaparsin has been well tolerated and no clinically relevant QT prolongation, bone marrow suppression or neuropathy has been observed with either treatment schedule.
"With the passage of time it bec
