Agree entirely with JACKMAC and others who have commented in a similar vein. I am a Queensland volunteer bush firie and have been 'up close and personal' helping out at Murphys Creek, Lowood (arguably a victim of the very problem which JACKMAC describes) and Grantham.
Those, such as the deplorable Prof Garnaut, who attribute the recent floods and cyclone in Queensland to 'climate change' demean the good sense and resilience of real Queenslanders. They know that far worse weather events struck our State quite often in the 1800s, let alone in later years. The loss of life was far greater then although the population was tiny compared to now. If CO2 has caused the recent storms what does Prof Garnaut and his ilk suppose caused the many very violent Queensland storms in the 1800s? CO2 was then at a very low point.
Let us put this despicable 'climate change' rubbish aside and live in the real world.

The world's ending, and Julian probably shouldn't waste time lusting after his best friend. Turns out the apocalypse has a way of rearranging a guy's priorities, though, and all he can think about is Cory—gorgeous, strong, Cory, who's straight, just like Julian. Or is he? With the tension crackling between them, Julian doesn't know what to think.
When the two of them are stranded on the West Coast with the world-changing Blight right behind them, Julian starts wondering about missed opportunities and first times. If one night is all they have, he's determined to make it count. Of course, that only works if he can manage to figure out how he feels–and if Cory can do the same, before they lose their chance forever.

New research contends that the Milky Way alone is flush with billions of potentially habitable planets -- and that's just one sliver of the universe.
In a distant solar system, water-soaked chunks of rock that contain two of the key elements of a habitable planet have been spotted for the first time.
The space agency is giving up on restoring its planet-hunting spacecraft to full operational capability, but that doesn't mean the mission is over just yet.
European astronomers discover the closest-known exoplanet found so far, and it comes with a few surprises. Like, it's a little warmer than our planet.
In a long-awaited milestone, astronomers using a NASA space telescope have found a roughly Earth-size world, Kepler-22b, orbiting around a sun-like star where conditions may be favorable for life.
How close are we to finding alien life? CNET contributor Boonsri Dickinson visits Geoff Marcy's lab at the University of California at Berkeley to hunt for Earth-like planets. Using the Keck telescope in Hawaii and data from the Kepler telescope, Marcy can detect planets millions of miles away.
A Friday evening launch will send the Kepler spacecraft out into the Milky Way on a mission to discover places that might support life as we know it.
In the "Star Trek" universe, humans made contact with aliens in 2063. In the real world, scientists could beat that mark by decades, at least when it comes to detecting signs of life beyond this rock.
There's reason to believe that other planets might be better for supporting life as we know it, and they might not even be that far off, cosmically speaking.
Rocky planets that orbit a binary star system, like the fictional home of Luke Skywalker, were thought to be impossible, until now.

The 29-year-old daughter of Bernie Ecclestone bought the Aventador for £380,000 in 2012 and, according to ex-boyfriend, Omar Khyami, gave it to him as a birthday gift.
Mr Khyami had borrowed money from Elite Performance Cars Ltd and given the Lamborghini as security for the loan but Ms Ecclestone said Mr Khyami did not own the car. The Lamborghini was then sold to Ansol Trading Ltd by Elite.
The judge yesterday ruled the car was a gift from Ms Ecclestone to Mr Khyami.

Respond to Review of Fergburger
by catstack
Review: They have two veggies burgers that can be made vegan. One is a tempura fried tofu burger with veggies and sauce on it. The sauce that comes on it has dairy in it so you have to remove that to make it vegan but you can add the chipotle sauce as a good sub. The next is a falafel burger and you have to do something similar with that. I paid NZD $17 for the tofu burger and a side of frys. The burger is huge and the side of frys is large as well.

With this award Dr. LoGrasso joins the LKRR2 Consortium, established last year by the Michael J. Fox Foundation. The consortium is an international group of academic and industry partners dedicated to accelerating LRRK2 therapeutic development.
"I want to thank the Fox Foundation for their generous grant," LoGrasso said, "and for giving me the opportunity to study the links between these intriguing genetic mutations. The question our laboratory will explore is how SGK1 works and how it impacts the LRRK2 mutation. We're all hoping that ultimately this produces a new target for treatment intervention because there are no viable long-term treatments available today."
Since the 1960s the mainstay for the treatment of Parkinson's disease has been levodopa (L-DOPA), a drug that provides only symptomatic relief. Unfortunately, L-DOPA loses efficacy over time and has numerous side effects that limit its effectiveness.
Patients with Parkinson's disease suffer from a loss of dopaminergic neurons in a specific area of the brain. An estimated one million Americans are believed to suffer from the disease, according to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation; approximately 40,000 new cases are reported annually.
The LRRK2 gene was first linked to Parkinson's disease in 2004, and many believe it to be the most common genetic contributing factor to the disease. While hereditary forms of the disease are relatively rare an estimated five to 10 percent unlocking the mechanisms involved in both LRRK2 and SGK1 could eventually benefit all patients.
Mutations in the LRRK2 gene have been linked with an increased risk not only of Parkinson's disease, but also of Crohn's disease. SGK1 is involved in a number of biomolecular processes including inflammation, cell proliferation, and apoptosis or programmed cell death. It is believed that the gene also plays a role in brain disorders other than Parkinson's disease, such as schizophrenia

1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo Nickel, MS651937-D 5C Three-Legged MS65 NGC. FS-901. The discovery of the Three-Legged Buffalos was published in Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine in 1937-38, shortly after the coins were minted. This is a serendipity for collectors, and a similar story to the later 1955 Doubled Die Obverse Lincoln cent. Both were found soon after their creation, and today examples are readily obtainable for a price in nearly any grade desired. Only in the highest Mint State grades do examples command extremely steep prices. Both are also available in more reasonably attainable Mint State grades such as MS61 through MS63. A couple of thousand Three-Leggeds have been certified in Mint State at NGC and PCGS combined, with a only a small handful in the MS66-67 range, the latter only at NGC (3/11). Despite the large supply, the popularity of the variety is such that buyers eagerly snap up nice examples whenever they appear.
Satiny Surfaces With Rich Rose Toning
Satiny Surfaces With Rich Rose Toning
This coin has wonderfully satiny surfaces with even rose toning over each side. The satiny mint luster is noteworthy, as many Three-Legged nickels have subdued mint luster.

It is frustrating to watch a low-budget team perform poorly--It is worse to watch a mid-budget team like the Reds play poorly and waste money on what seems to be redundancy in the roster (see Castro, Juan, etc.). It would seem that allocating money wisely through contracts is essential for success (unless of course you have a budget upwards of 120 million to work with).
My question is: Are there groundrules which a GM of a lower to mid-level spending club can/should consider when formulating a philosophy of spending & payroll? I think this is an important question to consider as the Reds appear hellbent on riding the fence between contending and rebuilding--
I propose three, not earth-shattering, but basic rules for spending (feel free to add areas which I've missed):
1) Spending is relative to your division. You don't have to be better than every team in Baseball, just better than the immediate competition.
2) Only pony the big bucks for quantities which are in high demand, and then only when the attributes of the other areas of your team are of a sufficient quality themselves to render said team competitive. Otherwise, save the money--Sign higher quality draft-picks, spend on scouting/ international development. (Much has been made of payflex, I wonder whether org. have "philosophyflex" that allows them to change they way they allocate money based on the circumstances.
3) Avoid long-contracts like the plague--Never ever ever ever sign any player to a deal which approaches 7-9 years. Even if you have to pay more for a 4-5 year deal for a marquee player, chances are the inflating market is still going to make it look like a good deal in 5 years--Even better IMO to pay more for production you KNOW you are likely to get over the next 3 years, than to pay a cut-rate for production you're likely NOT to get in years 4 and beyond.

Asthma, a disorder of the lungs and airways, is generally characterized by
The goal of asthma treatment is to avoid triggers and control airway inflammation.
Spirometry and peak expiratory flow rate remain standard methods for diagnosing asthma; however, for patients with asthma symptoms and normal lung function, measurement of airway responsiveness by methacholine challenge or nitric oxide tests may help establish diagnosis.
Evidence for asthma management is based largely on studies carried out in adults. As researchers respond to a need for asthma studies in children, new management trends and challenges arise. For example, according to recent literature:

Re: [PATCH, REALTIME] nvidia-1.0-8178 and Linux-2.6.16-rt11
I finally figured out what causes the high latencies when starting and
stopping glxgears: it is in deed a "wbinvd". This single instruction can
cause up to 160 microseconds measured so far.
Depending on if NV_CPA_NEEDS_FLUSHING is defined or not,
then nv_flush_caches() will either use nvidia's own cache fluching
mechanism cache_flush() or global_flush_tlb() is called which in turn
calls flush_kernel_map().
Either way, both paths include a wbind instruction causing the latencies.
From what i can see so far, nv_flush_caches() is called in theses
* nv_vm_malloc_pages()
* nv_vm_free_pages()
* nv_vmap_vmalloc()
These functions are called when staring and stopping glxgears.
I didn't yet understood in detail why a full cache flushing would
actually be necessary when allocating and freeing memory, but
from what i have digged out so far, the reservered pages are
somehow prepared for DMA in the allocation routine and in order
to gurantee memory coherence when the nvidia chip accesses
the prepared pages, the cache is flushed.
This is IMHO a "brute force" method! It would be way more elegant
and less time consuming to specifically flushing only the pages
affected (using flush_cache_page(), flush_cache_vmap(), etc.)
rather than simply flushing the whole cache.
Another alternative might be to allocate the memory un-cached,
but just to check if it makes a difference concerning the real time
capabilites, because using un-cached DMA pages typically leads
to some preformance penalties. However, concerning how big
the performance loss is, it might by an acceptable solution.
Any feedback is highly appreciated!

Re: [PATCH, REALTIME] nvidia-1.0-8178 and Linux-2.6.16-rt11
and friends are not available on i386 (i'm more accustomed to PPC, where
these functions do a great job concerning DMA througput) and from the
nvidia glue code sources, i learned that DMA pages are un-cached
(actually need to be that way if flushing individal cache lines or
pages is not possible):
nv-vm.c, lines 294 - 300:
* when allocating new pages, we convert the kernel mapping from cached to * uncached to avoid cache aliasing. one problem with this is that cpus can * still contain data cached from these pages, in addition to stale ptes that * are cached and think the pages are still cached. normally, the cpu's self * snoop (SS) capability would catch this between cpus, but if the pages are * mapped through the agp aperture, SS is not capable of detecting these * conflicts.
instruction. Earlier, i suggested reading in big junks of bulk memory
in a loop to make sure that only a small number of cache lines are not
in sync with main memory before calling wbinvd (thus only a small number
of cache lines actually need to be flushed when wbinvd is called).
When i have time, i will implement this feature and let you know the results.
Maybe another solution would be to use the PCI DMA kernel interface:
nv-vm.c, lines 392 - 396:
* the official kernel interface for allocating dma memory is to use * pci_alloc_consistent. this will abstract many of the 32-bit issues from us * mentioned above and will allow us to clean our code up quite a bit. we're * migrating towards this interface, but it's not quite stable in all cases * yet. em64t is one such current case.
I think the PCI DMA kernel interface doesn't require wbinvd when
allocating un-cached memory - at least, i didn't yet recognized
high latencies, i.e. when network DMA buffers are allocated.
So having an nvidia driver using the PCI DMA kernel interface
could potentialy solve the latency issue.

Re: [PATCH, REALTIME] nvidia-1.0-8178 and Linux-2.6.16-rt11
@JaXXoN: last I checked, the interface you referred to above still didn't actually respect the PCI devices' DMA masks, which renders it unusable for older hardware with a limited address space. In any case, the choice of the allocation interface is orthogonal to this problem, the need for cache flushes would persist even if a different interface was used.
The reason for this is that change_page_attr() is used to update the kernel mappings of memory that's mapped into the AGP aperture or that's mapped into user space with the WC memory type, and that any cache lines and TLB entries for the old cached mappings need to be evicted before the (WC AGP/user mappings of the) memory can be used safely. For these kinds of memory, the GPU's DMA engine won't snoop the CPU caches (note that most AGP implementations aren't cache coherent). Many of the Xid problems reported with shipping kernels are the indirect result of problems where the kernel mappings aren't updated or the caches aren't properly flushed.
I thought that change_page_attr() tried to be smarter than to just issue the wbinvd instruction, at least on Linux/x86-64, but looking at the kernel source tree, that optimization was actually disabled.
I think without the ability to allocate from a pool of memory that has an uncached kernel mapping by default, I think you'd only get away without the change_page_attr()/wbinvd logic if you were using an Intel processor (though not by design, creating two mappings of the same piece of memory with conflicting memory types is illegal). On PCI-E systems, disabling PAT support and the change_page_attr()/wbinvd logic would probably also be safe with current NVIDIA Linux graphics driver releases, but that would incur a (potentially significant) performance penalty.

Re: [PATCH, REALTIME] nvidia-1.0-8178 and Linux-2.6.16-rt11
thanks for your quick but nevertheless detailed reponse - it sounds pretty
plausible, but confuses me even more:
I have compared how the linux kernel (in dma_alloc_consistent) and the
nvidia driver (in nv_vm_malloc_pages) are allocating memory for DMA
Both are using __get_free_pages(), but the kernel additionaly applies the
flag GFP_DMA, (which will allocate and map the pages uncached, as far
as i understand), while the nvidia module uses change_page_attr() afterwards
(which requires wbinvd to get the post-allocation changes in the PTEs fixed).
I adopted the kernel variant for the nvidia kernel module in nv-vm.c
(please find attached the appropriate patch):
1. added "GFP_DMA" to "NV_GFP_DMA32" (applied to __get_free_pages)
2. ifdef'ed out all occurances of change_page_attr()
3. commented out all occurances of nv_flush_cache()
The result is that the high latencies while starting/stopping glxgears disapeared!!
The highest latency measured under heavy load ("glxgears", "find /" and
"ping -s 6000 -f <ip of some other pc in my network>" in parallel) was
37 microseconds.
However, i have observed two side effects:
When the glxgears window is located on display 1 or 2 (twinview configuration
on first 7800GTX), then the frame rate drops to 13600 FPS (without the patch it
is about 16000 FPS), but when moving the window to display 3 (second 7800GTX),
then the frame rate recovers to the ususal 16000 FPS.
This might have something to do with the fact that nv_rm_malloc_pages()
actually differentiates between cached und uncached allocations while
i'm currently forcing all pages to be uncached. The cleaner method would be
to check if a cached or uncached allocation is desired and to add an appropriate
GFP-flag as additional parameter to NV_GET_FREE_PAGES() that is then applied
to __get_free_pages() accordingly. I will implement that and post if it makes any
Once during the experimentation, the screen freezed with symptoms
known from the in-famous "screen freezes but mouse pointer moves" bug.
However, in my case, glxgears was still running on the screen. Xorg and
glxgears both used 100% CPU time (each one on one core of the X2 Athlon).
I attached gdb from a remote machine: the X-server was looping somewhere
in nvidia_drv.o (only "??" symbols in the stack backtrace around here, so no
source of speculation what could be the problem) so it's probably a different
situation than for the nanosleep()/gettimeofday() issues discussed earlier.
I couldn't reproduce the problem and i'm not sure if it might also
happen in a system where the nowbinvd patch has not been applied
(however, the problem didn't yet showed up within hours of testing).
would you mind testing the attached patch and check if the
screen freezes for your setups?
Patch order:
Any feedback is highly appreciated!

Re: [PATCH, REALTIME] nvidia-1.0-8178 and Linux-2.6.16-rt11
@JaXXoN: the only way to switch the kernel mappings' memory type to UC is to use the change_page_attr() kernel interface, you'll need to do this no matter how you obtain ownership of the memory; the GFP_DMA flag doesn't control the cache attributes, it selects the zone the kernel allocates from (GFP_DMA instructs the kernel to allocate memory from the first 16MB of physical memory (for ISA devices), the new (as of Linux 2.6.15) GFP_DMA32 instructs the kernel to allocate memory from the first 4GB of physical memory). The problem you describe in B) is most likely the result of your changes to not use change_page_attr().

Re: [PATCH, REALTIME] nvidia-1.0-8178 and Linux-2.6.16-rt11
My biggest disconnect, here, was that on non-x86 hardware (i dealt with
caches and MMU so far : PPC, MIPS and ARM), there does only exist
a "Normal" (all cached) zone, because these architectures have instructions to
easily flush single cache lines affected by cache attribute changes.
I do now understand that x86 uses the first 16 MByte as DMA zone, uncached
by default, and if you need more uncached memory (as necessary for
3D graphics), then you need to take it from the Normal zone, mark it
uncached and call wbinvd. The later one, because x86 doesn't provide fine
grained cache manipulation instructions - bummer.
So the solution now would be to either a) extend the 16 MByte
"DMA Zone" and apply GFP_DMA for uncached allocations,
or b) to introduce a "DMA32 zone" and apply "GFP_DMA32".
I guess variant a) probably only requires to change some hard coded
value in the kernel sources (or does there even exist a boot option?),
but would most certainly cause problems with old ISA hardware (not
applicable in my case) or when using the floppy disk (avoidable in my case).
I think, version b) is the cleaner variant, but i read in the announcement
that the "DMA32 zone" has only been implemented for x86_64.
However, i can imagine it's only a couple of lines to add another zone.
In this context: the kernel log output tells:
127MB HIGHMEM available. 896MB LOWMEM available. found SMP MP-table at 000f5980 On node 0 totalpages: 262128 DMA zone: 4096 pages, LIFO batch:0 DMA32 zone: 0 pages, LIFO batch:0 Normal zone: 225280 pages, LIFO batch:31 HighMem zone: 32752 pages, LIFO batch:7
Maybe there does even exist a kernel boot option for the size of this zone
someone could provide to define the size of the DMA32 zone (default is 4GB?)?
I will check the kernel sources.
Anyway, how big should such a DMA32 zone actually be for 3D graphics
hardware? Probably depends on the application?!

Re: [PATCH, REALTIME] nvidia-1.0-8178 and Linux-2.6.16-rt11
i observered other high latencies, sometimes (discussed in another thread).
These are very likely caused by less easy to catch calls to nv_rm_malloc_pages().
Since only 16 Mbytes are reserved for DMA operations when my recent patch
is applied, and since this is very likely not sufficient, it's quite obvious why
the screen might freeze (rather than just causing high latencies).
In this context: Do you think this could also be a problem for other
nvidia users when their systems start running out of memory?

Re: [PATCH, REALTIME] nvidia-1.0-8178 and Linux-2.6.16-rt11
nanosleep() invoked by function nv001743x () in the nvidia_drv.so
X-server driver module. Zander, could you please check if this functions
may include code that could react allergic to changes in the (now more
fine grained) timing behaviour of nanosleep()? I can imagine that it is
"historically" possible that nanosleep() is called with only a few nanoseconds
as argument, but nanosleep() always at least waited a full system tick cycle
(10ms on 2.4 or 4ms on 2.6), but now with -rt, nanosleep() may return to fast,
confusing the nvidia driver?!
At least not yet - for details, please refer to my recent post.

Re: [PATCH, REALTIME] nvidia-1.0-8178 and Linux-2.6.16-rt11
@JaXXoN: the GFP_DMA zone isn't uncached by default, and neither is the GFP_DMA32 zone, both zones merely reflect the location in physical memory; note that a GFP_DMA32 zone isn't necessary on Linux/x86, since GFP_KERNEL is already limited to "low" (i.e. kernel logical) memory (you need to allocate "high" memory explicitely). The problems you're seeing when not calling change_page_attr() aren't due to the GFP_DMA zone being exhausted (though that explains performance problems, the < 16MB are woefully inadequate), they're caused by the fact that the pages' kernel mappings continue to be cached.

@JaXXoN: the above stack trace is insufficient to diagnose the problem, it's unclear to me at this point what's causing it. I suspect it may be related to how the driver yields, but I'll have to check.

You could probably imagine a world with too many Western-themed games for its own good. But that's not a world we live in at the moment. Games about gunslingers trying to stay alive in the Wild West just aren't common, and stuff like six-shooters and cowboy hats isn't nearly as popular in gaming as stuff like swords and helmets. This is understandable, seeing as odds are good that your dad is much more likely to be a fan of Clint Eastwood movies than you are. Nonetheless, there's definitely room for a good Western game every now and then, and Wild Arms 3, the latest in what's now a long-running series of role-playing games, definitely fits that bill. Actually, superficial Western touches aside, Wild Arms 3 is a pretty conventional Japanese RPG that's similar to its predecessor as well as to other games in the genre. And because of its great looks, gameplay twists, and good cast of characters, Wild Arms 3 should appeal to most anyone who likes games of this type.
The first Wild Arms game was released for the PlayStation in 1998 and put a different spin on a style of gaming that had recently been redefined by the epic Final Fantasy VII. First of all, there was no traditional sci-fi or swords-and-sorcery setting to be found in the game, but rather a hybrid Western fantasy world filled with monsters and mystical firearms--the title of the game in fact refers to these weapons. Also, though it basically played like other role-playing games of its time, Wild Arms included a number of action adventure elements to keep the gameplay interesting whenever you weren't engaged in battle. Wild Arms 3 carries on all these traditions, but with a new set of playable characters, a new world to explore, and some much improved production values since the last installment. It's worth noting that 2000's Wild Arms 2 was considered something of a disappointment for being too similar to its predecessor for its own good. The same criticism could be leveled at Wild Arms 3, though it's been long enough since the previous game that this sequel's prospective audience probably won't see this sequel as a rehash.
You control a party of four different characters throughout most of Wild Arms 3. These include a determined girl named Virginia, who sports a couple of high-powered six shooters; a well-mannered, well-intentioned sniper named Clive; a good-natured but somewhat thickheaded Native American-looking man named Gallows, who uses a sawed-off shotgun in battle; and your prototypical too-cool-for-you anime loner, named Jet, who's armed with a machine gun. Though these four by no means break the mold in terms of character design, and though the circumstances in which they decide to forge an alliance are pretty iffy, the heroes of Wild Arms 3 end up being likable. Over the course of the game's story, they'll often learn from each other and help each other out, and each character has his or her own unique abilities and well-defined personality traits. So collectively, they're a good gang.
Wild Arms 3 follows the RPG formula without much variation. There are lots of random battles to be fought, a number of towns to be visited, a number of dungeons to be explored, a number of secrets and hidden treasures to be found, and a number of powerful villains to be vanquished. Besides the fact that much of the game takes place in dusty, windswept regions reminiscent of the Old West, the twists in the game's combat and exploration sequences certainly help distinguish Wild Arms 3 from other RPGs out there. For one thing, though you'll often stumble into random battles, Wild Arms 3 gives you a chance to avoid some of them by timing a button press just before a fight begins. You can skip only so many random battles before your ability to do so is used up (until you rest at an inn), but it's still nice to be able to bail out of the occasional fight before it even starts. Still, this once-innovative feature now seems like a strange way of addressing the problem shared by many RPG players that, well, random battles in RPGs are getting to be pretty old.
Part of the reason you'll want to make good use of the evade-encounter feature is that the combat in Wild Arms 3, while decent, isn't that great. It's pretty simple--you can order your group to attack, guard, use magic (or "arcana" as they call it), or use items. The order in which characters act is based on their initiative, but everyone gets to act during a given turn. As your characters hit their foes, and get hit by their foes, they'll accrue FP (force points) that can then be used to initiate a few special moves or arcana. Your FP levels always start low in each fight, so it's only later on in a battle--if it even lasts that long--that you can unleash some of your most powerful attacks. You may be curious to know how guns figure into the combat in Wild Arms 3, and one way of looking at it is, they sort of don't--at least not in any meaningful tactical fashion. Replace the graphics and sounds of the guns with graphics and sounds of swords, and the combat in Wild Arms 3 could still be exactly the same. Characters do randomly move about the battlefield during their turns, and the distance between the attacker and the target does make a bit of difference, but not much. Simply put, Wild Arms 3's gun battles are more or less the same sorts of slugfests seen in most other RPG combat systems.
Exploration in Wild Arms 3 is a bit different from the norm. The out-in-the-open travel sequences, which fans of the series should be familiar with, aren't quite the straightforward point-A-to-point-B affairs of other RPGs. But that's not to say they're better. The catch is, you need to "search" the area for any locations of note. So, for example, you might get tipped off that there's an ancient dungeon to the east, and then you'll just head on eastward, sending sonarlike search pulses every few steps while trying to avoid random encounters. The weird thing is, the movement speed on the overworld map is extremely fast, lending these sequences an awkward stop-and-go feel that you'll quickly grow weary of. Things fare better inside dungeons (and other interior locations), where there's often a satisfying sense of questing to be had. Your different characters can each use different tools to help get them past different obstacles or to solve puzzles, and these challenges require just enough hand-eye coordination and thinking to serve effectively as a change of pace from all the fighting.
Of course, the story unfolds in between all this, and it's told in a typical fashion mostly using in-engine 3D cutscenes and lots of text. The dialogue is translated well from the original Japanese, and the main characters' respective personalities do tend to come across quite clearly. And while the story goes through many of the usual paces, Wild Arms 3 is a lengthy game that does a solid job of keeping you interested both in the four protagonists and also in a number of their adversaries. The game's generally upbeat tone and occasional use of good-natured humor serve to keep things lively.
Wild Arms 3 has an inspired look to it, something that really benefits an RPG, since these are the sorts of games that you might find yourself sitting in front of for hours on end--they might as well look good. The graphics aren't exactly cel-shaded. As with many of the cartoony games released recently, you'll notice a thick black border around all of Wild Arms 3's fully 3D characters. Yet the textures on the characters aren't flat, but rather have an interesting-looking impressionist blotchiness to them that, if nothing else, looks unusual. This, along with their clearly visible facial expressions, smooth animations, and fully articulated hands, gives the Wild Arms 3 characters a lot of personality. There's considerable detail and decent variety in the game's environments, as well. Each area of an environment tends to be pretty small, but the fully rotatable 3D isometric perspective still affords you with plenty to look at.
A fittingly Western-sounding soundtrack, complete with lots of twanging and whistling, serves Wild Arms 3 well. Some of the tracks do get a bit repetitive, but others effectively serve as themes for different types of situations. The rest of the game's sound effects aren't too noteworthy, though hearing the game's various firearms go off might be a real relief from the sorts of sounds you may be used to from all the combat in other recent RPGs. In any event, perhaps even more so than the graphics, the audio in Wild Arms 3 does a nice job of setting a different sort of tone for the game, one that those who play a lot of RPGs are likely to appreciate.
Actually, those who play a lot of RPGs are likely to appreciate Wild Arms 3 on most counts. It's a well-made game that defies a few aesthetic conventions but leaves most tried-and-true Japanese RPG gameplay elements well enough alone. And since there's a lot of it to keep you busy for a while, Wild Arms 3 is recommended to role-playing fans in general, and particularly to those intrigued by the theme of this game.

1990 Lexus LS400 Q&A
1990 Lexus LS400 Question: what part need replacement
power steering fluid is vaccumed into the exhaust manifold and smoking out of my tailpipe, which part need replacement? - garydarkinssr
6 Answers
Answer 1
I have seen the steering high pressure hose leak (deteriorates over time because of heat in the engine compartment). I have seen the seal between the Power steering resivior and pump fail and the pump itself to fail and leak. There is a black plastic switch mounted on the Power Steering Pump (with two rubber vacuum hoses on it) that allows the engine idle speed to be automatically raised when you crank the steering wheel while parking, if that switch failed power steering fluid could be drawn into the engine and burned in the engine. With the engine turned off disconnect those two small diameter vacuum hoses (they just pull off), see if there is oil inside the hoses. Start the engine and see if you can spot a leak while you get a friend to turn the steering wheel from side to side (ensure the fluid level is full but not over full). You will have to wash down the engine and area of the power steering pump first to pin point the source of the leak before just replacing parts in hopes of fixing the leak. A repair shop will often wash down the engine and add dye to the steering fluid that will show up under a black light. Are you sure it is power steering fluid that is being burned ny the engine? Could you have a power steering leak and an engine that has worn valve guides or rings and is actually burning engine and not power steering fluid. I have seen valve guide wear on high mileage LS400s that puff a large cloud of smoke when the engine is first started. - patrick mannion
Answer 2
I have the same problem with my 1991 LS400.. Never had smoke come out the tail pipes till I found out my power steering kept running out of fluid, but I could find Not 1 drop of fluid under the car, till I stopped putting fluid in it, after a day or 2, it stopped Smoking, Good!!! for a minute there I thought my engine was about to go. Not the case. It was the the High presure line leaking into Vacuum line switch from power steering burning out the exhaust. - phewjr

Class of 1991 Fall Letter
Fall 2012
Dear Friends and Fellow Classmates Of 1991,
One day I found a longtime patient in my dental chair, and he told me that he had not previously known I was a Luther graduate. He went on to tell me his daughter had gone to Luther, and what a wonderful experience she had during her years there. We went on to discuss the fine education, great friendships, and passion for learning that had occurred on this lovely campus in northeastern Iowa we call Luther.

"Experiential learning is a major cornerstone of the EcoGastronomy dual major. Some experiences were:
- participate in outside activities and write about them
- field trips to farms, composting areas, farmers markets, and the like
- hands on learning in a professional kitchen by actually cooking different kinds of dishes and entire meals
- research on a real town in the community and wrote an actual needs assessment and then wrote a grant for an intervention project that we had developed for the town
- farm visits, attend guest lectures, participate in community pot luck dinners, herb walks and group cooking experiences, intern with kindergarten kids at the Early Sprouts program at the CSDC (Child Study and Development Center) on campus, participate in the organic garden club, SlowFood UNH, and the Waysmeet food drive for the cornucopia food basket.

The sun is the source of life-sustaining energy here on Earth. Much of how it works - and affects us -- remains a source of scientific mystery. Sunspots were first recorded by humans in the 16-hundreds. Astrophysicists have since linked heightened sunspot activity with the solar wind. It's a million-mile-an-hour force of magnetically-charged particles emanating from the sun's upper atmosphere. Ebbing and flowing in minimum and maximum intensities over eleven year cycles, this so-called space weather can seriously affect how things work here on Earth, such as disrupting satellite communications, telephone service and personal electronics.
Arik Posner, Program Scientist: "It would help our technology, to safeguard the technology by knowing when and in what intensity space weather occurs and where these effects might show up"
Launch Announcer : "2 -1 ignition and liftoff of Discovery and the Ulysses spacecraft bound for the polar regions of the sun."
Until the launch of Ulysses from space shuttle Discovery in 1990, data for understanding and predicting space weather had come from a limited sampling area: the plane extending from the suns equator. Ulysses has since made three orbits above and below the poles of the sun, vastly expanding the territory from where raw space weather data are gathered.
Arik Posner: "So Ulysses was really the first spacecraft that leaped out of this confinement, and it gives us a view of the global heliosphere."
Ulysses has found that the solar minimum were in right now is producing the lowest levels of solar wind seen since accurate readings became available a half-century ago. But for heliophysicists, these data raise as many questions as they answer.
Arik Posner: "The Space Age is only 50 years now, and the Sun just operates on longer time scales than these 50 years. So we might have just glimpsed just the surface of what is really going on."
By expanding its reach, both in time and space, Ulysses is helping the discipline of space weather prediction grow beyond its infancy for the betterment of life here on Earth.

Haunted houses step up fear factor this year
NAPLES - Ready for eerie screams, goosebumps and a scare back in time? Then you might want to consider checking out one — or more — of the various haunted houses that have been erected by everyone from Boy Scouts to private businesses to spook their fellow Southwest Florida neighbors.
For the third consecutive year, the young men and women of Boy Scout Troop 2001 and Venture Crew 2001 have once again designed a haunted house to send chills down spines of even the most seasoned haunted house fans.
"This year's theme is 'Haunted Rewind' with scary flashbacks to remind everyone of Alfred Hitchcock movies, such as 'The Birds,' 'Psycho,' and 'The Mystery of the Moaning Cave,' where a brave bandit totally disappeared into a cave, to never reappear again," said Erica Flesher, a sophomore at Barron Collier High School and member of Venture Crew 2001, a co-ed Boy Scout program.
For Flesher, who is serving as the haunted house president, the third year of building a haunted house is magically marvelous with her fellow Scouters.
"It will be bigger and better than last year, and the maze will be one of the best parts," said Flesher.
"It's really crowded on the first day, and then there are lighter crowds after that," she recalled of many spooktacular tours of the haunted house in previous years.
The funds raised during this year's "Scare Back In Time" haunted house will go toward the troop and venture crew's hiking trip and supplies for their planned Philmont excursion. Philmont, located in New Mexico, is one of the oldest Scouting camps in the nation. Established in 1938, the high adventure camp offers insights into history of Native Americans, as well as hundreds of miles of rocky trails for groups of Venture crews, scouts and leaders to hike together.
Though Scouts gathered plenty of donations to build this year's haunted house, they are still shy of some ghostly supplies.
"We're looking for businesses to donate some paint and PVC pipes, and anything for a good haunted house," said Chris Nightingale, a Scout leader and haunted house volunteer.
Along with taking a tour back in time with Scouts, haunted house fans can also partake in the Fright Factory of Naples, which consists of more than 20,000 scary feet of terrifying twists and turns. There is also the Kiwanis haunted house at Gulf Coast Town Center, where all proceeds go to helping the community.
For those who are a bit squeamish and would rather celebrate Halloween by decorating a pumpkin, there are plenty of options available for those folks as well. Pumpkin patches at St. Monica's Church and United Methodist Church in North Naples provide ideal photographic fall settings for families to pose in costume together, or to select a pumpkin to carve into a Jack-o-lantern for the front of a home.

I'm seeing this guy but I think he is still sleeping with his ex.
I really like this guy, we only kissed for now, but for some reasons (obvious ones) I'm sure he is still seeing and sleeping with his ex. How should... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I'd suggest getting out of the situation - as in, to put it mildly - RUN!
You don't want to involve yourself in the circular relationship pattern of this guy. Unless you really really love him, in which case you should confront him about the "crazy woman" (lol) - but if he still keeps up the relationship with his ex, then you should leave. You said you were friends right? What if you just kept it that way? What you don't want is to place yourself in a place where you're constantly in a state of waiting for him, hoping that he'll snap out of it someday and realize you're the one for him. That's the worst thing you can do to yourself.
What Guys Said 1
What Girls Said 2
Don't make him a priority if you're only an option. If you are not dating him, he can sleep with who he wants. But since you know that you are not his priority right now, don't make him yours. Keep seeing him casually and don't go any further than kissing. Date other guys, you dont' have to only see one person at a time. Date other guys and don't spend as much time with this guy. Then pick the best one for you. If anything I feel bad for his ex!

Six-Month Follow-Up Shows Reduced Stenosis, Healthy Endothelial Regrowth in Vessel Treated Proactively for Vulnerable Plaque
DOYLESTOWN, Pa., June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Six months after placement of a vProtect(TM) Luminal Shield to treat a "vulnerable" plaque, a follow-up exam revealed reduced plaque burden and reduced stenosis in the target vessel. The exam was part of the SECRITT I trial, a randomized study designed to evaluate the vProtect(TM) Luminal Shield as a prophylactic treatment for non-flow-limiting vulnerable plaques. The SECRITT I trial is sponsored and conducted by
The patient, a 75-year-old woman, was treated six months earlier for a culprit lesion in the left anterior descending coronary artery. At that time the SECRITT investigators, using a combination of imaging techniques, also located a vulnerable plaque in the patient's left circumflex artery. The lesion was unremarkable by angiography (37% diameter stenosis); such lesions are usually not treated, even though vulnerable plaques are prone to rupture with potentially fatal consequences. A 3.5 mm vProtect(TM) Luminal Shield was placed in the vessel (reference vessel diameter 2.74 mm), resulting in a post-procedural stenosis of 30%.
The 6-month angiographic follow-up exam was performed per study protocol using a variety of imaging techniques: multi-slice CT, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), IVUS-virtual histology (IVUS-VH), angiography, and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Additional details on the SECRITT I
