good conversation and laughter
Okay, writing about yourself is impossibly hard because we are all so full of contradictions. I am warm, kind, practical and shy....and bold, spontaneous and will say 'yes' to almost anything. I think of myself at home listening to Nina Simone on my record player drinking whiskey or at bam watching some film with all the other Brooklyn hipsters but I don't really fit in there. I am the type of warm generous person you want to take home to meet your family and then I will accidentally swear in front of your grandmother. I've never taken a selfie and won't know the tv show or celebrity you are talking about, I prefer be taken away by a good book. My friends tell me they enjoy my openness and ability to laugh at myself and the situations I get myself into. I laugh a lot. I have lived in Brooklyn my entire adult life and consider it home. Currently I perform in the off broadway show Sleep No More in Manhattan (so I have the exact opposite schedule of most of the world, working late into the night and sometimes seeing the dawn). I enjoy films and photography (I secretly hope to become a great filmmaker (of silent films, wave of the future I'm sure) or narrative photographer) I want to explore the world. I am spontaneous and have a true gift for finding beauty and ease in all things. I am looking for someone who is bold and excited about their life...because I am excited by mine. Hopefully you live in Brooklyn or Manhattan. Hopefully you will just ask me out and not interview me because this is such an odd way to meet people and I'd rather grab a drink and have a conversation. I'm awesome, I promise. I admire warmth, openness, integrity and humor. Oh yeah, and I have a shaved head for work. and I know that my pictures don't reflect the 'I'm so normal' image I am going for, but I seem to only allow pictures of myself late into the night at Sleep No More parties. and the parties are amazing.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering
the mckittrick hotel or the meatball shop most nights. the clover club. anywhere with a good whiskey selection. BAM cinema, IFC.
bars with fireplaces, baking, warm rich chocolate chip cookies, whiskey, my camera, my friends, my job, seeing the sunrise, the possibility and vibrance of the city, being on the water, staring at the horizon and meeting interesting people.
really great coffee in a shop with a window so I can watch the world go by, conversation, travel by train, old films and documentaries. I get endlessly excited by nature programs like Blue Planet. Photography.
Blood Meridian by Cormac Mccarthy. so good. Also love The Old Man and the Sea written by Ernest Hemingway

Dancing Miami Marlins Fan Simply Cannot Contain His Enthusiasm
Brewers Score Three Runs On Wild Pitch
One of the things I love about baseball is anything can happen on any given day. You could see a grand slam, a key home run, an inside the ballpark home run a no hitter or even a perfect game. However, I never thought I'd see the day three runs were scored on a wild pitch, which happened between the Milwaukee Brewers and Colorado Rockies last night

What's the verdict on Halo's built-in Timedemo?
Is it a usable performance indicator? Is it buggy? Does it not enable/disable feature options correctly? Is it worth benchmarking with?
... I have separate gameplay benched already with fraps, but I also have plenty of timedemo results ... I've heard rumblings in many forums debating the timedemo's validity... causing me to question it myself...
It does a good job in doing what it was designed to do. However, I don't like the way it interprets results. Fraps' measurements are more to my liking.
It appears to read fps even on the transisitons and the stutters that go along with them... on an average, teh halo timedemo results I've tabulated are ~2pfs lower than when I measure each sequence with fraps... right now the 5900's doin 38 @ 10x7, all highest IQ, no aa/af, specular on @ stock, 41 OC'ed... FRAPS gives me 40/43... without specular, the timedemo gives me 40 and 43, and fraps gives me 42 and 45...
... my cpu must be limiting the perf. increase of disabling specular...
... and why in the world does Particles get turned off in the timedemo? I have it enabled in halo's menu options... :confused:
It sucks & it's silly!
Why benchmark the cut-scenes? They ain't very representative of the games actual gameplay. :rolleyes:
Is it built in the demo?
I have not seen it anywhere? :confused:
That duh was to me for making the incorrect observation... :p

**ONE OF FIVE WORKS I'M OFFERING OR SOON WILL BE OFFERING BY THE ARTIST (see also JB01264, JB02329, JB02330), this is an etching on paper print, 8 5/8" by 10 1/2" inside the mat (14 1/4" by 16 1/4" as framed), signed in pencil at lower left by noted western American artist GEORGE ELBERT BURR (1859-1939). At lower right is written the title of the work, "Summer Cloud--Apache Trail--Ariz". Burr's etchings and watercolors of the Great Southwest, especially Arizona and Colorado, are eagerly sought after by collectors. This example, showing a towering, billowing summer monsoon thundercloud boiling over a classic, arid southwestern landscape of distant buttes and mountains, is typical of his desirable Southwest desert images, which are among his most sought after etchings. Condition appears generally excellent, though the paper is browned where it was not protected by the mat. **ALLOW FOR REFLECTIONS IN THE IMAGES especially the dark looking area at upper left--just a reflection**. .
Fine paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture, Old Master to Contemporary--and other fine collectables
Please look through my offerings for an unusual and rewarding online fine art shopping experience.

Google Earth gets underwater layer
A new layer available to users of Google Earth will show underwater landscapes.
Part of the Outreach programme, aimed at giving non-profit and public benefit organisations the resources to reach the "minds and hearts" of the great unwashed, it will focus on the habitats of threatened species.
The new layer will feature video streams, photo galleries and stories from marine protected areas (MPAs) around the world, including the UK.
Natural England has contributed information about 43 marine sites around the coast of England with the hope of raising awareness for the need for underwater conservation.

Reds first baseman Joey Votto will go ahead and play for Canada in the World Baseball Classic, pleased with the way his knee has handled the first two weeks of spring training. Votto got the last spot on Canada's team, but wanted to waited to see how his left knee felt before making a commitment. He had surgery to repair torn cartilage last season, missed 48 games and wasn't at full strength when he returned for the end of last season. So far, his knee has felt fine. He even hit a home run last week, something he hadn't done since June 24 because he couldn't push off the knee after the. He played in eight of the Reds' first 11 exhibition games, going 6 for 16 with one homer and two doubles. Votto grew up near Toronto and played for Canada in the 2009 WBC. He has received the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame's Tip O'Neill Award each of the last three seasons. ''I look forward to playing for the team,'' Votto said. ''I look forward to being part of tournament. I had a great time las...

The Boot sequence basically tells the computer what operating system it uses and how to go about loading it. The system BIOS is what starts the computer running when you turn it on. The following are the steps that a typical boot sequence involves. 1. The internal power supply turns on and _________________. 2. The processor, which is suffering from ______________ looks Word List in the system ROM for the start of the BIOS boot program amnesia which contains a "jump" instruction telling the processor where to go to find the real BIOS startup program. boot 3. BIOS performs the power-on self test (________). COM 4. BIOS looks for the _________ card. configuration 5. BIOS then looks for other devices, eg the hard _______ drive. disk 6. BIOS ___________ the startup screen. displays 7. BIOS does the memory count-up test which you see on error the_________. initialises 8. BIOS performs a "system inventory" to determine what operating ________ of hardware is in the system. Plug and Play 9. BIOS searches for and labels logical devices (______ and LPT ports). POST 10. BIOS detects and configures _________________ devices at Screen this time and displays a message on the screen for each one it sort finds. video 11. BIOS displays a summary screen about your system's _____________. 12. BIOS begins the search for a drive to _______ from. (A, C, or even D). 13. BIOS looks for a master boot record 14. BIOS starts to boot the _______________ system. If the first device that the system tries (floppy, hard disk, etc.) is not found, the BIOS will then try the next device in the boot sequence, and continue until it finds a bootable device. 15. If no boot device at all can be found, the system will normally display an ________ message and then freeze up the system. What the error message is depends entirely on the BIOS, and can be anything from the rather clear "No boot device available" to the very cryptic "NO ROM BASIC - SYSTEM HALTED". This process is called a "cold boot" (since the machine was off, or cold, when it started). A "warm boot" is the same thing except it occurs when the machine is rebooted using {Ctrl}+{Alt}+{Delete} or similar. In this case the POST is skipped and the boot process continues roughly at step 8 above. d8ef4332-8533-4429-a23c-334c2adbfc00.doc 12 www.teachers.ash.org.au/ozmused/itclass.htm

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a not infrequent autoimmune bleeding disorder characterized by the abnormally low levels of blood cells called platelets, creating a condition known as thrombocytopenia. Platelets are specialized blood cells that help prevent and stop bleeding by inducing clotting. In many ITP cases, there are no readily apparent causes or underlying disease (idiopathic), but frequently there are associated collagen vascular diseases or underlying neoplasms, most frequently lymphoid. The cells of the immune system, lymphocytes, produce anti-platelet antibodies that attach to the platelets. The presence of antibodies on platelets leads to their destruction in the spleen. The disorder is characterized by abnormal bleeding into the skin resulting in bruising, which is what the term purpura means. Bleeding from mucous membranes also occurs, and may subsequently result in low levels of circulating red blood cells (anemia).
ITP presents as a brief, self-limiting form of the disorder (acute ITP) or a longer-term form (chronic ITP). Acute ITP accounts for about 50% of cases, and chronic ITP accounts for the remainder. Eighty percent (80%) of the children with ITP have the acute form while the chronic form affects mostly adults. The acute form usually resolves without treatment (spontaneously) within three to six months. When thrombocytopenia lasts for more than six to 12 months, ITP is classified as the chronic form. Onset of acute ITP is often rapid, while the onset of the chronic form may be gradual.
A child or adult with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura may display no symptoms (asymptomatic). Symptoms of ITP may not appear until the platelet count is extremely low. Such symptoms may include:
– Skin that bruises very easily
– A rash consisting of small red dots (petechiae) that represent small hemorrhages
– Bleeding from any area of the body made obvious by blood in urine or feces
– Bleeding from the gums
– Frequent and long-lasting nose bleeds
– Abnormal menstruation
In some cases, frequent bleeding episodes may result in low levels of circulating red blood cells (anemia), which may produce weakness and fatigue. Additionally, people with this disorder may experience fevers and abnormal enlargement of the spleen (splenomegaly). Some women with ITP may experience prolonged and heavy menstrual bleeding. In rare cases of ITP, a serious condition known as bleeding into the brain (intracranial hemorrhage) may occur.
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura belongs to a group of disorders in which the body's natural immune defenses inappropriately act against the body's own tissues (autoimmune disorders). In ITP, an abnormal immune reaction appears to lead to destruction of certain blood cells known as platelets. For reasons that remain as yet unknown, lymph tissues and the spleen are stimulated to produce anti-platelet antibodies that mistakenly attach to platelets, forming an "antibody-platelet complex". Antibodies are produced by the body's immune system to react to foreign substances, known as antigens. In many cases, the exact cause of the production of these anti-platelet antibodies is unknown (idiopathic), but in some underling collagen vascular/rheumatologic conditions as well as malignancy may stimulate antibody production
ITP affects normal platelets as they circulate through the spleen. The antibody-platelet complex is recognized as foreign by the immune system, which then goes to work to destroy it. After a while, the platelet count in the blood declines and thrombocytopenia (abnormally low numbers of platelets) ensues.
In children, ITP often occurs following an acute viral infection or upper respiratory illness suggesting that antibodies produced to fight foreign viral substances (antigens) may cross- react with the antigens and, in turn, destroy platelets.
Some cases resembling ITP may result from the use of certain drugs. According to the medical literature, Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that has been shown to cause stomach ulcers, is associated with the development of ITP in some cases.
The incidence of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura among adults annually in the USA has been estimated at 66 cases per million. The annual incidence among children has been estimated at about 50 cases per million of population. Chronic ITP is thought to make up about 10 cases per million per year.
The incidence varies from country to country with studies in Denmark reporting 10-40 cases per million per year. Other studies in Kuwait report 125 cases per million per year.
Among adults diagnosed with chronic ITP, there are 2.6 cases among women for every case involving a male. Among children diagnosed with acute ITP, the male to female ratio is almost equal, with 52% male to 48% female.
Among adults, the incidence is greatest at ages 20 to 50 years. Among children, the incidence is greatest at ages 2 to 4 years. About 40% of all patients diagnosed with one form of ITP are children younger than 10 years of age.
The diagnosis of ITP is usually made by excluding other causes of thrombocytopenia, including certain medications or the presence of disorders such as acute leukemia and aplastic anemia. The disorder is commonly without apparent symptoms (asymptomatic). Low platelet counts may be found after routine blood tests ordered for other purposes.
Blood tests to determine platelet counts and the presence of platelet antibodies are commonly ordered. Normal appearing red blood cells or white blood cells will rule out or exclude leukemia and/or aplastic anemia from the diagnosis. The presence of unusual cells in the blood will call for the use of a needle biopsy of the bone marrow.
In some cases, especially with the acute from of ITP, no therapy may be necessary and the disorder may resolve itself (spontaneous resolution). When therapy is necessary, treatment with corticosteroid drugs (e.g., prednisone) is usually administered, and this is the mainstay of therapy. If platelet levels do not improve after corticosteroid treatment, affected individuals may require ongoing treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), usually through monthly infusions, but this does not lead to a cure.
The orphan drug anti-D (WinRho SDF), a form of gammaglobulin, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of individuals with ITP who are RH positive and have not received a splenectomy. The drug may be used repeatedly in affected individuals, particularly children, who have the acute or chronic form of ITP. For information about this drug, contact:

Product Website: www.winrho.com
Anti CD20 antibody, Rituximab (Rituxn) reduces IgG antibody production and is frequently used in patients refractory to other therapies.
Because the spleen plays a role in destroying antibody-covered platelets, surgical removal of the spleen (splenectomy) may be recommended in cases where affected individuals fail to respond to steroids or who fail to maintain a remission when steroids are discontinued. Splenectomy improves platelet counts in approximately 70 percent of cases and can achieve a remission in 50 to 60 percent.
If the patient has antibodies or evidence of Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotics and proton pump inhibitors may ameliorate the condition. (This is much more common in Asia)
In 2008, the FDA approved Promacta manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) for patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura to increase platelet counts and reduce bleeding. According to GSK, Promacta is the first pill to treat the condition. Other medications are available from different manufactures with the same mechanism of action.
In 2008, the FDA approved romiplostim for subcutaneous injection (Nplate, made by Amgen Inc.) for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in patients with ITP who have had an insufficient response to corticosteroids, immunoglobulins, or splenectomy. Romiplostim is a thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist that stimulates bone marrow megakaryocytes to produce platelets.

The Jean Genie: Why Jean Genet Still Matters. In Plymouth (And Lots of Other Places). Right Now.
29 Jun 2014
Event times
1pm > 5pm
- 38 Looe Street
- Plymouth
- Devon
- United Kingdom
- www.plymouthartscentre.org
Travel Information
- Royal Parade, where many buses, terminate is a short walk away and Bretonside bus station is adjacent
- Plymouth station is a 15 minute walk away
An afternoon of talks and talking, with tea and coffee, ice cream, popcorn, and a glass of wine...
AboutThe event explores why the work of French writer, dramatist, film-maker and activist, Jean Genet, remains so powerful and fresh nearly 30 years after his death. It is the culmination of a performing arts project called Heaven on Earth? that has produced a touring theatre production and a film, and is engaging practitioners, participants and audiences across Europe - from Athens to Zaragoza, from Istanbul to Plymouth. The project is inspired by Genet's poetic vision and ethical commitment, especially to those excluded from mainstream society, and focuses on the dynamics between people and docks/ports. The afternoon ends with the UK premiere of Heaven is a Place, a dance film made by Kayla Parker, Roberta Mock and Ruth Way, with emergent professional performers and members of Plymouth's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans communities.

The Los Angeles Times' Don Frederick picks up on the panning Gov. Charlie Crist, R-Fla., got at a fundraising dinner last week in Orange County, Calif. In his appearance, Crist said that Ronald Reagan "came from right here in Orange County." (He must have had him confused with Nixon.) And note to staff: Not all Republicans love California's Republican governor.
Gov. Bill Richardson, D-N.M., weighs in on what might make a good vice president, then leaves the rest to our imagination: "We've ignored the Southwest. . . . We've ignored the Southwest Hispanic vote," he said Wednesday in New York, per The Washington Post's Keith B. Richburg. "If John Kerry had won New Mexico, Nevada and Colorado -- states he lost by two or three percent -- he'd be president today."
More buzz for Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va.: "He could become what Democrats have long needed: the soldiers' candidate," Dan Payne writes in a Boston Globe op-ed. "Webb on Webb: 'It's pretty safe to say that I am the only person in the history of Virginia to be elected to statewide office with a union card, two Purple Hearts, and three tattoos.' White guys like talk like that."
Bloomberg's Margaret Carlson likes the sound of "Vice President Al Gore." "The most important reason Gore should be vice president is that he's suffered and learned. He has the temperament some of us reach on our death beds. He could have fought on, but found honor in retreat," Carlson writes.
The New Republic's Ben Wasserstein talks up (and down) Mayor Michael Bloomberg, I-N.Y. -- for both tickets. "It's easy to see why Bloomberg -- or the idea of Bloomberg--is so appealing to both presumptive nominees. McCain and Obama both believe that the brand of politics Bloomberg has come to represent--intelligent, technocratic, results-oriented, bipartisan, or, variously, post-partisan--is their own," Wasserstein writes. "Politically, Bloomberg represents Obama and McCain as they see themselves. He would be, in short, the ultimate vanity veep -- and part of that vanity would come in ignoring just how bad a choice he would be."
Also making news:
Compromise, at last, on war funding: The House vote is set for Thursday. "President Bush would win $162 billion in long-overdue funding to carry out military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan into next year under a bipartisan agreement sealed on Capitol Hill on Wednesday," the AP's Andrew Taylor reports. "The agreement reached between House Democrats and Republicans and the White House -- if passed into law as expected -- would finally put to rest Bush's long-standing battles with congressional Democrats over war funding."
"The bill, which could be voted on as early as Thursday in the House, would effectively bring to a close the two-year battle between President Bush and Congressional Democrats over war financing by allocating about $163 billion for combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan through early next year without imposing conditions like a withdrawal deadline," Carl Hulse writes in The New York Times.
Karl Rove has tough words for both candidates on the economy: "Barack Obama and John McCain are busy demonstrating that in close elections during tough economic times, candidates for president can be economically illiterate and irresponsibly populist," he writes in his Wall Street Journal column. "Messrs. Obama and McCain both reveal a disturbing animus toward free markets and success."

@publiusr - I've always wondered what the point of a shuttle carrier would be. I could see a large colony transport having a lot of shuttles but a ship dedicated to carrying a lot of shuttles, unless it also has the space to house all of the people the shuttles are ferrying, I don't see the point. Unless the point of the ship is just to ferry shuttles but even that seems more the job of a cargo ship. I haven't completely settled on what the Teller's role will be yet, but I've decided it's definitely going to be a "one of" and something of a spruce goose among starships.
I'm sure that the ample hanger space must have come in handy for carrying fighters or supplies and vehicles for defensive military encampments during the Cardassian War, though.

About the BookThere is a new Animorph. And he's arrived just in time, because the Yeerks are preparing their biggest takeover ever. The ultimate target: the world's most powerful leaders gathered together in one place. What better way to get into the minds of humans? Literally
At first, David joins the fight with a vengeance. But there is definitely something wrong. Because he's starting to break the rules. Taking risks that could get them all captured. Or killed. The Animorphs don't know what to do. Because there was a time when the Yeerks were their greatest enemy. That's about to change...

As he introduced President Obama at the commemoration of Bloody Sunday, the longtime congressman recalled marching in Selma, Ala., at the age of 25.
Over 50 years after the Selma march to Montgomery, African-Americans still face substantial impediments to their full citizenship in the United States.
We might honor Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream and the marchers in Selma by making voting in federal elections an obligation of citizenship.
"The idea of a just America and a fair America, an inclusive America, and a generous America—that idea ultimately triumphed," President Obama said in Selma, Ala., on Saturday, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the march for equal voting rights for minorities.
Lewis was one of hundreds of peaceful voting-rights activists who were beaten 50 years ago on Bloody Sunday as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. led them on a march from Selma to Montgomery, Ala. He recalls the event on "Democracy Now!"

Somewhere in America tonight, another poor person who the police deem a threat will be killed. Tomorrow another, and then another. These deaths are not an outrage against this system. They are normal for this system.

When he announced his leave-taking last week, Attorney General Eric Holder spoke of Robert F. Kennedy as his inspiration for believing that the Justice Department "can and must always be a force for that which is right."
Assessments of Attorney General Eric Holder's legacy have been mixed. The NAACP Legal Defense Fund hailed him for his role in transforming the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department and his leadership on voting rights. Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union criticized Holder's record on national security issues.
He's spent almost six years guiding the Justice Department through some tricky terrain—think Benghazi, Ferguson and DOMA—and Thursday, Eric Holder made it known he is preparing to exit his position as U.S. attorney general.
The events of this summer in Ferguson, Mo., highlighted an ugly truth to mainstream Americans: Black men in this country are viewed as so suspicious by law enforcement that they are often shot first and questioned later.
"A single, uncorroborated source of information—including a Facebook or Twitter post"—is enough to put innocent foreigners and Americans on a watchlist of "known" and "suspected" terrorists shared with foreign and domestic agencies as well as private contractors, ACLU legislative counsel Arjun Sethi writes at The Guardian on Saturday.

text: Ive decided to part with my mustang. It is an 02 Laser Red GT with the SOHC 4.6. She has just under 45K on the clock and has been my daily driver now for a few months. Shes got a 70mm acufab t/b and plenum, off road x-pipe and currently has one chamber flow masters on it and i also have the MAC cat back as well. And finally she has a V-1 vortech S-trim supercharger with the Anderson Powerpipe. The car makes 10-11 psi. its tuned pretty mildly as the blower was installed a bit before i made my move from PA to TN. She got 25mpg on the highway with the AC kickin. The only reason ive decided to part with her is i kinda wanna get back into a fox body or something different and i dont wanna drive her every day anymore. She is spotless underneath and the paint is a 7.5-8 out of 10, interior is 9 out of 10. Im interested in trades, so let me know what you got. willing to trade down but will want cash with the deal. i have pics if you are interested. thanks for looking and i can send pics, dont know how to add em on here lol

Today's spew in the MoS by the Lizard is vile. I can only assume that Mrs. Jones has got a decent cash legacy to leave to her panting brood, otherwise why the revolting and impatient urge for her demise? Her comments that her mum has been kept unnaturally going by various surgical procedures (and these have probably hindered the rapacious wait over the years) were truly awful. This time last year my mum, then aged 86, had a breast removed due to cancer. A year later, though not as spritely but still going strong, we still have her with us and are forever grateful that the NHS saw fit to offer the treatment rather than bin her off as being too old to benefit. The last thing I want for my mum, and my dad who is 93, is to die, even though I will benefit financially. Yes, they probably will go before too long, due to their good ages, but when it happens I will blub like a 12 year old, as I did when I initially found out about my mum's illness. I'm the same age as LJ, the heartless cow.

Kampala — THE number of patients admitted in Hoima district with suspected meningitis has increased to 34 since the outbreak was first reported last week.
Paul Kaggwa, the assistant commissioner for health education and promotion in the Ministry of Health, on Monday said 27 cases were first reported last Monday in Kigorobya sub-county.
Kaggwa added that three cases had been confirmed to be meningitis, while nine deaths had been reported.
He added that 42 people were admitted with meningitis in Arua district.
Kaggwa said two cases were confirmed to be meningitis, while nine deaths had occurred. He, however, added that the ministry could not confirm whether or not the deaths were due to meningitis.
Last week, the health ministry identified the Hoima outbreak to be the meningococcal meningitis which is caused by a bacteria and is transmitted from person-to-person through contact with throat secretions.
Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges, which is the lining surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
The ministry said overcrowding, keeping in close contact with patients, living in congested and poorly ventilated premises aids the spread of the disease.
Kaggwa said the Ministry of Health had embarked on a mobilisation drive to sensitise the communities in the two districts to avoid congestion within their homes.
"We are on an active surveillance and the situation is being observed seriously," Kaggwa said.
Meningitis last broke out in Hoima in February 2008. During the last outbreak, six people died and many people were admitted in hospitals.

Customer comments about Walker 72x36 Dining Table:
Overall a wonderful table with great craftsmanship and with top grade walnut and steel. Design is functional, clean and has beautiful lines. The table is modern without being dated. The price is very reasonable for the quality you get. A definite plus is that it is made in Wisconsin by a great small company (Sielaff) for R&B (Room & Board) as well.
One thing to note is that the table comes in a matt finish (with what looks like minimal protective coating?) and will scratch over time. These marks and scratches were particular visible on the floor model in the R&B showroom with normal showing use. See similar issues and concerns on the R&B website regarding the Ventura table, another table we were considering buying. I thought about this carefully before purchasing this table. My Walker table arrived in the same finish that I had seen on the scratched floor model.
In order to avoid this problem, I finished the wood with 7 coats of polyurethane with a sponge brush (NOT a bristle paintbrush). I sanded every other coat with 600 grit paper after a light spray with a fine mist of soapy water. The first 6 coats could be done in 2-3 days. Finally after waiting 2 weeks for the last coast to set, I finished the table with 800, 1000, and then 2000 grit sand paper. After many months, the table still looks pristine with nary a scratch after daily hard use by adults and young children. R&B and others may say this may not be necessary and perhaps this may void the warranty(?) but one might consider doing some type of tabletop work necessary to keep this great table looking great month after month. I don't think I will ever need to warranty this table b/c it's built in otherwise robust fashion.
Use coasters when using hot or wet plates (as one would with any wood table) as this is part and parcel with normal reasonable care.
Overall a beautiful table, with a great design, very high quality materials, and excellent craftsmanship.

Customer comments about Walker 72x36 Dining Table:
This is the first time I have ordered a custom made product from the internet without seeing it first. We specified the stainless steel finish for the table and were both excited and nervous all at once, mostly because a stainless steel finish is not something we've owned before.
The finish appears to be very high quality, and the workmanship overall seems above average. This is our first day with the table so I cannot say how it will hold up over time, but I suspect it will be okay. It will be used daily in the kitchen/dining area of our townhouse.
Our taste is contemporary/modern and this table fits our style perfectly. We're very happy with it.
There is nothing about the product that concerns me.
Service and delivery comments:
The table arrived in good condition, and the delivery team were polite, professional, and careful with the item and with my home. So no complaints about this aspect of delivery.
My only negative comment was the amount of time I had to wait for this table to be delivered...just over 2 months from the initial date of order. This was later than originally promised.

Fresh on the heels of a piece by The New York Times' ombudsman calling for the removal of the Times' Jerusalem bureau chief Ethan Bronner from his current post, the author and journalist spoke to a small group of American Jewish University supporters at a private home in Beverly Hills on Feb. 9.
Bronner's son recently joined the Israel Defense Forces, and some critics on the blogosphere questioned Bronner's continued objectivity toward the region. At the event, Bronner, who is Jewish and whose wife is Israeli, briefly addressed the controversy, telling the group his editors are confident in his coverage and that he expects to remain in Israel, where he has been since 2008, his third stint there. Bronner went on to explain the many complexities of reporting on the region.
"In this world of black and white, I traffic in grey," he said. "I cover one place with two completely contradictory narratives." Sites like the Temple Mount, for example, have two names, depending upon which group you're talking to, so the simple use of a name can be seen as prejudicial. And what some call a "'fence,' which is neighborly, and others call a 'wall,' which is aggressive," he said, "The New York Times calls a 'barrier,' because we think it doesn't sound like anything at all."
Of the peace process, Bronner said, "Right now the situation is quite stuck. Both sides feel so burned, and both sides feel that time is on its side."
He said a complicating factor in coverage is that Israel is open about its politics, while the message is highly controlled by its opponents.
"On the Palestinian side, there is no robust debate and no data, so my ability to report on that is limited," he said.
Asked whether he believes the peace process can succeed, he said, "I don't, particularly, but there's no other thing that you can work toward."
