Hemlock Ring info
I did mine in Cascade EcoWool - Latte color and it only took two skeins (956 yards). I used US size 9 needles - but the pattern calls for US size 10. At $15.00 a skein it was VERY AFFORDABLE. If you want to make a bigger blanket - just buy an extra skein and expand the chart.
I started the blanket in September & finished it mid-November, so it took about 6 weeks of evening knitting for me. I know some people have finished it in a weekend or two. I work full time and only get to knit about an hour or two in the evenings. I also have a couple of projects on the needles (not many though). So it is a quick knit - but gets a little boring at the end.
It measures about 4.5 feet across. It is just right for a nice lap blanket.
I like the detail of the Feather & Fan.

We have officially moved into our new building and are OPEN FOR BUSINESS. Our new location is at 3012 Holland Rd, Virginia Beach. This is between the SPCA and Hitt Electric, just south of the intersection of Dam Neck and Holland. It is a short 2 miles from our old location so we hope you will visit us and allow us to continue being the Premier Auto Repair Facility in Virginia Beach.
Japanese Auto Masters was founded in 1982 by Tom and Cindi Potter in a small shop close to the Virginia Beach oceanfront. Tom originated Japanese Auto Masters to address the needs of consumers driving Japanese-made vehicles at a time when there were no independent repair service centers that specialized exclusively in all Japanese makes and models.

The Metropolitan Opera recently announced it would cancel a planned worldwide cinema broadcast of John Adams' haunting opera, The Death of Klinghoffer. Indeed the whole opera has been criticized -- including by Lisa and Ilsa Klinghoffer, the daughters of Leon and Marilyn Klinghoffer -- as humanizing and even justifying acts of terrorism.
Warning: before you take in the final performance of Vancouver Opera's La Boheme, some Prozac may be required. It helped me drift back to my own bohemian existence, many moons ago, when I lived in a Parisian garret in St Germain des pres. I had almost no possessions, no telephone -- I also busked on weekends in le Marais, singing gypsy songs and Leonard Cohen ballads.
Jeffrey Remedios is the co-founder and president of Arts & Crafts, a record label and production company. He did offer some advice to those looking to start their own label: "Have Broken Social Scene be the first band you sign." For the first three years of the label, they were able to work with Broken Social Scene, their friends and band members' side projects.
Jorn Weisbrodt, the new artistic director for Luminato, which runs from June 8 until June 17, sat down with me for lunch. As a new Torontonian, Jorn had almost as many questions for me as I did for him, but somehow, I left wondering more and more about this great city we live in, and what will happen when Luminato opens its doors this month...

Gears of War: Judgment dated and detailed, Gears 3 drops to $30
People Can Fly, the studio behind Painkiller and the ridiculously fun Bulletstorm, is getting their turn at the Gears of War franchise next year with the Epic Games co-developed Gears of War: Judgment. Microsoft has announced that the prequel, set shortly after Emergence Day but before the original Gears, will launch on March 19. In addition to new enemies, locations, and weapons, Judgement will include a new class-based, Horde and Beast hybrid multiplayer mode called OverRun.
Gears of War 3 gets Forces of Nature DLC map pack
It's time to grab some galoshes and a raincoat because Gears of War 3's Forces of Nature DLC has hit Live Marketplace. The new pack includes five multiplayer maps: Aftermath, Artillery, Cover, Jacinto, and Raven Down. As the name indicates, each level has a weather theme, with Aftermath featuring a flooding city, tornado-force winds in Artillery, heavy fog in Cover, torrential rains and Imulsion contamination in Jacinto, and snow storms in Raven's Down.
Gears of War 3 – Fenix Rising DLC launches on Live
Gears of War 3's third DLC pack, Fenix Rising, is now available on Live Marketplace. The follow-up to RAAM's Shadow includes five new Fenix-themed multiplayer maps, four character skins (Recruit Clayton, Thrashball Cole – Limited Edition, Savage Marauder, and Savage Kantus – Limited Edition), and a new experience system that allows for high-ranking players to "Re-up." Re-upping allows players who reach level 100 to have their rank and experience reset in exchange for new wing and rank number colors, as well as an exclusive weapon skin. Players can re-up three times, though no other forms of progression, such as the TrueSkill rating, will be reset.
Gears of War 3 – RAAM's Shadow DLC now on Live
Gears of War 3's latest campaign DLC, RAAM's Shadow, is now available on Live Marketplace for 1200 MS Points. The campaign, estimated to be around three hours long, will feature missions for both the Gears and Locusts. While the new Zeta Squad attempts to evacuate the city of Ilima in the face of a Kryll storm shortly after Emergence Day, RAAM turns his attention to a holdout human stronghold.
Gears of War 3 gets free DLC courtesy of new Mission: Impossible
To help promote Paramount Pictures' upcoming Brad Bird-directed spy thriller Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, Gears of War 3 players will be able to snag a download of the Versus Booster Map Pack for free on Thanksgiving. The DLC includes two new maps (Bullet Marsh and Clocktower) as well as three more from the Horde Command Pack (Azura, Rustlung, and Blood Drive). But there's more! A free weapon skin pack is also on offer to players from around the globe … but there's a catch.
Gears of War 3 to get free DLC, Horde Command Pack launches
To celebrate the launch of Gears of War 3's Horde Command Pack, Epic Games and Microsoft have announced a free Versus Booster Map Pack set to hit Live Marketplace on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 24).

Gears of War 3 – RAAM's Shadow DLC dated, detailed
Gears of War 3 will be receiving a new campaign DLC release just in time for the holidays, RAAM's Shadow. The new pack will launch on December 13 (1200 MS Points) and feature a three-hour-plus campaign set before the first Gears of War, with a cast featuring some new characters as well as some old faces. As a member of Zeta Squad, players will be tasked with providing protection for the evacuees of Ilima City as they set off during a Locust Kryll storm. And for a shift in perspective, RAAM himself will be playable at one point.

What an irony, that a war advanced by many as an alternative to forging a peace in Jerusalem—indeed who saw it as a clean break from such negotiations—has had the opposite effect.
And how revealing, that in seizing on the Golan provision of the report as one of its greatest challenges, Tim Russert and Andrea Mitchell just now on MS-NBC both described the return of these high, watered lands as something "we" were being asked to do: Americans, American politicians. As though we might snap our fingers and this ally in the Middle East would respond. The Baker report was also forthright on this point. "No American Administration—Democrat or Republican—will ever abandon Israel."

Ralph, many thanks for the introduction and warm comments. It's always special to be back home in Fort Worth. One of the best decisions Dotty and I have made over the past 50 years was to move to Fort Worth in 1966.
If we hadn't moved to Fort Worth, our lives would definitely have been deprived....
For example, how would we know that the only thing separating the State of Oklahoma from great football is the Red River … or that West Texas passes through Fort Worth on those extraordinarily windy Texas days … and we would have missed the excitement of a KC-135 screaming over our house at 3 am whenever Carswell unexpectedly decided to have an alert.
Fort Worth has indeed been a wonderful place to live for Dotty and me and for our family, and General Dynamics/Lockheed was certainly a satisfying and challenging place to work during a very important part of my professional life.
It's a particular pleasure and honor for me to be here to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Air Force Electronic Warfare and Evaluation Simulator. However, while this is a significant milestone, I must admit as time goes on, I'm becoming more impressed by 75th or even 100th anniversaries.
Over the past 50 years, AFEWES has played a critical role in testing and evaluating our nation's electronic warfare systems and techniques. It was a mainstay of our national military deterrence throughout the Cold War and invaluable in conflicts ranging from the Cuban missile crisis to Vietnam, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Iraq … and, more recently, this facility has played a vital role in the design, testing and continued verification of performance of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
During the past eight years, while the warfare that our nation has been actively engaged in is not electronic warfare-intensive, AFEWES has provided confidence to our planners and pilots, especially against the threat of hand-held surface-to-air missiles. AFEWES is still vitally important to evaluate threat systems -- especially as we hedge against an always uncertain future.
Although the future is uncertain, one thing is constant … Tomorrow morning here in Fort Worth, Texas and in Washington, DC, and in every city, town, county and state across this great nation, a profound and memorable thing will happen. Every American will wake up free. This freedom is not by accident, not by chance and it is not some inalienable right.
Rather, it's because for over 230 years brave Americans have stepped forward to protect and defend the freedoms and ideals of this great country.
Every day as I engage with our military personnel I marvel that the people who have worn, and still wear, the uniform of our nation put their lives in jeopardy, sometimes even giving their lives for our freedom.
Whenever the nation has called, the men and women of our Armed Forces have been there to answer. And, their stories of profound heroism are accompanied by accounts of total dedication by workers at home.
During WWII, when President Roosevelt called on the nation to mobilize to produce 50,000 airplanes a year – a figure that everyone thought to be impossible – industry and workers did just that. In fact, by March of 1944, the U.S. was producing over 100,000 airplanes a year.
That's an airplane rolling off the assembly line about every five minutes, day and night, seven days a week! … And, many of those airplanes were built right here, in Fort Worth, Texas – a legacy we're all proud of.
During my career, I've had the good fortune to work alongside many of the heroes of industry … and, what I've seen – having served on both sides of the defense-industry partnership – is a genuine, shared commitment to America's strength and prosperity. Whether it's a machinist at home in the factory or a machinist's mate at sea, both are in the business of national security. Industry's work is vitally important.
The cooperative AFEWES partnership that we celebrate here tonight is a wonderful example. The F-16 and now the F-35 are also symbolic of where we are in DoD – and, that is joint.
These programs have set the standard for close cooperation between Government, our partners in industry and international governments and their industries. Importantly, these partnerships have strengthened interdependence with our friends and allies around the world.
And it's also because people like you have provided the technology, the commitment and the hard work every day to keep our country free.
At his Inaugural address, President Kennedy said, "In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in the hour of maximum danger."
Unquestionably, WWII was won by the Greatest Generation. But history is written after events occur, and I know that future generations will look back on this time with the same awe and respect.
President Kennedy's words ring true today for this generation of brave Americans protecting our freedom and liberty. They, too, have recognized this responsibility, and they've bravely responded to the call of this generation. Through their actions, they've shown that uncommon valor is today still a common virtue.
The men and women who wear the cloth of our nation rely on the products you make and test, as they fight to keep our country safe in our shared pursuit of freedom. We owe your managers, administrators, engineers, machinists, builders, suppliers and all who contribute the thanks of a grateful nation.
President Ronald Reagan said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We don't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." It's an obligation we all share.
I thank you, again, for the support and friendship you have shown to me and Dotty over the past eight years. We're looking forward to coming home.
God bless each of you and your families all those standing the watch tonight and God bless America.

Rutherford County rolls out its two new ambulances
Peering inside the new Rutherford County EMS ambulance Monday afternoon, County Manager Carl Classen seemed pleased. He, along with County Commissioner Julius Owens and Rutherford County EMS Director Richard Pettus, were among those viewing the ambulances when they were unveiled to the public.
The new ambulances might not be easily recognized as being county owned, since they are not orange and white. They are blue and white to coincide with new EMS patches designed about three years ago.
On the outside of the ambulance and above "Rutherford County" is an insignia that will begin appearing on all the county's vehicles.
The design is already being used by the Tourism Development Authority as a reflection of the mountains and foothills of Rutherford County.
"It's sort of a branding," said Pettus. He explained as the insignia becomes more prevalent on vehicles, people will begin recognizing the vehicle or resource from Rutherford County.
The ambulances will not be on the road for a while as they are becoming equipped and fully stocked for emergency use.
Materials and equipment will be transferred from the county's other ambulances as the new ambulances replace older ones on the road, Pettus explained.
The ambulances are a part of the county's vehicle replacement policy. "Fully equipped they are are valued at about $200,000 each," Pettus said. "Empty they are about $137,000."
Pettus said the ambulances were manufactured in West Jefferson which keeps the purchase in North Carolina and that's a positive for the state.
County employees, other EMS employees and the public had an opportunity to view the new ambulances during the roll out reception.

Great Belt, Fits Comfortably, Easy to Adjust
I use this to hold my race gels and race numbers when pockets aren't available. One suggestion, put your race gels in upside down and put them in from the top of the belt. Learned the hard way and dropped a gel my first time out and the person following behind me stepped right on it and poof it was not usable.

Average Associate Software Engineers in the United States make around $61K per year. Total cash compensation for Associate Software Engineers runs from $46K to $92K depending on bonuses that can occasionally exceed $10K and profit sharing that can reach almost $7K. The most influential factor affecting pay for this group is the particular firm, though the particular city and experience level have a (lesser) impact as well. Work is enjoyable for Associate Software Engineers, who typically claim high levels of job satisfaction. Medical benefits are awarded to almost all, and a large number earn dental coverage. Men account for the majority of Associate Software Engineers who responded to the questionnaire — 84 percent to be exact. The figures in this rundown are based on the results of PayScale's salary questionnaire.

Associate software engineers may work in developing software either as a product for use by the public or for private use within a business. While they tend to be on the lower or beginner rungs of their particular industry, companies in need of software engineers will often hire them due to the fact that they are more affordable than more senior software engineers. However, working as an associate software engineer is usually a stepping stone to higher positions and fulfilling careers in software engineering.Read More...
Associate software engineers must be trained in reading and using different programming languages such as Java or C++. As lower level engineers, associate software engineers often work under software engineers and are involved in testing new software programs or making relatively small changes to preexisting programs. The initial design and creation of these programs is usually left to the engineers that are higher up on the department hierarchy. They also usually work in an office setting (in a cubicle, conference room, etc.) and are generally part of a team of other associate software engineers. Tools for work are a computer and computer programs, telephone, pen and paper, code editors, and other normal office supplies. They usually work Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Educational requirements for this position are usually a bachelor's degree in software engineering or computer science. One to three years of experience in the field is a common requirement for associate software engineers as well.

For Associate Software Engineers, progressing to a Senior Software Engineer role may result in a significant raise. On average, a Senior Software Engineer can earn $105K annually. Software Engineers or Software Engineers are common next-step roles for Associate Software Engineers moving up in their careers; annual pay for Software Engineers is $13K higher on average, and it's $3K higher for Software Engineers.
Associate Software Engineers flock to Lockheed Martin Corp, Accenture, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPMCC), Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp, and Accenture Technology Solutions, highly regarded companies that employ a generous number of people in this profession. Employees of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPMCC) can expect to make the most, with the company offering a median salary of $108K; however, pay is widely dispersed from bottom to top, ranging from $74K to $134K. Associate Software Engineers can also look forward to large paychecks at CA Technologies ($70K), Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp ($63K), and Medtronic, Inc. ($62K).
Also approaching the lower end are Accenture at $47K, Lockheed Martin Corp at $61K, and Medtronic, Inc. at $62K.
Survey takers working as Associate Software Engineers report using a large range of professional skills. Most notably, facility with Spring, Python, and Java/J2EE are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 46 percent, 8 percent, and 7 percent, respectively. Skills that pay less than market rate include VB.Net, ASP.NET, and SQL. .NET and C# are correlating skills — those who know the former usually know the latter.

The average worker who claims fewer than five years of experience earns around $61K. In contrast, however, individuals who report five to 10 years in this occupation see a much larger median of $82K. Professionals who claim 10 to 20 years of experience can secure some pretty cushy paychecks; the median for this group is a six-figure $103K. Survey respondents who have worked for more than 20 years actually report somewhat lower incomes of $94K.
With a pay rate for Associate Software Engineers that is 77 percent greater than the national average, New York offers a comfortable salary for those in this profession. Associate Software Engineers will also find cushy salaries in San Francisco (+14 percent) and Boston (+6 percent). The lowest-paying market is Atlanta, which sits 14 percent below the national average. A couple other locations with smaller-than-average paychecks include St. Louis (14 percent lower) and Austin (12 percent lower).

text: What latency are you aiming for? You can get down to 20 - 30 mS with DirectShow or DirectSound. In both cases the minimum latency is gated by the system mixer (KMixer if I recall) which has a 20 - 30 mS buffer. The Audio input devices in Direct Show have a typical latency of 500 MS, but you can change this by setting the preferred buffer size IAMBufferNegotiation interface before connecting the filter up. You can get the latency of the input device quite low, but you are still faced with the 20 - 30 mS KMixer delay. If you want to get down to say 2 mS then you will probably need to use the kernel streaming drivers (WDM Streaming System devices / WDM Streaming capture devices). These will work quite nicely with latencies as low as 2 mS. Though as you say there are questions about if this is the long term model that MS will use (though they WILL be supported for quite some time, I would expect). HOWEVER. This is black art area. The documentation is sparse even by Direct Show standards and most of it is in the DDK area (which is obscure even by MS standards!). Some factors here are. 1. You will need to mess with thread or process priority to prevent system operations from blocking the audio (causing breakup). 2. You will have to take exclusive control over the device. You cannot mix streams from other processes (like an standard audio player). 3. You will see a great deal of device dependency. My tests were with a midiman delta 1010 and the latency related properties seemed unsupported instead you controlled latency through the control panel. Iain -----Original Message----- From: music-dsp-bounces at ceait.calarts.edu [mailto:music-dsp-bounces at ceait.calarts.edu] On Behalf Of James Chandler Jr Sent: 19 March 2005 17:06 To: music-dsp Subject: [music-dsp] WDM for low(er) latency? We have been using MME for a long time, which isn't low latency, but is simple, very reliable, and works for 99.9 percent of customers. Have lately been dipping our feet into ASIO, mainly for low latency softsynth playthru. ASIO seems working well. Would like to improve Windows Driver latency as much as possible without making a big science project out of it. Kernel Streaming support is probably too big a learning curve, since ASIO will in most cases deliver equivalent results, except for folks who don't have ASIO soundcards and can't/won't use generic drivers like ASIO4ALL. Anyway, Microsoft has been threatening to deprecate kernel streaming for what, 4 years now? Spent half of yesterday googling third-party references on WDM support, but there isn't as much third-party info as expected, except for game sound. Spent the other half of the day re-reading the latest MS DirectShow and DirectSound documentation. On XP SP2, as best I can tell, the minimum practical latency achievable with MME, on two soundcards I tested, appears to be in the ballpark of 200 mS (44K 16 bit stereo). That figure was measured with a WOMDone callback function to flag returned buffers, and a hi-res 1 millisecond timer thread polling for returned buffer flags. No PostMessage delays that I can see in the test code. Maybe there are some soundcards that give better MME latency than that, but it sure looks (at least on my computers) XP is using a 32768 byte MME sound output buffer, and if its output mixing buffer gets much emptier than 32768 bytes, you get dropouts regardless of how many small buffers you use, and how promptly you refill/resend returned buffers. Perhaps Microsoft adjusted those details in SP2 or DirectX 9? Think I did the same tests a year ago showing the minimum MME latency closer to 100 mS (on the same test computers), but maybe remembering wrong. It would be nice to at least get Windows sound latency below 50 mS for 'most customers with generic soundcards', with extra points if able to dip below 20 mS for folks with decent soundcards. As far as I can tell, other than 'Kernel Streaming', there are two routes to more directly talk to WDM drivers, DirectSound and DirectShow. Are there API's I missed? Both DirectSound and DirectShow seem about equally complex to implement from-scratch. DirectShow MIGHT be less complicated to implement. For playback would only have to write an ASYNC pull-model source filter and wire it to a Render filter. For sound input, probably just wire a Capture filter to a push-model destination filter I already have. DirectSound is a bit off-putting because of the API's game-orientation. At least I already know a bit about DirectShow. Enough to know it can sometimes take too much hacking before DirectShow actually works as expected (GRIN). Which approach is most likely to give low-latency without becoming a long science project? Have tested some Softsynth plugins that use DirectSound in standalone mode, which have pretty good realtime MIDI play-thru latency. So apparently at least DirectSound is capable of doing the task? Haven't heard of sequencers/softsynths using DirectShow for realtime i/o, but that doesn't mean it isn't common.

FRIDAY, Aug. 22, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- People who use reduced-nicotine cigarettes don't smoke more to make up for the lower levels of nicotine, according to a new study.
This means they don't inhale more toxic chemicals than other smokers, the researchers say.
The month-long study included 72 adult smokers, aged 18 to 65, who smoked regular cigarettes with nicotine emission levels of 1.2 milligrams (mg) each for one week. The participants then switched to reduced-nicotine cigarettes for the next three weeks.
In each of those three weeks, the participants smoked cigarettes with decreasing nicotine emission levels -- 0.6 mg, 0.3 mg, and 0.05 mg or less.
At the end of each week, urine and breath samples were collected from the smokers. The number of cigarettes smoked, and the number of puffs taken from cigarettes by the participants did not change during the study. The findings are published Aug. 22 in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.
Also, there were no changes in the levels of carbon monoxide in their breath and no difference in urine levels of 1-hydroxypyrene, a potentially cancer-causing chemical in cigarettes.
"As a result of the 2009 Tobacco Act, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has the mandate to reduce nicotine levels in cigarettes to negligible amounts," said study author David Hammond, associate professor in the School of Public Health and Health Systems at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada.
However, concerns have arisen that smokers will be exposed to greater amounts of toxic chemicals in smoke as they try to extract more nicotine from cigarettes, he explained. "The current study suggests that this may not be the case," he said in a journal news release.
Instead, the findings show "that smokers are unable or unwilling to compensate when there is markedly less nicotine in the cigarette and when the experience of smoking is far less rewarding," said Hammond. "Our study may help regulators anticipate the possible consequences of mandatory nicotine reductions in cigarettes."
Sources of funding for the study included Health Canada and the Canadian Cancer Society. No cigarette makers were involved.

Records Set At The DHRA Indiana Diesel Nationals
Redkey, IN (June 29, 2006)– Exhaust still lingers at O'Reilly Raceway Park as the Diesel Hot Rod Association's (DHRA) Indiana Diesel Nationals comes to an early close due to rain, but not before old records were broken and new ones set. On Saturday, nearly 4,000 attendees witnessed some of the best diesel racers show off everything their diesels can do — on and off the track. As fans entered the park gates, they were surrounded by everything diesel. From the parking lot to the drag strip, diesel heads came together to celebrate the growing sport combined with a little friendly competition.
To get the day going, Eric McBride, DHRA CEO, announced the winner of the first "Do-My-Diesel" raffle. Vendors from across the area collectively contributed $15,000 worth of modifications to be installed onsite during the weekend, sending Shawn Hodges of Townville, Pennsylvania home in an impressive tricked-out 2004.5 Dodge Dually. Spectators also enjoyed watching as Richard Brown took over the Dyno competition with an amazing 826.3 horsepower. Clinton Curtis left passersby in a cloud of smoke as he showed everyone what diesels are made of in the Burnout Competition, taking home the first place prize.
Hodges was not the only diesel lover putting his truck on display for the weekend. The Show N' Shine competition attracted serious stares as people strolled through, admiring the newest technologies and latest trends in the diesel world from extreme lifts to a truck bed that detaches from the cab with the touch of the key fob. It was no shock that the truck entered by Jerry Harding took home the awards for Best Duramax and Best in Show with his 2005 Chevy 2500HD 4×4 featuring a 12″ air lift. The honor of Best Power Stroke goes to Joe Marshall, while Scott Williams earned Best Cummins, and Mark Buskovitz won Best Work Truck.
While contests were taking place in the vendor midway, 80 participants were lining the dirt track, awaiting their chance to prove themselves and their trucks in the Sled Pull competition. After many admirable attempts, only four won the rights to be called "The Best." Ari Squire took first in the Work Stock Class, with a distance of 272.46 feet, Robert Miller won the Street Diesel Class with a distance of 284.66 feet, Craig Severson won the Super Street Class with an impressive 292.12 feet, and Christopher Watson took home the trophy for the Modified Class, pulling 291.32 feet.
Despite interrupting the Pro Diesel Series, the rain never dampened the spirits of the 103 racers that entered the competition. While the race couldn't be completed, some drove away winners and some drove away as record setters. Karl Mireiter took a first place finish in the Quick Diesel class while Phillip Palmer of Stuckey Racing set a National MPH Record of crossing the finish line at 139.1 mph. Last year's series champion, Darren Morrison also had an impressive race, crossing the line with a new track record of 10.26 in his Pro Street Dodge.
The DHRA hosts a series of National events, with the Texas Diesel Nationals in Houston on October 14-15. For more information about the Indiana and Texas Nationals, DHRA, and all its events, please visit: www.dhraonline.com.

Numerical experiments have been carried out with a two-dimensional sector averaged global climate model with a detailed radiative scheme in order to assess the possible impact of solar and volcanic activities on the Earth's surface temperature at the secular time scale from 1700 to 1992. Our results indicate that while the general trend of the observed temperature variations on the century time scale can be generated in response to both the solar and volcanic forcings, these are clearly not sufficient to explain the observed 20th century warming and more specifically the warming trend which started at the beginning of the 1970s. However, the lack of volcanism during the period 1925–1960 could account, at least partly, for the observed warming trend in this period. Finally, while Schlesinger and Ramankutty (1994) assumed that random forcing could not be a possible source of the 65–70 year oscillation they detected in the global climate system, our results indicate that the volcanic forcing over the past 150 years could have introduced an oscillation of around 70 years in the Earth's surface temperature.

SuSE Distributing Linux Heavy Gear IIMay 23rd, 2000 by Crusader
Loki sent out the following press release regarding a distribution deal with SuSE:
SuSE ANNOUNCEMENT
May 21, 2000
Loki's new Linux game "Heavy Gear II"
Now Available from SuSE
With "Heavy Gear II" Loki Entertainment Software is opening the door tonew dimensions in the Linux world: with 3D audio effects and joysticksupport, a further step has been taken towards the acceptance of Linux bythe home user.
Linux, once just an insider tip for computer professionals, is well onits way to becoming the operating system of choice for home users aswell. After its overwhelming success on the server market and itsincreasing use in companies of all kinds, the ground has been preparedfor the all-round use of Linux, with beginner-friendly installationroutines, intuitive desktops and application software such as officepackets and games.
With the release of the first "big" Linux game, "Civilization: Call ToPower" (awarded the "Best End User Product of 1999″ by Linux Journal),Loki Entertainment has already made a name for itself. Just like itssuccessors, "Heavy Gear II" makes optimal use of the qualities of Linuxin the network, whereby multi-player games based on rounds, or real-time,are possible. Due to its success, it is no surprise that around a dozenmore titles are planned on being ported to Linux for the year 2000.
Loki is currently placing its main emphasis on 3D sound support by meansof OpenAL. "OpenAL represents a milestone for Linux," realizes ScottDraeker, president of Loki Entertainment Software. "Until now, 3D audiofeatures in games were reserved for users of other platforms. This hasall changed now."
OpenAL, entirely in the tradition of the Open Source community, is issuedunder the LPGL license (GNU Library Public License).
Dirk Hohndel, CTO of SuSE Linux AG, is also aware of the chances offeredby this: "Linux games play a significant role in the success of thedesktop market. Through the common efforts of the Linux community, mostrecently with OpenAL and the XFree86 version 4.0, ensuring enhanced 3Dgraphics card support, decisive steps forward have been taken."

I wouldn't go as far as to saying MUST. It didn't happen anyways so it's all heinsight. Being a C's fan I do think this team needs something, such as a D.J Augustin. At this point though I'm not one of those people breaking my ankles jumping off the bandwagon. This team has only been fully healthy for two games all year, I'll hold tight for now.
Tough going for the Celts. While Nate Robinson may be a higher jumping "Microwave" he still doesn't solve their front court health issues. While other teams got a bit better and most are still younger.

tmux and chromedriver
17 Jul 2012, 17:19
Jearvon Dharrie (1 post)
Hi Was wondering if anyone has encountered problems with running cucumber tests from tmux. Specifically with chromedriver. I am getting the "Aw Snap" message when the test launches cucumber. I think this person has had the same problem. http://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=52 Hopefully I am missing a minor detail.
Thanks in advance!
20 Jul 2012, 02:56
Brian P. Hogan (148 posts)
Now that's interesting. I've never used Chromedriver, but I wonder, are you on OSX? If so, perhaps using the reattach-to-user-namespace trick that makes the clipboard work might help you in this situation as well.
I've also noticed that occasionally, my sessions in tmux lose the ability to talk to other programs. For example I use the 'open' command a lot and I've had situations where my tmux session can no longer execute that command. It's only on one of my machines though.

Re: Troll Control.
umm... not correct on any of it.
i haven't taken an english class in 20 years.
i have 2 brothers, neither of which i was at their wedding and not married to a blond.... and i can't dance to save my life
my car is silver and has all it's hubcaps.
i have no black and white photos, i'm a novice drummer at best. i'm actually a guitarist and singer and if i was to turn pro it would be in one of those 2 areas. and i hate having my picture taken by anybody so chances are it isn't out there.
performance art well..... i duno maybe. since music can be classified as a performance art well then thats just obvious really.
my name is andrew not.... aryelle? where's that even from anyway? oh, and i'm a guy not a chick.....
i don't hide any information about myself or try to avoid giving details, i'm just to lazy to type it out for no reason. hell i've given out my phone number at the drop of a hat to a troll just to yell at them in person, but alass they never called. why is it they never call? i feel so unloved.....
i've delt with many people like him and a lot worse, unfortunately i won't hide and i'm the type that would just as soon deal face to face then on a forum. i probably have a better idea of whats going on then most of the people on this board as far as trolls go.
all i'm saying is this is not the right context to be doing this and is just going to fuel it when he does come back and this is no better then what he was doing. you have this concern you shoulda sent an email to bernhard and let him make a public post about what he wants the community to do. and as i feel this is a completely inappropriate way to handle these issues i'm not gonna comment on this thread anymore.
but hey that's just my opinion right?
looking for saturn 3's in trans cherry w/ chrome hardware. got some? wanna sell'em? hit me up...

Jessica Ainscough is Going to DieSaturday, January 28th, 2012
Jessica Ainscough is a model and fashion writer turned "wellness warrior." She's an Australian media personality who, in 2008, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that is slow growing but extremely prone to spreading and which doctors recommended be treated by amputating an arm, where the tumor was located. It's understandable that someone would want to avoid such radical and disfiguring surgery, but for this type of cancer, such extreme measures provide the best long term prognosis. Ainscough elected to have intensive local chemotherapy instead, which eventually did eliminate all detectable cancer. Sadly, it recurred about a year later, as this type of cancer often does. At that point, her doctors advised her that amputation was the best option for treatment.
The story might have ended there and been the sad tale of a young lady who lost an arm to cancer. However, due to her poor choices, the story is much much sadder. Ms. Ainscough decided to decline further treatment. She instead opted for an organic diet, coffee enemas and various detoxification rituals. She believes she is "healing" her cancer and that this is an example of her taking responsibility and doing the right thing.
Ms. Ainscough looks pretty good and, according to her, she feels pretty good. That's actually not too surprising. The cancer has invaded her soft tissues and is growing and spreading, but, at least from the sound of it, it has not become debilitating just yet. The sad thing is Ms. Ainscough seems to be very confident she is getting better because she lacks the most basic understanding of what the condition is and how it needs to be treated. It's certainly true that surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are damaging, but that's because they have to be. Cancer cannot be "healed." It must be killed. Cancerous cells are damaged cells of ones own body, which grow out of control, due to a breakdown in the function of the mechanisms that control cellular growth. Cancer is a problem inherent to animal cell biology, it can happen in anyone, for any number of reasons, but usually with no single attributable cause, and when it does, the only way it can be cured is by destroying the cancerous cells.
Ms. Ainscough's complete lack of even the most basic understanding of how cancer is treated is apparent in some of her statements, such as this one:
Drugs do not cure cancer. They just don't. Every now and then, chemotherapy and radiation treatments may put a patient into "remission", but this is not truly healing. This is certainly not a cure. Why? Because cancer is so much more than the tumour it shows up as. The tumours are merely the symptoms. And when you just target the symptom without dealing with the root cause, the disease is going to keep showing up. You can chase the disease around your body with surgery and radiation, and you can douse it with toxic chemicals, but this is not an effective long-term solution. This is why you here so often of people whose "cancer came back". They didn't do the work to truly reverse their disease. Cancer is nothing more than your body telling you that something has got to give. It is the result of a breakdown in your body's defenses after it has endured years of abuse in the form of a toxic diet, toxic mind and toxic environment.
No. That's not it at all. The tumors are the problem. The tumors are composed of the cancerous cells that are the root of the problem and the reason it often comes back is that it's so damn hard to get every one of those cells, especially when they start spreading to different areas of the body. While cancer can be the result of carcinogenic chemicals, it can also be caused by heredity or by the random degradation of genetic material that happens as a result of cellular respiration.
Let me be blunt about the sad truth here. Jess Ainscough is going to die. I don't mean in fifty years either. The cancer she has now is going to kill her. It's too late for her to have a good prognosis, and if she continues without treatment, then the already poor odds are going to get worse. She may feel okay for the time being, but she will die. Her only hope is spontaneous remission, which in this kind of cancer is all but unheard of.
I should note that I am not a doctor and I do not have access to Ms. Ainscough's complete medical information. However, what I do know is that she claims to have been diagnosed with epithelioid sarcoma. If this is indeed true (and if it's a lie then she's downright evil), and if she is not receiving treatment by surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, then the cancer can be expected to be fatal. This has been confirmed by experts I have consulted before writing this. As one put it "Not treating epithelioid sarcoma is suicidal."
The thing that really bothers me, however, is that she is working very hard to put out the message that her non-treatment is working and is the best course of action. She's been embraced by the media and this idiocy could easily kill others who buy into it.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), FISH
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia in North America. The most common cytogenetic abnormalities in CLL involve chromosomes 6, 11, 12, 13, and 17. These are detected and quantified using the CLL FISH panel. Use of CpG-oligonucleotide mitogen will identify an abnormal CLL karyotype in at least 80% of cases (CPG / Chromosome Analysis, CpG Mitogen Study for B-Cell Disorder). Unstimulated conventional chromosome studies are usually not successful for CLL (BM / Chromosome Analysis, Hematologic Disorders, Bone Marrow and HBL / Chromosome Analysis, Hematologic Disorders, Blood).
This FISH test detects an abnormal clone in approximately 70% of patients with indolent disease and >80% of patients who require treatment. At least 5% of patients referred for CLL FISH testing have translocations involving the IgH locus; approximately 66% of these patients have translocations that result in fusion of IGH/CCND1, IGH/BCL2, or IGH/BCL3. Fusion of IGH and CCND1 is associated with t(11;14)(q13;q32), IGH and BCL2 with t(14;18)(q32;q21), and IGH and BCL3 with t(14;19)(q32;q13.3). Patients with t(11;14)(q13;q32) usually have the leukemic phase of mantle cell lymphoma. Patients with t(14;18)(q32;q21) or t(14;19)(q32;q13.3) may have an atypical form of B-CLL or the leukemic phase of a lymphoma.
The prognostic associations for chromosome abnormalities detected by this FISH assay are, from best to worst: 13q-, normal, +12, 6q-, 11q-, and 17p-.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detecting a neoplastic clone associated with the common chromosome abnormalities seen in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
Identifying and tracking known chromosome abnormalities in patients with CLL and tracking response to therapy
Distinguishing patients with 11;14 translocations who have leukemic phase of mantle cell lymphoma from patients who have CLL
Detecting patients with atypical CLL or other forms of lymphoma associated with translocations between IGH and BCL2, BCL3, MYC, or other partner genes
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A neoplastic clone is detected when the percent of cells with an abnormality exceeds the normal reference range for any given probe set.
The absence of an abnormal clone does not rule out the presence of a neoplastic disorder.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is not approved by the FDA and it is best used as an adjunct to existing clinical and pathologic information.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature
