Windows 7 Professional x64
BIOS Settings: S1 or S3 for Hybrid Sleep?
When I install Windows 7, I'd like to use the Hybrid Sleep mode if I can.
Which is the better syspend mode in BIOS Settings: ACPI S1 (Power on Suspend) or ACPI S3 (Suspend to RAM)?
|My System Specs
|20 Oct 2009
S0 (Working) is lit. The CPU functions in entirety; the conservation of power is on a basis of by-device.
S1 (Sleep). The CPU is stopped; The RAM is regenerated; the system functions in reduced power.
S2 (Sleep 2) The CPU does not have any power; The RAM is regenerated; the system is in lower mode of the S1.
S3 (Standby) The CPU does not have any power; The RAM regenerates at minimum; the power supply unit is in mode of reduced power. This mode is also called "Save to RAM".
S4 (Hibernate). All is powered off, but the memory was saved like temporary file on the hard drive. This mode is called "Save to disk".
S5 (Off) Everything is shutdown. Means you need a full reboot.
S3 is the best. It uses less power and reboots faster.
Vista and Win 7 have hybrid sleep.
So what is Hybrid Sleep?
Hybrid Sleep is a low-power sleep state that can also protect your open programs and documents in current working state as sysem enter Sleep state while your computer sleeps. Hybrid sleep is defined mostly for desktop system as notebook PC already has safeguard measure mentioned above, which brings system into hibernation when battery power almost runs out, or if you're not using battery on your notebook computer.
In Hybrid Sleep mode, system saves any open documents and programs to memory and to your hard disk, and then puts your computer into a low-power state as in normal Sleep/Standby state. An advantage of hybrid sleep is that if a power failure occurs, Windows can restore your work from your hard disk. If a power failure such as power outage occurs when your work is saved only to memory (as in Sleep mode), all work is lost. In Hyrid Sleep mode, if the computer suddenly loses power, users can still recover to last working state as when computer enters hybrid sleep mode because all data in memory is saved in hiberfil.sys hibernation file. In this case, the computer is acted exactly same with hibernation mode to resume computer activity, and yet still enjoy the benefit of fast return to full operation of Sleep mode.
However, Hybrid Sleep mode takes longer or slower than basic Sleep mode due to the fact that it will need to save memory state into hibernation file as it was going into hibernate before actually going into sleep. You won't see Hybrid Sleep button in Vista though. Once you enable Hybrid Sleep mode, whenever system enter Sleep mode, i.e. click on Sleep in Power option, Vista will always put the computer into Hybrid Sleep mode. If the Hybrid Sleep support is disabled or turned off, Sleep button will continue to be normal Sleep button.

LONDON (AlertNet) - Knowledge is now plentiful on how to adapt to climate change and build resilience to its impacts, but putting that expertise into practice remains a problem around the world, climate and security experts say.
"We're at a point where we've run through the theory and have to start doing practical stuff," said Nick Mabey, the chief executive of E3G (Third Generation Environmentalism), an international non-profit organisation that works on accelerating transitions to sustainable development.
Applying knowledge in real contexts will require everything from finding ways to work with corrupt or exploitative governments, to using game theory to help bureaucrats get hands-on experience in making effective decisions, Mabey and other experts said at a London roundtable meeting on climate security issues.
Measures like moving responsibility for climate adaptation from environment ministries to more powerful finance or economy ministries will also be helpful, they said, as will financial and other incentives for politicians and officials to take action.
Innovations will "have to happen for there to be change on the ground", said Lindsey Jones, a researcher who works on climate change adaptation for the London-based Overseas Development Institute.
One problem facing governments and other institutions trying to incorporate climate adaptation into their planning is that decisions often need to be made quickly, across departments, and in ways that go against traditional planning.
After Pakistan's record-breaking 2010 floods destroyed roads, schools and other infrastructure, for instance, officials came under pressure to rebuild facilities fast. As a result, many were reconstructed to existing standards – not to a level that would make them more resilient in the face of worsening floods, droughts and other climate impacts, Mabey said.
"The urgency of now meant they rebuilt as things had been. That's going to happen again and again in a lot of places," he warned.
Getting governments prepared to deal with new conditions will mean persuading them that changing their way of working can make a difference, and providing benefits for doing so.
For example, to encourage different departments to work together, projects proposed jointly by several departments could be given first access to funds, Mabey said.
And using interactive games – as many militaries do already to explore the potential outcomes of different strategies – might help bureaucrats gain experience in making good real-time decisions, he said.
Building resilience to climate change may also require working with what Jan Selby, an international relations expert at Britain's University of Sussex, termed "rapacious state actors" - the corrupt, undemocratic or otherwise problematic strongmen who govern some of the most climate-vulnerable parts of the world.
Doing that will be difficult and fraught with risks, the experts predicted. But "sometimes you have to work with some pretty scuzzy folks to get things done," admitted Dan Smith, the head of International Alert, a London-based peacebuilding group, and one of the organisers of the roundtable.
Mabey urged international organisations trying to effect change to start by targeting countries and regions that are in the headlines – such as Pakistan, Yemen or North Africa – in an effort to achieve visible successes.
Choosing countries that have "some leadership and capacity" is also important, he said.
The aim then should be to concentrate resources on building a model that can be emulated elsewhere, he said.
"The main way the world changes is (by) copying," he said. "The hard thing is creating the first thing you copy."

Two local armature anglers brought home a big prize in a national bass fishing tournament this month.
The Heartland Anglers tournament series' final tournament of the year was held on Oct. 13 with over 270 boats competing. Rodney Campbell of Yerkes and Denton Asher of Wooton were able to claim the first place spot by a good margin at the Heartland Classic in Tennessee's Chickamauga Lake. This win earned them a fully rigged 2012 Margay Bass Cat Boat valued at over $27,000.
This is the second year that Campbell and Asher have competed in the Heartland Anglers series. Heartland Anglers was created to offer major tournaments and winnings to the average working man angler, Asher noted.
Both Asher and Campbell work for Arch Coal and fish when they get the chance. While they have fished together for years and have won competitions before, this was by far the largest.
"I have been in fishing tournaments for about 20 years and would win a few here and a few there, but nothing ever like this," said Campbell. "I have never fished for a boat."
Both said the Heartland Angers tournaments have grown in the two years that they have competed. Last year first place was around $1,000, whereas the 10th place prize was over $1,000 this year.
"We have seen an increase," said Asher. "Last year I think there were 225, boats and this year there were 275 boats."
Heartland Anglers uses 100 percent of the entry fees to go back to the competitors in the form of pay outs. Campbell and Asher said that having major competitions like this in which the average fisherman can be involved helps to promote the sport and bring more people to it.
No professionals or anyone who has fished on the professional level are allowed to enter these tournaments. "If you have fished a tournament with a $1,000 entry fee you can't enter it," Campbell explained.
Tournaments are held in six states and about 40 locations. There are over 40 divisions with tournaments on lakes as close as Buckhorn and Carr Creek.
At the two-day tournament, Campbell and Asher were able to turn in 30.45 pounds of fish. This set them handedly above the other competitors with the next closest turning in 28.05 pounds. This was a major change over last year where they placed around 70 out of 225.
"We changed our strategy, we slowed our fishing down," said Asher "That lake is set up for our style of fishing."
Campbell joked that the difference between last year and this year was that they caught fish. "Fishing is a whole lot of luck," said Campbell. "One time you make the right call."
When asked how they thought they could share the boat, Asher replied that they plan to sell their new boat and split the money evenly.

How to Take a Test Effectively
You've studied as much as you can, and the moment has come; the test is in front of you. All of the information in your head is floating around in a ball of knowledge and now you need to apply it.
No matter how much time you've taken to study and prepare, it is important to know how to best utilize the time given to you.
In order to have a better chance at succeeding, here are a few steps to maximize your test taking ability.
An editor has suggested that this article be merged with:
"How to Take a Test"
Per the merge policy, if these topics are determined to be similar but distinct, then the articles will remain separate. Please comment on the discussion page. Notice added on 2012-03-29.
1Size it up. Give the test a quick look over to familiarize yourself with what you're getting into. This allows you to understand the format and style in which you'll be answering the questions in.Ad
2Begin with what you know. In order to have as much time as possible to work on what you will have to focus on, work on getting the questions you already know out of the way and answered. Also, if there is an array of different question styles, begin with the one you are most comfortable with (i.e. starting with short answer over multiple choice, essay over matching).
3Look for 'Free Answers'. When it comes to tests with multiple questions, there are usually questions which will either aid you in figuring out the correct answer or completely answer a question. This is especially useful on foreign language tests, as questions requiring long written responses will often have the spelling of words you need located in other questions already on the test.
4Make connections. When it comes down to questions that you really have to think about, review over what you have already done in order to try to jog your memory. By doing this, you are more likely to make connections that will allow you to choose the right answer.
5Don't get stuck. If you find yourself working on a problem for too long, skip to the next one and work on it. You'll have plenty of time to come back once you've finished your other questions. If you have limited time, allow yourself a certain period of time to work on each question. This will ensure that you don't go over your allotted time.
6Use all the time available. If you find that you've finished the test before you have to turn it in, use the remaining period of time to review over your answers. This extra time is especially beneficial for locating those 'free answers', and allows you to evaluate your own choices.Ad
We could really use your help!
- When it comes down to the wire, there is nothing better than being prepared. Study as often as you can as many times as possible in order to ensure you have given yourself the best possible chance at succeeding.
- Small things can often make a difference such as using your favorite type of pen or pencil. Also, if it is allowed, remember to bring in your favorite drink to ease the test taking experience.
- Don't allow yourself to get stressed.
- Don't feel rushed to turn in the test right away. It is often an impulse to just be done with the test, but take step 6 to heart and you won't regret it.

Union Mills couples sustains burns in Sunday house fire
A Union Mills couple was flown to separate burns centers Sunday night after they sustained injuries when their house caught fire at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday.
Don and Sylvia Kent, reportedly middle age or above, were at their home on Hudlow Road in Union Mills when a fire broke out upstairs.
Sylvia Kent was flown to Mission Hospital in Asheville and transported to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem where she was listed in fair condition Monday. Don Kent was flown directly to Burn Center in Augusta, Ga. by Med Trans from Greenville, S.C. where he is listed in critical condition
"They tried to fight the fire with a garden hose," said Union Mills Fire Chief Dean Conner. "When they realized they couldn't, they started carrying things out . . .they got into trouble."
"Never go back into a burning house," Conner said as he was taking a break after fighting the fire for more than an hour.
"The fire started in the rear of the house, I'm just not sure how at this time," he said. Conner said the couple had burns on their hands and faces.
"We had to stop them from going back in," Conner said.
The couple's dogs were rescued but the two cats perished.
The large two story wood frame house had several eaves and had been divided into other rooms upstairs, making it difficult to know how it started.
Rutherford County Fire Marshal Roger Holilfield said the fire started in the attic, but the cause is still under investigation.
Hazel Radford and other neighbors stood by the scene Sunday as firefighters from at least six departments worked.
"I was coming out of my house there behind Union Mills Post Office," Radford began. "I saw smoke and when I walked around to the front, I saw the flames."
Radford said a young gentleman arrived at about the same time and she told him to call 911.
Another neighbor kept yelling, "get them out of the house. Get them out of the house," Radford said.
According to Radford the couple moved to Union Mills six or seven years ago from New York.
"They are good people. Very quiet. Always staying to themselves, but good people," Radford said.
Neighbor Lynn Bryant agreed.
"We'd see them at church or at community events, but they were always quiet. Good people," Bryant said.
Firefighters from Hudlow, Bill's Creek, Green Hill, Rutherfordton and Shingle Hollow assisted at the scene.
Rutherfordton fireman Brian Harrill said because the house was "cut up" into so many parts, it was difficult to fight the fire.
"It was a big fire," Harrill said, resting with more than a dozen other firefighters in the front yard of the home.

The Herdsman, by Dorothy Clarke Wilson
The Herdsman.
by Dorothy Clarke Wilson.
Philadelphia, Westminster Press, 1946. 373 pp. $3.00.
The very paucity of biographical information in the Book of Amos provides both a challenge and an opportunity for the writer of historical fiction. The challenge: to create, on the basis of a few facts, a character worthy of the lofty prophecies ascribed to Amos; the opportunity: to inform that character with the grandeur and dignity of a great prophet. And Dorothy Clarke Wilson, in rising to the challenge, has taken full advantage of her opportunity.
Her Amos was born in Tekoa, and prophesied in the boom days of Jeroboam II. He was one of the herdsmen and tenders of sycamore trees in that barren region. Brought up in a poor farmer's home, he is enslaved by the greed of his father's creditors, later sold to the tax commissioner, and finally manumitted after a brief but intense love affair with that dignitary's daughter that almost ends in marriage to her, and does end in marriage to her slave-girl, Mara, after a sudden awakening on Amos' part. Because it was chronologically possible, Amos becomes the protector and teacher of the younger Hosea, and while recovering from a beating instigated by the reactionary High Priest, Amaziah, is interviewed for three whole days by the very young Isaiah. While any meeting between either of these later prophets and Amos is highly improbable, it does give a dramatic unity and continuity and even probability to their succession. And for the sake of greater dramatic effect and cohesion, although there is no basis for such an assumption in either fact or legend, Hosea's notoriously faithless wife is made a cousin to Amos. Her earlier years foreshadow the anguish she was to bring to her long-suffering but ever-loving husband, who ultimately makes her the subject of his own prophetic message.
Much of Miss Wilson's biographical invention is intended to concretize the general denunciations in Amos' prophecies and to make them stem from his own or his family's experience: his sister's joining the (Bethel) temple prostitutes in an attempt to augment her starving family's meager income; Hosea's being swindled in the market by a dealer using a fraudulent measuring cup; the nocturnal moving of the boundary stones in the olive grove of Hosea's father, and the bribing of the judges in the subsequent trial are all examples of this. The author also tries, though sometimes too patly, to trace the imagery of some of Amos' poetic prophecies to incidents of his youth and early childhood (much in the manner of Lowes on Coleridge's Kubla Khan) . And so, for example, as a young herdsman who flees from a lion he stumbles onto a bear—and manages to kill it; later he salvages a few sheep bones from the jaws of the lion that preyed on his herd; and on a visit to the prophet's house, Amos' stingy uncle is stung by a little snake as he reclines against the rush mats on the floor. These incidents are brought back in Amos' words (5:19) describing the "day of the Lord," which will be:
As if a man did flee from a lion,
And a bear met him:
And went into the house and leaned his hand
against the wall,
And a serpent hit him.
Whatever the actual facts of Amos' life, the author of this fresh and interesting story has taken the kind of liberty and the kind of license that make for a closely knit, well-motivated story, with real, live characters who are people instead of mere stalking horses. The corruption of Jeroboam's day is painted strikingly, and the evil countenanced and even encouraged by that conquering monarch marches across Miss Wilson's pages like a living, fire-breathing demon.
As long as Miss Wilson deals with people and scenes, or perhaps as long as she relies upon her own creative imagination, she writes well. It is only when she turns to "higher Biblical criticism" for the stuff of Amos' theology, for the essence of his preaching, that she goes astray.
The Jewish reader suddenly finds that (in accordance with the long discredited Wellhausen theory) it was Amos who discovered the idea of One God, and that it was Amos who made him a God of justice. Had Miss Wilson consulted Professor Albright, she would have found that Amos was not the originator of the "most startling statements which had ever been made in Israel: that Yahweh was a just God and that he demanded justice from his people," but that both this idea and the idea of the oneness of God had been part and parcel of Jewish religion since its inception. Nor was Amos revolted by the institution of sacrifice per se, but rather by its having acquired such sanctity in the people's eyes that it overshadowed the concepts of social and religious obligations behind it.
Part of Miss Wilson's misdirection is owed to a book on Amos by Dr. R. E. Wolfe (discussed by this reviewer in the January 1946 COMMENTARY), to which she makes grateful acknowledgment in a brief foreword. She is influenced by that critic's Christological predilections. She similarly identifies Amos as the prophet of justice, and Hosea, being "more advanced," as the prophet of love; and the messages of both are presented as foreshadowings of the ultimate Christian ideal of the salvation of mankind through love. Like Dr. Wolfe, Miss Wilson subjects Amos to martyrdom; but while this invention is unpardonable in the critic and scholar, it can be excused and even commended in the novelist, for it provides a fitting denouement to Amos' tempestuous life.
Our negative criticisms of Miss Wilson's book are made simply to remind the reader that he is reading fiction, and that for a fuller understanding of Amos' importance in Jewish eyes, he had better read the Old Testament accounts and the results of Dr. Albright's scholarship.

Three New York trainers fined for herbal medicine violation
Three trainers were fined $500 and suspended seven days by the New York stewards for giving their horses herbal medications the day they were to race, which necessitated all three being scratched from their respective races. However, none of the trainers will serve any of the days provided they don't commit another medication violation in New York during the remainder of 2010.
Trainers Faustino Ramos, Chris Englehart, and Michelle Sharp were each fined $500 for giving their horses either Air Power or Wind-Aid - classified by the stewards as similar to cough medicine despite containing all natural ingredients - on the day their horses were to race at Belmont. After being observed by New York Racing Association security personnel, the horses were scratched by the stewards. Ramos trained Banking Holiday, who was scratched out of the 10th race on Sept. 12. Englehart trained Smokin Hero, scratched from the fifth race on Sept. 16; Sharp was the trainer of Twiceasbeautiful, scratched out of the eighth race on Sept. 16.
A fourth trainer, Stanley Hough, could face the same penalty after his horse, Adios Charlie, was scratched from the seventh race on Sept. 18 for receiving an herbal medication. His case is still being reviewed.
The specific rule in question is 4043.2 which only allow antibiotics, vitamins, electrolytes and other food supplements - provided they do not exhibit drug-like actions or properties - to be given orally on race-day.
The stewards have previously said that Air Power and Wind-Aid - because they are described as similar to cough medicine - exhibit drug-like properties.

im looking for one iron frame and one silver ore, wheres the best place to find these items?
silver ore is sold by the dwarf merchant, or you can find it in caves. One small note. The Kayran trap ends up costing a few hundred coins, and it saves you one small part on the boss fight. I actually found it to be harder using the trap than just fighting the boss...and the boss is stupid easy once you realize what you have to do....when I did my dark run I skipped the trap.
It's pretty much only useful for the achievement. I also was confused about using it but then saw the little marker on the ground.
its alot of effort for something that is a onetime use.
use the CAT potion to sneak past that one guard and get the iron frame. Also be sure to listen to a certain conversation while you're back there.
For the HARD and DARK difficulty playthrough, this trap helps a bit

Endocrine glands release hormones (chemical messengers) into the bloodstream to be transported to various organs and tissues throughout the body. For instance, the pancreas secretes insulin, which allows the body to regulate levels of sugar in the blood. The thyroid gets instructions from the pituitary to secrete hormones which determine the pace of chemical activity in the body (the more hormone in the bloodstream, the faster the chemical activity; the less hormone, the slower the activity).

Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne Summary
Latest news
Blizzard trademark 'Council of Glades' in New Zealand
Trademark trawlsters have found Blizzard Entertainment has filed for 'Council of Glades' in New Zealand - that bit next to Australia - the bit on the right. It certainly sounds all Druid-like and World of Warcrafty.
Perhaps we'll find out at this year's BlizzCon which is scheduled November 6-7 at the Anaheim Convention Center, the mecca for Blizzardites. The trademark covers everything 'computer video game' imaginable.
Director reveals World of Warcraft film pushed to June 2016
The upcoming film for Blizzard's World of Warcraft has some "good news and bad news" from director Duncan Jones. It will no longer be coming in March 2016, but instead will take an extra 3 months and release in June 2016.
It just wouldn't really be an authentic Blizzard release if there weren't some kind of delay. Obviously this extra time will be spent on the Murloc musical number in the second act. It will change lives.
Could Blizzard be about to re-release Warcraft 3?
Classic Blizzard strategy games including Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne could be on the verge of getting a re-release, if several icons hidden in the latest update to the Battle.net launcher are to be believed.
While no support for the game is listed just yet, a background image and several user icons were discovered by MMO-Champion.
First set image from Warcraft movie released
Hollywood's Empire magazine has a lone image of director Duncan Jones working on the set of the Warcraft movie adaptation. It appears that it could be the set of the Stormwind throne room.
Filming for Warcraft is taking place in Vancouver and it's expected to open in theatres around March 2016. Blizzard delayed the film because of a clash with the new Star Wars: Episode VII.
Source Code director signs on for Legendary Pictures' Warcraft adaptation
Blizzard's Warcraft will be brought to the silver screen by Duncan Jones, who has directed sci-fi films Moon and Source Code. He accepts the challenge of making a "proper MOVIE of a video game."
Charles Leavitt has penned the script for Warcraft, which is being kept very secret. Filming should begin in late 2013 for 2015 release. It's rumoured Johnny Depp might be involved.

A pair of new Public Policy Polls focusing on the U.S. Senate races in Florida and Nevada show centrist candidate Charlie Crist and Senate majority leader Harry Reid leading their respective races. But the polls also show something else: voters, especially independent voters, are starting to view tea party candidates like Marco Rubio and Sharron Angle as too extreme.
In the Florida poll, Democrats and independents seem to be flocking to Crist, who draws 44 percent of the Democratic vote to give him 35 percent to Marco Rubio's 29 percent and 17 percent for Democrat Kendrick Meek. (If Jeff Greene is the nominee, it's Crist 38, Rubio 29, Greene 13…) That's somewhat unsurprising, since a majority of respondents still know nothing about Meek. But the real meat in the poll is Crist's solid 40 percent share of independents and his 23 percent take among Republicans. That indicates that voters in the center and center-right are moving his way. From the pollster:
Crist has increased his support across the board since PPP last polled this race in early March. At that time, while still a Republican, he got just 27% to 34% for Rubio and 25% for Meek. He's now doing 12 points better with Democrats, 5 points better with independents, and somewhat surprisingly even 5 points better with Republicans.
Marco Rubio's personal favorability has taken a large hit in the four months since PPP last polled this race. In March voters were pretty evenly divided on him with 31% seeing him positively and 32% negatively. He's still at 31% with a favorable opinion of him but his negatives have swelled in the interim to 46%. Particularly troubling for Rubio is that a majority of independents now have an unfavorable opinion of him. Like Rand Paul in Kentucky, the better voters have gotten to know Rubio the less they've liked him.
Key point: Rubio is keeping the voters he already has, but he's not growing. In fact, what's growing is opposition to him. And keep in mind that Rubio was once seen as potentially a national Republican candidate, with the potential to draw Hispanic voters and center-right independents and even moderate Democrats, to the GOP. That was the dream. Right Wing Rubio is the reality. And the more Americans get to know Right Wing Rubio — opposed to extending unemployment benefits to middle class Americans suffering through the Bush recession, but eager to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy; willing to deport American children to get at their undocumented parents, and even staunchly pro-drilling, while the oil from the Deepwater Horizon is lapping up onto the shores in Northwest Florida, the less they like him.
Meanwhile, in Nevada, PPP puts the race between Harry Reid and Sharron Angle much closer, but Reid, is far more competitive against Sharron Angle than he was against establishment favorite Sue Lowden, whose worst negative was her preference for chicken bartering. Angle's negatives are much higher, and that's putting Reid back in contention. From the pollster:
Given the gift of an opponent who's even more unpopular than him, Harry Reid leads Sharron Angle 48-46 in the Nevada Senate race. When PPP last looked at the state in January Reid trailed Sue Lowden by ten points.
Reid continues to have upside down approval numbers, but they've improved over the last six months. 44% of voters in the state like the job he's doing while 53% disapprove. That's a good deal better than earlier in the year when his approval was only 36% and 58% gave him bad marks. Since then Democratic voters have really rallied back around Reid and independents have softened in their feelings toward him as well. Reid's approval spread within his party is 80/14, compared to 67/27 over the winter. With independents he's still pretty unpopular at 38/60 but that's much improved from the prior standing of 24/68. Certainly the Republicans nominating Angle is the biggest reason this race is competitive again, but Reid's personal resurgence shouldn't be overlooked either.
Only 36% of voters in the state have a favorable opinion of Angle, while 52% see her negatively. 50% consider her political views to be 'extremist' while 39% label them as 'mainstream.' Earlier this year Reid was bleeding a lot of Democratic support and getting absolutely crushed with independents but voter uneasiness about Angle's ideology has caused big shifts on both of those fronts. Where Lowden had led Reid 62-27 with independents, Angle has only a 51-41 advantage. Where Lowden had held Reid to a 75-17 lead with Democratic voters, Angle's nomination has allowed him to expand that to 85-10.
Think about that for a second. Ms. Angle, a virtual unknown before she won the primary, is already considered an "extremist" by half of the Nevada electorate. Not a good place to be. And as I've said before, "Saturday Night Live" isn't going to be in re-runs forever. When they come back … it's on.
One last thing from PPP. The pollsters also surveyed whether the tea party movement is truly an independent force, or simply a subset of the Republican Party (which previous polls from other pollsters have pretty much confirmed it to be.) The result?
When asked "Do you identify as a member of the Tea Party?," 25% of Americans said yes. However, when the Tea Party was added to our traditional party demographic question; "If you are a Democratic press 1, Republican press 2, Tea Partier press 3…." only 10% of Americans said they were part of the Tea Party. This suggests that a majority of those who consider themselves part of the Tea Party don't consider the Tea Party a independent political party.
Furthermore out of the 25% of Americans who identify as members of the Tea Party 62% also identify as Republicans, 25% as Independents and 12% as Democrats. Almost 47% of Republicans identity as members of the Tea Party. The Tea Party is attracting a large portion of the Republican Party, sugguesting that currently is it just a movement within the Republican Party.
So the question is, given that the tea party movement, and the candidates its helping to select in the primaries (including Rubio, Angle, and Rand Paul) … is the "movement" dragging the GOP so far to the right, independents and moderate Republicans will shun such candidates in the fall, in favor of whatever moderates are available? If so, Charlie Crist is going to have a very happy November, and so will Harry Reid.

In this installment of the Illustrator Insider Training series, Mordy Golding shows how to draw vector artwork quickly, precisely, and efficiently—without having to think about technical concepts like anchor points or control handles. The course highlights intuitive drawing techniques using the Pathfinder functions, Live Paint groups, Shape Builder tool, and variable-width strokes. It also describes the sketching workflow and features in Illustrator that use pressure-sensitive drawing tablets, allowing designers to focus more on their creativity.
Hi there! I am Mordy Golding and welcome to Illustrator Insider Training: Drawing without the Pen tool. Illustrator has plenty of other drawing tools and functions that can help you draw artwork more quickly, more efficiently and more precisely, and that's what this course is all about. I'll begin by showing you how to think about artwork before you start drawing it. This advanced planning will give you a better idea about the tools that you'll use and the approach that you'll take to complete a drawing. Then you'll learn how to draw basic shapes and paths, the basis for just about any artwork.
Next, you'll explore the many ways to assemble artwork, turning basic shapes into more complex ones, using features like Pathfinder and the new Shape Builder tool that was added in Illustrator CS5. You'll also explore a powerful and often misunderstood feature called Live Paint. In addition you'll learn new ways for adding expressions to the paths that you create by modifying strokes with variable weights and thickness. Along the way I'll share tips, insights, and advice and how to get the most out of using Adobe Illustrator, just as I always do in the Illustrator Insider Training series.
So if you're ready to spend more time expressing creative ideas. join me and learn how to draw in Illustrator without using the Pen tool.

Traditionally the province of chemists, the problem of environmental pollution is increasingly being tackled using methodologies which have a biological basis. This 1998 volume provides a range of examples of how biotechnology can offer sensitive and ecologically relevant new ways of monitoring the presence of biohazards in our environment and, once detected, how these biohazards can be removed in an ecologically safe way through bioremediation. Additional chapters on economic, legislative and policy aspects set the topic in its social context, resulting in a broad-ranging volume of value to all those concerned with the science of ecologically effective environmental protection and management.Read more

SD- Mount Rushmore
I will be road-tripping from Colorado to South Dakota to see Mt. Rushmore with visiting relatives; are there any good, regional places to eat we should visit? Colorado is kinda a wasteland, so something ethnic (German? Sweden?) would be awesome!

"I'm having a baseball themed 1st bday for my son and this invitation was just what I was looking for! I loved how easy it was to personalize and the colors of the overall invitation. I could choose my font colors and designs as well. I felt they were very affordable and I've gotten nothing but comments back from my family and friends I sent them to!"
"I used this card for a Thank-you card for my husband's golf theme 60th birthday party. I used a picture of him showing up for the surprise party after completing a golf game. I put 60 on the flag and included his name on the side and wrote a thank-you note across the bottom instead of using it as an invite. The product is once again of high quality and so I was thrilled to send them out. Quite a few of our friends and relatives have commented on the great thank-you card they had received and a few have asked where I got them from, which again I share Tiny Prints information."
"My daughters invitations came out beautifully! Always happy with Tiny Prints, I use them all the time for cards, invitations, and for special occasions."
"I loved the invitation on-line and when I received the product it was even prettier. I couldn't be more happy. Can't wait to be able to mail them out and hear the responses. Thank you."
"This card is even cuter in person than in the pictures. It is definitely one of my favorites, and I have been getting cards here 2-3 times a year for 5 years! :) Thanks to Tiny Prints for being so awesome!!"

Daily Slice: Ben's vs. Ben's
Today's Daily Slice is a two-fer. Aren't you lucky? I just couldn't visit one Ben without also visiting the other. So here we're putting Famous Ben's Pizza of Soho (Spring Street) head to head with Ben's Pizzeria on West 3rd and MacDougal. Over the years I've been blabbing on Slice, I've had people recommend one of them consistently over the other. Until yesterday I couldn't remember which one that was. And you know what? I still don't. But I now know which one I like more. More

I was at that same debut game for Dan Fouts. It was the 1970 game at Multnomah Stadium (now PGE park) but Fouts was not a freshman, he was a sophomore. Freshman could not play back then. Dan did fire a long pass on his first play and it was on target but future NFL player Bob Newland dropped it!
These package prices are no bargain. During the fourth quarter of the civil war I went online and booked airfare, hotel (two nights) and car rental for a total of $550 from Portland (Hertz rental, Sheraton hotel..not fleabags). Packages certainly save time and effort but I suspect that most students could do as well as I did. These tickets should have been sold at face value based on a lottery that was held a few days after the civil war. I also don't buy the argument that it was hard to get hotels in LA...it was pretty easy to book hotels last year after the civil war.
First Canzano created a "Kelly to the NFL" story now Fentress is creating a "James to the NFL" story. The Oregonian is not content with reporting the news but wants to create the news. Of course, James might jump to the NFL but the media should let him concentrate on the BCS game and leave the "to the NFL" stories until James decides. I am sure that there are some interesting stories about other Oregon players and other aspects of Oregon in the BCS game if the Oregonian reporters did a bit more digging instead of speculation.
I was at the USC game and the arena was beautiful and I like the floor but I was not able to see the mid-court line and that was disconcerting. I would think that a player being pressed late in a game would not want to have a look hard to see the mid-court line. If the line is hard for players to see while in the middle of the action then it should be darkened.
I guess this is why they play the games. I agree that on paper the Beavers were the favorites but games are won on the court. It didn't hurt that the Ducks shot better today than they have most of the season. Hope they can win a few more Pac-10 games this year. 183 to 151...a pretty good advantage for the Beavers but it was a lot worse about 15 years ago. The Ducks have been closing the gap until last year and with the good recruiting class coming in the future looks bright. Under Altman the Ducks seem to hustle more, play better defense and play more like a team on offense.
Now that sounds odd: "win the Pac-12 North"....that is the first I have seen that comment. Next year will be a new world with north and south divisions and it looks like the north will be the toughest division. Having divisions will take some getting used to.
This is a pleasant surprise. Singler, Catron, Strowbridge and company were able to do what Brooks, the Lukes, Freddie Jones and a couple of Elite 8 teams were not able to do...beat Stanford at Stanford. It sure looks like Altman can coach!
As a Duck fan James was the Rodgers brother that I feared the most. While Quizz could get his yards James was the one that could turn around a game with one big play be it a punt return or long pass or kickoff return. I think that he opened up the running game as well because of the threat of a big play. This will be a big loss for OSU if he cannot come back and that is unfortunate and sad for the young man.
I was reviewing an article from April on 2010 about the Matt Humphrey transfer. The comments mainly were about the "broken" UO athletic department, the poor coaching search, the lack of an AD and the problems with letting boosters run the show. Since then the football team has been in "the Natty", we have a new AD who looks solid and the Altman hire looks like a great one. Sometimes we just need a little patience. This basketball team is fun to watch and nearly 12,000 fans last Saturday shows that many others think the same.
TheTruth: Read the article again. The down town grazing shot was March 20th, the killing was March 26th...the plea agreement was either today or just a few days ago...long after the killing. Dropping the charges for the downtown grazing was not done before the killing but long afterwards. By agreeing to drop the downtown grazing shot charge the prosecutor got Williams to plead guilty to murder. Seems like a good deal to me.
Building a new bridge over the Columbia will not fix the congestion at the Rose Quarter or Tualatin or Wilsonville. A 10 or 12 lane bridge that funnels down to 6 lanes south of Jantzen Beach will lead to the same jam ups and congestion as today. There are cheaper solutions. WES type train from Vancouver over existing Union Pacific Tracks to Union Station would be a much faster way to downtown Portland than Max or driving. No bridge raising during commute hours would fix that problem. 3 lanes each way from Stafford Road to Oregon City on I-205 and fixing the congestion at the north end of the Glenn Jackson Bridge would allow I-205 to be the Portland bypass route for through traffic that it was supposed to be.

This has nothing to do with Democratic or Republican leadership. The Chinese are outbidding Blue Heron for the raw material. Unless you want to make it illegal to export waste paper then this is the result of Blue Heron not being able to compete with China. We live in a global economy and what happens in China, Europe, NY, and just about anywhere else greatly affects our economy. Oregon is a small market that depends on selling its products around the country and around the world and as soon as we stop waiting for politicians to "fix it" and instead focus on being competitive (e.g. strong education, transportation, innovation, investment funds) the sooner we will have a stronger economy.
Is this the same Autzen as in "Autzen Stadium"??
Well, I did not see this coming! Clearly a different team than we saw in the last four games of the regular season. Maybe they will still get a post season offer...unlikely but they play either UW or WSU and they have beaten both.
Interesting post by caramaru3 but the situation is not as bleak as suggested. Most of the damage to Japan (and Indonesia 6 years ago) has been because of the tsunami and not the actual quake shaking and Portland is too far from the coast to be affected by a tsunami. The buildings survived the quake in Japan because of strong building codes and Portland has strong codes as well. There has been some retrofitting of older structures (e.g. the Marguam bridge was made "seismic proof" about 15 years ago) and some closed because that were unsafe. The city and state has recognized the risk and has done some work to reduce damage (seismic risk maps, new building codes, retrofits, etc) but it cannot force every older private residence or building to rebuild or retrofit. What the city can do is to make sure that emergency services are working if there is a big quake and make sure that new structures are seismic proof. The question remains is whether or not we as residents of the area are willing to pay more to make structures stronger (e.g. opposition to a $5 fee in Clackamas county to replace the Sellwood bridge).
Is a "pro" school like Jesuit good for Oregon sports? I asked my high school son (a basketball fan and Ducks fan) if he wanted to go to last night's game and watch some good basketball and see Oregon's next center. His response: "Nah, I don't like watching the 'University of Jesuit'". When the deck is stacked the fan interest declines.
msmith55 is correct that BART has not helped LA traffic because it is in the SF Bay Area and it has certainly helped there. It has not solved the traffic problems but if BART was not there the Bay Area's traffic problems would be even worse for East Bay and Cross Bay trips.
Those that advocate widening i-5 between the Marquam and Interstate bridges must realize that can only be done by removing businesses and housing. The expense and political costs make that unlikely.
rtheda: very good reasons for not running Max down Burnside. The current alignment puts Max next to the Rose Garden, the Convention Center and the Lloyd center. All very popular destinations by Max riders. The current alignment allows much faster running past the Lloyd center because of the dedicated right of way to Gateway. Traveling down Burnside would have been slower and not have serviced some key high travel locations. I can't imagine the traffic around the Rose Garden during events without the Max access..it is what I use whenever I go to and event there (or at the Convention Center or Jeld Wen Park for that matter.)
Too bad it is so hard to be a two sport athlete. There are a few Beavers and Ducks that play football and run (or jump) track but that seems to be about the only combination for two sport athletes that works these days.

MADISON COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) – A huge tree fell on a home in Madison County early this morning. Fortunately, the homeowner was not hurt.
The home is on Steakley Road, off Bell Factor Road in the Riverton community. The homeowner, Fred Medlen, says he heard a loud noise about 2:30 a.m.
"We heard pop, pop, pop and next thing I know.. this thing.. I said 'it's going, it's going, it's going; and ploop," said Medlen.
Hours later, Medlen admitted he was sad to see the old oak tree end up like this.
"Oh yeah, that was perfect shade in the summer time," said Medlen.
His family estimates it had been there for close to a century.
"It's not rotten.. It's just, time for her to go," he said.
Now, half of the tree is in Medlen's attic, crushing the front of his house. Crews told him they'd have to use a crane to lift it off. His insurance adjustor also came to the house Tuesday morning, but couldn't estimate the true loss until the tree was removed.

This application is a Continuation-In-Part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/414,262, filed 1 May 2006 and now abandoned, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/683,859, filed 23 May 2005.
Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of kilns used in the drying of lumber, and more particularly pertains to an improved kiln having a continuous opposing feed and discharge stream at each end of the kiln where the passing of the dried lumber preheats the green lumber.
Drying lumber is typically performed in a batch kiln process, where an insulated chamber is used that is adapted to control several drying process conditions, including, but not limited to air temperature in the kiln, air speed across the lumber, and the relative humidity in the chamber. As these kilns are a closed atmosphere, packages of sawn lumber, often referred to as green lumber, separated by stickers are placed in the kiln in batches. The packages are often loaded vertically, horizontally, and end to end.
Once the batch of packages are in place, the chamber is closed and a schedule or recipe of temperatures and relative humidity is initiated for a determined time interval or until a certain moisture content in the lumber is achieved. Generally, the schedule gradually increases the temperature in the chamber and lowers the relative humidity. This allows the lumber to give up its moisture to the surrounding air, which may then be vented to the outside atmosphere.
The particular schedule used and the drying time varies depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, lumber type/species, thickness, moisture content, end use of the lumber and the like. Once the schedule has run, the kiln doors are opened and the packages are removed from the kiln chamber and further prepared for shipping to a final destination. This opens the chamber to atmospheric conditions and can often require a significant amount of time and energy to bring the next charge of green lumber up to drying conditions.
While lumber is typically dried as fast as possible depending on the cell structure, drying too rapidly can have adverse affects on the lumber, such as checking, splitting, warping, cupping, and the like. Accordingly, the temperature and humidity in the kiln, as well as the drying time will vary depending on the above listed factors. For example, Red Oak may take up to 28 days dry from green to 7% moisture content, while Southern Yellow Pine can be dried in approximately 20-24 hours from green to 15% moisture content.
In the following detailed description, reference may be made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration embodiments in which the invention may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of embodiments in accordance with the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a continuous type lumber drying process, where, in
In one embodiment of the present invention, a kiln 14 may include three zones: a primary drying zone 16; and two preheat/conditioning zones 18 and 20, one being coupled to each end of the primary drying zone 16. A dual path configuration may be implemented to convey lumber through the preheat/conditioning zones 18 and 20 and the primary drying zone 16. The dual path of the present invention may convey charges in opposite directions through the kiln, and controllably operate at a rate calculated to ensure that the proper drying of a green charge is achieved from the time it enters the first end 22 and exits the second end 24 of the kiln, and when a green charge enters the second end 24 and exits from the first end 22.
By way of example, and as illustrated in the attached figures, in one embodiment in accordance with the present invention, the preheat/conditioning zones, Zone 1A,18 and Zone 1B,20, and the primary heating chamber, Heat Zone 16 may each be approximately 80 feet long, and coupled together such that a charge path 10 and a charge path 12 may pass through Zone 1A, Heat Zone and Zone 1B in a continuous manner, and in opposite directions. Embodiments of the present invention may include more than two lumber charge paths, and may further include more than three zones.
In operation, one or more of green lumber charges may be positioned to enter Zone 1A on path 12, and one or more dried lumber charges may be positioned in Zone 1A, 18 on path 10, having recently passed through the Heat Zone 16, where the charges were subjected to heated air to facilitate drying. As the green lumber charges on path 12 pass the dried lumber charges of path 10 in Zone 20, the dried charge of path 10 heats the air in Zone 1A,18. This heating effect in turn may heat the green lumber charge of path 12, thereby gradually raising the temperature encountered by the green charge and initiates the drying process of the green lumber charge. Likewise, as the green lumber charge begins to dry, it may release moisture into the air of Zone 1A, 18. This moisture release may cool the air and increase the humidity of the air. This cooler, moister air may then be circulated past the dried lumber charge of path 10 in Zone 1A,18, serving to condition the dried lumber charge exiting the kiln.
It can be appreciated that a similar preheating and conditioning process may occur in Zone 1B 20, but with the dried lumber charge being conveyed on path 12 and the green lumber charge being conveyed on path 10.
In one embodiment, fans of varying horsepower and position may be distributed in the preheat/conditioning zones to facilitate directing the movement of air between the various lumber charges. For example, fans several of which are indicated at 26 in
In one embodiment, the only venting of the kiln is through the open ends of the input/output ends 22, 24 of the preheat/conditioning zones. In other embodiments, one or more vents may be positioned in the preheat/conditioning zones to controllably regulate the temperature and manage any condensation or moisture congregation that may occur.
In one embodiment of the present invention, baffles or other partitions , as indicated in broken lines 28 in
In other embodiments, the Heat zone may be multiple zones having heating elements of varying sizes to further control the gradual heating of the green lumber as it passes through the heat zones. Baffles or partitions, as indicated in broken lines 30, may also be disposed between the various heat zones to facilitate temperature regulation within the individual heat zones and resist migration of air having a higher moisture content from one heat zone to another.
In one embodiment, different horsepower/sized fans may be used in different zones or sub-zones to controllably vary the rate of air flow across the lumber charges. The baffles 28, 30 may help prevent migration of air velocity and help maintain air differentials between the zones, where different horsepower fans are being used for example. In one embodiment, the higher air velocity is generated in the zones at or near the center of the kiln. The air velocity may be gradually reduced in the zones towards the entry/discharge ends of the kiln.
In various embodiments, the travel time of the lumber charges may vary depending on many of the same factors affecting the batch kiln process. When using a continuous drying process in accordance with embodiments of the present invention, it is anticipated that the length of time for a charge to pass through the kiln and be dried to a desired moisture content will take no longer than the typical batch kiln process for analogous species and dimensions. It is preferred that the rates the charges pass through the kiln are equal but opposite in direction. The rate, however, may be varied collectively or independently depending on the rate of drying for a particular charge. Accordingly, in one embodiment, the moisture content of the lumber charges being dried is monitored, and the flow rate may be altered as needed to ensure the dried lumber charges exits the kiln at the proper moisture content.
In one embodiment, for example, when drying Southern Yellow Pine, the rate of movement of the lumber charges through the kiln may be equal on path 10 and path 12, and may be in the range of approximately 0.05-0.5 ft/min, and utilize a heating element having a rating in the range of 15-35 million BTU/hr. Again, the rate and heat source may vary depending on the factors identified above.
The overall throughput may be greater in a kiln in accordance with embodiments of the present invention, as the charges are continuously being processed as opposed to the batch kilns where once a drying cycle is complete, the charges must be removed and new charges loaded. Throughput will also be greater than a traditional kiln with the same size heat system, due to the use of heat from a dried lumber charge to heat the green lumber charge. This may further lead to reduced energy use, as the preheating of the green charges prior to entry into the primary heating chamber, or heat zone, can reduce the size or output of the heat source, for example. Further efficiency may be realized as the heat zone does not need to be cooled to the outside temperature every time a drying cycle is complete and a new charge must be loaded. Further, kilns in accordance with embodiments of the present invention may run at a constant dry bulb and relative humidity, which simplifies the various process controls.
In addition to the discussion of various embodiments above, figures and additional discussion are presented herein to further describe certain aspects and various embodiments of the present invention. It is to be understood, however, that a wide variety of alternate and/or equivalent embodiments or implementations calculated to achieve the same purposes may be substituted for the embodiments shown and described without departing from the scope of the present invention. Those with skill in the art will readily appreciate that embodiments in accordance with the present invention may be implemented in a very wide variety of ways. This application is intended to cover any adaptations or variations of the embodiments discussed herein.

Don't listen to or let the pundits get to you, Annie. You are beautiful……In whatever you wear….by any standard they choose to judge you by.
Thought Anne was great and her character very likable. so much in fact that I think the wrong character got hit by the truck. very upset by that at the end of the movie and glad to see she's still okay.
I have always been of fan of you Anne. Your a fantastic actress and a down to earth person that people always feel they can relate to. I hope you don't lose yourself in the Hollywood scene. Hold on to your Christian values. Your a truly beautiful person!
R from Az
August 24, You know as a fan and seing your last movie [Twice] One Day, I have a unfavorable opinion and a great one, the first is that well your, I mean compared to the likes of Camilla Belle etc your nto pretty hardly at all, almost repulsive like, bulbous nose and a crocadile like mouth, but the good news is, is that your acting skills are second to none, I dont know why you and Leo C. are never nominated for the politically tainted unprofessional Oscars. And there you have it, but I dont look like brad pitt either I suppose. Anyways I enjoyed that show, lots of turns

Lecture probes links between religious rhetoric and the presidency
Martin J. Medhurst, who teaches political science and rhetoric and communication at Baylor University, is hosting a lecture at the Center for Religion, Law and Democracy on Oct. 25.
The lecture, "Religious Rhetoric and the Presidency: Lessons from George Washington to Barack Obama," begins at 7:30 p.m. in Cone Chapel of Waller Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
Medhurst says he plans to discuss lessons people learn from this often-overlooked subject.
"I'm excited about religious rhetoric and the presidency because it is a perennial topic, and one that is often dismissed as merely campaign fluff or disparaged as pandering for votes," Medhurst says.
"By studying the history of religious discourse and the presidency, we can learn important lessons — not just about the past, but about today as well."
Medhurst has written numerous books and is a regular contributor to various communications journals. He also serves as the series editor for the Rhetoric and Religion Series at Baylor University Press in Texas.

Luis Suarez hit a hat-trick for hosts with Daniel Sturridge rounding off the goals, whilst James Morrison got the Baggies' consolation from the penalty spot.
Clarke said: "It was a difficult afternoon.
"We set up to be open in the game, but maybe we were too open.
"From 2-0 down it's always difficult to chase a game, and Liverpool are a good team.
"They've got good dynamic, their two front players are in form at the moment and we suffered at their hands."
Despite conceding two early goals, the Scotsman praised the effort from his team: "We kept going, so you can't fault the effort.
"We just gave ourselves too big a mountain to climb.
"To go 2-0 down after the first 20 minutes, it was difficult to get back in the game.
"I said to the players the third goal was crucial, and we conceded another one from a set-play which was disappointing.
"But we kept going, we kept working away. We created a number of chances in the second half, as did Liverpool, so it was an open game."
