Studying for the LSAT / Anyone else Phi Beta Kappa?« on: October 19, 2006, 09:01:34 PM »
It sucks, doesn't it, to do so well, graduate with honors (Summa Cum Laude for me), and get elected to PBK, only to potentially see it all go to S*H*I*T with one email over the next couple of days?
Studying for the LSAT / Email Scores BEFORE LSAC Posting, or vice-versa?« on: October 17, 2006, 09:04:04 PM »
Will we get emails before, after, or simultaneously with the LSAC website posting? Does anyone from June or before have an answer to this?
For some reason, I imagine the scores will post online before they are emailed. Just want to be ready. Thanks!
Studying for the LSAT / Anyone get EXTRA time in any sections?« on: September 30, 2006, 07:13:12 PM »
We had one LR section that was extended by about a minute by a none-too-attentive proctor. Anyone else?
Studying for the LSAT / Most difficult Oct. game to set up?« on: September 30, 2006, 04:34:56 PM »
Of the scored sections:
It took me 4 minutes and 3 different setups to figure out the Graduation Year/Car game. I don't think there's been anything like it before.
Studying for the LSAT / Fontsize used in actual test relative to LSAC Preptests« on: September 27, 2006, 12:15:29 PM »
This sounds like agonizing over insignificant details, but I have to resort to reading glasses once in a while if the print is too small for my aging eyes.
The LSAC PTs are generally okay for me without having to use reading glasses.
Can someone comment on this? I will bring my glasses with me to be sure, but am curious about what I can expect on Saturday. Thanks!
Studying for the LSAT / With New ABA Rules - Cancel or Retake?« on: September 26, 2006, 12:09:39 PM »
Trying to develop a strategy...
With the new ABA rules of higher score, if I don't FEEL LIKE I did as I expect to this Saturday (164-166), what is the best strategy? Waiting for the score and then perhaps retake in December, or cancel and prepare for December?
1) Take test, bomb (according to me) and get a high-150's, retake in December and try to shoot for mid-160s.
2) Take test, feel uneasy, cancel score, and retake in December.
What would you do?
Studying for the LSAT / Saturday's test: Doing this for...« on: September 25, 2006, 10:14:58 AM »
... my two young kids who, unselfishly & unwittingly, are putting a significant part of their lives on hold so I can do this & go to LS. To Cal & Serena: Daddy will make this up to you, I promise.
... to my wife, who didn't deserve all of this when she married me. Baby, thanks for hanging on.
Studying for the LSAT / 150 or 180, let's just agree to be the best lawyers we can be« on: September 25, 2006, 09:54:04 AM »

ESR1 score cut-offs using training set and the GEICAM/9906 testing set. The ESR1 score is provided as a qualitative call of high, intermediate, or low. The cut-offs were based on the continuous expression of ESR1 across prototype samples in the training set. Each circle on the box plot represents an individual sample that is color coded according to IHC status. The cut-points between high, intermediate, and low classes were individually derived from the training set samples (A). Data from ESR1 gene expression over the GEICAM 9906 samples (B) are plotted on the same scale as the training set. Samples are colored according to ER IHC positivity (red) or negativity (blue) determined at a central facility.

Each year over 200,000 children are injured on America's playgrounds. Although some measures have been initiated to address the growing problems associated with playground safety, there has been no nationally coordinated effort in this area. In recognition of this need, the National Program for Playground Safety was created in October 1995 to help communities across the nation examine the critical issues surrounding playground safety.There are four contributing factors to properly maintain a safe playground atmosphere.
S.A.F.E. Factors
- Provide proper supervision of children on playgrounds.
- Design age-appropriate playgrounds.
- Provide proper fall surfacing under and around playgrounds.
- Properly maintain playground equipment.

This morning I walked along a stone wall circling a hill as far as I could see. To my right was an expanse of green fields, bordered by forests that framed the horizon. The path I took this morning was well traveled. It was, in fact, along an aisle of the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center. Many famous scientists, dignitaries, and world leaders have walked these halls of local field stone and uninterrupted glass.
Architected by Eero Saarinen over a half century ago, this iconic structure is still the vibrant epicenter of the world's largest industrial research organization. Throughout the last five decades, this building has facilitated famous achievements and longstanding worldwide patent leadership. Saarinen believed that some of our best thinking is done with nature as our inspiration. His design embraces the forested landscape and natural stone with bold and sweeping lines that infer the endless possibilities of the human mind. I settled into one of his womb chairs in the library looking across a floating stone table into the green pasture to capture my thoughts for this article on paper.
The TJ Watson Research Center is located in Yorktown Heights, New York. It has played a lead pioneering role in the evolution of IBM, but, like its location, maintains some distance from the day-to-day operational units. Its shepherding, however, is felt around the world with extended research facilities that have embraced the growing global nature of our business.
The building and much of its furnishing, including the chair I am sitting on, have remained relatively intact for the last five decades, which is significant given the transformation of the IBM corporation since this building's capstone was put in place on April 25th, 1961.
That transformation has affected everything within and without the structure itself while the foundational beliefs of IBM, like the very foundation of this building, remain intact.
The building houses a vast collection of tools and laboratories for close to six hundred PhD's who work here. A formidable supply of electrical power as well as over 15,000 different chemicals and toxic gases are available. There is also an on-site nitrogen-generation plant, a helium-delivery system, an oxygen system, and a wastewater-treatment plant.
How does a building, designed before the IBM 360 system, keep up with the demands of bleeding edge science? I took a trip into the almost Harry Potter-like world of this building to find out.
Between the numbered corridors and hidden behind almost-invisible locked doors, another surprise awaited – the utility cores that efficiently provide water and gases to the building's many laboratories. This core is a long and narrow alley with all manner of conduits and supply feeds. Who could possibly work in such a space? Apparently there is a wizard called 'the plumber' who has been tinkering in these spaces for longer than anyone in the building can remember.
Behind the back of the building, I went through an accordion-style access gate and down a set of steel steps into multiple large rooms that were filled with massive equipment. The vibrations, temperature, and sounds of these rooms let you know you are in the heart of the building.
It's hard to appreciate boilers, chillers, condensers, fuel tanks, and electric stations until you stand next to (or under) them. Back in the days of punched cards and magnetic core memory, the chillers in this building were powered by steam and massive amounts of air exhaust were drawn out of the building by belt fans. The speed of the fans was adjusted by using different belts, each of which was changed by hand. Waste was pulled from the building from large skips on a daily basis.
Today the science and tools, which IBM is using for smarter planet offerings, are also transforming buildings like this that we live and work in. Manual controls and gauges have largely been replaced with digital switches and smart sensors. Energy management, sustainability, grey water applications, and carbon foot printing have supplanted prior practices that were based on the idea of unlimited resource. Recycling at this site has reduced waste to the point that only one container for two weeks is all that's needed.
It takes good architectural "bones" to accommodate such change with only minor surgery. Today boilers are run far more efficiently and chiller towers are able to operate 3000 hours a year on free-air cooling. Research staff are working to further increase the efficiency of free-air usage by using the BlueGene supercomputer for weather prediction, while solar experiments are conducted on the building grounds. Facility engineers have developed and acquired software to run every aspect of the building inside control rooms that resemble computer-driven command centers.
IBM's new smarter building solution leverages the experience gained from managing buildings like this one. Coupled with the IBM software stack, building management business partners, and global services, IBM is well poised to continue this advance for the next 100 years. Operations, space, and energy management are combining into one holistic, highly automated system. Building data feeds are being aggregated, filtered, and correlated to produce work orders and actions based on policies and rules that are programmed into the system. Data from the buildings is being captured in databases for analytics and mash-ups for different role-based dashboards.
Smarter buildings will be holistically managed and optimized to integrate well with other buildings, and with smarter systems like smart grid and smart water. They leverage technology and processes to create a safer, more productive, operationally efficient building that is also environmentally responsible for the planet.
The very science and research that the TJ Watson Research Center was designed to inspire and faithfully deliver over the last 50 years is now being leveraged to make this building smarter. In turn, the smarter this building becomes, the better job it will do facilitating the pioneering work which is conducted that has been a hallmark of the IBM Corporation.

Tight security at Vatican for beatification
Catholic World News - April 29, 2011
Security will be tight at the Vatican during the beatification of Pope John Paul II, but officials have indicated that there are no particular reasons for concern.
"There are no specific threats, but these are major events," said Italian police chief Antonio Manganelli. "So we have a duty to strengthen intelligence, information, territory checks, surveillance and protection services."
More than 50 world leaders are expected to attend the ceremonies, adding pressure on the security team. But Manganelli assured reporters that Roman officials are prepared--and have experience coping with the demands, most notably from the funeral of John Paul II in 2005.
Early on Saturday afternoon, April 30, all access to St. Peter's Square and the surrounding streets will be restricted. Vehicular traffic will be stopped until after the beatification ceremony. Pilgrims attending that ceremony will be able to enter St. Peter's Square early on Sunday morning.
Weather forecasts call for some showers over the weekend, but organizers still anticipate that 1 million people will attend the beatification and the prayer vigil on the preceding evening.

Saturday January 4, 2014 MYT 11:16:10 AM
by yasmin ahmad kamil
Many of us are guilty of taking our safety for granted but the start of a new year is a good time to ditch some bad habits and adopt some good ones.
Metro Online Broadcast(mob.com.my)l ooks at some common don'ts that all of us have committed at one time or another
1) Leaving valuable items on car seats: Smash-and-grab cases are rampant and yet many motorists still leave their valuables on car seats, making them an easy target. Motorists should keep valuables in the boot
or under the seats.
2) Over-sharing on social media: Many use social media for sharing information but some things are
best kept under wraps. Posts about going on long holidays can be an invitation to robbers. Refrain from sharing such information online. Also, limit the access to security settings and location-based apps to close family and friends.
3) Leaving kids unsupervised in public places: Leaving a young child in a public place unsupervised even for a momentis very risky. The trauma experienced by a child who is lost even for a few minutes is immeasurable. They also are at risk of being kidnapped or being injured in a mishap.
4) Exercising outdoors with earphones: Noise-cancelling headphones or devices thatl imit one's hearing are a no-no when exercising outdoors. Not being able to hear oncoming cars or people who may be
approaching can put your life in danger.
5) Leaving valuable items on tables in public places: Many people become complacent in public places. Leaving one's wallets, car keys and handphones on the table while deeply engrossed in conversation is
common. Such practices give thieves an opportunity to grab the items in the blink of an eye. One's
valuables should be kept out of sight.
6)Rummaging for keys in car parks: Have your keys ready when approaching your vehicle, especially in carparks. Lone women drivers may be targets for criminals, especially when entering cars in dark and deserted places. Having the keys in hand can limit the time spent in such vulnerable locations. Additionally, keys can double-up as a weapon.
7) Using a single passwo rd for all accounts: From Facebook, email to bank accounts, passwords on various platforms can be difficult to remember. However, having different passwords for different
platforms is a small effort compared with the consequences of having your accounts hacked.
8) Using a handphone while driving: Texting, watching videos, talking on a handphone while driving can
cause accidents. If you really have to make a call, use a hands-free kit. Stop by the roadside if you have to read or answer a text message.
9)Carrying unnecessary items when going out : Carry only essentials and limit the amount of cash in your wallet when going out. Don't carry credit cards if you don't need to use them.
10) Keeping valuables in the back pocket: Placing one's belongings, especially wallets, in a back pocketis an invitation to pickpockets. Keeping them in one's front pockets can minimise your chance of becoming
a victim of pickpockets or having the items falling out.

Giving It Away!
What never fails to amaze me is that despite the fact that I've been visiting my grandparents at this house since I was born, and the fact that I even lived there for my first year of university, I still find items that I've never seen before, like this copy of "You're You, Charlie Brown". Since Scott a) likes Charlie Brown, b) dressed up as Charlie Brown one year for Halloween and c) is called Charlie Brown by a few people, I knew it had to come home. Similar logic followed with the "All About Sandwiches" brochure from Agriculture Canada.
Even though I know that we don't have a lot of room to store things, right now, I just couldn't turn down some of these items.
Do you have any items from family that you have to have - but that doesn't go with your decor?

We have two owl pictures in our basement that are quite hideous, but they were family heirlooms that my husband just had to have!ReplyDelete
I put very little emotional value into 'things' because I used to get too attached to them in the past. But I do keep these three hat boxes that were my mom's. They've accumulated pictures and small mementos of my life, my brother's, my parents, and our extended family. I've started my own 'box' but I've yet to find another hat box to go with the collection. They stay put away in the closet, but sometimes when I need to connect it's there.ReplyDelete
When my grandparents died (I lost my last 2 within a few months of each other), I picked a few things that reminded me of them. A teacup and saucer that was "mine" when I came over, my Grandad's albums of licence plates, some of my grandmothers' jewelry.ReplyDelete
I am a keeper and collector of things! I have a "tractor seat" chair from the first swather my Grandpa had as a boy, a necklace from my Great Grandma, a trunk from my Great Aunt, a desk from Kay and Sandy, china from Grandma, a table and ring from Grandmere and about 1000 homemade blankets and quilts. I'm very sentimental and can't bring myself to part with these items. They are a wonderful daily reminder of those who are gone but played such a large part in my life.ReplyDelete

(WASHINGTON) -- The House Budget Committee's top Democrat picked a political fight with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell over campaign finance reforms during a speech Monday. Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., challenged McConnell to be more specific in his critique of the DISCLOSE Act, Van Hollen's campaign finance reform bill that would require independent political groups that purchase ads designed to elect or defeat specific candidates to disclose the names of their top contributors.
"I have here in my hand a copy of the Disclose Act," he said, holding up a dog-eared copy of the bill during remarks at the conservative American Enterprise Institute in Washington. "I challenge Sen. McConnell -- or anybody else -- to show me where it selectively targets conservative groups."
McConnell previously blasted the act as a "a backdoor effort to discourage those who disagree with the Obama administration from participating in the political process." The powerful Kentucky Republican also led the charge to block a previous version of the law in 2012, warning that the legislation would subject members of conservative advocacy groups to "public intimidation and harassment" and allowed for the "creation of a modern-day Nixon enemies list."
The Republican leader's new comments come in the wake of the controversy surrounding the Internal Revenue Service's admission that conservative groups were targeted for extra scrutiny during the 2012 election cycle.
But on Monday Van Hollen dismissed McConnell's claim as "a bunch of nonsense."
"Their claim of selectivity is a red herring," he said. "You can't avoid disclosure because you might get your feelings hurt or face public backlash. That's part of the rough and tumble of a vibrant democracy and a spirited debate."
He called McConnell's support for other types of disclosures "a total double standard."
"Why is it in the public interest to require disclosure of a $200 contribution to a candidates' political campaign and not in the public interest to disclose a $200 million expenditure to elect or defeat that candidate?" he asked. "It's time for Sen. McConnell to stop saying the DISCLOSE Act is some kind of Lefty conspiracy."
Van Hollen said donor transparency gives the public more information about who is trying to influence elected officials and aids in the enforcement of other campaign finance laws, like the prohibition against foreign donors.
In his address, Van Hollen also criticized 501(c)(4)s, which have funneled millions of dollars of "undisclosed money" into campaigns -- on both sides of the political aisle -- since the controversial Citizens United case in 2010.
The Maryland Democrat noted a "glaring discrepancy" between the statutory definition of a 501(c)4 -- an organization "operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare" -- and the IRS's regulatory definition, which claims that "an organization is operate exclusively for the promotion of social welfare if it is primarily engaged in promotion in some way the common good."

For the past few weeks I have been staying in the Red River Gorge of central Kentucky. The climbing here is world class and this season has seen a strong group of climbers come and destroy every hard route in the area. Seeing a large group of some of the top athletes in the world is truly inspirational. Every day at the crag we saw athletes like John Cardwell, Adam Ondra, Daniel Woods, Nick Duttle, and many other athletes from all over the world. The energy was really high at the crags and every one was motivated to send their projects and enjoy the perfect fall temps. During this time one of my friends showed me an unrepeated traditional route that was just recently put up by Andrew Gearing in the beginning of this year. Since then it has seen very few attempts and was rumored to be one of the best traditional routes in the Red. The route is located on the second pitch of Long Wall in the northern region of the Red. This region sees very little traffic compared to its popular southern region and on busy weekends can be completely empty. When we arrived on the first day there was no one and looking up at the route from the ground was breathtaking. To reach the route you have to climb an awkward 5.8 dihedral to a comfy ledge where you can sit and relax with a perfect 180 degree view of the gorge. After enjoying the view for a few minutes and taking in everything, I got all my gear ready and started up the climb with everything feeling perfect. One of my friends from New York shot a video of the ascent on his iphone so the footage is shaky at times, but the route is really asthetic and one of the best lines in the Red. Enjoy!

My review
Original recipe yields 4 servings
Ready In
I made this for my mother, since I'm underage, and she seemed to like it. For minors such as myself, I suggest substituting butterscotch flavoring for the schnapps and adding a tablespoon of but...
This recipe was WAY too sweet for my taste. I made it with ginger beer rather than the cream soda, and LOVED it.
It is sweet, but the flovor was 'dem fine' I must say. If there are more ways you can think of to make this, pls post them. Thanks again, it was great!

"They" Don't Get It. Why Certification Can Help
Griping is common in the contingent workforce world. Buyers carp that staffing suppliers hound them but don't get strategic. Suppliers moan that buyers can't look beyond costs in order toget strategic. But here's the thing. Both sides have the identical expectations of the other. And we have data to back this up.
A Staffing Industry Analysts survey a couple of years ago revealed that when buyers were asked what advice they would give staffing firms, their number one response was that staffing firms should be "more of a real business partner." In another survey, when staffing firms were asked that very question, the answer was exactly the flip side – buyers should be "more of a real business partner."
If expectations are the same, then why is there this gap? The notion that staffing firms benefit more than buyers in this relationship, frankly, is silly. At the risk of stating the obvious, staffing firms provide talent that helps buyers get the job done, which in turn contributes to their company's bottom line — and their salaries. Staffing firms are paid for this competency. The equation is complete. But what irks suppliers is the buyer treating them as a necessary evil. Suppliers resent the fact that their profits are unreasonably squeezed and they are treated as a commodity.
It's an age-old war.
Obviously, both audiences need to get on the same page. Certification is a way to do just that. "The fact is that we at Staffing Industry Analysts have been doing this for 20-plus years and no one else has this accumulated knowledge. In our CCWP course, we distill and communicate it," says Jon Osborne, VP, strategic research.
Once certified, both sides define expectations in a common language, says Jerome Gerber, VP of Strategic Solutions, Award Staffing. And once they are speaking the same language, how hard is it to understand the other's problems and concerns?
Common language aside, certification will also help you motivate and retain your best workers. Another SIA survey revealed that employees feel happier and more productive when offered training and development, among other things.

Linus Torvalds: His Own Blog
A few days ago Finnish kernel developer and Linux founder Linus Torvalds started his own blog on Blogger.com.
To confirm that the blog really was his, Torvalds said in a NetworkWorld article, "Yes, yes, it's me. A 'fake Linus' would hopefully try to be entertaining."
Those hoping for exciting insights into kernel development may be disappointed for now. The title of the blog is "Linus' Blog: Eventually this might even contain some Torvalds family pictures." So far it includes items of a more personal nature. Linus talks about his life in the U.S. and the presidential elections. He decided to become a blogger after a friend set one up for himself with links to family photos. Because Torvald's blog is open and already appears on Digg.com, he says that he "set it up as a trial... but I'm not sure we'll actually ever post pictures of the kids (privacy etc.)"
He would prefer to blog about topics, in an interview manner, that don't have their normal place on the Kernel and GIT mailing lists. As he says, "it's likely about something tech-related and probably linux-related, since that's what I'd do." Some interesting things have already come out of it. For one thing, he's "impressed" by the solid state disks from Intel, despite their application to competing systems. Numerous comments in response to his blog have already appeared, but Torvalds has no fear of trolling because he posts once a week only and does not respond to the comments.

Alcohol Addiction Health Center
Living With
Many people recover from alcoholism and live full, healthy lives. Most treatment plans are ongoing and involve extended counseling. Addictions can be difficult to break, so many doctors tell their alcohol-dependent patients to develop new habits that don't involve alcohol or trigger a craving for it.
Also key to life after alcoholism is support from friends and family. Tell your family if you've made the decision to quit drinking and ask for their support.

Since Ashley and I have gotten new iPhones, I have been playing around with the still and video camera on the iPhone 4S. I think that the photo quality is very good — in fact, it is better than our old point-and-shoot Kodak camera that we bought when we finished graduate school. I am having the most fun the video camera, though. When Emily was born, Ashley and I bought a hand-held video camera but, like the point-and-shoot, the quality was not great and I rarely had it on me. With the video functionality in my phone, I am more likely to use it.
A few weeks ago, we went to Bridge Street to walk around on a Friday night, when the bands are out playing. Since Emily loves to dance, she just had to show off her moves.
Then, over Thanksgiving, Emily got together with her cousin Colin and had a good time playing at the park. I took some video and stitched together a couple of clips and still shots into this little movie.

But the two men, who between them have amassed 62 Test tries in 102 international appearances, only had 400 to deal with at St John's College as the best 20 schools from a project that invlved 20 different Townships acros Soweto, Alexandra and Mamelodi played in the final of a TAG rugby competition.
There were mixed teams competing at U10 and U13 levels and all the children benefited from some expert coaching from the famous double act.
"It is great that guys like Bryan invest their time in the future growth of the sport in their country. When you see the kids' faces when Bryan turns up it is amazing - even I get excited when I see him," said Jason.
"TAG rugby is a great way of teaching rugby to kids. Bryan and I taught some basic skills, like hand eye co-ordination, ball handling and passing skills, and the response from the kids has been fantastic
"The children were given a great opportunity and hopefully they can now go on to continue playing rugby and enjoying the sport."
For Bryan, and it was a day out in his home city the day after he had been announced in the 28 strong Springbok squad to take on the British & Irish Lions later this month. His appearance also came three days after he had helped the Bulls win the Super 14 title.
The reaction to him from the children was understandably enthusiastic, and his response to them was the same.
"It was great to see so many enthusiastic children enjoying the sport that I love so much. It was a privilege to join Jason at the event," said Bryan.
"He was one of my idols who I looked up to when I was younger. His moral values on and off the field are very special.
"Not many achieve what he has achieved and I would like to thank him for being such a great role model back in the UK and around the world. It is a real pleasure for me to be involved in the HSBC programme with him.
"I really hope that this TAG rugby programme will go on to produce a future Springbok or Blue Bull. I'd love to see someone from this programme go on to play rugby at the highest level.
"But hopefully all the kids involved will go back home and spread the word that rugby is fun. Both Jason and I told them the most important thing is to enjoy playing the game.
"It was a brilliant day for me and I'm grateful to HSBC for getting me involved. Rugby is the best game in the world and the children were very fortunate to be able to learn from Jason Robinson - one of the greatest players in the world.
"I've also been involved with the SOS IRB Kit Aid scheme that HSBC has backed. It was very special for me to meet children at Pimlico Academy in London last year who so generously donated their rugby kit.
"To see the response from the kids here in South Africa is just unbelievable."

He stayed with us till the ticket office opened and even took me personally to the office and back. Only when he was sure that we were safe and able to board did he leave. This kind of service you rarely ever get !!! He should be acknowledged for going way above and beyond and promoted an exemplatory image for your Co. Wish I could thank him again. He was so professional and helpful and made me and my friend feel safe !!!.

Hi, I've been trying to find a lightweight tent that I can use in Norwegian conditions. A lot of the tarp/tent makers seem to be from places in the US and cater to hikers who hike in milder weather than the Norwegian norm, and I really do not want to wake up in the middle of the night finding my tent dislodged from the ground due to strong mountain winds. With that said, I am by no means an "extreme hiker", I probably won't even use it if there's snow.I've been looking at both lightweight conventional tents and ultralight varieties, but I'm not really sure what to choose:- I'm fairly tall at 192cm- I need something with an inner net/tent. I'm the kind of guy who never get's itchy or anything from bug bites, but a week long camping trip last week at Hardangervidda would've been pretty unbearable if we didn't have a constant fire, and an inner tent. - I want something with a vestibule-esque feature for cooking and storing stuff.A lot of people seem to like the DuoMid, which I must admit looks excellent. I like how it seems big enough for me to sit out a bad weather spell, has room enough for equipment storage outside and cooking. I've however read some mixed opinions on its wind resistance. I've also looked at the Helsport Ringstind light 2, which has the added benefit of fitting two people, and a construction I feel is pretty wind-resistant. It is however about 1 kg heavier than the DuoMid with an Oookwork inner, and I'm not sure how easy it'd be to pack in a pack like the ULA Catalyst (I haven't settled completely on a backpack yet, but the Catalyst is the number one contender right now).Thanks in advance,Hans
The Duomid seems to do well in Scotland which can have strong winds and little cover to shield your camp. I think that when you pitch it close to the ground the walls will flex, but it'll stay put.I would ask Sean whether you'll fit the Oooknest though. If you are interested in a lightly used (three weeks), good as new Oooknest with Chikara floor drop me a PM. The Duomid nest very nice, but in hindsight I think I would be happier with the smaller Nano, leaving an even larger vestibule. As an alternative, did you consider the Hilleberg Una, with an inner from Sean? Standard the Una does not have a vestibule, but a very large inner. Sean's inner is about half as deep so you do get a vestibule. Heavier than a Duomid though, and more expensive.
Buy a Hilleberg (designed by your neighbors in Sweden). I carry a Hilleberg Akto in a Catalyst pack and it fits well and can deal with very bad weather. I used it hiking in the Norwegian fjords last year and it had no problems with the winds there above treeline.
Edited by craigr on 07/27/2012 14:10:59 MDT.
I would look at the Tarptent Scarp. With the crossing poles it will handle wind and snow much better than the Akto. Dual vestibules and dual doors even on the solo model (there is a Tarptent Scarp). Both very light for the performance and are proven in the conditions you describe.
For what it's worth, I used by Tarptent Squall with no troubles during a six-day trip on the Kungsleden in Arctic Sweden. I have to imagine the conditions there are similar to what you'd encounter.
Hilleberg tents are too expensive for me (they don't even seem to have an official importer in Norway), but as I mentioned in my first post, I've looked at the Helsport Ringstind Light 2, which is a two man tent similar to the akto at 1.7 kg, and I could probably shave some grams off that by swapping the stakes. The one person Scarp would be quite a bit lighter, but doesn't have a complete inner, which leads me to believe that there could probably be some condensation issues (especially as I radiate heat, both sleeping and awake). All of these tents lacks a sizable vestibule though, and I imagine that backpacks and footwear could easily get when in the rain/when there's lots of condensation.The Ringstind light:http://www.helsport.no/en/product/TENTS/PRO/Ringstind%20Light
Platou always seem to have Hilleberg tents in stock, but NOK 4350 for an Akto is a bit much, especially when compared to the cost of the Ringstind Light.The Ringstind has more headroom than the Akto, which would probably be better for you (at 180cm I have cannot sit upright on an Exped pad in an Akto) as well. I had an older version of the Ringstind and it worked well (although I sold it as I am just too used to the Akto).The MLD Trailstar has quite a following in the UK, with a suitable inner, such as the Oookworks one, so it would be suitable. I am not completely convinced though - an Akto/Ringstind goes up as one piece quickly and easily, so the convenience is worth the extra weight. I have used both a mid and a SMD Lunar Solo on Hardangervidda and now will only use an Akto, so make your own conclusions!And I have always found the vestibule of the Akto big enough for gear storage and cooking.
I use a DuoMid w/OookNest in Lapland, summer and winter. I've yet to encounter winds strong enough to knock it down, but I believe it does have an upper limit beyond which you really shouldn't be using it in the open.That said, I can see the benefits of something sturdier and (in winter) quicker to erect. I've had an Akto too, and while it's a great tent, it's reliance on stakes makes it less suitable for winter here.If I were looking for a "tent" tent, I'd probably save up and get a Hilleber Soulo. Tarptents are great, but if I wanted something bombproof and made for up here, HIlleberg know what they're doing.At the moment I'm looking at a Black Diamond Firstlight for winter use, but as a single wall shelter it's probably not what you're after.
Take à look at the Tarptent Moment with the liner and the extra pole. Otherwise any pyramid with a liner will work. eg BD Megalight or MLD Supermid.
Edited by rogerb on 07/28/2012 07:48:04 MDT.
Aside from Hans Kristoffer's price concerns with Hilleberg, at 192 cm / 6'5" tall I think he would find the Soulo too short. I have and swear by my Soulo for winter conditions. I'm 5'9" and there's plenty of space for me. A medium size DownMat fits with length to spare, but the large wide version (78" long) takes the entire inner tent footprint. The walls of the inner tent slope inwards and reduce usable headroom. It's manageable but may not be particularly comfortable. Of the solo Hillebergs, the Unna has the most space, but - if price were no constraint - I'd recommend sleeping diagonally in the Nammatj 2 instead.
Stuart is spot on here, the Soulo would definitely be too short, the Scarp 1 should be Ok but you would need to confirm with Tarp Tent.I have both and the Scarp is far roomier.
I really like the look of the Tarptent Moment, and even with the optional liner it's pretty affordable. Do you think the interior hight is high enough for me to sit in? Also, how would it fare in stronger winds?I also took a look at the MLD Trailstar, and while it looks good, I really like the ease of use a zipper gives all of the other tents. In rain and windy conditions I would imagine it hard to get in and out of since I'd have to basically crawl under the tarp. One thing I really like about the Trailstar and the DuoMid is that they both seem very dog friendly when paired with an inner. I've had dogs all my life, and I imagine I'd like to get one when I'm done with my studies and ready to settle down. I haven't even written my bachelor's paper yet though, and plan on getting a master's degree eventually, so by then I can probably afford another tent :)
Scarp with crossing poles will do much better in the wind than the Moment and DuoMid. I have used all three.
> The one person Scarp would be quite a bit lighter, but doesn't have a complete innerI don't understand your comment. Both the Scarp 1 and 2 are double wall tents, right?
I would consider this one as well. Cheap, sturdy, roomy and light.
Yes, the Scarp is fully double walled with the option of a mesh or fabric inner tent.

My advice to you is to choose a Scandinavian producer and forget about the extra 1 kg weight...That is, in my experience, nothing else can't handel the weather.This summer I have tried: Moutain Hardware Skyledge 2.1, - to cold and to much draft.MSR Hubba Hubba - Got wetFjellheimen 2 camp, worked wellStorsylen x-treme, worked very wellMH something 3-persons, worked so-so.I used this tent in Norwegian mountains, the problem as I see it is with the dome tent, that the outer shell does not go all the way down. Both wind and rain got underneath the shell and my down sleepingbag got wet. I was not very happy....

But of course the mountains in Norway often emerge straight from sea level, unlike those American "mountains" which start half way up ;)That reminds me of a Finn who once told me that "although the mountains in Norway are higher, ours are much older."
> Heh... But of course the mountains in Norway often emerge straight from sea level,> unlike those American "mountains" which start half way up ;)Can't compare to the American mountains, but when I was in Norway last month I was reminded of Swiss alps, even though these are twice the height...This year there's much more snow than usual (the locals told me) and the Sognefjellet, which is a pass at altitude 4000', was a plateau of snow and frozen lakes, surrounded by white peaks and glaciers. Pretty amazing (or amazingly pretty).

Keyword Research for PPC
Back in July I wrote about keyword research for SEO. Although researching keywords for SEO is similar to that for PPC there still are many core differences.
In many cases using the generic targets with high searches can be very costly in the world of PPC. While they can offer a good return, often long tailed, very specific phrases can offer more qualified traffic at a lower price. Read more…

I already spend a lot of time there, reading the general postings :
Should we start a DDC thread over there? Although, I do wonder if I should "switch", since DS ended up being a Feb. baby...
Hubby , ds (11) , adopted dd (10) , dd (6) , dd (1) & 3 foster dd's
Also, if the diaper is too bulky, doesn't that contribute to reflux because their butts are higher than their heads?
DH is mad at me for letting him try it, and I really wish I hadn't opened that can of worms either, but I had really thought I would tandem nurse for a little while, and I would have if it hadn't been so painful. Am a horrible mother?
Thanks to everyone for your good wishes, again. My MW was supposed to come today with another MW to re-stitch. But when we spoke just after lunch, she was waiting to hear from the other MW - and never called to say she had. So another cancelled appt. She is a flake, and it makes me nuts. If she keeps flaking, I still have the appt with the CNM for next week.
Sigh, OK, I guess we can move to LWAB since it's May 1... anyone else sad that we are leaving our great little DDC? I've been here since the day the ddc opened (actually I'm the one who pm'd the mod to start the ddc! ) and I will miss coming here. Am I sappy or what?
I can't start it right this second, but I can come back later today and start it if no one else has

Using Quasielastic Neutron Spectroscopy to Investigate Cement:
Special Interactions of Tricalcium and Dicalcium Silicate during Hydration
Cement is the most widely used and most important building material in the world. Cement clinker is a complex calcium silicate mixture, and is interground with a small amount of gypsum to make cement powder. Cement paste is produced when cement powder is combined with water, where hydration processes take place during which the mixture gains strength.
Tricalcium silicate is the primary component of Portland cement clinker, comprising 50-70 wt.% of the total composition, and is the component responsible for early strength development in cement paste. Dicalcium silicate is the second most abundant component, comprising 15-30 wt.% of clinker. Although dicalcium silicate contributes little to early strength development, by one year its strength is greater than that of tricalcium silicate paste. Although there exist numerous studies on the separate hydration of tricalcium silicate and dicalcium silicate, almost no studies on their interaction have been made, and it is the complex interaction of these phases that makes cement different from its constituent components.
Quasi Elastic Neutron Scattering (QENS) allows the state of the water in hydrating cement paste to be studied in-situ with time. Hence, QENS provides a direct measure of the conversion of free water to structurally/chemically bound water and to water constrained in the pores of the cement paste. Here we report the interaction of hydrating tricalcium and dicalcium silicates by QENS. Mixtures of synthetic tricalcium and dicalcium silicate were hydrated and their reaction mechanics explored as a function of mixture composition. The time-dependent free, constrained, and bound water results were analyzed. The complex interactions of the components during hydration gave interesting results, and demonstrated that the reaction does not proceed monotonically as a function of mixture composition.
Subsequent compressive strength testing has verified this surprising interaction and demonstrated that the interactions translate into strength properties of the system.

This is how far I've got with my first experimental plugin. I have learned how to take the selection and it's alpha channel into account. But I don't know how to merge that dynamically created layer to the base image. At least it seems to be the good style that typical plugin affects the active layer rather than leaves a new layer floating around.
I also don't understand should I use those img.disable_undo() and img.enable_undo()? My script works without those just fine. Or perhaps I should use those related to undo groups? I have no idea what's the difference and generally suggested practice.
I think I'd be not asking here some very specific dumb questions, if I could find any decent reference online. I really tried to find some, but failed. Or perhaps I don't know how to search for it? I mean something like API documentation, where all the objects and their methods are described. And perhaps some best practices, too. Right now, most of my plugin research is lines of painful trial-error attempts, feels like very inefficient way to spend my time. The only reasonable reference about Gimp-Python scripting I've found is here: http://www.gimp.org/docs/python/index.html But it certainly is very, very incomplete.
The plugin code is attached.
A script or plug-in should never "disable" the undo history unless it is working on an image which it has created. Disabling ('gimp-image-undo-disable') wipes all undo history (and your user may not be very happy about that). It is a good idea to disable undo when your script creates a new image (as with scripts under "File->Create->Logos", for example), and then enable undo when your script has finished -- in this way no undo steps (from other images) will be lost (GIMP uses a finite amount of undo memory). For such "image creating" scripts, the user can readily undo and redo by deleting the image and rerunning the script (or perhaps the created image is just a temporary one and deleted before your script finishes).
Except for some very rare occasions, when working with an existing image you will want to wrap your script's actions inside an undo group (using 'gimp-image-undo-group-start' and 'gimp-image-undo-group-end'), thereby leaving the image's undo history intact. You want your user to be able to undo whatever your script does with one "Edit->Undo" (CTRL-Z) and this is accomplished by grouping all your scripts actions as one "group".
Keep in mind that 1) grouping undo steps does not reduce the amount of undo memory required and 2) undo histories are image-specific -- each image has its own undo history -- though the amount of memory allocated for all of these histories is finite. Most typically this will not be a concern, but occasionally you will wish to consider the effect your script has on the overall undo storage requirements.
As an example, I once wrote a script which generated a calendar overlay for a layer which was the result of creating about 90 new layers (three for each day in the month) and performing a good number of steps for each layer (moving, resizing, drawing, filling, etc). Rather than merely grouping all of those steps, I chose to perform all of that work on a separate, temporary image (for which I disabled the undo history) and thus there was only a single step added to the original image's undo group (pasting the newly rendered layer). Depending upon how much work is being done, working on a separate, undo-disabled image can result in not only retention of the user's undo memory cache, but speed benefits as well.
As for 'gimp-image-undo-freeze', it disables adding any steps to the image's undo history but, unlike 'gimp-image-undo-disable', it does not wipe the history clean. Since it is necessary that your image be in the same state after "thawing" a frozen undo as it was before "freezing", this functionality seems of rather limited usefulness (I've only used it once).

Azaborolyl complexes. 27. The 1-tert-butyl-2-methyl-1H-1,2-azaborolyl ring as a bifunctional ligand in rhodium complexes.
In: Zeitschrift fuer Naturforschung, B: Chemical Sciences, Jg. 47 (1992) ; Nr. 5, S. 635-639
Zeitschriftenaufsatz / Fach: Chemie
Alkenyl substituted 1H-12-azaborolyl (Ab) complexes are promising candidates for stereoselective reactions, due to the chirality of the AbM moiety and the intramol. coordination of the alkenyl group to the metal atom. The synthesis of azaborolyl rhodium complex I was achieved by the reaction of AbLi with (Ph3P)3RhCl. In benzene soln. one PPh3 ligand of I is substituted by the C:C group of the pentenyl substituent. Simultaneously the h5-coordination of the Ab ring changes to an allylic h5-coordination forming complex II. Steric reasons seem to be responsible for this intramol. rearrangement. The shorter 2-propen-1-yl substituent is unable to act in the same way and therefore only forms the stable complex [1-tert-butyl-2-methyl-3-(2-propen-1-yl)-h5-1H-1,2-azaborolyl]-bis(triphenylphosphine)rhodium. Mass spectrometry, 1H, 11B and 31P NMR data were used to characterize the novel complexes.

Famished for good mysteries? Try an Amish thriller.
Dec 7, 2009, Vol. 15, No. 12 • By JOE QUEENAN
Like many whodunit fans, I made a fatal error at the outset of my reading career. I devoured Edgar Allan Poe, Sherlock Holmes, the Father Brown stories, the best of Agatha Christie, and scores of books featuring Georges Simenon's indefatigable Inspector Maigret. By the age of 30, I had polished off most of the masterpieces in the genre; as a result, I have spent my adult life working my way back down the slopes below the mountaintops, scavenging for material that is even vaguely comparable to the work of the titans.
Inevitably, my quest led me to such outstanding writers as P. D. James, Rex Stout, Dorothy Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, Ellery Queen (actually, two writers sharing one pen name), and more recently, Ruth Rendell and Michael Connelly. I have also enjoyed James Crumley, Tony Hillerman, George Pelecanos, Dennis Lehane, and James Lee Burke. Still, over the years, I wearied of murders taking place in bucolic Little Badminton, the satanic City of Angels, or the Bronx. For me, it was no longer enough for a mystery to be exciting; to work, it had to take place in some exotic, unfamiliar, or bizarre place.
Initially, my fascination with mysteries set in foreign climes led me to Ian Rankin's Inspector Rebus series in Edinburgh, which led me to Val McDermid's "Tartan Noir" mysteries in northern England, which led me to assorted mysteries set in rural Ireland. But because these stories all took place in English-speaking countries, it reinforced the sensation that I had never really left home. Gradually, I meandered over to France (Fred Vargas), up to Amsterdam (Janwillem van de Wetering), and down to Italy (Michael Dibdin, Andrea Camilleri). Yet I did not truly feel that I was busting out of the cultural straitjacket until a bookseller in Philadelphia suggested that I take a crack at the Swedish novelist Henning Mankell. Mankell's rumpled, laconic, indomitable Kurt Wallander, a Nordic Maigret, is the star of nine outstanding mysteries. Mankell, almost singlehandedly, has triggered a Scandinavian mystery boom in this country.
Well, a boomlet.
So taken was I by Mankell's work that I branched out and tried Kjell Eriksson, Hakan Nesser, Ake Edwardson, and the superb Stieg Larsson, then backtracked to Mankell's compatriots Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo (The Laughing Policeman), who made a big splash in the 1970s. Then I slipped across the border to Norway to read Karin Fossum, mistress of darkness. Inevitably, this led me to Iceland, site of eight novels by the gifted Arnaldur Indridason.
Yet once again, as soon as I had polished off the best writers in this genre, I began to tire of mysteries that took place in foreign countries. There was nothing special about Alicia Gimenez-Bartlett's police procedurals set in Barcelona; Patricia Hall's Yorkshire mysteries could have taken place anywhere. Cara Black's French thGooglrillers were neither particularly gripping nor particularly evocative of Paris, and she wasn't much of a writer. Alexander McCall Smith's good-natured Ladies' Detective Agency series weren't dark enough for me; only their Botswanan setting set them apart. The exotic thriller was starting to seem like a scam, a ploy to make a humdrum tale seem more compelling, when the only thing going for it was that it was set in some unusual place.
It was at this point that I stumbled upon P. L. Gaus's Ohio Amish Mystery series. Before I found them at my local library, I had no idea that such a genre existed. The Ohio Amish series are set in Holmes County, a heavily Amish community south of Cleveland. The central character is Michael Branden, a professor of Civil War history at Millersburg College who works in some strange adjunct capacity as a deputy for the Holmes County police force. Branden is also founder of the college's Museum of Battlefield Firearms, as well he should be. With help from such recurring characters as Pastor Caleb Troyer, Sheriff Bruce Robertson, and coroner Missy Taggert, Branden runs to earth all sorts of scum who prey on the Amish.
The books involve everything from butchered Amish dwarves to mute Mennonite child-abuse victims to anti-Amish land-grabs involving reverse leases. Not to mention cops going undercover in beards and buggies so they can nail Amish teenage delinquents gussied up in rubber goat's head masks who are flirting with Satanism during their wild Rumschpringe period when they are encouraged to get wasted and consort with trailer trash out in the straight world before packing it in and becoming full-fledged Amish.
