i don't really have trouble buying anything i need to use
or have needed to use over the last 10 or 15 years.
film or paper or chemistry, and sadly it was long before
computerized cameras appeared on the scene that films and papers
and equipment became scarce or obsolete or whatever ...
i worked for someone who had an old 5x7 solar enlarger
it was a huge sort of beast and made beautiful enlargements.
unfortunately in around 1980 bulbs for it stopped being produced ...
they were big incandescent bulbs with a long long neck ... the lady i worked for
hoarded them by calling every shop within 100 miles ( or so she said ) and buying all their stock.
i only learned this because she said " hey john pull that box out i want to show you something"
and i looked at maybe 50 of these bulbs all stacked in a huge box ..
she also had tray rockers ... steel flat, with a cam/rotating rod. she bought it in the 1940s
and i have never seen anything like it before or since ....
i've been searching for cans of GAF UNIVERSAL DEVELOPER for nearly 20 years, they haven't been made since the 70s ...
but the 20year old can that was holding up a window in a studio i rented .. a can that went through probably 15 harsh winters
and 120degree summers still mixed the best 5 gallons of any developer i have ever used, or at least "store bought developer"
and while people are so sad with the advent of digital "stuff" you only read it in digital beat down threads, otherwise
all i read about here on apug is how they bought an enlarger for 15$ and only a few years ago cost 1000.00, or a whole
professional photolab's darkroom was in the dumpster for the taking, or the nikon brag thread
where people can now afford to have 500 nikon cameras and accessories because they are finally affordable.
i've gotten some good deals, but they haven't been recent since some guy in nevada has spread such good press
on what used to be lenses headed for the dump. at least i know i'll get a good deal when i sell my 5 or 10dollar lenses
purchased before the "brass and glass gold rush" because there are always and will always be people looking for a silver bullet ...
heck, lomo is remanufacturing a petzval lens, lens baby has made a imagon lens ... these are things that WERE obsolete
and out of production or scarce but they have come back to haunt us through cheezy misuse and bad photography in both mediums ...
and at least now people who want specialty film sizes don't have to get orders for $15,000 of film ( a pallet ) through 1 manufacturer
they can fill their fridge once a year when ilford does their boutique size cut+run ..
as i said previously in a thread ( was it this one? ) im not a pessimistic or an optimist but a realist i guess
and while there is all sorts of bad-stuff that happened because fewer people use film cameras than in 1980, the sun hasn't set
and there is still plenty of film and paper and equipment &c to last beyond my lifetime.
its too bad if someone googles " is film superior" they will get a thread full of posts complaining about digital, instead of bragging how
film might or might not be a better medium ...

Spring Knowledge
Flat spring - this type is made of a flat or conical shaped piece of metal. Flat springs are flat strips of material that, when deflected by an external load, store and release energy. Flat spring are actually small, stamped metal components that function like a spring by controlling deflection within small or restricted spaces. Flat springsare usually manufactured from high carbon spring steel, nickel-silver, high-nickel alloys, stainless steel, and phosphor-bronze and beryllium-copper combinations
The mold springs have high static, high shock loads, maximal cycle life. Different color has different compression functions.
The mould springs of rectangular section are widely used in the punching moulds, metal die-casting moulds, plastic injection moulds and mechanical equipment with rigid structure. Made of good steel, these products have features of high elasticity and high precision.
Extension springs are closed wound wire springs that extend as a result of a pulling force. The majority of extension springs are manufactured with various types of hooks and loops which is a result of the spring application. We can design and manufacture any type of loop or hook that best suits the desired application of the spring.
A compression spring is an open wound helical wire spring that exerts some type of load or force when it is compressed. Compression springs have many applications and can be manufactured in numerous shapes including: cylindrical, conical, barrel shaped, hour glass shaped and concave. These compression springs can be made with or without variable spacing between coils.
Torsion and double torsion springs are helical wire springs that exert a torque or rotary force and are subject to bending stress. Torsion springs have a variety of different ends which are manufactured in conjunction with the design application of the spring. We can help design, modify, and manufacture any torsion and double to your specifications.
Wire Spring is including compression spring, torsion spring and extension spring. Round wire spring can store more energy than rectangular wire spring.
Wire springs come in a wide variety of diameters, shapes and materials, but often times a rare hard to find spring is required to complete a project. When a unique project requirement is needed, it is necessary to turn to a custom metal forming company. A custom metal manufacturer is able to turn a concept into reality, producing a spring to the exact specifications of a customer with limitless sizes and configurations.FoShan Top-Summit hardware&spring Co.Ltd specializes in manufacturing difficult wire spring assemblies that many other companies would not touch.

Social media brand says the number of sites using "Like" and "Recommend" buttons has doubled in the last two weeks. WashingtonPost.com's referral traffic has jumped by 290 percent.
One-hundred-thousand Web sites have implemented Facebook's social plug-ins since they were introduced three weeks ago, according to a post on the social site's blog earlier today. The report comes less than two weeks since the Palo Alto, CA-based company stated that 50,000 sites had installed the plug-ins, such as the "Like" and "Recommend" buttons.
Facebook's post on Tuesday centered on a range of name brands that have supposedly seen big upticks in Facebook referral traffic. Not surprisingly, many of the standouts were publishers.
Here are the four most noteworthy brands mentioned in the blog:
- WashingtonPost.com's traffic from Facebook skyrocketed by 290 percent.
- NHL.com and Canadian newspaper Globe and Mail saw an 80 percent traffic lift, respectively.
- IMDb.com generated more than 350,000 hits of the Like button.
Meanwhile, some early adapters are syncing up their marketing systems to access and leverage Facebook user data. The ways in which they are addressing data access can be broken into three main levels.
Instant Personalization: Facebook's select partners Pandora, Yelp, and Microsoft's Docs.com have been serving first-time and repeat visitors personalized experiences based on their profile data - if they arrive logged into the social site. As one example, a visitor's Facebook friends who are also registered Yelp users will appear when that person goes to Yelp.com - even if the friends are offline. The friends' profile pictures from their account at the restaurant reviews site appear underneath copy that's meant to drive site registration: "Hey, 7 of your friends have joined Yelp."
Social plug-ins + "Login with Facebook": Some of the data that can be accessed via Instant Personalization is also available to non-partners using the plug-ins and "Login with Facebook." This includes always public Facebook profile elements like name, profile photo, gender, and current city - along with other set-to-public information. Facebook has its privacy default controls set to opt-in. Therefore, "set to public" is predicated on a user not opting out of the privacy control settings "Everyone," "Only Friends," and "Friends of Friends," in favor of giving no public access through the "Customize" module. If settings aren't changed via the Customize module, personal information, such as Likes/interests, birthday, and education/work, can be accessed by a site for that individual, as well as his or her friends' information that's set to one of the three public settings seen above.
Companies such as Levi's are employing social plug-ins in conjunction with "Login with Facebook," which is similar to the two-year-old Facebook Connect in terms of how it bridges the gap between sites and Facebook. "Login with Facebook" appears to be lucrative because it can facilitate data from the Like button when that data is set to public.
So when users visit Levi.com while logged into Facebook and enter the jeans company's "Friends Store," they will see their Facebook friends' upcoming birthdays - along with their names and profile pictures - unless those individuals have customized the birthday setting in their privacy controls. Any site - no matter how big or small the company behind it - can leverage this data access for their marketing purposes.
"It's just a few lines of code," said Malorie Lucich, spokesperson for Facebook. "It's what Facebook Connect was. It's logging into another site with your Facebook credentials."
Social plug-ins only: Most of the 50,000 sites fall into this category, Lucich said. Sites like WashingtonPost.com - as well as bloggers and other small sites - have incorporated the plug-ins to increase traffic, but aren't using "Login with Facebook," she said. In short, visitors to those sites - who arrive while logged onto Facebook - can click "Like" buttons to express themselves. Their "Likes" appear on the third-party site and in their activity feeds at Facebook.com, while they also can view what friends are "Liking" or "Recommending."
"So when I go to WashingtonPost.com, I'll see the articles my friends are sharing and also the most popular articles on the site based on what other people are 'Liking,'" Lucich explained. "And The Washington Post doesn't get any of that data. They just get aggregate anonymous data because they don't have a 'Login with Facebook' button....They don't see our user IDs, but they can see a bunch of people 'Liked' an article."

The Summit County Medical Examiner's Office and New Franklin police are investigating what appears to be a homicide-suicide.
The man and woman are being identified as 56 year-old retired Akron fire captain David Ware and his wife, 52 year-old Teresa Ware.
David Ware just retired from the Akron Fire Department after over 30 years. He was also a long-time instructor at Cleveland State University's Center for Emergency Preparedness.
Teresa Ware drove a van for special needs kids at Akron Public Schools since 2008. School offficials say she had been hospitalized for about two weeks and was on extended medical leave.
New Franklin police went to the home on Canterbury Drive at just after nine this morning for a welfare check, and found the couple dead with apparent gunshot wounds.
Police are checking the gun found at the scene.
(Earlier coverage) The Summit County Medical Examiner's Office and New Franklin police are investigating what appears to be a homicide-suicide.
New Franklin police were checking on a couple on Canterbury Drive Thursday night and found them dead.
The 56-year old man and 52-year old woman apparently were killed by gunfire.
Sources tell NewsChannel 5 that one of the victims is a retired Akron fire captain.
The victim's identities have not been released.
On the web: www.newsnet5.com
The daughter of a slain New Franklin couple has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for trafficking in cocaine. Summit County Court of Common Pleas Judge Christine Croce also gave 19-year-old Chelsea Schobert a $5,000 mandatory fine.
Chelsea is the daughter of Jeffrey and Margaret Schobert who were bludgeoned to death in their New Franklin home in April of 2013. Chelsea's boyfriend at the time, 19-year old Eric Ford Jr., is charged with her parent's murder along with a juvenile from Akron.
Previous Coverage:
New Franklin firefighters battled a house fire Christmas morning.
Fire officials arrived at the house in the 6100 block of Renninger Road and found a a fire involving an attached two-car garage which extended into the attic.
Fire investigators determined that the fire was caused by hot materials that were discarded into a trash can next to the house.
The fire was contained to the garage, but the house sustained light smoke damage. Damage to the structure and contents is estimated to be $10,000.
Firefighters from the Village of Clinton assisted the New Franklin Fire Department.
A fireplace is to blame for a house fire in New Franklin Tuesday.
New Franklin firefighters were called to the home in the 1400 block of Linger Drive shortly before 5:30 p.m.
A neighbor alerted residents inside the home of the fire and all five people were able to escape. No injuries were reported.
Crews arrived within six minutes to find heavy fire involving the exterior wall and the attic of the structure.
The blaze caused around $100,000 of damage to the home including water and smoke damage to the structure.
Fire investigators determined the fire was caused by heat from a fireplace inside the house.
Firefighters from Clinton, Coventry Township, Canal Fulton, Lawrence Township and Jackson Township helped battle the blaze.
New Franklin fire officials are reminding residents to clean and inspect their chimneys annually.
One of the men charged in the killing a New Franklin couple earlier this year will have a full competency hearing.
The Beacon Journal reports Shawn Eric Ford Jr. didn't accept the accuracy of competency reports done by two psychologists, including one chosen by the defense. That means both of them will be in court on October 28 to testify.
Common Pleas Judge Tom Parker said he has no questions about whether Ford is fit to stand trial, but recognized that he has a right to a hearing.
Ford pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity in June to a long list of charges surrounding the April deaths of Jeffrey and Margaret "Peg" Schobert. His co-defendant, 14-year-old Jamal Vaughn, is being tried in the juvenile court system.
On the Web: www.ohio.com
A judge ruled Tuesday that there is enough evidence against the juvenile accused of playing a role in the April deaths of a New Franklin couple to transfer his case to adult court.
But The Beacon Journal reports Ohio law requires another hearing be held to determine whether 14-year-old Jamal Vaughn can be properly rehabilitated in the juvenile justice system.
Vaughn, who had just turned 14 at the time of the murders, is accused of being an accomplice to 18-year-old Shawn Ford in the beating deaths of Jeffrey and Margaret "Peg" Schobert with a sledgehammer on April 2. Ford faces capital murder charges as well as charges stemming from his alleged assault of the Schoberts' daughter Chelsea, with whom he had a relationship.
Even if convicted in adult court, Vaughn cannot face the death penalty because of his age.
Assistant Summit County Prosecutor Robert Capes said during the hearing that Vaughn stabbed Jeffrey Schobert, though an autopsy revealed the cause of both deaths was blunt impact to the head. Dr. Dorothy Dean, the forensic pathologist who performed the autopsies, said the stab wounds did not contribute to Jeffrey Schobert's death. Vaughn told investigators Ford threatened him into helping him carry out the killings.
The date for the second hearing hasn't been set.
On the Web: www.ohio.com
A natural gas line blew out Monday morning in New Franklin near the intersection of Nimisilla Rd. and Dailey Rd.
Many area residents told AkronNewsNow it happened around 6:20 a.m. and sounded like a loud explosion or an airplane crashing.
Dominion East Ohio spokeswoman Tracy Oliver said the ruptured line serves a nearby storage well.
New Franklin Mayor Al Bollas told WONE's Jeff Kinzbach In The Morning the line released a large amount of natural gas. He said there was no fire or explosion and that the well has been shut off.
Crews were evacuating residents, but the evacuation order has been lifted. Dominion East Ohio is investigating the rupture, but has no word yet on damages or a timetable for repairing the line.
There will be a funeral instead of a sentencing hearing in a local rape case.
NewsChannel 5 reports Richard H. Schilling died in a farming accident Tuesday in New Franklin at the age of 74.
He was set for sentencing next week after he pleaded guilty to raping a 10-year-old. Schilling originally pleaded not guilty.
Police are still investigating the accident.
On the Web: www.newsnet5.com
The man accused of killing a New Franklin couple in April will be evaluated to find out if he's competent to stand trial.
The Beacon Journal reports a judge ordered forensic psychologist Dr. Robert L. Byrnes to check Shawn Eric Ford Jr. to make sure he can understand the court proceedings and that he can help in his own defense. The evaluation will take place within the next month.
If Ford's found incompetent, he will be sent for rehabilitation.
Ford is accused of killing Jeffrey and Margaret Schobert inside their bedroom on April 2. He faces the death penalty if he's convicted.
On the Web: www.ohio.com
The Summit County Sheriff's Department confirmed a driver reported seeing a large brown bear early Thursday morning in New Franklin.
The driver told deputies he spotted the bear around 1:45 this morning.
The animal was seen in the area of South Main Street and West Nimisila Road. Sheriff's deputies arrived to the scene and did not locate the bear.

News has just come in that 3 hot new Femdom Fm spanking videos have been released for purchase as digital downloads and DVD's at FemDom Spanking Store and streaming video at Domination Theater!
The movies include the Hungarian beauties Miss Viktoria and Miss Antscha each independently in their own films. And from Retrobution Video is a brand new movie entitled Revenge is Sweet. Retrobution are always an interesting provider as they give a retro feel to their videos which are very unique and thoughtful!
Anyway See details of the movies below!
Miss Antscha (Institute of Feminine Discipline) : Vodka Not Allowed.
Walking into the Overseers Common Room Miss Antscha the duty Overseer is shocked to find one male creature Arjun relaxing on the Overseers furniture drinking vodka!
Not only are males forbidden to drink alcohol in the 10 Commandments laid down by the Board of Corrective Women but all male creatures are prohibited from entering the Overseers Common Room without having been instructed to enter by a Female Overseer at the Institute! Usually this would only occur if all offices are in use or the Overseer does not wish to go to an office to punish one of the boys only to have to return to the common room for a break later as was the case with Miss Amy on one ocasion. Regardless of the reason for male presence, it must NEVER be present without Female authorisation and presence without that Female command is a spankable offence!
In any event Arjun must clearly now be spanked for breaking a Board of Corrective Women commandment and this must be reported up the chain for further consideration as to whether the punishment was adaquate!
Note: This video is in High Definition (HD) Format.
See Video as DVD or Digital Download at FemDom Spanking Store
See Video at Domination Theater.
Retrobution Video: Revenge is Sweet

Miss Viktoria (Strict Women): He Wanked Over Her Silk Sheets
As Miss Viktoria inspects the bedroom and bed she discovers cum stains from male masturbation on her brand new white silk sheets. Our beautiful Czech Goddess angrilly summons lackie husband Alexis demanding an explanaiton as to what the stains are, why they are there and why he had not first asked for her permission to masturbate as he knows he must.
Adam demies that this is what he has been doing and blames the stains on drips in the night but Miss Viktoria is having none of it! Bending him over the bed and then over her knee Miss Viktoria administers a very good spanking to Alexis for his disobedience and lack of consideration for his Goddess.
You can rest assured that Miss Antschas hand spanking worked wonders on Alexis but if it in any way failed to do so then the hairbrush spanking and paddlng certainly would!

The Wiener-Ikehara theorem by complex analysis
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: The Tauberian theorem of Wiener and Ikehara provides the most direct way to the prime number theorem. Here it is shown how Newman's contour integration method can be adapted to establish the Wiener-Ikehara theorem. A simple special case suffices for the PNT. But what about the twin-prime problem?

Steven Johnson talked about his book The Ghost Map: The Story of London's Most Terrifying Epidemic and How it Changed Science, Cities, and the Modern World, published by Riverhead. The "ghost map" refers to a map of a city neighborhood created by pioneering British doctor John Snow in 1854. Graphically marking deaths from a cholera epidemic, the map helped pinpoint the source of the disease outbreak and eventually led to reforms in city sanitation and a better understanding of water-borne illnesses. After his presentation, Mr. Johnson answered questions from members of the audience. close

This was my first attempt at sculpting cake, the design was from Debbie Brown. I had only done a few cakes before this one but it was a good learning experience. The words were off center, but over all I think it came out ok. The cake was chocolate with buttercream, covered with fondant.

hahah, no offense taken. i appreciate the feedback!
The Mugen tee is inspired from one of my favorite animes, Samurai Champloo. In the opening of their song they say 'way of the samurai' which I thought went well with the Mugen symbol, which is also a reference to one of the episodes. Regardless if anyone got the reference I still hope people dig it.
From the graffiti episode, right?
diggin it. can I get a shirt right now? pm me
very nice brand, you ship internationally?
Keep it up i see the Samurai Champloo influence personally i like the warrior division tee. Its all in how you guys want to creatively execute your inspirations you can give some ideas your own spin to it..its all in how you do that. Keep it up though..try to set yourselves apart from other brands that may have a similar look. as an initial release though nice job..
I would get the warrior tee if i had the funds..

What is the best way to implement the following scenario?
I need to call/query a data base table containing millions of records from a java application. Then for each records in the table, my application should call a third party API and get a status field as response. Then my application should again update each row in the table with the information (status) from the API.
Note - I am trying to figure out a method to do this in the best possible way. I understand that querying all the records together is not the best way forward.

India's Bishops Praise U.S. Proposal on Castes
Resolution Decries Plight of Untouchables
| 1582 hits
MUMBAI, India, MAY 15, 2007, Zenit.org - The bishops of India welcomed a resolution placed before the U.S. Congress that asked the lawmaking body to encourage an end to India's caste system.
Republican Congressman Trent Franks of Arizona introduced the resolution May 2. In his presentation he called on "the Indian government and the world community to look with compassion upon India's untouchables and reach out to one of the most oppressed peoples on earth.''
In his address to the members of Congress, Franks called the caste system an "abhorrent form of persecution and segregation" that is particularly harsh on India's Dalits -- members of the "untouchable" caste -- especially Dalit women.
"This Congress," Franks argued, "must urge an end to the social discrimination and injustice faced by the nearly 250 million people known as Dalits in India."
Franks told ZENIT why he brought this issue to light now: "The plight of the 'untouchables' in India is truly one of the most critical human rights issues of our time.
"Millions of these individuals are regarded as less than human and live in some of the most wretched conditions known to humanity.
"We are compelled by the unalienable truth that all men are created equal to contend for the rights of the poor and the oppressed, and it is to that end that I have and will continue to stress the urgency of the Dalits' cause to Congress and to the world."
Indian response
Although the resolution has not been adopted, AsiaNews reported that the Catholic bishops' conference of India expressed its gratitude that the issue was brought to public attention.
Father Arokiaraj Cosmon, the executive secretary of the episcopal commission on Dalits, explained the tragic nature of the caste system, highlighted in the resolution.
"Dalits' conditions are well-known both at home and abroad," the priest said. "They are economically and socially ostracized, denied equal access to education and political life.
"Out of 250 million of them, there are 16 million who are twice as penalized because they are Christian."
"Most violence visited upon Dalits affects women," Father Cosmon continued. "They cannot report crimes, especially sex crimes, or ask for police assistance because what they say is not taken into consideration.
"Most lawyers and police officers come from the upper castes and are not well disposed towards victims."
Still, Father Cosmon insisted that education could aid the plight of the untouchables: "While Dalit women are the most vulnerable group in society, if they can get an education and become aware of their rights, they will be better placed to educate their entire family and contribute to the necessary social and economic empowerment of all Dalits."

HKR faces more strife over Arcadia scheme
In August the practice, which is leading the project for developer Glenkerrin, was left reeling when Foster + Partners was parachuted in to redesign the tower at the heart of the proposals (AJ 16.08.07).
Now the design watchdog, reviewing the scheme for a second time, has thrown the spotlight on the rest of the development – a series of low-rise blocks currently in the hands of HKR and John Pardey Architects.

Hello Again, Mr President: Justin Webster Meets Hugo Chavez, the In-out-In Ruler of Venezuela, and Finds He Still Fears for His Life. and with His Army Opponents Saying He Is Supported by a Layer of Thin Air, He Has Every Reason to Worry. (Features)
Webster, Justin, New Statesman (1996)
Heightened security around Hugo Chavez, the maverick president of Venezuela, is just one hint of the fragility of his grip on power, despite his dramatic and popular reinstatement a month after the military coup that ousted him from government.
Chavez is convinced that he had a narrow escape from death during the coup on 11 April, which left 17 Venezuelans dead on the streets. And he believes there are still plots afoot to assassinate him.
"In those moments when I was captive, out of contact, taken at night to an inhospitable place by the sea, I thought they were going to kill me. There are people who want to kill me, and I thought this was their opportunity," he confided later.
But when, after days of waiting and last-minute changes to our interview plans, I eventually meet Chavez at his official home, it is impossible to guess from his cheerful, confident manner that he still faces determined opposition, and even hatred, from influential sectors of Venezuelan society and the international community.
Allegations of Chavez's friendliness with left-wing guerrillas in neighbouring Colombia, just as the United States is committing fresh funds to the fight against terrorism there, as well as his cordial relations with Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi, have made him particularly distrusted in Washington. Immediately after the coup crumbled and Chavez unexpectedly emerged from captivity to resume power, the US national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, sent a blunt message of disapproval.
"I hope he takes advantage of this opportunity to right his own ship, which has been moving in the wrong direction, frankly, for quite a long time," she said.
Instead of appearing suitably chastened, Chavez is demanding that the Bush administration revise its view of him as the menace of the Americas: "They have been manipulated in Washington. They are the victims of lies. I hope that, after all that has happened, Washington, too, will realise that those who believe that I support the Colombian guerrillas, or that I support terrorism, are completely mistaken."
Chavez is clearly aware that his best weapon against American pressure is the embarrassing haste with which Washington was prepared to recognise an undemocratic government created by an old-fashioned military coup.
"There are at least two elements that I think it is very important to clarify to the world. First, I have proof that two officials of the United States armed forces were in the building with the coup leaders during the crucial hours on at least one occasion. I have the names of the two officials on record, at what time they went in and with whom they talked. This must be clarified," he says.
He also claims to have satellite pictures of a warship and a military helicopter inside Venezuelan waters, as well as images of two military aeroplanes which flew over Venezuelan airspace from the north. The US State Department has denied any part in the overthrow but, at the very least, it was on amicable terms with its orchestrators.
Much more of a threat than the Americans, however, are Chavez's sworn enemies at home. Rear Admiral Carlos Molina, a rising member of the military establishment, continues to predict his imminent fall. Despite facing charges for his involvement in the coup, Molina has called on Chavez to step down in order to prevent the country from sliding into civil war. …

- Persistent physical symptoms that do not respond to treatment, such as headaches, digestive disorders, and chronic pain
- Persistently sad, anxious, or "empty" moods
- Restlessness, irritability
- Thoughts of death or suicide, suicide attempts
What Are the Signs of Mania With Bipolar Disorder?
The signs of mania with bipolar disorder include:
- Disconnected and very fast (racing) thoughts
- Grandiose beliefs
- Inappropriate elation or euphoria
- Inappropriate irritability
- Inappropriate social behavior
- Increased sexual desire
- Increased talking speed or volume
- Markedly increased energy
- Poor judgment
- A decreased need for sleep due to high energy
What Is Bipolar II Disorder?
While mania is the main characteristic of bipolar I disorder, bipolar II has milder periods of elation known as hypomania. It also has episodes of mild or major depression. According to the DSM-5, the diagnostic manual published by the American Psychiatric Association, the difference between mania and hypomania is "the degree of severity" as well as an absence of psychosis (delusions or hallucinations) in hypomania and no negative impact from "high" symptoms in work and social functioning,
What Are Signs of Hypomania With Bipolar II Disorder?
Signs of hypomania with bipolar II disorder include:
- Decreased need for sleep
- Extreme focus on projects at work or at home
- Exuberant and elated mood
- Increased confidence
- Increased creativity and productivity
- Increased energy and libido
- Reckless behaviors
- Risky pleasure-seeking behaviors
How Is Bipolar Disorder Diagnosed?
As with most mood disorders, there is no laboratory test or X-ray to diagnose bipolar disorder. After performing a physical exam, your doctor will evaluate your signs and symptoms. Your doctor will also ask you about your personal medical history and family history. Lab tests may be done to rule out other serious illnesses that can affect mood.
In addition, your doctor may want to talk with family members to see if they can identify times when you were elated. Because elation may feel good or even normal when compared to depression, it's often hard for a person with bipolar disorder to know if the mood was too high. Mania often affects thinking, judgment, and social behavior in ways that cause serious problems and embarrassment. For example, unwise business or financial decisions may be made when an individual is in a manic phase. So early diagnosis and effective treatment is very important with bipolar disorder.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Ryan Raburn has done almost nothing this season. Jim Leyland says he still believes Raburn can do something.
Leyland put the right-handed Raburn in the lineup Saturday night against Angels left-hander C.J. Wilson. It was Raburn's first start since late July; he spent most of August on the disabled list.
The Tigers manager also said Raburn could start against the two or three left-handers the White Sox will use in the series that starts Monday in Chicago. ...

The 2012 French Presidential Elections
The Inevitable Alternation
|Publication Date
|November 2013
|Hardcover Ebook (EPUB) Ebook (PDF)
|Palgrave Macmillan
|French Politics, Society and Culture
The 2012 French Presidential elections marked a watershed moment for the French Left, marking their return to a full term of executive power for the first time since 1981. From early in the campaign, the victory of François Hollande appeared inevitable, given the unpopularity of the Right-wing incumbent, Nicolas Sarkozy, and the economic crisis afflicting France. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the lead-up to the Presidential elections, including the political landscape, the candidate selection and the campaign. It looks at how each of the ten candidates set out their policy alternatives, and how the Right in particular failed to present the united front necessary to defeat a coherent Left challenge. It also examines the events and outcomes of the subsequent legislative elections, to understand whether these constituency elections now represent anything more than an early plebiscite for the newly elected president.

IEEE Medal for Engineering Excellence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The IEEE Medal for Engineering Excellence was an award presented by the IEEE to recognize exceptional achievements in application engineering in the technical disciplines of the IEEE, for the benefit of the public and the engineering profession. The medal was awarded to an individual or a group of up to three people. It was established by the IEEE Board of Directors in 1986 and was last awarded in 2004.
Recipients of this medal received a gold medal, bronze replica, certificate and honorarium.
This award was discontinued in November 2009.

The spec describes a behavior for background-attachment:fixed where the transformed element behaves as if it were a "porthole" through which the fixed background shows.
This is tricky, but implementable for 2D transforms, but very difficult for implementors of 3D transforms.
We may wish to punt and just say that any background-attachment:fixed on an element that is transformed, or has a transformed container, behaves like background-attachment:scroll.
I'm okay with this if implementers agree. What do other implementers think? If it's easy for some implementers but not others, and if we agree that the proposed behavior is a punt and not really correct, I'd say we should leave the spec more "correct" for now even though we know not all implementations will be able to make it -- much like for intersections.
Another option is to say that you draw the same piece of background as though there were no transforms, and then you transform it.
Created attachment 1145 [details]
IE10 Release Preview does what David suggests i.e.:
1. Render the fixed background as if there were no transform
2. Transform the result from #1
As a result:
- Subsequent adjustments to the position of the element preserves the 'porthole'-like behavior of background-attachment:fixed i.e. as the element moves around its background continues to adjust
- But any transform applied to the element applies to the rendering of the fixed background within that element.
(In reply to comment #2)
> Another option is to say that you draw the same piece of background as though
> there were no transforms, and then you transform it.
This is also what we already do (although we don't get the invalidation right when scrolling), and it's our preference as well.
Proposal at <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Jun/0635.html>
Consensus is to follow my proposal.
One final question: for an element with a transform or transformed ancestor, what's the computed value for background-attachment, if the specified value is 'fixed'?
Leaving bug open for the computed style issue.
My inclination is that it's better for the computed value not to change (i.e., still be 'fixed' even if it won't actually be fixed).
I would also background-attachment's computed value to remain 'fixed' in thie case; the property's computed value is 'as specified' and I'd rather leave it that way. We're only changing the used value.
*** Bug 19636 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
We resolved that the computed values are not affected.
Do we need to state this on the spec?
What about this sentence at the end of the paragraph, right before the issue text: "The computed style of 'background-attached' is not affected." If it is ok, I go ahead and do the change.
The same issue applies to transform-style when combined with opacity. I think it's fine to say that the computed value of the property is not affected.
Fixed after 177d757a1f34.

The York County Literacy Council needs people who are willing to learn how to change another person's life.
The council has a waiting list of 41 people who want to improve their reading, writing and speaking skills, said Rita Hewitt, the agency's community relations manager.
Tutors are needed to teach them, she said.
The volunteer tutors would meet with a student once a week for up to two hours in a public setting arranged by the literacy council.
Training: The council will hold two Saturday tutor training sessions from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 10 and May 17 at its facility at 800 E. King St. in York City. Attendance at both sessions is required to become a tutor.
Tutors must be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma or an equivalent, though they do not need a background in education, Hewitt said.
"They must be patient and sensitive to a person's needs and student skills," she said. "They should make sure they're reliable. They need to be willing to report information back to us. We track our tutor hours."
The literacy council has 200 tutors. Last year, they served close to 1,000 students ages 18 and up, Hewitt said.
There are about 40,000 functionally illiterate adults in the county, she said.
Life change: The council frequently receives calls from people who want to become literacy students, Hewitt said.
"These are people who want to make a change in their life, but they need help," she said. "They can't do it alone. They want to learn English, learn to read and write and speak. They're really interested in learning and they're ready to work hard at it."
Several of the council's students are high school dropouts who want to improve their literacy and communication skills and earn their GEDs, while others are high school graduates who still don't know how to read, Hewitt said.
The council also serves students who come to York County from around the world.
"They gave up the careers they had in other countries to come to America for a better life," Hewitt said. "Now they want to learn our language, learn how to speak and write. Then they'll go on to get more education and training so they can pursue careers in America."
Tutors must be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma or an equivalent. They do not need a background in education.
To attend the training sessions, call 845-8719 or email Rita Hewitt at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Re: Abrams: Star Wars AND Star Trek
As far as I knew in those days three people in the world were watching
Star Trek
and we all sat at the same lunch table.

Plus, the studios occasionally dabbled in A-list "prestige" science fiction pictures beyond Forbidden Planet. I'm thinking films like 2001, The Andromeda Strain, Fahrenheit 451, The Illustrated Man, Silent Running, Planet of the Apes, The Omega Man, Soylent Green, and maybe even Logan's Run.
Yeah, they "dabbled," as you say - but if you look at most of those projects they had some mainstream or conventional points of interest. They didn't get made because anyone thought that there was an under served science fiction audience out here.
Forbidden Planet
, as I said, was a movie that seemed to have no
raison d'etre
whatever other than to make an expensive science fiction film for its own sake; that's why it stands out as remarkable.
The Andromeda Strain
was based on and leveraged a best-selling thriller by Michael Crichton. No Ace Double stocked back in the sf paperback section; everyone knew what that movie was before the cameras rolled. Most reviewers never used the term "science fiction" for the novel and it wasn't packaged or marketed as genre sf, somewhat to the annoyance of some folks in the sf community (a common complaint throughout the Seventies among skiffy writers and fans would be authors who were "clearly writing sf" but eschewed the sobriquet of "science fiction writer" and the category itself. Kurt Vonnegut was the Devil himself to these guys).
- A-list director driving the project. What do
Soylent Green
The Omega Man
Planet Of The Apes
have in common? A certain A-lister fascinated with this stuff who made them marketable to a presumably mainstream audience (by contrast Walter Pidgeon was the most well-known actor in
Forbidden Planet
and his glory days were behind him; he was actually doing
at the time, that undiscovered country from whose bourn no actor returned).
Fahrenheit 451
- low budget European film.
The Illustrated Man
- sadly, a bomb.
The most interesting movie in that list to me, in this context, is
Logan's Run.
In 1975 the one media-savvy, movie-obsessed guy in the U of MD. Science Fiction Society was telling us that the industry thinking was that science fiction was, finally, going to be the Next Big Thing and that a movie coming out next year,
Logan's Run
, was the horse they were betting on. It would be the break-out hit that would launch the surge.
The wrong movie and a year early. Still, someone out there was on to something at last.

Medievalist.net found this story about some incredibly neat evidence of eyeglass use from a medieval manuscript. No, it wasn't a mention in the manuscript: it was on the manuscript. Witness:
Someone placed their eyeglasses, most likely leather-framed spectacles, inside the flyleaf, closed the book, and then went off and forgot about them or got killed by Huns or something. It's like a coffee ring, only made by leather eyeglasses.
They might have looked something like this:
That's some cutting edge technology, right there: world-changing, in fact, and quite beautiful. Here's what the discoverer of the evidence deduced:
Advanced scientific methods for dating aside, we can get a good estimate of the age of the eyeglasses that left the impression on the parchment by first examining the script on the parchment (to establish the earliest possible date) and then by looking at the shape of the impression itself. The text is what is known as Southern Textualis or Rotunda. Southern Textualis was popular in Italy and Southern Europe between the late 1200s and the late 1400s. Alternately, the 1568 publication of the printed text provides us with a possible later date. Regardless, the spectacles conform to the physical features and rough time period for early medieval leather-framed spectacles. But dare we hope for more? Because the book was printed in Venice, Italy, the tantalizing possibility exists that the wearer who deposited his spectacles in between the parchment leaves may have been using a pair of the earliest eyeglasses ever made, because Florence, where eyeglasses were invented, is less than 165 miles from Venice. Although we may never know exactly how (or when) these spectacles left their mark on the parchment, their faint impressions nevertheless offer an intriguing glimpse into the early history this important invention.

Mashed Garlicky Potatoes with Portobello Gravy
From EatingWell: Fall 2003, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)
The creamy texture of these mashed potatoes is achieved without using cream or milk. The secret is to use the cooking liquid to moisten the puree, adding just a small amount of butter or olive oil to provide a luxurious finish. Top them with this rich gravy that can be made with fresh shiitakes as well as portobellos. Leave the mushroom pieces in for a chunky-style sauce or strain them out for a velvety consistency.
Makes: 8 servings, about 3/4 cup each

- 3 1/4 pounds russet potatoes, (4-5 large), peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 4 large cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons butter, or extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
This recipe calls for:
- Make Portobello Gravy.
- Place potatoes and garlic in a large pot, cover with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over medium heat until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, reserving cooking liquid.
- Return the potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add butter (or oil). Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, adding 1/2 to 1 cup of the reserved liquid to make a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a warmed serving bowl and serve with Portobello Gravy. Portobello Gravy Active time: 10 minutes | Total: 30 minutes 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium onion, finely chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 1/2 cups chopped cleaned portobello mushrooms (2 medium) 2 1/4 cups vegetable broth (see Ingredient note) 3 tablespoons tamari or reduced-sodium soy sauce 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves 1/8 teaspoon crumbled dried sage 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 tablespoons water Freshly ground pepper to taste
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they begin to release their juices, about 10 minutes.
- Add broth, tamari (or soy sauce), thyme and sage; simmer for 10 minutes. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Stir into the sauce and simmer, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes more. Season with pepper. If you prefer a smooth gravy, pass it through a fine sieve (discard mushrooms and onions). Serve hot. Makes 2 cups chunky gravy or 1 cup smooth gravy, for 8 servings.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Keep the potatoes hot, covered with parchment or wax paper, over a pan of barely simmering water for up to 1 hour.
- Ingredient note: Commercial vegetable broth is readily available in natural-foods stores and many supermarkets. We especially like the Imagine and Pacific brands, sold in convenient aseptic packages that allow you to use small amounts and keep the rest refrigerated.

Itron, Inc.
) has launched a new thermal energy meter - The Itron
CF-UltraMaxx V meter that will facilitate utilities to measure
energy accurately in heating and cooling systems as well as
provide data about usage patterns.
This new meter is available in capsule or in inline versions
and is easy to install. It is capable of measuring very high and
low energy flow for residential areas. Equipped with advanced
smart metering features, the meter can provide detailed
information about the operation of heating and cooling systems
over a time period, including flow rate, volume, consumption and
tariffs. It has flexible communications options and can be
customized to meet both customers' specifications as well the
area where the meter is to be installed.
Furthermore, the meter offers two major innovations - a unique
removable calculator that can be fixed on the meter in any
position and a patented sensor sealing. The calculator ensures a
high level of readability and the sensor sealing protects the
meter against fraud.
Given its operating range, accuracy, flexibility, long
life-expectancy, this new thermal energy meter is an exciting new
offering for Itron's customers and will provide an edge over the
other thermal energy meters available in the market.
Itron's third quarter 2012 adjusted earnings were 97 cents per
share compared with 92 cents in the year-earlier quarter.
Adjusted earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 94
cents per share. Total revenues during the quarter fell 18.1% to
$504.1 million, lagging behind the Zacks Consensus Estimate of
$525 million.
The company is undertaking restructuring initiatives to
increase its efficiency and lower manufacturing costs. It
anticipates annualized cost savings of $15 million in 2012, which
is expected to further increase to $30 million in 2013.
But at the same time, Itron expects to book associated pre-tax
charges in the range of $75-$80 million, a major portion of which
will be incurred in the fourth quarter of 202. Therefore, higher
operating expenses are likely to create margin headwinds in
fiscal 2012 and first half of 2013. Moreover, the competition of
the OpenWay projects is expected to impact revenues negatively in
the next three quarters.
Itron currently retains a short-term Zacks Rank #4. (Sell).
