AMMAN — Representatives of national tickets competing in this Wednesday's parliamentary elections believe social media enables them to reach out to a wider audience at no cost, but experts said these tools would only pay dividends on election day if used intelligently.
"Social media networks such as Facebook made our work much easier in communicating with people and reaching out to them," Zeid Majali, from the Justice and Development List, told The Jordan Times on Sunday.
"We resorted to Facebook because we were able to promote our ticket for free," Majali said, adding that the network particularly helped the list reach out to young voters who do not read newspapers.
By Sunday, there were 2.579 million Facebook users in Jordan, according to www.checkfacebook.com. Of the total, 58.1 per cent are male and 41.2 per cent, or over one million users, are between 18 and 24 years old.
There are also about 60,000 Twitter users in Jordan, according to social media experts.
National ticket candidates are competing nationwide for 27 seats out of a total of 150 Lower House seats.
The Elections Law gives each voter two votes: one for a national ticket and another for a candidate in the local constituency.
Haitham Abbadi, a candidate from the Sawt Al Watan (voice of the nation) List, said his ticket was using social media tools for the same reasons as Majali's.
"Using Facebook is faster, cheaper and more effective than traditional media," he said.
"Facebook is a major tool for us, especially as the majority of our 12-member list are holders of PhDs in information technology."
Saed Al Blewi, representing Al Fajr (the dawn) List, said that he and his running mates had created a Facebook page a year ago, before the Elections Law was endorsed, as an exploratory tool to decide whether to run.
"After seeing the interaction with young people on our Facebook page and their enthusiasm to vote for us, we decided to run. We have great expectations and I do not think I would have run without seeing this support," Blewi noted.
Experts, however, said it was too early to measure the impact of social media on the polls and warned that just because a candidate or party has the most Facebook fans does not necessarily mean they will get the most votes on election day.
"It is not about how many fans one list or another has. Candidates should not only use social media sites for promoting themselves; they should engage in serious discussions with people on major issues and challenges facing the country and interact with them," Abed Shamlawi, CEO of the ICT Association of Jordan, told the Jordan Times on Sunday.
"Using social media such as Facebook is certainly a great free tool for candidates to reach out to a larger audience, but they need to use these tools intelligently. If candidates take their fans on Facebook pages seriously, address their concerns and questions, and constantly update their content, then the possibility that their fans will take them seriously and vote for them grows," said Shamlawi.
"Social media has played a major role in the elections in the US," he noted.
Jawad Abbassi, founder and general manager of the Arab Advisers Group, also said social media was a great asset for candidates in Jordan.
"Some candidates running in these elections had never been heard of at all, but when they started to post videos and share their views on Facebook and other channels they became very popular," Abbassi added, without giving examples.
"If candidates use social media properly, they will not need to spend any more money on their campaigns, because if their videos and comments go viral on the web, people themselves will promote them," he added.
Another social media expert, who asked not to be named, was more sceptical about the effectiveness of social media as a campaign tool.
"Social media is great, but I do not think it can greatly affect voter turnout," the expert said.
"Maybe using social media will encourage a few people to go to the polls, especially the younger generation, but family ties and connections in Jordan are still stronger than social media in encouraging people to vote. It will take a while before social networking sites affect voter turnout," he added.

Legal Name: The Scripps Research Institute – Scripps Florida, a division of the non-profit Scripps Research Institute headquartered in La Jolla, California.
Location: 130 Scripps Way, Jupiter, Florida 33458 (in Palm Beach County) just East of Donald Ross Road (exit 83) on I-95. Situated at the east end of the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) MacArthur Honors College Campus in the Abacoa Town Development.
Campus Size: Three buildings comprising 350,000 square feet on 30 acres. An additional 70 acres are available for expansion on the adjacent "Briger" tract of land in the city of Palm Beach Gardens.
Staff: More than 600 people work at Scripps Florida, including 56 faculty.
Scientific Focus: Basic biomedical research supported by cutting-edge technologies, with a focus on innovation in translational research leading to product and methodology discovery and pre-clinical therapeutic development.
Academic Departments: Cancer Biology, Chemistry, Immunology and Microbial Science, Metabolism and Aging, Molecular Therapeutics, Neuroscience.
Graduate Program: Doctoral (PhD) programs are offered in chemical and biological sciences on the Florida campus through The Scripps Research Institute's graduate program.
Important Dates: Founded in 2004. Permanent facilities opened in February 2009.
Affiliations: Scripps Florida is a member of BioFlorida (http://www.bioflorida.com) and The Florida Research Consortium (http://www.floridaresearch.org).
Scripps Florida is an academic research facility with investigators in six of the institute's 15 departments: Cancer Biology, Chemistry, Immunology and Microbial Science, Metabolism and Aging, Molecular Therapeutics, and Neuroscience, as well as the unique Translational Research Institute, which includes the Advanced Technologies and Drug Discovery divisions. While the focus of basic scientific research is to understand the mechanisms that lead to disease and its potential treatment, the Translational Research Institute seeks to identify new biochemical targets for drug development, and to optimize and further develop these drug candidate lead compounds.
Biomedical Research. Like The Scripps Research Institute as a whole, Scripps Florida's scientific departments are focused on finding answers to some of the most critical biomedical questions and, ultimately, to understanding in detail the fundamental processes of life. The overarching goal of this research focus is the development of therapeutic opportunities in several important disease areas. Scripps Florida's research targets include, among others, neurobiology (Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, autism, schizophrenia, anxiety/depression and addiction), cancer biology, immune system studies (asthma, rheumatoid arthritis), cardiovascular and metabolic research (heart disease, diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome), and infectious diseases (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, malaria, tuberculosis, hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS).
Advanced Technologies. Scripps Florida has made a major commitment to the development, acquisition, and expanded use of advanced technologies for the post-genome era of modern biomedical research. The Translational Research Institute combines basic research with advanced technology platforms or "cores" to develop potential lead compounds that can prevent, treat, or cure disease. Those platforms include centers for ultra-high throughput screening, cell based screening, genomics, proteomics, flow cytometry, x-ray diffraction, and nuclear magnetic resonance. These core technology groups work closely with the various academic departments as well as the drug discovery group within the Translational Research Institute to bring advanced technologies to bear on complex biological problems. For example:
Drug Discovery. The objective of the drug discovery group is to translate basic research into potential therapeutics by integrating the work of the biomedical faculty, who provide therapeutic area expertise and in-depth knowledge of target biology, with the advanced technology group that helps enable target validation, assay development and biological models.
The Scripps Research Institute has an international reputation for pioneering research programs to help meet current and emerging biomedical needs. Scripps Research views its Florida campus as an opportunity to expand the scope of its science, to recruit new world-class scientists, and to further establish itself as an international organization for scientific and philanthropic purposes.
Developing a vibrant biotechnology industry is an important part of Florida's continuing efforts to create a diverse, knowledge-based economy, and Scripps Florida has been critical in helping to attract other research, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical companies to the area. Two major research institutions have already opened in south and central Florida, and the world-renowned Max Planck Institute is building its first U.S. subsidiary on a site adjacent to the Scripps Florida facilities in Jupiter.
Start-up costs of Scripps Florida were supported by a one-time $310 million appropriation of federal economic development funds by the Florida State Legislature in 2003, which were paid out (with interest) over a 10-year time period. Palm Beach County provided an economic package that included approximately $187 million for construction of the first phase of the permanent facility on the John D. McArthur campus of FAU in Jupiter, Florida. The facility opened in 2009 and comprises about 350,000 square feet of laboratory and administrative space. An additional 70 acres of land in Palm Beach Gardens was purchased by the county for $16 million and will be available for future expansion.
Scripps Florida is becoming financially self-sufficient through:
As a division of The Scripps Research Institute, Scripps Florida is governed by the institute's president and its Board of Trustees. A Board of Directors governs the Scripps Florida Funding Corporation, a nonprofit corporation created by the Legislature and Governor to receive, hold, invest, administer, and disburse funds appropriated by the legislature for the establishment and operation of Scripps Florida.
The Scripps Florida graduate program, part of The Scripps Research Institute's Kellogg School of Science and Technology, offers a doctoral program with an emphasis on chemistry, chemical biology, biophysics and the biological sciences. The program, first established in 1989, is conducted at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California, and in Jupiter, Florida, simultaneously. Total enrollment is approximately 220 doctoral students from around the world, with 40 currently studying in Jupiter.
For more information, visit our Graduate Program page.
Scripps Florida has well-established seminar, internship, and activity programs for K-12 students and teachers from the Palm Beach County area. In the Kenan Summer Intern program, high school students and teachers work alongside Scripps Florida scientists and receive weekly lectures from its faculty. Offerings at the elementary and middle school levels include "Introduction to Science" and "Wow Chemistry" lessons that excite young people by showing them what the world is made of and how it fits together. "Science Saturday" lessons show high school students how to isolate and fingerprint DNA and provide them an opportunity to observe first hand state-of-the-art bioscience laboratories.
Ph.D. students from the Scripps Research Kellogg School of Science and Technology host panel discussions and laboratory tours for visiting high school classes, sharing information on the process of becoming a scientist.
Scripps Florida also makes available summer institutes offering basic science and advanced laboratory-based instruction for science teachers in Palm Beach County.
Further information is available on the Scripps Florida K-12 Programs page.
Scripps Florida offers substantial opportunities for research and technological collaborations with other research institutions within Florida, the United States. and internationally. Whenever possible, Scripps Florida seeks to develop effective scientific collaborations with research groups from within the state.
For anyone interested in collaboration, a formal collaboration request process has been established. Written proposals are examined by a team of Scripps Florida scientists with the overall goal of generating external funding to support the collaborative activities at both participating institutions. For more information, visit our Access to Technologies home page.
Job openings are posted on the Scripps Research Careers page. Look for those designated for our Florida campus.

Secrets to Getting Pregnant
You Can Overcome Infertility.
Hi, Dr Irina Webster here.
If you are looking for new methods to overcome infertility and become pregnant, then this will be a very important message for you.
You see, I believe that the best way to treat infertility and become
pregnant faster is the right combination of
conventional and alternative medical approaches.
Of course two people are involved in conception so the balance should also include your partner. A man's support, involvement, encouragement and participation are all equally important. It is not all on the woman the man must contribute also.
I started my career as a doctor in a Women's and Children's Hospital more than 15 years ago. It was there that I started my research on infertility and I have continued to do so throughout my working years.
I was always interested in how women can help themselves in order to get pregnant faster and easier. What factors contribute to pregnancy? How to balance medical problems and conditions in order to get pregnant despite them?
My book the "Secrets to Getting Pregnant": you can overcome infertility, is rich in practical information and effective strategies on how to become pregnant if you are having difficulties conceiving.
All the strategies I discussed in the book are easy to understand and use at home. You will not need medical assistance to use them.
Who exactly will benefit from my book Secrets to Getting Pregnant"?
- Women in their 30s and 40s who want to have children.
- Women with "unexplained infertility".
- Women with history of miscarriage.
- Women with PCOS and PCOD.
- Women with Thyroid problems.
- Women with period problems.
Are the strategies safe to use?
- All the strategies discussed in this book are 100% safe and have no harmful side effects.
- Each method will contribute to your reproductive health significantly.
How these strategies can be used?
- They can be used on they own without any treatment from your doctor.
- They can be used as a complementary treatment along side your doctor's treatment.
- They can be used together at the same time or one at a time.
What's in the book? Why should you read it?
Well, when you read the book you'll discover:
· 9 methods to help you get pregnant faster without pain, side effects or discomfort.
· Specific ways to fall pregnant in older women.
· Specific ways to get pregnant in cases of "unexplained infertility".
· A way to a harmonious life as a woman, a wife, and as a mother using the energy of your own cycles. You'll learn to use the cycle's energy instead of letting this energy dominate you.
· Natural ways to improve your health as a woman in order to get pregnant.
· A unique way to balance your conscious and subconscious minds, preparing them for motherhood and for attracting a child into your life.
· How to combine conventional and alternative methods of infertility treatment for best result possible – having a baby.
How to know and use your body signs in order to know the exact time
to conceive.
What are the truly unique things described in the book?
acupuncture and acupressure methods that are described in this book
are based on Su-Jok Therapy. Su - Jok therapy is one of the most
advanced therapies available in the world today. You can use Su- Jok
yourself, at home, without going to a clinic or seeing a
Have a look at the Table of content from the book to see what you will learn..
can see this is a very concise list and it will help you enormously.
Here is a great success story.
Now I want to tell you the good news that many women who are considered to be infertile are not infertile at all. Most of them have a specific reason why they couldn't become pregnant.
In many cases these reasons can be overcome and a healthy
pregnancy achieved naturally (like what happened to the people I
based my book on).
You see old knowledge and
old experiences are good but when you get new knowledge and new
experiences and combine it with your old ones –you definitely
will get a new result.
I really encourage you to try
these methods I described in my new book because I really
believe they can help you and really show you something
important you didn't know before.
Can you afford not to try? Because you never know what could happen.
But, I personally can't see any reasons why you should not like the natural methodologies to becoming pregnant I describe in my books. It is much better to try different strategies in order to fall pregnant than worry sick about those harsh words "The biological clock is ticking".
It is up to you if you believe
you have a chance to fall pregnant or you still want to try.

Combining with the sphingolipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), and transmitting the signal across the membrane by activating an associated G-protein.
The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of a G-protein coupled receptor binding to its physiological ligand, where the pathway proceeds through inhibition of adenylyl cyclase activity and a subsequent decrease in the concentration of cyclic AMP (cAMP).
The process in which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.
The appearance of a cytokine due to biosynthesis or secretion following a cellular stimulus, resulting in an increase in its intracellular or extracellular levels.
A series of molecular signals that proceeds with an activated receptor promoting the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha-subunit of an associated heterotrimeric G-protein complex. The GTP-bound activated alpha-G-protein then dissociates from the beta- and gamma-subunits to further transmit the signal within the cell. The pathway begins with receptor-ligand interaction, or for basal GPCR signaling the pathway begins with the receptor activating its G protein in the absence of an agonist, and ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription. The pathway can start from the plasma membrane, Golgi or nuclear membrane (PMID:24568158 and PMID:16902576).
The immediate defensive reaction (by vertebrate tissue) to infection or injury caused by chemical or physical agents. The process is characterized by local vasodilation, extravasation of plasma into intercellular spaces and accumulation of white blood cells and macrophages.
Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of establishment of endothelial barrier.
Any process that activates or increases the rate or extent of cell proliferation.
Any process that increases the concentration of calcium ions in the cytosol.
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of interleukin-1 beta production.
A series of molecular signals initiated by the sphingolipid sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) binding to a receptor on the surface of the cell, and which proceeds with the activated receptor transmitting the signal by promoting the exchange of GDP for GTP on the alpha-subunit of an associated heterotrimeric G-protein complex. The pathway ends with regulation of a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription.

Slime Girl Dance by Sin-RWatch

Hear is Slime Girl Sin doing the Caramell Dansen.
can't contain the the word anymore, she's so CUUUUUTE X3 dance time now.....wait I can't dance......augh XD lol
Cool ^^
So cute! Nice work indeed. Ha ha!
Thanks, if only I could get her to dance.
You could try and practice the Flash animation program. It's not that hard, it's merely drawing what you want to be animated in the sequence that it'll look like it's moving. So your drawing like 10-20 pages, or just changing or editing the arms and body to the place where it'll end up next for the animation process. It's rather fun when you get a hang of it, but it is very time consuming indeed.
Must glomp cute slime girl!
No; it moves not.
I dont know how to respond to this but...I think it is very well drawn. CUTE!

I am editing the question for clarity.
I created a class in a module that imports MySQLdb. I have found that MySQLdb will raise an Exception if the table the user passes to my class does not exist. I am catching that exception, and passing a new one to the client. But even if the client catches my exception, the program still terminates. I have also tried passing to the client the same Exception MySQLdb is giving my class.
Since the client will be calling my method in a loop, passing in various table names, I don't want the program to choke if the table name is bad. I'd like the client's iterations to continue to the next valid table name. Here is a snippet (tableName is an arg pass in to the method):
In my class/module:
self.tableName = tableName try: self.cursor.execute("select * from " + self.tableName + ";") #Will raise Exception if the table does not exist. except: raise MyException("\n*** " + self.tableName + " does not exist. ***")
In the client:
tables = ["BadTableName", "GoodTableNameA", "GoodTableNameB","GoodTableNameC"] try: for table in tables: my_method(table) #Exception message gets passed in with BadTableName, but the program ends. Subsequest iterations of this loop never happen except Exception, e: print e
I would like the client to continue even after calling my_method(BadTableName).
By the way, my_method() is part of a class defined in its own module which the client is importing.
Thank you.

"A short Sunday morning drive" Fort Qu'Appelle by Bwana_Brown
Fort Qu'Appelle Travel Guide: 11 reviews and 24 photos
It had been a while since I had broken free of Regina for just a leisurely drive in the countryside, so I set out before 8 AM on a Sunday morning to explore another little part of Saskatchewan within a reasonable distance of the city.
I decided on a drive through the countryside toward the east before swinging north toward the Qu'Appelle River to view a part of it I had not yet visited and to see how it was looking now that summer was almost upon us - the last time I saw the river it was still in the grip of winter. It turned out to be quite an interesting drive, considering the fact it only took me 3 hours!
As well as spotting a Deer and several species of birds, I discovered a nice Bison paddock, an alert Llama 'guard', a graveyard for old trucks, a couple of abandoned homesteads and a string of four small lakes that I didn't even know existed! I love the back roads for the things that just crop up and not another vehicle in sight for miles and miles.
I picked Fort Qu'Appelle as the VT site for this trip because it is the only community in their database in the area of my little jaunt. Although I was within a couple of miles of the town as I crossed the river near Echo Lake, I never actually saw it. A fort was first established there in 1864 by the Hudson's Bay Company as part of their extensive network of fur-trading establishments all across western Canada. Not long afterward, Chief Sitting Bull and his Sioux nation followers spent the years 1876-81 seeking sanctuary in this area following their victory over US Army General Custer during the numerous Indian wars in the western plains of USA. There was no resulting violence in Canada due to the arrival of the Sioux, but the demise of the great Bison herds all across western North America led to wide-spread starvation which eventually drove the Sioux nation back to the USA as they accepted an amnesty for wiping out Custer and his troops in defense of their homelands. By 1897 Fort Qu'Appelle was no longer needed as a defensive establishment in Canada.
- Pros:Always something different to see on the back roads!
- Cons:Winter
- In a nutshell:A nice drive but don't expect anything spectacular

The Bison are fantastic. What a wonderful adventure. You have a keen eye for finding some really beautiful countrysides.
Looking forward to read of your longer trip here in Saskatchewan!!
What a wonderful exploration trip :-)) I like these old abandoned farms and how nature starts to take over. The lakes are beautiful, will you go back for fishing one day? And I love this llama, good that you departed as friends :-)
An interesting detour into rural Saskatchewan, Glenn. I could identify with those quiet roads and empty farmhouses, even the llamas, but the image of bison quickly took me back to Canada!
Great Saskatchewan pages, Glenn, you are putting me to shame! I used to spend many Sunday afternoons swimming and boating at Katepwa, I enjoyed the photos.
Thanx for the comment about my Segovia page! I never been to Canada but I always like these small unkown towns. And those llamas look so weird to me :)
What an interesting little side trip. Nice Bison and Llama, glad the Llama was not irritated by you. Loved the lonely Texaco sign. Texaco stations are back in Texas. It was proven Texaco signage sells gasoline here.
Love your intro photo with the lama! Very out of the way place :)
Glad the Llama did not become agitated [for your sake]. Wonderful photos of both the Llama and the American Bison. Sad to see all the abandoned farm homes. Found the Texaco info fascinating. Wondered why I had not seen Texaco signs for years.
Fascinating off the beaten path trip!

Lent has begun! Sign up today for a Lent devotional experience.
5:11 the whole church. This is the first of more than twenty occurrences in Acts of the Greek word ekklesia, usually translated "church." Stephen uses this word for the Old Testament "congregation" of the people (7:38). In the Septuagint (the Greek Old Testament), the worshiping assembly of God's people is often designated with this word. In ancient Greece, the ekklesia was the political "assembly" of citizens (19:32). The New Testament uses the word initially to refer to an organized body of believers (8:1; 11:22; 13:1).

DEFINITION of 'Pareto Analysis'
A technique used for decision making based on the Pareto Principle, known as the 80/20 rule. It is a decision-making technique that statistically separates a limited number of input factors as having the greatest impact on an outcome, either desirable or undesirable. Pareto analysis is based on the idea that 80% of a project's benefit can be achieved by doing 20% of the work or conversely 80% of problems are traced to 20% of the causes.
BREAKING DOWN 'Pareto Analysis'
In its simplest terms, Pareto analysis will typically show that a disproportionate improvement can be achieved by ranking various causes of a problem and by concentrating on those solutions or items with the largest impact. The basic premise is that not all inputs have the same or even proportional impact on a given output. This type of decision-making can be used in many fields of endeavor, from government policy to individual business decisions.

text: Your memory needs a check Rollig, I can think of at least 3 mandatory upgrades since the day of liberation, but most of the rest of the information is correct. If you install 1.21 there's a reasonable chance you will remain able to use it for the rest of the academic year, but there is no guarantee. You can increase your chances by either downloading your own variant client (I like cool viewer personally, but I install on my own machines rather than run a computer lab) which are usually stable, have their own extra features and are nearly always tagged with a branch channel identifier which makes them immune to the forced upgrade process (the Mac Cool Viewer branches still run optionally patched 1.19 quite happily, plus 1.21.6 and the last time I saw it had 1.22.rc6 as the latest version of the RC available. 1.22 rc8 will doubtless be along soon). If you don't like the idea of downloading "false" code (it's all legal, as the client is Open Source, but a lot of people would rather trust Linden Lab than someone they don't know) you can either make your own client from scratch, or with a lot less work repackage the main client as homebrew with its own channel identifier - although it's not incredibly helpful there's a wiki page at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Channel_and_Version_Requirements that details approximately how to do this. As soon as you have your own channel identifier you're responsible for the updates, not Linden Lab. It is theoretically possible they will reverse nearly two years of supporting and open sourcing the client and the variety of clients that are available (there are over a dozen I know of) and release a game-breaker (stopping QT streaming altogether and forcing it to only stream via open source video and audio code for example) but they've not announced any such intent and they have just announced a "road-map VP" so you'd hope they would! (The RC8 seems to be moving away from using QT to OS versions, but there's currently no indication that this will break the QT streaming that is currently used.) El.

East Bay rapper IamSu! will blow up when he damn well pleases

On the cusp of headlining Noise Pop slots, Toro Y Moi releases an album equally inspired by J Dilla and his new Bay Area home
MUSIC Four years ago, in the waning days of the aughts, the befuddling adlib term "chillwave" forged in the throes of the blogosphere, accompanied nearly every story about acts like Neon Indian, Washed Out, and Toro Y Moi. For the uninitiated, chillwave is a cheap, slap-on label used to describe grainy, dancey, lo-fi, 1980s inspired music, and most importantly is a disservice to any band associated with it. Luckily for music writers and listeners alike, this term has died a relatively swift death.Read more »

A word of advice to the person who shouted, "who's your favorite clothing designer?," at W. Kamau Bell during his December 9th show at the Fillmore: a guy who wears a "Legalize Arizona" t-shirt during a night he considers one of the biggest moments of his career probably doesn't give a shit about fashion. (Initially befuddled by the question, Bell eventually responded "Dickies.") In addition, to the person who asked Bell whether or not he thought was a whore for being on TV, if he is a one ... well you paid for your ticket to the show, right?

Pros: Very protective case for my new tablet computer, easy to remove the carrier from the carry pouch. Easy access to power/data port while installed in the pouch, can be operated in our out of the binder section easily.
Cons: No consideration for the pen extraction on the tablet. Even if I remove the inner carrier from the binder, I have to distort the inner case to pick at the pen for removal. I'm thinking about cutting out that section if it becomes a regular problem- the designer should have thought of that. Not enough to debit a star; most of the time I use my fingers on the tablet anyway (it was made for being used that way).
Other Thoughts: With a quality scratch protector on the face of your device, this carrying case finishes the beauty and protects it from accidental droppage, the thick/great quality leather is exactly what you need to protect your expensive gadgets. I think if I just make a small 1 inch slit in the back of the inner case inboard of the pen, that would allow me to move the case out of the way to extract the pen easily while not degrading the protective quality of the case.

I have a 17" widescreen laptop that the video card died on. The resolution is 1680x1050, and I was thinking of gutting the computer for the inverter, screen, and backlight. I know there is a way to adapt it to work with standard VGA, I believe there is an adapter. However, I can't find anyone with an adapter.
Does anyone have experience working with raw panels?
Amazing. I asked if I could do this a little bit ago and was told no and flamed for asking a question that's been asked before. Now here it is again and it's suddenly possible.
Im running a 15.4 widescreen Toshiba laptop panel. Its got vga input via an after market LVDS controller. Ive linked to an ebay ad that will probably do the job, but it may not cover widescreens. If that fails try asking motorcity, they will help you find one.
Continued Worklog... Upgrades in progress:
*15.4" WXGA LED backlight touchscreen upgrade
*Custom fiberglass dash bezel
I don't see anyone saying it isn't possible.

Bring on the Noise of SPARTANs by LordHayabusa357Watch
©2013-2016 LordHayabusa357
Master Chief in upgraded Mark VI armor and rest of the SPARTANs in SPARTAN-III armor march towards the Covenant forces.
the answer? use a gun. and if that dont work, use more gun. and if that dont work, use a spaceship.
Use a gun and if that doesn't work use more gun. You can never have enough gun!
Pictures like this make you wonder why humanity was losing the war.
cortana: CAN WE POSSIBLY MAKE ANY MORE NOISE?
Bring on the noise, and bring on the funk, because these guys are going to crush the Covanant like a bunch of bugs
Well, covies are dead. Ships can outnumber a standerd fleet, enough Spartans that can take a planet back in a month and plenty of firepower to lay waste.
that is a sexy picture
Mac rounds, in atmosphere?
Air traffic must be Horrible. Good job!
I've come here to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm aallllll out of gum.
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!! THIS....IS EPIC!!!!! Also the covonent should start running...to the other side of the galaxy.
Feels more like Overkill than just some noise.
And the covenant knew the meaning of FEAR!
What fools. The primary trope or "Tactic" in the Covenant arsenal is striking from directly above UESC forces.
And only now do they realize their on the wrong planet....
I want to see this fight play out.
Na na.. Nananananaaa nana nanananaaa! Nana
MAC rounds? In atmosphere?
This is gonna HURT!
The entire damn UNSC fleet is there.
Pain, incoming...a LOT of it...
Spartans never die. They're just missing in action.
that....is alot of frigates
My I have your permission to post your photo on my Facebook page with your DA name included?
of course, this is when caboose fucks everything up
added to fan art in Sci-fi Archives
Shit's about to go down!
I like that you used the old style pelicans instead of the news one. they look shit.
anywho, cool pic, cheif
anywho, cool pic, cheif
the whole sceve looks very epic
Technically Upgraded MarkVI armor along with modified Gen1 MJOLNIR armor made for SPARTAN-IIIs...
Still boss as shit though.
Still boss as shit though.
Looks Awsome!
chiefs in upgraded mark 6 not gen 2 like the spartan 4
You Covenant scum are ALL gonna die! MUAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very cool!!!
Then they realized they were all on reach and died

[[caption-width-right:250:There's a new bat in town... and she's trouble]]
''Batgirl'', a DCComics monthly series published from 2000-2006, was the first ongoing series to star the character Comicbook/{{Batgirl}}, who had existed in the comics continuity since 1967. The starring character was Cassandra Cain, the [[LegacyCharacter third woman to hold the Batgirl mantle]], which she assumed in the BatFamilyCrossover ''ComicBook/BatmanNoMansLand''.[[note]]It should be mentioned the second Batgirl only had that identity for ''No Man's Land'', and [[TheRealRemingtonSteele Cassandra may have been created simply to have someone wearing the second Batgirl's costume.]] According to Scott Peterson, who came up with the basic concept for Cassandra, he was told by his boss, after Oracle was established, "Create a new Batgirl. Or I will."[[/note]]
Cassandra Cain had been raised by her father, notorious assassin David Cain, in complete language deprivation. She was never spoken to or taught to speak or read, and as such became adept at interpreting body language, able to deduce complex thoughts and emotions from minute movements. This made her an almost unmatchable fighter, since she could predict where you would strike before you began to move, but also made her completely unable to communicate with other people. When her father had her commit her first murder ([[HarmfulToMinors at the age of six]]), she read the victims dying spasms and understood the horror of killing, and ran away. She wound up in Gotham during the "No Man's Land," when the city had been damaged by an earthquake and formally severed from support or authority of the United States government, and received tutoring and care from Oracle (Barbara Gordon), who had been the ''first'' Batgirl before she was crippled. When they learned of her history, Oracle and Batman adopted her into the Bat-Family and gave her a costume as Batgirl.
The series focused on her ongoing adventures in crimefighting, as well as her relationships with the other Bat characters, as she attempted to adjust to her new life and heal from the abuse she received as a child. It was cancelled in 2006 and briefly revived for a six-issue limited series in 2008.
* AbusiveParents: Cass's father, notorious assassin David Cain, raised her in complete silence and forced her to kill a man when she was six years old. When he would get angry at her he would ''shoot her'' and likewise played "two for flinching" with guns.
* AchievementsInIgnorance: While fighting the Joker, Cassandra was initially losing. Cassandra is able to analyze fighting style and predict an opponent's next move, but the Joker has no fighting style - even he doesn't know his next move!!!
* AmazonBrigade: Most of the Gotham street gangs that Cassandra fights are composed solely of women.
* TheAtoner: She works as a vigilante because she feels regret for her first kill.
* BackFromTheDead: Twice, both times by [[spoiler:Comicbook/LadyShiva]]
* BlackAndGreyMorality: [[{{Qurac}} Tarakstan]] is ruled by an oppressive regime supported by foreign interests who have hired Dr. Death to build them biological weapons (One of which turns dead bodies into oil), and it is opposed by a local terrorist organization that kidnaps foreign businessmen and executes hostages.
* BroughtDownToNormal: She lost her ability to read body language in favor of normal language comprehension. [[spoiler:She gets it back several issues later.]]
* TheCape: Hard to see from the costume, but she's got probably the strictest ThouShaltNotKill of any Bat-family member.
* CaptainObvious: When Superboy wonders how Batgirl managed to discover his secret identity, she first just says "detective," but later also points out that he ''told her where he lived'' when they first met.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Training from hell by the League of Assassins. She is described as borderline superhuman, can bring a wall down, can outrun a Batarang (thrown by herself), can ignore the shock of a bullet and has nearly Spider-man level reflexes.
* CombatStilettos: Cass once wore Barbara's original Batgirl costume in the hopes that it would help her understand why people reacted to her as they did. She looked beautiful in it (As Robin would not stop commenting), but the high-heels proved horribly impractical to fight in, and she tripped while fighting a pair of common muggers. Even Barbara admits that they were a horrible idea, and she explains that she should have done away with them and worn simple boots instead.
* CombatClairvoyance: Cass's body reading ability includes this and takes it to the next level.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Cass is the darkest of all the Bat characters, wearing a costume of ''solid'' black the includes a full-face mask, and frequently terrifies the people she meets even more than Batman. However, she is the one most dedicated to [[ThouShaltNotKill not killing]], and is just as helpful and well-meaning as all the other heroes.
* DaddysGirl: Both with her biological father David and her adoptive father Batman.
* DefiantToTheEnd: After her first fight with Shiva [[CurbStompBattle ended badly]] we have this internal monologue:
-->'''Cassandra''': Uh-oh. Kill shot. Nothing I can do. Guess I could still... spit on her face.
* TheEmpath: Non-psychic example: her body-reading skill is so great she can sense what other people are feeling.
* FatalFlaw: Several. She is illiterate until the end of her series and her understanding of normal social interaction is minimal at best. She had a death wish for a while as well and towards center of her first series did not see a life for herself beyond the mission, to Oracle's horror.
* FirstKiss: When Spoiler tells Cass that she gave her baby up for adoption (An event that has since been [[CanonDiscontinuity quietly dropped from continuity]]) Cassandra admits that she has never even been kissed. In a later issue she rides a train to Smallville for the express purpose of kissing Superboy, but they [[InterruptedKiss keep getting interrupted]] and she eventually realizes that she is really just looking for friendship.
* GlassCannon: When she lost her CombatClairvoyance, her skills suffered so much that Batman considered her ''not worthy of being an active crimefighter''. Her offense was as strong as ever, he noted, but without the ability to predict and dodge, her defense virtually non-existent.
* GoodAngelBadAngel: When Cass accidentally ingests the designer drug "Soul," which exaggerates a person's fundamental nature (The good become blissful and passive, while the bad become angry and violent), her internal selves war for control. The "bad" Cass, dressed in red, points out that Cass has ''every right'' to be angry and violent given her history, and that her supposed "family" is no better than all the scum she fights on a daily basis. The "good" Cass, dressed in white, points out that her friends are ''trying'', even if they do not get it quite right, and that all they have ever asked in return is that she try as well. The gang of Soul-sellers that are watching her [[LampshadeHanging point out that she has good and evil inside of her and they are fighting for control.]] [[spoiler:The bad side wins]].
* InterruptedKiss: Cass rides a train to Smallville seemingly for the express purpose of getting a kiss from Superboy, but [[MomentKiller they keep getting interrupted]]. When they finally get to have the kiss, neither of them wants it; Cassandra realizes that she was really just looking for friendship, and Superboy admits that he was ''terrified'' of kissing her.
* InTheBlood: Cassandra's father is David Cain, notorious assassin, and her mother is Lady Shiva, one of the deadliest martial artists in the world. [[SubvertedTrope Cass herself is steadfastly committed to fighting crime and never taking a life]].
* KickChick: To a minor extent. She punches a lot but she really favours high-kicks as well.
* MomentKiller: Superboy's first "date" with Batgirl (If it could so be called) kept getting interrupted by such things as a [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Martha Kent, a low-flying plane and an attacking telepathic monster]].
* MonsterSobStory: The "Black Wind," head of a terrorist organization in [[{{Qurac}} Tarakstan]], joined the insurgents after the oppressive regime killed his entire village at the behest of foreign interests who wanted the oil beneath their village.
* NonchalantDodge: Since she can read where her enemies will strike, her most common method of defense is simply moving away.
* OddFriendship: Cass and Stephanie Brown, the Spoiler, form one of the oddest pairs there is. Their history is superficially similar, both are the children of supervillains who decided to fight back against their fathers, but Stephanie is a girl from the suburbs with a normal if depressing childhood.
* OverprotectiveDad: Batman is extremely protective of Cass, and has even ''threatened'' boys who show an interest in her. [[DeconstructedTrope This poses some problems when Cass is the one doing the pursuing, especially when the boy is also under the protection/tutelage of Superman]].
* TheParalyzer: Cass uses a punch on a specific nerve to keep [[{{Comicbook/Batgirl2009}} Spoiler]] out of the most problematic fights.
* PregnantBadass: [[spoiler: Lady Shiva was one.]]
* TheQuietOne: it's rare to get more than a sentence out of her in one go. She talks plenty in her internal monologues and she speaks more as time goes on.
* {{Qurac}}: Tarakstan, a former Soviet republic where the [[GreyAndGreyMorality oppressive regime is supported by American interests and opposed by a local terrorist organization.]]
* SacrificedBasicSkillForAwesomeTraining: One of the top 5 hand-to-hand fighters in the world, but could not speak or read.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Superboy, it turns out, goes "Eek!" when surprised.
* SelfParody: Cass's [[GoodAngelBadAngel internal battle between good and evil]] was accompanied by exaggerated parodies of Cass' perception of the other Bat-characters. The Oracle fantasy spouts about love, the Batman fantasy spouts about "the mission," and the Robin fantasy will not stop talking about how sexy Cass looked in Barbara's old Batgirl costume.
* ShipTease: With Superboy, and occasionally Robin. Once in a blue moon with her eventual successor. A number of issues hint at romantic feelings for Bruce, which is awkward when coupled with the fact that he's her adoptive father.
* SuperiorSuccessor: To Lady Shiva, [[TykeBomb by design.]]
* TellMeHowYouFight: Another aspect of her extreme training.
* ThouShallNotKill: Even more than Franchise/{{Batman}}, since she knows exactly what one feels during those final moments.
--> '''Cassandra''': Terror. Then... nothing.
* TykeBomb: Was born and raised for the sole purpose of being the perfect fighter. It took well...until she actually killed someone.
* ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer: When given her first chance to do detective work, she does not know how to do it, until:
-->'''Barbara Gordon''': [[SchmuckBait Of course, you can just beat up every mob in Gotham until you find the right one]]
-->'''Cassandra''': hmmm...

Gov. Herbert calls 2014 Legislature a success
Ravell Call, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Gov. Gary Herbert spent the final night of the 2014 Legislature on Thursday enjoying his success in getting nearly all of his $13.3 billion budget passed — without a controversial and costly initiative from House Speaker Becky Lockhart.
"I'm obviously very pleased with the session and the results of the session," Herbert told the Deseret News in an interview, emphasizing the $345 million in new money for public and higher education, his top budget priority.
The governor, who mingled with staff, family and friends between a series of media interviews, was careful not to directly criticize Lockhart, a potential rival should he run for re-election.
However, Herbert did say he's moving up the timetable for deciding about making another run to sometime over the summer rather than waiting until early next year as planned.
"I'm clearly leaning toward running again. I'm putting myself in a position to do that," the governor said. "I'm certainly encouraged by a lot of people, which is nice."
There were plenty of bumps during the 45-day session, as notable for what lawmakers didn't get done as for they what did.
While lawmakers compromised on the state budget and Count My Vote, they steered clear or couldn't agree on controversial issues such as a statewide nondiscrimination law, raising the gas tax and Medicaid expansion.
During budget negotiations between the House and Senate GOP leadership late in the session, the outgoing Republican speaker from Provo gave up on her nearly $300 million education technology initiative.
Lockhart faced opposition to the hefty price tag from not only Senate Republicans but also the GOP governor. The Senate refused to spend more than $26 million, and Herbert threatened to veto the initiative if the cost exceeded $30 million.
The speaker, who is not seeking re-election and is seen as a possible challenger to the governor in 2016, also dropped her efforts to come up with an alternative to Medicaid expansion using state funds.
Deciding what to do about the nearly $300 million available to the state under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, was one of the biggest issues that couldn't be resolved this session.
Competing Medicaid expansion plans from the House, Senate and the governor that surfaced during the session all failed to win significant support. In the end, the House and Senate determined there would be no agreement this session.
So Herbert said he'll try to strike a deal on his own plan, which requires federal waivers to use the money for a state-run program. He announced this week he's sending a team to Washington, D.C., Monday to begin negotiations.
Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, R-Sandy, said he would have liked Herbert to go to Washington with a unified message from the Legislature. But "whatever he can negotiate with the federal government, there's not going to be consensus," he said.
Lockhart said "it remains to be seen" whether the House would be willing to even take a vote on what the governor is able to bring back during an anticipated special session of the Legislature later this year.
Herbert, though, said he thinks he can have a Medicaid plan in place by the end of the year that both the House and Senate would buy into.
This session, doing something about the state's dirty air was a top priority for many Utahns. Lawmakers passed several bills to address the problem, but it's an issue likely to be back with the winter inversion next year.
"A lot of our priorities were met," said Senate Minority Leader Gene Davis, D-Salt Lake City, citing strides made on air quality issues.

Patient Comments: Calcific Bursitis - Treatment
What kinds of treatment did you undergo for calcific bursitis? What would you recommend?
Comment from: calc, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: August 19
I had calcific bursitis in both shoulders in my early thirties. I still have very mild symptoms, especially when sleeping on my left side. I greatly reduced pain through weight training, using tradition 'wall weights' used in boxing gyms. This seems to have strengthened shoulder and flushed calcium from joints.
Was this comment helpful?Yes
Comment from: Sue hazel, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: June 05
I have calcific bursitis severely in both shoulders. I have had cortisone injections and hydrodilatation in both shoulders with little relief. I have had surgery on my left shoulder to remove the bursa and repair the torn tendon. Unfortunately, 6 months later the bursa was back, worse than before. Now the doctor has urged me to retry hydrodilatation to see if that may help. He does not want to repeat surgery as he believes it will reoccur again. I also have some calcific changes in my left hip.
