OSHA News Release - (Archived) Table of Contents
The U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has completed its investigation of a fatal structural steel collapse at a Milford, Connecticut, power plant construction site and has cited the company responsible for erecting the plant for an alleged violation of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.
On February 2, 2000, the steel structure of a multi-story steam generator unit that was under construction collapsed, landing on a crane, the boom of which in turn struck two aerial lifts being used by workers. Two workers in one of the aerial lifts were killed; the worker in the second lift and the crane operator were seriously injured.
According to Clifford S. Weston, OSHA area director in Bridgeport, the inspection found that Black & Veatch Construction, Inc., the Missouri-based contractor responsible for the erection of the generator unit, did not follow the established erection procedures for the unit.
Specifically, temporary diagonal bracing that was being used to support the unit during its erection had been removed prematurely, thus compromising the unit's stability. This in turn left employees working adjacent to the unstable unit exposed to crushing and traumatic injuries from the potential collapse of the unstable structure.
"The inspection found that the diagonal bracing was removed earlier than the erection procedures called for, leaving the structure vulnerable to collapse," said Weston. "If proper erection procedures had been adhered to, this structure would not have collapsed.
"As a result, OSHA is citing Black & Veatch for a Serious violation of the Occupational Safety and Health Act for allegedly exposing employees to the hazards of crushing and traumatic injuries and proposing a fine of $7,000, the maximum fine that can be proposed under law for a Serious violation."
A serious violation is defined by OSHA as one in which there is a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result, and the employer knew, or should have known, of the hazard.
Weston noted that one feasible method of abating the cited hazard would be to follow structural erection procedures and, in the event of a necessary deviation from those procedures, have an engineer or an individual knowledgeable in structural engineering first properly evaluate the deviation to consider its impact on the structure's stability.
Black and Veatch has 15 working days from receipt of the citation and proposed penalties to either elect to comply with them, to request and participate in an informal conference with the OSHA area director, or to contest them before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
Specifically, Black & Veatch Construction, Inc., of Kansas City, Missouri, is being cited for one alleged Serious violation of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, with a proposed fine of $7,000, for:
The employer did not follow the erection procedures for the Heat Recovery Steam Generator Unit #1, Low Pressure. The removal of the diagonal bracing prior to the installation of casing compromised the stability of the structure which collapsed on February 2, 2000.
OSHA is empowered by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 to issue standards and rules requiring employers to provide their employees with safe and healthful workplaces and jobsites, and to assure through workplace inspections that those standards are followed.

Does Android support virtual memory concept? I read it does use paging but not swap space. That is, it relies heavily on being able to mmap() files and have the kernel page in data from the file as needed (and drop those pages when not needed). It does not however use swap space for paging out dirty pages.
Can some body please elaborate ?

Words can't describe how stunning this picture is. I love everything about it. It honestly took my breath away when I first saw it. It's a MUST fav. Wonderful job!
I love the way the background is dark. It brings out the colour in the flowrrs. I also like it how there is a tint of brown in the background so it doesn't look too 2D.
ummmm these flowers looks very beautiful
These are beauties!! Excellent lighting in this!
ooooh, those are quite lovely.. nice contrasting colors.
Great shot, I like the simple composition a lot and the shallow depth of field makes the image very beautiful. I find myself in agreement with some other comments that a bit more light would have been nice. I also find it a bit distracting that some of the colors in the flowers turned out much different than others. Overall a really nice shot, take care and keep shooting!
very nice lighting. im really liking the colors in the petals. nicely composed and rad DOF.

Autumn...my favorite season. I love how so many talented people are paying tribute to fall right now. This has to be one of the best I've seen thus far. Lovely.
Lovely colors and tones. I like the focus depth, it just seems to add another dimension to the photograph. The lighting is interesting too, and I believe it has worked well, with the central light source pointed to the center of the photo, fading out toward the edges. Nice job

DURHAM, N.C. — Ryan Kelly had waited two months for the chance to help his Duke teammates reclaim the form that made them the nation's top-ranked team.
He returned with a stunning performance that shook up No. 5 Miami and left his own Hall of Fame coach struggling for the right words.
The senior scored a career-high 36 points in his return from a foot injury that had sidelined him since January, helping the third-ranked Blue Devils beat the Hurricanes 79-76 on Saturday night in a matchup of the Atlantic Coast Conference's top teams.
"I guess I was ready for it," Kelly said. "That's all I can say."

Kelly knocked down 10 of 14 shots — including 7 of 9 three-pointers — for the Blue Devils (25-4, 12-4), who avenged a blowout road loss in January by grinding out a tough win in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
"I mean, me saying 'spectacular' or whatever doesn't do his performance justice," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "One for the ages. Probably as good a performance as any player has had — a Duke player has had — in Cameron."
Kelly's performance was the highlight of a game that certainly lived up to the teams' lofty rankings and their status as the league's best. Miami led by seven in the first half and by two at the break, while Duke never led by more than five until the final three minutes.
But the Hurricanes (23-5, 14-2) made a frantic rally and missed two threes in the final seconds to tie it.

At No. 6 Kansas 91,
West Virginia 65
Ben McLemore scored a Kansas freshman record 36 points, and Jeff Withey came within one block of a triple-double.
Withey's nine blocks ran his Big 12 and Kansas career record to 281. He had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Jayhawks (25-4, 13-3 Big 12). Terry Henderson had 20 points for the Mountaineers (13-16, 6-10).
At No. 7 Georgetown 64, Rutgers 51
Otto Porter Jr. finished with 28 points and eight rebounds, leading the Hoyas (23-4, 13-3 Big East) to their 11th consecutive victory. Rutgers (13-14, 4-12), which has never beaten a top-10 team on the road, has lost 10 of its past 11 games.
At No. 8 Florida 64, Alabama 52
Casey Prather had 10 points and nine rebounds, most of them in the second half, and Florida rallied from an eight-point deficit. Erik Murphy led the Gators (23-5, 13-3 Southeastern) with 15 points. Trevor Releford led the Tide (19-10, 11-5) with 12 points.

May 25, 2013 - I know where my towel is by LlyzabethWatch
©2013-2016 Llyzabeth
I guess this is only photomanipulation in the most technical sense: I didn't take the picture, a friend shot it for me, so I didn't want to put it in the photography section, and also I followed a tutorial about how to make a photo taken by a regular camera look like instagram here: [link] so really I manipulated the hell out of it. So. Anyway. Happy Geek Day everybody!

NFL players among sports' leaders on Twitter
By Charles Robinson, Yahoo! Sports
8 hours, 35 minutes ago
The phone lit up and vibrated with yet another text message. It was Chad Ochocinco, proclaiming his Twitter greatness – again. It was maybe his sixth text over the course of June, sent to remind a reporter just how prolific Ochocinco had become on the micro-blogging website.
"I am leading the Twitter world," the text read. "ESTABAN OCHO CINCO, stay thirsty my friends."
For many athletes, Twitter has become a release – a breezy 140 character status update (called "Tweets") offering a little nugget of entertainment to fans, friends and media. For the Cincinnati Bengals wideout, it has seemingly crossed over into an obsession. Since joining the site in late May, Ochocinco has posted more than 2,800 times to his account (@OGOchoCinco), which is more than any other athlete in that time span. It averages out to roughly one post every 15 minutes for an entire month (without sleep). And it's nothing less than an orgy of personal detail and thought, the collective body reading like a song from The Police: Every breath Chad takes, every move Chad makes, he'll be tweeting you … and tweeting you … and tweeting you.
From calling out other NFL players: "Somebody please tell Shawne Merriman(notes) that's [h]is ass on Dec. 20th, relay the message to the rest of the D, especially Cromartie!!!! child please." – June 24
To spending Father's Day pondering the amount of time he spends with his four children: "I wonder if Brad Pitt and Angelina are around theres [sic] all the time. [What] happens when its time to film a movie 6 months out the year[?]" – June 21
To overreacting to the deaths of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett: "Okay, first Mrs. Fawcett now Mr. Jackson, please tell me this is a mistaken rumor, if not this is just as sad as 9/11." – June 25
In a way, Ochocinco has showcased the best and worst of the Twitter world when it comes to athletes. He has spent a month in almost constant contact with his followers – updating them on his offseason workout regimen, his meals, his beefs with other players, and his thoughts on virtually everything. Some of it has been personal and intriguing. Some of it has bordered on gibberish or struck an offensive cord (Ochocinco profusely apologized on his account for the 9/11 comparison).
But taken as one solid string of interaction, it's a picture perfect example of the power that athletes are suddenly enjoying with Twitter. In only a little more than a month, Ochocinco has collected nearly 25,000 followers – people who subscribe to his tweets and get each update from Ochocinco delivered to their own Twitter account. That number gives him one of the NFL's most influential followings, offering an unfettered platform for one of the league's most colorful voices. And if some analysts are right, Ochocinco's popularity only scratches the surface of where Twitter could be taking the NFL once the regular season starts.
"Twitter really represents for the first time the opportunity for the athletes to speak their own voice and get it out to the public in an unfiltered manner," said David Katz, a onetime Yahoo! media executive who has since founded sportsfanlive.com. Katz's current company features an offshoot called athletetweets.com, the Internet's leading collection of Twitter accounts belonging to athletes. "That [unfiltered voice] is both good and bad for them, potentially. There are pitfalls as well as opportunities with that."
The NFL has clearly realized as much. Since the offseason began, no professional sports league has been as deeply involved with the site as the NFL. Commissioner Roger Goodell (@nflcommish) posted a handful of updates during the NFL draft. The New York Jets (@nyjets) revealed their draft selections on Twitter before they were announced at the podium in New York City. Multiple teams have created Twitter accounts to deliver news of player transactions this offseason. And of course, the number of legitimate player accounts have grown exponentially this offseason. Twitter doesn't keep track of the number of accounts from NFL players, but a count by Yahoo! Sports identified at least 312 players who have joined the site.
"We wear helmets. You've probably got 20 players out of the whole National Football League that can go anywhere in the states and somebody will know who they are," said the Chargers' Merriman, who posts under shawnemerriman. "So for the most part, the only thing that people know about us is what they read. So they kind of make their own opinion of you by reading. Well, in this case, I post five times a day minimum, so you kind of see I am just a regular guy, too. I'm working on some of the most vigorous workouts out there in the offseason, but I eat Fruity Pebbles, too."
"If you have something posted on your Twitter site, that's exactly what you have to say. It hasn't been doctored up by a writer or any of the media."
– DeAngelo Hall(notes), Redskins cornerback
In a world where players often live on cell phones, the ability to seamlessly post to Twitter has been a driving force behind the site's rise in the NFL. Players post from the airport, the beach, from workouts and dinner – and almost every conceivable place in between. And in a way, it has put them in the driver's seat in the media world.
Whereas players once needed a print, Internet, radio or television conduit to effectively get their message out, players are already finding that Twitter allows them to break news in all four of those mediums – on their own. Beyond the 140 character updates, players have moved to posting pictures and video on their sites. When Ochocinco and Merriman got into a Twitter donnybrook last week, it featured multiple video clips going back and forth, including Merriman at one point threatening to "wring" Ochocinco's neck.
But lost in the hyperbole of the moment was something unique: players actively playing out their boxing-esque hype sessions directly through their own words, pictures and videos. All the while, drawing fans, media and other NFL players into the experience. But these Twitter components have made the medium as dangerous as it is compelling and powerful.
"Your message definitely gets twisted and folded the way the media wants it," said Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall (@Dhall23). "If you have something posted on your Twitter site, that's exactly what you have to say. It hasn't been doctored up by a writer or any of the media. It's straight from your mouth to the fan. It definitely kind of clears the air a little bit when someone tries to quote you."
It's a direct forum that Hall would have like to have when he experienced his fallouts in Atlanta and Oakland.
"It would have been a great way to just say 'Hey, this is what happened. [Bobby] Petrino said this, I said that,' " Hall said. "Especially with Oakland. I could have said 'I was released today. They didn't want to pay me X amount of money next year.' It would have been a great outlet to get those messages out. That's what I think makes it so unique now. People are using it to their benefit to get whatever message they want out."
Already, the sports world is finding out how perilous that can be. Earlier this month, Tony La Russa settled a lawsuit against Twitter over an account that had been impersonating the St. Louis Cardinals manager. The grounds, according to the suit, were "dilution, cybersquatting, and misappropriation of name and likeness." The NFL has had its share of problems, too, with major stars like Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger(notes) and Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware(notes) both seeing real news stories written based on things written in fake Twitter accounts. As it turns out, neither has a Twitter account.
But even legitimate accounts can create havoc. Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kevin Love inadvertently broke the news of coach Kevin McHale's firing on his Twitter account. In March, Milwaukee Bucks forward Charlie Villanueva drew the ire of his franchise after tweeting during the halftime of a win over the Boston Celtics. Buffalo Bills wideout Terrell Owens(notes) caused a flap too, making national news when he tweeted about being denied a rental property because the neighborhood didn't want the "drama" that would come with Owens.
All of which raises an intriguing point as the NFL season looms: How long before the league adopts a Twitter policy? As it stands, no professional sports league has one – a fact that likely exists because it would infringe on free speech. But in a league like the NFL, where information is tightly guarded, many observers are anticipating a crossroads.
"I think there are going to be a handful of seminal events that change the direction of the way this whole thing operates," said Katz. "… Athletes do need a little bit of a wake-up call. They just need to be reminded, if they're out at a club and they're having a couple drinks and they start twittering, it's like sticking a camera on themselves and being on ESPNews. You are now in front of the world whenever you're putting something out there." One NFC general manager, who declined to be named, said he told his public relations staffers to monitor players' Twitter accounts. He added that those accounts would be held to the same standard as if the athlete were speaking to any other form of media. If something is deemed to be detrimental to the team, players will be subject to a fine or suspension, in the same manner that they would under any other part of the team's personal conduct policy.
"You don't talk about game plans," said St. Louis Rams running back Steven Jackson (SJ39), when asked to describe where he would draw the line on Twitter. "I don't think, personally, that you should call anyone out in terms of an opponent. Just be respectful to your team and your franchise.
"Sometimes people get really raw and talk like they're having a one-on-one conversation. But this conversation is open ended. … To me, it's more dangerous than having a press conference in the locker room. I will have someone [from the team] pull my coattails if I'm going too far with it, or they'll end the interview. When you're on Twitter, you can say whatever, whenever you want to say it."
Indeed, the unfiltered nature might be the one red flag in an otherwise overwhelming tide of opportunity. Already, athletes are trying to find a way to take their audience and create financial opportunities with products. Others are sharing their political and social views. Still others are merely enjoying the experience of having a soap box.
Through it all, the NFL is continuing to embrace a new artery between its game and the masses of worshippers. Ochocinco may have summed it up best when, after his Twitter fight with Merriman, he placed a call to an old-fashioned form of media – a reporter – and explained himself.
"You been around long enough to know how I am," Ochocinco said. "I'm always gonna talk. It's just me being me."

Ironside was very influential in developing the character of Sam Fisher.
Project Stealth is a new take on the asymmetrical spy-versus-mercenary multiplayer modes of the Splinter Cell franchise, and it could not look more lovely. All of the tension, the interplay between the hunter and the hunted, and, of course, the many many gadgets. Netherlands-based developer Heartcore Games has just turned to Kickstarter to make their impressive early work into a fully fledged
Ubisoft has confirmed that Splinter Cell: Blacklist and Rayman: Legends didn't hit their undisclosed sales targets in a conference call held earlier today.
Splinter Cell: Blacklist came out last week. I've been playing it since release and we were hoping to have a review up today, but unfortunately a serious issue with multiplayer connectivity has prevented me from accessessing - and assessing - Blacklist's online features.
It's hard to tell how widespread the problem is from forum posts, but I get the impression that I'm not alone. Blacklist
We take a look at the history of troubled PC game releases.
Sam Fisher is equally adept at sneaking, killing, and killing-while-sneaking, as the latest in Ubisoft's long-running Splinter Cell Trailer series suggests. Sneak like a sneaky Ghost, pounce like a Panther, or kill everyone like an Assault - in Blacklist, you can mix and match these methods to your murdery heart's content. Me? I'm waiting for the Zombie/Giraffe/Avinegar DLC, to see what three
Like a morally dubious, neck-bothering Batman, Sam Fisher wants to make you think he is everywhere as part of his tireless campaign to stop ALL OF THE ATTACKS. He's in you house, he's in your office, he's in your pantries, he's in Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Ubisoft's upcoming sneak and snap 'em up that continues to pump out unintentionally hilarious trailers.
Upcoming stealthy action game Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist has released a new video detailing its Spies vs. Mercs Classic multiplayer mode. As explained by Splinter Cell community developer Zack Cooper, the Classic mode is intended to give new players a useful introduction to multiplayer in the new game.
I'm not convinced Splinter Cell Blacklist has anything left to show us in its many trailers, but one thing's abundantly clear: Ubisoft are going to keep making them until we give in to their insane demands. (Their demands being that we 'buy Splinter Cell Blacklist', and 'please give Rayman another chance'). Their latest attempts to get us used to Sam Fisher's new, non-Ironsidian voice actor, who
The Merc and the Spy have been bitter enemies ever since the former neglected to hold a door open for the latter sometime in the late eighteenth century. That one act of (quite unforgivable) rudeness sparked a centuries-long feud, escalating through name-calling, to pranks, and inevitably to murder. After sitting Conviction out, the pair are at it again, in Splinter Cell: Blacklist's returning
Splinter Cell: Conviction may have starred a more action-heavy version of Sam Fisher than was seen in his Third Echelon days, but - even with its lighter, more fluid stealth systems - Ubisoft's Jade Raymond thinks its complexity has still had an effect on the series' appeal. Speaking to Eurogamer, the Ubisoft Toronto managing director said the games' comparative difficulty has made them less
Ubisoft's latest run-of-the-mill Splinter Cell video - in that it shows old Sam Fisher...running around a mill - flaunts the three different ways you'll be able to tackle the game's missions. As game director Patrick Redding explains in the video, you can stealthily Ghost them, un-stealthily Assault them head on, or...hang on, what exactly does the 'Panther' play-style entail? Turns out it's a
I prefer my stealth games with a little less action and a little more sneaking, but this assassination-heavy video for Splinter Cell: Blacklist cares to disagree. The eight-minute-long trailer (courtesy of VG24/7) features ze goggles, creeping, and a lot of bad-guy removal, plus a surprise appearance by former president George Bush.
Have you always wanted to see a montage of US presidents raising their right hand? If so, that's a bit weird, but do I have a trailer for you! In this latest look at Splinter Cell: Blacklist, a round-up of US presidents recite their Inauguration oath, before Splinter Cell's own President Caldwell tasks Sam Fisher with stopping the Blacklist attacks. Tenuous connection? You bet!
The visual frippery that games could do without.
Pools of light and the shadows they create are Sam Fisher's constant companions in Splinter Cell: Blacklist, and developer Ubisoft aims to lavish as much attention to their behavior it has with the rest of the stealth series. A new developer diary video showcases how the camera shares the same physical space with Sam and reacts to atmospheric effects such as rain and the harsh glare of
The actor who played Bane in this year's Dark Knight Rises will become terrorism's reckoning in the upcoming Splinter Cell movie, Variety report. Tom Hardy will play gruff, stubbly neck-snapper Sam Fisher, immediately hiking the special agent's menace potential to a place somewhere between Blue Velvet Dennis Hopper and Sexy Beast Ben Kingsley. Neither of those characters are as good at Fisher at

29 CFR 18.18 - Written interrogatories to parties.
(a) Any party may serve upon any other party written interrogatories to be answered in writing by the party served, or if the party served is a public or private corporation or a partnership or association or governmental agency, by any authorized officer or agent, who shall furnish such information as is available to the party. A copy of the interrogatories, answers, and all related pleadings shall be served on all parties to the proceeding. Copies of interrogatories and responses thereto shall not be filed with the Office of Administrative Law Judges unless the presiding judge so orders, the document is being offered into evidence, the document is submitted in support of a motion or a response to a motion, filing is required by a specialized rule, or there is some other compelling reason for its submission.
(b) Each interrogatory shall be answered separately and fully in writing under oath or affirmation, unless it is objected to, in which event the reasons for objection shall be stated in lieu of an answer. The answers and objections shall be signed by the person making them. The party upon whom the interrogatories were served shall serve a copy of the answer and objections upon all parties to the proceeding within thirty (30) days after service of the interrogatories, or within such shorter or longer period as the administrative law judge may allow.
(c) An interrogatory otherwise proper is not necessarily objectionable merely because an answer to the interrogatory involves an opinion or contention that relates to fact or the application of law to fact, but the administrative law judge may order that such an interrogatory need not be answered until after designated discovery has been completed or until a prehearing conference or other later time.

The Twelve Trials of UnSub: Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning
I wasn't going to play Warhammer: Age of Reckoning at launch. Like AoC before it, I was going to give it 30 days, then see what the community reaction towards the title was. Frankly I thought AoC was going to be a trainwreck of a launch, but someone sold their soul for a pretty good launch - it was only after that the problems became clear.
But then a friend picked up WAR and I was in the right place and time that getting it seemed like a good idea. So I end up buying WAR and using the month's play time that comes with the box to trial things out. Unfortunately I found myself disappointed with a very empty feeling world, a PvE experience that lacked soul, a PvP experience that varied from being fun to incredibly frustrating and a developer who appears not to understand player behaviour in MMOs.
In the initial play month I got my character Etherial, a High Elf Shadow Warrior, to
level rank 19, but just got to a point of frustration that meant I was no longer having fun.
I've already blogged about the empty world feeling of WAR arising from server population limts so won't really cover that ground again... except to say that it is probably a major reason for a lot of WAR's other issues. More players closer together means more chances to team up and PvE, more chances of running PvP and more chances of the world actually feeling 'alive'. PvE had no tactics at all to it - no point standing on the other side of a river or up a hill to do a ranged attack, since mobs move the same speed over all terrain, so it is just stand there and attack until they die, then repeat.
No point trying to use terrain to your advantage when your enemies can walk on water!
PvP showed some high points - I got into playing Scenarios... for a while. But seeing Mourkain Temple pop five or six times in a row got old. PUG experiences could get very messy, especially since what was good for individual players often led to play behaviour that lost the match (i.e. it is better to be out there damaging targets than protecting your flag, but not protecting your flag often costs you the match and reduces your play rewards). My RvR experience was running around empty areas and looking at PvP sites that were protected by PvE mobs.
Probably the largest secondary factor to quitting WAR (after not having fun) rather than waiting a month to see if things improve is how Mythic appear to have little understanding of what the real problems of WAR are. Or, if they have the understanding, their will to do something is lacking.
Take the current situation with RvR. It is mostly under-used partly because the character progression rewards from it are so weak, yet is meant to be WAR's core. However, instead of incentivsing players to come to RvR by making it give excellent experience, reknown and / or loot, Mythic instead starts talking about introducing new 'no scenario' servers. Firstly, the last thing WAR needs is more servers (the news on free character transfers off low population servers would seem to support the idea they've got too many servers up currently) and secondly I would hate to see the grind this game would have if scenarios were taken out. Rather than reduce scenarios, Mythic needs to improve RvR's reward if they wish to see this area improve and get players excited.
Or take the Witching Night event. The main show sounds like a great idea - a PQ in an RvR zone for special loot - but Mythic opts to have the PQ reset every "few hours", even hotfixing the event when it was discovered it could reset more frequently than that if successfully completed (it's the last patch note here). For an event that only lasts 5 days, having to wait for a few hours for the chance of something to appear (which can be completed very quickly once the first stage of killing 100 players is completed) is a text book way of annoying the player base.
I'm sure the idea was that people will RvR in the mean time as something to do, but the reality is that scenarios provide better rewards than RvR so it is more likely players will stand around warcamps doing them while waiting for the Witching Night PQ to start, or perhaps taking keeps or area objectives (which, because RvR rewards are so low, generally aren't defended). C'mon Mythic - it's Halloween! Have the Witching Night PQ constantly reset, keep the players in the area and fighting each other, let the players get their candy when they win and keep them happy during the event!
I could go on in this vein, but I've already written plenty. Mythic appears to have designed a game of separate parts, not a game that hangs well together. Nothing it does is really exceptional while a multitude of flaws are on display... and all the while Mythic keeps making changes that appear designed to actively distance players from each other and from the game.
To say something positive, WAR does look good most of the time. It's just ... empty.
I might come back to WAR one day, but 'might' is the operative word. Right now it isn't delivering me much fun and I'm getting more enjoyment out of seeing Mythic deliver fun-stifling changes than I would get from winning a scenario or completing a public quest.

Wayne Lyons will read the quarterback when he covers pass receivers for the Stanford Cardinal in Tuesday's Foster Farms Bowl. He's into reading, reports Elliott Almond for the San Jose Mercury News. A Fort Lauderdale native, the 22-year-old architectural design major started a virtual book club to encourage his high school friends and team mates to read.
Lyons believed 20 minutes a day of reading would help classmates build knowledge that would make them better students — and eligible to play football.
He encouraged students to read and write about their book in a text or on Facebook.
An honors student and class president at Dillard High, Lyons took community college classes in high school and became class valedictorian.
His friend and teammate Wilkervens Tamar, who'd left middle school with a 1.0 grade-point average, graduated No. 3 in his class, earned a Bill Gates Millennium scholarship and attends Georgia Tech.
After seeing how excited some of his classmates got about reading, Lyons expanded the project to reach younger students with a mentoring program he called P.A.R.T.Y. — Pick Up Anything and Read To Yourself. He also matched upperclassmen with middle school kids so the younger ones would know what to expect upon entering Dillard.
Lyons once told his mother, "I feel bad for a lot of these kids. They don't have study habits. They're doomed before they even get into high school. I've got to get them reading, because that's the start."
His mother, Gwen Bush, a computer science teacher, taught her children to read fluently before they started kindergarten.
Lyons plans to graduate in June, but has another season of academic eligibility. He may return to Stanford or go on to the NFL.

Filters as you sip, so you can hydrate on the go. Re-usable, BPA-Free, spill-proof bottle with a filter inside.
Turns tap water into freshly filtered water
Sustainable, plant-based filter lasts about 3 months or 48 gallons (180L) of water
Easy to refill and easy to use bottle with a filter built into the straw
Durable and spill-proof
Easy to carry: Integrated loop handle makes it easy to clip a carabiner or carry with the crook of a finger
100% Free of BPA and BPS
Independently tested according to NSF/ANSI standard 42 for reduction of chlorine, taste and odor
CamelBak® Big Bite™ Valve is compatible with CamelBak eddy™ and CamelBak Groove® bottles
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we built it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
Groove Instructions
Give your Fresh™ Filter a quick 15-second rinse the first time you use it to dislodge any harmless, loose particles of carbon, then set it aside, as no additional cleaning is recommended.
If you accidentally run your filter through the dishwasher, discard and replace it with a new filter.
Remove the carbon filter as it is not dishwasher safe.
The bottle, bite valve, straw and lid can be cleaned in the top rack of the dishwasher or by hand with warm, soapy water. Pull off the bite valve and straw from the cap. If you like to use a bottle brush, we don't recommend forcing a brush through the Bite Valve slit. If you have the brush kit, run the small brush through the straw.
For a deeper cleaning, add a drop of mild soap or tablespoon of bleach to a clean glass jar filled with water. Drop the bite valve, straw and cap into the solution, and tightly close the jar's lid. Shake the mixture around for 30 seconds, and then let the parts soak for about 15 minutes. Rinse and shake dry.
To re-assemble the lid:
Flip the stem collar (the component the bite valve attached to originally) to the open position. Orient the bite valve so the finger tab points towards the front of the cap. Push the bite valve firmly onto the stem collar.
Press the straw back into place on the bottom of the lid. Ensure the straw covers the notches completely.
The bite valve on my new bottle doesn't have a slit (opening) and I can't drink from it
The self-sealing silicone can sometimes seal tightly before first use. To open, squeeze the bite valve and twist & roll between your fingertips. This should loosen the seal and open it up for drinking. If you're still experiencing problems, please request a new bite valve using our Warranty Parts Form.
Can I put hot water in my CamelBak® Groove®?
Warm water in your CamelBak® Groove® is just fine, NOT boiling water (maximum temperature: 100 degrees Fahrenheit). Please be aware that the experience will be similar to drinking hot liquid through a straw, so use caution.
Can I put ice in my CamelBak® Groove®?
Yes. Feel free to fill the bottle with ice, but be sure to leave enough room in the bottle for the filter housing and tube assembly when the cap is replaced.
Can a child use the CamelBak® Groove®?
Children age 5 and under should not use the CamelBak® Groove®. The Bite Valve could become dislodged and pose a choking risk.
Can I use CamelBak® Groove® when I'm traveling abroad?
Only use the CamelBak® Groove® with potable tap water. The Fresh™ Filter contained in your CamelBak® Groove® does not remove harmful microscopic pathogens that may be contained in tap water outside of the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan.
Can I use CamelBak® Groove® when I'm hiking in the back country?
Only use the CamelBak® Groove® with potable tap water. The Fresh™ Filter contained in your CamelBak® Groove® is not a purifier and not certified to be effective against bacteria, cysts or viruses.
Can I use the CamelBak® Groove® in high-altitude/ low-pressure environments? (i.e. airplanes, mountain altitudes, etc)
Yes, but with extra care. Always keep the bottle right side up and the bite valve in the closed position. Remove the straw for additional protection. Expect a bit of "spurt" during the first sip.
Is the CamelBak® Groove® microwave safe?
Feel free to use the CamelBak Groove® to warm up liquids (i.e., up to a minute). Do NOT microwave with the cap (or straw or filter) in place as it contains metal screws that are not microwave safe.
What are the maximum temperatures (freezing / boiling) that the CamelBak® Groove® can withstand?
The CamelBak® Groove® can withstand being filled with water ranging in temperature from 34 - 100 degrees Fahrenheit. We do NOT recommend freezing water inside the bottle or boiling it. Extremely hot fluids can damage your CamelBak® Groove®.
What if I accidentally washed my Fresh™ Filter in the dishwasher?
If you accidentally wash your Fresh™ Filter in the dishwasher, we recommend that you discard it and place a new Fresh™ Filter in your bottle.

This is my favorite bottle to pack, especially on a plane trip. I can get through security and fill up at any faucet in the airport--and get the great taste of freshly filtered water. No money wasted on bottled water and not another disposable bottle sent to an overseas recycling plant.

First let me start by saying that this water bottle is absolutely great! I loved it from the moment that I got it! Between the capacity and the fact that I could drink from it without having to tip it up this water bottle is absolutely wonderful. However, not maybe more than six months after getting it my bottle developed a horrible flaw! It had a leak! I have done everything that I know to fix it and yet it still leaks somewhere in the cap. Now whenever I drink from it it is like drinking from a straw that has a hole in it. I no longer get the good strong purely water no air flow, that it had when I first got it, and to the best of my knowledge I have only used it normally. I do not believe that I have used it in anyway abnormally. Other than this simple problem it is a great water bottle. However, if I can not get this problem resolved I will probably buy a different water bottle and not use my Camelbak anymore or buy there products. Hopefully somebody at Camelbak will read this and be able to help me otherwise they will probably lose my business. Have a great day and GOD bless,David

Love the CamelBak Goove

Comments about CamelBak Groove® .75L:
I love this product. Especially when traveling through the airport, I am reducing the carbon footprint and also saving money by purchasing water bottles!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

LOVE my Groove!
By Coach Kellie
from Monrovia, CA
I have been using the Groove for a good couple years now and am VERY pleased. I have dropped it countless times, hiked and even run with it a few times. I recommend this so highly that this year I'm giving them to my clients as a holiday gift. The filters are super easy to change and last a long time. The 750ml is perfectly sized for me to drink 3-4 bottles every day. If there are any drawbacks, it's the mouth piece. They need to be pierced manually and fiddled with to create optimal water flow. Also, if the water warms in the straw it can expand and a little will bubble out the mouth piece... but it's only water and dries quickly. All in all, this is by far the best product I have ever found for staying hydrated while drinking filtered water and NOT creating landfill waste. Yay Groove!

No Filter!
By Isabella, the disappointed
from Lynchburg, VA
My friend picked this up for me because she knew I wanted a nice water bottle and she had heard Camelbak was good. Not mine. There is NO FILTER even though it was full priced. Also, the top is stupidly designed. You have to take the top off to drink from it and even then it's a tiny hole. I wish I could return it.

Not as effective as I'd hoped
By Ben
from New Haven, CT
Doesn't get rid of the unpleasant chlorine taste in the water at my office. Also, the filter makes it slower and harder to drink. It might work for some but I think the original Eddy would serve me better.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Does not flow well
By Carol the Camel who needs to drink water
from Poway, CA
would use it away from water filter if it worked.

Mostly good
By Elli
from Wisconsin
So far I am mostly happy with the product. However thus far I have not changed the filter and am nervous to because it seems very complicated. The only problem I have has with the bottle is that it does leak if you put in even just a little more water above the fill line. I really like that I don't need to hold it up to drink and I am happy with the bitable nozzle.
Nava Vs Groove
By Dennis
from Anaheim, CA
I purchased a Nava and it's the completely opposite for me. The Nava is surrounded by cheap plastic that has already chipped after a drop. Whereas my Groove is going strong even after 4 years. The upside to the Nava is the water flow (due to the design of the filter, downside to the design is it will give 8 gallons less than the groove filter), and cover for the mouthpiece. But durability is not one of them.I'll be using my Nava for indoors and Groove for Outdoors.Summary:Groove:-Pros: Durability, Bite valve, LIFETIME guarantee, more gallons, thinner, and cheaper refill filters.-Cons: water flowNava:-Pros: Cheaper, water flow, mouth piece cover, looks prettier.-Cons: leaks, cheap plastic, no lifetime guarantee.Winner: Groove.I will end up paying more with the filters on the Nava since the difference is a few bucks.

I love my new filtered water bottle!!
By Mayr
from St. Louis, MO
You have to take the rubber cap off to drink from it. The rubber cap is just there to keep your water from spilling. I would definitely recommend this bottle. I've already saved a ton of money by not buying the disposable water bottles!! Thank youCamelbak!!!

Top was not factory cut
By Bob
from Michigan
it came with no opening in rubber top. I know if I cut it wrong it will be impossible to use and I will have wasted a lot on a water bottle. Apparently I'm not the first person with this problem.

IT is related to the horse and rhino, but is less well known because it lives in the forest and only comes out at night.
A solitary and endangered animal, it bears a single, striped calf, which stays with its mother for about eight months. It uses its long, flexible snout to eat all kinds of vegetation, but in captivity it has a passion for bananas. It enjoys wallowing in water and makes a whistling noise rather like a bird. It is considered clumsy, but has a surprising turn of speed. In captivity, it sometimes throws tantrums and bites its keeper.

FYI linux people, the mentioned Tahiti GDDR5 Identifier software doesn't work under linux, but VBE7 works in Wine and is able to list the memory manufacturer and model from the BIOS information (BIOS image can be read in linux with the linux variant of atiflash without rebooting the PC).
I'm all for testing new ideas. https://www.dropbox.com/s/x1gtz82g1f1fgyw/Gigabyte-280x-REV2-F60.zip
So how can I edit the timing tables or find out more about it?
Wondering why google got no results for that Tahiti GDDR5 Identifier except this thread, link removed for now - if he offers to scan the bios anyway just dump it with gpuz - not enough for a ban though, the technical stuff seems about right ^^
The "Tahiti GDDR5 Identifier" is safe as it is a simple AutoIT script I made.

Connecticut Lighting Centers recently expanded the Hartford location on Brainard Road to include an impressive new over 1,000 sq. ft. Decorative Hardware Showroom to create a one-stop shopping experience for our customers. One of the leading vendors of Decorative Hardware is a long time local, made in the U.S.A. manufacturer – Colonial Bronze of Torrington, Connecticut.
Since 1927, Colonial Bronze has been a manufacturer of high quality Decorative Hardware including cabinet knobs, drawer pulls, handles, and switch plates as well as specialty functional hardware. Today, the company is still located in Torrington with a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility that is unsurpassed for quality and durability of products. Colonial Bronze is the only company to offer a written Lifetime Finish Guarantee against tarnishing.
A recent partnership has resulted in a new line of leather and brass hardware called "Tanner's Craft" – a marriage of the finest leather from Edelman Leather and the solid brass creations of Colonial Bronze. They are also leaders in developing anti-microbial coatings for all of their products-a clear coating to protect products and people from harmful bacteria. In addition, Colonial's products are certified Green – consisting of 95% pre-consumer recycled material – certified by Scientific Certification Systems, a leading third party auditor of environmental claims.
Connecticut Lighting Centers is proud to support locally owned and operated manufacturers of quality products. Money spent locally stays in the local community longer. For every $100 you spend, $69 returns to the community through taxes, payroll & other expenditures, which in turn invigorates the local economy.

Virginia's new data-driven prioritization process scored nearly 300 transportation projects proposed by localities and regional planning bodies across the state, and a few local projects made the cut.
The scoring is a key part of a new law, known as House Bill 2, developed on a bipartisan basis to invest limited tax dollars in the right transportation projects.
Galax High School's capital fundraising campaign for the football field through NFL grants is bolstered by the fact that Coach Mark Dixon is a former player for the Miami Dolphins.
"Believe me, it is very difficult to get a phone number that goes to the Miami Dolphins," said Superintendent Bill Sturgill at the Galax School Board's Jan. 12 meeting. "There's not an email address on the website. The number is an answering machine, and calling it daily does not get you anywhere."
You can almost hear Melanie Sumney waving her hands over the phone as she talks.
"Can you tell people we've got what we need, so they don't have to keep sending in money?" she asks.
Like most Twin County natives, she's both passionate about her cause and thoughtful of causing others any inconvenience.
Sumney is a family friend of E.W. "Dub" Shupe, a wheelchair-bound Lowe's employee who is in need of a track chair to improve his health and mobility.
Staff Report
INDEPENDENCE — The Grayson County Board of Supervisors has unanimously adopted an official resolution in strong opposition to Attorney General Mark Herring's decision to revoke concealed handgun permit recognition from 25 reciprocal states, effective Feb. 1.
More than 35,000 patrons visited the Blue Ridge Music Center near Galax last year to explore the Roots of American Music exhibit, listen to Midday Mountain Music and plan their parkway journey at the visitor center during the May through October season.
Total concert attendance at the amphitheater was 6,130, an increase of 10 percent from the 2014 concert season, said Rita Larkin of the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation, which coordinates programming at the center.
Staff Reports
INDEPENDENCE — Police say a woman found at the scene of a burning apartment on Thursday died as a result of injuries sustained from smoking while using oxygen.
The Independence Volunteer Fire Department was sent to extinguish a fire at Grayson Manor Apartments on Nichols Drive at 2:01 a.m. on Jan. 21.
Cpl. Matthew Adams of the Independence Police Department said the victim, Jessie Dancy, 71, was found in the apartment. He said the fire started as a result of Dancy smoking while using oxygen.
WOODLAWN – Fire crews from Hillsville and Galax responded twice to a single house fire in Woodlawn on Thursday morning.
According to Hillsville Volunteer Fire Department Assistant Chief Mike Musser, the first alarm for the fire was received at 4:45 a.m. Crews from HVFD and GVFD worked the scene on Mount Zion Road, off Coulson Church Road (Virginia 620), for about two hours.
Crews left the scene and received the second alarm at roughly 7:30 a.m., said Musser. Both crews responded again to the blaze, which resulted in a total loss of the home.
"We will come to your home, you will be handcuffed, and you will have to wear a jumpsuit."
Con artists are once again targeting the region with scam calls masquerading as law enforcement officers, claiming their targets missed jury duty and must pay or face arrest.
One Roanoke woman told the Better Business Bureau that the caller claimed he was from the sheriff's department and sounded very professional. At first she believed him.

Twice, the Eastern box turtle came up short in its crawl toward designation as Virginia's official state reptile.
This year, a creature of a different order will slither home with the prize if state Del. Brenda Pogge has her way.

Freezing temperatures are here, and while you're thinking about keeping your animals and tender vegetation safe, you should also be making sure frozen pipes won't ruin your home.
A frozen pipe can cause thousands of dollars of damage in a short period of time.
These recommendations from State Farm could help:
• Allow a slow drip from hot and cold faucets. This will relieve pressure on the system and allow water to circulate.
• Open cabinet doors to allow heat to get to pipes.
