hi all,
i tried now several tims to reset my Password but i receive no email at all. i tried also to create a new one but it says this email adress is already in use. so what can i do?
Hi Scheffsache1987,
What I can suggest with regards to this issue is that you get in touch with your email provider and ask them on how to put the Activision emails into your whitelist so that you can receive emails from them.
Hope this helps. Thanks.
When you try to reset your password are you doing it from the app or the login page for the forums? Reason I ask is I have verified that the password reset for the forums works, and it is the same account as for your app (COD account).

Special Memories ch. 1The ashen sky was flooded with pale clouds that day. They were gathered around in a warm embrace, as the kind wind cradled their soft cries all across the atmosphere, where anyone down below could hear their sorrow, as their tears littered the moisten soil.Special Memories ch. 1 by hannahweasley12
Perfect weather for a funeral...
The usually busy town of Bricksburg was quiet and lifeless. Every street was seemingly empty without a single moving thing in sight. Not even the sound of litter tapping on the asphalt could be heard.
Every civilian from every realm, as well as the MasterBuilders donned on traditional black suits and dresses, or whatever they thought to be appropriate for such occasion.
They had left their homes and gathered in Brickburg where it was being held, in a large field just outside the cemetery, under a large oak tree.
The perfect resting place for The Special.
Six of his very best friends had arrived, standing in their reserved spots in the front of the crowd, near where thei
alrigth these are you last olines for a very long time
-Red- No Zim don't start that again please for the sake of our sanity what is it?
-Zim- I just wanted to inform you that me and Amethyst will be off of the horrible earth Skool for a full earth week. It is something that the humans call spring break.
-Red- And this was worth telling us because?
-Zim- Don't you understand my tallest this means that we can have uninterrupted conversations about my progress on this filthy plant for a full earth week isn't that great?
-Purple- Ah look Zim we think it's time that you and Amethyst went on a vacation.
-Zim- What Zim needs no vacation.
-Red- What he meant to say was a ah...ah...a Reconition Mission.
-Zim and Purple- Ah what?
-Red- Yeah a Reconition Mission I can't believe you two haven't heard about this. It is were we send our top ranking invaders to another part of their assigned planet for one earth week in this case and they observe that area and don't report back to us until the week is over.
-Zim- It sounds...
-Red- Import yes it is Zim we would not send you on it unless we felt you were truly ready. So can we count on you Zim?
-Zim- Very well my tallest me and Amethyst shall go on this Reconition Mission (he saluted) Well Invader Zim signing off. (he cute the transmission)
-Red- Shoo that was close. Can you imagine having to deal with that pain in the but for a full earth week? (the two of them shuttered) Yeah we're just lucky that he was too busy doing whatever it was he was doing during that summer break thing to bug us.
-Purple- I know why couldn't he have done that stuff this time too?
-Red- Yeah I know it's so unfair.
-Purple- Dah and you know what else is unfair the fact that these stupid humans keep giving Zim and Amethyst to many breaks.
-Red- Yeah I know right I don't enjoy having to deal with him ever other earth month Jeez.
-An Irken Massive Crew Member- Ah sirs?
-Red- Yeah what is it now?
-An Irken Massive Crew Member- We have a incoming transmission from the Wisest.
-Purple- Aww what does she want?
-An Irken Massive Crew Member- I'm not sure sirs but it seems very important should I patch her throw.
-Red- Yeah might as well see what she wants this time.
-Wisest- (she appears on the screen) Greetings Tallest.
-Red- Yeah hi Wisest what do you want?
-Wisest- Oh not much sirs I was just wondering how everything is going over there you know with Zim and all?
-Purple- Everything's fine.
-Red- Yeah why do you ask?
-Wisest- Oh no reason it's just that well Kierra has been telling me that Amethyst has not been feeling very well lately.
-Red- Oh no, is she sick again?
-Wisest- Well no actually Kierra won't tell me exactly what is wrong with Amethyst because she says that Amethyst won't let her. So I was just wondering how everything is going over there.
-Purple- Everything is fine we just sent Zim on a Reconition Mission.
-Wisest- Hmm...A Reconition Mission? I've never heard of such a thing.
-Red- That's because I mad it up. Yeah we told Zim to go to another part of the earth for a full earth week and not report back to us untill the week is up. So he wouldn't bug us isn't that a great idea?
-Wisest- Yeah well it certainly is an interesting idea tallest and I can see how Zim could fall for something like that but don't you two realize that this was the time of earth year when the Matrixsys powers were at their best?
-Purple- Yeah but what does that have to do with anything Doom and the rest of the Matrixsys are gone right?
-Wisest- Yeah they're gone but still I don't think it was such a good idea to send the future queen on a fake noncomunitive mission around this time I really think you two should call Zim and...
-Red- Oh sorry Wisest you're breaking up where going throw a meteor shower AH! Gotta go. (he signaled for one of the Massive Crew Members to cute her off and the transmission ended)
-An Irken Massive Crew Member- Ah sirs do you really think it was wise to hang up on her like that?
-Red- Dah of course it was besides Utopians always over react. I mean come on nothing bad is going to happen.
-Purple- Yeah and more importantly I don't wan to miss out on going to Planet Carnival just because the Wisest has a feeling something bad is going to happen.
-Red- Yeah I wan't free doughnuts.
-Purple- And I wan't free notches. So set a course for Planet Carnival and lets enjoy this Zim free earth week.
-The Tallest- Woohoo!
ok i have some b ad news i cannot play your lines on my computer they won't work and i have tried everything so enjoease you can put your lines on youtube i will have to be red from now on i hope you don

When I installed Skype for Android (220.127.116.11) it indicated that video calling was compatible with this phone. Problem is I don't get any video call button, just the "Skype Call" and "Send IM" buttons. This is true whether I connect through the wireless network (Virgin Mobile Canada) or via WiFi.
Any ideas?
30-07-2011 18:59
we have to wait...currently the android version of Skype only supports 4 handsets...2 Sonys, one HTC & one Samsung. I'm waiting impatiently too...would have been nice to video Skype from the cottage last week, rather than just voice.

I can remember 2NE1's Vogue Girl photoshoot four, three years back, and I can't help but marvel at how they've grown!
I love the tribal "war paint" thing they have going on, and the flashy, printed clothes, with heavy accessories. ^^

Got attacked by Germany? Surrendered? No problem, American taxpayers will pay to build enough military equipment and go into harm's way themselves to get you your country back.
Got defeated in a world war? Well, never mind. American taxpayers will pay to rebuild your country after we beat you in a war that you started.
Got involved in some really shady financial dealings like credit default swaps with a group of slick haired, French-cuffed, Italian shoed, monogrammed-shirted, bonus-sucking thugs from AIG? There, there. Not to worry. Step right on over to the third window on the left and pick up your $90 Billion courtesy of American taxpayers.
How is it that someone like, say, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner (who was the President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank before he joined the Obama Administration) didn't know anything about any of this until last week?
Geithner didn't come to Treasury from being a teller at a local bank in Naperville, Illinois. He was the PRESIDENT OF THE NEW YORK FED. What the hell was he doing up there?
We know he wasn't doing his taxes. In fact, Geithner went to great lengths NOT to be an American taxpayer.
Here's a good idea: Instead of continuing to pick the pockets of American taxpayers, how about extending the tax cuts which are due to expire next year?
Call it a Taxpayer Retention Bonus.

Article: Exposure to Pulsed Magnetic Fields Enhances Motor Recovery in Cats After Spinal Cord Injury[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Animal model study of eight healthy commercial cats was conducted. To determine whether pulsed electromagnetic field (PMF) stimulation results in improvement of function after contusive spinal cord injury in cats. PMF stimulation has been shown to enhance nerve growth, regeneration, and functional recovery of peripheral nerves. Little research has been performed examining the effects of PMF stimulation on the central nervous system and no studies of PMF effects on in vivo spinal cord injury (SCI) models have been reported. PMF stimulation was noninvasively applied for up to 12 weeks to the midthoracic spine of cats with acute contusive spinal cord injury. The injury was produced using a weight-drop apparatus. Motor functions were evaluated with the modified Tarlov assessment scale. Morphologic analyses of the injury sites and somatosensory-evoked potential measurements were conducted to compare results between PMF-stimulated and control groups. There was a significant difference in locomotor recovery between the PMF-stimulated and control groups. Although not statistically significant, PMF-stimulated spinal cords demonstrated greater sparing of peripheral white matter and smaller lesion volumes compared to controls. Somatosensory-evoked potential measurements indicated that the PMF-stimulated group had better recovery of preinjury waveforms than the control group; however, this observation also was not statistically significant because of the small sample size. This preliminary study indicates that pulsed magnetic fields may have beneficial effects on motor function recovery and lesion volume size after acute spinal cord injury.
Article: Directed and enhanced neurite growth with pulsed magnetic field stimulation. Bioelectromagnetics[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pulsed magnetic field (PMF) stimulation was applied to mammalian neurons in vitro to influence axonal growth and to determine whether induced current would direct and enhance neurite growth in the direction of the current. Two coils were constructed from individual sheets of copper folded into a square coil. Each coil was placed in a separate water-jacketed incubator. One was energized by a waveform generator driving a power amplifier, the other was not energized. Whole dorsal root ganglia (DRG) explant cultures from 15-day Sprague-Dawley rat embryos were established in supplemented media plus nerve growth factor (NGF) at concentrations of 0-100 ng/mL on a collagen-laminin substrate. Dishes were placed at the center of the top and bottom of both coils, so that the DRG were adjacent to the current flowing in the coil. After an initial 12 h allowing DRG attachment to the substrate floor, one coil was energized for 18 h, followed by a postexposure period of 18 h. Total incubation time was 48 h for all DRG cultures. At termination, DRG were histochemically stained for visualization and quantitative analysis of neurite outgrowth. Direction and length of neurite outgrowth were recorded with respect to direction of the current. PMF exposed DRG exhibited asymmetrical growth parallel to the current direction with concomitant enhancement of neurite length. DRG cultures not PMF exposed had a characteristic radial pattern of neurite outgrowth. These results suggest that PMF may offer a noninvasive mechanism to direct and promote nerve regeneration.

ABSTRACT: Pulsed magnetic field (PMF) stimulation was applied to mammalian neurons in vitro to influence axonal growth and to determine whether induced current would direct and enhance neurite growth in the direction of the current. Two coils were constructed from individual sheets of copper folded into a square coil. Each coil was placed in a separate water-jacketed incubator. One was energized by a waveform generator driving a power amplifier, the other was not energized. Whole dorsal root ganglia (DRG) explant cultures from 15-day Sprague–Dawley rat embryos were established in supplemented media plus nerve growth factor (NGF) at concentrations of 0–100 ng/mL on a collagen–laminin substrate. Dishes were placed at the center of the top and bottom of both coils, so that the DRG were adjacent to the current flowing in the coil. After an initial 12 h allowing DRG attachment to the substrate floor, one coil was energized for 18 h, followed by a postexposure period of 18 h. Total incubation time was 48 h for all DRG cultures. At termination, DRG were histochemically stained for visualization and quantitative analysis of neurite outgrowth. Direction and length of neurite outgrowth were recorded with respect to direction of the current. PMF exposed DRG exhibited asymmetrical growth parallel to the current direction with concomitant enhancement of neurite length. DRG cultures not PMF exposed had a characteristic radial pattern of neurite outgrowth. These results suggest that PMF may offer a noninvasive mechanism to direct and promote nerve regeneration.

Article: Correlation of esophageal conductance measurements with aortic and left ventricular diameters and stroke volume[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Esophageal conductance measurements were correlated with hemodynamic events in 9 dogs chronically instrumented for measurement of left ventricular (LV) and aortic pressures, LV short axis and descending aortic diameters, and aortic blood flow. A four-electrode conductance catheter was positioned in the esophagus. Both an internal and an internal/external configuration were examined during anesthesia with hemodilution, pulmonary lavage and dobutamine infusion. LV stroke volume was altered by caval occlusion at each intervention. Stroke conductance was highly correlated to aortic or LV diameters and stroke volume over a range of diameters depending on the electrode configuration. Esophageal conductance measurements are directly influenced by local hemodynamic events adjacent to the site of measurement.
Article: A Box Coil for the Stimulation of Biological Tissue and Cells in vitro and in vivo by Pulsed Magnetic Fields[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: An alternative coil system to the Helmoholtz coil-pair is described for the stimulation of biological tissue and cells: a relatively large box coil made of copper or aluminum sheet stock. The design is based on the principal determinant of the induced electric field, namely, the magnetic vector potential (A), in the equation, [formula: see text]. The second term in the equation is needed when boundaries of the conducting medium are in close proximity to the region of interest, such as in a culture dish. An electric surface charge builds up on the boundaries to generate an electric field which cancels [formula: see text] at the surface. The effectiveness of the new coil is demonstrated in a study of the outgrowth enhancement of axons from rat embryonic dorsal root ganglia.
Article: Finite Element Model Determination of Correction Factors Used for Measurement of Aortic Diameter via Conductance[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Traditional methods for estimating the slope alpha and offset volume Vp for determining real-time chamber volume by the conductance catheter technique are not suited to measurements made in the aorta due to the relatively low resistivity of the aortic wall. We developed three distinct three-dimensional finite element models of the conductance catheter and surrounding tissues in order to predict alpha and Vp and to examine the nature of the electric field near the aortic wall. A heterogeneous isotropic model of the catheter, aorta and surrounding tissues accurately predicted the values of alpha and Vp. A homogeneous anisotropic model was developed to examine the effects of anisotropy of blood and the layers of the aortic wall on measured values of resistance, alpha and Vp. This model demonstrated that anisotropy of blood and aortic wall tissue can increase the values of both alpha and Vp. Finally, a three-dimensional homogeneous isotropic rectangular model allowed examination of the effects of catheter position. This model showed small effects of catheter position on measured resistance (9.7% increase) and larger effects on alpha (21.2% decrease) and Vp (41.9% increase). We conclude the following: the FEA models may lead to accurate estimate values of alpha and Vp in vivo. The unique anisotropic conductive properties of the layers of the aortic wall contribute to the high observed values of alpha and Vp in the aorta. Finally, catheter position has a proportionately greater effect on alpha and Vp than on measured resistance. The results of this study should assist in the determination of aortic mechanical properties using conductance catheter measurements of vessel dimension.

ABSTRACT: The goal of this investigation was to determine if the conductance catheter technique for chamber volume measurement could be applied in vivo to determine real-time phasic aortic segmental volume. A four-electrode conductance catheter was used to measure time-varying resistance of the descending thoracic aorta in open-chest, anesthetized dogs. Resistance was converted to segmental volume and the slope correction factor (α) and parallel conductance volume (V P ) were determined. The results showed excellent linear correlation between conductance and sonomicrometric segmental volume. The correction factors α and V P were found to be empirically related to average vessel diameter. The relatively high values for the slope correction factor (α=4.59±0.17 SEM) were found to be primarily related to low-resistivity shunt paths probably originating in the periadventitial aortic wall and to a lesser extent to changes in flow-induced increases in blood resistivity, hematocrit, catheter position, and other adjacent tissue resistivity. The results demonstrate that correction factors empirically derived from measurements of mean aortic diameter could be used to determine absolute real-time phasic segmental volume, cross-sectional area, or diameter. The conductance technique may possess the same potential for determining aortic mechanical properties which has already been demonstrated for determining ventricular mechanical properties.
Article: Effects of physical parameters on the cylindrical model for volume measurement by conductance[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Despite its undisputed utility for determining changes in ventricular pressure-volume relationships, the conductance catheter technique has not been proven reliable for measuring absolute volume. This limitation is due to violations of the assumptions inherent in the cylindrical model on which the method is based (i.e., homogeneous electric field and no leakage current). The purpose of this investigation was to relate cylindrical model correction factors to the physical environment of the catheter and to the cylindrical equation. Physical measurements of saline-filled, nonconductive cylinders using a four-electrode conductance catheter were compared with a three-dimensional finite element model of the physical apparatus. These measurements were incorporated into a parallel conductance model to relate physical parameters to corrections in the cylindrical equation for volume measurement. Excellent agreement between measured and modeled data was found. Results demonstrated a nonlinear relationship between the field nonhomogeneity correction factor (α) and cylinder diameter. The relationship between α and diameter was consistent with a theoretical extrapolation of cylinder diameter toward infinity. An inverse relationship between α and the parallel conductance volume (V P) was also clarified. The parallel conductance model was able to demonstrate opposite effects of the physical presence of the catheter body and electrodes, which tended to cancel out any net effect on measured conductance. Results of this investigation and the developed finite element model clarify the nature of the correction terms in the cylindrical model and may lead to greater application of the conductance technique.
Article: In Vitro and finite-element model investigation of the conductance technique for measurement of aortic segmental volume[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This investigation examined the feasibility of applying the conductance catheter technique for measurement of absolute aortic segmental volume. Aortic segment volume was estimated simultaneously in vitro by using the conductance catheter technique and sonomicrometer crystals. Experiments were performed in five isolated canine aortas. Vessel diameter and pressure were altered, as were the conductive properties of the surrounding medium. In addition, a three-dimensional finite-element model of the vessel and apparatus was developed to examine the electric field and parallel conductance volume under different experimental conditions. The results indicated that in the absence of parallel conductance volume, the conductance catheter technique predicted absolute changes in segmental volumes and segmental pressure-volume relationships that agreed closely with those determined by sonomicrometry. The introduction of parallel conductance volume added a significant offset error to measurements of volume made with the conductance catheter that were nonlinearly related to the conductive properties of the surrounding medium. The finite-element model was able to predict measured resistance and parallel conductance volume, which correlated strongly with those measured in vitro. The results imply that absolute segmental volume and distensibility may be determined only if the parallel conductance volume is known. If the offset volume is not known precisely, the conductance catheter technique may still be applied to measure absolute changes in aortic segmental volume and compliance.

ABSTRACT: We have previously shown that neurite outgrowth from 6-day chick embryo dorsal root ganglia (DRG) in vitro was stimulated when nerve growth factor (NGF) and pulsed magnetic fields (PMF) are used in combination. 392 DRGs were studied in a field excited by a commercial PMF generator. We have now analyzed an additional 416 DRGs exposed to very similar PMF's produced by an arbitrary wavefrom generator and power amplifier. We reproduced our previous findings that combination of NGF and bursts of asymmetric, 220 microsecond-wide, 4.0 mT-peak pulses induced significantly (p < 0.05) greater outgrowth than NGF alone, that fields without NGF do not significantly alter outgrowth, and that, unlike NGF alone, 4.0 mT fields and NGF can induce asymmetric outgrowth. The asymmetry does not seem to have a preferred orientation with respect to the induced electric field. Analysis of the data for the entire 808 DRGs confirms these findings. Importantly, we find similar results for pulse bursts repeated at 15 or 25 Hz.
Article: Spherical Finite Element Analysis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Finite element analysis techniques are applied to the sphere. The sphere is subdivided into non-rectangular linear hexahedra except at the polar axis, where they are wedges. An automatic mesh generation computer program, based on the work of Sepulveda (1984), is used to assign node and element numbers. Equation numbers are assigned to minimize the bandwidth of the "stiffness matrix". To avoid computation artifacts, it is important to subdivide the sphere into elements whose sides are approximately equal. Two examples are presented, (a) the ideal magnet, and (b) a three-layered conducting sphere. To demonstrate the versatility of the method described in the paper, a low-resistivity region was introduced in the three-layered conducting sphere to show how the equipotential and current flow lines are affected
Article: Comparison of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy with dual-photon absorptiometry and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in the measurement of thoracic vertebral bone mineral density: Compressive force versus bone mineral[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMRS) measurements were made on human T2 and T3 vertebral bodies. The bone mineral content (BMC) of isolated vertebral bodies minus the posterior elements and disks was measured using (1) NMRS on a 3.5 T, 85 mm bore GE Medical Systems NT-150 superconducting spectrometer, (2) a Lunar Corporation DPX-L dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanner in an anterior-posterior (AP) orientation, (3) a Norland Corporation XR26 DXA scanner, also in an AP direction, and (4) a Norland Corporation model 2600 dual-photon absorptiometry (DPA) densitometer in both the AP and superior-inferior (SI) directions. Vertebral body volumes were measured using a water displacement technique to determine volume bone mineral densities (VBMD). They were then compressed to failure using an electrohydraulic testing device, followed by ashing in a muffle furnace at 700 °C for 18 h. Correlations of BMC between NMRS and DPA, DXA and ashing were excellent (0.96⩽r⩽0.99); in a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, means were not statistically different at ap level of 0.757. The correlations of VBMD between NMRS and the other methods were not as good (0.83⩽r⩽0.95); in a one-way ANOVA test, means were not statistically different at ap level of 0.089. BMC was a better predictor of ultimate compressive failure than VBMD for all six methods. For NMRS, the regression coefficient for BMC wasr 2=0.806, compared withr 2=0.505 for VBMD. NMRS may prove an alternative to present methods of determing bone mineral.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to examine the force-deformation characteristics of football helmets subjected to compressive loading on the crown surface. Tests were conducted at quasi-static and dynamic rates of loading. Energies were computed from the force-deformation data. The padding systems represented by the helmets differed in their ability to absorb energy under varying loading rates. Helmets using pneumatic or combination pneumatic-foam padding systems were the most successful while suspension helmets were able to absorb the least amount of energy. The evaluation of energy absorption characteristics is an alternative method of describing the effectiveness of football helmets in preventing head injury.
Article: Measurement of Current Density Induced in Cat Brain During Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study measures in vivo current densities induced in the brains of fifteen cats during transcranial magnetic stimulation. This was essential for determining regions of excitation. Three magnetic stimulators were used in this study. Two of the stimulators were constructed in-house; one used a 5-cm diameter coil that was driven with a damped sinusoidal signal; the other used the same coil and was driven with an undamped sinusoidal signal. The damped system was operated at a frequency of 620 Hz and damping time constant of 0.912 ms. It generated a peak magnetic field of 140 gauss at the center of the coil. The undamped system was operated at a frequency of 3 KHz and generated a peak magnetic field of 28 gauss. The third system is a Cadwell MES-10 stimulator. Results showed that current distribution patterns of the laboratory-made stimulators were similar. Thus, a coil driven with a damped sinusoidal input induces the same current distribution as when it is driven with an undamped sinusoid. Also, current density induced in the tissue was found to be maximum near the edge of the coil and decreased as the edge of the coil moved away from the region of interest. This corresponds to mathematical models previously developed (Guidi, 1989; Ferguson, 1989; Roth, 1990; Reuter, 1988). Inducing maximum current at a region, however, does not necessarily imply tissue stimulation in that particular region. Neurophysiologic factors, such as nerve fiber diameter and orientation, infuence neural excitability. Thus, it is necessary to consider these parameters during magnetic stimulation.

ABSTRACT: Nuclear magnetic resonance phosphorus spectroscopy has been proposed as a new method to measure the mineral content of bone as a diagnostic and monitoring tool for osteoporosis. Preliminary studies have been performed on a Nicolet NT-150 NMR Spectrometer, using a 3.5-T superconducting magnet. This paper describes the design and construction of a low-field spectrometer for the human wrist. The 0.3256-T steady magnetic field is provided by a well-shimmed small-size permanent magnet made of neodymium-iron-boron. An IBM-PC-compatible computer is used both as host and post-processor to an Analogic AN9100A NMR Spectrometer. The narrower spectral linewidth expected at the lower magnetic field is expected to help compensate for sensitivity loss due to the weaker magnetic field. (C)1990Aspen Publishers, Inc.

A description is given of the design and construction of a low-field spectrometer for the human wrist. It uses a small-size permanent magnet of neodymium-iron-boron. The questions of whether a low-field spectrometer is sensitive enough to measure the phosphorus mineral content of bone and to what extent the phosphorus in soft tissue affects the measurement of bone mass are discussed
Conference Paper: Finite element analysis of impedance models[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The numerical solution of Poisson's equation, which describes the dielectric and/or conductive properties of biological tissue, is presented. Only two-dimensional problems are demonstrated; the third dimension is considered to be of unit length, with no boundaries at the two ends. The finite-element approach can handle any kind of nonisotropy and has the advantage that electrodes can be placed anywhere with very slight changes in the computer program. Further applications of the method are considered

It's hard enough to fumble through a dozen keys to find the one that opens your front door; but doing so while holding your child or an armload of groceries can feel like a Herculean task. The 3-in-1 Keyless Entry Doorknob solves this typical problem in a number of ways. By replacing your standard doorknob with this lock, you'll have the choice to unlock the door with the press of a button on a keyfob remote, a custom pin code that has programmed into the keypad, or with a traditional a key. The keypad can even be temporarily illuminated in the dark to make punching in your secret code a breeze. The 3-in-1 Keyless Entry Doorknob has a heavy duty, satin nickel finish and requires no drilling or running of power cords during installation. The unit uses four AA batteries, sold separately, which provide enough power for 18,000 successful activations per set of batteries.
For the ultimate in convenience, integrate this lock as part of an Insteon home control system with the Insteon Lock Controller (sold separately).
Remote Access
You'll receive one remote control keyfob with this lock. It comes complete with anti-scan code-hopping technology. Additional features include distinct audible tones for locking, unlocking, jams, and low battery. Since it utilizes radio-frequency technology, you won't even need to aim the remote at the lock for it to release the lockset. Your entire family or small business can take advantage of the easy security of the RF Remote Door Knob, which accepts up to 15 different RF remote controls, each sold separately.
Keypad Access
You set the entry codes yourself, the only people that will know the codes are the ones you give it to. Codes can be anywhere from 2 to 8 digits. You can program as many as six different entry codes, each of which can be added or deleted individually. This feature makes it easy to enter temporary codes for houseguests, maids or repairmen. Programming is a simple push-button process, and takes only minutes. And don't even think about anyone trying to figure out your code as each unit sounds a warning alarm after four failed attempts.
Key Access
Each system includes two conventional keys for standard operation.
The locksets are also incredibly secure. They're built with a 5 Pin SC1 Keyway, solid brass cylinder and a gear with clutch drive system to prevent wear-out.
No wiring is involved in installation, and this keyless door lock will fit in most doors, since it comes with an adjustable backset (2 3/8" to 2 3/4").

- Highly unreliable! Review by Val
Highly unreliable!
I purchased a QKK-01SN deadknob from Smarthome. It worked fine for a few days until the lock started exhibiting issues whereby it cannot be unlocked from the first attempt. It usually takes more than 10 attempts before it fully unlocks. The problem got even worse as often I'm unable to unlock the deadknob using keypad at all, and am forced to use the key. This renders the use of this product completely impossible as per advertised feature set. All attempts to resolve this issue directly with the manufacturer have proven themselves useless. The manufacturer was not willing to exchange the faulty unit, and kept blaming INSTEON for protocol interop issues even though the problem is clearly of a mechanical nature. The whole experience with this deadknob and its manufacturer/distributor (MiProducts Corp) has been very frustrating!

Review of 51893sn
Works great with via the rf remote, and also the MorningLinc controlled by my 2412u. It works every time, wher I'm using the keypad, the remote, and my Insteon network.
One thing to note, and why this is getting 3 stars from me...
This does not fit into any door of the 4 external doors in my home without swapping the location of the deadbolt and the knob. The keypad outside is not an issue, but the battery compartment and electronics that go inside are about 3/4 too tall to allow for the knob on the bottom and deadbolt on top like it should be. This is a SERIOUS design flaw.
If possible, I would highly recommend getting either the deadbolt QF by itself or the deadbolt/level BQF combo. I just got the BQF version on sale here at Smarthome and will be selling this knob on eBay for whatever I can to help offset the cost.
Wish I had just got the deadbolt to begin with.

The keypad is the only part of this unit that I have not had a problem with after 2 months.
The lock tab center of door knob frequently sticks and will not turn by hand without turning the knob several times to free it. It does work via remote in this condition though... that is when the remote works.
I have this on a painted metal-clad hollow door and the RF range is horrible, even with a piece of insulation stuck behind the antenna as recommended in the instructions, and even with routing the antenna outside of the housing. The RF key fob and Insteon MorningLinc only work around 12 inches away!!
Wish I had gotten around to returning it in time.

Annual Meeting 2015 Program Description
featuring Rev. Eric Elnes, Ph.D.
Author, minister,
internet television host Dr. Eric Elnes hasn't been so excited about being a
person of faith and a member of the United Church of Christ in over thirty
years. His hope doesn't arise from
overlooking the real, serious struggles experienced by the faithful and their
faith communities. Rather, he insists,
it is precisely because of our struggles that we are now in the best position
to enter a "wide and wondrous clearing in the heart of life's Dark Wood."
Over the course of our time together, Dr.
Elnes will take us on a journey into the Dark Wood a place of struggle and
uncertainty feared by the poet Dante but that the ancient Christian mystics
knew to be the central place where revelation and hope is experienced. By exploring the Dark Wood "gifts" of
emptiness, uncertainty, getting lost, and misfit community in their biblical
and modern expressions, we will find ourselves - and our denomination - poised
to enter a beautiful clearing that some are calling The Great Convergence.
3:30 pm Keynote: Courage In The Struggle for Justice and
Peace, Part 1: The Gift of Uncertainty
Religion does us a
disservice when it promises us certainty. Life is messy and no amount of
doctrine or dogma changes this.
Curiously, all of the heroes of both the Old and New Testaments lived in
the midst of high uncertainty. The only
people who consider certainty and absence of struggle to be a high value in the
Bible are its villains! As Brian McLaren
has observed, "Certainty is overrated."
In this keynote we will explore how Uncertainty may become one of our
greatest gifts.
7:45 pm Worship: The Gift of Emptiness On a quantum level,
the human body (and material world) is 99.9999% empty space. The heavens above us are even emptier. When the world hits us hard, our lives can
feel terribly empty. Yet the spiritual
path embodied by Jesus reveals an extraordinary fullness within emptiness a
fullness we can draw upon for strength and courage.
10:45 am Keynote: Courage In The Struggle for
Justice and Peace, Part 2: The Gift of Misfit CommunityThe drama of 20th
C Christendom was largely played out between the twin poles of Christian
liberalism and evangelical fundamentalism, each with massive edifices of dogma,
piety, and ecclesiology that were opposing responses to modern science,
technology, and culture in the Western industrial world. As Western civilization moved increasingly
into the post-modern era starting in the late 20th C, it triggered a
massive Exodus within the liberal and conservative Church which set the stage
for the new, post-Christendom drama of the 21st Century a drama
that some are calling Convergence. The
major players within the new Christian Convergence are refugees (or "misfits")
from Christian liberalism and conservatism who are increasingly discovering each
other as they make their way across the post-modern Wilderness. Of all the Christian denominations, the UCC
is best situated to welcome these refugees and help catalyze a greater movement
of Spirit than has been seen in the U.S. in over a century. Within this
Convergence, these pilgrim refugees are finding common ground and unique gifts
that each group brings that the other has been looking for. Together, they are joining their gifts to
build a New Tabernacle a new Way of Life to serve as a place to meet each
other and God. Like the Tabernacle of
old, however, this new meeting-place is not a fixed destination, but a mobile
one, best-suited for leading these pilgrim refugees into realms they have not
yet envisioned in response to the Holy Spirit.
6:30 pm Fireside Chat with Eric Elnes The Great
Convergence: Implications for Our Lives and Our Churches
7:30 pm "Darkwood Brew Unplugged" Worship: The Gift
of Getting Lost
Darkwood Brew is a convergence point online
(www.darkwoodbrew.org) and
offline where people of faith and other spiritual seekers gather to find
community and companionship, as well as encouragement and inspiration for the
journey through life's Dark Wood. Brewing together ancient Christian
mystical practice (lectio divina), modern interactive web technology, jazz,
biblical scholarship, and guests from around the world, Darkwood Brew explores
the intersection of soul, culture, faith, and justice.
In this Darkwood Brew
Unplugged experience, Darkwood Brew unplugs from the internet in order to plug
in with us in Wisconsin! With
world-renowned jazz composer/pianist, Chuck Marohnic, Dr. Elnes will invite us
into God's presence, into each others' presence, and into the present moment
where our soul connects with the world.
Rev. Dr. Eric Elnes is the Senior Pastor of Countryside Community Church (UCC) in Omaha, NE. He is also the host of Darkwood Brew, a weekly, interactive webcast that gathers people from around the world for an engaging exploration of Convergence Christianity using a blend of ancient Christian mystical practice (lectio divina), modern interactive web technology, world-class jazz, arts, biblical scholarship, special guests from around the world via Skype. With a Ph.D. in Biblical Studies from Princeton Theological Seminary, Elnes is the author of several books and publications including, The Phoenix Affirmations: A New Vision for the Future of Christianity (Jossey-Bass, 2006) and a book on experiential worship called Igniting Worship: The Seven Deadly Sins (Abingdon, 2004), and his forthcoming book, Gifts of the Dark Wood: Seven Paths Beyond Religious Certainty That Point A Way Home (Abingdon, 2015).
Dr. Elnes also helped lead a 2,500 walk from Phoenix to Washington, DC, in 2006 to promote awareness of progressive Christian faith and practice and meet with Christians at a grassroots to hear their hopes and dreams for the future of faith in America. His journey, which is the subject of a feature-length film, The Asphalt Gospel, is recounted in his book, Asphalt Jesus: Finding a New Christian Faith on the Highways of America (Jossey-Bass, 2007).

Regular niggas, you always cater to sluts
You always wasting my time, you always faking the funk
Lyric Meaning
Isaiah Rashad is saying these "Regular Niggas" in the game is always wasting his time. Perhaps that's why he decided to sign with TDE, to get away from those people who used to waste his time.
"Faking the funk" could be a reference to a song by Main Source – Fakin' the Funk. The term "Faking the funk" is used to describe somebody that doesn't show their true personality, doesn't keep it real, or pretends to be something they're not. In the case of some rappers, pretending to be tough or hard when they're actually soft.

text: > The division of the route of the Camino Francés into stages is purely arbitrary, though for most people it is constrained by the location of the refugios, whether they want to use the opportunities for sightseeing, particularly in the big cities., and whether they want rest days or half rest days. For example, there are no refugios between St.-Jean-Pied-de-Port and Roncesvalles, so you cannot do a lesser distance, and few people are inclined to do more! Pamplona, Burgos and Leon all have enough sights to fill several days if you have the time. If you would be interested in taking the digital photographs for any other parts of the Camino in France or Spain, please get in touch by Email We would welcome your feedback - particularly if you can identify any of the flowers I was keen to photograph but hopeless at naming. We are most grateful to Verena Moser for translating many of our pages into German , to John Butt who translated all of the pages into Spanish in under a month, to Hideko Suzuki for the many Japanese pages , to Mila Torndahl for the Swedish pages , to Gilles Franqueville and Laure Castillou for the first French pages and to Barry Woudenberg and Arno Cuppen for the Dutch pages - these pages are indicated with a link in the list below. If you would like to help in translations to French, Italian, Dutch or any other language, please let us know Buen camino to all our visitors - and please don't forget to register when you have reached Santiago! The waymarking along the route is, in general, extremely good. In France, the route from St.-Jean-Pied-de-Port is part of the long-distance GR65 footpath, and is marked by the red and white flash of the GR network. There are separate red and white to indicate changes of direction, and a red line crossed with a white one to indicate that you have taken the wrong turning. In Spain, the official mark is the stylised scallop shell on a blue background, which is often placed on the walls of houses well above eye level to indicate the route through villages and towns. In open country, one frequently encounters these signs are often found embedded in small concrete pillars. There are also signboards with this mark at the top, a pedestrian sign in the middle, and a direction arrow at the bottom; these are much used at road crossings. The red and white GR flashes are also found from time to time in Spain. However, the most common mark is a yellow arrow, which may be painted on trees, rocks, kerbstones, storm water gutters etc. Sometimes a yellow stripe is painted on trees as a continuation marker for reassurance. Some other waymarks incorporating the scallop shell can be found in the photographs. Waymarking can never be perfect - logging operations appeared to have removed all the marks at two points on this trip, though it was reasonably obvious which way the path continued. For pictures of many of the different varieties of waymarks, please visit our waymarks page This page has had ......... visitors including yourself since its major revision on 15 November 2004.

in response to TiffanyNicoleThe ipad Kindle app looks really good but it's not as flashy as the iBook app. But the text looks just as good. It even does a thing or two (like background color setting) that iBook doesn't. You can get free stuff for both just to check them out and see how they look. iBook let's you download free previews of most books (about a chapter long) which you can also use to check it out. The iBook has the double page view in landscape mode (though I prefer the large single page view of portrait mode), fancier graphics (it looks like a book and the pages can turn like a book, although I never use that because it requires a sweep and who can be bothered when you can just tap) and can handle illustrations (make sure you download the free Winnie the Pooh book that Apple offers as an excellent example of what iBook can do) which I'm not sure the Kindle app can.
So if it's cheaper on one rather than the other or available on one rather than the other, then have no fear of using whichever. The text, as I said, looks identical in both and other than some razzmatazz graphics in iBook, they pretty much work the same.
red555 May 3, 2010 9:01 AM
in response to StevePug2I agree. I am currently reading on iBook, but kindle seems fine too.
Frodo B May 3, 2010 4:41 PM
in response to TiffanyNicoleI love my iPad however I prefer to read books on my Kindle. I find that I stress my eyes less reading the Kindle's non-backlit screen.
When I go on vacation I will probably just take my iPad and not the Kindle as well.
erik graham May 3, 2010 5:09 PM
in response to TiffanyNicoleI am completely indifferent. I find them to be pretty much the same, especially once you start reading. On the plus side for the kindle app is its better home screen ( the whole bookshelf thing in iBooks is just a lame gimmick - and a waste of screen real-estate). On the plus side for iBook, you don't have to leave the app to buy books ( a feature kindle could easily add and most likely will soon ).
Note : I'm comparing the apps on the iPad. As a book reader, the kindle is much better. It's lighter weight, easier on the eyes, and has much better battery life. And for those who say 10 hours of iPad battery life is enough, your missing one key point. What happens when you pick up up your iPad to start reading and discover the battery is at 2%? That just seems to never happen to me on my kindle.
Rand50 Sep 21, 2013 10:29 PM
in response to red555
I recommend getting multiple reader apps. iBooks, Kindle, Nook, etc. The reason being that there may be books that are available in one format but not the others. Since the iPad supports multiple formats (via apps) and the other devices may not, then the iPad is the best choice for a device.

Deputy Treasurer Keith Rodenhuis sent out an e-mail last week claiming he has the support of the GOP in his bid to become the county's next treasurer-tax collector.
There's just one problem.
The OC GOP endorsed his opponent, Shari Freidenrich, Huntington Beach's treasurer.
The subject line of the Oct. 20 email from Rodenhuis' campaign reads: "The GOP supports fellow Republican: Deputy Treasurer Keith Rodenhuis for OC Treasurer"
Further down in the e-mail Rodenhuis lists a series of endorsements. "Keith is proudly supported by the California Republican Assembly, Hon. Tom Fuentes, Chairman Emeritus Republican Party of Orange County, Hon. Lois Lundberg, Chairman Emeritus Republican Party of Orange County and the Orange County Young Republicans."
"Did my email say the OC Republican Party?" Rodenhuis asked.
"The claim that he has the support of the GOP is inaccurate," said Scott Baugh, chairman of the Republican Party of Orange County.
"It's wrong and inappropriate," Baugh said.
"I am endorsed by the California Republican Assembly, the largest GOP grassroots organization in California, a group once called the conscience of the Republican Party by President Ronald Reagan," Rodenhuis said. "Nobody owns the phrase "Grand Ol' Party" and it is preposterous to say I am not supported by Republicans. I respect Scott, but we clearly have an honest disagreement over who owns the term 'GOP.'"
This isn't the first time Rodenhuis has been accused of stretching the truth.
His biography on his campaign website reads "He has been registered with the National Association of Security Dealers, the Security and Exchange Commission and has earned his Series 7, 3 and 31 licenses." But he is not currently registered, according to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Broker Check, which maintains lists of current brokers and those registered within the last two years.
"I'm not trying to be confusing," Rodenhuis said. He took the license tests when he worked for Morgan Stanley just after September 11, 2001, he said. He worked there for about two years before moving to State Farm. But after leaving State Farm, he said, the licenses expired and he does not currently hold those licenses.
"My statement says I was licensed with the SEC, which is true," Rodenhuis said.
Rodenhuis told Total Buzz he does not know what needs to be done to make his licenses current. He said he took the tests and after that corporate handled licensing issues.
"Now you have people sending you stuff to do a hit piece on me. That's just preposterous," Rodenhuis said. "That's politicking at its worst."
Rodenhuis was the top-vote getter in the June primary, a feat many attributed to his ballot title of deputy treasurer. Running as deputy treasurer may be all that matters to voters for a second time around, said Adam Probolsky, a Republican pollster.

100 point score based on reviews from various critics.
User Score
5 point score based on user ratings.
Not an American user?
DescriptionBased on the novel by James Herbert, The Rats is a game combining strategy elements and a text adventure as you control various characters in the battle to control and kill a huge swarm of rats overrunning London. If the rats spread further than London into the rest of Britain then it is game over. You start the game as Foskins looking at a map of London with white squares flashing showing reported sightings of rats. Here you can see the report, deploy forces or enable research with Howard.
You have various forces to deploy to infected areas like rat-killers, police, firemen or the Army (a last resort) and these must be managed carefully as you only have a limited amount. You have limited equipment that can be used as well and these include offence equipment like gas, rifles and dogs as well as defences like shields and suits. Certain equipment can only be used by certain types of forces. As you deploy you can initiate research with Howard and this includes origins, defence, offence and nature.
As you battle to save London with Foskins, occasionally the adventure part of the game interrupts and you can take the role of major characters like Harris, Howard and Foskins as well as minor characters from the book like Pauline Blakely trying to save herself and her baby. The situation each character find themselves in, is an encounter with the rats and their battle for survival. The screen has text describing the situation and there are various options to select like goto, take and attack and as this part is real-time you don't have long to make these decisions or face death with graphics of rats attacking the screen.
Letting the rats spread from London, the major characters dieing or your forces depleted means it's game over and you receive your score. The keyboard is used to control the game.

Academic journal article Harvard International Review
Africa Redefined: A Call for Internal Initiative
Article excerpt
Located only blocks away from St. James's palace in London's West End, the neoclassical mansion of Lancaster House was perhaps an unlikely venue for the final act of a century-long era of colonial rule and occupation. However, beginning on December 10, 1979 the house played host to a conference of British and Rhodesian leaders who negotiated the terms of independence for the last African territory remaining under European colonial rule. It took the leaders three months to lay out the arrangement, but when a treaty was finally signed on December 21, 1979, there was a clear agreement that Great Britain would extricate itself from domestic affairs in Rhodesia. The curtain had fallen on Europe's 200 year colonial presence in Africa.
The creation of the sovereign state of Rhodesia, which would later be renamed Zimbabwe, was the last independence movement in a 30 year wave of decolonization efforts that began when Libya threw out its Italian occupiers in 1951. For the first time in history, Africa was comprised solely of independent, sovereign states.
But it soon became evident that such declarations of independence would not alone be able to erode the mindset of European dominance that had marked the previous two centuries. While Africa was now ostensibly comprised of autonomous states, the major world powers continued to treat it with a significant degree of paternalism--as a region to be controlled, influenced, and exploited. Indeed, during the Cold War and well into the 1990s, Africa's colonial reputation as a continent demanding a considerable, persistent presence and influence from outside actors was still quite firmly intact.
Such was Africa's situation as it entered the 21st century. However, since that time the international community's relationship with Africa has markedly changed. Now, rather than seeking to control and influence the continent, outside actors are beginning to compete with each other for access to Africa's resource markets, while also giving Africa the credit to make significant decisions for itself. …

Give a Hoot Cupcakes Recipe
Hoot hoot! Party guests will be "eyeing up" these treats long before you serve dessert! They make a lasting impression and only require six ingredients to make.
- Cupcakes of your choice
- 1 can (16 ounces) chocolate frosting
- Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup vanilla frosting
- Chocolate-covered peppermint candies
- Small banana-shaped hard candies (Runts)
- 1. Frost cupcakes with chocolate frosting.
- 2. Split the sandwich cookies in half, keeping the cream side whole (microwaving a few cookies at a time for several seconds helps to keep the cream side solid). Place the cookies, cream side up, on the cupcakes for eyes. Cut remaining cookie pieces crosswise into thirds; discard the center third and set the rest aside.
- 3. With the vanilla frosting, attach the chocolate-covered mints for eyes; pipe pupils.
- 4. Place reserved cookie pieces above eyes for the ears. Pipe chocolate frosting on ears and around eyes. For beaks, press yellow candies between eyes. Yield: varies.

I have never had my doctor ever tell me to do something like that myself. Although, I might actuallly prefer it!

Mine isn't until Wednesday but they did it for me with DS and implied they would be doing it again this time. I've never heard of them asking you to do it yourself so that's new to me. I'm sure they are aware of any risks involved with you doing it yourself, though, and they wouldn't ask you to do it if there was a chance of it getting messed up somehow.

I DID IT! I lost 100 lbs. in 2015!
My doc haven't even mentioned this test to me! Is this something every preggo does nearing the end of pregnancy, or they will only have me take it for a specific reason?

Unless you have no idea where your vagina is and can't figure out how to stick a swab up in there, I'm sure you "did" it correctly. It's pretty hard to mess that up.
