I, like many others saw the picture floating around Pinterest for Mexican Stuffed Shells from thewaytohisheart blog and I knew I had to try making it.
I am so glad that I did. My husband was glad too!
It is actually fairly simple and the taste is really great.
A great combination of Mexican food with pasta without being too much like a pasta recipe with some taco seasoning mixed in.
After eating this one time, Channa has requested that I make this again soon. Which is odd, because he isn't a pasta eater, at all. So that's how I knew this is a keeper!
The only change that I made from the original blog post is that I didn't have taco sauce, so I just used all salsa. It came out just fine!
Be prepared to have a wonderful, filling meal, that you will fight over for the leftovers!
Mexican Stuffed
Prep: 20 minutes Bake: boiling time + 30 minutes Servings: 4-6
1 lb. ground beef
1 package taco seasoning
4 oz. cream cheese
18 jumbo pasta shells
2 1/2 cups salsa
2 cups shredded cheese (I used a cheddar/mozzarella mix)
Green onions
Sour cream
Preheat oven to 350°
Prepare shells in boiling water according to package directions.
Brown ground beef in a frying pan with taco seasoning.
Drain beef; add cream cheese, cover, and let simmer until cheese is melted.
Set aside.
Drain pasta shells.
Set out individually so they don't stick together (I used my cutting board)
In a 9x13 baking dish, spread half of the salsa out over the bottom.
Spoon a tablespoon of the beef mixture into each shell.
Place into the baking dish over the salsa.
After all shells are filled, top with remaining salsa and cover with foil.
Bake for 30 minutes; then remove foil, spread shredded cheese evenly over the top and continue baking another 15 minutes until all cheese is melted.
Remove from oven, serve with green onions and sour cream; if desired.

A lot of pain that occurs in the upper back and neck is due to muscles becoming too tight. The tight muscles do not allow as much blood into them as is needed and therefore they do not get the energy and nutrients they need to stay healthy. Therefore tight muscles weaken and then tighten up further, so a viscous circle has begun. There are many things that can cause tight muscles, including:
Another possible cause of upper back pain is Scheuermann's Disease, a hereditary disease that mainly affects growing boys. It is the most common postural abnormality of the spine in the younger athlete. Children complain of acute pain in the upper back and in later years the upper spine (thoracic) may become more rounded (this is called kyphosis).
Physiotherapy treatment for common upper back problems may include joint mobilization and soft tissue therapy including sports massage, trigger pointing and stretching techniques. Ultrasound and heat therapy may also be used to assist in relaxing the muscles. Taping may also be used to help correct posture. Our physiotherapists will also give you postural advice and will educate you on preventative strategies. Strengthening exercises for the back will also play an important part in your rehabilitation program.

Asus P5Q3 Review
Reviewed by: RA1D
Reviewed on: November 27, 2008
Price: $150
When speaking of motherboards, Asus is always a name that comes up. They roll out a product line that spans the entire spectrum of price points, from budget to high performance. Whether i'ts Intel or AMD, 790i or X48, DDR2 or DDR3, Asus makes it. Additionally, the reputation they've earned for making high quality motherboards ring loud throughout the enthusiast scene. Few can argue the attention to detail that remains consistent in all their merchandise.
The P45 Express is the last in a long line of successful Intel based chipsets made specifically for Socket 775 motherboards. It provides high end features and makes them available to the mainstream market by giving consumers an affordable platform that supports the latest technology. Asus makes 12 different P45 models and today I'll review the increasingly popular Asus P5Q3 which gives you 45nm CPU support, a 1600 front side bus, up to 16GB of DDR3-1800 compatibility, and CrossFireX support. If you are in the market for an affordable motherboard with lots of features, you will definitely want to check out this review.
Closer Look:
Asus packs the P5Q3 in a handsome blue box that proudly displays all of its selling points. The top cover shows displays notable features such as the EPU Six Engine utility, DDR3-1800 support, solid capacitor use, and Express Gate. Flip the package over and you'll find a display of additional features that the P5Q3 provides.
The bundle provided by Asus is small but meets expectations for the price point of this product. Besides the user's guide, you'll receive some data cables and a SATA power cable. Asus also threw in the Q-Connector kit for an easier way to hook up front panel connections.
Closer Look:
If you are a regualr OverclockersClub review reader, you'll recognize the layout of the P5Q3 as it is almost identical to the P5Q Pro motherboard I reviewed earlier this month. In fact, the only aesthetic difference between the two boards is the color of the DIMM sockets while the rest of the components are indistinguishable. And just as I said in the P5Q Pro review, the board has a great layout. Asus continues to use black PCB which looks absolutely fantastic. The majority of the data and power connection ports are placed along the edge of the board which provides easier installation and removal of cables and aids in cable management. I would like to see a couple more fan headers on the P5Q3, preferably near the SATA ports and another one by the memory sockets. As it stands now, if you were to use a memory cooler, the nearest fan header is located by the rear panel connectors.
The P5Q3 gives you four memory sockets that support 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB of unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 modules each. You'll be able to use a total of 16GB of DDR3-1800 memory which would come in handy in RAM intensive tasks. Just don't forget to utilize a 64-bit operating system if installing more than 4GB of memory. Asus recommends installing RAM in the orange slots for increased overclocking ability.
The CPU socket area provides enough open area to make use of aftermarket heatsinks. The capacitors found near the socket are low lying and should not present any compatibility issues.
The P5Q3 supports ATI's CrossFireX technology and gives you two PCI Express 2.0 slots. Each slot provides 16 lanes individually but reduces down to 8 lanes in CrossFire mode. You also get three PCI-E x1 slots and two PCI slots to increase your expansion options.
Asus used vertically positioned SATA ports on this board which may cause a headache down the road. If a long, dual slot graphics card is installed in the black PCI-E slot, you will lose the use of four SATA ports. Additionally, if the expansion card used in either PCI slot is very long, then the loss of more SATA port availability may arise. I wish all motherboards used the right angled SATA ports placed along the edge, like the ones found on the high end motherboards that Asus manufactures.
The rear panel sports every port you could possibly need. You get both a coaxial and optical S/PDIF connector, an eSATA, and six USB ports among others. Its nice to see the eSATA show up on the P5Q3 as it was missing on the P5Q Pro model.
Closer Look:
The P5Q3 comes with an AMI BIOS that is straightforward and simple to navigate. For overclocking settings, head over to the AI Tweaker menu which is the second tab. There you will find a wealth of choices to modify. For a mainstream product, the overclocking selection is robust and comparable to more expensive motherboards. The Tools menu gives the option of saving overclock profiles and access to EZ Flash 2, a BIOS update utility.
The Main tab in the American Megatrends BIOS shows some basic information about the system, date and time, and attached storage devices. Under the System Information sub-section the processor type, speed, and amount of system memory can be viewed.
AI Tweaker:
The AI Tweaker menu items allow you to configure overclocking related items. Default values vary depending on the CPU and memory modules you install on the motherboard. You will need to scroll down to display the entire menu. My one complaint is the absence of a Command Rate memory setting. This omission left me to use 2T with no way to change it.
Under the Advanced Tab, we find the settings for Intel's EIST and Virtualization Technology, which can be enabled or disabled. The on-board peripherals, such as the LAN ports, audio codecs, and Drive Expert technology can be turned on and off under this sub-section. This is where the support for the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is enabled or disabled.
This section allows a type of power profile to be set up. In the Hardware Monitoring sub-section, temperatures of the CPU and motherboard can be checked. The voltages available for monitoring include the three rails on the power supply, as well as the CPU Vcore. Fan profiles can be set up with the QFan control; monitoring of the fans can be turned off as well.
Setting the boot priority of the drives installed in the system is done here, and additionally, the configuration of the boot settings. Things such as quick boot, disabling error messages, and disabling the full screen boot logo can be accomplished here.
The Tools tab has a couple of very functional items in it. EZ Flash is a utility that can be used to flash the BIOS. It can be used with a USB flash drive, or you can pull the BIOS file from the hard drive of the computer; not once has this utility failed me. Sorting overclocked profiles makes switching back and forth between maximum performance and everyday performance profiles a breeze - no more guessing if the settings are correct. The Drive Xpert settings controls are stored here for each set of ports. The Express Gate menu can be turned on or off in this section as well.
After installing the motherboard and loading the operating system, dig through the bundle and locate the motherboard disc. The disc contains the necessary drivers to get your system running at an optimum level. Insert the CD into your disc drive and the installation interface appears with several tabs. The first menu lists the drivers needed for the motherboard. The second tab lists the utility programs to help increase your productivity. I've listed the contents below.

EPU Six-Engine:
An energy efficient tool that satisfies different computing needs, Asus has created this power saving 'engine' that detects current PC loads and provides real time moderating. With auto phase switching for components such as the CPU, VGA, RAM, chipset, drives and system fan, EPU automatically provides the most appropriate power usage via intelligent acceleration and overclocking. The utility provides four modes that you can select to enhance system performance or save power. Selecting Auto mode will have the system shift modes automatically according to current system status. You can also customize each mode by configuring settings like CPU frequency, vCore voltage, and Fan Control.
AI Suite:
Asus provides this all-in-one utility which allows you to launch AI Booster, AI Nap, and Fan Xpert utilities easily. AI Booster is an application that lets you overclock the CPU speed from your desktop without having to enter the BIOS. AI Nap allows you to minimize the power consumption of your computer whenever you are away. It assigns minimum power consumption and provides a quieter computing environment. Fan Xpert intelligently allows you to adjust both the CPU and chassis fan speeds according to different ambient temperatures caused by different climate conditions. The built in profiles offer flexible controls of fan speeds.
Asus Update:
This utility lets you save, manage, and update the BIOS in a Windows environment. It provides options such as saving the current BIOS file, downloading the latest BIOS, updating the BIOS, and viewing the current version. I found this utility to be easier and faster than entering the BIOS and using EZ Flash 2.
PC Probe II:
You can monitor the computer's vital components using PC Probe II. It detects and alerts you of any problems as it senses fan rotations, CPU temperature, and system voltages. Because PC Probe II is software based, you can start monitoring the computer easily and rest assured that it is always at a healthy operating condition.

To test this motherboard, I threw on a QX9770 processor, Corsair Dominator DDR3 memory, and a Sapphire 4850 videocard. The CPU multiplier was set to 8 to match the Q9450's locked setting and the memory was run at 1333MHz. In order to stress the sytem's components, the testing suite consists of a series of scientific and gaming benchmarks ran at different resolutions. Results are posted along with the scores from other motherboards using the similarly clocked components. All benchmarks were run at both stock and overclocked settings.
Testing Setup:
- Processor: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 (333 x 8)
- Motherboard: Asus P5Q3
- Memory: Corsair Dominator DDR3-1800 2 x 1GB @ 1333MHz 6-6-5-16 2T
- Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 w/ Catalyst 8.11
- Power Supply: Mushkin 800w Modular Power Supply
- Hard Drive: Seagate 7200.11 1TB SATA 32MB Cache
- Optical Drive: Asus BC-1205PT BD Combo Drive
- OS: Windows Vista 32-bit SP1
The comparison boards used in this review are the P5Q Pro and Gigabyte's X48-DQ6 motherboards. I was interested in seeing how the P5Q3 fared against its DDR2 cousin, the P5Q Pro, as they are almost identical. Also, it would be nice to find out how well it performed against a higher end board like the DQ6.
Comparison Motherboards:
- Processor: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 (450 x 8)
- Memory: Corsair Dominator DDR3-1800 2 x 1GB @ 1350MHz 6-6-5-16 2T
Overclocking the P5Q3 could not be any easier. I raised the memory voltage to 1.7V and left all other voltages on AUTO. Raising the front side bus speed in 10MHz steps landed me at a stable 450, which is the same speed I was able to reach with the P5Q Pro. Memory was set to 1350MHz @ 6-6-5-16 2T. As mentioned earlier, there is no Command Rate setting so it defaulted to 2T. I attempted to reach a higher overclock by manually entering voltages but found that leaving them in AUTO yielded similar results. Dual core overclocking should be just as painless.

Apophysis is an open source, fractal flame editor and renderer for Windows. Fractal flames are a member of the iterated function system class of fractals created by Scot Draves. A fractal is a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into partts, each of which is a smaller copy of the whole. Natural objects that approximate fractals to a degree include lightning bolts and snow flakes. Draves' open source code was later ported into Adobe After Effects graphics software and eventually translated into Apophysis. The results display how many minutes it took to render a fractal flame; therefore, lower numbers reveal better results.
- Resolution: 2750x2048
- Quality: 500
- Limit Memory Use: 512MB
WinRAR is a shareware file archiver and data compression utility. It is one of the few applications that is able to create RAR archives natively, as the encoding method is held to be proprietary. This program provides complete support for RAR and ZIP archives with the ability to create self-extracting and multi-volume archives. Here, I compressed three files of different sizes and recorded the time it took to compled the task. The results provided were measured in seconds so lower numbers demonstrate preferable outcomes.
Apophysis results met my initial expectations as the P5Q3 and P5Q Pro completed the flame editor at the same rate while the X48 performed a bit better. RAR tests did not reveal a clear winner as scores were all over the place.
SPECviewperf 10 benchmark is a standardized software that establishes graphics performance results for systems running under OpenGL and other application programming interfaces (API). The program evaluates performance based on CAD/CAM, digital content creation, and visualization applications Orginally developed by the Graphics Performance Characterization (SPECgpc) organization, SPECviewperf measures 3D rendering efficiency of systems using OpenGL while providing vendors and consumers the ability to perform their own measurements. Multi-threaded tests were run and the results are displayed below. Here, higher numbers represent superior results.
PCMark Vantage is used to measure complete system performance. We will be running a series of tests to gauge performance of each individual board to see which board, if any, rises above the others.
The P5Q3 performed very well during the multi-threaded benchmark, SPECviewperf. Actually, both P45 boards showed superior performance over the X48 in this test. And the P5Q3 beat out both comparison boards in PCMark Vantage.
SiSoft Sandra (System Analyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information and diagnostic utility. It provides a suite of benchmarks and displays the results easy to read reports. Sandra also allows you to compare results against a huge database of hardware.

The resuls were close throughout the SANDRA benchmarks but the P5Q3 showed an advantage in memory bandwidth tests.
ScienceMark is a comprehensive benchmark program that stresses your system by performing resource intensive scientific calculations. The program runs six optional tests and provides comparable results between different platforms. Intensive processing and memory requirements of the benchmark make it suitable for use as a stability test. It supports MMX, SSE, SSE2, 3DNow!, Hyper-Threading technologies and multi-processor systems. Sciencemark provides an overall score and higher results provide better performance.
CineBench is a real world benchmarking suite that assesses your computer's performance capabilities. It is based on Maxon's animation software, CINEMA 4D, which is used extensively by studios and production houses worldwide for 3D content creation. CineBench runs several tests on your computer to measure the performance of the main processor and the graphics card under real world circumstances.
HD Tune is a hard disk utility that benchmarks transfer rate, access time, CPU usage and burst rate. It also reveals such things as partition information, supported features, firmware version, serial number, disk capacity, buffer size and temperature.
Sciencemark scores were comparable as the P5Q3 leads the group by a small margin. Cinebench results were almost identical and the P5Q3 fell behind during HD Tune testing.
Crysis is a science fiction first person shooter developed by Crytek and published by Electronic Arts. It is based in a fiction future where an ancient alien spacecraft has been discovered beneath the earth on an island near the coast of Korea. You assume the role of US Delta Force operator, Jake Dunn, referred to by his call sign, Nomad. Armed with various futuristic weapons and a Nano Muscle Suit, you fight both North Koreans and extraterrestrial enemies within the game. Results are measured in frames per second.
- Anti-Aliasing: x2
- Advanced Settings: High
Although there was very little difference between the scores, the P5Q3 performed marginally better than the comparison boards.
PT Boats: Knights of the Sea is a naval simulation that places gamers in charge of a fleet of the Allied Forces, Russia or Germany during the height of World War II. Torpedo boats, trawlers, storm boats and patrol ships sail through the seas in this DX10 real time strategy and simulation game. Knights of the Sea allows you to take command of a boat and control each member of the crew. Results are measured in frames per second.
Video Settings:
- DirectX Version: 10
- All resolutions: 60Hz
- Image Quality: High
- Anti-Aliasing: x0
The P5Q3 fell behind the comparison boards at every resolution, but not by very much.
BioShock is set in alternate history and places you in the role of plane crash survivor named Jack. You must explore the underwater dystopian city of Rapture and survive attacks by the mutilated beings and mechanical drones that populate it. The game is a first person shooter that incorporates elements found in role playing and survival horror games.
- All settings to maximum
Bioshock benchmark results were very close in all resolutions except for 1920 x 1200 where the X48 dominated the P45 boards.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the successor to the Call of Duty crown. This iteration of the game is fought in many of the world's hot spots with modern armaments and firepower. You can play as either a US Marine or British SAS trooper. Since this game does not feature an in-game test, I will run through a section of the game and measure average FPS using Fraps 2.9.6.
- Anti-Aliasing: x4
- Anisotropic Filtering: Max
- Texture Quality: Extra
- All settings max
The P5Q3 and P5Q Pro did very well during COD4 testing.
World in Conflict is a DX10, Real Time Strategy game that simulates the all-out war the world hopes never comes. The difference in this RTS game is that it is not the typical "generate wealth and build" type of game. Instead, you advance by conquering your foe.
Video Settings:
- Graphic Detail: Very High
Here is another strong showing by the P5Q3 during World in Conflict benchmarks.
Call of Juarez is a DX10, First Person Shooter set in the Wild West of the late 1800s. The game is inspired, in part, by the movies of the Wild West genre of the seventies and eighties. The game can be played as both single player and multiplayer. The game focuses on realistic graphics and gameplay designed to take advantage of the latest video cards on the market.

Results were almost identical during Call of Juarez testing. Overclocked settings provided no significant gains.
Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts is a stand alone expansion of the real time strategy game, Company of Heroes, originally released in 2006. The game is set during World War II where you command two US military units during the Battle of Normandy and the Allied capture of France. Company of Heroes is the first title to make use of the Essence Engine which was coded by Relic Entertainment to make use of special graphical effect. It is currently one of the highest rated real time strategy games on the market.

The P5Q3 and P5Q Pro traded blows in the Company of Heroes benchmark. Both P45 boards performed a hair better than the Gigabyte X48 board.
3DMark06 is the sixth generation 3DMark and determines the DirectX 9 performance of graphics cards. The measurement unit of 3DMark06 is intended to give a normalized mean for comparing different graphics processing units. This program features HDR rendering, video post processing, dynamic soft shadows, water shaders, hterogeneous fog, light scattering and cloud blending. The default setting for 3DMark06 is 1280 x 1024 but I conducted several runs using different resolutions to provide more results for comparison. Higher scores provide better results.
- SM2.0 Graphics Tests: GT1- Return to Proxycon, GT2- Firefly Forest
- CPU Tests: Cpu1- Red Valley, CPU2- Red Valley
- HDR/SM3.0 Graphics Tests: HDR1- Canyon Flight, HDR2- Deep Freeze
At stock speed, all three boards scored similarly in 3DMark06.
Testing: 3DMark Vantage DX10 Benchmark
3DMark Vantage is a PC benchmark suite designed to test the DirectX 10 performance of your graphics card. A 3DMark score is an overall measure of your system's 3D gaming capabilities, based on comprehensive real-time 3D graphics and processor tests. By comparing your score with those submitted by millions of other gamers you can see how your gaming rig performs, making it easier to choose the most effective upgrades or finding other ways to optimize your system. 3DMark is widely used by the PC industry, press and media as well as individual users and gamers, for comparing performance levels between whole systems or even specific components. Vantage is the new industry standard PC gaming benchmark, designed for Windows Vista and DirectX 10. By default, Vantage is in the Performance setting which runs at 1280 x 1024 resolution. Entry (1024 x 768), High (1680 x 1050), and Extreme (1920 x 1200) setting benchmarks were also conducted. Higher scores illustrate superior results.
- Default settings used
- Entry (1024 x 768)
- Performance (1280 x 1024)
- High (1680 x 1050)
- Extreme (1920 x 1200)
The P5Q3 did well in all of the Vantage runs as it finished ahead of the comparison boards at each resolution.
Once again, Asus proves that a mainstream motherboard can hang with high end competition. Throughout testing, the P45 Express chipset based P5Q3 performed on par with the Gigabyte X48 and, in some cases, beat it. Intel deserves the credit for designing an excellent chipset but Asus should receive recognition for implementing it into such a fantastic product. An excellent layout coupled with sexy black PCB makes the P5Q3 easy on the eyes. Additionally, I was able to push a quad core to 3.6GHz without breaking a sweat. If tweaking interests you, the BIOS has plenty of options and should keep you busy for quite a while.
I do have a few small complaints. Although there are a ton of memory settings available in the BIOS, it was odd that there wasn't a Command Rate option. The ability to change Command Rate from 2T to 1T improves memory performance and should be available in a mainstream motherboard like this one. A couple more conveniently placed fan headers are needed. Also, vertically oriented SATA ports are becoming more trouble than they're worth. The current trend of larger and longer videocards require the use of right angled SATA ports.
The minor issues did not take away from the overall impression left by this board. With solid performance, overclocking ease, power saving features, and a price tag that many will find very attractive, the Asus P5Q3 is one of the best bang-for-your-buck motherboards on the market.
- Solid performance
- Tweakable BIOS
- Easy Overclocking
- Affordable
- No Command Rate setting
- Vertical SATA ports
- Hard to find fan headers

|Augustana College students to study in London
|News Releases - Education & Schools
|Written by readMedia
|Thursday, 01 September 2011 08:28
ROCK ISLAND, IL (09/01/2011)(readMedia)-- Forty-five Augustana College students are studying contemporary and historic Britain and Europe from the heart of one of the world's greatest cities, London. The Fall Term in London program offers students a chance to explore the area while studying with Augustana and British faculty.
From your area this includes:
Kayla Ferguson, a junior from, Orion, Ill. majoring in liberal studies.
Anna Tunnicliff, a junior from, Bettendorf, Iowa majoring in history.
Timothy Gillman, a senior from, Rock Island, Ill. majoring in geography.
John Peters, a senior from, Milan, Ill. majoring in history.
Laurel Williams, a senior from, Milan, Ill. majoring in communication sciences & disorders and English.
"London is a rich historical and cultural center," said Dr. Catherine Carter Goebel, professor and chair of art history at Augustana. "I particularly look forward to sharing its wonderful museums and fabulous art collections with our students. Studying art history through firsthand examination of some of the finest artwork in the world, as well as visiting relevant historic sites, is an exciting opportunity both for our Augustana students as well as their professor."
Joining Dr. Goebel in London will be Dr. Peter Kivisto, professor of sociology, anthropology and social welfare at Augustana. Five courses will be offered during the London term, including sociology and art history taught by Augustana professors, in addition to British history, theatre and contemporary politics taught by local faculty. Included with coursework and as part of the program are several group excursions in and around London, including guided tours of landmarks, museums, theatrical productions and a soccer match, as well as day trips to such historic sites as Stonehenge, Salisbury, Bath and Oxford.
Traveling around and learning more about Great Britain and Europe is what attracted Martin King, a senior geography major from Oswego, Ill., to sign up for the study-abroad program. While in London, students will live in student apartments in the Kensington neighborhood. They will be based in Glasgow during a one-week excursion in Scotland.
Of the 45 Augustana students enrolled in the London program, 39 applied for and received $2,000 through the college's Augie Choice program to help pay for expenses. Augie Choice provides students with the opportunity for the kinds of learning that will make them stand out when they start careers or go on to graduate school.

RFQ pioneer celebrates 80th birthday
Vladimir Teplyakov, one of the leading scientists at the Institute for High Energy Physics (IHEP) in Protvino, celebrates his 80th birthday on 6 November. A distinguished expert in accelerator and beam physics and engineering, he is well known for his invention in the late 1960s, together with Ilya Kapchinsky of ITEP-Moscow, of the radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) linear accelerator. This versatile device, which bunches, focuses and accelerates lower energy protons and ions using only RF fields, has been put into operation in many labs throughout the world.
After being drafted into the Red Army and serving in the Second World War, Teplyakov graduated from the Polytechnic Institute, and in the 1950s began his career in the Moscow-based Institute for Chemical Physics of the National Academy of Sciences. While there, he was involved in feasibility studies for a high-current proton linear accelerator. In 1966 Teplyakov moved with his team to IHEP in Protvino, where he was charged with commissioning and running a 100 MeV Alvarez drift-tube linac, the I-100. This machine has served for 20 years as an injector to the 70 GeV proton synchrotron, the U-70, which was the world's largest when it started up.
In 1969 Teplyakov and Kapchinsky put forward the concept of the RFQ, for which they received the Lenin prize, the top award of the former USSR, in 1988. The American Physical Society has also honoured the achievement. Since then, Teplyakov has contributed greatly to extending RFQ focusing to higher beam energies by developing various RFQ drift-tube structures and RF cavities to drive them. In 1985 the world's only all-RFQ 30 MeV linear accelerator, the URAL-30, was put into operation and is still being employed as an injector to the fast-cycling 1.5 GeV booster synchrotron in the upgraded injector chain of the U-70. Now, a modified successor, named URAL-30M, is being assembled and subjected to pre-commissioning bench testing.
Teplyakov has authored more than 100 scientific papers and many patented inventions, and is co-author of the fundamental book Linear Accelerators of Ions, used by several generations of accelerator scientists in Russia. He is still active in science and full of new ideas. His friends and colleagues wish him good health and many more years of creative research.
Third school for astroparticle physicists of the future
At the beginning of July, more than 60 European doctoral students gathered in Belgirate, on Lake Maggiore in Italy, to attend the third International School on Astroparticle Physics (ISAPP 2005). The school is part of the activities of the ISAPP network, which includes 23 universities, institutes and laboratories from France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Russia and Spain. It is different from other schools in that it is dedicated to European doctoral students from two fields - nuclear and particle physics, and cosmology and astrophysics - whose students do not traditionally mix, and so aims to create new astroparticle physicists.
The format of the school begins with two days dedicated to parallel introductory lessons on topics that some of the students are less familiar with, while the "core" lessons, common to all the students, provide an in-depth look at specific areas of astroparticle physics. This year the main topic concerned high-energy cosmic rays, while previously there were in-depth lectures on neutrinos in physics and astrophysics, dark matter and dark energy, and gravitational waves.
Time is also set aside during the school for formal and informal discussions and short seminars by the students. Care is taken to have the speakers stay for the full length of the school and at the same location as the students, so as to encourage the exchange of experiences and ideas.
This year's school was attended by students from 11 countries, with a majority of non-Italians, and there was also a large number of women, who constituted half the participants. Next year the school is planned to take place in Germany.
• For more information on the ISAPP network, together with complete lists of the school's programme, organizers, teachers and lessons, see www.mi.infn.it/ISAPP.

You should totally make the silvergames.com intro longer. It's definitely not annoying enough. Also, asking your playerbase to debug your game for you? Seriously?
rustyFruit Dec 9, 2013 6:08am
Yep. Seriously. As I've already said I can't reproduce the problem, that's the only point of my ask. And not to debug, but to help me to debug. Anyway, the bug is fixed now.

It the quest game cause I was bored I looked though the whole code. Why do you have four codes that check speed and only one that check attack? Does it have to do with how you move?

Uhh… so questopia froze on me about three seconds short of me killing the boss… It's kinda weird cause I can still use spells and my health and mana are still regenerating, I can switch equipment and use potions, but nothing else. Anything I can do to progress?
ref206 Jun 17, 2013 7:38pm
I was about to screenshot, but started messing with the buttons on the top right, it opened up achievements and won't let me exit the screen. Other than this bug, pretty decent game.
Jun 13, 2013 1:31pm
You should make a multiplayer version of questopia. It's alot like Realm of the Mad god. I think it might make alot of money. I mean, maybe in the future if there's like a sequel to Questopia or something. In my opinion. Your'e Awesome.
Jun 8, 2013 5:25pm
Questopia is good but seems too much of a grind and gets boring after the first 2-3 floors. Didn't seem a huge variety of items, kept getting the same stuff for a while, and a lot of effort to pick the stuff up and sell it. Also those small little things are annoying as hell. p.s maybe a damage counter / shoot range would be helpful too.
AutisticMouse Jun 11, 2013 1:24am
I agree, and maybe ranged weps, not just fireballs and swords.

What program/s did you use to make Questopia?

Yep. I buy him pedigree food, but I do not know if it is any good. I tried researching online on what is the best food for him, but it is ridiculous, I cannot find a thing. What brand is best for him? What type of food is best for him? It doesn't even have to be a dog brand. For instance, maybe I could just feed him chicken with no salt on it, I don't know. I need direct answers, not the vague ones that I find online. Thanks.
He is an eight-year-old, male Pomeranian. He is not overweight. He seems to be quite healthy. I always give him exercise. He will eat whatever I give him. His teeth are healthy. He has no health problems or diseases.
Here are some of the BEST foods out there!

Bamboo is a group of woody perennial evergreen plants of the grass family. Some of its members are giant bamboo, forming by far the largest members of the grass family. Bamboo is the fastest growing woody plant in the world: up to three to four feet a day. This accelerated growth rate allows bamboo to be harvested in three to five years, far more often than the 10 to 20 year harvest cycle of most softwoods. Unlike the environmental damage caused by the deforestation of trees, proper harvesting of bamboo leaves the root system intact, creating little or no topsoil disruption. This renewable, sustainable resource produces 35% more oxygen than its equivalent in trees while reducing carbon dioxide gas that is blamed for global warming. With the tensile strength of steel, it's the strongest growing woody plant in the world.

Yup, just tried. OH says unlike gardeners he plans these things in advance ! That's his supper spoiled then. The things I have to put up with , hope you all feel sorry for me. (0f course he only knows MY very own gardening style, in fact no he knows nowt!).
Delicious! Enough for me to have a nibble too???
Sorry, that was the stuffed chillies, not the greenhouse - I value my teeth
Dove I didn't think that at all. I'm very sorry if I've upset you in any way, but someone mentioned about not forgetting GG on the other thread so I was just trying to keep in touch. Really sorry if I've caused any upset x
Oh bless you Star gaze lily ((hugs)) you've not upset me I thought I'd upset you and GG - it's sometimes difficult to get things right on a board when we're friends and total strangers at the same time
I really don't want GG to feel left behind , but unless we all post on both threads I don't know what to do about it
Lol mrs g I'm no expert but is t that supposed to be outside... Brumbull they are now in oil preserving for Xmas!!! Mmmmmmm gotta run up to the shop and get more oil I ran out!!!! Supposei had better get ready for lo swimming this afternoon as well as get the pork ready for the oven... Glad I cleaned the kitchen this morning it looks like a bomb hit it again!!!
And dove as always plenty for all
No you've not upset me at all. But I was really worried I'd upset you and some others. As I said just trying to keep in touch. Think messages can sometimes be read in different ways . I'm
m new here and I've found you all very helpful and friendly so here's to the new thread.
That's a relief - regulars and old hands on this forum have worked hard not to let clicques and factions to develop - we're all in this together
Oh bother - no edit button at the moment so I can't correct my spelling - should read cliques
Mrs G, greenhouse looks good Is that OH making a brief visit in the picture?
Lazy sluggardly ways come upon me when the weather is pants, am just getting up Going to have some poached eggs though, as prompted by another thread . . . Yummy!
Brumbull ..... Wine cellar!!!!!! Wow I'm impressed I dot think wine lasts long enough in this house.. I can't drink anymore sadly but did enjoy a wee glass of Isla negra ( beat bottle under a fiver in my humble opinion)
Wow! havent you all been busy scribbling all morning. Been to town and back since the breakfast. GRey squirrels. Treated as a vermin species here as they decimated the native reds. greys were introduced to Ireland as a birthday present for some landed gentry in 1911. Reds are making a comeback now believed to be aided by the increase in Pinemartins aswell. Up the reds.
Brumbull shhhh
Well I call myself a fair weather gardener and just come in after neRly an hour. Not sure what I've done but enjoyed it and got wet!
Have some white mildew on 2 of echinacea cuttings, been in plastic GH , what do I need to do please?
cosmos taken a battering in wind and rain, probably done now but still loads of buds. A ladybird was enjoying it too.
coffeee time, anyone? Sorry, not commenting much on your days and news today, but enjoying reading about them. Now where's that coffee, suppose rude GH builder will want one too.
Hi MrsG, unless I need a bed to show off in the Spring, showing snowdrops, crocuses and the like, I don't tidy up until Spring/early summer. I leave everything else as it is. My theory is that if I did it all now , much of it would need another going over next year as well. And the birds and insects get a better deal too. The price to pay is a bit of untidyness, which is not much at all.
Just to say..what a nice feeling to read this thread today. Luverly
Afternoon Brum
Oh good - I thought I'd broken the thread!!!!!
I have no idea what happened
Don't think that's possible Matty - think we're sound on here and can cope with whatever gets thrown at us, technical blips included
Just popping in to say 'Good afternoon all'

Need amp advice, urgent!
Ok, so I'm looking to buy a new amp. ( You've probably seen that about a thousand times so far today). At the moment, I use a Line 6 Spider 4 150w amp, with a Line 6 cab. But I want something more I guess you could say. I want a good amp for Rhythm guitar, I could care less about leads, being I can't solo for shit and I play Rhythm guitar and sing in my band. My budget would be around 1000 give or take a bit. I play Thrash, shit like Havok, Testament, Exodus, Old Sepultura, Megadeth mixed with Maiden, Mercyful Fate, Venom kind of shit. I'm very technical, so I'd want to be audible lol. I would want my tone to be smooth, but thrashy. Also, an amp that would last me for a long time would be nice. I want to be able to gig, jam, and record with my next amp. So in short, an amp with a sick thrashy but smooth tone with an awesome clean tone is what I'm looking for (and if I need any extra add-ons with it, what would they be?). I was looking at the Peavey 6505+ or a Bugera, like the 333xl or the 6262, but I honestly don't know what's best for what I do. Please my fellow musicians, help me out :cool:
1000usd? As in American?
Where are you located? The more specific you are, the more we can help you (Craigslist).
5150. thrashy. acceptable cleans. plenty of gain on tap. cuts through. What kind of speakers are in your cab? You may be able to use that cab if it's the one with V30s.
I live in Bellerose NY, the cab I use is a Line 6 4x12, & ihartfood, isn't the 5150 the same as the 6505?
and yes guitarbaddie, 1000-1200 usd
Is noise an issue? Can you play loud?
For the cab, you're going to want to go for one of these regardless:
For the head, you have options.
Personally, I recommend the Peavey XXX. There are quite a few out there.
However, if you have no problem cranking an amp, you can get a JCM800, which is pretty much the end all amp for thrash metal. These aren't exactly known for their clean channel.
You can also take a look at the Marshall DSL. I'm quite fond of these amps. Good clean channel, awesome crunch, and lots more on tap.
Lastly, there's a 5150 II. I don't recommend this amp for what you want, but you can look at it regardless.
Not quite, if the amp is too loud, I can always use my other amp for practicing. I need a new amp mainly for gigging/rehearsals/jams so it's all good. Thank you guys, it helps alot :D
Offworld's nailed it.
I love the DSL as well, it can do thrash easy.
All great suggestions. I'll through in Krankenstein "plus" and make sure its the plus model. The initial ones were thin sounding.
Heavy sounding as hell, great cleans and will shake your drummers drum kit. :)
I'll check 'em all out guys, thanks! :-D

Anna Faris (Apr 6th, 2009)
Anna Faris' soft, airy hairstyle has curvy volume on top and a swooped-over fringe in front.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Apply a handful of volumizing mousse onto damp hair. Blow dry two-inch sections at a time with a large round brush. Lift slightly at the root for volume and then roll the ends under.
Step 2: Once dry, quickly roll two-inch sections of hair onto large Velcro rollers before hair cools from the blow dryer. Allow to set for 10 minutes and then unwind the rollers and finger-style hair into shape.
Step 3: Create a side part and push your bangs to the side. Mist with shine spray for added luster and hairspray for hold.

"The Russian Boom Was On": The Inter-Cultural Work of Translation (Nov. 8-10, Atlanta Georgia)
full name / name of organization:
SAMLA 2013 conference
contact email:
Constance Garnett's 1912 translation of Dostoevsky is credited with sparking the "Russian Fever" in Great Britain, while Russia's entry into the Great War as an ally set off the "Russian Boom." Yet, an increasing fascination with the country, its culture, and its literature dates from the beginning of the 20th century and continues beyond the years of war and revolution.
This panel explores the background to the explosion of interest in Russian literature in both the United States and Great Britain through early 20th century translations from the Russian. The boom in translation of literary texts was a primary conduit for efforts to alter public opinion and national policy in both countries. It also served to reduce the isolation of Russia from the West. Suggested topics may include: the work of individual translators; the English-language translations of particular authors; publishing houses, "small magazines," or editors that welcomed or encouraged translations from the Russian; cultural or political contexts or movements that spurred public interest.
Please send 250-word abstracts for 20-minute papers (indicating any equipment/technical requirements), and a brief biographical note by the deadline of 31 May 2013 to Marilyn Schwinn Smith via e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

The Madera County Arts Council received a $2.55 million donation at its 30th anniversary celebration Saturday night, the money to be used for development and construction of an arts center.
Such a center has been a longtime dream for the city and county, said the Arts Council Board treasurer, Superior Court Judge Charles Wieland.
In the 1970s, he told the audience of some 300, the state provided money to build an arts center — but it wasn't quite the arts center people imagined it would be.
"We are in it," he said, raising his arms to indicate Hatfield Hall, where the celebratory dinner was being held. Laughter followed...

The College of Idaho is participating in the second annual Idaho Gives campaign, a statewide crowd funding event on May 1 that celebrates the work of Idaho's nonprofit organizations.
The College of Idaho has published its spring 2014 issue of Quest magazine, which hits mailboxes this week. The issue has a theme of "Success," honoring the many C of I students, alumni, faculty and staff who have enjoyed tremendous achievements in the classroom, on the athletic field, in their careers and in life during the 123-year history of the College.
The College of Idaho will celebrate undergraduate research and creative work during its ninth annual Student Research Conference, set for Saturday, April 26, on the C of I campus in Caldwell.
The College of Idaho will begin offering summer courses this year, providing additional opportunities for current and new students to take classes in subjects such as politics, psychology and Spanish.
Travis Guy first fell in love with ecological research as an undergraduate biology major at The College of Idaho. Today, Guy is continuing to pursue his passion thanks to a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship that will support his research for the next three years.
The College of Idaho football program today offered the first glimpse of what its players will wear on the field when the Coyotes return to the gridiron this fall.
The Coyotes will sport gold helmets with a purple C of I logo on the sides, head coach Mike Moroski announced following the team's spring showcase on campus. The final design was decided by a vote amongst C of I students, alumni, faculty and staff.
The College of Idaho has launched an online presence for its College Store, giving alumni, parents, the campus community and the public an opportunity to shop for and purchase C of I apparel and gifts from the comfort of their homes.
The College of Idaho Theatre Department is pleased to announce its spring main stage production, the Sam Shepard drama 'A Lie of the Mind.' The play shows at 7:30 nightly April 17-19 and 23-26 inside Langroise Studio Theatre on the C of I campus in Caldwell, with a 2 p.m. closing matinee on April 27. Admission is $15 for adults and $10 for seniors and students. C of I students receive free admission. For tickets and info, call the Langroise Box Office at (208) 459-5426.
Making the world a better place is not an easy task to accomplish. But for College of Idaho sophomore and Davis Scholar Keneuoe "Kenny" Mphutlane, the opportunity to help others was as simple as giving the shirt off her back.
"I learned about the Rwandan genocide in international politics [class] and what impact it had on women," said Mphutlane, an international political economy major from Lesotho, Africa. "I then thought it would be best to think of a project that did not just involve giving a handout but instead one that would help young women acquire a skill."
The majestic and mysterious gas giants will be the topic of discussion when The College of Idaho's Whittenberger Planetarium hosts its April public show at 7 p.m. Friday, April 11, inside Boone Science Hall on the C of I campus in Caldwell. Find out what makes these giant planets unique – and how you can find them in the sky – during the first of two public shows on gas giants. The show, which costs $4 for adults or $2 for children ages 4-17, also will include an overview of the current and upcoming constellations and planets visible in the Idaho night sky.

Home » Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs » Bureau of Public Affairs » Bureau of Public Affairs: Office of Press Relations » Press Releases » Press Releases: 2011 » Press Releases: January 2011 » Cambodia: Draft NGO Law (Taken Question)
Question: Has the government of Cambodia started to make laws that place limits on NGOs operating in country? What sort of limits? How is this affecting NGO programs?
Answer: The United States has serious concerns about the law as drafted and strongly opposes the enactment of any law that would constrain the legitimate activities of NGOs. We urge the Royal Government of Cambodia to consult closely with NGOs and other stakeholders on the substance of the draft law, and to reconsider whether such a measure is even necessary. The United States believes that a strong and free civil society is vital to strengthening democratic institutions, enhancing economic and humanitarian well-being, and promoting a sustainable economy. In Cambodia, as in many other countries, NGOs and other civil society organizations make critical contributions in these areas.

Hey, DA. Sorry that it's been such a while since my last entry. Not that i have been absent or inactive but much rather i've been having my eyes and mind on some new things in my life. No idea where to start or begin so i'm just summing up that I've been on a self-help crusade to regaining my creative confidence. I've been working at a recently new job since January and have been coming to terms over time. The terms are that if I'm gonna continue drawing, I gotta accept my shortcomings that I've been dealing with and expand my worldview a bit.
-I've been taking on a lot more reading and outside activities
-Learning new/different skills
-Learning how to create my own source of motivation and confidence
(Most importantly)- Organizing and prioritizing my life.
-and the list continues to go on with each preparation. There's also thoughts on just shutting down userpages on extra sites like this one since feedback here isn't that entirely well; and I find that feedback and good public relation is essential. BUT!! Like I said, they are only thoughts so it's not likely to happen unless i'm fully convinced. I'm aware that success and popularity will not happen in an instant, it's something that is built over time. To me, DA is like early 1900s New York. It's the usual spot where people who are looking for a fresh start will obviously start at only to be disappointed early on. New users struggle at first to be acknowledged until they resort to playing dirty. Not alot of people take failure well and that feeling is encouraged without some feedback to go on, a comment or two, and would most likely quit before getting anywhere.
But I digress, once I have my entire objective clarified and my plan set, there are going to be some changes to my approach. In the meantime, I'll try to keep you guys into consideration.
-Doc Out!

Ky. teen dies with dog lead on neck
Monday, May 20, 2013
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky teenager known as a "jokester" was strangled by a dog lead he put around his neck while playing with friends at the start of summer vacation, just hours after finishing his freshman year in high school.
Tony Conley, 16, died near his home in Estill County in eastern Kentucky on Friday when he apparently jumped off an outdoor deck staircase and the dog lead tightened around his neck, county Coroner Tony Murphy said Monday.
"It was just so tight that it cut his air and his blood flow off to his head," the coroner said in a phone interview. "It's a terrible, terrible tragedy."
Friends tried but were unable to cut the metal cable, and Conley was pronounced dead at the scene, he said.
Conley had just finished his freshman year at Estill County High School hours before his death.
"He was a good kid," said his football coach, Mike Jones. "He was kind of goofy at times, just a jokester."
Conley was among a group of boys who had been playing basketball when the "freak accident" happened, Murphy said.
The other boys told investigators that Conley had picked up the dog lead and snapped it around his neck, the coroner said.
Conley was "just being a kid, goofing off" when he then decided to jump off the stairs leading up to the deck, he said.
"Looks like he maybe just started to flat foot and jump over the rail back down to the ground," Murphy said. "Somehow the cable got hung on the inside of the post on the top, which caused it to cinch down tight on his neck."
An autopsy showed that he died of strangulation, he said.

Recently Block RICL signs were damaged, removed and thrown at the end of my driveway and my 80-year-old, invalid mother's yard in a neighboring town where I grew up. Whomever did this, please stop and find out more about the Block RICL cause before attacking individual members. Repeatedly shooting holes in signs adjacent to Interstate 39 endangers people and shows a level of anger that needs to be curbed.
