This pack is one to grabAlcatraz_Inmate | Sept. 10, 2013 | See all Alcatraz_Inmate's reviews »
Honestly Condemned Criminal Origins and Alien vs Predator alone is reason enough to justify buying this, but throwing in Alpha Protocal and Binary Domain is just the icing on the cake. Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys some good action games. If you happen on the fence, let me reassure you that this is indeed worth the purchase. These games offer plenty and even if one isn't quite to your liking you will thoroughly enjoy one of the other great titles offered here. For the price of this pack you are truly grabbing an excellent deal and the time you spend with these games will feel worth it.
Great Action games with various genresspycid | Sept. 10, 2013 | See all spycid's reviews »
It's a great package for Action game lovers. Alpha Protocol is truly an espionage RPG game where the combat is also fun and enjoyable. Condemned Criminal Origins is one of the best horror games made by Monolith Productions. Despite the game being old, it is still relevant and a cult horror game. Aliens vs Predator is the best human vs alien game made ever. If you loved the movie then you will surely love this. Binary Domain is a 4-player futuristic fps which you can play with your friends also in 4-player co-op mode. Even if you have no internet you can play this as Single Player in offline mode. The game has some amazing boss fights and great futuristic soundtrack. Overall it is an amazing bundle made for all Action game lovers.
Another Hit Pack!Shanti | Sept. 9, 2013 | See all Shanti's reviews »
Alpha protocol is a very nuanced game, which gave inspiration to many more like Deus Ex HR. It deserves a playthrough from any serious gamer willing to forgive its minor faults :) Condemned CO is a cult classic horror game, even the staunchest of men will quiver playing it alone, and in the dark (for the best atmosphere). If you saw the movie Alien vs Predator, Merry Xmas! This will immerse you in the rich storyline from the get go. Three completely different campaigns will make you see each faction's viewpoint beautifully. With Steam cloud and Leaderboards, you'll get immense value and fun from the Multiplayer. Play as Aliens, Marines, or Predators completely your way. Binary domain was a game I enjoyed but let's say it was an acquired taste. You need to go through the horrible and long tutorial to get to the good part, but it's worth it. This isn't Mass effect, but its a really nice Action/Cover shooter in its own right, with limited RPG elements. The Voice command system is very innovative and quite bug-free, or you can use a shortcut to assign pre-set commands, so don't worry if you don't like using Voice. The story is really original and interesting as well. Multiplayer is a little lackluster. All in all, another great value pack on sale right now! So don't wait :)
Action package indeedlok0812 | Sept. 9, 2013 | See all lok0812's reviews »
A huge package for a lot of action games. Alpha Protocol is somewhat a good action game with a RPG element but plagued with horrible AI and weak story. Condemed is a great horror game that will give you a jump at your seat as this is one of the best horror game from the last generation. Alien vs. Predator is a great FPS game giving the player the ability to play as 3 different fractions each with its own story and skills as well as online multiplayer play. Lastly Binary Domain is a great TPS with the unique ability to communication with your AI teammates to help tackles the missions. A great package to get if you want to enjoy some great action games.

GPS - SNAFU or FUBAR?
By transparent I mean pilots must know some pretty detailed stuff about their GPS before they can use it under IFR. It used to be sufficient to 1) check the aircraft you were going to fly for an Approved Flight Manual supplement that stated the GPS receiver could be used under IFR, 2) verify the GPS database had not expired, and 3) perform a RAIM prediction. Contrast that with using a VOR receiver where the only regulatory requirement is that you perform and log a successful VOR check every 30 days. There is no operational test available to pilots to ensure proper glide slope receiver operation - I guess we're just supposed to accept that on faith. The bar has apparently been set much higher for GPS receivers and the databases they use.
Designing RNAV departure, arrival, and approach procedures that will keep pilots from running into stuff is a complicated business, which helps explain why the certification process for aviation GPS receivers is pretty darn complicated, too. But that complexity should be opaque as far as the pilot is concerned, the way it is for ILS, LOC, LDA, SDF, VOR, and NDB procedures. Instead of hiding the complexity for RNAV/GPS procedures, the FAA has published some of the GPS certification data in the AIM (cf. Table 1-1-5) and apparently they expect pilots to understand the various Technical Specification Orders (TSO) and Letters of Approval (LOA). Just what we pilots needed: More trivia, more acronyms, and more chances to break regulations without realizing it.
If you haven't already guessed why I'm grinding away on this topic, it's because AOPA (among others) recently realized that an update to AC 90-100A made in March of this year contains a bombshell - the only GPS receivers widely available for GA aircraft that are now approved for substitution for DME and ADF are the Garmin 400, 500, and G1000 series. Suddenly all the old Apollo units, the GNS 480, the Chelton Flight Systems units, and many of the King GPS units that thousands of pilots have been using as a substitution for DME and ADF are suddenly no longer approved for such uses. Oh, and these units can't be used to fly T-Routes either.
The affected GPS unit presumably still comply with the original TSO under which they were certificated, but they no longer comply with AC 90-100A. And let's not forget about all the Approved Flight Manual Supplements out there that say these GPS units are approved for these uses. One would assume that they are now incorrect. Talk about The large print giveth and the small print taketh away!
A reasonable person has to wonder "Why did it take until the end of May for this to become common knowledge?"
I've spent considerable time trying to parse AC 90-100A and AC 20-153 and the only thing that is crystal clear to me is that the FAA isn't making it easy for us pilots. Nor are the manufacturers of GPS receivers. It seems that the reason that the majority of GPS receivers certificated under TSO 129 have been rendered non-compliant is that the manufacturers do not have a Type 2 Letter of Approval (LOA) for the aviation databases that they generate for said GPS receivers. And if there is no Type 2 LOA, then the GPS receivers' use is restricted until such time as an LOA is granted by the FAA. For some GPS receivers, the LOA is pending while for others there are no plans to ever obtain an LOA, hence they will forever be limited.
The interesting thing here is that the FAA has recognized the importance of valid data for GPS receivers. I appreciate this as I had to point out to Garmin on at least one occasion that their database did not have all the initial approach fixes defined on a plate for an ILS approach to an airport in Northern California. Equally interesting is that a GPS that complies with the original requirements specified in the TSO years ago can still be rendered less useful after the fact by an advisory circular.
While you're contemplating that cascading chain of dominos, consider this spreadsheet which lists the compliance of virtually all GPS, RNAV, and FMS from Boeing to Rockwell. That spreadsheet was apparently created by someone at the FAA at the end of 2006.
So did the FAA not notify the manufacturers of the non-compliant hardware until a few weeks ago, even though they apparently knew this in December of 2006 and the updates to AC 90-100A were released in March of this year? For their parts, Garmin and Rockwell-Collins, posted their LOAs right around the time AC 90-100A was updated in March. But did the manufacturers notify their potential customers, customers who purchased their products, not to mention the pilots who don't own but use their equipment? I don't know the answers to these questions, but I wish I did.
With the push for ATC user fees, the FAA keeps talking about providing better service to their customers. Based on the state of FSS under Lockheed-Martin, this GPS fiasco, and the fact that virtually all Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Dassualt, and Gulfstream equipment already seem to be in compliance with AC 90-100A, one has to wonder just who are these customers the FAA keeps talking about?

you've listening to The Main Bang have you?
I'm only on the fringes and I'm worried. First the GPS controls are obviously designed by an engineer who ran away screaming anytime human factors was mentioned and now the FAA is following the same path.
As far as I know Mitre is the brains of the FAA and I have seen no work/studies from them on GPS human interface, design, functionality. Probably they haven't done anything on GPS databases either so of course no timely information was given to manufacturers of user community.
Until the Bush administration goes away and the FAA is replaced by another agency the system is just going to get worse.
I'm gonna go into the Light Sport hole and hide until its over.

Re: "There is no operational test available to pilots to ensure proper glide slope receiver operation" -- I'd have to disagree with that.
Approach plates always show the glideslope altitude at the final approach fix. For example, the ILS 19R approach at SNA shows an altitude of 2202' MSL over LEMON, the FAF for that approach.
The whole reason that's on there is so the pilot can cross check their glideslope receiver before descending too close to the ground.
Not as precise as a RAIM check, perhaps, but it does the job.
Regarding the Advisory Circular, I, too, perused the revised document and couldn't make heads or tails of it. It's beyond ridiculous that the CNX80 -- which in many ways is a generation ahead of the GNS400/500 series -- has been relegated to the bleachers, even if only temporarily.
John is right, the situation with the FAA and the Administration is only only going to get worse. I shudder to think what our once vibrant GA system will look like once they're done poisoning it.
- John said...
When I said "operational test" for glide slope operation, I meant prior to taking flight. The only way I know that a GS receiver can be tested prior to becoming airborne is by an avionics shop with the necessary equipment.
I agree that pilots should always verify their altitude on the GS when they can and the SNA ILS 19R is a good example. You can verify your altitude at LEMON because there is a DME distance and an outer marker. Either or both will tell you when you are over LEMON.
However there are ILS approaches where there is no way to tell your distance to the runway unless you have DME. The OAK ILS 27R is a good example. There is a DME distance published for CUVSA, but DME is not required for the full ILS approach.
So depending on how your aircraft is equipped and the approach you are flying, you may or may not know that your GS receiver is working properly. I had a GS receiver failure on the OAK ILS 27R approach in actual conditions, so I have some firsthand experience, but that's a story for another day.
When flying a plane with dual glide slope receivers, I recommend that both NAV radios be tuned to the localizer and that the pilot verify that the GS indications on the #1 and the #2 indicators agree.
- Ron said...
Fair enough. I figure virtually nobody is flying IFR these days without either DME or some sort of GPS unit. Even if it's just a cheap handheld not legal for IFR use, it can be used to confirm position over the final approach fix and cross check the glideslope.
A pre-flight glideslope check might prevent you from taking off with an inoperative glideslope, but it wouldn't necessarily point out a receiver or CDI that failed mid-flight any more than a RAIM check means you'll never have a RAIM alert on the approach.
The dual glideslope idea is good. Unlike DME or GPS, I'm not sure most aircraft are equipped with dual glideslope capability. Even the new glass airplanes only have a single HSI display. I always wondered why you couldn't display the glideslope information from both radios on the HSI in different colors, and have the system annunciate a warning if they deviated by more than a prescribed amount.
- Peter said...
I agree that there's no glideslope test you can do prior to flying an approach. But what about the localizer? There's no test for that either. At least if you find a bum glideslope at many locations you can execute a localizer approach. But how do you find out if the localizer works, or which of the two (if so equipped) is indicating correctly?
- John said...
AC 90-100A dated 3-1-2007 deals with requirements to perform RNAV 1 and RNAV 2 type RNAV routes and does not deal with whether or not a GPS can be used in lieu of a DME or ADF. I do not believe this AC is relevant to the "In Lieu of ADF and/or DME" discussion.
However, the AIM in chapter 1: Navigational Aids has had a section 1-1-19 (f), that has in the past described in detail the requirements for "Use of GPS in Lieu of ADF and DME". In the 3-15-2007 update to the AIM, the section was deleted. However, in Table 1-1-6 that is titled "GPS Approval Required/ Authorized Use", it still lists a column for "In Lieu of ADF and/or DME" and if the equipment is approved for: "IFR En Route and Terminal"; or "IFR Enroute, Terminal, and Approach"; or "IFR Oceanic / Remote"; then it lists it as authorized to substitute GPS in Lieu of ADF or DME with a note requiring that the database be current. This covers all IFR approved GPS navigators. What is missing from the AIM is the detail
guidance for how to use GPS in Lieu of ADF or DME. That section should be reinstated into the AIM IMHO.
- John said...
A LOC is very similar to a VOR except that it only broadcasts one course, so when you perform the VOR check you are also verifying (to some extent) that localizer reception will also function correctly.
The glideslope is a different animal altogether.
The section in the AIM about RNAV (formerly GPS) substition is now contained in 1-2-3(c) "Allowable Operations".
Section 1-2-3(b) "Allowable RNAV Equipment" says:
"Standalone GPS systems, compliant with AC 90-100, are included in this set of equipment. A list of compliant systems is available under "Policies & Guidance" at the following website: ..."
So either their documentation is messed up and confusing or several people (including folks at AOPA) have mis-interpreted what has been written.

Queen Rutela
this wiki
The ghost of Queen Rutela
|First appearance
|Twilight Princess (2006)
|Queen of the Zora
|Zora's Domain
|King Zora (husband)
Prince Ralis (son)
|Ghost, formerly Zora
- "The dark ones... They raided this village and, as a message to my people, executed me before them. Young man... You who takes the form of a proud beast... I have something to ask of you."
- — Queen Rutela
Queen Rutela is a character from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Her husband was King Zora, one of the many to hold this title. She also has a son, Prince Ralis. She ruled as queen of the Zora until she was executed in front of her own people as a message to those who may oppose Zant. She wears a pendant that resembles the Zora's Sapphire, as does her son. Interestingly, she is one of the few characters in the game to recognize Link in his wolf form. Her theme is a slightly altered version of the "Serenade of Water" from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
After Link restores the source of water at Zora's Domain, the ghost of Queen Rutela appears before Link. She thanks him for saving her people and requests that he aid her son, Prince Ralis, and ensure his safety. Link finds the Zora prince in Telma's bar in Hyrule Castle Town; however, he has fallen ill. Ilia was said to have found him, collapsed in the street, and brought him to the bar. Telma takes Prince Ralis to Kakariko Village, where a healer by the name of Renado resides. Along the way, Link protects their caravan against enemy attacks.
Once at Kakariko Village, Prince Ralis is taken safely to Renado, and Rutela appears before Link once more to thank him for rescuing her son. She then shows him the way to the hidden Zora tomb behind the graveyard, where Link finds the Zora Armor, a special suit of armor made from the scales of fallen Zora, that allows him to breathe underwater, by extent allowing him to enter the Lakebed Temple. After recovering, Prince Ralis explains that Queen Rutela also appeared to him, informing him about Link's appearance and deeds.
In the ending credits, Queen Rutela can be seen watching over her people and her son, Ralis.
Spoiler warning: Spoilers end here.
Queen Rutela's name is likely a reference to Princess Ruto from Ocarina of Time.

DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL, THIS SCREENING HAS BEEN CANCELED. A special interfaith opportunity to view a film and dialogue on the relationship of Islam, Judaism and Christianity. The Levantine Center's New Voices in Middle Eastern Cinema series and the Muslim Public Affairs Council's Hollywood Bureau are pleased to announce a special screening of Joel Fendelman's feature debut David, followed by a cast/crew Q & A with star Maz Jobrani, Pastor Craig Peterson, and LCC executive director Jordan Elgrably, on Wed., Jan. 18, 6:30 pm, at the Woodland Hills Community Church, 21338 Dumetz Rd., Woodland Hills CA 91364. Children 12 and under may enter free with parent or guardian. General admission is $10, members, students and seniors, $8. RSVP early to 310.657.5511 to save your seats.
David stars Maz Jobrani and Muatasem Mishal. New Voices in Middle Eastern Cinema is sponsored in part by a grant from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and by April Webster Casting.
As the son of the Imam of the local Brooklyn mosque, eleven year-old Daud has to juggle the high expectations of his father (played by Maz Jobrani) and his feelings of isolation and difference-even from his peers in the Muslim community. Through an innocent act of good faith, Daud inadvertently befriends a group of Jewish boys who mistake him for a fellow classmate at their orthodox school, in the neighboring Jewish community. A genuine friendship grows between Daud (who decides to go by the name of "David") and Yoav, one of the Jewish boys, and his family. Unable to resist the joy of a camaraderie that he has never felt before, David, as he is known to the kids, is drawn into a complicated dilemma inspired by youthful deceit and the best of intentions.
What People Are Saying
"I loved the film and the Q & A afterward was very thought-provoking." —Angelo Tsarouchas
"Bridging one of the world's defining sociopolitical rifts one 11-year-old at a time, [the] quietly engaging indie David brings charm, sympathy and understatement to its microcosmic story of a young Muslim Brooklynite whose circumstances lead him to pass as Jewish." —Dennis Harvey, Variety
"An exceptional film." —Ruth Broyde-Sharon
"David is a tender, well-acted, and bold religious drama that reveals the positive and life-affirming qualities of Islam and Judaism." —Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice.com
"It was a great movie." —Mo Khaledy, MD
"David packs in a long history of religious tension with elegance and respect. Its star, Muatasem Mishal, carries the film like a trained veteran. It's a story that should appeal to all ages and personal beliefs."—Kyle McKinnon, Sidewalk Moving Picture Film Fest
RSVP to 310.657.5511.
More About the Film
David is a street-level look at an eleven-year-old Muslim boy's struggle to fit in within his family, community, and wider world. What starts as an innocent mistake develops into an unlikely friendship. Two boys, both of conservative religious backgrounds, find commonality in each other. Their connection is born out of a closeness that reflects the unique positions of both the Arab and orthodox Jewish communities in America: they both strive to live modern lives while retaining their core religious and cultural virtues. David is first and foremost a story of friendship between two boys. The film questions the boundaries of our cultures and religions and looks at how static and yet fluid these boundaries can be. Visit the David web site.

Governor Christie loves to blast double-dipping Democratic lawmakers who defy him.
The governor also loves to praise double-dipping Democratic lawmakers who support him.
At a town hall forum in Brick Township Tuesday, Christie took aim at Sen. Paul Sarlo, a constant thorn in Christie's side. Christie called Sarlo an "arrogant S.O.B" and accused him of holding hostage Christie's promised tax cut. Christie also jabbed Sarlo for holding two elected jobs.
"Sen. Paul Sarlo, who by the way is one of those guys who one public job is not enough for him. He's also the mayor of Wood-Ridge . . . up in Bergen County. He's a mayor and he's a senator, so you get those two public pay checks."
Christie expressed no such disgust with Democratic Sen. Brian Stack, who also happens to be the Union City mayor.
In a town hall visit there in February 2011, Christie praised Stack., who has proven to be just as a reliable Christie-vote as the Senate's 16 Republican members.
"He is my ally and friend today, and he will be my ally and friend tomorrow and every day that I'm governor," Christie said.
Stack also was almost giddy introducing Christie to a packed audience inside a recreation center.
"I want to introduce you to the greatest governor this state has ever had," Stack declared.
Christie did criticize dual office holding later in the Union City event, declaring "one public job is enough" but he never singled out Stack for criticism.
Despite his storied career as a corruption-busting United States attorney, Christie has never made ethics reform a top priority as governor. He did roll out an ethics reform package in September 2010, which included a proposal limiting officials to one public job.
The package never went anywhere in the Legislature and Christie has never pushed it with same ardor that's he devoted to other issues, such pension reform.
During the Brick visit, Christie warmly greeted Steve Acropolis, the Republican mayor of Brick.
Acropolis is also the executive director of the Toms River Municipal Utilities Authority.

It may sound like something Victorian mothers used to advise their daughters about, but these days managing your reputation – or at least your online reputation – applies to us all.
Reputation management these days refers to the practice of monitoring the internet reputation or online presence of a person, brand or business, in order to either suppress negative mentions entirely, or push them lower on search engine results pages to decrease their visibility.
It's big business now too, for corporations seeking to protect and defend their expensive brands online.
Your own online reputation though, is your responsibility. If you're a freelancer or a small business (especially one trading under your own name), it's extremely likely that potential clients will search your name online.
Do you want them to find your business website, or those photographs of you on that Estonian stag do?
In recent years it's become incredibly easy to publish information about yourself on the internet. You may think that you manage your privacy sufficiently by limiting who can see this information on social networking sites etc, but your online identity is determined not only by what you post, but also by what others post about you, whether this be a mention in a blog post, a tagged picture or a reply to a publicly visible status update. When someone searches for your name on a search engine like Google, the results that appear are a combination of information you've posted and information published by others.
Google have this week released a new tool called 'Me on the Web' to help make it easier to monitor your identity on the web and to provide easy access to resources describing ways to control what information is on the web. This tool appears as a section of the Google dashboard and makes it easy to set up Google Alerts to notify you if somebody mentions your name or email addresses in websites and news stories. It can even automatically suggest some search terms you may want to monitor.
Writing on the Google Public Policy Blog Product Manager Andreas Tuerk, said:
'This is just one of our first steps in continuing to explore ways to help make managing your identity online simpler.'
If you want to keep track of your online reputation, we'd recommend setting up Google Alerts, so you can see whenever you are mentioned!

O'Neill concerned by Russian Import ban
Agriculture Minister Michelle ONeill today commented on the import ban imposed by Russia on EU agri food produce.
~ Friday, 8 August 2014
She said: "This politically motivated import ban by Russia on EU agri food produce is an unfortunate turn of events. My Department works hard to open new markets to help grow our agri food sector. Russia represents a market of particular interest to our meat exporters, particularly pork producers. This ban could have potentially greater implications for the future growth of our exports given we may be unable to progress negotiations as we had hoped.
"My Department will keep a watching brief on the issue, keep exporters apprised of the Russian trade restrictions and continue to support them in exporting to other countries ."
Notes to editors:
- Russia has imposed a ban on a range of food commodities including meat, dairy and fish exports from the European Union, United States and other western countries. This will be in place for a year.
- All media queries should be directed to the DARD Press Office on 028 9052 4619 or email the DARD Press Office. Out of office hours please contact the duty press officer via pager number 07699 715 440 and your call will be returned.

I took this in a part ex for my E28 bmw last month. The car has been stood since 1998ish in a dry lock up and the previous owner has done bits to it since then but never got it on the road, it was his dads before him. The car has a vast amount of history and bills for work done since new. It was zi-barted/wax oiled/underbody sealed from new and this reflects the great condition. theres no rot underneath, with just a little bit starting on the rear cills. the interior in again in great condition.theres a few niggley bits on the car, but only minor cosmetic. theres a couple of grey patches where the body has had some work done, but as you can see in the pics, its nothing realy. It drives great and is ready to drive.Best bet is come and have a look.Any questions contact me on 07971990368, I'm not at my computer alot as work is realy busy running up to xmas.Attachments:

People close to an investigation of the Blackwater private security company say federal prosecutors are considering filing weapons charges against the firm's former president and two other former employees.
They tell The Associated Press the potential charges stem from a probe into whether the firm illegally stockpiled automatic rifles at the company's North Carolina headquarters. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the investigation.
A spokesman for the firm declined to comment, and the former company president now under scrutiny, Gary Jackson, said he'd heard nothing of possible charges. The company has changed its name from Blackwater to Xe

Pushing the Boundary: Becoming a Possibilist
I am neither an optimist nor pessimist, but a possibilist.
– Max Lerner
The recent debate over the importance of social media in particular and the internet in general for collective action and revolutions made me think about the different ways in which people seem to approach that question.
The optimist's point of view
First, there are what might be called the optimists. These are internet evangelists who think that the internet will naturally improve every branch of society and every aspect of life. That the paradigm shift brought along by the internet and the power of digital connection and communication is in itself sufficient to make our lives better over time.
I think I might have considered myself part of that camp when I was younger. Internet optimists have a natural tendency to overestimate the velocity at which certain changes will happen and to underestimate or even neglect the risks inherent in these changes. Optimists tend to believe that things will somehow turn out all right in the end.
The pessimist's point of view
The pessimists are characterized by just about the opposite point of view, namely a perception of the internet's significance that overstates the risks and understates possible benefits. Most of the time, a technology pessimist worries about possible bad consequences of new technologies and about how to mitigate them.
Advanced pessimists publish frequent apocalyptic prophecies and warnings, using a language that is designed to instigate fear and hysterical reactions. Cyberwar and cyberterrorism come to mind. Often, internet pessimists are just as far off in their predictions as comparably radical optimists.
What optimists and pessimists have in common
Both optimists and pessimists have a hard time making the right trade-offs. Since they overestimate the importance and probability of either positive or negative outcomes as opposed to different outcomes, the consequences drawn from their premises do not match well with what is happening in reality. By getting the trade-offs wrong, they are operating with a skewed perception of reality and often miss important opportunities or risks diverging from their mental framework.
I stated above that I might have considered myself an optimist once. That is because I, too, am an internet evangelist. I believe that the internet changes nearly all aspects of our lives and that it opens up tremendous opportunities for improvement. But I am also a scientist, and the optimist's point of view does not fit the scientist's mindset very well. That is why I would not consider myself an optimist anymore.
Scientific judgments are based on actual data. The whole debate over whether or not the internet helps revolutions unfold or not is a pretty irrational one since there is almost no data that might be used to support either point of view. What we need instead are in-depth analyses and scientific studies to measure the impact of digital tools such as social media on the ability of groups of people to successfully overthrow a coercive government. So which point of view could a scientist have?
The realist's point of view
Very common among rational people is what might be called the realist's point of view. The realist acts in good faith and tries to get the trade-offs right. He reasons in a way more compatible with the scientific mindset and urges not to draw the wrong conclusions whenever the available data is inconclusive or insufficient.
Besides the good intentions, the realist often acts and talks just like a pessimist, albeit without the exagerration and hysteria of a pessimist. Why is that? Realists tend to think about the past more than about the future. They tend to evaluate present developments based on what has been possible in the past and, just like pessimists, they are unable to assess the new possibilities the future might bring. In short, they lack imagination. The problem is that a lack of imagination often leads to inaction.
The possibilist's point of view
Enter the possibilist. The possibilist constantly imagines the seemingly impossible and pushes the boundary to see for himself what is possible. The possibilist expects opportunities everywhere but is neither sad nor angry when an opportunitity cannot be realized. Possibilists learn from failure and move on, seeking the next possibility.
While realists are characterized by constant assessment, possibilists are characterized by action. While realists sit in think tanks, possibilists sit in do tanks. Possibilists never assume that they are right. They do not deny risks or dangers. Instead, they know that every development can turn either way, good or bad. They work hard to make sure that outcomes are good.
While realists try to debunk the prophecies of both internet optimists and internet pessimists, possibilists like Wael Ghonim and Shervin Pishevar try to push the boundary to invent new tools, drive change, amplify social transformation, and make the impossible possible. Whether Facebook or Twitter are actual shields against future genocide is irrelevant. What counts is the mere possibility that they might be, and the actions we take to devise even better tools to help people live in freedom and peace.
If anything, I would like to be a possibilist.
Note: The term possibilism refers to certain branches of philosophy and political history. What I refer to here is the idea of a pragmatic possibilism advocated, among others, by Hans Rosling.

23.2: Oxidation – Reduction
Lesson Objectives
The student will:
- assign the correct oxidation number to any element in a compound or ion.
- identify the substance being oxidized, the substance being reduced, the oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent in an oxidation-reduction equation.
- oxidation
- oxidation number
- oxidizing agent
- redox reaction
- reducing agent
- reduction
Many important chemical reactions involve the exchange of one or more electrons. The stoichiometric calculations that chemists make on chemical reactions require a balanced equation. The "inspection" method for balancing equations works well and quickly for many reactions, but when a more complex electron exchange is involved, a new method for equation balancing is needed.
Definition of Oxidation and Reduction
After Lavoisier, a substance was said to be oxidized when it reacted with oxygen. A reaction with oxygen was called oxidation. Today, the words "oxidized" and "oxidation" are still used for those situations, but these words have now acquired a much broader, second meaning. The broader sense of oxidation is defined as losing electrons. When a substance reacts with oxygen, it almost always loses electrons to the oxygen, so we are simply extending the term oxidation to mean losing electrons, whether it is to oxygen or to any other substance.
The other half of this process, the gaining of electrons, also needs a name. When an atom or an ion gains electrons, the positive charge on the particle is decreased. For example, if a neutral sulfur atom (charge of 0) gains two electrons, its charge becomes , and if an ion gains an electron, its charge changes from to . In both cases, the charge on the particle is reduced by the gain of electrons. Reduction means the gain of electrons. In chemical systems, oxidation and reduction must occur simultaneously, so the number of electrons during oxidation must be the same as the number of electrons gained during reduction. In oxidation-reduction reactions, electrons are transferred from one substance to another. Here's an example of an oxidation–reduction reaction:
In this reaction, the silver ions are gaining electrons to become silver atoms. Therefore, the silver ions are being reduced. The copper atoms are losing electrons to become copper ions and are being oxidized. Whenever a chemical reaction involves electrons being transferred from one substance to another, the reaction is an oxidation–reduction reaction. An oxidation-reduction reaction can also be referred to as a redox reaction for short.
Oxidizing and Reducing Agents
When a substance is oxidized, it loses electrons. In chemical reactions, this requires that another substance take on those electrons and be reduced. Therefore, when a substance undergoes oxidation, it causes another substance to be reduced. The substance that caused another substance to be reduced is called a reducing agent. As you can see, the substance undergoing oxidation and the reducing agent are the same substance.
Similarly, when a substance gains electrons, it is reduced. By gaining electrons, it is causing some other substance to give up those electrons. Therefore, by undergoing reduction, the substance is causing another substance to be oxidized and is called an oxidizing agent. Again, the substance undergoing reduction and the oxidizing agent are the same substance.
In the oxidation-reduction reaction above, silver ions are being reduced and are the oxidizing agent. Similarly, copper atoms are being oxidized and are the reducing agent. These substances are always on the reactant side of the equation.
Oxidation Numbers
In order to balance oxidation and reduction reaction equations, it is necessary to have a bookkeeping system to keep track of the transferred electrons. The bookkeeping system chemists use to keep track of electrons in oxidation-reduction reactions is called oxidation numbers. The assignment of oxidation numbers to all the atoms or ions in a reaction follows a set of rules. For the most part, these rules will have the oxidation number of a particle be the number of electrons the atom has gained or lost from its elemental state. For example, for a ion, the calcium ion has clearly lost two electrons from its elemental form, so its oxidation number is . Similarly, it is clear that a fluoride ion, , has gained one electron from its elemental state and has an oxidation number of .
The first rule for assigning oxidation numbers is for substances in their elemental form. Substances in elemental form have oxidation numbers of zero. It is clear that substances in elemental form have neither gained nor lost any electrons from their elemental state (Table below).
|Oxidation Number
The second rule for assigning oxidation numbers is for monatomic ions. For monatomic ions, the oxidation number is the same as the charge on the ion. Again, it should be apparent that the charge on the ion is an indication of how many electrons have been gained or lost. Table below shows examples of oxidation numbers for monatomic ions.
|Oxidation Number
The third rule is for the atoms of family IA, the alkali metals, in compounds. Alkali metals always lose their single valence electron when they combine. Therefore, for IA metals, the oxidation number in compounds is (see Table below for examples).
|Oxidation Number for the Alkali Metal
The fourth rule is for the atoms of family IIA, the alkali earth metals, in compounds. Alkali earth metals always lose both of their valence electrons when they combine chemically, so for IIA metals, the oxidation number in compounds is (see Table below for examples).
|Oxidation Number for the Alkali Earth Metal
The fifth rule concerns hydrogen atoms when they are in compounds. In the great majority of compounds that hydrogen forms, it either completely or at least partially loses that electron. In compounds where hydrogen is the more electropositive atom, the oxidation number for hydrogen is (see Table below for examples).
|Oxidation Number for Hydrogen
There is, however, an exception to this rule for hydrogen. It is possible for hydrogen to form compounds with some metals that are even more electropositive than hydrogen. In these cases, hydrogen becomes an electron acceptor instead of an electron donor. Active metals lose or partially lose their valence electrons to hydrogen. Since hydrogen is acting as the more electronegative element in these compounds, the compounds are named hydrides (see examples in Table below). In hydrides, the oxidation number of hydrogen is .
|Oxidation Number for Hydrogen
|(lithium hydride)
|(sodium hydride)
|(magnesium hydride)
The sixth rule is about the oxidation number of oxygen in compounds. Oxygen is a very electronegative element that draws two electrons completely or partially from a bonding element in almost all of its compounds. Therefore, the oxidation number for oxygen in compounds is almost always (see examples in Table below).
|Oxidation Number for Oxygen
Like hydrogen, there is an exception to the rule for oxygen. In a group of compounds named "peroxides" (hydrogen peroxide , sodium peroxide , etc.), each of the oxygen atoms shares a bond with the other oxygen atom. Therefore, the oxygen atoms only accept one electron from the other element, so oxygen has an oxidation number of in peroxides (see examples in Table below).
|Oxidation Number for Oxygen
Some other elements exhibit only one possible gain, loss, or sharing of electrons when they form compounds. Aluminum, for example, always loses or partially loses three electrons when it forms compounds, so its oxidation number in compounds is . Zinc always loses or partially loses two electrons when it combines, so its oxidation number in compounds is . The halogens (family VIIA) always gain one electron in binary compounds and would have an oxidation number of in these compounds. Some of the halogen atoms form compounds where there are three elements, and one of them is oxygen (, for example). In these compounds, the halogen atom is almost never .
There will be quite a few atoms whose oxidation number may be different in different compounds. For these, you will have to calculate their oxidation numbers. To allow you make such calculations, there is a general rule that the sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms in a compound must be zero, and the sum of all the oxidation numbers of the atoms in a polyatomic ion must equal the charge on the ion.
What is the oxidation number of sulfur in ?
We have three pieces of information that will allow us to calculate the oxidation number of sulfur. We know that the sum of the oxidation numbers of all the atoms will equal zero.
We also know the oxidation number of sodium from rule is and the oxidation number of oxygen from rule is . We simply plug these values into the equation and solve for the oxidation number of sulfur.
- so
What is the oxidation number of chromium in ?
- so
What is the oxidation number of nitrogen in the nitrate ion, ?
- so
What is the oxidation number of phosphorus in the phosphate ion, ?
- so
What is the oxidation number of iron in ?
- so
What is the oxidation number of iron in ?
This example was chosen specifically to make a point.
- so
In this case, we get an oxidation number that is not a whole number. Since this number supposedly represents the number of electrons gained or lost from the elemental state, we should feel uncomfortable about an oxidation number of . We know that an atom did not lose a fraction of an electron. The reason that the oxidation number appears to be fractional is because some of the iron atoms in lost 3 electrons, and some lost 2. Another way to represent this molecule is as FeO•Fe2O3. In this case, it is easy to see that the Fe attached to one O is in a +2 oxidation state, whereas the in the is in the +3 oxidation state.
Lesson Summary
- Oxidation is the loss of electrons or a gain in oxidation number.
- Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation number.
- The oxidizing agent is the substance causing oxidation and is itself reduced.
- The reducing agent is the substance causing reduction and is itself oxidized.
- Oxidation and reduction always occur simultaneously.
- A reaction involving the gain and loss of electrons is called an oxidation-reduction or redox reaction.
- We use a bookkeeping system called oxidation numbers to keep track of the electrons gained and lost during a redox reaction.

help me find a fish
i have 3 silver hatchet 2 black kuhli loaches 6 neon tetras 3 ghost shrimp and 1 small african dwarf frog in a 55 gal tank.
im looking for a very active fish that stays in schools and also looks cool.. any 1 have any ideas? im thinking ballon mollys they look cool i dont know how active they are..also any oddball fish ideas would be cool. so far the fish i have are to me at least not the usuall fish i wanna keep this theme going.. i also saw bamboo shrimp what do u guys think of that. also they say to keep these loaches 3 or more or they wont be as active. if i get 2 more golden kuhli loaches will that count as 3 or more or do they have to be exactly the same kind of loach
Before you get anything else, you should get 3 to 6 more hatchets and 4 more kuhlis. The hatchets will live much longer if you have a school of 6 or more, and since they can be tricky, you will want to have enough so that a couple of losses won't drop the school below 6. Kuhlis tend to be much bolder and more visible in schools of 6 or more, but it's not actually a health issue like it can be with hatchets. You should stick with black kuhlis unless you get a school of 6 black and one of 6 gold. In that case they'll probably mix from time to time.
If it were me, I'd probably double the size of my neon school as well. 6 is a minimum.
ADFs may (may not too) be able to eat small neons, so bear that in mind.
A centerpiece fish is kind of tricky here. With somewhat skittish fish top, center and bottom, you'll need to find something that's not going to harass or eat them.
I might go with a pearl gourami (or two if you're heavily planted). I'd stay away from mollies. The rest of the fish in your tank are softwater - no salt at all, and mollies do best in hard water with a little salt.
Actually, if you went with 8 Hatchets, 6 black kuhlis, 15 neons, and 6 bleeding heart, pristella, or lemon tetras, that'd make a really nice tank.

Predator surveillance drone finds Border Patrol catches half of illegal crossers
WASHINGTON A sophisticated airborne radar system developed to track Taliban fighters planting roadside bombs in Afghanistan has found a new use along the U.S. border with Mexico, where it has revealed gaps in security.
Operated from a Predator surveillance drone, the radar system has collected evidence that Border Patrol agents apprehended fewer than half of the foreign migrants and smugglers who had illegally crossed into a 150-square-mile stretch of southern Arizona.
The number of "gotaways," as the Border Patrol calls those who escape apprehension, is more precise and higher than official estimates.
According to internal reports, Border Patrol agents used the airborne radar to help find and detain 1,874 people in the Sonora Desert between Oct. 1 and Jan. 17. But the radar system spotted an additional 1,962 people in the same area who evaded arrest and disappeared into the United States.
In contrast, the Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, estimated in January the Border Patrol had caught 64 percent of those who illegally crossed into the Tucson sector in 2011.
The new tally of unlawful border crossings could complicate White House efforts to pass comprehensive immigration reform after Congress returns from recess next week.
The Obama administration contends America's borders are more strictly policed than ever, with nearly 365,000 apprehensions last year. Republicans have demanded more guards, drones, fencing and other security measures before legal status is granted to the estimated 11 million people believed to have entered America illegally or overstayed their visas.
President Barack Obama is scheduled to visit Mexico in early May, and efforts to maintain rigorous border security are likely to be among his priorities in discussions with Mexico's newly elected president, Enrique Peña Nieto.
The new system is called Vader, for Vehicle Dismount and Exploitation Radar. It was borrowed from the Army's Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland and has been deployed in Arizona since March 2012.
Michael Friel, a spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said the tests have gone well enough that the agency has asked Congress to allocate money to purchase two more Vader systems. Each system costs about $5 million per year to maintain and operate.

Why is it flashing F and H in display window
turn on normal cycle, was fine for about 3-4 min, started to beep and flash H and F in display window
Is this a good question?
turn on normal cycle, was fine for about 3-4 min, started to beep and flash H and F in display window
Is this a good question?
I believe that those are error codes....isn't it great to have a washer that checks itself :) anyhow some of the codes are
"F20" (Water Inlet Problem—no water or insufficient water supply)
Select STOP twice to cancel the cycle. Unplug washer or disconnect power.
"F21" (Drain Problem)Select STOP twice to cancel disconnect power.
"SUD" (Suds Routine)When excessive suds are detected, a suds routine
automatically starts. This routine removes extra suds and assures proper rinsing of your garments. "SUD" is displayed during rinsing to inform you that Suds Routine was activated.
"F22" (Front door lock)Select STOP twice to cancel the cycle.
"F" Codes other than F20, F21 and F22
Select STOP twice to cancel the cycle. Select if there is excessive water in the washer.
I believe that the HF is the error code for a water inlet issue. You need to ensure that the unit is getting both hot and cold water if so the pressure switch will need to be replaced. The switch is located on the top right of the unit.
These should be in your user manual. Hope this explains a little bit about your display. Good luck

Analyst Blog
The Wendy's Company (WEN - Analyst Report) has kept its trend of introducing new salads for the summer season. The restaurant chain recently introduced the Strawberry Fields Chicken Salad for a limited period of time. The full-size offering of the salad costs $6.49, while the half-sized one has a price tag of $4.49.
Wendy's' Strawberry Fields Chicken Salad features California strawberries, blue cheese, red onions, sunflower seeds, chopped chicken breast and lettuce. It also comes with a Marzetti Simply Dressed Apple Balsamic Vinaigrette made with apple juice, bacon, balsamic vinegar, shallots and Dijon mustard.
Wendy's is revamping its salad line to strengthen its position in the highly competitive fast-food industry. Customers looking for healthy and low-carbohydrate options — key targets for Wendy's — prefer salads. In fact, in March this year, Wendy's introduced two salads with additional fresh vegetables — Asian cashew chicken and BBQ ranch chicken salads — besides revamping its Garden Side Salad. In our view, the low fat levels and the attractive price range of these salads will attract customers.
Lately, the U.S. eateries are serving a healthier menu to cater to consumer preferences for fresh, organic, nutritious and low-calorie food. This has also prompted some restaurant chains to offer gluten-free (wheat-free) products. Though not exactly lower in calories, these food items provide alternative choices for people with dietary restrictions. Such restaurant chains include Domino's Pizza Inc. (DPZ - Analyst Report), which offers gluten-free crusts, and Dunkin' Donuts owned by Dunkin' Brands Group Inc. (DNKN - Analyst Report) offering gluten-free pastries in some markets.
Wendy's currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). A better-ranked stock in the same sector is Buffalo Wild Wings Inc. (BWLD - Analyst Report), which sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Demon Hunter Unveil New Guitarist and New Album
Jason Le Miere | Jan 05, 2012 | Comments 1 | Tags: Demon Hunter, Jeremiah Scott, Ryan Clark
Demon Hunter have revealed that they have enlisted Jeremiah Scott (the Showdown) as their new rhythm guitarist and that the now five-piece has finished tracking their new album. The record is tentatively scheduled for an April release.
"This record is without a doubt our most aggressive," said vocalist and band co-founder Ryan Clark. "Every Demon Hunter record must be a step up from the last. I know that's a goal for every band, but it seldom works that way–especially today, especially in metal. It seems like most bands' prime years are long behind them. I refuse to let that be the case for us.
"We've been extremely underwhelmed with metal for the last five years or so, and that's been the fuel to create this record. With an extreme over-saturation of false, fleeting, trend-hopping noise in today's metal scene, we had to make something we've been longing to hear. Something truly meaningful and artistic. Something our fans would love and something that will turn the heads of those who have ignored us for the past decade."
The band has also announced they will play a show at Seattle's El Corazon on April 27.

Down to Earth
Frances Lincoln, 2004 - Gardening - 191 pages
First published in 1971, Down to Earth is a gardening classic: a treasury of gardening ideas on a wide range of topics. Ideas on designing and planting, ideas for the winter garden and the wild garden, ideas for planting the odd corner or filling the August gap, ideas for hedges and climbing plants, paths and windbreaks, ideas on books to read and gardens to visit.
Anne Scott-James, a devoted but amateur gardener, writes about her own garden, made, like so many, with too little time, money and professional help, full of imperfections but a continual source of pleasure. She also writes about many other gardens all over Britain, and the practical and imaginative ideas she has collected from them. The text is engagingly illustrated with cartoons by her husband, Osbert Lancaster.

Something really awesome happened at our house Oct. 5. I am a senior citizen and my husband is in a nursing home. One of the Love Madera groups came and made what's left of our yard look good, and some of them left before I could thank them properly, so I'm turning to our trusty local newspaper.
This group apparently was mainly from the Madera Kiwanis Club, headed by Tiffany Miller, and ably assisted by another beautiful woman — I think her name was Staci. There were several men who came but the only other name I got was "Baldy" and only he would know who I mean, as he said my husband, who is bald, used to call him that.
When I told my husband about the work that was done, he cried. Of course, when this formerly tough guy cries, we all cry. But we are so thankful and grateful and wish and hope and believe that the Lord will shower blessings on each of you. Of course that goes as well for everyone who participated in Saturday's event, all the leaders and all the workers, but I'm hoping for something special for the group that came to us.

This view shows enzymes only for those organisms listed below, in the list of taxa known to possess the pathway. If an enzyme name is shown in bold, there is experimental evidence for this enzymatic activity.
Synonyms: vitamin B1 biosynthesis IV (eukaryotes), thiamine diphosphate biosynthesis (plants)
|Biosynthesis → Cofactors, Prosthetic Groups, Electron Carriers Biosynthesis → Vitamins Biosynthesis → Thiamine Biosynthesis
Some taxa known to possess this pathway include : Arabidopsis thaliana col, Plasmodium falciparum, Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Expected Taxonomic Range: Alveolata, Fungi, Viridiplantae
General Background
Thiamine diphosphate, also known as vitamin B1, is known to play a fundamental role in energy metabolism. It is an essential cofactor for a variety of enzymes such as
pyruvate dehydrogenase,
pyruvate decarboxylase, and
α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
[Lawhorn04]. Its discovery followed from the original early research on the anti-beriberi factor found in rice bran. Beriberi, a neurological disease, was particularly prevalent in Asia, where the refining of rice resulted in the removal of the thiamine-containing husk
[Begley96]. Thiamine is synthesized de novo by microorganisms, plants and some lower eukaryotes (e.g.
About This Pathway
The thiamine biosynthesis pathway illustrated here has been most extensively studied in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the plant Arabidopsis thaliana col.
Thiamine phosphate is formed by the coupling of two moieties, the pyrimidine 4-amino-2-methyl-5-diphosphomethylpyrimidine and the thiazole 4-methyl-5-(2-phosphonooxyethyl)thiazole, which are produced by two different pathways. In eukaryotes thiamine phosphate is first dephosphorylated into thiamine, which is diphosphorylated to thiamine diphosphate, the activive form of thiamine.
The occurrence of thiamine triphosphate in plants has also been demonstrated; however the physiological function of that compound remains to be shown [Makarchikov03].
While many of the enzymes involved in eukaryotic thiamine biosynthesis have been identified, most of the enzymes have not been extensively characterized at a biochemical level. Moreover, several steps in the pathway require further clarification. For example, the source of the sulfur in thiazole has not been identified, and the gene encoding the putative TMP phosphatase has not been discovered.
The subcellular compartmentalization of thiamine biosynthesis is also a subject of on-going investigation. The Arabidopsis proteins TH1, ThiC, and TH1 all localize to the chloroplasts [Raschke07, Kong08, Ajjawi07, Chabregas01], but THI1 can also localize to the mitochondria [Chabregas01]. The downstream TPK1 and TPK2 enzymes are both cytosolic in Arabidopsis [Ajjawi07a], suggesting that intermediates in the vitamin B1 biosynthesis pathway may need to be transported out of organelles for thiamine diphosphate synthesis to be completed. In addition, because TPP is used as a cofactor for enzymes present in different organelles, TPP transporters likely exist as well [Ajjawi07a].
