as we had been to the rhodes apartments 2 years earlier and had a really good time we decided to go back taking our daughter, son in law and 2 grandchildren with us, we sang its praises, its a family run place but this year the mother was not their she had retired, now i dont know if she had been the main person who sorted out all the entertainment before, but the only thing they offered was turkish night, which is ok i suppose but no one wanted to go to it so it didnt happen. my wife, son and i stayed on the top floor of the apartments and every morning first thing the cleaning lady started in our room, after being up all night some days you just wanted a lay in but as she did not speak english it was pointless trying to explain, but other than that if i had to give points out of ten for this accommodation it would be 9/10 would i go back the service was great you were treat like their only guest that mattered yes i would go back
This is the second holiday to Turkey for my partner and myself - did Side last year. Our holiday this time surpassed last years which we didn't expect could happen. Icmeler is a beautiful resort. The scenery is wonderful with mountains as a backdrop from the beach. The Rhodes Apartments are very well situated, being a 15 minute walk away from the main area of the resort and the beach. The apartments are cleaned each day though linen wasn't. The food preparation facilities were adequate to make breakfast (we ate out each night at some superb restaurants - Henadan highly recommended). There is plenty to do in the resort and it caters for all age groups. The walk along the promenade is spectacular in either direction. We took a taxi boat to Marmaris and walked the full length back (leisurely stroll) earning a well earned rest on one of the many sunbeds situated on the beach. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Icmeler and The Rhodes Apartments and will DEFINITELY be returning.

It's like they always say – if you can't beat 'em, try anyway and fail miserably.
People might not actually say that, but that doesn't mean the words don't fit the upcoming Bonnie & Clyde to a T. Starring Emile Hirsch as Clyde Barrow and Holliday Grainger as Bonnie Parker, the newest attempt to surpass Arthur Penn's 1967 classic is a TV movie that will undoubtedly fall short. Watch the trailer below to find out why.
Whoever edited this trailer has an incredibly literal mind, because nearly every line in the accompanying song – "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" – is given some kind of visual representation. "He wore black and I wore white" is accompanied with Clyde in black and Bonnie in white. And so many repetitions of "bang bang" are synced up to gunshots or William Hurt banging his elbow against a closet. Of course, considering that this trailer is composed almost entirely of guns being fired, a few "bang bangs" had to fit in somewhere.
That's all this Bonnie & Clyde seems to offer: repetitive sex and gun violence. And considering that it'll be airing on TV (on multiple channels – one of them Lifetime, which should give you a hint about the overall quality) it's doubtful all that sex and violence will even be that taboo.
Bonnie & Clyde will be airing December 8 and 9 at 9PM on A&E, Lifetime, and History.

Conference brings cyber policies, solutions to Maxwell
by Air University Public Affairs Staff reports
Air University
10/19/2012 -
MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Al
-- The Air Force Research Institute held its second annual cyber power conference Oct. 10-11 at Maxwell's Officer Training School, creating a forum where policy makers and practitioners could look at ways to organize a unified response to cyberattacks.
Cyber Power: The Quest Toward a Common Ground covered a variety cyberspace issues and included 14 workshops that focused on strategic policy.
The conference wrapped up a year-long research effort by AFRI called Project Cyber Power. The first phase of this project, held in April, was a workshop on cyber power, national security and military operation. In August, AFRI convened another workshop to examine private sector roles and responsibilities within the context of organizing national cyber power.
"We conducted this series to contribute to a better understanding of the structural sources of cybersecurity challenges and to identify whole-of-society approaches to serve as framework for identifying solutions and better-informed policies." said Dr. Panayotis Yannakogeorgos, research professor of cyberpolicy and global affairs at the AFRI.
Keynote speakers at the cyber conference helped frame the thematic issues discussed during the breakout sessions. Speakers included Dr. Peter Fonash from the Department of Homeland Security; Joe Weiss, an industrial control system security expert; 24th Air Force Commander Maj. Gen. Suzanne Vautrinot; retired Brig. Gen. Guy Walsh from U.S. Cyber Command; Shingo Ito from the Japanese Ministry of Defense; and Jody Westby, an expert on global cyber risk.
Following the keynote speeches, participants split into breakout sessions to debate the questions posed. Some of the sessions examined how the military and the private sector can work together when relating cyberspace issues to both military and civilian applications.
"I designed the project so as to stimulate and develop experientially informed, interdisciplinary research on how to improve interagency effectiveness, private sector collaboration and international partnerships," Yannakogeorgos said. "Breakout sessions were used to assure that the conference was an interactive knowledge exchange amongst participants. "
One breakout session covered how responsibilities concerning cyber power may be fulfilled by U.S. government agencies and the Department of Defense, along with evaluating what cybertasks are better for private sector organizations to accomplish.
Other sessions focused on scenarios concerning the circumstances that may occur making it acceptable for the United States to use cyberweapons as a means to ensure political stability without the use of conventional forces.
The conference closed with a forum addressing what current cyberspace experts recommend as possible approaches to the use of cyberspace to influence different global actors for the purpose of achieving global and regional stability.
"The result of our long-term efforts will be the sharing of experiences and selected best practices as a viable, near-term basis for transforming interagency cybersecurity cooperation," Yannakogeorgos said. "This project will also frame strategic issues and suggest plausible directions to the Air Force Institute of Technology, leading the effort to establish Air University's Cyber Air Corps Tactical School."

Gaza Crisis
Situation Overview
On 7 July 2014, a humanitarian emergency was declared in the Gaza Strip, following a severe escalation in hostilities, involving intense Israeli aerial and navy bombardment and Palestinian rocket fire. Hostilities de-escalated following an open-ended ceasefire which entered into force on 26 August. The scale of destruction, devastation and displacement during the 50 days of conflict is unprecedented in Gaza, since at least the start of the Israeli occupation in 1967. The humanitarian impact of these hostilities comes against a backdrop of heightened vulnerability and instability in Gaza. In the aftermath, the humanitarian community is working hard to respond to the needs of all 1.8 residents of the Gaza Strip while advocating for transformational changes, including a lifting of the 7-year-old blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip.
Facts and Figures
Palestinians killed, including at least 1,483 civilians, of whom 521 are children and 283 are women.
Israelis killed, including 66 soldiers, a security coordinator and four civilians. One foreign national civilian was also killed in Israel.
Palestinians displaced at the height of the hostilities; Over 100,000 still displaced.
Housing units destroyed or severely damaged.
Palestinians homeless
As of 15 October 2014
Data on fatalities is consolidated by the Protection Cluster, led by OHCHR, and is subject to change based on further verifications. For sources of other information, see the reports below.

All the best guys ! Make the best of this one year
I cleared PMP 10 days ago. My suggestion - Refer one book only . Rita Mulcahy is a good book that I referred. Practice reasonable no of questions : not too less not too much and definitely attempt a couple of full length mocks so that you can better manage time in the exam and work on speed and accuracy both.
where can I take a diagnostic test to assess my current level in order to start my GMAT prep? Any plan that you guys suggest. I am targeting GMAT by May end.
I am not opting for the course but I did enquire about the loan at the same branch. Actually you will get the normal loan but not the special category loan that MDI comes in . so you will get the loan at higher interest rate and other benefits of special category loan would also be absent. It will be just like a normal education loan for any random university/college.The moment I said I appeared for MDI test , the loan guy gave me a look as if I am an SC/ST candidate and have somehow managed to get in IIM A at low %ile
Thanks @LedZepppelin . I plan to take classes for gmat. Let's see how it goes . I think 2 months should be good enough with full weekends and 2 hours on weekdays...
Hey guys I am also preparing for GMAT . I was selected for MDI one year ex this year but I plan to write GMAT and apply to other schools as well next year. I have 9 years work ex in IT . decent acads. Any valuable inputs would be appreciated
Hey puys Any thoughts on MDI NMP especially for IT folks with heavy work experience? Is GMP better?
Mine was also on the same lines ...but I dont think it lasted for more than 10 minutes
good luck to all

Throughout the day, 6.9 million shares of Dollar General Corporation exchanged hands as compared to its average daily volume of 3.4 million shares.

The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, impressive record of earnings per share growth, compelling growth in net income, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and notable return on equity.

National Academy advises president on science, technology
Mike Baskes: Helped produce better materials for cars, nuclear weapons.
Peter Farrell: Heads ResMed (products are used to treat sleep apnea)
Juan Lasheras: Holds 44 patents, known for his work in biomechanics
Robert Skelton: Worked on the Hubble Space Telescope
Four San Diego-area engineers, whose work in such areas as medical devices and bridge construction greatly advanced their fields, have been elected to the National Academy of Engineering, the elite honorific and research society.
NAE is part of the National Academy of Sciences, which was created during the Lincoln administration to advise the president and Congress on science and technology. The Academy, as it's often called, includes such well-known figures as Qualcomm co-founder Irwin Jacobs, and James Albaugh, executive vice president of Boeing.
This year's newly elected members are: Peter Farrell, founder of the San Diego medical equipment company ResMed; UC San Diego mechanical and aerospace researchers Juan Lasheras and Robert Skelton; and Mike Baskes, an adjunct professor at UC San Diego who also works at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Baskes developed computational methods that have helped produce better materials for such things as catalytic converters in automobiles, nuclear weapons systems and power plants.
Farrell leads ResMed, whose products are used to diagnose and treat respiratory disorders, including sleep apnea.
Lasheras is director of UC San Diego's Center for Medical Devices and Instrumentation. He holds 44 patents in the field and is widely known for his work in biomechanics, especially as it applies to blood flow and the risk of aneurysms. He also contributed to design improvements for jet engines.
His colleague, Skelton, is an expert in tensegrity, helping to create deformable bridges and buildings. He also did control-systems work on the Hubble Space Telescope and on Skylab, this country's first manned space station.
There were 66 Americans and 10 foreign associates elected to NAE this year, including former astronaut Robert Crippen.

Soundtrack Pick : Django Unchained (2012)
Django Unchained might not be the best of Quentin Tarantino for some people. To me, like Inglorious Basterd (2009), it was entertaining and too violent at some parts. But that doesn't mean I don't like the movie. I personally loved the soundtrack, who used variety genres but quite heavy on Spagetti Western soundtrack (oh yes, I am new to the term and have to look up the meaning). Overall, the soundtrack feels soulful, stylish and classy. It suits the movie's revenge and western atmosphere. I loved it because it felt authentic and in style. Furthermore, I think you should listen it to yourself. My favorite is the first song :
Freedom – Anthony Hamilton & Elayna Boynton
His Name Is King – Luis Bacalov
Too Old to Die Young – Brother Dege
Django (Main Theme) – Rocky Roberts & Luis Bacalov
Full Soundtrack List :
1. Winged
2. Django (main Theme) – Luis Bacalov, Rocky Roberts
3. The Braying Mule – Ennio Morricone
4. In That Case, Django, After You…
5. Lo Chiamavano King (his Name Is King) – Luis Bacalov, Edda Dell'orso
6. Freedom – Anthony Hamilton & Elayna Boynton
7. Five-thousand-dollar Nigga's And Gummy Mouth Bitches
8. La Corsa (2nd Version) – Luis Bacalov
9. Sneaky Schultz And The Demise Of Sharp
10. I Got A Name – Jim Croce
11. I Giorni Dell'ira – Riz Ortolani
12. 100 Black Coffins – Rick Ross
13. Nicaragua – Jerry Goldsmith Featuring Pat Metheny

Sapphire HD4650 512MB Overclock Edition Review
Reviewed by: ajmatson
Reviewed on: December 10, 2008
Price: $69.99
These days when you think video card you think high end gaming right? Well first, not everyone is a gamer and not every card is built for that purpose. Should someone who only uses their computer for media or casual internet usage spend hundreds of dollars on a blazing fast graphics card? On the other hand you want cutting edge technology available to you without the huge expense right. Well ATI has recently released their Hd 4600 line of cards aimed at just that group of people. It is targeted at the mainstream user who might game casually on not so extreme settings but like to kick back and watch a high definition movie on their down time. The HD 4650 is based off of the 55nm RV730 GPU, which is the same GPU used it it's bigger brother the HD 4670, and has 320 stream processors and 512MB of memory.
Sapphire takes their HD 4650 a step further and overclocks it to produce even more power to give you that boost you need when it is most critical. With many years of proven design Sapphire takes their knowledge in graphics cards to improve this card to the best it can be. This card comes packed with enought features to allow you to get the most out of your system while not breaking the bank to do so. With DirectX 10.1 and shader model 4.0 you will not have to upgrade this card for some time to come.
Closer Look:
The Sapphire HD 4650 comes packaged in a nice small box so there is not a lot of bulk and extra weight. The package features a Sapphire mascot on the front with some logos of highlight features. On the back they highlight more features and include a blurb about playing the "Vista" way. Sapphire has always been good about including the system requirements and what connections are available on the card which are on the left side of the package for easy checking.
One thing I have always admired with Sapphire graphics cards is they never leave you without an accessory you need when setting up your system. Usually anything and everything is included for your setup. Included in the box with the Sapphire HD 4650 is the manual, driver CD, component video dongle, S-Video dongle, DVI to VGA adapter, and a DVI to HDMI adapter.
Now that the Sapphire HD 4650 is out of the box let's take a better look up close.
Closer Look:
Sapphire has chosen to go with a blue colored PC Board instead of the usual red that we see on most ATI based graphics cards. This is a single slot card which makes it perfect for a media server or home theater pc. There is a single slot fan used to cool the Sapphire HD 4650 which covers about half of the card. Like I said this card is based off the RV730 GPU which has 541 million transistors and 8 ROPs. This is a smaller size card in length so you will have plenty of room to work around it installed in your system. This is a PCI Express x16 card and uses the newer 2.0 interface for increased bandwidth. The HD 4650 gets all of the power it needs from the PCI Express slot so there is no external power needed.
There are enough connections on the Sapphire HD 4650 for any situation. There are two DVI ports which support Dual Link DVI, and an S-Video port. There is also support for VGA, Component Video, and HDMI via included adapters.
Removing the heatsink lets us get a nice view of the RV730 GPU. Like I stated earlier this GPU was manufactured using a 55nm processor. It has 541 million transistors and 320 Unified Shader Pipelines. The core is factory overclocked to 650MHz from the stock of 600MHz and the memory sits at 900MHz (1800MHz effective) up from 700MHz stock. The memory is manufactured by Hynix, model #H5RS5223CFR-N0C and is rated for 1000MHz at 2.05v so it looks like we have a little more room to go. There is a total of 512MB GDDR3 memory operating on a 128-bit memory bus.
The cooler Sapphire used to cool the HD 4650 is a single slot, actively cooled, aluminum and plastic cooler. The fan pushes cooler air over the aluminum fins on the heatsink to draw heat away from the critical components and expelled into the case to be carried off by the airflow of the system.
Now that the card hase been examined closer let's install this baby and take a look at the software that runs it.
Closer Look:
Sapphire makes the install a simple process with its install all menu. When the CD is inserted into the CD drive the auto start program takes over launching the Sapphire installation menu. There are two options: one for Windows XP and one for Windows Vista. You need to select the option for the operating system you are installing the card on. To the left there is a list of the cards supported by this driver.
Once you select the Driver Install option then the programs hands the install off to the Catalyst Control Center Installer which will actually install the ATI drivers and get you all set up. You choose the install location and the options you want included in the install and the Catalyst Control Center Installer does the rest. Once the installer is finished then you are prompted to restart the computer to finalize the install process.
Now that the drivers are installed we can get a better look at the Catalyst Control Center.
Closer Look:
The Catalyst Control Center is where all of the settings for the Sapphire HD 4650 are available. There are plenty of options and settings available depending on the capabilities that you choose to use. Each group of settings can be adjusted to your specific viewing preferences and image quality.
Information Center: In the Information Center you can view extensive hardware information as well as driver, CCC and DirectX versions.
Digital Panel: In the Digital Panel you can set and view display information such as GPU scaling, DVI settings, and color correction.
3D: In the 3D tab you can adjust general image quality settings as well as Anti-Aliasing, Anisotropic Filtering, and color schemes. There are also a few settings for DirectX and OpenGL.
AVIVO Video & ATI Overdrive: AVIVO settings allow you to alter the color settings for better viewing. ATI Overdrive gives the user control of the GPU and memory frequencies. For novice users there is an automated clock configuration utility that will find the best overclock for your system settings.
Now how about we get some testing going on thie Sapphire HD 4650.

This card is geared towards mid-mainstream users and is designed to give average gaming performance while supporting other features like Vista Aero and multimedia as well without breaking the bank. So how well does it actually perform and where does it stand among the market? That is what we are here to find out. I am going to be putting the Sapphire HD 4650 through a series of video benchmarks designed to test its performance by itself and with the system as a whole. I will then be stacking it up against other cards closer to it's class and also one more powerful to give you an idea on where it sits among the rest. All hardware will be run at stock clock speeds, latencies, timings, and voltages so there are no outside interruptions or variances that might sway the numbers.

Overclocked Settings:
- Sapphire HD 4650 690/1000
To overclock the Sapphire HD 4650 I chose to use the ATI Catalyst Control Center's Overdrive Utility. I started off raising the GPU clocks 5MHz at a time until the system became unstable and then backed down 1MHz at a time until stability returned. I did the same thing for the memory speeds to achieve optimum results. I was able to push the GPU to 690MHz stable which might not seem very high for an overclock but remember this card is pre-clocked from the factory already so this is about where it is expected to be. The memory maxed out at the rated 1000MHz for the type of Hynix memory used. One thing of note I want to mention is I was able to push the memory beyond 1000MHz using ATI tool however it was not stable and caused artifacting during testing. For my overclocked numbers the final speeds will be 690MHz on the GPU and 1000MHz on the 512MB GDDR3 memory.

Crysis has been out for quite some time now. In that time, there has yet to be a single or multi GPU setup that can fully showcase the graphics performance of the game. Will the GTX 280 be that card? The Crysis single player demo includes both CPU and GPU benchmarks to test the performance of your processor and video card.
- Anti-Aliasing: x2
- Advanced settings to High
This Sapphire HD 4650 was the slowest but came very close to the HD 4670, it's bigger brother.
PT Boats: Knights of the Sea is a new DX10 title that features its own proprietary graphics engine currently in development. The game is a combination of Real Time Strategy and Simulation. You have the ability to control the entire crew or just a single member. Play as the German, Russian or Allied navies, and prove your mettle on the open seas.
Video Settings:
- Anti-Aliasing: x0
- Image Quality: High
- DirectX Version: 10
- All resolutions: 60Hz
Again the HD 4650 was the slowest as expected but gave the HD 4670 a run for its money.
BioShock is one of the creepier games out the wild. The building of a perfect Utopian society undersea gone horribly wrong. Its inhabitants driven mad with the introduction of tonics and genetic modifications. Now Rapture is just a shadow of its former glory with little girls looting the dead of what little they have left while being shadowed by guardians known as "Big Daddy's" It is a demanding game that will make your hardware scream for mercy. This First Person Shooter allows for an infinite number of weapons and modifications to provide a unique experience each time it is played. The environment as well as the story line will wrap you up for hours on end.
Video Settings:
- All settings to maximum
- V-Sync: Off
The HD 4650 came in last again but held on without giving up. Even with the maximum settings the frame rate is still considered playable. Reduce the visual quality and its right there able to deliver a smoother game.
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 2.9.3.
Video Settings:
- Anti-Aliasing: x4
- Anisotropic Filtering: Max
- Texture Quality: Extra
- All settings max
Here we see that the HD 4650 was slightly slower than the HD 4670 clocked much higher.
World in Conflict Released last year World in Conflict is a 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 with limited opportunities to replenish your troops..
Video Settings:
- Anti-Aliasing: x4
- Anisotropic Filtering: x16
- Graphic Detail: Very High
The frame rates delivered by the HD4650 are unplayable at the settings we test with. Again reducing the visual quality will increase the frame rates.
Call of Juarez is a DX10, first-person shooter set in the Wild West of the late 1800's. The game is inspired, in part, by the movies of the Wild West genre of the seventies and eighties. The game can be played in both single player and multiplayer modes. The game focuses on realistic graphics and gameplay designed to take advantage of the latest video cards on the market.
Video Settings:
- Details: High
- Shadowmap Size: 2048x2048
- Shadow Quality: Normal
- Anti-Aliasing: MSAA x4
Call of Juarez really put a hurt on this GPU even overclocked at 1920 it could not pull any more juice.
Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts is the latest chapter in the Company of Heroes series. The scene is WWII. The mission is Operation Market Garden, the first allied attempt to break into the Third Reich. Play as the British or Germans. This Real Time Strategy game is brought to us by Relic Entertainment.
Video Settings:
- Anti-Aliasing: x8
- All other settings to maximum
Again not very playable frame rates at the higher resolutions.
3DMark06 is one of those benchmarks that always comes up when a bragging contest breaks out. 3DMark06 presents a severe test for many of today's hardware components. Let's see how this setup fares. The settings we will use are listed below.
- 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
While still slower the HD 4650 is not far behind the HD 4670.
Just added to the OverclockersClub suite of benchmarks is the newest from Futuremark, 3DMark Vantage. Featuring all-new game tests, this benchmark is for use with Vista based systems. "There are two all-new CPU tests that have been designed around a new 'Physics and Artificial Intelligence-related computation.' CPU test two offers support for physics related hardware." There are four preset levels that correspond to specific resolutions. 'Entry' is 1024x768 progressing to 'Extreme' at 1920x1200. Of course, each preset can be modified to arrange any number of user designed testing. For our testing, I will use the four presets at all default settings.
- All default settings in each preset level
- Entry 1024x768
- Performance 1280x1024
- High 1680x1050
- Extreme 1920x1200
Man at the highest resolution the HD 4650 was less than 100 points behind the HD 4670 .
While the Sapphire HD 4650 is not meant to be a high end gaming card it did score well at lower resolutions when running our benchmarks which are mostly on medium to high settings. Most games had given decent playable frame rates of 30+ when run at 1024x768 which is fine for the casual gamer wanting to break the everyday monotony. During many of the tests the HD 4650 scored very closely to the HD 4670 which uses the same RV730 GPU clocked 100MHz higher. Given the slot size and price tag this card would be ideal for anyone putting together a media server, home theater PC, or even a workstation for casual computer use and light gaming. The performance per price factor makes the Sapphire HD 4650 a steal.
Since this card is overclocked by the factory I did not expect much headroom however I was able to push the memory to its limit overclocked another 100MHz and the GPU an additional 40MHz for slightly less than 100MHz of the stock version of the HD 4650 GPU. While the scores through out the review were the lowest it still gave the HD 4670 a run for its money which costs more. During operation the card stayed quite cool even when overclocked. Not once did I hear a wind tunnel coming from my computer. The HD 4650 also helps the environment, reducing power consumption by not requiring additional power supplies other than what it gets from the PCI Express slot. Overall this is a very nice card and will give you performance you need without hurting your finances in this tough economy.
- Factory overclocked
- CrossFireX capable
- Well priced
- Not much additional overclocking headroom

Wicked Wiring Warnings
How to spot the warning signs of worn out wiring
Our homes are a lot like us. They age just like we do. They begin to creak and moan and show their age. They, like us, have aging systems, some that can be seen and some that cannot. Just as we need to get checkups from time to time, our homes also need checkups. If you notice any of the following signs you should immediately call a licensed electrical contractor.
Breakers and fuses are over-current protection devices that are rated in amperes and protect the wiring in our houses from over-current. Over-current may result from any of the following three conditions:
1. Overload — The operation of equipment or of a conductor in access of its normal full-load rating, or its rated ampacity. If an overload persists for a sufficient length of time, dangerous overheating can occur.
2. Short circuit — A low resistant connection between two points in an electrical system. Short circuits can be caused by the failure of the insulation surrounding the conductors of the circuit, or by lightning, wind or human intrusion.
3. Ground fault — An unintentional low resistant connection to ground by the system conductors. Ground fault circuit interrupters are devices that can protect you and your family by de-energizing a circuit or portion of the circuit when the current to ground is six milliamps or higher.
Over-sized fuses and breakers can be extremely dangerous when an overload condition exists. A licensed electrical contractor can inform you if this condition exists in your home. It's important to note that a short circuit and a ground fault are not overloads.
Getting a shock when you touch appliances in your house can indicate a more serious problem. You should immediately unplug the appliance and discontinue its use.
This can occur when you have a ground fault in an improperly protected circuit. Many older homes have the old two-wire circuits. These consisted of the energized (hot) wire and a neutral return wire. These older wiring types can be dangerous because the hot wire has come in contact with the metal frame of the appliance. The breaker will not trip because it does not see the fault. With newer electrical systems, a third wire is provided with the wiring. This third wire is called the equipment ground and is attached to the metal parts of appliances. When the hot wire comes in contact with a ground, the breaker or fuse is de-energized.
In the National Electrical Code ground-fault circuit interrupters are required in dwelling units for all 125-volt single-phase 15- and 20-amp receptacles in the following locations: bathrooms, garages and accessory buildings, outdoors, crawl spaces, unfinished basements, kitchens, laundry and utility rooms, wet bar sinks and boathouses.
If you notice discoloration or abnormally warm receptacle or wall switches and/or sparks coming from the devices, this could indicate arcing, smoldering or burning happening behind your outlets, due to loose connections, damaged or improperly installed wiring in the outlet, or a problem with the receptacle itself.
A persistent burning smell coming from a light fixture, appliance, room or area could indicate that a light fixture may have the wrong size lamp for the fixture. It may indicate an appliance that is overheating or malfunctioning. Unplug the appliance or turn off the circuit breaker until a further investigation can be made.
Flickering or dimming lights could indicate a wiring short or loose connections at electrical termination points on switches causing arcing and overheating.
In addition to ground-fault circuit interrupters, smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, a licensed electrician may also introduce you to the arc-fault circuit interrupter breakers required in new homes since 2000. These devices are intended to provide protection from the effects of arc faults and de-energize circuits before a fire can be started. Your electrician may recommend that you get a total rewire of your electrical system. This is also recommended by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the National Fire Protection Association and Underwriters Labs when a home is more than 40 years old.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I have used almost all major brands of Chyawanprash available in USA and India but this one is the MOST balanced I have ever used. It is not too hot or too cold. Effects are noticed with in few days, especially on Memory and digestion . Also gives a nice boost in energy level without any jittery side effect.
I have tested many different Chyawan Prash preparations over the years from India. This one has a great taste and extremely fresh texture! Although it is NOT made with the exact +40 ingredients of the original formula from Charaka Samhita, (as otherwise claimed) there is a great rejuvenating effect perceived from taking it. A rare quality product with wildcrafted and organic ingredients. So far the best CP I have purchased through iHerb.
Very good

I mainly bought this because I read an article that said it was good for the brain, and I've been forgetful lately. My memory has definitely improved recently, but that might in part be a result of the gingko and gotu kola supplement I'm also taking. The main thing I've noticed since I started incorporating chyawanprash into my supplement routine a few weeks ago is that I managed to avoid a terrible fever and cough that both my sons got. I can't help but think it's the chyawanprash that strengthened my immune system enough to ward off that illness. Before I bought this, I read reviews on here that said it didn't taste good and that it was difficult to spread. I think it's very tasty--more like a typical Indian chutney than a jam in flavor--sweet with a warming, slightly spicy finish. When eaten straight off a spoon, it warms the throat. I have no trouble at all spreading it. You don't need to refrigerate it, and I find it spreads fine with a knife. I've eaten it on toast and on waffles. It doesn't spread evenly over the waffles, but it works well enough and makes a tasty substitute for syrup. I'm interested to discover the long-term benefits of this supplement after I've been taking it a few months. So far, so good!

Had to get used to the taste, but i am loving it more each day. I take one teaspoon in the morning, drink warm water afterwards. Some days i don't even drink my morning coffee afterwards. Other companies offer better price, though.

Killer Ideas
Using movie plots to combat terrorism.
Read more from Slate's Summer Movies.
O'Hare, Chicago, the day before Thanksgiving. The nation's busiest airport is straining against the nation's busiest holiday. Among the crowd grumbling through the lengthy security line is a lone traveler with an attaché case. He removes a laptop computer from the case and places it on the tray provided. The tray moves along the conveyor belt. Inside the case's frame, a small ampul of dimethylmercury cracks and seeps into the X-ray machine. The traveler removes his shoes, passes through the metal detector, retrieves the laptop and the attaché. He's careful not to let the case touch his clothes. He abandons his stuff in the nearest men's room and then leaves the airport.
Dimethylmercury is one of the most potent neurotoxins known. Every bag that passes through the X-ray machine will be contaminated—not only in Chicago but in the 10 other major airports where similar "lone travelers" are performing the same act. Within hours, the impact is felt. Every TSA screening employee at every infected machine dies. Thousands of passengers, trapped in airplanes, will be dead on arrival. Even if the planes make an emergency landing, no hospital can reverse the toxin's lethal progress.
This thriller movie opening comes to you courtesy of R. Saunders, a semifinalist in the second annual Movie-Plot Threat Contest. The contest was created by Bruce Schneier, a security technologist who runs a respected and widely read security e-newsletter, Crypto-Gram. "Movie-plot threats are very good for scaring people, but it's just silly to build national security policy around them," wrote Schneier. "If we're going to worry about unlikely attacks, why can't they be exciting and innovative ones?" For the first year of the contest, he provided his hypothetical doomsayers a $500,000 budget and license to kill as many people in as grandiose a manner as possible. The winner was Tom Grant who slammed two explosive-laden cargo jets into the Grand Coulee Dam, destroying towns and shutting down the Western U.S. power grid.
In Schneier's book, Beyond Fear: Thinking Sensibly About Security in an Uncertain World, he discusses how humans have a tendency to exaggerate spectacular but rare risks while downplaying common ones (i.e., the person who is afraid of flying blithely climbs behind the wheel of a car). He's especially annoyed by airport security, which follows a reductive approach—no knives, no forks, no fluids—that promises to have us all flying naked.
Toward that day, Schneier's instructions for the second annual Movie-Plot Threat Contest targeted the Transportation Security Administration: "Invent a terrorist plot to hijack or blow up an airplane with a commonly carried item as a key component. The component should be so critical to the plot that the TSA will have no choice but to ban the item once the plot is uncovered. I want to see a plot horrific and ridiculous, but just plausible enough to take seriously." He went on: "Make the TSA ban wristwatches. Or laptop computers. Or polyester. Or zippers over three inches long. You get the idea." R. Saunders, in his submission, suggests that his dimethylmercury plot would lead to "a ban on X-ray machines, TSA screeners, and airports to prevent the attack from being repeated."
Saunders' plot may have been impressive and devious, but he did not precisely follow the rules: This year's attack must be on a plane. Among the 300 postings were several improbable-but-not-impossible scenarios and the common items such incidents would ban. Explosive breast implants: Pamela Anderson goes onto the no-fly list. A woman steps into the lavatory, removes her pantyhose, drops a bar of soap into one leg and walks out a terrorist with a lethal slingshot cum garrote: Nix the pantyhose and personal hygiene products. Several entries featured bomb plots that make use of cell phone and laptop batteries to ignite their weapons. Others trigger explosives by plugging into the seat-back AC outlets we see in newer aircraft. Adapter cables, headphone wires, boot laces, broken duty-free bottles: Weapons abound. But none of these plots comes close to the winner, announced June 15, for sheer panache.

Caretaker Burnout: Supporting Families of Patients with Alzheimer's Disease - Curbside Consultation
Successful Management of the Obese Patient - Article
ABSTRACT: Obesity is a chronic disease that affects a substantial number of Americans. Obesity significantly increases a person's risk of cardiovascular diseases and morbidity. Modification of lifestyle behaviors that contribute to obesity (e.g., inappropriate diet and inactivity) is the cornerstone of treatment. Behavior modification involves using such techniques as self-monitoring, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, stress management and social support to systematically alter obesity-related behaviors. In addition, adjunctive pharmacotherapy can play an important role in the routine medical management of obesity.
Proteinuria in Adults: A Diagnostic Approach - Article
ABSTRACT: Proteinuria is a common finding in adults in primary care practice. An algorithmic approach can be used to differentiate benign causes of proteinuria from rarer, more serious disorders. Benign causes include fever, intense activity or exercise, dehydration, emotional stress and acute illness. More serious causes include glomerulonephritis and multiple myeloma. Alkaline, dilute or concentrated urine; gross hematuria; and the presence of mucus, semen or white blood cells can cause a dipstick urinalysis to be falsely positive for protein. Of the three pathophysiologic mechanisms (glomerular, tubular and overflow) that produce proteinuria, glomerular malfunction is the most common and usually corresponds to a urinary protein excretion of more than 2 g per 24 hours. When a quantitative measurement of urinary protein is needed, most physicians prefer a 24-hour urine specimen. However, the urine protein-to-creatinine ratio performed on a random specimen has many advantages over the 24-hour collection, primarily convenience and possibly accuracy. Most patients evaluated for proteinuria have a benign cause. Patients with proteinuria greater than 2 g per day or in whom the underlying etiology remains unclear after a thorough medical evaluation should be referred to a nephrologist.
Treating Fibromyalgia: Science vs. Art - Editorials
Leukocytosis: Basics of Clinical Assessment - Article
ABSTRACT: Leukocytosis, a common laboratory finding, is most often due to relatively benign conditions (infections or inflammatory processes). Much less common but more serious causes include primary bone marrow disorders. The normal reaction of bone marrow to infection or inflammation leads to an increase in the number of white blood cells, predominantly polymorphonuclear leukocytes and less mature cell forms (the "left shift"). Physical stress (e.g., from seizures, anesthesia or overexertion) and emotional stress can also elevate white blood cell counts. Medications commonly associated with leukocytosis include corticosteroids, lithium and beta agonists. Increased eosinophil or basophil counts, resulting from a variety of infections, allergic reactions and other causes, can lead to leukocytosis in some patients. Primary bone marrow disorders should be suspected in patients who present with extremely elevated white blood cell counts or concurrent abnormalities in red blood cell or platelet counts. Weight loss, bleeding or bruising, liver, spleen or lymph node enlargement, and immunosuppression also increase suspicion for a marrow disorder. The most common bone marrow disorders can be grouped into acute leukemias, chronic leukemias and myeloproliferative disorders. Patients with an acute leukemia are more likely to be ill at presentation, whereas those with a chronic leukemia are often diagnosed incidentally because of abnormal blood cell counts. White blood cell counts above 100,000 per mm3 (100 x 10(9) per L) represent a medical emergency because of the risk of brain infarction and hemorrhage.
ACOG Addresses Psychosocial Screening in Pregnant Women - Practice Guidelines
A Practical Guide to Caring for Caregivers - Article
ABSTRACT: Patients who provide care to family members or friends with dementia are likely to be in a family physician's practice. The caregiver role can be stressful, and identifying these patients can give the family physician opportunities to help patients cope with the challenges of the caregiver role. Family physicians have a systematic approach for assessing the degree of caregiver burden in these patients. Because caregivers are at increased risk for depression and anxiety, screening should be done to exclude the presence of either disorder. The caregiver's skill in managing behavioral problems in the family member with dementia should be assessed. If there are problems, family physicians should provide practical counseling about common caregiving stresses and about resources that benefit caregivers. Helping the caregiver learn strategies for coping with difficulties may help reduce some of the stress the caregiver is experiencing.
Caring for Caregivers - Editorials
Caregiver Care - Article
ABSTRACT: In 2009, nearly 66 million Americans (three in 10 U.S. households) reported at least one person providing unpaid care as a family caregiver. More adults with chronic conditions and disabilities are living at home than ever before, and family caregivers have an even higher level of responsibility. Caring for loved ones is associated with several benefits, including personal fulfillment. However, caregiving is also associated with physical, psychological, and financial burdens. Primary care physicians can aid in the identification, support, and treatment of caregivers by offering caregiver assessments—interviews directed at identifying high levels of burden—as soon as caregivers are identified. Repeat assessments may be considered when there is a change in the status of caregiver or care recipient. Caregivers should be directed to appropriate resources for support, including national caregiving organizations, local area agencies on aging, Web sites, and respite care. Psychoeducational, skills-training, and therapeutic counseling interventions for caregivers of patients with chronic conditions such as dementia, cancer, stroke, and heart failure have shown small to moderate success in decreasing caregiver burden and increasing caregiver quality of life. Further research is needed to further identify strategies to offset caregiver stress, depression, and poor health outcomes. Additional support and anticipatory guidance for the care recipient and caregiver are particularly helpful during care transitions and at the care recipient's end of life.

North Carolina's lottery must give at least 35 percent of all lottery ticket sales to state education programs. The executive director of North Carolina's lottery says this law could inhibit sales and ultimately cost the state money. Tom Shaheen says to meet that requirement, North Carolina will pay out less to winners than neighboring states offer, which he says could drive North Carolinians across the border to play bigger games.

How does an eighteen-year-old answer when the depths of his depravity call so loudly and the whisper of his goodness is a barely audible voice to his conscious? A young man looking to break the shackles of his menial life initially finds acceptance and escape in the sordid world of drugs. What follows is a harrowing journey to the darkest parts of his tormented soul.
What happens when light and dark no longer have meaning? Which way is right and good when all is gray? These are the questions he must answer as he naïvely wanders into the soul-eating world of drugs with reckless abandon. All the while he fights for acceptance, both as an academic and a street-hustler. His battle ultimately culminates in a choice between the girl he loves and the exhilarating thrill of a life that could kill him if he lets it.

The dawn of the computer age is now TV-ready. Early computer technology is having its moment in some of the best current dramas, which chart how we got here from there.
We're in the ruminating phase of our relationship with the 1's and 0's that upended our lives. While Stanley Kubrick may have had the first and best word on the subject with the unblinking red eye of "HAL9000" in "2001: A Space Odyssey," lately, television has proclaimed it is time to revisit the advent of the computer. Several of the reigning TV series evaluate how the introduction of this newfangled, space-age invention frightened, wowed and then changed us.
Earlier this season, the AMC period drama "Mad Men" puzzled over the IBM 360 computer in an episode titled "The Monolith" (a nod to "2001"). The new gizmo literally bumped staffers out of their comfort zones and took over the office space. The drama series has found tragicomic gold in the characters' reactions to this intrusive technology, given what we know about how it will become an essential part of our lives, as common and necessary as a wallet.
The artificial intelligence and film villain HAL was invoked again on last week's episode, referencing our collective confusion about computers. In a clever ode to "2001" and HAL, the camera peered at two characters talking out of hearing range, leaving us to read their lips as Kubrick's smart computer did in 1968.
The hum of the computer evidently drove one staffer crazy — or at least provided a good excuse for a psychic meltdown.
"Mad Men" is not alone in taking stabs at putting the era in perspective, playing cultural anthropologist with the advent of the seemingly magical, sometimes threatening machine.
Surveying the military and spying uses of the computer as it reaches its season finale, "The Americans" on FX explores the Cold War trepidation and wonder that went along with the data-spewing new gizmos. In an episode about Arpanet (a precursor to the Internet), the idea of the "information superhighway" is conveyed in wide-eyed, almost transcendent terms.
In another scene, the agent handles a floppy disc for the first time and stares at the screen, blankly. He seems to scoff at the idea that this electronic change agent could challenge the expertise of human agents in the field.
"The Americans" successfully underplays the sociology, and treats the enormous cultural upheaval through casual conversation. FBI Agent Stan Beeman (played by Noah Emmerich) gets a first look at the Pentagon's computers while working on a case.
"Hard to believe the future of the Free World rests on those numbers and symbols," he says.
Dialogue between Beeman and his boss Frank Gaad (Richard Thomas) illustrate the consensus at the time:
Beeman: "Computers. I don't really understand it."
Gaad: "Who does?"
An offhand comment from a familiar character in a fictional work captures the gestalt better than a documentary about how a machine changed the culture.
On Showtime's "Masters of Sex," evolving medical equipment is the tech focus but the emergence of the computer as a research tool is on the horizon. That disruptive innovation is bound to be as unnerving to the public at large as the results of Masters and Johnson's sex studies.
Next month, "Halt and Catch Fire" on AMC will follow the technology into the early '80s with a fictional tale about IBM and upstart competitors to its revolutionary PC.
"Halt and Catch Fire" (the phrase is an early computer directive) is set shortly after IBM corners the market with the release of the PC. In the drama set in Texas, a former IBM executive, Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace, "Pushing Daisies"), plans to reverse-engineer the IBM PC, and force his current company, Cardiff Electric, into the personal computer race.
The 10-episode series explores what it's like to be on the edge of world-changing innovation. (Based on a preview of the first hour, it's going to be a wild and complex ride, going inside the revolution.)
Through all of these shows, viewers of a certain age will have fun spotting ancient models of green screens housed in thick metal boxes. Vintage desktop terminals, along with room-sized devices humming from within labs, are ready for their closeups.
TV has determined the time is now. Apparently this wired history is recent enough to register in memory, distant enough for screenwriters to see clearly.

MU looking forward after loss to Cornhuskers
Thursday, November 4, 2010
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — No. 14 Missouri has rebounded from being on the wrong end of a record-breaking performance before. Not that long ago, either.
The Tigers' defense is looking for a bounceback effort this week at Texas Tech after getting stung in the team's first loss of the season. Nebraska's Roy Helu rushed for a school-record 307 yards in the Huskers' win over the Tigers on Saturday.
Last November, Baylor third-string quarterback Nick Florence threw for a school-record 427 yards against Missouri. The next week, the Tigers shut down Kansas State.
"The message that we've been getting is that you have to put Saturday's game behind you," Missouri cornerback Kevin Rutland said. "You can't go on and be victorious keeping a performance like that on your side. We have to let it go."
Much was made in the days leading up to the Nebraska game about the Tigers' team speed negating freshman quarterback Taylor Martinez on runs. Instead, Helu did the damage, with 139 yards and two touchdowns in the first quarter as Nebraska built a 24-0 lead that Missouri (7-1, 3-1 Big 12) could not overcome in the 31-17 loss.
Nebraska burned the Tigers for six plays of 20 yards or longer.
"Those few plays were devastating, obviously," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "We run the same defenses against the same looks all the time and the execution wasn't what it needed to be, so it's up to the coaches and the players together to make sure we execute better."
Rather than point out mistakes, defensive coordinator Dave Steckel decided to blame only himself, a tactic often used by coaches.
"The amazing thing is that on all six plays we were in six different calls," Steckel said. "I just have to do a better job at calling things at the right times. It starts with me getting the right calls."
Nebraska needed just 13 plays to score 24 points in the first quarter, stunning what had appeared to be a much-improved defense. Missouri settled down the rest of the way, although Martinez was sidelined just before halftime by a leg injury.
Missouri wasn't healthy, either, playing without two starters in the middle of the defense. Middle linebacker Luke Lambert missed his fifth game because of a hamstring injury and defensive tackle Dominique Hamilton is out for the season with a broken ankle sustained in a 36-27 win over Oklahoma two weeks ago.
Jimmy Burge replaced Hamilton and made his first start, learning a lesson.
"You have to come out from the first snap as intense as ever," he said. " I can't afford to come out feeling flat and missing assignments. The intensity has to be all the way up from the first play to the last."
The task may be a little less daunting for Missouri as it travels to Lubbock to take on Texas Tech (4-4, 2-4). The Red Raiders are 97th in the country in rushing offense, averaging 116 yards a game. The Tigers' defense is determined to put the early struggles of the Nebraska game behind it and focus on finishing out the remainder of the schedule unscathed.
