It is almost worth while to be cheated; people's little frauds have an interest which amply repays what they cost us.
Logan Smith (1865 - 1946)
Contributed by: Zaady
There are few sorrows, however poignant, in which a good income is of no avail.
All my life, as down an abyss without a bottom. I have been pouring van loads of information into that vacancy of oblivion I call my mind.
The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.
Source: Afterthoughts, "Art and Letters" (1931).
If we're told that an odd piece of our china is worth a hundred pounds, - how rare its beauty!
The indefatigable pursuit of an unattainable perfection - even though nothing more than the pounding of an old piano - is what alone gives a meaning to our life on this unavailing star.
Source: Afterthoughts, 1931
That we should practice what we preach is generally admitted; but anyone who preaches what he and his hearers practice must incur the gravest moral disapprobation.
There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.
Isn't it odd that flowers are the reproductive organs of the plants they grow on?
I can't forgive my friends for dying; I don't find these vanishing acts of theirs at all amusing.

A IS FOR AFFIRMATIVE ACTION; A Minority of None
Published: April 14, 2002
(Page 3 of 3)
It has not all been holding hands and singing songs. In the 70's, a group of parents formed the Black Caucus and then the Concerned Black Parents, and several times threatened to pull their children out of the school over Mr. Trowbridge's refusal to create a separate black studies curriculum. He eventually convinced them that such instruction already occurs throughout the school, even if not designated as a separate course, but the school was deeply divided by the tension.
In the early 90's, under pressure from parents and staff members, Mr. Trowbridge adopted a ''gender equity'' curriculum that incorporated women's and gay rights. It had been pointed out to him that while students were being disciplined immediately for racial epithets, they were not for slurring girls or gays.
Over the years, the school has also weathered the attacks on progressive education as too soft, largely sticking to its guns. It does use standardized tests to assess achievement: students read a grade or two ahead on the Stanford reading tests, and scores on the New York State fourth-grade reading and math tests have been in league with those of other private schools -- well above the average for public schools -- though Manhattan Country is one of the relatively few private, nonreligious schools that have opted to take the tests at all.
In recent years, to strengthen the curriculum, a math specialist was added, as well as a computer lab. Still, parents and staff members lament the lack of a full-fledged science lab (and gym).
''M.C.S. was so committed to social science and humanities that the math and science hadn't taken center stage,'' says Ronnie Lichtman, the parent of a seventh grader who helps run the multicultural committee, which is dedicated to discussing equity issues involving the school.
Ms. Solá says adjustments to the curriculum reflected a history of internal ''debates about whether we can have an academically strong program and still engage in the outside world.''
''That debate is still with us today,'' she says. For starters, the school does not embrace the academically competitive admissions test used by most private schools. It is taken only by those seeking admission in the second grade or above -- the bulk of students come before then, and it is not weighed as heavily as the interview with the staff and parents' written application.
The school does not seek out only the gifted. It wants shy students and the gabby, those who learn quickly as well as those who need more attention. It looks for families who share its values. And the school's current economic and racial profile must be taken into account: no particular race can be in the majority -- that is, more than 50 percent of the student body.
Challenges constantly arise. The school struggles to recruit students of Asian descent, partly because neighborhoods with large numbers of Asians are distant from the school, and it has not developed word-of-mouth in newer immigrant communities. With blacks and Hispanics still earning less than whites, the school has had difficulty ensuring that the wealthiest families are not all white. ''For us to find a full-paying Latino family is more of a struggle than the low range, for sure,'' Ms. Solá says.
From time to time, Mr. Trowbridge hears parents express the belief that the school should strive to be another Dalton, to place more emphasis on academics than on social mission.
Last month, he was interviewed by the sixth grade as part of a project to chronicle the school's history. Toward the end, a black student asked him, ''Haven't you achieved your goals?''
''Well, how do you feel in here? Good?'' Mr. Trowbridge replied.
''Yes,'' said the boy.
''How do you feel when you are not in school? The same?''
''Well, what does that tell you?''
Photos: At Manhattan Country School, diversity rules: no race can be in the majority, and tuition is paid on a sliding scale to ensure a broad range of incomes.; Clockwise from left: Sixth graders interview the founder of the school, Gus Trowbridge, for a project on its history. Art class for little progressives. In the playground (no fancy amenities here -- like a gym). Tanisha Colon-Bibb, left, with a friend, Linnea Abernathy. ''I thought white people were supposed to be all racists,'' she said. ''That quickly changed at M.C.S.'' (Ruby Washington/The New York Times)

Phoronix on OpenCL Driver Optimization, NVIDIA vs. AMD
Subject: Editorial, General Tech, Graphics Cards | December 28, 2012 - 02:43 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: opencl, nvidia, amd
The GPU is slowly becoming the parallel processing complement to your branching logic-adept CPU. Developers have been slow to adopt this new technology but that does not hinder the hardware manufacturers from putting on a kettle of tea for when guests arrive.
While the transition to GPGPU is slower than I am sure many would like, developers are rarely quick on the uptake of new technologies. The Xbox 360 was one of the first platforms where unified shaders became mandatory and early developers avoided them by offloading vertex code to the CPU. On that note: how much software still gets released without multicore support?
Phoronix, practically the arbiter of all Linux news, decided to put several GPU drivers and their manufacturers to the test. AMD was up first and their results showed a pretty sizeable jump in performance at around October of this year through most of their tests. The article on NVIDIA arrived two days later and saw performance trended basically nowhere since February with the 295.20 release.
A key piece of information is that both benchmarks were performed with last generation GPUs: the GTX 460 on the NVIDIA side, with the 6950 holding AMD's flag. You might note that 295.20 was the last tested driver to be released prior to the launch of Kepler.
These results seem to suggest that upon the launch of Kepler, NVIDIA did practically zero optimizations to their older "Fermi" architecture at least as far as these Linux OpenCL benchmarks are concerned. On the AMD side, it seems as though they are more willing to go back and advance the performance of their prior generation as they release new driver versions.
There are very few instances where AMD beats out NVIDIA in terms of driver support -- it is often a selling point for the jolly green giant -- but this appears to be a definite win for AMD.

NVIDIA Tegra 4 Details Revealed By Leaked Slide
Subject: Processors, Mobile | December 19, 2012 - 03:26 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: wayne, tegra 4, SoC, nvidia, cortex a15, arm
Earlier this year, NVIDIA showed off a roadmap for its Tegra line of mobile system on a chip (SoC) processors. Namely, the next generation Tegra 4 mobile chip is codenamed Wayne and will be the successor to the Tegra 3.
Tegra 4 will use a 28nm manufacturing process and feature improvements to the CPU, GPU, and IO components. Thanks to a leaked slide that appeared on Chip Hell, we now have more details on Tegra 4.
The 28nm Tegra 4 SoC will keep the same 4+1 CPU design* as the Tegra 3, but it will use ARM Cortex A15 CPU cores instead of the Cortex A9 cores used in the current generation chips. NVIDIA is also improving the GPU portion, and Tegra 4 will reportedly feature a 72 core GPU based on a new architecture. Unfortunately, we do not have specifics on how that GPU is set up architecturally, but the leaked slide indicates that the GPU will be as much as 6x faster than NVIDIA's own Tegra 3. It will allegedly be fast enough to power displays with resolutions from 1080p @ 120Hz to 4K (refresh rate unknown). Don't expect to drive games at native 4K resolution, however it should run a tablet OS fine. Interestingly, NVIDIA has included hardware to hardware accelerate VP8 and H.264 video at up to 2560x1440 resolutions.
Additionally, Tegra 4 will feature support for dual channel DDR3L memory, USB 3.0 and hardware accelerated secuity options including HDCP, Secure Boot, and DRM which may make Tegra 4 an attractive option for Windows RT tablets.
The leaked slide has revealed several interesting details on Tegra 4, but it has also raised some questions on the nitty-gritty details. Also, there is no mention of the dual core variant of Tegra 4 – codenamed Grey – that is said to include an integrated Icera 4G LTE cellular modem. Here's hoping more details surface at CES next month!
* NVIDIA's name for a CPU that features four ARM CPU cores and one lower power ARM companion core.
How much horsepower do you need to BLOPS2 properly?
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 3, 2012 - 02:02 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: nvidia, call of duty, black ops 2, amd
[H]ard|OCP set out to determine how well AMD and NVIDIA's cards can deal with the new Call of Duty game. To do so they took a system built on a GIGABYTE Z77X-UP4-TH, a Core i7 2600k @ 4.8GHz, and 8GB of Corsair RAM and then tested a HD7970, 7950 and 7870 as well as a GTX680, 670 and 660Ti. There is good news for both graphics companies and gamers, the HD7870 was the slowest card and still managed great performance on maximum settings @ 2560x1600 with 8X MSAA and FXAA. For the absolute best performance it is NVIDIA's GTX680 that is your go to card though since this is a console port, albeit one that [H] describes as well implemented, don't expect to be blown away by the quality of the graphics.
"Call of Duty: Black Ops II is the first Call of Duty game on PC to support DX11 and new graphical features. Hopefully improvements to the IW Engine will be enough to boost the CoD franchise near the top graphics-wise. We also examine NVIDIA's TXAA technology which combines shader based antialiasing and traditional multisampling AA."

Too good to be true; bad coding versus GPGPU compute power
Subject: General Tech | November 23, 2012 - 01:03 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gpgpu, amd, nvidia, Intel, phi, tesla, firepro, HPC
The skeptics were right to question the huge improvements seen when using GPGPUs in a system for heavy parallel computing tasks. The cards do help a lot but the 100x improvements that have been reported by some companies and universities had more to do with poorly optimized CPU code than with the processing power of GPGPUs. This news comes from someone who you might not expect to burst this particular bubble, Sumit Gupta is the GM of NVIDIA's Tesla team and he might be trying to mitigate any possible disappointment from future customers which have optimized CPU coding and won't see the huge improvements seen by academics and other current customers. The Inquirer does point out a balancing benefit, it is obviously much easier to optimize code in CUDA, OpenCL and other GPGPU languages than it is to code for multicored CPUs.
"Both AMD and Nvidia have been using real-world code examples and projects to promote the performance of their respective GPGPU accelerators for years, but now it seems some of the eye popping figures including speed ups of 100x or 200x were not down to just the computing power of GPGPUs. Sumit Gupta, GM of Nvidia's Tesla business told The INQUIRER that such figures were generally down to starting with unoptimised CPU."

The driving force behind revisting Radeon and GeForce cards
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 15, 2012 - 01:43 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, nvidia, catalyst, forceware
We have seen quite a few driver updates since the release of cards like the HD 7970 GHz Edition and the GTX 680 which inspired [H]ard|OCP to revisit the performance of these cards in several games. Some results were not surprising, the two top cards have historically run neck and neck in performance and price and that remains true now. There was a definite loser however, the performance of the GTX 660 Ti matches that of the HD7870 but the price is similar to the much faster HD7950. Check out the full results here.
"With the recent release of new beta drivers from both AMD and NVIDIA, and the upping of clocks by AMD, significant performance gains have been claimed by both parties for current generation video cards. We will investigate with a 6-way roundup comparison to see if we can crown a champion."

NVIDIA Launches Tesla K20X Accelerator Card, Powers Titan Supercomputer
Subject: General Tech | November 12, 2012 - 06:29 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: tesla, supercomputer, nvidia, k20x, HPC, CUDA, computing
Graphics card manufacturer NVIDIA launched a new Tesla K20X accelerator card today that supplants the existing K20 as the top of the line model. The new card cranks up the double and single precision floating point performance, beefs up the memory capacity and bandwidth, and brings some efficiency improvements to the supercomputer space.
While it is not yet clear how many CUDA cores the K20X has, NVIDIA has stated that it is using the GK110 GPU, and is running with 6GB of memory with 250 GB/s of bandwidth – a nice improvement over the K20's 5GB at 208 GB/s. Both the new K20X and K20 accelerator cards are based on the company's Kepler architecture, but NVIDIA has managed to wring out more performance from the K20X. The K20 is rated at 1.17 TFlops peak double precision and 3.52 TFlops peak single precision while the K20X is rated at 1.31 TFlops and 3.95 TFlops.
The K20X manages to score 1.22 TFlops in DGEmm, which puts it at almost three times faster than the previous generation Tesla M2090 accelerator based on the Fermi architecture.
Aside from pure performance, NVIDIA is also touting efficiency gains with the new K20X accelerator card. When two K20X cards are paired with a 2P Sandy Bridge server, NVIDIA claims to achieve 76% efficiency versus 61% efficiency with a 2P Sandy Bridge server equipped with two previous generation M2090 accelerator cards. Additionally, NVIDIA claims to have enabled the Titan supercomputer to reach the #1 spot on the top 500 green supercomputers thanks to its new cards with a rating of 2,120.16 MFLOPS/W (million floating point operations per second per watt).
NVIDIA claims to have already shipped 30 PFLOPS worth of GPU accelerated computing power. Interestingly, most of that computing power is housed in the recently unveiled Titan supercomputer. This supercomputer contains 18,688 Tesla K20X (Kepler GK110) GPUs and 299,008 16-core AMD Opteron 6274 processors. It will consume 9 megawatts of power and is rated at a peak of 27 Petaflops and 17.59 Petaflops during a sustained Linpack benchmark. Further, when compared to Sandy Bridge processors, the K20 series offers up between 8.2 and 18.1 times more performance at several scientific applications.
While the Tesla cards undoubtedly use more power than CPUs, you need far fewer numbers of accelerator cards than processors to hit the same performance numbers. That is where NVIDIA is getting its power efficiency numbers from.
NVIDIA is aiming the accelerator cards at researchers and businesses doing 3D graphics, visual effects, high performance computing, climate modeling, molecular dynamics, earth science, simulations, fluid dynamics, and other such computationally intensive tasks. Using CUDA and the parrallel nature of the GPU, the Tesla cards can acheive performance much higher than a CPU-only system can. NVIDIA has also engineered software to better parrellelize workloads and keep the GPU accelerators fed with data that the company calls Hyper-Q and Dynamic Parallelism respectively.
It is interesting to see NVIDIA bring out a new flagship, especially another GK110 card. Systems using the K20 and the new K20X are available now with cards shipping this week and general availability later this month.
You can find the full press release below and a look at the GK110 GPU in our preview.
Anandtech also managed to get a look inside the Titan supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Labratory, where you can see the Tesla K20X cards in action.

Prayers are being lifted for those serving our country, including those whose lives were cut short while defending our freedom.
There was a room of smiles and tears Thursday night at Crawfordville's Pioneer Baptist Church. There, a community gathered to honor fallen heroes.
Nat Whaley, a World War II veteran, says, "I think it's just important that we pray for them. The whole nation should pray for them."
Shyra Sumner, whose brother was killed in combat, says, "It's wonderful. It should be a lot of it. That's what it's all supposed to be about, us supporting our troops in hopes they return safely."
It was an open door invitation for anyone wanting to come and share what they remember about three soldiers killed from Wakulla County; one in Afghanistan, two in Iraq.
David Todd, a Wakulla County resident, says, "It's real important that we draw together in times like this when we are in a war situation. It's important to draw together and pray."
Prayers were also lifted for area schools, churches and public officials. Those who attended Thursday night's service believe prayer truly works.
Dustin Harris, a Wakulla County resident, says, "I think it's just about believing. If you believe, that's it."
Amanda Deal adds, "Prayer works a lot more than anyone can know."
The special service was an opportunity for families to put aside their differences and join as one body of believers.
Thursday was the 54th annual National Day of Prayer, always held the first Thursday in May.

Aqib Talib: Nick Mangold hit not dirty
By Mike Reiss
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Patriots cornerback
Aqib Talib
said Wednesday thatĀhe didn'tĀhave an issue with theĀlow tackle by Jets center
Nick Mangold
that sparked a melee at the end of Thursday's 13-10 New England win.
"I thought he kind of dove a little early. He started to dive when I was in bounds and I kind of went out of bounds at the end of his dive. I didn't see it as dirty," Talib told ESPN. "I haven't seen it too many times, but I'm good. I ain't worried about it."
When Talib wasn't present for the Patriots' Monday practice, some wondered if perhaps heĀhad sustained an injury on the play. But TalibĀtold ESPN on Wednesday that he was tending to a family emergency.
"I came out of the game healthy," he said.
On the play that sparked the end-of-game melee that ultimately led to ejections for Jets linemen
Willie Colon
D'Brickashaw Ferguson
, and a 15-yard personal foul penalty for Mangold, Talib had intercepted a pass and returned it along the sideline when Mangold lunged toward his legs.
Talib had slowed a bit, spun around, so Mangold ended up making contact with him from behind around the knees.
That sparked a reaction from Patriots coach Bill Belichick and others as the play happened in front of the team's sideline. Soon enough, there was a scrum between several members of both teams that is
currently under review by the league office

Apple will reportedly boot Google maps off its mobile Operating system and replace it with an internally developed maps application.
A report in the Wall Street Journal said Apple would instead "release a new mapping app that runs Apple's own technology".
The report added that the plan to oust Google Maps has been in motion for years. The rapid rise of Android sales is believed to have quickened the pace of Apple's plans.
The Apple Insider website said that Apple's mapping intentions have been evident since at least 2009, when the company began acquiring mapping technology companies. It said, "The iPhone maker bought Placebase that year and then Poly9 in 2010. Last year, Apple bought Swedish 3D-mapping company C3.The company also revealed last April that it wascollecting datafor a crowd-sourced "improved traffic service" for iPhone users. Given that the revelation came as a result of a location data controversy, Apple's comments have been taken as referring to street traffic, though the company declined to provide further details."
The maps issue has taken on greater importance as the relationship between Apple and Google has become increasingly complicated. The two companies were close partners for years, but have grown apart as they have become fierce competitors in several key markets, such as smartphones, tablets and advertising.
Google has meanwhile announced that it is ready to unveil the next iteration of the maps application and have been concentrating on trying to integrate it closely with its Android OS.

Ralph Harris
Ralph Harris is one of today's hottest comedic and acting talents! He made his feature film debut in "Dreamgirls," a film that has struck gold (of the Golden Globe variety). Ralph's jump to the big screen comes after years of successful television work, including appearances on "Seinfeld," "Parenthood," "Nick Freno," "Living Single" and "In Living Color." No stranger to late night, Ralph has been featured on "The Tonight Show Starring Jay Leno" and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." However Ralph is probably best known for his starring role in the ABC-TV sitcom "On Our Own," which aired during the immensely popular TGIF block on Friday nights, and which currently airs in syndication on TV One. You can also catch Ralph on TV in airings of his two previously recorded Cable TV specials – "Comedy Central Presents" and the "HBO Half-Hour Comedy Special." When he's not filming, Ralph continues to tour the country and perform to sold-out audiences as a stand-up comedian, his first career and love.

I'm weighing in at about 260, and finally ready to get to work.
My mountain bike with street tires just wasn't calling me to ride, so for my 40th B-Day I picked up a left-over 2008 KHS Flite 220 from the LBS. It's entry level, but it felt better to me than some of the more expensive bikes.
I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone in the future.

An Interview with the IEA's Neil Atkinson
Give your kids the knowledge they need
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Shares of biotech company Halozyme Therapeutics (NASDAQ:
) were unchanged in pre-market trading on Tuesday following
Monday's gain of more than 15 percent. Investors bid up the stock
after BMO Capital Markets analyst Jim Birchenough upgraded it
from "Market Perform" to "Outperform" and raised his price target
from $4 to $12.
Halozyme might not carry the notoriety of other hot biotechs
like Dendrion (NASDAQ:
) or Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ:
) among traders, but perhaps it should.
According to Halozyme, the company's ENHANZE technology uses
an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronan -- a chemical that sits
just below the top layer of skin. By temporarily breaking down
hyaluronan, drugs that could only be administered by IV can now
be injected just like a flu shot.
Injecting a drug cuts down on the cost to administer,
increases customer convenience, and increases efficacy.
It is no wonder big pharma has its collective eyes on
Halozyme. Both Roche (OTC:
) and Pfizer (NYSE:
) have shown interest. Roche and Halozyme are currently waiting
for European approval for a Herceptin that uses the ENHANZE
Herceptin is already a blockbuster breast cancer drug for
Roche, with 2011 sales coming in at $5.7 billion. Roche recently
paid Halozyme $4 million after the company filed for European
approval of MabThera, a drug to treat non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
This is part of a 2006 deal that includes up to $111 million
in payments to Halozyme. Roche has agreed to pay $47 million
upfront per targeted drug in addition to royalties, according to
a Roche investor update.
Pfizer is testing six of its compounds for possible use with
the ENHANZE technology. This could be worth more than $500
million, according to
The Associated Press
. That's half of the company's total market cap.
Other interested pharmaceutical companies include ViroPharma
) and Baxter (NYSE:
). Halozyme has royalty terms in place with companies interested
in using ENHANZE, making the technology a major revenue driver
going forward.
Halozyme's stock lost half its value when the FDA voiced
concerns about the safety of the technology in August. It halted
some studies because of possible side effects on fetal
development and fertility.
Pfizer has helped to mute those concerns by conducting further
studies on a new generation of the enzyme used in ENHANZE.
Looking at the numbers, Halozyme has more than doubled from
its $3.86 low but traders should be careful. Although the stock
broke its 200-day moving average, resistance is only 30 cents
away at its September top of $8.55. Technically, if it can break
that level, at least short term, upside could follow.

BioAtla is teaming up with Halozyme Therapeutics to develop high-throughput recombinant screening libraries against a range of targets in oncology, aesthetic dermatology, and inflammation. Under the initial three-year term of the contract, Halozyme will receive exclusive, worldwide commercial rights to resulting conditionally active biologics (CABs).
The companies aim to generate novel CABs that interact with targets under specific predefined conditions in vivo. Halozyme will exploit its expertise in extracelluar matrix and the targeting of tissue microenvironments to identify, generate, and develop biologics against novel and existing targets. BioAlta will use its gene-synthesis and high-throughput expression screening capabilities for library generation and the screening of protein analogs with evolved specificity and activity.
Halozyme is focused on developing and commercializing products targeting the extracellular matrix for applications in endocrinology, oncology, dermatology, and drug delivery. The company's portfolio of products and pipeline of candidates is based on IP covering the human hyaluronidase enzyme family and additional enzymes that affect the extracellular matrix. The company is employing its Enhanze™ Technology, a drug delivery-platform that uses the enzyme rHuPH20, for the development of products both in house and through industry partnerships.
In October 2009, Halozyme and Roche started patient dosing in a Phase III trial using the Enhanze technology in a subcutaneous formulation with Roche's anticancer biologic Herceptin.
One theory for explaining "success," put forward by Amy Chua Jed Rubenfeld, posits cultural traits such as a superiority complex, personal insecurity and impulse control. Union College professors Joshua Hart and Christopher Chabris counter that intelligence, conscientiousness, and economic advantage are the most likely elements of success, regardless of ethnicity. Do you think that Hart-Chabris make a better argument for achieving success than the Chua-Rubenfeld theory?

A 2014 survey by the Reputation Institute ranked the energy industry 19th out of 24 global industries in public perception. This low public perception begins with local stakeholders at the sites of energy development, including regulators, non-governmental organizations and local and indigenous communities. Poor perception contributes to significant operational, legal, and reputational risk throughout development and distribution processes.
In a world where demand for energy is growing and predicted to grow for decades, more energy development projects in more populated and more environmentally sensitive areas is a certainty. At the same time, major companies and entire industries are working to manage or eliminate social and environmental risks in their supply chains, and are more concerned than ever with the impacts of the energy they consume.
Equitable Origin brings transparency to energy development that significantly reduces social and environmental risks. Through its site certification program, Equitable Origin gives credible, independent recognition to energy developers that lead their sector in social and environmental performance. Equitable Origin Market Mechanisms such as EO Credits allow consumers to support responsible energy development and deliver economic and brand benefits to operators of certified sites.

Star Trek Review
"Kirks From Iowa?"
July 20th, 2009
Overall I thought it was very well done. I did'nt think i would like the cast but they surprised me. I liked how they threw in stuff from the original tv series, that made it kind of funny. The story was interesting, it was also kind of confuseing at times. I would recommend seeing this movie, especially if your a fan of the old show. And even if your not it's an origon story so people new to star trek won't be totally lost.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

The lemongrass in this is almost overwhelming. I added more sea salt as this was a pretty oily scrub and hard to rinse.
I feel like a fruit after using this. It is not the most gentle scrub I've used, so people with very sensitive skin should not buy this one. I liked it, but I will try others before I buy it again.
It's good--but very scented & oily

Sea Salt scrub - okay
Posted by Reviewer2550148 on Nov 15, 2010
The scent is nice, but this scrub is very rough and oily - be careful as it will leave an oil slick in your tub. It's just okay - I wouldn't buy it again, but I'm using it
Hard to scrub with coarse grains
Posted by Reviewer3265993 on Nov 02, 2011
I've wasted a lot of grains trying to scrub my body with it, it simply fell all over the place. I think it is more suitable to use in hot bathtub (which I don't have). It is oily, after using it I would bath another time with soap to remove the oily feeling on my skin.
Posted by Reviewer1607238 on Mar 29, 2011
I don't like it. It smells great and refreshing and makes skin soft and moisturized, but it is rather because of oil not scrub particles. As a scrub it works pretty lousy, salt crystals are too big and too rounded to be effective and I feel like I'm doing myself a massage rather than removing dead skin cells from my body. I won't repurchas it I will look for something with a lot of smaller ans sharper particles

So I haven't been able to sleep at all tonight, feeling pretty sick and having some contractions. It just dawned on me about an hour ago to start timing how far apart the contractions were. Well, they have been 7 1/2 min apart until this last one that was 9. Looks like it is not going to progress today.
Has anyone had experience with regular non painful contractions? these are a nuisance, and my entire abdomen is tightening, but not really painful. With DD, I never felt anything until I was doubling over in pain and going to the hospital. Just wondering. Thanks

More Tailgating, Less Curating
Randall Szott
I'm a cook. When I tell people this there are no quizzical looks or sheepish follow up questions. People get it and want to hear more. Sometimes the fact that I have two grad degrees in art makes its way into the conversation and things get awkward. This, to me is a problem, a fundamental problem that I've been invited to say a bit about here at BaS. What follows is my highly anecdotal account of why I believe the art world should strive to be more like the culinary world. It is rooted in my experience and obviously suffused with my values. If you don't share those values (pluralism, flexibility, openness, egalitarianism, inclusiveness, conviviality, approachability, diversity, etc.), find those values misapplied or irrelevant to the context, or if you have had a radically different experience with the art or culinary world then obviously this account will be of questionable value to you. I am talking about the capital A art world – the one that BaS almost exclusively engages itself with – not the immensely diverse "real" art world of sidewalk art fairs, church craft shows, potters in Memphis, painters in Sedona, and the multiplicity of creative artists that work outside the "recognition" of the network of biennials, jet-set curators, international journals, art historians, big city newspapers, and elite colleges/universities.

Off-Topic invites artists, curators, writers, and cultural workers to discuss a subject not directly related to the practice of making art. We would like to welcome Stephanie Burke as our latest guest with her post, "Firestarterâ€. Stephanie is a Chicago based photographer who graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2009. She currently writes for Bad at Sports, runs Art Talk Chicago and works as the Managing Editor for Chicago Art Magazine.
by: Stephanie Burke
Last night I had a dream: my husband and I were living in an abandoned church in some metropolis. The church was high on a hill overlooking the city. I was sitting in the scrubby grass outside the church, watching the sun go down and listening to talk radio. An announcer cut into my program, saying the mayor had decided to start shutting the power off at night to save money. I looked out over the city to the west, and watched the lights blackout below me as the sun dipped below the horizon. As the last rays of sunlight disappeared, I started thinking about how I was going to build a fire without drawing attention to myself. In mid-thought, I woke up. I rolled over and related my dream to Jeriah, including my quandary as to how to build an un-noticeable fire. Without skipping a beat, he said flatly, "a Dakota Fire Hole, that's what you'd use.†Yes, that's what I would use. Knowing how to build things like a Dakota Fire Hole, and a fire in general, is an important part of wilderness and disaster preparedness, a topic of great import to me. Thus, I have decided to dedicate my Bad at Sports Off Topic entry to fire building in context of survivalism.
Fire is one of the most important things you will need in a survival situation. Fires provide heat to dry clothes, warm bodies, cook food, and boil water to destroy pathogens. It also provides light to work by, to use as a signal for rescue, and to aid in general peace of mind. For all these reasons, you need to plan ahead and understand the basics of starting and maintaining fires.
First, you need to understand the needs of a fire. A fire needs three things: fuel, air, and an ignition source (or spark). Fuel is what is feeding the fire, usually in the form of wood, paper, leaves, twigs, etc., and generally, the drier the fuel the better. Overly wet fuel can be used once a fire is going, assuming it has been dried out near the fire before use, or the fire is raging extremely hot. Be careful when gathering your fuel, many parks and wilderness areas have restrictions on wood gathering.
There are three main fuel types you need to gather: tinder, kindling, and denser, long burning material. Starter and kindling are essential to starting a fire (without gasoline or road flares), and it continues to surprise me when a watch people try to start fires without them. If I had a dollar for every time I've seen someone crumple up 2 wads of newspaper, cover them with 4 or 5 four-inch diameter logs, then light it expecting a the newspaper to get the logs going, I'd have, like, a few hundred dollars.

Snakes on a Plane, Lemurs on a Plate: How Human Beings' Actions Can Have Unexpected Consequences for the Natural World
Molly Schafer and Jenny Kendler
If you've heard much about Guam, you most likely know it as the U.S. Territory that was the site of the Battle of Guam. In 1944, the U.S. took back possession of this tropical West Pacific island from the Japanese, who had occupied it following the attack on Pearl Harbor. You may have also heard the interesting story of a Japanese soldier, Shoichi Yokoi, who was discovered by hunters in 1972, having lived in a cave for 27 years.
Although Shoichi's story is probably one of the strangest to come out of Guam, during his 27 years living in Guam's forests, he would have been an intimate witness to one of the island's saddest stories.
Let us imagine our unlikely protagonist on the night of the American invasion (with no accounting for exact historical accuracy): Our Shoichi hears shouts from the beach as the Americans land, and being a simple kind of nature-loving guy, and wanting no part of this fuss, he grabs a canteen and a flashlight and makes his way deep into the forest, nimbly leaping over lianas and roots down the forest paths he's grown to know during his time on the island. He heads to a cave that he had found some months before, where he'd frequently camped out and laid in some supplies, most importantly, a pair of binoculars. You see, our make-believe version of Shoichi is an avid bird-lover. So, while our Shoichi was evading American troops in his grottoed refuge and keeping his ears open for the sound of shots or approaching footsteps — as darkness settled heavily on the steamy tropical night, he listened with a keen pleasure to the rich chorus of tropical birdsong filling the air.
If you or I were to walk Shoichi's favorite paths through Guam's forests today, we'd have a very different experience. Sure, you'd see all the hallmarks of tropical forests worldwide: lush vegetation, a truly huge variety of living growing things, moisture hanging thick and low in the warm tropical air — but then as your ears tuned into the sounds of the forest and your eyes strayed upwards, you'd notice two very unusual things — two strangely interrelated changes to the forest, with a single historic origin. Yes, you might hear the sound of insects, the sound of leaf litter being crushed under your feet, but you'd hear no birds. And as you looked upwards through your binoculars, to spy out these unusually silent birds, you'd catch a sticky web across your face, and wiping it away, you'd notice that there were webs everywhere. Guam is a tropical island now devoid of the music of birdsong and filled with enormous colonies of spiders. Clearly, these are the signs of an environmental imbalance — but what could be the cause?

Where did all the Tweets go? A conversation lost on Twitter
Is it easier and more efficient to host conversations on Twitter or Facebook? This was my only question when I began research for this blog post. Things changed when Twitter lost the conversation, which is ironic because the conversation is the entire point of Twitter.
I, @aliciaeler, organized what was to be my first of many conversations about lesbian movies on Twitter. The conversation would begin with tweets from Chicago celesbians @trishtype, the Afterellen.com Blog Editor; lesbian erotic fiction writer @deviantdyke; queer sex blogger @annapulley; freelance writer and bonafide lesbian @jennispinner; and ChicagoNow tattoo blogger/AfterEllen.com music blogger @chubbyjones. Later, we could move to Facebook and try it again. For the Twitter convo, @jennispinner and I came up with the idea to label tweets with hashtag #lezflix. The chat began promptly at 2pm on Tuesday, November 24, 2009, and lasted well over the 10 minutes we had originally planned. Lesbian twitterers from all over the country jumped in. [Read more]

Ghillie Suits
Guest post by Jeriah Hildwine
Recently on display at 65 Grand was An Object In The Woods, featuring artwork by Bob Jones. One of Jones' works is titled Ghillie Suit. I hardly needed the title to know what it was about; I'm quite familiar with that soft-edged overspray of Krylon Camouflage Ultra-Flat spray paint (available in Brown, Olive Green, Black, and Khaki) anywhere, particularly with the telltale silhouettes of foliage (in this case hay). The association is a fond one, and the work fits well into Jones' theme. It is a distinctly rural image, the quintessential "object in the woods."
A ghillie suit is a garment intended to provide the wearer with concealment, typically in a wooded environment (although desert and snow versions do exist). The most common etymology is that the garment was named after the gillies ("lads" or "servants"), who were Scottish game wardens tasked with protecting a landowner's game from poachers. These gamekeepers sometimes wore suits of shredded rags to help them blend in with their surroundings, either as a form of portable hunting blind or to conceal themselves from the poachers they were pursuing. The suits entered military usage with the Lovat Scouts, a Scottish Highland unit of the British Army formed during the Second Boer War (1879-1915). This unit served as sharpshooters, and were in some ways the antecedents of the military sniper, who remain the primary users of ghillie suits to this day.

Mekale McKay transferring to Cincy
Former Arkansas Razorbacks receiver Mekale McKay will transfer to Cincinnati.
McKay, who had 21 catches for 317 yards last year, will sit out one season in accordance with NCAA transfer rules.
Arkansas coach Bret Bielema has said he expected the move.
McKay was thought to be one of the top returning receivers at Arkansas this season, but the sophomore was slowed by nagging injuries in the spring and wasn't listed on the team's post-spring two-deep depth chart.

Outlook Startup Choices
Here's a tip that comes to you courtesy of a reader's question. She was looking for a way to force Outlook to open straight to the Inbox.
Sounds like a very relevant and legitimate concern.
I don't know about you, but when I start up Outlook I'm looking for my email. Don't get me wrong, there's lots of other great stuff in Outlook, but 99.9% of the… Continue reading

The Definitive Guide To Hosting A "Great Gatsby" Themed Party
Ain't no party like a Great Gatsby party cuz a Great Gatsby party is…(SPOILERS).
1. Have an extravagant mansion. And a pool. And a Zebra (floatie?).
2. Prepare elegant hors d'oeuvres and authentic desserts.
3. Have fun dressing up!
Feel free to take cues from the movie on this one.
4. Maybe avoid green strobe lights?
Art by Kate Beaton.
5. Invite lots of shallow people that know nothing about you.
6. But not the woman you love.
7. Never introduce yourself to anyone.
8. Spend the whole party crying on the inside.
9. Don't forget to invite that annoying friend who never shuts up and who is always just around, lingering. They're gonna hear about it anyway.
10. Walk around saying "old sport" a million times in a stilted accent and see how long it takes before someone loses it and kills you.
11. Play rap music whenever a black person appears.
12. Relatedly, feel free to make whatever music you want the soundtrack of the party. Anything mildly jazzy. Or not. Just whatever you feel.
13. Stand around gripping the static image of the past that you're so desperately holding onto.
Take casual sips from your drink and hope the fireworks in the background distract from your slow descent into madness.
14. Maybe don't plan your party by following Leo's lead?
15. Actually, yeah maybe just dont have a party at all… Has anyone read the book?
16. Spend all the energy you would have put into a party into making sure everyone knows you've read the book.
17. Opine on the death of literature.
18. Never die. Defy all known properties of the universe. Become a metaphor.

Hi ladies,
I'm new here and I need some help picking another paint color for my living room. Right now it's Martha Stwart Cornbread and although I like the color I find it hard to decorate with. I am leaning more towards a more tan/ taupe neutral color. And please ignore my the extra sofa in my living room. I am selling it now because I orginally bought it for my sitting area in my master bedroom but it won't fit up my stairs. Any ideas will be appreciated.

I found out last week that I'm having a baby boy! :)
I'm very happy and feel very fortunate that he is healthy and I've haven't had many issues in this pregnancy. But I feel a little conflicted. My SO and I dreamed of having a girl for our first child. I have 3 much older brothers and so mom hoped I would have a girl. She seemed slightly disappointed when we found out, but I was initially thrilled and emotional. However, having grown up with boys, I felt a little left out and slightly jealous of them. I worry about my connection to my son and wonder if I just have a somewhat negative impression of boys or if I possibly feel alientated. I hope I don't sound pathetic or unmotherly saying these things. I'm just confused. I want to be confident! My SO is a wonderful man and I know he will be a postive influential father, but I still have lingering feelings. It also doesn't help that he doesn't want to know what the baby is until birth. I just couldn't wait any longer and wanted to be very prepared. But that I can't even talk to him about this bothers me. Any advice on how on to feel more confident that I will be able to connect to my son?
