Our friends over at Corsair made a name for themselves by manufacturing high-performance and quality RAM modules and SSDs and top-of-the-line PC cases but right now they are also among the most popular gaming peripherals manufacturers so since they just released the new M65 Pro RGB gaming mouse we just had to test it out. @ NikKTech
OCZ Trion 150 480GB Solid State Drive Review
With new flash chips and an updated firmware underneath the hood of the OCZ Trion 150 480GB, the mission of this drive has not changed. The mission was not to explore new frontiers to raise the bar in performance. Instead, the mission was to offer more value for the money -- value with sufficient capacity to take on moderately sized traditional hard drives, while edging out the competition in speed, and beating them in warranty coverage. Has these changes in parameters impressed us with its statistics to make a purchase decision? @ APH Networks

Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro S
a few weeks ago Cooler Master introduced their new Masterkeys Pro L and S
keyboards. I spent a bunch of time with the L aka the full sized model but at
that time I didnt have the chance to check out the Masterkeys Pro S. Well
after our review they were quick to get an S out to me. A lot of the features
of the Pro L are the same on the smaller S but there are a few differences. So
today Im going to take a look at the Masterkeys pro S and show you guys what
is different. This wont be as in depth of a review as the original, but if you
check out our original review HERE and then check this
out you should have a good idea of what the new Masterkeys Pros are all about
and if they are for you. @ LanOC

AZIO MGK 1 RGB Mechanical Keyboard Review
Two weeks ago, I received my Iron Ring, signaling the beginning of my career as an engineer. However, it did not really mean a whole lot to me yet, especially as I still have a month of school to go. While the ceremony itself was interesting itself, since then, I have found it hard to actually remove the ring from my hand. No, this is not like a "Lord of the Rings" ring to rule them all, especially everyone else there received a ring like mine. Rather, I have become used to the ring itself. When I first received it, it was weird to keep it on, and I fidgeted with it all the time. After two weeks, however, my right handed pinky finger feels lighter and feels awkward without the ring on. @ APH Networks

The North Carolina State Board of Education took no action Thursday after Bear Grass School supporters made a plea to keep their school open.
Some 70 supporters of the Martin County school filled the meeting room in Raleigh. Bear Grass spokesman Phil Hodges did address the board, telling them how Bear Grass has been in the top 10 math and science scores for the past ten years and why it was important to keep the school open in the community.
The supporters had hoped the state board would give them the last remaining charter school slot that was available. Last year Bear Grass came in fourth for the three charter slots that were filled.
The Martin County school is scheduled to close at the end of this school year and supporters hoped to keep it open by turning it into a charter school.
SBOE Chairman Bill Harrison told the group they could apply again next year for charter school status. Some Bear Grass supporters were concerned that Kathy Taft of Greenville, the only local member on the state board, did not speak up during the meeting.
With Thursday's decision the school will close in May. Supporters say they plan to reapply next year for charter school status.
Previous Story
Some seventy supporters of Bear Grass School are filling the State Board of Education meeting in Raleigh this morning.
The Martin County school is scheduled to close at the end of this school year and supporters failed last year in their attempt to get charter school status for the school to keep it open.
Many of the supporters are wearing blue, one of the school colors of Bear Grass.
The group hopes to convince the state board to give Bear Grass one remaining charter school slot.
WITN's Michael Baldwin is at the meeting and will have more as developments happen.
Previous Story
Dozens of supporters of Bear Grass School plan to show up in Raleigh Thursday and attend a State Board of Education meeting.
The school is scheduled to close at the end of this school year and supporters failed last year in their attempt to get charter school status for the school to keep it open. Supporters say they have chartered a bus with at least 50 people planning to attend the meeting.
The group has asked to be placed on the board's agenda, but the BOE's online agenda doesn't appear to reflect that. The group says there is still one more charter school slot available and wants to ask the state since they narrowly lost in the last round why can't they get that other slot.
The meeting starts at 9:00 a.m. in Raleigh.

Aviation Safety:
Improved Data Collection Needed for Effective Oversight of Air Ambulance Industry

Air ambulance transport is widely regarded as improving the chances of survival for trauma victims and other critical patients. However, in recent years, the number of air ambulance accidents has led to increased industry scrutiny by government agencies, the public, the media, and the industry itself. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which provides safety oversight, has been called upon by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and others to issue more stringent safety requirements for the industry. GAO's study addressed (1) recent trends in the air ambulance industry, (2) FAA's challenges in providing safety oversight, and (3) FAA's efforts to address the challenges and what is known about the effects of these efforts. To address these issues, we analyzed FAA, NTSB, and industry data, interviewed federal and industry officials, and conducted five site visits, among other things.
From 1998 to 2005, the air ambulance industry grew, largely in stand-alone (independent) operations, and experienced an increased number of accidents, resulting in added industry efforts to improve safety. Although there are few data on the industry's basic aspects, available data show increased numbers of helicopters and base stations between 2003 and 2005. Most of the base-station growth has been at airports and stand-alone helipads rather than hospital-based locations, a strong indication of the shift to stand-alone operations. The annual number of accidents increased from 1998 to 2003 but declined in 2004 and 2005. The decline may reflect added industry safety efforts, such as the creation of a study group that recommends best practices. However, the lack of actual flight-hour data prevents calculation of the industry's accident rate, making it difficult to determine whether the industry has become more or less safe. FAA's main challenge in providing safety oversight for air ambulances is that its oversight approach is not geared toward air ambulance operations. For example, FAA uses the same set of regulations to oversee air ambulance operations as it uses to oversee other air taxi services. Air ambulance flights are subject to greater risks than other helicopter operations because they often fly at night, in a variety of weather conditions, and to remote sights to provide medical attention. These transports also can involve multiple medical and aviation officials, increasing the potential for human error. The broad nature of the applicable regulations further inhibits FAA oversight because they may not fully address the potential risks air ambulance operations face. FAA has initiated many efforts to strengthen its oversight of air ambulances but does not evaluate the effectiveness of its efforts. FAA's efforts include establishing a task force to review air ambulance accidents, plans for hiring additional staff to oversee large operators, and issuing guidance to inspectors and operators promoting various safety practices. However, FAA does not track implementation of its voluntary guidance. Also, FAA cannot measure basic industry trends, such as accident rate changes. Measuring these trends requires actual flight-hour data, which FAA does not currently collect. Without this data, FAA cannot know if its efforts are achieving their intended results.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In 2007, we reported that the number of air ambulance helicopters and the number of accidents had grown. However, a lack of data about the number of flights or flight hours precluded the calculation of the industry's accident rate, making it difficult to determine whether the industry was becoming more or less safe. Without such data, FAA could not evaluate the effectiveness of its efforts towards safety. We recommended that FAA identify the data necessary to better understand the air ambulance industry and develop a systematic approach for gathering and using this data. We said that this data should include the number of flights and flight hours and the number and locations of air ambulance helicopters. In 2011, we confirmed that FAA now annually surveys all helicopter operators and requests, among other things, the number of helicopters, the state in which they primarily operated, the number of landings, the total flying hours, and the percentage of hours that were flown in air ambulance operations. With these data FAA can gain a better understanding of the air ambulance industry and the impact that its safety efforts are having.
Recommendation: To help FAA monitor industry growth trends, accident rates, and operator implementation of FAA guidance, the Secretary of Transportation should direct the Administrator of FAA to identify the data necessary to better understand the air ambulance industry and develop a systematic approach for gathering and using this data. At a minimum, this data should include the number of flights and flight hours, and the number and locations of air ambulance helicopters, and the number and types of FAA violations and enforcement actions related to the air ambulance fleet.
Agency Affected: Department of Transportation
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: FAA published Notice 8900.63, Validation of Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) Safety Initiatives, which required inspectors to validate implementation of the HEMS safety initiatives and to report their findings to FAA Headquarters no later than February 1, 2009. FAA reported the results of this survey in its February 2009 HEMS Fact Sheet.
Recommendation: To help FAA monitor industry growth trends, accident rates, and operator implementation of FAA guidance, the Secretary of Transportation should direct the Administrator of FAA to collect information on the implementation of voluntary FAA guidance by air ambulance operators and evaluate the effectiveness of that guidance.

Hooray for Hungarywood!
My previous post is probably as close as this writer will be getting to addressing the problems of the Middle East. My two extremely nervous months in Beirut did little to alter my preconceptions which were, broadly speaking: that they're all bloody mad: Palestinians, Israelis, the whole lot. I realise this is a less than rigidly statistical analysis.
So better I stick to my beat, especially as we're being encouraged to narrowcast here at True/Slant. That once again has become Central and Eastern Europe. As you may already know, when finances or circumstances allow, I make or act in films here; specifically in Hungary. Here's an overview of why…
Budapest – One big film set? Well, Nicole Kidman was just in town. Una Thurman was here for a few weeks recently. Sir Anthony Hopkins will be in Budapest soon too, if here's not here already, working on a film about dark secrets behind closed doors in the Vatican. I suppose that actually, it's not really such a secret at all, that Hungary in the last few years has become a film and TV production hub. In the last decade, we've seen Eragon, Hellboy II, The Spy Game, I-Spy, The Golden Compass, Spielberg's Munich, parts of the mini-series The Company, and John Adams, plus several seasons of BBC series Robin Hood all come and shoot in Hungary. There are now at least three big new sound stages in Hungary – Stern Film studios, Raleigh Studios and Korda studios.
The latter may have been named after the legendary Alexander Korda, who was director of United Artists and gave the world classics such as The Private Life of Henry VIII, The Thief of Baghdad and The Four Feathers. There's a hoary old story from those days – the golden age of Hollywood in the 1930s – that a Hollywood studio executive had hung a sign over his door which read: "It's not enough to be Hungarian to make films. One must also have talent." Incidentally, the grandfather of the sentimental blockbuster Frank Capra, is said in private to have turned this phrase around: "It's not enough to have talent to make films", he quipped. "One must also be Hungarian."
Well perhaps we wouldn't go quite that far, but it doesn't seem like it was a bad place to start: Not when you consider names like Michael Curtiz, director of Casablanca or George Cukor, director of The Philadelphia Story and Gaslight and another of the big studio moguls from the 30s. In front of camera there were perennial Hollywood legends such as Zsa Zsa Gabor and Tony Curtis. Even the frightfully English Leslie Howard, the beloved "Oh Ashley" of Gone with the Wind, was Hungarian. And dead or not, let's not forget Bela Lugosi in his infamous role as the undead prince Dracula, the Transylvanian antihero who has been a gift for cinema since the medium was born. As all of this was going on in Hollywood, back home in 1930s Hungary, there was a thriving local film industry, with its own stars and its own studio system. If you have cable TV in your Budapest accommodations, you can watch films from that era on the Film Muzeum channel. Sadly, much of the glamour faded under communism, with the state's suspicion of anything that looked like too much fun. Yet even in those dark days, there were shining lights, such as Istvan Szabo, who directed the 1981 arthouse classic, Mephisto.
Flash forward to the present day, and the Hungarian film industry shows, well, a lot of promise; fuelled by all these big international productions coming to shoot here. There's no doubt Budapest itself is an extremely cinematic city. As well as doing a great job of looking like the most dynamic and one of the most beautiful central European capitals, Budapest has also stood in for Buenos Aires, Moscow, Berlin, London, Paris and many more. I suppose with all this filmmaking going on in the Hungarian capital, you never know who you might bump into on the streets of this marvellous city. Why, a few years ago the author met Charlize Theron playing table football in one of the better dive bars of the 7th district!
And here I must, as proper journalists say, 'declare an interest': As you're wandering the streets of this giant film set, you might even find your correspondent calling 'action' or 'cut' on the set of his latest debacle. The above clip is from my docudrama 'A Café in the Sky'. In any case it's one of the most compelling reasons for my being here, high on a long list of reasons for an ongoing love affair with this star studded town. I once previewed one of my films at the gorgeously Arabesque looking Urania Cinema, and that's perhaps the last thing to say about cinema in this post. That there are some really gorgeous old movie theatres in this town: the 1899 built Urania of course is one, but also the Corvin from 1922. Both of which are cinematic treasures, very well suited to such a 'filmic' town.

[These poems on the panther and the whale (and also a fragmentary poem on a bird -- perhaps a partridge) follow The Phoenix in the Exeter Book, and resemble it in their use of natural history for purposes of moral instruction. These poems belong to a very popular branch of medieval literature. The earliest form of these accounts of birds and beasts was probably in Greek, but the original Greek Physiologus or Bestiary, as it is usually called, has been lost. There are versions in many languages. The work probably originated in Egypt, and was the result of a genuine, if not very critical, interest in the facts and marvels of nature. The allegorical applications were, it would seem, added later. The excuse for comparing the panther to Christ was found in Hosea v. 14, where the Septuagint version reads: '1 am become as a panther to Ephraim.' The whale is called Fastitocalon in the English poem. In earlier versions the creature was a turtle and was named Aspidochelone. In course of time the name became corrupted, and the whale replaced the turtle. The rough surface of the animal, mentioned in the poem, better suits the turtle. These strange old beliefs about birds and beasts are referred to by some Elizabethan and later writers. Dryden reminds us that
'The Panther's breath was ever fam'd for sweet';
'that sea beast
Leviathan, which God of all his works
Created hugest that swim the ocean stream.
Him, haply slumbering on the Norway foam,
The pilot of some small night-foundered skiff,
Deeming some island, oft, as seamen tell,
Moors by his side under the lee, while night
Invests the sea, and wished mom delays.'
Sindbad's adventure on the whale island will, of course, be remembered.]
MANY are the kinds of creatures beyond count throughout the world, of whom we cannot rightly tell the lineage or know the number, so widely are the numerous multitudes of birds and beasts which move on the earth scattered through the world, even as the water, the roaring sea, the swell of the salt waves, girds this glorious earth. We heard tell of the strange nature of one of the beasts, that he bides in distant lands, in a dwelling very famous among men, holds his domain amid the mountain caves. That beast is called Panther by name, as the sons of

The new home of
The village of Brora, on the east Sutherland coast, is well placed for a relaxing break by the sea and wonderful days out exploring the remote and dramatically beautiful Northern Highlands.
Wake up to the sound of seabirds and beautiful coastal scenery before you set off to explore by car, on foot, by bike or even horseback; the countryside here is unique, follow the coast road north into Caithness to the tip of Scotland or south to the lovely town of Dornoch. Inland stretches miles of empty roads, dramatic mountains and beautiful lochs.
Back in town Brora has a clean sandy beach and is a great spot for catching sight of dolphins, seals and maybe even minke whales. Walk from Brora to Golspie and take in the beautiful views, enjoy a round (or two) of golf; Brora has a golf course as does Golspie and there is a championship course at Dornoch. Try a spot of fishing on Loch Brora or explore the magnificent Dunrobin Castle and Gardens.
The Clynelish Distillery is the perfect place to go if you fancy a wee dram, or you could head for Brora Beach and try your hand at surfing or just enjoy a beach picnic on a sunny day.
Brora is remote enough to be unspoiled and charming, yet close to all the attractions of the area. Search our range of Brora holiday cottages today for your break in the Northern Highlands.

Alison is the Site Editor at Wahanda and a life-long Londoner. A subject matter magpie and self-confessed make up junkie, if it's new, a little bit different and promises great things, she'll be onto it in a flash.
Asked by Ali-Rowley 4 years ago
I suffer from oily skin and being very pale, blemish marks take ages to disappear. Is there any topical treatment (that will not clog pores or affect oil production) that could help fade them more quickly?
Asked by Ali-Rowley 4 years ago
I am very fair skinned, but with mid-brown (rather than the more typical blonde or red) hair. I do not get freckles and find I tan (rather than burn) in all but the fiercest sun. Is there any any chance that laser hair removal may have more of an adverse effect on my skin? I realise the hair shaft is targeted during treatment, but advice about possible irritation to the surrounding skin would be great.
Asked by Ali-Rowley 4 years ago
I played football throughout my teens and so my quads have a tendency to develop and strengthen fairly quickly. Can anyone recommend exercises that (along with cardio) will help tone leg muscles without necessarily building up the thigh area too much?
Asked by Ali-Rowley 5 years ago
I have oily skin and my scalp is prone to behaving in the same way. Would exfoliation every so often help improve matters or is it likely to make things worse? The article mentioned a shop-bought scrub, but I'd imagine something soluble (such as granulated sugar) could be used too.
Asked by Ali-Rowley 5 years ago
Can anyone recommend a treatment or product that won't turn me orange or make me break out and (if self-tan) is nice and easy to apply?

Abd ar-Rahman III (emir and caliph of Córdoba)
Abd ar-Rahman III, 891–961, Umayyad emir (912–29) and first caliph (929–61) of Córdoba. When he succeeded to the throne, the Spanish emirate was reduced to Córdoba and its environs and beset with tribal warfare. Abd ar-Rahman recovered the lost provinces, consolidated the central government, and created internal peace and prosperity. He built up a strong army and navy and waged war successfully against the Fatimids in N Africa and the Christian kings of León. He made Córdoba one of the greatest cities in the West.
See R. Knapp, Roman Córdoba (1983).

Milwaukee Film Festival picks: Day Ten
Rain and movies go together like ... well, you pick the metaphor. But you don't need bad weather to attend the Milwaukee Film Festival Saturday. Here are reasons to do so.
- "Sign Painters" (4:30 p.m., Oriental Theatre) Documentary directed by Faythe Levine and Sam Macon that Art City writer Mary Louise Schumacher calls "a dive into the toolboxes and tricks of the sign painters" who "change the urban landscape with their own hands and who defy the kind of washed-out sameness that has crept into American cities."
- "The Angels' Share" (4 p.m., Fox-Bay Cinema Grill) Cannes Festival Jury prize-winning comedy by the usually dour Ken Loach about a troubled youth who discovers he has a nose for quality whisky and hatches a scheme to steal a rare spirit. Watch the trailer below.
- "Spinning Plates" (4 p.m., Oriental) Documentary about a struggling Mexican restaurant, a family-style community landmark and the nouvelle cuisine of Chicago's Alinea whose chef was stricken with a cancer that threatened his senses of taste and smell. What starts out as a foodie film ends up a portrait of struggle, perseverance and triumph. Watch the trailer below.
- "An Evening With Paul Attanasio" (7:30 p.m., Oriental) Paul Attanasio, Oscar-nominated screenwriter of "Donnie Brasco" and "Quiz Show," executive producer of "Homicide: Life on the Street" and "House, and brother of Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, appears at a career retrospective conducted by Jonathan Jackson, the festival's artistic and executive director.

Bach five times
New Works for "Bärenreiter Study Score Reader"
The two Ouvertures (Orchestral Suites) in C major and D major BWV 1066 and 1069 and the three motets (Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied BWV 225, Fürchte dich nicht, ich bin bei dir BWV 228 and Lobet den Herren, alle Heiden BWV 230) with the Urtext from the New Bach Edition are now available for the Bärenreiter Study Score Reader and can be downloaded via the iTunes Store for iPad.
The app was developed to make the highly-regarded "Bärenreiter Urtext" brand available digitally. For this, the format of the Bärenreiter study scores was transferred to the iPad at almost the same size. The app presents the music text from the study scores, which meet the latest demands, at crystal clear, high resolution. It's possible to add your own annotations. Simple navigation allows for rapid page-turning, direct selection of movements and a seamless increasing of size of the music notes. Scholarly introductions provide information about the background, special features and performance practice of each work. The app makes available a tool for interested music lovers, conductors, musicologists and students, bringing all the advantages of an Urtext edition to a tablet.
The Bärenreiter Study Score Reader is available free via the iTunes Store. A free demo version of Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune can be downloaded from iTunes. The digital study scores cost between 5.49 and 9.99 Euros each.

See changes in: 15.0 | 15.1 | 15.2
64-bit UltraCompare is here.
And trust us.
It shreds.
If you've used UltraCompare in the past, you're already familiar with its deep, powerful feature set and performance. Well, v15.20 is what the next level looks like. It's now available in truly native 64-bit, and it's a difference you can feel. You should notice substantial performance gains across the entire product.
This release also adds Brazilian Portuguese.
64-bit UltraCompare is a more performant UltraCompare. Get it now!
Are you eligible for a free upgrade? Get v15.20 now by going to Help -> Check for Updates.
UltraCompare 15.1 released
Get to your compare faster with improved explorer integration!
Comparing files and folders straight out of Windows explorer just got easier with completely re-engineered Windows explorer integration in v15.1. Fire off a compare of selected items in a single click, or review and set compare targets before launching. UltraCompare's context menu functionality in v15.1 hasn't just been enhanced – it's been completely re-thought for maximum usability and efficiency.
Other additions to UltraCompare v15.1 include a split explorer pane, improved internal algorithms for matching up text in text compare, and a hefty installment of maintenance. Read on below...
New in v15.1: Re-engineered shell integration
UltraCompare's explorer integration now includes 2 modes: basic and advanced. Both modes are available within the context menu and are not mutually exclusive.
Basic explorer integration allows you to select up to 3 files or folders, right-click, and fire off a compare. It's that simple. No frills, no bells, no whistles — this option is provided to get you from point A to point B as quickly as possible.
Advanced explorer integration allows you to manually specify which files or folders are loaded into which compare frames. This is useful if your items to be compared are in different folders, or if you need to select one item for compare now and another later. Although we call it "Advanced", it's incredibly simple to use: just right-click the item you want to queue for compare, go to Manually select items and then choose your desired compare frame. Once all compare targets are loaded, click one of the options to Compare as Text or Binary.
The auto-select functionality for advanced explorer integration is better as well. With this option enabled in Options -> Configuration -> Shell Integration, UltraCompare automatically loads your queue with selected items, ignoring items that are already queued. Items are added in a first-in, first-out order so that older items are pushed out of the list to make room for those more recently clicked.
New in v15.1: Split explorer pane
UltraCompare now shares the same split explorer pane interface as UltraEdit and UEStudio. You can sort the files and folders in the lower pane by name, date, type, or size.
The split explorer pane is optional; use the toggle icon at the top right to enable or disable it. You can also create and load file extension groups for filtering the file listing.

Hedge funds can't catch a break. After posting lousy returns last year, the industry is getting left far behind in the frothy start of 2013. The average fund has boosted its leverage this year, but eked out returns of just 3%, less than half the gain of the Standard & Poor's 500. Where oh where has alpha gone, if it ever existed in the first place?
There's really nothing good to say about the results of early 2013. In fact, one in every 10 hedge funds is generating an absolute loss, says Goldman Sachs in its "Hedge Fund Trend Monitor." The report analyzed the positions of 725 hedge funds with $1.3 trillion in gross assets.
Think about it. The hedge-fund investor pays 2% of assets and 20% of the profits—and for what? Savvy mining for hidden gems, perhaps? Hardly. The mostly commonly held stocks among hedge funds are anything but hidden. Numero Uno, according to Goldman, is AIG AIG 0.987012987012987% American International Group Inc.

The world doesn't seem to be getting any kinder to the industry.
"Animal spirits are coming back, but it's a totally different landscape than the time before the crisis," says Ferenc Sanderson, chief operating officer with Cranwood Capital, based near Cleveland, which manages $95 million in Treasuries. "It's a much tougher market to trade. The retail investors are all but gone, and what's left are unpredictable algorithm traders and unpredictable volumes."
You might expect global-macro traders to be big winners in uncertain markets like these, where broad strategies often win out. But they've been faring worse. Last year the typical global-macro strategy delivered 4.6%, according to the Dow Jones Credit Suisse Global Macro Hedge Fund Index. By comparison, the average large-cap core mutual fund made 14%—and no one has ever paid 2-and-20 to get into one of those.
STANLEY SPORKIN is a thoroughly decorated Wall Street cop. He spent seven years as the Securities and Exchange Commission's enforcement boss, then put in 14 years as a federal judge. So, what does Sporkin make of the current regulatory scene?
Too little, too late.
In a recent speech at an event sponsored by George Washington University Law School, Sporkin decried bureaucratic bunglings and lax oversight in the years leading up to the financial crisis. It all led, he said, to unnecessary destabilization through the creation and rampant trading of esoteric instruments like credit default swaps.
Rules Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank don't do much. "Regulation from behind is a prescription for failure," he said. What's really needed, he suggested, is for Congress to support the agency's status as the referee that protects and maintains the world's deepest and fairest capital market. Sounds like a plan to us.

text: Posted 17 Oct 2012 If you were the one being harrassed by cops the other day when someone called in to report you were going to kill yourself and you wondered who might do it? I think we have a few suspects who might want to see you run into an issue or two, or three. Actually as it turns out the girl I was dating ended up sleeping with an old buddy of mine for like the last month of our relationship, so it turns out even. We actually ended up splitting pretty amicably and have casually slept together several times since with no issues. Not for years now of course, but yeah we're good. And for the suicide call thing I ended up going to the police station to complain and it turns out the watch commander was one if the last guys to respond to the call and he turned out to be probably the most level headed officer I've ever spoken with. He also did me the favor of confirming my suspension that it was an old lady at the senior center nearby that called the cops on me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm about to purchase a new refrigerator and it's the side by side type with the water and ice system. My current does not have this system. I understand I require a cold water line to run to the refrig in order for the water and ice features to work. My question is, don't all refrigs have water lines run to them already? One problem with my current one besides being very old is it leaks water from the bottom, not from underneath but inside wear the drain is. It often overflows. Were is the water coming from? Does this mean I have a water line already? I do see copper piping run behind the refrig. Can someone clear things up for me?
The water you are seeing/getting is condensation or the end result of a defrost cycle.Normally this water evaporates in a pan at the bottom of the refrige.The only reason you would have water lines to the refrige are for an ice maker or a cold water spout on your refrige door.It is unlikely you would have a water line here unless a previous refrige had it.At any rate,getting a line installed for the new refrige shouldn't be a big problem.By the way,some of the piping in all refrigerators are copper and may be mistaken for plumbing like pipes.
I had a licensed plumber come to my home to look at my situation. The cost would be $350 to have him install the water line needed for the icemaker and dispenser. He said he would tap into the line coming from my outdoor patio line. The line runs along side the refrigerator. He would also need to install another shutoff valve since the outside line connects to my sprinkler system which has it's own valve that is shutoff during the winter. Sounds a bit complicated and I'm not sure if I should let him proceed. It also involves wallboard removal and replacement. What do you think?
You probably should have another person look at it.Since I can't see your house from here,that may be the only alternative,but most connections I've heard of are by homeowners drilling a hole down to the basement and tapping off a cold water pipe which is usually fairly close by.

This review on the unique patterns of metastases by common and rare types of cancer addresses regional lymphatic metastases but also demonstrates general principles by consideration of vital organ metastases. These general features of successfully treated metastases are relationships to basic biological behavior as illustrated by disease-free interval, organ-specific behavior, oligo-metastatic presentation, genetic control of the metastatic pattern, careful selection of patients for surgical resection, and the necessity of complete resection of the few patients eligible for long-term survival after resection of vital organ metastasis. Lymph node metastases, while illustrating these general features, are not related to overall survival because lymph node metastases themselves do not destroy a vital organ function, and therefore have no causal relationship to overall survival. When a cancer cell spreads to a regional lymph node, does it also simultaneously spread to the systemic site or sites? Alternatively, does the cancer spread to the regional lymph node first and then it subsequently spreads to the distant site(s) after an incubation period of growth in the lymph node? Of course, if the cancer is in its incubation stage in the lymph node, then removal of the lymph node in the majority of cases with cancer cells may be curative. The data from the sentinel lymph node era, particularly in melanoma and breast cancer, is consistent with the spectrum theory of cancer progression to the sentinel lymph node in the majority of cases prior to distant metastasis. Perhaps, different subsets of cancer may be better defined with relevant biomarkers so that mechanisms of metastasis can be more accurately defined on a molecular and genomic level. J. Surg.

The major concerns with endocrine disruptors in the environment are based mostly on effects that have been observed on the developing embryo and fetus. The focus of the present manuscript is on disruption of three hormonal systems: estrogens, androgens, and thyroid hormones. These three hormonal systems have been well characterized with regard to their roles in normal development, and their actions during development are known to be perturbed by endocrine-disrupting chemicals. During development, organs are especially sensitive to low concentrations of the sex steroids and thyroid hormones. Changes induced by exposure to these hormones during development are often irreversible, in contrast with the reversible changes induced by transient hormone exposure in the adult. Although it is known that there are differences in embryonic/fetal/neonatal versus adult endocrine responses, minimal experimental information is available to aid in characterizing the risk of endocrine disruptors with regard to a number of issues. Issues discussed here include the hypothesis of greater sensitivity of embryos/fetuses to endocrine disruptors, irreversible consequences of exposure before maturation of homeostatic systems and during periods of genetic imprinting, and quantitative information related to the shape of the dose-response curve for specific developmental phenomena.

Evolution for Everyone: How Darwin's Theory Can Change the Way We Think… (2007)
by David Sloan Wilson
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Yes everyone should read this. Shows how the concepts apply to everyday life in a clear manner for anyone with middle-school science.
This book is an introduction for anyone to incorporating evolution into everything. It is written specifically for those who may feel the sciences (in particular evolution) are intellectually too tasking.
David Wilson uses a journalistic approach that I akin to the like of a gossip column - a distracting, mesmerizing description of an aha! disaster that you can't keep from reading while in line at the grocery store. In this manner, Wilson is able to help the reader apply evolutionary thought and science to everything from daily life decisions to politics to the humanities in a less-than-scary manner.
My evolutionary biologist fiancée forced this book on me, and like all things that are forced on me, I decided to hate it. But I had to read it, as I was trapped in an airport and I'd exhausted all other reading material. I was initially skeptical-- the first few chapters are pretty basic, and Wilson doesn't help his case with his cheesy "you too can be a scientist!" rhetoric-- but before I knew it, I was warming up to the book. A lot. Wilson's argument is that evolution manifests itself in all aspects of our lives, society, and culture, from dung beetles to religion, from homicide to politics, and at first I was skeptical, but he just kept piling on example after example, and I started thinking, You know, maybe there's something in this. Then I found myself noticing evolution everywhere I went: people in one of my seminars were wondering why a group of female factory workers we'd read about were so stringently self-policing, and I knew that evolutionary theory would provide the answer! I was listening to a story on Morning Edition about an Army guy who wrote a book about training Afghani troops, and he said that they were really good at fighting individually, but not as a unit, and I thought, Man, I wonder what evolutionary theory would say about that? Slowly and unwillingly, I had become an evolutionist!
The book isn't all roses; like I said, I was little leery of Wilson's tone sometimes. He did pen one of the most unfortunate sentences I've ever come across: "Learning about natural selection is like having a premature orgasm. You think it will take a long time and lead to a tremendous climax, but then it's over almost as soon as it began!" And sometimes I found myself worried that I had been swayed only because I wasn't familiar enough with the material he was discussing to muster a counter-argument; I think it's telling that I was most unconvinced by the (very brief) section on evolutionary theory in literature, but he's co-edited a whole book about that (The Literary Animal), so I suppose I'll have to seek that out. But perhaps the biggest endorsement for this book comes from an encounter I had in the lunchroom at school. One thing Wilson rails against is the thinking that evolutionary theory leads straight to eugenics and genocide, when it can actually have a bevy of positive applications. Well, I was reading the book over lunch and one of my colleagues noticed it and said that the scary thing about evolutionary theory was eugenics. But as Wilson shows, there's so much to evolutionary theory than that-- and this book is an excellent first step to recognizing that.
This is a must-read - NO - MUST-HAVE book! I can envision myself referring back to it to use the well-illustrated fundamentals of evolutionary thinking in examining all aspects of my life and the universe.
Not only does David Sloan Wilson introduce evolution to the layman, he brings it up-to-date - for those of us that were lucky enough to be taught the concepts decades ago - with the latest thinking, theories, discoveries and facts. And he distinguishes between hypotheses and what is fact and teaches the reader how to distinguish between the two. He points out that good science is self-correcting and builds knowledge, "one-brick-at-a-time."
It is particularly interesting to read his explanations about practical realism (which I'll paraphrase for my own selfish purpose as: knowledge that is based on common-sense, but may not be fully scientifically "valid" yet "works" from an evolutionary standpoint) and factual realism, which always predicts a particular outcome given the same conditions and circumstances (IS based on scientific evidence). Practical realism trumps factual realism when it provides an evolutionary advantage. This explains a lot of our beliefs that actually do not make much factual sense.
Finally, I appreciated Wilson's prescriptions for us as humans and groups and his optimistic prognosis for us all - given the right conditions and circumstances. As others have mentioned, this IS an "all-encompassing" book that has a HUGE scope, but Wilson pulls off this goal with aplomb!
I urge EVERYONE to read this book and buy a copy for frequent reference!
You know the old saying, "Nothing in biology makes sense except under the light of evolution"? Well, Wilson takes it one step farther--nothing makes sense except under the light of evolution. He applies evolutionary thinking to absolutely everything.
And, strangely enough, it works. The basic premise of this book is that selection promoting groups as a whole (vs. other groups) is stronger than selection promoting individuals (vs. other individuals) within groups. Altruism trumps selfishness; at least under certain conditions. And then he goes on to apply this concept on levels even lower than genes--starting with molecules in the primordial stew of early Earth--all the way up to human culture, morality, and religion. And he touches on everything in between: dung beetles, egg-laying hens, Abraham Lincoln, laughter, primates, economics, etc. I've seen criticisms of the book that the scope is too grand; but after talking with him, I see that this is exactly the way his mind works. Everything fits.
And, ok, maybe I used to believe everything I read, but I've learned how to be a scientist since then. He's got some big unsubstantiated claims ("untested hypotheses," he admits himself), but at the same time he's got a lot of support packed into that book. (And, by the way, he uses his sources well--he references scientific articles in a very accessible way, and he also makes good use of the internet, refering readers to websites as well as books.) But even apart from the what's interesting here scientifically (in scientific terms, we're talking about "multi-level selection theory"), Wilson is putting out his worldview here, and it's one I quite like. He aims to tear down some of the walls of what he refers to as the "Ivory Archipelago" of academia, both between disciplines and between academia and the general public. He also aims to tear down walls between science and religion. As atheists go, Wilson is on the complete polar opposite end of the spectrum as Richard Dawkins. Wilson sees the conclusions of his evolutionary thinking as complementary to the goals of religion. Indeed, Wilson's conclusions go far beyond the scope of science: he believes that we can, and therefore must, use the theory behind cultural evolution to improve the world. And so, Wilson says he actually gets along with highly religious people better than the average person who simply does not care, because they are working towards similar goals. He models a refreshingly affirmative portrayal of atheism.
It's hard to give the book justice in such a short review, because it simply covers so much. I loved it, though, and imagine it's worth a re-read at some point to try and absorb more of it. And I would be happy to call myself an evolutionist, as Wilson does, in addition to an evolutionary biologist.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385340923, Paperback)What is the biological reason for gossip?
For laughter? For the creation of art?
Why do dogs have curly tails?
What can microbes tell us about morality?
These and many other questions are tackled by renowned evolutionist David Sloan Wilson in this witty and groundbreaking new book. With stories that entertain as much as they inform, Wilson outlines the basic principles of evolution and shows how, properly understood, they can illuminate the length and breadth of creation, from the origin of life to the nature of religion. Now everyone can move beyond the sterile debates about creationism and intelligent design to share Darwin's panoramic view of animal and human life, seamlessly connected to each other.
Evolution, as Wilson explains, is not just about dinosaurs and human origins, but about why all species behave as they do—from beetles that devour their own young, to bees that function as a collective brain, to dogs that are smarter in some respects than our closest ape relatives. And basic evolutionary principles are also the foundation for humanity's capacity for symbolic thought, culture, and morality.
In example after example, Wilson sheds new light on Darwin's grand theory and how it can be applied to daily life. By turns thoughtful, provocative, and daringly funny, Evolution for Everyone addresses some of the deepest philosophical and social issues of this or any age. In helping us come to a deeper understanding of human beings and our place in the world, it might also help us to improve that world.

Innovation can ease education challenges
The recession has been long and painful for most Americans. Even though we may be on the upswing, deficit problems create an immediate future of painful choices. The next few years will require funding cutbacks from which no public institution is immune.
But as we look to a full financial recovery, the economy is not the only critical hurdle we face. Education must also be right up there on top of the agenda and here too we will face painful choices.
Why is education so important? First, it's directly related to the economy and the quality of our workforce. Two, it's directly related to social stability and equality. Three, nearly every federal major education bill is up for renewal. Decisions made by the next Congress will have an impact on generations to come.
The day before the presidential election, the Pew Research Center, using newly available census data, said that record numbers of young adults completed high school and college. College graduation is now at record levels for key demographic groups — men and women; blacks, whites and Hispanics; foreign and native-born Americans.
Understandably, the report got little public notice: it was released just as Americans were about to go to the polls and large parts of the eastern seaboard were being battered by Hurricane Sandy.
What's less understandable is why education got so little attention during the presidential campaign. This doesn't reflect the public's perspective. A recent poll reveals that 61 percent of American voters rate education as a very important issue. That's fourth on the list, behind the economy, health care, and government ethics and corruption. It's ahead of taxes, national security/war on terror, energy and immigration.
As the budget debates unfold, it's likely that educators will be forced to work with fewer resources. It's unreasonable to expect that they'll be able to do more with less. But part of the negative impact can be mitigated through innovative solutions such as increased use of technology, reductions in overhead costs, consolidation of services, and more freedom for schools to make their own decisions.
Success and failure during these trying times will depend on the full involvement of those who understand education best: teachers. Without their participation, our students will suffer greatly.

We had a welcome visit from Kevin Price from the VEC with his children on his way to Cookham in The Saint P1800 71 DXC/ST 1....it was great to take this famous car out for a quick spin!
Rebuilt as standard, with extras or maybe one of these.......
Volvo 1800 sports snapshot:
The Volvo P1800 model was first built in 1961 by Jensen Cars with a production run up to chassis 6000, assembly was then switched to Sweden. The Saint really made the 1800S popular, with three models used for the 60's TV show using white cars with red and later black interiors. The final variant was the fuel injected 1800E plus the shooting brake style 1800ES built from 1971 up until 1973.
