The authors propose a model for an intelligent assistant to aid in building knowledge-based systems (KBSs) and discuss a preliminary implementation. The assistant participates in KBS construction, including acquisition of an initial model of a problem domain, acquisition of control and task-specific inference knowledge, testing and validation, and long-term maintenance of encoded knowledge. The authors present a hypothetical scenario in which the assistant and a KBS designer cooperate to create an initial domain model and then discuss five categories of knowledge the assistant requires to offer such help. They discuss two software technologies on which the assistant is based: an object-oriented programming language, and a user-interface framework

Setting the standard for keyboard workstations for years to come.
The next-generation Yamaha Motif XF builds on the decade-long heritage of Motif and breaks new ground with Flash memory expansion capabilities that will set the standard for keyboard workstations for years to come. It's loaded with 741MB of internal Wave ROM that includes incredibly realistic pianos and acoustic instruments, vintage synths, and the hip hop sounds that all of today's top producers are using.
A sophisticated 8-element synth architecture with XSpanded articulation and 18 different filter types let you shape your sound anyway you want, and the 8 front-panel knobs and sliders make it easy to do even in real time. 1664 Voices and 97 Drum Kits put more sounds at your fingertips than ever before. A Category Search function makes it easy to find the sounds you need.
A high-quality collection of Voices, including powerful piano Voices provided from an enormous 741MB of waveforms
The Motif XF boasts a rich collection of instrument Voices that includes piano, EPs, strings, wind instruments, orchestral sounds, guitars, basses, and drums, as Well as a wide variety of vintage and modern synth sounds. Of special note are the detailed digital re-creations of two Yamaha grand pianos (a 9' CFIII and a 7' S6) that only an acoustic piano manufacturer could achieve. The reproduction in minute detail of even very subtle nuances results in exquisitely crafted piano Voices that will satisfy even the most demanding players. New waveforms have been added to the Motif XF, which now contains a huge total of 741 MB of waveforms. Starting with the S6 piano, the 136 newly added Voices include keyboard sounds such as those of clavinets and organs as well as a wide range of new sounds from orchestral to hip-hop. This huge internal wave memory ensures that the Motif XF is the best sounding and most versatile keyboard workstation right out of the box.
Up to 2GB of additional content available through flash memory expansion modules
Two flashboard slots accommodate two proprietary Yamaha flashboard options—a 512MB board and 1GB board. With two 1GB boards installed, you have a total of 2GB of flash memory available to you. Because this is re-writable flash memory, once you've loaded a sample, it' s always in your Motif until you decide to replace it with something else. The samples could be some of the new Motif Voice libraries or they could be your own samples—the back ground vocals from your latest album that you need to take on the road, your favorite VST sound that you've converted to Motif format or even that coffee pot in your kitchen that you know will make a great snare sound. Wherever you get the samples, you can now "roll your own" customized 2GB sample library. Imagine the power of a fully customized Motif XS with 3 GB of sounds (internal, RAM and Flash) instantly available at your fingertips.
Sound engine that increases the expressiveness of instrument sounds
The tone generator that the Motif XF has inherited from the MotifXS makes an 8-element-per-voice structure possible. Combined with Yamaha's XA (Expanded Articulation), this 8-element structure allows you to achieve stunningly accurate acoustic instruments including expressive articulations that up until now have been difficult to re-create in electronic instruments. For example, you can re-create the natural legato of wind instruments, the key release noises of pianos and other instruments, guitar slides and harmonics, and the many different articulations for string instruments (spicato, tremolo and pizzicato, etc.). The AF1 and AF2 buttons on the front panel make it easy to control Voices with multiple articulations. For synthesizer sounds, the 18 different filter types, advanced 6-stage pitch, filter and amplitude envelopes, unique Wave Cycle feature and assignable modulation Control Sets make the Motif capable of reproducing any synth sound from v

Overall Experience
Great Place to Stay
22 July 2016
Nice room. Kitchen makes it possible to cook a full meal if desired. Great variety at breakfast. Nice social hour with complementary food. Very friendly and helpful staff.
Great place to stay.
14 July 2016
Very convenient location,
Breakfast is good and plenty.
Room service and front desk are very good and efficient.
Will stay again and recommende to friends.
Great Location, Great facility
13 July 2016
The hotel is in a great location and the amenities are wonderful. Breakfast is included, dinner during the weekdays.
Chipped Gem
11 July 2016
AC did not work inside the elevator.
4th floor hallway feels like sauna, since AC did not work as well.
Staff were informed of both issues, yet nothing done. For a hotel this size, I find it ridiculous that there's no express service on weekdays.
One of the staff did not even bother to help me when I tried to extend my stay for one more night. Simply replied with "I can tell you that everything's booked"
I went online and saw that there are still rooms available.. so I went ahead call the customer service for help. After the call, I went back to test this particular staff's response again, on extending my stay. Only greeted by the same reply; that everything's booked. I told him that I already made extension by calling the customer service and for him to check the confirmation number; and he gave me a lame excuse of how he misunderstood the date.
He never checked my profile, he didn't ask my name, he didn't check my room number, he didn't check when I'm supposed to check out. For him to say that he misunderstood the date, was just ridiculous.
The internet was not working for some time; both Wifi and the computer room.
I told the staff that the LAN port connector by the work table in my room, 426, did not work. Staff said he'd send someone to check in the morning. Came back later in the evening only to find out that the issue was not solved and also whoever checking the internet, was messing with the perfectly working LAN port connector by the TV. Why would they installed a 3 inch Ethernet cable from the LAN port connector by the TV to telephone port connector next to it?

To the Editor:—
For several years a voluntary annual program of influenza immunization has been offered to employees by the Health Service of Occidental Life Insurance Company of California. In September and October 1965 the usual program was carried out, a single subcutaneous injection of 1 ml of polyvalent influenza vaccine being given to persons who had been immunized the previous year and two subcutaneous injections of 1 ml each at a four-week interval to those who had not received the vaccine for over one year. The vaccine used contained five virus strains in the A2, A, A1 and B groups.There was an outbreak of influenza in the Los Angeles area in February 1966 which was associated with an increase in illness absenteeism among our employees. The Los Angeles County Health Department identified an A2 ( Asian) influenza virus as the causative agent. From Feb 14 through

Music Top Gay Albums: "USA! USA!" Edition
Last week, I Slogged about Attitude magazine's well-hyped list of the Top 50 Gay Albums of All Time.
"I think this list is interesting, but it has more of UK spin on things," wrote Impossible Prince in the comments section of the post. "Perhaps Mr. Schmader could come up with a US version."
One week later, Impossible Prince's wish is my command. Having carefully weeded out the work of those great gay-music-making Brits (Pet Shop Boys, Smiths, Bowie), I compiled my list of America's Greatest Gay Albums, which you'll find, complete with dashed-off commentary, after the jump.
This list is in no particular order. Nevertheless, it starts with:
1. 69 Love Songs by the Magnetic Fields
Take the word "gay" out of this list's title and Stephin Merritt's brilliantly conceived and executed opus still ranks near the very top. It's a postmodern highwire act that ends up going places you never imagined. It's hilarious, heartbreaking, gorgeous, and totally soaked in gay.
2. Hedwig & the Angry Inch Original Cast Recording
A homo home run from Stephen Trask and John Cameron Mitchell. The best tracks"Tear Me Down," "Angry Inch," "Midnight Radio"are the most viable rock n' roll ever produced for a "rock musical," and "Origin of Love" will be a standard at alterna-weddings until the end of time.
3. Flip Your Wig by Husker Du
Between 1984 and 1988, the greatest band in the universe was Husker Du, and Husker Du was two-thirds queer. (Shockingly, the member with the big gay moustache was the only one who wasn't a cocksmoker. Go figure.) And yeah, New Day Rising and Zen Arcade are "better" records, Flip Your Wig is the first Husker Du record I ever loved, plus it has "wig" in the title, which is inherently gay.
4. Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Between 1995 and 2006, the greatest band in the universe was Sleater-Kinney, and Sleater-Kinney was two-thirds queer, at least during the recording of Dig Me Out, the popular winner for best S-K album and understandably so (although I have a permanent soft spot for the intricate experiments of The Hot Rock...)
5. Dirty Mind by Prince
The only explicitly "gay" thing about Dirty Mind is the bisexuality Prince admits to in "Sister" (it's about Prince fucking his). And while it's odd to have bisexuality placed in the same realm as compulsive incest, Dirty Mind still scored major queer points for flying its freak flag so freakishly high (Prince hits the sack with an ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend in "When You Were Mine" and retains a bride-to-be's virginity by face-fucking her in "Head"), with Prince in full faggot-flasher drag on the cover.
6. Scissor Sisters
Attitude's poll-winners, and rightly so. So gay it couldn't have existed ten years ago, and now it's critically acclaimed mainstream pop. Miraculous.
7. The Immaculate Collection by Madonna
8. Folksinger by Phranc
I first heard this self-proclaimed lesbian folksinger when she opened for the Smiths on the Queen is Dead tour, and her first album captures everything that made her great: smart, sweet, political, and funny as shit. Archness took over on all her subsequent releases, but Folksinger remains a model of self-identified lesbian music.
9. Ingenue by KD Lang
The greatest thing to happen to lesbian sex since the thigh harness.
10. Want One by Rufus Wainwright
I picked this over his debut because I like it more. He'll make even better records in the future. With the Scissor Sisters, pop music's great gay hope.
Honorable mentions:
Personal Best by Team Dresch
Transformer by Lou Reed
New York Dolls (yeah, they were all straight, but thematically, this is some of the queerest rock ever)
The B-52s
Fit to be Tied: The Best of Joan Jett & the Blackhearts
The Georgia Peach by Little Richard

Caption Competition: Kim Jong Un Rides a Submarine
On Monday, North Korea released a series of photos of Kim Jong Un aboard a submarine as part of a report about an undated visit by the dictator to a naval unit.
During the visit, Mr. Kim, who has no known maritime training, guided a drill in which he "set the course of the submarine to the captain and taught him a good method of navigation," according to the Korean Central News Agency.
The trip rounded off with high praise of the submarine crew and gifts of binoculars and automatic rifles. In this particular picture the crew do look a little nervous, though, with the rotund boss sharing their tight quarters.
New York Times' reporter Chris Buckley has one suggestion for a caption for the photo. Leave yours in the comments section.

We have an IBM xSeries 345 server with a ServeRAID-5i controller which is starting to report problems. We also have a couple of "retired" x345s with ServeRAID-6i or 6i+ controllers in them.
Is it feasible/safe (re existing data) to move the drives from the x345 with the failing 5i to a x345 with a 6i(+) in it? Are these controllers sufficiently compatible to do that without data loss?

An Easy Way to Save Big Money on Home Decorating

Finding a Decorating Theme
Bring Color to Your Home
Home Decorating on a Budget
Ever had inspiration and decided to redecorate a room? You ran out to the local supercenter, bought a pretty paint, some curtains, a couple of throw pillows, some candles that smelled really good and then you got home and realized you had no idea how to pull it all together? Most people don't realize that planning a home-decorating project is one of the simplest ways to save wasted money. Believe me, I know! There is a simple way to keep you on track while decorating your room so that the end result is pulled together, and yet you don't waste bucks on things that end up not working. It's called a theme. Theme decorating does not mean the "Jungle Paradise" room at the local motel. What it means is creating a vision for your finished room with a few well-chosen words.
Step One - Identify how you want to feel in your room. Calm, energized, fresh, intellectual, etc. You get the idea.
Step Two - Flip through magazines and find styles and colors that give you that feeling. Tear them out, and use them to create your own theme.
Step Three - Create a name for your theme using what you've learned, such as "Romantic Blue Cottage by the Sea," "Sleek Modern Minimal with Blacks and Reds" or "Fishing in the Woods with Humor." Use as many descriptive words as you need to keep you on target.
Now, the next time you go shopping for home décor items or projects, think "Is this Romantic Blue Cottage by the Sea"? Your vision of your finished room will now be clear, and your purchases will practically make themselves! No more wasted money on things that just never fit, even though they looked great on the shelf!

Those who see what's obvious aren't necessarily brighter than others. They're just more likely to observe that the emperor is naked. Like children, they see what's actually there. Their perceptions are less clouded by belief systems, taboos, habits of thought. One responsibility of management---an important one---is to call attention to the invisible obvious, pointing it out as a child does (sometimes to the embarrassment of adults). Doing so also requires supporting employees who take that risk, too, and other risks as well.

The best ideas aren't hidden in shadowy recesses. They're right in front of us, hidden in plain sight. Innovation seldom depends on discovering obscure or subtle elements but in seeing the obvious with fresh eyes. This is easier said than done because nothing is as hard to see as what's right before our eyes. We overlook what we take for granted. Billions of tea drinkers observed the force of steam escaping from water boiling in a kettle before James Watt realized that this vapor could be converted into energy.

Is leadership inherent or trainable? Both. You are born with characteristics that reside deep inside you: drive, an ability to influence and motivate, perseverance. But you have to develop those qualities through actual leadership experiences. A key quality is adaptability--facing unexpected obstacles, falling short of goals, reading the context, and changing your approach. Absent that, leaders will continue to repeat mistakes and will not grow and develop. That leads me to the essence of the question "Why is it so hard to lead yourself?" The answer, in my experience, lies in the differences between your idealized self--how you see yourself and how you want to be seen--and your real self. The key to growing as a leader is to narrow that gap by developing a deep self-awareness that comes from straight feedback and honest exploration of yourself, followed by a concerted effort to make changes.
Bill George
Source: quoted in Fast Company, April 2007 - Bill George is the former CEO of Medtronics, Inc.
Leadership, for me, is just this. For some reason you are given the task of identifying capacities in others. In other words, when I've been put in leadership positions, it was not about me doing anything. It was about me looking around and saying, for example, "Oh, Joan. This is really for her. And this is really for him." And then not just making it happen over their dead bodies, but recognizing, out of the circle of acquaintances that you have, that these are the right people therefore the task. Or, let's say you have a kind of person in mind, but there is no such person in your circle. You recognize you need a certain kind of person and you know that person is out there somewhere. If you hold the image long enough, they will show up.So you create the picture; you hold it, and over the course of a year or two, that person steps into your life, and you recognize him or her. You feel them out a little bit, the acquaintanceship builds up, and then you spring on them what you have in mind. If you've been a good judge, they light up. Because they know that much in their life has been a preparation for this conversation.

The leader is a person who has the possibility through destiny to know the people, to recognize their capacities, and to bring them to bear on the problem.
Winston Churchill said that appetite was the most important thing about education. Leadership guru Warren Bennis says he wants to be remembered as 'curious to the end.' David Ogilvy contends that the greatest ad copywriters are marked by an insatiable curiosity 'about every subject under the sun.'

True words aren't eloquent; eloquent words aren't true. Wise men don't need to prove their point; men who need to prove their point aren't wise. The Master has no possessions. The more he does for others, the happier he is. The more he gives to others, the wealthier he is. The Tao nourishes by not forcing. By not dominating, the Master leads.

The most talked about film of the year may not be ôGravityö or ô12 Years a Slave,ö but a three-hour French lesbian romance.
ôBlue Is the Warmest Colorö won the top prize, the Palme dĺOr, at the Cannes Film Festival in May for its French-Tunisian director, Abdellatif Kechiche, and, for the first time in the Palmeĺs history, its two stars, Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux.
Jury head Steven Spielberg praised it to the heavens, as did many other critics. But some, mostly female, critics thought the movieĺs lengthy, passionate and just shy of hardcore sex scenes said more about Kechicheĺs fantasies than they did about two girls in love. Julie Maroh, author of the graphic novel from which ôBlueö was freely adapted, has criticized the film as well, writing among other things that ôIt appears to me this was what was missing on the set: lesbians.ö
Then, as Kechiche and the actresses hit the North American festival circuit late in the summer, fevered reports came out about what a trying experience making the movie was and that the women never wanted to work with the director again.
During an L.A. stopover in September, the trio played down any contention and played as nice as they could.
ôItĺs hard to explain the shoot, really,ö says Seydoux, 28, who comes from a family of French studio executives and has appeared in movies ranging from ôFarewell, My Queenö to ôMidnight in Paris,ö ôInglorious Basterdsö and ôMission: Impossible ľ Ghost Protocol.ö ôMost reporters like to focus on the negative, when actually there were a lot of really good and important experiences related to this. Itĺs a human experience before anything else. Itĺs the result that counts, basically, and how much we grew as actresses in this movie.ö
ôAbdellatif gave us a lot of freedom, but at the same time it was a very, very long shoot and the whole thing was very passionate as well,ö adds Exarchopoulos, who turns 20 next month. ôWhen we watch American movies, itĺs like wow, the actors look like theyĺre having so much fun. In France, itĺs kind of different. The psychological demands are stricter, you canĺt always enjoy the creative side of creating a character. Thatĺs why this was fun; we could just express behavior from moment to moment.ö
Filmed over a grueling five-and-a-half months, ôBlueö follows Exarchopoulosĺ character, also named Adele, from high school into a teaching career and through a decade-or-so of lovemaking and breaking up with Seydouxĺs initially blue-haired artist, Emma. The gamut is run from carnal ecstasy to emotional devastation, all in unrelenting, intimately framed widescreen.
ôI rehearsed break-up scenes that were not in the movie throughout the shoot, so that the actresses would experience it,ö Kechiche says, in French through an interpreter. ôNone of this is a method, thereĺs no science to it. Iĺm merely following my intuition. I hope things will happen during the shoot, but when they do happen, I am not quite sure how.
ôMy work as a director is to accompany the actor to this place where they can experience what the character is experiencing,ö adds the 52-year-old filmmaker, who focused on African immigrantsĺ experiences in Europe in such earlier works as ôBlack Venusö and ôThe Secret of the Grain.ö ôPart of that work is eliminating the obstacles the actors have, their self-awareness or whatever, and just getting to a place where they can open up and reach a sort of truthfulness while theyĺre being filmed.ö
Yeah, that sounds like fun.
ôThe shooting was very intense and the process was extremely intense,ö Seydoux admits. ôAbdellatif has his own way of working. Of course, working with Abdellatif, I wanted to go far as an actress.ö
Which, for the two heterosexual women, also meant going at one another with uninhibited abandon.
ôTo shoot those scenes was, of course, really hard and complicated,ö Seydoux acknowledges. ôWe had to understand that it meant something, not only as actors but as a person, to be naked in front of the camera. But the thing is, it was part of the story, and I knew that beforehand so I was OK for that.ö
ôThe comic books were really explicit,ö Exarchopoulos notes. ôThis passion between the two of them reflects everything, how theyĺre so connected, so this was really important. But in every movie, itĺs not a fun part to make a love scene like that, so intimate at times.
ôSometimes, I squint at them when I see the movie because it makes me uncomfortable,ö Exarchopoulos adds. ôItĺs not because itĺs so raw, itĺs just the fact that I have some complexes, like everyone does, and itĺs hard to watch them so physically and so close up in front of everyone. Itĺs like everyone can see what I ate!ö
For his part, Kechiche sounds less than, well, passionate about the controversial love scenes.
ôI felt that they should be in the film, and itĺs kind of up to the viewer to feel either they are just right or that they are too much or they are essential or theyĺre the centerpiece of the film or theyĺre superfluous to the story,ö he says. ôItĺs really up to the viewer to experience that. At that moment, when I made the film, they were right for the story. Perhaps, if I made the film today or in a different stateů I canĺt really say. But they have a place in the whole of the story, and thatĺs why theyĺre there.ö
Charges that ôBlueö is all about the male gaze get his dander up, though.
ôItĺs a moot point for me,ö he says. ôTo criticize that itĺs [from a masculine viewpoint] is, in itself, racist. Itĺs the viewpoint of an artist, not of a man or a woman. Itĺs an artistic expression.ö
Speaking of prejudice ľ and more controversy ľ ôBlueö won its Palme dĺOr a week after France very contentiously legalized gay marriage.
ôWe were like, ĹWoo hoo hoo hoo hoo!ĺö Seydoux says of the moment the three of them were named. ôIt was like a surprise, but it was like a blessing. The fact that Steven Spielberg gave us this prize, and for us to be awarded for this work, was something so huge for us because we gave so much of ourselves to it.ö
ôThis wasnĺt made as a gay political movie,ö Exarchopoulos adds. ôWe just made a love movie about when you have so many feelings that you canĺt control. But itĺs the most beautiful coincidence that you can have, to win the Palme at the time marriage equality was legalized.ö
ôItĺs a very modern story in that itĺs beyond homosexuality,ö Seydoux concludes. ôSo, I think itĺs really a film that can change cinema in the long run. Itĺs a new way to show the reality. I think that people today are more free about themselves; I really feel like itĺs not a taboo anymore.ö

Two-car wreck sends four to the hospital
A two-car wreck sent four people, including one child, to the hospital, the Highway Patrol said.
At around 7 p.m. Wednesday, a van was attempting to cross N.C. 17 from Wildlife Rd., when it hit a truck traveling north on N.C. 17, the investigating trooper said.
Four people, three from the van and one from the truck, were all transported to Carolina East Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries, the trooper said. One of the victim was a child.
Neither alcohol or speed were factors, the trooper said. The identities of those involved were not released. Charges were pending.
The truck in the wreck had an "Advanced Signs" business logo.

Keighley, England froggybank.co.uk, which operates a U.K. network of consumer loyalty cashback Web sites, has seen a record increase in business driven by the rising cost of living.
The company offers 100% of the commissions it receives back to consumers, allowing them to keep the money or donate to charities. Shoppers log onto a cashback site before making online purchases from major retailers as normal. The referral fee paid by more than 1,500 retailers to the Web site is returned to the shopper as cashback.
The rate of new members joining to get money off online purchases from the froggybank.co.uk network is up 64% in the last six months. The network now has more than 500,000 shoppers, but there has been a 40% increase in repeat visitors using the sites for smaller purchases than ever before.
Marketing manager Nadeem Azam said they are seeing many new shoppers claim cashback on relatively small purchases. "Traditionally when people first discover cashback shopping they use it to get money back from a large purchase such as insurance or a major electrical item," Azam said. "But we are seeing an unusually high number of people registering, then immediately claiming cashback on small every day purchases such as entertainment items, or health and beauty products."
"This trend is being driven by people having less money in their pocket because of the rising cost of fuel, food and other items. Cashback Web sites let people buy the goods they normally get at the prices they normally pay, with a little extra money back."

Keeping things short and sweet today. Here's one of my favorite descriptions from my new novel, The Fragment.
Writing challenge
Have you visited a place that is so jaw-dropping, it's hard to describe in words?
Envision that place. Describe it, helping people who have never been there to see it, feel it, taste it.
This place might be a grand palace, like the one I describe here. Or it may be the view from your yard. Or something you see daily while you commute to work.
Give it a shot in the comments. I'm betting big money that we have more than a few "word artists" out there.

Released: Aug 01st, 1998
Running Time: 86
Directors: John T Bone, John T. Bone
Company: Sterling Raw
Cast: Dave Hardman, Camille (I), Brian Surewood, Kendra Jade, Jennie Lee MacKenzie
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Anyone who knows a thing or two about anal has to agree that the irrepressible Jenny Lee MacKenzie is one of the best at taking a cock in her ass. Then, again, the same can be said of Davy Crockett and marksman-ship, and look what happened to him at the Alamo.
Even with MacKenzie's luscious, puckering butthole on display, Butt Sex 3 suffers from an eager willingness to get the job done and over with —as though there were a crap game in progress and the cops were busting down the front door. Besides that, Kendra Jade, the titty that made Jerry Springer famous, dildos herself in the butt while her partner, Jay London, limply whacks off. Jerry would be mortified. Weak points far outnumber the strong in this very average romp.

A Staten Island man's attempt to win $1 million by streaking in front of President Obama appears to have backfired.
The prank may be on him.
Juan J. Rodriguez, a 24-year-old unemployed painter, took up a challenge made by an Internet billionaire when he ran through a crowd, naked as a jaybird, as Obama was delivering a speech on Sunday at a rally in Germantown.

text: Need some help with slicing and dicing? Do you love cooking, but sometimes wish you could have an assistant to do all the boring stuff like chopping veggies and mashing potatoes. If this is you, then a food processor may be just what you need. It makes chopping, dicing and slicing tasks a breeze. Video: How to find the best food processor < A food processor really does make cooking easier ...as long as you actually take it out of the cupboard and use it. A food processor is about as close as it gets to the Holy Grail of kitchen appliances (the Holy Grail being the pricey Thermomix, of course). With a food processor you can do just about anything - slice, dice, chop, shred, grate, zest, mash, puree, mix, knead, grind and emulsify. Add a blender and you can chop nuts and spices, and crush ice. Looking for the best food processor? See our expert food processor reviews. Food processor, or blender, or both? A stand alone food processor is a good choice if you have limited bench space or you already have a blender. Otherwise you might want to consider a combination food processor and blender, but they are a bit bulkier and can be hard to store. Don't forget they can be very noisy There's no denying that a food processor is a noisy appliance. If you're looking for one that's quiet it's unlikely you'll find one you're completely happy with. We've taken noise measurements of the models we've tested and found that they range from 68dB to 90dB. For comparison, a typical conversation is carried out at roughly 60dB, while city traffic is measured at around 80dB. The quietest models we tested will still require you to raise your voice if you're having a conversation. Listening to the loudest models would be like hearing a motorcycle only eight metres away. OK, I need one of these Holy Grail thingies. What should I look for? Storage for all the extra bits and pieces An internal storage drawer or separate storage box keeps all the attachments together – a good way to protect the blades, and your fingers. But we found it strange that some models aren't big enough to store all the blades and attachments included with the appliance. Bowl size The size of the food processor bowl varies from model to model, so think about what you'll be using it for and the amount of food you'll need to process. A mini-processor bowl that sits inside the main food processor bowl is great for working with small quantities, making pesto and mayonnaise and grinding nuts. A separate grinder unit can do much the same thing. Pulse A pulse function gives short bursts of power, which helps to distribute the load more evenly and create an even consistency, especially when blending smaller amounts. Reversible blade A reversible blade has a grating blade on one side and a slicing blade on the other — it's useful as it cuts down the number of separate blades you need to store. Double feed chute This is a standard chute with a smaller chute insert that allows for smaller or thinner foods to be guided into the food processor for better control when slicing or shredding. Rubber feet Rubber feet on the motor unit can help keep it stable while the machine is in use. Chipping blade You'll need this if you want to make chips or vegetable strips. Beater and whisk disc attachments You'll need these if you want to whip cream or beat egg whites. Juicer A number of models come with a citrus juicer. Some come with a press juice extractor for juicing other types of fruit and vegetables. Maximum capacity disc Not many food processors come with this attachment, but if you're planning to use your food processor to make liquids like almond milk, then this attachment is essential. It changes the force in the processor bowl to push any liquid that rises to the top back into the bowl. With this attachment you can go above the maximum liquid capacity while avoiding liquid being splattered out of the processor. Cost $40 (for a mini food processor) to $1000.

Definición de silicone en inglés:
Any of a class of synthetic materials that are polymers with a chemical structure based on chains of alternate silicon and oxygen atoms, with organic groups attached to the silicon atoms. Such compounds are typically resistant to chemical attack and insensitive to temperature changes and are used to make rubber, plastics, polishes, and lubricants.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- Among the plastics materials used for prostheses, silicone elastomers, also known as silicon rubber or silicones, have been particularly favoured as they combine flexibility with chemical and thus physiological inertness.
- The effect of surface energy on adhesion is often studied by employing widely different materials, ranging from urethanes and epoxies (high energy), to silicones and fluorinated materials (low energy).
- Depending on the type and location of the flashings, roofing tar or silicone or butyl rubber sealants can be used to seal small cracks and gaps.
verbo[with object] (usually be siliconed)
Join or otherwise treat (something) with a silicone.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- Then we superglued and siliconed the whole shebang together.
- While Mr. Nesbitt claimed the windows were siliconed shut, there was no such evidence as the holidaymaker had all the windows opened.
- Carrier siliconed the unit onto the trolley's roof near a wire run.

text: Atossa Genetics Another stock that's quickly moving within range of triggering a major breakout trade is Atossa Genetics ( ATOS), a health care company focused on the commercialization of cellular and molecular diagnostic risk assessment products and related services for the detection of pre-cancerous conditions that could lead to breast cancer. This stock has been on fire so far in 2013, with shares up 101%. This company has a catalyst on the horizon, since its set to present at the 25th Annual Roth Conference on March 19. The company plans on discussing its growth strategy and will provide updates on its national rollout of ForeCYTE Breast Health Test. If you look at the chart for Atossa Genetics, you'll notice that this stock recently formed a double bottom chart pattern at around $6.10 to $6.20 a share. That bottoming pattern also formed right above ATOS's 50-day moving average of $5.68 a share. Shares of ATOS are now starting to rip significantly higher off that double-bottom area, and the stock is quickly moving within range of triggering a major breakout trade. At last check, ATOS has hit an intraday high of $8.25 and volume at over 245,000 shares is dramatically higher than its three-month average action of 20,172 shares. Market players should now look for long-biased trades in ATOS if it manages to break out above its intraday high of $8.25 a share and then its all-time high of $9.45 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average action of 20,172 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then ATOS will enter new all-time high territory above $9.45, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets are $13 to $15 a share, or even higher. Traders can look to buy ATOS off any notable weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits near today's low of $6.45 or near that double bottom area at $6.20 to $6.10 a share. One can also buy ATOS off strength once it clears those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that's a comfortable percentage from your entry point. Prev 3 of 6 Next

Crude April Trading Range Tightest Since 1995: Chart of the Day
Oil's April trading range is the tightest for any month in 17 years as concern eased that supplies would be disrupted and reports showed slower U.S. economic growth.
The CHART OF THE DAY shows the percentage difference between the monthly high and low beginning with April 1983. This month's price has ranged from $100.68 to $105.49 a barrel, a difference of 4.8 percent. That's the smallest since February 1995, when the price ranged from $18.13 to $18.98.
"The oil market has found equilibrium right now," said Tom Bentz, a director with BNP Paribas Prime Brokerage Inc. in New York. "There will have to be some more significant news to get us to move out of the recent range."
Crude rose to $110.55 a barrel on March 1 as Western nations prepared sanctions against Iran, then slipped as tension eased. U.S. gross domestic product growth slowed to a 2.2 percent rate in the first quarter, according to the Commerce Department.
"There have been some real negative economic headlines, but they weren't sufficient to move the market lower," Bentz said.
The record high difference is 81.9 percent, set in January 1991 when the Persian Gulf War began. The price ranged from $18 to $32.75 that month. The difference exceeded 60 percent in October 2008 and December 2008 as oil fell to $32.40 a barrel in December from the all-time high of $147.27 in July.

It comes one week after Warriena "Rrie'' Wright, 26, was
killed in the fall from the Avalon apartments in Surfers
Paradise about 2.20am on Friday last week.
Police took Tostee into custody for questioning this
afternoon, but a Gold Coast police spokeswoman said no
charges had been laid.
"A 28-year-old man is currently assisting police with
inquiries in relation to the incident,'' she told APNZ.
Tostee arrived at the Southport Courthouse on the Gold Coast
in the back of an unmarked police car.
Handcuffed, wearing shorts and a white T-shirt, he was led
through a side entrance into the court building, shortly
before 12.30pm local time.
Ms Wright, who was on the Gold Coast for a close friend's
wedding, had been at the bodybuilder's apartment after
meeting him on the dating app Tinder.
Tostee left the apartment the morning of the death but later
contacted police. He was released without charge.
Police have scoured his apartment for forensic evidence and
seized hard drives, discs and a camera.
They have also been monitoring Tostee's posts on social
media, where he denied causing Ms Wright's death and bragged
about his past sexual conquests.

Passionate about music as a kid, Shane Willz was introduced to instruments at an early age. He was skillfully playing guitar and piano by age 9 and, by age 12, had already formed his first band. As Shane matured he began to refine his skills and shift his musical momentum towards hip hop. With a strong musical background, Shane picked up production quickly and, as luck would have it, a friend who was moving out of town gave Shane everything he needed to get started on the road to a successful future in hip hop.
Armed with nothing but a keyboard, MPC, computer and microphone, Shane threw himself into his music. Spending countless hours day and night working away until everything was perfect. Every kick, every snare, every rhyme, every sound. "Music first, everything else secondary," was his motto. From house parties with friends spitting freestyles for hours, to rocking the stage in front of thousands of strangers, Shane knew from the start that this was his calling.
Fast forward a few years and Shane Willz has become something of a multifaceted dynamo. He is his own producer, artist, engineer, manager, agent and marketing team. After pursuing Audio Engineering in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Shane gained valuable production and recording skills as well as knowledge and insight into the industry. He has produced music for companies like Converse and Nike, and has shared the stage with artists such as The Game, Snoop Dogg, Kid Ink, Asher Roth, MGK, Bone Thugs, Big Boi, Andre Nickatina, GZA, E-40, Gucci Mane etc.....
Steadily progressing with his music and always keeping an open mind to new ventures, Shane is certainly showing dedication to his craft as well as an uncompromised work ethic. With great success from the release of his first mixtape "RAGELIFE", and much anticipation surrounding the release of his new EP titled "P.A.I.N.T.", fans, family and friends are all anxiously waiting for Shane Willz to truly take the spotlight and show the world that this is what he was born to do.

Description and history of diving
This is the rising of the River Shannon, taking water from Shannon Cave and other sinks on Cuilcagh Mountain. It was first dived in April 1971 by J. V. Elliot and Roger Solari, who reached a depth of -6 m at an overhang with a black hole below. Returning in September 1971 they reached -8.4 m to find the water emerging from a long slit 150-300 mm high. Martyn Farr dived in April 1972 and confirmed the previous findings but got no further. In 2009 Artur Kozlowski broke through into a large submerged chamber, the floor of which is at -14 m. This is quite unstable.

Recent dives
20-12-2008 - divers Al Kennedy and Paul Doig
First dive together ended in confusion and entanglement with trees at -2 m. Second dive made solo by AK also ended in entanglement with a large tree at -3.7 m. Leaking regulators curtailed any further exploration. Visibility was extremely poor, about 0.5 m, the water is heavily stained. Progress was mostly by feel. Upwelling current was noted on the surface of the pot.
17-01-2009 - divers Artur Kozlowski, Al Kennedy and Paul Doig
Navigating among submerged trees and belaying unorthodoxly to tree branches Artur reached gravel bottom of the pot at -7 m sloping eastward. After two meters or so an overhanging section of rock appeared and the way on seemed to be situated underneath through a tight slot partially blocked by large cobbles and a few small boulders. They were all very rounded and situated on an unstable slope of 30 degree. This section looked very washed and clean with good visibility of 1 m. After 10 minutes of work the slit was enlarged enough to be entered. After one meter another low section was enlarged /negotiated after which passage opened up comfortably to at least 2x1 m. Moving very slowly down the steep slope no obvious belay points could be found - some smaller boulders were sitting out of the gravel bottom but the diver didn't dare pull out any of them fearing that would destabilize the whole slope. The right hand wall was irregular and few projections that looked like solid hard limestone simply broke off when he tried to belay to them - they turned out to be very soft and brittle. It was the same about some smaller boulders - they just fell apart when he tried to wrap snoopy loop around them. Line was tied off to the first encountered loose cobble 10 m into the cave at -13 m. Total dive time 25 minutes.
On his second dive Artur reached EOL in matter of minutes and continued for another couple of meters to the bottom of the slope at -14.7 m of depth. A strong current was emerging from a shaft in the floor. It was tight and looked extremely unstable - walls consisted of small, loose boulders. The diver continued over the shaft and a 2 m long linear depression in mixed gravel/cobble bottom. When one of cobbles was lifted large quantities of sand started sinking rapidly into the bottom. Unsure what was going to happen next diver plugged the hole in the floor again! After a total of 20 m from cave entrance the wall seemed to close down. Al and Paul dived next and surveyed the cave along the line confirming existence of substantial chamber at the bottom of the slope and around the shaft.
24/01/2009 - divers Paul Doig and Al Kennedy
A few days of high rain fall has made a considerable change inside the chamber. Obviously a high water flow creates a very violent environment inside the chamber with rocks and gravel being tumbled like a washing machine. The gravel coverage was changed and larger rocks had been moved including changing the entrance, which was now harder to negotiate.
The bottom of the shaft was now visible on this dive and seen turning to the north 1.5 m down.

Exactly where? In frontend or backend? Or give me an example.
Okay, I have detected the problem. I have updated the plugin, please download the latest update, but before delete the table called "wp_slideshow_plugin" from your wordpress database.
If you don't know how to do it, download the latest update and activate the plugin, then deactivate and click delete plugin, this will delete the plugin but also the table itself. Then you can download the plugin again and it works with Cyrillic alphabet. (Remember you you must have the latest (2.0.2) plugin installed in order to do that)
Now it works fine. Thank you!
