For its recent project, Bristow Middle's leadership class thought inside the box.
The Brentwood students recently paired up with local Operation Creekside to create 48 "morale" boxes filled with letters, snacks, candy and small gifts for soldiers stationed overseas.
Shawna Borba, journalism and leadership teacher, said the boxes are reaching the soldiers just in time for Thanksgiving.
"My leadership class asked the entire (student body), Brentwood Elementary Bulldog Club and Marsh Creek Elementary to trick-or-treat for a soldier," she said. "Students gave (us) all their hard candy. We received about 50 pounds of candy."
While the leadership club did the majority of the boxes, Bristow's journalism and yearbook classes pitched in, too.
Borba contacted Operation Creekside to tie in with a class lesson unit on "giving."
"We wanted to give back to a local charity," she said.
This is the first time Borba's class of 36 students has done this type of project.
"We felt we could help this worthy charity and maybe help breathe life and a new found interest into it," she said. "We filled the boxes with cards, baby wipes, hot sauce, crackers, Pop Tarts, drink mix and much more. And, two of my students saved up their money to be able to cover the cost of shipping their box."
The students were excited to help others, which obviously makes Borba proud. "I'm extremely happy that my students jumped on this challenge."
Operation Creekside sends about 15 care packages a month to deployed men and women of the U.S. military. Led by senior pastor Scott Kirk, the program is run out of Brentwood's Creekside Christian Church. For more information on how you can help, call 925-260-5423 or email email@example.com
SOUP'S ON: Laurel School Library is once again sponsoring its canned soup drive to donate to a local community food organization. Students, families and residents can bring their cans to the Oakley library through the end of this month. Items will be given to Oakley families in need. The school has participated in this project for the past several years. For more information, call 925-625-7090.

text: Yeah, that's why when I attempt French in PMs, I omit the accents. My browser seems not to handle them too well.I will have to practice my French rhyming by watching a lot more Mika interviews, I am afraid, before I can avoid mistakes like the belle/guele one. Thanks for fixing the "lui" part though--"lui" has always mixed me up! I know, I know, direct object vs. indirect, but I keep forgetting until someone calls my attention to it.But of course we all know (nous savons tous, merci encore) that the real point of this poem was the couplet:Tes cheveux, si longs et douxTes mamelons, si mous et rouxand I am glad that did not require any corrections. P.S. By the way, I left out the "que"s after "p'tet" and "penser" on purpose to make the meter smoother--are you not allowed to omit "que"s at all, even counting poetic license?"why, instead of semen, couldn't men ejaculate strawberry jam or something?"--jareth's tights"I have had contact with a vagina." --strangeDivine

About the Book
"Her characters are intelligent, vibrant, and wonderfully complex. Katharine Ashe writes with eloquence and power."
—Lisa Kleypas
"You'll be swept away by Katharine Ashe's evocative writing."
—Sabrina Jeffries
The phenomenal Katharine Ashe flings open the portals of the mysterious Falcon Club—the intriguing Regency address that has every gossip in London asking, "What use has society of an exclusive gentleman's club if no gentlemen are ever seen to pass through its door?" The first book in Ashe's captivating historical romance series, When a Scot Loves a Lady finds its dashing hero Lord Blackwood, an agent of the ultra-secretive Falcon Club, ready to return to his home in Scotland—but not without the scandalous lady who has captured his heart while bringing unanticipated danger into his life. Johanna Lindsey fans, this Scot's for you!
London gossips are asking: What use has society of an exclusive gentleman's club if no gentlemen are ever seen to pass through its door?
After years as an agent of the secret Falcon Club, Lord Leam Blackwood knows it's time to return home to Scotland. One temptation threatens his plans—Kitty Savege, who warms his blood like a dram of fine whiskey. But a dangerous enemy stands in the way of desire, and to beat this foe Leam needs Kitty's help . . .
Kitty never wanted to spend her holidays in a wretched country village! With snow up to the windows, escape is nowhere in sight. A roguish Scottish lord, however, is. His rough brogue sends heat from Kitty's frigid toes to her chilled nose, but she's confident she can withstand that. What she cannot control is the reaction of her guarded heart when she discovers this beast is no beast at all . . .

Apollo Trying to Sell Professional Arm of McGraw-Hill Education
Private-equity firm Apollo Global Management is trying to sell the professional business of McGraw-Hill Education, which it bought earlier this year from the company now known as McGraw Hill Financial according to people familiar with the matter.
Apollo is shopping a medical information business called AccessMedicine, as well as a reference title business and trade publishing arm, the people said.
Combined, the three businesses could fetch several hundred million dollars, the people said.
Earlier this year, Apollo paid about $2.4 billion for McGraw-Hill Education, which includes businesses such as a kindergarten-through-high school division and a higher-education division. The professional business is now on the block.
Apollo's purchase of McGraw-Hill Education itself followed a sales process designed to enable the former McGraw-Hill Cos. to separate its education business from its financial-services business, which includes the Standard & Poor's bond-rating service.
Apollo in August announced its largest quarterly dividend since going public, as the private-equity firm reaped big deal profits by selling companies it owns. Shares are up about 70% this year and closed Tuesday at $29.54.
Meanwhile, the textbook industry has been struggling. Cengage Learning Inc., a textbook publisher, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July.

Things got a little sloppy on last night's Chelsea Lately when Diddy showed up late and drunk, and Chelsea wasn't happy. But, she was seemingly soothed by Diddy's relentless advances toward her, to which she seemed somewhat receptive.
Later on, after bonding over a love of vodka, Diddy had had enough of being called "girl" and offered to show Chelsea his "shlong." Then, he confessed his true love for her and his desire to do nothing more than share a cheeseburger and a movie night with her.

5 Opinions
Adobe don't care about sites like iusethis
but there is a preview of the next bloatware version 1.8.1 available
so maybe 1.7.2 should no longer be held on this site
Stands in a long tradtion of bloated, buggy applications from Adobe.
The (clean) interface is quite nice. But that's the only good thing.
-The app is based on Flash, so it's a resource hog (flip a few pages and you'll see the cpu fan spike).
-No font anti-aliasing. That's a HUGE problem.
-Bunch of DRM crap.
Adobe says it is a "lightweight" app meant for reading. Well... lightweight only in size (a few MB). Responsiveness from a GB app.
I found this very difficult to use. Compared with other ebook solutions available (e.g. eReader, Stanza), it's extremely clumsy and counter-intuitive. The download-to-read process, in particular, is ridiculously awkward. Note: Stanza will read and convert a wide range of ebook formats. Calibre also converts many formats.
This is really useful for PDF-based comic books!

Former Burroughs baseball standout J.D. Martin pitched five shutout innings for Durham on Sunday, picking up his 11th victory as the Bulls beat Gwinnett 2-1. The win was Durham's eighth in a row heading into the All-Star break.
Martin struck out five batters while allowing two hits and a walk, and threw a season-low 68 pitches in an abbreviated start. The right-hander's workload was limited to keep him fresh for Wednesday's Triple-A All-Star Game, which he is eligible to start for the International League.
The Triple-A All-Star game, which matches the International League against the Pacific Coast League, will be held in Reno. First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 p.m., and the game will be televised live on MLB Network.
Martin heads into the All-Star Break with an 3.02 ERA and 81 strikeouts in 113.1 innings pitched. He has an 11-4 record in 19 starts so far this season.

The nature of some of Irving's errors
13.143 As I have already indicated it is material to take account of the nature or quality of what Irving claims to have been mistakes or misapprehensions on his part. Certain of Irving's misrepresentations of the historical evidence might appear to be simple mistakes on his part, for instance the misreading of haben as Juden in Himmler's telephone log for 1 December 1941. But there are other occasions where Irving's treatment of the historical evidence is so perverse and egregious that it is difficult to accept that it is inadvertence on his part. Examples include Irving's rejection of the evidence for the existence of gas chambers at Auschwitz; his claim that Hitler lost interest in anti-semitism on coming to power; his account of Hitler's meeting with Horthy in April 1943; his wholesale dismissal of the testimony of Marie Vaillant-Couturier and his continued reliance on the forged Tagesbefehl No. 47 which purportedly gave the number of casualties in Dresden. I have referred in the course of this judgment to other instances where Irving's account flies in the face of the available evidence.
13.144 Mistakes and misconceptions such as these appear to me by their nature unlikely to have been innocent. They are more consistent with a willingness on Irving's part knowingly to misrepresent or manipulate or put a "spin" on the evidence so as to make it conform with his own preconceptions. In my judgment the nature of these misstatements and misjudgments by Irving is a further pointer towards the conclusion that he has deliberately skewed the evidence to bring it into line with his political beliefs.

"The Atomic Bass earphones' understated design is further promoted by the supercompact size of the buds. Even users with smaller-than-average ears should have no problem achieving a relatively secure and comfortable fit. Radius includes three sizes of silicone ear tips, and I had no trouble getting a good fit with the smallest of these. I found the earphones to be comfortable after more than two hours of wear". - (CNET)
"Audio Performance of the Atomic Bass is Intense..It's impressive that these small earphones pack so much punch at such low price...The Radius Atomic Bass are aptly named: The low frequency response of the Atomic Bass is surprisingly stronger than the $1150 Ultimate Ears UE11Pro, which has a subwoffer built-in each ear...All this makes them a terrific budget pick for fans of music with a prominent low end".- (PC Magazine)
"Radius has gone with untraditional shapes that both look and feel good, assuming that they're inserted and then twisted into the proper position in your ear canals, the silicone tips sealing with your ears to block out quite a bit of ambient sound...When they're in properly, however, they provide the right quantity of bass, enough to let you hear low-end notes, but without the Darth Vader-style mid-bass-boosting effect of V-Moda's original Vibes. By the standards of $40 earphones, these sound quite good". - (iLounge)
"The Atomic Bass is a very strong performer for its price, and I would recommend it over several more expensive earphones...It's also worth noting that Radius claims the Atomic Bass is ideal for those with small ears". - (MacWorld)
"I thought they'd perform like any other cheaper set of earphones, but oh boy was I impressed. I'm not even kidding when I said that my head was rattling the first time I tried them. Radius isn't kidding when they say these have "atomic" bass. They're not as powerful as ear-thumping deejay-style cans, but these are among the best in-ear style headphones that I have ever used". - (Mobile Magazine)
"The contrast between highs and lows were immensely wide and crystal clear. The bass response had a bottom of which I'd never heard before. I've been a long time student of the school of thought "No bass, no good." And THIS was good. But what I was most impressed with was the full range of studio panning available with these headsets. That is, the sensation of three dimensional audio spacing; front-left, front-center, front-right; rear-left, rear-center and rear-right. The result was the grand sense of a large room being filled with a wall of sound. "Mucho Awesome! The Radius Atomic Bass for iPhone earphones $39.99 and worth every penny. It also stands up to several of the more expensive models like the Etymotic hf2 noise-isolating headset + earphones for example which run up to $179. Ouch!". - (Method Shop)
"Good quality earphones are impossible to come by, but for a budget the Radius Atomic Bass 2 + Mic Earphones offer very good bass, fantastic sound quality, and amazing noise cancellation for the money". - (Chip Chick)
"Bang for the buck:
It is easy to test these against my collection of $100ish earphones and it sits mid pack. Sounds was comparable, fit was perfect, and the iPhone controls were cool. The hard part is to remember the Radius earphones cost half of the others. And that is impressive.
"Needless to say, this is far beyond the performance I've had with all but the most expensive systems in the past. Even the $200 pair of Sharper Image over-the-ear Quiet Place headphones (which I've taken on two overseas flights and used for many movies and hours of music in flight and on the ground) take a back seat to these $50 Radius units. And the fact that they fit into a small mint tin, rather than taking up more room than an SLR camera, means they are more likely to be in your bag when you need a quiet moment". - (The Gadgeteer)
"As for comfort they're very comfortable for long periods of time, they're lightweight and after a while you don't even notice them in your ears, you can easily wear these for hours with no ill effects...The Radius Atomic Bass Aluminum Earphones are not only stylish, but they're made well and they work as advertised, they truly do add more bass to your music experience". - (The Gadgeteer)
"Radius Atomic Bass Earphones are 10 steps above Apple's Earphones. Comparing these to some VMODA, Apple, Sennheiser, and Bose earphones, I think these just blow those into another dimension". - (iFans)
"If you're looking for something sleek, snazzy and a little easier on the pocketbook, perhaps the Radius iPod Aluminum Ear Buds are just the thing to dress up your commute and workout". - (StyleList)
"This whole global economic crisis, and its resulting massive loss of jobs got us thinking. We here at Engadget didn't want to stand helplessly by, announcing every new round of misery without giving anything back -- so we decided to take the opportunity to spread a little positivity. Get your self a pair of Radius Atomic Bass Earphones. The best value you can find for the money." - (Engadget)
"With the super thin rubber wire and deep in-ear style, these earbuds are barely noticeable. This is great news for athletes who wear helmets. I took the buds out for a spin on my snowboard and barely noticed them. The headphones were so flush with my ear that they never touched my helmet." - (Electronista)
"However, after listening for myself, I definitely hear how good they are. The clear sound might have something to do with its unique shape" - (Coolest-Gadgets)
"Whether its rock music or your classical bliss that is needed, the radius Atomic Bass earphones deliver a sound that is well above standard earphones especially the ones that usually accompany mp3 players. Music styles like techno that deliver variants of bass can be heard with more than just a subtle difference. These earphones can also increase the bass." - (Viral Electronics )
"When anyone will ask me about these earphones the first thing I will tell them is what a deal. If you look at other earphones like the V-Moda Vibes that sell for $99.99 and the Shures E4cs that are $169.99 the Atomic Bass Earphones from Radius are surely a great deal. Overall ThinkComputers gives the Radius Atomic Bass Earphones for iPhone a 9 out of 10 score and our Good Value Award!" - (ThinkComputers)
"Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised by the audio performance of the Radius Atomic Bass. Presenting some window shattering, neighbor angering bass in this package and price (Which, of course, any of the listen won't actually happen because it's not a full scare home audio system), regardless the bass is still jaw dropping awesomeness. And the good thing is that it's not overwhelming at all, unlike some competing products." - (APH Networks)
"The Atomic Bass headphones are very comfortable and promise to deliver impressive bass form the tiny size of the earphones....If you are looking for a set of earphones that are small, work with the iPhone or iPod and have good bass Radius Atomic Bass earphone is perhaps the best choice. - (Smashing Gadgets)

WACO – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Volleyball team powered their way to a sweep over the Tulane Green Wave on Saturday, winning a close 3-0 (25-21, 25-22, 26-24) to earn the first win of the season. The team will be back in action on Saturday afternoon in a 4:30 p.m. match against Nevada to finish play in the Fairfield Inn North Baylor Classic.
The Islanders improve to 1-1 on the season with the win, while Tulane drops to 0-2 after a tough five-set loss against Nevada to open the season. Nevada plays Baylor before the two teams face off at 4:30 on Saturday.
Brooke Alverson led the way for the Islanders, picking up a match-high 13 kills on a .333 hitting percentage, while Shannon Hullum also picked up double digits, totaling 10 kills against the Green Wave. Logen Bourque added 36 assists in the match to lead both teams, and Micah Nolan did the same with her 20 digs in the contest. Alverson also led the team in blocks, picking up six block assists while Ivy Baresh was close behind with five on the day.
In the first set, the Islanders fell behind 14-11 before a block assist by Alverson and Baresh, another by Alverson and Brianna Brink and a Tulane attack error tied the score at 14-14. After the teams traded points to 15-15, a Green Wave error and an Alverson service ace gave Texas A&M – Corpus Christi a lead they would not relinquish. With the score 22-20, a Baresh kill and a pair by Alverson finished the set at 25-21 to give the Islanders a 1-0 lead in the match.
Set two saw Texas A&M – Corpus Christi jump out to an 8-3 lead behind kills from Baresh, Bourque and three from Alverson, while Alverson and Bourque each had a block assist. They held the advantage throughout, with Tulane closing in late at 24-22, but another Alverson kill gave the Islanders a lead of 2-0 against the Green Wave.
In the final frame the score was close throughout, with 13 tie scores and neither team leading by more than three points. Hullum came through big in the set, picking up six kills to lead the team. With the score tied 23-23, Baresh picked up a kill to bring up match point, but Tulane tied it once again at 24-24. After that point, two consecutive attack errors closed the match with a 26-24 final and a three-set sweep.

Paul Giamatti Gossip
Paul Giamatti gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
"You are now about to witness…"
There was a distraction from the Grammys on Sunday. It distracted me for almost half an hour. Twitter too, it seems, because it was trending for a while… A red band trailer for Straight Outta Compton was released. Have you seen it yet? It opens with Dre and Ice Cube returning home, talking about what it was like, then, and featuring some of the current faces of hip-hop, like The Game and an adorable Kendrick Lamar, talking about how NWA influenced their careers, their lives, the business. Full Story
What a boss
How awesome is the sight of George Clooney arriving on a boat? Look at this. Who does it better than this? Who owns the world better than this? (Maybe Brad Pitt, but it would be a bloody battle.) This is George Clooney, all boss, cranking up the handsome, arriving at the Venice Film Festival today for The Ides of March photo call with co-writer Grant Heslov and co-stars Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei, and Evan Rachel Wood. Full Story
He could be Haymitch too
As noted previously in posts about The Hunger Games, my pick for Haymitch is Philip Seymour Hoffman. That said, Paul Giamatti works too. So many articles about Giamatti reference the fact that he's not a pretty guy. Thing is though, he gets more, and lately better, than most of the pretty guys in the business. Full Story
Life after Twilight
It's Rachelle Lefevre in Rome with Paul Giamatti and that sexy beast Scott Speedman shooting Barney's Version based on Mordecai Richler's famous novel of the same name. As I said 2 weeks ago, for an actor from Montreal, working on a Richler project is the opportunity of a lifetime. There is a world outside of Twilight. Full Story

With the threat of war in the horizon, we've been hearing a lot about the use of smallpox as a weapon. Now, the Bush Administration is asking volunteers to get vaccinated in case of an outbreak.
Smallpox is a disease that has plagued humans since recorded history. In 1980 Smallpox was declared eradicated following worldwide vaccination programs. Now there are concerns that terrorists will use the disease as a weapon.
Smallpox resembles Chickenpox in the early stages then it becomes much more serious. The disease lasts for 21 days starting first with a rash in the mouth then a fever and muscular aches and pains. About one-third die from the disease, while the mortality rates can be as high as 50 percent in children and survivors are all scarred.
Smallpox is transmissible through the respiratory route as well as by the scabs that are infectious. The good news is a person cannot transmit the disease after they've recovered.
The Federal Government at this point says there's no reason to believe that smallpox presents an imminent danger. The vaccination plan developed is a precautionary step.

PBS' American Masters series positioned its spotlight on Jeff Bridges last night. As supreme actor in a talent-touched family, Jeff took his path of least resistance, and in turn some of film's most authentic characters live, and will live on.
Musician, Photographer
It seems merely calling Jeff Bridges an actor is inappropriate. His skills as an artist supersede the film world. His music, only recently receiving a spotlight, is as impressive as his photography skills which many still have no knowledge of.
He's played piano in films, he's belted out tunes during Oscar performances, and he's got his own band.
Jeff's even had his musical compositions in films, take his 1969 Soundtrack debut for example (John and Mary):
Many say he's the best WIDELUX photographer alive.
Family Man
One of Bridges major blessings is that he comes from a family that was tight knit even in the throws of success. Jeff has taken this foundation, and evolved it.
He's been with his wife since 1974.
Big brother Beau "taught him everything he knows."
Master Actor
It isn't hard to believe that Bridges has appeared on a screen over 75 times, as he has been acting literally his entire life. From The Last Picture Show to The Fisher King to The Big Lebowski to Crazy Heart, it seems whatever The Dude can play, we can enjoy.

Between 100-120 people took up the offer and stopped by to hear the Tribal chairman and others discuss the Salish and Kootenai Tribes' history, current operations and hopes for the future. Newsstand price: in s in J HQ ÑË É ft Chairman Ron Therriault, whose comments were amusing and acerbic by turns, opened the four-hour meeting by giving a summary of Tribal history. The first thing he explained was that there's realty no such thing as a "Flathead Indian", that the term is a misnomer invented by non-Indians (see the story elsewhere in this issue). Among the federal laws that have governed the Salish, Kootenai and Pend d'Oreille tribes since the white man's advent were the Dawes Act, which gave the Indians 25 years to become farmers, and the Homestead Act that quickly negated the intentions of the Dawes legislation, he said. Twenty-five years later, the Indian Reorganizaton Act "gave back our rights - but where had those rights been hiding for 50 years? And by the mid-30's [when the IRA became law], there were no more leaders or teachers here", he went on. Many hard lessons about government have been Year's last quarterly: Oct. 3 The last quarterly meeting of 1986 will be held on Friday, Oct. 3, beginning at 9 am. in the Council chambers in Pablo. The public is encouraged to attend and ask questions. learned by Tribal leaders since then, he said. "Now, we're coming of age... We're getting off our knees and taking responsibility for ourselves." In addition to the Flathead misnomer, he said he wanted to dispell the myth that the Tribes are trying to buy back the Reservation. Pointing to a color-coded map that outlined Tribal, state and private property - with the latter type dominating - he explained that only $5 million has been spent over the past 10 years on land acquisition. Of the property purchased, 85% was allotted land owned by individual Indians, "so it was off the tax base to begin with," he pointed out.

What to bring on your cruise stop
October 3, 2012
Last month, my husband and I went on a cruise to the Western Caribbean. It was so fun and relaxing and we love how everything on a cruise is taken care of from the food, entertainment, transportation, activities, service, and your room where you stay. If you are new time cruisers or are unsure what to bring on your cruise stops/excursions here are some pointers.
If you are stopping at different ports, I recommend bringing a backpack with essentials you will need during your day trips or excursions. A backpack, or some kind of satchel, can keep your items safe and together and it 'hides' potential valuables you might buy, money, wallets, or other items you don't want to keep out in the open.
In our backpack we brought:
- Towels – which our cruise ship provided us
- Cruise cards – Our identification that the cruise gave us to get on and off the ship so we didn't need to bring our passports
- Cash – we left our credit cards on the boat and just took cash we could potentially need
- Sunscreen
- Flip flops
- Camera
- Medicine if needed
- Map

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO)-- The Fruita Wildcats haven't been able to play in front of their home crowd in over two weeks. But when they hosted Central on Friday night, they made it count.
Entering the girls game, the Wildcats had won as many as they had lost in league play thus far. Meanwhile, the Central Warriors were trying to gain back ground toward the .500 mark. After the first half of play, the Warriors only trailed by a field goal. Fruita, however, wasn't going to disappoint their cheering fans. The Wildcats finished with a 10-point victory over the visiting Warriors, 43-33. The Wildcats and Warriors now sit 3rd and 5th in the Southwestern League, respectively.
The men's action was much more of a lopsided effort. The Warriors showed up to Friday's game without a win on the season yet, and the Wildcats kept it that way. Drew Bridges nailed down 17-points in the first half alone as Fruita improves its win streak within league play to 25. 60-33 was the final.

Watonwan 4-H Youth Leaders hosted a "Beat the Winter Blues" family night on Sunday, Feb. 17, in the First Presbyterian Church in St. James. The group was able to offer a free supper for about 150 guests because of the generous contributions from area businesses and money they earned washing TMT busses.
Katie Kluver brought the idea of organizing a family night to our youth leaders earlier this fall.
"What a great experience organizing this event for our community," said Kluver.
Alison Durheim agreed with her comment about what a great way to "build leadership skills.". The group received a lot of comments from the guests about the great, fun evening.
Besides serving supper, the group collected $69.00 and 44.6 percent of food for the local food shelf. Eight 4-H youth from the Performing Arts project entertained the group with piano music. A wild night of Bingo finished the evening.
Thank you to our sponsors; Armour Eckrich, Tony Downs Foods, Hagen Farms, Schmidt's Bakery, First Presbyterian Church, American Dairy Association, WFS, and Profinium.

Time to Clean House at LPD
Published: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 30, 2013 at 8:56 p.m.
The Lakeland City Commission looks like buffoons.
You have a police chief who admits to interfering with request for records, you have a sealed grand jury report and you have 10 police officers involved in a sex ring.
You had a road rage incident. You also have the bra-shaker officer.
How long is it going to take the City Commission and city manager to wake up and fire the police chief?
Calling for another investigation would be just more wasted money. It's time to clean house at the Police Department.
Someone, anyone, show some leadership and act. Stop dragging out the department's problems. Fix the problems and move forward.

Opening a complex DWG file (or DXF, it doesn't make a difference) takes a very long period of time. For example, 7MB file is opening for 5 minutes now, and I'm still waiting... qcad-bin consumes 100% cpu (one core) and no more than 5% memory. When the file is finally opened, I can work on it, but each time I try to make print preview, add another layer, etc. I have to wait a fair bit of time.
I hope this will change in the future...

Metabolic acidosis is a condition in which there is too much acid in the body fluids.
Acidosis - metabolic
Metabolic acidosis occurs when the body produces too much acid, or when the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body.
There are several types of metabolic acidosis:
Diabetic acidosis (also called diabetic ketoacidosis and DKA): Develops when acidic substances known as ketone bodies, build up in the body. This occurs with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes
Hyperchloremic acidosis: Results from excessive loss of sodium bicarbonate from the body. This can occur with severe diarrhea
Lactic acidosis: Results from a buildup of lactic acid. It can be caused by:
Other causes of metabolic acidosis include:
Most symptoms are caused by the underlying disease or condition that is causing the metabolic acidosis. Metabolic acidosis itself usually causes rapid breathing. Confusion or lethargy may also occur. Severe metabolic acidosis can lead to shock or death. In some situations, metabolic acidosis can be a mild, chronic (ongoing) condition.
Arterial blood gas analysis and a serum electrolytes test (such as a basic metabolic panel) will confirm acidosis is present and determine whether it is respiratory acidosis or metabolic acidosis.
Other test may be needed to determine the cause of the acidosis.
Treatment is aimed at the underlying condition. In some cases, sodium bicarbonate (the chemical in baking soda) may be given to reduce the acidity of the blood.
The outlook will depend on the underlying disease causing the condition.
Very severe metabolic acidosis can lead to shock or death.
Seek medical help if you have symptoms of any disease that can cause metabolic acidosis.
Diabetic ketoacidosis can be prevented by keeping type 1 diabetes under control.

"I'd like to thank Tony Mowbray and everyone at Middlesbrough for allowing Charlie to come here," Pools boss John Hughes told the club's official website.
"He's got a really good attitude to his training and he's been a pleasure to work with every single day he's been with us."
Wyke made 26 appearances during his six-month stay with the club, scoring two goals.

Good stuff man and hopefully we can get more people in it again next year. Certainly adds another fun element to what is undoubtebly the greatest league in the history of the world.
thanks, it was fun to run it this year, and hopefully we get some more people to play next year, I think I will get back into it so there is extra cash for next year.

ALAMEDA -- The fairy tale became more real for D.J. Hayden on Friday, although the Raiders' first-round draft pick out of Houston said he won't truly come down to earth until he takes the field.
Hayden arrived at the club facility in the morning, a day after being the No. 12 selection in the first round of the draft. He put on a Raiders cap, was introduced by general manager Reggie McKenzie and posed with cameras clicking and video rolling.
Then he went about the business of reassuring questioners that the torn inferior vena cava leading to his heart -- an injury with a 95 percent fatality rate -- was a thing of the past and that he was ready to accept the challenge of being the next great Raiders cornerback.
Doctors repaired the vein, but getting to that point required serious surgery.
"They had to saw through my sternum, and it was just a matter of time for it to heal," said Hayden, who suffered the injury during a practice. "Eventually it's going to heal, and it's healed."
Raiders coach Dennis Allen, in a radio interview on 95.7 The Game, said research into the injury left the club feeling that it was a freak occurrence.
"I liken it to getting struck by lightning three times," Allen said.
McKenzie said he would have taken Hayden at No. 3 had he not made a deal with Miami, which drafted Oregon outside linebacker Dion Jordan. It is an indication that big things are expected from Hayden -- and fast.
A player good enough to be considered at No. 3 is a difference-maker, an immediate starter. Charles Woodson, for example, was a No. 4, Deion Sanders a No. 5, Ronnie Lott a No. 8 and Rod Woodson a No. 10.
Allen said Watson can play right or left tackle, and director of player personnel Joey Clinkscales said guard is a possibility.
This offseason, the Raiders added three free-agent linebackers -- Nick Roach, Kevin Burnett, and Kaluka Maiava -- to go with second-year player Miles Burris, a 16-game starter.
