Denver is the road to the Rockies and the ultimate destination for anyone who loves adventure in the great outdoors. But there are some things you might not know about this Colorado city…
Founded in the Gold Rush when the first flakes of this precious metal were found in the South Platte River, Denver, has been attracting visitors ever since – but not just for the spectacular scenery and adventure offered by the majestic Rocky Mountains.
Denver is home to world-class museums, art galleries and theatres. It has a thriving street market and café culture - each neighbourhood has its own distinct vibe. From Cherry Creek, with its independent shops and brand-name stores, to the historic and hip LoDo with its vibrant nightlife, flourishing live music scene and comedy clubs.
Undeniably, the climate and scenery make Denver the ideal destination for those who love the outdoors. Denver is the gateway to the national parks, blue lakes, worldfamous golf courses and mountain resorts. It's a great fly-drive destination - you can even drive all the way to the top of Mount Evans or relax in the hot springs.
Icelandair flies from London via Iceland (with an hour's transit time) to Denver and is not just more refreshing, it's more affordable, too. You can add Reykjavik as a second city destination for no additional airfare and save £54 on air passenger duty.
We've teamed up with Icelandair to give readers the chance to win two return flights from London to Denver to visit this stonishing city.

The official name of this system will be the Ochoco Summit OHV system as it is located on the Ochoco NF near Big Summit Prairie. It may be a start in the area, but it is a pathetic start. The trails committee here is reviewing the scoping documents. We were also members of the forest service travel management working group who develop the initial plan, so we are comparing the proposed action to those initial ideas. As the proposed action stands right now, the Class II trails are predominately shared use roads. The trail heads and staging areas are a great deal of distance from town and there are no Class II trails connecting to the highway on the west side. We will have to travel about 10-15 miles on shared use roads to reach our "designated" shared use road "trails". Pathetic. The committee will post specific talking points next week.

A New Moral Code
By Dr. Jeff Schweitzer
At a moment when our earth is in crisis, Dr. Jeff Schweitzer, in his most recent book A New Moral Code, offers a novel approach to solving our most pressing problems, starting with personal responsibility and ending with social cooperation on a global scale. His book comes not a moment too soon as we struggle with increasingly dire social crises and an ailing planet.
Offering a new and exciting perspective on the purpose and meaning of life Dr. Schweitzer shares how we each have the power to create our own meaning, our own sense of purpose, and our own destiny. We are all free to pave our own road to a better life. Not only does Dr. Schweitzer make a compelling case for us to consider a new life course, he shows an easy trail to follow.
With clarity and a healthy dose of humor, Dr. Schweitzer describes a new world of personal responsibility and global cooperation in which we can take control of our lives, our environment and our personal and collective destinies.
Economic meltdown, an environment in crisis, and a growing threat of terrorism are the inevitable consequence of humanity's dark side winning out over the good. Dr. Schweitzer explains how we can rediscover our inherent good, and act accordingly, individually and collectively.
A New Moral Code will transform your view of self. How you interact with that image in the mirror, with your loved ones, and with your environment -- will never be the same. A New Moral Code will show you the way.

Beyond Cosmic Dice: Moral Life in a Random WorldBy Dr. Jeff Schweitzer and Giuseppe Notarbartolo-Di Sciar
In their intriguing book, Beyond Cosmic Dice, Jeff Schweitzer and Giuseppe Notarbartolo-Di Sciara offer a new perspective on the purpose and meaning of life.
The authors believe that each of us have the power to create our own meaning, sense of purpose and destiny in life. We all have the ability to choose, and choosing is what makes us special as individuals and as a species.
The authors consider and reject a traditional, often religious, view that life's meaning and purpose is controlled and manipulated by some unseen force. Instead, they urge the reader to consider his own biological destiny and use that to inform his destiny. Using this "natural" ethic we are able to pave our own road to a better life.
Once we realize that life is not "other" directed, but instead is guided by our individual and collective power to make choices and to be moral, we are free to make the best decisions for ourselves, our loved ones and the planet. There is tremendous freedom and joy in understanding that the purpose and meaning of life are self-derived. Discover your life purpose, read Beyond Cosmic Dice.

Vote To Save The Planet: your guide to the issues that matter
By Dr. Jeff Schweitzer
Originally written as a review of environmental issues, policies and politics through the lens of the 2008 election, Vote To Save The Planet, by Dr Jeff Schweitzer, is as applicable today as it was in 2008. Sadly, the same issues remain in play, and we can not be certain that our politicians are using the stewardship opportunity that we have given them to ensure that our children will have access to the basic resources, safe food, fresh water, and clean air, that we count on today.
Vote to Save the Planet is a succinct and handy guide to the environmental issues that matter most. Use it to talk about them and write about them as we approach our next election cycle. Get involved, demand attention and make a difference. And vote.
Make sure that your vote is informed. Read Vote to Save the Planet today. Publisher: Rvive Books. 2008. 89 pages
Healing the Heart of the World
Dawson Church Ph. D. (Editor)
Our individual actions can make a huge difference in the global picture in every way. That is the message according to the authors of a new book, Healing the Heart of the World.
Drawing on recent discoveries in science, psychology, economics, education and medicine, the authors show that there are many ways in which our daily acts can contribute to the wellbeing of the whole.
Combining the voices of so many experts from different disciplines, Healing the Heart of the Worldpoints towards the possibility of a profoundly hopeful future for humankind, as small individual acts of conscience and responsibility accumulate to produce huge shifts in communities.

Global Change of Planet Earth
>By OECD Staff
Dr. Schweitzer was instrumental in establishing the permanent Global Forum on Science and Technology (informally known as the Megascience Forum) at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to promote greater international scientific collaboration. The objective of the Forum is to create international partnerships to tackle problems too big for any one country to support alone.
There is no better example than climate change. This book is one of the earliest to articulate the problem and suggest cooperative programs to address this critical issue.

Thinking back I am very grateful for an incredible year. So many unique experiences... mostly stemming from my role at LineMetrics. Winning two highly prized awards in Berlin, exhibiting at Cebit in Hannover, making friends at the Berlin Residency Program of EIT ICT Labs... also other personal highlights like seeing my kids grow into remarkable human beings and competing in several sporting events all year around... just to name a few very positive experiences. But also growing by constantly challenging myself and testing my limits.
Please don't think that I am lying to myself. I am aware that there is much room for improvement. And hat is where exactly where 2015 comes into play. The three main areas in my life will be again LineMetrics, my family and myself. How I will approach family time is quite clear. "Me"-time will again focus on sports (revolving around constant training, a few triathlons and via ferrata mountain climbing). Most energy will again run into LineMetrics. Still in the middle of planning out 2015 but it really looks like finally taking LineMetrics to the next stage. Conquering more business fields, exploring new markets, and best of all taking management team itself to the next level.
We are aiming for pretty high targets on purpose. That forces us to break old mindsets and to think differently. Also we are currently implementing a ton new management processes. Still far from an ultra smooth experience but already seeing great improvements. Business wise 2015 will be a completely new challenge and I love every aspect of it. So much to learn yet so much impact we are on track to have. Really exciting times.
Please feel free to get in contact with me over at facebook or via email at email@example.com. I am looking forward to hear about your 2015 challenges.

Is this all there is?
I found level 8 but I feel like there should be something more to it. Maybe if I found all the motherly figures. Is there a way to know wish path leads to her?
Spoiler for level 8 : I don't know if it is necessary but I did all the alarms. At the end, I didn't take the big door. A message "Maybe there is a better way" appeared at the bottom. I jumped to the bottom and there was level 8.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Simply Amazing
While the gameplay may sometimes be too challenging and actually upsetting the mood, the story and dialogue was absolutely beautiful. If one opens themselves to the story, they realize the sadness of what life brings, the importance of family, and the dangers of depression. I only hope the typical ADHD newgrounder will be able to appreciate it.
The visuals providing an abstract representation of the narrative was only the icing on the cake.

Very Touching
I've lost a loved one to cancer, and as the story progressed I found it touched me a lot more deeply than I was expecting. Beautifully melancholy. I struck down a single point only because I had difficulty navigating some levels, not so much due to difficulty but because it was sometimes not completely clear where I needed to go. Still, consider it a testament to the story that I was willing to keep at it until I came to the end. You have moved me, sir.

UF Researchers Unveil Super Computer
GAINESVILLE, Fla.- The new computer clocks in at 150 trillion mathematical operations per second.
Based on free space at the Data Center in East Gainesville, the record winning computer has the potential to expand.
Research Computing Director at UF, Erik Deumens says the applications are endless with the arrival of the revolutionary High Performance Super computer at the university of florida.
"It'll allow researchers to really interact with data in a live way, they can go on skype and talk to their colleagues across the nation and they can both be looking at these huge data sets because the infrastructure is there."
Deumens says the HiPer Gator is a thousand times faster than the internet connection most people use.
HiPerGator is made up of more than 16 thousand processing cores.
More than 18 million dollars was spent between the HiPerGator and the Data Center that houses it.

In addition to "Case West" for Dead Rising 2, your beloved Frank West will also be playable in an iPhone version of Dead Rising. It's set to come out in time for the holidays and will take us back to the Willamette mall -- only, the story won't be exactly how we remember it.
The game will have some neat social networking integration, in that you can put out a distress call to your friends upon dying. What's more, you can even turn into a zombie and enter your friends' games, although you won't have direct control over your undead self, sadly.
I'll be interested to see how the time-centric nature of Dead Rising works on a handheld device. Usually when you play these games, you're doing so for a decent chunk of time, not in short bursts. Consider me intrigued, if nothing else.

While they say closed garden is the lending trend in internet, to me, the internet still feels like an ever expanding infinite loop, or maze.
Like a little kid, I really start out just to search for a shiny pebble, I end up going far and away and lost. I end up with a pocket full of things I am excited and confused about.
Finding css lint is like that. I was looking for some basic css truth, then along the way I read a dozen of other articles, css related or not.
Then I stumbled into css lint. So I copied and pasted from my reportoire of css files, linted it. Wow, it threw up a vocano of warnings at me.
Source: Screen Shot of CSS lint of my css
Interesting. I scanned through them.
"Values of 0 shouldn't have units specified"; "Broken box model: using height with padding"; "Rule is empty" ...
Make sense, I was thinking, almost delighted. Wow, this could be my css "spell-check".
Then I was confused by other rules. "Don't using adjoining classes", "Don't use IDs in selectors".
Really? What is wrong with using IDs in selectors?
A little search quickly led me to this highly provocative article CSS Lint is harmful, followed by fifty or so comments, mostly of them is
a bit spiteful in tone.
So What are the CSS lint rules?
Introducing CSS Lint
Among them, the most attacked is the rule of "Don't use IDs in selectors".
"To suggest that you never use ID's is simply throwing the baby out along with the dirty bath water. ID's are extremely useful and you absolutely should use them. They are the fastest way a browser can select a given element. They are useful for in-page anchoring and if they're already there in the markup then use them as style hooks. They are also, oddly enough, perfectly correct to use as long as they're only ever one instance of that ID on any given page."
Source: CSS Lint is harmful
On with my search. I found a lot of people have dismissed this rule. As it is with almost everything, never say never. Reasons are probably: 1) it has been a common practice; 2) ID by definition is mean to be unique, therefore there is no ground for re-usability concern. And, what is the difference using ID selectors and class selectors.
However, there are also as many people as passionately depending the rule. Using ID selectors lead to a downward spiral into specificity; IDs are meant to be specific, yet css rules by default are meant to be abstract rules.
So my search got me into a heated debate as with so many aspects of the web, jQuery vs. Ext Js, Flash vs. Html5. So I decided to end my aimless wondering in this maze by
ending the search, and take away home my rules:
1) css lint is not all evil or good, it is a good tool for you to get your css cleaner. Yes, always true are rules such as "no empty rules", "zero values need no units".
2) The "too many" rules are to your discretion. Only you should know whether there are too many fonts, too many floats. However, it is good to have a second opinion.
3) IDs in css selectors may not be too bad, at least probably not worth your effort of going back and rewriting your pass css rules. However, when you start a new project, when you
find yourself define a set of rules just for one unique ID, think again.

In Reply to: RE: Equal loudness curves derived from Fletcher and Munson (1933) posted by fmak on March 06, 2012 at 05:43:25
I've been listening to some 25 Hz sine waves lately and hearing them. :-) And a lot of other tones in the range up to 200 Hz as well. And crawling around on the floor groping and twiddling knobs...
I've been also been listening to some 30 kHz sine waves, but not hearing them, as expected. Not really hearing anything above 14 kHz these days, 50 years ago it was up to 21 kHz. :-(
Also, using gain settings common for large scale orchestral music I've been listening to some 440 Hz sine waves at low level (-97 dBfs) and hearing them. These were audible in both 16 and 24 bit formats, but dither was required with the 16 bit format to hear the tones. I have too much noise in the room to hear quieter tones unless I turn the gain up to unreasonably loud levels (louder than row A concert levels).

Good for you, but sine waves are annoying to listen to, as opposed to music, which should be pleasant.
You will find, for example, that community noise criteria are not based on Fletcher Munson but on Leq.
I find sine waves pleasant and musical. I used to listen to Morse code at around 800Hz and it was beautiful!
You want annoying? Try listening to square waves in the audible range, or even just beyond the audible range where you sense it but don't really hear it. I use loud ultrasonic square waves to ward off pests and barking dogs.
Ah, so you listen with pleasure to function gnerators. I suggest an HP for your next purchase.

Compiled by Carol Bodensteiner and Mary Gottschalk
In the summer of 1932, the Great Depression gripped the world. But in Stone City — just four miles north of Anamosa — Grant Wood joined with others to found the Stone City Art Colony to encourage regional artists. Though the Colony only operated for two summers, the roots of appreciation of regional art remain firmly planted.
"Anamosa is an artistic and creative community that cherishes art," says Michelle Phillips, co-chair of the Grant Wood Art Festival. Celebrating its 40th year, the Festival remains true to Wood's vision, providing a showcase for regional artists and many young and old local artists.
When the festival opens in Anamosa on June 10, visitors can see some of the original works created in the Art Colony 80 years ago — on loan from descendants of the original students.
In addition, professional artists working today will participate in a juried art show, and student artists will display their works.
Children can re-create Grant Wood's Lilies of the Alley art using pots, bottle caps, buttons, and other found objects and participate in many other arts and crafts.
Authors Trip Evans and John Duggleby will speak about their books on Grant Wood's life.

Rachel Bilson
She's getting ready to start filming her new movie "Waiting For Forever" in Salt Lake City, but Rachel Bilson first stopped off in southern Florida to take care of a little business.
The former "OC" starlet stepped out on Sunday afternoon (September 28), as she launched her new Edie Rose for DKNY Jeans collection at Macy's Aventura.
Sporting a black derby hat with oversized shades, Rachel Bilson was spotted as she prepared for departure at Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday (September 27).
The former "OC" starlet smiled as she made her way past security, offering up an especially big grin as an airport employee gave a good look at her driver's license before letting her pass through.
She always has something going on, and earlier today Rachel Bilson was spotted leaving her Los Angeles home, on her way to a nearby studio.
And as usual, the "Last Kiss" cutie was dressed to kill, sporting a frilly white shirt along with a flaired-out black skirt and a pair of matching peep-toe heels.
Celebrating her brand movie new role, Rachel Bilson ventured out for an afternoon on the town on Wednesday (September 24).
To kick things off, the former "OC" starlet grabbed a bite to eat for lunch at Madeo's in West Hollywood, then moving along with her gal pal for a spot of shoe shopping at Barney's New York in Beverly Hills.
On what was a sunny Saturday afternoon (September 20), Rachel Bilson played the part of maid of honor in OC creater Josh Schwartz's wedding on a striking ranch in Santa Barbara, California.
Rachel was the one who played matchmaker with Mr. Schwartz and good friend Jill Stonerick - setting the two up for what turned into a match made in heaven.
Looking her usual cute self in a winter cap with tank top, jeans and a Chanel handbag, Rachel Bilson was spotted out and about Toluca Lake, California on Tuesday morning (September 16).
The former "OC" starlet stepped out of her Lexus Hybrid SUV, clutching some paperwork as she headed up to pay a visit to her parents' house.
It's a pretty common thing these days for night clubs to hire celebrities to host parties. And last night (September 5), Rachel Bilson was all about looking hot at The Bank club in the Bellagio Resort Hotel and Casino.
The "Last Kiss" cutie played hostess for the Ultimate Bachelorette Party, and she was turning heads in a sleeveless pink, orange, and black minidress with black high heels.
Keeping things casual in a long sleeved blue top with grey short-shorts and white strappy sandals, Rachel Bilson was spotted heading to the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California on Friday morning (September 5).
For her weekend trip out of town, the former "OC starlet was accompanied by a female friend, along with her trusty canine companion, Thurmen Murmen.
Earlier this week she was out visiting her grandmother with her little sister and Thurmen Murmen, but yesterday (August 12) Rachel Bilson was all by her lonesome.
The "Last Kiss" cutie grabbed lunch at the Alcove Café (known for its mix of California and European styles) in Los Feliz, California.
Enjoying the beautiful Sunday sunshine, Rachel Bilson was spotted hanging with her little sister Hattie and pet pooch Thurmen Murmen yesterday (August 10).
The two Bilson babes were reportedly on their way to visit their grandmother in Studio City, California when the paparazzi caught up with them.

On Saturday morning at 4:00 a.m., a single engine Piper plane crashed into McMullen Booth Road north of Union Street. It killed the pilot, 53-year-old Jeffrey Bronken, and sent two teenage girl passengers to St. Joseph's Hospital in serious condition.

Bronken, his 15-year-old daughter Katherine Bronken, and her friend, 15-year-old Keyana Linbo, were flying to the St. Petersburg Clearwater International Airport for a spring break vacation. They flew out of Chicago at 6:30 p.m. Friday night. The Bronkens and Linbo live in Round Lake, Illinois, which is just outside of Chicago.
Their neighbor, Ken Hoxie, is worried about Sue Bronken, Katherine's mother.
"It's tragic," said Hoxie. 'What she is going through is unbelievable. I know she was in a state of shock, but she was doing the best she could to go down and see her daughter."
Hoxie also said losing the father, Jeffrey Bronken, is the second tragedy for the Bronken family. In 2009, the oldest daughter, Christy, was killed in a snow mobile accident.
"Our prayers all go out to their family," said Hoxie. "They are a fantastic family and we are going to do as much as we can to help them."
10 News checked the conditions of the girls on Sunday morning. Linbo is in fair condition and Bronken is in critical condition. Sue Bronken has asked for privacy for both girls.

PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION and/or APPLIED ETHICS
Examination Board: OCR - Specification code: Full Course J621 - Short Course J121
Belief, of whatever kind, is something that affects the way people live and behave, and therefore is a vitally important area of study. At Stover we believe that there is more to being educated that simply the acquisition of knowledge and skill. We believe that part of the task of education is to help young people 'to become fully human'. As part of our desire to work towards this end, the Religious Studies Department offer the choice of the following courses:
Religious Studies short course in Applied Ethics
This course helps pupils investigate and respond to many of the fundamental questions raised by religion and human experience:
Religious Studies full course in Philosophy and Applied Ethics
In addition to studying the above ethical issues, pupils wishing to complete a full GCSE course in Religious Studies have the opportunity to investigate and respond to some of the fundamental questions about the meaning and purpose of life, studying the following:
Assessment: Short Course – two one hour written examinations.
Full Course – four one hour written examinations.
Value: RS is a valuable preparation for adult life and for any career which requires critical and independent thinking. It engenders an awareness of the diversity of belief and an appreciation of alternative viewpoints. It is one of the Humanities fully recognised by Further and Higher Education. It has links to English, History, Law, Politics, Psychology, Medicine and Anthropology.

grass seed
I live in northern NJ (Denville, Morris County) and want to plant grass seed in yard where there was previously tress & brush. I recently cleared the trees, stumps, brush & debris and plan to throw grass seed to germinate grass. I plan to drop a top (2") layer of top soil prior to seeding.
I do plan to rake, drop the seed, then re-rake the soil to ensure seed is covered by moist soil. The area is a southern and western exposure with good morning and early afternoon sun surrounded by wooded areas so it is not field or plain like setting.
When/ what temp is the best time to drop soil & seed?
What type (mixture) of seed should I use?
Any advice is highly appreciated.
Use a mix like some bluegrass and some rye. You can plant it now. Cover with only 1/2" or less top soil at the end. Fertilized two days prior to seeding. Add lime around end of May.
Don't forget to mulch! No need to cover with soil, just make sure you get good seed-to-soil contact.

Poaching is a great way to deal with out-of-season or underripe fruits that are too hard or haven't developed enough natural sugar to be tasty on their own. The fruit is poached in water, wine, fruit juice, spirits such as whiskey or rum, or some combination of these, almost always sweetened with sugar. (The sugar is necessary even when poaching ripe, sweet fruits, because without it, the poaching liquid will pull out the fruits' natural sugars.) The liquid can also be flavored with spices such as cinnamon, cloves, or vanilla. After poaching, the cooking liquid is often reduced so that the flavor of the fruit is concentrated in it, and then it is served along with the fruit.
A delicious way to poach all kinds of fruit is to cook the fruit in water sweetened with sugar, reduce and cool the syrup, and then flavor it with an appropriate fruit brandy or other alcohol that underlines the taste of the fruit. Pears are often poached in sweetened red wine that is then reduced, cooled, and served as a sauce for the pears.
For pears only: (for 6 pears) 2 bottles red wine to 1 cup sugar. Flavor with 1 vanilla bean, split, and 2 cinnamon sticks (optional).
For all fruits: 2 cups water to 1/2 cup sugar.

Marathon Petroleum is buying back stock again. The company announced a $2 billion repurchase authorization Wednesday. The shares will be bought back over a two year period. A previous repurchase authorization still has $709 million to go before it's completed.
In a release, CEO Gary Heminger said, "This authorization, along with the increased dividend announced earlier today, demonstrates our ongoing commitment to returning capital to shareholders." Heminger added this is the fourth repurchase agreement made by Marathon since becoming a stand-alone company in 2011.

I started the original Prog Rock Dock site with a review of Enchant's…well…enchanting CD entitled "Juggling Nine or Dropping Ten". I have to say that though this band is not as popular as prog bands such as Yes, Genesis or Dream Theater, they certainly have a genuine sense of their own music and also a definite way of pleasing their fan base.
Blink Of An Eye is not a disappointment. I feel that it actually has a "oh wait, did I tell you this?" feeling about it. A CD that actually may have been interesting as a companion piece to Juggling Nine, although that experience may have been overwhelming. A lot of the themes that present themselves in Juggling Nine seem to be here as well. The first track, a knockout entitled "Under Fire", once again tackles the death theme that Enchant seems to deal with very effectively. This time from the point of view of someone who is put in the position of taking someone's life. It is a gripping song that pounds along passionately. Ted Leonard's vocals on the second wave after the chorus is one of the most emotional and compelling expressions of anguish that you're likely to feel come out of a song. Doug Ott's guitar work is magnificent on this track, clean and brutal at times. Strangely enough, there is a song by Hoobastank called "Runaway" that sounds like they heard a good dose of Enchant and decided to copy the style. Sadly enough Runaway (though a good song) gets tons of airplay, while Under Fire may never see the laser of many a DJs CD player.
The CD has a nice balance of songs, although I didn't quite like the placement of the song Monday as the second track (perhaps just my own weird sense of the pace of a CD) and also the two slower paced songs being next to each other Follow The Sun/Ultimate Gift. Follow The Sun is a gem. It has such a pleasant feel. I can't really describe it. Though the theme of driving along with someone you love does give you a sense of it. The song leaves you with a glow. Ultimate Gift is just a decent song and is probably my least favorite on the CD. It is very ordinary but likely has growth potential. It may have been better to leave it for another CD and include Prognosis as the official closer of the CD.
This song is an instrumental and is actually a bonus track. But ahhhhh, what a BONUS!!! Seriously, this is probably one of the best prog-metal instrumentals out there. An anthem, if you will. I can say no more about this song except, make sure you get a copy of this CD with this song on it. Turn up the volume and let it rip.
Overall, this CD has everything that an Enchant fan would expect. It grows on you, moves you and will make an impression on you. I have only listened twice and so I will hold on to further comment until I have discovered all that there is to comment on. Perhaps I will do a song-by-song column on it. In the meantime, rest easy fellow fans. Enchant has once again done well.

The HTC M7 smartphone will come with a revolutionary new kind of 'Ultrapixel' camera technology, according to the latest reports.
HTC's new flagship phone will apparently come with a unique type of image sensor that will boost image quality significantly.
While the rumours up to now have suggested a 13-megapixel camera for the HTC M7, it might not be quite that simple. The new Ultrapixel sensor is reportedly composed of three 4.3-megapixel sensor layers, which combine to give a single image.
So whilst three lots of 4.3 do indeed add up to 13, the HTC M7's camera won't output images at that size.
The purpose of this technology is to create crisper images. Using three lots of data to represent a single final pixel should make for a far more accurate final result.
If this reminds you of a certain other cameraphone powerhouse, that's because the principle is similar to that employed in the Nokia 808 PureView - although that device doesn't have quite the same unconventional multi-layered structure.
It's a technique that's perhaps closer to that employed by Sigma in its Foveon X3 sensor, which we've explained previously in our digital camera tutorial.
The HTC M7 is rumoured to be a highly capable phone in other areas too, with a 4.7-inch Full HD display and a 1.7GHz quad-core processor.
None of this is known for sure, but we do at least know that the HTC M7 exists - HTC CEO Peter Chou recently appeared at the company's end-of-year party wielding the device and proceeded to take a bunch of pictures of the audience. Evidently there's some impressive camera tech hidden in there.

Driver In Crash That Killed Bicyclist Identified
The Douglas County Sheriff's Department says the driver of a car that crossed the center line and struck 56 year old Jim Johnston on Thursday afternoon near 260th and West Center Road is 82 year old Ruth Jeffers of La Vista.
Investigators say Johnston was riding westbound on the shoulder when Jeffers eastbound Ford Taurus crossed the center line and struck him. Johnston died at the hospital.

The accident investigation has not been completed and charges will be decided through the Douglas County Attorney some time next week.

oh these faucet instructions!
I have searched to find the answer to this question but cannot find it -- I have a new kitch faucet there is a shorter and longer water inlet copper pipe leading into the faucet housing --- nowhere does it say which is hot water -- I'm guessing the longer but why attach and then re-do if I'm wrong?
someone of you folks surely knows this easy answer....
instructions arghh !!! :furious:
thanks :)
gotta be a standard thing I would think for any manufacturer ... ??:huh:
thanks-- went back to the original store they had a similar faucet same maker and that one had stickers on the hot cold pipes long is HOT -- Im' guessing this is standard way to distinguish on a single barrel faucet design....
I had a single valve once that I installed with that assumption, but there must have been something funky in the guts, because they were actually backwards.
No-name faucet however, so who knows what they were thinking.
Probably something along the lines of : $$$$$$$$
yes I was wondering that because after the pipes go into the barrel the could have twisted around- someone told me generally if you look at the faucet as it will be sitting then the left pipe would be hot in this case the pipes were front to back from each other when looking at the front of the faucet ... so maybe nothing is standard but it makes sense to put a sticker on there! this was a Hampton Bay from you know where

text: May 14, 2015 - I so wanted to hate this, as I am already hooked on the Gold Lust conditioner and it's soooooo expensive. I rationalize this is worth its price because it's gel + glosser but unlike either of those, this provides gorgeous body. This provides soft hold-not hard hold-so my curls are perfectly defined without crunch. And of course, it has that awesome Oribe scent. I will never be without this.

"I used a close up photos of my 2 boys and added "with sweet wishes" instead of the family name & had it come from both of them. Grandparents loved it & it's not frilly so worked for well for boys. Colors are great. I'm saving some for the archives. :-)"
"The matte finish is like cardboard...Maybe glossy is more photo like. I ordered matte. The printing quality was good. This card is great, because you can put many pictures on it!"
"My family keeps raving about how cute this Valentine card turned out. I chose the tan/red combo since it was a little more masculine and complimented the colors in the photo that I used."
"This Valentine's Day card was the perfect card to use for a pregnancy announcement! The quality of the card stock was 10x better than other purchases I've made from other retailers. The colors were also vibrant!"
"I used it as a Valentines Day catd with a picture of my family and I. I got so many compliments from friends and family."

Man found with drugs while out on bond
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio -- A Columbus man, out on bond for drug charges, was indicted again for drug possession. Terrance M. Collins, 35, allegedly threw a plastic bag containing 0.37 grams of cocaine out of an upstairs window during a May 9th search at 354 East Second Street.
His previous indictment was in December 2013.
That was one of 16 indictments returned by the Ross County Grand Jury, Friday.
The Grand Jury also indicted a Chillicothe woman who police say had stolen credit cards in her underwear. During a June traffic stop, Karly A. Scott, 21, told police the credit cards, which had been cut up, had been given to her by Jessica J. Pfeifer, 26, of Chillicothe, to throw away.
Scott faces a charge of receiving stolen property.
In a separate indictment, Pfeifer was charged with aggravated possession of drugs. Police say she was using a Xanax pill bottle to store Oxycodone. The bottle was found during a search of 151 East Fairview Street in May.
In the last of the open indictments, a Clarksburg man was charged for having meth-making materials around two children. Authorities say they found common ingredients for making methamphetamines in the North Street home of William M. Brown, 36.
Jamie A. Miller, 32, of Clarksburg was also indicted for complicity. Miller told deputies he drove Brown around Chillicothe to pick up the items.
Brown's 15-year-old son and Miller's 8-year-old daughter were inside the home at the time of the raid.

Perhaps the most interesting of Epson's in development technologies is its Inkjet Printed Circuit Board technology; one that could do a great deal in revolutionising circuit board manufacturing – especially in portable devices.
Printed Circuit Boards, or PCBs, form the basis for most electronic devices and are made using a process called Photolithography. PCBs made using photolithographic processes are known to be very rugged, but making very thin multi-layer circuit boards is only affordable in high volume due to prohibitive the cost, complexity and wastefulness of the process.
Epson hope to change this with their Inkjet PCBs, which they claim is a far cleaner, cheaper and more efficient way of producing circuit boards for portable devices.
The process uses a combination of different inks, with a conductive silver ink used to form the circuitry and an insular ink used to create the layers. On this occasion Hisashi Aruga unveiled an example of how Epson has reduced the size of a radio clock chip by using its Inkjet PCB techniques.
It's not the first time Epson has showcased this technology. It announced in 2004 that it had created ultra-thin 20-layer board using this technology and it has since continued to develop the process.
Portable devices stand the most to gain from this process, with it providing a number of potential options in organising circuitry in a more ergonomic way. Epson showed how it could print onto flexible film, and that it would also be possible to print circuitry directly onto plastic casings; further reducing the size and space needed for PCBs in portable devices.
If successful, this should make manufacturing portable devices easier while also providing far more flexibility in design – whether it is making devices even smaller or adding more features without upsetting the form factor and aesthetics of a device.
We're certainly intrigued by these possibilities, and if it reaches mass production it could be of great benefit to both manufacturers and consumers.

Buy a PS3, it's a great blu-ray player plus you can play some games if you want, do pictures, etc.

Buy a PS3, it's a great blu-ray player plus you can play some games if you want, do pictures, etc.
darn you people stop saying buy a PS3! Its on my list of "things to get this year." As money is tight though its only going to be 1 of 3 choices: 360, another gun, or the PS3. I'm leaning towards the PS3 vs the 360 only because of what I want to use it for and the added benefit of the blu-ray player (which i probably won't use much of)
I go there for all cable purchases.
The worst thing is...I SO did not need to buy a new TV right now. Trying to pay off a honeymoon, a wedding, etc. Wanted a TV but was gonna wait til at least fall It sucks but thats where I am . I will be checking out monoprice when the site goes back up.
Meritline has a 3 pack of 6ft hdmi cables for $7 shipped. I have had good luck w/ HDMI cables at yesbuy.net. HDMI is a digital signal, It either works or doesn't. The high priced analog cable is better shielded, thicker, and have better conductors (gold ends etc.) which better transmit the analog signal. You need high priced analog cables (composite, component, s video, audio) esp. for long runs.
Owns Monster Cable!!!!! No kidding!!
Like father...UNlike son!!!!
ALL my HDMI and computer cables have come from monoprice.com --
NOTHING comes close to the quality and price!!
Visit AVSforum for more rave reviews....:smile:
If you want a PS3 then settle with DVD until you get the scratch for the PS3 is makes less then no sense to buy a blu ray player now and a PS3 later.
For the HDMI cables... High end ones are nice but not nessesary for the average movie guy. Low end cables are not a good idea also due to the cable connection ends. Unlike coax or RCA which have threads or housing pins to keep it in place the HDMI is a flat cable that rely on pressure from the pins and the fit of the metal housing to keep it in place. Mid-range and high end cables will have good connectors that will keep the cable secure. Low end cables will usually have soft aluminum contact wires that may have a tendency to slip out if you move your TV or accessory you have plugged in. Eventually the pins get too weak to sustain a good signal.
I'm not an expert but I know enough to buy and setup most entertainment equipment.
This has been really helpful guys. Most times i am up on techno stuff, but HDTV was out side my wheel house. Keep any ideas you have flowing.
Amazon.com has some really great prices on all types of home theater equipment. The dirty little secret on HDMI is that shielding is not nearly as important as it is for analogue type cables. For the most part (generalizing) with digital you are either getting the signal or you are not (quality is based on 0's and 1's not on waves i.e. artifacting is caused by short losses of data as opposed to snow caused by interferences in the wave length). As long as you have some basic shielding and good continuous conductivity you will be good to go . As others have said the monoprice cables are good cheap quality cables. If you are only using a 6ft or less cable you will be safe with the even cheaper cables you can find on amazon.
I got my HDMI cable from a manufacturer in Indiana. "Cables to go" or something like that. A 25' cable for $48. (My receiver and player are not by the set.)
As far as Monster cable......forget it. it is all hype. For speaker cable, go to Home Depot (or Lowes) and get the 100' coil of 12 ga. copper twin lead designed for low voltage lighting systems. 100' won't seem like that much when your cables go all over the room. I bundled my rear cables in a product called "snakeskin" that I got in white and when it is next to the baseboard, it just disappears. (Snakeskin is used in the electronics industry, it looks like those Chinese finger handcuffs you used to play with. It expands and contracts lengthwise.) Don't forget to label all the cables, you'll have a bunch. Keep the phase consistent.
I did my own component surround system and I'm not a fan of the "package" systems, but I like movies to feel like the theater.
I suppose it's not so much of a loss of freedom, but I object to the excessive restrictions of the Blu-Ray DRM (more restrictive than CSS).
The coax to me seems easier to connect, maintain, and locate appropriate cables. I have used both, and noted no difference in quality (and honestly, no real improvement over quality analog cables). Some people can tell the difference, I'm not one of them.
It's kind of like buying a sub MOA rifle when you can't group under 6' at 100 yards.
I don't doubt it, digital signals are quite a bit more stable than the analog stuff I'm used to. However, the theory still stands: greater cable length increases the likelihood of interference. I'm sure any 100' length of cable will adequately transmit signal from the player to the display. I wouldn't however splice together 3 3' cheapo cables in a server room directly underneath a HAM radio antenna.Quote:

Hottest Irish band on the planet to thaw LSSU and Sault Ste. Marie
Posted: February 16th, 2014
Editor's note: Lunasa is pronounced LOON-uh-suh.
Listen to Prof. Lori Oliver talk to Sault Ste. Marie Eagle Radio's Paul VanWagoner about the coming concert.
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. – A quintet that has been called "the hottest Irish acoustic group on the planet" will provide some warmth to the Eastern Upper Peninsula and Northern Ontario during a performance at Lake Superior State University's Arts Center.
Lunasa, one of the most sought-after bands on the international Celtic music scene, will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 20. Tickets are $18 for the general public, $15 for seniors and $8 for students, and available from the Norris Center box office, 906-635-2602, or online.
Lúnasa released its debut CD in 1997 and the band's inventive arrangements and bass-driven grooves steered Irish acoustic music into surprising new territory. On its first American visit, word-of-mouth led to sold-out shows and rave reviews.
The band is internationally acknowledged for its talent and its constant touring. It has performed more than 1,500 shows around the world in internationally renowned places such as The Hollywood Bowl, National Concert Hall, Dublin, and the Sydney Opera House, and has recorded with the RTE Concert Orchestra, Ireland's national concert orchestra. In 2011, the band was invited to appear at the White House.
A print-resolution copy of this photo is available here.
The band's eight CDs have been hailed as some of the best and most important world music albums anywhere, while the blend of innovation, virtuosity, and passion has brought them to the forefront of Celtic music.
Lunasa has numerous accolades, including:
--Performers of the Decade, from Live Ireland's Music Awards, 2010, which also named member Kevin Crawford (flutes, whistles) as 2013 Male Musician of the Year.
--Top 10 Traditional Albums of 2010, by Irish Echo (USA) for its CD, "LaNua"
--Best Traditional Album in 2005, by Irish Music Magazine (Ireland) for its CD, "The Kinnitty Sessions"
--Band member Sean Smith is an All-Ireland Fiddle and Whistle Champion. His album, "The Blue Fiddle," was named one of the year's 10 best albums in 1993 by the Irish Echo.
More information about the band is available at its website. Lunasa's performance at LSSU is being sponsored by the Duncan MacLaren Family Fund, the LSSU Cultural Affairs Fund, and Encore Financial Group. -LSSU-

Hello Dear Friends,
I need your expert advice on this..
I am planning to buy a BMW 535i, i have shortlisted two cars finally.
1. 2008 BMW 535i single owner fully loaded, 35K miles and the price is $31,998, the options/packages are attached with a screenshot here.
2. 2009 BMW 535i single owner almost fully loaded 45K miles and the price is $32,998, the options/packages are attached with a screenshot here. Note- This car was used as a fleet.
Price is not a constraint. I love all the options on the 2008 BMW 535i but it does not have the Park distance control, please suggest does it really matters or if i can do it after market.
I really need to decide this and need all your expert advice after you see the options/packages and considering the miles.

I recently spotted this beautiful image on the Bleubird blog and fell instantly in love with that Bobo Choses tapestry rug hanging on the wall. I love the colours and the texture that the tapestry brings to the wall, and love the idea of hanging it behind a baby's cot. In fact, I ordered one for our new babe… and think I might swipe the idea and do the same thing. (I'm already dreaming up the baby's bed/nursery!)
The rugs are on sale now… so if you're tempted by these beauties, scoop them up quickly.
What a lovely idea. Hope you and the baby are in good health.
Yes, you're right – these rugs would look great displayed on a child's bedroom wall. Do you know the dimensions? I can't seem to find any on the web link. Thanks! PS. Which one did you buy?
I am sure it is going to be a beautiful nursery! Ex
Love it – can't wait to see the new nursery Courtney!
I spotted this post on facebook. Gorgeous. I'm off to look at them some more.
Hi Courtney!
Me too, have fallen for these tapestry rugs and would like to use one on the wall of my boy's bedroom. However, the site is quoting €33 delivery to Europe. Could you tell me how much you've paid in shipping costs to the UK? Thanks ever so much!

Under federal regulations, there
are three possible IRB review categories:
The IRB
Program Coordinator, IRB Chair, or the convened IRB, acting in accordance with federal
regulations, not the investigator, determines if an application meets the
criteria for each approval category.
The IRB does
not review research enrolling prisoners, therefore the three research categories
do not apply to prisoners.
Exempt Review
IRB uses the following criteria for reviewing and granting research under the
exempt category (as stated in 45 CFR 46.101(b) and 21 CFR 56.104):
that meets the criteria for exemption may be referred for further review or
disqualified from exempt status if the IRB Chair determines at the time of
initial review that the research does not uphold SFHMC ethical standards and/or
there are concerns or issues with the protocol not related to the regulatory
requirements. Such protocols will
be reviewed by expedited or full board review, as determined by the IRB
Chair. If there is a question about
the potential for harm of participants in research exempt from federal
regulations, that research will not be granted exempt status, and will be
reviewed, approved and monitored by the IRB in a manner appropriate to ensure
the safety of the participants.
Expedited Review
The IRB uses
the following criteria for reviewing and approving research by the expedited
review category (as stated in 45 CFR 46.110 and 21 CFR 56.110):
(A) Research activities that
(B) The categories in this
list apply regardless of the age of subjects, except as noted.
(C) The expedited review
procedure may not be used where identification of the subjects and/or their
responses would reasonably place them at risk of criminal or civil liability or
be damaging to the subjects' financial standing, employability, insurability,
reputation, or be stigmatizing, unless reasonable and appropriate protections
will be implemented so that risks related to invasion of privacy and breach of
confidentiality are no greater than minimal.
(D) The expedited review
procedure may not be used for classified research involving human subjects.
(E) IRBs are reminded that
the standard requirements for informed consent (or its waiver, alteration, or
exception) apply regardless of the type of review-expedited or convened-utilized
by the IRB.
(F) Categories one (1)
through seven (7) pertain to both initial and continuing IRB review.
Clinical studies of drugs and
medical devices only when condition (a) or (b) is met.
Research on drugs for which an investigational new drug
application (21 CFR 312) is not required.
(Note: Research on marketed
drugs that significantly increases the risks or decreases the acceptability of
the risks associated with the use of the product is not eligible for expedited
(b) Research on medical devices for which
(i) an investigational device exemption application (21 CFR 812) is not
required; or (ii) the medical device is cleared/approved for marketing and the
medical device is being used in accordance with its cleared/approved
Collection of blood samples by finger
stick, heel stick, ear stick, or venipuncture as follows: (a)
from healthy, nonpregnant adults who
weigh at least 110 pounds. For these subjects, the amounts drawn may not
exceed 550 ml in an 8 week period and collection may not occur more frequently
than 2 times per week; or(b) from other adults and
children*, considering the age, weight,
and health of the subjects, the collection procedure, the amount of blood to
be collected, and the frequency with which it will be collected. For
these subjects, the amount drawn may not exceed the lesser of 50 ml or 3 ml
per kg in an 8 week period, and collection
may not occur more frequently than 2 times per week.
Prospective collection of
biological specimens for research purposes by noninvasive means.
hair and nail clippings in a nondisfiguring manner;
(b) deciduous teeth at time of
exfoliation or if routine patient care indicates a need for extraction;
permanent teeth if routine patient care indicates a need for extraction; excreta and external secretions (including
(d) gum base or wax or by
applying a dilute citric solution to the tongue;
placenta removed at delivery;
(f) the time of rupture of the membrane prior
to or during labor;
supra- and subgingival dental plaque and calculus, provided the
collection procedure is not more invasive than routine prophylactic scaling of
the teeth and the process is accomplished in accordance with accepted
prophylactic techniques;
mucosal and skin cells collected by buccal scraping or swab, skin
swab, or mouth washings;
(i) sputum collected after
saline mist nebulization
Collection of data through
noninvasive procedures (not involving general anesthesia or sedation) routinely
employed in clinical practice, excluding procedures involving x-rays or
microwaves. Where medical devices
are employed, they must be cleared/approved for marketing. (Studies intended to evaluate the safety
and effectiveness of the medical device are not generally eligible for expedited
review, including studies of cleared medical devices for new indications.)
physical sensors that are applied either to the surface of the
body or at a distance and do not involve input of significant amounts of energy
into the subject or an invasion of the subject's privacy;
(b) weighing or testing sensory
magnetic resonance imaging;
(d) electrocardiography,
electroencephalography, thermography, detection of naturally occurring
radioactivity, electroretinography, ultrasound, diagnostic infrared imaging,
doppler blood flow, and echocardiography;uncannulated saliva collected in an
unstimulated fashion or stimulated by chewing moderate exercise, muscular
strength testing, body composition assessment, and flexibility testing where
appropriate given the age, weight, and health of the individual.
Research involving materials (data,
documents, records, or specimens) that have been collected or will be collected
solely for nonresearch purposes (such as medical treatment or diagnosis). (NOTE: Some research in this category may be
exempt from the DHHS regulations for the protection of human subjects [45 CFR
46.101(b)(4)]. This listing refers only to research that is not
Collection of data from voice, video,
digital, or image recordings made for research purposes.
Research on individual or group
characteristics or behavior (including, but not limited to, research on
perception, cognition, motivation, identity, language, communication, cultural
beliefs or practices, and social behavior) or research employing survey,
interview, oral history, focus group, program evaluation, human factors
evaluation, or quality assurance methodologies. (NOTE: Some research in this category may be exempt from the DHHS regulations
for the protection of human subjects [45 CFR 46.101(b)(2) and (b)(3)].
This listing refers only to research that is not exempt.)
Continuing review
of research previously approved by the convened IRB as follows:
where (i) the research is permanently closed to the enrollment of
new subjects; (ii) all subjects have completed all research-related
interventions; and (iii) the research remains active only for long-term
follow-up of subjects; or
(b) where no subjects have been
enrolled and no additional risks have been identified; or
where the remaining research activities are limited to data
Continuing review of research, not
conducted under an investigational new drug application or investigational
device exemption where categories 2 through 8 above do not apply, but the IRB
has determined and documented at a convened meeting that the research involves
no greater than minimal risk and no additional risks have been
Minor changes in previously approved
categories added to this list by DHHS and published in the Federal Register
The Chairman
of the IRB reviews protocols qualifying for expedited approval. If the Chairman is unavailable to review
a protocol qualifying for expedited and exempt approval, a qualified member of
the IRB with expertise in the area of the study will be designated by the
Chairman of the IRB as a primary reviewer.
Studies involving vulnerable populations, such as children, that are
eligible for expedited or exempt approval will be reviewed by the Chairman of
the IRB. If there is a question
whether one of these protocols poses a greater than minimal risk, the study will
be reviewed by a consultant with expertise in that area. If there is a question
whether additional state or local laws are applicable to the protocol,
the IRB Chairman or qualified member of the IRB may ask Legal Services for
assistance in interpreting and applying appropriate laws.
Full Board Review
All research
protocols that do not meet the criteria for exempt or expedited review approval
will be reviewed by the full board at a convened IRB meeting. All decisions are rendered by a quorum
(majority of the assembled).
The IRB
Chair reviews or assigns a primary reviewer to assess each protocol to ensure
appropriate and complete review of submissions. A summary of
findings is presented by the IRB Chair or primary reviewer to the full board
at fully convened meetings. Investigators and study coordinators are
invited and encouraged to attend meetings at which their research protocol
will be presented in order to provide responses to questions that may arise
during the protocol's review and discussion.
