Since I am a new Mac user I couldn't believe that all you had to do was drag an Application to the trash to uninstall it. For the most part this is true. But there are some applications that have preference files and stuff that don't always go out with the trash. They stay behind, hidden away in the maze of systems folders. After doing a search I found two reviews about applications that find and delete the extra files for you.
This first article I found was "Showdown: AppZapper vs. AppDelete†by David Aviv. I have tried both of these programs. I do agree with David that AppZapper is better but I can't see myself paying for something like this. From what I can tell AppDelete does just as good of a job and it's free. So paying for AppZapper just doesn't sit right with me.
I also found an article about an even better deletion tool, AppTrap. Steve Halford recently wrote a nice article about it called, "AppTrap – The Feature Apple Forgotâ€. After reading this I was excited to give this a try. Having to launch AppDelete every time I delete an app is a pain. This would eliminate that and it's free!
So if you're like me and are new to Macs, you have two good articles to read in your search for perfect app deletion. I know that they helped me in my decision. If you know of another app that does the same thing let me know and I will check it out.

That's right folks, you read it first right here on the Green blog. We just received a scoop that BioAmber (formerly DNP Green Technology) is developing a new generation of microorganism for succinic acid production under exclusive license from Cargill.
As soon as this microorganism is ready for commercial action, BioAmber plans to use it on all of their commercial plants. Right now the company is producing bio-based succinic acid at its 2,000 ton/year plant in Pomacle, France, which started in early 2010.
The company is actively engaged in discussions to build large-scale plants in North America and Asia. I believe the blog had an interview with BioAmber in April 2010 where the company mentioned planned initial annual capacity of 25,000 to 30,000 MT for these facilities. The near-term objective they said is to sign technology licenses for both plants so that they can be operational in 2012. That timeline might have shifted a bit by now.
Not much information on the type of microorganism Cargill has but it was reported that this bug can dramatically increase BioAmber's existing plant capacity with minimal investment and further reduce cost to manufacture biobased succinic acid. The bug can also use non-food feedstocks such as lignocellulosic material.
We will try to get more information tomorrow at the earliest, which ICIS News readers (sorry folks…protocols of my day job) will get first dibs. Not to worry, I will also spill out contents here on the blog as much as I can.
Time to say goodnight for now…

The Salvation Army Wooster Corps has nearly met its Capital Fund Campaign goal.
Stan Welty Jr. and Mary Alice Streeter, co-chairs of the Capital Fund announced that since March, pledges and cash received have reached the $1 million mark.
The $1.3 million raised will be used to build a Family Life Center at 450 South Market Street.
Welty said, "We are pleased and gratified with the wide support being given by the individuals and business firms from all of Wayne County. Almost all of the people we've contacted recognize the importance of this project to expand the services of the Salvation Army Wooster Corps to the entire family."
The Army plans to convert the former Wooster Glass Building at the corner of South Market and Ohio streets into a facility that will allow tutoring children at risk, recreation and half-court gym, counseling for youth and parents and an adult all purpose meeting room to serve the needs of the local community.
Major Mary West, commanding officer of the Wooster Corps stated: "Welfare reform has created an additional need for the services of the Army." Major West stated that in the last year alone, nights of shelter provided has increased 44 percent and meals served by the soup kitchen has increased 32 percent.
Welty said, "The last 20 percent of any campaign is the most difficult to obtain. However if our community supporters give us a hand, we will be able to be building to Build Lives!"
Contributions may be made to the Salvation Army Capital Fund, P.O. Box 884, Wooster 44691.

Sit on the covered back deck and watch the numerous hummingbirds, just a few feet away from you. Or, just sit and enjoy the view of the private backyard pond just steps away and the beauty of the nearby woods. Sit awhile on the floating dock at the pond and catch some rays of the sun. You can fish the pond. (Catch and release only of the large bass in there)!
Feel free to walk around our property and breathe in the fresh, country air. You may even get a glance of deer or turkey.
If you are an avid bird watcher, you will enjoy the various birds who will visit the bird feeder right outside the front window. Cardinals, nut hatches, goldfinches, blue jays, woodpeckers, and chickadees are the most common birds that are seen.
Watch the three resident horses graze in the fields surrounding you. You may feed them carrots and apples. Our horses are very gentle and love all of our guests, especially ones who come bearing treats!

My husband Pete and I are orginally from Northern Illinois. We moved down to Kentucky in 2001, and absolutely love it here. Pete had lived in Kentucky in the past when he attended MSU and fell in love at that time with the beautiful countryside. We currently have a small farm and raise chickens and have three pleasure horses for our personal use, plus Holstein calves.
Julee Skarka purchased this cabin in 2001
We love horses and living in the country, and when we first set eyes on this piece of property, it was love at first sight! We really do feel like we have a small piece of heaven right here. The rolling hillsides, the deep woods, and the beautiful sunrises and sunsets just confirm the fact that we made the right choice by moving to Kentucky.
We are very near to the Daniel Boone National Forest which gives us great wooded views all around. There are numerous trails everywhere, great for both horseback riding and hiking, which we both love to participate in. We chose this property over all others because of it's beauty, tranquility, and seclusion.
We desire that you would feel 'at home' while you are here, and we are dedicated to give you the best service possible. It is our goal that every guest who visits comes away feeling refreshed and re-newed, and our hope is that you would desire to visit us again in the future.
Loved our week at this cabin. My husband fished and I caught up on reading. He and I both desperately needed the peace and quiet.
Very peaceful,house was perfect and loved the pond.
Easy and comfortable. Low stress and very successfully got us away. Quiet and peaceful.
Just got done spending another week in the Bluegill Cottage. Thanks again to Pete and Julee for making a week without responsibilities go by entirely too fast. We couldn't have asked for better weather. Hope you see you guys again next year!
We loved this place!! Everything was perfect!!
Great view, private and quiet. We loved feeding the fish and visiting with the horses, Ginger, Sierra and Promise. What a great spot to get away from it all.
The furnishings are nicely appointed and the home comes fully equipped.
The owners Julee and Pete were wonderful. We were 100% pleased with our getaway! We will definitely be back again.
Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us!!
Wendy & Mike
Me, my husband and Coco recently visited this cottage and loved it. Julee and Pete are wonderful hosts. They met us at the cottage the night we arrived. What a gorgeous place to stay. The bed was very comfortable and the cottage was very clean and maintained well. It was very quiet and peaceful. Breathtaking view of the rolling hills. We spent our days exploring around this place, swam at Laurel River Lake, took a trip to Cumberland Falls, paddled Wood Creek Lake and also walked trail to the Camp Wildcat Civil War Battlefield. We are really happy about finding this paradise and we miss our getaway . Thank you Julee and Pete for sharing your cottage with us. You make people happy. We hope to return soon :)

Here's some sexy pics of my Latin Lover Steve Pena;-) He's got ass like you wouldn't believe!
6 comments:
That's true, Steve is handsome and you are a marvellous couple!
He must be amazing because he stole your heart and you're in love with him!
For us, he's in this incredible paradox: we hate him because he destroyed our hopes to seduce you but, as the same time, we love him because he makes you happy and that's the most important! We Brent is happy, all his fans are happy!
Even if I prefer your body, your lips, your eyes ( a dream!!!), it's true that his body is very attractiveand his eyes are deep! He's hot like latin lover but he has someting else, a mix of force and sweetness, like you Brent.
I wish you a lot of happiness for your couple! :-)

Eric/Loic, You have a way with words that go beyond belief. WOW. Who says you still can't seduce me with words/love? ;-) LOL>
Steve & I are the perfect match. yin/yang. He's everything I'm not and I'm everything he's not. We give each other what the other either wants, needs, or cherishes. We're not perfect, b/c no one is, but we communicate. That's the most important thing. He's helped me understand the importance of sticking up for yourself and getting respect.
Steve's a scorpio. He's very vocal. he's caring and loyal. As long as you remain loyal, he'll always have your back. He has helped me feel proud and strong. Secure and honest.
I've helped him open up and explore his inner most thoughts and secrets. Helped him realize there's nothing wrong with letting your guard down and trusting others.
He used to have a big wall and wouldn't let people get too close b/c of the chances of getting hurt. He's been burned by close friends. Burned with secrets he told to them feeling they would keep it to themselves. Well... they didn't. So he has a hard time trusting just anyone.
He's my best friend. I'm his best friend. We laugh, smile and enjoy everyday of our lives.
He loves hearing nice things from you and LOIC and other boys that stay close. He understands the importance of having you guys by my side.
Thanks again. I know i rambled on and on. But I just had to get it off my chest:-)
You guys ROCK!

Brent, your comment here is exactly the sort of thing you should be writing in your blog as an entry. Besides all the hot photos of you and other guys you like, and promoting your member site (which I'm a member of), this blog is a way for you to communicate who you are and what you think & feel to your fans. Your words about Steve are beautiful and heartfelt. I hope you start putting more of that in your blog--I love the eye candy, but more about your life and your perspective would be welcome here.
- April 26, 2008
WAOW! What lovely words! You're crazy in love! I liked that one boyfriend speaks like that about me!He must broadly deserve these words of love.
That's a couple: you give to the other and he gives what miss you. I think it's the army who gave this caracter to Steve and you broke the carapace!
I can't seduce you with words, not in english, I make too much mistakes, perhaps in French! I try to write in english to respect your international bloggies, it's very difficult for me as you can see!!!!!!
So, I could seduce you with words but i'm so irresistible and I don't want to broke your couple! lol! ;-)
It is a chance to discover you every day through your words!
But why you speak to me of Loic, I do not know it and I am jealous! lol! ;-) [Mais Loic je en demande qu'à te connaître, on a les mêmes goûts en matière de Brent, lol!!!]
Have a nice week end! Bisous

Mtac does not make one.
On to the next...
This is a discussion on IWB holster for Ruger SR9c within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I've heard nothing but great things on supertuck, but seems a tad large for me. Any others that work well? Under $100? Thanks! Oh I'd ...
I've heard nothing but great things on supertuck, but seems a tad large for me. Any others that work well? Under $100?
Oh I'd prefer a holster MADE for the sr9c, unless it fits nice and snug well into another (heard it fits into glock 27 holsters well?)
Mtac does not make one.
On to the next...
I was going to order one until a sweet deal came up on a CBST blem from Craig's website. I wouldn't hesitate to order. I've heard tons of good about them and STs. They are more adjustable than the ST and you can trim the leather down once you find the 'sweet spot' that you like.
M&P Shield9; RIA 1911 Tactical 9mm;...many long guns
there are quite a few under 100 decent holsters..please forgive and butchery of the spelling of peoples names but im not gonna go look up the exact spelling :) . I did this search about 3 months ago. I got the CBST its worth the $$ but I honestly cant rave about it like some do..its just too bulky for me and does not conceal as well(although it IS comfortable) as some of the smaller footprint holsters do in Kydex or leather.
I emailed and called some guys and the ones that I found made a holster for the SR9c were the following:
DM Bullard leather
Rusty Sherrick
side guard holsters
high noon holsters
Kirkpatrick leather(i think)
what I did was looked at the holster maker compilation they have at the top of this page then go to their sites and look at their holster lists...Those were the ones I could remember there are like at LEAST 10 more that make a good CC holster for under 100 for the SR9c.
Yeah I think I'm leaning away from the CBST due to size. I'm not that big.
Miller, I got an email saying my Kholster should ship on Monday. If you can hold off a week, I'll tell you what I think of mine. FYI I am 5'9 168# so I'm not a huge guy either.
picked up a don hume (sp) holster for the xd sub-compact today, fits the sr9c PERFECT.... I prefer to carry mid-back so this holster works beautifully, and only $20.
I'll keep my eye out on more holsters as they are released.
I got an email from Comp-Tac today that says they're now making a paddle holster for the SR9c. I'm sure they'll be doing IWB models soon.
I can make any of my holsters for the SR9c or SR9 full size.
"If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking" - George S. Patton.
I just got my Kholster in the mail today...
HOLY CRAP it is so much more comfortable than the cheapo Uncle Mike's IWB holster, even after only 5 minutes of wear and no adjustments. It really isn't even comparable. I was looking around at the GT Distributors showroom here in Austin (wow, like a big toy store for people with guns!!!) and tried on a Fobus paddle holster... it was a lot more comfortable but it printed a whole heck of a lot more with the athletic dri-fit t-shirts that I like to wear. An OWB paddle holster might still be a nice option for the colder months when I am usually wearing a hoodie or a jacket.
I am considering not doing a combat cut and leaving the leather between the grip and my skin, as it is a lot more comfortable. It doesn't seem to impede my draw grip that much, but if it is a lot more comfortable, I'll be more likely to wear it more in the first place.
Stupid question on the paddle holsters - is the paddle supposed to go inside your waistband, or just over the belt?

"To my mind it is wholly irresponsible to go into the world incapable of preventing violence, injury, crime, and death. How feeble is the mindset to accept defenselessness. How unnatural. How cheap. How cowardly. How pathetic." Ted Nugent
I cannot conceal a paddle holster either, hangs out too far. I have decided to "mod" my Supertuck for my M&P9c. I've got it dialed as well as I can so I'm going to start hacking leather. It is very large when your hip is very small. Great holster though, but I think I can get the same performance without all the extra leather. I'll post some pics when I finish.
Smith & Wesson M&P 9c
Ruger LCP with CT laser grip
Emerson Combat Karambit
Ol' .22LR
I posted this in another thread of mine, but thought I'd update this as well...
I got a Don Hume IWB for a XDsc and it fits my sr9c PERFECT!
I carry it mid back in a right handed holster (I am right handed), as I naturally invert my palm when I reach behind my back.
Working out perfect, and I can wear anything and you can't see it at all!

By then the slashed tire had become a rallying cry for retaliation.
On January 10, the Sun announced: "The chances are strong that this ordinance will start a fight that will last a long time. Maybe there will be an invasion by the IWW and the advertisement of San Diego as a place against free expression of thought."
Prophetic words. ■

I always knew there was a rivalry between SD and LA, but wow! Guess Otis lost that bet -- ha! LOVE stories about downtown area -- it's so much more interesting to take a walk around the area imagining all the ghosts of those events and marking what was with what it's become. I do worry about the SD Union's fate.... Good stories and sources for the upcoming Labor Day in Sept. So much similar strife connected with that 'holiday' -- upheaval, riots, free speech attacked from all sides -- oye!

"Ordered for my daughter's first birthday's pretty in pink party. It is very dainty and elegant. Loved it! Quality is great as always."
"These are very classic and chic and will look nice on stationery or packages. They are a bit smaller than I expected but the dimensions are given so it was just my perception that was off there. They are nice quality, not too thick, but that's to be expected with the great price."
"These stickers are very beautiful for a little girl. I use them as envelope seals for my daughter's stationery. The design is so pretty and the soft colors are perfect. They are a bit smaller than I thought they'd be but still a good size."
"For such a little gift tag, this packs a punch! When I first opened, I must admit these tags took my breath away. So pretty and so perfect for a 6-year dol gift tag. Makes life a little easier knowing I can wrap take-home gift in simple cellophane bag with ribbon and this tag. Love it!"
"nice & modern. this was hip and trendy without going overboard. The colors printed nicely. I chose the blue. Definately recommend!"

It looks like my diary is a bit behind in entries... The last one was written when Farlee came to stay. Well, my crazy humans brought home another foster shortly after getting Farlee. This second dog was a lab mix pup who wasn't even a year old. All she ever wanted to do was chew stuff (especially my stuff) and run like an idiot. After almost 2 months, Guinness found a permanent home. (I just hope their cat likes her so she can stay there!) Don't get me wrong, she was ok, but she was just too much energy most of the time. Farlee is still here. I guess people really do have a problem with age. (They can't handle their own aging and they can't see the value of a mature dog. I'm glad that I'm the resident dog instead of a foster now that I'm getting close to 4.)
My humans will both be home with me for the summer. They've never done that before. It's usually just one of them home with me while the other one works or goes to school. I think I'm going to like this. I've heard them talking about taking road trips. ( I like the car!) Maybe I will get more chances to write entries. (When the humans are busy, they are usually hogging the computer so I can't write...)
Well, Shiloh eventually found a home with people who adore her (according to the stories I've heard my humans telling). I am happy for her (and for me because she scared me). She was adopted and two days later, we got a new foster dog - Farlee. Farlee's ok. She doesn't snap at me for no reason and she's learned to kennel quite nicely (on MY pillow). I suppose I should be glad they don't let her sleep on the bed. (That would be grounds for war!) She's been here for over a month and it looks like she'll be here a while - something about having to finish treatment for a disease called Heartworm. (From what I heard, it's a pretty scary disease. I'm glad my humans give me that monthly preventative. They say that they would never do anything to let me get a disease like that. It's always nice to know I'm loved!)
Well, Einstein went to an adoption event last Saturday and didn't come back. I hope he's loving his new home as much as I love mine. I also hope that Shiloh gets a new home soon. She's supposed to be in today's newspaper as pet of the week, so more people will get to see her. She really needs a home of her own.

All practical theories of flight and engineering suggested it couldnt fly, but it does.
Tony Paradiso, of Woodbridge, began his career with that paradox.
Paradiso, 81, was instrumental in the development of a machine capable of vertical flight and unprecedented maneuverability: The helicopter.
Despite the odds against the rotor-powered, insect-shaped aircraft ever working, a group of engineers working with a Russian immigrant in Stratford, Conn., persevered.
As a starting engineer with the Sikorsky company in 1939, Paradiso worked side by side with pioneering designer Igor Sikorsky as he developed the plans for the first working helicopter built in the United States.
Paradiso grew up and attended high school in Massachusetts. Math and science intrigued him, and he was obsessed with speed.
I got stung by the bug when I was 5 years old, he said.
As a boy, he built models and was fascinated by machines that could move faster than anything on earth at that time. Top speed for an airplane in the late 1930s was around 100 miles per hour, and Paradiso wanted in on the action. He reasoned that he could attend a four-year college, puffing out his credits with humanities classes, or he could go straight to technical school and get out on the battle line two years sooner.
Because California was the center of the aeronautical universe at that time, that was where Paradiso wanted to go. The day after he graduated from high school, he traveled to Pomona and enrolled in Aero Industries Technical Institute, which later became Northridge Institute, where he earned his engineering degree in two years and was able to jump straight in to the working world.
Starting wage for a new engineer was 50 cents an hour, and gas was eight gallons for $1, Paradiso said. He could hardly wait.
He married a Woodbridge girl, Patricia Handel, and they had three children, who all now live in Southern California.
In 1986, the couple returned to Woodbridge and purchased the Handel home from the family estate. Patricia Paradiso died in 1990.
Paradiso is proud of the post-Victorian home which edges the Woodbridge golf course.
Built in 1917 entirely of redwood, it benefits from the natural air conditioner of Delta breeze pulling lawn sprinkler mist over the shaded porch.
Stepping over his housemate, a gray tabby cat named Bingo, Paradiso invites a visitor into his den, which is covered from floor to ceiling with framed photos and memorabilia from his days in aviation engineering. There are autographed photos of legendary pilot Gen. Jimmy Doolitle and World War I flying ace Eddie Rickenbacher, and several of Sikorsky, engaged in various stages of flight in his machines.
Paradisos pressed white shirt is set off by a short dark tie, and his black shoes match his crisply creased slacks which are as neat as his trimmed mustache. He sits on the edge of his easy chair, offering the sofa to his guest and pops a video into the player.
He starts the 11-minute long tape, which features his own narration, and shows off a tiny, museum-quality engineers model of the first practical working helicopter, the Sikorsky VS-300 that he helped design and build. The model was of such quality that, in 1994 when it was completed, the Smithsonian Institute vied for possession, but Paradiso was adamant that it should go to the American Helicopter Society, which he helped found in 1942.
The model, which was valued at more than $20,000, now resides in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Mich.
Igor Sikorsky was eager to demonstrate the usefulness of his vertical flying machine and had played with some applications for lowering rescue workers to locations where planes could not land, Paradiso said.
They started with a rope, and then a rope ladder which could lower a rescue worker into a danger zone. That solved half the problem, but there was no way to haul victims or property back up.
That was when Paradiso came up with the notion of combining a motor with a sling apparatus, and the first helicopter power hoist was born.
To date, more than a million lives have been saved by helicopters, and many of those were brought on board by the hoist Paradiso devised.
Today, he recalls his eight years with Sikorsky as exciting and productive, and expressed admiration for his bosss accomplishments.
(Sikorsky) was of the school where you designed, built and flew your own machines, Paradiso said. That had the effect of separating the good from the bad designers.
Paradiso later went to work for Douglas Aircraft, and retired after 39 years as an advanced design engineer.
While with Douglas, he worked on ultra-secret government projects, and had a hand in designing the refueling system on the KC10 A aerial tanker, which made much longer flights possible for military aircraft.
Of all his mementos, Paradiso said he is most proud of his medallion bestowed by the helicopter society, which now boasts more than 7,000 members worldwide.
When the society met for its annual convention in Montreal, Canada, Paradiso was invited as a special guest for the Day with the Pioneers session. Paradisos contributions to the industry were historic, said Ray Prouty, a consulting engineer and coordinator of the event for the society.
He designed the great-grandfather of all helicopter hoists, said Prouty, from his Westlake Village home.
Never satisfied with sitting still, Paradiso busies himself with continuing his own education.
He travels to engineering society meetings in Los Angeles each September to keep abreast of new technology, and acts as a mentor and lecturer for student engineers at the University of California, Davis. He served as a reading tutor for elementary students at Heritage School for nine years.
When he addresses the young engineers, he imagines they expect to see him appear in goggles and a leather helmet, but, he explains, he talks to them about projects they may not have dreamed of.
He loves to share stories of his work on early projects, including those he said once seemed like science fiction, but may be built within 25 years.
The supersonic transport could whisk passengers from New York to Tokyo in two hours, traveling at 150,000 feet.
But they still havent figured out that sonic boom problem, he said.
He contributed to designs for the original space shuttle, and worked up plans for the interior of Air Force One, but the contract was won by a rival aircraft company.
Paradiso shuffles his files, and scoots past Bingo to start the notes for his newest mission addressing the next generation of engineers.

GigOm had two great posts yesterday that are worth a read.
The first is from Derrick Harris on Oracle's Big Data appliance now featuring Cloudera's Hadoop distribution and management tools.
Oracle's appliance-based entré into the big data space was met with the healthy dose of skepticism one expects when Oracle lumbers into a new, hip space with expensive proprietary gear. But there is little use questioning whether Oracle will sell enough of its new system to make the effort worthwhile.
The second is from Barb Darrow on Rackspace open-sourcing Dreadnot, its software development project management tool.

Devops is taking hold as more companies no longer want to wait out long, monolithic software development projects. But that incremental development model requires management and monitoring tools to watch that process as it unfolds. That's what Dreadnot offers.

Through the engagement of the Stretch Reflex and therefore 97% of the muscle fibers, Whole Body Vibration has shown to rapidly increase circulation, as all Diabetics know lack of circulation is a major concern and can lead to life threatening conditions.
Complications after a stroke affect not only individual muscles, but also their interaction, which is critical for posture and movement. In addition the loss of muscle strength and muscle power causes an altered perception of the body. Movements and muscle tone are disrupted, with little to no control over partial movement. Using Vibration the muscles can be trained and spasticity and muscle tone can effectively be controlled. Due to the high number of repetitions during Vibration Training residual functions are rapidly activated.
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs and digestive system. Disease progression in cystic fibrosis (CF) leads to muscle wasting and loss of muscle function, WBV can improve muscle function in CF patients.

Android vs. iOS
The battle continues
The battle rages on between Android and Apple iOS. For consumers it can be confusing to go shopping, particularly since devices today have so many similarities. Plus, Android and iOS both inspire fierce loyalty, which is why it's important to do your homework before purchasing. If you're in the market for a new smart phone, consider the following before choosing an Android or Apple's iOS.
Historical differences
In general terms, Android and iOS are operating systems and should not be confused with the smart phone or tablet itself. Most consumers do not really deal with the operating system aspect of the phone, as it is built into the device. From a historical standpoint, this is the equivalent of the long time rivalry between PC and Apple. But again, today's platforms are much more compatible, whereas in the past there was a definitive separation.
Common apps
When considering Android or iOS, keep in mind that the two systems have many apps in common. Each system has its own versions of certain apps, but some of the more popular apps for gaming, social networking and communication offer versions for both platforms. Therefore, one consideration when looking at a smart phone is whether there are particular apps you want to use that may not be available for all platforms.
Particular functions
Two examples of proprietary apps are Apple's Siri and Android's Google Now. Both are virtual assistants that can help you with a variety of tasks, from voice-activated dialing to driving directions. Other apps that may come bundled with an operating system are cameras, web browsers, maps and media-sharing software. Some consumers may not care what they use, but others are more particular.
An entire system
The operating system of your smart phone should not necessarily dictate the rest of your technology purchases, but there is certainly incentive to do so in some cases. Today's devices are much better with cross-platform compatibility, but it certainly helps to have other devices that go along with your smart phone operating system. This includes desktop computers, laptops and tablets. As consumers do more work in the "cloud," there will be an increased demand for devices that offer platform-independent communication.
Price considerations
For some people, cost is a key consideration. Overall, iOS-based devices tend to be more expensive. An example is the new iPhone 5, which starts at $199 for the 16 GB model. The iOS family of products is rarely discounted or given away when people sign up with a cellular provider. Android-based products are much more flexible, which means that new devices such as the Samsung Galaxy S III are often on the market faster than iOS-based products. This leaves room for cheaper device costs and special deals.
Shop around
Obviously people want to make the right choice when they buy a product. However, when it comes to smart-phone technology, there is the opportunity to eventually buy something new if the current device does not live up to expectations. The good thing about Android versus iOS is that both are very solid operating systems that can meet the needs of a wide variety of consumers.

I decided to sell my 2001 Volvo S60 T5 last summer, basically because it was becoming too costly to maintain. I spent $3-4K each of the last two years on it and it only had 80K miles. Needless to say it was a fun car to drive but not worth the money.
I originally started looking at the Audi A3 and the BMW 325xi. I wanted something sporty with all wheel drive for Tahoe in the winter. But my biggest concern with Audi and BMW was that they would be as expensive as Volvo to maintain, maybe even more expensive. That is when a friend recommended that I check out the WRX.
I came across this website while researching the WRX and it honestly pushed me further in the direction of purchasing one. I ended up purchasing a new 09 WRX Premium back in August. Probably wasn't the best timing with Car for Clunkers going on, but I got 0% financing and only paid a couple hundred over invoice (and saved $20K+ over the BMW 335xi that I was considering).
At first I was a little concerned about having a manual transmission since I live in San Francisco, but I also ride a motorcycle, so I figured I should be able to handle it. With the exception of one incident where I burned the clutch pretty badly on a steep hill, I haven't had any issues. Good thing the warranty covers one new clutch
So far I've put about ~2,700 miles on the car.
What I like:
+3-4K RPMs in 3rd gear and 4-5K RPMs in 4th gear. I'm no car expert and I don't even know when the torque & HP is supposed to be best, but those ranges feel the best to me
+AWD & handling - Wow this is my first AWD car and I can definitely feel the difference. Combined with the manual transmission. I'm looking forward to driving in the snow.
+Versatility - This car is perfect for my lifestyle: living in the city, going to Tahoe, the beach, etc., commuting on the freeway. Super fun to drive, easy to park, can load up all my toys (bike, snowboard, hockey gear, etc.)
+The car feels like it's getting more powerful as I put more miles on it. Part of it is probably that I'm getting better with the clutch, but I also think the car is getting faster...
What I don't like:
+The interior - it's too cheap feeling, so one thing I'm doing is upgrading the seats to leather. The doors feel especially cheap and prone to getting marked up. Any recommendations for improving their durability?
+Lack of lumbar support - I took a road trip to Yosemite and the lack of lumbar support was painful after just a couple hours. I've looked around on this site for recommendations, but haven't seen much besides "use a pillow"
+Stereo sucks - I can't believe they call it the premium sound package. I hate to hear what they think is mediocre.
Extras on the car:
Dim Mirror w/Homelink
Shock Sensor
Short Throw Shifter
Bumper Cover
Cargo Tray
What I'm planning short term:
Leather seats
Sport Grille
Body Side Molding - do you guys think this looks good/bad?
Bike & Snowboard rack - any recommendations?
ClearShield Paint Protection - do you guys think this is worth it?
Window tint
New Stereo Amp & Head Unit - want to get more power to the speakers, but not really interested in a subwoofer (not my style), any recommendations?
Tail light covers - just ordered the red Harmon Motive Rear Lamp Overlay Kit (found out about this from a post by Big Sky, thanks!)
What I'm planning long term:
New tires
Suspension & brake upgrades*
Stage 1 tune*
*post warranty expiration (probably...maybe...)
Overall I'm loving my new Rex. I went out of town for two weeks on business and couldn't wait to get back home and go for a ride

Aftermarket speakers to BMW connector????
Just wondered how you actually connect aftermarket speakers with the normal +/- tabs to the non-standard BMW connector?
Do you cut the wires then terminate with standard spade terminals etc...?
I'm specifically talking about door components for a 03 Sedan/Touring.
Guys. Surely this is an easy answer...?
what kind of connections your new speaker have will determine what you need to do. no matter the type, you will have to chop off the stock connector (or splice) to connect new speakers.
BSW speakers are the only ones i know of that work directly with the stock tabs (i think).
you can use the wiring chart on the bottom of this thread to help ensure you have your +/- correct.
All aftermarket speakers have the same terminals / tabs. You connect using spade terminals but in the case of BMW connectors I assume that's what you do.
So of the 4-wire connector at the door speaker, 2 are just a kick-up to the tweeter?
Where is the crossover?
i had the non-hk system, and like all of the cars with amps in the trunk, it had dedicated wires going from the rear to each independent speaker. the crossover is integrated into the amplifier in most cars, though i'm not versed in cars from over the pond. your car either has an amp in the trunk (on the left side) with similar wiring or may be sending power from an internal amp in the head unit up front. in either case, i've not heard of any external crossovers being utilized by BMW.
hope that helps a little. maybe someone with a similar car will jump in here...
Kind of.
My main issue is:
'So if I cut the 4-wire connector at the door speaker, and 2 kick-up to the tweeter, won't I ruin signal to the tweeters? How do I do this without disturbing that?
Three options:
Destroy the original speakers and use the connections from them. (Requires soldering) etc
Use a splice electrical connector that cuts through the insulation and allows you to connect off the original. (Splice before the wire terminates with the connection block) Also called snap lock connectors see here:
Cut the wires and use spade or bullet connectors.
Mate. It is a massive no-no using those splice connectors - they are a terrible idea.
But again, my issue is a question of the crossover, not how to actually connect.
Gotta chop off the connector... and solder on new speaker wire w/spades. Always solder when you can... even though you're compromising the fact that you can't go back to 100% factory... you're going to end up with a crummy install otherwise.
solder the wires together......
I've installed the crossovers inline with no problem. I was told the crossover was built into the speaker, but looking at them I don't see how or where (looking at stock HK rear door tweet/mid). If the crossover is indeed in the amp, wouldn't the filtered frequency just get through the aftermarket crossover no problem?
the signal is filtered through the amp. i believe bmw uses an active x-over vs. a passive one. you should be able to connect the speakers without the x-over in place. unless you plan to run an aftermarket amp. you're not going to notice a huge (if at all) performance with just a replacement of the speakers anyhow.
nah they don't. none of components do really because the stock amp takes care of that. it won't damage the speakers if you don't use them. i would only use them if i decide to use an aftermarket amp.
Still confused.
Can someone clarify on how the wires leave the stereo and reach the door speaker and then the tweeter on a standard non-amped, non HK set up?
It has an inline resistor connected to the cable/wiring from the bass/woofer speaker to the tweeter, see the circled area in the photo:
I cut and soldered spade connectors for my set up :
and shrink wrapped in the final install:
Then shrink wrapped the spade connections after fitting for good measure:
Obviously you cannot use the same / original tweeter cable with new tweeters if you want to use your own crossover because of the inline resistor.
(Unless you replace them with identical 8ohm tweeters - but then what was the point ?)
So in summary, the woofer / bass cable can be cut and soldered and the tweeter wire is best replaced. Any crossover needs to be wired in the door (or take a feed from before the amplifier - if / where the car has one)
Hope this helps, it shows where my crossover is in the door between the woofer and tweeter. I have a non HK and no factory amplifier set up. The speaker input feeds the crossover and the crossover has a tweeter output and a bass/woofer output which you connect to the corresponding speaker:
^ that's pretty much it. for a non-hk, no amp. if you have the amp then it goes through the amp which takes care of the x-over functions to the speakers.
Old thread bump, yeah yeah
So my infinity reference speakers came with a crossover; do I just cut and solder the factory wires?? Or do I use the x-over that came with the speakers (which I can't seem to figure out how that is going to work)??? BTW I'm using the stock HU and stock amp. Car is a coupe
These are the speakers I have:
I'd say yes put the crossover in the door between the tweeter and bass as per my photo above, the crossover has two outputs one for the bass and one for the tweeter. Remember to remove the inline resistor on the tweeter cable if it is present in your car (see photo above) and solder connections for best results.
There's lots of videos on the web for how to wire a crossover - google is your friend

Save On Meats, a legendary diner in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside neighbourhood, has launched a tit-for-tat strategy against a group of masked anarchists who allegedly stole the restaurant's sandwich board.
After the sign disappeared last month, the thieves emailed a photo of a masked person posing with it to the diner's owner.
Save on Meats retaliated with their own image. In a photo posted on the restaurant's Facebook page, two people are huddled around a brand new sign. In the caption it reads: "Save On Meats — 1 Jackasses — 0."
Attached to the new sandwich board is a cut-out of a person dressed in black and making peace signs with his hands, a clear jab at the hooded anarchist who wears a bandana and sunglasses in the original photo.
"This piece of plywood was shaped to feed the community we love," reads the entry on Facebook. "It's meant to…

"The Wayne-Dalton door at my rental house busted and couldn't be lifted manually or operated with the door opener. After calling several places, two of which didn't even pick up and some which suggested service calls of over $80 just to come out and take a look (what happened to the days of free in-home quotes?!) we found Legends Garage Door. Cory was prompt, friendly and professional. He called a couple of days before the appointment to confirm the date/time, called when he was en route to the premises and I met him there. My father in law (a home inspector) had taken a look at the door and said that it weighed probably 300 pounds and wouldn't be able to be lifted. Cory basically grabbed the door and hauled it upward like it was made of paper. The rest of the work was just as impressive - if you've ever seen Guido the forklift "peet stop" tire change scene in the movie Cars you'll know what I mean. The work was done in record time, including lubricating the tracks and door joints, and it was fairly educational for me too (he suggested not to use silicone-based garage door lubricant if I was going to do the job myself in the future), plus he has a [after hour] door service for emergencies. Since the spring wasn't broken and only needed to be tightened, $49 was all that was charged for the service call. In addition I was going to ask him to fix one of the light sockets in the door opener as it was fried, probably due to an insect crawling into it - he took down the model number and other details and said that he would need a replacement part but wouldn't charge a service call again, it would just be part and labour. The renter decided they were fine with a single bulb working so in the end we didn't need to arrange that repair.
I thoroughly recommend Cory and Legends Garage Door - one of the best service calls I have ever had the pleasure of arranging."

March 1, 2001
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -
Sidney Lanier High School assistant coach RichardMoncrief has accepted an offer to join the UAB Football coaching staff, Blazer head coach Watson Brown announced today.?
Moncrief, who spent four seasons at Sidney Lanier (1997-01), most recently was the team's offensive coordinator and coached quarterbacks and receivers, helping the Poets to the 1999 Alabama 6A seminfinals.?? While at Sidney Lanier, he coached four current UAB players, linemen Artavious and Tony Williams and Wilbert Hamilton, linebacker Nigel Eldridge, and a 2001 signee, defensive back Carlos Hendricks.
At UAB, Moncrief will coach receivers.
Moncrief played quarterback at Clemson (1989-93), and was part of Tiger teams that won an ACC championship (1991) as well as three of four bowl games during that period.? In addition to participating in victories in the Gator Bowl (1989), Hall of Fame Bowl (1990) and Peach Bowl (1993), he was named MVP of the 1991 Coca-Cola Bowl in Tokyo (a Tiger win over Duke).??
"We're very excited to have Richard join our staff," said Brown.
"He's a fine young coach who is highly respected by his peers.? We're particularly happy that we were able to hire an Alabama high school coach - we know how good the coaching is in this state."
Brown also announced several changes in assignments for current members of the UAB coaching staff, including enhanced roles for veteran assistants Rick Christophel and John Neal.??
Christophel, who has served in numerous capacities in his six seasons at UAB - most recently as assistant head coach and receivers coach -- will now have the defensive coordinator title.? Neal, who has been the Blazers' secondary coach for six seasons, will now have responsibility for the entire pass defense as passing game coordinator.
"Rick was our defensive coordinator at Vanderbilt in 1989 and we had one of the better defensive teams in the SEC that year," said Brown.
"He's been successful at it and I know he will do a great job.? John has been one of the big factors in our defensive success over the past few seasons, and he's a terrific coach.? We felt that with 10 starters returning on defense that we wanted to promote from within.? We've been very successful and wanted to try and maintain some consistency in our philosophy."
UAB finished 11th nationally in total defense in 2000, allowing 290.91 yards per game.? The Blazers were sixth overall in rushing defense (83.55 yards per game) and ninth in scoring defense (allowing 17.45 points per game).? UAB was ranked as high as second in total defense in mid-season.

Hey guys,
I have been searching for accurate information all over the forum and internet for how long a wrx lasts for... But can't seem to find anything concrete. So I will ask the owners.
I am interested in buying a 2002 wrx but can only afford one that all ready has over 100,000-110,000 miles on it. Is this too many miles to buy a car I expect to last me for about 5, 6, or even 7 years? I take good care of my cars, but I can't be so sure about how my previous owner took care of my future WRX. Will one of these weathered WRXs do me well for years to come even though they have over 100,000 miles? If I change my oil religiously and take great care of her, will she last me? Will she still have that oh so amazing acceleration?
Thanks guys so much!
I am really excited to join the club.

Mold in my brand new house !
I"m a new member here, so thank you for your time upfront!
We bought a house that was built on spec 2 months ago, and while I was installing some wiring in the basement, I pulled off a piece of insulation on the pony wall (the short wall above the foundation and the bottom floor, where the floor joists attach) and noticed what I thought was surface mold behind it. (nothing crazy but defiantly mold) After debating on it, I called in a company who deals with this type of thing and they felt it was mold, and indicated that the lack of vapor barrier over the insulation would have caused the condensation over the winter (while the house was being finished).
Now this being a brand new home, with a Lux warrenty we called up the builder and he agreed to look at it. He brought the subcontractor who would have installed the insulation and they tried to convince me that it wasn't mold. In the end they agreed to install the vapor barrier but I told them I would get back to them as I wanted to check on what to do about the mold.
I decided to clean this mold myself as there wasn't much on the osb so I pulled down all the insulation and sprayed the osb with diluted bleach water and I attempted to clean off the surface mold...but without any great success.
My question is now do I spray it again, put up the insulation after it dries, have them vapor barrier it and forget it? Or should I have more done to remove the mold from the OSB?
Thanks again for reading this and your answers.
I would have had it tested. If it wasn't removed with the bleach, it might not be mold.
Depending on where you are, a vapor barrier may be the wrong thing to do. You surely need an air barrier, but not necessarily a vapor barrier. VB's can cause condensation problems from vapor driven from the outside. I would check that out first, and then see about a good air barrier.

CAIR Asks Pentagon to Dismiss Officer Who Taught 'Total War' on Islam
Training suggested destroying Mecca and Medina using 'Hiroshima' tactics
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 5/10/12) -- A prominent national Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization today called on the Department of Defense (DoD) to dismiss the instructor who taught fellow officers that only a "total war" on Islam would protect America, that they should use "Hiroshima" tactics, target civilian populations, and abandon the Geneva Conventions.
The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) recently applauded the DoD for dropping the Islamophobic training course attended by senior officers and for instituting a complete review of training relating to Islam and Muslims. CAIR is asking that the officer who taught that course at the Defense Department's Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Va., be dismissed from his position at the college.
"It is imperative that those who taught our future military leaders to wage war not just on our terrorist enemy, but on the faith of Islam itself be held accountable," wrote CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad in a letter to Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta. "These shocking revelations are completely out of line with the longstanding values of one of our nation's most respected institutions."
Awad also called for the retraining by credible scholars of all officers who took the course and offered to coordinate a meeting between Pentagon officials and national Muslim leaders.
"If left uncorrected, the biased, inaccurate and un-American training previously given to these officers will harm our nation's security, image and interests for years to come," wrote Awad.
Awad said he agreed with FBI Director Robert Mueller who, when questioned yesterday about similar Islamophobic training of FBI agents, told the House Judiciary Committee, "It does us no good to have personnel who are trained with inadequate materials or misguided materials."
Republicans to FBI: Put Those Anti-Muslim Materials Back!
The DoD course for future military leaders was suspended after it was found to contain false and derogatory material about Islam, but few specifics of the course content were available at that time.
SEE: CAIR Commends Pentagon for Dropping Islamophobic Course
Today, Wired magazine revealed details of the contents of the course, which included:
- "We have now come to understand that there is no such thing as 'moderate Islam.'" "It is therefore time for the United States to make our true intentions clear. This barbaric ideology will no longer be tolerated. Islam must change or we will facilitate its self-destruction."
- Suggestion to apply "the historical precedents of Dresden, Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki" to Islam's holiest cities, and bring about "Mecca and Medina['s] destruction."
- The Geneva Conventions may no longer be relevant, allowing the targeting of the "civilian population wherever necessary."
According to the Wired report: "For the better part of the last decade, a small cabal of self-anointed counterterrorism experts has been working its way through the U.S. military, intelligence and law enforcement communities, trying to convince whoever it could that America's real terrorist enemy wasn't al-Qaida — but the Islamic faith itself."
CAIR last year welcomed a White House-ordered comprehensive review of government counterterrorism training materials to weed out Islamophobic content.
CAIR chapters nationwide have filed 87 separate public records requests about possible Islamophobic training of local, state and national law enforcement personnel.
The Washington-based Muslim civil liberties organization has in the past called on the Obama administration, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and Congress to provide oversight for apparently widespread anti-Muslim bias in the training of law enforcement, security and military personnel nationwide.
CAIR noted the release of an 80-page report by Political Research Associates (PRA), titled "Manufacturing the Muslim Menace: Private Firms, Public Servants, & the Threat to Rights and Security," which details a systemic failure to regulate content in counterterrorism training.
Washington Monthly magazine also published a major investigative article showing similar anti-Islam attitudes by private trainers of law enforcement agencies.
A number of recent reports have documented the growth and promotion of Islamophobia nationwide.
CAIR: Same Hate, New Target
Center for American Progress: Fear, Inc.
Southern Poverty Law Center: Jihad Against Islam
People for the American Way: The Right-Wing Playbook on Anti-Muslim Extremism
CAIR is America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding.

In previous articles in Dentistry Today (August and November, 2002), I examined the advantages of having computers in treatment rooms and specifically looked at Internet access and its applications in the operatory. Although there are certainly many reasons for placing computers in a clinical setting, for many offices space limitations have prevented some doctors from taking advantage of their utility.
Although there have been attempts at pen-based computing in the past, the tablet PC is a relatively new idea. In essence, the tablet PC is a portable laptop that has a touchscreen and uses a special digital pen for data input. The main reason that many experts believe that the tablet will become popular is because of Microsoft's support of this technology. Microsoft has created software designed specifically for tablets, known as Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. This software is a full-featured version of Windows with a few extras. The main extra feature is digital ink. Digital ink allows you to write on the screen as if it were a pad of paper. The other main feature is handwriting recognition. You can be in a program like Word, use your own handwriting or printing, and see the writing converted to text as it is entered into the document.
Thanks to Microsoft's input, any tablet that wants to use the Windows XP for Tablet PC Edition software must meet 6 basic criteria.
(1) Precise Pens. Tablet PCs use a pen, but it is not the pen or stylus that you would use with a Palm or Pocket PC. Microsoft requires that vendors use a digitizer, which is a thin piece of metal that sits behind the LCD screen and communicates via radio signals with the pen. The screen can actually detect the pen when it is about 0.75 inches above the screen surface. The downside? Do not lose the pen! The screen will not detect a finger or stylus. The benefits of this are that you can rest your hand or wrist on the screen without fear that you will create random marks of digital ink.
(2) Fast Wake-up. As many owners of laptops are aware, the sleep mode in a laptop can be variable at best. Microsoft knew the importance of this for a portable device like a tablet, so specifications require that tablets wake up in less than 5 seconds, and batteries must be powerful enough to keep the tablet in sleep mode for at least 72 hours.
(3) Rotating Display. Because some software works better in portrait mode than in landscape mode, tablets must be able to display both formats through the use of a menu selection, button, or automatically.
(4) Grab and Go. Many of the tablet PCs are sold with docking stations that allow you to use the tablet as a monitor. Unlike many laptops, tablets must be able to be docked and undocked without the need to turn off the power.
(5) Legacy-Free. To keep tablets thin and light, tablet PC manufacturers are not required to include legacy devices, such as parallel and serial ports (and most do not). On the plus side, they are free to add slots and ports not normally seen in laptops, such as USB 2.0, Firewire, Compact Flash, and SD memory slots. All of them have at least one PC card slot.
(6) The reboot function that is normally invoked by hitting control, alt, and delete at the same time is combined into a single button on a tablet, thus making it difficult for a hacker to take control of the system by bringing up the onscreen keyboard.
Another newer technology that should not be confused with tablet PCs is smart displays. Unlike tablet PCs, which are designed for the business environment, smart displays are meant more for home use, although they have found a market in hospital settings. Their goal is to extend the use of an existing Windows XP desktop by using a pen-enabled monitor. The monitors look and feel like the slate tablet PC design, but they do not run Windows XP. Instead, they run a version of Windows CE, similar to pocket PCs, and they communicate with the server through a wireless network. In essence, programs do not run on the smart display. Instead, the smart display allows you to run the software that resides on the server, and you will see on the smart display the image that would have shown up on the server's screen. From the user's standpoint, it is hard to differentiate between the smart display and a tablet, because you can control and run software from a smart display that will seem like the software is residing in the smart display. In dentistry, the only company currently marketing a smart display is Video Dental Concepts. Its DOT (Digital Operatory Tablet) has been available for a few months. Other companies will release smart displays in early 2003.
Of course, the question remains, how can tablets be used in dental offices? I see a few scenarios where the tablets will make sense.
(1) The Single Tablet for Personal Use. I see a good use for a tablet in a fully computerized office where the dentist will have one tablet that he or she uses for personal use. Because the tablet has a wireless connection to the network, it is easy to run the practice management software from the tablet. Because many practice management programs allow for electronic chart notes, the dentist can make these notes between patients or during a few minutes of downtime in the operatory. The doctor can also use the tablet to check his or her schedule, go online, write e-mails, etc.
(2) The Patient Monitor. Although their resolution is not as good as a conventional monitor, the higher resolution of tablets compared with that of older laptops makes them a nice alternative for viewing digital radiography or digital camera images. The USB and memory card slots make it easy to incorporate a digital camera memory card or USB capture card. The patient can hold the tablet and view the images as they are downloaded. Also, by using the digital ink features of the tablet, the dentist can annotate, highlight, or make notes on areas of the digital images and then print out the images with these notes intact. This scenario would be ideal for the dental office with very small operatories and where it would be impossible to place a monitor for patient viewing.
(3) The Desktop Replacement. I do feel that in certain circumstances, offices that do not have computers in the operatories might consider using tablets exclusively, with a few caveats. First and foremost, many digital technologies require a desktop computer. For example, most digital radiography systems use SCSI or proprietary PCI cards for data capture; these could not be used with tablet PCs. Second, dentists should look at tablets that come with docking stations so that they can use external monitors and floppy and CD-ROM drives. Docking stations will also allow the tablet to be mounted in a position where it can be viewed like a regular monitor.
The tablet PC presents a new option for dentists who are looking to add technology to their practices. By giving dentists a truly mobile platform, tablet PCs may have a place in many offices. The choices in design and features give practitioners many options for finding the right solutions for their office. Dentists who have resisted placing computers in the treatment rooms should look at tablet PCs as a viable alternative.

Our postgraduate module will give you a critical overview of the main methodologies and designs applied to research in health. You'll explore the theoretical dilemmas which underlie the process of inquiry and develop your knowledge in order to support effective, evidence-based practice.
Evidenced-based practice is now a central tenet of professional practice and aligns with the concepts of competence and quality of care. Our module will allow you to better understand the research you read to inform your practice, and to make judgements about its quality. It will also prepare you to undertake research at work or as part of a course of study.
Together, we'll explore the overarching research framework including both quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, data collection methods, issues of rigour and data analysis approaches. This will include an overview of descriptive and inferential statistical principles. We'll also look at reviewing published literature, critiquing studies and understanding the methodology of systematic reviews, and ethical issues relating to research conduct and use, and research governance.
At the end of the module you'll be able to:
- demonstrate a critical understanding of alternative epistemological perspectives relating to theory, design and analysis in research for health and social care, professional practice, regulation and policy
- critically analyse relevant literature to justify the significance of the proposed study and the appropriateness of the chosen research methodology
- critically debate the ethical issues related to research
- evaluate and apply principles of research design and strategy to formulate a research proposal.
This module is suitable for qualified health professionals from a range of different backgrounds. Prior knowledge of research equivalent to that found within a third year undergraduate research studies module is required for this module.

The Idea of History: With Lectures 1926-1928 (1946)
by R. G. Collingwood
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Collingwood's "The Idea of History" is arguably one of the most important books in the 20th Century on history and the study of. The author attempts to get at what exactly it means when refers to "studying history" and what the heck history is in the first place. The first section, after briefly touching on the aforementioned topics, dives into the history of history: how everyone from the ancient Greeks to his contemporaries (~1930s) view history and what are the problems with those views. The next section consists of Collingwood outlining his very convincing argument of what history is and why it is so important that history is studied. While it can ramble on a bit, it is a fascinating book that is still important to read if you are interested in the study of history.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0192853066, Paperback)The Idea of History is the best-known work of the great Oxford philosopher, historian, and archaeologist R.G. Collingwood. It was originally published posthumously in 1946, having been mainly reconstructed from Collingwood's manuscripts, many of which are now lost. This important work examines how the idea of history has evolved from the time of Herodotus to the twentieth century, and offers Collingwood's own view of what history is. For this revised edition, Collingwood's most important lectures on the philosophy of history are published here for the first time. These texts have been prepared by Jan van der Dussen from manuscripts that have only recently become available. The lectures contain Collingwood's first comprehensive statement of his philosophy of history; they are therefore essential for a full understanding of his thought, and in particular for a correct interpretation of The Idea of History itself. Van der Dussen contributes a substantial introduction in which he explains the background to this new edition and surveys the scholarship of the last fifty years.

Yesterday I took the plunge and got behind the sewing machine for the first time since 4th grade. From that, a neckseal emerged. Thanks to Ladysewforus' great tutorial!
My first attempt was a little on the small side, so I'm going to finish it up and sell it (it should fit a 15-15.5 inch neck). PM me if you're interested. It is made from tackle twill and thin canvas material.
Here's how it turned out! Let me know what you think. Be nice, it'smy first one!! :-)

A1 Browning, Robert,, Browning, Elizabeth Barrett,, Ricks, Christopher,, PB Doubleday PP Garden City, N.Y. YR 1970 AB The face of Robert Browning gives nothing away -- handsome and polished, it offers no hold to those who would pry into the soul behind. Its metallic mirror gives us back ourselves. But the face of Elizabeth Barret Browning speaks openly of her sufferings -- of ill health, of an iron father, of miscarriages -- yet speaking in the accents of courage and good sense. Any woman of sensitivity and talent can imagine herself as Elizabeth, in the hope that she might get as much as did Elizabeth out of a life which sometimes seemed to offer so little. No man can imagine himself as Robert. And if that is because genius is a mystery, it is even more because Robert Browning is a mystery. - p. 1.

Amy Childs has said that she will be backing Lauren Goodger on Dancing On Ice this year.
The star of The Only Way Is Essex has signed up for the ITV show and has been in training for the past few months on the rink.
Amy left the ITV2 show to star in Celebrity Big Brother last year and thinks Mark Wright's ex was right to do the same for her new show, she thinks the exercise will be good for her too.
In an interview with Metro, the busty red head explained:
""Lauren is a size 12, she is curvy but she is not fat. She has a nice figure but she still gets so much stick for it."
She added:
"Dancing On Ice will help her to keep fit, so I'm definitely backing Lauren. I might go and watch her."
Any excuse to get her mug on TV eh?
Childs has become the queen of reality TV and as well as starring in TOWIE and Celebrity Bug Brother she has appeared on The X Factor, Xtra Factor and her own reality series for Channel 5.
She draws the line at Dancing On Ice though and says it's too dangerous for her liking. Previous contestants have ended up with broken legs, slashed faces and gashed arms and it's all too much for Childs. She said:
"My dad always says if you ever get asked to do anything don't do DOI.
"When Jennifer Ellison did it last year, it used to scare me watching her. I would definitely do Strictly though."
Amy also hit out at Kerry Katona in her column for new! this week, after the mum of four said that she would never get on with the Essex star.
Childs defended herself saying:
"She recalls one time when we were in Dubai for work and I was all made up by the pool and she wasn't.
I like to be glam and take pride in myself, especially as a beautician.
I wear make-up and nail polish, whereas Kerry doesn't all of the time.
But that's just me and I won't change for anyone.
We're just very different people. "
Are you looking forward to Dancing On Ice's return in January? Do you think Lauren will be a good contestant?
Jayne Torvill thinks she'll be ok if she cuts down on the boozing! Leave your comments below…

Schottky diode bargain
I was looking through the Farnell catalogue (UK), and discovered that there is a 3A 40V Schottky diode:
706-644 selling at:
(UK Pounds)
5 off: 0.096 each
100 off 0.088 each
That is about 1/10 of the RS price!
Yesterday I queried the price with them; they said it was correct, so I ordered 100. Today I received them, and they're fine.:)
Enjoy, while it lasts ;)

Participating in Clinical Trials
Frequently Asked Questions
27. What organizations exist to protect participants in clinical trials?
If you have concerns about your safety being protected by someone other than the research team, there are outside organizations that protect trial participants. They will stop a trial if they find that the experimental product is harming the participants or not having any effect. These organizations include Institutional Review Boards and Data and Safety Monitoring Committees.
Before starting a trial, researchers must get permission from their organization's Institutional Review Board or IRB. IRB members are independent of the study and do not have an interest in how it turns out. The IRB reviews the trial's protocol, or study plan, to look for possible benefits and risks to human subjects.
Data and Safety Monitoring Committees are independent of the study and look at data collected during studies comparing different drugs. They pay special attention to treatment trials for life threatening diseases. If a committee finds the experimental product is harming participants or is not working, it will stop the study.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Rising seniors Ben Olayinka and Luis Flores were named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches Honors Court, the NABC announced. The award recognized those collegiate basketball student-athletes who excelled in academics during the 2011-12 season.
The NABC Honors Court recognizes the talents and gifts that these men possess off the court, and the hard work they exhibit in the classroom. In order to be named to the Honors Court, an athlete must meet a high standard of academic criteria. The qualifications include varsity status for at least one year as a junior or senior with a cumulative 3.2 grade point average or higher at the conclusion of the 2011-12 academic year at a NCAA Division I, II, III, or NAIA Institution.
Flores, a product of Scottsdale's Coronado High School, earned the award for the second consecutive year. He saw action in 23 games with three starts last season, averaging 1.3 points per game...He had a season-high nine points against Arizona Christian and made 8-of 18 attempts beyond the arc (44.4%) for the season. He has a 3.57 grade point average and is majoring in biomedical science with a minor in chemistry.
Olayinka, who is from Corvallis, Ore., is majoring in electrical engineering and posted a 3.90 GPA in his first season at NAU. He saw action in 25 games with three starts, averaged 1.8 points and 1.9 rebounds per game. He made his first career start at Portland State, scoring six points and tying career-high with six boards and had a season-high seven points and six boards in his Big Sky debut against Sacramento State.

"I love it, it came in so fast I am really excited that it came in. I will definitely do more beautiful card invitation. Thank you"
"I found it very difficult to find a simple layout that would work for twins for graduation. I was able to make this one work. I liked that I could add a photo to the back as well. In the back photo I put the twins in their university shirts. It would have been nice if I could have matched the font from the "class of" as part of my description. Overall it was a simple and elegant design that turned out great."
"The quality of the paper far exceeded my expectations! it was thick enough that when sent in the mail i didn't worry about it getting bent! I was very happy with my decision to order from tiny prints and would order from them again!"
"The quailty of the card and the personaliztion was what great about this card. It is so simple but elegant exactly what we were going for."
"My daughter and I both loved this announcement as she was looking for something different than the usual graduation announcement. We used a black/white picture and it turned out great. The paper is a nice weight and the striped back is a nice twist. So far, we have received several compliments on the announcement. I do wish they had a coordinating envelope that had a lining in it."

Sports Briefs: Bike to Work Week under way
June 21, 2011
Steamboat Springs — Bike to Work Week kicked off Monday in Steamboat Springs. The highlight of the week is the 7 to 9 a.m. Wednesday morning breakfast available for all bicycle commuters on the Routt County Courthouse lawn in downtown Steamboat Springs.
June is recognized as Bike to Work Month in Colorado, and it has been celebrated locally with a bike commuter challenge.
That month-long event, which pits individuals and teams against each other in an effort to rack up ride-to-work trips and mileage, has wrapped up more than 250 cyclists in and around Steamboat.
All together, they've already registered more than 10,000 miles in the first two-thirds of the month.
A party for bike commuter challenge participants is set for June 30 at Cottonwood Grill, and free coffee will be available all week for bike commuters from Lil House, Amante, Creekside, Freshies and Winona's.
Golf classes offered
Steamboat Springs High School golf coach and certified golf instructor Steve Dodson will teach local boys and girls an overview of the game during a workshop that runs from 9 a.m. to noon Wednesday and Thursday.
The lessons are Steamboat Golf Club.
The session is for beginner and intermediate players from ages 7 to 12.
Covered topics include short game, putting, posture, grip, alignment and rules.
Each participant also will play two holes with the coach. Practice aids and equipment are provided, as are refreshments and prizes.
The cost is $85 per student. Registration is limited to the first 12 students who sign up. Call 970-879-4295.
An intermediate and advanced session for golfers ages 8 to 15 will be held from July 20 to 21.
