We met our tour guide at 9am today and set out for Sao Paulo Botanical Garden to walk around for a couple hours. Lindsey had tried, tried, and tried once again to make contact with the garden, but had heard very little in response, and so we arrived thinking we were there only to see some pretty sights. We couldn't have been more wrong. Unbeknownst to us, Lindsey's emails had beeen heard and we were met by a team of employees who were there to escort us through the garden. Our entourage included Nelson, an administrator in the education department, Rafael, an intern at the garden, and Adib, a seasonal worker who volunteered to be our translator.
The garden is partnered with the Botanical Institute of Sao Paulo, and therefore has a large research component as well as acres of beautifully maintained grounds. Sao Paulo BG was and the Institute were originally created by the state to help preserve the State Park and watershed in the area. The focus of the garden is around conservation and preservation of the natural flora of Sao Paulo and has a very active plant-rescue program to help save plants from construction projects around the state. Most recently they rescued a large group of Cyathea (tree ferns) from a highway construction project, which they replanted near the main entrance for a stunning affect. It is remarkable to see what we call "indoor plants" growing in large quantities outside.
As we continued through the gardens and conservatories, we found ourselves in an ever-growing number of school groups. Nelson explained that there is a kindergarten on the grounds which frequently brings the kids onto the grounds, but also Sao Paulo Botanical Garden hosts over 35,000 children a year for local public schools. Students come to explore and to learn about the different ecosystems in Brazil and how each one is important. At the garden, visitors have the opportunity to explore a çerrado (savanna) ecosystem inside one of the greenhouse, walk on an elevated pathway through a preserved Mata Atlantica (Atlantic Rainforest) and to learn about native orchids, bromeliads, and trees found throughout the entire country. By the end of the morning I think we all had a much better understanding of Brazilian ecology, thanks to Sao Paulo Botanical Garden.
We then said farewell to Nelson and Rafael, and went with Adib to have lunch at the café located on the grounds. After lunch we got permission from the Director of the Garden to go into the research facilities located on the grounds. Though it was summer and many employees were on vacation, we were able to meet with some researchers from the mycology department, the seeds physiology department, and the orchid department. We even got to go into their orchid house, which holds one of the largest collections of orchids in Brazil.
We had originally planned to stay at the garden for only about three hours, but by the time we left it had been 6 hours, and we could have stayed longer for there was more to see.
Our driver picked us up and then we headed off to Parque Ibirapuera, which translates to Rotting Tree Park. This park was built on a swamp and for many years the city could not get trees to grow, they would just rot – hence the name. It was not until they started planted eucalyptus trees to absorb the moisture that the park was fully implemented. Ibirapuera park is now a beautiful public park full of residents running, walking, biking, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoors. Our new friend Adib, who agreed to come along with us from the botanical garden, showed us around and made sure that we all got back to our hotel afterwards since our tour guide had to leave before we were ready to go.
It was a wonderful day of walking and enjoying nature. Luckily we weren't flying out that night since I think we all needed a good night sleep.

MonkeyPaw - Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - linkSame thing as always. Intel pushes a new standard, then waits a few chipsets to integrate it. That way even the board you haven't even bought yet will be outdated. Considering how little today's chipsets actually do, this is even more obsurd. I admire Intel for their CPU designs, but I loathe their chipset schedule. Reply
Hrel - Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - linkI agree Reply
jeff11 - Sunday, July 10, 2011 - linkyes Reply
gevorg - Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - linkSadly this is true, which is why I will avoid Thunderbolt as much as possible and use USB 3.0 Reply
michael2k - Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - linkHow are you going to avoid Thunderbolt if the platform you want happens to have Thunderbolt? Reply
Exodite - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - linkMany motherboards today still come with Firewire ports, that doesn't mean you have to buy devices to plug into those ports just because.
Unless Intel integrates Thunderbolt natively in the chipset I doubt we'll see that many devices making use of it. Reply
softdrinkviking - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - linkyeah, and wasn't intel hinting that they are going to actually push the optical implementation of lightpeak/thunderbolt sometime next year?
maybe intel is holding off on integration until they get closer to the optical implementation.
i guess we might hear about it at IDF later this year if intel so chooses to grace us with that info.
seriously starting to get tired of intel's secrecy tactics. Reply
gevorg - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - linkLet me guess... hmm.... Oh yeah, I won't use Thunderbolt connection even if its there! Reply
MobiusStrip - Friday, June 03, 2011 - linkWhy would you "avoid" it? It's not like it detracts from any other aspect of the computer.
WTF? Reply
MobiusStrip - Friday, June 03, 2011 - linkGood job, Intel. Compound the widespread ignorance and FUD already surrounding Thunderbolt with this stupid maneuver.
They never learn. Last time around, Intel reps literally pretended not to know what Firewire was. When asked at SIGGRAPH when they were going to integrate it into their motherboards, they smugly retorted, "Isn't that some Apple thing?" This was about a decade ago, when there was no alternative to Firewire.
Now there is, and it's from Intel. But there simply not going to put it out.
Pathetic. Reply
MobiusStrip - Friday, June 03, 2011 - linkThat should be: THEY'RE simply not going to put it out. Reply
epobirs - Saturday, June 04, 2011 - linkPerhaps you've forgotten but FireWire WAS some Apple thing. There is a reason why it's known as 1394 most places. And it wasn't Intel that made FireWire an also ran outside of niche applications. You can look to Steve Jobs, another Apple thing, for that. He demanded absurd royalties per port for FireWire implementations that guaranteed nobody was going to put it in their chip sets except Apple. Job eventually relented on the price but by then work was well underway on USB 2.0.
The fact is, the bulk of PC buyers don't know yet what to do with Thunderbolt. Building up interest and applications with it as a PCI-e card or motherboard subsystem is a perfectly fine way to get the standard into the market. Until there is real market demand it would just serve to drive up the price of chip sets for little benefit to most.
Think about it. If you had Thunderbolt in your system tomorrow, what would you do with it that you cannot achieve by other existing means? It improves things and opens up some new possibilities but the world needs time to react. Intel doesn't want a repeat of the 90s when millions of machines went out with USB 1.0 ports that never saw any use. Reply
AmdInside - Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - linkI don't mind. I wasn't going to go out of my way to get a motherboard with Thunderbolt. USB 3.0 yes. Thunderbolt meh. Reply
MobiusStrip - Friday, June 03, 2011 - linkand up with underperforming, processor-burdening USB. Reply
Wwhat - Saturday, June 04, 2011 - linkYou might want to read up on what USB3 brings new in its specs, they were aware of the issues with USB2 and that it was not a matter of just raising the numbers/frequencies and they added modes to it. Reply
jb510 - Thursday, June 02, 2011 - linkI was wondering how this could be possible based on how big the thunderbolt chip in the MBPs is, seems like a lot of extra silicon to include... maybe I'm naive though and this isn't really an issue. Reply
OneArmedScissorB - Friday, June 03, 2011 - linkThat was my first thought, as well, but if it's currently 65nm, they could easily cut it in half, along with the current 65nm southbridges, and merge them together for a fairly normal size chip.
If they really wanted, they could even build just the southbridges with Thunderbolt at 32nm and charge more for them, while the rest stay a node or two back.
It's entirely possible, but they just don't seem to care to make anything of the silicon they are saving as of late. Reply
jb510 - Friday, June 10, 2011 - linkNice to know I wasn't completely alone in that thought :)
Thanks for the extra info too. Reply

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga was fined $15,750 for his hit on New York Giants wide receiver Domenik Hixon during the first quarter of a 31-13 Bengals victory last Sunday. The play drew a 15-yard penalty for unnecessary roughness, and after review, the league determined Maualuga "struck a defenseless player in the head and neck area."
Hixon suffered a high ankle sprain during that play as the force of the hit bent him awkwardly backwards over his leg/ankle. He would not return to the game and may miss several weeks.
Maualuga was later involved on another questionable hit when he struck running back Ahmad Bradshaw helmet-to-helmet. However, the league determined that Bradshaw, who was sent for X-Rays on his neck after the game, was not a defenseless player.
This marks the second time this year that an opposing player has been fined for an illegal hit on Hixon. In week two, Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Mason Foster was fined $21,000 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Hixon which resulted in a concussion for the veteran wide receiver.

Power thrust. Kiki knows that a whole lot of pleasure is coming her way. But she doesn't suspect how much there will be. It all starts quietly. Lingering caresses soothe her thighs and around her ass. Does she begin to feel her desires rising? That is the cue. She has shown that she is ready for the gift that is waiting for her. Eagerly she receives it. Now Kiki is exposed to the full power of her own passion. Before long she is shrieking in ecstasy. Her body overflows with lust.

Ok guys, it's my year to buy a BGE..
Chargriller is pretty rusty these days and it's time to consolidate. LOL
Been reading a lot of your posts and doing some research but two simple question seem to escape me..
1. If you leave the coal in the bottom of the pit to reuse, is it a long process to light it and get it ready for cooking? I am used to putting net new coal in the chimney and dumping it in the WSM or the CG duo.
2. When smoking how do you get access to add wood chunks?
3. Bonus question, I am thinking about the large with the table, a dealer near me has a BGE table with stainless steel on the top. Unless you guys say don't waste your money.

Missoni Fall 2012
Apologies for stating the obvious, but the weather in Milan has been glorious these last few days. So, although Missoni never could have known that in late February it'd be warm enough to stage the fall show al fresco, it would have been lovely if they had. It would have also suited the theme of the collection quite nicely which, as Angela Missoni explained during a preview, was about "a strong girl with a wild side who wants to fuse herself with nature."
There is always an independent spirit at the heart of a Missoni collection, and this season the rock in that girl's roll was more an actual stone as opposed to The Stones. Everything sent down the runway had an earthy thread, quite literally, woven through it: A straight, knee-length skirt was knit in a pattern resembling tree bark, long-sleeved shirts had the color and markings of river rocks, and one fiery orange evening dress had a thick trim of beading that was intended to look like oxidation or as if some glittering, glamorous organism had attached itself to the piece. The accessories took a similar path. Giant quartz pendants on gold collars were there "to protect her and make her part of the universe," Missoni said, while the cool, tall boots had leather backs and stacked heels that were stamped to look arboreal. (If you were wondering what role the sleeveless, latex mock turtlenecks played, they were there to evoke water.)
What was most appealing was the long, lean silhouette, strongest in the calf-length coats that polished all the roughness. Many had unfinished fur collars (almost like pelts) and embroidery fuzzily fused with the suede. That sewing technique was repeated on body-skimming dresses so that it appeared as if they were being overtaken by some untamed element. In the end it added up to clothes that looked, well, civilized.
For more information and a full profile of Missoni, go to Voguepedia.com.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – On Super Bowl Sunday, the Mustangs kicked-off the 2013 track season at the Surf City Half Marathon in Huntington Beach, California. Among the 14,531 half marathon participants, The Master's College was well represented with four runners, including a pair of alumni.
"We always look forward to running the Surf City Half Marathon," said head coach Zach Schroeder. "It's a fun venue to open up the track season and reintroduce ourselves to racing after our winter base training. For some of our athletes the race serves as an opportunity to hit a national qualifying mark in the marathon, for others it's just a test effort to see where our base fitness is at." Among the thousands racing along the Pacific Coast Highway Sunday, The Master's College distance squad proved to be among the best.
Stealing nearly half of the top 15 male finishes were current and former TMC runners. Joining four of the Mustang men's team in the top 15, were alumni and four-time NAIA All-Americans Anthony Pizzo (Valencia, CA) and Jeff Jackson (Newhall, CA), the 2010 Marathon National Champion. Among their age group (18-24 years), TMC runners John Gilbertson (Saugus CA), John Hurd (Fairview, PA), Camden McAlister (Saugus, CA), and Tyler Tockstein (Canyon Country, CA) finished 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th respectively. "It's pretty exciting to see the college represented in such a dominant way," said assistant coach Amie Schroeder. "It's fun to hear people talking about TMC because they recognize the level our kids are competing at."
Leading the way for the Mustang men was Gilbertson, the 2012 NAIA Cross Country national champion. Coming off nine weeks of strong winter training, Gilbertson demonstrated that he is fit as well as fast. Finishing second overall in 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 41 seconds, Gilbertson broke the previous TMC record for the half marathon, which he set last year. Running a 5:15 pace over the 13.1-mile course, Gilbertson looked stronger than ever, with eyes set on bringing home more national titles this May.
To compete in the marathon at the NAIA Outdoor Track & Field National Championship a male athlete must post a half marathon time of 1:13 on a certified course. Although he doesn't plan to compete in the marathon at the national meet, Gilbertson has already secured that qualifying time.
"I'm stoked about the possibility of bringing more athletes to nationals than ever before," said Schroeder. "Our kids have been training tremendously hard and it's exciting to see the fruit of their work."
Next up for the Mustangs is the Ben Brown invitational on March 9, hosted by Cal State Fullerton. The majority of The Master's College track squad will toe the line for the first time this spring in the men's 5000-meter event.

I would gladly buy a MacBook Pro but the fact that it's expensive is a no-go :/ I wish Macs were cheaper, sigh...
I am kinda upset because I just purchased my MacBook last Saturday. It was tough letting go of that much money. I am glad I did but did not know they were possibly coming out with new models or I might have waited. Hopefully the new ones don't have anything that I'm glad I didn't miss out on. Can't wait to get my iPhone 4s tomorrow to go with new MacBook.
Way too over priced for a personal computer. I own a MacBook pro, didn't pay for it though as I can not justify the price. I currently only use it for pro tools as my iPads get used 90 % of the time. I also have a windows 7 laptop that does everything the MacBook pro does and it cost 1/4 the price. But if you have the money to waste this is for you.
Zomg! I hope it's what I think it is! The reason I waited for MacMini...quad core. I've wanted a 13" MacBook Pro, NOT a ginormous 15 or 17 and NOT with a dual core. I hope so.
To those who say MacBooks are too expensive, I've two words: residual value.
I always get Apple Care on my Mac, and always change up at two years. So I sell a two year old machine with one year warranty, I normally sell for 50-60% original RRP.
How much is a two year old Dell gonna be worth?
Once you've made the initial investment Macs are nowhere near as expensive as they seem.
And.... Another thing worth considering:
I recently took my 22month old MBP to the Apple Store as the battery was showing 70% capacity. They dropped a new one in for FOC, even though the degradation was within acceptable levels for a near two year old battery.
Can't see a windows box Manu doing that.
Whilst Apple don't really value their iOS customerbase, and seem happy to piss them off whenever it suits, they seem to regard their Mac users much more, so look after them way better.
Again, all things to consider, especially if like me the Macs are in the work environment.
I've had my Windows PC for 5 years and I get people at school asking me all the time why my computer is so fast. It's all about the person who owns them. If you don't know how to take care of your computer, buy a Mac. I've never had a virus and i download everything. I know how to fix things, so my stuff lasts and it will run with these 2011 notebooks all day, at 75% the processing power. But i might get an ipad to subsidize some of the time i spend emailing, and being online.
Also, who the hell cares about resale value when the PC can be had for 300 dollars?? And you won't find windows replacing your batteries for you because it takes 2 seconds to do it yourself...
Despite being the person who lives of repairing stuff, and managing IT of others i went to Mac in 2006.
See, i prefer my computer not being in need to be taken care of. "It just works. ©" And instead of wasting time on management of my computer, which is a primarily my tool, again, i enjoy life, play, work whatever... And this all is worth much more, than the difference in price you pay.
And, btw, brand laptops are not that much cheaper than apple. Best 15" DELL XPS-Z is being sold for ~1900$ with dual core, whilst MBP for ~2500$ with quad-core. So the extra you pay for the bitten apple, in the light of things i've just stated, is simply negligible.
And why XPS Z and not the other? It is the closest thing i could have found to aluminum unibody, because i was looking for a laptop for myself a few weeks ago, just to see, whether it would be better to go for non-apple machine and do a hackintosh. 600$ diff in price is simply not worth the trouble in this specific case. As to the others - plastic, plastic, plastic... Yeah, MacBooks were plastic too once, i'm happy they are not now.
So to the topic, this upgraded 2011' MPB would be just the refresh i was waiting for, excellent. And i'm rather interested in cypher capabilities of newer bluetooth release, as i'm very skeptical to the BT keyboard input security.

Umm...well i've only been attacked once. They like to pull your hair if it's up in a ponytail bouncing around, I think it drives them a little crazy...which is why I got my hair cut really short last year. It's growing out a bit, and should be even longer by the time of the marathon, so i'm a bit worried.
They kind of like me there though. My theory is that it was a mistake that I was attacked. They didn't recognize me that day. Or maybe the monkey was new? Not sure.
I've heard that severe bruising and ripped clothing is a possibility. Not blood though, maybe scratching without breaking the skin? I dunno. Take your chances.

What if images produced from PDFs within the timeline of LiveCycle need to all be the same size? PDFs that are the same size, dimension-wise, can turn out as images of different sizes after processing with the toImage activity. For example, two PDFs could be 8.5 x 11 inches in size. But one would convert to an image that is 1700 x 2200 pixels in size and the other would convert to an image that is 2550 x 3300 pixels in size.
Use the same DPI argument for each of the PDFs. The resulting images will not be an exact match with one another, however. In my test a variation of ten pixels or so could be seen as the result of differences in the areas of the PDF page that are converted to image. But PDFs that are the same dimensions before conversions result in images that are the same pixel height and width (or very close to it).

We've all been there. You've locked yourself out of your house. Now you need a locksmith.
"Over the phone they would be quoted a price of around $50 then after the locksmith showed up they would get a story about how they had a unique lock or more difficult," explained U.S. Postal Inspector Dan Taylor.
Once the homeowner was let back in, they would be told the price would be several hundred dollars.
This price gauging scheme is common. In a particular case, suspects created bogus companies in the same city and advertised in the Yellow Pages.
"For instance if there were 30 locksmiths in one area, they would make sure to have 15 mentioned in those yellow pages - this insured the odds that one of the suspects companies would be contacted," explained Taylor.
Postal inspectors started following up on hundreds of consumer complaints in dozens of different cities.
"Nationwide there were thousands of victims and by following the money… we found the scammers made millions and millions of dollars," said Taylor.
Taylor offers advice on how you can protect yourself if you need a locksmith.
"Anytime, you are quoted something - even in an emergency service or not - you want to get that quote in writing. Because once that service is been done, you are vulnerable to price gauging," he said.
Another important piece of advice is to report the crime, even if it doesn't feel like you lost a lot of money.
"Whether it is BBB, local police, postal inspectors.. Postal inspectors draw upon many different sources in order to build cases to learn how many victims there are...," said Taylor. "However, if you don't report it - we have no way of knowing you are a victim in one of our cases."
According to a recent AARP article, locksmith scams are on the rise. The organization recommends you find a reputable locksmith before you need one. That way if you are in a desperate situation, you have someone you can call without the fear of being scammed.
AARP also advices you to:
- Avoid a company that answers the phone with a generic phrase such as "Locksmith Services."
- Be wary of locksmiths who arrive in unmarked vehicles.
- Get a written estimate on company letterhead and get a receipt after you pay.
- AARP recommends you find another locksmith if you're told the lock has to be drilled or replaced because a legitimate locksmith can unlock almost any door.

BALTIMORE — If this rust belt town needed a bib to catch all the sentimental tears shed at the last home game of iconic linebacker Ray Lewis, how is Baltimore going to handle the emotional breakdown when the Broncos force him into retirement as a loser?
Addressing teammates Sunday before facing Indianapolis in an NFL playoff game, Lewis made a promise, punctuated by a scowl: No way, no how did the Indianapolis Colts have a chance to win.
"Ray told us we were definitely going to win. It wasn't going to happen on his last day, his last game at Ravens Stadium," Baltimore safety Ed Reed said.
So I asked Reed: Will Lewis bark another guarantee of victory, when Baltimore again takes the field, next weekend, in Denver, against the No. 1 seed in the AFC?
"He's probably going to say the same thing," Reed said.
To a man, the Ravens seem ticked at the Broncos.
But, like Lewis, their very passionate but washed-up warrior, the Ravens now seem better at striking a pose than striking fear in the hearts of a foe.
Sure, Baltimore toyed with Indianapolis during a 24-9 victory. Big deal. The undercard matchups in the NFL playoffs are over.
Are the Ravens' arms long enough to box with Peyton Manning?
"If you've ever been in a fight with somebody and they beat you, you want to fight again," said Baltimore offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie, throwing back the shoulders on his 6-foot-8, 354-pound frame to appear as intimidating as humanly possible.
Last time we looked in on Manning against Baltimore, the result was so ugly that the Ravens should have covered their eyes.
The score was 34-17 in favor of Denver on Dec. 16. If it were a fight, the referee would have stopped the humiliation in the third on cuts that left Baltimore bloodied. Did Manning leave emotional scars on the Ravens?
"He didn't put his hands on me or nothing like that," joked Reed, the Baltimore defender with nine Pro Bowl seasons on his résumé and more than a few flecks of gray in his beard.
"We know what we got. (The Broncos) know what we got. We're going down there with all our weapons and all our tools. And we're coming to bang."
Giving Colts quarterback Andrew Luck a rookie tutorial in playoff intensity didn't make for much of a football game. But it made for one heck of a farewell party for Lewis, whose trademark "squirrel" dance is bigger in Baltimore than "Gangnam Style."
When Lewis tore his triceps in October, an obituary was written for his brilliant NFL career. Lewis refused to read it.
"I called (general manager) Ozzie (Newsome) two days after I got hurt," Lewis recalled. "I said, 'Don't put me on IR (injured reserve).' He was like, 'What do you mean?' And I said, 'Trust me, I will be back.' "
Blog: First-and-Orange
The Denver Post's NFL reporters post analysis, notes and more on this blog focusing on the Denver Broncos.
Lewis is back in Baltimore gear, but with a warning: When the Ravens leave the playoffs, he turns out the lights and goes home, never to wear No. 52 again.
Oh, Lewis can still dance. Put in the offensive lineup for a snap in the victory formation during the final seconds of the fourth quarter, Lewis did an encore of the "squirrel" to the roaring approval of 71,379 spectators.
But the question remains: How much does Lewis really have left as a football player?
The MVP-caliber season being produced by Manning at age 36, after missing more than a year while rehabilitating from four neck surgeries, is all the more remarkable when you watch the 37-year-old Lewis drop an interception. He botched a certain pick against the Colts, when the football rattled off the bulky brace worn to protect his weakened right arm.
Now it's Lewis vs. Manning. The greatest linebacker and quarterback of their NFL generation. Squaring off one more time. With the same, old feeling.
"They are always classic, I will tell you that," Lewis said of his confrontations against Manning. "It's just one of those chess matches. He knows me very well. I know him very well."
When the Broncos beat Baltimore, the rout was on as soon as cornerback Chris Harris stepped in front of a Joe Flacco pass intended for Ravens wide receiver Anquan Boldin. Harris returned the interception 98 yards for a touchdown late in the second quarter. What's more, Boldin did not make a single catch against Champ Bailey and the Denver secondary.
So it was stunning to watch Boldin do a Jerry Rice imitation against the Colts, hauling in five receptions for 145 yards and a touchdown.
Walking the hallway to a happy locker room, Boldin demanded to know: "Who are we playing next?"
Oh, he knew the Broncos are waiting for Baltimore.
"I'm really looking forward to it," Boldin said. "I was hoping we would get them."
I asked: "Were you hoping for a rematch, because the Broncos shut you down?"
Boldin replied: "Just because we lost to them."
Wow. Kind of crabby, don't you think?
Guess it makes sense. Baltimore is known for crabs.
Why, I pressed Boldin, does he believe it will be any different against Denver this time around?
The eyes of Boldin grew as hard and cold as blue ice.
"We'll make it different," Boldin vowed.

If the idea of making a lasagna as soon as you get home from work sounds time-consuming, never fear, this lasagna comes together with minimal prep thanks to a few store-bought shortcuts and my all-time favorite time-saver, no-boil noodles.
One thing you won't want to skip are fresh herbs. A heaping handful of parsley will impart a ton of flavor to the overall dish, so definitely opt for fresh instead of dried.
Combine freshly chopped parsley with 15oz of ricotta cheese, two eggs and about 2/3 cup of Parmesan cheese.
Mix store-bought marinara sauce with a a can of pureed tomatoes (or make your own tomato sauce if time allows) and layer with no-boil noodles, the ricotta mixture and fresh, sliced mozzarella.
Keep on layering! Top with any remaining mozzarella slices (I might have ate a few along the way) and Parmesan cheese. Cover with tin foil and bake for 30 minutes then remove the tin foil and bake for about 20 more minutes.
Let the lasagna rest (if you can bear waiting) before slicing and serving a heaping portion.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/8/2014 (1111 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It had been a week since an "armed and barricaded" standoff in front of 512 Stella Ave. led to shots fired and the death of its only resident.
Yet police hadn't released the cause of Andrew Baryluk's death, or much else about how police handled the tragic incident.
And police Chief Devon Clunis had said even less publicly. Nothing, in fact.
So Wednesday morning, I decided to send him an email asking him if he would answer some questions.
That email was sent at 10:55 a.m.
About an hour-and-a-half later, at 12:24 p.m., Clunis responded.
"Hello Gordon: It is my intention to provide further details on this incident in the very near future. I will ensure all media outlets are advised."
Just over 50 minutes later, at 1:15 p.m, the police public information office announced Clunis would be giving a media briefing "update" on the case at 3 p.m.
That was quick. And purely coincidental, according to what Clunis told me later. Still, it offered the perception of a timely response the family, the public and even the police would have been better served with a day or even two days after Baryluk died.
Not nearly a week later.
Finally, at Wednesday's afternoon news conference, Clunis did reveal the cause of death: a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
It's hard to imagine the autopsy, conducted late last week with homicide detectives present, didn't reveal that same outcome; a single shot of a specific calibre that is unlikely to match police-issue ammunition.
Clunis couldn't say whether that was the only shot fired from the suicide weapon found at the scene.
He couldn't even say what kind of firearm Baryluk killed himself with. And allegedly fired at approaching tactical team members.
There were other details offered. But from what I heard Wednesday, most of what the chief said - if not all of it - could have been revealed days ago.
Yet, here we newshounds were - six days later - taking the scraps of information our police "handlers" tossed our way.
What took so long?
"In the perfect world, we would love to be able to give you information instantaneously. But these are complex investigations."
Clunis's answer smacked of disingenuousness.
I told the chief about a Boston Globe brief I read Monday morning. It was about a state trooper who shot and killed an armed and barricaded man. The shooting happened Sunday, the day before.
Why don't we have the same kind of police promptness here?
"I'm not saying what we do is perfect," Clunis responded. "But, again, things happen very differently in the U.S. than they do in Canada. I'm not saying one is right or wrong. And I'm not saying the time frame is acceptable to everyone."
Clunis went on to suggest being prudent with the release of information was more important than being prompt.
"In my perfect world, yes, we would like to get you the information sooner."
Police in the U.S. appear to be aware of the need to offer as much information on police-involved events as possible.
The voting public demands it. Police get it and have for decades.
I asked if police had learned anything about being more timely with the release of basic information that isn't going to interfere with an investigation. Information that will offer more transparency. The kind of transparency and timely disclosures - I was thinking, but didn't say out loud - that don't make the public suspicious and leave the service looking as if it's hiding something, even if it's not.
After all, police recently cited transparency as part of the rationale for refunding more than $1 million in traffic tickets because they were wrongly worded.
But we still can't get the type of transparency we should when a man dies in a police-involved case.
Clunis responded by referring to himself as "very open and transparent."
That's not the way I saw it this time.
On a case like this, the chief of police needs to be out front when it happens, not long after a grieving family member is left to tell a radio show Wednesday morning it was "murder."
Finally, I asked the chief if the family had been told about the cause of death.
Yes, they had - that day.
In fact, the hour the news conference was happening, two homicide detectives arrived at the Garfield Street home of Baryluk's 66-year-old brother, Bill Baryluk.
Before they arrived, Bill's wife, Colleen, had been looking through photos of Andrew Baryluk as a younger man, when he loved to dress up on Halloween and have fun with the kids in the family.
"He was the life of the party," she recalled. "The brightest light in the room."
Then Bill finally learned how his kid brother's light went out.
And soon, he was angrily telling the officers to get out.
"It was not a good day for these guys to come," Colleen said. "Of all days."
No, the police didn't get their timing right there, either. Bill had just returned home from burying his brother.

rhx123 - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkNice to see some mini-itx cases actually attempting to be small. Not quite as small as Valve's case but that never seems to be coming to market in any shape or form.
Shame you can't just buy the case without the mobo it seems. Reply
flemeister - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkClosest case to it design-wise, would be the Silverstone SG07/SG08. Very similar internal design (PSU location, 2x 2.5" drives and 1x 3.5" drive, slim optical drive), but rolled over 90 degrees to look like a shoebox instead of a mini-tower. =) Reply
Belegost - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkI noticed that too, and it makes me feel this is a bit over-priced. Right now you can pick up an SG08, quality 600W PSU, slot load slim DVD, and a nice mini-ITX Z77 gaming board for around $350 - 400. I might pay an extra 100 on that for a nicely integrated design, but a 200+ markup feels a bit too much. Reply

internal chassis is nearly identical to the steam machine, and has the same console shaped form factor. and is a wonderful case to boot. Reply

flemeister - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkThat's right. The video on this barebones unit by OC3D/TTL shows a WD Blue 3.5" drive installed: http://youtu.be/mueZtZTqQ0U?t=3m44s Reply
romrunning - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkAre there any photos that show something else nearby so that you can get a rough idea of its size? I'd like to see it so that I can figure out if this might be a mini-ITX candidate for a later upgrade. I have a Silverstone SG05, and these pictures (based on the m/b tray area) make the MSI case seem a lot bigger. Reply
DanNeely - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkDon't the standard PCI slot covers and mobo IO backpanel cutout do that? Reply
karmacoma - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkI like it. I've recently been looking at mini-ITX cases, but have found few cases which can hold a GTX 780/780 Ti. Seeing as I buy MSI products already (my GPU and notebook), I wouldn't hesitate to pick this up for my next build. Reply
martyrant - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkThis would be a lot more killer if it supported watercooling...would love to see how a box like this with a CryoVenom 290 would do. Reply
Galatian - Friday, March 07, 2014 - linkThis!
I'm still waiting for a mini-ITX case with enough space for a watercooling setup. The new Silverstone Raven RZV01 comes close, but one slim 240 radiator is probably not enough to silently cool a bigger processor and a GPU. Reply
larkhon - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - link"I remember having one that boosted a Windows 3.1 machine from 200 MHz to 233 MHz if I remember correctly."
200mhz and still with Windows 3.1? 200mhz but bring us to what? 1997? 1998? sounds strange.
Last PC with a Turbo was my 486DX33, then the Pentium 120mhz was always running full speed, I don't think there was still a turbo (at least one we would use at all). Reply
DanNeely - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - link"Does anyone remember those old Turbo buttons PCs used to have? I remember having one that boosted a Windows 3.1 machine from 200 MHz to 233 MHz if I remember correctly."
Kids these days...
Originally pressing the button disabled turbo mode and slowed your computer down to the level of an 8086 or 80286 so you could play software (typically games) that were written assuming they'd only be run at a single clock speed and became unplayable on faster systems because they did floating point math in a loop for delays instead of using the clock to control pacing. Reply
cgalyon - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkI actually remember using that programming trick (math loops for delays). Didn't like it, but we didn't have a pause or delay command (tied to the clock) for a while. Was wonderful when we could adjust it to some non-variable interval! Reply
axelthor - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkIf I remember correctly de-turbo in its simplest form dropped the CPU speed down to the ISA bus speeds, which was 8 MHz for the 16-bit ISA found on 386 and 486, and 4.77MHz for the 8-bit ISA on 286 and older CPUs. Basically simple underclocking.
Later on (486 and early Pentium/i586) motherboard vendors implemented more creative ways to obtain the same result without actually lowering clockspeeds. Reply
anactoraaron - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkActually their GX620 and slightly beyond series notebooks had a 'turbo' button. It was more of a gimmick, and at least for me, would cause bluescreens more than actually increasing performance. Reply
Arkive - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkThis could be a great LAN gaming rig, especially with the integrated wireless. I just wish the P/S was a hair beefier since it's right on the lower-end of requirements for a GTX 780. Reply
flemeister - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkA bit low for the official requirements (that have to take into account ticking timebomb PSU's), but plenty in reality: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7474/analyzing-power...
i5 4670K + GTX780 (both at stock clocks by the looks of it?) At worst, 350W in 3DMark *from the wall*, so about 300W actually being used by the PC. Oodles, even for pushing both CPU and GPU to their limits. =) Reply
rhx123 - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkI run a 780 on a Bronze Silverstone SFF PSU and have no problems whatsoever, but I am not O/Cing my CPU. I also have to mechanical HDDs and one SSD in that rig and I can run Prime95+Furmark with no hint of anything arway. Reply
bunnyfubbles - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkits a shame about the branding (the dragon watermark on the side, and the big badge on the front) because it otherwise looks amazing
that being said, it looks like the badge might come off easily enough, but to find something big enough to cover that dragon on the side without making it look worse could be tricky Reply
Because0789 - Thursday, March 06, 2014 - linkPay that much of a premium for a case and they don't bother to paint the inside? Definitely makes me reconsider getting it. Reply
minijedimaster - Monday, March 10, 2014 - linkWay to expensive. You can build an entire low to mid-range ITX gaming rig for $600. With this you only get the case and mobo. Guess I don't get it, its a nice setup but not $600 nice. Reply
Hrel - Monday, March 10, 2014 - linkLooks like you could get fully functioning computer in there for about $1100 that should do everything anyone could possibly need. Hmm, SSD probably $1200+ depending on component choices. Still, I think it's pretty cool full power desktops are fitting in smaller cases.
Would also like a review though. I'd be concerned about a 270x running in there for long, I'd like to know for certain that it isn't gonna fry itself. If you guys could stress test a GTX750ti, and just keep testing faster and faster GPU's from there that'd be great. Really let us know how high end you can go on the GPU for a case like this. Reply
Dave Long - Tuesday, March 18, 2014 - linkSmall shouldn't be expensive IMO. $599 for a barebones is pricey. We need elegant designs that favor function first and form second for low prices. The $500 mini-ITX all-in-one should be the goal as it makes consoles mostly obsolete overnight. Reply

Fran_KD - Saturday, May 03, 2014 - linkhas anyone built one of these? I got one. I have just a little experience building systems and the cooler for this one seems like you have to remove the mobo put a spacer under the board (comes with but no reference in the instructions) and then screw the cooler in. Before I go to all the trouble of completely disassembling, I was wondering if anyone has experience with this case and the optional cooler (which came with my Canadian version). Just deducing from what I see, anybody know the actual instruction? Reply

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/9/2013 (1425 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Now that Breaking Bad is coming to its harrowing, heart-stopping end, we can see it, steadily and whole, as a morally complex masterwork, maybe the best thing that's ever hit our TV screens. We can argue about its weight and meaning. Is it the tragedy of a hollowed-out man? A critique of late capitalism? The melancholy death knell for the American middle class?
But maybe we should also take a moment to view it, just a bit, as a workplace comedy. Sometimes the series has been a workplace drama, of course, and frequently it's been a workplace horror story. But a narrow, crucial through-line on Breaking Bad has always been a black-comic boomers-versus-Millennials death match, a tricky human resources problem that takes on mythic proportions with the addition of Heisenbergian alter-egos, methamphetamine and Mexican cartels.
Breaking Bad has been so super-intense lately that we might forget that there's always been a certain amount of hilarity with our office odd couple, Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. Just think back to the old days, when the men's working relationship was still packed with Two Stooges slapstick and zany misadventures. (The dissolving bathtub! Walt's fly obsession! Jesse's belief that three bags of Funyuns constitutes a meal!)
These comic tensions are rooted in real issues. As Millennials flood the job market, interacting with stressed-out Gen Xers and boomer holdovers, there's an increased interest in generational dynamics in our workplaces. Management experts look at demographic characteristics to figure out how to get the best from everyone.
We know from Walt's "birthday bacon" that he was 50 when the series started. With his tighty-whiteys, his Steely Dan-Boz Scaggs playlist and his long, dull lectures on initiative, he's a classic boomer.
Jesse is adrift in his mid-20s, great at social networking, not so great at self-starting. He's a classic Millennial, though his quarter-life crisis will be more severe than most, since he's currently beaten and chained in a white-supremacist meth lab.
According to cheery HR professionals, the boomers and the Millennials can have a healthy, mutually beneficial work relationship, with boomers offering mentoring and steady guidance, while the tech-savvy Millennials bring energy, connectivity and adaptability.
Cynics, meanwhile, suggest that the Millennials are basically waiting for the boomers to retire -- or, um, die -- so they can get out of those unpaid internships and into real jobs. Meanwhile, boomers tend to condescendingly view Millennials as over-entitled, incompetent whiners, except when the boomers need help with their smartphones.
In its close concentration on the working relationship between Jesse and the man he rather touchingly calls Mr. White, Breaking Bad has swung between these extreme views of boomer-Millennial interaction.
Sure, there have been frictions, as when Walt forces Jesse to murder a rival chemist, or when Jesse douses Walt's carpet with gasoline and gets out his lighter. But despite all the misunderstandings, for almost five seasons these two crazy meth cooks couldn't live without each other. As the ever world-weary Mike Ehrmantraut once said: "Honest to God, what is it with you guys?"
A lot of it comes down to the beauty of work. In a TV landscape almost completely uninterested in honest labour, Breaking Bad perversely gives a lot of time to the nitty-gritty effort of meth-cooking. Some of the series' most dazzling sequences involve the gorgeous rhythms of Walt and Jesse's meth-cook montages.
When they're apart, it's not the same. When Jesse goes freelance and tries to cook with the hapless, tweaked-up Badger, he finds himself in the unfamiliar role of a disappointed authority figure. And as much as Walt berates and belittles Jesse, he never hits that perfect groove with his replacement assistants, whether it's poor, doomed Gale or Todd, that milk-fed sociopath.
That's why their increasingly fraught -- well, OK, potentially murderous -- relationship is such a waste. A lot of it comes down to poor HR management.
If only Walt had read a few business books, he might have learned that Millennials have a low tolerance for boredom (left to his own devices, Jesse plays with the office chair and inflates his cook suit with an oxygen hose), that they want to feel that listened to ("Yo, what about a magnet?"), that they like to find meaning and moral good in their work (like, say, not murdering children).
Walt might have understood that money isn't the only motivation for this often idealistic generation. Jesse, you'll recall, is happy with a mere $5-million meth payout, while Walt wants to hold out for an empire-building $300 mill.
And crucially, Walt would have done much better if he only realized that Millennials respond better to positive reinforcement than negative criticism. Gus knows this, which is why he sends Jesse on a violent team-building exercise with Mike, a kind of criminal version of professional development day.
Walt, meanwhile, keeps undermining Jesse as a screw-up, an idiot, a slacker dropout who's "only capable of working under my supervision."
Too often, Walt is only nice to Jesse when he's trying to manipulate him into doing something terrible. (And while Walt being the murderous Heisenberg is scary, Walt being fake-jovial is absolutely terrifying.) No wonder the two men have workplace issues.
Walt and Jesse's two years of negotiations, alliances, betrayals, power grabs and misunderstandings have resulted in a breathtaking body count. Their office politics may be extreme, but they are still recognizably office politics. And it's that tortured working dynamic that has led up to Sunday night's final episode, when we suspect Jesse and Mr. White's working relationship is going to break really, really bad.

|Classification and external resources
|257, 603-604
Testicular disorders can be classified as a disorders of the reproductive system which may result in endocrine sexual disorders.
The testicles are well-known to be very sensitive to impact and injury.
The most prominent diseases of testicles are:
- testicular cancer and other neoplasms
- swelling of a testicle, caused by hydrocele testis
- inflammation of the testicles, called orchitis
- inflammation of the epididymis, called epididymitis
- retention cyst of a tubule of the rete testis or the head of the epididymis, called spermatocele
- spermatic cord torsion also called testicular torsion
- varicocele — swollen vein from the testes, usually affecting the left testicle[1]
- Hydrocele testis - Collection of fluid around the testicle, like a water balloon. Completely harmless.
- anorchidism is the absence of one or both testicles.
The removal of one or both testicles is termed:
- Inguinal orchiectomy, in medicine (where orchiectomy and orchectomy are synonymous), and
- castration in general use, especially when done as punishment or torture, or as a catch-all term for orchidectomy in a veterinary context.
- Gelding in the specifically equine sense.
Testicular prostheses are available to mimic the appearance and feel of one or both testicles, when absent as from injury or as treatment for gender identity disorder. There have also been some instances of their implanting in dogs [2]
Other testicular issues:
- Cryptorchidism or "undescended testicles", when the testicle does not descend into the scrotum of the infant boy.
Psychological repercussionsEdit
Testes disorders can result in variious endocrine sexual disorders in the male. These are of interest to psychologists and can include:

Bill endangers teens
I just read the abbreviated May 9 Associated Press article about the STD treatment bill in the N.C. House. House Bill 693 would deny teenagers access to various health services if they do not first obtain written and notarized parental consent. These services include: diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV; prescription birth control; mental health services; and treatment for substance abuse.
In their decision-making process, the honorables have chosen to ignore medical and public health experts, who have spoken out in opposition to this amended bill.
Some of the groups opposed to the bill include the N.C. Pediatric Society, N.C. Medical Society, N.C. Academy of Family Physicians, and the N.C. AIDS Action Network.
It is naive of the honorables to think that this bill will encourage parent-teen communication. Family dynamics cannot be legislated. It is, however, foreseeable that teens will avoid testing and treatment in order to protect their own privacy.
Facts from the N.C. AIDS Action Network show that adolescents will be less likely to get tested and treated for STDs if they have to get parental consent. Every single state currently allows for minors to seek STD testing and treatment.
HB 693 endangers teens and poses a public health risk.
Deborah Buchanan, Leland
The writer is a registered nurse.
There is no longer any doubt of whom our Honorables are representing. It's Halliburton.
The last illusions that We the People have a say in protecting our groundwater are gone. The Halliburton lawyers don't want us to know what poisons they will inject into the ground for hydraulic fracturing. Wonder why?
The Honorables will pretend to apologize someday, but will it be too late for our kids to drink the water?
Al Davidson, Wilmington
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced April 29 that the 2014 hospice reimbursement rate would include an increase of 1.1 percent. The CMS announced the proposed "increase" because it cited the fact that spending on hospice services has increased 500 percent since 2000.
That sounds like great news and is fiscally sound, but a closer examination of the numbers reveals the real truth. The current sequester has already mandated a 2 percent decrease in all Medicare reimbursement across the board. That means that the actual reimbursement for hospice would decrease by almost 1 percent year over year, well below the actual increase in the direct cost of doing business next year.
Cutting the reimbursement rate for hospice does not reduce the overall costs for health care. In fact, new research published in March by Mount Sinai found that hospice enrollment saves thousands of dollars for each Medicare patient, and reduces emergency room stays and readmissions.
Patients need hospice care because of the positive impact it has for end-of-life care, as well as its impact for caregivers. Quality of life is improved, patients live longer than those who don't receive hospice care, and caregivers also see tangible benefits.
This is not the time to manipulate numbers, and in turn manipulate the end results for patients.
Hospice care needs a stronger investment ….

With some exceptions, your immigrant ancestors probably followed a two-step naturalization formula: declaration of intention (first papers) + petition for naturalization (second or final papers) = citizenship. As you'll see from this synopsis, the genealogical details produced during the process can add up, especially for later arrivals.
First papers
In this document, an alien renounced his allegiance to his homeland and declared his intention to become a US citizen. The immigrant could make his declaration as soon as he stepped off the boat. Pre-1906 declarations usually contain the immigrant's name, country of birth or allegiance (for example, an Ireland-born immigrant would've renounced allegiance to the British Crown), application date, and the applicant's signature. Few of these early records give more than the country of origin or the date and port of arrival. Post-1906 declarations of intention also included the applicant's name, age, occupation, personal description, birth date and place, citizenship, current address, last foreign address, vessel and port of embarkation, US port and date of arrival, date of application and signature.

Updating the firmware on Promise arrays is straight forward enough from the WebPAM. But what happens if a firmware update goes funky and you can't get into the WebPAM any longer (ah, the joys of beta testing)? Well, you can always download an older firmware and reload it provided you can ssh or telnet into the host. Download from http://www.promise.com/support/download.aspx?m=93®ion=en-global for your given model.
Then, you need the firmware accessible to the Promise chassis via tftp. A simple tftp GUI tool is available at http://ww2.unime.it/flr/tftpserver. Once configured, log into the Promise array and then use the ptiflash command to update the firmware. In the following command we'll use the -s option to identify the IP address of our tftp server and then the -f option to identify the name of the file (note that I've shortened the ptif file for this X30 to be just fw.ptif so I don't fat finger the multiple hyphens in a ridiculously long file name that I can't autocomplete):
ptiflash -t -s 192.168.69.30 -f fw.ptif
If the server can't access the file note that you have a tftp client binary that works much like the ftp binary built into OS X to test that you can access the server and the file from the IP address the X30 is using. If the file is accessible, when prompted to update the flash, enter y and press enter.
The update process is going to take about 15 to 20 minutes. If running the latest versions of the X30 firmware I recommend using Firefox.
