Benefit planned for former Bureau Valley grad
Friends from the surrounding communities are sponsoring a benefit on Nov. 10 for Lauren Hasbrook, a 2010 graduate of Bureau Valley High School. This benefit is to help defray the medical costs incurred when Lauren, the daughter of Terry and Jackie Hasbrook of Sheffield, underwent an emergency liver transplant on Aug. 28. Lauren was diagnosed with Wilson's Disease in late August but not before the disease had completely destroyed her liver. Lauren was in NorthWestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago for several weeks and is now home but continuing treatment.
To assist the family with their enormous medical bills, a not-for-profit group made up of friends from Buda, Wyanet, Sheffield, Walnut, Bradford and Manlius will host a meal, auction and dance on Nov. 10. All of the proceeds raised from this event will go to the Hasbrook family. The group is asking for the public's help and generosity to make the auction a success. If you are interested in donating an item for the auction or money toward this event, please contact Arvel Barnett at 309-895-3952.
Tickets for the benefit will be $20 per person which includes dinner and a chance to win $500. Dinner will be held from 4:30 to 7:30pm at Rediger's Auction Service in Wyanet with the live auction at 8 p.m. and then music to follow provided by Bar Stock Black. For ticket information, contact Pat Grieve by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 309-895-4531.

Meet Stacie Murdoch
Bejeweled Blitz Keeps Disabled Advocate's Mind Sharp
When 40 year old Sunnyvale, CA resident Stacie Murdoch was 19 she developed amnesia. "Basically, my brain was reset to that of a 10 year old," she explains. "I developed epilepsy as a teenager and a series of seizures and some blows to my head during them led to the amnesia at 19. I had to relearn everything: math, social skills, all of high school. I basically had to rebuild my brain." Part of Stacie's recovery included a heavy dose of puzzles and games that engaged her brain in nontraditional ways and helped her to reforge the neural pathways damaged by the seizures. Now working at San Jose State University as an employment specialist for people with disabilities, Stacie has not only more than recovered the life skills she lost at 19 but has seen the epilepsy that plagued her disappear from her life. Still, keeping her mind sharp remains a priority for her and that's one of the main reasons she keeps playing Bejeweled Blitz on her iPhone. "Ever since I went back to college I've been very conscious about strengthening my brain," she says matter-of-factly, "And Bejeweled Blitz forces me to be very conscious of the board. It's a very different type of exercise that I think strengthens my brain, forcing me to think quickly and find solutions."
Not that Bejeweled Blitz is all work and no fun for this married mother of two rambunctious kids aged 2 and 4—she finds the game to be a quick, efficient stress reliever. Over the course of a typical week, Stacie will log about two hours of time with the game. "I play it to pass time and to get my mind off the stresses of the day," she says, smiling. While she's fairly devoted to the game nowadays, it took her awhile to warm up to it. Her husband introduced her to Blitz and since she had been a longtime fan of classic Bejeweled on her cell phone, she decided to give the Facebook version of the game a whirl. "At first, I was frustrated because my one minute was up and I still had more moves!" she laughs. "But as I played it more, I began to appreciate the short, quick games. I had a feeling of accomplishment (especially when I got a high score) because the game didn't go on for days like Bejeweled can. So the first thing that frustrated me about Bejeweled Blitz has actually become the thing I appreciate most about it."
Stacie's personal leader board is packed with 47 other Bejeweled Blitz fans, but these days the focus among the group is less on competition and more on playing just for the sake of having fun—there's a lot less trash-talking online these days. "Sometimes I am in a very competitive mood and I try to play until I just get into the top 10 or top 5. Other times I couldn't care less and I just play to play," she says with a shrug. "After all, I don't play with some grand strategy, I just wing it." She also plays mostly on her iPhone, having moved away from the Facebook version. The iPhone game has one advantage over the computer version: it's a whole lot more convenient to play during her family's frequent camping trips.
While her struggle with amnesia is now well behind her, it still informs her life; in fact, she actually reaps rewards from that difficult time. A job manning the front desk at the San Jose State University's career center eventually led to the University offering her the more specialized role she fills now. "I had graduated with a degree in advertising because it seemed fun and interesting at the time, but ultimately it didn't fit. Once I got a job at the career center and started helping the disabled, I found I related to them more than I even knew. I get it."
Although Stacie's epilepsy and resulting amnesia stopped being an active factor in her life at 23, the experience continues to affect her but in a positive way this time around. It fuels her commitment to her job, her devotion to her young family, her enjoyment of life…and it makes unwinding with Bejeweled Blitz something more than a guilty pleasure.

The term "thin client" usually brings to mind a screen and keyboard combination, or maybe a tablet or smartphone. Dell Wyse Cloud Connect takes the idea a few steps further. It's a $129 (retail), Android 4.1.2-powered device the size and shape of a USB stick that lets you turn any any MHL or HDMI-connected display into a thin client.
It also looks like one of the few positive examples of how to add management functionality to a business-grade Android device -- which has long been an issue for Android generally, solved through only a patchwork of manufacturer-specific solutions. But as a thin client, Cloud Connect might have trouble standing apart from commodity mobile hardware.
Originally known as "Project Ophelia," Cloud Connect doesn't limit the user to one kind of thin client connectivity, either. Clients can access systems via Citrix, Microsoft RDP, VMware thin clients, the Web itself, or through the wealth of apps available in the Android app store are built into the device.
What's striking about Cloud Connect isn't just that it's a portal on a stick. It's also an easy-to-manage business Android device on a stick thanks to Dell's Cloud Client Manager portal provided free with the device. Android device management in enterprises has been more or less left to the device maker (Samsung's Knox containerization technology) or abandoned to third parties (3LM). Cloud Client Manager doesn't change that picture for Android overall -- the client management software in question is an acquisition from Wyse, and Dell is likely to keep it close to its chest rather than make part of Android as a whole. At least here the management of the device is part of the package, not an afterthought.
The device itself is pretty straightforward technically. Power is supplied to the device via USB, and audio is piped out from the device's HDMI connection to whatever audio sources are available through the display. You'll have to supply your own Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, but there's 8GB of local storage, expandable to 40GB total, which makes it well-suited to both modest business use and even personal applications.
Gadgets in this vein have been surfacing for a while, although typically without the management tools or the business slant. FXI Tech's Cotton Candy, for instance, uses a quad-core ARM system-on-chip to run Android as both a local OS and as a thin client environment. But Cotton Candy required too much heavy lifting on the part of an administrator to be truly useful. It was closer to a hobbyist's solution, like the Raspberry Pi, than a full-fledged thin client ready for enterprise use.
Again, the main obstacle Dell may run into with this device is whether or not it's easier for enterprises to work with existing tablet and smartphone hardware than it is to use Cloud Connect. Granted, Cloud Connect has the advantage of being self-contained, but using an existing smartphone or tablet as a thin client seems like it'll be far more convenient than repurposing existing HDMI displays.
Whatever Dell's ambitions for Cloud Connect, it looks like other companies believe they can also find a market for such devices. Not long after Cloud Connect was announced, thin client outfit Devon IT announced its own $89 Ceptor, a conceptually similar device. It doesn't run Android -- instead, it uses its own Linux-derived ZetOS -- but it also sports a client management suite and uses a highly minimal, locked-down configuration to simplify device security.
The real competition for this space, then, isn't likely to be in terms of the hardware. Making a cheap and powerful Android system on a stick has been not only possible but easy for some time. What'll really set any one of these devices apart, then, is how well it can be managed -- and whether or not a discrete market can be found for it that isn't already covered well by existing mobile hardware.

John Wall has not lived up to the hype that came along with the expectations he was placed under after being the No. 1 pick in the 2010 Draft, but he will be eligible for a contract extension this offseason as he enters the final year of his rookie deal.
And in Wall's eyes, he is a max player and worth that contract from the Washington Wizards.
"I feel like I am. I do, definitely," Wall said.
Still, Wall has not started thinking about a possible extension.
"Look, I'm just enjoying D.C," Wall said. "This hasn't been going the way we wanted it to, in terms of winning, but I think we are building something here."

Cotton On Kids has been fined $1 million for selling children's nightwear that breached fire safety standards.
Justice Richard Tracey of the Federal Court in Victoria ordered the discount children's clothing store to pay the Commonwealth $1 million within 15 months and contribute $5000 towards legal costs, following action by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
The court also ordered that Cotton On Kids and a related company Cotton On be banned for four years from selling children's nightwear unless it gets written evidence from accredited fire-safety testers beforehand. And that both companies establish compliance programs for three years at their own expense. The directors face jail if they do not comply with the court orders.
The ACCC became aware Cotton On Kids was selling unsafe night gowns and pyjamas in 2010 and the clothing was recalled soon after.
However, Cotton On Kids continued selling the pyjamas into 2011, according to a fast-track statement lodged by the ACCC in October last year. The ACCC found that a particular nightdress and pyjama-set were larger and burned faster than allowed by Standards Australia.
It also found that Cotton On claimed the items were designed within fire safety regulations when they were not, and that writing on its "low fire danger" labels were not big enough.
"Since the incident was brought to our attention in November 2010, Cotton On has worked diligently to address the concerns raised by the ACCC in this case,'' a Cotton On spokeswoman said.
"We take the safety of our products very seriously and want to reassure our customers that we have taken all the necessary steps to resolve this issue."
Justice Tracey agreed to the compliance program because it "is designed to ensure that there is a company-wide awareness of the respondents' obligations and responsibilities under the provisions of the Act which they have been found to have contravened.
The respondents employ a large number of staff and it is in the public interest that the compliance program be instituted so as to ensure on-going compliance with the Australian Consumer Law".
The $1 million penalty contains four fines. It includes a $400,000 penalty for selling 1105 nightdresses that were unsafe, $400,000 for selling 1131 pairs of pyjamas that were unsafe, $100,000 for the false and misleading representations made on the label of nightdresses and $100,000 for the same offence with the pyjamas. The ACCC could have sought a penalty as high as $4.4 million.
Justice Tracey agreed to the $1 million penalty proposed by both parties, noting that it was sufficiently large to deter other clothing retailers and that the Cotton On group is substantial enough to afford it.
He added that "Responsibility for ensuring compliance with relevant safety standards and the Act rested on senior managers of the respondents. They manifestly failed to perform this important aspect of their duties. The potential consequences were most serious. This is a factor which weighs in favour of a significant penalty".
The Cotton On group Cotton has 924 stores throughout Australia and employs 15,296 employees.

How I found my NFTE business idea.
By Maxine Colon
NFTE New England Student
My name is Maxine Colon and I'm currently a NFTE student, attending the BusinessTechnology Program at Keefe Tech in Framingham, MA. During shop, my NFTE teacher Mrs. Ellis introduced the NFTE Business Plan and encouraged us to start thinking of business ideas which was not as easy as it sounds! I started talking with friends and I hadn't even connected my real life to this course. Yet!
That same month, I was searching for a job. As I was doing so I kept running into problems. There was always something that would get in the way. I ended up applying at a Big Lots and, after filling out an application, was told that I had to be 18 because I needed to use a box cutter and I wasn't the legal age. Another job I applied for was at Market Basket. There I kept having to go back and forth to try to get my application in. I was told to come back that week or a week later. It was so frustrating. As this frustration increased, I was desperate to find a job and feeling as if it was never going to happen. Was there someone, somewhere to help?
I went online and looked up employment for teens and not one of the websites helped me. The jobs were either too far away or didn't interest me at all. There was no help with how to best apply and no one to talk to about how to help. And then, right in the middle of all this frustration and thinking, my idea to start an employment resource website for teens was born. This is not just any website, but a website that would allow teens to connect with others, gain valuable advice, and have fun while searching for a job. As a result, I am starting my business plan in my NFTE class. My site will help teens from the age of 14-19 find jobs, and so much more. Vistiors to the site will find great tips on what to do before and during the interview and even templates to help teens create resumes. All this would be modern, but professional. I would also have a blog on the site where teens could post and update others and myself about how the job search was going and if any questions popped up they could ask and have other teens help answer them and support everyone on their journey to success. And lastly, I would have the story of why I am doing this. I think all teens should have a place where they can feel comfortable and know that there are others out there going through the same thing.
What I am missing for my NFTE business and website is a name. Any ideas?? Please comment below if you have some ideas.

"If you haven't got enough brains to agree with me, then keep your mouth shut. From here on in, I'm answering all the questions — got it?"
Audrey Totter, one of the great noir stars of the screen in the 1940s, has died; as Matt Schudel noted in The Washington Post, "Totter, an actress who specialized in playing temptresses, dangerous dames and women harboring dark schemes in a series of movies from Hollywood's film noir period of the 1940s and '50s, died Dec. 12 at a hospital in Woodland Hills, Calif. She was 95. She had congestive heart failure after a stroke, her daughter, Mea Lane, said.
Miss Totter first set the screen afire with a small but sizzling part in the 1946 noir classic The Postman Always Rings Twice [. . .] Over the next several years, Miss Totter was in demand as one of Hollywood's sexiest and most alluring actresses, often playing cynical and malevolent women who, in the words of film historian Eddie Muller, 'had a heart as big and warm as an ice cube.' [. . .]
'For years nobody bothered with me — didn' t know who I was, didn't care,' she told the Toronto Star in 2000. 'Now I'm recognized on the street, I'm asked for my autograph, I get loads of fan mail. Who knew these movies would be so popular 50 years later? Maybe it's because the world isn't like that anymore. The fantasy of it. They painted with light in those days, it's a look that just isn't done anymore."
She acted in radio dramas before going to Hollywood and signing on as a contract player with MGM. After film noir began to fade in the 1950s, she acted in westerns and television, including a recurring role as a nurse on Medical Center in the 1970s. Miss Totter's final acting role came in 1987, when she appeared on an episode of Angela Lansbury's Murder, She Wrote. She continued to receive offers but seldom found anything that appealed to her.
'What could I play?' she asked in 2000. 'A nice grandmother? Boring! Critics always said I acted best with a gun in my hand.'"

With a campaign to tamp down gold, India's government may be boosting silver prices - but there are myriad contributing factors at play.
The BOE's stimulus will help boost precious metals across the board, but the biggest knee-jerk reaction will be seen in gold and silver due to their historical monetary usage.
Here's a precious metal that has its prices at historic lows relative to gold. Right now could be the time to buy it.

The price of gold may be flying so far in 2016, but the yellow metal is still trailing the miners plucking it from the ground.

Zelda Challenge: Outlands
The Thunderbird, a horrible guardian encountered by Link in the Great Palace of Zelda 2, has somehow survived and is out for revenge. Having lost the Triforce of Courage at the hands of its adversary, it has stolen the Triforce of Power and flown to the vast neighbor of Hyrule, the Outlands. In a world similar to yet completely different from Zelda 1, Link must track down the captured Tetrarch Fairies and, with their help, break open Ganon's secret golden vault where the creature now resides.
Link will face dangers and traps unlike anything Ganon had ever devised. His adventure will span 18 new dungeons hidden within a completely unfamiliar terrain. Zelda herself will make appearances to help the hero, providing items and sage advice crucial to the new journey. Link has become very skilled in his familiar world of Hyrule, but skill alone is his only advantage -- the land of the Outlands is a beautiful yet deadly world bearing no resemblence to his own cherished kingdom.
The Overworld
The locations of secrets, such as dungeon entrances, shops, and residents with clues are changed. Thought you knew which screen to find Level 1 on? Think again! Even the 4 shortcuts (found by pushing rocks) are in new places! And when Link exits these caves and structures, he doesn't just pop out onto the places where the old caves used to be. New exit coordinates have been set to reflect the new passages.
Secrets are now locked according to what quest you're playing. For example, the rock you push to find a dungeon won't move on the second quest, so you have to find a new entrance somewhere else in the world. The game allows each secret to be set to 1st Quest, 2nd Quest, both, or neither. So, many places where you can bomb, burn, push things and use the recorder are quest-specific.
The "waves" sound effect has been moved to a new beach on the opposite side of the overworld. Each of the shops sell new combinations of items, including the bow and the white sword. The prices of all items have also been changed.
The monsters are distributed differently now, sometimes even with new graphics to trick the player. You might find red bats that cannot be hurt unless they stop moving, because they're really those flying flower creatures. There are new places to find fairies, though a few of the ponds are far from convenient to visit. The monsters may simply appear (poof!) or walk in from the sides, depending on the new terrain. Most of the monsters have new graphics (including all bosses) and some even have new colors.
The screens where you can wake up a statue to reveal a stairway have been changed, as have the locations where the recorder can open passages. And whenever the recorder doesn't open passages, magic dust (like Zelda 64) will wisk you to a different location. The stepladder can be used in new places, and not on the screens where you used to use it.
The Underworld
There are 42 possible block, water & statue arrangements for the many dungeon rooms, and all but 3 are brand new. Examples of the old "rooms" include the entrance with the many statues, one with a horizontal river across the top half, boss rooms, the Triforce room, and many others. The usage of all these rooms in dungeons is also different.
The other aspect of designing new dungeons lies with the four directions of each room. It's possible to control which are always open, which slam shut when you enter, which are locked, which can be bombed open, which are false walls, which are false walls that play a tune when you pass through them, and which are real walls. As for the gates that shut behind you, sometimes they will open again when the monsters are all defeated, and sometimes by some other means. And then there are gates that close behind you and never open again, which are great for one-way passages.
Each dungeon has its own new color scheme. The new palettes give the underworld an entirely new atmosphere... Even some of the monsters (including bosses) have new colors.
The game allows for any item to show up in any dungeon room. Will there be bombs, or 5 rupees, or a heart container? The items are distributed in a totally new manner.
In ZeldaC, the old man has been replaced by Zelda; now she will be the one giving you advice in dungeons, as well as occasional items! Just don't hit her or she will shoot back! And no, you won't be rescuing her in the last dungeon...
Each of the dungeons in ZeldaC has a map that can be displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. No matter the shape or appearance of the underworld maze, the map represents it accurately (except for certain hidden rooms). Just like in the original game, Link is able to draw out the parts of the labyrinth he has actually visited, without data from the original game's maps interfering. If the compass is found, it will point out exactly where the captive Tetrarch fairy is with respect to Link's position.
Stairs can be pointed to other stairs, or to side-view item rooms, and can be associated with any of the regular dungeon rooms. The items in the item rooms can be changed to different items, and items can even be placed in tunnel rooms! Also, it's possible to control exactly where Link appears in any given room after exiting a side-view room.

Sheryl Crow on the Beach With Her Kids | Pictures
Sheryl Crow Is All Smiles on the Beach With Her Boys
Sheryl Crow hung out in Venice Beach, CA, with her sons, Wyatt and Levi, yesterday. The trio played in the sand and later rode around the boardwalk on bicycles. Sheryl let loose with her boys after getting caught in the middle of her ex Lance Armstrong's doping controversy, which he finally admitted to in an interview with Oprah Winfrey that aired last week. Sheryl told Entertainment Tonight that she thinks "that honesty is always the best bet and that the truth will set you free. To carry around a weight like that would be devastating in the long run." Sheryl added of Lance, whom she dated from 2003 to 2006, that "I know how hard he worked to win those titles, and you know, it was hard to watch." Sheryl isn't just in the spotlight because of Lance's drama, though. Since she's also an adviser on The Voice this season and will be working with Blake Shelton's team.

Research is an essential element in the objectives of universities, and research takes place at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in many forms. Research forms the basis of research-guided teaching at the Academy; as basic research, it is part of everyday life for artistic-scientific university staff and professors. However, research also, increasingly, takes on the form of projects and can thus be realized outside of the daily routine within explorative and experimental arrangements. Acquiring funding from third parties is especially important in this area, since the university is able to provide only a part of the necessary resources from its operative budget; it is not able to afford complete financing of the projects.
At the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the field of arts-based research, or the so-called artistic research, is gaining increasing significance along with the area of natural-scientific research such as materials research, color chemistry, and restoration and conservation. In the field of Austrian research, the idea at the base of this concept is described as the "development and complementation of the arts": research questions are worked out using artistic means, artistic-ontological interests are called up within scientific methodology; scientific research is deconstructed in its knowledge-producing role in the application to artistic contexts. The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna supports a whole series of projects from this area and continually strives to expand the field.
Project research makes it possible to conduct indispensible basic research and thus makes an essential contribution to international art-research discussions. Project research also allows early stage researchers and their research achievements to be presented in a larger context and allows project participants to finance their intended dissertations. The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna strives to makes early-stage researchers more prominent in their fields of project research.

The Amazing Camera Obscura!
Have you ever come across a computer from 10 years ago and find yourself wondering how anyone was impressed by such outdated technology? Technology has a short life in our day. But the exception to this is the camera obscura, a photographic technology that is over 1,000 years old and still manages to captivate our sense of wonder today.
For centuries, artists and scientists alike tried to figure out how to capture an image of the natural world. This ongoing pursuit eventually led to the development of photography in 1839. But before this, one fascinating invention along the way was the camera obscura, which literally means "dark chamber" in Latin. The camera obscura is a device that takes advantage of the natural laws of light to project an image from the outside into a darkened space through a small pinhole on one of the chamber's walls.
We at MOPA are thrilled to have a walk-in version of a camera obscura, which we construct outside the museum once a year in celebration of the Balboa Park's Science Family Day.
Come to MOPA on March 17 and you'll see for yourself the amazing abilities of the camera obscura to project a live image of Balboa Park using nothing but a darkened space and a small opening of light. It is nothing short of unbelievable!

Your boys on a one-game losing streak, play the second of a three-game trip that concludes with the Hyper Bowl Monday. This is the final game of 2011.
Henrik Lundqvist starts in goal. Otherwise the lineup is the same, which means Sean Avery (on waivers en route to another stint in Connecticut with the AHL Whale) and Erik Christensen are prucha'd.
If the Islanders are indeed interested in Avery, then clearly they are doing it for the clown factor more than anything else … because they could have had him at a quarter of the cap hit earlier and didn't. What changed? Has Avery become a better player by not playing? Or have the Islanders improved to the point where they're one agitator away?
And as for the Bergen Record report about the incident at the morning skate in Buffalo, there was a little bit more to it than that.
In case you missed it, tomorrow's Alumni game between the Rangers and Flyers old-timers has been switched from 1 p.m. to a 3 p.m. start because of a poor weather forecast earlier in the day. It's on Versus, which is also changing its name on Monday.
Tonight, Central Park and all of mid-town Manhattan, including Times Square, will be bathed in Flyers orange lights. They are going to paint Broadway orange, too. All of New York City's restaurants will be serving only cheesesteaks to honor the Flyers and Monday's game in Philly. And the George Washington and Brooklyn bridges will be renamed the Ben Franklin and Walt Whitman bridges. The Rocky statue is going to replace Ralph Kramden at the Port Authority.
Also, the Flyers logo will be stuck on the Waterford crystal ball that will drop at midnight on New Year's Eve. Bobby Clarke will fill in for Dick Clark.
Oh, and jerseys and wool hats are for sale. Not on sale. For sale.

Topic: FDA Approval of investigation drug triphendiol
Came across this and thought some might be interested
Jan 08, 2009 (M2 EQUITYBITES via COMTEX) -- MSHL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Marshall Edwards Inc (NasdaqGM:MSHL), a specialist oncology company focused on the clinical development of novel anti-cancer therapeutics, said on 7 January that the company has received Investigative New Drug (IND) approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to undertake clinical studies with triphendiol as a chemosensitising agent in combination with gemcitabine.
The company stated that the approval will allow a Phase Ib study of triphendiol in combination with gemcitabine in patients with unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic and bile duct cancers. A Triphendiol (NV-196) is an investigational drug, currently being developed as an orally-delivered chemosensitising agent, intended for use in conjunction with standard chemotoxic anti-cancer drugs for the treatment of late stage pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and melanoma.

• malarkey •
Pronunciation: mê-lahr-kee • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, mass
Meaning: Balderdash, blather, bunkum, claptrap, codswallop, crap, drivel, fiddle-faddle, flapdoodle, garbage, hogwash, hooey, hokum, horse feathers, horse pucky, humbug, nonsense, piffle, poppycock, rubbish, tommy-rot, or common, everyday whang-doodle.
Notes: This word dropped into English in the 1920s seemingly out of nowhere (see Word History). It is a lexical orphan, which means it has no derivational relatives, but there is one caveat worth mentioning: don't forget to insert the E before the Y at the end of this playful word.
In Play: We have bags of candidates for malarkey: "Flying saucers! Every story I've heard about them is pure malarkey." We find many such candidates around the office, for example: "Why didn't you show up for work yesterday? And don't give me all that malarkey about going to your grandfather's funeral; you used that one three times already this year."
Word History: Where this word came from is anyone's guess. There is an Irish family name, Malarkey, but no reason attaches the meaning of today's Good Word to this name. It has been suggested that it might be a borrowing from Modern Greek, where malakos means "soft". The R has been occasionally omitted in malarkey. But this word seems hardly the vocabulary of someone versed in the classical languages. It first appeared in print in 1924, in the Indiana, Pennsylvania Evening Gazette (12 March 13/1): "The rest of the chatter is so much malarkey, according to a tip so straight that it can be passed thru a peashooter without touching the sides." This is all we know. (I would like to thank our editors, Paul Ogden, Luciano Eduardo de Oliveira, and Mary Jane Stoneburg for their stalwart job of editing the Good Words every day. All remaining errors are solely my responsibility. And that's no malarkey.)

yyrkoon - Saturday, January 13, 2007 - linkI know technically that Solid State includes Flash or NAND type memory, but do these devices use Flash, or SDRAM ? Normally, at least around here, we do not call Flash drives "SSD'. Reply
mlambert890 - Saturday, January 13, 2007 - linkThese are not the SDRAM variety, they are flash. SSD drives (even the ones based on volatile memory) often use flash and the term is pretty much interchangeable. I mean they're all "solid state disks" yes? Reply
yyrkoon - Tuesday, January 16, 2007 - linkTechnically, yes, they are all solid state. However SDRAM drives offer better performance, and don't suffer from the "10,000 writes, and you're out syndrome". The only real drawback, is that if the drive ever loses power, the data would be lost forever. I think we all could figure out work arounds for this (such as RAID1 accross a SDRAM device, to a real HDD, etc), so for most of us casual users (and perhaps some in enterprise solutions), this isnt really an issue. Reply
chucky2 - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkThanks!
Chuck Reply
DigitalFreak - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkYou guys @ Anandtech think you could get a hold of one of the new Ritek SSD drives mentioned http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/09/riteks-16gb-and...">here for your test?
Prices seem to be quite a bit cheaper than the Sandisk, so I'm wondering what the "catch" is. Reply
PandaBear - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkNot only that. MLC has much lower duty cycle (erase cycle) before die. I have seen data on MLC life and SanDisk/Toshiba can get about 1000-2000 cycles erase, while Samsung can only do 500-1000 right now. I am not sure if I want a drive that can write only 500 cycles, even with wear leveling, on a 32gb drive, for windows. Reply
michal1980 - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkheres hoping to smart drivers/o.s. with a hybrid drives.
everyfile that just needs to be read, and very rarely modified should go on the flash porition for fast reading.
everytemp file/ swap file on a harddrive.
my concern would still be writes from stupid things. a file gets access the access data gets modified for example. Reply
Gary Key - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkThe price difference is due to the lower end drives using MLC NAND instead of SLC NAND Flash. We do not recommend using MLC NAND Flash drives as a desktop/laptop replacement due to the performance differences in write speeds. We will be comparing the two formats once the sample drives arrive in a few weeks. Reply
michal1980 - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkseems like every other year the psu needs a new cable. and now its for video cards.
Bhhaaa. Why why, why why. Reply
semo - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkit seemed not so long ago that the psu was one of the most mundane and long living components of a pc. now it is becoming more like any other component with stray standards appearing from nowhere for no reason other than profits.
i suspect cases are to follow suit. i'm not sure how they can pull it off but i'm sure we can rely on case makers to think of something. Reply
Visual - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkIf it's true that the BDC-202 drive will be only $400, this is great news. I was OK with the $1000+ starting prices of the first drives, but was expecting them to fall faster. Some models quickly fell to $700-800, but then got stuck and not changed much by now. These $400 devices sound much more like something I could afford, here's to hoping that LG's BD/HDDVD hybrid drive will also be in this price point. Reply
Visual - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkJust realised this drive is a reader only, can hardly believe this crap.
And to think how happy and enthusiastic I was for a minute in my delusion, only to be ruthlessly brought back into the cruel cold real world... Reply
bnme - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkReader only, IMO, is fine... I mean, seriously, I just want to use my PC to watch Blu-ray and HDDVD, and most drives that are out (not many of them), are all writers and expensive relative a normal DVD burner.
Why splurge on stuff you don't need right away. Bluray and HDDVD reader for the movies is probably what a lot of people are looking for right now. Reply
DigitalFreak - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkYou can already get a Blu-ray burner (lite-on, I believe) at Newegg for $569. Reply
jnmunsey - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkThe English in the Sandisk article has to be some of the worst I have ever read, and "Gary Key" doesn't sound like an ESL name.. Reply
Hypernova - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkPage 2:
"Both units are designed for 24/7 operation at up to 40c with an 8285% power efficiency rating at 20~100% load."
This thing generates 80 times more power then it uses?! Reply
goinginstyle - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkThe text appears to be corrected now to 82~85%. Reply
KHysiek - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkI don't get this. Such drive would be usable even in Win XP, as cache, pagefile placement or other caching purpose.
Zoomer - Sunday, January 21, 2007 - linkI would rather use ram (ram drive) to store these useless files. The point of using nvram is to have it retain data even if powered down.
DigitalFreak - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/11/pqis-64gb-ssd-w...">There is one - here Reply
Gary Key - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkWe are waiting on a firmware update for the PQI drive. ;) The majority of current SSD drives have the IDE interface since they were designed for the industrial market place. The controller technology was also limited until recently which is a major reason why their performance has not been equal to most hard drives. The new controller technology has allowed the move to the SATA interface at a reasonable cost while increasing overall drive performance substantially when using SLC NAND Flash. Reply
Cygni - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkI know it says that the SSD drives could break 128GB by year end, but what about currently? There doesnt seem to be any mention of its current capacity. It has '5000' in the name, but that seems rather puny if its only 5GB, although still functional as a boot drive. Reply
DigitalFreak - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkhttp://www.sandisk.com/Oem/Default.aspx?CatID=1478">32GB Reply
Axbattler - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkIn addition to being very useful in the laptop market (lower power consumption/compact size and presumably less sensitive to shocks in transit), I can really see SSD drives challenge the performance desktop market currently held by the Raptor in the future. Reply
feelingshorter - Friday, January 12, 2007 - linkYea, no kidding. I have a 74 giger raptor and I love it, but SSD is the future. Nothing moving around, less watts, no noise, compact. Perfect. I'm just waiting for the prices to drop. Since the release of 16/32 gig SSD drives by samsung a while back, laptops in Japan already use them. You can buy a jap import laptop with a 32 gig SSD drive, and it does boot faster than regular ATA100 hard drive. Reply

As defensive end Osi Umenyiora walked off the field following a 42-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, he knew it would likely be his final time as a member of the New York Giants. And he savored it; blowing kisses to the fans and thanking them for years and years of support and love.
"If this is it … I am happy and proud to have played for this organization; this city," Umenyiora said on Sunday night.
Umenyiora said he would go home on Sunday and reflect on his time as a Giant, and think about what the future holds. He did that, and on Monday during an interview with Michael Kay, the Chief acknowledged that it was probably time to move on.
"I feel fortunate to be able to play 10 years in New York. It was a great run. I think now is probably time to move on," Umenyiora said. "There's really not much left for me to accomplish here in New York. We won a championship twice, I think I've been a Pro Bowl player. Everything has pretty much gone better than I could have imagined in New York. So if there is a time to leave, it probably would be now but there is no telling what would happen."
Despite his public feud with General Manager Jerry Reese over a new contract, both parties have maintained their love an admiration for each other. And on Monday, Reese had some very high praise for the veteran defensive end.
"Osi has been a terrific player for us. He's one of my all-time favorite players in the National Football League," Reese said. "Not just Giant, all-time favorite players."
Reese added that he's "got a lot of good football left in him," but wouldn't say much beyond that.
It's clear that the two sides are going to part ways, much to the chagrin of head coach Tom Coughlin who said on Sunday that he'd much rather play with Umenyiora than against him, but all good things must eventually come to an end. So Umenyiora will end his Giants career having won two Super Bowl championships, been named to the Pro Bowl twice, been a two-time All Pro, the NFL sacks leader in 2005, the NFL record holder for forced fumbles in a single season (10), and the franchise's single-game sacks leader (6).

19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, Peace be with you. 20After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21Jesus said to them again, Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you. 22When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.

My My Misfire, 'Get Your Fix' – Free MP3 Download
You can call My My Misfire sleaze rock, but it might actually just be sleaze. Straight wit no "rock" chaser. "I wrote it specifically for strip clubs, no joke," drummer and founder Aaron Birdsall told Diffuser.fm, describing 'Get Your Fix,' today's free MP3.
The dingy anthem is exactly what you'd imagine playing on a black-lit stage with a silver pole, spotlights criss-crossing around the room. But this time, sniffer's row isn't full of old pervs and their crumpled-up singles. Minnesota's finest have the front row all to themselves, and they're throwing around hundreds like it's their job. Wait … where the hell did they get all that money?
We had to know, have any dancers adopted the song for their routines?
"Yup, Seville [high-end club in downtown Minneapolis]; some girls in L.A. and Vegas, too," Birdsall said. "The hottest s– I've seen was two girls giving me a lap dance to my own song while making out. That was pretty sweet."
Sweet indeed. So if you're feeling filthy, pour yourself a whisky on the rocks and grab 'Get Your Fix.' You can keep up with My My Misfire here.

Simonetti, M., Giniatullin, R., and Fabbretti, E.
Notes: These authors investigated the mechanism of action of the migraine mediator calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which is known to sensitize the P2X3 pain receptors to increase impulse flow to brain stem trigeminal nuclei. They showed that CAM KII inhibitors prevented CGRP-induced upregulation of P2X3 mRNA using real-time RT-PCR, and then confirmed that active CAM KII was involved in the signaling mechanism by staining with Anti-ACTIVE® CAM KII Antibodies. The immunoreactivity was upregulated by CGRP treatment of trigeminal neurons, and the distribution of the active CAM KII was localized to the membrane region. They then examined the mechanism of transcriptional activation of the P2X3 pain receptor genes and showed that the transcription factor CREB, which is known to be dependent on CAM KII for activation and nuclear localization, was involved. The authors also investigated the role of BDNF in the process, because CGRP is known to promote BDNF expression by trigeminal neurons, and because BDNF is thought to be involved in pain processing. They used the BDNF Emax Immunoassay System to measure BDNF levels in culture media after application of CGRP to neuronal cell cultures, and demonstrated that there was a fourfold increase in BDNF after CGRP exposure. They also showed that BDNF promoted CAMKII and CREB activation. (3873)

Borrell-Pages, M., Canals, J.M., Cordelieres, F.P., Parker, J.A., Pineda, J.R., Grange, G., Bryson, E.A., Guillermier, M., Hirsch, E., Hantraye, P., Cheetham, M.E., Neri, C., Alberch, J., Brouillet, E., Saudou, F., and Humbert, S.
Notes: This study showed that the heat-shock DnaJ-containing protein 1b (HSJ1b) and cystamine are neuroprotective in Huntington disease and act by increasing release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is critical for the survival of striatal neurons. Mouse neuronal cells were transfected with vectors expressing BDNF, HSJ1b, or with a negative control (empty) vector. HSJ1b was shown to significantly increase BDNF release. Treatment of cells with cystamine, a candidate drug for treatment of Huntington disease, also increased BDNF release. RNA interference experiments showed that in cells where HSJ1b expression was reduced, cystamine no longer stimulated BDNF release, indicating that HSJ1b was required for the protective effect mediated by cystamine. In all these experiments the amount of BDNF in the cultured cell supernatants was measured using the BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (3480)
Pearse, R.N., Swendeman, S.L., Li, Y., Rafil, D. and Hempstead, B.L.
Notes: In this study, the BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System was used to measure BDNF levels in heparinized bone marrow plasma from patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and in control samples. The ELISA analysis was used to establish that BDNF is secreted from primary MM cells in vivo. (3474)
Kermani, P., Rafil, D., Jin, D.K., Whitlock, P., Schaffer, W., Chiang, A., Vincent, L., Friedrich, M., Shido, K., Hackett, N.R., Crystal, R.G., Rafil, S., and Hempstead, B.L.
Notes: This study investigated the angiogenic potential of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in ischemic and non-ischemic tissues of adult mice. As part of this study, recombinant Adenovirus encoding rat BDNF was administered to mice via tail-vein injection, and BDNF levels in plasma were then monitored using the BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (3473)
Heerssen, H.M., Pazyra, M.F. and Segal, R.A.
Notes: This paper describes an assay to test BDNF dissociation from FluoSpheres (amine-modified microspheres, 1μM diameter; Molecular Probes). BDNF was covalently attached to the microspheres. Release of BDNF was tested in supernatants from the BDNF-microspheres in PBS, in complete media, and in culture with rat Dorsal root ganglia. Promega's BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System was used to determine the amounts of BDNF in these samples. The DeadEnd™ Fluorometric TUNEL System was used to examine rat Dorsal root ganglia cells that had been transfected with either dynamitin or β-Galactosidase. In the TUNEL experiments, cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and counterstained with DAPI. Cells were also stained with Promega's Anti-β-Galactosidase, Purified Monoclonal Antibody. For these immunocytochemical stains, a 1:500 dilution of Anti-β-Galactosidase antibody and a 1:1,500 dilution of a secondary antibody conjugated to Alexa Fluor-488 (Molecular Probes) were used. The stains were visualized by fluorescence microscopy. (3055)

Szapacs, M.E., Numis, A.L. and Andrews, A.M.
Notes: In this study of factors that may contribute to Familial Alzheimer's disease, transgenic mice expressing mutant amyloid precursor protein and mutant presenilin 1 protein were constructed. The levels and effects of several neurotransmitters and BDNF were evaluated by either HPLC analysis or by immunodetection using the BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. The authors describe a method for extraction of BDNF from mouse brain that gives a recovery rate of approximately 70% compared to 2-5% recovery with the standard procedure as given in the BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System protocol. (3121)
McGough, N.N., He, D.Y., Logrip, M.L., Jeanblanc, J., Phamluong, K., Luong, K., Kharazia, V., Janak, P.H. and Ron D.
Notes: The authors examine the role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in alcohol addition. RNA was isolated from primary rat hippocampal neurons cultured in the absence or presence of ethanol. The RNA was reverse transcribed using the Reverse Transcription System, and BDNF and GPDH RNAs were quantitated by fluorescent real-time PCR. BDNF and nerve growth factor (NGF) protein levels were monitored using the BNDF and NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay Systems. (3441)
Reverse Transcription System
Guha, U., Gomes, W.A., Samanta, J., Gupta, M., Rice, F.L. and Kessler, J.A.
Notes: To study the role of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) in the development of peripheral sensory neurons, transgenic mice were created that overexpressed either a BMP inhibitor, noggin, or a ligand, BMP4. To determine if the increased trigeminal innervation and neuron numbers seen in these mice were due to increased neurotrophin levels, the mystacial (whisker) pads of 3-day-old mice were tested for the presence of NGF, BDNF and NT-3 using each of the corresponding Emax® ImmunoAssay Systems. The results indicated there were no significant changes in neurotrophin levels except for a decrease in NT-3 in the noggin transgenic mice. (3337)
Maswood, N., Young, J., Tilmont, E., Zhang, Z., Gash, D.M., Gerhardt, G.A., Grondin, R., Roth, G.S., Mattison, J., Lane, M.A., Carson, R.E., Cohen, R.M., Mouton, P.R., Quigley, C., Mattson, M.P. and Ingram, D.K.
Notes: Adult male rhesus monkeys were divided into two groups to model the effect of calorie-restriction on the progress of Parkinson's disease. Caudate nucleus samples from both sides of the brain were taken 16–18 weeks after inducing hemiparkinsonism. Levels of neurotrophins were measured using the BDNF and GDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay Systems. The amount of BDNF and GDNF were compared to the total protein present in each sample and expressed as picogram per milligram units. (3335)

Notes: The BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System and the NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System were used to assay the levels of neurotrophinin in male Long–Evans rat brains. After cocaine consumption, brain tissue was homogenized and the BDNF and NGF levels assayed. (2805)
Seifer, D., Feng, B., Shelden, R., Chen, S. and Dreyfus, C.
Notes: The BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System was used with human follicular fluid, granulosa cell culture media oocyte, or embryo culture to measure the amount of BDNF. (2801)
Lever, I., Bradbury, E., Cunningham, J., Adelson, D., Jones, M., McMahon, S., Marvizón, J. and Malcangio, M.
Notes: The BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System was used with dorsal horn tissue derived from lumbar spinal cord of adult rats. The amount of BDNF was measured after electrical stimulation using low and high frequency pulses. (2800)
Woodhall E., West A.K., and Chuah M.I..
Notes: Transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells into lesions in the central nervous system is able to stimulate the growth of axons and in some cases restore functional connections. To investigate the mechanism, the authors quantitated the production of growth factors and expression of corresponding receptors by rat olfactory ensheathing cells. Levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, glial-cell-derived neurotrophic factor, nerve growth factor, and neurotrophin-3 were monitored using Promega's BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System, GDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System, NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System, and NT-3 Emax® ImmunoAssay System, respectively. (2318)
Yurek, D.M., and Fletcher-Turner, A.
Notes: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, and neurotrophin-3 protein levels were quantitated in the striatum and ventral midbrain of young and aged rats following a lesion of the nigrostriatal system. BDNF, GDNF, and neurotrophin-3 levels were monitored using Promega's BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System, GDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System and NT-3 Emax® ImmunoAssay System, respectively. (2324)
Das, K.P., Chao, S.L., White, L.D., Haines, W.T., Harry, G.J., Tilson, H.A., and Barone, S. Jr.
Notes: Regional and temporal patterns of neurotrophin messenger RNA and protein levels were characterized in the developing rat hippocampus, neocortex and cerebellum on postnatal days 1, 7, 14, 21, and 92. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor nerve growth factor, and neurotropin-3 protein levels were determined using Promega's BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System, NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System, and NT-3 Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (2319)
Gomez-Pinilla, F., Ying, Z., Opazo, P,. Roy, R.R., and Edgerton V.R.
Notes: The effect of neuromuscular activity on neurotrophin expression in the lumbar spinal cord region and innervating skeletal muscle of adult rats was examined. BDNF protein levels in the soleus muscle after exercise were determined using Promega's BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (2321)
Lambert, W., Agarwal, R., Howe, W., Clark, A. and Wordinger, R.
Notes: Used NT-3 Emax® ImmunoAssay System, NT-4 Emax® ImmunoAssay System, BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System and NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay System to monitor secreted neurotrophins from human lamina cribrosa cells and human optic nerve head astrocytes. After a 72-hour treatment with serum-free medium containing 0.5 mg/ml BSA, the media was removed and then assayed for the respective neurotrophin. (2796)
Jezierski, M.K., and Sohrabji, F.
Notes: The regulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, nerve growth factor and other neurotrophin ligands and receptors by estrogen was characterized in young adult and reproductively senescent rat brains. BNDF, NT-4, and NGF protein levels were monitored using Promega's BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay, NT-4 Emax® ImmunoAssay System, and NGF Emax® ImmunoAssay Systems, respectively . (2320)

Notes: Sprague-Dawley rat neuronal cells were cultured and exposed to hypoxia. The neuronal cultures were fractionated into cytosol, supernatant and ER-rich components, and the amount of BDNF determined using the BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (2811)
Perez-Navarro, E., Canudas, A.M., Akerund, P., Alberch, J., and Arenas, E.
Notes: A rat model of Huntington's disease was employed to determine whether neurotrophins are able to promote the survival of striatal projection neurons in vivo. Results suggest that BDNF might be beneficial for the treatment of striatonigral degenerative disorders, including Huntington's disease. BDNF and NT-3 levels in rat striatum were quantitated using Promega's BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System and NT-3 Emax® ImmunoAssay System, respectively. (2323)
Bhave S.V., Snell L.D., Tabakoff B., and Hoffman P.L.
Notes: Ethanol has been previously shown to inhibit the anti-apoptotic effect of NMDA. The decreased anti-apoptotic effect of NMDA was associated with a number of factors including decreased induction of brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression. Levels of BDNF in cultured rat cerebral granular neurons were quantitated using Promega's BDNF Emax® ImmunoAssay System. (2316)

Adding photographs to your posts adds another dimension to discussions. Questions are easier to answer when we can see the problem. Step by step photo's during a cook are invaluable to those new to outdoor cooking. And, a photo is indeed worth a 1000 words when showing the results of your efforts.
Use the following steps to add photographs to your posts.
(1) Store your images on your hard disk using the methods appropriate for your camera.
(2) Resize your image for display in forums. Generally images as they come from your digital camera are much too large to properly display. If you already have photograph editing software, reduce the size to 640x480 pixels or smaller. High resolution isn't needed. Images at 72 dpi are ideal for use on the Internet. If you don't have editing software, download this free software program.
(3) Upload your photograph to your choice of hosts. For example, ImageShack is a free hosting site. Registration is optional. However, if you register, you'll have access to all of your previously uploaded photographs. [SEE TUTORIAL BELOW]
(4) Image Shack offers the option of using Thumbnails or full size versions of your photo's in the forums. Thumbnails are small versions that display quickly in a post. Readers can click on the thumb nail to see a larger version. If you have several photo's to display in a post, using thumbnails is the best choice. This gives your readers the opportunity to select which images they want to further examine. And, your post doesn't slow down the forum's response time, as it would with several large photo's in your post.
(5) In order to post your photo, you'll need the address of the image at your host. Use your browser's copy/paste function to copy the address to your clipboard.
Image Shack Images:
For full size display copy the embeddable code for "Forums"
For thumbnails copy the Thumbnail code for "Forums" 1. (Thumbnails load faster on the forum and are preferred.)
(5) Paste the address into the body of the post that you're creating. When using Image Shack code, nothing else needs to be done. If the address of a photo doesn't have IMG tags, add them after you paste the address into your message. Highlight the address, then, click on [IMG] in the list of options for formatting your post.
For example to display: http://img466.imageshack.us/img466/2620/img0180a1fv.jpg
Highlight the link, then click on Img just above the message body block.
That will change your link to this.
License Plates
Read the above instructions for photographs.
(1) Create your plate at ACME License Plate Maker.
(2) Resize your plate (see instructions above), then upload to your host.
(3) Log in to our web site. Go to your PROFILE.
(4) In the signature field, paste the address of your plate. Click on Submit to complete.
Keep the file name of your plate very small. There's a limit to the number of characters than can be used in the Signature portion of your profile. Keeping the file name short will allow you more characters to give other information in your signature.
Each time you edit your profile, the changes take affect immediately on all of your prior posts. It isn't necessary to post to see the change. Simply check the last post you made to see the effects of your changes.
Other photographs may be included in your signature. When used in this manner, keep them small. Large images are disruptive to the flow of the messages. And, they slow down access to the form for people using dial-up access.
Additional photo tips:
To see the coding how-to in another post, open the reply box by clicking on the Quote option for their post. The quote will contain the coding needed for the image they displayed in their post.
If you still have questions or problems posting photo's and license tags, please feel free to post your question in our General Discussion Forum.
ImageShack Tutorial
First go to www.imageshack.com . No need to login or give any personal information unless you choose to. Membership has additional features, if you are not a member or do not login then you'll need to copy & paste each pictures link one by one as you post them. This is important because if you are not logged in you can never go back and retrieve the link. I paste them into a MS Word document or Notepad and save the document on my computer for future reference.
Each picture has RED rectangles indicating the action on that screenshot.
Step 1. Click the BROWSE button.
Step 2. locate the picture on your computer and select it, then click the OPEN button.
Step 3. click the HOST IT button.
Step 4. Click inside the box containing the link "thumbnails for forums (1)" to select it, the link will turn blue.
Step 5. Right-click in the blue area of the highlighted link and select COPY from the drop-down menu.
Step 6. Right-click in the Word document or Notepad and select PASTE from the drop-down menu.
You should get a link similar to this:
Repeat steps 1 thru 6 for each additional picture. Now you're ready to copy & paste these links into your message on the forum! Hope this helps.

Questions About Substance Abuse Treatment ProgramsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
When visiting a treatment center to see whether the program offered there meets your and your family member's needs, ask the following questions.
About the staff
- Are the counselors certified chemical dependency counselors (CDC)? Counselors who are certified have special training in counseling people with substance abuse.
- Are any medical doctors associated with the program? If so, are they certified by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM)? Doctors who are certified have special training in dealing with people who have substance abuse problems.
About the program
- What treatment therapies are used in the program? Is it a 12-step program alone or does the program contain cognitive therapy and/or medicine therapy?
- How much time do you spend in the program a day, and how many weeks or months does the program last? Does the program have aftercare?
- What has been the success rate for people going through the program? How has success been evaluated (number completing the program, years not drinking)?
- Does the treatment program offer special services to meet women's needs, such as female therapists, female-only groups, or assistance with child care?
- Does the treatment program address any special concerns that a person from a particular culture or religious background (such as Native Americans or Catholics) might have?
Other questions
- Does the program evaluate and treat people who also have other conditions such as depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or long-term pain disorders?
- Are family members involved in the program? In what ways are they involved?

marc1000 - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - link"a menu in the bottom-right corner for easily bringing up recently visited sites". the Opera browser has this feature for what? 1 or 2 years now? but in it the button is in the top-right corner.
well, even Windows 7 copied some things from Opera, i guess they are one of the most innovative companies out there - but the users simply refuse to use their browser. or so it seems... (no, i'm not a fanboy, i have almost all browsers installed on my machine - I use IE/Opera and my Girlfriend uses Crhome, mainly to keep logins separated) Reply
Spivonious - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - linkOpera had tabs first too, IIRC.
Why not use multiple Windows logins? You get a much better separation then. Reply
marc1000 - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - linkbecause sometimes we want to acess both sites at the same time, like having both facebook accounts open and just cycle trough them with ALT+TAB.
and yes, Opera was first to have tabs, start-page with thumbnails, and a lot of other features. and yet it fails to gain traction and won't see double digit market-share anytime soon, like gevorg said. this is sad for them. Reply
legaceez - Wednesday, October 26, 2011 - linkthe thing with Opera is even though it's just as good or better technically than most browsers, it renders html and css to WCW standards as opposed to IE. even when it adheres to the standards though it does so differently than FF and Chrome sometimes. so even though it technically renders things correctly some pages won't look right.
this is an issue because web developers won't handle the case when it doesn't look right in Opera because it's market share is so small. they will do so if it is IE, FF, Safari, or Chrome though. Reply
marc1000 - Wednesday, October 26, 2011 - linkyeah, I agree on that... sometimes it just renders the page wrong. but there were an equivalent number of times that only Opera could render a page that caused problems on Chrome or IE.... Reply
Zoomer - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - linkUser accounts. Duh. Reply
gevorg - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - linkWho cares about Opera? This article is about Chrome, not some unpopular browser that never got any traction and won't see double digit market-share anytime soon. Reply
daniel142005 - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - linkYou should care, because Opera has been a HUGE innovator when it comes to web browsers. I personally don't (and haven't) used it, but that doesn't mean I'm blind as to what it has done for the rest of the browser space. I don't know why Opera hasn't been successful, but it definitely isn't due to the lack of features. Reply
marc1000 - Wednesday, October 26, 2011 - linkdo you know a thing that exists only in opera and no one copyed yet? mouse gestures. opera has this feature since version what? 6.0? like, 5 years ago? and no one has been able to copy them.
i bet that windows 8 will have some sort of mouse gestures, to solve the problem of using a touch-driven UI on a non-touch device like simpler monitors.
and everybody will say "wooooooooooooow thats aaaaawsome!" Reply
Omoronovo - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - linkChrome has always had the ability to view recently visited sites (and automatically stored groups of sites closed when you exit a window of tabs).
Chrome 15 simply moves it around a bit with the new tab page; before, it was a link in the bottom left that was often difficult to miss. Now it's an actual button, labelled appropriately for its function.
You really shouldn't read one line of this mini-review and act on it as if it were the only source of information. Certainly it could have been worded better so you wouldn't assume this was a *new* feature in chrome 15, but it would have taken you all of 10 seconds to Google and realize it's simply been modified in the latest release.
It really isn't necessary to be a so religious about your browser choice - and your opinions therein - you could have tried to make your point without sounding like an asshat. Unfortunately however, this appears to be the rule, not the exception, when conversing with Opera fanatics. Reply
marc1000 - Thursday, October 27, 2011 - linki'm not a fanatic, i was just pointing that Opera is a great driver of innovations and a lot of companies follow them. but due to some strange market behavior, it simply can't gain market share. i use all of the browsers whenever i need any of them.
i do not even know what version of chrome is running on my machine, and don't even want to know. but i guess i'm like 10 versions behind the current one, because i downloaded the standalone installer of chrome a year ago and now i realised that they release new versions every month.... and the standalone installer won't auto-update. Reply
michal1980 - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - linkReally come on now. This is just stupid. a whole new version 6 weeks after the last one? Reply
GuinnessKMF - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - linkI say it's about time, rapid release cycles means we get more features without bloated massive changes. Would you be happier if they called it 14.1? Does it matter? Reply
michal1980 - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - linkYes. a Big number change should mean big changes. Now they are just making the number as some sort of 'my number is bigger then yours' game.
Because bigger = better. Reply
niva - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - linkCalm down already, I'm sure you'd find something to complain about if it was numbered 14.1 too. Reply
Guspaz - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - linkWhy are you pretending this is new? They've been releasing new versions every month or two for about a year now. How else do you think we got up to version 15 on a browser whose first stable release was only three years ago?
Google doesn't trumpet the version number to the public like other browser vendors do. Users get automatic frequent small updates, and their announcements of new versions is pretty subdued.
For those that are interested, Wikipedia has a nice version history:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome#Release... Reply
daniel142005 - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - linkAnd this is relevant how? It's not like you have to worry about going to Google's site and downloading Chrome 15 and updating it yourself. It's all transparent. Now with Firefox it's different, because you get nagged about updates... but that's hopefully changing soon.
Since when is there a law for how you choose software versions anyway? Unless you're worried it will get higher than you can count... In which case you'd have a valid reason to be concerned. Reply
heffeque - Wednesday, October 26, 2011 - linkAre you from the past? - IT crowd Reply
tayb - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 - linkGoogle is starting to annoy me with their ridiculous release cycles and their success is starting to influence other companies to do the same. I would say there has not been anything big enough since version 10 to merit a whole number upgrade yet here we are at Chrome 15 when we should be at Chrome 10.4. It's changing the way people view new releases because Google isn't really releasing anything new.
I guess I'm just whining for whining sake but I don't like how Google is influencing the industry towards this ridiculous release numbering. Android is just barely on version 4 and Google has logical updates and update versions for that. Why not use the same logic on the browser. Reply
mwarner1 - Wednesday, October 26, 2011 - linkI would have thought you would have started whining around version 6-7 when the one to two month release started and would have got over it by now. Reply
FaaR - Wednesday, October 26, 2011 - link"I guess I'm just whining for whining sake"
Yes. Also, Chrome is free, so whining that a free program somehow doesn't match up to your (pointless) expectations is a bit too much to stomach IMO.
Luxury problem much, wouldn't you say?
What I'd like to see from Chrome is support for left/right swipe on the apple magic mouse, it'd be much more convenient to have browse forwards/back ready at my fingertips; also I could dump the terrible resource and performance hog that is safari if chrome just started supporting this one simple feature... :P Reply
marc1000 - Thursday, October 27, 2011 - linkhey, Opera has mouse-swype... left is back, right is forward. it is called "mouse gestures" and if you clik a link and swype down, for example, it will open the link in a new window. click anywhere and swype down then left, it minimizes the current tab. down then right, closes the tab. up maximixe. and a lot more other actions....
