High Hopes for "Low PAN"
Wireless sensing technology for manufacturing is converging in some areas. At the physical, or radio layer all of the major standards groups have converged on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. On July 2007, the ISA SP100 working group voted to use the latest update to this standard as the sensor network in its initial standard for wireless sensing in manufacturing.

Dealing with the financial aspects of cancer can be an added stress during a time when you need it the least. Having cancer adds stress to your financial situation. The expenses associated with cancer care are high, usually higher than anyone anticipates. No one plans to be diagnosed with cancer, it just happens.
If you are employed and have insurance coverage, you are in a better situation for support. There are laws in place that help to protect you. Many times, your employer will offer paid sick leave for a certain amount of time. Also, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) entitles you to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave from your work and ensures that your job and health insurance coverage are protected.
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) allows you the right to continue your employee health insurance benefits for a limited time (normally up to 18 months) if you lose benefits due to a job loss.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) prohibits discrimination against an employee because of health conditions and provides options for insurance coverage limiting exclusions and pre-existing conditions.
If you do not have health insurance, you may need support and assistance to cover costs. Arrange a meeting with a social worker or patient advocate to ask for assistance in navigating the system and help in finding sources of financial support. Ask the hospital about charity care programs that are in place to cover certain costs.
Explore financial support for medications from patient assistance programs (offered by pharmaceutical and biotech companies to help cover the costs of medications).
Here are a few ideas to help you get started:

A DARWEN company preparing to open to the public tomorrow suffered a setback after being hit by an arson attack.
Discount furniture seller East Lancashire Waste, in Lower Eccleshill Road, had left wooden table tops in a secure yard on Tuesday night when it was targeted by a suspected firebug.
Two crews from Darwen fire station were called to the business at around 4am, where they found a large pile of wood on fire.
Bosses at the small family business, which sells second-hand goods, refurbished furniture, lamps, and wallpaper, said the damage will total £1,000 in lost stock and clean-up costs.
One worker, who asked not to be named, said: "We put the wood outside for one night and someone came in and set fire to it.
"I only found out when I got to work and found the padlocks had been cut off."
The worker said the compound had been broken into three times, although nothing had been taken from the business previously.
He added: "We have no idea how they got in. They must have climbed over. We think it was kids because I was here until 10pm and there was nothing going on."
Tony Keane, a watch manager at Darwen Fire Station, said it took around an hour to put out the blaze. He said there was heat damage to the back of the building from radiated heat. Paint had been burnt off the building, and the guttering had melted.
The sprawling site previously housed East Lancashire Warehousing, which employed 60 workers until it went into administration in 2011.
The company closed its doors after it ceased trading, selling off assets to claw back money for creditors.

On Site in Winter Haven: An Early Christmas Present
As you know from last Thursday's post, project manager Dylan Eastman traveled to Florida last week to check in on our dear home. After crawling through the attic and measuring each space, he came across something that's going to make site preparations much easier.
Dylan says:
When we first scouted locations, we knew this special lakeside lot had an existing metal garage on site. However, we weren't able to get into it at the time. Later, when we were handed over the keys to the new house and lot, I got a little excited. There was one key in particular that cued my interest.
This Quonset-style hut reminded me of the buildings made popular after World War II by the George Fuller Company. These buildings needed to be economical to produce, shipped anywhere and easy to put up. A rake or shovel would have easily made my day. What I didn't expect is what I found when the garage door slid up.
Yes, that key belonged to something that will come into much use on this beautiful multi-acre lot — our own tractor.
I can already see Grundy's big grin as he zooms around our new site.

How Sweet Is It? From The Giant Eagle Health Library
It's human nature to like foods that taste sweet. But, as any dentist can tell you, sugar is bad for your teeth. It's also loaded with calories, which can lead to unhealthy weight gain. Because excess weight is linked with diabetes, heart disease, and other serious health conditions, cutting back on sugar is a smart move for many people. Luckily, there are other ways to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Naturally sweet options
If you're trying to cut down on refined sugar without using artificial sweeteners, try fruits. They add flavor, as well as fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Fruit also contains calories, so keep that in mind if you are watching your weight. If you have diabetes, fruit and other naturally sweet foods can cause fluctuations in your blood sugar. Here are some ideas for adding fruit to your meals:
- Add banana slices or berries to unsweetened breakfast cereal.
- Top fresh fruit with a spoonful of yogurt for dessert.
- Use all-fruit spread on your toast.
Spices also can help bring out sweet flavor in foods without contributing calories:
- Mix ginger with a fruit glaze to top fresh fruit.
- Try cinnamon with hot cereal.
- Enhance flavor in cookies and rice with nutmeg.
- Add cinnamon, ginger, or nutmeg to coffee before brewing.
- Sprinkle ginger over cooked carrots or cinnamon over sweet potatoes.
Artificial sweeteners
Another option is to replace sugar with a low-calorie, artificial sweetener. You can buy products that contain one or sprinkle some on what you eat or drink. These sugar substitutes are many times sweeter than sucrose, or table sugar, so a tiny amount goes a long way.
Here's some information on nonnutritive sweeteners:
This is one of the few low-calorie sweeteners that can be heated without losing sweetness, which makes it great for baking. It has been available to the public since 1988; it is about 200 times sweeter than table sugar. Granulated forms make measuring easy. It's also in some candies and imitation dairy products. Sunett and Sweet One are two brand names.
Aspartame is a low-calorie sweetener added to a variety of foods and drinks, including soft drinks, breakfast cereals, and yogurt. It is made from two amino acids, the building blocks of protein. Aspartame is digested the same way fish, meat, chicken, and other protein foods are digested. Approved by the FDA in 1981, it is one of the most rigorously studied food ingredient. Aspartame is about 180 times sweeter than sugar. Brand names include NutraSweet and Equal.
Neotame, a general purpose sweetener, was approved by the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. This sweetener may be used in a wide variety of food products. Depending on its food applications, neotame is approximately 7,000 to 13,000 times sweeter than sugar.
This is the most popular low-calorie sweetener in the world; it been in use for more than a century. It's about 300 times sweeter than table sugar (sucrose). If you've used Sweet 'N Low, you've tasted saccharin. It's also in some diet drinks and processed foods. In the late '90s, a warning label appeared on products that contained saccharin because large amounts of it caused cancer in lab rats. The National Institutes of Health has stopped listing saccharin as a potential carcinogen. Later studies on animals and people had shown that saccharin was not a major risk factor for cancer.
Stevia is a sweetener that has been used in South America for hundreds of years. It is 30 times sweeter than sugar and does not add to caloric intake. It is great for diabetics because it does not affect blood glucose levels.
Like acesulfame-K, sucralose stays sweet when heated, so you can cook with it. You can use the granulated form like table sugar. Sucralose came on the market in 1998; it's about 600 times sweeter than sugar. This sweetener is starting to appear in breakfast cereals and other prepared foods, too. Common brands include Splenda.

Using Social Media and SEO to Fill Your Books
The ultimate salon goal? Bookings.
Meet Kat Ross, co-owner of Sin 7 Salon, who's found a new way to harness the power of a digital culture to fill her books. What is Kat's secret? S.E.O. – and no, it's not a newly discovered form of life in space, the term S.E.O. stand for Search Engine Optimization and in this blog post we'll share a bit more on how she's using social media and S.E.O. to drive traffic to her salon.
"Our website has been largely responsible for bringing in new guests. We ask each new client how they heard of us, and there are 2 main ways: referrals from other guests, and online searching. Mainly I will chalk our web guest recruiting success up to the personal, conversational tone of everything we put on the site. People seem to really connect with that. "
Using her social media outlets and her cunning internet strategy, Kat has managed to start her own salon and watch it blossom in a short span of 2 years! Located in White Rock, BC,this two-year-old salon is not just young and spunky but also on top of their social media growth. I sat down with co-owner,Kat, and was blown away. Her salon is a great example of a salon professional using their knowledge and skills to market their salon without a large investment.
To start us off Kat, could you tell us a little about Sin 7 Salon?
We (my business partner Courtney Clark and I) were inspired to start the salon after we realized that our perceived lack of career options was really only limited by our imaginations. Like most salon owners, we wanted to create our ideal workplace: a well-managed, fun, energetic place where stylists are truly supported by the house to achieve all they can in their career, and a salon where we could provide the level of high-touch customer service that we feel our guests deserve.
When you look at social media what is your overall goal with your business?
There are actually a couple of overall goals, the first of which is just cultivating and maintaining our "brand", and making sure we always have a cohesive feel to everything we do with our online presence. The other goal with social media is to keep driving the link traffic back to our website, which in turn keeps us higher on search engines so that people can find us when looking for a salon in our area. Because our website is so friendly and informative and conveys our shop's personality, when people find it, they usually book with us. That is the ultimate goal – bookings.
Your blog is your heaviest social media presence, what is your goal with the blog and where do your content ideas originate?
The goal with our blog content is mostly to inform and entertain, so basically it's an online extension of our salon's personality. We want you to feel like you know us a little bit before you ever walk in the door. I post about hair and beauty news that I think would be interesting and/or somehow relevant to our demographic as well as how-to's, giving readers something concrete they can take with them when they click out. Sometimes I just post funny beauty related stuff, but only if it makes me actually, literally LOL. Ultimately with blogging, I hope it resonates with people and they'll book in with us.
Facebook is one really great way to promote your blog and website, what are your other tactics?
Twitter has been pretty great for that. Relative to the rest of Twitter, I have a teeny tiny following but I have a few who will tweet out my blog posts to their thousands of followers, and that always spikes the traffic. I also send out an e-newsletter to subscribers and will link to the blog posts in that. Plus I have a big mouth like most hairdressers, right? So I blab about it to whoever will listen. I have an iPad at my station and I can boot it right up for them on the spot.
What does social media do for your salon?
Social media lets us keep in touch with our clients when they're between appointments; it keeps us in their face so when the hair gets too long or the color is grown out, we're top-of-mind. It drives traffic to our website which helps with SEO. One thing Twitter (which I do under my own name with a link to the salon site on my profile) has done is lead me to some amazing opportunities to do guest blogging and paid writing. I've also had my work featured in a monthly newsletter that went out to over 12,000 people, so that has all been extremely cool for the salon as far as exposure.
How does your social media affect your SEO? Tell us about your strategy.
We are a very small business and don't want to pay someone to manage our SEO and keep us on top of Google, so we are strictly DIY. Part of generating that Google juice, as far as anyone knows, is traffic from outside links to your site. So, when I write a blog post, I always put a link to it on Facebook and Twitter. Every hit helps, in my opinion. It's not the only thing we do for SEO, but it's an integral part of our strategy.
What is your favorite social medium for your salon? Why?
At the moment I would have to say Facebook. It allows me to give up-to-the-moment information to our "fans", for instance when we have a new blog post up or if we've had an appointment become available at the last minute. When we have an in-salon event I can created a page on FB and invite all of our fans, which is super convenient. I like that it's got all of the information people would need right there, too, like our phone number, address, and email address. It's a great place to post pictures and I also have a newsletter sign-up form there as well.
You just began involving the rest of your stylists. How do you make sure that social media is a collective effort?
Almost everyone contributes in some way. They check in to our Facebook page to "like," comment, and post pictures of their work, and we've all been playing with Instagram a lot lately. I have two stylists who are delving in with me on the website; one who is writing on the blog once a week and the other is going to write a monthly blog post. I love having their voices and energy included in our online presence, and I trust them to be the voice of the salon out there. Plus, since I work behind the chair 4 days a week as well as doing the usual owner stuff, I found that I needed to suck it up and get help with it all! Consistency is key with social media so we keep an editorial calendar with deadlines. It makes it harder to blow off when it's on your schedule.
How do you get your clients to interact and become part of the Sin 7 Salon conversation and family?
I just ask them to check it out (FB, Twitter, etc) and encourage them to comment. If they do, I always reply to comments! A lot of our guests are not 100% glued to social media like some of us are, so they need to be coaxed out of their shells a little bit. Also, whenever find out we've had someone write up a good review online, we make sure to thank them publicly. Manners still count in the world.
So, in a nutshell, WAY TO GO Kat and team at Sin 7 Salon!
If you have read my other blog posts you will understand why Kat truly 'gets it' in the world of leveraging social media for her salon. She uses many of the best practice suggestions that are at the heart of a successful online marketing strategy. If we were giving out grades Sin 7 Salon would earn an A++!
Kat has mentions many important tips and steps to take with social media but I think that the most important part is to continue to educate ourselves. In the salon industry we are accustomed to keeping in front of the pack by forever updating our techniques and styles. Social media is the same atmosphere, it is forever changing and those who take the time and educate always come out on top.

Alzheimer's Research UK has been chosen as charity of the year for one of the world's most prestigious equestrian events, the 2013 Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials.
Triple Olympic gold medallist Richard Meade OBE braved the snow to join other supporters and staff from the UK's leading dementia research charity when they visited the course in January, in preparation for the May event.
Alzheimer's Research UK supporters Jamie and Vicki Graham, from Dauntsey, nominated the charity for selection for this premier occasion in world eventing.
Mr Graham was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's five years ago, at just 59. Since then the couple have made it their mission to do everything they can to support the charity's pioneering research.
Richard Meade, legendary triple Olympic gold medallist, who won the Badminton Horse Trials in 1970 and in 1982, explained his motivation for supporting Alzheimer's Research UK: "Jamie and Vicki are dear friends and I've seen how their lives have been turned upside down by this devastating disease," he said. "I've been disappointed to learn about the lack of money for research to find new treatments.
"Alzheimer's Research UK are the experts and their involvement with the Badminton Horse Trials is a wonderful opportunity to raise awareness of the charity's vital research and the need for more funds."
Mrs Graham talked about the reasons for nominating Alzheimer's Research UK as charity of the year for the Badminton Horse Trials: "Watching Jamie slowly deteriorate in front of me is incredibly painful," she said. "I feel I want to shout from the rooftops to make everyone aware that Alzheimer's isn't a natural part of ageing. It's a disease and there's nowhere near enough money for research to prevent, treat or cure it.
"Badminton is a regular event in my calendar and with such a huge following I couldn't miss the chance to nominate Alzheimer's Research UK to help spread the word. I'm so delighted they've been selected as charity of the year.
"Before his diagnosis, Jamie had a high-powered job in IT. Since then he's had to give up so many things - he can't drive, use a computer, read or write. He has difficulty stringing words together and I need to be aware of his ability to wander off and get lost.
"Ordinary daily routines like dressing and undressing are challenges for Jamie and I need to help him with an increasing number of things. But he has tremendous courage and he's never lost his sense of humour. I would so dearly love to see new treatments found to give hope to so many people like Jamie. Research is the only answer."
Rebecca Wood, chief executive of Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "We are proud to be chosen as charity of the year for the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials. We are hugely grateful to our dedicated Champions Jamie and Vicki Graham for nominating us and thrilled to have the endorsement of such an eminent horseman, Richard Meade. This important event provides a tremendous opportunity to raise money and awareness of our world-class research.
"Every £20 raised for Alzheimer's Research UK during the Badminton Horse Trials will pay for another hour of research. This will bring us closer to finding better forms of diagnosis, preventions, new treatments and a cure for Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia."


text: Show Hide image Politics 9 October 2012 The Future of Energy Sign up for our weekly email * For the past 200 years human beings have depended on fossil fuels, and this doesn't seem likely to change any time soon. Despite sustained pressure from environmentalist groups, it looks like gas and oil are here to stay. A few light bulbs may be turned off earlier, a couple of cars might run off electricity, but it is hard to imagine a huge shift in behaviour. As the economy grows, so do our energy needs. Millions have been taken out of poverty by the economic development that relies directly on greater energy consumption. The energy industry is booming – consumption is expected to double by 2050. Along with this, it is getting harder to source oil and gas, governments are clamping down on carbon emissions, and the economy is moving towards a different vision of how we feed our systems. The challenge for the world's leading energy companies is to meet the needs of the economy while dealing with concerns from consumers, communities, environmentalists and politicians. But there is also a challenge for consumers. Patterns of consumption vary across the planet: the average US citizen uses roughly three times as much energy for personal transport as the average European. Without taking a hairshirt approach, it seems possible to change our habits in order to modify energy use. Yet the way we use energy is tied not only to social factors, but to geography: the size of countries, and the way towns are laid out. A change is coming but it could be a gradual one. Technologies move fast, but vast and established infrastructure is harder to shift. Solar PV, solar thermal technologies, wind technologies can all grow, but it will be some while before they are truly material at the global scale. Innovation is needed not only in design but in deployment, and will come from collaboration between sectors: between industry, government, academia and NGOs. Local changes take a while to filter through globally, so persistence is as big a challenge as the changes themselves. Without putting a limit on increasing standards of living in the population, demand will only increase. Shell Head of Scenarios Subscribe from just £1 per issue More

A New Frontier: Biologics ELN
by Suzanne Tracy, Editor-in-Chief, Scientific Computing and HPC Source
The rapid increase of investment in biotherapeutics is changing the profile of the biopharmaceutical industry and, along with it, data management in the laboratory. With attention on longer patent life, high barriers to generic equivalents and personalized medicine, an increasing portion of R&D spending is being allocated to large molecule therapies, such as monoclonal antibodies.
This comes at the expense of investment on chemically synthesized small molecules. From 2005 to 2008, there were 73 new molecular entities approved by the FDA versus only 10 biologics. From 2009 to 2012, however, 24 biologics were approved versus 71 NMEs. According to Michael Elliott, founder, CEO and chief analyst at Atrium Research & Consulting, this growth will continue for the foreseeable future, as will investments in combination biopharmaceuticals, such as antibody drug conjugates that link biologics to small molecules.
The rapid pace at which biologics has grown has left most companies in informatics catch-up. Biologics is a far greater data management challenge than that for small molecules, and is a relatively new, emerging area for tools like electronic laboratory notebook software.
While a chemically synthesized compound's process is fairly linear: from synthesis it flows quickly into tests for in vitro pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, etcetera. In contrast — for a series of assay and study results on a single molecular entity — just the process of creating a monoclonal antibody generates a multi-dimensional set of data requiring analysis.
Mike explains that there is no single way to attack the problem. It really comes down to: If a company wants a system to help support a change in process, then a more complex tool needs to be carefully considered. This will take time and significant energy, but the rewards can be substantial in not only efficiency, but new insights into monoclonal antibody development process.
Although the "easy way" — what Mike calls the "paper-on-glass" electronic laboratory notebook, or ELN — is fine for those wanting to implement something that will improve knowledge capture and reuse, it doesn't change processes.
With that being said, even for the "process enabling" ELN, best practices demonstrate the need to start simple and build over time, as change management is the biggest single challenge. People need to learn the tool to understand how it can be used to modify their workflows.

Great eye creme!
Posted by TrueReviews on May 29, 2013 | Verified Purchase
I absolutely love this eye creme! I got it originally because it has arnica and vit K, which help with oedema under eyes, and also because of the antioxidant properties of goji berries. But I couldn't imagine that it would feel so good on my face! It has a very refreshing texture, it was like my eyes were thirsty for it! And you can't beat that price!

I have sensitive skin ...
Posted by iHerb Customer on Jan 11, 2010 | Verified Purchase
I now have sensitive skin and its hard to find a product that wont irrate it. I use VERY COSTLY Anna Marie Borlind products for years, but with a fall in my income I had to look for a new way to keep my face hydrated. I tried this eye cream for my entire face, not greasy seems to work pretty good. NO after burn redness!! Give it a try!
Great for dark circles
Posted by iHerb Customer on Aug 28, 2010 | Verified Purchase
Bought this eye cream because the eye gel I use regularly was on back order. Well, miracles happened with this Goji eye cream. My dark eye circles disappeared! I attribute this to the arnica and vitamin K (great ingredients) Also, wrinkles have lessened. Great product & reasonable priced. Plus, it's organic! I will continue to use this great new eye cream. Love it!
Good for wrinkles
Posted by iHerb Customer on Feb 05, 2010 | Verified Purchase
I initially bought this to help with dark circles but after 3 weeks it has not had any effect but this has definitely minimized the lines around my eyes. Within two days of using it in the morning and again in the evening I noticed a reduction in wrinkles. For the price, it's worth it.
Nice cream
Posted by iHerb Customer on Nov 01, 2009 | Verified Purchase
I only use it on my eyes and am already happy that it doesn't burn my sensitive skin like Burt's Bees eye cream did.
Stings my eyes
Posted by iHerb Customer on Dec 23, 2013 | Verified Purchase
Could not use this near my eyes due to the stinging and burning it causes. It is a good moisturizer for the neck and other parts of your face.
Pretty good
Posted by iHerb Customer on Aug 26, 2011 | Verified Purchase
This is a good moisturizer at a great price. The reason I bought it, however, was to help decrease my dark under eye circles and I don't think it is helping for those. But for a moisturizer it is good - I put it under my eyes at night and they are still moist in the morning - the sign of a good cream.
Reduce puffiness and dark eye circles
Posted by iHerb Customer on Nov 02, 2013 | Verified Purchase
My previous eye cream caused 4 pimples to grow at my eye area. After using this Goji Berry cream, my pimples subsided and eye puffiness has been reduced. However it doesn't help fine lines. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update after using this eye cream for 3 weeks: My dark eye circles have faded slightly!

The France boss has been summoned to an enquiry into the use of banned substances, with a particular emphasis on his time at Juventus in the 1990s
It was first reported earlier this month that the current France boss had been summoned to answer questions in relation to his time at Juventus as a player during the 1990s.
Most of those asked to provide evidence on alleged doping have done so before an open court, but Deschamps has been given special dispensation to testify in private.
Juve's club doctor during his time at the club, Riccardo Agricola, was found guilty of sporting fraud in connection with the use of banned substances during the '90s in November 2004 but he was cleared on appeal a year later.
However, senator Jean-Jacques Lozach admitted that he is keen to hear Deschamps speak about his experiences in Turin.
"There is the story of the alleged doping at Juventus that interests us," he is quoted as saying by Tuttosport.
"We want to know if the fight against doping is a concern for the national team coach, but, above all, if the coach has proposals to make."
The 44-year-old called time on his playing career in 2001. He returned to Juve as coach in 2006.

Stole €100,000 worth of Dublin Bus tickets
A NEWTOWNMOUNTKENNEDY man stole €100,000 worth of Dublin Bus tickets he was meant to destroy.
38 year old Brian Merriman of Season Park, Newtown, was working with document-shedding firm, Shred It, and misappropriated the tickets which were being taken out of circulation to be shredded following a price increase by Dublin Bus.
Merriman pleaded guilty at Dublin District Court to stealing the tickets at Dublin Bus, Upper O'Connelll Street on July 23, 2011.
Merriman worked as a driver with Shred It and the company had been hired by Dublin Bus to destroy a batch of old tickets.
Dublin Bus was alerted to the below-cost sale of bus tickets and contacted the Gardai. An investigation was carried out and Merriman's home was raided where tickets and €4,050 in cash were seized.
The court was told that the tickets had been removed by Merriman while he was in a position as a ' trusted employee.'
Between May and July 2011, he appropriated €100,000 worth of tickets which were due to be shredded.
The Dublin Bus investigation was prompted after Dublin Bus suffered a loss of revenue of between €250,000 and €300,000. The wider fraud operation involved stolen tickets being passed on the third parties.
Several shopkeepers have been charged with handling stolen bus tickets, and a co-accused man is currently before the courts over the theft of tickets from Dublin Bus in 2011.
Judge Cormac Dunne ordererd that Merriman carry out 200 hours' community service instead of an eight month prison sentence. He was also ordered to return the siezed cash to Dublin Bus.

Reviews (15)
I have used these chew hooves for several years and my dogs love them. Since I have 5 dogs I find buying them in the 5# box economical and easy.
"The Best Cow Hooves"
I have been buying these for years from Jeffers. Never have I been disappointed. From my Dachshunds to my friend's 135 pound Mastiff/Bloodhound mix, no dog has been disappointed or has had any problems with shards, chips or any digestive problems. But, then again, we don't let them eat a whole one in a sitting. Nor, have I ever seen a dog be able to eat one in a sitting. These are the longest lasting treat EVER! They do smell "funky" when wet. That is an ok trade off for a treat that lasts and lasts. We all love them and the quality and price can not be beat! Thanks, Jeffers, for your consistency of great quality, customer service and quick delivery over the years. I am a customer for life!
"Munch munch, doge love them"
My dogs love them. They get so excited when I give them each one, then all you hear from them is munch munch munch as they happily chew t them. They are a little stinky when they get wet but nothin terrible. I have one dog that likes to steal them from my other dogs and hord them away.
"Great time users"
Keeping my active dogs busy working on a chew hoof is time for me. I have a toy poodle who loves to play a game with hers, dropping it off the back of the sofa and running to get it again :)
"Love at first chew"
My babies absolutely love their new chews
"Except for the smell..."
My dogs love these. I fill them with cheese or peanut butter, freeze them and let them have at it. The only thing (to me) once these are wet (slobbered on) the smell is too strong for inside. Also, I've never had a dog to actually chew the hoove so I am not sure if they would be bad if swallowed.
I thought these would be a great for our dog that doesn't like Nylabones. And indeed she loved it, but within 30 seconds, our 30lb dog was breaking off splinters and quarter sized pieces with sharp edges. We tried a second hoof and the same thing happened. Out of fear of an impaction or intestinal tear, we threw the whole bag in the garbage.
"Adding to my review..."
I forgot to mention that regular chewing on these will keep tartar off teeth, saving expense and risks of dental cleanings. A new dog just joined my pack, and his teeth had a moderate amount of tartar--within a month, it was gone! Also want to add that I appreciate a USA-sourced product.
"Best de-stresser available!"
I have been giving my German shepherds chew hooves for years. Since they love them, and chewing is a great de-stresser, I always want to have enough on hand. Turned to Jeffers for best price, and have been very pleased with exceptional and consistent quality of these hooves. They are thick, so dogs gnaw them and pieces do not splinter off. Yes, there is an odor--but what is happiness worth? When hooves dry, odor disappears quickly. I let my dogs chew once a day until they are satisfied, and then put the hooves out of sight until next day. They last longer than any other treat I have found.
Thank you Jeffers for your kindness,your fast deliveries and your great product. The hooves are great bigger size than any stores I seen here in the island and also great price My Bulldogs love them Thank you !
"Bulldog lover"
I have 5 bulldogs who are aggressive chewers and these hooves have saved my furniture! These are the largest hooves I've seen. They are thick and large!! Great deal!
"Best ever"
Patty, I just have to tell you that, in the 36 years I have been breeding Rottweilers and have bought thousands of Cow Hooves over that time, these that I received from you yesterday are the absolute NICEST I have ever had! Needless to say, a Rottweiler can go thru a smaller hoof in no time--these are wonderfully the largest I have ever gotten. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! Peggy Garner
"Great Quality Chew at a Great Price"
These are great! I have three pit bulls and they munch on these in the crate during the day and when they are out during the day. They last for a long time even with heavy chewers. For a cheap price I get ten pounds of them and they last for about three months. They stink though and they make the dogs breath smell horrible. Also do not touch them after they chew on the for a while because they are super slimy and the smell gets on your hands. I really love these though and I highly recommend.
"These hooves are an awesome treat, and last quite a long time (I have a lab and pitbull and each hoof lasted at least 1-2 weeks). The only reason why I gave it a 4 is because after being chewed on for a while, you start saying ""what's that smell?"" and its because the hoof stinks when it becomes wet. But I can stand the smell as long as my dogs are happy, and they of course love them."
"best chew treat on the market"
We have bred, shown and raised dogs for over 3 decades and have tried all types of chew treats during that time. In my opinion nothing beats cow hooves. They seem to be universally loved by all dogs or at least the ones we have given them to, which has been dozens. But more importantly they are a safe, long lasting, economical chew. We have never had a dog choke on one, which has been a potential problem with rawhides. Even hard chewers are not able to bite off a hunk that might either choke them or get stuck in their teeth. Instead they gnaw at them rubbing off small slivers and crumbs. Another big plus is that they don't leave stains on furniture or carpeting. The only possible objection you might have is that when the hooves are new they have a gamey odor, but that dissipates within a day or two. We toss our 4 dogs 6 hooves so that there isn't any arguing over the same one. And it is entertaining to see them stealing each other hooves and hiding them for it to only get stolen by one of the other dogs when the initial thief isn't looking. But it remains all in good fun. None of the dogs seem to get too possessive over their hooves. Probably because we keep enough extra lying around that there is always an available one for them to have. In my book you just can't go wrong with cow hooves.

Risk Factors for Coronary Artery DiseaseSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Some risk factors—things that increase your risk—for coronary artery disease (CAD), such as your gender, age, and family history, cannot be changed. Other risk factors for CAD are related to lifestyle and often can be changed. Your chance of developing coronary artery disease increases with the number of risk factors you have.
Your doctor can help you know your risk of CAD, heart attack, and stroke.
You can help lower your risk of CAD with heart-healthy lifestyle changes such as eating healthy foods, being active, and not smoking.
Risk factors you can control
- Smoking
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Being overweight
- Lack of exercise
- Stress
- Metabolic syndrome
Risk factors you cannot control
- Family history: One or more of your close relatives have or had early CAD.
- Gender: Men generally develop CAD 10 years earlier than women, although by age 60, CAD becomes the leading cause of death in both genders. Women have certain other things that may increase their risk. These include hormone therapy and pregnancy-related problems.
- Age: People older than age 65 are more likely to have CAD.

Filipino café owner Tess Ryan will run the London Marathon for the second time in memory of her brother, who died in the Philippines from kidney failure.
Mrs Ryan moved to Calne from the Philippines ten years ago and runs the Sampaguita Café in St Mary's Courtyard with her husband.
She is raising funds for Kidney Research in memory of her younger brother Jon Fordelon, who was diagnosed with kidney failure in December 2012 and died four months later.
The diagnosis was like a death sentence for the 33-year-old, who knew his family would struggle to afford medical treatment.
Mrs Ryan, 40, who has another brother and sister in the Philippines, said it was a tough situation and training to run in his memory had been emotional so far.
She said: "If you're in my country if you don't have any insurance you have to find your own medical care.
"I was paying £1,100 per month because he had dialysis three times a week and he needed six bags of blood a week.
"When I told my brother I couldn't afford it any more he knew he would die, it was very hard. My brother was very friendly – everyone was friends with him because he was so outgoing."
Mrs Ryan took up running in 2009 and trains with the Calne SMaRTT Club. She ran last year's London Marathon in six and a half hours, raising £1,800 for St John's Ambulance to thank volunteers who helped when she was dehydrated at a race.
This year she was unable to secure a place in the ballot, but she has a charity entry place and must raise £2,100 for Kidney Research in order to compete.
She has organised an Asian and Mediterranean evening at the White Hart in Calne on March 14 to fundraise and has booked the Shadows of Santana to play.
Mrs Ryan said: "The London Marathon is amazing. When you get across the finish line you know you've achieved something."
The buffet on March 14 starts at 7pm and tickets are £20. To book, call (01249) 811201.

Disturbing Remarks
The Memories of Loops Gone Bad and Processes Gone Wild
Greg McMillan and Stan Weiner bring their wits and more than 66 years of process control experience to bear on your questions, comments, and problems. Write to them at email@example.com.
By Greg McMillan and Stan Weiner, PE
Greg: Do you remember going into a control room and noticing right away something was wrong—such as the uneaten doughnuts or the food burning in the kitchen?
Stan: You knew it was bad if the operators were too busy to enjoy the finer things of control room life.
Greg: Oh, the memories of loops gone bad and processes gone wild! Fortunately, we're getting good at forgetting. What were we talking about? Oh, yeah, how to deal with a gyrating plant. The first step is to tune the loops, but without the loop monitoring and learning tools, you have to wait until things calm down to do some step testing if the operator is fighting just to keep the plant running or the batch going.
Stan: You can check for bizarre tuning settings without interfering with the operator. The reset time setting is often too small on columns, stills, reactors, crystallizers and surge tanks. These unit operations are integrating processes or behave like integrating processes. Because of a process time constant so much larger than the loop dead time, the process response looks like a ramp in the time frame of interest. You can frequently get these loops to settle down by simply increasing the reset time by a factor of 10. If there were a bunch of oscillating loops, the root cause is often the loop furthest upstream. By far the most frequent bad actor is a level loop on a surge tank. Here the reset time is typically 100 times too small, causing slow rolling oscillations that ripple through the plant. Really bad news is a disturbance upstream with a period of oscillation close to the period of a loop, because the result is resonance where the oscillations get in phase and amplified by the loop.
Greg: Another common source of oscillations is a valve with excessive stick-slip (resolution limit) and backlash (dead band). It's a valve instead of a tuning problem if the oscillations have a constant amplitude and period for a given reset and gain setting. Such limit cycles are mostly caused by valves, provided the controller is not banging between its output limits or the flat portions of a titration curve. Stick-slip causes loops with reset action to oscillate regardless of tuning settings. For stick-slip, the amplitude of the oscillations is relatively constant, but the period increases as the reset time increases and the controller gain decreases. Dead band causes a similar problem for a loop with double integration (integral time setting for an integrating process or integral time settings in both controllers of a cascade loop). For dead band, the amplitude in the process variable oscillation is inversely proportional to the controller gain. The period of a dead band oscillation is proportional to the reset time, like stick-slip, but the inverse relationship to controller gain is weaker.
Stan: A particularly confusing situation is when the reset action of a primary loop is faster than the reset action of a secondary loop, or when the reset action of any loop is faster than the slewing rate of a control valve or the velocity limit of a variable-speed drive. The loop looks fine for normal operation, but goes unstable for large load upsets or big set-point changes. The dynamic reset limiting option available today in a DCS can prevent the problem of the controller output outrunning its manipulated variable.
Greg: If a periodic disturbance is faster than the loop, the best a feedback controller can do is nothing. By the time it does something, it's too late or puts the loop at risk for resonance. Really fast disturbances are better known as noise. Signal filters can make a measurement appear to be smoother and reduce the reaction of the loop, but the correct solution is to get rid of the disturbance. If this isn't possible, the next best thing is to slow down or attenuate the disturbance and speed up the loop by getting rid of loop dead time and using a higher controller gain setting. The biggest source of dead time is often the time it takes for the controller to work its way through stick-slip or dead band. A high controller gain reduces this dead time.
Stan: Tuning and valve problems start out as flow disturbances, but can become concentration, pressure or temperature disturbances as they work their way through the process. Batch operations, start-ups, shutdowns, operator actions, interlocks, discrete process actions and level switches can cause big, abrupt and disruptive changes in flows.
Greg: The best way to slow down and reduce the amplitude of a concentration disturbance is to take advantage of a back-mixed volume between the disturbance and the loop. The mixing can be caused by turbulence from agitation, boiling or recirculation. The attenuation (reduction in amplitude) is proportional to the period of the concentration disturbance divided by the residence time of the volume (liquid inventory divided by total feed flow).
Stan: The largest unknown source of concentration disturbances is the raw materials. The culprit could be a change in the concentration of a key reactant or a contaminant that degrades process operation. Unfortunately, the composition of these raw materials may not even be measured in the lab. Furthermore, feed tanks usually don't have agitators, so the only smoothing from the unloading of tank cars is from flow-entry turbulence and the slow migration of components from areas of high-to-low concentration.

Former N. Idaho lawmaker arrested after scuffle
HAYDEN, Idaho (AP) - A former northern Idaho Republican lawmaker was arrested after an apparent scuffle at his restaurant in which an employee says he was the victim of a physical encounter.
The Coeur d'Alene Press reports former Sen. Mike Jorgenson was arrested Tuesday afternoon at his restaurant, The Copa, in Hayden, for investigation of misdemeanor battery.
That's after an employee, 41-year-old Benjamin Chavez, says Jorgenson grabbed him and threw him to the ground during a dispute about money.
One witness, a bartender at the restaurant, told police that he pulled Jorgenson from Chavez during the altercation.
Jorgenson had a different version of what happened.
He couldn't be reached for comment on Wednesday, but told deputies Chavez fell down when Jorgenson grabbed his jacket and told him to get out of the restaurant.

Just three weeks ago, the Washington Redskins had some playoff promise with rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III thriving right before a big matchup with the New York Giants. Three consecutive losses later in Washington, and Redskins coach Mike Shanahan already is looking to next season and beyond with his 3-6 team.
After their latest defeat, 21-13 at home to previously one-win Carolina, Shanahan told reporters Sunday the remainder of 2012 will become more of an evaluation process for next season.
"You lose a game like that, now you're playing to see who obviously is going to be on your football team for years to come. I'll get a chance to evaluate players and see where we're at," Shanahan said. "We're not out of it statistically, but now we find out what type of character we've got and how guys keep on fighting through the rest of the season."
Although Griffin and productive rookie running back Alfred Morris have given the Redskins a youthful look in reviving their offense, the defense, especially against the pass, has been the big problem all season. That problem grew after early season-ending injuries to Brian Orakpo and Adam Carriker up front, putting more pressure on a struggling secondary. It was on full display as Cam Newton and the Panthers picked Washington apart.
The Redskins, however, still have several playoff-hungry veterans, such as inside linebacker London Fletcher—a one-time Super Bowl winner with the St. Louis Rams—who must be frustrated by their coach's comments. Two such players told the Washington Post that Shanahan shouldn't have gone public with waving the flag, but fellow linebacker Lorenzo Alexander went on record with the Post.
"You have a lot of guys that want to win now, people toward the end of their careers who have been here a long time, haven't been to the playoffs in a long time," Alexander told the Post. "Ultimately, that's what you play for, to get to the Super Bowl."
It's no doubt Shanahan's influence in the decision to trade up to draft Griffin and ability to steal Morris as his most recent late-round feature back are positives in his favor. But given how demanding owner Daniel Snyder is, Shanahan the coach will also merit close evaluation in the final seven games of the season.
Looking at how bad the defense has become, there will be plenty of jobs at stake there, including coordinator Jim Haslett. Seeing Shanahan's mass overhaul of the offense this season, the other side of the ball should prepare to be similarly blown up for next season.

Get with the right plan
The process of developing a strategic automation plan isnt terribly complicated, and despite the number of different available models, each one uses similar techniques and yields similar results.
By Steve Elwart, Ergon Refining, with Maurice Wilkins, and Steve Loranger
Strategic planning is enjoying a revival among many corporate executives, and rightfully so. However, when automation planning isn't an integral part of corporate strategic planning activities, significant improvement opportunities and benefits can be completely overlooked and/or not fully realized.
Strategic planning shouldn't be confused with long-range planning. Long-range planning assumes that current knowledge about future conditions is sufficiently reliable to ensure that a plan remains stable over the duration of its implementation. Strategic planning, on the other hand, assumes that the organization exists in a dynamic environment, where the ability to be agile and responsive is paramount to the company's success. While a strategic automation plan should cover eight to 10 years, it must be reviewed and updated annually to accommodate business and technology dynamics.
The steps necessary to create a strategic automation plan are fairly straightforward. However, the tasks in each step aren't easy or quick, and some of the tasks may be accomplished best by using outside resources.
Getting Started
Nearly every automation system installed for more than five years suffers from a patchwork of hardware additions and deletions, control strategy changes and miscellaneous integration solutions. Operators deal with alarms that are no longer appropriate and procedures that are out of date. Managers find it increasingly difficult to determine production performance during the previous 24 hours.
In such an environment, it's safe to say that automation system investments are no longer optimized to help react to dynamic business conditions. The problem is that most companies don't fully realize this until they establish a base case—a picture of where they are right now.
Not only does the base case frequently reveal some surprises—both positive and negative—but it also provides critical information that eventually helps answer the question, "What are the risks to our business if we do nothing?"
Developing a base-case picture requires dedicating a team to reviewing historical data, process flow diagrams, material balance calculations, operator logs and procedures, number and location of different data sources, how reports are created and used, and other activities appropriate to completing a "where we are right now" audit.
While it's possible to use multiple interview teams, allowing the same team adequate time to conduct all the interviews often exposes weaknesses that might otherwise be overlooked, and it can provide a broader perspective of what needs to be addressed in the base case, as well as the strategic automation plan.
Discovery is about setting aside preconceived notions. Discovery is about conducting investigations that reveal business improvement opportunities. Discovery is about asking a lot of open-ended questions and faithfully following where the answers lead.
It's within the discovery process that outsiders (consultants or employees from another location) often produce more complete and often surprising findings than do insiders.
Insiders know the bumps and warts. They're aware of the culture. They may even be part of a problem. So, expecting insiders to objectively complete interviews without injecting their own interpretations into the responses is expecting a lot.
One effective interview process involves using a seasoned interviewer and a rookie. The advantage of such an interview team is that the seasoned interviewer knows what questions to ask in order to kick-start a conversation, while the rookie, who may be unfamiliar with the industry and process will unknowingly ask clarification questions that often provide much-needed details.
For example, place a seasoned interviewer and a newbie in a break room with a handful of operators and technicians and start by asking, "What was the worst shift you ever had to work in this facility?"
Pretty quickly, the stories are flying, and people are interrupting with "Oh, it didn't happen like that," or "That's nothing, let me tell you about…," and then the rookie says, "I don't understand. Tell me why that's such a big deal?" That's when the experienced operators and technicians transition into mentors, and begin diving into details that may eventually become gold.
When you resist injecting your own stories and listen closely, what you'll take away from such interviews is a list of clues—possibilities you need to investigate until you have identified the root cause or determined that the clue is truly a myth.
It's understandable why it's important to determine the root cause, but it's equally important to determine if "myths" are real or not.
Real myths are frequently the result of an occasional alignment of seemingly unrelated events. However, until actually proven to be a myth, you must assume there's validity in the "nuggets" operators have been collecting over the years. Seek out the most senior people, and shake and sift those nuggets until either there's nothing left or the "gold" is revealed.
Typically, discovery interviews begin as far up the organizational ladder as the interviewers can reach. It's at these top echelons that information strategic to the overall success of the business is defined and discussed. But, it's also important to check "low," and validate with operations to ensure alignment from top to bottom. For example, one refinery was operating exceptionally well, and executives were taking a great deal of the credit. During interviews with operators, the consultant learned that the operators were running the plant completely differently than the executives had defined. In other words, it was the operators' initiative that was contributing to the plant's success.

Big pharmaceutical companies increasingly demand evidence that a drug will have a paying market. But many of their erstwhile biotech partners aren't getting the message, according to a new industry report.
As the federal Affordable Care Act comes into force, drug companies are increasingly looking for evidence that health insurers will pay for new drugs, said the report. Instead, biotechs are focused on proving how efficient they are with investors' money.
The 27th annual industry report, done by the professional services firm Ernst & Young, was released Tuesday at the Biotechnology Industry Organization's convention in Chicago. It examined biotechs with a market value of less than $500 million. Most companies in San Diego's large life sciences industry fall into that category.
The warning to biotechs is that while they've been focused on research, the assumptions they've made about an eventual payoff may have become outdated, said Glen T. Giovannetti, the firm's global biotechnology leader, and a report author.
"What we see is this movement from a pay-for-activity to a pay-for-performance model," Giovannetti said. "It's much more based on value delivered than intervention."
Europe is further along in this process than the United States, he said, but the advent of the new health care system is causing the U.S. to catch up fast.
Failing to meet drug company expectations means that biotechs may go without partners, or get less for the drugs than they otherwise could, Giovannetti said.
Biotechs tend to delay considering insurance company payment potential until their drugs are in clinical trials, Giovannetti said. But drug companies want to see that work started well in advance.
John Mendlein, chief executive of San Diego-based aTYR Pharma, said drug companies are seeking reimbursement and other financial data progressively earlier in the drug development process.
"Even when you formulate a product concept, you need to take into account the commercial reality of when that product is going to get launched, and the reality of payer reimbursement and utilization," Mendlein said. "Basically, you need to define your specification for what you want out of a drug, to have enough patient benefit and value, to be recognized by reimbursers."
Mendlein said aTYR speaks with commercialization specialists, consults with doctors to understand the unmet patient need, and performs market studies as part developing its business plan.
The Ernst & Young report said that's the type of planning that biotechs should be doing. They also recommended hiring reimbursement specialists and adding them to the company's board.
In addition, the report said clinical trials should be designed to measure information meaningful to the drug companies. For example, companies should compare their product with the existing standard of care, rather than just show it is superior to a placebo.
But while most biotechs agree in concept that they need to show value, the companies haven't taken the steps to prove they're serious.
"When we ask them, is demonstrating the value of your product important, of course everyone said, yes it is," Giovannetti said. "Then we asked, are you putting expertise on your team, and we got a much lower response."
Of biotechs surveyed, 38 percent said they had discontinued a drug because of a lack of funding. But only 24 percent ceased drug development because it might not exceed the existing standard of care. And just 13 percent said they had added insurer reimbursement expertise to their clinical development teams.
Biotech companies won't necessarily be unable to sell pricey drugs, he said. But they will have to prove that their drugs lower the total cost of patient care, or provide a substantial improvement over existing therapies.
"The pressure comes when you launch a very expensive drug that shows only a marginal benefit," Giovannetti said.
Giovannetti said the message was driven home when the team talked with executives of big drug companies and venture capital investors about the same issues.
Brian Edelman, an Eli Lilly vice president, said in the report that biotechs can hurt their chances by entering a market with many competitors.
"Biotech firms do best in situations where the molecule is a new mechanism or action or addresses an untreated disease — making the health economic benefit intuitively obvious," Edelman said in the report. "But when companies are coming into a crowded disease state where there are competing therapies, we tend to see clinical data packages that do not differentiate products relative to the standard of care."
Lilly often finds that potential biotech partners haven't gathered important information in clinical trials, making it necessary to redo them. That reduces the value the biotechs get for the product, he said.
The venture capital firm Sofinnova Ventures increasingly considers reimbursement issues before making an investment, said general partner James Healy in the report. Sofinnova has an office in La Jolla and is headquartered in Menlo Park.
Healy said two of its companies demonstrated that their drugs can reduce hospital admissions. That's the kind of evidence insurers will want to see before agreeing to pay.

It's not everyday a plug-in comes along and gets me excited but Whoosh from Melted Sounds fits the bill. This new plug-in takes a sounds and flings them across your ears. If you watch the video above you can see it's feature rich. I really want to add my own sounds to this but that's not quite available yet. Adding your own samples will be added in a future update. You will need the full version of Reaktor to use Whoosh. $79 USD.
"Whoosh is a true sound design instrument and enables you to create breath taking whoosh and pass-by effects. It is possible to precisely design sounds varying from whistling wind whooshes to air ripping engine pass-bys or completely over the top granular sci-fi effects. The included doppler effects engine was designed from ground up to physical model the acoustic phenomena of an object that approaches, passes, and recedes from an observer. The individual playback engines, the source mixer and doppler engine can be manipulated in synchronized connection to each other. This makes it possible to playback the desired sound effect at different durations while remaining everything in perfect sync." – meltedsounds.com

The first three auctions of the assets of the defunct East Coast Brokers and Packers Inc., have brought more than $55 million.
In Aug. 15-16 and Aug. 19 auctions, bidders bought the assets of the Mulberry, Fla.-based East Coast and property from its owners, the Madonia family.
The first two auctions in Lakeland, Fla., saw buyers bid $48 million for thousands of acres of Florida farmland and packing facilities, worker camps and other agricultural assets, according to a news release.
Bidders offered $3.7 million for the Madonia-owned Red Rose Inn & Suites hotel in Plant City, Fla., and other non-agricultural assets.
As part of the Madonia's bankruptcy, five homes and other properties garnered $2.6 million, which included two $1 million luxury resort homes, in the third auctions in Virginia.
Carl Carter, a spokesman for auctioneer Murray Wise Associates, said he couldn't reveal the names of the winning bidders until approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of Florida in Tampa.
The Chapter 11 trustee accepted all bids except for the motel, he said.
Carter said both days of bidding attracted high interest.
An Aug. 20 auction is scheduled to try to sell 31 Virginia farmland properties totaling 3,228 acres as well as produce packinghouses, worker camps and other homes.

is an easy guide.
This guide asumes you are running a xbmc-live 9.04 wich
also means Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 with Nvidia restricted drivers 185.18.14
I bellive it however should be pretty "generic" but use this guide on your own risk. if you end up without a picture on your screen dont blame me.
Im no linux guru so if there are any who read this and find anything wrong please say so !
First of all make sure you backup you original xorg.conf.
your xorg conf is found here:
Then generate a new clean xorg.conf by doing this in a terminal:
sudo nvidia-xconfig
Now you have a new clean xorg.conf.
Do the following
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
then add the following lines in the correct section of that file:
Section "monitor"
Option "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "TRUE"
Section "Device"
Option "ModeValidation" "NoEdidModes"
Now close and save the file by hitting "Ctrl + X" on your keyboard. Then press "Y" and "enter"
Now we need to figure out what kind of resolution your TV supports by its EDID info:
Kill xbmc if it's running by
sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc-live stop
then we need to setup a logfile wich logs your tv's edid modes:
cd ~
X -verbose 6 > ~/xlog.txt 2>&1
kill X by pressing "Ctrl" + "C"
In the root of your home directory you will find a xlog.txt (/home/xbmc/xlog.txt)
Open the file and browse until you see something like this section:
(II) NVIDIA(0): Frequency information for SAMSUNG (DFP-1):
(II) NVIDIA(0): HorizSync : 15.000-50.000 kHz
(II) NVIDIA(0): VertRefresh : 48.000-62.000 Hz
(II) NVIDIA(0): (HorizSync from EDID)
(II) NVIDIA(0): (VertRefresh from EDID)
Write Down the HorizSync and VertRefresh values.
Browse further and find all the validated modes. Like the example underneath:
(II) NVIDIA(0): Validating Mode "1920x1080":
(II) NVIDIA(0): 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz
(II) NVIDIA(0): For use as DFP backend.
(II) NVIDIA(0): Mode Source: EDID
(II) NVIDIA(0): Pixel Clock : 74.25 MHz
(II) NVIDIA(0): HRes, HSyncStart : 1920, 2008
(II) NVIDIA(0): HSyncEnd, HTotal : 2052, 2200
(II) NVIDIA(0): VRes, VSyncStart : 1080, 1084
(II) NVIDIA(0): VSyncEnd, VTotal : 1094, 1124
(II) NVIDIA(0): H/V Polarity : +/+
(II) NVIDIA(0): Extra : Interlace
(II)NVIDIA(0): Mode is valid.
Make sure that the "(II)NVIDIA(0): Mode is valid." line exists on the one you pick. To create a modeline from this is easy. From my example above the first line would be "1920x1080" and then 74.25 and then 1920 2008 and 2052 2200 and so on. you just read the values from top to bottom.
So in this example the modeline that section gives me would be:
ModeLine "1920x1080" 74.25 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1094 1124 +hsync +vsync Interlace
Now that we got bot vsync,hsync and a working modeline lets put it in our xorg.conf.
issue from terminal:
sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Then add from what you wrote down earlier.
Section "Monitor"
HorizSync 15 - 50
VertRefresh 48 - 62
ModeLine "1920x1080" 74.25 1920 2008 2052 2200 1080 1084 1094 1124 +hsync +vsync Interlace
SubSection "Display"
Modes "1920x1080"
Now close and save the file by hitting "Ctrl + X" on your keyboard. Then press "Y" and "enter"
Start xbmc by running it:
sudo /etc/init.d/xbmc-live start
You should get a nice correct screen, make sure to go into settings - screen and calibrate/adjust your new resoultion.
If not try another modeline using same methods and see if that works.

Main Document
Tracker Video Analysis: Person Landing After a Jump
written by
Aaron Titus
This lab uses Tracker 4.0 video analysis software to measure and analyze the center of mass motion of a person landing after a jump. Students measure the acceleration of the person in free-fall and his acceleration while he is landing and slowing down. Students use the data to calculate the force of impact by the floor on the student during the landing. There are two video files: (1) the student bends his knees a maximum amount during the landing in order to decrease the force of impact by the floor; and (2) the student bends his knees a small amount in order to increase the force of impact on the floor.
Last Modified June 29, 2011
Supplemental Documents
Person Landing After a Jump Video Analysis Exercise
Students are asked to measure the force of impact by the floor on a person as he is landing on the floor after he jumps from a table. You will compare the impact force in two different cases: (1) he bends his knees as much as possible and (2) he bends knees a small amount.

Moises Rodriguez calmed one angry traveler after another on Wednesday afternoon as his airport shuttle company all but shut down because of a protest for LAX service workers.
Police closed Century Boulevard between Airport and Sepulveda boulevards for thousands of union marchers to make a stand against what they called threats to the health care benefits of contract workers at Los Angeles International Airport. They cheered and carried signs in an hourlong, half-mile pilgrimage that ended in a planned show of civil disobedience when a dozen protesters sat down in the middle of Sepulveda Boulevard.
The procession halted traffic in and out of the airport on one of the busiest travel days of the year from noon to 2 p.m. More than 100 LAPD officers, fire officials, airport police and 16 equestrian units oversaw the permitted protest.
"We can't get shuttle buses into the airport or out," Rodriguez said after one traveler cursed at him. "People think we are genies and we can get blink an eye and get them on the plane."
Frustrated travelers were forced to park about a mile from the airport and walk in with their luggage around throngs of excited protesters.
"I don't think the protesters are making any friends," David Britton said as he walked down Century with his rollaway luggage bag, hoping to make his flight to Dallas. "My daughter dropped us off about a mile back."
Twelve people were arrested on the misdemeanor charge of refusing to disperse after they sat down in a line at the intersection of Sepulveda and Century boulevards about 1 p.m. One other man was arrested after he repeatedly pushed a police officer, said Los Angeles Police Department Cmdr. Andrew Smith.
Most of the crowd was made up of representatives from Service Employees International Union 1877 and Good Jobs LA. Some airport employees joined the crowd, along with various other union supporters.
The march was a show of solidarity against airport contractor Aviation Safeguards, which no longer has SEIU contracts.
SEIU represents wheelchair attendants, skycaps, janitors, security guards and other LAX service workers. SEIU supporters said the union offers better health benefits than Aviation Safeguards.
Fanny Fuentes, a wheelchair attendant, said her children and husband might not be able to remain on her health care plan if her benefits change.
"My kids and my husband depend on my health care," she said. "I don't want Aviation Safeguards to be an example. So far we haven't been heard so we had no other choice than to come to the streets."
Marchers chanted into megaphones: "I'm fired up! Can't take it no more!" and "We are the 99 percent!"
As traffic backed up on surrounding blocks, drivers shared their frustration. Steven Koller, a US Airways flight attendant, worried he would miss his 12:45 p.m. flight.
"I wish they would have notified us," he said, sitting in stopped traffic. "But obviously it's an organized demonstration, and they have a right to do this."
On the civil disobedience line, Jaime Soto, a member of the Los Angeles College Faculty Guild, sat waiting to be arrested by LAPD officers.
"I'm in support of airline workers," he said. "We stand in solidarity with members of other unions to protect our health care and living wages."
