Total Newbie Question
Hey everyone.
So I have decided to get into cycling to get into shape. I am 6'2 and 275 pounds and I am looking to buy a bike to start out on over the summer, mostly for trail riding (nothing to serious) and just commuting and riding around my town.
The bike I was looking at was an old diamondback topanga. My problem is that I am really strapped for cash in this tough time, so for now, I really can't spend as much as I would want to on a bike. I found this online and I want to know if this would be a good place to start for me.
Here is a picture of the frame and fork, any input would be really helpful, Thanks a lot.
You left out the most important part--the wheels. Look for heavy duty wheels; 36 spokes if possible. If you're big, wheels are easy to break, and expensive to replace. Also, make sure it fits you. Try this link, and good luck.
THe frame looks really small for 6'2"
Alright, thanks for the help, I just heard back from the seller, he said it was a 21" frame, and it wheels it will come with are 36 spoke
How much is the asking price? Plan on having a bike shop tune it up. Usually about fifty dollars. 21" frame should be ok for your height and the pic looks like there's plenty seat post to spare if you need more.
The total package including the wheels will be a total of $110, it seems like a good deal to me, just from what I have seen looking around the internet
Alright, Yeah, that bike is way too small. Thanks for the help. I am looking at a GT Avalanche 3.0 now, any thoughts?
If the GT fits, is in good shape, at a good price and it gets you riding then it's a good deal. Most any MTB will support you and do what you want. Once you have ridden through the summer and get in shape you will know what you want to spend your money on for your next bike.
And welcome to the group.
Thanks for the help everyone. I went to a bike shop and got fitted. Turns out I have a pretty small inseam for a 6'2 person, so they recommended I try an L size frame as opposed to an XL frame, and that worked out great. I got the Avalanche and I love it. Should be going on a ride around parts of Lake Champlain this weekend with some friends. Thanks again everybody.
It is great to get your first bike to get in some fitness. It is even better to get a bike that fits!
Burlington, I go to school up there, looks like the weather is going to be good this weekend, looking forward to it!
hey Historian, if I was closer I'd be Famine. Thats perfect for someone trying to loose 70-100lbs right:innocent:
HickorySmokes - Congrats on the new ride and desire to get healthier.
If you want a really cool mountain bike ride (lots of road but the end of the ride is nice;)), start at Old Stage Rd and Center Rd. Ride out to Brigham Hill Road at Pages Corners, turn left. Follow Brigham Hill Road to Brigham Hill Ln (about 2.5 miles) and take a right. Brigham Hill Ln is a somofabeechin' steep hill but keep going. When you get to the end of the road there is a trial filled will baby heads that takes you down to Indian Brook Res. Poke around there for hours of fun.
+1 Original bike posted way too small.
Also, you should look for a rigid fork bike. Suspension forks are made for riders weighing 150 pounds or so. If that is your weight, great. Otherwise, not a good idea.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Fox 5.0 Mustang Tech' started by Allforspeed, Apr 2, 2005.
total dudes this guy has scammed is up to 4??!!! how much money has this guy stold from us??
also where did i post that it went from 1300 to 1100$???
by the way, i just had him post it up on ebay so i would supposedly be protected, i called ebay reps before hand to check this, i originally found his ad on stangnet and told him do COD or post it on ebay, os i already had pics of everything before i even had him post it on ebay
Hey man, I wasn't trying to be a jerk; I'm on your side 100%, just saying one post said something about $1100 (and the subject) and then you were talking about $1300. Maybe just a typo.
All I was saying about th ebay thing was that if they were to get technical, he really doesn't have much a description on the ebay auction. I would look into calling the credit card company like RS200 said.
Good Luck.
It's beside the point, but here are the quotes I was referring to:
good luck, let us know what happens
Sucks to hear you got scammed for that much money, I hope you get can it back. This guy should do jail time if he can't give everyone a full refund asap.
no problems 306, just a typo or something, it is now so undeniably clear that he was obviously out just to straight up rob people that i have no hope of getting my parts, sucks cause my car is all tore down now also, oh well, i'll keep this post current with all the trouble i go through to try and help other people when they search on how to avoid getting robbed,
for reference,
i have the found the ceo of ebay's email and plan to deal personally with him if ebay gives me any problems, figure just cut straight to the meat and dont waste time with copy monkeys
i have a list of every person with the last name tettemer in the surrounding 75 miles and with my free long distance i plan to call every one of them in the hopes of talking to his whole family to bring this close to home with him
i have contacted everybody who posted a response to his ad to try and find others who got robbed so this case can be brought as a group to add credibility,
i put this post up EVERY WHERE on the internet i could to try and let other know to stay away and help future searches on his name.
i have contacted the local sheriff and a local lawyer who can represent me in court should it come to that, they have both been super helpful by the way in Stroudsberg, a lawyer said he would represnet me for super cheap also since this is a super clear cut case and would only take him maybe 1/2 hour in court, he also says he will help me garnish his wages though that costs about another 50$ in fees for paperwork, but at least i can garnish his jail wages!
i can file in a number of ways, all felonies at this dollar amount,
these are the possible charges:
mail fraud (since he fraudulently used USPS)
credit card fraud
internet fraud
theft through deception
and by using the long arm statute of interstate commerce i can sue for 3X damages, that means that since he robbed me for 1100$ i can sue him for 3300$ and garnish his wages for the rest of his life until i get this amount back,
i can file all these charges both in his local court system and also in my local court system since he contacted me. i, however, can only sucessfully prosecute him in one district.
i have called my credit card company, their computers were down today but should be back up tomorrow. will try for a chargeback if possible
this dude says he will call me on monday but i am not holding my breath at this point
with the potential to make 3300$ of this guy in guaranteed money through garnishing his wages there is strong incentive for me to pursue my case to the bitter end, and i plan to do everything possible, even if i have to fly out there to deal with this personally. Pursuing justice is worth any cost to me, strictly on the principle and honor (or lack thereof).
thanks stangnet, hopefully this works out and i can keep my faith in humanity,
looks like the total amount of dudes he has ripped of is 4 with a grand total of about 4000$ of total money he has straight up robbed people of
i just spoke to ANOTHER guy who got ripped of in michigan for about 900$, this guy has robbed SOOO many people it is horrible. honest hard working people, there is more info at my sister post on corral:
I Just Spoke With The Stroudsberg Police And There Is Multiple Warrants Out On This Man!!!
If You Have Any Information On This Guy Call 570-421-6800 The Stroudsberg Regional Police, There Is Also A 500$ Reward On Any Information Leading To His Prosecution!!
If You Have Been Ripped Off By This Man, Call The Police And File A Case!!!
Get his ass man, looks like he ****ed with the wrong guy this time.
yeah, i will make sure i get this guy if it takes years, he already has warrants out for his arrest so makes it tough to try and find him but i'll do my best.
Considering there are already warrants out for his arrest... His family is probably going to hide his where-abouts... They probably will act like they don't know what you are talking about. So, good luck calling around to his family and friends. It shouldn't be too long before he gets behind bars though.
Have you ever seen that TV show.. the Mad Dog??? He his a proffesional Bounty hunter and a self-declared bad-ass! You might think about giving him a call, it would make for a good episode! (for real, that would frieking badass)
yeah, once i found out that there are multiple warrants out for his arrest i pretty much figured i am not getting my money back from him, called anyway cause its free and maybe they dont know got two leads so we will see what happens, who knows what his family might do/know??
What about pay-pal, and the credit company? If you were able to show proof that you got ripped off and have the sheriff fax over a warrant sheet for that man, I don't see why they wouldn't be able to refund the money back to you. A lot of credit cards have a built in felony re-imbursment (sp?) deal. How is that search goin?
yeah, my next battle is with paypal/ebay and my credit card companies, i have a few leads through calling every tettemer in PA but need to flesh them out so the search actually went better than planned, didn't expect to talk to anyone who might know anything, lot of robert tettemers out there though, would much prefer to just get my money back or my parts, tettemer, if your out there, please dont turn this into a legal battle cause i will certainly win and eventually, somehow, someway, i will get my money
thats a good solid combo by the way, proven and simple, what does that stock short block blown stang run? probably just blows the tires away on the street huh
I couldn't tell you what times it runs, but look for me to post times in the next month or so! (They will be 1/8 miles times though, because that is the closest track I have available to me).
As far as the performance feeling goes, it a damn solid powerful car considering the very minimal work I have put into it. 1st and 2nd are useless and 3rd barely holds on to traction.. so yeah... its a tire burner... Not nearly as powerful as a lot of the cars on this site though. It's nothing crazy, but respectible.
Man, I really wish you all the luck with your battles. I got screwed once by a man who sold me a fender for my 88LX over eBay. Bought the fender for 45 bucks, it was insured for 100. The fender came to me with a large dent in it (probably from shipping). Long story short, when using UPS the sender has to file for a insurance claim anytime a product is damage or stolen. The guy filed, recieved the 100 dollar insurance... along with my 45 dollar initial paymen and change e-mail adresses and I never heard from him again.
I know how it feels man, it pisses you off. But you gotta keep up the fight and not let go. This kinda of action is not acceptable by any decent human being. And if I can be of any assistance to you I am here, you just let me know.
This is a shame,and a horrible experience to have to go through.
This *******,Robert Tettemer,is less than zero and deservers some good old fashion, "vigilante justice",before the police get him, if theres anything left for them to get afterwards.( only recommending this form of justice if the parties administrating this form of justice get away 100% scot free).
A**holes like this should be shot!
I too have been a victim. $85 for a chrome BBK strut tower brace...made the guy an offer after his ebay auction ended sent payment with paypal to [email protected] and never heard from him since.
I think its safe to say all of us have been ripped off at one point but I have had good luck with stangnet! THANKS GUYS!!

The Manuscript Pattern Book of Figurehead Carver R. Lee
Among the many books on nautical architecture in the Library's Alfred S. Brownell Collection, there is one volume unlike the others. It is a notebook filled with the hand-drawn sketches of human and animal figures intended to become figureheads decorating nineteenth-century ships. The volume belonged to R. Lee, a figurehead carver working in Jersey, an island in the English Channel, and Lee seems to have been active there sometime around 1840.
You can now view the entirety of the pattern book online.
More information about Lee is available in volume 2, issue 3 of Occasional Nuggets.

I'm worried because I have one racquet that is 2 sizes smaller than the other and have heard two heat shrink sleeves can round the bevels too much. Is there anyone who plays with racquets of different sizes? If so, how noticeable is it? Also, has anyone applied two heat shrink sleeves? If so, how rounded were the bevels?

Hi Kevin,
Here is what you requested:
# rpm -q sip PyQt4 PyKDE4
Let me know if there is anything else I can dig out for you.
You're running the new F13 Rawhide, not F12.
Hmmm, I installed the F12 release DVD and did an update. Sorry but I did not notice that it actually got the F13 files...
I'll stop reporting untill I get the final F12 later this week.
Sorry about this.
Yeah, the f13 kdebindings are currently a bit broke.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 13 development cycle.
Changing version to '13'.
More information and reason for this action is here:
I believe this bug is not actual anymore, closing.

"Jazz flute is for little fairy boys." I dare someone to yell that out when Dungen master Gustav Ejstes whips out his flute. Just kidding. You stay classy, San Diego. The psych-rock Swedes will open up a can of Skit i Allt on Casbah tonight. The Stockholm-based quartet has left their prog-heavy tendencies behind on their newest, venturing into '70s electric folk and more song-centric sides. The guy's got a cool voice and knack for melody, often compared to Elliott Smith, I just wish I could understand what the hell he's saying. With Canadian shoegaze duo No Joy fronting this one, you're sure to get your RDA of psychedelics.... Belly Up books Jacksonville, F-L-A's JJ Grey & MOFRO. This swamp-rocking septet is a party on wheels, dishing up a blue-funk stew that will save your soul. Take a taste of their latest Alligator Records offering, Georgia Warhorse, at myspace.com/mofroband and boogie to the bar.... Austin's "choppy yet sincere" pop-punk fivesome the Riverboat Gamblers and L.A. indie act Victor Ship will dock at Bar Pink. Check out the wicked-cool cartoon vid for RG's "Robots Will Break Your Heart."
Friday 24
Ramona Mainstage lassos skate-punk faves D.R.I. (Still stands for dirty rotten imbeciles, Dad.) Kurt, Spike, and the rest of the Houston-based hardcores have been stirring the pit since 1982. Need a reason? Slap in 1985 punk-rawk staple Dealing with It. This year Beer City remastered a ton of that clatter. Check it out: beercityrecords.com.... Couple of hot-shit comics in town this week, starting with Drop Dead Diva and future Dancing with the Stars contestant Margaret Cho, who will yuk it up at Humphrey's by the Bay. Indie kids'll like this: Cho once declared on Canadian network TV her love for Broken Social Scene and asked if she could join the band "as a rainstick or a triangle." The host of the show called BSS front man Kevin Drew, and Cho left him a message. The SanFran madam is out to tout her latest record, Cho Dependent, which features a bit called "Eat Shit and Die." Nice.... Else: Teri Nunn's new-wave band Berlin ("Take My Breath Away") invades 4th&B...Soda Bar digs L.A.'s traveling "tropical-soul" show Fool's Gold, which will be heading off on a monster Euro tour behind their spanking-new s/t debut...and Tin Can Ale House stacks up a trick triple bill with punk'd R&B bands Frankie and the Outs, Hunx and His Punx, and Colleen Green. For more on Frankie, flip or click to Will's "Of Note." And you just have to check out Oakland-based solo-roller Colleen Green. The lady's the rage.

Adams Avenue Street Fair kicks off Saturday. Tons to tell, but this ain't the venue. Click this: adamsaveonline.com/StreetFair. How pissed am I that Peter Case and James Harman are playing at the exact same time on two different stages? Plenty. Don't get me stahted.... Comic Aziz Ansari hits House of Blues for a couple sets Saturday night. Ansari's on a break from hit TV series Parks & Rec and bringing his Dangerously Delicious tour to the peeps. Dude's best known for his oft-visited Raaaaaaaandy shtick, a hyperkinetic crasher comic that can show up anywhere.

a high pitched tone drone
just a short reece loop
LAYERS 019 - ALCHEMIC DREAM DRONE was created using Camel Audio's magnificent Alchemy Synth and Voxengo's Pristine Space convolution reverb. ...
I know that some people use sweeps for their transitions so I have made a dark sweep.
I tweaked a basic kick and I got that sound.
This is a very emotional arp. Good for love songs^^
Root Note C 130BPM Harsh Pad
Root Note A 145BPM EBM Arpegg
Root Note A_145BPM_EBM_Arpegg
loopable sequence of notes made with a VST minimoog
2nd part of Angelic Particles.Enjoy :]
Soft distortion reese. Notch filter and a fast LFO.
Isn't a reese synth really, but is a dual saw wave lightly detuned. Added glitch.
Dark reese made on a reFX Vanguard, its too simple, only detuned saw waves.
That reese is very distorted on low harmonics. I put some phaser too, because with phaser, sounds less raw.

NORTH FULTON, Ga. – With the spotlight focused on school safety following several high profile events, officials with the Fulton County School System continue their efforts to make schools as safe as possible for the more than 100,000 students and staff who pass through its doors each day.
September is National Preparedness Month, but safety efforts are a year-round priority, say officials.
"The Fulton County School System considers safety a part of its everyday operations," said Samantha Evans, spokesperson for Fulton Schools. "[We want to] make sure that students, parents and staff know of the district's preventive measures to keep them safe as well as what to do in an emergency."
Over the past several years, beginning with the Columbine shooting in Colorado and especially in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook tragedy and the Decatur school intruder incident, Fulton Schools has been increasing its overall security measures.
In 2001, the Fulton County School System was the first system in the state to have its school safety plan approved by the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA). The focus on school safety was enhanced six years ago with the hiring of Mark Muma as the director of safety and security for Fulton Schools. Muma was previously the school safety coordinator for GEMA.
A number of enhancements to school access and safety have been implemented in the past several years, primarily on the accountability of people who are in the schools during the school days. Long gone are the days when a wave and a nod would get you past the front desk to drop off forgotten items and cupcakes to your child's classroom.
Schools now require all visitors to sign in, state where they will be and for what purpose, and be badged whenever they are in the building.
Over the past three years, the screening of volunteers was upgraded, with all overnight chaperones requiring background checks, and those who work directly with students required to fill out a volunteer form and take a training session prior to working in a school. Last year, the state legislature passed a law that added school volunteers to the list of "mandatory reporters" of suspected child abuse.
Beginning this year, Muma said schools will install a visitor identification system so volunteers can sign in prior to going to their destination within the school.
"At the kiosk, a person will scan their driver's license and that will allow them to register into the system to make sure they have completed the [required] training," said Muma.
Over the next few months, the Fulton School Board will also consider a recommendation to install a front door access control system in schools. Visitors will identify themselves through a video and audio system prior to being allowed into the school.
Muma said a few schools in the system already have a "buzzer system" when allowing visitors into their schools, but the recommendation before the board is to have this system installed in all schools by the end of the school year.
"Especially after the Sandy Hook incident, schools really looked at [best practices] and having some type of buzzer system in place," said Muma. "There are a few systems – Fayette and Cobb – which have moved into having a video monitor system in place. We are looking to implement it system-wide in Fulton."
Muma said the goal of all of these systems is to simply track the movement of visitors both at the school and a central location for heightened security. Currently, the tracking is done locally through a variety of methods; however Muma looks to have them all using the same integrated system.
"All doors will be locked, and [front office staff] will see the visitor, talk to them and confirm why they are there before allowing them into the building and registering at the kiosk," said Muma.
Both the access control system and identification system are being funded through the 1 cent Special Purpose Location Option Sales Tax (SPLOST), which has been in place in Fulton Schools since 1999.
Fulton County Schools also is increasing its use of SchoolMessenger, a mass notification system that uses voice calls, email and text messaging to keep parents and staff members informed during an emergency. Parents can text 'YES' to 88544 to opt-in for emergency text alerts.
"Every school incident that happens [around the country] provides an opportunity for lessons to be learned so that we continually make improvements to our school security systems," said Muma.

Approximate evaluation of multi-location inventory models with lateral transshipments and hold back levels
We consider a continuous-time, single-echelon, multi-location inventory model with Poisson demand processes. In case of a stock-out at a local warehouse, a demand can be fulfilled via a lateral transshipment (LT). Each warehouse is assigned a pre-determined sequence of other warehouses where it will request for an LT. However, a warehouse can hold its last part(s) back from such a request. This is called a hold back pooling policy, where each warehouse has hold back levels determining whether a request for an LT by another warehouse is satisfied. We are interested in the fractions of demand satisfied from stock (fill rate), via an LT, and via an emergency procedure from an external source. From these, the average costs of a policy can be determined. We present a new approximation algorithm for the evaluation of a given policy, approximating the above mentioned fractions. Whereas algorithms currently known in the literature approximate the stream of LT requests from a warehouse by a Poisson process, we use an interrupted Poisson process. This is a process that is turned alternatingly On and Off for exponentially distributed durations. This leads to the On/Off overflow algorithm. In a numerical study we show that this algorithm is significantly more accurate than the algorithm based on Poisson processes, although it requires a longer computation time. Furthermore, we show the benefits of hold back levels, and we illustrate how our algorithm can be used in a heuristic search for the setting of the hold back levels.

In December 2009, the Las Vegas Sun published a letter of mine entitled "GOP has gone off the deep end." The letter was basically about how the party became polarized and unwilling to compromise regardless of the nation's problems. Now, the re-election of President Barack Obama has truly brought the crazies out of the woodwork. Elected politicians threaten to secede from the United States and some are calling for the impeachment of the president. These actions are based on hate and nothing else.
They lost the election because rational people went to the polls and rejected the GOP stance on the economy and social issues. The people have spoken, and I believe many of them were Republicans who voted for Obama because they didn't trust Mitt Romney due to his flip-flopping on almost every issue.
Many in the GOP seem to have lost their minds entirely. They deny the results of this election, insisting that magically it was fixed. Even as sane Republican leaders are speaking out, many of their party continue on the path of self-destruction. I have little doubt the GOP brand is poisonous and it will affect the party for years to come.

Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Are independent contractors liable for accidents in company car
I am currently working for a company teaching Bikram Yoga. The company provides housing and a car. I was on company business, on my way to purchase a new battery for one of the company cars, and I got in a car accident in the car while running this errand. Am I liable to pay the insurance deductible? Am I still considered an independent contractor while on business for the company other than that which I am contreacted to do (which is teaching yoga, not running errands for the owner)?

In the last two weeks before an election, candidates are required to report any large, last-minute donations by the next business day. For statewide candidates, this means any donation of $5,000 or more.
This is the first time, during the first five days of pre-election reporting, when a gubernatorial candidate has been out-raised by one of his or her downticket running mates. Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli reported donations of $147,000, compared to $1.3 million reported by Mark Obenshain, the GOP candidate for attorney general.

(NECN: Justin Michaels) - There is a line of more than 150 people on the other side of Fenway Park, all waiting for something they may never get, tickets to Game 6 of the World Series.
To pass the time, for some which has been days, they're playing baseball, they're having good conversation, and they're trying to keep themselves occupied for a huge reason, to keep warm.
And caught up with the first guy in line Fenway and talked about how the city has come together to support this group. His name is James and he got here at 7:00 Monday night.
James Beaudry, 1st fan in line at Fenway, said, "Not much sleeping really, it's socializing with people in line. Laughing, having a good time, eating food. People have been coming by giving us drinks and snacks and stuff, a lady came by last night she gave me two pillows. The city has really come together to support us."
Red Sox officials have not said whether or not there are any available tickets. Those 150 people are all waiting in line for a big "if."
But though they can't count on tickets, one thing we all can count on is security, and lots of it.
The city held a media conference yesterday to talk about the enhanced security around Game 6.
Mayor Tom Menino said, "One of the things I want to tell you is that we have a plan. A plan that I think will work did we just ask everyone that comes here to use public transportation, Have a great time."
Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said, I'm very confident in the plan that we have. You're going to augment our officers with officers from the region area will have concentric circles of security around Fenway will there will be parking regulations that going to affect around 4 p.m.."
Towing starts at 4 p.m.
Mayor Menino has encouraged employers to let workers leave at 4 p.m. and to use public transportation.
The "T" will run later if necessary, but not so late to accommodate people who just want to stay in the city to celebrate.
The goal is to offer a good time in Boston to celebrate this game and hopefully a win, but to keep this city as safe as possible.
There are parking restrictions Wednesday afternoon with Game 6 of the World Series and Obama's arrival. Follow this link for more.

REVIEW: Fujitsu P27T-6 IPS
Author: Damian Köb
++ very good, + good, +/- satisfactory, - bad, -- very bad
The model range of Fujtsu's Superior or P-Line monitors, as it is called as well, represents innovative solutions and highest image quality. Recently, the Superior portfolio has been extended by the 27-inch Fujitsu P27T-6 IPS. According to its name, Fujitsu relies on the advantages of an IPS panel, the specifications of which sound promising. Offering a native resolution of 2.560 x 1.440 pixels with 16:9 picture size, a detailed and large working space like that of the Fujitsu P27T-6 IPS is otherwise only to be found in 30-inch displays.
Covering 102 per cent of the NTSC colour scale, the enhanced colour space is able to display 1,07 billion colours. The internal 12 bit LUT provides high precision and finest colour gradation. Besides from a variety of interfaces and ergonomic adjustment possibilities, the Fujitsu P27T-6 also comes with a brightness sensor and intelligent energy saving functions – the list of specifications is long. Starting our test, we have high hopes and are quite curious if the Fujitsu P27T-6 is able to keep up with its specifications in the field.
During the test procedure, the monitor was connected to the digital DVI port of an Asus GTX 275 via DVI cable. All colorimetric measurements were accomplished with a spectrophotometer (EyeOne Pro) in conjunction with Quato's iColor software and Colorimetre HCFR. The lowest black level was determined with a colorimetre (X-Rite DTP94). Connected via HDMI cable, Sony's BDP-S350 blu-ray player was used as external feed source.
Not exactly what you call a lightweight, the Fujitsu P27T-6 plus package weighs 13,7 kilograms, and its stately carton is 80 x 60 x 30 centimetre (W x H x D) of size. However, two recesses at the side allow to transport it in a quite comfortable way. With manufacturer logo, monitor name and some key figures printed on its surface, the package itself is kept simple.
Inside the box only two styrofoam shells are needed to keep the Fujitsu P27T-6 safely and because of its huge overall dimensions there is no lack of space. Cables and other accessory find lots of space in the corners of the box and are separated from the monitor through styrofoam inserts. Due to its preassembled stand, the Fujitsu P27T-6 is operational as soon as it is taken out of a surrounding plastic pouch.
As scope of supply, Fujitsu encloses cables for the following connections: DVI-D, DisplayPort, USB upstream, audio and power cord. Packed separately in another plastic bag we find a software CD and quick manuals as well as a security and warranty guide.
The picture shows the accessory the Fujitsu P27T-6 is provided with.

Last month, I set my phone up to download ungodly amounts of podcasts, mostly video podcasts. I managed to get my data usage up to 27 gigs.
I received no notice informing me that I was in the top 5%. During this same billing period, I was noticing users complaining on XDA that they were getting warnings from AT&T about being in the top 5%. When it was asked how much data it took them to get into the top 5%, it seemed to be right around the 5 gig mark. It was then asked what data consuming apps they were using. In their response it seemed to be that netflix was a common factor to get flagged to be in the top 5%.
This month, I started using netflix on my phone just to see if I would get flagged at the 5 gig mark...Low and behold, I received the warning yesterday notifying me I was in the top 5%, right at the 5 gig mark. All it took was for me to watch one movie.
So this is why I believe its rigged, out of all the unlimited data subscribers AT&T has, they're telling me from month to month there is a 22 gig difference in what it takes to be in the top 5%? It seems as though this is a major anti-net neutrality move on AT&T's part against netflix traffic.

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." ~ T. E. Lawrence
Here's Part 4 of our Southern Adventure from back in April. I still can't believe it was a whole 2 months ago! You can read Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 if you'd like to get caught up.
The day after our adventure at Fort Campbell with my brother and his family, we all piled in his car and drove down to Nashville for a mini day-trip. Our first stop was a late lunch at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. The place is beautiful! We wandered through their massive conservatories and pointed out the "fishies" and "duckies" to my niece. Opryland reminds me a lot of the hotels on the Vegas Strip – practically a world unto itself with restaurants for every palette and plenty to see and do.
Then we headed down to the Grand Ole Opry – the highlight of our trip. On a Sunday afternoon the Opry was already closed up for the day and we hadn't thought to book a tour. But I loved getting to wander the grounds of a place with so much history. J and I enjoy our country tunes and it was neat to see a venue that has played so heavy a role in the country music scene.
With the little niece in tow and a necessary nap-time on the horizon, we didn't have time to visit downtown Nashville. J and I have agreed that it just means we have to check it out during a future trip to TN. We will be back and ready to explore some of the local honky-tonks!

Afternoon analysis 30.10.2015:
In spite of a hawkish Fed the dollar dropped. In contrast, the euro gained on inflation and unemployment reports. China surprised again. The zloty exceeded gains.
Today's data from the US were slightly worse than expectations. Household income and spending both increased 0.1 percent on a monthly basis. A result weaker than the plus 0.2 percent expected. Last month both measures increased 0.4 percent.
The core PCE inflation (that measures prices excluding volatile food and energy costs) also missed the forecast. The most important price measure for the Federal Reserve increased 0.1 percent on a monthly basis. It increased 1.3 percent on a yearly basis. The University of Michigan sentiment index also missed the forecast.
On the other hand, the Chicago PMI index exceeded the expectations and suggested an improvement in the industry. The reading showed the strong growth of production and orders. Comments in the report pointed out that last month's weak result was an aberration and the prospect is positive.
To sum up, today's reports have shown that the inflation rate remains subdued and consumption was weaker. However, given the report on GDP in the third quarter, consumption seemed strong. As a result, it is hard to believe that the latest data will alter the Federal Reserve's plans. In October's statement the Fed pointed at its December meeting as the possible moment of the hike.
Correction mood
In spite of clear suggestions from the Fed regarding interest rate hikes at its next meeting, the market is not fully pricing a similar scenario. The currency market tendencies are also different than expected. The EUR/USD increased for the second day.
The euro was supported by economic reports. The unemployment rate in the monetary union dropped to 10.8 percent from 10.9 percent in the preceding month. The result was better than the 11 percent expected by analysts. And the inflation rate was also better than the forecast. Although the consumer price growth was flat, the index that excludes volatile food and energy prices increased 1 percent against the 0.9 percent that was expected.
The last session of the week brought a rebound of the common currency. The severe decline of the EUR/USD in the last two weeks needed correction. However, in the longer term the hawkish Fed and the European Central Bank's plan to expand stimulus will not allow this tendency to hold.
China surprises again
China plans to soften capital controls. The People's Bank of China said it will launch a trial program to allow domestic investors to purchase foreign assets. The Chinese government is going to strengthen the yuan's role as a global currency and force the IMF to include it in a reserve currency basket.
Information helped the yuan. The currency gained 0.6 percent against the dollar. It was the largest increase since China dropped the currency peg in 2005. It was yet another surprise from China in the last few days. Yesterday nation's government said it will drop the one-child policy.
Zloty extended gains
The correction in the broad market supported the zloty. Recently the Polish currency was the weakest among the emerging market currencies. It was caused by heightened political risk due to general elections.
However, the extent of the zloty's rebound will be limited by the Fed's plan to raise rates. The probability of a similar mover increased after October's statement. Given the situation, a longer appreciation period is not very likely.

Detailed Description:
In Japan and in some western treatment centers, there has been a general belief that more extensive surgery may improve outcome for patients with localized, operable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Initial retrospective reports from centers in Japan suggested that 5-year overall survival rates in patients treated with pancreaticoduodenectomy plus extended lymphadenectomy were higher than those in patients treated by pancreaticoduodenectomy with standard lymphadenectomy. Subsequent prospective randomized trials performed in Europe and the United States failed to confirm a survival benefit from extended lymphadenectomy. Although they failed to confirm a survival benefit from extended lymphadenectomy, the studies had a few pitfalls. The need for Well-designed randomised controlled study is the starting point of our study. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that more extensive nodal and soft-tissue clearance in patients with adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas would improve survival without an increase in morbidity and mortality.

Insanity virus -- a crazy idea? / Mainstream psychiatric outcast ponders parasitic mental illness
Published 4:00 am, Monday, August 5, 2002
An unknown infectious agent may be responsible for a five-fold increase in mental illness over the last two centuries, a controversial psychiatrist proposes in a new book.
The claim by Dr. E. Fuller Torrey, a noted psychiatrist-author and scourge of mainstream psychiatry, challenges common explanations that mental illness is caused by a combination of genetic factors and environmental influences, such as family upbringing.
Torrey's new book also defies two schools of academic thought: One is that rates of at least one major type of mental illness, schizophrenia, have sharply declined or remained stable.

The second is that the extensive construction of "insane" asylums from the 18th to the mid-20th centuries was at least partly driven by nonmedical aims --
to suppress iconoclasts and other socially marginal people.
To test his hypothesis, Torrey and his associates are quietly investigating whether they can ease mentally ill persons' symptoms by giving them antiviral and anti-parasitic drugs. More than 100 volunteers are presently involved in the trials, now under way at Sheppard-Pratt psychiatric hospital in Baltimore and at a psychiatric hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, where Torrey was a Peace Corps physician in the 1960s.
Torrey, 65, is a prolific author and veteran gadfly who is also a professor of psychiatry at the Uniformed Services University in Bethesda, Md. From 1970 to 1975, he was a special assistant to the director of the National Institutes of Mental Health. Over the years, he has antagonized figures on both sides of long-running debates over mental health care and involuntary commitment of the mentally ill.
His new book, "The Invisible Plague: The Rise of Mental Illness from 1750 to the Present" (Rutgers University Press), co-authored with his research assistant Judy Miller, has received respectful but not uncritical reviews. Acknowledging he is "a distinguished U.S. researcher in psychiatry," Nature magazine's review of the book called it a "highly informative and stimulating work."
Traditionally, debates over the origin of mental illness, like debates over human nature in general, have tended to fall into two broad camps, "nature" and "nurture."
The "nature" approach holds that biological factors, such as genes and biochemical influences, control mental illness. The "nurture" approach emphasizes environmental factors such as family upbringing. Historically, psychiatry seems to swing back and forth between favoring one explanation or the other.
The most famous "nurture" explanation, one that dominated American psychiatry after World War II, came from psychoanalysis, especially the Freudian school, which emphasized the importance of childhood sexual experiences. "There was no scientific evidence to support it," Torrey and Miller assert.
Nowadays, "nature" theories attract more attention, especially with the purported success of psychiatric medications such as Prozac, and the studies that claim to link certain genes to specific mental illnesses.
Torrey acknowledges that mental illness, like most illnesses, is influenced by genetic tendencies. Yet the genes are not overriding: Even genetically identical twins can markedly differ in their degree of mental health. Furthermore, as Torrey and Miller write in their book, "the most serious criticism of genetic theories of schizophrenia and manic-depressive illness . .
. is what (the late British psychiatrist) Edward Hare labeled 'the persistence problem.'
"From the middle of the 19th century until the middle of the 20th century, most individuals with schizophrenia and manic-depressive illness were confined to asylums for the majority of their reproductive years. Their rate of procreation was extraordinarily low, and so the transmission of their genes was infrequent. Yet during these same years, the prevalence of schizophrenia and manic-depressive illness increased rapidly."
This, plus the fact that scientists have had great difficulty finding a specific genetic factor -- one that is consistently replicated in study after study -- "is a strong argument against these diseases being primarily genetic in origin."
What makes Torrey and Miller almost unique is that they are among the few scholars (Hare is another one) who have seriously argued that rates are increasing. In their book, Torrey and Miller cite medical records that show a five-fold rise in mental illness since the 18th century. By mental illness, they are referring to schizophrenia, severe manic depression and psychotic depression.
They note that around 1750, the British author Samuel Johnson claimed that insanity was increasing. One chart in their book shows that between 1840 and 1955, the number of "mentally ill" in the United States soared from 2,561 to 558,922. During that same period, the U.S. rate of mental illness rose from 0. 15 case per 1,000 persons to 3.38 per 1,000.
The best explanation for this trend, they argue, is biological. They suspect that an unknown infectious agent is responsible for the increase, and possibly other biological factors as well, such as "changes in diet and exposure to toxins." Growing population and urbanization allowed the infectious agent -- a virus or parasite -- to spread more rapidly in the densely populated cities, they suggest.
But Torrey and Miller's argument contradicts older epidemiological studies that show schizophrenia is decreasing or stable.
In 1990, the British medical journal The Lancet published the article "Is Schizophrenia Disappearing?" by Geoffrey Der of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and two colleagues. Their statistical analysis of patient data from England and Wales persuaded them that "there has been a substantial decrease, beginning in the mid-1960s, in the incidence of schizophrenia."
Critics accuse Torrey and Miller of sociological naivete. That's because they don't adequately take into account the ever-changing standards of psychiatric diagnosis. In other words, what one generation defines as "mental disturbance" may be defined differently by another generation.
Their attempt to lump together mental illness rates from different centuries "seems akin to comparing apples and oranges," Dr. Kenneth S. Piver said in a review of their book for the June 26 Journal of the American Medical Association.
There's a famous recent example of shifting psychiatric diagnoses: homosexuality. Until the 1970s, psychiatrists classified it as a mental disorder.
Torrey and Miller's book also attacks historians of psychiatry. Since the 1960s, historians have argued that many asylum builders were driven by nonmedical, even ignoble, motives. The most famous of these scholars is the late Michel Foucault, a French luminary who taught intermittently at UC Berkeley just before his death in 1984.
According to Foucault and researchers inspired by him, in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries many so-called "insane" people were really just iconoclasts of one sort or another -- harmless eccentrics, sexual deviants, troublesome elderly people and the politically unorthodox. By defining them as "insane" and locking them up, the authorities got rid of potential troublemakers.
Torrey and Miller disagree. They cite historical accounts indicating that our ancestors were genuinely baffled by rising levels of insanity. It struck them as something very new and terrifying, as not being merely the latest fashion in iconoclasm. Judging by 19th century clinical descriptions of insane patients, they would probably be judged mentally ill nowadays, too, Torrey says.
Torrey and Miller attack intellectuals, including Foucault, who they charge,
"have claimed that insane asylums were built merely to put away troublesome people." These writers "got it completely wrong. The evidence we discuss in the book makes it clear that insane asylums were built in response to a perceived need to accommodate increasing numbers of insane persons."

Pluristem Therapeutics Inc., a leading developer of placenta-based cell therapies, today announced it has received approval from the Paul-Ehrlich-Institute (PEI), the medical regulatory body in Germany, to commence a Phase 1/2 randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study to assess the safety and efficacy of its PLX cells, through intramuscular injections, for the regeneration of injured gluteal musculature following total hip replacement.
Muscle damage is a common result of hip replacement surgery, which is rising in incidence in Europe and other developed nations. The incidence of hip replacement surgery in the European Union is approximately 150 per every 100,000 people. On average, the number of hip replacement surgeries in the EU increased one-third between 1998 and 2008. The company believes that in the United States there are 300,000 total and partial hip replacements each year.
Eighteen patients scheduled to undergo a total hip replacement will participate in this study. The subjects will randomize to one of three treatment arms, including two active-treatment arms and one placebo arm. On day one of the study, subjects will undergo total hip replacement surgery. Subjects will receive either PLX cells or placebo, through intramuscular injection, during the procedure. The expected total active duration of the study for each subject is 12 months.
"This is an important new indication for PLX cells, as beyond potentially showing safety and efficacy in muscle regeneration after hip replacement surgery, this opens PLX cells to the possibility of addressing large new markets in sports injury treatment and muscular regenerative medicine," said Zami Aberman, Chairman and CEO of Pluristem. "We are very pleased with the growing number of new indications and new clinical trials currently initiated for our PLX cells around the world."

Former Motorola VP Burgess join Zoran's board of directors
Post a comment
SAN FRANCISCO Longtime Motorola Inc. executive Ray Burgess has joined Zoran Corp.'s board of directors, Zoran said Wednesday (April 27).
Burgess was a fixture of Motorola's Semiconductor Product Sector (SPS) from 1984-2004, holding a number of high-ranking executive positions during his tenure, including corporate vice president of strategy, marketing and communications.
Burgess left Freescale Semiconductor Inc., the successor to SPS that Motorola spun-out in 2004, in July 2004 as part of what Will Strauss, industry analyst and president of Forward Concepts Co., said at the time was part of a management shakeup engineered by then newly appointed Freescale Chairman and CEO Michel Mayer.
In a statement issued by Zoran, Levy Gerzberg, president and CEO, said Zoran is looking forward to Burgess' advice and counsel. Gerzberg said that Burgess was well-known for his leadership abilities during his years at Motorola, "growing businesses that address many of the global markets similar to those Zoran serves today."
Zoran (Sunnyvale, Calif.) provides digital ICs for consumer applications.

What our Customers
Say about Cool-Jams:
"Before I started wearing my Cool-jams p.j.'s, I could never sleep through the night without waking up completely soaked in sweat. It was common for me to change my p.j.'s several times per night. These pajamas are the best. I only wish I would have found them sooner!" - Gini H., Salt Lake City, UT
"My husband and I bought your pajamas to use while traveling. I bought the Jillian 3 piece pajama set. The jacket doubles as a bathrobe. They pack well, they are compact, don't wrinkle, dry fast if I need to wash them while on the road. I highly recommend Cool jams for travel. And I wear them at home too!" - Barbara C., Davis, CA
"The package arrived very quickly. Ill purchase more of these products from Cool-jams in the future. Recommend all to buy from this seller because the product is well made and very effective for keeping me cool at night." - Debra P., Shakopee, MN
"I have 2 pairs and have been recommending them to everyone I know with hot flashes! Unfortunately, I have already lost a pair (left at a hotel), so I'm replacing them. They are the BEST- you need to get the word out! I travel a lot and never leave home without them." - Valerie M., South Deerfield, MA
"Thank you very much for taking care of the order I placed for Mother's Day. I heard from my mother on Friday and she had already received the nightgown. She loves the fabric and your service was very quick. Thanks to you I am still her favorite child." - Lynda S., Orlando, FL

Cute cool, cami!2014-08-10
This is a great cami for sleeping. I like the shelf bra which helps give me a bit of support. The fit is not super tight which makes it comfortable and cool. I bought it to go with matching long pant and short in pink. Nice colors and quality.
