It's not worth it anymore. [One shot - contains Self-harm and suicide]
Gerard's POV
The tears fell, each as empty as the last, each with no meaning. Like myself. Like every other living organism stuck on this hell hole of a planet, confined by the restictions of the endless torture of a video game known as life. My pitiful reflection showed no emotion as I watched myself in the bathroom mirror. My jet black hair was glued to my head with sweat, my eyes showed signs of tiredness and constant sobbing. I skimmed my eyes lower, seeing nothing but a pathetic, useless body. I shook my head and staggered uneasily, backwards into the bathoom sink that stood behind me. What did I have? No one needed me. Not really...
I'd tell you I wasn't thinking, but I was. Too much, in fact. I'd tell you I was fine, but I know you'd see though it, Frank. You may as well take the fucking razor and press it against my own skin, drag it across me, for all I care. You created this monster. N-No... You... you chained this monster... but then you let him free again. Frank, why would you do that to me? Why would you free him?
My legs buckled under me, my overwhelming thoughts causing me to choke back a sob as the tears streamed. I grabbed the blade again, and, letting out a shaking breath, dragged it across my flesh, allowing the vivid red teardrops to fall. My skin was crying. Every cell of my body was crying and it could not be stopped. I tried again, again, but no matter how deep I went, the pain never lessened. Why wasn't it working? Why?
I'd kill myself, just to have you back by my side. I would, Frank, I would. ou know I would. Y--You know that, right? Why can't you help me Frank? Why couldn't I help you? I should've noticed, Frank. I should've fucking noticed. I want you Frank, and only you. Only you.
I sobbed harder, holding the shining blade in my shaking hands as I cried. I couldn't stop crying. My eyes were dead, my heart no longer filled with the hope it felt only days ago. That hope... Where did it go? Where is it now? Sitting in Starbucks, waiting for me? Curled up in bed, asleep, with an innocent smile? Watching a movie downstairs? Or perhaps in a morgue?
Frank, why? Why? I would've helped you! I would've given you anything, I would've done I promise. I pr-promise, Frank, I do. I fucking do. Don't... question that. I do. I can't live without you, Frank. I can't. I need you. How could you?! You must've known what this would do to me! You must've done!
I grabbed the razor again and slashed a deep vertical line down my left forearm. The pain was welcoming, I felt myself slip futher away with each second as I bleed to death. And finally, finally I was at peace.
I have you again Frankie. Don't ever leave me like that again. I was so worried. I thought I;d never see you again. I love you so much, don't you know? So much. I fucking love you.

Ireland's Experience: Episode 5 - The Aftermath
Thousands never returned home to their loved ones after an Armistice was declared on the 11th of November, 1918. Those who did survive arrived back to a very different Ireland to the one that existed in 1914 when war broke out. It was a divided country, bracing itself for conflict as Sinn Fein triumphed in the 1918 general election and vowed to establish their own parliament in Dublin. In this programme, we explored the brutal legacy of the war, from the traumatised victims of shell shock to bereaved families of fallen soldiers. We heard the stories of the veterans - ...http://www.rte.ie/radio1/the-history-show/programmes/2014/0831/638320-the-history-show-sunday-31-august-2014/?clipid=1655394

Rewarding Journey Ahead for This Data Company
Shweta is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
After its first quarter results, Teradata (NYSE: TDC) dropped to $58, a 7% decline from its stock price six months ago. The company's total revenue received pressure from its Americas region, due to a decrease in the purchases from customers.
Teradata reports its total revenue in three software segments: products, maintenance services, and consulting services. License sales of Teradata's database and applications generate revenue for the product software segment. Revenue of the products software segment declined 19%, year-over-year, to $249 million. Customers delayed purchases of new and expensive data warehouses and preferred to hire consultants to improve the performance of their current data warehouse facilities. Consequently, the company's consulting service revenue increased 11%, year-over-year, to $338 million.
To register growth in the upcoming quarters, the company is betting on its new data warehouse management's portfolio. The introduction of 'Hadoop,' a database management technology, in its product portfolio is expected to be the major revenue generator of the company.
No major headwind from competitor
A new database management technology, 'Hadoop,' earlier posed a big threat for Teradata due to its attractive low cost features.
As per the above table, Hadoop is more economical than Teradata's other data management technology. Facing risk from the low cost Hadoop, the company announced, on June 26, a new portfolio of data warehouse products including applications for Hadoop. The Teradata appliance for Hadoop is a standalone server installed with Hadoop. Though economical, the installation and maintenance of Hadoop requires technical expertise.
To decrease the complexities arising from installation and managing Hadoop, Teradata formed a partnership with Revelytix to include its software 'Loom' with Hadoop. Revelytix is a commercial software company that provides tools for enterprise information management.
Loom will bring key features to Hadoop including dynamic dataset management to decrease the complexities of Hadoop. The Hadoop market expects to grow at a rate of approximately 55% from $2.31 billion in 2013 to $8.96 billion in 2016. This growth prospect of Hadoop fortifies Teradata's new portfolio.
The company's direct competition for data warehousing comes from Amazon.com's (NASDAQ: AMZN) Redshift, which was introduced last year, and its wide scale commercialization started a few months ago. Amazon set a price for on-demand usage of $0.85 per hour and in a reserved instance, a one-year contract for the same service costs around $0.22. On-demand usage pricing allows the user to pay for capacity used on hourly basis. Reserved instance pricing accounts for cost for particular time period like for one year term or three year term. The on-demand cost for deploying Redshift is expected to be $4,945 per terabyte per year. This is lower than the $7,000 per terabyte per year cost of dataware solution of Teradata.
The inclusion of Hadoop and Loom enhanced the efficiency of Teradata's dataware solution, but also increased its cost. In terms of features, Redshift isn't a strong competitor to Teradata's data warehouse solution, but it is a profitable bet for Amazon. Redshift saves around $1000 per terabyte per year, on the basis of long term usage of capacity. Due to this cost saving strategy, Amazon will be able to target a larger customer base including small enterprises and individual customers. With this, Amazon expects its other web services' revenue to increase around 20%, year-over-year, to $6.28 billion this year.
Advancing with the Americas
Teradata will see a surge in its Americas market with new customer deals. These new customer acquisitions started at the end of the first quarter and include deals from an aerospace company and a direct broadcast satellite service provider company DirecTV (NASDAQ: DTV).
DirecTV will use Teradata's facilities in Latin America for customer segmentation and retention. DirecTV's Latin America revenue increased 16% year-over-year, to $1.7 billion in the first quarter, primarily due to an increase in the number of customers in Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia. The middle market focused programming and the growing popularity of prepaid products of the company led to its growth in this region.
The modification of features to its data warehouse facilities, with the inclusion of Hadoop, will be an added advantage for DirecTV. DirecTV's growth aspects from Latin America are expected to increase this region's revenue from $6.3 billion in 2012 to $7.68 billion in 2013.
Furthermore, Teradata sees an opportunity from an aerospace company. The aerospace company will use Teradata's enterprise resource planning software for its cost reduction program. All the above mentioned new deals are expected to raise its Americas revenue around 7%, year-over-year, to $1.68 billion in 2013.
Teradata is one of the leading companies to provide enterprise wide data warehousing. To maintain its dominance, the company seems to be moving in the right direction with its development plans of data warehouse platforms with the inclusion of Hadoop. Teradata also expects growth in the Americas region. Even though the first quarter was quite slow, future quarters will bring growth opportunities for Teradata. I expect the above discussed strategies will bring much needed support to the stock in the future.

Volumes of Evidence - Examining Technical Change Last Century Through a New Lens
AbstractAlthough technical change is central in much of modern economics, traditional measures of it are, for a number of reasons, flawed. We discuss in this paper new indicators based on data drawn from the MARC records of the Library of Congress on the number of new technology titles in various fields published in the United States over the course of the last century. These indicators, we argue, overcome many of the shortcomings associated with patents, research and development expenditures, innovation counts, and productivity figures. We find, among other things, the following: the pattern and nature of technical change described by our indicators is, on the whole, consistent with that of other measures; they represent innovation not diffusion; a strong causal relationship between our indicators and changes in TFP and output per capita; innovations in some sub-groups have had a greater impact on output and productivity than others and, moreover, the key players have changed over time. Our indicators can be used to shed light on number of important issues including the empirical relationship between technology shocks and employment, the role of technology in cross-country productivity differences, and the part played by technological change in growing skills premia in the U.S. during the last few decades.

Abstract. The influence of glassy states and highly viscous solution phases on the timescale of aerosol particle equilibration with water vapour is examined. In particular, the kinetics of mass transfer of water between the condensed and gas phases has been studied for sucrose solution droplets under conditions above and below the glass transition relative humidity (RH). At RHs above the glass transition, sucrose droplets are shown to equilibrate on a timescale comparable to the change in environmental conditions. Below the glass transition, the timescale for mass transfer is shown to be extremely slow, with particles remaining in a state of disequilibrium even after timescales of more than 10000 s. A phenomenological approach for quantifying the time response of particle size is used to illustrate the influence of the glassy aerosol state on the kinetics of mass transfer of water: the time is estimated for the droplet to reach the halfway point from an initial state towards a disequilibrium state at which the rate of size change decreases below 1 nm every 10000 s. This half-time increases above 1000 s once the particle can be assumed to have formed a glass. The measurements are shown to be consistent with kinetic simulations of the slow diffusion of water within the particle bulk. Similar behaviour is observed for binary aqueous raffinose solution droplets consistent with the influence of a glass transition on mass transfer. Mixed component droplets of sucrose/sodium chloride/water also show slow equilibration at low RH, illustrating the importance of understanding the role of the bulk solution viscosity on the rate of mass transfer with the gas phase, even under conditions that may not lead to the formation of a glass.

Nancy Jensen
Adult Fiction JENSEN
Summary: In the tradition of Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping and Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kitteridge, a dazzling debut novel about the family bonds that remain even when they seem irretrievably torn apart Growing up in hardscrabble Kentucky in the 1920s, with their mother dead and their stepfather an ever-present threat, Bertie Fischer and her older sister Mabel have no one but each other--with perhaps a sweetheart for Bertie waiting in the wings. But on the day that Bertie receives her eighth-grade diploma, good intentions go terribly wrong. A choice made in desperate haste sets off a chain of misunderstandings that will divide the sisters and reverberate through three generations of women. What happens when nothing turns out as you planned? From the Depression through World War II and Vietnam, and smaller events both tragic and joyful, Bertie and Mabel forge unexpected identities that are shaped by unspeakable secrets. As the sisters have daughters and granddaughters of their own, they discover that both love and betrayal are even more complicated than they seem. Gorgeously written, with extraordinary insight and emotional truth, Nancy Jensen's powerful debut novel illuminates the far-reaching power of family and family secrets.

The Congress on Saturday appeared to disapprove of Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh for his comment that there were more temples in the country than toilets.
"We respect the sanctity of every religious place irrespective of the community it belongs to. I do not know the statement attributed to Ramesh. Perhaps it could have been distorted and he is in the best position to explain."
"The Congress party believes in sarvadharmasambhav. Equal respect for all religions. Equal respect for all religious places," party spokesman Manish Tewari told reporters.
The BJP hit out at Mr. Ramesh saying he should not make such statements which "hurt the fine fabric of faith and religion" in the country.
"Making of toilets and having faith in a religious place of worship are two different things. India is a multicultural country where we should have unblemished faith in a temple, a mosque, a gurudwara or a church. You cannot juxtapose the two," BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said.
He alleged that Mr. Ramesh had made a political statement here and advised him to instead concentrate on "salvaging the battered image of the UPA government."
The BJP maintained that one should not get into the debate of what — a temple or a toilet — is more important.
"While [public] toilets, which have to be built by the administration, are necessary, religion is important as people have faith in it. It would be good for Mr. Ramesh that out of his exuberance he stops making such comments," Mr. Rudy said.

Though unlikely, if you were otherwise occupied last night you might have missed that Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton mashed four home runs in a 10-3 win over Baltimore. He became the 16th player ever to hit four homers in a game -- and I'll bet you wouldn't have guessed that has the fourth-fewest career home runs of any of the four-homer-game players. Five of the players are Hall-of-Famers and Hamilton is the only active player to have done it.
Here is a list of all of the four-homer games:

GOP platform criticizes administration's defense, cyber strategies
The Republican Party platform criticized President Barack Obama for not doing enough to avert automatic budget cuts set to hit the Defense Department in January. The plan, which was unveiled Tuesday, also called for greater public-private collaboration on cybersecurity and recommended an overhaul of the Veterans Affairs Department.

GOP platform takes aim at federal workforce
The Republican Party officially unveiled national party platform Tuesday, revealing its plan to downsize the federal workforce, trim federal benefits and privatize airport screeners. The party's platform calls for a reduction in the federal workforce by at least 10 percent through attrition, says federal pay and benefits should be aligned with the private sector and calls for reforms to the U.S. Postal Service.

No, I would not agree with that. The size of the observer is irrelevant, only it's velocity wrt the CMB determines if it is comoving or not. A cluster sized observer moving relative to the CMB would not be comoving, and a neutrino sized observer at rest wrt the CMB would be comoving.
IMO, the reason it is a very reasonable convention is because it can be applied in the identical fashion at each spatial location.
Then you'll have to agree that in GR at certain distances velocity is not well- defined (meaning it is a path dependent parameter, and if you consider the LCDM model a valid one you will have to agree that at a certain scale the universe is homogeneous in the way FRW model predicts, therefore in this context size (or scale) is not irrelevant, there can't be a hypercluster (of whatever the size it is required by the LCDM model that the universe is truly homogeneous) that is not comoving with CMBR, if you don't agree with these two facts let me know.

There were a few tools created for this in Vista, so I'm sure that there is some way to do it in 7. I also found this article that might help: Automating Driver Deployment.
Hope this helps!
You can inject drivers into your install source for Windows 7. To do so, you will need some tools from Microsoft, the Windows Automated Installation Kit or WAIK.
Review Technet.Microsoft.com on deploying Windows 7. There are sections on injecting drivers into the INSTALL.WIM and creating custom installations. A second good resource is MSFN.com and the forums there.
Building a Standard Image of Windows 7: Step-by-Step Guide (Technet)
Option 1: My suggestion is to use the USB disk (thumb drive or UFD) method of installation. This will allow you to customize the WIM and replace the default one on the USB drive. Installation from a USB drive is much faster than a DVD. The great thing is that so long as you have the drivers necessary to see the hard drive, you can always inject the drivers on the fly.
NOTE: See the Microsoft tool to create an install USD disk from a Windows 7 disk.
Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool
Option 2: You can also use various tools available to create an image of the Windows 7 DVD, replace the default Install.WIM file with your updated file and then burn an updated image DVD.
Option 3: There are tools that will allow you to extract the DVD contents so you can update directly and then recreate the DVD. This can be done with just the WAIK tools.
The method you use to inject the drivers is up to you.
During all of this you can add setup customization files to automate part or all of your installation process.
Option 4: (Moderately advanced) Use the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2010.
Option 5: (ADVANCED) Another method of performing installation is to expand the WIM to the installation partition, injecting drivers (and patches), add any custom install control files or scripts, add additional files required then reboot to kick off the setup routine. This method requires a deeper understanding of what happens during setup.

S.F. International Film Festival a good way to network
Ruthe Stein
Updated 9:51 am, Monday, April 28, 2014
|Larger | Smaller

|Email This
On Thursday night, Jnana Patel and Edel Coen found their way to the San Francisco International Film Festival opening party in a former warehouse at an obscure north Mission location. The incessant sound of Middle Eastern music drew them to a back room where belly dancers tried to pull them onto a stage to demonstrate how to shimmy.
Patel and Coen backed away as fast as they could. But apart from exotic dancing, the two roommates were game to experience every part of opening night. It was the first time either of them had been to the festival kickoff. They were enthralled by the opening film, a psychological thriller called "The Two Faces of January," and gave thumbs up to an assortment of finger food available on two floors of the party space. They loved that the Italian food stand was manned by actual Italians speaking Italian.
"I found out about the festival last year after it had happened so I wanted to make sure I got a ticket this time," said Coen, 26, who works in international trade.
"It's been great meeting interesting people at the party," Patel, a 29-year-old dentist, said.
With a decibel number usually tolerated only by teenagers, it was surprising to hear several others say they used the party to network. Emily Oestreicher, a 33-year-old marketer, and her boyfriend, Jared Rusten, were practically holding court, judging from the number of people they had run into.
Rusten, a 37-year-old furniture builder, said he had always meant to attend the festival opener. "But I was never organized enough to make it. Now I have Emily to drag me to get some culture."
Emily Engel, a 31-year-old who works at Apple, was talked into going by a friend. Once there she was an instant fan of the festival. "It is like a piece of Hollywood in San Francisco," she said.
Actually in terms of Hollywood glamour this was one of the least festive of opening nights. People arrived to the sight of large orange barriers lining Castro Street, part of the city's plan to widen the sidewalk. Installing a red carpet in front of the Castro Theatre was impossible, so the carpet was moved to a small space upstairs of the theater.
Walking the red carpet was Hossein Amini, director of "The Two Faces of January," but the film's stars, Viggo Mortensen, Kirsten Dunst and Oscar Isaac, were nowhere to be seen.
"We worked very hard to get an actor here, but ultimately they were busy," said Noah Cowan, the festival's new executive director. Because he spent many years at the Toronto International Film Festival, one of the world's most star-studded festivals, it seemed logical to ask him what role he thinks movie stars play in festivals.
"They are great to have around because they add spice and a whiff of Hollywood glamour. But they are not the main event," he said. The programming staff was firm about wanting to open with "The Two Faces of January" regardless of who showed up with it.
Amini turned out to be an eloquent spokesman for his movie, the first one he has directed after a career as a screenwriter on films such as "The Wings of the Dove" and "Drive." His new film is based on a book by Patricia Highsmith, whose novels "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and "Strangers on a Train" also were made into films. Amini read "Two Faces" when he was in college, and it stayed with him. You could almost say it haunted him.
His memory played tricks on him. He remembered Mortensen's character, Chester MacFarland, as being immaculately put together like Jay Gatsby. "But when I looked at the book, Chester is overweight and shabby," Amini told the opening night crowd.
Chester also is morally despicable, a financial manager who thinks nothing of bilking his clients out of huge sums and who ultimately becomes enmeshed in murder. "It does not put me in a great light to say I related to him," Amini said with a laugh.
The San Francisco International Film Festival runs through May 8. http://festival.sffs.org.

text: Risk is the deviation from the consensus rather than an exposure to a covariance, and this implies there is no risk premium in general. It also implies that when there are a large number of people buying highly volatile assets, such assets will have negative returns in equilibrium. As there are several independent motivations for people to buy highly volatile assets, intuitively risky assets generally have lower-than-average returns. This novel conception of risk implies many things more consistent with the data than the current theory. Risk taking is an important life skill, so understanding its nature is important, and unfortunately academics who study it full-time are like so many other experts: when not irrelevant, 180 degrees wrong. This book explains the current asset pricing theory, and proposes an alternative, using theory and a unique survey of the data across many asset classes. Familiarity with some MBA level finance is helpful but not necessary to appreciate this book.

After he leaves, Savino gives Mia shit for drawing a million in house money for this, but Mia tells him the chips were just for show. What was the real bet, he asks. "A lady never tells," she says, and walks away. Red and Savino crack up at the fact that the casino almost lost a million dollars and the boss's daughter's sexual favors in a poker game between two people terrible at playing poker.
And then the stupid spider corners Dixon, and I guess it's a male spider otherwise Dixon probably would have had sex with it by now, and because everyone else is too chicken, Yvonne matter-of-factly traps the thing in a hat and takes it away, and then the show is just suddenly over. Well, go out on a high note, right? Thank you, you've been great!

Like to crank up your music? This app could save your life
With some good tunes and and your iPod cranked up, it's easy to become oblivious to your surroundings. Just yesterday, a young New Jersey boy was tragically killed when he couldn't hear an oncoming train's horn due to his blasting iPod. Now there's an app that still lets you crank up the music, but also lets essential sounds from your environment get through.
The Awareness app calibrates itself by using the iPod's mic to listen to the general noise in your surroundings, then if something stands out, it mixes that sound in with whatever you're already listening to. This means that you'll hear the train conductor announcing the next stop, or that approaching train's giant horn. The app also allows for manual calibration, and has a ducking feature that will drop the volume of the music when there's something you need to hear.
This all sounds excellent, but I think it could be improved on. What about a way to train it to respond to certain specific sounds, like the phone or doorbell, or your baby's cry?
The Awareness app works on any iPhone or iPod Touch 2G or later running iOS 4.1, and is available now for $5.

With the ever increasing popularity in gravel road racing, it only seems logical that we'd offer a gravel road bike, right? But to most, this can be a bit confusing as it seems to have characteristics of cyclocross, road and mountain integrated into it. So we wanted to break this down for you and show you how the Haanjo is an exceptionally versatile and capable bike.
Designed around stability and endurance, the Haanjo features our Enhanced Performance Geometry (EPG) which offers a slightly higher head tube height to put less strain on a rider's back and neck. This improves the fit for riders with marginally less pelvic rotation and core stability. The Haanjo also offers a slightly slacker headtube angle. At 70°, the headtube is even slacker than a typical cyclocross bike, which is similar in many ways to the Haanjo. This feature along with a longer wheelbase offers the rider much more confidence and stability in the descents. Wider bars will lend to extra leverage for the climbs and control. Add to this Rack and fender mounts and room for larger tires and it becomes clear that the Haanjo is a very capable rig. Cross bike? Kind of. The perfect commuter? Perhaps. Long distance comfortable rides? Most certainly.
The Haanjo features a fully butted 6061-t6 alloy disc specific frame with a formed top tube, integrated tapered headtube and an alloy fork for stability and control. The FSA Gossamer cross crankset and a mix of Shimano Sora 9 speed drivetrain with Tiagra cassette offer great performance and durability. Avid BB5 cable disc brakes with 160mm front and 140mm Rear Rotors offer ample stopping power and a great feel.
All new DB Equation CX 23mm wide rims are laced to alloy disc hubs for a stout and capable wheelset while a DBR flat bar and 3D forged, +/-7 degree rise stem offer a comfortable and stylish cockpit. Lastly, we've added a WTB Silverado Comp Saddle and DBR Performance Post to put you comfortably in the right position.
The Haanjo comes in 4 sizes: 50cm/XS, 53cm/MD, 56cm/LG, and 59cm/XL.
Height must be between 56-79in.
Height must be between 142-201cm.
Based on your input...

Effective network monitoring and security begins with a properly constructed Visibility Fabric at 1Gb, 10Gb, or 40Gb. Link aggregation is beneficial to ensure multiple lower utilized segments are combined into higher utilization Visibility Fabric ports. Many of the 10Gb links that are running in Enterprise networks are averaging only 2-5% utilization. The GigaVUE-TA1 Traffic Aggregation node was designed for networks that have a multitude of low-utilization 10Gb links and need to aggregate traffic into the Visibility Fabric. The GigaVUE-TA1 node aggregates many ports of data together prior to feeding the aggregated traffic into either a GigaVUE G or H Series product where sophisticated Flow Mapping filters create a powerful Visibility Fabric.
Multiple 10Gb links can be aggregated into a single 10Gb link if the utilization is low, or a 40Gb link for segments with higher utilization. The low profile 1RU design is intended to be deployed at the top of rack or end of row in data centers. The system ships standard with 24 x 10Gb SFP+ ports, and can optionally be upgraded by enabling a further 24 ports of 10Gb and 4 QSFP+ ports of 40Gb. The system has hot-swap dual fan-trays as standard, and a single power supply. A second power supply can be added to provide redundant power capability. Both AC and DC power is available.
Features & Benefits
- High-density, 640Gb, 1RU low profile design
- Front to back cooling, hot swap fan and option for redundant power supply
- Aggregation of multiple 10Gb SPAN/TAP traffic feeds into 10Gb/40Gb uplinks
- Support for SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ media types
- Traffic aggregation from multiple low-utilization 10Gb links into 10Gb/40Gb uplinks
- Monitor multiple 10G and 40G traffic streams from one central location
- Consolidate traffic into 40Gb uplinks into GigaVUE® H Series Traffic Visibility Nodes
- Provide a "Gateway" into the Visibility Fabric
GigaVUE-TA1 ordering numbers:
- GVS-TA101: GigaVUE-TA1 traffic aggregator, 24 10G ports enabled, 1 power supply, AC power
- GVS-TA102: GigaVUE-TA1 traffic aggregator, 24 10G ports enabled, 1 power supply, DC power
- RMB-045: Optional Rear Mounting Bracket 45cm for GigaVUE-TA1 or GigaVUe-HB1
- UPG-TA100: Upgrade option to enable all GigaVUE-TA1 ports (48 10G + 4 40G)

What to Avoid When Choosing a Moisturizer
More isn't always better when it comes to the list of ingredients in a moisturizer. To get the most benefit for your skin, avoid some popular extras.
- Colorings and perfumes. Whether you want to moisturize dry skin, sensitive skin, or something in between, most experts say to avoid unnecessary and potentially irritating ingredients, like added colors and perfumes. Antibacterial agents can also be unnecessarily harsh, stripping skin of essential oils.
- Body-friendly ingredients. What's good for your body isn't always good for your face. Cambio suggests avoiding facial moisturizers with popular body product ingredients like lanolin, mineral oil, waxes, or shea butter. "These can clog pores and cause acne on the face," she says.
- Too many acids. Avoid alpha-hydroxy acids, glycolic acid, retinoic acid, and salicylic acid if you have dry or sensitive skin. These ingredients may penetrate the skin too deeply and trouble delicate skin. Stay away from products with alcohols as well.
- Overusing steroidal ingredients (for itchy skin). Limit your use of steroid cream or ointment to only one or two weeks unless your doctor recommends using it longer. Overusing these creams can make skin very thin and lead to other skin problems.
- Urea or Lactic acids (for eczema or cracked skin). Stay away from moisturizers that contain these dry-skin friendly ingredients. They can aggravate existing skin irritations.
3 Tips to Get the Most Out of Your Skin Moisturizer
- Use more than one moisturizer (if you need to). Nobody needs a cabinet full of moisturizing products. But a thin lotion for your face and a thick cream for your body may be just right for your all-over skin care.
- Apply your moisturizer while your skin is damp. Smooth on your favorite moisturizer a few minutes after a bath or shower. Then pat your skin dry.
- Make your moisturizer do double-duty. Be sure your moisturizer contains a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher. The pros recommend vitamin A or alpha-hydroxy acid for an anti-aging boost. Want to even out your skin tone? Look for a tinted moisturizer suitable for your complexion.

Slate Writer: Your Kids Not As Important As Obama's
January 17, 2013 | Filed Under 2nd Amendment, Barack Obama, Constitution, Democrats/Leftists, Ethics, Government, Guns, Journalism, Liberals, Media, Media Bias, President, Progressives, Slate, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off
-By Warner Todd Huston
Slate's Matt Yglesias has a Twitter message for all you parents out there. Your kids aren't as important as Obama's.
Yglesias recently Tweeted that very thing saying, "Sorry haters, a kidnapping of the First Kids would be a way bigger deal than a kidnapping of your kids."
This is in response to the new NRA ad that calls the President and his gun-banning cohorts hypocrites and elitists for hiding behind armed guards and for having armed guards at their children's schools even as they scoff at armed guards in your kid's schools and while they endeavor to take your guns away from you.
"Are the president's kids more important than yours?" the new NRA ad begins. "Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their schools?"
"The only end of writing is to enable the reader better to enjoy life, or better to endure it."

Very good simplet salad...I think I should have used small shrimp then what I bought. Didn't think about that until after I mixed with the other ingredients...salad shrimp probably would have been best. Do let the dressing meld with the shrimp mix because when tasting it in the beginning, rather salty. But does go away when chilled for several hours. Made this for my daughter and she reall liked it. But did ask that I make again with more tomatoes too. As well as smaller shrimp.
Super simple. I used the smaller shrimp just cause they looked better in the grocery store .

RIO DE JANEIRO--Brazilian mining company Vale SA (VALE) still sees a "long march" ahead in the effort to obtain authorization from China to berth its supersize iron-ore freighters in the country, executives said Thursday.
The company docked a vessel in China earlier this month that was partially loaded and had a lower draft in order to accommodate local regulations, said Jose Carlos Martins, Vale's head of ferrous and strategy, in a conference call.
"It's not a fully loaded Valemax, but it was another important step," he said, referring to the company's nickname for the vessels. "I think that to berth a Valemax in China will be a long march for us."
Vale plans to have a fleet of 35 of the freighters in operation by the end of this year, using them to carry iron ore produced in Brazil to the company's biggest market, China. The ships are capable of carrying about 400,000 dead-weight tons of ore, compared with traditional vessels that have capacity for 200,000 dead-weight tons.
Vale maintains that the ships' scale will reduce logistics cost and allow it to better compete with rival iron-ore producers in Australia. But Chinese authorities have so far refused to allow the vessels entry, citing safety concerns.
To work around the restrictions, Vale has resorted to docking Valemax in nearby countries and transferring ore to smaller vessels allowed in China. Mr. Martins said the company has opened new ports for receiving Valemax ships in Japan and the Philippines and is considering doing so in South Korea.
"More and more ports are receiving Valemax, and more and more alternatives are developing to berth these marvelous vessels," the executive said. "When the time arrives when we are able to berth those ships in China, we believe that the cost reduction will be even better."

Book Review
Genre: Historical Romance
2005 Historical Romance of the Year Nominee
Taking a cue from Louisa May Alcott, James pens a marvelous story centering on the four Essex sisters and their quest for husbands. While their guardian, the Duke of Holbrook, imbibes brandy, the eldest, Tess, realizes she must marry off her sisters and herself with the help of their dowries: a famous racehorse each.
Everything is going according to plan until her sister Imogen runs off to marry a horse-crazy young man and Tess is jilted by her fiancé.
Enter Lucius Felton, an unsuitable man, but one whom Tess cannot resist kissing and who helps her when Imogen elopes. When Lucius proposes, Tess does the unthinkable: She accepts and discovers how wonderful her husband is and why there's much ado about love.
With witty and exquisite prose, James brings not only the Regency period to life—including delightful matchmaking and an Austen-esque plot—but also four unforgettable women whose friendship is at the heart of the story.
Sisterhood is powerful, and James uses that to explore the unique relationships between women and the men they love. Readers' hearts will soar and beg for more. SENSUAL (Jan., 400 pp., $6.99)

An East Texas woman says baking is her calling from God.
Debbie Coleman is founder and head baker for the Cake Angels Foundation, a non-profit organization she started last year that benefits children whose family may not be able to afford a birthday cake.
"I just went out and started going to different locations and different organizations: Goodwill, Salvation Army and the Family Crisis Center of East Texas. When I went in the places were so excited because places that had been making free cakes told them they wouldn't be doing it anymore," says Coleman.
Debbie started the Cake Angels Foundation last year as a way to give back to needy families in her community. Places, like the Family Crisis Center in East Texas, have received multiple cakes from Coleman.
"A lot of the kids have never had a birthday cake before. They never get presents, or gifts, let alone a birthday cake for their birthdays. So whenever the cakes come and moms come to pick the cakes up it's just amazing to see their faces," says Jamie West with the Family Crisis Center of East Texas.
"Their faces of excitement are worth more money than in the world," says Coleman.
Last year Coleman baked close to 200 hundred birthday cakes, and this year she's already at 250 cakes.
"We get hugs and kisses and that's our pay," says Coleman.
If you would like to place an order, or know of someone who might be in need of a birthday cake for their child, you can go to the Cake Angels Foundation Facebook page and contact Debbie Coleman.

My Westie Puppy was inspired by my sister's dog, Duffy, a beautiful, playful Westie. I've never seen a knit Westie puppy anywhere, so I thought I'd take on the challenge of capturing Duffy in yarn. Long, white eyelash yarn (approx. 440 yds), combined with pink worsted weight yarn for his inner ears, gave me the material I needed to get the lovable, white furry look I was seeking to make him look lifelike. And since he looks so real, he needed a dog collar, too, made of worsted weight yarn with an added charm as a dog tag. Now he's ready to play! And you won't be able to resist giving him hugs and cuddles of love, too. He sits about 13" (not counting his ears) but gauge is not critical.
Not critical for this project. Work tightly enough to ensure that the stuffing will not show through the stitches.
440 yards of Chunky weight

It Ain't Perfect: Street Fighter IV
"Street Fighter IV merits, at best, an afternoon rental." (1) "In some respects, the game feels too old school for its own good." (6) "This is essentially the same game most of us played nearly two decades ago. ... It's still This Guy vs. That Guy." (1) "If the Street Fighter scene (or perhaps, more precisely, the fighting game scene) has bored you as of late, I don't see you finding a revolution in this one." (9) "Once fans have relived their virtual-martial-arts glory days ... once the patina of nostalgia has worn off, most will wonder whether they needed to spend $60 on a game they already own." (1)
"The animation quality is Saturday-morning-cartoon-level bad" (2) and "the quality of the cartoons is uncomfortably close to bad early-'90s anime." (8)
The "anime cutscenes are a bit incongruous ... and lame." (3) "The animation quality is Saturday-morning-cartoon-level bad" (2) and "the quality of the cartoons is uncomfortably close to bad early-90s anime." (8) "The cringe-worthy English voice acting ... won't be to everyone's liking" (5) as "the various characters spout their idiotic dialogue" (1) and "many nonsensical, we-don't-need-no-stinking-writers taunts [are] uttered." (1)
What's more, the "individual anime style intros and conclusions for each brawler [are] too ambiguous to figure out." (6) They "tell you almost nothing about the story or the context for each character's participation in the tournament" (9) and culminate with "shrug-your-shoulders endings" (4) that "usually don't resolve anything at all, leaving you with no answers and only more questions." (4) "For a game clearly designed to appeal to new players, these cutscenes are surprisingly convoluted." (9) "As for the rivalries, Capcom never explains why certain characters (Ryu and Sagat, for example) hate each other." (6) "[Rival fights] often add nothing to the character's storyline because some fighters clearly don't even know why they hate one another." (7)
Street Fighter IV's "thin selection of modes" (5) "features overused modes that appear in other fighters." (6) "We were slightly disappointed to find that no bonus levels have been included, especially since we had high hopes of reliving our car and barrel smashing from Street Fighter II." (7) There's "no crazy role-playing adventure or Tekken-style bowling game," (6) either. "To be honest, we would have liked to see some kind of more involved mode included." (3)
The "mostly dull soundtrack" (4) starts off with "the cheese-rock theme song," (1) an "obnoxious intro tune" (5) that sounds like an "awful boy band track ... Eeshk!"
"Training Mode, ... is your standard 'beat up a dummy' fare [that] will teach you nothing; you're on your own if you're looking to learn more advanced techniques." (5) It "would also have been better if it showed an example of the combo being performed along with the exact timing it takes to execute every move in the string." (4) "There's also no online tournament mode to be found here, a surprising omission given its inclusion in the downloadable game Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix." (7) "We're also disappointed that the Replay mode -- a vital inclusion to be frank -- didn't make it in time for launch." (3)
"The A.I. for the final boss Seth ... will give most everyone migraines." (4) "In true Capcom fighter tradition, he's cheaper than a pound shop carrier bag." (8) In other words, "Seth is far too cheap." (3) "Round one against [him] is a breeze on most difficulties [but] round two will have him spamming teleportation moves, and rocking some seriously over-powered combination attacks that may have you attempting to crush your controller in frustration." (5) And "given how imaginative the rest of the crew are, going toe-to-toe with a bald, blue baddie that bears more than a passing resemblance to BioShock's Fontaine feels like something of an anticlimax." (8) In short, "we're not huge fans of Seth (can anyone say gimmicky?)" (3)
"We're still a little disappointed by how boring a lot of [the backgrounds] are," (3) and "we observed a few ... character-model clipping errors during play, such as legs passing through each other and the odd missed sweep when we were sure that we should have landed a hit." (7) "Our biggest issue, however, has to do with the command lists that display each character's moves. For whatever reason, the text is much too small to read. We had to squint and get close to our TVs to read them." (6)
"If reviving Street Fighter II is the priority, then the music should have played off the nostalgic melodies much more." (4) The "mostly dull soundtrack" (4) starts off with "the cheese-rock theme song," (1) an "obnoxious intro tune" (5) that sounds like an "awful boy band track ... Eeshk!" (3) Overall, "the J-pop soundtrack and cheesy intro theme will be driven into your head within minutes," (7) "a point that is made worse by the fact that you can't turn the music completely off." (4)
Welcome to the inaugural edition of "It Ain't Perfect." Much like the Nega-Review before it, "It Ain't Perfect" takes negative quotes from a variety of generally positive reviews for a well received game and assembles them into an absolutely blistering smackdown. The positive context surrounding these quotes has been deliberately removed here, but rest assured, each complaint here was definitely meant as a complaint in the original review. The point isn't to deny the quality of what's generally regarded as a great game, but to call attention to the small sticking points that can be easy to overlook amidst the waves of praise for the biggest, most anticipated titles.
It's interesting to note that different reviewers had different takes on the Street Fighter series' return to simplicity. While most applauded the new, pared-down fighting as a return to form, a few thought it was a bit too familiar and not worth an entirely new purchase (as shown in the first paragraph, above). Which side do you fall on? Let us know in the comments!

Is Gastric Bypass Surgery Worth the Risk?
"People who are considering this surgery need to know that the laparoscopic procedure is really the same one as the conventional surgery," he tells WebMD. "The new surgery is less invasive, and it's associated with fewer wound complications and a faster recovery, but the surgery on the internal organs is the same. It's a major surgical intervention."
Madura, who was not involved in the study, is the director of the bariatric surgery program at Rush University Medical Center, where he is an assistant professor of surgery. He urged that patients who are considering obesity surgery seek out an experienced surgeon. "Find someone who operates in a multidisciplinary center that is committed to the care of obese patients," he says.
"Gastric bypass surgery is not about losing weight the easy way and looking good -- the operation is about improving health," says Merkle. "There should be a long-term commitment by the patient. Eating habits must change. For example, patients will need lifelong vitamin supplements. Some patients lose weight, and then gain it back again. Not everyone gets the results they want, but they all face the risk of these complications."
