Two new faces will make their season debut tonight for the Rangers.
Forward Ty Learn and goalie Jack Moylan got the call up from the Kitchener Dutchmen. Both will also join the team in Plymouth Saturday.
Learn is a seventh round pick from 2012. The 16-year-old has seven goals and two assists in 26 games for the Dutchies so far this season.
Moylan appeared in four games for the Rangers last year going 1-1.
Tobias Rieder-Radek Faksa-Eric Ming
Ben Thomson-Matia Marcantuoni-Justin Bailey
Brent Pedersen-Domenic Alberga-Nick Czinder
Ty Learn-Curtis Meighan-Matt Schmalz
Ryan Murphy-Ben Fanelli
Evan McEneny-Jared Gilbert
Cory Genovese-Owen Stewart
Franky Palazzese (4-2-1-1) starts with Jack Moylan will back up.
Iafrate is out with the flu.
Goalie John Gibson suffered a hip flexor against London this past Tuesday and is day to day.
Matt Puempel (shoulder sprain) is progressing but the team is concerned since his shoulder is a big part of his shot -- he leads the team with 21 goals. There is no timeline for his return.
Kerby Rychel-Brady Vail-Zach Lorentz
Chris Marchese-Jordan Maletta-Josh Ho-Sang
Ben Johnson-Sam Studnicka-Emerson Clark
John Bowen-Ryan Verbeek-Ty Bilcke
Saverio Posa-Nick Ebert
Pat Sieloff-Trevor Murphy
Jordan McNaughton-Adam Bateman
Jaroslav Pavelka (10-8-1-2) starts.
Puck points:
- Credit the Windsor Spitfires, who escaped with a point after arriving at the Aud about an hour before game time due to the weather.
- Tobias Rieder is out indefinitely with a foot injury. He left the game in the second period after blocking a shot. He'll get an X-ray tomorrow and the team will know more then.
- Forward Keli Grant got the call up and will join the team in Plymouth Saturday. Grant had two goals and two assists in 20 games for the Rangers last year and leads the Jr. B Dutchmen in scoring with 24 goals and 13 assists this season.
- Zach Lorentz, who was a shootout stud for the Rangers last year, scored on Rangers goalie Franky Palazzese in tonight's shootout.
- Shortening the bench has its advantages, but in a game that went this long, I thought it might have been worthwhile to send some fresh legs out late in the third. The lads who were being used looked completely gassed.
- How about that Jared Gilbert? First game after missing seven with a concussion and he picks up two assists.
- Palazzese stopped Brady Vail on a penalty shot. Money save.
- Two things commented on in the pressbox by out of town media. 1) That Justin Bailey is going to be a good one. 2) What's going on with Brent Pedersen?
- Windsor up 6-3 on PP opportunities. Not often that you see the Rangers give up that many PPs. Credit the penalty killers tonight.
- Why is it that Kitchener's young players are the ones who seem to keep stepping up? Radical thought of the day -- is it worth trading top talent to build for the future?
JB's top three Rangers: Jared Gilbert, Justin Bailey, Nick Czinder

Knowing that Allah is Omnipotent and Omnipresent
With the verse "Does humanity reckon that he will be left to go on unchecked?" (Surat al-Qiyama: 36), Allah tells human beings that they are always under His control. But unaware people are far from thinking and grasping this fact. However, only a moment of sincere contemplation will suffice to think what life would be if man had to accomplish and control everything by himself.
For example, right now we are unaware of all the things happening in our bodies and feel no need to take an interest in them. And yet our organs continue to function in constant harmony with each other. As far as we are concerned, our first priority is having a constant supply of oxygen to sustain our lives. Of course, we have other priorities as well, such as controlling our heart's beating, maintaining our blood circulation, keeping the acidity in our stomach balanced, digestion, and countless other functions.Imagine the impossible, that we controlled all of our bodily functions. For example, who controls these functions when we are asleep, for they never stop. If our heart slipped out of control for just a few minutes, it would stop beating and we would die. But it is also true that we need to sleep. And this is not all we would have to do if left on our own. For example, we would have to ensure the external conditions needed to sustain our lives.
Clearly, since we cannot control our own bodies, it requires a great deal of imagination to think that we could possibly have any influence on the countless delicately adjusted and balanced systems underlying the world and the universe. When we consider this and see that we cannot control anything, we realize that Allah controls all things with His supreme knowledge and power. We understand that He has created and controls all that exists, both animate and inanimate. But to reach this level of knowledge, we must defeat our lack of awareness by always being aware that Allah sees us and act accordingly. He is always observing us, creating our actions and us. In fact, there is no moment when He does not encompasses us: "Surely your Lord encompasses the people with His knowledge" (Surat al-Isra': 60). Believers who know that Allah encompasses them know that He is aware of all that they do, say, and think, both openly and in secret, for He is omnipresent and omniscient:
Do you not see that Allah knows what is in the heavens and on the ground? Three men cannot confer together secretly without Him being the fourth, or five without Him being the sixth, or fewer or more than that without Him being with them wherever they are. Then He will inform them on the Day of Resurrection of what they did. Allah has knowledge of all things. (Surat al-Mujadala: 7)
An honest consideration of this clear truth is enough to root out one's unawareness, for it enables them to perceive the truth and live a good life in both worlds. Knowing that they are always under His sovereign power, they will fear and respect Him and avoid doing anything that would earn His wrath. In addition, they will know that Allah sees all of their good and fine actions and they will be joyful for the day when He rewards them. Understanding that everything happens in accordance with the trials He has predestined for them for their own good, they remain patient. As a result, they will attain the Garden He has promised to all believers.2009-02-12 15:32:50

Something that happened last October, in Staten Island.
A teenage girl who friends say was bullied at school committed suicide by jumping in front of an oncoming train in front of other students Wednesday afternoon.
Why was she bullied? Well, you see, there was this party, and at the party she had sex with four guys on the football team. The four guys of course punished her for having sex with them by trashing her at school. What else would they do?
The day before the fatal plunge, the sophomore posted one last cry for help on Twitter, saying "I can't, I'm done, I give up."
Briana Torres says just a few days ago, Felicia broke down in tears, told her rumors were spreading at school and online.
"She told me how a few football players were tormenting her. They were making fun of her, inappropriate things," Torres said.
Police are investigating, talking with students.
"The ability to be anonymous on the internet gives people a sense of power to say these things to people because they're hiding behind a keyboard," said Polina Feldbein, a student.
And once they are hiding behind a keyboard, what could be more fun than to torment someone?

When it comes to the Caribbean, ever feel like you've been there, done that? For those intrepid travelers willing to venture beyond the glitzy casinos and cruise ports, the region holds a surprising wealth of authentic and diverse island treasures — if you know where to look.
Here, ISLANDS editors have handpicked six less-traveled Caribbean islands you should add to your bucket list.
Click here for images of secret Caribbean islands
Corn Islands, Nicaragua
Fifty miles offshore from Nicaragua, the twin isles of Big Corn and Little Corn island are a top draw for fishermen and solitude-seekers. You won't find major shopping and dining venues here, but artisan shops and street vendors line the quiet roads and offer up plenty of low-key diversions for island travelers who truly want to get away from it all. Transport to the Corn Islands is relatively easy given how remote they seem: Hop a 90-minute regional carrier flight to Big Corn island from Nicaragua's capital city of Managua, and from there, it's just a 30-to-60-minute water taxi ride to Little Corn.
San Andrés, Colombia
Situated 480 miles northwest of mainland Colombia, San Andrés is part of the country's Caribbean archipelago that also includes Providence and Santa Catalina islands, as well as several smaller islets and cays. The largest of the islands in this chain, San Andrés is also the hub of tourism in the area, accessible by charter flight or by ship — though commercial ferries do not currently operate to the archipelago. Snorkeling and diving are big draws here, with high visibility and an array of reefs and wrecks to explore, so come armed with mask and fins.
An overseas region of France, Guadeloupe is a Monarch-shaped island comprised of two land masses — Grande-Terre on the east and Basse-Terre on the west — split by the Riviere Sale. Work up an appetite on the island's western side, home to the Parc Nationale de la Guadeloupe, a 74,000-acre rainforest that's perfect for hikers and nature lovers. Then head to the eastern side at sundown, as Grand-Terre caters to the foodie set with a feast of Creole-influenced dining options.
Margarita Island, Venezuela
Venezuela's Margarita Island won't qualify as a "secret" Caribbean destination for much longer, as tourism on the isle continues to grow year after year. The island's 106-odd miles of shoreline provide 50 sandy coves perfect for beach lovers, and cities such as Porlamar and La Asunción, the capital, offer an array of dining and nightlife venues with a South American flair. Just 25 miles offshore of mainland Venezuela, Margarita Island is easily accessible by air or ferry.

A short puddle-jumper flight from Antigua or St. Martin, the volcanic island of Montserrat feels a world apart from the bustling Caribbean hubs nearby. You won't find any cruise ports or mega all-inclusive resorts on this volcanic isle — home to fewer than 5,000 permanent residents; Instead, the mighty Soufrière volcano is its top attraction, luring nature-lovers, adventure-seekers, and many of the scientific community's top volcanologists. Plan your stay at one of the island's hillside villas for dramatic views of the active volcano right from your terrace.
Los Roques, Venezuela
Rougly 80 miles north of Caracas, Venezuela, the Los Roques archipelago is comprised of roughly 350 islets and cays that have been protected under the Los Roques National Park since 1972. Fishing in the biodiverse marine park is highly regulated, but the region still draws a steady stream of Caribbean snorkelers and divers each year with its well preserved coral reef system. The atoll is also a favorite among sailors and water sports enthusiasts, who find shelter at night on Los Roques' only town, remote Gran Roque.

How can İ prevent acylation (Lys) of my recombinant protein in E. coli or Mammalian cells?
Submit your paper to J Biol Methods today!

Posted 07 January 2013 - 08:55 AM
Could you treat the cells with an acyltransferase inhibitor? They are available commericially.
Posted 07 January 2013 - 10:09 AM
This option also came in my mind but to knockout the gene would be Lethal i guess. In mammalian maybe one could use stable cell lines transfected with shRNA, or?
Posted 07 January 2013 - 10:09 AM
Is there a way to screen a inhibitor collection?
Posted 07 January 2013 - 11:48 AM
Im not quite following. You fear that if you use an acyltransferase inhibitor you will "knock out" the gene/protein function? If you want to prevent acylation, these inhibitors seem like the logical choice. It will inhibit acylation of all proteins, but there will be a recommended dose to use that should maintain a majority of protein functions.
Posted 07 January 2013 - 12:28 PM
No of course inhibition will be happing on the protein level. I mean cutting out the gene will be lethal. But thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Very quickly, as we get ready to head up to Tel Aviv (dinner at the Ambassador's house tonight might make blogging tough before the day is through), I wanted to mention a cool experience we had at dinner last night. Walking out of the hotel, Andrew Wray (read his blog here) and I passed by a few others from our tour group. We asked them if they'd gotten anything to eat. They said they went to Sbarro, up the street. "But don't expect to find anything with meat on it, man, all they had was vegetables." I told them that was because meat isn't allowed to touch cheese here, something to do with not boiling meat in its mother's milk, an Old Testament thing. And I'm not trying to call anyone out, but how can you go to Israel and eat at Sbarro? Maybe they were homesick and wanted some comfort pizza. I guess I can understand that. Anyway, we found a cool Israeli/Spanish tapas bar called Sol that not only had a number of Israeli cheeses and wines for the sampling, but also featured an Israeli duo playing pop songs on two guitars and singing (I knew they were pop songs because there were in Hebrew and everyone was singing along - no way a local band has that kind of song recognition for originals). The woman had a particularly fine voice and seeing the huge, shaved-head guy crooning was pretty entertaining. Still, I must be a little homesick, too, because I won't deny the kick I got when they broke into a perfect-English version of John Denver's "Country Roads." That was pretty cool.

Apple's site boasts "A Greener Apple" banner to announce a change in policy.
Today we saw something we've all been waiting for: the words "A Greener Apple" on the front page of Apple's site, with a message from Steve Jobs saying "Today we're changing our policy."
It's not everything we asked for. Apple has declared a phase out of the worst chemicals in its product range, Brominated Fire Retardants (BFRs) and Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) by 2008. That beats Dell and other computer manufactures' pledge to phase them out by 2009. Way to go Steve!
But while customers in the US will be able to return their Apple products for recycling knowing that their gear won't end up in the e-waste mountains of Asia and India, Apple isn't making that promise to anyone but customers in the USA. Elsewhere in the world, an Apple product today can still be tomorrow's e-waste. Other manufacturers offer worldwide takeback and recycling. Apple should too!
Apple hasn't gotten an actual green product to market, but no other electronics manufacture has either. That's a race worthy of the wizards of Cupertino.
We've seen the enthusiasm with which Apple fans have greeted our campaign to make Apple a green leader. They've made clear what they want-- an Apple which isn't just skin-deep green, but green to the core. One that creates products free from the most hazardous chemicals, that they can buy and return with a clear conscience, secure in the knowledge that Apple will re-use or recycle them responsibly, and that won't end up in scrapyards or add to the mountains of e-waste that the electronics industry has created.
Apple must begin to address these growing problems to ensure that the workers and children of Asia and many developing nations no longer face the unnecessary environmental and health dangers posed by the high-tech industry's waste.
We look forward to working with the new, greener Apple in future - toward the greening of the entire electronics industry.
And to all the Apple fans who have contributed their thoughts and blogs and creativity to this campaign, reach over your shoulder and pat yourself on the back. Put a happy tune on your ipod and do a happy dance. You've proven you can make a real difference. You convinced one of the world's most cutting edge companies to cut the toxic ingredients out of the products they sell.
Now, let's take it to the next level! An Apple green to the core!
Check out the great stuff that Apple fans have made to ask Steve for a greener Apple.
Help keep us campaigning for a green and peaceful future.

Endometrial cancer means that the cells in the lining of your uterus grow abnormally and out of control. The cancer cells can spread to other parts of your body. Endometrial cancer is also called cancer of the uterus or uterine cancer. It's usually cured when found early.

13.2.3 Scenarios Based on Outputs from Climate Models
Climate models at different spatial scales and levels of complexity provide the major source of information for constructing scenarios. GCMs and a hierarchy of simple models produce information at the global scale. These are discussed further below and assessed in detail in Chapters 8 and 9. At the regional scale there are several methods for obtaining sub-GCM grid scale information. These are detailed in Chapter 10 and summarised in Section 13.4.
18.104.22.168 Scenarios from General Circulation Models
The most common method of developing climate scenarios for quantitative impact assessments is to use results from GCM experiments. GCMs are the most advanced tools currently available for simulating the response of the global climate system to changing atmospheric composition.
All of the earliest GCM-based scenarios developed for impact assessment in the 1980s were based on equilibrium-response experiments (e.g., Emanuel et al., 1985; Rosenzweig, 1985; Gleick, 1986; Parry et al., 1988). However, most of these scenarios contained no explicit information about the time of realisation of changes, although time-dependency was introduced in some studies using pattern-scaling techniques (e.g., Santer et al., 1990; see Section 13.5).
The evolving (transient) pattern of climate response to gradual changes in atmospheric composition was introduced into climate scenarios using outputs from coupled AOGCMs from the early 1990s onwards. Recent AOGCM simulations (see Chapter 9, Table 9.1) begin by modelling historical forcing by greenhouse gases and aerosols from the late 19th or early 20th century onwards. Climate scenarios based on these simulations are being increasingly adopted in impact studies (e.g., Neilson et al., 1997; Downing et al., 2000) along with scenarios based on ensemble simulations (e.g., papers in Parry and Livermore, 1999) and scenarios accounting for multi-decadal natural climatic variability from long AOGCM control simulations (e.g., Hulme et al., 1999a).
There are several limitations that restrict the usefulness of AOGCM outputs for impact assessment: (i) the large resources required to undertake GCM simulations and store their outputs, which have restricted the range of experiments that can be conducted (e.g., the range of radiative forcings assumed); (ii) their coarse spatial resolution compared to the scale of many impact assessments (see Section 13.4); (iii) the difficulty of distinguishing an anthropogenic signal from the noise of natural internal model variability (see Section 13.5); and (iv) the difference in climate sensitivity between models.

Data Center as a PCB
The Challenge
- Create a Cloud Computing server which might be able to run with 35 C degres ambiant temperature. This temperature is a good average of the peak temperature observed in Western Europe during summer timeframe.
- Reduce as much as possible cabling between compute nodes, storage, and network infrastructure to lower human mistakes during maintenance operation and improve network performances.
- Share I/O devices (Network NIC, storage interface) which are beginning to be very costly compared to compute resources.
- Reduce compute node to sub 600 $US including the interconnect.
The Solution
- Use industry standard components which can run at high temperatures: AMD R-Series Bald Eagle with ECC support (Tj up to 95 C Degrees)
- Use local PCI-e Fabric to interconnect compute nodes to lower system pricing and improve performances
- Use SR-IOV technology from PLX technology to share I/O devices
- Put everything on the same PCB, and just interconnect them together through PCI-e or 40 Gb/s ethernet
Unexpected architecture
- 48 cores in 1 U through 12 local compute nodes
- 384 GB ECC main memory DDR3
- 48Gb/s local drive bandwidth
- 32 Gb/s interconnect per node (low latency)
- 384 Gb/s local fabric
- 80 Gb/s max ethernet
- Everything soldered down
We Rethought Everything
They are making this project alive

Blue Ranger Billy said he never felt comfortable showing his true colors on "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers." David Yost said he quit the hit '90s kid show after a series of taunts over his sexuality led him to consider suicide.
"The reason I walked off was because I was called f-----t one too many times," Yost told "Power Rangers" fan site No Pink Spandex.
"I had just heard that several times while working on the show from creators, producers, writers directors," Yost said in a video interview on the fan site, which was first noticed by JustJared.
U.S. & World
Yost, 41, starred on "Power Rangers" from 1993 to 1996 and also acted in the franchise's 1995 feature film, according to Usmagazine.com.
He said he experienced a general "vibe" that he wasn't worthy of appearing on the show "because I'm quote-un-quote a gay person and I'm not supposed to be an actor and you can't be a superhero."
"I know that my co-stars were called in a couple of times to different producers' offices and questioned about my sexuality, which is kind of a humiliating experience to hear," Yost said. "I was worried that I might take my own life."
Now a Hollywood producer, Yost said it took him a long time to recover from a nervous breakdown that followed his "Power Rangers" exit.
Yost said that instead of "learning to accept myself" he joined a group to help him "pray the gay away."
After two years of trying to change his orientation, he landed in the hospital with a nervous breakdown, Yost said. He eventually moved to Mexico for a year to clear his head.
"It frustrates me that I hated myself on such a level that I couldn't accept myself," Yost said.
Saban Entertainment, which produced "Power Rangers," has so far not commented on the reports.

Re: Test server update 1.4.7 1.0
Changes since the prior version of Mo Creatures
-wild scorpions no longer attack other mobs
-fixed server crashing bug with the ownership code
-pet scorpions that are set free now drop the saddle, and can't be ridden
-horses obtained from an amulet are set to the player using the amulet.
-horse transformation animation is synchronized in multiplayer
-foals and ghost horses now spawn tamed and are owned by their parent's owner
-tamed birds won't be named every time they eat seeds.
-bunnies shouldn't suffer damage when on top of a player's head
-enders should spawn on the End biome
-fixed bug that removed swords on pigmen and bows on skeletons
Added Elephants and Mammoths
Elephants spawn on Deserts, Jungles, Plains and Forests.
Mammoths spawn on cold biomes.
Elephants drop Hide
A calf elephant can be tamed by giving it 10 Sugar lumps or 5 cakes
Tamed elephants are healed with baked potatoes, bread or haystacks
Indian Elephants can be given a special luxurious garment.
In addition to the garment, a nice throne can then be given to the Elephant.
Two chest sets can be put on each elephant, allowing it to carry inventory
A key is used to open the inventory.
Mammoths can also carry two extra regular chests.
Three different kinds of tusk reinforcements can be crafted: wood, iron and diamond.
They can be given to tamed adult elephants and mammoths, and taken off with a pickaxe.
While wearing them reinforcement and ridden by the player, they will break blocks.
(However that feature is disabled by default in multiplayer, to prevent griefing)
Mammoths are more effective at breaking blocks than elephants.
A harness can be put on tamed adult elephants.
If a player 'sneaks' near their elephant, it will sit for a short time, where it can be mounted
To dismount an elephant, the rider has to make it sit first and then it can be dismounted.
A platform can be put on the Songhua Mammoth, allowing them to carry a second player.
To have a passenger, first the rider makes the mammoth sit, then the second player 'sneaks' while close to the mammoth.
The second player can dismount the mammoth by pressing the sneak key.
Added Komodo Dragons
Komodo dragons spawn on swamps and plains. They attack small animals or players.
Komodo dragons poison their prey.
They drop reptile hide and the bigger Komodo Dragons have a 25% chance of dropping eggs.
An egg can be hatched if placed near a torch and the resulting baby Komodo Dragon will be tamed.
You can heal your tamed Komodo dragon by giving it raw rat or raw turkey.
A saddle can be put on a Tamed adult Komodo dragon so it can be ridden.
Ostrich overhaul:
hatched ostriches won't follow the player
Ostriches now can carry helmets that will reduce the damage received
A chest can be given to an ostrich and they can carry a small inventory
cloth colored cubes can be given to saddled ostriches to make them carry colored flags
Nether ostriches now are obtained by giving any tamed ostrich an essence of fire
Nether ostriches will fly in a way inspired by the game 'Joust'. (It's tricky but fun!)
added three new types of ostriches:
-Unihorned ostrich that is obtained by giving any tamed ostrich an essence of light.
They buckle animals in a similar way than with the unicorns
Unihorned ostriches can drop a unicorn
-Black wyvern ostriches are obtained by giving a tamed ostrich an essence of darkness
they can fly if the jump button is used on a timely fashion. They propel themselves forward once flying.
They're tricky but fun to control in the air.
-Undead ostriches are obtained by giving any tamed ostrich an essence of undead.
Jellyfish overhaul:
Changed models and textures for the jellyfish
jellyfish glow in the dark

Re: Test server update 1.4.7 1.0
You guys might want to take a look at the test server when you get a chance. Just to make sure your home doesn't blow up or anything with the new updates
If I don't hear anything prior to tomorrow might, I will most likely deploy it to the production server.

Re: Test server update 1.4.7 1.0
One other thing I have not mentioned above is I nerfed the solar arrays a bit. Not the vanilla panel, but the ones from Adv Solar. I turned on the harder recipes, which I thought were on, but were not, and I also cut the energy production in half. The second one is the one you will want to take note of. The switch to hard recipes does make them a little bit more difficult, but nothing to difficult. The tier 1 array is still pretty easy to build.
I cut the energy production as I felt it was too high for an easy to obtain, safe, and passive energy source. So the tier 1 array is at 4 EU/t, tier 2 is at 32 EU/t, and tier 3 is at 256 EU/t. I have not adjusted the vanilla panel at this time.
I know it is possible some of you may not agree with me on this, so please post your opinions. Regardless of where you stand, if you use the arrays, the output reduction will affect things you have setup, so you may want to take a look at them on test.

Re: Test server update 1.4.7 1.0
while I don't agree with the solar nerf, it's fine but let me point out one thing: material costs..
for one ultimate, under the current conditions on 1.4.6, it requires UU (12 pieces), glowstone (6 pieces), 24 coal, 3 stacks of coal dust, 3 obsidian, 9 lapis lazuli, 1 stack of iridium ore etc.
1 stack of iridium ore makes only 16 plates...that's broken down into:
1 stack of iridium ore, 1 stack of advanced alloy,16 diamonds macerated
to get the 16 plates needed, you need 4 stacks of iTNT
4 stacks of iTNT = 2.5 stacks of tnt and 5 stacks of flint dust(which equals 10 stacks of flint)
That's 13 stacks of gunpowder, 10 stacks of sand.
With mo'creatures still making love to zombies instead of the rest of the vanilla spawns, the alternative is to get saltpeter (found mainly in desert biomes), sulphur (nether, or near lava), and coal dust
continuing on with the math, that's ~9 stacks of saltpeter, ~5 stacks of sulphur, and ~5 stacks of coal dust
though while writing this I did see we have a new recipe for gunpowder using redstone and coal dust
(22 stacks of redstone, 18 stacks of coal dust)
we won't even talk about the insanity of the matterfab power requirements to get those 12 pieces.
As you can see, this is a crazy amount of material for somethign as trivial as a solar panel, and then to effectively
that to get the same outputs is a pain.
Gretech machines as a whole are power hungry zombies in of themselves, if you do not maintain the FULL eu/t you will lose all your energy stored up. I've drained a bank of 5 MFSU's because the Gregtech grinder was only getting 127 of the 128eu/t required before I figured out his methodology.
I now have to have separate banks of mfsu's for almost each of the GT machines, and even then I have to be careful of what shares that line, and whether I am processing at night or not.
His machines don't have a MAX eu input...they have a REQUIRED eu input.

Re: Test server update 1.4.7 1.0
Yes, a solar panel is trivial, and it's easy recipe reflects that. The Ultimate solar array on the other hand is not in any way trivial. It is a essentially 512 of the panels (pre nerf) combined into a single magic cube that even produces a modest amount EU without sunlight.
I know that the costs of the tier 2 and 3 arrays are high, but that is how I think they need to be. They are a safe and passive energy source that requires no maintenance. There are cheaper alternatives to produce the same EU with a modest footprint, but they consume fuel, and in cases come with risks.

Updates since prior version of Thermal Expansion
-Bugfix: Aqueous Accumulator sided tank interaction corrected.
-Bugfix: Redstone Energy Conduits now work properly with the Redstone Energy Cell.
-Bugfix: Redstone Energy Conduits now play nicely with all engines.
-IMPORTANT: Examined the metaphysical nature of the relationship of the Pulverizer and Smelter. The road has come to a fork.
-API: The API has been updated slightly to handle the above change. If you were only using the Crafting Helpers, there should not be any issue.
-Added: Information and Tutorial tabs; either/both of these can be disabled in the config files.

-Added: Smelter recipes for various Alloy recipes.
-Bugfix: Handled an issue that would occur with Redstone Energy Cells on server restarts.
-Bugfix: Handled an issue that would (rarely) occur with Liquiducts and broken chunks.
-Bugfix: Liquiducts should no longer be able to dupe liquid in some cases.
-Changed: Default ore gen values have changed. These will not overwrite existing config files.
-Changed: Disabling an ore will also prevent it from co-generating.
-Changed: Engines have been revamped - the Heat mechanic is gone and the visual feedback has been altered.
-Changed: Engines will no longer accept liquid containers via their GUI slots. REMOVE EXISTING CONTAINERS FROM MAGMATIC ENGINES WHILE YOU CAN.
-Changed: Machines and Engines that hold liquids can now be filled/emptied directly by right clicking on them with an appropriate container.
-Changed: Magma Crucible has been rebalanced a bit.
-Changed: Magmatic Engines now require Invar Ingots and Gears instead of Tin.
-Changed: Netherrack to Lava conversion is more expensive - this new default value IS enforced upon updating. You may still change it in the config file.
-Changed: Render for the Portable Tank is slightly more responsive.
-Changed: Sided connection logic for machines has been changed - it is more specific now in what can connect and when. This may cause issues with BuildCraft pipes in the short term.
-Changed: Smelter now requires Invar Ingots instead of Sand.
-Changed: Updated to new external APIs - this fixes a few things which weren't bugs, strictly speaking.
-Removed: Brass and Bronze Conversion through dusts. This *might* get added back in through the Induction Smelter.
-Textures: Energy Cell render texture has been renamed. Sorry about that.
-Textures: Engine texture style has changed to represent the "new" engines. Texture packs do not have to update these files, but it is is recommended.

Re: Test server update 1.4.7 1.0
I have also gone ahead and restored the hybrid and ultimate power generation back to their original values of 64 and 512. I left the reduction on the advanced array due to it's simpler recipe. Seeing there is no recipe for 8 advanced = 1 hybrid, this should work out OK. The harder recipes have been left on though.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Spotted Together at Friend's Party [VIDEO]
Jelena fans, it's that time again, where we get ready to analyze grainy photos and video to tell if Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are back together once more.
The famous singers are notorious for their back-and-forth relationship, and they are once again making headlines for possibly being back on. Khalil, rapper and friend to JB, posted a video from their mutual friend Alfredo Flores' birthday party. The Insta vid shows a brief glimpse of the royal couple standing together.
This news update may not be too surprising, considering the Biebs himself recently posted — then deleted — a photo of him looking awfully cozy with Selena, with the even more telling caption, "Our love is Unconditional." We're not entirely sure why he removed the romantic pic from his Instagram, but if he's trying to keep their reunion a secret, he's definitely not doing a sneaky enough job.
What do you think, Beliebers and Selenators? Are you happy this everlasting duo has found their way back together once again?

there are many IDEs around for C\C++, afew include
Visual C++, DevC++, and Code::Blocks. so the
question is what IDE do you use and why do you use
that IDE?
i use VisualC++ (previous was DevC++) because it
provides an Overall good Debugger.

I don't use an IDE anymore, I used to use Dev-C++ while at work but its version of mingw is very old. I just use Notepad++ and compile manually when I get home.
For me it depends on the project.
If I am coding in C#, I use Visual Studio. Overall I think Visual Studio is an excellent IDE and I love its feature set.
However, I only use Visual Studio for C# projects, because when coding in C++ I like to compile with gcc/g++.
So, when coding in C++, I normally use Code::Blocks (for larger projects) on Windows, and Notepad++ (for smaller things). On Linux I'll use one of the several editors out there: VIM, KDevelop/Kate, etc. I usually combine that with makefiles and gcc.
For languages such as Python and PHP, I'll use a standard text editor.
For Java, I normally use Eclipse, although I must admit I really dislike both Java and Eclipse.
My Website
"Circular logic is good because it is."
I don't like IDE's, altho I've barely used them. The few times I did (eclipse) it just seemed pointless and silly.
Mostly I think this is because I love VIM and command line tools. When I need a GUI debugger I'll use DDD, which is okay. I also use a source code viewer that I wrote myself. I prefer different apps for different tasks, esp. since I tend to have different sets of material in the editor (5 or 6 tabs of my code) than in the viewer (maybe 4-8 tabs of lib sources or whatever), an exectuable in DDD, and then a terminal window for compiling, testing, running stuff like gdb or valgrind or whatever. I kind of think this is less cluttered and easier to keep organized, but probably if I used an IDE long enough I'd develop skills there and it would amount to the same thing. The reason I'm not interested in doing that, tho, is that I consider developing command line skils more generally useful. Bash has a lot going on. Eg, "for x in *; do [........]; done", etc, is handy stuff.
Another great thing is that I have like 10000 lines of history or something in the terminal, and valgrind and gdb output remains after you run them. Sometimes I can work all day and still scroll back and see 6 hours worth of output without having to save it or anything.
I'm "telecommuting" right now via ssh and openvpn, and while I don't have to write code remotely those CLI skills are pretty nice to have, the job would be a tremendous headache without them.
People have said eclipse is actually a bad example, but to me the concept itself has no appeal -- the only way I would bother with an IDE would be if it telepathically perceived my intentions and wrote code for me.

C programming resources:
GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
The C Book -- nice online learner guide
Current ISO draft standard
CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
When I'm on Windows, I use Visual Studio TFS (essentially, I only write C++ on windows,) which is the best IDE I've ever used. Not saying a ton considering for just about everything else I use Emacs (and for just about everything else I'm on Linux/OS X, too.)
Exception: When I do java, I use eclipse, although eclipse is pretty much the most annoying damn IDE on the planet. But it works. If I could have VS + Java integration I would pretty much immediately toss Eclipse away like a used rag.
Everything else is Emacs.
operating systems: mac os 10.6, debian 5.0, windows 7
editor: back to emacs because it's more awesomer!!
version control: git

For C++ I use either Visual Studio or Code::Blocks.
For web programming I use Notepad++.
Maybe one day I will check what's all the fuss about vim and Emacs and why they compete with graphical IDEs, but right now I prefer to stick to graphical stuff.
"The Internet treats censorship as damage and routes around it." - John Gilmore
I program on a Mac and I used Xcode.
I use Visual Studio for all Win32 x86 development. Why? Because it has the richest feature set and it is easiest to integrate and interface with existing Microsoft technologies. As of right now I develop exclusively on Windows and embedded Windows so I have no need for other compilers or IDEs.
The most annoying part of MSVS is the plethora of options available per project per build target. They need to simplify this or make it easier to use. Merging project and solution files, while possible since they are in XML, is a PITA.
Windows: Visual Studio
Linux: Eclipse

Visual Studio
- Starting with the 2008 version, all the gripes with IntelliSense were mostly gone, making it -- finally and after so many years -- a truly useful feature that doesn't break around every corner.
- While the Express editions are mostly featureless, starting with the Professional editions and up is where Visual Studio really shines. Too many features to name, making this probably the most complete suit in existence and capable of serving all types of projects.
- It's a fair bet any working place I intend to put my application in, uses Visual Studio. Thus it makes sense to stick to it. This is not "just" some IDE. It takes time to explore, to understand the overall architecture, and because of this I would be at a disadvantage when applying for a job. And the reverse is also true; Being that I plan to start a busi8ness sometime this Fall, it's a safer bet to require Visual Studio from possible candidates.
- It supports both languages I currently use for coding (C++ and C#). And its compiler is standard and allows me to create C++ code that I can compile on other platforms.
- Its development cycle is long enough (2-3 years) that allows me to stick to an IDE that is not constantly worrying me about upgrades and introducing new features that take me away from coding time (the thing that most matters to me).
- The most feature-rich editor in existence in my opinion. More than Visual Studio when it comes to features directly related to the editor.
- Excellent support for GCC (linux or MinGW) and GDB. Puts to shame everything else. The debugger frontend deserves special mention since it simply has no rival.
- Its ContextTagging was already near perfect and Microsoft was still trying to make IntelliSense behave as it was supposed to. Long before VS, SlickEdit was already displaying symbols, declarations and definitions on mouse-click context and auto-displaying parameter lists. Too many features to name.
- It also supports Visual C++, although I'm unsure how useful that can be since VS debugger is better supported in Visual Studio.
- I use it every time i need GCC/MinGW, and as my editor on Linux. Today I use it much less. But for any windows or Linux programmer interested on GCC and GDB, this is my tool of choice.

I've used Dev C++ untill i saw Code::Blocks! That IDE is a heaven on earth!!
I like the way it handles errors, messages, files and everything else!! I can honestly
say that it's the best IDE I have worked with, made for the best programming language
i've ever learned!! ( i know BASIC, PASCAL, DELPHI, C and C++ ). Guess what's the best!!
Something more:
Microsoft Visual Studio is the worst IDE i've ever seen!
(1) Nonportable code
(2) DX8 and 9 unsupported
(3) ISO code problems : min, max, asm, mod etc
(4) You want more??
Seriously? It breaks on me ALL THE TIME at work, and it's highly frusterating (combinations of CPP macros + boost + templates make it go haywire and nigh impossible to use in some instances.) We've found some pretty simple stuff at work that can make it break sometimes.Starting with the 2008 version, all the gripes with IntelliSense were mostly gone, making it -- finally and after so many years -- a truly useful feature that doesn't break around every corner.
FWIW, VS 2010 has amazing intellisense and paring support for C++. I've been using the RC for a little while now and it hasn't broken on me yet. I believe it goes stable in March.
Wrong, mostly. Just don't use the MS-only extensions/functions. I use Visual Studio every day on a C++ code base that build cleanly on linux.Microsoft Visual Studio is the worst IDE i've ever seen!
(1) Nonportable code
Just install the DirectX SDK and set your linker/include paths? I've built plenty of DX11 applications with VS2008 (and more recently VS2010.)(2) DX8 and 9 unsupported
Can you elaborate? Visual C++ used to be HORRIBLE way back when (it wouldn't even appreciate the rules of proper lexical scoping!) but these days it is stable and tested. I don't doubt there are discrepancies w.r.t. the standards, but I've never heard of these in particular and would like to hear more.(3) ISO code problems : min, max, asm, mod etc

Untrue. But you need the DX SDK.(2) DX8 and 9 unsupported
min and max are known problems when developing Windows apps. Not specific to the IDE.(3) ISO code problems : min, max, asm, mod etc
Oh yes, and the asm keyword... well, the compiler supports inline assembly, so obviously using this keyword is bad.
Yes, please. Something concrete.(4) You want more??

Welcome to Sunday Matinee, where we highlight classic car reviews or other longer videos I find on YouTube. Kick back and enjoy this blast from the past.
If your local NBC/ABC/FOX/CBS affiliate isn't showing a 24-hour livefeed of the Dakar Rally, and I have no idea why they wouldn't, remember to have no fear. You can still watch the Dakar, even if it is from 1984.
This documentary is actually fantastic, in that it has beautiful, sweeping uninterrupted shots. Plus it's got a rally Porsche 911, and there ain't nothing wrong with that.
Now if only somebody would give me a rally Porsche 911.

Faster U.S. mail for some
By Dallas Pierce
Playing off the anticipated success of the "Registered Traveler" program, and owing to a dramatic post-911 increase in amount of mail that must be screened for explosives and toxic substances, U.S. Postal Authorities today announced the advent of a "Registered Mailer" Program.
The so-called "Registered Mailer" program is designed to allow those who have submitted personal information and been fingerprinted to get their mail "up to 1 day sooner" than those who have not. The yearly fee in a current test program is $80 per participant.
The U.S. Postal Service believes that by pre-clearing certain individual's mailings based on information they've shared, and subsequent background checks, they can increase the effectiveness of their screening systems by focusing limited resources on more thoroughly screening parcels belonging to those for whom they have no information.
The program would be voluntary, the choice to participate being up to those that want to participate. In addition, individual Post Offices could decide against participating in the program.
"The average amount of time it [take] to send most stuff through our [Roanoke Regional Sorting] Facility [be] about a week and half," said spokesperson Sherry Seedaline, "…saving a day make a big difference to some folk."
Some frequent mailers eagerly await the program. Willie Stroker, a self-described "executary" at the offices of a restaurant chain based in Roanoke, VA, who mails almost 4 medium-sized nondescript packages a year said, "I would pay my own money if I knew they [government] wasn't going to be all up in my packages … that's how much I like faster mail!"
Critics point out that the program is just another example of the government taxing the American people for services they should be performing our of general tax revenues. Where does the government stop in trying to double-tax America citizens? Asked tax protest group "We the People" founder Helen Wait. However, an unnamed Postal official was quoted as putting it coldly; "Hey, you wanna maybe get your mail a day earlier, or not? No one's holding a gun to your head."
But holding a gun to your head maybe exactly what's in store for some, as voters in the city of San Francisco only narrowly defeated a referendum to charge residents an upfront fee for emergency response services, in a recently defeated "Registered Persons" initiative. Registered Persons started as an ambitious attempt by local activists to pre-register homeless residents so as to more efficiently deliver the vast array of city services to increasingly large numbers of homeless that can be difficult to locate on a consistent basis (the initiative called for the electronic tagging of homeless persons).
The initiative ran aground when it was expanded to include children under the age of 12, the elderly, and those that voted Republican in the last election cycle.
