Writers on a New England Stage: Ken Burns
By Laura Knoy
On Monday, award-winning documentary film maker Ken Burns addressed a live audience at the Music Hall in Portsmouth as part of our Writers on a New England Stage Series. Burns's latest documentary, called "The War", details the stories of soldiers, families and loved one in four American cities during the four years of American involvement in World War II. Burns' companion book to his documentary is called "The War: An Intimate History 1941-1945". Today we play back for you part of Monday night's event.

Point Roberts and Lily Point
I had a project in Whatcom County, Washington that required some international travel. All told four international border crossings in one day. The details of how Point Roberts remained in the United States are summed up at wiki/Point_Roberts,_Washington. Because of its peculiar location, it is a rather interesting community and kind of remarkable that it has remained in the United States.
Lily Point viewed from the high bluff to the north
Lilly Point is not a pristine landscape. Far from it. The point today is probably as pristine as it ever has been. First of all the Point is likely not a very old geologic feature. It is a sand and gravel spit. Hugh Shipman called it a cupsate foreland HERE. It is fed by gravel and sand from eroding bluffs to the west.
Second the site is smack dab in the middle of a very rich fishing area of the Salish Sea. Lots of First Nations peoples utilized this site. Peter Puget of the Vancouver Expedition estimated 400 to 500 people occupied Lilly Point when he visited the Point in 1792. Today no one lives at the Point.
Lily Point in the early 1900s cannery era
Pilings from one of the old cannery buildings, Lummi Island is in the distance
Anthropocene bedrock - tin slag boulder, a common feature at old canneries
Not sure if this has anything to do with the cannery, but I noted several auto erratics on the beach
Today the site has a few trails. A parking area and trail head have recently been constructed by Whatcom County Parks. During my hike the bald eagles gave the forest trail on the way to the point a Jurassic Park feel with their strange calls and chattering. The tide was not out during my visit, but this site has a very rich marine ecosystem - a significant motive for protection. Lily Point is a scenic site and has changed over time into a remarkable natural area, but is also a site steeped in history and culture. Lily Point is on the National Register of Historic Places as a site of National Cultural, Traditional and Spiritual Significance. On a quiet chilly April evening I had mulled the long history of this place over hundreds to thousands of years, how much it must have changed, what brought about those changes and how it will be used in the centuries ahead. Part of my thinking relates to some personal history at Point Roberts and Lily Point; until this week I hadn't been to Lilly Point since it became a public park.
I won't go into details about my political era in Whatcom County and Lily Point and battles over protecting cultural resources at Point Roberts. But I will close with one fond memory about Point Roberts from the very beginning of that political period. When I was running for election to Whatcom County government, I visited Point Roberts to do a geology hazard investigation with an engineer. We had a challenging time figuring out the slope and risks. It was cold windy and very wet. Afterwards we went to a local eatery/bar to warm up and talk through various ideas on how to solve a tricky problem. From there I walked over to the meeting hall to participate in a political debate. I did change out my muddy clothes. Several folks approached me and said, "Hey, weren't you in the bar?" That was followed by, I'd vote for you, but I'm Canadian.

Two hours before opening time Saturday, diners already
crowded a sunny nook in the dining room at the Naglee Road Applebee's restaurant
Managers opened the eatery early for the second consecutive
weekend to host a pancake breakfast to raise money for the family of a former
employee, 20-year-old Diana Villanueva, who was killed Nov. 10 in a car crash.
The last breakfast brought in $340 for the Villanueva
family, while the second Dec. 1 event raised about $500, though the turnout was
Instead of paying the $5 minimum, people chipped in $20s and
$10s to the memorial fundraiser, which Villanueva's family will probably use to
pay for her funeral in Mexico.
Friends, family, teachers and even complete strangers to
Villanueva showed up, bringing their kids, their spouses and friends of their
Though Tracyite John Torres never met Villanueva, he came
alone Saturday because he was impressed with the camaraderie he heard she
Ruben Medina brought seven people from his own family to the
charity breakfast for much the same reason.
"I've never met her," he said. "But this is great. It's a
good thing to support."
Cooks and managers in the back showed up to work early
Saturday and the week before to volunteer their time to assemble the breakfast
"There's really nothing we can do to fix this, to make it
better," said restaurant manager Jose Reinoso, who raced back and forth between
kitchen and foyer to seat guests and serve food. "So this is the least we could
do — to help the family."
Co-workers remember Villanueva as a "bright, bubbly girl,"
said one of her former co-workers Anthony Vides, 19.
"Honestly, when I'd come to work, seeing her made me want to
work harder and be happy," he said. "She was one of the reasons I liked working
When he'd come in on his days off, Vides would give her
generous tips.
The last time he saw the young server was in the summer, before
the both of them quit to focus on school.
"I hadn't seen her in a while, but when I heard what happened,
I knew I had to be here," he said.
Villanueva's medical instructor, Joannie Younger, drove to
the restaurant early Saturday morning to honor the memory of one of her "best
and brightest" students.
"I think this is amazing. It's great that she's getting this
support, that her family is," she said, looking around at the turnout, which
included a group of Villanueva's cousins.
"It's kind of weird that she's gone," reflected Michelle
Orzal, a bartender. "She used to just stop in, even after she didn't work here
anymore. Everyone liked her so much."
Applebee's held similar fundraisers in the past to raise
money for employees whose parents died on the same day.
"When something unexpected, something unfortunate happens,
what else can we do?" asked Reinoso. "We can just donate our time and show we
care in what ways we can."

The Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas lies just 200 miles from the Mexican border.
On Sunday it will host the first U.S. Grand Prix since 2007 -- and thousands of Formula One fans are expected to cross the Rio Grande to cheer on a driver they know as "Checo."
Sergio Perez has become one of the darlings of Mexico, a country that in recent times has become more synonymous for the drugs war waged by Felipe Calderon during his tenure as president.
The sporting focus this weekend will be on America, but the problems of its neighbor will come into sharp focus in the Mexican town of Nuevo Laredo -- the closest crossing point for those hoping to see Perez at what is, in effect, his home race.
It is a town that in recent months has become awash with drug-related killings, the most recent resulting in 10 suspected criminals being shot dead in a gunfight with soldiers and the police last month. Nationwide, the battle against drugs in the last six years has accounted for 60,000 deaths, 16,000 bodies remain unidentified and 24,000 people are missing.
It's an issue that Perez would rather not speak about. Not that he shies away from hard subjects in conversation, but simply because he would love his country to be remembered for other reasons.
"My country is really only in the media for drugs and violence, which is sad," says the 22-year-old from Guadalajara. "And yes there have been problems with the Mafia and drugs, but it's getting better.
"People need to focus on the fact it's a great place, with some great beaches and some great people. It's the best country in the world and I'm so proud to be Mexican," adds Perez, as his bright smile breaks out for the first time in conversation.
It's not difficult to see his appeal. Perez has given his country much-needed positive headlines with his performances for the Sauber team over the past two years, and many of his 114 million compatriots aspire to emulate his success story.
The times he has been able to return home this season have been relatively few and far between -- such is the punishing schedule of an F1 driver -- but the reaction is always the same, and it's not uncommon for Perez to be mobbed in public.
In Guadalajara, he is vying for the crown of the city's favorite son with his close friend Javier Hernandez, who plays for top English soccer club Manchester United.
Perez knew "Chicharito" long before he became a household name in the Premier League, and talks fondly of watching him play for his home city in past seasons.
"The thing is I didn't know how good he was then," says Perez, himself a keen footballer and, like Hernandez, a striker. "If I did I would have bought him myself, sold him and made lots of money!
"But obviously I watched him many times play for our city and he was clearly very good. But it was still a surprise for us when Manchester United signed him. But he's been very good and scored some good goals lately both for Man Utd and for Mexico."
The pair remain in close contact via text, with Hernandez berating Perez for his association with Chelsea, which signed up as a partner to the Sauber team earlier this season.
"He doesn't like seeing me in Chelsea colors," admits Perez with a smile.
Next season, that will no longer be a problem because Perez is moving up the grid to McLaren, a deal that was sealed last month and which led to a wave of texts of congratulations from Hernandez among others.
Perez has been hot property in his sophomore F1 season following a trio of podium finishes at a team usually more renowned for keeping pace somewhere in the midfield of the grid.
And he admits his sudden rise to the top draws parallels with Hernandez -- who scored just 18 minutes into his United debut and was crowned player of the year for the 2010-11 season as the club won a record 19th English title.
"I guess it's similar, yes," Perez says. "I hope I start at McLaren like Chicharito did at Man Utd."
Perez does not lack for ambition or confidence. When asked about his goals for next season, he says deadpan: "Just one goal -- to be world champion."
While admirable as a target, it's highly unlikely. For one thing, McLaren is still struggling to match the pace of the front-running Red Bulls despite Perez's repeated mantra that "I've joined the best team in the world."
Then there is the fact that alongside him in the other McLaren is Jenson Button, 10 years old and wiser, and with a world title and 14 race wins to his name.
But Perez is not deterred by such statistics and, in conversation, it's hard not to buy into his positive outlook -- which McLaren has clearly done by paying him a reported $11 million a year.
"My target straight away is to win the world championship," he says. "I need to get wins to do that. I know it will be very hard to win the championship but it's the challenge I want."

A snow plow drives down West Main Street, Somerset Tuesday morning as Hurricane Sandy continues to deliver snow and rain to the region. (Brian Whipkey / October 30, 2012) |
A person was killed in a Somerset County traffic accident during Hurricane Sandy Monday night and thousands are dealing with power outages Tuesday morning.
State police did not immediately release the name of the deceased passenger or the driver of the car because the family had not been notified.
The people were southbound on Kingwood Road in Upper Turkeyfoot Township at 9:36 p.m. when the driver lost control of the car on the snow and slush covered roads. The car crossed the double yellow centerline, across the northbound lane and rolled over into a farm pond on the east side of Route 281. Both the driver and passenger were trapped.
The driver, a 51-year-old Confluence woman, wasn't injured and tried to get the passenger out of the vehicle, but was unable. The passenger was pronounced dead at Somerset Hospital.
The storm interrupted electrical service to many Somerset County residents
Scott Surgeoner, spokesman for First Energy, the parent company of Penelec, said about 2,000 customers were still without power about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday in Somerset County.
He gave the following report of customers still being without power: 189 in Elk Lick Township, 178 in Brothersvalley Township, 154 in Jefferson Township, 679 in Somerset Township, 150 in Shade Township, 170 in Somerset Borough, and 187 in Upper Turkeyfoot Township. He said there are other areas with less than 100 customers out of service around the county.
He said crews will be assessing and repairing the damage throughout the day.
Rich Bauer, general manager, Somerset Rural Electric, said 600 customers were without power at the height of the storm, but 500 remained without electricity as of 9 a.m. Tuesday. He expected that everyone would have electricity restored by late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning.
"It wasn't just one area, it was scattered over the entire system," he said. "Seven Springs had 20 inches of snow, Pocahontas had 14 inches."
All Somerset Rural Electric crews worked overnight. Workers also came in from another co-operative, a contracted company and right-of-way crews.
"We put stuff up and another tree falls and brings it back down," Bauer said. "We're slowly making headway."

As an online business owner and marketer, I take pride in being involved in almost every aspect of my business. But notice that I qualified that statement with the word "almost". That's right– when it comes to running my online business; I know which components require my attention – and which ones are better left to automated marketing systems.
If you're not using a bevy of systems to streamline your online business, you're truly missing out on many time-saving avenues.
Here are the systems you need to have to make running a successful online business a little easier:
If you're crunched for time, you might find it beneficial to have another writer tackle your blog posts for you. I've mentioned it before, and I'll say it again, a freelance writer can help you fill up your blog with valuable content, as well as attract attention from those search engines. Find a freelance writer on Guru.com or Elance.com, hire them, and sit back as your blog fills up with tons of great content.
If you regularly email your list or send out promotional materials, you may find that having autoresponder software will save you a significant amount of time. Autoresponder software can send out promotional emails, newsletters, and other valuable content to a vast list in mere seconds, leaving you more time to focus on other aspects of your business. A few vendors I like are iContact, Constant Contact, Mail Chimp, and Aweber.
Capture pages are those little one-off websites that allow you to build up lists, market special promotions, and sell multiple products without having to create complex websites. Capture pages can be quick and easy to build, especially if you use capture page software like IMTool Suite, OptimizePress, and WordPress plug-ins.
Use these tools to help streamline your business – so you can spend more time focusing on your next big venture!
What systems do you have in place that is working really well for you? Have questions about any of the systems I mention here, please leave them and your comments below.
To your continued business success!

Despite their tiny size, bacteria play an important role in eczema and in the overall health of the skin [Hanifin 2009]. beyond the frequent skin infections associated with severe disease, there is the even more important idea that colonizing bacteria—those that are simply residing on the skin—may also directly drive inflammation [Abeck 1998]. Recent studies have found that in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) the balance of bacteria on the skin is highly abnormal, with a preponderance of "bad" bacteria such as staphylococcus [Lin 2007].
Would you like to participate in a clinical research trial? A clinical trial is a research study in human volunteers used to determine whether new drugs or treatments are safe and effective. Clinical testing is preceded by extensive laboratory research, and is normally done in three phases.
A new study supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggests that sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) can reduce the allergic response to peanut in adolescents and adults. SLIT is a treatment approach in which, under medical supervision, people place a small amount of allergen under the tongue to decrease their sensitivity to the allergen.
National Jewish Health (NJH) has received an educational grant from GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) to improve the care of pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis in a medically underserved population. The one-year $586,511 independent medical educational program grant from GSK will be used by NJH to train health care providers and team members from Rocky Mountain Youth Clinics (RMYC) to better diagnose and manage their atopic dermatitis patients, and ultimately improve patient care and quality of life in the Denver metropolitan area.

Eichenfield, MD, FAAD, a board-certified pediatric dermatologist, chief, division of pediatric and adolescent dermatology and professor of pediatrics and medicine (dermatology), Rady Children's Hospital and University of California, San Diego School of Medicine. Dr. Eichenfield is also a member of the National Eczema Association Scientific Advisory Committee.
OVERVIEW For the millions of children and adolescents affected by chronic skin conditions such as atopic
Using bioinformatics to mine allergen databases and epidemiological studies, investigators at NIAID have uncovered new information on what makes people allergic to allergens. The NIAID team found that the differences between the structure of foreign proteins and the structure of self-proteins made the foreign ones allergenic. The results of their work appear online in the July 18th issue of PLoS ONE.
Allergic diseases, such as asthma, food allergy, and seasonal allergies, affect millions of people in the United States and seem to be on the rise.
To quantify and compare the physiochemical properties of various topical emollients and to correlate these findings with the products' potential to maintain the stratum corneum (SC) acid milieu, while possessing the appropriate water content for skin rehydration, user adherence, and comfort.
The pH and hydrophilic fraction of 31 skin moisturizers sold in the US were measured. Hydrophilic Index (HI) was calculated using the "HI equation." The two parameters were charted using a scatter plot with quadrant divisions.
To my great delight, a new t-shirt came in the mail the other day. Not only is it the bright sunshine yellow I feel drawn to on these gray winter days, but it also represents a new dawning for NEA. The logo on my yellow t will be on our first official t-shirt for our inaugural fund-raising walk, Itching for a Cure, in April 2012.
The National Eczema Association (NEA) began as a small patient support group organized by Dr. Jon Hanifin, a physician and researcher in the Dermatology Department of Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, Oregon.
Report by Peter M. Elias, M.D. Dermatology Service, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and Department of Dermatology, University of California, San Francisco. Both a defective skin barrier, as well as a tendency to develop secondary infections, are well-recognized features of atopic dermatitis (AD).
By Dr. Sunil Sharon Dhawan. What is hand dermatitis? Well, it's any chronic rash on the hands. It is usually symptomatic; it itches, burns, bleeds, irritates, et cetera. About 2 to 9 percent of the general population has it, and a lot of people in my practice and a lot of people in most dermatology practices have it.
A report released in October 2005 by the National Eczema Association (NEA) offers guidance to both patients and physicians regarding the use of two common skin care medications that have been the subject of public health advisories by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In the NEA report, physicians from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) in Boston, Massachusetts, provide an independent review of the clinical benefits and potential cancer risks associated with the drugs Elidel (pimecrolimus) and Protopic (tacrolimus).
Researchers at National Jewish Medical and Research Center report in the October 10, 2005, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine that patients with atopic dermatitis, also known as eczema, are susceptible to bacterial infections of their skin because they fail to produce effective amounts of two antimicrobial peptides. The findings demonstrate for the first time the clinical significance of these peptides in humans, and suggest that a medication containing or inducing the peptides may one day be used to fight the infections that plague millions of atopic dermatitis patients. The accompanying editorial in the journal called it a seminal study.
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), a division of the National Institutes of Health recently held a roundtable meeting on the topic of Itch Research. The National Eczema Association's (NEA) advocacy helped make this first roundtable dedicated to itch possible. Why is this important? Itch is being given attention and looked at more closely on a national level.
Danielle Alexander was the featured eczema patient speaker at the Fourth Annual National Eczema Association Patient Conference.
What Is Contact Dermatitis? If you develop redness, heat, swelling and pain on your skin when you come in contact with certain substances, you may have what is known as "contact dermatitis."
Community members have expressed concern after reading recent media coverage relating to the methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. Here are some basic questions and answers about the organism.
In the January issue of the British Journal of Dermatology, Dr. Gil Yosipovitch and colleagues from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, reported on their study to examine the effects of repetitive heat and scratching on itch intensity in 16 patients with atopic dermatitis and 10 healthy subjects.
Excerpt from the American Academy of Dermatology Skin Briefs E-News SAN ANTONIO (Feb. 3, 2008) New studies examining the genetic basis of the condition support the longstanding theory that atopic dermatitis might be caused by a defect in the skin's protective outer layer known as the epidermal barrier allowing irritants, microbes and allergens to penetrate the skin and cause adverse reactions.

Arrested in Tibet, Naked Photos: World Record Tandem Pair Tell All
Bicycling in Lhasa, Tibet
After the news broke that all foreigners must leave Tibet, Mandy and Benny considered whether they would need to put their Hase Pino Tandem bicycle on a train. But things calmed, so they pushed on.
Until their fears were realized: while mounting up after a night's rest hidden from view along the roadside, the police descended upon them. "Where had they slept? What were they doing?" Would the police understand that Mandy and Benny posed no threat on their peaceful tandem journey, circumnavigating the world and hoping to break the world record for the longest tandem bicycle tour?
Fortunately, they suffered only the delay and the psychological stress of repeated questioning without knowing the intentions of the unpredictable Tibetan police. But they were treated well, and invited to eat during ten hours of detention. They protested briefly, before deciding not to make waves, when forced to sign papers in Chinese allegedly detailing their statements. Finally, they were trucked to yet another detention point for unknown reasons. Upon unloading their bike and gear, the pair simply insisted that there was no more grounds to hold them. They refused to enter the police station and rode away. The ploy worked; the police left them alone.
Arrested by Soldiers in Tibet
At least, this case was better than the circumstances of their first arrest, after leaving Chiu. An altercation at a restaurant led to the pair being attacked, kicked and stoned until they could defend themselves with pepper spray and escape using the speed advantage of their bike. Only to find themselves being brought to a room across from their attackers by soldiers helping the local police. Ironically, sleeping the night in police detention was the warmest night's sleep in four months time! Somehow the situation resolved itself; perhaps the police believed their side of the story. They were released to continue their journey.
Muddy Setbacks and Bicycle Breakdowns
Anyone who sets out on a world tour by bike expects setbacks. As Mandy and Benny put it: "If you do a trip like we do it, going around the world by bike for several years, then of course we do not do this only to get into the guinness book of world records." They are out there for the challenge, to "enjoy the landscapes" and "get in contact with the local people". In their weblog, they share their technical problems as well as the ups and downs of the journey.
Natural Shower in Southern China
For every problem, there is a solution. For every setback, a success. One day you may fall in the mud, but the next brings the opportunity for a natural shower in the wilderness of a foreign land. After 800km without asphalt, the joy of riding on a hard surface again! Is it the local beer they just drank causing a wobble in the bike? No, it's a broken frame. But luck favors the bold: On a road which may see only 5 vehicles a day, a truck offers a ride to the next town within minutes of the breakdown.
Roadside Picnic on a World Record Tandem Bike Tour
Mandy and Benny's weblog, Globe Cyclers is packed full of colorful photos. It is worth browsing the German weblog, Globe Cyclers (german), which has many more photos than the english version. It is a weblog full of smiles that will make you want to enjoy their journey with them, or start one of your own!

This Series equipment can crush material which max feed size is less than 500mm; compression strength is not more than 320 MPa (e.g. granite, limestone, concrete etc.) With its excellent performance and good performance, Impact Crusher is widely used in highway, hydroelectric, artificial stone and sand, crushing and building material industry etc.
Working principle:
PF Series Impact Crusher use impact energy to crush materials. When the impact crusher works, the motor drives the rotor rotate of the impact crusher with high speed. When the materials get into the area which the hammers effect, under the impact function of the hammer at a high speed, the materials are thrown to the impact device above the rotor continuously. And then the materials are rebounded from the impact liner to the area where the hammers effect for refreshing, then discharged from the discharge port. Users can adjust the space between Impact Rack and Rotor Support, and then get to the expected size.
PF Series Impact Crusher has larger crushing ratio, and can make full use of the high-speed impacting energy of the entire rotor. However, due to the blow bar is easily to wear, so it is restricted in hard materials. So Impact Crusher is mainly used in coarse, medium, and fine crush, such as, limestone, coal, calcium carbide, quartz, dolomite, sulfuration iron ore, gypsum, chemical raw material etc., under medium hard brittle material.

Live would freeze and crash on OS X Lion when sending MIDI data to any MIDI port.
Under certain conditions, quantizing transient markers could lead to overlapping warp markers, which would cause various problems when editing the warp marker or its segment BPM value.
Under certain conditions, the "Transient"-based Beats warp mode would play double attacks. With this bug fixed, it is possible that some clips sound different.
Excluding a plug-in from the scan process didn't work if Live crashed because of the first scanned plug-in, after enabling the VST plug-in source via Live's Preferences (Mac only).
Rendering a Live Set containing an EQ3 at sample rates below 44.1 KHz would result in an audio file containing pure silence.
Fixed a crash when loading a Live 7 Set with invalid clip color information in Live 8.
Detail view appeared empty after Hot-Swapping an unfolded Rack, because devices were scrolled out of view.
Infinitely long clips would be created if rewinding the global transport while making a new recording.
Track names could be incorrectly displayed when unfolding a Live set in the Live Browser. This only happened for "automatic names" that tracks get from the Instrument they contain. For Live Sets saved in earlier versions, names of tracks containing Racks, Max for Live devices or third-party plugins may still look wrong. Re-saving the Sets will fix the problem.
Some Operator presets could sound different when loading them, and then creating or moving a track.
The Frontier Design Tranzport was not getting updated when switching tracks.
The green zoom button was sometimes disabled when using Live with Mac OS X.
Resuming a clip in Session view while the track is armed but OVR is OFF could result in the clip not playing its notes.
Toggling OVR ON and OFF doesn't create an UNDO step anymore
Certain Library content wasn't usable for Live Intro users since version 8.2.
Enabling a clip loop via the loop switch or the Set Loop Length button would sometimes stop the clip.
Fixed a crash which could occur when hot-swapping a certain Drum Rack pad.
Eleven additional crashes were also fixed.

Part VI of XLII. (To learn more about zombies, read all related posts.)
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2003 15:11:30 -0500
Subject: Re: ZOMBIES

Zombies are awesome for many reasons.
1) They are a symbol of death. When you see a zombie, what you are essentially seeing is an animated corpse. It is not truly alive, and therefore, you are staring at a creature that embodies the very essence of death.
2) It is difficult to understand the fact that although they look human, they are no longer able to contribute to society in the same way as they did when they were alive.
They have no mental functions beyond that of instinct. Whatever has animated them simply forces them to do what their basic human ancestors did - hunt and kill.
3) Fear. There is the obvious fear - that of being killed. But there is a hidden underlying fear of what created the monsters. This, of course, leads to the next fear: is there a way to reverse the effects or at least stop those that are already this way? The fear just layers again and again, leaving you without any real hope. And without hope, all you have is fear.
Zombies cannot be reasoned with. There is no way to teach them. They are mindless. A zombie truly represents almost every aspect of the "other." If you look even deeper, they are actually our counterbalance. We think, they do not; we move quickly, they do not; they work in collective masses, we value the individual; they are dead, we are alive. We look at them and detest them because they are everything we are not.
Zombies spread like a disease and do not think about killing. Vampires and werewolves usually think, because they can. This allows them to make decisions, and still almost makes them seem human at times. We can completely "feel" for a vampire or werewolf. We only "feel" for zombies when they are put into a human light - when they are given human characteristics they do not have. Zombies are ruthless, and we would do best to remember that.
I hope this helped out.

Another scary thing about Zombies is that unlike turning into a dracula or a werewolf, when you turn into a zombie (and this could happen by just plain ol' dying rather than a zombie bite or scratch) you lose all the sense of you. You lose all of your mental facilities, your identity, and your memories.

text: Well, You Already Said Spite So...By Jeff FalconioIn my world, I always try to connect real life events with events from my all-time favorite TV show "Seinfeld." So when Brett Favre retired for the second time, my thoughts immediately turned to Jerry and the gang. Remember the episode where Jerry wanted to return a crested blazer out of spite? The store manager wouldn't allow it because you can't return an item out of spite. As Favre proved in 2008, you can't play in the NFL out of spite either. You have to be all in, 100% every week. Favre did not look like he wanted to be on the field in December and with his bicep injury it is clear that Favre didn't have it either physically or mentally by season's end. Sure, he could gut it out again, as he always has, but he's 39 now and even for the great ones age eventually catches up to you. But before he walks off the stage again Favre slung a bit more mud at Ted Thompson. So as we once again mentally prepare for life after Favre, the question is: did Favre hurt his legacy? The 2008 season almost seemed like a microcosm of Favre's entire career. It started wild, Favre looked like it was 1992 with a miracle last-gasp touchdown in week one against Miami. Then Favre elevated his game with a six touchdown performance against Arizona, reminiscent of the monster numbers he put up in his MVP years. Next came the big win against Tennessee, propelling the Jets to the top of the heap, leading many to believe New York was Super Bowl bound, much like the Packers were in Favre's heyday. But ultimately as the year wore down Favre couldn't quite get over the hump, eerily similar to the season-ending disappointments Favre suffered in the twilight of his career. His numbers were down from 2007 but he didn't look like an embarrassment. Yes, it was painful to watch at times but Favre didn't inflict any damage to his status at one of the top five greats at quarterback. But did he tarnish his image as last summer's nasty divorce from the Packers unfolded? Once again there was a bit of mudslinging from the old gunslinger himself. Shipped to Siberia? Come on Brett, the Jets have made the playoffs four times from 2001 to 2006. Detroit is the NFL's Siberia, not New York. Favre stated New York was suitable for the Packers because they knew the Jets wouldn't be as good as the Pack. Reality is, even before Favre arrived the Jets were pegged for a bounce back year. Remember, New York made significant moves in the offseason by picking up Alan Faneca to shore up a porous offensive line. New York also acquired Calvin Pace and Kris Jenkins (as an aside, while watching Favre all year did you pay attention to that 3-4 the Jets ran? They needed a true nose guard and linebacker depth, thus the need to make the moves). Favre also said another reason why the Packers traded him to the Jets is because the two teams wouldn't meet in 2008. Again, come on man. The NFL is fun but it's a business, like any other business. Of course the Packers were not going to release him so he could go anywhere and of course they wouldn't trade him to an NFC team. That makes no business sense. Favre is a veteran and he has witnessed several players unceremoniously cut because that's what happens in a business like the NFL. He should know better. It seemed like an unnecessary re-hashing of old wounds. As the saying goes, people remember the last thing you did. Favre proved that himself by singling out Thomas Jones and Kerry Rhodes, both critical of Favre after the season ended, in his farewell. The 2008 trade was mishandled by both sides but what's done is done, why go there one more time? The Packers stated yesterday that they remain committed to retiring Favre's number...when the time is appropriate. If Favre is truly done and he doesn't resurface during training camp, wouldn't the appropriate time be at halftime of the 2009 home opener? How much did Favre hurt his image though this whole ordeal? If in the future Favre changes his mind and forgives Thompson and the Packers, you can only hope the team won't respond the way the store manager did to Jerry, "you said spite...too late."

Not long ago, I ran into someone I'd not seen for a while, who moves in moneyed circles in New York. We started chatting about the usual things—kids, schools—and she told me she'd been consumed lately with political work, raising money for candidates nationwide who were committed to breaking teachers' unions. She said this with the same kind of social enthusiasm with which she might have recommended a new Zumba class, or passed on the name of a place to get really great birthday cakes.

Why do i even bother trying?
In the end you're still going to disregard all my efforts.
(Source: audrayee)
Some things are just meant to be kept secret.
It's not that i don't want to tell you, it's the fear of it spreading and being exaggerated to the point where it changes and becomes untrue.
(Source: audrayee)
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

"I received some unfortunate news that my new startup would not be part of the latest i/o ventures class. We made it to the very last round but did not get over the hump. Given over 350 companies applied, making it to the last round is something to be proud of." @geoffclapp
Like @Geoffclapp quoted above, I also received the unfortunate news this week that even though AppCRAFT had made it to the final round of the i.o ventures VC program, we would not be part of the final 5 companies who would travel to San Francisco to be mentored by i/o ventures.
You can imagine my disappointment at getting the news. My heart sank into my shoe's as questions raced through my mind. What happened? How could we make it so far and then fail during the final round of in depth due diligence?
"Due diligence" is a term used for a number of concepts involving either an investigation of a business or person prior to signing a contract, or an act with a certain standard of care. It can be a legal obligation, but the term will more commonly apply to voluntary investigations. A common example of due diligence in various industries is the process through which a potential acquirer evaluates a target company or its assets for acquisition." Wikipedia
Little did I know but AppCRAFT was not the only firm under "investigation".
To quell my thought's I dropped one of the i/o venture partners an email to find out where we had gone wrong. His responce… "You came across strong technically and with solid and relevant experience." … "The biggest thing is that my partners weren't super excited about the Nokia platform."… "even though Nokia is the largest platform it is dying on the vine and its marketplace is know to be weak."
So in other words, Nokia failed the last round of in depth due diligence and I failed because AppCRAFT develops apps for the Nokia platform. Did I miss something?
Nokia is the largest mobile platform on earth: 955 Million handsets in 190 countries, currently clocking over 4 million downloads a day and growing daily. "Weak marketplace" and dying on the vine"? wow ok, Obviously we do not have the same view of Nokia! What am I missing?
Here's what makes this news so disappointing.
AppCRAFT is an award winning mobile development startup based in South Africa. In less than 18 months we have risen from the African soil, taking top development awards both locally and internationally. We have proven that we have what it takes to deliver world class award winning content, within tight deadlines. With an early investment of only R2000 we successfully brought our applications to market during a serious global economic recession and managed to keep our heads above water for 18months.
Given the correct mentoring and finances, we could easily port these and other award winning idea's to many other platforms and this is exactly why we were looking to secure VC and mentoring.
The fact that we were dropped from a VC round because "my partners weren't super excited about the Nokia platform", is hard to swallow to say the least. Either we, being AppCRAFT are "strong technically" or we are not, either we have "solid and relevant experience" or we do not.
No matter how hard it is to accept this disappointing news though, we fully respect the decision i/o ventures made, I mean hey it's their time and money, they need to make sure they get the best ROI. I also need to echo the words of @geoffclapp "I honestly can't say a bad thing about the i/o venture process or Paul Bragiel" and now we move on to new pastures.
So moving forward, how can we learn from this? What lessons did we pick up and how can we improve?
1. Proving that you have what it takes by winning multiple awards means nothing. You can't win them all!
2. Developing for only one platform is a dying game, go big or go home.
3. No matter how large you are, there will always be people who view you as dying and weak.
4. If you are a small time startup, don't waste time looking for VC, focus on what you do best.
5. Share your experiences so others can learn from your mistakes.
Remember that no matter how hard you try, there will always be reasons to fail. All you need to remember is that no matter how many times you fail, once you have fallen get back up, dust yourself off and try again.
AppCRAFT will in future continue to develop award winning mobile applications. We will focus on what we do best and will continue to find innovative ways to stay ahead of the crowd.
A huge thank you goes out to i/o ventures for the chance we were given to take part in this VC round and for opening our eye's in many ways.

Robo Rally
RoboRally is a fast-moving robot race. Each player tries to be the first to cross a series of checkpoints by maneuvering a robot across the floor of the Grid Widget Factory. The factory floor is filled with machinery that's handy to have when you're making robots but not so helpful when you're racing from here to there. Walls, conveyor belts, rotating platforms, pits, and lasers are among the hazards that make races interesting at Widget Manufacturing. The 2005 edition of RoboRally includes new design and play mechanics that differ from the game's original 1994 release, but it's still completely compatible with the first edition. Here's what comes in your RoboRally box: RoboRally comes with four two-sided game boards that can be arranged in hundreds of ways to create an almost endless variety of racecourses. Each race is a new challenge!

Trick out your DSLR for maximum movie production
Shooting video with your DSLR is simple. You just switch over to motion mode and point your camera at something beautiful or interesting. But, if you want to get serious about shooting motion, having the right gear will really help you out. Here's a list of stuff that will make your movie-making experience more enjoyable and more productive.
Manfrotto 701HDV fluid tripod head
How necessary is it?
Why do I need it?
Camera shake is bad for still photos, but it can be downright nauseating when shooting motion, so a sturdy set of "sticks" is essential. For the legs, you want something that's going to be extremely stable and as light as possible. Carbon fiber is nice, but not entirely necessary. Stability and portability are your top priorities.
The head is where things get a little more specific. If you don't plan on moving the camera while it's on the tripod for pan shots, any kind will do fine, but eventually you're going to outgrow the static shot. Fluid heads are a great option because the movement is damped to make it smoother. Plus, they rotate on flat planes, making them more practical than many ball heads.
Hoodman Hoodloupe for 3" display
How necessary is it?
Why do I need it?
You're going to be doing 100% of your composing and focusing using the screen on the back of your camera, and that can cause some issues. Glare can be a big problem if you're shooting in the sunlight, and a loop will take care of that for you.
You'll also likely be focusing manually using only the screen as your reference, so having more magnification on your screen will give you a better look at your subject as you focus.
Plus, loops with an eye-piece let you shoot with the camera held-up to your eye, just like you would with a still camera, which a lot of shooters -- especially those of us who primarily shoot stills -- find convenient and maybe even a little bit comforting.
Hoya 77mm Neutral Density Filter
How necessary is it?
Why do I need it?
Shutter speed can be a tricky thing when shooting motion. You're limited on the slow end by the frame rate at which you're shooting. When you're shutter speed gets too fast, your footage starts to look jittery and unnatural. A neutral density filter helps keep that in check.
It serves the same purpose as it would in a still photography scenario, letting you use a wider aperture in bright situations. But, it also lets you slow down your shutter speed under similarly bright lights to keep things looking smooth.
You can buy variable neutral density filters that change strength as you rotate them, but they're often very expensive. You can also buy a few different strengths and stack them if you need to cut more light before it hits the sensor.

SHEFFIELD, England, April 27 (Xinhua) -- The newly launched World Snooker International Championship will be staged for the first time later this year, with the biggest top prize ever and top competitive level for a snooker event in Asia.
The world ranking event will run from October 28 to November 4 with 600,000 pounds (972,000 dollars) in total prize money and the winner to collect 125,000 pounds (202,000 dollars).
It will have the same level of ranking points as the UK Championship, which is traditionally tipped as one of the "big three" events in a season along with the ongoing World Championship and the Masters.
The tournament will feature 32 of the world's top professional players, plus eight Asian wild cards.
The event will be staged for the next five seasons following an agreement between World Snooker and CCTV Sports & Entertainment Co Ltd.
The host city will be confirmed shortly.
World Snooker Chairman Barry Hearn said: "We are absolutely delighted to announce this fantastic new event, alongside CCTV Sports & Entertainment Co Ltd, a great partner with vast experience in television broadcast and events."
"The International Championship will be an outstanding addition to the calendar and will take snooker into a city which has never staged a professional event before, which will help the sport continue to grow in China.
"The prize money for this event is the highest ever seen in China, and the incentive for all snooker players to climb to the top of the sport and reap the awards has never been greater.
"Last season there were two ranking events in China, next season there will be five.
"That shows the level of growth in the region and the hunger of the Chinese fans for more snooker. This tournament will really be something special."
China's top player Ding Junhui added: "It's great news for the players and the Chinese fans that we will have a new ranking tournament in China next season.
"It's another chance for our supporters there to watch the best players. I'm really excited about playing in the International Championship and I'm sure it will be a great success."

My incredible wife surprised me on my b-day with a print from a photographer I recently discovered...Chris Honeysett from San Francisco, CA. We discovered his work this year at the Brookside Art Show, and he will also be in the Plaza Art Show which is Sept, 21-23 of this year. If you have not witnessed his work before, you need to! The image I am holding just blew me away when I walked into his tent. He had this in like a 40x60 size hanging there, and I was just blown away by the simple beauty of it. It is the Golden Gate Bridge in dense fog, hence the name of the print, "Dense Fog".

Katy says: "I've recently found out that I'm pregnant. There's only one problem. Before I knew I was pregnant I went to lots of parties and clubs, and a few times I got drunk. I'm not drinking anything now, but I'm worried that the harm has already been done. Is there anything I can do?"
BabyCentre parents share their tips:
"There's nothing you can do about drinking before you knew you were pregnant. The important thing is to cut out alcohol, or be careful about how much you drink, once you know you're pregnant."
"Relax. Don't beat yourself up about what happened before you got pregnant. You're doing the right thing by giving up alcohol now."
"Life goes on whilst you are trying to conceive. From my experiences most people will have a few drinks in the first few weeks of pregnancy. Those I know who have done so have gone on to have healthy babies."
"We all know it's safest not to drink heavily during the early weeks. If you have, just try to put it behind you and move on."
"There must be thousands of woman who've done the same thing without realising they're pregnant. I think the worst thing to do is to dwell on it and worry. What's done is done."
"I found out I was pregnant the morning after a night of good company and good alcohol! I was initially freaking out about it, but my midwife assured me that there was unlikely to be a problem. She said I should just make sure I keep as healthy as I can from now on."
"It's best not to drink much alcohol during pregnancy. Just allow yourself the occasional glass. But don't worry too much about what has already happened. There's nothing you can do to change the past."
"My advice is to not stress about it. If you're really worried, have a chat to your GP or midwife. More importantly continue your healthier, alcohol-free lifestyle."
"What's important is that you are taking care of your body now. Just enjoy your pregnancy."
"Ignore scare stories about early pregnancy drinking. Just do the best you can for your baby as soon as you discover you're pregnant."
"Just concentrate on enjoying your pregnancy and feeling your little one grow inside you. It's such a special time and it passes so very quickly. Don't waste it worrying."

The over the top, anonymous Los Angeles dance-rock trio Music Go Music craft explosive and eclectic club anthems that rely heavily on the melodic late-'70s progressive pop style of bands like ABBA and ELO, while maintaining a contemporary edge reminiscent of Scissor Sisters, the New Pornographers, and Mika. The band released the critically acclaimed three-song Light of Love single in May 2008, followed by the full-length Reach Out later that August, both on the Secretly Canadian label. Expressions arrived the following year. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi

I feel bad for whoever bought or downloaded stormrise, it is so buggy it is not worth looking at I bought it cause im an idiot though
I am probably wrong but like the idea. If a heavily OC 4890 is able to compete with a 295, then the next hi end gen should be equivalent to a 295 but with only one chip. This would make an X2 offering the same as 2 295's, and X2 crossfired the same as 4 295's. ? just a thought
An OC4890 compete with two 295's in SLI?! That 4890 would have to be cooled with solid hydrogen and placed on the dark side of Pluto to have a fighting chance.
Sorry, I did not make myself clear. A current Heavily OC 4890 can compete with the current 295. Single gpu vs dual. Not beat it, just compete with it. Then the next generation chips from ATI, 5800, should be the equal to or better than the current high end dual chips,4870X2,295. From there you can use the 1=2 extrapolation. This would also apply to the new g300 chip, 1=2. I just think it is exciting that we are looking at an incredible leap in GPU power. If I can buy a card that has one chip and is as fast or faster than any two chip card, it will effectively render this current generation obsolete. This time around I am waiting for all of the cards to make it to market before buying. I am a little tired of looking at the number two spot all of the time and will stuff nvidia into my spider case if ati doesn't get it right.
Ha! I just ordered a Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 OC ver, haven't even picked it up yet and I'm already planning on selling it!!!
Here are some pics of Assasins Creed all settings maxed out Diamond 4870X2 2GB in CF. Samsung 24" LCD 244T.
Hey, would it be possible to crossfire a 4890 with one of these 5xxx cards?? Is it even possible to crossfire say a 4890 with a 4870?
You can only do crossfire with cards of the same series and core. So yes, 4890 and 4870 would be able to use Crossfire.

I just recently became a vegan, to everyone who does it for the animal rights/enviormental reasons thats cool but im sorry that stuff just doesnt really intrest me and i couldnt really care about it, however i did do it because of the health benefits. I just have a few questions:
I dont like any vegtables really except corn and lettuce, i dont like beans or peas, and i dont like tofu or soy like things (i.e. veggie burgers and things of that nature) however i do LOVE every fruit there is except tomatos and i love nuts. So im wondering if any1 has any sort of suggestions because my diet for the last 3 weeks has consisted of oatmeal with some fruit for breakfast, some fruit with some nuts like almonds or something for lunch, and eithier a bowl of rice, fruit salad, or lettuce with vinegar for dinner, and some fruit or nuts to snack on. I really wanna stay on this diet bit i dont know if im getting the correct nutrients and im also scared that ill get sick of the lack of variety in my diet and go back to non vegan because theres so much i dont like.
Basically all i ate was eggs/meat/cheese so im just wondering if theres any other people like me who dont like a lot of veggies. Ive asked vegan people i know about this and they all basically said when you get hungry enough you will learn to like veggies, but i havent "learned" to like them in the 23 years of my life so i doubt it will happen now.

Flooding fears after new estate in Settle approved (From Craven Herald)

Flooding fears after new estate in Settle approved
10:00am Friday 6th September 2013 in News By Lesley Tate, Senior Reporter
An estate of 37 new homes can be built on the outskirts of Settle after Craven councillors approved detailed plans.
Craven District Council's planning committee heard representations from angry residents who were concerned the development off Ingfield Lane could create a possible flood risk.
But the meeting heard that the scheme already had outline planning consent, given in January, 2011, and the principle of development had been established.
It was further pointed out that the scheme would not go ahead without an approved flood risk assessment and drainage strategy.
Councillors were told the Environment Agency had contacted officers after residents had raised concerns.
Although it did have some worries, it said they were not sufficient to recommend refusal and called for conditions to be put on the application.
The Skipton Properties scheme will include ten four bedroom homes, 12 three bedroom and 15 two bedroom affordable homes.
All will be two storey, a new road will access the site off Ingfield Lane, there will be 48 parking spaces on driveways, with an additional 23 in garages, and there will be an area of public open space next to the entrance.
In addition, Skipton Properties has agreed to pay £20,000 towards the provision of off-site sports facilities.
Resident Carmel Ramwell claimed that the development would have a significant impact on the ecology of Settle.
She said the area flooded and suggested "collusion" between the council and Skipton Properties.
Jay Everett, agent for Skipton Properties, said some objections had been "spurious".
He said there would be a strategy to cope with drainage and guaranteed there would be no flood risk issues connected with the site.
"There are no planning reasons to refuse this application. It delivers homes that are needed and much needed affordable housing in Settle," he said.
Coun Alan Sutcliffe (Con, Gargrave) said flood issues would be dealt with by conditions and recommended approval in line with officer's recommendations.
Coun Ken Hart (Ind, Sutton) pointed out that the scheme already had outline planning permission and added that the detailed plans were an improvement on the outline plans previously approved.

SOMETHING ELSE — in addition to a new president — was inaugurated in Washington on Jan. 20, 2009. That day, the Fojol Brothers served up their signature Indian food in the D.C. debut of food trucks. Since then, there has been an explosion of these popular mobile vendors, with lunchtime crowds lining up for everything from lobster rolls to Korean tacos. The trucks have added vitality to urban dining and neighborhoods.
The rapid growth of this industry also has created issues that require thoughtful regulation. The job of writing rules that acknowledge the legitimate concerns of traditional restaurants without stifling innovation falls to the city's Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA), which "tries to force everybody into the room . . . and find something that works for everybody," Helder Gil, legislative affairs specialist for DCRA, told The Post's Tim Carman.
That seems to have been wishful thinking. The department's draft rules, after 19 months of study, have fueled a fierce debate. "David vs. Goliath" is how food-truck fans portray the battle against the perceived clout of brick-and-mortar restaurants; the local restaurant association, in turn, professes to want not to ban food trucks but only to ensure a level playing field. The proposed regulations need D.C. Council approval to become law, which means the battle will likely intensify.

It is possible – I'm writing this post via T-Mobile and my new webConnect Rocket.
Step 0: see if your webConnect Rocket is actually the same as mine.
mike@110psi:~$ lsusb Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 002: ID 19d2:1201 ONDA Communication S.p.A. Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
If you don't have the "19d2:1201 ONDA Communication S.p.A." line, then likely you have a different version of the webConnect Rocket than I do and this guide may or may not apply.
Step 1: usb_modeswitch. This is necessary because the webConnect, like many usb dongles these days, actually has its windows (and mac?) drivers loaded directly on it. When the dongle is first inserted into a windows machine, it appears as a hard drive with its driver on it. Windows installs the driver, then magically changes the device into a modem. We need to use usb_modeswitch to do that magic change ourselves.
sudo apt-get install usb-modeswitch
As of this writing, you need to manually add the file /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/19d2:1201 with text:
# t-mobile ZTE MF691 Rocket 2 DefaultVendor= 0x19d2 DefaultProduct= 0x1201 TargetVendor= 0x19d2 TargetProduct= 0x1203 MessageContent="5553424392020000000000000000061B000000020000000000000000000000"
For more details, see this forum post and this one. Hopefully this file will be included directly in the usb-modeswitch-data package soon, but for the meantime it looks like the maintainer is currently traveling.
Now, we need to configure udev to run usb_modeswitch automatically when it sees the webConnect hard drive. Add the following lines to the file /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules:
# t-mobile ZTE MF691 Rocket 2 ATTRS{idVendor}=="19d2", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1201", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k'"
(Before you add those lines check that they haven't already been added by upstream since this writing. No need to have them in there twice.)
At this point I'd recommend a) restarting your machine and the b) inserting your webConnect Rocket. To test everything's good so far, you should be able to use minicom to connect to both /dev/ttyACM0 and /dev/ttyACM1 and issue some basic AT commands.
Step 2: I haven't been able to get network-manager to work correctly with the webConnect rocket. I get a lot of "modem-manager: Got failure code 100: Unknown error" in the logs. If you've got the time, the relevant source is here.
However, we can use wvdial and pppd to connect. If you haven't already:
sudo apt-get install wvdial pppd
You can run 'wvdailconf' as root to generate a basic /etc/wvdial.conf. Then you want to edit it to look like mine:
[Dialer Defaults] Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = USB Modem ISDN = 0 New PPPD = yes Phone = *99***1# Modem = /dev/ttyACM0 Username = user Password = pass Baud = 460800 Stupid Mode = 1
I suspect there may be other options that should be in here that would be helpful. But in any case, this is a working base case. If you find any additional helpful options, please let me know in the comments.
Step 3: Connect to T-Mobile! To connect, run
sudo wvdial
Wvdial will manage the connection process to T-Mobile, spawning an instance of pppd to maintain the connection. Once the connection is established, you can hit cntrl-c to kill the instance of wvdial while still leaving pppd alive and your connection to T-Mobile active.
To disconnect:
sudo pkill pppd
does the trick.
It'll be nice once modem-manager (and hence network-manager) has functioning support for this device. I'll update this post once it does. In the meantime… good luck!

Home > Product Reviews > Air Purifier and Humidifier Filter Reviews - Kaz > Honeywell HRF-APP1 Premium Pre-Filter Product Reviews
Honeywell Premium Odor-Reducing Pre-Filter Product ReviewsModel Number: HRF-APP1 Category: Air Purifiers Dimensions: 47 x 16 x 1 in Price: $17.99 Worth Every PennyI have been using Honeywell Premium Odor-Reducing Pre-Filters for several years. Without fail the filters ordered arrive in a tinely fashion and are free of damage. I have two 50+ dogs that spend time inside the house and the filters have consistently collected many of the "dog products" contributed by the pets. When alerted to the need to replace the pre-filter, the filter's condition demonstrates the material that collects during the use. I am always impressed and intend to continue the process of ordering and replacing the pre-filters. Great filter!I found this filter to be at a very good price! Will purchase again from this site! Thanks! Great Bedroom Air PurifierWe are loving having our new Honeywell Air Purifiers in our bedrooms. We both feel we sleep better than we used to. Having extra filters on hand is so convenient, and we were glad to find the 4-pack. Did the trick!This is the first time that I have ordered pre-filters for our air purifier. I had to order this one because the original ones are not sold anymore, I guess. I had to measure and cut it to fit, but it was easy and there is possibly enough left to use when this one is ready to be changed. Customer service at Kaz was very helpful via email! honeywell air filtergreat produce and it was delivered very promptyHoneywell Premium Odor-Reducing Pre-Filterfilter was shipped in timely manner and was just what was ordered ImpressedThe air purifier works great taking out odors and keeping the air smell fresher! I give it a 2 thumbs up. Pre Filter ReviewProduct was very easy to size and cutting was a breeze with the perforations. Fast shipping was included - Thanks Too Much WasteI have a 50250-S purifier. When I got done cutting this filter to fit, I had over 1/3 of the material left over. It is not enough for another filter, so it just has to be thrown away. What a waste of money and material. Had I known this when I bought the purifier, I would have probably bought another brand. PerfectJust like the original filter (except for some models too large, which means more than one filter per box!). ExcellentThis product lived up to my expectations. Thank you for your promptness in delivering the product. Pre-FilterWorks as designed! It was a perfect replacement for my exisiting pre-filter. You have to cut to fit however. best filterbest filter everMs.I am grateful that my order shipped immediately and was received in good condition. Also, I found that starting with no information on the item I needed, it was a very easy process to find exactly what I needed. I will definately order through this site again when I am in need. Mr.Ordered from you before. Great prices for an excellent product. Works just as described. A Plus?It's definitely crucial to replace the pre-filter on your Honeywell unit a few times a year, but I don't feel that the A-plus filter offers enough additional benefits to warrant the higher price tag. The A-Plus is marketed on the basis that it offers enhanced odor-elliminating properties, over Honeywell's other available pre-filters. Honeywell does make excellent air purifiers, but the A-plus seems a bit gimmicky to me in that it didn't create a discernible difference in the overall air quality. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad product by any stretch. It just isn't worth paying more for the A-plus, especially when you have extreme air-quality issues and need to replace it frequently. My advice: go with one of the less-expensive alternatives, and buy in bulk, so you can avoid paying separate shipping charges when you need a replacement every 3-5 months. Works Great!This item works very well, it has made a noticable improvement in reducing odor. I love it, it fit my air purifier well. I will be buying many of these in the future, it is worth the price. Pre FilterThis pre filter is WONDERFUL. We are smokers and within 1 day you coul not smell the smoke in our home. Will buy again. Well worth the price Works Just FineThe pre-filter was folded to fit into its box, but once smoothed out it was easy to cut to size. I used a scissors but think I could just have torn it (carefully) along the perforations. The two strips were easy to apply and worked well to keep the pre-filter snug around my air purifier. So good to have this Honeywell air purifier up and running with the new re-filter - it does get rid of cigarette smoke that blows in under the door to my apartment and eliminates cooking smells too. The only reason for giving only 4 stars is the wrinkles caused by folding - somewhat difficult to smooth out before cutting and a bit more care is required to wrap snugly around the HEPA filter. Product works well - atthough it is a bit pricy & there is wasteProduct does work very well. Product does fit well, but is a universal size so there is wasted material that you are paying for. |

Gus Van Sant : A Tribute
By a customer from London , 22 Aug 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Right, I just wrote a 500 word review, posted it and the the hotmail link just expired, so i'm fuming right now. I can't really be bothered to pepper this review with funny anecdotes and quirky history lessons but let me just say, the film's pretty damn good. You probably know it's about drugs, but it's really not. It's about Matt Dillon being the coolest cat of the 80's in this wonderfully moving film about a druggie and his pals. And unlike Elephant it's not cold or distant, or seeped in sentimentality like Good Will Hunting, here it's pure unfettered emotion. Our 'hero' goes on a journey and in a sense so do we. This isn't a one note film nor does it glamourise the drug scene, it's darkly funny and very moving and for once, you give a crap about the characters and their lives without the need for special effects, ticking time bombs and car chases (not that there's anything wrong with that). Matt Dillon is simply sublime as Bob and so is his supporting cast, Van Sant is famous for directing so called 'pretty boys' and here he commands with considerable flair. I'm not one to rave about a film, but this one's pretty damn good. Catch it...but watch out for the hat.- Was this review helpful to you?

If humans adjectives disappeared, could rats digit out how to operate the machinery of civilization?
Nope! They lack opposable thumbs.
No. The only way they use machines is by a system or rewards and punishments. short that, they couldn't figure out what does what. Maybe a chimpanzee could operate simple machinery. It's about as intelligent as a five or six year ancient.
yes u could
They're rats... So... Probably not. :/ Source(s): Common sense?
i dont think they would need to use the machinery incentive they would have all the shelter and food they could possiably necessitate.
