Yep! I see there are plenty around here with them so lets play around with them, theoretically theres no reason why any XL (weather it be R423 or R430) can't run as a R480 core for starters, thus using the R480 driver path, giving a performance boost, again in theory. Aside from this, theoretically an R423\R430 core has more potential for OCs because of its smaller micron process (.9 vs .11) of course, to test this particular theory it would take somebody with vmodding equipment and a XL, or somebody who wants vmods done to their XL and somebody with vmodding equipment. As most will probably be aware, the XL cores are nutorious for using low voltage (1.28v - 1.35v roughly) not only does the core theoretically hold more potential, it will also generate less heat (again all theory but well within reason given specification) and the cores have shown good resillience to voltages (up to say 1.52\1.55v on good 3rd party cooler, and possibly up to 1.7v on water) So whos game for trying this out? I'm already making some BIOS changes, just need someone whos willing to do vmods, I would, but I got rid of my equipment some time ago thinking I'd never want to vmod again, ho-hum. I'll post the BIOS I'm doing when I've tested it on my own XL so we know it won't blow any cards up.
you know, I really dont think I'm in the mood for voltmods...especially when I spent the extra cash for an X850XT
I think that x800xl has only R430 core and without voltmod and wather cooling you can get near the R423 or 480 speed.
i have an X850 series as well, so what? whole reason i bought an XL was to investigate things others were either too lazy or unwilling to do.
X800XL uses only R430 (110nm), never R423 (130nm). R480 is also 130nm. The fact that R430 and R480 share the same architechture doesn't mean they behave the same. Secret behind R480 is the special high performance fabrication process (nicknamed Black Pearl) and quality silicon. The process behind R430 is a budjet solution meant to make the chip effective but with the lowest fab costs possible.
as i said, its all theoretical, it doesnt mean anything is less capable though given a level playing feild
You are wrong from the begining because R423 and R430 are very different. R423 is the high end chip based on 0.13 micron Low-K manufacturing process and it can be clocked at 540+ Mhz. R430 is the same chip but built with idea to be the Low-end line of the X800's (with the same architecture) but based on 0.11 micron manufacturing process (no Low-K dielectric) which is cheaper but the speeds are far more lower than on R423. (Max. 450MHz)
thats what im primarily talking about, architecture is fundamentally the same, fair enough i got the k processes wrong, but with the amount i have to store in my brain im allowed to let some things blur into one

Earthquakes are natural phenomena that cause the ground to shake violently, triggering landslides, tsunamis, floods and widespread destruction to lives and properties. Geology is the science which deals with the study of why, how, and where earthquakes occur. On the other hand, earthquake engineering is the filed of study dealing with the characteristics of the earthquake ground motion and its effects on engineered structures.
Aside from rain, snow, wind, and gravity loads, the design of prefabricated metal buildings are also affected by seismic or earthquake loads. Earthquakes can cause serious damage if not total collapse of man-made structures. Applicable building codes are constantly updated as more knowledge is gained about seismic action and its effect on the structural integrity of prefabricated metal buildings.
There are specific areas that are highly seismic or earthquake prone. Prefabricated metal structures located in these regions must be designed to deflect and resist the effects of earthquakes.
From the designer's point of view, earthquake load differs from other loads in many respects since there are many uncertainties involved with its amplitude, duration, and frequency content. Earthquake ground motion can be vertical, horizontal or a combination of both. Since all prefabricated metal buildings are designed to withstand gravity loads, the lateral loads arising from a horizontal ground motion should be considered to prevent severe damage to the structures.
Sometimes, earthquake ground motions are cyclic and induces the reversal of stresses. Because of this, the axially load members of prefabricated metal buildings will have to be designed to resist both tension and compression while beam cross-sections will have to resist not only positive but also negative bending moments.
One important factor that affects the intensity of the seismic action on prefabricated metal buildings is the type of soil where the structure is located. Some particular ground characteristics magnify seismic shock effects.

I would not call that a bug; most probably they decided that improved float3 fetching/storing speed (16 bytes can be transferred using the single instruction and properly coalesced, as opposed to 12 bytes) is worth increased storage space. If you were using "new float3[...]" to allocate buffer, it would pass unnoticed, but when you allocated memory in Python, you bumped into this design decision. Best regards, Bogdan

"Peace, Love, and Misunderstanding -Ends 6/21"
Friday, June 8, 2012 - Thursday, June 21, 2012
Director Bruce Beresford brings Jane Fonda back to the screen in this comedy-drama about a mother and daughter who have precious little in common. Diane (Catherine Keener) is a straight-laced Republican lawyer who lives in Manhattan with her teenage children Zoe (Elizabeth Olsen) and Jake (Nat Wolff). However, Diane's marriage to Mark (Kyle MacLachlan) has fallen apart, and after receiving the final divorce papers, she needs to get out of the city for a while. Diane and her kids head to upstate New York, where she's decided it's time they met her mother Grace (Jane Fonda). Unlike her daughter, Grace was and is a proud hippie, the unofficial leader of the town's countercultural community who supports herself by selling marijuana. Grace and Diane haven't spoken for nearly twenty years, and just as Grace hasn't changed a bit over the years, Diane hasn't found a way to forgive her for her failings as a parent. As mother and daughter get reacquainted, Zoe has her head turned by Cole (Chace Crawford), even though he's a butcher and she doesn't eat meat, and Jake falls for Tara (Marissa O'Donnell), who he meets at a coffee shop. And as Diane searches for common ground with Grace, she also finds time to be romanced by local musician Jude (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding received its world premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Rebecca is a wonderful artist and I could not resist getting one of her prairie paintings (I could have bought all of them...) This mommy and baby just melted my heart. Rebecca was kind enough to ship it to me and it arrived yesterday. I had just the perfect spot for it in my guest house. Thank you Rebecca!!
The book page garland you see over the door is from another dear friend POLLY HOOD. I had this one hanging on another window of the guest house before but moved it when I repalced the bed.

Mooneyham: Outrage missing in UNC scandal, Davis should be fired
FINALLY! Some common sense and opinion from some guy named Scott Mooneyham.
Welcome to the big time, Mr. Mooneyham. Please be prepared for private and public lynchings by the members of the secret society we have named, 'The Flagship'. It is kind of like going up against 'The Firm'. The last guy who spoke out against Carolina got this. Still no word on Joe Mavretic's recent whereabouts, either.
Mooneyham's column is quick and concise, but at the same time complete. It MUST be read in its entirety.
Some select passages are included below:
The basic facts leave little doubt that what's occurred is the worst college sports scandal to hit a UNC system school campus since a basketball point-shaving scandal of the early 1960s.
The response from some the school's supporters seems to be that this kind of thing happens everywhere.
Really? I'm not aware of any athletic department tutors at other schools accused of wrongdoing who coincidentally were employed by the head football coach.
But in Chapel Hill, there's no outrage to be seen.
Athletic Director Dick Baddour. He says the school's internal review aims to "protect the integrity of the university.â€
Does he mean the integrity that's already disappeared on his watch, or any remaining integrity that slips away with each passing day that Butch Davis remains head football coach?
The school's chancellor, Holden Thorpe, should fire Davis and Baddour. If he won't, he should be fired.
There's no reason to wait. None of the details, playing out day-by-day in the newspapers and on the Internet, are going to mitigate the fact that Davis and Baddour allowed the worst sports scandal in five decades to occur on their watch.
It's not just the Carolina Way; it's the only way.
54 Responses to "Mooneyham: Outrage missing in UNC scandal, Davis should be fired"
It should be noted that this fellow may have a reason for writing this article this week, given UNC's next opponent is from Greenville… Whatever his inspiration is, his thoughts are correct. It starts small (usually from folks like Gregg Troll), but the calls for blood over in Chapel Hill will only get louder. Especially if they start winning games again.
A side note but for whatever reason, this whole thing makes me think of Judas Priests' cover of The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown).
^ I don't feel a bit of pity for any of them. With as much hell as they've given us over the years, there is no conceivable reason to feel a thing but satisfaction.
What we would see from an ordinary institution would be that all those allegedly involved would be suspended pending the investigation, whereby the suspended individuals would either resign or be fired as incriminating evidence comes to light. I think the UNC administration thought they could contain the damage at first, so they offered support to Butch Davis and Friends. Now that this has gotten bigger and bigger, they are caught in a no-win. If they roll on Davis, he gives up the basketball program. If they keep him, they get condemned by the public. The dye, as they say, has been cast and they have to play the "protect the UNC family" game now.
They were either extremely arrogant in their initial approach or they have an ace in the hole that none of us know about.
FINALLY! Some common sense and opinion from some guy named Scott Mooneyham.
Scott Mooneyham was born in Raleigh and grew up in Wake and Durham counties. He is a graduate of N.C. State University, with bachelor's degrees in English and political science. He began his journalism career at the Goldsboro News-Argus, then worked for the Fayetteville Observer before spending eight years at The Associated Press. At AP, he covered state politics and the legislature for six years. In 2004, Scott left the AP to become editor of The Insider State Government News Service (owned by the Raleigh News and Observer). Surprised no one had heard of him.

September 1, 2007 Meteorologists have developed a new method for analyzing hurricane strength. A series of mathematical formulas transform data from Doppler radars into a 3-D picture of storm intensity every 6 minutes. Because of the rapid updates, the technique increases meteorologists' ability to capture sudden, dangerous changes in hurricanes.
See also:
- Doppler radar
- Meteorological history of Hurricane Katrina
- Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale
- List of Category 5 Pacific hurricanes
The strongest hurricane to hit the U.S. in more than a decade -- killing ten people -- causing thirteen-billion dollars in damage. Its arrival was expected. Its intensity: an absolute surprise.
We are in the middle of hurricane season again and meteorologists are rushing to test a new way to track a storm's intensity. Scientists now know, as hurricane Charlie approached Florida three years ago, Floridians were preparing for the storm with obsolete information.
Charlie landed with 25-percent more intensity than predicted. It's a scenario that could forever be avoided with a new tracking system.
'[Hurricane Charlie] rapidly intensified from category two to category four in roughly three hours,' said Wen-Chau Lee, NCAR meteorologist.
If only meteorologists knew then what they know now. Now, meteorologists at the national center for atmospheric research have a new software tool called "VORTRAC." It slices through approaching hurricanes to reveal a three-dimensional view of the storm and just how intense it will be. The result looks a lot like the layers of a sliced onion.
'When you cut an onion in half you see different rings. Basically what we do, we dissect a hurricane into different rings,' Lee said.
VORTRAC combines wind measurements from the Doppler radar closest to the eye of the storm with existing hurricane data to show a 3-D view of the wind. Lee said he looks forward to putting his tracking system to the test in the U.S. when the next hurricane heads our way.
Because of the limited range of Doppler radars, VORTRAC works only for hurricanes within about 120 miles of land. But that could help monitor the critical 10 to 15 hours before landfall. The National Hurricane Center is testing the system currently and expects it to be ready for use in about two years.
BACKGROUND: Forecasters are testing a new technique called VORTRAC -- Vortex Objective Radar Tracking and Circulation -- that provides a detailed 3D view of an approaching hurricane every six minutes and allows them to determine whether the storm is gathering strength as it nears land. Then they can quickly alert coastal communities if it suddenly strengthens.
HOW IT WORKS: Developed by researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the technique relies on the existing network of Doppler radars along the southeast coast to closely monitor hurricanes winds. Each radar can measure winds blowing toward or away from it, but no single radar could provide a 3D picture of hurricane winds until now. The NCAR scientists developed a series of mathematical formulas that combine data from a single radar near the center of a landfalling storm with general knowledge of Atlantic hurricane structure in order to map the approaching system's winds in three dimensions. The technique also infers the barometric pressure in the eye of the hurricane, a very reliable index of its strength. However, because of the limited range of Doppler radars, VORTRAC works only for hurricanes that are within about 120 miles of land. In the future, it might be possible to use VORTRAC to help improve long-range hurricane forecasts by using data from airborne radars to glean detailed information about a hurricane that is far out to sea.
ABOUT HURRICANES: A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone, a low-pressure system that usually forms in the tropics and has winds that circulate counterclockwise near the earth's surface. Storms are considered hurricanes when their wind speeds surpass 74 MPH. Every hurricane arises from the combination of warm water and moist warm air. Tropical thunderstorms drift out over warm ocean waters and encounter winds coming in from near the equator. Warm, moist air from the ocean surface rises rapidly, encounters cooler air, and condensed into water vapor to form storm clouds, releasing heat in the process. This heat causes the condensation process to continue, so that more and more warm moist air is drawn into the developing storm, creating a wind pattern that spirals around the relatively calm center, or eye, of the storm, much like water swirling down a drain. The winds keep circling and accelerating to form a classic cyclone pattern.
WHAT IS DOPPLER RADAR: Doppler radar uses a well-known effect of light called the Doppler shift. Just as a train whistle will sound higher as it approaches a platform and then become lower in pitch as it moves away, light emitted by a moving object is perceived to increase in frequency (a blue shift) if it is moving toward the observer; if the object is moving away from us, it will be shifted toward the red end of the spectrum. Doppler radar sends out radio waves that bounce off objects in the air, such as raindrops or snow crystals, and then measures how much the frequency changes in returning radio waves to better determine wind direction and speed.

Covering reconstruction of the I-71/670 interchange, inch by inch
The Columbus Dispatch - March 26, 2012 12:23 PM
If you don't know your Groveport from your Grove City or your Perry from your Prairie, help is on the way.
Franklin County Engineer Dean Ringle tells us that the new county roadmaps and atlases are now available. The maps are free and can be picked up at local and county government offices. The atlas -- the map in book form -- costs $1.
County maps last were updated in 2009, and Ringle says there are 1,250 changes in the new version. County surveyors have mapped more than 1,200 streets and more than 1,000 points of interest such as schools and airports.
The new maps also include smart-phone codes that can get you quickly to both Ringle's website and ODOT's website for the I-71/670 reconstruction project.

New Internal Revenue Service numbers show that 91 percent of individual tax returns filed this year by taxpayers doing their own work or using a preparer were filed electronically. That's 122.5 million returns.

A new U.S. tuner plans to launch its operation with a highly modified BMW M6 Coupe (F13) tuning program, on the M6 which they've called the Risden 6R.
The Risden 6R M6 coupe features a functional aero kit, the most prominent part of which is the double rear trunk spoilers – one is the fixed duck tail CSL style spoiler, while the other is a retractable spoiler, deployed when needed to improve downforce and stability.
The 6R is also said to feature a fully adjustable suspension system, rollcage, and stripped down interior. The overall goal is to reduce the car's weight, while adding a stiffer chassis/suspension and increasing power output.
So, it appears that the Risden 6R has been designed for track use and not just for … CONTINUED
BimmerWorld has started a build journal documenting the preparation of their V8 project M3 race car. They have gathered a lot of information and continue to do so.
Via JamesClay, BimmerWorld Team owner:
Red Line Oil has partnered with us on this project because they love the BMW marque almost as much as we do, and because they are also car guys who enjoy building something and running it around a track as more than something to slap a decal on.

Several frozen (matte) painted BMWs were recently on display at the BMW owned dealership in Munich, Germany. Seen by one of our members was a Frozen Red M6 coupe, Frozen Broze M5, and Frozen Blue M5.
Have a look inside.
M5POST member and F10 M5 owner noxredna shares with us his experience so far from living with the M5 on the street and at the track.
We've put together some renders of what the BMW M4 Coupe (F82) may look like, starting with the 4 Series Coupe Coupe and incorporating what the M3/M4 prototype spy photos and videos have revealed so far, along with some speculation/imagination.
We've given the M4 the 1M+M6 style front bumper spied on the F80 M3 prototypes, but the M4 bumper will likely look somewhat different. We've also incorporated the M sideskirts, wide fenders and hood bulge spied in the prototype photos. It may also get double slatted grilles with M4 badge and a shaped carbon fiber roof, both like on the M6 Coupe.

To recap, here is an updated list of what we know about the F80/F82 so far:

We've always projected that the successor to the current M3 coupe would be called the M4 coupe, to reflect the fact that the 4 Series coupe was coming. Now, not only has the 4 Series been revealed and confirmed, but Car and Driver claims that BMW has confirmed the switch to the BMW M4 badge for the coupe version of the next M3.
The M4 coupe is designated as the F82 and the M3 sedan as the F80.
Here's a rough render of the upcoming BMW M4 Coupe (F82) based on the revealed F32 4 Series Coupe Concept and incorporating bumper from the M6, hood bump from the current M3, side gill from the 1M, and more aggressive sideskirts.

Dillon Gee should not be a trade piece.
Featured Post: Dillon Gee Has Pitched His Way Into An Exclusive Club
Prior to his start on May 30 against the Yankees, Dillon Gee was on the verge of losing his place in the starting rotation. The Texas native was 2-6 with a 6.34 ERA and was hearing Zack Wheeler's footsteps as the über-prospect was just weeks away from being called up for his first taste of big league action.
But everything changed for Gee with that late-May start at Yankee Stadium. Gee pitched into the eighth inning, allowing one run on four hits. He also set a career high by striking out 12 batters without issuing a walk.
After allowing four runs or more in six of his first ten starts, Gee has allowed two runs or less in 14 of his last 21 starts. His 2-6 record is now just a bad memory, as Gee is leading the team with 12 victories. Since Matt Harvey's season ended with nine wins and no other pitcher on the Mets has more than seven, it's safe to assume that Gee will remain the team leader in pitching victories. Therefore, the 2013 campaign will mark the second time in three seasons that Gee has led the team in wins, after finishing first on the Mets with 13 victories in 2011.
In doing so, Gee will become only the 14th pitcher in team history to lead the team or finish tied for the team lead in pitching victories multiple times. The chart below lists the 14 pitchers who have accomplished this feat.

With 33 major league victories under his belt, Dillon Gee has the second-fewest wins of the 14 pitchers who led the team in wins in at least two seasons. (Nino Espinosa had 25 wins as a Met.) But there are 30 pitchers in Mets history with more wins than Gee and most of them never led the team in wins more than once. In fact, two of the top ten winners in franchise history never became two-time team leaders in wins.
Ron Darling had 99 wins as a Met – 4th all-time – but only led the team in wins once. And when he did so (1989), he shared the team lead with David Cone and Sid Fernandez. Similarly, Jon Matlack recorded 82 victories for the Mets – 7th all-time – but never led the team in wins. (He can thank Seaver and Koosman for that.)
Tom Seaver. Jerry Koosman. Dwight Gooden. Sid Fernandez. David Cone. Johan Santana. Those are some of the best pitchers who have ever taken the mound for the Mets over their 50-plus years of existence. In addition to being six of the finest pitchers to wear the orange and blue, they also have another thing in common. All six have led or tied for the team lead in wins multiple times. Their exclusive club now has a new member, and his name is Dillon Gee.
Dillon Gee has come a long way to become a top starter for the Mets. He was overlooked in the first twenty rounds of the 2007 amateur draft before the Mets selected him in Round 21. After pitching well in the lower levels of the minor leagues, Gee had an ERA near 5.00 at AAA-Buffalo. But he never gave up hope. And now he's accomplished something that Seaver, Koosman, Gooden, Fernandez, Cone, Santana and a small group of others have done. Not bad for a pitcher who almost lost his spot in the rotation just four months ago.

Ed Leyro was hatched in the Bronx, but spent most of his youth in Queens at Shea Stadium. Apparently, all that time spent at Mets games paid off as Ed met his wife (The Coop) for the first time at Citi Field during its inaugural season. Guess the 2009 season was good for something after all. In addition to his work at Mets Merized Online, Ed also owns, operates and is head janitor at Studious Metsimus, where he shares blogging duties with Joey Beartran. For those not in the know, Joey is a teddy bear dressed in a Mets hoodie. Clearly, Studious Metsimus is not your typical Mets blog.

Agreed. He is one of the best back end starters in baseball.
i agree in that i don't want to trade Gee either, nor Niese nor Wheeler nor Murphy, nor Montero (Syndergaard, to me, is just of the table) but IF we plan to net our big stud OFer–the only way is through a trade since besides Ellsbury and maybe Choo, and currently, Hunter Pence, there's nobody available with much bop. And Ellsbury, a great CFer and pitcher nerve-wrecker is oft-injured; Choo is peaking and not worth the multi-year, mega-millions contract he'll get by some brainwashed GM or owner.
The sole way to get a major power OF piece is through trade (CarGo, Stanton) and would cost either a Gee, Niese, Wheeler, Montero, Syndergaard ++ for CarGo and +++ for Stanton.
Other trade possibiities, like Ethier or Carl Crawford are getting older and have likely peaked or are peaking. Matt Kemp is interesting, but i doubt the Dodgers would trade him.
Also, 2 older Dodger prospects, Scott Va Slyke and Alex Castellanos, look interesting, but i don't know if they're available.
The point is, IF we want to upgrade significantly through trade for an OFer or for a Tulo, it'll cost plenty.
Which is why i keep hammering away for Abreu.-
It is very important that the Mets try and sign Abreu this off season. If we are forced into trades to get the hitter (s) we desperately need we are going to lose some serious pitching depth that has dwindled in the past 60 days. I don't see how we could consider trading either of the last 2 serious starting pitching prospects we have in AAA. Signing Abreu costs us nothing other then cash. He is going to command a 5 year, 10 -12 million per year deal for sure. The question is whether Sandy has the $$$$ to spend or not and just how far he will go.
Trade wise we have plenty of guys who could use a change of scenery and if they are packaged correctly could get us a hitter but it will take a pitcher of some success to make a deal.
Today's victory brought to you by the letter "G"ee, and by the number 5 (as in # of runs which was the "Wright" amount for the win!) Sesame Street, Mets style!
Always like Gee, going back to when they first called him up. I don't think the Mets viewed him as anything more than a 6th type starter. Gee proved everyone wrong. Just goes to show that sometimes you can pick ul what will be future ML talent in the, ater rounds.
Kudos to Gee for working hard and believing in himself.
I admired Gee too from the very beginning. He was the antithesis of the over hyped Pelfrey. Gee does not get rattled and in a key pressure situation more likely than not will persevere and get the out.
Dillion Gee has 16 Quality Starts (QS) out of 31 games started. That is with his poor performance at the start of the season.
"Dillon Gee . . . was overlooked in the first twenty rounds of the 2007 amateur draft before the Mets selected him in Round 21."
What a crap shoot the draft is once the first few rounds are selected. Some guys picked early never make it. But some late picks wind up as stars. Here are some examples:Albert Pujols – 1999 — 13th round by the St. Louis Cardinals
Mike Piazza – 1988 — 62nd round by the Los Angeles Dodgers
Roy Oswalt – 1996 — 23rd round by the Houston Astros
Keith Hernandez – 1971 — 42nd round by the St. Louis Cardinals
Jeff Kent – 1989 — 20th round by the Toronto Blue Jays
Don Mattingly – 1979 — 19th round by the New York Yankees
John Smoltz – 1985 — 22nd round by the Detroit Tigers
Jermaine Dye – 1993 — 17th round by the Atlanta Braves -
I have liked Dillon Gee and see him as a core element in the rotation. He has been underappreciated by this organization. It is time that they start to see to value which he brings to this pitching staff. This FO is too ready to pin labels on players and be blind to their development as players. Dillon Gee had some rough spots early his career under Collins. I'm not sure that even today Collins is aware that Gee has moved up to a higher level and is capable of consistent quality pitching efforts. We need to continue valuing and encouraging players of the caliber of Dillon Gee. To do that, I believe the most proactive action that this organization could take would be to replace the manager.
Quite the accomplishment for the pitcher with the label of number five starter. I didn't realize he led the team in wins in 2011 too. He easily could have 16 wins this season as he's gotten some no-decisions in which he pitched well including the start before this recent victory.
With all the Power Pitchers we have in the rotation and in the wings…
It is VITAL that we hold onto Gee as the Change of Pace Pitcher in our rotation.Making him the #3 Starter after Wheeler and Harvey will help make guys like Mejia and Montero look better when they pitch after him.
I see nothing wrong with these possible rotations:
Harvey (if healthy)
Mejia/Montero/DeGromWithout Harvey.
Montero/DeGromYou bring back Torres to back up any starter that gets hurt along with DeGrom.
The rest of the team may or may not be competitive but with either of those rotations Mets fans have at least a reason to watch the games.
Any club with Steve Trachsel in it is not exclusive.
But I do agree with the theme of the post. Gee is good.
Always liked Gee, love to see him keep batters off balance, hitting his pitch.
He just needs to pitch between two hard throwers going into any series to change batters approach.

After two decades with a ban on the books, the Federal Communications Commission is set to consider allowing transmitting mobile devices on aircraft. On Thursday, the FCC will vote on whether or not it will begin allowing transmitting mobile devices in flight. The European Commission recently approved 3G and 4G transmissions aboard commercial flights with some limitations and leaving the decision to permit voice communications up to individual airlines. Recent research has found that there is little risk of aircraft instrument interference from passengers' portable electronic devices, which led the Federal Aviation Administration to recently end its prohibition on use of non-transmitting devices below 10,000 feet.
Airlines can still decide individually if portable electronic devices are allowed during all flight phases, but most if not all will soon permit their customers to use their devices in airplane mode gate to gate. The airlines would have the same discretion to permit or prohibit transmitting mobile devices if the FCC decides to reform its current policy. Some airlines may wish to allow their customers to engage in voice communications during flight, others may not.
But some in Congress wish to outlaw this choice. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., who chairs the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, is set to introduce a bill that would "prohibit an individual on an aircraft from engaging in voice communications using a mobile communications device during a flight of that aircraft in scheduled passenger interstate or intra-state air transportation."
"For passengers, being able to use their phones and tablets to get online or send text messages is a useful in-flight option. But if passengers are going to be forced to listen to the gossip in the aisle seat, it's going to make for a very long flight," Shuster said in a statement. "For those few hours in the air with 150 other people, it's just common sense that we all keep our personal lives to ourselves and stay off the phone."
Another Republican, Lamar Alexander, Tenn., is considering whether or not to introduce a similar bill in the Senate. "Stop and think about what we hear now in airport lobbies from those who wander around shouting personal details into a microphone: babbling about last night's love life, bathroom plans, next week's schedule, orders to an assistant, arguments with spouses," Alexander said in a November statement. "Imagine this noise while you travel, restrained by your seatbelt, unable to escape."
According to the Red Team/Blue Team media narrative, the Republicans are supposedly skeptical of regulation while the Democrats enthusiastically embrace it. Yet here we have a proposed arbitrary political intervention coming from these supposed skeptics on Team Red — who have charted out a more pro-regulatory course than European socialists.

Back in 2009 my daughter, Gabriela started attending preschool. We were embarking on a whole new stage and everyday I was riddled with questions…"will she play well with others…will she bite other kids…are they feeding her…will she make friends?" The one questions I never really considered, "will I make new friends?"
This stage I reached was going to be the start of play dates. We want our kids to be social, learn how to behave properly with others and we as parents need to know these kids because eventually they will grow up together. We sometimes forget that this also means we need to meet and foster some type of interaction with the parents.
Remember that awkward feeling first day of school in the lunch room and you don't see any recognizable face? You are anxious, sweaty and you just hope you don't say any dumb sh*t? Yeah this was me the first year at preschool. We didn't have any play dates that year or even the next year when she turned three. The real action for us is when she turned four and she started getting birthday party invitations.
I treated these birthday parties almost like a work cocktail party – you don't want to embarrass yourself, you want to come off as bright, witty but not annoying and there's no alcohol, well sometimes. When I did find myself at parties where it was beer optional, I really had to contain myself because I knew that the more relaxed I got, the more sh*t I would talk – again just like at a work cocktail party.
It was awesome because I was starting to cultivate relationships with other moms and dads. This was the gateway to play dates, well so I thought. I remembered to always look at a parent in the eye, shake a hand and say my name. To remember their name, I would say "Nice to meet you (insert parent's name here)!" I don't mean to toot my own horn but I'm pretty good remembering names and one of my short-comings is that I expect others to remember names as well as I do. My husband really burst my bubble because he sucks with names, I constantly have to remind him who's who and then it happened.
I was called "GABI'S MOM" I was no longer Alexis. No longer myself but someone's mom. It just really bothered me. I try so hard to remember other's names and all of the sudden I'm just someone's mom.
But wait, I am someone's mom. One of my friends' also had kids in this preschool and told me that it's nothing and that's just what happens. She also has two kids as do some of the other parents. I was still a relatively new mom learning my way. Honestly, it took me a long time to get over this. I lost my identity. I was just viewed as someone's caretaker. Yes, I love my daughter and I"m proud to be her mother but I thought people saw me first. I remember even trying to reintroduce myself to certain parents only to be disappointed when I heard the pause after they would say hello to Gabi and then to me. I'd see it in their faces – after the fifth time I told them my name they still didn't know who I was.
I tend to take things a little too personal. That's what was happening here – if the parents forgot who I was then my daughter would get left behind on the pony birthday party circuits. This stayed with me for a few months but then I slowly started to make friends.
It began when I got closer to a mom that I actually casually knew from an infant swim class. Her son also attended the same preschool. She was also really good with names. The more she said my name around other parents, they learned my name and we all got closer to one another, in fact our kids also go to the same elementary school. It was a great time. I finally came to my senses and learned to let go of my silly selfish feelings. It doesn't matter if they remember my name, as long as they know who my daughter is, is all that really mattered. I won't lie, name recognition is a bonus.
Then I heard the familiar phrase uttered by another mother, "My name is Karen, not Jay's mom!"* I turned around smiled and wanted to hugged her because I felt her frustration. We exchanged stories and we didn't forget each others names.
Twelve very short months later, we are starting a new journey – Kindergarten.
I am going through the same wave of emotions…will she get along with the other kids…will she get bullied…will she pay attention in class…will she like school. And yes I become over come with my own anxieties – will I get along with the other parents? Will I make new friends, too?
Back in our day, our parents didn't really know the other parents and they kept it that way. It was a way to keep your business to yourselves. Now we have play dates, soccer or dance classes together, we may even eventually vacation together. We welcome these type of relationships because we want to know the company our child keeps. Yes, being known does put me in a little spotlight but if it means other people looking out for my kid when I need help then I will put myself on full blast. Also, you will know the kids your child plays with and more than likely will be able to spot the possible trouble they may get into. Plus, you will have great blackmail info and the photos to support the info if you should ever decide to embarrass your kid and their friends!
If you are a shy person or you really feel that you don't need any new friends that's understandable. But you might benefit from accepting those birthday party or play date invitations. You might not be looking to make a new BFF but you could be adding someone into your support system for those emergency moments. Also, you are setting an example to your child on how to make friends. If you step out of your comfort zone to be friendly then it can also encourage a shy child to mimic your actions.
However, you can only do so much. I remember coordinating a tea party at my house. My daughter invited about seven of her close friends. Moms and a dad showed up – we learned more about each other and we all had a blast. By the end of the party we all agreed that we should take turns to host a mass play date party like this, maybe not a tea party but at least we were going to try to get our girls together.
Sadly, that was the first and last party. I learned that you can't push people. We are all busy and there isn't always enough time in the day. And also, I accepted that maybe nobody else was willing to put in the effort I did. That's okay because we have our close knit friends. I know that even though my daughter may not attend the same school with most of these kids – we'll still see each other around since we live in relatively small neighboring towns.
And we'll always remember each others' names.

very bad experience
I had a very bad experience at the hands of this veterinary practise, the information I received back after my complaint was barbaric and callous about my beloved dog Ceaser. Awful place

bad service
I found this practise very bad to deal with, the vet seemed to be suggesting too many tests which I felt were unnecessary, I felt she did not have my dogs best interests and health in mind

Top Ten Philadelphia Sports Headlines Of 2013
2013 was an up and down year in Philadelphia sports, to say the least. The first half was full of "downs," including coaching changes for every professional team, and losses upon losses as well.

Spike Eskin: The Trade Value Of Turner, Hawes, Is About More Than Play Alone

[SOLVED] (convert: Zero sigma not permitted)

Posted: Mon, 2009-10-26 15:13 |
Hello, I have got a problem generating thumbs again... But I think it's new one. Generally thumbnailgeneration works, but a few images an not resized, instead the full size image is used as thumb. It fails only for a small number of totally "normal" images. There no special chars or brackets in the name, the pictures big, but not of huge size (about 5 to 6 mb). They are in so special album, or wuteva. Thumbnail generation just seems to fail "randomly". In the apache error log there are several errors like the following: convert: Zero sigma not permitted `/usr/www/users/gallery3/var/thumbs/<Albumname>/<SubAlbumName>/k2img--5eab36213976959a23a70e308a86a3292862d1f5.jpg'. But I don't know what that means O.o I already tried to increase the memory_limit of php up to 1GB now, but that didn't help and I also tried to switch to GraphicsMagic, instead of ImageMagick, but still some thumbnails are not generated. With GraphicsMagic, there a no errors in the log file. All pictures are of the same format, even made with the same camera, but still most of them work and some others don't. Strange! Any idea on that? Thank you! Edit1: I changed the title of this thread to a more specific one |

Yes of course random issues are hard, but at least I wanted to let you know somehow. Also I cannot send you an image, because it does not happen to specific images only. Even if I download and reupload the same file, the error does not occur. I also found another warning in the apache log i didn't see before: Quote:
[ Thu Oct 29 10:37:37 2009 ] [ warn ] [ client 127.0.0.1 ] FastCGI: scheduled the start of the last (dynamic) server "/home/httpd/cgi-bin/php5-fcgi-starter.fcgi" process: reached dynamicMaxClassProcs (10) (in: /usr/www/users/gallery3) According to a quick google search this has got to do with the maximum number of concurrent php calls. Does gallery use some heavy parallelization here when creating thumbs? maybe that is somehow related to the problem... |

Solved! It seems that the problem was caused by some kind of process monitoring / ids of the host server that decided to kill the ImageMagick processes. I'm not sure why, but maybe it took the high number of processes for a DoS attack. The hoster disabled that system. Now it works. So it is not directly a problem of gallery3, but might happen to other users in future as well. |

Hi, I get the same error messages, but thumbnails and resized photos look good. ==> /var/log/apache2/error_log <== convert: Zero sigma not permitted `/...../gallery/var/thumbs/..../k2img--577f773d440e613e8f9711d727f7180081503a4b.jpg'. convert: Zero sigma not permitted `/...../gallery/var/resizes/..../k2img--d754c81a4bff05881802a8e8f09cfb488d92ab6d.jpg'. The apache error log lists this error for ALL images that I add using either Server Add or directly. I've uploaded more than 5000 jpg images from 16 different photographers (some photos postprocessed, some not), so it's unlikely that it has anything to do with the files. $ convert -h Version: ImageMagick 6.2.4 07/28/09 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org Is there a way to see the command line arguments for the convert command? Then I could debug a little more. Thanks, |

I do have the same problem, with every picture I upload, using the Imagick library. It's with the following command: /usr/bin/convert -background transparent -flatten -unsharp '1x0,5+0,59+0' 'MYDOCUMENTROOT/var/resizes/test/k2img--f1ae04b396e3bf86bd8ee39d3bc2a62c32e8d689.jpg' 'MYDOCUMENTROOT/var/resizes/test/k2img--f1ae04b396e3bf86bd8ee39d3bc2a62c32e8d689.jpg' Which gives the result: convert: Zero sigma not permitted `MYDOCUMENTROOT/var/resizes/test/k2img--f1ae04b396e3bf86bd8ee39d3bc2a62c32e8d689.jpg'. The pictures do get uploaded correctly, but for beginning users, It's not handy to get an error message. I guess the problem in here is the locale settings, because I use nl_NL, which uses the comma (,) as decimal seperator. I've changed the sharpen function in system/libraries/drivers/Image/ImageMagick.php and after $sharpen = escapeshellarg($radius.'x'.$sigma.'+'.$amount.'+0'); I added the following: Now that error is gone. See the Kohana bug report I've just made: http://dev.kohanaframework.org/issues/3106 or the gallery ticket: https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gallery/ticket/1237 |

On Tuesday, Special Master for TARP Executive Compensation, Kenneth R. Fienberg, issued supplemental determinations with regard to the 2010 compensation payments and structures of American International Group, Inc. (AIG) and Ally Financial Inc. (Ally). The supplemental determinations follow the March 23, 2010 ruling of the Special Master on the 2010 compensation for all institutions receiving TARP exceptional assistance. The Special Master was required to undertake the March review pursuant to Section 111(f) of Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (EESA), as amended, and Treasury regulations (31 C.F.R. § 30.16(a)), to determine whether any such payments were inconsistent with the purposes of section 111 of EESA or TARP, or otherwise contrary to the public interest.
AIG's supplemental determination, provides responses to four issues for which AIG sought guidance following the March ruling.
The first issue was the inadvertent misidentification of an AIG executive in the Special Master's initial review, resulting in the omission of one of the Top 25 executives from AIG's submission. After being made aware of the error, and being provided the compensation structure of the executive, the Special Master determined that the executive's compensation is consistent with the public interest standard.
The second issue for which AIG sought a supplemental determination related to the hiring of a new executive officer. Upon reviewing the proposed compensation structure for the new executive, the Special Master determined that it was consistent with compensation structures previously approved for AIG. Therefore, the compensation structure was ruled to be consistent with the public interest.
The third issue related to one employee who would likely exceed the $500,000 or less annual compensation standard as result of his performance under sales commission plans. Here, because the rules exclusion of reasonable "commission compensation" from restrictions applicable to bonus and incentive compensation and parity considerations for employees in similar positions competing in similar markets, the Special Master determined that the payment of "commission compensation" to the employee was not inconsistent with the public interest.
The final issue for which AIG sought guidance on was whether the $25,000 limit on perquisites and "other" compensation was violated by paying an employee relocation expenses, when the relocation was undertaken at the request of the company. The Special Master determined that such payments were appropriate, provided that they did not include tax gross-ups and were available to similarly situated employees.
Ally's supplemental determination provided responses to two issues for which Ally sought guidance following the March ruling.
The first issues related to Ally's request to alter the compensation of its Top 25 executives following a substantial increase in the executive's responsibilities following the March ruling. Specifically, Ally proposed to increase the executive's cash salary by $100,000 and stock salary by $166,667. The Special Master found that, in light of the substantial increase of the executive's responsibilities and the "current and expected contribution of the executive to the value of Ally," the alteration was not inconsistent with the public interest.
The second issue resulted from the desire of some of Ally's Top 25 executives to voluntarily agree to a longer redemption period for all or a portion of their stock salary. The Special Master determined that, although the current rules require significant allocations to long-term compensation, permitting longer redemption periods for stock salary under Ally's proposal would be consistent with the public interest.

how doe s the picking work what if someone takes a driver can you still take him
- April 9, 2012 09:05 PM (GMT)
Two things to follow from here on out this month.
*You can't pick the exact same combination of drivers across the board as someone before you. Last week, we picked 8 total drivers. You could have 7 of them the same, but not all 8. This week, we pick 6 total drivers. So therefore you can pick up to 5 of the same drivers but not all 6.
*Here's the biggie. This is the one people have the most trouble with too. You can't pick the same driver twice in a month. Example: JJ25 picked Austin Tunny and Eddie Rogers in week 1 for the LM8 at the Speedrome. He can't pick those guys again the rest of April in that division.

Made in the USA: Which All-American toys are still All-American?
If you're like nearly 80% of Americans, you prefer to buy domestically-made products rather than imported competitors. But if you're shopping for toys, good luck. According to toy industry figures, only one in ten toys sold in the U.S. is made in the States; most of the rest are made in -- you guessed it -- China.
Sifting through the imported toys to find the American-made ones isn't easy, so here are a few ideas for your patriotic shopping list: five classic toys that are still made in America, and five surprising ones that aren't.

Man gets life, 99-year sentences for teen's sexual assault, escape
Conroe Courier, Posted: Thursday, March 22, 2012 3:23 pm
A La Porte man who has spent time in prison for numerous crimes has been sentenced to life in prison for the June 2011 sexual assault of a 15-year-old and 99 years in prison for his subsequent escape after the arrest for the assault.
Jurors in the 435th state District Court of Judge Michael Seiler sentenced Charles Allen Donelly, 48, Wednesday after convicting him of both crimes. Assistant District Attorney Cindy Pulcher showed evidence that Donelly, a parolee, met a 15-year-old child on the Internet and then persuaded the child into engaging in sexual intercourse in the Sam Houston National Forest.
After Donelly sexually assaulted the child, a Forest Service officer stopped them as they were leaving the scene. The child later told the officer that the two had been involved in sexual relations, according to a press release from the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office.

text: YOUNG STAR CLUSTERS IN GALAXY NGC1275 . Jon Holtzman of the Lowell Observatory released high-resolution HST images of galaxy NGC1275 which show 50 bright objects believed to be massive, blue (and therefore very young, perhaps only hundreds of millions of years old) globular clusters. This is surprising because globular clusters in our own galaxy are among the oldest stars (typically 10 billion years old) in the Milky Way. Holtzman said that not only are these clusters blue, but almost precisely the same shade of blue, suggesting that the stars there formed at about the same time; this, Holtzman believes, may have been the result of two galaxies colliding or merging to form the present NGC1275.

European ECM Roundtable 2012
IFR's European Equity Capital Markets Roundtable was held in late October with representatives from the buyside, sellside and a stock exchange. The conversation came at the end of a full-day conference covering all matters related to European ECM.
German Corporate Funding Roundtable 2012
IFR's German Corporate Funding Roundtable, held in Frankfurt in mid-October, convened an expert panel of four DCM and four syndicated loan professionals. The conversation was a fascinating and insightful exchange of views and it took place at an equally enthralling point in time.
Bank Capital Roundtable 2012
The future of capital securities doesn't lie in the hands of either regulators or investment bankers. At IFR's Bank Capital Roundtable on June 21 in London, one of the many themes that came out of the discussion was that investors will define the future of this asset class. Regulators have spent the years since the global financial crisis defining, refining and redefining the optimum bank capital adequacy framework and have broadly laid out the features they want to see in capital instruments.
Covered Bond Roundtable 2012
IFR's latest Covered Bond Roundtable, which took place in Frankfurt on May 29, assessed developments in the covered bond market from the perspective of bank funding in the context of a highly stressed Eurozone sovereign scenario. In the context of a negative feedback loop between banks and their sovereigns, it's essential to understand what's driving the relationship to understand what's happening in the covered bond market in terms of sentiment, pricing and market activity.
Japan DCM Roundtable 2012
IFR's Japan debt capital markets roundtable, held in Tokyo on May 15, found market participants in pensive but upbeat mode. The European sovereign debt crisis is being scrutinised very carefully, but its direct impact on Japanese debt market activity has been relatively marginal. Ten-year JGB yields at just 79bp in early June, a couple of weeks after IFR's roundtable and yen/dollar at 79, tell their own story.
