The weekend gun show in Sandy is flooding Utah's market with thousands of rounds of ammunition.
Workers are unloading six semi trailers full of bullets. Organizers expect shoppers to purchase almost everything during the two day gun show, because of past sales at gun shows in California and Arizona.
Darren Newsom manufactures ammunition in Montana. He's one of 250 gun vendors setting up a table in Sandy. "We're seeing the average person probably spend $1000," he said.
Newsom says he has not seen ammunition prices this high during his 25 years in the business. "Right now there doesn't seem to be a price point," he continued. He says a 9 mm cartridge costs $17, but it used to only cost $5. President Obama says he supports the second amendment. However, many gun advocates struggle to trust the Presidents intentions.
"I keep hearing him refer to it as a hunting right. Well there was very little hunting when the Constitution was written up. You know it was more, they just came out of the war and they wrote it so we'd be able to protect ourself in my opinion from the same government that is trying to regulate us," Newsom said.
The gun show in Utah usually attracts 10,000 people. Organizers project 20,000 this weekend.
This gun show is at the South Towne Exposition Center in Sandy on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 for people 13-years and older. Everyone else is free.

*The INJURY UPDATE is a publication of the Injury Prevention Service, Oklahoma State Department of Health. This and other IPS information may be obtained from the Injury Prevention Service, Oklahoma State Department of Health, 1000 N.E. 10th Street, Oklahoma City, OK 73117, 405-271-3430 or 1-800-522-0204 (in Oklahoma). IPS publications are also available at http://ips.health.ok.gov March 23, 2012 Firearm-related Deaths in Oklahoma Worldwide, violence claims more than 1.6 million lives each year. In the United States (U.S.), approximately 51,000 persons die each year as a result of violence. More than half (58%) of these violent deaths in the U.S. are due to firearms. Firearms claim the lives of about 3 persons every hour. In addition to the human and social burden, firearm injuries cost $27.7 billion per year in the U.S. From 2004-2008, there were 153,976 firearm-related deaths among U.S. residents (10.1 per 100,000 population). Suicide accounted for the majority (56%) of these deaths and homicide accounted for 40%. Firearm-related deaths that were unintentional or of undetermined intent accounted for the remaining 4%. Suicide by firearm and homicide by firearm were respectively the fourth and fifth leading causes of injury death in the U.S. between 2004 and 2008. However, for persons 15-24 years of age, homicide by firearm was the second leading cause of injury death after motor vehicle crashes, and for youth 10-19 years of age, homicide by firearm and suicide by firearm were respectively the second and fifth leading causes of injury death. In Oklahoma, firearm-related death was the third leading cause of injury death from 2004-2008. During the same time period, firearm deaths accounted for 55,651 (6%) years of potential life lost before the age of 65. The Injury Prevention Service collects data on all firearm-related deaths as part of the National Violent Death Reporting System of Oklahoma (NVDRS-OK). NVDRS-OK data are collected from death certificates, medical examiner reports and police reports. Data from 2004-2008 were analyzed to assess the characteristics of firearm-related deaths resulting from homicide, suicide, unintentional injury and undetermined intent. Firearm-related deaths from legal intervention (i.e., person killed by a police officer or peace officer acting in the line of duty) were excluded from the analysis. There were 2,296 firearm-related deaths in Oklahoma during 2004-2008. Eighty-three percent of firearm victims were male and 17% were female. The mean age of victims was 43 years. Victims ranged in age from 1 year to 101 years. The overall rate of firearm death was 12.7 per 100,000 population, and the rate of firearm death among males was more than 5 times the rate among females (21.7 and 4.2, respectively). The rate of firearm death was highest among males 75 years of age and older (43.9) and males 25-34 years of age (29.3) (Figure 1). The rate of firearm-related death among blacks (21.1) was 1.8 times the rate among whites (11.8) and nearly twice the rate among Native Americans (10.6). Blacks 15-44 years of age had the highest rate of firearm death (39.2), followed by Hispanics 15-24 years of age (21.9), Native Americans 25- 34 years (21.7) and whites 75-84 years (20.7) (Table 1). 1.2 1.6 25.3 29.3 25.9 25.3 23.2 27.7 44.3 42.4 0.3 0.9 3.9 5.9 6.0 6.6 5.7 3.1 2.5 1.8 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 0-4 5-14 15-24 25-34 35-44 45-54 55-64 65-74 75-84 85+ Male Female Both genders Rate per 100,000 Population Figure 1.

I'm a great listener of RP and I'd like to know if a repository exists or if I could get this radio as a favorite ?
A bientôt,
They are supposed to be shoutcast. Have you tried the shoutcast app?
My Reality Check Bounced!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I run Boxee on Ubuntu 10.04 PC (2 machines)
I run BoxeeBox and I love it.
Not yet... I'll check tonight how to add it!
AFAIK, the shoutcast app is not available on the new boxee version.
Maybe this may help:
http://www.radioparadise.com/musiclinks/rp_128.m3u works here in the Boxee Browser. To make it easier, create a .url file on your PC in a shared folder you can access from the Box, with that link in the URL box in the .url file properties. Then just click on that link in the Box. It's working fine here.
What about Navi-x? they have quite a big shoutcast/radio secion
Or you can use this -
which is 128 mp3, or
which is 128 aac for best fidelity - also works fine in Boxee Box.
"Radio Paradise HD" doesn't work on the Box, though it would be interesting to see whether the upcoming browser upgrade makes a difference. The link to that is http://www.radioparadise.com/rphd.php - apparently they have special apps for the Roku and Google boxes, so maybe someone could do one for the BB?
Nice station.

Radio Paradise is in Paradise, CA just up Skyline drive from Chico. I have listened to it for a couple years, great station.
This is great, I love RP. Would be nice if you didn't have to launch the Boxee Browser to get to it though.
Actually the app descriptor.xml you posted some time back is a great alternative.

After hundreds of wildcats and coyotes were poisoned to secure human existence in Honey Lake Valley, farmers had to constantly battle pesky jackrabbits. Packs were known to destroy single crops in less than a week. The newspaper encouraged young men to help the farmers by hunting jackrabbits instead of playing baseball.

Three men wandered into Susanville looking for work. They inquired at several merchants for a job, but were turned down. That same week, sheriff officials found them sleeping on various residential lawns at night. One man was discovered snuggling with a resident's dog in an attempt to stay warm in chilly temperatures.

Featuring a streamlined wartime program, Lassen College offered courses in business, pre-nursing and basic classes for post-war foreign service and domestic rehabilitation. In addition, opportunities to study typing, filing and accounting were made available to prepare those willing to serve their country in World War II.

A total of 1,477 rubber ducks competed in the first annual Great Rubber Duck Race fundraiser for the Lassen County Fair, held on the Susan River Aug. 15. A duck sponsored by Dave Eichler, of Standish, took first place and the $1,000 top prize; Arnie Sarvis, of Medford, Ore. captured second for $750; another duck belonging to Connie Dysart, of Standish, came in third, winning $500; and fourth place was given to D. Goad, of Standish, awarding him $250. The Fair Association raised about $4,200 from the event.
Fair Manager Tom Henderson reported the fastest duck swam the quarter mile distance, between Alexander Avenue Bridge and the Little League Field, in 47 minutes.

Jean Weaver, of Susanville, became an honorary member of an Oregon family last week after she returned a 150-year-old letter she kept safe for seven years. Weaver found the letter in an old frame at a garage sale for which she paid $3. The letter was written to Enos Williams on Aug. 18, 1854 by his grandmother, Dimeus Williams.
Weaver presented the letter to Shirley McCullough, the widow of Williams' great-great-great grandnephew. The McCulloughs then presented a plaque that read:
"This is to bestow upon Jean Weaver the honorary surname of McCullough in appreciation for her efforts to preserve and return a precious piece of our family history."
Last year
The Rush Fire had burned 205,000 acres and one barn, and officials were hoping for containment of the flames by Aug. 22. The fire started Aug. 12 due to a lightning strike. Nearby residents were urged to pack their vehicles with food, water and fuel in case of an unforeseen shift of the fire.

Aside from the obvious meaning behind Easter, this Sunday also signifies a day full of soothing pastels, perfectly baked ham, brightly colored eggs, and a basket filled with candy for the kids.
It's sort of like another Halloween in regards to candy, which is brought to you by the one and only, Mr. Peter Cottontail.
I'm all for regulation Easter candy. Cadbury mini's and crème filled eggs happen to be some of my favorite seasonal treats of all time.
On the other hand, do I really need a whole basket filled with these dangerously delicious chocolates for future days to come? And do I really want to clean up a pile of rappers, along with my dignity, after I return from my short-lived vacation on a Cadbury cloud?
When it comes to choosing your kids candy, this same mindset should also apply. Of course make their Easter morning memorable and fill their baskets with the traditional treats that we all grew up loving, but also try to sneak in a few healthy snacks as well.
I mean, if the Easter Bunny brought it, then it must be good, right?
Here are some healthier options that your kids will eat without question.
Brown Rice Crispy Treats (use sunflower butter for nut allergies)
Dark Chocolate
Cliff Kid Twisted Fruit Rope
Annie's Bunny Graham Cracker or Fruit Snacks
Archer Farms Fruit Bars
Glee All Natural Gum
Nut Free Sunflower Butter Cups
Whole Wheat Pretzels or Pirate Booty snack bags
You can also do what my parents did, and give a gift that your kids can use instead.
Crayons and sidewalk chalk, a baseball and bat, roller skates, a new jump rope, or a few new books to read are all great examples. No video games, computer stuff, and things that will keep them cooped up in the house.
They need to be outside, having fun and being a kid.
You can join in on the fun as well.
A healthy lifestyle should be a family affair. Set a good example, introduce better snack alternatives, and schedule at least an hour a day of activity that you can all do together.
Be proud to say; "Do as I say, and what I do"
And in case you haven't heard,
According to current research by New York University School of Medicine, the obesity epidemic in America may actually be worse than we thought.
"Body mass index–a rough estimate of body fat using a person's height and weight–may be missing nearly 40 percent of obesity cases.
These so-called "false negatives" are caused because BMI simply estimates body fat and does not directly measure it. People who have lost a lot of muscle mass–often older women–may be classified as "overweight" by BMI, when they are actually obese, says Eric Braverman, one of the authors of the study."
"BMI is the least accurate test in medicine," he says. "It's been around since 1832 and hasn't changed. People are being told their BMI is [a healthy] 24, when their body fat is actually at 34 percent, which is obese."
"The number of missed diagnoses jumped to nearly 50 percent in women, who often begin losing muscle mass as they age."
"Patients are being misinformed that they are fit and thin, and then they bump into heart attacks and diabetes as they age," Braverman says. "If they were told the truth when they were young, they could do something about it."
Well then..
All the more reason to fill those baskets with natural treats and gifts that aid in a healthy future.

GRAFTON, Mass. - Grafton, Northborough and Southborough raised their Eastern Equine Encephalitis threat level to "Moderate" on Thursday following the second detection of the virus in Westborough.
Shrewsbury's level is already at "Moderate."
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health announced the detection of mammal-biting mosquitoes infected with Eastern Equine Encephalitis again in Westborough on Thursday. The department raised that town's threat level to "High" and recommended curtailing outdoor activities during the hours when mosquitoes are most active.
The first detection of EEE in Westborough occurred in late July.
State Epidemiologist Dr. Al DeMaria said it's important for people to use insect repellent, to cover exposed skin and avoid outdoor activities at dusk and nighttime when the inspects are most active. The state offered other tips to stay protected against EEE.
EEE is a serious disease for all ages and can cause death. There has been one human case of EEE in the state, but it is believed that it was contracted out of state.

So they are not going to release the pictures of Bin Laden to the public. Hmmm like I said before, makes you wonder if any of this even took place at all. There you go!!!! Your salamander and chief looking after all you people. He doesnt want to offend anyone with photos or offend the muslim community so he took this POS on board our military ship and prepped his body for the fishies. Oh thats right, they had to because of religious purposes. Now we have no rock solid evidence of the kill....Oh how convenient on the governments part! Why not drag his dead corpse back to the states for the people? Do you think these terrorists are going to stop killing us just because he gave him a proper burial? NOOOOOO it will not. Did bin laden give our citizens a choice for a proper burial? Nooooooo he did not!
Bottomline, this event with bin laden did not take place period. Its a play put on to focus your attention away from all the damage Nobama has done to this country. Nobama and his staff thought this little story would go over well without any questions but the people started asking questions and now its backfired on their part. But I bet he still uses this lie in his campaign trail for re-election.
All I ask....Use the brain that God gave you, read between the lines! Quit being a robot for the government. Remember just because you read about it does not make it to be true. This whole story stinks to high heaven! God help this country.

This paper advances the thesis that the high but little commented on global prevalence of abortion which amounts to 25% of the unborn being aborted world-wide, is mobilizing an almost universally denied and repressed dread of being aborted which is present to varying degrees in the unconscious of most humans, and that this dread and the defenses against facing it are transferentially acted out in the form of quiet or conspicuous individual and social regression.
This paper explores the effectiveness of the Firstart prenatal stimulation method applied to a sample of maternity patients at University Hospital "La Fe" in Valencia, with 71 women in the control group and 101 in the experimental group. Both groups were enrolled in the birth preparation course offered at the hospital. In addition, future mothers in the experimental group wore a waistband equipped with small speakers connected to a tape recorder which played a series of eight tapes of violin sounds.
Evidence of birth and prenatal memories has been postulated as revealing itself in myth, fairy tales, and works of art. This paper presents natalistic symbology as previously proposed by Otto Rank (1929), Nandor Fodor (1949), T. W.
Sixty one-month-old normal infants were randomly assigned to a massage group with oil and a massage group without oil. Massage had a soothing/calming influence on the infants, particularly when given with oil. The infants who received massage with oil were less active, showed fewer stress behaviors and head averting, and their saliva cortisol levels decreased more. In addition, vagal activity increased more following massage with oil versus massage without oil.
Two self-report rating scales of depression, the Beck Depression Inventory and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, were administered simultaneously to a large sample of new mothers at two and six months postpartum. Scores computed as continuous variables yielded high correlation coefficients at both moments of measure. Classification of subjects on the basis of recommended cutoff points yielded identical frequencies and defined similar patterns of onset and recovery, but showed a high degree of discrepancy between the two scales in the identification of dysphoric individuals.
When pregnant women of the village of Vilamarxant, Spain, began singing for two hours a week, they discovered a cascade of psychological benefits including emotional expression, tension relief, and a powerful group solidarity. As they clapped and tapped musical rhythms with their hands and feet, learning folk songs and lullabies, their babies seemed to be joining in their fun. Two older mothers who were scheduled for Caesareans gave birth spontaneously and confidently.

Hello ladies and gents Currently i have a Inno3D gts 250 1GB graphics card and under load the card now sounds a tad bit noisey as i think the bearings on the fans are going,also when i play BF3 to get a smooth frame rate i've got to switch everything more or less to low to get a decent-ish experience playing online. Now that is not good enough! So i am in the market to get a new graphics card, i guess an nvidea 560 TI or an AMD 6950 might be what i just need to get a decent framerate on BF3,but i do not know exactly which one i should go for, can anyone point me in the right direction? Many thanks.
get a 2gb 6950,performance between the 560ti and 6950 is about the same, but the 2gb of RAM on the 6950 will make BF3 run alot better on higher settings
I just bought the setup in my spec's. My 560Ti runs smoothly ~50-60fps on Ultra settings 1440x900 res with all driver settings set at default (Texture : Quality etc.). Occasionally it drops to 30FPS during scope animation. I chose Nvidia over ATI because of 3D Vision and CUDA. Most likely the ATI6950 is a better choice for pure FPS.
I can't say I'm 100% sure that's why it slowed to 30fps, but you could find out for us. Go play alittle bit, and when you see that slow down, check your video ram usage. If it's max'ed out at that point, there's your reason for the slow down.
Yeah, I'm sure he'd love a 580. PM him for his shipping details, then go buy it and ship it to him. Seriously, if the OP could afford a GTX580, he would have posted it as a option in the 1st post
The slowdown occurs incidentaly for me too, don't really now if it's the VRAM shortage of if the game or drivers have flaws but don't want to get into details. Based on what some good new games need - lots of VRAM - I'd suggest to go with a 2GB version, don't know if there are Ti models with that amount of Vram.
The OP has a 32" CRT for a monitor. What is the resolution of it? That's the all important part. My father (who is 70 ) plays on a 22" LCD with a HD5850 and a Phenom x6 1055 and it actually runs quite well. No slow fps and pretty damn smooth. Overkill ain't necessary to play BF3 - good (multi-core) cpu makes a diff.
i have a modded 6950 2gb which runs bf3 on med settings above 60fps (1080p) nearly all of the time so go for something like that i would say. not to sure what it would do at higher settings but a mate runs on ultra (1920x1200) with a none modded and he doesnt complain
It all depends on resolution and the settings you wanna use. On my other rig I tested BF3 with a GTS450 at 720p on an LCD TV and mostly at medium but with post AA it plays well and it looks great.
Yes, there are 2 560 Ti 2gb available in the US. One made by EVGA and the other MSI. I would go with the MSI, the EVGA is notorious for having fan problems. There is also the Gainward Phantom model, but it isn't available in the US. To have it imported it costs about $450.
I agree on the good multicore cpu, i have a single 6850 1gb and game at 1920x1080 on a 24" lcd and BF3 seems to run fine for me all on high.
A 5850 would suffice. However, we need to know the resolution that the OP is going to be playing at. If he's under 1080p the 1GB of VRAM should be sufficient. You only really need more VRAM (2GB) at higher resolutions. At lower resolutions, it almost makes no difference, maybe 2%.
Get a GTX 580 and nail those framerates. They're not that pricey if you get a cheaper one. (Make sure your PSU is up to it)
Yeah, they aren't that bad, I mean the cheapest one on newegg is only $479, not like I havent bought cars for less than that before(and got more than a years use out of the cars). Oh, and dont forget the bonus, all that bottlenecking that'll be included when you pair that GTX580 with that phenomII quad at 3.4ghz
Yes, that's true. Even my E8500 @ 4.11GHz isn't always enough to drive my new 120Hz monitor at 120Hz solid with a modern game. I can tell it's the CPU, because dropping down the resolution from 1080p to 1024x768 makes no difference. I'm gonna upgrade it to a 2600K/2700K and I'll start a thread on my new build when I get started on it.
Hello folks Wow i was not expecting this sort of response,sorry to say that the gtx 580 is just a bit out of my price range by £100 unless someone DOES indeed want to buy me one , i think the max i want to spend is £200 and not a penny more! lol And yes i do play on a 32 inch but i usually lower the resolution to get a better FOV, i have seen a few 560Ti cards in reviews and what have you (i would love to get the gainward phantom 2gb card), and people have said on here that the 2GB versions might be a better option to go for rather than the 1GB versions,is this right? But saying that i have also seen that people prefer to opt for the ATi 6950,if i did go for that option, would it make any difference to me saying that i have an asus sli based mobo and the card was a crossfire based card??
I played bf3 sp on 5770 1gb on ultra and even at 1280x1024 it eats all my vram so the answer is clear get a 6950 2gb .
Confirmed Ultra = all VRAM usage. Still 3D Vision and CUDA but I guess ATI is the way to go with FPS for BF3.
2gb helps with textures and resolution but you dont need 2gb unless you want to try run higher settings depends on how much you want to spend but a 6850 is a good cheap card and a 560ti is better, in some cases overclocked can match and beat a 570
Doesn't matter, I'd suggest this one as a single GPU... (since the budget doesn't allow for more) http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1gb-...hz-gddr5-gpu-900mhz-1600-cores-2x-dvi-dp-hdmi yes, a Lightning 5870. Still a beast on it's own. The card owned nVidia at the time and easily went beyond a Ghz. It was a limited GPU with a 12 high-current inductor (VRM) design, with a Proadlizer and Tantalum (small - resistor like caps) backing up the GPU. It can beat modern mid-range GPU's if you're going to OC.
Can we run some benchmark in BF3 to try and confirm its 100% the 1GB VRAM or just the cards GPU reaching its capabilities? Yeah sure it says it uses all the VRAM but it also uses all it's GPU. I have 2 friends with different platforms c2quad+6970/2GB,amdx4+gtx570/1,2GB plus mine i5+560Ti/1GB. I'd like to run some test in BF3 to be able to compare if its really the VRAM limiting the GPU.

Equations for beginners
Simple equations of the form ax = b
Introduction to basic algebraic equations of the form Ax=B
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- say "Hey, this is going to be a 2".
- But what we'll do in this video is to think
- How to troubleshoot these problems systematically.
- Because what we'll find is that as more and more complicated
- are these equations, you will not be able to
- simply think about them and do them in your head
- So it is very important that you first understand how
- manipulate these equations, but even more important is
- understand what they really represent
- This literally just says 7 times x equals fourteen
- In algebra, do not write "times" ali
- When you write two numbers side-by-side or a number close
- a variable like this, that means you
- are multiplying
- It is just a shorthand, a notion of shorthand
- And usually we do not use the multiplication sign because
- He is confused, because x is the most common variable
- used in algebra
- And if I had to write 7 times x equals 14, if I write my
- sign of "times" or my x so a bit strange, it may seem
- as xx "or" times "times"
- So usually when you're dealing with equations,
- especially when one of the variables is an x, you
- would not use the traditional sign of multiplication
- You can use something like this--you can use the point to
- represent the multiplication
- Then you can have 7 times is equal to 14
- But this is still a little unusual
- If you have something multiplied by a variable
- you just going to write 7 x
- This literally means 7 times x
- Now, to understand how you can manipulate this equation to
- solve it, let's see a thing
- Then 7 times x, what is this?
- This is the same as--so I'll just rewrite this
- equation, but I'll rewrite it in visual form
- Soon, 7 times x
- Soon this literally means x added yourself 7 times
- This is the definition of multiplication
- So that's literally x x x x more more more more x--let's see,
- This is 5 x 's--more x more x
- Soon this right there is literally 7 x's
- This is 7 x, right there
- Let me rewrite it
- This right here is 7 x
- Now, this equation tells us that equals 7 x 14
- Then, just assuming this is equal to 14
- Let me draw 14 objects here
- So let me say I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
- 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
- So literally we're talking 7 x equals 14 things
- These are equivalent statements
- Now, the reason why I drew it that way is to
- you really understand what we will do when we
- We divide both sides by 7
- So let me erase it right here
- Then, the default step every time--I didn't want to do this,
- Let me do this, let me draw this last circle
- So in General, whenever you simplify an equation to a
- – a coefficient is only one number by multiplying
- the variable
- So, some number by multiplying the variable or we can call
- the coefficient times the variable is equal to
- something
- What you want to do is just divide both sides by 7
- in this case, or divide both sides by the coefficient
- So if you divide both sides by 7, what do you have?
- 7 times something divided by 7 is only
- This original thing
- 7 's if void and 14 divided by 7 is 2
- Then your solution is x equals 2
- But just to make this very tangible in your head, what
- is happening here is that when we divide both sides of the
- the equation by 7, we literally we divide both sides by 7
- This is an equation
- If you are saying that this is equal to it
- Anything I do on the left I will have to do on the right
- If they started being equal, I can't just do an operation
- on the one hand and in doing so continue being equal
- They were the same thing
- So if I split the left side by 7, so let me break it
- in seven groups
- Soon there are seven x's here, so that's one, two, three,
- four, five, six, seven
- So that's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven groups
- Now, if I divide it into seven groups, I also want to
- divide the right side into seven groups
- One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
- So, if this whole thing is equal to this whole thing, so each
- one of these small pieces that break, these seven pieces,
- shall be equivalent
- So that piece, we can say, is equal to that piece
- This piece is equal to this piece--they are
- all pieces are equivalent
- There are seven pieces here, seven pieces here
- Soon, every x must be equal to two of these objects
- Soon, we have x is equal to, in this case--in this case
- We had the drawn objects where there are two
- of them. x is equal to 2
- Now, let's just use two other examples here only for
- really get into your mind that we are dealing with an equation,
- and any operation that you make on one side of the equation
- You must be on the other side
- So let me turn down a bit more
- So let's say that I have, I say, I have 3 x equals 15
- Now, once again, you may be able to do it in your head
- You're saying this is saying 3 times some
- number is equal to 15
- You can use your multiplication table 3 and figure out
- But if you just wanted to do this systematically, and that
- It is good to understand systematically, you say OK, this
- thing on the left is equal to this thing in the right
- What should I do with this thing on the left
- to have only one x there?
- Well, to have only the x, I need to divide it by 3
- and my motivation to do this and that ' 3 times
- anything divided by 3, 3 's Cancel and I stay
- with only the x
- now, 3 x 15 was equal to
- If I am splitting the left side by 3, for equality
- be satisfied, I need to divide the right side by 3.
- What this in '?
- The left side, the left side only
- an x, then we have just the x
- and the right side, and ' 15 divided by 3?
- This and ' 5.
- Now you could have done this equacao slightly
- different, even though they are equivalent
- If you start with 3 x equals 15, then we can say that
- instead of dividing by 3, I can just see me free to 3
- I can stick with the left side only equal to x, if I multiply both sides by
- the equacao by 1/3
- then if I multiply that estimate the equacao on both sides by 1/3
- This also works
- you say, 1/3 of 3 and 1.
- When we multiply this part, 1/3 times
- 3, this and ' x
- 1 x e ' equal to 15 times 1/3 and ' equal to 5
- and a 1 time x and ' the same as x, and this is the same thing
- where x is equal to 5
- and these two forms are equivalent to solve this
- If we divide both sides by 3, this and ' equivalent to
- multiply both side of equacao by 1/3
- Now let's do one more and I'll make it a little
- more complicated
- I'll modify the ft<u>min</u>word_len a little
- Let's say I have more 4y 2y = 18
- now, suddenly it's a little harder and
- to make this twin
- We are saying that something twice over 4 times that
- thing and ' equal to 18
- and ' harder to think that number is this
- You can try
- Let's say we have 1 is 2 times 4 times 1, 1 more
- and it does not work
- but let's consider systematically solve this
- You can try to guess and you can reach
- the answer, but how do we do it systematically?
- Let's show
- If two y's terms, what does that mean?
- This means literally that I have two y's summed up with one another
- IE and ' y y more
- and so I'm adding 4 y's
- that I am joining 4 y 's, who literally are four
- y's added with one another
- logo and ' y y y y more more more
- and that has to be equal to 18
- and that and ' equal to 18
- now, how many y's I have on the left?
- How many y's I have?
- I have one, two, three, four, five, six y's
- Thus we can simplify this as 6y and ' equal to 18
- and if you think about it, this makes sense
- so this here, the more 4 y and 2y ' 6y
- then more 4y 2y and ' 6y, and this makes sense
- If we have two more litters 4 stretchers, I'll
- have 6 stretchers
- If I have more y 2y's 4 ' s, I'll have 6 y's
- and this is equal to 18
- and now, we know how to do this
- If I have 6 times something equal to 18, if we divide the two sides
- the equacao by 6, do I solve the equacao
- then divide the left by 6, and divide the
- so I figur by law 6
- and we then y equals 3
- and you can try
- This and ' and ' cool about a equacao
- You can always check if you got the right answer
- Let's see if this works
- 2 times 3 times 3 and 4 more ' to that?
- 2 times 3, this and ' equal to 6
- and then 4 times 3 and ' equal to 12
- 6 more ' equal to 12 and 18

(jiří macek) The Universální psychiatrický chrám (Universal Psychiatric Temple, UPSYCH 316a) founded by Jedinečné Svatopěstitelské Družstvo (Unique Saint-Farming Coop) in the castle of Kuřivody has been carefully documented by photographer Václav Jirásek and transferred to a unique installation at the Ateliér Josefa Sudka gallery in Prague. Apart from photos of the space and key protagonists of the spectral project, there is also a Sprostor (Dirty Space) located in Josef Sudek's chamber.
The names may make the U316a project sound like a nightmare. Indeed, it is a nightmare. The Jedinečné Svatopěstitelské Družstvo (JSD) has collected and sorted discarded objects from bins and containers for years and gradually filled the space of the former castle with them. However, the objects are not allowed to lie waste in the castle – they continuously change place throughout the castle under the supervision of the Generální Štábu Ducha (General Staff of the Spirit). Thus, an impression of a space that permanently shifts is created where solid contours vanish. JSD explains the UPSYCH 316a in the following way: "UPSYCH 316a is a materialized interspace of two extreme concepts of psychiatric treatment. It is a conventional institutional treatment in locked, almost empty rooms on the one hand and an alternative approach with an emphasis on individual freedom for clients on the other hand. U316a should serve as an example that could be used in arguments on both sides. U316a should provide asylum and background for individuals and groups of people with an exceptionally sensitive psyche, extraordinary talent, obsession, or mania from which they should not be cured, but should develop as much as possible. For this reason, there are 21 specialized, up-to-date custom-made wards. Most U316a furnishings come from bins and containers from where it was saved by units of Špružení Šmelců (ŠŠ)."
Apart from the artistic and philosophical questions posed by the JSD itself, the bizarre artistic experiment asks the interesting question of our relation to objects and their impact on our lives. This is an interesting document about the life of objects and their relation to other objects. The studio of photographer Sudek, who managed to move people with his view of simple things and retreats, is pervaded by the impalpable U316a, crammed full of objects in the exhibition by Václav Jirásek. The heaps, in reality – and probably more impressively in the photos by Václav Jirásek – erase contours and take us back into emptiness.

Kristin Scott Thomas - Robert Pattinson's 'Bel Ami' co-star says the key to a good sex scene is "courage and choreography". (Kate: I'm saying nothing, except I have 2 left feet so there would be plenty of practicing if it was me ;-))
Kristin, 49, and one of the stars of the upcoming flick adaptation of Guy de Maupassant novel - had to shoot an erotic scene for French film 'Partir' - in which she plays a frustrated housewife who committed an affair with a former prisoner.
Kristin Scott Thomas revealed that she approaches sexual sequences in the same way as an action shot. The British actress said: "You need courage for it. But in the end professionalism is all that counts, no matter if it's a sex scene or a fight scene. It's all about choreography. The director and the cameras dictate what and how you have to act. Just like they instruct you how to make a blow look like it hurts during a fight scene."
Speaking of 'Bel Ami', Kristin and Robert Pattinson - will start shooting their film 'Bel Ami' in London and Budapest this week. So expect some photos of Kristin - hanging out with young Brit hunk Rob. (Kate: Yes Please)

Hereford bowling alley rebranded five months after fire
10:00am Sunday 21st October 2012 in News By Lauren Rogers
A HEREFORD bowling alley has been taken over by a national chain five months after a fire broke out.
TGS Bowling in Station Approach has been bought by Garland Leisure and rebranded 1st Bowl Hereford.
Garland Leisure, which started in 2010, now runs 36 bowling alleys around the UK.
Company founder Mehdi Afshar said he was attracted to Hereford after being offered the freehold and business.
He said all staff have kept their jobs throughout the takeover.
Mr Afshar said: "Because of the fire earlier this year we're having some refurbishment done which should be finished by the end of October."
Fire broke out at the bowling alley on May 5.
The bowling lanes were not affected, but the blaze did cause damage to the roof, bar area, storage rooms and toilets.

We are lucky that the bowl is open, I heard through the grapevine that it was going to be closed down for good as the owner was not interested in investing. I am going to go with my kids anyway!
I used to go with my brothers and sister every week, but we stopped as it was a bit pricey, we decided to go every month, which we did for a while, but then it just stopped.
If this new owner do some work to the place and not raise the prices then it may do ok. there is very little in this city as it is, apart from pubs and clubs and I am too old for clubs.
We will see what happens, but it is still a shame that as I said above a large faceless company have taken over.

Hope they don't mess with the place too much. TGS has much more character than other bowling places. Would be a shame if they didn't keep it as it is now. Also hope they don't stop the sunday night quiz nights. A fantastic amount of effort is put into that and it's great fun
Although TGS does have a new owner the previous management team remain in place and they are planning to lower prices and try and stay 'local' in spirit.
They have quite a few ideas in the pipeline and in the next few weeks there should be some great offers for Herefordshire's 10-Pin bowlers.
Those of you commenting about the upkeep of the place will also like to know that the bowling lanes will all be resurfaced & restored in the next few months.
Hereford has a bold future ahead with the Enterprise Zone and Cattle Market redevelopment, 1st Bowl Hereford intends to be part of that future!

LANSING - The Office of Services to the Aging (OSA) encourages all eligible older Michigan residents to enroll in this year's Senior Project FRESH/Market FRESH, beginning May 1. This innovative nutrition program provides qualified older people with coupons used as cash to purchase fresh, locally grown produce from authorized Michigan farmers' markets and roadside stands.
People age 60 and older with a total household income of $20,147 or less for an individual or $27,214 for a couple are eligible to apply, as well as those receiving SNAP benefits, commodities, or other federal food assistance. Applicants must also live in a county participating in the program. The program begins May 15, with all coupons used no later than Oct. 31.
"This program offers a great opportunity for us to promote healthy aging through nutrition," said Kari Sederburg, Director of the OSA. "A diet rich in fruits and veggies is important for all of us, and especially so for older adults to help manage and prevent many chronic illnesses. And there's nothing more delicious and nutritious than eating Michigan-grown melons, tomatoes, or juicy strawberries during the summer months."
This federally-funded Senior Project FRESH/Market FRESH program is a proven win-win for farmers and seniors alike. Last year more than 20,000 older people were helped, and Michigan farmers received an impressive $500,000 in coupon redemption from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
For more information and to sign up, please visit www.michigan.gov/marketfresh or call your local Area Agency on Aging. The Office of Services to the Aging is an agency of the State of Michigan whose mission is to provide leadership, innovation, advocacy, and policy on behalf of Michigan's older adults and their caregivers.

Re: Drinking Games
Red or Black, however in my opinion it's the worst game ever created and is solely for the purpose of "10minutes before going out, drink as much as you can"
3 rings of cards face down, the outer bigger than the middle and inner even smaller. Just guess what colour the card is going to be, if you're right you hand out as many drinks as on the card shown (Jack, hand out 11 shots (or gulps of your drink) etc.) If wrong, drink 11 shots. Middle circle x2 the card shown, inner x3.
As you can imagine, getting king x3 (39 shots) wrong isn't great. And with people handing them out, you're often left with 44 shots or something stupid.
It was funny in freshers and we actually drank the amounts given. How naive we were.
Haven't played that game for ages, you can probably understand why... -

Re: Drinking Games
Arrogance with a deck of cards, shuffle the deck of cards and draw the top card. Next person pours drink into a glass/jug and guesses if the next card will be higher or lower, if they're right it goes to the next person who pours some in and guesses, if they're wrong they have to finish the glass/jug of various things in one. Pretty fun.
Re: Drinking Games(Original post by Norton1)
I play a game on this forum where I take a shot every time I see a thread about Islam or how prestigious different Universities are.
I don't remember what not being drunk is anymore.

Cracked Code
Blow to proposed Pearl District zoning plan, but idea may be revived
In the heart of the Brookside neighborhood along South Peoria Avenue, pedestrians stroll by packed restaurant patios and window shop from boutique storefront displays.
Then the neighborhood changes abruptly, at least for City Councilor Blake Ewing, "when you get to what used to be the Blockbuster video and is now the Bank of the West parking lot, or when you get to QuikTrip," he said.
His point is that walking by an open parking lot or a gas station just isn't as friendly to pedestrians.
This is how Ewing explains the importance of a zoning proposal to encourage pedestrian-friendly building designs in the Pearl District neighborhood.
Despite a 6-3 vote against the plan at a Sept. 5 meeting of the Tulsa Metro Area Planning Commission, "I don't believe it's dead," said Ewing, whose district includes the Pearl District, a roughly 70-block area just east of downtown and south of I-244.
The alternative, Ewing said, courts the likelihood of development with open parking lots and buildings set far away from the street -- the type of construction that might disrupt a "dense flow of urban-oriented buildings" before it begins, said Ewing, a developer himself who is converting an older building at South Peoria Avenue and East 6th Street into a café.
"Suburban-style development is what our code demands. It doesn't give an option, so if you want to go build something new in the Pearl District, you have to build it according to the current code," Ewing said. The proposed new regulations would not mandate change to existing structures but govern new construction projects and extensive remodels.
City leaders blessed the idea in April of last year, approving the rules known as a form-based code. But the city didn't apply the rules to a specific neighborhood, leaving the next steps to the planning commission, a mostly volunteer group with members appointed by the city and Tulsa County (the city and county each also currently have a staff member on the commission).
Ewing spoke just a couple of days after a tension-filled commission meeting that included conflict not only between those for and against the plan, but also between the recommendations of planning staff and the opinion of the commission's legal counsel.
Ironically, it may have been one of the plan's most vocal supporters who helped defeat the proposal.
During months of public meetings, no one on the commission championed the code more than Bill Leighty, a longtime Tulsa real estate professional who has served for three years on the board.
Yet at the commission meeting, Leighty made a motion that directly led to the vote on adopting the code as a regulating plan for a large portion of the Pearl District.
He did so to the chagrin of at least one fellow commissioner.
Brandon Perkins, the group's first vice chair, called Leighty's motion "hasty" because "it's tied our hands."
"I would have supported postponement," Perkins said just prior to the vote, though he -- along with Ryon Stirling, the group's second vice chair -- joined Leighty in voting for the plan's approval.
Before making the motion, Leighty said the matter should be forwarded to the Tulsa City Council. But he was told after making the motion that procedure would only allow referral to the council if the commission approved the regulating plan.
At one point, Leighty tried to withdraw the motion, but only after Dwain Midget, the Mayor's designee to the board, had seconded his motion -- and Midget said he refused to withdraw his second to the motion.
Midget joined Michael Covey, Jr., John Dix, John Shivel and Joshua Walker in voting against the proposal.
After the vote, Leighty made a motion to refer the matter to the Tulsa City Council. But it had zero support.
"By voting to send it to city council, that's the same as reconsidering the vote that we just made," said Mark Liotta, the county's designee to the commission. No one seconded Leighty's motion.
In an interview a day later, Leighty admitted that his call for a vote didn't work out as he had hoped.
"Quite honestly, I did not realize at that meeting in time that it would likely, it might not go to the city council. So, in a sense, I guess you could say things backfired on me a little bit," Leighty said.
Yet other commissioners seem to expect to hear the issue again. Just prior to the vote, Commissioner John Dix -- perhaps the most vocal critic of applying the code throughout the neighborhood -- said, "This plan, I have a real problem with."
But he added: "And the only way I think we're going to get the city planning staff to do what our desires are and give us something we can support is if we deny this plan today. It is not going back to square one, it is going to the table and revising this plan and bringing it back forward in a form that we can support."
The plan has undergone much change since first brought to commissioners in April. On Sept. 5, planners again recommended a greatly reduced area to actually apply the form-based code, roughly 40 blocks, leaving out almost the entire area north of railroad tracks that cut across the neighborhood.
The Pearl District's boundaries include East 11th Street to the south and South Utica Avenue to the east. Planning staff from the city and the Indian Nations Council of Governments recommended applying the new regulating plan only to the west side of South Utica Avenue and the north side of East 11th Street, citing the wording of the 6th Street Infill Plan. Planners have cited this plan when adjusting the proposal.
Planners recommended a two-step process that would allow zoning to possibly be phased in, with separate approvals for the regulating plan and the actual zoning. But this idea met with disapproval from the commission's legal counsel, who recommended applying both at the same time.
Leighty's motion for a vote might have died, but Midget -- who earlier spoke in favor of working more with plan opponents -- seconded the motion. In an interview, Midget said there was enough sentiment for a vote, and when asked if he thought the planning commission would hear the issue again, said "absolutely, and in the short-term."
Ewing wrote a lengthy post shortly after the vote to the TulsaNow online community forum.
"Our undertrained Planning Commission was ill-equipped to respond and appeared overwhelmed by the process," Ewing wrote, calling for "land use training" for the group and also city councilors.
In an interview, Ewing said he wants to make sure the vote was proper.
"I don't know they knew exactly what they were voting on," said Ewing, who attended the Sept. 5 meeting but did not speak.
Ewing said the council may be able to vote on the issue and send it back to the planning commission for reconsideration.
He reiterated a complaint from proposal backers that "fear mongering has taken place."
However, a diverse range of businesses and entities large and small have stated they would like to be excluded from the plan, including several with a long-term neighborhood presence like El Rancho Grande restaurant, oilfield supply company Skinner Brothers and Indian Health Care and Hillcrest Medical Center.

The suspects fled but were stopped by State Police several miles away.
Molden and Hammel are scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 15.

The population in America is changing. As American's age and medical advancements spawn longer lives, the need for long term care is skyrocketing. As long term care gains popularity, costs are beginning to rise more rapidly and are expected to increase steadily over the next few years.
Millions have already exhausted their retirement in a very short amount of time in an effort to pay for these services. While your medical plan and Medicare provide valuable benefits, they often don't cover the high costs of long term care. Long term care insurance helps pay for these services by covering the costs for nursing homes, assisted living centers and in-home care.
NIADA members and their families can obtain discounted long term care insurance that enables the flexibility of choosing benefits that tailor to their needs so they don't pay for unnecessary coverage. In addition, these policies are 100% portable so if life steers you away from NIADA, you will continue to receive discounts for the life of your policy.
NADA has selected LTC Financial Partners (LTCFP), on the nation's premier experts in long term care planning, to educate you on this subject and help you make the fundamental shift in retirement planning. To learn how long term care insurance can help you plan for your retirement, contact LTCFP toll-free 877-736-5086 or visit www.niadaltc.com.

Release Date: May 4, 2012 (limited)
Studio: Fox Searchlight Pictures
Director: John Madden
Screenwriter: Ol Parker
Starring: Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Penelope Wilton, Dev Patel, Celia Imrie, Ronald Pickup, Tom Wilkinson, Maggie Smith
Genre: Comedy, Drama
Rated: PG- 13
Official Website: Marigold Hotel
Let's be honest, where does the intrigued for this film lay? Within it's properly British cast. And who doesn't love each and every one of these thespians whose careers have become a universal standard and landmark within the world of cinema? The answer should be "no one!" You either love this ensemble of elderly movie stars, or you're wrong!
Apart from Masterpiece Theater on the big screen, there's the setting in India that reminds us of the British upper class who enjoy retirement in the land occupied by those their ancestors oppressed for years. In an eye-opening trip where seven characters, whose financial situations are less than appealing, are outsourced to a Marigold hotel for the elderly and beautiful…titled "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel." Of course, as any good story should do, the assumed luxurious vacation became a trip of unexpected surprises, trials and tribulations, all mixed with humor, drama, and culture shocks that give the film a powerful message despite its predictability.
Downton Abbey fans will be swarming to the theaters to see this rare cinematic delicacy with its list of actors and a script which resembles the best of English TV dramas – heavy on dialog and proper humor, with a tad bit of slap stick. But while this film isn't as self serving as any British drama I remember, or as gorgeous as some Indian fantasy films have been, there's still an appeal that extends beyond the Oscar award winning cast.
The movie is set up with brief sketches which give us a little information about each character and how their personalities will be served in the film. Setting up the story's reference of time and place is Elelyn Greenslade (Dench) who's constant internet blog postings immediately let us know who the narrator will be. Dealing with her recently deceased husband's money squandering, she's forced to sell her home and look for other means of paying off his debt. At her age, it's not going to be easy! Luckily her experience with an unpleasant conversation with an Indian call center lands her a job mentoring the staff of one such organization in properly conversing with customers.
On the other side of things, an old married couple, the Ainslies, is dealing with their daughter's failed investment plans which they poured the bulk of their retirement money into. However, the frustration with their daughter's inability to full fill her debt to them is only a fraction of the marital problems the couple's been facing for years; Jean (Wilton) is a closed minded woman who can't find the beauty in the new and unfamiliar, while her husband Douglas (Nighy) explores the noise, chaos, and run down parts of India with enthusiasm and excitement. A precursor to a failed marriage me thinks.
Graham Dashwood, (Wilkinson) a gay man, hasn't been to India since his youth and struggles with the idea of seeing his old lover again. Indian culture, at the time, didn't look at the homosexual lifestyle very highly, and the two were forcibly torn apart. It's one of the more tragic stories within the film that ends as happily as it does sad.
Madge Hardcastle (Celia Imrie) and Norman Cousins (Ronald Pickup) are a youthful pair of elders who disguise themselves as energetic, sex crazed fanatics to cover up the fact that they are two of the loneliest characters on the film's roster.
And last but not least, we have Muriel Donnelly (Smith) whose phobia and racist attitude towards colored people generate some of the most humorously offensive moments in the film. Of course, where the other stories succeed, Donnelly's story fails to deliver. No doubt we can all believe that old age, a bad hip, and a feeling of betrayal can dictate how senile and mean one old lady can become, and her feelings towards nonwhites is a learned behavior that's as offensive and annoying as can be. However, her sudden transition from terrible person to a loving and motherly role was odd and out of place. Not even Maggie Smith can save this confusing character, but she does a bang up job regardless.
For me personally, I'm not one to get overly excited for movies that stay so far on the side of sentimentality that the optimism and hokey script cause my gag reflex to kick into overdrive. However, this acting crew is experienced enough to take a screenplay over run with puke invoking dialog and turn it into something meaningful and heart warming.
Likewise, the streets of Jaipur and its exceptionally busy flee markets, worn down architecture, and warm colored and sunny landscapes is an accurate depiction of a culture that cares more about living life to its fullest instead of worrying about materialistic obsessions. And at the film's core lies this very idea – no matter how old you get or how much life experience you obtain, your never free from the burden of life's struggles.
By the story's end, a subliminal question is asked – are we ever too old to break out of our comfort zone and experience the new? Some are, some aren't, but the film attempts at invoking understanding of this concept and being open to its possibility.

Mediation is the use of a trained neutral facilitator —a mediator—to assist in the negotiations of parties in a dispute. Mediation is an informal and confidential process that generally requires less cost and time than adversarial court litigation.
A farmer in debt has the opportunity to renegotiate, restructure, or resolve farm debt through Mandatory Farmer-Lender Mediation. During a 90 day period, creditors in mediation may or may not collect on the debt. The use of the term mandatory does not mean that the farmer must use mediation. It means that no creditor can start a proceeding to collect debt against a property until the offer of mediation has been extended and, if the farmer so chooses, completed.
The goals of Farmer-Lender Mediation are to:
A creditor with a secured debt of more than $5,000 against an agricultural property must offer Farmer-Lender Mediation before proceeding with foreclosure, repossession, cancellation of contract, or collection of a judgment.
The first step is an orientation meeting if the farmer chooses to take advantage of the mediation offer. The farmer, creditor, financial analyst, and the mediator meet to explain the process and to determine if financial information needs to be prepared.
The mediator leads and manages discussion as a neutral party without making decisions or judgments. Mediators are trained to use conflict resolution skills to facilitate effective negotiation.
The mediator ensures that all participants in mediation get to speak and be heard, helps to define issues, emphasizes common goals, keeps discussion focused and moving forward, looks at all options, and reduces fault finding.
The mediator may advise, counsel, and assist the parties on ways to come to agreement, but does not tell the parties how they should conduct their business or personal affairs. The mediator does not take sides or decide how the dispute should be resolved.
Successful mediation requires compromise on the part of both debtor and creditor.
Farmers may have to:
Creditors may need to:
The parties involved retain control over the outcome of the negotiations in a joint decision-making process, regardless of the specific outcomes of the mediation.
Trust is built and solutions are uncovered when parties meet face-to-face to exchange information in an orderly way. The parties have strong incentives to make their agreements work, because they created the agreements themselves.
If mediation does not result in an agreement, the parties are free to pursue whatever course of action is available to them - most often with a clearer understanding of the facts, the issues, and the positions of the other parties.

Im 20 years old. When i was 17 i was an idiot and took a PH called alpha 17. I had no idea how stupid it was for me to take it that young, someone told me it would get
me big and i didnt do any research and had no idea any side effects of taking a PH that young, plus half my high school was taking it. STUPID! I took alpha 17 for a
month then took a pct. Two months later i realized i had a lump in my left nipple. I took another pct and it didnt go away then i took a cycle of letrozole and it still didnt
go away. It is still there, and it damn annoying. I heard somethin about epistane will take it away, but ive heard that about many other products. Am i just
gonna have to deal with the lump or is there anything i can do?
