So I tried using one stick of RAM - one and then the other, and tried a different set of RAM that I had and still brief green when DXVA is chosen. I also set CPU to 1.220v in the bios and still didn't work. I think I'm just going to go with Pixel shaders for render method and leave everything else turned off. I get my best performance that way with occasional clear artifacts (not many) but no green artifacts at all. Just a shame because I really thought this build was going to be a beast and I was looking forward to being able to smoothly change channels in PseudoTV and no issues at all during resume and even on start but I'm fairly pleased. It just sucks to go from a great player with lousy interface (Popcorn) to a great interface but just OK player.

Don't blame the player for hardware/driver issues but I do understand your frustration. I've never been 100% pleased with an AMD/ATI GPU so for years I've avoided them. That is jut compounded by the many reports of video playback issues with AMD/ATI reported in these forums over the years.
If I were stuck with this card, I would disable everything possible in the drivers. Such as that steady video setting and the GPU scaling and ITC processing. Does AMD/ATI still allow installing basic drivers without all that extra crap? |

As I mentioned, it is time to chat with AMD technical staff. They're your friend and they should be able to help you on it......... I found this thread, and maybe you can ask those guys- Fix for artifacts with ATI cards and DXVA2 decoding >Alienware X51- do it all HTPC >Simplify XBMC configurations >HOW-TO Bitstreaming using XBMC I refused to watch movie without bitstreaming HD audio!

Funny you should mention AMD technical staff, just got off the phone with them... extremely unhelpful. They had no idea what XBMC was and they asked who the company was. Then they told me that I would either need to contact DirectX or XBMC because it is an application setting. I can't say I really blame them, they don't know what the limitations are of XBMC or what settings to use.

I think I'm going to try the patch suggested by bluray first and then maybe look into the card settings a little more even though I think I've tried every setting possible. |

I also have the same problem.
It only occurs with XBMC. However, after I disabled the hardware acceleration, the problem went away. My chipset is Intel (onboard video). |

A little update, and more sad news. I went out and (foolishly) bought a graphics card expecting my green pixel problem to go away. I purchased the HIS Radeon HD 6670 1GB and put my build into a different case I had lying around intending to upgrade the ML03B if my tests worked. I put in the card and installed Win7 64 then the 12.3 Catalyst drivers - making sure crossfire was enabled for maximum performance. I installed Eden and went to play several files that were troublesome and there it was again, that evil green macroblocking with DXVA2 turned on. With DXVA2 off and just DXVA on I'm not getting the green pixels but I am still getting some pixelation/macroblocking (greyish). I thought I was building a powerful enough HTPC to have no worries about DXVA2, apparently I was mistaken. The frustrating thing is that I do get the best performance with DXVA/DXVA2 turned on aside from the brief pixelation during skips and resume and I really want to use this setting because of the great CPU levels and for the fact that I BOUGHT THE HARDWARE FOR DXVA! I feel like digging a hole and burying the damn build.
Also let me just make a note, ALL of my media are 1:1 bluray ripped to mkv using makemkv. Too often I see comments on here from guys that are not using 1:1 rips talking about everything working perfectly. I'm sure it is working perfectly when you're playing 12GB files at low bitrates, but that is not the purpose of my home theater or the equipment I use. Not trying to rip on those users at all and each person has their own standards, just saying the level of hardware/decoding is different for small vs large files.

Sorry you are having such problems. Can you return the graphics card you bought and try a nVidia card? You went from AMD to AMD. Chances are the drivers are not that much different. If there is a problem with the drivers you will still have them. You could provide a small sample file that has the issues you are dealing with. Then we can test it out on different hardware.

Do you really think it would be an AMD issue? I only ask because these files play great in VLC even with doing some crazy skipping forward and backwards - I tried to replicate what I was seeing and I couldn't. The only conclusion I can think of at this point would be that it has something to do with the xbmc player/codec itself. I can try to create a sample later this evening, if you happen to have a bluray of a bugs life laying around you could test that lol. My go to files for testing are Cast Away due to a very high bitrate, A Bug's Life in the first 3 seconds when the disney pixar logo is loading (basically the file I go to because it is an immediate indicator that I still have green pixelation), Beauty and the Beast also gives me some trouble when skipping around. The weird thing is that Avatar has no problems though - even skipping through. All of these files are 1:1 bluray MKV from makemkv and are h.264. I tried digging into the files using MediaInfo to see if I could spot any differences. It's hard to really tell because there are a lot of different things being reported, but I am curious about the Reframes which are different or not present in some of the files. Thanks for your response!

Sorry, I do not have any of those laying around. If you could make a test file and confirm it has the issue then share it, I'd be happy to test it on 2 different systems. One with nVidia and one with Intel HD3000.
I do find it odd you do not have those issue in VLC. That does tend to make one think it is truly XBMC related. If you get that sample file we can test it for sure. Are those 1:1 rips in 10bit or 8bit color? XBMC does not directly support 10bit color yet. |

text: The Gallery News V&A Ballgowns 16 May 2012 Ella Alexander Updated Wednesday May 15, 8.32am: British fashion's biggest names, both established and emerging, paid tribute to the V&A's new Ballgowns exhibition last night at the showcase's official unveiling - attended by the cream of London design talent, such as Sarah Burton, Gareth Pugh, Christopher Kane and Erdem. A feast for fashion eyes, the display celebrates the best of the country's ballgowns throughout history, throwing visitors into a dream world filled with frothy chiffon, decadent gold taffeta, luxurious feathers and sumptuous silks. SEE INSIDE THE EXHIBITION HERE"Britain is where an exhibition of ballgowns should be. In France you expect chic cocktail dresses, in Milan furs and leathers, but Britain is the home of ballgowns," milliner Stephen Jones told us. "Britain is in the eye of the storm of the ballgown world."The work of industry heavyweights, Alexander McQueen, Bellville Sassoon, Roland Mouret and Zandra Rhodes, appears alongside the capital's younger labels, such as Holly Fulton, Felicity Brown, Erdem, Jonathan Saunders, Gareth Pugh and Christopher Kane - each representing a different form of grand evening attire. Highlights include a show-stopping, dramatic dress by Alexander McQueen as worn by Daphne Guinness to last year's Met Ball; masterfully draped gowns by John Galliano and Marchesa; a gold lamé style by Zandra Rhodes; a vibrant strapless yellow gown by Erdem; a white Catherine Walker look covered with pearls, designed for Diana, Princess of Wales; a red satin dress worn by Bruce Oldfield, worn by Bianca Jagger; and gowns worn by aristocrats and royalty at royal court. SEE THE EXHIBITION HIGHLIGHTS"She and I were quite good friends," said Bruce Oldfield of Bianca Jagger. "She had attended my final year show at Saint Martins some years earlier and I had worked on a Forties Rita Hayworth suit, which she had bought at an auction in LA. Bianca knew exactly what her good points were and the bits that should be discreetly passed over. It was a huge learning curve and was to put me in good stead to later deal with ladies like Faye Dunaway, Joan Collins and Melanie Griffith.""When I was a student, I felt like the V&A was unreachable - there is no place like it and I always loved coming here," said Ilincic. "The piece featured is an early one and is really dear to me. There is a lot of work that went into it and the V&A appreciated that.""It's a dream come true," said Felicity Brown. "I love the V&A so much and to be shown alongside people like Gareth Pugh is incredible to me. It feels like a real milestone.""As a young British designer it's such an honour to be part of this exhibition and show alongside this illustrious calibre of designers" added Osman. SEE OUR FAVOURITE BALLGOWNSBritish Fashion Council chairman Harold Tillman introduced the evening with a speech, where he highlighted the importance of this very British item of clothing - the ballgown."This really is a celebration of the incredible ballgowns we have here," he said. "It is so fabulous to see these creations up close - we all recognise the people who have worn them." SEE THE EXHIBITION PICTURESUpdated Friday May 4, 9.18am: In two weeks time, the Victoria & Albert Museum will open its highly-anticipated Ballgowns exhibition - showcasing show-stopping catwalk dresses and red carpet gowns worn by stars such as Beyoncé and Bianca Jagger - and we have an exclusive preview to show you. SEE INSIDE THE EXHIBITION HERECurated by Oriole Cullen and Sonnet Stanfill, the exhibition will feature British ballgowns dating back to 1950 - including Alexander McQueen, Erdem and Giles, as well as dresses designed for icons such as Diana, Princess of Wales."We looked for examples that would both exemplify their periods and look stunning on display," Cullen told us. "We also aimed to select a number of gowns that had compelling stories associated with them. Many of the dresses have not been displayed before. In addition, we've been able to highlight a number of stories around the wearers and occasions associated with the gowns. The whimsical exhibition design creates a fantasy-like setting which will surprise and delight our visitors." SEE HISTORY'S MOST DRAMATIC BALLGOWNSBoth Cullen and Stanfill, who hope the exhibit will showcase British design talent in the best positive light, say that it is the diversity and breadth of gowns on display that makes it truly unique."Pieces range from a spectacular beaded Norman Hartnell dress worn by the Queen Mother, to a red satin Bruce Oldfield dress worn by Bianca Jagger and a Ralph and Russo sequinned dress as worn by Beyoncé," said Stanfill. "Many of the gowns have been worn by well-known figures and celebrities, but there are also some wonderful garments from the archives by lesser known designers, that are very impressive and cleverly designed." SEE A PREVIEW OF THE EXHIBITIONUpdated Thursday November 17, 10.18am: Next summer, the Victoria & Albert Museum will play host to more than 60 dresses worn and designed by fashion's most famous faces. The exhibition is set to include designs dating back as early as the Fifties.Ballgowns and debutante dresses seen on Vogue cover girls such as Diana, Princess of Wales, Bianca Jagger, Elizabeth Hurley and Sandra Bullock - previously worn at events such as the British Fashion Awards, Golden Globes and various film premieres - will feature.John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Dame Vivienne Westwood are also all in the line up to have works showcased, alongside Norman Hartnell who made gowns for the Queen Mother and Queen Elizabeth.Ballgowns: British Glamour Since 1950, sponsored by Coutts, will be on display from 19 May 2012 to 6 January 2013 with an admission fee of £10.

King Solomon was known to have coined the expression, "Educate the child accordingly so that when he grows old, he will not leave." In other words, take advantage of the child's education as soon as possible.
In modern times, this admonition certainly applies to preschool, and it's something that my day care school, the Bilowit Learning Center, based in the Lomita-Torrance area, has always taken as a mission.

Excellus study looks at number of uninsured patients
Posted at: 02/27/2013 7:06 AM
Do you know someone who doesn't have health insurance? New numbers are out from Excellus and upstate New York is leading the charge to make sure people have coverage.
A new report looks at the number of people under the age of 65 who have health insurance. This was between the years 2009 through 2011 before the recent health care reform laws took effect. Officials say upstate New York's numbers are significantly better than those of the rest of the state and nationwide percentages.
In upstate, 8.6-percent of people were without insurance compared to the state number of 11.6-percent. Nationwide, just over 15-percent didn't have insurance.

Estes Park, Colo.: Early on an autumn morning, a light confection of snow begins dusting treetops on the eastern edge of Rocky Mountain National Park. We've pulled our 4×4 to the side of the road, and I'm huddled low by the fender to line up my camera for a shot of four approaching elk. My guide, wildlife photographer Steven Morello, whispers to me from the driver's side. No abrupt moves, he cautions; if I stay quiet, I'll probably get a long shot of these animals when they amble up the hill to our right.
Three of them do exactly that. But the fourth, a young stag with an impressive set of antlers—impressive to me, anyway—makes an unexpected turn and saunters straight in my direction. He stops briefly, swings his head to scan me with his opposite eye, and practically poses for a quick portrait. I hadn't expected this to be quite so easy.
Slide Show: Images from Safari
I've come to Colorado to experience an increasingly popular form of ecotravel, loosely known as a "photo safari": a guided trek to some pristine outback of the globe, with the goal of capturing one of those screensaver images that make us gush over the grand visual spectacle of planet Earth.
The ruling mantra of the photo safari is "patience." You wait for that moment when light reflects, just so, off a lake; you wait for the giraffe to scan the horizon for predators before it dips its head to drink. In my current situation, however, I didn't have to wait long. Morello had promised over breakfast that we'd photograph some elk today. "You're good," I tell him. "We haven't been on the road 20 minutes, and I've already got a shot."
The stag, however, has another surprise for us. Rather than shying when he hears the shutter release, he resumes his steady plod directly toward me. Morello's tone abruptly changes. "Don't move," he instructs, as the animal edges close enough to sniff at my woolen scarf. Over my head, his antler points scratch against the Jeep. Even though this odd behavior creates the illusion of a convivial moment, I'm acutely aware that it's probably not. Frozen between fender and elk, I stage-whisper in Steve's direction: "What am I looking at here?" He seems as puzzled as I am.
To be fair, I couldn't call this moment especially terrifying. It wasn't exactly a rhino attack, but the animal wasn't Bambi either. If I were to make a sudden move his antlers could clearly do some damage when he bolted. Morello gently taps the car roof a couple of times; the elk backs up a little, then bounds off to rejoin his companions.
Morello later speculates that this quirky elk was habituated to humans, probably as a result of hand-feeding, one of the more egregious violations of the photo safari's maxim for behavior in the wild: "Take only photos, leave only footprints." Lately, thanks to the confluence of user-friendly digital camera technology and the burgeoning interest in adventure travel, photographic excursions in search of wild game have ramped up into something of a growth industry.
Operators of these expeditions range from modest boutique firms to high-profile outfitters that send scores of clients and guides to destinations worldwide. Behind this legion of eager shutterbugs always lurks the potential for negative impacts on terrain and wildlife. One recent visitor to East Africa recalled a dismal cameo: a ring of off-road vehicles—open windows bristling with telephoto lenses—encircling an anxious cheetah that was crouching in the high grass to protect its kill.
Fortunately, most of the photo safari industry remains in the hands of responsible operators. They seem to function according to the collective credo that a camera is a tool for putting serious ecotravelers in close, minimally intrusive contact with the natural world.

Gioia found out she had Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome at the age of 7. For years her parents had struggled to figure out why their daughter was so easily injured, but doctors couldn't offer a diagnosis.
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is actually a group of genetic disorders that cause problems with a patient's connective tissues, according to Dr. Salman Kirmani, an expert on EDS at the Mayo Clinic. Collagen and other proteins in the connective tissues act like glue to support your skin, bones, blood vessels and internal organs.
There are three main types of EDS -- hypermobility, classical, and vascular -- but many others exist. A specific diagnosis is determined by the degree of symptoms a patient experiences.
With hypermobility, patients experience extreme double-jointedness, joint dislocation and joint pain. Classical EDS adds hyperelastic (or super stretchy), fragile skin to that list. The third most common type, vascular EDS, is the most dangerous. It results in weakness in blood vessels and internal organs that can rupture at any time.
EDS can be misdiagnosed for a long time, Kirmani said. Doctors may do a genetic blood test or skin biopsy to confirm but not all of the genes that cause the various types have been identified.
EDS was discovered in the early 1900s by Dr. Edward Ehlers and Dr. Henri-Alexandre Danlos. Still, little research has been done on its prevalence. The National Institutes of Health estimate that 1 in 5,000 people have it. It affects all genders and racial backgrounds.
"It can happen as the first time, even, in any family history," Kirmani said, but "most of the time we see a family history of milder symptoms."
Unfortunately, there is no cure, but Kirmani recommends seeking treatment from a team who knows and understands EDS.
"Even though we have no cure, we can certainly manage the complications quite adequately," he said.
Managing the symptoms often involves physical therapy to strengthen muscles and over-the-counter drugs for pain.
Genetic counseling is also offered to patients, as those with EDS have a 50% chance of passing the condition on to their children.
Patients with EDS may be limited by their fragile skin or bone tissue -- Kirmani and his team tell patients to avoid high-risk activities - yet the majority have a normal life expectancy.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin game managers are praising a Bush administration plan to remove gray wolves in the western Great Lakes states and Northern Rockies from the endangered species list by late February.
Wisconsin's wolves had been taken off the list earlier, leaving the state Department of Natural Resources in charge of wolf management.
But last September, a decision by a federal judge in Washington, D.C., put wolves in Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota back on the list.
DNR Secretary Matt Frank says his agency disagreed with the judge's ruling and is glad the DNR again will be managing the wolf population.
A big difference for the DNR is having more options to deal with problem wolves that kill livestock or pets.

Origins News Round-up for December 6, 2013
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.

This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
"For a few moments, it felt like our little church community was surrounded by glory. The wisdom of Christ in the hypothalamus was illumining the wisdom of Christ in the prophets and gospels."
What can a practicing scientist in the 21st century—even a "bench scientist" like me whose scientific forays are confined to a laboratory—glean from a 19th century wanderer like Thoreau?
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
For Darwin, both of these observations (that oceanic islands lacked terrestrial mammals, and that endemic species on islands were most similar to a species on the closest mainland) had the same explanation: his hypothesis that endemic, oceanic species were the modified descendants of a colonizing species from the nearest continent.
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
We tend to think of creativity in terms of flashes of insight and brilliance, of novelty, and especially of unexpected things bursting upon the scene. But creativity is no less creative and no less remarkable when it proceeds step by step, according to discipline, according to rule.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.

The Tampa Bay Lightning already have posted the most wins in franchise history in October, and they can add another before the month ends when they visit the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday. The Lightning have won three straight and eight of 10 since a season-opening loss to Boston on Oct. 3, while the Devils are 2-1-1 over the last four contests after going winless in their first seven. Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos, named the NHL's First Star of the Week on Monday, has scored eight goals in his last eight games.Stamkos and linemate Martin St. Louis each have five multi-point performances, while only two of their 15 combined goals have come on the power play. The Devils placed goaltender Cory Schneider (lower body) - as well as captain Bryce Salvador (foot) - on injured reserve Monday, meaning Martin Brodeur and his 37-16-3 lifetime record against Tampa Bay will be in net. New Jersey rallied late in the third period to beat Boston 4-3 on Saturday.TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, TSN2ABOUT THE LIGHTNING (8-3-0): Tampa Bay has scored 12 goals in three games since being shut out by Boston - three each by Stamkos and St. Louis - and is 4-for-13 with the man advantage during that stretch. The Lightning have killed off 23-of-24 power plays since giving up three goals against Pittsburgh. Ben Bishop, who sports a .914 save percentage, likely will get the start as he looks to enhance his 7-1-0 record after getting the day off in the 4-3 shootout victory over Florida on Sunday.ABOUT THE DEVILS (2-5-4): A big part of New Jersey's improvement of late has been the power play, where it is 8-for-25 over the last five games after going 1-for-15 in the first six. Defenseman Marek Zidlicky had one of four man-advantage goals against Boston on Saturday and is tied for the team lead in points with the 41-year-old Jaromir Jagr with nine. Keith Kinkaid was recalled Monday to back up Brodeur, who has struggled out of the gate with a 3.32 goals-against average and .871 save percentage.OVERTIME1. Tampa Bay C Nate Thompson scored four of his seven goals in three games against New Jersey last season. 2. Jagr is 10th on the all-time list with 683 goals, seven behind former teammate Mario Lemieux and nine back of Tampa Bay GM Steve Yzerman.3. The Lightning have won all four of their games in extra time - two in overtime and two in shootouts. PREDICTION: Lightning 4, Devils 1

August 27, 2009 - defend your opinions!

August 20, 2009 - health care plenty scary right now
Last week, on vacation, I drove down to Salida to see a friend. In the park across from the library was a health care protest. In tone, it was much like the many wild emails I've gotten lately about the scary takeover of medical care by big government.
I don't claim to be an expert. But speaking as an administrator of a public agency, I can tell you this: it's scary right now.
According to an article in the Washington Post (January 25, 2009), "A growing number of workers in 2009 will pay more for health benefits -- and in some cases receive less coverage -- as their employers grapple with the financial fallout of rising medical expenses and diminished revenue and profits."
August 13, 2009 - The Intersection of Two Worlds Benefits Library
by Sheila Kerber, Manager, Philip S. Miller Library
This is a tale of two people with a passion for art and education who were once strangers from opposite ends of the world.
We will begin with Carolyn H. Korutz who was born in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. Carolyn was a true lifelong learner. She sang in the church choir with her four siblings. She loved to read and had a wonderful collection of books. Her Webster's Dictionary was her daily companion. Her copy of the complete works of Shakespeare is well-worn, with notes penciled in the margin. Her daughters, Suzanne Kruger and Gretchen Cleveland remember fondly the hours their mother spent introducing them to the magic of words, illustrations and characters. Reading was a shared family pleasure and they made a game of quoting from favorite stories and poems. Carolyn spent happy hours at the public library.
August 6, 2009 - 10,000 hours makes mastery
When I was young, and first taking piano lessons, Mozart really bothered me. I don't mean that his music bothered me. The music was charming and irresistible.
I was bothered by the fact of him. He was writing sonatinas practically as an infant. By the time he was a teenager, he could listen to long, complex symphonic performances just once, then go home and write down every note.
It wasn't fair.

Malicious Pride
Svartahrid's Malicious Pride is fairly standard Norwegian black metal with all the appropriate boxes ticked. From the frost-bitten riffs and raspy vocals to the galloping drums and mild implementation of keyboards, there's nothing new at all to be heard here. Still, it's not a bad listen. There are some good riffs scattered throughout this album, as well as some reasonably compelling melodies. Svartahrid's main problems are the lack of a distinctive sound and a limited musical palette, rendering this album fairly generic.
Musically, Svartahrid aren't all that sophisticated but the guitarwork is above average and provides more than a few noteworthy moments during the course of Malicious Pride. Songs like "Death to All!", "Freezing Sorrow" and "Scorched" are bolstered by some tasty, thrash-inspired grooves that are dead on in terms of their catchiness and intensity. The drumming on the other hand is a little monotonous, with the same stock patterns and fills cropping up from song to song. On the plus side the vocals of frontman Istar, while standard, deliver the goods with his suitably cold and agonized snarl complimenting the music nicely. Unfortunately, even the strong points fail to raise any of these songs above merely good.
Despite containing a few inspired moments, Malicious Pride is ultimately an average black metal album. Svartahrid simply aren't outstanding in any respect and I can't really imagine anyone falling over themselves to hear this. More dynamic songwriting and increased musical depth are the two key elements required if this band are to stand out from the blackened hordes any time soon. Until then, this is strictly for genre fans.

I can't complain about the traffic, because people got out of my way today.
I cannot complain about nothing to watch on TV, because I've been watching a backlog of Heroes.
Frankly, it's upsetting, but I have nothing to complain about.

text: neurolove: Treatment for Parkinson's : L-DOPA The most obvious treatment for Parkinson's would be to replace the dopamine in the brain that is being lost by dopaminergic neuron degeneration. Dopamine itself, however, cannot pass the blood brain barrier to get into the brain. L-DOPA, the precursor of dopamine (it is broken down to create dopamine), can pass the blood brain barrier however. This means that we can administer L-DOPA, it will enter the brain, and then dopaminergic neurons with DOPA decarboxylase (the enzyme that breaks down L-DOPA) will convert L-DOPA into dopamine, giving the dopaminergic neurons that remain in the brain more dopamine to release and make up for the ones that have died. This treatment works very well in the early stages of Parkinson's. Unfortunately, as time goes on, more and more L-DOPA is needed to help movement because more neurons are dying in the substantia nigra and there is a bit of tolerance to L-DOPA. At the higher doses that are needed, there are much more dramatic side effects, including horrible hallucinations, twitches, obtrusive mood swings, etc. Knowing what we know about the basal ganglia circuitry, we know that these are due to increased DA activating the direct pathway of the basal ganglia and increasing thoughts/emotions as well as movements. Unfortunately, because of these side effects, L-DOPA is just a temporary treatment and cannot be used as long-term as needed for someone trying to live with Parkinson's disease. There are other possible treatments that I will discuss next. [Image Source] This post goes along nicely with the reblog about basal ganglia disorders. I think it's important to say that L-DOPA isn't just treatment, it's an intermediary of an important catecholamine synthesis, as illustrated below… 47 notes Permalink L-Dopa Parkinson's treatment dopamine neurodegenerative disorders tyrosine epinephrine norepinephrine catecholamine synthesis

Sliding and Stuttering
Students use a spring scale to drag an object such as a ceramic coffee cup along a table top or the floor. The spring scale allows them to measure the frictional force that exists between the moving cup and the surface it slides on. By modifying the bottom surface of the cup, students can find out what kinds of surfaces generate more or less friction.
Heredity Mix 'n Match
Students randomly select jelly beans (or other candy) that represent genes for several human traits such as tongue-rolling ability and eye color. Then, working in pairs (preferably of mixed gender), students randomly choose new pairs of jelly beans from those corresponding to their own genotypes. The new pairs are placed on toothpicks to represent the chromosomes of the couple's offspring. Finally, students compare genotypes and phenotypes of parents and offspring for all the "couples" in
Built to Last?
In this activity, the students test the shelters they built in Lesson 3, Activity 1 for durability and water resistance.
Rocks, Rocks, Rocks
Student teams will test rocks to identify and record rock properties such as luster, hardness, color, etc., and classify rocks as igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. They will complete a worksheet table with all of their rock properties, and then answer some worksheet questions to deepen their understanding of rock properties and relate them to the cavern design problem.
Improve the System
This activity will lead your class through identifying possible solutions to the design problems that the current west corridor of FasTracks faces. The students will combine what they have learned from all three previous activities to come up with possible solutions to the design problems faced by the system. This activity requires the use of the FasTracks Living Lab.
What Is Energy? Short Demos
Three short, hands-on, in-class demos expand students' understand of energy. First, using peanuts and heat, students see how the human body burns food to make energy. Then, students create paper snake mobiles to explore how heat energy can cause motion. Finally, students determine the effect that heat energy from the sun (or a lamp) has on temperature by placing pans of water in different locations.

Spiritomb has a fairly cool design, but I don't like it, because it's Sableye's rival.

That's nice.
Im not a huge fan of Salamence at all. I find it's design kinda boring compared to other dragons like Hydreigon. Spiritomb is also pretty meh.
