AGENCY, IOWA -- Take the exit to Agency on Hwy 34 and you'll notice something new driving into the town: a new sign.
The sign was installed last Friday but it has been in the works since last spring all thanks to the city clerk Cindy VanAntWerp.
She approached the city council about looking at putting in a new city sign at the location that it's at now.
Designs for the sign were put into the city newsletter and members of the community chose the one designed by Steve Huffman of Dream Scapes.
"I think it shows pride in the community. They were excited to have something to show off the area and since it is known for the Chief Wapello Gravesite as well, we thought it would be a nice way to kind of incorporate that an heighten awareness for the park as well," said VanAntWerp.
The sign features Chief Wapello holding an arrow. The city is home to Chief Wapello's gravesite.
VanAntWerp said the feedback from the community has been very positive and she is very happy with how the sign turned out.

***I'm a fan (and you should be too) because...***
The reason why I am a fan of Avril is because she writes music that is true to herself and any person can relate to it in some way or reason. Her music and lyrics speaks to me in a way that on other artist has ever done and that really means something.
Also, Avril isn't afriad to be herself and that is what she does all the time. From being a skater girl and tomboy to a crazy chick and sort of a girly-girl, she did it, despite that many people didn't like the fact she changed. She didn't change because the lable wanted her to or her fans presssured her into it, she did it because SHE wanted and it was HER choice.
Avril gives me strength when I'm at my weakest point and she makes me SMILE when I'm about to brake. She makes me have no care in the world and makes me try to live my life for once. She makes me feel touched by her words in her songs and makes me cry when I can relate to a terrible brake up or loosing someone very dear to me.
The reason why I am a fan of Avril Lavigne is because she is her.

Seven Days Says:
"Hanoi, 2010," photographic portraits of street vendors in Vietnam.
Michael Metz
In 2010, while Michael Metz was in China for work (he develops businesses that use precious metals in electronics), he decided to spend a weekend in Vietnam. Metz has been an amateur photographer since high school in the '70s, when he opted for a photography class over joining a sports team. He often takes time out during his travels to document the world around him with his camera. Metz spent his weekend in Hanoi photographing street vendors. "I was there alone," he recalls. "It was hot as hell." His show, titled "Hanoi, 2010," at Mirabelles in Burlington, offers a glimpse into that steamy, bustling, barefoot scene. Through January 31. The pictured work is untitled.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — A Haitian baby rescued from the rubble after January's devastating earthquake and transported to a Florida hospital has been reunited with her parents.
Baby Jenny and her mother were separated when the earthquake struck Haiti. Several days later, Jenny was pulled from the debris and taken to the U.S. for treatment.
The infant had arm and head injuries and a collapsed chest.
Bob Martinez, an attorney for the child's parents, says the couple learned their baby had been rescued and began searching for her. A DNA test of Jenny and her mother came back with a positive match.
The lawyer and the state Department of Children and Families say the family was reunited Monday. They will hold a news conference later in the day.

Demographer Mr. George Korbel must be a consummate drawer of maps. He has created the perfect one.
And it's a good thing. They are out of them.
The Beaumont Independent School District will ask the Department of Justice to no longer consider Map 7B.
Map 7B would have required the hiring of a George Washington University professor to get the information on the racial makeup of voters that the Department of Justice was requesting. And at best it still would have been an educated guess.
It was a request without an easy answer that has delayed the acceptance of Map 7B. The Jefferson County Voter Registrar does not collect that information.
It also would have cost the district an additional $17,000 and time it no longer has.
The BISD has also learned that the Department of Justice does not have any objections to Map 7I and it will get preclearance without any additional information required.
This preclearance will allow for the election of district's Trustee seats 4, 6, and 7. Those positions are currently held by BISD Trustees Gwen Ambres, Tom Neild and Janice Brassard.
Upon preclearance, those wishing to run for the BISD School Board can consult Map I to ascertain which district they reside in.
The filing dates have been set as from July 27th to August 26th at 5 p.m..
And to those citizens of Beaumont that live in any of these districts up for election and want to serve your schools and your city, please file away.
A contested election is a healthy election.
Those in BISD districts 4, 6, and 7 have been given an opportunity to have a choice. Make the best of it.

The CRECE study analyzes the impact that the Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program has had in the lives of coffee farmers in Colombia during the period 2009 to 2011. The objectives of the study were to determine: 1) the difference the AAA Program is making in terms of sustainability, 2) whether environmental practices impact farm results, 3) whether AAA farmers have higher levels of income and productivity and 4) whether benefits apply equally to small farmers. Download the full executive summary »
The Rainforest Alliance has conserved hundreds of thousands of hectares of rainforest from destruction over the past two and a half decades. Yet our mission is more urgent now than ever before. Tropical deforestation produces a significant amount of the world's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which in turn contribute to climate change.
This report summarizes the work of the Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Tourism Program, supported by the Inter-American Development Bank's Multilateral Investment Fund (IDB/MIF). The document includes a brief of the strategies implemented to promote sustainable management practices among tourism businesses and tour operators in Latin America, to enhance their competitiveness and international exposure and to raise consumer awareness and demand for sustainable tourism services. It also quantifies the results achieved from 2007 to 2011.

Hello all winter livestock farmers in need of an employee (or apprentice), Sam and I are looking for a farm to spend this winter on, preferably where I can learn more about animal husbandry in any way, shape, or form- dairy- slaughtering- business plans, you name it. I am very interested learning about maple sugaring, too. Of course, like many others, I am learning in order to be able to get my own operation up and running in the future. I am available ASAP. We (doggie and I) are from upstate NY and are willing to travel to find the right fit. I would like to stay in the NE this winter, preferably, but it's not necessary. If you are close ( five hours or less), we'll come for a visit first. If farther, we can Skype, or chit chat on the phone. Whatever works. I have a solid base of knowledge in small scale- organic vegetable farming operations, a little in dairy, horses, and CSA. Again, where I have less experience is with animal husbandry and would really like to expand in this area. I am really interested in learning other creative crafts and skills- tincture making, woodworking, perfecting throwing on the wheel, but I know each farm has their own thing going on. Lastly, I have a mindset to eventually find a good community to settle down in and the search begins now, but I suspect that will come with time. Basically, you have two hardworking, trustworthy, and somewhat experienced hands at your disposal. Of course, I still have a lot to learn. In turn, I'm looking for housing (rustic is fine), a decent wage, and a place to contribute. A wage is important, as I am past the "intern" stage and I know what is expected of me as far as what hard work is. However, if you cannot offer a living wage, but are looking for a work/living exchange, if there are employment opportunities nearby, I am totally willing to look into it. Basically, I want to farm, but I need to survive too. Any savings I get from here on out will likely go into travel, which is just as important for my long term plans. Eventually, I would like to work in sustainable community development, abroad as well as in the good ol' US of A. Right now, I am planning a trip to Uganda/ South Sudan around February, but this date is somewhat flexible. Going with the flow for now, and if it seems like a good fit for both parties, maybe a longer stay would be best. I would like a place that would be flexible with my eventual hiatus, and my eventual return. Short term is alright too, if just for the winter. It all works out :) So long for now, and please, don't hesitate to call or email. This site can get finicky. Cassandra and Sam 315-887-0480 ( home) 315-753-2041 (cell) email@example.com

by 105 student
Yesterday, after being told by health services that I would have to go to the emergency room due to an allergic reaction, I immediately started to get nervous and cry and I started to have a panic attack. I could see that my heart rate was drastically increasing because I was hooked up to a monitor at the time. As someone who suffers from Panic Disorder, having panic attacks are not that uncommon. However, due to the fact that I take klonopin to prevent panic attacks, I was surprised by how quickly the onset of my panic attack was at the mere mention of a hospital. It was as though the idea of a hospital was a trigger.
Once I got home, I decided to research what had caused my panic attack. It turns out that there is a specific phobia called Nosocomephobia which is a fear of hospitals. It is a specific phobia, which is particularly difficult given that one would already be upset about their illness or injury which is causing them to go to the hospital in the first place. Nosocomephobia can induce panic attacks which, include symptoms such as shortness of breath, a pounding heart, dizziness, nausea, a feeling of being disconnected from the world and from oneself, and generally a dread that one is losing control and is going to die. [For more about panic attacks, see the post Be afraid, be very afraid.]
While researching I came across the point that most likely, the fear of hospitals is actually a protective mechanism for the individual because of some traumatic event in ones past that involved a hospital. I then realized that, ironically, the last time I had been hospitalized was for my most intense panic attack! At that time, I had no idea what was wrong with me and no doctor had even entertained the idea that what I had was panic disorder. They had assumed that I was feeling these symptoms because of low blood sugar and stress. Clearly, not knowing what was going on with me caused even more anxiety, as one of the main problems for people who suffer from panic disorder is a general need to feel in control, though not necessarily to actually be in control.
I've concluded that the panic attack I experienced yesterday was most likely due to nosocomephobia. I associate hospitals with panic attacks, and for people with panic disorder, it is quite often the fear of having a panic attack that will actually cause a panic attack. My fear of hospitals, while it may seem counterproductive, is actually my body trying to avoid a negative situation. It is as if it is saying, "I'll attach a fear to hospitals in order to steer clear of bad situations and to be safe."
For me, I believe that I can overcome my fear of hospitals by continuing to take klonopin and to address this issue with my psychiatrist. Many people are prescribed benzodiazepines such as klonopin for their specific phobias. However, there is a variety of other treatment options for those who suffer from nosocomephobia. One such treatment is Systematic Desensitization. Patients are desensitized to their specific fear through the use of virtual reality or imagery exercises. Another treatment is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This also involves a gradual desensitization to one's fear. In this type of therapy, the patient learns to understand his or her pattern of negative thoughts, and ways to break this cycle. A third option is Hypnotherapy. Hynotherapy tries to reprogram the parts of your subconscious associated with your fear. Hypnotherapy is part of study or practice known as Neuro-Linguistic Practice, or NLP. It is the study of how we create our reality, and holds the viewpoint that a phobia is the result of malfunctioning "programs" that you have created in your brain. NLP finds and "re-programs" these constructs. Through hypnotherapy and NLP, Nosocomephobia can often be greatly reduced or even eliminated.

McCormick & Schmick's Seafood - Edina
Online Reservations
We had a wonderful evening. One of the best steals I have ever had and the Coconut Pie - out of this world. A very special place.
Great service and great food. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful. Noise level was not loud in the area we sat in.
Yau (sp?) was an excellent server, very informative, pleasant and charming. What a great employee, such fantastic customer service. Thanks for a lovely birthday celebration.
I had a colleague visiting from China so I took him to McCormick & Schmick's for dinner. The booth was very comfortable and I have always liked the ambience. The waiter was helpful in giving recommendations for wine and food, and the service was very good. We both had the stuffed salmon and it was delicious! Our third diner had a side salad and another type of salmon and said the salad was way too big for being a side salad. The side salad should be smaller and cheaper. Other than that, we were very happy with the food and service.
Generally no surprises with the food or service.Consistent quality and service. Good wines and the promotion they were running on the Cabernet was very good.
The food was wonderful, the service superb, a destination for my wife and I when we visit the Twin Cities.
Our food was excellent. However, the service was a little rushed. The main dishes were done before we were all finished with our salad and soup. After that things were a little more relaxed.
The staff do everything they can to ensure your dining experience is a great one. They do not hesitate to correct any mistakes and they are fixed promptly, several people ask if your food and service is ok and they even helped me find the shortest (driest) route to my vehicle in the parking lot. The team did a great job from the time we walked in the front door to the time we left the side door. We eat out a lot and many places have great food but few have the complete dining experience. The team has managed to find the proper balance between providing too much attention and none at all to customer's needs.
We enjoyed our recent visit to the restaurant . We enjoyed many of the offerings on their special Fall Menu which included fabulous King Salmon with Fall vegetable. Other fine selections on the main menu included Moon fish and an excellent beef carpaccio. The wine list has something for everyone. Our server Giao was extremely helpful, friendly and efficient. Would definitely go back
A very nice dinner, great food, atmosphere, and service. We highly recommend.
Food was great but the server was absolutely excellent. Gave great suggestions and we were never in want of anything.
As is nearly always the case, the seafood at McCormick is outstanding. I normally eschew chains but had out of town guests that requested seafood in Edina/Bloomington area...who else is there. The prices seem to be escalating faster than other top restaurants.
The food and drinks were all outstanding. We had the crab tower appetizer, and it was evident that the avocado and mango in this dish were at their optimal ripeness, just one of several signs that the kitchen was very attentive to fresh ingredients. The music was very good, and played at just the right volume. This is not an inexpensive dining experience, but overall, it really delivers.
everything was pretty good, except the crab was a little fishy, the swordfish a little dry. the German chocolate cake was amazing
Service in both the bar and restaurant was professional, prompt, top-notch! Personalized menu for 60th Birthday celebration dinner was a wonderful surprise! Oysters Rockefeller, lobster, tenderloin, and stuffed shrimp were all perfectly prepared and exquisitely presented -- delicious!! Our server, Luke, was very knowledgeable, personable, and attentive!!! :)
We were celebrating 2 years since we met & a year since our engagement & wanted to go back to the place with great food, service & a lovely ambience. We were also lucky to have received gift cards for our wedding from people knowing we love McCormick & Schmick's. The Caesar salad was one of the best we've had, the steaks were delicious & done perfectly & the Guyere potatoes were very good! Our waitress was lovely, warm & attentive. Altogether, a wonderful evening to remember!
The staff really go out of their way to acknowledge your special day. Food it fantastic and the service incredible. Thanks for make a special night something to remember.
My family of 5 chose McCormick & Schmick's for my mom's birthday dinner because I had some gift certificates from the Landry's referral program so we were able to afford a pricier restaurant. We were all pleased with our dishes and found a lot of variety on the menu. Our server was excellent! Didn't catch her name but she knew the menu very well and was extremely accommodating of our group member who eats a gluten-free diet. The only negative was that the music was too loud which made conversation rather difficult. Wish we would've left room for dessert!
For 30 years my girlfriends and I have been going to MInneapolis Christmas shopping. We dine at upscale restaurants. McCormick and Schmick was 5 star in our option. We had 5 diffenent meals, all of which were were great. Our waitress was fun. Thumbs up!
Everything went off without a hitch. Our waiter Jeff, was most pleasant and helpful. The Food was excellent as usual. We were liking this place more and more.
It was great to be able, as a Vietnam Veteran, to get a free Entree . My friend, a Marine pitot, and the wives joined us for the occassion. His wife got up, asked the Vets to stand, and proceded to sing all the Armed Servies battle songs. What a hoot; lots of phots taken, ...........Management then asked her to entertain the troops in a second dining room , which she did. A lot of fun and the Veterans got some recognition.
Becky, our wait person was informative, attentive and excellent!!!
Wonderful food and service, our party of three was more than pleased with everything.
Great way & place to celebrate w the veterans! Our guess really enjoyed being there for the first time!
Once again a wonderful meal, excellent service and great surroundings. As a military retiree I really appreciate what you do.
I have taken advantage of the vet meals for the past few years and am impressed with the service and generosity of McCormick and Schmick along with a great menu for the vets which are all prepared to a wonderful taste and aroma. All in my party were very grateful and pleased.
The service is always attentive, but not obtrusive. From the warm greeting to the several thank you's as you leave, the staff is uniformly gracious. The lunch portions are generous and the food is always prepared fresh and served quickly when it's ready. I've never had a meal that was less than delicious.
Thank you for honoring our nation's heroes by giving free meals to Veteran's in honor of Veteran's Day. My Grandpa has talked non-stop about your food and hospitality. It meant the world to him that so many of your employees stopped to thank him for his service, not to mention he enjoyed his fish and chips (he's a hard man to please!) We look forward to visiting you again soon.
Everytime we dine at McCormick & Schmick's Seafood - Edina, MN we have a delightful, delicious, dining experience. The service and the food are over the top and don't forget the desserts. Their Salmon and Coconut Cream Pie are out of this world. We try something new everytime we dine there and have never been disappointed. Kudo's to McCormick & Schmick's Seafood and their staff who are all exceptional.
Great restaurant. Good variety. Incomparable coconut pie. What more could you want?
I arrived early for my reservation and found seating in the bar area (open seating). Though I was there for a free Veteran's day meal, I was treated like visiting royalty. My food was prepared properly and was very delicious. The service was the absolute best and that was by everyone. A manager can by to inquire if everything was okay and told me to call on him if there was anything not to my liking. Having been there at other times, I know this is standard for McCormick and Schmick's, and I will always be a grateful patron!
Presentation/plating was very attractive. The crab "tower" was pretty short to be called a "tower." Flavor combination was interesting but not a great dish for sharing as it pretty much collapsed when spooned onto separate plates. I had braised sea scallops. Scallops were perfection but the bed of crab/potato hash would have been better if the potatoes were crisp and not mushy. Creme brule was yummy but I am a fan of a thicker, crunchier "crust" of caramelized sugar. This was just a dusting. Seemed a little stingy considering the depth of the creme brule.
Food was great, service very attentive and professional. Prices are a bit high.
Everything was wonderful from the courtesy of the hostess to the signing of our bill. It was a memorable dining experience with friends where we did not feel rushed.
My husband and I celebrated our 28th Wedding Anniversary at the Edina, MN McCormick and Schmick's Restaurant. We were greeted immediately and after a very short wait taken to our table. The rest of our dining experience was very nice. Over all an excellent experience.
The whole experience was wonderful. From the appetizers (Shrimp Kisses and Lump Crab Tower) to the entrees (the Sea Bass..melts in your mouth, and roasted fall vegetables) to the desserts (no splitting...each of us had to try something different) and coffee. So much to choose from, and all of it fabulous. Pricey, but worth it!
We had a great lunch at M&S. Lots of tasty choices, and large portions. The room was full and everyone seemed to be having a good time, just like us!
The best seafood I've ever had in my life was at McCormick and Schmick's Edina. The service was excellent and I plan to return often.
I am from Miami so good restaurants are a plus for me. The price is very similar to Miami prices and the meal over all was excellent. We actually had left overs of how overly full we were. We had an appetizer, two entrees, a glass of wine and a bottle of wine with dessert and the bill came out to 140.00..... I think it was a good price to pay for all we had. Every plate of food was amazing. The dessert was the icing on the cake. I never mix my chocolate with fruits but the Chocolate Box was Amazing. Fruits very fresh, makes me want to just go back for it. I ate a walleye that they somewhat deep fried it for me so it had a layer on top if it.... And OMG amazing as well. Just a great overall experience. We will definitely be back.
Very high quality food and great staff . The service was top notch and Dodd was prepared just to order
A really nice holiday dining experience for our large group of 12.
Ample amounts of very good food. Excellent service.
We went for Thanksgiving, as we have for a number of years. The foods is always good, and the service was first rate.
Having been to M & S before, I knew the food would be great. We decided to try it for Thanksgiving. It was fantastic! One of the best Thanksgiving dinners I have ever had. Everything was wonderful and the service was the BEST!
I took my friend to McCormicks because both of us were away from family. We were impressed with the service and the food was truly delicious. I would recommend it and I would surely come again. It helped heal the sadness of not being with family on a holiday. Thank you.
We were celebrating our Mom's 71st birthday. I asked for a quieter table and we were given a round table near a window. It felt like we were in our own room since it had half walls around it and even a curtain that I guess we could pull closed had we wanted to. Very good service, our waiter did forget to fill my husband's water glass, and he was not drinking alcohol or anything else, so that should have been a priority. And we did have to wait a while for drinks after we ordered them. We also had to wait a while to order as well. Food was very good.
My sister and I took my mother for lunch and had a wonderful time. Outstanding service by Derrick, delicious buttermilk fried shrimp, and the BEST martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives... with bacon bits!!! I would highly recommend this restaurant! No disappointments!
We were first timers and will definately return. Food and service were great.We dined early and it was very quiet.Things were picking up rapidly when we left.
Continued good service and food. We'll be sure to tell others about our experience and return as often as possible for lunch or dinner.
Met a friend here for dinner--the food was out of this world. Be sure to order the shrimp kisses as an appetizer. We both had the stuffed salmon, which was also spectacular. Staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. Will definitely go back!

Welcome to the forums RonanC
I will post back when I have some results, doing a review of the MATRIX right now.
great stuff, maybe this thread can be made sticky!?!
I am working on various performance metrics but since this is the Matrix owners club, thought id share some folding numbers and performance gains.
816, 900, 950, 1000mhz overclocks with GPU tweak and auto voltage lock.

nice results , I am in the process of testing my card atm will post results later
I see you can go up to 1.200 vcore on the last one, how are you achieving that the max I can go to is 1.150 ?
well if you increase your coreclock and you run a benchmark and it doesnt crash you're most likely ok. now you can test this by running games or stresstest with furmark which taxes the gpu hardcore. it should show you whether your gpu oc is stable. if not you can increase your voltages to add extra power to keep it stable. or just go the easy route and use gpu tweak and use the locked voltage and core adjustments which is preconfigured. you will still need to run stresstest to ensure its stability. you should be able to achieve 950-1000 on matrix. once you find a sweet spot you can try to lower your voltage to see where it will be stable at without using too much power/voltage

cheers for reply, Think I got a bad one
if I run anymore vcore other than stock my temps are hitting 95-100c even with fans on 100%
I dont seem to be getting artifacts when running furmark but rather a green screen followed by driver crash, temps are in the 90+ range when this happens, usually artifacts should appear first so I am thinking now that I may have a faulty card.
if I go anymore than 920 I have to up the vcore of coarse which in turn makes my temps go sky high, even using the locked-voltage and I set it at 950mhz and 100% fans I am crashing out and temps near 100c
this is the best I can do while keeping temps 85c
might try the h80 mod and see if things are better because I think its the heat thats holding me back, I thought 920 on stock vcore looked like it was going to be a promising card lol
hey guys,
I have been testing most of this afternoon and I have decided to rethink my overclocking procedures with this card, for anyone else like me who thought they had heat issues I no longer use FURMARK for testing and instead use UNIGINE 2.5 with 8x aa. FURMARK will overheat the GPU more than any game or benchmark will and will put the card to its thermal limit so unless under water I would not recommend using FURMARK.
My new results so far are :
1075 Vcore
Fans: AUTO @ 20%
Max Temp: 67c
I have reached the brick wall with the max volts that GPU Tweak will allow, 950 crashes while 948 is perfectly stable.
1150 Vcore
Fabs: AUTO@ 20%
Max Temp 70c
Next is to do some testing with upping the voltage on the board itself up to around 1180 and see where that takes me, after that I will mod the bios and push the voltage to 1200.
Your able to reach 1.293v off the overvoltage on the board itself before modding the bios but thats alot of volts if your mentioning your alrighty having heat issues. My max oc are higher using 3dMark11 vs Heaven 2.5 but both will allow me full voltages and still keep heat under 61c without crashing drivers. Note ive also modded a H70 to my matrix but even so i was able to reach 1000core/max voltage allowed by the Matrix with stock cooling and keep it at 92c. I agree that for a Matrix card you should not settle for under 1000 core/max voltage AND have heat controlled to sub 90c levels.
My cards max was 1027 benchmarkable (heaven 2.5) but i can run the flyby at 1067 (perhaps higher-just happen to be where i stopped the slider) but crashes the drivers when i benchmark it. 3dMark11 allows higher coreclocks but not by much...for me anyways. Seen you mentioned the "MOD" lol, need some help with that let me know, ive done two cards now.
Here is a screenshot of my latest benchmark. 1015core/1.293v/61c max temp
Ive been a bad boy and did some modding on my card.......again
Removed the IHS....lapped everything....applied new TIM....Artic Silver 5....H70 for cooling
Now i know i may have a difficult time with RMA but ill just deal with that if/when i need to. It should be noted right now that once you see this you cant unsee it and it may create the need to try it for yourself. BE WARNED! This will most likely void your warranty.
Now i know your going to look at this and think....so what! or big deal! its just a dude cooling his gpu with a H70.....been there done that. Now if you look closely youll notice the razerblade there also...hmmm, whats that for you may ask.

I developed a simple hack for this back in 2001, and a much better per-process patch was developed later. MSC.Nastran pointed to both of these at various times. However, at some point (I think during RHL8.0), a run-time optimization was introduced by some distros, including RHL and derivatives, that had the effect of pinning glibc to a specific address. The net was that changing TUMB by my primitive patch or the far-more-desirable per-process patch caused havoc as the brk/sbrk space collided with glibc. IIRC, the glibc updates with this optimization were made available back to RHL 7.2. I can dig out the specifics for anyone interested, but it is (was) plainly visible in the glibc spec file. Note: I did call this glibc pinning an optimization, as it did help the majority of users, despite the fact that it hurt some very specific codes... >There seems to also be some confusion - at least for me, and please >correct me if I am wrong here - about TUB and mmap vs. brk/sbrk. On IA32, the brk/sbrk space grows up, from above your program; heap grows down, from the top of the address space, and the mmap space is in the middle (note, the heap could also allocate from space below the mmap point). The patches described above move the TUMB up or down, affecting the partition point. > ... > Most "legacy" Fortran codes (including the one we sell) >allocate memory in one large chunk, so your compiler or glibc resp. >will use mmap to allocate and hence you are stuck with 2G.

I was taking four pills a day (2 in am + 2 in pm) for about 40 days when I had blood work done. The following info is what it is. I know there weren't any parameters put in place for a true scientific test, but I have to give the members this info and let them come to their own conclusions.
First off, I did not have blood work done before I started my cycle. Second, I took DHEA but only for the first two days of the cycle. Third, my nutritional and exercise habits weren't Jim Jupiter but they wern't Al Bundy either. I wasn't getting 40g of protein every 3 hours, but I wasn't eating junk food either. That all being said, here's my blood test results:
TOTAL TEST = 364 (range 262-1593)
FREE TEST = 2.69 (range 3.8-34.17)
The free test is so low that the Dr gave me a sample of Axiron testosterone topical solution, which he wants me to take for 30 days and have my blood tested again.
So that's it. Those are my numbers. I understand that I don't have any numbers from before the cycle. I admit that my health habits have not been exemplary. I even admit that I thought my body was responding better to my workouts than pre-cycle. But the numbers speak for themselves as far as what Triazole has done for me. Could it be something in my genetic makeup? Maybe. Could it be that I had even lower test before the cycle? Highly doubtful.
It's also worth mentioning that my sexual ability was poor and desire was low during my cycle. I wasn't (and still am not) ready to necessarliy blame that on Triazole, as I have had desire problems for several years, and bad sex always occurs when I force myself to engage without the proper level of desire. However it is worth mentioning, because even if it was just my regular period of low desire, Triazole sure as hell didn't make it any better.
So I'm just putting that out there. Some people swear by the stuff, but it wasn't for me. I just figured I'd give members my take on it and let them make up their own minds about taking it. I don't think I have anything to add but am willing to answer any questions.

In the Media
Business Forum: Subprime borrowers need more protection By Jeff Sovern Pittsburgh Post-Gazette May 12, 2012 Unfortunately, unlike restaurant safety, loan disclosures cannot simply be boiled down to a single A, B or C. Loan disclosures, to be useful, require some degree of complexity. And that complexity is too much for some consumers.
Requiring disclosures for those who cannot understand them is pointless. We need to focus on understanding in borrowing rather than simply disclosure. Otherwise, we must accept that some borrowers will not understand what they are pledging to do, with the consequent risks of default and another Great Recession.

F1 discussion
This has been rumored for years now, that Mallya is in heavy, heavy debt and has been unable to refinance loans or to raise any money. I heard years ago that he never actually made any money, but that he finances his lifestyle on loans etc. and that lifestyle gives the impression that he is a good businessman.
I spoke to an analyst in the height of the crash who said that there was no way that Kingfisher was profitable. He was leading on both Boeing and Airbus with new plane orders that he would later have to cancel, and none of his routes were profitable.
It seems to be all coming to ahead now. Joe Saward was one of the first to write about this publicly, that Force India will be in trouble because of Mallya, but the Telegraph has now picked up the story as well:
Last month, Mr Mallya was forced to put on brave smile to announce a deal for a rival tycoon to become an equal partner in Force India in exchange for a £60 million investment on the eve of India's first ever Grand Prix.
Interesting choice of words.
Well you know what they say… 'The easiest way to become a millionaire is to become a billionaire… and then get into the airline industry'
I dont know what to think of it. How could you be able to have an airline and an F1 team when you're in a lot of debt but in modern times evereything is possible. Those loan must be of a substantional amount of money to keep up the lifestyle
Is it just me, or does Vijay Mallya come across as quite condescending in latest round of Tweets? He seems particularly critical of the media for not giving him a lunch break. Yes, he spent six hours in front of the media … but surely he should be more worried about the fact that he spent six hours in front of the media. That's not a good sign. When Qantas' CEO grounded the airliner recently, he did not spend six hours in front of the media despite successfully becoming the most-hated person in Australia (and if you know anything about Australian politics, then you know just how big an achievement this is). If Michel Mol has any sense, he'll use his 10% stake in the team to join together with the Sahara Group and squeeze Mallya out.
Do we have any Indian members here? Or anyone who speaks Hindi? Because a thought has occurred to me: the Italian teams use Italian team names ("Scuderia"). The French teams (used to) use French names ("Equipe"). So, maybe an Indian team could use an Indian name. "Grand Prix" is French for "Grand Prize", so I wonder what the Hindi translation of "Sahara Grand Prix" is. I managed to find an online English-Hindi translator that didn't translate into Hindi script, and I've come up with a few possible ideas – but, not knowing the grammatical rules that govern the language, I can't be sure if they're right (and knowing my luck, they're probably offensive):
- Sahara Vishaal Inaam - Sahara Vrihat Inaam - Sahara Badhiya Inaam - Sahara Mahaan Inaam
Is there anyone here who might be able to offer some insight?
What you wrote literally translated –
- Sahara is a big prize - Sahara is a strong reward (I think .. not sure about the vrihat) - Sahara is a great prize - Sahara is a famous prize
Take your pick. I think Mahaan Inaam actually fits the bill
Hey all, longtime reader and first time poster from the US here.
If the reports turn out to be true (which I believe they will), it's a shame for Force India. A perennial backmarker who in the past 3 years has made some considerable strides thanks to the work Mallya, or more likely people under his employ, put in. I'm no expert on the matter, but a few years back I talked to a friend of mine (& fellow F1 fan) about Force India and Mallya, and he indicated that the Indian people don't think very highly of him.
I don't like Vijay Mallya at all (I particularly hate that preened goatee of his), but I'd always take what Joes Saward says about him with a pinch of salt. Saward seems to have built up quite a vendetta towards him
@ned-flanders – Saward's vendetta comes from Mallya's decision to drop Tonio Liuzzi in favour of Paul di Resta. Saward has long been flying the flag for Tonio, and was very upset when Mallya released him from his contract. But I think what really fuelled the fire was the reaction to Saward's next articles. He suggested that because Liuzzi was under contract, he had a legal claim to the seat, and would challenge for it. Saward also insinuated that Liuzzi's case was strong enough that a court would surely side with him and Liuzzi would race with Force India this year. The reactions to it were almost overwhelmingly negative.
Oh yeah, I completely forgot about that! Probably because Saward's love for Liuzzi seems to have cooled considerably this year
I think Saward is just playing it careful lest he say something that results in his readers turning on him again (which they already have done when he accused Mallya of "lying" when Mallya denied selling Force India).
Who really Saward's rants seriously anyways? The guys is a Liuzzi fan for Pete's sake!
Well this sounds kinda plausible but just how on Earth does the get hold of loans so easily? Doesn't add up for me.
It's simple: he convinces the banks that he has a viable business model.
@andrewtanner what the other guys say about Saward is right, he did have a hard-on for Tonio (they go back a ways, apparently), but the latest round of reports about Mallya is all coming from the financial press, who have probably been tipped off by one of his debtors
It is very easy to become a billionaire using loans. You just have to hide your loanees from one another. For eg. Liverpool Football Club was purchased for a few hundred million pounds by a couple of Americans. They finance the deal using debt and a deposit of 10%, and the remainder of the debt secured against the actual club. It turns out that the 10% deposit itself was also a loan – albeit one with a much higher interest rate. This is how leveraged buyouts work.
They finance their personal lifestyle by paying themselves large salaries and expenses out of the companies they buy or setup. It works until the economy slows down and the growth in revenue can no longer match interest payments on the pyramid of loans. This is why guys like Mallya and the old owners of Liverpool FC go down with the slightest downward move in the economy – they are so leveraged that even a 25 bp spike in interest rates, or lower revenue growth (lower *growth*, not lower revenue) can see them wiped out.
It is easy to buy up assets using other peoples money and some showmanship (banks lend money to people who convince them to lend it). It is much harder to build a sustainable and profitable business.

I'm brand new to roleplayer guild (obviously, or I wouldn't be posting here). However, I am not new to roleplaying. I've been roleplaying since I was approximately 12 (I've been creatively writing much longer than this, mind you) and absolutely adore it as an outlet for my creativity and a way to further my skills as a writer. I enjoy a very, very wide variety of genres.
I've been out of the roleplaying scene for awhile, most unfortunately but thanks to a IRL friend of mine introducing me to this site, I hope I can jump right back in.
Next to writing I quite enjoy music, books (obviously), and general creativeness because fun and stuff and blah blah blah this is a list of stuff I like blah blah blah.
But anyways, I hope to have fun on this site. It seems like the people here are friendly so I hope that goal should be fairly easy to meet
