Eco-friendly, fun to play, and a great value!
The Seagull Coastline S6 GT is a dreadnought acoustic guitar with a burst finish that exudes the flash of some other acoustic guitars but with earthy colors that retain the natural look of wood.
There's just something classic about a sunburst finish on an acoustic guitar, and it has always been a popular choice.
Seagull Coastline series guitars are one of the world's outstanding values in acoustic guitars. The back and sides of the Coastline series guitars are made from a 3-layer lamination of wild cherry wood. Seagull Coastline series guitars also feature very smooth necks made from Silver Leaf Maple.
With a sound that lands somewhere between the mellow tone of a mahogany guitar and the bright sound of maple, wild cherry has proven itself to be an excellent guitar tone wood. Grown locally, wild cherry is also an ecologically friendly choice.

Could the common cold become a thing of the past? Scientists have unraveled the genetic code for all 99 strains of the rhinovirus, but there may be a disconnect between excitement over the feat in the lab versus at pharmaceutical companies that would ordinarily develop a cure or vaccine against infection.
The discovery, published this week in Science, means that, in theory, drug or vaccine developers have a map of possible targets against the cold virus. "There is real promise now, based on full understanding of this virus, that we have never had before," study co-author Stephen Liggett, a professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, told the Baltimore Sun. "Let's get, perhaps, a single pill [that] will kill the virus that day, that moment, and within six hours you are cured. It is possible."
But drug industry analysts are less enthusiastic. The cold might knock you out for a week or so, but it's not a major health threat to most people, raising the question of whether patients would bother paying for medicine, notes the New York Times. Relenza and Tamiflu, two antiviral drugs against another common virus, the flu, do work, but aren't big moneymakers for manufacturers. Add to that the $700 million cost of developing a new medicine, and companies might not bother, experts told the newspaper.
Nonetheless, Fernando Martinez, a professor at the University of Arizona, told the Times that "it would be an extraordinary advance" if scientists could make anti-virals against the forms of the cold most likely to sicken asthma patients, who suffer more than most people when they catch a cold. In the interim, a good night's sleep may stop you from catching cold. And short of that … there's always grandma's chicken soup.

It is really a shame when a drug company devalue human health to the point where it is not profitable enough to cure or heal. This drug that can cure the common cold would be sold all over the world and a world wide sell is not profitable enough for the drug companies. I think we should start looking at a different drug company to manufacture this drug and all our other drugs. These greedy companies want to keep people sick and dieing so they can make a buck off them. There is something wrong about these drug companies and like Peanut Corp. of America, should be shut down.

I'm not convenienced just yet there isn't one pharmaceutical company or nation on earth willing to invest in developing a vaccine and or medicine from this truly species advancing brake through. Although chicken soup is soothing it's balm wares off when the bowl empties. It's my sense a cure for the cold-sick would be like adoration to the love-sick, irresistible.

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI beg to differ....Capitalism is the engine of empowerment and incentive. The greatest scientific achievements have come from Capitalistic endeavors. Big Government needs to get out of the way, and let the Free Market work! I don't want lawyers telling us which drugs to make and for whom and at what price! Government kills incentive and squashes creativity for the"common good". Socialism has never worked anywhere it has been tried. Because, as Orwell said it so well, "All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others".
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisMr. Artu; if the United States does not develop the vaccine, they will not allow it to come into the country. Turkey developed a cure for diabetes nearly 3,000 years ago and the US still will not allow the formula to be made in the US. The US designed a cure, not a cover up, for cancer in 1953 and because a Mexican doctor developed it, the US will not allow it to be practiced in the US. So you see, if the US doesn't design it, make it, and develop it, they will not allow it to be used in the country.

True that capitalism and the free market make the quest for cures worth the effort.But it also has been the reason for false claims and using the FDA and other means to discourage any who might compete.The price of medicine made and sold in USA is higher then Canada/overseas because if the other countries would make their own copy of it if it was to high,like the flu vaccine a few years back,the USA had a short supply and Europe had plenty{made in France} As for claims of healing and cures in all of the world for many kinds of sickness, who knows for sure about anything when it comes to the power of the human mind and body.

Such efforts can produce other benefits and boost the bottom line. After Replacements Ltd., a retailer selling china, crystal, and silver in Greensboro, N.C., introduced regular activity breaks into employees' routines several years ago, morale went up and complaints of musculoskeletal disorders went down among those who participated. Companies can also reap savings in healthcare costs. "For every person we help prevent get diabetes, we save the company $10,000 per year ... every year," says James Levine, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., who has studied the effects of inactivity and who helped create an early treadmill desk.
How sitting hurts. When people sit or lie for hours at a time, the muscles—particularly the large ones in the leg and back—go dormant, setting off some dangerous metabolic consequences. "Sitting shuts down electrical activity in the legs," says Toni Yancey, a professor of health services at UCLA's Fielding School of Public Health. "It makes the body less sensitive to insulin, causes calorie-burning to plummet, and slows the breakdown of dangerous blood fats, lowering 'good' HDL cholesterol."
In fact, just one day of inactivity reduced insulin action in a small group of men and women by about 40 percent in a 2011 study from the Department of Kinesiology at the University of Massachusetts–Amherst and the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, La. Vernikos likens hours of continuous or uninterrupted sitting to the weightlessness that astronauts experience in space. "The absence of gravity even for a few days accelerates astronauts' degeneration, inducing harmful changes we typically associate with aging," she says.
The human body evolved to function with the constant downward pull of gravity. Without it, the heart shrinks, blood volume plunges, muscles atrophy, fat replaces muscle, and bone mass decreases. Even the immune system is weakened, with wounds taking longer to heal and infections more likely. When astronauts return to Earth, however, gravity helps them rebound by stimulating the bones, muscles, and other body systems. The more you work against gravity, the greater these systems respond. The key to optimal functioning, Vernikos says, is making as much use of gravity as possible. "That means increasing the number of small, low-intensity movements you make throughout the day as you go about the business of living," she says. "Humans today use much less gravity than our ancestors did throughout history."
Research bears out Vernikos's advice. A 2008 study from the Cancer Prevention Research Centre at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, showed that people who took the most breaks from sedentary time had on average a smaller waist size, a lower body mass index, and reduced triglycerides, a particularly unhealthy type of blood fat. The latest study shows that interrupting sitting time with two-minute bouts of walking every 20 minutes significantly improves glucose metabolism. "Importantly, walking at a light pace and walking at a moderate pace yielded almost identical responses," says lead author David Dunstan, associate professor at the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute in Melbourne, Australia. "That suggests that the frequency of physical movement is the most important consideration, not the intensity of the movement." Standing up to take a stretch, getting a drink of water, or marching in place for a few minutes all count toward better health.
But don't ditch your running shoes or gym membership, experts say. Standard exercise guidelines—30 minutes a day of moderate to vigorous exercise, five times a week—still apply. Indeed, this prescription has been shown to lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels and metabolism, and lower the risk of some cancers. "The goal is to minimize sitting, especially continuous sitting, and follow a regular exercise program," says Timothy Church, an investigator at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center.

text: Home Culture Young, Brave and Freedom Bound Fifty years ago a group of young people rode buses south and faced vicious, state-condoned brutality with nonviolence. Participants told The Root how they emerged bloodied, bruised and victorious. By: Lewis Beale Posted: May 16 2011 11:14 AM 0 Courtesy of PBS Fifty years ago this month, a group of 13 men and women, seven black and six white, left Washington, D.C., on two buses bound for New Orleans. They never made it. Ten days later, on May 14, 1961, one of the vehicles was attacked by a white mob in Anniston, Ala., the bus set on fire and the riders beaten up. The local police and state troopers made no effort to stop the violence, and the governor of the state, referring to the integrated group of passengers, sarcastically remarked that "you can't guarantee the safety of a fool." That same day, the other bus pulled into the terminal in Birmingham, Ala., where it was met by a mob of 1,000 people who proceeded to viciously beat the riders. But as Freedom Riders, a stunning two-hour documentary being broadcast by PBS on May 16 at 9 p.m. (EST) (and reviewed by Stanley Crouch for The Root last year) demonstrates, these nonviolent activists never gave up -- and, in doing so, managed to effect real change. "We did what all oppressed people have done throughout human history," says Hank Thomas, 70, a former Freedom Rider who was a Howard University student at the time. "You try to change things, and you pay a price for it. But you do what you have to do." "[The riders] did not want to live, or their children to live, the way their parents had lived," adds Stanley Nelson, the documentary's writer-director. "These kids did not come out of nowhere. Every generation of African Americans had done what they could to move forward." Trained in the nonviolent techniques of Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., the group was organized by the Congress of Racial Equality and included Stokely Carmichael and current U.S. Rep. John Lewis. They set out to test whether a Supreme Court decision mandating integrated facilities in interstate bus travel was actually being implemented south of the Mason-Dixon Line. They had little trouble until they reached Alabama, which, along with Mississippi, was, says Nelson, something of a "no-fly zone" because of the level of violence directed against blacks. And in fact, some factions of the movement felt that what the riders were doing was a bit too confrontational and in-your-face, literally inviting aggressive reaction. "Nonviolence by its very nature is confrontational," says Charles Person, 68, a former Morehouse College student who was the youngest of the first group of Freedom Riders on that trip. "You don't have a weapon, so you have to make [your opponents] feel uncomfortable." This was brave enough. Even braver was the fact that after the buses were attacked, and the riders eventually found themselves stuck in Birmingham -- where the Greyhound company could not find a driver willing to continue the trip -- another wave of Freedom Riders, based in Nashville, Tenn., and allied with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, decided to finish what the first group had started. What ensued from that point on was a complicated social and political dance that involved the activists, the governors of Alabama and Mississippi and the Kennedy administration, which, more concerned with international affairs, reluctantly stepped in when it realized that local authorities would do little or nothing to protect the riders from Klan-inspired mobs.

The Battle For The Suburbs
Silicon Valley Is No Happy Valley For GOP
Lawrence C. Levy
Wednesday September 18, 1996
Return to Table of Contents
SUBURBIA IS the battleground for everything from consumer-product makers to politicians. If the ever-expanding land between urban and rural America is as much a state of mind as it is a series of oft-caricatured places, everyone from social scientists to marketing executives still argues over exactly what and sometimes even where the suburbs are. What about hard-scrabble, high-rise Hempstead Village, which sits at the heart of Nassau County yet has the racial and economic demographics - and all the problems - of an urban center? What about comely, quiet Douglaston in Queens, which is as white and prosperous as any suburban burgh?
For my purposes, and to most political strategists, a suburb is any community within a realistic commuting distance of a big city and with its own local government and strong civic identity. (I draw the line, for instance, at exurban east-ern Brookhaven.) What nobody disputes is that capturing the votes of those well-educated, relatively high-income en-campments along the "Crabgrass Frontier," as Columbia University suburban expert Ken Jackson calls them, is espe-cially crucial to the major political parties. These independent-minded, often moderate "swing" voters hold the key to controlling every office from the White House to state houses to city halls and county seats.
During this election season, I'll visit some of these battleground suburbs. This is the first in a series of political slices of life.
-- -- --
If Long Island is the archetypal American suburb, the first and once fastest-growing baby-boom bedroom refuge, then Silicon Valley is Generation X - the cutting edge, the New Wave.
The towns and small cities between San Francisco and San Jose, from Burlingame and Atherton to Sunnyvale and Mountain View, look like a traditional suburb. The terrain - ocean and bay beaches separated by gnarly hills plunging to a broad dry plain - is more dramatic than most. All year long, cyclists get to take aim at joggers clogging the San Mateo Park trails that drop to the San Andreas reservoir and a stone marker announcing the exact route of the world's most famous tectonic fault.
Home prices are the highest anywhere, and not just in the million-dollar mountainside digs, which somehow man-age to survive both economic and actual earthquakes in the nation's richest neighborhoods. Expect to pay $400,000 for a modest, three-bedroom home on little land. But by and large, like most other suburbs, those in San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties are low-rise, strip-malled sprawlvilles choked with traffic. El Camino Real rivals Jericho Turnpike for delis, hair salons and fast-food fiefdoms. If not for the spectacular coastal range and enormous eucalyptus trees, you could be crawling along any suburban artery.
What makes Silicon Valley very different from many older suburbs is not only that it's growing but why - the allure of its widely envied high-tech industries. It is a place where people live and work in increasing numbers. As with high-tech Sunnyvale, enshrined in the book "Reinventing Government" for its creatively efficient bureaucrats, the San Fran-cisco-San Jose suburbs are an economic engine unto themselves: More people commute to Sunnyvale's computer and electronics firms than leave each day for jobs elsewhere. (Its population is 125,000 but its work force is 135,000.) And those who do leave Sunnyvale to work increasingly drive to other suburban towns, not core cities.
What also makes this area different from many suburbs is its politics: In some ways its sensibilities may be conser-vative, as a Burlingame restaurateur found out when his place was boycotted and became a cause celebre at city hall after he dared paint it in tropical colors. But northern California's suburbs are about the most easy-goingly liberal in America.
Environmental protection, women's rights, good-government reform, education and job-training programs are em-braced with such zeal they might as well be civic religion. Hardly any successful candidate for any office opposes abor-tion rights or open-space preservation. In national elections, Democrats usually carry carry northern California, although the area often sends moderate or liberal Republicans to Congress, the state legislature and even county seats.
But, as the national Republican Party has come to be dominated by social and religious conservatives, home-grown Republicans at all levels are finding a harder time connecting with voters. Bill Clinton's lead of nearly 30 points in northern California could put this state's 54 electoral votes out of Bob Dole's reach, as it did for George Bush in 1992. As Jim Roberts, a Sunnyvale city councilman and moderate Republican activist, put it, "Unfortunately, the party has moved away from us."
To stay alive, most Republicans running anywhere near the San Andreas fault take a page out of Clinton's survival guide. If the president has regained his popularity by acting more like moderate Republicans, northern California Re-publicans such as Rep. Tom Campbell win by acting more like New Democrats. As a Washington aide to Newt Gin-grich sniffed, "There's a lot of folks here who don't consider Campbell a Republican at all."
Where the GOP has a serious new problem is with the people who should make up its base - the high-tech suburban businesses that have made Silicon Valley a symbol of the future. Last month, for instance, some 75 computer executives - many of them Republicans - met at the headquarters of desktop publishing software maker Adobe Systems Inc. to en-dorse the Bill Clinton-Al Gore ticket. Suits barely outnumbered open-necked shirts, the dress code was the only thing laid back about this go-go crowd.
"Silicon Valley doesn't traditonally look for handouts; it doesn't look for special tax credits," said Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer and now head of Pixar Animation Studios. "What it looks for is a solid business climate based on economic policy that makes sense. And I think we feel we've had that over the last four years."
National Republicans would be silly to write off this event as northern California foolishness, a sort of political Stockholm Syndrome in which normally Republican businessmen have come to identify with their region.
What these information-age hall-of-famers, people known all over the world as computer pioneers, are saying is that not only the GOP's candidate but its platform and key leaders are way out of step with where America should be going. After watching the GOP convention closely the prior week, Adobe CEO John Warnock said, shaking his head: "We heard a lot of backward thinking, looking into the past and reminiscing about the good old times. High-tech busi-ness - we live in the future."
The current and former execs from Hewlett Packard, Silicon Graphics, Xerox, Adobe, Autodesk and others have found a lot to like about Clinton, about the new direction he represents for the Democratic Party. They liked his willing-ness to confront the deficit - even if it meant risking his popularity by raising taxes - which brought down interest rates and made it easier to raise capital. They liked his surprise (and opportunistic) opposition to a stateballot initiative that would make it easier for shareholders to sue companies. They also cited his seriousness about reducing governmental bureaucracy and his commitment to free trade and, most importantly, investing in education and job-training.
After all, most of the technology for their inventions and innovations come from research institutions, such as Stan-ford University, that rely heavily on funding from government. Without government backing, whether it's through un-derwriting research at universities or procuring cuttingedge technology from these companies, they might be out of business - especially in competing against firms in Japan and other techno-tigers heavily subsidized by their own na-tional treasuries. Hardly responding to typical GOP government-bashing, they value the public-private partnerships run by super-efficient Sunnyvale and aided with federal funds that retrain high-tech workers whose specialties often become obsolete every few years.
These executives also have no taste for an insidious strain of immigrant bashing that they've heard mostly from Re-publicans, when so many key people in their industries come from other countries. As Robyn Parker, a Hewlett Packard manager and mayor of Sunnyvale, put it: "Intolerance is intolerable here; diversity is somethng we celebrate and sell." Parker should know. In a city in which less than 4 percent of the people are black - like her - voters had no problem electing her by overwhelming margins.
If the suburbs are going high-tech, as Long Island and others are trying to do to revive themselves, and if they're even more the key to political success, then what's happening to Republicans in Silicon Valley suggests the party is in danger of burning a key bridge to the future.
But the message is not just for conservative Republicans, who consider moderates such as Tom Campbell to be Democrats in disguise. Suburbanites aren't comfortable with extremists of any ilk. So Silicon Valley also offers a red flag for Democrats trying to become a majority party again. If they continue to see words such as corporation and free trade as epithets and generally resist Clinton's overtures to Wall Street and Main Street, Democrats could burn their own new bridges.

Blood Pressure Monitors Provide Important Information
Blood Pressure Monitors Provide Important Information
Blood pressure monitors measure and often save information that will help a doctor make important decisions about patients. Blood pressure is an important vital sign that is usually measured at every visit to a doctor. The nurse will usually take the blood pressure of a patient before any other business is completed at a doctor's office. Sometimes patients are nervous when they are at the doctor's office and the blood pressure measurements are not accurate. The doctor will often recommend that a patient get a blood pressure monitor if the numbers are high. These devices can then be used at home when the patient is more relaxed.

Here are the processes I have running: If you want I can post a list of how my services are setup, but obviously that varies depending on what you need. Edit: that includes my antivirus and Logitech Setpoint - everything is working fine and pretty quick
you've got loads less than mine jimmy. can you post how they are setup please? it will give me a few pointers.have you disabled some then? i 'ave'nt got a clue in vista as to what HAS to be running or not.thx
Just writing up what I've done so far - should upload it by this evening. Could I ask a favour from you? Would someone who has Vista installed be able to export the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\WSCSVC" and upload it to techPowerUp!? It's related to Windows Security Center (which I don't use) but I have deleted it and although it's no longer too important to me I think I should have disabled it another way (I disabled the service but it kept on giving me messages so I got rid of that). Don't worry too much if you can't, but it would be useful.
Cheers, tigger, worked great I'll post the info about how my services are setup in a bit, quite a bit to write about though - there are so many
http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?p=254128#post254128 A tweaks thread for Vista. Only has the services at the moment - be careful if you use it because it is all still new to be.
xcuse me, i'm having a problem with winrar and Vista. when I right-click and click "extract to.." then it doesn't do anything !! I have to open the file, then the allow or cancel confirmations and then clicking extract. this totally bloats the shell extension functions of winrar.

The two biggest problems I've had is my sound card stopped working, but a quick re-install of the drivers fixed that. I'm also having trouble with imbedded WMA videos loading in Firefox, because it is trying to use Windows Media Player 10, rather than 11. That's not a big problem either, I just haven't got around to fixing it. Does anyone else have an extrememly long log off and shut down time though?
Ahhh, cool... yea, you DID startup doing a "services tuning guide" testing thread here, & that's a GOOD PLACE TO START OUT FROM, doing this type of 'madness-N-lunacy', but, well worth it. I was AMAZED @ the amount of services VISTA runs, by default, shown here & in that other URL thread... VISTA, by default, runs even MORE services than Windows Server 2003 (default workstation/pro setup that is, before adding server-class apps like IIS to it) has by default... which is quite a lot more than XP has in fact. It'll take you some time, but it will be worth doing/testing for services, & then, were I you? I would start trying the 'hacks/tweaks' noted in the System Optimization thread here that work for 2000/XP/Server 2003. (Tweak/tune/test for speed @ first, & MAYBE, for registry related security hacks as well - there ARE those, such as disabling DCOM/COM+ remote access for instance (just one of MANY possible mind you for added security)). I would wager, again as I said in that thread above iirc, that MOST of what works for 2000/XP/Server 2003, registry hacks-wise for speed (such as numerous memory/thread/cpu based ones) AND security WILL work for VISTA - makes sense, if you think about it: It's "core code" IS based off of Windows Server 2003... In fact, if/when you ever get to THAT stage (past just services tuning)? If you want some .reg files that have ALL of what I personally do to a 2000/XP/Server 2003 rig?? Let me know... there are around 20 .reg files, FULLY INTERNALLY DOCUMENTED on each setting as to what they do, w/ supporting URL's from Microsoft inside them to validate the descriptions I used! Took me around 1 year to build those .reg files like that, but they are awesome, save time, & fully internally documented (best part). LET ME KNOW. APK P.S.=> Honestly: Were I running VISTA now, I would join you guys in testing this stuff & add a TON of things that either work, or not, from the "System Optimization Thread" here & the specific parts I added to it... which DO go a great deal above & beyond what that thread lists, because some of it is PURE .reg file hacking stuff, for speed & security, that most folks do NOT get into... but, they work! (& only reason I have not bought VISTA yet is that I had to repair the furnace here because it broke (not all of it, it is 'component based' like PC's &/or cars are, like most stuff today is) in part (thermocouple & pilot assembly) & ran me $100 ONLY, thank God, but that is ENOUGH to 'upset my budget & savings schedule plan' I use, to make me 'hold off' still... plus, I have to admit: I do NOT like the "DRM" b.s. &/or OpenGL being 'phased out' to do API call translation to DirectX 10 as it does, slowing OpenGL games down (I only play IDSoftware games really, & they are OpenGL) too much, & making them look "phunny"... this honestly DOES bother me - because it makes NO sense to 'cripple' parts of a NEW OS, vs. its earlier predecessors. That is 'downgrading' it imo. Plus, I like Windows Server 2003, a LOT! However, I am ITCHING to try VISTA... In fact, I just got off the phone w/ a buddy who has it on a gateway laptop he JUST got today (ATI video integrated, & CoreDuo CPU by INTEL) & he likes it a lot... & so did my other buddy who's house he was @, & they have similar tastes to mine, so it's got me 'itching to try VISTA', just listening to them talk about it w/ me on the horn as we spoke, they were BOTH pretty "enthusiastic' (one who owns laptop is typical end-user, & buddy who's place he was at is more of a "power-user")... apk
@jimmy,i have discovered a problem. like on xp pro,i changed the location of my documents by right clicking the my docs on the start menu,and clicking properties/move. but vista has a problem with that and some times i could'nt get to my docs properlie or some progs cant find it. so i have kinda moved it back.now the button for it on the start menu no longer works.if i click it,it does nothing and if i right click it,the options are a bit screwed up- also,in this folder,all the folders in it are not hidden,the documents folder is hidden,but i cant un hide it.how do i unhide it?- the only way i have access to the docs folder is with a shortcut. were is the registry place for them buttons on the start menu? can i edit the reg to point the button back to the documents folder at-c:\users\ti66er\documents? i hope you can help jim.
I have a question when i try and enable Crossfire, in Vista's, it does not reconize the display device
Tried re-installing the drivers? Tigger, I'll take a look and see what I can find out and then get back to you. I had a similar type of problem in XP - the problem is there are few different places that Windows seems to store the info and you'll need to change the right one otherwise it will revert back to what it was
I get this picture in my mind, for THIS thread, lol... "As the beakers bubble, & the 'jacob's ladders' send their bolts of lightning thru the cobwebbed laboratory..." (THE 'MAD SCIENTISTS' @ TECHPOWERUP.COM FORUMS ARE HARD @ WORK TUNING/TWEAKING VISTA!) * LOL! APK P.S.=> Bit of "nerdy humor" there for your day today folks... apk
Well, like I said before? I don't use VISTA (yet) but, since you asked this question?? Here is some feedback on it: Windows ReadyBoost Put To The Test For Gaming http://www.legitreviews.com/article/455/1/ * That ought to 'shed some light' on this NEW technology present in VISTA! APK P.S.=> Especially for folks here, as I have noted that MOST of you tend to stress the gaming performance aspect of things... so, that said? I figure this would interest the lot of you... & answer your question Athlon! Enjoy the read! apk
ReadyBoost is a nice idea if you have old (and fairly quick) flash drives that you don't use, but it won't really make much difference on a system with 1GB of ram or more, maybe slightly quicker application loading times. I don't bother to use it - superfetching seems to do a slightly better job than XP's prefetching, I think it makes Vista more responsive than XP is at loading certain things. I think Vista must be good at freeing up ram when it's needed too - my 3Dmark05 score is more or less the same in Vista and XP despite Vista appearing as a resource hog using as much as 50% of the ram even with loads of services disabled.
One word for that, imo & on a guess: Caching... * My guess is that has altered to eat up as much free RAM as is possible... This train-of-thought seems to be the trend out there today for ALL applications, in OS + caching design. Trust me, I know, from having a hell of a debate w/ Dr. Mark Russinovich & many arstechnica people @ Windows IT Pro magazine forums from 2003, up to today! And, yet again, & that bunch from Arstechnica & "the good doctor" were unable to disprove my list of 15 points, many dealing in cache effectiveness or not, & w/ server class apps like Exchange Server & IBM DB/2 which can have the caching performed by the OS, affect them adversely... See, once more/recently, some folks there put up comments on it again, so I replied in kind. (DB/2 &-or Exchange do BETTER w/ free & contiguous unfragmented RAM, period, & straight from both oem horses' mouths @ MS & IBM w/ proofs from them on that note!) Hey - I only 'attacked' when I was attacked, & made a simple challenge - disprove the 15 points I put up, OR shut up. ANYHOW/ANYWAYS: So, even freeing up RAM by tuning services (cutting off ones you DON'T need) will be 'negated' by this, but that's not so bad! Hey - you STILL save CPU cycles & other forms of I/O those services were performing & freeing them up for what you DO use! (I also recall that VISTA has some differences in it as well regarding how effectively it utilizes the L1-L2-L3 cache levels, depending on the mobo & CPU setup present, etc. but I don't have the link illustrating/stating that immediately available... I will try to find it though!) APK P.S.=> Like that photo above Jimmy2004? LOL, w/ this thread, it's YOU... apk

Hidden wedge does indeed give you height, but again as with last pair of shoes bought from superdry, the "heel" part of the shoe doesnt cover your heel, only half way up, which makes it feel like the shoe is slipping off your foot. Had to send back.

Royal Pain
Crank Call
So, they're going to fry the Sniper, are they? Good work, America! Evidently, John Moo-ha-ha Muhammad, the elder of the two snipers under charge, never actually pulled the trigger of the gun that killed 13 people last year in the Washington, D.C., area. But he's going to his death all the same, inasmuch as the "strong influence" he had on his (just barely) underage accomplice, Lee Boyd Malvo, is thought to have been the, uh, trigger for Malvo's murder spree.
Got it? Malvo will undoubtedly get off, in one way or another, either by grace of his youth or on grounds of insanity. But Muhammad will die, because -- well, his name is Muhammad, he's black, and his crimes were not sanctioned by the U.S. military. The only way you get to kill other people lawfully in this country is by going to war. Then you can do whatever you want.
Please understand me -- I'm trying to keep up. I was all set to write about President Bush's trip to England when this Muhammad thing came up, Michael Jackson got arrested for child molestation, and People ran a cover story featuring Amber Frey, "The Other Woman" in the Laci-Peterson-and-Her-Unborn-Son-Connor murder trial in California. Laci's husband, and Connor's father, Scott Peterson, is charged with killing them both a couple of Christmases ago -- again, without sanction of warfare and therefore, you know, illegally.
Talk about dumb! All he had to do was go to Iraq or Afghanistan and he could have killed anyone he wanted! For that matter, I expect he could do it here, provided the person he murdered was suspected of "terrorism" or its intent. The war on terror is going to be won, you see, by terror, terror and more terror. It's in the Bible -- "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," et cetera, ad nauseum and infinitum.
"If they think they are going to somehow weaken us or make us think, well, let's shuffle to the back of the queue and hide away from this, they are wrong," said British Prime Minister Tony Blair last week in London, during a press conference with Dubya that was staged only hours after a couple of bombs went off in Turkey and killed dozens of people. Among the dead was the British consul-general in Istanbul -- that is to say, a white man, one of ours, and thus an "innocent victim" of the evil-doers.
You might think a lot of Turks walking past the consulate that day were innocent, too, but you're forgetting their crazy clothes and nutty religion, which promises martyrs -- sorry, girls, only males! -- a big banquet in heaven and 70 virgins apiece if they give up their lives for Allah.
Thank God we don't have people like that in this country. We'll make do with the Ten Commandments, if "liberals," "leftists" and "a runaway judiciary" don't sabotage the intent of the Founding Fathers by making us all marry homosexuals under penalty of law!
Of course, foreigners are funny to begin with, as President and Mrs. Bush can tell you after their visit to London. Not only did the Queen serve five kinds of wine at the official banquet in Buckingham Palace; she wouldn't even give Dubya a Coke when he asked for one.
Cripes! And these are our friends, our "coalition" partners! They played the theme song from Titanic at the dinner party, along with "tunes from South Pacific," "Greensleeves" and "It's Now or Never." And still the people went tramping through the streets 100,000 strong, or 200,000 if you believe the protest organizers.
Let's meet in the middle and say it was 150,000 -- that's still a lot of liberals and leftists who don't seem to know what freedom means, who don't know how lucky they are to be able to gather and protest in any way they want. True, Bush never saw them, shielded as he was from all signs of disagreement. And when he says that the Iraqi people weren't allowed to march through Baghdad until the coalition freed them from "the lash of Saddam Hussein" -- well, I don't think anyone wants to put it to the test. Two of our soldiers were shot and robbed this week, in Mosul. So let's not try to guess what might happen if Iraqis, fed up with the occupation, took to the streets en masse and gave Dubya a piece of their minds. Ingrates!
Meantime, Laura forgot to take off her gloves when she shook hands with the Queen -- tsk, tsk! Dubya kept clapping Her Majesty on the back, even though no one is allowed to touch her, ever, unless a bomb is about to go off and she needs to be pushed under a table or something. She's said to be "furious" right now over the mess the Americans have made of her lawn -- angrier than anyone has ever seen her, in fact.
Trees and shrubs dating back to the time of Queen Victoria were destroyed last week by Bush's helicopters, his bullet-proof Cadillac, his 250 bodyguards, 15 sniffer dogs, 50 White House political aides, 20 armored vehicles, three jumbo aircraft, and the man who gets to carry the button to set off the atom bomb, should that become necessary in the war against evil.
Even the royal flamingoes have fled, according to a report, "traumatized" by Ding-Dong's stomp across England, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bush cartel.

Tampa lawyer speaks on politics, refugees, power and principles
The barrister who took on the Australian Government of behalf of the Tampa asylum seekers will deliver the 2011 Human Rights and Social Justice Lecture at the University of Newcastle tomorrow.
Mr Julian Burnside AO QC, known for his staunch opposition to the mandatory detention of asylum seekers, will present Politics and Refugees: Power without Principles?
In 2001, Mr Burnside successfully acted pro bono for Liberty Victoria (formerly the Victorian Council of Civil Liberties) in a Federal Court case seeking an order for the asylum seekers to be released.
Admitted as a barrister of the Supreme Court of Victoria in 1976 and appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1989, Mr Burnside became known for his work in commercial law.
In 1998 he represented the Maritime Union of Australia in its successful action against Patrick Corporation during the Australian waterfront dispute.
Mr Burnside then began to undertake more pro bono legal work on a range of human rights-related issues.
With his wife, artist Kate Durham, he established the Spare Rooms for Refugees and Spare Lawyers for Refugees programs, which provide free accommodation and legal representation for refugees in Australia.
In 2004 Mr Burnside received the Human Rights Law Award from the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission for his asylum seeker representations and for establishing Spare Lawyers for Refugees.
In 2007 he received the Australian Peace Prize from the Peace Organisation of Australia and in 2009 was made an Officer of the Order of Australia "for service as a human rights advocate, particularly for refugees and asylum seekers; to the arts as a patron and fundraiser; and to the law".
The 2011 Human Rights and Social Justice Lecture will be delivered on Wednesday 2 November by Mr Julian Burnside AO QC from 1pm at the Griffith Duncan Theatre at the University of Newcastle's Callaghan campus. This is a free public lecture open to the community.
Media contact: For interviews with Mr Burnside contact Media and Public Relations Officer Carmen Swadling on 02 4985 4276 or 0428 038 477.


text: I'm in the process of updating a fireplace/chimney that I don't use due to cost of heating the house. I know the fireplace by itself isn't efficient at all so I'm leaning towards a wood burning stove or an insert. Anybody that has recommendations on who can do the wood stove or insert part of it, please let me know. After pricing a few (very expensive) doing it myself isn't out of the question. I've sided my whole house, put in new windows, doors and updated the bathroom. Doing this wood stove thing doesn't look that difficult and safety is at the top of the list. Thank you in advance.

This is exactly the same pattern that GW has taken. It seemed to work - for awhile, at least. However, GW's been suffering lately. So is it really a tactic that works?I think the emphasis is appropriate. By Wizards own admittance, over half the people who started playing D&D 3.x are no longer playing it anymore. WotC though is after something different (something which I don't think they can get at...). They want the fat kid who plays the PS3 everyday. It is easier to sell to them than it is to sell to others. By recycling the rules every couple years, they can take better control over the small resale market of the books. By using this sales strategy, they can be certain that when the fat kid gets bored with the archaic PnP games and goes back to killing hookers in the streets of Liberty City...they don't have to worry about him selling his books to the next door neighbor.
Wizards problem with us old farts is we like the games we play and are not normally impressed with the shiny new stuff. They actually have to work a bit harder to provide content in order to get our dollars. As opposed to reformatting the same rules...again...they might have to use a creative team (or one hell of a guy) to produce a product which enhances the games we enjoy playing - that costs more, takes more time and ultimately is more risky...plus they can't charge a monthly fee (did away with Dragon and Dungeon magazines and are replacing them with something which costs more than both of them together and you don't actually get anything tangible for when in a years time WotC hack that bit out due to lost profits).
I contend that it doesn't - at least not in the long haul. I accept that companies need to re-do the rules every now and then to re-vitalize sales, however, I think it's possible to do so in a manner which doesn't alienate long time players. And I think that it's important that a company doesn't completely alienate it's long time players.
I think this is a bit easier to do for miniatures companies than rpg companies, though. All a miniatures company has to do is make sure that they don't completely invalidate the armies long time players have built by doing stupid things like changing basing standards, or eliminating certain model types from a given army list. From an RPG standpoint, how do you re-do the rules without invalidating large portions of the previous game? Depends on the system, nad what design compromises you're willing to make.
But back to why I think it's important for a game company to recognize its long time players, despite the fact that they aren't spending as much money as the new player - because they're the best advocate of the game to new players. They're the ones who are going to get the new guy excited, give them the advice on what to buy and build, and keep the game moving forward. Their word of mouth has a powerful impact on your sales.
But word of mouth goes both ways. Piss off too many of the old-timers, and your reputation will suffer. Maybe not at first, but over time, as you piss off the "next generation" you suckered in, you gain an ever growing number of disgruntled ex-players.
I also contend that hurts the hobby overall, as well. The guy who doesn't buy into the next version of the game is just as likely to move onto another hobby instead. I mean, why bother to invest in yet another game system when you can get into something else - be it something more consistent like model railroading or mountain climbing(for those looking for long term) or just different, like video gaming.
I don't know the answer, nor where the balance is between old and new, but I definitely think that GW blew it, and WotC seems to be headed down the same path.
So what are your thoughts?

More storms may churn in the Atlantic this year than previously thought. Earlier estimates had anywhere from 11-18 named storms forecast. Now it looks like that number could potentially be much higher.
NOAA now estimates that anywhere from 14-23 named storms could form this year. Of these, 8-14 could become hurricanes, and 3-7 could become major hurricanes; Category 3 storms with winds of at least 111 mph.
Three major factors support a very active hurricane season.
The president recently designated May 23-29 as National Hurricane Preparedness Week, saying now is the time to prepare. Visit www.kbtx.com/hurricanes for more information.
