I have a Telus Milestone (IHDP56KC5) that I am running on AT&T. When using the GPS it seems like it always takes 3-5 minutes to get a lock on the satellites and start navigating. Using GPS Status, I get satellite signal within 15-20 seconds of activating the GPS, but do not get a nav lock for 3-5 minutes, this seems excessively long. On my Motorola Q9h Global I had prior, I could start navigating with the GPS within about 30-45 seconds after turning on the GPS. Would this have anything to do with AT&T not having my IMEI for this phone (since from what I understand aGPS helps for a faster lock using the cell network and if they don't have my IMEI my phone possibly isn't using aGPS???). Under Location & Security settings I do have "Use Wireless Networks" checked. Any help would be appreciated as this is an aggrivating issue as I'd like to use the GPS often.
I also have this problem and mine also looses the GPS signal very often. Flashing my phone to the unofficial 2.1 update seams to have helped with the slow GPS locks but there are other issues I'm having with the unofficial update (not GPS related but keyboard related).
I am wondering if the network you are using aGPS on needs your IMEI number to properly use aGPS... Does anyone know if this is the case???
I created an application for Android which is using GPS & Wifi/network signal to locate your phone, so, I know a thing or two. All navigation software needs more precise location & from many satellites, to locate you on the map. If I remember well, they start working after the get constant updates from 4 satellites. The software that locate you on the map (like Google Map), can give you the location from 1 or 2 satellites. The Wifi/network location, does not need you credential to work. They simply calculate your location, based on the cell towers (network antenna) signal, and Wifi signal. The GPS reception can be altered by cloudy sky or bad weather (snow...), high buildings near you... Try starting your GPS Navigation software, in a different area - more open, and see if you have better results. On my Milestone, Navigon is functioning after 30/40 seconds.
I've tried my GPS in many different (wide open) locations in several different parts of the US, same result, no navigation for 3-5 minutes. I have several friends with the same phone on AT&T and have the same issue. Using GPS Status, you can see that the phone starts "seeing" multiple satellites within 10-20 seconds, but it takes 3-5 minutes for it to lock a position and begin navigating. It is very frustrating as it almost appears to be a problem with this phone on AT&Ts network (almost like the phone isn't getting the proper info for aGPS to work from AT&Ts network). The GPS appears to be doing a stand alone "Cold Start" (unassisted) based on the time it is taking for it to calculate a position.
Im using mine on Telus and sometimes it can be slow to acquire (especially when in a car moving) but it does connect eventually sometimes within seconds
Its really not that bad. I get GPS lock within 2 minutes in the rain, 20 seconds in daylight, but I *NEVER* turn GPS off fully, so the battery hit is probably keeping a relatively decent location in memory. Its not nearly as bad as my old touch pro, which would take 20 minutes standing in a field on clear day to get a GPS location.
Running the default 2.0 or 2.0.1 OS mine is definitely slower at finding a GPS lock than my previous Nokia E71. Even with aGPS turned off the Nokia is faster. BUT with the unofficial 2.1 update (the update is not yet available for my region) the GPS gets a lock within seconds as stated a few posts back by Brendanmurphy.
slow for me as we.. Telus on AT&T. What a joke. When I'm outdoors my N-series would lock insanely fast. I couldn't even Google Maps for crap yesterday in the daylight. Ugh.
All folks running using Telus milestone with ATT sim card will only be able to get autonomous GPS and not Assisted GPS location fixes. The problem is that the server that delivers assistance data to the phone is tied to Telus and you can't access that server from ATT network or via wifi because it is behind Telus's firewall. That is why sometimes milestone may have issues getting fixes. I have my milestone from Latin America and have not had any problems with GPS.
Is there a setting somewhere that can be changed so the aGPS looks to AT&Ts server vs. Telus's server for the aGPS data? A line of code in a file, etc???
I have not, but with Astro File Manager it appears I can access at least some of the system config files... Which file needs to be modified? What is the new settings? Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
I don't have a data plan to test if assisted GPS would help, but one issue may be that the assisted GPS is set up to search for supl.telusmobility.com. If you open \etc\location.cfg, and scroll down halfway, you'll notice two entries with supl.telusmobility.com. I believe you can only access that server on the Telus network. To change this entry, you'll need to have root access and remount the system partition to gain write access. Root access: [HOW TO] Root Telus Milestone without wiping or losing Telus firmware Modifying \etc\location.cfg: Turn on USB debugging and connect the USB cable and launch "adb shell" from the android SDK tools folder. Code (Text): su mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtd/mtdblock6 /system Make the change in \etc\location.cfg to something like supl.google.com:7276 Then remount as read only Code (Text): mount -o remount,ro /dev/mtd/mtdblock6 /system
lanoisullid - That was really very cool. You almost figured it out . However, the file that needs to be changed is /data/location/location.cfg. For going to google supl server for assistance, it's a 2 step process. You would have to modify hslp_address = supl.google.com:7276 for both the telus entries in /data/location/location.cfg and you would have to set the line with security = 0 in /system/etc/location.cfg. For going to ATT assistance server (which seems to be down for the last few days ) just modify /data/location/location.cfg and have nothing in hslp_address line. e.g. hslp_address = This should work for you.
Is there any way to modify these files on a non-rooted phone? What would be the exact steps to do this?
Ah...I should have known that /data directory required root user access to view the contents; I was being lazy and just browsing files using ES File Explorer. On my Milestone, the /etc/location.cfg and /data/location/location.cfg were both identical except for: DL_DB_FEATURE_ID_LOCATION_STATE = 0 IS_VALID_LAST_DRV_TCXO = 1 LAST_DRV_TCXO = -747 where these above values were set to 0 in /etc/location.cfg. So for both these files, I set the following DL_LCS_SUPL_SECURITY_ON = 0 hslp_address = supl.google.com:7276 default_hslp_address = supl.google.com:7276 Sounds about right to you Agatsya? I really should get a data plan one day to try this out
Unless I'm mistaken, only the root user has access to the files in /data. So you'll need to root your phone following the steps at [HOW TO] Root Telus Milestone without wiping or losing Telus firmware It's a two step process where you first flash the recovery with a rootable SBF, and then apply an update.zip to gain root access. The translation in the link was a bit off, and I found the more legible instructions on the second page which is as follows: 1. Download zip, rename it update.zip and copy it to the root of the sd card 2. Switch off phone 3. Keep holding the camera button pressed until you see /!\ on your screen 4. Press volume up and then (while keep pressing the volume up) the camera button 5. Use the dpad to select update.zip from sd card
lanoisullid - You are all set, Give it a shot . You would notice that your DL_DB_FEATURE_ID_LOCATION_STATE is 1 when you turn "Use GPS Satellites" on from the settings menu. Oh, and you need to reset the phone for your file changes to take into effect.
What are your settings in your "Location.cfg" file for the two lines that contain "telusmobility" in the Telus phone?
My hslp_address is set to blank. Like i said, the ATT assistance server seems to be down right now, and it takes me about 60 seconds or so for a GPS fix otherwise it used to take me < 15 seconds to obtain a GPS fix.
So if mine was blank, by default it would use AT&T's Assistance Server but because it has some Telus info in there it won't???
HSLP Address is the ip address that the phone would connect to obtain assistance data. For telus phones, the ip address that supl.telusmobility.com resolves to an ip address that is behind the firewall of Telus network which can't be accessed using ATT's sim card. Just leave it blank and then when you start any kind of GPS test application, you would see the up and down arrows blink in the data indication on the status bar, meaning there is some data activity due to GPS.

These days, as some people are bent on making war and others equally determinded to keep peace, I return to my former teacher, Yehuda Amichai, a German-born Jew who migrated to Palestine and grew up with the nation of Israel, a soldier, professor and poet.
A man doesn't have time in his lifeto have time for everything.He doesn't have seasons enough to havea season for every purpose. Ecclesiasteswas wrong about that.A man needs to love and to hate at the same moment,to laugh and cry with the same eyes,with the same hands to throw stones and to gather them,to make love in war and war in love.And to hate and forgive and remember and forget,to arrange and confuse, to eat and to digestwhat history takes years and years to do.A man doesn't have time.When he loses he seeks, when he findshe forgets, when he forgets he loves, when he loveshe begins to forget.And his soul is seasoned, his soulis very professional.Only his body remains foreveran amateur. It tries and it misses,gets muddled, doesn't learn a thing,drunk and blind in its pleasures and in its pains.He will die as figs die in autumn,shriveled and full of himself and sweet,the leaves growing dry on the ground,the bare branches already pointing to the placewhere there's time for everything.

5 Graves That Were Lost, Then Found
You've probably heard the exciting news that the remains of Don Quixote author Miguel Cervantes have likely been found after centuries of being misplaced somewhere in the Convent of the Discalced Trinitarians in Madrid.

"Oh," he told himself. "You need to redesign death."

New York, NY, April 17, 2014 …The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today condemned the appearance of anti-Semitic fliers in Donetsk, Ukraine, and called on all parties involved in the political conflicts in Ukraine to refrain from "cynical and politically manipulative" exploitation of anti-Semitism.
According to Ukrainian media, three armed and masked men handed out fliers the evening of April 15 on the first night of Passover on the letterhead of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic. The fliers instructed Jews to register with the government or face deportation and confiscation of their property.
The leader of the Donetsk People's Republic, whose name appeared in the document's signature, has publicly disavowed the flier.
"We are skeptical about the flier's authenticity, but the instructions clearly recall the Nazi era and have the effect of intimidating the local Jewish community," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director.
"We have seen a series of cynical and politically manipulative uses and accusations of anti-Semitism in Ukraine over the past year," said Mr. Foxman. "The perpetrators and their targets are opposing politicians and political movements, but the true victims are the Jewish communities. We strongly condemn the anti-Semitic content, but also all attempts to use anti-Semitism for political purposes."
The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
Got this monitor, like it but red colors are way too bright to the point when blue at times looks purple. My calibrator was not able to fix it. Not sure why other people don't notice it, guess I am more sensitive to the colors. Great for office work, better than two 1080 monitors.
Wonder if someone figured a way to enter service menu where colors can be corrected. |
Just got a QNIX QX2700 on eBay for $340, risky yes (but they pay for return if it doesnt meet the dead pixel requirements), but it took 4 days to arrive with the free shipping, and no deads, everything looks great, had to lower the brightness a lot which is better than not bright enough, unreal value, very happy.
I have both the Auria 27 From micro center and the Dell U2713. I paid $399+ for Auria and $439 for the Dell with Amex/GC deal. The Dell is much nicer with 3 year warranty for the $40 difference.
It uses a lot less power has better controls and interface, lighter weight, smaller bezel and best of all 3 year warranty. I do not play games so if that is of concern I believe the Auria has faster refresh rate. |
which seller did you buy from?
Thank you for the detailed response. I searched eBay listings, but so many sellers popped up, so I thought I gotta go with the tested one. I bought Dell 2713 for work, and I love it so much, that I want to take it home, and install another 27'' IPS at work, so I think I might go with the red-cap!
As there was a car that gave me a lift, I decided to check out in person all panels @ Microcenter in my area.
(1) I checked online and saw that there are 3 units available at this location (2) Registered online, put a hold on one screen (Microcenter allows reserving an item without purchasing nor using CC) (3) Arrived at MC, picked up from customer service, and they have a testing zone; plugged it in and checked for dead pixels using IE (about: + F11 full screen) and "blank" black screen saver (4) Discovered 1 one tiny stuck pixel bottom-left --> requested on-spot exchange Checked second, found larger stuck pixel top-right corner; tried to get the third one, but CS said someone purchased it already; so changed back to the first one, cause it was a barely visible stuck tiny pixel - it is just me being picky. (5) Used OSD settings found here [extremeoverclocking.com]to calibrate colors, liked the setting so decided to keep. Overall, comparing side by side with Dell U2713 that I purchased in December I find no difference in terms of brightness, generated heat, color and sharpness - indeed, the same LG panels
Do monitors STILL not come in anything greater than 60hz? My laptop had like 70Hz in the 90s and since then it seems tehy've all dropped to 60hz. That is simply shit since even the TVs nowadays are standard 120hz and above. What gives man? I spend 10 hours a day staring at a screen and my eyes feel like they are bleeding by quitting time most nights. Do I need to just dump the desktop altogether and get a nice laptop to resolve this issue? Someone please advise because Im not gettin it. Thank you all for your time.
Sammich if you want 120hz you have to overclock a very specific version of this display only available on one website, http://120hz.net/ Plus it ships from overseas and hope for luck of the draw with dead pixels. All that for $720...
It's sad that 120hz hasn't caught on. We took a big step backwards on that front since CRTs. I wish you could actually send a 120hz signal to any of those tv's that advertise 120hz. You can't. They only accept 60hz signals. Even 3D is just received at 60HZ with a double-wide image size then the TV splits it up and displays the first half then the other. |

The latest report shows a bullish outlook for AMZN

Century Aluminum ( CENX ) has rejected a proposal to help restart its West Virginia smelter after the electricity rate offer from the state fell short of its needs, SeekingAlpha reported.
CENX shares are down 2.7% to $7.14 in afternoon trade, and are moving within a 52-week range of $5.52 - $12.30.
The utility regulator had proposed allowing a special electricity rate for up to 10 years, but the ruling also would've held the company responsible for making up the difference between that rate and actual power costs. The company says it's reviewing alternatives.

Why Read This Report
Small and medium-size business (SMB) IT sales are influenced by many parties, including peers, consultants, bloggers, and technology resellers. The influencers that buyers turn to vary by product, can change over time, and play different roles at different stages of the sales cycle. To determine which influencers to work with, vendors need to identify and characterize the influencers in their market. This requires a comprehensive influencer identification program and the establishment of criteria for ranking influencer impact on the decision process. Doing this will allow vendors to prioritize influencer marketing spending, discover previously unidentified influencers, and track changes in influencer use over time.US $ 499

You cant publish a paper on physics without the full experimental data and results; that should be the standard in journalism.
Julian Paul Assange
Journalism may not dare too much. It can be gently humorous and ironic, very lightly touched by idiosyncrasy, but it must not repel readers by digging too deeply. This is especially true of its approach to language: the conventions are not questioned. The questioning of linguistic conventions is one of the main duties of what we call literature.
Anthony Burgess
The lowest form of popular culturelack of information, misinformation, disinformation, and a contempt for the truth or the reality of most peoples liveshas overrun real journalism. Today, ordinary Americans are being stuffed with garbage.
Carl Bernstein
It is the media that controls the boundaries of what is politically permissible, so better to change the media. Profit motives work against it, but if we can have the audience understand that most other forms of journalism are not credible, then it may be a forced move.
Julian Paul Assange
Thats arguably what spy agencies do high-tech investigative journalism. Its time that the media upgraded its capabilities along those lines.
Julian Paul Assange
There is no more respected or influential forum in the field of journalism than the New York Times. I look forward, with great anticipation, to contributing to its op-ed page.
Ted Koppel
In journalism, there has always been a tension between getting it first and getting it right.
Ellen Goodman
Journalism is popular, but it is popular mainly as fiction. Life is one world, and life seen in the newspapers is another..
Gilbert Keith Chesterton
The First Law of Journalism: to confirm existing prejudice, rather than contradict it.
Alexander Claud Cockburn
Journalism constructs momentarily arrested equilibriums and gives disorder an implied order. That is already two steps from reality.
Thomas Griffith
Journalism wishes to tell what it is that has happened everywhere as though the same things had happened for every man. Poetry wishes to say what it is like for any man to be himself in the presence of a particular occurrence as though only he were alone there.
Archibald MacLeish
The difference between journalism and literature is that journalism is unreadable and literature is not read.
Oscar Wilde
I still believe that if your aim is to change the world, journalism is a more immediate short-term weapon
Tom Stoppard
I think it is equally tiresome and useless to argue about whether blogs are journalism, for journalism is not limited by the tool or medium or person used in the act

Hey guys, my new iBook arrived safely today from its trip from Utah (expercom.com)
Everything looks great. OSX 10.2 was EASY to set up, and I just plugged in the ethernet cable and BAM! i was on. I LOVE IT! SO EASY! Anyways, I have a few questions. 1.) How often do the logic boards fail? Do we have a percentage so far? Apple has that one FAQ page that has info on them replacing logic boards. Why do people complain? I thought apple would do it for free? 2.) what is safari, and how do i get it? and darn, this 128 mb of ram is slowwwww. I definitely am ordering the 512 stick soon. the gain better be exponential!! Otherwise, DVD player is smooth. 10.2 is MUCH smoother than i remember 10.1 being too! Thanks guys! |

I found my SN, thanks guys.
I have a 700 mhz combo drive iBook. 20gb hdd. currently only 128 mb ram (which OSX is slooooow on). I plan to drop in that 512 stick next week when i get paid, ha! And it looks like i fall into that replacement program for the logic board. my SN is DEAD in the middle. im so scared. i wouldnt know what to do if it happened to me. I mean, i only paid 550 for this iBook, and i heard repairs and a new logic board are super costly! btw, safari is 10x better than explorer! |

I have this problem already.. but dont blame me, I am a windows guy and i just switched to mac.. I discovered that the trackpad still has that stupid acceleration in MACOSX 10.4 intel based-duo. I also have another problem which i have found out that the performance is not as strong as windows. I tried to run flashplayer 8.0 on my machine, and it was awful, it hung me to death. I dont if there is some CPU performance adjustment ulilities that could help me.

Because there are years and years of PPC Macs. Apple not going to DUMP those users into the street with no support. That is why they are doing the Universal apps. Most applications are universal, just Microsoft and Adobe and a few others that are not made by Apple. I for one am Gratefull to apple for supporting their not very old G4 and G5 machines.

TRANSITION METALS Doc Brown's Chemistry GCSE/IGCSE/O Level Chemistry Revision Notes The Physical and Chemical Properties of the Transition Metal Elements Series 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 scandium, titanium, vanadium, chromium manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc 2 to 9 are typical transition metal ion/compound coloured solutions Actually 1 scandium and 10 zinc are not really proper transition metals, they are not very 'colourful' in their chemistry!, they only form one colourless ion and are not noted for their catalytic activity, a bit dull really!, but zinc is a useful metal as are all the true transition metals titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel and copper! The physical properties of Transition Metals like density, melting points, boiling points, strength are described and discussed along with a description of the important transition metal chemical properties of e.g. titanium, vanadium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc. There are also sections on how transition metals can be improved to increase their usefulness e.g. alloys and they are compared with the important 'non–transition' metals like aluminium, tin and lead. These notes on transition metals describing their physical properties, chemical reactions and uses are designed to meet the highest standards of knowledge and understanding required for students/pupils doing GCSE chemistry, IGCSE chemistry, O Level chemistry, KS4 science courses and a basic primer for an advanced level chemistry courses (see A Level links). PLEASE NOTE A Level students ! Advanced Level Chemistry Notes 3d block Transition Metals and GCSE/IGCSE/O Level multiple choice QUIZ on Transition Metals
The basic structure of the Periodic Table and where are the 'Transition Metals'?
The Typical Physical Characteristics of Transition Metals
(a) Some General Physical Characteristics
(b) High Melting Point and Boiling Point
(c) High density
THE CHEMISTRY OF TRANSITION METALS Their chemical properties and chemical reactions (d)(i) Form coloured compounds and ions in solution There are several important chemical characteristics of transition metals you should be very aware of. They tend to be much less reactive than the Alkali Metals. Transition metals tend to form more coloured ions and compounds more than most other elements either in solid form or dissolved in a solvent like water. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
(d)(ii) Some other odd bits of transition metal chemistry
transition metal salt solution + sodium hydroxide solution ==> solid hydroxide precipitate + sodium salt left in solution ionically the precipitation reactions are:
iron(II) ion
Fe2+, pale green in aqueous solution, which gives
a dark grey–green gelatinous precipitate of iron(II) hydroxide with
sodium hydroxide solution iron(II) sulfate + sodium hydroxide ==> iron(II) hydroxide + sodium sulfate
or iron(II) chloride + sodium hydroxide ==> iron(II) hydroxide + sodium chloride
iron(III) chloride + sodium hydroxide ==> iron(III) hydroxide + sodium chloride
the ionic equation is ...
copper(II) ion Cu2+, blue in
aqueous solution, copper(II) sulphate + sodium hydroxide ==> copper(II) hydroxide + sodium sulphate
or copper(II) chloride + sodium hydroxide ==> copper(II) hydroxide + sodium chloride
Note that the copper ion can be also detected by its flame colour of green–blue.
zinc sulphate + sodium hydroxide ==> zinc hydroxide + sodium sulphate
However, unlike the other precipitates described above, zinc hydroxide dissolves if excess sodium hydroxide solution is added i.e. add a lot more and the result is a clear colourless solution of another zinc compound formed by the extra hydroxide ions reacting with the zinc hydroxide.
There are more details and more tests on the Chemical Identification page (use the alphabetical list at the top). The coloured nature of many transition metal compounds also shows up in the thermal decomposition of the transition metal carbonates e.g.
(e) Catalytic Properties of Transition Metals – A Use of Transition Metals (1) The metallic elements themselves are used as catalysts
(2) Some compounds of transition metals are also used as catalysts
(f) More on the Uses of Transition Metals and their compounds
Steel alloys of varying strength and anti–corrosion properties are used in thousands of products and constructions e.g. reinforcing rods in concrete buildings, bridge girders, car engines, domestic appliances from washing machines to electric kettles, saucepans, tools like chisels, ship hulls and superstructure, very hard drill bits, Steel is an alloy because it is a mixture of a metal (iron) with other elements (carbon and perhaps other metals too). Iron from the blast furnace contains about ~96% iron with ~4% of impurities including carbon, silica and phosphorus. In this state the cast iron is too hard and too brittle for most purposes. Cast iron is hard and can be used directly for some purposes eg manhole covers, railings because of its strength in compression and is hard wearing. However, if all the impurities are removed, the resulting very pure iron is too soft for any useful purpose. Therefore, strong useful steel is made by controlling the amount of carbon and selected metals to produce an alloy mixture with the right physical properties fit for a particular application e.g. steel for car bodies, chrome stainless steel, extremely hard and tough tungsten–iron steel alloys etc. The real importance of alloys is that they can be designed to have properties for specific uses. eg low–carbon steels are easily shaped for car bodies, high–carbon steels are hard, and stainless steels are resistant to corrosion etc.
Remember! If iron or steel becomes badly corroded, there is no strength in rust!, and, the thicker the rust layer, the thinner and weaker the supporting iron or steel layer, hence the possibility of structural failure.
It is one of the main components of Nitinol 'smart' alloys. Nitinol belongs to a group of shape memory alloys (SMA) which can 'remember their original shape'. For example they can regain there original shape on heating (e.g. used in thermostats in cookers , coffer makers etc.) or after release of a physical stress (e.g. used in 'bendable' eyeglass frames, very handy if you tread on them!). The other main metal used in these very useful intermetallic compounds is nickel.
Metals can become weakened when repeatedly stressed and strained leading to changes in the crystal structure of the metal and it becomes more brittle. These faults developing in the metal structure is called 'metal fatigue' or ' (g) What about the uses of non–transition metals? Just a little insert to remind students that there are other useful metals besides the transition metals!
Other non–transition metals and their uses
BACK TO TRANSITION METALS and their USES More on iron and examples of how metals can be made more usefulIron can be made more useful by mixing it with other substances to make various types of steel. Many metals can be given a coating of a different metal to protect them or to improve their appearance.
(2) Then pure oxygen is passed into the mixture and the non–metal impurities such as silicon or phosphorus are then converted into acidic oxides (oxidation process) ..
(3) Calcium carbonate (a base) is then added to remove the acidic oxide impurities (in an acid–base reaction). The salts produced by this reaction form a slag which can be tapped off separately.
Reactions (1)–(3) produce pure iron. Calculated quantities of carbon and/or other metallic elements such as titanium, manganese or chromium are then added to make a wide range of steels with particular properties for specific purposes i.e. match the properties of the steel alloy to its use. Because of the high temperatures the mixture is stirred by bubbling in unreactive argon gas! Economics of recycling scrap steel or iron: Most steel consists of >25% recycled iron/steel and you do have the 'scrap' collection costs and problems with varying steel composition* BUT you save enormously because there is no mining cost, no overseas transport costs, no extraction needed, AND less junk lying around! (NOTE: * some companies send their own scrap to be mixed with the next batch of 'specialised' steel they order, this saves both companies money!)
Different steels for different uses:
Another transition metal – Titanium – How is it produced? What is it used for? Titanium is a very important metal for various specialised uses. It is more difficult to extract from its ore than other, more common metals. There is a note about the bonding and structure of alloys on another page. It is used in aeroplanes, in nuclear reactor alloys and for replacement hip joints. It is one of the main components of Titanium is extracted from the raw material is the ore rutile which contains titanium dioxide. The rutile titanium oxide ore is heated with carbon and chlorine to make titanium chloride
After the oxide is converted into titanium chloride TiCl4, it is then reacted with sodium or magnesium to form titanium metal and sodium chloride or magnesium chloride. This is an expensive process because sodium or magnesium are manufactured by the costly process of electrolysis (electricity is the most costly form of energy).
These are examples of metal displacement reactions e.g. the less reactive titanium is displaced by the more reactive sodium or magnesium. Overall the titanium oxide ore is reduced to titanium metal (overall O loss, oxide => metal) Transition Metals and Use in Superconductors
When the electric current of electrons meets some resistance in a material, the material heats up and so electrical energy is lost as heat. This electrical resistance in metals increases with temperature, so as the wire heats up, even more energy is lost. This wasted energy can be minimised if you can operate the circuit at a lower temperature, but not always practicable. If you cool a metal down to a sufficiently low temperature, all electrical resistance disappears! This is called superconductivity and the metal has become a superconductor. If there is no electrical resistance, there is no loss of electrical energy as heat, i.e. energy transfer is 100% efficient.
Transition metals, in the middle of the periodic table (see above) are being used to develop superconducting alloys. The potential use of superconductors is enormous e.g.
Unfortunately there some big technological problems inhibiting the use of superconductors.

Plans by the owners of Afprint Nigeria Plc to delist the company's stock from the official list of the Nigerian Stock Exchange have been sanctioned by the Federal High Court in Lagos.
The company's shareholders had earlier approved the delistment through a resolution passed at a court ordered meeting, with respect to the scheme of arrangement.
The order of the court sanctioning the scheme of arrangement is one of the many statutory requirements to enable the company meet its obligation to the minority shareholders of the company. In line with the Companies and Allied Matters Act 1990, the sanction of the Federal High Court in respect of the company, is required to be filed with the Corporate Affairs Commission, the Nigerian Stock Exchange and Securities and Exchange Commission, for the purpose of records.
The Deputy Managing Director, Afprint Nigeria Plc, Mr. Victor Eburajolo had earlier explained that the management intends to follow the delisting procedure as contained in the relevant sections of the Companies and Allied Matters Act 1990.
He, added that with the level of compliance thus far, the shareholders are likely to receive their scheme consideration warrants sooner than expected.
Under the scheme, holders of the scheme's shares and those on the register of members of Afprint as at the terminal date shall be entitled to receive N1.50 for every 50k share held , as terminal exist offer.
The arrangement means the cancellation of the scheme shares by the delisting of Afprint shares from the NSE and replacing it with new Afprint shares in the holding company, Kewalram Chanrai Group.
Meanwhile, the Independent Shareholders Association of Nigeria and the Progressive Shareholders Association of Nigeria, have separately endorsed the scheme of arrangement.

minimum amount of light to keep a plant alive? like whats the smallest light i could give it to keep it alive indoor and if i grow it outdoors how many hours of light does it need to survive? would it shock if i put it outdoor at 11am-5pm then keep it inside? it is 60 degree and sunny during day and around 30 at night.would it survive??
Ya your plant would survive for a while, but not well. Wouldn't you want you plant to THRIVE rather than just survive?
100 watts of cfl(meaning compact fluorescent lights) is probably the minimum to keep it growing normally and looking good. Then for flower, u can flower with a shit load of cfls but its better and also easier to get a minimum 250watt hps. theres also a cheapo 150watt hps i heard from econo something. Maybe sum1 on here knows where to get it. Have fun im really blazed so i hope all that made sense?
ya but im just trying to keep it living during the cold till it gets hot again,then leave it outside all day. how many hours of light are minimum for it to live and grow??
just wait until it gets warmer. it's stupid to start too early for the season. just plan your shit and start your seedlings later when it's time.
I'm not sure if anyone else will agree, but what you wanna do "just keep it alive" boderlines on Plant abuse! These plants DO have a life span, so just doing ENOUGH to keep it alive is not going to do it any good for strength, and ability to deal with pests once you do move it outside. not to mention how much of it's life you've wasted. Get some good lights on it. You should be able to find some decent CFL's for under 30 bucks. Otherwise you might as well just smoke it now. Also, it will need to have lights on it16-18 hours a day. Until you flower it, then it's 12 hours a day.
I have been able to get plants surviving with a 125W compact fluorescent light with 6500 K light wave but I had problems in flowering stage. Changing the bulb to a lower Kelvin did not help (2700K). When I finally had the power restored after two months I used the metal halide lamp and plants did very well. (these plants were under light for 4 months total. By the way, Is that you in that picture? What I really wanted to say is "that is some awesome, class A1+++, fantastoco, high THC butt you got there my friend".
Minimum rule of thumb for me is 30 watts per square foot. Also If you regenerate your plants the life span is elongated. Leave a few buds on a plant after harvest under long hour light patterns, and a few weeks later the plant will start to veg again. With the root ball and base plant grown already the veg cycle is about half time. Or longer if you want it to sit over winter to wait for the warm. It will only get bigger. Polinate after a few Harvests or put the plant to rest. It will keep it the plants vigor up. But also by then you have a small tree!!!!! Sorry. Realized the post was a bit old.
TY for sayin it Sgt. Sly! I certainly agree... Why would one ask a question like, whatz the LEAST I can do, just so my plant won't die? I mean, what r u growing for, some sort of twisted nazi-esque experiment?Treat your plants like you would your dog or cat or buddy... The question to ask is what MORE can I do for my plants that I'm not already doing?
I wont even entertain the idea of suggesting minimums... If u can't go full steam ahead, then put yer op on hold until u r ready to dedicate more of yourself to cultivation... Itz JUST like keeping a poor dog on a chain in a backyard and never feeding him and barely giving it water, and kicking the shit out of him when you DO go out to see him... Kindof abusive..... Mary Jane deserves better!
i have a 3ft twin 21watt tube t5 and it works well for mother plants so a twin 1ft t5 tube would keep them healthy but grow slow

Which should he do first?
Emergency Fund or Debt Repayment
by Gary Foreman

Using Your 401k to Pay Off Debts
Easy Ways to Build an Emergency Fund 8 Mental Perks of Getting Rid of Debt |
Right now I owe $3100 on my credit card. I have $6000 in my savings, but I am trying to hit a benchmark of $10,000 in my savings. The way I've been saving I should hit the $10k mark in three months. However, the balance on my credit is glaring. My total credit limit is $4500. Should I pay this debt immediately, slowly, or continue to pay a small amount just over minimum until I hit my bench mark of $10k in my savings?
Congratulations on your savings success. I'm sure that it feels good to be so near to your goal. Your question is a good one and one that many people ask. Does it make sense to put money in a savings account while you still are repaying debts?
Let's look at the question a couple of different ways. First, we'll discuss why we want/need a savings account and why we borrow money. Second, we'll look at the purely mathematical aspects of your question. Then, finally, we'll consider some of the emotional/psychological issues your question surfaces.
I'm guessing, but I suspect that you started saving because you became tired of having unexpected expenses that could only be paid using your credit card. And, to tell the truth, those bills aren't really unexpected. We know that a car or the fridge will break down or we'll need to visit the doctor. What we don't know is when it will happen.
As to why we use credit cards, the story is usually the same. In the beginning, it's just convenience. They're easier to use than cash. Plus they're handy for the unexpected bill that we can't handle out of savings. Typically we want to spread the bill over the next few months and pay down the credit card account.
Sometimes we find that difficult to do. And today's unexpected expense gets added to the one from six months ago that we still are working on repaying. So our balance doesn't disappear, but rather seems to be growing. That sounds like what you're experiencing.
Next, let's examine the math of the question. If you're asking about the quickest way to both save $10k and repay your debt, your answer will lie in the interest rates. Compare the interest rate being earned on your savings to the interest rate being charged on the credit card. You should put any extra money you have on whichever is higher.
It's almost certain the credit card bill should be paid off first. Your interest rate on the unpaid balance is probably in the teens. Your saving account is probably in the low single digit range. Once you've paid off the credit card, you can resume adding to the savings account.
If your only concern is how quickly you can accomplish both, you'd actually be wise to pull $3100 from savings to totally pay off the credit card balance, but some would argue against that. This leads us to the final way to look at your question.
Are there any emotional issues that would suggest that you should save the money before repaying the debt?
There are some people who, for various reasons, must have some savings available to them. Without it, they feel vulnerable. For them, it would be best to build the savings up to an acceptable level and then use extra money to repay debts. It won't be the quickest way, but it will help prevent sleepless nights!
What should you do? Only you can decide how comfortable you'd be if your savings was suddenly cut in half, but you might feel relieved knowing that the credit card debt was wiped out. In either case, at the rate you're going, you should reach both goals in about six months. So you won't have too long to wait. Congrats!

Hiding Snacks? Yikes!
View SKEEWEE2MEK's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from SKEEWEE2MEK
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
Ok, I confess. I'm seriously considering hiding snacks from my family
. Not in a sneaky, I'm binge eating kind of way. But in a protective, I'm concerned about them kind of way
. "Yeah right", you say. But I'm serious!
Here's the deal; I have a very diligent sweet tooth. I don't overdo it, but I like to have a small taste of something sweet every single day
. Well, being the bargain hunting coupon clipper that I am, I prefer to buy my treats from someplace like Walmart, where they are cheaper rather than say...a convenience store when I'm out and about. Well, I am more than capable of having one small taste, and leaving the rest alone. However, DH and the kids like to devour the stuff. If it's in the house, they WILL eat it ALL. I just like for it to be available when I want it, not necessarily so I can eat it all up in a short period of time. What they don't get is that I'm pacing myself, counting calories, sticking to a fitness plan...and they aren't taking all those steps. I really think I'm gonna start having my treats at work or in my car when I'm alone. But then I'd feel like a true fatty
. And NO I will NOT give up my treats! What a conundrum

One of my coworkers hides her good chocolate in an oatmeal container. Apparently her husband hates oatmeal, so he never looks in there. An empty tampon box would probably work too...
Anyway, it's got to be a guy thing! And there's absolutely no reason to feel guilty for *saving* (i.e., hiding) your treats. Everyone should have treats (healthy or not) now and then.

This IS a conundrum. You've gotten some excellent input. I've lived and seen and read many "stories" in this regard. Our Mom used to have a BOX of Skor chocolate bars in the car (good thing we lived in New England where they never melted). She was a closet eater. I suppose were they in the house I might have shared.
My stepdaughter never HAD food (no lie) and she is very possessive about food and labels and hides it and even after five years living with us it is occasionally a concern even though I assure her that I can and will get more of whatever it is.
I totally hear what you are saying and how it is a fine line of balance of what to do and how to address it Skee. YOU deserve to have what you want and when you want it too and shouldn't feel it has to be hidden or eaten at a time and place that makes you feel skeevy about it either.
Too bad life can't be easier huh?
As someone said...you will do the "right" thing for you and your family!

Skeewee!! I am totally game with you hiding the goodies! It's the same way in my house with my DH!! He has NO CONTROL and will eat the ENTIRE whatever is it! I saw this combonation lock for Ben n Jerry's ice cream, "mine not yours" hahaha They need to make a combo lock for everything!!! Sometimes I will buy whatever it is in bulk then place the serving size in a snack bag, last longer for sure! I hide things from my DH so he won't get the last of it!!! So strange so many of us have the same issue!!!!!!!
Report Inappropriate Comment
You feel about it however you will feel about it, skeewee, but I have no problem with you creating a hiding place or stash for your treats. You could even get one of those cheapy cash boxes with key and just stash the candy there! Especially as this is something that you track and count in your daily register-- it means that you get to enjoy it and if your kin mangent-tout, well you're outta luck! I say stash away!

I hear you!! If its not hubby its my 22 year old son! He just graduated college and He's on" layover" till he finds a job and an apartment. I cant keep anything in the house. Not my little treats or leftovers. Hes use to staying up late so once DH and I go to bed he raids my stash! Hahahah He says I only had to little dove bars....the gremlins must eat the rest. Thinking about hiding them in my underwear drawer!!

You'll do the right thing !

Don't feel bad - I hide my sugarfree treats too. As you said, I allow myself one treat after dinner. But if they 'live' in the pantry, DH will eat the whole package - and even sugarfree treats have calories so that's not good for him (and they won't be there when I need them!) Hey, we do what we have to do to lose weight, right? So no more guilt!!
Report Inappropriate Comment
YIKES! Is there anyway you'd consider opting for healthier treats you and the family can eat without the guilt? We're all learning to eat better so, this could be your chance to start modeling good eating habits. I know that's easier said than done.

My son and I have a DEAL - he has HIS and I have MINE - I had to really lay down the law on that because he used to eat not just the sugary treats, but fruit, veggies, pudding, Jello, etc. too. I would buy something special for ME and the next time I looked for it - he would sheepishly say, "I didn't think you WANTED it because it was still there." Just because I didn't eat all of my treats in one or two days, he thought I must not want them any more. It is no longer a problem. I keep MINE in one place or label it if it is in the fridge - he does the same. He has even learned to keep HIS where he must go into another room to get them and NOW even HIS snacks last the whole month too. He learned when he couldn't eat mine and couldn't get any MORE he might be smart to spread them out over time unless he wanted to do without.

LOL -- my daughter was busting into the few things I had around the house for me. I finally had to lay down the law. There are things there for her and any guests, and there are treats that are just for me. You have a bigger family though and that would be harder. Good luck!
