Most of the stuff is something that looks esoteric to someone who was taught C or Fortran or who taught him/her-self VB and is so used to imperative programming, that he/she cannot think outside that old tiny box. The people that find references hard and higher order functions rocket science. And the DATA filehandle is no more esoteric than a print statement. A bit unusual maybe, non-obvious probably, but esoteric? That's a very big stretch of the meaning of the word. Jenda In reply to Re^3: Hidden features of Perl

Fall 2013 Trend Alert: Black Lipstick
Black is a very bold color, however if you want to make a statement or experiment with different fashion styles, black lipstick can be quite appropriate. There are several things you need to know about applying and wearing black lipstick, and we are here to help you!
Tips on Wearing Black Lipstick
As shown at the recent catwalks for Fall 2013, black lipstick is coming back into trend. Moschino Cheap& Chic proudly displayed black lipstick during London Fashion Week.
Well, whether or not it does, black lipstick is always bold and avant-garde, so you better learn how to wear it if you want to be hip and chic. One of the secrets of wearing black lipstick is the way to apply it. If you can't apply it properly, it might look cheap and unattractive. Think over your outfit as well, before making such a bold statement.
Since black is the mother of all colors, as some might say, keeping your lips a major statement is the key. So, leave your eyes with practically no makeup, putting strong emphasis on the lips. The only thing that will also go along with black lips is the black eyeliner. Another thing to consider is the eyebrows, as they need to be rather subtle, and not really visible. Tone down the eyebrows, to get the effect.
One of the essential things to know about black lipstick, apart from choosing a pricy version, is that the look must be perfect. So using a lip liner is a must. Fill in the space along the line that you drew, and make sure not to go over the lip line. Another thing to consider is the quality of lipstick, it should not be cheap. Cheap lipstick would look cheap, and this is the least you want to do if you want to appear elegant and stylish. Also, you have two options when wearing black: glossy or matte, and both look splendid. It is also important to maintain the lipstick, so that it will stay on your lips.

09:15-09:45 Session 1: RTAs, the multilateral trading system and the doha development agenda: current trends and future directions back to top
As negotiations of RTAs assume an ever more prominent role on the trade agenda of many WTO Members, keeping track of the number and scope of these agreements is becoming an increasingly elusive task. Taking stock of recent developments both regionally and multilaterally, in the context of the negotiations on RTA rules of the Doha Development Agenda, will provide an overview of the current global trading landscape and offer hints on its possible future directions.

09:45-10:45 Session 2: RTAs and MFN in the global economy: divergent or convergent paths? back to top
There is an active debate on the impact that the proliferation of RTAs may have on the objective of multilateral trade liberalization and its underlying principles of non-discrimination and transparency. Recent developments in the global/regional landscape can be viewed from different prisms.

The discussion in this session will focus on the impact of concurrent trade regulatory regimes, and will explore possible paths leading to a more harmonious global trade regime.

America's Next Top Model 5
Ebony becomes the second girl eliminated from UPN's 'Top Model 5'
By Reality TV World staff, 09/29/2005
Deemed as having the desire to be a model but not the willingness to make the effort that would be required to fulfill her dreams,
, a 18-year-old student from Sylmar, CA, became the second girl eliminated from the fifth edition of
America's Next Top Model
during last night's UPN broadcast.
Top Model 5's
third episode (given that last week's two-hour premiere was technically Episodes 1 and 2) began with Tyra and Jay Manuel greeting the girls at the Louis Licari hair salon where each girl received a fabulous makeover intended to jumpstart their high-fashion model transformations. Jay additionally provided tips on how each could either incorporate or depart from their own personal style to punctuate their new dramatic looks.
The next day, the girls found themselves on Rodeo Drive in the company of personal stylist James St. James, who further emphasized the importance of personal style development. Using the style tips they received from Jay, each girl was given $500 to complete a shopping mission in Beverly Hills to find an outfit that portrayed their new style. James St. James judged the girls' finished looks and seemed irritated with Ebony's selection. Lisa's confidence and excellent knowledge of style led her to become the victor and girl who was allowed to keep her new outfit.

The following morning, photo shoot director Jay greeted the girls at a countryside ranch where each was paired with a partner for a very competitive photo shoot. Each pair was challenged to pose in the same outfit and setting so the judges could make side-by-side comparisons of the photos. Before the shoot, Ebony's partner,
, attempted to intimidate her by leading her to believe that the photo shoot outfit wouldn't work with Ebony's body type. And while many of the girls seemed to improve on their work in front of the lens, Jay felt that Ebony still fell flat. "She's got all of this excitement and all this creativity. And then as soon as Ebony steps in front of the camera it all falls by the wayside," he commented.
During the week's elimination ceremony, the judges evaluated the girls' countryside photo shoot along with their new makeovers and ability to evoke their own personal style. Although the judges noticed that Ebony's drastic new look was one of the most eye-catching and that she had a definite desire to become a model, they felt her effort continued to be lackluster as her photo proved to be the less superior. "You impressed me at the castings because you were so obsessed with modeling, but the judges are seeing maybe it's just a dream," Tyra told Ebony just before eliminating her from

The snow in the area on Friday brought a lot of changes to the area sports schedules.
In New York the Section IV Wrestling Championships and the Section IV, Class Bowling Tournament were both postponed on Friday.
The wrestling will become a one-day tournament today at Broome County Arena. Weigh-ins will be from 9-10:30 a.m. and wrestling will begin at 11 a.m. Division I will wrestle on two mats and Division II will wrestle on four mats.
All preliminary-round losers will be out of the tournament as first-round wrestlebacks were eliminated. Wrestlebacks will be held to six places, starting with the quarterfinals.
The quarterfinals are set to begin at 1 p.m. with the semifinals scheduled for 3:30 and the consolation and championship finals at 7 p.m.
The boys class sectional finals for bowling were moved to Monday at 2 p.m. at Midway Lanes in Vestal, with the girls schedule remaining on track for today.
The IAC Swimming Championships will now begin finals at 1 p.m. today with diving to be held after the swimming finals at approximately 4 p.m., instead of before the swimming.
All high school basketball games on Friday were postponed with many of them moving their games until Monday.
A couple of key games which were moved to today are the Notre Dame and Waverly boys and girls matchups. The Notre Dame boys are at Waverly needing a win to force a playoff with Watkins Glen for the division title. The girls are at Notre Dame, a Waverly win gives them the division title, a Notre Dame win forces a playoff. Both of those games begin with a 1 p.m. JV start today.
Northeast Bradford at Canton boys was also postponed until today. The game will have a 6 p.m. JV start and Eddie Larcom of Canton enters the game needing 22 points to joining teammate Emmett Watson, who achieved the feat on Wednesday, in the school's 1,000-point club.
Among the boys' basketball games moved to Monday are Towanda at North Penn and Wellsboro at Williamson. For the Green Hornets a win on Monday would secure the NTL West title.

Project by DLWoodWorker | posted 05-29-2010 11:24 PM | 4931 views | 5 times favorited | 26 comments |
I thought I would try this weekend workbench during the Memorial Day Holiday. This was a nice project that cost a little over $175. I got the plans from WoodSmithShop. This is the simplest build. It was built according to the plans. The bench is heavy and sturdy. I am going to put a finish on it and call it done. The hard part is rearranging my garage.
I would also like to thank my lovely assistant. She helped me tremendously. It was hard to get her to keep the safety glass on, but we had fun.

I used this design at school and cut the 5×5 work tables in half and made 2- 27×64 workbenches from each. Not I have 12 27×64 workbenches instead of 6 54×64 tables. It allows all the students to face forward, and made them taller for standing work. I was able to use the butcher block tops, otherwise I would have used mdf like the plan. A heavy coat of poly or lacquer will make it "perty" and durable. good job, now get to work! |

Thanks everyone for your support. My little one has been smiling from ear to ear. She has been reading the post and can not wait to sign and date the bench. I am planning to mount the vise Sunday or Monday. We have a few father & daughter projects in the works. The way she talks, I will be the helper on them. I have already begun to make shop rules (WOW). |

An American Combat Psychiatrist, a Japanese War Crimes Suspect, and an Unsolved Mystery from World War II
A Curious Madness
An American Combat Psychiatrist, a Japanese War Crimes Suspect, and an Unsolved Mystery from World War II
In the wake of World War II, the Allied forces charged twenty-eight Japanese men with crimes against humanity. Correspondents at the Tokyo trial thought the evidence fell most heavily on ten of the accused. In December 1948, five of these defendants were hanged while four received sentences of life in prison. The tenth was a brilliant philosopher-patriot named Okawa Shumei. His story proved strangest of all.
Among all the political and military leaders on trial, Okawa was the lone civilian. In the years leading up to World War II, he had outlined a divine mission for Japan to lead Asia against the West, prophesized a great clash with the United States, planned coups d'etat with military rebels, and financed the assassination of Japan's prime minister. Beyond "all vestiges of doubt," concluded a classified American intelligence report, "Okawa moved in the best circles of nationalist intrigue."
Okawa's guilt as a conspirator appeared straightforward. But on the first day of the Tokyo trial, he made headlines around the world by slapping star defendant and wartime prime minister Tojo Hideki on the head. Had Okawa lost his sanity? Or was he faking madness to avoid a grim punishment? A U.S. Army psychiatrist stationed in occupied Japan, Major Daniel Jaffe—the author's grandfather—was assigned to determine Okawa's ability to stand trial, and thus his fate.
Jaffe was no stranger to madness. He had seen it his whole life: in his mother, as a boy in Brooklyn; in soldiers, on the battlefields of Europe. Now his seasoned eye faced the ultimate test. If Jaffe deemed Okawa sane, the war crimes suspect might be hanged. But if Jaffe found Okawa insane, the philosopher patriot might escape justice for his role in promoting Japan's wartime aggression.
Meticulously researched, A Curious Madness is both expansive in scope and vivid in detail. As the story pushes both Jaffe and Okawa toward their postwar confrontation, it explores such diverse topics as the roots of belligerent Japanese nationalism, the development of combat psychiatry during World War II, and the complex nature of postwar justice. Eric Jaffe is at his best in this suspenseful and engrossing historical narrative of the fateful intertwining of two men on different sides of the war and the world and the question of insanity.

The entire country of Denmark is re-created in Minecraft
Two people from the Danish Geodata Agency have created a 1:1 model of Denmark in the most popular indie game, Minecraft.
This project was made by the agency's Simon Kokkendoft and Thorbjørn Nielsen who built the entire country using virtual block. The two used the data from their Geodata Agency to make an accurate 'block' version of Denmark.
The duo planned this project keeping environment and education in mind. According to the news report by Danish's news agency, the duo hopes that this Minecraft version of Denmark will be introduced in local schools so that students can learn everything from urban planning to environment preservation.

Skylanders Trap Team ships October 5, adds a new wrinkle to the series
Skylanders has been around for several years and was the first game to allow the player to take real-world action figures into the video game to play. The player could buy a number of Skylanders action figures, set them on a portal device, and play them in the video game. Activision has turned Skylanders into one of its most profitable franchises.
A new Skylanders game will land this fall called Skylanders Trap Team. It will have the normal ability to let gamers place an action figure on the portal and play the character in the game. It will also have another interesting feature that is a first for the franchise.
Rockstar rumored to be adding in jetpacks to Grand Theft Auto V
If a new string of code found by a modder is to be believed, jetpacks might find their way into Grand Theft Auto V in the near future. A new strong of code was found in GTA V's recent 1.12 update.
Better yet, the code suggests you'll be able to sport a gun while using the jetpack, which could see some truly awesome aerial combat. Rewinding back to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, where jetpacks were featured, it wouldn't surprise us to see jetpacks added to GTA V. Let's hope we get GTA V on the PC before jetpacks are rolled out to console gamers.
VIA teases Crysis played on its Video Wall powered by 8 x 1080p TVs
Yesterday we wrote up a piece covering VIA's incredible Video Wall technology, but I did have to slide in a question: will it run Crysis. It's just something you need to ask when technology like this is shown off to us.
Well, VIA responded to that question directly - calling me out on it, and teasing Crysis being played on its massive Video Wall, which is made up of 8 x 1080p TVs plastered onto a wall. You can see that video above, where Crysis is being played on a massive scale. I'll be in Taiwan next month for Computex, so I think I'll be going in for a play me thinks.

Watch Dogs sequel would "certainly not" take so long to make
Watch Dogs isn't even out yet - and doesn't arrive until May 27 - but Watch Dogs' Creative Director, Jonathan Morin, is already teasing us about the sequel. Not directly, but he talked to Eurogamer saying "Right now there is no such thing as a Watch Dogs 2".
Morin continued: "It's certainly not going to be the same amount of time if we ever embark on such a journey. A big part of it was defining whatever Watch Dogs is. Once you have that starting point, then what becomes interesting is what players want more of - what comes next?". He also mentioned the delay that Watch Dogs required, suggesting the commitment to Watch Dogs' long-term potential. He said that Ubisoft wanted to get the game right, as the future of Watch Dogs is important to them.
He added: "Especially with the delay we have just been really concentrating on getting it [the original Watch Dogs] launched. After that we'll see where it goes - I think Ubisoft is showing more and more that they're willing to take the time for it to be right". When it came to talk of a sequel, Morin suggested that the decision for Watch Dogs 2 isn't going to necessarily be greenlit on sales numbers alone, but more the critical reception of the game would be important to the company, too.

Project CARS video is impressive, with November 2014 release date
You'd better prepare those upgrades to your PC, because after you watch the below trailer for Project CARS, you're going to wait to play it with all of the graphical bells and whistles cranked up to 100%.
It looks incredibly beautiful, with some truly next-gen graphics. Slightly Mad Studios' racing game is expected to reach the PS4, Xbox One, Wii U and PC in November. It will support Sony's Project Morpheus virtual reality headset, which should have PS4 gamers very, very excited.

Latest video of Watch Dogs multiplayer shows hacking, stalking friends
We've already seen the incredibly cool, but supremely destructive Spider Tank in Watch Dogs' digital trip, but how is the open-world game in the multiplayer side of things? Well, a 9-minute video below will showcase that for you.
Watch Dogs' multiplayer takes place in the same world as its single player counterpart, with Watch Dogs' Animation Director, Colin Graham, explaining in the video above. Gamers will be able to connect to other gamers within Watch Dogs, hacking their phones, or through competitive decryption combat. Gamers can also accept contracts and enter the game of other players.
When you're being hacked, you'll receive a notification that you're "being invaded". Once a player has been hacked, you'll need to find the hacker and stop the attack. How would you do this? You can shoot a gun into the air to see the NPCs run, but whoever doesn't, you will know that they are a real-life player, and your hacker that you now have to take down.
Steam offering Red Orchestra 2 free until 10AM tomorrow
We may be a little late to this one, but its not too late for you. Today Steam is offering the Russian shooter, Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad for free in the steam store. To claim the game, you simply need to locate it in the steam store and not only add it to your library, but install it. If you do not install it, it will revert to its normal price to morrow. Installing it makes it your fore ever, for free. The offer ends tomorrow morning at 10AM Pacific.
Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad focuses on the Battle of Stalingrad and the surrounding operations, both German and Russian, from July 1942 to February 1943. The game allows the player to experience one of the most brutal battles in all of human history. Delivering unrivaled accuracy and attention to detail, along with gritty, vicious combat in multiplayer and single-player modes the game will feature everything from quick, brutal firefights to more intricate and challenging tactical modes.
Spider Tank, Spider Tank, do whatever a Spider Tank... uh, Watch Dogs
Watch Dogs is close to release, getting dumped into gamers hands-on May 27, but Ubisoft has just teased a massive portion of the game to Eurogamer: Spider Tank.
What is Spider Tank? Well, the video above does a great job at explaining it. In the game, your character can take a digital drug that makes you experience a massive trip, where you enter the Spider Tank and cause mass chaos. But, thanks to it being a digital trip, there are no in-game consequences.
This video also gives us a closer look at some of the in-game graphics - which are looking sublime. Personally, I think Ubisoft Montreal have fixed up the frame rate issues from previous looks at the game, as there are explosions, bullets, NPCs running around, and yet there are no framerate skips whatsoever. It probably doesn't help that we don't know what setup is running the game, but at least we know it looks great - now just give me that damn Spider Tank, oh and Watch Dogs would be nice, too.

Previously when Apple was bundling MS Office 2008 with their MacBooks and MacBrook Pro machines (at extra cost) they also sent along the disk and Microsoft package. The Product Key is located inside the disk package usually on a yellow sticker. If you don't have the original product key, you're out of luck and will have to purchase a new copy of Office.
However, there are free alternatives to MS Office: LibreOffice, OpenOffice, and if you have a new Mac your can download the iWork apps for free from Apple. |

Apple did not bundle the full version of Office with the Mac, though you may have purchased it at the same time as your machine - and if so - they would have included the disc and packaging at that time. At this point, you would need to purchase a Office 2008 if you can't find that product ID, as I don't believe Office 2011 will run on a version of OS X that old. You may also consider using LibreOffice or NeoOffice, both of which are compatible with Microsoft Office files. Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics! |

Tire Rack Inc. compared four standard touring all-season tires in the third set of results released from its 19th annual tire testing season.
Tires tested were:
* Continental TrueContact (standard touring all-season, 215/60R16 95T);
* Firestone Precision Touring (standard touring all-season, P215/60R16 94T);
* Goodyear Assurance TripleTred All-Season (passenger all-season, P215/60R16 94T); and
* Michelin Defender (standard touring all-season, 215/60R16 95T).
According to Tire Rack, results conclude that all four tires in this test drove and performed well with Continental's latest standard touring all-season tire, the True Contact with EcoPlus Technology, providing an edge over the competition in fuel efficiency, plus both dry and wet traction.
Full test results can be accessed at www.tirerack.com/truecontactresults.
A short video of results can be seen at www.tirerack.com/truecontactvideo.
The company says the comparison is especially designed to show that there is a selection of new standard replacement options available for consumers that can be much more than "basic," thanks to a growing number of new tire designs available for drivers in search of a long tread life, smooth ride and good traction in dry, wet and wintry weather.

According to Merrill Lynch's latest forecast, MediaTek is likely to ship 52 million smartphone chip units in the second quarter and a total of 200 million units in 2013. The growth margin is expected to rise 1 percent, reaching 43 percent.
The financial management and advisory company maintained its "buy" rating for MediaTek and set the target price at NT$370 yesterday.
Merrill Lynch said companies in the smartphone supply chain have benefited from surging demand for the mobile devices in China. Both China's Spreadtrum Communications and MediaTek's shipments are expected to double on a year-on-year basis.
In March alone, users of 3G telecommunications services in China rose by 14.2 million, or a 178-percent year-on-year increase. In light of this, it is still too early for the market to worry about overstocking in the industry, as the chip inventory will decrease fairly quickly, said Merrill Lynch.
MediaTek posted a NT$3.92 billion pretax profit for the first quarter, which reached the higher end of the company's target range and increased 50.8 percent year-on-year on the back of solid smartphone chip demand from China. The IC designer's first-quarter earnings per share before tax stood at NT$2.9.
MediaTek's stock price was up 0.14 percent, closing at NT$366.5 yesterday, following recent news of alleged insider trading regarding the MStar-MediaTek merger.
Both MediaTek and MStar have said the insider trading investigation has not affected the deal, which will take effect on Aug. 1 as previously scheduled.
New Chip Released
In order to expand its presence in the budget smartphone market, MediaTek introduced MT 6572, the company's latest dual-core system-on-a-chip, yesterday.
According to the company, it's the world's first dual-core system-on-a-chip, integrating Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and FM radio for power efficiency and cost effectiveness.
The cost and performance of the new chip will speed up product development for low-end mobile phones, said Jefferey Ju, general manager of MediaTek's Wireless Communication Business Unit.
According to the company's estimates, the chip will be used in hundreds of handset models by June, which will lower the price of budget mobile phones and thus encourage customers to change their mobile devices.
Mass production of MT 6572 will kick off later this month, said the firm.

Savings of $1.00 (10% off).
Some prophecies thwart danger. Others create it. "Fans of contemplative, psychologically rich (but no less action-packed) fantasies à la Ursula Le Guin will welcome this warm, inventive debut" (BCCB, starred review).
High in their mountain covens, red witches pray to the Goddess, protecting the Witchlands by throwing the bones and foretelling the future.
But it's all fake.
At least, that's what Ryder thinks. He doubts the witches really deserve their tithes—one quarter of all the crops his village can produce. And even if they can predict the future, what danger is there to foretell, now that his people's old enemy, the Baen, has been defeated? But when a terrifying new magic threatens both his village and the coven, Ryder must confront the beautiful and silent witch who holds all the secrets. Everything he's ever believed about witches, the Baen, magic, and about himself will change when he discovers that the prophecies he's always scorned…are about him.
Laced with rich, imagined histories; miles of catacombs; and prophecies true and false, Witchlanders takes place in an evocative, tantalizingly vibrant world and raises equally evocative questions: Who gets to defines history? When does a legend become a crutch? And why does the enemy in war look a lot like the hero? Lena Coakley's first novel is a lush, chilling story that is sure to send shivers through your finger bones.

Installer: Error in permissions and handling of umask => Fixed in SVN
Reported by: | jdeblese | Owned by: | |
Priority: | minor | Component: | installer |
Version: | VirtualBox 4.1.18 | Keywords: | permiissions, umask |
Cc: | Guest type: | other | |
Host type: | Linux |
We recently updated a linux machine running 4.1.14 to 4.1.18 (the "all distributions" version), and struggled to get VirtualBox running again. It would start as root, but gave various errors when run as a user. The problem turned out to be fairly simple: both the folder /etc/vbox and the folder /opt/VirtualBox/components had the permissions "rwxr-x---", I suspect because of the installing user having a umask of 027. Granting read and execute permissions on these folders allowed users to run VirtualBox again.
Summary: the installer does not take the current umask into account and leaves the installation in an unusable state.
Error messages seen as a result of this:
- Could not find VirtualBox installation. Please reinstall.
- Failed to create the VirtualBox COM object. (NS_ERROR_FACTORY_NOT_REGISTERED)

The electrial/thermal conductance of rough surfaces - the Weierstrass - Archard multiscale model
Ciavarella, M., Murolo, G. and Demelio, G. (2004) The electrial/thermal conductance of rough surfaces - the Weierstrass - Archard multiscale model. International Journal of Solids and Structures, 41, (15), 4107-4120. (doi:10.1016/j.ijsolstr.2004.02.048).

Rough surfaces show a load-dependent electrical constriction resistance. Here, using a recent analogy due to Barber [Proc. R. Soc. London A 459 (2003) 53] between the incremental stiffness and the conductance in the elastic regime, and the Archard hypothesis to solve the multiscale contact problem, the conductance is found for the profile defined by the Weierstrass series. The analysis is also approximately valid, neglecting thermal effects on the contact area, for the thermal conductance.

You should do your research. Weed isn't bad for you. Recent studies have shown that it doesn't kill brain cells as many have assumed, it only slows them temporarily. It may have a long term effect on memory, but no significant results have been found. Additionally, other research has found no significant effect on your lungs or respiratory function. In fact, those that smoke weed often show better lung capacity because of their practice of inhaling larger amounts of air. There is no comparison between cigarettes and weed. Weed is only psychologically addictive and are without withdrawal symptoms if one decides to "quit" (of course they may be sad that they can't get high anymore, but you could say the same about chocolate). Just my factual 2 cents. |

It's still true. I don't think you understood my point. The law is great and all (and by that I mean stupid), but some people that disapprove of smoking weed often overlook the fact that underage drinking is illegal too. That's all. |

You sir have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

Drinking underage is "illegal," and most of the team is underage. You think even half of the underage football players at Michigan don't drink? Not arguing your point about DB, just saying that they can actually get in more legal trouble for drinking underage (MIP, other illegal actions that being drunk can cause) than smoking weed ($25 fine, slap on wrist).

Edwards on crutches with broken foot but plans to run 2 weekend races at Atlanta
There are 6 comments on the MyFox St. Louis story from Sep 4, 2009, titled Edwards on crutches with broken foot but plans to run 2 weekend races at Atlanta. In it, MyFox St. Louis reports that:
Carl Edwards will race this weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway despite breaking his right foot playing frisbee.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at MyFox St. Louis.
Sep 4, 2009
Jeez Louise, have we got to wrap these guys in cotton and store them in a closet during the season? Carl does all these flips and never gets hurt and now this??? It could have at least been his left foot so it wouldn't take some much stress.
Jan 31, 2012
Edward would need to heal the broken foot first because running with a broken foot could lead to more injuries. Hip fractures are even harder to heal. Know all about the hip procedures at http://www.depuyhipreplacementlawsuit.com/hip... .
Jan 31, 2012
this is really old news. why bring it up. Beth?
Dec 21, 2012
Doctors are the right people to inquire about your concern. It is easier to go a hospital than a clinic because there are various doctors in a hospital with varied expertise. Regarding hip pain, you should know that it is a common problem, and it can be confusing because there are several causes. It is important to make an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your symptoms so that appropriate treatment can be directed at the underlying problem. Related information here: http://www.depuysettlements.com .
Apr 13, 2013
Edwards need to take some time off to heal his foot first before going back on track. I have even read at the http://pinnaclelawsuit.typepad.com that most people who have had a hip surgery needs to have at least 3 months of proper rest.

Las Vegas -- CBS CEO Les Moonves took to the stage at the 40th International Consumer Electronics Show here to demonstrate that there is no longer a distinction between old and new media.
"We're all playing on the same big digital field," Moonves said of supposedly traditional media like his broadcast-television business and upstart ventures putting video and other content on the Web.
To show that CBS was in the game, he shared the stage with some of the biggest names in online entrepreneurship, including the founders of YouTube , the market-defining video-sharing site that had barely launched when the 39th CES was staged, and Sling Media, the company that pioneered the idea of "slinging" shows you see on your home TV through the Internet to a computer wherever you are.
In fact, Sling and YouTube were two partners Moonves brought on stage to show that CBS had its own digital mojo in motion.
Without digging into the potential copyright reuse issues, Sling founder Blake Krikorian introduced a Clip+Sling service that would allow television viewers to easily identify the starting and ending points of parts of shows they have watched, clip them using on-screen scissors and e-mail the clips, along with comments, to friends.
The service was demonstrated with a clip from CBS show Two and a Half Men, with Moonves assuring the audience that the clipping service would respect the rights of content creators. Among the benefits: The e-mail that appears in the recipient's mailbox prompts the user to buy a full episode or subscribe to future shows.
After Krikorian came Chad Hurley, whom no one at this show a year ago considered a factor in the re-emergent field of online video. He sold his company in midyear for $1.7 billion to Google, whose founder delivered a keynote here 12 months ago to tout an online video store that generated little subsequent buzz.
Hurley's message -- iterated by Moonves -- was that the CBS channel on YouTube was itself a success, with 75 million viewings of its content since launch in November.
And CBS is clearly trying to recognize that it understands the short-form video of YouTube, using it to allow viewers anywhere to achieve their 15 seconds -- not minutes -- of fame.
Hurley and Moonves showed off a contest on YouTube where CBS' audience is encouraged to file videos of their own making that last no longer than 15 seconds and send the world a message of their choice. The reward: The best video will be presented on the Super Bowl telecast next month, which is being shown on CBS stations.
This is "changing the nature of viewing television," Hurley said. Online sites, he added, are being used to bring viewers back to conventional television watching.
Moonves was bent on showing that CBS also can dance digitally on its own, with homegrown innovation in interactive content.
Among the examples:
• Paltalk.com, where listeners of the Opie & Anthony talk show on CBS radio stations install Webcams in their homes and interact during radiocasts with the hosts, even if they happen to be doing housework or wearing next to nothing.
• Ourchart.com, where fans of The L Word on CBS' Showtime pay television network can make connections with each other. The device: user profiles that visually show their links to other users. Click on one and that person becomes the center of a new web of straight lines that lead to other users, ad infinitum, in theory. In an example of life imitating art, the idea first surfaced on an episode of the show.
• Fans Only: Watching a shootout between Duke University and Georgetown University while you're relaxing at home? Bring on friends in your video buddy list and watch the game along with them. They'll appear on your screen along with the game; and you can chat and worse from your seat, as if you were in the arena together. You can choose the camera angle you want on a disputed call, as well -- sports-watching on steroids, if you will. Moonves called it "a virtual sports bar for college fans … and you don't have to worry about being carded."
Along the way, Moonves demonstrated his familiarity with the lingo and environs of digital content, making it clear that he knew about the "numma numma dance" and the effects of Mentos when inserted into soda bottles. Professional content, he said, could play on that field, not just YouTube.
"In the blink of an eye, anything's possible," he -- or a digitally produced slide -- added
Moonves also appeared at last year's CES in the Google-Page keynote, touting the delivery of CBS shows through the Google Video Store. That was when CBS first broke off from Viacom.
In the year that passed, CBS' stock price increased 25%, while his counterpart at what remained of Viacom -- Tom Freston -- was fired by the man, Sumner Redstone, who ran both shows.
Freston, by some accounts, lost his job at the company that runs the youth-oriented MTV Networks for not pursuing an acquisition of YouTube aggressively enough.
Now the same kind of buzz is building around an artificial online world called Second Life as did last year around YouTube.
So maybe it was a message to investors and Redstone, and maybe it wasn't, but Moonves covered his bets by also having on stage Philip Rosedale, the founder of Second Life and CEO of Linden Lab, which produces it. There, users can create their own "mash-ups" of, for instance, Star Trek story lines, which is yet another relationship that could help Moonves to avoid a mash-up of his own.

Should I wax my new snowboard?
Just got a neversummer proto HDX, do I need to wax it once before I take it out or is the factory wax good enough?
Absolutely. Factory wax is usually complete shit.
Ok. Good thing my bar of Hertel Super Hot Sauce showed up yesterday.
How long should I wait between wax and scrape? some people say 24 hours. Some say an hour. |
Should I use a base cleaner to get off the factory wax? I guess that only makes sense.
If you want to spend the time to clean it:
Hot Scrape. Put on a layer of wax and then scrape it off right away while it is still warm, this will clean your deck and you can then do a regular wax. Avoid "Base Cleaners" if you can. They strip off everything. Use only for such things as cat grease or pine tar and only spot clean |
waiting longer is better. if you're hotscrape to clean the base... then immediately. |
beers are a good time-keepers when waiting in the garage. |

What was at stake?
Five seats were up for election on November 5, 2013. Those seats were for Districts 1, 5, 6, 7 and 9. Longtime incumbent Lawrence Marshall decided not to run for re-election of District 9.
HISD board members disagree on the best means of using scarce district resources to meet the various needs of the many students enrolled. Regardless of their debate over methodology, candidates from both districts agree that their top priority ought to be maintaining accountability and high standards for their districts. Houston ISD is still struggling with the deep budget cuts in public education imposed in 2011 and adjusting to a narrowly approved tax rate increase.[7] The increase aims to help fund pay raises, as well as the district's Apollo reform program, which allows for specially hired tutors and longer school days.[8] Longtime incumbent Lawrence Marshall of Houston's District 9, did not seeking re-election and is currently under FBI criminal investigation for allegedly taking vendor money.[9]
