How to choose blinds for your home is a great question to have! Choosing to purchase discount blinds is a cost-efficient move for any homeowner, but it helps to get to know the different materials available so you can make the most out of your investment. The three common materials used for blinds are wood, faux wood, and vinyl. Each has its own set of distinct traits that makes it ideal for different uses. Read our tips on how to choose blinds and materials for your home!
Wood: Although more challenging to clean than other materials, blinds made of wood offer a classy, polished look to any home design. Wood blinds are best used in rooms that aren't too humid, such as a bedroom or study. The material has a tendency to warp when kept in moist conditions. Wood is also a natural insulator. Installing wood blinds helps promote energy efficiency in the home. They serve as a barrier between the room and the window, which can help you save energy and lower cooling and heating costs.
Faux Wood: Also known as composite wood, faux wood is a mixture of wood components and synthetic plastic materials. Blinds made with this material provide you with the wood-grain texture of natural wood at a more affordable price. It's even possible to find discount blinds in this material that offer protection from ultraviolet rays as well. Although faux wood blinds lack the large color selection that wood blinds have, you can easily install them in areas or rooms with high levels of humidity. Faux wood blinds aren't prone to warping or cracking; because of their tolerance to humid climates, they can be installed in most rooms, no matter if it's hot or cold outside.
Vinyl: Because vinyl is easy to clean and is available in various colors and grains, it has been a popular choice for those looking for discount blinds. Vinyl window blinds are some of the best options for areas where there's a lot of moisture and frequent direct contact with water, such as bathrooms and kitchens. No single blind is perfect for every room in the house. By looking into the benefits each material provides, it becomes easier to not only narrow down your choices, but also to select discount blinds that will serve your home well in the long run.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/11/2012 (1728 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MONTREAL -- He may never be known as Flash Garneau, but the latest contender for the helm of the federal Liberals hopes his astronaut credentials will give him a lift.
Marc Garneau repeatedly played up his resumé as Canada's first man in space as he officially launched his leadership campaign Wednesday.
The Montreal MP touted himself as the Liberals' best hope for defeating Prime Minister Stephen Harper, having gained the necessary experience and leadership skills during an impressive career before jumping into the political arena in 2008.
"I want to be the prime minister of Canada, I want to be the Liberal leader," Garneau told a news conference in Ottawa shortly after formally kicking off his campaign in his Montreal riding.
"I will talk about my strengths and my strengths are proven... There will be no modesty here. I'm going to speak specifically about what I've done in the navy, what I've done in the space program, including being the president of the Canadian Space Agency."
Garneau insisted he's not daunted by the prospect of going up against fellow Montreal MP Justin Trudeau, son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau and the prohibitive favourite.
"When I sent in my application (to become an astronaut), I was one of 4,000 people and I ended up No. 1," Garneau said. "So, I like to take on challenges and I'm taking on this challenge and I intend to win."
His campaign kickoff was starkly different than Justin Trudeau's launch early last month and the contrast suggests Garneau has plenty of work to do to catch up to the front-runner, both in terms of campaign organization and personal appeal.
Garneau strode into a packed hotel meeting room in his Montreal riding early Wednesday to a standing ovation from some 100 people. The event, however, featured no big-name Liberals, no music, only a few chants of "Garneau, Garneau, Garneau."
Having said repeatedly he wouldn't enter the race unless he was certain he could put together an effective campaign team, Garneau curiously refused Wednesday to name members of his team, other than campaign director Andy Mitchell, a former Ontario MP and cabinet minister.
His launch was significantly more reserved than Trudeau's rally in another part of the city last month. Trudeau received a rock-star welcome when he made his announcement before a boisterous, adoring throng of 500 supporters. The crowd included a number of former MPs, at least one current MP and some of his father's former cabinet ministers.
A number of sitting MPs have since jumped on Trudeau's bandwagon.
Garneau shrugged off questions as to why no MPs are supporting him thus far, suggesting Liberals are waiting to compare all the candidates during five leadership debates in the new year. After that, he said, they'll cast their votes on April 14 with only one question in mind: "Who is the best candidate to defeat Stephen Harper?"
"That is the fundamental question and I believe that I am this person," he said.
On his way into the weekly Liberal caucus meeting in Ottawa, Trudeau welcomed Garneau's entry into the race.
"He's a man of ideas and strength and he is going to be an important player in the coming months in the rebuilding of the Liberal party," Trudeau said. "And I'm very excited he's part of it."
Garneau is well-regarded on Parliament Hill as an earnest, hard-working, intelligent MP. He joins a large field of contestants, which includes Trudeau, Vancouver MP Murray, former Toronto MP Martha Hall Findlay, Ottawa lawyer David Bertschi, Toronto lawyer Deborah Coyne, retired Canadian Forces Lt.-Col. Karen McCrimmon, Vancouver prosecutor Alex Burton and David Merner, former president of the party's B.C. wing.
Toronto lawyer George Takach is expected to join the race today. Ontario government economist Jonathan Mousley is still hoping to enter if he can raise the stiff $75,000 entry fee.
So far, only Trudeau and Coyne have officially registered as candidates, filed the required nomination papers and paid the first of three $25,000 instalments on the entry fee. Garneau said he has also paid the fee and filed his papers but the party has not yet processed his application.

running under the BigSky
I dunno - I have a grid fleece, too but sweat as much in that as I do in a softshell? Maybe I just sweat too much...
I dunno - I have a grid fleece, too but sweat as much in that as I do in a softshell? Maybe I just sweat too much...
there are a lot of grid fleeces out there and like traditional fleece, comes in varying weights- the Cap 4 is the lightest weight grid fleece I'm aware of- I have a couple of R1 pieces which are also grid fleece, but a heavier weight
I didn't mention this earlier, but I always have a insulating garment in my pack when going on long runs in the winter-typically a light down or primaloft piece (like the nanopuff)- isn't used for running, but if we have to take a break (or emergency- the country I run is remote and typically cell service is non-existent)
Was just debating this with myself yesterday on a run. I really need something to block the wind. I have a crapton of stuff I can wear as layers, but nothing really suitable as an outer layer wind blocker.
Take Charge. Train Harder. Suck Less. No Excuses.
Most of the time, I just use the same shells I use in summer or fall. If it's subzero or blowing hard (50mph), I use a slightly larger shell with good hood (and pockets) (Patagonia Krushell, which may not be made anymore) which layers over a couple insulating layers..(I've got an assortment of shells, mostly because I was looking for something better and took advantage of many online sales.)
My primaloft jacket is in my pack for stops, emergency or otherwise, as well as changes in weather or whatever, as mtwarden mentions. It may not come off again after an extended stop (taking pictures of a race), esp. if the temps are colder than I thought they were..
Crazy idea here... but I use a regular windbreaker that's one size larger than I normally wear. I'm not sure if I'd buy one for that purpose, though - I have an old one from when I was pregnant.
I saw this jacket and unsure of the brand but looks perfect for what you want. It's slightly puffed with vents on the side.

Faster Than Your Couch!
Harrier, you are basically right.
I was just hoping there was the ultimate solution out there, just one piece which would be great at all temps below 25. I did not want to accept the reality that sometimes you have to wear many layers (not that I mind wearing them, it just sucks when I have to take them off after the run), and that you will sweat, no matter how you dress, and that this will make you cold in cold weather if you have to walk for some time. So sad, so sad...
But the grid fleece sounds good. Maybe my desire for more winter clothing results from the fact that I own a grand total of 3 fleece jackets (two thin ones, one "thick" Polartec-200), that's all the winter gear I have.
Run for fun.
Couch--I know what you're saying. I just like to poke fun at people that always want to make things more technical than they need to be. So I'm heading out right now for a 15 miler and the temp here is 8F.(in Anchorage it is 17F and Helena yesterday was 41F) So what to wear? The experts say I should dress in layers so I'm thinking to add a fleece vest so I'm toasty for the first 10 minutes but then what? What do I do with this extra layer? Can't tie it around my waist and don't feel like carrying it for 2 hours. Do I need to wear a day pack for a simple run and of course that would sit on my back leading to more sweating in that area leading to more complicated clothing choices--yikes! To think we used to actually do winter long runs in the old days wearing cotton hoodies and the like. Probably a miracle we survived.
In any event I will keep it as simple as I can and always do--I will wear a long-sleeve tech top that has a longer zippered neck and a light cross-country ski jacket. I will be a tad chilly for the first 10 minutes and then I will be fine and even perhaps a little warm during the run as always.
Oh yes, I remember the olden days, I had a favorite cotton hoodie with "Canada" written all across the front...
And then a non-breathing nylon shell on top of that, it was good, down to temps in the single digits - with a cotton T underneath, of course, and those flattering cotton/polyester sweat pants. I wish I could post a picture of these times!
But isn't it funny that with all the choices available today, and all the stuff we have in our running closet, we end up wearing pretty much the same stuff time and time again when it's cold?
Well...I have a Title Nine store credit burning a hole in my pocket, so I was looking at their sale and found the Nano Puff on sale.
I was reading the reviews and was surprised to see someone wore it for a stage race in Nepal and loved it. http://www.titlenine.com/product/559710.do?sortby=ourPicks&from=fn#.UrOIrGCA3IU
So, maybe the new down products are better engineered than the old-school ones I own. My down jacket and vest are not unlike wrapping oneself in a down comforter and trying to maneuver through life looking like the Michelin Man ...
I take back what I said about down not being forgiving/breathable as an aerobic layer...maybe they are now?
Now I'd be curious to hear how you like it, if you do try it out...
the Nano Puff is not down, it's Primaloft- while it handles moisture better than down- it will lose it's loft when wet, and running will make it wet- I think it's a great piece to have in your pack for stops or emergencies, just don't think it's overly ideal for running
I read the review and they stated they wore it before and after running- which it's perfectly suitable for
Geez, you sound just like my husband

I read the review and they stated they wore it before and after running- which it's perfectly suitable for
I read the review, too, and yes, it was mentioned that she only wore it before and after, which is what I suggested in my very first opinion about the jacket.
I just thought if you can have a key piece on an expedition like that and come away loving it, I don't want to steer anyone away. And the first reviewer said she wears hers while running.
I've stood in the store with the jacket in my hand, but I never thought "running".
My final wrap up = mentally I still lump down with synthetic downs/ alternative downs, because in my experience they perform the same - if they get too damp they lose insulating power, and they tend to get too damp because the design of the layers in the garment is trying to keep the filling from getting damp, so it loses breathability. Having it for pre or post run or for an unexpected stop? Perfect.
Running in it? eh...maybe?
I think there are better winter layers out there (ie. merino), but maybe the Nano has solved some of the sweat issues?
FTYC - if you're still out there - - I think if you like it, get it. If it doesn't work well for a running jacket, it will still serve you well post run.
Oh and I still love my soft shell regardless of what any of you say
I generally go for a patagonia zip base layer (http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/womens-capilene-2-baselayer-lightweight-zip-neck?p=44910-0) or a houdini jacket (http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/womens-houdini-jacket-windbreaker?p=24145-0). If really cold or wet, I go for both.
If you want an insulated running jacket good for cold (but not so much for wet weather), try the North Face Animagi
Geez, you sound just like my husband
Uh-oh, that doesn't sound like a good thing
I have one of the the 180s quantum heat jackets. I wore one of their quantum heat shirts and the linked jacket in -4F windchill temps for over 2 hours and was perfectly fine.
Funny, I got a NanoPuff pullover for Christmas.
I didn't really anticipate using for running, but it is much lighter and less bulky than my North Face puffy.
Think it would work better than a traditional down puffy. Probably just keep it as a daily wearer and possible emergency running piece.
Nice jacket though.

The process kicks into gear at 6 p.m. tomorrow, when the administration presents the plan to the City Council in City Hall, 515 North Ave.
Strome made it clear he wasn't happy with the service cuts, but he said a still-sluggish economy and pressure from the state, among other factors, left little choice. Two vacant police officer positions would remain unfilled, and fire department staffing would be allowed to dip below 27 firefighters on duty — to a low of 24 — if too many firefighters were out sick and on vacation.
It would break the tax cap that the state imposed last year, a move that would require an additional public hearing and eventual approval by five of the seven City Council members
The state will require an additional $3 million next year in pension and health care costs, he and Finance Commissioner Howard Rattner said. If the city stayed within the tax cap, the city would have been able to raise an added $1.25 million in taxes, not even half what was needed to cover those costs. That would leave the city scrambling to make up the funds even before beginning to talk about paying for its own operations.
Strome often points out other ways of looking at it. The city tax, he says, makes up 18 percent of a homeowner's total tax bill, with other portions going to the county and the school district. So the added $208 on the average tax bill might be a 7 percent increase on city taxes, but it is about a one percent increase on the total tax bill, he said.

Well, who woulda guessed? My video review of the Motorola Charm is currently over 9k views. Youtube contacted me to ask if I wanted to share in ad revenue, to which I reluctantly agreed. I mean, I'll take their money if I have to but then I have to go to the bank and all that…
So far I have made enough to buy myself a couple coffees. Oh boy! Hey, not complaining, just saying.
I'm actually finding that I will carry the Charm with me more often than the Samsung Vibrant if I am just running to the store. The Charm is just a bit more convenient and I worry less about damaging the screen since it's so much smaller. For anything longer than a short trip its the Vibrant for sure. Screen is fantastic, camera is worlds better and Angry Birds actually works on it. 😉
The battery life on the Charm has turned out to be sub par. I have done everything I can to reduce the drain, but on moderate to heavy use it will only last until about 4pm. Not so great. I may need to look into some accessories that help with battery life.
I got the iPod touch 4G last week and think its a great little device for the money. It is a nice little improvement over the last touch with the higher rez screen, faster processor, sleeker design and cameras. I will say that I was a bit surprised that they limited the cameras as much as they did. I get that it's an inexpensive device, but having only a 0.7MP camera on the back is pretty weak. The camera does a good job but still…
I'm looking forward to trying out the Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet. Not too sure when that will be but I gotta get at one! They look great.
Probably the most exciting thing in mobile coming soon HAS to be the launch of Windows Phone 7! I am really pumped about WP7: it looks great, runs very well, and is something new and interesting!
For quite a while now I have been using various Android phones and really like the OS but am getting a bit bored with it; not as bored as I am with iOS, just that it is feeling a bit…old-ish. Once you try WP7 you will see why I say that. It's just so fresh and modern! (picture me jumping up and down like a three year old)
Well, bored you long enough. Get back to your lawn bowling or knitting or whatever you were doing before. Feel free to argue with me in the comments, or to say something more friendly.

Consistency Problems for Jump-diffusion Models
In this paper consistency problems for multi-factor jump-diffusion models, where the jump parts follow multivariate point processes are examined. First the gap between jump-diffusion models and generalized Heath-Jarrow-Morton (HJM) models is bridged. By applying the drift condition for a generalized arbitrage-free HJM model, the consistency condition for jump-diffusion models is derived. Then a cause is considered in which the forward rate curve has a separable structure, and a specific version of the general consistency condition is obtained. In particular, a necessary and sufficient condition for a jump-diffusion model to be affine is provided. Finally the Nelson-Siegel type of forward curve structures is discussed. It is demonstrated that under regularity condition, there exists no jump-diffusion model consistent with the Nelson-Siegel curves.

It's simple, and free.
Japan overlooks mild but real ethnic differences within the population to promote the idea of a mystic tribal bond that ties all Japanese together and separates them from everyone else.
Student violence is rare in Japanese high schools. In Japan compulsory education ends at the completion of junior high school, when Japanese students are offered a choice between attending high school or not attending high school. Dealing as they do exclusively with voluntary students, Japanese high school teachers are more firmly in control of their high schools, without the help of security guards or of metal detectors, than is true in the United States. Japanese high school teachers are not afraid to admonish students who start to misbehave because the overwhelming majority of students care about their teachers' favorable attitudes (Toby 53).
Because the entire high school student body consists of young people who want to attend, Japanese teachers are able to require of these voluntary students greater studiousness than it is possible to require of involuntary students. Japanese teachers assign a lot of homework. Japanese high school teachers, however, hardly ever are assaulted by their students. On the contrary, high school students pay attention to their teachers, learn much more than American high school students, and graduate from high school in greater proportions (93 percent) than American students. Some foreign observers assume that this is due to the high value Japanese place on education, but this cannot be the entire explanation. If it were, Japanese junior high schools would be as tranquil as the senior high schools, but they are not. Almost all of the school violence in Japan is at the junior high school level (Toby 53).
Discipline problems afflict Japanese junior high schools because attendance is compulsory, just as it is in the United States. The discipline problems of Japanese junior high schools are not as serious as...

Otis Redding
Jump to
For many music listeners, singer Otis Redding embodied soul music. On such defining R&B tracks as "Try a Little Tenderness," "I've Been Loving You Too Long," "I Can't Turn You Loose" and his posthumous hit, "(Sittin' On) the Dock of The Bay," Redding's gritty, impassioned voice could roar like a preacher testifying to his flock or croon like a wounded lover trying to reclaim his beloved's heart. He released just six albums and a handful of singles during his shockingly brief career, but for many, every one of these recordings was an enduring classic, leaving a lasting impact on the tone and fervor of R&B and rock-n-roll. A favorite of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, he provided career-defining hits for Aretha Franklin ("Respect") and Arthur Conley ("Sweet Soul Music"), and had a lasting influence on such performers as Rod Stewart, Janis Joplin, Al Green, Michael Bolton and virtually anyone who brought a touch of Southern soul to their sound. A giant in 20th century popular music, his death by plane crash in 1967 ended a promising career, but immortalized him as the voice of soul for generations.

I can't stress enough how amazing this is. When the Silverlight alpha came out, I was very disappointed due to the fact that there was no standard windows controls (TextBox, DropDownBox, etc). There was also no WCF support, meaning you're basically stuck with glorified JavaScript application. I was consistantly reassured by a good friend of mine who works for Microsoft (Jonathan Cater) that the beta would fix all of that, but I was still skeptical.
Silverlight (as you may already know) brings amazing power to the web world in that you get beautiful rich content abilities, embedded audio and video codecs, cross-browser and cross-platform abilities and more. But many argued that you got the same with Adobe's Flash.
Where Silverlight destroys Flash and Java Applets is in version 2.0 (currently in beta) which brings a powerful slew of .NET support including WCF. WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) gives you the ability to build client / server applications on a TCP based connection, HTTP based connection and more. It's so incredibly easy to use verses the traditional "write it yourself TCP client", that I predict we are going to see a complete change in the Internet as a whole.
Be prepaired for MMORPGs (online video games) that have a Silverlight client end. Be prepaired for big corporations to drop windows apps and build robust (SoA based architecture) applications in Silverlight. Seriously, buy stock in Microsoft right now... and in 2 years cut me a check with a percentage of your profits... I'll accept personal checks.
I'm also pleased with the "windows controls" that are in Silverlight so far. I will admit that I haven't looked too much into them, so don't expect me to give an exhaustive list. But what I will say is that when the alpha came out, I was thinking "what happened to Microsoft!?" But, after seeing the TextBox, DatePicker, Calendar and ListBox I realize that they will not disappoint me with the release version.
Another great thing that I forgot to mention is that there is much better Visual Studio support now for Silverlight. There's intellisense, a nicer editor and the like. Also, when starting a project, you have the ability to create a Web Site, Web Application or just an HTML file, whereas in the alpha, you could only start with a basic HTML file.
Well, I tried porting one of my recent WCF clients to Silverlight (which is basically my test to see how far Silverlight has come in the way of WCF and it's overall usefulness to me), and I'm sadly still a little disappointed.
While it does have WCF support (and it also supports Sockets in the System.Net.Sockets namespace), it doesn't support the "DuplexClientBase" infrustructure.
It does support "ClientBase", which is one-way WCF communications, but I really need to have the call back and OperationContext abilities of WCF in order for this to be a really "connected" application (as apposed to a "request-for-data" application).
Let's see how Microsoft goes from here...
I'd like to thank you first of all for your WCF articles - they've been invaluable.
Do you know if Silverlight 3 is capable yet of using the DuplexClientBase structure? I'm designing a game with a Silverlight client (as you mentioned in your post), but I think I might need to change direction if not.
SL3 *does* support a duplex WCF model, however, it's not exactly the same as the standard WCF net.tcp duplex channel.
The basic differences are that Silverlight will use a polling mechanism to achieve 2-way communications, and the other difference is that messages are fired asynchronously.
It's going to be a slight learning curve using SL3 (especially if you haven't really gotten into Silverlight or WPF much yet), but I think it's worth it.
Here's a blog post from earlier this year about SL3 and the duplex WCF stuff: http://blogs.msdn.com/silverlightws/archive/2009/03/20/what-s-new-with-web-services-in-silverlight-3-beta.aspx
I'm a little bit concerned from my reading, as the Internet's abuzz with rumored scaling issues with PollingDuplex, poor responsiveness compared to TCP, etc. The MSDN documentation says that all methods in my service contract must be IsOneWay enabled, also, which will require me to rethink my design slightly.
I might just go ahead with it (as a learning experience, if nothing else). Do you have any experience with the PollingDuplexBinding, especially with regards to something like a game? The closer to realtime the communication is, the better.
Personally, I haven't really done much with it... and there is always the option of using a straight TCP sockets. I would try to do the polling route and see how it goes. It may require you to rethink the messages you send to the client.
Example: Instead of sending lots of separate "Bob moved by 1,2" commands, you could send an array of 'commands' that represent the current location of GameUsers in the area, where they are going, and the ETA (when then 'should' get there). This would allow you to smoothly animate player's movement on the client end.
I hope it works out for you... If you don't have a blog already, you could blog your progress here on SingingEels. Maybe even write an article when it's all said and done :)
Unfortunately, we decided last night to skip WCF for the Silverlight client and go with sockets. WCF seems very, very cool, and I'd like to work with it, but getting Silverlight to cooperate with a self-hosted duplex service is more trouble than it's worth at this point in time. I spent roughly all day reading up on it, and roughly all night trying to get it to work. No joy. :(
We do have a blog, but it's not much to look at yet. I've been posting daily, but the project started only a few days ago. Might write that article you mentioned once we have something substantial, though!
Thanks again for all of your input.

Must Have Apps for Kindle Fire

Good password vault app
I've had my Kindle for 5 days now and everything I know about it I learned from this forum. As a thank you, I'd like to offer up a good password vault app that will securely store your passwords and allow you to copy/paste them on Web sites and other places that require them. The app is KeePassDroid available in the Kindle App store. There is a
good review of it here
, and the
Help Center is here
To install,
1. Download and install version 2.16 on your computer from
. Build the list of your passwords (it will import from several other programs). Upload this database to Dropbox.
2. Install KeePassDroid version 1.5 on your Kindle via the App store.
3. On your Kindle, go to Dropbox and open the KeePass .kdbx database that you put there from your computer. It launches KeePass on your Kindle and automatically opens the database in read-only mode.
The reason for the two versions is because the Kindle only supports v.1.5. You seriously do not want to enter all of your passwords via the Kindle keyboard, so the desktop version provides the best data-entry. I'm not sure why you couldn't install v.1.5 on your desktop, though, so that the database can be used on the Kindle in non-read-only mode.
To use,
1. Open KeePass on your Kindle and scroll to the password you need. When you select it, two items are created in your Kindle's notification area at the top of the screen. One is to copy the username and the other is to copy the password.
2. Select the notification to copy the username.
3. Go to wherever you need to enter your username. Long-tap to paste the username.
4. Repeat the process to copy/paste the password.
The reviews of KeePass convinced me that this was the most secure app to handle my passwords. I hope you find it useful.

Detailed Description:
In patients with acute myocardial infarction primary PCI without prior thrombolytic therapy, is the treatment of choice.
The recommendation for routine stenting in PCI is based on 4 studies that have demonstrated the usefulness of bare metal stents in patients with STEMI. However this recommendation cannot be extrapolated (yet) to the use of drug eluting stents. Although DES have been used widely in unstable angina and in acute myocardial infarction, to date there are no evidence-based recommendations to support the routine use of DES in STEMI.
GPI have been studied extensively in patients with non-STsegment elevation myocardial infarctions (NSTEMI) with planned or performed PCI. In STEMI tirofiban and and eptifibatide are less well investigated, and only abciximab is recommended in primary PCI, but the long term benefits require more investigation. In PCI randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT's) abciximab consistently showed a significant reduction in the rate of myocardial infarction and the need for urgent revascularization. Abciximab has been evaluated in 5 RCT's in association with primary PCI. The pooled analysis for the clinical outcome at 30 days, demonstrate a significant reduction of death, re- infarction and target vessel revascularization (TVR), mainly due to a reduction of repeat intervention. The long-term benefits require more investigation.
The DEBATER trial is designed to answer the questions about the need for abciximab and about the use of DES in primary PCI.

The iPhone Alley crew are on fire with iFuntastic, their iPhone hacking and modification tool. Just over a week ago they released v2 that brought custom ringtones and reordering apps, and now v2.5 ushers in another major milestone of iPhone hackery: a full file browser and manager. If you've been waiting to dig into your iPhone, edit images and logos or get to even more serious tinkering, this is likely the tool you've been waiting for.
Other new features in this version include replacing any system sounds and coloring iChat SMS balloons. Unfortunately, iFuntastic 2.5 doesn't support PowerPC Macs just yet, but iPhone Alley has promised that the next version - which is set to arrive "any day now" - will.
More details on the changes in this new version and a download link are over at iPhone Alley.

Bryan Adams was a superstar extraordinaire when his MTV Unplugged record hit shelves in late 1997. Following the unplugged format of many artists before him, Adams went for a rootsier take on his massive chart toppers, most successfully "Cuts Like A Knife" and "18 Til I Die". The musicianship is well rounded, with instruments such as the mandolin brought in to balance out the standard electric-band-gone-acoustic feel of countless unplugged-style records. The music holds it's own amongst a sea of sappy acoustic ballads and cheap crowd pleasers, with Adams often ditching his rock n' roll persona for a sensitive singer/songwriter mask. It works 95% of the time, but the rest of the record is a bore.
Lyrics — 9
Bryan Adams has always had a strong sense of lyrical prose, and his ability to write love songs are unparalleled. Seeing as this record offered nothing but past hits, most of the lyrics I had already heard. The stark accompaniment of songs such as "Heaven" really turned me on, especially since the song was originally produced in a dated-1980s fashion (you know, synths & drum machines & the like). His raspy tenor cuts through the chimes of his acoustic guitar, giving the record a pleasurable live feel.
Overall Impression — 7
Bryan Adams' MTV Unplugged is not required listening, but it is worth hearing if you're a devout Adams fan or just a fan of acoustic music in general. Certain songs (Summer of 69, Cuts Like a Knife, I'm Ready, and Back To You) really lend themselves to the acoustic delivery, while others (mainly A Little Love and When You Love Someone) should have been left off the CD. A surprising treat for the listener would definately be the blues jam that punctuates "If Ya Wanna Be Bad - Ya Gotta Be Good". The song is a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of the album, and it proved that Adams could still bring down a house. All in all, Bryan Adams MTV Unplugged is the kind of album that should be played and enjoyed at backyard barbeques, but not necessarily played anywhere else.

I keep thinking that this will be my last article about the failed school systems in America, but I continue to fool myself. I just can't stand by and not comment when I see such injustices perpetrated against our children. They are our future and unless we protect them from these kinds of educational crimes, our future is doomed.
I posted an article some time ago about how a public school had made peanut butter and jelly sandwich into a racist issue. If you haven't already read my previous article here is a link to it so you can read it if you desire to do so.
Well the story isn't over yet. The school principal hasn't given up on her racist agenda. You can't remove racism from society by finding racism in everything you touch. You can't remove racism from society if you never shut up about it. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing, not that what is happening here is a good thing.
This school has been turned into a battlefield of racial tension and all because of the racial agenda of one principal. "Whiteness" is considered an evil. The very color of one's skin is a determent to student and teacher alike according to this principal. Teachers are told they are not capable of teaching any students other than the students of their own color. Students are treated differently according to their skin color. There still are privileged students, but they are the children of "color" not the students with "whiteness". If white is such a bad color why are so many school walls and floors white? I know that was a ridiculous statement, but so is the extreme this principal has taken her "whiteness" agenda to.
The school is oozing with racism but not from the students, not from the teachers, and not from the parents, but instead it is from the school administration. There should have been a red flag on the play the first day that this principal found racism in everything she touched. That is the way it was originally stated "she found racism in everything". Usually if you find racism in everything then more than likely you are either a racist yourself or you are paranoid. Either way you should not be teaching students, let alone be a principal. There is zero racism in peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but I am sure a racist can find some racism in the sandwich if they really wanted to.
Approximately half of the staff from 2010-11 left the school when the year was over, I doubt that half of the staff was so racially biased that they had to leave the school. Students have also been exiting the school because of the environment. It is a racially hostile environment. The principal has told human resources that she ONLY wants bilingual teachers but she goes even further than that. She wants teachers with no accent, she isn't against Spanish accents just English accents. That is racism my friends. She is building up the racial tension with her agenda.
One administrator stated that this "whiteness" has to do with the predominate culture, not the skin color. I have one question for that administrator. What is the predominate culture in America? Is it African American, is it Mexican, is it Islamic, or is it Asian? Of course it is none of them, it is a European culture hence a "whiteness" culture. Of course "whiteness" is the predominate culture and as such it is the culture that these students have to survive in, not in some artificially created culture in some alternative classroom culture.
But that isn't telling the whole story of American culture because America is supposed to be melting pot. All the people who come here bring their own culture and they blend their culture into the melting pot, at least that was the way it worked for years. Our culture is a blend of all cultures but it is predominately white because we are predominately white.
The melting pot worked great until the liberal mindset decided to change that. There is a famous motto in America which goes like this "United we stand and divided we fall." You can't have a united group or united country if you push for racial segregation and push for cultural difference. That is really what this principle is pushing, she is not helping the blending within the melting pot. She is dipping out a particular group and putting them in an isolated pot away from the real American melting pot. She is letting them stew away from mainstream America and that will feed the racial separation in America, not cure it.
America is predominately white, face it, wake up and see the white wash. I'm not saying that it is necessarily a good thing or bad thing that America is predominately white. I am saying it is just a fact of life in America. Isolating young impressible minds from the reality is not the way to teach them how to deal with reality. If they are raised in an isolated environment then they will probably never realize what reality is and they will never know how to deal with it.
You may wonder why the school system doesn't do something if it is so bad? That is a complicated question to answer. This particular school has never been a stellar school and has a long way to go to even come close to being acceptable. So it has been turned into a guinea pig school. The school system is experimenting with the school to see what happens with the removal of all "whiteness". I'm sure also that the school system is afraid of being called racist if they act against a principal who claims to be such an advocate against racism. The problem is also that the "whiteness" agenda problem is a minor problem for the school board since the white race is a minority in the neighborhood.
There is a problem with the education of the minorities in America, but it isn't the whiteness that holds them back. It is the climate that they are raised in. If you are raised in a home where your father and/or mother doesn't work for living but yet they get a paycheck, then you will never see the value in excelling in school or in anything else. Other parental actions also set the example for the children. If the children are raised in a home where the parents aren't even present, how can the children expect to learn responsibility? If the children have no responsible adults in their personal life at all, how can anyone expect anything different out of them? If you want to improve the student's performance in school then improve their home life. I'm not talking about giving anyone a handout. I'm talking about bringing morality and personal responsibility back into the home. Try it and the results will floor you. It is the only way that we will ever make a difference in the education of the underprivileged.
Give America and Americans their moral compass back and the country will quickly change back to the powerhouse that it once was. Home life in America will greatly improve. Children throughout America will have a reason to learn and excel in school. The world will be a better place with a moral America.
If you are wondering how the students perceive this environment then read the following comment posted by a former student. It will give you an idea of what kind of impression this school is making on its students. There is also a comment from a former employee at the school which isn't very flattering either, but I didn't copy it here.
"as a former Harvey Scott student, I am almost ashamed to say that I came from that school. "DR. G" as she rightfully clamed herself and wouldn't reply to anything else, is fireing all the teachers that are not bilingual or because they are white because of their skin color. Before she arrived my 8th grade year, most of the students did not see race as an issue and went through the day as if nothing was diffrent between us. But when she was princable of our school she intintionally segregated the students mentally and emotionally by starting groups that were meant to be open for all students, but only those of latino or African decent were allowed in. also she would (in my experience) treated students of white decent with less respect because of our so-called privlages. DR. G came to Harvey Scott to improve its reputation, but instead caused it to be recognized as a racist school and it is a shame it has to be that way."
If you wish to learn more or read more comments about this story here is a link to more information on the subject. Please DO read the comments, they are very enlightening, at least some are. There are many ex-students from that school and from ex-students from the principal's prior schools. I didn't see any flattering comments from any of the students.

Johannesburg, Aug 15 (ANI): Banned Pakistani leg-spinner Danish Kaneria has said that he has filed an appeal in a London court against his life ban for spot-fixing and has vowed to fight on to clear his name.
According to Sport24, Kaneria was banned for life last year after an England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) disciplinary panel found him guilty of spot-fixing in a 2009 county match, in which he allegedly lured his Essex county team-mate Mervyn Westfield into conceding a set number of runs for money in a pre-arranged deal.
The report further said that Kaneria's appeal against the penalty and an attempt to have it reduced were both rejected earlier this year.
However, the player has not lost hope, saying that he has filed an appeal in the Commercial Court through his lawyer in England, adding that his fight against the ban will go on until he is proven innocent.
Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif, famous for blowing the whistle on teammates' involvement in match-fixing in 1994, demanded an independent inquiry, either by the British High Court or by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on the Kaneria issue.
The report also said that the ban prevents Kaneria from playing any international or domestic cricket worldwide as boards under ICC's jurisdiction have agreed to uphold punishments imposed by individual countries in such circumstances. (ANI)

Dear Jared Leto,
Stop trying.
Just stop trying.
I'm sure you're glad to see that the general disdain and feeling of each other's life worth is mutual.
Yesterday's Parachute Pants
P.S. Just to drive home the point, you look like an idiot.
P.P.S. I'm onto you. I know this isn't the first time you've referenced Parachute Pants' fall from grace. Is there a fetish you want to talk to us about?
• Aguilera Rings the Bell
• Morning LCD Roundup
• Future Generals Just Learning That TV Isn't Real
• Spend Time in H-A-W-A-I-I
I cannot believe I used to think he was sooooo hot in "my so called life". WHAT is he on? He looks and acts like a complete lunatic! What's with these outfits?!!
Um... what exactly is this guy famous for other than whom he dates? Cameron, Scarlett and even Lindsay (UGH!) are better off without him.
No matter how many times I look at it, I still think the first one is Michael Jackson.
Which, when you put it all together, isn't all that surprising.
Oh dear God.
You know those people that are obviously SO DERANGED and SPASTIC they just can't help themselves and do and say things that are so desperate and pathetic in order to get attention 24/7 and you end up actually feeling a little embarassed FOR THEM???
Yes, yes Jared. I'm talking about you. I totally get now why you would want us to believe blogs will fade away like some fad....I would too if I were you.
Jared: What are you doing .... come back to the planet, let's make some movies.
Jared Leto= Whiny little emo biyatch. you heard me, now go cry 'til your eyeliner runs, Jared.
leto's a wannabe!
CELERITYPUKE.com ya all!!!
Gawd, if you MUST wear eyeliner, at least learn to put it on nicely... you want it to HIDE the fact that your eyes are too close together, not make them look like two tiny islands floating in the middle of a sea of big fat head.
He's fucking looped man... the next Tom Bat-Shit-Crazy Cruise, only fruitier and less successful
You know, as an actor, he wasn't really THAT bad. We (nearly) all love Jordan Catelano, even if all he did was look sad, confused, or annoyed in different orders every episode. He was acceptable in "Fight Club" and "Requiem". Perhaps he needs the same memo many actors need: "Dear ____, Please Just Act. Please stop trying to sing, or write, or have REALLY IMPORTANT OPINIONS. Please go back to just acting, which you were good--or at least not brain-hemmorhagingly(sp?) bad--at. Thank you, The Public."
"You know those people that are obviously SO DERANGED and SPASTIC they just can't help themselves and do and say things that are so desperate and pathetic in order to get attention 24/7 and you end up actually feeling a little embarassed FOR THEM???"
Like most bloggers?
is it really that hard to understand where he was coming from with those comments? i think they are pretty justified and while they sound like he is just being a dick and all the crazy outfits and personality that he exudes are a little ridiculous at times i think he is completey reasonable in asking people to stay out of his business or at least be mature and responsible for what they publish
I would love to see you walk up and say all of this to his face.
ok i would like u to go up to all the echelons and the band and say that shit u dont no huim and we do...i think this u probably like him and ur bein an ass because ur emplyees will hate u well guess what (news flash) u are not in highskool u need to tell the people u work with that u love him
I don't know what the huge problem is here. He - and you and me - can do what they want as a form of self expression. If you don't like it, don't watch. I'd kick someone's ass if they told me I couldn't color my hair the way I want or dress the way I want. That just makes me want to do it that much more.
Have ya ever thought that maybe he is sick of being thought of as Jordan, and when people say 'oh bring the old Jordan back!' it makes him "rebel" that much more? That kind of spirit is in everyone.
Let the guy be who he wants to be. Real or fake, who cares? As long as he's not hurting anyone, it's really none of my damn business.
okey first Jareds the sexiest man alive and all you dumb ass ppl who talk all this shit are only doing it because you dont know anything about him he is a good ass actor/artist hes generally a nice guy unless your stupid ass ppl like you hes very talented and more than Jordan Catalano and you would so get fucked up if you went up to him or the ECHELON and said all that
What are you guys talking about?
I can't believe you would say things like that about Jared leto.
You're obviously not a very smart person, might I add.
Have you ever seen his acting? Have you ever listened to the music him and his band make?
...apparently not.
NOW I COMPLETELY understand why Jared hates bloggers so much.
He's right, blogging should die a sudden death.
This is completely ridiculous. People say and do things in the world of blogs that they would never do in real life, and I think its a false experience.
You come with this saying all these false negative statements against Jared when you have absolutely NOTHING to back up your opinion. While I on the other hand have about more than a million people who will have my back.
You apparentely have no idea about the immense talent that Jared is gifted with. And concerning his appearance, he doesn't care what he looks like, he is not some egotistical jerk obssessed with his image. He just lets himself out. And I think you should try that, try to find yourself, because you're apparently at some type of loss, because you spend you're whole life writing false statements about amazing people who don't deserve that type of negativity towards them.

As has already been discussed on this mailing list, there remains a bug in DrScheme on Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2, that periodically causes the file navigator (the dialog box that opens to navigate directories whenever opening or saving a file) to freeze for a few seconds when navigating directories. It has been causing much frustration when saving files in a busy, time-pressured environment. This bug has been persisting since at least v372, and has not yet been resolved in v4.1.1, either. This is the problem: In DrScheme on Windows XP Professional, Service Pack 2, when I try to open or save a file and need to navigate through a folder hierarchy, at first the file navigator seems to work fine. But after navigating through, say, five or six directories, suddenly the file navigator will freeze and not respond to mouse input for several seconds (the exact number of seconds varies between three to eleven or so seconds). Then it will respond again, only to freeze again in the same manner after several more seconds. This causes much pain and grief when rushing to save files before running to catch the train on my way back home from work (I often study programming in my spare time after work before running home), and can cause a risk of missing the train if the freezing becomes too severe. Previously, discussion of this bug had led to the hypothesis that perhaps it had been caused by Windows itself as a result of navigating through local folders on a networked computer. However, two days ago, I happened to install and try out a very similar programming tool, newLISP v.9.4.5, which has an almost identical file navigator, and discovered that that tool does not freeze under the same conditions. Therefore, it seems that this bug is not caused by Windows. Therefore, apparently it must be some kind of bug in DrScheme itself. Given that the same bug does not occur in a very similar file navigator in a very similar programming tool for a very similar language, newLISP v.9.4.5, can anybody use this information to figure out a way to debug this bug? Is there any process in DrScheme that runs periodically every few seconds that could cause the file navigator to freeze for several seconds on Windows XP, Service Pack 2? I enjoy working with DrScheme, and would work with it more if I didn't have to worry about losing time repeatedly (and possibly missing a train) because of this frustrating file navigator bug. -- Benjamin L.

TWO burglars who stole wrapped Christmas presents after breaking into a caravan in Stourport have been jailed.
Joe Glyptis, 26, and Ernie Taylor, 27, both of Stourport, took the gifts worth £600 from a caravan outside a home at The Birches.
The duo appeared before Kidderminster Magistrates where they were jailed for 18 weeks after admitting the burglary, which took place on December 17 last year.
Glyptis, of The Gables Yard caravan park in Broach Road, and Taylor, of Lickhill Road, were also given concurrent six-week sentences after admitting the theft of a wheelie bin, which they had stolen from another property nearby in Willowdene to transport the presents.
The pair were caught after Stourport patrol officers PC Paul Modley and PC Stephen Harris recognised Glyptis and Taylor from descriptions phoned in by a member of the public and tracked them down to a caravan park.
They were overheard by the officers talking about the crime inside a caravan.
A search led to the wheelie bin being found nearby along with the wrapping paper inside it. Police subsequently recovered all the stolen presents, which included clothing and toys.
Speaking after the case, PC Modley said that when the presents were recovered the elderly woman who owned them did not even realise they were missing. She was traced after police found her details on a discarded box inside the wheelie bin.
PC Modley said: "Glyptis and Taylor were arrested very quickly and it was fitting that they were remanded in custody over the Christmas period because the theft of the presents could have ruined the festivities for the victim and her relatives.
"Fortunately there was a happy ending for her while the offenders ended up losing their liberty over Christmas – you could say they got their just desserts.
"We're very grateful to the gentleman who reported this pair acting suspiciously in the area that night and it illustrates the importance of telling us when you see such activity rather than doing so hours or even days afterwards.
"It's something we have been stressing as part of our Citadel initiative addressing burglary and this is a classic example of an occasion when we have been able to quickly follow up on information and get a result.
"The force takes burglary very seriously and those who commit such crimes can expect custodial sentences, as has happened in this case."

Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope
While a Schmidt-Cassegrain is compact and gives excellent results when not pushed near its design limits, the relatively large secondary obstruction reduces image contrast. This, and other design compromises, mean that this telescope cannot match the optical performance of Maksutov telescopes or Newtonian reflectors of equal manufacturing quality.

Here I Sit, Knowing All of This
HUBRO 2016 / Digital / Vinyl
From Hubro:
"On their third album the guitar, bass and drum trio Monkey Plot are going electric again after having cultivated a purely acoustic sound for several years. Their music still evokes an impression of intimacy, although the band's roots in rocking improvisational music now come more clearly to the fore.
Recognisable, but new. Challenging, but accessible.
The group's acoustic music was designed for small rooms: living room music. On their new album they have moved down to the basement. Their music still suits small spaces, but the volume is turned up and the energy is different. But rather than presenting raucous, noisy rock-club improv, they have developed a kind of ambling, makeshift form of expression, which is their own unique sound. Recognisable and new. Challenging, but accessible.
The Swedish poet Pär Thörn has collaborated with the band at a number of concerts and on a cassette release. He reads his own poem on the track "Kalla Handen" on the album.
Here I Sit, Knowing All of This was recorded on analogue tape at Athletic Studio in Halden, was mixed by Jørgen Træen and mastered by Helge Sten at Audio Virus Lab."
Angående omstendigheter som ikke lar seg nedtegne
Released on HUBRO 2015 CD / LP / DIGITAL
The members of the acoustic trio Monkey Plot have been playing together for five years. With acoustic guitar, double bass and drums, they have carved out an expressive idiom which evokes other musical references, but which is at the same time unique.
Monkey Plot's style is intimate and often unpretentious. It would seem more accurate to call it "music for small spaces" rather than the more formal-sounding "chamber music". There is namely something straightforward and "grounded" about the band's music. Although dramatic effect has been abandoned, their music has become neither boring nor lifeless. Monkey Plot is an improvisational band, in the sense that improvisation is the tool used by the trio's members to make music. They describe it themselves as a simple method that gives a varied and organic result. The music is always pressing onwards. Nevertheless, it would be wrong to categorise their music as belonging within the improvisational genre.

Dancing wood, ringing bronze and the sound of resin on horsehair. "Løv og lette vimpler" (meaning leaves and light streamers) is the title of the norwegian trio Monkey Plot's debut album. It was recorded in the living room to free jazz pioneer Frode Gjerstad. With its simplicity, organic sound and structure, their music can be seen as a contrast to the consumer society. It breaks the barriers of genre definitions, but draws inspiration from different kinds of folk music, acoustic icons as Neil Young and Nick Drake, and the experimental noise, improvisation and jazz scene.

Brothers Francis and Raymond Cychosz
December 7, 1941 — Pearl Harbor, HI
Francis Cychosz / USS Arizona, sent a photograph of himself standing in front of the Iolani Palace, home to his Mother, Mrs. Josephine Cychosz and cousin Florence Cychosz in Bessemer, Michigan.
Francis' older brother Raymond Cychosz, a member of the famed 10th Mountain Division, was seriously wounded, paralyzed from the waist down, while capturing Hill 802 near Torre Iussi, Italy. Raymond was awarded the Bronze Star for helping to take out a German machine gun after he had been wounded. April 14, 1945, little more than 2-weeks before the Germans surrendered in Italy.
Their father had been killed in an accident when the boys were infants. The lumber truck that he was driving was hit at the Bessemer depot railroad crossing by a string of runaway freight cars.
