Revision as of 13:41, 18 September 2012 by Jasper1984 (talk | contribs) (→Image preprocessing: new section)
The VLC section recommends v4l:// to view and record from the webcam. This produces errors unless v4l2:// is used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video4Linux says V4L1 support was dropped in kernel 2.6.38. Should this be changed or additional information included to the wiki? Corburn 16:02, 5 March 2012 (EST)
- Definitely, please just update the article, there's no need to keep outdated information. If you want you can also spend a few words about the deprecation of v4l in favour of v4l2. -- Kynikos 05:19, 6 March 2012 (EST)
Image preprocessing
Any programs with configuration to make a dark image/detect broken pixels and set up preprocessing to help against it?(preferably in the configuration) I guess it is a bit of an 'advanced' feature.

Mark Cuban on what inspired him to buy the Mavericks
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban appeared on the Artie Lange show. Here are some highlights.
On buying the Mavs
Mark Cuban: It never even crossed my mind. I was a season-ticket holder for probably six years before I finally sold broadcast.com to Yahoo! I was at opening night with my then girlfriend, now my wife, the '99-2000 season. It wasn't a sellout, there was no energy in the building. It was then, literally not a day before, and I said, 'You know what, I can do a better job than this. I reached out to Mark Aguirre, who I'd met through a friend. He introduced me to Ross Perot Jr. and the whole thing happened in about a month or two.
On Bud Selig telling him to not even think about getting into baseball
Mark Cuban: They told me don't even think about it. I went around and talked to a bunch of owners, and the owners I talked to, and this is during the whole Cubs thing. They were all really supportive ... except for one. One guy out of Chicago basically told me, it's not going to happen. In some respects I glad I didn't (buy the Cubs) cause I'd weigh like 600 pounds. They'd find me frozen to a seat in right field with seven hot dogs stuck to my head. It's different in the NBA, David Stern and I have had our battles, but I've always completely respected him. It took some time, but I think he grew to realize that I was just trying to do things that I thought would improve the league. And a lot of things that I tried to do to help the league have come true and really have helped. But according to the owner from Chicago ... I asked him why and he said 'You're outspoken; you're irreverant, you're not always going to take orders from authority. It also creates an issue where it might uproot your power, and I think that scared him. And I know when he heard about the Leno comments, somebody told me that he was really pissed. So that made me feel good.

Last night, Carrie and Logan returned from their hike all a-glow. Logan in-particular seemed moved by the adventure. A woman of few words, the gleam of her face and twinkling blue eyes told a story her voice did not.
I presented my friends with the meal I had prepared only to learn that both women hate bell peppers. Hate bell peppers? But they're so… innocuous! That's like hating celery or Saltine crackers or Jane Pauley. I mean, I can understand not loving them, but they're not dramatic enough to warrant hate!
"I just wanna be loved!"
After some bell-pepper picking and grumbling, dinner was served. The ladies had stopped on the way home and bought Slurpees to mix with the fancy rum that Corey had bequeathed. Between the two ingredients, I concocted an elixir that made you tipsy just by smelling it. Carrie and I fought over who would get the cherry-flavored, and as usual, she won.
We re-arranged the furniture in the living room and created an impromptu theatre, then popped in a DVD of Wes Craven's "The Hills Have Eyes," which had been recommended to me by Kirk, one of the VIP's of the Amoeba Music DVD depot. I asked for a desert themed horror film and, like a computer, out came his suggestion.
Just one of many heart-warming moments from "The Hills Have Eyes"
I'm not a fan of horror films, per se, though I'm not opposed to them. I just never find them scary. Like, ever. My idea of a horror film is "Bowling for Columbine" or "An Inconvenient Truth". Or, if you really want to see me sweat, tie me down and force me to watch "Dumbo". I will pee.
[insert sound of Job screaming here]
What I am a fan of is seeing horror films with sexy chicks who shriek, hide their eyes, and clutch my arm; Corey, Carrie and Logan all fit this description.

Vaccinating at home is a much less expensive way to vaccinate your dog. You can save a lot of money doing your dog's vaccinations yourself.
It's Easy
While you may feel a little nervous the first time, it gets easier every time you do it. Most vaccines are given under the loose skin over the shoulder. View our "How to Give Your Dog a Vaccine at Home" video for additional help.
It's Guaranteed Fresh
Because we sell so many, we receive fresh vaccines every week. All of our vaccines are shipped with ice packs in an insulated carton and in strict accordance with federal regulations. We also recommend that you request Next Day or Second Day Air service when you order vaccines.
It's Less Stressful On Your Pet
The comfortable surroundings of your home are the most natural and relaxed place to vaccinate your pet. And it's convenient to you.
We're Here To Help You
If you ever have any questions about vaccinating your pet and want us to walk you through the procedure, please feel free to call one of our representatives at 1-800-381-7179. Or if you would like more information about vaccines, please visit our
Pet Care Center.
How To Vaccinate Your Pet
Then inject . . . it's easy!
Subcutaneous vaccines:
Most vaccines may be given just beneath the skin. For dogs, the best and least sensitive area is the loose skin over either shoulder. Avoid the area between the shoulder blades. Simply lift the skin, insert the needle, pull back slightly on the syringe plunger to be sure the needle is not in a blood vessel (if it is, blood will enter the syringe as you pull back the plunger), and then administer the vaccine. This method is called subcutaneous (under the skin) vaccination.
Intramuscular vaccines:
Some vaccines may also be given intramuscularly (into the muscle). However, if given the choice, the subcutaneous method described above is the easiest and safest way for you to administer vaccines. There are certain vaccines that must be given intramuscularly. Have a veterinary professional show you how to give an intramuscular vaccine.
Intranasal vaccines:
Most intranasal vaccines need to be mixed like injectable vaccines. After mixing, the needle is removed and an adapter supplied by the manufacturer is placed on the end of the syringe. In some cases the vaccine is drawn up into a dropper. Generally the entire dose is given, half in each nostril. It is normal for animals to sneeze or shake their heads after the vaccine is given.
Note: If your dog is sensitive or hard to handle, ask someone to help you hold your dog while you give the vaccine.
Use Needles & Syringes Only Once
With any vaccine or injectable medication, always use a separate sterile needle and syringe for each injection. Safely dispose of all used syringes and needles.
If you have any questions about vaccinating your pet at home, please feel free to call one of our friendly Customer Service representatives at 1-800-381-7179.

The view from the summit of Mount Holyoke made it an important tourist destination in the 1800's. A group of business men from Northampton built a small cabin on the summit in 1821. Visitors could not only take shelter there but also enjoyed "refreshments of every kind." In 1829, the cabin was bought by John and Fanny French, who replaced it with a small hotel named the Prospect House. The hotel had a dining room, rooms for overnight guests, and an observatory which had a 60-power telescope. This postcard shows Prospect House with the original building and the 1861 addition. You can also see the roof of the covered tram which ran from the half-way house to the summit. French built the first tram in New England in 1854 to bring water and supplies to the hotel. He soon realized that the tram could also provide transportation for people. The tram gained 360 feet of elevation over its 600 foot length, which gives the sensation of going almost straight up. The tram was enclosed with a roof and walls in 1867. It was in operation until 1941. The Prospect House was purchased by Joseph Skinner in the early 1900's. He donated the hotel and property to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for a state park in 1939.

How to Find Affordable Health Insurance
With all the debate about the new federal Affordable Healthcare Act, there is not much discussion on how to find health insurance for your budget now. Some of the changes have already happened. But many more changes won't go into effect until 2014. And of course, the verdict is still out on exactly how these changes will impact the healthcare system.
So where does that leave you now if you are unemployed, self-employed, or your current employer doesn't offer health insurance as a benefit? There is hope! Here are a few places to look if you need affordable coverage.

MILFORD � "These trails are not for beginners," reads a sign in a kiosk less than a quarter-mile up a granite-strewn slope.
It is evident from the sharp drops off boulders, the twisting single-track path corrugated with tree roots, and the dips and chutes that make for exciting mountain biking that this terrain is for people who know what they're doing in the outdoors.
The 46-acre woodland parcel known as "Vietnam," purchased by the nonprofit New England Mountain Bike Association in 2003 to preserve as open space, draws skilled mountain bikers from throughout the region, who come for the site's technical features and scenic beauty.
NEMBA representatives say the place earned its name because it's so rough and wild.
The property is part of the 1,200-acre Upper Charles Headwaters Area straddling Milford, Holliston and Hopkinton, north of Interstate 495 between Routes 85 and 16. Besides Vietnam, the area holds a network of trails, including the paved Upper Charles Rail Trail used by hikers, bikers, runners and equestrians.
While Vietnam's habitu�s might not be beginners when it comes to mountain biking, members of the non-political NEMBA find themselves having to get up to speed on a debate new to the region, over a proposed $1 billion resort casino that could be built nearby.
"I think the proximity to our property has the potential to impact us greatly," said Eammon Carleton of Oxford, president of the Blackstone Valley Chapter of NEMBA. "NEMBA is neither for or against gambling. We just don't feel this is the right location for it."
NEMBA has posted an action alert on its website informing members about the proposed casino and urging them to voice their opposition.
A townwide referendum on a host community agreement between casino developers and the town is scheduled for Nov. 19.
"Unfortunately, only Milford residents have the ability to vote. We do have a couple of Milford members who have been active in the casino opposition," Mr. Carleton said.
Foxwoods Massachusetts and its investors, Crossroads Massachusetts LLC, own rights to develop 187 acres consisting of five parcels west of Route 16 and along I-495. The land lies just a small parcel away from Vietnam's southeastern border.
The proposed casino parcels are in Milford's business park zoning district, so even if the referendum is approved by a majority of voters, a zoning bylaw amendment to allow resort casinos in that district would have to be approved by a two-thirds majority at a special town meeting Dec. 9.
Milford Town Planner Larry Dunkin said that the zoning change would also allow casino developers to request a building height up to 145 feet, instead of the current restriction of 60 feet, or five stories.
If Foxwoods wins local approval, it still must compete for the single Eastern Massachusetts resort casino license with Wynn Resorts in Everett and Caesars Resorts at Suffolk Downs. The state Gaming Commission expects to award the license next spring.
Foxwoods might have political hurdles to overcome, but local mountain bikers fear its development could ruin their wilderness destination.
John Vosburg of Holliston, NEMBA's chairman of the Vietnam Land Management Committee, explained that passive recreation users have grandfathered permission to use the myriad trails snaking from the main roads to Vietnam.
The casino would block access a half-mile from the Dunster Road trailhead in Holliston, one of three main approaches, taking routes like Swamp Bypass, 50 Yards the Hard Way, Lost Trail and Whale Rock out of commission.
"It would take out a good chunk of the trails that are used," Mr. Vosburg said.
He said that studies have shown passive recreation users, like hikers and mountain bikers, tend to take care of the trails and keep remote areas from attracting dumping and other illicit activity.
NEMBA members have been active caretakers for the land since they raised more than $200,000 to purchase and preserve Vietnam a decade ago.
"I have a lot invested in the property," Mr. Carleton said. "I've spent one to two days a week doing trail work. I feel like I have a lot of sweat equity in it."
He added: "It's been an incredible asset. It's given us an opportunity to expand, and promote ourselves as land managers, as well as land users."
NEMBA summarily rejected an offer for the Vietnam property a few years ago from Ajax Gaming Ventures, a Crossroads investor, which offered $35,000 for a one-year purchase option, based on a $1.65 million sale price.
"That would be a serious breach of trust," said Philip Keyes, NEMBA's executive director. He said that donors contributed to purchase the land to preserve it for open space and that its commercial development was out of the question.
John Connor of Holliston, who stopped to talk during his bike ride along the Upper Charles Rail Trail in Milford recently, said he mountain bikes often in Vietnam.
He adamantly opposed the casino.
"We have one of the best recreation areas in the country that would be totally devastated by commercial casino interests," he said. "It's opposite to healthy recreation."
One of Mr. Connor's biking companions, Joel Arbeitman of Ashland, who founded the Ashland Bike Club, said he was particularly concerned about traffic � and potentially drunken drivers � heading to and from the casino at all hours.
He said, "We're looking to expand more bicycling, safer bicycling. Anything that's going to expand traffic is not helpful."
Pointing out 13-year-old Shayne Desroches of Hopkinton, who was hit by a car and killed while biking along Route 85 in September, Mr. Arbeitman said: "You tell me how many 13-year-old boys are going to die so we can have more revenue for the town of Milford."
The casino battle will be fought on many fronts � economic, infrastructure, public safety and social impacts, to name a few.
But for those who appreciate the natural benefits and challenges of recreation in the Upper Charles Headwaters, a casino would irreversibly alter their paradise.
"I came from California. I've seen what casinos can do to a community," said Mr. Vosburg. "I'd hate to see that blight come to an area that people already enjoy."

Home │ Project Timeline │ Budget Breakdown │ Activities Report │ Expenses Report │ Project Team
Monmouthpedia is the first Wikipedia project to embrace a whole town—specifically, the Welsh town of Monmouth. This was done through installing Cream plaques containing QRCodes next to buildings and other objects and linking these to Wikipedia articles.
A QR Code (it stands for "Quick Response") is a cell phone readable bar code that can store website URL's, when scanned by a smart phone, it will direct the browser of the smart phone to the url.
A blue plaque is a tool used to commemorate significant sites (sites can be significant to a community for a whole host of reasons). It is an invitation to people to discover more about a site and its history. The iconic look is the circular shape with white writing on a blue background. It is currently estimated that there are about 150 to 200 blue plaques in and around Johannesburg.
The aim of this project is to increase Wikipedia coverage of iconic buildings around Johanesburg with historic and heritage importance. QR codes ( in a ceramic or metallic plate ) will be installed next to blue plaques in Johannesburg city as a pilot project during the year 2013.
Impact and Monitoring
QRpedia is able to track the number of times a QRCode is used and the language wiki being accessed, this will be a valuable tool in assessing the impact of this pilot project and feasibility of rolling it out to more blue plaques around the city. A feedback mechanism is however required to allow users to interact with articles and ultimately city authorities to commend or report vandalism. Crowd sourcing and other software tools must be considered in order to monitor and boost the impact of this project.
External Portal and discussions

The following summary provides the most important details from State Auditor Dave Yost's investigation into the manipulation of student data by the Columbus City Schools:
The following summary provides the most important details from State Auditor Dave Yost�s investigation into the manipulation of student data by the Columbus City Schools:Overall
Columbus schools administrators fostered a culture of cheating in which principals were pressured to change student data to make their schools and the district look better. Several told investigators that then-Superintendent Gene T. Harris was aware of the cheating and had been told several times that it was taking place. The scheme can be traced back to at least 2002.Changing grades
In the 2010-11 school year, administrators and their underlings changed 2,709 student grades from failing to passing. Auditors estimate that 83.5 percent had no documentation for why they had been changed.Erasing absences
School employees erased 511,889 absences in the 2010-11 school year. Of those, 132,168 disappeared at the end of the school year, just before the district reported attendance rates to the state for inclusion in its report cards. In a sample of 10,440 erased absences, the district was able to provide justification for four.Withdrawing students
Auditors examined a sample of 106 students who were withdrawn retroactively from school and then quickly marked as readmitted on the same day late in the school year. Administrators told investigators that they were instructed to do this to �break� the students� enrollment so that their low test scores and large number of absences wouldn�t count against the district. For the 106 students in the sample, the district had documentation for the withdrawal date for two. There was no documentation for any of the readmit dates.

Rated 4 out of 5 by momo from Effortlessly sexy Very versatile dress, can be worn as is with flats/heels or layered and with boots for the colder seasons. The material is heavy, stretchy but holds the body in well so you can afford to go up or down a size depending on how fitted you like dresses. I got an xxs and It's a bit shorter than what I wanted but still appropriate with pantyhose/tights for my taste. This dress makes me feel effortlessly sexy without screaming it.The reason I only gave four star is because I wished the zipper was on the back of the dress rather than the side because it bunches inward a bit and makes my waist a bit uneven. The next larger size did not help that issue, made it worse. I'm thinking about removing it completely.

Current and former executives from LG, Chunghwa, and Sharp have all agreed to plead guilty to various charges of fixing the prices of TFT-LCD screens. The executives will face six to nine months in jail, pay $20,000-$50,000 fines, and have also agreed to help the United States government in other LCD price fixing investigations. The companies themselves are ending up having to pay criminal fines to the government of $585 million, collectively. It was mentioned that Sharp was fixing the prices of LCDs sold to Apple, Dell, and Motorola. Hopefully this means that the prices of technology utilizing LCD screens is going to drop from this point onwards, but in times like these, you never do know.

Saudi detains dozens for "plotting to celebrate Christmas"
Al-Akhbar Management
Published Thursday, December 27, 2012
Saudi religious police stormed a house in the Saudi Arabian province of al-Jouf, detaining more than 41 guests for "plotting to celebrate Christmas," a statement from the police branch released Wednesday night said.
The raid is the latest in a string of religious crackdowns against residents perceived to threaten the country's strict religious code.
The host of the alleged Christmas gathering is reported to be an Asian diplomat whose guests included 41 Christians, as well as two Saudi Arabian and Egyptian Muslims. The host and the two Muslims were said to be "severely intoxicated."
The guests were said to have been referred to the "respective authorities." It is unclear whether or not they have been released since.
The kingdom, which only recognizes Islamic faith and practice, has in the past banned public Christmas celebrations, but is ambiguous about festivities staged in private quarters.
Saudi religious police are known to detain residents of the kingdom at whim, citing loose interpretations of Sharia and public statements by hardline religious leaders to justify crackdowns.
Saudi Arabia's head mufti Sheikh Abdel Aziz bin Abdullah had previously condemned "invitations to Christmas or wedding celebrations."
A member of the Higher Council of Islamic scholars in Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Mohammed al-Othaimin recently prohibited sending holiday wishes to "heretics" on Christmas or other religious Christian holidays.
'Apostate' at risk of execution
On Thursday, the Beirut-based Gulf Center for Human Rights reported that Saudi human rights defender Raef Badawi is at risk of execution on apostasy charges.
Badawi is co-founder and editor of the Liberal Saudi Network. When he first appeared before the district court in Jeddah, he was charged with "insulting Islam through electronic channels" and "going beyond the realm of obedience." The Judge then referred the case to the higher Public Court on an apostasy charge, which carries the penalty of death.
The General Court in Jeddah proceeded with apostasy charges on December 22.
Badawi was arrested this June after the Liberal Saudi Network called for "a day of liberalism" in Saudi Arabia, which included a conference that was later canceled after a warning from authorities.
Earlier this week, controversial Saudi novelist and political analyst Turki al-Hamad was arrested for criticizing Islam and the royal family in a series of tweets.
Al-Hamad is an outspoken liberal who writes about sexuality issues, underground political movements and religious freedom. The offending tweets suggested that Islam be rectified in the same way that the Prophet Muhammad is said to have revised earlier Abrahamic religions.

This is ridiculous. Why are these people acting like morons all the time? Why don't they respect other religions and their beliefs? They aren't interfering into your business, then why people are? Being a Muslim, i really feel ashamed of this. Too bad!!
just as well we don't round up people here for celebrating Ramadan - uber religious assholes don't get into heaven any faster
And the west so happily supports the Saudi while destroyed the liberal iraq and the once liberal iran and Afghanistan.
As I stated before, the world will be very sorry about the 'Arab spring'. Saudi Arabia will never be democratic as long as they insist on religion ruling.
As one of you said, "this is from 58 AD, right?" Well yes it certainly feels like these rules are from way back in history.
I wonder if the execution of these poor 41 Christians (who did nothing else, but practice their faith) will be stoning to death.
Yes exclusion fron the UN would be a great start of world condemnation for Saudi Arabia.
Only poor people get executed in Saudi Arabia. I never heard they executed any American or British or Canadian or ausies.
IN about 1980 a German convicted of trying to rob a bank had one hand and one foot amputated.
As harsh as this penalty is, I do not completely disagree with the punishment - at least there's one less criminal around to endanger law-abiding citizen.
The laxness of moral standards in Western nations is scandalous. Do-gooders and human rights defenders regularly pity the offender while blaming the victim. What kind of Justice is THAT?
I was living in SA when they beheaded a Korean for murder, circa 1977.
Ignorant, greedy politicians and corporations created this monster..and now the world will suffer the consequences..Until we wake up.
They are exporting their radical Wahabbi religion across the globe..and creating more radicals right under our noses..
I know that Christianity will ultimately win..but we will have to pay dearly for our faith..
What needs to "win" is equal human rights, most commonly demonstrated by countries that use (regardless of individual beliefs) secular processes in law. The fact that you see Christianity as "win" clearly demonstrates that you fail to see the irony and hypocrisy you convey.
Your last line is just the mirror image of what the Saudi authorities believe in. Why shd any religion "win"?
Saudis are exporting terrorism ,intolerance hatred to the world & they are not fit in the modern era.
So This is a story from the year 58ad right????
Er no. Islam dates from about 610AD.
I suppose the Saudi will be sentencing all these poor Christians to death and they will soon be executed. I feel very sorry for them. We must ask the Saudi authorities to show some mercy, lets hope the very decent Moslems join in a plea for mercy.
Showing some humanity would be a good start!
Saudi Arabia is a cancer to this World. Most of the terrorists are from Saudi Arabia and most of the rich guys in Saudi Arabia finance terrorism. Saudis openly call to kill Shitis. The only solution to this is to ban Saudi Arabia from U.N and impose sanction.
Unfortunately that may happen only when they run out of oil. Till then the west will appease them and the remainder of the non-Muslim world will tolerate them.
And that kind of sums it up. The difference between Hezbollah's Islam and the perfunctory nature of Salafism is glaring.
I find it ironically painful that some of Hezbollah's most vocal critics pose as uber Christians who ironically happen to be allies with the House of Saud.
Excellent comment - well said

Design: Floral Lace Chair
Materials: Acrylic and Crochet Lace
Pitch: "The Floral Lace Chair is a combination of function and fashion, featuring a sleek acrylic frame encasing delicate crochet lace within the back and sides. The seat is upholstered in silk. The inspiration for this piece came out of the desire to make a chair that was as beautiful as a dress and as irresistible to women as a pair of shoes!"
"This chair is part of the JEM collection, which features other delicate fabric variations, including white, ivory, or black lace, and black, silver, or gold sequins. I have had my business in floral and event design for almost 20 years, and in the last five, have developed a passion for designing home furnishings and accessories. I love what I do and am consistently creating new pieces that are simple and sophisticated, with an unexpected element of surprise. While my collections are small to date, I have designs and prototypes ready to go for all areas of the home, including tabletop, bedding, and bath."

Noctua NH-C14 Review
The stock CPU heat sink is often maligned for being inadequate for the task of removing the heat from our processors while they are running well outside the boundaries AMD and Intel set for the designs. What's a person to do but try and find the best cooling solution for their needs! That can include everything from a simple improvement over the stock design all the way up to phase change and liquid nitrogen, albeit the latter is more for the the true hardcore benchmarking enthusiast. The selection process often has as much to do with looks, reputation, on line buzz, price and personal experience as it does with actual performance and noise characteristics. One man's trash is another man's treasure they say. What I have to look at today is another offering from Noctua with their NH-C14 C style CPU cooler. I have looked at more than a few of Noctua's offerings including the NH-U12P SE 1366 , NH-D14 and the heat sink that compares most closely to the NH-C14, the NH-C12P SE 14. As a successor to the NH-C12P design, the NH-C14 is bigger and equipped with a pair of Noctua's NF-P14 FLX fans that offer high airflow, static pressure and a low noise signature. All hallmarks of the company's design philosophies. Each of the aforementioned cooling solutions from Noctua have been well engineered as a system that works with extreme loads all while delivering great thermal performance with little of the noise normally associated with high-end air cooling solutions. The NH-C12P was a highly touted C style heat sink that delivered exceptional performance. The question is will the NH-C14 deliver even better performance? By the end of this review I will have the answer.
Closer Look:
Noctua's packaging is ideal for use in a brick and mortar retail store. Just about everything you would want to know about the heat sink can be found by looking through the illustrations and information on the four sides and top. The front panel shows a picture of the cooler as well as a listing of the type of cooler this is, how it can be used, as well as the mounting solution. The left side provides more detail on this information while the right side has technical drawings of the NH-C14 giving all of the critical dimensions as well as listing the contents of the package.
When you open the package you can see that Noctua takes as much care in designing the packaging to transport the NH-C14 as it does in designing the cooling solution. The accessories are held in a separate box while the cooler is inside a pair of boxes that are strategically braced to keep transit damage to a minimum. The box that houses the accessories is slim but contains all that is needed to install the NH-C14 including the SecuFirm2 mounting hardware for both AMD and Intel, s screwdriver for installation, Noctua thermal paste, a bag of common parts and detailed installation instructions.
The SeciFirm 2 mounting hardware supports all of today's popular sockets from AMD including AM2, AM2+, AM3 (backplate required) and Intel including LGA1366, LGA1156, LGA1155, LGA775. The AMD solutions use the existing back plate from the motherboard while the Intel solution uses a universal back plate that is insulated to prevent shorting out against motherboard components.
The Common Parts kit for the NH-C14 includes a "Y" harness to attach both of the NF-P14 fans to a single header, a pair of "Low Noise Adapters", A pair of "Ultra Low Noise Adapters" one for each of the fans, a tube of NT-H1 thermal paste, a metal case badge, four mounting brackets, four rubber studs to mount one of the NF-P14 fans to the chassis, screwdriver and the detailed instruction manual for both AMD and Intel installations. As has been seen in the past, Noctua includes everything that could be needed to get their product installed on your CPU/motherboard combination.
I must say Noctua does not fail to impress with the package they put together. Let's see how the NH-C14 looks and then put it to the test.

Where's My Time Stick Lyrics
We were right on course. The captain shouted "Full steam ahead!" And that was the last thing he said. Then we heard a blast. The cook spoke softly "Oh God, we're all dead." And that was the last thing he said. This ship is sinking fast and I'm just waiting on deck to go down with it. I tried to grab the wheel. Feeling weak, I pleaded to the sky. It's too hard, too much, so why try? The water's rising high. I hold my breath and going under close my eyes. Why try, why try, why try? All I can see is the mast going down with me. I'm gonna drown in this

Instructor(s) Mitch,
Community Lawyering is a service learning course intended to cultivate essential lawyering skills while working on projects that address community issues.
For Fall 2013, students will work in small groups and in collaboration with community partners on developing proposals that would address the partners' needs and help accomplish their goals. This will require working with organizations to define their goals and identify the roles lawyers would play in achieving or advancing those goals.
In classroom sessions we will examine the roles of various community lawyers and how their work furthers a wide variety of community goals. Throughout the semester, feedback will result in proposals evolving and being refined. At the conclusion of the semester, the proposals will be presented, with an ideal goal that one (or more) will be chosen to become a real project of the Law School and/or the legal community.
Students should come ready to build on and integrate their prior work, volunteer, clinic, internship, or academic research experiences. For consent to enroll, students should submit a brief email (no more than 400 words, or roughly two paragraphs) detailing their interest and highlighting their relevant prior experiences. Relevant experience could include any significant work, volunteer, clinic, internship, or academic research experiences. Send interest statements (or address questions) to email@example.com

What do you see? Practices in Beholding Mindfulness A presentation by Adriana Kowal, Lecturer - Philosophy Department, Tuesday, 11/5, 2013: 4:30 – 6 pm
Haggerty Museum of Art
What do you see? We tend to pass over things quickly, ignoring the layers and depths of what the world has to offer to us. We look at the objective formations (shapes, colors, objects, subject matter, etc.) and often move on without ever pausing to let the deeper layers reveal themselves to us. Mindful beholding, developed by Joanna Ziegler, professor of Visual Arts and Art History at Holy Cross, is the practice of allowing the world to appear to us and to allow ourselves to experience embodied connectedness. Allowing ourselves to have the freedom and space to explore our own thoughts, feelings, experiences without judgment is the act of mindful beholding. Philosophy Lecturer Adriana Kowal will invite participants to look at one abstract painting, just one, and to sit in front of it and respond to the question: What do you see? By focusing attention again and again, participants will notice changes in the painting. As they notice these changes in the painting, they will learn to recognize changes in themselves.
Ancient Participatory Music Experience with Kaita Bliffert
Wednesday, 11/13/2013: 4:30 – 6 pm
Calvary Presbyterian Church
Kirtan is an ancient participatory music experience that quiets the mind, relaxes the body, opens the heart, and can carry us effortlessly to a place of quiet, to stillness. It is one of the oldest sacred music traditions of the world. The Kirtan call-and-response chanting genre comes to us from India. Using ancient Sanskrit mantras, the Kirtan calls upon contemplation to remove obstacles and bring us back to the center of our being. Local musician Kaita Bliffert recently released her debut album "Let Go" and will lead the participatory music experience along with two other Kirtan artists. No experience necessary.

While it may seem that feeling lost, overwhelmed, and worried are modern-day problems, worry has been around for a long time. Mindfulness is an ages-old tool that has been refined by practitioners in the 21st century to be practical and applicable to the digital age. Paul Norton will introduce the background of the practice and give us introductory training in the valuable techniques of meditation and mindfulness-based stress reduction. Free Lecture.
12/3/2012: Centering Prayer, by Barbara Prendergast (Raynor Memorial Libraries, Beaumier A, 4- 5 pm).
Centering Prayer is the opening of mind and heart - our whole being - to God, the Ultimate Mystery, beyond thoughts, words, and emotions. Father Thomas Keating, founder of Contemplative Outreach, adapted the prayer methods of earlier times to give us Centering Prayer, a method of prayer that is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer but to add depth of meaning to all prayer, facilitating a movement into a receptive prayer of resting in God. In this talk, Barbara will introduce us to Centering Prayer and its technique.

Hey y'all!! (again)
This is my other question...
I am pumping at work every 2 or 2 1/2 hours for a total of 4 sessions. This gives me about 3oz per session, just enough for my baby, who sometimes I feel is not satisfied with that amount.
My mom is taking care of her while I am at work, and yesterday when I got back she was feeding the baby, and after she finished the 3oz bottle she started crying for a little while, although she stopped after a few minutes and acted OK then.
But to go to my question... it seems that I am producing just enough for my baby. I remember the 4, 6 and 8 week growth spurts and she feed constantly for probably 1 hour every time. I am wondering what is going to happen when we get to the 3 month growth spurt, and 6 month growth spurt, etc... since I am pumping and I will not be able to be there when she wants to eat or just to comfort nurse her.
Is there anything I need to do differently to survive the upcoming growth spurts since I am mostly pumping?
Thanks again!

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Brief Summary
The brachiopods are a very important group for paleontologists as they have a rich 600 million year old fossil history. With more than 12,000 fossil species described they were possibly the most abundant animals of the Paleozoic era, and important ancient reef builders. Several historical extinction events, most notably the Permian-Triassic extinction, dramatically reduced their numbers and diversity and today only about 335 living species exist.
There are two highly divergent extant classes of brachiopods. The Inarticulata (with about 45 species) appeared first in the fossil record at the beginning of the Cambrian; these were followed by the Articulata (290+ species). The extant genus Lingula shows minimal change from Ordovician fossils and are considered "living fossils".

Hourglass Watch Combines Time With Design
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech
We know that almost everyone has one, but your egg timer probably hasn't left the junk drawer in a decade. Designer Pavel Balykin has created the Sand+Time Watch to modernize the concept. The digital hourglass is used as a screen saver. If you want real numbers and an accurate time, you simply click a button. We are thinking that maybe we could get a company like Tokyoflash to turn Pavel's prototype into a reality.

Testing Damp Levels
When there is damp in excess, surfaces, walls, and assertive accouterment will accept a array of problems. Damp can could cause leaks and bane on surfaces. You will consistently acquisition damp in our surroundings. In adjustment to anticipate the decline of things because of damp it is best to barometer the akin of damp about them. A damp analysis beat is advised accurately for this purpose.
When the damp analysis beat was aboriginal invented it was accurately fabricated for testing damp in balk and it was mostly a copse damp meter. But through the years, the technology acquired and has begin appliance in altered fields. The blueprint are altered for these gauges and they are acclimated to admeasurement damp on altered materials. The accompaniment of architecture abstracts can aswell be bent by this device. If you are a DIYer you would acquisition this damp beat actual accessible in abounding ways. If you are attention accurate and wood, you charge to be able to barometer damp levels.
You can aswell use the damp analysis beat in gardening, and audition problems I walls, roofs, and floors, abreast from its copse and accurate application. Your absolute abode damp can aswell be activated by some types of damp testers. There are two basal forms of damp meters, and these are the pin and the pinless meters. It is the pin beat than is a lot of frequently acclimated to analysis moisture, The pin beat uses two or added pins. The electrical attrition is abstinent if the pin is amid in materials.
Measure the electrical attrition is a way of alive the bulk of damp in the actual because they are equal. Pin meters are able and acquisition their appliance for a array of materials. How pinless meters works follows the assumption of electrical impedance. Without harming the materials, it is able to ascertain moisture. Pinless meters are ideal for testing accurate and wood.
Moisture analysis meters are acclimated in agronomics to analysis or admeasurement damp afterwards a harvest.

Election could bring changes to Florida's Supreme Court
Election could bring changes to Florida's Supreme Court
WINTER PARK, Fla. —
If Amendment five is passed, it will essentially do three things: Require Senate approval for Supreme Court justices, it would allow for the repeal of "court rules" by a simple majority vote in the Legislature and it would give new freedoms to the House to review files of the Judicial Qualifications Commission.

Quentin Tarantino is a famous Hollywood director who's well known for his unique film-making style. Movies like the Kill Bill Volumes 1 & 2 (2003, 2004) depict the technique characteristics typical of his movies, including nonlinear story lines, satirical subject matter and the aestheticization of violence.
Quentin's directorial debut came with the ultra-violent crime caper Reservoir Dogs (1992), and the film quickly made him one of the most talked-about figures in Hollywood. Two years later Tarantino received widespread critical and commercial acclaim with the release of his cult classic crime thriller Pulp Fiction (1994). Another crime thriller, the flick raked in more than $108 million at the box office, making it the first independent film to do so.
Quentin Tarantino earned two Academy Award nominations (Best Directing & Best Original Screenplay) for the film Inglourious Basterds (2009), which he wrote and directed.

Colorado voters passed Amendment 64 last November, legalizing the purchase and recreational use of marijuana across the state.
It will take effect on Jan. 1, 2014. That's less than 16 weeks from right now.
The question is: Are we ready for that?
Before we answer that, though, let's consider the enormity of what's coming.
Shortly after we ring in the New Year, residents, visitors, tourists - anyone 21 years of age with a valid driver's license - will be able to walk into any one of hundreds of businesses across the state and purchase up to an ounce of a drug over the counter that is still illegal under the federal Controlled Substances Act. Visitors to the state will be limited to a quarter of an ounce.
The buyer can then walk out the store and have no fear of being arrested or hassled by local police because purchasing marijuana is now a legal transaction in Colorado. And, federal authorities say they will back off, too, and leave enforcement up to the state as it is necessary.
Does that mean that we're going to see dozens of marijuana-related businesses or marijuana clubs cropping up along Elkhorn Avenue or St. Vrain Avenue, or possibly Wonderview Avenue? Are we going to see residents or visitors lighting up in town parks or on street corners?
No to the first. Not so much to the second.
The Town of Estes Park's board of trustees eliminated some of those possibilities - at least, for now - when they followed the lead of residents and approved two anti-marijuana ordinances on Aug. 13.
The first ordinance prohibits the operation of marijuana-selling establishments, including marijuana clubs. That simply won't happen here unless they take the town to court and win.
The other ordinance deals with possession of marijuana. It states: (1) it is unlawful for any person under the age of 21 to possess two ounces or less of marijuana; (2) it is unlawful for any person 21 years of age or older to possess more than one ounce but less than two ounces of marijuana; (3) it is unlawful for any person 21 years of age or older to openly and publicly display, consume, or use marijuana.
The unusual wording of the middle part of that ordinance reflects the complexity of the issue. It simply means that legal age residents can possess up to one ounce of marijuana and face no consequence. However, between 1-2 ounces is a petty offense, a misdemeanor. More than 2 ounces, however, is felony.
So while we won't have any marijuana-related businesses in town, it would be naïve to believe we won't have visitors and/or residents purchasing it elsewhere and bringing it here for their personal use, whether in a home or just outside of town limits.
But, wait, there's more.
Under Amendment 64, Coloradans can grow up to six plants in their home - with only three flowering plants at a given time - for their own personal use.
So, now back to the question: Are we ready for this?
Estes Park Police Chief Wes Kufeld says he doesn't think it will be a big deal. He's pleased that the town board took the initiative to first ban medical marijuana dispensaries and then pass the subsequent enforcement ordinances.
"This gives us solid footing on which to operate," Kufeld said. "I feel real good about it now."
The chief said he does expect some minor issues to crop up but says public use of marijuana is really no different than having an open container of alcohol. He says his officers will have a lot of latitude and disgression when it comes to enforcement.
Continuing to deal with the question: Are we ready . . . restaurant and business managers around town will soon find themselves on the front lines, too. They will have to remind customers that smoking marijuana in public is illegal in Estes Park.
Kufeld sees it as a community effort to educate visitors.
So, as a community, are we ready?
The police certainly are. But, the rest of the community? Well, that's hard to assess right now. That's because no one can really be certain just how persistent visitors will be and just how tolerant our residents will be during the early "test drive" days of this new state law.
We'll know better by this time next fall . . . when the smoke clears.

Quick: How many Canadians live in Canada?
Come on.
Give me your best guess… We're a big country… 20 million? 25 million? 30 million? If you said 33 million people according to the last census, you would be correct!
If you guessed "almost 9 million people", well not only would you be WAY off base, but you would also be Scarborough NDP MP Rathika Sitsabaiesan. At a conference on "Human Rights Abuses in Sri Lanka" last Wednesday, Rathika, while speaking about her struggles as a young Tamil child in Sri Lanka, uttered the following comment about the number of Tamils in Canada, and the number of Canadians in Canada;
"Tamils united, in Canada we're about 300,000 strong, But Canadians united in Canada we're a huge force to be reckoned with. We're almost 9 million if I remember the number correctly. That's 9 million Canadians strong. Standing together to fight for human rights."
She was then interrupted by an audience member who pointed out the number was actually 33 million at which point she tried to hide her error by making the following comment;
"You know what I was thinking of. I was thinking of the people that came out and voted in the past election."
… Oh boy…
14.8 million people voted in the last election.
Granted after watching the YouTube video I could tell she was guessing at the numbers of Canadians when she paused trying to collect her thoughts and then referred to the vast number of Canadians before throwing out a number hoping to be close. She wasn't close.
More than 9 million Canadians live in Toronto and Montreal.
So while I appreciate that not every Canadian knows the number of Canadians – my guess was just under 30 million, this shows what happens when voter sentiment determines a change needs to be made and does so by electing a party to opposition status (thank goodness not to be the ruling government) who are not prepared to be in that position. Dare I add that if this was a conservative, the left-wing media would be all over them and asking for them to apologize to Canadians.
But some good has come from this fiasco. We all know there are 33 million Canadians living in Canada and it's projected to be 34.7 million by the next census. As well, some news outlets pointed out that because she's such a pretty young lady, this non-issue will help her grow in her political career. Hey! Nothing surprises me in Canadian politics anymore.
So since the Liberals were obliterated from power in that election that had only "9 million" voters, maybe they can start working on a training package for all rookie MP's to help them with some of life's greatest mysteries. Population of Canada is today's issue, the next issue might be the number of provinces in the country, or possibly Canada's location in North America… or worse, the number of Canadian hockey teams. (There are 7 now that Winnipeg is back in the league).
Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg.
Here is a link to an article by Yahoo Canada with the YouTube video so you can see it for yourself.

Seabrook licensing panel rejects 2 objections, citing deadlineBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
November 14. 2012 9:38PM
SEABROOK - A three-judge Atomic Safety and Licensing Board panel handling the license renewal application for the Seabrook nuclear power plant has rejected a late-filed contention regarding concrete degradation at the facility.
The contention was submitted by the Friends of the Coast and New England Coalition in August.
The panel ruled that Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff members have been raising and reviewing alkali-silica reaction, or ASR, issues since 2010 and that the groups had the necessary information to have filed a contention during the appropriate 30-day window of July 21 to Oct. 20, 2010.
Alkali-silica reaction is a chemical reaction in concrete that occurs over time in the presence of water and humidity and can cause micro-cracks that change the physical and structural properties of the concrete.
It was first discovered at the Seabrook plant in May 2010 and is the first time ASR has been identified at a power plant. It has been identified previously in transportation structures.
NextEra is seeking renewal of its operating license from the NRC, but issues related to ASR and its detection, prevention and response are contributing to a delay in the process.
During a July meeting, NRC staff members said that Next-?Era Energy, the owner and operator of Seabrook, has not yet demonstrated that it can adequately manage aging of the Seabrook concrete structures due to ASR for the period of extended operations.
Seabrook's current license expires in 2030, and NextEra is seeking a 20-year extension.
"Insofar as the contention as drafted represents a broad attack on the applicant's handling of the ASR issues in general, it bears emphasis that 'the staff has been raising and reviewing ASR issues at the Seabrook plant since 2010,'" the order reads.
It continues: "Intervenors cannot defend their failure to challenge the applicant's May 16, 2012, supplement any earlier on the ground that they did not know about ASR issues at Seabrook. ASR problems at Seabrook had been in the public record for some time by that point," the order reads.
Near the end of the order, the panel writes that the board does not decide whether some or all of the contention might otherwise be admissible because it is clearly untimely.
Should the intervenors have occasion to proffer any additional contentions, the board reminded them that the commission has cautioned the parties in the case that the hearing process is reserved for "genuine, material controversies between 'knowledgeable parties.'" "Although we do not adjudicate the merits at the contention admissibility stage, the commission has expressed its dissatisfaction in this case with contentions it found to be 'thinly supported' or 'poorly supported.'"

12 Month Phase II Study With PBT2 in Early Alzheimer's Patients
12 Month Phase II Study With PBT2 in Early Alzheimer's Patients
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - Nov 27, 2012) - Prana Biotechnology (NASDAQ: PRAN) (ASX: PBT) today announced that it has completed recruitment in the IMAGINE trial, a 12 month Phase II trial testing PBT2, the Company's drug in development for Alzheimer's Disease.
The double-blind placebo controlled trial has enrolled 41 patients with prodromal or mild Alzheimer's Disease in Melbourne, Australia. One additional patient may be included in the trial, subject to final screening procedures this week. All trial participants are undergoing brain scans to measure PBT2's effect on amyloid deposits in the brain (using PiB-PET scanning) and effects on increasing brain activity (F-FDG PET). Cognition effects are being measured by the Neuropsychological Test Battery (NTB), a test that measures the type of cognitive problems experienced by prodromal and early Alzheimer's patients.
In an earlier 12 week Alzheimer's Disease trial, PBT2 significantly reduced the level of Abeta protein in the spinal fluid of treated patients as well as significantly improving their cognitive Executive Function1,2,3.
"We expect that the current 12 month IMAGINE trial will provide further evidence of PBT2's ability to have a positive effect in the brain and help Alzheimer's patients," said Prana's Executive Chairman, Mr. Geoffrey Kempler.
The scientific data supporting the belief that PBT2 will bring meaningful clinical benefit to patients is extensive. PBT2 restores neuronal health by selectively binding and redistributing brain metals (copper, zinc) that have become imbalanced due to disease or the ageing process. Furthermore PBT2 is able to prevent Abeta protein induced toxicity and promote its disaggregation in the brain.
The trial has received funding from the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF). Howard Fillit, MD, the ADDF's Executive Director, commented that "PBT2 stands out as one of the few remaining orally available agents with clinical trial evidence of cognitive benefit for Alzheimer's patients. Success in this trial will demonstrate target engagement by PBT2 in the brains of people with Alzheimer's Disease, and accelerate the clinical development of PBT2 to patients."
Alzheimer's Disease and dementia affects over 26 million people worldwide. The cost to society has been reported as $600 billion per annum. Currently all available treatments are approved to provide some degree of symptomatic relief. None change the course of the disease and the eventual decline in patient's cognition and health. PBT2 has the potential to be an effective treatment for Alzheimer's Disease that is supported by an extensive body of scientific and clinical work.

Tiny House or Shed?
This last weekend my daughter was at a friend's Birthday party. The party was at a Horse Ranch called Wells Family Ranch. While there, I came across a Tiny Shed/House and thought you might like to see the pictures. I'm not sure what it is used for, but I did peek through the window and saw a bed of some sort.
