is characterised by extreme shifts in mood, energy and
functioning. Bipolar disorder, also known as manic
depression, is a mood disorder, characterised by extreme shifts
in mood, energy and functioning. More recently this term is also
used to include the more subtle variants of the disorder, called
the soft bipolar spectrum disorders. Bipolar disorder Type I is
much less common than Major Depressive disorder, with 1% of the
general population affected over time. Males and females are
affected equally. The incidence of the soft bipolar spectrum
disorders have not been established yet but it might be as high
as 6% of the general population. It is also still unclear what
the sex ratio of this disorder is. As a group, the bipolar
disorders entail episodes of depression as well as episodes of
mania/euphoria or hypomania. The switches between these two
states may be fairly sudden and dramatic, but are more commonly
gradual in onset. Both mood state |

time I just noticed something confusing. I ran my old terrain
renderer after recompiling it with VC++ Express and was somewhat

Fraps to confirm and was about to take a 5min giggling break,
when I ran it again. This time directly starting the binary and
it was back at somewhat more believable 200fps. So whenever I
run the release build from within VC++, something is not just
screwing with the internal timing, but also throwing off Fraps
as well. App is using OpenGL, rdtsc for timing and somehow
Denmark is smelling funny today. What could it possibly be doing
to cause that kind of weird behaviour? Especially since it makes

things were difficult; his now ex wife would make life difficult

Comments 0 The phrase “Build vs. Buy” has become so widely used
that it has become a part of our industry’s lexicon. In general,
it refers to the decision whether to build a new application, or
buy one “off the shelf.” However there is an implied “either/or”
approach to the decision which can be very self-limiting. First
of all, consider this idea of building or buying. In a pure
“build” approach, we would have to start by writing an operating
system and then work our way up. Or perhaps we should design our
own CPU chips? Of course this is silly! How about a pure “buy”
approach? Well if an application is very general in nature –

body, to write a book or a long article about the remarkable
fact that 19 United States Presidents stemmed from ancestors who
had emigrated to this country from Ireland. When I checked
biographies I found that he spoke the truth. Nineteen of our
nation's leaders did come from Ireland, but I had to point out
to him that only one, John F. Kennedy, stemmed from Ireland
proper. The other 18 all came from Northern Ireland, and none
were Irish Catholic. All of them had Scots ancestry, their
forebears having been transplanted into Ireland at the time of
Queen Elizabeth I or later, and most of them were Scots
Presbyterian. They were of Ireland, but they were not Irishmen.

an uncomfortable echo of a similar disturbance in 1994 when the

To Catch a Thief, provided the inspiration for Star Wars: The

What’s funny, though, is that whereas the Hitchcock film is all
frothy, sun-dappled escapism about an ex-jewel thief (Cary

is a simple combination: spaghetti tossed with sauteed guanciale

instead), fresh eggs, Parmesan and Romano cheeses and lots of
black pepper. But arriving home on a Monday night after having

pork sausage in the fridge and a few eggs from the farmers

People sometimes stir peas into the dish; why not pea shoots?

the armor, on their vehicles and their bodies, to protect them.
Or like the ability of their command structure to ignore the
eerie similarity in their "individual abuses" at Abu Ghraib to
the legally sanctioned behavior by interrogators at Guantanamo,
and to punish only those at or below the rank of sergeant for
those activities. Major General Jeffrey Miller, who was sent
from Cuba to Iraq to "Gitmoize" Abu Ghraib, is doing just fine

most durable materials we wear. It's made to take a beating and
that kind of durability will often cost you. But when chosen
carefully and maintained properly, leather can be an investment
that will pay off for a lifetime. That being said, nothing
damages leather quite like water—it saps the suppleness from the
skin and dries out the natural fibers, resulting in staining,
stretching and cracking if not treated. Thankfully, a few simple
steps will prevent moisture from permeating and eventually
ruining your leather. But we should start by getting one thing
straight: Waterproofing is something of a misnomer. You see, no
matter what you put on your leather, it will never be fully
waterproof. Water resistant is more like it. Protected, but not

Naval Air Commodore Khalid Farooq Chishti said. "We had pulled

I just read an article on The Blaze about Carroll Hilton Sheldon
and Gloria Allred's "October Surprise" (I refuse to link to The
Blaze). Apparently, 30 odd years ago, Mitt Romney (then a newly
anointed Bishop on the Mormon church) pressured Mrs. Sheldon to
not terminate a difficult pregnancy. This is not what I care to
discuss, because Mrs. Sheldon is a Mormon, I can only assume by
choice, and she should not be surprised, or offended, when a
spiritual leader of her church pressures her to remain faithful
to its doctrine. What I found particularly interesting about
the article was this sentence: "So there it is – something

acceleration. And that's where my problem is, I simply can't

Leasing a new car costs far more than buying it. A hard look at
the numbers reveals that leasing can be as good a deal as
buying. Just as the lower monthly payments don't automatically
make a lease vastly cheaper, neither does the fact that you own
nothing at the end of a lease mean you're throwing your money
away. To compare buying and leasing fairly, don't forget to
take into account the economic power of money you don't put into
a down payment or sky-high monthly payments on a purchase deal.
For example, consider a recent deal on a $35,320 car: a 48-month
lease for $359 a month and $2,646 down. At the end of the lease
you could buy the car for $13,775. That brings your total out-

power companies such as Dominion Resources (NYSE: D ) or
Consolidated Edison (NYSE: ED ) are likely to see some negative
impact on earnings related to Sandy. But unlike during Hurricane
Irene, when Dominion had more than 1 million customers without
power, this storm has left the company slightly better off.
Dominion estimates only 100,000 customers lost electricity
during Sandy. But New Jersey-based |

everyone should be ready for the action to happen at
anytime...." -- Saddam Hussein, January 1991 There's belief
among many folk out there that Iraq didn't have a biological
weapons (BW) program. They accept the idea that most, if not
all, the shipments Iraq received of full strength unattenuated
pathogens from other countries such as the United States were
utilized for benign purposes. There are others that contend
that Iraq did possess something of a BW program, but that the
project hadn't progressed to the stage of strategic and/or
tactical usefulness; however, the statement above which Saddam
Hussein made during a meeting with the Iraqi leadership prior to
the war leaves little doubt about Iraq's BW capabilities, and
his willingness to use such against the US, Israel, and Saudi
Arabia. One unanswered question that begs to be explored is "did
he?" Among others there's the belief that Ir |

Site/Blog Private currency is money issued by a private
entity, such as a company, rather than by a public entity, such
as the government. Like any other currency, private currency
must have some backing or it has no value. One problem with this
currency is that it has to be adopted by other people, or only
the issuer will use it. This currency depends on an issuer that
may not be around forever, so it can go out of use if the issuer
is no longer around. Many countries and regions ban the creation
and use of private currency, while others just have legal
restrictions. To make private currency valuable, it must be
backed by a source. The majority of currencies are backed by
precious metals, usually gold, and this also is common among
private money. At the same time, the currency |

-1.652321 | 3.517884 | -1 | A science blog with Eric Berger Debunking the myth that natural
seeps are just as bad as the Deepwater spill Oil in the Gulf
of Mexico is nothing new. There’s always oil in the Gulf,
primarily due to the action of natural seeps. These occur when
there are geological fissures that allow oil to seep into the
water, and such seeps can be near the shore or in deep water.
The best estimates, says Larry McKinney, executive director of
the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies, are
that natural seeps release about 560,000 to 1.4 million barrels
a year across the Gulf. That breaks down to about 1,500 to
3,800 barrels a day, which is roughly one-fifth of the 12,000
and 19,000 barrels per day being released by the Deepwater
Horizon oil spill. The magnitude of the Deepwater spill is not
so crucial as its concentration. Were it diffused like the
natural seeps over the entire Gulf, there is a natural mechanism
for coping with oil. “The natural seeps are spread over a huge
area,” McKinney said. “Becaus |
