What exactly is the HCG diet? The HCG diet is nothing new. It
was created by a British endocrinologist in the 1950s, but has
resurfaced several times since then, including in the past few
years. The original diet involved extreme calorie restriction
(500 calories per day) and daily injections of HCG (Human
Chorionic Gonadotropin), a hormone that’s naturally produced by
pregnant women. Proponents claim that the HCG hormone suppresses
appetite and fights weakness and fatigue, enabling you to stick
with the 500-calorie regime. They also claim that it favors
weight loss from body fat, instead of muscle. The injections
are tough to come by because they need to be prescribed by a

I vaguely sensed that Lithuania was not a Russian land, but a
“Russian” province. The Czarist eagle–the regime of the Russian
empire –only strode over her. What I read in Hebrew and in
Yiddish told me about Jewish life and our past, but what I read
in Russian took my fantasies to Russia's more remote areas,
where a Jewish foot was not permitted to go. Our hearts were
captured by the majestic descriptions and heart tugging singing
about the Russian earth in the wonderful Russian literature–to
the northeast as far as Siberia and down to the southeast, over
the Volga to the Causasus. But, Lithuania? Barely a
reverberation about Lithuania was heard from that which we read
in Russian. Perhaps I reflected about this for the first time

familiar with the terminal. It's not going away, and no matter
how much point-and-click Linux window managers get, the terminal
will still be used with tools that you just can't replace or

0.862247 | 9.531333 | 16 | Perl script uses Ptrace for process tracing Process Spy ©
Scott Maxwell, Fotolia Recently, I needed to investigate the
write activity of a Linux process and was surprised to discover
that CPAN had a Ptrace module. Ptrace is a technology that roots
in the Linux kernel, adding the ability to step through
processes and retrieve information on the data they use.
Debuggers such as GDB leverage this technology and build a user
interface on it. To find out which files a process opens for
writing over the course of its lifetime, you can pass the
PTRACE_SYSCALL parameter to ptrace to make the process stop
whenever it issues a system call. Filtering out calls coming
from libc's open() function in write mode then reveals the
desired list of files. Invoking objdump -d /lib/libc.so.6 tells
you what libc does to open the specified file and return a file

-2.252369 | 1.998622 | 26 | There are those among us who don't particularly care for dogs,
and there are those among us who have no use at all for the
irresponsible sort of dog owner. Could those folks possibly
benefit from Bethel's having a dog park? I believe so, and
here's why. Twenty-odd years ago, skiers regarded snowboarders
as young, brash beginners. They were happy to see ski areas
either ban snowboarders or limit them to a few slopes, and they
resented the halfpipes that some ski areas built to attract
snowboarders. Those skiers that were paying attention, though,
came to appreciate those halfpipes, because the snowboarders
spent much of their time there, which kept them off the regular
trails. The snowboarders didn't use the lifts as much, either,
because they were content to walk back to the top of the
halfpipe. There was no need for Ski Patrol to monitor the
halfpipes, for the snowboarders themselves enforced halfpipe
etiquette through peer pressure. More recently, there used to
be complaints in Bethel about skateboarders |

Kickboxing has historically produced mediocre results when one
of its elite athletes has crossed over to mixed martial arts.
Mirko "CroCop" Filipovic is probably the best example of a K-1
level striker having success, but we tend to see kickboxers lack
the takedown defense and the grappling know-how to compete at a
high level in mixed martial arts. As time has progressed, that
knowledge gap continues to get slimmer and slimmer, and in the
modern era -- it isn't unheard of to see world class kickboxers
also training in the arts of grappling as well. In fact, our #1
ranked lightweight prospect, Thiago Michel Pereira Silva aka.
Thiago Michel, fits that mold perfectly as he was the 2010 WAKO
World Cup champion at 75 kg while also sporting a 7-1 record in

The people selling rice in Port-au-Prince say business is
terrible. So we travel to l'Artibonite, Haiti's rice country, to
learn more. There are lots of problems with Haiti's rice
market. Since the earthquake, free rice from foreign aid groups
has made it harder for Haitian farmers to sell what they grow.
Even before the earthquake, they had a hard time competing with
foreign rice, which is produced using high-output, modern
farming techniques that aren't available in Haiti. As we noted
last week, some rice farmers find themselves forced to choose
between keeping enough rice for their children to eat, and
selling enough rice to pay for their children to go to school.
Some — including Mirana Honorable, shown below — are choosing to

Digital Equipment Multia was DEC's attempt to build a network-
friendly workstation that was more of a "network computer" as
originally conceived by Larry Ellison of Oracle - where the
computer was a CPU and memory and display, with little else, and
storage was mostly on the server side. The idea was to make them
cheap, yet powerful enough to do real work on. DEC designed a
really small machine. It was meant to run a variety of OSes (NT
for Alpha, Linux, True-64 Unix and OpenVMS(sort of)), although
the Intel-based version may support more OS options. In an
effort to squeeze the most amount of computer into the smallest
possible space, DEC cut a lot of corners, and ended up using
more "laptop" technology than anything else. From the 2.5" HD
and ultra-thin floppy, 2 PCMCIA slots, and everything else built
into the motherboard, the Multia really resembled a double-thick

Lexington, SC (WLTX) -- Lexington may have small town charm, but

scientific paper that may be of interest to men who frequent
this corner of the blogosphere is Divorce and Sexual Risk Among
U.S. Women: Findings from the National Survey of Family Growth.
Published in the Journal of Women's Health, in November 2011,
the statistical findings were based on the 2002 cycle of
National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) involving 5800 women.
The authors of the study set out to fill a gap in the the
literature with regard to the sexual behaviour of divorces and
single adult women for the purposes of disease prevention. i.e
the authors did not have some religious or social policy axe to
grind. The paper is very interesting because it seems to be the
first scientific paper to acknowledge a clear correlation

WALLA WALLA - The Walla Walla County Canvassing Board, already

Just want to make the point that BURN is in fact a four letter
word. It should be avoided if possible. Else keep it as low as
you can. Because BURN = LOSS OF CONTROL. People, usually
VCs, make the argument that you need to BURN to scale up. This
is not true. It is just as easy to grow a company fast and be
profitable at the same time. Especially software companies that
can now go SaaS to avoid up front capital expenses and then
spend as they earn by hosting on services like Amazon AWS etc.
As an entrepreneur myself who has raised VC money, I would say a
company's success is more often tied to to the founders staying
on (at least for the first few years) in leadership positions to
keep the company focused and executing, than on VC investment.
So keeping control is not a bad thing promoted by egotistical

The dish: Tai Chin ($6.95) At the very least, this pho with
round steak and brisket is as accessible to the first-timer as
any Vietnamese recipe, aside from, maybe, a spring roll. The
pho curious can start with Tai Chin as an introduction to an
exotic staple at a bargain price. For the pho lover who wouldn't
dream of a bowl without tendon and tripe, An Loi offers, in all,
a dozen pho selections. Given the exceptionally neutral tones
of cooked beef and rice noodles, the broth needs to carry the
day. An Loi's Tai Chin does, with subtly and a deceptively
simple flavor. I didn't taste star anise, a familiar pho broth
ingredient. I definitely picked up a note of cardamom, very

SANParks veterinarians perform an autopsy on a slain Rhino as

SOUTH AFRICA — We’re at the operations center waiting for a ride
to camp. A gray-haired gentleman sporting a goatee and glasses
approaches us. “Are you busy? We just received word that a
fresh rhino carcass was found and we’re heading there now,” he
said. It is extremely rare, he went on to say, that a fresh
carcass is discovered. Usually the carcasses are found after
several days in the sun. And after they’ve been scavenged.
Shortly after we arrive on the scene, the circumstances of the
Rhino’s death emerge. A poacher shot and wounded the Rhino and
officials had no choice but to put it down. Its horn is still

great-grandfather Cato, whose virtue gained him such great

his life. This Cato was, by the loss of both his parents, left
an orphan, together with his brother Caepio, and his sister
Porcia. He had also a half-sister, Servilia, by the mother’s
side. All these lived together, and were bred up in the house of
Livius Drusus, their uncle by the mother who, at that time, had
a great share in the government, being a very eloquent speaker,
a man of the greatest temperance, and yielding in dignity to
none of the Romans. It is said of Cato, that even from his
infancy, in his speech, his countenance, and all his childish

passion, and firm in everything. He was resolute in his

to trot out the same old under-performing veterans, just because
they feel that they know what they will get from these players,
rather than to take some risks. Much like my views on marriage,
I think a similar attitude applies to football players. Go with

(Redirected from Generation Gap) Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses, see Generation gap (disambiguation). The
generational gap is a term popularized in Western countries
during the 1960s referring to differences between people of
younger generations and their elders, especially between
children and their parents.[1] Although some generational
differences have existed throughout history, modern generational
gaps have often been attributed to rapid cultural change in the
modern and postmodern period, particularly with respect to such
matters as musical tastes, fashion, technology and politics.
These changes are assumed to have been magnified by the
unprecedented size of the young generation during the 1960s,
which gave it the power and inclination to rebel against
societal norms. However, sociologists also point to
institutional age segregation as an important contributing
factor to the generational divide. Those in childhood phases are

1. Currently if you set to autoindent and indent to four
spaces, pressing tab at the beginning of the line inserts spaces
instead of a tab. That's all well, however in this case the
quote and txt commands also insert spaces when you try to insert
a tab. In the least case, I think you should fix at least the
quote command (perhaps by changing the uedit.c:utypebw_raw
function not to recognize tabs when the no_decode is set). I
think the cleanest thing might be if there was a separate tab
command bound to ^W in buffer windows, and type didn't handle
tabs in any special way. 2. It would be nice if there was
a math variable for each boolean mode (like autoindent etc)
instead of just rdonly. These would allow a macro to set or

apartment at Park South Apartments around 1 a.m. Sunday after
DJing a birthday party nearby. Police couldn't pull any of the
fingerprints from his car and the complex doesn't have any
surveillance cameras, which leaves him only to speculate. "I've
heard so many different stories. I've heard everything from it's
somebody that I know to it's somebody that scopes out the
place," he said. His home insurance won't cover it because he
wasn't at home at the time. His auto insurance won't cover the
damages either. "My auto insurance does not cover it due to the
fact that it's stolen property. They t |

Same. Fire's like electric; cool, but simply isn't that useful.

useful you just gotta know how to use em. My Luxray in 4th gen
was my most valuable pokemon due to so many water and flying
types being used in that generation, also getting Chimchar at
the start was the only fire type you get besides ponyta before
you get to the Elite Four and it was extremely helpful. All
types are that way aren't they? Most of them are only good
against about three other types, if that. They're useful, you
just gotta know how to make your team. User avatar #136 to #105

Exchange work Relational database technology lies at the heart

off problems and optimize performance. Over the next two months,
I'll take a detailed look at the databases that make up the

0.781173 | -0.804313 | -1 | NEW DELHI, India (CNN) - An Indian court Saturday convicted a
teenage boy for his part in the gang rape last December of a
medical student who later died of her injuries, sentencing him
to three years in prison. The sentence drew immediate protests
outside the court and from the victim's family, who feel it is
too lenient for a crime that shocked the city and prompted a
nationwide debate over the treatment of women and the handling
of sexual assaults. The teenager was convicted of murder, rape
and robbery. His trial was in juvenile court because he was 17
at the time of the crime, and the three-year sentence is the
maximum allowed under the court's rules. Protesters in the
street outside the court raised their fists and shouted, "We
want justice!" If the teenager was old enough to commit the
crime, they said, then he is old enough to have been tried as an
adult and face the death penalty. The victim's parents attended
the trial and said they plan to appeal. "We want him to be
hanged," the victim's visib |

27, 2006 Every uranium-fuelled nuclear reactor creates plutonium
during routine operation. Every 12-18 months the reactor is shut
down, and one quarter of the fuel is discharged, and fresh fuel
loaded. The so-called spent fuel consists of plutonium (around 1
percent), uranium (around 96 percent) and so called fission
products (highly radioactive waste). The Sellafield nuclear
complex where reprocessing takes place. Originally developed
for chemically extracting the plutonium for use in nuclear
weapons, reprocessing facilities were constructed in the US,
Soviet Union, the UK and France. During the 1950's and 1960's
nuclear power advocates in these countries and others promoted
the concept of using plutonium as a fuel for nuclear reactors,
with the aim of providing an unlimited source of energy. The
concept of the breeder reactor was developed, whereby plutonium
would be produced in the reactor, reprocessed and then used as
fuel. However, fast bre |
