Ah, Queen night on American Idol. Think of it as the desert outside the gates of Quarth on Game of Thrones. It is a Garden of Bones for amateur singers.
You know how many Idol singers have survived Queen night intact? Precisely one. Adam Lambert.
The final six gamely threw themselves at the rococo walls of Freddie Mercury last night and afterwards got to sing a number of their own choosing. In other words, a double disaster.
First we had Jessica Sanchez taking a flying leap at "Bohemian Rhapsody." Here's how that went.
All I'm going to say is that if Randy, Steven and Jennifer praised that, it's time we officially changed their job description from "judges" to "cheerleaders".
Jessica came back with Luther's "Dance With My Father" a sentimental chestnut that has become something of an Idol cliché.
Skylar Laine up next with "The Show Must Go On" followed by Jason Aldean's "Tattoos on This Town". Nothing really to criticize here except Skylar's increasingly arrogant air of entitlement. You ain't won nothing yet, baby.
Joshua Ledet poured himself into "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", doing it up Bruno Mars style. Came back with an Indie Arie song. Interesting choice.
Elise Testone emoted her way through "I Want It All" and then flew out her own guitarist from South Carolina to accompany her on Jimi Hendrix's "Bold As Love". JLo observed the song was too obscure for this point in the competition. Let me tell you, from the point of view of those who did recognize it, Testone didn't win herself any fans by giving Jimi a jazz scat treatment.
Then the highlight of every Idol competition night this season, Phillip Phillips. (Do you think his parents were drinking in the maternity ward?) First up, "Fat Bottomed Girl". Nicely done but he really should have thanked Puck afterwards because he took the entire arrangement from the mohawked Glee character.
Afterwards, Jennifer stoutly defended Phillips against those who said he is nothing more than a one note Dave Matthews imitator who makes squinchy faces when he sings. Phillips proved her right by coming back with what sounded like a tribute band cover of Dave Matthews' "The Stone". Check it out.
JLo is absolutely correct. Phillips doesn't sound like Matthews. He sounds exactly like Matthews.
Finally Hollie Cavanagh who got raked for her timid cover of Queen's "Save Me" and came back with a passionate version of "The Climb". That's right. We now have contestants on Idol who think of Miley Cyrus songs as classics. Don't that make you feel old?
The best part of the night involved the kids making fun of each other's peccadillos on and off the stage. Joshua's Elise imitation was killer.
My prediction: Bottom three Elise, Jessica and Joshua. I know, I know, crazy, right? It should be Hollie, not Joshua. But I'm going bold (as love). My theory is that the judges' relative harshness to Hollie stood out so starkly that it will win her sympathy votes.
Going home: Elise. Go in peace.

Could you indicate me the steps to > follow or maybe links that can explain how I can achieve this port? > I wnat to do this in a purely edicationnal purpose For this, you might want to start with the ofppc port. It was designed for OpenFirmware-based systems (firmware FirmWorks and machines from FirePower? -- my memory is fuzzy) and it might be possible to get the silicon fruit boards basically running without too much difficulty. The next step would be to support the hardware more directly. For this, the macppc port probably has a lot of the pieces that you need, too, since Apple made a lot of demands on CHRP. It might make sense to either develop "ppcchrp" or "chdp" port since part of the point of CHRP is to have a common hardware base among vendors. Where, exactly, you start partly depends on your resources and what needs to be done to get the port off the ground. If you have a running NetBSD system based on the PowerPC, I would use that for building kernels and netboot the kernels from there. -allen

1. Re: Alert.log: Private strand flush not complete488481 Feb 13, 2006 3:34 PM (in response to 490297)How big are your redo logs? What kind of storage are you using for all your redo log groups/members (SAN, local RAID n, etc.)?
2. Re: Alert.log: Private strand flush not complete490297 Feb 13, 2006 3:52 PM (in response to 488481)Hi John,
I have 15 redo logs, with 2 member each, and the size of each member is 300Mb. I believe that this value is more than enough, or not?
My storage have 8 disks wiht RAID 0+1.
3. Re: Alert.log: Private strand flush not complete488481 Feb 13, 2006 4:24 PM (in response to 490297)If you're writing both members of each group to the same disk array, then that may be part of your problem. You need to move one member from each group to a different array, and make sure the logs are not being archived to either of the redo log arrays. With log switches every 30 secs, you may want to consider having larger logs and fewer groups.

I found this in the oracle documentation:
- log file switch (private strand flush incomplete):
User sessions trying to generate redo, wait on this event when LGWR waits for DBWR
to complete flushing redo from IMU buffers into the log buffer; when DBWR is
complete LGWR can then finish writing the current log, and then switch log files.
I think that I need to increase mine dbw? You agree?
8. Re: Alert.log: Private strand flush not complete488481 Feb 14, 2006 8:39 PM (in response to 490297)Everson,
Yes, I would agree that additional DBWRs should help, especially seeing that you have multiple log groups (1 and 15) simultaneously in the ACTIVE state. That's indicative of a slow DBWR. I don't recall what the recommended setting is for a given number of CPUs, so check the docs for that.
9. Re: Alert.log: Private strand flush not complete488481 Feb 14, 2006 8:49 PM (in response to 488481)A couple more things:
Are /u02 and /db physically different arrays, and not just two mount points on different partitions in the same array?
With two 300mb members in each of twenty groups, you're using 12 GB of storage just for redo. Is that an attempt to solve this and/or other problems? Just curious, because I've never heard of anyone using that many groups before. Maybe I've led a sheltered life :).
10. Re: Alert.log: Private strand flush not complete490297 Feb 15, 2006 12:41 PM (in response to 488481)I changed my DBWn from 2 to 4, but not solve the problem....
The /db and /u02, are diferents fisical storage.....
I am starting to believe that this is a bug...

The word "standard" is in quotes to indicate that this should not be normative (I think).

After the anti-climax of Nasa's upper atmosphere research satellite (UARS) falling into the Pacific ocean, rather than on anyone's head, it will be only a few weeks until we need to start anxiously peering skywards once more for the return of Rosat, a German x-ray satellite telescope.
Though smaller than UARS, it is thought that more of Rosat could survive re-entry to the Earth's atmosphere – as many as 30 pieces weighing a total of 1.6 tonnes, the largest of which is the heat-resistant telescope mirror.
UARS has raised the question of who would be legally responsible if satellite debris did hit someone, which becomes ever more likely as the amount of junk in orbit around the planet grows – Nasa says an average of one tracked piece of debris has fallen back to Earth each day over the last 50 years, most of them burning up in the atmosphere. According to the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, the so-called Magna Carta of spaceflight, the country where the object was launched is absolutely liable.
In 1978 the USSR paid Canada C$3m after one of its satellites crashed into the Northern Territories. A year later, when debris from the Nasa space station Skylab landed in Australia, the town of Esperance imposed a fine of A$400 on the US government for littering, which was eventually written off.
Uniquely in the UK, however, the government passes on this liability in full to the private sector, a policy which experts say harms the space industry's competitiveness. In this year's budget, Chancellor George Osborne promised to fall into line with international practice and place an upper limit on liability, as part of a package of initiatives to encourage economic growth in the space sector.
The UK space industry is significant, contributing an estimated £7.5bn a year to the economy. It directly employs 24,900 people and supports a further 60,000 jobs across a variety of industries.
UARS also gives a glimpse into the fantastically niche area of space law, which throws up all sorts of interesting questions – for example, under whose law would you prosecute an American astronaut who assaulted an English astronaut in the Russian part of the international space station? (America would have first dibs.) Inventions created on the station are patented in the country which has jurisdiction over the module in which the work was done.
Just don't ask about what nationality a baby born on the moon would have. The UN moon agreement does not consider the possibility.
But with space tourism and greater commercial exploitation of space on the horizon, the mission of the handful of lawyers in the UK working full-time on space law is becoming increasingly important.
Joanne Wheeler is one of just two British lawyers to have worked in the legal department of the European Space Agency and is now a partner at City firm CMS Cameron McKenna. She says that much of the work is more about being a good commercial lawyer than having an academic understanding of the five international treaties and sets of UN principles governing space (translated into the Outer Space Act 1986).
"I very rarely look at or cite the treaties," she says. Instead she navigates clients through the regulatory maze involved in, for example, putting a satellite into orbit. This requires the UK Space Agency to sanction the launch and Ofcom to agree an orbital slot, and co-ordinate and allocate a frequency for transmissions, all within a wider international regulatory framework.
Others lawyers come at the sector as insurance or financing specialists, but it is surprising to find a south-east London high street firm, BH Solicitors, offering space law services alongside conveyancing, family law and other staple work. Consultant Kofi Henaku has particular experience of satellite navigation regulation, according to the firm's website.
Nonetheless, the treaties do set the context for space law. A fundamental principle of them is that the exploration and use of outer space shall be carried out "for the benefit and in the interests of all countries ... and shall be the province of all mankind". This arguably causes a tension with the commercialisation of space.
But other conveyancers interested in compensating for the property crash by buying and selling stars, asteroids or plots on the moon will be disappointed. Despite the many companies offering to sell you such attractive rights, the Outer Space Treaty is clear that space and celestial bodies cannot be appropriated. So you had better hope your certificate of ownership comes with a nice frame, because that's about all it will be worth.

'Haywire' Clip: Gina Carano Beats Up Channing Tatum
- By
- 20 Comments
Steven Soderbergh is known for his ability to infuse any number of cinematic genres with slick, unique, stylistic flair. He turned the heist film into the all-star meta party that was the Ocean's Eleven, series; offered broad-yet-intimate looks at both the war on drugs and the spread of disease in Traffic and Contagion (respectively); and even found a way to examine the 2008 economic crisis through the eyes of a porn star in The Girlfriend Experience.
In that sense, the thought of Soderbergh taking on a espionage revenge thriller seems almost mundane – but that's exactly what he's doing with Haywire, and today we have the first 5 minutes of the movie to share. See for yourself how this tried-and-true movie sub-genre looks after getting the Soderbergh makeover.
Haywire stars MMA fighter Gina Carano as Mallory Kane, a "black ops super soldier seeking payback after she is betrayed and set up during a mission." Along the way, Mallory runs afoul of shady government agents on her tail, played by an all-star lineup of leading men that includes Channing Tatum, Michael Fassbender, Ewan McGregor, Antonio Banderas, and Michael Douglas – with Bill Paxton playing Mallory's father, John Kane.
While that synopsis might sound like your average spy-thriller (with a notable girl vs. boys twist), you of course have to account for Soderbergh's stylistic influence, which you can observe by watching the 5-minute Haywire clip below.
Crisp digital photography (courtesy of the Red One camera system), no ambient music, snappy, banter-heavy dialogue (courtesy of screenwriter Lem Dobbs) and Carano's martial arts prowess on full display in the fight choreography…yep, this is definitely a Steven Soderbergh flick. While Haywire might seem like a thousand other movies that came before it, given Soderbergh's aforementioned auteur flair, hopefully the final product will feel refreshingly enjoyable.
One thing that can be said after seeing that clip: the movie starts off on a good foot – as would any movie that begins with Channing Tatum getting pistol whipped.
We'll know for sure whether Haywire is a standout or a forgettable clone once the movie hits theaters on January 20, 2012.

Hello, I was wondering how do I draw objects on a JFrame and not a JPanel, because whenever I search google it always comes up with ways to draw it on a JPanel.
Why would you want to draw directly on the JFrame and not on the JPanel? If we knew your rationale for going against standard practice, perhaps we could help you better.
Which part of the JFrame do you plan on drawing on? The content pane? root pane? glass pane? layered pane? Do you know the reasons why the google search is giving you this answer, why it is in general a very bad idea to draw directly on the JFrame?
Why on earth do you want to paint directly on the frame?
I strongly urge you to create a small compilable runnable program that we can run, test, modify ourselves, that requires no outside dependencies such as images on disk or database, in short, an SSCCE, and then post the code here and we can help you with it.
Cool. Glad you've got it working, and I wish all advice were so easy to give.
It benefits me and everyone else if you improved the quality and quantity of information in your posts. The benefit is that it doesn't take 20 posts of back and forth of extracting information from you before we get to the real problem. If you post all the information in your first post then it will be a lot easier for us to diagnose the problem and provide a solution. The follow on effect is that you get a response sooner so you can fix your problem.

Formation are bringing drugs to the table with their new video, not literally but "Drugs" is the title of their new track.
Frontman Will said about the track - " ... "Drugs" is about trying to adhere to the drugged-up, cocaine infused, London lifestyle, where it isn't just about getting in but fitting in too, hence the first line: 'I'm on the list! Where do I sign up?' ... Musically it's meant to reflect the euphoria and pounding, unrelenting rhythm of club culture."

Mayoral candidate Bevan Dufty is taking issue with the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club's newest mailer, which slams District Attorney George Gascón.
The mailer asks, "Does George Gascón Support the Death Penalty?" Speech bubbles surrounding a picture of Gascón read: "Yes!" "No!" "Maybe?"
The back reads: "Where does George Gascón stand on the death penalty?" It lists statements made to three groups — the Chronicle ("…I will seek (it)"), the Potrero Hill Democratic Club ("I can tell you as DA I will not seek the death penalty") and the Police Officers Association Journal ("Gascon … would keep the door open for a 'death penalty' option in cases involving a murder of a police officer"). It then asks: "If George Gascon constantly changes his mind on a life or death decision, how can we trust him as DA?"
The Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club is endorsing for district attorney David Onek, a University of California law professor, and Sharmin Bock, an Alameda County prosecutor, in that order. The club is also endorsing Supervisor John Avalos for mayor.
In a letter to supporters Tuesday, Dufty, a former supervisor and the only gay candidate running for mayor who is endorsing Gascón, urges supporters to focus on Gascón's overall record and stresses that the district attorney "personally opposes the death penalty."
"I've watched a lot of this campaign focus on trying to polarize against George as it relates to the death penalty," said Dufty, who said he received the mailer at home Saturday. "In terms of how I campaign and I approach the voters, I don't think this is helpful. I think this is somebody who deserves support."
"People can put out what they want to put out," Dufty added. "I definitely want to take my stance as someone of the LGBT community."

But at the same time, the visa sanctions are shaky and almost don't influence Lukashenka and his cronies. Maybe it was the thought that Tomislav Nikolic said to the Belarusian ruler. The dictator obviously wants to Europe, but he is guided by instincts, while moral feelings are not typical of him," the politician noted.He stressed serious financial resources are needed to impose economic sanctions."Implementing economic restrictions and bans on the dictator in practice is not cheap requiring going to the expense and allocating funds. The question is whether Europe is ready to pay to do good for Belarusians and bad for the dictator. Frankly speaking, I cannot give such advice. If the West thinks democracy, freedom and human rights are priorities, it will find a way to deliver a painful blow to Lukashenka's regime. In this regard, I like America's approach. They imposed the sanctions that made Lukashenka groan. They US did the right thing: Americans chose a surgical strike instead of a shooting spree, slapped sanctions on particular persons, their businesses and bank accounts and achieved the desired result," Stanislau Shushkeivch said.It should be reminded that president of Serbia Tomislav Nikolic advised the Belarusian leadership and the dictator personally not to worry about the EU visa restrictions.He said it in Minsk during a meeting with chairman of the "council of the republic" Anatoly Rubinau.

SOUTHPORT, NC (WWAY) — Durham Police are trying to find a missing 20-month-old boy, who they say could be in Brunswick County.
Andrew Thompson Jr. is a black male weighing about 28 pounds. Investigators say he may be in Durham or Southport with his mother Dreama Ferguson, 24, or his father Andre Thompson, 38. Neither parent has legal custody of the child at this time, according to the Durham County Department of Social Services.
Anyone with information on the child's whereabouts is asked to call Sgt. Wiggins at (919) 560-4582, ext. 29240, the Police Department's front desk at (919) 560-4427 or 911.

Facebook's Messenger won't just be for chatting with family and friends in the near future. The social network has unveiled a business feature for Messenger that lets you talk to a store about your orders. The option not only spares you from a flurry of email for receipts and shipping, but gives you an easy way to ask questions — if you want to change your order or add something new, you just open up the existing conversation. In theory, you don't have to go through the hassles of calling or emailing customer service to solve a simple problem. The business effort will only start out with a handful of partners that includes Everlane, Zendesk and Zulily, but a sign-up program suggests that you'll see Messenger used at more online shops before long.
In an effort to bring even more content to Oculus, Facebook has announced at its developer conference that it plans to bring spherical video content to its VR headset. There really isn't a whole lot more information aside from that — how will people load these 360-degree videos? — but it's an important step forward in enhancing the nascent VR platform. Additionally, Facebook also announced that it'll begin to support these 360-degree videos embedded right in the News Feed, so you won't need a headset to check them out if you don't mind not having that whole VR thing.
In the past few months, Facebook has really ramped up the Messenger experience — you can add your location, apply stickers on photos and even use it for payments. Now, Facebook will let you customize your messages even further. That's because Facebook has evolved Messenger into its own platform, which essentially means you can now integrate third-party apps into Messenger. Want to add GIFs from Giphy? Simply install the add-on, find the GIF you want and away you go. You'll find many of these apps — there are apparently already 40 on board — in the compose window. And if a friend sends an image or video from one of these third-party apps and you don't already have them installed, you'll see an "Install" link on them so you can download them right then and there.

Maintaining an active presence on multiple social media networks can be time-consuming, and even stressful.
We're partial to the mobile-friendly connective prowess of Twitter, but there's indisputably huge value in all the big players: Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, GooglePlus.
Each one serves different purposes and is more effective at certain things. Each one has different impact and influence in different areas.
And that's exactly why it's a mistake to put all your social media eggs in one basket – a.k.a choose just one network to be active on. Here's why.
1. Different content works better on different social networks. To reach the most people, with a diverse base of content, you have to utilize a variety of platforms.
Twitter is a buzz generator, beneficial for businesses in generating a big, visible impact (think: hashtags, trends). Inspirational or news-related content works best. Facebook is a humanizer, with content that emphasizes the human connection being the most shareable. GooglePlus's superpower comes from its impact on SEO. Google has started to index and feature GooglePlus status updates, author names, and 'Add to Circles' buttons in search results, making your activity on Google+ critical for a strong organic search presence.
Pinterest is all about the visuals, including photography, infographics, and graphs. LinkedIn is the most conservative network; content that provides solutions to business-related problems does the best.
2. Different content works better on different social networks at different times of the day. Timing is, as they say, everything. Check out this study for a look at the best, and worst, time to post to each network. The takeaway: each social network has a different "personality," and requires independent management.
That being said…
3. Social media management tools like HootSuite, Exact Target (formerly CoTweet) SproutSocial and TweetDeck exist to save you time and energy. You can easily share content across multiple channels, monitor multiple accounts on each platform, schedule posts for the future, track analytics. It's a huge boon, and you should take advantage. We also like Alternion and Netvibes.
4. Social media is an art, not a science. You can read social media studies and pore over analytics until your eyes bleed. You still won't come away with any hard and fast rules about what works best on which network. The solution: establish and maintain a decently active presence on the core platforms, the combination of which could be different for each person or business. Maybe you focus on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn in lieu of committing to producing videos for YouTube. Maybe you concentrate on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest because you love taking photos.
When it comes to social networking, you don't want to spread yourself too thin – but you do want to always try to find a way to keep connected to your friends, clients and customers in more ways than one.
What's your opinion about keeping all of your social media eggs in one basket?

1998: Director of legal education and training, Law Society
2001: Director, Justice
What was your first-ever job?
Porter at the now closed Cane Hill Mental Hospital near Croydon.
What was your worst experience as a trainee?
Hosting a client lunch when I knew nothing about the case or the clients.
Where's the best place to go if you want to find out what's really going on in the office?
My room.
What time do you usually leave the office?
Around 6pm or 7pm, but I often have lectures or receptions afterwards.
What do you do at weekends?
Grow vegetables, sail boats and live in a caravan.
What's your favourite restaurant?
Le Café du Marché in Charterhouse Street, London.
If you weren't a lawyer what would you have been?
A teacher. I nearly was, but I cancelled my place on a training course after spending a fortnight in a secondary school.
Who's your hero and why?
Robin Cook. He was a politician with values and judgement.
What's the best thing about your job?
The chance to change things.
What's the toughest thing about your job?
What's your biggest work/career mistake and what did you learn from it?
Working for the Law Society. I learnt to avoid organisations in terminal decline.

Drake v Chief Adjudication Officer ex parte (1986). We took the Department of Health and Social Security – as then was – to the European Court of Justice and won a claim for a woman who had to give up work to look after her disabled mother and didn't see why she should not get invalid care allowance just because she was married. Married women still receive the equivalent benefit.
If you were stranded on a desert island, what two luxury items would you take?
The spade that I have on my allotment that incorporates a spring action and makes digging a delight. And a computer.
What's the worst partner conference location you've attended?
Any conference held in a bland chain hotel.
What's the longest you've worked without sleep?
I've only once worked regularly at night and that was by choice, when I was writing a book.
If a movie was being made about your life, which actor would play you and why?
Oh, if that could plausibly be Clint Eastwood. More likely it would be Albert Finney, in a role the style of Ed Masry, of Erin Brokovich fame.
Who would you least like to be stuck in a lift with and why?
A number of former Law Society presidents. Too many had depressingly narrow views of the profession.

Shahrukh Khan and Kajol starrer Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is celebrating completion of 1000 weeks of its successful run.
Makers of DDLJ have also released a new trailer of the film which made us revisit the ever-green romance of Shahrukh Khan as Raj and Kajol as Simran.
Indian cinema is famous all over the world for its unique content and absolute entertainment value. Like every film industry in the world, Bollywood has its set of legendary films that became landmarks in the industry's history. One such stalwart is Yash Raj Films' Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ).
Shahrukh Khan's DDLJ has inspired generations of filmmakers ever since it has hit the theatres. Although, the movie was released in 1995, the movie still entertains the viewers like it did around 20 years back.
Every dialogue, every scene, every emotion depicted in the movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge still reside in our minds and any thing resembling to DDLJ, quickly takes us back to the charm of the film.
Now on the completion of 1000 weeks of Shahrukh Khan's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, here is a list of top 10 films/scenes inspired from DDLJ.
Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
This is an official remake of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Directed by Shashank Khaitan, this film was produced by Karan Johar. Everything about this film is almost exactly like the original DDLJ; especially in the climax scene where Alia Bhat proposes to Varun Dhawan in absolute Raj style - it's just that the genders are switched.
Jab We Met
Director Imtiaz Ali went on record saying he was deeply inspired by Aditya Chopra's direction in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. Kareena Kapoor plays this film's female lead, Geet, who is carefree and very 'filmy'. In fact, the opening sequence of Jab We Met where Geet chases a running train shows the DDLJ influence most prominently.
Bachna Ae Haseeno
This film is a bigger picture drawn with three little love stories. The first story involves Minnisha Lamba as Mahi, a dreamy girl who believes in true love and is sure she will meet her 'Raj'. She meets Raj (Ranbir Kapoor) while on a trip to Europe and falls in love with him, just like Simran fell in love with Raj while on a Euro trip.
Chennai Express
The opening scene shows the female lead character played by Deepika Padukone, trying to run away from home. She is seen chasing a running train and Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) is a passenger on the same train who helps her board it while the iconic tune is 'Tujhe Dekha Toh Yeh Jaana Sanam' plays in the background.
2 States
When Tamilian Brahmin Ananya Swaminathan (Alia Bhatt) falls in love with Krish Malhotra (Arjun Kapoor), their parents were completely against the idea of their relationship. The film documents the couple's struggle to convince each others' families. Krish goes the extra mile to live with Ananya's family and mingles with them just to gain their trust, much like Raj did in DDLJ.
Break Ke Baad
In this film, the lead characters Abhay and Aaliya, played by Imran Khan and Deepika Padukone respectively, have been friends since childhood. A mushy scene in the film shows the two realizing their love for each other for the first time while they're watching DDLJ together.
The second half of this film sees Tiger Shroff as Bablu evolving from his hoodlum-ish behaviour to a mature Indian man who realizes the value of familial consent and decides to elope with Kriti Sanon as Dimpy. The young couple fights it out with Dimpy's family and her father gives them his consent at the last minute. The whole idea appears to be inspired by Raj and Simran's struggle while getting Simran's father's approval for their union in DDLJ.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
This film features a studious young girl who falls in love with a flamboyant and boyish guy while they're on a road trip to North India. The resemblance between this tale and that of Simran and Raj from DDLJ is quite strong.
I Hate Love Storys
By far the clearest reference to DDLJ after Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania is Imran Khan-Sonam Kapoor starrer I Hate Luv Storys. The lead characters are named Raj and Simran; they're both very vivid and Simran clearly speaks about how movies, especially DDLJ, inspire her.
Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi
This film has a completely unusual storyline, but involves a rather complicated love story between Boman Irani and Farah Khan as Farhad and Shirin respectively. Although the film itself has little resemblance to the story line of DDLJ, one of its posters is a clear remake of one of the iconic DDLJ posters.

Peter Claude, a USA-based partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers pharmaceutical and life sciences advisory services group, was speaking as the firm published a report, Recapturing the Vision which highlights the significant differences between the public's view of pharmaceutical companies and the industry's self perception.
Mr Claude said that "it is difficult to comprehend how an industry that has saved so many lives should be held in such low public esteem."
At present, he told PharmaTimes WorldNews, "no-one is listening to them (the drugmakers) and no-one wants to listen to them," which means that the industry has to change the dynamic of its communication, especially at a time when the sector is under such pressure from governments and a fairly hostile media.
However, I have to say the problem is not about "view" and "self perception" – Peter Claude is wide of the mark… the problem is about the reality that the pharmaceutical companies that are all too happy to create markets for drugs that they know to be unsafe and they are putting their wealth before patients' health.
The age of the truly innovative blockbuster drug is over – Big Pharma knows this and so continues to market sub standard products to the public. This is the reason why we have seen marketing and advertising spend leap ahead of (by two to three times) the R&D spend at every major drug maker in the world.
This simple fact shows where Big Pharma's priorities lie – science and discovery have taken a back seat and the salesmen are driving.

|[en] The CphA metallo-beta-lactamase produced by Aeromonas hydrophila exhibits two zinc-binding sites. Maximum activity is obtained upon binding of one zinc ion, whereas binding of the second zinc ion results in a drastic decrease in the hydrolytic activity. In this study, we analyzed the role of Asn116 and Cys221, two residues of the active site. These residues were replaced by site-directed mutagenesis and the different mutants were characterized. The C221S and C221A mutants were seriously impaired in their ability to bind the first, catalytic zinc ion and were nearly completely inactive, indicating a major role for Cys221 in the binding of the catalytic metal ion. By contrast, the binding of the second zinc ion was only slightly affected, at least for the C221S mutant. Mutation of Asn116 did not lead to a drastic decrease in the hydrolytic activity, indicating that this residue does not play a key role in the catalytic mechanism. However, the substitution of Asn116 by a Cys or His residue resulted in an approximately fivefold increase in the affinity for the second, inhibitory zinc ion. Together, these data suggested that the first zinc ion is located in the binding site involving the Cys221 and that the second zinc ion binds in the binding site involving Asn116 and, presumably, His118 and His196.

FAIRBANKS - The Togiak National Wildlife Refuge is heaven if you're a cow moose.
In an average year, it's estimated that about seven out of every 10 cow moose that give birth on the 4.7 million-acre refuge in Southwest Alaska have twin calves. In most parts of Alaska, the twinning rate is 20 to 30 percent.
"That's really amazing," state wildlife biologist Rodney Boertje said of Togiak's high twin count.
The secret to Togiak's high twinning rate is that moose are relatively new to the landscape and there is plenty of food to go around, he said. Moose didn't move into the area in any appreciable numbers until the early 1990s and have had the benefit of an all-you-can-eat buffet for the past 20 years, Boertje said.
"They're living high on the hog down there," he said.
Of all the information biologists collect regarding moose in Alaska, the percentage of cows that give birth to twins each year tells them more than anything else. There are other indexes that provide insight to the condition of moose, such as weights of yearlings and age of first reproduction - but it is twinning rates that are the best indicator of a moose herd's general health.
"If you had to have one that would be the best one," said Boertje, who has studied moose for almost 30 years for the Department of Fish and Game and published a scientific paper on moose nutrition in Alaska.
Each year in late May immediately after moose calves are born, biologists take to the skies to gauge the health of moose herds around the state by counting the number of twins they can see from the air. What they see gives them a good idea of how much food the moose have to eat. Low twinning rates - below 20 percent - usually mean that moose are scrounging for food. High twinning rates, such as those on Togiak, indicate that there is plenty to eat.
"You can pretty much track the nutritional status of a population by looking at its twinning rate," said Kris Hundertmark, the resident moose expert at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Studies of both captive and wild moose have shown that producing twin calves requires a cow moose to be in top physical condition. In Alaska, biologists have measured rump fat on moose and used ultrasounds to determine whether they are pregnant with twins. Only the fattest moose carry twins, Boertje said. Likewise, studies of penned moose in Alberta, Canada, more than 30 years ago showed that twinning rates could be manipulated by culling or adding moose to the population.
"Moose have just evolved that way; it's a genetic thing," Boertje said. "It's a switch they can turn on when they need to build up their numbers when the food is good and they can turn that switch off when they need to survive and not raise twins."
It's that biological switch that sets moose apart from caribou, Alaska's other predominant ungulate, Hundertmark said.
"Caribou either have a calf or they don't," Hundertmark said. "Moose can have zero, one, two and in some extreme cases, three calves. All of that seems to be tied to the health of the mother."
The Tanana Flats south of Fairbanks has the lowest twinning rate in the state - 7 percent - which is one of the main justifications the Department of Fish and Game has used to allow large-scale cow moose hunts in parts of the Interior, a controversial management practice that has divided the Fairbanks hunting community in some cases.
Hunters have killed more than 2,000 cow moose in Unit 20A in the past four years as a result of the liberal cow hunts, but so far biologists have yet to see an increase in the twinning rates.
"I'm not surprised we haven't seen anything yet," Fairbanks area biologist Don Young said. "When you look at the historical data of twinning rates after the population crash in the '70s, there was a multiple-year time lag before twinning rates started to go up."
Twinning rates on the Tanana Flats skyrocketed to 40 percent in the late 1970s and early '80s following a population crash in the early '70s due to a series of harsh winters and poorly timed, liberal cow hunts, Young said. It will likely be a few more years before twinning rates increase, he said, assuming that the population doesn't grow.
High twinning rates are usually found in areas with low moose populations because the more moose there are, the less food there is. The Yukon Flats north of Fairbanks, for example, has one of the lowest moose densities in the state and one of the highest twinning rates at 64 percent.
Predators - black bears, grizzly bears and wolves - keep the moose population knocked down to a minimum and there is an unlimited food supply for what moose do survive, Boertje said.
"You can barely find a browsed twig out there," he said.
Likewise, the twinning rate in Denali National Park and Preserve, where you're apt to see more grizzly bears than moose, is 44 percent. The moose that don't get eaten by bears have plenty of food to produce twins, even if chances are good those twins will be eaten.
The department would like to see a twinning rate of about 30 percent in Alaska, Boertje said.
"If you have three (sets of twins) in every 10 (births), that's good," he said. "That means they're getting a lot to eat."
In Togiak, the moose population continues to grow at an alarming rate. In 1995, refuge wildlife biologist Andy Aderman counted an estimated 136 moose on the refuge. Last winter, he counted 1,060.
"Once the moose got established, they've really just taken off," Aderman said.
But things are slowly beginning to change, he said. The number of wolves in the refuge is increasing, and biologists are beginning to see browse that is "broomed," a term used to describe willows that have been topped and are mushrooming, Aderman said.

I live in the South and love my squashes. Has anyone had success preventing squash-vine borers organically?! I have tried aluminum around the stems to prevent boring and a friend has tried pheromone traps to catch bugs w/o success. Even my pest resistant Butternuts eventually succumbed. Row covers seem involved since squashes (esp Butternut, pumpkins) get so big but if someone says they work great I'll give it a shot!

Delfi-n3Xt Command & Data Handling Subsystem
The Command and Data Handling Subsystem (CDHS) of Delfi-n3Xt comprise a redundant onboard computer, local microcontrollers, software and the onboard data bus. Furthermore, the databus and power bus connect all subsystems as the 'Delfi Standard System Bus'.
Onboard Computer
The microcontroller for the Onboard Computer (OBC) chosen for Delfi‑n3Xt is the MSP-430F1611 of Texas Instruments. This microcontroller has flight heritage on Delfi-C³ and many other nanosatellites. In a radiation test carried out by a TU Delft student in cooperation with EPFL and PSI in Switzerland, this microcontroller performed well up to a total ionization dose of 37 kRad without major errors or catastrophic failure. This will yield more than five years of lifetime in Low Earth Orbit. The heritage, results of the radiation test and the very low power consumption has led to the selection of this microcontroller.
The OBC is fully redundant to increase the overall reliability of the satellite. In case the primary OBC is silent on the databus for a while, the secondary OBC will take over. Both OBCs are placed on the same PCB, but with a fully separated circuit.
To provide unique frame identification to telemetry packets and correlate the measurements to time, the OBC is equipped with an Ellapsed Time Counter.
Delfi Standard System Bus
The Delfi Standard System Bus (DSSB) has been developed which connects all subsystems electrically. The electrical power interface is a single supply of 12 Volts. The data bus chosen for Delfi-n3Xt is Inter-Integrated-Circuits (I²C), which is a two wire serial interface also used in Delfi-C³. In the Delfi-C³ project, it has been discovered that microcontrollers can have failure modes in which they pull one or both of the I²C lines down indefinitely while powered. The DSSB therefore comprises of a small circuitry to monitor I²C activity and isolate potential malfunctioning nodes from the main bus. The OBC can then decide to retry the subsystem or to switch over to the redundant subsystem.
Most subsystems need to be able to be switched on or off according to the operational mode and available power. Next to this, as a short circuit can take down the main power bus, a form of over current protection should be placed on each subsystems. The DSSB therefore also comprises a piece of circuitry for over-current protection and power switching on OBC command.
The circuitry and the 20-pins Harwin connector are standardized and consume a bit less than 20% of the total PCB area, which is comparable to the CubeSat standard but adding failure tollerance to the whole satellite.

After I had strung the lights and the kids hung the ornaments, Bridget decided to bite through a light, thus causing all of them to go out. Even the replacement wouldn't work! So I had to go buy new lights and string them up again, careful not to break any ornaments in the process.

It would have cost less than $10 and would have been well worth avoiding all that trauma.

Still, the gasoline idea was funny enough to make me laugh all week.Johnhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-91227458969228552582007-12-17T06:34:00.000-09:002007-12-17T06:34:00.000-09:00I'm laughing so hard right now!!

You have the patience of, well, of a mom with four kids. I think it must be years of putting snowpants, hats, parkas, mittens, two pairs of socks, boots, and scarves on multiple wriggling bodies, only to have one have to go potty just as the other three are starting to slowly steam to death waiting by the door to go out that has produced such generous good will. (I'm just guessing here.) Your friend and her friends are indeed lucky.MommyTimehttps://firstname.lastname@example.com
