Preparing for cognitive capabilities
The global chemicals and petroleum (C&P) industry is undergoing enormous change. Volatile energy prices, reserve replenishment and exploration issues, rising R&D costs, reduced production reliability, manufacturing inefficiency and safety and compliance concerns are causing upheaval in the industry. Cognitive computing is poised to help. But what exactly does it promise the industry, and how can enterprises tap into its potential? We explored these questions using input from 300 C&P executives worldwide. In this report, we look at what a subset of this group's most financially successful organizations – the "outperformers" – are doing differently with cognitive capabilities and what other organizations can learn from their success.

council news
New small secondary dwelling policy
The February meeting of council passed a resolution that would enable home owners to build and rent out small "granny flat" style dwellings.
Currently these can only be leased to family members (that's the theory anyway), which is a bit absurd. These sorts of smaller dwellings would fill a need for large number of students, single people and those on low incomes who don't want or can't afford to rent a whole house; and who don't need or want off-street parking.
The change would also enable home owners to realise some income from their property without having to do a whole rear strata type subdivision if they don't want to (even if their property is big enough for a battle-axe block).
Do you need bike rails at your bus stop?
The council's Climate Change and Sustainability Committee of which I'm a member has got funding to install bike rails at busy bus stops. A number of bus stops along South St could be candidates. If there are spots where you'd like these to be installed then let me know.
Hilton Planning Policy adopted
The January meeting of council adopted a new planning policy for Hilton. In my view the policy strikes a reasonable balance between preserving what people like about Hilton and allowing them to build homes with modern materials and to contemporary standards.
The policy preserves the things in the old policy that protect the look and feel of Hilton (height, size and general form of buildings; generous setbacks) while accepting the use of contemporary materials.
City adopts work place values policy
I'm pleased to report that the November council meeting passed the "Employment Values" policy resolution that was deferred from the October meeting (nine for, three against). In particular I'd like to thank Councillor Josh Wilson for his active and vocal support of this policy.
Statement by MUA in support of workers rights at Fremantle Council
Dear Councillors,
The Maritime Union of Australia West Australian branch supports the adoption of a policy by Fremantle Council which would give to all its workers the rights and conditions they rightly deserve. These include an equal pay structure, the right to be represented by their union and a career path to a permanent position.
Our members enjoy these things and we are proud to say we have secured some of the best employment conditions in the country. But decent working conditions should not just be for workers in a strong bargaining position. It's the responsibility of government, including local government, to look out for the conditions of workers who are in a weak bargaining position but who do important work on behalf of our community.
Make Freo more accessible and inclusive for people with disabilities
The Council is in the process of reveiwing its Disability Access and Inclusion Plan (DAIP). Below is a submission I made to the consultants conducting the review. I don't pretend that this is an exhaustive or perfect list of the things that Fremantle Council could do. Some suggestions might already be in train and certainly there must be many other things that I have not thought about.
If you haven't already made a submission to the City in the course of the public consultation for the new DAIP then please let me know if you have any specific coments or suggestions about how you think we could improve accesss and social inclusion for all people with a disability.
Submission to 2010 DAIP Review
Sam Wainwright (Councillor, Hilton Ward)
Revised Hilton Local Planning Policy adopted
The September 22 meeting of Council voted unanimously to adopt a new Hilton Local Planning Policy. This is only the first stage of its adoption as it now advertised for public comment for a period of at least 35 days, after which it will return to council for final adoption.
I think the policy strikes a reasonable balance between preserving what people like about Hilton (such as the wide verges with trees and the size and form of buildings) while still allowing people to build or renovate using contemporary materials and design.
Woolstores: It's skaters' heritage too!
Every year the state of the old Woolstores building drifts in and out of the local media. Previous development applications for the site have been approved only for the owner to let them lapse. Yet when the state of the building gets raised, the owner predictably blames the council and its heritage preservation requirements. It's hard not to conclude that the owner either has no genuine interest in developing the site or is hoping the existing building will deteriorate to the point that council is forced to approve a complete demolition.
Capital Expenditure in the Hilton-Samson-O'Connor area 2010-2011
Below is a selection of the main capital expenditure projects that the council will be doing in our area in this financial year:
• Carrington St resurfacing (Lefroy to Winterfold and Sainsbury to Clarke) $181,400 (plus $176,400 from the State)
• South St /Paget St intersection (traffic lights) $203,000 (plus $243,000 from the State)
• South St/Ladner St intersection $80,000
• McCombe Ave/South St intersection (traffic lights) $150,000 (plus $200,000 from the State)
• Letchford St/Winterfold St $58,333 (plus $291,667 from the State and Cockburn Council)
• Stockdale Rd to Stock Rd bus stop $5,000
• Snook Cr (Sumpton to Holmes) $24,635
• Stock Rd (Garling St to Good Guys) $13,000
• Garling St (Stock Rd to car park) $8,250
We can support the Citizens Advice Bureau and other services too
Evidently volunteers at the Citizens Advice Bureau and some correspondents to the Herald have genuine fears that the service may be kicked out onto the street. They are right to point to the valuable support CAB gives to people in Fremantle.
However even if council decides to use the Queensgate site for a cyclists end-of-trip facility; I would be very surprised and disappointed if the majority of councillors didn't agree that the decision be dependant on finding an alternative premises for CAB.
In defending CAB some of its supporters have belittled the activities at the One-Stop-Shop in the hope of getting hold of its premises, or doubted the need for improved cycling facilities. This infighting is completely unnecessary.

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard's 18-month-old daughter, Lincoln, uses sign language to communicate.
The Frozen actress has revealed the toddler's speech is improving but she is particularly good at signing.
Bell, who is pregnant with her second child, tells People magazine, "(She can say) a lot of two-syllable words, but she signs mostly because she's really good at it."
The star insists teaching the youngster sign language will boost her communication skills, adding, "People recommend doing signs because the baby can communicate with you and say, 'I want an apple' or 'Look at the black dog,' and you can actually form sentences."
She adds of her second pregnancy, "Thank my lucky stars, it's been a virtually identical pregnancy. Pregnancy can be really hard for women, and I'm lucky that I'm not really symptomatic. I'm okay with being on my feet and I'm lucky that my body feels really good."

Enlighten Me – Webinar Series
For a long time now I've been looking for a concise way to share my most recent explorations and teachings I've been uncovering through my own spiritual journey. I've decided to hold webinars so I can share more of these recent experiences and invite some of my peers and teachers to offer their greatness as well. I've asked a few of my closest and most incredible friends if they would be interested and the response was so positive and inspiring.
The first planned webinar will be held on September 17th, at 5:00pm PST.
It is titled: "The Gift of the Body" and it will feature an interview with one of my most favorite teachers Jonathan M. Goldman. Who will be sharing about the energetics of our body, about forgiveness and compassion and an in depth explanation about light and energy work. This talk is truly, not to be missed.

Healthcare cuts imminent after California voters dismiss deficit reduction plans
Up to $600 million will now likely be sliced from the state's health and human services budget as a result of the overwhelming "no" vote. Of the six ballot measures, only one—a rule that would prevent lawmakers and the governor from receiving a raise during years in which the state's budget is in deficit—passed. The rest, which comprised a combination of tax hikes, earmarks and borrowing designed to reduce the state's budget deficit, failed as unhappy California voters were eager to show their displeasure at the Legislature's job performance.
California has a long history of budget impasses. The most recent one was resolved after nearly three months of heated debate. Many nursing home providers nearly went bankrupt during that time (McKnight's, 9/24/08). Lawmakers must now search for money to plug this year's budget gap, and the first place they chose to look is healthcare and education.

Good luck to whomever accepts! :)
I thank my opponent for his hasty acceptance, and agree that definitions are arguable, though I doubt there will be any need for that. Speaking of definitions, it seems the optimal place to begin this debate.
Death Penalty: "Execution of an offender sentenced to death after conviction by a court of law of a criminal offense. Capital punishment should be distinguished from extrajudicial executions carried out without due process of law. The term death penalty is sometimes used interchangeably with capital punishment, though imposition of the penalty is not always followed by execution (even when it is upheld on appeal), because of the possibility of commutation to life imprisonment." [1]
Essentially, the death penalty and capital punishment are the synonymous, and I will use them interchangeably throughout this debate.
Legalize: to make legal; especially: to give legal validity or sanction to [2]
The resolution promotes giving legal validity to capital punishment.
What Crimes Result in the Death Penalty?:
"The capital offenses include espionage, treason, and death resulting from aircraft hijacking. However, they mostly consist of various forms of murder such as murder committed during a drug-related drive-by shooting, murder during a kidnapping, murder for hire, and genocide." [3]
Allow me to move to the crux of the round.
Morality Argument:
The first and foremost problem with is the morality of such an issue. Though lawmakers and politicians push for such a system, claiming it gives justice to the criminals, it simply isn't moral. The ideology behind the death penalty, and the mindset that is required to sentence and carry out the death penalty creates deadly cyclical killing. The simple reality is that the advocates for the death penalty assume that killers must be killed. But that formula is flawed. Allow me to demonstrate.
A. All who kill must be killed
B. a killed b
C. x must now kill a to preserve the ideology.
From there, y has the obligation to kill x, z must kill y, et cetera. This deadly cycle (literally) goes against any moral groundings of killings, and the laws of our land. If murders must be punished for killing, executioners must be punished for killing. If continuing with this problematic strategy, a never-ending cycle of murder will ensue, causing harm not only to the original family affected by murder, but continuing along the chain. If murder is a crime (which it is) the death penalty goes against predetermined laws; thus, legalization of the death penalty causes hypocrisy and contradiction of the law.
Inhumanity Argument:
Along with being simply immorality, the death penalty is inhumane. Besides the fact of looming death, capital punishment is often painful for victims, as there are multiple forms of the death penalty. Even though many would argue that lethal injection is the best and least painful form of capital punishment, a study shows criminals can and have been conscious throughout their death. This study comes from the British Journal, The Lancet, where they explain, "43 percent had concentrations of anesthetic in their blood — as measured by medical examiners during autopsies — that would indicate consciousness rather than sedation during an execution." [4] This is an inhumane form of punishment and torture to any individual. Dr. Leonidas Koniaris, chairman of surgical oncology at the University of Miami asks us the decisive question, "As a society we need to step back and ask whether we want to torture these people or not." The answer, however, is that we SHOULDN'T torture these people. It is internationally recognized that torture is unacceptable. After World War II, and the persecution and torture of Jews, the international community has generally kept conduct in line in regards to such torture. But now, that protection of torture is being threatened with capital punishment.
"Worthy" Crime Argument:
"The death penalty is only given to those who commit certain criminal offenses." This is something driven into citizens' minds, but isn't always true. Studies have shown that capital punishment has deviated from the previous standards of only SPECIFIC crimes resulting in capital punishment. As of only last year, governments are using the death penalty to punish to combat crime and terrorism as well. The study done by Amnesty International documents, "An alarming number of countries used the death penalty to tackle real or perceived threats to state security linked to terrorism, crime or internal instability in 2014." [5] What we see is that these penalties are being given for reasons that deviate from the primary and regulated reasons. Even perceived threats can result in an unjustifiable death penalty.
These crimes can also give capital punishment to minors, such as George Junius Stinney Jr., who was 14 when he was executed. Journalist David Edwards describes, "Stinney, the youngest person to receive the death penalty in the last 100 years, was executed on June 16, 1944. At five feet one inch and only 95 pounds, the straps of the electric chair did not fit the boy. His feet could not touch the floor. As he was hit with the first 2,400-volt surge of electricity, the mask covering his face slipped off, 'revealing his wide-open, tearful eyes and saliva coming from his mouth.'" [6] The article further explains that Stinney could be cleared, revealing that he was never actually guilty of the crime with which he was charged. This evidence cross-applies to the argument of inhumanity (killing someone so young) and forms a new argument, one of innocence.
Innocence Argument:
We continually see cases where individuals are not guilty of the crime they supposedly committed, and in serious cases, we see executions when the "criminal" is guilty. In fact, a study from the University of Michigan Law school shows, "a conservative estimate of the proportion of erroneous convictions of defendants sentenced to death in the United States from 1973 through 2004, [is] 4.1%." [7] Because capital punishment is death, errors are vital, and very important. Justice systems cannot accurately be described as just when they convict and murder innocent individuals. Thus, without conclusive evidence, governments execute innocent individuals and are not just. Without a just society, abuse is prevalent.
Deterrence Argument:
Though it is a common argument, little credible evidence even suggests that capital punishment deters crime. In fact, the evidence points the other way. In a study published by John J. Donohue and Justin Wolfers, they back up the claim that the death penalty doesn't deter crime. "Sociologist Thorsten Sellin's careful comparisons of the evolution of homicide rates in contiguous states from 1920 to 1963 led to doubts about the existence of a deterrent effect caused by the imposition of the death penalty… the National Academy of Sciences to issue a 1978 report which argued that the existing evidence in support of a deterrent effect of capital punishment was unpersuasive… We find that the existing evidence for deterrence is surprisingly fragile." [8] In reality, deterrence is not a result of capital punishment, and the evidence that supports it is not credible, as evidenced by the report ([8]).
These reasons explicitly explain why the death penalty should NOT be legalized.

It lowers criminal rate, and murder rate. Each execution stops 5 murders. (3) Criminal are afraid of committing the crimes punishable by death penalty (rape murder, murder, kidnap murder, genocide, terrorism, etc) so it will lower the overall crime rate as there are many crimes eligible for punishment by death.
Murderers can be executed, so it's safer for travel or public. Executions, although not a good thing overall, can protect our country and people from getting killed or hurt.
It protects citizens from possible murder, rape, terrorism attack, genocide, etc. Executions are not common and only used for crimes that have been stated to be punishable by execution.
Those are my reasons of why death penalty should be legal.
"The death penalty should be legalized as it lowers criminal rate, increases national security, and protects citizens"
These claims will be discussed later.
"It lowers criminal rate, and murder rate"
1. I've provided a host of evidence stating otherwise, that the death penalty does not deter crime. Cross apply the Donohue and Wolfers evidence to counter this claim.
2. Evidence further proves it does not deter crime. Michael Booth, journalist for the Denver Post details, "The Death Penalty Information Center points to higher murder rates in states that have the death penalty as proof the sentencing threat does not deter crime." [1] The article goes on to cite Cornell University law professor John Blume, "There's no credible evidence of deterrence." Max Ehrenfreund emphasizes this notion in the Washington Post, stating, "Fagan and two collaborators recently compared murder rates in Hong Kong, where capital punishment was abolished in 1993, and Singapore, where a death sentence is mandatory for murder and other crimes and is typically administered within a year and a half. The researchers found little difference between the two Asian metropolises." [2] The Hong Kong and Singapore study [3] shows little to no disparity between deterrence with or without the death penalty. Thus, the claim that capital punishment deters crime falls. The Washington Post article later references another study, being the one by Donohue and Wolfers.
3. Removal and illegalization of the death penalty can is a superior crime deterrent. The North Carolina Coalition for Alternatives to the Death Penalty explains how this works. "Over the past several years, there has been a steep drop-off in the use of the death penalty. No one has been executed in North Carolina since 2006. The number of death sentences handed down by juries has been declining for years, and in 2012 for the first time, no one received the death penalty in North Carolina. Even prosecutors have declined to seek the death penalty in all but a handful of cases. Yet, according to the N.C. Department of Justice, the state murder rate has declined in the years since executions stopped. Given this fact, there is no credible argument that the death penalty deters crime." [4]
4. No evidence is used to back up his/her claim that each execution stops 5 murders.
5. Criminals are obviously not too scared to commit crimes because of impending doom, primarily due to the fact that evidence shows no downward trend in criminal action as a result of the death penalty.'
"Murderers can be executed, so it's safer for travel or public"
1. Criminal activity will occur regardless of any punishment.
2. Prison time can accomplish the same safety, security, and protection for its citizens without causing obligatory cyclical murder and being inherently inhumane in nature.
3. Using the death penalty to provide security is hypocritical. Trying to keep person a safe by killing person b is contradictory.
4. If a government values safety, use the money used for the death penalty to ramp up prison security and guard. The cost of the death penalty is exceptional. Kelly Phillips Erb of Forbes documents, "In terms of costs, a report of the Washington State Bar Association. found that death penalty cases are estimated to generate roughly $470,000 in additional costs to the prosecution and defense." [5] Instead, this money could be used to heighten security at prisons, thus disallowing criminals to escape. Ultimately, that would ensure the same safety and security for citizens without murder and unnecessary death.
"Executions are not common and only used for crimes that have been stated to be punishable by execution."
1. Supposed criminals are not always guilty of the crimes they have allegedly commited. Cross apply the evidence I brought stating that at a conservative estimate of 4.1% of death penalty victims are actually innocent of their conviction.
2. Convicts die innocently. In fact, the Huffington Post published an article detailing the problem. "The four authors [of the study] reviewed the outcomes of the 7,482 death sentences handed down from 1973 to 2004. Of that group, 117, or 1.6 percent, were exonerated [acquitted, released] But with enough time and resources, the authors concluded that at least 4.1 percent of death row inmates would have been exonerated. In other words, more than 200 other prisoners would have been cleared during those three decades." [6] Specifically, that number equates to 301 (rounded) dying innocently from the death penalty. This irrefutably proves inherent flaws with capital punishment, and exemplifies just how erroneous the system really is. Capital punishment is definitely fairly common (7,482 from 1973 to 2004) and not necessarily only used for specific crimes.
3. Capital punishment use is increasing in variety. Cross apply the evidence from Amnesty Internation, where they explain that more and more countries are using the death penalty to punish even perceived threats. Even if the threats have not been confirmed, these convicts can be served capital punishment.
My opponent has not directly refuted any of my points. Allow me to bring those back up.
Morality Argument:
Capital punishment is immoral because:
A. Ideology as such results in obligatory cyclical murder
B. Capital punishment results in hypocrisy and contradiction of the current law.
C. In short, it's murder.
Inhumanity Argument:
The death penalty is inhumane because:
A. Pain is frequently torturous
B. Torture is often executed while the patient is conscious
C. Torture is internationally unaccpetable; the death penalty must be as well.
"Worthy" Crime Argument:
This argument is fallible against capital punishment because:
A. Capital punishment crimes deviate from standards.
B. Common executions are unjustifiable based on predetermined crimes.
C. Minors are not given a second chance.
Innocence Argument:
Innocence contradicts the death penalty because:
A. Many convicts are killed innocently
B. Justice systems are not just when they don't achieve justice.
C. The lack of a just society allows for abuse to judicial systems as a whole.
Deterrence Argument:
Capital punishment does not deter crime because:
A. Evidence suggests no correlation between capital punishment and decrease in crime rates.
B. Evidence contrastly shows a decrease in crime rates when the death penalty was abolished.
C. Evidence showing a trend of decreased crime in concurrency with capital punishment is fragile and not credible.
Please note these arguments and consider them when voting. Good luck on further rounds! :)

Murderers are inhumane towards victims and perform torture while their victims are awake, so what's the difference?
Prison makes them suffer longer in a poor environment.
"Innocence Argument"
To apply a death penalty, the crime must be investigated throughly. There have only been a few cases of wrong death penalty.
I do not agree with death penalty myself, I just wanted to debate it.
"Zimring, Fang, and Johnson (2010) also suffers from first order data problems. ... The paper"s statistically insignificant estimates may thus arise from a failure to account for this potential bias. ... Presuming that the authors did the best they could with limited data, there remains the key question whether the limited data allow one to draw inferences about deterrence." http://www.ssc.wisc.edu...
The singapore models equate Hhk and Hs (homicide hong kong and singapore), but it makes no sense to do this. They aim to prove this by assuming a coefficient of one, but their data never even comes close to a coefficient of one. That undermines the conclusions.
Ima read the Zimring one on Singapore that you posted, but time series data is meh
I feel the death penalty should not be legalized. It is cruel and against what America stands for.

Galafrey Wines has a new label-because having a baby doing vintage, designing and setting up a new website wasn't enough!! why not re design our label. It may not look like much of a change but it more modern and simple, cleaner. We love it!
Why? we just felt our label needed to be more simply, remove more of the writing leaving the absolute bare essentials. Add some texture but make the font and logo less bulky. Hopefully it makes the label look more modern and stands out that little bit more.
All the deisgn work is done by Linda and Kim Tyrer- because we have some artistic abilities and more importantly we know our product and our market.
We are really happy with it!
and a big thank you to Supa Stick labels who helped us with it!
If you wnat to know more about the printing of labels process and watch some information videos visit my blog post Printing wine labels
Hope you guys like it too.

Above: I chose autumn colors because he mostly wears orange, green or blue clothing. The brown has a slight magenta hue to it, complimenting the cooler colors beautifully. I used a bamboo yarn (details below), which has a lovely shimmer to it. It's very soft and smooth, making it a bit tricky to work with, but the finished result has a lot of flexibility and a comforting weight to it.
Above: The pattern uses stitches that cross over each other, creating extra texture in the crochet. Although I like to use a variety of colors in my crochet projects, I think this stitch might look best if crafted in one color.
Crochet Pattern for "Autumn Morning" Crochet Scarf
Chain a multiple of 6 plus 5
Row 1: Crochet 1 sc (single chain) in 2nd chain from hook and in each chain to the end. Chain 1 and turn.
Row 2: Crochet 1 sc in the first sc, *skip 1 sc, 1 dc in next sc, 1 dcin skipped sc, 1 sc in each of next two sc. Repeat from * to end, ending with 1sc in last sc. Chain 2 and turn.
Row 3: Skip first sc, 1 sc in each of the next 2 dc, *skip 1 sc, 1 dc in the next sc, 1 dc in skipped sc, 1 sc in each of next 2 dc; rep from *, ending 1 dc in last sc. Chain 1 and turn.
Row 4: 1 sc in first dc, skip next sc, 1 dc in next sc, 1 dc in skipped sc, *1 sc in each of the next 2 dc, skip 1 sc, 1 dc in next sc, 1 dc in skipped sc; repeat from * to end, ending with 1 sc in the top of the turning chain. Chain 2 and turn.
Repeat rows 3 and 4 to create the pattern.
Above: The finished crochet scarf. I added tassles (knotting the ends to prevent tangles) as a contrast to the crochet pattern.
I used Vinni's cottons' 100% bamboo yarn (Serina), and a 5.5 crochet hook. I used a size 7 crochet hook for the starting chain to prevent that edge being tighter than the body of the scarf. (See more on this method here)
I wouldn't recommend such a smooth, soft yarn for a beginner crochet project, as it can be a bit tricky at times. A similar result can be crafted with cotton yarn, which has more 'grip' and is easier to work with.

Julianne Hough & Brooks Laich's Tropical Honeymoon Is What Dreams Are Made Of — Pics
Julianne Hough just raised the bar on 'relationship goals.' After the 'DWTS' judge tied the knot, she and new hubby Brooks Laich went on a romantic honeymoon and the pictures are gorgeous!
Idaho is nice, but for their honeymoon, Julianne Hough, 28, and Brooks Laich, 34, decided to go a place with more sand and sun. After tying the knot near Coeur d'Alene, the newlyweds packed their bags for a tropical holiday. Their trip began on July 15, when the Dancing With The Stars judge reposted her NHL hubby's Instagram post. "We're gone," Julianne said, showing a snap of their passports while tagging it #honeymoon. They certainly weren't flying to Brooks' native land of Canada, as her next picture was of the former Toronto Maple Leafs player on a picturesque beach.
"And so it begins…" Julianne wrote. What began was a ton of romance and fun, according to Brooks and Julianne's photos. Seriously, they were setting all kinds of honeymoon goals. Brooks took one of the sweetest pictures ever. As Julianne posed near the crashing waves, Brooks took a snap of her – through his wedding ring. "I see you, Mrs. Laich," he wrote. How incredibly romantic! Julianne got a chance to get a sexy shot of her own, as she took a shirtless photo of Brooks as he leaned against some beachside rocks.
The Houghs/Laichs cranked up the "Instagram envy" by posting a few shots from their brunch, their love for each other clearly visible. In a later snap, Brooks certainly was enjoying the "scenery." As he relaxed in a hammock, he took a picture of his wife – wearing a beautiful bikini – as she sat in a swing hanging from a tree branch. "That view though…" Brooks wrote, and it's clear he wasn't talking about the beach. "We might never leave."
It's obvious that Julianne's heart will never "leave" Brooks, either. The dancer claims her world was "turned around" the moment she met her future-husband, and she instantly knew that he was the one for her. Even during their wedding, their love was undeniable. "I've never seen a man look at a woman like that when they said 'I Do,'" Julianne's BFF and bridesmaid, Nina Dobrev, 28, said about their ceremony. Wow. It sounds like these two could have vacationed in Nome, Alaska and it would have been just as hot as their tropical getaway.
What do you think about Julianne and Brooks' honeymoon pictures, HollywoodLifers?

Posted by dbackjan on

need battery for mx 3000
I have an MX 3000 and my rechargeable PC046067 H battery won't hold a charge anymore. Where can I get a new battery?
Need two batteries both are almost dead.
Great remote, but unbelievable you cannot find a replacement battery. Best Buy coulnd't help and they sell the remote!
I have a remote MX 3000 and I cannot find a replacement battery
I have a Universal Remote MX-3000 LCD Touchscreen Remote and cannot get a replacmenet battery for it(won't hold charge)
My company carries a replacement battery for the MX3000. The p/n for our replacement is PC036067-(V1 or V3 suffix) You can reach me via email at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will be happy to help you.
The link to the item is: http://www.thebatterystore.net/powercard37v1400mahtypicallithiumionbattery.aspx
There are two important considerations concerning this battery.
1) Please note that the original version, supplied by Universal Remote p/n PC046067-H for the MX-3000, was discontinued by the battery manufacturer. The PC046067-H had a typical capacity of 1800 mah. My company has worked with the manufacturer to provide a replacement that has a typical capacity of 1400 mah but is identical in size to the original although slightly thinner.
2) Universal Remote used two different connectors on the PC046067-H with no deviation of p/n. We carry our replacement with both connectors (our p/ns use suffix V1 and V3 to differentiate). V1 is a simple white plug and V3 is different in that it has pressure tab built in.

Please note that the replacement batteries for the MX3000 Universal Remote Control, p/n's Powercard PC046067-H & PC036067V3 have been discontinued.
TheBatteryStore.com now carries an alternative battery, p/n PL056067V3 which is a 2,100 mAh typical capacity battery that can be used as a replacement.
Please confirm that the connector type is the same as your battery prior to placing your order. We only carry this battery with the Version 3 connector which has a built in pressure release tab.

You can get a new battery for $60 from URC. Call them monday 914.835.4484 and place the order
Posted on Apr 01, 2008
Here is a site that sells PC046067-H batteries for the MX-3000 remote. There are two different connectors so be sure that yours matches the one in the solution image above labeled V3 (battery part #'s that it replaces are BTPC56067A, PC046067H & PC046067-H). I have checked all of the sites in the other solutions and this one is by far the least expensive replacement battery. I get all of my specialty batteries here and I always recommend them. Here is the link to the site: PC046067-H Battery Replacement for MX-3000 Remote
Posted on Jul 18, 2013
Total Control Remotes (www.totalcontrolremotes.com) is the best place to buy a battery. Be careful of those scams - they are authorized URC dealers and have whatever MX-3000 users need!

I have a full system for sale with two batteries that I will sell since the screen is bad - you can have it all for $50 (you pay the shipping).

text: EAT is a guy sitting on a couch and eating what looks like bread rolls for more than half an hour. It's black and white and silent. If you've never seen one of Warhol's experimental films, this one might be a good place to start, but it might turn you off from seeing any more of them. Still, it's something you wont forget soon, it's a lot like the films from the 1890's just showing someone doing something mundane, except it goes on a lot longer. But art it is.

PLANS for a huge leisure complex which was set to transform Waterlooville have been withdrawn.
Community leaders now fear Waterlooville and Havant may not get the leisure facilities they desperately need.
Planning permission has been granted to redevelop the old BAE Systems site, off Hambledon Road, with a mix of facilities, including a bowling alley, gym and cinema, to serve the growing community in new housing developments.
Hundreds of new homes have been built with many more to come.
But at the moment residents have to travel to Portsmouth and the surrounding towns to enjoy a night out.
Now Havant Borough Council has revealed the application for the shops, a hotel, restaurant and drive-through takeaway has been withdrawn by the owners Summerbrook, a subsidiary of Hargreaves.
David Crichton, chairman of Waterlooville Community Forum, said it was a blow.
'There is considerable disappointment,' he said.
'It will have a major negative impact on Waterlooville if we lose this development.
'According to the council they are looking at a phased, commercial development and this worries me. What do they mean by that?
'The most important thing is the cinema. We would like some reassurance that it isn't going to be a major rewrite of the plans, they are just doing things in a slightly different way.'
Residents were pinning their hopes on the new bowling alley after AMF Bowling in Bedhampton closed last year.
Mr Crichton added: 'This is probably the most important project in Waterlooville.
'It will make a big difference to have a leisure hub here. At the moment residents have to travel to Port Solent, Gunwharf or Fareham to go to the cinema.'
Planning permission was given in December 2013 after several years of talks.
There was also provision for a supermarket – which was widely expected to be Aldi.
Hargreaves, the developers, did not respond to calls from The News.
But, in a statement the council said the developer indicated that it intends to submit another application for a more 'phased approach to the delivery of the site than the previous scheme had allowed for.'

Since 2001, Dan Hirsch has been one of most influential music booking agents around town. You could call him an unsung hero, except that he's widely respected for the range of shows he has programmed in his various stints at the Museum of Fine Arts, Non-Event, World Music/CRASHarts, ArtsEmerson, and on his own.
He's had a good ride, but earlier this week Hirsch packed up his Cambridge apartment and set out for a new job. When the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University opens this fall, Hirsch will be on staff as a curator of performances and public programs.
On the eve of his departure, Hirsch riffed on the incredible memories he's taking from the five organizations where he worked tirelessly in the name of good, and important, music.
1. Museum of Fine Arts. "Dirty Three burning the place down. . . . Tinariwen holding the audience in thrall. . . . Spiritualized flanked by gospel singers and strings. . . . hanging backstage with Odetta. . . . Jimmie Dale Gilmore in the rain. . . . Hearing Beach House for the first time. . . . Joanna Newsom in the courtyard. . . . Jorge Drexler being mobbed like he was the Beatles. . . . Matmos mixing light S&M with Steve Reich. . . . Seu Jorge madness. . . . A drunk woman getting up on stage and grinding on Britt Daniels while Spoon tried to play. . . . Sharon Jones giving the Dap-Kings a rhythm tutorial on the loading dock. . . . And, of course, Alejandro Escovedo's rendition of Mott the Hoople's 'I Wish I Was Your Mother' sung off-mike, from the edge of the stage.''
2. Non-Event. "Getting to present Finnish legends Pan Sonic was a longtime dream come true. They stayed at my apartment and said barely a word until the next morning, when Mika Vainio looked at me and said in halting English, 'You have a very nice apartment.' ''
3. World Music/CRASHarts. "Two vastly different but equally cathartic shows at the Somerville Theatre come to mind: Os Mutantes's triumphant Boston debut, a mere 40 years after the Brazilian band released its seminal trio of early albums, and Vic Chesnutt's final local performance before his untimely death - a howling, defiant coda, backed by members of Fugazi and A Silver Mt. Zion.''
4. ArtsEmerson. "I've always thought that Low never gets the credit it deserves. On a good night, they're as emotionally devastating a band as you're going to find in rock. At the Paramount, 'When I Go Deaf' could have gone on for hours, and I wouldn't have pulled the plug.''
5. Free agent. "I put on a number of loft shows in Chinatown, most memorably Jack Rose and Glenn Jones playing in jungle-like heat and humidity on a summer's night.''

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- For a team that is apparently lacking focus, the weather on Wednesday in California likely didn't help.
Being able to finally take the field, however, might have.
With the sun shining down and not a cloud in the sky, the Eagles took the practice field with helmets and pads for the first time since coming to California, the first real day of preparation for their game this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
How did the team look -- and how are they handling the distractions?

Moral Development and Reality
Moral Development and Reality: Beyond the Theories of Kohlberg and Hoffman explores the nature of moral development, social behavior, and human interconnectedness. By comparing, contrasting, and going beyond the works of pre-eminent theorists Lawrence Kohlberg and Martin Hoffman, author John C. Gibbs addresses fundamental questions: What is morality? Can we speak validly of moral development? Is the moral motivation of behavior primarily a matter of justice or of empathy? Does moral development, including moments of moral inspiration, reflect a deeper reality?
Moral Development and Reality elucidates the full range of moral development from superficial perception to a deeper understanding and feeling through social perspective-taking. Providing case studies and chapter questions, Gibbs creates a unique framework for understanding Kohlberg's and Hoffman's influential contributions.

At one point in time, after getting our hopes dashed month after month, this conceiving journey became a very real source of stress. The fact that I wasn't pregnant was really eating into me, and I was feeling so tired and demoralized.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
The stress of infertility
Friends around us would happily share news of their successful pregnancies, and after a while, it became a joke. I would ask God, Why? Why are those who got married after us getting pregnant so easily, and when will it ever happen to us? Will it ever?
Our work schedules also became much more intense as we were both promoted around the same time, which meant more responsibilities and commitment to our jobs. While I enjoyed my work, I still felt something missing. A yearning for a little family of our own, and a more balanced life with joy and purpose.
It was crazy trying to juggle the demands of work, while also trying to be chill about not being able to conceive yet. Some days, I felt like I was just pretending.
Pretending not to care.
Pretending that it didn't matter.
Pretending that I wasn't hurt and disappointed.
What made it worse was the tension that it created in our marriage – on mismatch expectations, and not being able to have the space and time to clearly communicate with each other.
One of the most stressful periods I recall was when Bren had to work overnight, or late nights very often, and the only time I saw him was just before I slept. He would quietly creep onto the bed beside me, whisper a prayer, give me a kiss, and that was the end of our night. I would tell my friends that it felt like I didn't have a husband because he was hardly around.
But, almost immediately, I would feel bad about such thoughts, since I knew he was simply focusing on his current responsibility. He had always been a good worker with excellent work ethics.
I just wished he was with me more…..*wistful*
This went on for quite a few months, and I had a few breakdowns of my own at work. It was definitely not an easy time of life, and I was finding it tough coping with various stressors.
God is faithful
What helped me was taking moments to dwell on God's Word. I would journal, and intentionally gave thanks for something that happened that day. This made me refocus again. My heart was then strengthened and encouraged for I started recognizing tiny blessings from the grace of God, and this act of thanksgiving became a refrain of my day – again, and again, and again.
This simple act of thanksgiving healed a part of me that I did not even realize was hurting so bad…

The Public Services, Tax and Commerce Union (PTC) was created on 1 January 1996 by the merger of the National Union of Civil and Public Servants (NUCPS) and the Inland Revenue Staff Federation (IRSF). Plans for this merger had been agreed between the two unions in October 1994. In March 1998 the PTC amalgamated with the Civil and Public Services Association (CPSA) to form the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS).
The PTC represented executive, directing, support, manual and industrial grades of the Civil Service and other public organisations (including the Post Office, Girobank, the British Airports Authority, the Civil Aviation Authority, the Crown Agents, British Nuclear Fuels Ltd, the UK Atomic Energy Authority, the National Computer Centre, national museums and galleries, the Palace of Westminster, and civilian staff employed by the armed forces, the Prison Service and the Metropolitan Police). These grades included, among others, executive officers, revenue officers, immigration officers, customs officers, instructors, communications staff, technicians, craftsmen, Coastguards up to the rank of District Officer, Royal Parks Constabulary officers up to the rank of Chief Superintendent, foresters, storekeepers, catering staff, cleaners, security officers, messengers, paperkeepers, library assistants, museum warders and sales staff, court ushers, laboratory assistants, photographic and reprographic staff and Metropolitan Police traffic wardens.

Ral Partha Raise The Dead For 18mm Fantasy Warfare
December 30, 2013 by brennon
Ral Partha Europe have been putting together an undead army for use in 18mm warfare and below you can check out a pair of previews for this deathly legion. See what you think of them.
Since I'm picking up an undead army of my own right now I am rather taken with the look of other dead forces and these are very cool looking for their scale. It's a bit of an odd one, 18mm, but I'm sure it works out well!
I particularly like the skeletons with great weapons in this preview, especially the one on the left hand side of the photo. The hood makes it a great model!
Now I have to get back to my 28mm horde of the undead!

Lost in a sea of clouds, entire civilizations rest on the backs of Titans. As the giant beasts march toward death, the last hope is a scavenger named Rex—and Pyra, a living weapon known as a Blade. Can you find the fabled paradise she calls home? Command a group of Blades and lead them to countless strategic victories before the world ends.
Each Titan hosts its own distinct cultures, wildlife, and diverse regions to explore. Search the vast open areas and labyrinthine corridors for treasure, secret paths, and creatures to battle and index.
During these escapades, you'll get to know a large cast of eclectic characters, including the weaponized life forms known as Blades. Gather these allies, bond with them to increase their power, and utilize their special ARTS to devastate enemies. But to save the world of Alrest, you must first demystify its cloudy past.
Alongside the standard version, fans can also pick up a special edition of the game that includes a sound selection CD, a special metal game case and a 220-page hardbound art book at a suggested retail price of $99.99. A Nintendo Switch Pro Controller themed around Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will also be available on Dec. 1 at a suggested retail price of $74.99.
- Explore colossal beasts called Titans, the homes of different civilizations, offering expansive regions to discover.
- Form powerful bonds with Blades, unique beings granting tremendous power to their users, called Drivers.
- Features a deep battle system that builds on triumphs of the Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles X games.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 lands on Nintendo Switch on Dec. 1, 2017.

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
As an entrepreneur and business man for most of my life (since about 12 in fact with my first paper route where I had other kids actually under my employment on routes that I owned)…and later as a network marketer and now success coach, there's one thing that has been blatantly missing in most people's lives when it comes to
MLM success.
That one thing is the underlying foundation that causes the potential and sets the stage for success. That thing (or those things perhaps I should say) are VALUES!
We all have them whether we realize it or not. We all live our lives according to our own values whether we realize it or not. The problem is that most people don't realize that we even have them, or what our values are, and so we create a life that we don't, simply because we're unaware that we have values that we don't want.
Confused yet? Well you won't be in a minute just stay with me here.
Now, basically self values are a set of beliefs held by a person. Values can be described as things like strength (being seen or always acting in strength), conservative, liberal, independent (being able to act without the need of others helping you), sincerity, kind, respectful, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, etc.
Your values are the things that you believe in, and that help you prioritize what you do, and why you do it.
Most people have values that they're not aware of because these values have been instilled in us from others, such as our parents, and other forms of persuasion such as the groups that we hang out with, and the information that we use to fill our minds…for instance what we read, what we listen to, etc.
So you can see how your values will determine your goals and your
MLM success.
If you've got conservative values for instance, then your goals will not likely be the same as someone with more liberal views. For instance you may be a big believer in capitalism and therefore want to start a business of your own, so that you can then go on to employ others…which creates of feeling of giving back because you're able to keep a group employed.
Your values may be that of respect and kindness, so your goals may include giving back to others that you feel deserve respect. Perhaps giving and donating your time to elders or veterans.
Hopefully you're seeing how your values will influence your goals.
Again, most people have never really taken the time to sit down and analyze their values and beliefs. They really don't know what's important to THEM, and they've simply lived by what's been instilled by others. The problem with this is that what you truly value and what's been taught to you may be in conflict.
Your values dictate your mindset. So if you've grown up in a poor family and your parents and other members of your family have always held on to the belief that government should take care of them… but you feel that there's a way out on your own and that a person can take their fate into their own hands, then your values and mindset may be conflicting, causing you not to set goals that are challenging enough.
This is why for
MLM success
to come your way, it's crucial that you understand what you truly believe. It's essential that YOU are living by YOUR values. Once you know your true beliefs and values, then you can set goals according to them. You'll be on a path that reflects your own beliefs and not those of other influences that has snuck into, and dictated your subconscious mind.
This will mean that you're living YOUR TRUE PURPOSE in life. MLM Success comes much easier when you're living and chasing dreams that follow your true purpose.
Take the time to write down your values, create goals that lend to those values, and you'll begin to feel a clarity that you've never experienced.

In the Hallmark TV movie Summer in the City, young and attractive Taylor Morgan is the protagonist. She's a small town girl working in a retail store. When her boss Alyssa (Vivica A. Fox) offers her a promotion — a chance to manage her New York City store — Taylor jumps on the opportunity. Taylor does her best to fit into New York but discovers that the secret to her success lies in keeping hold of her Midwestern charm. Oh, and she falls in love with cute real estate broker Phil.
Taylor is portrayed by Julianna Guill. She's known for her roles on Rush Hour (Alice), Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce (Becca Riley) and in the films Captain America: Civil War (Stark's Assistant), and Friday the 13th (Bree, 2009), among others. Summer in the City premieres on Hallmark on Saturday, August 13 at 9pm. It will air again August 14 at 3pm, August 20 at 7pm, August 21 at 11am, and August 27 at 11am.

Blanche Lincoln may represent Arkansas in the US Senate — but given the pain she's trying to inflict on New York's financial sector, she might as well hail from London or Hong Kong.
With talks under way to reconcile House and Senate financial-reform bills, the powerful Agriculture Committee chairwoman is reportedly working overtime to resurrect a plan that would force banks to part ways with their lucrative derivatives-trading operations.
Which, in turn, would separate New York from a healthy chunk of its tax base — and a whole lot of jobs.
Few would dispute, of course, that the market for credit derivatives — complex bets about whether a company will default on its loans that were at the heart of the financial crisis — needs reforming.
But both the House and Senate bills do that already — by creating transparent marketplaces for the trades and requiring firms to put cash down before they bet.
Lincoln's proposal, by contrast, is nothing but thoughtless Wall Street-baiting.
And the threat to New York is real.
As the Manhattan Institute's Nicole Gelinas points out, forcing banks to form entirely separate corporate entities to make derivatives trades severely weakens their incentive to keep those operations in New York — especially with global financial centers like London beckoning.
Mayor Bloomberg also opposes the measure. "It will send jobs overseas," a spokesman flatly predicted.
Heck, even the Treasury Department and the FDIC hate Lincoln's plan, on the grounds that it'll push derivatives trading into less-regulated areas.
And Sen. Chuck Schumer?
He demurred on the details when queried yesterday, but insisted, "We need a bill that will . . . create jobs in New York rather than destroy them."
Right on.
Getting Lincoln's language killed won't be easy, given the nation's current antipathy toward Wall Street.
But Schumer has demonstrated formidable legislative skills in the past, and we're confident that the state will be well-represented this time around.
Best of luck, Senator.

Find Out How Credit Repair Is Done
No matter what your age or your income, you need good credit! Be it hard economic times or foolish indiscretions, what ever happened to bring your credit score down it must now be brought up. Much easier said than done, so please read on for some very helpful tips and advice you can put into practice immediately to get that credit rating back up where it belongs!
If you are worried that you may not have the dream of home ownership again after a foreclosure, there may be good news in that area. Depending on the reasons for the foreclosure, you may be able to have another home within three years, but this may require a larger down payment and higher interest rates.
It may be a good idea to include an old-fashioned bank loan in your credit repair activities. Banks may be willing to give even those with bad credit a loan. Paying back a small loan on time will really help your credit history. Be aware, however, that you won't get the best terms with poor credit. You may have to suffer a bad interest rate or put up collateral to secure the loan.
Secured credit cards are an effective way for you to start rebuilding your credit. Most likely, you will not have a problem obtaining this type of card, but you must add funds to the account before you make any purchases to assure the bank that you will pay. A responsibly used new credit card will begin healing your credit score.
Do not make credit card payments late. By remaining on time with your monthly payments, you will avoid issues with late payment submissions on your credit report. It is not necessary to pay the entire balance, however making the minimum payments will ensure that your credit is not damaged further and restoration of your history can continue.
If disputing an account with the credit agency does not produce results, dispute it with the actual creditor. Send them a letter through the mail advising them that you do not believe that the debt is yours and request that they provide you written proof of the debt. If the account is older, chances are they will not have the records. If they cannot prove the debt they must remove it from your credit report.
If you notice a mistake in your credit report, you can make the corrections yourself. You will need to contact the major credit-reporting agencies and ask for assistance. This is pretty straight forward and there is no fee to do this. There are also publications that offer credit history self-help, as well.
An important tip to consider when working to repair your credit is to ideally keep your credit card utilization no more than 25 percent of the total credit limit. This is important because your credit card utilization is directly responsible for your credit rating. If your balance is high, aim to bring it down to no more than 70 percent.
Before signing up with a credit repair counselor, be sure they are a legitimate company. There are many scams that exist in order to take advantage of desperate people in serious debt. Read the reviews from other customers and the company's listing with the Better Business Bureau before signing anything with a credit repair counselor.
Nobody is perfect and most of us have made the same spending mistakes that you have and negatively effected our credit ratings. Facing up to the problem is the first step and it is a big step in the right direction. Take what you have learned today from this article, apply it to your every day actions and incorporate it into your strategy for repairing your credit now!

No more copy cats
Replicas of famous outfits from hit movies can now be legitimately bought online.fashion and trends Updated: May 08, 2010 01:54 IST
Remember the sexy beige saree worn by Priyanka Chopra in her famous desi girl song in Dostana...or the bridal finery that Aishwarya Rai was decked up in, in the blockbuster Jodha Akbar?
Now you no longer need to try and explain the dress to your friendly neighbourhood tailor to copy the style. Thanks to some new websites that specialise in making near identical outfits worn by the stars in hit movies, you can just order online and flaunt the famous look.
One such site, indianhangar.com has even hired big name Bollywood designers such as Neeta Lulla to create such replicas, suited to your specifications.
"Even after a hit movie's theatre run ends, people are still crazy about those clothes," says Mallika Singhania, the website's promoter.
"Clients can browse the site and select the star looks they want copied," she says, adding that Rai's Devdas and Jodhaa Akbar looks are the most sought after.
"I've also been flooded with requests for Priyanka Chopra's Desi Girl look from Dostana. Kareena Kapoor's kurtis from Jab We Met are very popular with NRIs."
Instead of getting a cheap imitation, the site promises to get the original designer to recreate a customised ensemble. "A lot depends on the client's budget," Singhania admits. "If you can't afford the exact replica, the designer will make adjustments to suit your pocket."
With Neeta Lulla already on-board, designers such as Manish Malhotra and Vikram Phadnis are also considering tying up.

We are going to discuss about the error that mostly occur while installing SOA 11g suite.
When we try to install SOA Suite 184.108.40.206.0 on Linux Environment, While doing the prerequisite checks, we might get some errors with respect to operating system packages.
If there is error while checking the recommended operating system, there there will be a red cross sign instead of green tick sign, with the error details in the log below.
How to resolve the 2 errors that can be seen above:
1) Checking compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-69.el6.i686 >>Not found
With root user, run the following command:
#yum install compat-libstdc++-33
#yum update compat-libstdc++-33
You might get this after you run above command:
[root@OL6 ~]# su -
[root@OL6 ~]# yum install compat-libstdc++-33
Loaded plugins: aliases, changelog, downloadonly, presto, refresh-packagekit,
: security, tmprepo, verify, versionlock
Setting up Install Process
Nothing to do
Note: If you see " Nothing to do" after you run the command, that means the package is already installed on your system.
In that case, you can delete the package and try to re-install the package by using following command:
To remove the package
#rm -rf <name of the package>
For eg.
#rm -rf compat-libstdc++-33
Now reinstall the package by using the following command:
#yum install compat-libstdc++-33
This can solve the issue.
2) Checking libgcc-4.4.4-13.el6-i686 >>>> Not found
#yum install libstdc++-devel.i686
#yum update libstdc++-devel.i686
64-bit OS by default only install 64-bit packages, but oracle software needs few 32-bit RPMS also as pre-requisites. You need to use package.i686.
NOTE: The above command "yum install libstdc++-devel.i686" can also solve other package errors.
The status of all the checks shows that there is no error and you can move forward with the rest of installation.

The problem with REAL ID is primarily two-fold:
1. Biometrics: I have a difficult time seeing how biometrics and Constitutional thinking can go together. Are our rights God-given and Constitution-recognized?
Or are our rights to be reduced to a string of digits (very personal body-information) held hostage to the mercy and good will of an extremely powerful central government? (Apply the question to SSN numbers as well...)
2. 4th Amendment issues: Are Americans "innocent until proven guilty" or are they "Guilty until properly identified?"
Challenge: Are there adept bloggers out there that can locate facts on which biometrics companies had been lobbying Congress to pass the REAL ID Act?
Were people like Sensenbrenner lobbied by such companies?
Inquiring minds want to know.

(But i really like this webserver) Don't think i've mentioned, but i am trying to set up a demo-backend REST API (which will later be live-backend) with OLS an PHP 7. It works marvellous! But sometime i get ~100ms on quite "small" REST calls. Here's a chart! From top to bottom: DNS-Respone (0 ms) Connecting (54 ms) Sending (0 ms) Waiting (76 ms) Receiving (5 ms) And in this PHP-function, i have a timer when it starts/stops, which is reporting 3-4 ms (so i guess PHP is very quick?). Can you hint me some tweaks and guides to improve server response even more? If you need any info about my current setup (without presenting the whole setup with ISP, Server hardware and all that), just tell and i'll supply as good as i can Cause, this is the very first serious OLS setup, so i might have set parameters badly from start, who knows, not me, thats why i ask .

Make the dressing: Heat a large pot with low sides or a large skillet and add the olive oil. Heat the oil and when it begins to smoke lightly, add the garlic and onions. Season with salt and add the red pepper flakes, cumin, ginger and coriander and stir to blend. Cook over medium heat until the garlic and onions become translucent, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the rice and stir to blend. Toast the rice with the onions and spices for a minute, and then add the chicken stock. Simmer over low heat until the rice is almost cooked, 16 to 18 minutes. Resist the temptation to stir the rice. Transfer the rice to a large bowl, flake with a fork and allow it to cool at room temperature for a few minutes.
Finish the dressing: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Stir in the slivered almonds, golden raisins, pear slices and the egg into the rice. Place into a rectangular baking dish, cover, and bake until golden and cooked through, 45 to 50 minutes.

Personally, I have a problem with organized religion, so he and I may be on the same page from different perspectives.
As to your own suppositions, well, we all know assumptions are like azzholes, everyone has one.
Did you deliberately ignore the part about a ton of scientists working from a variety of different angles to cover all possibilities and limit bias to no more than is absolutely impossible to avoid? Or do you make a habit of underestimating the scientific community that is held responsible for the condition of everything you take for granted?

Then they weren't true scientists. No self-respecting scientist allows such an elementary error as personal bias to interfere with a study. They go to lengths to ensure that it won't be a problem, or they find someone else to assist them in both the examination and the analysis.edit on 21-4-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)

There's refusing to explore a possibility, and eliminating a possibility by taking into consideration the surrounding certainties. Are you sure this isn't the case?

For me it always seems so strange that over there they believe in that god, over here they believe in this god, down there they believe in the joojoo who lives under the bush.
One thing is for sure, the vast majority who believe in a god are wrong, because they all say there is only ONE true god, and they all believe it's THEIR god, therefore the vast majority MUST be wrong.
As for Hawking, well its all theory, not saying he's wrong, but he cant prove he's right.

God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient.
