Wednesday, March 20, 2013, the first official day of Spring:
Another shot taken through my kitchen window.
This is unlikely to last, the sun being higher in the sky these days.
But who's to say this will be our last wintry blast? 😉

I love your photography and your blog. I passed a photo-op that seems LittleBangTheory worthy. If you get to Northampton in the next day or two, there's a vacant lot on King Street full of a season's worth of dirt and salt and tar caked snowplow scrapings with a beautiful frosting of natural snow that struck me on many levels. I'm sure someone like you with your eye and equipment (as in camera) could create something beautiful out of a sad, inevitable result of our car culture dealing with winter. I'd even consider $$$ for your troubles 🙂

A Comparison Between Wireless CROS and Bone-anchored Hearing Devices for Single-Sided Deafness: A Pilot Study
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
People with single-sided deafness (SSD) have significant hearing loss in one ear and normal or near normal hearing in the other ear. Those living with SSD experience several communication difficulties, particularly when listening to speech in the presence of background noise. This problem is worse in situations where the noise is on the side of the good ear and the speech is on the side of the poor ear.
The Bone-anchored hearing device (BAHD) and the Contralateral Routing of Signals (CROS) hearing aid are two intervention methods designed to improve hearing in people who have significant hearing loss in one ear only. The BAHD is a surgically implanted device which also includes an external processor; sounds from the poor ear are transmitted to the good ear through skull vibrations. The CROS does not involve surgery; instead a hearing aid is fitted behind each ear, and the sounds on the side of the poor ear are wirelessly transmitted to the good ear.
The majority of previous studies comparing the BAHD to the CROS have used older CROS models with basic technology and a wire along the neck to send sounds from the poor ear to the good ear. There is a lack of studies comparing newer digital wireless CROS hearing aids to the BAHD. The current research will compare the effect of the BAHD and CROS hearing aid on speech perception scores when listening to speech in quiet and in noise. The research will also investigate participants' reported benefits with each device during everyday situations. In order to compare the BAHD and CROS, individuals who already have been implanted with a BAHD will be given a trial period with a new wireless digital CROS hearing aid.
The research hypothesis states that the CROS hearing aid will be as equally beneficial or greater than the BAHD in improving hearing and participant benefit. If the findings support the hypothesis that the CROS offers just as much benefits as the BAHD, or is an even better alternative, more individuals with SSD may choose to avoid surgery and decide to receive a CROS hearing aid instead.

Official Title: | A Comparison Between Wireless CROS and Bone-anchored Hearing Devices for Single-Sided Deafness: A Pilot Study |
- Number of 5 Key Words Within 6 Sentence Lists Repeated Correctly in the Presence of Multitalker Noise [ Time Frame: The QuickSIN unaided was administered at baseline, an average of 2 weeks (with CROS or BAHD) and an average of 4 weeks (with opposite device not previously tested). ]One speech-in-noise test (QuickSIN) presented four lists of six pre-recorded sentences at 50 dB hearing level (HL) in soundfield. Multitalker noise was presented together with the target sentence and increased at a fixed number of dB with the completion of each sentence. The multitalker noise was initially presented at 25 dB HL (signal-to-noise ratio - SNR of 25 dB), and increased by 5 dB after each sentence until the multitalker noise was of equal intensity with the final sentence (SNR of 0 dB). In one condition, two lists of sentences were presented to the participant at 0 degrees with the multitalker noise delivered at 90 degrees to the poor ear. In the other condition, two different lists of sentences were presented to the participant at 0 degrees with the multitalker noise delivered at 90 degrees to the better ear. The two scores derived from the two different lists of sentences presented within each condition were averaged. A low score indicates better performance.
- Percentage of Words Recognized [ Time Frame: Word recognition testing (unaided) occurred at baseline, an average of 2 weeks (with CROS or BAHD) and an average of 4 weeks (with opposite device not previously tested).. ]Word recognition was tested with the recorded version of the Central Institute for the Deaf (CID) W-22 (Auditec of St. Louis), with a different list of 25 monosyllabic words presented at 50 dB HL in three randomized listening conditions. In the first condition, one list was presented at 50 dB HL at 90 degrees to the poor ear in quiet. In the second condition, the words were presented at 50 dB HL at 0 degrees while multitalker noise was presented at 45 dB HL at 90 degrees to the poor ear. In the final condition, the words were presented at 50 dB HL at 0 degrees while multitalker noise was delivered at 45 dB HL at 90 degrees to the better ear.
- Speech Spatial Qualities Questionnaire (SSQ) [ Time Frame: Administered at the end of a 2 week trial with the CROS and at the end of a 2 week use of the BAHD. ]The Speech Spatial Qualities Questionnaire (SSQ) was given to assess the self-perceived benefits provided by the device that was worn the previous 2 weeks. The SSQ requires participants to rate their perceived hearing ability for 49 scenarios using a 10-point scale, ranging from 0 ("Not at all") to 10 ("Perfectly"). A score higher than 0 for each listening scenario shows some benefit of the device, while a score of 10 indicates the device was extremely beneficial. Therefore, a lower score indicated poorer self-perceived benefit from the device (representing a worse outcome), while a higher score indicated greater self-perceived benefit from the device (representing a better outcome). To obtain individual scores for the SSQ questionnaire, the ratings for each listening scenario were summed. The mean, minimum and maximum scores for each subscale of the SSQ across all participants were also determined.

Experimental: CROS hearing aid
The CROS uses two hearing aids that fit behind each ear. The hearing aid fitted with a retainer earhook on the side of the poor ear houses a microphone and a transmitter. The hearing aid fitted on the normal ear side houses a receiver that is connected to a slim tube and open ear tip. The CROS does not amplify sound but rather transmits sound from the side of the unaidable ear to the contralateral ear, overcoming the head shadow effect that presents with SSD.
Device: CROS hearing aid
Participants were randomly assigned to be fitted with the CROS hearing aid either at the end of the first visit or at the end of the second visit. They were given a 2-week trial with the CROS and asked to refrain from wearing their BAHD during that time. At the end of the first visit, four participants were fitted with the CROS hearing aid and were subsequently tested with this device on their second visit, at which time they were instructed to use the BAHD for the next 2 weeks. This protocol was reversed in the other four participants, with testing after each device experience. Both devices were compared on head shadow effect reduction, speech perception measures in quiet and in noise, self-assessment questionnaires, and daily diaries.
Other Name: Unitron Tandem 4 CROS hearing aid
Experimental: Bone-anchored hearing device (BAHD)
The BAHD (such as the Baha by Cochlear or Bone-Bridge by MED-EL) also helps to alleviate the negative effect of head shadow and the difficulty with speech perception in noise that present with SSD. Also known as an osseointegrated aural prosthesis, the BAHD is implanted in individuals with SSD to stimulate the ear with the normal cochlea. The BAHD requires that a titanium screw be surgically implanted in the temporal bone on the side of the poor ear. This titanium screw is connected to a percutaneous abutment. An electromechanical sound processor (external transducer) is coupled onto the abutment and can be removed when necessary. Sound can now be routed to the better ear by transcranial bone conduction.
Device: Bone-anchored hearing device (BAHD)
All participants had received BAHD implantation prior to the study. They were randomly selected to continue wearing their BAHD for 2 weeks following the end of the first visit or the end of the second visit. Both devices were compared on head shadow effect reduction, speech perception measures in quiet and in noise, self-assessment questionnaires, and daily diaries.
Detailed Description:
Users of the BAHD will be given a 2-week trial period with the Unitron Tandem CROS hearing aid. Participants will be randomly assigned to wear either their BAHD for two weeks or the trial CROS for two weeks. There will be a total of three visits made to the clinic.
During each visit:
- Participants' hearing will be tested (either with the BAHD, the CROS, or without wearing any device).
- Speech perception ability will be tested in quiet and in noise conditions (either while wearing the BAHD, the CROS, or no device).
- Participants will be asked to complete two standardized questionnaires on the perceived benefits that the BAHD or the CROS provides.
In addition, participants will be asked to fill out a short diary form every day, for a two-week period, to report the situations in which they wore the device.

Revision Date Comment 1.1 21-NOV-2012 Updated Problem Description, Background, Problem Symptoms, and Workaround/Solution sections. 1.0 02-JUL-2012 Initial Public Release
Products Affected CAM - CTS-PHD1080P4XS1
The Cisco TelePresence PrecisionHD 4X Camera will not boot due to a corrupted software image on the camera.
The camera may fail to boot properly because the software checksum validation fails in the camera flash memory due to the Error Correcting Code (ECC) not operating properly. The failure can be seen on any CTS-PHD-1080P4XS1 camera, but becomes more prevalent in cameras manufactured from late 2011 and later (S/Ns A1AT40Dxxxxx) due to an updated NAND Flash memory version. Once in this failed boot state, rebooting the camera does not resolve the issue.
A camera that is in this failed boot state will show all of the following symptoms:
- LED located on the top of the camera is on solid orange even though camera is not in a call
- Camera does not respond to controls nor does it send video
- Codec command "xstatus camera" shows Connected status as FalseHere is an example of a camera in this failed boot state where the In Use LED is on solid orange though the camera is not in a call:
Proactively Preventing the Issue: Upgrade Codec Software
Cisco is recommending that customers upgrade all codecs with CTS-PHD-10804XS1 connected be upgraded to a release of software that contains the camera fix.
Upgrading the codec software to a release that contains the fix will cause the camera firmware to upgrade automatically and will prevent the camera from failing. The camera firmware will not be downgraded if the codec is downgraded. This means that it is possible to prevent this issue from happening by upgrading to a new software version, wait for the camera to finish upgrading firmware (approximately 8 minutes) and then downgrade to a lower version if required.
The issue has been fixed in camera firmware version 20011 and later. The camera firmware version installed in the camera can be seen in the camera ID as shown in "xstatus camera". The camera firmware with the fix for CSCua44699 is bundled with TC5.1.3 codec software (and later) released to CCO 6/29/12 and TC4.2.4 released to CCO 09/10/12.
Upgrading the cameras that are not exhibiting this issue is MANDATORY to prevent future failure.
Once the camera has been successfully upgraded, the camera firmware version can be verified with an admin shell command "xstatus camera". Here is an example output while running TC5.1.5 that has camera firmware version 20012 installed:
Similar camera software version output can be seen through the web UI by using this URL: http://IP_Address_of_the_codec/getxml?location=/Status/camera/SoftwareID
Fixing the Issue Once in the Failed Boot State:
If the camera is in the failed boot state (where the orange LED is on solid), the camera firmware must be reinstalled. A codec software upgrade alone will not recover a camera in the failed boot state.
Starting with TC5.1.5, a recovery method for cameras in this failed boot state is can be run from the codec. This recovery method can be run remotely with the camera connected as normal to the codec. This new recovery method is initiated from the codec with the admin shell command "systemtools camerarescue".
The "systemtools camerarescue" recovery method will take about 10 minutes to complete. When complete, the codec and the camera should be up and operational.
Before the release of TC5.1.5 on cisco.com, access to this software can be arranged by contacting the TAC. Any issues with running this recovery procedure should also be worked through the TAC. See the TAC contact information below.
To follow the bug ID link below and see detailed bug information, you must be a registered customer and you must be logged in.

thanks for the advice! I am a bit iffy on active NC headphones though, b/c I already have the ANC-7 which sound solid when NC is turned on, but has occasional stutter/hissing.
I guess I am looking for specifically highly-regarded closed, portable basshead phones that I can try out & see. Sounds like the hifi-580, the pro700mk2, ultrasone pro 900 are legit, so i can looking for similar options or opinions/comparisons on these.
Money is actually not an issue, I can go from $100-$400 without a problem, but I guess I am iffy b/c I personally cannot hear the sonic upgrade on the more expensive headphones. I feel like the changes are a lot more subtle than I expected.
That's the thing about the UE6000, it's highly regarded with the ANC off, and it still meets the criteria you stated earlier. :)
Ultrasone's tend to be too bright for me, especially very much so for the PRO900 (I still think it's the brightest and harshest headphone I have ever touched; I can't stand listening to them for more than 2 minutes). The Pro 700 MKII is pretty much the exact opposite, dark, from what I've read. The HFI-580 is supposedly a similar headphone to the ATH-M50 based on the research I did here while searching for my first "hi-fi" headphone (it doesn't have a removable cable though).

Now that the WDFW has voted statewide wild release down, there seems to be more we can do while we wait for them to come to their senses. I fished the Hoh this past weekend (I think the regs say that it's all wild C&R, no bait above the Oxbow campground and then FF only inside the park?), and I personally witnessed the following regulations infractions: 1) Two people killed wild steelhead in front of my face well inside the wild C&R section. Both proclaimed that they did not know the regs but then kept fishing after we floated by. Who knows how many fish they killed before they were done. 2) Three people were lobbing eggs in the selective gear section. All three proclaimed they did not know the regs. 3) Two boats were pulling plugs inside the national park where it is ff only. When I have met wardens, I always come away with a positive impression. But let's be honest; they can't be anywhere, and if you believe these people at all, education seems to be a problem. So, as a concerned citizen, what can we do? Should we be helping with the "policing?" I know guides that call wardens on their cell phones when they see an infraction. Why aren't there more visible signs, announcements, etc. at major pulloffs like the mouth of the Sultan river boat launch? Should we be helping with that? Should we be handing out flyers? Using somebody's funds to send announcements to the list of people who have fishing licenses? What else can we do? I have seen occasional signs at places, but they are by no means ubiquitous. It seems like this is especially important when major changes happen, like the 12/1 wild C&R on the Puget Sound rivers, but even on the Hoh where the regs have been in place for a few years this is a problem.
There's no easy answer to preventing unethical or illegal activities in the field. Even if there was mandatory education or training required to obtain a license and even if every rule change was mailed to those holding licenses, there would still be a percentage of those skirting the regs. The Eyes In The Woods Program (http://www.eyesinthewoods.org/) is one possible option for anyone wanting to take an active role, however. Click on the link to "Training" and you'll see the next training session is March 2, 2002 in Lynwood. Granted this won't solve the problem, but its at least something we all can do to start. Greg
Why is it when people get their licenses,they seem to turn dumb at the rules of fishing. Each year when the new licenses come out I also pick up a copy of the regs and read them so I know what or where I am fishing. If everybody did that we would still have that problem. Because alot of people disreguard any rule or law that pertains to fishing. They seem to think that these laws don't pertain to them. I'll get off of my soap box now,thank's for listening. Jim S. :AA
I try to check out the WDFW's web site before I head out on a trip. But I find it confusing trying to find if something is open and to what. I think it would be helpful if they put the regulation book online in an "up to date" format rather than paging through the emergancy rule changes. I enjoy all types of fishing and shellfishing, and have caught myself fishing in areas I thought were open. Mailing everyone with changes would only increase the cost of our licenses and taxes. Posting at access is a good idea but I still wouldn't want to drive 100 miles only to find out I brought the wrong gear or it's closed.
This is another reason we need state wide wild steelhead release. Then nobody could claim ignorance about where they can or can't keep natives.
We have such a lack of enforcement due to budget restraints that it is easier for the WDFW to close rivers and lakes down than it is to try to patrol them. This means we will see less opportunity for catch and release and the state will justify closing down those fishing opportunities when poaching and law breaking are so blatent, Too bad.
He is what i would do. Create a bunch of flyers with the exact regulations printed on them. The WDFW will post these on a river when the regs change mid season but if they don't you could make your own. You could post them through your local fishing club or go guerilla and do it on your own (just make sure it isn't illegal to do so). I would include the following elements: Top of page "ATTENTION ANGLERS" Then rules heading " ALL WILD STEELHEAD MUST BE RELEASED" Then the rules taken directly from The WDFW web site including river name, dates, sections of the river where rules are in place etc. Then a picture drawing of a wild steelhead showing an intact adipose fin so people can identify the fish (should be able to find on WDFW website or in the regs book) Then a phone number to report poachers . Finally you could put the logo of your fishing club or if you wanted to be realy sneaky put the WDFW logo on it (make sure this is legal to use) Put the flyers in ziplock freezer bags to keep dry and staple to trees near pull outs and popular fishing spots.
It has always amazed me that as I've fished many of the Selective and C&R waters in this state there isn't more obvious notification of the specific rules for that body of water. Two examples I can think of are Lone and Merrill. Every year I see people not playing by the rules at these lakes and when questioned they plead ignorance. If the state would simply post notification at the boat launch regarding the special regs. and a "Please consult Regulation Pamplet", I think some of the violators would be deterred. I know I can help out by informing the evil doers that they are breaking the rules, but I flyfish for relaxation and having to always be policeman on the water takes some of that away. I just think the state could do a little more.
Maybe the State F&W should find out how they do it in other states. I know when I fish in Montana and a river has "special" regs they are posted at all the put in/pull outs. Bull trout pictures are posted all over rivers to let people know they must release all bull trout and I've seen signs/notices regarding C&R on cuts over there. This was one of my points on an earlier post regarding special regs for fly fishing only, catch and release and additional license fees to have more game wardens available to handle violators. Greg
The more I think about it the more I believe that we can't count on anyone but ourselves to do this kind of stuff. It's logical for WDFW to step up enforcement in special reg areas or to make their rules more accessible, but it doesn't happen where I fish. I also agree with prior posts that many people do know the regs and choose to break them, but there have to be some people (10%? 20%?) who just are unaware. Montana is definitely an example of a state that does far better on education than Washington does (at least where I've fished). The same was true in my previous life in New Hampshire; it seemed like every time I'd go fishing there would be new signage. Earlier in this thread someone said that policing takes some of the fun out of the day, but what happened to me on Sunday (watching two people bash wild, bright steelhead with rocks) that prompted this posting felt far worse in my heart.

Click here to add your company to the MSSC Veteran- Employer Career Connector!
MSSC certifications validate the core competencies of new-hires and can also be used to improve and sharpen the skills of existing employees to meet the changing demands of new technologies, new processes and the global market. Employers who have used MSSC as a hiring tool (added MSSC certifications to their hiring practices) have seen reduced turnover, improved teamwork and lower recruitment costs. Employers that use MSSC to amplify the training of existing employees can expect a more agile and productive workforce with a broader understanding of manufacturing and logistics.
"Bilstein was one of the early advocates of the MSSC CPT certification because these candidates are familiar with key manufacturing concepts like safety and quality before they walk through our door. That allows them to be more productive sooner than individuals who do not have the CPT. Our confidence in the CPT certification is such that we offer a premium-starting wage for new employees who have that certification. I encourage all manufacturers to learn about the MSSC CPT and consider how it might reduce your recruiting and turnover costs."
Tom Barnes, HR Manager for ThyssenKrupp Bilstein, explains the value of MSSC to ThyssenKrupp Bilstein.
"With CLT certified workers, we've seen significant decrease in turnover and increased worker engagement in process improvements."
Renae Reed, Genco ATC

Christmas merchandise crowds the aisles at all the shops while festive yuletide decorations line the streets. It's Christmas, or is it? Every year it gets earlier. Had I wanted to buy ornaments or even a plastic Christmas tree I could have done so before Halloween. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of Christmas but when it starts two months early that's just overkill. So, in honor of the autumn season and that seemingly forgotten holiday called Thanksgiving here are some suggestions as to how to get out and enjoy the pre- Christmas season.

I'm looking for some rigids for a spare frame I'm building up, I've seen these on Ebay. Showing over 100 sold, wondered if anyone here has got a pair? Seem good value for money!

Ebay rigid forks
Posted 4 years ago #
I have been looking at them too ,did a search for 'Mosso' forks on the googlenator and the response seems to be that they are pretty stiff/rigid which is good for steering precision but can be a little harsh ride wise.
I just got some 2nd Hand Salsa Cromoto's off evilbay,not as light as the Mosso forks but supposed to ride nice.

Yeah I've got some I use them on the commuter bike

True Blood's Joe Manganiello, one of the 25 Fittest Men in the World
Let's get the week started off with some gratuitous muscle-gazing (see, Monday's aren't all bad!)…
Everyone's favorite True Blood werewolf (Joe Manganiello, of course!) will soon be celebrated as one of the Top 25 Fittest Men in the World by Men's Fitness magazine. Being uber-fit is nearly a requirement of landing a part on True Blood lately, considering just about every major cast member has some sort of revealing scene, but Joe really took it to the next level when he started buffing up for the part last year. He works out twice a day at least 3 days a week, then does other cardio and strength-building workouts on three additional days. Two workouts a day… whew, that's dedication to your physique! And we appreciate it, yes we do. Thank you Joe! <3
Also recognized, are Kellan Lutz (The Twilight Saga's Emmett Cullen)…
Jason Momoa (the new Conan, also Khal Drogo from Game of Thrones & Ronin Dex from Stargate: Atlantis)…
Chris Evans (the new Captain America & Johnny Storm from The Fantastic Four)…
Also rumored to be on the list is Chris Pine, Captain James T. Kirk in the revitalized new Star Trek franchise. Check out the June/July of Men's Fitness for the complete list of the World's 25 Fittest Men in 2011, due out on newstands on May 9th. Until then, enjoy your eye candy! *grin*

A Sequential Game Model Of Sports Championship Series: Theory And Estimation
Using data from professional baseball, basketball, and hockey, we estimate the parameters of a sequential game model of best-of-n championship series controlling for measured and unmeasured differences in team strength and bootstrapping the maximum-likelihood estimates to improve their small sample properties. We find negligible strategic effects in all three sports: teams play as well as possible in each game regardless of the game's importance in the series. We also estimate negligible unobserved heterogeneity after controlling for regular season records and past appearance in the championship series: Teams are estimated to be exactly as strong as they appear on paper. © 2000 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology

While we enjoyed "Pitch Perfect," for this writer the comedic highlight wasn't Rebel Wilson or Anna Kendrick, but Elizabeth Banks (who also produced the movie, fyi). Her small role alongside John Michael Higgins as a capella commentators provided some of the biggest belly laughs, and while we wait for someone to figure out that those two should lead their own movie together, we'll be content with the fact that Banks is getting a new comedy vehicle.
The actress will star in "Walk Of Shame," the latest from writer/director Steve Brill, whose credits include "Drillbit Taylor," "Without A Paddle" and "Little Nicky." Dodgy resume aside, the concept is promising, with Banks playing an LA news anchor who goes on a partying bender after losing an audition for her dream job, and wakes up in a stranger's bed without her money, car or any memory of what happened. Her agent then calls to tell her she actually did get the job, and Banks must take the walk of shame to retrace her steps and get ready to be on air at 5 PM. Ron Burgundy would approve.
This is the kind of open-ended thing that lends itself well to cameos and improv, we'd presume, so we'll be curious to see who else signs on. And we'll find out soon enough as shooting is slated to begin in January. [Variety]

First day in Fiji - Nadi
Trip Start
Mar 14, 2008
Trip End
Mar 30, 2008
Where I stayed
We flew with Air Pacific (Fijian Airline) and when we got at Brisbane Airport to check in there was a massive line even beyond the dedicated isles. The reason for this was that the plane was almost full but there were only 3 or 4 counters operating. It took about 45 mintues before enforcements from Qantas staff arrived. After about one and a half hours we finally checked in. It was all cool as we allowed plenty of time.
The flight was pretty good with some turbulence. The plane had no entertainment system except one screen for each section of the plane. But I have to admit that the staff on the plane were very friendly. Despite the bad reviews on Air Pacific food - I have to say that the food was pretty good.
We arrived to Nadi International Airport at around 17:00. As we got out of the plane the wave of the warm temperature put smiles on our faces. We had a free transfer to our hotel - Tanoa International Hotel. As we were arriving there we were surprised how nice the hotel was - we thaught we paid a relatively low price and didn't expect much. The room was great and the hotel had a nice swimming pool and an awesome food place.
The only thing that was annoying was the amount of mosquitos (for some reason Roxy was loved by mosquitos but they wouldn't touch me :-)).
We went to bed relatively early to get a god nights rest as tomorrow we leave for the Yasawa Islands.
The sleep was great except that some loud noise woke us up - after Roxy woke me up we established that it was the rain - really heavy rain... what kind of weather will we have on our holiday... The cyclone season doesn't really end until April!!!

: Rain Inside and Out by clyana

because nothing happens anymore. No Gongsau's, fewer throwdowns, half hearted investigations and to make matters worse you're STILL here.

Bullshido in green
Ashida Kim in red
Aikido in gold
George Dillman in blue
Meanwhile MMA (not shown; too big) goes up and up. The higher interest is in MMA, the lower the interest in Ashida Kim, etc falls. And BS.net tracks with Ashida Kim, not MMA.

Which coincides with the rise of Facebook. Meanwhile while other sites similar to ours have folded or almost completely dead, we're still going. Perspective, isn't it a bitch?

You just compared two completely different graphs of variables, dumbass.
MY graph is daily reach % in terms of the entire internet. This is defined as "Estimated percentage of global internet users who visit bullshido.net"
YOUR graph is merely peak search volume.
Did you actually read my chart? It shows how Bullshido has stayed consistent while Sherdog has dropped like a rock.Last edited by W. Rabbit; 1/10/2013 12:05pm at .

The miracle that is Google Trends indicates that BSDO has a considerably lesser following than Sherdog across the 2000-2012 timeline.
GraphBuzz seems to concur:
Same with StatsAholic:
Not that it matters, really. It's a niche site, and it caters well to a specific audience (i.e. people who punch other people, in front of people.) And trollshido should have it's own Google Analytics stats. I imagine the traffic there considerably higher than the more serious forum sections. My new years resolution: less trolling, moar kettlebell.

Sad Sad Sad day in our house... Today we loose one of the puppies. I hate it. But we can't keep them all. Can We? No of course not. Right? Man I hate this. But I know that the "new family" is going to love her. Sigh...
Ok it is Friday and that is Just Magnolias and Hanglars day, and this weeks challenge is Buttons Bows and Blooms. Love the three together! I dug though my Tilda's and found a girlie girl that I haven't used in a while. And of course I wanted her to have some blooms in her hands for the challenge.
Isn't she pretty?
Tilda is colored with copics. But then for that shimmer look I painted over her dress, shoes and hat with shimmerz. Love that stuff. I love how real it makes the veil look.
Then I went to work on my card. For the patter papers I used My Minds Eye Lost and Found Madison Avenue collection. Really love all of the Lost and Found papers!
I punched a border twice with Martha Stewart's Cherry Blossom border punch. Then I wrapped with a pink satin dotted ribbon, with a "bow" - that is one. The I added three mulberry flowers above the Papertrey Ink Happy Birthday sentiment - "bloom" - that is two then I needed buttons. I tried them everywhere, every size and color. NOTHING worked. So I just gave up and just used three tiny buttons on the bottom - ok... "buttons" that was three. It needed more, so I went ahead and added a bit of bling - adhesive pink rhinestones on all the cherry blossoms!
Make sure to visit Just Magnolias and Hanglars and see all the DT's beautiful cards - then join us for a chance at another great prize this week!
Now.. I am going to go and love on a certain puppy - don't have much longer with Sweetie - so I want to cuddle as long as I can. I am thinking it is going to be a long weekend with the other puppy too... once one is gone, that other one is going to be really lonely in the puppy pen. I think I am going to have to let her out to be with her Mom, Dad and older Sister more. Floors clean up right?
Have a wonderful Friday!
HUGS and-

Picture quality
The number (in millions) of light-sensitive picture elements known as pixels actually used by the camera's image sensor (CCD) to record light, and which are reflected to the final number of recorded pixels stored on the memory card.
Sensor type*
A sensor is a convertor than measures a physical quality (light, temperature etc.) and displays this electronically on a device.
Supported aspect ratios
The aspect ratio is the ratio of the width of an image to its height. The supported aspect ratios are the aspect ratios that can be shown by the device.
Lens system
Optical zoom*
Indicates the optical zoom capacity, which is the number of times that the picture can be enlarged with the optics of the camera.
Digital zoom*
Indicates the digital zoom capacity, the number of times that the picture is enlarged thanks to digital technology.
Focal length range (f-f)
Measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light. For an optical system in air, it is the distance over which initially collimated rays are brought to a focus. A system with a shorter focal length has greater optical power than one with a long focal length; that is, it bends the rays more strongly, bringing them to a focus in a shorter distance.For an optical system in air, the effective focal length (f and f′) gives the distance from the front and rear principal planes (H and H′) to the corresponding focal points (F and F′).
Combined zoom
Flash modes*
Different modes for a camera flash which are manually/automatically activated e.g. auto-flash mode, flash on with red eye reduction.
Auto, Manual, Red-eye reduction
Compatible memory cards*

Display resolution (numeric)
Total number of pixels that display has.
115.000 pixels
Ports & interfaces
PictBridge is an industry standard introduced in 2003 from the Camera & Imaging Products Association (CIPA) for direct printing. It allows images to be printed directly from digital cameras to a printer, without having to connect the camera to a computer using common connectivity like USB or Bluetooth.
Scene modes*
Scenery mode', 'Portrait mode' and other modes which are manually/automatically activated on a camera and change the settings (e.g. exposure time) accordingly.
Close-up (macro), Landscape, Night, Night portrait, Portrait, Sports
Self-timer delay*
Duration of self-timer, that's a camera device that gives a delay between pressing the shutter release and the shutter's firing. It is most commonly used to let photographers to take a photo of themselves (often with the family), hence the name.

Camera focusing range
Built-in flash
The product has an internal flash. A flash produces a brief very bright light, used for taking photographs in poor light.
Camera CCD sensor
CCD (Charged Coupled Device): A silicone chip comprised of millions of tiny, square light-gathering diodes called Picture Elements, or pixels, laid out in a checkerboard pattern. This is the "film" of a digital camera. The light data gathered from these tiny pixels needs to be "processed" by the camera's image processor into Recorded Pixels. \n\n\n\nSuper CCD: A proprietary CCD system, produced by Fujifilm, that utilizes larger, octagonal-shaped, light-gathering diodes called Picture Elements, or pixels, that are laid out in a saw-tooth pattern. Super CCDs can capture more light information than ordinary CCDs; the extra information is used by the camera's image processor to improve color accuracy and ISO Speed. \n\n\n\n Super CCD HR (High Resolution): Is capable of nearly doubling the Number of Effective Pixels that are processed and stored as additional detail in the Recorded Pixel file. \n\n\n\n Super CCD SR (Sensitivity and Range): Uses a combination of small and large octagonal-shaped pixels to further enhance color accuracy, while improving detail in the areas of shadows and highlights, much like traditional film

Those sneaky file searchers over at the 2K Games forums have uncovered a few text strings embedded in the PC version of BioShock's game code which hint at a new set of plasmids coming our way. After looking through the game's install files for a reference to a PC game editor, forum member Zemlor stumbled across a reference to a piece of content called "PlasmidPack1". The description for the content reads; "Having concluded clinical trials on four new Genetic Improvements, Ryan Industries is proud to announce the general release of their newest products:" and lists four new plasmids including Machine Buster, Vending Expert, Sonic Boom and Eve Savor. Not only that, but the game code also lists various unused plasmid types and descriptions. Exciting, no?
But don't get overly pumped just yet, because it seems that the new plasmid content needs to be activated via some sort of online key. Also, this code was found on the PC version and could simply be "junk code". Though, we're the gambling types and are willing to bet that new plasmids will be hitting the XBLM in the near future and (fingers crossed) for free. Because if we have to pay for them and they are already on the BioShock game disc awaiting an online "activation code" to unlock, then we'll be a few bitter fanboys. Not allowing us to use certain content that's already on the disc for the sole reason of charging us down the road makes us furious. Don't do it 2K ... don't do it.
[Thanks, Matt]

Risotto Daring Cooks
This was not my favorite recipe and I wouldn't post it except it is part of the Daring Cook's challenge. Eleanor and Jess choose risotto with a homemade stock for this month's challenge.
We enjoy risotto. For this challenge I thought that I would try something that I had never tried. I have never made my own beef broth. I decided to make some beef broth out of shanks, onion, red wine and water. Then I chose a recipe that required beef broth from Marcella Hazan's Marcella Cucina. Risotto with Sausages and Cranberry Beans.
It was a simple recipe with cranberries beans, pork sausage, onions, beef broth and risotto.
Hazan says that the final step of risotto is the mantecare. It means to work butter or cream into what you are cooking. It is what gives the risotto some of its creamy consistency.
The mantecare for this recipe included better and parmigiano-reggiano cheese. The risotto was ok, I have had rice and beans made with white rice that I enjoyed more. The beans are mashed against the edge of the pot to add some creamy consistency.
I have some risotto recipes that I enjoy more.
6 comments:
Sorry to hear it wasn't the best risotto you have ever had!! I wonder are cranberry beans the same as red kidney beans they sure look like it that is what they are called in Australia. Thank you for the information about the mantecare. The final result looks very intriguing. Cheers from Audax in Sydney Australia.
