Moog Opus-3
The Opus-3 is one great little synth. It was designed by Herbert A. Deutsch from Hofstra University who originally nudged Dr. Robert Moog into building synthesizers and later served as director of sales & marketing for Moog Music. Herb also wrote the owner's manual. The sounds are broken up into 3 categories: Strings, Brass and Organ. Strings and Brass have their own separate VCF (filter) sections, the Organ section has none. The Opus-3 also has 2 sound outputs for an early stereo effect with panning! It's a colorful little synth with clearly laid out sliders and is fairly straight forward. It has classic analog Moog sound quality and is a great source of some string and lower octave techno-organ sounds. It is used by Stereolab, Kraftwerk, Zonetech, 808 State and The Rentals.

About OGal
Love life! Love to travel. Am a very involved volunteer in a non profit agency. Empty nester. Son and hubby both pilots.
By: OGal, 12:45 PM GMT on February 29, 2012
I promise I will answer with my thoughts too. This is another case where there are lot of questions and not a lot of answers. This case takes place in Sanford, Fl about fifteen minutes from my house. This case will be tried in Seminole County, my county. The Gran Jury is made up of folks from right here. It is a jury that has already been seated before Trayvon was killed.
First let me tell you Sanford is not a horrible town. It is a small town located on Lake Monroe. It has a downtown that has finally started to thrive with lots of art galleries and terrific antique shops. The town is sprinkled with beautiful old homes that date back to when Sanford was the celery capitol of Florida.
Sanford has an International Airport and is thrilled to have many tour groups from the UK. Larry Dale, President of the airport has done an excellent job of bringing in flights from all over the US. People laughed at him and he proved them wrong. Aerosim Flight School is there training pilots from all over the world to go to the airlines. This is where my son trained when Aerosim was called, Delta Connection.
What happened to Trayvon was horrible but lets not blame an entire town. I have worked with the police department through the supervised visitation center. I never once saw any indication of racism. Is there some in the police department maybe so. Once again don't blame the entire department.
This case will get sorted out but it will take time. Cool heads need to prevail.

Europeans are digging out from heavy snow after a week of extreme cold gripped large parts of the continent. The cold snap is the harshest to hit Europe in decades. Power outages and traffic problems created chaos throughout the region as roads were blocked and airports were shut down. Dangerous conditions led some countries to close schools for a week.
As of Wednesday, at least 400 people across Europe had died as a result of the bitter temperatures. Thousands have been hospitalized for frostbite and hypothermia. Frostbite occurs when tissues in the body literally freeze. Hypothermia happens when the body loses heat and falls to an abnormally low temperature. Both are serious medical conditions.
The Big Chill
Several countries have declared a state of emergency. In Ukraine, which has been hit the hardest, temperatures dipped to as low as -33°F. Temperatures in Rome, Italy, fell below the freezing mark as rare snowfall blanketed the capital city over the weekend. The last time the Mediterranean country saw snow like this was in 1986.
In Eastern Europe, avalanches trapped thousands of people in remote mountain villages. Authorities in Bosnia were using helicopters to deliver food and evacuate the sick. Snowed-in roads are complicating relief efforts. "There are several small hamlets with children and elderly people—and we're not able to help them," said Radovan Palavstra, mayor of the city of East Mostar, in Bosnia. Emergency officials say they must clear 12 miles of road before they can get to the area.
Ice Capades
While the situation remains serious in many parts of Europe, at least one country is hoping the wintry weather will last a little longer. In the Netherlands, officials are preparing for the country's legendary "11 Cities Tour." The 125-mile ice-skating marathon is held along a network of frozen canals that connects 11 towns and cities in the Netherlands' Friesland province.
If the weather holds up, it would be the first time in 15 years that the race could be staged. The ice along the entire route must be six inches thick in order for the event to happen. Up to 2 million spectators are expected to line up along the frozen waterways to cheer on the race's 16,000 competitors.
On Wednesday, Dutch soldiers joined in on the preparations. They shoveled snow along an alternate route in case ice on part of the traditional track is too weak. This would only be the 16th time the event has taken place since the first race in 1909. Dutch General Hans van der Louw said his troops were happy to lend a hand. "We want to do our bit for this national party," he said.

Reviews of this property
Perfect place for a room in NYC midtown. The building is in a strategic position, the room is clean with a very large bed. The masters of the house are very friendly, nice and polite. They are always helpful if you need information about NYC. I'm very pleased for my room choice.
Lowest (?) rate for a private room.
Good location in Murray Hill! Walking distance from Grand Central, UN etc. and 5 min to the East River Bikeway, excellent for running.
Lovely, clean room on top floor (5.) with good mattress and bed.
"use whole apt" is hardly possible 'cause the owners are permanently present
and very keen with their rules. But after some days I knew how to enjoy the place. Them crossing my room to the shared bathroom is special!! Even though they are very mindful and discrete.
One time the lady prepared an eggbread for me, what I appreciated a lot.
Michael has many useful advices for travel and sights of NYC.
From the moment I arrived at the Manhattan accommodation, I felt welcome and secure, during the period of my stay, I was able to achieve many of my goals, thanks to the wise guidance of my Hosts, the accommodation is ideally situated very close to all the sights of importance.
The hosts were hospitable and friendly, the place was clean, I had access to the fridge and kitchen within reasonable limits.
My stay was very enjoyable, a big Thank You to my hosts!
The apartment is exactly in a heart of Manhattan. It's very close to Subway (Grand Central) from where you can go everywhere. Everything what is written about the apartment is real so you can expect exactly what the host wrote about it (it is small but it's Manhattan!, it's close to Central Park and it's really QUIET which means you do not hear a lot of noise from the streets) - the room it's good for 1 person (for 2 could be bit small, but I was out all days - just coming back for the night so it was not a problem for me). Both (Michael & his wife) are very friendly and keen to help (in case you need an advice where/how to go).
Apartment ideally located for exploring New York, owners are discreet, very friendly and give great conseils.je recommend it .merci between them.
Appartement idéalement situé pour la découverte de New York,les propriétaires sont discrets ,très sympas et donnent de très bons conseils.je le recommande sans hésitation .merci à eux deux.
Really nice and helpful hosts! The apartment is very clean and comfortable and the two hosts are as "discrete" as described in the announcement. The location is great and the hosts will give you helpful information about public transport, sightseeing, shopping and whatever you need to know!
Definitely recommendable!
The place was fantastic. Michael is a great person and take care of me as my father. 10 points for the department and 10 for Michael. Very very recommended for everyone
My girlfriend and I stayed here for 3 nights in this one bed-room apartment. Overall, my stay was very pleasant and happy. The apartment is owned by an elderly couple and they were extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming. I'd recommend everyone to stay here if you are planning to go holidays here.
Here are some of the pros and cons of the room in my opinion:
- good location (2 mins walk from Shake Shack)
- price (extremely cheap with the location)
- very friendly and welcoming hosts
- very clean, cosy and organized (most important In my opinion)
- quiet apartment
- basic necessities are provided (towels, shampoos etc)
- have to share bathroom with the host (it was no hassle at all. we weren't disturbed in any way and the hosts rarely use the restrooms. and yes, this means the host are able to access to your room but that was not a problem for us at all. everything was still at the same place or you can bring your valuables out with you)
- the unit is on 5 floors and there is no elevators
- room is small (understandable because its in manhattan and the price you paid for)
We had a wonderful experience. The apartment is very nice and very central with all amenities nearby. Michael was the perfect host and very friendly. We highly recommend this place to a good holiday.
Nous avons passé un séjour formidable. L'appartement est très agréable et très central avec toutes les commodités dans les alentours. Michael était un hôte parfait et très gentil. Nous recommandons vivement cet endroit pour y passer de bonnes vacances.
We spent during the festive season (2013) 9 days in NY and can respect the location and the apartment had nothing but positive.
Everything is very clean and well maintained, and the settlement with the landlord worked perfectly.
Wir haben in der Vorweihnachtszeit (2013) 9 Tage in NY verbracht und können bzgl. der Lage und dem Appartment nur Positives berichten.
Alles ist sehr sauber und gepflegt, auch die Abwicklung mit dem Vermieter hat bestens funktioniert.
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

Long time no diary...
Found a job in the meantime which is fun to do but keeps me from hacking on the real projects like GIMP, GIMP FreeType and the GNU FontManager. Most certainly the job situation will change soon, but I fear it won't make that situation better. Well, that's life, I suppose.
Tonight I will leave for this years Summer Jam Festival and I'm really looking forward to it. Actually I should be at LinuxTag in Stuttgart where the new edition of my german Gimp reference will be presented, but I've always been to the Summer Jam during the last eight years and I'm trying not to break with this tradition. Hopefully the weather will be good, but we'll have fun anyway.

Fort Calhoun nuclear plant, June 2011 by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
The likelihood was very low that an earthquake followed by a tsunami would destroy all four nuclear reactors at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, but in March 2011, that's what happened, and the accident has yet to be contained.
Similarly, the likelihood may be low that an upstream dam will fail, unleashing a flood that will turn any of 34 vulnerable nuclear plants into an American Fukushima. But knowing that unlikely events sometimes happen nevertheless, the nuclear industry continues to answer the question of how much safety is enough by seeking to suppress or minimize what the public knows about the danger.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has known at least since 1996 that flooding danger from upstream dam failure was a more serious threat than the agency would publicly admit. The NRC failed from 1996 until 2011 to assess the threat even internally. In July 2011, the NRC staff completed a report finding "that external flooding due to upstream dam failure poses a larger than expected risk to plants and public safety" [emphasis added] but the NRC did not make the 41-page report public.
Instead, the agency made much of another report, issued July 12, 2011 -- "Recommendations for Enhancing Reactor Safety in the 21st Century," sub-titled "The Near-Term Task Force Review of Insights from the Fukushima Dai-Ichi Accident." Hardly four months since the continuing accident began in Japan, the premature report had little to say about reactor flooding as a result of upstream dam failure, although an NRC news release in March 2012 would try to suggest otherwise.
Censored Report May Be Crime by NRC
That 2012 news release accompanied a highly redacted version of the July 2011 report that had recommended a more formal investigation of the unexpectedly higher risks of upstream dam failure to nuclear plants and the public. In its release, the NRC said it had "started a formal evaluation of potential generic safety implications for dam failures upstream" including "the effects of upstream dam failure on independent spent fuel storage installations."
Six months later, in September 2012, The NRC's effort at bland public relations went controversial, when the report's lead author made a criminal complaint to the NRC's Inspector General, alleging "Concealment of Significant Nuclear Safety Information by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission." In a letter dated September 14 and made public the same day, Richard Perkins, an engineer in the NRC's Division of Risk Analysis, wrote Inspector General Hubert Bell, describing it as "a violation of law" that the Commission:
has intentionally mischaracterized relevant and noteworthy safety information as sensitive, security information in an effort to conceal the information from the public. This action occurred in anticipation of, in preparation for, and as part of the NRC's response to a Freedom of Information Act request for information concerning the generic issue investigation on Flooding of u.s. Nuclear Power Plants Following Upstream Dam Failure ".
Portions of the publically released version of this report are redacted citing security sensitivities, however, the redacted information is of a general descriptive nature or is strictly relevant to the safety of U.S. nuclear power plants, plant personnel, and members of the public. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has engaged in an effort to mischaracterize the information as security sensitive in order to justify withholding it from public release using certain exemptions specified in the Freedom of Information Act. "
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff may be motivated to prevent the disclosure of this safety information to the public because it will embarrass the agency. The redacted information includes discussion of, and excerpts from, NRC official agency records that show the NRC has been in possession of relevant, notable, and derogatory safety information for an extended period but failed to properly act on it.
Concurrently, the NRC concealed the information from the public.

It's raining. Oh what a monday :) I'm actually on a weirdly good spirits today. Why? No idea!! I feel like someone has slipped me a happy pill. I'm sitting here in front of my laptop, near a huge window, watching as the rain pours down. It looks gray and cold outside and all I can think of is "haha, I just went for a 1-hour walk and it didn't rain then!" I'm also giggling at myself because I am in the process of adding all 3 of the Twilight movies on my external hard drive. YES! I find this (and myself) ridiculously amusing. (running out of "joker" adjectives here, soon.. help!)
So today I woke up early and went to do some "neccecities shopping". School is starting again next week and I needed to stock up some specific things that might be difficult to find from a normal grocery store (when I don't have the time to go for a hunt for a certain prouct at a certain mall, you know). Then the rest of the day I've just been exersizing, crafting and listening to music (and trying to avoid eating junk!).
Though. I feel like I need a "eating junk & watching junk" day. So.. as long as I don't get an invite to work in the next couple of hours.. tomorrow will be another "day off" AND.. my (giggling here again folks) idiotically brilliant plan is to fetch me some McNuggets and have a Twilight movie marathon. What a high-quality day it's going to be food and entertainment wise :D! (are you sensing the irony in my voice?)
Ok. Now I'm starting to annoy myself. Stop smiling! Stop finding everything hilarious! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU TODAY? Please someone get me out of this mood and get me back to that "the glass is half empty" -vibe that I'm so used to.
What's your mood at the moment?
Your favorite movie of the 3 Twilight movies (if any)?
ps. Yum, yum, yum. OK BYE!

UTSA hosts Ph.D. student recruitment event
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(April 11, 2007)--The UTSA College of Sciences and the UTSA Graduate School hosted the inaugural Doctoral Student Recruitment Weekend March 9-10 in the Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering Building on the 1604 Campus.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society

"A key part of the college and its resources is to focus on student success," said George Perry, dean of the UTSA College of Sciences and recruitment weekend originator. "Seventy-five percent of the university's external research funding comes from the College of Sciences, and most of that research comes in the context of student education and involvement."
At the weekend event, more than 30 doctoral degree program applicants viewed laboratory facilities and attended presentations, and then were taken for a tour of San Antonio.
"I want to be a professor, so there is a great opportunity here for teaching," said Tricia Van Laar, a prospective cell and molecular biology student from Stockton, Calif. "There are also so many diverse faculty research interests that I think UTSA would be a fantastic opportunity for me."
George Negrete, professor of chemistry and diversity officer for the College of Sciences, praised the involvement and participation of the seven departments in the college: biology, chemistry, computer science, earth and environmental science, mathematics, and physics and astronomy.
"We have a lot of doctoral programs, and we have to work on attracting more high-quality students to them because they will be the ones conducting the research for faculty in those departments," said Negrete. "Our goal is to compete with the major institutions in attracting these high-quality scholars."

There's a metallic patch on one of the walls in the break area at Sanzaru Games on which alphabet fridge magnets hold in place fan drawings and letters. "Dear Sanzaru," reads one hand-written letter. "I heard you are working on Sly Cooper Thievies (sic) in Time. Thats (sic) great! I think you can do better than Sucker Punch, but here are some suggestions:..."
"All that does is make me look up and see all these fans who are super excited about it," begins Caley Roberts, producer for Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time. "There's times, man, when you're sitting in this cube and you've been here for 20 hours and you're just, like, 'I just wanna get this level done,' and you've stopped caring so much about what you're doing because you're tired and you're supposed to be already done. And you can look over, and the stuff you're working on translates directly into joy for kids, and it's like, 'Damn, that feels really good'."
But there was a time not so long ago when Sanzaru staffers were among those fans who had an idea or two about where they'd like to take the franchise. The Foster City-based developer (just outside of San Francisco) has taken the reins of the franchise from Sucker Punch Productions, which turned its attention to InFamous and InFamous 2. Sanzaru's first assignment was The Sly Collection; an HD re-release of the franchise's three PlayStation 2 games. A hidden, teaser-trailer Easter egg contained within hinted at a new, fully fledged Sly Cooper game. The resulting internet reaction proved definitively that fans are still hungry for more Sly Cooper, even some six years since the last entry in the series.
The first game in the series to be developed for the PlayStation 3, Thieves in Time continues the adventures of the raccoon descended from a long line of master thieves. Just as importantly, it retains the classic gameplay that has enthralled gamers of all inclinations with its unique blend of action-adventure, platforming and "light stealth" elements.
"What I mean by light stealth is you're very aware of where you can get caught and where you cannot," explains Roberts as he talks a handful of journalists through a demo level. In this section, players assume the role of Sly's feudal-Japanese ninja ancestor, Rioichi, and must evade the light beams from lanterns held by large, patrolling guards. "Lighted area, I'm in trouble. Unlighted area, I won't be seen. So we're not gonna punish you like they would in a Metal Gear where, 'Oh my God, my left finger was outside a tank I was underneath - now there's 42 guards coming after me'."
Rioichi can also make use of the precision, spire-jumping ability that Sly learned in the very first game. He can leap from vantage point to vantage point - sometimes up to two or three times as far as other characters - but must time his leaps in order to avoid moving security lasers.
Although Rioichi is playable, it's understood that most of the action will revolve around Sly himself. In recognition of player response to the introduction of multiple playable characters in the third Sly Cooper installment, the number has reportedly been scaled right back for Thieves in Time. Sanzaru learned that most players simply wanted to play as their beloved Sly. But in order to maintain variety, Sly can now make use of different suits that grant him special abilities. Another demo level sees Sly don a Robin Hood-esque archer's outfit, which enables him to fire arrows with a rope tied to one end. Upon firing, the player controls the arrow's trajectory from a first-person camera perspective in a bid to hit a bullseye target. This then creates a tightrope that allows Sly to reach previously inaccessible areas, although he'll need to avoid scorching flames as he attempts to do so.
As he uncovers these suits throughout his adventure, Sly can reach new areas in the wider, open-world "hub" areas. The new abilities don't constitute a free pass through obstacles, though; patience and timing are still mandatory for successful negotiation.
Thieves in Time marks the first new Sly Cooper game to appear on the PlayStation 3 and, thus, presents a new opportunity to leverage the extra horsepower on offer to the series. But Sanzaru is the first to admit that it hasn't tinkered dramatically with the core gameplay style established by Sucker Punch and adored by many.
"The gameplay is, essentially, very similar to what people are used to, but it's just the visual level, the lighting, the character models, the amount of detail and the artwork is all tenfold what you'd see on the PS2," says Sanzaru CEO Glen Egan.
But, who knows? The developer just might have taken on-board some special advice offered by our young, letter-writing friend.
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time is slated for release later this year on PlayStation 3.

Another road game. Another undermanned Celtics [1] team. And another road loss.
The Celtics, playing without Paul Pierce [2] and Kevin Garnett [3], were overpowered by Nikola Pekovic, Dante Cunningham and the Minnesota Timberwolves [4] in a 110-100 loss at the Target Center Monday night. Pekovic took advantage of an undersized front court with a game-high 29 points while Cunningham added 19 points and five rebounds off the bench for Minnesota, which beat Boston for the first time in 12 meeting dating back to the pre-Garnett era in Boston.
The defenseless Celtics (38-36) fell for the second straight night and dropped their seventh in nine games. With Milwaukee beating Charlotte, the seventh-place Celtics are just 1.5 games ahead of the Bucks (one game in loss column) for eight-place. If Boston, which has eight games left, finishes eighth, they will face Miami in the first round.
What Monday's game lacked in star power it made up for in offense from unexpected places.
The Celtics were without Garnett (left foot) and Pierce (personal reasons) while the Timberwolves were still without U.S. Olympic champion Kevin Love [5] (broken hand).
The Timberwolves (27-46) turned to Pekovic and he responded with a huge opening quarter. The 27-year-old native of Montenegro scored 15 points as Minnesota dominated the paint and took a 27-25 lead after 12 minutes.
Since acquiring Garnett – the most accomplished player in Timberwolves history – after the 2006-07 season, the Celtics were 10-0 against Minnesota. Overall, the Celtics had won 11 straight against Minnesota dating back to Boston's last loss, 109-107, on Feb. 11, 2007 in Minnesota.
Adding to Boston's misery on the inside, big men Shav Randolph and Chris Wilcox [6] each picked up three personal fouls. Courtney Lee's three with 3:15 left in the second quarter tied the game, 45-45. But the Timberwolves came back with the next four points before Avery Bradley [7] connected on a jumper as the game kept a quick tempo leading up to halftime. Bradley's hit 6-of-8 in the first half and single-handedly kept Boston within range with 15 first half points. Bradley led the Celtics with 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting.
Boston was manhandled in the paint in the first half. Pekovic scored 21 points in the first half, part of an effort that had Minnesota outscoring getting outscored 34-18 and allowing Minnesota to grab a 57-52 halftime lead.
The Timberwolves went on a 10-4 run midway thought the third to open their biggest lead, 80-66, before Jason Terry [8] responded with a long two-point jumper. Terrence Williams followed that up with a baseline three to cut Minnesota's lead down to nine, 80-71, with just over three minutes left in the third.
Randolph picked up his fifth foul seconds later but stayed in the game to give the Celtics some size in the paint. As the Celtics were making a run late in the third quarter, Jeff Green [9] came up limping, holding his left hip. Green, who played the entire first half and the first six minutes of the third quarter before finally coming out for a breather, took a knee from Pekovic to the left thigh/hip area. Green stayed in the game and was part of a 12-4 run that cut Minnesota's lead to six, 84-78, heading into the fourth. Green finished with just 10 points in 38 minutes.
With the Celtics defense forcing a near turnover, Derrick Williams [10] hit a three to open the fourth quarter and push Minnesota's lead back to nine.
Lee came in for Green with just over 10 minutes left as Celtics trainer Ed Lacerte tended to Green's left hip. The T-Wolves went on a 7-0 run midway through the fourth that was capped by an Alexey Shved three with 7:45 left to put Minnesota up, 96-82. The Celtics could get no closer than eight the rest of the way.
The Celtics are off Tuesday before hosting the Pistons on Wednesday night at TD Garden. For more, visit the Celtics team page at weei.com/celtics [11].

One More Reason to Follow the Mediterranean Diet
There's been a lot of news recently about the benefits of the Mediterranean Diet, but even we didn't know sticking to it could eliminate a hereditary risk of stroke.
This may be the final word on low-fat diets. More and more, research supports a tastier and healthier approach to eating: the Mediterranean diet. One of the latest studies comes from Spain, where researchers found that the menu — beans, dairy, seafood, minimally processed whole grains, healthy fats from olive oil and nuts, and an abundance of vegetables and fruits — can virtually eliminate an increased genetic risk of stroke.

Among people who have two copies of a particular "stroke gene," those who ate a low-fat diet had three times the usual risk of a stroke, while those who followed the Mediterranean plan had no higher odds than folks who didn't carry the problem gene. An extra payoff: People on flavor- and nutrient-rich diets like the Mediterranean one have an easier time controlling their weight than low-fat eaters, studies suggest.

Peter Quinn was predictably outed as someone with a secret and untrustworthy. Estes pigeonholed him into this project as a contingency, and Estes "wants to kill terrorists" by any means necessary. He's essentially playing his Walden card with these hardline decisions.
I'm convinced Chris is a inside joke among the writers and producers to troll us
There is a mole. The razor blade, Roya's contact inside, etc. However, I don't think the producers really want to make the mole part of the storyline (at least not yet).
a known terrorist contact
Later in the episode, he is seen getting on a bus to meet with Dar Adul (F. Murray Abraham), a well-known CIA intelligence operative
Why would Peter X surreptitiously go meet a known terrorist contact?
its been so long since theyve pushed the mole angle that it really is seeming to just be a matter of an extra layer of suspense, not actually a primary storyline.
First thanks everyone for the recommendation to watch
second do they explain why/how Tom Walker was turned?
He didn't meet with a known terrorist contact. He met with a guy named Dar Adul, who is apparently the head of the CIA Black Ops division. Peter X is one of his agents.
Saul said that he had only met Dar Adul once and that, at that time, he was running company operations into Somalia that those within the CIA didn't even like to talk about.
This still opens up a whole new can of beans
Estes is working as a quasi double agent to further some unknown plan.
I think Estes is working an angle to manipulate the situations and use Brody for the CIA's gain. That is how Roya knew the combination on Estes safe, what was in it, Estes took the meeting with Brody in the room, Estes stayed out long enough for Brody to retrieve the data, Roya knew what they found in lebanon and knew that the tailor in gettysburg was in jeopardy, etc
Quinn was going to whack Brody after they confirmed Nasir was dead because Brody was no longer useful and he is a traitor

By NEMS Daily Journal
Mississippi's unusually high incidence of people ill with influenza-like-symptoms and diagnosed flu cases places it among the states closely tracked by the Centers for Disease Control to monitor the public's health, but CDC as well as Northeast Mississippi physicians want people to get flu shots even as the flu season advances.
The CDC's website reports that ILI, as it identifies flu-like symptoms, is highest in the Southeast and South Central U.S.
Mississippi is among 16 states and New York City reporting high ILI activity, reflecting what North Mississippi Medical Center physician Dr. Edward Hill and public health officials also have reported.
The high-activity states are Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia, a broad geographic spread.
CDC says "everyone who is at least 6 months of age should get a flu vaccine this season. It's especially important for some people to get vaccinated."
Those people include:
• People who are at high risk of developing serious complications like pneumonia if they get sick with the flu
• People who have certain medical conditions including asthma, diabetes, and chronic lung disease.
• Pregnant women.
• People 65 years and older.
• People who live with or care for others who are high risk of developing serious complications, including household contacts and caregivers of people with certain medical conditions including asthma, diabetes, and chronic lung disease.
CDC reports that Influenza seasons are unpredictable, and can begin as early as October and have substantial activity as late as May.
It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to provide protection against the flu.
CDC, which is the chief monitor of the nation's health, says flu vaccine is needed every year because flu viruses are constantly changing.
There's treatment for people who contract influenza: Certain anti-viral drugs can treat flu illness. They can make illness milder and help people feel better faster. They also can prevent serious flu-related complications, like pneumonia.
Personal responsibility plays a big role in preventing flu and controlling outbreaks.

I was told by my mentor 27 years ago if someone tells me that in order to train a peak that I would need a 2x4 my response would be "No, you just have to be smarter than the dog"!
Chesapeakes are self thinkers and guard dogs. Had to be....if not, they weren't around very long.
Not so much soft, you just need to be fair and to teach.
Like Tim Carrion says, you negotiate with a Chesapeake.
Also, socialize,socialize, socialize.....what time you put into your pup is what you will get out of your pup.( this is for all dogs, not just a peake)

So I've been gathering information on installing 1.8" PATA ZIF SSD's into the iPod classic. Really couldn't find much info on it at Head-Fi. So I'll post what I know. Need you all to help make this thread the best place for iPod Classic SSD mod info.
The iPod Classic runs off a 1.8" HDD. There are 4 iPod Classic models as follows:
-6th gen 80GB slim (1.8" PATA ZIF)
-6th gen 160GB fat (1.8" Ce-SATA)
-6.5 gen 120GB slim (1.8" PATA ZIF)
-7th gen 160GB slim (1.8" PATA ZIF)
The iPod Video runs off a 1.8" HDD. There are 4 iPod Video models as follows:
-5th gen 30GB slim (1.8" PATA ZIF)
-5th gen 60GB fat (1.8" PATA ZIF)
-5.5 gen 30GB slim (1.8" PATA ZIF)
-5.5 gen 80GB fat (1.8" PATA ZIF)
SSD mod will work in all the 5 and 5.5g iPods but if you get a fat iPod you will need to construct some type of foam frame to keep the SSD from loosely bouncing around. Slim one does not require that.
Notice the fat Classic has a different interface. I don't have any information on how to mod that one. It never interested me to find out but if you do have info for that you can share it.
All the slim iPod Classics are equally good to mod with an SSD but there is more information you need. Not just ANY 1.8" PATA ZIF SSD will work. You must carefully read the specs. For the SSD to work in the iPod the SSD must operate on 3.3 volts or less. I've basically found a few different voltages for 1.8" ZIF SSD's 5V and 3.3V and 3V. If it is a 5V version its not gonna even start up in the iPod at all.
3.3V and below low power SSD's
Super Talent ZT2 - Available in 32GB, 64GB, 128GB (256GB is 5V so it will not work) - 100% confirmation this drive works from ALO audio who makes an SSD iMod with this - 128GB can be had for 200 on eBay which is only 100 more than the 160GB slim HDD stock Toshiba
Renice K3vlar E - available in 30GB 60GB 120GB 240GB - All listed as 3.3V - No confirmation if working but there is no reason it should not work so a good choice to try out. As with all unproven start with the lowest cap and report findings.
Photofast Gmonster V4 - 32GB 64GB 128GB 256GB - All listed as 3.3V - No confirmation if working but there is no reason it should not work so a good choice to try out. As with all unproven start with the lowest cap and report findings.
Mach Xtreme MX Nano - 30GB 60GB 120GB 240GB - Listed as 3.3V or 5V - but they do advertise on the site that it can be used to upgrade an iPod Video which is 99% certain it will work in the iPod Classic slim.
Sabertooth ZF - 32GB 64GB 128GB 256GB - All listed as 3.3V - Untested; no reason it should not work.
Samsung 1.8" ZIF/PATA SLC 64GB SSD MCCOE64GEMPP - Listed as 3.3V - Site listed it as compatible with iPod - Don't know about other capacities but do note that this drive is SLC which offers much increased writing durability - 99% certain this drive will work
Took me a long time to search all these out. My goal is to have iPod Classic SSD modders to come here and make this the best source on the net for iPod SSD mod information. When I finally mod my SSD I will post pictures with a detailed guide step by step with a picture for each step unless someone beats me to it.
Any knowledge you have on this topic would be very appreciated posted here. I hope my hours and hours of research into this gives other new comers a nice head start into iPod Classic modding. Now I need you guys to really make this thread shine.

Recommended games in Puzzle
Evo Explores
Puzzle game Evo Explores is great for fans of Monument Valley
There have been a lot of games that have aped the style of Monument Valley, but not that have really gotten the idea and complexity of the game. That is until Evo Explores. Evo Explores really understand the game and does a great job of adding puzzle types to the original that it unashamedly takes inspiration from. It's so good that members of the Monument Valley team have remarked how impressed they are.
But beside that, the game can stand on its own as well. It's a great suspension of belief type puzzler with new and interesting mechanics and is just plain fun. The story that goes along is a little weak, but then again that's just a small part of the game. Well worth a download.

King Rabbit - Find Gold, Rescue Bunnies
Help King Rabbit in this cute puzzler
The follow up to the great Furdemption, King Rabbit has the same charm, but even better puzzles. Jump King Rabbit around to find a path to the jailed bunny citizen, avoiding traps and unlocking passages. With 120 levels, and presumably more on the way, this game is a pleasure to play.

The best game you aren't playing this week - Thumb.Run
I originally heard about Thumb.Run on Product Hunt, downloaded it and ignored it for a while. But then I decided to launch it and an hour goes by and my phone battery dies. Yeah, I like this game, so I think I should write about it.
Thumb.Run is a game where the players run around a course that looks like it's from a platformer game. Three laps against an opponent, fastest time wins. Seems simple, but it's deceptively difficult, maddeningly addictive, and loads of fun. There are new runners to unlock and power ups available along with multiple courses. It's $0.99 and worth a look if you like fun.

Freeverse heritage lives on in Fish!
Flick Fishing was one of the original great fishing arcade games on iOS. Well Freeverse got swallowed by ngmoco:), which was swallowed by DeNA. And DeNA really only hits our radar these days because they are making mobile games for Nintendo. So Freeverse is long gone, but not forgotten.
But, the heritage lives on in Fish! from Strange Flavour. If you liked Flick Fishing, or like fishing games, give this a shot. Also available for Apple TV, which is a bonus.

Train Conductor World: European Railway
Train Conductor World Leaves the Station Right on Schedule
The folks at Voxel Agents are a little obsessed with trains and with making really good train games. And that's OK. Or great if we are talking about Train Conductor World.
Starting out on a European map, the game combines multi-level train routing puzzles with quick thinking and collecting. Expanding the rail map leads to new cities and new types of puzzles to solve. It's a really well thought out puzzle game that turns the level map on it's ear by letting the player control where to go next by where they lay the train track pieces.
A great follow up to the Train Conductor series from Voxel Agents!

Clash Royale
Clash Royale Sees Worldwide Release (Finally!)
Clash Royale has been a major consumer of my time over the past couple months. I have been heralding it as the best game ever seen and now it's available for all to play.
This game could be described as MOBA-lite or Hearthstone-lite. But really it's neither. It's a mash up of so many genres that it's almost it's own. Great game mechanics that are a ton of fun and it's actually a game that take skill, timing, and planning.
In speaking to friends it seems like this game is really sticking with people that didn't really take to Clash of Clans. A dream come true for a company like Supercell. So if you did or didn't like Clash of Clans, give this a shot, it might be your next favorite game.

_PRISM - amazing first published game from Stugan Indie Academy
_PRISM is an impossible world that delivers itself with a series of amazingly beautiful geometric puzzles. Each puzzle introduces new mechanics and styles that must be adapted to in order to solve the puzzle.
While some of the puzzles can be a bit repetitive, they are all beautiful and a joy to complete.

When I tell the cashiers in the local Goodwill that I am buying the men's shirts to make quilts from, they get all excited and tell me to be sure to bring in the quilt to show them when I get it done!
However, once when I was making a braided rug from old wool coats, I was buying a nice wool coat at a garage sale and I told the woman what I was going to use it for. She was indignant and then refused to sell it to me. She said it was way too good a coat to be just cut up and put into a rug! I was so disappointed because it was a great coat to put in my rug, but it was an old lady's coat that no one else would have ever bought!

Tangy flavor make the chicken dish stand out, accompanied with tasty condiment.
Why it Works: Hitting the Sauce
Sauces are one of the cleverest inventions in the kitchen. Although many people think sauces are only for masking a poorly cooked dish, their true purpose is extending the flavor of your meat. When you fry meat and vegetables, especially when the pan is not nonstick, crispy bits of meat juices collect and glaze the bottom of the pan. This glaze, called the "fond" (French for bottom), contains concentrated meat flavor. To release the fond, deglaze the pan by adding liquid such as stock, wine or juice. This simple sauce can now be thickened, concentrated (by boiling) or enriched by adding butter.

Communities often use fireworks to celebrate important occasions. Fireworks certainly create awesome sights and sounds! Do you know what causes the brilliant lights and loud booms of a fireworks display? The answer is chemical changes.
What Is a Chemical Change?
A chemical change occurs whenever matter changes into an entirely different substance with different chemical properties. A chemical change is also called a chemical reaction. Many complex chemical changes occur to produce the explosions of fireworks. An example of a simpler chemical change is the burning of methane. Methane is the main component of natural gas, which is burned in many home furnaces. During burning, methane combines with oxygen in the air to produce entirely different chemical substances, including the gases carbon dioxide and water vapor. You can watch some very colorful chemical changes occurring in the video at this URL:

Identifying Chemical Changes
Most chemical changes are not as dramatic as exploding fireworks, so how can you tell whether a chemical change has occurred? There are usually clues. You just need to know what to look for. A chemical change has probably occurred if bubbles are released, there is a change of color, or an odor is produced. Other clues include the release of heat, light, or loud sounds. Examples of chemical changes that produce these clues are shown in the Figure below.
Q: In addition to iron rusting, what is another example of matter changing color? Do you think this color change is a sign that a new chemical substance has been produced?
A: Another example of matter changing color is a penny changing from reddish brown to greenish brown as it becomes tarnished. The color change indicates that a new chemical substance has been produced. Copper on the surface of the penny has combined with oxygen in the air to produce a different substance called copper oxide.
Q: Besides food spoiling, what is another change that produces an odor? Is this a chemical change?
A: When wood burns, it produces a smoky odor. Burning is a chemical change.
Q: Which signs of chemical change do fireworks produce?
A: Fireworks produce heat, light, and loud sounds. These are all signs of chemical change. You can learn how fireworks produce these signs of chemical change at this URL: http://www.scifun.org/chemweek/fireworks/fireworks.htm.
Can Chemical Changes Be Reversed?
Because chemical changes produce new substances, they often cannot be undone. For example, you can't change ashes from burning logs back into wood. Some chemical changes can be reversed, but only by other chemical changes. For example, to undo tarnish on copper pennies, you can place them in vinegar. The acid in the vinegar combines with the copper oxide of the tarnish. This changes the copper oxide back to copper and oxygen, making the pennies reddish brown again. You can try this at home to see how well it works.
- chemical change: change in matter that occurs when matter changes chemically into an entirely different substance with different chemical properties.
Chemical changes always result in the formation of a different substance(s). Physical changes do not. Do the interactive lab at the following URL to see if you can identify the chemical changes.

Missouri Standards
- 1.1.G.a: Identify and classify changes in matter as chemical and/or physical
- 1.1.G.b: Identify chemical changes (i.e., rusting, oxidation, burning, decomposition by acids, decaying, baking) in common objects (i.e., rocks such as limestone, minerals, wood, steel wool, plants) as a result of interactions with sources of energy or other matter that form new substances with different characteristic properties

Journalist offers view of Cold War, Oct. 25
Posted October 18, 2006; 05:50 p.m.
Don Oberdorfer, a 1952 Princeton alumnus and former diplomatic correspondent for The Washington Post, will deliver a lecture titled "From the Rear of the Secretary's Plane: A Journalist's-Eye View of the Cold War" at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 25, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Oberdorfer currently is a journalist in residence and adjunct professor of international relations at Johns Hopkins University's Nitze School of Advanced International Studies.
After 13 years as a journalist with other publications, Oberdorfer joined The Washington Post in 1968. He covered the Nixon White House and Northeast Asia, and served for 17 years as the Post's U.S. diplomatic correspondent before retiring from journalism in 1993.
Oberdorfer has received numerous awards for journalistic excellence, including the National Press Club's Edwin M. Hood Award for diplomatic correspondence in 1981 and 1988. Princeton presented him with the Woodrow Wilson Award, the highest honor bestowed on an undergraduate alumnus for exemplary service to the nation, in 1996.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

There's a disconnect in the F&I space that's getting more obvious.
Many dealers, including some of the big publicly traded dealership groups, say they're limiting their F&I menus to three or four items: extended-service contracts, GAP policies, prepaid maintenance and perhaps another.
The disconnect is that as a whole, F&I vendors are trying to push twice as many products or more.
Since everyone seems to agree that customers want a faster, more-efficient transaction, something's got to give.
Dealers keep the familiar workhorse products on the menu not only because they are the biggest-ticket items but also because they have obvious continuing benefits: Service contracts and prepaid maintenance drive repeat business in the service lanes.
At the NADA expo last weekend in Orlando, a longtime dealer acquaintance told me he got so tired of people trying to sell him something, he turned over the name badge that identified him as a dealer. That wasn't only to thwart F&I vendors, but still.
After he said that, I noticed a lot of dealer principals at the trade show with flipped-over badges, either accidentally or on purpose. In a way, it's a nice problem for dealers to have if there are more F&I products chasing fewer spots on the menu.
Meanwhile, lots of vendors are working on high-tech electronic menus. Part of the reason is that an e-menu enables a dealership to "stock" more F&I products because it's easy to tailor the menu quickly to fit a particular buyer profile -- loan or lease, for instance. Bundled products help, too.
But it looks like some store execs are already turning over their name badges.

Here we go again.
ORIGINAL: Steve_In
I think some of the current turkey guns will fit the discription of an assault weapon. Pistol grip shaped handhold, ported extended chokes in threaded barrels, adjustable tactical stocks etc. I think Obama's adminstration knows where they made errors in the Clinton admin and they have the power and votes to make their adgenda happen. This will just be the start.
