My last comment didn't "take"..Yes, Judith, there is a knitting 'Santa'. In fact, there were several..our officers w/ some help from some of our members. You gals did an awesome job! No wonder I haven't wanted to work all week..Just feel like staying home and knitting and working on some of those kits we got in our goody bags!

Whoah, last post was in 2000. Lots has happened. I dropped out (twice), got and left several jobs, moved to a new city (twice), etc etc etc.
I've kinda decided that being a programmer is for chumps - robotting out crap code for idiots is not what I want to do with my life, and more and more, that seems to what the 'software industry' career entails. Fuck it. I'm trying my hand at something new.
I'm learning Emacs-lisp, slowly. I use XEmacs, though. So nobody on the IRC networks I frequent can help me with the weird problems I run into. This is probably good for me.
I hate things that are good for me.

Hachivi Edgar Heap of Birds' BUILDING MINNESOTA was on view on the West River Parkway in Minneapolis between the Third Avenue Bridge and Portland Avenue in conjunction with CLAIM YOUR COLOR (March 4-May 9, 1990), an exhibition at the Walker Art Center featuring the artist's work. In his site-specific public work, Heap of Birds appropriates official signage and uses his own words to remind viewers of the lost history of that place. Each of the 38 signs that comprise BUILDING MINNESOTA recognizes a member of the Dakota tribe who was hanged at the end of the United States-Dakota Conflict of 1862. Heap of Birds chose this location for a number of reasons – here the Mississippi River is both blocked from access by a chain link fence and harnessed to create power for a number of nearby grain processing mills. He felt this location represented changes of the river from a spiritual and life-giving resource for the Dakota people to a place associated with the economics of trade managed by the white settlers who named this stretch of the river's bank "The Grain Belt."
As the land along the Parkway is owned by the Minneapolis Park Board, this commission demanded close cooperation between the City Council and the Walker. The Park Board donated the signs and the labor, and the Walker arranged for young adults to help the artist place the signs. In the commissioning contract, the artist retained the copyright to the commission and ownership of one complete set of signs (two sets were made in case of theft, vandalism, or loss) and the Walker reserved three signs for its permanent collection. While CLAIM YOUR COLOR came down in early May 1990, the Minneapolis Park Board agreed to keep BUILDING MINNESOTA on site through the first week of September.

Family: Bovidae, Cattle, Goats, and Sheep view all from this family
Description A white goat with small, slightly curved black horns. White coat is long and shaggy in the winter and shorter in the summer. Males are larger, with longer horns. Similar to female Dalls Sheep, but with black, not brown horns.
Dimensions 1.2-1.8m, 8-20cm, 46-136kg; / 1.3-1.5m, 8-14cm, 45-83kg
Similar Species Similar to female Dalls Sheep, but with black, not brown horns.
Breeding Males display and fight among themselves for access to females, and dominance hierarchies are established on the outcome. Breeding season is November-January, and one or two 2-3km young are born in May-June, usually on a steep cliff. The precocial young follow the mother immediately. Lactation lasts until fall, but young remain with mothers until the next birth. Juvenile mortality is high, but adult mortality low. Females first breed at age 3, and males somewhat later.
Habitat Alpine & subalpine habitats
Range Plains, Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Northwest, Western Canada, Alaska
Discussion Hooves are specialized for gripping rock. Maximum longevity is 20 years in the wild. Typically migrates down slope in the winter with the first snowfall and uphill in the summer. Uses open country above the timberline, with meadows for foraging and steep rocky cliffs or talus slopes for refuge from predators.

By Adam Armour/The Itawamba County Times
Fulton resident William Landry, 35, has been airlifted to North Mississippi Medical Center after reportedly running his truck off Highway 78 near Fawn Grove, Friday morning.
According to the Mississippi Highway patrol, the Landry appeared to have lost control of his vehicle, causing him to leave the road. The truck overturned several times and Landry was partially ejected from the vehicle, despite wearing his seatbelt.
When officials arrived at the scene, the truck was laying on one of Landry's legs. Landry's injuries have been described as "moderate."
The incident is still under investigation.

On May 30, 2012, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) launched a national initiative to reduce the unnecessary use of antipsychotic drugs and improve the overall care of nursing home residents with dementia.
On May 31, 2012, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), in collaboration with the Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), issued an Executive Report on the CDPH/DHCS Antipsychotic Collaborative addressing the use of these drugs and the associated care of residents in California's nursing homes. The report details quality of care findings impacting the provision of nursing, medical and pharmaceutical care, in addition to recommending opportunities for improvement.
Initiative partners include members of federal sectors, state entities, nursing homes, advocacy groups, along with health care professionals and caregivers; and, the collaborative project is underway to formulate and implement a strategic plan that aims to improve dementia care and reduce the use of antipsychotic drugs in nursing home residents by 15% by December 31, 2012.

GRAMMYs Spike Sales
GRAMMY nominees/performers Mumford & Sons' Sigh No More rose to No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with sales of 49,000 units, up 99 percent due in part to an increase in digital sales following the group's performance on the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards on Feb. 13, according to Billboard.biz. Further sales increases are expected next week, following a full week's impact from the GRAMMY telecast. Best New Artist GRAMMY winner Esperanza Spalding's Chamber Music Society rose to No. 1 on the Contemporary Jazz Albums chart with a gain of 243 percent. Other GRAMMY performers experiencing initial sales increases include Justin Bieber's My Worlds Acoustic (up 240 percent) and My World 2.0 (up 145 percent), Eminem's Recovery (up 51 percent), Bruno Mars' Doo-Wops & Hooligans (up 24 percent), and Rihanna's Loud (up 24 percent).

Need some advice on tidewater fly fishing
Hey Everyone,
I intend to start fly fishing for chinook and coho salmon heavily in tidewater this fall. The river I will be fishing is the Umpqua River in southwestern Oregon. I have some experience fly fishing for steelhead, just to let you know. What I am wondering was if anyone has any tips on fishing for these fish in tidewater. I have not yet tried this before and am looking for any suggestions on where to start, that is ideas on techniques, presentations, gear, flies, etc. This will be a totally new experience for me. I have gear fished for them for years farther upriver and have some ideas to try on them when they are that far upriver.
Also, I am interested to know if anyone can point me in the direction of any good reading materials sources. I have read "Fly Fishing for Pacific Salmon," "Salmon to a Fly," and the section in Combs' "Bluewater Fly Fishing" on Pacific salmon. I have been going through several issues of Wild Steelhead and Salmon Magazine, American Angler, Fly Tyer, and Field and Stream. Overall, I haven't found much on this subject in my magazines. And the most I have found to date on the web is here in this forum.
Anyway, thanks for reading, and I am open to all suggestions.
I'd start with Russell Chatham's Angler's Coast.
My copy is a gift from Nate Mantua after his visit to Cape Cod. Thanks Nate, I am thoroughly enjoying the book.

Ronnie Montrose jams with Greg Kihn, LIVE on air at 98.5 KFOX Radio
Ronnie Montrose is a living guitar legend.
Montrose has worked with a variety of musicians over the years, including Herbie Hancock, Van Morrison, The Beau Brummels, Boz Scaggs, Beaver & Krause, Gary Wright, Tony Williams, The Neville Brothers, and Dan Hartman. He was in the Edgar Winter Group before forming his own band, Montrose in 1973, featuring Sammy Hagar on vocals.
The list of hit tunes that Ronnie has been involved with rolls on like a 'who's who' of everything you want to hear on Classic Rock radio.
Recently, Ronnie Montrose stopped by Radio Station 98.5 KFOX in San Jose, CA for an interview, and when it came time for Ronnie to pick up a guitar? A Voyage-Air OM-style guitar!
Featured on the Greg Kihn Morning Show, we got a video of Greg and Ronnie jamming a tune that was blown out live on the air. This is one of those rare occasions when two established rockers just picked up guitars to do a song, live, on the air.
Big thanks to Greg Kihn, and likewise for Ronnie Montrose for his respect of the Voyage-Air guitar, and how great it made him sound GREAT during this radio broadcast.
Click here for the link to the video of this on-air performance at radio station 98.5 KFOX.

Intel i5 vs i7
January 22, 2014, 03:51:53 PM »
trying to put a system together with a reasonable budget. Going to actually try and build one myself. Research seems to show that the i5 4670 offers the best bang per dollar. But then I see the recommended specs for thief is an i7. I'm certainly not building a system for thief, but if games are already listing i7 in recommended, it makes me wonder if I would be hamstringing myself. Thoughts?

I have an i5 2550k, which is basically the older version of the i5 4670 CPU and haven't had any problems with running games. I think GPU is more important these days. Just about all my games ran fine with the Radeon 7870 at 1680x1050. When I got a higher resolution monitor I purchased a second 7870 and moved to a Crossfire setup. But performance was crap in a lot of games that were not optimized for Crossfire and there were other oddities I was encountering that just ticked me off.
So I tossed that setup and got a overclocked NVidia 780. Games ran smooth as butter with a very few exceptions, like Assassins Creed 4 which has some slowdowns at points, but turning on Nvidia's Adaptive Vsync option smoothed everything out (was blown away it actually worked as described). Its possible the i7 may have smoothed frame rates out naturally but why not save some bucks and put that towards a decent video card which would give more performance oomph than any CPU.
I suspect Thief will run fine on my rig. I have it pre-purchased so will find out when its released.

The new generation of console ports and cross gen games coming off the XB1 and PS4 will definitely be using the i7's features. So buying the i7 has more future proofing.
That said, it's likely anything mid-level you buy now isn't quite ready for the switch to the new gen standard, and that hardware spec won't become the full standard for another 2 years. At that point, you'll notice that the new gen console ports are running slow.
So save money and buy the i5, just realize that you're buying on the cusp of a hardware generation change. Last gen consoles dictated and stabilized the PC hardware market and allowed people to keep gaming on 3-5 year old PCs at good framerate and image quality. You're going to be a bit between generations, so be prepared for another upgrade.

Does that hold for older i7 processors? My CPU must be like 4-5 years now, and while I know for sure my video card has become a bottleneck it feels like my CPU almost certainly also has to be after all that time.
I have an i7 920 @ 2.67GHz

I don't know Turtle. I found a site-Puget computers I think- where they compared i5 to i7 rather extensively. They were pretty identical in terms of features and instruction sets except i7 had hyperthreading, which is more for multitasking and games don't use. At least that was my take away. I'm running a core 2 duo with a nvidia 460 so it's time to do something.

Yes, your older i7 will still be good since it's actually better than the ones in consoles.
That article was likely old, even if it was written in the last few months. Times are changing, standards and utilization of those standards are definitely changing.
The default CPU in all consoles now all have 8 cores by default, most of you are still running single or dual cores if you've only been buying gaming PCs. One use of hyperthreading was to handle threading processing across many cores. The i7s tended to have more cores on the CPU than the i5, that's a major thing and is pretty confusing from intel. You're going to see all games making use of a full 8 cores, along with any technologies or techniques to help them distribute processing across those cores without overcomplicating their code.
Take Watch dogs for example, their minimum is a 64 bit OS, a quad core CPU of around 3ghz equivalent of performance, 6GB RAM.
Then their recommended (actually playable with good image quality) specs is an i7 3770 (quad core with hyperthreading), 8GB RAM, and 2GB video ram, and you can bet it's going to make use of anything extra that you throw at it.

Good Lord there is a great deal of debate on i5 vs i7 for gaming. Tons of people on both sides. I have no idea what to do. I don't like spending for nothing but $100 over the life of the computer is trivial. Half the people say hyperthreading does not will not help in games, and the other half say you are crazy of course it does. I certainly don't need a beast machine I just want stuff to run smooth. Some even say hyperthreading can cause small microstutters. My head hurts.

To me, there's no debate needed, it's situational.
The i5 right now, is your best performance per dollar for a high end CPU for gaming and general use. Just buy the i5 and you'll enjoy games for a while. Since the i5 socket is the same as the i7 (check to make sure though) you can update to a cheap i7 by the time you need it.
The i7 right now is slightly better performing than the i5 in many situations, even games, but not so much that you want to spend the extra money for it. However, if you do any kind of professional work on the PC, such as art, sound, video, etc, then you'll want the i7 because it is a drastic jump in performance.
Then, in a year or two, the situation is going to change as the industry fully adopts the new console spec. You might actually be better off using an AMD CPU since everyone will be programming and optimizing for that chip, even on PC.
Get the i5, and don't worry about it, spend that $100 on a game. By the time you need to change, i7s will have dropped in price so much that you can do a drastic upgrade for cheap.
That big change I keep talking about in 2 years, well you'll probably want to wait 3 years or more to upgrade anyway since after the 2nd year, hardware stabilizes and prices start to go down for hardware that will run games just the same. This is exactly what happened when the 360 and PS3 came out, they drove down hardware prices drastically after that mark.

The main diff between the i5 and i7 is the i7 has hyper threading which will make it appear to windows as if it has 8 cores, it really only has four (unless you are talking about the extreme edition which has 6). Unless you just have the extra money to throw at it I'd go with the i5.

I'm trying to wait until the x99 motherboards come out in Q2 and then evaluate. z87's aren't doing it for me without triple/quad-channel RAM and the x79's seem like they may not age quite as well from here on out as the x58's did.
Pardon me, but that is a .... damn fine cup of coffee.

Looking for an anytime dessert idea? Then enjoy these pretty as thumbprints rum flavored butter cookies baked with a nutty twist – fill centre with colored frosting.
The end of a wooden spoon works like a thumb to indent each of these small rum-flavored cookies. If any indentions fill in during baking, indent them again immediately upon removing the cookie from the oven.
Baked cookies can b be frozen before they are filled. Or fill the cookies and freeze them on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Then pack frozen filled cookies between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container.
Divide the frosting into several small bowls and make each portion a different color.

Absolutely awesome. I've always been worried about travelling to New York to see a Dolphins game. Maybe I'll head down from Toronto if this thing happens next year too! I love heading into enemy territory.
awesome. Just awesome! Glad you guys had a great time. Wish I could of been there that day

That is some cool ****. As for the owner/s and his entourage, that **** matters. Alot of posters here were saying how Ross just cares about this and that, and not winning games. But when a NFL ****ing OWNER shows up at a TAILGATE party, its a very cool thing.
Also in your first picture, who let Cheech into the party?
Looked like a great time,glad you guys had fun. It was cool that Ross showed up as well. Hope to experience a game someday.
Laughing and pointing at the Jets fan was a classic shot. Great job.

I would like to take this opportunity to share some light into the problems that International Medical Graduates sometimes face in Australia. IMG's sacrifice a lot to leave their home countries and relocate to a foreign land. They provide essential healthcare to a lot of underserved areas in Australia. Although Dr Sofocado and his family have now been granted permanent residency, he is still crusading for changes to Australian migration laws to give the chance to a lot of doctors who have wholeheartedly served otherwise underserved areas of Australia.
I am including the email of Dr Cesar Sofocado to the current ADTOA chair, Dr Viney Joshi to illustrate his plight (With explicit permission from Dr Sofocado) and to get support for his crusade.

Re: Compassion to the family of Dr. Cesar Sofocado, whose wife Mary is terminally ill with secondary breast cancer (advanced)
Approval of the family's permanent residency visa application based On Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds
Divorce sick wife, doctor told
Dear Dr Viney Joshi,
Good morning Dr Viney Joshi!
First, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my family's experience, especially of my wife, concerning BREAST CANCER which spread to her BRAIN and Lungs! We know that you are very busy and we really appreciate for giving a little of your precious time and attention to our humble request. I am an Overseas Trained Doctor ( Philippines ) – GP, working and providing medical services to the rural and remote areas of Western Australia , for almost six years now.
May I ask your help for a Letter of Support or Any Assistance to my Family's request to the Hon Immigration Minister Chris Bowen for Humanitarian Consideration and Compassion for my terminally ill wife?
In 2005, my family arrived in Perth on Temporary Visa (Subclass 422, Medical Doctor) upon satisfying all conditions including health requirements. I served as Hospital Medical Officer in regional towns of Geraldton ( Geraldton Regional Hospital , WA ), and as a General Practitioner at Karratha (Karratha Medical Centre), Dampier (Dampier Medical Centre), and Dalyellup-Bunbury (Wishing Well Medical Clinic). Currently, I'm a GP here in Ellenbrook Medical Centre.
When my wife Mary was still healthy, she studied in TAFE-WA Central West Geraldton and TAFE-WA Pilbara. She worked in Early Learning Centre and Crèche, caring for babies and children.
In 2008, we applied for Independent Skilled Migrant Visa (Subclass 175) hoping to acquire permanent residency. Unfortunately, while in waiting for almost two years from DIAC's (Dept of Immigration And Citizenship) response, Mary got suddenly ill and unexpectedly developed breast cancer which spread to her brain. She had undergone three major operations due to a malignant breast cancer and a brain tumour here in WA. She was also further diagnosed with lung cancer (which actually "missed" by her specialist) and was advised to undergo another Lung operation and radiation and chemotherapy.
As my wife's health deteriorates her dream of our family's residing permanently in Australia becomes blurred and dim. Although DIAC has full knowledge of Mary's condition we were still advice to apply for W.A State Sponsorship Skilled Sponsored (Migrant) Visa (Subclass176). This application was later supported by Hon. Judi Moylan, MP and Hon. Frank Alban, MLA.
My family, especially my dying wife is not asking much from the Australian government. We just want a little recognition of my family's contribution (thru me and my wife's work and active participation in the church and community) to the rural & remote areas of WA, and humanitarian consideration and compassion to my terminally ill wife (41 y/o). It's not my wife's fault to have this advanced breast cancer! Nobody wants to have cancer! But this was the reason the DIAC is keep on pounding on my family's minds (my wife, my two young daughters, and me)! And the Immigration Case Officer is using this Breast Cancer of my wife to reject our permanent residency visa, as a "gift" for our almost 6 years of service here in WA.
Her Excellency Ms Quentin Bryce AC, Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia, said in one of her speeches: "Every one of us is connected by it and to it in some way (breast cancer). Unlike you, I have not suffered frombreast cancer, but I have observed again and again its force and its devastation, something of what it means to be a woman – her family, our community". Her Excellency emphasized that: "Women living with breast cancer are the inspiration! They fight their individual battles, quietly, patiently, but with the utmost determination and courage and the support of their families and friends. May their voices continue to be heard!"
As you can see Dr Viney Joshi, our case is unique in the sense that there is some form of "urgency" on the basis of my wife's terminal illness. Unlike other visa applications refused due to medical conditions, wherein the applicants had the luxury of time and resources to wait the long process of appealing to the Migration Review Tribunal, because of Mary's terminal cancer, we don't have that time and much resource.
Another issue that I want the well-respected Dr Viney Joshi to be aware of, were the mistakes (which the immigration called as "miscommunications") made by the Case Officers handling our application. I'm looking on another angle wherein the Immigration Case Officer 1 ( Ala– ) made a mistake of giving me an option of Visa 176 State Sponsorship. Because I trusted the Case Officer 1 ( Ala– ) of the Dept of Immigration and Citizenship and I believed that she's ( Ala– ) an expert on her field, I followed her advice and applied for the Visa 176. I was granted the Western Australia State Sponsorship, and we're told to proceed with our medical requirements by the new Case Officer 2 (And–). I am not aware that the Visa 176 advised to me by the Case Officer 1 ( Ala– ) has "no health waiver", meaning we cannot appeal. I am not an expert in Immigration law. Case Officers of the Immigration of Australia are highly regarded as an expert with immigration rules and, they have the "power" to accept or reject the applicants. From the very beginning, our Case Officer 1 ( Ala– ) was aware of my wife's medical condition. And now we've done everything, the new Case Officer (And–) handling our applications told me already that he's (And–) going to reject our permanent residency visa application because of my wife's medical condition and we cannot appeal for that because the Visa 176 we applied has "no health waiver!" Accordingly, the Case Officer 2 (DIAC) will approve only our Permanent Residency visa if my wife is already DEAD! Or if we are DIVORCED! Or if we are LEGALLY SEPARATED!
In my humble opinion, the Case Officer 1 ( Ala– ) gave us a "wrong information" and "misled" me and my family to apply for VISA 176 with no health waiver. This "miscommunication" (as called by the Immigration) will result to the rejection of our application according to Case Officer 2 (And–), with NO chance to appeal! This "miscommunications" made by DIAC's own Case Officer "buried my family's future" deeper into the ground. We are already down and injured because of the impact of Stage 4 advanced breast cancer to my wife and family! And this rejection will be no less than a Death sentence to my terminally ill wife, and my family! We feel that our already devastated family, especially my beloved wife, and after our share of work and contribution to the "Areas of Need" of Western Australia , is being treated unjustly and unfairly!
Our beloved Dr Viney Joshi my wife, my two young daughters and me, are down on our knees, begging and humbly pleading for your support and assistance in regards to our appeal with the Immigration Minister. Please, do help us! Thank you so much.
Yours respectfully,
SOFOCADO FAMILY (Dr Cesar, Mary, Sofia, Kyla)
Home Address: 18 Heathland Terrace,
Ellenbrook WA 6069
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Our heartfelt thanks to the supports and pledges of the following:
"Dr Sofocado has provided so much to our society over the last few years- I believe it is only fair and just that he and his family are supported through this incredibly difficult time. They should not have to spend what little time may be remaining on fighting! Please let them live this time together, in peace."

"Mary (Stella) has shown to be an exceptionally talented child care assistant who always strives for best practice. Mary (Stella) is a very approachable, friendly and creative person and she has a genuine interest in the care and education of young children"
Kirsty Monaghan
Supervising Officer
Pilbara TAFE Creche
"Due to the fact that his wife is terminally ill with breast and brain cancer, I would urge to consider Dr Sofocado's plea for a permanent visa on compassionate grounds. I believe we owe this much to Dr Sofocado as the community of Western Australia had benefited from his medical services."
Dr Alan Eggleston
Senator for Western Australia
"On both compassionate and practical grounds, I believe the Doctor and his family demonstrate a solid case for support and would ask that you carefully review the full merits of this case before you."
Maria Vamvakinou MP
Federal Member for Calwell
"On compassionate grounds it would be clearly create a greater upheaval and cause further trauma to this family under the circumstance to have to leave the country with their two young children, From a practical point of view it would be tragic loss of a doctor who is now established in an area of increasing need."
Judi Moylan MP
Member for Pearce
"Dr Sofocado and his wife have contributed actively to their communities. I believe that this family would be model citizens."
Frank Alban MLA
Member for Swan Hills
"I am seeking compassionate consideration to grant the permanent visa application of Dr Cesar for the welfare of the whole family and especially for their two daughters. These children have grown with an Australian identity having experienced the Australian way of life in their early childhood years."

Fr Maurizio Pettena CS: National Director, Australian Catholic Migrant and Refugee Office, Australian Catholic Bishop Conference

Fr Steven Casey: Parish Priest, Karratha/ Dampier WA
"I ask for your fresh consideration on the matter as a point of urgency in the light of humanitarian and compassionate grounds with what the family has been and continue to go through, but also from the point of view of what this family can continue to add to our communities if allowed to stay."
Graham R Fabian
Senior Minister
Sun City Christian Centre Geraldton
"It would be a shame if Mary's illness results in their application being rejected as it would be very traumatic for the family to leave the country. It would also result in the unnecessary loss of a medical doctor who has been serving the Australian community for over five years, at a time when there is still a shortage of medical practitioners."
Ramdas Sankaran: Executive Director, Multicultural Services Centre of Western Australia Inc
"Urgently, we are concerned on how to alleviate the plight of the Sofocado family by supporting the visa application already filed at DIAC. Dear Minister, we appeal to your compassion for the family while Mary is still alive. No one can prolong her precious life but your favourable action will surely make her last days less painful. Your act of compassion will be a lasting legacy not only to her two daughters but to all Filipino-Australian families and supporters."
George Kotsakis: Chairperson, Migrante-Australia
Marino Salinas : President, Filipino Australian Club of Perth
Dante C. Maribbay,CD: President, Damayang Filipino Inc.
Noel Chicote: President, Filipino Australian Sports Association
"To deny the family of permanent residency will be very inhumane as they have served in the caring and wellbeing of fellow Australians and formed strong roots in Australia . It will be devastating enough for the girls to lose their mum at such an early and impressionable age and then to be told that they have to leave the country where they had dreams of building their future."
Dr Amarjit Singh & Family
"Cesar & Mary has done Australia a very special service and I believe that we should be very grateful for that. Please let Mary spend her remaining days in Australia (which the Sofocado family considered as home) peacefully surrounded by her precious family and her loving friends!
Emily McKeating
"They've spent almost 6 years of their lives here in Australia and no doubt that they've embraced the system whole heartedly. The family had started a new home and look forward for a brighter future. We believed that they need a chance to be heard and be helped in whatever deemed possible for humanitarian reason as Mary's agony should be appeased and serenity should foster for greater good."

The Australian Emergency Medicine application (AusEM) aims to bring evidence-based medicine to clinical practice in a quick, easy-to-read format. The AusEM app is a continuing collaboration among doctors in different levels of their training, encompassing a broad spectrum of skills and experience. We showcase local guidelines and protocols that are more suitable to the Australian practice of emergency medicine. The app consists of 2 main parts: E2P, and EM notes. E2P or "Evidence 2 Practice" will help you with specific problems on managing patients (i.e. – is treatment X appropriate for condition Y?). E2P concentrates on individual parts of a medical consult (i.e – history, physical examination, investigations and management). EM Notes, on the other hand, will help you form the framework of managing patients as a whole. Unlike E2P which concentrates on individual parts of a medical consult, EM notes should help you build a structured, logical plan to deal with all the factors that contribute to a patients presentation until final disposition. Think of EM Notes as looking at the forest whilst E2P looks at individual trees. The AusEM app is free to download from the AppStore. Working in mobile phone signal-poor emergency departments ourselves, once installed on your iPhone, the data on the AusEM app is accessible offline, with only twice-monthly updates needed to include new topics on your app. The AusEM app is an in-house development of the Gold Coast Hospital – Accident and Emergency Department, based in Queensland, Australia.

Voter guide to conservatives on southeast Wisconsin ballots
Election day is just a few days away now. Hopefully, you have been following the candidates running in your area, but sometimes, it is difficult to garner the information you need to make an informed decision when voting. Since these are non-partisan races, how do you know who is the more conservative choice?
If you live in the southeast corner of Wisconsin, you can take a look at the Wisconsin Conservatives - Vote April 3rd! Voter Guide*. It covers School Board Candidates, County Races, and Municipal Races, where identified Conservatives are running, from Appleton to Kenosha. There is even a spot to leave a comment on each of these web pages.
I live in Brookfield. So on this voter guide, my Elmbrook School Board incumbents Wartman and Lambert are named as the conservative choices. I heartily concur. In the County Races section, the only contested Waukesha County Supervisor race for us is for District 7 in northeastern Brookfield (also includes southeast Menomoneee Falls, Butler). The Voter Guide picks Jennifer Grant. She is endorsed by my State Assembly Representative Dale Kooyenga and the Menomonee Falls Taxpayer Association. She would get my vote too, but I live south of her district. Our Municipal Aldermen are not on the guide, but in the 3 contested races, I would pick Dan Sutton in District 1 and Renee Lowerr in my District 7. I know Lowerr to be Conservative.
For those living in Milwaukee County, the important Milwaukee County Conservative Candidates are listed:
- Milwaukee Comptroller: Bunting
- Milwaukee Judge 17: Nelson Phillips - JudgeNelsonPhillips.com
- Milwaukee 1: Cegielski
- Milwaukee 9: Taylor
- Milwaukee 11: Borkowski
- Milwaukee 17: Sanfelippo
- Milwaukee 18: Alexander
So keep doing your homework and then go vote on Tuesday, April 3, 2012. Polls open at 7am and close at 8pm.
It is unlikely Voter ID will be in place, but one part of the law stands: You must sign the Poll List before you vote.
*My thanks to Conservative Blogger Randy Melchert for his part in compiling this extensive voters guide!

Ray Combs
Ray Combs hosted the game show Family Feud for six years, replacing original host Richard Dawson in 1988 and in turn being replaced by Dawson, who returned to the show in 1994. Ray Combs was a comedian and guest-starred in a few 1980s TV shows before he was hired for his gig at Family Feud in 1988. After Dawson's return, Combs hosted an unrelated show, Family Challenge, from 1995-96. In 1996 Combs, apparently distraught over marital and financial problems, was admitted to the psychiatric ward of the Glendale (Calif.) Adventist Medical Center. There he used bedsheets to hang himself in a closet.
Ray Combs and his wife Debbie were married from 1977 until his death. According to the Internet Movie DataBase, they had six children: Raymond Neil Combs III (born 1978), Kelly Jo (b. 1980), Whitney (b. 1983), Chelsy (b. 1987), Kirby (b. 1988) and Cody (b. 1991).

Costco had a couple of different motorola models for a pretty good price. I may pick up a few more next time I am there.
FWIW, after Angie (I think it was) posted in the product review forum a while back about the Midlands, I got a pair and tried them. Since then I have been replacing my Motorolas with the Midlands. Not that I had any problems with the Motos but the Midlands are clearer, seem to have better battery life and have a longer range.

Rep. Peter King (R) on NSA Leaks: Prosecute the Journalists
Jason Mick
June 12, 2013 4:00 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: CNN)
Homeland Security committee member things freedom of the press in the U.S. is growing tiresome
What do President Barack Obama (D) and
Rep. Peter King
(R- N.Y.) have in common? They are none too happy about the sources and the journalists involved in the publication of secrets on the NSA snooping on Americans.
I. Forget Freedom of the Press, Says Rep. King
In an interview with Anderson Cooper last night, Rep. King, who sits on the
House Homeland Security committee
, said that Glenn Greenwald of the
and other journalists involved in the publication of details of the
U.S. National Security Agency
's (NSA)
program to secretly spy on Americans
should be charged and face prison time.
He comments:
Actually, if they willing knew that this was classified information, I think action should be taken, especially on something of this magnitude. I know that the whole issue of leaks has been gone into over the last month. I think something on this magnitude, there is an obligation, both moral but also legal, I believe, against a reporter disclosing something which would so severely compromise national security.
President Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder has reportedly carried out campaigns to spy on a
Fox News
reporter who was involved in the publication of leaked intelligence details on North Korea. In that case, AG Holder signed early documents suggesting that the journalist -- James Rosen -- was
considered a "co-conspirator"
to the leaker and could face criminal charges. The effort to charge the journalists was ultimately dropped as the investigation proceeded, but drew substantial criticism.
AG Eric Holder has considered charging journalists in previous leaks. [Image Source: AP]
AG Holder also supervised a program to
monitor dozens of
Associated Press
phone lines
in an effort to hunt down the person who leaked details of a foiled bomb plot.
The Obama administration has charged more than twice as many whistleblowers with Espionage Act (
) offenses as all the previous administrations before him (since the Act was passed in 1917) combined. But he's only been able to do that thanks to support of the practices by members of Congress, including House Republicans like Rep. King.
II. FBI Works Towards Charging Whistleblower
News of the
long rumored
NSA spying
-- funded by
Barack Obama's "big data" spending program
-- broke last week. Details of two programs -- a narrow, more aggressive program dubbed PRISM and a broad, ubiquitous unnamed phone records seizure program leaked. According to the Obama administration the PRISM effort involved the seizure of email and chat records, but was meant to target suspected terrorists -- most foreigners -- and was limited to a small number of individuals.
By contrast the phone records seizure
tracked the majority of U.S. citizens
-- including those who never communicated with a foreigner and never were suspected of committing a crime. The Obama administration sought to downplay this spying saying it was "only metadata". However, that "metadata" contained records of who you talked to and when, plus tracked the locations of citizens on a daily basis.
Both programs were authorized under the Oct. 2001
(Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism) Act.
The FBI is drafting chargers against the leaker, and possibly journalists.
[Image Source: Alamy]
On Sunday,
the leaker outed himself
as Edward Snowden, a former contractor for the NSA who worked at Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp (
). Rep. King was among the first to call on him to be charged. The
U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations
(FBI) is rumored be currently drafting up those charges. Mr. Snowden is rumored to be holed up at a safe house in Hong Kong.

Posted: 11 March 2012 at 9:36pm
ISLAMABAD -A bomb exploded at a funeral in northwest Pakistan Sunday, killing at least 14 people and injuring more than 30 others, health and police officials said.
The explosion took place in Badber, an area in the outskirts of Peshawar, as hundreds of people gathered for the funeral of the wife of a member of an anti-Taliban militia.
Rahim Jan, head of Lady Reading hospital, said 14 people had died and five of the injured were in a critical condition.
"We have found the lower part of a body, from which it seems suicide attack was involved, said Abdul Kalam a senior police official.
Khush Dil Khan, a deputy speaker of the provincial assembly, survived the attack by leaving just minutes before the attacker struck.
Khan is from the Awami National Party, a secular and anti-Taliban group whose members have been regularly attacked by Terririst.

They shared ideas about how to paint, both of them enjoying the effects of loose brushwork and outdoor light. Portrait of Philip Connard, in its painterly approach and in its subject of an artist painting outdoors, can be compared with Sargent'sThe fountain, Villa Torlonia, Frascati, Italy.

Following yesterday's filing by social networking and enterprise software vendor LinkedIn (LNKD) proposing a follow-on share sale, word this evening is the company has priced the offering at $223, 7% below today's close of $238.93 per share, according to TheFlyontheWall.
The 5.38-million-share offering would raise $1.2 billion. LinkedIn competes with a number of enterprise and social networking outfits, to one extent or another, including Microsoft (MSFT), Facebook (FB), International Business Machines (IBM), Salesforce.com (CRM), and SAP AG (SAP).

First, the criteria for someone owning one should not be need. This is the question i hear all the time "But why do you NEED one of (fill in the blank)." I don't have to justify need.
As to your second point, they do look to the wrong place to fix things. Intentionally I believe. If and when this "assault weapon" ban goes through, it will do NO good. BUT, there will be a longer list of items that Americans can no longer own. Then there WILL be another tragedy. And it will start all over again. The cry for more "common sense" gun laws. The process repeats over and over again until the 2nd amendment no longer exists. They don't want to solve the problem. They want to disarm the people. One tragedy at a time. Incrementalism as Road Kill calls it.

Help please. Fin problems
4 of my bleeding heart tetras have some whitening on their fins and one has a white patch on his body. My best guess would be a fun fungus? I had had my tank for 2 months now. I do weekly 10 gallons water changes/vacuuming in my 55 gallon ta k. I also have some algae eaters, loach, 3 gouramis, 5 neons tetras and they have no issues. Please help me. Oh my water temp was 75 and I slowly bumped it up to 80 today. Thank you!! Sorry if the photos don't work or posted doubles I am on my phoneAttachment 27547

UPDATE: I just noticed a tiny white bump on the bottom of two of their mouths.

I have had something similar hit my rummynoses before. I used some Maracyn and it worked very well, just remember to remove any carbon from your filter before you do it because I think the carbon will negate any effects. It was too late for a couple of them but the infection stopped spreading immediately. Good Luck.
Your attachments don't work. Whitening around the edges of the fins is fin rot, not a fungus, and it's often caused by poor water quality. You need to change more than 10 gallons each week. Do you test the water parameters, what are the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels? The best thing to cure fin rot is clean water. I would start with a 50% water change and continue that every few days and see if the fish start getting better.When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me
also - your ammonia should read 0, nitrites 0 and nitrates less than 20. If you don't have an API liquid test kit, you need to get one and check your water perimeters weekly until they are stable. any time ammonia and or nitrites approach .50 and nitrates exceed 20ppm you need a large water change.

Mommy1 +1! (can't give a rep point! Again, my system is not working right! This is getting to be a drag.)
If your water is getting bad with only weekly changes of 10 gal and larger water changes are not fesaible (more like 50% as Mommy1 say's), consider an algae filter. This will help (but never replace ... well, not totally true - there have been closed systems based on these but that is a whole other tpoic) keep the tank cleaner. Even if you can do larger changes, still consider these units - they work really well when combined with regular filters and water changes.Knowledge is fun(damental)
A 75 gal with eight Discus, fake plants, and a lot of wood also with sand substrate. Clean up crew is down to just two Sterba's Corys. Filters: continuous new water flow; canister w/UV, in-tank algae scrubber!! Finally, junked the nitrate removal unit from hell.

A diabetes awareness campaign developed by the Diabetes Association of Sri Lanka - a member association of IDF - for World Diabetes Day 2011 has been recognised as one of the best global advertisements for the week of January 11 by the website bestadsontv.com. The campaign - 'Forkspoon' - aimed to raise awareness of diabetes on 14 November by taking an average teaspoon and cutting slits in it to resemble a fork, so as to reduce the amount of sugar that it could contain.
The teaspoon was distributed across a local chain of restaurants in the country and picked up by national television, enlightening the entire nation on the benefits of reduced sugar consumption in helping to prevent the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Study: The more you deprive yourself of chocolate, the more your brain would crave for it
Singapore: Researchers at the University of British Columbia, US, have found that the more you ignore an object, the more our brain concentrates on it. The study also found that people become less obsessed with a forbidden object if they know that others around them too can't indulge. The article was first published in the journal, Cognitive, Affective and Behavioral Neuroscience.
Also, when an object is forbidden to a group (for example chocolates), the allure of the object reduces dramatically. The researchers used electronic brain imaging and memory tests for this and found that the forbidden objects were recognised as well as self-owned objects. This was interpreted as a sign of unnecessary heightened concentration.
Furthermore, the study explained how participants were shown images of everyday objects and told the objects were either theirs, someone else's, forbidden to them or forbidden to everyone.
The study titled, 'An unforgettable apple: Memory and attention for forbidden objects', revealed how the brain's awareness is heightened towards an object or a pleasure that is forbidden.
Speaking about the findings of the study, Dr Grace Truong, lead author from the University of British Columbia, US, said that, "Our findings show that when individuals are forbidden from everyday objects, our minds and brains pay more attention to them. Our brains give forbidden objects the same level of attention as our own personal possessions."

Ron Cook: Panthers are ACC favorites ... seriouslyJanuary 21, 2014 11:56 PM
Syracuse is 18-0 and has been ranked No. 2 in America since Dec. 9, but it is not the favorite to win the ACC championship.
I'm serious.
That is not a giddy overreaction to Pitt's ridiculously easy 76-43 win against Clemson Tuesday night at Petersen Events Center. It is merely a clear-thinking assessment of the way Pitt is playing, its 5-1 league record, the quality of the other ACC teams and the remaining schedule.
All signs point to Pitt.
It is early, sure. Pitt has played just six conference games, one-third of its league schedule. A lot of bad things can happen between now and the start of the ACC tournament March 12. Pitt already has lost sixth man Durand Johnson to a season-ending knee injury. Another injury could be crushing.
But why think negatively?
Where is the joy in that?
It is much more fun to think about how Pitt can win the ACC in its first season in the conference. It's not a stretch to suggest it should be in first place now instead of Syracuse. It lost at Syracuse, 59-54, Saturday in a game that left the players and coaching staff angry because they felt they should have won.
"More angry than disappointed," Pitt coach Jamie Dixon said. "You're never sure how it's going to go in the next game because it was such a tough, emotional loss. You always wonder if there will be a carryover or a hangover. But I kind of felt we would play well. We practiced Sunday and everyone came out early. We practiced Monday and everyone came out way early ...
"But I didn't expect this."
Clemson, which came in with a 4-1 conference record, never had a chance. Pitt's 33-point margin of victory was the second-biggest in a league game in the Dixon era. It didn't quit match the 93-55 win against DePaul in a Big East Conference game a year ago, but who's complaining?
So much for that Clemson defense, which had been the best in the ACC, allowing opponents to score an average of 53.5 points and shoot 36.2 percent. Pitt scored at will and shot 56.3 percent. Pitt continued to be an unselfish team, getting 24 assists on 27 baskets. That's why it can be so difficult to stop at times.
"We've been pretty darn good offensively all year, so we must be doing something right," Dixon said. "We were always on the attack tonight, in transition or in our half-court offense. We always had something going to the basket."
Point guard James Robinson was in the middle of much of it. He had a wonderful game, hitting 2 of 3 3-point shots and finishing with eight assists and no turnovers. Big man Talib Zanna showed again he is an offensive force by making 9 of 10 shots and scoring 22 points.
"He's becoming more patient with his offense," Dixon said of Zanna. "He's letting things come to him and his understanding of the game is better. When you have that, it's going to lead to more opportunities."
Pitt's defense was just as good, holding Clemson to 32 percent shooting. K.J. McDaniels came in averaging 16.7 points and 7.2 rebounds per game but needed 11 shots to get 11 points. Give much of the credit to Lamar Patterson for strong defense. McDaniels also had just four rebounds, none offensively. As usual, Pitt had a rebounding edge, 33-28.
Pitt even got back to making its free throws -- 14 of 18 -- after a miserable game at the line at Syracuse.
"It's rare," Dixon said of such a one-sided conference game. "You don't count on it. I certainly didn't. Clemson is a good team. I watched them beat Duke by 13. We'll see them again at their place."
Pitt plays at Clemson March 8 in its final ACC regular-season game. Of Pitt's six remaining conference road games, that's the only one against a team with a winning record in the league. Good luck to Clemson trying to make up that 33-point gap.
Pitt's toughest remaining games are at home, where it is 192-22 with 14 consecutive wins. Duke (3-2 in the ACC) is here Monday night in the game everyone has wanted to see since news broke that Pitt was switching conferences. Virginia (5-1) comes in on Super Bowl Sunday. The rematch with Syracuse is Feb. 12 and should be much-anticipated. Florida State (4-2) plays here Feb. 23.
I don't see any of 'em winning at Petersen Events Center.
The schedule clearly favors Pitt. Syracuse also has to play at Duke and at Virginia. Duke has to play a second game against Syracuse at Syracuse. Virginia has that game at Pitt.
The ACC, clearly in a down year, is there for Pitt to take.
Not that Dixon is looking that far ahead. He said his only concern is the game Saturday night at Maryland. But he did concede, "We're getting better. I think people can see that. What excites me is the team we can become."
Not just a really good team.
An ACC championship team.

text: Chalst: Oh, I didn't mean to imply the runtime costs end with the set of runtime sertives. I'm well aware that every backend "solution" for a compiler-writer imposes some constraints on the form of the translation, and hence a set of performance taxes itself. In LLVM's case, for example, it seems to want a free hand in managing your frames, and it can't guarantee you tail calls. So anything not-C-like in the control-abstraction or calling-convention requirements -- common-ish in FP -- is probably going to require more explicit heap representations of frames, or old-skool trampoline helper functions or such. These costs might be acceptable, but they're similar to the costs you face when translating many languages via C itself.

Naoki Ishikawa vs "Kyoken" Yuji Takeuchi 2 Set for Krush.12
- Written by Dave Walsh
Krush and Yuji Takeuchi have finally come to a decision on his opponent for his September 24th bout and it will be none other than former AJKF Super Featherweight champion "Naokick" Naoki Ishikawa, a rematch from the 2009 Krush Lightweight GP semifinals. Their first fight ended with an amazing flying knee knockout from Ishikawa, but Takeuchi had started a cut over Ishikawa's eye, making him unable to compete in the finals. Since that fight, neither man has had the best of luck, with Ishikawa going 2-5 and Takeuchi going 2-4. However, Takeuchi did make it to the finals of the Krush 60kg tournament, knocking out Masaaki Noiri in a wild 3rd round before being knocked out himself by Hirotaka Urabe, the man that bested Ishikawa in the first round of that same tournament. As always with Takeuchi's fights, this one should deliver the fireworks that Krush fans have become accustomed to.
Also on the card is 3 members of Team Dragon, Krush 63kg champion Ryuji Kajiwara, Krush 60kg champion Hirotaka Urabe and Hideaki Yamazaki who are all taking on Chinese fighters. {jcomments on}

You'll be a definite fan of these sweet cinnamon dessert biscuits that are baked in a muffin pan.
Looking for a shortcut? A fast and easy way to cut butter into the flour mixture is to slice the butter into smaller pieces and place the pieces with the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in the bowl of a food processor. With a few quick pulses, the butter will be cut into the flour mixture perfectly.
Count to 10... mixing and kneading biscuit fan dough too much will make them tough.

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things
on Television
A Blipvert (a combination of "blip" and "advertisement")
compressed a 30-second commercial into three-seconds. Designed to keep
viewers from switching channels during commercials, the futuristic Network
23 used Blipverts to maintain its standing in a world gone mad over
television where a TV set had no off switch and the name of the game was
Bryce Lynch
Unfortunately, there was a side-effect to this new form of
advertisement. The Blipverts short-circuited the nervous system of inactive
people, causing an explosion from the built up electrical charges in their
sedentary bodies.
Network President, Mr. Grosberg (Charles Rocket) fearing
the lose of their major client, the Zik Zak Corporation (who used the three
second commercials), decided to continue with the Blipverts. As one
cold-hearted executive remarked "The only people inactive are the pensioned,
the sick and the unemployed. I mean, who really cares?"
Award winning
investigative reporter, Edison Carter (Matt Frewer) "answering the questions
other people are afraid to ask" penetrated the secret 13th floor of Network
23 with the help of his beautiful and talented controller, Theora Jones
(Amanda Pays), to discover what a Blipvert was and to reveal its
side-effects to his viewers.

Scholarship Gift Opportunities
Emersonians are a distinctive group of creative, talented individuals. Students come to Emerson for the hands-on programs, state-of-the-art technology, and world-class faculty. But, for many Emerson students, an education is not possible without the assistance of financial aid. This is where scholarship support becomes crucial.
When you help these students complete their Emerson experience, you not only show students they are a valuable part of the Emerson community, but you help relieve their financial burden after they graduate.
There are a number of ways to support scholarships at Emerson College:
Contribute to a Named Fund
There are many existing named funds that accept new gifts such as department-specific funds and the General Scholarship Fund. Visit our giving page and make your selection from the drop-down menu beneath "About Your Gift."
Establish a Term Scholarship
With a minimum commitment of $3,000 a year for at least five years, a donor can name a scholarship for a loved one and give preferential criteria. The gift amount is provided as scholarship aid each year, and the scholarship terminates when the gift payments end. Many term scholarship donors choose to endow their scholarship so it continues in perpetuity.
Establish an Endowed Scholarship
With a minimum gift of $100,000, a scholarship can be funded in perpetuity. The scholarship can carry a name important to the donor, and preference can be given to recipients who meet donor-specified criteria.
Trustee Diversity Scholarships
The Emerson College Board of Trustees has established a program to provide full scholarships to qualified students whose participation will enhance the College's diversity. Each such scholarship requires a minimum annual commitment of $30,000 for four years and may be endowed with a minimum gift of $1,000,000.
