Viral meningitis (also known as aseptic or non-bacterial meningitis)
Meningitis is a disease that is caused by an infection or inflammation of the covering of the brain and spinal cord. Most people with meningitis have a fever, severe headache and often a stiff neck. It is impossible to tell by symptoms alone if the meningitis is caused by a virus, a bacterium, or more rarely a fungus or parasite. Viral meningitis is usually mild while bacterial meningitis is more severe and may need urgent treatment for the patient. One type of bacterial meningitis is known as meningococcal disease and is caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis. This bacterial disease requires treatment for the patient as well as medications for those in close contact with the patient.
Viruses are the most common cause of meningitis. Most viral meningitis cases are mild and patients recover fully. A large number of viruses can cause viral meningitis but most are caused by common viruses known as enteroviruses. Most people who come into contact with enteroviruses do not become ill or have only mild symptoms and only a few develop meningitis. The number of cases reported varies widely from year to year and in different locations.
Health care providers are required to report all cases of meningitis to their local health department.

"This was really good with a few adjustments....I didn't have enough chicken broth so I used left over turkey stock. I don't know if it was because of that but it needed a little extra seasoning. I added chicken cubes about 8. It also needed a little salt but other than that it was good. It could have been because of the turkey stock. Even still it was a huge hit with the family."
Reviewed Jan. 25, 2010
"This is so yummy! I made it just like the recipe said (other than using chicken instead of turkey). I took a batch to work and got compliments galore on it! Thanks for such a delicious recipe!!"

Ok, so I've been looking at this website for a few hours now, trying to decide whether or not I should try it out and see what it's all about.
I must say that the all the text about the website seems rather demanding.
I try to contribute to free software, I believe in free software, and if it is my choice to make I write free software, but I'm not well known in any circles because I'm an observer most of the time
So saying that I should only join if I can get to the level of Apprentice scares me, because nobody knows me here or anywhere else.
I thought I'd try anyway, though, so here I am.

Madison Memorial shocks Middleton
Shareef Smith's buzzer beater stuns Cardinals
MADISON, Wis. - Shareef Smith hit a three-point shot as time expired to give Madison Memorial a 62-60 win over Middleton in Big Eight boys basketball Thursday night.
Memorial led for most of the game, but with 10 seconds left, Middleton's Luke Schafer stole a pass and made a layup to give the Cardinals a 60-59 lead.
Middleton fans stormed the court, thinking the game was over. But two seconds still remained on the clock and the court was cleared for the deciding play.
Jester Weah inbounded to Smith, who calmly made the game-winning basket. Earlier this season, Smith hit a three-point shot in the final seconds to give Memorial a win at Sun Prairie.
It was the 19th straight win for Madison Memorial over Middleton in boys basketball. The Cardinals haven't beaten the Spartans since 2005.

Need an experienced opinion. Day 5 star up Planted 29 Gal
I am sure this has been coverd here before, sorry but I did find any info on planted tanks cycling.
Filter 200 marineland penguin bio filter
Used stress guard in reccomended amount at start up
Plants went in on day 2
2 swords 15" looking good
2 clumps of green cabomba growin 2" a day. WOW
Day 2 added 3 large zebra danio feisty little buggers
Day 5 added 3 smaller zebras hoping they would all just get along. One big one is a bully.
Fish seem to thriving and the plants as well.
I am on day 5,
Ph 7.5
Ammonia 1ppm
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
Appearance is slightly milky form an ice tea look 2-3 days ago, looks pretty clear and healthy.
Just got my API liquid test kit. And built some thicker batting filters with charcoal.
Is it cycled? I did not test till today for first time.
Are the plants stopping a cycle from completing?
I was thinking plants should have given me a huge shortcut and act as a nitrate nitrite absorber.image.jpgimage.jpg
I would like to increase the ammonia load without adding more fish to make sure it's cycled.
Can I put a piece of store bought shimp in to increase ammonia load? Like a pea size?
It's my daughters tank as a gift and want this to be a good experience from the start
Thanks in advance.
First do a 75% water change to bring that ammonia down to tolerable levels, then read this http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ad.php?t=36492
The only thing in that sticky I would change is don't bring the temp up so high, mid to upper 70's is the limit for the fish.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

.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
Do the suggested water change and review the sticky linked above, You have more than several weeks ahead of you before it is cycled.
Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

With the fish in the tank, you really need to keep on top of your ammonia level and make sure it doesn't go above .25ppm - it if does, you need to change the water to protect the fish. Do not add anymore fish until the cycle is completed. During the cycling process, you might not get a reading for nitrites if you are doing adequate water changes. Once you are cycled, the plants might keep the nitrates low but you still need to monitor them in case they go over 20ppm. As everyone else here has mentioned, cycling with fish takes a while because you can't let the ammonia go too high, therefore, it takes a little longer to grow the bacteria you want.

Table of Contents The 5 Best Portable AC Units EdgeStar AP14001HS EdgeStar AP8000W Koldfront PAC1401W Koldfront PAC801W EdgeStar AP12000S Top 10 Portable AC Units (updated…
Extreme Cool 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner & Heater
Description & Highlights
EdgeStar Extreme Cool 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner - Black
Coverage Area
The AP14001HS is equipped with 14,000 BTUs of cooling power and can effectively cool a room up to 525 square feet in size. This compact, yet powerful portable air conditioner is perfect for cooling bedrooms or small living spaces. The AP14001HS doubles as a heater to provide an extra boost of warmth on chilly nights and allows you to use the AP14001HS year round.
How to Install
- Step 1: Place window kit plate into window opening.
- Step 2: Slide plate to cover the width of the opening.
- Step 3: Close window to hold plate in place.
- Step 4: Attach exhaust hose to the unit.
- Step 5: Place the other end of the exhaust hose into the hole on the window plate.
To easily vent the portable air conditioner, the AP14001HS includes a window kit that can conveniently be fitted in windows that are 32" - 56" in size. For larger windows or use in sliding glass doors, purchase the APPK2010 kit which expands up to 83". Window kits for portable air conditioners take up much less space than installing a window air conditioner, which means you don't have to worry about blocking the light or view from your window.
Dual Hose
Separate intake and exhaust hoses allow for more air intake, cooling power, and more stable air pressure, which contributes to a 40% faster cooling rate.
Heat & Cool
The added heat function makes this unit versatile for year-round comfort.
Automatic Restart
The intelligent design auto restart function stores your selected settings so that in the event of a power failure the unit will restart just as before when the electricity comes back on.
Energy Efficient
A impressively high 11.2 EER, means the AP14001HS consumes significantly less energy than others in its class

All of the settings on the unit can be conveniently controlled from across the room via the remote control.
Condensate is expelled from the unit through the hose, but in more humid climates where moisture is more prevalent, the excess moisture can be drained through the drain in the back of the unit.
No Restriction
For spaces where window air units are not allowed, portable air conditioners are a great alternative as they do not protrude from the outside, allowing them to comply with building codes and HOA's.
Non-Permanent Installation
All you need is a place to vent the hot air and a standard electrical outlet, making installation hassle free.
Cut Costs
Instead of turning down your central A/C unit for that one room that is always a few degrees hotter than the rest, Portable ACs can be an efficient way to cool hot spots in your home without sacrificing your electricity bill.
User Friendly
Easy to connect and operate, portable air conditioners can be used wherever and whenever needed and easily moved or stored when not in use.
Optional Accessories

You are here
Ever noticed how you can tell immediately how someone feels about their house? When they introduce it with to-do lists and apologies, they've got a ways to go before they're satisfied. A descriptive tour paired with lots of history and provenance means they're proud to show it off.
Best of all though? The folks who open the door with a smile, and look as comfortable in their home as in their own skin. There's an ease about these folks, the kind you get from wearing a favorite sweater or settling into a beloved chair. These are people who love where they live.
As I mentioned last week, I'd like to bring you an inside peek at the houses I scout for Charleston Home, and there seemed no more appropriate place to start than with a spot I found last week in Riverland Terrace. Owner Betsy Warren opened the door wearing a gorgeous summer dress with big red flowers on it—it was just a "day dress" for her, but I remember thinking how much fun it would be to go dancing in that get-up.
Around 900 square feet, her house was just your average brick and dark-paneled cottage when she bought it. But Betsy, who I quickly learned has an extraordinary eye for design, envisioned this as her "dollhouse"—and immediately set out to make it just that. She went through and whitewashed all brick and wood surfaces, painted the floor a light green, and moved in perfectly sized and suited furnishings in soft blues and greens.
What did I love about this visit? Several things: one, watching Betsy in her house was inspiring. She was in love with it, and moved about like she'd lived there all her life. In a very short span of time, she created the nest she envisioned and did so with remarkable efficiency.
Second, it was one of those two-hour, kindred-spirits visits that I love. I learned that Betsy is from the Pacific Northwest, has an incredible vintage clothing collection, and is as adept at knowing what she wants and needs in a house as she is when acquiring a 1950s hand-painted shirtdress. We talked about life in cottages versus life in 2,000+ square-footers, color and comfort, and keeping a Southern garden.
Speaking of, that's what else I loved about the visit. Out back, she's fashioned a good old Southern lawn, with a fountain, honeysuckle, and a comfortable place to sit. It was pure nostalgia, a glimpse back to my old neighborhood in the 1970s. She's lucky I didn't plant myself there all day.
I can't wait to go back and bring you more—for now, check out my scouting shots in the photo gallery attached.


text: "The result: you can keep on pushing and the board won't go out of control. You can keep riding at 100% in tough conditions (chop / overpowered) when on others you would have had to slow down. Both great at upwind and across, it's on downwind courses where the iSonic could be caught up. Through jibes, there is more guidance, more stability, more speed and especially more exit speed. After multiple tests on both flat and chop, we found it to be the most competitive in its category, suitable to a very large audience, weekend warriors and long-distance addicts alike."

Something went off in my head today an dI realised I ahd never attempted to use the light / sound feature on either my Darth's TIE or regualr TIE. I popped in brand new batteries and of course nothing happened. I ahd purchased these off teh secendary amrket years ago, so who knows. The original owner probably wore them out.
It got me curious though. Is this common for the vinateg vehicles that had this feature? Does teh feature naturally deteriorate over time or is it just from overuse. Is there a way to clean it up or fix it so it works again?
Any help ont his would be appreciated.

My name is Eddie Coffey, and I was born and raised in the small fishing village of Cuslett, Placentia Bay.
I have 35 years' experience writing music, singing and playing for thousands of people over the years.
Many of you know my songs — "Grey Foggy Day," "Jack-of-All-Trades," and my signature song, "Sweet Forget Me Not."
This letter is an apology to my fans from Newfoundland and Labrador and across our country, the United States and all over the world, to let you know that I didn't let you down, Medipac did.
Medipac is a travel insurance company that sponsors the Canadian Snowbird Association Extravaganza.
Looking for answers
We have received emails from fans who want to know why we are not performing at the Canadian Snowbird Extravaganza in Florida, Texas and Arizona in February.
The emails we receive are from retired Canadian and United States veterans and civilians who have attended our many concerts.
We have performed for the Snowbirds, Sky hawks, the U.S. Blue Angels and the United States Thunderbirds.
We have letters of support from Prime Minister Stephen Harper, the Department of National Defence, the United States Congress and the Johnson Space Center, where 16,000 employees took in the show, and from Central Command headquarters, where Canada and 59 other countries have troops and families stationed.
We also have a letter of support from David Jacobson, U.S. ambassador to Canada, for my 9/11 tribute song "Attack on America," and for our support to all coalition forces.
My group and I are being boycotted and are not allowed to perform at the Canadian Snowbird Extravaganza, and we'd like to know why.
Each year for the past five years, we have followed protocol as instructed by the Medipac management team, sending CDs, DVDs and all related newspaper articles on who we are and what we have been doing for our troops and veterans and about our fundraising concerts for the Children's Miracle Network across North America.
What we got was total disrespect, and we were made to feel that all our volunteer work didn't mean a thing.
An official at Medipac even hung up on us.

Rhonda Stamp, one of my guitar players, contacted the Snowbird Association and spoke to the executive director.
He was very nice, but Medipac is the sponsor, so he advised her to write to the company's president and to its CEO.
To this day there has been no response.
To all my beloved fans and the thousands who were at our shows at Marine Atlantic in North Sydney, N.S., this summer, we will not be doing the Canadian Snowbird Extravaganza this winter.
We will be promoting Newfoundland and Labrador and Canada as a travel destination this winter in Florida.
Thanks for your support over the years.

NFL'13 Cherry Picks W5: Best Friends
Posted on 5 Oct 2013 by Steven Keys.
A Little Help Wondering why some of NFL's best QBs are struggling this 2013? The answer used to win championships ('64 CLE): a consistent run game. We all know the line: NFL's a quarterback league. Without a poised, savvy signal-caller under center, your team is, at best, just another playoff pretender, super-backs like DeMarco Murray or Alfred Morris, notwithstanding. That's not to say...

Extending from 155th Street to Dyckman Street, Washington Heights is home to some of the most interesting geographic features in Manhattan.
The neighborhood's lofty name is derived from the fact that—at 256 feet above sea level—it is situated at the highest point in Manhattan. Because of its steep inclines, numerous "step" streets (one of which has 130 stairs) connect one street to the next.
The population of Washington Heights is over 150,000.learn more about this neighborhood

2.32: Electrons
Watch out! Lightning is extremely dangerous. A single bolt of lightning can carry a billion volts of electricity. That's enough energy to light a 100-watt light bulb—for three months! As impressive as it is, lightning is nothing more than a sudden flow of extremely tiny particles. What are the particles that flow in a lightning bolt? The answer is electrons.
What Are Electrons?
Electrons are one of three main types of particles that make up atoms. The other two types are protons and neutrons. Unlike protons and neutrons, which consist of smaller, simpler particles, electrons are fundamental particles that do not consist of smaller particles. They are a type of fundamental particles called leptons. All leptons have an electric charge of -1 or 0. For an excellent video about electrons and other fundamental particles in atoms, go to this URL:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi91qyjuknM (7:44)
Properties of Electrons
Electrons are extremely small. The mass of an electron is only about 1/2000 the mass of a proton or neutron, so electrons contribute virtually nothing to the total mass of an atom. Electrons have an electric charge of -1, which is equal but opposite to the charge of proton, which is +1. All atoms have the same number of electrons as protons, so the positive and negative charges "cancel out," making atoms electrically neutral.
Where Are Electrons?
Unlike protons and neutrons, which are located inside the nucleus at the center of the atom, electrons are found outside the nucleus. Because opposite electric charges attract each other, negative electrons are attracted to the positive nucleus. This force of attraction keeps electrons constantly moving through the otherwise empty space around the nucleus. The Figure shown below is a common way to represent the structure of an atom. It shows the electron as a particle orbiting the nucleus, similar to the way that planets orbit the sun.
The atomic model above is useful for some purposes, but it's too simple when it comes to the location of electrons. In reality, it's impossible to say what path an electron will follow. Instead, it's only possible to describe the chances of finding an electron in a certain region around the nucleus. The region where an electron is most likely to be is called an orbital. Each orbital can have at most two electrons. Some orbitals, called S orbitals, are shaped like spheres, with the nucleus in the center. An S orbital is pictured in Figure below. Where the dots are denser, the chance of finding an electron is greater. Also pictured in Figure below is a P orbital. P orbitals are shaped like dumbbells, with the nucleus in the pinched part of the dumbbell. You can see animated, three-dimensional models of orbitals at the following URL.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-jNgq16jEY (1:37)
Q: How many electrons can there be in each type of orbital shown above?
A: There can be a maximum of two electrons in any orbital, regardless of its shape.
Q: Where is the nucleus in each orbital?
A: The nucleus is at the center of each orbital. It is in the middle of the sphere in the S orbital and in the pinched part of the P orbital.
What's Your Energy Level?
Electrons are located at fixed distances from the nucleus, called energy levels. You can see the first three energy levels in the Figure below. The diagram also shows the maximum possible number of electrons at each energy level.
- Electrons at lower energy levels, which are closer to the nucleus, have less energy. At the lowest energy level, which has the least energy, there is just one orbital, so this energy level has a maximum of two electrons.
- Only when a lower energy level is full are electrons added to the next higher energy level. Electrons at higher energy levels, which are farther from the nucleus, have more energy. They also have more orbitals and greater possible numbers of electrons.
- Electrons at the outermost energy level of an atom are called valence electrons. They determine many of the properties of an element. That's because these electrons are involved in chemical reactions with other atoms. Atoms may share or transfer valence electrons. Shared electrons bind atoms together to form chemical compounds.
You can see all of these ideas in action at the following URL (scroll down to the animation at the bottom of the Web page).
Q: If an atom has 12 electrons, how will they be distributed in energy levels?
A: The atom will have two electrons at the first energy level, eight at the second energy level, and the remaining two at the third energy level.
Q: Sometimes, an electron jumps from one energy level to another. How do you think this happens?
A: To change energy levels, an electron must either gain or lose energy. That's because electrons at higher energy levels have more energy than electrons at lower energy levels.
- Electrons are one of three main types of particles that make up the atom. They are extremely small and have an electric charge of -1. All atoms have the same number of electrons as protons.
- Negative electrons are attracted to the positive nucleus. This force of attraction keeps electrons constantly moving around the nucleus. The region where an electron is most likely to be found is called an orbital.
- Electrons are located at fixed distances from the nucleus, called energy levels. Electrons at lower energy levels have less energy than electrons at higher energy levels
- electron: Negatively charged atomic particle that moves around the nucleus of an atom.
Research the discovery of electrons at the following URLs, and then answer the questions below.
- Who discovered electrons? When were they discovered?
- Outline how electrons were discovered.
- What was the significance of the discovery of electrons?
- Where did Thomson think electrons were located in the atom? How does this differ from the modern view of electrons presented above?
- What are electrons?
- Compare and contrast electrons and protons.
- Sketch a model of a beryllium atom, which has four protons, five neutrons, and four electrons. Your model should include the placement of electrons at the appropriate energy levels.
- What are valence electrons? Why are they so important? How many valence electrons does a beryllium atom have (see question 3)?

Oceans Alive 2 is a unique super-nutrient from the ocean provides the body with an increase in residual energy that builds up significantly when it is ingested on a daily basis. With its abundance of naturally produced vitamins, minerals and original life force (absorbed directly from the Sun), everyone that partakes will enjoy a whole body inner strength.
A team of European doctors, microbiologists and botanists spent many years and millions of dollars researching 40,000 species of marine phytoplankton in the ocean. They did this, to determine the best species in each category to use for biofuel, aquaculture, exotic fish food and ultimately human consumption. Only four species of Marine Phytoplankton were found to be beneficial for human consumption. Based on nutritional profiles, one species was super beneficial and chosen for production.
As a result of this extensive research, technologically advanced commercial facilities have now been developed and constructed to produce raw marine phytoplankton in large volumes using sophisticated bio-reactors. The bio-reactors consist of extensive glass tubing interconnected in a horizontal grid the size of a football field. A 'Spring Bloom' environment is created that, allows natural photosynthesis to occur using, sunlight to grow the live marine phytoplankton bio-mass. The purified sea water solution in which the live marine phytoplankton grows, ensures that there are no other species contaminating the biomass. This method produces an absolutely pure, super concentrated nutrient.
Once the biomass reaches maturity, it is then harvested into a powerful centrifuge that spins the water out from around the cells but, leaves the water within the cells protecting the valuable life energy. The centrifuged biomass has the consistency of thick peanut butter. To create the Ocean's Alive liquid nutrient combination, the live raw marine phytoplankton biomass is transferred from the centrifuge and immediately blended into an ocean derived concentrated ionic trace mineral solution. This concentrated solution is highly beneficial to human health as it contains more than 90 ionic and trace minerals. Its produced using a natural evaporation process employing the sun and the wind which eliminates 93% of the sodium.
This purified ocean water concentrate has the power to preserve the raw live marine phytoplankton in suspended animation. This, protects the original life energy, allowing it to be bottled and stored at room temperature with no deterioration. The live blend is finally potentized energetically with its own frequency to maximize the nutritional life force!
The intense raw chlorophyll content in Ocean's Alive also increases oxygen uptake and higher oxygen uptake means more fuel to muscles, which translates to improved performance and endurance. With the smallest nano-particulate size of all microalgae, Oceans Alive delivers vital life energy at the DNA/Mitochondria level and also penetrates the blood/brain barrier feeding the higher master glands located deep in the brain stimulating significant mental clarity.
People that experience Oceans Alive are known to possibly enjoy enhanced brain function, improved immune function, antiviral/antifungal/antibacterial effects, improved cellular repair, radiation protection, cancer protection, detoxification support, anti-inflammatory support, antioxidant support, improved circulation, improved heart function and allergy/asthma relief. There are hundreds of references in text books detailing the vast array of human health benefits gained through the consumption of live raw marine phytoplankton.
Ocean's Alive Live Liquid Marine Phytoplankton is an original, live, whole, concentrated raw food requiring no refrigeration and comes packaged in 1 oz. cobalt blue glass bottles with droppers for easy dispensing.
Some possible traditional uses of Raw Liquid Marine Phytoplankton 2 may include:
● Excellent source of raw chlorophyll
● A gentle yet powerful energy that builds residually day by day
● Aids in whole body homeostasis
● May Assist to regulate blood sugar naturally
● Encourages vibrant & healthy looking skin

Before I begin to talk about this game, I would like to say a few things. Feedback is appreciated, but please don't react badly and call this a copy of Pokémon, which leads me onto the next part. This is not a copy of Pokémon at all. It has some features based of Pokémon, but a lot of the game is entirely different. Note this game will contain some mild violence, but I would rate it around 12+. Another thing, don't be immature and dish it all out, 'cause you may get it right back. If you can take it, then give it, otherwise, don't even say it. That's common sense mainly.
The world is an amazing place. However, far away, in possibly a different universe, another land sits. Another world sits. Another possibility of amazing life, never seen in a Earthling's eyes. These marvellous creatures are called Monsterra. They are amazing creatures, some powerful, some playful, and some just darn annoying. However, every single one of these are based around one. This 'one' was the creator. The creator of Time, Space and Life. This Monstrosity was called Arknell. Being the creator, it is the most powerful that ever existed. Arknell's job was to create the universe, and begin Life, Time and Space. He did that. He created Zeitlineal, ruler of Time, and Espace, ruler of Space. Then there was life to think about. He didn't know how it happened, but it did. In between Zeitlineal and Espace appeared a glowing light, and that light formed a little egg. In that egg, the final two of the Group of Five. The egg cracked, and outside appeared only one. It was Vita, the ruler of Life. Slowly, appeared what was meant to be the 5th, but instead, a ball of rock appeared, but slowly, it took form, and showed itself to be Erderra, or the Land Mover. Altogether, there was 5, Arknell, Zeitlineal, Espace, Vita and Erderra. The 5 split into two groups, Arknell, Zetlineal and Espace were called the Creation Trio, and Vita and Erderra were called the Earth Duet. They were the original five, and gained the name, Sacred Monsterrainsa, or Sacred Monsterra for short. Then, Zeitleneal created Time, Espace created Space, and Arknell loomed over, making sure everything was alright. Vita created life. Erderra couldn't do anything until Arknell created the earth. Erderra was punished severely for being impatient, and thus the 6th Sacred Monsterra was born, called Aqcuasser, the water creator, and land destroyer. But only now was the earth created. Land was formed, and Water was spread. However, there was no atmosphere, and so, the 7th Sacred Monsterra was born, it's name was Aeridon, or the Dragon of the North. It created clean air, and the layer protecting it from destruction, the Ozone Layer. Thus, the world of Monsterra was born.
Notice: To Prevent this post being huge, I have put the storyline into spoilers. It's not much right now, but it will be HUGE. Seriously, the storyline plot is huge, it could take a while reading it. I may attach it to a file though.

RE: profile.jpgAre you using PID to control the temperature?Have you considered adding a servo connected to the oven door to speed up the cool-down cycle? How about a fan?
as the probe is inside a metal sleeve, there does seem to be some inertia in the measurement now
I may well add PID processing - which should stop the overshoot

How To Add Borders To Pictures
Posted 16 November 2012 - 08:24 PM
Posted 16 November 2012 - 09:04 PM
Another method (which I prefer) is to make the stroke outline on its own layer. This will allow you to make changes to the stroke later, such as changing color or adding a style if you wish. To put a stroke on its own layer:
1. First make a direct selection on the photo layer (hold down the CTRL key and click on the thumbnail of the image in the layers palette) This puts marching ants around the photo.
2. Create a new blank layer above the photo layer and be sure this layer is active.
3. Go to Edit>Stroke Outline Selection... and create the stroke as above.
4. Press CTRL+D (or escape) to deselect the marching ants.
Now you'll be able to add a style, change color etc. Just remember if you want to move or re-size the photo, be sure to link the layers together. You could also merge the layers (CTRL+E), but then you won't be able to make changes to color or styles later.

Thanks so much for telling me this about the stroke being on the separate layer because I didn't know this!!!
It comes in very handy for making changes/adding styles to the stroke.

I think I figured it out... when I clicked on cntrl + the thumbnail in the layers I got the selection but these were not marching ants. It looked like frozen marching ants. So I clicked on the marquee tool and then "draw" around the picture, selecting it. It did the trick.
Hmmmm, I'm not sure why you were getting frozen marching ants. You may want to check and be sure the Preserve Transparency box at the bottom of the stroke box is unchecked.
In PSE 9, if you follow steps 1-4 in my post above, it should work for you. HTH

Hey diablod3. Current iRATE cvs versions have a different download strategy from 0.2. It now downloads based on a confugurable number of unrated tracks. For example my irate autodownloads if I have less than 3 unrated tracks.
There are no coding problems with doing a pure java mp3 player. In fact we have one already. The problem is that the pure java player requires a fairly advanced java vm. We try to make iRATE available as a free binary, produced by free tools. However, as of right now there are no free java vms that have adequate support for javasound api. The other issue is that pure-java anything requires a serious amount of CPU and I don't appreciate my laptop burning my lap because java needs a constant 30-50% of my cpu.
Regarding bittorment: we can't legally provide that right now. Problem is that we need explicit permission from artists before we can distribute their musi. Eventually we will mark freely-redistributable tracks and provide fancy ways of downloading those.
Resuming downloads. That one has been on my todo list for quite a while. Luckily cable makes it an optional feature :). Guess I'll implement it next time I have a chance to do some serious coding.
I'll chuck mp3-validation into if-there-is-absolutely-nothing-else-i-can-think-of-to-code pile. As of right now it's more work than it's worth.
By the way: help wanted. We need somebody to look after lots and lots of minor(or if the person chooses not-so-minor) coding issues.
Digital Music
jclement: I completely agree with you on the distribution problems with CDs. However there is yet another point that RIAA & friends are missing.
The hassle of buying CDs doesn't end at the store. There is still the problem of the CD getting boring and the effort needed to eventually admit that you've had enough of that cd and want to put another one in. There is also the effort of deciding what else you'd be willing to listen to. Then you have to figure out where you keep that replacement cd. Oh, CDs get damanged over time too!
Basicly, keeping music on CDs is a nightmare. I end up ripping all of the CDs that I buy. It's much more convenient to listen to playlists of hundreds of songs instead of 9. Of course once the CD is bought & ripped I've spent much more effort and money on obtaining it than I would've if I downloaded it off a p2p network.
Furthermore, after I've discovered iRATE, I'm having a real hard time even using a conventional mp3 player. I've grown used to having the computer figure out my taste, fetch me more music I like and filter out the crap. I believe that the future of music lies in such software.
From what I've read, iTunes deals with a lot of these issues too, but that product is much more conventional and is merely a slow evolution of the existing concept without anyof the innovative ideas that iRATE provides.
Obviously I am lazy and I am biased towards iRATE, but I'm sure there are people out there with similar frustrations to mine.

Beachscape, Erith Island II
oil on four canvases

Tate, London Presented by the artist's estate 2006
© estate of Fred Williams
Fred Williams and the artist Clifton Pugh visited Erith Island in Bass Strait in March of 1974 at the invitation of historians, Stephen Murray-Smith and Ian Turner. Williams produced a number of striking works inspired by the distinctive topography of Erith Island. Beachscape, Erith Island II is a major studio oil based in part on studies made in situ from the cliff-top vantage point of their hut. Here radiant colour is combined with expressive gesture. He used an assortment of blues and purples to indicate the water's varied depth, and contrasted this with the luminous yellow sand.
Here Williams continued to explore the aesthetic potential of multiple separate panels; a radical innovation that he adopted in Sorrento beachcape II five years earlier. With this format he suggests the creation, and recreation, of various 'temporary landscapes' in between the tidal movements. He hints at a human presence with trails of footprints in each panel as though wiped clean by the tide between painting one strip and the next. A tiny crucifix in the second panel from the top pays homage to a cabin boy lost at sea and the many shipwrecks in the waters of Bass Strait since the earliest voyages of discovery.

Sheez, they're getting awfully touchy out in Cupertino.
Last week, when Ellen Degeneres aired an innocent spoof of an iPhone ad on her talk show — in which she fumbled around on its touch keypad ("my fingers are so much thicker than I remember . . .") — the all-seeing Apple eye was watching. And it didn't like what it saw. Next day, having heard from the company, Ellen was apologizing on the air for making the iPhone look — imagine this — "hard to use."
You might think Apple would've been in a more magnanimous mood, having just announced the sale of its one millionth iPad. But the Silicon Valley–based behemoth had reasons to be on edge: news was leaking of a possible antitrust investigation into Apple's agreement with app developers — apparently aimed at shutting out Adobe's Flash and other third-party programs from its App Store — prompting unhappy comparisons to Microsoft in its bad-old monopolistic heyday.
And that was only the latest in a torrent of unflattering Apple stories. These days, Steve Jobs — whose company has a market cap, at around $215 billion, rivaling Redmond's — wears the black hat. His App Store censored political cartoonist Mark Fiore, rejecting his iPhone app because it "ridicules public figures" (though all was forgiven after Fiore went and won a Pulitzer, and Jobs personally admitted Apple's "mistake"). Bloggers refer to Apple's "Gestapo" tactics in tracking down a famously lost-and-found iPhone prototype — showing up at the home of the guy who discovered it and calling the cops to break down Gizmodo editor Jason Chen's door (after he wrote about it), seizing his computers. Even New York Times media columnist David Carr has gone from fanboy to scold, calling out the company's "churlishness" toward Adobe and comparing it to the Church of Scientology, "another nongovernmental organization preoccupied by secrecy."
Jon Stewart nailed it. He caught the rising anti-Apple wave with a now classic April 28 takedown. "Apple, you guys were the rebels, man, the underdogs!" Stewart cried, an ominously darkened Apple logo — and the word "Appholes" — looming behind him. "Remember back in 1984, you had those awesome ads about overthrowing Big Brother? Well, look in the mirror, man! . . . It wasn't supposed to be this way! Microsoft was supposed to be the evil one. But now you guys are busting down doors in Palo Alto while Commandant Gates is ridding the world of mosquitoes!"
No, it wasn't supposed to be this way. And you don't have to look as far back as 1984 to recall groovier times in the media's affair with Apple. April 3 — last month — will do. That's when the iPad launched and Jobs was supposed to be the good guy, riding in to rescue dying newspapers, magazines, and book publishers with his shiny new miracle machine, his "Jesus tablet." Quoting an "Apple insider" in the New Yorker's April 26 issue, Ken Auletta reported that "Jobs was pleased with his advocacy of publishers: 'He feels like he's their champion.' For the moment, Jobs is the publishers' best ally."
But in the weeks since the iPad launch, things have gotten way more complicated. And depending on what you read and where you read it, you might come away with vastly different ideas of what's at stake in the Apple story.

Snowboarding Forum - Snowboard Enthusiast Forums (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/forum.php)
- Boards (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/)
- - Question about my new board (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/boards/50068-question-about-my-new-board.html)
Question about my new board
I'm a relativly new female boarder, and I don't know much about all these new different types of technologies behind the boards. I started boarding a few years ago and didnt get a chance to go last year due to lack of snow and an injury. My last board was a full rocker by Lamar, and was a used board I got from my twin that was in decent condition. I spent most of my time on my butt so this year for my first new board I decided to get a moustache board with the cambers under my boots.
My question is: When I stand on my board, will my weight bring the cambers down to make it flat? And if so, does this mean theres more stored energy in the board for pops and jibs? When turning, does this means I will have uneven edge and more opportunity for catching it? If there's snow this year, I do plan on eventually trying park, but will probably stick to trils and groomers. This board I got is pretty flexible and very lightweight (total weight with boots and bindings on the board is about 17lbs) and made for women.
I probably should have asked this question before I got my board, but whatever :p ANY input will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: my bad, last board was a full camber, not a rocker....
Here is a good article discussing rocker vs camber For Those About To Rocker (We Salute You) - How To Choose The Right Rockered Snowboard
But a short answer is that yes, a full cambered board stores more energy. That results in more pop for jumps, more responsiveness in your turns. The bad parts of camber are that if doesn't float in powder like a rocker board. To get that float on a camber board, you need to set your stance back a bit. A camber is also harder to butter than a rocker board.
As for catching an edge, a camber board does increase the chances of catching an edge vs a rocker board. I started on a camber board and my second was a rocker. The difference to me was amazing. The rocker board was a lot more playful.
Any type of "mustache" board will be somewhere in-between camber and rocker. Rocker boards have less spring like "pop" action, but the tips don't push as hard into the snow and are less likely to catch.
Likeliness to catch an edge and amount of pop:
rocker < mustache < camber
I usually recommend rocker boards to beginners who only ride a few times a year, because it increases your comfort level with turning. The downside to this is that you can develop sloppy technique easier, so once you want a new more intermediate/aggressive board it can make it a "relearning" experience. They also don't want to grip as well on ice, so if you are on the east coast, it may not be the best option.
Getting the mustache ride is the way to go (as I see you have done), because of the nature of the board, you will need better technique to turn it (though not as much as full camber, a nice happy-medium) and it grips a bit better on the ice, especially if it is a Gnu, Roxy or NeverSummer board, whose grip tech, IMO, is the best out there.
If you started on a camber board and you switched to a hybrid rocker/camber (mustache) board, you should notice it to be a bit easier to turn (assuming they are similarly sized) and it should float better in powder.
The comments so far are very helpful thanks. I guess I should have gone for a bananna or rocker instead of the 2013 Womens Camp Seven Featherlite board. Here;s to hoping I win that contest so I can get a rocker to hold edge on ice!
Pretty sure the banana is full rocker? I haven't ridden a full rocker deck, but from what I've read, full rocker holds an edge the shittiest of the different types of rocker.
You got the best rocker profile, I do believe.
I was considering buying one of those boards & still might.
So I'm eagerly waiting for you to get a chance to ride that thing.
I wanna hear all about it.
Oh, & sign up for this. It's wicked, 30 free $40 gift certificates for tech shop service from Sportchek.
I have a full rocker board, and just like timmy said, it doesn't hold an edge as well as camber or a hybrid board. Taking what Bigmountain said, think of edge hold for boards like this: camber > hybrid > rocker.
I think the board you chose is a good choice since it will make carving a little easier, and you will be less likely to catch an edge vs a camber board. The board will also perform better on ice than a full rocker board.
Since I ride mostly in Ontario the cambered board works best out here on our average conditions of hard pack, ice, and crud. Those out west are so lucky with the quality snow you get. I ride the cambered board mostly when I'm here but on trips out west I don't use it much.
So you're saying I should have stuck with a cambered board even though I had a real hard time turning and catching edges? I wanted something looser and more flexible, and havent been able to find a cambered board that I like that fits that... or made for a woman... or in my budget for that matter.
I wouldn't overthink your decision, you've got the tradeoffs right, camber is a bit more demanding to ride but handles ice better. You made the right choice to make you riding more fun and catch edges less. Ride your new board for a while to get to know it, presumably you'll find it's looser, easier turning, and playful. And then on a demo day try out another cambered board or borrow or rent one, ideally when conditions are sub par. You can then decide how you want to manage that tradeoff. Lots of people run rockered boards in Ontario and are completely happy with it, they give up a bit of performance in crap conditions for more fun on average.
I agree with Lamps, you made the right choice. Easier turns, less edge catching, and it should handle decently on ice.

That's too bad about Digger. It's nice to hear about a fan achieving their dreams in this industry - as if I could get a job with Hasbro and help to realize corral skippers, skispray blastboat vehicles, and Yuuzhan Vong army builder action figures for a Star Wars EU line.
I met Digger once at Comic Con and he was a really cool guy. We talked for a bit.

These are in series 2 of the corgi Star Trek stuff in case I didn't show them before.
Oh, I know it's predictable that I'd ask, but I'll ask anyway:

Does anybody know if the upcoming WNMHGB Enterprise and The Cage Enterprise will have different phrases recorded for them? Also if the Battle Damaged WOK Enterprise and regular WOK will have different phrases as well? I really wish they had done a Reliant for the 25th anniversary. I would love to hear some Khan sounds like "FIIIIIRE!!!" "Full power! Damn you!" "Where's the override? THE OVERRIDE!" "To the last, I graple with thee... for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee" "I've done far worse than kill you. I've hurt you. And I wish to go on hurting you." "Marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet, buried alive... buried alive..."
Rick from NFC has mentioned on the Art Asylum board that the WNMHGB and Cage Enterprises will each have a unique sound chip in them, he's trying to get lists of all the phrases. Dunno about the WOK Enterprises though.
Since the BD WOK-prise is NFC's exclusive and is being produced at the same time as the regular WOK-prise, I don't think there would've been enough funding to put in a different sound chip.
Right now I'm just hoping the WOK-prise lights up as bright as the TOS Enterprise.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
I received the Cage version of 1701 today, nice ship. It in fact does have Christopher Pike as well as Kirk's standard voice. It also features both versions of Red alert, production and pilot.

People in California who don't properly restrain their children in vehicles can be ticketed for Vehicle Codes 27360 (ages 0-8 in the rear seat) or 27360.5 (ages 8-16). People who leave their children unattended in vehicles can be ticketed for Vehicle Code 15620. These tickets are citations given by either local (police or sheriff) or state (California Highway Patrol) law enforcement. Once cited for one of these violations, a person is either convicted or the citation is dismissed. If a person is convicted then the courts send this information to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and it's recorded as a conviction. (California DMV Conviction Data)
VOSP is providing conviction data from the DMV and citation data from the CHP on occupant protection related vehicle code violations for you to be able to see the results from your CPS collaborations and outreach activities. Use the information in all the vehicle codes provided to compare and contrast between years and across counties.
For an explanation of how to use the data in this site to help you to see how actively the CPS law is being enforced (citation data) and how actively the courts are fining the person found guilty of violating the law (conviction data), read our tips for interpreting this data and using it in your work.
Citations are issued by either local law enforcement such as the police or sheriff, or state law enforcement, the California Highway Patrol. The data provided here is only from the CHP and does not include all citations issued in your area. To get a more complete picture of all citations given in your area, you will need to work with local law enforcement agencies. You may or may not choose to do this. The intention in providing you CHP data is to give you some indication of the numbers of citations it takes to get some portion of CPS convictions, and thus the critical role that all law enforcement has in this collaboration.
The data provided here is listed by CHP Division. CHP Divisions do not match along county lines. Therefore you will need to determine which CHP Division areas fall within your county. The statewide table summarize the data by year, CHP Division and Area, and vehicle code.

Via Curbside Cycle Blog:
Best Bike Store 2009!Wow! Thanks NOW Magazine once again for once again giving us the 'critics pick' for Toronto's best bike store. Curbside is proof that in the case of Toronto bike culture, the citizens are ahead of the government. In the last five years we have romanced some of Toronto's most unlikely cyclists onto bikes that make them feel safe and fashionable. But fashion is one thing, safety another. The bikes we sell are safer than most, but more than ever, we need to get this city moving with its cycling infrastructure projects.
This year we are throwing all of our weight behind the Toronto Cyclists Union, and to start, we are throwing a Thank You party for all NOW readers. Featuring Juno award winning songster Andrew Rodriguez, male-burlesque performer Corey Swelling (who strips in an amazing 'bike mechanic' routine not to be missed!), and many more acts, we want to get all Curbside customers under one roof for a good night of fun. Cover charge is $5 and goes straight into the pocket of the Cyclists Union. So c'mon out!

Explore and relax on the more than 200 kilometres of white sand beaches stretching along the blue-and-green Caribbean Sea. In the state of Quintana Roo, you can splash and play in the waters home to the world's second-largest coral reef – a protected natural resource.
Just a 30-minute drive south of Cancun is the quaint fishing village of Puerto Morelos, a perfect spot for a peaceful holiday where you're able to easily buy the fresh catch of the day at the pier.
For the best strolling and shopping, head to the cosmopolitan beachside city of Playa del Carmen. It's filled with hip boutique hotels and pedestrian avenues offering plenty of souvenirs and other goodies. Just an hour's drive south of here (or two hours from Cancun), you'll find the laid back town of Tulum, offering seaside archaeological wonders, superb beaches and romantic hideaways.
The Riviera Maya's coastal jungle is home to huge adventure eco-parks, thriving wildlife and large archaeological sites of ancient Mayan civilizations. Explore these sites on excursions to places like the Sian Ka'an Biosphere just south of Tulum.
You'll also find a wide range of accommodations to suit any budget. All-inclusive resorts and boutique hotels are found in abundance along the coastline. Enjoy the beach and pools during the day, then watch Las Vegas-style shows with your family in the evening. Or, if you prefer, snuggle up in a hammock hanging next to the ocean, bordered only by breathtaking jungle.
Riviera Maya is a fantastic destination for:
- beaches
- romance
- culture and history

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
NARRATOR: What do you make of the dark, jagged shapes in the lower half of this canvas? Are they just patterns—abstractions? The painter Arthur Dove called the image Ferry Boat Wreck. With the title in mind, you can see that these shapes could be the broken timbers of a shipwreck. They're not pure abstractions, then, but they're not quite realistic either.When Dove made this painting in 1931, he had spent years living on a boat. He was painting the world around him, but in a non-representational way. He wrote: "I should like to take wind and water and sand as a motif and work with them. . . . It has to be simplified to color and force lines and substances." Notice how the gray sand on which the timbers are lying fades off into ripples of blue and gray toward the top of the image. Do you see them as rhythmic patterns, or as waves or water—or both? At the left side of the painting, Dove painted concentric circles—perhaps they represent the sun, or the moon. Or they may be the artist's way of portraying a sound—the warning sound of a foghorn, which the boat failed to heed.
