Google I/O, the Mountain View company's tech extravaganza, kicks off in San Francisco today and while its not exactly official yet, it seems as if Google Music will be launched later today – but without the ability to purchase music directly.
The rumours of a cloud-based music streaming service from Google have been circulating for some time now and the Wall Street Journal and All Things D have both reported this morning that Google will launch the service later today – with All Things D even managing to get a Google exec to talk about the service. Users hoping to get a fully-featured music streaming service however will be disappointed as Jamie Rosenberg, Director of Android Product Management, confirmed to All Things D that users won't be offered a music store to purchase tracks after talks with record labels broke down. "A couple of the major labels were less focused on the innovative vision that we put forward, and more interested in an unreasonable and unsustainable set of business terms."
So what will Google's new service entail? Well according to the reports users will be able to store up to 20,000 tracks in the cloud and access them over the web on your desktop or any Android device whenever they like – and all for free. This service is comparable with Amazon's Cloud Drive service, launched only a couple of weeks ago. Google's service will also be able to automatically create playlists, a service Amazon failed to include in its Cloud Drive offering. Amazon's service only offers users 5GB of storage or about 2,000 tracks for free but users can upgrade to 20GB for a fee. Amazon does however offer the chance to purchase tracks directly from them, which are then stored in your music locker automatically. It is unclear whether or not Google will attempt to get the record labels back around the table to try and hammer out a deal but the Mountain View company must be disappointed it hasn't been able to release a fully-featured, cloud-based music streaming service before Apple unveils its offering.
As we said, this is still all unofficial but with the first keynote speech of Google I/O 2011 set for 5pm GMT this evening we will be reporting live on the event to bring you all the official details.
Source: All Things D and Wall Street Journal
Update: It's official, Music Beta by Google has been announced at Google I/O and will work pretty much as described in the earlier reports. One feature not previously mentioned is the ability to listen to some tracks while offline, either the most recent tracks you've listened to or predetermined lists of albums or artists. The service as we guessed will only be available in the States initially but fingers crossed for a wider roll out in the coming weeks/months.

Sandra Jose who we were currently saw in Mama Mapillai and her husband Sun Music anchor Prajin vanished from a shooting spot in Ooty. The couple of Sandra Jose and Prajin were in Ooty for a movie by the name Sutrula. Sandra Jose who is also famous in Malayalam as an actress recently got married to Prajin without the consent of the parents. This was because Sandra Jose came from a christian family and Prajin from a hindu family. It was also rumored that the couple did not see each other for two years when they were in love. It was love over the phone, filmy style for the couple.
Prajin also featured in a dance reality show called Jodi No 1 and also featured in Sun Music as an anchor. The movie Sutrula has been shot in Ooty for the last 27 days and the cast and crew were staying in a hotel. Prajin acts as an support artist and Sandra Jose as the friend of the lead actress in the movie. The shooting was to take place in Coonur when the couple Sandra Jose and Prajin were not to be seen. This prompted the shooting to be canceled as they were not at the hotel or any known place. The producer and director have launched a police complaint as well as a complaint at the cine actors and actresses association.
It remains to be seen if the disappearance of Sandra Jose and Pranin was because they already got their money or if it is for something else.

Costume Information
|Time Taken :
|1 hr
|On Sunday, I was walking around with my Strike Noir Helmet and someone came up to me and asked if it was Deathscythe (similar head design/colours).
This got me thinking.
As the October Expo falls on Halloween, what better than to see if I can get a Halloween themed Gundam ready.
Not sure if I can pull it off in time, and the Scythe will be an absolute pain as it looks huge!
Wish me luck
EDIT: Sorry guys. Don't think I can do this for October. I'm not even sure I'll be able to do my Strike Noir either. miruru is cosplaying something unusual to her regular cosplays, so she won't be able to help me in and out of the suit (or do any repairs) so I've opted for something a bit different.
Apologies for those who were looking forward to seeing this. I promise I will get a full Deathscythe done in the future. Just not this year. :(
GUH love you for this!
After being amazed by your fabulous Strike Noir - I'm really looking forward to seeing this in October =^_^=
And you asked for luck, so GOOD LUCK! *crosses paws*
lol i shouldnt expect anything less, sure this will be pro gl man
*bows* Well I think I'm in love right now.
Heck yes!
now this is INSANE! ^_^ have you put thaught into making it strong and more moble? :).. for the syth you could maybee make a frosted plexyglass shell filled with LED's :O might be a bit flimsy but it would make for a beutifull glow with a low weight value.
gundam heavyarms to gundam deathscythe, ya ready?
ANOTHER ONE!? You're on fireeeeee!
May I steal you for Duo & Deathscythe photos? :'D
Katt, you did the black Gundam at expo just passed, right? If this next one is half as good as that one, it'll be SUPER CHOCOLATELY COATED SUPER MEGA RARE EPIC AWESOME PIE...Yes...All that :P
Good luck mate :P
Thanks for all the support ^__^
@keir - I might use the same methods as my noir, but use a better glue gun to begin with. I'll also be reinforcing the FEET!!!!, frame, shell and wings. I'm not ready for the resin route yet (will be doing that for my next gundam)
Yeah, I thought about the plexi for the scythe. have plans for that, but not sure how it will pan out.
@ryaoki - Deathscythe prepping for launch. Please confirm status of Heavyarms, over
@CrystalNeko - I'm hoping to do this one on Sunday, so I'm up for some Duo/Deathscythe photos ^__^
@MasterJh117 - lol, if this one is half as good as my Strike Noir, then both feet will break, and not just the one >__<
@Pheebs - Thanks!! I'm gonna need it. Wings are gonna be a pain. Hopefully I've learnt my lesson with trying to concentrate too much on design, and not enough on build quality >__< Shame, I should have done Deathscythe instead of Noir, to co-inside with your Wing Zero. *shrugs*
Lolol just noticed that all your cosplays are mech based, you are like THE Gundam cosplayer of the UK!
LMAO. Only if I can get them done Pheebs, only if I can get them done.
I really hope you can get this done! I really look forward to seeing progress on this! You are going to be attacked by so many fan girls!
nice one man ^_^ i think resin / fiberglassing it would be way too heavy :P it all needs to be quite lightweight and moble :D.
omg i seriously want a nice new glue gun... that cannon @ the cosplay help desk was a BEAST!... sure beats the hell out of my 10 year old gluegun that spews glue from every crack and seme other than the one its supposed to come from. :"(
wow, this will be amazing ^^ cant wait to see progress~
Red Frame KAI initializing.. requesting partnership with Deathscythe. Over
Very awesome i can't wait to see this complete! DeathScythe Hell is one of my fav Gundam's!
Research Continues (Posted 1st June 2011)
I finally managed to pick up a 1/100 kit for this (only HG though), so I now have some decent reference material I can use. I will probably be building parts of this while I do Unicorn, as some of the construction will be similar. My only concerns will be how build and animate the active cloak :/
Construction Commences (Posted 6th June 2010)
I'm pretty much going to go a similar route to how I made Strike Noir.
Wish me luck :(

Canadian Soldiers Allowed to 'Fire First' in Iraq
Canadian soldiers in Iraq received the green light to shoot first if hostile intents are detected. Chief of Defence Staff General Jonathan Vance appeared before the House of Commons and said its soldiers are authorized to "engage a hostile act."
"The rules of engagement … allow Canadian forces to defend themselves, [to] anticipate their defence so they can engage a hostile act … or an intent before it materializes," Gen. Vance said. "In other words … we can anticipate to protect ourselves."
Although the authorization has been given for defensive purposes, the Canadian soldiers will now have the ability to take the first shot to avoid possible casualties.
Canadian soldiers have been on the ground in Iraq since the fall of 2014 and rules of engagement have been modified since then.
General Vance told the House of Commons that "the right of self defence is paramount."
Not a combat mission
The Department of National Defence is clear that it does not engage in offensive operations since it does not deliberately partake in offensive operations.
However, according to the Globe and Mail, "a spokesman for the Department of National Defence said soldiers have been in firefights with Islamic State opponents four times since the fall of 2014."
That said, the Canadian Special Operation Forces Command (CANSOFCOM) has been actively training Kurdish troops near the frontline in Northern Iraq. As trainers doing 'advise-and-assist' missions, it is possible for Canadian troops to come under fire due to its proximity to the front line.
Engaging the enemy for defensive purposes does not mean combat mission, however. It is clear in the rules of engagement (ROE) that Canadian have the right to defend themselves.
Following the ROE and defending yourself is not a combat mission.
Canada also approved its special forces operators to direct U.S.-led coalition airstrikes against Islamic State targets.
While the mission is not a combat mission, Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan couldn't give a specific timeline on the implementation of the Canadian plan against Islamic State.
"It's difficult to be able to predict how the plan will work," Sajjan said. "I'm hoping that the military plan will be effective so that the diplomacy and development plan can actually kick in … I'm hoping for next year. The earlier the better."
By having the ability to fire first, Canadian soldiers will have the opportunity to stop direct threats before being hit. The ROE will be very specific and will guide the soldiers' possible reaction on the ground, however. That said, firing first does not mean Canada will be engaged in offensive operations or combat missions.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|You only need to use the tack to test your current setup to see if can be inproved as going to to small a prop would make it worse and give you the abilty to run the motor at to MUCH RPM
I have a Faria outboard tach that I can connect to my motor, but I haven't mounted it yet. For some reason anything that requires me to drill holes in my boat takes a really long time to happen. I'd also like to think of some way to only power the tach when the outboard is running without needing to manually switch it on and off. The outboard doesn't have remote controls so there's no ignition key that would be a natural choice.
My boat is very similar to a J/24. Same LWL and draft and it's only 100 lbs heavier. About a 1.5' more freeboard and beam though. So the 8 HP motor is more than adequate to move the boat, even if the prop isn't the right fit. I could probably make do with a 4 or a 6, but the 8 is what the boat came with. And I like the electric start and alternator, which I don't think you can get on anyone's 4 HP and I don't think the 6 HP tohatsu has a real alternator. The two cylinder motor runs smoother too.
I guess the idea here is that less pitch means the motor will run at higher RPMs for a given throttle. So the goal is to get a prop with a small enough pitch to develop the max rated RPM at WOT, so you get the rated HP out of the engine. What's the issue with using a prop that has too little pitch? The motor will over rev? Or that one will lose top end speed? Is the speed loss possible for a sailboat or is that something only planing boat would have to worry about. I know if you calculate the pitch x the RPM at the prop you'll get a speed far faster than a displacement hull boat could possibly go.
|I have an 8hp two stroke Yamaha for our inflatable. I changed out the standard 8.5"X 7.5 pitch for a 6.5 pitch and we still get up on a plane and can do over 15 knots, so I don't think the 5" pitch would be too small for you at all.
The HT prop pushes more because it allows the motor to reach its rated RPM at which point it makes 8 HP
You would need some type of handheld or tiny-tack to get and idea what RPM your reaching to make a good prop pick as i know even when pushing my J24 the stock prop was way to big and the HT one for the 4-6 HP series was massively better
I have never had a whole lot of luck with the stoping part using and outboard
|My motor gets me up to speed fine. If my knotmeter can be believed I can just barely reach 7.00 kt under optimum conditions. Typical cruise speed would be around 6+ kt without towing a dinghy. I was hoping to get better control when docking and maybe better fuel economy with a high-thrust prop that hopefully slips less.
The Diameter 8..26 x Pitch 5.9999 pitch worked well on my 4Hp pushing a 29' 8000# Cal 29 at 4.5 knots
I make a phone call to a place like InternetOutboards as the 5" may be a bit small
Prop for 8 HP Tohatsu and 26' sailboat
I'm thinking of getting a high-thrust prop for my boat's outboard. The motor is a recent 4-stroke 8 HP Tohatsu and the boat is a San Juan 7.7, 26' LOA, 20' LWL and 3200 lbs design displacement. It has the standard 3 blade 8.5" x 7.5" pitch prop. Tohatsu has two high-thrust props available for the engine, 4 blade 8.7" in 5" and 7" pitch. Would either of these props be a better fit for my boat? And if so, which one?

Creepy ways advertisers find pregnant women on Facebook ...
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Privacy does not exist.
Stashed in: Women, Google!, Facebook!, The Web, Advertising, You are the product., Big Data Ethics and Privacy
You might not know that Facebook has more than 200 ways of tracking its users around the web.
AdAge says Facebook's advertising tool applies a hashtag to terms such as "morning sickness," "ultrasound" and "pregnancy test" and can then serve ads against them.
Café Mom VP-Marketing Kristina Tipton said her team has identified a Facebook audience of more than a million women who are likely to be pregnant or may have recently been so by anonymously targeting specific keywords that show up in users' conversations ... Ms. Tipton has been told by her Facebook rep that this process includes people who have mentioned the terms in their posts as well as users who have added those terms to their profile.
If this results in ads more relevant to its users, is this worse than Google showing pregnancy-related ads when someone searches for [pregnancy test]? (I suspect Google's policies would even allow that one-time revealed-preference to affect future ad presentations elsewhere as well.)
And Charles Duhigg's February NYTimes magazine story about Target showed even offline retailers have similar pregnancy-targeting capabilities.
What's the bright line rule that Facebook (or others) should use to know when using freely-offered information shouldn't be used for ad-targeting?
Google uses your search keywords on Google properties, not the whole Web.
Facebook uses a mix of Javascript, iframes, images, and cookies all over the Web.
Facebook's net-net is hundreds of trackers that watch what you read, click on, and buy.
Why not let the pregnancy ads be opt-in instead of spying on someone's web surfing?
Google has sensors of web visits everywhere via Analytics, AdSense/Doubleclick, other inserts (like their free hosting of static resources or +1 buttons) and from Google Toolbar users. I suspect Google thus has far more coverage and clicktrail data than Facebook. And of course Google was recently fined for circumventing Safari's third-party-cookie controls, as part of one of their advertising inserts.
Is there a clear standard that all companies doing the same thing could follow to know what's allowed?
(Also, the pregnancy-triggers originally mentioned seemed to be off of textual content people voluntarily entered at Facebook, not offsite clicktrails... that sounds a lot like Google's triggering off searches and GMail content. I'd say either both are creepy/over-the-line or neither is.)
There is not a clear standard.
I believe that one day there will be.
Someone just needs to lead. :)

Egyptians Turn to Vigilante Justice as Economy Worsens
A group of residents near the Egyptian town of Mahala shot dead a man suspected of stealing a truck on the same day that two other alleged thieves of a rickshaw were strung up by their feet, highlighting the nation's security vacuum.
The cases yesterday in the two Nile Delta towns, reported by the state-run Ahram Gate, occurred days after Egyptian authorities encouraged civilians to detain suspected criminals at a time when security forces have been largely absent from the streets, in some cases because they are on strike for better wages and equipment.
"In absence of adequate state security, people are killing and lynching suspected offenders," Nobel Laureate Mohamed ElBaradei, who is an opposition leader, said on his Twitter account. "Law and order is our immediate priority."
Vigilante incidents, increasingly common in the two years since Hosni Mubarak's ouster, have become symptomatic of the growing chaos in Egypt as President Mohamed Mursi struggles to revive an economy reeling from its slowest growth in two decades, rising inflation and dwindling foreign reserves.
"This is a natural reaction to the fact that people have been feeling insecure over the past two years," Ziad Akl, senior analyst at Al Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, said in a phone interview today.
On the day the suspected criminals were killed, the International Monetary Fund's top regional executive was in Cairo for what he termed "constructive" talks. The government is pushing ahead with a $4.8 billion loan request that has been stalled for months as officials revised an economic plan the IMF sought amid the chronic unrest in the Arab world's most populous nation.
Political Tumult
The economic challenges have mirrored the political tumult sweeping the country, as Mursi's leadership has been met with violence, demonstrations and growing polarization.
Critics contend he is more focused on advancing the Islamist agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood organization that fielded him for office than on promoting the nation's broader interests.
Mursi's plan to hold parliamentary elections beginning next month created new frictions, and on March 6 a lower court suspended the vote. A Supreme Administrative Court said yesterday the appeal filed by the government on the earlier ruling would be heard March 24.
Mursi has portrayed the vote as key to rebuilding state institutions and bolstering stability after the lower house of parliament was dissolved last year following a court order.
A top opposition group said it would boycott the vote, saying the country must be stabilized before elections are held.

So glad we called StorageMart to get a great storage unit with easy access at a great price.
Rhonda was very helpful. Facility was secure. Liked the fact that gates prevent tailgaters since you will need to know the code to open the gate when leaving.
It's the perfect place for my boyfriend and I to store things that would otherwise clutter the house! Best place around by far!
That's all I can say, the women I dealt with was so amazing and super friendly I kind of wish I need to store my things longer. Prices were phenomenal!
I pulled in just before closing time and the employee was willing to help me with what I needed. She went above and beyond, excellent customer service.
Had to get a storage unit at the last minute. Manager was extremely helpful and made sure I was taken care of. Thank you!
I had got a storage unit somewhere else and it was disgusting and smelt like a livestock action barn. Storage mart was able to get me a place for the same day and at a great price! I used their climate controlled environment and it was amazing. I highly recommend storage mart even if it is a little more expensive because of the quality of the facility and how secure it was!
Not a full month yet. Pros----Security, cleanliness, friendly cooperative manager. Cons---Price seems to be a little high compared to other facilities. Key pads need to be replaced.
If u are looking for a outstanding storage with great rates I know the place for u to go
Storage Mart is great and if you ever have a storage need I highly recommend the Rangeline location.
I thought they were very helpful and profesional
My move happened during a freaking ice storm, the unit i was booked for, was frozen shut, no matter what we tried we simply could not open it, the manager on duty opened the one next to it, and we moved our items in. Simply put, she did what she needed to do to help make our time sensitive move happen. The primary manager called me the next day to apologize for the frozen unit. Top rate...this location @ least is top rate.
a business that does what it says.

Gay community under attack in Liberia over Ebola outbreak
By Misha Hussain and Maria Caspani
DAKAR/NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Leroy Ponpon doesn't know whether to lock himself in his flat in Monrovia because of the deadly Ebola virus, or because he is gay. Christian churches' recent linking of the two have made life hell for him and hundreds of other gays.
Ponpon, an LGBT campaigner in the Liberian capital, says gays have been harassed, physically attacked and a few have had their cars smashed by people blaming them for the hemorrhagic fever, after religious leaders in Liberia said Ebola was a punishment from God for homosexuality.
"Since church ministers declared Ebola was a plague sent by God to punish sodomy in Liberia, the violence toward gays has escalated. They're even asking for the death penalty. We're living in fear," Ponpon told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by telephone from Monrovia.
Ebola has infected almost 10,000 people in West Africa since March, killing around half its victims. Liberia is the worst hit country where poverty, corruption and civil war have left a weak health system unable to cope with the exponential spread of the disease.
Some religious leaders have their own interpretation of the causes of Ebola.
Earlier this year, the Liberian Council of Churches said in a statement that God was angry with Liberians "over corruption and immoral acts" such as homosexuality, and that Ebola was a punishment.
In May, Archbishop Lewis Zeigler of the Catholic Church of Liberia said that "one of the major transgressions against God for which He may be punishing Liberia is the act of homosexuality," local media reported.
Francois Patuel, Amnesty International's representative in West Africa, said there had been reports of threats and violence against the LGBTI community in Monrovia since the incendiary remarks made by the local Christian leaders. Continued...

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks. After your comment and some stuff i've read in other threads i decided to go for the 151.
|I'm 5'5 @ 140lbs and ride a 156 mod rocker. My "fun" boards are 150 and smaller. If want fun/playful go with the 151 and turn those 180s into 360s
Rome Reverb Rocker 151 or 154 for my specs?
Height: 5'9"
Weight:140-145lbs (i know super skinny)
Boot size: 9.
I'm considering picking up last year's 2012/2013 Rome Reverb Rocker but can't decide which size to get, 151 or 154. The weight specs on last year's board are a little different than this year. For last year, the weight specs are:
151 cm: 125-185 lbs
154 cm: 150-215+ lbs
Honestly this seems a little off to me, the 2014 weight specs seems more in line with what i'm use to seeing but that's what the 2013 specs say.
Going by my weight I should opt for the 151 but i'm worried it will be too short. I know length is a personal preference but even then i would imagine it has it's limits.
My current board is a 2010 or 2011, 156 Rome Mod (full camber). All my past boards have been full camber but i wanted to try something more fun/playful. I'm mainly a all-mountain/groomer freestyle rider, like to hit the smaller jumps/kickers, ride switch, pop 180's...easy basic stuff. I don't do rails, boxes, halfpipe or large kickers. Oh, and i'm on the West Cost and ride in Tahoe.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well hello Jupiter

from the malaya:
FILIPINO business has come to accept corruption as a way of life, resulting in reduced enthusiasm in fighting it, Ramon del Rosario, chairman of the Makati Business Club, said yesterday.
Del Rosario, president and chief executive officer of Phinma, was reacting to the results of the 2007 SWS Business Survey on Corruption, which said that the scale of public sector corruption remains high in the country.
"Corruption is a fact of life but is something that should not be accepted to stay," Del Rosario said...
On fighting corruption, managers are willing to contribute 2 percent of their net income, down from 5 percent in 2006.
"The loss of interest in contributing to fight corruption may be traced to the fact that they do not see something is going to happen or be addressed, or because of the lack of visible results. This is why private sector should do its share by policing its ranks. True that some of us don't pay honest taxes... we also bribe. It is true that some keep more than one set of books... but we continue to monitor how we can identify how we can improve ourselves through rigid standards," Del Rosario said.
But i bet the issue of corruption will make a big comeback if somebody they don't like (Lacson? Binay?) will run for higher office.
Weder-weder lang yan.
UPDATE: ganito rin ang sinabi ni MLQ3:
Parties should fight over issues, you say? Before 1946, the issue was: independence now, or later? After 1946, the defining issue of any election is that uniquely Filipino expression, "graft and corruption": keep the current rascals, or replace them? Today, it's poverty and the lack of social justice. Every election has been fought on one of these issues. They're too broad, too simple, for you? Tough.
That's what you hear from the other side a lot too, nowadays. But before Edsa Dos, the issue was def "corruption." Doon natanggal si Erap. Even tho erap i think was about "poverty alleviation" before it was the cool thing to do. Hindi ba nag-improve ang economiya natin by 4.4% GDP in 2000 under erap, after the disastrous 1998 (due to asian financial crisis.)
Magaling talaga sila diokno, medalla at pardo, you have to admit.

Soaking Wet Insulation Batt
So we found soaking wet fiber glass insulation on some exterior walls.
We left a 5' section of wall exposed (no wall or insulation) for almost a year to monitor it for leaks.
We haven't witness any dampness on the brick or pudding.
After remove the entire 25' section of the wall, more wet insulation was found.
Can this wetness caused by condensation from poor vapor barrier installed and the walls sweating (we use a fire place in this room)? 2" insulation with the barrier not sealed at the top or bottom.
There are signs of efflorescence on some blocks but can they come from the condensation rather than a leak?
Didn't see any cracks on the blocks and mortar lines looks ok.
I will post some pics this morning.
I'd be up on the roof checking the crown and flashing on the chimmney and feeling for soft wood around the base of the chimmney.
Also look in the attic at the under side of the roof in that area for damage.
Effervesants tells me moisture from outside is getting in, not condensation.
Here are some pictures.
This picture below shows something was applied on the cinder block, whether its from when the house was built 30 years ago or when they finished the basement I don't know. But some is flaking off. You can see efflorescence.
This picture is of the same section of the wall at a different angle. The underside of the carpet is stained near the bottom left of the picture where the bottom brick looks like it has fracture marks.
This last pictures shows the other section of the wall with carpet stains but not very much evidence of efflorescence. The top section of the brick has some dark stain. The 2x4 bottom plate above the brick looks clean and dry.
There are holes in the mortar in the first course of the bricks, I think it might be created by pests move in and out of the basement walls and using the wet insulation as their habitat.
What do I do to confirm if this wall is leaking? :( We want to re-finish the wall again soon.
I have read a report that pro-long condensation can cause efflorescence but I don't know if I should believe it or not.
There is no brick, that's all concrete blocks. It should have been sealed on the outside not the inside. Looks like someone tryed to use a product like Dri-Loc or even paint or the inside to stop the leaks, not going to happen.
Take a picture of the outside of the house in that area.
sill plates under the window looks like they are stained.
are you sure you don't have leaks around windows?

|Official Title:
|R-21 Project: Screening Herbs for Drug Interference
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|August 2001
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|May 2004
The use of herbal medicines in the treatment of various medical and psychiatric conditions has accelerated in the last decade. It has also become evident that herbal medications are being used concomitantly with conventional prescription and over-the-counter medications. However, the systematic evaluation of the potential of these agents to interact with conventional medications has been generally neglected. Compounding this problem is the fact that even single entity herbal products can contain a multitude of naturally occurring chemicals which serve as candidates for potential herb-drug interactions by inhibiting or inducing specific hepatic isozymes. Numerous reports document the importance of pharmacokinetic interactions involving inhibition or induction of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme system. In this study, the ten most commonly used herbal products in the US will be systematically evaluated for inhibition of CYP 3A4 and 2136, and induction of CYP 3A4. Collectively, these enzyme systems are involved in the metabolism of approximately 80% of all marketed medications.
Participants in this study will receive a single dose of the prescription drug alprazolam and the over-the-counter cough suppressant, dextromethorphan on two occasions. A combination of probe drugs will be given to normal volunteers both in the absence and presence of herbal medications. The plasma and urine concentration of these agents and their respective metabolites will be determined in order to evaluate individual herbal products degree and specificity of enzyme inhibitory or inductive effects.
|Ages Eligible for Study:

Hello Guys,
I'm stopped in this phase. Now i'm waiting for that 15 minutes according to the documentation i've read.
By using the client to ping an local IP address I managed to get an ARP-request from the client side, but no matter what tkiptun-ng would not recognize a similar packet coming from the AP side. As the tool still is very much experimental I figure that there are still quite a few bugs to be worked out before the tool can be classed functional.
-Monkeys are like nature's humans.
Hello Guys,
I'm stopped in this phase. Now i'm waiting for that 15 minutes according to the documentation i've read.
I got a feeling your going to be waiting for longer than 15 minutes, what aircrack version are you using?
Sometimes I try to fit a 16-character string into an 8byte space, on purpose.
I have just updated aircrack-ng 1.0 rc2
Tkiptun-ng doesn't getting any ARP packet. What am I doing wrong?
I cloned ath1 MAC (to my own "victim" client mac) but after WPA handshake captured and
"Waiting for an ARP packet coming from the Client..." packets are coming but no ARP packet.
It still need some deauth attack against client to get ARP?
What do you think?
sorry for my english
I have exactly the same problem. I checked out and installed the latest (at the time of writing this) SVN revision 1657.
Had my MAC changed, everything should be OK... but still no ARP, not even after a full day of counting packets...
I would appreciate any insight on this one... Thank you!

Like Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet, director Michael Almereyda (of The Eternal, Hamlet previously) is taking on a contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare's lesser known Cymbeline. After directing Ethan Hawke in a similar style adaptation of Hamlet, Almereyda reteams with the Training Day star to amp up the tale of Romans and Celtics going head to head, this time with the aid of automatic weapons, explosions and a gritty cast of characters played by Ed Harris, Milla Jovovich, Anton Yelchin, Dakota Johnson. Benaroya Pictures describes the film in the vein of "Sons of Anarchy" and this first trailer supports that. Here's the first trailer for Michael Almereyda's Cymbeline from Ontd (via The Playlist): Cymbeline is directed by Michael Almereyda (Hamlet), based on William Shakespeare's original text. Ethan Hawke (Training Day, The Purge) stars in the film which unfolds as an epic battle between dirty cops and a drug »
- Ethan Anderton
31 July 2013 9:46 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Ethan Hawke will star in Michael Almereyda's modern day adaption of Wiliam Shakespeare's play "Cymbeline," with production starting Aug. 19 in New York City.
Producers are Anthony Katagas for Keep Your Head Productions and Michael Benaroya, who will fully finance through his banner Benaroya Pictures. Ben Sachs of Benaroya Pictures will exec produce.
International Film Trust, Benaroya's foreign sales arm, will handle international rights.
The film will portray a battle between dirty cops and a drug dealing biker gang set in a corruption-riddled 21st century America. Shakespeare's play centered on the daughter of the British king Cymbeline, who discovers she has secretly married a man raised in her father's court, resulting in his banishment from the court.
"Cymbeline" will re-team Almereyda with Hawke more than a decade after their collaboration on "Hamlet" in 2000. Almereyda's other credits include "Trance," "New Orleans, Mon Amour" and "Nadja."

ISTANBUL – Turkish protesters hunkered down in an Istanbul park Saturday, rejecting an olive branch the government had hoped would end two weeks of nationwide civil unrest.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's offer to halt the redevelopment of Gezi Park that first ignited the protests was presented as a major concession but after conferring all night the protesters said their movement was about something bigger than a conservation struggle.
"We will continue our resistance in the face of any injustice and unfairness taking place in our country," the Taksim Solidarity group, seen as most representative of the protesters, said in a statement. "This is only the beginning."
The decision looked set to inflame tensions a day after Erdogan offered to halt the Gezi Park redevelopment until a court ruled on its legality, his first major conciliatory gesture yet in a bid to end the biggest challenge to his Islamist-rooted government's decade-long rule.

I've been trying to sort out the status of all the level crossings from the various lists. Some are fully funded, others are funded for planning, and some are merely promises/pledges from the politicians.
I ended up going back to the ALCAM 2008 list, and working through which have already been grade separated, and which are now proposed.
The full list is below, and I'm sure will make for a riveting read (note also some footnotes at the bottom) but first a summary of what I found:
The ALCAM list included 1,872 crossings across Victoria. 180 are railway crossings in the metropolitan area. Another 5 are on the light rail lines to St Kilda and Port Melbourne. The rest are on non-metro lines (including on the Stony Point line, and V/Line areas within metropolitan Melbourne), so typically have much fewer rail services and less road and pedestrian traffic.
Of the 180 metropolitan crossings, 9 have already been grade-separated: 4 by Labor between 2007 [See note 8] and 2010, and 5 by the Coalition since then, leaving 171 level crossings around Melbourne (excluding light rail).
The most expensive funded or completed crossing by far is Main Road, St Albans, at $200 million. The cheapest was Kororoit Creek Road in Altona, at $48.5 million, which included road duplication, but no new station.
The average cost since 2007 is $130.1 million. Some have included new railway stations. Some such as the $173.9 million grade separation of Footscray Road in the Port of Melbourne area have included large-scale roadworks. (The project also included two much further down the priority list, and not counted as "Metro": Appleton Dock Road, ranked 1325 and Enterprise Road, ranked 651.)
More level crossing removals are currently fully-funded by the Coalition: 4 via the budget and 4 as part of the Dandenong rail project. A further 7 have planning or early works funding from the Coalition. [Update: In March 2015 the Coalition's Dandenong rail project was scrapped and replaced by Labor's version.]
Coalition claims
Strangely the Coalition has repeatedly claimed to have completed or commenced 40 grade separations. I can only count 5 completed, 4 fully funded in the budget, 4 via the Dandenong project, and 7 partially funded = 20.
The only possible way to get close to their claim is to include Regional Rail Link bridges, which are on a new line, so are not "level crossing removal" because there was never a level crossing there. There's also Christies Road on the Ballarat line, which is a road extension over an existing line, not on the RRL route but done as part of the project. Again, no level crossing has actually been removed, though at a stretch you might count all of these 13 as "grade separation". If you did, you'd also need to count three similar instances along the Epping to South Morang extension, funded by Labor.
(There are four river bridges on the RRL line as well, but they can't count as they don't involve roads or level crossings.)
So unless I'm missing something, the closest I can get to the Coalition's claim of 40 grade separations is 33.
I asked anonymous Coalition blogger SpringStSource about this some time ago, but have not had a reply. Since then the 40 claim hasn't been used as much, but was repeated by Coalition MP David Southwick at the MTF Glen Eira forum a couple of weeks ago, and tweeted by Treasurer Michael O'Brien last week as well.
The Vic Coalition Government is removing 40 level crossings across Melbourne, including Burke Rd, Glen Iris pic.twitter.com/gaFwEVBOCF #springst
— Michael O'Brien (@michaelobrienmp) September 17, 2014
Update: Michael O'Brien has advised me that funding was provided in the 2014-15 budget for investigating another 7 (as-yet unnamed) grade separations. From page 17 of the Budget Information Paper: Infrastructure Investment: $21 million in new funding provided in the 2014-15 Budget to commence planning for seven priority level crossing removals as the next stage of the Metro Level Crossing Blitz program.
Labor promises
Meanwhile Labor is pledging to remove 50, with 40 on their list from last year, and another 2 so far added.
Their priority list includes many (but not all) of the top crossings in the ALCAM list. They say they'd do this over 8 years (two terms), funded by sale of the Port.
All of the current 8 fully funded crossings are included on the list pledged by Labor so far. Effectively this means those 8 will happen no matter who wins the election… well, if whoever wins fulfils their promises.
Does this make Labor's pledge empty on those 8? Perhaps, though Labor pledged them before the Coalition funded them.
The top 300 crossings
Note the Location really refers to the types of trains, not where it is. Some "Non-Metro" are in Melbourne. The Risk Score is a formula based on a number of factors, including the likelihood of collisions; the number of trains, motor vehicles and pedestrians; and the consequence. See this document, section 4/page 3.
Note: This list is only the top 300 from the 2008 ALCAM list, which includes all of the Metro crossings. There are actually another 1,572 non-Metro crossings not included here. You can see them on the original document. The status of each crossing is as at September 2014.

Listen up open source developers, if you want your project to succeed you're going to have to do more than write great code; you're going to have to document it, teach new users how it works and provide real-world examples of what you can do with it.
That's the message from Jacob Kaplan-Moss, one of the creators of Django, a very successful open source, Python-based web framework. At least some Django's success can be attributed to its thorough documentation which is not just reference materials, but also includes tutorials, topical guides and even snippets of design philosophy.
Of course Django is not alone in having great documentation; Ruby on Rails is another highly successful open source project featuring great docs, tutorials and reference materials. Beginning to see a pattern? Great docs == happy, enthusiastic users == open source success.
Too often open source projects seem to turn up their nose at documentation, arguing that the code is well-commented or that developers should be able to figure it out for themselves — with the implicit suggestion that those who can't don't matter. That's fine for some projects, but if you want your code to be more than a random page on Github, you're going to need good documentation.
In an effort to help other projects improve their documentation, Kaplan-Moss has embarked on a series of articles outlining what he and the rest of Django's developers have learned from the countless hours spent creating and refining Django's docs.
While it's worth reading through the entire series (and there's more on the way), the basic message is quite simple: good documentation is more than just technical reference material.
What makes Django's documentation stand out (and Ruby on Rails as well) is that it covers the details as well as the high-level overview of how the details fit together. Kaplan-Moss breaks down the types of documentation into three basic categories:
- Tutorials — Tutorials are a great way to introduce users to your software and demonstrate high-level concepts in real world examples. Too many tutorials teach you little more than how to create a "hello world" script. Good tutorials should help your users actually build something, which is much more exciting for a new user than printing out a line or two of text. As Kaplan-Moss says "that rush of success as you work through a good tutorial will likely color your future opinions about the project." Tutorials are the best way to make a great first impression on your potential converts.
- Topical Guides — This is the real meat of good documentation and will be what users return to over and over again as they learn how to use your software. Kaplan-Moss' advice is to aim for comprehensiveness: "the reader ought to come away from a close read feeling very comfortable with the topic in question… they should feel that they know the vast majority of the possible options, and more importantly they should understand how all the concepts fit together."
- Reference — Sadly reference materials are in fact what passes for documentation in much of the open source world. That's not to demean reference guides; complete lists of class names and methods are absolutely necessary, but don't stop there. As Kaplan-Moss writes, "think of guides and reference as partners: guides give you the 'why,' and reference gives you the 'how.'"
If you'd like to see an example of well-done documentation that covers all these ideas, look no further than the Django Project website, which hosts all of Django's documentation. The Ruby on Rails community has also produced excellent documentation.
Kaplan-Moss has two more parts to his documentation series, one in which he delves into topics like writing well, developing a clear, grammatically correct style and another that focuses on editing.
Kaplan-Moss' post on technical style also covers things like markup and structural layout of documentation, since even the best documentation is useless if you can't find what you need. For example one of the best parts of Django's documentation is that every topic and reference page has a liberal dose of inline links that make it easy to jump from one section to another. While we wouldn't suggest using wiki software, the everything-is-a-link model of wikis makes a good starting point for marking up your online documentation.
One of the biggest hurdles for many open source projects is finding good writers to create documentation. While Kaplan-Moss has some suggestions for making yourself a better writer, many developers don't have the time to improve their writing skills. To that end we suggest paying close attention to your community.
Watch for blog posts from your users that offer tutorials or provide an in-depth at some aspect of your software. Contact the authors and see if you can incorporate their posts into the documentation. Give your users a chance to contribute not just code, but their understanding of the code — ask them to write more and make them a part of the project when appropriate.
Finally, perhaps the most important message of Kaplan-Moss' post is that ultimately… some documentation always trumps no documentation." Maybe your documentation isn't on par with Django or Ruby on Rails, but don't let that stop you from producing at least something. And be sure to check back with Kaplan-Moss' site for more articles on creating good docs for your project.

text: Project Description This is a new gas station with convenience store. The canopy over the gas dispensers is an open steel frame supporting bi-facial solar panels that are visible from below and an integral part of the design. The convenience store is a triangle in plan that is tucked into the corner of the property. The rear walls are black sandblasted cmu with no openings. The front of the building consists of sheets of frosted laminated glass that alternate between vertical and folded. The widths of the sheets vary. The glass on the sides of the folded sheets are clear, which affords slivers of views into the store. There is no exposed metal framing on the sheets of glass; you only see glass and caulking from the exterior, which was very difficult and expensive to achieve. It was engineered and fabricated by Novum Structures, which specializes in glass. The intent was that the glass would be reminiscent of cascading water. Along the entire length of the front of the building is a fountain with jets that are programed to create turbulence during the day, and a calmer wave pattern at night so that the lights would project a moving water pattern on the glass. This is especially dramatic from the inside of the store at night. There is no signage on the exterior of the building except a logo on the doors. There are grasses and reeds planted in front of the fountain, and a dense planting of bamboo along the sides of the property which will eventually be visible above the building and screen the station from the adjacent residential neighborhood. The landscape, designed by Jamie Schwentker, Schwentker-Watts Design, will be very lush as it fills in.

Latimore-Spinks Update!
The all St Louis showdown between Deandre Latimore and Corey Spinks for the vacant IBF Junior Middleweight title will be held in the Gateway City. Steve Smith, the long time promoter of Latimore, says Rumble Time/DiBella Entertainment and Don King Productions have come to terms on an agreement. The final details of a date, venue and a television deal for the fight are being wrapped up. The IBF has ordered the fight between Spinks and Latimore because of former Champion Verno Phillips decision last November to vacate the title to move to a different weight class. Currently the IBF has Spinks ranked as the top contender at #3. Latimore is the #5 contender in the Junior Middleweight division.
The title, St Louis Civil War Showdown, comes from Corey Spinks growing up in north St Louis while Latimore grew up in the south side of town. Smith says Deandre is preparing for this fight like no other fight he has had in his life so that he prove once and for all who is the best fighter in St. Louis. Latimore's trainer, Kenny Adams, who once trained Spinks, says he looks forward to the challenge of defeating Spinks who was a great champion.
A formal announcement for the late March or early April fight is expected shortly once the final details are worked out.

Otherwise, the owner of AEG would've been crazy to consider building a football stadium near L.A. Live...
Actually, with the stadium deal ratified by the city, L.A. may own the convention center, but it's managed by AEG.

It is a question, though I'm pretty sure the 2011 plans didn't block the South Hall, but the rally ran down to the street running underneath the skywalk bridge of the LACC, Pico Boulevard, and turned back up the loading area in front of West Hall. South Hall wasn't blocked, which is fine, but it still shoehorns us into one entrance point, one general area for gatherings, and it will choke traffic in and out of the event.

Kate Upton: New York Knicks Chick
Treating herself to a sporty evening, Kate Upton attended the New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat basketball game in New York City last night (January 9).
The "Other Woman" starlet looked to be in good spirits as she exited Madison Square Garden donning a lovely Theodora & Callum Berry Multi Chennai Wearable Art scarf teamed with a black jacket and black trousers.
In her new interview with V magazine, Kate admitted that she's not all that concerned with competition from her modeling peers.
"I don't compare myself with other models. For me, modeling is really about competing with yourself, becoming the best you can be. The truth is that I can't do facial expressions like [Coco Rocha] and others do. If I pull a goofy face, it doesn't look cute; I look like a dying animal. But I guess someone likes what I am doing."

LeBron James is a treasure.
Paul George-Gordon Hayward-Celtics rumor doesn't add up
Paul George reportedly wants to play with Gordon Hayward. George is also reportedly willing to join his desired team (universally accepted to be the Lakers) by means that don't guarantee the highest salary.
Could the Celtics – who are pursuing Hayward in free agency – leverage those conditions into getting George?
Adam Kauffman of 98.5 The Sports Hub:
I don't what George would do, but it'd be a MAJOR financial disadvantage to go this route.
There a couple ways it could happen – George getting extended-and-trade or George getting traded then signing an extension six months later. The latter would allow George to earn more than the former, but even if he pledged to sign an extension, would the Celtics trade for him knowing he'd have six months to change his mind if he doesn't like Boston as much as anticipated?
There's a bigger issue, anyway. Both extension routes would leave George earning far less than simply letting his contract expire then signing a new deal, either with his incumbent team or a new one.
Here's a representation of how much George could earn by:
- Letting his contract expire and re-signing (green)
- Letting his contract expire and signing elsewhere (purple)
- Getting traded and signing an extension six months later (gray)
- Signing an extend-and-trade (yellow)
|Expire & re-sign
|Expire & leave
|Trade, extend later
|$30.6 million
|$30.6 million
|$33.0 million
|$32.1 million
|$35.5 million
|$33.7 million
|$37.9 million
|$35.2 million
|$40.4 million
|$177.5 million
|$131.6 million
Firm numbers are used when it's just a calculation based on George's current contract. When necessary to project the 2018-19 salary cap, I rounded.
The Celtics could theoretically renegotiate-and-extend, but that would require cap room that almost certainly wouldn't exist after signing Hayward.
Simply, it's next to impossible to see this happening. It'd be too costly to George.
Dwyane Wade on why he exercised his player option: '24 million reasons'
Dwyane Wade said he wanted to see the Bulls' direction – winning now with Jimmy Butler or rebuilding? – before deciding on his $23.8 million player option for next season.
While Chicago was actively shopping Butler (before eventually trading him to the Timberwolves), Wade opted in, anyway.
David Aldridge of NBA.com:
This is most real answer answer you'll ever see. Props to Wade for his directness.
This also speaks to the unlikelihood of him accepting a buyout, no matter how poorly he fits with the rebuilding Bulls now – though maybe he'd accept a small pay cut to choose another team.
Medically risky prospects bring intrigue to 2017 NBA draft
ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla dubbed Indiana forward O.G. Anunoby, who was slipping through the first round, a "sexy blogger pick."
While I appreciate the compliment, Fraschilla was also right about another point: Those analyzing the draft for websites clearly valued Anunoby more than NBA teams. Fraschilla cited Anunoby's limited offense, but it's hard to get past Anunoby's knee injury as a primary reason he fell to the Raptors at No. 23.
The 76ers adjusted us to the idea of picking an injured player high in the draft, with Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid in recent years. Even though Ben Simmons was healthy when picked, a later injury that cost him his entire rookie year conditioned us to the idea that sometimes top rookies don't begin their pro careers ready to play.
But the 2017 NBA draft pushed back against that as a new norm. Most of the biggest tumblers on my board had injury concerns, from where I ranked them to where the went:
- 12. O.G. Anunoby, SF, Indiana – No. 23, Raptors
- 13. Harry Giles, PF, Duke – No. 20, Kings
- 18. Isaiah Hartenstein, PF, Zalgiris – No. 43, Rockets
- 19. Ike Anigbogu, C, UCLA – No. 47, Pacers
Anunoby had the aforementioned knee injury that even he, trying to paint himself in the most favorable light, said would cause him to miss some of the upcoming season. The strength of his game is a defensive versatility that would be undermined by a decline in athleticism.
Giles looked like a potential No. 1 pick in high school until three knee surgeries in three years derailed him. He was limited at Duke as a freshman, though reportedly acquitted himself in pre-draft workouts.
Hartenstein's and Anigbogu's medical issues were less widely know, but teams were apparently concerned.
Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress:
The 7-foot-1 Hartenstein is big enough to put a heavy load on his back. Just 19, he has nice vision as a passer and a developing outside shot that could allow him to spend more time on the perimeter and better take advantage of his passing.
Anigbogu was the youngest player drafted. He's big and strong and mobile and throws his body around like a wrecking ball. He must develop better awareness and maybe even some ball skills, but there's a path toward productivity.
Will these players blossom as hoped?
As I wrote when ranking Anunoby and Giles 12th and 13th before the draft, "I'm somewhat shooting in the dark" and "I'm mostly guessing here."
This is the disconnect between the public perception of these players' draft stocks and where they're actually selected. We don't have access to their medical records like teams do. We're operating with far less information.
Still, it's not as if teams always know how to interpret medical testing. Even with more information, this is hard.
I'm confident Anunoby, Giles, Hartenstein and Anigbogu would have gotten drafted higher with clean bills of health. So, this is an opportunity for the teams that drafted them. If the players stay healthy, they provide excellent value.
It's obviously also a risk. If the player can't get healthy, his value could quickly approach nil.
There are no certainties in the draft, but these four players present especially wide ranges of outcomes, which makes them among the more exciting picks to track in the years ahead.
Vlade Divac: Kings would have drafted De'Aaron Fox No. 1
I sense a pattern.
Like Celtics president Danny Ainge saying Boston would've drafted No. 3 pick Jayson Tatum No. 1 if it kept the top pick, Kings president Vlade Divac said Sacramento would've taken No. 5 pick De'Aaron Fox No. 1 if it had the top pick.
Divac, via James Ham of NBC Sports California:
"Screaming," Divac said about the reaction in the room to Fox falling in their lap. "It was a guy that we all loved and in some way, if we had the number 1 pick, he would've been our guy."
"De'Aaron is our future," Divac added.
The Kings are getting a lot of credit for drafting well. Maybe it's a good thing they didn't get the No. 1 pick, because it would have been foolish to pass on Markelle Fultz and Lonzo Ball (and others) for Fox. (The real punchline: Sacramento couldn't have won the lottery due to Divac's dumb salary dump with the 76ers giving Philadelphia the ability to swap picks.)
I don't believe the Kings would've actually taken Fox No. 1. This sounds like Divac embellishing, which can be no big deal. It also puts outsized expectations on Fox, for better or worse.

Hi all
I bought a set of One piece units for my E36 Saloon from Ultimate Lighting. They look great, I know some aren't keen, but on montreal blue they look smart.
Anyhow, I have fitted them and wired them up but for some reason the main beams don't work (i.e. the main lights). The side lights all work as do the Full beams and indicators, but not the main driving lights. I wondered if anyone had similar issues or could help?
Here is the link:
Many thanks

Jesse Kelly, the Republican nominee in Arizona's 8th congressional district best known for holding fundraisers with M16 automatic rifles, told an elderly gentleman at a campaign stop yesterday that health care is a "privilege" that people must "earn", not a right.
Kelly, who is running to fill Gabby Gifford's vacated seat — made the remarks while meeting with voters at the La Cholla Country Club yesterday. A senior citizen asked the candidate about his philosophical approach to health care and whether "health care is a right or a privilege?" Kelly hemmed and hawed before conceding that he believes health care "is a privilege to some extent." He went on to say that health care is one of those "privileges you earn."
