First, we run our botmatch test with the Texture Detail and World Detail settings set to their maximum (5). Since UT3 doesn't have any built-in AA or AF settings, we're avoiding that for now. There are driver-level tricks that will let you enable AA in your graphics driver, but we could only get this to work with the Nvidia cards right now. We're told better driver-enabled AA for the game is coming in future patches from both ATI and Nvidia, so we'll hold off on AA testing for a short while.
The GeForce 8800 GTX certainly runs the game faster than any of the other cards, but it's far more expensive. What's interesting is just how close the 8800 GT is—even at the currently inflated "hard to find for $300" price, it's way better bang for the buck. ATI isn't far behind with the Radeon HD 3870, which is a bit less expensive and a bit slower, though they have some driver work to do before the cards perform up to their potential. For a sub-$200 card, the 256MB Radeon HD 3850 doesn't do half bad, though you'll probably want to drop resolution or detail levels if you're using that card.
As we turn the graphics settings down from 5 to 3, we get big speedups across the board. In particular, the Radeon HD 3850 comes into its own, running the game quite well even at 1920×1200. This is a fast-action twitchy shooter that plays best with a very high frame rate, so you probably don't want to play at an extreme resolution of 2560×1600 without a really high-end card like the GeForce 8800 GTX.

After months of complaints by university groups and scientific organizations, the State Department is acting to speed up the delay-plagued visa process for foreign graduate students and post-doctoral researchers, an official said Tuesday.
The official, David Donahue, the deputy assistant secretary of state for consular services, said the department started attacking the backlog of requests on Friday. "I am not sure when we will get all of them cleared up," he said, but eventually routine requests should be dealt with in two weeks. He said the department had brought in extra staff to handle the applications and had revised procedures to speed reviews.
Albert H. Teich, the director of science and policy programs at the American Association for the Advancement of Science called the moves "very gratifying." Dr. Teich said he and representatives of the National Academy of Sciences, the Association of American Universities and other groups learned of the changes in a conference call last week.
Since last year, science and engineering researchers from abroad seeking to obtain or renew visas have routinely encountered delays of months. The problem became so acute that researchers who left the country often found themselves stranded abroad, not knowing when their visas might be approved.
The delays have caused problems for American universities, which rely on foreigners to fill slots in graduate and post-doctoral science and engineering programs. Foreign talent also fuels scientific and technical innovation in American laboratories, and the visa difficulties discouraged scientific organizations from holding meetings in the United States. Some researchers said the apparent reluctance of the United States to accept them encouraged them to seek work in other countries.
Mr. Donahue said the clearance process was important, especially as it related to "guarding against proliferation of science and technical information." But he said people in the department were unhappy about the delays. "We should not have been behind, but we will be glad to be caught up," he said.Continue reading the main story
Dr. Teich said he attributed the action to the Obama administration's support for scientific and technical research. But he added: "So far all we know is what they have said. Let us hope it takes place."
John P. Holdren, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, which helped develop the new procedures, said the United States should encourage researchers from other countries to employ their skills here.
"It is more important than ever that we remove unnecessary impediments to collaborative innovation and technical advancement," Dr. Holdren said.Continue reading the main story

Alan Quinlan: Brilliant achievement can kick Ireland onto next level
Everyone knows how difficult it is to beat South Africa in their own back yard. Their record speaks for itself but having played there myself, I have an even greater appreciation for what Ireland achieved on Saturday.
Down to 13 men at one stage during the first half, they easily could have buckled under the pressure but the character that they showed was brilliant and to a man, they each stood up and were counted.
It brought back memories of the win over Australia in Eden Park in 2011. The sheer heroics of the players means that the victory in Cape Town is right up there with our greatest ones.
When you consider the amount of top-class players that were unavailable to Joe Schmidt, it makes the achievement all the greater.
Andy Farrell has to take huge credit for the performance as well. We knew that he would improve Ireland's line-speed, and that was seen on Saturday.
Ireland got off the line much quicker than they have done in their last few games and when you're going up against such a physical side, it is imperative that you do so.
There was a very low tackle focus and that set the tone right throughout the side.
Defence is all about attitude and you need a coach that will inspire you get back off the ground, and along with a massive amount of respect, Farrell brings that.
The big talking point was how Paddy Jackson would handle the cauldron but he's been brilliant for Ulster all season and he carried that form through for Ireland with a fantastic performance that will give him huge confidence.
Jackson has had some tough experiences in a green jersey in the past but sometimes you have to go through those to get to the top.
I always felt that we were in with a chance if we matched them physically and got our set-piece right, which we did.
It almost seems unfair to single out one player but Conor Murray was outstanding.
His work-rate was phenomenal and the amount of ground he covered meant that Ireland were able to cope well with being a man down.
I didn't think it was a red card at the time and I haven't changed my mind now. It seems as if you can't jump in the air nowadays, and that's what CJ Stander did.
Pat Lambie left himself open in the way that he was going for the dinked kick. Stander obviously caught him but I didn't feel as if there was any intent there. The severity of the injury and the baying crowd definitely influenced the referee's decision.
There were shades of Jared Payne's red card for Ulster against Saracens two years ago and I'm sure this one will be looked at closely as well.
It could have unravelled from there but the determination of players will stand to them for the rest of the tour and beyond.
All last week South Africa spoke about wanting to play an expansive game-plan under Allister Coetzee but they seemed to be caught between two systems on Saturday.
The Springboks' strength has always been in their ball-carrying but they moved away from that and a lot of their play was far too lateral and disjointed.
They had no plan B, but even though they did butcher a few opportunities, take nothing away from Ireland's win.
The amount of self-belief that this will give guys cannot be understated.
It was the same during my time with Munster, when we won in France for the first time in 1999.
That was absolutely massive for us and I believe this win can have a similar effect on the Irish players.
Since the World Cup, the debate has been raging about the gap between the northern and southern hemisphere teams but with England and Ireland both winning down under on Saturday, it showed that maybe the gap is not as big as many believe.
The Springboks may be a team in transition but don't forget, so too are Ireland.
A different beast awaits this weekend but having got that first ever win on South African soil, Ireland certainly won't fear what lies ahead in Johannesburg on Saturday.

The flights were taking off and landing on Thursday, but resources at Calcutta airport were overstretched, almost to the point of snapping.
With nearly 3,000 employees joining the ceasework ' a protest against the Centre's decision to award the contract for modernising Mumbai and Delhi airports to private parties ' only a handful was left to shoulder the burden of the entire staff to ensure smooth flight operations.
'We are managing the situation somehow,' K. Ramalingam, Airports Authority of India (AAI) chairman, said over telephone from Delhi.
Officials said that since 10 am on Wednesday, when the agitation started, there has been no inspection of vital communication and navigation surveillance installations.
The radar, Instrument Landing System (ILS) on the runway and the Doppler Very High Frequency Omni Range and Distance Measuring Equipment (the last two are used to guide aircraft to the airport) have not been tended to for the past two days.
The gadgets are operated by air traffic control (ATC) personnel, but are maintained by the communication-technical wing of the airport. The officials of the wing are on a relay hunger strike in support of the agitation.
'Even if they wished to, they could not have discharged their duties as the drivers of the inspection vehicles are taking part in the ceasework,' an official pointed out.
Sources said several of the pylon lights, which illuminate the apron area, went out late in the evening. 'The lights cannot be repaired as the technical staff are not here,' the official added.
A measure of the authorities' desperation was the decision to ask ATC personnel ' whose job is to guide planes to, from and over the airport ' to look after the planes' parking as well.
Sources said that since Wednesday afternoon, when flight operations resumed after a suspension of more than five hours, ATC officials were guiding aircraft from the runway to the parking bay. The task is of the apron control staff.
With the agitation intensifying, the district police, CISF and the airport authorities met on Thursday morning to chalk out a coordination strategy for running the airport operations, said Vageesh Mishra, inspector-general of police (South Bengal).
The AAI Employees' Joint Federation organised a huge procession on the premises.
Parliamentarian Amitava Nandi (CPM) and other senior leaders addressed protest rallies. 'We will continue the agitation till the government changes its decision,' Nandi asserted.
The only solace was that flight services were normal, except for a few delays.
Sources said the authorities were planning to deploy staff of two neighbouring municipalities to clean the premises. The employees, on their part, are gearing up to foil the move.

Positional Pressure
Positioning is arguably the most important factor in any situation in Heroes of the Storm. It's what determines how much damage you take and deal, and whether or not you'll survive a fight. In this video, we discuss some tips about positioning from a Warrior's perspective.
- Position offensively when trying to contest an objective.
- Use your character's "body language" to play mind games with your opponent.
- You can use your positioning to try and scare away enemy Heroes that are trying to kill your teammates. Just by showing up, the pressure you cause can cause your enemy to leave a skirmish.

Nerina PallotLabel: Idaho Records
Release Date: 11 September 2015
Format: LP Vinyl
|Nerina Pallot The Sound And The Fury Limited Vinyl LP
The Sound And The Fury, Nerinas fifth album, is released on September 11th on her own Idaho Records. To describe the album as a departure from its four predecessors is something of an understatement. When Nerina says its her mid-life crisis album, shes only half joking. When she says it isnt her happiest collection of songs, she isnt kidding.
The album is as tempestuous as its title suggests. Its a bold, bluesy, Biblical storm, in turns restless, aggressive and defiant.
Sonically too theres been a shift. Inspired by Nerina and her producer (and husband) Andy Chatterleys collective electronic roots its atmosphere crackles with electronics, space is as vital as sound and textures matter as much as melodies. From the crackling, menacing electro-blues of opener This Is A Drum to spectral, reflective, electro-classical closer The Longest Memory, The Sound And The Fury is as beguiling beautiful as it is disturbingly dark.
Inspired by actual events and the emotions they evoked, The Sound And The Fury is an album of stories, from the city, from inside Nerinas mind, from weeks spent glued to the news. Its about love, loss and survival as much as any heartbreak album. Its about one woman and her fears for her family, but its also about where the world is at right now and where it will be in the future.
Featured Tracks:
1. There Is A Drum
2. Ain't Got Anything Left
3. Rousseau
4. If I Had A Girl
5. Boy On The Bus
6. Handle
7. Spirit Walks
8. Big White House
9. The Road
10. Blessed
11. Longest Memory

Local Windows Event Log Source
Set up a Local Windows Event Log Source to collect local events you would normally see in the Windows Event Viewer. Setting up a Local Windows Event Source is a quick process. There are no prerequisites for setting up the source, and you'll begin collecting logs within a minute or so.
Local Windows Event Log Sources are only for collecting Windows Event Logs. All other types of log sources need to be configured either as a Remote File Source or as a Local File Source.
To configure a Local Windows Event Log Source
- In Sumo Logic select Manage Data > Collection > Collection.
- Find the name of the installed collector to which you'd like to add a source. Click Add and then choose Add Source from the pop-up menu.
- Click Windows Event Log.
- Choose Local for Type of Windows Source.
- Set the following:
- Name. Type the name you'd like to display for the new source.
- Description is optional.
- Source Category. Enter a string used to tag the output collected from this source with searchable metadata. For example, typing web_apps tags all the logs from this source in the sourceCategory field, so running a search on _sourceCategory=web_apps would return logs from this source. For more information, see Metadata Naming Conventions.
- Windows Event Types. Select the event types you want to collect:
- Standard Event Channels. Select the main check box for all types, or individual check boxes for specific types (Security, Application, and/or System).
- Custom Event Channels to specify, in a comma-separated list, the channels you'd like to collect from. If you need help finding channels on the machine where the source is installed, see Windows Event Source Custom Channels.
- Metadata. Choose whether you would like the collector to minimize the amount of data collected by omitting the full message text of each event. Core metadata fields such as event ID, timestamp, user name, as well as the unformatted event data will still be present. This can reduce data usage and increase event throughput, but will prevent many dashboards and apps from correctly extracting data.
- Collection should begin. Choose how far back you'd like to begin collecting historical logs. For example, choose 7 days ago to begin collection with logs generated seven days ago. To begin more recently, choose 24 hours.
- Security Identifier. Newer collectors can map security identifiers (SIDs) to usernames. Choose:
- Both Security Identifier and Username
- Security Identifier Only
- Username Only
- Create any Processing Rules you'd like for the new Source.
- Click Save.
You can return to this dialog and edit the settings for the Source at any time.
Configuring sourceCategory using variables
If you have a Docker logs source on the same installed collector where you are configuring the new source, you can define the sourceCategory (and sourceHost, if the source supports that field) for the new source using system environment variables defined on the collector's host.
To do so, specify the environment variables to include the metadata field in this form:
Where VAR_NAME is an environment variable name, for example:
You can use multiple variables, for example:
{{sys.PATH}} - {{sys.YourEnvVar}}
You can incorporate text in the metadata expression, for example:
AnyTextYouWant {{sys.PATH}} - {{sys.YourEnvVar}}
If a user-defined variable doesn't exist, that portion of the metadata field will be blank.

(Presseportal openBroadcast) - Contacting an attorney immediately after an accident involving a serious or fatal injury is crucial. One well-respected firm based in Independence, Missouri seeks to educate the people throughout the states of Missouri, Kansas, and the Midwest about their legal rights following a serious accident. The firm, Horn Law , offers 24-hour legal consultation services and primarily focuses on cases that involved accidents that were caused by distracted drivers and resulted in injury or death.
Contacting an attorney shortly after youve been in an accident involving a distracted driver is important, especially before talking with insurance adjusters or other outside investigators.

I will make arrangements to meet with clients at their home, the hospital, or any other convenient location to provide them and their families with a free consultation of their case. This is an important first step in determining if legal representation is in the clients best interest, said Doug Horn, Founder and Lead Attorney at Horn Law.
In 2014, the United States Department of Transportation released a summary of statistical findings that stated, In 2013, there were 3,154 people killed and an estimated additional 424,000 injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers. These statistics are likely to continue rising as new, young drivers learn to drive in the technology era. Some of the most common causes for distracted driving include texting and emailing while behind the wheel, talking on the phone while driving, manipulating portable electronic devices while driving, eating and drinking while driving, and the driver taking their eyes off the road to read, navigate and adjust controls. While most states have a no texting while driving law in place, the number of accidents involving distracted drivers is still on the rise.

Art for Art-"sake"
I learned a huge lesson yesterday from my 7 year old daughter about keeping my focus on Art for the sake of
Just appreciating art.
Today we have to fight for the Arts……
There are so many things tied to the arts to be considered a curriculum that is worth while in the world of education. Not to mention just putting our foot down to STOP them from being cut! You name it we have it : From S.T.E.M. to S.T.E.A.M. to creating an integrated population of Math and Arts schools focused on why each of the two go hand and hand. Please do not misunderstand me though, I do appreciate these efforts greatly. However, I am starting to really question the perception of what art is? Did people have a knee jerk reaction to taking children to hear a symphony or to view the Mona Lisa that led them to complain about how they are "missing instructional time" years and years ago? Yikes!
So what did your daughter show you?
To start with I am very blessed with a family that has a true appreciation of the arts. What I mean is as an arts educator I DO NOT force my children to sing, draw, dance, or any other one area of "Artistic Education." I even dislike seeing myself type Artistic Education right now. I firmly believe in the arts and in "Arts in Education." But truth be told, my wife and I make sure that our children are exposed to the opportunity to be creative. Yes they sing! Yes they Dance! Yes they Draw! All of this is a true expression of their creative spirit and will never be extinguished!
Very often my daughter will ask me, "Daddy can we sit out front and sell my art?" I remember the very first time we did this. I was SO VERY AFRAID that just like that lemon aid stand that people drive right by — no one would stop and look at her art stand or pay her money for her creative impulse. I did not want her feelings or artistic confidence to be crushed. I was afraid and fear needs to be overcome. So I did! Well I think you know where this is going. I was wrong. People stopped and she made money. She is 7 years old and that first time made about 13 dollars for an hour worth of work selling her very own creations. I was proud and I was upset at myself for doubting her …… and I was emotionally transformed.
THANKFUL for wisdom from others.
I had a meeting with a colleague this past week and he talked about the top of blooms taxonomy (which is the one iconic visual entity that ALL educators recognize) being "creativity" and how exciting that should be. But he also focused on how amazing the idea that Art is beyond creative and that it is "transformative." This word was epic to me. He sighted experiences that he remembered throughout his life seeing works of art and listening to live music that literally changed the entire direction of who he became as a person and the life he lives daily! I started thinking about the very same transformative things in my life that were all Art for Art sake! They were not tied to some national standard or an experience that was pushed on me so that I would understand a math equation. I admired art at a very early age. I have proof of this from something a very wise 5th grade teacher did for us. She made us answer questions and put them in a time capsule that was hidden under ground and would only be opened two weeks before our senior graduation. One of the questions read "what do you want to be when you grow up?" Yes I still have the very paper which reads "A musician and someone that is allowed to create things with instruments."
The Hook for me.
Recently when we were sitting out front of our house selling my daughters artwork this is what happened:
1) I met neighbors that stopped even though we are separated by fences.
2) I learned about the history of the home we live in and the transformations of the neighborhood.
3) I saw people from all races, economic background, age, and life experiences stop their cars to make a 7 year old child feel good about her creative impulse.
And you know what? Not one of them asked about how she does on Math tests or what she wants to be when she grows up. They just smiled and said how beautiful her creations were. And then I felt that EPIC crack in the universe again and I thought this is Art for Art sake and she is experiencing a transformative moment.
I felt the effect of a 7 year old experiencing Art being in a community. We all know this is real. But we deny it daily. There is no community on the planet that is void of art.
At that very moment I was so thankful for the following:
- My Fifth Grade Teacher
- I had that day off from work to sell art with my daughter
- The weather was beautiful beautiful that day
- She kept asking me until I just knew it was what we had to due.
- Art – Creativity – The Ambitious mind and all of the people that fostered my love of Dance, Visual Art, Music, Poetry, and human Creativity.
This time she made about $10 dollars which was less than the las time. However, the part that got to me the most …… the part that made me cry was that she said, "Daddy I love making people happy with my Art."
Art for Art Sake

Boyo! Mission to Mars. Highly anticipated, highly dissappointing. Some bad movies cause uncontrollable laughter during the movie. Last Action Hero comes to mind. But Mars wasn't blessed with that
trait. Maybe I was routing for it. I didn't want it to make me laugh,
although it did in places. Maybe if I hadn't been in a sold-out opening

Tag Archives: Picking Welch Allyn Products
Otoscope and Ophthalmoscope Set Alternatives: Med School Supply
Welch Allyn is the leading manufacturer of otoscopes and ophthalmoscopes, however the quality is also reflected in their higher prices. While many medical students want to purchase top name-brand equipment, and indeed this should be the case for such instruments as stethoscopes, this strategy is not always needed for diagnostic kits. Here's the usual scenario: second year medical students from AMSA or some other group organize a "money-saving fundraiser" (let's ignore that blatant oxymoron) and only highlight larger, more expensive, name-brand companies. Often times there are even incentives to purchase the more expensive $500-$800 diagnostic sets to "save" on smaller instruments such as tuning forks or reflex hammers.
As mentioned in the Compare Welch Allyn series, it is incredibly important to talk to senior medical students at your school to ascertain the actual usage of instruments. This cannot be accurately assessed from manufacturer representatives, or even the second year medical students running the instrument sales. If third and fourth year students carry their diagnostic sets with them at all times, a Welch Allyn set may be more beneficial. If such diagnostic kits are used in a small handful of learning sessions that teach physical exam techniques during first and second years and are never utilized throughout the rest of medical school, we recommend the following.
The company Med School Supply (completely unrelated to this site despite the similar name) sells full-sized otoscope and ophthalmoscope sets for around $100. Their standard model works just fine, although their LED otoscope set is actually more highly recommended due to the brighter, better lighting it produces. You can clearly see the difference between their fiberoptic LED bulb and an older Welch Allyn halogen bulb in the top image of this article, and read more about the differences in the article How to Pick the Best Light Source.
Both kits work with standard otoscope tips, which means there is no reliance on this company for tips after purchasing one of their models. Like the Standard Otoscope in the Welch Allyn description, Med School Supply otoscopes use a groove system to hold tips internally. The ophthalmoscope uses the same halogen bulb for both kits, and is a solid basic model, without the bells and whistles as its WA counterpart. Unlike Welch Allyn, there is no built in rechargeable option for the handle. These models take two C batteries, and that will last the entirety of medical school for the average user.
It is important to note that this company does not have the same quality control standards as Welch Allyn, so it is possible for them to sell and ship a set with a suboptimal component. Nonetheless, they have a full lifetime warranty on all of their products, so any piece will be replaced free of charge with free return shipping at any point during your use of the instrument. For the $400 difference between this and the Welch Allyn version, some find this compensated downside to be more than tolerable.

Compare Welch Allyn Series: Building a Full Diagnostic Set
This is the sixth and final part of a series of posts on comparing Welch Allyn products that will help incoming first year medical students learn about and select different medical instrument components to construct the right Welch Allyn diagnostic set (otoscope and ophthalmoscope).
By now, you should have reviewed the other five articles in the series, and noted your preferences:

Trade-offs of Pricing and Usage
It is important to remember that many medical schools only require use of personal diagnostic sets while learning how to perform a physical exam during preclinical years. Many rotations will either not require use of these instruments, or provide them to medical students and staff if needed. You should contact senior medical students at your school to ascertain the usage of these instruments when considering the price. For minimal use, you may want to consider purchasing from another manufacturer entirely. It is also a common mistake for incoming med students to assume these instruments will be used after med school. Specialties that use these instruments have more expensive versions or wall mounted models, and many specialties won't need them at all.
Selecting Your Model
Most retailers do not carry all diagnostic kit combinations of the above Welch Allyn components. Most local companies will carry about 4 of the 75 total diagnostic kits manufactured by Welch Allyn, and that is actually sufficient for the large majority of med students. It is not uncommon for retailers to highlight the more expensive components, such as the PanOptic ophthalmoscope, and to list all other options by their model number. This can be a rather confusing selection process, which can be remedied below.
The following application is designed to assist in putting it all together and selecting the Welch Allyn diagnostic kit that is best suited for your needs and desires based on the results of the above articles. You may input your selections and the application will output the specific model number for your use with retailers. It will also output a list of the closest matches to your selection, in case your first choice is not carried by your retailer.

Compare Welch Allyn Series: How to Pick the Best Case
This is the second part of a series of posts on comparing Welch Allyn products that will help incoming first year medical students learn about and select different medical instrument components to construct the right Welch Allyn diagnostic kit (otoscope and ophthalmoscope). The focus of this discussion is on Welch Allyn diagnostic kit cases, which is one of the easier choices to make as it doesn't directly affect the use of your medical instruments.
The choices are straight forward: soft or hard casing. While many people instantly jump at the hard case, there are actually benefits and drawbacks to each.
First, let's look at the hard case, seen right, which are usually the default option offered upon purchasing a Welch Allyn diagnostic set. Hard cases are designed to provide a shell of hard plastic around your instruments, with some padding between the case itself and the instruments inside. As such, dropping your Welch Allyn kit in a hard case is more likely to prevent the actual instruments themselves from directly feeling the shock of the floor. The other great benefit is that the inside of the case is basically a molding of the instrument components, meaning each part has its own place, and everything stays organized.
The biggest downside is that the hard case is somewhat bulky. While it will fit into an empty white coat pocket, it will be somewhat of a tight fit to get the fabric around the corners. It goes without saying that most med students don't put too many other things in the white coat pocket that will carry their diagnostic kit, as it makes things difficult or impossible to fit everything. The downside of the organization benefit is that the molded inner casing essentially requires the user to organize everything before being able to close the case at all. Some people find this annoying, especially if they are in a rush or have only one hand free. It also means you can't really re-use the case for new or other instruments. Lastly, the side-zipper requires the user to remove the entire kit from their pocket and set it down on a table to open. It's rather difficult to access instruments directly from a pocket, or one-handed.
Now let's turn towards the soft case. Depending on the retailer, you may need to specially request a soft case if you so desire it, but keep in mind that Welch Allyn instruments will most likely fit into any standard soft case, even if it is not made by Welch Allyn. The biggest benefit of soft casing is that it is a bit more convenient to use. Instruments sit longitudinally inside the case, covered by a flexible padding layer, with an opening on top. The width of soft casing is thinner than the hard casing and without the hard corners, which means it easily slips into white coat pockets, even with other things in them. This flexibility and ability to squish into its surroundings also means it can even be slipped into pants pockets. This is incredibly useful on a Pediatrics clerkship where white coats are optional. The other big benefit is that the top opening allows for instruments to just be slipped in and out of the case while it's still in your pocket. No table for setup or organization time is needed. Just grab and drop back in when done. Lastly, it is important to mention that the open space inside the case means additional instruments can be placed within it. When I bring a diagnostic kit with a soft case, my tuning fork and reflex hammer are stored within it in one convenient package as well. Thinking ahead, new or upgraded instruments do not require a new soft case, as they can be re-used.
The downsides are just the opposites. Welch Allyn claims "both cases provide sufficient protection," but the truth is that the soft case will transmit impact with the floor more than the hard casing. It also means instruments are laying loose inside the soft case and can bump and rub against each other. This generally doesn't actually represent any threat to the instruments as Welch Allyn claims all of their instruments are incredibly durable, but it should be pointed out. As things are loose, grabbing otoscope tips that migrated to the bottom can be troublesome, but this is a moot point if you don't need to bring your own tips because the clinic supplies them.

Compare Welch Allyn Series: How to Pick the Best Battery and Handle
This is the first part of a series of posts on comparing Welch Allyn products that will help incoming first year medical students learn about and select different medical instrument components to construct the right Welch Allyn diagnostic kit (otoscope and ophthalmoscope). The focus of this discussion is on Welch Allyn diagnostic kit handles and power sources, which house the battery and provide power for the otoscope or ophthalmoscope head. If you're interested in the bottom-line short version, scroll to the bottom.
The easiest way to start is to say what you do NOT need, and that is the Welch Allyn Universal Desk Charger (seen right). These clunky things run upwards of $200 and represent the superfluous up-sell. The concept is good in theory, in that you can just drop your instruments into one of the holes to get it charged. As a med student on the wards, such a tactic is sub-optimal at best and a good way to get your gear stolen at worst. The actual handles have their own methods of charging which do not require this costly and unnecessary extension cord.
Now let's turn to the real decision: Welch Allyn NiCad or Lithium
Lightsaber power handle. Each one has its pros and cons, but understanding your use of your Welch Allyn diagnostic kit as a med student is what should really determine your buying trend. Most med schools only require you to purchase and use personal diagnostic kits during the teaching of physical exam techniques in the preclinical years, with very rare use in specific clinics during third and fourth year of medical school. You should ascertain usage patterns at your med school to make sure you don't jump at the high end model when it will only be used a handful of times for the entirety of your medical school training.
The Welch Allyn Nickel-Cadmium (NiCad) handle (shown left) is the baseline model that will serve as a cheaper but reliable power source. The NiCad battery inside can be recharged by plugging the handle directly into any wall socket. One of the biggest benefits of this power source over the Lithium below is that it can be converted to normal C-battery use. I have seen several med students forget to charge their handle, subsequently lose power in the middle of clinic, and then look really foolish for the rest of the day. With this model, having a couple of batteries in your bag means you can pop them in and keep going strong when the charge dies. This is especially ideal for developing countries with unpredictable electrical sources, should you decide to go abroad.
There are a couple of downsides to the NiCad battery. First, it is heavier than the Lithium handles. For most people, this is not significant and not an issue whatsoever. The only other consideration is that there are rumors (often times furthered by Welch Allyn representatives) that NiCad batteries in general may experience "charge memory" or "memory effect." This refers to a historic observation that NiCad batteries will remember the point at which you charge them as "empty," thus not utilizing the full capacity. Most modern observations of this effect require over 1000 charges and partial-discharges for this to actually take effect. Suffice it to say, I have never heard of any medical student or resident complain about their NiCad handle losing charge time, and this may possibly by a result of the overall infrequency of use. Many medical students can get through all of medical school on just one set of 2 C batteries in their diagnostic kit.
Next we have the "superior" (read: more expensive) option, the Lithium Ion battery powered Welch Allyn diagnostic kit handle. This is one of their up-sells, advertised as "twice the battery life with just half the weight." It mostly speaks for itself, but there are a few considerations. Like the NiCad handle, it can be plugged into any electrical outlet via the hidden electrical AC plug within the handle. However this handle cannot be converted to use C batteries. In other words, when you run out of juice in this thing, you're done until you can charge it in the wall again. Again, keep in mind that a full charge will get you pretty far, so weigh things based on your schools requirements. Another possibly-insignificant difference with this handle is that the green push-and-twist power button is on the side of the handle itself instead of on the top edge. There's really no difference in ease of use.
In summary, the direct comparison is as follows:
|Approx. Price
|Battery Life
|Compare Weight
|Recharge Options
|Nickel Cadmium
|~60 minutes
|less light
|Wall Outlet or C Batteries
|Lithium Ion
|~120 minutes
|Wall Outlet only
Still can't decide? Let us help! Check all that apply:
|My med school requires infrequent usage of diagnostic kits.
|Money is of no concern in the purchase of my instruments.
|I have a habit of losing things easily.
|I have a habit of forgetting to charge my cell phone.
|I want to learn physical exam techniques using the absolute best equipment at my disposal.
|I want to look like a jedi.

In this tutorial, I will show how you can handle the optical sensor inside a cheap optical-mouse for your next microcontroller project. Hope, this will allow your preferred microcontroller to look at the mouse inputs, detect surface movements, measure surface speed, etc.
For the experiment, I opened an old usb optical mouse made by Belkin. The major component in the mouse is the ADNS-2610 Optical Mouse Sensor. There is also a controller/interface chip (HT82M99E), three microswitches, a quadrature encoder, and a red LED for surface illumination.
The ADNS-2610 is a small form factor optical mouse sensor based on optical navigation technology, which measures changes in position by optically acquiring sequential surface images (frames) and mathematically determining the direction and magnitude of movement. The sensor – from AVAGO – is housed in an 8-pin staggered dual inline package. The output format is a two wire serial port. The current X and Y information are available in registers accessed via the serial port. Resolution is 400 counts per inch (cpi) with rates of motion up to 12 inches per second (ips). Note that ADNS-2610 contains an Image Acquisition System (IAS), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) and a two wire serial port!
For hacking or other experiments, we only need just two connections of the ADNS-2610 sensor (pin 3 & pin 4), in addition to the power supply (pin 7 & pin 6) terminals. A proven way to carry out this, is to extend two wires from pins 3 & 4 (SDIO & SCK) of the optical mouse sensor, and route power supply (VCC & GND) to the circuit board through the existing power supply lines marked in the printed circuit board. Remember to isolate pins 3 & 4 of ADNS-2610 from the interface/controller chip (so that the signals from the sensor pass straight through) by cutting the interconnecting copper tracks of the circuit board (refer the figure shown below). Beware, the optical mouse sensor and the LED were covered with a black protective cap. Take it off carefully!
An easy wiring method is the pretty straight forward layman's trick. Solder wires to the four terminals of the sensor as indicated here. However, it is advisable that normal static precautions should be taken while handling this to prevent damage and/or degradation of the sensor which may be induced by ESD.
Continue To Tinker…
Yes, you can visualize optical mouse sensor data using Arduino and Processing! The Arduino code serves as a bridge between the optical mouse sensor and the PC. The Processing sketch communicates to the Arduino over the serial port and implements visualisation of the sensor data. You can find related stuff elsewhere, and here is one amazing example thrilled me a lot: https://code.google.com/p/optimouse/
If you open a standard optical mouse you will most likely find two chips inside one being a general purpose interface/controller chip and the other an optical mouse sensor. The sensor captures images of the surface below the mouse at high frame rate (1500 frames per second in the Avago ADNS2610 sensor). It uses captured images to calculate the displacement the mouse is moved over time. Incidentally, it is also able to provide the raw image data. If your mouse holds a different sensor, don't worry too much because they are all much alike to some extent. With a bit of luck, you can work with other optical mouse sensors like PAN3101, as well.

Data Released: Mar 25, 2016
It's everyone's favourite fantasy, a couple of topless labourers, working on your house, working up a sweat and a whole lot of sexual energy they can't control. These young men are exactly that, cute, smooth and with some delicious dicks they can't get enough of! Cute-faced Tom gets his dick worshipped by blond Sam, who seems to love nothing more than a hard dick in his mouth! Moving his young fuck mate over to the ladders, they are perfectly positioned for an acrobatic fuck. Squatting astride them both, Sam is able to get free access to his mates hole, sliding in and out. Tom is in no position to stop him, but who would want to? This angle lets us see exactly how long Sam's dick is as it disappears inside Tom. Showing his gratitude for practically having his brains fucked out, Tom squirts a great load of jizz onto Sam's sexy face, leaving Tom to get covered in Sam's juice. A hot bottom covered in cum. Perfect!

It's in those times, when you're ready to do a full-on overhaul; because nothing you've done seems right, when you have to ask yourself the hard questions: "Who am I? …Do I even have a style?" It's as if all the sudden, or actually maybe it's been progressively happening for a while… anyway it is in this moment… that I admit I can't stand the color of my kitchen!
Oh sure, like half of America, I've been watching Fixer Upper. And I've convinced myself that unless Chip and JoJo Gaines come and do a complete renovation; tear down walls, access all natural light and put up as much shiplap as we can find, my home will never be complete. Of course, without any real experience taking care of animals, I consider myself to be a farm girl. So naturally I have a tendency to think my home should resemble a farmhouse… But in reality I'm far more traditional (and my backyard is more pool than lawn). I do appreciate country decor; primitive, traditional and inspired by folk art. I really love English Cottage. I can be carried away by the contrasting elegant and rural touches of French Country… the idea of a beautiful chandelier with tear drop glass prisms over a rustic farm table. Swoon. I've been known to walk out of Pier I with curtains replicating fabrics straight out of Bombay. I love my traditional Irish plaid wool blanket we brought home from the Emerald Isle (it's my favorite throw for the back of our rocker)! Maybe my "look" is considered eclectic? But I don't want to be eclectic! What does that really mean anyway? Hodgepodge-esque? (Which is even more upsetting when you add in that on any given day I'm really inclined to feel like I live in a toy store!)
Thankfully, before I got too crazy, my mother talked me out of painting all of the refurbished brick in my living room around the fireplace. It seemed far less permanent to paint the walls a trendy light blue/gray. So in true DIY form I put down drop cloths and rolled out a color coating adjacent to the brick, and fortunately I only covered 1 and half walls before I came to my senses and realized I hated it. It's sooo bad. Ugh! But I really like the black cast-iron-ish paint we put over the out-dated brass fireplace frame. And I love the darker stain I put on the mantle. Baby steps. Slowly I'm figuring it out, I'm thinking I am Country Cottage (it makes sense in my head)… and soon I will tackle that kitchen.

Are we to see the death of printed advertising?
Cindy Taylor
We're besieged by reports of dwindling figures and the predictions that the onset of the Digital Age will certainly ensure the slow death of print. If we look at reading material for a brief moment; how the newspaper industry, in existence since the 17th Century, must have quaked with the advent of new media like radio and television. Did newspapers disappear? No, they soldiered on. The recurring phrase in all research available on the issue is: People like to hold paper, they like to touch. And they like to keep stuff.
The internet has created a new, alternative, media, yes. And, it offers novel opportunities to talk to your target market, and promote yourself.
But, as for printed advertising? I believe that as time goes by, it will retain its importance in the marketing mix. In fact, I believe it will become more segmented and targeted, as the media that contain it and thrive on it, will continue to be forced to evolve.
Advertising in itself has evolved greatly; where its purpose was once simply to tell consumers to "Drink Horlicks", we now want have CRM campaigns. We want to build databases, so that we know if they did, in fact, drink the Horlicks and what they made of the experience, so that we can talk to them again and tell them we know of the perfect biscuit to have with their next cup.
I spoke to Sally Meiring, MD of Republic Of Design, about it and she tells me that her creative team have embraced the changes and see them as a challenge, especially in the experiential arena. "Look at POP and POS as an example, the possibilities for exciting and fresh work are endless. And while it may be quick and easy to search the web for a guesthouse, a dentist or a good school for your kids; you're always going to want more information and tangible proof that your choice is the correct one for you. I don't see the brochure, the business card or the printed stationery ever dying."
Our interview ended and I left with a slim package, a CD. The elegantly designed and beautifully printed cover indicated that it was an invitation to a product launch her agency was handling. When I slipped it into my computer back at the office, it not only contained the relevant information on the event with a catchy sound track, but allowed me to RSVP there and then. My ticket arrived by courier the next day. I wonder if I would have attended the event if I'd received the invitation by means of yet another 'click here' email?
Yes, I am glad to conclude that printed advertising will never die. I think it's going to be quite exciting to watch its Renaissance!

OK. It's been a while, but I think it's time to get back on the horse – and why not do it with a game from a genre that I don't actually get to play that much: RPGs? While I do love that immersive, let's get together and tell ourselves a story way of playing, it's actually pretty hard to pin me down and play anything more than a one-off run most of the time. We're all busy people, and with a whole room filled with games (or, at this moment, a couple of pallets due to make their way to the USA), there's always that desire for more. In the four hours that we could spend playing part – part! – of an RPG setting or campaign, we could crack out a bunch of small to medium sized games and have a whole load of fun.
Not that I'm saying a good RPG isn't fun, not at all. In my wee sabbatical away from the LMDS keyboard I've spent a fair few hours looking through the finally released new edition of D&D (the three main books and the first campaign) and I can see already that it'll be splendid. However, sometimes I want a few robots and lasers in my collectively told story, but outside of a rare Warforged wandering about, they're not exactly Dungeons & Dragons fodder. As if by magic (or by science, really), something new and shiny landed in my lap called Faith that has managed to scratch that itch in a marvellous way, and surprise! It's on Kickstarter now.
Some of you may be aware of an older game called Shadowrun that mixed the worlds of the fantastic and scientific to create a very interesting product. I was a big fan of it when I was a kid, reading the main book until its spine was cracked and pages dog-eared, but could never convince anyone to play the damn thing because, in the eyes of my friends, it was a little too far out there. Faith, to me at least, feels a little reminiscent with its world of hyper-futurism mixed with actual gods who are out for only one thing – dominance. This is no game of players assuming such roles though; in Faith, while the gods do exist, they can only affect the world through manipulation of their believers. It's an interesting concept, having these incredibly powerful beings fight for control of the mortal realm where, in actuality, they're impotent and can do nothing without our assistance. Of course, giving them that belief and help is good for us, the players, too – we get to mess about with physics-breaking abilities and ludicrous weaponry.
Our story lies in the far future, with a battered and bruised humanity attempting to recover from being enslaved by the Corvo, a universal race that pretty much controlled a network of wormholes called the Labyrinth – at least until another bunch called the Iz'kal showed up. With two huge forces primed to wipe each other out, mutually assured destruction was backed away from in the form of a peace treaty that is relatively stable – and that's where we come in. Armed only with a specially modified Poker deck, players will attempt to carve their own story from the universe of Faith, with a little godly assistance and clever card play. The rules of how to actually play the game are beautifully simple, condensed down to a simple two pages; most of the time, if you want to do something you can just consult with the GM and you'll be able to do it. I love this kind of game, though if you're the kind of GM who likes to be in full control of your party, I'd suggest you stay well away from Faith. It rewards creativity, welcoming free-flowing thought and explanation, and having someone in control of the game who enjoys this kind of play is essential – there's no room for 'rocks fall, everyone dies' in the Labyrinth.
This isn't just about letting your imagination get away with anything though. The game is broken down into Scenes (which feel rather like a speedier version of D&D 4E's encounters) where you begin with seven cards drawn from your deck – new Scenes begin whenever the GM decides though, so with that necessarily liberal person at the helm you shouldn't run low too often. When the story befits it, cards will be played from your hand to trigger and boost Skills that should help you get out of a tricky situation or assist you as needed, with the highest scoring player (or GM!) making the call on what happens. Rather than go into detail, I urge you to check out the quickstart rules – seriously, they're only two pages – which explain how actions from hacking into computers to punching someone's nose in breaks down.
Everything in Faith is card driven, from the deck that you draw from to the weapons and items that your character has in their possession. The set I was sent out is representative of what will be included in the proposed initial release, and should it succeed I promise that you're going to get an awful lot of stuff in there. A huge variety of loadouts should see you and your fellow players fit to deal with any situation, and even if you don't have the right gear to hand the game allows you to think around a problem as much as shoot right through it. With the cards in your hand being the things that will essentially decide your destiny, Faith gives you the option to plan ahead rather than rely on a random dice roll, so with a good team of people around the table this could well be one of the most creatively entertaining RPG systems around.
As with any RPG though, the game lives and dies with that group. As much as I said that Faith requires a fairly liberal GM to run the thing, I would suggest that you also need a pretty creative group of players too. Playing the game requires the unlearning of a lot of standard RPG rules, but if you give yourself over to Faith you'll find that it's a very satisfying system that can offer a group plenty of entertainment. In recent years, the big Role Playing Games have focused more on the dice roll than the storytelling, but Faith looks to pull that back towards a game of imagination where the system doesn't get in the way of the fun.
It also helps that the creative team behind the game have created a huge amount of material for you to work with. To begin with, the art that's seen throughout the game is beautiful; from the biggest set pieces in the rulebooks to the smallest details on the equipment cards, Faith has already had a huge amount of investment put into it. The graphic design throughout is clear so players can refer to their abilities and skills quickly, and as you play and grow, tokens are used to keep track of enhancements that you develop. It's a very clean system, and it's plain to see that a huge amount of thought has been put into making Faith as easy to use as possible. Even the GM's book, though packed with the details you'd expect to need when running an entire universe, is simple enough to get into, making the whole product pretty impressive all round.
With a focus on discussion, group play and imagination, Faith certainly deserves a shot at the RPG big time. It feels very different to previous systems I've played with, so that alone deserves some level of recognition, but the fact that everything works so well means I'll certainly recommend it. As with any RPG, the previously mentioned caveat remains – you definitely need a playgroup willing to give something new a shot – but who wouldn't want to play something that gives you such freedom? Trying this one was a pleasure, and I can't wait to see how the final product turns out.
Faith: The Sci Fi RPG is on Kickstarter until March 12th, 2015. Designed by Carlos Gómez, Helio de Grado & Mauricio Gómez with art by Milan Nikolic, Aleksandra Bilic and Aleksa Bracic, it will be published by Burning Games with a prospective delivery date of October 2015 – so… Essen. Everything you need to play is included in the £46 level, though you can pick up a deck for as little as £14 if you want to support the campaign. Which you do. Yes.

What Men Need- Just Another Apartment or a Home?
Edwin was hardly listening to the agent of the real estate company, Phoenix Builders, who was describing about his company and their new tampa apartments in Brandon. His parents' apartment, in Tampa, FL, sits in a bleak unembellished building that neighbors other similarly depressing structures.


text: I might (that's MIGHT) want to paint a racquet. I've resaerched the process and having lots of experience with spray painting projects I'm confident I can handle the stripping and painting phase. What I'm not sure about is removing and then re-installing the grommets and bumper guard. The frame is the Head MG Radical OS. Is it easy to remove and re-install these parts or should I have an MRT do it for me? I have over 20 years of experience building models and similar "small tool work/precision" projects involving plastic and metal work. I have no fear of patiently performing detailed work. But I'm not arrogant enough to think I can jump into a project like this without the advice of more experienced folks. Can I do this myself or is there a high chance of damaging the parts?

I'm humbled. When we were coming home trying to beat Hurricane Charley to our house, I really didn't expect what was about to happen happen. I was pretty much prepared for the storm. It was more than I expected, but we were ready.
What I wasn't ready for was the popularity that this blog ended up having. On Friday this blog was visited 400 times. Saturday it was about 325. Checking out a few other sites today I found that Andrew, my Uncle, Campus Crusade's help website for the staff of Campus Crusade, and others.
I checked some of my site stats and found people found my blog on AOL, #2 on Google for "sanibel hurricane blogs", and Yahoo (though that one isn't indexing this anymore).
It's been pretty cool to be found worthy of good content. I was only doing it to do it…and to stay in communication with friends and family. Turns out I've got more of those than I thought…I think.
