Comment | Print | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
XFX reckons and we aren't kidding, Now You Can Have the "Mother" You've Always Wanted.
Yep, that's right, as you can see above in the marketing poster. XFX is out with its brand new nForce 750i SLI motherboard and now usually wwe don't get excited because XFX normally use NVIDIA made boards but from what we can see, this board looks to be made and designed by XFX.
It features an XFX designed passively cooled heatpipe, "tweaked" FSB good up to 450MHz, overclocked DDR2 good up to 1600MHz DDR, all Japanese made solid capacitors, clear CMOS on rear I/O panel and more.
It probably won't help you to break any world records but for the price, this board will give you plenty of bang for buck. You can get the full lowdown from the press release, which is right here.

"Combine blueberries and bananas in these tender, golden loaves. Whether you enjoy a slice as a snack or for breakfast, this bread is so flavorful, you won't need butter." — STILLSWEET43
Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup fresh blueberries
I added a teaspoon of dried lemon zest, other than that I stuck to the recipe. Right before baking, I sprinkled a little sugar over each muffin mound. I did get 12 BIG muffins out of one recipe instead of one big loaf. Baked at 350*, my muffins were done at 23 minutes. VERY good. My muffins didn't rise very much, next time I make this I would add a teaspoon of baking powder maybe.
This is a delicious, tender banana bread. I did not add baking powder & it rose nicely. The bread is light & not dense @ all. The 3 small loaves are apparently the mini-loaf size. I made one 8" loaf & one mini loaf. I added 1/2 tsp cinnamon & about 1/4 tsp nutmeg & some toasted walnuts b/c I love those in sweet bread. I'm not sure how long I baked the 8" loaf since I didn't time it. I think around 50 min. I will definitely make this again. The subtle tartness of the blueberries & the sweet bread are a wonderful contrast.

I did toss my blueberries in some flour before adding to the batter which always helps in getting them evenly distributed instead of all dropping to the bottom of the loaf. Followed this recipe to the letter, and it was very moist and tender with juicy bites of blueberries. Very nice, thanks for sharing your recipe STILLSWEET43
I used this recipe but substituted the blueberries with fresh diced strawberries and added a teaspoon baking powder. Turned out great!
I added a bit of baking powder, and they rose nicely. Might have otherwise, but I wanted to be sure. Made them as muffins then took 'em to church; they were a huge hit. I made half with the blueberries and half with walnuts (half cup each). I think this is the first week that I had no leftovers! Next time I should make another half batch so I get to try them!
I made this this morning and it came out wonderful! I had to used dried blueberries, but they were still great in the bread. I made one large loaf and cooked for about 50 minutes - just perfect!
Rises beautifully! Tolerates extra blueberries.
Really good! I used @ 1.5 cups white whole wheat and .5 cups all purpose, and subbed brown sugar for white because that was all I had. And I added 1 tsp baking powder. I am in the process of moving...all my loaf pans are packed (also why I had so many substitutions) so I used one 8x8 metal cake pan. I was pretty nervous because the batter was so thick, but it turned out great! Sort of coffee cake like. I'm adding this to my favorites. Thanks for the recipe!

awhile back i purchased this lovely print from one of my favorite artists amy ruppel. somehow it got lost in the mail so i emailed amy and told her i never received it. she emailed me right back, apologized and offered to send me a larger print from her awesome, newer, & better printer. YAY! the coolest thing is that she also gave me her number in case i had any questions or concerns. i can call amy ruppel any time i want; of course i won't, but that's not the point. this may mean nothing to everyone else, but to me this is like having brad pitt's or jennifer anniston's number. i've never been into celebrities; they don't impress me. sure some are talented, but i think the majority are just overpaid people who live in some odd fantasy land where most of their relationships and actions are superficial. that sucks. i am however impressed by artists who are able to make a living off their art. this is an amazing accomplishment that doesn't happen nearly enough! just sayin.
That's an awesome story, and I love it when things turn out that way. I feel kind of the same way about artists and other creative types. I started a new weblog a few weeks ago - The Tools Artists Use - and I'm emailing tons of artists whose work I really admire, and I am constantly surprised when they agree to participate! I'm still hesitant to email some of the artists, but so far I have yet to have anyone tell me to bugger off. :)

WASHINGTON -- Acting Commerce Secretary Rebecca Blank, who has held the job since John Bryson resigned for medical reasons in June, is stepping down to become chancellor of the University of Wisconsin in Madison, she said Monday.
Blank told her staff in an email that she would leave sometime before July, when her new job begins.
"I expect to welcome a new secretary of Commerce before I leave," wrote Blank, a former dean of the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan. She told her employees it had been an honor to serve with them.
Obama praised Blank as a "a vital member of my economic team."
"A tireless advocate for American businesses, Becky has helped to increase our competitiveness, support our innovators and entrepreneurs, and bring good-paying jobs back to our shores," Obama said Monday.
One of Obama's top campaign fundraisers, Chicago billionaire Penny Pritzker, has been mentioned as a top candidate for the Commerce Department job. Blank's successor would be the fourth person to hold the Cabinet position since Obama took office.
The Commerce secretary is the administration's main liaison to the business community and oversees a variety of government agencies, including the National Weather Service and the Census Bureau.
Commerce is not viewed as a top Cabinet position. Last year, Obama proposed to merge the department's core functions with those of five other agencies, including the Small Business Administration and U.S. Trade Representative's Office, into a new Cabinet department.
Obama never nominated a replacement for Bryson, the former Edison International chief executive who suffered a seizure in June that led to two hit-and-run accidents in San Gabriel Valley.
Bryson cited the seizure for his resignation after only about eight months on the job, saying his medical condition could be a distraction to Obama.
Blank took over on an acting basis. She had been with the Commerce Department since 2009, where she began as the top economic advisor to then-Secretary Gary Locke.
A special committee of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents announced Monday that it had recommended Blank for the job. The full board is set to vote on April 5.

John Bryson resigns as Commerce secretary, citing seizure
Will Penny Pritzker become the next U.S. commerce secretary?

During an appearance on CNBC last night — the network of choice for those who favor tax cuts for the wealthy, bonuses for bailed out bankers and who think tax dodging is a way to fight "tyranny" — new GOP 2012 presidential frontrunner Newt Gingrich said that it's because of him that his chief rival, Mitt Romney, was able to amass a fortune of up to $250 million. "You could make an argument that I helped Mitt Romney get to be rich, because I helped pass the legislation" that former President Ronald Reagan wanted in the 1980s, Gingrich claimed. "He should be thanking me":
I was part of [Sen. Jack] Kemp's little cabal of supply siders who, I think largely by helping convince Reagan and then working with Reagan, profoundly changed the entire trajectory of the American economy in the 1980s. You could make an argument that I helped Mitt Romney get to be rich, because I helped pass the legislation…He should be thanking me! He should be thanking me because I did the macroeconomic things necessary to make his career possible.
Watch it:
It's a bit unclear why Gingrich thinks the Reagan economic plan was so wonderful to a private equity executive like Romney, who made his fortune by buying up companies and often restructuring them by firing workers and reneging on benefit promises in order to sell them for a profit later.
Perhaps its Reagan's tax cuts for those at the top of the income scale that Gingrich believes helped Romney build his fortune. Of course, those tax cuts blew such a hole in the budget that Reagan reneged on some of them later. Reagan actually wound up raising taxes in seven of his eight years in office.
But in a sense, Gingrich is right, in that the Reagan agenda did wonders for the rich while not giving much help to everyone else. As ThinkProgress' Alex Seitz-Wald noted, "despite the myth that Reagan presided over an era of unmatched economic boom for all Americans, Reagan disproportionately taxed the poor and middle class, [while] the economic growth of the 1980′s did little help them." A new study from Lane Kenworthy, a professor at the University of Arizona, found that, contrary to the conservative belief, economic growth does not automatically trickle down to lower- and middle-class people.
As President Obama said yesterday regarding trickle down economics: "Here's the problem: It doesn't work. It has never worked." But evidently Gingrich believes it worked for Mitt Romney, and that therefore Romney owes Gingrich a debt of gratitude.

GREENVILLE, Mich.
Advertisement |
Shane Wilcox thought he was stopping to help a panicked young woman by the side of the road. But his good deed turned into a violent robbery.
"I was on my way home from work," Wilcox, of Greenville, said. It was a routine Friday night for the Navy veteran that quickly took a turn.
"I come around the corner. I see a car with its flashers on. As I got closer, I see a girl waving her hands, kinda semi-panicked, semi-frantic."
"I'm always stopping for people to help them out," Wilcox said. So he stopped this time, too.
"She started saying 'thank you, thank you. My car's broke down. It won't start. I don't have a phone, I can't get a hold of anybody'," he recalled.
As she told him that, a truck pulled up next to him. "I didn't think anything of it. Thought another motorist helping out," he explained.
"Next thing I know, out of the corner of my eye, I see an object."
A stop to help a stranger turned violent without warning. Wilcox was hit in the face with a blunt object and knocked to the ground.
"One guy was kicking me in the ribs. Other guy was like stomping on my head."
At 6'3" and 250 pounds, Wilcox put up a fight. Then came what he believes was a knife.
"They tried jabbing that into me. They got a pretty good cut in it." Wilcox showed a torn winter vest and a ripped ball cap.
The men, who Wilcox says must have been on drugs, sped away. They took his wallet and a wad of cash. That left him with sore ribs, a bruised face, and a scraped wrist.
However, he made it home to his wife who called 911.
"Made it out alive, thank the Lord for that," he said.
"This could have been someone different. This could have been somebody much older, much more frail."
"Hopefully the word getting out there, ya know, people, better prepare themselves for a situation like this," Wilcox said.
"I would hope that there's people that know these people and will turn them in. Maybe they can get some help. Maybe they can get into some kind of rehab program.".
Will he no longer stop to help strangers?
"No. My parents raised me to help people out. You do to others as you want them to do to you. So if there's someone along the side of the road, I absolutely will stop again."
The Greenville Police Department is investigating.
Wilcox says the attackers were two white men who look to be in their mid-20's. They were driving a Chevy truck, possibly champagne color.
He says the woman who flagged him down is white, has dark hair and a purple streak in her hair. She looks to be between 18 and 25 years old and was driving what looked to be a white older model Taurus.

McHenry officer admits stealing seized drug money
WOODSTOCK (AP) — A former suburban Chicago police officer has pleaded guilty to stealing seized drug money.
The Northwest Herald reports that former McHenry officer Dale Hojnacki pleaded guilty Tuesday to theft under $10,000 and official misconduct. The 36-year-old was charged in April after an audit by the department determined the money was missing.
Hojnacki has resigned from the McHenry Police Department. He was with the department for 11 years and was a patrolman when he resigned.

A 51-year-old mom from East Hampton, Conn., has been arrested after allegedly giving her daughter multiple margaritas to the point where she became sick during dinner last month.
Middletown police went to 200 Main St. at 7:21 p.m. on Feb. 27 to investigate a report of an intoxicated female and found a 14-year-old girl who appeared to be drunk and her mother, Joann Goulet LePage, 51, of East Hampton, police said.

YOSHIHIRO- Edo Hongasumi Usuba Vegetable Knife 8.25″ (210mm): The Green Knife
An usuba knife is traditionally used as a vegetable knife in the kitchen.
How Does One Spot an Usuba?
It usually has a flat edge, with very little or no curve and "tall" (to allow enough clearance for the knuckles when using a chopping board). The term usuba is literally translated as thin blade. Of course, this is in reference to its physical characteristic. As opposed to other knives, the usuba is relatively thinner. This feature allows the knife to cut through even firm vegetables without deforming them.
The YOSHIHIRO- Edo Hongasumi Usuba Vegetable Knife 8.25″ (210mm) is the Kanto version of an usuba. It actually looks like a small meat cleaver which features a square blunt tip.
Vegetables need some special loving care. Some are soft, some are tough. Hence, a good vegetable knife is needed to address this unique situation.
What Makes this Ideal for Your Greens?
Product Features
- Grade: Hongasumi / Knife Type: Usuba Vegetable Knife (Edo Type)
- Steel Type: Ao-ko Blue High Carbon Steel
- Blade: Single-Edged/ Blade Length: 8.25″ (210mm)
- BOLSTER: Water Buffalo Horn (BOLSTER COLOR -VARIES) / Handle Material: Magnolia
- Hardness Rockwell C scale: 62-63
What is Blue Steel (Ao-ko)?
Blue steel is in essence a Shiro-ko or white steel but is supplemented with chromium and tungsten. These materials benefit the YOSHIHIRO- Edo Hongasumi Usuba Vegetable Knife 8.25″ (210mm) by:
- Enhancing the strength of the blade
- Lessening the reactivity of the steel
- Improving the potential for prolonged edge retention
With Yoshihiro, you are assured of a quality vegetable knife that is backed by 500 years of history! In fact, it's been awarded the "Best Sushi Chef Knife Maker" in Japan thanks to its technology and techniques in knife making.
For a change, here's a product with no hype and no frills. CHECK OUT THE FREE SHIPPING PROMO HERE!

scarsarestories' Radical New Year's Resolutions
1. I have emancipated myself completely from any financial or emotional entaglements with my family. Thus, I will not be ridden by guilt mixed with my father's own complexes about debt and baby-boomer cognitive dissonance about riding the wave of booms in the 1980s, only to leave their children with no job market, and to find themselves in debt that will be all-consuming once retirement is reached, as there was and end to those booms – everything that comes up must go. You got it….I will not longer be the scapegoat when I ask for $50. Besides, what is an adult doing asking for $50? I will no longer help a 20 year-old young woman, my sister, find her first job. I will no longer question why she has stepped into the role of "the perfect child". I fear for her future, as she plans to apply to medical school with no life experience next year. These things are not my responsiblility.
So I ran away home. To Vancouver. To face my demons, and become the Goddess I was becoming until an unexpected attack left me bruised and bleeding.
2. I am writing from the psych ward – a swanky one, though I will not name the location in Vancouver! I have found doctors who are willing to help me radically reduce/completely get rid of my dosage/addiction to Effexor. I've been on 375 mg instead of 450 mg for 2 days now. I am being fed Epival instead, which is preventing brain zaps quite miraculously. Up goes the Epival, down goes the Effexor. If one wishes to get off Epival, there is no "withdrawal syndrome" involved. The only side-effects of withdrawing from Effexor so far that I have experienced have been fogginess/a feeling of mental "slowness". and rage when things do not go my way immediately – feelings of wanting to rip things off the walls and run back and forth down the hallway screaming. I want to throw a temper tantrum, feeling like it would make things better, but knowing full well it would not. Thus, I sit still.
3. I have schedued Dr. Catherine Allaire, my amazing surgeon, to perform a laparoscopic hysterectomy (despite being 26 years-old ) on May 2nd. I am taking my body into my own hands. I do not want to be reliant on painkillers any more than I want to be reliant on psychiatric medications.
I want to know what it feels like to be normal again. I will also dye my hair. It's kind of a tradition, changing my hair dramatically, everytime I make a dramatic change in my life. Maybe I'll turn it into a rainbow!
More soon – my access to a computer is limited, and it's a PC (I'm pc-illiterate ). I will answer your long overdue questions/comments ASAP. The reason I've been absent is I've been putting my clandestine move back to Vancouver in the works, sometimes literally flying by the seat of my pants. Remembering when flying used to be exciting. It has now become a chore. I think I will decide, or at least create some semblance of an idea, or what I want to do with my life this year.
You have been my support network over the past year, and this is what I tell doctors when they ask, "how about your support network…", inevitably.
First thing I need when I leave the hospital – a room of my own – a bachelor suite!! My past four sets of roommates (friends and family discluded) had stated that my "issues" are too big for a shared living arrangement. Well, I feel too big for anyone else myself. I'm a tiny little thing, barely 100 lbs., but my energy is boundless, and it needs a jar.

Are we really supposed to believe those who claim to be quitting to spend more time with their families? CNN's Campbell Brown sure doesn't — and she hasn't asked her viewers to either. On May 18, when Brown announced she was stepping down from the news program she has hosted on weeknights since February 2008, she was singularly frank.
"I could have said that I am stepping down to spend more time with my children (which I truly want to do)," Brown said. "Or that I am leaving to pursue other opportunities (which I also truly want to do). But I have never had much tolerance for others' spin, so I can't imagine trying to stomach my own. The simple fact is that not enough people watch my program."

Washington, Feb 12 (ANI): A new study by researchers from the University of Missouri (MU) has suggested that some of the largely petroleum-based plastic may soon be replaced by a nonpolluting, renewable plastic made from plants, which would significantly reduce the carbon footprint.
Reducing the carbon footprint and the dependence on foreign oil, this new 'green' alternative may also provide an additional cash crop for farmers.
"Making plastics from plants is not a new idea," said Brian Mooney, research assistant professor of biochemistry with the MU Interdisciplinary Plant Group.
"Plastics made from plant starch and soy protein have been used as an alternative to petroleum-based plastics for a while. What is relatively new – and exciting – is the idea of using plants to actually grow plastics," he added.
By employing a number of modern molecular techniques, scientists are able to introduce three bacterial enzymes into the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
When combined with two enzymes from the plant, an organic polymer is produced.
The polymer, known as polyhdroxybutyrate-co-polyhydroxyvalerate, or PHBV, is a flexible and moldable plastic that can be used to produce a wide range of products, such as grocery bags, soda bottles, disposable razors and flatware.
When discarded, the plastic is naturally degraded into water and carbon dioxide by bacteria in the soil.
"Of the two plant enzymes that supply the chemical precursors for PHBV, one is produced in the mitochondria. Recently, we've successfully modified plants so that this enzyme is diverted to the chloroplast, which has been defined as the best place in the plant to produce PHBV," said Mooney.
"We also confirmed that a stable, functional complex is formed," he added.
These recent advances potentially remove two of the remaining technological hurdles limiting the ability of companies from turning acres of weeds into plastic factories.
The next step, according to Mooney, is to see if the technique works in 'real' plants, such as switchgrass. (ANI)

By the massive earthquakes of Magnitude 9 and surreal massive tsunamis, more than 10,000 people are still missing…even now… It has been 16 days already since the disaster happened. What makes it worse is that water at the reactors of Fukushima Nuclear Plants started to leak, and it's contaminating the ocean, air and water molecule of surrounding areas. …

Children play in an abandoned building in the Gaza Strip. |
By Michael Bociurkiw
GAZA, 27 July 2005 – With less than a month remaining before Israel's disengagement from the Gaza Strip, UNICEF has completed final deliveries of aid supplies to some of the most isolated enclaves in the area.
In preparation for the mid-August disengagement, the organization has also expanded activities in psychosocial support, health and education.
The disengagement plan calls for the evacuation of some settlements and installations. Because of their close proximity to the soon-to-be-evacuated settlements, many enclaves in Gaza are being sealed off, making humanitarian aid deliveries virtually impossible for the next several weeks.

A playground in the Gaza Strip. UNICEF is working with officials to rehabilitate some playgrounds in the city. |
This is why special attention has been devoted to these areas, some of which are currently accessible only by a single gate for a few hours a day.
Last week UNICEF was able to complete a final aid delivery to the Al Sayafa enclave, consisting of recreational, educational and water and sanitation supplies, along with one generator.
Children face daily danger
Children make up about half of the Gaza Strip's population of 1.2 million. They live in one of the most densely populated places on earth – and one of the most tense and isolated. They have few safe play spaces and are frequently exposed to the line of fire, at school or at home. After years of conflict, few of them can imagine any other way of life.
With few playgrounds, many children wander perilously close to military positions or settlements, where unexploded ordnance (UXO) is a constant threat. First-time visitors to the Gaza Strip are often taken aback by how many children they see with UXO injuries.
© UNICEF OPT/2005/Sabella |
Children playing in the Gaza Strip. Opportunities for play are very limited. In open areas children risk being exposed to shooting, shelling or unexploded ordances. |
Poor nutrition is also a widespread problem in the area. Three quarters of the population of Gaza lives under the poverty line; breakfast often means a single cup of tea. The lack of nutritious food results in stunted growth for one in 10 children.
UNICEF is supporting the creation of 15 alternative play areas for some 50,000 children living near sensitive areas. Daily activities will be provided, including instructional plays on how to avoid UXO. Recent aid shipments to Gaza include 'school-in-a-box' kits, remedial education materials and safe water kits to help ensure a supply of drinkable water.
UNICEF's work has received financial support from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the UK National Committee for UNICEF and the governments of Belgium, Denmark and the Netherlands.

Eight Signs of Fearful Leadership
Over the past few years, I've heard the phrase "courageous leadership" used to describe the trait of those leaders who are making a difference today. Unfortunately, we also know many who are in leadership positions where that courage is not apparent. Indeed, they demonstrate leadership that is fearful.

Five Ways to Avoid Lying about Church Attendance
I have used these lines many times in speaking venues. I ask the audience if they know how Baptists count weekly worship attendance. The knowing smiles break forth on most faces. I then began counting each person in the conference by saying 2, 4, 6, 8 . . . As the audience waits for the punch line, I say that every believer is indwelled by the Holy Spirit, so each person counts as two.

Five Reasons Your Pastor Will Not Ask for a Raise
My recent blogpost on pastors' salaries drew a lot of attention. There are indeed some heated emotions on both sides of the issue. Much of the concern expressed about the pay of ministers seems to focus on those cases of real indulgence and abuse. But it's those cases that get the most attention and, sadly, hurt the vast majority of ministers who are faithful stewards of God's money.

Can a Dying Church Find Life? Six Radical Steps to 'Yes'
I must say from a pure statistical perspective, most churches with the symptoms I noted will die within a matter of a few years. Though I don't have hard data, I would be comfortable suggesting that the percentage exceeds 99 percent. In the midst of the gloomy news of terminal churches, I took a look at a few churches that had all the signs of impending death and then turned around to life.

Four Simple Reasons Most Churches Aren't Breakout Churches
Almost a decade ago, I led a major study on churches that had reversed negative trends and become positive breakout churches. I established the criterion that the breakout had to take place without changing pastors. I knew from previous research that most breakout churches had new pastors. I wanted to see if it was likely for a church to turnaround without getting a new pastor.

Seven Distinguishing Characteristics of Unified Churches
The exercise was simple. I made a list of over 30 of the most unified churches I know. Some of them have been my clients in the past. I then made a list of over 40 fragmented churches (they were easier to find). From that point I began to answer my own questions: What makes this church look like it's unified? What makes this other church look like it's fragmented?

Remember that Microsoft has invested in Apple in the past. They may have all kinds of cross-licensing deals in place.
HTC and WinMo
Posted Mar 3, 2010 1:57 UTC (Wed) by mrpippy (guest, #57134) [Link]
They (and the Android phones) are accused of infringing on '263, the "Real-time signal processing system for serially transmitted data". It's hard to figure out what this patent actually covers, but it seems to be about abstracting a DSP (used to interface with a communications network) from a higher-level driver. This could apply to the HTC-written RIL (sits below the phone API and sends AT commands to the radio), or to the HTC/Qualcomm AMSS firmware that runs on the radio (itself an ARM9 core). I suspect it is the latter, since the AMSS uses DSPs and presents serial ports to the main apps processor. If the AMSS is the infringing software, this means that every Qualcomm MSM chip is also infringing, and by extension, every single device operating on Verizon or Sprint's networks in the US.
As an interesting aside, the '263 patent was granted in January 2002, almost 8 years after the filing date in August 1994. In 1993, Apple introduced the Quadra 660AV and 840AV, 68040-based Macs that also had a 50 MHz AT&T DSP on the logic board. Among other uses for the DSP, it could be paired with an inexpensive telecom adapter (the GeoPort) and used as a 14.4K modem. So Apple has actually shipped products that could have used this patent, although its relevance to modern mobile phones is pretty tenuous.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
GUARANTEED OCD Elimination. 100% Obsession, Compulsion & Anxiety FREE. Quickly, Simply & Permanently!
Use the exact same Method used by EVERY recovered OCD sufferer in the world.
Eliminate EVERY OCD thought, fast!
"I have never, in tens of thousands of OCD cases, found one case where medication has played a curative role in recovery... that's the truth. There is only one true cure for OCD." Charles Linden
Does medication for OCD work?
Put it this way, how many people with OCD are on medication? How many of them can ultimately say "I've been on the meds X weeks and I am cured!"
If my new clients are anything to go by, medication can't change the subconscious, anxious 'habit', which causes and perpetuates OCD.
I have to be careful here though because I don't believe that OCD actually exists as a stand-alone condition! Why?
Firstly, the word disorder implies illness... anxiety fueled obsessional behavior is not an illness... secondly, it doesn't require a name at all because it, just like a racing heart, upset stomach, chest tightness etc. is simply another anxiety SYMPTOM and not a stand alone condition.
If you have OCD, you have 'high anxiety'... inappropriate, yes, an illness, no!
That high anxiety is causing a change in thought and reasoning due to hormonal changes caused by the flight or fight response... it creates OCD.
Is this mental illness? No... a perfectly normal but massively embellished version of NORMAL thoughts.
If you felt happy all the time and went around laughing... people would think you were a little odd perhaps, but ILL, NO! So what's the difference?
You have a heightened level of the emotion of fear causing OCD... what's the difference between that and heightened happiness? NOTHING. They are both human emotions... both inappropriate and yet happiness isn't feared, so the 'symptoms' are ignored or enjoyed.
Fear carries with it, unpleasant 'symptoms'... but why are they any more 'serious' than the happy symptoms? See where I am going
When you fall in love... a natural and logical reaction, yes? BUT, love is a form of what you would call OCD.. think about it! Obsessive, yes, compulsive, yes... disorder, NO! But it carries all the traits of OCD!
So are we mentally ill when we are in love? No. No more than we are mentally or physically ill when we have obsessions and compulsions.
OCD - pleasant, no. Illness, no. Curable, yes. With meds? NO!
So how do you cure OCD? I'll try and explain.
Charles Linden
What is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD?
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder symptom, NOT a stand-alone condition. OCD is characterized by anxious obsessive thoughts causing the sufferer to carry out rituals and compulsions. OCD is is sister to Pure O, which causes inappropriate thoughts, sometimes of an aggressive or sexual nature or about health and illness for example.
But like I said before, OCD doesn't actually exist as a stand alone condition...
Because OCD never exists without an underlying anxiety disorder; take away your inappropriate anxiety and your obsessions will simply fade away. OCD is fueled by anxiety-driven 'what if' or 'catastrophic' thought processes which are stored like habit in the brain.
If you have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), you may be plagued by persistent, unwelcome thoughts or images, or by the urgent need to engage in certain rituals in order to stave off anxiety. These Obsessive Compulsive Disorder rituals can be very fast to carry out, such as checking light switches or making sure you have turned off the stove, but many require large quantities of time and concentration.
As a sufferer of OCD:
- You may be obsessed with germs or dirt, washing your hands, clothes, home or furniture repeatedly
- You may be filled with doubt and feel the need to check things many times over
- You may have frequent thoughts of violence, and fear that you will harm people close to you
- You may spend long periods touching things or counting
- You may be pre-occupied by order or symmetry
- you may have persistent thoughts of performing sexual acts that are repugnant to you
- You may be troubled by thoughts that oppose your religious beliefs
The disturbing thoughts or images are called obsessions, and the rituals that are performed to try to prevent or get rid of them are called compulsions.
If the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder sufferer does not carry out the ritual that their subconscious mind wishes them to, the anxiety level can become overwhelming. Panic attacks and all of the associated anxiety symptoms, thoughts and sensations can ensue - and it is this which forces the sufferer to become a slave to their compulsions and rituals in order to prevent an anxiety reaction.
Even non-anxious people recognize some of the symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. 'Checking' behavior is common in non-sufferers, but when this behavior becomes obsessive, the OCD sufferer can spend much of their day checking the gas, the light switches or the locks. Some OCD sufferers spend much of their day carrying out the rituals they have developed which can be very intrusive and destructive for both themselves and family members.
Most OCD sufferers realize that what they do makes no real sense, but the fear of the consequences of NOT doing it forces them to continue.
There are many OCD sufferers who are so entrenched in their behaviors and routines that they seem oblivious to the fact that what they do is not what you would call 'normal' behavior.
Who suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) affects over 4 million Americans and this figure is echoed across the world. OCD affects men and women equally and normally develops in younger people and children first. Approximately 1/3 of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder sufferers first experienced their symptoms as a child.
People with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder tend to avoid situations where there may be a chance of confronting their fears or obsessions. Avoidance techniques support the anxious behavior and often phobias accompany the OCD behavior, such as agoraphobia or social phobia.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) sufferers find it very difficult to maintain healthy relationships or to hold down a job because of the intrusive and very visual nature of their conditions - often employers will find the visible symptoms difficult to work with and careers can be severely affected.
What is 'Pure O'?
Pure O is the obsessive thoughts experienced in obsessive compulsive disorder but without any resultant compulsion to carry out any specific actions such as hand washing, ordering or word repetition. Pure O can often center around obsessive thoughts of a sexual or aggressive nature.
Can Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) be cured?
In a word... yes! Most definitely and most permanently.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is an Anxiety Disorder symptom, and can, therefore, be eliminated by addressing the subconscious reaction which causes and perpetuates the anxiety which fuels it. This sounds difficult, but it isn't - kids of seven do it in days, so I know you can..
There is an internal 'anxiety switch' which is activated by anxious stimuli and it is by controlling and altering this reaction that OCD and the anxiety that fuels it can be permanently eliminated, very quickly and very permanently.
In over a decade of treating Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) clients, we have never had one case where we have failed to remove the rituals and obsessions that they experience.
If you remove the anxiety which fuels OCD, the obsessions and compulsions fade away quickly.
IMMEDIATE REASSURANCE - As you do this program you can email or phone our qualified staff as often as you like and get immediate reassurance from ex anxiety and OCD sufferers who have helped tens of thousands of people to recover - there isn't any anxious symptom or thought they haven't experienced, so you can be totally sure that you are going to feel a lot better fast!

Professor Kandel received a B.S. degree in chemistry in 1993 from Yale University. He obtained a Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Stanford University in 1999 for research on the gas-phase chemical reactions of chlorine with hydrogen and hydrocarbons. His postdoctoral work at Penn State University (1999-2001) focused on fundamental studies of surfaces and catalysis using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy. He joined the faculty at Notre Dame in 2001.
Research Interests
Research in the Kandel group centers around Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). STM allows for imaging with sub-Ångstrom resolution, resulting in direct measurements of the individual atoms and molecules that make up the surfaces of materials. We use molecular-resolution imaging to investigate three broad areas of research: Gas-surface interactions and chemical reactions We produce "movies" from timed sequences of STM images that show the molecular-scale changes that occur on surfaces as they are exposed to high-kinetic-energy neutral or free-radical gas atoms. Such reactions are particularly important for surfaces exposed to active environments, such as flames, plasmas, and the upper atmosphere. Formation and structure of molecularly heterogeneous surfaces Surfaces exposed to molecules in vapor or solution can exhibit both order and randomness on the micrometer and nanometer scales. By choosing appropriate systems, we can vary molecule-molecule and molecule-surface interactions and control molecular placement and ordering on the surface. Characterization of electronically active surface-bound molecules An STM tip and a conducting surface can be used as electrodes for probing the electronic properties of individual molecules. We work with organometallic molecules with multiple metal centers, and study how local environment affects intramolecular distribution of charge, with possible applications in memory and logic circuits. Images and additional information can be found in the Kandel Group Image Gallery

We are pioneers of the organic flower bulb industry. EcoTulips is the only certified organic flower bulb company in the USA. In addition to our wide selection of organic Tulips we have introduced the sales of organic Daffodil, Iris, Hyacinth, Fritallaria, Crocus, Muscari and Dahlia's. We also host an annual Organic Tulip Festival, attracting fans from DC, Maryland and Virginia where folks can pick thier own tulips.
Our Story: In 2008 Jeroen Koeman, a Dutch "tulip guy" fell in love with "green girl" Keriann Sloat from Charlottesville,VA. Soon they decided to combine Jeroen's passion for tulips, with Keriann's love for nature. EcoTulips was born...
We started EcoTulips in July 2009. Earlier that year I visited an organic flower bulb grower Wilbrord Braakman in the Netherlands and I was completely blown away by the quality of his flower field. I grew up on a big tulip farm and I never believed in "organic methods". However, in the last three years I have learned that the best quality bulbs and other crops are grown in healthy organic soil.
Our core belief: Flowers should be grown with respect for people, nature & pollinators!
This Means:
Organic farming methods are based on healthy soil and feeding its "Soil Food Web". Did you know there are billions of bacteria, millions of fungi and protozoa, and thousands of other critters living under our feet? This diverse ecosystem determines the productivity of our land. Conventional farming brings the "Soil Food Web" out of balance, which means every year crops require more chemical management to grow healthy.
Bulbs and Bees: Have your heard about Colony Collapse Disorder? As explained in the documentary "Vanishing of the Bees" systemic insecticides called "Neonicotinoids" weaken bees immune systems, making populations susceptible to a number of diseases and bacteria. Systemic insecticides are widely used in conventional fruit, vegetables and flower farming. This is one of the reasons why we promote pesticide free organic flower bulbs. Organic bulbs create a healthy, insecticide-free pollen source from early to late spring. Early spring bulb flowers are critical as they are among the first pollen sources for honeybees, and that pollen is used to raise their brood. You can help the bees by planting crocus, tulips, daffodils and other spring flowers.
Flower Bulb Fact: The US imports approximately 800 million chemically grown bulbs from Holland every year. Brightwood, VA-based EcoTulips is bringing positive change to the flower bulb industry by offering a high quality organic alternative to chemically grown bulbs.

GG wins reserver Championship in her second show!A great pedigree, this Dense, fine girl has lingering fineness genetics that have proven itself time and time again. Her Dam , Maid of the Mist still possesses a 18 AFD at age 6 and she has passed this trait on to every one of her crias. This girl is perfect for any breeding program stressing lingering fineness.It was only because of the quality of GG, that we recently sold her dam, Maid of the Mist. That was a hard one to let go of, but we think GG was an improvement over Maid.Misty Maiden, Accoyo Legacy,Accoyo Royal Avenger, Magnum, are just a few of the incredible bloodlines that make up her pedigree.Check out our latest Efficiency invention, we call it the Bean Machine and you can watch videos at http://thealpacarosa.com/beanmachine.html

Where do PF mentors come from?
I was just curious... how did the different PF mentors become mentors? Did Greg just start picking them out over time as new categories developed and people with expertise in the subjects emerged on the boards? How many mentors were there to begin with?
Jul16-04, 01:29 PM | #2 |
I can't tell you how many mentors the site started with, but your suspicions are correct about how mentors are found. Members who are active, helpful, and consistent are often chosen for promotions. We actually have so many active, helpful, and consistent members here that we often are in a quandary: the site wouldn't necessarily benefit from having a hundred mentors, but we still want to reward those folks who help us so very much. We've thought about some kind of not-quite-mentor user class, like PF Advisor, to recognize those people.

All the little mentor-origin fictions above were amusing, but the fact is mentors are the result of electro-biological experiments personally carried out by Greg Bernhardt in his basement. He performs these experiments with several tesla coils, van de Graaf generators, and jacob's ladders running, and when he's finished, enjoys shouting "Its ALIIIIVVVE!!! IT'S AAALLLLIIIIIVVVVEEEE!!!!!"

cardiograph, laptop, computer program, paper, website- mydeathspace.com 200cm x 150cm x 50cm 2008 |
A cardiograph used to monitor heart activity has been re programmed to monitor the activity of the Internet. In particular it has been programmed to monitor the website- mydeathspace.com, which takes the details of peoples myspace pages and creates a deathspace for them after their physical life has ended. This site then becomes a space for their new life, which is made of photographs and texts from their previous existence along with descriptions of their death and tributes from friends and family. The cardiograph has been re-programmed to monitor this site and where once it would print out the pulses of heartbeats from live physical bodies it now prints the faces of new mydeathspace members as and when they enter the site. |

Early projections show Montgomery County government facing a $71 million budget gap going into fiscal 2014, because of the faltering economy, other expenses, and $30 million needed to meet state funding regulations for Montgomery County Public Schools.
An updated summary for fiscal years 2013 to 2018 was adopted Tuesday by the County Council.
The summary painted a "very sobering picture" of the county's future, particularly in 2014, Council Staff Director Stephen Farber told the council. Fiscal 2013 begins July 1.
The summary, which Farber called a "snapshot in time," showed revenue growing 2.3 percent, or about $92 million, from 2013 to 2014, to about $4.14 billion. It also assumed state aid remaining flat, an unchanged energy tax rate and property taxes increasing annually to the charter limit.
Non-operating spending — which includes employee retirement health insurance pre-funding, current revenue for capital projects and debt service — is projected to grow 28.1 percent, or about $133 million, to $611.7 million from 2013 to 2014, effectively reducing the pool of money available to all county agencies by about $41 million.
Making matters worse is the state's maintenance of effort law, which requires the county fund the school system at the same amount per pupil as the year before.
When the Maryland General Assembly passed changes to the maintenance of effort law this year, which authorized the state to divert county income tax to local schools if the county does not meet MOE, the county did not expect that change to affect its finances until later years, Farber said.
But the law likely is to have an effect sooner rather than later, as early as 2014, he said.
Meeting MOE and pension costs in 2014 will require $30 million more in county funding, increasing the projected budget gap for county agencies to $71 million, Farber said.
To meet its education funding obligation, the council is looking at reducing its government and park and planning spending, making it harder to continue the quality of services the community expects, said Council President Roger Berliner (D-Dist. 1) of Bethesda at his Monday press briefing. Similar sobering projections were made last year, but those were based on a sunset of the energy tax increase the council passed in 2010, which did not go away, he said.
"I do want to foreshadow, if you will, that we have difficult times ahead," Berliner said.
Based on the projections, the county would need to reduce its county government spending by $66 million and its park and planning spending by $5 million in 2014 to break even.
County government and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission are the only two agencies for which the county can reduce its spending under state law should revenues fall short, Farber said. State law requires county funding for Montgomery College to at least remain flat at $218.8 million in 2014.
Funding the school system at maintenance of effort will put enormous pressure on county government and park and planning, but those agencies would feel even more pressure if the council were to consider funding the school system above MOE, Farber said.
Despite concerted efforts by the county to fight the maintenance of effort change and a partial shift of teacher pensions — projected to cost the county $7 million more in 2014 — the General Assembly did not have any idea what it was doing when it passed the measures, Councilwoman Valerie Ervin (D-Dist. 5) of Silver Spring said Monday, echoed by Jennifer Hughes, director of the county's Office of Management and Budget.
Council Vice President and GO Committee Chairwoman Nancy Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring said the county had just begun in its $4.6 billion 2013 operating budget to restore cuts to its basic services like police and libraries.
Restoring more services when facing a $71 million gap for 2014 will be difficult, Hughes said.
The Government Operations and Fiscal Policy committee recommended the council adopt the summary, with Navarro noting that it was "recommended with a lot of unhappiness."
Council staff will update the summary again in December, but Farber cautioned that based on global markets the financial picture could get worse.

Larnaca is a city located on the South East coast of Cyprus with numerous golden sandy beaches stretching across 25km with the main ones of Phinikoudes and McKenzie having been awarded Blue Flags for cleanliness.
As one of the main resorts in Cyprus, Larnaca has all of the essential amenities and more including many restaurants, tavernas and cafes as well as bars, clubs and pubs where you can relax in the balmy evenings or dance the night away.
A favourite past time for both tourists and locals in Larnaca is watersports. There are facilities for virtually every kind of water activity you can think of including jet skiing, parasailing, windsurfing, diving, snorkelling and surfing.
As the birth place of Aphrodite, Larnaca isn't all beaches and bars, the city is also steeped in history with the Church of Saint Lazarus, Archeological Museum and the ruins of Kition which are all well worth a visit.
The ruins of this ancient city date back to the 13th century BC with parts of it having been rebuilt by the Archean Greeks. The remains of the Cyclopean walls and five temples are particularly interesting and give a fascinating insight into the former life of people in Cyprus.
Originally erected in the 9th century, the Church of Saint Lazarus was built to house the remains of Lazarus who was raised from the dead by Jesus. The church contains a beautiful wooden carved throne, the skull and holy relics belonging to Lazarus. There is also an on site museum housing more religious relics in this beautiful and ancient church.

Steve Jobs kills all known Flash – DEAD!
Well, it's on all the toilet walls, Apples CEO Steve Jobs gave a damning report of Adobe's Flash product during the launch of Apples new ipad last week. He called Adobe "lazy" and confirmed that ipad's would not feature flash – ever "so there!". He also had a go at Google's slogan of "don't be evil" saying "It's bullshit", ooh he was in a testy mood.
Apple Hates Flash –
It really wasn't much of a news 'flash', after all the ipod and iphone have never supported flash, but i think the confirmation that it would never be an option, has got a whole bunch of people flustered. Job's rant about Abode i feel was more of a disappointment in their lack of progress than a callous attack, he said that;
They have all this potential to do interesting things but they just refuse to do it. They don't do anything with the approaches that Apple is taking, like Carbon. Apple does not support Flash because it is so buggy, he says. Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it's because of Flash. No one will be using Flash, he says. The world is moving to HTML5.
But is it's all just a FLASH in the ipad? (sorry)
I hate to look at one side of the story, even if i am a huge Apple fan and live for my iphone… the idea that something so established as Flash is too buggy to work on the iphone, ipod or ipad yet works perfectly on big names like Google, Nokia and HTC.. does ask the quesions, why not Apple?
Adobe doesn't hate Apple –
In an interview with cultofmac Adrian Ludwig, an Adobe group product manager for Flash, explains his reasoning behind the exclusion of Flash on the ipad and it's mobile cousins.
I will include some of the interview, a link to the entire post is above;
"It's pretty clear if you connect the dots: the issue is about revenue," says Adrian Ludwig, an Adobe group product manager for Flash, during a telephone interview on Friday afternoon.
"We've been seeing great performance on similar devices," Ludwig said. "The hardware is very capable."
But Ludwig notes that if Flash were available on the iPad, users could watch TV shows on Hulu for free instead of buying them through iTunes. Likewise, users could play some of the hundreds of Flash games on sites like Miniclip, instead of buying games through the App Store, on which Apple takes a 30% cut of every sale.
"Apple has eliminated any way to get content on the device that they don't own," says Ludwig. "Apple is keeping the device closed to protect their revenue streams."
Ludwig notes that other companies' technologies that could be used to serve content or games are also excluded — Java, Ruby, Python and .Net.
Ludwig says Adobe has been working closely with Apple on Flash for the iPhone (he didn't say if or when it would ship), but wasn't aware Apple had tested it on the iPad.
"We haven't received any communication that they are testing Flash on the iPad or any feedback about its performance," Ludwig says. "If there's any truth that it's buggy, I'd love to help them out."
What has been raised is that Flash may have to change, and if Ludwig's comments are anything to go by, they are happy to do this, so why then aren't we seeing a resolution?.
What the hell has HTML 5 got to do with flash? -
Basically it's flash without the temporary patches if comments i have seen flying around have any substance. It's also looking pretty promising for Google's Android if Scobleizer is right, because HTML 5 means that such things as desktop plug-ins that have been required for video and audio will be built into browsers with HTML 5.
I'm not going to go into what HTML 5 is because I'm not a coder so it's just not that sexy to me, what i will say though is that, if Google don't extend a helping hand to Flash, then i doubt that they will be able to stay afloat on their Nokia relationship, considering people aren't really creating apps for the nokia.
Here is what Google think of HTML 5
If you are interested you can listen to these interviews with Scobleizer about @flash_platform and @palm and @Silverlight with @lkilpatrick at Half Moon Bay Ritz.

Is Flash DEAD? -
So, ok I'm going to go out on a limb here .. Flash won't exist in 2013 people will only be using Apple technology, new technology that Adobe have had to upgrade to and HTML5 or one of it's cousins.
There we are …. "Cry havoc and let slip the squirrels of war!"

Here is our take on the HTML5 "flash is dead" debate

Great post Stokoe.
It's not just Apple who are looking for alternatives to flash. I've been playing with YouTube's html5 beta and the CPU difference is massive. And I mean MASSIVE.
My gripe with all Adobe products has always been with the drain on resources they incur. I've recently abandoned Photoshop for Pixelmator for example and life is sweeter.
That Apple wants to protect its revenue is no surprise – they've always run a closed platform. Their interest is making money by producing excellent product. Alas, their shareholders have no interest in open platforms but that's the law of the Jungle. I'll be the first to sign up to a post-capatilist world but can't see any sign of it yet!!!
As for Google and "don't be evil", of course it's BS. The China issue has been interpreted as a human rights stand but clearly that's a smokescreen for the main issue relating to their cloud strategy being undermined by hackers. You can only blame IE6 for so long but respect to how they've made this a Microsoft problem not a Google one,
More provocative pieces like this please.
