The Middletown girls basketball team squeezed into the District 3 Class AAA playoffs last season, claiming the 20th and final playoff spot.
This season, the young Blue Raiders will depend on freshmen and a sophomore to return to the playoffs.
Sophomores Jey Rivera and Halle Marion are the only starters returning on the nine-member Raider team, which depends heavily on young players.

The following article was submitted by Alan Coulson, M.D., a panel physician at the Sandhills Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine in Hamlet. A vascular surgeon, he is board certified in hyperbaric medicine and a certified wound care specialist.
A patient of the Sandhills Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine asked me recently about swimming with an active wound. This reminded me of two things: Memorial Day marks the beginning of the barbeque and swimming season; and the mnemonic MAREVE because exposure to water other than clean drinking water can be very harmful to patients with wounds.
One of the areas of study when taking the Board Examination for Hyperbaric Medicine is the bacteria in water that can hurt patients. What may come as a surprise to some people is that water can be a source of deadly infection, sea water and pond water in particular.
The received wisdom is that bathing in salty water would be good for wounds, rather like the spa at Lourdes; but in fact nothing could be further from the truth.
MAREVE is an acronym for the names of deadly bacteria, which in some cases are worse than MRSA. They are: Mycobacterium marinum, AeRomonas species, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, Vibrio vulnificus, and Edwardsiells tarda.
By raising awareness of these infections, we can hopefully avoid the tragedy that befell Aimee Copeland, a 24-year old Georgia woman whose medical condition was being described on Facebook by her father as she progressively lost limbs to infection with flesh-eating bacteria found in water.
She fell from a zip line into the Little Tallapoosa River and suffered a deep cut in her leg. In her case, the infection was caused by Aeromonas hydrophila.
Once the bacteria have entered the body through an old wound or a fresh injury, a battle follows between the white cells of the body and the invading bacteria.
Diabetes, cancer, liver disease and steroid use weaken a person's immunity and make them more susceptible to infection. When it has progressed to the flesh-eating stage, emergency surgery is required.
More on these deadly bacteria:
• Mycobacterium is found in swimming pools, aquaria and in sea water. It is slow growing so it takes about six weeks from the time of exposure to the development of painful nodules on the elbows and hands, which then break down to form ulcers.
• Aeromonas species cause about half of the serious infections. They are found in fresh water lakes and rivers. The trauma is caused by stepping on something sharp while wading or by cutting one's hand with a fish hook. They are more numerous in warmer months and the bacteria can cause cellulitis, a spreading redness of the skin that can progress to flesh-eating necrotizing fasciitis or gas gangrene. Interestingly, the first published outbreak was in 2004 among players in a game of mud football in Australia. In Copeland's case, the same infection almost killed her.
• Erysipelothrix infection is also called fish handler's disease because it affects seafood packers and often starts in the fingers. Pain starts about three days after exposure. Soft tissue infection can spread to cause heart valve infection.
• Vibrio vulnificus lives in the sea water on the East Coast of the United States. It invades the body through a wound and the hallmark is the abrupt deterioration of the patient. It usually affects men and the legs. Within one or two days, the aggressive bacteria produce cellulitis, ulcers and flesh-eating symptoms. Fevers and chills may progress to septic shock and death in 50 percent of cases.
Besides the experience of a wound care specialist, the other important requisite is a clinical laboratory with skills in handling specimens to get accurate diagnosis and antibiotic sensitivities.
We are lucky to have Dr. Dell Dembosky, pathologist, and the Sandhills Regional Medical Center Laboratory. They have done a fantastic job with the hundreds of specimens we have sent them. Two years ago, the hospital laboratory identified two rare fungus infections for us in Wound Care Center patients.
Bottom line is if you have an open wound: Keep it away from unclean water; even the aquarium in the home can infect cut fingers. If you develop redness, swelling, or pain in a wound exposed to water, please don't wait. Seek medical attention.
About the Wound Care Center:
The Sandhills Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine is located at 108 Endo Lane, Suite 2, in Hamlet. It offers advance treatment for hard-to-heal wounds and houses two hyperbaric chambers. It is owned by Sandhills Regional Medical Center and managed by Healogics, formerly Diversified Clinical Services. For more information, call the center at 910-205-1525. Self-referrals accepted.

those AC1s are awesome bikes. with the right components/fork/shock, you can get it below the 35lb mark (barely), and then that's an incredibly light freeride bike.
I agree with you, i'm torn on the DH/XC riding, so I do XC because DH bikes/parts cost a ton. I have a Specialized Stumpjumper so it's fairly light. If I ever got the money I'd go with an Intense Uzi-SLX. 6" if travel w/ a 6" marzocchi up front only weighs about 30lbs. Now that would be a very climbable freeride bike! anyways, congrats on your new bike, and kind of components you got on there? |

I bought an AC frame from the factory, and i love it as well, right now i have a 120mm mantiou black up front, but im thinking of selling it and gettting something from bombshell, im thinking the bad betty and switching the shock from a rock shox to a FOX racing one that will pick me up some travel, and working on a replacement link that will give me a bunch more travel but it all costs money, so its gunna be at least after next riding season or maybe longer

I have a 33 pound RM pipeline that makes its way up and down hills just fine. Alls you gotta do is get used to the weight. Someday try to ride a xc hardtail after about a year on the ac and you'll fly up hills. My other bike is a 50 pound dher but it pedals up hills suprisingly well when I wanna actually put forth the effort and it's got a 44t up front. But then again 50 pounds and 7.5 inches of travel on both ends is not the most exciting way to get up a hill, but it goes down pretty nice. Have fun with the bike, I've ridden it before and it's a blast.

How a bubble helped accelerating innovation in Greenwire
0 Comments Published in Uncategorized on 6 April 2011 by Carsten Koelbek
Recycling and reselling of used electronic devices – a bubble bursting
Rainmaking launched a new company, Greenwire, last year, which is specialising in recycling and reselling of used electronic devices (mobile phones, laptops, printers, game consoles etc.). The company is for example trading under the brand www.simplydrop.co.uk, which we purchased from Royal Mail.
In the last 3 months we have seen the reselling prices in Hong Kong (where the most buyers are placed) dropping dramatically. In any commodity trading market you will expect price fluctuations and in this market fluctuations have historically varied by up to 10% in the last 7 years. In the last 6 months prices paid to consumers in UK for smartphones kept going up as more players entered the market. This was further strenghtened by the fact that one player started pricing very aggressively on price comparison sites and all other followed like lemmings to avoid losing market share. In the end the cash paid for mobile phones in UK was out of sync with the demand in Hong Kong and the prices dropped by 60% over 2½ months.
This has caused servere problems for many players, since there typically is a long lead time from pricing a phone on a website and until you collect, process and finally resell the devices. Many have therefore been stuck with huge stocks and have to take the decision to either take a bath on the margin by realising the losses now – or getting funding to keep stock and wait and hope for better prices in the future.
In our case we decided to take the losses now and then adjust prices rapidly to reflect the new market situation. This has caused a loss, but we think it is better to get ahead of the curve and start building sensible pricing – even if this causes loss of market share in the short term.
Accelerating innovative improvements
The interesting learning for us has been to see how the last 3 months of dramatic drops in prices and resulting losses have accelerated the development of new innovative improvements for Greenwire.
When we launched Greenwire we already thought we made dramatic improvements to the business we took over (Simply Drop from Royal Mail). We did for example:
- lower acquisition costs per device by 30%
- lower processing costs by 50%
- reduce overhead by 50%
- introduce new value proposition to customer using vouchers via new platforms (see www.opensesame.co.uk)
We therefore already felt lean and innovative, however, the new situation has accelerated new innovations, which we honestly probably would not have done at least for another 6-12 months. This includes:
- accelerating international expansion
- finding new acquisition channels where we are less dependent on cash payment to customer (i.e. where customers are less price sensitive)
- finding new buyers who have more niche needs, i.e. we break up our batches into smaller batches where each part has a more hungry buyer
- investing into further improvements of our IT platform
All in all we think this will help us having a more solid business going forward, but I would have wished we did not need a bubble to burst before accelerating innovation. It is probably naive to think that we will not fall back into some kind of complacency again, but I will do my best to maintain innovation – and maybe every 6 months create a "constructive crisis", which can help spark innovation and make us take radical decisions and make radical improvements faster, instead of small incremental improvements.

Bling Bling | Jewelry | Fashion Clothing
Bling (or Bling-Bling)
By: Ashlee Kozel
The definition of "Bling" according to Urban Dictionary (my fav) is flashy or gaudy jewelry, named for the sound generated when worn. Some may think that gaudy isn't a good thing, but I personally enjoy anything that sparkles, no matter how overdone it may be. Most outfits deserve some bling bling, but not an excess amount in ones everyday threads. For most, a wedding ring and some diamond earrings is the perfect combo for any and every outfit. Then, when there is a special occasion, if you love to shine, you can pack on the glitz.
The bling phenomenon is really a fashion staple, including jewels, sequins, glitter, and the many other forms of bling. I personally enjoy a dress made entirely out of sequins (that is me pictured below in an Alice + Olivia rose sequin dress) but for others, just mixing neutrals with a blinged out necklace is daring enough! No matter what your "bling comfort zone" may be, any sparkly addition will surely make you feel like you bling, bling just like a diamond!

Canterbury captain George Whitelock was a proud skipper after his team became the first side to win the ITM Cup five times in succession.
Whitelock is the only player to have featured in all five championship-winning finals.
Playing on their home ground at AMI Stadium in Christchurch, Canterbury weathered a torrid opening attack by Auckland and trailed 6-13 before piling on 25 unanswered points.
Auckland came back with a try on full-time but by then the game was firmly in Canterbury's grip.
"We had to dig deep but I am really, really proud of the team," said Whitelock.
"The line-out was outstanding. We did a lot of work during the week and we came up with a plan that worked."
"There's depth in Canterbury and there is a good crop coming through," Whitelock added.
Auckland captain Daniel Braid, who played his 100th game for the union, said his side had started off really well but had lacked big game composure.
"The set piece cost us. It was a bobbled ball from a lineout just before half-time that was costly. We didn't quite nail our lineout," he said.

Listen: The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion — "Bag of Bones"
Posted by Cameron LaFlamThe Jon Spencer Blues Explosion have released a hip-shaking new single called "Bag of Bones." The song stems from their upcoming record Meat And Bone.
Originally, the trio came out with a series of distortion-drenched albums in the '90′s and early 2000′s before taking a hiatus for other musical projects. Now, after rekindling their fiery chemistry upon going on a recent tour, the band decided to record their first new set of songs since 2004′s Damages.
Known for being prolific and passionate, Jon Spencer howls with the best of them on this particular track. Sounding like an amalgamation of Mick Jagger, Iggy Pop, and David Yow, the singer gives an off-the-cuff vocal performance. Leading in with a harmonica romp, the track spits out bluesy riff after riff.
Meat And Bones comes out on September 18 via Boombox/Mom + Pop. Go ahead and listen to "Bag of Bones" over at Rolling Stone.

2013 Yom Hashoah V'Hagvura
Cleveland Commemoration of the Holocaust & Heroism
Creative Arts Contest for
Middle and High School Students
Cash prizes for winners
Cleveland's annual Yom Hashoah V'Hagvura, Holocaust & Heroism Commemoration, will take place on Sunday, April 7, at 2 p.m., at Park Synagogue. This annual event is an opportunity to remember the six million Jews who perished during the Holocaust (1939-1945) as well as honor survivors, liberators and rescuers. As we remember and honor, we also look to the future and strive to build a world where such horrors will never happen again.
All students in grades 6-12 in Northeast Ohio schools are invited to participate in a Creative Arts contest for creative writing and visual arts. Winners and their schools will be recognized at the program and winning entries will be published in the Cleveland Jewish News. Cash prizes totaling $2,500 will also be awarded.
This year's Creative Arts theme is "The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising."
This year marks the 70th Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. For over one month in 1943, Jewish resistance fighters held off their German oppressors in a stunning display of courage and heroism. Use the experience of the uprising or other uprisings as an inspiration for your creative arts project. You may want to adopt the vantage point of a resistance fighter, ghetto inhabitant in hiding or an outside viewer of the events.
Works will be judged on interpretation of theme, originality and technique. Deadline for entries is February 1, 2013.
For questions, e-mail email@example.com.
Program is coordinated by the Kol Israel Foundation, Kol Israel Generations and the Jewish Federation of Cleveland.
Co-sponsored by area agencies, organizations, congregations and individuals

breaking news
The Rendell administration has never passed a budget on time since Rendell took office...and this year the pattern looks like its going to continue. No bill has reached the Governor's desk as of Friday night. Rendell says, "were not going to pass it by tomorrow (Saturday) but well be able to keep working and Im optimistic well pass a good budget and the right budget."
The state budget is constitutionally required to be signed into law by midnight on June 30th. Representative Pat Harkins says the potentially missed deadline is not solely the fault of disagreements in negotiations on the floor. He says there are major health concerns among three legislators... a heart attack, low blood pressure and a death in the family.
Harkins adds the major issues in the budget are transportation and education funding followed by energy initiatives the Governors trying to pass which are also slowing down the process.
Members of the GOP say Rendell is asking for more money than the house or the senate are willing to give.
"The consensus among the general assembly is that we should have a budget that's in the 2 to 3 percent spending increase range. The Governor wants much more than that and that's where the battle lines are drawn right now."
Currently the budget has a 27-billion dollar spending plan which is about a 2.7 percent increase from last year. Lawmakers hope not to push the deadline too much past Tuesday.

Posted 4/24/2013 by Maggie Bieniek
Last Thursday, I woke up with a river in front of my house. It was almost seventy degrees outside and my neighbor was barefoot and knee-deep in rain water trying to rescue his drowning car. It was just a matter of time before the weather changed to sunny with a massive temperature drop. What we can learn from Mother Nature is that change is constant and inevitable. We have to learn to roll with the punches.
In my case, the flooding forced me to stay home where I tackled my reading list. I started with Peter Bregman's book, 18 Minutes: Find Your Focus, Master Distraction, and Get the Right Things Done, which was provided to BLI attendees and staff over a month ago. After scanning some of the chapters, it is evident that the professional world is also very much like the weather. Every day, we deal with changes, uncertainties, and concerns about time. One minute everything is dry and sunny and the next there is a massive flood because of forgotten deadlines, a crashed network, or a dip in non-dues revenue. All of these more minor interruptions come amidst a crisis in the legal profession and constantly advancing technology. To combat the onslaught, we need to take action. In Bregman's words, instead of not rocking the boat, we need to "Rock on". What is your association doing to rock the change? Updating your membership model? Starting a new program? Investing in social media? We'd love to know. Email firstname.lastname@example.com.

FOR several months each year the brains behind Melbourne-based Circus Oz disappear into a Port Melbourne facility known as "The Lab" to revitalise the age-old traditions of juggling, clowning and acrobatics.
It is a tricky business, said tour manager Nic Dorward, and new technology and political references are often the answer.
"In The Lab we look at circus tricks and how we can present them in different ways or in a way that makes sense to people today," he said.
Some of the latest offerings born from The Lab make it to the stage in From the Ground Up, which opened at Illawarra Performing Arts Centre last night.
The stunt-driven performance is set around a faux construction site, and features subversive humour and beats from Oz's drums.
The 14-member ensemble includes hip-hop-dancing ringmistress Ghenoa Gela, who, with song and monologue, serves as the mouthpiece for much of Oz's message against racism.
Gela and acrobat Dale Woodbridge are graduates of the group's Indigenous Master Class, which aims to draw indigenous talent to the 34-year-old circus.
The ensemble includes Jeremy Davies as tragic magician Magic Hammond and juggling aficionado Hazel Bock.
From the Ground Up continues until September 16. Tickets are $59, discounts available.

I've said this a bunch of times, but never really took pictures or explained my position until just now, when I was prompted by another thread to show exactly what the problem is.
The problem is that the m4 rail is slightly "shorter" than a 1913 rail when you measure it's height from the receiver, but more importantly it is made up of "stubs" instead of a solid "bar" of rail.
The result is that optics mounts (most all of which are made for 1913 picatinny spec) have 2 small, shallow "stubs" to grab onto in order to anchor the optic, as opposed to a full height, full width "bar" that lets it fully grab on as was intended.
The end result of this is that your optic is not mounted to the receiver rail nearly as strongly as it would be the m4 used a proper 1913 rail. You can and will twist/scrap/contort/ruin your mount/rail if you use your weapon roughly, shoot heavy rounds consistently or drop/snag/smash your m4. It happens, rail damage occurs as a result in most cases.
I personally botched up up a Larue Tactical EOTech mount a few years ago in this manner, as I did not realize that the m4's bootleg rail would cause an issue. I shot my weapon quite a bit and handled it roughly, and I have an optic mount that has been "pushed" out of shape as a result. You can see it in the last picture ... other members on this forum and on other boards have had similar things occur.
As I was saying in the other thread, this is reason alone to consider getting a replacement top optic rail for your m4 ... but upon further inspection it seems that both Mesa Tactical and Sidearmor (the 2 companies I was going to suggest) both use the Benelli "stub" style rail, and they both claim it to be 1913 picatinny ... which it is not.
Behold, the 1913 picatinny specification:
As you can see, the spec calls for full "bars" of rail, not "stubs" as Benelli and all the benelli accessory makers seem to be copying.

Create an account server configuration file for node #1: /etc/swift/account-server/1.conf and add the following lines to the file
[DEFAULT] devices = /srv/1/node mount_check = false bind_port = 6012 user = swift log_facility = LOG_LOCAL2 [pipeline:main] pipeline = account-server [app:account-server] use = egg:swift#account [account-replicator] vm_test_mode = yes [account-auditor] [account-reaper]
We need to create the configuration for the rest of the three virtual nodes (/srv/2/node, /srv/3/node, /srv/4/node ) as well. So we simply make three more copies of 1.conf and set unique bind ports for the rest of the nodes (6022. 6032 and 6042) and different local log values (LOG_LOCAL3, LOG_LOCAL4, LOG_LOCAL5).
sudo cp /etc/swift/account-server/1.conf /etc/swift/account-server/2.conf sudo cp /etc/swift/account-server/1.conf /etc/swift/account-server/3.conf sudo cp /etc/swift/account-server/1.conf /etc/swift/account-server/4.conf
Now we need to edit the files 2.conf, etc. created by the above command and edit the bind port number and local log values.

In The Soldier's Tale, the Devil assumes several disguises in order to conceal his true identity from Joseph. He goes 'en travesti', complete with the skirts and headscarves of a Pedlar Woman, and for me this provided the most fun when it came to producing a maquette. A few weeks ago I made a small one of the complete figure…
… and yesterday completes a larger version of the head, shoulders and hands for close-ups. I had a last-minute notion to offer the audience… though not Joseph the Soldier… a subliminal flash of what lies under the Devil's disguise, and what we see is not comforting!
The-Devil-as-a-Pedlar-Woman taking shape on my work-table.
The claws are quite scary….
… as is his/her face…
…though beneath the disguise…
… lurks even worse!
* Quote from Conrad's Heart of Darkness.

The wine is aged primarily in stainless steel tanks with a small percent (less than 20%) kept in 600-liter demi-muids. Despite the 16.5% natural alcohol, there is not a trace of heat in this wine. It is stunningly concentrated with great intensity as well as classic blueberry, peppery, incense, camphor, fig and licorice characteristics. Rich and full-bodied with slightly more freshness than their profound 2007, the 2010 Mon Aieul should age effortlessly for two decades."

The Wine Advocate
"Opaque ruby. Powerful aromas of blackberry, lavender, cola and licorice, with a spicy topnote. Supersweet, broad and lush, with explosive red and dark berry flavors complicated by candied flowers and allspice. Finishes with resonating spiciness, broad velvety tannins and superb length.Range: 93-95 Points"
95 Points
International Wine Cellar
"bold, ripe, almost heady style, with thickly layered blueberry, fig and boysenberry fruit laced with mouthwatering spice and melted black licorice, followed by a long, fruitcake-filled finish. This has the stuffing and grip for cellaring, but ultimately for fans of the more bombastic style. Best from 2014 through 2030."

Accrington house fire under investigation
4:00pm Sunday 21st October 2012 in News
AN investigation has been launched after a fire in an empty rental property.
Police and firefighters have launched a joint invesitgation after neighbours spotted smoke pouring from a rear bedroom of a house in Cedar Street, Accrington.
Fire crews were called to the property shortly after 10am this morning.
A Lancashire fire service spokesman said: "At this stage the fire is being treated as suspicious. It looks to have started following a slow burn, in the same way a fire started by a discarded cigarette butt would look."
Anyone with information about the fire should call police on 101.

demon hunter with snare trap is easy mode drop a couple snares in a choke point let templar tank and spam the 2 target heat seeking arrow attack got my first 2 yellows off the skelly king an awesome crossbow and a shield for my templar.
Its like the TOR boards all over again. I have no expectations in this game so I am not all butt hurt about it
managed to get to 10..jerel got to 11..we had a kickarse co-op going there for awhile....sorry dunes and mithan for the mistells lol
rofl was funny I was playing with drack and elwood for awhile...but it was my roommates turn to make dinner, and it was ready so i bailed out. My sorc has died 3 times already. twice was dumb...once was at level 1...I went to go get a drink and came back to dead in the tavern...lol And they upped the difficulty a bit. Skelly King was a hard kill solo...
I havent died once and I have just started looking for the sword parts in the field with the goat people but I found some unexplored crypt which side tracked me. Then I got disconnected.
We are in same general area sith...the crypt was kinda cool...some peeps are not liking the wow like gfx...but i think they are much better than that....and the music in some of the areas is amazing...makes me to go back to mind altering substance days
I am loving the monk...played alongside a barb all night...they DPS like crazy...rolling a wizard when i get back in to play solo
i only got to lvl 20. i heard server eta is 1145 pacific so i probably won't be awake long enough to play anymore. darn! i'm playing wizard with my friend who is a monk. we've been using his spell that pulls all the mobs towards him while i use: diamond skin, the buff that shocks everything that hits you (storm armor), those tornadoes, the pbaoe spell, and the secondary skill that's a ball that explodes. now that im 20 u can make 4 of those balls surround you and they go off when a mob gets close to you. works pretty well since you can dump so much damage and not get hurt. it's more fun than trying to snipe every single mob.
Got my witchdoctor up to level 12. Still using darts and the grasp. The toads and spiders just seem slow and random and the firebats eat up way too much mana.
I played to around lvl 12, enjoying my Demon Hunter for the most part. No deaths so far. Once they get the servers sorted out I will likely start a Hardcore Mode character.
another thing I have noticed is this game is a lot more linear/corridorish than past diablo's. this game is diablo only in name not in spirit, I want blood and gore and dark gothic style graphics not a WoW artsy fartsy pastel colored world. now its still a fun game and I am enjoying the leveling/exploring and looting.
forgot to add everyone's battletag's last night. although I had like 12 requests waiting for me when I logged in The drops and gameplay has been more fun with people. But solo seems to level you faster...
its not the coloring for me its the style of art. I mean in the past the whole reason diablo did the 2d top view was so they could have high res models with current tech. Its 2012 is it to much to ask for a high res realistic looking models instead of this stylized stuff?
Um, yeah. The reason they do it so not everyone has to go out and purchase a new 3k machine to run the damn thing. It's called playerbase, and Blizzard understands what is needed to have one.
should be able to zoom in and out I hope that gets patched in sometime kinda silly that you can only see the detail of an armor set at the character screen unless I am missing something
much better i'm a noob one of the first things I used to do when I started a new game was test each and every key so lazy with the 360/ps3 now thanks
Considering they have a what , 10 million person playerbasewith that same requirement for their MMO, why not.
I just hit 19 with my Witch Doctor. Soul harvest + firebats with vampire bats rune = mega overpowered.
First shutdown all day...i knew it was coming...it got laggy as hell around 6 pm est...peak time.....sith i agree its a lil linear for diablo...a LITTLE...but come on...the cutscenes...the animation in combat....come on...it ROCKS!!!!
That wasn't a queue Sith it was a feature. The few times I've had to play I've had to endure lag and/or a server reset.
demon hunter with dual pistol xbows with piercing shot rapid fire and caltraps equals ownage pvp is going to be interesting with how overpowered these characters seem.
This game gets REALLY more interesting in nightmare. The difficultly is cranked up adds a lot more element to the game. The nightmare mobs gain additional abilities in pairs now too. I've ran into a Frozen + Arcane champion group that froze the ground (like normal frozen) but also makes arcane turrets that constantly shoot arcane beams out (hurts like hell, majorly). Evil combo right there. I also ran into some Night Mare + Fire Chain champion group also that has chains of fire connecting all 3 champion mobs, and they go out of their way to position themselves so it hurts you (touching it hurts a lot). This game is freaking awesome. I am level 34 Barb in Nightmare
Well lol, I died a few times on the Arcane + Frozen. That combination is deadly with those arcane turrets. I had to hide behind a pillar, after separating the group, and the first one I pretty much just went into Wraith of the Zerker (skill barbs get, turns them into a huge dude with frenzy and spell immunity) and suicided on the first. That's sort of went i realized how hard that fight was going to be, even though I killed one. The other ones was me positioning myself behind the pillars and keeping heads up of when and where the frozen explosion were gonna be (which knock off about 1/3 of my life by that alone). In that process it took around 2 more deaths to kill the other 2. The skellies with firechain I didn't die on, but they were still wicked tough. Luckily there was a big group of mobs so they were getting blocked by them while I focused on each one by one. When it was down to two of them and a single chain to worry about they really go out of their way to position themselves so i'll be right in its path while still being aggressive. Awesome AI. This was just in an Act 1 dungeon of course

I've normally built the OOo 1.9 series without mozilla bits with –disable-mozilla. The recent 1.9.54 now requires a bit of the mozilla-nss stuff which I've just used a few trivial hackarounds to get past. From our perspective the natural thing to do is simply use the system mozilla to link against anything that wants to do mozilla integration. And if there is perhaps some bits in OOo which don't play well with the contemporary mozilla then to not compile those bits when in "using system mozilla" compile time mode. Rather than consider the approach of hauling a gigantic ooo-specific mozilla fork around with us.
So in my travels to see who has work in progress on effectively "–with-system-mozilla" I ran into this beast of an issue. 18 months of accumulated comments in one bug does not make for easy reading, it goes with this longed lived workspace

¤ If your point-and-shoot has an optical viewfinder, switch off your LCD and use that instead. But do note that some of them may not be parallax-error corrected, so the sides of the image may get cropped off.
¤ In cold countries, keep your gadget warm by hiding it underneath the jacket you're wearing. Low temperatures can cause NP-FS11 batteries to drain faster, so warming them with your body heat keeps the sony NP-FS11 batteries in optimal condition for more shots.
¤ Try not to review your pictures too much or to record long video clips when the NP-FS11 camera battery is running low. These two functions are among the most draining on the SONY NP-FS11 battery, so minimise these activities if you intend to take more shots.
1: proper use of the LCD
Of all the components in a digital camera, the LCD display probably consumes the most power. But there are certain measures you can take to reduce its impact on battery life. Some cameras have an option where you can adjust the brightness of the LCD.
If your battery is weak, lower the intensity to an acceptable viewing level. Do note that lowering the brightness may affect viewing the screen under sunlight, so use your palm to shade the camera to prevent glare.
2: use power-saving options
If you delve into your camera's set-up menu, you might find an option that puts the shooter to sleep after a stipulated time. This reduces the power intake, but at the same time keeps it ready for action when a picture opportunity pops up.
We understand from Sony at a recent workshop that leaving the shooter in sleep mode consumes less energy than switching it on and off constantly. Combine this with the above tip and you should be able to squeeze out a few more shots before the cell goes flat.
3: battery maintenance
Caring for your battery is a conscious effort. Most people find their device's cell performance deteriorates after a year or so, and this can be partially attributed to careless maintenance. For instance, you should not charge the battery when it's still relatively full.
New SONY camera battery come in a discharged condition and must be fully charged before use it. It is recommended that you fully charge and discharge your new sony np-fs11 Battery 3 times to allow it to reach its maximum rated capacity.
¤ Usually a new np-fs11 battery comes in a very low charge condition and must be fully charged before use.
¤ Store the camera battery in a cool and dry place (The suitable temperature is about 15 °C).
¤ Especially need to pay attention is avoiding frequent over-charging and over-discharging your SONY battery, but it is important to condition (fully discharge and then fully charge) battery every two to three weeks
¤ The NP-FS11 battery will eventually lose its charge if unused for a long time as its self-discharging . So it is necessary to recharge the battery after a storage period.
¤ Don not setting your SONY NP-FS11 battery in the following place: high humidity and high temperature, strong vibrative and dusty .
¤ Battery memory doesn't apply to NI-MH batteries, so you dont care for your SONY NP-FS11 memory effect.
¤ Please take out the battery from your machine when it is not being used.
In the end, If you have any questions about SONY NP-FS11 digital camera Battery, please feel free to Contact us

On my hike today I can choose the ridge route or the one that follows the stream.
I can choose the rough and tumble one, the dusty one with risk of slipping down a deserty California hill or I can choose the one with very slight up-hills and easy down-hills.
The first one is hilly and hard and daunting. I look it up and down and I hate it already.
The second one is shady and winding and it really is easy. I could even stroll it if I choose. And it's the more populated one. It's the one with the families and dogs and jogger strollers. It's the one with cross country teams running for their personal bests.
The ridge route is peppered scantily with hikers, with guys with walking sticks and with people with wide-brimmed hats to shield the summer sun. Congregations of boot-campers, rattlesnakes and mountain lions all worry me there on the less traveled trail.
I don't want to be an English class cliche, but the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason. Robert Frost claims they look very similar but I know differently. They might begin the same {both of my canyon hikes begin at the parking lot} but as they move forward they look very, very different.
One is calm and shady. The other is hot and defiant.
But the best things in life do not come challenge-free. The best of the best comes with hard work, with pain, with grief and loss sometimes and always with risk.
Always with risk.
The reason why we are fat and addicted and lazy is we are conditioned to cocoon ourselves with comfort and safety. Food tastes good. Television looks good. Naps feel amazing. We are not conditioned to challenge ourselves.
We wonder why we live in ruts and routines? We want our lives to change? We want to accomplish something?
We don't because we don't set out for the difficult and for the challenging. We stay comfy and cozy in the easy and well-traveled. People who do big and great things have done hard things and their route is not well-traveled.
I promised myself years ago when I began hiking that canyon that whenever I made it to the top I would stop and look around. I would NOT simply continue to go. I would reap the gift of taking the hard path because from the top I can see the mountains, the city and the sea.
So I do stop and I breathe in the reward. I breathe out the challenge and the pain and I take in the ocean and the rest of it. And then the hurt and risk don't seem so great when I can sit and rest in the gift.
Today, let's take a less-traveled road. Each of us. Let us all choose something with which to challenge ourselves. Let us hike the hard, uphill, risky ridge route today.
I promise, the view is worth it.
Do you need to challenge yourself today? What is your less-traveled road?
The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
