The Brass Treasure Chest is an attractive, well-made puzzle. It looks great on my desk at work and has challenged a few of my colleagues. This was the first puzzle I bought, and it sparked my interest in this hobby. I played around with the box and thought I had it figured out in 10 minutes, but no, I had only solved the first of three steps required to open the box. Through sheer luck, I managed to have the box open within 30 minutes. The rest of the evening, and days that followed, I tinkered with the box, trying to figure out the moves that causes the secret mechanism to engage and disengage. I managed to understand the first and third steps to the solution, but the second "move" was the tricky one. I downloaded the solution and it was made clear how to consistently solve this puzzle. I loaned it to a buddy and he also managed to open it in an evening. I think a rating of 10 is a little high, but due to the workings of the box being concealed from view, it is a demanding little puzzle.
Looks nice but... - instructions were confusing - never got it fully open, even with the instructions, wasn't sure if it was stuck or it was just me.
Good puzzel,,,,, well made.... And when you think you got it open,,,,,, nope ;) some more work needs to be done ;) More than just one lock inside.
A beautifully made little box that's a joy to open and close. Very well made. However, I found that the sequence of steps required to open it is such that I don't think I'd ever have coincidentally worked it out on my own. I worked at it for about a month before finally looking at the solution. I'd never have hit upon it, and you can't figure it out by examination. But maybe others have felt differently. Nevertheless, I recommend it!
Still haven't quite gotten it open. The instructions were a bit confusing, too.

Multi-Core Vs Clock Speed |

Multi-Core Vs Clock Speed
I'm not sure I understand the advantages or disadvantages of each.
I imagine Multi-core (in the dual case) as two processors working on the same information to complete the task (reading, writing, whatever) in half the time. I imagine Clock Speed (I'm not sure if this is what you call it: ie: 3.4Ghz processor) as the rate at which it processes the information. If the above definitions are correct, then couldn't a high multi-core unit (with low clock speed) complete the same information in the same amount of time as a single core (with high clock speed)? Yet the single core is much cheaper? If this is the case, when why is everything going multi core and not increased clock speed? I have read Wikipedia and different articles, but I just need a down to earth definition. Thanks! |

In multi core like the intel core 2 series, each core could process a 1 and a 0. So it would take two separate cores to process a 1 and a 0. However with the new series of Core I7s and other cpus before the core 2 supports hyperthreading. This means that each core, or cpu if you will, will be able to process a 0 and a 1 using the same core rather then the old architecture that needed two separate cores. We are moving to multi core cpus because they can handle more information at a given time and especially with the same speed. So that means more information done faster. The single core could technically keep up, but the speed to do so would have to be very high. I hope this answers your question, and anyone correct me if I am wrong. |

The multi-core advantage is not n*x as some calculations are linear, with the next calculation based on the results of the last. Such operations can't easily be split to run in parallel.

Multi-Core Vs Clock Speed |
Jan31-12, 08:34 PM | #5 |
As you increase a CPUs core speed, you generate a lot of heat. At some point it becomes impractical to continue pushing the envelope. With smaller architectures, it became possible to embed two or four or eight cores onto a single chip. Creating a 4GHz processor for personal computers is a much less convenient task for chip designers than putting two 2GHz processors on one chip. Now you have 8-core CPUs that, even at 2GHz, would be impossible for CPU makers to match and turn into a commercial product (16GHz?).
The catch with multi-core processors is the fact that not all software can use them. Back in the day when they were first coming out they were practically useless. Very few programs were able to use parallel processing and one core would go completely untouched. I can't say for sure, but I would bet it's not a trivial task to redesign software to use parallel processing. |
Jan31-12, 08:48 PM | #6 |
It's not easy to rewrite software to be parallel by itself, so not many individual applications get much of a speed increase with mutlicore -- BUT it is pretty easy to split the work of multiple independent programs across cores.
Basically, your spreadsheet doesn't go 8x faster, but it doesn't slow down because you are also chatting on skype, playing an MP3, filtering e-mail, browsing the internet, etc at the same time. |
Jan31-12, 10:29 PM | #7 |
It would make sense then, that multi core processors are also more efficient then high clock speed single core processors as a single core will generate more heat to do the same amount of work?
Overclocking a multi core would destroy the efficiency gains. Alas! Performance will always prevail! Thank you gentlemen for your input. |

Jan31-12, 10:45 PM | #9 |
Sure. It would make sense that a processor that could perform that same work in the same amount of time with less heat is more efficient in its power consumption? I would assume that you are referring to the limiting factor? As in why we do not create higher frequency CPUs? I suppose that you could look at it on a thermodynamic perspective. Also, if a Multi Core processor says that it has a clock speed of 2.8Ghz, does that mean that each core operates at this speed? Or is it that the combined output is equal to that speed? Maybe I am looking at it wrong. . . if it is an operating frequency, then they must be that same? Right? I guess I was thinking that each processor (in the dual case) would be 2.8Ghz/2. . . |

just what the Pistons need: a third string center. Joe Dumars was replaced by a mean ol' alien a few years back you guys.
Hello: Maurice Hurst Jr.
Image credit: Brendan Hall/ESPN.com
As anticipated, Westwood (MA) Xavarian Brothers DT Maurice Hurst Jr. has committed to Michigan while visiting campus today, according to a report by 247's Todd Worly ($). Hurst is the son of former New England Patriots cornerback Maurice Hurst and is also a cousin of former St. Louis Rams superstar tailback Marshall Faulk. He becomes Michigan's 19th commit in the class of 2013 and the first at defensive tackle, perhaps the biggest position of need remaining in the class.
Scout | Rivals | ESPN | 247 Sports |
4*, #23 DT, #213 Ovr |
Hurst's rankings are split between Scout and 247, which see him as a four-star and around the #20 defensive tackle in the country, and Rivals and ESPN, which have him as a three-star and in the area of #30 at his position. All four sites list Hurst at 6'2", with his weight ranging from 275 (Scout/ESPN) to 290 (247). WolverineNation's Chantel Jennings wrote a recent feature on Hurst detailing his rise from a "pudgy" 5'9" freshman to a 6'2" BCS prospect and pegged his current weight at 290 pounds ($).
Hurst first started emerging on the scene around this time last year, impressing Rivals.com's Mike Farrell at the Northeast Five-Star Showdown ($):
Hurst is the son of the former New England Patriots cornerback of the same name and you can tell he has athletic genes. He has a nice frame that can still add weight but what really stands out about him is his quickness off the ball and his light feet. Hurst beat most of his opponents with his first step and he was able to win the leverage game most of the time as well. At times he can be too upright and present too much of a target. His footwork is excellent and he has natural balance, and he is very good at responding quickly to the initial punch of offensive linemen. He also showed a good motor.
Impressive athleticism is a common thread throughout Hurst's evaluations—as you'll see in his highlights, he's nimble enough to line up at running back in high school. ESPN's evaluation highlights his explosiveness while pointing out a few areas for improvement mostly pertaining to his technique ($):
You would like to see more consistency but displays a good first-step that can allow him to quickly get penetration. He is at his best when he can fire out and primarily be a penetrator that disrupts schemes. Flashes the ability to be tough when taking on blockers as he can quickly fire out low and gain leverage and with solid strength hold his ground. While he does possess a quick first-step he can at times almost as quickly pop up and play tall and needs to work to consistently keep his pads down. He does display some rigidness and while he can get penetration he displays adequate ability to quickly change direction. He gives good effort and stays after the play showing the ability to take proper angles in pursuit. Displays solid long speed. He will try and wrap-up as a tackler and displays strong hands for drag down types. As a pass rusher he is capable of getting a quick hard charge up-field to get pressure. Will flash the ability to try and work some moves to help work past, but needs to continue to develop in this area to help when he can't just quickly blow past blockers.
As is evident on his tape, Hurst is a very disruptive presence on the interior of the line, a guy who uses his leverage and quickness—a la Mike Martin—to work his way into the backfield with regularity. In November of last year, Scout's Bob Lichtenfels tabbed Hurst as the top prospect in the East region who hadn't yet earned recognition as a top 100 player, comparing him to another collegiate standout ($):
Westwood (Mass.) Xaverian defensive tackle Maurice Hurst Jr., I hate comparing players to kids we've seen in the past, but watching Hurst reminds me of watching Marvin Austin. Kids who are 6-2/275 are not supposed to be able to move the way he does. Not too mention when he isn't wreaking havoc in the other teams backfield he is playing in his own backfield. Not many kids that size can pull that off.
Hurst has an invite to the Army All-American Game, a potential sign that his rankings will be on the rise in the future. His combination of size and athleticism is sure to turn some heads.
Hurst chose Michigan over fellow finalist Virginia, and he also held offers from Michigan State (where he visited yesterday), Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio State, Boston College, UConn, Duke, Maryland, Mizzou, N.C. State, Purdue, Rutgers, Temple, Vanderbilt, and others.
Hurst tallied 61 tackles, 13.5 TFL, nine sacks, and four forced fumbles as a junior en route to being named first-team all-state.
247 lists Hurst with a 4.88, while his highlight tape credits him with a 4.92. Both seem pretty reasonable for a tackle noted for his athleticism; I'll give those a two FAKEs out of five.
Junior highlights:
Pretty epic fat guy touchdown at the :25 mark.
Hurst is reportedly being recruited as a three-tech DT, though he has the size to potentially play the nose down the road if needed—that may depend on who else Michigan adds to the class. If he ends up at three-tech, Hurst should get a redshirt year since Michigan brought in Willie Henry, Matt Godin, and potentially Chris Wormley at the position in the 2012 class. After that redshirt year, he'll be in position for fight for time against those three and a senior Kenny Wilkins; given that he's got a higher recruiting profile than all the '12 recruits save Wormley, he's got a good shot at contributing as a redshirt freshman.
If, say, Michigan brings in MD DT Henry Poggi as a three-tech and slides Hurst over to the nose, he'd be right in the mix to back up Ondre Pipkins from the moment he arrives on campus.
Hurst fills a huge need along the defensive line, but the coaches will likely bring in another defensive tackle, with the top target being Poggi. TX DT Hardreck Walker, who just got bumped up to four stars on Rivals, is another possibility.
The remaining needs are another wide receiver—that spot is currently being held for IL WR Laquon Treadwell—as well as potential depth at strongside DE and in the defensive backfield. For the most part, Michigan can continue to target the best players available. The pace of recruiting should slow considerably with the Wolverines already having filled 19 spots in what should be a 23-24 player class.

Looks like a great player, his run the third play of the video was quite spectacular. Speaking of the video, can you please put a warning on them from now on if they might risk blowing up your speakers? Apparently Fox Business online uses slightly different volume levels than YOUTUBE; damn near gave me a heart attack and I could'nt find the volume switch so my wife started yelling, per usual. And yes young man, I do understand that it may be "Game Time". Excited to have another great player on board.

I honestly don't mean this to be sarcastic or patronizing:
You've become one of my favorite posters. For some reason, I find everything that you write hilarious, and I think that's true whether you're actually in your 70s or some guy pretending that he's in his 70s.
His post has me in tears of joyous laughter. It is of flawless contruction. I pray that it is all real, but can also commend the creative genius if it is simply a persona.
Except for the other thing. That hurts the most. But the lack of respect hurts the second most.
For added enjoyment, cue up pretty much any song on Biggie's "Ready to Die" album, you'll be glad you did.
I tried "Me & My Bitch" and "Big Poppa" first for obvious reasons...not bad. Everyday Struggle was alright. Juicy...Juicy is the undeniable winner.
"True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty."
Welcome to Michigan!
Really like his tape. This kid could be down right scary with some further improvement in his technique.
Big10 backfields, meet Mr. Hurst!
"True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty."
Are you tryng to make my computer and brain explode?
It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
...should be illegal.
"True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty."
It just keeps going and going and going and going...
Great form, hip movement and pad level. Happy with the coverage, but still has opportunity for improvement.
Ok . I'm a female, and you still just made me happy with that post.
Suck it, Dantonio!!
"I think Hoke has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell people in Ohio are starting to believe him. Never in a million years I would have thought that. Selling Michigan jerseys is a good start."
we needed another bowlingball in the middle.... A nice get for Big Blue....
CJK5H - allegedly....
This kid looks solid great technique and explosiveness for a 3-tech DT should most definitly be a solid pick up in the long run and has potential to be a truly elite defensive tackle.
We must not falter! Show strength, show courage, show pride, but show no mercy!
Opened this thread with the wife behind me...lol.
Anyway, Hurst reminds me of Kevin Grady running the football.
...honey, it's Kate Upton, see...she's a big Michigan fan, and well --- wait, no this isn't...it's a blog, it's called MGoBlog.com...no it's not Michigan porn it's a blog. No wait, listen, like it's for Michigan news. I know what the Ann Arbor News is honey. This is where fans can --- see, when Michigan gets a commit, someone always posts. It's not a message babe, it's not like texting or facebook, it's a blog.
...yes, I'll do the dishes.
"True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty."
May this prove to be your best decision as you embark on an awesome career.
A repeat national championship in 2017…what better way to celebrate the bicentennial?
Part 1: Now that he has committed to Michigan we can be assured his Ohio offer was "non-commit table"
Part 2: It doesn't matter that he is yet another 4 star player who said no to Sparty as "Coach D is a better evaluator of talent and will coach up a player who really wants to go to State".
Add any additional meme as indicated...

To be fair, Virginia isn't exactly USC or Alabama.
Denard has spent the offseason working really hard and smiling at people.
Still had offers from MSU, OSU, and Nebraska
I put up a tough front, but deep down I just want to be held.
I'll say...
20. Henry Poggi
21. Laquon Treadwell
22. Leon McQuay / Kendall Fuller
23. A RB...Derrick Green / flipping Ty Issac? / Late-fill with Berkley Edwards?
24. A luxury sleeper...a 2nd QB (Boyle? Walsh?), another WR (Gladney?), a true C (Peterson?), a true NG (Crayton? Gibbs?), a SLB (Lane? Worley?) or another CB (Garner?)
"True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise — the other, loyalty."
Great pick up. I notice that he wears #11 in HS. Could this foreshadow that Hurst will be the first player to don the Wistert Brothers Legend Jersey?
I think he should wear #37 like his dad.
Ace...there's a $50 in my pocket with your name on it if you call young master Hurst, Jr. a "fat guy" to his face. Oh, and if you post the carnage of what takes place after that to YouTube, I'll throw in another $20.
/not really
We ARE Michigan....COME GET SOME!!!
At 6'2", 290 lbs., he's a perfect fit for the 3-tech at that weight.
But he's only a high school junior. So if he gets any bigger - which seems likely - he'll also be a great fit as a potentially stout *and* disruptive 1-tech. Looking forward to seeing the type of player he'll be once our coaches get to work with him.
De gustibus non est disputandum
"Hurst has an invite to the Army All-American Game, a potential sign that his rankings will be on the rise in the future."
Sound familiar, Ondre Pipkins?
"A Michigan Man will coach a Michigan Team"
Courtesy of our friends at Michigan State:
First, when Maurice is still "considering" the Spartans...four hours ago ago (lol)...
Has Sean wrote an article on his MSU visit yet?
Not yet. I was referring to Hurst stepping away from Twitter for a minute to really take in the visits. We're both good schools and always seem to get a good to great review from recruits. Kids usually seem to have a good visit unless something goes terribbly wrong so there is not always a need to light up twitter saying things like "awesome visit" and things like that. Or.....maybe he's just really busy visiting back to back schools that could really be a good fit for him. I don't know.
Any of the schools he is looking at would make a great destination for the kid.
And then he commits to us...
Why the hell did this kid even visit if his plans were to commit the second he hit aa? What a fucking joke.
Not gonna lie, we really do not have the best salesmen for recruits. Coaching, they are amazing, but you gotta sell the program better than they are. No reason to keep losing these linemen to Scum every time.
It's going to be mighty annoying watching a UM team full of guys our staff wanted
We better hope our staff is much, much better at develeopment. Because if we agree they are great at evaluation, UM is going to be stacked.
Moran! So tired of so-called Spartans pissing themselves whenever a recruit picks another school. Forty years of the wilderness doesn't get erased in 5 years, get that through your rock hard skull!
Nothing better than a good old fashioned Sparty Meltdown!
You can check out all the glorious bits (here), for as long as the Spartans keep the link anyway. lol GO BLUE
Full-on Decatur Clan. Whatever happens, GO BLUE!

Situated on the northeastern edge of the city, PDX is a 40-minute light rail ride away from downtown. While the airport's Oregon Marketplace offers a full menu of shops (including a Powell's Books), its food selection also impresses. Travelers have their pick of microbrews, German fare, and sushi, among other dishes. First opened in 1958, the airport serves 13 million travelers annually.

"Quick Over Night Stay"
Our room was adequate, however it was surprising that the only door in the bathroom was to the toilet. Leaving the shower totally open with the exception of a shower curtain. The fan in the toilet room did not work which made that unpleseasnt. The room was very clean, and the beds were quite good, a little too firm for me but very good quality beds […] and bedding. We scheduled a wake up call as we needed to make sure we made it to the airport. The call came through right on time, however, the phone was so quiet, that had we not already been awake, we would not have heard it. The breakfast was not available as we needed to be to the Airport long before the scheduled time, I did receive a to-go bag, witch contained two granola bars, and one package of peanut butter crackers. For that part, I was seriously unimpressed. The front desk staff were quite friendly and professional. When I asked what the menu of breakfast would have been, it was biscuits & Gravy, cold hard boiled eggs, and Eggo waffles . From the sounds of things, I really didn't miss much. As this review is a mixed bag of positive and challenges, I don't really care if it is posted, but it would be nice it the establishment could know to both hand out praise were needed, and address areas of challenge.

Hotel is in a confusing location. Not a safe looking neighborhood. Shuttle takes you to the airport, but I wouldn't say the hotel is anywhere near the airport.

I bought 3 of these for my granddaughter's new "big girl" room and, WOW!, were we impressed!!! I'm a careful shopper - knew what I wanted to get her, read the reviews, made sure it was OK with her parents, and then ordered them. First, the fabric is amazing - VERY HIGH QUALITY! (I worked in a textile market at one time and know enough about fabrics to speak intelligently on the subject.) The granddaughter's new room is in the front of their home and has windows facing the south and west so I knew they needed something that was going to be insulating and block the sun - these fit the bill perfectly. They look so nice hanging and everyone that has seen them has commented on them in a positive way. I've got to tell you I truly wish there were more colors available because I'm seriously considering buying more for use in my own home!!!
Purchased these black out curtains for front bedroom(2) dormers that had starlight,moonlight, sunlight and street light streaming through them at all hours of the day and night. When I had a house full of guest coming, I ordered and put up this shade and it blocked all light at night and about 90% of East/South sunlight exposure during the day. I would highly recommend these to all night shift workers like myself because after 30 years of sleepless days, I can finally get a good days rest. I purchased the black out curtains and they provide a 90% decrease in room light. I've since put a valance over the window and have to use a room light or flash light during the day to see it's that dark. I am a 30 year night shift veteran.....Buy them!!! Buy them in the darkest color available (Ihave navy blue and black) and get a good night sleep.
I love these Roman Tie-up Shades! The colors are true, material is soft, and looks nice from both inside and out. I had plain white black out shades in my sons room, awful looking, but did the job. These black out all the light, keep the room cool AND look great. They stand up to washing and drying as well! I bought four, 2 in Navy and 2 in Burgundy.
Great blockout drape with a beautiful light blue fabric on inside to look at as well!! My husband works nights & sleeps during daylight hours so a "true blackout" feature was top priority. I'm ordering more asap.
I ordered and got my product quickly! They are great much better than the heavy thermal insulated drapes and the black out shade keeps out sun and heat. I will buy more for other rooms in my home. I am very pleased with this buy!!!
they were an inch too small so I returned them I was heartbroken
Measure your window width well. These fit our window, but a bit too much light was coming in the edges. What we did was leave up the drapes we had already, and hang this curtain between them. That looks nice and it is perfect for our bedroom. One thing we didn't think of was opening the curtain in the morning. It's awkward on one of the windows, just do to being able to reach it easily. The other window is okay. But it is an extra step to have to tie up the curtain with two ties and have it folded nicely. All that said, we have a window air conditioner unit. The curtain ties up so we can expose the AC while keeping the rest of the window covered. Very convenient and much less cumbersome than pull back drapes on that window. We'd buy them again, because these are very efficient at keeping the light out.
I bought these curtain/shades and also ordered some from two other on-line stores because I could not find what I wanted in any of the traditional stores. I took a chance the color would be just what I wanted and when they arrived, they were perfect. Heavy weight (whereas the others I purchased from other on line stores were very cheap feeling) and they look perfect in my home. I have no complaints and would order from Overstock again and again.
Ultimately, I returned these curtains. However, not because there was anything wrong with the description and/or color of them. They were actually very nice. They just didn't end up working on the window for which I ordered them. But I would order them again for anther room.
these are a wonderful way to either blockout light or just make my windows look great I love them and again will buy more soon

One thread and done! where's the movie you fucking Hump?
I think he realized no one is interested, and was also afraid Clumpy Stern would turn him in to CUNY for plagiarism. Why he sent that paper instead of ignoring him speaks to the fact that he is not thinking clearly.
Yep! Spot on! I just didn't wanna go through the 5000 posts to find that out! He's back in loser ville no doubt.
Cabbie has left the building. He asked me to ask Dawg to delete his account but as you know dawg can't be bothered with all that. If you don't want to post here, don't post here. There's no reason to delete an account over it.
The above statement is being made of my own free will. This site neither condones nor agrees to anything I post but for my right to post what I feel.
Can Dawg or Dead Air confirm that cabbie deleted his account! Just wondering why he would drop a wig bomb and scoot out the door? Must have been the crack, but the Brett Ostrosky blast was too funny.

Steelers 2013 Draft
1--Jarvis Jones OLB Georgia
2--Jesse Williams NT Alabama
3--LeVeon Bell RB Michigan State
4--Jordan Poyer CB Oregon State
5--Earl Wolff SS North Carolina State
6--Josh Boyd NT Mississippi State
6---Conner Vernon WR Duke
7--Vince Williams ILB Florida State
I doubt the Steeler will have enough cash to sign any FA's but if they somehow end up with that option they might want to consider Ramses Barden of the N.Y. Giants.
The giants have some playmakers at that position that made it tough for Barden to see the field much, but with playing time he could be a nice mix to our corps. At > Height/Weight:6-6/224 Ben couldn't ask for any bigger of a target.
We could probably get him at a decent salary since he's not in the limelight like some of FA's out there.
If Wallace goes to another team, then we need a #1. Is Hartline the guy? IDK. My first thoughts would be no, and I would rather let A. Brown take over that role. Sanders and Cotchery are great #2 and 3s imo. Brown will have to show he can learn the position but I do not question his work ethic. Draft a guy on the second day and we could still have a more than average WR corp with Plax rounding it out. Someone scouting the WR's has the hot hand, let them draft another. I would rather spend the frugal FA money elsewhere.
A dynamic TE thru the draft would ease the burden of Brown transitioning to the #1 spot possibly. Let Leonard Pope go bless something....something away from Latrobe.
This would be a nice FA signing....http://i2.cdn.turner.com/si/dam/asse...-image-cut.jpg
Whooooo hooooooo!!!!!

Introducing Japan
Japan is a world apart – a cultural Galápagos where a unique civilisation blossomed, and thrives today in delicious contrasts of traditional and modern. The Japanese spirit is strong, warm and incredibly welcoming.
Japan Is Open for Travel Since 11 March 2011, one cannot talk about or consider visiting Japan without the devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck northeast Japan coming up. Yet, rather than focus on the immediate horrors and lingering fears of the tragedy, one should focus on the beauty and accessibility of Japan today. One should note how the Japanese people, resilient and steadfast, behaved after the waters receded: they gathered calmly in evacuation shelters, set off bravely on rescue missions, began the task of rebuilding.
Every image from those first weeks reflects some of the culture's highest virtues: the ability to gambaru (do their best) and to gaman (bear suffering without complaint). They also capture the famous Japanese thoroughness and civility. This spirit will allow the Japanese people to rebuild northern Japan faster than anyone expects. And it is this very same spirit that makes travelling in Japan such a joy.
Do not avoid Japan because of fear. The March 2011 disaster was of once-in-a-lifetime proportions, and even at the height of the crisis most of Japan was perfectly safe for travel. At the time of writing, only a small area of Fukushima Prefecture was off limits.
Japan is wide open for travel. If you have been considering your first visit to Japan or returning to re-experience the unique magic of the country, the perfect time to go – and to celebrate Japan and its people – is now.
Japan Is Approachably Exotic Japan hits the travel sweet spot. It's unique enough to give you regular doses of 'Wow!' without any downside. Indeed, travelling in Japan is remarkably comfortable, even with the language barrier thrown in – but it's never familiar. Staying in a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) is marvellously different from staying in a chain hotel. Soaking naked in an onsen (hot spring) with a bunch of strangers might be a little odd at first, but it is beyond relaxing. Sitting in a robe on tatami mats eating raw fish and mountain vegetables may not be how you dine back home, but it is unforgettably delicious.
Japan Makes You Think Perhaps more than any country on earth, Japan makes you think. It is a country that took a good, hard look at the West and said 'We'll take your technology, but we're keeping our culture'. It was never extensively missionised or colonised. It practises an ancient animist/pantheist religion while pushing the boundaries of modern technology. It is a country where tens of millions of people can cram into crowded cities without ever losing their temper. And while you explore Japan, you will regularly find yourself awed by how the Japanese do things – and perhaps, just as often, wondering 'Why don't we do it that way back home?'

What is Tirosint (Levothyroxine)?
Levothyroxine is a replacement for a hormone that is normally produced by your thyroid gland to regulate the body's energy and metabolism. Levothyroxine is given when the thyroid does not produce enough of this hormone on its own.
Levothyroxine treats hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone). Levothyroxine is also used to treat or prevent goiter (enlarged thyroid gland), which can be caused by hormone imbalances, radiation treatment, surgery, or cancer.
Levothyroxine should not be used to treat obesity or weight problems.
Levothyroxine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
In This Section:
What is the most important information I should know about Tirosint (Levothyroxine)?
Since thyroid hormone occurs naturally in the body, almost anyone can take levothyroxine. You should not use this medication if you have had a heart attack, a thyroid disorder called thyrotoxicosis, or an adrenal gland problem that is not controlled by treatment.
Before you take levothyroxine, tell your doctor if you have a serious thyroid disorder (thyrotoxicosis), heart disease, coronary artery disease, diabetes, anemia, problems with your pituitary or adrenal glands, a history of blood clots, if you have recently had a heart attack, or if you are having any symptoms of a heart attack (chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling).
If you use insulin or take diabetes medicine by mouth, ask your doctor if your dose needs to be changed when you start using levothyroxine.
Different brands of levothyroxine may not work the same. If you get a prescription refill and your new pills look different, talk with your pharmacist or doctor.
It may take several weeks before your body starts to respond to this medication. Do not stop taking the medicine suddenly. Even if you feel well, you may still need to take this medicine every day for the rest of your life to replace the thyroid hormone your body cannot produce.
Tell your doctor about all medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor. Keep a list of all your medicines and show it to any healthcare provider who treats you.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Tirosint (Levothyroxine)?
Since thyroid hormone occurs naturally in the body, almost anyone can take levothyroxine. However, you may not be able to take this medication if you have certain medical conditions.
To make sure you can safely take levothyroxine, tell your doctor if you have:
- a thyroid disorder called thyrotoxicosis
- heart disease, coronary artery disease, or a history of blood clots
- diabetes
- anemia (lack of red blood cells)
- problems with your pituitary or adrenal glands
- an untreated or uncontrolled adrenal gland disorder; or
- if you have recently had a heart attack, or are having any symptoms of a heart attack (chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling)
If you use insulin or take diabetes medicine by mouth, ask your doctor if your dose needs to be changed when you start using levothyroxine.
FDA pregnancy category A. Levothyroxine is not expected to harm an unborn baby. If you become pregnant while taking levothyroxine, do not stop taking the medicine without your doctor's advice. Having low thyroid hormone levels during pregnancy could harm both mother and baby. Your dose needs may be different during pregnancy.
Levothyroxine can pass into breast milk, but it is not expected to be harmful to a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Your dose needs may be different while you are nursing.
In most cases, you will need to take levothyroxine for the rest of your life. Taking levothyroxine over long periods of time may cause bone loss, which can lead to osteoporosis. Talk with your doctor about how this could affect you.

User reviews
Kelly McEwan Photography also took photos of our son when he was 3wks old, together with myself and my husband. It was the most wonderful afternoon! I had had a session with a different photographer in a studio the week before, and had been completely put off by the whole experience - James cried the whole time, hated the flash that was used, the poses were limited and weren't comfortable for him, I wasn't given much of a chance to try and settle him, and when he did settle for a few seconds, the photographer was busy fiddling with other things and missed potentially good shots. I also wasn't impressed with the shots that came out, and the pricing was so ridiculous that I didn't buy a single photo. With Kelly, we laughed the whole time, didn't feel rushed at any stage, were given plenty of time to settle Jamie, and the shots were AMAZING! Kelly treated our little boy like he was the most gorgeous baby in the whole world. She had fabulous ideas and took ours on board too. It felt like a visit with a friend rather than a photo shoot. The editing turned the great photos into first class quality pictures – think Anne Geddes, only more personal. We have had no end of comments on how fabulous the photos are, AND – her pricing structure beats any other professional photographer that I have come across. Kelly makes professional photos enjoyable, incredible and affordable. We will definitely be seeing her again and again to capture precious moments in the lives of our growing family!

background image problem
Im trying to mimc the effect that Chris went through in his latest screencast. The problem im having is that i have a gradient background so that when i try and use the main-content background image as a repeat im getting a nasty effect. So instead i tried just using the background as the complete section that i intend on having the main content area, but still getting a nasty effect.
What i really want is to be able to take a small section of the background image for the main content area and then repeat that in y so that no matter how much text is within the are the background will just repeat but respecting the gradient background. I also tried a png but got bad tiling effect.
Anyways enough rambling here is the link to the test page:
the style.css is http://www.encorenails.com/encore/style.css
Any help at all will be wicked
ThanksI see you have a vertical gradient which is going to make the vertically repeating graphic for the main content area more complicated. One solution might be to use an alpha-transparent PNG for the main content area background image which can lay that drop shadow down over the page background and not interfere that way. Of course you'll have the usual IE6 problem (it doesn't display alpha transparency without a proprietary "filter"), but you can either just say screw IE 6 or use the "hack".Nice one Chris, ill try the png method for this. I should still be able to repeat the png without any trouble right? and then switch back to a jpg to close off the content are?
BennJust done what you suggested about using a png for the repeating image, but again the tiling is very weird, instead of being a seamless image its tiling and looks nasty
please visit the below site for an example:
http://www.encorenails.com/encore/If I understand your problem correctly, you want a gradient background that always stretches to fill the height of the page, right? You can't repeat-y because the gradient will then tile, but if you stretch the image too much or too little then it won't fit perfectly.
So what you can do instead is fake it. I had to do this once and IIRC this was the technique I used. Make a
 that fills the entire page:div#background {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
z-index: 1;
Then, instead of setting a background image, put the image inside that
 and set both its dimensions to 100%:

Now the image will always stretch to fit the whole
, which in turn will always stretch to fit the whole window. All you have to do now is give the other elements on the page a higher z-index so the "background" image doesn't cover them up.
Note that I just wrote this from memory and didn't test it, so it may or may not work perfectly, but that's the theory at least :lol:Hey cheers for the replies.
I managed to tweek a few areas. I added a margin: -1px; to the main-content area to line it up with the header and footer links.
The issue im having now is that i can not get the nav-on image to work. You know, if you've seen it yet, Chris's new screencast where he shows how he made the links using sprites, exactly what he has on this site.
Well i can not get my 'on' image to show i only get the 'off' and 'rollover' images to be working where as when the link is clicked i would like it to turn to the 'on' image.
Hope this all made sense, anyways here is the link to the site:
BennHe hasn't put up the tutorial for the "on" page yet, just rollover and off.I also have a site that I am doing the vertical drop shadow on the outside of the content area that will be expanding taller as the content changes...
The graphics designer placed the drop shadow over the background image and the client wants to keep changing out the background at various times...
So I had thought about trying to use the .png solution for the drop shadow... and the client said to not worry about users that are still using IE6...
My question is - :
1. Is that still the best way to accomplish this given the facts mentioned above...
2. Is there any other browser that might have a problem doing it this way?
Thanks so much!
1. I believe that pngs are the best way to accomplish this and no, you don't need to worry about IE 6 users if you use the png fix, which is very simple.
2. Maybe some ancient browser? I wouldn't worry about it.@benn
I'm getting a 403 forbidden for your site.
When you say "on when it's clicked" do you mean only for the brief moment when it's clicked or do you want it to stay that way for the duration of the time spent on the page?

As a home inspector, he prefers to educate clients on the importance of the service so that they can opt for it confidently. He never pushes any client to hire the home inspection services, rather allows them to decide on their own.
According to the marketing head of Accurate Inspections, Inc., "Our Company has developed a lot since Michael joined us. We don't need to speak for our services individually as clients now know him very well and they like to work with him through us."
Mr. Marco, a homeowner in New Jersey, shares his experience of associating with Greco. He says, "When I purchased a new home in this area, my real estate agent referred me to Michael for home inspection. I loved his detailing and sincerity, which proved highly beneficial for me."

As of 9 p.m. on Election Night, many races in Anson County had already been decided.
Keeping with its Democratic tendency, Anson County again swayed toward the Democratic candidates. President Barack Obama took 69.87 percent of the vote in Anson, while Republican challenger Mitt Romney got 23.67 percent and Libertarian Gary Johnson got just 0.33 percent. Although as a state, North Carolina voted for Romney, Anson remained a blue county, overwhelmingly choosing Obama.
Anson was one of 30 North Carolina counties in which Obama had the advantage. Locally, Richmond and Mecklenburg were also won by the incumbent president. Statewide, Romney took North Carolina with 2,252,518 votes to Obama's 2,155,950.
Things didn't go as well for incumbent Congressman Larry Kissell. He took Anson County's vote for the U.S. Congress 8th District, with 72.03 percent to Republican challenger Richard Hudson's 25.73 percent, but Hudson won the districtwide vote, with 159,256 votes to Kissell's total of 134,918.
Kissell released the following statement Tuesday night: "I have been absolutely blessed to have the support of my family, friends and supporters from across this wonderful district. Things didn't work out as we had hoped, but as I told Richard earlier on the phone, he'll be representing some of the best people in the world. I'll be working with Richard to make sure we have a seamless transition so that our folks who need help will be ensured the world-class constituent service they deserve and have come to expect.
I have considered it an honor to represent the people of the 8th District, and I look forward to the remainder of my term. There is much work to be done. Thank you and God bless."
Hudson also released a statement, saying that he was willing to work with both sides of the aisle in Congress. "Tonight's results demonstrated that the voters are ready for new, conservative leadership in North Carolina. They are ready for lower spending and fiscal responsibility; they are ready for more, good paying jobs; and they are ready to take our country back for the principles and values that have held us together.
While we celebrate tonight, the real battle lies ahead — for our country and the next generation. It will take hard work and tough decisions to turn things around but I am committed to working with Republicans and Democrats to achieve a better future for North Carolina."
Democrats' dominance in Anson County continued with the N.C. General Assembly races. Democrat Gene McLaurin had 78.10 percent of the vote, to Gene McIntyre's 21.90 percent for the N.C. State Senate District 25 seat. McLaurin won the contest, with 44,023 votes to McIntyre's 39,163. The seat is currently held by longtime Sen. William Purcell, a Democrat, who decided not to seek re-election this year.
Anson County's own Dale Nelson also won Anson County in the N.C. House District 55 race, with 77.06 percent to Mark Brody's 22.94 percent, although he did not win the seat in the House. Brody is the new District 55 Representative, with 18,850 votes to Nelson's 14,403.
Although former Charlotte mayor Pat McCrory won the statewide vote for governor, Democrat Walter Dalton won the vote in Anson County with 66.51 percent to McCrory's 32.68. The same was true for the lieutenant governor race in Anson County. While Republican Dan Forest won the statewide vote, he lost in Anson with 26.70 percent to Linda Coleman's 73.30.
The Republicans' statewide wins mean that North Carolina has a Republican governor, lieutenant governor, senate and house for the first time since 1898.
On the local level, longtime County Commissioner Ross Streater retained his seat in the Lilesville district with 87.29 percent of the vote. Challenger Kevin Tucker garnered 12.71 percent of the vote.
In the District 20A District Court Judge race, Lisa Thacker won in Anson County, 70.08 percent to John Nance's 29.92 percent.
Voter turnout was high, with more than 4.5 million of North Carolina's 6,649,188 registered voters casting their ballots during the 2012 general election. Voter participation was also high in Anson, which had a 65.44 percent turnout.
