Oil Hits $90 Per Barrel Before Marginal Retreat
December 8, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Oil Hits $90 Per Barrel Before Marginal Retreat
Oil prices fell today (Dec. 8) in Asia as traders locked in profits after crude rose above $90 a barrel for the first time in more than two years, the Associated Press reported.
Benchmark oil for January delivery was down 86 cents to $87.83 a barrel at late afternoon Kuala Lumpur time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The contract hit $90.76 on Tuesday, the highest price since Oct. 8, 2008, before pulling back to settle at $88.69, down 69 cents.
The pull back is not surprising, said Victor Shum, an energy analyst at consultancy Purvin & Gertz in Singapore. "It is primarily profit-taking after crude breached the $90 level in New York."
The rally Tuesday came as President Obama and Republican leaders hammered out an agreement to extend Bush-era tax cuts. A cold snap also swept through Europe and the U.S., lifting demand for fuel.
Some analysts now predict that oil will hit $100 per barrel sometime next year. They point to rising demand from China and other emerging economies. OPEC countries can crank up production to meet that demand now, but their ability to do that is expected to decline over the next few years.
Shum, however, said the $90 level wasn't sustainable for now amid persistent concerns about the spread of Europe's debt crisis to Portugal and Spain. This boosts the dollar and depresses the oil price as it makes the commodity more expensive for investors holding other currencies.
Fears that China may raise interest rates are also dampening the oil market, which is likely to trade between $85 and $90 in the near term, Shum said.
Traders will seek more clues on the strength of crude demand from U.S. government supply figures later today. The American Petroleum Institute's report Tuesday was mixed, showing a drawdown in crude oil stocks but a rise in distillate and gasoline inventories.
In other Nymex trading in January contracts, heating oil fell 1 cent to $2.46 a gallon, gasoline futures gave up 1.4 cents to $2.31 a gallon and natural gas rose 1 cent to $4.41 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In London, Brent crude fell 46 cents to $90.93 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.

SYDNEY (AP) — Australian TV star and former model Charlotte Dawson, who became an anti-bullying activist after she was targeted online, has been found dead at age 47.
Famed for TV shows such as "Australia's Next Top Model," the New Zealand-born star had a history of depression. She was found dead in her Sydney apartment on Saturday morning. Police said there were no suspicious circumstances, which is how they usually describe suicide.
Sydney's The Sunday Telegraph newspaper reported that she was found hanged.
In 2012, she was admitted to a Sydney hospital after a suicide attempt following an ongoing tirade of abuse on Twitter. She had taken prescription tablets with wine and tweeted: "you win" in a suicide note to her cyber tormentors.
She later made fighting bullying her personal mission, waging an anti-bullying media campaign on television and radio and in newspapers and magazines as well as her beloved Twitter.
Her efforts and high public profile on the issue were recognized by the National Rugby League, a major Australian football association, which last year made her an anti-bullying ambassador.
The NRL's One-Community campaign is an extension of its zero-tolerance policy toward racial abuse in football.
Dawson revealed in her 2012 autobiography "Air Kiss & Tell" that she was frequently visited by the "depression bogeyman."
She had long graced the pages of women's gossip magazines and scenes in reality TV shows. Her modeling career had taken her to Italy, Britain and Germany during the 1980s.
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key tweeted he was "shocked and saddened" by the news of her death.
The Sun-Herald newspaper in Sydney reported Sunday that her body was found only minutes before her luxury waterside apartment was due to be sold at auction.
The tragedy was discovered the day after the birthday of her former husband, Scott Miller, an Australian Olympic silver medal-winning swimmer who became addicted to the drug ice and accrued multiple convictions for illegal drug and firearm possession.
Dawson professed her enduring love for Miller and sadness at his fall from grace ahead of Australian "60 Minutes" broadcasting an exclusive interview with him on Feb. 16.
Kate Carnell, chief executive of Beyond Blue, a not-for-profit organization promoting depression awareness, criticized Twitter for failing to sign up to an Australian government complaint-handling program designed to remove hateful material from social media sites.
Facebook, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft signed up to the project last year.
"There's lots more work that people like Twitter need to do," Carnell told The Sun-Herald.

Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 Review
Keeping your components cool in your computer is the most important practice for maintaining their lifespan. Manufacturers have continued to improve their designs and offer new products to adapt to the constant changes in technology and their heat output. A constant challenge of consumers is finding a product that fits their needs while staying within their budget. This constant battle drives readers to research what a particular heatsink is capable of and whether or not it is right for them. The goal of this article is to provide the desired facts about the Arctic Cooling Freezer 13. The Freezer 13 is a relatively low-cost heatsink that is capable of up to 200 watts of cooling power. In this review, I will provide a complete evaluation of the heatsink's unboxing, features, installation, and most importantly, its performance. This will be my first Arctic Cooling product that I have tested, so I am excited to see how well it performs!
Closer Look:
The Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 is packaged in a clear plastic container so that all sides of it can be seen. On the front, the black and white fan stands out through the packaging and the Arctic Cooling logo as well as the Freezer 13 text appears at the bottom. Underneath the Freezer 13 text is a remark stating that this heatsink supports both AMD and Intel sockets, which is common nowadays. The left side of the package adds some more information, such as it being capable of 200 watts of cooling power, and lists more specific socket compatibilities. A large amount of information can be found on the rear of the package - noise levels, dimensions, weight, and other features that I will discuss further in the review. The right side only features the UPC code and some information about Arctic Cooling. Arctic Cooling is based out of Switzerland.
As you can see, the packaging of the Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 is fairly minimal and small in size. Included in the base of the package, underneath the heatsink, is the mounting hardware and an installation/owner's manual. Out of all the heatsinks I have ever reviewed, this one gets the award for having the simplest mounting hardware I have come across! Many heatsinks have an overwhelming amount of hardware with pieces that can easily get lost and can be confusing to install. I don't believe I will have this problem with the Freezer 13, as there are only a total of five pieces (four of which are the same), plus two screws to get it ready for action.
With the Freezer 13 out of the box, it is now time to take a closer look at the heatsink and share my thoughts on the next page.

Tiny Bedroom Office Ideas from Hotels
If you've only got a sliver of space for a desk, you might want to check out hotels for ideas. Most of them include a small workspace — just enough room for a writing surface and a chair.
Yes, the bedroom is sacred space and in an ideal world, it's kept free of laptops and work devices. Still, if you live in a studio apartment or you're really short on space, sometimes the bedroom is the only place a desk can fit into the equation.
The hotel rooms shown above demonstrate a few different methods of integrating a workspace into a bedroom. Some use wall-mounted desks or a narrow strip of wall-mounted shelving to carve out an office area. Others use a small table in a nook, with an armchair that can double as a desk chair or a place to curl up and read a book.
Even if you're not planning on converting your bedroom into a part-time workspace, these tricks can apply to other spaces, including kitchens, closets, or hallways.

The current economic downturn brought low construction costs, allowing the Kershaw County School District (KCSD) to move forward with an ambitious $102 million Installment Purchase Plan (IPP)-funded facilities equalization plan. But it also brought a wave of criticism from county residents who grew increasingly frustrated with seeing new school construction at the same time the district laid off teachers, slashed National Board Certification (NBC) stipends and enacted districtwide furloughs.
When Dr. Frank Morgan applied for the superintendent position with the Kershaw County School District (KCSD) in February 2007, he spent a weekend driving around the county looking at the school district's facilities. The real surprise when he pulled up to one of the county's high school's was not what he found, but what he didn't find.
Robert Price is an ordinary Kershaw County citizen.
The Kershaw County Chamber of Commerce will host a toy and food drive during its Business After Hours social in December for chamber members. Chamber Executive Director Liz Horton made the announcement during a brief board meeting Nov. 16.
The Kershaw County Board of School Trustees unanimously approved a list of five legislative positions to address with the 2012 general assembly – all of which include the board's views on public education issues ranging from funding reform for K-12 education to vouchers and tax credits.
A new elementary school could be built to replace two in the West Wateree area.
Kershaw County School District (KCSD) Executive Director for Secondary Education Dr. Agnes Slayman is a finalist for the Chester County School District superintendent position, according to the school district's interim superintendent John Taylor.
Nearly three years ago, I sat down at my laptop to write my first column for the Chronicle-Independent.
When Ward Ratz lost his job at Swisher Hygiene nearly two years ago, he was left with no source of income, no retirement and no pension.
It's been nearly two weeks since Halloween.
In 1982, the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation (TRF) set out on an ambitious mission -- to save retired racehorses of a lifetime of possible neglect, abuse and slaughter.
The Kershaw County Board of School Trustees unanimously voted Tuesday to approve the terms of a settlement in a years-long tax dispute between Kershaw County and INVISTA.
Kershaw County School District (KCSD) Superintendent Dr. Frank Morgan's contract has been extended an additional two years. The Kershaw County Board of School Trustees on Tuesday approved extending the contract from June 30, 2014, to June 30, 2016. The 7-2 vote, with trustees Nissary Wood and Dr. Don Copley opposed, followed an executive session.
For Gene Rollins, it all began when he got the mumps.
It's almost time for the 2011 Kershaw County Christmas Parade.

Ballet and Bonds
Kiersten Engel: Senior, Collat School of BusinessBy Clair McLafferty
Pointe shoes brought Kiersten Engel to Birmingham from New York State. After seven seasons as a dancer with the Alabama Ballet, however, Engel decided to concentrate on a new career.
Attracted by UAB's location, nontraditional student population, and flexible class schedules, Engel enrolled in 2009 as an applied math major. She initially worked toward a concentration in physics—she once wrote a paper on the equations underlying ballet movements—but a finance class altered her career path. "Finance is a tangible way to apply math," she says.
As a junior she became portfolio manager for the Green and Gold Fund, UAB's highly successful student-run investment team. At the same time, Engel was using the Bloomberg computer terminals at UAB's Charles and Patsy Collat School of Business to learn more about financial markets. Access to these professional-level trading tools has been one of the most valuable parts of her UAB experience, Engel says.
Engel's work with the Green and Gold Fund landed her a summer 2013 internship at Birmingham trading firm R2 Macro, where she did daily research—on a Bloomberg terminal—to help inform the firm's positions. As a long-term project, she designed a trading system that bought and sold various countries' bond futures to capitalize on the steepening and flattening of their respective yield curves.
Engel also found time to travel to Tuscaloosa to take the Bloomberg Aptitude Test (BAT), a challenging mix of market knowledge, logical reasoning, and math questions. She earned one of the top 100 scores internationally, which led to a spot at the BAT Summer Intern Challenge, a prestigious networking event for finance students. "It was a great experience designed to help students prepare their resumes and begin job searching," she says. Several New York-based companies contacted Engel to express interest in her resume.
After graduation in spring 2014, Engel plans to pursue a career designing and analyzing financial trading systems. As an independent study project last summer, she created a trading system "that capitalizes on fluctuations in interest rates and their effect on the prices of long- and short-dated government securities." She says she is most interested in derivatives systems because they are highly mathematical and because "they're a little less driven by fear and greed" than other systems.
Since New York City is home to one of the world's largest financial markets, Engel says there is a strong possibility she will work there after graduation. But she is also considering staying in school to earn a master's degree in financial engineering.
Pop Quiz
Kiersten Engel had one of the 100 highest scores internationally on the Bloomberg Aptitude Test, acing questions like this: "Below is a chart of the food price index in gold since 1990. Which of the following choices is the most likely explanation for the change in the index from the late 1990s through 2010?" Can you figure it out?
|1. Food prices have risen by a greater percentage than gold prices.
2. Gold prices have risen by a greater percentage than food prices.
3. Gold prices are in a bubble.
4. Food prices are in a bubble.
To see the answer, highlight the hidden text below:
Answer: 2—The chart shows that the cost of food in terms of gold has fallen over the time period shown, which means that gold prices increased by a greater percentage than food prices in that period.

I've had my prime for almost two months now and there are some things I really love, but other aspects really ruin it for me.
The biggest issue I have by far is the web browser; scrolling is super laggy, changing tabs can also be laggy and I get more force closes than I'd like. Honestly, the performance isn't leaps and bounds ahead of my HTC legend. I tried chrome and love the features, but it's way way buggier and I've also tried a couple of other browsers without much luck.
There's also a lot of general lagginess throughout the system, especially in settings. The launcher also force closes a couple of times/day.
Is anyone having the same or similar problems? Is it a certain app or setting that could be ruining it for me? Realistically it's still very much usable, I was just expecting more from this hardware/software/price combination.
Sorry for the long post.
I'm not loving my TFP, does anyone have any tips to make it better

21st ARRL and TAPR Digital Communications Conference
September 13-15, 2002
- 1-Wire APRS Weather Station
by William Beals, N0XGA and Russell Chadwick KB0TVJ
- Abstract:
This project and resulting TAPR kit implement the necessary hardware and
software to sense and display data from various low-cost I-Wire weather
sensors. With the addition of a TNC and radio, it forms a complete,
stand-alone APRS-compatible weather station. Weather information is also
available on a 4-line by 20-character LCD. The project is designed to be
easily extensible and upgradeable--even for applications that are
not weather related.
by Richard E Carter, KE1EV
- Abstract:
This paper describes the PIC-E-II project. It includes information
gathered from various sources or researched directly using test
equipment. From a high-level, it describes what a packet is, what a PIC
is, and how the PIC-E-II works.
- APRSWXNET/CWOP - A Beneficial Partnership of NOAA, Amateur Radio and Other Good Citizens
by Russ Chadwick, KB0TVJ
- Abstract:
APRSWXNET/CWOP is a group of amateur radio operators and other citizens
who have an interest in weather measurements and contribute those data
to NOAA for important uses. This paper describes how the data is
collected via packet radio and via the Internet. Where the data go and
how they are used is also covered. Maps of the location of the data
contributors for both packet radio and for the Internet are presented.
- Automatic Packet Reporting System: Building a Large Scane Geospatial Database
by James Jefferson Jarvis, KB0THN
- Abstract:
The purpose of my research is collecting and analyzing position data
from amateur radio's Automatic Packet Reporting System (APRS). APRS
equipped vehicles transmit their latitude, longitude, course, and speed.
This data is received via VHF radio and aggregated into the APRS
Internet stream.
I designed and implemented a system that automatically collects and catalogs the entire APRS Internet stream into a relational database. Because APRS data is expressed in various formats, I wrote a parser that translates the data to a common format. My software collected more then 52,000,000 data points in 3 months.
I developed software to analyze position data. One program determines what polygon latitude / longitude points falls inside, and locates a station within a political boundary. For use in detecting roadway traffic problems, another program searches digital maps for the distance to the nearest road. Overall I wrote approximately 10,000 lines of computer source code. Currently I am investigating using neural networks to detect characterize roads and be able to detect anomalies, such as traffic jams.
- Created Realities Technology in Amateur Radio
by Greg Jones, WD5IVD
- Abstract:
This paper discusses the possibilities of Created Realities Technology
in amateur radio. The paper discusses its use in education/learning,
communications, and information presentation. The creation of meaningful
3D spaces for both communications and information presentation can add a
new dimension to amateur radios presentation and teaching.
- Repeater Data Transmission System
by Peter Mudie, VK2XZP
- Abstract:
The paper describes a specialised data communications system. The data
system has the capability of carrying low data rate information over an
analogue radio channel at the same time as voice traffic. It is based on
the capstone project I completed in order to receive my Bachelor of
Engineering Degree.
- On Amateur Radio Use of IEEE 802.11b Radio Local Area Networks
by Paul L. Rinaldo, W4RI and John J. Champa, K8OCL
- Abstract:
The 2400-2450 MHz band is not only an amateur frequency allocation but
is used by other services. Primarily, it's an industrial, scientific and
medical (ISM) band with a center frequency of 2450 MHz. Other users of
the band must accept any interference from ISM emitters.
- Emergency Radio Email (ER-Email)
by Paul Schreiber, W2UH
- Abstract:
This description of ER-Email is submitted to the Digital Communications
Conference to solicit from this pool of experts (1) a realistic
assessment its potential as an important emergency communications mode,
(2) the effort required to develop it, and (3) what group or individuals
are willing to develop it.
I feel very strongly that Emergency Radio-Email has the potential of becoming an important ARES/RACES emergency communications mode with a very high degree of acceptance among served agencies. The name was chosen to quickly convey to served agencies what ER-Email will do for them.
- 802.11 and Ham Radio
by Darryl Smith, VK2TDS
- Abstract:
The price of 802.11b equipment is continuing to fall. Once retailing for
hundreds of dollars, PCMCIA 802.11b cards are now retailing for under
$50. These cards contain sophisticated hardware and software that rivals
most ofthe digital technology used in the Ham Radio world today.
If Ham Radio is to survive in the coming years, it is areas such as 802.11b that can be used not only to attract those interested in digital communications, but also as a building block for our own networks.
In this paper I will describe some of the technology, and some of the areas that Ham Radio operators can investigate in order to extend the state of the art.
- A Software-Defined Radio for the Masses, Parts 1 and 2
by Gerald Youngblood, AC5OG
- Abstract:
This series describes a complete PC-based software-defined-radio that
uses a sound card and an innovative detector circuit. Mathematics is
minimized in the explanation. Come see how it's done.
Come learn how to use a PC sound card to enter the wonderful world of digital signal processing.

Or check out some testimonials below.
AH's blogger outreach strategy was a game changer for our social media project, My Fellow American. Over just a couple months, their team was able to reach 60 million eyeballs, and nearly 1,000 bloggers posted about our project. I found their team to be highly professional, and excellent in coaching my staff and team in building a well-coordinated social media and outreach strategy. The crispness of the blogger outreach messaging and their ability to develop attention for our project across very diverse networks has completely changed the way that we now handle our outreach and social media engagement.
Daniel Tutt, Unity Productions Foundation
We are so grateful for the commitment AH has made to helping us end chronic homelessness in Washington, DC. Their commitment has been shown in many ways, and the most recent example is their pro-bono work on our behalf for Give to the Max Day in November 2011. They created a clear, succinct Give to the Max Day social media news release that was shown to more than 1,100 bloggers in the DC area. From that outreach, many bloggers joined the conversation about ending chronic homelessness by publicizing Miriam's Kitchen's participation in Give to the Max Day. AH was a key factor in our ability to raise money to end chronic homelessness in Washington, DC on Give to the Max Day. For that (and the many other amazing things they've done for us), we are forever grateful to have them working on our behalf.
Jenn Roccanti, Miriam's Kitchen
It's been a true pleasure working with the team at AH. They increased the online awareness of OLX far more than I thought would be possible with English, Spanish and Portuguese bloggers.
Fabrice Grinda, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, OLX
Upon launching HAIWatch.com, Kimberly-Clark Healthcare needed to increase the attention, traffic, and profile. We retained AH initially to drive traffic to the site using combined social media and blogger outreach. This resulted in over 100% increase to the number of site visits compared to the time frame prior to the AH campaign, as well as a number of secondary benefits such as brand recognition and a first page, number 6, placement when searching for "healthcare associated infection" on Google. AH did a phenomenal job at finding all the relevant blogs and influencers germane to the issue of HAIs, immunodeficiency, and infection as well as reaching out, engaging them, and earning their posts, tweets, and likes about the issue of HAI and the associated HAI Watch website. AH accomplished this successfully in English, Spanish, and Portuguese in countries including Argentina and Brazil. While we were able to prepare the ideal site to be used as a resource for the US and Latin American market, it was AH that was best able to attract the most influential bloggers by being sensitive and responsive to cultural differences while applying US-proven methods of reaching out to bloggers.
Sergey Krayev, Kimberly-Clark Health Care I Global Marketing & Communications
AH exceeded my wildest expectations.
As a first-time author, I was concerned about my ability to build a strong campaign. We ended up getting over a hundred blog book reviews and more than 200 tweets – and we still have dozens of responses to follow up on, even after the campaign ended. They've also left me with collateral I can use into the future to promote me and my book. I would use AH again in a heartbeat. They know their stuff, they are extremely low maintenance to work with, and they did a fantastic job.
Stever Robbins, Author "9 Steps to Work Less and Do More"
AH tackled an extremely time-sensitive project for us and got up to speed quickly. We were impressed with their expertise in the industry, ability to execute a plan successfully and willingness to listen to our needs and goals. Their work has made an impact on our programs already and has given a tremendous boost to our awareness efforts.
Jenny Morgenthau, Executive Director, The Fresh Air Fund
AH has been doing a terrific job for brandsclub. Not only have they created and managed our twitter account, that has the most followers in the world for our business model, their outreaches have gotten us tons of responses. Last but not least they are always coming up with great suggestions and worldwide contacts for any crazy idea you might come up with. I would recommend them to anyone!
Olivier Grinda, Co-Founder and CMO, BrandsClub
AH helped us to share our finance app with a wider audience of bloggers, finance thinkers and influencers on Twitter. The results were impressive – dozens of blog posts, tons of Tweets and a number of A-list blog posts. On a personal note, AH was a pleasure to work with – responsive and easy to get along with at all points. Many thanks.

SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon park rangers say a loophole in the leash rule is allowing some dog owners to let their pets run free. An Oregon Parks and Recreation Department spokesman says some owners are letting their dogs run while wearing a leash.

14 May 2012: South Sudanese refugees return to Juba. Credit: UNHCR
Humanitarian workers in Sudan have helped thousands of South Sudanese refugees stranded in Kosti to return home.
More than 4,500 of the 12,000 South Sudanese who were stranded at the Sudanese river port of Kosti have completed their journey home. This comes just over a week into the airlift operation to transport the refugees via Khartoum.
The Sudanese authorities gave South Sudanese residents nine months to regularize their status or return to South Sudan when South Sudan seceded last July. Thousands of people began to travel south and arrived in Kosti intending to travel on to South Sudan by barge. But the Government of Sudan suspended barge movements in February, and growing numbers of returnees have been stranded in Kosti since then.
Humanitarian workers in Sudan overcame several hurdles to help the stranded returnees to get back to South Sudan. Securing permission for the airlift via Khartoum airport was critical, given the logistical challenge of moving over 12,000 people. Obtaining assurances from Sudan and South Sudan that returnees would be allowed to leave Khartoum airport without passport documentation required agreements between the immigration and civil aviation authorities of both Sudan and South Sudan.
The Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan, Mr. Ali Al-Za'tari, worked with his counterparts in the Sudan Government's Humanitarian Aid Commission to negotiate the necessary concessions to allow returnee flights, the use of Khartoum airport and agreements on travel documents. Mr Al-Za'tari welcomed the cooperation between the Governments of Sudan and South Sudan to facilitate the airlift. This was particularly significant, given that just days earlier the two countries were fighting over a disputed border area.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) played a central role in helping to secure funding for the airlift through the Central Emergency Response Fund(CERF) and the Sudan Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF), in addition to funding from the Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection Department of the European Commission.
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is transporting 500 to 600 people per day by bus to Khartoum, after medical screening. People who are transported in the morning convoy are flown to Juba on afternoon flights the same day. Those who arrive from Kosti in the afternoon stay overnight in a Khartoum transit camp and fly on to Juba the next day.
The NGO Fellowship for African Relief is providing water, sanitation and health care services in Kosti, while IOM, with support from the World Health Organization, is providing medical supplies for clinics at the Khartoum transit site and in Kosti.
People being airlifted to Juba are only entitled to take 18 kilograms of luggage on the flight, but the Sudanese authorities agreed to transport additional luggage by road from Kosti across the border to Renk in South Sudan. The luggage will be transported from Renk to other parts of the country as necessary. One family member can accompany the luggage, but as 18,000 returnees are already in Renk, there are very limited resources for new arrivals. The volatile security situation in border areas also poses a threat to the continued use of this crossing point.
Working through these logistical issues with the authorities in Sudan and South Sudan has enabled thousands of returnees to begin a new life, with hundreds more joining them every day.

Organization can help anything – including living a gluten free lifestyle. By creating and keeping a list of gluten free foods, you'll quickly see how helpful it can be. Here are 5 reasons (and there are certainly more!) to create your own list of gluten free foods.
Even if you find only one of these 5 reasons helpful, the time you spend creating the list will be well worth it.
Learning to eat gluten free is an adventure. The easiest way to get off to the right track is to understand what you can eat and what you can't. We've come up with a free gluten free food list to get you started on your own customized list. We'll discuss what foods are naturally gluten free, what kinds of gluten substitutes you can buy and how to keep your kids happy as well!
There are hundreds of foods that naturally do not contain gluten. Keep in mind though that when you eat these foods raw or prepare them yourself you can be assured that you will not be consuming gluten, but if you buy them processed in any way there is a risk. Some methods of preparation can contain hidden gluten. For example, ingredients like 'modified food starch' do not really say what kind of starch it is. Does it come from wheat or corn? If it's corn, it is no problem but if it's wheat then you've got a gluten-containing product. The problem is, you can't really know without contacting the manufacturer.Of all foods, natural foods are what belong on a safe gluten free food list because they have not been processed in any way.
Some naturally gluten-free foods are:
Instead of wheat flours look for flours made from rice, amaranth, corn, tapioca, potato starch, teff flour and other wheat, rye and barley substitutes. You can also find a wide variety of pre-made gluten free mixes on the market. Don't forget beer! You can enjoy Gluten Free Alcohol as well, just be sure to check the ingredients.
Creating a gluten free food list for kids can be slightly more of a challenge. If your children are school-age, they may wonder why their friends can have macaroni and cheese and pizza and they cannot. The solution is to find a way to make all the popular "kid's foods" in a gluten free way. Using gluten free flours, and even ready-made gluten free products from the store, you can create all your child's favorites and be assured that they're eating healthy too.
It is a good idea to stock up on kid-friendly products. Gluten Free Crackers, cookies and baking mixes are now all available in many grocery stores. Feeling different and deprived can be a challenge for some, so make living a gluten-free lifestyle easier by removing that feeling of deprivation by always having great foods available – whether you make them yourself or buy them ready-to-go.
Now that you have an idea of what foods you can eat on your new gluten free diet, let's talk about heading to the grocery store for the first time. This trip is most likely going to be a bit frustrating and will probably take a good bit longer than your average grocery shopping trip.
There are a few things you'll want to do before you head to the store. First off, plan to spend about twice as long on this trip as you usually spend in the store. Things will get faster as you get used to what foods you can and cannot eat, but the first couple of trips will involve a good bit of trial and error. So give yourself plenty of time to do things thoroughly so that you're not rushed.
Second, if at all possible, leave your children at home. Having children along can make any shopping trip more stressful and doubly so on this one. Additionally, your children may not understand why they can't get their favorite snacks anymore, and having to explain the situation to them in the store would be difficult.
Thirdly, plan a general menu before you go. It'll be easier to get your shopping done if you have a general idea of what you want to get before you go. For instance, if spaghetti is on your menu, you'll know before you get to the store that you need to find some gluten free pasta. If sandwiches are on the menu, you know you'll need to find some gluten free bread.
Lastly, keep things simple. If you don't have much experience cooking, then don't plan to cook big, fancy meals. If you need to cook up a loaf of gluten free bread and feed your family sandwiches every night for the next week, that's fine. Don't try to do more than you know you can do.
One thing I should mention that can make planning for your trip and buying groceries easier is Triumph Dining's Gluten Free Grocery Guide. It lists over 30,000 name brand and store-brand gluten free products from all over the country. If you want some help with your grocery shopping, definitely check out the guide. It can make things much easier.
Once you're at the store, try to stick to your list as much as possible. This will keep headaches to a minimum. Also, don't be shy about asking a stock boy or another worker for help finding things. Simply explain you just found out you have a food allergy, and that you need some help finding some foods that you can eat. With more and more people hearing about celiac and gluten, it's possible they may even know about gluten free food. With any luck, they'll be able to make some suggestions and show you what they have available.
Lastly, the most important thing to do is to read labels. I have found gluten in items that I never would have thought would contain it, including ice cream, candy, salad dressings and more. If an item is not clearly marked "Gluten Free" don't take the chance. Just read the label to make sure.
Good luck on your first GF shopping trip! Remember, things will get easier and quicker. In my next article, I'll talk about some tips for gluten free cooking.
One of the hardest parts about starting a gluten free diet is knowing where to begin. What foods are OK to eat? Which ones are gluten foods and should be avoided? Does this really mean that breads and cookies are now out the window? Do I have to prepare separate meals for the family? The key is to take things one step at a time and the first thing to do is create a list of foods that contain gluten. In this guide we'll give you a head start by giving you a list of foods that contains gluten that you can add to as you explore your new lifestyle.
While it would be difficult to compile a complete list of foods with gluten, we've done our best. We've organized items by category to make it easier. One way to manage this list is to copy it into a word processor and add to it as you discover more foods that contain gluten. Better yet, use this list to eliminate foods and start another that is a Gluten Free Recipes that can work as your shopping list when you go out.
While this is not a complete list, the basic rule is: avoid all foods containing any direct or indirect source of wheat, rye, barley and oats. Keep in mind that there are tons of gluten free flours and grains on the market that can provide an alternative set of ingredients for baking or cooking.
It's a fact that there are an abundance of foods that contain gluten and wheat everywhere you look. The trick is to understand what these foods are and then create a plan to avoid them. You can eat amazingly delicious gluten free foods, it just takes a little time and planning. The health benefits are well worth the effort – and this list will help you on your way.

Im in the midst of designing a personal site. One of the pages im intending to put photo's on . What i have in mind is when people open that photo page they are presented with little "kinda like a screenshot or miniture version of the picture) and when they click on the picture they get a separe browser loading which loads up the picture but on a bigger scale.
im not describing it well but its like when you visit a forum and people submit pictures to Imageshack and then in the forum thread they link to it . When a user then opens the thread a smaller version of the picture is presented to them and they can then click on the picture to get a bigger version.
Thats what i want to do except all the pictures will be hosted on my own server.
I hope someone understand and can help me out.

RecurDyn is CAE software that is focused on MultiBody Dynamics (MBD) while also offering multiphysics solutions. The RecurDyn technology has superior calculation efficiency because it is based on a recursive formulation. The core is MultiFlexible Body Dynamics (MFBD) that combines a multibody dynamics solver and a nonlinear finite element method solver at the integrator level. RecurDyn supports other multidisciplinary CAE technologies such as control system modeling and nonlinear system-level optimization. RecurDyn provides the efficiency gains of process automation through a wide variety of application toolkits. Users can create their own custom applications using the bundled ProcessNet environment.
RecurDyn provides a unique MFBD analysis capability that combines MBD with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methods in order to simulate moving assemblies of rigid and flexible bodies. The user can determine the detailed dynamic stress and strain within the context of a system-level analysis, including the time-varying inertial forces.
There are two types of flexible bodies that are supported with MFBD. The first type, called RFlex, is a simplified representation that is based on modal data generated by external FEA software. The second type, called FFlex, are based upon an FE mesh, where all nodal DOFs are retained.
Users can create mechanical models such as vehicles, robots, and machinery using RecurDyn. Then users can run cosimulations with RecurDyn and Simulink using an S-Function interface.

Featured Video - Mystic Seaport's Tribute to Olin and Rod
Here's a nice video that's a tribute to Olin and Rod by Mystic Seaport Museum, called Simply Brilliant. Click here to access. I have mentioned it before but it's worth a look.
Design 2691 - 82' Pilothouse Sloop
This preliminary design was prepared in 2002. The design brief was for a modern looking pilothouse sloop but with no fixed windows in the sides or back of the pilothouse, just the ability to close in bad weather with side curtains (isenglass). The boat was to be built in composites.
Here is the general arrangement.
The guest accommodations was designed to accommodate six people, each cabin with a private head with separate shower stall. There is a day head at the forward end of the passage. The salon is raised above the engine and machinery space to a height so that a view out the windows is possible when seated on the settee. Forward of the salon are the crew's quarters which are isolated forward of an amidships vestibule. The crew mess with navigation station, engine room access, and deck access is to port while the galley is to starboard. The Captain's double cabin and the crew's double bunk are forward port and starboard. A head with separate shower stall is forward and can be accessed by either cabin. The optional after portion was a charter boat option.

Design 370 - WWII Crash Boat
During World War II something on the order of 1,500 aircraft rescue boats (crash boats) were constructed in all kinds of sizes and configurations. S&S designed a handful. Crash boats were necessary for actual crashes due to failure or damage but also planes at that time simply didn't have the range they do today and many returning pilots fell short of their destination. The boats had to be fast and these little craft helped speed the development of all high speed small combatants.
I came across this one while doing some research. It was simply a proposal for a South American country that did not get built. You will note the derrick crane for lifting pilots into the boat and the arrangement of stretchers in the interior and also in the cockpit. The year was 1940.
I will post others in future postings.

Design 2568 - 67' LOA Motoryacht
This aluminum motoryacht was designed in 1990 but was never built. There's a lot packed into a compact package: Owner's stateroom plus 2 guest cabins and a captain's cabin, each with private head and separate showers. It's a nice layout.
Power was to be provided by twin GM12V92TA diesels rated at 1,080 hp each turning 40" diameter, 4-bladed propellers.

Design 1710 - Cybele and the Swan 36
One-Off Cybele in Wood - Swan 36 Prototype
Built by Molich of Denmark
Built by Molich of Denmark
Design #1710 has to be the most utilized design in our collection. Numerous one-offs were built of wood as well as production models from various builders in fiberglass. The Gaia Class was built by the famous Italian builder Benello, building 19 boats to the design.
Additional boats were also built to this design with slight variations, such as the Sigma 36 Class (built by Cheoy Lee), Rumbuster and many more in both wood and fiberglass. In all I believe 60 boats were built to this design with slight variations, without counting the entire Swan 36 production run of 90 boats delivered.
Here's a fairly complete list of boats.
Regarding Swan, first a little background. The Swan 36 was the very first model for Nautor. Here's the story about the start of Nautor by the founder, Pekka Kostenkyla, in his own words.
How the Swans Were Born
by Pekka Koskenkyla
Founder of Nautor's Swan
by Pekka Koskenkyla
Founder of Nautor's Swan
It all started as a hobby. I grew up on the coast (Helsinki) and I have always had or wanted to have boats. My first vessel was a canoe, which I built myself in the evenings after school at the age of 14. In fact next year I built five of them for sale. Then nothing much happened in my boat building career for ten years because of school and university, where I majored in economics.
After graduation I wanted to have my own boat, so I started to build a wooden sailing boat of 11-meters. I worked in the evenings and weekends in my father-in-law's shed in Pietarsaari, where I had a job selling paper sacs. It took about 2 years to finish the boat and when it was almost complete a dentist from Helsinki wanted to buy it. I gave him a, what I thought, was a high price and he agreed. So I thought that boat building looked like an easy way to make money doing what I liked. I decided to start a yard.
The first step was to find a name and get drawings. The fact that I happened to think of SWAN was lucky, because I believe that this name and the connotations it implies was important for the success of the company. The other decision, which also turned out to be right and even more crucial to our success, was to choose S&S as designers.
My first thought had been to use the drawings of the boat that I was building, especially as it was just the right size I was looking for. An important factor in the overall length of the boat that I wanted to build was that any boats over 11-meters in LOA were exempt from VAT tax. This was of course a government concession made for the commercial fishermen and nobody had thought of yachts, because pleasure craft in Finland at the time were so small. A few years later this loophole was plugged.
The first boat that I built was designed by a local amateur naval architect and full time teacher of mathematics, Eivind Still. He was naturally disappointed, when I decided not to use his drawings, but Still later became quite well-known in Scandinavia with the many boats that he later designed. At the time I was so ignorant about this business and sailboats in general, that I did not know any yacht designers - not even the most famous. Therefore I went to the local yacht club in Pietarsaari and asked, who was the best designer in the world. I was told that it was Sparkman & Stephens.
I found their address from an old yachting magazine and wrote to the company to tell them, that I needed drawings of a sailboat about 11-12 meters long. No reply! That really was not so surprising, because I did not even have letterheads, let alone a company. I waited some more and then telephoned to their office in New York. I got Rod Stephens on the phone and he told me that by coincidence he was coming to Finland in a couple of weeks to inspect a wooden sailboat being built at the time. He said we could meet. Later I got a message from his client in Finland that he could see me at 6 o'clock in his hotel room in Helsinki. However I was not sure if that was in the morning or the evening and I could not reach Rod to verify, so I decided not to take a risk and went to his hotel at 6 AM. He was there waiting for me. He must have been impressed by my enthusiasm, because that was all I had to show for.
In any case, he gave me the drawings of a 36 feet sloop, which was to be marketed as the SWAN 36. Later he told me that they had been waiting for years for somebody to approach them to design a production boat in fiberglass, but I was in fact the first one to do so. A couple of years later a lot of builders were knocking on their door, but S&S were very loyal to us and did not give out competing designs. The drawings I received from Rod were of a boat already built in wood.
Later I have sometimes thought how was it possible that I got those drawings. Maybe Rod did not take me very seriously after all? When I came back to Pietarsaari I needed a suitable space in a hurry. Outside the town, far from the sea, there was an old brick building, which had been used to process hides (skins). It was empty and I was able to rent it at a very low rate. It needed some modifications like a much bigger door and heating etc., but we had a place to start. I appointed my first wife's uncle as a foreman and we started to hire people.
As I had already built one boat in the area I knew that there were many skillful joiners in the surrounding area of Pietarsaari. Many of them were part time farmers and eager to take a full time job, because their farms were so small that they could not sup-port them. In fact these people were busy only at harvest time during the summer. Many of these people had a small woodworking shop at home and they had been doing doors, window frames and furniture etc. to supplement their income.
These activities were, however, getting uneconomical, because more and more factories were producing these items on a mass production basis and thereby suppressing prices. The other category of workers I was able to hire were small individual boat builders. These were typically also small farmers or sometimes fishermen, who could not fish or farm during the winter because of ice and snow. Their boat building operation was family business, and most of them built wooden fishing boats, but there were some, notably the Branbacka family, who built pleasure boats to customers' orders.
If we go back to the history of Pietarsaari and the surrounding counties we find that this area was once one of the main ship building areas in Scandinavia. This was the era of wooden sailing ships during the time when Finland was part of Sweden. These mostly commercial vessels were built in amazing numbers and with amazing speed. In the Pietarsaari Museum there is more information about all this. In fact a few years ago they even built one vessel to these old drawings on a voluntary basis.
I have gone into all the above in more detail, because it is important to understand that the quality of the workers and their skills in the counties around Pietarsaari is something very special. If I had not had access to these kinds of people we would have failed, especially considering my lack of experience in business in general and running a yard in particular. Fortunately there was no shortage of these highly skilled and motivated people in the area.
We were like a family and run the business as such. One could either say that we had perfect industrial relations or that none of us had ever even heard about such a thing. There was one episode that comes to mind, when I think about the loyalty of our workers at that time. My very first delivery of the SWAN 36 was about to happen. This was the only wooden SWAN ever built. It was built in mahogany. The reason was that I thought we would save money this way, because a fiberglass mold needs a wooden plug and rather than build a plug and then destroy it, we decided take the mold off a real boat that could be sold. All went well except that when the hull mold was being made it cracked the planking of the wooden hull, because when the fiberglass and resin mixture hardens, it becomes very warm, which again dries the wooden hull underneath. These small cracks were repaired, but on a varnished surface they could still be seen.
My customer, a businessman from Helsinki, demanded a discount of his boat because of this. My situation, however, was very simple. If I did not immediately get the foil price in order to pay back a bank loan I would go broke. The customer did not want to hear. He insisted. He even ordered a trucking company to come and take the boat away from the yard. When he and his men with the big truck and the crane came, my men decided to stop the operation by physically blocking entry into the yard. As I had more men and they seemed to be more eager for a fight, my customer decided to pay in full.
The first year we built four boats, the wooden one, which we used for a plug and three fiberglass SWAN 36's. I was able to sell all of them at a very early stage. The most important factor for this initial success was not so much my honest looking face or the fantastic workforce we had, because we had nothing to show. It was the name and reputation of Sparkman & Stephens. It is difficult to understand now how superior in reputation they were compared to other yacht designers. There was only one best choice then. The name and reputation of S&S was built on the winning boats of their design in all ocean racing from the America's Cup, One Ton Cup, Admirals Cup, Cowes week etc. Most of the winners in these races were designed by S&S.
Then came Nautor from Finland, the first to produce S&S designed boats not only in series at a very reasonable price, but also in a new and stronger material than wood. On the top of that, the SWANs were lighter as well, and therefore had a better chance of winning races. Just to broaden the appeal to more potential buyers my sales argument was that because it was built of a lighter material we can afford to make the boat with a nice wooden interior and therefore appealing as a nice family cruising boat as well as a racing boat. This was the argument the racing minded sailor needed to convince his wife. The racing in those days was not as competitive, or rather, the boats were not as extreme racing machines as they are today, so it was in fact possible to win big time with a SWAN that looked like a family cruising boat with heavy teak interior.

Design 438 - YP 180 (Conversion)
In 1942 the U.S. Navy commissioned us prepare the plans to convert a number of World War I subchasers (SC designation) to yard patrol boats (YP designation). YP 180 was originally built by Elco (Electric Launch Company) in 1918. She was one of 442 SC-1s, the 110-foot subchasers built during WWI, with designation SC-101 and named Fidus.
The conversion was done at Fyfe's Shipyard, Glenwood Landing, Long Island, New York. YP boats were used for coastal defense and also for naval training purposes. YP 180 operated with a complement of 2 officers and 18 crew.
Looking at the archives the following S&S design numbers were also YP conversions, all done in 1942: #425, #426, #427, #428, #429 and #440.
Here are the plans.

2062-C1 - Sunbird II
As far as we can tell, the Endo Corporation of Japan was a 6-time repeat client, ordering 1/4, 1/2 and 1-tonner racing yachts in the early 1970s. Most of not all were built by the Kato Boat Company of Yokosuka City, Japan in either wood or fiberglass. Here we have the one-tonner Sunbird II. She was built of wood and launched in 1970. She is based on a very well utilized design, #2062, but with modifications (optimizations) to her rig, keel and rudder.
Here's a look at her shape.

More About Design 701 - L.P.T. Boat
We've posted about this P.T. boat before. This aerial image that shows her deck layout well.
Here she is running at +35 knots.
And some interesting interior images. This gives one a good sense of her no-nonsense accoutrements.
And finally a peek at the engine room. You can see 2 (starboard) out of those 4 big Packard engines.
I admit I'm a bit confused by the date on these images. Our records show the 2 P.T. boats were built in '46 and '47.

Prehistoric Human Skull Shows Signs of Inbreeding
In 2010, the surprising discovery that Neanderthals likely crossbred with our ancestors tens of thousands of years ago generated headlines around the world.
Now, we have a new finding about the sex lives of early Homo sapiens: It looks like they engaged in some inbreeding as well.
That is the conclusion of anthropologist Erik Trinkhaus of Washington University in St. Louis and Xiu-Jie Wu and Song Xing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, based on a fractured 100,000-year-old skull excavated from Chinas Nihewan Basin. Their finding, published yesterday in PLOS ONE, is that the skull shows evidence of an unusual genetic mutation that is likely the result of high levels of inbreeding.
The researchers used CT scanning and 3D modeling to join together for the first time the 5 pieces of the fractured skullknown as Xujiayao 11, named for the site where it was found back in 1977and realized that it exhibited an unusual deformity. When the pieces are combined, they leave a hole on the crown of the skull, but there is no evidence that the fracture was caused by a traumatic injury or disease. As a result, they consider it most likely that the hole is a defect known as an enlarged parietal foramen.
Nowadays, this hole is mostly found in people with a particular pair of genetic mutations on chromosomes 5 and 11most often a consequence of inbreedingand occurs in about 1 of 25,000 live births. The mutation interferes with bone formation in the skull over the first five months of an infants life, when the pieces of the skull are supposed to fuse together to cover up the soft spot.
Given the tiny sample size of human skulls this old and the fact that similar kinds of genetic abnormalities have been seen so often in other prehistoric skullsthe researchers count 22 individuals with skull deformities discovered from this eraTrinkhaus thinks the simplest explanation is that small and unstable human populations forced our ancestors to inbreed.
If no inbreeding occurred, the probability of finding one of these abnormalities in the small available sample of human fossils is very low, and the cumulative probability of finding so many is exceedingly small, he said in a press statement. The presence of the Xujiayao and other Pleistocene [2.6 million to 12,000 years ago] human abnormalities therefore suggests unusual population dynamics, most likely from high levels of inbreeding and local population instability.

It is possible that the main title of the report Sennetsu Fever is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Sennetsu Fever is a rare infectious disease belonging to a group of diseases known as the Human Ehrlichioses. These diseases are caused by bacteria belonging to the "Ehrlichia" family. Several forms of Human Ehrlichial infection have been identified including Sennetsu Fever, Human Monocytic Ehrlichiosis (HME), and Human Granulocytic Ehrlichiosis (HGE). Though caused by different strains of Ehrlichia bacteria, the disorders are all characterized by similar symptoms.
The symptoms of Sennetsu Fever may include a sudden high fever, headache, and muscle aches (myalgia) within a few weeks after initial infection. In some cases, affected individuals may also experience nausea, vomiting, and/or loss of appetite (anorexia). In addition, in many cases, abnormal laboratory findings may include a decrease in white blood cells (leukopenia) and/or an abnormal increase in the level of certain liver enzymes (hepatic transaminases). Sennetsu Fever is caused by the bacterium Ehrlichia sennetsu. The vector (or carrier) for this bacterium has not yet been determined; however, some researchers believe that infection may result from the ingestion of raw fish.
