Whiplash is a non-medical term describing a range of injuries to the neck caused by or related to a sudden distortion of the neck commonly associated with motor vehicle accidents, usually when the vehicle has been hit in the rear. The injury can be sustained in many other ways, including headbanging, bungee jumping and falls. It is one of the main injuries covered by insurance.
It hurts…
…what just happened?
I never intended to become Catholic. But…then…I never intended to believe…in God…or in anything or anyone other than myself.
Having lived for a considerable time on each side of the faith fence, one thing I can testify to for all the agnostics and atheists out there is that they have an easier ride than people of deep faith. This is not what non-believers propose.
In the typical characterization put forward by agnostics about believers, Christians are grasping onto God like Linus holding onto his blanket. "No matter what happens in the world, if you Christians have your little God blanket, it will all turn out OK."
It is easy for agnostics to hold onto this misconception, because they are generally not willing to engage in serious, meaningful dialogue with Christians.
From this side of the fence, I understand the hesitation of agnostics to welcome "GodTalk." I get it. The talk between believers and non-believers quickly turns passionate, and if someone doesn't get tarred and feathered, they are sure to get thumped by a Bible before things are over.
This is where the concept of sin becomes useful, even to agnostics. We are all subject to the failings of human nature. Call it what you will…sin…or bad judgment…we all have it. Christians are not hypocrites. They are, quite simply put, fallen human beings. Paul, chief among sinners, bemoaned his condition:
18 For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. 19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. 20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me. [Rom 7:18-20]
In these twenty chapters of Coming Home, I have struggled to tell the story of my personal car crash. A little VW Christian on a journey into the Catholic Church, after detours and traffic jams and speeding tickets, finally crashed full speed into a brick wall. The road turned, and the little VW never saw it coming.
This project is not about getting even. And it has not been for the purpose of making me gloat in retribution.
I began the trip early in 2013, hoping to prepare myself to become Catholic. I was ahead of schedule at that point. In 2012, honoring my marital vows and love for my husband, I had "put Catholic on hold" for a future date…many years hence…when my husband could fully trust that I treasured his faith in Christ no less than mine. Just when I had settled on waiting, he flashed the green light. "Yes," he told me. "It's time for you to begin your journey into the Catholic Church."
But faith is not a straight road dictated by Christ, charted by maps and marked at night with bright landing lights. It is an adventure where our faith is tested…tempted…challenged…thwarted…and redirected.
I hurt. Today, I am far afield from the map I had charted. I am not where I expected to be when I first opened the door and walked into RCIA v.1.
I could have used less law and more love in RCIA v.3.
It would have been nice to have heard the truth more promptly and more succinctly in RCIA v.2 and RCIA v.4.
Let your word be 'Yes, Yes' or 'No, No'; anything more than this comes from the evil one. [Mat 5:37]
But even after all that…after RCIA 1 and 2 and 3 and 4…I could have handled all of that…until finally running into the brick wall in RCIA v.5.
What comes next? I don't know. I am waiting to heal.
Yes, healing takes time. And healing involves more than broken bones. In October, I could have knocked on more doors and tried to beg my way into an RCIA program that had empty chairs. Even now in November, I figure that is still a possibility.
But I am tired of banging on the door of Christ's church begging for entry. My body is aching. My heart is in traction. My soul is wounded. And Christ…I try to fit my experiences of the past year into his parable of the wedding feast.
Once more Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying: 2 "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding banquet, but they would not come. 4 Again he sent other slaves, saying, 'Tell those who have been invited: Look, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready; come to the wedding banquet.' 5 But they made light of it and went away, one to his farm, another to his business, 6 while the rest seized his slaves, mistreated them, and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his slaves, 'The wedding is ready, but those invited were not worthy. 9 Go therefore into the main streets, and invite everyone you find to the wedding banquet.' 10 Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered all whom they found, both good and bad; so the wedding hall was filled with guests. [Mat 22:1-10]
I stand on the street, waiting for an invitation to the wedding. If they are inviting both the good and the bad, that should include me. If they can't find me, if they don't see me in the throngs of those wanting to enter, I will jump in the air and wave my hands…even with all the aches, pains and bruises.
Still…I wait…outside a closed door.
I ache. I am bruised. My neck hurts so badly that it can't turn right or left. Is there a speeding train headed toward me on the road ahead where it crosses the tracks? I pray it isn't so. In this condition, I will not be able to turn and see it before it runs me down.
NEXT: more to come…

Have an opinion?
Nope it kills brain cells and makes a person sick as a dog the next day if you drink enough. I dont need that fake high
Without alcohol, human civilization might have never developed. We spent 90% of our history as hunter-gatherers, until we figured out how to make beer about 10,000 years ago. We needed a lot of grain to ferment, so we developed agriculture and settled down. We couldn't follow the herds of wild animals anymore to hunt them, so we domesticated them. We are where we are today because our ancestors liked getting drunk. And that's why I like getting drunk. It's the bedrock of human civilization. All hail Siris!
Sometimes I accidentally swallow the mouth rinse.
I stopped that 10 years ago.
Not really. I don't really like it and it's not that fun and a money pit and most taste like asshole to me. But i love fireball and can drink most dudes under the table. Just gimme some whiskey
Smirn off Ice widka with a some sprite I suppose. I only really drink hardcore liquor, coolers and/ or mix drinks. I don't really like beer...
Yes, on average, I'll drink two or three times per week.
Nope, never.
I've started to enjoy the simple pleasure of having 1 or 2 drinks occasionally when I come home from grad school because the homework is generally easier now. I usually try out different beers, but I do like a good margarita.
Sometimes. Not like every day or anything just a few times a year.
Yes, but not very often. In fact, just the other night was the first time in months that I have drank any.
I used to but not anymore lately... But when I go see those friends again, I can not resist xD
I voted yes for some reason but I don't lol
Whiskey with cherry cola.
I drink alcohol but it's not one of those who isn't careful with themselfs
I drink when it's a party just to try, just a bit. I believe this isn't even drinking
I don't mind some alcohol but water is just better.
I'm a bit drunk right now.
No I don't. Only at certain occasions.
yes but not very often... only when I go out on the weekends and I don't have to drive
No I distanced myself from it years ago.
I sure do
Only Socially. Don't like the taste of any hard liquor just by itself though.
No, I've given it up, I was an excessive alcoholic though :)
just gimme a soda.
no, i only drink beer!
Yeah, not often and not much, but from time to time
Only when I smoke.
Yes, but not too often.
Not really. Once in a blue moon maybe. I'm not a big fan of the taste.
Maybe once or twice a week I'll have a couple drinks.
Yes, never been drunk though
Not always but sometimes. When I have the chance.
Nah, don't like it.
Only on the very rare occasion.
I will never do it.
No I personally think it's stupid
Only socially.

The life of livestock
Dakota Allison
The life of many animals surly begins as newborns from there mother in either a large producing building or somewhere in a small barn if its a family company. But most animals after there first months of life get changed around. some do not know the path that they will face ahead
Most get moved around to other farms or sold to someone the farmer doesn't know. After this stage most can continue a happy lifestyle from grazing in open grass fields or in a warm barn with a stockpile of feed.
For the next 6 months to 2 years these animals will continue there lives until at a point they are sent to the slaughter houses so they can live there life on a shelf for a week.

Who We Are
About IGF
The Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable Development (IGF) is a member-driven organization that provides national governments the opportunity to work collectively to achieve their sustainable mining goals.
It is devoted to optimizing the benefits of mining to achieve poverty reduction, inclusive growth, social development and environmental stewardship.
The IGF serves as a unique global venue for dialogue among its 55 member country governments, mining companies, industry associations and civil society.
It emerged from the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa where delegates recognized the challenges and opportunities related to mining and sustainable development.
IGF Goals
The IGF's overarching objective is enhancing capacities to achieve sustainable development objectives through good governance in the mining sector.
We provide a number of services to members including:
- in-country assessments;
- guidance documents;
- capacity building training on critical mining and sustainable development issues and;
- individualized technical assistance to developing country governments requiring training or guidance on particular topics.
Our efforts are largely framed by IGF's flagship policy guidance and assessment tool, the Mining Policy Framework (MPF), which sets out concrete objectives and processes for good governance. The MPF focuses on the following areas:
Legal and Policy Environment
A mature, modern legislative regime is one that provides clear lines of responsibility and accountability for governments and companies. Such a regime should provide the foundation of good governance and contribute to sustainable development in all aspects of social and economic life.
Financial Benefit Optimization
Taxes and royalty revenues derived from exploration, mine development and production should reflect the value to society of the resources mined. They should be collected and put to work in support of the sustainable development of the nation.
Socioeconomic Benefit Optimization
The conversion of natural capital into human capital holds the greatest promise for sustainable outcomes from mining activities. Maximizing the social and economic development contributions of mining with the host state, especially in developing countries, is a key goal of IGF members.
Post-Mining Transition
A mining operation that is considered consistent with sustainable development is one where planning for the environmental, social and economic transitions to mine closure must be undertaken throughout the entire life cycle of the mine.
Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining
Artisanal and small-scale mining is a complex and diversified sector that ranges from informal individual miners seeking to make a subsistence livelihood, to small-scale formal commercial mining entities that can produce minerals in a responsible way that respects local laws.
Environmental Management
The management of a country's natural resource base and ecosystems is the ongoing responsibility of any society seeking to become more sustainable, and any company seeking to act responsibly. How are a country's ecosystems and natural resources – the country's water, soil, air and biodiversity – protected and supported by existing legislation and policies?

Subject: AI-GEOSTATS: block kriging, routines that do this, especially any in Splusor Arch-info
G'day all,
I'm relatively new to this list so if I'm asking a question that has been recently considered sorry about that. I couldn't see any reference to an archive on the web site so I haven't been through that if there is one.
Basically I'd like to know if theres any free-ware block kriging routines. I've been using Arc-Info as my GIS but as we don't have the spatial modelling module I need some additional software. If theres any routines that are compatible with Arc-info that would be great. Failing that some in Splus would be a close second. Failing that anything will do.
For those that are interested I've included a brief statement on what I'm doing with the block kriging. If anyone has any comments on the method we're following these would be cheerfully, and gratefully, considered.
I'm involved in a project that is attempting to develop a map of past tree density. The idea being that this will assist in developing effective natural resource plans in NSW Australia. We're also going to construct a current tree density map for comparison.
We've using data from the original surveys used to carve up Australia by the Europeans. Bascially we've got the distance from each fence cornerpost to the nearest tree, and we've used this to estimate the tree density at that 'point' . So we've got geostatistical data with a series of 'points' estimating density. We don't want to do ordinary kriging since theres some issues with the density estimate (we can't really have a point estimate of density, density requires size). Also, some of the trees are so close to the corner post that the density estimate is way way way to big.
So we decided that block kriging would be a great way to 'average' this problem out.
Thankyou all for your help.

Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Carpet Cluster
Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Carpet cluster has begun its activity in July 2015 in Yasouj. The number of weavers are about 30,000 people, most of whom are highly skilled in weaving.
There are 85 cooperation workshops in the province. Near 10 percent of the province handwovens are produced by these workshops and over 90 percent of the productions are done at home.
Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad has two types of weaving: Persian knot which is common between Lur people and also Turkish knot that is used by Qashqai and Ghachsaran people.
These designs have antiquity and beauty, and are made by the artists' hands and nomadic women generation by generation.
The low technology tools and accessories are used here. Therefore, using natural colors in the texture shows the high quality of production that is also compatible with the environment. It is worth to know that all hand-weavers in the province are women and girls.
Categories: carpet, kilim, rug releif (Gachmeh), Jajim and pictorial carpet.

Profile/William Amherst Vanderbilt Cecil; Opening His Door to 700,000 Visitors
By ALLEN R. MYERSON
Published: December 13, 1992
ASHEVILLE, N.C.— WILLIAM AMHERST VANDERBILT CECIL owns the largest house in the nation, more than three times the size of the White House, with a yard more than nine times the size of Central Park.
Problem is, the place is too small.
Mr. Cecil has turned the 255-room house, called Biltmore Estate, built by the Vanderbilt family a century ago, into a thriving tourist attraction. More than 700,000 people, most of them paying $21.95 each, will visit this year -- never mind the out-of-the-way location here in western North Carolina. When 10,000 of those guests all wanted to come the day after Thanksgiving, the wait stretched beyond two hours, with visitors cramming the parking lots, ticket office, gift shops, restaurants and house.
Mr. Cecil, through his Biltmore Company, has achieved his improbable business success by making the contradictory seem logical. An aristocratic heir to an aristocratic home, he commissions marketing studies to make sure he can appeal to commoners' tastes. To keep the house private he has welcomed ever-larger throngs of the public, adding dining halls and shops, a winery, Christmas music, candlelight tours and more bathrooms than he can count.
"George Vanderbilt never envisioned 700,000 people a year flushing his toilets," he said, gesturing with a sweep of his arm to the entryway crowd as he called to mind the grandfather who finished the house in 1895. The White House may get twice the tourists, but then Biltmore is far removed from any urban downtown.
Now, at age 64, Mr. Cecil is facing his greatest challenge since he first turned a money-losing, deteriorating estate into a showplace more than two decades ago. When he dies, the tax collector will want his family to pay 55 percent of Biltmore's value in estate taxes. This would probably force his family to sell or develop the property, or turn it over to a foundation or government agency unlikely to afford the upkeep, he says.
"In today's climate, where you have homeless, you have poor, you have far more important, quote unquote, things to look after, where does the legislature cut?" he said. "Maintenance would fall apart."
And so, a man who prides himself on getting along without Federal grants, subsidies, tax breaks, anything -- "We're a contributor to the economy," he said -- has begun lobbying for kinder treatment: a tax deferral until his family sells the estate, or at least a 10-year period in which to pay the taxes.
People like Mr. Cecil, you see, really aren't supposed to flourish in these United States. Alexis de Tocqueville, a French visitor, observed more than a century and a half ago that American conditions, laws and ideals barred the development of a European-style gentry passing vast estates from generation to generation. "The soil of America absolutely rejected a territorial aristocracy," he wrote.
Mr. Cecil laments that Americans show so little attachment to their land. "Europeans have a different outlook on property than we do here," he said. "We're a mobile nation. Most of us Americans move five or six times in a lifetime. Europeans are sticks in the mud."
To meet Mr. Cecil is to begin learning about how he resolves the conflicts that have shaped him and his business. His words are somehow clipped and drawled at the same time, reflecting a parentage and upbringing half American, half British. He was born at Biltmore in 1928, the son of George Vanderbilt's daughter and a father descended directly from Lord Burghley, Queen Elizabeth I's Lord High Commissioner.
The estate's grounds, originally 125,000 acres but now 8,000, were landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted, whose preparation for the Biltmore job included Central Park. The architect was Richard Morris Hunt, who piled on so many towers and turrets and gargoyles and spires that he needed to raid the designs of at least three of the greatest Loire Valley chateaux.
In recent years, Mr. Cecil has spent less time on the estate than in his office building five miles away, a stark corporate fortress of concrete and tinted glass, designed by I.M. Pei, that he bought second-hand.
The sense that he is sometimes talking down to visitors and employees there comes from both height (6 feet 4 inches) and hauteur: "Let me correct one mistake," he began. "It's not the Biltmore. It's Biltmore. Biltmore House. The Biltmore is a hotel."
His staff whispers that he is reluctant to go to the estate too often because his health and size have hobbled him. He says that he is afraid he will be asked to sign guidebooks and brochures: "I don't do windows and I don't do autographs."
BUT he does do balance sheets and marketing plans. "I never had any qualms about making this a serious business," he said.
To emphasize that it's a family business, not a family playground, he lives in a house off the estate, with his wife, Mary. "There's no way you can say Biltmore is a private home," he said. "It's a private corporation. My daughter wanted to get married there. I said, 'Hell no. It's not your home.' She'll never forgive me."
His son and daughter, William Jr. and Diana Pickering, both in their 30's, have been in the business for several years. His own path back to Biltmore was more circuitous.

Apple iPhone 5 ReviewApple iPhone 5
Above the surface, we've come to appreciate the new design that Apple bestowed upon its latest iPhone – and without doubt, it's refreshing to say the least. However, beneath the water, there's the matter of its software experience, which as we all know by now, is none other than Apple's retooled iOS 6 experience. So what can we say about it on the iPhone 5? Well people, if you haven't checked out our review of iOS 6, it's worth checking out to get up to snuff with the new features. Here's the thing, it's visually identical to all previous versions of iOS – though, it's been updated with some new tangible features (some being removed as well) that make the experience a pleasure to use.
When compared to its rivals, iOS 6 is visually boring looking with its typical grid-like icons taking hostage of its homescreen. Certainly, it was a revolutionary thing to see back in 2007 when it first came to light, but when it's pitted against some of the graphically intensive UIs of other platforms, it doesn't particularly come off as eye-catching. However, the rehashed style of the interface is exactly what makes it an iconic (no pun here folks) experience – something that people have come to accept at this point. Now this time around, the larger display provides for an additional row of icons in the homescreen, making the total stand at 5 rows versus the previous 4. Essentially, the look and feel of iOS 6 favors ease of use and simplicity more than visual flare. So yes, it's a platform that's uncomplicated, has a low learning curve, and is timely succinct.
Facebook integration throughout the platform – and even better, the notifications panel gives us access to posting messages to either Facebook or Twitter. However, there's nothing else new found with the iPhone 5's notification system. Secondly, Siri has been upgraded as well to provide additional enhancements that no doubt come off as entertaining at times. Specifically, Siri is now equipped in providing details surround restaurants, sports, news, and movies. In fact, Siri is smart enough to hone into our GPS location to pinpoint what movie theaters are playing around the area – with detailed info regarding playing times and the synopsis of the flicks. Indeed, it's amusing and all, especially when it's fairly accurate with its voice recognition.
With the rest of the new features of iOS 6, they're mainly subtle visual changes that differentiate the platform's style – such as the new layout of the dial pad and faint increase of the display's brightness as it's turned on. From the onset, there are still many apps that haven't been updated or optimized to take advantage of the larger display, which results in black bars on the top and bottom of the apps. Nonetheless, it's only a matter of time before they're updated. Overall, the iOS 6 experience is appreciable enough to tide us over for another year, but it's desperately in need of a major visual overhaul to keep it attractive amongst other things out there. It's easy, so that's partly the reason for its humble styling.
Looking over at the many core organizer apps of the iPhone 5, it's pretty obvious that there's nothing new whatsoever with them – both in presentation and in functionality. For example, as we peer at most of its core organizer apps, which consists of Contacts, Stocks, Weather, Notes, Clock, Calculator, and Reminders, they're identical to Apple's last effort. However, since there's now a larger display in tow with the smartphone, we're able to see more content at once – meaning, there's less scrolling involved. Despite their unchanged looks and functions, they're of course more than practical to use.
Far from having the deep productivity aspects of Android's Gmail experience, the Email app of the iPhone 5 is still practical enough to use to keep us busy on the road organizing stuff. Even though the layout remains largely intact, the only recognizable standout is the new the refresh function that's done by pulling down on the column and letting go. Otherwise, everything from before is still here – like its universal inbox and easy setup process. Though, it would've been nice to see a "select all" function to clear out our unwanted emails.
We've always been happy with the messaging experience with the iPhone, since its responsiveness and killer auto-correct feature makes for one satisfying experience. Well people, there isn't much new here again aside from the more spacious layout of its landscape option, which is due to the larger display on board. Relying on the portrait option, there's nothing out of character, as we're able to type at a fanatical rate without worries – partly thanks to its superb auto-correct feature of course. Alternatively, we can rely on Siri to jot down our message by simply speaking them, and for the most part, she adheres properly to every spoken word.
Processor and Memory:
Realizing it more than ever, especially when its rivals tout their fancy schmancy processors, Apple has this other approach when it comes to raw processing power – its real-world performance over specs. To tell you the truth, we really don't need to know what's ticking on the inside of this baby, as its brisk performance in all areas is reason enough to win us over. Well, just for those curious out there, the iPhone 5 is packing along Apple's new A6 chipset, which is of the dual-core variety coupled with 1GB of RAM. Can we say that it's simply marvelous with all its operations? From opening up apps, playing games, to moving about its homescreen, everything, and we everything is accompanied with fluid executions with very few instances of any hiccups – then again, the platform isn't graphically as demanding as its rivals. Nevertheless, we're soundly satisfied with the flattering and smooth performance of the handset.
In a way, we're not particularly shocked by the revelation, since it's been what we've been exposed to for a while now, but we were still crossing our fingers in hopes of seeing larger storage capacities with the iPhone 5. Alas, that's not the case, as we're again presented with 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities. Needless to say, you can quickly fill the handset up if you're not cautious on what you save, since there's no expandable memory.
Internet and Connectivity:
Well, what do we have here? It's an iPhone outfitted with the comforts of 4G LTE connectivity in tow! Yes people, the iPhone 5 has finally taken the plunge in offering the next-generation data connection, which soundly goes to show it's finally meeting up with the rest of the world. Naturally, the speedy connection complements the already existing wonderful experience of mobile Safari, but there isn't much of a change this time around except that the browser takes advantage of the extra real estate of the display by offering a full-screen mode. Meanwhile, we're greeted with Safari's oh-so sweet fluid navigational controls and instantaneous renders of complex pages. So yeah, the 4G LTE connection will no doubt appease many people!
Unlike last year's model, which relied on a single unit being manufactured to accommodate all three major carriers, Apple has decided to make three variants of the iPhone 5 to make it compatible with the various 4G LTE networks around. Specifically, there's one model to support AT&T's LTE network, another one that's compatible with the LTE networks of Sprint and Verizon, and a third one to handle the LTE networks in Europe and Asia. As for the other connectivity options on board with the iPhone 5, they consist of the usual suspects – these include aGPS, Bluetooth 4.0, 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, and mobile hotspot (you'll need to subscribe to gain the feature). Noticeably absent is NFC, which some might find peculiar as many competing handset feature it, but rather, Apple is banking on its Passbook app as an alternative solution.

Hear me out folks. According to PA's measurements:-
Volume of iPhone 4S:- 62.78 cc
Volume of iPhone 5 :- 55.14 cc
Even though I hate Apple(due to their lawsuits), I have to commend them for this improvement.

i agree with U.
285. AppleHateBoy (unregistered)
They just have to change the design, software UI and maps and PA will give it a 10. No offence but if other phones are getting so low scores (like Optimus G, International One X, Lumia 920) this is what I have to say.
According to me they only need to change the Design of the Phone, Change the software UI, replace Apple Maps with Google Maps, Make the UI more customizable and they will have a real winner on their hands.
Plus also add a microSD slot and a universal USB connector instead of that dopey proprietary connector.

I did not mean the Optimus G(it hasn't been reviewed yet). And I meant Lumia 900.

Award for the most obvious comment!!!!
But not the best phone in the world, I still think the SGS2 is better than SGS3 (cheap plastic) and if the 3 looked like the HTC One X with the features and specs it has it would be the ultimate phone, removable battery and sdcard of course

Wow, i was really expecting some solid news for the battery and it does not seem good. If the battery is just the same as the 4s on 3g, 4g LTE is going to take its hit. Its going to be rather ironic, that up to a year or so ago, iphones had pretty solid battery performance compared to many android and it now seems to be switching places.

Engadget tested with an LTE looped video, with wifi and Bluetooth on, and it got 10 minutes less than the Droid Razr Maxx.

It's true
"On our standard battery rundown test, in which we loop a video with LTE and WiFi enabled and social accounts pinging at regular intervals, the iPhone 5 managed a hugely impressive 11 hours and 15 minutes. That's just 10 minutes shy of the Motorola Droid RAZR Maxx."

wow, and this has what? a pair of 32nm cores? is there any word on what the mAh-age is? imagine how good the MAXX HD is going to be...good googly moogly, it's simply mouth watering.
92. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
A pair of 32nm cores at 1 GHz and a tri-core GPU; the battery is 1,440 mAh if I'm not mistaken.
I haven't seen you around here lately King, and I just mentioned you in a comment not too long ago!
120. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
only 1,440mAh? there must be some special sauce at work here. yeah, i saw that article. it's believed to be a PowerVR SGX543(MP3) if i'm not mistaken. i didn't even know there was such a thing... xD
i've been here and there. i don't really participate in a lot of the over active articles surrounding the iPhone but i do like to give my 2 cents in the articles like this that really matter.
oh yeah? i think we think a lot alike Bezerk. c:

Apple advertised in their announcement that they made some special software optimizations to improve battery life, they didn't exactly specify, but it sure did work whatever it was.
Neither do I, I actually tend to stay away from PA when there's an Apple product release, to bypass the iDevice flood. But this time around I decided to stick around and straighten some people up where I can. A mans work is never done...

Action is unfolding full flow at the
EMVIES. The single awards, which recognise media
innovations and efficiencies, are all set to adjudge
the initiatives taken in 2005. While Times Now has
been roped in as title sponsor, the category sponsors
are Indiatimes.com for the digital category and Radio
Mirchi for radio category. TAM continues with the
award sponsorship of the 'Best TV Research' category.
exchange4media.com is the official media partner.
The Bombay Ad Clubs intends to limit
the sponsors to only these many. Speaking more on the
rationale behind this, Apurva Purohit, Chairperson,
EMVIES, said, "We are very careful on that count as we
want to ensure that the sponsors get their due. For
the past two years, we have been refusing sponsors due
to this." Purohit explained that unlike the initial
year, when the Ad Club had to chase sponsors, the last
two years had seen them aplenty.
Giving the reasons for partnering
with the event, Times Now's Vice-President and
Business Head, Partho Dasgupta, said, "Times Now
supports the advertising and media fraternity. We even
have a weekly show called 'Brand Equity' dedicated to
this audience. We were associated with the Ad Review
2006, International Advertising Association, the Brand
Equity Quiz and the Abbys. EMVIES takes us a step
further in our celebration of good work by media
While Dasgupta "wishes to recognise
the excellence in the media industry through EMVIES",
Prashant Panday, Deputy CEO, Radio Mirchi, was of the
opinion that as a media event, EMVIES had come a long
way. "We have seen the event very closely. In fact,
Sharath Chandra has been on its jury. We have observed
that the event has been managed very efficiently and
presents a perfect platform to connect with the media
professionals. Also, given the kind of industry
initiatives we have been associating with, EMVIES
surely fits our scheme of affairs perfectly," Panday
Reiterating this point, Purohit said,
"At the end of the day, EMVIES is the single event
that recognises media excellence. The response and
participation of the industry towards the event has
increased year-on-year. For any brand that wishes to
communicate any message to this fraternity, there
cannot be a better platform."
The EMVIES is scheduled to take place
on June 22, 2006.

The Trell were a non-human pastoral nomadic warrior society in transition to sedentarianism.[1] They were descendants of the Thelomen Toblakai, and also from the Venath.[2] They inhabited an area on the western side of the Jhag Odhan in Seven Cities.[3]
They were a society in transition. Originally defined by wandering warring clans who lived in yurts, the Trell began establishing merchant settlements that traded in bhederin, goats, and sheep. At least one settlement was home to fifteen thousand Trell. Not all were ready to accept the change, and many youths left their homes for adoptive clans that still followed the old ways.[4]
Tribal elders appeared to have a place of leadership within Trell society.[5] Trell witches, known as shoulder-women, were ancient creatures with the power to conduct divinations from bone and imbue objects with sorcerous power.[6][7] They also possessed a wealth of esoteric historical knowledge long forgotten by others.[8]
Trell lived for hundreds of years. Mappo Runt was over four hundred years old before he became Icarium's guardian at the behest of the Nameless Ones.[9]
They buried their dead in chambers beneath heaped mounds of stone and earth.[10]

Angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2) is a chronic inflammatory mediator that, when deregulated, is associated with various pathologies. However, little is known about its activity in lung. To assess a possible lung function, we generated a rabbit monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes mouse ANGPTL2 and then evaluated protein expression in mouse lung tissue. We observed abundant ANGPTL2 expression in both alveolar epithelial type I and type II cells and in resident alveolar macrophages under normal conditions. To assess ANGPTL2 function, we compared lung phenotypes in Angptl2 knockout (KO) and wild-type mice but observed no overt changes. We then generated a bleomycin-induced interstitial pneumonia model using wild-type and Angptl2 KO mice. Bleomycin-treated wild-type mice showed specifically upregulated ANGPTL2 expression in areas of severe fibrosing interstitial pneumonia, while Angptl2 KO mice developed more severe lung fibrosis than did comparably treated wild-type mice. Lung fibrosis seen following bone marrow transplant was comparable in wild-type or Angptl2 KO mice treated with bleomycin, suggesting that Angptl2 loss in myeloid cells does not underlie fibrotic phenotypes. We conclude that Angptl2 deficiency in lung epithelial cells and resident alveolar macrophages causes severe lung fibrosis seen following bleomycin treatment, suggesting that ANGPTL2 derived from these cell types plays a protective role against fibrosis in lung.

A trip, deep into the heart of Manila, along the Quiapo streets less taken. It can be argued the the district of Quiapo is the very heart of the Manila; a microcosms of sort. It is divided by Quezon Boulevard into two general areas. In the better known part, one can locate the Quiapo Church, Raon, and the haven for photographers, Hidalgo Street. The other side, however, seems to be typically less explored by local tourists.8 Share Tweet

moisture in coal combustion
Can anybody share experience on considering the moisture in coal on pulverised coal combustion?
I am simulating coal combustion. I am using two-mixture fraction model to define coal composition in prePDF, where I used empirically defined stream for the secondary stream (volatiles stream).
In my simulation, I need consider the influence of the moisture of coal on the combustion. My question is how to represent the moisture content in prePDF. Should I use the atomic fraction (i.e. H and O) to represent H2O as defining the secondary fuel stream, or by other ways?
Any response on this poster would be appreciated.
Re: moisture in coal combustion
Hi Sheng, If you don't insert are water as independent substance (it is correct but tricky way) and insert H an O as elements you need to modify high heat of combustion - some heat would used to water evaporation. Also it would change flame temperature distribution Also note that water reacts with carbon, produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen and other substances.
BR, Stas
Re: moisture in coal combustion
i am interested in this question. the moisture reduce the peak temperature and the NOx emissions change, who has the experience about the pulverized coal combustion modelling with the consideration of the moisture. can you share it?
Re: moisture in coal combustion
Thanks a lot for your response.
I had ever used the water as an independent substance. However, because high moisture means lower fuel heat value, sometime the prePDF calculation couldn't be performed. I increased the heating value in prePDF and compensated it in FLUENT (considered the latent heat for volatile. But as using 1 mixture model, the compensation value is a problem. Moreover, just as you said, such kind input is a tricky way.
Thanks again

About the Book
Ce recueil de photos sur le Cameroun présente sept ans de prise de vue dans les cinq régions les plus représentatives de ce pays bien nommé "l'Afrique en miniature"
About the Creator
Biography I am a French photographer specialised in developing countries ( in particular the African Continent). I first completed expedition trips in (more or less) 30 countries before taking up residence in Yaoundé (Cameroon) for a few years. After four years devoted to Cameroon, I am now based in Dublin (Ireland). I gained most of my experience through the various photo projects I completed for many NGO's such as: World Wide Fund (WWF), Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), Organisation Mondiale du Tourisme (OMT) or international Cooperation services, among them the German Cooperation (GTZ), the Dutch Cooperation (SNV), the Belgian Cooperation (CTB), … At the same time I developed a project about the African nude in my studio. I am presenting this work in my book.

It's almost time for high school seniors to start filling out their college applications, on which they'll answer essay questions like the standard -- if you could invite four people, living or dead, to dinner, who would it be and why? That got us to thinking. What if we could host a hoops-centric dinner party? Who would make our guest list?
This week, each of our writers will answer that question. We encourage you to do the same via Twitter using #collegehoopsdinner.
Location: Alinea in Chicago. I lived in Chicago for six years, and while I found a variety of ways to spend too much money on food, I never managed to put in the reserve-months-in-advance effort required to splurge at one of the world's most renowned restaurants. What better excuse than this? As a bonus, the avant garde "food" and exacting presentation would surely force my dinner companions out of their respective comfort zones. A round of taffy helium balloons for the table, please.
John Calipari: The first invitee needs no introduction and only minimal explanation. No one in college basketball is as fascinating. There's also no one more exacting in his public persona. Every utterance is on message. It would be fun to get behind the Great Wall of Brand for an evening, to pick Calipari's brain through 22 courses of strange food. I'm not sure if it's even possible, but it would be fun.
Bob Knight: I have a deep fondness for "Midnight in Paris," Woody Allen's 2011 treatise on the pleasures and pitfalls of nostalgia. In the film, Owen Wilson's Allen stand-in "Gil" finds himself transported by some magical force to 1920s-era Paris, where he meets Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Cole Porter, Gertrude Stein, Salvador Dali, etc. If this idealized dinner is my "Midnight in Paris," the General is my Papa -- boisterous, irascible, in open intellectual disagreement with everyone around him. Putting him and Calipari at the same table might be a recipe for angry glares and awkward silence. Or it could lead to passionate discussion about the game and the culture that surrounds it.
James Naismith: Since this group can be anyone alive or dead, and I've already used my "Midnight in Paris" analogy quota, I think it would be fascinating to transport Naismith to the modern day and plant him in front of two coaches who symbolize distinctly different swaths of what his modest creation eventually became. This is a man who once told his protege Phog Allen that basketball couldn't be coached, only played. What would he think of what the game has become? What would he think about Knight's militaristic style -- one that became a template for thousands of coaches in the latter half of the 20th century? What would he think of Calipari, who is always five years ahead of everyone else? What would be more confusing: Modern basketball or taffy helium balloons?
Bill Raftery: This is as easy as these selections get. There isn't a table in America he wouldn't make better. Industry tales of Raftery-led dinners will reverberate through time. His legend is already secure. His services are especially required for this outing, though. What this table needs, amid all the time travel and heady verbal sparring, is an irrepressibly funny Raftery enjoying a beverage and poking fun at everyone for taking themselves so seriously. Presumably he'd make fun of whatever Naismith was wearing before saying "Ooh, just having fun with ya, Jimmy!" If heaven is real, it looks a little bit like this.


text: Well, this has been a long time coming and I know there are lots of guys on here that have been patiently waiting to see some results. I have had some serious headaches with dies, reamers and brass for this new cartridge. Its been a hard fight for over a year now but things are STARTING to come together. Still have a couple issues to clear up but at least we are actually able to get bullets in the air and do some full pressure load development. I have not even taken any pictures yet of anything, just spent the morning doing some velocity testing to see what the 338 Raptor will do with fully sized brass. First the rifle specs: APS Raptor LRSS Single shot Mcmillan A-5 fully adjustable stock 29" Lilja Raptor LRSS custom contour barrel (would have been 30" but had issues) 1-10 twist Medium PK muzzle brake Bead Blast matte finish Timney match trigger Leupold Mk4 FFP 6.5-20x 50mm TMR reticle 4 NF Ultralight tactical rings Also want to mention that the 338 Raptor will be available in two neck options, tight(neck turn) and standard. This rifle is the tight neck just because I wanted to see how the brass would handle neck turning. The 338 Raptor also uses a conventional throat with leade angle of conventional specs so nothing special there, just old fashion conventional design. The rifle was supposed to have a full 30" barrel length which is standard length for my Raptor LRSS rifles but the muzzle was slightly belled for some reason so I had to cut the muzzle back an inch to clean up the muzzle to proper bore diameter. Not a huge issue but would have liked a full 30" for the added 15-20 fps without any more stress on the brass. Again, this was velocity testing only at the shop. Tested four different powders, H-50BMG, RL50, WC860 and US869. With my test brass FL sized and neck turned for a neck thickness of 0.010" and trimmed to length, I started with H-50BMG. Again, this brass is fully formed, correct headstamped brass made by Bertram. NO FIREFORMING needed of any kind. Load specs that were static are: Conditions were roughly 80 degrees Fed-215 primer 4.340" OAL (Ya, the Raptor is made for a single shot platform) With H-50BMG I started at 120 gr and worked up from there. Here are the velocity results with this powder: 120.0 gr............................3055 fps 121.0 gr............................3069 fps 122.0 gr............................3081 fps 123.0 gr............................3098 fps 100% load density 124.0 gr............................3128 fps 125.0 gr............................3141fps 126.0 gr............................3158 fps Crunching powder more then I like With H-50BMG it appears that around 3100 fps should be considered about max out of this 29" Lilja. Now, my design goals for the 338 Raptor were to split the difference between my 338 Allen Xpress (3000 fps) and the 338 Allen Magnum (3300 fps) with the 300 gr bullet weights. So, my velocity goals for the 338 Raptor are 3150 fps with a 300 gr bullet weight in a 30" barrel length. First powder out of the box got very close. I knew however that H-50BMG is a very bulky powder and in previous testing I ran out of case capacity sooner then I expected. 3100 fps was about what I was expecting to see but I did get a bit more pressure then I was expecting with a slight ejector ring on the case head at anything over 3100 fps. Next powder up was RL50. I had great hopes for this powder and so far its performed pretty well. This is a very dense powder and allows a lot more weight of powder to be crammed into the same volume!!! Same specs are previous test, here are the results. 120.0 gr......................3021 fps 122.0 gr......................3048 fps 124.0 gr......................3074 fps 125.0 gr......................3100 fps 127.0 gr......................3137 fps 128.0 gr......................3167 fps 129.0 gr......................3182 fps 130.0 gr......................3205 fps slight ejector ring Max load 131.0 gr......................3244 fps Ejector ring to heavy for my liking I was very happy with these results. There was a slight ejector ring at the 130.0 gr load level but I suspect at more conventional hunting temps, this will be a very comfortable load right at 3200 fps. Still, I really liked the 129.0 gr load, very comfortable, just a ghost line of an ejector ring and still +3180 fps out of a 29" barrel length. Next up was WC-860. This is a surplus powder that is very similar in burn rate to AA8700 and the old H-870. Lot to lot its burn rate can vary a bit so you have to do some load development testing to find out the burn rate you have. That is why it costs so much less then commercial canister powder. One of the main drawbacks with this powder is that its a ball powder and tends to have some velocity variation with wide temp changes. This is certainly a concern if you hunt in a wide range of temps. Me personally, where I hunt, its rarely much more then a 30 degree temp change over my shooting times and generally less then 20 degrees as most of my hunting is early morning or late evening so temps tend to be pretty consistant. If you accept this issue and plan for it, this is a great powder, along with WC-872 and WC-578. The benefit of ball powder is its lower burn temp and very easy on throat wear, well, compared to conventional stick powders. Its also produces an extremely high load density allowing you to get a lot of powder in a give volume and never a worry about powder bridging!!! Anyway, here are the results: 125.0 gr.........................3118 fps 127.0 gr.........................3145 fps 128.0 gr.........................3166 fps 130.0 gr.........................3191 fps 131.0 gr.........................3210 fps 132.0 gr.........................3239 fps Slight ejector ring 133.0 gr.........................3255 fps To hot, heavy ejector ring Very happy with these results, 3200 fps is very comfortable with WC-860 with a bit of room above that for some added cushion of safety margin. Was a bit surpised that the velocity increases with the Raptor has been relatively low per grain but that is not unusual with a case of this capacity. Smaller capacity chamberings will generally show much more FPS per gain of powder increase. That does not matter much at all to me, just tells you the big displacement takes its time to get to where its going and it makes it easier to read pressures when velocities are jumping 20-25 fps at a time instead of 50 fps per grain as you work up. Next up and final powder tested this morning was Hodgdon US-869. Again, very similar to the surplus powders. A bit better at velocity consistency over temp changes but still not quite as good as the best stick powders. Here are the results. 125.0 gr.........................3128 fps 127.0 gr.........................3151 fps 128.0 gr.........................3174 fps 130.0 gr.........................3206 fps 131.0 gr.........................3228 fps 132.0 gr.........................3253 fps slight ejector ring 133.0 gr.........................3275 fps To hot, heavy ejector ring US-869 showed a slight increase in velocity for same powder charge compared to WC860. For all intent and purpose, they are pretty much the same. Best top working loads look to be in the 3210-3220 fps range in this 29" barrel length. All in all, very happy. Again, my velocity goals for the 338 Raptor are to split the difference between the 338 Allen Xpress and 338 Allen Magnum in a 30" barrel length. With three of the powder tested, RL50, WC-860 and US-869, 3150 fps is a piece of cake and a VERY comfortable load pressure wise. With the Ball powders, 3200 fps is fully practical with a 300 gr berger out of a 29" barrel length. Very happy. I am very curious what would happen if I put my hybrid throat in this rifle just to see what it would do. IF the results were consistant with my other wildcats having the hybrid throat compared to conventional throat, I believe the Raptor will allow 3250 to 3300 fps velocity ranges in 30" barrel length. Still, my main concern is throat life. The Hybrid throat design offers dramatic velocity improvements in my 338 Allen Xpress and 338 Allen Magnum but at an expense of throat life. ITs not as huge of an issue with the 338 Allen Xpress with its 100-110 gr powder charges but when you put the Hybrid throat design in the 338 Allen Magnum with its 140-150 gr powder charges, you can eat a throat pretty quickly. I suspect that along with the Allen Magnum, the Raptor may also see issues with premature throat erosion but I may have to order in a hard cut rifled barrel and test it just to see. 3300 fps in a conventional sized rifle with a 300 gr berger would be something special for sure. That is basically my 338 Allen Magnum accuracy load in a conventional Lapua sized receiver...... Much more testing to come. I am trying hard not to want to push things to hard. My design goal was 3150 fps in a 30" barrel length and it appears this is very practical with the several powders used. May be wise just to be happy with meeting my goals and leave it there. Will get some rounds loaded up for long range testing and will get some pics of the rifle and the 338 Raptor when I do that sometime this week if I can get up to the range before temps break into the 90 degree range!!! Sorry for no pics but so far, the Raptor seems to be producing what I expected it to do. As mentioned, still have a couple minor issues that need to be corrected and they are in the process of being corrected but all in all, good start.

While the violence and protesting has subsided from Tahrir Square, it has started to expand outward to other areas in Egypt. Pierre Sioufi recently uploaded these photos of Tahrir square to Facebook:
"We are all Khaled Said" reports that fighting has broken out all across Tahrir square:
Street fighting between police firing rubber bullets and tear gas and sitting inside their armourd vehicles with bare handed protesters defending themselves and standing against these armourd vehicles...
As the owner of the 'We are all Khaled Said" page goes to sleep, he leaves the community with one final thought:
Good night everyone. A kind request to our international supporters: Make your voice heard, tell your representatives and members of parliament that you do not wish for your government to support dictatorships like Mubarak's.
The protests continue to wage on. Violence has now disrupted the peaceful protests as police forces are becoming desperate to to end the unrest. Al Jazeera has compiled this footage of the day's events:
The Facebook page "We are all Khaled Said" has recently reported that police have hired criminals to dress in plain clothes and attack protesters in Tahrir square. Here is an image of what the the square looked like earlier in the night:
Al Jazeera has also reported that police have started to attack the protesters, who are participating in a peaceful sit-in.
Many protesters are fainting from the amount of teargas used (more than 60 cannons so far) and police is attacking everyone and randomly arresting people in side roads. Shame on you. Shame on you.
Breaking News now on Aljazeera: Police is attacking the Tahrir square sit-in. they are firing very intense tear gas to try to break the protest. Sky News breaking news: more than 50 cannons of tear gas just fired now on Tahrir protesters
Posted on We are all Khaled Said Facebook page
Even with the violence and extreme tactics to get protesters to disperse, a large portion of the crowd still remains steadfast.
Two protester deaths have been announced on the Egyptian opposition el-Shaheed's Facebook page. Also, news outlets have reported that a police officer has also been killed.
From the el-Shaheed's Facebook page titled "We are all Khaled Said:"
Suliman Saber Ali is the second victim in Suez. Egyptian Police opened fire on protesters killing him and Mustafa Reda.
Many facebook users have responded to these updates with their own comments. Upon hearing the news of these two casualties, Tina Liss replied:
every dead one is one too much but at least its a small solace to know that these brave men died for a good thing and maybe history is written with their blood...
Watch this video showing a protester attempting to stop a truck with a water cannon from moving forward to the more populated areas:
While Twitter remains down in Egypt, protesters have started using proxy servers to post to Twitter. Activity on Facebook is still strong. The most recent post on Facebook announced an unverified casualty:
the fall of the first martyrs in the Suez "Mustafa Reda" 20 years old was shot in the heart
Jabir bin Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them; said: The Messenger of Allah peace be upon him: "The Lord of the martyrs Hamza Bin Abdul Muttalib, and a man who stood up before an unjust, ordered him and forbade him, killing him."
Translated from Arabic to English by Google Translate
The protests were organized using a Facebook fan page that is being updated every few minutes.
The page is titled:
January 25 Revolution Day on torture, poverty, corruption and unemployment
The page describes their slogan:
Slogan of the day: Live - freedom - human dignity
And your honor Iablde cloud and infect!!
Translated from Arabic to English by Google Translate
(Washington Post)
The protests were organized on Facebook and Twitter, though reports are now surfacing that Twitter is being blocked in Egypt.
Vodafone Egypt seems to confirm the news that Twitter has been blocked:
Protesters attempting to storm the parliament:
Thousands of protesters spilled into the streets of Cairo on Tuesday, an unprecedented display of anti-government rage inspired in part by the tumult in the nearby North African nation of Tunisia.
Throngs in the sprawling city marched from the huge Tahrir Square in Cairo toward the parliament building, according to CNN reporters on the scene.
Demonstrators threw rocks at police and police hurled rocks back. Tear-gas canisters were shot at demonstrators and the protesters threw them back.
Protest organizers said they hope to capture the regional momentum for political change set by Tunisians, who 10 days ago forced the collapse of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's 23-year rule.
The grievances were foreshadowed after several Egyptians set themselves or attempted to set themselves on fire earlier this month, mirroring the self-immolation of a Tunisian man whose action spurred the uprising there.

Representatives Denny Rehberg (R-MT) and Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services and Education, today praised Education Secretary Arne Duncan for prioritizing early childhood education by directing $500 million to those programs out of $700 million Race to the Top funds his Department received in the full year Continuing Resolution that was signed into law last month.
"Today, working together across the aisle and across town with the Administration, we redoubled our national commitment to early childhood education," said Rehberg. "I appreciate the tireless efforts of my friend Rosa DeLauro and the leadership of Secretary Arne Duncan to make this critical priority a reality. The value of education cannot be overstated, and as a parent I've seen first-hand the way an early education sets the tone for the rest of someone's life."
Working together across party lines, Rehberg and DeLauro sent a letter urging Secretary Duncan to designate at least $350 million provided by Congress in FY2011 for activities pertaining to quality improvement in early childhood care and education. Rehberg and DeLauro are also the co-chairs of the Congressional Baby Caucus.
In direct response to their efforts, Secretary Duncan and Health Secretary Kathleen Sebelius today announced that $500 million in funds would be directed toward early childhood education.


text: Mindspeed Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: MSPD), a leading supplier of semiconductor solutions for network infrastructure and data center applications, today announced the industry's lowest-power clock and data recovery (CDR) devices capable of supporting data rates up to 28 gigabits per second (Gbps). Low power dissipation is a critical requirement for small form factor interconnects for the 100 Gigabit Ethernet, InfiniBand and optical transport systems enabling port densities that the industry must achieve in order to handle increasing Internet traffic and escalating online video content demand. Mindspeed®'s four channel CDRs support data rates required for multiple standards including 100G Ethernet, InfiniBand Enhanced Data Rate (EDR), 32G Fibre Channel and Optical Transport Network (OTU-4). The low-power solution enables next-generation optical and copper module form factors, such as CFP-2, CFP-4 and Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP). Mindspeed's CDRs integrate key features, such as an input equalizer and output de-emphasis to optimize link performance and support line card retiming applications as well as loopback for system level diagnostics. The devices are reference-free, eliminating the need for reference crystal oscillators thus reducing the number of components and cost required to implement a retiming function. Further, the devices include input equalization circuitry to support lossy channels and support a wide output amplitude range to seamlessly interoperate with optical assemblies. Molex Incorporated has used Mindspeed's CDRs to demonstrate the industry's first, fully retimed 100Gbps zQSFP+ Active Optical Cable meeting stringent power consumption and thermal constraints of a small modular form factor. "In the drive to match 100Gbps port count density to current 10Gbps interconnect levels, system OEMs require small front panel pluggable modules, which will enable tenfold increase in front panel bandwidth density. This creates a challenge for interconnect manufacturers to meet the power consumption and thermal constraints of QSFP modules," said Adit Narasimha, director of new product development at Molex, Inc. "Molex's silicon photonics-based zQSFP+ solutions in combination with Mindspeed's low power CDRs are the first to demonstrate 100Gbps small form factor modules with retiming in both transmit and receive directions."

Spinach Salad With Strawberries
Recipe by Sandy Doenges
Delicious colorful light salad. I have also served with chicken tenders. Strawberries are my favorite especially when in season, but you can use any fruit desired. It takes a little while to make the spiced pecans, but is well worth it or you can also toast the pecans instead of using spiced version.
Top Review by CarolAT
This salad was excellent. The spiced nuts and the fresh salad dressing really added to the great taste of this crisp salad. Following the directions for the spiced pecans, I had enough coating mixture for more than one cup so I tossed in two more cups of pecans before baking them . They make really good snacks too. I will be making this salad dressing for other salads as well because this was an excellent dressing. Thanks for posting your recipe. Made for Fall PAC 2008.

I am currently running Sysaid for our helpdesk, but I want to switch over to Spicworks. I was able to export all of my Sysaid tickets to a .csv file and I was also able to import certain fields into Spiceworks. However there were several fields that did not import. Does anyone have any tips on importing all of the fields over to Spiceworks?
This topic was created during version 5.0.

Add customer attributes to match the fields from Sysaid. Then reimport your tickets.
To setup custom attributes go to Helpdesk Settings>Advanced & International. Here you can setup the custom attributes. This should get you close.
