Drugs May Rebuild Muscle in Frail Elderly
(p. B1) In 1997, scientist Se-Jin Lee genetically engineered "Mighty Mice" with twice as much muscle as regular rodents. Now, pharmaceutical companies are using his discovery to make drugs that could help elderly patients walk again and rebuild muscle in a range of diseases.
. . .
"I am very optimistic about these new drugs," says Dr. Lee, a professor of molecular biology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, who isn't involved in any of the drug trials. "The fact that they're so far along means to me they must have seen effects."
Myostatin is a naturally occurring protein that curbs muscle growth. The drugs act by blocking it, or blocking the sites where it is detected in the body, potentially rebuilding muscle.
For the full story, see:

According to the invention, a combustion chamber for internal combustion engines is constructed by forming a combustion chamber recessed in the head portion of a piston, and disposing therein a fuel injection nozzle means that atomizes and supplies the fuel thereinto in such a manner that the plural number of fuel mists formed by the fuel injection nozzle means will strike the inner wall of the combustion chamber at intervals at the outside of the swirl generated in the combustion chamber but adhere to the combustion chamber inner wall flowing in the direction of the swirl. Therefore, the fuel so supplied does not cool the combustion chamber inner wall excessively, and itself is heated by the heat of the inner wall as well as by the heat of the compressed air so to vaporize easily, so that favorable dispersion and distribution of the mixture gas within the combustion chamber is ensured, developing stabilized power output and sustaining favorable combustion while suppressing the exhaust of HC and NOx.

8. The combustion chamber for internal combustion engines according to claim 1, wherein said thermal insulation member is formed from a ceramic material.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to a combustion chamber for internal combustion engines. More specifically, it involves arrangements for internal combustion engine combustion chambers by which not only high fuel economy and high poweroutput are both obtained by controlling the amount of fuel film to be formed adhering onto the inner wall of the combustion chamber, but also white exhaust fumes and NOx are decreased.
2. Background Art
Among diesel engine designs that attempt to achieve high efficiency combustion by directly injecting fuel into a combustion chamber, there are the so-called MAN-M type engines, shown in FIG. 3, and the multi-jet type diesel engines, shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 of the drawings hereof.
In the MAN-M type engines, as shown in FIG. 3, while swirl (S) is generated in the combustion chamber (b), which is recessed deep in the piston head part (a) forming a spherical cavity, fuel mist (F.sub.1) is injected thereinto from the fuelnozzle (c) so as the adhere to the combustion chamber (b) in the form of fuel film. The wall evaporation rate of the fuel film is then controlled by the swirl (S).
Thus, the MAN-M method promotes mixing of air and fuel and combustion thereof by collecting the fuel as it evaporates in the outside of the swirl (S), and is capable of lowering the combustion temperature, thereby achieving low emissions of NOxand noise. However, this method is unsatisfactory because under cold-starting conditions or when idling the engine at very cold temperatures, large amounts of bluish-white fumes and HC (hydrocarbons) are exhausted, since under such conditions, favorablewall evaporation is not attainable because the temperatures of the combustion chamber (b) wall and the combustion air are both low.
This is because: (1) the combustion chamber is not quickly heated to a temperature that will allow the fuel to evaporate and be ignited and, (2) the fuel mist, which has strong penetration due to the sole nozzle hole, further lowers thecombustion chamber wall temperature to greatly limit the ability of the fuel to evaporate. Consequently, the amount of evaporated fuel is insufficient compared to the volume of the combusion chamber, and as the evaporated fuel is stirred by the swirl(S), the concentration of the air-fuel mixture gas (referred to as "mixture gas" hereinafter) within the combustion chamber becomes excessively lean, thereby aggravating combustion.
In the combustion chamber of the multi-jet type diesel engine shown in FIG. 4, on the other hand, nozzle holes (g) of the fuel injection nozzle (c.sub.1) are disposed in the combustion chamber (b.sub.1 ) of piston head part (a) so as torespectively face the inner walls (e), which are arranged so as to divide the circumference of the combustion chamber (b.sub.1) more or less equally.
The arrangement shown in FIG. 4 attempts to attain combustion of high output and low fuel consumption rate by creating a premixed gas having good ignitability and combustibility by uniformly dispersing the fuel mist in the combustion chamber(b.sub.1). However, this method is not entirely satisfactory, in that because the penetration of fuel mist for a given strength of swirl becomes weaker as the number of the nozzle holes increases, most of the fuel mist is mixed with that part of the airwhich is distributed in the force flow (D) of the swirl (S), namely the air present in the vicinity of the center of the combustion chamber (b.sub.1), resulting in the formation of a rich premixed gas in that locality. This happens because the swirl (S)tends to converge toward center, away from the peripheral walls of combustion chamber (b.sub.1) because of the relative configuration of the diameter of the cylinder (not shown) and the diameter of the opening of the combustion chamber (b.sub.1). Therefore, the combustion mode is such that ignition takes place in the vicinity of the combustion chabmer (b.sub.1) center, from which fire propagates rapidly.
Although this is advantageous in terms of the power output and the fuel economy, a problem still remains in that the rapid rise both in the combustion peak temperature and the cylinder pressure gives rise to an increase in NOx and combustionnoise.
In the multi-jet type diesel engine combustion chamber (disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid Open No. 41229/82), shown in FIG. 5, a fuel injection nozzle (c.sub.2) is disposed so as to eccentrically face the center of the combustion chamber(b.sub.2) , with its plural nozzle holes (g1) so disposed that each of the nozzle holes (g1) faces an inner wall (e.sub.1) of combustion chamber (b.sub.2), and a low thermal conductivity material (h) is attached to that part of the wall (e.sub.1) whichis on the closer side in terms of the distance between the nozzle hole (g1) and the wall (e1).
The arrangement of FIG. 5 described above provides fuel mist to the inner wall of the eccentric side thereof by eccentrically disposing the fuel injection nozzle with regard to the combustion chamber center, and at the same time evaporates thatfuel mist by the low thermal conductivity member (h).
Thus, in the arrangement of FIG. 5, premixed gas is formed at both the inner side and the outer of the swirl (S), but a problem exists in that, owing to the eccentrically oriented injection direction, the fuel mist from the nozzle hole located atthe opposite side of the eccentricity has to travel longer, resulitng in weakened penetration, so that most of that fuel mist is distributed and vaporized in the inner side of the swirl or the central area of the combustion chamber (b2). This means thatricher premixed gas is generated in the vicinity of the combustion chamber center as in the case of the arrangement of FIG. 4.
In yet another proposed arrangement, the combustion chamber inner wall is wholly covered with the aformentioned low thermal conductivity member so as to improve adiabatic efficiency. Such an arrangement is not favored, however, because itcreates other problems. For example, the intake air is inordinately heated up due to the improved adiabatic character, and this results in either decreased suction efficiency, or the fuel is untimely ignited before it is gasified to form a propermixture gas.
The object of the present invention is to provide a combustion chamber for internal combustion engines which is capable of attaining the following goals:
(1) to improve output performance and fuel consumption under all load conditions including the starting up of an engine; and
(2) to carry out fuel evaporation and combustion while suppressing the generation of unburnt matters, such as HC and white smoke, and combustion noises and vibrations.
The aforementioned goals are attained through the following construction. In the top portion of the piston, there is provided a combustion chamber in a form of cavity recessed in the axial direction with the piston head surface as a referenceplane. In such combustion chamber, there is disposed a fuel injection nozzle means, which is oriented eccentrically with regard to the axis of the combustion chamber, and which is equipped with a plural number of nozzle holes. Each of the nozzle holesis capable of atomizing and injecting the fuel, and not only faces the downstream of the swirl but is so oriented in such direction as to flow the injected fuel mist along the inner wall of the aforesaid combustion chamber.
To describe the effects achieved by this arrangement, first, each of the fuel mists thus supplied atomized by each of the plural nozzle holes of the fuel injection nozzle means is in part further pulverized upon colliding with the combustionchamber inner wall and is evaporated instantaneously. In the meantime, the rest of the fuel mist forms a fuel film of uniform thickness that spreads itself over a wide range while flowing along the combustion chamber inner wall in the direction of theswirl as well as in the depth direction of the combustion chamber.
This fuel film is quickly evaporated from its outer surface by the heat of the compressed air and the heat of the inner wall. The fuel vapor thus generated is burned as it is mixed with air in the outside of the mainstream of the swirl (called"swirl's natural flow" hereinafter), evaporation of the fuel film is promoted upon this combustion, and combustion takes place by flame propagation.
That is to say, unlike in the conventional arrangement where the fuel is distributed in the swirl's natural flow area and on the combustion chamber wall as a consequence of the provision of only one nozzle hole, the fuel is distributed in theform of mist or vapor, positively in the swirl's natural flow area by providing multiple nozzle holes so as to increase the injection rate and to prevent the fuel mist from passing through the swirl's forced flow. Owing to this arrangement, a combustionthat ensures superior power output and fuel economy while suppressing the production of white fumes, NOx, and the HC is achieved.
FIG. 1 is a schematic vertical sectional view showing a preferred embodiment of the combustion for internal combustion engines of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a plan view illustrating the MAN-M type engine combustion chamber;
FIG. 4 is a plan view illustrating the multi-jet type diesel engine combustion chamber of the prior art; and
FIG. 5 is a vertical section view illustrating the multiple-jet type diesel engine combustion chamber according to the prior art.
A preferred embodiment of the combustion chamber for internal combustion engines of this invention will now be described with reference to the attached drawings.
In FIG. 1, the numeral 1 denotes the cylinder head, and 2 the piston. As shown in the figure, in the piston head portion 3 of the piston 2, there is formed a combustion chamber 4 recessed deep in the axial direction with the top surface of thepiston head 3 as a reference plane, in a manner such that a vertical section of the combustion chamber 4 is a circle truncated both at the top and the bottom ends. As a consequence thereof, there is formed a lip member 5 at the top opening of thecombustion chamber 4 in such a way that it appropriately protrudes radially and inwardly along the periphery of such opening.
It should be mentioned again here that the objectives of this invention are to attain high efficiency combustion with regard to power output and fuel economy while suppressing generation of HC, bluish-white fumes, and NOx for all load conditionsincluding starting up of the engine. To achieve these objectives, a thermal insulation member means 6 and a fuel injection nozzle means 7 are provided in the aformentioned combustion chamber 4, in the following relationship.
The fuel injection nozzle means 7 is constructed in such a manner as to contain in its nozzle body 8 a needle valve (not shown), which is capable of free up-and-down motion with respect to the valve seat (not shown) provided in nozzle body 8, andso as to form at the tip of the body 8 a plurality of nozzle holes (9a, 9b, 9c, 9d) which are opened as the needle valve is lifted.
Each of the nozzle holes 9a-9d is disposed so as to face the inner wall 4a of the combustion chamber 4, with each of the nozzle holes 9a-9d facing the downstream of swirl S at given intervals as well as facing the combustion chamber depth atgiven intervals. Here, not only the nozzle holes 9a-9d are disposed so that their distances to the inner wall 4a are approximately equal, but their diameters are set so that the diameter of the nozzle hole 9a that faces the topmost portion of the innerwall 4a is the smallest, with the diameters of other jet nozzles 9b-9d being progressively larger in the depth direction.
As a result of the foregoing arrangement, the fuel mist f.sub.1 -f.sub.4 that are injected respectively from nozzle holes 9a-9d so as to impinge upon the inner wall 4a of the combustion chamber 4 are further pulverized by collision, and in themeantime form uniform thickness fuel films of differing diffusion areas in accordance with the diameters of the injection nozzle holes 9a-9d; the larger the jet nozzle diameter, the larger the diffusion area. Thus, these fuel films flow, wideningthemselves in the direction of swirl as well as in the direction of depth.
As a consequence thereof, these fuel films are each formed on the inner wall 4a, adhering thereonto, covering it widely and uniformly thickness-wise, so that the inner wall 4a is protected from being excessively cooled by evaporation of the fueland is maintained at a temperature above the designated temperature.
With regard to the thermal insulation layer member 6 that is provided to stabilize the temperatures of the inner walls 4a facing the nozzle holes 9a-9d, such layer 6 is formed integrally with the inner walls 4a, and has an area that is largeenough with a sufficient margin to cover the area of the fuel film, which is formed following the collision of the fuel mists f.sub.1 -f.sub.4 coming from the nozzle holes 9a-9d, widening itself in the directions of swirl S and of the combustion chamberdepth.
Though a ceramic material is used in this embodiment, any material having a heat-resistive, corrosion-resistive, and high thermal insulation property may be used. The thermal insulation layer 6 may be formed by press forming a strip so it isadapted to the shape of the combustion chamber 4 and then soldering, welding, or cast-inserting it to the inner wall 4a, or layering it up into the desired form by a spray coating method.
The function of the internal combustion engine combustion chamber of this invention will now be described with reference to the attached drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the high temperature compressed air generated by compression of piston 2 quickly heats up the thermal insulation layer member 6 to a temperature above the fuel evaporation temperature, even when starting the engine in avery cold environment. Therefore, the fuel mists f.sub.1 -f.sub.4 that are injected toward the insulation layer member 6 from nozzle holes 9a-9d of the fuel injection nozzle means 7 are in part further pulverized upon collision with the insulation layermember 6 and evaporates while flowing toward the downstream and outside of swirl S.sub.1, namely into the natural flow S.sub.2 of the swirl. In the meantime, the rest of the fuel mists f.sub.1 -f.sub.4 adheres on the combustion chamber inner wall 4a inthe form of a fuel film that wall-evaporates while flowing toward the direction of swirl S downstream and of combustion chamber 4 depth. As the travel distances of fuel mists f.sub.1 -f.sub.4 are set approximately equal to each other, furthermore, thediffusion area of each fuel mist is proportional to the diameter of the nozzle hole from which it was injected, so that the fuel film is formed narrower in the upper part of the combustion chamber 4, widening in the direction of depth thereof.
Therefore, each fuel film in the combustion chamber 4 is vaporized quickly from its outer surface by the heat of the thermal insulation layer member 6 and of the compressed air, and is ignited and burned upon mixing with air together withaforesaid part of the fuel which has been pulverized and evaporated, while flowing on the swirl natural flow S.sub.2 in the swirl downstream direction.
As the combustion energy thus liberated promotes the evaporation of the fuel film, moreover, the evaporated fuel is to spread gradually and steadily outside the swirl (the swirl's natural flow S2), and combustion is performed gradually. Therefore, not only a comparatively fast combustion of good power output and fuel economy accompanied by low NOx and low noises as compared with those of the conventional MAN-M type engines is realized, but effective wall evaporation and combustion isensured wile suppressing exhaust of white smoke and HC, even when starting up the engine in a cold environment, because the temperature of the inner walls of combustion chamber 4 is not substantially lowered by the colliding fuel mists.

You aced the interview and signed on the dotted line to start your new job. You've read and re-read the job description and you're confident you know exactly what the job entails. Take one more important step before you establish your new daily routine: Meet with your new boss. She's the one who's going to be writing your performance review, so it's essential to ensure your understanding of the job's duties and responsibilities matches hers. The sooner you meet with her, the better, to help you get started on the right track.
Request the Meeting
Your new boss probably will schedule the obligatory meet and greet in your first days on the job, but this often amounts to little more than "welcome to the job" and "we're glad to have you on board." Impress him by taking the initiative and asking for time on his schedule to discuss his expectations and requirements and learning exactly what he thinks your priorities should be.
Be Prepared
Review your position description before meeting with your boss. Compare it to the performance standards against which you'll be evaluated. If you're lucky, both these documents are written in some semblance of priority order, giving you a firm idea about which of your duties is most important. Other times, it won't be readily apparent from the job description, increasing the importance of learning directly from your boss about her priorities and expectations. Jot down questions about specific performance elements so you don't forget to ask her for clarification.
Listen and Learn
When you meet with your boss, explain you want to go over the specifics of your job to ensure you're doing what he wants done, when he wants it done, in the way he wants it done. If one of your duties is to "maintain good customer relations," ask whether sending customers an occasional email to make sure things are on track enough, or whether his understanding of that involves taking them to lunch or visiting them on site every week counts. You might think "provide boss with regular status reports" means sticking your head in the door on the way out on Friday telling him everything's fine, but if he's expecting a formal weekly memo outlining each of your major projects, he's going to be unhappy with you pretty quickly.
"Other Duties as Required"
When you've gotten clarification on what she's looking for from you, don't assume you're good to go. Most job descriptions contain some version of the nebulous, catch-all category that basically means "and whatever else I decide I want you to do." This can include anything from helping with the annual report to setting up client lunches to babysitting her dog. Get a clear picture of what this means to her so you're not caught off guard when these "additional duties" land on your desk.

It become possible creating building automation systems with enhanced control abilities, using the latest wireless communication standards. The results are imperssive especially in the field of lighting control, providing reductions up to 70% in lighting energy consumption for buildings. ZigBee is one of the leading technologies among the wireless communication standards, providing low energy consumption, low data rate and complexity. In my thesis I describe the conception and implementation of an automated system applying ZigBee technology for communication. The purpose of this system is to be able to monitor the environment and control the electrical equipment of a building focusing the lighting. The system utilize grapical user interface for monitoring and control. Furthermore the acquired experiences during the development of the hardver and software system can contribute to achive the realization of an intelligent building management system.

CHAMBERSBURG, PA. -- The Chambersburg Police Department on Tuesday obtained a warrant charging Juan R. Johnson with criminal homicide in the death of a man found dead in a stolen vehicle in Harrisburg, Pa., over the weekend.
Police are looking for Johnson, 24, no fixed address, who earlier had been charged with stealing the 2000 Ford Excursion in which the body of Gregory J. Street was found Saturday morning. Street was awaiting trial on firearms charges in Franklin County and had assault convictions in South Carolina, according to court records.
Street, 24, of 308 E. Washington St., last was seen alive in the vehicle with a man the owner identified as "Juan," police said. Shelby Flythe, also of 308 E. Washington St., told police she was Street's girlfriend and that she had parked across the street from her home about 4:30 p.m. to go inside and use the bathroom.
Flythe left the vehicle running with Streets in the front passenger seat and "Juan" sitting behind him, police said.

If this is the first time you're visiting my website or the first time on this page, I have been living in the Philippine western Visayas (since 2014) helping disadvantaged kids in a small fishing community deeply affected by poverty and seasonal typhoons.
Then in mid-2015, a little boy arrived into my life quite by accident. When his father died last August (2016) leaving him orphaned, I immediately realised I needed to legally adopt him and give him a family.
I'm a freelance copywriter and blogger and use the money I earn as a professional writer to provide school supplies, lunches and uniforms to disadvantaged kids living in this small community. My goal is to one day operate a dedicated creative learning centre for disadvantaged children as well as become Jerry's legal mother. Maybe you would like to help me realise my dream?

Thank you
There have been so many people who have helped me out in so many different ways since I first arrived in the Philippines. A big thanks to my family (especially my parents), friends and people I have never met who helped. Thanks also to the businesses who supported the projects. Finally a big thanks to my Uncle Richard A. Ward who spends his retirement tirelessly selling stamps and family curios to fund the projects here.

The fact of the matter is, the Red Wings shouldn't feel that bad about the loss. While there were some moments when they got out worked or out played, whenever that happened they worked hard to even the tilt and even push the momentum back in their favor. They skated hard, they back checked well - hell I think I even saw Johan Franzen back check on someone and make a play in the third period. The lackluster Red Wing power play went 2 for 8 attempts (25%) which is a better percentage than they had in the regular season. However, they couldn't capitalize on the 5 on 3 opportunity, much to my chagrin. On the flip side of special teams, their improving penalty kill looked EXCELLENT. They killed of every PP opportunity that the best regular season PP got, including their own 5 on 3. Jonathan Ericsson came up big, Drew Miller was dominant again on the PK, and Darren Helm wa...
Jesus Christ I hope Darren Helm is okay. Before the game, I had said to people and I felt it in my heart, that I didn't want Dirty Darren Helm to rush back to the playoffs. I didn't want him to get hurt again. I know the two injuries have nothing to do with one another, what with one being his knee and the other being his wrist, but I just felt like it was going to happen. I don't want to say the Wings' deep playoff hopes rest with Darren Helm but...fuck. And of course, after I started writing this, I find out that while he'll be okay, he won't be back in the playoffs. FUCK!
My only major complaint about the Wings last night is their offensive strategy, including their power play strategy. I know this sounds really weird complaining about a 25% power play in the playoffs immediately after praising them for it, but hear me out. The Detroit Red Wings have got to knock off this perimeter/corner crap and get somebody in the slot when they are in the zone, especially on the power play. The rest of the league knows that if they let us, the Wings will just dick around with the puck out at the points, or in the corners, and throw easily blocked shots from the point or low success rate shots from the sides, which the opponent can quickly scoop up and move out. Or, in the case of a power play, just force the Red Wings to kill the penalty for them.
|Putting somebody in the slot means the defenders can't easily keep the puck to the sides and points. It forces them to respect a play to the middle and spread them out. It means less crap shots from the points and sharp angles.
While Pekke Rinne was the better goaltender last night, there wasn't a massive gulf between him and Jimmy Howard in terms of how well they played. It was more like a small river between them. Both had big saves to keep their teams alive, both were solid in net the entire game. Jimmy looked like goaltender that he was up to the All-Star break: An All-star goaltender who was leading the league in wins, and was atop the statistics that every goalie wants to be atop of, and was only derailed because of a broken finger and an ailing crotch. Rinne looked like the Vezina trophy contender who steals games.
But, if you take away a fluky goal off Brad Stuart's skate, and a fluky goal that deflected on its way to the net (that honestly Howard should have stopped anyway, but point is, it was a fluky deflection) then Nashville only has one goal that was the product of good play on their behalf and/or bad play on Detroit's behalf. Conversely, Henrik #Zetterbeard and Justin Abdelkader had chances that should have gone in. But didn't because Nashville was just lucky. Just obnoxiously lucky. So flip the luck and Detroit wins this game 4-1 on those merits alone. Hell, even if you give them the 2nd goal back because Howard could have saved it, Detroit still wins 4-2.
The fact of the matter is, when it comes down to it, this was a mostly even match game where the Red Wings lived up to expectations and the Predators did not. The Predators got by on lucky bounces and the Wings couldn't beat bad luck and TFRs to come out with a win.
Awards and TFRs Analysis After the Break:
Time for the Awards Segment of Our Show:
The Bret Lebda Game Puck: The referees. Because while there may have been mistakes here and there, there weren't any that I can point to and say "This guy screwed up a lot". For more on my decision, check after the awards.
The Kris Draper Game Puck: Justin Abdelkader. I thought he had a really strong game and is maybe going to bring some of that Abdelkader playoff magic we've seen in the past. He had a great drive the net moment that should have resulted in a goal, and I'd like to see him take it to the next level in upcoming games.
The Derian Hatcher Game Puck: Brad Stuart, although I have to admit much of this is out of his control. I just have a hard time feeling like I want to keep the guy around when he's either making major mistakes, or bad luck is happening off his stick or skates. It's frustrating. I will give him credit that he was a lead checker in game 1. So less screwing up and more body checking people.
Okay...about the fucking refs last night. To say that Chris Rooney and Brad Meier blew more donkey dick than a college girl on spring break in Tijuana is a greater statement of the obvious than saying Shea Weber is a giant douche. Because Shea Weber is both large in size and excellent at cleaning out someone's asshole prior to anal sex.
And yes, Chris Rooney and Brad Meier are the actual names of the actual referees last night, and I want you to know their names. I want their to be names to that God awful show of officiating, so these nameless ass clowns can't slip away into obscurity.
It wasn't the number of penalties I object to. I have no problem with referees calling a lot of penalties when a lot of penalties are committed. But how is it that two of the least penalized teams in the regular season are assessed 16 penalties during actual play time (17 if you count Shea Weber's douche penalty after time expired). Roughly 32 minutes of penalty time - less than that due to goals being scored and such - over the course of the game. That means approximately half of the game was played on special teams - 5 on 4, 5 on 3, or 4 on 4. How is that even possible?
How is Gabriel Borque allowed to stay in the game and get two goals after boarding Ian White? What, because Ian White managed to get up and get up quickly? Sorry that he didn't get hurt on the play, Chris Rooney and Brad Meier, but if your mission was to call penalties to dissuade both teams from committing penalties, then why is Borque still sitting on the bench? How is that possible?
|Pictured: An OBVIOUS dive by Jarret Stoll.
And if you're going to call embellishing a play to bring notice and sympathy to something that is actually a penalty, then last night's game aside, you have to put the entirety of the NHL in the penalty box for all 60 minutes. If Johan Frazen giving someone a bit of a shot in front of the net after the play because he's defending himself is roughing, then why isn't every play made against Tomas Holmstrom called? The Red Wings should have been on a permanent power play if getting slightly upset and scrapping with someone in front of the net is the standard for "roughing" in the NHL's playoff.
And besides just the shit calls - and the Red Wings got power plays off weak calls, too. I'm not saying they didn't, it's just as a Red Wings fan/blogger, it's my prerogative to write from their perspective, plus you also have to admit the Wings got screwed more often by bad calls last night - the feverish, angry, blood thirsty, intrastate feud game between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia (two teams with known goons and/or divers) had 1/4 of the penalty minutes of the Wings/Predators game. Philadelphia was the most penalized team in the league this year, with 100+ penalty minutes more than the Red Wings or the Predators. Pittsburgh had about 50 more PIM. Yet those two teams get a fraction of the calls in a huge game 1 between those two teams? How is that possible?
But my worst fears? First, that instead of correcting the mistakes, punishing these terrible refs, and having a reasonably called series, the NHL is going to blow it off. Shea Weber won't be fined or suspended for trying to crush Zetterbeard's head into the boards, and the refs won't be replaced. Moreover, Game 2 in Nashville is going to be the complete opposite, where the Nashville Predators will be allowed to lumberjack chop down Detroit players and Clod Barfluzzie will be allowed to do to Martin Erat what he did to Steve Moore and get a stern talking to by either Chris Rooney or Brad Meier. Instead of having a game that is called right, they'll drastically over-react to the criticism and just not call anything ever in game two.
Secondly, that what would have otherwise been a great, physical, hard fought hockey game. A close game between two teams that were evenly matched and played about as well as each other for most of the game, was ruined because of crap officiating on both sides. If the Red Wings play like they did last night the entire series, and the Predators play slightly better, and win the series, I can live with that. I won't be happy, but I can live with that. If this series is decided by shitty officiating and lucky ass bounces going towards Nashville's favor, I will murder someone.
If we win for those same reasons, I'll feel the same way I feel after watching a Red Wings game on NBC Sports: dirty, used and slightly dumber. But I'll take it. Let's Go Red Wings

Comparing the size of his pool to Kanye West's, Drake caused a stir by rapping, "Ye's pool is nice, mine's just big is what I'm saying" on Summer Sixteen. West responded to Drake by reportedly building a lake-sized pool in his backyard.
Yet despite the pool-based sparring of Drake and West, the two rappers' pools pale in comparison to the ones found in places like Sharm el Sheik, Egypt and San Alfonso del Mar, Chile, where two of the ten largest swimming pools in the world are located.
How large are these swimming pools? Well, scroll through to find out, and perhaps while you're at it, start planning your next vacation to visit one of these gigantic pools.
Citystars Sharm el Sheik
Located in an Egyptian resort town, the crystalline lagoon at Citystars Sharm el Sheik currently holds the Guinness World Record for the largest man-made body of water with an official measurement of 23.9 acres. Technically, it's the "largest crystalline lagoon," since it mimics a natural body of water, but maybe that's even more impressive.
Amazingly, the pool was constructed in the middle of the Sinai desert and is just three miles from the Egyptian coast. If building a massive pool so close to the actual sea seems excessive, that may be the least extravagant aspect of the Citystars' lagoon at it also cost $5.5 million to be built and takes several weeks to be filled with salt water. See travel options.
San Alfonso del Mar, Chile
Roughly the size of 6,000 backyard pools and officially measured at nearly 20 acres and 66 million gallons of water, the San Alfonso del Mar was built by the same company as the Citystars lagoon, which is why they share similarities (although this pool has a more traditional construction). Similar to the Citystars lagoon, the San Alfonso del Mar is filled with salt water and was built in close proximity to an actual beach. The salt water in the San Alfonso del Mar is constantly regulated, so it's always warmer than the nearby sea. See travel options.
MahaSamutr, Thailand
Centrally located in an exclusive and luxurious country club, the 17-acre pool at MahaSamutr (translated as "the ocean") is unique not just because of its size. MahamSamutr acts like a personal mini-sea for members of the country club as it can be used like a traditional beach, but also for water sports like kayaking, paddleboarding and even sailing. It also has large villa-filled island in the middle, connect to the "mainland" by a road. See travel options.
Las Brisas, Chile
Part of the Las Brisas luxury condominium complex, the five-acre saltwater pool may seem diminutive compared to the other ones already listed, but it's roughly the same size as 16 Olympic-sized swimming pools. Like the other much larger pools, the Las Brisas pool overlooks the Pacific Ocean and its sparkling blueness often is a more brilliant hue of blue compared to the real thing, which is located just a stone's throw away.
Laguna Bahia, Chile
Spanning over 150,000 square feet and measuring close to 3.5 acres, the pool at the luxurious Laguna Bahia is big enough for a variety of water sports like kayaking and even windsurfing. The pool has a dedicated shallow area for children and a lengthy beach that offers ample room for lounging.
Dreamworld Fun Lagoon, Pakistan
With a name like Dreamworld, it shouldn't be surprising to learn that the world's largest freshwater swimming pool is located at the aptly named resort and theme park. At about two acres, the Fun Lagoon contains approximately two million gallons of local well water and offers water-themed activities like rowing boats, swings and inflatable slides. See travel options.
Hayman Island Resort Pool, Australia
Thanks to a massive renovation, the Hayman Island Resort pool, just off the Great Barrier Reef, is the size of seven Olympic swimming pools put together, and is actually a giant saltwater pool surrounding a freshwater pool (with a bar area, of course). The resort says that it's the largest pool in the southern hemisphere: We're not totally convinced that's true, but it certainly is impressive either way.
Piscine Alfred Nakache, France
Featuring Art Deco architecture, the Piscine Alfred Nakache was built in the 1950s, which makes it one of the oldest pool complexes still in use in the world. Despite its age, the pool complex offers visitors about 1.8 acres of water to swim in as there are both outdoor and indoor pools.
Hansen Dam Recreation Center, California
Located in Los Angeles, the 1.5 acre swimming lake at the Hansen Dam Recreation Center has two waterslides and is just five feet deep across its entirety. The pool is located right next to an actual lake that is no longer suitable for swimming, so its referred to as a "swim lake" since it simulates the lake with sandy areas and is large enough to hold 3,000 swimmers at once.
Marina Sands Skypark, Singapore
Spanning the length of three Olympic swimming pools, the pool at Markina Sands Skypark is located 57 stories above ground, which means it offers impressive city views of Singapore. Since it's located so high up, it's the world's largest rooftop infinity pool in the world.

Bright sunlight is not the easiest light to use for photographs.
These poppies were mostly in the shade, which made them a bit easier to capture.
Iris. The bouquet I bought at the farmers' market on the 28th was of iris very similar to these, with a lovely grapey smell. Unfortunately I didn't get their pic while they were lovely (they fade fast).

Well you should use comicrn /completed download handling (not both obviously), as you'll get better results with either.
Completed Download Handling (CDH) is just a checkbox on the nzbget section within Mylar. Enable it, and that's it.
Both comicrn and CDH have the benefit of not having to specify whee the final comic is to be post-processed from as the client tells both exactly where it is.
You also have to make sure that if your using a newer version of autoProcessComics.py, that you autoProcessComics.cfg is also the correct version (meaning aPC 2.x has apikey, 1.x has user/pass) and that it contains the relevant information.

Re: NZBGet module issue
I was finally able to get the old one working again. I tried to get the new comicrn and built-in handler working, but with no luck. I know you say you may need to depreciate the old one eventually, so I guess I'll loop back with you then. For now, thanks again for the great attention. I'll re-try some of these steps again first should that day come.
In the meantime, I'll send along another donation. When things are working (which is the majority of the time), it more than pays for itself in what it saves me in time.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Ariba is fighting off the negative effects of a Gartner report that says the company is in trouble and ripe for acquisition.
The Gartner report, obtained by CBS.MarketWatch.com, is titled "Ariba on Problem Watch." It essentially concludes that the electronic-procurement software company is in trouble and could be acquired by the fourth quarter of 2002.
The report, which has not yet been released, was first mentioned Friday in a Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown analyst note, sending shares of Ariba ARBA as low as $5.83.
Ariba quickly dismissed the report.
"The Gartner report is factually incorrect," said Catherine Peterson, an Ariba spokesperson. "The analyst draws conclusions without even evaluating our current strategy, products and pricing strategies," Peterson said.
Gartner points
Gartner analyst David Hope-Ross, the author of the report, writes that Ariba's electronic marketplace investment has slowed to a crawl.
Hope-Ross also says Ariba's e-procurement product has "slipped in stature from its days in the business-to-business limelight to being an offering of questionable value."
Ariba benefited for "over 2 years from the initial e-procurement euphoria," Hope-Ross writes, "but the e-procurement market and Ariba's position in it are now being re-evaluated based on three realities:"
- Ariba's mainstay is the e-procurement product, which eventually could not be sold alone and would need to be bundled with other products.
- The Ariba platform is "not the de facto standard for marketplace development and B2B commerce applications."
- Ariba has not been able to expand beyond its expertise.
Ariba's responses
On its slowing investment in electronic marketplaces, Ariba says its marketplace product had never been more than 10 percent of revenue.
On questions about the future of its e-procurement products, Ariba's Peterson said, "We have many customers, including Cisco, Sony and FedEx, who would dispute this."
Peterson also said the author "doesn't have a full understanding of our e-commerce offering, which includes sourcing, procurement and network."
E-procurement accounts for between 70 percent and 80 percent of the $90 million in revenue Ariba generated in the most recent quarter. Its sourcing-software product, which enables buyers to source their suppliers, accounts for less than 10 percent of revenue. It's likely to remain about 10 percent for the remainder of the year.
Moreover, Ariba said it is not seeing pricing pressure.
Hints of the report first came out on Friday, when Deutsche Banc Alex. Brown analyst Jim Moore told his clients that the Gartner report predicts that standalone e-procurement companies would not exist by 2004.
This was hardly fresh news. Even the Gartner analyst said he'd written these same comments in three separate reports lately.
But Hope-Ross does provide a short list of candidates he believes could be potential suitors. The likely candidates are IBM IBM, -0.50% for integration with Websphere; PeopleSoft PSFT, -8.70% which has an e-procurement product but would benefit from buying Ariba's customer base; and J.D. Edwards, which has no native e-procurement capabilities and already partners with Ariba. Other likely candidates include Siebel Systems SEBL And Computer Associates is "famous for acquiring companies down on their luck," according to Hope-Ross.

To me, Skitch is another one of those must-have apps. It's made by the same developers as Evernote (an app I've not yet taken the time to appreciate) and is a simple annotation tool with handy features. There are options to create accounts and save work, but for my busy Year 4s, the simple 'sign-up later' option works just great!
With Skitch you can start off with a blank screen, a photo, a map or web screenshot. Onto that can be added pen-drawn marks, highlighting, simple shapes, a small range of stickers, text or arrows. I've used it in a couple of ways as you can see below. Firstly for annotating the key features of a text type (in this case a wedding invite). Secondly in a maths lesson, where children had to attempt to catch all 15 of a particular (differentiated) type of decimal dragon, and describe its place value, partition it and round it. What I especially liked about this was the ability to type each of the 'tasks' in a different colour.
What's good about it
– it's free
– it's easy to use – the small number of options here is a benefit, as sometimes a wide range of options can be distracting for children
– it's easy to save pictures created to the camera roll
– you can take pictures from within the app
– you can 'AirPlay' your annotations via Apple TV etc directly from the app, without having to double click the home button etc
What could be better
– a wider range of colours (sort of contradicts what I said above, but there are only 8)
– drawing one colour over another is tricky, as the app tries to move previous marks rather than draw over them. Then again, it's not a drawing app.
– an 'open in another app' option (to make sharing work to Showbie, Dropbox etc even easier)
Highly recommended.

Most people think that painting the interior or exterior of your home is a relatively easy project anyone can complete.
Just what can you expect when hiring a professional painter? What are the advantages over attempting the project yourself? Here are 6 benefits you can expect when hiring a painting company:
Find your style
A professional painter will have a good idea of what colors work best together and in what settings. Most importantly they can help you to achieve the style you are looking for.
If you are unsure what color or style to go with, a professional painter can help you to make that decision.
Improved safety
Professional painters have the equipment and knowledge to safely execute house painting projects of any size.
The work is insured
One of the biggest advantages of hiring a professional is that should anything go wrong, you will be covered. Most reputable painting companies have insurance which will protect against any unexpected problems.
Faster job, less hassle
Homeowners might have the will to complete their painting project quickly but the reality is that life gets in the way and it ends up taking weeks if not months to paint the inside or outside of your home. Hiring a professional will almost always mean the job is completed within a matter of days, saving you the stress and hassle of doing it yourself.
Right tools for the job
Many homeowners think that painting the inside or outside of their home themselves will save them money. However, if you do not already have the equipment to hand, the cost of getting the materials required to start your paint project can soon add up. Professional painters have the equipment and experience needed to complete the job right the first time around. This goes beyond simply applying the paint, taking measures to ensure that the paint job lasts.
Best possible finish
Professional painters have many years of experience that allow them to provide the best possible finish for your home. An experienced painter will make sure that walls are sanded and smoothed before application, removing any imperfections and also taking into consideration factors such as mold resistance and durability of the paint used. House painters have access to the best materials to give that professional finish which can be hard to achieve without specialist knowledge.

Filta lets you search Twitter users you follow
If you've ever wanted to look up the Twitter accounts you follow to find users who are interested in a particular topic or are located in a certain city, Filta is up to the task.
It's a neat idea that Twitter should've thought of first. Until then, Filta's simple app does what it says on the box fairly well.
It's useful for when you're traveling to a new city and want to meet up with people there, or if you're looking to hire people of a specific discipline. Although not remotely as flexible, it's kind of like Facebook's Graph Search, which I use to look up friends in other cities when planning a trip.
Unfortunately, Filta doesn't search people who follow you, the way SocialRank does. That's very useful indeed — if a user is already familiar with your profile, it's easier to introduce yourself, whether you want to get a beer or work together.
Hopefully this feature will come to Filta soon. There are paid apps like Tweepi that include this function, but Filta is free and easier to navigate when you just want to look up people you follow.
