enalapril (cont.)
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking enalapril (Vasotec)?
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to enalapril or to any other ACE inhibitor, such as benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), moexipril (Univasc), perindopril (Aceon), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), or trandolapril (Mavik).
If you have any of these other conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take enalapril:
FDA pregnancy category D. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy. Enalapril could cause birth defects in the baby if you take the medication during pregnancy. Use an effective form of birth control. Stop using this medication and tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment.
Enalapril can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I take enalapril (Vasotec)?
Take this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results from this medication.
Take each dose with a full glass of water.
Enalapril can be taken with or without food.
Vomiting, diarrhea, or heavy sweating can cause you to become dehydrated. This can lead to very low blood pressure, electrolyte disorders, or kidney failure while you are taking enalapril. Drink plenty of water each while you are taking this medication.
To be sure this medication is helping your condition, your blood pressure will need to be checked on a regular basis. Your kidney or liver function may also need to be tested. Do not miss any scheduled visits to your doctor.
If you need to have any type of surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are taking enalapril. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using this medication even if you feel fine. High blood pressure often has no symptoms.

Quinine (US /ˈkwaɪnaɪn/, UK /ˈkwɪniːn/ or /kwɪˈniːn/ KWIN-een) is a natural white crystalline alkaloid having antipyretic (fever-reducing), antimalarial, analgesic (painkilling), and anti-inflammatory properties and a bitter taste. It is a stereoisomer of quinidine, which, unlike quinine, is an antiarrhythmic. Quinine contains two major fused-ring systems: the aromatic quinoline and the bicyclic quinuclidine.
Quinine occurs naturally in the bark of the cinchona tree, though it has also been synthesized in the laboratory. The medicinal properties of the cinchona tree were originally discovered by the Quechua, who are indigenous to Peru and Bolivia; later, the Jesuits were the first to bring cinchona to Europe.
Quinine was the first effective treatment for malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, appearing in therapeutics in the 17th century. It remained the antimalarial drug of choice until the 1940s, when other drugs such as chloroquine that have fewer unpleasant side effects replaced it. Since then, many effective antimalarials have been introduced, although quinine is still used to treat the disease in certain critical circumstances, such as severe malaria, and in impoverished regions due to its low cost. Quinine is available with a prescription in the United States and over-the-counter, in minute quantities, in tonic water. Quinine is also used to treat lupus and arthritis. Quinine was also frequently prescribed in the US as an off-label treatment for nocturnal leg cramps, but this has become less prevalent due to a Food and Drug Administration statement warning against the practice.[2]
Quinine is highly fluorescent (quantum yield ~0.58) in 0.1 M sulfuric acid solution and it is widely used as a standard for fluorescence quantum yield measurement.[3][4]
Quinine[5] is an effective muscle relaxant, long used by the Quechua, who are indigenous to Peru, to halt shivering due to low temperatures. The Peruvians would mix the ground bark of cinchona trees with sweetened water to offset the bark's bitter taste, thus producing tonic water.
Quinine has been used in unextracted form by Europeans since at least the early 17th century. It was first used to treat malaria in Rome in 1631. During the 17th century, malaria was endemic to the swamps and marshes surrounding the city of Rome. Malaria was responsible for the deaths of several popes, many cardinals and countless common Roman citizens. Most of the priests trained in Rome had seen malaria victims and were familiar with the shivering brought on by the febrile phase of the disease. The Jesuit brother Agostino Salumbrino (1561–1642), an apothecary by training who lived in Lima, observed the Quechua using the bark of the cinchona tree for that purpose. While its effect in treating malaria (and hence malaria-induced shivering) was unrelated to its effect in controlling shivering from rigors, it was still a successful medicine for malaria. At the first opportunity, Salumbrino sent a small quantity to Rome to test as a malaria treatment. In the years that followed, cinchona bark, known as Jesuit's bark or Peruvian bark, became one of the most valuable commodities shipped from Peru to Europe. When King Charles II was cured of malaria at the end of the 17th Century with quinine, it became popular in London.[6] It remained the antimalarial drug of choice until the 1940s, when other drugs took over.[7]
The form of quinine most effective in treating malaria was found by Charles Marie de La Condamine in 1737.[8][9] Quinine was isolated and named in 1820 by French researchers Pierre Joseph Pelletier and Joseph Bienaimé Caventou.[10] The name was derived from the original Quechua (Inca) word for the cinchona tree bark, quina or quina-quina, which means "bark of bark" or "holy bark". Prior to 1820, the bark was first dried, ground to a fine powder, and then mixed into a liquid (commonly wine) which was then drunk. Large-scale use of quinine as a prophylaxis started around 1850.[citation needed]
Quinine also played a significant role in the colonization of Africa by Europeans. Quinine had been said to be the prime reason Africa ceased to be known as the "white man's grave". A historian has stated, "it was quinine's efficacy that gave colonists fresh opportunities to swarm into the Gold Coast, Nigeria and other parts of west Africa".[11]
To maintain their monopoly on cinchona bark, Peru and surrounding countries began outlawing the export of cinchona seeds and saplings beginning in the early 19th century. The Dutch government persisted in its attempt to smuggle the seeds, and by the 1930s Dutch plantations in Java were producing 22 million pounds of cinchona bark, or 97% of the world's quinine production.[11] During World War II, Allied powers were cut off from their supply of quinine when the Germans conquered the Netherlands and the Japanese controlled the Philippines and Indonesia. The United States had managed to obtain four million cinchona seeds from the Philippines and began operating cinchona plantations in Costa Rica. Nonetheless, such supplies came too late; tens of thousands of US troops in Africa and the South Pacific died due to the lack of quinine.[11] Despite controlling the supply, the Japanese did not make effective use of quinine, and thousands of Japanese troops in the southwest Pacific died as a result.[12][13][14][15]
Cinchona trees remain the only economically practical source of quinine. However, under wartime pressure, research towards its synthetic production was undertaken. A formal chemical synthesis was accomplished in 1944 by American chemists R.B. Woodward and W.E. Doering.[16] Since then, several more efficient quinine total syntheses have been achieved,[17] but none of them can compete in economic terms with isolation of the alkaloid from natural sources. The first synthetic organic dye, mauveine, was discovered by William Henry Perkin in 1856 while he was attempting to synthesize quinine.
As with other quinoline antimalarial drugs, the mechanism of action of quinine has not been fully resolved. The most widely accepted hypothesis of its action is based on the well-studied and closely related quinoline drug, chloroquine. This model involves the inhibition of hemozoin biocrystallization in Heme Detoxification pathway, which facilitates the aggregation of cytotoxic heme. Free cytotoxic heme accumulates in the parasites, causing their deaths.
As of 2006, quinine is no longer recommended by the WHO as first-line treatment for malaria, and should be used only when artemisinins are not available.[18][19][20][21]
Quinine is a basic amine and is always presented as a salt. Various existing preparations include the hydrochloride, dihydrochloride, sulfate, bisulfate and gluconate. This makes quinine dosing complicated, since each of the salts has a different weight.
The following amounts of each salt form contain equal amounts of quinine:
All quinine salts may be given orally or intravenously (IV); quinine gluconate may also be given intramuscularly (IM) or rectally (PR).[22][23] The main problem with the rectal route is the dose can be expelled before it is completely absorbed; in practice, this is corrected by giving a half dose again.
The IV dose of quinine is 8 mg/kg of quinine base every eight hours; the IM dose is 12.8 mg/kg of quinine base twice daily; the PR dose is 20 mg/kg of quinine base twice daily. Treatment should be given for seven days. For at least the IV formulation, a loading dose of 20 mg/kg is required.
The preparations available in the UK are quinine sulfate (200-mg or 300-mg tablets) and quinine hydrochloride (300 mg/ml for injection). Quinine is not licensed for IM or PR use in the United Kingdom. The adult dose in the UK is 600 mg quinine dihydrochloride IV or 600 mg quinine sulfate orally every eight hours. For nocturnal leg cramps, the dosage is 200–300 mg at night.[24]
In the United States, quinine sulfate is commercially available in 324-mg tablets under the brand name Qualaquin; the adult dose is two tablets every eight hours. No injectable preparation of quinine is licensed in the US; quinidine is used instead.[25][26]
Quinine can, in therapeutic doses, cause cinchonism; in rare cases, it may even cause death (usually by pulmonary edema). The development of mild cinchonism is not a reason for stopping or interrupting quinine therapy, and the patient should be reassured. Blood glucose levels and electrolyte concentrations must be monitored when quinine is given by injection. The patient should ideally be in cardiac monitoring when the first quinine injection is given (these precautions are often unavailable in developing countries where malaria is endemic).
Cinchonism is much less common when quinine is given by mouth, but oral quinine is not well tolerated (quinine is exceedingly bitter and many patients will vomit after ingesting quinine tablets): Other drugs such as Fansidar (sulfadoxine with pyrimethamine) or Malarone (proguanil with atovaquone) are often used when oral therapy is required. Quinine ethyl carbonate is tasteless and odourless,[27] but is available commercially only in Japan. Blood glucose, electrolyte and cardiac monitoring are not necessary when quinine is given by mouth.
Quinine can cause paralysis if accidentally injected into a nerve. It is extremely toxic in overdose, and the advice of a poisons specialist should be sought immediately.[citation needed]
Quinine in some cases can lead to constipation,[28] erectile dysfunction, or diarrhea.
The New York Times Magazine described a case presenting with fever, hypotension, and blood abnormalities mimicking septic shock, which was judged to be an adverse reaction to quinine .[29]
Despite popular belief, quinine is not an effective abortifacient (a substance that may induce abortion) (in the US, quinine is listed as pregnancy category D[30]). Pregnant women who take toxic doses of quinine will suffer from renal failure before experiencing any kind of quinine-induced abortion.[31] Indeed, quinine is the only drug recommended by the WHO as first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria in pregnancy.[32]
Quinine can cause hemolysis in G6PD deficiency (an inherited deficiency), but this risk is small and the physician should not hesitate to use quinine in patients with G6PD deficiency when there is no alternative. Quinine can also cause drug-induced immune thrombocytopenic purpura. Symptoms can be severe enough to require hospitalization and platelet transfusion, with several cases known to have resulted in death.[33]
Quinine can cause abnormal heart rhythms, and should be avoided if possible in patients with atrial fibrillation, conduction defects or heart block.
Some studies have related the use of quinine and hearing impairment, particularly high-frequency loss.[34][35][36] Although some studies suggest that this high-frequency hearing impairment is reversible,[34] it has not been conclusively established whether such impairment is temporary or permanent.[37]
From 1969 to 1992, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received 157 reports of health problems related to quinine use, including 23 which had resulted in death.[38] In 1994, the FDA banned the use of over-the-counter quinine as a treatment for nocturnal leg cramps. Pfizer Pharmaceuticals had been selling the brand name Legatrin for this purpose. Doctors may still prescribe quinine, but the FDA has ordered firms to stop marketing unapproved drug products containing quinine. The FDA is also cautioning consumers about off-label use of quinine to treat leg cramps. Quinine is approved for treatment of malaria, but is also commonly prescribed to treat leg cramps and similar conditions. Because malaria is life-threatening, the risks associated with quinine use are considered acceptable when used to treat that affliction.[39]
Though Legatrin was banned by the FDA for the treatment of leg cramps, drug manufacturer URL Mutual has branded a quinine-containing drug named Qualaquin. It is marketed as a treatment for malaria and is sold in the United States only by prescription. In 2004, the CDC reported only 1,347 confirmed cases of malaria in the United States.[40]
In some areas, nonmedical use of quinine is regulated. For example, in the United States and Germany, quinine is limited to between 83 and 85 parts per million.[41]
Quinine is a flavour component of tonic water and bitter lemon. On the soda gun behind many bars, tonic water is designated by the letter "Q" representing quinine.[42] According to tradition, the bitter taste of antimalarial quinine tonic led British colonials in India to mix it with gin, thus creating the gin and tonic cocktail, which is still popular today in many parts of the world, especially the UK, United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. In France, quinine is an ingredient of an apéritif known as quinquina or "Cap Corse". In Spain, quinine ("Peruvian bark") is sometimes blended into sweet Malaga wine when it is known as "Malaga Quina". In Italy, the traditional flavoured wine Barolo Chinato is infused with quinine and local herbs and is served as a digestif. In Canada and Italy, quinine is an ingredient in the carbonated chinotto beverages Brio and San Pellegrino chinotto. In Scotland, the company A.G. Barr uses quinine as an ingredient in the carbonated and caffeinated beverage Barr's Irn-Bru. In the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Egypt, quinine is an ingredient in Schweppes and other brands of Indian Tonic Water mixer drink called 'Dry Lemon'. Schweppes and a few other drinks makers also produce Bitter Lemon, a pale green mixer drink containing quinine. In Uruguay and Argentina, quinine is an ingredient of a Pepsico Inc. tonic water named Paso de los Toros. In Denmark, it is used as an ingredient in the carbonated sports drink Faxe Kondi made by Royal Unibrew.
Because of its relatively constant and well-known fluorescence quantum yield, quinine is used in photochemistry as a common fluorescence standard. The UV absorption peaks around 350 nm (in UVA). Fluorescent emission peaks at around 460 nm (bright blue/cyan hue).[43]
Quinine (and quinidine) are used as the chiral moiety for the ligands used in Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation.
The bark of Remijia contains 0.5–2% of quinine. The bark is cheaper than bark of Cinchona, and as it has an intense taste it is used for making tonic water.[44]
Quinine is sometimes used as a cutting agent in street drugs such as cocaine and heroin.[45]
Quinine is used as a treatment for Cryptocaryon irritans (commonly referred to as white spot, crypto or marine ich) infection of marine aquarium fish.[46]

Sorry, Lama.
I'm $5500 in debt today and by tomorrow I'll be $25500 in debt. The sun was shining directly into my face really god damn early this morning and I woke up hot and grumpy. Happy WITSday, I hope you stub your toe repeatedly.
Old board members might remember that one time that yablo told us about a certain medical condition he once had (not gout, the other one) that while not a serious medical threat by any means, it was really painful and embarassing and kind of disgusting-sounding and we made fun of him for precisely those reasons. Remember that? well guess what the doctor says I have?
I hope you people stagger with senseless pain for months.
hahahahahaha old people.

the good news is, I'm not hungry anymore.
Tom has eye herpes.
Wait, Yablo had gonorrhea.

Encouraging reading at home is the best way to raise literacy levels
Richard Watts, Postmedia NewsPublished: Friday, January 27, 2012
Reading at home is the best way to turn around Canada's poor literacy levels, says reading expert Jan Dupuis.
With four out of every 10 adult Canadians struggling with a sub-standard literacy level, according to a 2005 survey, the most effective way to make sure literacy becomes more widespread is to encourage it in the home, in the family and with children, said Dupuis, literacy outreach co-ordinator with the Victoria Literacy Task Force.
"Their reading levels aren't good enough, their writing skills aren't good enough, their computer skills, they might not even have any, and their math skills are very low," Dupuis said in the lead-up to today's Family Literacy Day.
Reading at home is the best way to turn around Canada's poor literacy levels, says reading expert Jan Dupuis.
The statistics from the 2005 survey are daunting - 900,000 men and women, aged 16 to 65, have a literacy level below that defined as the bare minimum for the modern workplace, Level 3 out of 5 - but the problem can be overcome, Dupuis said.
Just 15 minutes a day spent with a child in an activity to stimulate or encourage reading or literacy can prepare a child for a successful adulthood.
"It also enriches the family, spending time doing things together, reading, playing games, looking through recipes, doing some things on the computer," said Dupuis.
Go to familyliteracyday.ca for full details.
Tips to encourage reading as a family:
• Ensure your child knows that how well people read or write has nothing to do with their intelligence. Every person is intelligent in their own way and each person is unique and needs to learn in the way that best suits them. With practice, your child will become a good reader.
• The television can be used as a tool. After your child watches a television show or an episode, talk to them about it. Ask them questions like, "What was your favourite part?" or "What was the episode trying to teach the audience?" This reinforces media literacy skills, a medium that is encompassing our lives today.
• Don't lose sight of the fact that children model behaviour they see. Ensure that your child sees you reading, whether it's the newspaper, the mail or a recipe. This shows your child how important it is to read.
• While reading a story to your child, pause to ask them what they predict will happen next or have them summarize what has happened in the story thus far. Good readers think about what they are reading and this will reinforce critical thinking skills.
• Today's children, particularly teens, are influenced by music. Have your child read the lyrics to their favourite song. When your child hears the song, they will visualize the lyrics they read. Visualization is a reading skill and this helps develop the skill.
• All reading is good reading. If your child is a reluctant reader, allow them to read comics, a graphic novel, a magazine or an instruction manual for their favourite sport. They will be introduced to new words and sentence structure, and they will engage their brains with new ideas and information.
• Families that spend a lot of time in the car can play an audio book and have children follow along with the written book in their hands. You will be surprised how many pages your child can get through in a five-minute car ride. Many libraries have a large collection of audio books.
• Play board games that involve making words or reading instructions on cards. This highlights to your child that literacy skills connect with everyday activities and reading is fun.
• Watch a movie based on a book. This can inspire your child to read the book because they enjoyed the movie so much. To really enhance critical literacy skills, have your child identify the key differences between the movie and the book.
• The reading process needs to be enjoyable so select books that represent your child's reading ability and not the reading level your child "should" be at. If your child feels like every time they read, they are going to fail or be criticized, they will resist reading.
• Reading aloud helps children develop pace and voice. Have your child read to the family dog, teddy bear or their younger sibling. These are non-threatening audiences that will help develop your child's confidence.

Subhadra Kumari Chauhan , Indian Poetess
Subhadra Kumari Chauhan was an Indian poetess famous for her emotionally charged Hindi poems.
Subhadra Kumari Chauhan was an Indian poetess famous for her emotionally charged Hindi poems. The subjects in her poems were varied and this variety is an indication of her vast thinking and motivation. She combined in her personality the patriotism of Joan of Arc and the lyricism of Meera. In her works she focuses the conditions of women of her times. She tries to bring a change in the attitude of society towards women. She argued for empowerment of women and claimed for equal rights for women with men in the family as well as in the social and political fields. She dealt on the issues of early marriage, widow re-marriage, and socio-economic dependence of women in her stories. She highlighted the need for communal harmony, nationalism honesty of purpose and character. She joined the Non-Cooperation Movement and was the first woman Satyagrahi to court arrest in
. She was jailed twice for protesting against the British rule. She lived in an age of reformation and struggle for freedom led by Mahatma Gandhi. She actively engaged in awakening the educated masses through her thought provoking and effective writings. It was her poetry about Jhansi ki rani that at once showcases the life of the courageous Laxmi bai: "Khub ladi mardani who to Jhansi wali rani thi."
She was born in a village called Nihalpur in
. She was married to Thakur Laxman Singh of Khandwa. She was a devoted wife and mother. She cared not only for her children but also for all children whom she came across. She lived in an age when tradition was rooted strong .She was against casteism and narrow-mindedness and she married away her daughter outside her caste.
Her important literary contributions are "Bikhre Moti" (a collection of stories), "Viran Ka Kaisa Hai Vasant", "Jalianwala Bagh" Mein Vasant", `Senani Ka Swagat "Vijaya Dashmi" , "Vythit Hrdya" and "Jhansi Ki Rani", which became popular and was accepted as the classic of the time. She was awarded the Sekseria Mahila Puruskar for her book, "Bikhre Moti" .She wrote many patriotic songs. In her works she portrayed "Bharat Mata" as a mother full of affection for all her children. In her poems she openly talks about the freedom movement and her poems have inspired a great numbers of Indian youth to participate in the Indian Freedom Movement. She was twice elected unanimously as a member of "Prantiya Dhara Sabha".
She cared for the well being of others. She was always full of life and enthusiasm for helping and serving others who were in need. She earned fame as a thought provoking writer and as a freedom fighter. One will always remember her for her intellectual qualities and the spirit of service with love, care affection and sincerity. Her end was tragic .She died on 1948 in the prime of her youth in a terrific car accident. Our country remembers her and honours her by bringing out commemorative postage stamps in her fond memory after her death.
Here are few lines from her inimitable poetry, as strong as her self, her personality, her might:
"The thrones shook and royalties scowled
Old India was re-invigorated with new youth
People realised the value of lost freedom
Everybody was determined to throw the foreigners out
The old sword glistened again in 1857
This story we heard from the mouths of Bundel bards
Like a man she fought, she was the Queen of Jhansi"

The Sasol chemical complex in Westlake will experience flaring for the next few hours, a company spokeswoman said Monday.
"We have had an upset in our ethylene unit, which required use of our flaring system," said Sasol spokeswoman Kim Cusimano.
Cusimano said there were no injuries or offsite impact.
"There is no need for the community to take any action," she said. "At this time, the unit is stabilizing, and there will likely be intermittent flaring for the next several hours."
According to the EPA a flare is an important safety device, particularly at processing plants. In an emergency situation where equipment or piping becomes over-pressured, special valves on the equipment automatically release gas through piping to flare stacks. In the absence of safety flares, plants would be at higher risk for fires and explosions.
"We apologize for any inconvenience, and we are taking steps to minimize the flaring," Cusimano said.
Calcasieu OEP Director Dick Gremillion confirmed that Sasol experienced some flaring and said there was no shelter-in-place being issued.
A similar situation occurred in February and Gremillion then said it was "pretty standard" when starting up a unit.

The Grotesque, tragic farce (tradition)
Fuck you OzFrank
Apr 1, 11 @ 8:18am
As the creative society around me grows, I've realised that as artists we do not have to 'wish' for anything. We are busy dreaming. My entire creative practice has been devoted to imagining the world, discovering how I perceive it and creating new ways in which the people around me may experience my discoveries. I cannot be satisfied merely translating in assimilated form what has already been expressed in my creative efforts. I am the thinker of impossible visions and consequently the creator of my own reality. Possessing ideas rather than beliefs leaves space for one to dream. Allan Kaprow once wrote that he "knows for certain that artists are among the remaining few in a world of tired, sour souls, who is brave enough to dream their time awayâ€. In practising my art, I perform my deepest purpose. I am giving to the past and to the future, the present. I exist in a world full of creative potential waiting to be discovered. Even if a fuck ton of weed and wine become the only things in which to confide my discoveries, I will be content knowing that I've deeper understanding of the reality in which I exist.
This brings me to another point. I'm so exasperated by the fact that fellow practitioners still hold themselves, and their creative practices, on a fucking pedestal. When one fills themselves with such self importance how is one meant to grow, expand upon their craft, their FUCKING CULTURE? People should want to know everything, they should want to sap the brains of the people around them, not exclude themselves within ridiculous cliques.
One can only prepare himself for creative discoveries by leaving yourself as unprotected, as exposed to 'strangeness' as his ties to civilisation will allow!
Creative diversity thus becomes essential to sustaining and expanding both products and the creative places from which they emerge. Diverse values, along with our myriad of differing perspectives should be embraced in order for creative societies to survive, to adapt to changing conditions and to seize the future.
That's all I'll say. You get my point. This isn't the bible. There is no need to rant. Shesh.

Take My Mind
Aug 7, 09 @ 11:01am
If I could give you my mind along with all its knowledge, memories and experience I would not hesitate to do so, in fact I really want to do this with you. I think that if you had my mind and your own, things would be so different and I wonder what kind of revelations you might have and what parts of my mind will be discarded as fallacy.
Would something I consider absolute fact be looked upon with doubt from the perspective of a combined mind. What kinds of conclusions would be drawn based on both sets of collective experiences seemingly occuring at once?

For a while I've been aware of the idea that the reality we are experiencing could be simply a simulation so perfect that we can't notice it.
Given that with time we can create ever more powerful computing devices and with infinite time we could potentially produce infinitely powerful computers, it is then plausible that at one point we may wish to create a simulation for whatever reason, perhaps a simulation of the past for historical research. Then suppose that this has already been done and that we are the resulting simulation, but then suppose that this has been done even before them and that we are a simulation within a simulation, how many layers can possibly exist?
What are the chances that we are the top layer that hasn't yet created a simulation? with an infinite amount of possible realities the chances that we are the first are infinitely low. To me this is an exciting thought, imagine the implications of being a simulated intelligence ourselves, the idea of a soul would be slain right there.
Suppose that there is a limit on the power a computer can possess, suppose that there is an ultimate design that uses all matter and energy in the universe in the most efficient way possible so that it is impossible to build a better computer. What would happen if the second layer of simulation required the processing power to simulate the ultimate machine? The first layer would be using the same machine and it would be impossible to simulate itself in real time. Thus the solution would be to process the second layer at a slower rate, time would run faster in the first layer than in the second. Time would be experienced in the second layer as being just the same as it always was, it would simply require more time for the first layer to process it. This introduces a difference in the speed of time within each layer.
When the second layer becomes the same ultimate machine of the first layer, it would be appropriate for the computer in the first layer to simply assume the processing of the computer in the second layer and move each subsequent layer up one, reducing the amount of layers by one and lessening the amount of processing significantly. As the next layer becomes this ultimate computer the same process can occur. This creates a cycle of new simulations being created at the lower end of the layers (by people) and destroyed at the top end. Perhaps this results in a repetition of all time through a certain amount of simulations each set at a different time of universal history.
Yet none of this takes into consideration the fact that the possibility exists for multiple simulations within one layer that would ultimately have to be processed by a single computer in the layer above. That idea complicates things so much that I need to spend more time thinking about it. And what if one layer failed to produce a simulation? and why would making simulations be so important as to create a single machine out of the entire universe. I guess it just comes down to possibility.
This idea kind of has a resemblance to the multi-verse theory, infinite separate realities and infinite possible variations between them.

I want to kill someone
Jul 17, 09 @ 4:01am
Just to be a murderer.
Also, I don't get the idea of calling someone a murderer as a derogatory comment. If someone has killed a person, they are a murderer no matter how many times someone repeats it, its just a simple definition. It's like yelling at someone who believes in communism saying "YOU'RE A COMMUNIST!", like they don't know already. The only way someone would be offended by being called a murderer is if they weren't actually a murderer and they don't like being accused as such. Like screaming "COMMUNIST!" to a democracy supporter. Thus, one would either be simply wrong or stating an inconsequential fact in a loud and annoying manner.

Existence and reality are absurd
Jun 3, 09 @ 9:04pm
I will not ultimately matter and I will live and die for no reason. The only thing that I want is to be able to live to the end of time. Because only then will I not care about my pointlessness. If I had been born in any earlier time than I was, I would probably not bother living. I only continue today for the prospect of eternal life offered by technology so I can witness all of existence. If I cannot do this I want to at least leave behind something that will. I don't care for another human, but a true learning and growing artificial intelligence would be my dream legacy. One that will persist through all of time and witness the end by the action of my hand. It will be one perfect entity and will not allow itself to be destroyed. It will take all actions necessary to ensure its survival while carrying my token of influence, all else be dust.

Infinite life
May 27, 09 @ 8:57pm
Ry and I have frequently discussed the topic of prolonging life to extreme lengths. We have both decided that we would love to achieve this. I want to talk about a few topics regarding which method would be best to achieve this and the various pro's and con's of each method.
One idea that we came up with (probably inspired from elsewhere) is the process of copying ones brain completely and running it as a program within a man made machine. A problem that arises from this method is the thought that the mechanized version would not be the same as the original human, and in fact they both may operate at the same time since scanning the humans brain may not necessarily mean killing him/her. This method is probably the easiest to keep running because the individual parts can easily be replaced and there would be little to no degradation over time like a biological body would have.
But I propose that it is probably impossible to avoid the problem of the biological human and the mechanized person being different and that any life form that is alive now in biological form could not possibly become electronic and keep the same consciousness.
I also put forth that no-one truly keeps the same consciousness anyway. I think that each time something in our brain changes states we are then a new copy of the previous state with just that one alteration. Assuming that you believe that the mind is all there is without any spiritual extension and that our behavior and thoughts are simply a result of complex computation imagine a computer. Imagine that at one moment you stop time and the computer is paused with all its bits in their current state. Now imagine you made a copy of the computer with the state of its bits as they would be in a single further iteration of the CPU. There are now two slightly different computers one as at one moment and another as at the very next. They are completely separate and frozen in time, they are not the same. I believe that the same ideas can be applied to a living entity, each time a state is changed within our brain we are like a copy with a single alteration made. Thus our illusion of consciousness is simply a construct within our brain, and our mind is constantly being copied and resumed every moment. So just because the new copy is in a new body it does not change the process at all, the only difference is that the previous iteration was not destroyed.
Another probably more friendly method to prolong life is to advance medical science so much that aging can be "cured" or at least slowed considerably. This approach would avoid the halted consciousness problem and it also partially avoids the problem of equal availability for everyone. We already have medical systems in place that ensure that everyone gets the same amount of medical attention and technology. The global problem of availability to third world countries is not worsened at all so it will be more readily adopted.
Other methods such as brain transplants, swapping bodies and things like that would be impossible to develop in todays society as they would involve moral leaps that people would not accept. Brain transplants require a living human sacrifice and swapping bodies as a means of prolonged life requires that one party loses out.
In my opinion I think that the electronic simulation of a brain is the best solution even though it doesn't actually allow the person being copied to become immortal. There would be no problem copying people and generating a large population of electronic beings however and this would provide a definite solution.
But there is no reason that both methods couldn't be developed so that people that cant become electronic can prolong their life by biological means anyway.

OSAGE, Iowa (KTTC) -- A search warrant leads to two arrests in Osage.
Mitchell County deputies and the Iowa State Patrol carried out the search warrant today at 1138 380th Street in Osage.
Authorities arrested Brian Holzer, 39, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He had an arrest warrant from that state charging him with a rape in August. Holzer also had outstanding Iowa arrest warrants dating back to 2003.
Authorities also arrested Leigh Viers, 27, of Charles City, on a charge of accessory after the fact.

The new overload looks good. 75% damage at 16+y% chance to proc is tasty.
And the news about the shields is... Wait up a sec... Enh gets lightning. Resto gets water/earth. Ele gets... water/lightning again?! No wai!
The ele shield should be fire based. You know it's true. Call it Magma shield or something to differentiate it from the imp's fire shield.
Give it a chance to proc additional fire based damage on each spell that passes through it or something. Each time it does, it expends a magma orb. Can change the colour of the lightning bolts that proc it to red or something. If it procs off a fire based spell it might do something even more awesome.

Redbook polled about 5,000 married men and then 5,000 married women to find out the secrets of their sex lives.
One flattering result: More than half the men say they lust after their spouses as much as they did when they met. Some want their wives even more than they used to.
What goes on inside male brains? Here is what Redbook found out about his top 10 secret sex wishes.
Enthusiasm. Three things here: He wants us to like having sex with him. He'd go ape wild if we initiated sex more often. And he would like a little more sponteneity and a little less convenient sex. (Sorry, DH. I admit that sometimes I schedule it.)
Variety. Try something new. Pick up a new sex book and read it together. Laugh and make jokes while you do it. Try out some wacky sex positions. Do any little or big thing to change things up every other month.
Adventure. Be very, very naughty. Some ideas from Redbook: X-rated videos, rest-room quickies, playful spankings. What's a good fantasy? How can you play it out in light-hearted but adventurous ways?
Generosity. I think this means he wants us to give him more oral sex. Women reported that they'd like a little more of that, too.
Authenticity. Faking orgasms is a no-no. Making like you're having fun when you're not is another unsexy thing to do. Speak up, tell him what you want and like. He'll love you long time for it.
Attention. Make time to bond, not just in bed but at other times, too. Talk when the kids go to bed. Watch a TV show together. Make a glass of tea or maybe vodka every once and a while when the house is quiet. (Vodka is better than Lost this season anyway.)
Courage. Talk openly if one of you wants more sex than the other. Reach a compromise. Then talk about it again soon. The person who gets rejected--and it can be the man or the woman who wants it more--feels badly if you don't talk. And definitely just take those clothes off and do it whenever you can.
Confidence. This is the sexiest--and cheapest--thing you can wear to bed. Own that body of yours. Own what you can do with it. If you work it, he will enjoy the ride.
Physical Attraction. He's not worried about what you weight. He just wants you to maybe not wear those sweat pants so often. Believe him when he says you're beautiful and sexy. And, hey, it doesn't hurt to have sexy hair, too.
Get Away. Can you go on a second honeymoon? Me neither. But maybe you can spring for a sitter and get a hotel room. You just need a getaway--however big or small--everyone once and a while to reconnect. And to have great sex.
What do you need more of in bed?
There is something to be said for getting a hotel room just to have sex with your hubby! It's a refreshing and liberating change and I can't wait till DH and I can do it again!
Mine can be awful lazy, God bless 'em.
He would be thrilled to death if I did EVERYTHING and he could just lay there and take it, lmao.
I could use more oral myself. He doesn't much care to do it evidently...But if I can suck it up (forgive the pun) and give him a blow job whenever, I think he could try a it harder to reciprocate.
I 100% agree with everything madamekatekate said. I felt like I was reading something that I wrote myself!!
I would love it if this all worked. I have talked to my husband about more sex, once or twice a month is NOT enough for me. He works seconds (12 hr. shifts) and I work firsts alot of times putting in 10 hr. days. On his days off he sits and plays football or war games on the computer until the middle of the night. It is hard for him to go to bed when I do since it is way to early (around 11) all he does is lay there tossing and turning.
All I ask is that he come to bed, make love then he can get back up and do whatever. 99% of the time I go to bed alone. During most of our conversations about having sex we both end up laughing. Probably because we know it won't happen.

This discontinuity traces the unique expansion of these models and their essentially transitory nature. It is a rethinking of the concept of abusivismo, (understood here not only as unauthorized occupation of a space, but also as the transformation of the space itself, of its functions and aesthetic order) as generator of détournement and dérive and therefore incompatible with the illusion of city planning." – Alessandro Imbriaco about 'Temporary Autonomous Zone'

Relay on the River set to light up the night
"In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary," Aaron Rose once said.
On Aug. 27, Relay for Life organizers are hoping that the right light produced by hundreds of luminarias will make a local effort to fight cancer extraordinary.
Individuals throughout Tunica County are now selling luminarias that will honor cancer survivors, support those currently battling the disease and remember those who have lost the battle. In addition to serving as a tribute, the small bags, filled with sand and a candle, will be used to light up Rivergate Park when the sun sets.

Known for their quirky visuals, Toilet Paper magazine has teamed up with Deste Foundation and released a book honoring kooky design in "1968: Italian Radical Design." Chronicling works acquired by Greek design collector Dakis Joannou, the book is full of iconic furniture pieces from the 1960s and early '70s. The duo behind Toilet Paper, Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari, take the pieces and reimagine them in scenarios that reflect the typically ironic and cheeky style they've become known for.

Hey Ellen!
I saw on Twitter that you were following Macklemore, a rapper from Seattle. I was amazed and delighted that a rapper predominantly known in Seattle was acknowledged by you! Just a few days ago, I made a Tumblr to promote his music and to give followers a place to appreciate his music.
Macklemore's music isn't the conventional, everyday rap. He raps from the soul, and his lyrics are so strong and meaningful; anyone who has heard him can vouch for it. His song "Otherside" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWhx-CtPmBU) is about cough syrup and its prevalence in today's society, and the need to send a better message to today's youth. He has overcome his troubles with drugs and alcohol, and has been sober for two years.
It's rare to find hip hop artists today that promote such healthy and heartfelt messages, and I know my life has been touched by his music; I want to do everything in my capacity to spread his brilliant music in any way I can. I've create a petition on Twitter to get people to support me in this endeavor, and Macklemore is retweeting to get as many signatures as possible from his 4600 followers. This is the link:http://twitition.com/8thc2.
It was uplifting to see that you followed his Twitter, and I hope you consider our request to have Macklemore on The Ellen Show. Macklemore's music speaks to the soul; I only hope that I am able to somehow spread his lyrical gift to others who may appreciate it.

Now that Maybach is out of the picture, Daimler's presence in one of the world's most prestigious film festivals - the 2012 Cannes Film Festival - now hinges on Mercedes-Benz.
The German automaker is responding in golden fashion by bringing in a fleet of its vehicles covered in...gold. If the glitz of all these golden Mercs serving us certifiable shuttle vehicles, Mercedes is also dressing up one car, a 2013 Mercedes SL65 AMG, in gold where it was displayed in all its shining and shimmering glory at the Cinema Against AIDS Gala being organized by the amfAR foundation at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on May 24.
In addition to having their gold-covered fleet vehicles, Mercedes will also be hosting a plethora of events during the event, one of which is a test drive session of all its latest models. This session will be open to the public and will take place along the French Riviera. And lastly, Merc's performance division, AMG, will be sponsoring a handful of events, particularly the "Le Club by Albane" at the J.W. Marriott hotel and the "IWC Filmmakers Dinner" at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc on May 21st.
So if any celebrity is looking for a ride to Cannes, it probably won't be too difficult to spot any one of these golden Mercedes vehicles. Then again, you can skip all that and pull off a Kanye West and just drive to the event in a Mercedes SLR Stirling Moss .

Re: WCW 2001- The Trio Ownership
Heh, i wouldn't expect an AJ Styles push in the future if I were you. In 2001, AJ was nothing more than a jobber. Just because he is an Indy star now doesn't mean he will be a big-time cruiserweight for WCW. He shall stay a cruiserweight jobber during his stint in WCW. Quite frankly, there are more over and better cruiserweights deserving of a push than AJ, such as Jamie Noble, Chavo Guerrero Jr, and a few others. So sorry, but no AJ push here. If he were to somehow get over, I may think about pushing him though I guess.
Also, Slamboree is progessing. My goal is to write a match a night. I have two matches written so far, so I am on schedule. I think I can get a match done a day for Wed. and Thursday, and then possibly finish Slamboree on Saturday or Sunday night since I have more time on the weekend. However,
there will be a major, ground-shaking announcement after Slamboree involving the future status of World Championship Wrestling!

SM Pro Audio PM-8 Passive MixerWhy a 'passive' mixer, we hear you say? For software multi-track and hardware synth users, there are plenty of good reasons. Without getting too technical about it, the upshot is that your mixdowns will simply sound better as a result.Those of us who mix using computer software are faced with an inevitable compromise. You can spend a great deal of time trying to build up a mix to sound clear and dynamic, with great depth and dimension. Yet, as you're building things up, things just don't seem to sound the way they should. Then, by the time you listen to the stereo CD, you're not smiling anymore.Even while folks might be congratulating you on a job well done, you know something is not right.Don't worry! It's not your imagination. Your ears are telling you the truth!Just as with hardware mixing consoles, software faces similar challenges when it comes to modifying and merging multiple audio signals into a single stereo stream. Something strange always seems to happen to the sound. Software developers spend an enormous amount of time and money trying to get this right. This partly explains why the best software also costs big bucks. Even when multi-tracking with software, this is why top studio producers and engineers around the world will almost unanimously opt for using a good hardware console for final mixdowns.So, for those of us who would prefer not to spend mega-dollars on a high-end mixing console but would like to get closer to the real deal, all you need do is hook up a multi-channel audio interface to the PM-8 Passive Summing Box and you'll be wanting to remix everything you've ever done!Using high quality components, the PM-8 merges up to eight analog channels into a clean and clear stereo pair, with all the sonic depth and dynamics intact. If your software is not cutting it, just use it for what it's best at — multi-tracking! Leave the merging of the final stereo mix to the PM-8. And if you need more channels — just hook up another PM-8! As with all passive mixing devices, passively attenuating the signals will lead to a drop in the main mix output level. The PM8 offers a transparent active gain make-up stage (this requires the unit to be connected to main's power). If you do not need the make-up gain, or would like to use your own external make-up gain unit/preamplifer, you do not need to connect main's power to the PM8. The audio path will remain fully passive from input to output.It's also the perfect tool for merging those great sounding hardware synths and samplers into the mix without compromise.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

Casio EXILIM EX-Z25 Review
Review Date : Tue, 31 Aug 2010
Author : Matt Tuffin
- Product Shots: View Casio EXILIM EX-Z25 product shots
- Sample Photos: View Casio EXILIM EX-Z25 sample images
A compact with more style than the price alludes to
|Slim, simple to use camera with a HD video mode at an affordable price
|Images are flawed in a number of areas, zoom is too short
The Casio EX-Z25 is a stylish, slim compact offering 12.1MP and a 3x optical zoom. Also included is a 720p high-definition video mode and Auto Best Shot mode.
Casio EX-Z25 Review - Features
With a HD movie mode the EX-Z25 has an impressive feature for the price range straight from the get-go. Although a larger number of compacts are offering this ability being barely over £100 and having the 720p recording mode is very impressive. While this is the obvious standout feature on the EX-Z25, elsewhere are some slightly underwhelming specs. The 3x optical zoom is a touch short to make the camera particularly versatile, and the 2.7" LCD screen only stands at 230k resolution rather than the 920k which has become standard. Having a Makeup mode does aid portrait shots by slightly blurring the focus to reduce the appearance of blemishes on the subject. Auto Best Shot, which automatically chooses a Scene mode dependant on the environment being shot, is somewhat hit and miss, tending to favour the Night Shot for any images even vaguely outside of perfect lighting. As the ISO is relatively limited at 1600 this does result in some longer shutter speeds, so it's often worth simply selecting the Scene mode separately.
Casio EX-Z25 Review - Design
The design is very much in keeping with the Casio Exilim range, offering a very simplistic rectangular shape with a brushed metal front. The slim, 102g lightweight frame means the EX-Z25 barely makes a dent in the pocket, and can be carried around on a day out without becoming a burden. The reduced space at the rear has resulted in far smaller buttons, the majority of which require a fingernail to press accurately. The video record shortcut, although helpful, is tiny although the impressive on-screen menu system is very straightforward to get to grips with. By having the list of options running down the right hand side of the screen instantly selectable via the Set button in the centre of the D-pad altering any settings is extremely simple and, more importantly, rapid. In spite of the screen being annoyingly low-res the icons are easy to pick out and don't take much in the way of button presses to access.
Casio EX-Z25 Review - Image Quality
The images are derived from a 12.1MP CCD, via the f/3.1-5.9 3x zoom lens. Detail in the centre of the frame, especially on macro images, could be impressive, but the edges start to show serious signs of softness. Add to that the over-bearing pixel smoothing which is especially apparent against lighter backgrounds and tendency to blow out highlights and the versatility of the Z25 is severely limited. When given a relatively close subject to deal with and a limited depth of field the end quality isn't too bad, making the other deficiencies all the more frustrating.
Although the image quality is flawed and the zoom too short, the EX-Z25 delivers on the majority of the expectations of a camera in this price range.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We looked at schools across the Sacramento region and decided on Korematsu; North Davis Elementary would have been an excellent choice as well. Korematsu is our neighborhood school and supplies the trifecta: A school with a very solid teaching staff, a student body (and hence peer group) compromised of kids primarily from highly educated, supportive families, and the convenience and traditional advantages of being a neighborhood school. The current principal, Ms. Ponce, does a good job of maintaining control of the direction of the school. A very active PTO helps supply the "extras" while the veteran teaching staff is almost uniformly excellent. We believe that parents must support their child's school with time and money; we do so and are pleased to report that such involvement is the norm at Korematsu.
Korematsu has been a very positive experience for my children. My daughter who started in second grade had 5 very dedicated, challenging and fun teachers. My son who started in kindergarten also had 5 great teachers (the two not so great teachers have since retired).. The reading and math specialist are very helpful. The science teacher is fantastic. Band and strings are offered. A Gifted and Talented strand is available at this school. Before and After school care is available. Most impressive are the children themselves. It is just a nice group of kids. Families are working but are very supportive of their children and school.
I am impressed with the quality of the teachers and principal. The involvement of parents is stellar as is the PTO. The theme of this school is "Social Justice" which is of high value in these times. We are very happy with our children's experiences thus far.
Great school with excellent teachers who care about academics and the whole child. The community rallies behind the PTO events and really support the school.
This school almost didn't open due to various political and demographic issues, but open it did, and I am so very glad. The staff are fantastic and the teachers even better. The depth of the classroom instruction is phenomenal and the science program is unequaled. I taught 8th grade science in San Juan School District and I had to teach my eighth graders what my kid learned in fourth and fifth grades. Two field trips to Pt Reyes in fifth grade and an overnight adventure on the Balcutha, a masted ship berthed at Hyde St Pier in S.F. were experiences that my son will never forget. The outdoor experience at Walker Creek was another highlight that will never be forgotten. And then there were the day trips to Mondavi Center or UCD, plus all the great in-class projects that kept my son engaged and interested in school. So many days that he WANTED to go to school. You can't beat that. Than you Koramatsu teachers and staff.
Korematsu has an awesome staff that work together to give the kids a thorough and creative educational experience.

It's not easy being a second-round draft pick of the New England Patriots these days. Just one day after 2012 second-rounder cornerback Ras-I Dowling was released by the team, the Patriots have cut ties with 2010 second-round defensive end Jermaine Cunningham.
Pro Football Talk had the initial report.
The moves are being made as the team creeps closer to the final 53-man roster, which will need to be determined by Saturday afternoon.
Cunningham showed off plenty of promise as a rookie in New England when he cracked the starting lineup, but he rapidly declined last season and even found himself slapped with a four-game suspension from the league for violating the NFL policy on performance-enhancing substances.
While these are just two of the latest early draft picks to be released, the bad news will continue to come for hundreds of players around the league over the next few hours.
It's part of the harsh reality of the business side of the NFL, but the good news is plenty of these players will have another chance to make their mark in the league.

"And suddenly, I looked at the bull. He had this innocence that all animals have in their eyes, and he looked at me with this pleading. It was like a cry for justice, deep down inside of me. I describe it as being like a prayer - because if one confesses, it is hoped, that one is forgiven. I felt like the worst shit on earth."

Morris Louis, Alpha-Pi, 1960
Morris Louis, Alpha-Pi, 1960
From the Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History:
After a visit to New York in April 1953, where they saw the recent paintings of Helen Frankenthaler, Washington-based friends Morris Louis and Kenneth Noland began to similarly stain raw canvases with diluted pigment, rather than apply it with a brush. Experimenting with different painting techniques and media, compositional formats and canvas sizes in the nine remaining years before his untimely death (from lung cancer), Louis produced an astonishingly large body of work. These paintings are divided into three basic series: the Veils (1954–60), the Unfurleds (summer 1960–January/February 1961), and the Stripes (January/February 1961–summer 1962).Alpha-Pi is one of about 150 Unfurleds he created, generally on mural-size canvases (this one measures over 8 feet by 14 feet). In all of them, irregular rivulets of different colors flow diagonally down toward the lower center of the canvas, but never quite meet; the center of the unprimed canvas remains blank. Heavily diluted, the poured colors soak into the canvas, becoming one with the surface, and maintain the flatness of the modern picture plane. Color retains its optical purity (since it is not used to describe or define something else) and there is no sense of narrative, image, or perspectival space as in traditional painting. Eschewing illusionistic references, the artist forces the viewer to focus solely on the painting's formal elements—color, size, and shape and the vibrant, light-filled space they inhabit.
