What is the reveal hide feature here? It it a script that I can use in an email, web mail or Outlook?
I want it!!!!
The history & reasons:
I used to work at IBM and write step-by-step instructions for employees.
We all used Lotus Notes, which allowed me to create reveal / hide sections for each step of the instructions. That was very useful, as some employees required much less assistance than others. Anyone could just click on the section that pertained to them, follow the instructions and be done with it.
The emails appeared clean and concise, saved people time and in some cases confusion.
I would really like to make emails like that again. Thanks.

Does the shape of a handheld dynamic microphone's windscreen (i.e. a rounded top vs a flat top) have any effect on the sound, or is it just for aesthetics?

migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 24 '14 at 20:09
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
Aesthetics... and yes...
I could probably drum up some intelligent sounding reason for having one shape over another, but the shape is not going to determine the performance of the windscreen.
If something did change it's performance, it would be material, density, thickness. At least one of those aspects could be altered by shape I suppose.
Yes, it is just aesthetics; the sound of a handheld dynamic microphone's windscreen does not depend on the shape. It is just an accessory. The sound depends on the distance to the mic.

Radio.com Minimation: Ron Wood Recalls Mick Taylor Quitting the Rolling Stones
He did it at a party that he attended with Mick Jagger and his eventual replacement, Ron Wood.
Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Mick Taylor, Black Keys Collabs Highlight Rolling Stones' Pay-Per-View
The Rolling Stones lined up a bunch of big-name guests for their "One More Shot" pay-per-view concert on Saturday night, ranging from twenty-something superstar Lady Gaga to sixty-something legend Bruce Springsteen. But the biggest reaction from the crowd went to the guest with the least celebrity power: the band's former guitar player Mick Taylor.
Got Live If You Want It!: Five Great Live Rolling Stones Albums
Rolling Stones fans across the country are hoping that the band's "50 And Counting" tour will extend to more dates in 2013. But as of now, their U.S. dates are limited to this past Saturday's concert at Brooklyn's Barclays Center, and this week's shows at the Prudential Center in New Jersey. So if you can't make it to the New York area for the shows (or you can't afford the ticket prices, which are now well into the thousands of dollars), here are a few live Stones albums you can rock for a lot less money.
Rolling Stones Joined By Eric Clapton, Bill Wyman, Mick Taylor and Florence Welch For 2nd O2 Show
Last night, their guests were Eric Clapton (for a cover of Muddy Waters' "Champagne And Reefer") and Florence Welch, of the British band Florence & The Machine, for "Gimme Shelter."
The Rolling Stones Rock The O2 Dome with Mick Taylor, Bill Wyman, Mary J. Blige and Jeff Beck
Last night (November 25), The Rolling Stones played their first arena concert in six years at England's O2 Arena. The band played a two-hour-plus set, spanning their 50 year career.
'Crossfire Hurricane' Director Brett Morgen On Brian Jones, Getting The Keys To The Vault
After months of anticipation, on November 15 HBO premiered "Crossfire Hurricane," the much-talked about documentary about The Rolling Stones. CBS Local spoke to the film's director, Brett Morgen, about the access he got to all of the living Rolling Stones — Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ron Wood, as well as former members Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor — and the perks to getting access to their vaults.
The Rolling Stones' "GRRR!" Tracklist: 20 Songs They Missed
In stores this week is GRRR!, a career-spanning greatest hits set by The Rolling Stones. There are several versions of the collection available, including the 80-track "Super Deluxe" version. But with 50 years under their collective belt, even 80 songs doesn't seem enough. Here, we suggest a couple of other great Stones songs that could make it an even 100 (and there'd still be songs missing).
Five Setlist Requests For The Rolling Stones
At their two Paris gigs, the Stones stuck with some of the classics: "It's Only Rock and Roll (But I Like It)," "Miss You," "Tumbling Dice," "Start Me Up," "Midnight Rambler," "Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Brown Sugar" all made both shows, as did their new song "Doom and Gloom." Last night's gig added some other deep cuts, including "All Down The Line" from 1972's Exile On Main Street, and "You Got Me Rockin'" from 1994's Voodoo Lounge. But we have some requests for the band when they hit the arenas.
5 Important Points From Rolling Stone's Interview With The Rolling Stones
The Rolling Stones are celebrating their 50th anniversary with a photo book, HBO documentary and what everyone was hoping for; reunion shows. The band recently spoke with Rolling Stone magazine about the anniversary and upcoming shows for a feature that will be published in the November 8th issue. Before you get your hands on it and sit down for a lengthy read, here are five points you need to know about.
The Rolling Stones To Release 2 New Songs & A(nother) Greatest Hits Album
The Rolling Stones have two new songs, and they'll be available on a new collection called "GRRR!," due out on November 13. "Gloom And Doom" and "One Last Shot" were recorded at their recent sessions in Paris, France.

I am in the sign / sheetmetal fabrication industry. We use a Miller 350P pulse machine with a Alumapro XR gun. 90% of our welding is spot welds on .090 alumnum from the back side, then sanded and finished (painted)on the front side. The limitations of the Alumapro head tube, even though it rotates, makes it very difficult to reach many areas of projects. There is not a 10" flexible extension like the 30A spool gun so options are very limited. Has anyone modified a head tube to fit in tight spots or took a 30A flex head tube and retrofitted it to the Alumapro? Are there aftermarket options available in head tubes for the Alumapro that I am missing? Any suggestions are welcomed. Spent $2K on a gun that will not do everything I need it to do.

Can we have God in our lives without Religon?
Beleiving in God can be a very personal thing. Beleiving in Religon becomes a group behaviour. Religons at some level always get corrupted by Greed , Power etc. Yet humans always find a need for Religon and various religons have been around for centuries. More people have died in the name of religon than any other disease.
Oct 7 2013: I think one can have either, both or none.
There are bad god-images and beliefs that lead to horrible actions. There can be beautiful god images that make a person kind or spur him to good actions.
There can be religions that bring people together in peace and offer rituals of belonging to a group in harmony with the other groups in the world. As there can be religions that close upon themselves and bear hatred towards the out-group and engages their fanatics to commit horrible acts.
And people can choose to belong to a religion or not (or should be free to do so), as should people be free to believe in these things that seem fit to him/her. (though, on a personal note, I always feel double when people believe things that are known to be false, and don't recommend education towards such things. Many -if not most- god-images and beliefs about them are in this category)
Peter Law
Oct 5 2013: Hi Deepac.

I guess it depends on what one understands by "God".
Christianity amounts to a personal relationship with the literal, historic, person of Jesus Christ. He claims to have created the universe, and conquered death.
If you have that relationship, then you are a Christian, if not, not. People form committees & add bells & whistles, like with everything. That gives it the same religious "feel" as many other collections of bells & whistles. In essence all that's required is the relationship.
So, if the real, literal, God is the God of the bible, then no "religion" is required. Jesus himself was no lover of "religion".
If you have another "god", then the chances are, that religion will be a requirement.
:-)Oct 13 2013: Yes, absolutely. there are many prove of that.
Yes, for people who can handle it.
Other, you need religion to guide them. have moderate feasibility.
Other, you need religion to tell them what to do, even think, act. etc. rule, law.
More people have died in the name of religon than any other disease. what religions are talking about? Maybe very few religions. Most religions are peaceful. there are much more than 1000 of religions, more than 10,000 in history or more. only very very few are violent and kill in name of religion. most religion stop existing because, people convert them or worse. however there religions that do not convert people, or cause violent in it name of god, or religion. (only, most probably defense it idea when converting or worse ).
There are religions than do not follow order from priest or religious people, they have no real power.
Some religion do not have god or gods.
some religions have gods.
some religions have spirits or supernatural being.
Mostly when talk about religion we thinking probably most 4, most people do not even know more than 10 religions. can you name 10 or religion without wiki, or google it? How of you know more than there own religion or believe? .. or how many of you actually even know there know religions?
If study other religion or believe without judging them, we will be amaze. (from there perceptive). you will know the answer to your question.

Oct 10 2013: Deepak... when young, I could not make out difference between dharma and religion. Whomever I asked... was unaware of the answer! It was not dharma or religion I was after. I only wanted to reach God but was confused about following path of dharma or religion to reach God. It was only when I was about 15 years of age... I finally realized my folly! God Almighty could only be reached via path of spirituality... never religion or dharma!
- +1
I minutely observed in the initial stages of life that most human beings world over had a tendency to pray or worship God. None wanted to reach God or know God in totality. The inherent fear of leaving family midway was concern of most. As my resolve to reach God in this very life was absolute... I successfully followed path of pure spirituality as detailed in sacred Bhagavad Gita of Hinduism and finally reached God in the wee hours of third of August 1993 at 37 years of age.
In my spiritual travel I slowly realized... going to temples, churches or mosques carried no meaning! God Almighty existed within us in miniscule form as our soul atman, the spirit within! If I were to reach God in this very life, I had to reach, realize my true inner self... reach my soul atman, the spirit within! I also realized the difference between religion and spirituality. Religion primarily is the path to keep flock of human beings bonded together through moral and ethical values. In absence of religion... many human beings would go haywire!
To reach God we had to take the inner journey, the journey towards our soul atman, the spirit within! All my life I have never been to a temple, church or mosque. When I was young... I accompanied my mother to temples! But, all queries within me remained unresolved until I started travelling spiritual path.

Yes, I do believe that people who believe in a God can have him in their lives without Religion. I believe they can have the personal relationship with him that you wrote of in your question.
Possibly, many of the people who like to participate in public worship do so because they have a need to feel they belong and this is a natural way for people to feel. Others may be happy to keep their relationship with their God to themselves and that's ok, too.
Leigh :)Oct 7 2013: absolutely.God is and can remain in very fiber of your being. Organized religions are a community that can support your beliefs for the world will forever pock wholes in the existence of God.

Oct 6 2013: Only my $0.02. Believe nothing of what I say.....

A God that is IN your life is a God with a boundary. A God with a boundary is No God but something lesser or illusory. God, then, is that which is both Everything and No Thing.....which includes YOU. All that is seen and experienced are just riffs & variations of Consciousness expressing. In your case, you are Consciousness which is becoming aware of what 'it' truly is. Savy? You ARE God. You cannot welcome yourself into your own life. You are the Very Water in which you swim. You simply need to remember what was forgotten. Don't rush it.
Oct 6 2013: Agreed. We are beings of consciousness who are slowly waking up to who, and what, we are.
Da Way
Oct 6 2013: It sounds like you have faith in god but not people.

If you look at the evolution of all the religions historically regardless of the beliefs themselves, it is still down to survival of the fittest. In order for an idea to survive, it still needs to have people pass it on. And thus the most efficient route is 1) get funded, 2) spread, and 3) be adaptable with the changing times. If you look at all the major religions, they're all good at one or more of the above. In trying achieve these self-strengthening goals, the idea/religion will find organising people in a structural way the most effective. And hence organised religion is formed. (Just like a criminal organisation is more efficient than a thug on the streets).
I guess what i'm trying to say is, your point on religion getting corrupted by power, greed etc. is an inevitable consequence.
Furthermore, your individual connection with god may be the best method, and maybe most people do connect with god that way, but because it is personal, you don't hear about it. People don't publisize it. So the ones you observe will be the larger religious groups. In other words, your observation would be a sampling bias, if you like.
Yoka Feng
Oct 6 2013: I'd like to say you could have your god and should respect other people's religions and gods. If you don't trust any existence of gods but act and live kindly like what the gods telling you to do, it's also accepted.

It reminds me of a saying attributed to Gandhi, which as far as I remember is: "Some people are so poor, God comes to them in the form of bread".
Oct 6 2013: Thank you~ Joshua!
Thank you for your further explanation.:) They are the same in essence.
Leigh Lee
Oct 7 2013: Hello Yoka,
- +2
This is a reply to your previous comment, but my computer is playing up and is placing the reply here.
I also agree with you when you say "If you don't trust any existence of gods but act and live kindly like what the gods telling you to do, it's also accepted."
I was brought up as a Roman Catholic, but now as an adult, I'm in the process of trying to work out what and or who I believe in.
Two people (IRL - not on the internet) have made a comment to me in recent times, which has angered me.
They have told me that unless I am acting and living kindly (in your words) in the name of Jesus, that I am not a good person.
Whether I now believe in a God or not, I am still the same person - I don't suddenly change from a good to a bad person if I lose my belief in a God, but this is what they want me to believe. They feel this way about all people. To them, if you don't believe in God, you can never be a good person.
If there is a God, then he (or she) will be the one to judge me.
Oct 7 2013: :) I'm glad to see your different clothes on TED. How many do you have?:)
I can't agree with you more on your accurate description of the conflict in religions. I think those who force other people to change their beliefs are absolutely betrayers of all gods' spirits and intentions. Those people just want to take the advantage of their power in the name of so-called god to control people's mind. Those people are evils or monsters, they can incur people's hatred and revenge instead of the love from the god. And I strongly condemn some religions which always teach people to be pessimistic and give their lives up and to hate instead of love.
Oct 7 2013: Hi again Yoka,
Thank you for your reply.
I don't understand what you mean by "clothes"?
Leigh :)Oct 7 2013: :))))
You changed your clothes as Leigh Pee instead of Joshua's, that's it~!
Maybe I should have called it your sub-id? How do you call it in native English?
Oct 7 2013: I still don't understand :)
I'm not Joshua - I'm Leigh Pee. We're two different people. I don't know Joshua.
Leigh Pee :)Oct 7 2013: "This is a reply to your previous comment, but my computer is playing up and is placing the reply here." I misunderstood it but I think your reply was located in the correct place.:)
Oct 7 2013: Oh! I understand what you mean, now! :)Oct 7 2013: :)ThxOct 7 2013: Hi Leigh....
May I just say that many times, people without tact, may say things with right motivation, that comes out all wrong.
There are many wonderful people on this Earth. And the ultimate judge is God.
To come out and tell someone they are no good because they do not believe in Jesus, is at best naïve.
You cannot believe in something you know nothing about.
As a Christian we have the privilege to invite people to study the Bible if they want to learn what it is all about.
But, this is a personal choice. you can't ram faith down people's throat or give them an ultimatum.
God doesn't work that way. People and religion might work that way.....but not God. At least not the God that I have come to know.
There are wonderful principles inside the scriptures, that humans worldwide practice, whether or not they believe in the Bible as God's word.
I see you as a kind individual. Do not let other's words take affect your view of God.
This is just my humble opinion. I hope I have helped you in some small way. :) MaryOct 7 2013: Leigh,
I agree with you and Yoka, that living life kindly is the most important thing. We are here....now....as humans.
I was also born into a family practicing the catholic tradition, and questioned many of the teachings from the time I was a child. As a young adult, I abandoned that religion, because I perceived hypocrisy and so many contradictions. As an older adult, I researched, studied, and even practiced different religious and philosophical beliefs for about 20 years. At this time, with the information I have, I do not believe in a god, nor do I practice a religion. I respect those who choose to believe in a god, as long as that belief and/or practice does not adversely impact other people.
I wholeheartedly agree with you Leigh...."Whether I now believe in a God or not, I am still the same person ...".
Many people try to tell us that THEIR god, or THEIR religious beliefs are the one and only...we are going to hell if we do not believe as they do....we are not so good a person if we do not believe as they do...THEIR understanding of god is better than everyone else's understanding of god/no god.
Each of us, as individuals, are thinking, feeling, intelligent human beings, with the ability to make our own decisions, and those who try to tell us that THEY are "right", seem insecure with their own beliefs, in my humble perception.Oct 5 2013: Of course we can. We can have the idea of god idealized in service, in morality and in humanity - in any aspect of life to get inspired with. But it is a profoundly personal idea, a self talk and a spiritual way of making meaning of life by a person. Dr. Dawkins may call it delusion, but then a lot of human behavior is delusion including the idea of self, the denial of death and sacrifice for an ideal.
This personal god has no commandments, no edicts and no emissaries other than one's own person. This god can be a friend, a mother, a lover or a stone, a figurine or simply a figure. As long as one is happy and content with it, there is absolutely no problem. Even if there are as many as 330 millions of them ! :)
The only caveat is that my god is only as or no good as yours.Oct 11 2013: FYI: from Wikipedia; Religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence. Please note: Religion is not a belief in God, for example Buddhism believes god and after life is unknowable, and thus spending too much time thinking about it, is a waste of time. (To paraphrase.)
Personally if someone lives virtuously for the sake of their religion; rather I believe it or not, I'm not going to discourage their belief in it.Oct 10 2013: No,
because there is no god without religion
and only religion keeps the false alive
with the tenacity of cancer cells that
refuse to die.Oct 9 2013: Human beings are spiritual beings. Those who know this control so much in the realm of the spirit.
There is always a god in the life of a human being.
But the question is: are you worshipping the true God? Or are you bound to false gods who can not save your soul?
The worship of the only God, the maker of all things, is about a relationship. Spirit to spirit. It is not about religion.
Religion tends to promote certain human ideas about God and man; but when it comes to true worship and the knowledge of the Most High God, human ideas count for nothing.
This God is God, and can only be known by revelation, and worshiped on his own terms.
May our hearts and eyes be open. Amen.
Oct 10 2013: Do you feel that there is only one true form of worshipping God?
- 0
And 'revelation'......do you feel that people receive revelations today?
Or do you believe that with scripture we have all we need to learn about the Creator.
I hope you do not mind my questions Feyisayo. I am just curious.
Thank you,
Oct 10 2013: I believe in the God of the Bible. But the word of God is "Spirit and Life"; and "that which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit".
God reveals himself to those who seek him wholeheartedly; if the eyes of understanding is not opened by the work of the Holy Spirit, and if the human spirit is not ressurected to recieve from God, such person would just read the bible and remain blind.
Oct 10 2013: Some might consider your reply a non-answer. Most of what you have stated is in harmony with scriptural principles. I was hoping to receive a direct reply to my two questions. Never-the-less I respect that you opted for discreetness instead.Oct 7 2013: Religion is guide for us to know more about God and what His will for us. Religion is one way for us to interact with other fellow believer which makes our faith grow more. Religion unite us in praising and worshiping our God together. However, Religion itself sometimes derived us from our original purpose why we are in a certain religion. Sometime people become so committed in their religion rather than being more committed to God. People are more into following religious practices and tradition rather than knowing the core value of God's Word which are more important. People should ask themselves who are they worshiping, Is it God or Is it their Religion?
In regard with your questions "Can we have God in our lives without Religion?" My answer would be YES. God is omnipresent why imprisoned Him in a certain religion specially religions or denomination claiming only those who are member of their religion can go to heaven. Religion cannot save us only God can save us. What is far more important is our relationship with God. What is the point of religion if you don't have a personal relationship with God? but I don't want to depreciate the value of religion because I know Religion is essential for our spiritual growth. Spiritual warfare is not easy. Walking alone will be hard. There is strength in numbers.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
New International Version (NIV)
9 Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
10 If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
12 Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.

I have had them done at a local physic fair; I have had about 8 done in as many years, and yes the colors do change and reflects what is happening in my life. For example; I have MS and a few years ago I started a new medication, fixing my diet, exercising, and getting better, and my aura was mainly green and that is a healing color.
My profile pic has much more white then it ever had, that could be because I have found spiritual balance (White being a blend of all the colors) or maybe my ancestors took me up on request for them to join me in the photo. Personally I'm open to all possibilities, for I have seen too much to dismiss such things.
Scientifically speaking aura or Kirlian photography captures the electrical coronal discharges. (AKA Gas discharges) with emotions and health effecting the chemicals in your body and thus chemical make-up of the gas the body releases, I fail to see how it could be dismissed as faked.
Oct 8 2013: Don, I'm going to slip in here and ask you........your avatar done with aura photography...really neat.....when I access your profile, it's kind of dizzying to stare at it.
Have the colors changed as you take more and more pictures of yourself? Just curious, I had never heard of this type of photography before.
Mary. :)
Oct 9 2013: Oh, I'm so glad I clicked back on the conversation, or I would have missed your reply as a P.S.

Thank you so much for that explanation Don.
I have never seen anyone do this kind of photography.
I will have to look into it when I get the chance. Sounds really interesting.
I would imagine that the pictures were taken under the same conditions year after year....in a climate controlled setting? Otherwise the actual temperature of the surroundings would affect the picture? Or am I mistaken?
Thanks, MaryOct 7 2013: Deepak very Good Question!! I believe God is Trust, Hope. and one should not be departed with it.Oct 7 2013: God is just DOG looking in the mirror.
Religion is 'group think' defining views differently than others, as Krishnamurti points out very clearly.
Spirituality grows out of reverence grounded in Nature. Western Religion is rarely spiritual as it's essence is grounded in domination and control with a view that heaven is in the clouds allowing the trashing of Earth to continue unencumbered.
God, Dog and religion will not save us, only reverence can. Although there is little evidence we are smart enough to understand the difference.Oct 7 2013: Maybe we can if we meditate and think of the creation logically.Oct 7 2013: No ! No one can have the GOD. GOD is having every one instead... :)
"There are no facts, only interpretations." ~Friedrich Nietzsche
And the fact is "No body knows what GOD is !!" But surprisingly, every body claims this. All religions are just different Interpretations of that one FACT (THE GOD).
Deepak , your question reminds me a little fish who asks a question to its father, 'What is Ocean dad? How to know it? how it looks like? how to attain it? There are so many path (religions), what to follow? Father Fish simply smiles and says - 'Every path is within the ocean my dear little baby. Every path start in there and ends right in there within the Ocean. Either you may follow any one of it, or you may deny all o them. You are always in the Ocean" :)
I recommend you Deepak, to not to use word 'Believe' or 'Belief' as for as GOD is concern. These words generates the idea of Disbelief too. Believing in GOD without knowing it is the reason of so many different Religions. I my opinion *Faith* is proper word, faith must be there instead of belief system. Faith is a desire to know what cannot be known, belief is a desire to ignore what can be known. Faith leads to truth, belief misleads; it's delusional.
Knowing is the true path, true religion. Religions have been made for those little fish those think the Ocean can be known only by doing something. But all path must be let go by the passenger at the end of journey or he may not reach to the destination. Religioner is one who have been fallen in love with the PATH itself, he believes only his path is the right to the destination. I feel sorry for those poor little fishes....
Finally, No religion leads us to the GOD as they are merely pathways, but those pathways are necessary for those passengers those thinks they have to travel to reach the destination... :)Oct 7 2013: Religion was created because to develop some discipline . Since we evolved, religion defined some set of practices and helped people to follow them and lead healthy and sound minds. God is some sort of virtual character created to make people believe that there is something controlling which has the powers to punish when we go beyond these rules framed in the religion.
God, is the belief alone. if you believe a pen or flower to be God, yeah it is a god and it can give you whatever you want. Religion is some set of rules framed to help you grow your belief in believing the belief and hopeOct 7 2013: That'e the way every religion started........it's fine until and unless it becomes threat to others....Oct 7 2013: everyone's free to choose his God ,it can be for example his body ,mind ,power ,money...and the religion it will be the logic.
Oct 7 2013: I subscribe to the point of view that God is an undeniable fact to which people can choose how or even if they will acknowledge God. That is different from choosing your God. It also means that God is independent from your ideas about It.
Oct 7 2013: every religion has God and all religions belong to my God by intolerance.
every religion has God and every God Has religion by tolerance.Oct 6 2013: God gives its religion to a people for those people. When someone else adopts or is obliged to a faith not their own you get this question and these answers.Oct 6 2013: Yes but God may not have a name because religions gave him a name. There is no need for one of course but people feel more comfortable with one. One thing people have to realise is that God is not to be found at church but rather to be seen, heard and sensed everywhere at any time.Oct 6 2013: If you are a bit of a gnostic how can you get him out of your life?
Oct 6 2013: If you believe in God, then God is in your life whether you have religion or not. Therefore religion is not necessary for belief in, or living with, God.Oct 6 2013: deepak

Try having an accident and either injuring yourself or some one else.
The first words, and thoughts, "Oh god, why me?"
Having a God or multiple Gods gives anyone a solid Wall to lean upon.
Religions are man made. Started by Leaders who are fixated on
peoples problems with solutions they believe will work with faith*.
People are easily swayed (consider politics) and follow as sheep.
They enjoy telling their problems to others and getting absolution.
*Faith is a belief in something that cannot be changed by contrary evidence.
In world history, there are recorded 11,000+ Wars, and 11,000+ Religions.
Probably all financed (both Warring sides) by the same Banking Cartels.
I don't think of Religion as a disease. But after Politics, it could be.

I agree with you on the fervor in the formal religions, Because of the concept of "my religion worships the true god(s) than yours", it led to more deaths for wars between opposing religions than other reasons.
A person could have a belief about morality, human compassion or civic duties with or without a religion. That's really what matters in the peace with the other people and with himself.
The reason that people constantly try to imagine a super being is because there were so much unknown truth for our environment so that we wanted "some one to protect us", thus an image was born from our imagination, which I wouldn't call it a delusion,but rather it was an image made from one's mind.
In my opinion, we could have a "God" which should be constructed based on the logical definition from the most advanced knowledge we have up to this day. It is best to leave it as a personal thing, instead basing on the imagination of somebody else in the past.Oct 5 2013: Absolutely yes. It is the very best way to enjoy communion with God. Religion is a human construct susceptible to the whims and imaginings of 7-billion different people. Knowing God and enjoying him forever is the chief end of Man. Religion plays no part in that.Oct 5 2013: I've personally never felt much of a need for either, but I've known plenty of people whom were wanting for one while in abundance of the other.
Spirituality and organized religion are by no means joined at the hip. Both can be utilized independently, or together.
Or not at all, if you'd prefer. Atheists tend to act just like everyone else after all (minus the religious rituals), so I rather doubt its just religion keeping us all in line.Oct 5 2013: Hello Deepak,
Certainly you can have God in your life without religion; that is an exercise of your free will to live with spirituality as a priority in your life. If you make that choice by the way, it helps to have a spiritual discipline that energizes you.
Be careful though that you don't turn it into a religion-for-one, and thereby lose your power and ability to be surprised.

Name: Counterscreen for inverse agonists of the liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1; NR5A2): Luminescence-based cell-based high throughput dose response assay to identify nonselective inhibitors of the Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) promoter or luminescence assay artifacts.
The goal of this project is to identify modulators (inverse agonists) of the orphan nuclear receptor LRH-1, which has been implicated in cancer by enhancing proliferation and cell cycle progression and metabolic disorders through its regulation of genes involved cholesterol and bile acid homeostasis.
NR5A2 or Liver receptor homologue-1 (LRH-1) is a member of the NR5A, or Ftz-F1, subfamily V nuclear receptors for which there are four members (1). Murine LRH-1 was originally identified due to its sequence homology to the Drosophila Fushi tarazu factor-1 but orthologs have been subsequently identified in several other species including rat, chicken, horse, zebrafish and human (2-7). LRH-1, and its closest family member steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1, NR5A1), bind to identical DNA consensus sequences (response elements or REs) and both have the ability to bind phospholipids in their ligand binding domains (LBDs) (8-10). However, LRH-1 and SF-1 are expressed in different tissues and thus are considered likely to have non-overlapping, non-redundant functions. SF-1 expression is confined to steroidogenic tissues and adrenals where it regulates development, differentiation, steroidogenesis and sexual determination (5, 7, 11). LRH-1 is highly expressed in tissues of endodermal origin and its expression is essential for normal liver, intestine, and pancreas function. LRH-1 has also been shown to be expressed in the ovary and adipose tissue.
In a recent report, Chand and colleagues investigated the mechanism of action of LRH-1 in invasive breast cancer cells. They found that LRH-1 promotes motility and cell invasiveness in both ER-positive (MCF-7) and ER-negative (MDA-MB-231) breast cancer cells and similar effects were observed in non-tumorigenic mammary epithelial cells. Interestingly, both remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton and E-cadherin processing were observed when LRH-1 was over-expressed. These findings implicate LRH-1 in promotion of migration and invasion in breast cancer independent of estrogen sensitivity. Together these findings provided strong evidence that LRH-1 plays a significant role in tumor formation both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, the identification of potent and selective LRH-1 inverse agonists may provide new approaches for the treatment of cancer.

Assay Overview:
The purpose of this assay is to determine dose response curves of compounds deemed promising after beeing evaluated in single-dose, triplicate experiments in the LRH-1, SF-1, VP16 and StAR promoter assays (AIDs 651613, 651614, 651615 and 651611, respectively).
This assay is specifically designed to determine whether or not previously selected compounds are luminescence artifacts.
This assay determines dose response inhibition curves for compounds against the StAR promoter. This cell-based counterscreen employs HEK293 cells transfected only with a luciferase reporter driven by the Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR) promoter. As designed, compounds that inhibit general transcription, are luminescence artifacts, will prevent activation of the 5xSFREStAR-luciferase reporter, leading to a decrease in well luminescence. Compounds are tested in triplicate using a 10-point 1:3 dilution series starting at a maximum nomimal test concentration of 36 uM.
Protocol Summary:
Seven million HEK293 cells were seeded in T-175 flasks 23 mL of DMEM media supplemented with 10% v/v fetal bovine serum and 1% v/v Anti-Anti. Flasks were then incubated for 48 hours at 37 C, 5% CO2 and 95% relative humidity (RH). The day prior to run the assay, cells were harvested using TrypLE, resuspended in fresh media at a density of 1 million cells per mL and seeded into new T-175 flasks (23 mL per flask). After being allowed to attach for one hour at 37 C, 5% CO2 and 95% RH, cells were transfected with 1 mL of preincubated mix of serum-free OptiMEM containing 23 ug of the pGL4.31 reporter plasmid, 100 ng of the Gal4-VP16 expression vector and 80 uL of transfection reagents. Twenty four hours post transfection, cells were harvested using 5 mL of TrypLE and resuspended at a concentration of 750,000 cells per mL in phenol-red free DMEM media supplemented as described above.
The assay was started by dispensing 5 uL of cell suspension into each well of a white, solid-bottom 1536-well plate using a flying reagent dispenser (i.e. 3,750 cells per well). The first two columns received non-transfected cells only as a control for background luminescence (no StAR promoter activity). Cells were then treated with 18 nL/well of test compoundsor DMSO as a negative control (final concentration 0.36%) using a PinTool transfer unit (GNF). Plates were then placed in the incubator at 37 C, 5% CO2 and 95%RH. Twenty four hours later, plates were removed from the incubator and equilibrated to room temperature for 10 minutes. Luciferase was detected by adding 5 uL per well of ONE-Glo luciferase detection reagent. After a 15 minutes incubation time, light emission was measured with the ViewLux reader (PerkinElmer).
The percent inhibition for each compound was calculated as follows:
%_Inhibition = ( 1 - ( Median_Positive_Control - Test_Compound ) / ( Median_Positive_Control - Median_Negative_Control ) * 100
Test_Compound is defined as wells containing test compound.
Low_Control is defined as wells containing DMSO.
High_Control is defined as wells containing untransfected cells.
For each test compound, percent inhibition was plotted against compound concentration. A four parameter equation describing a sigmoidal dose-response curve was then fitted with adjustable baseline using Assay Explorer software (Accelrys Inc). The reported IC50 values were generated from fitted curves by solving for the X-intercept value at the 50% activation level of the Y-intercept value. In cases where the highest concentration tested (i.e. 36 uM) did not result in greater than 50% activation, the IC50 was determined manually as greater than 36 uM.
PubChem Activity Outcome and Score:
Compounds with an IC50 greater than 10 uM were considered inactive. Compounds with an IC50 equal to or less than 10 uM were considered active.
Any compound with a percent activity value < 50% at all test concentrations was assigned an activity score of zero. Any compound with a percent activity value >= 50% at any test concentration was assigned an activity score greater than zero.
Activity score was then ranked by the potency of the compounds with fitted curves, with the most potent compounds assigned the highest activity scores.
The PubChem Activity Score range for inactive compounds is 100-0. There are no active compounds.

Frank Olenski of Shelton loved birthday cake. And
anniversary cake, and wedding cake—and just
about any type of cake connected to a family
celebration. "Dad always looked forward to family parties,
and loved being with his five children and grandchildren,"
remembers his younger daughter, Gloria DeBernardo, also
of Shelton.
Frank also loved his country—he was a proud World War II
Navy veteran. A local businessman for more than 30 years,
he founded a second business in retirement and volunteered
in the community. Frank and his wife, Eleanor, "lived the
American Dream," says Gloria.
But when Frank entered his mid-80s, his outgoing personality
disappeared. "He became very anxious, difficult and
self-absorbed. He didn't want to be around his family, and
if we did convince him to join us at a family function,
he would want to go home 20 minutes after we arrived,"
says Gloria. "These were events he used to look forward
to and enjoy. We were worried because this wasn't the
father we knew."
Frank's doctor prescribed medication for depression
and anxiety, but it didn't make a difference. "As a nurse,
I had complete faith in these types of medications, so I was
surprised when my dad didn't respond to them. I remember
telling him, 'You can't be that tough of a nut to crack,'"
says Gloria.
Then, based on a recommendation from Frank's doctor,
Eleanor and the children decided to bring Frank to the
Center for Geriatrics at Bridgeport Hospital for a geriatric
assessment. "A geriatric assessment is the first step in figuring
out the right care for an older adult," says Geriatrician
Vivian Argento, MD. "It can reveal the reasons for many
changes an older adult may experience as they age." The full
assessment, which takes approximately 90 minutes, includes
a physical exam; tests and screenings to evaluate the patient
physically, emotionally and mentally; a review of all medications
and supplements the patient is taking; an interview
with family members to help identify problems and solutions;
and a comprehensive planning session with the
patient, family and physician.
Dr. Argento and her team evaluated Frank, adjusted his
medication and set up a wellness plan for him that included
doctor visits and activities at a local adult day care center.
According to Gloria, her father's transformation following
the assessment was nothing short of miraculous.
"I call them the Magic Team," says Gloria. "They succeeded
in finding the right regimen for Dad and brought
the sparkle and smile back to his face." Frank was finally
enjoying life again. He smiled. He made jokes. He looked
forward to family gatherings.
"The biggest breakthrough I remember was the morning
he asked me, 'So, how are your girls?'" remembers Gloria,
referring to her daughters. "That's when I knew he wasn't
stuck in his head anymore and that the changes
Dr. Argento and her team delivered were making a big
difference in his life."
Later, when Frank became permanently home bound due
to ataxia (lack of muscle coordination, loss of balance,
tendency to fall), getting to and from a doctor's office for
appointments became impossible. As part of the Center
for Geriatrics' comprehensive services, Frank qualified for
the Center's Home Visit Program.
Circa 1950: Frank was the proud proprietor of White Walk
Market for 30 years and, in semi-retirement, Glori-Lyn
Meat Specialty Foods, both in Stratford.
Through the Center for Geriatrics' Home Visit Program,
Bridgeport Hospital geriatric specialists (physicians and
nurse practitioners) visit the patient's home, take care
of any health issues, provide basic tests and home blood
draws, coordinate care and gauge home safety. "For many
older adults, a trip to the doctor's office can be very
difficult due to physical or mental health conditions that
prevent them from leaving their homes. As a result, housebound
men and women may not get the medical attention
they need, until a routine health problem escalates into
an emergency. By providing care at home, many of our
patients get healthcare earlier," says Chief of Geriatrics
Beata Skudlarska, MD. "And getting care early can help
avoid an Emergency Department visit or prevent development
of a serious medical condition."
"To have Dad's care at home was a godsend for all of us,"
says Gloria. "He was able to stay where he and my mother
wanted to be."
Frank passed away in 2008, but his success in the Home
Visit Program prompted his wife Eleanor to pursue the
same in-home care option when she needed it. Even at 90,
Eleanor was able to stay in her own home and receive
medical care for her mounting health issues. "If it hadn't
been for the Home Visit Program, Mom would have
been in the hospital or in a nursing home," says Gloria.
"One of us visited her nearly every day and checked in by
phone all the time, but with full-time jobs and families—
we're part of the Sandwich Generation—caring for her
ourselves wasn't an option. Mom loved being at home,
and we knew she was well cared for by Dr. Argento and
the Center for Geriatrics team." Eleanor recently moved to
an assisted living facility where Dr. Argento will continue
to care for her as her primary physician.
When questions arise between visits, Gloria or Eleanor call
upon Geriatric Case Manager Dori Rogers, RN, MSN,
for answers and guidance. "That's what makes this program
golden. We have the support of the Center's entire team,
with help just a phone call away. Dori handles my concerns
with such compassion. She or one of the geriatricians gets
back to me the same day," explains Gloria.
The Geriatric Home Visit Program includes a comprehensive assessment and follow-up visits
by a geriatrician (physician) or geriatric nurse practitioner. Home visits alternate between
the physician and the nurse practitioner, so both healthcare providers get to know their patients.
The Geriatric Home Visit Program becomes the primary care physician for these patients.
If hospitalization is necessary for Geriatric Home Visit Program patients, Bridgeport Hospital provides that care.

daughter Linda, Frank and Eleanor, son John, son Ted and
daughter Gloria.
Gloria treasures a photo she has of her father, which was
taken the day his smile came back. "What I love about
that picture is that it reflects the return of his patient, caring
soul. I'll never forget the smile he would flash my way
across the room over a slice of cake at a family gathering.
Or, later in life, the wink and a smile he would shoot me
through the bathroom mirror while shaving, as I helped
him get ready each morning," she says.
"I would have hated to see my father pass away depressed
and anxious. It was so special to see him relaxed and at ease
in the last chapter of his life," Gloria continues. "Thanks
to Dr. Argento and the Center for Geriatrics, we got him
back. What a gift to allow him to remain at home to the
end. This is the way to treat our aging loved ones."
What is a Geriatrician?
Geriatricians are physicians who specialize in the care of older adults. Geriatricians focus on improving
their patients' quality of life and functional ability.
Specific training and certification in geriatric medicine is required. The highest level of qualification
is participation in a Geriatric Fellowship, which ranges from one to three years of study after completing
a residency, and a specialty Board Examination to assure expertise in the field of geriatrics.
All of Bridgeport Hospital's geriatricians are Fellowship-trained and have successfully passed their
Board Examinations.
Bridgeport Hospital Geriatricians:
Beata Skudlarska, MD, Chief of Geriatrics
Vivian Argento, MD • Marina Blagodatny, MD • Mithil Choksey, MD
Internists working with the Geriatric Group:
Warren Heller, MD • Karine Toumanian, MD

I want same UUID for each record !
I know how to do it in two separate sql-s, but I'm almost sure that could be done with one sql only (creating & using varaible inside sql).
How to do it, if possible ?Found a flower or bug and don't know what it is ?
agrozoo.net galery
if you don't spot search button at once, there is search form:
agrozoo.net galery search
Well, I don't know how to do it in one query, but I know how to do it all in a single operation.
As you know, I don't use PHP. That code will work from the MySQL command line or from a MySQL query issued via JSP or ASP or ASP.NET code. But I understand that PHP does not allow multiple MySQL queries per call to mysql_query( ) so I don't know how you would do it with PHP.Code:SET @u = UUID(); UPDATE t SET f = @u WHERE id = 5;
Be yourself. No one else is as qualified.

An electrocardiogram is used to monitor your heart. Each beat of your heart is triggered by an electrical impulse normally generated from special cells in the upper right chamber of your heart. An electrocardiogram — also called an ECG or EKG — records these electrical signals as they travel through your heart. Your doctor can use an electrocardiogram to look for patterns among these heartbeats and rhythms to diagnose various heart conditions.
An electrocardiogram is a noninvasive, painless test. The results of your electrocardiogram will likely be reported the same day it's performed, and your doctor will discuss them with you at your next appointment.
An electrocardiogram is a painless, noninvasive way to diagnose many common types of heart problems. Your doctor may use an electrocardiogram to detect:
An electrocardiogram is a safe procedure. There may be minor discomfort, similar to removing a bandage, when the electrodes taped to your chest to measure your heart's electrical signals are removed. Rarely, a reaction to the electrodes may cause redness or swelling of the skin.
A stress test, in which an ECG is performed while you exercise or after you take medication that mimics effects of exercise, may cause irregular heartbeats or, rarely, a heart attack. These side effects are caused by the exercise or medication, not the ECG itself.
There isn't any risk of electrocution during an electrocardiogram. The electrodes placed on your body only record the electrical activity of your heart. They don't emit electricity.
No special preparations are necessary. However, avoid drinking cold water or exercising immediately before an electrocardiogram. Cold water can produce potentially misleading changes in one of the electrical patterns recorded during the test. Physical activity, such as climbing stairs, may increase your heart rate.
An electrocardiogram can be done in the doctor's office or hospital, and is often performed by a technician. After changing into a hospital gown, you'll lie on an examining table or bed. Electrodes — often 12 to 15 — will be attached to your arms, legs and chest. The electrodes are sticky patches applied with a gel to help detect and conduct the electrical currents of your heart. If you have hair on the parts of your body where the electrodes will be placed, the technician may need to shave the hair so that the electrodes stick properly.
You can breathe normally during the electrocardiogram. Make sure you're warm and ready to lie still, however. Moving, talking or shivering may distort the test results. A standard ECG takes just a few minutes.
If you have a heartbeat irregularity that tends to come and go, it may not be captured during the few minutes a standard ECG is recording. To work around this problem, your doctor may recommend another type of ECG:
Usually, your doctor will be able to tell you the results of your ECG the same day it's performed. If your electrocardiogram is normal, you may not need any other tests. If the results show there's a problem with your heart, you may need a repeat ECG or other diagnostic tests, such as an echocardiogram. Treatment depends on what's causing your signs and symptoms.
Your doctor will look for a consistent, even heart rhythm and a heart rate between 50 and 100 beats a minute. Having a faster, slower or irregular heartbeat provides clues about your heart health, including:

Location Description
Every cabin has a front and back entrance, and a covered porch for viewing the rock formations, the Velvet Ridge, cedars, and pinion pines. The sandstone bluffs and rock formations a short distance to the South are especially enchanting. As the early morning sun changes its position in the sky, one can sit and watch these sandstone mountains turn bright orange, then coral, and finally almost a pure white.
From the veranda or the cabin windows, guests are likely to see chipmunks frolicking in the trees, rabbits scurrying by and blue jays fluttering in the azure sky.
It is difficult to portray the beauty that surrounds Pine Shadows. It is a 15-minute drive to Capitol Reef National Park and its sheer-walled canyons, sandstone domes, and its red rock cliffs. It is a 10-mile drive to the entrance of Dixie National Forest and the Boulder Mountain Range with their sparkling mountain lakes and pine and aspen groves.

Mindy Lam's illness came on suddenly. She was in New York, just back from a cruise on which she did a trunk show for her jewelry business, when swelling and difficulty walking put her in a wheelchair. A few days later, her symptoms sent her to the emergency room.
While in the hospital, her heart stopped, and doctors had to shock her twice to get it going again.
"It was really scary," said her daughter, Kelly Sia. "A few days later, she couldn't even walk."
A doctor diagnosed Lam with kidney failure due to untreated high blood pressure. She had not felt sick until her kidney was damaged beyond repair.
"She didn't know the seriousness — none of us did," Sia said.
Doctors in New York saved Lam's life, and she was transferred to the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore. When Sia arrived at the hospital, her mother was asleep, but a nurse gave her more bad news.
"The nurse said it was actually her kidney that failed, and said she might need a donor soon," Sia recalled. "I volunteered the first second I heard that."
At that time, Sia was only 16 — too young to be legally able to donate her kidney. She and other relatives offered to donate, but Lam refused, thinking it would be too risky.
For almost three years, Lam took dialysis treatments at least four times a day, while Sia tried to convince her to accept her kidney for a transplant when she turned 18, if she was a match.
"I grew up within a night," Sia said. "... I realized that my mom might die one day. We never think of it until it's close to us. I realized I can't abuse my mom's love; I can't take it for granted."
Sia, now 19, has lived in Rockville with her mother since Sia's freshman year of high school. While their relationship had not always been good, Sia said she gained respect for her mother after seeing how hard she worked to provide for her. Going through Lam's illness together changed their relationship for the better.
"I was able to take care of her and stay next to her, and that was some kind of comfort to me," Sia said.
Last summer, Sia went to Hong Kong to visit her grandparents and extended family, but she thought of her mother, who hadn't seen her parents in five years because she was too sick to travel.
"It hurt so much to know that my mom was missing so much," she said.
When she returned home, Sia renewed her efforts to convince her mother to accept the transplant.
"(I said), she has to consider, if she was to die tomorrow, she might not see me grow up," Sia said.
A cancer scare and learning that Sia was a match finally convinced Lam that a kidney transplant was the right decision. Doctors' reassurances and the hope of being able to visit her parents in Hong Kong also helped make up her mind.
On Feb. 15, Lam and Sia went through surgery for Sia to donate one of her kidneys to her mother. Compared to the three long years of dialysis, Sia said recovery has been "like snapping a finger."
"Before the surgery, my mom would walk in the mall, and she would get tired really quickly," she said. "... After the surgery, within two months, I was able to get her to go to a gym with me, and she was able to walk on the treadmill for a whole mile."
Lam also has started traveling for her business as a jewelry designer again. She said she still is regaining her strength and has to be careful of what she eats and to keep on her medication schedule, but she can be more active than before the transplant.
"I pretty much can go back to normal life," Lam said. "I don't have to worry (about) when I have to do my dialysis and rush home to do that."
Lam agrees that going through kidney failure, dialysis and transplant surgery has brought her closer to her daughter.
"It makes me and my family and all the people surrounding me much closer," she said. "Whoever would go through this with me, we are very close."
Sia said she and her mother still argue, but they love each other. She hopes to remind other children to appreciate their parents.
She also wants to raise awareness of the many people still waiting for organ transplants.
"In Maryland, the wait could be up to two to eight years," she said.
Despite her three-year ordeal, Lam said she has been blessed.
"I want people to know, no matter how (bad) they are, how sick they are, we can walk through this with the people who love us," she said. "We have to be strong and fight. ...
"We might miss three years of Mother's Days and birthdays, but we have much more to go."

Anyway, after retirement, dad was able to truly exercise his creative muscles. Though he wasn't trying to be environmentally responsible, a lifetime of what I call trash shopping (perhaps inspired by a thrifty Jewish father) led him to begin to create amazing sustainable sculptural masterpieces. His assemblages use materials collected from garage sales, dumpsters, and recycling centers.
One series which has garnered a lot of attention from friends and neighbors is his line of folksy Functional Found Art Assemblages (known to the rest of us as clocks). I have one hanging in my building in Brooklyn. Coincidentally, I also design clocks and watches, and I absolutely adore my fathers work. I asked him to help me write up a description of his process so that we could post it on instructables to encourage and inspire others. I can't imagine anything greener than creating something useful and beautiful entirely from recycled and reclaimed materials, and I'm sure there are a few people out there who will appreciate this idea.
Be sure to read all the steps before you start, as the steps are not necessarily chronological so much as logical. Steps 2-5 outline what you will need to collect. The only tools you'll need are a saw, a ruler, a couple pencils and some string, paintbrushes, masking tape, double sided tape, and maybe a protractor and/or compass if you want to be fancy. Also some other methods of attachment like screws, nails, and/or glue depending upon the specifics of our design. Steps 6-9 describe the preparation and assembly process, some of which might be started before you've completed steps 2-5.
super stuff... my eyes are gonna be open for number makers from today :D

Co-founded in 1944 by the late Mary Day and Lisa Gardiner, The Washington School of Ballet (TWSB) is recognized nationally and internationally for its classical training and dedication to excellence in dance and dance education. The school trains more than 700 students each year at its Northwest Campus studios on Wisconsin Avenue, Northwest and an additional 350 students at its Southeast Campus housed at The Town Hall Education, Arts and Recreation Center (THEARC). The Athenaeum in Alexandria, Virginia, provides a third campus for the school, serving 50 more young students.
The Washington School of Ballet curriculum includes pre-ballet, boys' classes, and a graded program for children through young adulthood, many of whom wish to pursue dance as a career. The school also offers a Professional Training Program that brings together especially talented students from around the world for intensive training under The Washington School of Ballet's renowned faculty. All three campuses share a syllabus, formulated by School Director Kee Juan Han, to ensure the same high caliber training at each location. Both the Northwest and Southeast campuses also offer comprehensive adult programs.
The Washington School of Ballet's Northwest Campus on Wisconsin Avenue shares studios with the internationally-acclaimed Washington Ballet. Students catch glimpses of company rehearsals and can earn the opportunity to perform in company productions. Notable alumni from The Washington School of Ballet include Virginia Johnson, Kevin McKenzie, Amanda McKerrow, Shirley MacLaine, Georgia Engel, and Chelsea Clinton. The Washington School of Ballet students have gone on to dance professionally with The Washington Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, New York City Ballet, Dutch National Ballet, Houston Ballet, Boston Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, and numerous other companies all over the U.S. and the world.

Quote: Silk Road 2 moderator Defcon reported in a forum post that hackers have used a transaction malleability exploit to hack the marketplace. The hackers stole over 88,000 bitcoins worth $41,474,415, emptying the sites escrow account.
The site used a central escrow service to send bitcoins from buyers to sellers. The hackers exploited the transaction malleability bug essentially a way users can mask transfers and ask for the same amount of BTC multiple times to clean out this wallet. This is the same bug that forced Mt. Gox to halt all withdrawals and recent updates have made average bitcoin wallets secure against this sort of attack. According to the site, hackers used the Silk Roads automatic transaction verification system to order from each other and then request refunds for unshipped goods. Hackers were able to use the transaction malleability bug because the Silk Road used only transaction ID to confirm the transfer of bitcoins. You can read more about the problem here.
They supposedly run an automated refund system for their vendors that relies on the TXID to verify transactions. Their claim is that six vendors colluded to exploit that system by ordering from one another and then submitting circular refund requests.
Defcon is calling on the hackers to return the bitcoin. Given the right flavor of influence from our community, we can only hope that he will decide to return the coins with integrity as opposed to hiding like a coward, the moderator wrote.
The sites users are currently attempting to track down the thief. Writes Defcon:
Quote: # Attacker 1: (Responsible for 95% of theft)
Suspected French, responsible for vast majority of the thefts. Used the following six vendor accounts to order from each other, to find and exploit the vulnerability aggressively.

Kosher Salads & Salad Dressings
|Beet Salad
4 ounces goat cheese (crumbled)
Combine dressing mixture with beets and refrigerate; When ready to serve, mix cheese, beets and pecans. Then mix with greens or serve beet mixture over greens
Yield: Serves 3 - 4
Recipes: Salad, Beets, Dairy, Kosher
*Oven-Roasted Fresh Beets
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place rack in middle of oven.
Wash and scrub the whole beets to clean off any dirt. Leave the beet whole unless you have some extra large ones (if extra large, cut in half). Trim off the stems (leafy tops) and ends of the beets. Reserve beet leaves for a recipe using them.
On a large baking sheet, cover with aluminum foil. Place prepared beets, in a single layer, on top. Toss lightly with some olive oil to coat the beets. Place another large sheet of aluminum foil on top of the beets and crunch up the sides of the aluminum foil together to seal.
Place in oven and roast approximately 1 hour (depending on the size of your beets) or until tender and easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife. Remove from oven and take off the top foil. Set aside to cool enough to handle. When cool enough to handle, peel the skin off. They should peel easily by hand, but you can use a paring knife if you want.
Either store in the refrigerator whole or cut each beet into slices (as thick or thin as you prefer).
