The post Some thoughts on Debian and Ubuntu appeared first on Nerd H*ck.]]>
$100? Yeah right. Hey Linux Guy, Linux is free, right?
Yeah, just pop in this LIVE CD.
A fresh Ubuntu installation gives you everything to get started: a text editor, office suite, music player, a browser and email client, plus Ubuntu Software Center to find and install anything you're missing. The selling points I always drove home were that new users didn't have to touch the command line, and advanced knowledge wasn't needed to run their exotic printer or graphics card. Just assume everything just works out of the box. These were the greatest strengths of Ubuntu. You had a free, accessible, safe choice for people to get warmed up to Linux.
After about 8 years of being enthusiastic about Ubuntu, I mostly switched back to Debian.
Ubuntu had it's first launch in 2004 after being forked from Debian. You can really see how the two have strayed: Debian continues to focus on stability, and Ubuntu works on shinier features, like integration in its phones and tablets. Growing pains are now where Ubuntu suffers the most. Performance complaints pepper message boards and blogs. I've written my fair share of those. In 2012, Canonical made a bizarre choice to alienate their users by including Amazon search results in the Unity shell.
Some oversight also plagues core features. I've seen bug report boxes showing up within an hour of a fresh install, and the installation wizard on the live CD still neglects to activate your swap partitions, leading to crashes when you're low on memory.
Ubuntu is straying from its strengths. Microsoft did roughly the same thing. Sales figures aside, I know a lot of Windows enthusiasts that will proclaim love of Windows XP and 7 over Vista and 8 any day. Is this resistance to progress, or just progress in the wrong direction?
Microsoft decided to build upward, adding more features before stabilizing existing ones. Some were gimmicky: Aero for eye-candy. Some were useful: ASLR, randomizing memory allocation to increase security. Windows 10 lets you add dynamic apps on the start menu, but does this provide any productivity advantage to the user? Does it crash less, work better, increase security, or provide any other tangible benefits? (There may be some, help me find them.)
Debian doesn't build up endlessly, it fortifies.
One of the biggest complaints you'll find from Debian users is that the stable branch has some old packages. GIMP is 6 releases behind so to get the newest version I would have to switch to the unstable branch of Debian. (Even then, I've found the "unstable" branch of Debian 8 is more stable than Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.) Your system will be reliable and fast at the cost of some software looking rusty. The difference really is palpable on virtual machines and netbooks. If you want to breath life into an old computer, Debian has you covered. Just keep in mind you can't be shy of digging into a terminal to install software.
This isn't a sales pitch. Ubuntu 14.04 is still on my desktop and I plan on using it until it reaches its end of life. Computers are ultimately tools, and so are the operating systems and other software you choose. Rather than endlessly looking for the ideal toolkit, you should settle on one and keep practicing. So that is my recommendation.

Sorry if you were burdened by this email by my automatic newsletter sender. I will only send these manually now. Atomic-specific updates are at the bottom.
Using an Arduino Micro and some low-level port register writing you can drive TM1803-based tri-color LED string lights. The challenge was getting the timing correct on the output pin. An extra CPU instruction or two introduced from refactoring can throw off the timing since there's only around 200ns tolerance on the RZ line. Fortunately I had my Tektronix Oscilloscope (pictured, BEBOP) to spy on the signal and nail it down. I may someday use what I learned here to write a faster driver for the TFTv2.
I'm taking a break from Arduino stuff for a while, though and focusing on my bigger projects. I've written up a great deal of the protocols and specs for the Distributed Neural Network AI project, including the machine vision, voice recognition, and node setup scripts. The purpose of this project is to have a self-hosted neural network AI that can delegate pieces of its service over Multipath TCP; the goal here is Jarvis meets Siri meets IBM Watson, all hosted on your own consumer hardware. I still have some editing to do so the papers will be published sometime around August. I've spent a great deal of time and care working on each individual system and unifying them in a useful way is very challenging.
Atomic is still at the top of my project list. Most of the hard grunt work is finished, which really just leaves synchronization and some UI adjustments left before the initial release. I split synchronization tasks off into a separate tool. This may seem like a weird choice, but there are actually multiple command line tools already–and scheduling synchronization in a cron job or Windows Task Scheduler would be a piece of cake if you could call it without arguments.
I just sent out the first newsletter about this app. If you'd like to hear more updates please sign up on the project page.

The post Banish Procrastination appeared first on Nerd H*ck.]]>
I found a direct correlation between how long I put something off and how important that thing is. Let's think about this: You probably need to do something right at this moment. But you're not doing it. Instead, you might be trying to judge the "not-so-bad" negative consequences of skipping it altogether, or at least pushing it off until later. But if you worked on it right now it would instantly reduce your stress. So why not now?
Don't feel guilty. You have your mind's bias, years of habits, and a feeling of fear all working against you. You may also be dealing with depression or your needs are not being met. Plus you have a million other things to do. You'll get that thing done sooner or later.
Even though you've tried so many times to get de-procrastinated you can still catch a snag along the path. After writing my last post, I thought I was very close to overcoming this debilitating problem. I had slimmed down my TODO list and focused on the more important goals I needed to achieve. Then a holiday hit. I went too long without working, broke my streak and went back to my old habits.
So then I developed new habits. A lot of them, and they all work together to make sure I stay on track. Here goes:
The more effective you are at finishing things, the more time and energy you have to do the things you want to do. So keeping a healthy rhythm with a multi-pronged approach might just be what you need to get yourself out of the rut.
If one strategy does not help you today, try another. Keep developing your own through practice. With persistence, I hope you can banish your procrastination habit.

Honibe Honey Lozenges are for the temporary relief of sore throat and nasal congestion. Honibe Honey Lozenges are only 10 calories per piece (2.5 g), have no sugar added and are available in blister packages of 10 lozenges. Honibe Honey Lozenges are conveniently sized for easy transport in pockets, cars, briefcases or purses.
"We are thrilled to announce that our lozenges, the world's first lozenge made with pure honey, will be launching in Loblaw stores nationwide" stated John Rowe, President of Island Abbey Food Ltd. "Having our Honibe Honey Lozenges listed within the largest grocery chain in Canada is a milestone for our Honibe brand." "We are excited to develop a partnership with a company built upon nearly a century of success within the grocery industry."
The Honibe product line has received major national and international recognition with the Honey Drop being awarded with the most prestigious food award in the world at SIAL Paris 2010, the Global SIAL d'Or (Gold Medal), which recognized the Honibe Honey Drop as "The Best New Food Product in the World". Using the same proprietary technology as the award winning Honey Drop, the Honibe product line has since expanded to include Honey Delights candies, Honey Sprinkles for cooking and baking, and Honey Lozenges for coughs and colds. Honibe was subsequently honoured with the "Canada Brand Business Award" at SIAL (Toronto) in 2011. Honibe was also featured on one of Canada's most popular television shows, CBC's Dragons' Den, where entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to savvy business investors. The Dragons smelled money in the honey pot as Honibe was offered one of the largest deals in the shows history. Most recently, the Canadian Space Agency selected the Honibe Honey Drop as one of its 'Snacks For Space' and the Honey Drop will be going to the International Space Station with Canadian Commander Chris Hadfield's 2012 mission.

Made very well and great quality!
This shower curtain is very expensive-looking. It is made of quality silk-look fabrics, and has real embrouidery, not just a printed design (a vine design in the green panels). I needed a shower curtain with these colors to match a bedspread that was mostly green and gold. This matched perfectly. It is also easy to find towels that match these colors!
Loved it. Looks even better at home than it did on line.
We remodeled our bathroom with khaki, white, green, and gold colors and the shower curtain was a perfect match. It was made of a great fabric and just really improved the looks of the bathroom overall. I can always depend on Walmart for everything!!!
Just had my apartment painted, and the bathroom was in special need of shower curtains with a pop; these did the trick!
I purchased this shower curtain and can say am very pleased, the quality is very nice, and the colors are beautiful, looks like it is expensive, love the material and design, would love to find a valance that matches this curtain, won't have a problem with that though because of the colors , I can match easily, I would recommend this to anyone!
I love this shower curtain. The colors match perfect and the quality is very nice.
True colors and description was accurate. Nice quality but even after being washed it needed to be ironed because it had lots of wrinkles.
needs to be ironed as it is very wrinkled when first opened.
Beautiful shower curtain. Very sheer and had to iron it but otherwise just what I was looking for. Put a thick shower liner behind it and it is perfect.
I wasn't sure about ordering a shower curtain online, but it is beautiful! The color is a bit different from how it looks in the photo, as I thought it had yellow in it, but that part is more Kakki. It really brings my tropical theme together and I am very satisfied!
It was true to color and great quality!
I Love this shower curtain...
Very nice shower curtain, I wish there were towels to match.
I like the effect this has in my bathroom, which is painted gold. Some of the panels are quite sheer, so I backed it with a beige fabric liner. Looks good. Had to iron it, will probably be easier to iron after it is washed!
The color is different

Mobile computing systems, multimedia content players and medical electronics are some of the applications that are driving strong growth in VLSI technology. Although the nanoscale CMOS Field Effect Transistor (FET) is going strong with room for further scaling, other nanoelectronics technologies like Multigate FET, Graphene FET, Tunnel FET, are being researched widely as possible successors. Though the key issues in design such as managing power consumption, leakage, thermal effects, process variation, reliability and security remain the same, newer technologies provide additional levers to address those problems. However, integrating new solutions with current methodologies, whereas producing robust and efficient chips with both high-design productivity and manufacturing yield remains a challenge. With this context in mind, the Special Issue on 'esign Methodologies for Nanoelectronic Digital and Analog Circuits' has been brought to serve VLSI researchers and design engineers.

Al Wasoof released after being arrested in Sweden
The great Syrian singer George Al Wasoof is released after a long night he spent arrested and kept at the police department in Statham Sweden. Al Wasoof is in great despair from being arrested.
It was revealed that the police department had received a phone call from a mysterious person saying that the great Arab singer has cocaine in his possession. While staying in his room at the Sheraton hotel he was surprised to see the door opened forcefully by the police demanding that his room and luggage be searched.
The police had found 30 grams of cocaine with Wasoof and he was arrested on the spot. During the investigations Al Wasoof denied any connection to the drugs and it was revealed that the cocaine is for one of the music group members.
On the other hand the president of the Syrian community in Sweden had insisted on being present at the investigations and because of the arrest last Saturday's concert for the great signer had been canceled. The matter had drove the concert planner who is originally from Lebanon mad, because he had sold all the concert tickets for very high prices and now he is forced to return all the money back.

The 7th International Symposium on the Characterization of Porous Solids (COPS-VII) was held in the Congress Centre in Aix-en-Provence between the 25th-28th May 2005. The symposium covered recent results of fundamental and applied research on the characterization of porous solids. Papers relating to characterization methods such as gas adsorption and liquid porosimetry, X-ray techniques and microscopic measurements as well as the corresponding molecular modelling methods were given. These characterization methods were shown to be applied to all types of porous solids such as clays, carbons, ordered mesoporous materials, porous glasses, oxides, zeolites and metal organic frameworks.View full description

GI Joe Movie Trailer #3 - Official
Coming up this August is G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and though it doesn't seem like there's a lot of star power in this one--Dennis Quaid and Marlon Wayans don't exactly qualify as A-listers.
The Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, G.I.J.O.E, is taking on the evil organization Cobra, run by the enigmatic Cobra Commander, a Scottish arms dealer.
With fans AND actual servicemen already up in arms sufficiently to get G.I.J.O.E's headquarters moved from Belgium to the United States, it's enough to make you wonder how the whole thing will come out. Is it a dead hit or a serious misfire? Drop into the comments section and fill us in, and thanks for watching!
The GI Joe Movie Trailer was provided by Paramount Pictures. GI Joe: Rise of the Cobra opens in the United States on Auhust 7, 2009

Getting on the Positive Side of Change is an ongoing process. Wishing that things will change won't get you on the other side of the problem. Unless you deal with the situation, it won't magically go away. You need to take some form of action rather than avoiding the difficult situation. Putting it on the back burner, doesn't relieve the stress the situation causes you. Because at a certain level you are living the situation every day. Quite often it's a conversation you need to have with someone. At other times it might be a business decision. There is always something we avoid doing.
I have found that when I have taken action and been proactive, I usually feel better afterwards. Usually those situations that I have been avoiding are much easier to deal with than i had anticipated. And quite often I have been energized by the engagement. I know with conversations that I have been avoiding it's usually that way. The conflict or unease that I had with someone becomes a springboard for better connection.
Whatever it is take a step forward toward resolving the situation. Quit wasting time and energy thinking about it and do something. Even putting a date on your calendar to take action is better than doing nothing.
One thing I know for certain is that when you don't deal with the problem you still worry about it and on some level it fuels an underlying anxiety that doesn't need any more stimulus.
Now is the time to confront what you are avoiding. Begin now.

Demographic Destiny
Social Security's compact is already on course to change, not because of decisions in Washington to make the program less generous, but because of demographic shifts. The number of workers per beneficiary has fallen from 3.3 in 2007 to 2.9 in 2011, and will drop to 2.0 by 2034, Social Security's actuaries project.
If the trust fund still represents a compact that precludes benefit cuts, it would only logically remain in force for current retirees above 62. Yet the one reform idea kicked around in fiscal cliff talks would have cut Social Security's cost-of-living adjustments for all current beneficiaries.
The fact that all workers 62 and under face steep future benefit cuts should, in theory, make Social Security reform more popular. Workers in their 20s and 30s have an interest in seeing reforms put in place sooner than later so the brunt of the burden and debt doesn't fall upon them.
An IBD analysis found that Social Security, under current law, would boost debt by 18% of GDP by 2032 — just before the trust fund runs out.
Workers in their 40s and 50s should also want to see reform so they don't face benefit cuts for which they haven't prepared by setting aside extra savings.
Average earners at the halfway mark of 40-year careers would have to save more than 5% of annual wages to overcome future benefit cuts, assuming Treasury returns and a lifetime annuity.
In practice, 25% across-the-board cuts in benefits upon trust-fund exhaustion would be untenable, because they would disproportionately hurt the very old, near-poor and disabled.

Came here twice after reading reviews and talking with some friends.
We come from the middle east, so before we got there- we thought the hype was too high, despite that fact we decided to give it a shot anyway- and it payed off.
the best version of shawarma/gyro/doner I have ever had.
as said returned for another one and told some friends to go for it afterwards.
it totally worth the 40 min~ line waiting and I would have waited more if needed.
for the whole experience go for the hänchen gemüse kebab and give them the freedom to put in it what ever they want. they know there thing.
ill also recommend to get a curry wurst from the wurst place just next to mustafa for the line ;).
go there and go again!

I have a 2012 Scale Elite 29'er with a Shimano FC-M552, 2-piece design, 42Ax32Ax24T crankset and a Shimano Cartridge, 68mm shell BB-set. I would like to upgrade the crankset with a XT or SLX. Will the BB-set that came on the bike work for these two or will I need a new BB-set? Thanks, Ed

Notes from the Manager
Related Strips: #27: Merry Christmas from Multiplex; #103: Deck the Halls with Déjà Vu; #311: Exactly Like the Holidays
On a mostly unrelated note, The Weinstein Company is "developing" a sequel to Bad Santa. Okay, it's my favorite Christmas movie ever and all, but… really? (Also on their list of "properties" to enfranchise: Rounders and Shakespeare in Love.)
By the way, I did a guest strip for Shortpacked! (To any new readers from Shortpacked!: please start from the beginning. The comic makes way more sense that way. Don't feel intimidated by all the movie chatter; Multiplex is about movies in the same way Shortpacked! is about toys — which is to say, you don't need to be a big nerd about 'em to enjoy the comic. Or, at least, I'm not into toys, but I love Shortpacked!, so I don't think you do.)
I've had a few promised guest strips go up in smoke, so anyone interested in doing one — or writing a script for one — please drop me a line for the rules and regulations! I will be drawing (by hand) the best script that gets sent to me in the VERY near future, sometime later this week. As an added bonus, if I draw your script, I'll send you the original art!
How much Multiplex can you handle?!
Multiplex is made possible by Andrew Hathaway at Can't Stop the Movies and readers like you via Patreon, who contribute over $600 per month to keep Multiplex updating and ad-free.

This article was previously published under Q325864
We strongly recommend that all users upgrade to Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) version 6.0 running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003. IIS 6.0 significantly increases Web infrastructure security. For more information about IIS security-related topics, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
On This Page
This step-by-step article explains how to secure a Web server by using the Internet Information Services (IIS) Lockdown Wizard. It also includes information about how to troubleshoot problems that occur after you run the wizard.
Prepare to run the IIS Lockdown WizardWith the IIS Lockdown Wizard, you can disable several optional features of IIS to secure your IIS server against attack. Before you run the wizard, read the Help file to familiarize yourself with the options that the wizard presents. To access the help file:
Download and install the IIS Lockdown Wizard
Configure URLScanWhen you run the IIS Lockdown Wizard, you can install URLScan. URLScan is an ISAPI filter that blocks HTTP requests based on a configurable set of rules. For example, you can configure URLScan to block all requests for a certain file name extension, to block certain HTTP verbs (such as GET or POST), or to block requests that contain characters that are frequently included in attacks on Web servers.
To configure URLScan, use a text editor such as Notepad to edit the %WINDIR%\System32\Inetsrv\Urlscan\Urlscan.ini file. This file contains extensive comments that explain each configuration option. When you have finished editing the .ini file, save it and restart IIS.
For additional information about how to configure URLScan, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/312376/ )How to configure URLScan to allow requests with a Null extension in IIS
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/326444/ )How to configure the URLScan tool
Troubleshoot problems after you run the IIS Lockdown WizardThe most common problem after you run the IIS Lockdown Wizard is receiving unexpected 404 File Not Found error messages when you open the locked-down site. You may receive these error messages even for files that exist. This occurs when a client requests a file that has been blocked by the Lockdown Wizard or URLScan. In this case, IIS says that the file does not exist for security purposes. If a malicious user knows that a vulnerable service exists on the server but is being blocked, the user may still find a way to get around the block and exploit the vulnerability; however, if the user thinks that the service is not installed, the user will not try to exploit it.
If you receive a 404 error message after you run the IIS Lockdown Wizard, follow these steps to troubleshoot the problem:
You may also find that FTP or SMTP do not work after you run the IIS Lockdown Wizard. This occurs if you either disable or remove these services. If you disabled the services, follow these steps to re-enable them:
For additional information about how to undo the changes that the IIS Lockdown Wizard made, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

LinuxTag 2010 Program Set
The 16th LinuxTag runs June 9-12, 2010 at the Berlin Exhibition Grounds. The conference organizers released details.
The LinuxTag 2010 will consist of over 200 presentations covering 25 main themes, among them kernel and system programming, open source in the professional sector, and security. Other main themes relate to individual distros such as openSUSE, Fedora, Ubuntu, GNOME and KDE. The Debian community is running its own parallel event onsite with the MiniDebConf-Berlin-2010. Current trends are reflected in further themes such as mobile and embedded, Web apps and cloud computing.
The organizers invited a number of prominent guests to cover the themes: Ubuntu maven Mark Shuttelworth, Chris DiBona from Google, Bill Hilf from Microsoft and Larry Augustin from SugarCRM. Add to that kernel journalist Jonathan Corbet and open source professor Dirk Riehle.
Next to talks and exhibits of vendors and projects, LinuxTag 2010 also provides the opportunity to get a reduced rate for certification at the Linux Professional Institute (LPI). Cost-based tutorials will also be offered. Users from businesses and organizations will have the chance to swap experiences. The LinuxNacht on the evening of June 10 is the social event to "chill out and party."
Entry fees to LinuxTag have two changes: children up to eight years old are free and school groups can get a day pass for EUR 30 (orderable via fax form). Tickets at the gate are EUR 14 and four day tickets are EUR 30, reduced to EUR 12 and EUR 20 respectively with advance booking. Discounts are available for students, trainees, military and civilian duty personnel, and the handicapped. Details on prices, directions and the program are on the LinuxTag website.

Hey, I'm Dana!
I am currently a stay at home mom with two young children. Before my daughter was born I was an elementary school teacher. I taught English as a second language and have always enjoyed traveling and meeting people from around the world. My husband, Mike, is a physics professor at the University of Georgia. We have always enjoyed traveling together and have found renting homes to be an interesting and affordable way to do so.
Mike and I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible. We have recently taken up gardening as a family hobby. We love cooking and sharing meals with friends.
We would like to help make your stay in Atlanta as comfortable as possible. We have done a good bit of traveling with our daughter and understand the needs of a family away from home.

The Deal
- C$9.99 for one go-kart race (up to C$20 value)
Indoor Kart Racing @ TBC
Rows of sleek, black SODI RT8 go-karts vibrate at the start of Indoor Kart Racing @ TBC's 1/5-mile track. Drivers hover 2 inches above the ground, anxiously awaiting the moment they can slam down the gas pedal and accelerate their vehicle capable of reaching speeds of up to 75 km/h. Everyday from 10 a.m. until midnight, an adrenalin-fuelled parade of karts hugs the course's 13-turns as drivers 11 and older flex their navigational muscles and best their times using a high-tech digital timing system. In between laps, video games and air hockey occupy fingers itching for the steering wheel. The family-friendly environment, kept fume-free via the karts' clean air exhaust systems, hosts solo riders, as well as groups that can rent out the full service banquet meeting room to celebrate a birthday, Christmas party, corporate event, or just a fun afternoon with friends.

Acute Forearm Muscle Swelling Post Transradial Catheterization and Compartment Syndrome: Prevention is Better than Treatment!
Interventional Cardiology Laboratories, Quebec Heart and Lung Institute, Quebec, Quebec, Canada.Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions (Impact Factor: 2.11). 02/2010; 75(3):366-8. DOI: 10.1002/ccd.22448

Conference Paper: Building on solid foundations: from conceptual semantics to intelligent-systems applications[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Summary form only given. In the past, we have endeavored to develop a better understanding of the nature of fuzzy-logic approaches on the basis of their relation to other fundamental scientific notions. While many of these efforts evolved in the context of specific applications, their ultimate motivation was the enhancement of basic understanding-particularly in the area of the relations between various approximate-reasoning methodologies. In this presentation we review applied methods stemming from these foundations-relating fuzzy-logic concepts to notions of utility, cost, and similarity-emphasizing the need for the understanding of basic conceptual structures in the development of effective approaches to treat a wide variety of problems. We will review recent applications of approaches based on this view of fuzzy logic to three major Intelligent-system development problems: distributed robotics, qualitative description of complex objects, and knowledge discovery and retrieval in very large databases. We will present major technical issues arising in the consideration of these problems while addressing also fundamental questions of essential importance to the development and understanding of applicable approaches. In particular, we will consider matters related to the notions of team and individual goals, negotiation, and agent-based preferences in the context of distributed robotics; the concepts of cluster and clustering in the context of data analysis and understanding; and the relations between knowledge-based structures, such as ontologies and know ledge-bases, and similarity measures in the context of information-retrieval problems.Fuzzy Systems, 2003.

Article: Transradial Arterial Access for Coronary and Peripheral Procedures: Executive Summary by the Transradial Committee of the SCAI[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In response to growing U.S. interest, the Society for Coronary Angiography and Interventions recently formed a Transradial Committee whose purpose is to examine the utility, utilization, and training considerations related to transradial access for percutaneous coronary and peripheral procedures. With international partnership, the committee has composed a comprehensive overview of this subject presented here-with.Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions 11/2011; 78(6):823-39.

Article: Vascular complications and access crossover in 10,676 transradial percutaneous coronary procedures. Am Heart J[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Randomized trials have shown that transradial approach, compared with transfemoral, reduces vascular complications (VCs) of coronary procedures in selected patients. Yet, radial approach is associated to a variety of access-site VC as well as to a higher failure rate compared with femoral access. At our institution, from May 2005 to May 2010, we prospectively assessed the occurrence and outcome of VC in consecutive patients undergoing transradial percutaneous coronary procedures performed by trained radial operators. The need of access crossover to complete the procedure was also prospectively investigated. Vascular complications were classified as "radial related" or "nonradial related" (in the case of access crossover). Vascular complications were also classified "major" if requiring surgery and/or blood transfusions or causing hemoglobin drop >3 g/dL. Ten thousand six hundred seventy-six procedures were performed using a right radial (87.5%), left radial (12.4%), or ulnar (0.1%) artery as primary access. A total of 53 VCs (0.5%) were observed: 44 (83%) radial related and 9 (17%) nonradial related. Major VCs occurred in 16 patients only (0.2%) and were radial related in 10 (62.5%) and nonradial related in 6 (37.5%) patients. Vascular complications rate was stable during the study and independent of operator's experience. Access crossover rate was 4.9%, differed according to the operator radial experience and significantly decreased over time. The present study, conducted in a center with high volume of radial procedures, shows that transradial approach is associated with a very low rate of VC, which is stable over time. On the contrary, access crossover rate decreased over time and differed according to operator (radial) experience.American heart journal 02/2012; 163(2):230-8.

Tyrannosaur (2011)
Hannah: I prayed for you last night.
Joseph: Yeah, well, it didn't fucking work.
Hannah: I think it did.
Joseph: Don't think he heard you, love.
Hannah: Why did you come here?
Joseph: I was just passing.
Hannah: There must be a reason. Do you want God to forgive you for something?
Joseph: I don't want anything from that fuck.
Hannah: God loves you.
Joseph: Does he now?
Hannah: You're a child of God.
Joseph: God ain't my fucking daddy. My daddy was a cunt, but he knew he was a cunt. God still thinks he's God. Nobody's told him otherwise.
Hannah: Why are you so angry at God?
Joseph: Why are you so fucking stupid?
Joseph: I've met people like you all my fucking life. Goodie goodies. Make a charity record. Bake a cake. Save a fucking soul! You've never eaten shit. Don't know what it's like out there.
Hannah: Why Tyrannosaur?
Joseph: What?
Hannah: You said something about your wife Tyrannosaurus or something?
Joseph: What's Tyrannosaurus about? Yeah
[nods head]
Joseph: It was a joke name... In Jurassic Park you know the movie, there's a scene where the kids are scared, they're looking out the glass and they hear the Tyrannosaur coming. As it thumps its way towards them
[thump, thump, thump]
Joseph: the glass starts to ripple... So
Joseph: my wife was a big lady, and you'd hear her going up the stairs and it was like
[thump, thump, thump]
Joseph: I swear if I had a cup of tea on the sideboard you'd see the same ripples in my tea. So I called her the Tyrannosaur.
[bows head and looks away]
Joseph: I was being a cunt.
[last lines]
Joseph: Dear Hannah. It's taken me a while to put this together. I'm not so great at writing letters, but i wanted to get in touch with you, to see how you were. It's been over a year since i last wrote to you.Life's been mad for me in the past twelve months. I've been awful sick for a number of reasons. My little buddy Sam got attacked by that dog. That fucking scumbag cunt of a fella who was seeing to his mother got the doggy wound-up so much that it just turned on the nearest thing and attacked. It happened to be my buddy's face. The fucking thing nearly got chewed off. It made me upset. I could see it coming. The way he was treating that dog. An animal can only take so much punishment and humiliation before it snaps. Fights back. That's its nature, you know? I felt responsible for the boy. I should of stepped in earlier. The whole event sent me a bit ga-ga. My head just went. That's the second doggy i've killed. I'm not proud because i love dogs but it had to be done to even things up in my mind a bit. I think i went native. That's what my cellmate told me, i went native. I thought that sounded about right somehow. I'm not proud of any of it. But it had to be done. So i did a bit of time for it. I got a load of letters from people who said well done! Good on 'ye! I'd of done the same thing! But nobody ever does. They all think it, but i do it . That's the difference between me and you and the rest of the world. When i got out i thought i'd make a new start, so i moved to a different area. I don't do the drink like i used to. i decided enough was enough. I prayed for you the other day. It's not something i do, but i found i was talking to myself and saying a prayer. I don't even believe in all that shite, as you well know. There's things i want you to know. I know you asked me once about why i went in the shop but i never told you.I didn't go in there looking for God. I just went there because apart from Sam, you were the only fucker that smiled at me around here. And i wanted it. I wanted it to soak into me and brighten me up. I thought you were beautiful. I just wanted to look at you. That's all. Didn't want to know you, because i knew that if i got to know you, you'd have your own shite, you wouldn't be perfect and i didn't want that feeling ruined. I'm signing off now. My address is on this letter so you can write to me if you feel like it. No pressure. Just give me a sign to tell me you are well. Your friend. Joseph.
Hannah: God loves you. You're God's child.
Joseph: God ain't my fucking daddy, my daddy was a cunt. He knew he was a cunt. God still thinks he's God. No-one's told him otherwise.
Hannah: What's your name?
Joseph: Robert De Niro.
Hannah: Would you like a cup of tea, Robert?

And how many taken during the Bush years did nothing, but after being tortured, 'er excuse me, having "enhanced techniques" used on them, got home and became jihadist and suicide bombers?
When our little note-writing deserter, I had no sympathy for him, just like a certain NG who deserted, but we don't leave ours behind. Take note in fact of how many have died, rather often, going so far as being determined to recover the dead, and creating more.
There's more at work here than on the surface, and NOT telling our blabbermouth morons on the right in Congress, or even Feinstein, may not be so dumb. For example, I wouldn't let Issa know the proposed actions of a janitor in the House Office Building.
What do you expect? Obama just fell off the turnip truck…
I have no idea what this cartoon is about. Did someone convince someone to trade a cow for a bean? What happened after that? Is there anyone who knows the obscure story on which this cartoon is based who can explain it to me?
Great toon, Mike!
If the five guys sitting in Gitmo for years represent our nations security then we have a different concern to address.
Mr. Enoki: Funny you should mention "Turnip Truck". Here's a week of THE MAN WHO JUST FELL OFF A TURNIP TRUCK. Enjoy.
It's an allegory about the boy who traded a cow for a magic bean. Obama traded 5 Taliban VIP's for 1 deserting soldier. 5 guys died trying to find him and bring him home after he abandoned his post and went AWOL, and now we are trading 5 terrorists for 1 deserter. I feel bad for the families of those who died trying to find that worthless sack of crap.
Republicans in Congress, including McCain, were ready to trade Bergdahl for the five Taliban members. GOP cheerleaders were all praying for the return of Bergdahl by any means necessary (their words) including the swap. A GOP candidate had a Facebook message up thanking God for his safe return — and 25 minutes later, she got the memo and took it down.
The first commandment of the GOP: hate anything Obama does, even if you were begging for it five minutes ago.
We don't hate everything Obama does. Just the stupid things……….oh wait; I guess that is everything.
Bush traded 500! Remember a thing called "Iran-Contra" where we gave weapons the US Army was short of to Iran? We have always gotten our soldiers back, now we decide what to do with him. These folks were the Gov't of Afghanistan, what gives us the right to kidnap or hold members of a legal Gov't for years and not charge them with anything? If your educated remember the "Star Courts" of England.
Please give it up. Bush is truly responsible for what happened when he was in the White House. It doesn't go away just because he changed residences and started painting his feet in the bathtub.
Put it another way: are you going to stop blaming Obama for anything that happened between 2009 and 2017, and start blaming it all on President Gingrich (lord help us)?
No, the bad that Obama does will still be his responsibility after he leaves office. Please try to learn from this. Otherwise, you'll soon be blaming Angela Merkel for the Holocaust.
I did. I am well familiar with your mental clarity regarding how Mr. Reagan supported terrorists. I fully agree with your assessment.
My post had nothing to do with that, however.
Did their Prime Minister intentionally violate the Israeli law to accomplish this? It certainly appears our "president" violated the law requiring him to inform Congress 30 days prior. Do the laws of this country no longer apply to our dictator?
^^Harley, Jonathon Pollard is in prison for spying on the U.S., for ISRAEL, who sold our secrets to CHINA! Israel under Likud is FAR MORE DANGEROUS to our security, and troops, than these five prisoners, period. Which, if not for defending Israel, what WOULD we be doing with our noses, and troops, constantly stuck into the region?

Former first lady Barbara Bush praised the staff of a Texas hospital where she spent nearly a week being treated for pneumonia before going home Saturday.
Former first lady Barbara Bush praised the staff of a Texas hospital where she spent nearly a week being treated for pneumonia before going home Saturday.
Jim McGrath, a spokesman for President George H.W. Bush and his wife, says doctors at Houston Methodist Hospital decided Saturday morning to allow Barbara Bush to go home. The 88-year-old Bush family matriarch had been hospitalized since Monday.
"I cannot thank the doctors and nurses at Houston Methodist enough for making sure I got the best treatment and got back to George and our dogs as quickly as possible," Bush said. The Bushes are well-known dog lovers and live in Houston.
McGrath had no immediate information on future treatment for Bush.

"She's great. She's had a couple of great days. She's responded well to the medication," McGrath said.
The nation's longest-married presidential first couple will celebrate their 69th wedding anniversary Monday.
Barbara Bush had heart surgery in March 2009 for a severe narrowing of the main heart valve. She also was hospitalized in November 2008, when she underwent surgery for a perforated ulcer. In 2010, she was admitted to the hospital after having a mild relapse of Graves disease, a thyroid condition for which she was treated in 1989.
Her 89-year-old husband spent nearly two months in the same hospital and was discharged in January 2013 after treatment for a bronchitis-related cough and other health issues.
Their son, George W. Bush, served as the 43rd U.S. president.

"Useless and misleading"
Mrs Langley
15 September 2015
I also had the misfortune to buy this thermometer from a Lakeland store and so did not read the previous reviews. You need to be making a huge amount of jam (well over 3 kgs) in order to reach the necessary immersion level on the thermometer to get a correct reading. Furthermore, the lettering indicating the setting temperature of jam is in the wrong place. The correct temperature is 104.5 degrees centigrade but the arrow is pointing to over106. Very misleading. These thermometers should be withdrawn.
A note from the team
Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback. I'm sorry that you'd been disappointed with the thermometer, I'll be in touch shortly.

Google's "Smartphone Launch Predictor" study found that 52 percent of purchase-related searches occur before a smartphone is launched.
Search volume can predict smartphone sales with over 90 percent accuracy, according to a new study from Google.
Google's "Smartphone Launch Predictor" study found that 52 percent of purchase-related searches occur before a smartphone is launched. According to Google, the key to a successful smartphone launch is getting ahead of the release and marketing early.
"One of the biggest factors is getting early buzz. Getting early buzz is key [for a successful smartphone launch]," Google Industry Director for Tech Kyle Keogh told ClickZ.
The study found that the earlier a firm markets a smartphone the more likely they are to succeed in sales. According to Google, an extra 1,000 news stories put in place weeks before a launch can lead to a 9 percent spike in smartphone sales.
Google's research discovered that users tend to do general product searches in the week during launch. After launch, it was discovered that consumers dig deep and search for key specifications on a device.
Video is also becoming a key research tool for consumers shopping for a smartphone. According to the study, video views for smartphones increased 60 percent this year. Google says that if a smartphone gets over 1 million video views during launch week it will likely sell over 1.3 million units.
"[Consumers] want to see a video that un-boxes a smartphone. Trial has really switched from in-stores to online," continued Keogh.
The search giant's research reported that some days work better than others when it comes to smartphone launches. The firm's research found that phones sell the best on Thursdays and Fridays. Given the information, Google recommends that marketers schedule their message with those days in mind.
"Thursday or Friday launches can bring a lot more demand going over the weekend," continued Keogh.
The research found some distinct correlation between ad clicks and sales as well. According to Google, a smartphone that garners 100,000 paid clicks during the first 12 weeks of launch will likely sell over 1.3 million units over the same period.
Another vital statistic uncovered by Google is that mobile searches play a key role in a smartphone's launch. According to Google, phones that receive over 25,000 mobile search results are likely to see a 17 percent sales increase.
Google came up with its results by surveying 150 smartphone launches from 2010 to 2012.

Brian Glyn Williams of UMass Dartmouth says Boston bombing suspect sought help 'rediscovering' Chechen rootsHistorians in the News
tags: Boston Marathon bombing, Brian Glyn Williams, UMass Dartmouth, Chechen War
The Boston bombing suspect who is the subject of a massive manhunt reached out to a Massachusetts professor two years ago for help on research "rediscovering his Chechen origins," the professor told FoxNews.com Friday.
Professor Brian Glyn Williams, who teaches the only course in the U.S. on the Chechen wars, said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev emailed him in the spring of 2011, asking questions on Chechen history for a research project he was doing at the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School.
Williams said that based on conversations with a friend who taught Tsarnaev -- and who recommended he reach out to Williams -- he learned that Tsarnaev was "studying his past."...
