NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs) »
"What are NSAIDs and how do they work?
As the class name suggests, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce inflammation but are not related to steroids which also reduce inflammation. NSAIDs work by reducing the productio"...

MOTRIN (ibuprofen) tablets contain ibuprofen which possesses analgesic and antipyretic activities. Its mode of action, like that of other NSAIDs, is not completely understood, but may be related to prostaglandin synthetase inhibition.
In clinical studies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, MOTRIN (ibuprofen) tablets have been shown to be comparable to aspirin in controlling pain and inflammation and to be associated with a statistically significant reduction in the milder gastrointestinal side effects (see ADVERSE REACTIONS). MOTRIN (ibuprofen) tablets may be well tolerated in some patients who have had gastrointestinal side effects with aspirin, but these patients when treated with MOTRIN (ibuprofen) tablets should be carefully followed for signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal ulceration and bleeding. Although it is not definitely known whether MOTRIN (ibuprofen) tablets causes less peptic ulceration than aspirin, in one study involving 885 patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated for up to one year, there were no reports of gastric ulceration with MOTRIN (ibuprofen) tablets whereas frank ulceration was reported in 13 patients in the aspirin group (statistically significant p< .001).
Gastroscopic studies at varying doses show an increased tendency toward gastric irritation at higher doses. However, at comparable doses, gastric irritation is approximately half that seen with aspirin. Studies using 51Cr-tagged red cells indicate that fecal blood loss associated with MOTRIN (ibuprofen) tablets in doses up to 2400 mg daily did not exceed the normal range, and was significantly less than that seen in aspirin-treated patients.
In clinical studies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, MOTRIN (ibuprofen) tablets have been shown to be comparable to indomethacin in controlling the signs and symptoms of disease activity and to be associated with a statistically significant reduction of the milder gastrointestinal (see ADVERSE REACTIONS) and CNS side effects.
MOTRIN (ibuprofen) tablets may be used in combination with gold salts and/or corticosteroids.
Controlled studies have demonstrated that MOTRIN (ibuprofen) tablets are a more effective analgesic than propoxyphene for the relief of episiotomy pain, pain following dental extraction procedures, and for the relief of the symptoms of primary dysmenorrhea.
In patients with primary dysmenorrhea, MOTRIN (ibuprofen) tablets have been shown to reduce elevated levels of prostaglandin activity in the menstrual fluid and to reduce resting and active intrauterine pressure, as well as the frequency of uterine contractions. The probable mechanism of action is to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis rather than simply to provide analgesia.
The ibuprofen in MOTRIN tablets is rapidly absorbed. Peak serum ibuprofen levels are generally attained one to two hours after administration. With single doses up to 800 mg, a linear relationship exists between amount of drug administered and the integrated area under the serum drug concentration vs time curve. Above 800 mg, however, the area under the curve increases less than proportional to increases in dose. There is no evidence of drug accumulation or enzyme induction.
The administration of MOTRIN (ibuprofen) tablets either under fasting conditions or immediately before meals yields quite similar serum ibuprofen concentration-time profiles. When MOTRIN (ibuprofen) tablets are administered immediately after a meal, there is a reduction in the rate of absorption but no appreciable decrease in the extent of absorption. The bioavailability of the drug is minimally altered by the presence of food.
A bioavailability study has shown that there was no interference with the absorption of ibuprofen when MOTRIN (ibuprofen) tablets were given in conjunction with an antacid containing both aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide.
Ibuprofen is rapidly metabolized and eliminated in the urine. The excretion of ibuprofen is virtually complete 24 hours after the last dose. The serum half-life is 1.8 to 2.0 hours.
Studies have shown that following ingestion of the drug, 45% to 79% of the dose was recovered in the urine within 24 hours as metabolite A (25%), (+)-2-[p-(2hydroxymethyl-propyl) phenyl] propionic acid and metabolite B (37%), (+)-2-[p-(2carboxypropyl)phenyl] propionic acid; the percentages of free and conjugated ibuprofen were approximately 1% and 14%, respectively.

In the twilight of the Prohibition era, Potter County police officers made one of their biggest seizures of alcohol paraphernalia as they raided a distillery in the northwest corner of Potter County on Oct. 8, 1929.
According to an Oct. 9 Globe-News article, the raid netted 75 gallons of whiskey, a 200-gallon still, more than 1,200 gallons of mash and 900 pounds of sugar - all necessities in making bootleg liquor.
Potter County Sheriff Bill Thompson led the raid after a two-week investigation and a five-hour search for the location.
"The officers swooped down on the still in full operation, (officers) said last night after making their way back to Amarillo from the rough country surrounding the still's location," the article reads. "Escape of steam from the plant could be heard for some distance, and it was this that finally directed the officers to their 'find.' "
Steve Williams of Amarillo was arrested at the still, along with Tucumcari, N.M., resident Jim Wright. Williams had already paid a $100 fine for a liquor violation earlier that year, the Globe-News reported.

1. Robert Gabbert was deployed to Afghanistan in March. He left his 3-year-old Shiba Inu, Baxter, with his girlfriend.
2. According to a now-deleted Colorado Craigslist ad that appeared recently, Gabbert's girlfriend decided to sell the dog.
3. Gabbert wrote in his Craigslist ad:
I am currently deployed and my ex sold my dog. I just found out and I am trying to find the people (person) who bought him. I will pay anything to get him back. His name is Baxster and he is an Shiba Inu. I do not have my phone with me. You can email me. The phone number is my mom's she is helping me locate him. If you have any information PLEASE give us a call or an email.
4. As Gabbert's story spread around the web, users on Facebook and Imgur came together, hoping to find out to whom Baxter had been sold.
6. Gabbert's mother told reporters that Baxter's new family told her that their children have become attached to the dog.
7. A group of Gabbert's supporters are currently working with an attorney, hoping there's still a chance of reuniting Gabbert with Baxter.
8. As for why Gabbert's girlfriend sold Baxter, it's unclear. He did refer to her as an ex in his Craigslist ad, so chances are things are not great between the two anymore.

The most amazing thing about the Phillies, in the aftermath of their methodical sweep of the Cincinnati Reds, is how much better they can be.
That applies to the National League Championship Series and to the World Series, but also to 2011 and 2012. This astonishing run, which has produced four NL East titles, two pennants and a championship so far, might be only at its midway point.
Let's start with the short term, the four to 14 games the Phillies will play in the rest of this postseason. The Phillies advanced to the NLCS with what looked and felt like the most dominating performance in franchise history. It was the complete opposite of this group's first postseason appearance, when the Phillies were swept by the Colorado Rockies in the 2007 NL division series.

Raymond's friends are throwing him a surprise birthday party, but they start celebrating before it even begins. A guest and the bartender start the action off by exchanging blowjobs; then they're joined by another guest and so the orgy grows.

"Thank you for watching. If you enjoyed it, please join us again; or, if you prefer something a little easier to work out, try the Arab-Israeli conflict."Only Connect (2008-) is a BBC Game Show hosted by Victoria Coren Mitchell in which two teams compete in the following rounds:
- Connections: Identify the connection among four items, revealed one by one. Points are awarded based on how many items are revealed before an answer is given. Most sets of items are in text form, but in each round one set will be of pictures and another of music or sounds.
- Sequences: Identify the fourth item in a sequence of items revealed in a similar manner to the above, again including one picture question. Beginning in 2014, some episodes also included a musical question in this round.
- Connecting Wall: Sort the grid of sixteen items into four connected groups of four. Often includes items which could fit into more than one of the categories, or into a red herring category.
- Missing Vowels: Reinsert the vowels into a word, phrase or name from which the vowels have been removed and spaces have been arbitrarily inserted or deleted (they come in connected sets, and this time the contestants are told the connections before the words appear).
This show provides examples of:
- Author Appeal:
Victoria: All editors of Punch: Mark Lemon was the first editor of Punch, Alan Coren the best.
- Victoria is a professional poker player. Several questions and clues on the show have been related to poker.
- One Missing Vowels round had "Presidents of Footlights" as a category, seemingly just so that one of the answers could be David Mitchell, who is, of course, Victoria's husband.
- Victoria's father, Alan Coren, has also been a clue on the show; one set of clues in the 2011 Children in Need special was "Lemon, Coren, Muggeridge, Bird":
- Victoria's brother, Giles Coren, has also been a clue in a couple of episodes.
- Victoria herself has appeared in at least three clues: "People named Victoria", "People whose names are capital cities", and when "OC trivia" was used as an anagram as part of a cryptic crossword clue (the connection was that all four clues had "Victoria" as their answers).
- Bait and Switch:
Victoria: And teams, to mark our hundredth, we've got seven lovely glasses of sherry here. So I'm just going to give out the trophy, and then get on with drinking them.
- From the end of the 100th episode:
Victoria: Hello, and welcome to Only Connect, the quiz that's like a gym for the mind. Let me explain what I mean by that — for all you hardcore quizzers out there, a gym is a sort of building full of sports equipment...
- From an episode intro:
- Bilingual Bonus: In the first appearance of the Celts, a team whose common connection is that they're from Wales, Victoria conducts the pre-game chat with the team captain entirely in Welsh, with no subtitles nor any other concession to audience members who don't know the language. (In the following episode, she attempts the same thing with the captain of the Francophiles, only for him to admit that despite admiring the French he doesn't actually speak their language.)
- Crossover:
- A January 2011 special pitted Only Connect Series 1 and "Champion of Champions" winners the Crossworders with the 2010 University Challenge champions from Emmanuel College, Cambridge. The Crossworders won.
- A January 2012 special saw the Crossworders facing three former Mastermind champions (Stephen Allen (1991), Gavin Fuller (1993), and Nancy Dickmann (2009)). The Crossworders won again.
- A January 2013 special set three of the title quiz aces from Eggheads (Chris Hughes, Pat Gibson, and Barry Simmons) against three members of Only Connect series-winning teams, all named David (David Stainer of the Crossworders (Series 1), David Bill of the Gamblers (Series 3), and David Lea of the Analysts (Series 5)). The three Davids won.
- One team on the 2014/15 series is the 'QI Elves', who are, well, three of the QI elves.
- Going the other direction, during the 2014 Qi "L" series, when Victoria Coren Mitchell appeared on the episode "Literature", Stephen Fry hosted a round modeled after Only Connect.
- Couch Gag: VCM's opening piece to camera before introducing the teams.
- Deadpan Snarker: Victoria Coren Mitchell.Victoria Coren Mitchell: Hello, and welcome to Only Connect — the show described by the Daily Mirror as "weird". It is a bit strange — There are two teams; I ask them questions, and if they get the answers right they get points, and at the end of the quiz, whichever team has the most points, they're the winners. It's a revolutionary idea, but someone had to try it.
- Diegetic Switch: At the beginning of the grand final episode of the 2015/16 series, when the title sequence fades away to show the studio, there's a string quartet set up in the middle of the set, which plays the last bit of the theme music live.
- Dissimile: From an episode intro:Victoria: Our teams will be facing only a series of heavy and exhausting questions, with me as their personal trainer, shouting encouragement and occasionally nipping off to the vending machine in the café. The vending machine is literal, by the way. Only it's not in the café, it's in my dressing room. And it's not a vending machine, it's a varsity rowing team holding its own weight in pork scratchings.
- Fanservice: Sometimes, Victoria dresses like this◊.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: Victoria Coren Mitchell is wonderful at this.note Victoria Coren Mitchell: Now we're into the semi-finals the questions get harder, though because it's only a semi not much harder.
"We have the beginnings of a semi."
- and the blink and you'll miss it comment at the end of the first quarter final
- Heävy Mëtal Ümlaut:
- The connection in a musical question in series 9, where the answer was Grätüïtöüs Ümläüts.
- One of the teams in Series 10 was the Nørdiphiles. When they faced a team whose name also contained an o, it proved contagious, with their opponents being listed as the Bibliøphiles in all onscreen graphics.
- Lady Drunk: Among other things. Victoria Coren Mitchell likes to play up the idea of herself as a drunk in comments during her introductions and asides.Victoria Coren Mitchell: Join us again for the quiz with more twists and turns than the route from the bar to the studio. I swear they keep on adding more corners.
- Occasionally she'll add casual drug use to that. While talking about uses for Amyl Nitrate, she murmured "That's not what I use it for..."
- Metaphorgotten: Victoria opens a 2015 episode by noting that competitors will need the observational acuity of a hawk and then getting sidetracked into an account of the hypothetical hawk's history of eye trouble. At the end of the episode, the same thing happens when she compares the mental agility of the competitors to the physical agility of a mountain goat.
- Name's the Same: Invoked in a sequence question in the 2011 Comic Relief special, where the four items in the sequence were Peter Gabriel's first four solo albums: 'Peter Gabriel', 'Peter Gabriel', 'Peter Gabriel', and 'Peter Gabriel'.Michael Bywater: 'Peter Gabriel' was the best, though.
Victoria: I liked that one... By 'Peter Gabriel', he'd kind of gone off.
- Nerds Are Sexy: Victoria counts herself among those who see University Challenge ace Alex Guttenplan as an example of this; when he and two of his Emmanuel College, Cambridge teammates appear in a 2011 special against Only Connect Champion of Champions winners the Crossworders, Victoria keeps trailing off during her opening interview with Guttenplan.
- Nintendo Hard: Only Connect prides itself on being the toughest quiz on television.
- Even within the show, the music questions tend to be notorious for being difficult.
- One Steve Limit: Brilliantly averted with the Davids in the Eggheads vs Davids special - an all-star team comprised of three captains of other champion teams, all of whom were named David.
- Overly Narrow Superlative: From the opening of a 2013 episode:Victoria Coren Mitchell: Hello, and welcome to Only Connect, BBC 4's hardest quiz. It's also BBC 4's easiest quiz. Not only that, it's BBC 4's only quiz.
- Red Herring:
- In the first two rounds, it's not uncommon for the first two clues in a question to suggest a spurious connection that will be utterly demolished by the third clue, to catch out teams who try to answer early.
- The Connection Wall will almost invariably have a couple of items that could belong to multiple themes but will only be accepted as one.
- Sometimes, even an entirely non existent category will be included (meaning that some answers could belong in a special category but all have to go someplace else), e.g. in one 2015 episode the actual categories were Places of worship; Famous Benjamins; Forensic dramas; and nationalities with an additional letter. The items included "Kirk", "Chapel", "Spock", "Bones" and "Scott". Naturally, that was the first thing the team spotted.
- Running Gag:
- The seventh series, which introduced a new system where teams who lost their first match got a second chance and could still end up in the final, had a running gag about Victoria being unable to get her head around it.
- Similarly, the move to BBC2 for the 2014/2015 series greatly expanded the field and the length of the series from around 13-15 episodes to nearly 30. Victoria commented on it several times. In the end, both teams in the final had lost once already.
- Shout-Out: In the first episode of the twelfth series, one the categories in the missing vowels round is "What do points mean?", with the four phrases being "driving penalties", "railway line junctions", "fielding positions in cricket", and "prizes".
- Small Reference Pools: Inverted. There have been questions involving knowledge of everything from the Kubler-Ross model of grief and the odes of John Keats to the creator of Beavis And Butthead, the Twilight novels, and types of Pokémon. This kind of behaviour is actively encouraged on the website's "Create Your Own Connecting Wall" feature.
- Speed Round: The Missing Vowels Round.
- Take That, Audience!: Closing the show on 3rd December, 2012:Victoria Coren Mitchell: Watch us next us unless you have a social engagement. If you do have a social engagement, don't worry about it, I'll understand. I'll be surprised, but I'll understand.
- Take That, Critics!: In the first three series the teams chose from sets of clues identified by Greek letters.

This paper presents a system architecture for load management in smart buildings which enables autonomous demand side load management in the smart grid. Being of a layered structure composed of three main modules for admission control, load balancing, and demand response management, this architecture can encapsulate the system functionality, assure the interoperability between various components, allow the integration of different energy sources, and ease maintenance and upgrading. Hence it is capable of handling autonomous energy consumption management for systems with heterogeneous dynamics in multiple time-scales and allows seamless integration of diverse techniques for online operation control, optimal scheduling, and dynamic pricing. The design of a home energy manager based on this architecture is illustrated and the simulation results with Matlab/Simulink confirm the viability and efficiency of the proposed framework.

For some children, "back to school" can mean back to bullies.
Bullying is especially common for military children who, according to the Military Child Education Coalition, move about six to nine times from kindergarten to twelfth grade.
So where's the good news? Trevor Romain is setting out to help military children in Europe identify and change bullying behavior! During his USO tour, Trevor will also discuss how to recognize the signs that your child is being bullied (or is bullying others), how to talk to your kids about bullying and ways families can cope with this important issue together.
You can hear Trevor's thoughts about bullying behavior and how to handle it and how Trevor discusses these problems with military children in his interview with the Department of Defense Education Activity. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DrW5wQZbx0] Bullying Statistics
- About 71 percent of students report bullying as an on-going problem they face at school.
- Over half of all students have witnessed a bullying crime take place while at school.
- A reported 15 percent of all students who don't show up for school report it to being out of fear of being bullied while at school.
- About one out of every 10 students drops out or changes schools because of repeated bullying.
- About 282,000 students are reportedly attacked in high schools throughout the nation each month.
As a nationally-recognized children's motivational speaker and author, Trevor will also share the USO's With You All the Way program with military children. Through a partnership between the USO and the Comfort Crew for Military Kids and the Trevor Romain Company, this program focuses on helping children and families cope with deployment, reintegration, and what happens when a parent returns from combat with wounds, both seen and unseen.
People often forget about the sacrifices and hardships that are unique for military children. At the USO, we understand the difficulties military children endure and we are so proud to partner with Trevor in our mission to support and connect with our military children around the world.
Thank you Trevor! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSm3jq5ClBQ]

Google Maps Goes Social
Google on Wednesday is launching a new service that allows cellphone users to view their friends' current locations through its mobile mapping service–a move into potentially risky territory for the search giant.
The service called Google Latitude is designed to help users share their whereabouts, along with photos and short updates, with a small group of friends and family members. It has an array of features to protect users' privacy. Users must opt in to the service, which only shares their location with people they allow to see it. Google only stores a user's last recorded location, making it impossible for the company to follow someone's whereabouts over time.
Still, the service works by asking users to connect to their Google accounts–such as those used for Gmail and other services–so location information could at least theoretically be linked to data about other things people do online. That design may not sit well with some users and privacy advocates already concerned about the volumes of data the search giant keeps.
If adopted, though, Latitude give the nascent market for so-called mobile social networking services some new juice. Services that tap real-time location information to help users find their friends have been considered one of the promising areas of the mobile market – in part because of the potential advertising boon of delivering ads based on where people are in real-time.
But the industry, which includes services from startups like Loopt and Whrrl, has been held back by privacy concerns as well as a messy set of logistics around accessing wireless carriers' location information, supporting a broad enough pool of devices and more. Even major social networks have refrained from marrying their mobile versions with location data.
Google appears to have already dodged some of the hurdles. The service will run off Google's own location database, which it assembled based on public information about the location of cell-towers and public Wi-Fi spots. The Web giant had assembled the database to allow users to check out their own location on some mobile versions of Google Maps.
Steve Lee, product manager on Google Maps for Mobile, said the popularity of that location feature encouraged Google to expand it to allow users to share their information with other people as well. Based on months of internal testing among Google employees, he predicts that users will find it most useful to connect with significant others or family members.
He adds that Google has taken the privacy aspects of the product very seriously. "We've taken the necessary precautions," he said.
The new service will soon be available in 27 countries and for higher end devices like iPhones, BlackBerrys and T-Mobile's G1, the first phone running the Google-developed Android operating system. Users can also view friends' locations on their desktop's using a Google gadget for its personal homepage service, iGoogle.

(Bill Kostroun/AP)Rex Ryan managed to save his job as head coach of the New York Jets with a surprising 8-8 mark in 2013 -- a mark that nearly propelled his very flawed team into the playoffs. He's now been rewarded further, with a multi-year contract extension, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.Earlier reports indicated that Ryan, whose contract was up after the 2014 season, would be retained only through that upcoming season. This new deal is expected to keep Ryan in New York through at least 2015. The New York Post reported that the Jets "could easily get out of the deal" after that '15 season."I'm comfortable [with a one-year deal]," Ryan said at his season-ending press conference. "With me, I think just, I'm a guy that looks for opportunities. I have an opportunity right in front of me to coach the New York Jets. That, that's all I need."Even with a contract that lasts beyond 2014, Ryan will be under heavy pressure to produce a playoff berth next season. The Jets have missed out on the postseason each of the past three years, after reaching the AFC title game in both of Ryan's first two seasons (2009 and '10) at the helm.[si_video id="video_44A86267-4E9B-58C5-D814-9B3914947900" height="470"]The Jets did manage to stay on the fringe of an underwhelming AFC wild-card race this season, despite alternating wins and losses for their first 10 games. They dropped three of four after that, however, to dip to 6-8. But the Jets closed strong with back-to-back wins, complete with a Week 17 victory in Miami that eliminated the Dolphins from the playoffs.Jets owner Woody Johnson announced after that game that Ryan would remain the team's coach, and that Ryan had been aware of his fate prior to the upset of Miami.Ryan has a 42-38 overall record in his five seasons with New York. The recent 8-8 showing was his fourth season at .500 or better since taking the job. The Jets accomplished that eight-win campaign despite finishing in the bottom half of the league in points allowed and 29th in points scored. Rookie quarterback Geno Smith struggled throughout 2013, too, finishing with 12 touchdowns and 21 interceptions. Still, his presence provided the franchise a little hope for better production next season. Ryan inherited the Jets' job prior to the 2009 season, after Eric Mangini was fired. More Audibles

This simple statement may seem obvious, but many people see their lawn as a green outdoor carpet free of imperfections that stays uniformly green all summer. As seasons progress, a healthy lawn responds to moisture, heat, and other natural phenomena. Organic Soil Solutions makes your lawn and soil as healthy and happy as possible. We promote deep roots, plenty of leaf surface, and lots of biology in the soil, so the grass can get the air, water, and food it needs. We provide the foundation for a healthy lawn to meet the challenges and accept the gifts that Mother Nature provides. We use a completely organic and proactive approach to plant and soil health care.
The Organic Soil Solutions program renews, revitalizes, corrects, and conditions your soil. Healthy living soil leads directly to healthy thriving trees, shrubs, and lawns. To preserve your landscaping investment, start with the most basic component – your soil.
Stronger turf means less watering
Water retention is better in a soil with a decent amount of organic matter and pore space.
Mow less, pollute less
Grass plants need a lot of leaf surface to perform photosynthesis and manufacture food to store in the roots. A lawn at 3 to 4 inches grows roots and is happy and healthy.
Organic Soil Solutions Means More Grass
More grass, fewer weeds
Most weeds enjoy compacted soil with poor biological diversity. A healthy soil favors the cool season grasses over the weeds.
Have fun with your lawn
Everyone should be able to chew on a blade of grass without worrying. Make noise with a blade of grass between your thumbs. Roll around on it or have a picnic. Feel good about your lawn and enjoy it!
Tougher, healthier trees and shrubs
Healthy soil benefits all life living on and in it, including us. There is more beneficial biology and fewer pathogens, more air, less compaction and more organic matter and plant available nutrients. Flowers and shrubs have brighter colors, more bud development and healthier foliage.

I've got a MacBook Air (original edition) whose internal hard drive seems like it's beginning to fail. Rather than just replacing it under warranty, I'd rather upgrade to a solid state drive. Does anyone have any idea whether this is actually doable?
Yes this is doable. Some things to keep in mind:
You said you wanted to replace while its under warranty? This will void your warranty if you replace it yourself and not by Apple. It is not an easy process to do yourself. My advice is to take advantage of your warranty. There is a very high chance you will leave a warranty voiding trail upgrading the drive yourself.

I first saw the Equipter at the JLC LIVE show in Providence, Rhode Island, and like most of the guys around me, I just stood there with my mouth hanging open and watched the thing go up and down, and backwards and forwards. After 20 minutes I was darn near hypnotized. It was that cool.
The Equipter is a self-propelled dumpster that can be towed to the jobsite and then driven under its own power (it has a gasoline engine) to wherever it needs to be. A hydraulic pump allows the operator to elevate it to roof level or tip it and empty the contents into a regular dumpster. The inventor was pitching the machine to roofers, who could strip the roof into the Equipter, empty it, and then lift the new shingles up to the roof.
I think he's selling the machine short. Only a few of the people who walked by were roofers; but there plenty of remodelers at the show and I heard them say thing like "I could put that thing next to a window and throw plaster and demo debris into it" or "I could lift material to the second floor or onto the roof – no more carrying it up the staging".
This machine is not for everyone because it sells for around $32,000. That said it could probably replace a lot of expensive manpower.
Check out the videos below. I shot two; the first is just the machine doing its thing (okay, someone is operating it) and the second is the inventor explaining how it works and why he came to invent it.

Meg Whitman's East L.A. Office Target Of Protests
Updated at 5:14 p.m. with comment from the Whitman campaign.
With her polling numbers dropping dramatically among Latinos, Meg Whitman vented her frustration recently, calling out Jerry Brown for taking Latinos "for granted."
"He's living on what he did for this community 40 years ago," she said. "I'm the first Republican in 30 years to open an office in East L.A."
Oh, right. The East L.A. office. How are things going over there? According to this report over at L.A. Eastside, not so good.
Her office has been picketed since day one and almost once a week by unions, orgs or people that just plain don't like her. It's become a regular thing, so much so that her office staff have started counter-protesting. It's quite hilarious.
For the better part, her staff has mostly resorted to yelling over protesters as they are interviewed by media or chanting. Usually ending with yelling back and forth by both sides. The workers also 'impose' themselves in front of other protesters, invading their personal space and getting physical with out provocation. This almost led to some fights. They're also adamant about 'getting off private property.'

Sounds like a blast. Whitman's staff has called the cops just to make sure things don't get out of hand.
Update: Whitman's spokesman for Spanish-language media, Hector Barajas, says that the protests are "staged."
"They come by so often that we have gotten to know them and the cars
they drive," he says. "They come by and say they are Nicky, as in Nicky
Diaz. Some claim to be United Farm Workers... and then they leave. We
have had (state Sen.) Gil Cedillo visit about 3-4 times. This is all for
attention and I guess they got yours."
Meanwhile, Whitman is addressing her poor favorability ratings by reintroducing herself to the electorate. It's a little late in the game for that, but you've gotta do what you've gotta do. Watch, as Whitman acknowledges that you think she's a "billionaire with no government experience."

GSM (2G) phones are equipped with General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) technology, which enables users to send and receive data over the Internet. The speed of data transfer is relatively low. According to the Mobile Phones UK website, some GSM phones have 14.4 kilobits-per-second speed while some have 9.6 kilobits per second, which is a pretty slow speed for browsing.
Connect your GPRS enabled cell phone to your computer for getting a better speed.
Go to the "Start" menu on your computer and click on "Control Panel."
Go to "Network and Internet Connections."
Select "Network Connections." Here, select your phone's icon, for example, Nokia 3220. This icon will appear in the dial-up section.
Go to "Properties" by right-clicking on the "Network" icon in the dial-up section.
Select "Configure" on the new window.
Choose the "Maximum Speed (bps)" from the drop-down list. The maximum speed is 921,600.
Click "OK" and save the settings.
Restart your PC.
Tips & Warnings
- Consider upgrading to a 3G cell phone that uses EDGE or 3G Internet. With EDGE or 3G Internet, you will be able to enjoy faster Internet speed (from 47.6 kilobits per second to 1 megabit per second).

I would like to start studying advanced endgame positions and learn more about endgames, is there any good sites or resources that anyone could reccomend to me.
The best free way to study endgames is to study the games of top players that made it to the end game. www.chessgames.com and " target="_blank">www.chesslive.de/ both have a large databases, but chessgames might be better for your purpose since it lists the number of moves--not that a certin move number indicates an endgame but this is at least a starting point.
i suck at endgames, and havent yet found a website or anything where to learn properly what its all about
There's a myth out there that endings are difficult or boring to study. It doesn't have to be that way! A good place to begin are the lessons here:
The King and Queen Checkmate
The King and Rook Checkmate
Pawn Endings 1
Pawn Endings 2
Pawn Endings 3
Queen Endings
Rook Endings
Minor Piece Endings
Endgame Studies
Afterwards, you'll be ready for a good endgame book such as those by Pandolfini, Seirawan, or Silman. And, of course, check out my blog! You're at the beginning of a long and enjoyable journey. :)
The original poster mentioned, "advanced endgame positions". If the above is too basic for you, here are some more advanced options. These assume you know the above!
1. "Starting Out: Pawn Endings", "Starting Out: Rook Endings", "Starting Out: Minor Piece Endings", and "Starting Out: Practical Endings" make for a nice series of books. They take it slow and cover a wide variety of positions.
2. Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual is awesome. Dvoretsky defines an endgame as a position where one side has at most one piece, and within that definition he provides a thorough coverage of practical endings.
3. Fundamental Chess Endings by Mueller and Lamprecht is also excellent and takes a wider view of endgames. In addition to hitting the material in Dvoretsky, he covers some rare endings (K+N+N vs K+P), as well as complex practical endings such as K+R+N+Ps vs K+R+B+Ps.
After studying endgame positions and techniques from the above, players turn to Endgame Strategy. Shereshevsky, and Hansen are well-regarded.

William Edward Hall[1] VC (28 April 1827 – 27 August 1904) was the first black person, first Nova Scotian, and third Canadian to receive the Victoria Cross. He received the medal for his actions in the Siege of Lucknow during the Indian Rebellion. Hall and an officer from his ship continued to load and fire a 24-pounder gun at the walls after the rest of the party had been killed or injured by the defenders
Early life[edit]
William Edward Hall was born at Horton, Nova Scotia, in 1827[2] as the son of Jacob and Lucy Hall, who had escaped American slave owners in Maryland during the War of 1812 and were brought to freedom in Nova Scotia by the British Royal Navy as part of the Black Refugee movement.[3] The Halls first lived in Summerville, Nova Scotia where Jacob worked in a shipyard operated by Abraham Cunard until they bought a farm across the Avon River at Horton Bluff.[4] Hall first worked in shipyards at nearby Hantsport, Nova Scotia,[5] before going to sea at the age of seventeen. He sailed first on merchant ships based out of the Minas Basin including the barque Kent of Kentville, Nova Scotia.[6]
Hall briefly served in the United States Navy from 1847 to 1849. He served for a time aboard USS Ohio alongside John Taylor Wood, who later supported Hall's US Navy pension claim.[7]
Hall volunteered for the British Royal Navy in February 1852, serving at first aboard HMS Rodney. Hall fought in the Crimean War serving ashore in a Naval Brigade from Rodney at the battles of Inkerman and Sebastapol in 1854.[8]
When the Indian Mutiny broke out in May 1857, Hall was on the screw frigate HMS Shannon en route to China. She was intercepted and ordered to Calcutta (since renamed Kolkata). A brigade from Shannon was formed of several gunners, sailors, and marines, under Captain William Peel. The ship was towed over 600 miles (970 km) up the Ganges River to Allahabad. Then the force fought across country to Campbell's headquarters at Cawnpore and were in time to take part in the Siege of Lucknow.
Relief of Lucknow[edit]
On 16 November 1857 at Lucknow, India, naval guns were brought up close to the Shah Nujeff mosque, and the gun crews kept up a steady fire in an attempt to breach and clear the walls, while a hail of musket balls and grenades from the mutineers inside the mosque caused heavy casualties. Able Seaman Hall and Lieutenant Thomas James Young, the battery's commander, were eventually the only survivors, all the rest having been killed or wounded, and between them they loaded and served the last gun, which was fired at less than 20 yards from the wall, until it was breached. The joint citation in the Gazette reads:
Lieutenant (now Commander) Young, late Gunnery Officer of Her Majesty's ship " Shannon," and William Hall, "Captain of the Foretop," of that Vessel, were recommended by the late Captain Peel for the Victoria Cross, for their gallant conduct at a 24-Pounder Gun, brought up to the angle of the Shah Nujjiff, at Lucknow, on the 16th of November, 1857.[9]
Later career[edit]
Hall remained with the Royal Navy for the rest of his career. He joined the crew of HMS Donegal in 1859 and on 28 October 1859, he was presented with the Victoria Cross by Rear Admiral Charles Talbot while Donegal was anchored at Queenstown Harbour. Hall rose to the rating of Petty Officer First Class in HMS Royal Adelaide by the time he retired in 1876. He returned to his home village in Horton Bluff where he ran a small farm until his death in 1904.[10]
Hall is buried in Hantsport, Nova Scotia where his grave is marked by a monument at the Baptist church. The Royal Canadian Legion in Hantsport is named "The Lucknow Branch" in honour of his Victoria Cross action.
Hall's original Victoria Cross was repatriated from Britain in 1967 by the government of Nova Scotia and is on permanent display at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax.
Hall is also featured in exhibits at the Halifax Citadel and at the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia. Canada Post commemorated William Hall on a stamp, first issued on February 1, 2010 in Hantsport, Nova Scotia and officially launched at the Black Cultural Centre on 2 February 2010.[11] Hall was designated a National Historic Person by the Canadian Historic Sites and Monuments Board at Hantsport on 8 October 2010 and a new plaque was unveiled in his honour.[12]
In November 2010, a connector road in Hantsport was named the William Hall V.C. Memorial Highway. A sign, bearing Hall's likeness, was erected on the road from Highway 101 to Trunk 1 near Hantsport.[13]
It was announced on 26 June 2015 that the fourth ship in the Royal Canadian Navy's Harry DeWolf class would be named for William Hall. The ship will be constructed at Halifax Shipyards in Halifax.[14][15]

Not all religions have imposed moral precepts upon their adherents, but all those known as "world religions" have made such a firm connection between their practice and the practice of the moral virtues. Living a morally upright life is, in the teaching of any of these religions, essential for salvation, however the particular religion conceives of it.
A tight connection between religion and morality may be held to distinguish the advanced religions from more primitive ones such as the religion of classical Greece, greatly to the credit of the advanced religions. But these religions do not merely exhort their followers to live virtuous lives, they lay down what they take to be the correct principles of morality. These may be challenged by philosophers and others: the philosopher Bernard Williams asserted with satisfaction that no one now regards chastity as a virtue. It is a mistake to believe that there is a universal morality shared among all human beings, or all civilized human beings. There is, no doubt, a consensus about the right way to behave in everyday life, not toward other people in general but toward those regarded as equals, but this covers only a few of our actions. Beyond that, religions differ almost as much in the moral principles they proclaim as in their beliefs about the world and the destiny of men and women.
Christian morality is distinctive, and goes back to apostolic times. In sexual matters it is severe, demanding monogamy, unlike...
