Describing a 19-foot boat as powerful wasn't possible – until now. Yamaha's reliable, supercharged 1.8 liter Super High Output Marine engine packs plenty of horsepower. The extra roomy layout delivers the look and feel of a much larger boat. An oversized, in-floor locker easily accommodates wakeboards and towables. A distinctive helm and a wealth of features give the AR192 unmistakable style. Stainless steel rubrails, pop-up cleats, ultra premium snap out carpet and a garage-friendly trailer round out a long list of standard features you won't find anywhere but on a Yamaha. The AR192 delivers an unexpected dose of adrenaline and value in a 19-foot family-friendly package.
Highlights: • First boat ever offered with a supercharged 1.8L engine providing the performance of a six-cylinder engine with the fuel efficiency of a four-cylinder.• Best-in-class performance with exceptional fuel economy.• New black and grey watersports towers available on AR192 models. • Yamaha's Total Package: All features are standard.• Thrust directional enhancer for improved slow speed handling.• Premium appointments throughout• Spacious cockpit with flared bow design.• More storage than anything in its class.• Yamaha's award-winning stern design.• More space than anything in its class.• Internal drive propulsion for instant acceleration, shallow water clearance, and peace of mind.• Every part of the boat: Hull, deck and engine all manufactured and assembled by YamahaAll new for 2013 is the Yamaha 192 Series boats; the first Yamaha boats to come with a supercharged 1.8L engine and the flagships of Yamaha's 19-foot line.

Innovative Deck DesignBeginning at the bow, the 192 Series offers the roominess of most 21-foot boats with plenty of space for two adults to stretch out comfortably. The 192 Series features a "molded in" anchor locker with ample space for the anchor and rope all in one dedicated self-draining compartment. This is a feature rarely seen in a 19-foot boat.Also in the bow is storage under the seats. On the port side, the storage under the seat opens into a cavernous port console storage compartment for extra long items. Nine cup holders provide the finishing touch.The cockpit area and helm of the 192 Series is two giant steps up from that of competitive 19-foot models. From the stylized upholstery, comfortable J-shaped seating rarely seen in a 19-foot boat (AR192; the SX192 features U-shaped seating with two captain's seats), integrated, reclined rear seat backs and quality snap-in marine carpeting to advanced helm features that include Cruise Assist™ and three- position No Wake Mode™, the 192 Series is no ordinary 19-foot boat.

Harman Falls After Apple's Siri Eyes Car Market
Harman International Industries Inc., a maker of car infotainment systems, fell the most over two days this year after Apple Inc. said it's working with automakers on a Siri voice-command button for steering wheels.
The shares slid 8.9 percent for their biggest two-day decline since December. Today, they dropped 3.9 percent to $36.53 at the close in New York.
Apple said yesterday that it's working with carmakers such as Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, General Motors Co., Honda Motor Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. to add the button activating Siri, its voice-recognition software. That sent shares of Stamford, Connecticut-based Harman down 5.2 percent for the day.
"Apple is a partner, not an adversary," Harman Chief Executive Officer Dinesh Paliwal said in an interview today. Harman, which supplies equipment that combines music, maps and other information in automobiles, has been working with Apple and BMW on integrating the iPhone into BMW vehicles, he said.
The feature, Apple for Automotive, will be available on BMW vehicles this fall, Paliwal said.
The integration of smartphones into vehicles poses the greatest risk to developers of built-in infotainment systems, David Leiker, a Robert W. Baird & Co. analyst, said in a research note today.
"It is likely high-end vehicles," about 12 percent of the U.S. market, "will have a high level of embedded technology while lower-end vehicles are likely to have a large share of integrated smartphones with a whole range of combinations in between," said Leiker, who rates the shares neutral.
Harman has said its gear is in 80 percent of luxury vehicles sold.

Great product for children learning to ride a scooter.
I got this for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it...! She wants to ride it everywhere... :) Not in the house...that's my new one-liner.
We bought this scooter for our 4 yr old. I love the 2inch wide wheels. It makes for a great scooter that my toddler can use now , but will still be able to use up to 8 yrs old as compared with the 3 wheel ones that she would outgrow. It is built well and seems to be very sturdy. The handle can adjust to different heights as she grows too. I am very pleased with this product and would reccommend it compared to others.
I love this product. The wheels are wide and easier for a learner to roll on. I bought pink and the color is great. It is big and sturdy and strong. Easy to set up I did it in 2 mins flat. great gift.

This is so badass it could be Samuel L. Jackson's personal theme song. I'm writing a game for the Xbox Live Arcade, and I would LOVE to feature this song, or a version of it as a theme for one of my characters.
Seriously. Best song on this site.

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN You wouldn't believe how many people in my dorm room started busting out rhymes when this went played.
I can't stop playing this beat over . 1:13 to 1:55 is the best IMO.
Drums were catchy as fuck despite repeating and the people shouting in the background later on in the beat makes you feel your in a freestyle battle on the streets.

Contemporary World Cultures
6th Grade
Mr. C.H. Barnett
Welcome to 6th grade World Cultures! This course covers the major eras and events in the world. We will look at the cultural, political, social, economic, and geographical issues that affect the world of today and yesteryear.
In Grade 6, students study people, places, and societies of the contemporary world. Societies for study are from the following regions of the world: Europe, Russia and the Eurasian republics, North America, Central America and the Caribbean, South America, Southwest Asia-North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Pacific realm. Students describe the influence of individuals and groups on historical and contemporary events in those societies and identify the locations and geographic characteristics of various societies. Students identify different ways of organizing economic and governmental systems. The concepts of limited and unlimited government are introduced, and students describe the nature of citizenship in various societies. Students compare institutions common to all societies such as government, education, and religious institutions. Students explain how the level of technology affects the development of the various societies and identify different points of view about events. The concept of frame of reference is introduced as an influence on an individual's point of view.
Contemporary World Cultures: Year at a Glance
Test Schedule
As each unit is being taught, students will be given a Content-based Assessment to check for mastery of the objectives taught during the Unit.
A study guide will be issued for each Unit to be used to focus on the material for the upcoming CBA test.
Tutoring Schedule
Mr. Barnett will be available for tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays afterschool from 4:00 to 5:00. (Subject to change)
Grading Policy
Grading Procedures: Per EISD standards, grades for 6th grade classes will be weighted as follows:
50% of the total grade will be made up of summative grades (includes tests, quizzes, projects, presentations, final copies)
50% of the total grade will be made up of formative grades (includes homework, daily work, interactive notebook assignments)
Student work will be graded on the following scale:
Edgewood ISD has stated: Homework has a definite place in the instructional program and is part of the District's aims or philosophy of education. At every grade level and in every subject area, homework must be purposeful, reasonable, and understandable to the individual student. Homework must be properly administered and free from unreasonably long assignments. All daily homework assignments will be graded and recorded the following day after they are given. Homework should provide opportunities for the practice of needed skills, and should not, under any circumstances, be assigned as punishment.
Research has shown that a great number of our students fail or earn low grades in courses because of failure to complete and turn in homework, projects, other assignments, and absenteeism. These four areas have a direct correlation in these students earning low grades in weekly and semester exams.
Parents, teachers, and students should be very aware that homework is mandated by Board Policy and is an important and significant part in student achievement.
Homework gives the individual student the opportunity to apply independent study skills and to develop self-discipline as well as providing reinforcing role in the learning process.
Homework can be defined by two broad categories: (1) short term related to classroom activities such as daily homework assignments, to be reviewed the next day by the teacher or class, and (2) long-term which are extended assignments such as projects and term/research papers.
Homework assignments will not be done during any class time.
Reasons for Homework:
· to teach students self-discipline and individual accountability
· to make students aware of their responsibility in the learning process
· to rely on their learning ability independent from the teacher
· to encourage parents to get involved in the learning process
· to reinforce the regular class work
· to increase learning time
· to instill in the student that learning is a continuous life long endeavor
· to reinforce study habits
Missing/Late Assignments
EISD policy states: For any class missed, the teacher may assign the student makeup work based on the instructional objectives for the subject or course and the needs of the individual student in mastering the essential knowledge and skills or in meeting subject or course requirements.
A student will be responsible for obtaining and completing the makeup work in a satisfactory manner and within the time specified by the teacher. A student who does not make up assigned work within the time allotted by the teacher will receive a grade of zero for the assignment.
A student will be permitted to make up tests and to turn in projects due in any class missed because of absence. Teachers may assign a late penalty to any long-term project in accordance with time lines approved by the principal and previously communicated to students.
If a student has been absent, it is their responsibility to obtain the assignments they missed during their absence. In Mr. Barnett's room there is a wall of shelves. On these shelves each class period will have a "make up work" bin. Inside of this bin will be the assignments students missed with their name and the date the assignment was given. Students will be allowed 2 days for each day they were absent to complete the missing work with no late penalty. For example if a student was absent on Monday the missing work would be due on Thursday.
Late assignments will be accepted, however a penalty will be given for late assignments. There will be a 3 day grace period. For every day an assignment is turned in past its original due date grace period, it will have 5 points deducted from the final grade. After Three weeks or 15 days past original due date, the late assignment will not be accepted and will be given a grade of zero.
For example, if an assignment was due on Monday, they have until Thursday to turn in without penalty. If the work is not turned in until the following Tuesday ( 4 days past grace period), the highest grade the student could obtain on the assignment would be an 80.

On 5th April, 2003 The Darkness were booked to play at LA2, but tickets were in such demand they had to move upstairs to The Astoria. They became the first band to sell out this venue without a record deal. It was this gig that created their reputation as true rock gods. On 11th November Carling will be bringing the band back to the venue.
The Darkness have become a truly British phenomenon since bursting onto the music scene this year: they�ve had a huge hit with their debut single, I Believe in a Thing Called Love and their album, Permission to Land, went to Number One and has sold over 750,000 copies. This Carling Homecoming gig will be the last chance to see The Darkness this year as they embark on their sold out tour of the UK!
This gig will be completely free and tickets can only be won through carlinglive.com. However, The Fly & Popex have teamed up with carlinglive.com to offer one lucky winner and a friend the chance to go by entering our competition to win a pair of tickets.
This is the sixth show in the Carling Homecoming series which has seen massive acts such as Manic Street Preachers, Primal Scream, Charlatans and Jamiroquai returning to intimate venues that have played an important part in the history of these bands.

What: Shares of PVR Partners (NYSE: PVR.DL ) jumped as much as 16% today after the company got a buyout offer from Regency Energy Partners LP (NYSE: RGP ) .
So what: Owners of PVR Partners would get 1.02 shares of Regency Energy Partners in the buyout, and a total of about $40 million in cash. That was a premium of about 26% to yesterday's close, but Regency Energy Partners is down 10% today, so the value of the offer has become less attractive overnight.
Now what: Consolidation is commonplace in the pipeline business these days, so the buyout itself isn't surprising. What may face a challenge is the price, given the fact that PVR owners are only getting a 10% premium after Regency's drop. I don't think this is the time to sell PVR, just in case the offer increases. The worst-case scenario is that the buyout falls through, and we're back to where we were yesterday.

Report – Mirror's Edge 2 on hold, EA won't comment
According to a machine-translated report, EA has placed Mirror's Edge 2 on hold.
The V!chachu report apparently says that EA had shown off a demo of the sequel internally, but those who were working on it at DICE have now moved on and that the project has "stalled".
EA told VG247 it couldn't "comment on speculation."
The original released in 2008.
EA Games Europe VP Patrick Soderlund confirmed at E3 in 2009 that a small team was working on a sequel.
The previous game did critically well but failed to attract decent sales.
EA boss John Riccitiello said at the end of 2009, however, that Mirror's Edge does "deserve a sequel."

Quick GuideOsteoporosis Pictures Slideshow: Are Your Bones at Risk?
How often should DXA scans be repeated to monitor treatment?
The frequency of monitoring osteoporosis treatment using DXA scans is highly controversial. Some doctors recommend DXA scanning at one- to two-year intervals to monitor changes in bone density during treatment. But recent scientific evidence questions the usefulness of such interval monitoring. Reasons why repeating bone density scans is extremely tricky include:
- Bone density changes so slowly that the changes may be smaller than the measurement error of the machine. In other words, repeat DXA scans cannot distinguish between a "real" increase in bone density or a mere variation in measurement from the machine itself. Typically, BMD changes 1% per year, which is less than the error of a DXA machine (usually in the range of 3%). Changes of less than 2%-4% in the vertebrae and 3%-6% at the hip from test to test can be due to the precision error of the method.
- Whereas the real purpose of prescription osteoporosis treatment is to decrease future bone fractures, there is no good correlation between increases in bone density as measured by DXA with decreases in fracture risks with treatment. There are multiple examples of this in recent clinical studies. For example, the improvement in BMD only accounted for 4% of the reduction in spine fracture risk with raloxifene (Evista), 16% of the reduction in spine fracture risk with alendronate (Fosamax), and 18% of the reduction in spine fracture risk with risedronate (Actonel, Atelvia). Thus, improvement in BMD does not indicate the amount of the antifracture benefit of osteoporosis medication. Prescription medication may decrease a person's risk of fracture even when there is no apparent increase in BMD. Physicians and nonphysicians alike are often surprised to learn this information!
- Even if the DXA scan shows continued deterioration in bone density during treatment, no research data exists demonstrating that changing a medication, combining medications, or increasing medication doses will be safe and helpful in decreasing the future risk of fractures compared to just continuing the same medication.
- Even if a person's bone density deteriorates during treatment, it is quite likely that the person would have lost even more bone density without treatment.
- Recent research has shown that women who lose bone density after the first year of menopausal hormone therapy will gain bone density in the next two years, whereas women who gain in the first year will tend to lose density in the next two years of therapy. Therefore, bone density during treatment naturally fluctuates and may not be indicative of the fracture protection of the medication.
What is the cost of DXA?
The cost for DXA scanning varies depending on insurance policies and coverage. In general, a patient without health-care coverage paying cash can expect to pay approximately $200-$300 U.S. for the procedure.

Brown Rice vs. White Rice: Which Is Better?
June 14, 2010 -- Replacing white rice in your diet with brown rice may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to a new study.
The finding is important because the consumption of white rice in the United States has increased dramatically in the past few decades, and about 18 million Americans have type 2 diabetes.
Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health say eating two or more servings of brown rice weekly seems to be associated with a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, they report, eating five or more servings of white rice per week is associated with an increased risk.
Qi Sun, MD, now an instructor of medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, and colleagues at Harvard estimate that replacing 50 grams daily of white rice (uncooked, equivalent to a one-third serving) with the same amount of brown rice would lower the risk of type 2 diabetes by 16%.
Replacing the same amount of white rice with other whole grains, such as barley and wheat, is associated with a 36% reduced risk.
The study is published in the online journal Archives of Internal Medicine.
The researchers say the study is the first to specifically examine white rice vs. brown rice in relation to development of type2 diabetes among Americans.
"Rice consumption in the U.S. has dramatically increased in recent decades," Sun says in a news release. "We believe replacing white rice and other refined grains with whole grains, including brown rice, would lower the risk of type 2 diabetes."
White rice is created by removing the bran and germ portions of brown rice. The authors say that more than 70% of rice eaten in the U.S. is white.
Brown Rice Reduces Diabetes Risk
The scientists examined rice consumption and diabetes risk in 39,765 men and 157,463 women in three large studies -- the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study and the Nurses' Health Study I and II.
They analyzed responses to questionnaires completed every four years about diet, lifestyle, and health conditions.

Reference Date: 20-November-2015
Planting of 2016 wheat crop in progress under mostly favourable conditions
Rice production in 2015 forecast to decrease
Reduced wheat imports forecast in 2015/16 marketing year (May/April)
Prices of wheat and wheat flour declined in February and well below year-earlier levels
Overall food security conditions stable but localized food insecurity persists
Planting of the 2016, mostly irrigated, ''rabi'' (winter) wheat crop is currently underway. The official planting intentions survey points to a 2 percent year-on-year contraction to 8.98 million hectares. The reduction reflects high production costs, ample stocks and the Government decision to leave minimum support prices unchanged this year.
However, despite this, the early official forecast of production in 2016 points to a record output of 26 million tonnes, 3 percent up from the 2015 bumper level, under expectations that good water availability in the main reservoirs and adequate supply of quality seeds, fertilizers and herbicides will increase average yields.
Harvesting of the 2015 rainfed "kharif" season crops, mostly rice and maize, is currently underway and is expected to be concluded in early December. Latest official estimates put the 2015 rice production at 9.9 million tonnes, 6 percent below the 2014 record level. The forecast decrease is largely due to a 5 percent contraction in area planted in response to large stocks and high production costs. Localized floods across northern and northeastern parts of the country, following heavy rains in July and August, caused only minor damage to crops. FAO's latest forecast puts the 2015 aggregate maize production similar to last year's good level of 4.6 million tonnes. Final official estimates of the 2015 wheat crop, harvested by mid-June, put output at 25.5 million tonnes, 2 percent below last year's record and 4 percent above the five-year average. The year-on-year decrease is attributed to slightly lower yields, following heavy rains in March, which affected standing crops in the final stages of development.
Wheat imports for the 2015/16 marketing year (May/April) are forecast to decline to 250 000 tonnes from 741 000 tonnes in the previous year, in line with the 2015 good output and large carryover stocks. Rice exports for the 2015/16 marketing year (September/August) are forecast at 3.9 million tonnes, close to last year's high level.
Prices of wheat and wheat flour increased slightly during the first two weeks of November, mainly due to the growing costs of locally-produced wheat. However, prices remained below their year earlier levels. Prices of rice decreased in most markets, reflecting new supplies from the ongoing 2015 harvest.
Overall, the food supply situation is stable following consecutive years of good harvests and large carryover stocks of the main staples.
According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis conducted in March-June 2015, out of 148 districts, 29 districts in Pakistan were classified under Phase 3: "Crisis" (highly food insecure and require immediate attention) and four districts were found under Phase 4: "Humanitarian Emergency" (severely food insecure and need immediate response). In Tharparkar District (southeastern Sindh Province) and the surrounding areas of Sindh Province, cereal production shortfalls due to drought-like situation for the third consecutive year, coupled with losses of small animals, especially sheep and goats, have aggravated food insecurity and caused acute malnutrition. Furthermore, the floods in July and August had affected approximately 1.5 million people, mainly in Sindth Province. Severe damage to housing and infrastructure, including roads and bridges has also been reported. In addition, losses of stored food and livestock are likely to be high in the most affected areas, resulting in a deterioration of the food security situation of the affected population. Recurrent insecurity has negatively impacted on food security in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), located in northern Pakistan. According to the FATA Disaster Management Authority, as of mid-November 2015, some 638 144 people remained temporarily displaced.

Nuclear Regulation:
NRC's Efforts to Ensure Effective Plant Maintenance Are Incomplete
RCED-91-36: Published: Dec 17, 1990. Publicly Released: Dec 21, 1990.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-6082
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined the: (1) importance of safe nuclear power plant operations; and (2) status of the debate between the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the nuclear utility industry on the need for facility maintenance regulations.
GAO found that: (1) while both NRC and the industry agreed that maintenance was crucial to safe, reliable, and efficient power plant operations and nuclear utilities improved such maintenance, some problems still remained; (2) the debate centered on NRC need to establish additional comprehensive maintenance regulations, NRC endorsement of the industry's program, and the specific plant areas and systems included in such regulations or programs; (3) NRC concluded that the lack of comprehensive regulations applicable to maintenance contributed to inconsistency in utility program implementation; and (4) NRC proposed maintenance regulations that would broaden its oversight over all plant systems. In addition, GAO found that industry opposed NRC maintenance regulations over all systems, since: (1) powerplants developed a nearly identical program; (2) including all balance-of-plant systems would dilute attention from the plant's safety-related portions; and (3) NRC lacked guidance that the utilities could use to establish acceptable maintenance programs. GAO also found that: (1) industry believed that utilities, not NRC, should determine the plant systems, structures, and components to be emphasized in maintenance programs; (2) NRC lacked specific standards applicable to all aspects of plant operations and extrapolated the results of selected samples of utility operations to make a judgement about the entire plant; and (3) industry questioned NRC ability to develop a single quantitative indicator to predict equipment or system failures resulting from poor maintenance practices.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In June 1991, NRC issued a final rule on maintenance. According to NRC, the final rule would enable it to provide more direct authority for NRC enforcement actions in the balance of plant prior to actual equipment failures.
Recommendation: To provide the foundation for ensuring utilities' future commitment to effective plant maintenance, the Chairman, NRC, should base the decision on the need for additional regulations, in large measure, on NRC ability to enforce corrective actions in all plant areas, including balance-of-plant.
Agency Affected: Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: NRC agrees with the recommendation and intends to modify its regular inspection program to include additional attention to maintenance issues. Further, NRC may perform special maintenance team inspections on an as needed basis upon informing the Commission.
Recommendation: To help NRC ensure compliance with the maintenance requirements eventually established, the Chairman, NRC, should ensure that NRC continually examines utilities' commitment to maintenance either through its regular inspection program or by periodically conducting special team inspections after April 1991.
Agency Affected: Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: NRC agreed in principle with the recommendation. NRC notes that its maintenance effectiveness indicator does not identify all areas in need of review. NRC believes its existing performance indicator program can be used in conjunction with inspections.
Recommendation: To help NRC ensure compliance with the maintenance requirements eventually established, the Chairman, NRC, should integrate performance indicators into the inspection process.

Life Katrinaversary
We're coming up on the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina and the tragedy in New Orleans, and I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty of one-year-later commemorations in the coming weeks. (If I had cable, I'd totally be watching this.)
Yesterday I caught an unusual bit of post-Katrina footage on YouTube (where I'd been directed by Towleroad). It's, uh, Celine Dion (ew) being interviewed via satellite by Larry King (ew!), and for the first minute or so I was certain the point was Celion Dion is an asshole. But then it totally turns around. By the end, or at least before the closing song, I was feeling something I'd never, ever felt before: the urge to applaud Celine Dion.
Check it out here.

I loved the flavor of this! At first I thought with 5 cups of sugar it would be way too sweet. It was very sweet but it has a great flavor that sneaks up on you. The texture was a bit crumbly for my tastes. I think I will try this again and replace the powdered sugar with white chocolate chips. Thanks!
I really enjoyed making this and seeing it turn out. I used a tablespoon of spice since my applesauce was very plain. The results are wonderful! Thanks, I now have a new recipe to add to my collection!!!
Oh my gosh, this is so good. This was my first time making any kind of candy with a candy thermometer and I was worried it wouldn't turn out right. It turned out perfectly and it tastes exactly like the expensive apple pie fudge I would buy in the gourmet candy stores. I won't be buying it any more though :D Thanks for such an easy and tasty recipe!
This was very easy to make.I used homemade applesauce.I love it..and everyone that has tried it says the same.Good texture,great flavor.Thanks so much,this will now be one of my favorites.
I didn't have regular applesauce, so I strained some raspberry applesauce and used that. Smells SOOO good while cooking! I just about died. Wow. Mine was a bit crumbly, I may have overcooked. But the flavour was unbelievably great and my family at it all up in just a couple days.

This paper presents a novel neural network based technique for face detection that eliminates limitations pertaining to the skin color variations among people. We propose to model the skin color in the three dimensional RGB space which is a color cube consisting of all the possible color combinations. Skin samples in images with varying lighting conditions, from the Old Dominion University skin database, are used for obtaining a skin color distribution. The primary color components of each plane of the color cube are fed to a three-layered network, trained using the backpropagation algorithm with the skin samples, to extract the skin regions from the planes and interpolate them so as to provide an optimum decision boundary and hence the positive skin samples for the skin classifier. The use of the color cube eliminates the difficulties of finding the non-skin part of training samples since the interpolated data is consider skin and rest of the color cube is consider non-skin. Subsequent face detection is aided by the color, geometry and motion information analyses of each frame in a video sequence. The performance of the new face detection technique has been tested with real-time data of size 320×240 frames from video sequences captured by a surveillance camera. It is observed that the network can differentiate skin and non-skin effectively while minimizing false detections to a large extent when compared with the existing techniques. In addition, it is seen that the network is capable of performing face detection in complex lighting and background environments.

Born and raised in the bustling suburb of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I graduated from my adopted home of Melbourne, Australia, with a Bachelor's Degree in Computing. Starting with basic jewellery craft in 2007, I quickly moved on to wire jewellery two weeks later and was instantly hooked. Thinking of a way to innovate, I realized that the art of Chinese Knot/Knotting would introduce a certain je ne sais quoi to my creations, and thus began my fascination and passion for creation in this style and medium.
Amongst the encouragement that accompanied my first tutorial though, there were some who felt that i should be writing tutorials in my mother tongue, on the narrow minded pretext of there being a glut of tutorials for the English speaking audience.
I believe art should live naturally and be expressed as freely as breathing, which is why I continue to write and design as much as I can, in as many languages as I can. Today I am presenting Handmade Wire Jewelry here in and from Malaysia, majoring in Wired Chinese Knot/Knotted Jewelry series. Wires taught me to be humble, and I give a short prayer of thanks each time they survive my designs.
Original Price: USD$10.
Jewelry Jacket, add fresh, exciting appearance to your existing, plain or boring jewelry.
I am totally excited about this newly finalized creation!
I was cracking my head on what do I do about the knotted flower petals and then I decided to leave it as it is so YOU can decide what to do about it. :)
With an almost 11mo baby I have, as usual, very limited time to work with my wires, so this pretty took me about 5 days to complete, averagely 2 hours a day, so it's a total 10 hours, not too bad for a handmade jewelry project. :)
To see Forget-Me-Knot in action: http://youtu.be/o_HGH1OdjUA
To learn how to break the wires naturally: http://youtu.be/RRV3J9wsMWU
- Thanks to folks over the internet in sharing Chinese Knot knowledge that makes everything I do today possible.
PLEASE DO NOT LEND TO OTHERS, SHARE AMONG FORUM, SHARE AMONG FRIENDS, COPY AND MASS PRODUCE THE PENDANT OUT OF IT. Please do not copy text, pictures, or any resources from within this tutorial, this tutorial is meant for PERSONAL USE ONLY. Corra appreciate any help in protecting Corra and her creations/designs/resources - please keep in mind that PLAGIARISM KILL CREATIVITY AND SHARING. And if you would be so kind, please give a credit to Corra if her tutorial inspired you or helped you in your jewelry making journey, it would be greatly appreciated!

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (September 23, 2013)—Orbital Sciences Corp.'s Cygnus capsule won't attempt to dock with the International Space Station for a week.
The capsule was supposed to arrive Sunday, but the rendezvous was aborted because of a discrepancy in navigation data between the two vessels.
The Virginia company has developed and tested a software repair to sync up the two sets of GPS data, but on Monday, NASA and Orbital Sciences agreed to delay this second delivery attempt until at least Saturday because of the time needed to come up with the fix and an impending manned mission from Kazakhstan.
Three astronauts are scheduled to lift off aboard a Russian rocket Wednesday and should arrive at the space station later in the day.
This is the maiden voyage of the Cygnus.

I recently used a can of compressed air to clear my laptop's air vents from dust and other dirt that accumulated over time. While doing so, I did not hold the CPU fan in place in order to stop it from spinning as a result of the inwards air flow.
Now, when the machine is powered on, I can clearly hear a rattling noise coming from the CPU fan. There is no noticeable increase in CPU temperature as far as I can tell. Besides the noise, it seems to work perfectly fine even under heavy load.
I'm interested in the technical explanation for what is happening and why it is happening. Also, is this a problem that can/should be fixed without getting a replacement fan?
The noise is actually most noticeable when the machine is idling (i.e. when the fan is spinning at a moderate speed). As the fan speeds up under heavy CPU load, the rattling noise does not really increase in loudness, only in frequency and tone. I haven't had the chance to open it up yet, so all ideas are still welcome.
I finally got around to taking a closer look, this is what I found:
It looked pretty bad, but the problem still persists after thoroughly cleaning the fan. Any other ideas? I'm about to order a replacement fan.

I have a small site at http://www.carynscanlan.com , that doesn't get a lot of traffic. I'm running very few, well-recommended, common plugins.
Two weeks ago I contacted support because my site was agonizingly slow. They said, do all these things, because you're reaching your RAM limit of 500MB (which apparently isn't very much,) and it should get better. So, I did all those things. No change.
I contacted them again yesterday, and got the same cut and paste response, telling me my site is reaching the RAM limit and being cut off. I have run sites in the last few years with WAY more traffic, plugins etc than my current site and not had any problems, so none of this makes any sense to me.
Any one have any suggestions?

The year 1776 produced two documents in the western world that changed man's destiny.
The first of these was our very own Declaration of Independence.
Most of us either understand the fundamental idea of this document or go through life without a high school diploma.
It was epochal. Never before had a native people rebelled against their own king with so principled an argument. We not only were permitted, we were obligated to declare ourselves free of a king's law when the king violated his first and most sacred obligation to us: to treat equally those who shared his blood. As we Americans came to understand it, a man seated on the most exalted throne on earth is sitting on nothing more than his own . . . backside.
Few people on this planet are completely ignorant of this document and the justification it establishes to breach one's own sacred laws and deny we are outlaws. It affirms that the institution of government owes its own people certain considerations with regard to the naked exercise of power, and a major one is the degree to which the state can tell anyone what to do when he isn't hurting somebody else.
We all believe this in our ways.
The second document was published by a Scottish professor of political economy, or "police and revenue" as it was then known, named Adam Smith. It was titled "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations."
Now, if you ask around, you will find that very few Americans know anything about this important work. It, too, changed the world, but its study is not encouraged. Some consider it too boring, others too difficult, but the fact is that most people go through life blithely ignorant of and utterly dominated by its force.
It is not, as the character Gordon Gecko said in Wall Street, about greed. It is about enlightened self-interest and the functioning of the market.
Adam Smith's views came to define the field of economics and set it as a discipline apart from the recognized sciences of the day. He articulated how the "invisible hand" of self-interest creates the most efficient means of distributing resources. He also argued that the ethical considerations which create wealth in society create social welfare only as a byproduct.
Most of the world functions according to market principles. Even communist countries. Most Americans don't know that in the 1950s and 1960s, at the peak of the Soviet Union's centrally planned economy, over half that nation's food came from the 10 percent of arable land the peasants were allowed to farm on their time off.
Every Sunday produced little stalls on major roads outside major cities where women would sell the produce of their gardens, and when the state markets closed, the little stalls along the road raised their prices through the roof.
Communist China has Hong Kong - the worst "special case" in the world. Hong Kong has been allowed to continue its peculiar role in China, acting as a major currency exchange for all of Asia, which would be kind of like our letting Rhode Island go communist so we could benefit from what it develops as techniques for social control.
These are just the communist states. The non-communist world accepts the market and its primary benefit: that of providing mankind with the goods and services we want at the lowest cost.
What that means in practical terms is that those Egyptian cotton shirts get to you at the lowest possible price because if it could be done any cheaper, someone would be doing it.
The idea of bounded competition is central to our identity as a good people. Yes, we play a tough and dangerous game called football. We do it because there are a lot of people willing to pay money to watch it. But we don't put our 11th man in the stands with a rifle no matter how badly we are outscored.
We really ought to spend some time with both these writings because together they answer two central questions: Why are we free and what should we do with that freedom?
Why we are free is mainly taken for granted. Most Americans believe in their own freedom without critical reflection, which I believe is one of the reasons we surrender our liberty so easily. But most Americans have a poor idea of what to do with their freedom, even the ones who get up and go to work every day. We may dimly understand that if we don't work, we won't eat or pay our bills, and for many that may be enough. But so superficial an appreciation of the market is inadequate to sustain us as a people. Those with a poor idea of the market can easily miss how powerfully market forces can shape behavior.
The law, as Charles Dickens pointed out, "is a ass."
Given a choice between police coercion and market pressure, the law is clumsy and inefficient.
It is the best we can do for managing the gross insults to society, but it is utterly unsuited to fine-tuning.
And as we raise our young, we owe them the understanding of what it means to have one's bread buttered.

Scenario 2: I'm sending the Mail with another test account to another proprietary server to the same mailaddress, with two test systems. This mail is rejected as ratware. I've already talked to the server administrator, he said that the mail generation is incorrect. There is no valid EHLO greeting: "remote host used our name in HELO/EHLO greeting."

Parents who will have children in kindergarten through sixth grades during the 2012-13 school year, are you looking for a school that:
A. Has small class sizes,
B. Provides individualized instruction to students, and
C. Has high academic achievement?
Then you should consider enrolling your child or children in Cannelton elementary schools for the 2012-13 school year.

I ended the life of a box turtle the Sunday before Memorial Day. It was an accident and while my conscience isn't as easily shaken as it once was, I felt remorse.
The turtle was crossing, or attempting to, Indiana 66 between Grandview and Rockport. I saw it in plenty of time and even slowed. However, it was in the area of driving lane where my passenger-side tires would normally be. I could have swerved left but an oncoming car prevented a deft maneuver.
If you read the Evansville Courier & Press, you might have seen the recent report of the death of a cyclist on Green River Road. Such news brings the realization that with summer, rising gas prices and school being out of session, more of our neighbors, co-workers, family and friends will be out and about on bicycles. It also reminds us of the importance of sharing the road safely.

I would like to better understand the argument presented in your editorial titled "Don't Belittle the Opponents of Gay Marriage" but unfortunately your logic has failed to convince me.
Past civil-rights battles have been won when insisting upon the equal rights ultimately sped legislation and acceptance of these rights. Contrary to your argument, many would argue that by not having the legal right to same-sex marriage that their love and commitment to their partner is the victim being belittled.
It's summertime. It's going to be very hot. Let's take care of our furry loved ones. Let's take care of our dogs and cats.
Here are a few tips to keep care of our pets.
• Never leave an animal in a car. Temperatures can reach 150 degrees or hotter even if you have your windows cracked.
• Always make sure that our outdoor pets have plenty of cool water and fresh food.
Tell City Knights of Columbus Council 1172 would like to thank the entire community for its support of our annual Tootsie Roll Drive.
The many volunteers from Council 1172 were successful in reaching our monetary goal by collecting more than $4,800.
These donations will be contributed equally to the programs for mentally challenged citizens of Perry County.
The debate about whether government should sanction or prevent gay marriage is missing the essential point that government has no call to be involved at all with the matter of marriage.
Marriage is a personal decision by two (or more?) people to enter into a certain kind of relationship.
It is not the government's prerogative or bailiwick or duty or necessity to inject itself into the matter of marriage. The government should butt out of the marriage business.
By MARLIN BETTS, Guest Columnist
Recently our vice president and then our president publicly announced they personally are supportive of gay marriage in the United States.
At first I was upset that our country's leadership would go on record with this stance. But I knew in my heart that it was just a matter of time before one of our presidents did so. This issue has been building to this point, just like other moral issues have reached a similar point in the past.
