La planificación de una visita a Los Outer Banks? Te invitamos a venir y disfrutar de nuestra posada costera informal pero elegante, donde se puede tomar un paseo en la playa, jugar con las olas, o simplemente sumergir sus pies en el Océano Atlántico. Situado a sólo 125 metros del mar en Mile Post 8 en el camino de la playa (1 lote de frente al mar) en Kill Devil Hills, el Cypress House Inn es el alojamiento y desayuno más cercano al océano. Un acceso a la playa pública está justo en frente de la posada. Estamos ubicados a todas las atracciones de la zona. El Cypress House Inn fue aprobado como un hito histórico en la ciudad el 10 de diciembre de 2007. La ciudad de Kill Devil Hills Junta de Comisarios, con la recomendación para su aprobación por la Comisión de Preservación Histórica de la Ciudad, aprobó por unanimidad una ordenanza que designa a la Casa Cypress como un hito histórico local.

We had a great stay here. Veda and Bill are wonderful and the breakfast was delicious. Beach was right across the street and several good restaurants within walking distance.

We found Cypress House many years ago, and it has become our go-to place when we go to OBX. Bill and Veda are wonderful hosts, and make you feel very comfortable. We stayed in the newly renovated 3/4 room, which is lovely. The new bathroom is so roomy, and the shower is so soothing. The breakfast fare is delicious and a great start to the day. Bill is very knowledgeable and can always recommend an interesting place to visit. It's so nice to stay in a place like this that's owned by locals because you can learn so much about the history of the area. We highly recommend this inn to anyone looking for a quiet and friendly get away.

We just loved our 2 nights here! The Inn is charming, very clean and comfortable. Every room is beautifully appointed, as well as, equipped with everything you could need. We chose this inn on a recommendation of friends and so glad we did. It has a great history,The Inn is close to everything & therefor is on a busy road. However, the guest room was very quiet in spite of the traffic. The beach is a very short walk across the street. Beach chairs & beach towels were provided at no extra charge. The Innkeepers, Veda & Bill, provide a full course breakfast in the dinning room where all the guests are seated together. Bill & Veda, were willing to share their limited free time with the guests, for short periods throughout the stay. We returned to the Inn one night at 10:45 pm & discovered we had neglected to take the key, provided to us, for the front door of the Inn. We were very embarrassed when we had to call the innkeepers from the porch. It was obvious everyone was in bed except us.Veda answered our call with a cheery voice and Bill let us back in with a smile on his face. It was a great place & the next time we visit we will stay there. We would recommend this Inn to anyone! Rosemary & Bert

Just returned from a 4 night stay....I am in LOVE with this place! It is just across the street from the beach; the room was extremely comfortable and welcoming. I loved the family and friendly atmosphere; met some great people, while enjoying a first class breakfast. I cannot rave enough about Bill, Veda, Stephen AND Sassy; they were wonderful hosts! My first time here and it will NOT be my last :-)!

Stayed for a few nights in August 2012. The location is great across from the beach. The only thing I did not like was the extremely hard and older mattress. Also, I am used to staying in B&B's that allow you to come down to breakfast within a time frame and not have everyone come down at one specific time. Why are tables outside on the porch if you can't take your breakfast outside? Owners are nice and welcoming. They provide towels and beach chairs which is nice.

We love this place. The owners, Bill and Veda, are great hosts. The homemade breakfast every morning is delicious and the room we stayed in was spacious and comfortable. This was our first time at the outer banks, but it won't be our last. We will definitely be back to stay at the Cypress House Inn!

The Inn is just delightful and located close to the beach. We met really nice and interesting guests at the delicious breakfasts that Bill and Veda served. We'd love to return for another visit. It was so much more homey and comfortable than a hotel.

Very nice place to go for a get away! Great access to a very nice beach! The rooms were very nice and clean. Bill and Veda are GREAT! Provide excellent information on things to do and where to eat in the area. They also have a beach chairs and bikes that are there for you to use. We would definitely return to this Inn!!

We just returned from two fantastic nights at the Cypress House Inn. From top to bottom it was a great experience. The owners are both incredibly nice. We enjoyed chatting with them while we ate (delicious) breakfast and throughout the day. They are both knowledgeable about the history of the inn (it's a historic landmark), and they were very helpful in offering suggestions for places to eat or things to do. It is the closest you can get to the beach with a B and B in the Outer Banks (less than a block from the beach). And the location is in the middle of most Outer Banks towns/activities. We stay in a lot of bed and breakfasts and this was as good as any. We had a truly perfect experience and will stay again if the we ever head back to the Outer Banks.

This is one of our places we like to go usually off season when we need a beach fix and a short drive from Virginia. Place is across the street from the beach. The hosts are wonderful and make outstanding breakfasts. Make reccomendations of places to eat for dinner etc. Very relaxing place to unwind.

CES 2012: Windows 8 pre-beta hands-on at The Verge
Subject: General Tech, Mobile, Shows and Expos | January 12, 2012 - 04:40 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: windows 8, microsoft, CES 2012, CES
It is no secret that Microsoft is not attending the next CES and they stated publicly that there will be minimal announcements relative to what we typically expect. While that is all true, Microsoft still has some news at the show to be indulged upon. Tim has already covered the upcoming release of Kinect to Windows for approximately the price of an entry-level 2GB RAM dual-core laptop; Microsoft had a piece of NVIDIA's keynote to discuss Windows on ARM; and Microsoft showed a newer build of Windows 8. The Verge spent some time with a Microsoft representative and took video to show for it. Find out the future for the mice that are not just going to stick with Windows 7.
Tiled of feeling blue?
Personally, I am not the biggest mobile user in the world: the majority of what I use my laptop for is to install a new version of Ubuntu, and even then I often skip versions. My cellphone usage is pay-as-you-go with $100 dollars on my account per year and somewhere around $90 of that expires or rolls over to the next year. I am not against mobile computing; I am just never in a situation where I need to use it. Keep those points in mind while I discuss Windows 8.
I am going to ignore the ability to re-skin the start screen despite it being a much desired feature. The more important development from an examination standpoint is how Microsoft expects the mouse and keyboard will fill in with Windows 8. You are able to navigate through the Metro interface left and right using your scroll wheel or alternatively hold ctrl to zoom in and out with the scroll wheel. Also on display is the top-to-bottom swipe gesture to kill an application for touchscreen users. Check them out in action for yourself at The Verge.

Took you long enough! EVGA finally shows off the dual socket SR-X
Subject: General Tech, Shows and Expos | January 12, 2012 - 12:11 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: SR-X, lga2011, evga, CES
EVGA's dual LGA 1366 SR-2 motherboard has been on the HWLB Extreme System for a while now, even as the Dream system continued to change since there has not been a new high performance dual socket motherboard ... until now. The EVGA SR-X should be replacing the board soon, paired with some LGA2011 Xeon processors. It will not be the Core i7-3930K Sandy Bridge-E CPU however, even though they are essentially trimmed down Xeons they are not designed to work in tandem. Strangely the memory is not balanced between the two sockets, with 4 DIMM slots near one socket and 8 near the other, though space is tight on the board as there are also 7 PCIe 16x slots. Check out the pictures of this board and other EVGA displays at Legit Reviews.
"It doesn't seem all that long ago that we were able to get our hands on the EVGA Classified SR-2 motherboard. It featured dual Intel LGA1366 sockets and support for Intel Xeon processors. During our meeting with EVGA this morning, the revealed the successor to the SR-2, the SR-X! The EVGA SR-X is a dual socket LGA2011 motherboard once again for Xeon processors. If you're hoping to use your Intel Sandy Bridge-E processor, unfortunately it won't work with a pair of them due the single QPI design of the Sandy Bridge-E processors."

CES Storage Roundup Part 2 - Corsair, Patriot
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 12, 2012 - 12:29 AM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: ssd, patriot, memory, flash, corsair, CES
While roaming Vegas, we came across lots of storage goodies. Here are a few:
Corsair showed their line of SSD's, with a new addition:
The new addition is on the right. This is the 'Accelerator' series, an SSD primarily meant for caching duties:
The Accelerator series will be available in 30, 45, and 60GB capacities, and will be packaged with caching driver software for those not running a Z68 or better caching capable Intel board.
Also on display was a refresh to the Voyager, Voyager GT, and Survivor series, bringing their interface up to USB 3.0 speeds.
We also saw Patriot's lineup:
Pictured above, from top down, is the following:
- Wildfire (Sandforce 6Gb/sec / Toshiba Toggle-mode flash)
- Pyro SE (Sandforce 6Gb/sec / IMFT Sync flash)
- Pyro (Sandforce 6Gb/sec / IMFT Async flash)
- Magma (Phison / Async flash)
- Mac Series (identical Pyro SE, but Apple certified)
Next is the USB lineup, with many new USB 3.0 models replacing the older 2.0 units. The Transporter series is a bit shorter than it used to be, which is a welcome bonus.
Here are Patriot's portable flash offerings, consisting of high capacity SD cards and Phison-driven mSATA and smaller (!) form factors:
This is 'mSATA mini', which is about half the length of a standard mSATA SSD. On the other end of that spectrum is a 240GB Macbook Air unit (just off camera in the above pic).
Stay Tuned!
...I've got a few more goodies to post!

Tagged: toshiba, ssd, memory, kingston, flash, CES
While roaming Vegas, we came across lots of storage goodies. Here are a few:
Toshiba was showing a 19nm flash memory wafer and all of their products containing them.
They seem to be taking their SATA SSD lines less seriously, as there were none on display. While there were no SSD's to speak of, there were USB devices:
There was also plenty of SDHC, including their own SD WiFi card - used to upload photos as they are taken.
They were also showing an SDXC card. While the shown card was a functioning 64GB unit, the SDXC format is capable of taking to cards up to 1TB in capacity.
We saw some cool stuff over at the Kingston booth:
If you look inside that case, you'll see they are now making an mSATA SSD:
They also showed their ever expanding line of USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices:
...and this really tiny model, which packs 8GB of storage into something barely big enough to unplug without the use of needle nose pliers:
Stay Tuned!
...more storage stuff is coming soon!

By now you should have hit our CES 2012 page, where all of our news coming out of CES is aggregated for you. The sad truth is that PC Perspective has yet to conquer time and space, so we can only be in one place at a time which leads to missed appointments with vendors. However, we are not the only tech site represented at CES 2012; for instance The Tech Report is running around Las Vegas as you read this. So far they've seen a Lenovo laptop/netbook which knows Yoga, seen the heights that the combined team of OCZ and Micron can climb to and tablets with better than 1080p resolution. They also weigh in on the similarities between Ultrabooks and a certain Apple product, as they are one of Intel's main focuses at this CES.

Victorinox SSD makes its debut at CES - 1TB thumb drive connected via USB or eSATA
Subject: Storage, Shows and Expos | January 10, 2012 - 08:39 PM | Allyn Malventano
Tagged: CES, usb, ssd, eSATA
Victorinox stopped me in my tracks while walking around the Pepcom Digital Experience last night. I'd heard there was a 1TB USB drive, but assumed it would be one of those things that was purely a concept and wouldn't be out for another year or two. Then I saw this:
That larger drive (center left) is a *working* 1TB SSD in a thumb drive form factor. Sure it's on the larger side, but it's no bigger than the typical 32GB USB 3.0 thumb drives are at present. One side of the SSD contains a user-programmable e-ink display, which persists even with power removed. The other side shows the beginnings of a thick stack of PCB's and stacked flash memory:
Pictured above is one of flash memory packages alongside the controller. Here's a side view:
Within this package is a sandwich of 4 thin PCB's housing a total of 4 special flash memory packages. Each package can contain an interleaved stack of 16 (!) 2xnm dies. By interleaved I mean 8 dies make up a data channel to the controller, so each package provides 2 channels. This makes the assembled device physically equivalent to an 8-channel SSD - just neatly folded and shrunk into this relatively tiny device. Since all of you know I love ripping these things apart to see what makes them tick, well, Victorinox beat me to it and had one disassembled already:
The last really cool and unique part of the design is right here:
This is a picture of the underside of the *top* of the USB connector. This part is normally the standard steel top of a USB connector, but here Victorinox has engineered a 7-pin eSATA connector into it. Modern laptops typically have an eSATA connector that is also physically and electrically compatible with USB - using the USB portion of the connector to provide extra power when a powered eSATA device is connected. eSATA devices have a connector that can plug into this hybrid port, but not into a standard USB port. This device switches that concept around, in that it is physically compatible with both USB 3.0 and eSATA ports - and can function in eSATA mode when connected to the latter. This yields reduced latency when compared to USB, which introduces more overhead.
Victorinox expects to ship these in sizes from 64GB all the way up to the 1TB capacity later this year. Estimated cost of the largest capacity? $3,000.

Corsair had a handful of new items on display at CES 2012, the most interesting of which to me was the new Obsidian 550D case that will be available in the next 3-4 weeks with a $149 price tag. It offers the same cable routing system we are used to seeing on Corsair designs but adds an interesting twist with a dual-hinged front panel door and magnetic air intake filters.

Subject: General Tech, Mobile, Shows and Expos | January 10, 2012 - 08:24 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: razer, CES 2012, CES
If you believe our title to be awkward, please glance downward a little at the concept image. While I do not want to lash on Razer for trying something that no-one has it must be said that aesthetically the concept must be altered. Hardcore PC Gamers are a unique breed, but I expect that even the most bold of gamers would be shy at holding this around in public. Now that we are past the design, let us look at what Razer claims in terms of expected hardware.
It looks like Razer is fitting a bit into Booth Category One.
Razer is being very careful about giving out too many specific details due to the concept nature of the device, but they suggested that they aim for the following:
- Intel Core i7
- 10.1" 1280x800 display
- Full Screen interface supporting multi-touch "hybrid" for PC Gaming.
- 3-axis gyro, magnetometer, accelerometer
- Force feedback
- Dolby 7.1 surround sound
- Wifi b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0
You should notice a lack of information about the expected video card but the screen resolution paired with the CPU choice should slightly indicate their intent.
What do you think? What changes, if any, would you request before you hand over your wallet?

CES 2012: MSI GUS II External Thunderbolt Graphics Upgrade System
Subject: Graphics Cards, Mobile, Shows and Expos | January 10, 2012 - 07:41 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: CES, thunderbolt, msi, gus ii, gus, external graphics
While wandering around the MSI suite at The Venetian today I came across a very interesting new device. The GUS II is an external discrete graphics card dock that connects to a notebook PC (or small-form factor, etc) via a Thunderbolt connection.
Thunderbolt is a somewhat new interface that extends the PCI Express bus outside of the machine allowing for performance as high as 10 Gb/s per channel in its full implementation. Current Intel implementations that ship with the Macbook Air and likely included in the first batch of Thunderbolt-capable Ultrabooks are built around Eagle Ridge that offers two bi-directional channels. Still, even with a 10 Gb/s rating, we are seeing more than enough bandwidth for a discrete graphics card.
You can see that device obviously won't fit your new Radeon HD 7970 3GB in there but the GUS II will support cards with as much as 150 watts of power consumption via the included external power brick. 75 watts of power is supplied by the internal PEG slot while the internal 6-pin ATX power connector supplies another 75 watts.
MSI was running an HD 5770 inside the GUS II on a MacBook Pro running Windows 7. Unigine Heaven was playing on the graphics card outputs and it was definitely running at speeds and quality settings that the GPU in the Macbook would not have been able to.
MSI mentioned they were hopeful the price would be in the $150 range which is actually quite a good surprise considering they are going to be including the Thunderbolt cable in the box - an accessory that is notoriously expensive today.
All that is holding up the GUS II from release at this point is compatibility and driver support from AMD and NVIDIA. Because you are essentially adding in another PCI Express graphics card to system that might only have been prepared and QA'd for a single one, there are some issues to work out. Even with the hardware in a basically complete state, there is no time table for release though hopefully we can get this pushed into the mainstream soon.
Thunderbolt might finally bring us the dockable and upgradeable graphics we have always envisioned for notebooks.

A vector quantizer is a system for mapping a sequence of continuous or discrete vectors into a digital sequence suitable for communication over or storage in a digital channel. The goal of such a system is data compression: to reduce the bit rate so as to minimize communication channel capacity or digital storage memory requirements while maintaining the necessary fidelity of the data. The mapping for each vector may or may not have memory in the sense of depending on past actions of the coder, just as in well established scalar techniques such as PCM, which has no memory, and predictive quantization, which does. Even though information theory implies that one can always obtain better performance by coding vectors instead of scalars, scalar quantizers have remained by far the most common data compression system because of their simplicity and good performance when the communication rate is sufficiently large. In addition, relatively few design techniques have existed for vector quantizers. During the past few years several design algorithms have been developed for a variety of vector quantizers and the performance of these codes has been studied for speech waveforms, speech linear predictive parameter vectors, images, and several simulated random processes. It is the purpose of this article to survey some of these design techniques and their applications.

For some reason the link appears in the new category AND in the main (original) category. In other words, I would like two categories of links on the sidebar with unique links in each category. Instead, any links I add to the new category appear in BOTH categories. When I write the new link, I check the correct category box near the bottom of the write category page, but the link still appears in the new category AND the main (original) category. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Influenza viruses cause annual epidemics and occasional pandemics that have claimed the lives of millions. The emergence of new strains will continue to pose challenges to public health and the scientific communities. The recent flu pandemic caused by a swine-origin influenza virus A/H1N1 (S-OIV) presents an opportunity to examine virulence factors, the spread of the infection and to prepare for major influenza outbreaks in the future. The virus contains a novel constellation of gene segments, the nearest known precursors being viruses found in swine and it probably arose through reassortment of two viruses of swine origin. Specific markers for virulence can be evaluated in the viral genome, PB1-F2 is a molecular marker of pathogenicity but is not present in the new S-OIV. While attention was focused on a threat of an avian influenza H5N1 pandemic emerging from Asia, a novel influenza virus of swine origin emerged in North America, and is now spreading worldwide. However, S-OIV demonstrates that even serotypes already encountered in past human pandemics may constitute new pandemic threats. There are concerns that this virus may mutate or reassort with existing influenza viruses giving rise to more transmissible or more pathogenic viruses. The 1918 Spanish flu pandemic virus was relatively mild in its first wave and acquired more virulence when it returned in the winter. Thus preparedness on a global scale against a potential more virulent strain is highly recommended. Most isolates of the new S-OIVs are susceptible to neuraminidase inhibitors, and currently a vaccine against the pandemic strain is being manufactured and will be available this fall. This review summarizes the current information on the new pandemic swine-origin influenza virus A/H1N1.

I want to create a vector, but I only know the size I want the vector to be at runtime. This is how I'm doing it now (i.e. creating an empty, mutable vector, and adding vectors to it) :
fn add_pairs(pairs: ~[int]) -> ~[int] {
let mut result : ~[int] = ~[];
let mut i = 0;
while i < pairs.len() {
result += ~[pairs[i] + pairs[i + 1]];
i += 2;
return result;
This is how I want to do it (i.e., creating a vector and putting everything in it, instead of adding lots of vectors together):
fn add_pairs(pairs: ~[int]) -> ~[int] {
let number_of_pairs = pairs.len() / 2;
let result : ~[int, ..number_of_pairs];
let mut i = 0;
while i < pairs.len() {
result[i] = pairs[2 * i] + pairs[2 * i + 1];
i += 1;
return result;
Unfortunately, doing the above gives me something like:
error: expected constant expr for vector length: Non-constant path in constant expr
let result: ~[int, ..number_of_pairs];
I get the impression that vectors have to have their size known at compile time (and so you need to set their size to a constant). Coming from a Java background, I'm confused! Is there a way to create a vector whose size you only know at runtime?
I'm using Rust 0.6.

Icky Ricky is a book series by Michael Rex about the grossest kid on the face of the planet. When Random House approached me about this, I wasn't sure I would have time to squeeze it in. But then I saw the illustrations and knew I had to find a way to do this. The notes from the producer were hilarious, suitable for framing - stuff like "more farts" and "adjust booger texture."

After a year of discussions and a few false starts, the new bimedia.biz is based on a single edict: maintain the clean design and zesty animations of the existing site built in 2004 but build the thing entirely without Flash to maintain compatibility with mobile devices.
The end result sports all sorts of fancy new features and nerdy back-end functions including purpose-built plugins and lots of custom short-codes.
With all the samples of the company's video, audio and, yes, interactive projects, it's a thing of nerdy beauty.

For this promotional trailer for Jinx, a new book series by Sage Blackwood published by HarperCollins, the client asked for something that conveyed mystery, wonder and just a hint of danger and trepidation.

'Jacob the Liar,' a Film About the Polish Ghetto
World War II film records of the attenuated terrors of Polish ghetto life are all too familiar now, but "Jacob the Liar" tempers the terrible truth in serio-comic style. Of course, laughter is not precisely what Frank Beyer, the director, and Jurek Becker, who adapted his own novel to the screen, had in mind, but they make Jacob's falsehoods the courageous and often lightly funny stuff that bound a doomed people together momentarily in hope.
As an East German production and one of the five candidates for this year's foreign-language Academy Award, "Jacob the Liar," which opened at the Plaza yesterday, is surprisingly devoid of anything resembling Communist propaganda. And, in focusing on Jewish ghetto inmates, the director and his scenarist pointedly stress the togetherness of these inmates as against the callousness of survival in, say, the concentration camp of Lina Wertmuller's "Seven Beauties."
Their Jacob Heym, once a cafe owner, is now simply one of the town's downtrodden, unkempt laborers under Nazi occupation forces who, by chance, overhears a radio communiqué in local Gestapo headquarters about Russian victories in the vicinity. And our woebegone hero then passes the happy news to other Jews, stating with underplayed pride that he heard it on his own clandestine radio. Naturally, his neighbors, clinging to this newly found promise of deliverance, demand more news daily and our increasingly reluctant Jacob is forced to invent it.
As a series of vignettes, "Jacob the Liar" illustrates recollections of a happier past and the glimmer of cheer as well as the fear of reprisals felt by the ghetto's inmates. Henry Hubchan and Blanche Kommerell, a pretty brunette, grasp desperately for moments of love in a crowded, decrepit room. Dezso Garas and Suzana Gordon, as Miss Kommerell's actor-parents, cower in anticipation of a concentration camp destiny, and, Envin Geschonneck, gives a sensitive performance as a former barber and close friend of Jacob, who resorts to the grimmest solution when hope is lost.
Vlastimil Brodsky, a noted Czech actor, is forceful, funny and poignant as the ever helpful, if married, Jacob, whose sad, sagging face mirrors the tragedy of the ghetto's plight. He is nobly abetted by Manuela Simon, an endearing natural, pretty little moppet, playing his inquisitive niece, whom he entertains in one charming scene by imitating Winston Churchill's sonorous voice as it seemingly emerges from his alleged radio.
Although English subtitles make the action clear, a viewer may be disturbed by some abrupt transitions and by Poles speaking German. But if there is little doubt as to the drama's inevitable, tragic denouement, "Jacob the Liar" is, in effect, a heartwarming saga and one that illustrates Mark Twain's observation that "courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, and not the absence of fear."
JACOB THE LIAR, screenplay by Jurek Becker based on his novel of the same title; directed by Frank Beyer; a DEFA Film-Fernsehen co-production, East Germany; photography by Gunter Marczinkowsky; edited by Rita Hiller; presented by Macmillan Films Inc. At the Plaza Theater, 58th Street east of Madison Avenue. Running time: 95 minutes. This film has not been rated.

Colorectal Cancer Health Center
Laparascopic Total Abdominal Colectomy
In this article
The Three Steps of Laparascopic Total Abdominal Colectomy continued...
Step 3: Rejoining the Ileum and Rectum
Next, your surgeon will rejoin the rectum and ileum. This rejoining is called an "anastomosis." A circular stapler with an anvil-shaped head and center post and rod will be used to make the anastomosis. First, the anvil-shaped end of the stapler (the end with the post) is passed into the ileum and stitched into place. The post will extend beyond the cut end of the ileum. To complete the anastomosis, the rod of the circular stapler is passed into the rectum, connected with the center post, then closed and "fired" to join the ileum with the rectum. This is called an ileorectal anastomosis (IRA). As an alternative to the IRA, some patients may require the creation of a reservoir from the small intestine. This reservoir is called an ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA).
The surgeon will then rinse the abdominal cavity and check the anastomosis for leaks. Finally, all of the incisions in the abdomen will be stitched or taped closed.
Recovery From Laparascopic Total Abdominal Colectomy
After surgery, you will be encouraged to increase your activity level steadily once you are home. Walking is great exercise! Walking will help your general recovery by strengthening your muscles, keeping your blood circulating to prevent blood clots, and helping your lungs remain clear. If you are fit and did regular exercise before surgery, you may resume exercising when you feel comfortable and your doctor gives the approval. However, strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and abdominal exercises such as sit-ups should be avoided for six weeks after surgery.
You will be sent home on a soft diet, which means you can eat almost everything except raw fruits and vegetables. You should continue this diet until your post-surgical check-up. If the diet is making you constipated, please call your doctor's office for advice.

Photo: Illinois State Sports Groovy Throwbacks
February 16th, 2014| by Lost Lettermen
Illinois State's 70-54 victory over Bradley on Saturday was a performance that did former Redbirds star Doug Collins proud. As were ISU's positively groovy throwback uniforms.
The Redbirds' retro threads consisted of some blast-from-the-past, candy-striped shorts and jerseys consisting of "State" running inside a red "I" and the players' numbers off to the right – just like what Collins occasionally wore when he was at ISU in the early 1970s.
Illinois State ought to consider sporting these more often. Saturday's double-digit win came a little more than a year after the Redbirds sported the throwbacks for the first time and crushed Southern Illinois, 83-47.

I'm a new user in linux. The problem is that when i tried to run the VI (or vim) text editor, i realised that it worked really different as i remembered it used to. Example, when i try to put in mode of "insert", in the downside doesn't appear "INSERT", or when i try to delete with the backspace key, it doesn't delete... it moves the cursor back, and does nothing.
So i thought that removing it and re-installing it again would work, and removed it by:
apt-get --purge remove vim-common
But now when i try:
apt-cache search vim
it throws nothing, and now i don't know how to install it again. Any help? thanks people

NEW YORK (June 4, 2013)—Seattle-based Starbucks says it will start posting calorie counts on menu boards nationwide next week, ahead of a federal regulation that would require the information.
Calorie counts on menus are already required in some parts of the country, including New York City, but starting June 25, Starbucks says customers at its more than 11,000 U.S. locations will be able to see that there are 300 calories in a small caramel Frappuccino and 230 calories in a small Iced Caffe Mocha.
Pastry cases will also show calorie information, in case customers want to opt for a Morning Bun at 350 calories instead of a blueberry scone at 460 calories.

There's a reason for this: Quite simply, I miss last year's team.
When the Celtics won their last title in 1986, that same group battled a staggering number of injuries the following season and somehow came within two games of repeating. To this day, they remain my favorite Boston team. When the Patriots won in 2002, they fought to a deceiving 9-7 record the following season -- in a weird way, they overachieved because all seven losses were legitimate, and they could have blown another four or five -- eventually leading to a 34-4 stretch and two more titles. In each case, the team preserved its core (Bird, McHale, Parish, DJ and Ainge for the Celtics, Brady, Brown, Seymour, Vinatieri, Bruschi, Law and McGinest for the Patriots) while defending its title. And that's why I felt attached to both of those teams, incredibly so. Each team would have done anything to protect its territory and we knew it. That's the difference between a good champion and a great one.
The Red Sox went a different route. Honestly, I would have been fine with bringing back last year's nucleus, even if that meant four more years of the Derek Lowe Face and "Who's Your Daddy?" chants. I also would have been fine with moving forward, as long as last winter's moves made sense. For instance, we gave up a Human Standing Ovation (Roberts, who wanted to play every day -- like they couldn't have found him 350-400 ABs?) for three stiffs (including a career head case who admittedly staged a dugout argument to get traded two weeks ago). We also paid $40 million for a "29-year-old" All-Star shortstop who appears to be between 34 and 37 years old (no lie). Two other free agent targets (Pavano and Beltre) turned out to be Grade-A busts on other teams, continuing the bizarre ritual of GM Theo Epstein's getting bailed out of dubious offseason moves (Contreras, Vazquez and the A-Rod/Manny/Nomar/Ordonez quagmire) because other teams squashed his plans.
Here's the point: The Red Sox tried to have it both ways. And you can't create a "Let's not dwell on past achievements, we need to build the best team possible and keep moving forward" mind-set, then give ninth, tenth, fifteenth and twentieth chances to Bellhorn, Foulke, Embree and third base coach Dale Sveum (who would have spawned a potential riot at Kenmore Square in any other season). Were we moving on from last year or clinging to last year? If we're clinging to last year, why not keep Cabrera and Roberts (two of the most beloved players from that team), and why wait until the last second to sign Pedro (only the most significant pitcher in the history of the franchise)? And if we're moving forward, how could Embree keep getting chances in close games, how could a clearly-injured Foulke keep getting thrown out to the wolves, how could Sveum keep his job when he's clearly incompetent, and how could somebody slumping as painfully as Bellhorn possibly keep playing every day?
(An actual e-mail from Vermont reader Devin Q. two weeks ago: "What about a reality-TV show titled 'I struck out Mark Bellhorn'? You gather random, unsuspecting people from the street to see if they can strike out Bellhorn from a major league mound. As a bonus, anyone who strikes him out gets $10,000 and can then attempt to better him in the field as well for added humiliation. The pilot episode would feature a 90-year-old grandmother with two artificial hips whiffing Bellhorn with 40 mph heaters, followed by Jerry Remy showing up Bellhorn in the field.")

Ever wanted to see the dogs on the cover of 'Parklife' sing along to 'Girls & Boys'? How about Metronomy driving along their English Riviera? Prince shaking his hips to a flesh lick of slap-bass? Welcome to the world of Radio Soulwax.
20 years into their career, Belgian electro-upstarts Soulwax are still finding new and exciting ways to play with music. It's hard to find many acts who are still together after that long, let alone innovating. Madonna might know the street name of a drug, but she's far from cutting edge.
Last Monday 2manyDJs, the DJing alter-ego of Soulwax's two frontmen David and Stephen Dewaele, released the video for the third and final instalment of mix series 'Under The Covers'. Not only is it musically innovative - who else would mix Metallica with Gabriel by Joe Goddard? - but visually too.
The Dewaele brothers use DVDs instead of CDs, mixing both audio and video. Record sleeves of everyone from the Specials and Talking Heads to Lil Wayne and techno producer Paul Chambers are made to dance along to the beats. Soulwax aren't just innovating with their mixes. They're also experimenting with how to get them to people.
Not content to simply post a video on YouTube- so 2010 - Soulwax last year set up their own online radio station, Radio Soulwax. Broadcasting 24 hours-a-day with a rotating schedule of Soulwax's many hour long mixes, listeners can tune in online or on the Radio Soulwax app.
Soulwax aren't the only one's experimenting with new ways to distribute music. The XX, Florence + the Machine and Lady Gaga have all released albums on 'Playbuttons', a badge with a headphone slot that plays albums front to back, New York minimalist Nicolas Jaar recently announced plans to release a 'cube' of music, and Metallica revealed that they're considering giving away their next album in cereal boxes.
Still, it's refreshing to see artists still really experimenting with, and enjoying, music after two decades. Soulwax said they'd create 24 hour long mixes to fill the Radio Soulwax schedule- another nice touch- and so far we're on 22. Who knows what they'll do for the last one? Happy birthday Soulwax, I can't wait for the party.

Born in Singapore in 1964, Chan Joon Yee was a very prolific writer in the 1990s. He has written 2 novels and translated one Chinese travelogue. His shorter pieces which included poems, short stories, book reviews, celebrity interviews, advice columns and advertorials, were featured in newspapers, magazines and some trade publications. He has also done ghostwriting for business people who needed to make light-hearted speeches or engaging presentations.
After accumulating a further 20 years of life experiences since his last novel was published in 1993, Chan made a comeback in 2013 with a collection of short stories entitled Spellbound in Chiangmai. This is followed by a humour book entitled Dental Phobia and another non-fiction book Leaving The Pain Behind which explores some of the painful stories behind people who tattoo themselves.
Chan Joon Yee first visited Thailand as an army boy in 1984. The Land of Smiles fascinated him for many years, but like many foreigners who have tried to settle here, his feelings have matured from infatuation to healthy cynicism. Spellbound In Chiangmai is a work of fiction inspired by his many puzzling encounters in the Land of Smiles.
His upcoming books will mostly be on Kindle. Older blog entries are archived and published on Kindle under the Red Dot Rants series.
Dewdrop Notes is a bridge between author and reader.Through this blog, the author hopes to share his views on the arts, our education and various social issues. There will also be song-sharing and write-ups on misunderstood mavericks in our conformist society.

Released: Apr 01st, 2006
Running Time: 112
Director: Tommy Gunn
Company: Assasin Pictures
Distribution Companies: Vicious Media
Cast: Shy Love, Jenaveve Jolie, Rita Faltoyano, Gigi (I), Tommy Gunn, Sativa Rose, Alexis Amore
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
AVN award winner Tommy Gunn directs and stars in this fun collection of fuck scenes. In each, he plays various blue-collar hero types: a mechanic fixing Shy Love's truck, a building inspector bribed with a blowjob from Alexis Amore and a workman installing a stripper pole in Sativa Rose's basement. The ladies are only too happy to show their gratitiude by riding Gunn's always-charged power tool, and in the case of Love and Rita Faltoyano, taking it in the ass.
The action is formulaic, but Gunn has the charisma and the cocksmanship to elevate any scene above average. Though his female partners are lovely, he is no slouch in the eye candy department himself, making this excellent couples viewing. The lighting and camerawork are uniformly good, with the exception of Faltoyano's scene, which appears to be shot on film with fairly static, uninspiring angles.
Retailing: Couples will enjoy watching Gunn shoot his load.

Hi, I am using WordPress to build my first website for my artwork, I have been messing around with everything and cant work out how to make my thumbnails on one of the gallery pages to cover the width of the page. This is the site http://www.bradleymacmath.com
The problem is on the Mixed media page, it looks like I still have a sidebar as it cuts off a portion of the last thumbnails, just with nothing in but I thought I chopped out the bits of code that showed the sidebar. I'm quite new to this so any help would be appreciated. What code should I be looking for to get rid os the sidebar? And is there a way to make thumbnails bigger, as these are the maximum sizes I can show even when I increase the thumbnail size in the gallery settings... Any help would be good Ive been trying to sort this for a couple of days now.

Skip to comments.LIVE THREAD: WH Press Briefing May 14, 2013
Posted on 05/14/2013 8:05:55 AM PDT by don-o
click here to read article
We have checked our history Carney. article 2 of Nixon impeachment was for using the IRS to attack his political enemies.
Well we knew ahead there would be denial of knowing...Ha!
arney...."The Pres. learned from the news"....what crap!
tough press my ass....Carney is walkin all over em
Did Carney say "sideshow?"
" . . . look at the President's background, at where he comes from . . . "
Did Carney actually just say that??!!
Carney I hope you live a miserable long painful life.
Benghazi is NOT A SIDESHOW YOU F@GG0T!!!!!!
I am madder than hell at this administration.
unless it's a percieved crime against a black person
Carney's dodging...and was planned for...
LOL he says "Everything is being politicalized".....
Doubling down on blaming republicans for Obama's Benghazi treason...man oh man!
That's the problem
These weiners are politicizing Benghazi, as leftists are wont to do...
Yes ....he did call Bengazi a sideshow.
But if you're white....fuggetaboutit.
Cry us a freeking river, especially when the Dems held Bush accountable for shoes being thrown at him.
He's "concerned"!
Obama has one more card to play......droning ....
Carney talking down to Jessica....Obama's War On Women.
Carney is like the ole circus barker: he's obfuscating with non-answer responses.
We'll see how the press feels about being spied on. They have been sucking his toes for 4 years. If the press turns, he's hosed. Tone in crowd sounds a little more hostile than normal. 10 Pinocchios on this presser.
Who is Jessica - giving a good effort and it. Says that IRS has already admitted. Jay keeps going back to if if if.
Carney...."....rushing to conclusions is inappropriate for a Pres. to do"
Jessica is not rolling over....wow
So it wasn't in reference to this presser? ;-)
what paper is jessica from?
listen to what you don't hear....HILLARY'S name
the Dixie mafia still has juice...
Benghazi Bob. My stomach cant take him or the Fuhrer.
Baghdad Bob had more credibility than these bastards.
Jessica is rottweiler. Damn, her tax records better be in order!
Carney's using this as a speaking opportunity to tell how wonderful Obama is.
Never heard so many "no comment" and "can't comment".
Jessica Yellin - CNN
Forty years. Interesting, isn't it? We have a coverup with "missing" information and IRS abuse and an attack on the press, all in an attempt to sway a close election to the incumbent. Barack Milhouse 0bama apparently isn't a student of history.
this activity...uh...Potential activity.
No Potential
It was DONE!!
GOD What a DOUCHE This Panty waste is!
Sounds crazy ... but it sure seems to frighten Boner enough to not want to expand the investigations ...
I wish one of the reporters would ask if, when Carney is free to comment, he will tell us that everything happened so long ago that it is old news!!
Spokesidiot suggesting the WH can't call the IRS and gather it's own facts. LOL.
...."Never heard so many no comment and cant comment....
Carney and Obama both two peas in pod in that respect.
Everything in between "no comment" is simply taking up air in the room..
Per post 181... Jessica Yellin - CNN
Love Iowahawk.
In his fifth year his lines of communication are improving.
And those BASTARD Republicans are doing NOTHING! F@!!!
Few Indonesians would be well-versed in American history.
Thanks. No television here. I do have XM radio which I use for audio from Fox mostly when it's not on old time radio shows
CATEGORICALLY DENIES that the admin or no one on his team knew anything about conservative groups being targeted. OMG
How 'bout that! Doesn't need to wait for the IG report to clear the WH.
WOW the word "FACT' "not if but fact" was used by reporter
Trying to direct the press down a blind alley.
Well, we have the question that tells us what the press is going to do about all this: "Are all these scandals swirling about preventing the President from achieving his agenda?"

I had hoped to be able to refine the output filtering by combining a category and tag slug ie cat=A tag=A1 would only show posts in cat A tagged with A1. What I'm finding is though that the tag slug doesn't work at all. Using cat A and tag A1 returns a whole bunch of posts not in cat A or tagged with A1.
I tried adding "AND" but that didn't work either.
UPDATE:Never mind - WP was adding

Lady Colonels miss out on key rebound
Published: Monday, January 29, 2007 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, January 28, 2007 at 9:46 p.m.
THIBODAUX Nicholls States vertically challenged womens basketball team outrebounded an opponent for the first time this season when they played Central Arkansas Saturday.
But despite holding a 36-32 edge in rebounding, it was the rebound the Lady Colonels didnt grab that sent them to a 74-72 loss in Southland Conference action. Nicholls (3-15 overall, 1-6 SLC) has now lost five straight conference games.
After Kelli Johnsons fourth 3-pointer trimmed Nicholls deficit to 71-70, Jamie Octave fouled Alex Velazquez with eight seconds remaining. Octave, who earlier in the game became the eighth Lady Colonel to reach 1,000 points, fouled out on the play with 19 points.
Velazquez hit the first free throw, before missing the second. The ball bounced around, before Sharece Love corralled it for Central Arkansas (9-11, 3-5). Love sank two free throws the second of which came after a lane violation to clinch the victory for the Sugar Bears.
While Nicholls coach Mark Cook said he was pleased his team outrebounded Central Arkansas, he expressed disappointment at the outcome of the game.
Were just not getting a defensive stop when we need to get one, Cook said.
Entering the game, Octave needed nine points to eclipse the 1,000-point barrier.
She reached the mark on a putback with 9:52 remaining in the first half, and was
honored during the under-eight minute media timeout. She scored nine of Nicholls first 11 points and finished with 12 points in the first half as the teams entered halftime tied at 33.
Foul trouble limited Octaves impact for much of the second half. With less than 16 minutes to play, she picked up three fouls in a span of 15 seconds guarding SLC leading scorer Caronica Randle.
Octave sat down at the 15:26 mark, after picking up her fourth foul, and didnt return until the 6:54 mark.
Initially, Octaves absence didnt hurt Nicholls. The Lady Colonels went on a 10-3 run to take their largest lead, 50-43, with 12 minutes remaining.
But just as it seemed like Nicholls had taken control, Central Arkansas exploded on a 3-point rampage. Allyson Sample (13 points) and Randle each hit a pair of 3s as the Sugar Bears turned a seven-point deficit into a 55-50 lead. It was a lead the visitors never relinquished.
Randle, who entered the game leading the SLC with 18 points per game, scored a season-high 28 points on 10-of-19 shooting.
Both she and Octave, who entered second in the SLC in scoring, fouled out.
But whereas Octave picked most of her fouls up in one cluster, Randle picked her fouls up gradually.
We have to have Caronica to win these ballgames, Central Arkansas coach Checola Seals-Horton said.
And she knows that. She stepped up and gave us a huge lift.
Both Nicholls and Central Arkansas shot 44 percent for the game, but the Sugar Bears outshot the Lady Colonels 50 percent to 39 percent in the second half.
In addition to Octave, center Funaki Kefu scored 16 points and grabbed a team-high seven rebounds. Katherine Plummer and Kelli Johnson each added 12 points.
Plummer led Nicholls with eight assists.
The Lady Colonels return to Stopher Gym Thursday when they host Lamar at 6:30 p.m.
At Conway, Ark., Central Arkansas rallied from a seven-point halftime deficit to defeat Nicholls State, 64-53, on Saturday night in the Farris Center.
The Colonels (3-18 overall, 2-5 in Southland Conference action) led 28-21 at the half, thanks to sophomore Ryan Bathie, who scored all 13 of his points in the opening half.
After Central Arkansas (7-14, 2-6) struggled shooting in the first half, the Bears shot 56.5 percent (13-of-23) in the second half. Nicholls shot 30.3 percent (10-of-33) from the floor and only made 1-of-15 from 3-point range in the second half.
Nicholls senior forward Stefan Blaszczynski led all scorers with 19 points.
The Colonels will be back in action on Thursday February 1 when they travel to Lamar. Tip-off is set for 7:05.
At Baton Rouge, Nicholls States Indoor Track and Field Team continued to climb their way into the school record books after a strong performance at LSUs Bayou Bengal Invitational at the Carl Maddox Fieldhouse.
Sprinter Rahjanaye Bailey set a new school record in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 9.58 in the preliminary round. She finished in 15th place, after running a 9.76 in the finals.
Alyce Peters (10.10) and Sabrina Henkes (10.25) moved into third and fourth place, respectively, after their preliminary times in the same event.
In addition to Baileys record, high jumper Chelsea Dockrey set a new school record with a height of 5-feet, 4 ¼ inches, which also earned her a second-place finish at the meet.
La-Nation McCray also moved into the top five of Nicholls record books, after a time of 2:35.11 in the 800-meter run. McCray finished the meet in 10th place.
The Colonels return to action on Friday and Saturday (February 2-3), when they participate in the Houston All-Comers in Houston, Texas.
