The mobile gaming revolution has slowly crept its way across the many, many genres in the video game world, ranging from flight simulators, to strategy games, to role-playing games, to the kind of simple, casual-play titles like Angry Birds and Candy Crush. And while the racing genre hasn't been untouched by the rise of mobile gaming, its primary entry, EA Sports' Real Racing series, has been left without an equally entertaining competitor.

Apple Maps is the beautiful but flawed pile of poo that just keeps on steaming.

Before your iPad bears your fingerprints, it picks up those of workers in Shenzhen, China. That's where storyteller Mike Daisey visited the Foxconn factory, a producer of Apple products. What he saw—overworked and underpaid workers—inspired his monologue, The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs, opening at New York's Public Theater. "I wasn't prepared for the institutionalized dehumanization," says Daisey, an admitted Apple fanatic who begs consumers to start demanding better corporate practices. "We're directly responsible for this."

There is an annual torture suffered by parents of young children in France: the list of "fournitures scolaires" which each élève must possess when school resumes in September.
French primary schools provide nothing but walls, desks and (sometimes) a teacher. All the rest of the paraphernalia – pencils, textbooks, exercise books, ink, paper, glue – is provided by the parents. Pity the child who appears on the first day without his or her 96-page exercise book. One of the few advantages of having teenage children is that this bizarre ritual ends with college (middle school). I thought that the annual misery was behind me.
The other day I went with my 14-year-old daughter, Grace, to pick up her textbooks from a small bookshop and stationers. A wealthy-looking woman was at the counter with her daughters, aged about 7 and 11.
Ordinary mortals join the scrum in the supermarkets searching for the last pink exercise book cover. Not madame. She was buying her "fournitures scolaires" in the old-fashioned way: one at a time, over the counter, with detailed commentary by her children on the merits of each item.
The elderly shop-owner sensed an unusually large "facture". Instead of grabbing her list and telling her to come back tomorrow, he trotted down to his store room looking for each "cahier de travaux pratiques, grand format, grand carreaux, 96 pages, sans-spirale, 24 x 32".
Other customers gave up hope. We, mesmerised by the heroic selfishness of the grande dame and her daughters, waited in a very English silence for almost an hour.Reuse content

**The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.** - Page 214post #3196 of 1961911/2/12 at 4:16pmCheck this epic thread: Treating Musty Moldy Leather. What works for you?post #3197 of 1961911/2/12 at 5:51pm
When I first had this problem last year I read that thread and was discouraged which led to the percarbonate experiment, which, in hindsight, was a terrible idea. Hydrogen peroxide "eats", "burns" and/or "dissolves" organic materials, why wouldn't it destroy my shoes... I should have known better.
Man of Lint did seem to cover his bases with "normally" accessible household cleaning products for an entirely different purpose, attacking a smell, which is a far more difficult task. I was wondering if he had purchased a plastic last, lasted the shoe, removed the sole, cork and shank, and then bleached if he would have been happier with the results.
I also have a habit of wondering if I can do something myself "cheaper", hence, I started mixing my own Oxyclean with bulk purchased chemicals which eventually led me to doing my laundry differently.
I am still eying that sample bottle of 2-Phenylphenol, I feel that an aqueous solution has the best chance of saturating the leather of the shoe, but haven't looked up the MSDS to find out how to properly handle it yet. It can wait. Mid-terms begin Monday, delayed from an already delayed schedule. More time to work on my proofs.
As for the "air-tightedness", you can't fumigate an open or drafty space. You can get a large enough box that you can exhaust all the oxygen in the box and potentially put out the candle. That would not necessarily be a bad thing, but means I'd have to watch my accelerant/sulphur mixture so that the sulphur burns but the accelerant doesn't drink all the air.
Also, and worth considering, is that SO2 is a bleach. It makes Panama hats white, not yellow. I may have to re-dye the shoes if the dye reacts. Don't have a problem with that, actually, I'm a bit excited by the prospect because I've found many a vintage shoe in great condition in bland colors. I can only imagine how many SF members will either poison themselves or burn down their houses if this safely (for the shoe) bleaches leather.
The big, million dollar question is, "is S02 Heavier or lighter than air?" because that will determine the placement of the shoes relative to the candle. I had been thinking of suspending the shoes above the candle using paracord in a slightly larger than mini-fridge sized box. But if it is heavier, I should change the orientation.post #3198 of 1961911/2/12 at 5:56pmpost #3199 of 1961911/2/12 at 6:19pm
Just a though, perhaps incorrect, on the use of bleach: I do recall reading a while ago that bleach does not work on porous surfaces, it will attach to the "surface" of the material and not penetrate with the fluid INTO the leather.
While that doesn't really matter with clothes, it may matter when it comes to leather, wood and other porous surfaces.
So, the goal is threefold
1) to find a chemical which combats mold
2) which has the ability saturate leather and other porous surfaces
3) not damage the leather or (ideally) the finish
There is potentially a fourth: to not be dangerous enough to kill a foolish person who hasn't had HAZMAT training or a background in the physical sciences, but this depends on your opinion of Darwinism...
Well, I should have the sulphur by the middle of next week. It was trash-day today so I can't go pick'n for a box. Results potentially next Saturday.
I would love to hear feedback from any others on mold-fighting agents which might qualify - I hit the thrift shops regularly to flip for health-insurance - finding cheap, trashed donor shoes and boots to experiment with is hardly difficult. Any day I need to don my respirator and snap the nitrile gloves is a good day.post #3200 of 1961911/2/12 at 6:34pmpost #3201 of 1961911/2/12 at 7:11pm

keep it simple...
I'll give you the solution: get the cardboard box ready but cut the lid out; lit the sulphur in the tin can (a little lighter fluid sprinkled on it will help...), get the shoes ready.
When the sulphur in the can is burning at full speed, throw the box over it; the box won't catch fire but will starve the burning sulphur of oxygen. Quickly lift the box and throw the shoes in; release the box.
Seriously, there will be enough SO2 to kill mold in 10 pairs of shoes.
Never tried the method on shoes, but cleaned old oak barrels of mold this way and I see no reason why it won't work on shoes.post #3202 of 1961911/2/12 at 7:43pmQuote:
I would use vinegar. Use a spray bottle to soak the inside of the shoe. let sit for a day, then air out the shoes a best as possible for a day, then rub leather conditioner around the inside of the shoe.post #3203 of 1961911/2/12 at 10:27pm

Go read that other thread for why this didn't work
I still think the UV is a cheaper and much much much less dangerous experiment to try both for the shoes and for you (and for your home which definitely won't be burned down by a blacklight)post #3205 of 1961911/3/12 at 12:47amQuote:
Thanks for referring me back to the link NODB supplied. Very good read on the subject.
I have used vinegar on an old leather dog leash to remove mold, and it seemed to work fine. However, DWFII knows leather very well, and if he says it doesn't work, then I believe him. It may have been that simply cleaning the mold off in general removed enough spores to solve the problem, or I didn't keep the leash long enough to notice the mold return. In either case I will write off vinegar as a solution.
Has anyone tried the freezer approach?post #3206 of 1961911/3/12 at 2:05am

It wouldn't work as the spores would simply remain dormant until the temperature increases & then mold will return.
Chemical solutions are the most effective route, I've always used a weak solution of chlorine bleach.post #3207 of 1961911/3/12 at 3:43am

A while back, I was playing around with leather stuffings for some oak-tanned horsehide. Was an interesting and expensive series of experiments but one of my choosen additives was tea tree oil. Undiluted or diluted the stuff is not exactly safe for men who don't like growing breasts (this may be a desirable effect in a portion of the population) and is also a very powerwful anti-fungal which is why I included it. I've considered wiping the insole with it as a preventative measure but don't feel it will saturate the leather well enough to be effective against the full-blown problem I have.
I'm hoping after a week it will "lightly condition" the leather and not be absorbed by my feet. This seems like a second experiment.post #3209 of 1961911/3/12 at 6:35am

An Introduction...
Before I started posted I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Pat, and I got sucked into horses some time ago, but didn't get my first until last year. He was a slaughter bound save out of New Holland auction. He is my baby, and I posted his story on his page:
Since I've got Ransom we've added two others to the mix (working on pages), Vixen and Sarge. Vixen was bought as a co-op with my best friend. She was looking for a trail horse and at the time I was looking for a horse my boyfriend could ride once and awhile so we co-owned her. Sarge is the newest addition. He was bought for my boyfriend and they are BEST buddies. Ransom is a gaited horse, though we don't know what breed. Likely a rocky mountain cross but he looks like a smaller Clydesdale (heavier boned and can have small bits of feathering) but who knows. I ride gaited due to back issues though Vixen and Sarge are trotting horses.
I ride western mostly (if not bareback) and trail ride for the most part. I'm huge into saving wild horses and ending slaughter transports. Ransom and Vixen are rescues from such situations.
My other life is I own and operate a boarding kennel in western PA and also show and breed Australian Shepherds (horses and aussies mix well). I'm owned by my 4 legged furbabies.
Anyway, just wanted to say howdy.
Hi! Welcome!!!
Posted via Mobile Device
Welcome to the forum. Thank you for saving your horses. That is so wonderful!

Coach Dick Bennett and Dr. Leonard Sweet will be the featured speakers at Mission Possible 2010, an annual leadership event at Hales Corners Lutheran Church on Saturday, February 20 from 8 am – 1 pm at 12300 W. Janesville Road in Hales Corners. The event is open to the community.
All denominations are invited to Mission Possible which is designed for everyday leaders – parents, managers, supervisors, teachers, and business owners to sharpen their leadership skills. This is the third year for the conference which draws hundreds of people who understand that leadership is needed more than ever in today's world.
Coach Dick Bennett, one of Wisconsin's legacy coaches after coaching basketball for over thirty years in the state with enormous success, kicks off the event. He is best known for coaching the UW Badgers from 1995-2000 culminating in a Final Four appearance in 2000.
Dr. Leonard Sweet is a popular speaker and author with numerous books, including, among others, Summoned to Lead and The Gospel According to Starbucks. Known for his effective yet non-traditional approach to leadership, Dr. Sweet was voted by his peers "One of the 50 Most Influential Christians in America" by Church Report Magazine in 2006 and 2007.
Coach Bennett and Doctor Sweet follow previous conference speakers such as Reggie McNeal and Joyce Garbaciak. Pastor Russ Peterson of Hals Corners Lutheran Church said, "We are very excited that we have again been able to secure such strong speakers for this conference. Coach Bennett does not make many public appearances since retiring and we are very appreciative that he has made an exception for Mission Possible."
Tickets are $20 if purchased before February 5th ($25 after). Group tickets are $15 (for 5 or more). Students are $10 and scholarships are available upon request.

An item I read years ago in Readers Digest concerned the pin-dot community of Costilla, on the New Mexico-Colorado border. Apparently, in the olden days, maps weren't as precise as they are today, as we lacked satellites. There was a perennial discussion as to which state Costilla belonged to: New Mexico or Colorado?
Seems you can't even talk about the weather without stirring up some politics these days.

About one in three business owners say they use their own funds or personal credit for their business, according to a recent Wells Fargo/Gallup Small Business Index survey. Yet as a business seeks to grow, obtaining business credit is essential and can help finance purchases, build a credit history, supplement cash flow and preserve savings.
Compiled by The Associated Press
The Portland (Maine) Press Herald on "social pressuring," (Nov. 18):
Americans treasure free speech and the ability to share their opinions, but we understand that our vote is private. When we step up to fill in our ballot, sometimes behind a red, white and blue curtain, we do so knowing that our choice is ours alone, and who we voted for is nobody's business unless we want to tell them.
"One dollar and 87 cents." Those are the opening lines to O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi," the Christmas classic about a couple struggling and each wanting to buy a gift for the other. That was in 1906, when a dollar bought something.
Most people know the story: Jim sells his watch to a jeweler so he can buy Della a set of beautiful brushes. Meanwhile, she's undergoing the same struggle and agrees to sell her hair to buy Jim a gold watch fob.
Let's face it: Thanksgiving traditions are based on an incomplete memory. Maybe the Puritans sat down and ate with Native Americans a time or two, but they actually brought more death and destruction to the tribes they encountered than they did turkey and dressing.
But it's the sentiment, not its historic significance, that makes Thanksgiving special. I think most Americans are both believers and optimists, so taking time to give thanks is simply part of our better nature.
"Please! Don't recite any recipes. I beg of you." And with that surprisingly authoritarian tone, I explained that all I had done was compliment the chef over the meal my wife and I had been invited to.
Any comment about the food during the meal often leads to a detailed recipetation of each step, as if we were taking notes.
Now that all the noise of the election is over, can we turn our attention back to governing?
We'll soon see how Susana Martinez intends to run things in her second term. She certainly has a different dynamic going for her legislatively, now that the House is under the control of her very own Republican Party. But since the Democrats still have the Senate, getting actual legislation passed and onto the governor's desk for signing will continue to be a formidable challenge.
You've already heard of the "Better Used Cars" sold by a company my dad used to work for. Werley Auto Company, which sold Ford, Mercury and Lincoln products, also had a used car line.
On Halloween, a nightmare for the commercial space industry occurred. SpaceShipTwo, a craft designed to take people to the edge of space, apparently broke apart, killing one of its pilots and injuring the other.

I recently purchased a Aquarius AQ11204 BettaView Brite Corner Tank and a cheerfully blue betta fish. The tank is a simple corner shaped tank that fits perfectly on my desk and adds a bit of life to the mountain of technology that every other inch of my office occupies. This particular tank also incorporates a multi-mode RGB LED that can cycle through different modes by pressing the button at the top. Overall, even without modifications, it's a great tank!
But.. the lighting is a bit lacking. The light can only be toggled to stay on for a few hours after a complicated sequence of long and short button presses. The lighting modes are quite boring with only a few solid colors and an awkward attempt at PWM control of the LEDs for the fading. Now this got me thinking how I could improve this. Ive had a bag full of ESP8266 boards for a while now, almost 6 months, that I havent done anything with.
For those who do not know anything about the ESP8266; its specs are as follows:
- Cost is less than $2 shipped!
- Wi-Fi chip with full TCP/IP stack
- 80 MHz Microcontroller
- 64 KiB of instruction RAM
- 96 KiB RAM
- External 512 KiB flash.
In short, a powerful enough WiFi enabled microcontroller to control both the IO devices and host a basic HTTP server on the cheap!
So let's get started! The goal for this project were as followed.
- Weekend project. Shouldn't take more than two days from start to finish.
- Monitor and record water temperature every 30 seconds.
- Text message alert if the water temperature reaches a concerning level.
- Mobile friendly web interface for changing the color and effect mode. (Constant color, fading, etc)

Public Forum Sponsored by TAME & CSG: Modern Transit for Upcounty Montgomery
Wednesday, April 15, 2015
MoCo's Future Includes Transit Alternatives To Replace Mid-County Highway Extended
Montgomery backtracks on a sprawl-inducing highway
by David Alpert • April 15, 2015
After a decade-long process, it looked like Montgomery County was pushing ahead with a new highway through streams and wetlands at the edge of the county's built-up areas. But last week, county officials announced they don't support the road project after all.
In March, the county Department of Transportationissued a report recommending a new limited-access highway, around the edge of developed areas. The road, designated M-83, would approximately parallel I-270 and MD-355 but farther east, connecting the east side of Clarksburg to the current Midcounty Highway, Route 124.
This dismayed advocates who had been asking the county instead to study ways to better connect to Clarksburg with transit and fixes to local roads. Last week, DOT Acting Director Al Roshdieh put out a statement essentially repudiating the DOT's earlier recommendation:
The County Executive does not support building this road, he did not recommend the preferred alternative, nor was it an option that I as MCDOT acting director recommended. Further, there is no funding proposed for the project in the County's capital budget.The council pushes M-83 out of limbo
The study, "Draft Preferred Alternative/Conceptual Mitigation Report" (PA/CM) was conducted before the Route 355 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system was in the master plan, and therefore it was not considered as one of the alternatives. If BRT is considered, I believe the results of the PA/CM study and its recommended alternative could be significantly different. I strongly endorse this reassessment.During my three months as MCDOT Acting Director, I continue to look for ways to promote a broader view of mobility in Montgomery County that is not necessarily wedded to building more roads. Taking a fresh look at various M-83 options, including the Route 355 BRT, is an important step in my vision for this department.
In 1964, before the Clean Water Act had passed, Montgomery planners drew a future highway on maps to the east of MD 355. The road ran through wetlands and stream valleys to complete a "ladder and rung" network of arterial roads that would facilitate development in upcounty Montgomery. Since then, Midcounty Highway, also known as M-83, has been the subject of battles for over 50 years.
In its most recent chapter, the Montgomery County Council asked the county DOT in 2004 to study whether the highway, with its impacts to wetlands and streams, would be legal under modern environmental laws. Last year, DOT officials said they would complete the study in March of 2014, but were then silent about their progress for the rest of the year.
On March 2nd, the council's Transportation and Environment Committee surprised MCDOT leadership by asking about the study. Members suggested that, if it was complete, it should go to federal regulators for a decision one way or the other. It appears that Council transportation staffer Glenn Orlin learned that the study had been finished for some time, and suggested that the committee ask for some resolution on the issue.
"If we're not going to build it, we should take it out of the master plan", he said in the committee session. "My understanding is that the report was done last summer and has not been sent to the feds. However you feel about the project, it's delaying a resolution."
Chair Roger Berliner said, "It's no secret I'm not a big fan of this project. I'm even less a fan of ambiguity and being in limbo." The committee members, while harboring different opinions about the project, all agreed that MCDOT should make the study public and send it to regulators. Berliner and fellow committee member Tom Hucker, along with a majority of council members, now publicly oppose to the project, while Nancy Floreen, the third member of the committee, supports it.
The county suggests a destructive option, then backs away
After getting the prod from the council, the DOT issued its report and recommended Alternative 9A, the original alignment from the 1960s master plan. At $350 million, it is the most expensive of the six alternatives analyzed, a price tag that doesn't include environmental mitigation to compensate for the wetlands, floodplains, and forests it would damage.
In contrast to his agency's position, County Executive Leggett has said he is against the road: shortly after the release of the study, a spokesperson for the County Executive told the Washington Post that Leggett "opposes the road project because of its cost."
Throughout the study, it has been clear that the those in charge were building up arguments towards 9A. But more recently, top leaders who were most focused on building roads have left. Their replacements are already backing away from the controversial project.
WTOP reporter Ari Ashe tweeted recently that MCDOT Acting Director Al Roshdieh told him he was against M-83, and that it was "over." After I mentioned the M-83 report in a list of cautionary notes about whether the DOT was really reforming, DOT spokesperson Esther Bowring called to say that Roshdieh considers the 9A option "dead."
"If we don't do this, we need to do something else"
During the March 2nd committee meeting, Councilmember Floreen said, "If we don't do this, we need to do something else." Many residents in Clarksburg rightly feel that the county made and broke many promises, including to build retail and provide good transportation. Development in Clarksburg was initially supposed to coincide with transit service, but the transit has not materialized.
However, this road is not the answer. It will only make new sprawl development, including up in Frederick and Carroll Counties, even more desirable, leading people to live there and work in Rockville, Bethesda, or DC, be dependent on cars, and clog the roads further for commuting and shopping.
The better solution for all upcounty residents is to build the transit that was promised in the first place. Berliner and many advocates have recommended building the study's Alternative 2, a package of small widenings to congested intersections as well as new sidewalks and bike paths, and Alternative 5, which would widen MD-355—
but using the new lanes as dedicated lanes for BRT rather than new car capacity.
Bowring said that county officials are meeting next week to discuss next steps to reexamine the county's recommendations and start moving toward, or at least seriously studying, the transit options that many residents are pushing for.
To fully put the idea of a new highway to rest, the county would have to remove it from the master plan. The decision to do that would be up to the county council, Berliner said, and the council could ask the planning department to be involved if it wished.
Unless something changes, the Army Corps of Engineers will go ahead and evaluate Alternative 9A. Some may be hoping the corps just tells Montgomery County it can't build the road; that would forestall a local political battle between those who still want a new highway and the majority of the county council that doesn't.
Either way, this 50-year battle is far from over.

Mobile elements make up nearly half of the human genome. They are a significant cause of genetic disease as a result of both de novo insertion as well as mediation of nonhomologous recombination and deletion. We propose to build on our previous research to further understand the effects of mobile elements on the generation of genetic diversity in human and non-human primate genomes. We have developed a new technique, based on second-generation high-throughput sequencing, to simultaneously ascertain and genotype all members of mobile-element subfamilies in large samples of individuals. We will apply this technology to 42 large Utah pedigrees to directly estimate, for the first time, the rate of Alu retrotransposition in the human genome. We will also use these pedigrees to explore the relationship between mobile elements and the generation of de novo copy number variants. We will genotype thousands of Alu insertion polymorphisms in a diverse sample of 500 humans. Because our new technique identifies all members of each subfamily, rare insertions will be identified so that an unbiased frequency spectrum of insertion polymorphisms can be analyzed. These data will allow us to search for active Alu elements in the human genome, and they will allow us to test several key hypotheses about ancient human evolutionary history. We will take advantage of the availability of several non-human primate genome sequences to test the effects of mobile elements on insertions and deletions of genomic material during the evolution of these species. We will also examine the roles of mobile elements in mediating transduction events in humans and non-human primates, as this is an important source of new genetic material in genomes.
Mobile elements account for about half of our genome, and they have been shown to cause human disease by disrupting or deleting genes. We will study a large number of mobile elements to understand how they influence other elements of the genome, and we will use mobile elements to test hypotheses about the history and evolution of human populations and non-human primate species.

DENVER -- Kobe Bryant shot just 6-for-28 in the Los Angeles Lakers' 99-90 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday while Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol combined to shoot 15-for-27, but the Lakers big men did not blame Bryant for the disparate amount of touches.
Bryant went 3-for-10 in the fourth quarter, scoring six points. Gasol scored six points in the fourth on 3-for-5 shooting.
Still, Gasol was comfortable with Bryant's shot selection.
"I hope that every shot that he takes, he makes," Gasol said. "If I want a guy to take a shot down the stretch, it would be him."
Bryant was 6-for-18 on Saturday against Denver, putting his two-game weekend total to 12-for-46 (26.1 percent).
"Maybe he hasn't shot his best or his average the last couple games," Gasol said. "He's an aggressive player, and I'm sure he'll shoot better next game. Nothing to make a big deal out of."
Bryant left the arena after the game without speaking to reporters.
"He's got to continue to find his stroke, but just like I told him and the rest of the team, I told the entire team that we shot too many jump shots and there has to come a point and time where either we got to drive the ball or we got to get the ball inside, one of the two and we didn't do a good job with neither today," Brown said.
Compounding the problems that Bryant's misses on long jump shots caused was the fact that Denver's Danilo Gallinari, who was guarding Bryant, would sprint to the other end of the court after contesting Bryant's shot on the perimeter and found himself on the receiving end of outlet passes resulting in wide-open layups.
Brown, who said he "coached a bad game," wished Bynum and Gasol were utilized in the post more often.
"We didn't do a great job of getting them the ball, especially down the stretch," Brown said. "We just got to do a better job of recognizing what's working for us and they were working for us tonight."

Three decent puzzle games with plenty of modes, options and even an online and offline multiplayer.
PSM3 Magazine UKWhile Go! Puzzle works well in places, it ultimately feels like the cheap download it is. [May 2007, p.77]
Go! Puzzle has a large array of modes given its price, but none of the games included in it truly stand out.
While Go! Puzzle succeeds in so many ways (particularly in its multiplayer battle modes) the bottom line is that none of the core games are anywhere near to matching the fun of, say Tetris or even a 'lower tier' classic like "Lumines."

George Thanks for your suggestion. IMO, the current information in Inst of TauLdInd is not enough for read barriers generation. That's the reason why I tend to implement a new opcode TauLdRef. For example, there is no ref holding object reference (like 'base' in TauStRef) in TauLdInd, but it is necessary for read barrier. Additionally, IMO, not all the 'TauLd' need to be intercepted, my TauLdRef only represents the ref loading that requires barrier. Do you think it is reasonable?

Somewhere in the night
I heard you call my name
I feel tender and warm
I come to you my love
With wings spread wide
You can hear me
If you will be still
You will see a shadow
Standing by
Smile my darling
As I whisper your name
Your is in the clouds
As I reach to Heaven for you
Feel the stardust on your cheek
As I kiss your sweet lips
We can see the sun
As we awake
Watch the moon
As we lay to sleep

Interannual variation patterns of total ozone and lower stratospheric temperature in observations and model simulations
- DOI: 10.5194/acp-6-349-2006
We report results from a multiple linear regres-sion analysis of long-term total ozone observations (1979 to 2000, by TOMS/SBUV), of temperature reanalyses (1958 to 2000, NCEP), and of two chemistry-climate model sim-ulations (1960 to 1999, by ECHAM4.L39(DLR)/CHEM (=E39/C), and MAECHAM4-CHEM). The model runs are transient experiments, where observed sea surface temper-atures, increasing source gas concentrations (CO 2 , C FCs, CH 4 , N 2 O, NO x), 11-year solar cycle, volcanic aerosols and the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) are all accounted for. MAECHAM4-CHEM covers the atmosphere from the surface up to 0.01 hPa (≈80 km). For a proper represen-tation of middle atmosphere (MA) dynamics, it includes a parametrization for momentum deposition by dissipating gravity wave spectra. E39/C, on the other hand, has its top layer centered at 10 hPa (≈30 km). It is targeted on pro-cesses near the tropopause, and has more levels in this re-gion. Despite some problems, both models generally repro-duce the observed amplitudes and much of the observed low-latitude patterns of the various modes of interannual variabil-ity in total ozone and lower stratospheric temperature. In most aspects MAECHAM4-CHEM performs slightly better than E39/C. MAECHAM4-CHEM overestimates the long-term decline of total ozone, whereas E39/C underestimates the decline over Antarctica and at northern mid-latitudes. The true long-term decline in winter and spring above the

Big Goff,
If those weren't the connections you used previously, I might suggest going into the menu of the DVD player and changing the output and/or resolution. Often times, the processed picture is assigned to a different output, and changing the output to the correct one will allow the processors inside to process the color.
If that's not the cause of the problem, you might want to call up customers support and have your unit serviced.
I have connected my DVD (Pioneer XV-DV77) to new Samsung LE40B550A5W TV via an s-video (from DVD) to scart (into TV) cable. Picture and sound are OK but picture is black and white.
Is there something else I need to do/set up to get colour picture?
PS I'm a novice at this lark so simple instructions/suggestions would be appreciated.

Children with communication difficulties are being left to struggle as cuts mean they miss out on vital speech and language therapy, a survey has found.
There were reports that some children were waiting up to a year to see a speech and language therapist (SLT), up from about 18 weeks three years ago. A study by the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists found 52 per cent of SLTs reported budget cuts over the past year.
Kamini Gadhok, chief executive of the college, said that expert senior staff were being made redundant and children with speech, language and communication problems were having to wait longer for treatment or not being seen at all. "Short-sighted cuts will have a significant and avoidable impact on a whole generation of children and once these services are lost it will take years to rebuild them," she said.
Ms Gadhok warned that the Government's new development checks for two-year-olds by health visitors would fail to benefit children if there were no longer enough SLTs to support those identified as needing help.Reuse content

FAST COMPANY: What is a risk worth taking?
WHITNEY JOHNSON: When a startup says "there's a huge market and I've got the projections to prove it," it's likely that a competitor has scoped out the market and put a stake in the ground. But when they say to me "I can solve a problem that needs to be solved but I don't know how big the market it" I actually perk up, because market risk is worth taking. In either interest, startups are more likely than not to fail, but according to disruptive innovation theory, when you take on market versus competitive success, the odds of success are six times higher and the revenue opportunity twenty times greater.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota wasn't playing for a first-round playoff bye Sunday. (It got one, as it turned out. More on that in a bit.)
No, the Vikings were chasing something more ethereal than the NFC's No. 2 seed. They wanted to recapture the swagger -- "by whatever means necessary," according to coach Brad Childress -- that launched them to a 10-1 start and spurred rampant talk of a Super Bowl run. Those means, it should be lost on no one, focused centrally on the passing game and pushed tailback Adrian Peterson so far to the periphery that he didn't touch the ball until the Vikings' third possession of a 44-7 pounding of the New York Giants.
Let's acknowledge that the Giants mailed in their season several weeks ago. But no matter how you judge their competition, you have to recognize that the Vikings were at their best -- as they were all year -- when quarterback Brett Favre opened up the passing game and challenged opponents to cover his receivers downfield. Sunday, the Vikings threw on 24 of their first 38 plays and continued the assault until late the third quarter.
"We just wanted to stay on the gas and continue to be aggressive," Childress said.
So at a time when the Vikings wanted to get back to basics, when they wanted evoke the best of their 2009 performance on the eve of the playoffs, they exposed themselves for what they truly are and for what they can't pretend to be. This year's version of the Vikings is a passing team, and it will advance as far as Favre's right arm can take it.
They might still claim to be an offense built around Peterson, but there was no denying the facts Sunday. Not only did they pass on two-thirds of their plays in building a 31-0 halftime lead, the Vikings also split their limited running plays almost evenly between Peterson and backup Chester Taylor.
Peterson finished the regular season with 1,383 rushing yards, but he averaged 3.5 yards per carry over his final seven games and lost a key fumble in overtime of last Monday's 36-30 loss at Chicago. He started Sunday's game as scheduled, but Taylor and rookie Percy Harvin each got a carry before him. Ultimately, Peterson finished with 52 yards on nine carries. Taylor had seven carries (for 12 yards) before Childress pulled his key players late in the third quarter.
Asked to explain the unusual rotation, Childress said: "Just had a little different setup and things that we thought we would start with and work. There is no magic with that. Just luck of the draw -- how we're attacking the defense."
Childress also went out of his way to note that "the best team -- T-E-A-M -- wins this time of year." This isn't to say that Peterson won't prove a major factor in the playoffs. But on the day the Vikings made a goal of reestablishing themselves, there was no confusion.
"I think the game plan was pretty much what you saw," said Favre, who had his best statistical day of the season by completing 25 of 31 passes for 316 yards and four touchdowns.
Favre said the Vikings called a fair amount of "run-pass" options and indicated that the Giants, like many opponents this season, chose to defend the run and take their chances with the pass. For his part, Peterson estimated that opponents put at least one extra defender in the box on "98 percent" of the time this season and chose his words carefully when speaking about the reduced role he's playing in the Vikings' offense.
"As long as we keep doing what we're doing and we're winning, I have no complaints," he said.
Favre finished the regular season with 4,202 passing yards, the third-highest total in team history, and as a team the Vikings threw 553 times this season. That frequency represents a 19 percent increase from last season and corresponds with a 14 percent decrease in Peterson's carries.
On first blush, then, it appears the Vikings have realized where their bread is now buttered, so to speak. In the four quarters after halftime at Soldier Field last Monday, the Vikings threw on 55 of 88 plays (62.5 percent).
"It's generally driven by how they're trying to play at the line of scrimmage and what they're doing in the back end," Childress said. "You don't wan to put a round peg into a square hole. We're taking what they're leaving."
Would the Vikings suddenly become a running team if a playoff opponent pulls its extra man from the box? If it hasn't happened yet, should we expect it to happen now?
Peterson admitted he thought Favre's arrival would spur more base defensive sets. "But it is what it is," he said while adding he believes he has impacted the offense in other ways.
"Even though … we don't see the touches like we have in the past few years," he said, "I feel like we have contributed in a major way. We've opened things up for [Favre] in the pass game with the play action and things like that. That really helps with his reads and puts those guys one-on-one and gives them a chance to make plays."
Which is really what happened Sunday, and throughout the first two-thirds of the Vikings season. Favre found receiver Sidney Rice for a pair of touchdowns, and the pair set up another score with a 50-yard pass connection. Harvin caught seven passes for 84 yards and a score, and overall the Vikings averaged a stunning 9.7 yards per pass attempt.
As the No. 2 seed, the Vikings will play the higher-seeded team of the two that emerge from the wild-card round. Whoever it is -- either Dallas, Arizona or Green Bay -- would be fools not to expect more of the same.

Winter is here and I am really missing summer! The warm summer sun, walks in the neighborhood, swimming with the kids and Fried Green Tomatoes! Oh how I want some luscious mouth watering fried green tomatoes!! When I plant the tomatoes in the garden I plant them for this reason only. Sure they are great when they are ripe and juicy on a BLT sandwich or with cottage cheese but nothing……..I mean NOTHING beats a good batch of fried green tomatoes.
Making them is super easy to do and it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg either. Here is my families favorite way to eat them. Just thought I would share so your family could enjoy them too. 🙂
Fried Green Tomatoes
- 4 green tomatoes
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cornmeal
- 2 eggs
- pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 TBSP butter
- peanut oil
Wash and cut tomatoes into 1/2 inch thick slices. Lightly salt both sides and leave on rack or paper towels for 15 minutes to draw out some of the extra water in the tomatoes. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Whisk eggs in one bowl or dish for dipping. Combine flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper and cayenne in a plate or shallow dish. Dredge tomato slices in flour mix, then dip in egg, then dredge again in the flour mixture.
Fill pan up to 1/2 inch depth with peanut oil and heat on medium high (375 degrees), adding butter to the heating oil.
Add tomato slices to heated oil, browning on both sides for approximately 3 minutes. Remove and place on paper towel to drain excess oil.
Serve as is, or try these with ranch dressing or a spicy remoulade, such as Tony Chachere's Zesty Sandwich Spread..
