Attitude is Everything!
Peggy Davis doesn't like drama. "I don't get excited about things," she said. "I just take what comes." So, when she noticed she was starting to have trouble reading print, she didn't panic. She made it a point to mention it to her doctor the next time she had an eye exam. The thing was, she could see long distance just fine. In fact, she could see better driving without her glasses — until suddenly, one day, everything changed.
"It came on very, very quickly," she said. It scared her so she decided to hang up her car keys. "I didn't want to wait until I got into a car... Continue Reading

A Warm Thank You from the Kilton Family
The town of Sorrento, Maine, has a population of only 274. But even when the weather is chilly, it is a place of warmth and community. Take the Kilton family, for example. Marita and her husband Buddy just celebrated their 65th anniversary. The couple has 2 daughters, 6 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren. "And we're involved with all of them!" Marita said.
Marita is 80, and has been losing her central vision to macular degeneration for several years. Even though she's close to her family, she doesn't want to be dependent on anyone.
"We're fortunate," said her

At 89, Valla Enjoys Her Independence
It's been quite a winter this year, but with the melting snow come thoughts of Spring. It is a welcome change for Valla Hall. The 89-year-old enjoys her independence, and is eager to get out and walk once the snow is off the sidewalks. She enjoys walking to local stores and to get groceries. Valla had been driving until this past January. When she didn't pass her eye test, she had to hang up her car keys. That was a hard change for her to take, but she feels luckier than most. "I get to go places with others, and my son and daughter live nearby and often take me places."

Product Questions
The aquamedic units are contantly stirring and mixing the water to keep a fully saturated solution which is a much more consistent product. The TLF models just rely on your ATO pumps blasting the kalk with enough power to mix it as it goes through. You can basically use just about any normal top off pump with the Aquamedic.
Will this work?
Have a great day!
Full Details
Many of the other kalkwasser reactors available use a mixing pump to vigorously mix the kalkwasser at periodic junctions. This creates a highly-concentrated slurry of kalkwasser that cannot be dosed until it has settled out. To protect against this danger, these types of reactors require a complicated series of timers to control pump operation.
Does the job well. By Atoll on 10/3/2016Atoll would recommend this product to a friendBeen running my new AM Kalk reactor for a few monthss now and experienced non of the issues some appear to have had. No leaks and right sized tubing. Only down side is whoever fitted the check valve fitted it the wrong way round which stopped my RO topup water going through it. The reactor cost considerable less than the similar Deltec one so represents GVFM. I would have given it 5 stars if they check valve had been fitted the right way round.
Works but poor quality control By Jim on 4/26/2016Jim would recommend this product to a friendLike others I basically had to replace tubing. The feed line assembly (one with check valve) was cut too short and it leaked because it could not fully engage with the murlok fittings. Beyond that I had sufficient parts around to get it hooked up to my Tunze ATO feed line. Its been a while but pretty sure I had to replace the return hose as the one included didn't fit.
Otherwise it works as advertised but it remains to be seen how long that hot running motor lasts. So far its near silent in operation. For the simplicity of this unit and the materials used its pretty well overpriced. Its a stretch to say its worth even $200 let alone its $300 plus price tag,
good stirrer By Bruce on 3/21/2016Bruce would recommend this product to a friendAs others have stated the inlet line pre assembled is too short and will leak, the 1/2 line supplied for outlet will not fit onto hose barb. I fixed mine with items I had on hand, for the money what is supplied should work. only my second day but it seems to be working as stated, if not for the wrong size tubing supplied I would give it 5 stars
So far so good By Aqua medic kalk stirrer on 3/21/2016Aqua medic kalk stirrer would recommend this product to a friendInlet tube from top to bottom was too short and was not seated, 1/2 tubing was wrong size , was able to fix with items I had on hand. So far appears to be working but only up one day. If they had fixed it based on all the complaints it would be worth five stars and maybe the price, should be able to use as shipped for the money.
Leaky shoddy design By Bob on 5/30/2015Bob wouldn't recommend this product to a friendCould not get the inlet connection assembled without leaks. Inserted the supplied soft vinyl tubing into the MurLok style quick connect. It leaked. Tried 1/4" polyprop tubing. Could not get it fully engaged. Thought the unit was defective. BRS of course promptly replaced it. Replacement had the same problem. The unit uses tubing on the side that is .010" smaller diameter than the standard. Finally got it engaged by putting some silicone o ring grease on the end of the tube. Then both of the quick connects on the side leaked. The pieces had been cut too short, and were not fully engaged.
O-rings on the top and the outlet shipped dry with nothing said about greasing them. The meagre instructions recommend 2 coffee cups of Kalk shaken with water to charge the stirrer. I had to write to the manufacturer to find out that 2 coffee cups is 8 oz. of dry kalk powder. Unless you enjoy this kind of misadventure, I'd sincerely suggest a different unit.
Self inflicted issues By Frank on 1/31/2015Frank would recommend this product to a friendNow that I have had this running for a while I love it. I was really tired of mixing a 5 gallon bucket every week, and all the mess that came with it. I have a 150 with a 25 gallon sump and a 30 gallon frag tank all plumbed together. I do a constant drip with a Drew's Doser which drips a little over 5 gallons a week. When I set up the stirrer the first issue I ran into was it leaked at the fitting where the inlet fitting goes into the cylinder. The leak was where the push connect tubing goes into the fitting. After messing with it for a while I determined the hose was too short to reach between the fittings and fully engage. After replacing the hose with a slightly longer hose all was well. The second problem was I just could not get any flow through with the Drews doser. I soon discovered that was because on the usual problem. I didn't follow directions. When I filled the cylinder I just added 2 cups of dry Kalk instead of mixing it with RO and pouring the slurry into the cylinder. Dry Kalk packs in the hollow inlet part of the stirring shaft and a Drews doser just can't push it through. So follow directions and mix the Kalk into a slurry first then add it to the stirrer.
Great and easy to use By Vern on 3/16/2014Vern would recommend this product to a friendI had a different kalk reactor and I just fought and fought to get it to work just right. after dealing with it for a year enough was enough. I got this stirrer and hook it up to my ATO and is controlled with my Apex and all i have to do is keep kalk power in it and i'm set no more wondering if its going to crash my tank. It awesome just wish i had this the first time around so i had more time with my tank and not the reactor all the time.
Great Stirrer By Justin on 11/17/2012Justin would recommend this product to a friendI've had this Kalk reactor running on my tank for more than a year and a half. The only problem with it that I've had was the stirrer cracked where the screw attaches it to the motor at the top. I had to buy a new stirrer. Other than that it's been great.
Good product By paul on 7/19/2012paul would recommend this product to a friendI have had this product for about 2 years. I love having it and find it a great way to add Kalk to your tank. It works really well although it has jammed up a few times and I had to force the shaft to get it to start turning, also I have had it squeak from time to time for extended periods, not too loud. I am using it with a Tunze Osmolator and it does a great job. you have to be careful though. If you have a small water leak or if you start doing a water change before you unplug the Ozmolator it will put concentrated kalk into you tank really fast. A controller would probably negate that possibility. All and all I would recommend it.
Good product...a little pricey By Bob on 5/14/2012Bob would recommend this product to a friendThe product works as described and doses the kalk as needed with the top off system. It seems to be a little expensive for the materials used but it works.
Good product By Frank on 2/1/2012Frank would recommend this product to a friendIt works well but a little over priced for what it is. I have been running this stirrer for 3 months and it has worked well for dosing Kalk to my 90 gallon aquarium. I plan on buying another soon for my next build.
Very good for the price, comparing to others. By A. Grandis on 1/31/2012A. Grandis would recommend this product to a friendThis a very good kalk stirrer! It works great to keep alk and Ca++ to any marine system.
I use it with a BRS 5ml/min. pump/electronic timer dosing 4 times at night and it does the job greatly. Each time the pump doses for 15 min. The tank is a 75gal with a 20gal. sump. Coralline is all over the tank after only 20 days of added the reactor. No other calcium or alk. supplementation is added since then. Simply set and leave it alone doing it's job. Once an a while I check the pump and watch it work.
The only thing they could use better materials to build it. The idea and the dimensions are really functional, but the materials they built the reactor with are not the top quality. They could do a better job!
The check valve was installed in the opposite position and I'm glad I removed to check that out!!!!! That IS a BIG mistake when assembling the instrument!!! Shame on them! Hope it doesn't happen all the time!! A newbie wouldn't be able to figure out why the reactor wasn't working. Pump was pushing the water in and the reactor couldn't let the water flow to the system because of the check valve!! Crazy mistake!!
I will buy another of this for my future system!!!
I think this is the best for the buck for now in the market. I'm glad I've bought from BulkReefSupply!

Heriz Rugs
Collection of Antique Persian Heriz Rugs
Heriz Rugs – The village of Heriz is located just west of Tabriz in the Persian occupied part of Azerbaijan. Heriz carpets are mostly distinguished by their rectilinear designs, a departure from the traditional arabesques and scrolls typical of Persian manufactory. A large central stepped medallion with corners or an all over design of highly stylized floral motifs is quite typical. Repeating patterns are less common. The pile is thick and heavy and the color palette is rich and varied. Older Heriz rugs had madder grounds and medallions mostly of indigo. The finer rugs use the technique "double outlining", where the design of the rug is separated from the field by two lines in different colors. This design element sets the gold standard for the best Heriz designs.
Originating in Northwest Persia and the Iranian province of East Azerbaijan, Heriz Oriental rugs from Persia include regional patterns created in several dozen towns and villages in the area. These Azeri-Turkish groups from the Caucasus were pushed south by invading Russian and Soviet forces, and the area was subject to turbulent political influences that continued through the 20th century. Turkic nomads have produced fine carpets for export and resale since the 1700's, and antique Heriz rugs continue to enjoy great popularity in Europe and the U.S. The Heriz moniker is applied to regional rugs originating in Ahar, Gorevan and several other prominent villages. This has lead to some confusion about these trade terms.
The city of Heriz is located roughly 60 miles from the legendary carpet-producing city of Tabriz. Although they are closely related in some respects, their styles remain distinct. Antique Heriz rugs are known for their thick, strong and durable structure. Unlike many areas of Persia, rugs from Heriz are made with the symmetric Turkish or Ghiordes knot, which is attached to a specially woven foundation that includes a thick cotton warp and weft. The structure is only one factor that contributes to the durability and stability of antique rugs from Heriz, which differ from their cousins, the Serapi Rugs and the Bakshaish rugs. Further, some carpets from this region are referred to as Heriz Serapi rugs. Tucked into the foothills surrounding the historically active volcano Mount Sabalan, Heriz sits on top of rich mineral reserves and some of the largest copper deposits in the world. Pastoral nomads known as the Shahsavan migrated across the area moving closer to Mount Sabalan in the summer and further away during the harsh winters. The result is extremely durable wool containing trace amounts of copper that act as a natural mordant and dye fixative.
Since the early 19th century, Heriz has been producing European-sized carpets that define the angular style of northwest Persian rugs. These classically colored carpets, including Serapi Heriz rugs, often feature a traditional pairing of crimson red and clear Persian blue, which are combined with varied neutrals. Heriz rugs often feature dense allover patterns and angular octofoil medallions surrounded by rectilinear vine-scrolls decorated with a rich variety of contrasting colors.
Please note, the terms Heriz and Serapi are pretty much interchangeable. Heriz rugs are among the most recognizable Persian rugs because of their distinctive geometric designs and the expressive power of their drawing.
Both the "Serapi" and Heriz rugs tend to have strong medallion designs accented through the use of color. That said, allover design Heriz rugs are not that uncommon. Heriz carpets rely on floral inspired patterns with sharp strap-work vines and grand palmettes with zig-zag contouring.
Where other antique rugs from Persia would utilize a curved form, antique Heriz rugs will apply series of angular twists and sharp straight angle turns, imparting an emphatic geometry to the rug design.
Heriz rugs have glorious color, with rich reds, blues, greens, and yellows resonating against ivory. Much of the formal vocabulary, drawing, and color sensibility of these rugs is traceable to the classical antique Caucasian rugs of the eighteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Since the Heriz region of northern Perisa is not far from the Caucasus, it is not surprising that Heriz carpets have preserved so much of the classical Caucasian tradition. Some antique Heriz rugs , however, especially those produced in silk, display a different drawing and design vocabulary linked to other types of Persian carpet. They are identified as "Heriz" rugs primarily by their weave.
Just west of Tabriz lies the village of Heriz, located in the Iranian part of Azerbaijan. Herizes are mostly distinguished by their rectilinear designs, a departure from the traditional arabesques and scrolls typical of Persian manufactory. A large central stepped medallion with corners or an allover design of highly stylized floral motifs is quite typical. Repeating patterns are less common.
The pile is thick and heavy and the color palette is rich and varied. Older Heriz rugs had madder grounds and medallions mostly of indigo. The finer antique carpets use the technique "double outlining", where the design of the rug is separated from the field by two lines in different colors. This design element sets the gold standard for the best Heriz designs.
The Heriz style of is a paradigm for the traditional geometric designs of Northwest Persia. These distinctive rugs are woven with tribal weaves which accentuates the angles and boldness exhibited in the highly stylized floral motifs.
Typically these Oriental rugs carry a masculine aura to them. As far as interior design goes, this feature makes them perfect options for libraries, studies, and other rooms rich with wooden or earthy accents though they are also popular in living rooms both formal and non.

The story behind a creative talented singer songwriter who wants to create good albums
I'm is a singer-songwriter from the Netherlands.
Like most artists, the beginning of my music career wasn't an easy one. With a passion for music, I picked up my guitar again in September of 2014 and struggled through a song process. I realised that I needed to change the process of creating and mastering songs if I wanted to produce professional songs lyrically and musically. Only in that way I could make my dream come true of making good albums.
So I made the decision to improve my skills in writing lyrics, melody and singing. I decided to seek out the assistance of an American production company. Once I found a company I could trust, I sent in a demo of one of my original songs entitled, "Come to Me".
After making a few changes and additions, the company produced the backingmusic. For mixing and mastering my voice with the music I made use of the services of an English company. The final finishing touches of the song were made by myself, by adding the background vocals to the mix.
The end results shocked me. I couldn't believe that in just a few months, I had completed my first professional song and was receiving great feedback.
In this way 17 songs were recorded and I come a little closer to my dream of creating good albums.
debut album
People say that my vocals are reminiscent of the British Invasion bands of the 60's such as the Beatles and the Who. I take that as a huge compliment.
The combination of old school vocals with the modern day adult contemporary pop/rock tunes makes me stand out among other artists today. With great pride in my many achievements in only 8 short months, I released a full length album 18 May 2015 with 12 well crafted songs named 'The Night Turns To Morning Light'.
A reviewer said this:
"The Album 'The Night Turns To Morning Light' is a well written pop/rock album that shows Martin Lucassen has a real knack for coming up with consistently catchy and enjoyable songs. His voice is easy on the ear and the overall production quality is certainly good enough for radio. There are a number of potential singles on the album and his accessible sound will appeal to a wide range of people."
Check out these album reviews:
second album
On 9 December 2016 I released his second album 'Nobody Talks About it' with 11 songs. This time I did also put a lot of time in mixing the songs by myself. It was sometimes a big struggle, but in the end it's something I learned to manage. I think the album song's have a better sound and have in general stronger lyrics.
Martin Lucassen's "Nobody Talks About It" is a brilliant beautiful album with a lovely 60s psychedelic pop sheen to it.
Elements of pop, folk, classical, even a hint of Americana. Martin Lucassen creates a comforting, dreamy swirl of sound on the hopeful "Nobody Talks About It".
Check out these album reviews:
Remix of debut album
28 April 2017 Martin released a remix of 'The Night Turns To Morning Light'. It's revamped, remixed, and the result is a re-creation of a new sound all done by myself.
Some commands of reviewers:
"It's sometimes hard to describe music that doesn't fit the traditional genres but "Heavenly Alt-Folk" might just work for this fantastic album. Do yourself a favour and get a copy today.!"
"Smart, Beatle-esque, indie guitar pop done exceedingly well"
Check out these album reviews:
Lucassen's dreams
Besides creating good albums a dream of mine is to have a song placed in a film or tv serie.

And 'oliebollen', a typical Dutch treat, especially in wintertime: a dough shaped into a ball and fried in oil… No 'Old years eve' without 'oliebollen' :D .
So the 'oliebollenkraam' is the stand where the 'oliebollen', waffles and some similar treats, are sold…
Indeed: with the 'bakfiets' to the 'oliebollenkraam' … so typical Dutch that I can't translate LOL…
So… then just to make sure… the dictionary:
'bakfiets': carrier cycle
'oliebol': (no translation [giggle-shrug] )
Edited (Nov 22, 2009): Aaah, but the Canadian family of Johan (photowalker) Nijenhuis do have a good English translation for it! : 'oil domplings' – Thanks Johan! That captures it well! LOL
the decisive moment
LOL – yes, indeed, mom was slightly harassed… : she was hastily grabbing into her bag to find some paper napkins, since the boy was already 'diving into' the sack of 'oliebollen' they had just bought. And since those greasy things are covered with white sugar powder… she knew she would have a huge mess in no time… Which indeed, happened as expected, napkins or not… Luckily the mom could laugh about it :)

Overview Edit
The Department of Homeland Security launched CyberStat accountability sessions in January 2011. Through CyberStat, DHS cybersecurity experts engage with selected agencies to help them develop focused actions plans for improving their information security posture.
CyberStat is grounded in analysis that is based on data provided through CyberScope and other key data sources. The development of clear and consistent metrics for CyberScope has improved the ability of agencies to have more accountability for outcomes. As DHS works with agencies to improve data quality, the insights provided through CyberStat and CyberScope will enable DHS to assist agencies in quickly addressing problems that pose risks.
DHS-led CyberStat sessions promote accountability and assist Federal civilian agencies in driving progress with key strategic enterprise cybersecurity capabilities. Specifically, CyberStat is designed to:
- Highlight capability areas where agencies must place additional focus;
- Help agencies remove roadblocks to meeting requirement standards; and
- Recognize agencies in those areas where they are meeting requirement standards.
CyberStat sessions feature representatives from DHS, OMB, the National Security Staff (NSS), and agency teams working together to carefully examine program data with a focus on problem solving. The outcome is a prioritized action plan for the agency to improve overall agency performance. Information compiled from the review process will also give DHS, OMB, NSS and other relevant stakeholders a holistic viewpoint of the cybersecurity posture of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government, informing future policy and oversight decisions.

Immunotherapy for non-small-cell lung cancer: current approaches
- First Online:
Lung cancer has long been regarded as a poor candidate for immunotherapy, because it has a relatively low content of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes compared with, for example, melanoma. However, new developments in immunotherapy are about to change this situation. Therapeutic vaccines are different from the well-known prophylactic vaccines, in that they are designed to treat patients already suffering from a disease instead of preventing the disease in healthy individuals. Several therapeutic vaccines are in late-stage clinical development for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). These vaccines use different approaches, including peptides, cell lines or viral vectors, and are used in different settings within the pathology. Some are given as monotherapy, whereas others are combined with traditional therapy for this indication. More recently developed, and very promising, are the checkpoint-blocking antibodies. It is likely that in the future several approaches, including immunotherapy products, will be combined in the evolving standard of care for lung cancer. This review gives a summary of the candidate immunotherapy products currently in late-stage clinical development for NSCLC.

Tanka, also known as Waka, were the traditional short poems and songs in Rokugan. They were written in short lines with thirty-one syllables following a 5-7-5-7-7 syllabic pattern. The more modern form of poetry called renga was based on the same syllabic pattern as waka, [1] and haiku as well, a development of the first three lines of the tanka, known as the hokku. [2]
Tournament Edit
Every year a poetry competition was held by the Emperor, and sponsored by the Crane Clan. Thousands of people entered their waka on a topic chosen by the Emperor himself. [1]
Grave Marker Edit
Tanka were commonly encountered on ancient grave markers, before the Imperial decree dictating cremation of all bodies. [3]
Structure Edit
The tanka was a deceptively simple poem with a striking or complex meaning. It consisted of five "units," each represented on a separate line on paper. The first three units were the "upper half" and the last two were the "completion" or "lower half." Each unit was a complete or partial statement, consisting of a specific number of total syllables (more accurately, mora) on each line. The number of syllables/mora on each line must match the number of symbols to represent them. A tanka must divide its statement in the first and second halves; the first half should conjure a specific metaphor or image, and the couplet should either complete the metaphor or make a statement about the point of the first half. [4]
Conventions Edit
There were several conventions associated to Tanka poetry:
- Makurakotoba - use of ephitets
- Honkadori - a specific type of allusion

The first details of Mass Effect 3 will be revealed in the next issue of Game Informer magazine, but they're also all over the internet. If you want an early look at the future adventures of Commander Shepard, just continue reading. Obviously, major spoiler alert!
Here's what we know about Mass Effect 3:
The game begins with Shepard on Earth, standing trial for the events that went down during the Mass Effect 2 "Arrival" DLC. The Reapers invade; Shepard escapes to the Normandy, and the plot begins. Returning squad-mates: Liara, Ashley/Kaiden, Garrus (if he's alive) A New Squad-Mate, James Sanders, will join your crew. Returning Characters: Wrex, Mordin, Legion, and Anderson will appear in the game (if they're alive), but aren't confirmed as squad-mates. The Illusive Man plays a prominent role in Mass Effect 3, and Cerberus is out to kill Shepard, but we don't know why as of yet. Multiple Endings: Different endings will be given, depending on the actions you take in the game. Gameplay: RPG elements are being beefed up, including a focus on skill trees. Powers will evolve more than once. Weapons: similar to Mass Effect 2, except mods make a return, allowing you to swap out barrels, scopes, and more, which affect the weapon's performance and look. All classes can wield all weapons, but will have limited slots to carry them. For example, only the Soldier can carry all weapons at once. Gameplay Comic: If you're just getting into Mass Effect with this game, the plots of the first two games will be summed up in a comic.
Update The latest issue of Game Informer is now out. Check it out its pretty cool.

By Dan Sewell, AP Business Writer
CINCINNATI Kroger on Wednesday confirmed its earnings guidance for the year and said a key sales measure is trending higher, even as U.S. consumers are cutting back on spending.
The nation's largest traditional grocery chain said identical supermarket sales growth, a key retail indicator that tracks stores open at least five quarters, was running above 5 percent, not including fuel sales, for the current quarter. Kroger said sales in the second four weeks of the quarter that began Aug. 17 were stronger than in the first four weeks.
Kroger, hosting an investors' conference, backed its earlier fiscal 2008 earning guidance of $1.85 to $1.90 per share, excluding the effects of Hurricane Ike in September. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters are expecting $1.92.
Kroger also confirmed its same-store supermarket sales growth projection for the year of 4.5 to 5.5 percent.
"Kroger has the right strategy in place to continue to serve our customers, associates and shareholders during this challenging economy," David B. Dillon, chairman and CEO, said in a statement that noted the "solid identical sales growth." He added that Kroger has sufficient liquidity to take care of short-term borrowing needs, which some corporations are having trouble meeting because of the nation's credit crisis.
Kroger has been adding to regular-customer incentives for grocery discounts and cheaper gas at its stations, while expanding store-brand items usually priced lower than national brands and offering more prepared meals for people cutting back on restaurants.
"In this uncertain economy, we are delivering value to shoppers on any budget," Dillon said.
Kroger shares were down Wednesday afternoon at $24.71, off 96 cents or 3.7 percent. They have traded in a 52-week range of $22.30 to $30.99.
Earlier Wednesday, the Commerce Department reported that retail sales fell 1.2 percent in September, demonstrating that U.S. consumers were watching their spending.
Kroger's statements came one day after rival Supervalu Inc. reported that its profit fell nearly 14 percent in its second quarter. The Minneapolis-based chain cut its 2009 profit guidance by 4 cents per share.
Kroger last month reported that its second-quarter profit rose 3.4 percent.
John Heinbockel, a Goldman Sachs analyst, said Wednesday he remains "relatively bullish" on food retailers, led by Kroger and Safeway Inc., which he said have solid fundamentals and attractive valuations.
"We see two silver linings from the current weak economy -- rising private label penetration and share gains from restaurants," he wrote in a research note.
Kroger has said it's too soon to estimate an impact from Hurricane Ike and its remnants on second-half results. The storm disrupted Kroger operations in Texas and several inland states including Ohio, causing wind damage and power outages that forced some stores and plants to shut down temporarily and lose outage-spoiled food.
Cincinnati-based Kroger operates 2,474 supermarkets and multi-department stores in 31 states, under two dozen local banners that include Ralphs, Fred Meyer, Food 4 Less, Fry's, King Soopers, Smith's, Dillons, QFC and City Market.

BSOD! crashes 9/10 times when launching game
My com crashes 9 out of 10 times I launch the game - dota 2. It also crashes randomly when I am surfing the net although it is not as frequent.
I've run memtest86 for 7 passes and it detected no errors so I believe the problem does not lie with my rams. Would appreciate if any of the professionals here could point me to the cause of these crashes. I've attached some of the more recent minidump files.
Thanks in advance!

Hello Candicey and welcome to Sevenforums.
BSOD Analyse
You mentioned that you've used Memtest86+, but have you done it in this procedure?
Looking at your bugcheck it's likely that a memory corruption event was triggered. Though a driver could be causing the memory to be borked, but we're usually suggesting a memory test before moving forward. Do a scan with Memtest86+. Memtest is a scanner that'll check your sticks for errors.
Note that the below instructions may break your WARRANTY rules. If you're unsure check manuals, separated warranty papers, stickers on computer for secure permission.
To ensure that we'll know if it's the slots on the motherboard that's broken, or the sticks itself - we have a little procedure we'll recommend. Remove 1 stick, scan the other with Memtest in the current slot. After 7 passes, move the stick to another slot and scan, and so on and so forth until you've scanned all the sticks, and all the slots, one by one.
Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool
There's a few things to talk about regarding this sort of bugcheck.

Mitt Romney said Sunday at a campaign stop in New Hampshire that he would not support any deal struck by the supercommittee that included new taxes, even if it meant trading limited tax increases now for the assurance that the Bush tax cuts would become permanent.
"I believe the right answer is cutting taxes, so I will not endorse any plan that raises revenues, raises taxes," Romney said, according to Fox News.
Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) had proposed such a plan earlier this week, but his proposal - which would have raised around $300 billion by closing tax loopholes in exchange for nearly $700 billion in spending cuts - was denounced by many on the right, including anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist.
"There will be a lot of give and take of proposals made and yet I will not support any proposal based upon increasing taxes or revenues. I will support proposals reducing spending," Romney said.
Romney also defended himself from charges that he had not actively explained what he would like to see out of the supercommittee, tasked with finding $1.2 trillion in deficit reduction over the next 10 years. If the supercommittee fails to reach an agreement by their Nov. 23 deadline, as sources indicate it will, automatic cuts to the military and healthcare budgets will be imposed.
"I pretty much go across the country every day talking about what I would do to balance the budget," Romney said, arguing that Congress should "rein in excessive spending in the current budget and reform Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security to make them prominently sustainable."
Romney also defended his campaign's strategy of limiting time in Iowa, the first nominating contest. The former Masachusettes governor skipped a birthday party for Iowa governor Terry Branstad earlier this week and the Family Leader forum, a Christian voters summit attended by all his primary opponents. His absence led to a critical comment from Branstad, who warned Romney about the repercussions of taking the caucuses too lightly. In 2008, Romney spent a considerable amount of time and money in Iowa, but ultimately placed second after eventual nominee John McCainJohn McCainMcCain returning to Senate in time for health vote Senate Dems launch talkathon ahead of ObamaCare repeal vote Overnight Healthcare: Trump pressures GOP ahead of vote | McConnell urges Senate to start debate | Cornyn floats conference on House, Senate bills | Thune sees progress on Medicaid MORE.
"As we get closer to the caucuses and the primaries, you will see us visiting those states more, spending more time there, turning out more volunteers and being more active, because as we get closer to the election, not surprisingly we want people going to the polls to support us," Romney said.
But, Romney said, he wasn't going to lay out his strategy for his opponents. Romney has not gone up on air with any advertisements yet in the Hawkeye state, despite spending by his opponents.
"I would tell you, if you won't tell anybody," Romney joked to the media.

We used to be primal. First, 8 years ago, we were "balanced" - sort of. We did the zone diet if anyone is familiar with that. Then, we moved onto traditional foods when I got pregnant. Then on to primal. I totally see the value of promal for some folks, but I am realizing that my body really does better on a traditional foods diet. I think the kids do better, too. So, as I attempt to incorporate more grains and legumes back into our diet I am sort of at a loss. It is amazing what I cannot remember. For me, if I dont use it I lose it and that means I cant really remember all the soaking stuff. So, I have a quick bread recipe that uses flour, yogurt, a small amt of maple syrup, salt and baking soda. If I mix this and put it in the fridge over night and cook it in the morning, will that be enough to neutralize the phytic acid?
Sorry, I'm not a baker so I can't help with the bread issue.
But I'm wondering what has led you to believe that a Traditional Foods diet is better for you? I'm in the process of switching to TF as well and am just starting to reintroduce rice and some soaked/sprouted grains such as buckwheat and quinoa. For me the problem with paleo was very bad anxiety leading to depression. It's too early to tell whether going back to TF is helping.
I think that to do paleo/primal right, we really need to eat a lot of animal fat, organs, and take supplements, and eat ferments. The supplements for anxiety and depression would be Magnesium, B complex, extra inositol and choline, 5htp, D3, and tons of cod liver oil for efa's, and nutritional yeast, iodine, and selenium. There are lots of b vitamins and magnesium in some grains, and so when people go paleo and don't eat sources of these stuff starts to suffer. And I really think that while it would be romantic to get all our nutrients from food, that it is just not possible in the postmodern food supply. I do modified paleo because I am a single mom and sometimes there is just not enough money to do it right, but I do know that when I eat eggs and liver cooked in fat for breakfast, that I am not tired...but when I eat carbs for breakfast I am.
"I think that to do paleo/primal right, we really need to eat a lot of animal fat, organs, and take supplements, and eat ferments."
This is so true. A 'cavewoman' diet really helped me recover from Celiac diease and Fibromyalgia and I'm never going back to eating even gluten free grains.
However, I have branched out more lately into incorporating more seeds in my diet, and this has been nice. I make my own flax seed crackers, and I bake using quinoa(a psuedo-creal, NOT a grain), coconut flour, almond meal, and tapioca starch when I really want a baked treat.
If you feel like you need grain-like foods again, try quinoa, it's wonderful. There are many alternatives to eating corn and wheat, and they'll be healthier for you.
I also eat liver one a week, and make bone broth to get my magnesium and calcium intake up. And I don't shy from the fatty meat! (hilarious since I used to be vegan...)
All the best to you!
I get all my nutrient from my diet. I analyzed it with software. And the best thing is....I simply eat normal food from scratch and I dnot need to boil broths for hours or consume tons of kale or spout anything. Diversity is the key....and butter...and enjoying food in general. And not obsessing with ridiculous modern fads.
When primal, we did eat nuts and seeds - properly soaked. We also ate quinoa and buckwheat, but that was it and not very often. Maybe once or twice a week. We had lots of organic, grass-fed animal fats and protein I'll tell ya that while I didntget the cravings for sugar (which is nice), I didnt feel all "there." I sort of felt run down. I'd try to tweak it and eat more fats to see if it helped, then more protein, but the truth is that it was the carbs that balanced me out. I felt normal. I didnt feel overly stuffed after meals due to carbs (as lots of people do when they overdo carbs), and I didnt feel a lack of energy or like I was in a fog. And, my digestive systems seems to work better with more carbs. The kids seem to have more energy, too. Although, being kids, they are high energy anyway. But, they seem to be slightly less moody when they are hungry. I find that odd since it seems to work the opposite way for lots of other people. I can totally see it for people who medically need to be primal (diabetes, celiac) but if there is no underlying problem, perhaps it really isnt the best way to go for everyone. People have been thriving for thousands of years on properly prepared grains. It is with the modern convenience food and food prep that people are starting to have problems - the last hundred years or so. Ya think?
Alenushka, I also think diversity is the key. I totally see the value of bone broth, etc, but I do think they more variety is the healthy way to go. Though, supplements are necessary for some.
Sometime, despite healhty diet body does not process certain things. That is true. There tests for it. My DH has low vitamin B....not dietary cahnges worked. He neded shots.
I think the best way to eat is the way that makes you feel good. I eat a primarily paleo diet but I also have been on the specific carbohydrate diet too along with fermented foods and proper soaking a la WAP. Paleo diet alone was not the key for me. And it may not be the heaven-sent cure for everyone. So add some grain back (properly soaked and prepared, I think is best) and see how you do. Try it for 30 days and if it's working for you, why not?
Is the quick bread recipe made from wheat flour? I don't know for sure if that would be enough to neutralize the phytic acid but it should help.
Nirvana is . . . the living happiness of a soul which is conscious of itself and conscious of having found its own abode in the heart of the Eternal. --Gandhi
Yes the quick bread is made with wheat bread.
So, Here is my next question. After doing more research to refresh my memory on sokaing methods, I came across info that stated that soaking grains in a medium that contains calcium prevents the breakdown of phytic acid. ever heard of such a thing? That would mean not to soak in yogurt, wich is rec for lots of things. Thaoughts?
I've never heard of such a thing until I went googling for it. All I've ever heard is that the medium must be acidic and that's that. Interesting stuff. . .
Nirvana is . . . the living happiness of a soul which is conscious of itself and conscious of having found its own abode in the heart of the Eternal. --Gandhi
i've also heard that phytic acid is a treatment for cancer. Some supplement called ip-6 or something. supposed to block the cancer cells from getting iron. but I guess it blocks your body too.
Yep. blocks it in your body. And other nutrients, too, which is why it is good to break it down. But, Now, I cant figure out how to do that. The research I find seems more scientific regarding the exclusion of calcium rich foods to soak rather than the inclusion. and, this bothers me because I would much prefer to soak in yogurt than anything else.,.
Have you tried just making an ordinary sourdough starter without the dairy? That's quite acidic, and then you don't have to worry about the calcium issue. You can make quick breads and pancakes with sourdough starter. Just search for a recipe online that you like - "sourdough cornbread, or sourdough buckwheat pancakes" or whatever.
Some phytic acid is good for you. I believe that there is some research that shows that it not only helps people who already have cancer, but it can help prevent cancer as well. It's probably okay if all of it is not neutralized in your bread. It would only be a problem if you ate so much phytic acid that it blocked absorption of a significant amount of nutrients from your other food.
I think the best way to eat is the way that makes you feel good. I eat a primarily paleo diet but I also have been on the specific carbohydrate diet too along with fermented foods and proper soaking a la WAP. Paleo diet alone was not the key for me. And it may not be the heaven-sent cure for everyone. So add some grain back (properly soaked and prepared, I think is best) and see how you do. Try it for 30 days and if it's working for you, why not?
Is the quick bread recipe made from wheat flour? I don't know for sure if that would be enough to neutralize the phytic acid but it should help.
I agree. Try adding grain back to your diet for a short trial; if it works, keep it, if it doesn't, go back to strictly primal. There is no harm in experimenting, no one diet works perfectly for every single body. Do what works for you!

Illini grade vs. Dartmouth: C
Rayvonte Rice, Illinois
The Champaign native continued to display his scoring prowess, scoring a team-high 13 points and becoming the first UI newcomer to reach double figures in each of his first 10 games since Kiwane Garris.
Illinois B
Dartmouth D
Abrams' hot start was a carryover from his dazzling performance against Auburn in Atlanta, and Joseph Bertrand added a scoring touch when needed.
Illinois C
Dartmouth A
The Illini big men had trouble guarding Connor Boehm and Gabas Maldunas, who each scored 17 points. Jon Ekey's three-point marksmanship was needed in what turned out to be a close game.
Illinois A
Dartmouth B
Malcolm Hill had the best game of his career with 10 points and four rebounds, while all the freshmen made solid contributions at both ends against a difficult offense.
Illinois C
Dartmouth B
The Illini didn't buckle under late pressure from the Big Green, but Saturday's game against the high-octane Oregon attack will be a different beast and a true barometer for where the Illini stand at this stage in the season.

|[jira] Created: (GERONIMO-3594) Numerous problems in javamail SearchTerm impl.
|Fri, 09 Nov 2007 17:03:50 GMT
Numerous problems in javamail SearchTerm impl. ---------------------------------------------- Key: GERONIMO-3594 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3594 Project: Geronimo Issue Type: Bug Security Level: public (Regular issues) Components: mail Reporter: Rick McGuire Assignee: Rick McGuire There are a number of problems in the javamail SearchTerm classes. The fall into several general categories: 1) Some search terms rely on method calls in the Message class that can return a null result. This leads to null pointer exceptions when performing client-side match operations. 2) A number of classes don't override the equals() method and ensure that the other object is of the correct type. 3) Some equals method implementations don't include all data items in the compare, which can lead to false positives. 4) The hashCode methods don't always include all data items in the hash. In at least one case, an item is included that will create an invalid hash that will violate the hashCode()/equals() general contract. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

The Sky Sports reporter at the Rafa Benitez press conference today for the Manchester City game said it was exactly 25 years today that Sky Sports went on the air, and he asked Rafa what had been his greatest standout moment in England with the clubs he has managed – Liverpool, Chelsea and now Newcastle United.
Rafa Benitez – an inspirational manager
This is how Rafa answered that question:
"The best one could be the victory tomorrow against Manchester City – that would be the best one."
"If I have this one you can ask me at the next press conference and I will tell you this one – so hopefully we can win against Manchester City and it will be this one."
"When I decided to come here it was because I knew this was a massive club, you can see the crowd of 48,000 – 50,000 the other day still supporting the team – so if we win tomorrow night it will be a great achievement."
Rafa also said it was important for everybody at Newcastle to stick together and concentrate only on what we can control:
"We cannot control the other teams, we have to control what we can – that's our team, the mentality, the focus, the fans, the staff and everyone here."
"As I've said before we have to stick together and try to get 3 points in this game – and then think about the next one."
That's not the first time the manager has asked everybody associated with Newcastle United to pull together in the same direction to try to get Newcastle United to survive the drop.
It was another impressive performance from Rafa in the press conference today as he tells his players again and again what they have to do to start winning games – and maybe it's finally getting through to them.
Comments welcome.

Kentucky tops Wichita State in a game that exceeded expectations
The Wildcats advanced to the Sweet 16 when Fred VanVleet's shot at the buzzer missed.
More NCAA hoops: Tournament bracket | Complete coverage of NCAAs | Latest news
ST. LOUIS -- The inbounds play is called "Havlicek" because the Celtics legend is known for hitting big shot after big shot, and so that's what Gregg Marshall decided to name it. Havlicek. After John Havlicek, obviously. And when Fred VanVleet called a timeout with 3.2 seconds remaining, that's the word that came from Gregg Marshall's mouth.
The play has three options.
VanVleet catching and shooting at the top of the key "was the third option," Wichita State associate head coach Chris Jans told me afterward. "But we got a good shot."
Indeed, the Shockers did.
VanVleet caught the inbounds pass, used a right-handed bounce to go left, then a left-handed bounce to go right, at which point he took advantage of a screen, got a clean look and let a shot fly with 1.8 seconds remaining. Ron Baker was standing in the right corner.
"I wasn't moving at all because I knew right then and there that he was going to put the shot up, and I wouldn't want anybody else taking it," Baker said. "We'll live with that every time."
Kentucky beat Wichita State on Sunday in the Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament.
The final score was 78-76.
Those are the exact numbers on the scoreboard above the court here at the Scottrade Center when VanVleet launched that 3-pointer at the buzzer, which is another way of sayingnVanVleet's 3-pointer at the buzzer did not go through the hoop. So Kentucky won and Wichita State lost, and Kentucky vs. Louisville in the Sweet 16 will be a blast.
That'll get a lot of attention in the coming days.
But before looking ahead, it's important to look back and do two things: 1) Appreciate this UK-WSU game for what it was, and 2) Respect the 35-1 season the Shockers just produced.
Let's start with No. 1.
No. 1: I wrote in advance of tipoff that Wichita State-Kentucky was the most compelling Round of 32 matchup in history, and, somehow, the game still exceeded expectations. Back and forth, big play after big play, it literally wasn't decided until the final buzzer sounded, and the announced crowd of 19,676 seemed to understand -- with every dribble, drive and dunk -- that it was watching something special, witnessing something great.
"You all understand this was an Elite Eight game, right?" Kentucky coach John Calipari said. "The winner of this should've gone to the Final Four."
The winner of this still might.
The Wildcats have been uneven all season, and their struggles are well-documented. But they performed brilliantly against Wichita State -- shooting 54.0 percent against one of the nation's best defenses. So, suddenly, anything seems possible for the preseason No. 1 team.
"To see us coming together as a team and getting better each game, and finally get a big win like that, I just enjoyed it," said UK freshman Julius Randle, who finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. "Everybody is happy. We just have to keep building on it."
Now let's focus on No. 2 for a moment.
No. 2: I haven't polled every college coach, but my guess is that all of them would love to have a season in which they won 97.2 percent of their games. That's what Wichita State just did, by the way. Don't ever forget that. And if that was easy to do, regardless of conference affiliation, then somebody besides Wichita State from a so-called mid-major conference would've probably done it in the past two decades. Don't ever forget that, either.
Still, this hurt.
Every Wichita State player I talked with told me that. They all think this team is better than the team that went to last year's Final Four, and they all thought they were headed for another Final Four despite the Midwest Regional being stacked. Consequently, they seemed stunned in the locker room, in disbelief that it was over. They had not lost a game in more than 11 months. They didn't plan on losing a game till at least November.
"I'm a little bummed out," Baker said. "You wish you could go back, but you can't."
I'll be honest, I thought, that if Wichita State lost short of the Sweet 16 that the skeptics who had flooded Twitter and other social media sites in recent months would leap to call the Shockers frauds and all sorts of other stuff. That didn't really happen, though.
Because Wichita State was that impressive in defeat. The Shockers didn't win, I know. But they went basket-for-basket with a roster of future NBA Draft picks, and, more important, they looked the part. That doesn't make the loss sting any less. But it's something.
By the time Sunday ended Iowa State had used a crazy comeback to beat North Carolina, and Tennessee had advanced to the Sweet 16 with a 20-point victory (and despite being a No. 11 seed). So there were lot of nice stories in college basketball, and there will be more later this week, then again the following week. That's the awesome thing about this event. It provides drama and then, before you can really catch your breath, more drama.
On some level, it all blends together.
On some level, it can all just become a big blur.
But this UK-WSU game felt bigger than normal, better than usual, and it's the type of game that'll be remembered for a long time, maybe forever. The final play was called Havlicek, and it didn't go how Wichita State planned. But for a moment a ball hung in the air, a game in the balance, and that moment is the foundation of every great NCAA Tournament.
"It was a very high-level basketball game between two incredibly gifted teams," Marshall said. "And one team won -- by one play, one basket, two points."

Super League: Castleford thump Wakefield at the Ethiad Stadium
Kirk Dixon scored four tries to help Castleford thump Wakefield 49-24 in the second game of Magic Weekend.
Last Updated: 26/05/13 10:58am
Daryl Powell also celebrated his first win as Tigers coach in a 13-try feast against their derby rivals at the Ethiad Stadium in Manchester.
Although Dixon took the plaudits, Rangi Chase created five of their nine tries in the sun to impress and help his side move away from the foot of the table.
Wakefield, who won 37-16 win at the home of their near neighbours back in March, were desperately disappointing as they lost further ground in their pursuit of a play-off spot.
It was largely one-way traffic from the fourth minute when hooker Daryl Clark squeezed over from dummy half after forward Grant Millington had been brought down just short of the line.
Jamie Ellis kicked the first of his six goals and they were quickly in again with a spectacular 90-metre try. Indeed, the Tigers were scoring at a point a minute when Dixon touched down Chase's kick to the line for his first of the day.
The Wildcats struggled to get out of their own half and they fell further behind on 25 minutes when prop Craig Huby regathered Chase's high kick to register a fourth score.
Brief fightback
Ellis' third goal made it 22-0 but the slow-starting Wildcats struck with two tries in five minutes to briefly haul themselves into the game.
Samoan international Taulima Tautai marked his debut by setting up Dean Collis for his eighth try of the season, and captain Danny Kirmond then took Lee Smith's pass to slice through for another.
But Castleford then pulled further clear with two more tries in the last five minutes of the first half through Dixon and blockbusting winger Justin Carney.
At 32-12, there was no way back for Wakefield, although centre Collis scored his second try after collecting Tim Smith's pinpoint kick to the corner.
Dixon collected Chase's long pass to complete his hat-trick on 50 minutes and, after Thompson had barged over for a solo score, finished off a sweeping move to add his fourth try of the match.
Wakefield replacement Chris Annakin grabbed a consolation effort and Smith kicked his fourth goal, but Ellis had the final say when he put over a drop goal to round out the scoring.

I had the pleasure of catching The Living Deads here in my town of Mishawaka, literally down the street from me. I love going to shows where the band interacts with the audience and has fun banter back and forth with each other. The Living Deads are not your typical rockabilly. Raw and gritty with an appreciation for all kinds of genres within the rockabilly family. I think my personal favorite track was Truck Stop Snacks…self admittedly a song they more than likely wrote on the road where they seem to perpetually live. I did my duty and threw ten bucks in the GAS MONEY can and bought a CD and parking lot pressed tee shirt in order to support a truly wonderful, American vagabond act. If the infectious, hard slapping stand up bass player Symphonyy Tidwell doesn't get you moving…then you're dead anyway and not in a good horror kind of way. Follow the link above and find out where they're playing next, you'll have a killer time!

The Source is an old restaurant and the kitchen facilities of a great restaurant. A lovely covered terrace with heating and a large BBQ. The bar is still functional. However, the property needs some maintenance, but it is very clean. highly recommended, I would also say the wooded area and the cultural experiences make it worth it. Owner Jan Peters set every effort to make it. you feel
In honor of the 45th wedding anniversary of our parents and the 65th anniversary of our mother, we have been away for a weekend in the Source. It was quite a surprise for our parents that there is a bar in was because our parents have always had a cafe and so their profession once were allowed to run! It is a spacious house with a large extended kitchen. Very good for large groups of friends or family just like us. Beautiful bedrooms with good mattresses. In each bedroom has its own bathroom and if you want to get away from the crowds as you can calm yourself up watching some TV. It is an older building and you see that there is here and things are aging but the owner is here working hard to improve this. Highly recommended!!!
The Source is a great location in a very pleasant setting in a beautiful nature. Both for sports enthusiasts as well as for the kids this was a wonderful week, thanks to the good weather.

My family LOVES Chinese food. However, it costs us about $30 to go out to the Chinese Restaurant. I have mastered the art of cooking Sweet and Sour Chicken, my family actually prefers it to dining out, but my son could live off of Cashew Chicken (he likes to call it peanut chicken).
Since it was his birthday, I decided that I would make a whole Chinese-themed dinner.
Here is the the recipe I used for the
Cashew Chicken:
1 pound chicken (I used about 4 boneless skinless breasts)
1 egg
1/4 c milk
Since my chicken was frozen, I boiled it until it was almost all the way cooked through. Chopped it up into bite size pieces. Then I dipped it in the egg and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Tossed it in the flour that I seasoned with a dab of wheat germ, seasoned salt and some pepper. It sat there until I could mess with it. Then I "fried" it in corn oil on the stove top. Since it was pretty well already cooked, we were just going after the crispy outside.
For the sauce:
2 c of the broth from boiling the chicken
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp soy sauce (this mostly what you want for your taste. We used about 3, and we would've preferred more!)
4tbsp cornstarch
You will need to get about 1/2 cup of your broth and add the cornstarch to it, and mix. Set aside. Combine the remaining broth, salt and soy sauce. Bring it to a boil and add the cornstarch mixture. Continue to stir until it thickens. Remove from heat. Top chicken with the sauce and cashews serve over homemade fried rice.
I also tried my hand at making egg rolls. After making the chickaritos, I realized that it wouldn't be as hard as I had made them out to be. I just randomly came up with my own adaptation of egg rolls. I loved them, and so did the kids…but Willie wasn't a huge fan. I think because they weren't fried!

My fees are fair and competitive: $350 for a portfolio shoot. This includes 4 edited and retouch images that you choose, plus a cd of the entire photo session. Your pictures will be ready no more than two weeks. Being that said, when it comes to tfp, or tfc.; the processing takes about the same time. I know that some of you have had previous experience with other photographers that promise to deliver your pictures whether it was a paid shoot or tfp, never deliver in a timely matter. I am not one of those photographers. But I also expect the same in return.
*Casting Call! I'm looking for new images to add to my portfolio, I'm looking into doing art style lighting with the tulle, some in a bridal portrait, mixture of on-location and studio work. This is for tfp, so in exchange I will offer a free portfolio! Call today (626) 827-2534
