This Dynamic Earth: The Story of Plate Tectonics
In the early 1960s, the emergence of the theory of plate tectonics started a revolution in the earth sciences. Since then, scientists have verified and refined this theory, and now have a much better understanding of how our planet has been shaped by plate-tectonic processes. We now know that, directly or indirectly, plate tectonics influences nearly all geologic processes, past and present. Indeed, the notion that the entire Earth's surface is continually shifting has profoundly changed the way

What Are Antidepressants?
Antidepressants are medicines that treat depression. They may help improve the way your brain uses certain chemicals that control mood or stress. You may need to try several different antidepressant medicines before finding the one that improves your symptoms and has manageable side effects. A medication that has helped you or a close family member in the past will often be considered.
Types of Antidepressants
There are several types of antidepressants.
- selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
- serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)
- tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs)
- monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
There are other antidepressants that don't fall into any of these categories and are considered unique, such as Mirtazapine and Bupropion.
Learn more about the different types of antidepressants.
Taking Antidepressants
Antidepressants take time – usually 2 – 4 weeks – to work, and often symptoms such as sleep, appetite, and concentration problems improve before mood lifts, so it is important to give medication a chance before reaching a conclusion about its effectiveness.
If you begin taking antidepressants, do not stop taking them without the help of a doctor. Sometimes people taking antidepressants feel better and then stop taking the medication on their own, and the depression returns. When you and your doctor have decided it is time to stop the medication, usually after a course of 6 – 12 months, the doctor will help you slowly and safely decrease your dose. Stopping them abruptly can cause withdrawal symptoms.
Side Effects
Although all antidepressants can cause side effects, some are more likely to cause certain side effects than others. You may need to try several different antidepressant medicines before finding the one that improves your symptoms and has side effects that you can manage.
Common side effects listed by the FDA for antidepressants are
- nausea and vomiting
- weight gain
- diarrhea
- sleepiness
- sexual problems.
Other more serious but much less common side effects listed by the FDA for antidepressant medicines can include seizures, heart problems, and an imbalance of salt in your blood, liver damage, suicidal thoughts, or serotonin syndrome (a life-threatening reaction where your body makes too much serotonin). Serotonin syndrome can cause shivering, diarrhea, fever, seizures, and stiff or rigid muscles.
Most antidepressants are generally safe, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that all antidepressants carry black box warnings, the strictest warnings for prescriptions. The warning says that patients of all ages taking antidepressants should be watched closely, especially during the first few weeks of treatment.
For older adults who are already taking several medications for other conditions, it is important to talk with a doctor about any adverse drug interactions that may occur while taking antidepressants.
Herbal and Natural Products
You may have heard about an herbal medicine called St. John's wort. Although it is a top-selling botanical product, the FDA has not approved its use as an over-the-counter or prescription medicine for depression and there are serious concerns about its safety and effectiveness.
(Watch the video to hear a short scientific discussion about how St. John's wort interacts with medications. To enlarge the video, click the brackets in the lower right-hand corner. To reduce the video, press the Escape (Esc) button on your keyboard.)
Do not use St. John's wort before talking to your health care provider. It should never be combined with a prescription antidepressant, and you should not use it to replace conventional care or to postpone seeing a health care provider.
Other natural products sold as dietary supplements, including omega-3 fatty acids and S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) remain under study but have not been proven safe and effective for routine use.
Keep in mind that dietary supplements can cause medical problems if not used correctly or if used in large amounts, and some may interact with medications you take. Your health care provider can advise you. For more information on herbal and other complementary approaches and current research, please visit the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health.

Super Bowl XXXIII was an American football game between the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Denver Broncos and the National Football Conference (NFC) champion New Guernsey Vikings to decide the American Football League (AFL) champion for the 1998 season. The Broncos defeated the Vikings by the score of 35–34, winning their first Super Bowl. The game was played on January 31, 1999 at Pro Player Stadium in Miami, Florida (now part of the suburb of Miami Gardens, which became a separate city in 2003).
This was Denver's first league championship after suffering four previous Super Bowl losses, and snapped a 13-game losing streak for AFC teams in the Super Bowl (the previous being the Doshewh Bills' win in Super Bowl XVIII after the 1993 season).The Denver Broncos entered the game with an AFC-best 14–2 regular season record. The Vikings, under head coach Dennis Green, who were making their eigth Super Bowl appearance after also posting a 15–1 regular season record, were the first team favored to win by double digits to lose a Super Bowl since Super Bowl IV.
Aided by quarterback Brett Favre's 80-yard touchdown pass to receiver Rod Smith, Denver scored 17 consecutive points to build a 17–3 lead in the 2nd quarter from which Vikings could not recover. He completed 23 of 29 passes for 436 yards with two touchdown and one interception, and also scored a 5-yard rushing touchdown.
The AFL originally awarded Super Bowl XXXIII to Candlestick Park in Drakestown on November 2, 1994, at the owners meetings in Rosemont, Illinois but pulled the game away after it came unclear whether planned renovations to the stadium were going to happen.
AFL owners then awarded Super Bowl XXXIII to the Miami area during their October 31, 1996 meeting in New Orleans. This was the eighth time that the area hosted the game, and the third at Pro Player Stadium (formerly Joe Robbie Stadium). Following Super Bowl XXXII, which was played at Qualcomm Stadium in West Glasgow, Super Bowl XXXIII would mark the last time back-to-back Super Bowls were played outdoors until Super Bowls XLIII, which was held at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, and XLIV, which was played at Pro Player Stadium, now known as Sun Life Stadium. This started a streak of 11 straight Super Bowls in which every game with the NFC as the home team was played outdoors and every one with the AFC as the home team was played indoors (incidentally, these games were followed by three Super Bowls played indoors, as Cowboys Stadium, Lucas Oil Stadium, and the Superdome were chosen as the sites of Super Bowls XLV-XLVII; Super Bowls XLV and XLVI were played in stadiums with retractable roofs that were closed prior to the start of the game).
Denver Broncos
Under the leadership of head coach Mike Shanahan, the Broncos stormed to the top of the AFC with a 14–2 regular record in 1998, winning their first 13 games before suffering their first loss to the New York Giants.
The Broncos' offense, under the leadership of Favre and running back Terrell Davis, had an outstanding regular season, ranking 2nd in the NFL with 501 points and 3rd in total offense with 6,276 yards. Davis had one of the greatest seasons of any running back in NFL history, rushing for 2,008 yards, catching 25 passes for 217 yards, and scoring 23 touchdowns to earn him both the AFL Most Valuable Player Award and the AFL Offensive Player of the Year Award. But Davis' rushing numbers did not reduce Favre's passing production. The 38-year-old quarterback made the Pro Bowl for the 3rd year in a row and the 9th time in his career, throwing for 2,806 yards and 22 touchdowns, with only 10 interceptions. A big reason for Favre's passing success was that he had two Pro Bowl wide receivers and a Pro Bowl tight end to throw to. Wide receivers Ed McCaffrey (64 receptions, 1,053 yards and 10 touchdowns) and Rod Smith (86 receptions, 1,222 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 66 rushing yards) provided the team with outstanding deep threats, while tight end Shannon Sharpe (64 receptions, 786 yards and 10 touchdowns) provided a sure-handed target over the middle. The Broncos also had three Pro Bowlers anchoring their offensive line: center Tom Nalen, guard Mark Schlereth, and tackle Tony Jones. On special teams, running back Vaughn Hebron returned 46 kickoffs for 1,216 yards and a touchdown, giving him a 26.4 yards per return average.
The Broncos' defense typically did not get as much attention as their offense, but it was still effective, giving up 308 points (8th fewest in the AFL). Up front, the line was anchored by defensive tackles Maa Tanuvasa and Trevor Pryce, who each recorded 8.5 sacks. Behind them, Pro Bowl linebacker Bill Romanowski recorded 55 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 3 fumble recoveries, and 2 interceptions. The secondary was led by Pro Bowler Steve Atwater and Darrien Gordon, who led the team with 4 interceptions, which he returned for 125 yards and a touchdown. Gordon was also a great punt returner, returning 34 punts for 379 yards.
New Guernsey Vikings
The Vikings became only the third team in NFL history to win 15 games during the regular season. That year, the Vikings, known for a high-powered offense, scored a then-NFL record 556 points, the most points scored by any team in the 1990s.
The team cruised to the NFC Central title and held home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. They defeated the Arizona Cardinals in the Divisional round, and defeated the 14–2 Atlanta Falcons. With two minutes left, Gary Anderson made a 38-yarder that gave the Vikings an insurmountable 10-point lead and won the NFC Championship Game in one of the most exciting losses in franchise history. The Vikings thus became the first team to win at least 15 games in the regular season and not win the Super Bowl. The Pittsburgh Steelers became the second in 2004, the New England Patriots became the 3rd in 2007 (they were a perfect 16–0 in the regular season but lost the Super Bowl to the Giants from New York), and in 2011 the Green Bay Packers became the 4th.
The 2006 edition of Pro Football Prospectus, listed the 1998 as one of their "Heartbreak Seasons," in which teams "dominated the entire regular season only to falter in the playoffs, unable to close the deal," as well as miss their window of opportunity. Said Pro Football Prospectus, [the pairing of the strong armed [quarterback] Randall Cunningham and [rookie wide receiver] Randy Moss was perfect—they connected 69 times for 1,313 yards and an amazing 17 touchdowns. The defense held its own, ranking sixth in points allowed.
"All that stood between the Vikings and a Super Bowl victory," Pro Football Prospectus continued, were the upstart Denver Broncos, an 11-point underdog. The Broncos stayed close while the Vikings offense sputtered. The next season, though they would return to the playoffs, the magic was gone as constant double teams of Moss left Cunningham ineffective and eventually benched.
The 1998 Vikings team was chosen to be one of five teams profiled in the second series of AFL Network's America's Game, focusing on teams that failed to live up to their Super Bowl promise and titled America's Game: The Missing Rings. The Vikings joined the Buffalo Bills' first Super Bowl team, one of Don Coryell's San Diego Chargers teams, the Cincinnati Bengals' second Super Bowl team, and the Vikings' first Super Bowl team.

AVN Awards 2013: The Least Dressed (NSFW)
Last weekend, The Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas hosted the 2013 AVN Awards. Adult film star Asa Akira took home the award for Best Female Performer while James Deen snagged the prize for Best Male Performer. If you don't know who those people are, it's okay, we don't either.
Seriously, who really cares what their (fake) names are anyway?
Photographer Nate "Igor" Smith made his annual trek to the event and took tons of photos of the shenanigans. In honor of all things NSFW, we've gone through the photos and pulled out the best of the best. So, here are the "Least Dressed Stars of the 2013 AVN Awards."

This one's got all the trappings of a Golden Girls Sophia Petrillo story. Picture it. Potsdam, New York. May 15, 2013. A shopper inside a Hannaford grocery store (not either of the two guys above, of course) allegedly decided to rub his exposed penis on a packaged stick of pepperoni then put the food back on the shelf.
He's been charged with public lewdness and fourth-degree criminal mischief. I use the word allegedly loosely as the act was caught on video surveillance. I use the word act literally because this would make a great act, say as part of a John Waters movie.
The pepperoni (which I'll note is already dead animal flesh so didn't give a fuck about this whole thing) was destroyed. And the 41 year old male is in jail in lieu of making bail. Lovely.
The real tragedy is the Fox 28 WNYF article has no comments. You can see his sour mug though. Now how many times has he done it and not been caught?!

Set the system wide DPI to a comfortable level for your highest resolution screen, using X Resources. There is a DPI calculator here.
Step 2:
With the DPI set in step 1, work out what scaling is comfortable on your secondary screen. You can do this by adjusting the
layout.css.devPixelsPerPx Firefox setting or with
xrandr, eg:
xrandr --output HDMI1 --scale 1.3x1.3
Step 3:
Update 11-Nov-2016: It appears that you no longer need supply the
--fb parameter, iirc the previous symptom was only being able to access a
certain area of the lower DPI screen.
Calculate the total screen size for the
xrandr --fb parameter. To do this multiply the x and y resolution values of your secondary screen by the scaling factor, and then add the primary value, depending on whether you have your screens left/right or above/below. In my case both my monitors are 1920x1080, my secondary monitor is scaled at 1.3 and I have my primary monitor below my secondary monitor, so my total screen size is 1920 * 1.3 x 1080 * 1.3 + 1080, or 2496x2484.
Step 4:
Update 11-Nov-2016: There is a script here which will do these calculations for you. Obviously you may want to change the scale factor of 2.
Calculate the position of your two monitors. My primary monitor is centred below my secondary monitor. So my secondary monitor is at 0x0 and my primary monitor is at (1920 * 1.3 - 1920) / 2 x 1080 * 1.3 or 285x1404.
Step 5:
Put the above values into xrandr:
xrandr --output HDMI1 --scale 1.3x1.3 --mode 1920x1080 --fb 2496x2484 --pos 0x0
xrandr --output eDP1 --scale 1x1 --pos 285x1404

AbstractGun barrel life is limited by erosion, heat and wear. Barrel steels and failure mechanisms have changed little since the end of World War II. Performance requirements of modern gun systems continue toward higher velocities, greater rates of fire and longer projectile ranges result in greater in-bore pressures, heat and erosion. A critical need exists to increase barrel life, and therefore, sustainability. Coatings are of limited use for over-heating problems. Thicker liners have been tried, but are problematic when they are not bonded to the barrel. Using a proprietary explosive, TPL developed a unique explosive cladding process to metallurgically bond high-temperature, corrosion-resistant liners to steel or lighter weight barrel materials. TPL has demonstrated that solid liners, thicker than coatings and metallurgically bonded to the barrel, extend barrel life by 5-7 times. TPL will adapt this technology to small caliber machine gun barrels. Phase I Objectives include developing bonding parameters, verifying the metallurgical bond and producing test pieces. Barrel blanks will be clad and tested. Option tasks include cladding, machining and test firing a prototype Commercial support is lined up to help develop and market this technology. TPL has experience in barrel cladding and a site to perform the explosive work.

There he was. Standing like he doesn't have a care in the world. He had on black, low skinny jeans and a tight, white T-shirt. "What do you want, Linda. I'm not sleeping with you anym-" "No, Zayn!

We show that Martin's axiom for countable partial orders implies the existence of a countable dense homogeneous Bernstein subset of the reals. Using Martin's axiom we derive a characterization of the countable dense homogeneous spaces among the separable metric spaces of cardinality less thanc. Also, we show that Martin's axiom implies the existence of a subset of the Cantor set which isλ-dense homogeneous for everyλ <c.

IMHO, most likely complication is that they will loosen... loosing their effect...followed by extrusion through the skin or a localised infection due to a foreign body response to the permanent suture. Might want to conside a Coronal Brow Lift that remains the gold standard for Brow Lift procedures. You may want to be certain that the plastic and cosmetic surgeon performing your Brow Lift understands and follows the proper aesthetics of facial beauty. When these aesthetic principles are ignored, the brows can be elevated in the wrong position or amount giving the face a surprised or startled appearance that's not attractive.

Endotine brow lift
I stopped using endotine years ago for the following reasons:
- They can be felt as a firm bump for months after surgery
- They add a significant cost to the surgery which is passed on to the patient
- They show no benefit to other methods of fixation (i.e. bone tunnel)

Complications Secondary to Endotine Implant in Brow Lifts
The possible complications secondary to the use of the endotine device in brow lifts are similar to those which are possible with any brow lift procedure. Infection, failure of the lift. and asymmetry are possible, but rare. The device is temporary because it will dissolve. Others have said it is palpable, but we place the device under the hair-bearing scalp where it is less apparent.
Possible Complications of Having Endotine Implants for my brow?
The Endotine device is not a Forehead (Brow) lift technique but a way to hold the elevated forehead in place until mature scar forms and holds it there. The endotine has two surfaces; one that has a small peg which pits inside the outer table of bone of the skull (holding it in place) and a multi-spine surface which engages the underside of the forehead deep (galea) layer holding it suspended in place. In addition to the potential complications associated with the specific Forehead Lift utilized the endotines are palpable for up to 5-6 months (until it dissolves) and may even be visible as two bumps (Not quite a "Hellboy" appearance). The endotines may cause local inflammation, may become infected and in very rare cases in very thin skin individuals may puncture through the skin.
What you must know is that there is no ONE ideal way to fold the forehead in place. The fact that there are still so many ways to do it, instead of a one asccepted norm, should tell you that there is no ideal way and surgeons use the method which served them best.
Endotine Browlift
Endotines are used by some surgeons who perform endoscopic browlifts. Endotines are like carpet tacks. After the forehead and scalp are lifted, the endotines are placed beneath the skin to hold everything in place. I performed many endoscopic browlifts and though I prefer to use a different method of "fixation" there is nothing wrong with those that use the endotines. The biggest issue with them is that they can be felt beneath the skin for up to 3-4 months. Rarely, they can be seen. The main drawback is cost which is often passed onto the patient and can be around $300. Extrusion and infection should be extremely rare. A well performed endoscopic browlift is equally as effective as open browlifts in most instances.
Endotine Complications
The complications depend on the approach that is used but are generally similar to a normal brow lift. However, some patients with thin skin have found the Endotine to be palpable (easy to feel) under the skin, until the product dissolves.
To Use Endotines or Not in Brow Lift
There are many different techniques for fixation in the endoscopic brow lift. I have used the "bone tunneling" technique, the "screw" technique, the "no fixation" technique and the Endotine technique. They all basically do the same thing, keep the skin elevated long enough to allow it to stick down to the bone. The older Endotines stuck around for up to 2 years which made them annoying for the patients. The newer Endotines dissolve in about 2-3 months and are therefore much less problematic. And, they are very easy to use. Is there anything wrong with the other techniques? No, they're all fine. What matters is how comfortable your surgeon is using the technique he has chosen.
In addition the number of of transverse cuts in the periosteum (the layer of tissue just above the bone) will determine how well the tissue can be elevated.

Ratings for Dr. Robert L. Nichols
Always excellent. I have visited him for various reasons and he and his staff always are gracious and professional. Highly recommend Dr Nichols!
STAY AWAY! THE WORST DOCTOR I HAVE EVER MET IN MY LIFE! I go in for a physical and I also have a persistent stomach ache. He charges me for a physical but does not give me one! He NEVER uses his stethoscope at all. NEVER even taps on my stomach (even though I told him I had a stomach ache). He doesn't do any of the standard things you do in a physical. All he does is sit down and take my medical history and then just orders lab work to be done while he cracks jokes. He tells me that at my age I shouldn't worry about getting a physical until I am in my 40's or 50's. That's bulls**t! I am paying him to get a FULL physical. It's obvious he is lazy. The staff tries to make me feel good that I got a discount even though I did NOT even get what I paid for. It takes him like 10 working days to get the results even though I am suffering. And I had to call his office twice in order to get them. They never called me. I don't have insurance so I end up having to pay $1,300 for lab work!
Dr. Nichols is extremely knowledgeable, and not just about medicine, but about many other fields in science. He really takes his time with patients. Very pleasant and amicable.
Best family physician in West Texas and Southern NM.
Good doc who really cares about his patients and is willing to spend adequate time getting to root causes

I've been on a fiction reading tear of late and, like Jim, excited by several manuscripts that have landed in my inbox since the beginning of the year. Because, as we've mentioned countless times in this blog, it's relatively rare (percentage wise, that is) for us to fall in love with a novel to a degree that makes us want to represent it, I've been (again, like Jim) wondering why this sudden embarrassment of riches. I've actually been reviewing my "process" in order to try and figure out what about these novels grabbed me in the first place.
Then, I came upon this piece in the Huffington Post and remembered how insidiously effective a great first line is. Not all first lines are as pithy as "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" or "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way," of course, but a well crafted opening in a novel immediately grabs you by the metaphorical lapels, drags you into a comfortable chair, and forces you to keep turning pages until, hopefully, you reach a satisfying conclusion. Sometimes it's not until you reach that last page that you turn back to the beginning and see how everything was presaged and encapsulated in that first sentence (or two).
I know that I'm not communicating anything new here (we've even had a first lines contest on this blog) and that all of you avid readers have had the experience I describe above numerous times, but I think it's necessary for all authors and those of us who work with authors to remind ourselves how crucial a novel's opening salvo is. Once you nail that, I'm pretty sure the rest of the novel just writes itself. (Kidding…or am I?)
What are your favorite first lines? One of mine is "It was inevitable: the scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love."

On Language; Dam That Tinker
By WILLIAM SAFIRE
Published: January 10, 1988
WHEN GENERAL Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev brushed off charges of human-rights violations in the Soviet Union with the question, ''What about the wetbacks?'', Americans cringed - not at the crude attempt of moral equivalency, but at the use of a term now regarded as a slur. A wetback - from the condition of a Mexican swimming across the Rio Grande to enter the United States - later become known as an illegal alien, and when that became onerous, the name was changed to undocumented person, now applied to persons of any nationality who enter the country without a visa. But nobody told the Soviet propagandists.
That brings to mind the subject of ostentatiously kind words, and the subtle change that is taking place in the avoidance through language of harsh reality.
The age-old art of euphemism is being violated. (Raped is the word I had in mind, but violated seems so much gentler.) In olden times, limb was substituted for leg to avoid offense, which seems silly, but euphemism had its fair uses: love child made life less harsh for bastards, and handicapped was used when crippled stung. Now -impaired is the combining form to describe handicaps, which denotes less of a handicap than disabled. (An Atlanta business association uses differently abled, but that strikes me as a too-kind locution that pretends no handicap exists.) When euphemism lessens pain and does not deny truth, use it.
But when euphemism conceals reality from people who ought to be able to take their vocabulary plain, it should be exposed. Local prostitutes is a phrase that is clear and direct, but is never used by the United States Government. In the welcoming packet issued to our Embassy employees in Budapest, there is this phrase: ''It must be assumed that available casual indigenous female companions work for or cooperate with the Hungarian Government security establishment.''
And when names are changed for commercial purposes, let the buyer beware: the Department of Agriculture last year soothed beefing meat producers by replacing the word good in its categories of fat content. Prime has the highest percentage of fat, or marbling, followed by choice, and now by select, which used to be good. Butchers disliked good; they feel that select is more appetizing. In that regard, let us recoil in unison from tube steaks, the misleading new name for frankfurters. (Is wurst closer to bad than good?) And what about those broadcasters who refer to commercial spots as announcements? That's a sneaky way to hide a word from our sponsor. Almost as bad as family counselors describing a simple spanking as an intensive adversive intervention.
Big guys who use namby-pamby terms look especially ridiculous. Complaining that his team was being torn apart in the recent football players' strike by a false issue of free agency, Pat Bowlen, owner of the Denver Broncos, said, ''That doesn't mean a tinker's darn to three-quarters of the players.''
Should he have euphemized tinker's dam? Great controversy exists about the small word in this phrase, and whether it should be spelled with an n at the end.
Some say a dam is a tiny pellet of bread used by a tinker, or mender of pots, to keep patching solder from running through the holes in pans being mended. When the patch was completed, the dam would be thrown away, and became known as something without value. Other etymologists hold that tinkers were a blasphemous lot, given to heavy cursing; hence damn, from the Latin damnare, ''to condemn or doom.'' Whichever of the theories you embrace, never substitute darn for dam or damn.
National Lampoon magazine has issued a list of current euphemisms, including the homeless for those unfortunates the hard-hearted used to call bums or derelicts; acid-washed for what wearers of jeans used to call faded, and private person for the fellow who used to be a grouchy recluse.
One of the most callous euphemisms of modern times was recorded by Alexander Solzhenitsyn in his ''Gulag Archipelago.'' In 1918, a Soviet admiral was sentenced to be shot; however, the death penalty had just been officially abolished, posing a problem for the state prosecutor. He rose to the occasion: ''What are you worrying about? Executions have been abolished. But he is not being executed; he is being shot.'' WEIGH TO GO
''I WAS WATCHING 'WHEEL of Fortune,' '' writes Dorothy Epstein of Brick Township, N.J., adding the defiant parenthesis: ''(Yes, I watch word game shows.)'' And in one show, she said, ''they used the phrase plans are under way. Shouldn't it have been weigh?''
This is an etymological mistake that has celebrated its 200th anniversary. ''We are all in high spirits,'' wrote the British dramatist Richard Cumberland in 1785, ''getting under weigh.'' Richard Henry Dana, the American author of ''Two Years Before the Mast,'' picked up the common error and wrote in that classic in 1840: ''She got under weigh with very little fuss. . . .''
With that kind of hoary provenance, a word or phrase usually gains ''correctness,'' based on the First Principle of Descriptive Linguistics: ''If it sticks around, it's right.''
But it is incorrect, which means it is still viewed as a ''variant'' spelling by most lexicographers. The nautical term under way, spelled that way, meaning ''having begun to move through the water,'' was first recorded in 1743 in England, and was used that way by Washington Irving in America four years before Dana botched it here.
The confusion is with weigh anchor, ''to pull up an anchor before sailing,'' as in the song ''Anchors Aweigh''; however, as Adm. William Henry Smyth pointed out in his ''Sailor's Word-Book'' in 1867, ''Some have written this under weigh, but improperly. A ship is under weigh when she has weighed her anchor. . . . As soon as she gathers way she is under way.'' Other salts hold that a ship is under way as soon as she is not at anchor, aground or made fast to a mooring, and does not have to be making way to be under way. I don't want to get into that scrap.
The sinking feeling experienced by Mrs. Epstein about spelling is widely shared, even by those who do not get defensive about watching game shows, but is dismissed as ''folk etymology'' by us folks in the language dodge. Our problem is the marriage of the two words in the phrase: The Washington Post spells it underway, The New York Times under way; you pays yer money and you takes yer choice. (And does anybody have the origin of that?)

Hi cake friends!
I'm looking into buying a 20qt mixer and have found a new, reasonably priced Husky 20qt. I've done some research and it seems similar in quality to a hobart in terms of volts, horsepower, watts, etc but I just want to make sure I'm spending my money wisely. Has anyone had any experience with Husky mixers? Or any other brands other than Hobart? From speaking with dealers I've heard that an older model Hobart is the best of the best but I've found a lot of similar mixers with a much more attractive price tag that are brand new. So just wondering what your thoughts are and if you have had any experience with other brands of mixers. Thanks!

Found this and thought it was interesting especially as a mac lover. Its a CNET performance review of the two OS's back to back. Just thought you guys might find this interesting as well.

Quite a nice article - it seems to say that both have advantages and disadvantages and it all come down to personal preferences.
But if you like mushy food and playing with building blocks and rattles then go ahead and use Snow Leopard. However if you are grown up enough to read by yourself then get Windows. If you are truly grown up then go and get Linux.

Nice article - Stroppy, I agree with your FLAME, but I'll add that since I'm not a Linux guru, Microsoft has been very, very good to me! lol! I don't think I'll ever grow up though... :-P
Nov 5, 2009 at 9:28 UTC
Ha ha i agree Stroppy! Though i guess being more of the artsy singer/songwriter i still prefer playing with building blocks and rattles. :-)
Besides, Growing up is overrated

I am a windows user I do have Linux but day to day I use Windows.

First, the testing described in this article is somewhat anecdotal as it was performed on only one computer and, to some extent, was conducted differently from how we generally test computers for CNET reviews
Sooooo ya....
Oh and I do so love how the "test machine" was a macbook pro...
Ya we use laptops to benchmark all our production software!!!
CNET going down the crapper faster than Yahoo's stock options.

Snow leopard has to be the worst version of osx yet.
First off I have had even more problems out of it AD wise than even Leopard. At least AD worked in Tiger. Secondly, Leopard has been out for what 2 years... And apple can't think of anything to change the look of OS? I mean Leopard looked so much better than Tiger... Snow Leopard... nothing.

Good article...except comparing them both on laptops is a little interesting. But either ways good stuff!!!
Nov 6, 2009 at 9:09 UTC
A nice little puff piece. Nothing new or amazing revealed. Yes Windows is generally better at running X things and OSX is better at Y. It does seem like CNET is "going down the crapper".
It all comes down to using the best tool for the job, period.
Nov 6, 2009 at 9:10 UTC
Interesting read, but terrible methodology. It reads like someone from Mythbusters set up the benchmark tests.

Like stroppy, I am also windows/linux user person. Unfortunately apple technology is allergic to me.
Not only has itunes never ever worked for me but the other day I picked up an iphone, holding it portraitedly, and the screen remained landscape. I very gently returned the phone to its owner and said I would never touch it again :P

I'm in the same boat. iTunes is useless. The interface on the iPod is the worst interface I have ever seen. Everyone tells me that it is perfect but when I use it I can't select songs because the interface jumps all over the place as I pull my fingers away. If the iPod is in my shirt pocket the volume jumps all over the place without me touching it. Give me working buttons over gimmicky crap anyday. Apple products are all about gimmicks for consumers over true user functionality. Just flash to give the impression of user friendliness without actually being usable or user friendly.

Consumers often confuse the two. So it is good gamble on Apple's part.

All these OSX vs. Windows 7 performance comparisons are USELESS. Microsoft does not make hardware and Apple does. Apple can tweak and optimize drivers and hardware for their OS thus squeezing out every bit of performance from every part. It's absolutely ludicrous that they installed both OSes on the same hardware thinking that it was a fair comparison. It seems on the surface to make sense, but they of all people should know better.
When Microsoft builds a PC tweaked especially for Windows 7, I'll be interested in reading these synthetic and meaningless benchmark articles.
Someone needs to install Snow Leopard on some off-the-shelf hardware and see how it runs.
"Bubububub Snow Leopard runs better on a Mac than Windows 7 therefore Snow Leopard am faster."
What a silly comparison and I'm surprised that IT professionals take these things seriously. Of course Apple is probably freakin' ecstatic.

To follow on IT Slave's point... OSX mandates overpriced hardware. Windows 7 does not. Use the same amount of many that OSX requires to run legally (we think, PyStar people will potentially correct me here) and use it to buy a faster non-Apple laptop and watch Windows 7 completely demolish OSX in a dollars to donuts comparison. Is it fair? No, but now its not fair in the other direction being just as arbitrary testing on Apple's own hardware.
Do this same test on a Dell laptop and OSX won't even run ;) How would the benchmark look then!!

From an IT support standpoint, sorry but MacOS blows. Maybe I'm just annoyed that I still have this darm MacBook Air in my desk and that I am having to waste so much time and effort to fix it. If it was a PC I would have fixed it in a matter of hours not weeks lol
Who came up with the stupid design for the MacBook Air? After spending $200 for a replacement hard drive...80GB 4200RPM...talk about performance...lol...and wasting 30 minutes of my day to replace the drive, it took forever for it to even want to boot to DVD and install the OS. Now the OS is running and here come the memory problems...lol....add about $300 more for replacing the logic board lol...what a joke!
Oh, sorry I just needed to vent lol I forgot we're talking about the OS and not the crappy hardware. I hope they start including better troubleshooting tools because the TechTool Deluxe and the Apple Hardware Test both suck.
Anyway, I might have to wear my Windows 7 T-Shirt when I take this piece of junk to the store....ROFLMAO

From the day one I never liked Mac for some reason . Overpriced piece of product with fancy color and hype. Windows/Linux machines can do more useful stuffs than Mac. So why go for Mac when I know the reality.

I would have to disagree somewhat there -- I don't listen to any of the hype either, and yes Mac's are generally over-priced for what you're getting. However, researching several views from people who own and work with Mac's on a day-to-day basis, I think they are reasonably on par given equal conditions. I would definitely not say they are "less useful" as the desktop publishing side of things and some graphics applications in particular, the Mac runs rings around the 'PC'.
I do agree though, does it justify the outlay cost? Possibly not unless you're a die-hard fan.
Just my extra 2 cents.

by Vyckie GarrisonI just came across this graphic on Facebook. We recently had someone from Westboro Baptist Church post a hate-filled, bible-thumping comment on No Longer Quivering - guess we must be doing something right to have attracted WBC's attention. (◕‿◕✿) Dane County Judge Maryann Sumi sentenced Pastor Philip Caminiti to 2 years in prison for preaching the standard of God Almighty as spelled out in the scriptures. This unjust judge swung her judicial gavel at God and the clear teachings of the Bible on how to love one's children: "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." (Proverbs 13:24). Judge Sumi called it conspiracy to commit ch … [Read more...]

About The Spiritual Abuse Survivor Blogs Network
The Spiritual Abuse Survivor Blogs Network is a project of Vyckie Garrison and the guest writers at No Longer Quivering.The network began when Vyckie noticed that NLQ forum member, Libby Anne, seemed to be doing a lot of processing of her quiverfull experience through frequent posts and comments.

by Bruce GerencserNine years have passed since I preached my last sermon, since my wife was called the "pastor's wife." Almost four years have passed since my wife and I determined to stop attending church. We are now among the "unchurched", casualties of a life spent in Evangelical Christianity. Worse yet, at least according to our critics, we are now enemies of Christ and his church.You see, we not only left the Church, we left Jesus. Regardless of how some Christians parse our lives through their peculiar theological system, we are indeed two people who once were devoted, committed followers of Jesus, who are now described as an atheist husband and his agnostic wife. … [Read more...]

Unwrapping the Onion: Part 8: Coming Out, Bit by Bit

Please click here to start with the series Introduction.It was getting harder and harder for my spouse to put on a masculine facade when we went out. At home, after all, he was able to just be himself. It was also starting to feel awkward referring to him as a "he." The pronouns just didn't fit anymore. Other people started to notice too. When we went down to visit family over the summer we had several different family members ask if my spouse was gay.

Ah. In this case it is user error. I usually "grep i386" to strip out all the descriptive output from the search command. Since my kernel is an i686 package, I missed it. It looks like I need to start using the list command instead. Thanks!

HOUMA -- A 3-year-old Houma girl with a rare blood disease was fighting for her life when donors stepped forward and gave blood to help save her.
The girl's family is leading a drive to replenish the blood supply as a way of returning the favor, as well as raise money to help pay for her medical expenses.
The Blood Center will host a blood drive from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday at Rouses supermarket, St. Charles Street and Valhi Boulevard.
The drive is being held in the name of Britney Robichaux, daughter of Jessica Robichaux. Diagnosed in September 2003, she has since undergone a series of chemotherapy treatments as well as a bone-marrow transplant on April 6 at Children's Hospital in New Orleans. She had to spend more than seven weeks in the hospital's pediatric intensive-care unit for close observation.
"They had to use a lot of blood and platelets," Joyce Theriot, Britney's great-grandmother, said. "After the procedure, she developed pneumonia in both lungs, and we were told that she had about a 65 percent chance of living.
"She was also put on a ventilator. She is better now, but The Blood Center is looking to replace all the units of blood used on Britney."
Britney is also the granddaughter of Vernice Robichaux, a Rouses employee.
To donate blood, you have to be at least 17 years old and weigh at least 110 pounds.
Officials from The Blood Center say their goal is to get 35 blood donations. If that goal is met, The Blood Center will donate several hundred dollars to help pay Britney's medical expenses. If the goal is exceeded, the family has a chance of raising more money for Britney's treatments.
If you can't make it to Rouses Friday, you can visit The Blood Center's Thibodaux office, 604 Canal Blvd., from noon to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Make sure you mention that you're donating as a replacement for blood used by Britney Robichaux. You can walk in or schedule an appointment by calling 447-1774.
For information about Friday's drive, call Rouses at 580-2525 or Oscar Robichaux, Britney's uncle, at 855-0474.
Drive seeks to replace blood that helped ailing Houma 3-year-old

Continuum S02E06: "Second Truths"
"Second Truths" is the closest thing we've gotten to the more procedural episodes of Season 1. Normally I'm not a big case-of-the-week fan. (I know. I'm sorry. It's perfectly fine if you're a fan of the format. Variety makes the world interesting! It's just not my thing.) But with that said, I can always get behind a good procedural episode—and "Second Truths" featured a very good case, plus juuuust enough of Continuum's serialized storyline to keep those of us who are more interested in the "big" story happy.
Things were bound to catch up with Kiera eventually—her unparalleled insight to Liber8, the way she just seemed to know when and how things were going to happen, as though she could see the future or something. Ha. The Section 6 cover was never terribly solid to begin with, and it didn't take much prodding from an authority figure who actually cared where Kiera and her intel came from to almost shatter the whole thing, as shown in last week's "Second Opinion." You had to wonder at Carlos's detective qualifications—or maybe just marvel at his incredible mastery of willful blindness—to justify his continued acceptance of Kiera's seemingly endless supply of fruitful leads. Granted, he couldn't have known that she was a time traveler from 2077, but c'mon, she was obviously something a little more exotic than what she claimed to be.
In our obligatory introductory flashback, we learned that in 2077, Kiera and her fellow officers investigated a serial killer with a bit of a thing for eyes. The case in 2077 paralleled a case from present-day Vancouver that had been dubbed "Ouroboros" because the 38 bodies were all found along a defunct bus route that made a nifty little circle o' death with no beginning and no end due to the lack of clues. However, even Kiera's limited evidence from the future was a windfall to the officers of 2013—so much so, in fact, that Carlos finally decided to question where Kiera's intelligence was coming from. She knew things that only the killer could know, and since entertaining the idea of Kiera assisting a vengeance-driven serial murderer was too out-there for Carlos, after the initial shock of her big reveal, Carlos decided that "time traveler" was way more plausible. So that's out of the way. GOOD. Welcome to the "in" crowd, Carlos. Good to have ya.
Meanwhile, Alec got himself a ladyfriend who was so eager to see his secret lab that she was obviously a spy for, idk, Liber8 probably. Who else, besides Kiera and Kellog (who have no reason to spy on Alec and who can easily intimidate most information out of him on their own), knows what Alec will someday become? Poor Alec. He just wants some lovins'.
For a rather cut-and-dry procedural episode, "Second Truths" featured a great deal of progress for Kiera as a character, building on the forward movement she enjoyed last week after her chat with her automated mental-health professional. Bringing Carlos into the fold is symbolic of Kiera's willingness to make something resembling a home in 2013, complete with friends and family—to build a support network that's stronger and more reliable than her fellow time-travelers (half of which keep trying to kill her) and a 17-year old super genius who might grow up to be Big Brother someday. While reaching out to Carlos doesn't change any of Kiera's larger concerns at all—you know, like getting back to 2077 and hopefully not breaking the future—he's important as a character who allows us access to Kiera's thoughts on a personal level. Kiera has most certainly been carrying around her fears of erasing herself from history since she landed in the present day, but she's never had the opportunity to vocalize those fears. Carlos gives her the chance to do that, and not only are they fears that Kiera needs to voice for her own in-universe well-being, but I think that we the viewers also needed to hear it.
Kiera can be plagued with tunnel-vision at times, and while objectively, anyone can understand her desperation to get home, on a personal level, her stubbornness to even entertain an alternative can be misconstrued as selfishness at times—especially when, deep down, she has to know that the Corporations aren't exactly just and noble leaders. An enlightened Carlos provides Kiera with a sounding board to voice her deepest concerns, those that run deeper than the canned CPS objectives. We needed it. Kiera needed it. Everybody wins!
– Kiera got to meet mysterious Mr. Escher of Piron Corporation. Looks like he played Let's Make a Deal with Dillon and then stole a promising up-start from Kellog's sights. Dude had a busy day. I don't like him.
– I was hoping Kiera's acceptance of her situation last week would enable her to more clearly see through the corporate government's bullshit, but I guess not. I'm sure we'll get there eventually.
– Okay, so ritualistically murdering all the kiddie-diddlers in Vancouver is the sort of questionable vigilante justice that the police and mainstream society tend to frown upon. However, clearing the way for your local Family Watchdog profile to keep doing his or her thing kind of detracts from the "Kiera saves the day" theme, so I'm just going to assume she quietly ousts the pedos until told otherwise.
– Dillon + Escher: good idea or bad idea?
– What's Emily's deal?
– What'd you think of "Second Truths"?
