Vanu Sovereignty
New Conglomerate

Played a bit more yesterday, finally got myself a MAX, shot down a couple gunships, got blown up by three tanks driving over a ridge and all firing at me at once. It was fun.
But the most fun part of that game to me so far is sniping. And I'm not talking about planting my ass down on a high perch and waiting for people to show up, that part is boring. I really enjoyed hunting the other team's snipers down as an Infiltrator. Stealthing around, marking targets, climbing through the mountains to find their perches, then trying desperately to kill them before they notice me shooting and pop my head off in one shot since I'm TR and the default sniper rifle kinda sucks... good times.
Sure, I'm probably not earning many certs or helping my team a whole lot hunting snipers, but at least I'm having fun and annoying the other team. My reflexes suck, so it's not like I'm very useful up-close either.
See that green flowery circle over there? Stand on it. No, don't run away from it! C'mon!
anyone elses game broken after update? I just get a black screen and some wierd UI elements flickering on the screen, followed by a crash.
it seems to be only available at certain stations, like the bigger tank variant ;yoy might have to bown a certain point or just spawn at a larger station where it's available. though i think ps2 could have benifited from a breakdown about it's system as sometimes it feels you're just supposed t learn the games systems through trial and error.
another shooter i suck at im not sure why they keep releasing them as its the same ol shoot me shoot you thing plus it kinda reminds me of a mag+battlefield combination
ive only just started and still finding a class i like so i dont waste my certs on a class i hate.
i tend to go for the anti tank class with a rocket launcher but the combat medic and engineer are more my style as im useless at killing people so i stick to keeping people alive or vehicles alive
---------- Post added 2012-11-22 at 11:53 AM ----------
after i installed it i played for bout an hour then it froze and crashed then it wouldnt launch..
Certs seem slow for me as a Inf, I have around 60 total. I played about 12 hours total. Maybe I have been in the wrong places at the wrong times, but I'm rank 6 or 7. Or I'm just not killing enough people as a sniper...

I have 11 hours played with a total of 321 certs acquired but I am also BR 13. You won't be getting a lot of points as an inf, just make sure to run with your squad. You can hit insert when you first get in the game for a random squad and then you can hit insert again to deploy on top of the squad leader. That will get you into a nice convoy.
You get certs by capturing stations/outposts and you also get certs for getting medals. Medals are earned from getting a certain amount of kills for a weapon. You get certs from leveling up as well.

I'm unable to buy station cash, and I'm not even given a proper explanation on WHY, I just get an error telling me there was an error.
If it won't work, I'm gonna be pretty freaking angry about it, because getting new weapons will be a massive pain. And I want to buy some camo and a helmet.
I was getting a undescriptive 'there has been an error' error last night when trying to buy some things (already had the station cash), tried again ~2 hours later and it worked, seemed like the shop had just had a brain fart as nothing would process. Could be related, I'd suggest trying again every 20-30 mins.

I am a bit upset it runs so badly on my comp I know my cpus arent great and thats where it tanks, but I have a 6970, its a shame it doesnt use that at all. I play most games on max settings with no problems, but even on lowest settings im around 10-20 in ps2, apart from the ice planet which seems fine. I hope they optimise for GPUs in the future or I wont be able to play for a long time, didnt plan to update my computer for another year or so, as I have run everything at 50+ fps so far on high gfx

Advertisement Internet games, gambling and other forms of online entertainment have seen significant surges in use in the several months since the economic downturn deepened. Social-networking services like Facebook, blogs and discussion forums — all well-known time sinks even during good times — are also seeing strong growth. Some purveyors of online entertainment say business has never been so good for them.I'm kind of sad that the example they use is someone who's resorted to Big Fish Games. I don't mind so much that they're only pointing to an increase in casual game consumption, but I think it'd be more of a statement for someone to turn to World of Warcraft in their jobless state.

Thank you for your feedback and support for our service
(Aotea News, December 2009)
By Vicki McKnight, Quality and Safety Manager
Our recent referrer survey has found that 97 percent of practitioner respondents rate Wellington SCL's overall service as very good or excellent.
This compares with 87 percent in 2008 and 74 percent in 2007.
Coincidentally, it is also the same as our patient survey where 97 percent of patient respondents gave Wellington SCL's overall service a rating of very good or excellent.
It's a very strong result and one that we will be working hard to achieve again in 2010.
We are also looking carefully at the suggestions you made for improvements to our service. And, as a first step, you will find with this newsletter stickers with easy contact details for:
- pathologists
- house-calls
- results
- the laboratory
Thank you to all who returned the survey and for your valuable feedback. As a small gift for your efforts we offered 20 copies of the "Handbook for the Interpretation of Laboratory Tests (4th edition)" .

Time for my candle.
I have been through a lot in my life. I was a soldier in the Army for 20yrs. I was the Jewish Lay Leader at Every post. My first post was Ft.Drum, in up state N.Y. and I found a tutor named Rabbi Murray Staudmauer. He took my 17 year old wide Jewish eyes a day educated me. He followed the teachings of the Rebbe. I have drifted away from my Jewishness, and my family as well. In honor of the greatest men in my life, Rabbi Staudmauer and the Rebbe, this Shabbat we will Kindle the Shabbat Flame.

Photographer's Note
This photo is in Didimotiho (meaning double wall) and it is a city next to the Greek - Turkish borders. The main goverment of Athens forget all the time those people there, that they live in a time capsule. You can see a young priest here from Athens, guiding us to the treasures of that town.

Hi Nikos,
Beautiful image, it looks almost like a painting with its classical composition of the priest and the tower. Your use of depth of field here is really spectacular too, creating an excellent sense of place in the scene, I feel like I am actually here with you when you took this! The path leads perfectly into the shot too. Really excellent photo, thanks for sharing.
All the best

Hi Nikos,
excellent composition, well managed with the focus on the priest, interesting result, good big format.

Kalispera Nikos,
i like your POV and the choice of the depth of field, the colors are intense but very natural. Good sharpness, the subject is very clear and gives dynamism to the scene.
Well done.
Ciao, Alex

The book is primarily written in second person accounts. The author had the opportunity to meet Rees Howells and family members to hear the stories first hand. There are portions of the book presented in first person accounts by Rees Howells himself and on the occasion other people directly relaying events. There are also some third person accounts where testimonies were retold. The author also shares in the Foreword the names of people who provided details and information relayed in the book. The credentials of everyone involved prove the reliability of the information presented.
Most of the book is an account of the life events of Rees Howells. There are testimonies from the lives of other individuals but they are told in the context of how they affected Rees' life. It is written in past tense with the majority of writing being in story form with some dialogue...

You are hereForums / General Discussion / General Chat / Welcome
Hi guys. I have been away researching in Wales for the last week but I would like to welcome all our newest members to the website and thank you all for posting on the forum. It may take me a while to get up to date with the posts and that will have to wait until I am more sober :).
Whatcha been researching (other than Welsh hostelries)?
Research: This is Ian's Euphemism for spending the week in as many Welsh pubs as possible - preferably haunted of course. :-) I could make a joke about spirits, however.....Did you get any good photos Ian?
Dan, you know me so well :) Yes I got loads of photographs..........of haunted pubs :). I have been collecting stories and histories from around Snowdonia but I was ventured out into Powys, Shropshire and got to visit some of my favourite locations like Devils Bridge. I'll be sticking a few bits and pieces up each week.
I love this site. However it has made me realise how little I know. Not being from Britain doesn't help though.
Wow,how do I get a job like yours? Sounds great.
Speaking of haunted pubs, I heard a while back that The Bear Inn at Bisley, Gloucester had a couple of stories attached to it. I don't know any details and there's nothing on their website sadly, so it could just be hear-say. Still, here's the link if you're interested, http://www.bisleybear.co.uk/content/view/22/44/
Hi Someonestoleshell, I wish this was my day job :) Maybe one day I will be able to do this full time. Maybe make the site into a book.
Thanks for the heads up about the Bisley Bear, I'll see what I can find out. This website is an ever growing database, I doubt we'll ever get every ghost, UFO, legend etc on the site, but we'll keep trying.
You should make a CDrom like the Megalithic Portal site has. Searchable database, pic and maps where appropriate. They charge less for people upgrading to the latest version.
Hi Seannachaidh, welcome to Mysterious Britain & Ireland and thank you for posting. A CDrom is a good idea and one I think look into more closely. It would make a great addition to a book as well.

The Effect Of Technology Use On Productivity Growth
This paper examines the relationship between the use of advanced technologies and productivity and productivity growth rates. We use data from the 1993 and 1988 Survey of Manufacturing Technology (SMT) to examine the use of advanced (computer based) technologies at two different points in time. We also are able to combine the survey data with the Longitudinal Research Database (LRD) to examine the relationships between plant performance, plant characteristics, and the use of advanced technologies. In addition, a subset of these plants were surveyed in both years, enabling us to directly associate changes in technology use with changes in plant productivity performance. The main findings of the study are as follows. First, diffusion is not the same across the surveyed technologies. Second, the adoption process is not smooth: plants added and dropped technologies over the six-year interval 1988-93. In fact, the average plant showed a gross change of roughly four technologies in achieving an average net increase of less than one new technology. In this regard, technology appears to be an experience good: plants experiment with particular technologies before deciding to add additional units or drop the technology entirely. We find that establishments that use advanced technologies exhibit higher productivity. This relationship is observed in both 1988 and 1993 even after accounting for other important factors associated with productivity: size, age, capital intensity, labor skill mix, and other controls for plant characteristics such as industry and region. In addition, the relationship between productivity and advanced technology use is observed both in the extent of technologies used and the intensity of their use. Finally, while there is some evidence that the use of advanced technologies is positively related to improved productivity performance, the data suggest that the dominant explanation for the observed cross-section relationship is that good performers are more likely to use advanced technologies than poorly performing operations.

But that treatment won't begin until after Smith gets to play in today's game against the Colts. Mort's story does not say whether Smith agreed with that consensus, perhaps on the condition that he be permitted to play today. Either way, neither the Niners nor the league could force Smith to sit out today's game. League officials told Mort the Niners cannot suspend Smith under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement. Roger Goodell likewise won't immediately suspend Smith because his DUI case has not been adjudicated. Advertisement Advertisement [ESPN] Photo: Associated Press Reply11 repliesLeave a reply

To Speak or Not to Speak: What Philosophers Have to Say About the Day's Top Stories By Josh Nilaya • Nov 11, 2015 Lawrence OP / Flickr Listen Listening... / 49:13 According to Yale Philosophy Professor Shelly Kagan, many of today's political issues are actually philosophical ones. Kagan says no one ever asks philosophers to weigh in. Wouldn't a deeper understanding of the day's news -- including why people think what they think and hold the positions they hold -- be beneficial? One reason for the lack of philosophical commentary in the media might be the relatively short attention spans many Americans have for absorbing information. Who has time for philosophy? And are political debates real outlets for philosophical argument?

Research Says Walk A Few Blocks, Wait A Few Minutes By Alina Selyukh • Oct 29, 2015 Uber has shaken up what it takes to get from point A to point B in cities across the country with a simple premise: If you need a ride, a driver nearby could pick you up within minutes. Behind that idea is an algorithm, which promises to keep supply and demand in constant balance, encouraging drivers toward busy areas and tempering customer requests by increasing the price of each ride. It's called surge pricing. Emissions Scandal Is Hurting VW Owners Trying To Resell By editor • Oct 26, 2015 Volkswagen admitted it intentionally cheated on federal emissions tests. The German automaker now faces billions of dollars in fines and litigation, plus the cost of fixing some 11 million diesel cars worldwide. That's just the company.

A Conversation About Russia, the Cold War, and Espionage With a Once Aspiring Spy By Josh Nilaya • Oct 7, 2015 alphaville / Flickr Listen Listening... / 40:54 Justin Lifflander wanted nothing more than to become a spy for the CIA. Growing up during the Cold War, he practiced spying on friends, family, and schoolmates in preparation for what he thought would be a career full of high-tech gadgetry and secret rendezvous. When Lifflander was finally assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow in 1987, he thought his dream was coming true. What followed was something Lifflander could never have predicted. He was a mechanic at the embassy, then an inspector of Soviet missile sights, and then a suspected American agent followed at every turn by the KGB. Lifflander found himself living in a world which very much resembled his childhood dream -- but he was never a spy.

Starting this week, the "Buzz" is about Nick Lachey.
The 98 Degrees music veteran and host of NBC's "The Sing-Off" gets a weekday television slot when he starts presiding over the VH1 program "Big Morning Buzz Live" Monday, March 3. The show's mix of interviews, performances and lifestyle segments strikes Lachey as a good fit … to the degree he's relocating back to New York with wife Vanessa ("Dads") and their 1-year-old son for the gig.
"I've always enjoyed the rush of live TV," the pleasant Lachey tells Zap2it. "There's that element of never knowing what's going to happen and having to roll with the punches spontaneously, and you just can't really get that energy anywhere else."
Conversely, Lachey knows "if you take that live mentality and put it into a taped show, and something happens in a great way, you've got it captured. But when it's live, the audience knows they're getting it as it happens, and there's an excitement and a freshness."
Lachey has a resource close at hand: His wife has been a host of pageants and such programs as "Total Request Live" and — for one season – "Wipeout," plus an "Entertainment Tonight" correspondent.
"She's a pro," he says. "Coincidentally, she did 'TRL' in the same studio where we're doing 'Big Morning Buzz,' so it's kind of a full-circle moment for us. She's someone I lean on quite a bit for advice."
Being a talk show guest also has given Lachey a certain amount of prep. "It'll be a challenge for me to sit in the other seat," he allows, "but I hope I bring a sensibility, having been interviewed, of knowing what kind of interaction feels good and what works."
"Big Morning Buzz" isn't Lachey's first association with VH1. Besides his music being played there, he's involved in its Save the Music Foundation, which advocates for continuing music education in schools.
"I think VH1 has evolved," he reflects. "It started out as a music channel, but over the years, it's expanded to represent all of pop culture. That's certainly what we're going to focus on on 'Big Morning Buzz.' "

Production on Season 5 of "The Walking Dead" has begun and it promises to be one of the most horrifying yet. A new video from AMC shows the cast returning to the set, surprised by just how far the writers are willing to go.
"This episode is so disturbing," Lauren Cohan says. "I mean, some of the stuff they shot yesterday … I don't know if it'll make it to TV." Andrew Lincoln adds, "It's the most ambitious first episode I think we've ever attempted."
The crew promises more blood, more action and more zombies, which is a definite recipe for success. "The Walking Dead" returns to AMC in October.

WASHINGTON -- The United States on Thursday accused Syria of deliberately delaying the surrender of its chemical weapons stockpiles and jeopardizing a tightly timed and costly international removal and destruction operation that narrowly averted U.S. airstrikes last year.
It was the first formal accusation that Syria was not cooperating with the terms of its disarmament after months in which international diplomats and chemical weapons experts marveled at the speed with which the process was being carried out. The public denunciation, however, closely tracked concerns that independent experts have expressed privately in recent weeks about the operation's pace.
The failure of Syria to meet the terms of the agreement would pose a potentially embarrassing problem for the Obama administration and Russia, which sponsored the removal effort as a way to head off U.S. military action in response to an Aug. 21 sarin gas attack near Damascus widely blamed on President Bashar Assad's government.
A senior State Department official said that while the U.S. threat of force remains in place, "it's also fair to say we're not looking to rush into an open-ended conflict in Syria." The official requested anonymity because of the issue's sensitivity.
Most chemical weapons experts agree that Syria's ability to manufacture and deploy the banned weapons was destroyed last year. But subsequent requirements to remove and neutralize Syria's stockpile of chemicals used to make the weapons "has seriously languished and stalled," Robert Mikulak, head of the U.S. delegation to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, told the OPCW executive council in the Dutch city of The Hague.
Syria has sent to its main port in Latakia for shipment abroad only 4 percent of the most critical components of the 1,433 tons of chemical weapons it declared to the OPCW and the United Nations, Mr. Mikulak said, according to a transcript of his remarks the State Department distributed. Moreover, he said, Syria didn't begin shipping the substances to the Mediterranean coast until after Dec. 31, the deadline by which all of Syria's most critical chemical weapons components were to have been removed.
"Today, we are one month past the 31 December completion date set by the [OPCW executive] council. Almost none of the Priority One chemicals have been removed, and the Syrian government will not commit to a specific schedule for removal," said Mr. Mikulak, adding that a Feb. 5 deadline for shipping out the next category of substances won't be met either.
He rejected Syria's assertions that the delays are because of security problems and a need for donations of additional equipment, including armored jackets for shipping containers and explosives detectors. "These demands are without merit and display a 'bargaining mentality,' rather than a security mentality," said Mr. Mikulak, an apparent reference to concerns that Syria is tying the removal operation's pace to progress in Geneva peace talks with U.S.-backed moderate opposition factions.
"Syria's requests for equipment and open-ended delaying of the removal operation could ultimately jeopardize the carefully timed and coordinated multi-state removal and destruction effort," Mr. Mikulak said. "The international community is ready to go, and the international operation to remove the chemicals is fully in place and ready to proceed once Syria fulfills its obligation to transport the chemicals to Latakia."
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Thursday that he had called his Russian counterpart, Sergei Shogun, and asked him to "do what he could to influence the Syrian government to comply with the agreement that has been made." During a visit to Poland, Mr. Hagel said, "The United States is concerned that the Syrian government is behind in delivering these chemical weapons precursor materials on time."
The operation's delay could prove embarrassing for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is one of Assad's main backers in the civil war, and who put his personal prestige behind the deal by first proposing it formally.
It also could create a new diplomatic headache for Mr. Obama, who cited the removal operation as a diplomatic achievement in his State of the Union address Tuesday. "American diplomacy, backed by the threat of force, is why Syria's chemical weapons are being eliminated," he told the nation.
Mr. Obama has sought to limit U.S. involvement in the civil war pitting Assad's government against mostly Islamist rebels dominated by Syria's Sunni Muslim majority. But he hasn't taken off the table his threat to launch airstrikes if Assad reneges on his agreement to surrender all of his chemical weapons.
An estimated 130,000 people have been killed and 8 million driven from their homes in the nearly three years of war, which began in March 2011 as demonstrations against some 40 years of Assad family rule.
Under the agreement being overseen by the OPCW and the United Nations, Syria must transport the chemical components of its stockpiles of sarin, VX and other nerve agents to Latakia, where they are to be shipped to Italy. From there, some are to be taken for disposal at sea by a U.S. military ship, while the rest are to go to commercial disposal facilities in Europe.

42-pounder Gun Of 1786
Content Description:
The French seventy-four gun ship Hoche originally carried this gun. She was captured by the English, who sold the battery to the United States. This gun served for a time on a Haytian privateer and was then returned to New York until the War of 1812. During the war, it was mounted on the privateer General Armstrong. While at Fayat, Azores, on September 28, 1814, the General Armstrong repulsed a boat attack by the English squadron with severe loss to the enemy. Later, it was necessary to sink the ship to avoid capture. Some years later this gun was recovered and presented to the United Stated by the Portuguese government.

OpinionThe new international economic disorder Though many lamented the extent of Western domination of the global economic system, is the emerging system any better? 24 Dec 2011 10:57 GMT By Mohamed A El-Erian Mohamed A. El-Erian is CEO and co-CIO of global investment management firm PIMCO, and author of When Markets Collide. Story highlightsNEWPORT BEACH - A new economic order is taking shape before our eyes, and it is one that includes accelerated convergence between the old Western powers and the emerging world's major new players. But the forces driving this convergence have little to do with what generations of economists envisaged when they pointed out the inadequacy of the old order; and these forces' implications may be equally unsettling.For decades, many people lamented the extent to which the West dominated the global economic system. From the governance of multilateral organisations to the design of financial services, the global infrastructure was seen as favouring Western interests. While there was much talk of reform, Western countries repeatedly countered serious efforts that would result in meaningful erosion of their entitlements. Is the emerging new economic order going to be better than the old system? [GALLO/GETTY] NEWPORT BEACH - A new economic order is taking shape before our eyes, and it is one that includes accelerated convergence between the old Western powers and the emerging world's major new players. But the forces driving this convergence have little to do with what generations of economists envisaged when they pointed out the inadequacy of the old order; and these forces' implications may be equally unsettling.For decades, many people lamented the extent to which the West dominated the global economic system. From the governance of multilateral organisations to the design of financial services, the global infrastructure was seen as favouring Western interests. While there was much talk of reform, Western countries repeatedly countered serious efforts that would result in meaningful erosion of their entitlements. On the few occasions that such resistance was seemingly overcome, the outcome was gradual and timid change. Consequently, many emerging-market economies lost confidence in the "pooled insurance" that the global system supposedly put at their disposal, especially at times of great need.This change in sentiment was catalysed by the financial crises in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and by what many in these regions regarded as the West's inadequate and poorly designed responses. With their trust in bilateral assistance and multilateral institutions such as the International Monetary Fund shaken, emerging-market economies - led by those in Asia - embarked on a sustained drive toward greater financial self-reliance.Once they succeeded in overcoming a painful crisis-management phase, many of these countries accumulated previously unthinkable levels of international reserves as precautionary cushions. They extinguished billions in external indebtedness by generating and sustaining large current-account surpluses. And they increased the scale and scope of domestic financial intermediation in order to reduce their vulnerability to external storms.These developments stood in stark contrast to what was happening in the West. There, unprecedented leverage, massive debt creation and a seemingly infinite sense of credit entitlement prevailed. Financial excesses become the rule rather than the exception, facilitated by financial innovation and the erosion of lending standards and prudential regulation.Suddenly, the world turned upside down: "rich" countries were running large deficits and, in some cases, tipping from net creditor status to net indebtedness, while "poor" countries were running surpluses and accumulating large stocks of external assets, including financial claims on Western economies. An unusual convergenceLittle did these countries know that their divergent paths would end up fueling large global imbalances, and eventually trigger a financial crisis that has shaken the prevailing international economic order to its foundations.There is no restoring fully that order. Rather than recovering strongly, sluggish Western growth is periodically flirting with recession at a time of high unemployment and multiplying debt concerns, particularly in Europe. In an amazing turn of events, virtually every Western country must now worry about its credit ratings, while quite a few emerging economies continue to climb the ratings ladder. We can now consider the image of Western delegations heading to emerging countries to plead, cap in hand, for financial support, both direct and through the IMF. Live Box 201192615204954678 At first blush, this unusual convergence between Western and emerging countries seems to reflect what advocates of a new international economic order had in mind. But appearances can be misleading, and, in this case, they are misleading in a significant way.Advocates envisaged an orderly process in which economic convergence accompanied and facilitated global economic growth. They foresaw a collaborative process guided by enlightened policymaking. But what is occurring is far different and more unpredictable.Rather than exhibiting enlightened leadership, Western policymakers have consistently lagged realities on the ground, with a bewildering mixture of denial, misdiagnosis and bickering undermining their responses. Rather than proceeding in an orderly manner, today's global changes are being driven by the disorderly forces of de-leveraging emanating from a Europe in deep financial crisis and an America seemingly unable to restore sustained high rates of GDP growth and job creation.Multilateral institutions, particularly the IMF, have responded by pumping an unfathomable amount of financing into Europe. But, instead of reversing the disorderly deleveraging and encouraging new private investments, this official financing has merely shifted liabilities from the private sector to the public sector. Moreover, many emerging-market countries have noted that the policy conditionality attached to the tens of billions of dollars that have been shipped to Europe pales in comparison with what was imposed on them in the 1990s and early 2000s.Fortunately, despite having lagged rather than led this process of consequential (and increasingly disorderly) global change, it is not too late for policymakers to catch up. But doing so requires more than just better national policymaking in Europe and America; it is also time for urgent and deep reform of the multilateral system and its main institutions. That process requires joint leadership by the emerging world as a true equal and partner of Western powers.Mohamed A El-Erian is CEO and co-CIO of PIMCO, and author of When Markets Collide.

General Discussion
Batten disease, a rare genetic disorder, belongs to a group of progressive degenerative neurometabolic disorders known as the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses. These disorders share certain similar symptoms and are distinguished in part by the age at which such symptoms appear. Batten disease is sometimes considered the juvenile form of the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs). The NCLs are characterized by abnormal accumulation of certain fatty, granular substances (i.e., pigmented lipids [lipopigments] ceroid and lipofuscin) within nerve cells (neurons) of the brain as well as other tissues of the body that may result in progressive deterioration (atrophy) of certain areas of the brain, neurological impairment, and other characteristic symptoms and physical findings.
The symptoms of Batten disease usually become apparent between 5 and 15 years of age when progressive loss of vision, seizures, and progressive neurological degeneration develop. In some cases, initial symptoms may be more vague and include clumsiness, balance problems and behavioral or personality changes. Batten disease is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait and occurs most in families of Northern European or Scandinavian ancestry and is found worldwide.
For years, the term Batten disease was used to describe the chronic juvenile form of NCL (JNCL). Recently, some researchers have begun using the term Batten disease to encompass all types of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses.

PHP - Static Variables
Scope can be defined as the range of availability a variable has to the program in which it is declared. PHP variables can be one of four scope types −
- Local variables
- Function parameters
- Global variables
- Static variables.
Static Variables
The final type of variable scoping that I discuss is known as static. In contrast to the variables declared as function parameters, which are destroyed on the function's exit, a static variable will not lose its value when the function exits and will still hold that value should the function be called again.
You can declare a variable to be static simply by placing the keyword STATIC in front of the variable name.
<?php function keep_track() { STATIC $count = 0; $count++; print $count; print "<br />"; } keep_track(); keep_track(); keep_track(); ?>
This will produce the following result −

Hamstring Exercises - Videos & Description
Hamstring Exercises - Videos & Description
* Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift * Lying Leg Curl * Romanian Deadlift * Smith Machine Stiff Leg Deadlifts * Standing Leg Curl * Stiff Leg Deadlift * Sumo Stiff Leg Deadlifts In human anatomy, the hamstring refers to one of the three posterior thigh muscles, or to the tendons that make up the borders of the space behind the knee. In modern anatomical contexts, however, they usually refer to the posterior thigh muscles, or the tendons of the semitendinosus, the semimembranosus and the biceps femoris. In quadrupeds, it refers to the single large tendon found behind the knee or comparable area. As shown in the diagram, the human hamstring occupies the posterior of the body of the femur. Etymology The word ham originally referred to the fat and muscle behind the knee. String refers to tendons, and thus, the hamstrings are the string-like tendons felt on either side of the back of the knee. Another commonly accepted origin is that legs of ham used to be hung by a hook through the space between the thighbone and the tendons behind the knee. Ham/pork used to be more common in England than beef and lamb. The four muscles of the posterior thigh (semitendinosus, semimembranosus, biceps femoris long & short head) flex (bend) the knee, while three of the four extend (straighten) the hip. The three 'true' hamstrings cross both the hip and the knee joint and are therefore involved in knee flexion and hip extension. The short head of the biceps femoris crosses only one joint (knee) and is therefore not involved in hip extension. With its divergent origin and innervation it is sometimes excluded from the 'hamstring' characterization. [3] Functions The hamstrings cross and act upon two joints - the hip and the knee. Semitendinosus and semimembranosus extend the hip when the trunk is fixed; they also flex the knee and medially (inwardly) rotate the lower leg when the knee is bent. The long head of the biceps femoris extends the hip as when beginning to walk; both short and long heads flex the knee and laterally (outwardly) rotates the lower leg when the knee is bent. The hamstrings play a crucial role in many daily activities, such as, walking, running, jumping, and controlling some movement in the trunk. In walking, they are most important as an antagonist to the quadriceps in the deceleration of knee extension. Imaging Imaging the hamstring muscles is usually performed with an ultrasound and/or MRI.[4] The biceps femoris is most commonly injured, followed by semitendinosus. Semimembranosus injury is rare. Imaging is useful in differentiating the grade of strain, especially if the muscle is completely torn.[5] In this setting, the level and degree of retraction can be determined, serving as a useful roadmap prior to any surgery. Those with a hamstring strain of greater than 60mm in length have a greater risk of recurrence.[6] Use in surgery The distal semitendinosus tendon is one of the tendons that can be used in the surgical procedure ACL reconstruction. In this procedure, a piece of it is used to replace the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The ACL is one of the four major ligaments in the knee. Training In strength training, the hamstrings are trained in isolation with the leg curl exercise, as well as a part of several other lower body exercises. Hamstring plays an essential role in characterizing body flexibility, which is assessed by performing a sit and reach test. .

I had a brief look at the AK240 dedicated thread and I think the OP is best advised to ask his questions there.
He's more likely to get relevant answers to his questions there, rather than here.
A few snippets from the thread to put at ease some of the opinions here, I'll just put 2 quotes from Vinnie R. (aka Vinnie Rossi, founder of Red Wine Audio aka high end battery powered DAC, amps and miscellanea, and as I understand it owner of an AK240 along with other portable amps).
I think you can get a powerful enough amp for IEMs inside a DAP. I also believe the sound can be refined to get to the level of a high quality external amp (again, for IEMs) from a good DAP. This also eliminates the need for a cable and the plugs/jacks to connect a DAP to an external amp, which is an advantage. Whenever you can shorten the signal paths, eliminate connectors and plugs, etc. - this is a good thing IMHO.
But to drive something like Audeze LCD-3, Senn HD800, HiFiMan HE500, etc. with the authority of something like the ALO RX3 or RSA SR71B, you need more voltage swing than what the AK240 is rated for. With a 3.7V battery, the only way this is done is with DC-DC converters on board to make larger voltage rails (e.g. +/- 10V). The AK100/120 does this up to +/-3.3V I believe, and it's good, but not at the level of what something like the SR71B delivers, as it has higher voltage rails, much more capacitance on the rails to deliver higher output current, and does not need to use a DC-DC converter chips (which step up the voltage from the battery, but have much more limited output current compared to the battery). Lower impedance voltage rails gives you things like bass that hits harder and tighter and more defined, more open sounding mids, a top end with better decay, etc. Power supply implementation is HUGE because what you are feeding your headphones IS the power supply rails (modulated to mimic the input signal, with some level of distortion that is inevitable).
And even if it could be done very well for an all-in-one, I find that different headphones sound best with different amps. So having the flexibility to change amps does allow you to find one that sounds BEST with your DAP and headphones. But if you happen to find the amp inside a DAP sounds best, then you are in good luck and can travel with one box (true "portable"). And if you want that all-in-one even though it is not as good as a separate amp, then you live with the compromise.
Footnote: SR71B is a balanced portable amp from Ray Samuels Audio, rated as one of the best portable amps out there and direct competitor to the ALO RX.
Jury's still out on which is the better amp, the general consensus being the RX edges the SR71 a bit on sound quality but tends to produce some hiss with ultra-high sensitivity IEMs (but is reportedly quiet with the majority of full size headphones).
I will not continue to offer any more input on this matter since I'm completely out of my depth compared to the content of the dedicated AK240 thread.
So again, I'd recommend the OP to post his messages there.

Not sure if this is the right section to post this in, but since it has to do with my cat's bad behavior, it seemed like a fit. Anyway, one of our cats pooped on our microfiber couch about a week ago. Yeah. Long story. We removed it relatively quickly, but cannot seem to get the odor completely out. I've tried enzyme cleaner, Febreze for pet odors and I placed the two cushions affected outside over night last night thinking that the cold air would kill any remaining bacteria (and thus, smell). We're having people over tomorrow and would like to, ya know, sit on our couch. I just really need to get the smell out.
Any products or home remedies people have used here?

Our first Girl Scout meeting was a success, and so were the Malted Chocolate Chip Cookies. I set them out on a plate and then baked up a quick batch of Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookies as a non-chocolate alternative. The girls appreciated the cookies, and one future baker asked for the recipe. We had a lot to do, so I waited until the end of the meeting then ran upstairs and printed out a copy of the Malted Chocolate Chip recipe. When I handed it over to her she looked at me and said "No, I wanted the recipe for those sugar cookies." I showed her the packaging. Her mom looked relieved.
So that's my story, the point of which is never go out of your way to bake from scratch. Just kidding. A little dark humor for today to match my mood. Now how about some dark cookies? I made these for myself, but will of course share the leftovers with my friends at Todd's office. The last time I sent these (a loooooong time ago), people went nuts.
These are very dark and chocolaty and have a good bit of malt flavor. When chilled, they become very sturdy so you can easily wrap them in cellophane or stick them in a (Halloween?) goody bag. They'd alse be great with Halloween sprinkles, which I'm starting to see here and there.

British rap star Dizzee Rascal has teamed up with fellow Brit, designer Ben Drury, on a new Nike Air Max 90 to coincide with the release of Dizzee's upcoming LP 'Tongue in Cheek'. An immediate eye catcher, the soles are finished with the 'Dirtee Stank Recordings' fly beneath the shoe's transparent sole with white trim on the outsole, midsole and behind the tongue. The shoe is made of such strong materials as white suede and soft leather with tactical perforations on the toebox and collar, while the pink tongue– embroidered across the left and right shoes in the distinctive letterform– captures the 'Tongue N' Cheek' theme literally and figuratively. Once again, Drury utilizes the power of 3M (as per his AM1 three years ago) in the form of Dizzee's figure embossed on the heels and stitching on the laces this time around.
The truly killer touch is the translucent Swoosh. The Max 90 will drop in limited numbers at 1948 on Saturday 18th September.

Tested with the proprietary Nvidia drivers. For Fedora, these are available as a package from RPMFusion and updated for each new kernel release. Did not try the open source drivers for Nvidia.
Update : Fedora 12 fixes the first issue below : both headphone jacks work fine.
The headphone jack works and one of the two line out jacks works by default. On board speakers work but onboard mike array does not. Some folks report success getting it to work on adding it to rc.conf
Tested the Dell 1397 card. It works only with the hybrid Broadcom drivers at http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
To avoid having to compile the above driver for every kernel update, grab the kmod-wl package from RPMFusion. It provides the driver above and takes care of updating with each kernel release.
The Dell 1515 card will work with the open source b43 or Fwcutter drivers.
Update : Fedora 12 fixes this issue. The webcam always initializes.
Webcam works fine by default but sometimes refuses to start after waking up from hibernation. This was observed on Fedora. On such occasions, a restart fixes the issue.
The RPMFusion updates to kmod-wl and kmod-nvidia are sometimes released a couple of days behind a kernel update. Be careful not to upgrade to a new kernel until the driver updates are also available, else you will end up with graphics and wireless not working.
Update : Fedora 12 fixes the issues listed with Fedora 11 below.
Tested with Fedora 11 and Ubuntu 9.04.
Fedora 11 works great for the most part. rare crashes due to the graphics or wireless drivers occur sometimes. Waking up from hibernation may cause issues with subsequent webcam use in that session sometimes.
Ubuntu 9.04 had several graphics glitches when starting up, frequently hangs when waking up from hibernation and has problems with sound in several applications.

Although I find the media attention that this topic is creating to be rather silly, I too have fallen into the reverse marketing trap behind Jean M. Twenge's book, The Narcissism Epidemic: Living in the Age of Entitlement. No doubt it is quite clever to create a buzz of such – stirring the defensive parental nature of the many parents who are choosing "unique" names for their children, but while I completely appreciate the clever marketing technique, I have to say that I find this topic to be quite predatory upon the many innocent babies given a name which does not fit into the confines of peer-group popularity. And, in defense of the accused parents, how about the research behind the possible spiritual or cultural meaning of the given name? This just might reveal strong religious beliefs, family values, and other characteristics completely contradictory to the position of the proposed theory. Finally, lets define "unique". What is unique one season is a widespread epidemic the next, as demonstrated in The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. So, lets not point fingers at well-intended parents or condemn innocent children. Instead, lets turn to the ever insightful words of William Shakespeare, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" Romeo and Juliet, 2.2.
Unique Baby Names
