These oil colors are versatile, offering an unsurpassed price-to-quality ratio. They contain no waxes or thickeners, and no manufacturing shortcuts. The color palette includes the best original natural Earth and true Cadmium pigments.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
King's Blue is a generic name that has been used since the early 19th century to describe an opaque light blue color. Traditionally it was a light blue tint of cobalt blue and Cremnitz white (lead carbonate white), although some sources indicate that ultramarine blue was also used.
Zinc White is the coolest white, and it has a cold, clean masstone and a slightly bluish tint. It has less hiding power and is more transparent than other whites. It dries slowly and is good for painting wet into wet and for glazing and scumbling. Zinc White is neither as opaque nor as heavy as Lead White, its covering power is not as good, and it takes much longer to dry. However, it does not blacken when exposed to sulfur in the air as Lead White does. It is very valuable for making tints with other colors. Unmixed Zinc White dries to a brittle and dry paint film that may crack over the years, so it is not good for frescoing. It is more transparent in acrylic form than Titanium White and is the most commonly used white with gouache. Chinese White is a version of Zinc White appropriate for opaque watercolor techniques.
Zinc White has great permanence and lightfastness.
Zinc White is moderately toxic if ingested and slightly toxic if inhaled.
Though historians are divided on who first isolated the element zinc, they agree that it was first suggested as a white pigment in 1782. Zinc White was accepted as a watercolor in 1834 and was called Chinese White due to the popularity of oriental porcelain in Europe at the time. Ten years later, a suitable oil form was produced. By the early 20th century, it had improved to the point where it was an acceptable alternative to Flake White.
Chinese White, French White, Permanent White, Silver White, Snow White, Zinc Oxide.
Oxides of Cobalt and Chromium
Cobalt Chromite Blue is an opaque pigment with moderately low tinting strength.
Cobalt salts have excellent lightfastness and temperature stability.
Cobalt salts are toxic when ingested or inhaled, and slightly toxic on contact with the skin. Evidence of Chromium(III) carcinogenicity is inconclusive. Chromium(III) salts appear in greenish pigments.

Jo Nesbo's 'Police': high-octane Nordic noir
Like all of Nesbo's work, this story of cop killings is so dark and intense that immersion for an extended period is not for the sensitive
October 20, 2013 4:00 AMThe Norwegian author Jo Nesbo is known and duly praised for his crime thrillers featuring the mightily flawed but extraordinarily instinctive detective Harry Hole (pronounced "Hoo-leh"). With his new book "Police," Mr. Nesbo continues the story he started in his previous Harry Hole novel "Phantom."
If you are new to Mr. Nesbo, it's important to read "Phantom" first. Plots, characters and themes are revisited and continued without much explanation in "Police."
By Jo Nesbo.
Knopf ($25.95).
And as Mr. Nesbo's storytelling can wear you out, it is not recommended that you jump right from "Phantom" to "Police." A palate cleanser in between is in order, something like, say, Dr. Seuss.
Mr. Nesbo's work is so dark, intense and bone chilling that immersion in his world for an extended period is not for the sensitive. This review will attempt to thread the needle of spoiler avoidance, so plot details will be few.
It will be no surprise to Mr. Nesbo's admirers that the plot is intricate and surprising, with blind alleys and misdirection, but not far-fetched. Harry is a compelling hero/antihero whose ongoing influence on his police comrades and friends is demonstrated throughout "Police."
As Mr. Nesbo has created him, Harry is a man who could easily have become one of the master criminals he hunts, if not for a moral compass which happens to point in the right direction.
He is close to few people, and these people, those who "get" him, are fiercely loyal and inspired by him. So small is this group that Harry's cell phone directory identifies his contacts by a first initial only. Almost all of these contacts appear in "Police," with the law enforcement professionals among them forming a "super squad" to address a rash of cop killings.
Police officers are being killed at the sites of unsolved murders that they themselves investigated. Repercussions are felt into the upper echelons of Oslo police headquarters and city government. Media frenzy ensues.
After the wildly intense lone wolf aspect of "Phantom," the group dynamic of the task force is welcome and showcases that Harry's associates are also highly effective in their work. Even minor characters are masterfully drawn.
Mr. Nesbo's books (or more accurately, the translations of his books) are continuing to be released in the United States on a piecemeal basis. The first in the Harry Hole series, "The Bat," was only recently released here, and the second, "Cockroaches," is slated for release in December. The U.S. availability of these first two books in the series comes after the subsequent eight novels have already been available.
So for those who wish to jump into to the noir Norwegian world of Jo Nesbo, I have a suggestion. As any "Game of Thrones" fan knows: Winter is coming. Stock up on the Harry Hole series from the beginning and hunker down and get your inner Norwegian on. Sit in front of an ultraviolet light between books to dispel the creepiness. Think about the fjords. Then take a deep breath and start the next wild ride.

Bosses who sell their companies to their workforce will be rewarded with tax relief under a £50m government plan to be announced by Nick Clegg today.
The Deputy Prime Minister will unveil proposals to boost the number of employee-owned firms as part of his drive to create a "John Lewis economy." Owners who hand their workers a controlling stake will pay lower capital gains tax, which is normally charged at up to 28 per cent when assets are sold.
Firms in which employees own a significant stake have a combined annual turnover of £30bn, more than 3 per cent of GDP. Mr Clegg will endorse plans by the Employee Ownership Association to raise this to 10 per cent of GDP by 2020.
Speaking in London, he will say: "My goal in government is to help lay the foundations for a stronger economy and a fairer society and employee ownership helps do both. We know our economy needs to be rewired to properly assess and share risk, to properly motivate and reward workers and to think for the long term."
George Osborne, who included the £50m fund in last week's Budget, came under fire yesterday over his plans to boost home ownership after the Office for Budgetary Responsibility (OBR) warned they could raise house prices in the short term and suggested they would not tackle housing shortages.
The Chancellor defended his plans when he was quizzed by the all-party Treasury Select Committee. Andrew Tyrie, its Conservative chairman, asked him: "You are not concerned that we are just ploughing money back into the boom-bust property cycle?"
Mr Osborne replied: ""I don't detect that we are in the middle of a housing boom. I think we are in a very unusual situation after the financial crisis. Families are being priced out of the housing market and that is neither economically right nor socially fair."
The Chancellor insisted his £12bn plan to guarantee mortgages by helping buyers raise their deposit would be time-limited to three years. He refused to promise a ban on allowing people to use the scheme to buy a second home, despite Labour branding it a "spare home subsidy for millionaires."
Mr Osborne said families sometimes had two mortgages for a limited period when couples divorced or people moved to a new area to take up a job. "The absolutely clear intention of the scheme is to help people buy their first home or move home as their family grows," he said.
The Chancellor said: "Mortgages and the availability of mortgages are not just a demand issue they're also a supply issue. It's difficult for builders to build new homes if they're not sure there are people out there who can afford them."
But the OBR's Steve Nickell told the committee "The key issue is, is it just going to drive up house prices? By and large in the short run, the answer to that is yes. But in the medium term, will the increased house prices stimulate more house building? And our general answer to that would probably be a bit, but the historical evidence would suggest not very much."
Mr Osborne said the Treasury's long-standing practice of pre-briefing Budget measures to selected media outlets "clearly can't continue" in the same way, after the London Evening Standard's front page, including details of last week's package, appeared on Twitter before his Commons statement.

Kelly Rowland – the only non-Knowles survivor of the wreckage that is Destiny's Child – has finally jumped ship. Rowland announced yesterday that she has split with (we're being diplomatic; Bossip went with the harsher and probably more accurate "fired") longtime manager Matthew Knowles, father and manager of Beyoncé. The breakup reportedly followed a fight between the two over the handling of Rowland's career; we'll guess that the freezing temperature in Beyoncé's shadow may have also had something to do with it. According to Bossip, Rowland "was really upset that she's not better represented in the United States. She's a big hit in Europe, but not in America."
Today, dumper and dumpee each produced statements attesting to just how amicable their parting was. Rowland said, "Mathew Knowles has been a positive influence in my career. I have had great success under his guidance – both as a member of Destiny's Child and with my solo projects. Although we have decided to part ways professionally, the Knowles family and the entire Music World Entertainment team will always be my family."
Knowles said pretty much the same, adding, "[A]s a dad I only have love for Kelly."
No word yet on who Rowland plans to have represent her going forward. [Sources: Bossip, Contact Music, Perez Hilton]
Super Furry Animals - Super Furry Animals new album due in March | Are the contents of your hard drive being shared with the world? |
it seems to me that matthew never cared about anybody accept beyonce, if you dont believe me watch 'boulevard of broken dreams' on youtube where latoya and letavia tell the whole story about what really happened! to me it says beyonce is even less of a friend then kelly thinks because she never cared enough to see that her 'bestfriend' shared in the spotlight outside of destiny child!
good for you kelly, way to talented to stand in anybody's shadow!

How an overnight storm threw up a relic of our first VC winner
Wednesday 5 March 2008 by Craig Berelle. No comments
Personal Stories, Collection, First World War
It was 10 March 1919, and readers of the London Daily Mail were asked to help solve a wartime puzzle.
Appearing on page three, the appeal read "A newspaper correspondent, who has sent his address to the Editor of the Daily Mail, seeks a claimant for a Red Cross armlet, which he says he found in November 1915 on beach at ANZAC Bay, and which is marked: R. Howse, Col. : A.D.M.S., Australian Division."
In postwar London, the AIF was operating a depot whose duties included facilitating the training, leave or return to Australia of administrative and medical personnel then in the British Isles. The headquarters of the base was situated in Horseferry Road, depicted below:
An AIF staff officer reading the Daily Mail spotted the article and seized its significance immediately. He wrote: "In your today's issue of the "Daily Mail", page 3, "Far and Near" column, appears a small paragraph with reference to a Red Cross armlet found on Anzac in 1915 by a correspondent. "I am instructed to ask that the finder of this armlet be informed that the claimant for the same is Major General Sir Neville Howse, VC KCB [and] he would be pleased to receive this memento of a famous occasion."
The correspondent wrote a note to Sir Neville, in which he revealed all: "It was November 1915: there had been a heavy storm overnight. I was walking along the beach from Anzac in the direction of Suvla when I came across a heap of wreckage and human remains. Among them was the armlet. It has travelled a bit since then as I carried it with me to Egypt and France, finishing up a month ago in North Belgium. I am now very happy to return it to its original owner."
The note was signed J Blackburn, a former corporal with the 27th company of the Australian Service Corps, 13 March 1919. The note was saved in a registry file, and was acquired by the Memorial as AWM12 in 1943.
Series AWM12 is a collection of registry files from the First World War. This particular registry was set up in London as part of Australian Imperial Force (AIF) Headquarters to handle all incoming inter-departmental and external correspondence that related to individual members attached to medical units. Cataloguing this series continues to the present day. The story you have just read has its origin in the files of men whose surname commenced with the letter "N". Use the link below to learn more about the item and the context in which it was created.

Purple=meh... K3nny? *flips out* This is Gonna be EPIC
Do not let anything good in life pass you by. Cherish it with all of your heart, because before you know it even life will have passed you by. And if you let all those things pass you by? The only thing filling your heart will be deep sadness and regret. So whatever you do, hold on, and never let go. Last edited by siliconfanatic; 25th Jan 2013 at 05:13. |

We do not have the wheels. But from what I've seen they are very easy to obtain.
Indeed, thank you.
Unfortunately it looks like I'll be putting it on the mass consumption websites shortly.
I really hope it goes to an enthusiast.
I double checked the paperwork on the car and wanted to let everyone know that it also has the rear side airbags. This is a factory option, but very rare as most were ordered without it. I think this car is as safe as it gets!
Another update: replaced the front passenger window regulator today.
damn it. I wish you had this for sale 3 months ago. My girlfriend and I were looking for one. We ended up getting a 2012 Tiguan. Damn it....

Do you want to make Ohio.com your homepage?
XWhile Mike Adams' interception off a deflected pass with 54 seconds remaining was a lucky break in the Browns' 13-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins Sunday, it wasn't the only one they received.
They were just as fortunate that rookie cornerback Nolan Carroll dropped an interception of a Jake Delhomme pass intended for tight end Ben Watson with 1:44 remaining that could have been returned for a touchdown. At the least, the Dolphins would have taken over inside the Browns' 40.
"I should have made it; that's it,'' Carroll said afterward. "I saw the route; I knew it was coming before the play even happened because they ran the same thing earlier in the game. I've just got to make the play.''
Carroll said there was no doubt in his mind it could have gone for a pick six.
"I know for a fact I score. I've just got to make it,'' he said.
"They ran the same exact route in the first quarter, the same exact route. I saw it was coming and I knew I was going to have Sean (Smith) over top so jumped it this time.''
Asked about Delhomme's tendency to throw interceptions, Carroll said, "We knew coming in he was going to give us chances and he did give us chances. The way we played our defense we kind of made a little bit indecision on his part.''

A well-crafted romantic comedy that reps a happy marriage between love and laughter.
A well-crafted romantic comedy that reps a happy marriage between love and laughter, "Heartbreaker" is a step above commercial Gallic comedies and a step closer to Hollywood fare of yesteryear. Combining the glamour of "To Catch a Thief" with the ruckus of a Ben Stiller movie, TV vet Pascal Chaumeil's French Riviera-set intrigue stars Romain Duris as a professional "couples splitter" whose latest target — a stunning and stubborn bride (Vanessa Paradis) — proves to be an Achilles' heel dressed in Louboutin stilettos. This Universal France release opened strong mid-March, and should break more hearts when it's eventually remade Stateside.
Already sold in U.K., Spain, Italy, and Canada, with U.S. remake rights nabbed by Universal, this second French-language co-production (following Joann Sfar's "Gainsbourg") from Focus Features Intl. seems, likes its protag, to have already accomplished its mission of seduction. Smartly using their E9 million ($12 million) shooting budget, slick locations and numerous references to American pop culture, helmer Chaumeil and scribes Laurent Zeitoun ("I Do"), Jeremy Doner ("Damages") and Yoann Gromb have managed to create a high-octane romance de luxe scenario that recalls classic Cote d'Azur pics like the Hitchcock caper and Lubitsch's "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife." Morocco-set prologue — in which professional seducer Alex (Duris) fools a lovestruck vacationer (Amandine Dewasmes) into thinking he's a rugged Doctors Without Borders humanitarian — cleverly plays on the victim's and the audience's assumptions of what constitutes a perfect guy. Not only is Alex good-looking and charismatic, but he's also capable of being overtly sentimental, tearing up as he painfully recalls a childhood that never existed. Along with his prankster sis, Melanie (Julie Ferrier), and her goofball husband, Marc (Francois Damiens), Alex has made a killing stealing clueless girlfriends away from guys who pay him to do the dirty work rather than dump them directly. But recently, business has been difficult, and a mountain of debts forces the team to take on their most difficult assignment: Stop the upcoming marriage of Juliette (Paradis) and Jonathan (Andrew Lincoln), two beautiful millionaires who actually seem to be in love. Posing as Juliette's bodyguard when she lands in Monaco to prep the festivities, Alex attempts to impress her with his skills but winds up embarrassing himself time and again. Duris, a highly versatile actor capable of both wrenching physicality ("Persecution," "The Beat That My Heart Skipped") and screwball shenanigans ("Russian Dolls"), masterfully reveals his character's shifting personalities as he searches for the one that will win Juliette over. When it turns out the secret lies partly in her love of "Dirty Dancing," the actor's imitation of the late Patrick Swayze's dance moves is both hilarious and impressively adept. Known primarily in France as a successful '80s pop singer and erstwhile actress (and in the U.S. as Johnny Depp's longtime girlfriend), Paradis gives Juliette an elegance that surpasses the spoiled-brat persona one would expect to find here. Beyond the shopping bags and five-star hotels, her quest for something original and spontaneous is what brings her closer to Alex, and rather than a class-based love story, the film becomes a contest of free spirits vs. predictability. An experienced TV helmer and former second-unit director for Luc Besson, Chaumeil keeps the action brisk and entertaining, while allowing the two protags enough breathing room to let their romance develop believably over time. Luscious widescreen vistas by Besson regular Thierry Arbogast make the Monaco settings as attractive as they surely are in real life, while Klaus Badelt's score is a bit too tuned up in almost every scene. French title is a play on words that literally translates as "Heart Scammer."Heartbreaker

Notes & Reviews:
This is the third recording of a Bruckner's Symphony by Roger Norrington for Hanssler. A new performing edition edited by Norrington was used, correcting numerous errors and clarifying the composer's tempo and metronome markings.
The Independent
The orchestral playing is dynamic and bracing. Had Wagner's Siegfried been blessed with a brain, his journey might have sounded like this.

Preserving the parent-child relationship in separated families!
This organization was created to
provide support and educational services to single,
divorcing, and divorced parents regarding child
custody issues, child support issues, child
visitation issues, and other domestic related
Research shows that children with
equal access to both parents have elevated
academics, higher self-esteem, less emotional
distress, healthier social skills, are less likely
to be physically or emotionally abused, and have
better overall outcomes in life.
IowaFathers is here to provide educational and support services to help ensure that both parents maintain a healthy, meaningful relationship with their children.
The inability to afford legal representation should never deprive parents from having access to the Courts. In response to this growing problem, IowaFathers has created our Pro Se Center and we offer Support Meetings, which further expands our educational services by frequently having attorneys, judges, state legislators, child support recovery unit personnel, DHS personnel, and other professionals attend.

Let's Talk HOB "Cartridge" Media...
Seasoned hobbyists will, of course, know the stringent rule when using one of Hagen's coveted "AquaClear" HOBs with regard to its media...that is, never throw away your sponge save if it's on its last thread (would take an AWFULLY long time) or your biological media (i.e. BioMax rings/pellets/noodles or whatever you're using in that place), and instead go to rinse/dunk it in removed tank water...however, the situation becomes a bit more complex when talking about HOBs that take these "cartridge" forms of media, such as the Marinelands, Tetras and Aqueons...
Indeed, pro hobbyists will advise against using such filters strictly for the inconvenience of needing to constantly replace the cartridge media (according to the manufacturer), but I have had some luck with the Aqueon line of HOBs and actually like them...they put out a ton of water return flow and are self-priming due to an in-water pump system. That being said, the maintenance of these HOBs has always bothered and confused me in the same vain; Aqueon claims that the catridges should be removed and thrown away after about six or so weeks or when flow is so backed up from debris the filter has a noticeable reduced performance exhibition...their explanation for not needing to worry about throwing away beneficial bacteria? With their line of QuietFlow filters come "bio-grids" and "diffuser grids" which are supposed to grow and house the bacteria supply -- and which are not recommended by the company to be rinsed or otherwise cleaned in any way because of this -- thus allowing the actual cartridge pads to be discarded without fear of going into a mini-cycle...
Okay, so all that said, I am wondering if media such as this -- cartridges with carbon and floss -- should be routinely changed out when they're really gross and overstuffed or if they, too, can be dunked and rinsed just like the AquaClear media...the thing with the carbon cartridges is that after awhile, the carbon is exhausted and I have heard that this can leech toxins back into the water if not removed fast enough. On the other hand, I have heard that there's no such thing as "poisoning by old carbon" -- I understand the reasoning behind modern hobbyists turning away from using carbon as any kind of media source unless removal of medication or toxic odors are necessary, but let's just say for a minute there are still hobbyists like me out there that like to run HOBs like these Aqueons with the carbon cartridges...what should the maintenance schedule be like? Do these things really need to be removed and replaced every six or so weeks like the company says, or can I get away with doing what we all do with our AquaClear media -- that is, remove the pads and simply dunk and swish around in removed tank water just to loosen the debris hanging on? Is there any danger of carbon "leeching" something back into the tank when exhausted?
If these cartridges can indeed be reused over and over, just cleaning by rinsing in removed tank water, how long can this/should this go on for...like with the AquaClears, until they're "falling apart"?
Let's get some thoughts!
0No, at least not under the conditions in our aquariums. We use activated carbon in the water treatment industry as biomedia for bacterial treatment of drinking water just as we do in our fish tanks. Also, from all the research I've done on activated carbon, the only way for the carbon to leech would be under extreme conditions such as highly acidic or basic water.

0Thank you for the prompt reply, funk...
So are you suggesting I can continue to rinse and dunk old cartridges over and over again to reuse them instead of constantly changing them out per the manufacturer? What did you mean by "basic water"? I only ask because I think that...well...that's what I, and millions of others, use!
0In water chemistry, acidic refers to water with a pH closer to zero and basic water has a pH closer to 14. Neutral water, which more closely resembles what most of us have, has a pH of 7.

0Hmmmmmm.....okay....so are you basically saying I would have to get a pH reading of my water in order to determine if the carbon is going to affect any kind of "leeching" process back into the tank...or can I simply continue rinsing these cartridges without much worry of any toxic carbon getting out once exhausted?
0No, sorry I wasn't clear. In the environment that we keep our fish, you would never need to worry about the carbon leeching. If the water is acidic or basic enough to start leeching anything then your fish and anything else in your tank would be dead. So forget the science talk and just know that there's nothing to be concerned about.

0Thank you; so, in the context of the topic of my thread, I CAN re-use these cartridges by rinsing them in removed tank water during basic maintenance (until they show signs of physically falling apart)?
Also -- I have been told that carbon-based filter media can become nitrate (or maybe it was nitrite) factories from exhausted carbon leeching toxins back into the tank...you disagree with this wholeheartedly?
0another suggestion: pull out the carbon after a month and add some bio-media inside the cartridge if you're gonna use it for long periods of time.
your friendly neighbourhood arowanaman!
0Those filter cartridges can't be reused forever because it gets clogged to the point where the water will pass over the cartridge instead of through it, even if regularly rinsing it. That's why it's best to use a filter that allows for a separate biomedia cartridge.
I've never heard that. Filters in general can become nitrAte factories if not properly maintained, but it has nothing to do with the carbon leeching. This is because they trap debris/waste which decomposes in the filter pad creating ammonia which is converted to nitrate. If a filter is not cleaned out on a regular schedule then more and more waste will build up. By cleaning out the filter and removing the excess debris, it's like preemptively doing a water change because you're removing the nitrates before they had a chance to form. It's the same reason people clean the bottom of the tank with a gravel vac. Having the debris in that form is completely harmless (although it may look bad) but it will eventually break down causing nitrate and other pollutants. On the contrary, I never clean the bottom of my tank because it's heavily planted and the waste at the bottom will just be fertilizer for my plants.
0Over here in Europe this internal filter is very popular for small tanks:
Comes in various sizes, dirt cheap and works well. With these you just pop off the bottom and you can get at the sponge. There's a hollow in there filled with carbon and plugged with some sponge. Most knowledgable people just chuck the carbon and replace with some small glass sinter balls. Maintenance is easy enough, draw some tank water, shake out the ceramics in the bucket. Squeeze the sponge a bit and reassemble. My daughter's shrimp tank runs on one of these.
If a cartridge doesn't allow for easy disassembly then in my opinion it's not a viable solution for any serious aquarist.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

"About six years ago, the doctors saw a teleconference room and wanted something similar for a surgical teaching theater at the Barrow," said Gabriel Arnn, TelePresence Producer of Barrow's Eller TelePresence Conference Room. "The original design was very limited with low-resolution, low-brightness images and no picture-in-picture capabilities. We saw a need for high-definition images with as many sources on the screen as possible, in any scale or configuration, to optimize the visual content.
"Having looked at numerous products, nothing matched the Spyder demonstration. We have eight LCD monitors in portrait mode and the other products could not match the pixel-by-pixel palette we created. Spyder handled the rotation as well as the raster with ease. It was seamless, with no lag crossing from panel to panel; neither did it skip a beat as images passed from screen to screen.
"The conference room has a one-of-a-kind system anchored by the Spyder," Arnn continued. "We don't know of another system that is capable of packaging all the video together and sending it out on one stream. People come from all over the world to see the amazing care our doctors give at Barrow. We can send three separate codecs to remote locations, then render the composited image at our end, and send it anywhere as a single image."
Integrator Brent Stanphill of Level 3 Audio Visual configured eight 46-inch Samsung LCD screens in a half-moon curve. "The monitors have no bezel, just a very thin mullion, for an almost seamless image," he explained. "The Spyder is used as the palette to put up multiple images or one image, up to 4K resolution, across the monitors.
"We have two Toshiba medical-grade HD cameras butted together to create a panoramic view," continued Stanphill. "When the operating room is live, we can view it and the output from an endoscopic camera, giving the audience a comprehensive view of what is going on. We can also send an audio bridge and do an audio teleconference. We push the final output to one of three Cisco videoconferencing systems."
After evaluating several video processors, Stanphill is convinced Spyder is the best choice. "It's the only video processor capable of doing a true portrait video output," he added. "The doctors love it, and some of them have said they plan to revolutionize telemedicine using this system."
"Vista has also been very responsive on the service side," concluded Arnn. "They have gone above and beyond the call in helping us conceive, spec and support the project. They have definitely built a relationship with us, and I hope to work more with them. The Spyder is the most future-proof product I have ever seen."

Yahoo Inc's appointment of Google Inc veteran Marissa Mayer as its new chief executive surprised analysts, but they hailed the decision saying the Stanford engineer can create a more stable and focused organization.
Continue Reading Below
Mayer, 37, edged out front-runner and acting CEO Ross Levinsohn to become Yahoo's third CEO in a year.
"We believe Mayer's background in product and technology and deep understanding of the Internet could lead to improved results at Yahoo longer-term," ThinkEquity analyst Ronald Josey wrote in a note to clients.
Mayer getting the top job in Yahoo was a surprise as it was seen as a race between Levinsohn and Hulu CEO Jason Kilar.
Levinsohn was focusing on turning the company into an entertainment and information destination that wins back the advertising dollars flowing elsewhere.
But the board may not have endorsed his media-focused, long-term plan to turn the ship around.
Continue Reading Below
Mayer's appointment is a clear message from the board that her background in product is more likely to generate long-term revenue growth than a content focus, Needham & Co analyst Laura Martin said.
Yahoo's last two CEOs -- Scott Thompson from PayPal and Carol Bartz from Autodesk Inc -- also had more technology expertise in their resume than content and advertising.
Citi Research analyst Mark Mahaney said he has high regards for Mayer's organizational skills but Yahoo's challenges are substantial.
"Arguably, Yahoo has been mismanaged for more than five years with plenty of blame to go around."
Shares of Yahoo were up 1.6 percent at $15.90 in trading before the bell. The stock closed at $15.64 on Monday.

Ex-Tunisia Leader Gets 15 Years
After ousting him in historic protests earlier this year, Tunisia has sentenced former president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to 15 years in prison on drus and weapons charges. The sentence, announced in absentia, follows an earlier punishment two weeks ago of 35 years for charges of theft and unlawful possession of cash and jewelry. Ben Ali and his wife were also fined $65.6 million during the prior sentencing.

How is the Culver City real estate market doing this year? Let's see how the thirds quarter compares to the same period in 2011.
Single Family
Sold | Over 2011 | Median | Over 2011 | Active | Under Contract | Avg Sale vs List |
149 | 49 | $640,000 | 1.03% | 35 | 44 | 99.30% |
Sold | Over 2011 | Median | Over 2011 | Active | UnderContract | Avg Sale vs List |
107 | 37 | $265,000 | -12.38% | 19 | 51 | 98.03% |
The numbers are taken from the MLS/CLAW and are deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
Single family home sales are up significantly over the same period in 2011 and and the median price is up. Sellers are pretty much getting asking price for their homes.
Condo sales are also up over the same period in 2011. The median price is down over last year.
Inventory is still extremely low and Culver City real estate continues to be a sellers' market.

Advertisement It's unclear what the fate of the game, currently in pre-production, will be; said Introversion's Chris Delay:Ultimately we don't know for certain if Chronometer will be going into full production – the conditions would have to be right for Introversion and for Channel 4, although they've been fantastic to work with during pre-production.

Choreography by: George Balanchine
Music by: Johann Sebastian Bach
One of Balanchine's greatest masterpieces, Concerto Barocco is music made visible as two elegant yet dynamic lead ballerinas each depict one of the instrumental soloists in a virtuosic double violin concerto.
Concerto Barocco had its beginnings as a School of American Ballet exercise and was first performed for the Latin American tour of the American Ballet Caravan in 1941. When it entered the repertory of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo in 1945, the dancers were dressed in practice clothes, probably the first appearance of what has come to be regarded as the modern ballet costume pioneered by Balanchine. Concerto Barocco was presented on the first performance of New York City Ballet in 1948, along with Balanchine's Orpheus and Symphony in C. It is considered the quintessential Balanchine ballet of its period, its manner entirely pure, its choreography no more, and no less, than an ideal response to its score, Bach's Double Violin Concerto in D Minor. About the ballet, the critic Clive Barnes wrote, "The three hallmarks of the American classic style are poetry, athleticism, and musicality, and these three graces are exquisitely exploited by Concerto Barocco."

Hi, there is a problem with my ISPConfig3 installation: The script "/usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.php" is started every time and still running indefinitely. After a some hours of server running I seen 100's of instances of this script in "top". As I can see, this script "stops" or "indefinitely waits" on "$app->modules->processDatalog();" string and nothing happened next. Now I just truncate this script to "die();" because it fills all the memory with it's instances. What can be wrong? System: Debian Lenny
Thats not a good idea as we can not debug it like this. Remove the die command and comment it out in the root crontab instead. Please enable debugging in the file /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/config,inc.php by setting the $conf["log_priority"] to 0 and then post the debug output that you get when you run: rm -f /usr/local/ispconfig/server/temp/.ispconfig_lock /usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.sh
Thank you for your advice. Here is the output: "Call function 'user_update' in plugin 'mail_plugin' raised by event 'mail_user_update'." and its stops after this line.
02.06.2009-12:58 - DEBUG - Set Lock: /usr/local/ispconfig/server/temp/.ispconfig_lock 02.06.2009-12:58 - DEBUG - Found 55 changes, starting update process. 02.06.2009-12:58 - DEBUG - Call function 'user_update' in plugin 'mail_plugin' raised by event 'mail_user_update'. I waiting 10-12 minutes before terminate the script.
Did you make any changes to the mail plugin or mail module? If an error occures (php parsing error) in one of those files the server script aborts without message.
No, nothing was changed in other scripts. And script didn't aborts, it stops without exit and staying in memory.
Hello, today i had the same problems with server.sh. More and more instances of the server.sh load up, so i am forced to deativate it in crontab. I had no problems before, i just compiled Postfix 2.6.2 from the source, this went well and postfix is working good. But since the install i have these problems with multiple server.sh instances. There is a solution? Thank you, Bongo
Please try to update to the latest svn version or use the mail plugin from svn, there had been several fixes in the mail plugin. also make sure that all files in the /var/vmail folder belong to user and group vmail or maildirmake can fail.

Mexico, 2011: 172 attacks on press freedom, including nine journalists and two media workers killed, two disappeared, and eight media outlets bombed. Most shockingly, the security forces and other state authorities were behind 40 percent of the attacks, while organised crime only accounted for 13 percent of cases.
Such are the findings of ARTICLE 19's report, "Forced Silence: The state, an accomplice in violence against journalists in Mexico", launched this week in Mexico City with support from high-profile press freedom advocates, like local journalist Lydia Cacho, and Javier Darío Restrepo from Colombia.
Get a taste of the report below:
"Forced Silence" criticises the government's response to the violence against the press as "a discourse without tangible results." It points especially to the special federal prosecutor's office that investigates the few crimes against free expression: in its six years of existence, only a single conviction has been recorded.
The report details attacks on the press in recent years in Mexico's most dangerous areas, who the main predators are, the state's lack of political will, as well as ARTICLE 19's comprehensive suggestions on how to protect journalists and their rights in one of the world's deadliest places to practise journalism.

Orchid lures in pollinating wasps with promise of fresh meat
A common wasp on a foraging mission catches an enticing scent on the breeze. It's a set of chemicals given off by plants that are besieged by hungry insects and it means that there is food nearby for the wasp's grubs – caterpillars. The wasp tracks the smell to its source – a flower – and while it finds nectar, there are no caterpillars and it leaves empty-mandibled. The smell was a trick, used to dupe the wasp into becoming a unwitting pollinator for the broad-leaved helleborine.
The broad-leaved helleborine (Epipactis helleborine) is an orchid that grows throughout Europe and Asia. It is but one deceiver in a family that is rife with them. About 10,000 species of orchids trick pollinators into visiting their flowers. Some attract males by mimicking the sight and smells of females. Others resemble orchid species that provide rich nectar rewards, while providing none themselves. But while thousands of species offer the potential for sex or food, only the broad-leaved helleborine advertises itself by promising fresh meat.
Darwin himself noted that even though the helleborine packs a substantial reservoir of nectar, it is pollinated by only two species of insects – the common wasp and the European wasp. Until now, no one knew how the orchid was attracting its pollinators. Jennifer Brodmann from the University of Ulm in Germany solved the mystery by testing how wasps responded to the smells and sights of orchids.
She found that the smell of the helleborine alone attracted just as many wasps as the whole flowers. In contrast, the sight of a flower in a glass box that didn't let any scents through was far less attractive. Luring wasps with odours makes sense for the helleborine, for it grows in shady parts of dark coniferous forests, where they are difficult to see.
A smelly trick
Brodmann used gas chromatography to analyse the chemicals released by the flower, and recorded the electrical responses of wasp antennae as the scents wafted over them. She detected several organic molecules such as hexanal and hexyl acetate that are collectively known as "green-leaf volatiles". They are produced by other plants when they are set upon by insects and those of the cabbage, for example, responds to caterpillar infestations by producing a very similar spectrum of chemicals to the helleborine.
In these other plants, green-leaf volatiles are a call for reinforcements. They summon predatory insects that feast on the caterpillars, or parasitoids that use them as living larders for their own eggs. Common wasps are no exception. By placing them in a Y-shaped tube with different scents at the prongs, Brodmann found that wasps were consistently drawn to the smell of helleborines over empty chambers. They even preferred chambers containing synthetic mixtures of the green-leaf volatiles released by the orchids.
Any wasp that is duped into visiting a helleborine flower still receives a drink of nectar for its troubles. In the future, it may associate the smell of green-leaf volatiles with a sugary reward, and be more likely to visit flowers of the same species. That suits the helleborine, which receives a specific pollination service.
By releasing the right chemicals, the broad-leaved helleborine has effectively hijacked the lines of communication that other plants use to recruit wasps. It's the first species known to do this, but unlikely to be the only one.
Brodmann also found that the closely related purple helleborine (Epipactis purpurata), which is also pollinated by wasps, produces similar levels of green-leaf volatiles. On the other hand, a third species from the same genus, the royal helleborine (Epipactis atrorubens), which are pollinated by bees, releases few if any of these chemicals.. The strategy seems to only work on wasps.

About burtiness of PvPing, I was actually under impression it was the other way round, at least from the look of some videos I saw.
What WoW has over any other MMO, love it or hate it, is arena. And for me and possibly other people that IS the PvP. I just hope that ToR will have a better implementation of rated Battlefronts than that of rated Battlegrounds.
Because ten billion

so ephemeral…
it arouses such a
almost heartbreaking fondness.
so change of topic anyone else pumped for the GTA 5 trailer release in about 3 hours? =D
Nothing is "official" until the game is released.
a keyboard turning backpeddling CS & Arena pro. now iv seen it all.
so what was the point in coming to this forum? to flame a game you're not going to play? to try and start a flame war?
WoW's PvP is one of the worst ever conceived... but then again, I don't play MMORPG's for PvP... I play FPS, MOBA and games DESIGNED for PvP to play some PvP...... bottom line, I like PvP, so I'll stick with BF3
Moving on....Bioware made a pretty big deal about their "choreographed" and "heroic" combat. It's nothing of the kind. I'm not saying combat is bad, it's just not some crazy game-changer they made it out to be 2 years ago. The lack of an auto-attack is a mistake in my opinion. It just forces you to spam your mouse button
WoW having more subs than SWTOR is the same thing as Justin Bieber having more youtube plays than Tupac. Just because its more popular doesn't mean its good.
Warcraft Lore has gone from one of the most vast and interesting stories in all of gaming to a bad Thrall Fanfic by Chris Metzen.
SWTOR Referral link: http://www.swtor.com/r/2MpjV9 7 free days and other free stuff.
I love these threads!
Seeing the WoW fanboys get so upset about another MMO is awesome!
I bet the OP got his annual pass and a Panda tattoo on the same day!! Well at least you'll have D3 to play for a while.......
Threads like this make me believe TOR will be a very successful game.
I'm not going to join the discussion, as I don't want to get flamed into oblivion like obviously the WoW players here do. But, I will say three things.
1. Last time I saw a high level ToR PvP video, I almost feel asleep, however ToR is doing really well on the PvE side of things (if only in the story part of it).
2. WoW PvP is actually pretty balanced right now (EXCEPT FOR TEH FAKING FROST MAGES!).
3. If you want a PvP game, don't play SW:ToR OR WoW, play GW2. That game has amazing PvP.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police say two teenagers have turned themselves in to face charges in the robbery of a 9-year-old girl in north Philadelphia.
Officers said the third-grader was robbed of $13 at about 8:30 a.m. Friday after making a purchase in an East Germantown mini-mart.
The Philadelphia Inquirer (http://bit.ly/13NuVDv ) says surveillance video shows the teens watching the girl, and they approached her outside and grabbed her wallet before fleeing.
Police said the parents of the 13- and 14-year-old suspects saw the footage on news programs and brought them to police later that day.
A police department spokeswoman says both have been arrested and will be charged with robbery and related offenses.
Police said the victim was reported in good condition.

Princess Di exhibit to open where Virgin Megastore was
Posted 17 June 2009 - 03:25 PM
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Peoples Princess Charitable Foundation, Inc. (PPCF) is bringing DIANAThe Peoples Princess a major new exhibit of royal artifacts to Walt Disney World Resort. Opening in early July 2009, this limited-time experience showcases the life and story of one of the most iconic and inspirational figures in recent history, including a sampling of the royal dresses Diana chose to auction for charity and hundreds of authentic artifacts relating to her life.
DIANAThe Peoples Princess exhibit will be held in a 17,500-square-foot setting at Downtown Disney West Side adjacent to DisneyQuest. This unique exhibition is one of the largest collections of royal dresses and rare artifacts ever assembled for an American audience which provides an in-depth historical perspective of her life. The exhibit includes five rarely seen royal dresses worn by Princess Diana.
As part of this unique experience, guests will come to understand:
The stories of Dianas own childhood and ancestry and how that lineage was influential in her selection as the future bride of HRH Charles, The Prince of Wales, the future King of England.
Her magical royal wedding which was viewed by over 750 million people from around the globe; her favorite role as mum to princes William and Harry.
Kensington Palace, the royal residence where Diana lived from the moment she became the Princess of Wales until her death and which today plays an active role in preserving her charitable legacy.
The historical significance of her role as Princess of Wales and the impact she had through that role on the fashion industry and charitable landscape.
How at the Christies Sale of The Century, 79 of Dianas royal dresses were sold to benefit charities which helped position her as an astute philanthropist.
Her untimely passing and the massive media and public interest in the tragedy.
The charitable impact still being recognized through her gowns and personal effects.
A hint at some of the items on display:
Royal Doulton figurine of Diana in her wedding dress Made in 1981 at the time of the royal wedding, the doll is wearing an exact replica of the famous wedding dress.
The Black Velvet V Neck Designed by Bruce Oldfield and worn by Diana for her official royal portrait in 1985.
Wedding Breakfast booklet Contains guest names and two tickets to observe the bride and bridegroom before and following the wedding ceremony in the quadrangle at Buckingham Palace and Clarence House.
Three-foot doll of Diana as a young girl Released by the Great American Doll Company in 1998 as a tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales.
The late Princess used her globally renowned platform brilliantly, commented Maureen Rorech Dunkel, founder of PPCF. She understood that the many different experiences she had in her life, both positive and negative, made her more relatable to the public. She used this quality to connect to the common masses and in doing so became known as The Peoples Princess. She used her compassion to bring support to all those in need and is still to this date, almost 12 years after her tragic passing, regarded as one of the most influential humanitarians of all time.
We look forward to The Peoples Princess Charitable Foundation bringing this unique experience to our Downtown Disney guests, said Kevin Lansberry, vice president of Downtown Disney. We remain committed to offering guests new and exciting experiences they can only have at the Walt Disney World Resort.
Tickets may be purchased at the exhibit $14.50 (ages 10 and above), $5 (ages 3-9). The exhibition will be through Nov. 30, 2009. Hours are 11 a.m.-11 p.m. daily.

I can see the fit. Moms and Dads taking their little princess' to see artifacts from the life of a real life, honest to goodness, princess. Not a fairy tale one, therefore, encouraging them to believe that even their dreams can come true.

First Look: Sqirl's New Spacious Room and Menu
It was only last October that master preserver and all-around jam goddess Jessica Koslow turned her tiny Sqirl production kitchen into a small cafe. Even without real seating - tables on the patio were boxes - Sqirl was a hit from day one. There was fabulous toast topped with greens, eggs and jalapeno hot sauce. There was G&B espresso and cold brew. There were pastries and rice bowls. But like a slow-moving tumbleweed, the concept, the offerings and the place grew.
After closing for a few weeks to renovate and make way for Lou Amdur's new wine store and marketplace next door, Koslow unveiled Sqirl 2.0 this week, and it is more charming than ever. The room was expanded for a new marble counter and communal table, and outside there are bright orange cafe tables - yes, real tables! - that perfectly contrast the royal blue building. Along one side of the room, the kitchen is still open where you can watch the team - Koslow herself, chefs Ria Wilson (Canele) and Matt Wilson (Son of a Gun), and pastry chef Meadow Ramsey (Campanile) - do their thing, like hand-make pastas or glaze the most amazing fig upside-down cake we've ever seen, and there's a small counter for ordering.
Along the other side, the chalkboard menu spans an entire wall scrawled with signature menu items like the brioche toasts with jam and cheese, plus specials that change daily. G&B is no longer there, but an Intelligentsia alum, Colleen King, selects new coffees to be served on a rotating basis. The Sqirl team is making and bottling their own cold-brew coffee and teas, plus other refreshers like Gravestein apple juice, rhubarb lemonade and tumeric tonic.
The cafe is open 6:30 AM-4 PM, Monday-Friday, and starting at 8 AM on the weekends. Lou's Wine and Provisions, which was supposed to open when Sqirl did, is still a few days away, but could open as early as next week. Take a look around below, including some of the delicious new dishes you might find this week (720 N. Virgil Ave.; 213-394-6526).

Lawyers for Dharun Ravi, the former Rutgers University student convicted of spying on his college roommate kissing another man, have asked a Superior Court judge to overturn the jury's verdict, arguing among other things that the state's bias-intimidation law was misused.
In a motion filed Tuesday, Steven Altman said that evidence in the case did not support the invasion-of-privacy conviction and that the bias-intimidation charges were unfounded. Altman asked Judge Glenn Berman to throw out the conviction or grant Ravi, 20, a new trial.

Its initial portfolio comprises four office properties in Germany in key cities of Bonn, Darmstadt, Münster and Munich, valued at approximately SGD478 million.
"We are delighted that IREIT is the first pure-play REIT with German assets to list in Singapore as well as in Asia. Our initial portfolio of quality freehold office assets in key German cities with strong economic growth differentiates us from market peers, positioning IREIT favourably and giving investors another choice investment option.

"We welcome IREIT Global to Mainboard. Its focus in Europe adds geographical diversity to our REITs cluster and provides our global investors with access to the property sector in Germany and Europe.

Groupon's Chinese site went live on Monday and will start offering daily deals this month, the online coupon company said, marking its long-awaited entry to the world's most populous internet market.
The start of GaoPeng.com has triggered curiosity among some Chinese industry incumbents and fear among others as Groupon is entering an already fiercely competitive market.
By the end of 2010, the number of groups buying websites in China had ballooned to 2,612 and total industry revenues were Rmb2.5bn ($380m), according to tuanlab, a web portal that links to online coupon sites.
"You have to ask how they think they can carve out a niche and distinguish themselves," said George Song, chief executive of Didatuan, China's third-largest coupon website according to tuan800, another aggregator portal.
In China, the online group-buying boom started in early 2010. "We all got excited when we saw what Groupon was doing," said Mr Song, former head of sales at Google China, referring to the website's success in the US. He and a team of colleagues quit their jobs and started Dida-tuan in June last year. They are a rarity for this segment in China, with their years of experience in online marketing and advertising.
Industry executives said Groupon was in for some drastic adjustment in such a market environment. In its home market, Groupon sells deeply discounted coupons for goods and services, keeping half the cost of each coupon sold.
"They will have to say goodbye to the 50 per cent margins they are used to in the US – here, margins at the strong companies are maybe about 10 per cent, and for many smaller firms they are in the single digits," said Ding Yongxin, head of the group-buying site of Sohu, China's second-largest online news portal. Mr Ding said Sohu did not need the group-buying operation to make money, but saw it as a tool to attract and retain more young, consumption-ready users to its portal and complement its other offerings.
While Mr Ding said he wished Groupon luck, others were not so sanguine.
Several Chinese coupon sites are eyeing investors for new rounds of fundraising and eventual IPOs, and are jittery that a strong new rival in the market could spoil those plans.
Lashou, China's largest group-buying site with a turnover of Rmb68.9m in December according to tuan800, is embarking on an expansion into China's smaller cities, because Groupon is hiring in Beijing and Shanghai, the two cities where it plans to start offering its daily deals.
Observers also said Groupon should look to the failures of other western internet companies in China as a lesson. "No western internet firm has really succeeded here, many of them have just tried to impose strategies they use elsewhere," Mr Ding said.
Chinese group-buying executives said an often chaotic business environment, with widespread fraud and different consumer habits from those in the US, could be challenging for Groupon. "In the US, people are used to making a reservation in a restaurant, but Chinese rarely ever do that," Mr Song said.
Groupon appears to be heeding that advice, and has teamed up with Tencent, China's largest internet company, for the China site. A fund run by Tencent is a co-investor and another fund which counts Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, China's largest e-commerce empire, among its investors, also has a stake.
"GaoPeng aims to introduce a sophisticated group-buying business model and an international service standard to the market," said Yun Ouyang, head of GaoPeng and vice-president at Tencent's strategy department.
