Four years after graduation : occupational therapists' work destinations and perceptions of preparedness for practice
Brockwell, Dione, Wielandt, Trish, & Clark, Michele J. (2009) Four years after graduation : occupational therapists' work destinations and perceptions of preparedness for practice. Australasian Journal Of Rural Health, 17(2), pp. 71-76.

(PDF 143kB)
Objective: The present study sought to identify the work destinations of graduates and ascertain their perceived preparedness for practice from a regional occupational therapy program, which had been specifically developed to support the health requirements of northern Australians by having an emphasis on rural practice. ----------
Design: Self-report questionnaires and semistructured in-depth telephone interviews. ----------
Participants: Graduates (n = 15) from the first cohort of occupational therapists from James Cook University, Queensland. ----------
Main outcome measure: The study enabled comparisons to be made between rural and urban based occupational therapists, while the semistructured interviews provided a deeper understanding of participants' experiences regarding their preparation for practice. ----------
Results: Demographic differences were noted between occupational therapists working in rural and urban settings. Rural therapists were predominantly younger and had worked in slightly more positions than their urban counterparts. The study also offered some insights into the value that therapists placed on the subjects taught during their undergraduate occupational therapy training, and had highlighted the differences in perceptions between therapists with rural experience and those with urban experience regarding the subjects that best prepared them for practice. Generally, rural therapists reported that all subjects included in the curriculum had equipped them well for practice. ----------
Conclusions: Findings suggest the need to undertake further research to determine the actual nature of rural practice, the personal characteristics of rural graduates and the experiences of students while on rural clinical placements.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A former Philadelphia Traffic Court official pleaded guilty to his role in what prosecutors call a wide-reaching ticket-fixing conspiracy.
Former court supervisor William Hird pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of mail and wire fraud and lying to investigators.
A federal judge will determine his sentence later. Guidelines call for a sentence of about 12 to 18 months.
Authorities have portrayed the traffic court as a pit of patronage and corruption. Nine judges were charged with dismissing or reducing citations for friends, relatives, business associates and political allies.
Three judges involved in the case pleaded guilty earlier. Six defendants, including several former judges, are awaiting trial.
In the wake of the indictment, the traffic court has been abolished and its functions are handled with the city's municipal court.

- Product Features
While supplies last! Only about 184 left.
Requires a power supply and controller. The Versaline 3-Channel Chasing LED Christmas Light system allows you to connect a variety of light strings, icicle strings, motif decorations and net lights into a stunning display of flashing lights. We developed this system in response to heavy demand for multi-channel chasing Christmas lights. A unique feature of this system is that the connectors have up to five wires, allowing the lines to carry two 24-volt power lines, plus three signal lines. This provides a convincing 3-channel chase, allowing the controllers to create delightful effects other light strings cannot achieve. Linkable in long lines! That's unusual in a chasing string. This is a super-deluxe LED design we developed because so many people were looking for it and not finding it. Well, here it is!
We offer two versatile controllers, an 8-function and a 10-function version. Either controller can be used with the full complement of LED Christmas lights we offer, including strings, net lights, icicle strings, motif decorations and crab strings.
Features include:- True 3-channel chase and other features. System contains all the wires necessary to do what few Christmas lights can.
- RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) compliant. Lead was not used to make these products.
- Commercial grade construction for high reliability and longevity.
- Weather-proof twist-lock connectors are rugged and very easy to connect quickly. They are superior to screw-on connectors because they are faster to connect, which is helpful for large-scale jobs. The fitting compresses an O-ring seal to keep the water out. Guaranteed to stay connected during a nasty ice storm, unlike 2-prong plugs on most strings.
- Bright, high quality LEDs and optical-grade conical prismatic optics really sparkle.
- Indoor/outdoor use. Controllers and power supplies have IP44 or better ingress rating (protected against solid objects of 1mm diameter and splashing water.)

State Senator Greg Ball is asking the public to "sponsor a vet."
The Putnam-Dutchess-Westchester lawmaker is organizing a trip this fall to Washington, D.C., honoring veterans of World War II.
"World War II vets are dying at a rate of 600 per day. I want the brave men and women who gave so much to see the national monument created in honor of their service," he said.
The trip planned for Sept. 17 is free and open to all WWII vets. Chartered coaches will depart from Brewster and transport the veterans to Washington, where wreaths will be placed at the memorial to honor all WWII vets residing in the immediate area.
Ball is working with the Heroes in Transition organization which is accepting donations to help pay for the transportation and food for the veterans.
Sponsorships range from $25 lunch sponsors to $1,000 bus sponsors.
Checks payable to Heroes in Transition may be sent to 22 Bates Road, Mashpee, MA 02649.
Veterans interested in attending are asked to call Ball's District Office in Brewster at 279-3773. (ARTICLE)

"Saved my sanity!"
"My mare was going to foal, and I had to go to Indianapolis for my dental license interview which was only offered twice a year, so I had to leave my sis in charge and she knew nothing about foaling. I instructed her to do this while I was gone,a nd notify me of results. It eased my mind becasue she told me there were ""no stars"" when four or five stars on the test strip indicate foaling is soon...I love this product and it is totally accurate, as when I returned I was able to use it myself and i knew the exact day the mare was going to foal. No more sleepless nights!!"
"Don't foal without it"
"These are very reliable foaling indicators. I've used other brands, but I think these are the easiest to ""read"". I will always have these on hand during foaling season. Highly recommend."

Dukes Lose at Richmond in Final Second, 72-71
February 1, 2005 Daon Merritt answered a Martin Osimani 3-pointer by racing the length of the court in the final six seconds to hit an acrobatic off-balance layup with eight-tenths of a second remaining to give Richmond a 72-71 win over Duquesne at Robins Center. The Dukes, who were down five with 2:16 left, rallied to take a 68-67 lead on a pair of Bryant McAllister free throws with 59 seconds left. Seven seconds later, Richmond's Jamaal Scott hit two free throws to put the Spiders back in front. Andres Sandoval got a piece of a McAllister jumper with 26 seconds left and the Dukes fouled Merritt three seconds later. Merritt hit one of two to make the score 70-68 with 23 seconds left. Duquesne then worked the ball until a triple-teamed McAllister found Osimani at the top of the key. Osimani drilled a 21-foot 3-pointer with :06.2 on the clock setting up Merritt's dramatic coast-to-coast drive. Freshman DeVario Hudson led four Dukes in double figures with a career-high 20 points. He also added a game-high 11 rebounds in posting his second career double-double. McAllister and Higgins finished with 15 each for the Dukes, and Kieron Achara notched his sixth double-double of the season with 11 points and 10 boards. Kevin Steenberge led Richmond with 19 points. Jermaine Bucknor and Merritt finished with 15 each for the Spiders. Duquesne hit seven of its first 10 shots in jumping out to a 17-3 lead. The Dukes' lead reached 15 on a Sean McKeon layup with 12:03 left in the half. Richmond, which misfired on nine of its first 10 shots rallied to cut the DU lead to 37-30 at the half.
Richmond opened the second half with a 13-2 run to take a 43-39 lead with 15:05 to go. There were seven ties and six lead changes the rest of the way as neither team managed a lead of more than five. Duquesne, which outshot Richmond 46.4 percent to 37.3 percent, turned the ball over 17 times to 7 for UR. Richmond outscored Duquesne 30-7 in points off turnovers and enjoyed a 38-24 advantage in second chance points. Duquesne returns to the court on Saturday, Feb. 5 as they travel to Saint Joseph's for a 4:00 pm, Atlantic 10 Television contest. |

European Highlights Tour
12 Nov 2012 Shell087 asked
Hey everyone,
I am going on the European Highlights tour in April next year, i am going solo which is a bit scary but im so excited. So i was wondering if anyone had done this one and can give me any kinds of tips on how to pack and what it is like??? Any help would be great =)

Hi. I did a very similar tour to yours 3 years ago. I went to every city you're visiting.
Every tour group is different. You might get people who are quiet, people who want to party all night, couples, singles, people from different countries. It's a mixed bag. I had a lot of Aussies on my tour so I felt right at home.Generally there are a lot of younger people on the shorter tours as they are more affordable and fit in with uni holidays. You won't be the only one travelling solo. There is plenty of time to meet people before the tour. I ran into my tour mates by chance at the pub at the Royal National the night before departure. Everyone ends up like a big family at the end of the tour.
What is it like? It is a blast! Contiki do a fantastic job at making sure you see much as possible and have the time of your life. The tour guides are fun, very helpful and knowledgable. I packed light, loose fitting clothes, a compact lightweight sleeping bag. Make sure to bring a couple of towels. Bring things to entertain yourself on the bus. The drives between cities are long and you won't be spending the whole time talking to people. A neck pillow is a good thing to pack also. The weather in April can get a bit cool so bring some warmer clothes with you, especially for the eveningings.
Also, look into the optional activities. They might not all be in your budget but try and sign up to as many as you can. I definitely recommend you do the Parisian dinner optional activity as it is on the first night and its a great way to break the ice and get to know everyone on your tour. Also don't miss out on the Bavarian beer hall activity. It is the most fun I have had in my life. Everyone really gets into the celebrations and the food and beer is amazing.
Sorry for the long essay. I hope my advice helps. If you have any specific questions don't be afraid to ask me :)

Forecasters say much of Iowa is seeing snowflakes fly today while south-central Iowa could get as much as eight or nine inches of snow by Wednesday morning.
Meteorologist Jim Lee at the National Weather Service says there will be snow off-and-on much of the day, with heavier snow late this afternoon. By this evening, he says the big problem will be the winds whipping up the new-fallen flakes…
"We're looking for increasing northwest-to-north winds tonight, particularly after sunset, reaching speeds of 15 to 25 miles an hour with higher gusts tonight," Lee says. "We're not expecting blizzard conditions but we will see some blowing and drifting of snow that will primarily effect travel."
When the snow quits flying, Lee says the frigid weather will settle in.
As for our area, we are under a Winter Storm Warning until noon tomorrow.

Tech Tuesday: Scanning Documents - Getting it Right the First Time
My goal at ScanFest was to scan some archival original letters and family documents. Since there are many of these that will need to be scanned, I also wanted to set up a scanning profile that would give good results without needing to do touch-ups later in photo-editing software. This is not a strategy recommended for photos.
One of the more important tips came from Brett Payne of Photo-Sleuths who suggested using a backing sheet when scanning photos. This technique was also invaluable for scanning documents as it makes the edges of the paper more prominent removing any doubt that the scan might not be a complete image of the original.
Most scanners have profiles that can be set and saved for a particular task. For archival documents, the base settings I used were:
Output resolution: 300 ppi
Output Type: Color
File Type: TIF
Save to File: My Scans > Date
Base File Name: STR_DOC_00001 (with automatic incrementing set for subsequent scans)
No sharpening
In the scanner software, I was able to make these settings the default for one of the scan buttons. Scanning in color was recommended by the other participants in ScanFest and also in Ctein's Digital Restoration from Start to Finish. A relatively low output resolution was used since it is unlikely these items will ever be used in a print publication - the few that might were scanned at 600 ppi.
The TIF file format was chosen because it is a popular loss-less format that is likely to be supported by most applications. Should I wish to post to the internet, converting the file from a TIF file to a JPG file is easily done in Lightroom and most other photo editing and cataloging programs. Since I use cataloging software to manage my digital collection, I chose not to use descriptive names for the items.
Without making any other adjustments, the settings resulted in the following scan (converted here to jpg and 75 ppi):
The image fairly closely matches the original but is actually lighter and brighter! Navigating to the Lighten/Darken settings in the scanner, there were several corrections being automatically applied by the scanner: Highlights 35, Shadows -16, Midtones 0, Gamma 1.8. Resetting highlights to 0 produced an infinitely better image. Resetting shadows to 0 had minimal effect.
Gamma optimizes the contrast and brightness of the midtones in the image. From past experience, changing the gamma settings can often make it easy to read even the lightest documents without overly darkening the entire image. Small adjustments to gamma settings can make big changes in the image.
Resetting gamma to 1.5 (.3 lower) and all the other settings to 0 produced a much more legible image and removed the glare that was present in the default scan. The image below is nearly identical to the original. For this scan, it would not have been necessary to reset the gamma. The ink had faded more in some of the other documents and the gamma had to be set even lower to get a legible scan.
The remainder of the documents were scanned by resetting the automatic corrections to 0 and adjusting the gamma to make the document legible - no subsequent image adjustments required!
If you have any tips or tricks to make scanning archival documents faster, better or quicker, please share them in the comments!

Sounds like a fun time to me. My scanning of such things are done pretty quickly right on my own computer through the printer....this is my most favorite printer ever! It does everything I need it too...and now with joining in on Sepia Saturday I am scanning things right out of family albums ....or if I get copies from the Minnesota History Center I just scan the photo and presto it's on my computer or I can delete it too!
ReplyDeleteKaren, You should join us at ScanFest! The documents I was scanning needed a lot of help. They were too faint to produce a legible copy and benefited tremendously from a little boost.
My son has a combo printer/scanner that typically creates pretty good copies/scans. I like the extra control and features I get with my standalone scanner - especially the trays for scanning slides.Lauren,
Oh my! I had to laugh when I read your comment. I am truly afflicted - flatbed, wand, flip-pal and Canon P-150 portable sheet feed scanner. Each has its own unique purpose.
The Canon P-150 handles photocopies really well and doesn't make the annoying adjustments that my flatbed scanner does. But, there is no way I would put an archival document into the sheet feed scanner. :)
Loved your post on organization structures and incorporating NGS recos into your digital organization system. I am almost entirely digital now but I also have copies of almost everything in paper files as well. There are too many crashed hard drives in my past.

Jilted Wolverhampton lover gouged ex with broken mug
A spurned woman took revenge after she suspected her former lesbian lover had found a new partner, a court heard.
Lucy Russell, a 25-year-old business studies student, smashed her way into her ex-lover's home and attacked her with a mug, Wolverhampton Crown Court heard.
When that shattered she continued the attack with its jagged handle, gouging wounds to the victim's ear, left arm and right thigh, leaving her permanently scarred, Mr Gary Cook, prosecuting, told the court. The violence only stopped when police burst into the house in Melbury Close, Merridale, and pulled Russell off the 21-year-old.
Mr Cook said the victim alerted police after she was woken by a banging noise and the defendant shouting outside. She then found Russell in the kitchen, where a window had been broken. "The defendant picked up a mug from the table and struck her former partner a number of times with it until it broke," said Mr Cook.
"She continued with the broken handle, pulling it down the skin of the victim."
The victim said in a statement: "I thought she was going to kill me and am frightened she will come back to finish the job."
Miss Kate Thomas, defending, said: "Miss Russell had been in a volatile relationship with the other woman and suspected that her former partner was being unfaithful."
Mother-of-three Russell, of Lime Street, Penn Fields, has previous convictions for offences including robbery and wounding.
Judge Michael Challinor told her: "This paints a picture of a very violent young woman." She pleaded guilty to wounding with intent and was jailed for four years with a five-year extended licence.

Chloé Morrison, Nooga.com: Meditation is not about clearing the mind fully; it's not about not thinking.
It's about focusing the mind; it's about training the mind to stop its chaotic cycle of obsessive, counterproductive thoughts.
It's about focusing on the present moment, the value of which can only truly be felt through practice. (And once you start really noticing the present moment, you recognize how much we are in a zombielike, autopilot mode for too much of our lives.)
But it's inevitable that thoughts scamper into our minds during meditation, and that point is often confusing to anyone who hasn't practiced.
As opposed to …
Blayne Pereira, CMI: What is it? Like many buzzwords, it can be difficult to pinpoint an exact (and concise) definition for 'mindfulness'.
Professor Mark Williams of the University of Oxford, one of the world's leading researchers in the field, has given a comprehensive description of mindfulness.
"It is a translation of a word that simply means awareness," he says. "It's direct, intuitive knowing of what you are doing while you are doing it. It's knowing what's going on inside your mind and body, and what's going on in the outside world as well. Most of the time our attention is not where we intend …
Erin Sharaf, Edutopia: By objective measures, our young people are more anxious, more depressed, and have more psychopathology in general than students did a few decades ago. This has important implications for educators, school administrators, and society at large. What if our traditional school systems are unwittingly contributing to the problem — and what if a relatively simple practice could help?
As we are all well aware, the current educational system is narrowing its definition of what defines student success. It's almost all cognitive knowing, as evidenced by standardized testing. The pros and cons of that system have been widely debated, so I won't rehash them here. However, a …
Meditation MP3 – Guided Meditations for Stress Reduction PRWEB: Practicing mindfulness at work can reduce retaliation by employees who feel treated unfairly.
Mindful employees are less angry, less likely to dwell on the mistreatment and less likely to retaliate, according to a new study by PhD student Erin Cooke Long and Professor Michael S. Christian of the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School,
"When employees think they have an unfair boss or colleague or the organization is unfair, they might be tempted to seek retribution or act in ways to 'even the score,'" said Cooke Long. "Mindfulness helps them short-circuits emotions and negative thoughts so that they can respond more constructively."
Their study is … Read more »
Meditation MP3 – Mindfulness Meditations for Teens (complete album) Colleen Ricci, The Age: Mindfulness meditation – the practice of quietening the mind to bring awareness and attention to the present moment – is increasingly being used in schools around the world as a tool to improve student wellbeing and enhance academic performance. Although originating in Buddhist religious tradition, it is a secular form of the practice that has become popular in classrooms and workplaces.
One particular program making headway on an international scale is the Britain-based Mindfulness in Schools Project. It provides two main courses designed specifically by teachers for …
Guided Mindfulness Meditation: A Complete Guided Mindfulness Meditation Program from Jon Kabat-Zinn Moeeow County Sentinal: A friend has become a big believer in the power of mindfulness. Recently she said she thinks it has helped improve her marriage. I thought mindfulness was really just a new word for meditation. How can it help with relationships with other people?
While meditation can help a person develop mindfulness, the practice of being mindful is more than meditation. And some studies do suggest that mindfulness can help strengthen relationships.

Meditation MP3 – Guided Meditations for Stress Reduction by Bodhipaksa Noreen Seebacher, CMS Wire: Midway between juxtaposed thoughts about a report I was struggling to complete and a phone call I just missed, I decided to check my email, look at LinkedIn and scan my Facebook feed – all while taking a brisk morning stroll in beautiful Beaufort, S.C., what I have come to consider one of the most pleasant places on the planet.

Meditation MP3 – Mindfulness of Breathing Carolyn Gregoire, Huffington Post: First came the declarations that mindfulness was "having a moment." Then came the backlash.
A number of publications (this one included) called 2014 the "year of mindfulness," and a Time cover story went so far as to proclaim a "mindful revolution" in American culture. Everyone from Rupert Murdoch to Anderson Cooper to Lena Dunham spoke out about the virtues of meditation, and mindfulness — the cultivation of a focused, non-judgmental awareness on the present moment — swiftly made its way from spiritual retreat centers to public …
Stress-Proof Your Brain, by Rick Hanson (2CDs) This article is about developing the skill of mindful presence.
Let's unpack those two words, mindful presence.
Mindfulness is simply a clear, non-judgmental awareness of your inner and outer worlds. In particular, it's an awareness of the flow of experience in your inner world – an alert observing of your thoughts, emotions, body sensations, desires, memories, images, personality dynamics, attitudes, etc.
When you are mindful of something, you are observing it, not caught up in it and not identified with it. The psychological term, "the observing ego" – considered to be essential for healthy functioning – refers to this capacity (i.e., mindfulness) to detach from the stream of … Read more »
Ed Halliwell, Mindful: In my last blog, I wrote that I had been experimenting with a slightly adapted working definition of mindfulness—"the awareness and approach to life that arises from paying attention on purpose, fully present, with curiosity and compassion." This is a small shift from the most common modern definition of mindfulness, which describes the practice as 'non-judgemental.' Misunderstanding of 'non-judgement' has, I believe, has led to some unjustified criticisms, which suggest that mindfulness is ethically groundless or passive.
Mindfulness is just not neutral noticing. There are a clear set of attitudes which underpin the practice, and compassion may be the most …

NFL draft: Barkley finds silver lining in Philly
Matt Barkley had trouble sleeping Friday night, and who could blame him? Like just about everyone else, the quarterback from Mater Dei High and USC had expected to be drafted by then, on his way to starting a new life, to fulfilling a dream.
He awakened early Saturday morning and shared a walk and prayer with his fiancée. But they made sure to hurry back to his parents' house in Newport Beach for the 9 a.m. start of Round 4 of the 2013 NFL draft. With several passers still available, the quarterback market was bound to pick up.
And just like that, frustration turned into jubilation.
The Philadelphia Eagles traded up three spots to snatch Barkley with the first pick of the fourth round, adding to their eclectic QB mix and ending Barkley's interminable wait.
"The first pick," Barkley said by phone later Saturday morning. "What do you know about that?"
Barkley kept his sense of humor intact and his wits about him during a difficult couple of days. His slide from the top of the first round – his perceived position after a standout junior season – to the fourth round or lower had become one of the draft's most confounding narratives.
"I wasn't freaking out or anything. I wasn't pacing back and forth. But there was tension," Barkley said. "It was just a little frustrating. It was a surprising and odd draft to a lot of people, not just us."
After only three quarterbacks came off the board in the first three rounds, four were taken in the fourth. It wasn't surprising that the Eagles, under first-year coach Chip Kelly, were among the teams to pick one. But of all the possible destinations for Barkley, Philadelphia wasn't at the top of the list.
Barkley's critics said he needed to play in a West Coast offense in a city where weather wouldn't be a factor. Philly offers neither.
What it does have is a coach who proved to be one of college football's most innovative offensive minds while helping transform Oregon into a national power. Although he had running quarterbacks operating his hyperactive spread-option offense in college – and Michael Vick is atop the Eagles' depth chart right now – Kelly said mobility isn't a prerequisite. He'll cater his scheme to his personnel, not the other way around.
"In this league you need to be able to throw the football, and that's the first skill set that we're looking for," Kelly told Philadelphia reporters. "Repetitive accuracy is the No. 1 quality we're looking for."
Kelly also came away impressed with Barkley's poise, remembering how he seemed unfazed as a freshman making his seventh career start at deafening Autzen Stadium. In 2011, Barkley and the Trojans dealt the Ducks their first home defeat under Kelly in three seasons.
Unlike many others, Kelly believes Barkley's arm is strong enough to make him an effective pro.
"We're not trying to knock over milk cartons at a county fair," Kelly said. "It's about if you can put the ball in the right spot at the right time. I've seen that over the course of Matt's career."
In the end, Barkley said, it doesn't matter when you get drafted; it's about what you do afterward. "It doesn't say 'Barkley Fourth Round' on my jersey," he told ESPN, "it's just going to say 'Barkley.'"
But he won't soon forget what transpired this week.
"You know me. I'm going to look at it from a positive perspective," Barkley said. "But if it doesn't cut deep, if it doesn't affect you at all, there's something wrong with your competitive attitude. This will definitely spur me on."

I just installed XBMCbuntu 11.0 on my Acer Revo RL100 U20P (dual-boot with Win7), configuring it for automatic login. First time I booted XBMC came up as expected. Once I discovered that "Exit" in the menu under XBMC's power-icon button got me to a login screen, I switched over to XBMCbuntu and found...nothing. The desktop is completely blank; no icons, no panels. I can right-click on the desktop to get a very short menu that offers a terminal window, a small configuration dialog for selecting the desktop font (which doesn't appear to change anything) and a couple of other choices like 'reconfigure' and 'exit'. All choices but the terminal and configuration dialog serve only to make whatever displays the menu stop working altogether. Worse, now that I've shut down from XBMCbuntu, that's where my automatic login takes me every time.
Is a blank desktop the intended default condition on the Ubuntu side?
Can someone suggest some packages to install to get a panel with at least a logout button?
Linux - XBMCbuntu desktop is empty

are you sure you chose "XBMCBuntu" and not "openbox"?
xbmcbuntu looks like http://www.byopvr.com/wp-content/uploads...cbuntu.png

I get the same thing but finally get the trick after 2 reboots ... It doesn't come from XBMCBuntu but from the display screen (my Samsung TV). The TV was set by default to the 16/9 mode and crop pixels all around the picture (a kind of zoom). So I get only the blue background screen with the logo without seeing any menu. Switching the TV in scan mode restore the missing pixels on the display. Regards |

neil.j1983, it's funny you say that because one of the messages from one of the menu selections said something about openbox. (The text is too small to read, which is the problem I'm trying to solve.) What I see looks just like the image at your link, though, minus the panel on the bottom.
flonews, I suspect yours is the right answer. I recall now that had a similar problem with Win7, but its task bar is thick enough that part of it was still visible on the edge of the screen. I fished around off the edges of XBMCbuntu's desktop but did not click anything interesting. With neil.j1983's screen shot as a guide I'll have another go tonight. Thanks for your help. -evan |

The missing panels were, of course, there, but off the screen. Thanks again, flonews, for pointing that out. I also managed to locate the Openbox configuration dialog and set larger fonts, but that seems to only affects the fonts used by desktop context menu itself; the start menu and other dialogs continue to use unreadably-small fonts. neil.j1983, thanks for the additional information. My HTPC has an Nvidia card, so the link is especially pertinent.
As I was sitting on the floor in front of my TV with a keyboard in my lap and a mouse an awkward reach away, it occurred to me that I'd be better off setting up remote access on the HTPC so I can sit at my regular computer in a comfortable chair when I need to do configuration or other computer-like things to it. Once I get a minimally-functional desktop configured to work with the TV I'll install xrdp and likely never visit it again. -evan |

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky |
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky reviewReviewed September 20, 2008Lewis Denby says: "There was a point about halfway through the new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. when I realised I was playing a radically different game to the one I started a couple of days previously. The change is a gradual one, but by the time the phenomenal ambition of the early levels has become a mere memory, it's certainly noticeable. There's a conflict of interest at the heart of Clear Sky between radically open warfare and traditional first-person shooting. Neither of these facets achieves its aims perfectly, but there remains a lot to love about GSC Game World's latest creation..." |

First off my apologies for the lack of updates. I've only been updating from my phone at work as time allows. Though I have made some small progress!
Thanks for the info on slurry. I am hoping only to use the guar gum to bind the water a hair so it doesn't all mist away. After seeing the video above though, I may not need it at all! I did get a mock up belly tank together using card stock (like pepakura) to test the drop system. I still have to coat the paper in 2 part plastic to water proof it and make it stronger. I'll do some static drops then do some drops in front of a ppv fan which should generate close to 30-40 mph winds. I'll take some video and post up the results. Awesome video!!! Makes me quite excited to know that there is hope of making this work and look good! Ive looked high and low for a video like that with no luck. I have been working a little on the wing. I think there is some hope of salvaging whats already been cut. I feel like even with the redesign i would still face the same issues. I promise as soon as I get back I'll get some proof that im actually working on it! |
Hey Midnight,
If you're not too far along in your design, Flying Models magazine had a plan and construction article for an electric RC P-3 Orion a couple of years back. I think it was about 48" span, but you could easily scale it up if you were so inclined. I'll dig it out if you'd like. Steve |
I've seen a couple pictures of that P-3. Its the only scale RC P-3 I could find any pictures of, and I only found a handful. I think right now I'm ready to, well, wing it. I will keep that in mind though should I have a major set back with the path I'm on.
So finally some pictures as promised of the small amount of progress. The belly tank mock up is pretty rough and still needs the 2 part plastic coating on the cardstock. Its already been a big help in showing me some tweaks that will need to be made to the design. Hope to have some more wing ribs cut out and maybe even attached this weekend, but its already thurs isnt it! Thanks again for all the info and support! ImagesView all Images in thread
You might have already considered this, but just in case you haven't, be sure to design baffles into your tank design to prevent the water from sloshing around inside the tank
Awsome Keep it Up!!
Used to live in Mountain View, CA. right next to Moffatt Field NAS. They have been fly'in Lockeed P-3 Orions over there forever. Good to see someone doing a complete scratch build. I believe it's for the most part easier than the older style kit builds. but be sure to expose yourself to all the designs possible as far as wing termination, mounting, fuse forming w/ balsa. All the "taken for granted" things that "we" scratchbuilders undertake. It's a design task at least and it always ongoing. Hardly nothing is for certin except a few basic expectations. That is what makes this (your) undertaking so special & increatable. The P-3 Orion is one of the most overpowered and still smooth flyers out there. This aircraft is really cool. Good luck & I'll be watching your progress.
Good build'in Doug |
Subbed. I've always wanted to do one of the NOAA Hurricane Hunter WP-3D Orions someday (after I do their twotter that I flew on). I've been on board the "Ms Piggy" Orion during a tour of the facilities there, but didn't fly in it.
I'm still in the planning stages for this to some extent. I have almost all of the design done on the computer now, I just need to upgrade my license on the software so I can send it to be CNCed. I originally intended to just hand cut all of the pieces, but I did not have the patience and there where quite a bit of anomalies in the cut ribs that made me concerned. Not to mention with a hobby knife, time consuming.
The more I read about the Aero Union and the P-3s, it doesn't sound like they will ever fly to fight fires in the US again, which makes me want to finish this project all that much more. However with that being said, I have the opportunity to pursue my Private pilot and hopefully on to my commercial rating with the intent to fly SEATs(yes sir! single engine air tankers!) I just got my headset in today in the mail and I'm quite excited. So as you can imagine, most of my funding is heading that way. I still plan on acquiring the license I need and send the wings and fuselage to be cut sometime in July. So don't give up on my yet! |
Don't worry. I'm still here! Glad to see that you're still working at it! I would love to see what it turns out to be

Ulmer: Phaneuf Should Be Leafs Next Captain
by Mike Ulmer / Toronto Maple LeafsRELATED: Ulmer: The Kids Are Alright |
RELATED VIDEO: Burke Talks Phaneuf | Leafs TV On Phaneuf & Jiggy |
DISCUSS IT ON: Leafspace | Twitter | Facebook |
If you ask Dion Phaneuf a question, he will invariably pause.
This is your internal monologue during that pause.
"One Mississippi.
Two Mississippi.
Three Mississippi.
Did he hear me?
Is he going to kill me?"
Turns out, Phaneuf isn't planning on killing anyone. He is just thinking about his answer and he is taking his time. It's your question but it's his answer so he is going to give you the one he wants. If it takes a second or two longer to do that, well then that's too bad.
The air is thick with Dion Phaneuf stories, often conveyed by coach Ron Wilson whose feeling for what the public can know from the Leafs dressing makes him a far better source than the rank and file.
There was the story, shared by Wilson, about Phaneuf walking into the dressing room during his first Leafs practice and cranking the stereo. The message in the gesture was plain enough: "if you're not comfortable, then that's too bad."
Wilson cites Phaneuf for the internal leadership needed to badger and encourage the team to play with energy from the outset.
The Leafs have scored the first goal in eight of the 16 games Phaneuf has played. That's 50 per cent for you scoring along at home. They managed the opening goal just 19 times in the 56 games (29 per cent) before his arrival.
The Leafs penalty kill during Phaneuf's tenure has operated at a dramatically improved 84 per cent mark.
From calling for every pass when it's his turn in a drill, a favourite indicator of enthusiasm and professionalism for Leafs GM Brian Burke, to the way he comports himself in every avenue and the reverence he shows toward the sweater, Phaneuf has positioned himself at the centre of the dressing room and filled a chasm brought on by the departure of the great Mats Sundin.
Phaneuf's personal stats are a little harder to get a read on. After scoring 10 times in Calgary he has yet to break through in 16 games here. Likewise his goalscoring has trended steadily downhill since he scored 20 in his rookie year. He has 27 points this season, two more than fellow defenceman Francois Beauchemin who is not considered one of the gifted offensive defencemen of his era.
"He (Phaneuf) hasn't produced number wise but with his shot and his speed we expect that will come around," said Burke.
Phaneuf logs prodigious ice time. He has bettered 25 minutes a dozen times and he has one 30-minute game under his belt.
One stat trumps all the others. The Leafs, doormats for most of the season, have gone 9-6-1 with Phaneuf and Jean-Sebastien Giguere in harness. Clearly, these two have filled a need that goes further than the more appealing goals against column.
Phaneuf is the player who best embodies Burke's view that you need a bit of Rock 'Em and a bit of Sock 'Em.
The thing is, you can't fight every fight or level every player cradling a pass in open ice.
The wise player supplements energy with menace. You don't have to do as much as long as everyone knows you can. That's the way it is in the playground. That's the way it was in Dodge City. That's the way it is in the NHL.
That menace, the one that somehow seeps through when Dion Phaneuf casually answers questions, is what will someday make him the 17th Leaf to wear the "C". You need about two minutes with the guy to feel it.
To me, that's why Dion Phaneuf's hand will soon extend far beyond the locker room stereo.

If there's one symbol that conveys the power, secrecy, responsibilities, and brinkmanship of the modern presidency it's the red phone, the direct line of communication from the White House to Moscow. Funny thing though: It's a myth. There never was any red phone.
Following the Cuban Missile Crisis, during which messages traveling between the two superpowers could take half a day to reach their destinations, American and Soviet leaders agreed that they needed a faster and more secure way to communicate. In a memorandum from June 1963, the two powers agreed that "for use in time of emergency the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics" ought to "establish as soon as technically feasible a direct communications link between the two Governments." But the result was not a red phone. As Tom Clavin writes at Smithsonian:
The use of the word "direct" in the memo's title was a bit misleading; there was no red phone involved. Messages sent to the Soviet Union on the wire telegraph circuit were routed on a 10,000-mile-long transatlantic cable from Washington to London to Copenhagen to Stockholm to Helsinki and finally to Moscow.
Still, it was a start. Soon after the agreement, four American-made teletype machines were flown to Moscow and installed in the Kremlin. An equal number of machines manufactured in East Germany were shipped to the Soviet Embassy in Washington. They were delivered not to the White House but to the Pentagon, which has remained home to the "hotline" ever since. The two sides also exchanged encoding devices so that the Americans could translate received messages into English and the Soviets could translate messages into Russian on their end.
The hotline was up and running by the end of August of 1963. John F. Kennedy, assassinated just three months later, never had cause to use it.

Allen & Co.'s annual summer Sun Valley, Idaho event starts next week. As usual, it's where the world's top media moguls gather to talk shop and enjoy swanky outdoor family activities, joining a who's who guest list. This year that includes billionaires Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg.
Rupert Murdoch, Google chairman Eric Schmidt, Amazon chief exec Jeff Bezos and Apple CEO Tim Cook are also on the roster for mogul Herbert Allen's sunny conference, along with New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The Sun Valley gathering has been the site of some of the media world's biggest deals, including cabler Comcast's purchase of NBC Universal. Remember when Zuckerberg donated $100 million to Newark schools a week prior to the release of "The Social Network"? The wheels of that deal began turning at Sun Valley, when the Facebook tycoon was introduced to Booker.
Other attendees to Sun Valley, now in its 30th year, include NBC CEO Les Moonves, IACI Chairman Barry Diller, Dreamworks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg and Michael Eisner.

When the Suns made Michael Beasley their free-agency priority in July, he became the team's X-factor.
When the Suns reached the season's quarter pole this week, Beasley was close to becoming the team's ex-starter.
Some math problems just don't have a solution no matter how long you stare. Beasley's results for the first 20 games did not add up to projections of a new go-to player. The team's most prolific shooter has the worst shooting percentage in the rotation and has to be left off the floor in crunch situations because he can't be trusted defensively.
More than falling shy of being a scoring star, Beasley is not even playing like he had in his first four seasons. A career 45.5 percent shooter, he is at 37.4 this season.
This is not his second chance. Minnesota was that, and he was benched in the second season.
Like Miami and Minnesota, the Suns had optimistic projections for the No. 2 choice in the 2008 draft. But nobody geared teams around Hasheem Thabeet, Marvin Williams, Darko Milicic, Jay Williams or Stromile Swift, other No. 2 draft picks of this millennium.
The patience for Beasley has been as extraordinary as the attention he gets from the basketball staff, with General Manager Lance Blanks taking on a mentoring role. But when coach Alvin Gentry said Thursday that the staff needs to look at other options, it was clear that the next move would involve Beasley — who at that moment was having a heart-to-heart chat from President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby.
The Suns already gave the lineup a makeover without touching Beasley. Gentry continued to design plays at the start of both halves each game to get Beasley going. From the top of the organization to the locker room, many wonder why Beasley continues to start what he can't finish, while P.J. Tucker has been fantastic defensively.
Beasley has the league's worst plus-minus ratio (point difference when players are in and out of a game). After Thursday's game, he is at minus-141 points.
"I'm frustrated with everything," Beasley said before Thursday's game. "I'm frustrated with my production, with the fact that our record is the way it is. My role is definitely going to be what I make it.
"I'm going to do my part. Starting tonight, it's going to be a whole new Beasley."
Beasley is on his fourth coach in four years but said he is on board with Gentry and feels better about the support he gets in Phoenix over any previous stop. The Suns have not seen a return on their investment of time or money. Beasley signed a three-year, $18 million contract with Phoenix when there was no known competition beyond some interest from Detroit. The Suns needed a go-to player but they would have been better served turning to O.J. Mayo, who visited later in July but was not interested in a reserve role. Mayo returned to town with the Mavericks on Thursday as the NBA's eighth-leading scorer on a $4 million contract behind seven maximum-level or near-maximum players.
"Your evaluation is maybe you can steal this guy and he'll be like an Andray Blatche, who all of a sudden has the light come on," TNT analyst Mike Fratello said. "Blatche didn't play hard and was out of shape but now he's been terrific. Who's that person on the Suns that you're hanging your hat on and saying we're going to ride? I'm not sure I could say who."
Beasley's behavior has been curious at times. After the loss at New York, the 23-year-old said, "I'm just along for the ride." In Tuesday's loss at Memphis, the game was tied with 15.9 seconds remaining when Beasley emerged from the huddle with his head hung but smiling. He walked down the sideline to inbound, talking to the crowd and then to Rudy Gay to make him smile before his pass, just as he had on the previous go-ahead play. After Jermaine O'Neal's miss to win, he walked back to the bench smiling.
After a timeout in overtime, Beasley rifled a one-handed pass as the inbound directly to Memphis' Darrell Arthur in the lane, prompting Grizzlies announcers to say "What in the world was Beasley thinking?" and "What was that?" simultaneously.
Beasley's solution is to have more fun. Smile more. Since the season began, he said his shooting has been bothered by a sore pinky finger that does not fully bend.
"That's the one thing I could always rely on — when I shoot it, it's going in," Beasley said. "I guess I've just got to go a little harder."
But if the Suns keep having four-game losing streaks with Beasley averaging 7.3 points, there will be more talks. The next one might be about a reserve role.
"Everybody here generally cares about you, not only about basketball but your well-being," Beasley said. "Sometimes, I'm just like, 'Man, I don't feel like talking.' I say that it in a good way, in a caring sense. Sometimes, you feel like you're five years old. Sometimes, you feel like you're a responsible adult."

The CETIS UKOLN Hack days was a two day event hacking content, systems and services for open educational resources on the 31 Mar & 1 Apr 2011 in Manchester. This event was organised under the DevCSI and OER Technical Interest Group initiatives. The aim was to bring together software developers, project managers, academics, learning technologists, researchers and users who were interested in hacking OER content, systems and services.
During the event, delegates working in multi-disciplinary teams to work on ideas that had been suggested before and at the beginning of the hack days. The links below show those ideas that were worked on and developed during the day and, just for the record, some of the ideas which weren't picked up by a team.
Some initial reflections on the event by John Robertson are available on his blog, and a more in-depth review of the hack days by Kirsty Pitkin appeared in Ariadne.
The following ideas were suggested, but not developed during the day.

There you go, there is one of those Iglesias plays.
Detroit Tigers: 68-46, 1st Place (7 ahead of Cleveland).
Sneaking under the radar a bit: Detroit Tigers, American League's Best Record.
Well all good things must come to an end, and the Tigers' winning streak finally topped out at 12–but not without some excitement. After failing to take advantage of several early inning opportunities, the Tigers went into the 9th inning down 3-1. A double by Austin Jackson set the stage for a two-out classic confrontation between Miguel Cabrera and the great Mariano Rivera, and after two quick strikes (and a foul shot off of his knee), Cabrera struck, with a massive home run to dead center.
Torii Hunter: "they should make movie from that at-bat."
Unfortunately, the Tigers again failed to take advantage of runners on base in the top of the 10th, and Al Alburquerque couldn't hold the Yankees in the 9th. Was there any doubt of the outcome once Alburquerque came into the game? Unfortunately the Tigers had already burned through Coke, Bonderman, Smyly, Rondon, and Veras, and didn't have much choice (although Veras might have been able to handle one more inning).
Cabrera has a bandaged left shin, but will be in the lineup. Prince Fielder gets a "day off" at DH, with Victor Martinez digging out his glove and taking first. And Leyland is hoping Don Kelly will run into one in the 6th spot.
For the Yankees, Alex Rodriguez gets the day off, with Jayson Nix at 3rd.
Omar Infante's rehab assignment, finally, is progressing: last night he was 2-for-4. The Tigers are tentatively shooting for Monday for Infante's return. They certainly could use the punch in the bottom third of the lineup.
Today's Player of the Pre-game: Don Kelly. The struggling Andy Dirks gets the day off, and the Donkey takes aim at that short RF porch.
Today's Let's Start a New Streak Lineup:
There you go, there is one of those Iglesias plays.
It wouldn't have been much of a play without VMart at the other end. Prince would not have made the play. Who says that JP would not have positioned himself to have made the play easier on himself and the 1B, without having to make it a highlite-reel play and possibly causing 1B to miss the bad throw.
Neifi Perez (not to be confused with Hernan) had a reputation for making highlight reel plays before he came to Detroit. That may have been part of the reason he was signed. Some guys just have a flair for the dramatic I guess.
Miggy is Superhuman! Two K's for AA so far today ….. who said he isn't concussed?
It's a privilege to watch Cabrera every day.
Just saw the replay of the HR, where that ball was, unbelievable that he could hit it out.
looking back at last night it would have been interesting to see if Inglesias would have gotten to Gardners ground ball that got thru.. that would have beean great indication of his range….
is Joba..the Yankees Albequerque??
Did you know? Joba Chamberlain is one of only 3 Native American players currently on MLB rosters. (Thought I'd get this bit of trivia in while he was still on a MLB roster).
I miss the Alburquerque with the wicked slider that dominated everybody when he first came up. He hasn't been the same since he took that shot to the head.
this makes exactly "0" sense..why use Smyly here when it is a blowout..now he won"t be available tomorrow if its a close game. This is a perfect Coke or Al Al situation…Mumbles is clueless about pitching on a day to day basis…
With the big winning streak, the holes in Leyland's game don't get much attention. For the most part the players have made strategic decision making a minor consideration lately, but they haven't gone away. It seems that when things are going really badly, panic sets in, and when things are going really well, maybe its boredom. But his reaction in those cases is to try his hand at managing, the art of which he is largely inept. It is at these times that you really have to watch out.
Donkey! have a day!!!
Clearly he was inspired by the POPG mention.
Today's game is a perfect illustration of why ERA is generally a meaningless stat for relief pitchers – without fielder's indifference allowing baserunners to advance at will, Bondo doesn't give up a run in the 9th inning.
Saw this quote in the recent Henning article on Jackson's resurgence:
"Jackson has been working overtime in the batting cage to settle down a left leg that is the trigger for his swing – and, when it's not in proper alignment, for his mini-slumps."
But, but, but, I thought batting practice was over-rated.
Unbelievable fact of the day:
Don Kelly is the only Tiger hitter to have more walks than strikeouts – 23/19.
Garcia started his first game with the WSox today.
Yasiel Puig of the Dodgers has had one 2-game HITLESS streak since he came up in June. He can't get enough PAs to qualify for the batting title? He needs 502 and has 254 today with 46 games to play. But, how about NL ROY. With the exception of a maximum of 130 PA from previous seasons (Puig has none), it seems to be up to the BBWA to decide. Who else is in the NL running this year?
HR/RBI watch:
Davis: 42/109
Cabrera: 35/109
Orioles have played one more game.
Nail-biting time for 47-game Beat The Streak guy. He has Justin Upton: 0-for-3 and leading off the bottom of the 9th.
Braves were shut out, and took Braves Fan BTS guy down with them, ending two streaks.

Home, home on ... a significant portion of its range
By Heather Hansen, Red Lodge Clearing House
There's potentially change in the works for the Endangered Species Act (ESA), and the public can weigh in on it through February 7.
The proposed draft rule
by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service
(NOAA)—the two federal agencies responsible for administering the ESA—is
intended to clarify which species, or segments of species, are eligible
for protection.
There's no question we need a tighter interpretation of the ESA. A Bush-era legal opinion, "The Meaning of 'In Danger of Extinction Throughout All or a Significant Portion of Its Range," which had been in place since 2007, allowed some endangered species to be classified under the ESA differently in neighboring states. For example, the policy led to the delisting of the gray wolf in some Western states while not in other adacent ones; a move considered short-sighted by some. But the legal opinion is no longer operative, having been rejected by two federal courts.
The proposed new policy would adopt the concept that a plant or animal could be listed if it's considered threatened or endangered in a "significant portion of its range," even if the threat crosses state lines and even if it does not encompass the species' entire range. A portion of the range would be considered "significant" if the viability of the species relies on it surviving in that particular area.
The "range" itself would be considered the general geographical area where the species is found while its status is being determined, including areas only used during a part of the species' life cycle. The "range" does not include areas where the species has been found historically but no longer dwells.
The agencies proposing the new rule say that it will provide some much-needed uniformity to how the ESA is applied, and that it will actually allow the agencies to legally, proactively protect a species even if it is not endangered throughout its entire range. "This proposed interpretation will provide consistency and clarity for the services and our partners, while making more effective use of our resources and improving our ability to protect and recover species before they are on the brink of extinction," said USFWS Director Dan Ashe.
Industry opponents—including home-building and energy groups—fear the agencies will succeed in expanding ESA protection, and restricting growth, with the change.
Conservations groups also object to the proposed policy but because they believe it will effectively legalize a defeatist approach to protecting our most sensitive species. They say that the proposed policy would allow the agencies to ignore areas not considered biologically important, even if those areas were part of the species' historic range. This narrow view could hasten the demise of some species and force the agencies to enlist ESA protection only when the species is at extinction's door. One example of this "shifting baseline," as it's been critically dubbed by some scientists, is the American plains bison. While the animal once populated much of the West, it now subsists as "wild" in only a handful of areas, but still does not warrant ESA protection.
Another potential problem with the definition is that seems to directly contradict the "basis for determinations" in Section 4 of the ESA statute, which requires that states' efforts to protect a species are taken into account when determining whether or not that species should be listed.
For example, if the (fictional) wild purple-headed donkey—which lives throughout the West—were being considered for ESA protection, the statute requires the agencies to consider the efforts of each state to protect it when deciding whether to list a species. It follows that if Colorado has worked hard to protect the donkey's habitat and food supply, or has limited its predators, they should be rewarded by not having an ESA designation (which has all kinds of regulatory implications) pinned to the donkey's arse, even if a designation is approved for other states with less protective policies. So, for example, if the purple-headed donkey's status is found to be threatened or endangered in both Wyoming and Colorado, but only Colorado has taken steps to protect the species, the donkey would receive protection over its entire range, including Colorado.
If the agencies are hoping that by defining "significant portion of its range" the amount of fighting and suing that goes on over endangered species will decline, they need to reconcile this point first, or the policy will be easily challenged.
Learn more about the agencies' plan to attempt to simplify the ESA, and give voice to our nation's most vulnerable critters.

Loss of appetite
Hi guys.
I'm new not only to peertrainer but to the whole philosophy of living a healthy lifestyle and hopefully losing some weight along the way! So far the community has been great!
But I've got a problem. I've always had a healthy appetite (actually, I've usually had a rather unhealthy one!) but for the past couple of days I just have not felt like eating. This has never happened to me before. I have not been working out more than usual (I haven't been working out at all) and I feel fine, emotionally and hormonally.
Anybody else ever had a similar, sudden loss of appetite? Thanks in advance for any comments!
Sun. Mar 18, 7:47pm
I never have a loss in appetite unfortunately but if you are concerned I would suggest working out. When your body is burning calories it tells you that it needs more
Monday, March 19, 2007, 2:55 AM
yes, when I'm getting sick or I have a lot going on that takes my mind to other places. Are you stressed out?
Monday, March 19, 2007, 9:18 AM
Once I've been dieting for awhile, I start to not have as much appetite as I did before; I just get used to eating less. It's actually usually then when I break through plateaus. I'd say, go with it. Make sure that when you eat, you're getting proteins, fats, veggies, fruits, etc. You need the nutrients. Also, maybe look into a multivitamin. Your appetite will return eventually.
Monday, March 19, 2007, 10:17 AM
Ive experienced the same thing! Ive always had quite a good appetite but about a week ago I just suddenly lost my appetite! I dont feel like eating..a sandwich a day is enough for me and I usually eat MUCH more than that!! =|
Saturday, August 16, 2008, 12:52 PM
My appetite always dies down when I stop eating processed, fatty, etc. foods. The better I eat, the less I'm preoccupied with eating. It's really a win win!
Saturday, August 16, 2008, 2:53 PM
I'm actually going through that feeling myself. Just these last few days I just haven't been hungry. I feel fine emotionally I'm not stressed and there is nothing I can say that would explain my sudden loss of appetite
Saturday, January 31, 2009, 9:22 PM
I've noticed that my appetite often diminishes when the seasons are going through a change. For example lately the amount of increased daylight has gotten really noticable and I find myself more energetic and less hungry. I live in the north though - very close to Canada, so the lack of daylight can really get to one up here. For me it makes me want to hole up and do nothing but eat and sleep all winter, then when summer comes I'm not hungry and could go all day and night!
I'va also had appetitie dimish with sickness, emotional stress and medication.
Saturday, January 31, 2009, 9:46 PM
Hey there, since you are new I would give you advice which no one gave to me except essay services when I
pay for essay writing
. If you want a perfect dietary plan it is eat full breakfast,, then normal lunchc and less at dinner. Moreover walking is essential too

It is usually a great problem for networks to have when all the pilots they've orderered come in strong. But, in the case of Syfy's similarly-themed Alphas and Three Inches, it created a dilemma. Syfy had been looking to launch a series set in the world of real-life superheroes. To increase its chances of success, the network ordered two such pilots, Alphas and Three Inches, "that were slightly different in tone but very similar in subject matter," said Syfy EVP original content Mark Stern. Alphas, from BermanBraun, in-house studio UCP, writers Zak Penn and Michael Karnow and director Jack Bender, stars David Strathairn and follows a team of ordinary citizens who possess extraordinary and unusual mental skills. Three Inches, from writer Harley Peyton, director Jace Alexander and Fox TV Studios, centers on an underachiever (Noah Reid) who can move any object three inches with his mind and recruits a team of fellow heroes. The hope was for one of the pilots to become a series.
Instead, unexpectedly for everyone at the network, "we found ourselves with 2 pilots that we loved," Stern said. "They were both excellent and tested very well. Ultimately it came down to which pilot would work best as an hourlong franchise. We thought they both did but felt Alphas had a little bit more potential for that."
So Syfy on Tuesday gave Alphas an 11-episode series pickup. But it is not giving up on Three Inches just yet and is looking for ways to redevelop it. Usually that is done to fix things a network didn't like in the pilot. Not in this case. "We loved the cast and the directing, and the writing was fantastic but it's very similar to Alphas," Stern said. "Now we have to figure out a way so both show can live on our air."
To differentiate between the two, Syfy is exploring the idea of converting Three Inches to a single-camera half-hour, a genre the network has been actively pursing for the past several months. If the show stays hourlong, Syfy is mulling several scenarios, including making the show "less mission-oriented and more about the characters and their lives or focusing more on the central character played by Reid and not so much on the team." Syfy is high on Reid, whose option is expected to be extended by FtvS along with other key cast members.

Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), also known as TNF, TNFA or TNFSF2, is the prototypic cytokine of the TNF superfamily, and is a multifunctional molecule involved in the regulation of a wide spectrum of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, lipid metabolism, and coagulation. Two receptors, TNF-R1 (TNF receptor type 1; CD120a; p55/60) and TNF-R2 (TNF receptor type 2; CD120b; p75/80), bind to TNF-alpha. TNF-alpha protein is produced mainly by macrophages, and large amounts of this cytokine are released in response to lipopolysaccharide, other bacterial products, and Interleukin-1 (IL-1). TNF-alpha is involved in fighting against the tumorigenesis, thus, is regarded as a molecular insight in cancer treatment.
