I need an answer for those who say that the Catholic Church or opposition to same-sex marriage is "homophobic"?
First, the term homophobic refers to fear of homosexuality. This term often is used by homosexual activists to end rational discussion of the issue by accusing their opponents of having an irrational fear. This is unjust. One can disagree with and be critical of a behavior without having a fear of it. When the charge of "homophobia" is made, it signifies that those making the accusation do not have reasoned responses to their critics, so they switch to portraying their critics as irrational rather than responding to their arguments.
Second, while the Church does recognize homosexuality as disordered, this does not mean that the Church is uncompassionate to those who suffer from the disorder (cf. CCC 2357).

ELIZABETH — New Jersey Trinitas Regional Medical Center was recognized with an "A" Hospital Safety Score by The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit run by employers and other large purchasers of health benefits. The top "A" score was awarded in the latest update to the Hospital Safety ScoreSM, which assigns scores to U.S. hospitals based on preventable medical errors, injuries accidents, and infections.
"Trinitas' recognition as a leader in such a vitally important area as patient safety is a testament to the diligence of our entire healthcare team. Each of our 2,700 employees and 500 physicians shares this dedication, and are equally deserving of this award," explained Gary S. Horan, FACHE, President & Chief Executive Officer of Trinitas.
"Earning an 'A' on the Hospital Safety Score demonstrates that this hospital has exhibited excellence in our national database of patient safety measures," said Leah Binder, President and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. "I'd like to congratulate Trinitas Regional Medical Center for your achievements and encourage you to continue to put a priority on the safety of your patients."
To see Trinitas' scores as they compare nationally and locally, visit the Hospital Safety Score website at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org, which provides information on how the public can protect themselves and loved ones during a hospital stay. Local hospitals' scores are also available on the free mobile app, available at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org.
Calculated under the guidance of The Leapfrog Group's nine-member Blue Ribbon Expert Panel, the Hospital Safety Score uses 26 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to produce a single score representing a hospital's overall capacity to keep patients safe from infections, injuries, and medical and medication errors.

This DTD wouldn't allow size= / face= in , > but require name= corresponding to id= in anchors. Such a requirement is somewhat questionable, since it generally requires considerable modification of nice markup to make it compatible with Netscape 4 class browsers that don't understand id="..." destinations. (That would mean turning
xxx
 into
xxx
.) I mention this in this context just to point out that such issues are controversial, and there's no widely acceptable definition of what should be allowed in "legacy DTD". Naturally you can write your own DTD that allows exactly what you wish to allow. If I had a little more spare time I would write a utility that lets you specify "features" to be included or excluded, via a simple form interface, and generates a DTD corresponding to it. Maybe someone else wishes to do that? Then there would be an answer to all requests for various "legacy DTDs". And it could also allow some common extensions like <embed> and <nobr>, if desired. Well, it could allow _any_ element to be disallowed, just in case a person or organization wishes to refrain from using some elements and have checks against accidental use of them. (This would actually be one of the most useful ways of using a markup validator.) > It could eliminate anything which is not essential for new > and simple pages, e.g. only external CSS as in XHTML basic, > no more , but
 is still okay, > no  without <s>, and some other "XHTML strict" quirks. I don't see why
 would be any better than , or why  should be used together with <s>, but as regards to validation, the first principle is easily implementable, whereas the latter is a bit more difficult - unless you wish to require exactly that  is only allowed with <s> (or ?) as its only content, which is easily describable in a DTD. > For me "transitional" is far too "transitional" and "strict" > is far too "strict". I miss something like "simple", and > it's not the same as "basic". There's a good general point here of course. Authors may wish to avoid certain transitional features and keep using others, maybe changing the division by time, i.e. by moving elements and attributes away from the allowed repertoire. But this is relatively independent of a particular validator. DTDs could be used in any suitable context. What the validator development needs to take note of is the principle that a clear distinction should be drawn between validation and all other activities that checking utility might be involved in. In particular, a validator should simply tell whether a document is valid or not, and report markup errors if not, and _then_ maybe start talking about the weather, or what clothes we should wear, or what HTML design principles we should apply, or whether some heuristics has suggested that the document might syntactically comply with the rules of an SGML application called "HTML". The reason is that documents using customized DTDs can be valid, but not conforming documents (according to the odd rules of HTML that require specific doctype declarations to be used), but it would be rather misleading to say that a document is not valid HTML 4.01, when it (for example) actually complies with HTML 4.01 Strict rules _and_ some additional rules that prohibit presentational features allowed in Struct, _except_ the very rule that requires the use of a specific doctype declaration. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/Received on Tuesday, 20 April 2004 09:21:01 UTC

Our understanding of the heritage HST instruments and the data they produced has matured, but may continue to improve. In order to allow for an evolving understanding and recognizing that some users of heritage data may be working with the active instruments as well, we have organized this handbook so that its chapters are modular. You will be able to update your handbook simply by removing old chapters and indexes and replacing them with new ones. In fact, you may want to customize your handbook by placing only the chapters you need into a looseleaf notebook. When updated chapters become available, we will announce them on the HST Web pages and in the electronic Space Telescope Analysis Newsletters (STANs). You can then download these updates via the Internet or request paper copies from the Help Desk (firstname.lastname@example.com).

April 6, 1928-Sept. 12, 2009
NICEVILLE, Fla. -- Doris Bradshaw Farmer, 81, went home to be with the Lord Saturday.
Funeral services will be held Friday at 2 p.m. at Madison Avenue Baptist Church, with visitation one hour prior to the service. Burial will take place at Wayne Memorial Park.
Born in Wayne County, she was the daughter of the late Willie Earnest and Lossie Belle Eason Bradshaw.
During her last days, it is only befitting as a living testimony to her life that her last meal would be sharing the sacrament of The Lord's Supper with her husband and children.
Doris retired from the Goldsboro City Schools where she served as an administration assistant. She was a past member of the North Carolina Association of Education office personnel and a member of the women's auxiliary of Gideons International.
Mrs. Farmer is survived by her husband, James Herbert Farmer; a son, Glenn and Jeannie Farmer of Niceville, Fla.; two daughters, Mrs. David "Linda" Evans of Niceville, Fla., Claudia Russell of Dudley; brother, Lee R. Bradshaw of Chesapeake, Va.; one sister, Veronica Grice of Sumpter, S.C.; 10 grandchildren; and 12 great-grandchildren.
The family requests that lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to Gideons International for memorial Bibles.

The importance of Fresh Air and the benefits of air purifiers
To be clear, an air purifier is a device that removes pollutants and allergens from the air. An air purifier has many good features that improve the quality of your inside air. In addition, a quality air purifier that has an HEPA filter is capable of removing almost 100% of impurities and dust particles from the air. An air purifier also has the ability of removing pollen, mold, pet dander, spores and dust mites. If you have a pet, you know that there are a variety of odors that are associated with them such as urine and dander.
If you or someone in your family suffers from asthma, allergies or other respiratory concerns, airborne particles that float through the air may worsen these allergic conditions. Air purifiers get rid of smoke, dirt, pet dander and other contaminants. Intricate devices that are part of HEPA filters use a fan to pull in air through the folded high-efficiency particulate and traps dust particles automatically.
Newborn babies can benefit greatly with an air purifier. Keep in mind, even clean air in your home has visible and invisible dirt and particles. Some of the particles may produce harmful effects to your health.
For a newborn infant, air purifiers are most important because they supply consistently clean air to the newborn. Also, air purifiers keep your baby healthy and comfortable. Keep in mind; newborns are more prone to suffer from allergies and asthma because their immune systems are not as strong as those in older children. Your newborn needs effective protection against harmful air contaminants.
Air purifiers can keep your baby's room clean. Some may not know it but indoor air can be less pure than outdoor air. An air purifier can remove a variety of contaminants and irritants that sometimes float in the air such as dust, mold, pollen, and pet dander and other harmful chemicals and keep them from entering your baby's room. Tips when buying the best portable ac unit are: size, placement, draining and maintenance, noise level and efficiency.
Besides keeping the air in residential facilities clean and fresh, air purifiers also control and maintain the air quality needs of commercial buildings. The best portable air conditioner is one that will provide optimal cooling and one that is easy to carry.
Health care facilities also need and use air purifiers. In addition, there are air purifiers that are designed for dental clinics, hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Air purifiers are especially necessary and effective for those who suffer from respiratory disorders, AIDs, HIV and chronic respiratory disorders. In addition, nursing homes are required to manage indoor chemicals, dust, mold pollen and odors. Commercial ambient air purifiers improve the quality of indoor air in hospitals and other public buildings. These commercial ambient air purifiers are used to destroy a host of impurities such as mold and inborn viruses.
Other benefits of air purifiers are removing mosquitoes and other small insects from the air, as well as a variety of odors, especially for those who live with smokers. In addition, air purifiers are beneficial in improving your mood, reduces stress, improves sleep with its white noise and improves the circulation of air

A refreshing summer drink made with red wine and fresh fruit
This peach and raspberry red wine sangria has been my beverage of choice for most of the summer. I feel a little guilty that I've held out on sharing it until Labor Day weekend, but there's still time to make a batch before the weather turns cool. I'm a big fan of sangria and this is my favorite recipe to date. It's on the sweet side, but not so sweet that you can't drink several glasses, and the fruit tastes great after sitting in the wine overnight. The secret ingredient is the cassis, which magnifies the flavors of the wine and of the fruit. I like to drink it somewhere between cold and room temperature, so it's a great make-ahead drink for a party. Just mix all the ingredients together in a pitcher the night before, take it out of the fridge once guests arrive, and leave it out during your party without worrying about keeping it cold. It's the perfect beverage to enjoy on a sunny afternoon or warm evening and even works as a brunch cocktail in the late morning.
More Cocktail Recipes:
- Pineapple-Mango Rum Slushie
- Jalapeño Margaritas
- Mojitos
Peach & Raspberry Red Sangria:
- In a large pitcher, combine 2 bottles of red table wine,* 1/2 c. creme de cassis, 1/2 c. triple sec, and 1/2 c. orange juice.
- Stir in 2 tbsp. sugar until dissolved, then add in 1 pint of raspberries and 2 sliced ripe peaches.
- Let the sangria sit for at least a few hours in the fridge (overnight is ideal).
- Pour into glasses and serve.
Serves four

Closing statements expected in Boston Baby Doe murder trial
BOSTON (AP) — The trial of a man charged with killing a 2-year-old girl who became known as Baby Doe after her body washed up on a Boston Harbor beach is coming to a close.
The prosecution and defense are expected to give their closing statements in the murder trial of Michael McCarthy on Tuesday.
READ: Mom sticks to claim that murder defendant killed 'Baby Doe'
The defense rested on Monday without McCarthy taking the stand.
Authorities say McCarthy killed Bella Bond, his girlfriend's daughter.
McCarthy's lawyer says the mother, Rachelle Bond, killed the girl. In a plea deal, she pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact for helping McCarthy dispose of the body.
A composite image of Bella was shared by millions of people on social media after her body was found in June 2015 as authorities tried to determine her identity.

Flash pops up but does not flash?
The flash pops up, but does not fire..
Is this a good question?
How about D5200. My D5200 is having same problem. Is this going to fix my D5200 as well?
The flash pops up, but does not fire..
Is this a good question?
How about D5200. My D5200 is having same problem. Is this going to fix my D5200 as well?
Mac, this could be caused by the sensor not realizing that the flash head is up. To see if that is the problem, place your camera into Auto mode and half-way depress the shutter in a situation where flash would be required. The Flash head should pop up. Release the shutter and after a while depress it half way again. The camera should make a clicking noise like it is going to release the flash head. If the flash position sensor is broken or malfunctioning it does not recognize that the flash is up, therefore it may not fire the flash since it assumes the light was down. Check for the switch inside your camera flash to make sure it is making contact appropriately. there is a great write-up about that on here. and some great information "remove the 2 screws from the front of the popup flash The rear plastic cover will the clip off.
Inside you will find a small switch on the right side of the flash unit when it pops up the switch should make, if it doesn't try shorting it with a small insulated item the try the camera in low light and see if if flashes.
To fix you need to remove the spring-screw from the other side then gently pry the bracket off, then just pull out the small white sleeve on the right hand side of the popup near the switch, this sleeve moves in slightly and will not make the switch on the popup flash.
Gently put the flash bracket onto the camera, be very gentle as the wires are very thin. You will see the white plastic bearing has 2 small clips which need to be through the hole on the bracket the pin which activates the switch will then be in the correct position." on here. Whatever you do, make sure you discharge the condenser, getting zapped on your camera could be a hair raising experience. Hope this helps, good luck.
Was this answer helpful?
Yes that worked for my D70s. I managed to prize the little white plastic sleeve out till the sprung clips locked onto the flip up body with a tiny spade screw driver. Once it got level to the hole I slipped another little screw driver between it and the black flip up body. levering it out pivoting on the screw driver shaft and into the opposite inside of the white plastic sleeve.
Was this answer helpful?
I would add to the above that I inserted a paperclip (with a small 90 degree hook) into the sleeve and pulled it out until the clips engaged. My clips were weak so the tension of the wires pulled the sleeve back in. Again I pulled the sleeve out and this time inserted a small wedge (plastic fork prong) between the clips to keep them in place. So far so good. Thanks for the write up guys!
Was this answer helpful?
Thank you for the awesome write up! it gave me the courage to tackle the repair on my D5100.
Was this answer helpful?
I have a D3100, My flash pops up but does not fire, and when I put on a external flash it does not fire. I didn't see a spring on my pop up flash mechanism.
Was this answer helpful?
I have a Nikon d5500, Flash pops up but dosn't fire. when i set flash off camera takes picture but when iset auto flash camera doesn't take picture. In display i see a new hand symble with double first bracket both sides.

Darien Social is what an American bar and restaurant should be – it needs no gimmicks and pulls no punches. It is a place to gather over great food and drink, and where you always know what to expect – and the unexpected only makes it better. The menu takes its cues from comforting tried and true favorites we all like to eat, and unique dishes we must have again because there's just nothing else like it around. Classic cocktails are shaken and stirred, 31 draught beers continue to flow and the décor of this urbane respite speaks to Darien Social's approach and commitment to providing their guests with a place from which to hang their hat.

At the very beginning of this month, I was nominated for the first time for the Liebster Blog Award by KAYLALISCIOUS. Since then I've been nominated for it 2 more times! It means so much to me that people enjoy reading my blog and I can't thank you enough for nominating me, and commenting and following me on twitter etc :)
The Liebster Blog Award post is quite lengthy, but I don't want to ignore the fact that people are nominating me. So I really hope it's alright if I just answer the questions they've written. The two other bloggers who have nominated me since are candlesandcurls & PureAllure. You can read my first Liebster Blog Award post here.
What made you start blogging?
I really wanted to start my own blog after spending two years watching the YouTube channels and reading the blogs of some well known YouTubers (Tanya Burr, Sprinkle Of Glitter, Jim Chapman etc.). I loved everything they did and I really wanted to do the same. After reading Zoella's blog and hearing her story (Draw My Life), all I wanted to do was start a blog and YouTube channel myself :) Like Zoella did when she first started, I don't feel confident enough right now to start a YouTube channel, but I finally plucked up the courage to start Stylish England :D
When did you start blogging?
I started my blog in early June 2013. I'm still quite a new blogger ;D
Pastel colours or bright colours?
I love bright colours on other people, but I struggle to pull them off. I love pastel colours, I think they're perfect for any season and I don't think (hope) they won't ever go out of style. (Plus I can actually wear them!)
Shorts or skirts?
As a guy, I'm gonna have to go with shorts. Which actually links in quite well as my favourite pair of shorts are a pastel green colour! Coincidence?
High street or High end?
Definitely high street. You get so much more for your money, and I think the high street brands are leading the way in fashion/style at the moment. So many well known fashion brands aren't actually creating new trends, clothes or styles anymore. A lot of luxury fashion brands now a days just plaster their products with their logo. Whereas places like Zara, River Island, H&M etc are creating new styles of clothing. (Apologies for the rant)
What is your best piece of advice for new bloggers?
I know it's really cheesy and corny, but it would be not to give up. I think the first couple of months of blogging is the worst for bloggers confidence in their posts. I honestly felt like no one was reading my blog and (because I'm a drama queen and make a mountain out of a molehill) questioned whether many people would ever read it. Don't worry, with time your blog will begin to come up in search engines and your blog will grow and mature as you do. In the meantime, make sure everything you post is good material, so that when people do find your blog, they'll come back!
What is your favourite TV show?
I watch a hell of a lot of TV. So it's really hard for me to pick. Even though it's been cancelled now, I'd have to say The Secret Circle (it was on CW). It's basically the vampire diaries but with teen witches as the main characters. I like the vampire diaries but after they killed off Bonnie, I was not happy :(
Topshop or River Island?
I really can't decide haha :D
Favourite party outfit?
You can't go wrong with dark skinny Jeans, ankle boots, a shirt and a waistcoat.
Night in or Night out?
I'd probably have to say...night out. I hate staying indoors and I'd rather go out and do more, that being said, a film and junk food every once in a while isn't a bad thing.
Your favourite blog post that you have written?
My No7 Beautiful Skin Normal/Oily review. I loved how the pictures looked and was so pleased with the quality :D Overall I was just really pleased with the post :)
PureAllure's Questions:
How are you today?
Not bad thank you, bit bored but oh well...how are you?
Whats the best piece of advice or quote you've ever heard?
"There's nothing wrong with loving who you are". It's from Lady Gaga's song "Born This Way" and I think it's so important to get that message across nowadays. So many people are un-happy with how they are and I think thats so upsetting and wrong.
Whats your favourite song right now?
Lady Gaga's stunning new single "Applause". Everything Gaga does is amazing :D
Do you ever want to have kids?
I have absolutely no idea. I think I'm more someone who'd like to focus on their career. But I wouldn't say no.
If you had unlimited money what would you do with it?
I'd like to buy my parents a really nice house wherever they wanted. I'd give some to my brother. I'd buy myself a penthouse apartment in Manhatten, New York City. I'd go on lots of holidays with friends and family. I'd also give some to charities and help fund research to beat diseases. And it's a dream of mine to have my own store, so I'd do that. Plus, I'd buy bad-ass birthday and Christmas presents :D
What's your biggest fear?
Snakes, I don't even want to elaborate.
Do you have a hidden talent? If so, what?
I wish I did. I don't stop talking very often so I suppose that could be classed as one? I once came downstairs at 8:00 and kept talking non-stop until it was 10:00, true story.
What is something you couldn't live without?
Good Wi-Fi connection. I had to go nearly a week with no Wi-Fi at all and it was horrific.
Do you prefer Summer or Winter? Why?
Winter! One because of how I dress. I like to layer clothing (Coats, Leather Gloves, Scarves/Snoods etc.) and I like wearing boots :D Also because I like it snowing, and having hot drinks in cafes and at home whilst looking out a window at the snow (corny?).
What's your favourite thing in your wardrobe?
It would be my dark skinny jeans. Simply because I wear those with everything. They go with all my other clothing/accessories, and I just love wearing them :D
What's your favourite shop?
ASOS. It sells a phenomenal amount of clothing for both men and women. Usually there's always more for women in stores but ASOS sells a hell of a lot of mens clothes and accessories. As well as that, their sales are INCREDIBLE :D

BOSTON (CBS) – You've probably heard the expression "The rich are different", but they might not be as different as you think.
A study by financial planner Tom Corley found millionaires can attribute much of their wealth to their daily habits. And they are behaviors just about anyone can emulate.
For example, Corley found after studying 350 wealthy and not so wealthy people that the 'more well to do' get up early every day. "I get up at 4am or 5am and I write for an hour or two hours," said Corley.
44% of the wealthy wake up three hours before work, and then fill that time in a constructive way, such as working out or reading. "Before they even get to work, they have done some really good things that help them move forward in life," said Corley.
Corley outlined a number of habits that tend to be adopted by the wealthy in his book Rich Habits: Daily Success Habits of Wealthy Individuals. "I am not just focusing on the wealthy. I want to know what you're screwing up."
Another rich habit is to keep a daily 'to do' list, and make sure you check off 70% of what's on it.
Rich people are much less likely to engage in water cooler chit chat at work. In fact only about 6% of them gossip, compared to 60% on the other end of the socio-economic spectrum.
"To rich people, relationships are like gold so they manage their relationships very carefully," said Corley.
Wealthy workers often skip lunch and eat at their desk. "The only rationale for a long lunch is if you're networking," explained Corley.
That supports another habit of the wealthy which is to count calories. They are much more conscious of maintaining good health.
Another difference involves the use of the Internet. The wealthy don't spend extra time online and make sure the time they do spend is purposeful. That means no YouTube clips of cute cats.
Corley believes even incremental changes can reap big rewards. "I want them to understand that it may only take 1-2 rich habits to completely transform their lives."

Picked the most obscure website I have to post what is possibly the most heartfelt message. I have spent a lifetime becoming an exceptional writer. And I am discovering, quite painfully that it doesn't mean nearly as much as I might have hoped. Talent and skill are shit compared to authenticity. People need to make sense of their lives and the only way to do that is through understanding that all that really matters is conviction - belief in yourself and believing in those you love. There's no secret to anything. Except faith.

A procedural piracy game, you command a ship to sail the seven seas, either alone or with friends. Explore, do quests, fight pirates, or be one yourself!
First-person survival game where you're stranded naked and helpless on an island full of dinosaurs.
Unturned is a free-to-play cross-platform action zombie survival game with crafting elements.
Interstellar Marines bills itself as an old school tactial FPS, and just recently added a solo and coop player campaign mode called the Neurogen Incident.
A turn-based fantasy RPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate featuring cooperative multiplayer as well as a single player campaign.
This procedurally-generated voxel open world game looks like Minecraft on shaders and steriods. It's being kickstarted later this spring, with an alpha expected this summer, and a release later this year for Windows and Mac OS X.It still seems sort of strange to me that developers look at Minecraft and think the way forward is better graphics, but hopefully there's also a good understanding of what makes Minecraft fun.
Proven Lands is a sci fi survival sandbox game with release planned in 2015 for Windows, Mac OSX, Linux, iOS and Android. Solo, multiplayer and cooperative modes are included, and it is currently being both Kickstarted and Greenlighted. Check out the video, this one may be worth looking into next year!
The collection is actually the first game in the AI War series, Fleet Command, and five expansions released between 2010 and 2013. The developer, Arcen Games, is working on a new entry in the series due out later this year, called The Last Federation. All feature competitive and cooperative play against human or AI players. It runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX, and supports cross-platform multiplayer.
Steam has just put up for sale the entire AI War Collection: six titles for less than five bucks!
This free, open-source empire-building game lets you lead your tribe from the stone age to the space age. Now there's an HTML version playable in browsers, even on mobile devices! Features network and play-by-email options as well, and supports Windows, Linux and OSX with cross-platform play. Currently the OSX version is out of sync with the latest stable version (latest Mac version 2.3.0, latest stable for Win/Linux 2.3.5).
The successor to the Quake engine-based Nexuiz, Xonotic is a fast-paced multiplayer shooter, similar to Unreal Tournament or Quake 3 Arena. Features FFA and team play.
This modern port of Stuart Cheshire's classic tank multiplayer game Bolo still runs on modern versions of OSX, is still free, and is still fun! The game's homepage is down as of this writing, so we may even try to get permission to host this one ourselves. A map editor is also available.
The latest iteration of Sid Meier's famous strategy game series doesn't get listed on most sites as being a cooperative game, but that's only because how most alliances are temporary. That certainly doesn't need to stop you from getting together online with a few friends to beat up on the AI (or try to) before turning on each other!
According to its sourceforge page, Triple A is "a free online turn based strategy game and board game engine, similar to such board games as Axis & Allies or Risk." While it doesn't appear to have a discrete cooperative play mode, these kinds of games usually feature the ability for players to create informal (and usually temporary) alliances among themselves, so I'm including it here. Thanks to a former IMG writer who tipped us off to this gem!
This squad-based first person shooter is a full release based on a Source engine mod; it runs on OSX and Windows and supports crossplatform multiplayer as well as competitive and cooperative maps.
Built from the ground up for cooperative play and supporting OSX, Linux, and Windows, Left 4 Dead 2 definitely belongs on this list. And for a short time during the holidays in 2013, Steam offers the game for free!
Now you can play Aurora Novum too on the Technic Launcher with the Aurora Novum Modpack!
All mods included in the pack have the permission of the authors.

levitra plus original sale Where have I been?!?! I know guys, I am so sorry! I totally disappeared for a while there. But, with good reason. I've been a little busy, you know, being PREGNANT!!!! Actually, that is no reason why I couldn't sit at my computer and blog. But trust me, if you read on, you will see I was in no state of mind to do much of anything for the past month or so. But, today I officially hit the second trimester, and I am officially starting to feel a little bit better. The post you are about to read is from 7 weeks ago now (oh my gosh, that long already!!) Trust me, it is kind of a jumbled emotional mess that doesn't make 100% sense, but that is just how my brain was working at the time. I've been blogging every couple of weeks now about how things are going, so I will be posting those in the near future as well! So here we go…
from online drugstore real levitra canadian I know, I know!! I can barely believe it myself still. When you see those two little lines show up on that test at home, you feel so many emotions all at once! It's so exciting, but also really scary, it's all so new! We've been feeling so lucky and excited about the whole experience and it still really hasn't sunk in yet. I haven't gone to my OB/GYN yet, my appointment is scheduled for this upcoming Tuesday. I think then it will really feel, well, REAL! According to my apps that I downloaded, I think I am around 7 weeks in right now. But, I am sure I will have a much better idea of all that when I go to the doctors. I am trying to not be too excited yet, just incase that home test I took fooled me, but from all the feelings I've got going on … I'm pretty sure that the test was accurate.
http://history4girls.com/?search=puss-under-skin-after-accutane So far, my pregnancy hasn't been quite what I thought it would be. For one thing, I've been battling a very strong head cold/flu for the past two weeks, which is just making dealing with morning sickness so much more difficult. Of course, my morning sickness decided to really kick into high gear on Christmas Eve. Which, when you are trying to keep the whole thing private (until we have an actual doctor's appointment) is VERY difficult. I had the cover of my cold to kind of "blame" but most of my holiday meals went something like me forcing myself to eat some of it, despite having no appetite, and then running to the furthest away bathroom as quickly as I could because I was about to throw it all up and I didn't want anyone to hear me. Then coming back into the group like nothing had happened at all. Also, saying no to wine immediately made my parents think I was pregnant and ohhhh and ahhhh. My sister had my back saying she isn't PREGNANT, she is just SICK and doesn't feel good!! Although, my sister out of the blue, before I even had a missed period, asked me if I was pregnant…. so I think she has had a secret feeling about this whole thing and is just trying to keep it on the down low. Sisters always know!
source link Now, around week 7, my morning sickness is at its worst so far. I can't keep anything down. I've been throwing up multiple times a day, and I just feel totally drained overall. And whoever said morning sickness is just in the mornings is a LIAR!!! Mine is definitely worst in the mornings, but it lingers all day for sure! Since I have another 5 or so weeks of this to go, I've started trying everything I can to at least make it manageable. I had to go home from work after an hour and a half yesterday because I was so sick and on the verge of vomiting I couldn't stand it. Today, I am hoping for better luck! But, despite all of the morning sickness, we are just so excited for this entire experience and so happy for what the future holds!
http://kitchenshrinks.com/?search=levitra-lowest-price I will keep posting every couple of weeks to keep you guys in the loop of what is going on during this crazy and exciting 9 months!

Genre: Strategy
Publisher: Vivendi
Developer: Mithis
Release Date: February 2005
With the newest version of Harpoon allegedly shelved for a while, I thought it was going to be a long time before I got to play a really deep, fleet-based combat game again. Then I opened the case that contains this gem of a title, Nexus: The Jupiter Incident.
In the tradition of games like the popular (but flawed) Star Trek: Armada series and the rich history of Larry Bond's immortal Harpoon series, this strategic space combat challenge takes gamers to the reaches of our solar system…and beyond.
Remember the scene in Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan when the Enterprise flies into the Mutara Nebula? Both ships were damaged, and were playing a deadly game of cat-and-mouse inside a star cloud. After a few passes, Spock turns to Captain Kirk and says, "His tactics seem to indicate a certain two-dimensional thinking." With that nugget of wisdom, Kirk stops his ship, drops down vertically a few hundred meters, waits for Khan's ship to pass above, then rises, shark-like from behind to do him in. Beautiful! I mention this because my main complaint with most tactical and strategic space games is that they seem locked in two dimensions. Even the exemplary "Starfleet Command" series kept you mostly locked at the same z-coordinate in space.
Not anymore, bud! The three dimensional aspects of this game are among the best I have seen, and the camera controls are so smooth; it is a pleasure to watch. I have all of the graphics settings tweaked all the way up on my machine, and I have yet to see a screen glitch, even with multiple units on the screen. But I'll get to that later…
You begin your journey in the shoes of Captain Marcus Cromwell. No mere grunt, he. From the outset, you are famous throughout the known galaxy. You see, your father was the first child ever born in outer space, ushering in a new era of interstellar conflict. Colonization became the main source of income throughout the world, and vast corporations, now the seeming nations of the world, have amassed their own space fleets to explore, exploit and build all over the galaxy. But as we spread our empires, trouble was brewing. After the first murder in outer space, Artificial Intelligence was banned, and what followed was chaos. Entire continents went dark and helpless, and it seemed the Earth was going to destroy itself.
Your father was chosen to pilot Noah's Ark in an effort to find aid, but a collapsing wormhole apparently destroyed all hope. Now, you have become a space captain, and your journey to find out what really happened to your father has begun. As it turns out, it's not that easy.
It seems that the galaxy is again in turmoil, rival species are constantly at each others' throats, using renegade humans as mercenaries. They are now being hunted by an alien race, seemingly not organic in nature, referred to as "Mechanoids." These Mechanoids possess superior weapons and can absorb energy from normal attacks upon them to boost their own energy. It's gonna be fun…
The basic controls are a point-and-click affair. The game is completely controllable from the mouse, but don't fret; there is no lack of depth or complexity. While the ships under your control can be commanded with a basic click, the real challenge comes when you take control over individual ships' systems, allowing you to track multiple targets independently. For example, one mission requires you to disable one of your own cargo ships that have been captured, while being swarmed by enemy raptor fighters. You can assign your smaller lasers to shoot out the cargo vessel's engines, thus not destroying your own tonnage, and simultaneously bring your big guns to bear on the attacking war birds. This makes for a very compelling simulation.
The storyline is rich in areas as diverse as mythology, theology and most of the other -ologies. The dialogue is well-written, often giving a nice boost of suspense when delivered via your ship's communication systems while under an attack. You must make a decision about who to trust and who to attack based on the advice of your crew, each a specialist and passionate in his or her own area of expertise. In another mission, your military adviser is begging for a full attack, while your science genius pleads for scanning anomalies first. Which do you do? These little dilemmas pop up frequently, if not as a yes/no checkbox, then as choices you must make in commanding your fleets.
The voiceovers were not all completed at the time of this preview, but those present were very easily understood, and well-acted. Sound effects are very realistic and do not overpower the game as a whole.
Back to the graphics – this game is really beautiful. The Black Sun engine that Nexus runs on is one of the smoothest I've seen, with gorgeous light flares and shadows. The in-game animations are crystal clear, and the cutscenes, while a little slow in pace, are great. The ship and weapon designs are pretty much the same as most other games of this genre, either sleek and scary, or boxy and big. The capital ships move much slower than their fighter counterparts, which makes the in-game battle swarms look very exciting.
Bear in mind, this is not a twitch-style space fighter game. You are controlling the large ships in the conflicts, so stopping and turning on a dime are out of the question. In this regard, Nexus put me in mind of flying the capital ships in Starfleet Command. There is also a similarity to the deadly underwater ballet that is modern submarine warfare. Add the stunning three-dimensional worlds the designers have created, and the tactical and strategic possibilities are wide open.
Rounding out a solid single-player experience is a number of multiplayer battles, including the usual suspects: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Escort, all the way up to large-scale battles between tons of ships. At this time, I was unable to play these online, but using a home LAN, I was able to test out most game types. They hold up well, but it will remain to be seen how many units can go at it at one time without serious lagging issues. I'm hopeful and somewhat confident that the final release will be a great way to blow stuff up after a long day at work.
In the not-quite-final analysis (this is a preview after all), Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is a welcome addition to my current crop of favorite diversions. When the entire package is completed, I think this will be the start of a franchise destined to last beyond the stars.

Washington has shifted into scandal gear. The Administration offers one explanation after another for the President's discredited claim in the State of the Union address that British intelligence had "learned" Iraq was seeking to buy lightly refined uranium from Niger. Each explanation contradicts the last. None so far is believable. Talk of resignations is in the air. Perhaps it will be George Tenet, who supposedly "threw himself on his sword," as people keep saying, when he publicly took responsibility for the President's mistake. (It turns out that the sword must have been made of rubber, since, two weeks after throwing himself on it, Tenet is still alive and well and in charge of the CIA–a CIA that, furthermore, has partially repudiated Tenet's gesture by disclosing that it had in fact warned the White House that the President's claim was shaky.) Next it was National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice's deputy, Stephen Hadley, who was throwing himself on his sword (rubber or otherwise)–by revealing that he had not passed along the CIA's warning to his boss Rice. Then there was talk that Rice might have to throw herself on her sword, in order to protect the President. Now the President has said he takes "personal responsibility for everything I say, of course," but without confirming that the uranium claim was mistaken or disclosing how it got into his speech.
The scandal–which might be called wargate (you only have to remove two letters from "Watergate"), since the cost of the mistake was a war–rightly preoccupies the capital. Yet the problem is not only the fact that Tenet didn't tell Hadley or that Hadley didn't tell Rice or that Rice didn't tell the President, or any other failure or manipulation of intelligence or even flat-out lie (though all these occurred and are important). For the roots of the debacle lie in the policy–it is sometimes called the "Bush doctrine"–in whose name the Administration propelled the country into war. That policy unfolded in a series of bold speeches and documents in the months after September 11. The first step was to designate the American response to the September attack a "war on terror." By naming "war" (as distinct from police action) as his means, the President put the world on notice that the full, stupendous power of the American military machine would be brought to bear; by naming "terror" (as distinct from the group responsible for the attack, the Al Qaeda network) as the enemy, he signaled that the operations would be global in scope. Next, in his first statement to the joint session of Congress, the President announced that not only "terror" but any regimes that sponsored it would be placed on the list of enemies. Vice President Cheney soon put their number at more than sixty. The first target was the government of Afghanistan, which was duly overthrown.
In the State of the Union speech of 2002, Bush expanded the range of his new doctrine still further. Most important, he incorporated into it the gravest issue that any President of our era has had to face: the danger from nuclear arms and other weapons of mass destruction. Bush named an "axis of evil" consisting of three countries that allegedly were seeking such weapons: Iraq, Iran and North Korea. Defining nuclear danger as proliferation–both to new states and to terrorist groups–he asserted that the means to stop it was war. "The United States of America," he said, employing the classic language of military ultimatums, "will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world's most destructive weapons." With these words, the cause of safety in the nuclear age was subsumed by the war on terror.
Four months later, in a major speech at West Point on June 2, 2002, Bush elaborated the means by which his ambitious new policy would be pursued. The policy of "deterrence" and "containment" had prevailed throughout the cold war. But now, he said, "deterrence–the promise of massive retaliation against nations–means nothing against shadowy terrorist networks with no nation or citizens to defend." And "containment is not possible when unbalanced dictators with weapons of mass destruction can deliver those weapons on missiles or secretly provide them to terrorist allies." In this speech, too, the President for the first time made an extraordinary claim: The United States would reserve to itself a global monopoly on effective military power, restricting other nations to nonmilitary activities. In his words, "America has, and intends to keep, military strengths beyond challenge, thereby making the destabilizing arms races of other eras pointless, and limiting rivalries to trade and other pursuits of peace." Throughout history, the choice between war and peace had been open to all nations. Now the United States was claiming war as its exclusive domain and confining other nations to peace.

The 2013 Billboard Music Awards will be honoring Madonna with the Top Touring Artist Award for her 2012 MDNA tour. Madonna will take the stage to accept the prestigious award which recognizes the highest grossing concert touring act of the year. This award is a result of the extraordinary success of her global MDNA tour, which has grossed over $305 million from 88 sold-out shows before audiences of 2.2 million.
The broadcast, executive-produced by Don Mischer, will air live from Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on SUNDAY, MAY 19 (8:00–11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network, sponsored by Chevrolet, Las Vegas, Samsung Galaxy S® 4 and Buffalo David Bitton.
A cultural icon, Madonna is one of the most successful and influential entertainers of all time and was recently named Billboard's Top Money Maker of 2012. When it comes to Billboard chart-topping history, Madonna is like no other: She holds the record for both the most Top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 (38) and No. 1s on the Dance Club Songs chart (43). She's also earned 20 Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 and 56 Hot 100 hits — 12 of which went straight to No. 1.

Maybe, but a some of that has to do with personal contact. If you're around Harvard people all the time, you conform to their beliefs and behaviors. If you're not, maybe your real world surroundings have more of an influence. To be sure, though, public schools have gone pretty far with indoctrination already.
If it really was as effective as many purport... then there would still be a soviet union and people wouldn't be risking their lives trying to escape North Korea and Cuba.

For Republicans, there's something about former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that makes her an inspirational choice to be Mitt Romney's running mate – or an unmitigated disaster.
Republican thinkers from Weekly Standard editor William Kristol to former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan have swooned about the prospects of a Romney-Rice 2012 ticket. And Rice apparently wowed Romney and his brain trust when she spoke at a campaign retreat in Park City, Utah.
"She's qualified," Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., who's also rumored to be in the Romney VP mix, said Sunday on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos." "She's excellent."
Other conservatives think otherwise. From the moment Rice's name surfaced as a potential vice presidential pick, they've howled about her support for legalized abortion and argued that she's too moderate on other domestic issues to share the same ticket with someone whose conservative credentials have also been questioned.
"Choosing Condoleezza Rice would inject tremendous excitement into the campaign and remove all suspense from the outcome," conservative pundit George Will said Sunday on "This Week." "You would have such an uproarious convention in Tampa, you'd have perhaps a third party, you'd have a challenge to her on the floor, you'd have walkouts of delegation, and he'd (Romney) lose 40 states."
Still, Rice detractors and supporters agree that she's an intriguing figure in the vice presidential debate, even though she's repeatedly said that she's not interested in the job.
"It would be a gamble for Mr. Romney, but it would be an interesting one," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac Polling Institute. "Her gender is critical. The fact that she's African-American might not get Romney more black votes, but it might help with moderate whites."
On the plus side, Rice is a compelling story: a preacher's daughter and a child of the segregated South who overcame and went on to become an accomplished pianist and ice skater; a Stanford University provost; national security adviser under President George W. Bush, and later the first African-American female secretary of state
But Rice would also bring considerable baggage that could turn off conservative as well as moderate voters, Brown and others say. She's closely aligned with Bush, whose name is still political kryptonite to many Republican and Democratic voters.
She was part of the neo-conservative core within the Bush administration that pushed for the Iraq war to rid Saddam Hussein of weapons of mass destruction that were never found. "We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud," she warned in 2002 during the march to war. In a hypothetical fall debate, Vice President Joe Biden likely couldn't challenge her on Iraq; as a senator and one of his party's top voices on foreign policy, he also supported the Iraq war. But others could and would remind the country of her role.
"Any throwback to the Bush years leads to re-litigation of the Bush years and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, which probably would not be helpful," said Steve Duprey, a New Hampshire Republican Party official who was a traveling confidant of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., during his 2008 presidential campaign. "Secretary Rice has never participated in partisan politics; she has zero political experience in that. I think it would be even more severe for her than what Gov. Sarah Palin went through."
In addition, Rice unabashedly supports affirmative action.
A Rasmussen Poll in February found that 55 percent of Americans opposed affirmative action, while 24 percent supported it and 21 percent were undecided.
While she was in the White House, the Bush administration led a Supreme Court brief opposing a University of Michigan admissions program that used race as a considering factor. Rice, who was then national security adviser, took the extraordinary step of issuing a carefully worded statement saying that she disagreed with Bush's opposition to the Michigan policy.
"It is appropriate to use race as one factor among others in achieving a diverse student body," she said in the statement, which added that "race neutral means are preferable."
Rice's downsides make it unlikely that she will be Romney's choice, several political analysts believe.
"Condi Rice is a political rock star," said Joel Goldstein, a professor at the St. Louis University School of Law and an expert on the vice presidency. "But the ideological clash with the party base is a deal breaker."

When my grandmother turned 84, my mother put this note on her mirror. I felt bad, because I had some kind of freak pneumonia and couldn't go see her that day. I called. She didn't remember it was her birthday. She didn't remember who had called and who hadn't. I dropped my guilt and went on with my day. That was in November.
My brother and I went to see her yesterday. She was all tucked into bed, her wheelchair sat empty in the corner. I saw that sign on her mirror and realized we probably wouldn't be making one that said 85 on it. We're in the home stretch now. Soon there will be no more mushy, one-color meals and there will be no more matching of socks. There will be no more bringing her fresh tubes of Biotene toothpaste. In lieu of motherhood, I've thrown myself into taking care of her while my cousins were all busy with their babies.
Soon I will no longer be her caretaker. I will only be her granddaughter.
I wore lipstick and covered my tattoos as not to give her an unnecessary heart attack and speed along the process. She was pleasant, though uncomfortable and confused. Before we left, I kissed her on her forehead and told her not to party too hard. Her smile curled upwards as she chuckled. That may be my final memory of my grandmother. For her sake, I hope it is.

until this chip lands in the sub $200 us range, this chip is doa. i really don't know what is going on at intel, but if intel continues to bide their time by offering slightly tweaked pentiums for this much money, i can see intel struggling to survive in the near future, at least in the processor market.
also, the idea that you need a fast cpu for playing games is laughable, and intels market researchers really didn't do their homework. all the power is in the gpu these days, you can get by with a kick ass video card, with a sub $100 cpu. also, most avid gamers/geeks love a deal, being able to play a system with max frame rates, for the least amount of money, which is why the athlon has been so popular. spending $1000+ for a processor upgrade just to say you have the fastest game system is really lame and no geek respects a blow hard. say you have faster frame rates on a $100 cpu, and your a geek god. – by topher

|blurb? or baseless cheap shots? (3:43am est tue nov 04 2003)
hardly balanced/fair coverage. let�s just start with the actual factual errors and omissions.
t or f �intel decided to release the pentium 4 ee because the next generation prescott has been delayed ��
false. p4ee came out because intel could do a processor that beat fx-51, independent of prescott. athon fx-51 lasted all of one day until they were shown to perform less well than p4ee. for the data.
so we can clearly see that the base article is flawed, unbalanced, one-sided, and frankly, as a result, inflammatory. (but i guess that�s what gets geek.com the traffic and concomitant ad revenue. cha-ching!)
furthermore, some of the comments on the board are simply ludicrous in their claims. so let�s address those, next.
t or f �5-10 % performance increase in benchmarks is not enough to translate into a real world performance difference. what a waste of time and money!�
undoubtedly true, but completely misses the point. if you were only worried about real world performance, everyone would buy celerons and durons, because everything else is overkill where the idle task gets 99+% of the cycles. the market exists because of the top bin performance �bragging rights� (even if you don�t happen to buy it, someone else is), and burst performance. 5-10% is the difference that you get with each speed bump, so if you get it from architecture instead of clocks what�s the difference? it�s what the buying public is paying for. its significant. and because its enough to put athlon-64 fx under, pooh-pooh it, right?
t or f �until this chip lands in the sub $200 us range, this chip is doa.�
false. this is the kind of logic that would lead you to conclude that hummers will never sell. if ppl will buy �em, by definition, there�s a market. just because you and i wouldn�t pay that much, doesn�t mean they won�t sell.
t or f �seems like the fx-51 is cheaper now and still performs better than the p4ee�
false. if it truly performed better, amd could charge more for it. given their current fiscal crisis, amd is looking to charge more � witness the lack of price reduction last week.
t or f �p4 ee is all 32 bit technology�
actually false, although most of us would reject the really weak intel claim that it has 128-bit instructions in its sse2 engine. clearly p4ee is based on 32-bit. just as clearly, even with its 64-bit internals, athlon-64 fx still can�t outperform the 32-bit processor. moreover, as noted earlier, on geek.com, if you except linux, there is no 64-bit os so you are really only getting an athlon-32 fx with a promise that someday it will run 32-bits. with any luck that�ll be in �04, however, don�t hold your breath that all the .dlls will be ported, so your 64-bit processor and 64-bit os will still thrash in 32-bit mode changes for a good long while.
all in all, pretty unbalance article. doesn�t seem like either intel or amd can make money at 64-bit. if oppie and athlon-64 are so good, how come amd�s still losing money 6 months after intro?

troll: p4ee came out because intel could do a processor that beat fx-51, independent of prescott. athon fx-51 lasted all of one day until they were shown to perform less well than p4ee. for the data.
false! tomshardware data is not backuped by tests made by others – like aceshardware.com, anandtech.com, firingsquads, the tech-report (…. long list there). you can't conclude in any way that on majority of bench p4ee wins. it's is simply _wrong_.
false: this guy probably use a pc only for web browsing. that probably explains why he knows so few about performance and cpus )
troll: (…) amd is looking to charge more � witness the lack of price reduction last week.
ah ah ah! on one side, if amd charge less, it means the chip don't perform. if tehy charge more, it's because they don't have money! thanks for the laugh, you made my day !!! :d
all in all, pretty stupid and trivial comments, by someone who either don't have a clue, or has good reason to place intel in a better light than it is under, and amd in a worse light than it is under.

|2mb l3 add an effective 1.5mb to the total cache (4:45am est tue nov 04 2003)
because the p4/xeon cache is inclusive.
and please don't quote one single intel biased site for benchmarks. there are enough others, less biased ones.
"actually false, although most of us would reject the really weak intel claim that it has 128-bit instructions in its sse2 engine. clearly p4ee is based on 32-bit. just as clearly, even with its 64-bit internals, athlon-64 fx still can�t outperform the 32-bit processor."
sure, p4ee is not "all 32bit" but has only 32bit integer and address calculation capabilities. fpu/simd registers don't count – else we have to say for example, that the 486 was a 80bit cpu which could use only 32bit for most office tasks.
in 32bit mode the afx doesn't make use of any amd64 extensions or "internals". it's performance increase over k7 comes from architectural changes which don't belong to special 64bit stuff.
the introduction of the 64bit mode (which is also useful for 32bit stuff and sse2 due to more registers) is a situation similar to the introduction of sse2 with willamette. what happened after more and more applications and games began to use it?
migration of a new server cpu is much slower than a new desktop cpu. that's why opteron had no huge effect in q2 and q3.
without introducing new athlon xps the sales of amd's computational product group ($503 mill.) increased 24% over second quarter and 91% over q3/02. the ~80k athlon 64s sold in q3 account to max. $25-$30 mill. and they surely have been sold just a few weeks before end of q3. amd said they strongly underestimated the demand for 64bit cpus and are trying to ramp up as fast as possible.
interestingly the 64bit cpus also have a positive effect on the sales of athlon xps.

|still no flames … just a bunch of hot air (7:22am est wed nov 05 2003)
again, most of the arguments against p4ee > fx-51 are data-less and of the variety 1) "if i shout louder i win" (which of course you don't), or 2) "if i don't like your data it must be from a biassed source". lol.
"how could the fx be beaten by an unreleased chip?" the same way that athlon got chip of the year in 2002. only it is released now, so this point is moot. p4ee 1, fx-51 0.
of course, by this same logic, since its "unreleased" p4ee 1, fx-53 0.
still no data presented by anyone else that its a heat issue behind prescott moving to end of this year. in fact, its not the heat, and quite frankly there are enough other ways for chips to have to be reworked. look at the two extra years it took to get k8. prescott 1, heat problems 0.
actually spec is aimed at strictly cpu performance, and not just server but desktop, too. why else would amd spend the money to post athlon scores? d'oh! (btw, intel is the clear winner here with itanium.) intel 1, amd 0.
so with exclusive vs. inclusive cache — you don't subtract from the inclusive size (typical rookie mistake) – you add to the inclusive. if you have 2m of cache, there are 2m of things in cache, irrelevant of having 2 or 3 copies of it. p4ee 2048k, fx-51 1152k.
the compiler point is an interesting one, especially with microsoft announcing that the 64-bit version of windows moving out another 6 months to practically '05. consistently over the last decade or two the best performing x86 compilers have actually come from intel. now that amd doesn't have intel's coattails to ride on anymore with their departure to the land of 64-bit extentions, they are screwed. there's no intel compiler with x86-64 extentions coming to pull amds ass out of the fire now. intel compiler 1, amd compiler 0.
as far as the price vs what the market will bear goes, there's no contradiction. amd simply left the price high because they don't have a flaming clue how to make enough — cuts down on demand. amd may claim that they underestimated demand, but its just like the q2 sars excuse — they really just woefully underestimated their ability to supply parts. intel capacity & yield 1, amd 0.
as far as the crappy argument that p4 is really 128-bit, i think we're all in violent agreement that its a bogus claim. not sure why dresdenboy thought it was worth so many column-inches to agree. however, left unchallenged is the fact that 64-bit athlon fx-51 doesn't bring any significant performance gain to the party. it can't keep up with p4ee which is 32-bit. basically a tie, 32-bit 1, 64-bit 1.
as far as market share gains, amd had nowhere else to go but up because of how dismally they lost in past quarters. this is really old news, and completely ignores how far down they went 3 quarters ago. with the economy now recovering, you'd expect "a rising tide to lift all boats". but clearly its lifting intel's more right now than amds. intel +1.2%, amd -0.8%.
and, yeah, it takes awhile for server designs to migrate — especially when none of the major oems are using it. lol. its not a hard prediction to make that its going to continue to take a while. intel 1, amd 0.
clearly amd is barely treading water at a time when they should be head and shoulders ahead of intel. for all the build-up and hype lead up to "hammer", its tantamount to getting their ass kicked. that's enough to really torque a guy off. but quit making excuses for them. and if it makes you feel better to resort to name calling in the abscence of a leg to stand on, so be it. just callin' as i see it.

|itroll … (7:05pm est sun nov 23 2003)
of course there's no statement from intel about heat issues delaying prescott, you dolt. intel never talks about problems, they just cover them up by saying that they're tweaking the chip or something. do a google search for "prescott", and you'll see *multitudes* of pages about prescott's extreme heat production.
spec is aimed at cpu performance, but it's still compiler dependant. look at some spec scores done on the same system with different compilers.
you don't know anything about caches, apparently. yes, you have 2 mb of stuff in the cache, but only 1.5 mb of that is useful, because the faster 512 kb of l2 already stores the other 0.5 mb. a cpu isn't going to make use of the stuff in the slower l3 cache when it's already in l2. the 0.5 mb of l3 is *always* wasted.
intel and amd aren't the only ones that make compilers. there are a number of highly-optimized x86-64 compilers out and in the process of being released.
now, about capacity and yield … intel's yield is one of the lowest in the industry. when it comes to yield, intel is the laughing stock. the only reason they can keep churning out such high numbers of chips is because of raw capacity. if they can make 1,000,000 chips at 50% yield, they're getting 500,000. if amd can make 200,000 chips at 80% yield, they're making 160,000 chips. amd's yield is quite impressive, but they just don't have as many fabs as intel. this comparison is a lot like amd's vs. intel's chips … the p4 can do a *lot* of clock cycles, but it does a shit amount in one clock cycle. why else would a 2.2 ghz athlon 64 beat a 3.2 ghz p4 in raw cpu performance?
if you'd have actually looked at some recent benchmarks comparing 32-bit vs. 64-bit performance on the a64, you'd see that there is not one situation where 64-bit performs lower. some gains are insignificant, some gains are pretty significant. once windows xp 64-bit is released and software developers start writing for and optimizing 64-bit code, the true fruits of 64-bit will be revealed. don't forget the addressable memory issue as well. try addressing over 4 gb of memory on intel chips reliably and quickly. pae doesn't count.
besides, for now, amd is only pulling what intel's been pulling for years: bigger sounds better. if joe sixpack comes into his local computer store and sees a box with "64-bit" written all over it, vs. a box with no mention of bits, he'll think 64-bit is better and probably end up buying it. remember the craze by nintendo fanboys when "nintendo 64" came out? barely any of them knew what the "64-bits" was about, but to them it was the holy grail.
if you'd bothered to look at any form of news, you'd also see that there are many major oems adopting opteron. ibm, sun, newisys, … since when are ibm and sun not major oems?
face it, itroll, intel is getting desperate, because amd is gaining lots of momentum. they simply have a better product, and the current intel offering is a $1000 usd "excrement edition" processor that's barely faster than their normal one, and a slower, delayed, overheating prescott that's nowhere near being released. – by tomchu

i have a amd64 bit with 1gb ram and i have intel p3 1.13 with 384 mb of ram. the amd64 bit is very good for games as well as single applications. but my p3 1.13 is better at multi-tasking than the amd. for example i can burn cd's, play winamp or watch tv using pinnacle pctv, have word, excel, multiple internet explorer windows open while for browsing the internet and yet my pc chugs along just fine. the amd by contrast will often lock up or the os crashes, or system performance goes down. so it seems to me the intel cpu may be better at multi-tasking. anyway it was good reading this post since i want to know more from people who also have their experinces to share and i can learn from because i have been contemplating on buying the p4ee to see if it meets my multi-tasking needs. – by arv

When deputies arrived they found store employees detaining the suspect at the scene.
After reviewing the evidence deputies arrested Shirley Burgess Stepp, 38, and charged her with attempted robbery with dangerous weapon.
According to deputies she was carrying a BB pistol resembling a handgun.

Today, working with someone who is blind or partially sighted is really no different than working with anyone else. Advances in technology and post-vision loss training mean that blind and partially sighted people overcome many of the barriers to work that they faced in the past. People with vision loss can and do successfully perform a wide range of careers, including in the areas of science, law and technology.
Despite this reality, people with vision loss still face significant challenges to gainful employment, and according to a recent Ipsos survey, many Canadians hold misconceptions about hiring and working with someone who is blind or partially sighted.
In honour of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, CNIB's EmployAbility campaign is calling on Canadian employers to look past their misconceptions and hire job candidates who are blind or partially sighted.
Learn how easy it is to hire and create an inclusive workplace for someone with vision loss.
Get tips and resources on finding or maintaining a job after vision loss.
