North Carolina scallop vessel may have struck an object
One day after a North Carolina-based scalloper nearly sank in Buzzards Bay, the boat was in safe hands at Fairhaven Shipyard and the Coast Guard was continuing its investigation. The 72-foot Captain Jeff began taking on water shortly after 9:30 a.m., Sunday, about 5 miles from shore near Great Ledge in Buzzards Bay. Six people were rescued in a team effort between the Coast Guard and a local marine response group. They were brought to Fairhaven's Pease Park Boat Ramp by Towboat US, and the scalloper was eventually towed into New Bedford Harbor. Coast Guard Petty Officer Nicole Groll said the incident is still under investigation, and no official cause had been determined as of Monday afternoon. Responders to scene said the boat may have struck an object near Great Ledge, causing a leak in the boat's bow area that was large enough to take in more water than pumps could remove.

Under a full compliment of resources, lobster fisherman are optimistic for repeat of last season
Wharves all along the south shore are piled high with lobster fishing gear and boats are at the ready for dumping day and the start of the commercial lobster fishery on Monday, Nov. 28 in Lobster Fishing Areas (LFA) 33 and 34. As always, Mother Nature has the final call when the season starts. If it's fair winds and seas, boats in LFA 34 will leave the wharves at 6 a.m. and in LFA 33, at 7 a.m. A full compliment of resources will be on standby on the water and in the air for the season start, said Sean Arbour, search and recue coordinator at the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) in Halifax. "The three lifeboat stations at West Port, Clark's Harbour and Sambro will have the cutters on the water in position about 20 to 30 miles out on stand-by," said Arbour. "Offshore we will have two large vessels on-site tasked to search and rescue. Typically, one is stationed off Yarmouth and the other one stationed off Liverpool about two hours off."

British Columbia: Dead humpback found entangled in fish farm anchoring equipment
A dead humpback whale has been found stuck in equipment at an empty fish farm on B.C.'s central coast. Marine Harvest Canada says in a news release that the whale was found on Nov. 15 entangled in an anchor support line at a site in Sheep Passage. The company says staff and contractors were in the process of dismantling the site's anchoring system after another whale got entangled in the equipment in September. The previous whale was safely released, and the entire site is now dismantled. The federal fisheries department has been notified about the dead humpback and will be investigating the incident. Marine Harvest Canada says before the incident in September, nothing like this had ever occurred in their 30 years of operation, and engineers are now testing all their sites to prevent this from happening again. link 16:46
Backyard & Beyond: War against foreign marine species seems to be a losing battle
On a cool Friday morning last month, a dozen curious Rhode Islanders lay down on the pier at Point Judith Marina to collect some of the squishy and crunchy creatures that were growing on the side of the docks. Using rusted metal spatulas, they scraped the unknown life into small aquarium nets and saved it in plastic tubs, then spent half an hour trying to identify what they had retrieved. With the exception of a few blue mussels, almost nothing was recognizable. There were sea squirts and shrimp-like things, seaweeds and green crabs, and just about everything was covered in a mushy yellow-brown mat called a colonial tunicate. Almost none of it was native to New England waters. In fact, most it came from the other side of the planet. Marine invasive species are a growing problem. Once a new species arrives, it's almost impossible to get rid of it. Read the rest here 14:28
Lobster industry supports emergency closures along Kaikoura coastline
The NZ Rock Lobster Industry Council and the Canterbury Marlborough Rock Lobster Industry Association have added support to the declaration of an emergency temporary closure to lobster fishing along the South Island coast from Cape Campbell to the Conway River. 'Fine scale data collection over the next few weeks should provide an assurance that the lobster fishery will be resilient to the after effects of the earthquake', said NZ RLIC Chief Executive Officer, Daryl Sykes. 'There is an extensive inventory and long time series of rock lobster fisheries data collected by industry participants and independent observers, and it should not take too long to reference current lobster abundance and distribution against the historical record. The fleet of vessels still has approximately 70 tonnes of catch to land in the current season which ends in March 2017. Read the rest here 13:23
United Fishermen of Alaska home in on salmon habitat issues
United Fishermen of Alaska is beginning to get an idea of what its new Salmon Habitat Information Program – or SHIP – will look like. The program is aimed at engaging commercial fisherman around the state in salmon habitat issues. UFA, which represents 35 Alaska commercial fishing organizations, conducted a survey this summer to understand what fishermen cared about. SHIP Director Lindsey Bloom said they were asked to list their priorities. "Fisherman, while they're concerned about a variety of issues, mining, climate change and pollution scored the highest," said Bloom. "At a local level, people mentioned the proposed [Bristol Bay] Pebble Mine and mining development in the transboundary region as the most mentioned specific concerns." Fishermen's worries about mining reaffirmed UFA's previous advocacy for State Department involvement in transboundary mining. Read the rest here 11:19
The Grind: Faroe Islands divided over whaling tradition
Residents of the Volcanic archipelago, located in the North Atlantic Ocean between Scotland and Iceland, call the hunt the Grind (pronounced to rhyme with "wind"). When the call is given, flotillas of boats set sail, herding pods of whales onto the beaches, where villagers wade through the water to kill them with lances. Yet whale meat has always been a staple of the Faroese diet: locals have historically consumed the meat and blubber to sustain themselves over the harsh winter months. Jens Mortan Rasmussen, one such whaler, believes that pilot whale is still an important and sustainable food source for the islands. "Everything you see at the supermarket is imported," he said. "The meat that we eat at the supermarket, we barely know where that comes from. I need to kill about 2000 chickens for the life of one whale. "If you feel that you can eat a chicken and then say I can't kill a whale, you're a total hypocrite. Read the story here 11:07
Queensland Government slammed over permanent scallop closure
Bundaberg commercial fishers have labelled the State Government's intention to permanently close scallop replenishment areas as "idiotic", accusing them of using dodgy, out of date data to threaten livelihoods. On Friday, Fisheries Minister Bill Byrne said Fisheries Queensland officers would hold urgent meetings with commercial operators to outline changes to management to protect the sustainability of scallops, which had plummeted to crisis levels. But Bundaberg trawler owner Andrew Redfearn said the intended permanent closure of the SRAs was another under-handed resource grab from fishermen under the guise of fisheries management for which there was no compensation. "I seriously question the credentials, capability and political persuasion of the person who suggested the permanent closure of the SRAs and also question the same of the other managers that support this idiotic measure." Mr Redfearn said the government was basing the current 6% of biomass on 1977 catches. Read the story here 09:21
Gloucester Fisheries Commission opposes limited access to the historically open-access whiting fishery
A mere two days after the NEFMC received its first look at the proposals being generated by its whiting advisory panel and whiting committee, Gloucester commission members raised concerns over the impact the proposals could have on the city's whiting fleet — particularly the small boats. "We should not allow any other species to go under limited access," said commission member Angela Sanfilippo, also the president of the Gloucester Fishermen's Wives Association. "This is a healthy stock and I am totally against limited access." Sanfilippo's views were echoed by member Joe Orlando and Chairman Mark Ring. The three proposals to potentially limit access to the fishery are contained in currently being developed by the council. The council's whiting committee hopes to furnish a more finished product at the council's next meeting in late January. The city fisheries commission, however, wasn't waiting around for the council staff's final analysis. It voted 6-0 to oppose any attempts to limit access to Ipswich Bay for the local whiting fleet.

Off the Grid
I can honestly say I enjoyed being off the grid for a week. Despite a small amount of anxiety over fall class registration, it was very relaxing. From Kruger to Hamakuya, not worrying about emails (184 to be exact) for a week made the experience much more meaningful. We spent 5 days in Kruger and… Read more »
Trail Blazing Professors (& Not Just in the Academic Way!)

The Ins and Outs of Mulching
In nature, there is a living carpet covering the ground in forests and wooded areas. This carpet consists of leaves, bark, twigs, bugs, and other organic matter comprising what can be called nature's own mulch. What occurs naturally in wooded areas needs to be replicated in the areas around our home. And this is the time of year to begin our own task of mulching.

Windows prophylactics
One of the posts I've wanted to make is a set for suggestions for safer use of Windows. Now Terry Gliedt has made what appears to be an excellent start called Coping with Windows. I haven't read the whole thing yet, but his first bit of advice is spot on:
My first advice is to not install Windows - choose something else. Buy a Mac. Install Linux.
Under the heading Virus Tools, Terry points to the free anti-virus tool I use: F-Secure Anti-Virus™ for DOS (along with other free and non-free alternatives). He also points to the two anti-spyware programs I use: Ad-Aware1 and Spybot Search & Destroy.
I want to mention a couple of other pieces of software I have found valuable. Terry's site is intentionally aimed toward the naïve:
Realize that what follows is for the very computer naive person at home. There are a million things I might tell my friends and family about this topic, but to do so means they would never do the simplest things. So I have decided to make this as simple as I can get away with and still end up with a secure home environment.
The couple of things I'm adding here are not for the naïve. But both are free. One is Privoxy, an ad-blocking proxy to reduce a significant number of annoyances one encounters while surfing the Web. It is quite useful out-of-box, without modifications, although one of its beauties is that it's customizable. The other suggestion I'll add is also for Web Surfing: MultiProxy, a privacy-protecting personal proxy that can be used to "completely hide your IP address by dynamically connecting to non-transparent anonymizing public proxy servers." This means no one will know who you are or where you are. I rarely use it, but it's indispensable at times, such as when I am denied access to content based on my physical location.
1Note that the link Terry has on his site is not to Ad-Aware, but to Ada-ware, where one can download an anti-spyware program named SpyAssassin. SpyAssassin may be a fine piece of software, but I'm all but certain Terry meant to link to the same software I link to here, Lavasoft's Ad-Aware. The screen-shot he has looks exactly like Ad-Aware.

Energy Resources
It is a known fact that the fundamental component of our daily life is energy. Energy resources are essential for any society, be it one dependent on subsistence farming or an industrialised country. There are many different sources of energy, some well-known such as coal or petroleum, others less so, such as tides or the heat inside the Earth.
Energy resources is different from types of energy. Energy resource is the way of getting energy.
Generally energy resources are available in nature. They are
Renewable resources
Non renewable resources
Renewable resources are infinite source in nature.
Renewable resources are not likely to run out.
Renewable resources can begin again.
Some of the examples of Renewable energy resources are,
Non Renewable resources are the finite sources that occur in nature.
It does not renew itself
As time passes on, non renewable resources gets depleted.
Some of the examples of Non Renewable resources are,
Inexhaustible energy resources are resources that are constantly produced.
The resource from the sun in the form of radiations is the solar energy. Sun is a source of enormous energy.
It is the resource produced from biological systems.
Wind has kinetic energy by virtue of the movement of large masses of air caused by differential heating of the atmosphere by the sun.
This resource can be utilised for performing mechanical and electrical works.
Geothermal energy is the energy resource produced by natural processes occurring within the earth.
The major source of this energy (in the form of heat) is molten underground rock or magma.
Electric energy cannot be created not destroyed.
Electric energy can transform form one form to another form of energy.
Hence primary energy resources are needed to produce electric energy.
Two types of energy sources, renewable and non renewable energy resource.

no update for me here in southern California on either laptop or desktop.
Just got the update here in Alberta but when the Feedback App updated it was not the newest version. Currently version 1.62221.0 is installed and will probably have to wait a day or so for the new version 1.1608.2441.0 to try out the dark skin.
EDIT: It figures just after typing my original post above and checking for Store updates once again the Feedback app is now updated to the newest version along with a few other apps and the dark skin is a lot better.

brabbeldas83 replied to Jaruto's topic in Gaming DiscussionThis could be fun. Looks quite a lot like SWAT 4. Sure, it's all a bit low budget, but it seems worth trying out.
brabbeldas83 replied to Serellan's topic in Announcements & UpdatesVery nice. A bit faster than I thought. Hope everything works out fine. I saw a gameplay video and the game looks quite good already. The AI still seems to be a bit raw. Maybe they react fast enough most of the times, in the video I saw they seem to do alright, but I noticed that they don't seem to look around a lot. If you saw them turn their heads left and right like in the old Rainbow Six or SWAT games it would look much better already. I haven't tried the game myself yet, but will in the future when I have more time. Edit: Oh crap, wrong thread. Can someone move it tot this one please?
brabbeldas83 replied to Serellan's topic in Announcements & UpdatesGreat to see the game on Steam now.
brabbeldas83 replied to k3nny1550's topic in Gaming DiscussionToo bad Uplay is involved. Probably would have bought it otherwise.
brabbeldas83 replied to Serellan's topic in Announcements & UpdatesVery nice. I like how you still can see something from Takedown in the game, but with a lot of things added or improved. Nice to see those blood splatters for instance. For the best experience guns need to feel really powerful and dangerous, like they are.
brabbeldas83 replied to Serellan's topic in Announcements & UpdatesThis looks absolutely brilliant. Especially if it will be in multiplayer as well. Something I always dreamed of in a tactical shooter. The old Rainbow Six games would have been even better if mission planning was supported in multiplayer. This really can give Epsilon an edge over other games. Great stuff.
brabbeldas83 replied to Serellan's topic in Announcements & UpdatesNicely coloured level design. Reminds me of Takedown.
brabbeldas83 replied to Rocky's topic in Gaming DiscussionSpeechless.
brabbeldas83 replied to DanHibikiFan's topic in Gaming DiscussionI didn't like Arma 2 that much either. Haven't played it that much I must say, but it all seems more like a big sandbox with all these possibilities than a very fun game to play to me. The gunplay felt a bit off to me. From what I heard Arma 3 is much better at this, so there is a good chance I will pick it up in the future, when there is a good deal on Steam or something.
Correct. I never play games without it, so very happy with it.
Great. Thanks!
Very nice to have a first look at the game. Only I haven't been able to find an invert mouse option. Did I overlook something?
Oh god. This looks so promising.
brabbeldas83 replied to Serellan's topic in Gaming DiscussionCan't stand the fake enthousiasm of the presenter guy.
brabbeldas83 replied to GBC's topic in Gaming DiscussionRogue Spear please. The museum would look so good you'd forget what it was you came in for.

The Greeks call her Sophia, the Romans Sapientia, the Egyptians and Chaldaeans invented her.
Sophia (σοφία, Greek for "wisdom") is a central idea in Hellenistic philosophy and religion, Platonism, Gnosticism, Orthodox Christianity, Esoteric Christianity, as well as Christian mysticism. Sophiology is a philosophical concept regarding wisdom, as well as a theological concept regarding the wisdom of the biblical God.
Sophia is honored as a goddess of wisdom by Gnostics, as well as by some Neopagan, New Age, and feminist-inspired Goddess spirituality groups. In Orthodox and Roman Catholic Christianity, Sophia, or rather Hagia Sophia (Holy Wisdom), is an expression of understanding for the second person of the Holy Trinity, (as in the dedication of the church of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul) as well as in the Old Testament, as seen in the Book of Proverbs 9:1, but not an angel or goddess.

Conor McGregor had been training for months in anticipation of the thunderous kicks and striking prowess of Jose Aldo but now Chad Mendes is his opponent and it's a whole new world for the Dublin Destroyer. Let's compare the styles and see how this will affect our UFC picks on July 11th.
Chad Mendes (17-2, 7 KO's, 2 Subs)
Chad Mendes is a two-time NCAA Division 1 All-American wrestler, yet all that mat pedigree failed to overcome the world class standup game of featherweight champion Jose Aldo. However, Mendes, under the expert guidance of Duane "Bang" Ludwig, has become a far more dangerous striker than he was when he launched his MMA career. Mendes has been knocking opponents out with regularity and that combined with his expertise on the mat makes him one of the most lethal featherweights in the world.
Mendes faced off against top-tier opponent Ricardo Lamas in his last foray into the Octagon and blasted away at the UFC veteran rendering a first-round TKO and proving worthy of the UFC odds offering him as a -500 betting favorite. That was certainly an encouraging sign after losing a five-round war to Aldo only six months earlier. Mendes has five KO's/TKO's to his credit over his last six victories and his ground game, once the fulcrum of his strategy, is now just another tool in his ever expanding toolbox.
Yet it is not lost on the fighter or his camp that standing and trading with a striker of McGregor's caliber may not be the best course of action. He has a severe height and reach disadvantage which will be difficult to mitigate unless he can take the fight to the floor. Once there he can control the pace and tempo of the match and unleash a fusillade of elbows and strikes from a more dominant position. The trick of course will be getting inside of McGregor without getting knocked senseless.
Conor McGregor (17-2, 15 KO's, 1 Sub)
McGregor holds a three inch height and an astounding eight inch reach advantage over his opponent at UFC 189. McGregor has an eccentric approach that emanates from capoeira, a Brazilian martial art with African influences that often reveals itself in the mad Irishman's herky-jerky style, particularly on defense which causes confusion on the part of his attacker. Oftentimes his opponents will launch with a series of punches or kicks and come up empty causing them to fall off balance and creating the perfect target for McGregor to counterstrike. This is where McGregor hits the hardest and becomes the hunter instead of the hunted.
However, unlike Jose Aldo, Chad Mendes is a natural born wrestler and though he can pack plenty of power into his diminutive 5'6" frame he is a grappler first and foremost, which does not mean he is a submission artist par excellence. He will attempt to get McGregor on his back and get into a striking match on the ground rather than standing up. It is therefore McGregor's relatively untested takedown defense that will come to bear. Can he withstand the shooting and takedown of one of the very best takedown artists in the division?
McGregor has fought grapplers before and Dennis Siver was one of them. Siver, a German kickboxer by trade with plenty of power as well as a decent counter-striker, is a mixed martial artist that has honed his submission skills. He is a true hybrid, somewhat similar to Chad Mendes, and though he is more adept at submissions he is far less skilled at wrestling and controlling the match once it hits the canvas. Conor McGregor never allowed Siver to get close enough to effectuate those submission skills as he relentlessly nullified the German's attack before ultimately overwhelming him en route to a TKO in the second round of their match in January of this year. McGregor does not often have to defend the takedown because he simply prevents it from happening by virtue of his withering assaults on anyone who gets close enough to try.
UFC Prop Odds
Total Rounds 2 ½ - The best line available is at BetOnline if you are so inclined, as am I, to bet Over the UFC odds total, which this offshore sportsbook is currently offering at +115. While McGregor can do serious damage, Mendes is a master at measuring distance and striking at the precise opportunity. He is not a swing for the fences kind of guy and takes a far more cerebral approach, which includes baiting his opponent with open palms using his hands as mitts to take the brunt of his opponent's attack rather than offering his head. Based on the fighters we have in this one I believe this will last into the championship rounds but I am unwilling to declare this will go to the judge's scorecards…just yet!

Larkhill Rise Forest School is a wonderful new facility for the school and is intended to take children out of the classroom and help them learn in a different environment.
This new facility will be used primarily by St Paul's, Bright Futures nursery school and Alder Grange Community Technology School, but it will also be available for use by local charities.
The Forest School was officially opened in September 2014 and Mrs Smith is our new Forest School Leader.
CLICK HERE to see what our Eco Warriors have been doing in the Forest School.
The forest school includes an outdoor classroom, mud slide, mud pit, fire pit, mud kitchen, bog and vegetable garden, a polytunnel and a willow tunnel.
The land has been cleared and trees trimmed thanks to parents, children, staff and the local community during our 'Big Dig' events. The area has now been fully enclosed with fencing. Buildings and facilities will be added as money becomes available.
Parent Nusrat Karim said: "Larkhill Rise Forest School will be a wonderful resource for my children. I am delighted that the schools and nursery are proactively providing different learning activities to engage them and boost their confidence."
MP Jake Berry said: "St Paul's school is a real example of how to make your school family an integral part of the wider Rossendale community. This outstanding project has drawn in local parents, pupils and teachers, along with other local people who are working together to improve the learning environment."

There was an attempted murder off our porch this afternoon. A hummingbird became caught in the web of a large yellow and black Argiope spider!
Nov 23, 2015 1:52 PM CST
|That is amazing. You were quick thinking.
A couple years ago I spotted a hummingbird tangled in a spider web, but not nearly as bad as yours. I was so panicky, I did not even use gloves and I called to DH, but figured he didn't hear me. I lightly cupped the struggling bird and just rubbed away the web. It seemed to relax, so I opened my hand to get a better look at the wings and it took off. DH came running with the camera. He was mad at me for letting it go and he couldn't get a close up shot.
Congrats to you.
Mar 30, 2016 1:28 PM CST
|I can just imagine DH fussing about no picture! Well, I suppose the little hummer was thrilled to be set free as quickly as possible! Good job!
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

15. Re: Screen-tearing with Haswell 4600Isak Sep 27, 2013 11:11 AM (in response to jeroompje)
The AMD graphic card I am referring to is just the card I had before I had this cpu+mobo combo. I was just trying to point out that the TV is not the problem here..
If I use extended mode everything is perfect. It's just clone. And I got a longer cable for my mouse and can confirm that it's not just full screen video. It's always there. A browser window that I move around with the mouse for example.
16. Re: Screen-tearing with Haswell 4600jeroompje Sep 27, 2013 11:29 AM (in response to jeroompje)
Think i solved the problem!
After installation my television is the primary screen and the monitor is the secundary screen.
After making the monitor the primary screen in the clone setup, the tearing has gone!
i'm running driver 22.214.171.12457
I will keep testing of course..
17. Re: Screen-tearing with Haswell 4600kevin_intel Sep 27, 2013 12:41 PM (in response to jeroompje)
Thanks for the feedback. At this point I am stalling the OS and I will try it soon… Keep us posted.
18. Re: Screen-tearing with Haswell 4600Isak Sep 28, 2013 8:26 AM (in response to jeroompje)
I can confirm what jeroompje is saying.
It's only the secondary display in clone mode that's having these problems. If the monitor i secondary then it has tearing.
19. Re: Screen-tearing with Haswell 4600kevin_intel Sep 30, 2013 1:40 PM (in response to Isak)
Hi all,
I have tested the DQ87PG board from my side using a processor with HD 4600 and I was not able to replicate the issue. I tested on clone, extended and single display but everything was working fine for me. You can check the files attached which are the dxdiag and the graphics report.
At this point, I recommend you updating the bios on your computer and installing the monitor drivers.
20. Re: Screen-tearing with Haswell 4600detlef Oct 26, 2013 4:41 AM (in response to jeroompje)
I have a DH87RL (-402) Mainboard and a i5-4670.
I am using the HD4600 to connect a TV via HDMI and a projector via DVI-HDMI (both FullHD).
I can reproduce the tearing when i use the screen duplicate function in Win 8.1. Latest Intel drivers and bios are installed. Vsync enabled and working in extended or single screen mode.
Very annoying indeed.
21. Re: Screen-tearing with Haswell 4600kevin_intel Oct 30, 2013 8:35 AM (in response to detlef)
Hi detlef,
Can you please post your Graphics report and your dxdiag report?
22. Re: Screen-tearing with Haswell 4600sserra Dec 5, 2013 10:52 PM (in response to jeroompje)
I have this issue with only ONE monitor. It's pervasive- windows explorer, flash videos, mp4, avi, mkv, when scrolling a web page....
Almost always a rectangle of tearing in the bottom-left portion of the screen. This is ridiculous.
Intel HD 4600; Haswell i5; z87
Windows 7 Pro sp1 on 160GB SSD
... What gives here? Why must this be so difficult?
23. Re: Screen-tearing with Haswell 4600JuliuzE Feb 2, 2014 1:25 PM (in response to sserra)1 of 1 people found this helpful
Hi All,
If it is happening on the built in display, then
You should check your windows aero settings on win7 and win 8.
Like start menu + aero and select the lower item ...For example I was on the classic theme which does not support aero. For me switching aero on fixed the tearing 100% with one screen. For cloned screen, I haven't tested. But I will keep this idea to select the tv as primary.
Thanks everyone for good ideas and sharing experience.
24. Re: Screen-tearing with Haswell 4600kevin_intel Feb 4, 2014 10:24 AM (in response to sserra)
Hi sserra,
I personally have been testing the Intel® DZ87KLT-75K board using an i7-4770K and I have not been able to reproduce any screen tearing issue so far.
I recommend you to update the bios and graphics drivers to the latest provided by Intel®. Besides updating these drivers, Installing the monitor drivers and testing different cables are good steps to take.
25. Re: Screen-tearing with Haswell 4600Robert_U Feb 5, 2014 1:06 PM (in response to jeroompje)
Hi All
I have replicated the issue in our lab. It is also being tracked in this thread, https://communities.intel.com/message/222400#222400 .
What I am seeing is a horizontal "tearing" particularly during high action scenes.. However, I only see it when I make the TV the secondary display in Clone Mode. I do not see it when I make the TV the primary display or in Extended Mode. I never see the issue occur on the 24" LCD display, only on the 50" LCD TV. I am continuing to investigate.
26. Re: Screen-tearing with Haswell 4600Arch_D_Robison Feb 10, 2014 1:32 PM (in response to Robert_U)
I'd be interested in knowing whether the RedFlicker.exe program from Image tearing demo with HD 4600 + Windows 8.1 also replicates the issue in your lab. The symptom is seeing any red on the display; correct operation should show only blue.
27. Re: Screen-tearing with Haswell 4600Robert_U Feb 13, 2014 1:31 PM (in response to jeroompje)
Hi All
This issue has been determined to be expected behavior when in "Clone" or Duplicate" mode while displaying content on two displays. Please see Microsoft Knowledge Base article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972194
The behavior can also be seen on some non-Intel graphics chipsets as well.
Please see the KB article for workarounds for the issue.

Does A Trustee's Lawyer Owe A Fiduciary Duty To The Trust Beneficiaries?
May 20, 2015
Authored by: Luke Lantta
There is seemingly a line – at least under Florida law – that will not yet be crossed in the expanding world of third parties who purportedly owe duties to trust beneficiaries. In Walther v. Kane (unpublished), the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed a federal district court's ruling that, under Florida law, an attorney retained to represent only the trustee does not owe a fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the trust. This decision stands in contrast to the trend in jurisdictions, including Florida, to chip away at the privity requirement when it comes to legal malpractice claims against estate planning attorneys.
Lawyers representing Florida trustees can rest a little easier for two reasons. First, although unpublished, a federal appellate court has plainly found that no fiduciary duty is owed to trust beneficiaries by a lawyer representing the trustee. Second, perhaps unintentionally, this opinion may help undermine arguments that a fiduciary exception to the attorney-client privilege exists in Florida based on a "beneficiary as the real client" argument. Under the "beneficiary as the real client" argument, it is argued that the trustee's lawyer serves the beneficiaries' interests and, thus, communications between the trustee and its lawyer should be provided to the beneficiaries. But, if the trustee's lawyer owes no fiduciary duties to the trust beneficiaries, then how could the beneficiaries be the lawyer's "real clients" when providing legal advice to the trustee?
One important caveat, however: in a footnote, the court noted that the plaintiffs "failed to plainly and prominently argue in their initial brief that they were intended third-party beneficiaries of the legal services contract" between the lawyer and the trustee and, thus, they abandoned that argument. This third party beneficiary argument has gained some traction in other jurisdictions when it comes to the drafting of a will or trust. That is, the beneficiaries allege that they are intended third party beneficiaries of the drafting lawyer's representation of the grantor or testator. It is unclear in this decision whether the argument would have been persuasive under the facts of this case or in the context of a lawyer representing a trustee (as opposed to a grantor or testator).

About five hundred years in the future, the polar ice caps have melted, and the Earth's surface is almost entirely water. The surviving humans have now taken to living in large floating constructs called atolls, all the while searching for dry land. The key to the location of dry land lies in a tattoo on the back of a little girl. The Smokers, led by Dennis Hopper, want the girl, and are willing to kill for her. It's up to The Mariner (Costner) to recycle his urine and keep the girl safe from Hopper's crew.
WATERWORLD. The film has become synonymous with others like it. The ones that go over budget, reek of controversy and ultimately tank at the box office. Granted, the Kevin Reynolds film (or Kevin Costner's, depending on which side you're on) eventually made back its $175 million budget from the overseas box office, but the film is still regarded as the biggest bomb ever (well, unless you forget THE ADVENTURES OF PLUTO NASH, BASIC INSTINCT 2, CATWOMAN, CUTTHROAT ISLAND, and so on). So after over a decade of miring in its failure, Universal has granted fans a new 2-disc set for the film, featuring the theatrical version, and the nearly 3-hour extended cut that premiered on ABC in 1998. Does the addition of 40 minutes of footage do anything for the film?
Regardless of version, WATERWORLD was and still is a fun-yet-forgettable trip for me. Don't get me wrong, Costner as the quiet loner and kicker of asses was great, but I never got the idea of 'MAD MAX in water' out of my head, even with the well-crafted sets and locations. It just didn't do it for me, even with the explosions and satisfying-yet-predictable ending.
The other thing was the fact that the film has some rather glaring plotholes that a reasonably intelligent person would spot right away. Take the Smokers, for example. How is it that they have access to cigarettes, the ability to make ammunition, and (probably the biggest issue) the ability to refine the crude oil in the tanker they use as a home base? Also, how is it that no one seems to be afflicted by scurvy, given that you need vitamin C? Sure, the Mariner has his lime tree, but how is it that the tree bears fruit when there's nothing to pollinate it?
Obviously, the film is one of the action flicks that requires you to suspend disbelief. A lot. Leave it to Dennis Hopper to break up the duh-duh with his portrayal of the goofy-yet-threatening Deacon, who is fleshed out that much more in the extended cut, making the character into more of a fanatical "bible" reader, though it's clunky in its execution. Unfortunately, this clunkiness plagues the entire extended cut, as the pace of the film slows to a crawl, a tradeoff for the character and plot development added. Also, despite the extended cut not being rated, it is unfortunately the exact same cut as the ABC broadcast, so all the edits for language and action are here. Shite.
So at the end of the day, is WATERWORLD still worth the watch? If you liked THE ROAD WARRIOR and have an inkling for seeing Costner recycle his own urine, and don't mind turning the logic centre in your brain off for a few hours, then sure. Those of you who despised WATERWORLD when it finally made its splash (sorry) won't be swayed by the extended cut, and are encouraged to seek out THE ROAD WARRIOR for their apocalyptic future fix.
Video: Since the two cuts are quite different in their looks, I'll break 'em up for you.
Theatrical Cut: Presented in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen, this is even more of a touch-up that the 2006 HD-DVD release of WATERWORLD. Gone are the edge halos and picture softness, and in their place are vibrant, perfectly saturated colours with some solid contrast. Hell, you can even make out some small object detail in spots! Great job!
Extended Cut: Not so pretty. Despite also being in a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer, this still carries the disclaimer that the film has been formatted for your TV from the ABC broadcast *groan*. Also, unlike the theatrical version, the extended cut is plagued by grain, edge enhancement and shimmering video throughout. There's also a softness to the picture and a loss of detail. Definitely not the best, but perhaps the best they could do with the source material (unless Universal really just wanted to get it out the door and not spend more money on it).
Audio: Both cuts are presented with English Dolby Digital 5.1, though the theatrical cut gets the added Spanish and French tracks. Like the video, the sound in the theatrical version packs a stronger punch, with more activity in the surrounds and more 'oomph' during the action sequences. The extended cut, on the other hand, sounds considerably thinner. What's great about both English tracks is that the ambient sounds are put to great use, with rustling wind and the water slapping up against the hulls of boats making for great immersion.
The only extra comes on the first disc (the theatrical cut), in the form of the film's theatrical trailer. No commentary, no documentaries on the production, no behind-the-scenes photo galleries, nothing. It's kind of expected that the film gets snubbed by Universal in one way, yet at the same time alienate the fans of the film. Hopefully one day we'll get the story on the film, but in the meantime, stick to the internet.
I should also point out that from the fact that the cover art and back of the case both contain errors (Dennis Hopper's image is flipped on the cover, and the technical information for both discs on the back is switched), Universal really didn't put much care into seeing this release through.
It's certainly not the definitive version of WATERWORLD, nor will it win over critics with the extended cut, but it's probably as good as fans will get for a while. The rest of you will wonder what all the fuss is about, and why Universal wasted their time on this.

For a long time when I looked back on my life 3rd grade was the best time I could think of. Later in life the best time was a summer in college where I was working outdoors as an assistant at an apartment complex. I was getting tan, getting in shape and living in a college town. The girls loved me for some reason that summer and I had more narcissistic supply then I knew what to do with, but I digress. That summer will be for a later post. Back to 3rd grade, I was once again the smartest kid in class. I had the admiration of the teacher and my fellow students.
My 3rd grade teacher adored me. I got straight A's in class, was extremely popular with the other kids because I helped them. I helped them because it led to more admiration of course, not because of unselfish reasons. One of the more popular girls in class, Karen, was my "girlfriend". Always by my side, we would hang out after school, go roller skating on the weekends and talk on the phone all the time. We were 9 years old so there really wasn't much else going on, it was as platonic as a 9 year relationship could be and she was not like Jody from kindergarten (read more about that in this post: Kindergarten as a forming narcissist, an event that lead to my need to regain control of my supply) I cut the bad-boy act out of my behavior as it wasn't necessary for attention this year.
Because of my advanced intelligence I was tested into a gifted program that year. One day a week for the entire afternoon I got to leave the classroom to join other gifted students in the school in a special room where we worked on logic problems, went on field trips to different cultural events, participated in the local invention convention (I built a better mouse trap!) and were given other various accolades because of our accomplishments. Being placed in this program gave me admiration from my family as well, I was slowly becoming the genius of both my close and extended family and got a lot of attention at family gatherings.
It was the summer following 3rd grade that really had a profound effect on my life. I had a cousin who was a couple of years older than me who I began hanging out with all the time. Prior to this we had always had fun at family events but never really hung out outside of those events. He only lived about a mile from me and now that I was old enough to wander the neighborhood me and him became inseparable. One morning while hanging out at his house while his parents were at work he said he found something in his dad's closet. He went to retrieve it and when he got back he put a video in the VCR player and pushed play. It was porn. My very first viewing of pornography. Definitely not my last either. From here on out every time we were at his house I asked if his dad had more porn. I was becoming quite the addict and this addiction has stayed with me for the rest of my life. As many narcissists do, I love my porn. I hadn't begun masturbating yet but that would soon follow.
They say that narcissists don't really feel emotional attachment in relationships and I think I started to objectify women with my early discovery of porn. It would be 5 more years until I had my first real sexual encounter and that was not a pretty thing. More on that later. What matters here is that I became a porn addict very early in my life. I would now hunt for porn in my dad's closet, he had some Playboys. I was always searching for porn in alleyways and grass fields where it tended to show up from time to time. I never kept in my house for fear of my mom or my step-dad finding it, I would always keep it in a hidden spot near the house. The porn addiction had begun and still persists.

I went to the beach last weekend for one last hurrah of summer. We spent the day lying on the sand, soaking up rays and frolicking with my friend's young daughter in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Exhausted from a fun day of sun, sand and surf, we decided to go out to eat that night instead of cooking at home.
Our waiter suggested an avocado crab appetizer that was so fresh and delicious that it defined the meal for me. I'll definitely be trying it again at home next weekend to capture that beach feeling in my own backyard.

The Hidden
Tuesday, February 17, 2009
The Hidden
Story : The police are hunting a man, who has committed several crimes, mostly auto theft. They eventually captured but not after a long chase and only after he crashes his car and is burned. At the hospital, the man rises and then proceeds to the man in the room with him. He then proceeds to open the man's mouth and a creature comes out of his and enters the man. The man then stands up and walks out of the hospital. An FBI agent goes to the police and says he is looking for the man they just caught. When he goes to the hospital, he takes a photo of the man and gives it to the police and says that they have to find him. After a long chase, the detective, who is frustrated, arrests the FBI agent and demands to know what is going on. He says that he is an alien and that the people they have been pursuing have each been taken over by an alien that he is pursuing.

How To: Dealing With Negative Comments On Facebook
If you engage with consumers on a regular basis you will encounter unhappy customers. It's one of the realities of the public marketplace, and you must have a strategy for rectifying situations where someone you serve is not entirely happy.
But doesn't creating a public space in Facebook open you and your business up to the possibility that your problems will be exposed to a wide audience? Won't this exposure damage your reputation and entirely negate the benefits of having a Facebook business page? Not if you handle negative comments and reviews in a swift, appropriate, and thorough manner.
Before making some suggestions about responding to legitimate concerns from an unhappy customer, let me assure you that you DO have complete control over the content that others post to your page. Any and every negative review or comment can be removed by you if you choose to do so. And in the extremely rare occasion where an unscrupulous competitor or obnoxious thrill seeker repetitively tries to sabotage you publicly, you can take aggressive action to remove their access to your page (for example, by blocking the computers IP address from which they are posting).
Most negative comments are not designed to take you down, however. The customer simply wants to vent and to be assured that you take their concerns to heart and will work to make them happy. Experts agree that, in most cases, it's best to leave the negative feedback on your page…as long as your response is positive and customer oriented. With this in mind, here is how you should handle negative comments or reviews:
- Acknowledge that you have seen their comment. By acknowledging, it can be just a simple, "I have received your feedback and understand your concern; we are looking into the matter right now." If the unhappy customer sees that you have recognized their displeasure, you are at least 50% of the way toward a resolution.But this acknowledgement must be immediate. When dealing with negative comments, over two thirds of your consumers expect a reply on the same day, and 42 percent of your consumers expect you to reply within 60 minutes.If you let a bad review or comment sit for days without a response, it tells the unhappy customer (and other readers) that you don't care.
- Apologize with sincerity, even if you don't entirely agree with the reason for their displeasure. Somehow there has been a disconnect between their expectations and your service. Let your dissatisfied customer know, in a public reply, you are sorry this disconnect has occurred and that you intend to make it right.
- Finally, unless it's a simple misunderstanding that can be rectified quickly in full view of the public, take it offline. Provide a telephone number or an email address where the unhappy customer can more fully express their concern, and where you can give them a fair hearing. Be ready to listen without angry defensiveness, and seek to make them as happy as you can, within reason. If you both are pleased with the outcome, you might even suggest they make another comment on your Facebook page where they thank you for a quick and satisfactory resolution.
The above strategy will go a long way in winning people to your brand. Every consumer knows that it's impossible to please 100% of your customers 100% of the time. But, while you may agree that this method makes good sense, you may be concerned that you have neither the time nor the resources to manage your Facebook page with the necessary vigilance. If this is true for you, you can turn to the experts at DISRUPT Media. Our exclusive four partFUNERAL Social Design Process includes constant real-time administration of your page. We monitor all activity, and we respond quickly, usually in 20 minutes or less. You can be assured that your brand reputation is maintained through our active management of your Facebook presence.

I don't know if it's the criminals, the roaches, the landlady or the ghosts who set me on edge, but they do. I long for the warm skin, the reassuring musculature of a man to roll into at night, but instead I only find a cheap foam pillow. I clutch it, and hold my pee until morning. The bathroom light is only reassurance, not guarantee.

Morton Feldman's late, extended work Crippled Symmetry, for the unusual combination of flutes, percussion and piano/celeste, is an sustained exploration of patterns and repetition/variation.

United States as a Superpower
What is the role of our nation is the argument of the four articles? The realist would argue to continue its dominance of the world and only be involved in world affairs when it deals directly with national interest. However, idealist would say it is in our best interest to be involved, to help others in need and to keep the world secure.
Krauthammer's view In "Unipolar Moment" seems to come from a realist point of view, he states we are in abnormal times, with conflicts with Iraq and other states trying to obtain nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, it is the greatest threat to the world security today. Also, the enemy could be anyone, Iraq today, North Korea or Libya tomorrow. Further, Krauthammer states with an unstable period ahead of us, the best hope for peace is the American strength and will, making the rules for the world and enforcing them when broken.
The U.S. is by far the only major power leading in toward the 21st century, rather we want that burden is another question. By living in an unipolar world, other nations will look to us to deal with all conflicts or look to us for economic support. The main argument in the article is rather the U.S. can support its unipolar status and from all indications it may very well can if by getting domestic support. America in general have to change their attitudes towards foreign policy, it is just as important if not more important then domestic policy. Another argument I agree with is that by withdrawing troops from certain parts of the world or not to give economic aid to other nations it will not translate to eradicating America's economic problems. In fact, our involvement abroad is essential to our economy, we need a stable world environment especially now with global trading and multi-national corporations doing business in other nation's.
There are many disadvantages by being the only big kid in the block. Although the cold war is now over, I feel there is far greater danger ahead in the 21st century. There are numerous nations trying to gather weapons of mass destruction and there has been an increase in nations with biological, chemical and even nuclear weapons. The U.S. has seemed to have alienated some of these nations and the people have blamed the west, especially the U.S., for there misfortunes and that alone puts us in an awkward position. An example would be Iraq, we have bombed them, imposed sanctions to try to destroy there weapons of mass destruction but in the course of acting we have fueled the fire of extremist in that part of the world to act against us. For now we have to embrace our unipolar status, act when our interests are threatened and get support from allies when conflicts arise.
In "Preparing for the 21st Century", Paul Kennedy discusses how the economically developed countries hold all the cards, and will prosper in a more technologic era. Latin America, Middle East, countries in Asia, and especially Africa are in social, political and economical disarray. Kennedy looks to the Far East as an illustration on how to improve economic...

Saints | Meeting for Drew Brees deal expected soon
Wed, 21 Feb 2018 21:19:41 -0800
New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees' representatives are expected to meet with the team at the upcoming NFL Scouting Combine "to try to hammer out what is potentially a short-term deal," according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It is expected that the two sides find "common ground" on deal that will fall between $20 million and $25 million annually.
Brees has already stated his desired to remain with the Saints, whom he wants to end his career with, so this isn't a surprise. The future Hall-of-Fame quarterback is still very much at the top of his game after registering a 103.9 passer rating last season. He ultimately finished with 4,334 yards, 23 touchdowns and just eight interceptions, while completing an NFL-record 72 percent of his passes. He's a no-brainer QB1.

Session 4: Waste Immobilization—Waste Form Development: Processing and Performance
This session will focus on the use of glasses and glass-ceramics for the immobilization of nuclear and hazardous wastes. The renewed interest in nuclear power generation and fuel reprocessing means that the processing, properties, and testing of vitreous materials also needs to be expanded. Similarly, treatment of hazardous waste for disposal or recycle is of current interest in many countries. The session will cover materials technologies for the treatment of nuclear, hazardous, and toxic wastes, which includes waste immobilization and encapsulation in inert matrices. New and innovative applications of materials and materials processes and alternative waste form materials and processing methods will be highlighted. Waste-form performance and accelerated testing to assess durability will be also covered as well as modeling of their behavior over long timescales. Additional topics include characterization and testing techniques to quantify waste form properties.

Mumbai: Fishermen and citizens organisations have opposed the proposed coastal ring road for the metropolis, for which Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan is
lobbying hard at the Centre for its clearance.
"The chief minister should have consulted fishermen
before finalising the coastal road plan," President of Akhil
Maharashtra Machhimar Kriti Samiti Damodar Tandel said.
"The construction of the coastal road would endanger
the livelihood of fishermen and destroy most of the koliwadas
(fishermen colonies) in Mumbai," Tandel told a news agency.
There are 5,000 mechanised trawlers in Mumbai and
around 8 lakh fishermen stay in 40 koliwadas here, Tandel
said. "We supported the Worli sea link project in the larger
interest of the people of Mumbai but we feel no purpose will
be served by the coastal road," he said.
If the government goes ahead with the coastal road
plan, fishermen will organise massive protests, Tandel said.
In a letter to Chavan, Hansel D`Souza, President of
the Juhu Citizens Welfare Group said, "we have read, with
great dismay, reports in the media about your proposal to
construct coastal roads along the coasts of Mumbai.
"With the construction of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link,
the Worli-Haji Ali Sea Link and the Bandra-Versova Sea Link, a
parallel coastal road will be absolutely redundant. Similarly,
the Sewri to Panvel Sea Link, if connected seamlessly to the
Thane-Belapur Road, will run parallel to the Eastern Coastal
Road," he said.

What is tinnitus?
Tinnitus is defined as ringing or other noises in the ears or head. It can take on a variety of forms including high-pitched ringing, buzzing, hissing, roaring or booming, or any combination of these sounds.
Tinnitus as a clinical problem has two aspects: the mechanism which generates the abnormal auditory sensations and the mechanisms by which this faint abnormal sensation is magnified and rendered persistent by higher centres of the brain.
The modern management of tinnitus involves a number of components, identifying the effects, teaching and demystification, sound enrichment, instrumentation and retraining tactics. The object, to banish the tinnitus to below the threshold of consciousness.
Hyperacusis and tinnitus often go hand in hand. It is a condition where there is an alteration in the central processing of sound, where everyday noises which in the past were acceptable, now give the experience of auditory discomfort.
Varying degrees of hyperacusis with or without tinnitus can be helped by a combination of explanation, counselling, and the appropriate use of low level signal sound generators.
What can be done?
The first step towards helping those with tinnitus is an extensive assessment, where the tinnitus can be measured and reproduced so that family members can actually hear the tinnitus signal you are experiencing.
Western Hearing Services offers individual solutions towards tinnitus treatment, so you never have to be told again "to get use to it". Contact any one of our conveniently located clinics to find out how you can start improving your lifestyle today or call us on 1800 677 011.

New York-based architecture firm SABO Project has transformed a loft apartment in Brooklyn into a quirky, but functional geometric space.
Reinvigorating a former die-casting factory built in 1913, this loft is now a spacious studio home with a mezzanine level, plenty of fitted cabinets and storage areas.
The loft's interior is finished with wood and white paint, with concrete accents to retain the original industrial look of the loft.
With a unifying geometric theme, even the stairs and walls integrate shelving space.
This spacious loft allows its owner to grow in this apartment as there is ample room for more, exemplifying what creative restoration can do for small, city apartments like this one.

Galloway to run for West Belfast?
A former Sinn Fein publicity director has suggested left-wing Scottish MP George Galloway would make a suitable successor to MP Gerry Adams in West Belfast.
Danny Morrison, writing in next Monday's edition of the Andersonstown News, says Mr Galloway could take on the "establishment" and raise issues in Parliament such as "collusion" and the Pat Finucane murder.
Mr Morrison suggests Mr Galloway would need to adhere to Sinn Fein's abstentionist policy.
However, he said he could be backed by Sinn Fein as an independent in the republican stronghold.
"In West Belfast, we can think outside the box, and, if so, what about you the people, welcoming into this revolutionary neighbourhood, Mr George Galloway?"
The article begins with the words, "I know it is probably a non-runner but."
Yet Mr Morrison, himself a republican prisoner, goes on to say why the Respect Party member and former MP for Bethnal Green and Bow might be a worthy choice. He describes Mr Galloway as "someone who used his status to tear strips off the establishment".
"He is articulate, personable, loyal and dedicated and one of the greatest supporters of our Palestinian brothers and sisters," he writes.
''Abstentionist problem'
"In 2005, when summoned to the US Senate to be humiliated and explain his stance on the Middle East he turned the anticipated outcome on its head and put American foreign policy in the dock."
In his article, Mr Morrison says that, if Mr Galloway was acceptable to the people of West Belfast, he would probably have to run as an independent because of the "abstentionist problem".
He adds that if republicans could be asked to vote for Alasdair McDonnell, SDLP, who does take his seat, then "I would have no problem in voting for George and with him taking his seat, berating the Brits over Pat Finucane, collusion, the bloodshed they have caused, their war crimes".
Mr Morrison suggests Mr Galloway could be an "incendiary presence" and "a voice for the oppressed of this earth."
He writes: "It would be us 'invading' them, a major reversal of colonialism, a statement of our internationalism."
In his article, Mr Morrison says that Sinn Fein has hundreds of "ex-prisoners and activists" to choose from when considering a candidate to contest a future by-election in West Belfast.
He cites Pat Sheehan, who recently inherited Gerry Adams assembly seat, Mairtin O Muilleoir, managing director of Belfast Media Group, who is seeking a council seat in Belfast, and MLAs Alex Maskey and Jennifer McCann.
A Sinn Fein spokesman said Mr Galloway was not a member of Sinn Fein and would not qualify for party selection.
