That Beck had to implore his followers NOT to bring signs (infringing on their speech rights?!) is very telling. He knows EXACTLY the sorts of signs that would show up.
Quote from: Gimpy on August 27, 2010, 02:04:43 PMThat Beck had to implore his followers NOT to bring signs (infringing on their speech rights?!) is very telling. He knows EXACTLY the sorts of signs that would show up.Hmmm, didn't know about that. As you say, how telling.
If you consider speed to be a 3D vector it doesn't really matter whether you call it momentum or speed.
According to The Christian Science Monitor (in an article discussing whether this is a political rally or not), it states, "Information packets provided to those who have registered to attend say flatly not to publicly display embarrassing statements. . ." (though wonder how they determine that since most of the teabaggers I know think it's a-okay to show Obama with a bone in his nose)They are also told to leave their firearms at home. . . wonder how well this went over with them.
By the by, anyone know what time this is supposed to happen? (East Coast, same time zone as D.C)
Some evangelicals on defensive over partnering with Glenn Beck, a Mormonhttp://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2010/08/27/some-evangelicals-on-defensive-over-partnering-with-glenn-beck-a-mormon/
"The Apostle Paul warns Christians against uniting with unbelievers in spiritual endeavors," Howse wrote. "While I applaud and agree with many of Glenn Beck's conservative and constitutional views, that does not give me or any other Bible-believing Christian justification to compromise Biblical truth by spiritually joining Beck."... "Beck asks Christian leaders to 'put differences aside,' but Beck himself daily peppers his broadcasts with Mormon distinctives because he cannot keep his beliefs to himself."
"Glenn Beck is being used by God - mightily," ... wrote Jim Garlow, an influential California pastor..."Glenn is not perfect... But his expose on America's sins is stellar.""I have interviewed persons who have talked specifically with Glenn about his personal salvation - persons extremely well known in Christianity - and they have affirmed (using language evangelicals understand), 'Glenn is saved,' "..."Christians concerned about Glenn's faith should judge the tree by its fruits, not its labels,"...wrote David Barton, an influential evangelical activist who is joining Beck's rally...
Watch for the inflated crowd counts, sure to be five or ten times whatever the authorities estimate.
Quote from: jedweber on August 27, 2010, 04:10:07 PMWatch for the inflated crowd counts, sure to be five or ten times whatever the authorities estimate. I remember when FOX did that the last time. They stated there were thousands of people at a rally when there were actually only a few hundred, they used footage from another rally that actually had thousands of people and stated it was for the rally in question[1].-Nam 1. at the time
Oh, I remember that, good times...Jon Stewart pointed that out, didn't he?
I remember Beck claiming that the big tea party rally last year had 1 to 2 million marchers, something like TEN OR TWENTY TIMES everybody else's estimates, and then he blamed the mainstream media for deliberately under-counting the crowd...
Fox also just reported that Beck has asked attendees NOT to hold signs, because "this is not a political rally." LOL, he's obviously afraid of being embarrassed by his loony supporters...
...would it be Palin/Beck 2012 or Beck/Palin 2012....
Glenn Beck Rally Attracts Estimated 87,000http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20014993-503544.html
ABC NBC national and local news said 'hundreds of thousands.'Geesh! I can't get it right!http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032619/#38895358I listened to it again. OK what was said was tens perhaps hundreds of thousands.The local affiliate did say hundreds of thousands.
Quote from: DVZ3 on August 28, 2010, 11:51:36 AM...would it be Palin/Beck 2012 or Beck/Palin 2012....Either way, it would be a Dream Ticket...for Democrats, and anyone who likes the absurd. Oh, please let them do it!
ABC NBC national and local news said 'hundreds of thousands.'
They raised $600,000 bucks. Six bucks or so per participant. Man they really love the vets the money is supposedly going to. (After expenses, of course.)At other tea bag rallies those folks spend more than that just on crayons.

My Various Hobbies...
This link leads to an article that contains a number of useful and interesting sewing links. I'm posting it for anyone who likes to sew and especially for Trixie who is getting back into sewing recently.
Sew Now What
Hi Gen.
I saw the sewing post and I was going to leave a wry (humorous) comment saying: "First time I've ever logged on and you've got nothing for me."
Then I read all the other posts.
Ya still got the magic!
I'm always glad when you stop by, James. But I have to confess -- on days when I have to get up too early, the magic does flicker a little. ;)
Oh how I wish I could sew! I received a sewing machine for Christmas when I was 16 and I still have it - I only used it a couple of times (shameful - but true) - now my daughter is 16 and wants me to sew her dress for Homecoming (in just a couple of weeks) - I have to learn to sew again REALLY fast...eek!!! Thanks bunches for posting these links, Genevieve - I'm sure they'll be helpful=)!
Remember, the fewer pieces the pattern has, the easier it is to sew. Simple pattern, good fabric, follow the directions, a neat job, and it will look great!
Ah, you make it sound so easy, Genevieve =) You're right, like a nice simple sheath (2 pieces?) - very classy and simple; but Lisa will likely want frills and lace and all that stuff (still...when all is said and done I'll try and talk her into a sheath=)
Thank you so much for the link! So cool!
Yes, I have been very industrious recently. I ran into some problems to day with the sewing machine. I would love to get a new one -- or a better old one that is heavy enough not to bounce around.
I started sewing when I was 12. My mom bought me a used sewing machine for $35. From that Christmas on, I had to make all my own clothes as well as hers. I loved it. When I was in college, I got my first zigzag machine -- another $35 purchase! I still have it.
In 1987 I bought a new machine with several stitches. Problem is it is too lightweight to hold up to heavy use and the bobbin has a tendency to bounce out frequently. Sigh.
Sorry for posting so much! I need to put this on my own blog probably! But thanks again for the link!
I sold my first sewing machine, an all-metal Singer that did just straight and zigzag stitches. I wish I had kept it, because I think it would still be sewing. I bought a similar, all-metal model for my daughter, and it sews great.
My next Singer lasted 20 years, but my current Singer had to be repaired after just a year of moderate-to-heavy use, and the repair bill of $85 was painful, since I only paid around $140 for the machine. It's doing all right at the moment, though.
CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.
(Author unknown)
IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
(Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1867-1957)
Thanks for reading.

NEW ORLEANS — Some athletes and celebrities headed to New Orleans for Super Bowl weekend are picking up hammers and packaging food for the homeless in the big game's host city.
The downtown area where most Super Bowl festivities will take place has arguably never looked better, with a renovated Superdome and resurfaced streets and sidewalks. But a closer look reveals homelessness, crime and outer-lying neighborhoods that still bear the scars of 2005, when levees collapsed during Hurricane Katrina and inundated more than 80 percent of the city with floodwater.
One of the city's biggest areas of need is housing. In some areas, flood-damaged houses remain untouched, gutted homes have been abandoned, and many lots are overgrown with weeds where houses once stood.
While in town, some athletes and celebrities are working with Habitat for Humanity and Rebuilding Together to help the city's rebuilding effort. Others are working with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Second Harvest, a New Orleans-based nonprofit community food bank.
"Every ounce of support helps," said Jon Luther, vice president of the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans, which has been working with the NFL Players Association for months to build homes in the city's Lower 9th Ward neighborhood, which saw some of the worst flooding after Katrina.
"For them to show such interest and generosity of their time to our city, we are so grateful," Luther said.
Through the NFL's Touchdown for Homes program, three homes have been built not far from actor Brad Pitt's Make It Right houses. A ribbon-cutting will be held Friday.
This week, more NFL players are getting to work on homes in other parts of the city. Some are working Thursday with Habitat for Humanity to build a new home for a New Orleans resident in the Central City area. On Friday, they'll work on another home in the same area for a local family.
But not all the goodwill is labor intensive.
On Friday, country music star Garth Brooks will join Saints players Mark Ingram, Darren Sproles, Curtis Lofton and Deuce McAllister to help the Starkey Hearing Foundation fit more than two dozen local children with hearing aids.
On Saturday, NFL players Larry Fitzgerald, Tommie Harris, Chris Doleman, Craig Stevens, Greg Jennings, Kyle Rudolph and Brian de la Puente will help the Starkey foundation provide about 100 hearing aids to residents, including 12 local musicians.
"Because music is the heart of New Orleans' vibrant culture, and hearing is so vital to music, I can't think of a more perfect setting," said Brady Forseth, the foundation's executive director.
This is the fourth year in a row Starkey has conducted a mission in the Super Bowl host city. The group will fit residents at the Musicians Village, a rebuilding effort in the city's Upper 9th Ward headed by New Orleans native jazz musicians Harry Connick Jr. and Branford Marsalis.
Portions of proceeds from some of the big Super Bowl weekend concerts also will benefit locals.
The NFL's Super Bowl Gospel Celebration, headlined Friday night by Grammy-winning rhythm and blues singer Fantasia, was launched in 1999 and each year donates a portion of proceeds and hundreds of tickets to local and national charities.
This year's benefactors will include the Malcolm Jenkins Foundation, founded by the New Orleans Saints player, and The Sharper Kids Foundation, founded by Darren Sharper — a former Saints player and brother to former Seattle Seahawks player Jamie Sharper.
Proceeds from the DIRECTV Super Saturday Night concert with Justin Timberlake and Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson of The Roots as DJ will benefit the Shriners Hospitals for Children. It is co-hosted by Mark Cuban's AXS-TV.
"Giving back should be natural," said Questlove, who lives in New York but has played in New Orleans with The Roots for decades. "It shouldn't be like a big event or a special thing. It should be natural."
Athletes, stars lend hands in Super Bowl host city

SOURCE: BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics, Inc.
March 18, 2013 08:00 ET
NEW YORK, NY and PETACH TIKVAH, ISRAEL--(Marketwire - Mar 18, 2013) - BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics (OTCQB: BCLI), a leading developer of adult stem cell technologies for neurodegenerative diseases, announced today that Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the intent to conduct a Phase II clinical trial of NurOwn™ in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. Mayo Clinic is the third premiere U.S. clinical site to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Company, following the University of Massachusetts, and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).
"We are pleased that Mayo Clinic, a world renowned and prominent clinical center, will be conducting the Phase II clinical trial of NurOwn in ALS," said Alon Natanson, Chief Executive Officer of BrainStorm. "It is very encouraging that top tier U.S. centers of excellence have expressed an interest in playing a leading part in our research." The Principal Investigator of this study at Mayo Clinic is Anthony Windebank, M.D., Professor of Neurology.
Initial results from Phase I studies in ALS suggest that patients with ALS experience a positive clinical outcome after treatment with NurOwn. The Company is planning to enroll patients into clinical trials at Mayo Clinic, the University of Massachusetts, and Massachusetts General Hospital as early as the second half of 2013 to further evaluate the effects of treatment with NurOwn in ALS.
"This is another step forward in finding a potentially effective treatment option for patients with ALS," added Mr. Natanson. "BrainStorm has presented encouraging preliminary data on NurOwn at many scientific conferences. This week, we will present some of our breakthrough final Phase I data at the most prestigious world neurology meeting, the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Neurology, on Wednesday, March 20th."
About NurOwn™
NurOwn is an autologous, adult stem cell therapy technology that differentiates bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) into specialized, neuron-supporting cells. These neuron-supporting cells (known as "MSC-NTF" cells) secrete neurotrophic, or nerve-growth, factors for PROTECTION of existing motor neurons, PROMOTION of motor neuron growth, and RE-ESTABLISHMENT of nerve-muscle interaction. The ability to differentiate mesenchymal stem cells into MSC-NTF cells, and confirmation of their activity and potency before transplantation, makes NurOwn a first-of-its-kind approach for treating neurodegenerative diseases. More information about NurOwn™ can be found at http://brainstorm-cell.com/index.php/science-a-technology/-nurown.

Diamond Multimedia is a new name here at Legit Reviews, but they have been around for a long time. Diamond has been trying to get the attention of gamers for some time now, but gamers are a tough group to get the attention of. Diamond released ATI Radeon HD 3870 and Radeon HD 3850 graphics cards back in November when they originally came out, but they were based off the ATI reference design and were the same as everyone else's. Diamond went back to the drawing board and came up with an Radeon HD 3850 that would be unique to them and be directed at overclockers and enthusiasts.
What Diamond came up with was a Radeon HD 3850 512MB dual slot card! They doubled the on-board GDDR3 memory from 256MB to 512MB, which should significantly help frame buffer performance in gaming, but that isn't all they did. They also tossed the old single slot cooler and went with a larger and improved cooling system that lowered temperatures across the board. To top it all off they designed their own PCB! As you can see, Diamond went back to the drawing board and came up with a video card that should impress most of the ATI fans out there. It is interesting to note though that Diamond left the clock speeds at default settings even though they call the card overclocked (actually they spelled that wrong also, and put overcloaked) on their website. The clock speeds are default with the core running 668MHz and the memory clock at 828MHz. Diamond should say that the card is overclockable and not overclocked!
When it comes to power supply requirements keep in mind that you will need a 450 Watt or greater power supply with 75 Watt 6-pin PCI Express power connector as that is the recommended requirements for a single card system. If you want to run CrossFire with two of these cards, then a 550 Watt power supply with two 6-pin connectors is needed. When CrossFireX drivers come out and four cards can be linked together a power supply larger than 550 Watts will be needed. The picture above shows the single 6-pin PCI Express power connector that is located at the edge of the board.
The custom cooling solution on the Diamond Radeon HD 3850 512MB Ruby Edition graphics card may not look pretty, but it is quiet and beefy. With the four screws that hold the fan shroud and cover on removed you can get a better look at what they have done. The DC brushless fan is made by Y.S. Tech and has the part number FS128015ML.
Taking a closer look at the heat sink, you can see just how big it is and why the card takes up two slots versus just one on the reference card. None of the Samsung K4J52324QE-BJ1A GDDR3 memory IC's are directly attached to the heat sink, but the air from the Y.S. Tech fan does blow over them thanks to the heat sink design. The Samsung IC's have a density of 512M bit and are rated at 1.0ns (1000MHz), so they should be decent overclockers for those that want to tweak voltages.

Wow Bob! Didn't realize i was insulting or crapping on anyone. I think if anything James and I are were joking with each other. I didn't feel James was being harsh to me at all nor do I think James felt that way. I think its always the problem of emails and the internet....doesn't always come across how you meant it. I have found James' comments on many subjects to be very helpful.
This has to be said:
I am sure all of us who frequent this site would have appreciated you having the manners of introducing yourself in the first instance formally as a professional photographer, together with a photograph.
There are too many "professional photographers" with "day Jobs" as it is.
This is what the intro thread is for - it helps everyone in the long run, so that advice can be tailored to suit, the level of experience - if any is required. This saves the possibility of publicly humiliating someone, in either direction.
It has been the policy on this site not to belittle anyone no matter what their experience, and no matter how their pictures arrive on our screens. This has been working very well indeed on the whole and a mutual respect is evident throughout these various levels of expertise.
If someone is genuinely trying to offer advice and assistance and you consider it below you then contact them privately by message or email.
James, has been a treasure on this site, (although he wanders sometimes) and I won't see him crapped on!
There are a great number of "masters of PS" around and offering advice on the site already, including people responsible for designing it.
If you feel that there is already enough photoshop expertise amongst the users of this site then I in no way want to step on anybodys toes and start offering my knowledge.
Your post was definitely not put forth a joking manner.....not so sure I feel very welcome here

Union district, while not possessing the coal wealth nor the farming opportunities of some of the other districts of the county, has always been a section of central interest due to the fact that the court house has always been here.
The surface of this district is generally best suited to grazing lands rather than cultivation, notwithstanding several fine all-around farms are found here in the valley of Twelve Pole. In the early years ot the county's development, Union marketed great quantities of the best of timber but this industry passed away with the olden days.
The names of the first settlers in this district include the following, who are direct ancestors of many of the present day citizens of this section: Jesse Spurlock and Samuel Ferguson, both of whom built homes in 1802 where the court house now stands; in 1806 David France, who is credited with planting the first apple tree in Twelve Pole Valley, settled in Union; he was followed by Hezekiah Adkins, John Stephenson, Thos. Chandler, Asher Crockett, Reuben and Wm. Adkins; and about the time of the war of 1812 these men found homes within the present boundaries of Union district: Hugh Bowen, Asa Bowen, Daniel Davis, Reuben Booton, Jesse Blankenship, John Thompson, (who, by the way, is said to have made the first liquor in Wayne county), John Newman, Benjamin Drown, Wm. Morris, Chas Bother, Benjamine Garrett, Joshua Stephens, Jerry Lambert, Abraham Stephen, and Burwell Spurlock.
The first marriage in this district was between Jerry Lambert and Polly Ferguson, while the first children born were Nancy Bowen (daughter of Hugh Bowen) and Mary Bloss (daughter of Valentine Bloss).
The first sermon was preached by Rev. Burwell Spurlock in 1816, soon followed by Rev. Goodwin Lycan.
Wayne, the county seat, has always been the largest community in Wayne county. . . . beautiful location, being situated on a hill in the horse-shoe bend of Twelve Pole. The town is 690 feet above the tide water level.
In the early years of its history, Union was a leading factor in developing a school system in the county. And a revival of this old time enthusiasm seems to have been awakening in the past few years. Union district is considering the establishment of a senior high shool, which. . . will be the second first class school in the county.
The future prosperity of Union district probably lies in the educational and farming improvements.

ASRock 939SLI32-eSATA2: ULi Dual x16 SLIby Gary Key on March 2, 2006 12:15 PM EST
- Posted in
- Motherboards
"The more alternatives, the more difficult the choice."This quote by Abbe' D'Allanival conveys our feelings about the ASRock 939SLI32-eSATA2 product. ASRock began operations in 2002 as the value brand group for Asus. ASRock has a history of providing very unique and, at times, unusual products based upon alternative chipsets at inexpensive price points. Although ASRock offers a complete line of products based upon mainstream chipsets from Intel and NVIDIA, it is their products based upon ULi, SIS, and VIA chipsets that are usually far more interesting. More information about the entire line of ASRock products can be found here.
The ASRock 939SLI32-eSATA2 motherboard is based on the ULi M1697 and M1695 chipsets. ASRock has done a masterful job in utilizing these recently released chipsets to create a board that might make you think twice about spending any additional money for an NVIDIA nForce4 dual X16 SLI solution. In fact, this board fully supports NVIDIA SLI technology and it works seamlessly with the included ULi PowerExpress Engine Enabling driver although the board is not SLI certified by NVIDIA. Of course, now that NVIDIA has completed their acquisition of ULi, we have to wonder how many manufacturers will be able to provide a similar solution utilizing these chipsets or how long this driver will be available.
Our initial impression of the ASRock 939SLI32-eSATA2 upon opening the box was like a child opening a birthday present, full of surprise and wonderment at the object that we were holding. We were impressed at the extensive list of features included on the board and were very surprised that a board this feature-laden sells at a retail price of US $85. After the initial excitement over our gift from ASRock wore off, we began to wonder if this present would be one that we would toss in the closet, regift to an unsuspecting editor, or cherish over time. The old adage, "If it's too good to be true, it probably is." began to enter our minds as we studied the board's extensive features and read the marketing materials. The only way to come to a decisive conclusion was to test the board thoroughly and utilize it in a variety of situations. We accomplished our goal of running this board through the gamut of test suites with various peripherals while also utilizing it as our everyday office/game system. We were impressed with the board, and our results might change the way that you look at a value based solution.
During our testing and general usage of the ASRock 939SLI32-eSATA2, we found the board's stability to be exceptional and it delivered competitive results in the latest synthetic and game benchmarks. However, our initial impressions were not as positive at the beginning of the test phase as the board would sporadically produce random results in the synthetic benchmarks while generating lockups in the memory benchmarks. Our issue was with the pre-release test BIOS and was not visible in the production release BIOS on the shipping boards. While the performance of the board was slightly lower in most benchmarks, the stability was superb with the release BIOS.
ASRock utilizes the ULi M1695 HyperTransport PCI Express Tunnel chip for the North Bridge. The ULi M1695 is designed to interconnect seamlessly with other HyperTransport based Host or Bridge chips and, in this case, is interconnected to the ULi M1697 acting as the South Bridge. The M1695 fully supports one PCI Express x16 lane or two x8 lanes for graphics cards and two PCI Express x1 or one PCI Express x4 expansion slot. The M1695 offers transfers of up to 16-bit HTT downstream and 16-bit HTT upstream links at 2.0 GT/s, ensuring an excellent communication path between the processor and connecting bridges.
ASRock utilizes the ULi M1697 HyperTransport PCI Express chip for the South Bridge. The M1697 fully supports one PCI Express x16 lane or two PCI Express x8 lanes for graphics cards and three PCI Express x1 or one PCI Express x4 expansion slot. The M1697 also offers transfers of up to 16-bit HTT downstream and 16-bit HTT upstream links at 2.0 GT/s. The M1697 provides dual channel Ultra-DMA IDE support, four SATA ports featuring NCQ, 3Gb/s, eSATA, Hot Plug, RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5, and JBOD operations. High Definition Audio is natively supported along with eight USB 2.0 ports and 10/100Mb/s Ethernet utilizing a properly supported PHY. PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet can be utilized as a discrete solution with a properly supported PHY. Further information about the ULi product line can be found here.
The ASRock 939SLI32-eSATA2 offers the full complement of options available including two PCI Express x16 connections (fully supports NVIDIA SLI with PowerExpress driver); one PCI Express x4 connection, three 32-bit PCI 2.2 connections, and a unique CPU upgrade port that fully supports the AM2 940-pin CPU with an AM2CPU daughter board. The board also offers HD audio via the Realtek ALC660 HD 5.1 codec, PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet via the Realtek RT8111B PHY, eight USB 2.0 ports (utilizing two USB 2.0 headers), four SATA 3Gb/s connectors, two eSATA 3Gb/s connectors (shared with two SATA 3Gb/s ports), two ATA133 Ultra-DMA IDE connectors, and IEEE 1394 support via the TI TSB43AB22 1394A capable chipset.
Let's find out if this alternative offering leads to a difficult choice.

Zoomer - Tuesday, March 07, 2006 - linkThis board would cannabilize sales of the premium SLI32 and xfire board that Asus sells for $150 IF it included voltage settings up to 2v vCore, 3.2v vMem, etc.
They would be stupid to do it. These people will pay the $150 anyway if they don't have an easy (cheap) alternative. For the rest of us, we can get busy with a 2B pencil, solders or conductive ink. ;) And forgo the warranty on it, so if it goes boom in a year's time, you're on your own.
Nice strategy. Would AT leak the beta bios for comparison's sake? (We'll smuggle it to xs or ocwb....:D)
poohbear - Thursday, March 02, 2006 - linkand for the record the dualsata2 is a very stable mobo @ stock settings, i have to give credit where it's due, but for overclocking this company's products shouldnt even be considered. Reply
sandorski - Thursday, March 02, 2006 - linkIt kinda sucks Nvidia bought out ULI, they were very innovative and really filled niche markets very well. Then again, perhaps Nvidia will let them continue doing interesting things there? Reply
Cygni - Thursday, March 02, 2006 - linkHard to argue with that... looks like ASRock/ULi has another mega seller on their hand with this baby. But I cant help but wish it had an AGP slot thrown in between the two PCI-Ex lanes, to allow an upgrade path. Thats probably the primary reason the ULi 1695 boards have been selling so well.
The IDE and SATA performance numbers are really striking in contrast to Nvidia's. I hope we see the inclusion of ULi's storage controller in future Nvidia chipsets.
All for $85... awesome. Reply
Furen - Thursday, March 02, 2006 - linkIf it had an AGP slot then it would have to use ULi's AGP tunnel + the 1697 instead of the 1695 + 1697, which would mean that it'd only have 16 PCI-e lanes for graphics. I suppose most of us wouldn't mind going for two 8x slots while in SLI but then most of us wouldn't really want SLI to begin with. Reply
JackPack - Thursday, March 02, 2006 - linkQuality doesn't seem to be bad either. Panasonic and UCC caps in there. Reply

The phosphorus blood test measures the amount of phosphate in the blood.
Alternative Names
Phosphorus - serum; HPO4-2, PO4-3; Inorganic phosphate; Serum phosphorus
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed.
How to Prepare for the Test
Your doctor may tell you to temporarily stop taking medicines that may affect the test. These medicines include water pills (diuretics), antacids, and laxatives.
Do not stop taking any medicine before talking to your doctor.
How the Test will Feel
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or slight bruising. These soon go away.
Why the Test is Performed
Phosphorus is a mineral the body needs to build strong bones and teeth. It is important for nerve signaling and muscle contraction.
This test is ordered to see how much phosphorus is in your blood. Kidney, liver, and certain bone diseases can cause abnormal phosphorus levels.
Normal Results
Normal values range from 2.4 - 4.1 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Higher than normal levels (hyperphosphatemia) may be due to many different health conditions. Common causes include:
- Diabetic ketoacidosis
Hypoparathyroidism Kidney failure Liver disease
- Too much vitamin D
- Too much phosphate in your diet
- Use of certain medications such as phosphate-containing laxatives
Lower than normal levels (hypophosphatemia) may be due to:
- Alcoholism
- Hypercalcemia
- Too little dietary intake of phosphate
- Very poor nutrition
- Too little vitamin D, resulting in
rickets(childhood) or osteomalacia(adult)
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
- Excessive bleeding
- Fainting or feeling lightheaded
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

Hello fellow East Bayers!
My name is Noel, I'm 24, and I've just moved to the area (near Jack London Square in Oakland). I am wanting to get back into tennis. I played mostly in high school (#1 in Singles during my senior year). I've managed to keep in relatively good shape and want to develop my game again.
My schedule right now is extremely flexible. The De Fremery courts are the closest acceptable courts that is within biking distance. I hope to start playing again ASAP (it's September Thursday 15th).
Hope to hear from you soon. Here's a picture of me on a catamaran.

Hi Noel,
If you're still looking for people, I'm a 3.5 player and can play weekends and some week nights. I'm in Berkeley but could travel a bit to meet in the middle. Have you played at Mosswood Park? Let me know if you'r interested.

In the end poor free throw shooting and several missed lay-up opportunities were two of the primary reasons the Lady Bisons dropped a 72-69 decision to Tennessee State Saturday night at the Gentry Center.
"It's the little things," said Lady Bisons coach Frank Bennett. "We missed a number of free throws and a number of shots around the basket in the second half.
"For the first 30 minutes we kept them off of the second shots. They were getting the second shots in the final 10 minutes."
In the first half the Lady Bisons went into their dressing room with a 31-30 advantage thanks to a lay-up by Brittany Duerk with 55 seconds left.
In the second half the Lady Bisons gave up a lay-up to TSU's Simone Hopes to give the home team a 32-31 advantage. The Lady Bisons came right back with a 3-pointer from Hannah Phillips for a 34-32 lead 35 seconds into the second half.
From that point the Lady Bisons took control and steadily built on their lead.
A pair of free throws by Valerie Bronson at 15:28 gave the Lady Bisons a 44-34 lead. The Lady Bisons stayed kept a double figures advantage, twice leading by 14 points, until there was 8:28 left to play. Kesi Hess connected on a 3-pointer for TSU to cut Lady Bisons lead to eight points.
Ironically, TSU never got the lead in the final minutes, but they did manage to tie the game at 62-62 on a lay-up by Denisha Mumford with 22 seconds left.
In the final six seconds the Lady Bisons missed three shots, a 3-point attempt by Miaca Bowman, a lay-up by Morgan Faulkner and a lay-up by Bronson.
"It got really physical," said Bennett. "We have to handle that better. I think they rattled us a little bit with the physical play.
"If we make the free throws and a couple of layups it's our game. We had a wide-open three and some second shots to win it in regulation."
Neither team was able to make quick move in overtime. With 3:34 left to play TSU's Obiageli Okafor got the first points with two free throws. She followed with a lay-up with 2:50 on the clock.
Leah McAlister answered for the Lady Bisons with a 3-point shot with 2:31 remaining. But TSU came back with a lay-up by Hopes and another free throw from Okafor.
Bronson hit a free throw to cut TSU's lead to 69-66 with 47 seconds to go. The Lady Bisons missed three opportunities to tie the game before TSU's LaDona Pierce hit a free throw to make it 70-66 with five seconds left.
With two seconds on the clock Faulkner found the range on a 3-pointer. Pierce then missed two free throws for TSU. With one second left the Lady Bisons tried a desperation shot that failed to find its mark.
Bronson led the Lady Bisons in scoring with 13 points. Bowers added 12 and Faulkner chipped in with 10. Faulkner also led the Lady Bisons in rebounding with seven.
"Morgan has a lot of offensive skills," said Bennett. "She is a good passer. She had a big 3-pointer. She was used to being that player that her team went to in those situations in high school. She has confidence in those situations."
Okafor led all scorers with 26 points. She also grabbed a game-high nine rebounds. Hopes added 10 for TSU.
TSU, voted the third best team in the Ohio Valley Conference in a preseason poll, is 2-3. The Lady Bisons are 2-5.
The Lady Bisons are back in action Monday on the road at Tennessee Tech in Cookeville, another OVC team. The tip-off is set for 8 p.m.
"Both of us have a quick turnaround," said Bennett. "It will be a hard-fought game."

This fits both my Trek Domane (700c non disc brake model) and my Trek Marlin (29" disc brake model). It is smallish, easy to use and easily portable to take and use to hold either of my bikes so as not to have them leaning against my truck prior to or after an event. From the point of view of quality and material thickness it WILL be durable. Has a small footprint. I found both bikes to be stable enough but over boisterous bigish dogs or small toddlers may knock over or pull the bike onto them but I have neither so I find in sound enough for my purpose. I would buy again if I needed another stand.

Gland, Switzerland, 5 April 2004 (IUCN) - Five experts from the Invasive Species Specialist Group of IUCN's Species Survival Commission are investigating ways to eradicate alien invasive species from Costa Rica's Cocos Island National Park, to save the island's unique native biodiversity.
Alan Tye, Brian Cook, Norm McDonald, Michel Pascal and Claudine Sierra all have extensive experience in the management and eradication of alien species in New Zealand, Australia, the Galapagos Islands and other countries. They recently carried out a mission to the island that is a favourite destination for treasure hunters due to legends about great fortunes hidden by pirates, centuries ago.
Invasive alien species are plants and animals that are intentionally or accidentally introduced by people into habitat they could not have reached on their own and then out-compete the native species. Globalisation, particularly through increasing international trade and transport exacerbates the problem. The costs of removing unwanted species are enormous and invasive species are not just an ecological problem but have many social and economic consequences.
Island populations of native plants and animals are particularly vulnerable to the effects of invasive alien species. Hundreds of new plant assessments from Hawaii, the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), British Virgin Islands, the Seychelles, Tristan da Cunha, St. Helena and Ascension in the 2003 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species revealed that many are being pushed towards extinction.
Cocos Island's world-renowned waters feature white tip reef sharks, hammerhead sharks, dolphins, mantas and marbled rays, giant moray eels, sailfish, Creole fish, green turtles and octopus. Its terrestrial life is marked by a high number of endemic species (those found nowhere else) of both plants and animals. There are more than 80 bird species, including the endemic Cocos Island cuckoo, finch and flycatcher.
One of the main threats to Cocos Island National Park are domestic animals that were introduced many years ago including pigs, cats, two species of rat and the white-tailed deer. Rats eat various native plants and animals while pigs cause untold damage through their search for food, destroying the forest understorey. They root up the soil, which is washed away by heavy rainfall, causing erosion and carrying materials into the ocean. The resulting turbidity of the water and sedimentation damage the coral ecosystems that surround the island.
The problem of invasive species on the island has already been studied in depth, and the SSC specialists based their investigation on a project for the eradication of the pigs, rats and cats, designed by biologist Claudine Sierra.
The mission's objectives were to assess the viability and methods of the eradication plan and propose a strategy for managing other invasive alien species. It was promoted by the Cocos Island Conservation Area, under the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MINAE), the Friends of Cocos Island Foundation (FAICO) and IUCN. Funding was provided by the United Nations Education, Science and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the French Embassy in Costa Rica.
In a meeting at IUCN's Regional Office in Mesoamerica, the mission scientists and representatives of FAICO and MINAE assured that the methods used to eradicate the invasive mammals would not affect other species on the island, especially certain endemic birds. However, more investigations are necessary.
The meeting included representatives of different sectors, including tourism operators in the zone. A multi-stakeholder approach to the problem is being sought with animal rights groups and institutions such as the National Technical Environmental Secretariat (SETENA), the National Protected Areas System (SINAC), various NGOs, the Coast Guard, and State universities, all being consulted.
The team is now working on a report which will outline the key findings and recommendations.
About the island
* Cocos Island is situated in the Pacific Ocean, 532km from the closest point on the continent, which is Cabo Blanco, on Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula.
* The island was declared a national park by the Government of Costa Rica in 1978.
* It was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997.
* In 1998, it was placed on the list of Wetlands of International Importance, under the Ramsar Convention.
* In 2002, Cocos Island was declared part of the Historical Architectural Heritage of Costa Rica.

My dad is at home with his parents now. On Thursday he was moved from ICU, where he'd been for 6 weeks, cared for very attentively after his surgery, to Hospice care. I'm glad I was there to see him that day, and that I spent time with him every day, up to yesterday afternoon, when I saw him last. He couldn't talk anymore, except for a word here or there, but he looked at me with his same joking gaze, and made me laugh when he raised his eyebrows from time to time. I held his hand a lot (probably more than I ever had in my whole life), combed his hair, and sang and hummed to him as much as possible. He seemed happy about that.
We all spent time with him, we all talked to him and shared love with him. He left us today, at 12 PM - my mom was there to see him go, and my brother. One of the last things he said, a couple of days ago, was that God would take care of everything. He was not an old man but he'd lived a lot, and he was tired. Give abuelito and abuelita a hug for me, Dad, I'll see you all someday.
My dad loved:
spicy pork rinds
singing to strangers
telling a good story
any food that was bad for him
Coca Cola
Hershey's chocolate with almonds
Church's fried chicken
action movies, the louder the better
bolo ties
saving things
collecting junk
lotto tickets
his grandchildren
playing Monopoly
Placido Domingo and Mario Lanza
his parents
fresh-popped popcorn
french fries
He could quote to you, word for word, books he'd read 20 years ago (I tested him on this). He had a beautiful tenor voice, and later in life, he sang a huge, sonorous baritone. When I was a child, he was very stern, always had a quick temper, and found it hard to show anyone love. As he grew older, he softened and was so kind to my young nieces and nephews that they adored him. One day, months ago, he apologized for how he'd been when I was growing up. He said, with tears in his eyes, "I was so smart! I thought I knew everything. I knew nothing."
I loved my dad.

Buenos Aires - Paris of the South
Not quite Latin America, not quite Europe, Buenos Aires is a delightful blend of old and new. Heavy on nostalgia yet youthful and dynamic, there is rarely a dull moment in the Argentine capital, the city often known as the Paris of the South.

Backcountry Babes was founded in 1996, as "Babes in the Backcountry", by 3x national champion telemark skier, Leslie Ross. At the time, Leslie noticed the lack of women participating in recreational activities, outdoor sports and backcountry excursions. She wanted to create a business that would provide instructional opportunities and adventures specifically for women.
In 2011, Leslie sold the company to one of her alumni, Jenna Boisvert, who renamed the company Backcountry Babes. It still operates with the same philosophy that Leslie believed in: to be mentors and guides for women in the outdoors. There they can learn new skills, develop confidence, have new experiences and share in adventures that build friendships and camaraderie. Backcountry Babes understands that women are naturally more reluctant to try things and have less confidence in their abilities than men. They try to provide communication and the emotional support that women need to gain the confidence to be able to increase their abilities.

LAKELAND | Prosecutors will seek the death penalty against Joshua Kimbrough, who is accused of killing his wife by dousing her with gasoline and setting her on fire.
LAKELAND | Prosecutors will seek the death penalty against Joshua Kimbrough, who is accused of killing his wife by dousing her with gasoline and setting her on fire.
Megan Kimbrough, burned over 80 percent of her body in the August incident, managed to live until Nov. 10. Shortly before her death, Ted Lawhorn, her father, said infections had jeopardized her recovery.
State Attorney's Office spokesman Brian Haas on Friday declined to discuss the office's decision in detail. Prosecutors filed a notice Dec. 10 that they intend to seek death.
"Just based on the facts and circumstances, the state felt that it was appropriate," Haas said.
The fire occurred the evening of Aug. 3 at 1117 N. Stella Ave., in Lakeland where the couple had been staying in an abandoned house, court records say. Neighbors saw Megan Kimbrough, 26, run from the house covered in flames. They told Lakeland Police detectives she said her husband set her on fire.
Kimbrough, 32, fled the house after the fire started, police said, and stole a van at gunpoint blocks away at an East Memorial Boulevard convenience store. Court records also say he stole a license plate and burglarized a home, taking credit cards.
Kimbrough told detectives he crashed the van in a North Lakeland swamp and made his way to a mobile home. Police found him hiding beneath the mobile home.
He struggled to remember the moments in the house that led to the fire, according to a transcript of his police interview. He told the detectives he abused drugs for days before the fire and had gaps in his memory.
The coupled married in Indiana shortly after meeting in 2007 and had a son together, Joshua Kimbrough said in an interview with The Ledger.
After the couple overdosed on heroin together, he said, they lost their son. Kimbrough moved to Florida in September 2011 to kick his addiction with the help of relatives in Polk City.
Megan Kimbrough eventually followed him down, he said, and they began to abuse drugs again.
Orange County Sheriff's Office reports say deputies arrested him on New Year's Day 2012 after guests at an Orlando hotel accused him of exposing himself and masturbating at a pool.
A jury indicted Kimbrough Nov. 27 on a charge of first-degree murder.
Kimbrough, who is represented by the Public Defender's Office, also faces charges of armed carjacking, burglary of a dwelling, fraudulent use of a credit card, petit theft and two counts of aggravated assault with a firearm.
David Sanders, Joshua Kimbrough's stepfather, wouldn't talk about the case when reached Friday.
"I don't have anything to say," he said.

I've got a Kindle and I really like it. Mine is the ad-supported Kindle Touch. The ads only display when you have it on standby, so I don't really care that they exist. I have checked out library books on it, and I like that ability too.The only thing I don't like is not specific to the Kindle - I still feel like there's no reason for an ebook to cost the same as a physical book. Especially when the physical book is 20 years old, and I can get a copy for a buck, but the ebook still costs $8 because that's the book's cover price.Dunno - if you have any specific concerns, let me know and I can tell you what I think.

Short-Term Disability Guidelines
office, clerical, and service employees
Effective June 2004
The University's Short-term Disability (STD) policy was designed to provide a bridge between the expiration of accrued sick leave and the (potential) start of Long-term Disability Insurance benefits.
Office, Clerical and Service employees who have completed one year of full-time, benefits-eligible service at Boston College.
- STD payments may begin as early as the first of the week following six full weeks of medical absence. Arrangements are made through the Benefits Office. Appropriate medical documentation will be required in order for payments to begin.
Note: This policy does not apply when an employee is eligible for Worker's Compensation benefits for the same period.
- Employees must use accrued sick leave first, but will be allowed to retain 20 days if they wish. STD payments will begin only after all sick days (less 20) are used. Use of accrued vacation days, prior to the start of STD payments, will be optional.
- The STD payment rate will be 75% of the employee's regular weekly gross pay.
- STD payments could continue for up to a maximum of 22 weeks. However, fewer payments may be available depending upon the amount of accrued sick leave (and possibly vacation time) used at the beginning of the leave.
- Employees will be responsible for their normal medical contributions while they are receiving sick leave and vacation pay, but once STD payments begin the University will pay the full medical premium.
- Normal dental plan contributions will be required throughout the period of disability.
- 401(k) retirement plan contributions (the employee's 2% and the University's 8% or 10%) will continue during the period of STD payments and will be based on the STD amount. 403(b) voluntary contributions will also continue unless the employee elects to stop them.
- Employees do not accrue vacation or sick leave while receiving STD payments.
- As in all cases of prolonged illness or disability, Boston College reserves the right to require a doctor's certificate and/or examination by a University physician.

As you know, I've been working on the quest system. Well, a big part of that has been getting the map system working, because I need to be able to show quest markers, and location markers. That in itself is quite a feat in an infinite world.
But in adding that functionality, I stumbled across a problem. For some reason things weren't displaying properly at all... I knew how the map code SHOULD work, but for some reason it wouldn't behave properly, even though the code was correct. I decided to look deeper and what do you think I found? I found the bug that had been preventing biomes and oceans from working!
Not only does this mean that the game's scope is now finally on track, but it means that the game world can finally be locked down!
I won't get too technical on the topic, but here are a couple of videos showing (very, very early and basic) biomes and oceans working!
I'm very excited... Expect to see BIG things happening in the game's development now that the world is locked down... BIG things...

Getting Published – Understanding your Contract
By the act of creating a work in tangible form (this including digital forms), the law says you own the copyright and related proprietary rights. As you consider publishing your work in a scholarly book or journal, you need to understand which rights you are transferring to your publisher and which you are retaining. Be sure to review your publisher's contract thoroughly, and keep a full archive of your work and correspondence. There are often copyright differences between publishing an article and publishing a book:
- When you sign with a publisher or a society to publish your article, the contact most often transfers all rights to the publisher, unless you request otherwise.
- When you sign with a publisher or society to publish your book, there are often varying degrees of what rights you may retain and what rights you may transfer to the publisher.
Author Responsibilities - Read and understand your publisher's contract
As you review the contract, you can be guided by three major questions: 1) What rights are you granting? 2) What rights are you retaining? 3) What are you warranting (claiming to be true)?
- What rights are you granting?
- Copyright
- Right to publish and sell
- Other rights
It is very common in scholarly books, book chapters, and article contracts for copyright to be granted/transferred to the publisher. If your copyright is transferred to your publisher, all is not lost; there are often good reasons to do this. And if you retain copyright, you may or may not be retaining secondary rights that allow you to do anything with it.
Language to look for: "author hereby grants, assigns, and transfers . . . all copyrights and the right to secure copyright in the name of the [author or publisher]."
The right to publish is one of many rights included within copyright. Granting this right gives your publisher clear permission to publish your work, even in cases where copyright is registered in your name. Often, the contract will grant the publisher exclusive rights to publish. Sometimes, this grant is non-exclusive, meaning you are free to grant the same (non-exclusive) publishing rights to other publication venues as well. As a corollary of publishing rights, the contract will often grant the publisher the exclusive right to sell the work. That is, to protect the publisher's investment in the work, the contract may disallow you from engaging others to sell the work, too, unless they have your publisher's permission. For example, it might be a violation for you to sell copies of a PDF through your personal website, or to engage the local copy shop to print the work for sale to your students or family. Permission must be obtained from your publisher, because you have granted them the exclusive right to publish and sell the work.
Language to look for: "the exclusive right to publish, co-publish, or cause others to publish . . . and sell" vs "one-time, non-exclusive right to publish."
The contract may also address other rights, called subsidiary rights. These might include rights to grant permission for others to use the work (as in reprints by other publishers, coursepacks, e-reserve, online "custom publications"), or the right to license translations or derivative works based on the publication. If your work is in a literary or other artistic genre, subsidiary rights might include performance rights, dramatization rights, serial rights, musical adaptations, even theme park rights. With your grant of these rights, your publisher becomes your licensing agent, and they will handle correspondence, billing and collections, and income related to licensing these rights. In another clause, the contract will stipulate how any related income will be divided between you and your publisher.
Language to look for: "the full, sole, and exclusive right to grant, sell or license the following rights."
- Copyright
- Republication
- Competitive/derivative work
- Institutional Repository
In some contracts-often in contracts on creative work-the author is said to retain copyright. This is achieved by registering copyright in the author's name instead of the publisher's, and it can be arranged by mutual consent in any publication contract. However, it is important not to over-interpret what this retains. Copyright is essentially a cover term for a bundle of specific rights (publishing, licensing, selling, etc.). Without an exclusive transfer of most of those specific rights, the publisher will have little incentive to publish the work. But if those rights are transferred, then registering the copyright in the author's name becomes a mere courtesy, and actually retains little power over the work for the author.
Language to look for: "secure copyright and renewals thereof in the United States . . . in the name of the Author."
Sometimes the contract will retain republication rights for the author. This is often the case, for example, when the work is a short contribution included along with contributions by other authors/creators-an article, a poem, a photo, a chapter in a book. In these cases, you will not need formal permission from your publisher to submit the work for publication elsewhere in the future. With this right often comes the contractual duty to acknowledge your original publisher and copyright date in any republication.
Language to look for: "Author retains the right to republish . . . subject only to" etc.
Normally, a publisher will not agree to publish your work if you intend to release a competitive or derivative piece based on the same research, or an abridgement of the work. This is called "protection of the work," because the second publication may reduce demand for the first. However, occasionally, the contract will also allow this.
Language to look for: "Author retains the right to publish a work of similar character . . . subject only to" etc.
Newer publishing contracts increasingly are written to accommodate the need of academic authors to deposit their work with their local IR. Publishers sometimes see this as a risk to the work, especially where institutions have mutual access agreements with other institutions, or general open access policies. If language allowing this is not included in the contract, it is often possible to get the publisher to insert it or to include an addendum allowing deposit in the IR.
Language to look for: "author retains the right to deposit an electronic copy of the work in her/his institutional repository," etc.
- Authorship
- Ownership
- Power/authority
- Permissions
- Libel, unlawful, etc.
- Indemnity
Normally, the contract will ask you to warrant that you are the true "sole and original" creator of the work. In case of a future dispute over rights, this shows that your publisher acted in a good-faith belief that you were the author/creator-because you warranted it was so.
Language to look for: "Author warrants that the Work is original with [you] . . . that [you are] the sole and original creator thereof."
This is different from authorship, because sometimes ownership of a work is not held by the person who created it. A common example is a work made for hire, in which the author is only an employee or contractor of the copyright owner. Ownership likewise might have been sold, bequeathed, granted, or otherwise transferred to someone beside the creator-like another publisher. Warranting ownership again indicates to your publisher that they are contracting in good faith.
Language to look for: "that the Author is the sole owner of the rights granted herein"
By warranting that you have the authority and power to make the agreement (to grant the rights you are granting in the contract), you are assuring your publisher that the work is not bound by legal constraints-as it would be if there were a lien on it, or if it were currently the subject of a legal dispute, like an inheritance or divorce.
Language to look for: "that the Author has full power and authority to make this agreement . . . that no right in the work has been sold, mortgaged, or otherwise disposed of; that the work is free from all liens and claims."
Many scholarly and some creative publications include or embed work that was created by someone else (including students). By warranting that you have permission to use the embedded work, you are assuring your publisher that you have cleared permissions with whoever controls the rights to reprint, or that you have not exceeded the bounds of fair use under the Copyright Act. Normally, you will need to provide originals or copies of written permissions during the editorial process.
Language to look for: "that the Work does not infringe any copyright or violate any proprietary rights."
Often, the contract will include your formal warrant that your work contains nothing libelous or unlawful, that it does not infringe any rights belonging to others, and is not an invasion of privacy. Exposure to a libel suit is one of the greater risks in publishing, so, in this clause, your publisher is asking for your formal warrant that what you have presented in the work as fact about other individuals or entities is indeed factual and documentable, and that where you are expressing opinions that might be objectionable, those are clearly represented as opinions.
Language to look for: "does not contain any scandalous or libelous matter, or invade the privacy of any person."
Here you agree to take full legal responsibility for the content of the work. You agree that, should a legal action be filed, you will indemnify your publisher against negative judgments.
Language to look for: "agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the publisher against all claims, demands, suits, losses, damages, costs, and expenses incurred by reason of" etc.

Linux bugs
Having finally got my mac laptop to run Linux natively I've been able to do a brew day using the Linux version and have a few small bugs that I've found:
None of these have been show stoppers though and I've been very pleased to be able to use the software on Linux. Cheers!
- Date uses American ordering despite using en_GB locale.
- Extremely slow to redraw user interface despite using macbookpro8,3 - for example you can see graph lines being drawn when switching tabs between style and schedule; dragging the list divider is very slow to update. (This is unusual as most applications feel faster in Linux on this computer than in OS X.) May be a real basic problem.
- Print quality and resolution is very low (seems to have been a bug in real basic that may or may not now be fixed - see http://forums.realsoftware.com/viewtopi ... =8&t=37988?)
- Print preview just prints to the printer.
- Print to pdf results in a low resolution pdf with subpixel antialiasing (red/green/blue fringes) which looks bad when printed. The image being saved has obviously been rendered for on-screen display.
- When switching from Imperial to Metric volume units the "total water" units don't change until after a restart. (May be a bug on all platforms - I've not checked.)
None of these have been show stoppers though and I've been very pleased to be able to use the software on Linux. Cheers!
