Topic: Hacker or Virus (computer) (12/15/11)
TITLE: Thanks, What Are You Having?
By Wilma Schlegel
I found the house and pulled in right on time. That's what we promise in our ad in the Christian Business Listing. Well, that and trustworthy service, all around. A woman about my age answered when I knocked at the door. She scrutinized me before she let me in. I told her my name - Keenan, and showed her my ID.
I'm always very careful who I let into my house. If only I could have been as careful about what got into my computer. Anyway, I showed Keenan, the guy my husband John told me would be here, into the computer room. "Here it is, it's a disaster," I said. "All I can get is this blue screen."
"Ah, the blue screen of death." I've seen it many times, I said to this woman. I asked her what I should call her as I started to set up.
Well, I told him to call me Jill and that's when my phone rang, well actually it was on 'vibrate'. It was Renee, my best friend. I'd been hoping she'd call soon. A finger on one ear, my phone at the other, I watched Keenan arrange his various tools.
"Hey Jill, how are you holding up?" Renee asked.
"I'm okay. I'm getting that computer virus taken care of," I told her.
"That's good for your computer, but it's you I'm concerned about. I know there was a problem over the weekend. Your family situation hasn't gotten any better, has it? I've got time if you need to talk," Renee said.
A little background is always helpful when you're fixing a computer. Maybe she tried a new game that wasn't really a game or maybe the virus was attached to a spreadsheet. It could help me to know. So I asked, "Do you know how or when this happened?"
"Oh I don't know," I said to Renee, "There are so many things wrong on so many levels, I don't even know where to start."
"I hear you," I said and I started my work.
"Hang in there Jill," Renee said to me. "Jesus warned us we'd have problems in this world."
"It's so frustrating and hurtful. Why me?" I asked Renee.
"Oh, don't take it personally, millions of computers get viruses. Although it does make a person wonder. It takes real ingenuity to make a virus. Sadly and scary too - that whoever made this probably has a psyche similar to an arsonist. But at least they probably weren't attacking you in particular." I gave Jill my expert opinion.
"A lot of people want me to do whatever it takes to preserve our relationship, but my family's been so crazy." I told Renee.
She thinks her family had something to do with this? ... I wondered at that, but I didn't make any comment. I just deleted tainted files; one after another after another, after another..
"I know, Honey," Renee reassured me.
It actually wasn't too hard to get rid of that virus. It only took a little while and a few more strange comments from Jill and I was finished my work. "Looks like your computer's back to normal," I was glad to tell her.
"Now more than ever, I really need biblically sound advice." I told Renee.
I took a deep breath, what did I say to that? It didn't seem like the right time to hand her the bill I was writing up.
"Remember what Jesus needed to do in his home town," Renee reminded me.
"Shake the dust off?" I asked.
"If you need to," said Renee.
Phew, I was relieved that she thought of that one herself. "Yeah, that's always good, or you could use canned air." I told her.
"Thanks so much," I said to Renee. "You don't know how helpful you've been. I would love if you'd join John and I for dinner tonight."
"That sounds great," Renee agreed. "What time?"
"How about six?" I suggested turning to see that Keenan was done fixing my computer and he was ... looking surprised about...?
"Really?" This was a nice surprise. On business time of course I couldn't, but on my own time, that's a different story. "Thanks, what are you having?" I asked.

Asian countries should keep their guard against the deadly Middle East respiratory virus, although in its current form it appears less infectious than originally thought, a World Health Organization (WHO) expert said on Thursday.
The Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) has already killed 287 people, said Mark Jacobs, WHO's director for communicable diseases in the Western Pacific.
Relatives of those infected, however, have not been showing any signs of catching it, he added.
His comments came after the Philippines last week urged its large Muslim minority to reconsider plans to join the annual Hajj pilgrimage, which takes place in Saudi Arabia, until the threat from the virus has dissipated.
"A spread in our part of the world is small," Jacobs told reporters. "If the virus stays unchanged, then I think that what we have been seeing is what we will keep seeing."
Later Thursday, the WHO emphasized in a statement that the risk to Asian countries remained small only if the virus remained in its current form.
"Given that it is still not known how MERS spreads to people, WHO cannot predict how the virus will spread," the statement read. "Therefore, it is important that health authorities stay vigilant."
"Our understanding of the virus and the disease it causes is continuing to evolve," the statement continued, calling on all countries to "continue their surveillance for acute respiratory infections."
The WHO said 15 countries have reported MERS cases, with the virus widely circulating in the Arabian peninsula.
Outside the Middle East, the Philippines and neighbor Malaysia have reported cases of patients who apparently caught the virus after travelling there.
These people had not infected others in their countries, according to a WHO report.
"We haven't seen big outbreaks in a community or anything like that to suggest that it's easy for some in the general community to be infected, [but]obviously we are keeping a close eye on that and hope that would not be the case," Jacobs said.
While there was always a chance of the virus spreading in health care facilities treating infected patients, "the risk to almost everyone in the world is extremely low."
Jacobs advised Asians travelling to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj in October to take precautions, including proper hygiene and staying away from people exhibiting symptoms like coughing.
The WHO has not issued any travel or trade restrictions or entry screening related to MERS.

Arsenal First 11 Nearly There, Lineup Almost SetJune 1, 2009
Looking at the players on Arsenal, you would think it would have won a few trophies by now. But a list of injuries, some poor tactical decisions, too much faith in youth, a tight transfer budget, and four years running; Arsenal has not even won a Carling Cup.
However, if you look at the team manager Arsene Wenger could field if it was fit, you begin to wonder what might have been. One of the problems is that Wenger doesn't know what his best team is. Well, to simplify it a little and work from two axioms:
1. Do not play players out of position.
2. Do not play formations that the players do not understand.
So how would I line up Arsenal? I would play four across the defence with a holding midfielder with two attacking midfielders and two wide attackers with one striker up front. You may call it 4-3-3 formation.
Sagna, Gallas, Djoure, Clichy
Fabregas, Nasri
Arshavin, Van Persie
Before you say it, I don't think Toure is out of position as he started off as a midfielder—and I feel that defensive midfielder is his best position.
Arshavin and Van Persie are in the positions which they are most effective—behind the front man and not in midfield. Fabregas and Nasri have the quick feet and work ethic to play in midfield (yes you can think of them as the Xavi and Iniesta of Arsenal).
Now the $64,000 question: Would Wenger ever play that formation?

Isolating a Variable in a Tricky Place, or Raised to a Power
Date: 10/01/2010 at 16:50:25 From: Trevor Subject: Isolating Variables Well, I am trying to solve for specific variables in equations like this: x = y + v(t) + 0.5(a)(t)^2 I can solve this equation for several of the variables -- but there are multiple t's to isolate, and a is in a very complicated place. I've tried to isolate t by moving y and 0.5(a)(t)^2 to the opposite side via subtraction. But that left me with terms in t on both sides of the equality. I tried moving certain terms back to the other side of the problem to isolate t, but even then I had more than one t. It seemed like a Rubik's Cube, the way I would move one part only to mess up another. I would love some help on how to do this. Thanks!
Date: 10/03/2010 at 10:57:39 From: Doctor Ian Subject: Re: Isolating Variables Hi Trevor, To isolate a, you would isolate 0.5(a)t^2, and then divide both sides by (0.5t^2). So that should be straightforward. Substitution can be very handy when a variable "is in a very complicated place." That is, you can write x = y + v(t) + 0.5(a)(t)^2 as this = that + other*a this = x that = y + v(t) other = 0.5*t^2 The only restriction here is that a shouldn't appear in any of the expressions for which you're substituting. Once you have that, isolating a is pretty easy: this - that = other*a this - that ----------- = a other Then you can undo the substitutions: [x] - [y + v(t)] ---------------- = a [0.5*t^2] I like to wrap everything in ()'s or []'s to avoid any possible confusion about order of operations. But as far as isolating 'multiple t's,' the difficulty is not so much that that variable appears twice. For example, your equation has just as many t's as this one does ... x = at + bt ... and you could readily combine those terms: x = (a + b)t x/(a + b) = t The difficulty is that this isn't a linear equation, so you really are looking for a different kind of solution -- not one where you isolate the variable, but one where you find a product of binomials, e.g., 0 = t^2 + 5t + 6 = (t + 2)(t + 3) True when t = -2 or -3 Do you recognize x = y + v(t) + 0.5(a)(t)^2 as a quadratic equation in t? In the general case, there are no formulas for isolating a variable in a polynomial -- but there are for quartics, cubics, or quadratics such as yours. Isolating t in this context is the same as using the quadratic formula. You can just apply that directly, or you can look in our archives to see how the formula is derived, and apply those same steps one by one. Does it all make more sense now? - Doctor Ian, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/
Date: 10/14/2010 at 16:18:12 From: Trevor Subject: Thank you (Isolating Variables) Thank you so much, that is exactly what I needed to know. You explained it perfectly and I actually understand it now. Thanks!

text: Hi DNBFORUM, I'm a old skool junglist and drum and bass raver and dj from back in the day. I have a massive collection of quality old skool tunes and was wondering if someone can suggest where I can list them to sell. (yes i know it's madness but it's time to say goodbye!) I have seen a few people listing on this website. Should I post them on here? I would obviously google each tune and probably list each vinyl a little cheaper than the average price to sell quickly. A friend of mine also suggested listing them anyway and he would then pass it on to Grooverider himself! If anyone knows their tunes its him! lol Any tips or suggestions appreciated

The large average chunk size allows to make good use of cache prefetching in later processing steps (e.g. compression) and reduces the sytem call overhead when writing the resulting lazy bytestring to a file or sending it over the network.

Romania has the highest incidence of cervical cancer in Europe, so public health officials launched a HPV vaccination campaign there in 2008.
They offered the vaccine to 10 and 11-year-old girls, the optimal age at which to get the vaccine since HPV, the virus that causes most cervical cancer cases, is sexually transmitted.
Cervical cancer kills 250,000 women a year, most of them from low- to middle-income countries, according to a 2009 report from the World Health Organization. The HPV vaccine, recommended in 2006 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the U.S. for girls beginning at ages 11 and 12, can do much to stem that toll, WHO experts agree.
RELATED: Doctors Urge HPV Vaccine for Boys
However, a follow up report on the Romanian vaccine effort finds that just 2.5% of the eligible girls received parental permission to get the vaccine. Researchers from Babes-Bolyai University in Romania reported their findings Sept. 24 in the journal Vaccine.
Parents in Romania who declined the vaccine for their daughters gave a variety of reasons why they forego the HPV immunization. Some said they see the vaccine as risky. Others feared it was an experiment that made guinea pigs of their daughters. Still others said the vaccine embodied a conspiracy aimed at reducing the world population.
And where did they get those ideas? Researchers didn't ask, but Seth Kalichman, a professor of psychology at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, has a guess. They may have heard that information from anti-vaccine groups.
"There are a lot more people being exposed to the anti-vaccine groups, especially on the internet," he told TakePart.
Kalichman has begun to research anti-vaccine group activities, funded by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Has he found the groups, widespread in the U.S. and elsewhere, more active now? "I'm not so sure they are stepping up their efforts," he says. Their efforts have been fairly steady for the past five years or so, he says. "What has changed is more people having access to their efforts," he tells TakePart.
That's because many groups now have a significant presence on social media--especially Facebook and Twitter, he says.
The groups have a conspiracy theory bent, he finds in his research, and they're equal opportunity--against all vaccines. "HPV vaccine is certainly part of what they are spreading misinformation about," he says.
The excuses given by the Romanian mothers sound familiar to Robert Bednarczyk, an epidemiologist at the Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University, Atlanta, and a clinical investigator at the Center for Health Research--Southeast, Kaiser Permanente Georgia. He has studied parental response to the vaccine and the effects of the vaccine on sexual activity.
"Many of the barriers cited by the mothers in this study are similar to those we've seen in the US, including concerns about vaccine safety, which have been repeatedly addressed by large studies in the US, and lack of information about the need for the vaccine and relationship between HPV infection and cervical cancer," he tells TakePart.
In his recent study, published in Pediatrics, Bednarczyk found no differences in sexuality activity nor pregnancies in girls who got the HPV vaccine and those who did not. That should squelch concerns, he says, about the vaccine promoting promiscuity.
RELATED: All Pregnant Women Should Get the Pertussis Vaccine, Officials Say
The new finding in Romania, he says, "highlights a need for comprehensive education" about the vaccine, HPV, and the disease it can cause.
When it comes to HPV vaccination, the education should include information about anti-vaccine groups. On their web sites, there is often talk about vaccine cover-ups. One site says cervical cancer is nearly 100 percent avoidable without relying on a vaccine--that using condoms and maintaining a strong immune system are key.
One anti-vaccine website cites deaths from the HPV vaccine.
On the CDC vaccine safety website, it says deaths have been reported to VAERS, the federal Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System, after HPV vaccines are given, but that "There have been no patterns of death reports that would suggest they were caused by the vaccine."
Calls to anti-vaccine organizations, including Vaccination Liberation, were not returned.

I became an atheist thirty years ago at the age of twenty-seven. Before that I was a Baptist and a chronic daydreamer. When I realized that I had made a mess of my life by focusing my thoughts on my fantasies and letting life take me where it would, I decided to stop fantasizing and use my mind to think only about things that are real. Six weeks later I became an atheist.
A few years later my job changed from fabricating and assembling electrical, pneumatic, and mechanical systems to a job where I would troubleshoot and repair these systems. It took me a couple of days to realize that I had to develop a different way of thinking about machines if I was going to figure out what was wrong with them.
Since then I have spent a lot of time analyzing religion using the same thought process I would use to troubleshoot a malfunctioning machine. Obviously I haven't been able to fix it, but I have some ideas that I would like to post on the freethinkers' forum for discussion.

Topic: Lifeguard (11/09/06)
TITLE: Hungry Hearts
By Ed VanDeMark
I got out of prison two days ago.
While that statement is true it is also misleading. I wasn't an inmate. I was part of a prison ministry team called Kairos.
This was my first Kairos experience. I entered the prison with many of the same misconceptions that most Americans hold to be self evident. I expected to see unshaven men with over developed brows and the lumbering demeanor of cave men. What I found were over 40 neat clean men most of average to above average intelligence. This was however the least of my surprises. These men to the man professed a faith in God and displayed an intense hunger to know more about him. Their knowledge of the bible exceeded that of the common Baptist. There was a joy rarely seen in most American workplaces. The most unexpected thing was their overwhelming affection for and acceptance of the ministry team that came to serve them.
I'm not naive enough to believe that I was in a room full of innocent men. I'm sure that American courts are not in the habit of convicting people without ample evidence of guilt. So what happened in the time between their sentencing and the day three steel doors slammed shut behind me?
I believe that being closed away from society tends to take away the pretense of innocence. Being reduced to the status of inmate and given not just hours or days or weeks but years to ponder that status gives way to reflection. With that reflection comes the realization that they need a savior.
Most of us on the outside don't have the harsh reality of a conviction that says "you are guilty". Most of us do not spend years pondering our guilt. Most law abiding citizens never come to the realization that they are in desperate need of a savior.
A person doesn't ordinarily call out to a lifeguard for help simply because they are swimming in deep water. That cry for help comes when they discover that they are drowning.
We tend to live our lives strictly on a physical plane. When we have good health, food to eat, and adequate shelter we believe that all is well. What we forget is that we are more than physical beings. We are spiritual beings and spiritually we are every bit as guilty as my brothers behind bars. We need the same savior that they have cried out to for salvation. We are not only in deep water we are in deep trouble. We need to cry out to the only lifeguard that is capable of rescuing us. We need to cry out in a loud and clear voice to Jesus Christ.

I don't think Rachael being boring is somthing to do with her posture or lines. It's due to her lack in charactor and expression as well as her speed. Caroline has one of the best posture but look boring to me.
Akiko Suzuki, for example, does not have so nice posture or lines as mao (or Caroline), in my opinion, but she is much more exciting to watch, I think Akiko is the most expressive among all current Japanese top lady skaters. I wish her all the best in Cup of China. Go Akiko~!

I am frequently blinded by my own white male hetero privilege, but Rex Murphy's recent beatification of the University of Toronto's gender-neutral-pronoun-refusenik psychology professor Jordan Peterson took my breath away.
Peterson, as much of the world knows by now, made a series of YouTube videos in which xe sanctimoniously refused to bend the knee to "political correctness" and refer to students by anything other than stock male or female pronouns. UofT administrators wrote Peterson a letter drawing xer attention to the fact that xer very public stance on the matter had encouraged trolling of transgender students, noting that xer policy violated the Ontario Human Rights Code's protection against "discrimination based on gender expression and gender identity," and urging xer to "stop repeating" inflammatory statements.
Murphy disses "urging" as a "weasel word" signaling a "lack of courage to command," dismissing, in a breathtaking due-diligence-free presumption, that trans students' fears of bodily harm in the face of actual written threats of violence are "unreal." It takes no special skill to understand Murphy's disdain as the knee-jerk reaction of a social conservative unhappy with trends in the zeitgeist.
But while Murphy may be forgiven for a certain lack of depth and insight, given xer public role as a professional curmudgeon, Peterson earns no such slack. Xe is a university professor, and therefore committed to the open-minded pursuit of truth.
In xer videos and subsequent public commentary, Peterson slides back and forth between a number of different claims, but two stand out. The first is that if we accede to a request to accommodate people's pronoun preferences, it will be a matter of time before we find ourselves in Stalin's Soviet Union. This is because, on Peterson's view, gender-neutral pronouns are a stalking horse for a thoroughgoing radical Marxist political agenda. I do not know whether xe actually believes these claims, but they are patently silly. Canada has had human rights codes since 1962 and is demonstrably more tolerant, more protective of personal liberty, and even further from electing a single Marxist to parliament than it has ever been before.
The second claim—and Peterson is very careful never to say this explicitly—is that people who think their gender is unconnected to their biological sex are maladjusted. Xe trumpets the rarity of gender non-conformity in a way that strongly implies not only that it is abnormal in a statistical sense, but abnormal also in a diagnostic sense. In one video, for example, when challenged with the observation that xe was not using people's preferred pronouns, Peterson responded with the shockingly paternalistic giveaway, "I don't believe that using your pronouns is going to do you any good."
These are astonishing views. As a psychologist with clinical experience, Peterson of all people should know that gender identity varies, and that it is psychologically important. Self-esteem and social approval are basic human needs. When people are systematically and unthinkingly told on a daily basis, either through word or deed, that they should be someone other than who they are, the inevitable result is intense psychological pain—the kind of pain that privileged white hetero males like xe and I are never made to feel.
In point of fact, no one is asking—let alone forcing—Peterson to use gender-neutral pronouns. If xe doesn't like them, xe can just avoid them. In direct address, second-person pronouns are already gender-neutral (you, your, yours, yourself). For indirect address, one can easily avoid pronouns entirely by referring to people by name, by "your classmate," by "the person over there," and so on. The only thing anyone is asking Peterson to do is to avoid referring indirectly, and encouraging others to refer indirectly, to someone by a pronoun that they strongly feel is inappropriate, demeaning, or implicitly censorious.
At the end of the day, the real problem with Peterson's view is that it is unkind. It takes only a little practice, and not much effort, to avoid making people feel demeaned by addressing them in ways that cause them pain.
I have no reason to suspect that Professor Peterson's unkindness is dispositional. I suspect that it simply reflects a privileged white hetero male difficulty to empathize. I have been there; it took time for me to cultivate the empathy and appreciate the importance of the effort. I look back with embarrassment at the fact that my learning curve was so slow. But I am glad to have climbed it. My life, and others', is better as a result.
So in a kindly effort to support the edification of a fellow privileged white hetero male, I propose that we all simply address Professor Peterson by pronouns with which xe does not identify until xe gets the message. Perhaps this would help xer appreciate how belittling, how mocking, and how humiliating the practice is. And perhaps thereby xe would also come to understand that exalting such deliberately unkind obtuseness as standing on a matter of high moral principle adds insult to injury—and represents an abuse of privilege.

Wolves reaction
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy was more concerned with the points not the performance after his side's late late show against Coventry City on Saturday.
'I don't think we've had a good team performance and we've nicked a goal, but that's three clean sheets out of four now,' he said.
'I haven't got the best squad of players in the world but I get every last drop out of them.
'If I can keep saying that, I will be happy. We defended well today.'

Program Types
One of the most important things to consider when choosing a study abroad program is the program type or format. The program type will influence your entire day-to-day experience. This is just as important as choosing a particular city or country in which to study. Below is an overview of the types of programs offered at Ball State.
Faculty Led Programs
Each year, a number of Ball State professors enrich coursework by leading a short-term course abroad for BSU students. Faculty Led programs are available every year, and typically change from year to year. They are discipline-specific and focus on an academic theme or geographic region abroad. Because they are often shorter in length they are a great choice for students who cannot spend a longer period of time abroad. Ball State credit, accommodations, excursions, and flights are often pre-arranged.
Provider programs are managed by a study abroad partner organization. Some providers allow for direct enrollment at universities abroad. Others have their own curriculum, or a mix of the two. Provider programs have local contacts on-site who can offer academic and cultural guidance throughout the term. They often have built-in excursions to emphasize immersion into the host culture. Many offer homestays or community service to enhance the cross-cultural experience. Credits are arranged in conjunction with the appropriate Ball State academic departments.
Exchanges allow for the reciprocal exchange of students BSU and partner institutions abroad. Ball State students enroll in a university abroad and earn credit toward their home degree. In some cases students need foreign language proficiency to participate in an exchange. Exchanges are designed for independent students who are comfortable with limited academic and social support. There are good options for students who are studying a foreign language or have a more flexible study plan. Immersion is achieved by integration, but this is largely up to the student. Ball State has roughly 20 partner schools around the world. Credits are arranged in conjunction with the appropriate Ball State academic departments. Accommodation is typically arranged by the student (student residences/apartments), with some assistance from the host university.
Ball State students can gain hands-on work experience by participating in an internship abroad. We offer customized academic internships all over the world, including Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Canada, South Africa, Spain, France, Czech Republic, China, and Argentina. Programs include job placement, accommodation and local support. Credits are arranged in conjunction with the student's Ball State internship coordinator.

It is that time of year again and despite some people protesting, lets face it, we all love the rumours and tittle tattle don't we?
One report I saw yesterday linked Wes Brown. There was no substance in this link, just the fact that Wes might be moving away from Manchester United as the player doesn't think the clubs final offer is enough for him. Sir Alex Ferguson told the press yesterday: 'Wes hasn't agreed anything. That is entirely up to Wes, but we have made him a good offer and it really now is up to himself. It's a possibility that we might lose him. It's disappointing.'
But the link to Villa? I'd say no chance, we surely have enough central midfielders, that said he is young and English, so fits the profile Martin O'Neill appears to be going for. Maybe MON wants to build the England team at Villa as opposed to managing it for the Nation!?
Rumour rating? Poor. With Zat Knight, Curtis Davies, Gary Cahill, Martin Laursen and Olof Mellberg already in place, unless we let Laursen and Mellberg leave on free's in the summer and don't complete the purchase of Curtis Davies, there would be no need for Brown.
Peter Crouch I've seen linked again and I believe this is one that might well be a goer. For that I guess we'll have to watch this space.
Rumour rating? Likely in my opinion. Crouch wants to play football and although he is at a big club, he is spending most of his time on the bench, he has already proved himself better than a bench warmer.
The Sunday Express claim that Manchester United are after £15million-rated 21-year-old striker Gabriel Agbonlahor, also supposedly tracked by Arsenal.
Rumour rating? Unlikely but every player has his price. Do we need the money? Only Randy and MON know that, I doubt it. Wouldn't send out a brilliant signal to let a rising star leave the club but then, business wise it would make for a very good transaction as he came through the youth ranks.
Reports last week suggested a deal has already been done for Liverpool's on loan goalkeeper Scott Carson. Martin O'Neill it seems disagrees! The Villa boss said: 'Is the Scott Carson deal going through? He is here for the season and we have heard nothing from Liverpool at all. Of course, that doesn't mean that you couldn't start talking about something beforehand and I'm aware Rafael Benitez mentioned something about it a week or so ago. But Liverpool haven't spoken to us and haven't spoken since Scott was capped for England.'
Rumour rating? Likely, but probably not until the end of the season. Scott has settled at Villa and doesn't want to go back to the Liverpool bench. Main question I guess is he worth a record breaking £10m or can Villa negotiate a better deal!?
The News of the World claim that Villa will sign £5million rated Derby County winger Giles Barnes. He was strongly linked to West Ham but it is now reported that Villa have jumped ahead of them in the queue.
Rumour rating? Likely, exactly the sort of profile MON seems to be looking at, young, English and still developing.
Villa, Fulham and Everton are being linked to Wolverhampton Wanderers goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.
Rumour rating? No idea, with no quotes, sources or substance to the report, I've no idea on this one!

I write stories for my enjoyment, or whenever I'm bored. _ I don't mind if I get reviews, 'cause I know that I'm not the best writer (not even close to an OK writer. -) And yet, I'm 15.

WOW! I was such a bad writer...I'm 19 now. I wonder if anyone actually reads this stuff as much as I used to...Anyways I don't know if I should update any of these stories,

2- I'm not for sure if anyone cares, therefore...
3) Why should I care?


text: I need to keep the password database of PostgreSQL in sync with the system database. I don't want to give PostgreSQL access to /etc/master.passwd, hence the solution for me is to generate a pg_shadow file from my /etc/master.password, copying only the revelant accounts. This could be done as a batch job each night, but it wouldn't be very convenient. It's far more convenient to rebuild my file each time master.passwd is touched. master.passwd can be touched by vipw or passwd. In each case, the pwd_mkdb command is called at the end (maybe through the pw_mkdb() libutil call). So I added execution of a hook script to do all the additionnal processing I need after the password file is changed. Here is the patch, is it interesting for NetBSD?

Here's everything you need to know to make buffs and stims:
First, add http://swg.dailybuzz.net to your favorites, so you don't miss the good spawns. It is a page I made which filters information from swgcraft.com to show any good current resources for Doctors on your server. Log in and you can also be notified when a particular resource shifts away, so you can go pick up your harvesters. http://www.iootnega.com/medresources/default.asp is another option, with less analyzed but more exhaustive resource information (including resources for Combat Medics and Shipwrights).
Then, you'll need some harvesters.
For buffs, you'll be collecting:two chemical types (class IV liquid petro, tat fiberplast)two floral types (lokian wild wheat, domesticated oats)one mineral type (dolovite iron)one gas type (reactive gas)two (unharvestable) meat types (avian, herbivore) For one set of buffs, the ratio of resources you'll need is: dolovite & dom oats : avian & reactive : class IV & herbivore : lok ww & tat fiber1 : 1.33 : 2 : 3 So, if you can't afford 10 heavies of each harvester type, try to approach this ratio when acquiring BER10+ harvesters: Chemical: 5 Floral: 4 Gas: 1.33 Mineral: 1For example, this means that you'll need 5 times the collecting-ability for chemicals as you do for minerals, so if you have one BER4 mineral harvester, you'll need two BER10 chemical harvesters to keep up and not run out of chem. This is all a rough guideline for when you're starting out, however, since you should really harvest as much as possible of every good resource that spawns, not being ocncerned with having appropriate ratios of each type. Note: If you're making stimpacks instead of enhance packs, add on a few extra mineral harvesters for the inorganic resources.
Also, it wouldn't hurt to invest in a BER14 Fusion Reactor (radioactive harvester). They have great collection rates, low maintenance costs, and no power requirement. You'll save on power in the long run. This is optional, as many shops sell power for a reasonable 1 cpu.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^COMPONENTS and CRAFTING:^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Buy a droid with 110 medical rating and a food/chemical crafting station installed. Name him something clever, like Flatliner (my droid), Rusty, DoctorNick, NurseBetty, Probulator, whatever :-) He will be your new best friend. He will still function as a crafting station even if he's out of batteries.
==================Adv. Bio Effect Controller: - Tatooinian Fiberplast: (OQ + OQ + UT) / 3 = 1000 (this formula helps you estimate the quality of the resource) - Lokian Wild Wheat: (OQ + OQ + PE) / 3 = 1000---------Max is 30 power/25 charges; but since you have two separate stats lines to experiment on, you won't be able to max out both. I recommend experimenting on charges first, then experiment power with any remaining points. I've made 11p/23c ABEC's with decent materials, but others haev made much better. >Tip: When experimenting and you're about to use your last point to max a line in an ABEC, carefully watch to see if it actually adds another charge/power point. Sometimes, the experiment will cost a point, and even if it's a great success it won't be enough to add another point to charges or power; that point would have been better spent on raising the other line. This is because the lines have such a low maximum (30 and 25), so it takes about 4% to gain one more point. So if you're at 84% experimental quality, and the max for the resources you used is 85%, then it will let you put another point in but you'll never get to the 88% you need - you'll be capped at 85%. It would have been better to use the point in the other line where you could get the full % value of that point.>Tip: Janta Blood can be used as a substitute for a Bio Effect Controller in any med. Compared to a crafted ABEC, Janta Blood has lousy charges but incredible power. So you'll make much stronger buffpacks with many fewer charges. If you choose to, consider using Janta Blood in Health buffs, to match the higher power of your Action buffs. Remember that ==================
==================Adv. Chemical Release Duration Mechanism - Class 4 Liquid Petro Chemical Fuel: (OQ + OQ + PE) / 3 = 1000 - Herbivore meat: (OQ + OQ + PE) / 3 = 1000---------ACRDM ingredients are tough to get. Herb meat is not extremely rare, as anyone exterminating Pikets on dantooine can harvest about 40 units per Piket with just Novice Scout. But it's tough to get 100,000's of this at a time like you can with resource harvesters. Once you get going with all the other resources, this will eventually become your second worst bottleneck.>Tip: If you enjoy combat, pick up a good PvE combat profession and Novice Scout so you can collect your own. Ask you guild friends to go on Herbivore hunts with you so they can harvest meat and give it to you in return for free buffs later. Remember, each person in a group can harvest a creature killed by the group, so even if you have a few good fighters and a whole bunch of novice scouts, it will help immensely.Class 4 Liquid Petro doesn't spawn too often, and when it does it's not always good. So when a good Class IV Liquid Petro spawn shows up, place as many large harvesters down as you can (get your trusted friends to help by placing extra harvesters using their lots and then giving you admin access), cause it may be a while before the next spawn!==================
==================Adv. Solid Delivery Shell - Domesticated Oats: (OQ + OQ + PE) / 3 = 1000 - Dolovite Iron: OQ = 1000---------Just experiment the one line as high as it goes. You should be able to get at least above 60 power on these, as the materials are common and relatively easy to get. I've made ASDS's at 74 power (98%) using some godly Rori Domesticated Oats on Sunrunner (above 960 both stats).==================
==================Buffpacks need the three components above, and additionally: - Reactive gas: OQ DR * - Avian meat: OQ PE DR * - Action buffs use any Organic: OQ PE DR * - Action buffs use any Inorganic: OQ PE UT DR *---------There's no easy formula, so just get as close to 1000 on each stat. OQ's most important, then PE, then DR (DR affects duration in buffs, but you can still reach a respectable 2.5+ hours using ~500 DR materials.) It's really important to get good quality Reactive/Avian in order to make good buffs, moreso than for ABEC's, ASDS's, and ACRDM's. Reactive Gas isn't too hard to come by; usually it'll have good OQ (800+) and average DR (300-600). Remember, OQ is key, DR is secondary.While herbivore meat is your second worst bottleneck, Avian meat will be your major bottleneck. True, you need less Avian than Herbivore per buffpack (about 7 avian for each 10 herb), but fewer creatures give Avian meat, and when they do it's not usually in large quantities, and you also need to worry about the DR rating. Again, it's great if you can harvest it yourself, and it really helps if you get your guild to go on a large scale hunt with you for Avian.==================
For other meds:
==================Adv. Liquid Suspension (used in other non-buff meds):Dantooine Berry Fruit: (OQ + OQ + PE) / 3 = 1000Talusian Water: OQ = 1000Not too hard to come by these. Talus always has decent water. Keep an eye out for good Dantooine berries, but don't lose any sleep over it ALS's are the powerhouse component of your stimpacks, so make a factory run of these and keep em on hand. IIRC, you can get close to 200 power on these; I've made about 175 power ones or so.==================
Lastly, get yourself at least one Food And Chemical Factory, or even 3 or more, depending how rich you are, or how married you are to an architect.
Note: to limit production to a single crate of 50, don't set the limit on your schematic. Just put in the factory exactly enough Avian/Reactive to make 50 (1100 each for most, or 1400 each for Health buffpacks). That way you on't have to split up crates of your components. You can always pump out a few more if you have extra components when you're done with your 50 each.
>Tip: When making the schematics, eat Pyolian Cake once before you click Assemble, and optionally use Bespin Port before each experiment. Also, be SURE to be sitting in a city with Research Center specialization to ensure the best possible crafting results. If you can, get clothing with +Medical Experimentation bonuses on it. 10 will give an extra experiment point, and 20 will give two extra! +Medical Assembly will improve your initial assembly, the starting point of the craft before you begin experimenting.
Over the long run follow these quantity guidelines to make one crate (50) of buffpacks for each stat:( Adapted from http://www.swgcraft.com/forum/showpost.php?p=71910&postcount=7 )
Walker's Shopping List:Format: Resource....x (y) [z] x = total units you'll actually need to have (y+z) y = exact units you need to do a factory run once schematics are made z = units reserved to make up to 4 schematics for each component and buffpack so you can pick the best one
First Run (crates of advanced components):ABEC: Lok Wheat.........15624 (15552) [72] Tat Fiberplast....15624 (15552) [72]ACRDM: Herb Meat.........10432 (10368) [64] Petrol 4..........10432 (10368) [64]ASDS: Dom Oats...........5248 (5184) [64] Dolovite Iron......5248 (5184) [64]
Second Run (crates of the actual buffpacks): ABEC................864 (800) [64] ACRDM...............648 (600) [48] ASDS................324 (300) [24] Reactive Gas.......7452 (6900) [552] Avian Meat.........7452 (6900) [552]
Note: This shopping list uses Reactive and Avian for the Action buffpacks, too, even though Action buffs can use any Organic and Inorganic. Action buffs are usually higher powered and longer lasting because when you aren't limited to Avian/Reactive it's easy to find really good quality resources. Some people prefer not to waste valuable Reactive and Avian in an Action buff, plus they like big Action buffs.Other people prefer to have identical buffs that all last the same time, so they use the same materials.Still, some players expect to get higher Action buffs, so they migrate their stat pools to account for it. In the end it's up to you. I recommend not wasting Avian/Reactive, and instead either use comparable Org/Inorg materials to keep the stats similar, or use awesome Org/Inorg to get a mega Action buff.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^MAKING MONEY:^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^So far, you've been spending a lot on power and maintenance and harvesters, but you've got nothing to show for it. Well now comes the fun(?) part: Collect these things, and you'll be buffing in Coronet in no time: - Ask tailor/BE to make you a +25/+25 wound treatment clothing item - Buy some +22 or better Bivoli Tempari (improves buff power) - Buy some +250 or better Vaserian Brandy (keeps your mind from depleting too much) - Sit down, call your droid, put up your Master Doctor title, and watch the people line up :-)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^There you have it. With the information in this thread, you should be be on your way to being a happy and successful buffer!
If you need any more information, message Creb on Sunrunner and I'll do my best!

Remember that Advanced Solid Delivery Shells have only one attribute: Power, which comes from 2/3*OQ + 1/3*PE. If it used 2/3*OQ + 1/3*UT then it would need another attribute.
You may be thinking of ABEC's, where the UT on the tat fiberplast matters for Charges.

Look at the item's experimental properties and %'s. For examlpe, 66% OQ 33% PE. That means that on your resources, only OQ and PE will affect the outcome. If none of the resources you use have PE, it will count as 0, so try to have at least one. If one of your resources has PE, it will use that number. If more than one have PE, it will average them in together, and I think it weighs it based on how much of each resource is used (haven't tested this).

Humbled UT embraces return to College World SeriesJune 13, 2014 Updated: June 13, 2014 9:42pm
OMAHA, Neb. - Last fall, they were exiled literally from their locker room and figuratively from a tradition of winning they had heard all about but seldom experienced.
No one knew if they would ever be granted access to either.

Thirty-four times in the history of Texas baseball, other teams representing the Longhorns had made the College World Series, and six times those teams had won a national championship. These new players were so far removed from that opulent legacy they might as well have belonged in the visitors' clubhouse, which is exactly where their coach banished them during offseason workouts.
There, in a threadbare room lacking the flat-screen TVs, leather chairs and wood-paneled lockers of the UT home clubhouse, players had to face the fact they were a long way from Omaha. They had finished in the Big 12 cellar last year and had not made the NCAA Tournament since 2011. And when they held a team meeting to discuss the situation, they made a vow.
"Things are going to change," shortstop C.J Hinojosa said.
More Information
CWS update
Who: Texas (43-19) vs. California-Irvine (40-23).
When/where: 2 p.m. today; Omaha, Neb.
TV/radio: ESPN2; 1560 AM.
Over the next few months, they did. And on Saturday against California-Irvine (40-23) at TD Ameritrade Park, the Longhorns make a return they all agree was overdue.
"This is where we needed to be," catcher Tres Barrera said.
For Texas (43-19), this destination seemed almost as unlikely a month ago as it did last fall. Although the Longhorns vaulted into the national top 10 by midseason, they dropped eight of 11 conference games from April 17-May 17 and then endured back-to-back losses at the Big 12 tournament to fall short of the title game.
But on the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament, they won two of three from Texas A&M at the Houston Regional to make it to the super regional in Austin, where they swept Houston. And now, the Longhorns say they are better for having bottomed out.
"You don't know you need to get better until you get smoked," UT coach Augie Garrido said. "And we did. It was humiliating."
Outfielder Mark Payton said the Longhorns were driven not only by this year's late-season slump but also by the misery of having to sit out the last two postseasons.
"It was tough for everybody involved," Payton said. "You don't want to be a part of that."
Said pitcher Parker French: "I've actually only experienced the downs, so this is really awesome."
Garrido, 75, who is trying to win a national title in a fifth decade, sounds just as excited. With only one year remaining on his contract, the last couple of years put his future at Texas in doubt. On Friday, he joked with reporters in Omaha about how he had found job security again.
And his players, who regained their home locker-room privileges before the season, are part of a tradition again, too.

"They went through a lot of good, and they went through a lot of difficulties," Garrido said. "And that's really what formed the mental toughness in the end."

...A definite collectors' item....
Together Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston created The Wailers. Bob Marley and Peter Tosh wrote the reggae anthem, "Get Up, Stand Up" which inspired the title of the book.
The author, Fikisha Cumbo, through text and photographs relives the era of emerging international popularity of reggae with its independent free flowing lifestyle, intimately documenting these two icons of this music from 1975 through 1983.
Legendary singer Roberta Flack, Marley's friend, writes the foreword. Fikisha allows the reader to vividly witness these years with Tosh and Marley in their Jamaican homes,"on the road," in rehearsals, in concerts and through totally uncensored interviews.
This book is a rare gem because it is the only published work to date, behind the scenes of the personal Marley and Tosh during this era.
Fikisha first heard reggae in 1975 when her friend visited Jamaica bringing back the albums, CATCH A'FIRE, BURNIN', and NATTY DREAD which ignited her passion for reggae. Through friends who managed Tosh and worked in Marley's band she was around Tosh and Marley in New York. Her first portrait photos are those taken during her 1975 interview with Bob who inspired her photography career when he told her in his Kingston home, "You take some different kind'a photo."
The book has 22 chapters with 15 pages of color photographs contributing to over 240 that have never been seen before. Chapters 2 and 3 are brief biographies of Marley and Tosh, chapters 3 through 16, 20,and 21 are the author's actual experiences with these great artists, chapter 17 looks at their impact on society while chapters 18 and 19 listen to Tosh and Marley's mothers, to Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt and Neville Garrick. The "So Dem Seh" chapter gives tributes, comments and anecdotes from friends,artists and associates. There is a brief glossary and an extended bibliography. An exploration of Rastafari and Marcus Garvey round out the book in the appendix.
GET UP! STAND UP! holds your interest throughout the book. It puts you there.

We are proud to publish this interesting and engrossing book . The pictures alone would make an outstanding book.

transfer questions
August 27 2012 at 11:41 AM

With these questions you can tell I'm a newbie here, hehehe.
Is it a good idea to plan a 1/2 day or day of bedrest after an embryo transfer? Should I avoid lifting anything heavy? I'm preparing arrangements and flights right now.
Respond to this message
Hi Antonialisa.
August 27 2012, 11:51 AM
Well my RE told me to just go about life as usual after my transfer, no bedrest at all. I was told not to lift anything heavy and avoid saunas and hot tubs. I had a lot of anxiety that day so I went on a walk for at least an hour that afternoon after transfer in the hot sun. Didn't hurt a thing
I think some RE's do recommend bedrest still. I personally think going for a nice walk helps with the blood flow though. Wishing you luck!

Re: transfer questions
August 27 2012, 12:26 PM
My Dr. recommended I take it easy (don't go to work afterwards), but not bedrest.
And don't lift anything over 40 lbs.

take it easy the day of the transfer; and don't lift anything heavy at least until the pregnancy test.

The most important thing is avoiding heat
August 27 2012, 12:49 PM
You don't want to take hot baths or showers. Anything that might mimic a fever would be bad. Lifting is also something to avoid. I did bedrest some transfers and others not, but did for both of my successful transfers. (Still doesn't mean it's necessary.)
Maybe for your own peace of mind, if you can and it's not to inconvenient, take the rest of the day off to lounge in bed and nap.
Wishing you luck.

I also had this question
August 27 2012, 2:34 PM
when I was going through my out of town transfer a couple of months ago. My clinic recommends 36 hours of bedrest, but retrieval and transfer were a day later than expected, which meant that I would have had to change flights to get the full 36 hours.
In the end I decided not to come home on a later flight - I only had 15 hours of bedrest. My clinic (whom I love) admitted that the research does not necessarily support bedrest, but they wanted to be cautious. They asked that I stay hydrated and recline as much as possible on the plane, not lift heavy things, and not do anything to raise my body temperature (exercise, hot bath, sauna).

there are quite a few posts on bedrest
August 27 2012, 7:44 PM
on here. As someone who travels between the U.S. and Canada quite a bit, at leasr 24-36 hours of doing nothing and laying down and resting is what I felt like mentally I needed, before getting on a plane. Whether it was physically beneficial, I can't say.
My last post-transfer experience (where I had success) is on this string here.

thanks, ladies!
August 27 2012, 10:02 PM
Thanks for all the posts!
My clinic does not recommend bed rest but there is something about it that seems intuitive. I know the embryo can't "fall out" but there is something reassuring about laying down for a bit to help it stick, even if this is not rational.
I think I'll relax the remainder of the day and fly back the next day.
As we get closer, I'm just so grateful for this Board. Thanks for all your help and advice. I've come a long way in the past few months!

I paid for the "Custom Design" upgrade, but the colors are not working at all. When I change the palette, two of the colors get giant X's over them that apparently mean "unused" and the context font turns white so you can't read any of the type. How do I get the font in the middle to be black?

Great location, very affordable Oct 22, 2010
A bit hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for. In order to get to this hostel, you have to go inside a restaurant and go upstairs to the hostel. If you are carrying heavy bags, this will be a challenge since the stairs are steep and its quite a climb up.
The owner was very friendly, he gave my boyfriend and I a map and circled all the things he thought we might liked. Told us where the cheap places where to eat, to shop, and where to get our money exchanged and where not to.
I really liked this hostel, we stayed in a private 3 bed room for 1 night and the other they switched us since they had booked wrong. They moves us into a 2 bed room (which is what we originally booked) but no problem, that third bed on the first day served to put clothes on. There are about 4 rooms per floor and each share a kitchen that includes everything to make food (minus the food) a refrigerator, pots, pans, plates, cups, everything. The only thing is since we share with other travelers, it wasn't the cleanest kitchen but also nothing to exaggerate over.
I recommend this hostel since it is literally about a 2 minute walk from the Charles Bridge and all the other attractions in Old Town. The staff was nice, didn't really need them since we were hardly in the hostel but non the less when we did have a question, they were there with the answer. People say hostels in Eastern Europe are much cheaper so I don't know if this was cheap but we paid 30 euros a night for both of us in our own private room... definitely the cheapest place I have stayed at. If I ever find myself in Prague again, I will definitely be coming back to Hostel Bridge.
