Our three week old baby was rushed to the ER with a heart rate of 280 beats per minute and almost suffered complete heart failure. It was the scariest moments of our lives! After 5 days in the hospital, his heart completely recovered and he was given the OK to come home. He was diagnosed with SVT.
We give him heart medicine to keep his rate low, check it with a stethoscope, and go to a cardiolgist once a month. We are living in fear that it might happen again.
Anyone else have an incident with SVT?

Propritory software… such a pain
I recently got my 1.5 TB external storage(usb) unit, which i had planed to use as a shared datastore, between:
- my laptop(Dell D630)(usually runs Gentoo, sometimes Debian-Lenny)
- Sweta(my wife)'s laptop(MacBook Black running OS X Snow Leopard)
- our desktop at home (runs Ubuntu(as of now), which im planning to move to Lenny too, as Ubuntu is obnoxiously irritating)(this one was supposed to be the permanent docking station for the unit as well)
So given the situation, the disk was obviously going to live most of its life flirting with GNU/Linux setups, so it made sense to have it on ext3 (or ext2/jfs/xfs etc?). So, i did the partition tables then mkfs.ext3, some spicing up with tune2fs and after e2labeling it, with some amount of satisfaction mounted the partitions to verify i had done them right.
Having verified disk's working state, i unmounted and jacked the disk into the MacBook(OS X) which decided not to mount it. dmesg showed kernel figured the disk was there, which indicated to me the reason for it not being mounted(it probably didn't know what ext3 was). Some reading on internet revealed i needed ext2fsx to save the day. My attempt to install it however, was thwarted with a not so intuitive error message(which gave me no clue as to what the fuck was wrong with my installation). With some frustration, i accepted that user friendly softwares are supposed to obfuscate the error messages/stack traces, so that user gets no fucking clue about failure and has no way to fix it(not quite what i call 'user friendly', but whatever). Some more reading indicated i needed MacFUSE and FuseExt2 to do userspace shit since my kernel didn't think i as someone who paid for the piece of shit(OS X) deserved the right to use other filesystems than HFS+ and crappy windows file systems(like NTFS and FAT32).
FuseExt2 made it work alright, but automount was not writable and doing writable mount required '-o force' option, which essentially meant Sweta had to hit the terminal every time she jacked the disk in, but that was no more than tip of the iceberg. Actually mounting the ext3 volume, as we figured, was a fourty minute process, as you are forced to wait after the mount command returns, for Finder to unfreeze and mounted volume to appear. User friendly, isn't it?
Having it mounted was however, not the end of my miseries. We tried to transfer a movie(700 odd MBs worth of data i believe), which took forever to get to 33%, not cool by any standards. I finally had to give up and cancel the transfer, and then uninstalled FuseExt2.
Irritated, i popped the Disk Utility app, and started my hunt for options. It seemed to have Ext2 as one of the items in filesystem selection box on the repartition tab, which i decided to go with, only to find it harassing my new disk for one and a half hour without moving the progress bar beyond 50%. I finally ran out of patience and unplugged it. On jacking it into my Dell, fdisk revealed the state of affairs. Mac had made an ass of my disk, the partition table was total mess(and by the way, it hadn't even begun creating the second partition(i had requested two ext2 partitions to start with). I don't know what world OS X team lives in, but in the world that i know, it usually doesn't make sense to write the partition table after formatting the filesystem unless you enjoy doing the same thing over and over. Anyways, i finally had to redo the partition cutting exercise and decided to go with ext2 this time, as it seemed like mac would read that. But guess what?, i jacked the disk into mac only to find out it does not read ext2 either. Fuck! Why does disk utility have an option to create partition using format the OS can't read?
Annoyed and frustrated, i gave up and decided to have it the Mac way. Once again i resorted to disk utility in order to create 2 Mac Extended(HFS+ partitions). Surprisingly, the partitioning tool that took one and a fucking half hour without completing even one of the two ext2 volumes i requested, managed to finish HFS+ on a 1.5 TB disk under 2 minutes flat.
Those who compile the Linux kernel for themselves know that HFS+ support(under file systems -> miscellaneous…) is not default. You have to enable it and recompile. I had to go back to menuconfig, do the hunting, enable it as a module, make it, modules_install and modprobe it before i could use the fucked up proprietory filesystem the jack-ass created. All because OS X doesn't know one of the most widely used filesystems in GNU/Linux world(i failed to get any reasons for it supporting NTFS and FAT filesystems inspite of it being a flavour of a very respected Unix distribution, such a bad ass child). Even though i had to compile the module to get things flying, it took me no more than 3 minutes. Thats usability for you.
End of the day, it worked! But i had to compromise. I had to do it the proprietory way, the mac way. You pay for the software and get your license, but even after you own it, you pay every single day, not in terms of money but freedom. You just don't have a choice. The software decides what you can and can't do on the hardware you own, and fighting your way through is insanely difficult and grossly unproductive excercise. A good software should always help the user and never come in the way. I don't know about you, but i do not remember anything ever coming anywhere close to GNU/Linux when it comes to usability.
Software being a dumb-ass tantamounts to it being unusable and un-userfriendly. I can only hope propritory software makers will someday figure what a pain in the butt products they create are, and will start to work towards making user's life easy and the softwares usable. I really feel sorry for users that have to put up with this kinda shit everyday.

Cowboys Stadium: A Fan's Eye View
I have had the absolute luxury of attending four home games this year, in our inaugural season in the new, breathtaking stadium. I also attended the Big 12 Championship game between Texas and Nebraska, but that being said let me start from the beginning.
The first game I went to was Monday Night Football against the Panthers. I was so dang excited and in awe of the stadium that I am thankful I went in several hours early to take it all in.The fans were pretty lively as the minutes ticked away to the kickoff, as a matter of fact I specifically remember getting the chills when they played the intro to MNF on the big screen and when we all heard the anthem to MNF everyone was going crazy …and then we watched a half that ended with Carolina up 3-0. That does sort of take the wind out of your sails.
I sat in the upper level for this game and there were several groups trying to start chants and even the dreaded wave, and it was a decent atmosphere. There were a lot of cheers during the defensive series.
The second game I attended was a 3 o'clock kickoff vs Atlanta. I was very lucky to get free lower level tickets on the 15th row. This is where I saw a marked difference. There was little to zero passion down there. As a matter of fact, there were at least 10 empty seats on our row! The face value of these tickets were $375.00 each, so I seriously doubt that someone would pay that and just decide not to go, so they must have belonged to some gigantoid corporation.
I remember early on in that game texting my friend who was in the 200 level and telling him that there was no hype, no excitement. This was during one of our best wins of the season. Sam Hurd was dancing and waving his arms before every kickoff to get the fans into it, and this would work to an extent. I almost felt bad once, because I stood up on a 3rd down to cheer and looked around and I was the only one.
So, on that occasion it was NOT a great atmosphere. I loved the view, but not the vibe.
My third game was Thanksgiving and again, I was in the upper level. This game was sort of a tweener, sometimes really good, sometimes very quiet. Miles Austin brought the biggest cheer of the day when he was doing a little celebrating on the bench and it was shown on the big screen. He was smiling and holding his arms up and the place went nuts.
Overall, this being a holiday game and a very lackluster opponent, I was a little disappointed in the atmosphere.
Now, about last week's game against the Chargers. I was shocked to see so many San Diego fans! This must have just not translated to the TV because this was a loud game. The fans knew how important this game was, and if not, then the loud, obnoxious Chargers fans put a little life into them. The 4th and goal debacle and lack of points took some steam of off things, but I really enjoyed Sunday's game from an atmosphere standpoint.
I have some theories to why things seem to be the way you wrote… but first, let me just say that the most insane, intense game was without question the Big 12 Championship.
With the crowd split about 65/35, there was never a quiet moment, the marching bands in the stands filled every break with fight songs and such, and the colors were vibrant… it seems that every person in the building was wearing red or burnt orange. It was an amazing experience.
Now, my theories on why the stadium is or can be quiet.
First theory: the product on the field. Let's be real and honest with ourselves as die-hard fans. We are disappointed right now, we have no consistency, we can't seem to make the defensive stops we need so badly, cheering or not! The offense racks up yards but can't put points on the board and we are very unsure about our head coach. Just because we don't boo doesn't mean we are not concerned.
If we as knowledgeable fans feel this way, imagine the schmucks and trophy wives that sit down along the first level, they don't know anything but when the Cowboys score it's good and when they don't it's bad. While this may be a reflection on ticket prices, I believe it's more of a reflection on casual fans.
Secondly, the aforementioned ticket prices. When you out-price the average joe, then you lose your most passionate fans. If there is one thing I walk aways from thinking after each game, is that this is NO Texas Stadium, in both good and bad ways; I remember being at many games there and while you would freeze your you-know-what off trying to walk to a 30-year old bathroom. You had an awesome time screaming and yelling and cheering.
I recall a Sunday night game four years ago, the first home game against the Redskins and it was electric. When Romo hit Terry Glenn in the endzone for a TD, my friends and I went crazy, jumping and chest bumping and so was everyone else. You just don't see that now at the new place. There is no community of fans, no tradition yet.
And my last theory: the big TV. It is amazing, the most awe inspiring thing you could imagine but it draws people in like a tractor beam. You just sit there and stare at it. I have weened myself off of it to an extent this year and now am able to actually watch the live game below, but look around and everyone is sitting back, eating their popcorn watching the game on TV. It almost brainwashes people into forgetting they are AT A GAME!
Who knows, maybe these could all have a little truth to them, or maybe none at all. I am with you and with Roy, and I try to do my little part. I know that winning and consistency cure all. The fans, for the most part, start off with good intentions. It's those 7-6 games against the Redskins that seem to turn even the best intentions, into disappointing actions.
I want to give it time, let the stadium grow it's own traditions. Let's get some landmark victories in there and let's let the corporate suits give their tickets away to clients for now, and as time goes by we can hope that the stadium becomes more accessible to the true fans! Go COWBOYS!

Federal Reserve policy makers are still struggling to find the right message for conveying to investors their plans for scaling back their easy-money policies, notes from the Fed's October meeting reveal.
Continue Reading Below
The minutes, released Wednesday, also said members of the policy-setting Federal Open Markets Committee could see the central bank trimming its $85-billion-a-month bond-buying program at "one of its next few meetings."
U.S. stock markets fell following the release of the minutes, which seemed to increase the possibility the Fed could begin tapering at their next meeting in December.
The FOMC, according to the minutes, also saw the U.S. economy growing at a "moderate" pace and discussed various public communications strategies aimed at more clearly describing the Fed's forward guidance.
Some members leaned toward a more unified message, one that continued "laying the groundwork" for a reduction in the Fed's monthly bond purchase program known as quantitative easing, "while emphasizing that the overall stance of monetary policy would remain highly accommodative as needed to meet the Committee's objectives."
The Fed has been criticized in recent months for sending mixed messages as to when and how it will begin scaling back its stimulus programs initiated following the 2008 financial crisis.
After telegraphing for months that it would begin tapering its monthly bond purchases in September, the FOMC surprised markets by maintaining the programs at their current levels at the conclusion of the September meeting.
The Fed made the same decision in October.
Peter Tchir, founder of TF Market Advisors in Connecticut, noted following the release of the minutes that any decision on tapering by the Fed is "data dependent" and addressed investor confusion.
"The data, whatever quality we ascribe to it, has been better and tapering is allegedly back on the table. But almost everyone thought that back in September and the Fed surprised us by keeping the floodgates open," he said.
Another criticism leveled at the Fed recently is that it has become too transparent, meaning Fed speeches by FOMC members with differing views on monetary policy have added to the confusion over where the Fed is headed.
Policy doves such as New York Fed President William Dudley have made it clear in various speeches that stimulus programs should be left in place until the economy strengthens sufficiently.
Meanwhile, policy hawks like Kansas City Fed Esther George have warned of runaway inflation and asset bubbles if the programs are left in place too long.
George was the only FOMC member at the October meeting to vote against maintaining Fed policies at their current levels.

NEW YORK, February 5, 2013 — In a panel discussion among current and former New York Times China correspondents, Edward Wong discusses the rise in popularity of microblogs during his time in China. Criticism of the government on microblogs can show "what people are not satisfied with," he says, but "doesn't show that there's a revolution brewing." (3 min., 3 sec.)

Flash Drives
Flash drives make for the perfect Jewish gift to your family and friends. Flash drives are USB drives that can conveniently store a large amount of information in a small easy to carry device. USB drives make for a great Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah gift.
Flash drives are popular presents these days, because the younger generation is extremely tech savvy. Wireless USB ports are all the rage, as they are useful for both academic and personal reasons. A Bar Mitzvah boy will get a lot of use out of a disk on key flash drive in school, in order to save and transport his work between home and school. A disk on key is the perfect Hanukkah gift for a twelve or thirteen year old who likes to download and share music with their friends.
Wireless USB flash drives can come in a variety of sophisticated styles and designs. World of Judaica's collection includes metal, sterling silver, stainless steel, and 14 Karat gold disk on keys. The USB drives can be adorned with a diamond and may feature the Hebrew text of the Shema prayer or Tehillim prayers. Various designs include Hamsa, Star of David, and Jerusalem themes. The flash drive storage capacity can range from 2 gigabytes to 8 gigabytes.
Disk on key flash drives can range in price because some are designed as plastic to go pieces and others are designed as accessories, necklaces, and key holders. World of Judaica offers a selection of disk on key USB drives in the form of exquisite necklaces with silver and gold chains. This makes for a good gift for a wedding or birthday. We also have an assortment of key holder flash drives for ease and convenience.
Flash Drives Guide
A flash drive is not generally thought of as an item of fine judaica. They are simple and useful items that bring information gathering and transfer into the technology age. Flash drives make it simpler for us to collect our important documents and files, while being able to retrieve them from a different computer with ease.
What is a Flash Drive?
A traditional flash drive is a smart and handy tool to keep your important files in a safe place. It is generally about the same size as a stick of gum, sometimes even smaller. Flash drives replaced the floppy disk when IBM introduced the product to the world market in the year 2000. There were other initial versions sold in the East, but the original IBM item to sell in North America was called DiskOnKey and was both designed and built by the Israeli company M-Systems.
The floppy disk had been both large and easily breakable. For these reasons, the flash drive with its easy connection to both keychain and computer plug in made it an instant replacement and within a matter of only a couple of years, the floppy disk was suddenly obsolete.
Flash Drives as Judaica
So how could flash drives truly be considered judaica? So often we find that technology and religion collide in opposing force, so how can a flash drive be included in the Jewish tradition and culture?
Well, many flash drives have now started bringing today's rich technology and yesterday's spiritual religion together in a unique way. At World of Judaica, we provide fine flash drives that already hold the Tehillim or Psalms of the Torah for easy access to these wonderful prayers anywhere you go! With all the ease of any flash drive, you can simply pop off the cap and plug it in for instant religious stimulation.
These modern flash drives that have been cleverly adapted for religious use also keep in line with traditional judaica art with a fitting design of symbolist decorations and rich materials. These designs include all types of Jewish symbols including Stars of David, the good luck Hamsa, and Hebrew text. These types of images have been found a place on the surface of these flash drives.
In addition, judaica flash drives keep with the Jewish tradition of richly forged judaica. Just like the Shabbat candlesticks and Hanukkah menorahs that diaspora Jews carried with them into exile, the flash drives are made from fancy materials such as gold and silver so that you can display how important the Psalms are to you.
For More Information
For more information on Jewish jewelry, accessories or any other Judaica items, please feel free to contact our Judaica experts with any questions or concerns.

OMG..LMBO..Now what's a speedbump.....?I have watched TAR but not recently, so plz excuse the dumb questions...I knew what a NEL was, just didn't recognize the abbreviation....TYSM
I've had a question for quite a while actually, so I guess now is as good a time as ever to ask it When the teams are driving themselves, are they set to any rules, like staying under a certain speed limit? I thought I remembered quite a while ago that one team was given a penalty for something like that.
I have a question about the rest period between legs. I was always under the assumption that they rest time was always 12 hours, but I've now learned that it can be up to 36 hours. Are teams able to go out and explore the area on their own or must they stay at the pit stop for the duration of the rest?
when do you think we will hear anything? dying to find something uot at least where they are at.
Is the radio chat tonight about season 16?

Does CBS give out a Map with the routes the teams went on before the season starts? When did they start doing this? I thought it was better if it was left a mystery until the season began? And a lot more fun for sites like this one to figure it out.

Jason Aldean Shrugs Off 'Weird' Hank Williams Jr. Incident
Count Jason Aldean as one Hank Williams Jr. fan who understands his peculiarities. The 'Tattoos on This Town' singer says that the country legend's sudden departure from the stage during the CMT taping of their 'Artists of the Year' duet on Tuesday night was surprising, but not offensive.
"I think when it comes to Hank, the only thing that you can predict about Hank is that he's unpredictable," Aldean tells Hitflix. "I'm still a huge fan. He's one of my idols, one of the guys that I grew up listening to. I'm a huge fan and, you know, it was a little weird, but it's Hank Jr., what are you going to say?"
Hank Jr. had reason to pull out of the performance, even though he knew it was going to be a special moment for his friend. "I've heard people mess up my songs and screw up Daddy's songs. I was here to honor Jason, a kid I really like," he said in a statement to Country Weekly. "When I walked out there, it didn't feel right, it didn't sound right. I didn't want to disrespect him."
Aldean, who has the rest of the month off for the holidays before returnin to the road in January, retaped his performance after Williams walked off stage. Fans will have to wait until Dec. 13 to find out if any of this makes the edited version of CMT's ceremony.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Freshman Michael Dobson broke the Institute record in the 1000-yard freestyle and also notched a first-place finish in the 500-yard freestyle to help MIT earn a split against New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) opponents Springfield College and the United States Coast Guard Academy on Sunday afternoon. The 15th-ranked Engineers downed Springfield, 181-117, but were narrowly edged by Coast Guard, 154-144.
Coast Guard defeated the host Pride, 187-113, in the afternoon's other match-up.
The loss to the Bears was the Engineers' first setback of the season and moved their record to 5-1 overall and 3-1 in the NEWMAC. Meanwhile, Coast Guard improved to 6-2 overall and 5-0 in the conference with the pair of victories, while Springfield fell to 1-8 and 1-2.
Dobson's time of 9:47.07 in the 1000-yard freestyle was not only over 10 seconds faster than the second-place finisher, but it also shattered the MIT record in the event by over five seconds. Before Dobson's remarkable swim, the previous standard had been set by Mark Liao in 2005, when he swam it in 9:52.62. The rookie also earned maximum points in the 500-yard freestyle by touching the wall ahead of all his opponents at 4:47.35.
The Engineers grabbed victories in both of the afternoon's relay events, starting with the 200-yard medley relay. Jeff Zhou, Rastislav Racz, Toomas Sepp and Luke Cummings teamed up to finish the race in 1:36.74, just 0.31 seconds faster than the runner-up squad from Coast Guard. The Cardinal and Gray then closed the meet with a win in the 400-yard freestyle relay, as Cummings, Zhou and Wellings were anchored by junior Laurent Charpentier to clock in with a time of 3:11.21.
Charpentier also had an individual victory to his credit, winning the 200-yard freestyle (1:45.43) by a full three seconds over Coast Guard's Jack Shadwick.
Sophomore sensation Racz also notched a pair of wins, as he was once again dominant in the breaststroke events. The Bratislava, Slovakia native touched the wall first in the 100-yard (59.43) and 200-yard (2:09.96) versions of the stroke.
The Engineers will return to action on Saturday, Jan. 26, when they will travel to Medford, Mass., to take on Tufts University at 1:00 p.m.

Difference between revisions of "Portland (Oregon)"
Revision as of 07:27, 21 January 2008
Portland [1], "The City of Roses", is the largest city in Oregon and the second largest city in the Pacific Northwest.
Had a coin flip gone the other way, the largest city in Oregon would be called "Boston, Oregon". From that fateful coin flip on, the city of Portland has, for the most part, been the recipient of great fortune.
Portland lies about 70 miles from the Pacific Coast on the northern border of the state of Oregon, straddling the Willamette River just south of its confluence with the Columbia River at Vancouver, Washington. About 50 miles to the east lies majestic Mount Hood, which forms the perfect backdrop for Portland's skyline.
As the largest city between San Francisco and Seattle, Portland vies with those cities as the spiritual capital of the laid-back northern Pacific coast. However, it does so in a way that mixes big-city dynamics with small-town friendliness. Until recently Portland avoided the problems that come with fast growth. Although Portland is now experiencing rapid growth, similar to Seattle, it has been able to keep its unique character.
Progressive city planning practices, such as an urban growth boundary, have made Portland a very compact and user-friendly city. Unlike other metropolitan areas, you can drive 10 miles from downtown and be out in the country. Environmentally friendly practices, such as recycling, are part of the culture here. It is also known for taking creative and unconventional ideas to solve its problems. For instance, it tore up a downtown freeway and transformed it into Tom McCall Waterfront Park. Its public transportation system, TriMet [2] includes the MAX light rail system. MAX, which has won nationwide acclaim, was originally built in the 1980s.
In recent years, the city has become known as much for its microbreweries, much like Seattle's reputation for its coffee houses. There are many microbreweries around Portland, many of which have won nationwide and international acclaim.
It is also known for being the home of Ward Cunningham, inventor of the "wiki".
Portland is one of the most beautiful cities in the world with an exciting blend of historic and modern architecture. The scenery can't be beat with views of Mt. Hood and the Willamette River, stately Douglas Fir trees, roses everywhere and stunning seasonal color. Combine this with great art, waterfront festivals, a diverse population and you have one very exciting city.
Get in
By plane
Portland International Airport (IATA: PDX) [3] is located 9 miles northeast of downtown on the Columbia River. Most major airlines serve Portland from nearly all major airports in the United States. Non-stop air service is also available from Vancouver, BC, Canada; Tokyo, Japan; Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; Guadalajara, Mexico;Frankfurt, Germany. Daily direct service is also available to Mexico City, Mexico; and Singapore. New non-stop service to Amsterdam begins in the spring of 2008. The airport also has free wi-fi.
A taxi from the airport to downtown is around $30. The MAX light rail, which has a stop right at the airport terminal, will only set you back $2.05 and will take you from one end of the Portland to the other. Plus it goes directly into downtown. All light rail connects with the city wide bus system. You be the one to decide: MAX or taxi.
If you're renting a car, the best way to get to downtown Portland from the airport is to take I-205 south to I-84 west, then follow the signs to the City Center at I-84's terminus and interchange with I-5. This will take you over the Morrison Bridge into downtown. Renting a car for a downtown destination is not recommended: inconvenient, spendy and hard-to-find parking combined with active parking meter enforcement (8AM-7PM) and nonintuitive street closures, transit malls and restrictions make it frustrating--even for locals. Within downtown, buses, MAX and the streetcar are free. Most people can walk from one end of downtown to the other in 15 minutes—-faster than driving at times.
When returning a rental car to the airport, follow the signs to stay in the left lane. However, it is very easy to make the mistake of exiting too soon at the control tower/shuttle bus exit. You need to curve to the right (with the rest of the highway) and not go straight. Even in light traffic, it is dangerous and illegal to immediately turn around.
By train
Amtrak [4] provides service to Portland from all along the west coast. The Amtrak Cascades service runs two trains per day between Portland and Eugene, Oregon to the south. Additionally, there are three Cascades trains between Portland and Seattle to the north. These trains are more reliable schedule-wise than the long distance trains.
For long distance service, Portland is served daily by the Coast Starlight, running the length of the West Coast (Seattle-Portland-San Francisco Bay Area-Los Angeles). The Starlight has earned the nickname the "Starlate", since it is usually delayed for hours running north from California. The Empire Builder (Portland-Spokane-Glacier Nat'l Park-Minneapolis/St Paul-Milwaukee-Chicago) also provides daily service eastward, and tends not to be as delayed as the Starlight.
Portland's Union Station, 800 NW Sixth Av., is located north of downtown, about a 15-minute walk from Pioneer Square. It is adjacent to the Greyhound bus station. The bus mall ends at Union Station, so local TriMet Buses run by Union Station very frequently.
By car
From Washington to the north and California as well as most of the rest of Oregon to the south, the easiest way to get to Portland is on Interstate 5. You can enter the south part of downtown from I-5 before it goes over the Willamette River, or you can take I-405 which runs directly through downtown Portland with a number of exits.
From Boise and other points east, Interstate 84 leads along the Columbia into Portland. From the Oregon Coast Highway and other points along the Pacific coast to the west, the easiest approach is U.S. 26. It cuts east towards Portland between Cannon Beach and Seaside.
By bus
By boat
No useful boat lines exist, although you can cruise up and down the river.
Get around
Portland is an easy city to bike, walk or use public transport. Much of Portland is a grid, so it should be fairly easy to navigate. In general, east-west streets are named while north-south avenues are numbered. This doesn't hold true in the North Portland neighborhood where avenues are also named, or in the hills where roads are helter-skelter.
Portland is a great city for walking. Many intersections are designed with pedestrians in mind, and Portland has a lot of street life for an American city. Good mass transit also makes walking more feasible in Portland. In the Alphabet District in NW Portland, the streets are named alphabetically as they go north starting with Burnside. The City of Portland Office of Transportation offers free, highly detailed walking maps that may be ordered online. The Eastside Esplanade along the Willamette River across from downtown offers a scenic walk. Parts of the explanade actually float on the water.
Portland is an excellent city for cycling. It has been rated by Bicycling Magazine as the best city in the U.S. for cycling. It has a network of streets designed to be predominantly used by bicyclists. These streets, such as SE Ankeny, SE Salmon, SE Lincoln, and SE Clinton, are usually spaced about halfway between the main car thoroughfares in the grid of East Portland. The bike streets are generally signed with green "Bike Route" signs. Additionally, many major streets have striped bike lanes.
Maps of bike trails can be obtained from Metro, in the Bike There! section.
TriMet and other Public Transport
TriMet [6] maintains Bus and MAX Light Rail throughout the Portland area. There are three MAX Light Rail [7] lines:
Fares will depend on how much you travel, but a one-way ticket that covers all fare zones will cost $2, and an all-day ticket will cost $4.25, although when you get on the MAX they rarely check for payment. A lot of people go on it without being checked for fares. However, if an inspector (in a neon yellow vest and TriMet uniform) catches you without proof of fare, you can receive a ticket for $94-250 [8].
In addition, the City of Portland maintains the Portland Streetcar line [9], which runs through the downtown area, connecting the Northwest Portland, Pearl District, Downtown, Riverplace, and South Waterfront neighborhoods, plus Portland State University.
Most of downtown is covered by Fareless Square [10], where TriMet bus, MAX Light Rail, and Portland Streetcar fares are free.
C-Tran [11] runs buses in Clark County, Washington. Fares for TriMet, C-Tran, and the Portland Streetcar are all interchangeable. Also available is a extensive system map available for a small cost from the tri-met store in Pioneer Square
For mapped point to point Public Transportation directions visit Google Transit: [12].
Portland is divided into five sections. Burnside Street is the north/south split. The Willamette (pronounced will-LAM-et) splits Southeast and Southwest, but the river takes a turn north of Burnside. Since Mother Nature doesn't care much about straight lines, the city decided to split what would be the Northwest quadrant into Northwest (West of the river) and North (East of the River), then divide North and Northeast at Williams Avenue. All Portland addresses contain their designating sector inserted between house number and street name (i.e. 3719 SE Hawthorne Blvd.) This will make it easier to figure out where things are. If you hear Portlanders talking about Southwest or Northeast, they're probably talking about the section of the town rather than Arizona or Massachusetts.
North Portland
Public art
Portland has a pretty good music scene throughout town. Music venues hold huge national acts to small underground music groups. Many local pubs and bars offer great local bands usually on weekends. The city is developing a national notoriety as the United States' "indie rock capital", with many high (and low) profile independent rock music acts calling the city home.
Portland has many nationally recognized universities and colleges, including Reed College, Lewis and Clark College, Portland State University, and University of Portland.
Portland is the home of two Pulitzer-Prize-winning publications and a number of smaller tabloid-format newspapers of note. Due to some heated local politics the town has become a rather thorny place for journalism. Portlanders identify their politics by what paper they read (Oregonian vs Tribune, Willamette Week vs Mercury).
Most other publications would be of only passing interest to travellers but to read what locals think and feel, some of the better neighborhood papers: Northwest Examiner, Portland Observer, Skanner, St. John's Sentinel, and Portland State University Vanguard.
"We want you to visit our State of Excitement often. Come again and again. But for heaven's sake, don't move here to live. Or if you do have to move in to live, don't tell any of your neighbors where you are going." -Former Governor Tom McCall, 1971 interview
In the last couple of years, Portland has been one of the harder cities in the State of Oregon in which to find work. Although the unemployment and underemployment rate has been falling recently, it is still a tough job market to navigate.
As in the rest of Oregon, there is no sales tax in Portland; the price you see on the tag is the price you pay. Portland is, by far, the largest metro area in the U.S. without a sales tax. (Of course, this does not include Vancouver, which is in Washington State.)
Take advantage of the Northwest's famous microbrews - small breweries that serve their own (and other's) craft beers. A world away from the generic beers that are the mainstay of America (comparable to 'real ales' in the UK).
Portland is home to one of the largest community wireless networks based on the works of The Personal Telco Project. Check to find one of nearly 100 spots you can log onto the Internet free of any charge. Many major attractions such as Pioneer Square, PGE Park and many local parks are covered.
Two area codes cover the Portland metropolitan area: 503 and 971. All ten digits must be dialed when dialing local numbers in the Portland area.
The Multnomah County Library [96], 801 S.W. 10th Avenue, issues 1-hour guest passes for internet terminal use.
Stay safe
Portland is a safe city. Walking in the Downtown/Old Town/Chinatown area is safe at all hours. Crime is mostly a problem between residents such as those involved in the drug trade. Use discretion in some North Portland, Inner Northeast and Outer Southeast neighborhoods. It should also be noted that the downtown bus mall running on 5th and 6th avenues can be dicey late at night.
The mass transit system in Portland is excellent but after dark certain stops might want to be avoided.
MLK (Bus stops) NE Sandy Blvd (Bus stops) NE Killingsworth Blvd (Bus stops) Beaverton Transit Center (MAX stop) N Albina/Mississippi (MAX stop) N Prescott St (MAX stop) N Killingsworth St (MAX stop) Kenton/N Denver Ave (MAX stop) N Portland Blvd (MAX stop) Lloyd Center (MAX stop) NE 60th Ave (MAX stop) NE 82nd Ave (MAX stop) E 162nd Ave (MAX stop) Rockwood/E 188th Ave (MAX stop)
The buses and trains are fairly well patrolled at night, and there is usually a good police presence downtown. If you happen to spot a Trimet security guard, he can give you a better rundown of places to stay away from, or if you are feeling wary the guards do sometimes escort women from the train to their cars at the Transit Centers. So don't be afraid to ask. The guards are usually very bored anyway and are willing to chat or help you out.
As in other places in the Pacific Northwest, there is abundant rainfall in the winter and spring. However, the rain is usually a fine mist; total precipitation in Seattle and Portland is less than most east coast cities. Nonetheless, a sunny day in the rainy season can seem to be very rare. Bring or buy an umbrella if you're in Portland between November and April. It should be noted, however, that a large portion of "Portlanders" don't use, or even believe in, umbrellas, instead preferring hoods and raincoats. Some more "hardcore" residents are even known to travel with no more cover than a baseball cap.
It is rumored that the one day which has never had recorded rain is July 12. But in the rainy season, be prepared. (June through October have only a 5% chance of rain on any given day.)
Get out
Located just 50 miles from the Cascade Range and 90 miles from the Pacific Ocean, Portland is the perfect home base for day trips to Mount Hood, Mount St. Helens, the Columbia River Gorge, the northern part of the Oregon Coast, or the wineries in the Willamette Valley.

Font Display in Accordance
The first step is to make sure that you have the latest version of Accordance and the latest fonts, which isbest accomplished by downloading the latest installer.
If the fonts still do not appear correctly, try turning off the smoothing in Accordance Preferences/Appearance. If they now display correctly, you have a problem with FontBook. This is not an adequate fix, just a diagnostic step, you will not be happy without font smoothing.
1. First try the FontFixer utility for your version of Accordance, found on the same download page. It does the same cleanup as the new installers, but installs only the Truetype files.
2. If this fails try these instructions for removing duplicates from FontBook:
In Font Book:
Open Font Book by clicking on any font.
Look at the font name, if there is a black dot beside the name, select the Font and choose Resolve Duplicates from the Edit menu.
If this does not correct the problem when restarting Accordance, go back to Font Book
Choose Preview>Show Font Info
Open each font triangle and select each item within it, and either Disable (Edit menu) or Remove (File menu) each item EXCEPT the ones you want to keep, which are those in the .famTrueType in Library/Fonts. Look at them all first, and you will see where each copy is.
If your fonts are garbled, or if there are fonts that won�t empty from the Trash even after you restart your Mac, try deleting the Mac OS X font caches.
You can do this manually by finding and removing these files:
� In /System/Library/Caches:
� fontTablesAnnex
(fontTablesAnnex contains the character encodings/mappings for all of the fonts on your system. Information in this file can lead to garbled text.)
� com.apple.ATS.System.fcache
� com.apple.ATSServer.FODB_System
� In /Library/Caches:
� com.apple.ATS
� In your home directory�s Library/Preferences folder:
� com.apple.ATS.plist
I have NOT tested it myself.5. Here is an even more complicated fix routine suggested on our Forum:
I had a similar problem after installing some modules with older installs. Even though the 5.7 or later installs work to install modules, I find that in some cases they leave some OS 9 fonts on the disk. Mac OS X is really smart and locates the OS 9 or other fonts and puts them in its font subsystem, "just in case".
Here's some steps to try. You'll need to do them in order. This is how I solved my problem.
1) Remove all the Accordance fonts from FontBook
2) Search and remove all Accordance fonts from the file system. If you see any that are "bitmap" or "postscript" fonts delete them too. They will usually only be in <some long directory path>/font[s]
Accord* (Obviously only delete "font" "fon" "FFIL" "TTF" files)
--- Make sure of this. I have had a case where the font subsystem was using an OS 9 version of the font, even though I had deleted from Font Book. Font Book does not always delete the font file.
3) After you are sure that all Accordance Fonts are gone: reboot
4) Run Font Book and make sure they are gone. Run your word processor (Mellel, NeoOffice or Word) and make sure they don't show in the font list.
5) Run Disk Utility and verify/fix permissions on your disk--- I had a couple program fail install because of this.
6) Reinstall 7.3 (The Accordance program only-- I assume that the modules are all installed and you're only running the 7.3 install; if you run an older install to install modules, you'll need to go to step 1).
7) Reboot (I know, feels like Windows again...)
8) Check Font Book for any duplicates-- any there? If so, you'll need to call Tech Support.
9) Try Accordance does it work? No, try the following...
10) What locale are you using? It may not matter for most of the Accordance modules, but maybe for a few. I don't know, but you could set it to "US"
Font Character Substitution in Other Programs
This is a known problem with programs that do Quartz smoothing substituting some of our characters. The bad characters that Apple substitutes for some of the cantillation marks in Hebrew (and accents in Greek) occur only in the newer programs that use Quartz smoothing such as Text Edit and Word for Mac 2004, not in AppleWorks for example. There is nothing that we can do about it, short of changing the font layout which would void all our current modules, as well as users' documents using our fonts. Please read the Accordance Fonts.pdf for a summary of the issues, and also the PDF User's Guide, and the Help files on exporting text.
The most common problem is with the rough breathing over alpha and omega in Greek. It shows up only in two places on the E, and only with rare cantillation marks in Yehudit which is avoided by stripping the marks. Anytime people are talking about problems with these fonts in TextEdit, Word, KeyNote, PowerPoint, etc., etc. this is usually what it is.
Version 7.2 and up of Accordance does the following recommended substitutions in Greek automatically when exporting Helena via the clipboard or drag-and-drop:
replace the apple (shift-option-k) with shift-j (replaces the rough breathing over the alpha and omega) (Matt 1:21 etc.)
replace fl (shift-option-6) with option-8 (replaces the the grave accent and rough breathing mark before capital E) (Eph 4:4, 2 Pet 3:8).
replace fi (shift-option-5) with option-- (not found in our texts)
replace � (shift-option-2) with option-= (not found in our texts)
Hebrew, Gen 6:4,19:
You can either remove or manually replace these characters with approximations in Yehudit:
replace fl (shift-option-6) with nothing
replace fi (shift-option-5) with shift-h
replace � (shift-option-2) with shift-option-c and space
or replace them with the correct Unicode character (for Unicode compliant software)
replace fl (shift-option-6) with U+05A0 (telisha gedola)֠
replace fi (shift-option-5) with U+059E (gershayyim)֞
replace � (shift-option-2) with U+05AE (tsinnor)֮
If you convert the text to Unicode you avoid the character substitution. However, Word for Mac does not support the Hebrew properly. Text Edit, Mellel and Nisus do. Accordance does not use Unicode but will convert the text on export depending on the settings in Preferences/Greek & Hebrew. You can also try converting to one of the other fonts we offer, if you have those fonts.
Although Word 2004 on Mac does not handle Hebrew well (it does on Windows), you can paste Hebrew Unicode into Word by:
Selecting a Unicode font such as Cardo or Lucida Grande, first
Then selecting Paste Special from the Edit menu, and Unformatted Text from the submenu (not Styled Text).

I want it all
Source: rockhall.com
Queen represented rock's bombastic pinnacle. Melding glam-rock with hard-rock, the group's ornate, multi-tracked recordings and in-your-face songs resulted to worldwide sales of more than 130 million records. Queen took flight in the Seventies, embodying the thrills
and excesses of that decade. "We're the Cecil B. DeMille of rock and roll, always wanting to do things bigger and better," said vocalist Freddie Mercury. Exhibiting a keen intelligence and capacity for reinvention, Queen drew from contemporary music, visual media and pop culture, blowing it all up into a multimedia spectacle grounded in solid rock.
Beyond the flamboyant exterior, however, there was genuine power and daring in their music, which ranged from the neo-rockabilly swagger of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" to the driving disco-funk of "Another One Bites the Dust." Queen concocted a densely layered
rock operetta, "Bohemian Rhapsody," that is among the most ornate productions in music history. They also served up crowd-pleasing chants like "We Are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You," which have both become anthems in the world of sports.
The group formed in London in 1971. They came to music from university studies in such far-ranging disciplines as art, biology and astronomy. In keep with their regal vision, the nascent quartet foreswore the usual humbling rounds of pub and club gigs, working
privately on a more theatrical, stage-ready presentation. Their first public concert took place in 1973 before an audience of invited guests at a London college. Eight years later, in March 1981, they would perform in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on consecutive nights to audiences
numbering 131,000 and 120,000 - the largest paying crowds ever to hear a single band. In 1985, they played to a quarter of a million people at the Rock in Rio festival. That same year, they delivered an electrifying segment at the Live Aid benefit concert, seen by a TV audience of hundreds of millions.
Clearly Queen was a band born to play stadiums. A specially designed stage prop - a 5,000-pound lighting rig shaped like a crown - accompanied them on tour. "The stage is
designed to cope with the venues we're playing in, to get the optimum out of those places," explained drummer Roger Taylor. "The more the merrier," said guitarist Brian May ofQueen's stadium-filling mass appeal.
Excepting live albums and hits compilations, Queen released 15 studio albums of original music between 1973 and 1995. Their self-titled debut laid out the fundamentals of Queen's sound - built around May's layered guitars and Mercury's biting vocals - on such tracks as
"Keep Yourself Alive" and "Liar." Their massively overdubbed second album, Queen II (1974), exploited cutting-edge studio technology and remains a pillar of grandiose, assaultive hard rock. The title of Queen's third album, Sheer Heart Attack (also released in
1974), summed up the monumental intensity of their work and yielded their first hit single, "Killer Queen." Back-to-back albums at mid-decade - A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races - borrowed Marx Brothers movie titles. More important, A Night at the Opera
ushered forth Queen's grandest moment: "Bohemian Rhapsody." This seven-minute magnum opus cracked the Top Ten on two occasions: on its initial release in 1976 and again in 1992, when it appeared in a memorable scene from the film comedy Wayne's World.
Going against the grain of 1977's punk uprising, News of the World (1977) containedQueen's most beloved (and despised) chant-along songs: "We Are the Champions" and "We Will Rock You." Queen's highest-charting album was 1980's The Game (#1 for five
weeks), which also produced their biggest singles, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "Another One Bites the Dust." All the while, Queen mounted ever-more grandiose live shows. Queen's performance at the 1985 Live Aid spectacular is remembered as one of
the day's highlights and gave the band momentum for what turned out to be their final year of concert performances. Meanwhile, Queen continued to push the envelope in the studio.
As the flamboyant frontman Mercury stated when A Kind of Magic was released in 1986, "I hate doing the same thing again and again. I like to see what's happening now in music, film and theater and incorporate all of those things."
The group ended with the death, due to AIDS-related causes, of Mercury in 1991. At the same time, their status as one of rock's most legendary bands only continues to grow.

Make sure to also check out our photo gallery Up close with LG's 55-inch OLED TV.
LG is a sponsor of the famed F1 Grand Prix in Monaco, France, so it stands to reason it might take advantage of the posh event by holding an equally lavish unveiling gala for its highly anticipated OLED TV just before the racing action begins. Ironically, however, all the pomp and circumstance thrown behind the new TV's introduction was totally upstaged by the TV itself. Yep, it's just that good.
We caught a glimpse of the new 55-inch OLED TV at CES 2012 and, like most, we were duly impressed. However, the prototype model that was shown at the time has since been revamped and, besides, no one was allowed within 15 feet of the TV at the show, so we weren't able to go over it inch by inch or get the scoop on all the juicy specs, either. Today, Digital Trends was privileged enough to lay hands all over the TV and gather plenty of details on what makes the new display so special.
In a nutshell, it all comes down to picture quality and design. LG is sticking to its passive 3D guns and smart TV integration, right down to the Magic Motion remote that allows Wii-style control of the TV as shown in our 55LM6700 review. The 55EM9600U, however, folds in some significant new design points. Foremost is the TV's thickness, which comes in at a razor-thin 4mm. Its bezel is nearly invisible at 1mm thick and the TV's weight is 50 percent lighter than its nearest LED counterpart at a wispy 22 pounds. According to LG, that makes it the lightest and thinnest 55-inch TV on the market today.
The 55-inch OLED is stunning to behold. Black levels are so deep that you can't tell whether the TV is on or not when the screen goes black, and the contrast capabilities are off the charts; darn near infinite, if you ask LG. The back panel is made of a carbon-fiber material that is as tough as it is light, and the TV will come available with either a base stand or a pole stand for those not interested in wall-mounting.
To pull off such thinness, however, LG had to stick the electronic guts in the TV's base. Otherwise, users will have to deal with a set-top box. There's just no room in the panel to hold it all.
But perhaps LG's most notable engineering feat comes by way of the use of a white sub-pixel which, according to LG, improves the accuracy of the color blue significantly and reduces power consumption and heat at the same time. The company calls it WRGB and claims this development is what allowed it to stabilize OLED, which has been difficult to scale up to sizes as large as 55 inches.
Check out our video below or our photo gallery for an up-close look at this stellar new TV. Also, be sure to check back later as we're going to dig deep into this new display and offer our opinion on what kind of impact the performance of this $10,000 over-achiever might have on the future of TV.

'Champagne Facials' Explodes Onto the Scene
'Champagne Facials' is the brainchild of elite event photographer Kirill. We've clearly indicated our envy of Terry Richardson, but while Terry's shoots are usually one-on-one and more intimate, Kirill's in the trenches, mixing it up at the most ridiculous parties with the hottest women.
He's also got a knack for poppin' bottles on models, which when captured in still form reminds us of climactic scenes from some of our favorite movies.
So, while we're out there spraying cans of Bud all over the place like Rod Farva from Super Troopers, Kirill keeps it classy with champers. These Champagne Facial pictures don't exactly look like the photos we snap after a crazy night at Shenanigans either.
Girls love the bubbly, and after seeing pics upon pics of them enjoying said jolly juice, we fully expect sales of Moet and Dom P to skyrocket.

The sheer mention of Duke basketball stirs emotions one way or the other. Especailly when those players are current and former Bulls.
When the Bulls recently announced they would sign swingman Mike Dunleavy Jr., a former Blue Devil, I got to thinking: Why do they Bulls continue to draft and sign players from the nation's most hated college program? Especially since few seem to pan out?
Those who favor this practice say Duke players come from a more "structured" program, are disciplined, NBA-ready and the give "maximum effort." It also helps that Duke continues to have a pipeline from Chicago to the university (as with Sean Dockery, Jon Scheyer and Jabari Parker).
Not everyone is buying their value, however.
Elton Brand, Jay Williams, Luol Deng, Chris Duhon, Carlos Boozer. There are more, but that establishes a pattern—one that is disturbing to some Bulls fans.
I can't confirm or deny the coincidence that Bulls management specifically searches out former Duke players. Like other teams who draft and sign players via free agency, the Bulls look for the best players available. If said player happens to be from Duke? Well, I guess it is what it is, as they say.
Here are the most notable Duke players who have worn a Bulls jersey:
5. Chris Duhon
Even though he was a serviceable backup point guard in his time with the Bulls, he spent more time on the society page than he did on the stat sheet.
4. Jay Williams
Things started well for Williams until he got injured on the motorcycle the team told him not to buy. Also, Williams didn't help his cause when alienated his former teammates when he discussed their alleged off-court activities earlier this year.
3. Elton Brand
Brand was the No. 1 pick in the 1999 NBA draft and averaged a double-double in his first season in Chicago. The team felt like those numbers weren't going to last long as they traded him two seasons later for Tyson Chandler.
2. Carlos Boozer
Boozer was the consolation prize in the LeBron James sweepstakes. Bulls fans thought they were getting the Boozer who played well on the Olympic team and led the Utah Jazz to the Western Conference finals. Instead they got a player who often disappears during the playoffs.
1. Luol Deng
At one point, Deng was much maligned and branded as soft. Since then, Deng has made the All-Star team twice and the All-Defensive team once. He also became the Bulls' best perimeter defender. However, his offensive game is limited, and that may be one of the reasons his name was thrown around in trade talks before this year's draft.

RECORD: Darwin, C. R. 1863. On the so-called "auditory-sac" of Cirripedes. Natural History Review 3 (January): 115-116.
REVISION HISTORY: Scanned, OCRed, corrected and edited by John van Wyhe 2003-8, textual corrections by Sue Asscher 1.2007. RN2
VII.—ON THE SO-CALLED "AUDITORY-SAC" OF CIRRIPEDES. By Charles Darwin, F.R.S.
IN my work on Cirripedes1 I have described an orifice, previously unobserved, beneath the first pair of cirri, on each side of the body, including a very singular elastic sack, which I considered to be an acoustic organ. Furthermore I traced the oviduct from the peduncle to a mass of glands at the back of the mouth, and these glands I called ovarian.2 Dr. Krohn3 has recently stated that these glands are salivary, and that the oviduct runs down to the orifice, which I had thought to be the auditory meatus. It is not easy to imagine a greater mistake with respect to function than that made by me; but I expressly stated that I could never succeed in tracing the oviducts into actual union with these glands; nor the supposed nerve from the so-called acoustic sack to any ganglion. As Dr. Krohn is no doubt a much better dissector than I am, I fully admitted my error and still suppose that he is right. Nevertheless, several facts can hardly be reconciled with his view of the function of the several parts. To give one instance: if any one will look at the figure of the Anelasma (Lepadidæ, Pl. iv.), he will see how extremely difficult it is to understand by what means the ova coming out of the orifices (e) above referred to, could be arranged in the symmetrical lamellæ which extend up to the summit of the capitulum: it must be observed that the ova are united together by a delicate membrane enclosing each ovum; moreover the cirri in this animal are in atrophied condition, without regular articulations, so that it is inconceivable how the ova can be transported and arranged by their agency.
I have lately received from an eminent naturalist, Prof. F. de Filippi, a paper (Estratto dell' Arch. per la Zoolog. 31st Dec. 1861),4 chiefly devoted to the development of the ova of Cirripedes, in which the following passage occurs:—
"The small size of Dichelaspis Darwinii has not enabled me to verify the relationship discovered by Krohn between this problematical organ and the termination of the oviduct; but on the other hand the transparency of the tissues has enabled me to perceive a peculiarity of structure which may help to elucidate the question. Fig. 13 represents what I persist in calling a hearing organ. Within a cavity, the walls of which are united to the surrounding tissues, there is a pear-formed sack or ampulla. On the neck of this ampulla, at a, are numerous minute lines parallel to each other and to the axis of the ampulla. I doubted at first whether the appearance of these lines arose from folds in the membrane, and therefore I separated some of the sacks, and I could then better convince myself that these lines correspond with true nervous fibres, thin and simple, embedded in the rather thick, resisting, and transparent substance which forms the walls of the ampulla. This circumstance seems to me to show clearly the sensitive nature of the organ, and hence to

favour Darwin's opinion, who considers them to be organs of hearing."
My object in asking you to publish this note, is to induce some one to attend to this curious organ; to endeavour to discover ova within the so-called auditory sack; for as each cirripede produces so many eggs, assuredly this might be effected without great difficulty. It is, however, possible (as I believe was suggested by Mr. R. Garner1 at the British Association, but whose paper I have mislaid,) that cirripedes, like certain Entomostraca, may lay two kinds of eggs; one set passing out through the problematical orifices; and another set coming out of the body in sheets, in the manner suggested by me;—namely, the ova collecting under the lining membrane of the sack before the act of exuviation, with a new membrane formed beneath them; so that the layer of eggs becomes external after the act of exuviation. If this view, to which I was led by many appearances, be correct, improbable as it may seem, it ought not to be difficult to find a specimen with the old membrane of the sack loose and ready to be moulted, with the new underlying membrane almost perfect, and with the layer of ova between them. Or a specimen might be found which had lately moulted, with its skin still soft, (and this I believe that I saw) with a layer of eggs still loosely attached to the new lining membrane of the sack.

Slinky Crepe Blue Dress
Added Oct 10, 2012
by roisins
Woking, United K...
I cannot stress how simple this dress was to make. Basically take your chosen length of fabric and the width is just slightly wider than 2 inches above your bust point, cross the two ends over and then sew along and down. I went to about mid thigh to give the dress a lovely split. Then twist it around to your front gather under the bust and sew away! It not my best and from certain angles i looked incredibly pregnant, and it would be a fantastic maternity dress! But when your going to a posh manor house, have nothing to wear and ponly a day to get ready, it went quite well!

The Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa has announced that it will not hold its planned moose hunt this fall, avoiding an arbitration process with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
The Grand Portage Band of Lake Superior Chippewa has announced that it will not hold its planned moose hunt this fall, avoiding an arbitration process with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
The band in August had announced that it would issue 21 permits for a bulls-only moose hunt from Oct. 5 to 20 on lands in the ceded territory covered by an 1854 treaty. The DNR opposed the band's plans for the hunt based on an agreement between the state and the 1854 Treaty Authority, which represents both the Grand Portage and Bois Forte bands.
As a result, the DNR had begun a formal arbitration process with the Grand Portage Band, but no arbitration hearings had yet been held when the band canceled its hunt.
Under a court-approved agreement between the DNR and the 1854 Treaty Authority, the bands may not hold a big-game hunting season for which no corresponding state hunting season is being held.
The state pays the Grand Portage and Bois Forte bands each year to limit their exercise of some treaty rights, Boggess said. During fiscal year 2013, which ended June 30, the DNR paid $2.68 million each to the two bands, he said.
In February, the DNR decided to cancel its moose hunting season over conservation concerns about the moose population. The population has dropped from an estimated 8,800 moose in 2006 to an estimated 2,760 animals in this past winter's survey. The population suffered a 35 percent drop in numbers from 2012 to 2013.
"Our position is that we think the language of the (1854 Treaty Authority) agreement is plain and clear," Ed Boggess, director of the DNR's Division of Fish and Wildlife, had said of the DNR's decision to pursue arbitration.
Norman Deschampe, chairman of the Grand Portage Tribal Council, said a tribal subsistence hunt "is fundamentally different than a sports hunt and should be considered differently."
Deschampe also said the band was disappointed that the DNR ignored its obligation to consult with the band before cancelling the state moose hunt.
The Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa plans to hold a moose hunt this fall, but the band is not part of the 1854 Treaty Authority. The DNR has expressed its disappointment to the Fond du Lac Band about its moose season this fall but plans no court action against the band, Boggess said.
Fond du Lac will offer its band members 77 permits to harvest a maximum of 25 bull moose in ceded territory covered by 1854 and 1837 treaties.
The Bois Forte band opted not to hold a moose season, said Sonny Myers, executive director of the 1854 Treaty Authority, based in Duluth.

White Sox' Cooper not worried about Sale, young staff
You can't hear or read anything about the 2013 White Sox without wondering if Chris Sale will live to see Oct. 1.
Really. His condition is that serious.
Sale has to worry about his elbow, shoulder and -- probably -- left pinkie finger.
He's too tall, skinny and weak. He doesn't eat enough, lift enough or weigh enough. Honestly, he ought to throw less and spend his days at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Sale's very survival may be at stake.
Or, not.
"If weight had anything to do with velocity," said White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper, "I'd have a good fastball right now."
Speaking from Sox camp Tuesday, Cooper made it clear that the club isn't concerned about projections for Sale, or predictions about his future.
"Usually the people talking about it, they're not in the business, not in the industry," Cooper said. "Too skinny? He can't pitch because he's too skinny? He's got a great delivery.
"That's what matters. They don't know what the (heck) they're talking about."
There have been numerous studies done and stories written about the effect of a jump in innings like Sale had last year, going from 71 to 192, and how some pitchers have suffered in the year or two after such an increase.
On top of that, Sale did leave the rotation briefly last May with a sore elbow. But he returned quickly to starting and went on a three-month tear with a 12-2 record and 2.50 ERA in 16 starts with 117 strikeouts against 25 walks in 115 innings, and a WHIP of exactly 1.00.
"Health is a going question for everyone," Cooper said. "Will our guys stay healthy? It's about delivery. Get the delivery right and you'll stay healthy.
"I'd match our last 11 years with anyone in that regard. Our guys go out there every five days for the most part, and I think we'll continue to do that. With (trainer) Herm Schneider and (conditioning coach) Allen Thomas, I like our chances."
Yet, there will be those who swear the numbers prove Sale will never survive the wear and tear.
"Get me who's saying it," Cooper said. "Is it a baseball guy, someone who knows pitching with a track record? I know the numbers and he went up in innings, but this was the plan all along. He wasn't going to be a lefty short guy his entire career."
Sale made the all-star team and finished sixth in AL Cy Young voting, but there were long stretches when he was the best pitcher in baseball in 2012, and Cooper believes this is just the beginning for his 23-year-old starter.
"The next step for him is to stay healthy all year, stay strong, and pour in strikes like he has," Cooper said. "Him and (Jake) Peavy, you'll not see two more consistent guys pounding the strike zone, going at hitters and dictating the count.
"Of course, (Sale) can be more dangerous, more consistent, more lethal. He can be better. If you're not trying to get better, then what are you doing?"
That applies even to Cooper himself. Already known as one of the best pitching coaches in the game, Cooper admits he's still evolving.
"Absolutely, I feel like I'm always learning in this game," Cooper said. "I say to myself all the time that I wish I knew this stuff years ago, but you learn from talking to guys and you learn from the pitchers. I learned a lot from (Mark) Buehrle.
"If you communicate with your guys, they give you answers, give you some hints. I haven't always been a great listener in a lot of areas in my life, but when it comes to talking to pitchers, I communicate well.
"As far as listening to my wife, she might say different. When she talks about the color of the drapes, whatever, I don't hear it.
"Just don't tell my wife I said that."
No, that stays between us.
"But if it's something that interests me, like pitching," Cooper said, "then I listen and communicate well."
With so many young pitchers on the staff, Cooper will have his hands full and more than enough interesting dialogue, but he handled the youngsters well last year.
Now comes the tough part. All those kids -- and there were many -- who threw so well so fast in 2012 will have to adjust as the hitters adjust to them, and therein lies the rub.
"As an example, we're asking Nate Jones to throw more fastballs to different spots to counteract that," Cooper explained. "Last year Addison Reed pretty much threw in on lefties and away on righties. To improve he's going to have to use both sides of the plate more so that the hitter has to think more, and the more a hitter thinks, the better.
"They have to throw more consistent breaking balls, more first-pitch strikes, more of the basics. The more and more I see, the more I realize it's about the basics, and it's our job to make sure they're adept at the basics.
"It's not easy to do as a pitcher, so you have to work on things. That's where my mind is at with these guys. Try to improve the basics to make the end product better.
"Even the older guys have to do that. We're all trying to get better, add things and make things better. If you're not doing that, you're not getting better. We'll continue to talk about that."
And Cooper will continue to listen.

Matt Harvey has a partially torn ligament in his right elbow, a potentially devastating injury for the pitcher that had given the foundering Mets reason to be hopeful about its future.
For now, the 24-year-old Harvey and the Mets hope that he will be able to avoid reconstruction surgery on the ulnar collateral ligament. A full prognosis will not be made until swelling in the elbow goes down in about two weeks.
"It was tough. Obviously it was the last thing I was expecting when I went this morning," Harvey said Monday. "I am going to do everything I can to avoid surgery."
The National League's All-Star game starter on his home field this July, Harvey has been experiencing forearm tenderness for some time but he could not pinpoint exactly when it began. The discomfort increased during his start Saturday against the Detroit Tigers, when he allowed a career-high 13 hits.
Harvey admitted he was tired against the Tigers, the 26th start of his first full season in the major leagues, and manager Terry Collins said he noticed Harvey's pitches weren't as crisp, a sign of fatigue.
But Collins didn't know Harvey had any issues with his forearm until Sunday and the ace went for an MRI at the Hospital for Special Surgery a day later.
"Nothing is shooting in my elbow at all. That's not the issue," Harvey said. "When I heard the news, I was pretty shocked. I'm still very optimistic."
Harvey wasn't the only one in the Mets organization stunned by the news.
"This was a surprise to all of us," general manager Sandy Alderson said. "Forearm pain can foretell problems with the elbow, but in this particular circumstance there had been no indications of that."
The seventh pick overall of the 2010 draft, Harvey is 9-5 with a 2.27 ERA. He has a league-leading 191 strikeouts in 178 1-3 innings pitched and was a top candidate for the NL Cy Young Award.
The Mets were working on limiting Harvey's innings to a little more than 200 this season. Alderson said there is no real scientific basis for managing young pitchers' careers.
"These innings limits are not a guarantee of anything. They're certainly not based on any science," Alderson said. "This is a kind of progressive injury that isn't a function of, we don't believe in this case a specific incident or quote overuse. It's an anatomical fact that these things happen."

|Some working
This article describes both the 1005P and the 1005PE, since the only difference of the 1005PE is wlan n and a bigger harddrive.
- 1 Installation
- 2 Kernel
- 3 Xorg
- 4 Powersaving and ACPI
- 5 Hardware Info
- Installing from USB: according to the article on installing from USB, the standard ISO images can be used for this (beginning with release 2010.05).
- Installing via PXE works well. It requires another computer to use as PXE host, and some configuration.
acpi_osi=Linux to your
/boot/grub/menu.lst to set the EeePC ACPI Interfaces to "Linux-Mode". Then the current kernel (as of writing 2.6.34) will autoload the eeepc_laptop module and everything works perfectly.
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda2 ro acpi_osi=Linux
Video Driver
Install xf86-video-intel.
Device Autodetection
Everything works out of the box. xf86-input-evdev gets installed automatically with the xorg package. The current Xorg does not depend on HAL anymore, it uses dbus directly.
DPI setting
A good comfortable setting would be 96dpi or 75dpi if you like your fonts really small. An easy way to set your DPI would be to add this to the end of
exec /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -dpi 96
(-nolisten is also a good idea for reducing unneeded system activity)
Graphic Performance
The default graphic performance is the best you can currently get. It is not needed to add "optimizations" like "AccelMethod" "exa" to your
xorg.conf, because these will get ignored by the current version of the Intel drivers anyway. The only thing you can add is XvMC Hardware decoding support, which allows your Intel graphics adapter to decode MPEG2 video material. To do this and set XvMC, here is a minimal
Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "intel" Option "XvMC" "on" EndSection
More is not needed in your
xorg.conf, since Xorg uses input hotplugging.
To let X know where the XvMC library is, run:
# echo /usr/lib/libIntelXvMC.so > /etc/X11/XvMCConfig
Install xf86-input-synaptics (see Touchpad Synaptics). To enable Two Finger Scrolling and to disable Edge Scrolling, add this to your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf inside the InputClass Section:
Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "true" Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "true" Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ" "10" Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinW" "7" Option "VertEdgeScroll" "false" Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "false"
For a nice GUI tool, you can try lxrandr.
Switch to external monitor (VGA port):
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off --output VGA1 --auto
Switch back to eeepc's LCD:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output VGA1 --off
Powersaving and ACPI
Your best bet is to disable all hardware you do not intend to use (to access the BIOS settings, press F2 after rebooting).
Laptop-mode-tools provides an easy way to setup most of the available power saving options, which include spinning down the hard drive and adjusting the power saving modes of the harddrive and CPU, as well as autosuspending the USB-ports, setting screen brightness, configuring the eee's own 'Super Hybrid Engine', etc.
# pacman -S laptop-mode-tools
The main configuration file is
/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf, plus there are several separate configuration files in
/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/ for the various power saving modules managed by laptop-mode-tools. The files are well commented, so it should be easy to set everything up as needed. (For more information, see Laptop Mode Tools)
To make the daemon start at boot, add
laptop-mode to the
DAEMONS array in
LCD brightness
The relevant configuration file is
/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/lcd-brightness.conf. Brightness values are between 0 (darkest) and 15 (brightest). An example of usable settings:
BATT_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 1" LM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 15" NOLM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 15" BRIGHTNESS_OUTPUT="/sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness"
CPU frequency
The CPU frequency is controlled through the file
/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/cpufreq.conf. The available frequency options can be found out by running:
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
This functionality requires the package cpufrequtils. The package also provides a daemon which can be used on its own (See CPU Frequency Scaling for its usage). If handling frequency scaling through laptop-mode-tools, the cpufreq daemon should not be loaded, and its configuration file options can remain commented out, since the settings will come from
Either way, cpufreq requires the kernel module acpi-cpufreq.
The eeepc's 'Super Hybrid Engine' has a significant effect on powersaving. This underclocks the FSB for powersave/overclocks for performance and can be controlled via the file
/sys/devices/platform/eeepc/cpufv which is provided by the module eeepc_laptop.
You can manage this with laptop-mode-tools. The relevant config file is
USB suspend
Config file:
Tip: make use of the option to disable the suspending of some USB hardware (eg. 3g modems) by using lsusb to get the ID and then insert it in the configuration file.
Audio power save
"With the automatic power-saving, the driver turns off the codec power appropriately when no operation is required. When no applications use the device and/or no analog loopback is set, the power disablement is done fully or partially. It'll save a certain power consumption, thus good for laptops (even for desktops)." — Kernel documentation
To make this change permanent, you need add the next line to
options snd_hda_intel power_save=1
Some work out of the box (see Asus Eee PC 1005HA#Hotkeys for more).

Okay, fair enough, the Sound Sofa is huge. The regular set looks like it can seat up to at least five, more if you've got kids bundling up for a music session in your living room. Sound Sofa gives you different sizing options that you can choose from, such as a sectional that is a loveseat plus a loner armchair, or two loveseats connected at the corner. It's got 16 color options to help match the scheme into your home, though personally we're not a fan of the corduroy look. It looks a bit like grandma's sofas got hacked by her audiophile grandchildren.
You can dock your iOS device straight onto the Sound Sofa, or insert a USB-connected device and SD memory card. Like all iPod docks, it will also charge your device as it's playing the tunes. The sofa is equipped with three speakers that boasts 2.1 stereo sound. Oh, you can connect to it via Bluetooth too if you want your laptops to get in on the action. The one thing the site doesn't make clear, however, is how this thing is getting powered. Nothing is weirder than a sofa with a power cord sticking out of it for maximum flexibility.
Still, no matter what specs we can tell you about it, this whole thing feels counter-intuitive. Isn't the sofa what you usually push out of the way when you start a dance party at home? You can't do that when they're the center piece or if they're corded.
If you're actually into this, no judgment. Sound Sofa is currently only available in the United Kingdom where you can buy it online, on the phone, or try it out in stores first to see what your butt thinks of the sound vibrations. Still, we give you our last plea. If you're willing to drop that much money on a strange couch, why not spend less on a better looking one and just invest in a great surround sound system? This is why we have a guide to get even the least geeky person to understand the different variants of surround sound formats.
We'll give the Sound Sofa this much credit though: It's definitely the best iPod dock you can own that you can sit on without breaking. Just remember to not spill anything on it or you might be in for an electrifying experience — and not the good kind.
