I agree - their religion is like the dark ages.
I don't understand how people believe such nonsense.
Most all religions are like the Dark Ages.
Catholics just have better stage props.
And better costumes as well.
[sigh] Call me irresponsible or overly angry or who-knows-what ... but I see that picture and know that the thought-balloon does indeed represent what he and his cronies are about ... and I just SO want to put a target reticle over it, centered just below that stupid hat of his.
I am just sick to death of putting up with that brand of blatant yet approved stupidity.

But they are practicing what they preach. Note John 12:1-8 (though the story appears in the other Gospels too) that Jesus says you will only have him for a short time but the poor you will always have, and rebukes the Apostles for suggesting they should sell the oil used to anoint his feet to give to the poor.
In John, the story has it that Judas would steal the money thus obtained, the other Gospels not so. But the crux of the story is that the worship of Jesus is more important than feeding the poor.
There is some argument (amongst apologists) that the oil being thus used was a cultural thing, that the woman knew of Jesus's upcoming fate at the hands of the Pharisees, and this was the cultural equivalent of buying a coffin or burial plot before you actually need it.
However, apologetics being what they are, the arguments on both sides of the theological question are unsupported opinion about an unsupported story. What the story relays is that worship is more important than feeding the poor. Since the story is in all four Gospels, it must be important to ignore the poor. (That might explain why, when I was homeless for eleven years, I got no help from Christians.)
See http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/jn/12.html John 12:1-8
http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/mt/26.html Matthew 26:6-13
http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/mk/14.html Mark 14:3-9
http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/lk/7.html Luke 7:37-50, with an inexplicable departure in the middle of the tale into the parable of the two debtors, then returning to finish the tale.
Not only is it in all four Gospels, but the books have it as Jesus's words. No self-respecting Christian would disobey Jesus (except when convenient to do so, as they are already forgiven).
Stephen Fry rips Rat-Zinger's Church of the Pious Pedophiles.
No matter how much they try to pull it back, human progress is oneway traffic. No going back, it got to go in the forward direction.
I love his cap. I wish I could borrow it for a day or two.

Yup, the Bible is the best source document to create atheists, properly read and understood.
As for my homelessness, that which does not kill you makes you stronger. Moreover, by an unlikely set of circumstances, had I not been homeless, I would not have met my wife on the Internet (a long tortuous trail that lead to her). So all bad things come to an end, in this case a good one.
As for the billboards, Christians do not view it as vandalism; moreover, they have precedent in the New Testament (Jesus turning over the moneychangers' tables and attacking them with a scourge). The Bible teaches that vandalism and violence (even in the NT) are acceptable, as Jesus himself did it.

m4tt needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 38 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
I'm starting a new e-Commerce site selling handy tools that will help individuals move awkward and heavy items with the minimum of fuss.
Please note: There doesn't need to be any specific reference to lifting.
Will I Need It?
The site will be geared around adding new and innovative products that will increase people's productivity.It's a rhetorical question but a good one. Will someone need a product that can help them carry a sofa upstairs by themselves? I hope so!
I would like the design to have real clarity on any colour background, as I wish to design a site, business cards and flyers that will sport the same logo against different designed colour schemes.
It must sport the "Will I Need It?" name, other than that I am interested to see what you can come up with.
- The website name.
- Design files and output files.
- Capital letters at the start of each word.
- The question mark to remain.
- All lowercase

With hardly a week before Thanksgiving, Lora Young counted just four frozen turkeys in a freezer at the Loaves & Fishes, a nonprofit food pantry in Glendale.
That's not nearly enough to help feed hundreds of low income clients who she said visit the pantry in the hopes of receiving some food for a decent Thanksgiving meal.
But it's been tough for food pantries in Burbank and Glendale too, with fewer corporate and private donations falling well behind increased demand among those who have been hit hard by the recession.
"We are struggling just like everybody else," Young said.
Some of those in need have run out of their unemployment benefits and savings while others are families and seniors who struggle to survive on a fixed income, she said.
The Salvation Army Glendale has seen more families from South Glendale use their services and receive donations, which have also declined, said Rick White, the organization's director of social services and volunteer coordinator.
The nonprofit organization provides food assistance for 150 to 175 families per week.
Adding to the burden of a drop off in donations, White has seen the price of food increase, so a dollar doesn't stretch as far as it used to.
Employees at the Burbank Temporary Aid Center last week saw 300 men and women, including families, who needed food, help paying bills, showers, laundry services and lunch, said Edward Stapleton, the nonprofit's facilities and pantry manager.
They also signed up 200 families to receive Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets.
But the holiday season rush has yet to begin, and food, including staples for a Thanksgiving dinner, is still greatly needed.
"We need to keep this going until May," he said.
The organization's largest food and supplies drive effort kicks off during the holiday season, Stapleton added.
Donations come from local churches, service clubs and companies, including Warner Bros. and First Methodist Church. On Monday, a youth soccer team donated food supplies.
Still, the center needs turkeys for the holiday season and gifts for kids and teens, Executive Director Barbara Howell said.
"We just need things that your family would like," she said.
To donate:
Burbank Temporary Aid Center: 1304 West Burbank Blvd. in Burbank, (818) 848-2822.
The Salvation Army Glendale: 320 West Windsor Road in Glendale, (818) 246-5586.
Catholic Charities: Loaves and Fishes, 4322 San Fernando Road in Glendale, (818) 409-3080.

Shaping the 2012 Giro d'Italia
-a more "moderate" race than in past editions,
-greater consideration for the riders and their fatigue,
-transfers between stages will be very limited,
-there will be an equal amount of elevation gain but the ascents will be placed at the right times,
-the Stelvio will be included with a mountain top finish, not as an individual time trial,
-the Mortirolo could be included,
-one of his goals is to attract at least 3 of the 5-6 riders that are capable of winning a major stage race; Contrador is not expected to return as he wants to win another Tour and about Evans it is unknown at this time if he will return,
-he wants to attract riders such as Gilbert, Cancellara, and Hushovd; and of corse, there will be sprint stages for the sprinters,
-he is studying how there can be a lasting memory to Wouter Weylandt who died after a crash on Stage 3,
During the interview Vegni was asked about the elimination of the Crostis in this year's edition and the resulting scandal. His reply, "After the stage in Orvieto I left to go to Friuli to view the ascent and descent. I was impressed by the work done. The security was guaranteed 100%. What I saw down at the Tour this year was far more dangerous.
The decision to not use the Crostis was the result of other disagreements between the teams and the UCI. Contador never said, "I don't want to do it". His words were manipulated by those who had an interest in abolishing the Crostis."

Wonder what this means?
"Wonder what this means?"ReplyDelete
It means...the use of politics, plain and simple. Personally, I dislike Contador and I believe that given his past remarks and actions about stages, roads, other riders, tactics etc. I believe he basically said he did not really want to ride the Crostis- he is not what I would consider a 'tough' guy of the peloton by any stretch. He is gifted with athletic ability but unfortunately as a person he has some room to grow. He has exhibited selfish behavior, moaning and whining on a constant basis, as seems to be the case with some top-level Spanish athletes. Alonso comes to mind right away. Ronaldo is another example of this prevailing self-absorbed attitude. But I digress. Politics seem to play more of a part of commercial sporting endeavors than ever, because of the millions of dollars involved.
Regarding the changes to the Giro, I somewhat disagree with Vegni. A grand Tour IS supposed to be very hard and very grueling. Making it easier, or "more Moderate" dilutes the intent and moves further away from its roots and its difficult history. Not to mention it has some undertones of how the progressive globalists have permeated male society and have watered down the tough and rugged aspects of men in general. I thought Zomegnan did a very admirable job of creating a challenging and difficult course- only to be critized by a contingent of 'boys' in the pro peloton. I think Angelo has helped to bring more awareness and visibility to the Giro as well. But again, politics have reared their ugly head in the cycling world.ReplyDelete

When you go to buy a snowboard, you don't have enough information to make an educated purchase. You're forced to buy a board based on the information you do have-the length, the width, the flex when you administer the belly push, the visible camber, the team, the ads-well, let's just say that there's only so much you can tell about how a board is going to perform in the shop. You can sample ice cream before buying it, and you can test drive a car, but just try to take a board for a lap through the park before you buy it. You need to ride it, and unless you made it to an on-snow demo the previous year, we're guessing you're SOL. And that's where the Board Test comes in. We ride the boards, and we report back to you about which ones rode the best. Simple and effective.
The Good Wood test is a men's and women's freestyle board test performed in the park at Copper Mountain, Colorado. This year a separate halfpipe test with pipe-specific testers was also added. In total, our 23-person crew of seasoned riders sessioned 25 brands' top board picks-over 150 boards in a full range of sizes mounted, waxed, and maintained through the week by an army of brand representatives.
The boards were put through the paces on the 2,000-vertical-foot-long run from the top of the American Flyer through wide, butter-friendly groomers, the kids park boxes, the High Point Pocket Park, the Jibberish Pocket Park, and into the massive kicker and transition-filled Catalyst Terrain Park. We pretty much took over Copper Mountain.
Our testers scored each board at the end of every run for variables like pop, turning, stability, flex, buttering, edging, switch performance, rail performance-22 different factors were considered for each board by each tester. At the end of the week, the testers retired to the hot tubs, and we crunched the numbers to find out which boards performed the very best.
We're confident you'll find the best board for you in these Good Wood winning boards categories-which should come as a huge relief, because the last time we checked, snowboard shops won't accept returns on used sticks.-Annie Fast
Top Five Women's Park Boards Over $400
Burton Stria
The only women's board offered with the stance-freedom and responsiveness of the new EST binding system. This new true-twin model was built to deliver lots of pop and a mellow ride with a forgiving flex. (The EST disc is compatible with all Burton bindings.)
Tester feedback:
"Stria's new technology makes set up quick and painless. I loved it for making turns. I felt like I could stay on my feet no matter what."
"Awesome ride-great for turning and fun in the park. Great all-around board."
Available sizes: 146, 149, 153
Forum Craft
A true-twin with a mid-flex pattern, the Craft features Grain Belt technology in the core, which involves 45-degree placement of the core along the toe and heel and vertical throughout for better overall carving performance.
Tester feedback:
"So fun to jump. I felt like I was floating in the clouds."
"Fun all-around board. It's best on the rails and jumps."
Available sizes: 142, 147, 152, 155
Nitro Janna
All the technology you'd expect from Nitro built into an aggressive board for the girl who's known for guinea-pigging the jump before the boys. Including a lightweight core strengthened by Dyneema laminates, a speedy sintered base, and tapered tip and tail for easier spinning.
Tester feedback:
"The smoothest ride I've had in a while! Aggressive and fun-a tough combo to find!"
"Very good board. Good flex, real fun. Seems like it would hold up for a whole season."
Available sizes: 147, 151, 154
Ride Fever
A true-twin shape with Ride's own Slimewalls for added dampening and durability on the rails. The Cleave edges provide more ding-resistance against the rails-they're 50-percent thicker than your average edge.
Tester feedback:
"Great pop and I could finally get my 23 inch stance-I could have banged out all the way to 27!"
"Great-absolutely perfect! Great pop, great flex, super-fun spins and rails."
Available sizes: 144, 147, 150, 153
Sapient Seduction
A snappy nose and tail and a soft mid-flex ride all wrapped up in a true-twin shape. The edges come with a four-degree bevel, so it's less catchy on the rails, but still edging on the slopes.
Tester feedback:
"This board's shape and overall feel were great. I liked it the moment I strapped in."
"Just riding was fun and boxes were fun-it's a good one."
Available sizes: 142, 147, 152, 155
Top Five Women's Park Boards Under $400
Forum Star
A straightforward directional board with a very soft flex-great for riders who want a board they can effortlessly control. Testers loved how this board performed on the rails.
Tester feedback:
"Soft enough on rails but also poppy and smooth on jumps."
"This board felt particularly good on rails, also it was light, so it felt smooth on takeoffs and landing.
Available sizes: 142, 146, 149, 152, 156
Gnu B-Nice MTX
Built to be an all-mountain freestyle shredder, the twin shape's centered sidecut, Magne-Traction edges, and soft flex were real tester pleasers. Dig the Starbucksy graphics.
Tester feedback:
"Super fun board on all features and great edge to edge. I would ride this board on everything"
"This board was really easy to control in the park and pretty stable. Good on jumps and I was surprised how well it did on rails."
Available sizes: 144, 147, 150, 153
K2 Va Va Voom
This is a true twin with a longer effective edge and a shorter nose and tail. K2 designers suggest you drop down 5 cm in size from what you normally ride (e.g., instead of a 148, go 143). The combination of a shorter length and thin tapered tip and tail will have you spinning dizzy.
Tester feedback:
"I rode a 143 because it should ride like a 148. It was so fun, I'm going to ride 135s from now on as long as I can get a wide stance like on this board."
"A super light ride. A bit soft for big jumps but great for rails and smaller stuff"
Available sizes: 139, 143, 148, 152
Omatic Benatar
A soft and light twin with a two-centimeter setback stance. Air channels in the core give the board a featherweight feel, while softness comes from the specific women's freeride flex pattern.
Tester feedback:
"This board was super fun. It was easy to make turns and smooth on rails while still powerful on jumps."
"Good overall park board. Fun to press on rails. Spins fast!"
Available sizes: 144, 147, 149, 152, 155
Venue Coral
A fancy directional board set back three-quarters of an inch. Described as a forgiving all-mountain board with a mellow radial sidecut and repeatedly described by testers as a "playful" ride.
Tester feedback:
"So much fun-great on rails and good pop for kickers. Pretty forgiving for buttering."
"Perfect as an overall board. It's playful and fun, but still forgiving."
Available sizes: 142, 147, 152, 157

LOS ANGELES -- Just over a week ago, I saw Ric Flair wrestle at the Staples Center in L.A. at a house show and it saddened me to think that might be the last time I would ever see The Nature Boy wrestle live. At Monday's press conference for WrestleMania, I discovered that I'm in the same boat as Triple H.
"It's tough. I really have mixed emotions about it," Triple H told SLAM! Wrestling after the formal part of the WrestleMania press conference ended. "There's a part of me that wants to see Ric go out while he's still got it, while he's still healthy."
There's no doubt that the 59-year-old Flair still has it in my mind. At the Raw brand house show, in which he beat Mr. Kennedy, Flair was still amazingly over with the crowd, and put forth an effort of a much younger man.
With his upcoming induction to the WWE Hall of Fame -- he was inducted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2006 -- and his retirement looming in the near future, Triple H shared his feelings on his friend and mentor's exit from active competition.
"He's had the most incredible run of anybody ever," Triple H continued. "There's that part of it. There's the part of me as a fan, I love to watching Ric go out every week and perform, and I know he loves the business more than anything. I'm sad for the fact that he's not going to have that aspect of his life. But he'll still be in business -- he'll be involved in the business, he'll still be there. He's going to be an ambassador for our sport until he dies. That's what Ric lives for. In a world sometimes where everybody talks just about the paydays and the money and the hype and all that stuff, Ric is still just a guy that just loves to go out there and perform for the fans. As long as there's fans there and they respect what he does, he's a happy man."
Triple H will be watching backstage for sure.
"He's incredible -- and he's still carrying it up to this day. But I think when that match happens, where it's his last one, he's certainly got nothing to hang his head about."

HOWTOs for Portage
From Sabayon Wiki
Revision as of 00:10, 25 November 2012 by Aposteeltje (talk | contribs) (→Portage Stuff)
Portage is a package management system used by Gentoo Linux. Gentoo is sometimes referred to as a meta-distribution due to the extreme flexibility of Portage, which even makes it operating-system-independent. Sabayon Linux is based on Gentoo, but is a bit different in a few ways. Portage is not the default package manager for Sabayon and should only be used by those that are highly experienced with Gentoo. Sabayon Linux Entropy Server uses Portage to bring you the binary packages, making your life much simpler.
This page is to separate Portage HowTo articles from Entropy HowTo articles. If you have a HowTo article for Portage, please add it here.
The Portage package manager is not the default package manager of Sabayon. It should only be used by advanced users who understand the Portage system and understand what flags can do to a system. If you insist on using Portage and you FUBAR your Sabayon Linux installation, you are on your own. This is your big warning, so pay attention to it.

Why Consider Business Administration Graduate School?
Today's MBA school is oriented to both the scholar and the working professional. Many schools offer several formats, day and evening classes and lots of program choices.

Pursuing a business administration graduate degree on campus can be an engaging way to learn. Students may find they pick up some of the softer skills needed in modern management. Things such as effective communication, coaching and collaboration. Plus, the in-person setting can lend itself to networking, finding a mentor, and making friendships.

Traditional Full-Time MBA Programs
Traditional Full-time MBA programs (FTMBAs) are usually intended for young professionals and recent graduates. These take two academic years (four terms in most schools). Usually cohort-based, students start and finish their degree with the same group of classmates. Aside from classroom learning, students may have a capstone course or internship requirement. While course topics vary, possible core subjects are listed below.

Expert InsightWe asked CEO Deborah Sweeney at MyCorporation, on how she's applied her MBA in her profession:
My MBA has been invaluable in the ownership of my business. I leverage my learnings about P&Ls, Commission structures, organizational and team management, and employment law. I use my training from business school every day.
Professional MBA programs
Professional MBA programs (PMBAs) are designed for working students to keep their jobs while they pursue their degree. Some of these programs can be completed in as little as two and a half years. Classes meet after work or on weekends. Students usually take about two classes per term, due to the part-time nature of the program. This type of MBA program often suits individuals with three to seven years of work experience.
One-Year MBA Programs
One-Year MBA programs are typically for recent graduates and those with working experience. Students with an undergraduate degree or minor in business may completed their program in as little as one year. Students with a non-business Bachelors degree usually must complete pre-MBA courses prior to the start date. Some business administration graduate schools offer the One Year MBA with an accounting track. This may be ideal for students who are preparing to meet the 150-hour CPA requirement.
Executive MBA Programs
Executive MBA programs (EMBAs) are accelerated programs for the experienced professional. Applicants may need to have seven or so years of work history. The specifics vary between schools. In some schools, an accelerated MBA is a one-year intensive full-time program. However, in other schools, time to completion may be less than two years.
EducationDynamics maintains business relationships with the schools it features.

The Master of Science in Management is an alternative to the MBA. Usually all the core courses for an MS degree pertain to the one theme – management. Students build a technical skill set and gain a solid foundation in business leadership. Some of the possible topics of study are listed below.
- Recruiting and training personnel
- Strategy
- Ethics
- Business operations
What Should I Look for in A Business Administration Graduate School?
Since everyone has personal preferences, you should keep yours in mind. Business Administration graduate schools have their own look, feel, student life and services. But aside from that, you may want to think about a few key points.
- Is there a concentration area that interests you?
- Are you interested in earning an MBA abroad, in a specific city or state?
- Have you been reviewing accredited Business Administration Graduate Schools?
Business Administration Graduate Degree Concentrations
Have you heard someone say they earned their MBA in Finance? Business Administration graduate schools often have unique 'tracks' or concentrations. These allow students to gain more depth in one area. A few examples follow.
- Accounting
- Management
- Marketing
- Real Estate
- Strategic Innovation
"Location is Everything"
Are you looking for an MS degree at a local university? Would it excite you to earn your MBA degree in another city, state or abroad? Find Business Administration Graduate Schools by location using the filter on the menu bar. Many schools have partnerships with local businesses, and there is often student housing.
Find Accredited Business Administration Graduate Schools
Many Business Administration Graduate Schools are regionally accredited. There are six regional agencies to look for, each recognized by the Department of Education.
Accreditation is something a school submits to voluntarily. It is a process of external review that considers a school's mission, faculty, and curricula. For the business grad student, finding an accredited university could mean trusting their degree is legitimate. It may indicate that the learning material is relevant and not outdated. It is a stamp of outside approval to look for.
Once a university has earned accreditation, it might take the process further. It could then seek 'specialized' or 'programmatic' accreditation for their disciplines (such as an MBA program). This type of accreditation might matter to future employers. It reflects that the student earned their degree in a program that passed rigorous standards itself.
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) is one such specialized accreditor, and there are 777 business schools in 52 countries and territories that have earned AACSB accreditation.ii Their website has a database of the schools that have earned their accreditation. The AACSB is the oldest of the accreditors for MBA programs. Other accreditors for MBA programs and business schools might include the following.
- Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP)
- International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE)
- The Association of MBA's (AMBA
- The European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS).
Independent research might help you figure out what type of accreditation is appropriate for your studies. You may also need to understand accreditation when you evaluate business administration school reputation.

Dropbox is a great tool, but if you use it on more than one computer, you are bound to find conflicted copies eventually. A conflicted copy is created when the same file is edited on two different computers at the same time, or close enough that Dropbox cannot tell which one is the newest.
The good news is that Dropbox creates these conflicted copies instead of trying to guess which file is the one that you want. The bad news is that if you don't notice that Dropbox has created a "conflicted copy, you might start using the wrong file. Unfortunately Dropbox does not alert you when a conflicted copy is created, you have to search for it yourself.
Here is an example of a conflicted file: Settings (TJ Luoma's conflicted copy 2013-01-09).textexpander As you can probably guess, the original filename is Settings.textexpander and Dropbox has added the words "conflicted copy" and the date in parentheses, as well as the username. (The username can be helpful if you find a conflict in a shared folder.)
Doing it is easy, remembering to do it is hard.
I've known that Dropbox creates these files for years, but do I ever remember to look for them? Nope. In fact, I don't even try to remember to look for them. Instead, I have a shell script which does that for me.
The shell script runs every five minutes via launchd, and if it finds any conflicts, it alerts me using Growl and growlnotify. It uses a "sticky" notification in Growl, which means that it will not go away until I click on it (but the notification also has a unique ID so only one notification will ever appear on-screen at any given time).
- Download dropbox-launchd-conflicted-copy.sh to /usr/local/bin/ and make sure it's executable (chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/dropbox-launchd-conflicted-copy.sh).
- Move com.tjluoma.check-for-dropbox-conflicted-copies.plist to ~/Library/LaunchAgents/ and then either 1) run this line in Terminal:
launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.tjluoma.check-for-dropbox-conflicted-copies.plist
or 2) log out and back in.
How do you find the conflicts once you know that they exist?
There are two options that you can use once you are alerted that there are conflicts in your Dropbox. The first is Spotlight, the second is dropbox-launchd-conflicted-copy.sh.
Option A) Use Spotlight. Create a search which looks for filenames that match "'s conflicted copy". Actually, you don't even have to make one; you can just download this one DropboxConflicted.savedSearch and move it to ~/Library/Saved Searches/. You might even want to add that to the Finder's sidebar.
Note: Once the Saved Search is there, you can even use it with
mdfind in Terminal:
mdfind -s 'DropboxConflicted' -onlyin "$HOME/Dropbox"
Or, if you don't have a saved search, you can use Spotlight on the command line like this:
mdfind -name "'s conflicted copy" -onlyin ~/Dropbox
Option B) Use
find. Call me an old crotchety Unix nerd (pause), but I still prefer the Unix
find command instead of Spotlight. Asking Spotlight to look for something is like asking my 10 year old: if he comes back and says that he couldn't find it, I always wonder how hard he really looked. On the other hand:
find ~/Dropbox/ -path "*(*'s conflicted copy [0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]*" -print
This always gives me reliable results, and it only takes a few seconds.
But wait, there's more! The dropbox-launchd-conflicted-copy.sh script is "context aware." When it runs via
launchd it gives you the Growl notification shown above, but if it on the command line, it will present you with a list of all of the conflicted files that it found. Just launch Terminal.app, type dropbox-launchd-conflicted-copy.sh and press enter. If you don't have any conflicted files, it will say "No conflicts found" and you can rely on
launchd to keep an eye on it in the future.

Looks like the Sci Fi channel won't have all the episodes aired by this Friday when the movie premiers. Guess I'm going to have to pick up the dvd set.Not a big deal, since I planned on doing it anyway.

Dear Dr. Elizabeth, I was talking to my friend the other day and he told me that he lost 100 pounds from eating celery amongst other fruits and vegetables. He advised that celery increased his matabilism which caused him to loose weight. Is there any truth in this statement??? Thanks.
Celery does not increase the metabolic rate. Celery is however very low in calories- one 8" stalk contains only 6 calories. This makes it very useful for weight loss, since one can get a lot of eating pleasure from celery and consume very few calories. Perhaps most importantly, it makes you feel full, which stops you from eating other foods that are higher in calories. Eating fruits and vegetables is a good weight loss strategy, since they provide the nutrients that you need with far fewer calories than many other foods, and losing weight requires fewer calories but not fewer nutrients such as minerals and vitamins. You can find the calorie content of other fruits and vegetables here.

Oil Money
Lindsay Lohan has been in London for a week. And everyone knew she couldn't pay for it herself. This is a girl who was once offered $7 million for a proper Hollywood movie. Now when she goes overseas, we're all asking ourselves who she had to f-ck to front her plane ticket.
Oil money.
It cost Prince Azim of Brunei $100,000 apparently to have Lindsay Lohan and her mother Dina brought in for his big New Year's Eve party. Which is how she can afford to stay at the Dorchester and eat out at upscale restaurants every night. (Source)
Your first reaction might be to shake your head at the Prince's stupidity -- why would he waste his money? That's a lot of money...for us. For him, it's loose change. And besides, this is what obscenely rich people do -- they throw money at sideshow carnival attractions or exotic animals to show off for their other obscenely rich friends.
And that, in essence, is what Lindsay Lohan has become: a sideshow carnival attraction, a parrot that can stand on its head, a llama with a pink toe, a freak oddity to be stared at and passed around...
And that's only the best case scenario.
Because rich people also spend money on, ahem, companionship. At these kinds of parties, they fly in the girls from all over the world for every kind of appetite.
Do you want a wholesome Nebraskan blonde?
Would you prefer a child-like Asian?
Or how about a washed-up Hollywood starlet -- you can have her mother too if that's what gets you off.
I mean...that's pretty much the situation here. That's how Lindsay Lohan makes her living now. Tara Reid, 37, has been doing it for several years. She probably has about 5 left in her. Lindsay, at 26, could put in a solid decade on this circuit. That'll take her to 40. Well done, old girl, well done.
Attached -- Lohan out with friends the last two nights in London.

The Houses of Healing
|The Return of the King chapters
|Book V
|Book VI
The Houses of Healing is the eighth chapter of the fifth book in The Return of the King.
Crying and in pain, Merry accompanies the procession carrying Théoden and Éowyn into the city. As Merry ascends the city roads, he runs into Pippin, who is startled and glad, and notices that Merry is stumbling badly. Merry's arm has gone completely numb after he stabbed the Nazgûl. Pippin escorts Merry to the Houses of Healing.
After the battle, Aragorn furls his banner and orders his men to prepare tents outside the city. He refuses to claim his throne until the war with Mordor is decided, for good or ill. Aragorn plans to wait outside the gate until the Lord of Minas Tirith bids him to enter. Aragorn, learning of Denethor's fate, assigns Imrahil to act as the interim leader of Gondor. Aragorn, Éomer, and Imrahil secretly agree, though, that Gandalf is their true leader for the remainder of the war against Mordor.
At Gandalf's request, Aragorn enters the city in the guise of a Ranger. The wounded, including Merry, Faramir, and Éowyn, grow steadily sicker from the poison of the Enemy's weapons. One of the city's nurses recalls a legend of Gondor, which says, "The hands of the king are the hands of a healer, and so shall the rightful king be known." Only Aragorn can save those wounded by the Enemy.
Aragorn crushes the leaves of a common, seemingly useless herb that grows in Gondor and stirs the leaves in a bowl of warm water. The sweet scent of the herb awakens Faramir from his fever. Faramir immediately affirms Aragorn as his superior and king. Aragorn then tends to Éowyn and Merry, who both return to consciousness when Aragorn touches and kisses them. All through the night, Aragorn heals the wounded of the city. Rumors fly throughout the city that the King of Gondor now walks again, bringing healing in his hands. As foretold at Aragorn's birth, the people call him Elfstone, or Elessar, after the green gem that he wears around his neck, which Galadriel gave to him earlier.

LONDON, England (CNN) -- You're overseas. It's late. You're driving alone when disaster strikes. You've crashed your car and you need help. Who do you call?
In an emergency, it's easier to remember just one number.
You might not know the number for the local emergency services, or that it's 999 in Britain; 15, 17 and 18 in France; or 10111 and 10177 in South Africa.
But do you know that there is one internationally-recognized number that will connect you to the emergency services across Europe and even further beyond?
The 112 emergency number was first introduced in 1991 so that European citizens could dial just one number, rather than have to memorize a different one for each country.
The number is now operational in all 27 EU member states. It should also redirect to emergency services on GSM cell phones in countries including the United States (see box below).
But 18 years after 112's introduction, it is still largely unheard of.
A 2009 Eurobarometer survey revealed that only 24 percent of Europeans are aware of the number. In Ireland, nine percent know about it, eight percent in the UK and only three percent in Italy.
The lack of awareness is partly the fault of older EU member states including the UK, France and Italy that have been reluctant to advertise the number, said Gary Machado from the European Emergency Number Association (EENA) that was set up to promote 112.
Technical issues and language barriers also haven't helped. EENA told CNN the number still does not have 100 percent coverage across Europe. And 29 percent of people in the Eurobarometer survey said they had encountered language problems when making an emergency call in another EU country.
"Officially, 19 member states are able to answer in English," said Machago. "But that's wrong." EENA recently sent journalists to make calls from outside the European Commission in Brussels. Even here, from the center of Europe, staff could not immediately respond in English, let alone other European languages such as Spanish or Finnish, he said.
But with new member states from central and eastern Europe adopting -- and actively supporting -- 112, EENA believes there is now is an opportunity to increase awareness and encourage more countries to upgrade the quality of their services.

Bilingual interpreters
Given the difficulties accessing emergency services when abroad, travelers are increasingly turning to commercial services to get them out of tricky situations.
Services such as "Just text HELP" from CallUma in the UK and Language Line Services from the United States provide 24-hour access to interpreters who speak over 170 languages and can help with anything from dealing with a medical emergency to finding a restaurant.
CallUma founder Tony Partridge came up with the idea for the service after a harrowing experience whilst on holiday in Spain. "It was 2am, my two-year-old was screaming and we needed an ambulance. But I didn't have a clue who to call," he told CNN.
Over 150 people are signing up for the service every day, he said. A common request is for help with lost passports. "We can get people to the nearest embassy and can arrange for transportation if need it," said Partridge.
New tools
Tech-savvy travelers are also taking matters into their own hands and using social media tools such as blogs, location-based technologies, and instant messaging services to respond to emergencies.
Research published in New Scientist magazine last year by Leysia Palen, assistant professor of computer science at the University of Colorado, revealed that social networking sites, including Twitter, were more effective than government emergency services when it came to distributing information during emergencies such as the Virginia Tech shooting of April 2007.
Social networking tools are particularly useful during disasters when cell networks go down but SMS services remain in action.
With this in mind, the Red Cross has worked with Twitter for its "Safe and Well" site so people can register their whereabouts during a disaster, as well as check on people they know.
People are also using social networking and location-based technologies to help co-ordinate rescue efforts.
Last month, friends of two British skiers who went missing in Verbier in the Swiss Alps used Twitter to find their friends' cell phone numbers. They then helped mountain rescue teams locate one missing skier by using GPS and Google Maps from his cell phone.
Google's Latitude service, launched in February, constantly updates users' location, enabling contacts to see their whereabouts on a map as well as their activity via status updates.
Privacy issues aside, the service could prove invaluable for people traveling alone in unfamiliar areas or dangerous situations.
Smart phone applications such as Emergency Aid or In Case of Emergency (ICE) for the iPhone provide one-touch emergency contacts and first aid information in the event of an incident.
Several phone makers, including Samsung and Asus, also offer SOS functions that, with the push of a button, send text messages to pre-set numbers and warn that the sender is in danger.
With an ever-growing array of automatic services for cell phones, we may never need to remember an emergency number again -- whether that's 112 or not.

Asaram charged with gangrape, faces life term
Self-styled godman Asaram has been charged with gang-rape, sexually assaulting a minor and other offences under the IPC, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act and the Juvenile Justice Act.india Updated: Nov 06, 2013 23:51 IST
Hindustan Times
Gangrape, conspiracy and trafficking of a minor – the three key accusations against self-styled godman Asaram could send him to jail for life. The chargesheet was filed on Wednesday and the arguments on the charges will begin on November 16.
The name of Asaram, whose empire was spread across 12 countries, had been mired in controversies -- including mystery deaths at his ashrams and allegations of black magic (See box). But he was finally arrested on September 1 after a 16-year-old girl accused him of rape.
The girl, a student at his Chhindwara gurukul, had alleged that Asaram had sexually assaulted her at his Manai ashram in Jodhpur on August 15 on the pretext of exorcising her of evil spirits, even as her mother was kept waiting outside the room. On her way home, the girl, a resident of Uttar Pradesh, had lodged a complaint with the Delhi police on August 21. Later, her parents alleged that they received repeated death threats from Asaram's followers.

The most severe charge against Asaram is gangrape. If convicted, he and his accomplices -- personal caretaker Shiva, Chhindwara gurukul's caretaker Sharat Chandra, hostel warden Shilpi and personal cook Prakash – would face at least 20 years in jail.

Besides, Asaram has been charged with trafficking of a minor, sexually assaulting a minor, assault, wrongful confinement, criminal intimidation and conspiracy.
Judicial custody of Asaram and his four aides was to end Wednesday, but it has now been extended till November 16.
"We filed the chargesheet before the court today. The court has fixed November 16 for the arguments on the chargesheet," said Anand Purohi, additional advocate general of Rajasthan high court.
"The case against Asaram is watertight and the prosecution will prove all the charges during the trial," said Anand Purohit, additional advocate general of Rajasthan high court.
Police submitted the 1,012-page chargesheet before the Jodhpur district and sessions court against the godman and four of his aides –Chhindwara gurukul caretaker Sharat Chandra, hostel warden Shilpi, his personal caretaker Shiva and driver-cum-personal cook Prakash.
The chargesheet includes 121 documents for evidences and a list of 58 witnesses in the case.
The four co-accused were chargesheeted under Section 17 of the POCSO Act.
The chargesheet was filed amid tight security. Suspecting disturbance by Asaram's followers, none but lawyers and media persons were allowed in the court premises.
Asaram looked nervous as the proceedings were on, but he managed to remain calm.
He will remain in the Jodhpur Central jail, where he had been lodged since his arrest.
Court will begin hearing arguments on the chargesheet from November 16.
Asaram was booked by Jodhpur Police on August 21 on a complaint filed by the teenage girl studying in Class 12 at his Chhindwara ashram.

The teenager alleged that Asaram had called her to his Manai ashram near Jodhpur on August 15 for an "exorcism ritual" and assaulted her while her parents waited outside.
Police arrested Asaram arrested from his Indore ashram and brought him to Jodhpur on September 1.
He was remanded in judicial custody on September 2. Both the district court and the high court had earlier rejected his bail applications.
On October 6, Asaram was slapped with another sexual assault case on a complaint by a woman from Surat.
The woman and her younger sister lodged separate complaints against Asaram and his son Narayan Sai, accusing them of repeated sexual assault between 1997 and 2006.
The sisters were then living in his ashram on the outskirts of Ahmedabad, according to the complaint.
Gujarat Police had also grilled Asaram before bringing back him to Jodhpur on October 23.
Sai has been absconding.
Asaram runs more than 400 ashrams across India.

Remodeled townhouse in Waipahu
If you're considering property in Waipahu, you may want to take a look at this newly listed, affordable two-bedroom townhouse in the Royal Kunia neighborhood.
When I spoke with realtor Thar Covington of Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties, she pointed out the location of the gated community of Kulana Knolls 2 is within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. But this ground-floor corner unit, which was remodeled last year from floor to ceiling, is very peaceful and you can't hear any traffic.
In the kitchen, the owners upgraded with stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops and new cabinetry. New ceiling fans and attractive laminate flooring were installed in the living space, with tile in the kitchen and bathroom.
Just off the kitchen is a large closet that houses a full-size washer and dryer, along with a handy chest freezer for those Costco-sized packages of frozen vegetables and meats.
The vanity in the bathroom also has a granite counter, along with plenty of drawers for stowing supplies and a cabinet for linens.
When the heat cranks up outside, you can sleep comfortably at night – there are A/C units in both bedrooms.
There's a covered lanai and a small gated yard with room for a barbecue grill. For the keiki, right across from the unit is a playground.
Fuzz factor: You can enjoy daily walks with your pooch, pets are allowed.
No worries if your car isn't compact, two full-size stalls are included in the price. Guest parking is also available.
Check out the home for yourself this Sunday at an open house from 2 to 5 p.m. Click here for details.

text: In a move designed to solidify the future of public television in Central Florida, WMFE and the University of Central Florida have reached a preliminary agreement for UCF to purchase Channel 24 from WMFE, cementing WUCF TV's position as the region's PBS affiliate. The agreement is for $3.3 million, with payments made over a multi-year period, and includes the television broadcast license and production, broadcasting and transmission equipment. UCF would not use state or tuition funds to make the purchase. The boards for both UCF and WMFE must approve the purchase agreement prior to it being submitted to the Federal Communications Commission. For economic reasons, WMFE's Board of Trustees voted last year to discontinue its television broadcasting operations, a decision that prompted UCF to partner with Brevard Community College to create WUCF TV, the community's new and only PBS channel. "Should the Board of Trustees approve this agreement, WUCF TV will be able to better serve the community, viewers and students thanks to UCF and PBS sharing educational and community service missions," said Grant J. Heston, associate vice president for Communications and Public Affairs. "The community has embraced WUCF TV during our first year on air and we look forward to the opportunities this new agreement makes possible. "Of course, none of this would be possible without our outstanding partnership with Brevard Community College and we look forward to continuing to work with BCC." The parties agreed to jointly announcing the news so the community understands that management of public television programming will remain local. WMFE had entertained a number of offers, but believed selling Channel 24 to a local organization already invested in PBS better served the community's best interests. "WMFE is committed to continuing its focus on its increasingly popular public radio programming, which includes content from National Public Radio (NPR) as well as to begin significantly expanding its local news coverage," said WMFE President & CEO José A. Fajardo. "WMFE FM 90.7 plans to become the area's local news destination by expanding its news department, reporting teams as well as coverage of the issues that are most important to Central Floridians." Said BCC Associate Vice President for Communications John Glisch: "This new venture has our full support and we are committed to assisting them to ensure a smooth transition. Once the transition is complete, WBCC will continue to offer a wide selection of education programs to Brevard County residents as it has since 1988. "The range of shows will include art and culture, history and military, business and finance, and nature and science. There will also be children's programming and more." If the sale is approved locally, the FCC will then consider the purchase agreement. During that time, WUCF TV will continue normal broadcast operations. The institutions share the goal of making this as seamless a transition as possible for viewers, and will share more information when it is available.

Ever ridden in a glass bottom boat? Awesome. But what about a glass bottom plane? Nope, sorry, not going to happen unless you're a Richard Branson type. But next time you fly Delta, you can at least imagine what that would be like with the airline's new iPad app.
What does it do?
Gives you the basics for a flight app—seat maps, check in, and flight tracker—plus some extra goodies like the glass bottom, which shows you where exactly you're flying, as well as Delta's in-flight magazine.
Why do we like it?
We've all looked out of the window of a plane and thought, hey I wonder what city those lights are coming from? The app will tell you, pointing out specific landmarks and points of interest as you fly over them, with Wikipedia links for more information. You can also see how fast you're going, how far you have to your destination, answering all the little questions that make you antsy in that tiny seat during a flight.

The Cadillac DTS is a full-size luxury vehicle offered as a four-door sedan. "DTS" stands for DeVille Touring Sedan, as the model is the successor to the popular Cadillac DeVille. The DTS was first introduced in 2005 at the Chicago Auto Show and was Cadillac's best-selling model in 2006.
The first DTS models on the market had a relatively powerful 4.6-liter Northstar V-8 with a choice between the LD8 or L37 versions. It was one of the larger vehicles in the brand's line-up, aside from SUVs and crossovers. Early DTS models were closely related to the Buick Lucerne and enjoyed high sales during the line's first couple of years of production. Each model was available in a variety of packages or with individually-chosen accessories. Commonly, package categories were: Luxury I, II, and III, Standard, Luxury, Premium, Performance, and Platinum. The Platinum remains the top-of-the-line package for the 2011 DTS.
When the DTS replaced the DeVille, the primary change was the elimination of the standard six-passenger limousine-style seating. It made the switch from being a car in which to be driven to being a car to drive. The DTS uses a K-platform and has the well-known Northstar V-8 engine, which is a much less powerful engine than that residing in other vehicles in the Cadillac lineup.
The heyday of the DTS was short lived. It enjoyed best-seller status in 2006 and quickly decreased in popularity. The last year the DTS was available (2011) it sold just over 11,000 units worldwide. It is best known as a full-size luxury sedan that was moderately priced compared to its general class and other Cadillac vehicles.
2011 was the last year for production of the Cadillac DTS. Considered the flagship front-wheel-drive, full-size vehicle in the Caddy line-up, even though it was not an overall best-seller after 2006 and it was in the middle of the pack in terms of features and power, the 2011 model features a 4.6-liter Northstar V-8 engine and a highly engineered suspension system. These technological advancements allow the vehicle to provide a smooth ride even on bumpy roads and around corners. Some models also include the innovative Magnetic Ride Control system for improved handling.
The 2011 model, like its predecessors, is a touring vehicle designed to seat six, though five adults will likely fit most comfortably. All models include Adaptive Remote Start. The 2011 DTS is available in a range of trim levels from the Platinum package to the regular, Premium package. Some extra features of the Platinum model include additional power with 292 horsepower, options for premium leather seating, bright chrome details, Alcantara headline and visors, and the highlighted Platinum badge. The basic package for the 2011 DTS model starts around $47,000.
The 2011 Cadillac DTS is the last model of the original DeVille line expected to be produced by Cadillac. While Cadillac has not fully ruled out the possibility of future DTS models, for now the line is being replaced by the 2012 XTS.
The Cadillac DTS was sold between 2005 and 2011, with subtle changes made each model year during that time. The DTS was a single-generation vehicle. Each DTS was available in a number of trim levels that offered additional luxurious options, but for the most part these options were superficial. The DTS-L model, however, featured a longer body. During the DTS's six-year run, the vehicle's engine did not see a huge boost in power, as it went from 275 to 292 horsepower. In fact, torque decreased from the first model to the 2011 model.
2011 Cadillac DTS
Luxury, Sedan
Changes for the 2010 model year consisted entirely of new paint options with minor revisions to the OnStar system the only changes for 2011. The DTS remains pricey considering its age and the competition and exists mostly in a holding pattern until it and the slightly smaller STS can be replaced with the new, flagship XTS premium sedan.
2010 Cadillac DTS
2009 Cadillac DTS
The 2009 Cadillac DTS (DeVille Touring Sedan) is a large luxury sedan.
2008 Cadillac DTS
The 2008 Cadillac DTS serves as the current name for the Cadillac DeVille, an iconic American luxury car that has been around since World War II.
2007 Cadillac DTS
The 2007 Cadillac DTS carries on the decade's long tradition of the DeVille.

Recent research shows that indoor air is often 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, which is why you should keep the air in your home as healthy and clean as possible. Your allergies are aggravated by the pollutants in the air you breathe. The high-performance Austin Allergy Machine Air Purifier not only removes particulate matter like smoke, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, germs, viruses, and pollen, it will even remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that come from such sources as cleaning solutions, carpets, paints, building materials and formaldehyde. Four stages of filtration ensure you are breathing clean air: First is a "large-particle" pre-filter to trap dust, hair, and pet dander; this filter is designed to be vacuumed rather than replaced. Second is a "medium-particle" pre-filter which traps mold, spores, and pollen. The third line of defense is 60 sq ft of medical-grade true HEPA filtration, which removes micro-organisms like bacteria and viruses. Finally, 15 pounds of military-grade activated carbon and zeolite removes chemicals, gasses, and odors. Most air filters sold in stores do not remove gaseous VOCs, and the electrostatic cleaners emit harmful ozone. The machine has four casters for easy mobility; move it from room to room to keep breathing clean air.
Replacement filters are available in White.

Demi Lovato Tweets Support to Miley Cyrus Over Lila's Death
The onetime Disney gals support each other through thick and thin. Losing a furry, four-legged loved one is incredibly hard. Any animal lover will tell you that much. So it's no surprise that 'X Factor' judge and pop diva Demi Lovato tweeted a note of love and support for her pal Miley Cyrus, who mourned the loss of her beloved dog Lila.
Cyrus was so sad about Lila's passing that she even tweeted about not having a reason to get out of bed. Cyrus is a notorious dog lover, often sharing photos of her latest rescue with her millions of Twitter followers. It's clear she is a canine devotee and Lila's passing has hit the singer/actress particularly hard.
The kind-hearted Lovato swooped in to offer her words of love and support to her friend, who is obviously hurting.
Lovato posted:
Everyone please send your love and prayers towards @MileyCyrus. She lost one of her beautiful babies.. RIP Lila.❤
Last year, Cyrus took to Twitter to defend Lovato, saying she would destroy anyone who bullied her pal and called her fat during a rant about the the unfair standards that society places on curvy women. It turned into a Twitter lovefest between the ladies. We're glad to see that they still have each other's backs.
One good tweet turn deserves another.

leadglobally necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 174 diseños de 36 diseñadores freelance.
Center for Global Leadership (CGL) - http://www.LeadGlobally.org
We are a global nonprofit NGO - training, mentoring, and funding our planet's young social entrepreneurs and environmental stewards. We partner with inspired young people, creating a global "ripple effect" to change the way our world works.
We run our programs in places with mountains, rivers, and oceans. Could be woven into the design.
Our ripple effect. A water ripple may make sense in the design.
True North... We try to help young people find their individual and unique path in life. Perhaps a creative version of a compass might work as well.
Primary audience is inspired young people, ages 13 to 25 years of age. Young people who want to make a difference in this world (whether that difference is local or global). These young people love adventure, eco-travel, the environment, eradicating poverty, and helping those in need. We are currently being followed by people from 116 countries.
Secondary audiences are corporate sponsors and global foundations (we are a nonprofit and need their financial support for our work).
Feel... Fast, Fun, Adventure, Inspired, Global, Outdoors, Active, Engaged, Connected, Young.
We do not plan on using "Center for Global Leadership" in the text for the logo.
Logo text will be "CGL". May incorporate "CGL" into the logo itself or logo may be stand-alone next to "CGL".
Logo needs to be clean and simple for embroidery on shirts, jackets, backpacks, tents, etc. In short, easily stitched design is imperative.
Logo will also be used on website, stationary, and print materials.
Logo needs to be equally effective in color and black & white (perhaps only one color). Since the environment is one of our passions, "green" may be an ideal color (probably not extremely dark green.)
Do not want logos with people holding hands around the globe look.
Final product will be both camera-ready vector files (eps) and jpeg.
Just added - additional feedback for designers. I don't want to limit creativity, but I felt like I was giving the same feedback to designers. Perhaps the following will help provide a picture of our organization.
We run our programs in places with mountains, rivers, and oceans. Incorporating those features into design may make sense.
Ripple effect... Water ripple in pond may make sense.
True North... We try to help young people find their individual path in life. Perhaps some version of a compass might work.

Nehalem-EX: A Big Chip For Big Servers
Intel today finally announced its Xeon 7500 series of server chips, known as "Nehalem-EX." This 45nm chip, which includes up to 8 cores and 16 threads, and its accompanying Boxboro chipset platform is designed for the highest-end multiprocessor x86 servers.
For the most part, this chip will compete in a very different market than Intel's Xeon 5600 ("Westmere-EP") or AMD's Opteron 6100 ("Magny-Cours), server chips announced earlier this month. The Xeon 5600 is aimed at single and dual-processor servers, while the Opteron 6100 allows four processors. But both are aimed pretty much at the mainstream server market, while the Xeon 7500 family is really aimed at multiprocessor, high-performance, high-availability servers.
Intel says the 7500 chips and chipsets can scale from 2 to 256 chips per server. It says the new chip has eight times the memory bandwidth and four times the memory capacity of the previous generation (the six-core Intel 7000 family, known as "Dunnington"), allowing up to 1 terabyte of RAM in a four-processor configuration. It also says it has an average performance of three times that earlier chip, but of course, that will vary by application.
The chip is available in four, six, and eight core versions, with the least expensive version being a 1.86 GHz four-core E7520 version with 18 MB of level 3 cache at a list price of $856, and the top end being the 2.26 GHz, eight-core X7560 with 24 MB of cache at a list price of $3692. It's clearly aimed at big servers, and interesting to note that Intel seems to have traded off a bit of clock speed for more cores and larger cache.
What makes this important is that it allows for x86 servers that "scale up" to a huge scale, the type of machines that used to have more proprietary kinds of chips, such as IBM's Power, Sun's Sparc, or even Intel's Itanium. (In contrast, many x86 servers are smaller single and dual-processor systems used in "scale out" applications, such as web servers and e-commerce applications.) This direction indictes that Intel is serious in bringing x86 across the line, even if it means competing with its own chip. Nehalem-EX is basically the last chip in Intel's 45nm "Nehalem" generation. A follow-on, the 32-nm Westmere-EX, is expected about a year from now with 12 physical cores.
I haven't seen too many reviews of this system, but here's an early one from InfoWorld.

I don't care if you've got a flat tire or if your grandmother is in the hospital or if you've broken your right arm. There are no excuses for not voting!
Yesterday morning, a pregnant Chicago-area woman who was in labor stopped by the polls to place her vote on her way to the hospital.
When Galicia Malone, 21, arrived at her polling place, her water had already broken and her contractions were five minutes apart.
This was the first election Galicia was able to vote in and she wanted to set a good example for her soon-to-be born daughter.
"If only all voters showed such determination to vote," Cook County Clerk David Orr told NBC Chicago. "My hat goes off to Galicia for not letting anything get in the way of voting. What a terrific example she is showing for the next generation, especially her new son or daughter."

Accounting Research BULLETINS Issued by the Committee en Accounting Procedure, American Institute of Accountants 270 Madison Avenue, New York 16, N. Y. Copyright 1948 by American Institute of Accountants November, 1948 No. 36 Presentation of Income and Earned Surplus 1. In Accounting Research Bulletins Nos. 28, 31, 32, and 33, two alternative methods of displaying items excluded from the deter-mination of net income are indicated as being acceptable. Under the first of these methods, the excluded items are displayed in the surplus statement; under the second they are shown in the income statement after the amount designated as net income. Since the issuance of those bulletins, charges and credits displayed in accord-ance with the second method have been included in many income statements in a manner and with wording which has occasioned misconceptions as to whether the earnings for the period were the amounts captioned as net income or were the final and more prom-inent amounts shown on the income statements after the deduction or addition of such charges and credits. 2. The committee believes the possibility of misconception in this respect will be minimized by the adoption of the first method in all cases. Accordingly it recommends that the net income for the period be shown henceforth without deductions or additions of items which are properly excluded from the determination of net income. These items consist primarily of charges and credits with respect to (a) general purpose contingency reserves, discussed in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 28, (b) inventory reserves, discussed in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 31, (c) extraordinary items, which, if included, would impair the significance of net income, discussed in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 32, and (d) excessive costs of fixed assets and annual appropriations in con-templation of replacement of productive facilities at higher price levels, discussed in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 33. 3. The committee's recommendation is not intended to preclude or discourage the use of the combined statement of income and earned surplus recommended in Accounting Research Bulletin No. 8, provided the figure of net income is followed immediately by 275
