http://www.airridepickup.com is a new website and brand. Our company builds Air Ride Suspensions like the big semi's use, to go on pickup trucks. Our product is desirable for pickup truck owners that want their pickup to ride smoother and have all the flexibility to haul heavy loads like Semi's can.
Our target audience are people that own Full Size Pickup Trucks. These owners use their truck for work and play. They haul heavy loads, whether it is a big camper, or heavy equipment such as tractors, etc... They are proud of their truck and like to add things to it to make the pickup more useful. Our product sells for several thousand dollars. When someone spends that kind of money it needs to come from a source that is and looks trusting by the quality of their website.

xAP Viewer for iOS
Posted by
on Thursday, September 01 @ 17:06:03 UTC (6260 reads)
xAP Software
Now in the app store.
A simple app but hopefully a useful one:
You can view messages per device with the option to resend.
You can just view the last message received.
See the xAP rate/min.
There is a library of messages for you to simulate, such as display messages and cid, and you can tweak the messages before you send them or just start from blank.
If the device being viewed is a BSC one you can add it to the app's homescreen and use it as a simple control allowing the usual on,off,toggle and dim ( with a nice slider) as well as seeing feedback from the device's state.
I should point out this is native xAP, it doesn't need any server side element, router or anything else. It's iPhone only for now, I will have a look at doing an iPad version later on.

xMonitor test release
Posted by
on Wednesday, June 03 @ 16:00:39 UTC (7468 reads)
xAP Software
A new app to play with. The initial reason for xMonitor was to monitor other xAP devices and to report via BSC and optionally display messages. I then thought I would use the app to demo the use of the xAPIntranet control and ajax, in particular jquery.
The web part of the app now features
A simple live event log updated by ajax polling
A home screen showing all devices including source,class,uid,port and version. This is displayed using tablesorter which gives a nice client side sortable table
Submitting forms by POST as well as GET
Message viewer. Shows a live view of incoming messages. You can filter the view down by selecting from a tree of devices ( treeeview + treeview-async). You can then either view live messages from a device, or review a particular message and resend it or tweak it before resending ( lightbox)
vb6 source code is included. Hopefully this will give some examples or ideas for new apps, whilst being quite a useful app in its own right.

It will output over xAP any detected Bluetooth devices as well as to notify when the devices go out of range. All devices are outputted using the BSC schema so will be easy to use with many apps. In addition you can make it send specific messages when specific devices come and go. It has been tested using a Linksys BT100 USB Bluetooth unit, but it should work with any device using the Microsoft stack, other stacks may work though.
This is a beta release and available

xAP Software
This new update to the xAP chat bot adds a Twitter gateway. The previous version of Four had the ability to post to your Twitter announcements when you arrived home or at work. Now Four can forward display messages to a seperate Twitter account. Why you may ask! In Twitter you can follow other uses and can opt to receive accounts you follow as SMS. So with this you can now get display messages sent to your phone as SMS for free! But thats not all, you can also reply to the text message and talk to Four. You can do anything via text that you could do via the Four web page. Ask for a phone number from switchboard, check the weather, get device status from Floorplan even control Floorplan. There are two catches. Firstly you can only receive 250 SMS per week and secondly you must prepend replys with D<space>TWITTERUSER<space>message

First update in a while, actually quite a while!
The new ocx is a fully compatible update of earlier OCXs so it will work with existing applications.
This update now handles long Getstrings correctly, where they were cut off before. It also has a new MD5 engine as I found under certain circumstances the old method created the wrong hash. This caused issue when using the digest authentication method as it caused failed logons. Also included is support for xAP 1.3

When the Raiders look at the Denver Broncos these days, they feel as if they are looking at old the Indianapolis Colts.
Quarterback Peyton Manning is playing himself, with linebackers Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil playing the roles of Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis.
The Raiders admit that it really doesn't matter how much time anyone has to prepare for Manning. He's going to be a handful, no matter what. Game-planning for Miller and Dumervil isn't any easier, especially on a short week.
"Yeah, they're pretty good, man," Raiders right offensive tackle Khalif Barnes said. "They're kind of like the old Indy. Peyton's older, with a Mathis and Freeney type of deal.
"Von can rush, he can drop back and cover, and Elvis does a good job coming off the edge, too. They do well in their scheme. They do very good at what they do. So, pass blocking those guys is going to be key."
Miller and Dumervil combined for 23 of the Broncos 38 sacks the first 12 games. Barnes and left offensive tackle Jared Veldheer figure to see the dynamic duo most often, though left guard Cooper Carlisle said the Broncos do some things to free up their best playmakers.
"They're both a handful," Carlisle said, "and they both kind of present different problems."
To that end, Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Knapp said it's incumbent upon him to devise ways to help keep Dumervil and Miller from teeing off on quarterback Carson Palmer. The best way is to keep in extra blockers.
"The more things you can show them, the more it helps," Carlisle said. "At the same time, there's times where you're going to have to do it on your own."
— Running backs coach Kelly Skipper said running back Darren McFadden looked sharp in practice Tuesday.
"You could see him cutting, you could see him bursting off the foot," Skipper said. "You wouldn't have noticed today that he had been injured."
Skipper's glowing report is consistent with coach Dennis Allen's expectation of McFadden playing Thursday night for the time in five games.
For his part, McFadden said he is awaiting word from the team's athletic trainers on whether his high-ankle sprain is healed well enough for him to play in a game.
"As long as they say I'm good to go, I'm going to sign off on it," McFadden said.
— Safeties Matt Giordano and Mike Mitchell passed the league-mandated tests for players that suffer concussions. Therefore, they are cleared to play Thursday night.
Backup cornerback and punt returner Phillip Adams missed practice as a result of the concussion he suffered against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, the same game in which Giordano and Mitchell were concussed. He is questionable for the Broncos game.
— Knapp assumed the lead role at practice Tuesday as Allen remains in Texas, where Allen's father Grady passed away Monday night.
Allen is expected to rejoin the Raiders on Wednesday night and coach his team against the Broncos.
Allen spent last season as the Broncos defensive coordinator, working under coach John Fox. During that time, Fox and the other Broncos coaches and players got a chance to meet Grady Allen.
Fox said Allen's father's passing puts things in perspective, with football taking its proper place in the background. He added that he texted Allen to pass along his condolences and to let him know he is thinking about him during this trying time.
"Well, No. 1, first and foremost is, he's in the right place," Fox said. "Sometimes we get a little caught up in what we do for a living and those types of things. But if that was something he would have asked me, I would have said you need to be with your family."
— Defensive tackle Richard Seymour (hamstring) missed practice once again. It seems almost certain that he won't play Thursday night after missing the past four games.
Wide receiver Juron Criner (shoulder), tight end Brandon Myers (shoulder) and Barnes (triceps) were added to the injury report. All three were limited in practice Tuesday.
— The Raiders signed fullback/running back Jamize Olawale from the Dallas Cowboys practice squad and placed him on their 53-man roster.
Olawale fills the void on the active roster created by the two-game suspension of middle linebacker Rolando McClain, who is eligible to return Dec. 10.
Olawale is an undrafted rookie out of North Texas. He played for De La Salle High School his sophomore season before transferring to Long Beach Poly.

In honor of the upcoming Read Across America week, and in honor of some advocacy work I've been doing for my local library, I'm reposting something I wrote a few years ago.
Please support your libraries. And if you feel so inclined, please support mine.
In the beginning was the Word. In her beginnings, there was a book. Her mother told her she could read before she started kindergarten, and she started kindergarten at age four. Each week, she would walk with her grandmother and older sister the nine or ten city blocks to their local branch of the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, a low brick building down a side street.
There, she and her sister would settle in the children's section, while their grandmother browsed through paperback mysteries and Regency romances. She remembers little of that library—windows, low shelves, Ezra Jack Keats' A Snowy Day, and the front desk, where a stereotypically severe-looking librarian stamped their books with a heavy rubber stamp—ka-thunk!
By the time she was in fifth grade, her mother was in graduate school studying to become an elementary school librarian. Long Saturday afternoons were spent in Lockwood Library at the university: Mom at the copier with piles of coins, sister claiming the best of the blocky chairs available. The options were limited. Ride the elevator up and down, up and down. Run out to the vending machines, having first snatched a quarter from her mother's towering pile. Quarter in, press F8, curly-cue swivels around, out pops frosted nut brownie. Or, of course, there were the stacks.
Mostly, she spent time in the stacks. One single row of children's books, books that sported shiny gold Newbery stickers. Somehow she got her hands on a bookmark that listed all the Newbery award winners, and she decided she would read them. Some of her favorite books were Newberies: A Wrinkle in Time, Tuck Everlasting, Bridge to Terabithia, The Westing Game, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH. They were quickly joined by Summer of the Swans, My Side of the Mountain, The Witch of Blackbird Pond, The Great Gilly Hopkins, A Ring of Endless Light.
She remembers, though, mostly spending those afternoons with E.L. Konigsburg. Oh, they weren't on a first-name basis, she and E.L., but nevertheless, she became great friends with Claudia and Jamie, wishing more than anything that she could stay in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, that she could go to an automat (What was an automat, anyway?). She thrilled to the sound of Jennifer, Hecate, Macbeth, William McKinley, and Me, Elizabeth. She gobbled up About the B'nai Bagels, while developing A Proud Taste for Scarlet and Miniver. She even became Father's Arcane Daughter for a while.
Those Saturday afternoons ceased, but she found other libraries to haunt. She could make a dot-to-dot design on a map of the United States of libraries she has frequented over her lifetime. It would undoubtedly look like an open book. Some of those libraries don't exist anymore; some of them have expanded. All of them have been important to her. This one is the one she went to in college, studying with her roommates while wearing large hats (to channel the brain-waves, of course). This one she frequented when she was first married, borrowing books with unlikely plots and even more unlikely heroines. That is the one she walked to with her first baby, borrowing books on child development, as well as board books and movies for cheap date nights.
This library, here, was one of her favorites. She brought her toddler there for story time, but also to see the fish in the fish tank, and to work the puzzles on the table, and to borrow picture books to read to him, and CDs to listen to (a compilation of Robert Louis Stevenson's poems set to music was her favorite). It was there that she returned to her love of children's literature, often grabbing Anne of Green Gables off the shelf to read while her gingerbread boy played quietly. It was here that she realized she liked children's literature better than literature for adults.
Now she frequents her current town library, an old schoolhouse built in the 1800s. It is a place where the librarians not only know her name, they know her library card number. She also volunteers in the elementary school library, where she returns dozens and dozens of books back to their places on the shelves. Sometimes, though, she sees a book that catches her eye, and she sits down right in the stacks, caught up in the pleasure of a book, just like she did when she was in fifth grade. Some things never change.

A rival for GoPro? The freshly-announced Drift HD Ghost (£300, available for pre-order at actioncameras.co.uk) aims to knock other action cams off their perch with its two-way remote (you wear an LED that tells you if the camera is recording or not, and if so in which mode – handy if it's strapped to your head), 2-inch Gorilla Glass screen and built-in Wi-Fi, which works in tandem with an iOS (and later Android) app to let you tweak settings etc. It's also waterproof to 3m and yadda yadda yadda… Office Cat wonders when they'll finally make an action camera able to survive the rigours of a litter tray.

Want to diddle around in Excel on your iPhone? Then get happy: according to reports, Microsoft Office is definitely heading to iOS and will do so from February or March 2013. It'll come as free apps allowing you to view docs, but you'll need to pay an Office 365 subscription if you want to edit them. Oh, and Android users, don't feel too left out: it's supposedly coming to you in May 2013.

Due to being a high-functioning catnip addict, Office Cat doesn't have a huge amount of cash lying around. So he's happy to hear that Aves' new range of DAB+ radios start at the low, low price of £40. The Brit company's eight-strong new range features everything from a radio alarm clock to a sleek piano-black tabletop stereo model.
Musical Fidelity has outed a new set of high-end earbud headph– sorry, in-ear monitors, the EB-50. Priced at a princely £150, they offer a top class construction and are designed to reproduce music as the artist intended. Office Cat doesn't care: no matter how many different earbuds are included in the box, none of them will stay in his lugholes.

The ability to understand people on their own terms and within their own framework is crucial to professional ministers or other "people professionals."
Of course, it would be a mistake to think that only pastors or people within the "caring" professions could benefit from a degree in Theology.

There is much to be learned from every discipline as you set your course in Theological Studies. From archaeological studies, to psychology, languages and even world history, the Student of Theology will come away with a richer, deeper world view as they progress through and complete their course in Theology.
Most importantly, a degree in Theology is durable, and will provide a strong basis on which the progressing student can build his/her theological/ministerial or any other career. Many graduate and post-graduate schools in many different professions welcome the well-rounded and well-educated student of Theology. The skills gained from studying Theology, be they deductive or writing-intensive, will serve the student of Theology for life. With much dedication, the sky is the limit for the student of Theological Studies.

I found this quote on a British Web page, from a Czech blog, I was so struck by its truth I decided to put it on the sidebar of my blog. Obama is a little man, nothing much by himself. But that is what makes him scary, we did this, we the people. Maybe we would have correctly identified a American Hitler or Stalin and rejected them, but this non-entity, this enigma could well end up doing much more damage in the end.
"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama Presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their President. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the Prince of the Fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their President." TWICE!!!

Rapids aim to continue dominance over Chivas
Commerce City, CO – The Colorado Rapids will hope to extend their unbeaten run to five games on Saturday when the club welcomes struggling Chivas USA to Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
The Rapids return home after a 1-1 draw at the San Jose Earthquakes last weekend, while Chivas is winless in its last six matches after a heavy 4-1 home defeat at the hands of Real Salt Lake.
Colorado appeared poised to collect three points at San Jose, but a Marvin Chavez goal 12 minutes from time denied the Rapids.
"It's a good result. Getting a point on the road is always good, especially against a team like San Jose," said Rapids midfielder Nathan Sturgis. "But being up 1-0 late in the game, it's always disappointing to give up that tying goal. We knew we could have had the three points, but there are a lot of positives to take out of a game like this."
The goal that Chavez scored was just the second given up by the Rapids in the last four games, and Colorado will be hoping to collect another clean sheet on Saturday against a Chivas side that has been held scoreless in four of its last six matches.
Chivas has been outscored 11-1 in the last three games, and the confidence of the club has undoubtedly been shaken.
Defender Bobby Burling is anxious to turn the page, and he feels that if the side stays together they will be able to turn things around.
"The last three weeks have not been easy," said Burling. "They've definitely not been what we've worked for in training. Working that hard all week to step out [on the field] and get punished like that is never good. We just have to stick together and go forward. Every team in this league has to go through these spells and the quicker you get out of them the better. We need to just turn this page quickly."
Chivas has not had much success against the Rapids in recent years, posting a 0-7-2 mark against Colorado in the last nine meetings between the two sides.
The last time Chivas beat the Rapids was March 21, 2009, but goalkeeper Dan Kennedy knows it is important not to let the poor run of results carry over into Saturday's match.
"Confidence plays a big role in this, and we need to make sure we still have that, and we don't let these results get our personalities down. We gotta work through this," Kennedy said.

Bezerke - a short film
featuring Russell Bierke presented by O'Neill
O'Neill is proud to present Bezerke, a captivating short film that looks into the life of O'Neill team rider, Russell Bierke.
Russell isn't your average eighteen-year-old Australian kid. He is leading the way for the next generation of big wave surfers. Tracing his love of heavy waves from childhood to the present day, Bezerke showcases the surfing of a levelheaded young man that sees challenge where most only see terror. Bezerke features insight from Russell's father, and also includes scenes from eleven-time world champion Kelly Slater who shared a special session in Southern Australia with Russell when he was fifteen. Bezerke documents Russell's phenomenal Cape Fear event win and his thoughts on the future of big wave surfing.
About Russell Bierke
I was born and lived in Oahu, Hawaii until I was 5, and playing in the ocean off the North Shore hooked me for life. I'm addicted to the ocean and adrenaline rushes, so combining them both as a big wave surfer is my dream job. After graduating high school last year, trying to surf the biggest and heaviest waves I can find is now my main priority. I'm really looking forward to pushing my limits and traveling the world, doing what I love in the next few years.

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT® or the Company)
(NASDAQ: IDTI), the Analog and Digital Company™ delivering essential
mixed-signal semiconductor solutions, today announced results for the
fiscal third quarter ended December 30, 2012.
"We delivered Q3 results within the range of our prior projections
despite continued broad-based weakness in demand," said Dr. Ted
Tewksbury, president and CEO of IDT. "Our bottom line results hit the
midpoint of our prior projections due to reduced operating expenses and
improved product mix. We also generated healthy cash flow from
operations during the quarter, highlighting the resilience of our
operating model in the face of a weak macroeconomic environment."
"Although visibility into near term demand is limited, design win
activity remains strong and we expect top line growth from new product
categories to accelerate in the second half of this calendar year, led
by wireless power and enterprise flash controllers. In addition, we
believe that improvement in our core business and continued operating
expense reductions will enable us to achieve significant operating
margin expansion in fiscal year 2014."
Recent Highlights
IDT recently announced:
The following highlights the Company's financial performance on both a
GAAP and supplemental non-GAAP basis. The Company provides supplemental

including but not limited to statements regarding demand for Company
products, anticipated trends in Company sales, expenses and profits,
involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from current expectations. Risks include,
but are not limited to, global business and economic conditions,

Non-GAAP Reporting
The Company presents non-GAAP financial measures because the investor
community uses non-GAAP results in its analysis and comparison of
historical results and projections of the Company's future operating
results. These non-GAAP results exclude restructuring-related costs,
acquisition and divestiture-related charges, share-based compensation
expense, results from discontinued operations, stockholder expenses and
certain other expenses and benefits. Management uses these non-GAAP
measures to manage and assess the profitability of the business. These
non-GAAP results are also consistent with another way management
internally analyzes IDT's results and may be useful to investor
community. The Company has reconciled non-GAAP results to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures in the financial tables at
the end of this press release.
Reference to these non-GAAP results should be considered in addition to
results that are prepared under general accepted accounting standards in
the United States (GAAP), but should not be considered a substitute for
results that are presented in accordance with GAAP. It should also be

Sanford Heart Hospital in Sioux Falls to Test New Medical Device. Will Dissolve in Your Heart.
Sanford Heart Hospital has announced the start of a clinical trial to study a device which will dissolve in patients with coronary artery disease. The device is called the Absorb™ Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold.
The ABSORB III clinical trial will investigate the safety and effectiveness of the device commonly called BVS. It is manufactured by global health care company Abbott. Absorb™ is a small mesh tube designed to open a blocked heart vessel, restore blood flow and then dissolve into the blood vessel over time.
ABSORB lll is the first US clinical trial to evaluate the potential benefits of the Absorb™ in comparison to a medicated metallic heart stent, also called a drug-eluting stent, in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), the most common form of the disease.
Sanford is one of a few hospital in the region and the country to enroll patients in the trial, which could lead to new treatment options for heart patients.
Below is a portion of the media release from Sanford::
"We proudly offer the latest in technology and treatment options to the people of this region, and this includes unique technologies made available through clinical research," said Tom Stys, MD, medical director of cardiovascular services at Sanford Heart Hospital. "Through research, we hope to find new ways to diagnose, prevent, treat or even cure disease."
CAD is a leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. Patients with CAD can experience symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath when the demand for blood to the heart is more than the heart's ability to supply due to blockages in the vessels. These blockages are caused from a build-up of fat and cholesterol inside the vessel.
Since the 1970s, physicians have treated patients with CAD with balloon angioplasty, metallic and drug eluting metallic stents, allowing many patients to avoid open-heart surgery. Approximately a decade ago, scientists at Abbott started development of Absorb™. Unlike a metallic stent that remains permanently in the body, Absorb is made of polylactide, a naturally dissolvable material commonly used in medical implants such as dissolving sutures.
The ABSORB III clinical trial will enroll approximately 2,250 patients, the majority in the United States. Patients can call (605) 312-2200 to learn more about the clinical trial.

Five billion plastic bottles were sent to landfill sites last year
How much are you recycling? A recent survey by Pledge4Plastics has found that 60 per cent of the UK population don't have an interest in recycling as it has been revealed that five billion plastic bottles were sent to landfill sites in September last year. A third of people thought they recycled to the best of their ability – but only one in six said they intentionally bought items because they were made from recycled materials. Recent figures from the EU statistics office announced that Germany is the most continent recycling leaders at 65 per cent. Britain is on 43.9 p…
EU referendum could boost skip hire sector
We estimate it would take 186 16-yard skips to carry the 46.5 million voting slips Britons are set to fill in today as the polls open for our once-in-a-lifetime EU referendum. While Proskips would hope the voting slips are recycled after the votes have been counted, politicians, business leaders and the media would have you believe the result of today's EU referendum could make or break the UK construction industry. No matter what your views are about Europe, the best-case scenario for the construction industry would be for Britain to remain as a member of the EU. The d…
Landfill Tax Increase - April 2013
So the news from the Chancellor, Mr Gerorge Osborne, on March 20th is that landfill tax will rise by £8 per tonne to £72 from April 1st 2013 and then again by an additional £8 per tonne in April 2014. Lets Recycle have once again produced a very nice summary of information including Defra spending plans and more information on the red tape challenge that the government are proposing. With more skip companies managing to recyle higher and higher quantities of waste why should the landfill tax charge be passed on to the customer? At Proskips we have decided that where poss…


text: A father's tragic death, two sons seeking revenge on their father's killer, a ruthless businessman, a scorned woman, two babies who are switched at birth – fate shatters the foundations of two opposing families when they discover that they intersect in a shocking way. Lee Dong Chul (Song Seung Heon), who witnessed his father's tragic death in a coal mining accident, and his younger brother, Dong Wook (Yun Jung Hoon), have spent their lives seeking revenge on Shin Tae Hwan (Jo Min Ki), the managing director of the coal mining company Taesung Group that they believe was responsible for the tragedy. Although Dong Chul works his way up the Asian mafia and Dong Wook becomes a prosecutor, the brothers remain extremely close and share the singular goal of bringing down Tae Hwan and attacking his business ventures. But their worldview is irrevocably destroyed when they discover that Dong Wook was switched at birth and he is actually Tae Hwan's son. Can Dong Wook continue to prosecute his real father, and how can Dong Chul feel the same way toward the man he thought was his younger brother but is really the son of his enemy? "East of Eden" is a 2008 South Korean drama series directed by So Won Young. It won the Grand Prize and numerous other acting awards at the 2008 MBC Drama Awards.

'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' Unveils First Poster
Coming on the heels of the unfortunate news that author Tom Clancy passed away last night, the first poster for 'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' -- inspired by the character created by Clancy -- has been revealed. The poster for the film, which stars Chris Pine in the Ryan role, prominently features Clancy's name -- seems like a pretty fitting tribute to the late author.
'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' is the latest entry in the Ryan saga of films, which have previously starred actors like Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, and Ben Affleck as the titular hero. Chris Pine plays Ryan this time around in a film directed by Kenneth Branagh ('Thor') from a script by David Koepp.
Today, we get our first look at the poster for the new Jack Ryan film.
Clancy wrote over a dozen stories featuring Ryan, four of which became films: 'The Hunt for Red October,' 'Patriot Games,' 'Clear and Present Danger,' and 'The Sum of All Fears.' Though the films about Ryan have typically followed the hero in a more established capacity, this new film is more of a prequel.
The story follows a younger version of Jack Ryan as he works to uncover a terrorist financial plot. Joining Pine in the film are Keira Knightley, Kevin Costner, Kenneth Branagh, and David Paymer. 'Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit' hits theaters on December 25, 2013.

Sometime within the next two weeks the free-flowing Deepwater Horizon well could surpass the second largest oil spill in history. Indeed, if we assume the highest independently measured estimates of the leak's flow rate, Deepwater Horizon may have already released 84% of the total petroleum that was dumped into the Gulf of Mexico by the Ixtoc I, a similar rig blow-out that occurred in 1979.
One of the highest estimates to date has been made by Mirko Gamba, a post-doctoral researcher at Stanford. Using a computer imagery analysis tool called Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Gamba has measured the parameters of the flow at between 30,000 and 95,000 barrels per day (bpd). At 30,000 bpd it would take approximately 117 days for Deepwater Horizon's total oil release to exceed Ixtoc I. As of Thursday, May 20, 31 days have elapsed. At the upper-limit of Gamba's range, Deepwater Horizon will become the second largest oil spill in history on Wednesday, May 26.
Most independent estimates of the Deepwater Horizon's flow rate are five to nineteen times as large as BP's 5000 bpd estimate. Nevertheless, BP has insisted on this figure, which the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration has used also.
These measurements are so disproportionate, however, that many scientists have voiced concern about BP's refusal to make more data public, as well as the companies restriction of further attempts to gauge the leak's flow rate.
Attached is a simple chart comparing Deepwater Horizon to Ixtoc I and other similar ocean rig blow-outs.
Given that almost one month has elapsed and the well has not been capped, it is likely the leak will continue to flow at high rates until relief wells are successfully drilled. Relief wells typically take weeks or months to finish depending on the depths and conditions confronted. For Deepwater Horizon this process may take another two-three months. Combined with a flow rate that exceeds 20,000 bpd average over this time frame the leak will easily surpass Ixtoc I.
There is a remote probability that Deepwater Horizon could even surpass the 10+ million barrel spill of the Persian Gulf War, still measured as the largest in world history.

Im going with T9 + T8 helmet. IMO it looks nice but its sad that i have to hide it everytime i transform into a moonkin
Im going with T9 + T8 helmet. IMO it looks nice but its sad that i have to hide it everytime i transform into a moonkin
I'll be using T8.5, and I want to get Dreambinder to go over the staff. Ulduar was my absolute favorite and best rading, and i want to always see that. Still searching for a good back to use.
Head - Stealther's Helmet of Second Sight or Cowl of Defiance
Shoulders - Titan-Forged Spaulders of Triumph
Chest - Chestguard of the Conniver
Gloves - Gloves of Dexterous Manipulation
Belt - Vicious Gladiator's Waistband of Accuracy
Legs - Skulker's Greaves
Feet - Boots of the Neverending Path
Tier 10 minus the dress looks pretty boss.
I thought about Transmogrifying and after I spent about an hour putting a set together I scrapped it because nobody would ever see it, for showing off the latest elite gladiator gear is always the way to go, atleast in my eyes, the fact that s3 gear looked good on druids does still tingle my mind, but the only thing I "MIGHT" transmog is my staff into that algalon branch, it just looks so badass with the gladiator gear, + I preety much loved the s10 elite gear ( I can't say I didn't like S9 elite, but the s10 fits in perfect with ruthless drake ) so if I do get glad this season, I'm almost certain I'd be wearing my ruthless elite gear transmoged onto s11 gear, I don't know for certain though I have to dwell on it but honestly the wrathfull gear looked quite amazing, I guess it all boils down to mood, I'll have all the sets around shall I need them.
But the real question lies within- Is there really a point in transmogrifying when my cat looks the same anyway?
I really like the look of the T11 H shoulders, and I never show helm atm because none of them really suit IMO. I had show helm on for T8, since it was just a little crescent, but not for anything else. The antlers and feathers totally give off a Malfurion vibe, which is great.
I was disappointed that T12 chest wasn't a robe (even though it says "Robe" in the tooltip ), so I was determined to make my transmog chest a robe. It was a toss-up between S9 and T10, and I chose S9 because the purple bits went well with the NElf skin and hair.
I'm not 100% sold on the belt though; It looks decent enough in-game, but in the screenshot there it really stands out. The diamond matches the shoulders, and the brown edging matches the brown elsewhere, but its lack of muted green stands out a bit. I might find something else for that slot.
I agree that I'm less excited to transmog my druid than some of my other classes. But, I think I may use recolored T2 as my base.
Has some nice stuff in their 'stylish leather' page. I might find one of the various wolf helms to go with the ghostwalker set.
Or I might just go with having nothing transmogrified except my helm, which will get turned into a purple stylin hat
I tanked almost a whole expansion with that hat...
Shame the diamond tipped cane isn't a viable transmog target
T4 is a great set, no doubt about it. I personally thing a lot of the original ZG gear is great. I know when I was raiding I had my eye on the snake staff for quite a long time, along with the rep pieces you could get. The leather v-cut top with no sides looked great on my NE druid.
Just a question, might be a stupid one but well. Druids will probably the only class that has practically ZERO benefit from Transmog, or am I wrong. When we raid we do it in different forms ( big bear butt, pink kitty, some ugly crossbreed and a tree ) so only time we don't people can admire our cool looking pixels is when we run in some city showing off, thus Transmog for druids id least appealing. So will there be some nice glyph that will let resto or balance druids keep buffs like they are in a form but looking like they are put of form....?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Seven Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies from an anti-gang unit have been notified that the department intends to fire them for being members of a secret law enforcement clique that allegedly encouraged unethical conduct.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Wednesday the deputies were sent the letters this week after an internal investigation of their activities as members of a group called the Jump Out Boys.
The deputies were members of the Sheriff's Gang Enforcement Team.
Law enforcement officials say the concern was that the group, with its matching tattoos and a creed seemingly promoting shootings, violated the department's core values.
All seven were placed on paid leave during the probe. Investigators found no evidence of criminal behavior.

I would like to know if I buy ground beef and the sell by date is Feb.9 is it still ok to eat? It has been in the refidgerator,
The sell date on a package is a voluntary mark that indicates the last date perishables should be sold to ensure top quality. Retailers may take into account that the product may be stored at home after the sell-by date, but it can vary by store. The color, odor and appearance of the meat will give you clues as to whether it has spoiled. Another type of date on packages is the "Use By" date. It is another voluntary phrase that indicates the last day a manufacturer believes a product will be at its peak of quality. The product may still be edible after that date. The "Best If Used By" date tells consumers how long the product will retain its best flavor or quality, as determined by the manufacturer. The phrase is generally found on shelf-stable products which pose no health risks if consumed well after the date.

My adaptation of the French Fridays with Dorie Cocoa Sablés was inspired by Mexican Hot Chocolate. I added some espresso powder to the dough and then made a sugar-cinnamon-chili mixture to coat the cookies with before baking. I was up at 4:30 a.m. this morning baking these, due to a certain puppy who wouldn't go back to sleep, so I appreciated having a little extra zip from the espresso and spice to enjoy with my coffee.
Mexican Hot Chocolate Sablés
Adapted from Dorie Greenspans's Cocoa Sables, Around My French Table
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I used Scharffen Berger natural unsweetened)
1 tablespoon espresso powder
10 ounces unsalted butter (2 ½ sticks), at room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I use Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract)
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
Cookie Coating
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, to taste
1. Sift the flour, cocoa powder and espresso powder together in a medium bowl. Put the butter in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat at medium speed until the butter is soft and creamy. Add the sugar, salt and vanilla extract and beat for another 1 or 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the sifted dry ingredients in three additions. Mix only until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Mix in the chopped chocolate. Work the dough as little as possible for the best texture.
2. Turn the dough out onto a smooth work surface and divide in half. Working with one half at a time, shape the dough into a log that is about 2 inches in diameter. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and chill them for at least 3 hours. (Wrapped airtight, the logs can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for 1 month.)
3. Mix together the sugar, cinnamon and chili powder coating and set aside.
4. Center a rack in the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
5. Working with a sharp, thin-bladed knife, slice the dough into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Gently submerge each dough round in the mixture of sugar, cinnamon and chili powder, turning over a few times until fully coated. Place cookies on prepared baking sheets, leaving an inch of space between them. Bake only one sheet at a time. Keep the second baking sheet of cookies in the refrigerator until ready to bake. Bake cookies for about 15 minutes, until slightly firm to the touch. Transfer the sheet to a cooling rack and let the cookies rest, on the sheet, for about 5 minutes. Newf Note: If the cookies spread a bit, and the edges look ragged, use the appropriate sized round cookie cutter to cut away the edges and even them out while still warm.
6. Gently transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Repeat with the second sheet of cookies. Baked cookies will stay fresh in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
|I'll polish off these, with a spot of port, tonight ;-)
French Fridays with Dorie is an online cooking group, dedicated to Dorie Greenspan's newest book Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours. As members of the group, we have purchased the cookbook and cook along as much as we can. There is a new recipe each week, and we post about that recipe on Friday. We are asked to refrain from posting the actual recipes on our blog. The book is filled with stunning photography, and personal stories about each recipe, which makes it that much more intriguing. I highly recommend adding it to your cookbook collection if you haven't already!

Integrase Inhibitor '572 Tested Against Raltegravir-Resistant HIV
October 25, 2010
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has licensed an anti-HIV integrase inhibitor discovered by the Shionogi Corporation in Japan. Because of these arrangements, this drug has the complex code name S/GSK1349572 and for now is increasingly referred to simply as '572 by researchers.
In lab experiments '572 has activity against HIV that is resistant to raltegravir, the only currently approved integrase inhibitor.
Researchers tested '572 in HIV-positive volunteers who had HIV that was resistant to raltegravir. Participants either substituted '572 in place of raltegravir or started taking '572 if they had already quit raltegravir. All participants had HIV that was also resistant to drugs from the three commonly used groups of anti-HIV medicines:
For the first 11 days of the study, participants received 50 mg once daily of '572 and no other drugs. After this period they also received an optimized background regimen based on resistance testing and medical history. This study is called Viking and so far only results from the first 11 days have been released.
The average profile of the 27 participants enrolled at the start of the study was as follows:
Examples of prior ART used included these drugs, which were used by the following proportion of participants:
That most of these potent drugs were commonly used suggests that the study group represented heavily pre-treated patients.
After 11 days, 21 out of 27 participants (78%) had their viral load fall to 400 copies/ml or less or had their viral load fall by 0.7 log.
Side Effects
Participants in this study had weak immune systems and sometimes it is difficult to separate drug side effects from symptoms of HIV disease in this population. Despite this, investigators determined that the following side effects were caused by '572:
Two participants had severely elevated levels of pancreatic enzymes; it is not yet certain if this is due to exposure to '572. However, no serious or life-threatening complications occurred after exposure to '572.
Long-term results from Viking are needed to assess the benefit of '572 in raltegravir-resistant people.
