Q:What's the after sales policy of Holley?
A:Holley warrants that main parts of new massage bathtubs, bathroom furniture and steam rooms, such as acrylic body, faucet/taps, computerized control unit, TV, pumps, basin, LED lamp, hinge, rail, and handles, aluminum profiles, steamers, to be free from identified quality problems for a period of 24 months dating from the shipment date as commercial invoice shows. Besides, Holley also gives a certain discount on vulnerable and consumable parts as a way of after-sales subsidies when our customers purchase new massage bathtubs and steam rooms. As for the common bathtubs, shower rooms, ceramic wares, cabinets and other accessories, Holley give those products a warranty period f eighteen months dating from the commercial invoice shows. Holley also provides free and in time technical support for every user.
Q:How is the safety performance of Holley's products?
A:Holley's researchers and technicians thoughtfully take it into consideration when they develop new products. Firstly, as far as the partial components are concerned, the output voltage of all electrical parts is at a safe degree of 12V, but not at a risky level of 220V. Besides, many intelligent and sensitive parts used on our products, such as the water level detector, temperature sensor, thermostatic device and alarm system, etc, considerately enable you to enjoy fun of massage and shower totally relaxed. Secondly, as far as the safety tests are concerned, our products proudly passed the testing report of EN12764, EN14428, EN15200, EMC, and LVD. We also smoothly acquired the CE certificate, ETL certificate and ISO9001:2000 verification. Those certificates and testing reports, on one aspect, embody the high safety levels of Holley products.
Q:What's the normal delivery time/lead time of products of Holley?
A:The normal delivery time is 25-35 workdays.
Q:What are the possible causes of leaking problem on faucets?
A:There are mainly three possible causes. One is the bad water quality. Too many impurities will block the cartridge of faucets. The second cause is that ceramic core of faucet is damaged somehow. The third cause is the incorrect installation of faucets. It is advised to check the above possible causes when you encounter the leaking problem.
Q:Why is sometimes water hard to come into water tank and flush?
A:Three causes may lead to this problem. Firstly, the water inlet switch is not turned on. Secondly, the float of inlet valve is stuck. Thirdly, the filter net is blocked. Please check the above factors one by one and find ways to solve it.
Q:Sometimes, there is a small amount of water coming out from waterfall or sprinkler, how to solve it?
A:Probably the one-way valve controlling the shower and waterfall is damaged. Replace it with a new one, water leaks no more.
Q:How does the pipeline-washing function work?
A:The complicated structure of tubs makes it very difficult to clean pipes and pumps manually. Holley considers of this and firstly applied the pipeline-washing function on massage bathtubs. After enjoying the massage, please switch to pipeline-washing on conversational switch, then the water will come into different pipes and wash them automatically. This function could effectively remove the dirt and dust inside pipes, avoiding the bacteria growing.
Q:Sometime the control panel of steam room displays E1, E2, E3, and E5. What do they tell?
A:Functions, such as hand shower, overhead shower, backside sprayer and steamer, are intelligently controlled by the electrical cabinet used. If there is any failure or problem on above functions, the cabinet will diagnose it and show it on control panel. Every "E" error stands for a given function-failure coming from different parts. Please refer to Trouble and Shooting in user manuals and repair respectively.
Q:Is the acrylic body of bathtub too thin to get damaged easily?
A:No, definitely not. Holley purchases high quality materials from one of the best acrylic supplier in China. The acrylic we are using is 4mm in thickness, after coated and fixed by glass fibers, the thickness is about 6mm in average. It is even 6-8mm in thickness in some places such as the tub edges and bottom. What's more, the unique physical features make the acrylic material possibly enduring high temperature and wearing. If well maintained, the acrylic tub could get an expectancy of above 15 years.
Q:What is intelligent water-control on massage bathtubs?
A:The intelligent water-control is accomplished by a tiny sensitive metal probe on tub. When water in tub reaches the probe level, the water pump will start to work and if water exceeds the probe level, the waterfall will stop water inlet. The water pump doesn't start to work unless water reaches or exceeds the probe level. In brief, the intelligent water control is aiming to protect the water pump from working overheated and keep you out of the worry that water may overflow outside the bathtub.
Q:What products does your company sell?
A:Our products include massage bathtub,common bathtub,steam room,shower room,shower pannel,bathroom cabinet etc.

Reading what people have written about splendid Texans defensive end J.J. Watt from last night's Patriots romp, you'd think New England's line squashed Watt. "Kudos to Dante Scarnecchia and the New England offensive line for keeping Brady so clean," Peter King tweeted. "Texans standout defensive end J.J. Watt, who was pretty much invisible otherwise, forced a fumble," wrote the Associated Press. What game were they watching? New England excelled at many things last night. They did not, however, shut down J.J. Watt.
The Patriots kept Watt off the stat sheet—the fumble he did force wound up a Patriots touchdown—but that was all they did. Watt punished the Patriots' line and, by extension, Brady. The Patriots played Watt one-on-one too often, and he knocked Brady down five times on 35 dropbacks. He played very well.
And a J.J. Watt knockdown is no trivial thing. Watt weighs 295 pounds. That's Terrell Suggs with 30 pounds of extra muscle. Football Outsiders' Aaron Schatz, the football media's rare avowed Patriots fan, tweeted last night that Brady might finish the game with six touchdowns and six broken limbs. Quarterback hits add up. We thought the Patriots, and the writers, knew this.

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included. Ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications only as recommended by your doctor, and according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
Medications may help to either prevent or reduce side effects of treatment, or to manage certain side effects once they occur. You can develop side effects from the treatment and/or from the cancer itself. Tell your doctor when you notice a new symptom, and ask them if any of these medications are appropriate for you.
Prescription Medications
- Prochlorperazine
- Ondansetron
- Granisetron
- Metoclopramide
- Dexamethasone
- Prednisone
- Hydrocodone
- Morphine
- Oxycodone and acetaminophen
- Filgrastim
- Epoetin
Over-the-Counter Medications
Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
- Ibuprofen
- Naproxen
Prescription Medications
Common names include:
- Prochlorperazine
- Ondansetron
- Granisetron
- Metoclopramide
Antiemetics are given to help treat nausea and vomiting that may be caused by chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery to treat cancer. Prochlorperazine can be taken by mouth, injection, or a suppository. Ondansetron and granisetron can be taken orally or as injections. Metoclopramide is usually given by injection.
Side effects may include:
For prochlorperazine:
- Blurred vision, change in color vision, or difficulty seeing at night
- Fainting
- Loss of balance
- Restlessness or need to keep moving
- Shuffling walk
- Stiffness of arms or legs
- Trembling and shaking of hands and fingers
For odansetron:
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Headache
For granisetron:
- Abdominal pain
- Constipation
- Diarrhea
- Headache
- Unusual tiredness or weakness
For metoclopramide:
- Diarrhea (with high doses)
- Drowsiness
- Restlessness
- Increased risk of tardive dyskinesia (a serious neurological condition) in those who take metoclopramide for longer than 3 months
Common names include:
- Dexamethasone
- Prednisone
Corticosteroids help to minimize inflammation and to relieve pain due to inflammation. You may experience pain and inflammation for a variety of reasons, such as:
- Bone pain from cancer that has spread to your bones
- Edema (fluid build up in cells) caused by tumors or treatment
Common side effects include:
- Increased appetite
- Indigestion
- Nervousness or restlessness
Common names include:
- Hydrocodone
- Morphine
- Oxycodone and acetaminophen
Opioids act on the central nervous system to relieve pain. These drugs can be very effective however they must be used with great caution because they can be mentally and/or physically addicting. If you are going to take one of these drugs for a long period of time, your doctor will closely monitor you.
An opioid analgesic and acetaminophen used together may provide better pain relief than either medication used alone. In some cases, lower doses of each medication may achieve pain relief.
The most common side effects of opioids include:
- Lightheadedness or feeling faint
- Drowsiness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Severe constipation
Common names include:
- Filgrastim
- Epoetin
During cancer treatment, blood cells can be destroyed along with cancer cells. Filgrastim helps your bone marrow make new white blood cells. White blood cells help your body fight infection. Therefore, filgrastim helps to reduce your risk of infection.
Epoetin helps your bone marrow to make new red blood cells. Low red blood cell levels can lead to anemia. Therefore, epoetin helps reduce your risk of anemia. Epoetin is quite effective, but it has a two-week delay between the injection and when your red blood cell count really starts to come back. It is not used as a "quick fix" for a low red blood cell count; a blood transfusion is usually performed if you need to recover your red blood cell count more quickly.
Both filgrastim and epoetin are given by injection in your doctor's office.
Common side effects include:
For filgrastim:
- Headache
- Pain in arms or legs
- Pain in joints or muscles
- Pain in lower back or pelvis
- Skin rash or itching
For epoetin:
- Cough, sneezing, or sore throat
- Fever
- Swelling of face, fingers, ankles, feet, or lower legs
- Weight gain
Over-the-Counter Medications
Common names include:
- Ibuprofen
- Naproxen
NSAIDs are used to relieve pain and inflammation. You may experience pain and inflammation for a variety of reasons, such as:
- Bone pain from cancer that has spread to your bones
- Edema (fluid build up in cells) caused by tumors or treatment
Common side effects include:
- Stomach cramps, pain, or discomfort
- Drowsiness or lightheadedness
- Headache
- Heartburn, indigestion, nausea, or vomiting
Special Considerations
If you are taking medications, follow these general guidelines:
- Take the medication as directed. Do not change the amount or the schedule.
- Ask what side effects could occur. Report them to your doctor.
- Talk to your doctor before you stop taking any prescription medication.
- Plan ahead for refills if you need them.
- Do not share your prescription medication with anyone.
- Medications can be dangerous when mixed. Talk to your doctor if you are taking more than one medication, including over-the-counter products and supplements.

U.S. Republicans pressure Obama to step
up action against ISIS
Send a link to a friend
[August 25, 2014]
By David Morgan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republicans on
Sunday called for more aggressive U.S. action to defeat Islamic State
militants in Syria and Iraq, accusing President Barack Obama of policies
that have failed to thwart potential new threats on U.S. soil.
Representative Mike Rogers, Republican chairman of the House of
Representative Intelligence Committee, urged the administration to
work with Arab partners on robust steps to disrupt the operations of
the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). He said the group is
drawing support from Europeans and Americans who could travel
undetected to Western countries to carry out attacks.
"They are one plane ticket away from U.S. shores," Rogers said on
NBC's "Meet the Press" program.
"We have the capability to defeat (ISIS). We now have to have the
political will and we have to have the policy to do it. We have the
first. We don't have the second two."
Rogers and other Republicans including Senator John McCain have been
relentlessly critical of Obama's security policy, including
accusations that the president has shown a lack of leadership
against terrorism since ordering the military operation that killed
al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in 2011.
But a leading Senate Democrat cautioned against overstating the
dangers ISIS could pose to the United States.
"I don't think we can simply dismiss them. But to jump from what
they have done, which is horrific ... to the assumption that they're
going to be an immediate, and within days, a threat to us here in
our homeland, I think you don't jump to that," said Senator Jack
Reed of Rhode Island.
"The proper strategy is a comprehensive strategy, and its foundation
is political, not just military," he added.
U.S. officials have identified ISIS as a major threat since it
emerged from Syria's civil war and swept into Iraq this summer.
Obama has ordered limited air strikes against the group in northern
Iraq. But alarm raised by the beheading of U.S. journalist James
Foley has been followed by calls for action to defeat ISIS,
including attacks on its operations in Syria. Officials have not
ruled out escalating military action.
[to top of second column]
"The president has to articulate the challenge, what we need to do
to meet it and describe exactly to Congress what those missions are.
And unfortunately, so far, he seems to be strangely detached,"
McCain told Fox News on Sunday.
"I am heartbroken about what has happened to the Syrian people and a
lot of that is due to our total inaction, and that's going to be one
of the more shameful chapters in American history."
Rogers blamed Obama for a change in policy that he said has
inhibited the ability of U.S. intelligence and defense agencies to
"disrupt" ISIS operations and other militant groups overseas.
"We have missed dozens and dozens of opportunities to take really
bad people off the battlefield," he said. "This is an opportunity
for the president to take a step back, change his presidential
guidance on how we disrupt terrorism around the world."

On tax day, here's some news that will make your blood boil – Citizens for Tax Justice re-released its report about Fortune 500s federal tax payments from 2008 through 2010, adding new information for 2011. One of our NC based companies – Duke Energy – paid a net federal tax bill of negative 3.5% for those years.
Duke Energy just received a big fat rate increase, is looking for another one this year and would love for the legislature to give them the ability to get even more money out of ratepayers to pre-fund nuclear power plants – plants that even Wall Street won't invest in.
The report also shows that if companies actually paid the 35% corporate tax rate, it could help reduce the nation's deficit. If the Fortune 500s had paid the full 35% corporate tax rate between 2008 and 2011, we'd have $78.3 billion more in federal tax income.
Thanks to NC WARN for bringing this report to my attention.

How Firefox OS Could Sneak Into the Smartphone Chicken Coop
Jul 26, 2013 5:00 AM PT
Spanish wireless network Telefónica recently started selling a super-cheap Linux-driven phone called the "ZTE Open". It's selling in Spain for the equivalent of around US$90, which includes about $40 worth of prepay.
Essentially, it's a $50 smartphone.
Aside from the bottom-end retail price, what's unique about this smartphone is that it's the first to use Firefox OS.
The HTML5 Difference
Like Android, the Firefox OS mobile operating system is based on Linux. A highly adaptable markup language called HTML5, however, is its biggest differentiating feature.
Without getting too technical, HTML5 can be highly suitable for use across screens and consequently across devices, partly because it has scalable vector graphics. It is also multimedia-friendly, handles cross-browser errors well and doesn't need plug-ins.
Herein, arguably, lies Firefox OS's potential killer advantage: It's a predominantly HTML5-developed ecosystem.
For anyone choosing to develop in HTML5, it becomes one-language-cheap-and-easy to simply shunt an app over to Firefox's marketplace -- even if Firefox OS is a minor player that wouldn't ordinarily get a look-in.
Equally important for Firefox Marketplace, the apps stay updated because it's easy -- the developer is already updating for other platforms anyway.
Open Web Apps
In addition to the simplicity of HTML-based Firefox OS and its Open Web Apps -- with its single, common, technology stack that also includes commonly known CSS and Javascript -- Firefox may have other advantages too. Namely, there are some key philosophical differences between it and the other mobile OS players.
First, there's a conscious effort to sell the Open Web Apps mobile platform to developers as a freedom-loving concept: There's no vendor-controlled ecosystem like Apple's App Store involved, and Mozilla, Firefox's parent, is keen for developers to know that they can use their own website or other store to sell the apps.
Mozilla is also pitching its 450 million desktop users as a potential customer base. Remember, the technology is scalable across screen resolutions.
The Price Advantage
Could Firefox OS beat out Android?
Further clues may be in Spain -- possibly in Telefónica's offices. Spain is suffering economically, with unemployment reaching perilous heights. It's no coincidence that cut-price Firefox OS isn't going head-to-head with expensive Android devices in better-off economies instead.
Factor in cheap hardware with cheap-to-make and plentiful apps and a dodgy economy, and Mozilla may be on to something.

As they accumulate their "10,000 hours" of caring for patients or examining the health system, health care providers and researchers often come up with great ideas on how the system could be improved. The advent of digital technologies and mobile apps has helped to tear down the barriers to introducing these newly devised solutions and created opportunities for a new breed of medical entrepreneurs. You may want to build an app that will help you get critical information to your patients because you know this is why they are having trouble staying healthy. Or perhaps you want to empower them to manage their own health care by tracking aspects of their health. Or maybe you have an idea that could allow physicians to do simple diagnostic tests at the bedside using smartphones.
At the beginning of 2018, there were almost 100,000 health apps on the Apple iOS App Store and Google Play. Health and fitness apps are cited to have the highest user retention rates, engagement, and frequency of use ...continue reading

Great! Good luck Jenny!!
Good on ya Jenny. I'll be watching and following your progress from "Down Under". Go girl
on an aside, has Simon Pavey changed his nationality? He is an Aussie IIRC
That is true, however, he does have UK residency (and Australia being a colony, sorry I mean 'commonwealth country'... an ikkle biddy Union Jack on his national flag too of course)... but yes, technically he is still an antipod'
So that's two British riders, and one adopted one x
Holy shit!
That is awesome. Congrats and good luck. You will have an astounding finish, no doubt.
Question though:
How much is this going to cost you from start to finish as a grand total?
I always read your adventure stuff, It'll be winter soon here, and i am ready, I love it!! . be careful and gogogo girl....
That's Awesome!
Best wishes to you...I'll definitely be cheering for you and following your results!
btw....since I met you briefly at the scrub in Florida last year can I say that you're my friend the Dakar racer?
Rock On girl!!
(p.s. I was the dumb guy with the big beard and red v-strom)
Go JennyMo! Can't wait to see all the updates. Love following your threads and can't wait to see this one to the end.
Good luck!
GOOOOOOOOOO, JennyMo!!
Jim, Jenny's a pro at RallyRAIDio. http://www.rallyraidio.net/category/HeroesLegend (among others)
Can't wait for this installment!
All the best to you and your effort from The Snortn Boar Racing Crew!
Jenny, thats a pretty cool letter. Thanks for showing it off to us slobs!!! Did you ever sell the Tenere?
very impressive and the best of luck to you!
Congrats on your registration. T-shirts and stickers would be a great idea. Also, I've always loved the way Jonah has accepted donations to get your name on his bike.
In terms of Paypal, it is such an easy way for people to contribute, that it would probably be worth your while to accept the fees as a cost of doing business and hope for an increased number of transactions to offset the transaction fees.
Good luck!
That is awesome!
Keep us posted with the progress on both sponsorship and the bike itself please
right on J Mo !!!!
Congrat from Hungary for this nice letter!
Just print the T-SHIRTs, I will upgrade my collection with it!
Have you got a mustache man yet? They seem to be importante. Ask Coma.
I´m really looking forward to next dakar, and with you competing even more.
Hi Barton - yes, I was thinking of doing something similar - perhaps on the rear fender - and then auction it off at the end of the rally too as a pukka piece of memorabilia?
And I'll look into Paypal more closely, as I agree it is probably the simplest way - my concern is that they will block the account if they start getting too many similar payments, or it goes over a certain amount they want you to upgrade it to a business account...
J x
Sweet. A fender on the wall may not be my wife's taste, but I'm all over it.
Regarding Paypal, is there anyway you could spin this effort into a charitable effort that could see you take advantage of some tax breaks and service-fee breaks?
Raffle tickets and winner keeps the bike ? I bet you could pay that bike off and a chunk of some other expenses. I for one would throw down a couple of hundred bucks for one of those tickets. Just a suggestion, would certainly get you some of that cash your looking for


text: Share: September 26, 2010 Environmental Policy, Green Economy Thanks to the efforts of committed environmental groups, government organizations and individuals, the Hudson Valley is poised to position itself as a model for melding environmental and economic interests.This summer, while many of us were enjoying the great outdoors, two high-level planning efforts were completed with little fanfare. Their goal: to envision the best future for the Hudson River Valley. I was fortunate to be a part of both efforts; their implementation would bode well for our region's health, ecologically and economically.In June, six task-force committees delivered their final reports to the Hudson Valley Quadricentennial Commission. One report outlined how the valley's cultural and educational resources could be harnessed to support a vibrant future economy.Committee members built a vision that would make the mid-Hudson region the "Silicon Valley of the East," with educational institutions, historical landmarks, parks, and green industries as its anchors. Destination travel to enjoy heritage sites, pastoral landscapes and food may provide an important economic basis for our region.And food is important. Various subcommittees submitted visions for the best land-use planning in the Hudson River Valley, which might capitalize on our ability to supply local, community-supported agricultural products to a growing market demand for them. Preserving farmlands for food products in a vibrant economy emerged as a major tenet for preserving the Hudson River landscape as we know it.Serendipitously, the Quadricentennial reports were compiled just in time for a visit by high-level officials from the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Interior and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, who came to Dutchess County as part of President Barack Obama's "Listening Tour" of America. Beginning at a White House conference in April, the "America's Great Outdoors Initiative" has taken government officials to 25 sites to identify grassroots solutions to conserving land and waters and reconnecting Americans to the outdoors. The timing was perfect — as if the Quadricentennial Commission had been planning its report in anticipation of the Listening Tour.The August meeting of the listening tour at the Wallace Center in Hyde Park highlighted important youth interest and youth initiatives organized by the environmental group, Clearwater (Hudson River Sloop Clearwater). Other environmental organizations, including Scenic Hudson, Riverkeeper and the Cary Institute, also provided input.Sasha Spector of Scenic Hudson spoke of the need to preserve what remains of the biological diversity of the Hudson River. And I was able to stress the importance of watershed-scale land planning efforts — to recognize that the quality of Hudson River waters begins in the small streams that drain fields and forests throughout the valley.Timing is crucial. Without proper land-use plans that take the needs of people and nature into account, we stand to lose much of what makes the Hudson River Valley so special. Unbridled development and suburban sprawl will maximize the loss of rural landscape and its regional heritage, while making it increasingly difficult to develop efficient public transportation systems that minimize the loss of land to pavement.All the planning in the world will be of no use unless the citizens of the mid-Hudson region expect and empower their elected officials to implement plans that move us in the right direction — toward sustainable communities that provide good jobs, health care, clean air and water and preservation of the cultural and environmental heritage that make the Hudson River Valley so attractive to its citizens.

Story of the Oilers: Hanging out, hands in pockets, shirts not tucked in, goals against
Edmonton Oilers give up goals where they're all just hanging out in the Red Light Zone
As this lost season drags on, and even the ice grows tired of the Edmonton Oilers skating on it, I'm noticing more goals against where the entire Oilers team just doesn't look sharp. They're all a beat behind the play, not quite ready, not quite alert, not at all intense.
Sheldon Souray is the biggest culprit in recent games when it comes to this malady. Perhaps this isn't surprising. The veteran has said he wants to be traded. Numerous commentators say he should be traded, though most doubt the Oilers can find a trading partner. But one foot is out the door, and the other foot seems stuck in cement some of the time as teams beat him to pucks that last season he would have swallowed up and got moving in the other direction.
For instance, on San Jose's third goal, the sequence of inevitablity started with a San Jose dump-in. Both Souray and Tom Gilbert got beat to the puck, then Joe Pavelski beat Souray around the net, then various San Jose players beat various Oilers in front of the net before the puck was banged in.
On that play most of the Oilers were living in the Red Light Zone, that space in the defensive end where you're not covering the man with the puck and not covering anyone else.
This is not a promising trend. Bad habits are difficult to change.

This article was reported by Jerusalem Post.
The Jerusalem Post reported that after an infant died of HIV a few weeks ago, Israel's Health Ministry has recommended that all pregnant women in the country get tested for HIV. The Ministry has been hesitant to recommend mandatory testing in the past, citing few cases of HIV in pregnant women in the country and the expense of testing. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended testing of all pregnant women for some time now.
Every year in Israel, several infants are born with HIV to women who do not know they carry the infection. Pregnant women who carry HIV can take a drug "cocktail" in pregnancy to prevent passing the infection to their newborns during birth as well as while breastfeeding. The treatment has a very high success rate. The recent infant death, which occurred at Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem, was to a woman who was unaware she was infected with HIV.
The HIV testing policy, until now, has been an optional choice and directed mostly at high-risk women, which included prostitutes, drug users, and women from countries where HIV is widespread. According to Dr. Daniel Elbirt, a senior physician at Kaplan Medical Center's AIDS center in Rehovot, many women in these categories decline to take the test because of the stigma associated with HIV. Elbirt argues that if HIV testing was mandatory for all women, the stigma would be removed. He also said that the cost of the HIV test, which is relatively inexpensive, will pay for itself by preventing HIV in even a handful of newborns.

No Gods, No Masters - Part 3
When you finally enter the outskirts of The Legate's Camp, you'll find yourself under assault from the elite Legion guards that you may have fought before, enemies known as Praetorian Guards. These guys tend to fight with their fists, so you should be able to easily draw them towards you while firing endlessly on them. Chances are, they'll perish before they even reach you, but if they reach you in one piece, continue to clobber them manually or in VATS while you back up. Though unarmed, their fists do a lot of damage with the special knuckles they wear. Be sure you draw out as many enemies from within and around the camp before entering it, which will only make your life much, much easier later on.
Once inside the camp, you'll draw out more foes. In addition to melee-enabled Praetorian Guards, you'll also start running into weaker enemies that will draw firearms on you. The good news is that these weaker enemies will fall easier, because their armor is weaker and they have less hit points. On the flipside, however, you'll still have to deal with their ability to fire on you from afar, which makes things a little stickier. Keep in mind something very important before confronting the leader of the Legion forces here at the back end of the camp, however. Be absolutely certain you kill all enemies around you in the camp. Their numbers should be thin (they dispatched most of their soldiers to assault the dam, after all). But being thorough here will only make your life much easier a little later. You don't want to leave any stragglers around to make your life more hellish when the going gets tough in just a moment.
Now, without a perfect 100 skill level in Speech or Barter, talking your way out of a confrontation with the Legion here is going to be virtually impossible. The leader of the Legion forces here, a heavily-armored, daunting-looking man named Legate Lanius, can be found atop a tiny cliff overlooking the camp. When you approach him, he'll automatically engage you in conversation. By being threatening towards him, you could immediately cut to the chase and bring on a fight right away, but you may want to explore the conversation instead. Then again, you could completely avoid a fight here by instead opting to use Speech or Barter, but then again, as we mentioned earlier, doing so will involve the highest possible Speech or Barter skills. So if you've been following our walkthrough thus far, you'll inevitably end up fighting with Legate Lanius before very long.
Legate Lanius by himself is absolutely no joke. He has the power to use a firearm, but the real threat from him comes from the gigantic sword he wields. This thing will cut you down in no time at all, so you need to be very careful here. Use all of your drugs, like Med-X, Buffout and Jet, to give yourself an extra boost, because you're definitely going to need it. Also, be certain you keep your distance from Legate Lanius as you do battle with him, or you won't last very long. The reason we told you to be thorough in clearing out enemies around and in the camp before confronting him, however, is that they will join the fight here, as will a bunch of spawning enemies from around the camp. So while you'll still have to deal with pesky extraneous enemies here, at least you don't have to deal with the sheer amount of them you would have if you weren't thorough. This is a hell of a fight, one way or the other, though, so be prepared, and go for broke. The game is just about over, so there's literally no reason whatsoever to keep hold of any items or gear. It's all fair game now.
When Legate and his men are dead, the game will prompt you to speak with the NCR. But you won't have to go far to do that. When you approach the exit out of the camp, the door will explode open, and NCR soldiers will appear on the other side. The commanding officer of the NCR, General Lee Oliver, will confront you. At first jovial about your success and anxious to enlist your further help with the NCR, you're sad to have to tell him that the NCR isn't welcome here, either. Yes, yes -- we coaxed the NCR along this whole time, but then again, if you were enemies with both the NCR and the Legion, your life would have been much, much more difficult than it would have had to have been. If you followed our walkthrough and were thorough in getting the help of the Protectrons and all of the other crews around the Mojave Wasteland that we pointed out to you, you'll survive this confrontation without a fight. The NCR should be scared off, one way or another (it doesn't have to end violently), and the game will end.
Congratulations! You've beaten Fallout: New Vegas. Enjoy the ending, tailor-made to the many decisions you made throughout the game.

I pass pro"life" protesters with pictures like this one every day on my commute to work. It's a great way to start your day off with a grrr.
It is my least favorite thing about working so close to the hospital (which is the only place that has abortion services in my city, which means it is the only place to put these signs to shame the women who need to access abortion services).
I just want to say, at 26 weeks, it is not an infant, but a fetus (or, if born at this age, a neo-natal preemie that may or may not be old enough to survive). The language and photo are problematic for many many reasons. Less than 1% of abortions in Canada take place after 20 weeks, and when they do, it is usually because the baby has no chance of surviving and the mother doesn't want to put her body through carrying a baby that is going to die to term.
Also, a fetus in the womb is probably not smiling. But it looks cuter in the photo if there is a small smile on the baby, I guess.
Also, I keep planning on bringing a sign that I can fold up into my backpack that just says PRO-CHOICE in big letters and then I can hold it up while I walk past them, so I can at least feel like I am doing something. I started trying to organize a protest, but they are usually gone by 10am and most of us have to work.

Revision as of 05:59, 2 February 2009
- 1 Introduction
- 2 Printer
- 3 Scanner
This is a brief tutorial to make the Brother MFC-420CN printer/scanner work on Arch. While this tutorial is based on the MFC-420CN specifically, it can be used as a general guide for most Brother MFC model printers (substituting MFC-420CN for your model where needed). On Brother's Linux Driver page you can find extra information along with drivers for different printer models.
This tutorial assumes you have the following packages installed. Failure to do so may result in hard to trace issues with printing.
- cups
- ghostscript
- gsfonts
- foomatic-filters
- arch x86_64 requires lib32-libcups
If you previously tried to install the printer in CUPS, remove it and any remaining driver files!!
Brother's scripts make use of the C Shell (csh) instead of the more common Bash. We must install tcsh from the "extra" repo.
# pacman -Sy tcsh
Brother's scripts look for C Shell in /bin/csh but will fail with the error "Bad Interpreter" unless we correct this to /usr/bin/tcsh. As root lets create a symbolic link:
# ln -s /usr/bin/tcsh /bin/csh
Your user is a member of the printer group (lp). Be sure to logout for changes to take affect.
# usermod -aG lp [username]
Additional info about setting up CUPS if needed.
Download printer drivers
Brother actively supplies Linux drivers for it's MFC series printers in RPM and DEB formats. Luckily there are tools to change these formats into something Arch can use.
First create a temporary directory.
Then you must download the official LPR drivers from the Brother website into this directory. Click here to download the MFC-420CN LPR driver (RPM archive).
You should also download the CUPS wrapper script. Click here to download the MFC-420CN CUPS wrapper script (RPM archive). This script creates the filters and PPD file for CUPS automatically saving us from extra work.
Extracting the RPM files
Now you need a small script called rpmextract which allows you to extract files from the RPM you've just downloaded.
In the terminal as root:
# pacman -Sy rpmextract
Extract both RPM files :
$ rpmextract.sh MFC420CNlpr-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm $ rpmextract.sh cupswrapperMFC420CN-1.0.0-1.i386.rpm
Editing files to make it work with Arch
Arch Linux uses its own file system organization, so we'll have to edit some files. Assuming you are still in the temporary directory you created. You can use your favorite text editor to edit usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper/cupswrapperMFC420CN-1.0.0 and change all instances of /etc/init.d/ to /etc/rc.d/ OR you can just do the following.
As root in terminal:
# sed -i 's|/etc/init.d|/etc/rc.d|' usr/local/Brother/cupswrapper/cupswrapperMFC420CN-1.0.0
Once you've finished this step, copy all of the files to their corresponding directories in your file system :
# cp -r usr/* /usr
Installing the printer (Local USB)
Now lets run the script to install the driver for us.
As root in terminal:
It will stop the cups daemon if it's running, and restart it.
Now go to the CUPS setup page: http://localhost:631/ Click on Manage Printers you should see your MFC-420CN printer automatically installed and configured. Print a test page!
If the test page fails with error "Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds..." then.
- Click Delete Printer and remove the automatically created printer.
- Click Administration --> Find New Printers
- You should see your Brother printer listed here, add it!
- Print a test page
NOTE: Be sure to add cups to the DAEMON line in rc.conf so it loads everytime at startup.
Installing the printer (Network, Ethernet)
Now lets run the script to install the driver for us.
As root in terminal:
It will stop the cups daemon if it's running, and restart it.
Now go to the CUPS setup page: http://localhost:631/
- Click Manage Printers --> Delete Printer and remove the automatically created printer.
- Click Administration --> Find New Printers
- You should see your Brother printer listed here, add it!
- Print a test page
If Find New Printers doesn't list any printers you can try to set it up manually.
- Click Add Printer
- Location can be left blank, but can have something in it for reference sake, Description can be left blank, but can also have something in it for reference sake. Click continue
- Choose the device "Appsocket/HP JetDirect" then click continue
- Set the Device URI to socket://192.168.0.10:9100
- Select the make Brother
- Select the printer Brother MFC-420CN CUPS
- Click finish and print a test page.
NOTE: Be sure to add cups to the DAEMON line in rc.conf so it loads everytime at startup.
NOTE: for Brother DCP340-CW. If you would like to print wireless, try and modify the previous added printer using Cups:
- Click Printers.
- Click Modify Printer for the printer you installed previously
- Click Continue
- Choose LPD/LPR Host or Printer
- Write in the filed Device URI: lpd://192.168.1.199/binary_p1. Of course, replace that ip with yours.
- Choose Brother manufacturer and Brother MFC-210 Cups wrapper driver in the next screen
- Click on Modify Printer
and you will be able to print also using wifi of DCP340-CW.
First, make sure you set up SANE.
This scanner works with Brother's brscan2 driver. (32 bit | 64 bit)
You'll need to extract the files to a temp path:
$ rpmextract brscan2-0.2.4-0.i386.rpm
or, for 64 bit:
$ rpmextract brscan2-0.2.4-0.x86_64.rpm
Now copy the files to their corresponding directories in your file system:
# cp -r /path/to/brscan/usr/* /usr
Now you'll need to add "brother2" to the end of /etc/sane.d/dll.conf
Brother felt it necessary to include a script to do that, so you can also run:
# /usr/local/Brother/sane/setupSaneScan2 -i
For a networked brother scanner:
# brsaneconfig2 -a name=[ANY_NAME] model=[EXACT_MODEL] ip=[IP_ADDR]
# brsaneconfig2 -a name=MFC420CN model=MFC-420CN ip=10.1.1.90
I can scan as root, but not as a normal user
Make sure your user is in the scanner group:
# gpasswd -a username scanner
then log out and back in.
If you still can't scan as a normal user, check that /usr/lib/sane (or /usr/lib64/sane for 64 bit) are readable and executable for your user/group.
64 bit caveat
The 64 bit RPM has two files in /usr/lib64/, along with two symlinks to each file. However, the Arch64 Sane package will probably look in /usr/lib/ rather than /usr/lib64/, so we'll need to create some more symlinks. And since the symlinks reference the absolute path, not the relative path, ie:
linkedfile -> /usr/lib64/originalfile
rather than
linkedfile -> ./originalfile
a simple cp -r /path/to/brscan/usr/lib64/* /usr/lib/ won't do.
# ln -s /usr/lib64/libbrcolm2.so.1.0.1 /usr/lib/ # ln -s /usr/lib64/libbrscandec2.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/ # ln -s /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother2.so.1.0.7 /usr/lib/sane/ # cd /usr/lib # ln -s libbrcolm2.so.1.0.1 libbrcolm2.so.1 # ln -s libbrcolm2.so.1 libbrcolm2.so # ln -s libbrscandec2.so.1.0.0 libbrscandec2.so.1 # ln -s libbrscandec2.so.1 libbrscandec2.so # cd sane # ln -s libsane-brother2.so.1.0.7 libsane-brother2.so.1 # ln -s libsane-brother2.so.1 libsane-brother2.so
Here's all of that in a nice bash friendly string:
ln -s /usr/lib64/libbrcolm2.so.1.0.1 /usr/lib/; ln -s /usr/lib64/libbrscandec2.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/; ln -s /usr/lib64/sane/libsane-brother2.so.1.0.7 /usr/lib/sane/; cd /usr/lib; ln -s libbrcolm2.so.1.0.1 libbrcolm2.so.1; ln -s libbrcolm2.so.1 libbrcolm2.so; ln -s libbrscandec2.so.1.0.0 libbrscandec2.so.1; ln -s libbrscandec2.so.1 libbrscandec2.so; cd sane; ln -s libsane-brother2.so.1.0.7 libsane-brother2.so.1; ln -s libsane-brother2.so.1 libsane-brother2.so
Brother also has a Linux driver for the PC FAX features of this printer. For more information about the PC Fax drivers please see the Brother Linux Driver page.

Race fans hire Orlando lawyers to investigate Daytona Speedway crash
Attorney Matt Morgan representing 3 crash victims
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Race fans hurt in a wild crash at Daytona International Speedway during a NASCAR race are now getting some legal help.
Attorney firm Morgan and Morgan is representing three of the people hit by debris.
Orlando attorney Matt Morgan says he's now investigating the crash that happened Saturday and injured more than two dozen spectators.
Debris flew off the speedway and into the stands as a car struck the fencing during the final lap of the Nationwide race.
Morgan said he believes this crash is a case of gross negligence.
As a NASCAR fan himself, Morgan says he's been to the Speedway many times and says no fan could ever foresee car parts crashing through the catch fence and flying into the stands.
He says his office will be questioning the manufacturer of the fence.
"We know that in 2009, there was a similar crash in Talladega at that point in time," Morgan said. "What we have to investigate is what was done, and was there a safer fence that wasn't put in place because of monetary considerations?"
Morgan says it will take time to investigate the crash and answer all the legal questions.
The three victims he's representing are still in the hospital recovering from their injuries.

AUSTIN, Texas — In the largest, most in-depth study to date on regret surrounding sexual activity, a team of psychology researchers found a stark contrast in remorse between men and women, potentially shedding light on the evolutionary history of human nature.
Researchers for the peer-reviewed study included University of Texas at Austin evolutionary psychologist David Buss. The study was led by Andrew Galperin, a former social psychology doctoral student at the University of California-Los Angeles; and Martie Haselton, a UCLA social psychology professor. It is published in the current issue of Archives of Sexual Behavior.
The findings show how human emotions such as regret can play an important role in survival and reproduction.They suggest that men are more likely to regret not taking action on a potential liaison, and women are more remorseful for engaging in one-time liaisons.
"Prior sex researchers have focused primarily on the emotion of sexual attraction in sexual decisions," Buss says. "These studies point to the importance of a neglected mating emotion —sexual regret — which feels experientially negative but in fact can be highly functional in guiding adaptive sexual decisions."
Evolutionary pressures probably explain the gender difference in sexual regret, says Haselton, who earned her Ph.D. in psychology at UT Austin.
"For men throughout evolutionary history, every missed opportunity to have sex with a new partner is potentially a missed reproduce opportunity — a costly loss from an evolutionary perspective." Haselton says. "But for women, reproduction required much more investment in each offspring, including nine months of pregnancy and potentially two additional years of breastfeeding. The consequences of casual sex were so much higher for women than for men, and this is likely to have shaped emotional reactions to sexual liaisons even today."
In three studies the researchers asked participants about their sexual regrets. In the first study, 200 respondents evaluated hypothetical scenarios in which someone regretted pursuing or failing to pursue an opportunity to have sex. They were then asked to rate their remorse on a five-point scale. In the second study, 395 participants were given a list of common sexual regrets and were asked to indicate which ones they have personally experienced. The last study replicated the second one with a larger sample of 24,230 individuals that included gay, lesbian and bisexual respondents.
According to the findings:
Regret comes after the fact, so it's not protective, Haselton notes. But it might help women avoid a potentially costly action again.
"One thing that is fascinating about these emotional reactions in the present is that they might be far removed from the reproductive consequences of the ancestral past," Haselton says. "For example, we have reliable methods of contraception. But that doesn't seem to have erased the sex differences in women's and men's responses, which might have a deep evolutionary history."

Looking for an RV topic? Search the entire forum HERE
So then I guess we agree. Same as the national anthem, That makes it perfectly ethical not to stand up for a judge in court in a court of law.Glad we're still friends.
Nope, cannot understand "disdain" for the best legal system in the world. To which system do you compare our system. Jeesh...
I have disdain for the inequalities within our justice system. If you want to protest the justice system by staying seated or taking a knee when the judge enters, I would protect your right to do so. Peaceful protest is a right under our Constitution. But let me make something perfectly clear, the athletes are not protesting the flag, national anthem or the military. Since I am not versed in all countries justice systems I cannot, with any certainty, say ours is the best. I can say that the US justice system does not treat all citizens equal and fair.
isn't the whole damn football protest really just about not being treated equal and fair ?I guess everyone should take a knee.
Inequalities and you want to pass blame on the system...tsk., tsk., tsk. You have to remember that the system is staff by people, people make decisions based on their worldview. If you want to invoke change vote. If you already vote then get involved and invoke the change you so desire according to your worldview.The protests are about a spoiled adopted child who started off having a tantrum and taking a knee out of his immaturity...the press created the drama. You folks have bought into the drama.
Somehow I don't think Tom saw all this coming when he started the topic.
You can have pride in your country and still want your country to be better. We, as a country, should strive to always be better. When America was in its infancy only white men had the right to vote and hold office. It took many, many years hardship and bloodshed for people of color and women to obtain those rights. There are many examples of inequality in our history. We as a nation are getting better but we cannot just sit back and say we are done. We have to continue to work to make things equal for all as stated in the Constitution. I served my country for 36 years. I do not want that 36 years of service squandered by our country backsliding into what some call the good ole days.
I'll agree with that.The system is the people. I do vote and I am involved. I guess you have a right to your opinion as to why Colin Kaepernick started this protest but there are some facts you are ignoring. He is protesting the treatment that many black folks are receiving at the hands of some very bad cops. He first was sitting during the Anthem but then he was approached by a former Army Special Forces and NFL player Nate Boyer. They had a meeting and Boyer ask Kaepernick asked if he would mind kneeling and not sitting. Boyer told him sitting could be misconstrued as disrespect for the flag and the Anthem. Kaepernick agreed with him and that is why the athletes now kneel. Those are the facts. Colin Kaepernick is a very magnanimous guy who gives a lot of money away to many causes. He is certainly someone I can respect.
And you sir are demonstrating classic white privilege. If you do not like the conversation, stay out of it.
Didn't know there was an unnotify list.
Below a post there is a choice to be notified for any additional posts to that thread. You will be sent an email when there is. If you have checked that box previously then the box will read Unnotify which you select if you no longer want to receive email updates on the thread. At least that's how I understand it.Bill
Yes, this is a typical response: "If I don't like what you say then you shutup." White Priviledge? Really? Surely you can come up with something that wasn't invented for people of your persuasion to try and put a guilt trip on others.Bill
Don't take the bait Bill. I'm still having fun....
Come on Bill, you can do it.
I would love to hear your justification of the original O.J. trial ?
Justification for the verdict?
that will workIt's probably going to be the same explanation as Clintons.....but what about truth and justice for all.
Yes...Then he would have had every exemption from the law .....Black, Sports star, Wealthy, Liberal.... and a Hollywood star.Peace...I'm out.
Not sure you have the stomach for this......OJ was guilty as hell. The DA's office did a terrible job. He got away with murder then and he sweet talked the parole board and lied his a$$ off and walked out of prison today. If he would have acted that good in the Towering Inferno it probably would have won some awards.
You guys had street lights!?! I was a teenager before we got power. I can still remember the first time I spoke on a telephone; I held the receiver to my ear for a moment and my aunt yelled "you have to say something"

When I go to a conference it's tough for me to figure out where I should go first. I have to get my bearings, find a schedule, obtain a press pass and then make choices.
Right next to the press office was a new Digital Hollywood lecture starting up. The panel was made up of Film Critics. I heard discussions about critics being flown off to a tropical island resort by a studio, then being force-fed a movie. Then the critic would be be whisked away and sworn to secrecy to not talk about the film they saw.
Doesn't sound so bad a life, right? More of the discussion was how social media is affecting their jobs. Any Joe Shmoe can write a blog and be a movie critic now. Joe Shmoe can tweet and be retweeted 2,000 times. These tweets carry a lot of power and once changed a studio's mind so they released the movie they were planning to throw on a dusty shelf and use as a tax write off. The movie critic who writes for a paper is required to follow the rules and sometimes won't review a bad movie for fear of pissing off the wrong people. Yet, they aren't invited to see Horror movies in advance because they are trashed so badly by critics.
I started http://blogmytv.com. I use my vast experience in Television writing and production to interview celebrities.
After that I ventured out and found the large, main room where the Advertising talks were. I learned more about how the Internet changed everything around. Now, clients would bring in a tech expert to explain how an ad can be inserted into a video game. The ad men would be stumped by the Tech questions, the digital specs, ROI and entertainment options for the client.
Lots more talk about mobile phones being the future and TV screens being left behind.
It was crazy. So many people who wanted to go back to the old ways when all people did was sit and watch TV.
The Advertising agencies speaking got so upset when I asked, "Aren't you really Marketing not Advertising now?"
A J Walter Thompson executive replied, "I would like to tear the word Agency right off my door."
Wow. Strong reaction. They have to get over it.
It's a different world now with digital media.
Think of that when you're writing. Remember that people may read your blog on a mobile screen. Make sure you're optimized for a Smart Phone.
I was the most enthralled in the conversation on Branded Entertainment. Car brands are inserting themselves in video games to interact with the consumer.
I heard about the fun of creating the Geiko Gecko. An Amazing branding for Geico. He is such a celebrity now. Characters bring in customers. One advertising man watched the Geiko Gecko getting makeup, adlibbing and forgot he wasn't real or was he? That's been their best advertising yet.
Another conversation was about the Most Interesting Man in the World for Dos Equis beer. Everybody has heard of him. Facebook followers write lines for him. He's so hot, his thermometer reads 110 and that's normal.
The most interesting man is so rich that he makes toilet paper out of thousand dollar bills.

Katy Perry and John Mayer See the Rolling Stones | Pictures
Katy and John Show Love at a Stones Show
Katy Perry did some holiday shopping solo yesterday afternoon in NYC before she linked up with her boyfriend, John Mayer, for a trip out to New Jersey. Katy and John were in the front row at Newark's Prudential Center for a special show during the Rolling Stones' 50 and Counting minitour. Also out to see the Stones, who'd performed one day earlier at the 12/12/12 concert, were not-engaged couple Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis. Olivia was eying guitarist Ron Wood — not frontman Mick Jagger — tweeting, "Holy s*it Ronnie Wood you got style, boy. It's just a fact."
It was the latest outing during an exciting week for Katy and John. Earlier, Katy and John took his dad to see A Christmas Story: The Musical. Katy and John are apparently in an end-of-year theater phase — Katy and John saw Sleep No More in the Big Apple recently, too.

Reg review of 2011: Jobs, floaters and 90,000 tons of radioactive water
Cue commentards going nuclear ...
No more PC spin-outs
Compare that to the year before, when Apotheker was hailed by board member Robert Ryan as a "strategic thinker with a passion for technology, wide-reaching global experience and proven operational discipline - exactly what we were looking for in a CEO. After more than two decades in the industry," Ryan added, "he has a strong track record of driving technological innovation, building customer relationships and developing world-class teams."
Nixing the PC spin-out was one of Whitman's first acts.
Whitman's reign ended a turbulent year under Apotheker. Her appointment seemed to indicate that those running the world's largest PC company had given up on the idea that an ideologist - a software ideologist in this case - could put HP on new course. In Whitman, HP had picked a business operator - a technocrat - who, as eBay's CEO, had ran a company that was a technology consumer and that used software, services and data centers to grow the business. She wasn't known for prescribing a bold directions or for being Ms Software.
Hopefully, for HPs sake, this will mean evolution into the kind of post-PC future Apotheker thought he could force.
There are challenges. HP's cloud has yet to materialise, despite much hot air and talk of OpenStack. HP's tablets will run Windows 8 not webOS; while that means HP's tablets should have the familiarity of Windows on the PC and reflect the kind of steady-as-she-goes comfortable thinking HP wanted, there's no guarantee that Windows 8 tables can do any better against the iPad than the webOS-powered TouchPad. No matter what happens to these new ideas, though, at least HP will have the PC business to help keep things ticking over.
Fukushima crisis: from nature, a mighty wave
In 2011, the most powerful earthquake in history resulted in the biggest catastrophe to hit Japan since the second world war.
The quake, a magnitude 8.9, struck off the northeast coast of Japan on March 11 and was so powerful it knocked the planet several feet off of its axis.
It also unleashed a fearsome tsunami wave. Traveling as fast as a jet airliner, the wave hit Japan's coast, wiping out entire towns and villages: officially, 19,000 people were killed by the quake and wave.
The tsunami also triggered one of the most serious civil nuclear accidents in history, when it struck the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant on Japan's northeast coast.
The plant managed to survive the quake but the tsunami shut down the plant's back-up generators responsible for cooling four nuclear generators. A following combination of explosions and meltdown resulted in the release of radioactive caesium and iodine into the atmosphere.
Around 160,000 residents were ordered out of their homes in the 20km area around Fukushima and an exclusion zone established. The Japanese government now reckons it will be 20 years before residents can return.
During the darkest hours of the crisis, when there seemed no containment in sight, there were scares over contamination of milk and water, of radioactivity hitting the atmosphere and of running into the waters of the Pacific Ocean. It didn't help that a US carrier that happened to be the region, the USS Ronald Reagan, was pulled back as a precautionary step.
The media reporting didn't take down levels of tension, as comparisons with the Chernobyl explosion and meltdown in 1986 were quickly, and inevitably, drawn.
Explosions and meltdown at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant
The hospitalisation of two plant workers for exposure to "higher-than-normal" radiation rates was a gift to a media gripped by nuke fear. In fact, the pair took a shot of around 170 millisieverts to the skin on their legs. The accepted value is for 100 mSv in an emergency, although the World Health Organization's limit is 500 mSv. In Chernobyl, about 134 plant workers and firefighters received does of 800 to 16,000 mSv and suffered acute radiation sickness as a result; of these, 28 died within the first three months from their injuries.
While Chernobyl and Fukushima both received International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Level 7 severity ratings, Fukushima saw less radiation released than Chernobyl; also, there were no casualties attributed to radiation compared to 64 at Chernobyl.
Nine months later, the authorities have achieved a state of "cold shut-down" with the reactor's fuel having cooled to a temperature where there's no nuclear reaction, while little radiation is being released into the atmosphere.
Japan's authorities must now work out how to physically contain the damaged reactors, with a Chernobyl-style sarcophagus. The prospect of people returning to the exclusion zone is a generation away as radiation readings in the zone are as high as 200 mSv per year – the maximum dose allowed for a worked in the US nuclear industry is 50 mSv per year and a US civilian is 6.2 mSv per year from natural and man-made radiation sources. The real problem is the presence of caesium 137, which digs into soil, and finds its way into the food chain. This has a half life of 30 years.
Meanwhile, there's the small problem of what to do with 90,000 tons of radioactive water that was dumped on the heating cores at the height of the crisis and that is now sitting in huge containment vessels. ®
The roundup was too large to squeeze into one article. Look out for part 2 over the next few days, giving you a much-needed distraction from the Christmas family frenzy. Don't say we never do anything for you.

Convicted killer found with 13 guns, ammo in Minn.
- He was arrested because sheriff remembered the original crime
- After his conviction%2C he stayed in juvenile treatment centers and a halfway house
- Neighbors say he%27s been firing guns for years
WATERTOWN TOWNSHIP, Minn. — A man who killed his mother almost 18 years ago and has been hospitalized for mental illness is in jail, accused of possessing 13 firearms and ammunition.
Christian Oberender, 32, was arrested this week, but neighbors say he has been firing guns on his property in rural Carver County for years without getting the attention of law enforcement.
STORY:Committing mentally ill adult is complex
"The neighbors said they made numerous calls to the sheriff's department that a young man is out shooting a gun in the back yard," said David Marlette, Watertown-Mayer school superintendent. "I just think it took too long for someone to come and take his guns away." Oberender's father, Larry Oberender, served on the Watertown-Mayer school board from 1991 to 2008.
Authorities have been called to the Oberender home here 13 times since Feb. 16, 1995, Carver County Sheriff's Deputy Jason Kamerud said, including the call in which Mary Oberender was found shot five times with a shotgun.
Those calls ranged from property-damage reports, fire-alarm mishaps and one report in July of a person — neighbors say it was Christian Oberender — shooting guns.
Carver County investigators say Christian Oberender may have been able to purchase some of his 13 guns legally because his name didn't raise any red flags on a Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension background check.
"When we ran his criminal history, it wasn't indicated that he should not be able to have firearms," Kamerud said.
County officials say they don't know what records were sent to the state in 1995 when Oberender shot his mother. Christian Oberender, an eighth-grader at the time, was 14 years old.
That was before fingerprints that are a part of the state's records went digital.
"The BCA relies on entities in the criminal justice system to provide data on an individual which then populates the individual's criminal history," Bureau of Criminal Apprehension officials said in a statement. "There were no data submitted to the BCA about this individual. Without it there can be no record."
After being convicted of killing his mother, Christian Oberender lived in treatment centers, some of them with prisonlike security, until he was 21. He then spent a year in a halfway house, according to an Associated Press report from 10 years ago. At the time, Oberender's doctor reported that the youth had severe mental problems, including potential schizophrenia.
Oberender is in jail now on $1 million bond because Sheriff Jim Olson remembered the 1995 case when he saw that a woman had filed a complaint accusing Oberender of posting pictures of himself with guns on Facebook, Kamerud said.
Investigators who arrested Oberender say they found an alarming note, written recently, in his bedroom:
"I feel the good part of me fade away. I don't know how long I can hold it in for. I think about killing all the time," the note said. "The monster want out. I know what happens when he comes out. He only been out one time and someone die. ... The monster want to hurt people. There is so much pain in my heart and soul. Me want others to feel it."

Having supplied my gut reaction to Sonic Generations on Tuesday, I'm still plowing through the game, on course for a review next week. So there'll be a large portion of that on my weekend menu, alongside BurgerTime World Tour, aka the game that HezaChan's boyfriend made.
BurgerTime is a lot of fun, but a little strange to me. Peter Pepper can jump (though don't try to jump the pickle) which is about as profound as giving Nathan "Radd" Spencer a jump in Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2. Has any video game character gone longer between appearances than Peter Pepper? None leap to mind. What's next, Zookeeper World Tour? Pengo World Tour?
So it's a platforming weekend for me. What about you? Let us know what you're playing this weekend.
You can contact Owen Good, the author of this post, at email@example.com. You can also find him on Twitter, Facebook, and lurking around our #tips page.
