People crowd to see Mahim'miracle', despite warnings

Hundreds of city residents thronged Mahim beach, following reports of sea water turning sweet even as Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh | and government agencies cautioned them on Saturday against drinking water from the creek.
Even as people began coming to the beach in large numbers since Friday night to taste the'miracle', government agencies including the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation tested the water samples and warned it was 'unfit' for drinking.

Green River coaches throw in the towel.
After a lengthy coaching career at Green River High, coach Stanford Parsons has decided to call it quits. Although Parsons will not coach athletics, he will continue teaching and serve as the athletic director for the school.
Parsons has coached athletics for 27 years. Over these years, Parsons has coached five state championship teams in three different sports, along with winning a total of 681 games.
Along with success, Parsons also felt his fair share | of defeat over the years. Most notably are the two losses in overtime which his girls basketball team fell to at the state finals, along with a boys basketball loss also in overtime in the finals.
Parsons has had a successful career as the boys basketball coach the past 17 seasons with a 269-136 record and two state titles. As girls basketball coach for 11 years, Parsons compiled a 152-56 record, along with a 260-129 volleyball record | [

I think that there is a lot of useless masturbation on all this, like it happens in still land.
Apart from broadcast,
The gamma shift exists, it's crap yes but...so what? I mean that this topic has been on air worldwide for years and we still turn arround in circles.
I checked (in another topic in this forum) the morgan's videos on both peecees and macs. There is the expected gamma shift (normal), although the irony is that
I would not notice anything strange if not doing a side by side on purpose. (wich in real world I'd never do)
Included the TVs...well, wich settings? I have a setting in my tv that sort of act on the gamma and matches the computer's. I could tell that there was something wrong on the factory settings because I knew exactly the reds and contrasts of the spanish national teevee, and what my | tv displayed was completly wrong (crushed). I applied this setting and the result removed the crushed was then very close to the official spanish tv, even now when I watch a dvd on my computer, my tv output matches it quite well. So wich reference point to take if we can set a monitor or a tv to different configs? Yes, there is a reference point, but once the footage is on-line, the viewing experience of the audience might be very very different and escapes to our control.

The Underwater Menace
So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish!
By Bruce Robinson
It's funny how a title alone can conjure up different visions of a Doctor Who story. At first glance, the titles The Underwater Menace and Fury from the Deep may seem like almost identical descriptions of a story (which, in fact, they just about are!). However, while one generally succeeds in bringing up positive feelings from the fans, the other only seems to cause a mixture of shuddering, giggling and screwed-up facial expressions...
The Underwater Menace has always had a reputation for being one of the real clangers of Doctor Who. Of course, being stuck in the middle of a strong bunch of | stories doesn't help its cause at all. In fact, the majority of Troughton stories from The Power of the Daleks to The Wheel in Space were well-produced and popular serials.

Walking Towards Married Life
If I was told to write a book, it would have been a book on getting married. Recently it has been so poetic moments as I see the days shredding its time, bringing me closer to be a married woman. My wedding date is on 11/12/2008.
Every day, I see a new page, a page of life that I have never experienced before, it comes with anxiety, anticipation and the fear of choosing a journey I’m not sure where it may lead me. The submission to another soul, where you submit not only yourself but you shred all you clothing (not in actual but in poetic terms) to another human-being for the sake of love and unity of marriage.
Sure its put in many terms, the definition of marriage but as I walk towards it, I’m confused of how it can be termed.
So I ask what has been not touched of me, my inner being. “Oh soul! Is all of you primed to walk on marriage endeavor. Walk slowly like a bride, smile in anticipation that you are afraid but lovingly accepting the terms of this entire journey. Grow wisely with its waves, embrace all its tides, and when there are times passes | you, gasp for air to exist and to excel of who you are.

WASHINGTON -- The No. 2 Senate Democrat is calling off a proposed hearing on bounties in professional sports because he is satisfied with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's response to the issue, including setting up an anonymous hotline.

The sun descended slowly behind the Everfree Forest, casting a shadow over Ponyville. A single grey Pegasus flew down from above the rooftops and landed on a grass covered path.

In Sunday School, we were told to think about what Christmas means to each of us. We’re looking forward to a quiet Christmas…a day to reflect on the “reason for the season” and all the blessings that have come to us over the years. The birth of Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord…the day HE was made manifest in human form. God sent Jesus into the World to walk among us, to teach, preach and to be the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.
It’s through God’s grace that we draw breath, that we’re healthy. We have 4 children, 11 Grandchildren, 1 GreatGrandchild and they are all healthy…we are sheltered, clothed, warm and well fed. Through God’s mercy, we are forgiven our sins and have salvation. We are truly blessed.
For the first time in a bunch of years, we are alone for Christmas. We decided to downplay the traditional trappings…decorations are very simple and handcrafted. The menu has been pared down to fit 2 instead of the normal 9-15.
With 2 new kittens in the house, we chose not to put up the big Christmas tree. Scamp | is a one kitty wrecking crew…then if you add Shadow Fire and Ebby into the mix, they’re running rings around the ceiling.

Sarah Palin, 55 percent unfavorable poll ratings notwithstanding, is a political phenomenon the likes of which American public life rarely has seen. There’s something distinctive, something deeply personal, about the way her legions of strong supporters rush not just to defend her but to counter-attack any and all of her critics.

H. Policy and Procedures on Sexual Harassment
1. Statement Against and Definition of Sexual Harassment
Illinois Institute of Technology is committed to ensuring an environment for all members of the university community that is fair, humane, and respectful - an environment which supports and rewards student, faculty and staff performance on the basis of relevant considerations such as ability and effort. Behaviors that inappropriately assert sexuality as relevant to student, faculty or staff performance damage this environment. Therefore, IIT will provide for its students, faculty and | staff an educational and employment environment free of unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct or communications constituting sexual harassment as defined and otherwise prohibited by local, state and federal law. Sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or sexually-directed remarks constitute harassment when either:
- Submission to such conduct is used or threatened to be used as the basis for academic or employment decisions; or
- Such conduct directed against an individual persists despite its rejection.
Sexual harassment by any member of the university community is prohibited. This prohibition includes peer harassment among students, staff or faculty. Sexual harassment by a | [

Veterans are taking the lead in Baltimore, cleaning up years of blight and helping residents in a mostly poor, African-American neighborhood to rid the area of drug dealers.
"Along blocks dotted with boarded-up homes, veterans are applying lessons they learned in Iraq and Afghanistan in an effort to restore the community's sense of pride – and their own sense of purpose," reports the CS Monitor.
The long-term commitment of these veterans and their non-profit group, The 6th Branch, has mobilized hundreds of volunteers from nearly every Baltimore area university and has led to many partnerships with local organizations. The result is that new homeowners and renters have now taken up residency in Oliver, once the city's worst neighborhood.
"There are hundreds of veterans organizations that advocate for veterans benefits," the group says on their website. "We believe that veterans can lead this country and solve | our toughest problems."
Accomplishments of "Operation Oliver" include 65 tons of garbage and debris removed from streets, two large murals painted, more than 100 trees and shrubs planted, and whole lots of weeds knocked back.
Nearly 2,000 volunteers have logged time to help out in Oliver. One resident has been enrolled in a job retraining program and many others have benefitted from | [

After getting on base twice and scoring a run in last night’s 6-2 victory over the woeful Pirates, James Loney has now managed to make it on base in 10 of his last 11 games, and – believe or not – has actually been killing the ball for the last month. Dig those OPS lines!

I have been trying to find the campaign websites for all the candidates running for Seattle School Board this year (candidate filings closed 5 p.m. Friday), and the final list looks something like this. Two things: there's like a ton of them and only four open seats; not all of them have a website yet.
Most of the new candidates are running because they are tired of the corruption and cronyism in Seattle Public Schools. Some want to focus on closing the achievement gap and raising test scores. Others are just sick of the influence a plethora of foundations have on education these days.
At least one of the candidates is a reluctant one who says he's running because he is tired of mediocrity in our schools and the "business | as usual approach" of our school board. Another lists this thing as his campaign website. This one sued the district against its new high school math textbooks in 2009.
The incumbents say they are fed up of the same things their challengers are (of course, I mean there can only be so many problems in one district, right?).

Maryland's Natural Communities - Shale Barrens in Maryland
Kasecamp Shale Barrens, Allegany County

Being on a shale barren feels a bit like being in an old western. Hot. Dry. Gritty. Stunted trees and copperheads, crumbling rock and open sky. All that's missing is the withered old prospector. But you won't find gold in "them thar hills." There's a different kind of treasure here.

Thief River Falls - Anthony “Tony” Noel, 65, of Thief River Falls, died on Monday, Nov. 12, 2012 at his home with his family at his side.
A Celebration of Life gathering for family and friends will be held at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 14 (today) at Johnson Funeral Service in Thief River Falls, with Rev. Sheila Michaels officiating.

4th Global Conference
Sunday 14th July – Tuesday 16th July 2013
Call for Presentations
This multi-disciplinary research and publications project seeks to explore the different ideas, actions, and cultural traditions of vengeance or revenge. The project explores the nature of revenge, its relationship with issues of justice, economy, and social organization, and its manifestation in the actions of individuals, cultures, communities and nations. We will also consider the history and political economy of revenge, its ‘legitimacy,’ the ‘scale’ of vengeful actions, and whether or not revenge has (or should have) ‘limits.’ Representations of revenge in film, literature, law, television, and cultural performances will be analysed; cultural ‘traditions’ of retaliation and revenge will be | considered. And the role of mercy, forgiveness and pardon will be assessed.
Presentations will be considered on the following or related themes:
The Steering Group particularly welcomes the submission of pre-formed panel proposals.

Pakistan's 'Burushaski' Language Finds New Relatives
ROBERT SIEGEL, HOST:
It's like discovering a distant cousin, a really distant cousin. It's like learning that someone you had barely heard of is actually part of the family. In this case, the family is the Indo-European family of languages. And the umpteenth cousin is a language called Burushaski. It's spoken by about 90,000 people, the Burusho people, and nearly all of them live in Pakistan. A few hundred live in India.

I am not cool. For starters, I don't listen to music. It disrupts my concentration and makes me cranky.

In a debate of mostly general questions, she chose never to be any more specific than necessary. Had some planned policy points she was keen to make, but such moments were few and fleeting. Benefited from the format, which invited simplicity and avoided confrontation.
Chose to look directly at the camera most of the time rather than at Joe Biden, moderator Gwen Ifill or the live audience. Her days of intense rehearsal were apparent, but she was much smoother than in recent media interviews when unspooling canned lines and opinions. Was crisp and calm and kept her folksiness to a few short bursts but effectively unleashed her earthy, relatable charm at choice moments in a winning way.

Technically no - the Elephant & Castle northern roundabout has a far worse record. But the Bow Flyover roundabout is a bloody disgrace, both for pedestrians and cyclists, as was tragically proven yesterday morning.
It's not clear precisely what happened, indeed I wouldn't want to speculate. But this is a roundabout on which millions of pounds have been spent in the last year, and yet it's still a death trap. Why is that?
Take Cycle Superhighway 2, for example, of which the Bow Flyover roundabout is the eastern terminus. Weeks were spent earlier this summer remodelling the centre of the roundabout, then adding two segregated cycle lanes above the A12 underpass. These few metres are wonderfully safe. But then there's a simple blue line painted in a broad curve across the carriageways, and that's evidently not very safe at all. Watching cyclists whizzing up and down CS2, it often looks as if they think the blue strip permits them some sort of priority. But where that blue strip cuts across the entrance and then exit of a very major roundabout, a few pots of paint award no protection whatsoever to those cycling through. On the Bow side, eastbound, | there's a travesty of a cycle lane that I've reported on before, where CS2 lies beneath half a lane of queueing traffic which cyclists have no | [

underablackrainbow wrote:Hi. Can someone tell me if a method can be used outside of a generic function?
- no, but you can pretend that it can, because invoking a generic function looks exactly the same as invoking a regular function (this is not a coincidence)
- yes, you should be able to do what you describe, though a little tweaking may be required
Methods only exist
in the context of a generic function, in the sense that the generic defines the API, and the method then implements that API in whatever manner is best suited to the class(es) on which it's specialised. If you just invoke defmethod without first defining a generic function, CL infers what the generic should look like and creates it automagically. So from that perspective, you can't use methods without generics being involved in some way, even if you don't explicitly make it happen.
Similarly, when you define a method without first defining its generic function, and then call that method with suitable arguments | , you don't need to think in terms of the generic function; you can just look at it as applying that method to its arguments in the same way that you do with a function. However, what you're actually
doing is invoking the generic function, which then goes through the CLOS dispatch system, finds the most specific method that matches the arguments, and then calls on that.
The upshot is that you can think about it in whichever terms suit you (invoking a method vs invoking the generic function), though in the long term you're | [

A Lesson in Suffering
Words were not enough for the Rev. Arthur Michalka to impress upon his parishioners the pain Jesus suffered during crucifixion.So on Wednesday, during evening Mass at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Corn Hill, he called about 15 children to come forward so he could prick their palms with an unsterilized pin.
"What I was trying to teach them is that suffering is a part of life," said Michalka, 78, on Friday.
But the Catholic Diocese of Austin and the parents of one child who was pricked did not think it a prudent lesson. The diocese is conducting an investigation into the incident, though doctors say the risk of exposure to disease is probably low.
"What were you thinking?" said Debbie Sybert, | a Jarrell resident whose 11-year-old daughter, Amanda, was pricked during Mass. "Apparently our father has lost his mind."

- GABAA Receptor Trafficking-Mediated Plasticity of Inhibitory Synapses
Neuron, Volume 70, Issue 3, 12 May 2011, Pages 385-409
Bernhard Luscher, Thomas Fuchs and Casey L. Kilpatrick
SummaryProper developmental, neural cell-type-specific, and activity-dependent regulation of GABAergic transmission is essential for virtually all aspects of CNS function. The number of GABAA receptors in the postsynaptic membrane directly controls the efficacy of GABAergic synaptic transmission. Thus, regulated trafficking of GABAA receptors is essential for understanding brain function in both health and disease. Here we summarize recent progress in the understanding of mechanisms that allow dynamic adaptation of cell surface expression and postsynaptic accumulation and function of GABAA receptors. This | includes activity-dependent and cell-type-specific changes in subunit gene expression, assembly of subunits into receptors, as well as exocytosis, endocytic recycling, diffusion dynamics, and degradation of GABAA receptors. In particular, we focus on the roles of receptor-interacting proteins, scaffold proteins, synaptic adhesion proteins, and enzymes that regulate the trafficking and function of receptors and associated proteins. In addition, we review neuropeptide signaling pathways that affect neural excitability through changes in GABAAR trafficking | [

interesting ideas here but there are couple things are just too distracting to get over: I think you fall out of sync in several places (mainly in the verses), I haven’t heard the original but the intonation takes a hit in the chorus, the hit hat is interesting pattern but it’s mixed way too hot for my ears and I would have shortened the actual hits so it’s gets a lot tighter. Again, good idea but the production would benefit a lot by tightening these things up.

This show was packed and it was hot as fuck... I was really getting light headed and sick to my stomach, I can only imagine how the wrestlers felt
I didn't like the opener at all, mabey just because I am not a Joey Ryan fan, crowd was not into this.
TJP/Roddy looked good on paper but damn I did'nt think it would be that good, awesome technical wrestling contest, crowd was way into TJ.
RockNESS/Taylors was okay until Chuck made the hot tag then it really got going nicely, RockNESS is losing steam quickly, a heel turn is exactly what they needed... Yuma cut a heel promo after the match, I was standing next to him and flipped him off, then he said "you still love me" and gave me a big hug
Cage/Edwards was pretty sweet, Cage definatly looks like he belongs with the big boys, the promo he cut after the match got him crazy over.
Mack/Steen was really damn good, great drama | , great story progression, everything you want in a world title match.
Drake/B-Boy... wow...wow... this blew me away, fucking incredable. These 2 beat the living shit out of each other, stiff as hell, one of the best PWG matches of the year so far. Drake got busted open hardway by headbutts,and you could hear their skulls smashing against each other, it was fucking nuts. And the finishing sequence | [

A recent Surfrider Foundation cleanup, at Prado beaches, near the city of Marseille on France’s Mediterranean coast was designed to highlight the insidious effects of one particular source of pollution – cigarette butts.
Each year Surfrider Foundation Europe organises hundreds of beach and river cleanups throughout Europe with the aim of safeguarding marine life and preserving the environment.
At one such clean-up, on a single day, Saturday, June 30, at Plages du Prado, Surfrider volunteers collected a staggering 25,000 cigarette ends discarded in the sand. Smokers might find it inconvenient to dispose of cigarette butts safely if they are on the beach but all it takes is either a walk to a waste bin or a pocket ashtray. The pollution that flows from the alternative of stubbing out cigarettes in the sand might come as | a wake-up call to smokers.

Sayings of Kolki
[Friends, we all have to be busy to make a living.

|There are different techniques used to achieve a metallic finish with a resin. "Cold-Casting" is a term used to describe the process of mixing metal powder with a resin and applying the mixture into a mold. The finished casting gives the appearance and weight of solid metal. The metal cold-cast process is faster and much less expensive when compared with foundry casting of molten metal (lost wax process). Different metal powders such as Bronze, Brass, Nickel Silver and Copper can be used depending on the desired effect.
Overview - To make a metal cold-casting, metal powder is mixed into the resin until the mixture is thick and creamy. The mixture is then "slush-cast" (poured into a mold and rolled around) or | brushed onto the mold surface (gel coat) until the resin cures. The gel coat is then back-filled with straight resin, resin mixed with metal powder, resin mixed with lead shot (for weight) or Foam-iT!® 5 rigid foam.
Specifics - Cold Cast Bronze - Our example will detail making a cold-casting using bronze powder (also referred to as "bonded bronze") by first applying a "gel coat" layer and | [

udolph Virchow, the famous German pathologist, with a lot of help from fellow countrymen Rudolph Leukart (Rudolph was apparently a very popular name in Germany in those days) and Friedrich Zenker, is generally acknowledged as the person who, through basic laboratory experimentation, deciphered the essentials of the life cycle of Trichinella spiralis. All this happened from the middle 1850's to the 1870's. To do so, Virchow took advantage of serendipity; an old dog and a fresh cadaver whose muscle tissue was riddled with white flecks, just like those described by Richard Owen in 1835. Microscopic examination confirmed that the flecks were, indeed, Trichinella spiralis larvae just waiting to be eaten. Rudolph fed his poor unsuspecting canine a large quantity of this infected human muscle tissue. Days later, when he autopsied the now dead dog, he observed the enteral stage (adult worm) in the small intestine, and concluded correctly that trichinella may cause disease in humans, as well. Most importantly, Virchow discovered that if the infected meat is first heated to | 137oF for 10 min, the worms were no longer infective. He experimented vigorously and wrote extensively about the life of this worm (front piece from: Lebre von den Trichinen), and began traveling around the countryside extolling the virtues of eating well-done ham and well-done | [

The country that witnessed the Arab world’s most sweeping revolution is foundering. So is its capital, where a semblance of normality has returned after the chaotic days of the fall of Tripoli last August. But no one would consider a city ordinary where militiamen tortured to death an urbane former diplomat two weeks ago, where hundreds of refugees deemed loyal to Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi waited hopelessly in a camp and where a government official acknowledged that “freedom is a problem.” Much about the scene on Wednesday was lamentable, perhaps because the discord was so commonplace.
“Some of it is really overwhelming,” said Ashur Shamis, an adviser to Libya’s interim prime minister, Abdel-Rahim el-Keeb. “But somehow we have this crazy notion that we can defeat it.”
There remains optimism in Tripoli, not least because the country sits atop so much oil. But Mr. Keeb’s government, formed Nov. 28, has found itself virtually paralyzed by rivalries that have forced it to divvy up power along lines of regions and personalities, by unfulfillable expectations that Colonel Qaddafi’s fall would bring prosperity, and by a powerlessness so marked that the national army is treated as if it | were another militia.
The government could do little as local grievances gave rise last month to clashes in Bani Walid, once a Qaddafi stronghold, and between towns in the Nafusah Mountains, where rival fighters, each claiming to represent the revolution, slugged it out with guns, grenades and artillery.
“It’s a government for a crisis,” Mr. Shamis said, in an office outfitted in the sharp angles of glass and chrome. “It’s a crisis government | [

China telecom equipment makers deny threat to U.S. securityUS-CHINA-USA-HUAWEI-ZTE:China telecom equipment makers deny threat to U.S. security
By Jim Wolf
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Executives from China's top makers of telecommunications gear denied putting hidden spy code into their equipment at a rare public hearing of the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee on Thursday.
The officials from Huawei Technologies Co Ltd and ZTE Corp, rejecting fears that their expansion in the United States poses a security risk, said they operated independently | of the Chinese government.
The congressional panel is wrapping up a nearly year-long investigation into whether the companies' equipment provides an opportunity for greater foreign espionage and threatens critical U.S. infrastructure.

Researchers at Piper Jaffray, including analyst Gene Munster, polled 236 people in line for the iPad 2 when it went on sale last Friday. Launches are usually driven by users upgrading, like last year's launch of the iPhone 4, when just 23 percent of handset buyers were new to the iPhone platform.
But Piper Jaffray's poll found that more than two-thirds of first-day iPad 2 buyers are new to the iPad, suggesting that Apple's touchscreen tablet is attracting many new users with its second-generation model.
"We continue to believe that Apple sold 400k-500 iPad 2s over the weekend," Munster wrote. We note that the weekend number for iPad 2 is essentially a launch day total because stock across retailers was mostly depleted late Friday and not replenished during the weekend."
Munster's numbers are largely in line with other analysts, who expect Apple to sell at least a half-million of the iPad 2 in its launch weekend. At least one more bullish analyst has said investors shouldn't be surprised if Apple sells a million.
Munster has forecast sales of 5.5 million iPads in the March quarter, a number he said is now "likely | conservative" based on strong demand for the iPad 2 in both stores and online. On Saturday, Apple was forced to delay the estimated ship date to as long as a month for new iPad 2 orders via its online store.
The Piper Jaffray survey also found that 47 percent of buyers were purchasing a 3G model, with a $130 premium over the Wi-Fi-only counterparts.
A total of 41 percent surveyed opted for the 32GB model, which was up | [

Hellooo fellow Polkies.
Would rather ask this without getting into the details.. lets just say Im on a very tight budget.
Originally when buying the sub I planned to connect it to my sound card's center/bass jack via Y splitter.. but no matter how I configure the settings I cant get that jack to work. So instead Im using the 2.1 channel jack, assuming this would work fine with the crossover cutting out anything not in the sub's frequency range.
And | it has been working, but not really to my liking. I can hear the thumps coming from the sub long before ever feeling them.. in order to drown out the sound of them I have to turn my speakers wayyyyy above the sub.
