A. Grifter: A lot of intelligent people like Maxx. It appears the reason you don't like him is because he can out argue you warmies. Of course in your case that ain't very hard. Truth to a warmie is like shining a light a cockroach. They scurry to the darkest place they can find.
Jeff M: Who chaired that committee? Al Gore? Or was Paul Ehrlich? Or maybe Mann.We told you from the beginning that there would be a whitewash. You see us denier's predictions come true. The warmies don't. Take that as lesson number 1 in the road to recovery. The fact is he apologized. What did he apologize for if he didn't do anything wrong?
Juicy: East Anglia data was paid for by the taxpayers. It, by law, was public domain. There were many official requests and East Anglia stalled the release of the information which in and of itself is against the law. Now we all know why they did it. They were cooking the books which is a filthy vile act since so many laws are enacted from their reports, opinions and data. But you warmies always figure 'the ends justify the means' which is an old Karl Marx philosophy. You defend liars and snuggle up to corrupt data and yet you expect us to trust you.
Baccheus: Ha! Ha! You gotta be kidding! Chicago? You really thing there is anything legitimate in Chicago? Ha! Ha! I personally repaired slot machines in the Chief of Police's home. Ha! Ha! You ought to go to Hollywood, they need comedy writers.
Ian: Yes that sick SOP is the way of life of these warmies. Funny how they embrace known liars.
Juicy: Why should we put out a 'Freedom of Information' when we paid for the data? They were under contract to freely provide the information. Their reports based on this fraudulent information was the kick start for a lot of environmental legislation. Our legislatures enacted laws based on outright lies. And that doesn't upset you? It shows just what low morals the warmies have.
What lie have I ever told on this site? You statement is just another warmie fabrication.

Q.
A. According to a 1995 study, increasing the consumption of dark green, leafy vegetables appears to offer some protection against macular degeneration. Because nutritional factors may play a role in AMD, researchers decided to correlate the disease with dietary antioxidant intake in subjects participating in the NIH Eye Disease Case-Control Study (Seddon JM et al. JAMA. 1994; 272: 1413-1420).
The investigators found that higher intakes of carotenoids were associated with a reduced risk of wet (exudative neovascular) macular degeneration.
The carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin were the most strongly associated with reduced risk of MD. These are obtained primarily from dark green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, collard greens, kale, mustard greens, and turnip greens. Eating spinach and collard greens five or more times a week was found to noticeably reduce the risk of MD. Other conclusions from the study were:
1. The intake of retinol (preformed vitamin A) supplements showed no effect on MD.
2. Vitamin C from food intake had little effect.
3. Vitamin E actually showed negative effects.
In addition to their antioxidant mechanism, lutein and zeaxanthin may help to protect the retina for any or all of the following reasons:
1. They may protect against photodamage of the retina by filtering out blue light, which is not stopped by the cornea and lens, and which can damage the retina over time;
2. They may protect against peroxidation of fatty acids in the photoreceptor membrane; and
3. They may protect the blood vessels that supply the macular region.
Daily amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin are generally recommended at 20 mg of lutein and 6-10 mg of zeaxanthin. Lutein is easily available on the market in the recommended amount, either alone or as part of several brands of multi-supplements. Zeaxanthin is available in a single pill containing the recommended amount by only one company, ZeaVision (www.zeavision.com), which owns the patent. Other companies, however, offer zeaxanthin in pills containing up to 4 mg each, either alone (see www.swansonvitamins.com) or in combination with 30 mg of Vitamin C to assist in absorption (see www.biosyntrx.com). These 4 mg dosages can be safely doubled or tripled to obtain recommended amounts.
On April 7, 2004 the North Chicago VA Medical Center issued a press release announcing that lutein has been shown to not only help prevent, but to actually reverse symptoms of ARMD. According to the release, "The LAST study (Lutein Antioxidant Supplementation Trial) is the first trial to record actual improvement in several key visual functions among patients with AMD." The data was published in the April issue of Optometry - The Journal of the American Optometric Association. Stuart Richer, O.D., Ph.D., chief of optometry at the North Chicago VA Medical Center and associate professor at the Illinois College of Optometry, was the LAST lead investigator. He was quoted as saying that lutein is "by no means a cure for AMD, [but] the study does show improvement among several disease symptoms in AMD patients."
The press release went on to say that, "in the study, 90 AMD patients were supplemented daily with an OcuPower supplement capsule containing 10 mg of crystalline FloraGLO lutein, 10 mg lutein plus a mixed antioxidant formula, or placebo for 12 months. The average American ingests one to two mg of lutein daily. . . Patients ingesting the lutein supplement experienced significant improvements in several objective measurements of visual function including glare recovery, contrast sensitivity, and visual acuity vs. placebo. Patients also experienced a 50% increase in macular pigment density relative to those on placebo."

Hard Drive Data Recovery Made Easy with Unstoppable Copier Software
Posted by Raj on August 1, 2007 · Filed under Windows, Tools/Utils/Hacks, Software/Apps, Unix/Linux
Tags: Data Recovery, Unstoppable Copier
Recovering files from disks of your laptops, servers and personal computers with bad sectors, badly damaged disk, scratches and boot sector failures has become easy with a free tool called Unstoppable Copier. The tool does its great job of recovering files and folders from bad disks by ignoring all the error messages that one would have otherwise encountered while using standard ways and tools to retrieve data from damaged disks. The advantage of using this approach is that some types of files can still be used even if some parts at the end of it could not be retrieved due to extensive damage of sectors on the disk. You may no longer have to look for a data recovery service.
Unstoppable Copier
This free data recovery tool has some great features which are not even found in some professional tools.
* You can change the level of data recovery, from extensive to skipping damaged files completely.
* The data recovery process can be paused and resumed.
* Logging can be enabled to record details on transfered files, their integrity and offsets of any errors.
* Multiple directories structures or single files can be dragged and dropped onto unstoppable copier for transfer.
* Support for multiple foreign languages such as English,German, Italian,French, Spanish, Russian, Turkish, Hungarian and Polish. However, the Linux version of this data recovery tool does not support these many languages.

What is OpenDNS?
OpenDNS was launched in July 2006 by hacker/entrepreneur David Ulevitch. It received venture capital funding from Minor Ventures, which is led by CNET founder Halsey Minor.
On July 10, 2006, the service was covered by digg[1], Slashdot[2], and Wired News[3], which resulted in an increase of DNS requests from just over one million requests on July 9 to 30 million on July 11.[4].
On October 2, 2006, OpenDNS launched Phishtank, an online collaborative anti-phishing database.
In 2006, OpenDNS began using the DNS Update API from DynDNS to handle updates from users with dynamic IPs.[5]
Since January 2007, OpenDNS provides geographically distributed servers in Seattle, Palo Alto, New York, Washington, D.C., London, with planned expansions to Chicago and Hong Kong.
On June 11th, 2007, OpenDNS started advanced web filtering to optionally block adult content for their free accounts.
[edit] Services
OpenDNS offers DNS resolution for consumers and businesses as an alternative to using their Internet service provider's DNS servers. By placing company servers in strategic locations and employing a large cache of the domain names, DNS queries are usually processed much more quickly[6], thereby increasing page retrieval speed. DNS query results are sometimes cached by the local operating system and/or applications, so this speed increase may not be noticeable with every request, but only with requests that are not stored in a local cache.
Other features include a phishing filter and typo correction (for example, typing wikipedia.og instead of wikipedia.org). By collecting a list of malicious sites, OpenDNS blocks access to these sites when a user tries to access them through their service. OpenDNS recently launched Phishtank, where users around the world can submit and review suspected phishing sites.

OpenDNS is not, as its name might seem to imply, open source software.
OpenDNS earns a portion of its revenue by sending the user to an OpenDNS search page when a domain name that he has entered is not valid. Advertisements are displayed on this search page to help fund the operations of OpenDNS. While this behavior is similar to VeriSign's previous Site Finder, OpenDNS states that it is not the same, as OpenDNS is purely an opt-in service (compared to Site Finder's effect on the entire Internet, as VeriSign is an authoritative registry operator)[7] and that the advertising revenue pays for the customized DNS service[8].
According to OpenDNS, additional services that run on top of its enhanced DNS service will be provided, and some of them may cost money[8].
One example of such an added service was the company's April 22, 2007 launch[9] of "shortcuts", letting users make custom DNS mappings, such as mapping "mail" to "mail.yahoo.com". This feature launch was covered by a large number of publications, including the New York Times[10], Wired[11], and PC World[12].
