Leech - LoveToKnow 1911 It is doubtful whether the medicinal leech, Hirudo medicinalis, which is rarer in England than on the continent of Europe, or the horse leech, Aulastoma gulo, often confused with it, has the best right to the original possession of this name. Leeches without biting jaws possess a protrusible proboscis, and generally engulf their prey, as does the horse leech when it attacks earthworms. Leeches are usually olive green to brown in colour, darker patches and spots being scattered over a paler ground. www.1911encyclopedia.org /Leech   (3429 words)

The Mind's Eye: The Body Leech (Prestige Class) This essentially means that she adds the level of body leech to the level of whatever manifesting class the character has, then determines power points per day, powers known, and manifester level accordingly. The body leech also must have a living creature trapped in a stasis cocoon or a greater stasis cocoon that is within the maximum distance of link range (see Table: Cocoon Drains); the leech must designate the trapped creature as her host for the cheat death power. This requires a standard action and the leech must touch the new host; the previous host remains trapped in its cocoon, but immediately ceases to be the cheat death host, no matter where it is in relation to the body leech. www.wizards.com /default.asp?x=dnd/psm/20040925a   (1958 words)

NOW Foods - 12.18.03 -- Leech Therapy Relieves Symptoms of Osteoarthritis Leech saliva is known to contain substances that thin blood and reduce inflammation. Leech therapy involved a single application of four to six medicinal leeches to the arthritic knee.

Heavy Air Sailing The center of resistance is a point on the centerboard where the sideways resistance can be focused. Most Lightnings are set-up with the center of resistance forward of the center of effort because the boat goes faster with a weather helm in light to moderate conditions. A secondary consideration to the movement of the center of resistance is the decrease of exposed surface area of the board. www.lightningclass.org /Articles/heavy.html   (1300 words)

Leech for Champions Leech experienced a short-lived happiness as the foster son of Annalee until the enigmatic figure called Mister Sinister sent the Marauders to wipe out the Morlock community. Leech, however, was saved by his friends in Power Pack and by the members of X-Factor.

BitTorrent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A leech is usually a peer who has a negative effect on the swarm by having a very poor share ratio - in other words, downloading much more than they upload. Most leeches are users on asymmetric internet connections and do not leave their BitTorrent client open to seed the file after their download has completed. However, some leeches intentionally avoid uploading by using modified clients or excessively limiting their upload speed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Bittorrent   (5329 words)

Leech: The Medicaid: Kiss-Up Lines With Street Whispers, the Leech has learned to simply drop a comment in the presence of, say, an orderly, without even looking at them, as if you were just muttering to yourself and didn't even realize they were there or that you were speaking aloud. Leeches using this Kiss-Up Line tend to froth at the mouth like a rabid animal, waving their arms and glaring about them. In truth, when another Leech writes a supposed `prescription', they're just signing their secret name and jotting down a quick code as to your symptoms; when you take this to your local Trematore pharmacurgist, he looks at it and prescribes something that'll cover over your symptoms and perpetuate the myth. www.mortijingle.com /leech/kiss-up.html   (8843 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) More expensive options include Um (for resistance), Ber (for damage reduction), Cham (cannot be frozen) or Jah (increase maximum life 5%). If he's covered for leech, resistance and damage reduction are the best mods to look for - though of course, you can never have too much leech. Also, he gets more resistance each level, so resistance on his equipment is not quite as important as it is on yours. home.cfl.rr.com /falsemyrmidon/gear.txt   (800 words)

Talk:BitTorrent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [http://www.torrentbits.org/ Torrentbits.org] - A torrent tracker with leech resistance. Also another reason for accidental leeching might be firewall or port-mapping rules the user is unaware of, either in their Linksys-or-whatever router or a VoIP terminal adapter. Since he was never further interested in the tracker and only wanted to leech that one torrent, he obviously doesn't have to worry about the ratio rules anyway so this type of user is not interesting in a discussion on the possibility of everyone to have a 1.0 ratio. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Talk:BitTorrent   (12235 words)

Meteorb Guide (2nd ed) - Diablo 2 Forums The reason is that your energy shield absorbs elemental damage before your resistances are checked, meaning that your mana bulb is drained in absolutely no time, especially with a low energy build like this. Resistance jewels (up to 15% to all) are very popular and can come with a useful second modifier - don't waste them in your shield, though, where a perfect diamond is better (19%) and cheaper. Rare armors are not that attractive, and though there are many valuable unique and set armors, there isn't one perfect choice for this slot between them, as is the case for the helm and weapon. forums.diabloii.net /showthread.php?t=130054   (9338 words)

Bit Torrent...Astroppo.com By uploading parts of the file while it is downloading, each node inevitably contributes to the distribution of the file -- in fact, nodes with high upload bandwidth are also automatically connected to more nodes to download the file from. As the name implies, leech resistance reduces the impact of people who wish to download the file as quickly as possible and then disconnect without helping to upload the file to others. Furthermore, the standard eDonkey2000 protocol provides little "leech resistance" -- there are no benefits in providing upload bandwidth, just a UL:DL speed ratio when the upload speed is below 10 kB/s. www.astroppo.com /bit-torrent.htm   (1166 words)

Discover the Wisdom of Mankind on bittorrent   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) BitTorrent gives the best download performance to the people who upload the most, a property known as "leech resistance", since it discourages "leechers" from trying to download the file without uploading it to anyone. Most leeches are users on asynchronous internet connections who through either ignorance or choice do not leave their BitTorrent client open to seed the file after their download has completed. However, some leeches intentionally hurt the swarm to avoid uploading by using modified clients or excessively limiting their upload speed. www.blinkbits.com /blinks/bittorrent   (4921 words)

Venture Chronicles: BitTorrent: VC's Wanted - If podcasting is getting millions, BitTorrent deserves more   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) In the case of BT, there is leech resistance built into the network that increases bandwidth as a user uploads files thereby rewarding users who contribute rather than simply take. BT is also an incredibly unique P2P network because of the way that it is architected, which guarantees high performance as network load increase because files are distributed through random paths and reassembled by the client. As users join BT the aggregate bandwidth increases and the aforementioned leech resistance ensures that bandwidth is provisioned rationally to the users that provide the greatest value to the network by increasing it's content. sapventures.typepad.com /main/2005/08/bittorrent_vcs_.html   (399 words)

Diablo 2 - Strategy Compendium - Diablo II - Barbarian Strategies -- LAGMonsteR-OD Barbarians need a lot of life and resistance, since they are close combat characters. However in my opinion Natural Resistance is more important then this skill, so once available I would put most if not all my skill points to Natural Resistance for awhile. If your resistance given by items is low then you might want to upgrade Natural Resistance as much as you can as fast as you can. www.diabloii.net /strategy/d2articles/barb-LAGMonster.shtml   (1816 words)

News From Camp - Week 6 The guano on the floor was quite active with beetles, and a junction room with large fruit bats also hosts a questing leech, causing Steve to reroute the survey though some stal into a flowstone balcony overlooking a pit. Disappointment forgetten, he ran back to collect his gear, the survey tape and his booty buddies, and they were all soon running doen borehole setting stations as fast as they could. I said something obscene that got Andrea's attention and scrambled back to a relatively "leech free" area."

[decentralization] RE: 802.11a/X2 108mbps evals   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) There's a bunch of confusing and complex stuff in MN that goes far afield from the basic forwarding and per-link accounting idea of DSR. I don't think the problem for ad-hoc wireless networks -- the topic at hand -- is fairly described as "leech resistance"; rather, the provision of ubiquitous link options on practical terms. (Based on empirical evidence, I also doubt that "leech resistance" is very important for P2P file sharing networks, but that's another issue.) - Gojomo www.seattlewireless.net /pipermail/dev/2001-October/004582.html   (186 words)
