The Secrets of Viruses and Bacteria, Evolution to Epidemic
You could almost say that Shannon Bennett's career as a virologist found her after she became infected with parasites while on a volunteer stint in Liberia during her college years. She was fascinated by the experience to the point that she has been on a quest to understand the secrets, the life cycle and evolutionary history of viruses and bacteria ever since. Hear about her research as she discusses fascinating examples from her work such as how the dengue virus continues to evolve and plague humans since jumping over from non-human primates decades ago. Learn how this virus has adapted to humans and the mosquitoes that have in turn become so well adapted to us. With these questions, Dr. Bennett's work broadens the Academy's research scope to include a dedicated focus on viruses and bacteria. As you will discover, she is especially interested in the nature of genetic mutations that give viruses the potential to cause epidemics or switch to new hosts.
Dr. Bennett is the Academy's first ever Associate Curator of Microbiology. In this new position, she will broaden the Academy's research scope to include a dedicated focus on viruses and bacteria. Her specialty lies in infectious diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans.

All the Single Ladies
In her November 2011 cover story in The Atlantic "All the Single Ladies," Kate Bolick asserts that "recent years have seen an explosion of male joblessness and a steep decline in men's life prospects that have disrupted the "romantic market" in ways that narrow a marriage-minded woman's options," to deadbeats and playboys. But amid this strange state of affairs, Bolick sees an opportunity to "acknowledge the end of "traditional" marriage as society's highest ideal." One of The Atlantic's most-talked-about stories in recent years, Bolick discusses her article and subsequent public reaction with Hanna Rosin, a senior editor at The Atlantic and author of the book End of Men; and Garance Franke-Ruta, a senior editor at The Atlantic.
Kate Bolick is a contributing editor at The Atlantic, culture editor of Veranda, and contributes regularly to Elle, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Slate, among other publications. Her November 2011 Atlantic cover story, "All the Single Ladies," about the social and economic trends shaping America's current romantic landscape, drew more than 1 million readers to The Atlantic's web site, earned 50K "likes" on Facebook, is the magazine's most responded-to article of 2011, and was optioned by Sony for a TV series.
Garance Franke-Ruta is the politics editor of TheAtlantic.com, but when she's not trying to understand the mysterious charm of Rick Santorum or why Newt Gingrich would post a picture of himself jauntily posing in front of Auschwitz, she's maintained a sideline in writing about women in politics.
Hanna Rosin is a contributing editor at The Atlantic and founder and co-editor of DoubleX, Slate's women's section, for which she does a bi-weekly podcast. Rosin is the author of The End of Men: And the Rise of Women and God's Harvard: A Christian College on a Mission to Save America.

Gaming the System: Doping in Sports
The incredible feats that athletes accomplish fascinate us, but what are the personal, cultural and athletic impact of doping in sports?
After the Olympic Games and just prior to the America's Cup World Series in San Francisco, swissnex San Francisco will kick off its series Sports & Tech with the event Gaming the System: Doping in Sports, focusing on the controversial and omnipresent use of performance enhancers in sports.
Max Gassman tells us about his research on the hormone erythropoietin (EPO), which elevates red cell blood production and increases arterial oxygen, ultimately leading to improved exercise performance. Gassman will explain how EPO, normally used to treat patients who suffer from anemia, is also an effective blood-doping agent used by some athletes. He presents his data on mice and the adaptive mechanisms of humans who live at elevations above 3000 meters, where the reduced availability of oxygen induces the production of EPO.
Carsten Lundby of the University of Zurich presents his research on blood doping in the sporting world. This common practice has been around for at least half a century, and Lundby discusses its effects and attempts by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to detect and limit blood doping, as well as whether they have been successful.
Finally, John Gleaves from California State University, Fullerton, addresses how the cultural fascination with performance-enhancing technologies, manifesting itself as both fear and enthusiasm, reveals larger social concerns about what it means to be human and how to handle advances in sciences that affect sporting performance. Because sports mirror our society, our interest in doping tells us more about ourselves than we realize.
Kate Scott, sports anchor at KNBR 680 AM in San Francisco, joins us as the moderator for the panel discussion.

Adam Savage of MythBusters: Why We Make
MythBusters co-host Adam Savage discusses his childhood experiences as a budding builder, and explores the impetus that lies at the heart of maker culture.
Adam Savage has spent his life gathering skills that allow him to take what's in his brain and make it real. He's built everything from ancient Buddhas to futuristic weapons, from spaceships to dancing vegetables, from fine art sculptures to animated chocolate and just about anything else you can think of.
The son of a filmmaker/painter and psychotherapist, Savage has been making his own toys since he was allowed to hold scissors. Having held positions as a projectionist, animator, graphic designer, carpenter, interior and stage designer, toy designer, welder, and scenic painter, he's worked with every material and process he could get his hands on - metal, paper, glass, plastic, rubber, foam, plaster, pneumatics, hydraulics, animatronics, neon, glassblowing, mold making and injection molding, to name just a few.
Today, in addition to co-hosting Discovery Channel's "MythBusters," Savage teaches advanced model making, most recently in the industrial design department at the San Francisco Academy of Art. Somehow, he also finds time to devote to his own art - his sculptures have been showcased in over 40 shows in San Francisco, New York and Charleston, W.Va.

The Evolution and Diversity of Amphibians
Please join us in welcoming one of our newest curators as Dr. David Blackburn joins us as an assistant curator on the herpetology team in the Academy's research division. An explorer of biodiversity, Dr. Blackburn studies the evolution and diversity of amphibians, especially frogs on continental Africa. Nearly 90% of the 6,800 known species of amphibians are frogs. Their diversity and distribution make them prime research subjects for investigating larger questions about the history and movement of life within Africa and the origins and evolution of natural variation. His research involves both extensive use of museum collections and field expeditions. His passion for the people and wildlife of Africa has taken him to diverse habitats in many African countries, most recently in the mountains of Burundi and soon to the desert oases of North Africa.
David C. Blackburn is Assistant Curator of Herpetology research at the California Academy of Sciences.
Blackburn's research include deep-time historical biogeography and phylogeography of continental Africa, with study of biodiversity in diverse habitats including mountains, tropical forests, and Saharan oases; evolution of morphological diversity in amphibians, including morphological novelty, developmental and functional morphology, and patterns of ecomorphological change; and systematics of frogs from sub-Saharan Africa, with descriptions of new species and estimation of phylogenetic relationships using molecular and morphological data.

National Security Secrecy and Surveillance
The scale of government secrecy and surveillance has surpassed all previous boundaries—especially in the national security arena, where the budgets, size and scope of intelligence agencies have ballooned since 9/11. Unprecedented secrecy is largely evading traditional oversight mechanisms, leaving policy makers, the media, and the public in the dark.
What impact are secret governmental operations having on our democratic processes, and are the decisions that are being made behind closed doors helping or harming our national security? What tools are available to penetrate this secrecy, foster a new culture of government accountability, and impose enforceable constraints on intrusive surveillance of innocent Americans?
These questions will be explored by a distinguished panel consisting of high-profile government whistleblowers, key plaintiffs and litigators from headline Freedom of Information Act cases, and expert journalists who have followed the evolution of the national security state for years. Each will offer insights informed by their own direct encounters with national security secrecy and surveillance.

The Secrets of James Dyson, Inventor Extraordinaire
James Dyson, Inventor & Chief Engineer of Dyson talks with WIRED's Shoshana Berger about engineering, entrepreneurship, and the economy.
Complete video available for free at http://fora.tv/2012/05/01/WIRED_Business_Conference_Inventing_Sucks
A graduate of London's Royal College of Art, James Dyson was drawn to engineering principles from an early age. The company he founded in 1993 creates products—like bagless vacuum cleaners, bladeless fans, and high-speed hand dryers—that work in completely new ways. Dyson now employs 3,600 people and has sales of over $1.5 billion. James Dyson, whose first invention was a high-speed landing craft, describes his process as "Edisonian." In 1979, during a visit to a local sawmill, he noticed how large cyclones removed sawdust from the air. Frustrated with his vacuum cleaner's habit of losing suction as the bag filled, he went home and rigged it with a crude cardboard cyclone. Over 5,000 prototypes later, the Dyson DCO1 vacuum cleaner was launched and became a sensation. Today, Dyson is the market leader in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. James Dyson continues to work alongside his team of engineers and scientists, developing new technologies to solve everyday problems.

Fishing in MontaukEven though the beaches are cold and empty, the fishing is heating up in Montauk. People have been flocking to "The End" of Long Island for the 2013 cod season, which has been particularly strong and is heading into its prime time.
"The cod fishing has been much better this year because it's colder. Last year it dropped off because of the warm weather," says Carl Darenberg, owner of the Montauk...

"XP 15 with lots of problems"
I purchased a "Top of the Line" xp 15 Series unit 2.5 tonnes in August 2007. Since that time, I have had a technician at my home 4 times. Every time the season changes, there is a problem. Have spent almost $1700 on a product that cost me $7000 installed. Consumer affairs in Texas is of no help, if you can stand calling a long distance number and being on wait for 30 minutes. Their "premier service" provider in Montreal called Guaranteed Industries did nothing to champion my cause. It appears from the bills that there are lots of expansion valves being changed and now it is the ambient temperature sensor. All in all a very poor quality.

"Lennox XP19 - Satisfied So Far"
Last summer, we replaced a 16 year-old York air conditioner with a Lennox xp19 heat pump. We kept our propane fired Weil-Mclain boiler as supplemental and back up heat and had electric resistance heat installed in the air handler in case the price of propane jumps again. So far, we are very satisfied with the Lennox heat pump. It's too early to run the economics but high temperature in the last 2 days have been in the mid to upper 20s and the heat pump appears to be sufficient to keep up. Propane supplemental heat comes on in the morning when the set back goes off, but isn't generally needed beyond that. We have the air handler set to run in continuous low mode, which seems to keep room temperatures uniform. My wife and I find the house to be more comfortable than last winter but can't put our finger on why. The only change is the heat pump, so it seems to deserve the credit. I have supplemental propane heat locked out if the outdoor temperature is above 30, and am still experimenting with what outdoor temperature to set the heat pump lock out at. Lennox engineering documents indicate that the xp19 has a CoP of 2.9 to 3.0 into the teens, so I'll try to keep it running as long as I can. With a CoP of 3, heating cost should be close to 1/3 of past bills before accounting for supplemental heat. The system's only 6 months old, so time will tell but we're satisfied so far.

I am a service tech and I work on alot of differant brands of equiptment. I agree with everyone else saying there is no excuse in new systems breaking down. I think alot of this is caused by improper installation. Units today are not like systems of the past which had fixed pistons instead of expansion valves, and relays instead of circit boards. Alot of compressor and expansion valve failure is due to not vacumming air out before turning freon loose. Not running small amount of nitrogen through system while brazing to prevent oxidation and flaking inside the copper tubing which will clog TXVs and stainers. And not having proper static pressure running through airhandler by not sizing duct properly. These things you see are not things caused by who makes the system. The best thing you can do is make these suggestions to you installer before its put in. Sometimes you do get what you pay for by going with the cheaper service provider

"Get what you pay for"
We bought out home three years ago and our gas bill for the first winter was $340 a month. I Was livid. It was the original unit(8yrs. old) and was a low-mid grade 10 seer contractor grade Carrier. We bought a Lennox signature series 19 seer Heat pump with a 2 stage motor.Our gas bill went down $200 the next winter and our electric bill also took a nice dip as well. It comes with 10 yr parts and compressor warranty and it was well worth the money spent. 10 thousand For an entire new system, heat pump,furnace,a-coil,humidifier and thermostat. Runs smooth and quiet. My neighbors unit drowns out the sound mine makes. His was replaced last year with a Trane, and is 15 feet away from my unit.For those who had problems with their Lennox units all I can say is mine is tip top, and I had a top notch installer. You get what you pay for.

Very few problems. I bought one of their top models (High seer rating). The biggest repair was to seal a hole in the air-handler coils three years back, for a total cost of $380. Other than that there have been about 4 service inspections over the 18 years. Those have resulted in minor additional charges - if any.

The 2 stage operations also keep our home a lot more comfortable. Keeps the humidity at around 50%. The electric bills are around $150-170 during the heat of the summer for a 2100 sq ft pier and beam home. I had two small repairs to it this summer but nothing major. Would buy another one!!

"HP22-511-1P a few bumps but nothing major"
The unit was 6 years old when we moved in and initially just needed the correct fuses since ours were undersized. Worked great. 2 years later, simply needed a relay swapped out since the condensor would not shut off. 2 years after that, it needed the delay timer swapped out. Each time, only a bit of freon was needed so no leaks! A few months ago, it got a lil more expensive ($400) because we needed a new fan but at 13 yrs old, I wasn't surprised. Our avg monthly electric bill on a 2800 sqft house (all electric) with 20x40 swimming pool in Louisiana has only been $270 so I can't complain about that.

text: Recreational fishers in the Challenger area will soon benefit from more standardised rules.From 01 October, the minimum legal size of sand flounder will become 25cm instead of 23 cm – standardising it with the other seven species of flatfish in the area. Alongside this, the amateur set net minimum mesh size for red moki will go from 115mm to 114mm to standardise this with the set net rule for blue moki. The amateur set net minimum mesh size for butterfish will go from 108mm to 100mm – to standardise this with the majority of other finfish species.Central Inshore Fisheries Manager for the Ministry of Fisheries, Dan Lees, says the rule changes translate to good old common sense. "It makes life simpler for fishers and makes it easier to just apply the rules and do what they enjoy doing best – fishing." "By having one standard size for all flatfish, it'll be a lot more obvious if the fish is undersized and should be thrown back to the sea. "Taking away the 1mm mesh size in terms of the difference between blue and red moki also allows for more fishing opportunities to those wanting to fish in the area. "Given the constraint of only one net per vessel at any one time, fishers will have a smaller range to choose from and will be able to catch two types of fish with the net instead of one." Dan says the reduction in net size for butterfish will also help simplify the current amateur fishing rules. "We make every effort to ensure we have rules that work for the majority – while still protecting the sustainability of our fisheries." The Challenger Fishery Management Area runs from Awarua on the West Coast north around the top of the South Island to Clarence on the South Island's east coast.

For all you paranormal readers, you might want to write down Karen's name as she writes paranormal stories - vampires to be specific. Her newest book, Angel of Death, is the first in the Chosen Chronicles series:
The Vampires of London are being murdered and only the Angel of Death can save them. When Father Paul Notus is captured and threatened with a gruesome death by the Mistress of London and her Vampires, the Angel is forced into a dark world of murder and deception to discover who is killing the Vampires of Britain.Leah: Yes, I know, I'm not supposed to ask this question since an author is supposed to love all their books equally but ...what's your favourite of all the books you've written?
Forced into a partnership with the Noble Fernando de Sagres, a vampire of sadistic tastes, and joined by the beautiful and mortal Jeanie Stuart, the Angel seeks out who is behind these killings.
Plagued by demons from his past and his increasing affections for Jeanie, the Angel walks a fine line between his heart and his fears. He discovers the culprits but at a high cost - the irrevocable discovery of what he truly is and the Destruction of one he loves.
Karen: I've written two books: 'Changeling: Prelude to the Chosen' and 'Angel of Death: Book One of the Chosen'. They are currently being sold together in one volume. As to which book was my favourite to write, I would have to say both, mainly because I initially wrote them as one book before they were broken into two.
I love origin stories, and for me writing the Angel's origin in 'Changeling' was a lot of fun. I just dived in there and let the story flow. It was hard at first just to keep to the salient points of his life. I could have easily gone and made it longer and more detailed, but it would not have flowed as well as it does.
Angel of Death is the meat of the story, where I really had to chew things over many times before I put fingers to laptop. What I also really enjoyed about this portion of the story was going further into the development of the Angel and his relationships. Here I was able to explore aspects of the Angel that I only touched upon in Changeling. The amounts of research I did even led me to visit London, England, and Wales.
Leah: Oh, man, you got to visit London and Wales for your research? If you have to go again, do you need an assistant? Would you take me?
Karen: Of course, I'd love to take you with me. I'll even pay all your expenses.
Leah: Wheee!
Oh, all right, I admit it, I made up Karen's answer. *pouts* Here's the next question: Did one book give you more trouble than the others? (Hmm, I think maybe my readers might be sensing a theme since I've asked this question before, LOL. There is one. Writing is HARD!)
Karen: Yes. Angel of Death gave me more difficulty to write because I didn't want to finish it! I loved writing it so much that I didn't want the story to end so I ended up getting 'stuck' for quite some time until Shadow of Death started percolating in my mind. Once I knew I had another book in the series I could write, I could finish Angel of Death.
There was another part that also halted me from finishing it at first. There is a very intensely violent scene towards the end that shook me up. I did not know how to write it in a way that would allow the Angel to keep his dignity. It took a lot of time to run through the scene in my mind (several times and renditions) before I could finally write it out. I'm glad that I finally did. Once I got past that point I was able to keep going.
Leah: I'm betting that if it shook you up, it'll definitely shake up the reader. Here's another question I've been told off for asking but being the obstinate, um, child I am ... who's been your favourite character to write?
Karen: Hands down it would have to be the Angel. After all the crux of the story revolves around him. There are aspects of him that just drew me and pulled those aspects of myself out. I also think that he represents the shadow side of ourselves that we tend not to deal with, but for him he must deal with them every moment of every night. Essentially he is haunted by the eternal question 'who am I?'
Leah: I think I'm still asking myself that question. What's your biggest distraction when writing?
Karen: I would have to say my full time job. Currently I am an office administrator for an Ophthalmology clinic. By the time I come home to feed the family and spend time with them I'm completely pooped. I keep saying that my job has gotten in the way of my career and it's so true. I live for the day when I can stay home and write. I hope that happens soon, because I'm already getting fans nudging me to get the next novel out! LOL!
Leah: I am in awe of writers who work full-time and still manage to complete a novel. Then you throw in the amount of time and effort it takes to promote the book, and ... well, let's just say I have to wonder how you ever find time to sleep.
If one of my readers were sitting reading this, thinking, I'd love to write or I've been writing a book, what advice would you give them?
Karen: Very simply...the Publishing Industry is changing whether the big Publishing Houses like it or not. Authors no longer need the validation of these houses to see their books in print. Basically the publishing industry is going the way of the music industry and I'm happy for it. This means if you really and truly want to become a success as a novelist...write and write a lot. Emulate the masters of your time (not previous times) and develop your own style. But writing a novel doesn't just end there one MUST be an entrepreneur and wear many hats. The author must be an editor; a graphic artist, a publicist, marketer and accountant…above all the author must be a writer.
Leah: Wow, with all that work to be done, you must indulge in some guilty pleasures occasionally. (I know I do.) So what's your favorite dessert?
Karen: Strawberry shortcake.
Leah: Yum. And now for something completely different - bath or shower?
Karen: Shower. The idea of sitting in murky water as a way to get clean…ewww. Not to mention…a shower is great when your shoulders and neck are sore from too much time on the computer. :)
Leah: Hmm, guess that means you doesn't read in the tub for hours the way I do. There's nothing more relaxing than throwing some nice bath crystals into steaming hot water (I know this terrific place in Peterborough that makes them by hand -- oh, and they're pretty good for soothing sore muscles too), grabbing my favorite book, closing the door against interruptions and voila ... it's Leah time! Oops, hijacked that question didn't I? Sorry, Karen.
Okay, here's another one for you. When you're not writing, what do you like to do just to kick back and relax?
Karen: I LOVE movies…action sci-fi/fantasy/comic movies are the best. Basically give me a guy flick and I'm a happy camper. Favourite movie I can watch over and over….Transformers. My Tech Guru and I often get distracted with Transformer talk all to the dismay of my Publicist, Marketing Manager and Graphic Artist! LOL
Thanks Mike for letting me have Ravage for a while! He's on my desk beating up Jazz! LOL
Leah: Thanks for playing in my sandbox with us today, Karen.
Karen is graciously offering a signed and numbered copy of her book Angel of Death to one lucky commenter today.

A vaginal yeast infection is caused by a yeast fungus called Candida. While yeast is common in the vagina, it can cause irritating symptoms when it grows excessively.
Yeast grows in conditions that are less acidic. Vaginal fluids are most often mildly acidic, but this can change. For example, acid levels can decrease during menstrual flow. "Good" bacteria also help keep vaginal secretions acidic and keep yeast levels in check. Conditions that decrease the good bacteria will also increase the chance of a yeast infection.
Risk Factors
Factors that can increase your chance of a yeast infection include:
- Situations that can cause hormonal changes (eg, birth control pills, pregnancy, menopause, steroid use)
- Broad-spectrum antibiotics
- Diabetes, especially when blood sugar is not well-controlled
- A compromised immune system (eg, HIV)
- Perfumed feminine hygiene sprays, deodorant tampons, or bubble bath
- Tight jeans, synthetic underwear, or a wet swimsuit
- Douching
Tell your doctor if you have any of these symptoms:
- Vaginal itching, ranging from mild to severe
- A clumpy, vaginal discharge that may look like cottage cheese
- Vaginal soreness, irritation, or burning
- Rash or redness on the skin outside the vagina
- Painful urination
- Painful sexual intercourse
Your doctor will:
- Ask you about your medical history and your symptoms
- Do a pelvic exam
- Test vaginal discharge
It is important to see a doctor the first time you have symptoms. Other vaginal infections may have symptoms similar to a yeast infection. These can include bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis.
If you have been diagnosed with a yeast infection, you may be able to recognize the signs of a new infection. In this case, it is safe to use over-the-counter medicine. Talk to your doctor if you are unsure.
Various antifungal medicines are available as intravaginal creams, suppositories, and oral medicine. Some examples include:
- Miconazole nitrate (Monistat)
- Clotrimazole vaginal (Gyne-Lotrimin)
- Butoconazole vaginal (Fem-stat)
- Terconazole vaginal (Terazol)
- Clotrimazole vaginal (Mycelex)
- Fluconazole (Diflucan)
If you are diagnosed with a yeast infection, follow your doctor's instructions.
To help reduce your chance of getting a yeast infection, take the following steps:
- Dry the outside vaginal area thoroughly after a shower, bath, or swim.
- Change out of a wet bathing suit or damp workout clothes as soon as possible.
- Wear cotton underwear.
- Avoid tight-fitting clothing.
- Don't douche unless your doctor tells you to do so; it decreases vaginal acidity.
- If you have diabetes, try to control your blood sugar.
- Avoid bubble baths, perfumed feminine hygiene sprays, and scented soap.
- Avoid frequent or prolonged use of antibiotics if possible.

Perfect Places Vacation Rental Network is excited to announce its $100 Pack Your Bags VISA Gift Card contest on Facebook. Company President Rick Haggart said the contest comes at a time when people are planning their Holiday travel.

Since the $100 VISA Gift Card spends like cash, there are a variety of ways the lucky winner can spend the money.
This contest is one of many sponsored by the company on Facebook. "We're really grateful for all the support we've gotten from our Fans on Facebook," Haggart said. "Contests like this are our way of saying 'Thank You.' "

I'll start with the positives. Staff is very friendly, helpful and they go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. Coffee, hot water... and tea are always available in the lobby 24/7 which is nice. Shower was fantastic. Hot water and the water pressure was strong. Nothing worse than staying in a hotel with low water pressure. Not trying to be funny, but the toilet flush was strong. I've stayed in many a hotel where you do your business and the thing barely flushes and you have to make the embarrassing call to the front desk. Complimentary breakfast buffet had solid options. Fresh waffles, biscuits & gravy, cereal, juice, milk, bagels, pastries, muffins, eggs, oatmeal, fresh fruit, etc. No complaints there. Now for my only cons. The rooms are a little small for the price. I mean, it is only flagstaff, but I've had bigger rooms on the strip in Vegas with a bigger room and the same rate or lower. If you're by yourself, it is more than adequate, but with a wife and 2 kids, it was a little crowded. The only other downside is that the beds were HARD. It all comes down to personal preference. If you like a good firm bed, you will not be disappointed. I'm a pretty big guy, so normally I like my bed to be slightly firm, but at my weight, the bed barely sunk in! Lol. Firm! So depending on what you like, this could be a good or a bad thing. Still, the positives of this place far outweigh the negatives, so I'm comfortable giving this place a 4 out of 5. bởi Jacob từ Phoenix vào 26/04/2013

Your post should contain the name of the game, the date and time and any other details people may need (such as IP addresses). You can submit events at any time. 0 comments | Write Comment PAX East is creeping up on us and it's time to announce the second annual FUN-GINEER meet & eat! On Friday March 22, between 2 and 4 PM*, Android, Digitalfox, Matthias, and I will be sitting in the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center's cafeteria to hang out with any and all FUN-GINEERS. Last year's meet-up was a huge success, so let's make this year's even better! * 2 to 4 is a rough schedule. Last year we said 12 to 2 but ended up departing the cafeteria as a huge group around 1:30. Long story short: It's beneficial to come meet us sooner than later. Post all your PAX East 2013 related photos and stories here! 15 comments | Write Comment This is gonna be just like last year: If you want to get a Steam game or games equaling about $10 and you can buy* a Steam game or games equaling about $10 for the 24th of December, PUT YOUR NAME IN THIS THREAD. Then sometime later this week (probably Saturday or Sunday) when everyone has put there names here, I'll contact you and let you know the (random) person you'll be buying a gift for. Then you'll gift them your $10 worth of games on the 24th of December, hence the "Semi" secretness of the whole situation. We're giving these gifts on the 24th (or before if it's completely necessary). On Steam you can add gifts to your account instead of immediately giving them to someone. So if you see something on sale before the 24th, buy it as a gift to be present'd later. * Be responsible here folks. If you can't buy someone $10 worth of games, don't put your name down. 28 comments | Write Comment The Third Annual Halloween Costume Contest Poll!

Posted by Frothy in Community Events | 08-15-2012 11:35 AM Tonight will be an experiment in our community's ability to work together. Hosting an MvM game will not be as resource friendly as hosting a game of Left 4 Dead or Payday. A 6 man MvM game will take the same CPU power as a 32 man TF2 server. So this evening we will need to cooperate to make sure everyone gets a chance to play this awesome new game mode. First: We will be hosting one server on the hardware the Hidden server is on. It will be password protected (with the usual password) to make sure only folks in mumble will be able to use it. Second: Anyone with the computer power to host a game, should do so. This mode will take a fairly beastly machine, so not everyone can host. There will hopefully be options within the game to start a personal server to make this even easier. Third: This is important. Be patient tonight. Everyone around you will be wanting to play and we cant have folks pushing and shoving. If we manage to get everyone into a game in a calm and orderly manner, everyone will have a better experience. Some important information to keep in mind if you're considering hosting a game tonight: - An MvM server will require about as much CPU usage as a 32-player PvP server. However, the network utilization is significantly lower for obvious reasons. - You actually have to set maxplayers to 32 to host MvM (to make room for all the bots). That's why the mode is expensive CPU-wise, to not only simulate all those players but run their AI logic as well. - Forward your ports or temporarily DMZ your computer. This is required for incoming connections. ----------------------------------------------------------- Let's keep tonight civilized and, most importantly, FUN. 12 comments | Write Comment Introducing The New & Improved TF2 Server
Posted by Frothy in News And Announcements | 07-07-2012 03:13 PM Today we're launching a new and improved Team Fortress 2 server that will replace the server we've been using for the past 3 years. The New York based server boasts smoother performance, better hit registration, and the best quality bandwidth and hardware this side of the Mississippi (probably). So update your favorites and we'll see you on the battlefield!

* Now bring ur beater to slow speed and add the flour mix.Slowly fold the mix and let it get mixed well without any lumps.Dont beat it.Just fold in.Because,if u beat it hard after adding the flour,then your cake wil not rise.
* Cut the cake into cubes and store it in a air tight container.(Sorry for the rough cuts on the cake.Rohith was doing all the mess while he was cutting it).
* The cake will rise upto 1/4 the size.So use a larger pan.
* Pre heat the oven for atleast 20 mins.
* While pouring the batter into the pan,fill it 3/4 the the space as the cake will rise a lot.
*Each oven has different settings,so bake the cake ,untill toothpick comes out clean.

Introducing the "Master Palletizing" robot series - a recent addition to Motoman's arsenal of stackers and packers.
Robot Variety:
The Master Palletizing line-up includes robot models with 80, 100, 160, 300, 500, and 800 kg payload capacities. The MPL80 robot offers compact, 5-axis flexibility, while the other MPL robots are designed with more traditional 4-axis structures.
Expanding Horizons:
Long reach is a necessity for palletizing robots. The four-axis MPL robots possess horizontal and vertical reaches of 3,159mm and 3,024mm respectively. They are capable of turning a full 360 degrees.
It's All in the Wrist:
The six MPL robot models are built to withstand tough palletizing jobs. The robots' wrists in particular offer the best possible moment of inertia performance.
No Tripping Here:
Motoman's MPL robots avoid accidents and cable wear with internally routed cabling and wiring. All four air lines and 22 electric cables are threaded thru the wrist - making for more efficient, reliable material handling.
More Coordination:
An advanced DX100 controller gives the MPL series fine-tuned coordination. A single DX100 controller can orchestrate the movements of as many as eight robots.
Looking for an automated palletizing solution? RobotWorx carries a variety of new and used palletizing robots from Motoman, ABB, Fanuc, OTC, and other robot manufacturers. Call for pricing and availability: 740-251-4312.

Butterless Avocado Brioche
Brioche used to be my favorite bread once upon a non-vegan time and, I admit, I've never quite gotten over it.
There is something magical about a bread with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a crust that's perfectly flaky and brittle. So much so that you cannot but forgive and forget all those calories crammed inside of it.
I hadn't before baked a vegan brioche, and although I had often toyed with the idea of making it with vegan butter, like Earth Balance, I never got around to it.
Until last week when I brought home a bag of perfect avocados.
I needed to think of a way to use them, fast, and I just wasn't in the mood for guacamole. That's when inspiration hit. Avocado brioche!
Avocados are really an excellent substitute for butter because they are high in fat (the good kind, unlike butter) and they have a creamy texture when mashed which is not unlike that of butter.
I googled up some recipes for avocado bread, but all were invariably for sweet breads, which I wasn't looking for. So I decided to improvise on the recipe I'd always used for regular brioche, substituting for the eggs and the butter with two avocados and just two tablespoons of the vegan version of Smart Balance "butter."
Looking back, I wouldn't do anything differently, except, maybe, reduce the baking temperature, because the top fell just a wee bit in the oven. It didn't take away, though, in any way from the beautiful, flaky texture of the brioche, or the amazing flavor. The bread had a lovely golden crust and was an exquisite pale green on the inside.
So here we go with my vegan avocado brioche. It's much healthier than your regular brioche, and tastes just as good. Already it has gone to the top of my list of favorite recipes.
I think this bread will be a great entry for the wonderful Colored Breads event, hosted by Grain Power.
Avocado Brioche
(Makes 12 servings. See detailed nutritional information after recipe)
Mix together in a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer and let stand 5 minutes:
1 package active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1/3 cup almond milk (can use soy milk)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 ripe avocados, mashed until there are no lumps (I put them through a potato ricer which did a perfect job). Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice into the avocado so it remains bright green.
2 tbsp almond or soy milk
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
Mix on low speed or by hand. Then add:
2 1/4 cups bread flour
Mix well until ingredients have blended together. Then, knead by hand for about 15 minutes or on low-medium speed in a stand mixer for about 8-10 minutes. The dough will be smooth and elastic and although it will appear sticky, it won't stick to your fingers.
Add 2 tbsp vegan "butter" like Smart Balance or Earth Balance.
Knead on medium-high speed or by hand until the "butter" is incorporated into the dough.
Place the dough in an oil-coated bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm place for about 1 1/2 hours or until doubled.
Punch the dough down, then cover again and let rise for another 2 hours.
To shape the dough, divide it into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball.
Spray oil on the inside of a standard 9 X 5-inch loaf pan.
Place the four balls of dough touching each other inside the loaf pan. Brush with some olive oil mixed with salt.
Cover loosely with oiled plastic wrap and let rise another hour or until the loaf fills the pan and mushrooms over it.
Brush some more of the olive-oil-salt mixture over the top.
Bake in a 375-degree oven about 30 minutes. (The next time I plan to decrease the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake a little longer, if needed, to prevent the top from heating too fast).

I will be making this; it looks and sounds mouth watering.
When I'm in Vietnam, I live where there is no refrigeration, so we use avocado as butter, which suits me as I a mostly vegan. Just mash the avocado, add a little lime juice (to keep the avocado from discolouring), and add a little salt if you wish. I use it as butter on banh mi (a sandwich made on baguette-type rolls).Hi Vaishali
I worked briefly at the 5th floor of TOI, and I remember you and Desikan clearly. Stumbled upon your blog thru Suranga aunty's (kaimhanta/ugich konitari) and was pleasantly surprised. My wife is a fabulous cook and we are both strict vegetarians (in some countries I travel to, I'm vegan as well), so I am always looking out for recipes for her :)
Shall set up an email feed for her right away!
warm regards
Vikram HazraTruly inspired is the right way to put it! I have put it on my list of must-try recipes. The challenge will be to find ripe avocados. Where I live (US Northeast), you have to buy them 4 or 5 days ahead of the day you want to use them. That requires a lot of planning and I am not always up to it, I'll admit. But I love the idea so much that I will make an effort to be more organized, I will, I will.

I am curious if modesty is defined in the Bible. If not, is modesty subjective to the culture? For example in Africa some tribes have their women go around topless, but for them to wear shorty-shorts would be as scandalous as an American going topless.
Also, what does a swimsuit need to be modest? One church I went to required that guys and girls not even be at the same pool. Another had everyone together with the pastor's daughters in bikinis. What does the Bible say about swimsuits?

What's Inside The Brains Of Songbirds
By Alex Granados and Frank Stasio
Scientists are learning fascinating things by studying songbirds. Sophisticated microscopes are able to see the smallest level of detail in the brain and determine how it changes in response to learning. Researchers at Duke University are using this technology to study the brains of songbirds and determine what implications their findings could have for humans.
Host Frank Stasio talks with Richard Mooney, a professor of neurobiology in the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences; and Todd Roberts, a research associate at the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences.

IWW Launches In Uganda

Friday May 04, 2012 16:24 by Weijagye Justus - IWW
The recent meeting of fellow workers in Uganda to form a Regional Organizational Committee (ROC) was a landmark in the history of the IWW, and the springboard for similar emerging ROCs on the African continent. We put in unending zeal and effort to work not only as a union, but also toward our main goal of abolishing the wage system. As workers of the world, we exist as one people who are in need of each other, and all of whom have the same basic needs. There is far more that unites us than can ever divide us along cultural, nationalistic or religious lines. Together we can create a civilization worth living in. Before that happens we need the conscious cooperation of all workers across the world, united in one common causeto create a world in which each person has free access to the benefits of civilization. A world without frontiers or borders, social classes or leaders and a world in which production is at last freed from the artificial shackles of profit and used for the good of humanity. A world in which an individual contributes according to his or her ability and takes from society according to ones self-determined need. Through the IWW, we must bring awareness of this class war to our fellow workers worldwide. Our objective is to obtain what is not currently in the possession of our class the earth and its natural and industrial resources. The class war between the parasites who possess without working and the workers who produce without possessing is the real struggle that concerns us. As workers, our battle is to win the hearts and minds of the worlds people. Once we unite, there will be no force that will stop us from taking the earth into our common possession, consequently abolishing capitalism and the wage system that turns us workers into mere commodities for sale on the market. The case for the abolition of capitalism must stay on our agenda until capitalism is abolished. |

Here's where the girl/wolf/vampire triangle comes in
Jacob Black, played by the supremely sculpted Taylor Lautner, is Quileute and has a gene that causes him to shape-shift into a wolf when vampires are in town. His friendship with Bella deepened when Edward left, and his feelings turn romantic.
He makes a strong case for Bella's affections, and by "Eclipse" has the girl so confused she winds up kissing him. To be fair, she was worried about what would happen to him in a standoff between the Cullens and a new army of vamps created by a vengeful Victoria. (She was out for Bella's blood ever since Edward killed her lover James in "Twilight.")
But even after that, Jacob still gets second place to Edward, whom Bella agrees to marry.
The birth from "Twilight" hell
Bella and Edward didn't have sex until after they got married because of Edward's old-fashioned ways (the guy's been around since 1901, after all). Plus he was worried he'd crush her to death in the heat of the moment. (Again, with the romance.)
The deal was to turn Bella into a vampire after she tied the knot, but they hold off a bit so she can experience her wedding night without the distraction of unquenchable bloodthirst.
After Edward swept Bella away to a family-owned island for their honeymoon, the sex "Twilight" fans devoured three books and three movies for finally happens. Bella's bruised, but satisfied ... and also pregnant.
Through some technicalities that were never covered in our sex education class, Bella and Edward made a hybrid baby, which means the part-vampire fetus slowly kills her from the inside. In what some have read as an anti-abortion plotline, Bella insists on keeping her baby against the wishes of loved ones, including Edward. The majority of "Breaking Dawn -- Part I" chronicles Bella's torturous pregnancy, which demands that she drink a steady diet of blood .... even before she actually becomes a vampire.
OK, you're caught up now

Dear Lauri,
Last night I dreamt that an unknown man was taking my 9 year old son away from me. We were in my house. He was carrying my son down the stairs from my second story. My son was crying. I was chasing after the man and shouting in anger. I can't remember what I was saying to the man. The man did not have a face. I do recall feeling like I did not know the man. – Ellen 41, Red Lion, PA
Lauri: Your son is growing faster than you would like and that man taking him away from you is life! Life kidnaps our children. Seemingly in the blink of an eye our pudgy, little munchkins are pulled away from us and there is nothing we can do about it. This is a common dream that was triggered by a milestone in your son's life. I assume he just started 4th grade? That could be the milestone, unless there is anything else that happened recently that made you realize how big he is getting and how much less he needs you?
Ellen replies: Oh my! He just went into 3rd grade. His older sister just entered junior high so he is all on his own now in elementary school. No more older sister at school to guide him and show him the way. And he is soooo over me doting all over him all the time. It makes perfect sense. Thank you Lauri!
Fascinating Sleep Fact:
Unlike storage of fat, there seems to be little evolutionary benefit to extra sleep. Probably, our typical 6-8 hours of sleep are just enough to do all "neural housekeeping". People with sleep deficit may indeed tend to sleep obscenely long. However, once they catch up and get into the rhythm, the length of their sleep is actually likely to decrease

CES 2012 was the coming-out party for Sony's in-ear headphones. Nearly buried in the talk of cell phones, media managers, and 3DTV was the announcement Monday night of Sony's first line of balanced-armature in-ear monitors (IEMs). This step up to a higher class of product shocked me for two reasons.
First, Sony introduced not one or two models, but 11 — including the first Bluetooth, noise-cancelling, and sports IEMs I've seen with balanced armatures. Second, at a time when pundits are starting to ridicule Sony as a company that — despite its "make.believe" tagline — doesn't actually make anything anymore, the company is manufacturing its own balanced-armature drivers. "We're not sourcing them from that one manufacturer everyone else sources them from," quipped Sony product manager Claude Schmidt.
OK, let's backtrack with a little tech talk. Almost all in-ear headphones use dynamic drivers, which are essentially tiny versions of the drivers in a conventional set of speakers, with diaphragms propelled by little voice coils. Balanced armature drivers move a speaker diaphragm through a device that resembles a tiny, motor-driven teeter-totter. Because balanced armatures can be small, they can fit deeper into your ear for a better seal, and they're also revered for clearer, more detailed treble. Balanced armatures are found mostly in IEMs prices priced about $200 or higher.
Basic models in the new Sony line include the $79 XBA-1, the $199 XBA-2, the $279 XBA-3, and the $349 XBA-4. The number at the end of the model designation indicates the number of balanced armatures used. So you can think of the XBA-2 as a two-way model with separate woofer and tweeter; the XBA-3 as a three-way model, adding a midrange driver; and the XBA-4 as a dual-woofer three-way. Each is also available with an inline mic/control for smartphones, an option that adds the designation "-iP" to the model number and $20 to the price.
Auditioning each model in the line was a fascinating experience. The XBA-1 sounded like a really good inexpensive IEM, but the sound got better and better until I tried the XBA-4, which sounded more like a really good pair of speakers than like a headphone. But with four drivers, the XBA-4 gets pretty bulky; S+V web editor Michael Berk told me he couldn't fit them in his ears.
The $89 XBA-S65 is basically a sport version of the XBA-1 with a really cool loop that you can tighten to fit snugly around your ear so the IEMs would probably stay in place even during your next Greco-Roman wrestling match.
The XBA-BT65 is a $299 model that's basically the XBA-1 with Bluetooth added. Its carrying case actually has its own internal rechargeable battery, which recharges the XBA-BT65 whenever the headphone is stored.
The $399 XBA-NC85 is the first noise-cancelling IEM I've seen that doesn't have a clumsy "lump in the line" for the electronics. It, too, uses the same driver as the XBA-1.
Schmidt summed it up well when he said, "This is a big step for us." But he also added, "It's just the beginning." Personally, I'm eager to give these new models a spin when they ship in late February or early March.
One of the advantages of Sony coming out with an interesting headphone is that there might be a chance to try these out before you buy them. I think one of the downfalls of headphones/IEMs is that you are usually buying based on a review and word of mouth, rather than your own ears.
At least with the reviews on S+V you get multiple people listening and you can attempt to align your sound preferences with them. It is helpful, but I still would prefer to hear them before you buy, and that is probably why I am still stuck with junk headphones.

Chapter : | Introduction |
Close examination of Carter's presidency lays bare the fragility of the Democratic coalition during this period: North versus South, New Deal Democrats versus "new" Democrats, evangelical Christians versus the mainstream religious, pragmatic politicians versus technocrats. Likewise, many of the issues raised by Carter—the congressional pork barrel chief among them—would become standards for subsequent presidents (as would energy, Middle East peace, tax reform, arms limitation, and a host of others). Reflecting on Carter's place in American political history, former Special Assistant to Carter Les Francis summed up Carter's place in history:
This book is about presidential influence in Congress. Presidential influence in Congress—whether presidents, through their official activities, are able to persuade members of Congress to vote with the president—is one of the enduring intellectual puzzles of the scholarly study of American politics. Inside the Washington community, presidential influence is a matter of much concern, discussion, speculation, intuition, handwringing, and folklore.
