Polycythemia vera (pol-e-sigh-THEE-me-uh VEER-uh) is a slow-growing type of blood cancer in which your bone marrow makes too many red blood cells. Polycythemia vera may also result in production of too many of the other types of blood cells — white blood cells and platelets. These excess cells thicken your blood and cause complications, such as such as a risk of blood clots or bleeding.
Polycythemia vera isn't common. It usually develops slowly, and you may have it for years without noticing signs or symptoms. Often, polycythemia vera is found during a blood test done for some other reason.
Without treatment, polycythemia vera can be life-threatening. However, with proper medical care, many people experience few problems related to this disease. Over time, there's a risk of progressing to more-serious blood cancers, such as myelofibrosis or acute leukemia.
For many people, polycythemia vera may not cause any signs or symptoms. However, some people may experience:
Make an appointment with your doctor for an evaluation if you have any of the signs or symptoms of polycythemia vera.
Because polycythemia vera causes your blood to thicken and slows blood flow, it increases your risk of developing blood clots. If a blood clot occurs in your head, it can cause a stroke. Seek emergency medical care if you have any of the following signs or symptoms of a stroke:
Polycythemia vera occurs when a mutation in a bone marrow cell causes a problem with blood cell production. Normally, your body carefully regulates the number of each of the three types of blood cells you have. But in polycythemia vera, the mechanism your body uses to control the production of blood cells becomes damaged, and your bone marrow makes too many of some blood cells.
The mutation that causes polycythemia vera is thought to affect a protein switch that tells the cells to grow. Specifically, it's a mutation in the protein JAK2 (the JAK2 V617F mutation). Most people with polycythemia vera have this mutation. There are other mutations found in people with polycythemia vera, but it's not yet known what role these mutations play in the development of the disease or what the implications of these mutations might mean for treating the disease.
It's not clear what causes the mutations seen in polycythemia vera. Researchers believe the mutation occurs after conception — meaning that your mother and father don't have it — so it's acquired, rather than inherited from a parent.
The risk of polycythemia vera increases with age. It is more common in adults older than 60, though the disease can occur at any age.
Possible complications of polycythemia vera include:
If you have any signs or symptoms that worry you, see your primary care physician. If you're diagnosed with polycythemia vera, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in blood conditions (hematologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well-prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For polycythemia vera, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask other questions during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow time to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
Doctors most frequently use blood tests to diagnose polycythemia vera. If you have polycythemia vera, blood tests may reveal:
If your doctor suspects you have polycythemia vera, he or she may recommend a bone marrow aspiration or biopsy to collect a sample of your bone marrow. A bone marrow biopsy involves taking a sample of solid bone marrow material. A bone marrow aspiration is usually done at the same time as a biopsy. During an aspiration, your doctor withdraws a sample of the liquid portion of your marrow.
If an examination of your bone marrow shows that it's producing higher than normal numbers of blood cells, it may be a sign of polycythemia vera.
If you have polycythemia vera, analysis of your bone marrow or blood also may show the mutation in the cells (JAK2 V617F mutation) that's associated with the disease.
Polycythemia vera is a chronic condition that can't be cured. Treatment focuses on reducing your amount of blood cells. In many cases, treatment can prevent complications from polycythemia vera and decrease or eliminate the disease's signs and symptoms.
Treatment may include:
You can take steps to help yourself feel better if you've been diagnosed with polycythemia vera. Try to:

Yes, it's time for the weekly challenge card! The theme is a recipe: 3 designer papers, ribbon or twine, something circle shaped and we were asked to use an image from Delicious Doodle.
I requested the Robin Redbreast (who is a distant relative of me, Niina Itchynipple) and had some (a lot) trouble with the colouring. As you have seen in the past, my colouring skills leave a lot to be desired. I haven't even begun to scratch the surface on what I could do with my ProMarkers. However, this time I couldn't even decide what colours to use! I tried realistic colours. Nope. I tried leaving the image black and white. No, that didn't work out either. I was getting frustrated. I stared and stared at the image until I suddenly got a feeling of familiarity. I've seen something like this before!
I did some creative Googleing and found it! A fabric print by Maija Louekari for Marimekko called Pakkanen:
See where I am going with this? After seeing the image, my card came together very quickly and here it is:
My patterned papers are: the one on the background, the black paper is actually brown chevron I stained black and the blue circles were white but I coloured them blue with my ProMarker True Blue. The heart on the ribbon (twill tape) is also drawn with a ProMarker, colour Poppy.
I love the graphic style of this card and it's already on its way to someone. Don't forget to take part in this week's challenge on Craft Your Passion where you can win 4 digi's by Delicious Doodles. I'm also sharing this card in following challenges:

Boredom is an unpleasant feeling that we usually try to avoid at all costs. No one likes to be bored.
For some students, boredom can peak right about now - during their summer vacation. No school means a decline in extracurricular activities and less social time with friends at school.
[Related: 5 Kid Friendly Sites for Bored Children]
In the past, boredom had not received a lot of attention from the scientific community. But recent studies have found that it could be directly connected to your health.
So is being bored good or bad for you? We'll answer that question in this Just Explain It, and provide some tips on how to beat boredom.
First, what exactly is boredom?
According to Dr. John Eastwood, a clinical psychologist at York University in Ontario, Canada, boredom sets in when our ability to pay attention fails. I know, it sounds pretty obvious. But it may be the result of a combination of factors.
1. The situation itself may not be stimulating.
2. A predisposition to boredom.

NYPA Awards Contract to WNY Firm As Part Of Efforts To Overhaul And Modernize Lewiston Pump Generating Plant
Christine Pritchard
(518) 433-6839
September 27, 2011
WHITE PLAINS – The New York Power Authority (NYPA) Board of Trustees today awarded a contract to Eaton Corporation of Leroy, Genesee County, in support of the refurbishing and modernizing of the Niagara Power Project's Lewiston Pump Generating- Plant (LPGP).
Eaton Corporation was awarded a nine-year contract valued at $10.9 million as part of NYPA's Life Extension and Modernization (LEM) program at LPGP. Eaton's contract will include the design, manufacturing, delivery, installation and commission of 12 Unit Control Boards and Governor Controls-- part of the LPGP's Control System Integration project. Specifically, the original electro-mechanical devices will be replaced with modern digital technology, including microprocessing capability, new instrumentation and alarms. The work will include upgrading the unit governing system and the replacement of the unit protective relaying system.
In June 2010, the NYPA Trustees approved the investment of $460 million in LPGP's LEM program, which will enhance the pumped storage project's performance and extend its working life years into the future. The LEM is a nine-year program that will include major upgrades to all 12 pump-turbines and replacement of the generator step-up transformers (GSUs), which date back to 1961 when the Niagara Project was first placed into service.
"The New York Power Authority is committed to maintaining and improving its critical energy infrastructure to ensure that we are providing low-cost power to Western New York and the State of New York years into the future," said Gil C. Quiniones, acting president and chief executive officer, NYPA. "This contract with Eaton Corporation underscores both our dedication to the continued optimal operation of our facilities and our efforts to support businesses in Western New York."
"I am pleased to support this contract award to Eaton Corporation as it will support NYPA's efforts to overhaul and upgrade the Lewiston Pump Generating-Plant and will provide a much needed boost to a Western New York company," said D. Patrick Curley, NYPA trustee and Western New York resident.
In 2006, NYPA completed a $24 million maintenance program at LPGP in the same year that it finished a $298 million, 15-year program to upgrade the Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant, where the Power Authority replaced turbines and retrofitted other components of all 13 generating units. The LEM at LPGP commenced this past summer with the replacement of the first GSU. The upgrade of the pump-turbine generating units will start in December 2012.
The unit work will occur under a schedule providing for the overhaul of a turbine generator every eight to nine months, with the final unit completed in 2020. The phase-in schedule provides for 11 of the 12 LPGP units to be available for operation during the LEM so that NYPA can meet its commitments to its customers.
Pumped-storage facilities like the Lewiston Pump Generating-Plant store water as potential energy during off-peak hours for later use when demand is higher. The principal benefits are retiming of generation and providing the ability to quickly respond to changes in customer demand.
At night or on weekends, when electricity demand is low, LPGP's reversible pump turbine generating units operate as pumps, transporting water from the Niagara project's forebay up to the Lewiston plant's 22-billion-gallon upper reservoir, which is approximately 70 to 120 feet higher in elevation. Surplus electricity from the Moses plant, the project's main generating facility, is used to power the pumps to push water into the Lewiston Reservoir during the off-peak times.
During the daytime, when electricity use peaks, the pumps are reversed and become generators similar to the Moses plant. In this way, Niagara River water can be used to produce electricity twice, with the same water flowing through the Lewiston generators and then the generating units at the Moses plant, which also capture the potential energy of the water diverted from the river in real-time.
Together, LPGP and the Moses plant combine for a net dependable capability of 2,441 mw, making the Niagara project the largest generating facility in the state and one of the largest in the country.
LPGP is one of two major pumped storage facilities in New York State—the other being the Blenheim-Gilboa Pumped Storage Power Project, another NYPA facility. In May 2010, the Authority completed a four-year overhaul of that facility, in the northern Catskills.
About NYPA:
■ The New York Power Authority uses no tax money or state credit. It finances its operations through the sale of bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of electricity. ■ NYPA is a leader in promoting energy efficiency, new energy technologies and electric transportation initiatives. ■ It is the nation's largest state public power organization, with 17 generating facilities in various parts of New York State and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. ■ Approximately 80 percent of the electricity it produces is clean renewable hydropower. Its lower-cost power production and electricity purchases support hundreds of thousands of jobs throughout the state. ■For more information, www.nypa.gov.

We Buy Real Estate Like Our Grandparents (and Other Trends for 2013)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What will the housing market look like in 2013?
The ERA Real Estate office in Parsippany, N.J., worked with clinical psychologist Leslie Reisner to put what it calls an "offbeat, but interesting" magnifying glass to U.S. consumer homebuying behaviors, finding that the worst housing market since the Great Depression has radically altered the mindset of U.S. consumers.
What are the "emotional behavior" trends that top the list? Here's a snapshot:
- Buyers are better-informed and decisive. The ERA actually calls this type of buyer the "broker's backup." It signifies a buyer who is "well-researched and knowledgable" and "very active" in the entire homebuying process. The backup buyer isn't in it for investment purposes; he or she wants a great place to live and plant some roots. "A good number of clients know exactly what they want and are savvy with pricing," says Ranelle Birmingham, a broker at ERA Sarver Real Estate. "I have seen a pattern of buyers making lower offers than normal and then walking away to another house that meets their criteria if the offer is not accepted.
- Families are increasingly multigenerational. The days of a young mom and dad, or a single professional buying a home for their own needs, is going the way of the incandescent light bulb. The ERA sees a big rise in multigenerational families buying homes, with everyone living under one roof - grandma and grandpa included. "Buyers in this situation are not only reacting to current conditions, but also planning for their future, keeping their immediate and extended family top-of-mind when purchasing a home," the ERA says.
- Buyers don't want fixer-uppers. the 2013 homebuyer increasingly wants a home that is "move-in ready." They want up-to-date properties, and given a choice between buying a home that needs repairs or paying a little more for a "ready-to-roll" property, they're digging deeper and paying for the higher-quality property. "Think HGTV," said broker William Hurt of ERA Shields Real Estate. "There are buyers out there that want premium properties. Some have to compromise on price to get them but will do so in order to gain a home in great condition."
- The age of the McMansion is over. Buyers are no longer panting for the suburban mansion or the urban colonial with five bedrooms. Instead, they want to scale down the ladder, buy a small home and use the extra money (and sanity) to travel more and indulge in favorite hobbies that involve more fishing for trout than digging out grout.
In short, maybe it is your father's (or grandfather's) homebuying mindset: Smaller is better, and the more family member on the premises, the better.
"As our economy continues to recover, buyers are on definitely on the move," Reisner says. "However, the way consumers approach buying a home today is different than it was during the real estate boom. Lifestyles have changed and therefore, behaviors have changed."

Brief Summary
The Oomycota (or Peronosporomycetes) is a group that includes more than 800 species that may be saprobic or parasitic on terrestrial or aquatic plants and animals. The oomycetes--including Phytophthora, Pythium, and downy mildews--have long been considered to be fungi because, like fungi, they obtain their nutrients via absorption and many of them produce the filamentous threads characteristic of most fungi. However, molecular phylogenetic investigations have found that the oomycetes are more closely related to the heterokont algae (i.e., the Phaeophyta [brown algae], Xanthophyta [yellow-green algae], Chrysophyta [golden algae], and Bacillariophyta [diatoms], and several smaller groups) than to the true Fungi (Chytridiomycota, Glomeromycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota). This conclusion is supported by a range of ultrastructural data (i.e., the fine structure revealed by electron microscopy). The oomycetes are now often included in a phylum Heterokonta within a kingdom Chromista or in a phylum Stramenopila (or Straminopila).
A number of characteristics distinguish the Oomycota from the true Fungi. These include differences in sexual reproduction (oomycetes produce oospores whereas true fungi produce zygospores, ascospores, or basidiospores), in the nuclear state of the vegetative mycelium (diploid in oomycetes but mostly haploid or dikaryotic in true fungi), in cell wall composition (beta glucans and cellulose in oomycetes, chitin--rarely with cellulose--in true fungi), type of flagellae (when present, flagellae are typically of two types in oomycetes--posteriorly directed whiplash and anteriorly directed fibrous--with just a posterior whiplash type present in true fungi), and mitochondria (cristae tubular in oomycetes but flattened in true fungi).
One especially notorious oomycete is Phytophthora infestans, the cause of late blight of potatoes. As a result of the famine in Ireland caused by this disease, around one million people died and another 1.5 million emigrated. A number of other plant diseases are caused by species of Phytophthora, including sudden oak death and ramorum blight caused by P. ramorum, cacao black pod caused by P. megakarya, and many root rot diseases, such as black shank of tobacco. Other members of the group include pathogens such as Pythium aphanidermatum, the cause of cottony blight of turf grasses; Peronospora tabacina (tobacco blue mold); Plasmopara viticola (downy mildew of grape); Plasmopara halstedii (sunflower downy mildew); and many others. Finally, a group traditionally placed in the oomycetes is the Saprolegniales, or water molds, which cause diseases of fish and other aquatic vertebrates.
More information on the Oomycota can be found in this online adaptation of Rossman and Palm (2006).

Men's Basketball Edges Duhawks, 79-74
Men's Basketball Edges Duhawks, 79-74
Sophomore Cole Darrow (Glenwood, Iowa/Glenwood) led four Beavers in double-figures on Wednesday night with 16 points, while senior Wes Nordquist (Adel, Iowa/ADM) added his eighth double-double of the year (14pts, 10rbs), and the Buena Vista men's basketball team hung on in the end for a thrilling 79-74 Iowa Conference victory over visiting Loras College (5-8, 0-2 IIAC).
Darrow made 5-of-12 shots from the field and 5-of-6 at the free-throw line, while also grabbing five rebounds. Nordquist went 4-of-9 from the field and 6-of-9 at the charity stripe. Freshman Nick Clark (Fort Dodge, Iowa/St. Edmond) and senior Troy Ticknor (Adel, Iowa/ADM) each buried 3-of-6 from downtown to chip in with 13 and 11 points, respectively. As a team, BVU made 10-of-24 from downtown in the contest and finished the game shooting 47 percent from the field overall.
Ticknor and junior Michael Kaufmann (Harlan, Iowa/Harlan) each hit three-pointers to help cap an early 12-2 BVU run just four minutes in. A three-pointer from senior Max Burgeson (Milford, Iowa/Okoboji) made it an 11-point advantage two minutes later before Loras ran off seven straight points to get back within four.
Darrow's bucket midway through the half put BVU back up by double-digits before the Duhawks again answered with a run to close the half. They grabbed their first lead at 40-38 with just over two minutes left before the two teams went into the locker room all-square at 42-42.
An 11-2 run to begin the second half put Loras in front by nine with 15:35 left. BVU, however, had an answer of its own, scoring 13 straight points over the next two minutes to go up four. Clark scored 11 of those points for BVU, including a pair of three-point buckets.
Six straight by the Duhawks again put them back in front 61-59. The game then went back-and-forth with neither team leading by more than two until Loras made it a 74-71 game with 2:28 left.
Senior Tyler Pleiss (Omaha, Neb./Ralston) then made a pair of free-throws to make it a one-point game before Darrow tied it at 74-74 by making 1-of-2 at the line. After a missed shot from the Duhawks, BVU brought the ball across half court, and after a timeout, got a big three-point bucket from Ticknor to put the team up 77-74 with 53 ticks left.
Loras then missed the front-end of a 1-and-1 opportunity and Nordquist pulled down the rebound and got the ball to Clark, who was fouled and went to the line and made both shots for the five-point lead. Loras then had a pair of opportunities to make it a two-point game, but misfired on both three-point shots and BVU secured its ninth straight win.
Buena Vista is now 10-3 overall and has won back-to-back games to start the conference schedule for the first time since going 3-0 back in 2009-10. It will have a chance to match that mark when it plays its first IIAC road game on Saturday afternoon at the University of Dubuque (11-2, 1-1 IIAC). Tip-off against the Spartans is scheduled for 4:00pm.

The GDDR3 memory standard has been on the market for 4.5 years now and it is likely that the technology will still be used for another 1.5 years, if not more, which will result in a rather unprecedented six years lifespan in the high-tech world. According to ATI, graphics products group of Advanced Micro Devices, the recently launched GDDR5 is likely to have a long and happy life too, unlike the GDDR4, which has not gained significant popularity since the introduction in mid-2006.
"We are still actively involved in the development of GDDR5 memory technology. The payoff of that investment is clear in that we were the first (and still the only) provider of GPUs that take advantage of this standard. GDDR5 is still early in its lifecycle, and we believe there is plenty of headroom available to continue improving its performance and power consumption before a new standard is required," said David Cummings, director of product marketing for discrete desktop graphics at graphics products group of AMD, in an interview with X-bit labs.
The GDDR5 memory has a number of advantages over the GDDR3/4: it sports quarter data rate command clock, error detection protocol and so on. Besides, it is easier to route print-circuit boards for GDDR5 since the memory standard does not require traces that are equal in terms of length. Besides, since GDDR5 is produced using rather thin process technology, the new chips also consume less power compared to previous-gen devices.
Since GDDR5 delivers very high bandwidth per pin, the new memory specification makes very wide memory buses (e.g., 384-bit, 448-bit or 512-bit) rather obsolete, as mainstream 128-bit or 256-bit buses can provide enough bandwidth even for very high performance graphics processors, such as ATI Radeon HD 4870 (ATI RV770).
"The 512-bit ring bus interface used in the HD 2900 required a lot of room. Returning to a smaller memory interface allowed us to keep the overall size of the HD 4800 series down, an important requirement with more and more HTPC and SFF-based systems on the market," said Mr. Cummings in the interview.
Currently GDDR5 memory is supported by Hynix Semiconductor, Qimonda and Samsung Electronics. At present, GDDR5 is used on high-performance graphics cards for desktop computers, but eventually the new standard will be used for mobile graphics accelerators and, perhaps, next-generation video-games consoles.

To celebrate the publication of the updated and revised version of John MacArthur's book The Glory of Heaven, we are posting a blog series adapted from the climactic chapter of the book. Throughout church history, not much focus has been given to the topic of what believers will be like in heaven—that ought to make these articles all the more interesting, provocative, and enlightening for you and your family. -GTY Staff
Most of us understand the concept but have a hard time envisioning anything truly perfect. Everything in our earthly life experience is flawed, imperfect.
And for those who know and love the Lord, the imperfections we are most deeply aware of often tend to be our own. I'm not speaking of the frailties of our bodies—though we feel those all too well. But the imperfections that trouble us most are not that superficial. The real problem is sinfulness that comes straight from the heart (see Mark 7:21–23).
Of course we have a tendency to be more tolerant of our own imperfections than the failings of others. We try to cover ourselves, but in our hearts we know all too well that we are woefully and sinfully imperfect. What Christian cannot echo the sentiment Paul expresses in Romans 7:24: "Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?"
We're not alone in this. The entire universe suffers the effects of human sin. Paul also writes, "For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now" (Romans 8:22). That's why all we can know on earth is imperfection. All creation agonizes under the cruel effect of sin's curse, waiting for the consummation of all things, when the curse will finally be removed.
At that time, everything will be perfect. Pain, sorrow, and the groaning of creation will finally be no more. "The ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away" (Isaiah 35:10).
Not only that, but we shall be gloriously perfected. The whole person—body and soul—will be made completely new, flawless. As the apostle John wrote, "Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when He appears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is" (1 John 3:2).
We can't envision it now—"what we will be has not yet appeared"—but we will finally be wholly and completely Christlike. This is the very purpose for which God chose us in eternity past: "to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that He might be the firstborn among many brothers" (Romans 8:29). "He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him" (Ephesians 1:4). He has already begun His good work in us, and He will faithfully "bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6). And when we see Christ, we will instantly and summarily be made utterly perfect, because we shall see Him as He is.
Heaven is a perfect place for people made perfect. Perfection is the goal of God's sanctifying work in us. He's not merely making us better than we are; He is conforming us to the image of His Son. He is making us fit to dwell in His presence forever. The utter perfection of heaven is the consummation of our salvation. It is the purpose for which He chose us before the foundation of the world.
Being conformed to the image of Christ is not something that will begin when this life ends. God is already performing His sanctifying renovations in the lives of His people on this side of eternity. We will explore that in greater detail next time.

I went through this series awhile ago, and I am still trying to digest it. It is so wonderful to know, as believers, where we are going and what we will be like. I am looking forward to reviewing it again and again.
Thank you.

Jesus said 'Such is the kingdom of heaven' regarding little children. I think some of the things in innocent children that will be in heaven include unconditional love, joy, honesty, adaptability, excitement, wonder, optimism, and all sorts of things that seem to fade as they grow older. Of all the verses in the Bible that one is the one I think about the most. This story is repeated in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. (Matthew 19:14, Mark 10:14, and Luke 18:16)
Thank you to all the GTY staff for the good information posted at gty.org . It has been a blessing to me.

Ordered the updated and revised edition of the book. I was reading John's 1st Commentary on Matthew but I put it down to read Heaven. I agree with Mary Ella it is incredible to think of "where we are going and what we will be like" and who we will be with. It is sad to know people are exploiting the subject in a very unbiblical way.
The book is worth another read but I wanted to get back to Matthew, maybe when I finished number 1 and while number two is on order.
I agree with Barbara "It (GTY) has been a blessing to me." It has deepwn my faith in God and has caused me to look more closely to my words, thoughts and deeds. Thank you GTY.
We will be spotless without sin and no longer evil will be again evermore.. Amen!!
Yes, I agree a state of perfection will exist in heaven. One thing I still cannot fathom is how I will feel if I can't find some of my family members or close friends in heaven and realize later that they have been condemned to hell forever. Will I feel joyful? Yet the Bible clearly says there will be no more sorrow or tears. Can someone enlighten me? Thank you.

I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Yes. It was one of my favorite shows. I liked how the comedy mostly came from situations that while kind of funny in an absurd way, were mostly still pretty grounded in in reality and could actually happen to real people. It's kind of what made it unique compared to other "adult cartoons."
Watch me tumble stuff:
I swear my grandfather is Hank Hill if he came from Alabama. Looks like him, too, kind of.
My family will actually watch this show more than with The Simpsons, honestly. Not that I don't mind, by the time I started getting into King of the Hill, I was already getting bored with The Simpsons, and stopped watching the show. And since King of the Hill is on Channel 45's syndication on the weekdays, I was able to catch it pretty often (while I was in high school). I like it, especially the subtle humor that I guess caught my attention the most, and got me coming back often. That's where its heart lies, after all, and it rarely relies on pop culture, if at all.
Of course, the show isn't for everyone because of its subtle, satirical humor on realism, but apparently a lot of people were able to get it, which is why it was on the network for as long as it was. I wish I could find it, I don't really know what to look for, but my parents really liked that one commercial or whatever it was where Hank Hill comes up on his mower or something and says to the camera (paraphrasing), "I tell you what, I like the idea of facial piercings. That way you can tell from a glance that that person's not right."

Yes. To tell you the truth, I hadn't really gotten into it at first. Last summer, I watched all 12 seasons on Netflix. I was really hoping it would have gone on longer. Oh well.
I've been rewatching it on Netflix. Watched it a lot in middle/high school when I could, eventually I came to like it more than The Simpsons or other similar shows. Naturally, I was pleased to discover it on Netflix so I could watch it through chronologically.. there were always some episodes aired more often than others so I'm finding some that I've never seen before.
Well I'll tell you what...
This is a damn good show.
I sell propane and propane accessories.
This is a good show, you just need to sit down and watch it to like (in my experience)
Personally, I like the earlier stuff when they had a lot of Beavis and Butthead humor in it still. However, Screw Captain America, Dale Gribble shall forever be my American hero.
I really did like King of the Hill- I still watch it on Netflix and on Adult Swim sometimes. I wish they made a few more episodes before ending, but every show has to go sometime.
I used to watch it often when they still showed reruns in the evening, but I kind of stopped watching the newer episodes simply because the show became incredibly predictable as it got older. I knew exactly what to expect from Hank; the only truly good characters in my opinion were Dale and Peggy. The rest were either too bland or too annoying.
I'm watching it now, lol. It was one of my favourite TV shows!
Devil May Cry Fan.
Meowth Fan
I've watched that show for a long time. I still do, and it still makes me laugh. Not as much as Beavis and Butthead, but
I tell you what.
Ardent user of anything Rock, Steel, Ground, or Fire
It was, indeed, a good show.
Sig edited due to exceeding height limit. Read the signature rules before editing your signature.
When I first watched it I didn't really get the humour, but as I've aged I've noticed just how great this show is.
I've actually thought of writing a fanfic transplanting the character John Redcorn into the Pokemon world. He would become a "Pokemon Whisperer" if you know what I mean.
Has anyone here ever read any KotH fanfics?

This statement is updated each quarter with the latest performance information for the TIAA General Account.
Since 1918, TIAA's disciplined, long-term approach to asset management has enabled us to deliver on our mission to help individuals and institutions plan for lifelong financial security. The volatility of financial markets, in recent times, underscores why it is critical to recognize and appropriately manage risk. TIAA strives to identify emerging risks to our business and in the broader economy, and then we take the necessary steps to try to manage and mitigate those risks. By virtue of our mission, we are in it for the long term.
Unlike publicly owned companies that seek return for shareholders, our goal is to create value for individuals and institutions, in the form of high-value services and guaranteed income for life. TIAA's General Account supports our guaranteed fixed annuity, TIAA Traditional Annuity. The General Account primarily invests in corporate and government bonds, structured finance instruments (such as mortgage-backed securities) and real estate.
TIAA ended the first quarter of 2012 with a record level of capital reserves and recent affirmations of our financial strength by all four major independent rating agencies. TIAA is among the highest-rated insurance companies in the United States, and our capital reserves underscore our company's stability, claims-paying ability and overall financial strength.*
TIAA had $230.0 billion in total statutory admitted assets, including $17.1 billion in its separate accounts, as of March 31, 2012. Moreover, our capital and contingency reserves, which determine our claims-paying ability, grew strongly, ending the first quarter of 2012 at $27.3 billion, an increase of $0.2 billion over year-end 2011.
As of March 31, 2012, TIAA's General Account portfolio had $0.6 billion in investment gains, consisting of net unrealized capital gains of $0.7 billion offset by net realized capital losses of $0.1 billion.
In addition, crediting rates for the TIAA Traditional Annuity remain competitive. The average annual return for TIAA Traditional Retirement Annuity contracts for the 10-year period ended March 31, 2012 is 5.30%, which is significantly higher than the average 10-year U.S. Treasury yield of 3.74% during that period and well above the general rate of inflation which has averaged 2.43% for the past decade.
TIAA's strong capital position has allowed it to support interest rate guarantees on its annuity contracts, which are generally 2.5% or 3.0%, and range between 1% and 3% for newer accumulating annuity contracts.
Note: This statement pertains to the TIAA General Account. The TIAA General Account is an insurance company general operating account. It is not available to investors and does not present investment returns to participants. The performance of the investments held in the TIAA General Account support the TIAA Traditional Annuity's guarantees of principal, minimum guaranteed returns, additional amounts and payout obligations.
*For its stability, claims-paying ability and overall financial strength, TIAA currently holds among the highest ratings from the four leading insurance company rating agencies: A.M. Best (A++ as of 4/12), Fitch (AAA as of 2/12), Moody's Investors Service (Aaa as of 12/11) and Standard & Poor's (AA+ as of 8/11). These ratings are subject to change and do not apply to variable annuities, mutual funds or any other product or service not fully backed by TIAA's claims-paying ability. Per S&P criteria, the downgrade of U.S. long-term government debt limits the highest rating of U.S. insurers to AA+ (the second-highest rating available).
TIAA accounts for investments in accordance with statutory accounting principles as prescribed or permitted by the New York State Insurance Department. A realized loss on an investment is recorded when an impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary. An impairment in the valuation of an investment is considered to have occurred if an event or change in circumstance indicates that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable or that the receipt of contractual payments of principal and interest may not occur when scheduled. When an impairment has been determined to have occurred, the investment is written down to either fair value or the present value of the discounted cash flows, depending on the asset class, and a realized loss is recorded. TIAA considers available evidence to evaluate the potential impairment of its investments. Realized losses also include losses on investments that have been sold or otherwise disposed of as well as losses on investments that continue to be held in the portfolio.
New Funds applied to TIAA Traditional from April 1, 2012 through April 30, 2012 will be credited with interest at the annual effective rate of 3.00% for RA, 3.00% for SRA, 3.10% for RC, 2.35% for RCP, 1%-3% for IRAs and Keoghs and 1.25% for Stable Return contracts. Funds transferred to TIAA Traditional between April 1, 2012 and April 30, 2012 will begin earning interest at the beginning of the next calendar day following the effective date of the transfer, and will be credited with the indicated rates through February 28, 2013.

This set is not as long as it might appear at first because no Proofs were struck in 26 of the 50 years that this collection spans. The coins of 1909 through 1916 were issued in the Matte Proof format, and include the especially challenging 1909 V.D.B. and 1916. The series started up again in 1936 with both a Satin Finish and a Brilliant Proof. After a hiatus from 1943 through 1949 the Proofs were issued once again from 1950 through 1958, and then the reverse "wheat back" design was changed.

How's this for an easy Thanksgiving dessert? (Use apples or pears instead of berries.)
Makes: 6 to 8 servings
Time: 15 minutes with precooked chickpeas
The Middle Eastern classic has become daily fare for many Americans, whether as a dip or a sandwich spread. Make it as garlicky, lemony, or spicy as you like (try it with smoked pimentón or Aleppo or other mild Middle Eastern pepper); I love it with lots of lemon juice.
If you're serving it as a dip, you may need to add more bean-cooking liquid, water, olive oil, or lemon juice to thin it. Recipe from How to Cook Everything.
45 Minute Turkey, and a Few Other Things
Busy week: the Times put together a fun complilation of old Minimalist videos all related to Thanksgiving. Tara Parker-Pope (thank you) wrote a Well column about The Food Matters Cookbook, and included some sustainable Thanksgiving dishes; interviews with me appeared on the Parents website and Bygone Bureau (watch for good things by Darryl Campbell), and I did apple turnovers on Today. (Best line: Lauer: "This is kind of labor intensive." Bittman: "We've been working for all of 90 seconds.")
The Minimalist: Raw Thanksgiving Vegetables
Thanksgiving vegetable side dishes, no cooking required.
Baked Curried Rice with Apples and Coconut
By Freya Bellin
This dish is wonderfully flavorful, blending sweet-tart apples, nutty brown rice, and spicy coconut curry. As promised, it really is hands-off, and the results are fantastic. By cooking the dry rice before adding liquid it becomes extra nutty, plus it gets well coated with the curry- and ginger-infused oil. The coconut milk is subtle but crucial to the creaminess of the dish, and the shredded coconut adds a nice toasty element throughout. Once mixed in, give the apples some time to soften up—they will cook significantly and taste best when warmed all the way through. You can certainly play around with variations on this recipe, maybe swapping out the apples for raisins or pineapple, or some combination. Try topping it with plain Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.
I did some improvising with the cooking technique in this recipe, and instead of using an oven-proof pan, I cooked everything in a large skillet up until it was ready for the oven. At that point, I transferred it to a small glass Pyrex dish and covered it with aluminum foil. The dish still came out great, so don't be deterred if you don't have the right cookware. Recipe from The Food Matters Cookbook.
We Asked Walmart. It Answered.
Last week I wrote about Walmart's recently announced $1 billion initiative to begin sourcing more produce from local small- and medium-sized farms. (In the U.S. it aims to double the amount of local produce it sells, to 9 percent, by 2015.) I suggested that the company had not been entirely forthcoming about the details of its plan, and consequently posed a handful of questions for the world's largest retailer.
I wanted to know some basic things: how Walmart defines "local"; whether it intends to pay small farmers full value for their produce; and if the new initiative might end up running any farmers out of business.
Pan-Cooked Salmon with Lentils
Makes: 4 servings
Time: About 1 hour
Salmon and green lentils are an excellent combination. Err on the side of undercooking the lentils. You want them to have an almost nutty texture. Other seafood you can use: trout, shrimp (both of which will cook more quickly, so make the sauce first), or scallops. Recipe from How to Cook Everything.
This Week's Minimalist (sort of): Thanksgiving
In addition to my stuffed cabbage revisited column, the dining section re-ran my 101 make-ahead thanksgiving recipes from last year. I guess it's almost turkey time.
This Week's Minimalist: Stuffed Cabbage
Braised Chard with Chicken and Steel-Cut Oats
By Freya Bellin
I've never thought to use oats in a savory dish, so this recipe immediately caught my eye. The headnote mentions that you can substitute bulgur, which maybe sounds like a more suitable dinner grain, but is actually quite similar to steel-cut oats. I opted for the oats and was pleasantly surprised by how well they fit in as a savory ingredient, with their nutty flavor and chewy texture. It makes a nice base for the sweet, vinegary sauce.
This one-pot dish comes together pretty quickly once you get it on the stove; separating and chopping the chard was probably the most time-consuming piece of the whole process, although I was happy to make use of both the stems and leaves. Browning the chicken thighs really deepens the flavor of the dish, which tastes best when eaten hot right away. Recipe from The Food Matters Cookbook.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate you on working so hard to bring a little decorum to this House. We are just beginning a new session and we have passed a budget. Some members seem to be frustrated, and they are saying most unfortunate things, things that would not be tolerated in Quebec's National Assembly.
I would formally request that the member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie, the leader of the Bloc Québécois, withdraw his unparliamentary remarks.
Let us behave like mature adults, shall we? Words like "idiot", "stupid" and "chicken" have no place in either Quebec City or Ottawa. The leader of the Bloc Québécois should stop being such an embarrassment to Quebeckers and parliamentarians, and stop insulting voters, parliamentarians and the people listening to us today.
I would ask him to withdraw his remarks. Let us have a little decorum in the House. I would like him to apologize immediately.

Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-284, An Act to implement the recommendations of the Pay Equity Task Force.
Mr. Speaker, the right to equal pay for work of equal value is a basic human right. Although pay equity is protected in Canada by the Canadian Human Rights Act, pay equity in Canada is not a reality for Canadian women.
Proactive pay equity legislation helps to compensate women for the historic devaluation of women's work. Traditionally women have worked in undervalued and underpaid occupations, like caregiving, cleaning and nursing. Canada must implement effective pay equity legislation to advance women's equality.
Pay inequity has wide-reaching negative social and economic consequences for all women and their families. That is the reason for this legislation. We need proactive pay equity, as outlined in the 2004 pay equity report, and a pay equity commissioner to end the disparity experienced by Canadian women.

Modernization of Investigative Techniques Act
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-285, An Act regulating telecommunications facilities to facilitate the lawful interception of information transmitted by means of those facilities and respecting the provision of telecommunications subscriber information.
Mr. Speaker, I am quite proud to present this bill again in the House. You have already mentioned the title of the bill, but it is also commonly known as the modernization of investigative techniques act, or MITA.
The modernization of investigative techniques act, MITA, would ensure that the law enforcement community in Canada and our Canadian Security Intelligence Service would maintain an ability to investigate crime and terrorism in the face of rapidly evolving communications technology. The bill would reduce the ability of criminals, organized crime members and child pornographers to use sophisticated technologies to carry out their activities undetected. Under MITA, telephone and Internet service providers would be required to include an interception capability in new technology.
The bill is about ensuring that Canadians and their communities are safe. Police and CSIS need to have the tools necessary to intercept, legally, new communication technologies. If adopted, this legislation will ensure that criminals can no longer take advantage of new technologies to hide their illegal activities from the law.
I hope that the bill will receive the support of my colleagues on both sides of the House.

Oil and Gas Ombudsman Act
Routine Proceedings
February 4th, 2009 / 3:15 p.m.
Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-286, An Act to establish the Office of the Oil and Gas Ombudsman to investigate complaints relating to the business practices of suppliers of oil or gas.
Mr. Speaker, after the unexpected and premature prorogation of the House in December, I am so pleased to finally have the opportunity to reintroduce a bill that would establish the oil and gas ombudsman. The bill is being introduced on behalf of irate consumers who are tired of continually getting hosed at the pumps. As members will recall, the bill would create the office of the oil and gas ombudsman, which would be charged with providing strong and effective consumer protection to ensure that no big business could swindle, cheat or rip off hard-working Canadians.
I am pleased to report that the bill has been endorsed by the Consumers Association of Canada.
Currently, people can only complain to each other about being gouged at the pumps. My bill would create a meaningful vehicle for having those complaints taken seriously, with mechanisms for investigation and remediation to help consumers fight the squeeze.
Since this is not just an issue in my riding of Hamilton Mountain, I am pleased to have my bill seconded by the member for London—Fanshawe. I am hopeful members from all regions of the country, and indeed from all political parties, will endorse my efforts to put an end to highway robbery.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Holidays Act (Remembrance Day)
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Chris Charlton Hamilton Mountain, ON
moved for leave to introduce Bill C-287, An Act to amend the Holidays Act (Remembrance Day).
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to reintroduce a bill, which its adoption I have advocated since I was first elected to the House. My bill to amend the Holidays Act (Remembrance) would honour those who have sacrificed their lives for our country by making Remembrance Day a legal holiday.
I look forward to the bill's quick passage to honour all of those who have died serving our country.
(Motions deemed adopted, bill read the first time and printed)
Interprovincial Bridge
Routine Proceedings
3:20 p.m.
Mauril Bélanger Ottawa—Vanier, ON
Mr. Speaker, I would like to present a petition signed by constituents from both sides of the river in the national capital region. It concerns the possibility of building a bridge to get the heavy truck traffic outside of the core of our capital city.
In particular, the petitioners ask that the government instruct the National Capital Commission to proceed with a detailed assessment of an interprovincial bridge linking the Canotek industrial park to Gatineau airport, which is option seven of the first phase of the interprovincial crossings environmental assessment.

Topic: Setting Up Table/s Question
I'm creating my first rails site and since I'm pretty new to dynamic sites need some advice on setting up the table.
Basically the client has products and I am going to put them into a product model and products table.
However these products can be both sold or hired so there will be a hiring page and a products for sale page, and a specials page on the site.
Information for the products involves the following details
Product name
Product description
Product image
if the product is for sale then the following information is required also
Recommended retail price
If product is a pair then pair sale price
if product is a single item then single item price
If the product is on special/discounted
recommended retail price
discounted price
if product is for hire then the following information is required also
hire price
What I'm not sure about is should I have separate tables being
products table
hires table
specials table
and have a relationship between the tables? If so any suggestions on where to start to do this. I know how to create a model, table, controller but I haven't done any work with multiple tables.
