It is hard to teach lab-intensive courses without labs. That truth is very apparent to us as we enter the second week of classes with at least another four weeks of work remaining before our labs are ready for occupancy. Though the walls now have sheetrock and mud and tape, the work left to be done is staggering. Finish and paint, installation of doors and windows, flooring and cabinetry and equipment – all these and more are left to do to turn cold, sterile spaces into a home for science. After all, you need an autoclave to teach microbiology; you need incubators to teach the biology of unicellular organisms.
Yet, the work of educating students continues, albeit modified. There are adaptations galore as we find alternative activities that teach the same principles in labless spaces. Today in BIMS 1300 Introduction to Scientific Research we saw a case in point. The topic for the day was use of logic and the scientific method to solve mysteries and problems. What better way to teach that than by playing Clue and Mastermind! Students identified the variables and recognized the problems occurring when one doesn't isolate and address them. It became clear very quickly that careful annotation of results can help reduce possibilities and hone in on the answer. Students enjoyed an unconventional way of approaching learning central to the work of a scientist. Make an observation, pose a question, predict an outcome, conduct an experiment, analyze the results, and move on to the next question. All of those elements track perfectly with the logic going into figuring out of Col. Mustard did it in the dining room with a rope. At the conclusion of the lab, students fit their decision-making processes into the format of the scientific method. All agreed that this was an exceptionally effective way to get a grasp of the thought processes and skills we all possess to one agree or another that enable us to interrogate nature.

It was my Grandfather's funeral earlier this week which, though it probably isn't gracious to admit it, was actually a fairly enjoyable affair because it meant we got to get the whole family together. It was sad too, obviously and I read a eulogy and there were many tears, but it was great to see all my cousins and sisters and my brother. It's also meant that I've been out of the work at an awkward time though and perhaps haven't been totally focused, so I haven't got many links to put up. The postal strikes in the UK haven't helped either – my copy of Borderlands only just arrived, though I've had Torchlight and Dragon Age: Origins to keep me busy.
The first joint Bit-tech and Custom PC awards are coming up soon and, though there's only one gaming category in the awards and I'm not really sure how it's all being organised, it should be a fairly good night. I'll admit to being nervous about it though, as I'm not really very good at smalltalk and schmoozing unlike most everyone else in this industry. I'd much prefer to be sat in the corner with a tall gin and tonic than having to watch my sobriety and make chit-chat. Ah well. Here's some links.
- Gaming Podcast #6 – IWNet, Windows 7 and Yak Meat (Audio)
- Deus Ex 2: Invisible War retrospective (Blog)
- Windows 7 Games Compatibility Testing (Feature)
- How Far Has PC Gaming Come? (Feature)

There's also this, though it isn't by me. It's a fairly good set of reasons why IWNet for Modern Warfare 2 will suck ass. And this, which is a new feature we've rolled out on bit-tech lately. And this; Frank Turner, who I've been listening to lately.
That's about it really. I do have other stuff to say, including an update on The Baldur's Gate Challenge, but I can't be bothered right now. Long story/short – I finished Durlag's Tower and it was a right bitch.
Joe, Out.

The Dermatology Journal Club (Elsevier) published a CME-related activity on "Achieving Optimal Outcomes with Dermal Fillers". It is reviewed two articles. The CME exam is available here, but I can't find the on-line publication of the journal. You will need to register to use the site, but it is free. The two articles are listed below under references. If you use dermal fillers, these articles are well worth reading. I reviewed several of the different fillers here. The results can be great as in the photo to the right (credit) when used properly.
Tips for both patient and doctor:
- All dermal fillers have the potential for complications.
- Appropriate filler and injection-site selection, correct injection technique, and appropriate patient selection will minimize most complications.
- Temporary side effects associated with all fillers include swelling, redness, itching, bruising, and mild pain.
- Patients should limit their expressions and normal facial movements for 3 days after injection.
- The face should also be protected from extreme cold postinjection (ie snowmobiling without facial protection).
- By 3 months, permanent implants will have assumed their final shape. Touch-ups can provide additional symmetry and correction at this point.
Early complications include
- Persistent erythema (long-lasting redness) is the most frequent early complaint. It is usually due to unintended intradermal injection. If the erythematous area is flat, then intense pulsed light (IPL) can be used to effectively reduce the lesion.
- Ridges along the injection site and superficial beading are due to superficial intradermal injection and generally appear within 2 weeks. Injected strands (in particular those in the nasolabial folds) can separate unless an attempt is made to minimize motion at the injection site for 3 days. Limiting motion will allow the implanted material to become encapsulated and prevent it from dislocating.
- Blanching after a particulate injectable indicates that a ridge may form later unless pressure is applied to the area to distribute the implant evenly.
- Nodules will often appear within the first 4 weeks. They are often due to superficial or improper technique or inappropriate injection location. They tend to be small, isolated, well encapsulated, and respond poorly to intralesional steroids. They may require excision.
Late complications include
- Hypertrophic scarring may occur in patients who are prone, but only if the substance is injected too superficially (intradermally).
- Late inflammatory reactions include localized redness, swelling, and paresthesias. These can occur years after injection in all but the temporary fillers. Treatment with IPL or intralesional steriods is frequently effective.
- Granulomas tend to appear 6-24 months after injection. They are true foreign-body reactions. They can occur despite proper injection technique. They are characterized by their late-onset rapid growth, inflammatory appearance, relatively large size, discoloration, and projections into surrounding tissues. They seem to appear simultaneously at all injection sites. They usually respond well to intralesional steroids. (photo credit)
- Steroid atrophy, depending on the dose, may occur in 5-30% of patients treated for chronic redness, nodules, or granulomas.
Recommended intralesional corticosteroids include
- Triamcinolone 20-40 mg
- Betamethasone 5-7 mg
- Methylprednisonlone 20-40 mg
- Betamethasone (0.5 mL) in combination with 5-fluorouracil (1.6 mL) and lidocaine (1 mL)
- Triamcinolone (10 mg/mL) with 5-fluorouracil
Intralesional steroid injections can be associated with secondary effects such as skin atrophy, treatment resistance, and risk of recurrence.
A few summary points from the second article:
- Some patients are better candidates for aesthetic volumizing with Sculptra than others, because they are better at making collagen.
- Ideal locations for Sculptra injection are the nasolabial folds or creases, marionette lines, cheek hollows, zygomatic arches, temporal depressions, and depressed, scarred areas.
- Some physicians also use Sculptra for lateral eyebrows and dorsal hand areas.
- Large areas, such as cheek hollows benefit from serial injections of very small volumes (0.1-0.2 mL or less) applied in a cross-hatched pattern. Advanced needle techniques such as fanning and retrograde tunneling using very small volumes work well in these areas. Specialized training and experience are necessary to utilize these techniques.
- Sculptra should not be used in the body of the lip. This site offers a high probability of having nodules or papules form. Injections into the glabella and forehead are not recommended because of the risk of necrosis (photo credit)with any particulate product in these areas.
- Nodule or papule development can be prevented by proper injection technique and appropriate identification of areas to be injected. Ice application postinjection may minimize bruising. A massage several times a day postinjection to the area can minimize papule formation.

The "P" stands for party
By Amy Dalness
There are two things you're sure to find in abundance during ABQ Pride: queer people and dancing. And lots of queer people dancing. And lots of not-queer people dancing because the queer people are having so much fun dancing everyone has to join in. It's a fabulous cycle.
For your partying pleasure, here's a quick round-up of the events happening off the fairgrounds this Pride weekend.
Evolution Nightclub
2500 Yale SE • 615-8960
While the latest addition to Albuquerque's GLBT club scene isn't technically operational yet, Evolution couldn't resist opening its doors wide open for a big Pride bash. Be one of the first to see the new disco on Saturday night at 7 p.m. with the added bonus of DJ Eddie X, DJ George Jackson and house DJs, a special performance by local garage/house artist RaShaan Houston and dance music legend CeCe Peniston (renowned for 1991's international club hit "Finally"). Tickets are available at the door—$20 for 21-and-over and $15 for ages 18 to 20. On Sunday, lounge poolside with a circuit-style Tea Dance/Pool Party starting at noon at the Wyndham Hotel with DJs DeLorenzo, Eldon and Justin Case. Tickets are $10 day of the event, or free with the special hotel packages (visit the Evolution Nightclub website for details).
Exhale Bar and Grill
6132 Fourth Street NW • 342-0049
Albuquerque's only lesbian bar starts the party on Friday with a night of cover-free dancing featuring DJ Madie. After a sun-soaked day at the fairgrounds on Saturday, grab your girlfriends for a barbecue on Exhale's patio starting at 4 p.m. and dance all night with the musical assistance of DJ Mike. The $15 cover includes food. If you've still got some party left in you on Sunday, head back for Us Featuring You at 5 p.m. followed by karaoke by Boop at 7:30 p.m.
4100 Central SE • 255-3334
Be ready to laugh your cottontail off when Lady Bunny takes the stage on Friday night. This drag queen isn't just a fabulous dresser, she's a comedienne, singer, songwriter, actress, DJ and the founder of Wigstock. And she's dirty—definitely dirty. On Saturday, keep the party rolling by taking the courtesy shuttle from Pulse to Pride and back as much as you'd like for cocktails and dance music. Stay into the evening for the real Sandy B, a chart-topping (and Grammy nominated) dance/house diva with rich, gospel-inspired vocals. Guaranteed to put some groove into your weekend! Tickets for each night are $12, or $20 for both Pride-filled events.
8900 Central SE • 275-1616
Sidewinders is bringing a little bit of "American Idol" to its stage. Kimberly Locke, second runner-up on season two of the boob-tube phenomenon, will perform on Saturday night after 11 p.m. (but before midnight, according to the Powers That Be) on Saturday. It's $5 at the door and 21+.

Vermont's Northeast Kingdom Residents Receive USDA Support to Increase Economic Development Opportunities, Spur Job Creation
Written by Anita Rios Moore, Vermont USDA Public Information Coordinator
USDA Rural Development State Director, Molly Lambert, joined by representatives from the Vermont Congressional delegation presented seven Northeast Kingdom organizations with Certificates of Partnership recently during a grant awards ceremony at the St. Johnsbury USDA office. The recipients received Rural Business Enterprise Grants (RBEG) to spur Vermont's Northeast Kingdom businesses.
"Our mission is to increase economic opportunity and improve the quality of life for all rural Americans. These grants will help rural businesses with funding and technical assistance they need to expand and create jobs," Lambert said. "We are pleased to partner with these organizations in order to spur economic development throughout the Northeast Kingdom."
Three organizations, the Country Riders Snowmobile Club, Inc., Northeast Kingdom Travel & Tourism Association and the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, Inc. received grants to promote regional tourism throughout Caledonia, Essex and Orleans counties. Two other organizations, The Center for an Agricultural Economy and the University Of Vermont & State Agriculture College, will use their grants to provide technical assistance to dairy farmers and agricultural businesses in the area. Both organizations will provide business counseling, plan or product development to their specified clientele.
"Following the announcement, the grantees had time to network," said Steven Campbell, Director for the St. Johnsbury USDA Rural Development Area Office. "They've continued conversations beyond the day's event that clearly indicate they understand the connections they share."
Newport City Renaissance Corporation will develop a Newport brand recognition and a marketing strategy. Northern Community Investment Corporation will complete a Growth Readiness Fund to assist selected innovative high-impact business partners with specialized services that point toward preparing and advancing their businesses for job creation.
These seven grants add to 20 previously awarded to Northeast Kingdom, Vermont recipients. Grantees have provided business assistance, including internet marketing, business account training, the creation of a centralized reservation system for Northeast Kingdom tourism businesses, energy efficiencies, revolving loan funds and technical assistance in several forms.
The Northeast Kingdom is a designated Rural Economic Area Partnership (REAP) Zone. The counties of Caledonia, Essex, and Orleans have special access to important USDA Rural Development programs.
Northeast Kingdom grant recipients signed grant agreement documents for their Rural Business Enterprise Grant awards to spur economic development throughout Caledonia, Essex, and Orleans counties.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
JaNell Jones, Miss Emery County 2002, has chosen "Suicide Prevention Awareness" as her service project for her scholarship platform. Jones says this is a difficult subject because people are very hesitant to talk about it with anyone. Still, she has done presentations at Canyon View Junior High, San Rafael Junior High and Emery High.
As Jones has chosen "There's Always Tomorrow" as the theme for her platform and September was National Suicide Prevention month, she chose Sept. 28 to present a workshop to promote public awareness for this delicate subject. She wanted to let every person know that there are many other choices to be made than suicide. Jones did the research and came up with a highly recommended speaker, DeNean Petersen from Iron County Victims services.
Petersen was originally from Molen and still has roots in Emery County, so she was glad to be back "home." Petersen began the workshop with the statement that Utah is above the national average for suicides per capita and that suicide is the second leading cause of death in young people. These startling facts are evidence that the parents, as well as all the citizens of this state, need to be educated about the warning signs and what to do about them.
Petersen stressed how suicide impacts the entire community, not only the family left behind and that depression is statistically tied to the suicide rate. When people experience a traumatic event in their lives, the reactions can vary from person to person. So as neighbors and friends, and often, parents, we need to be on our guard for the signs.
Sometimes the signs of depression, and possibly impending suicide are subtle. We need to be aware of the circumstances of those around us and those we care about. People often lose their sense of personal control when depression takes over their lives and desperation to feel control over some portion of their life takes control. These are some of the warning signs.
*Abrupt changes in personality.
*Giving away possessions.
*Previous suicide attempt.
*Use of drugs and/or alcohol.
*Depression. Lack of self esteem.
*Withdrawal from people, especially close friends, family and/or favorite activities.
*Change in eating and sleeping patterns.
*Chronic pain.
*Restlessness-inability to concentrate.
These signs are often markers of a persons feelings of last resort, the feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, impair their vision of tomorrow. Suicide prevention is AWARENESS to the nuances of the warning signs.
Often, the first step to suicide prevention is the recognition of these symptoms and opening the lines of communication to that person. When you ask "How are you today?" mean it. Don't let your body language tell that person that you do not really care or that you are worried about how much time this may take. If you do not intend to carry through when you ask if a person needs help, don't ask.
The main point of this workshop was to prepare people with the knowledge of what to do after you ask the first "How are you?" As you attempt to open the lines of communication, a person should make the other as comfortable as possible. Create an open, honest and warm circumstance, not only physically, but mentally. The door to this relationship must first open a crack to continue to become fully open.
Be prepared to offer the person alternatives to his daily problems. Point out how his actions affect, not only him, but everyone around him. Don't hesitate to enable this person find a professional to help.
Petersen stated, "We need to watch those who have had a major trauma. We need to be more vigilant and caring and open to communication."
People can not let this frightening, taboo subject be ignored. Help is available through church, community health centers, medical clinics, and national programs such as "The Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program." at 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) or www.yellowribbon.org.

The peanutty batter covering the bread is thick so it clings to the bread. If it seems a little too thick, add a small amount of milk. When you coat the bread, use your fingers to turn the slices (messy) or try using a spatula (less messy). Either way, the toast turns out delicious!
How many slices of waffle toast you'll actually make will depend on the type of bread you use.

(250 Grams) 45 Ultra Concentrated Scoops USP Labs' Jack3d Pre-Exercise CNS-Carnosine-ATP Augmentor provides ultra-intense muscle-gorging strength, energy, power, and endurance. USP Labs' Jack3d Pre-Exercise CNS-Carnosine-ATP Augmentor may produce an intense sensation of focus, energy, & awareness. In addition, it can allow for rapid increases in strength, speed, power, & endurance. Therefore, extreme caution must be exercised & should not be used by novice athletes. Use USP Labs' Jack3d Pre-Exercise CNS-Carnosine-ATP Augmentor with caution under strict dosing protocols. Synergistic Combination is KEYUSP Labs has combined some exciting, new compounds with tried and true compounds to deliver a formula that is extremely potent, yet not detrimental to your health. The biggest factor in this is making a synergistic formula. Not just a bunch of ingredients thrown together haphazardly. Combine the correct ingredients in the correct amounts and you truly get 1 + 1 = 5! Motivation and Energy in the TankWhile some products may cause the excitation you need to get motivated to get into the gym and move weight around, but unless you also have some "energy in the tank" you're not going to perform your best. ...Yet, with the key ingredients in USPlabs Jack3d, you'll not only have to force yourself to get out of the gym, but you'll get more repetitions in while you're there. More repetitions will ultimately lead to more muscle mass. In essence, this product hits both angles, allowing you to increase strength, power, focus and stamina, while providing the motivation to get into the gym. The end result can lead to better performance in the gym and ultimately, more muscle mass. USPlabs Jack3d- FORMULA BREAKDOWN Schizandrol AThis compound is an exciting one...It has not only been shown to outperform amphetamine in cognitive tasks involving focus, but it has also been shown to greatly increase the capacity of muscles to perform work,while also increasing physical force. In essence, it is able to provide a stimulating effect to the body and mind. Last, but certainly not least; unlike various stimulants which can increase catabolic hormone levels (i.e. glucocorticoids), this compound has been shown to lower levels of hormones like cortisol in animal models. And, as we all know, cortisol is dramatically increased during a workout and can stop muscle growth in its tracks. Schizandrol A will help keep cortisol at bay so you can get bigger, stronger & leaner! Don't get confused with the cheap, ineffective Shizandra found in some other products. USP Labs' Schizandrol A is a potent Engineered Extract only found in Jack3d. CaffeineCaffeine belongs to the family of methylxanthine compounds. It's able to stimulate the CNS, while also stimulating contractility of skeletal muscle directly and this may partially be due to the release of catecholamines such as norepinephrine. Caffeine has the benefit of fighting fatigue and drowsiness; enhancing the flow of thoughts; increasing alertness and improving intellectual efforts along with producing euphoria or a sense of well-being in some cases. Just as these methylxanthines can increase the effectiveness of compounds such as ephedrine, it is thought that it may do the same for the unique compound found in Geranium In terms of specifics, at the cortical level, caffeine is also thought to promote increased wakefulness or vigilance, via adenosine receptor antagonism, causing stimulation of cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain and reinforcing inhibition exerted upon sleep-promoting GABA neurons. The stimulant effects are exerted directly upon the cerebral cortex, medulla oblongata, and spinal cord. ...Most formulas just throw in a ton of caffeine and hope for the best. USPlabs Jack3d has a precise blend of compounds that will not only get you flying through your workouts like a mad man, but will allow you to have hours upon hours of energy without a harsh crash at the end... Jack3d's ingredients are perfectly blended for a powerful synergistic effect... This is one area where USPlabs Jack3d truly separates itself. It's not just a ton of caffeine thrown in so you can "feel it." It's the proper stimulants in the proper dosages. Beta-alanineBeta-alanine serves as the rate-limiting precursor of carnosine and as such, it has been shown that by supplementing with beta-alanine, you can greatly increase carnosine levels in skeletal muscle tissue. Carnosine is an extremely important dipeptide that is generally present in rather high concentrations in skeletal muscle, though it is also found in nervous tissue and other excitable tissues as well. It is so important because it acts as a buffer of sorts, preventing the increase of acidity or Hydrogen ion accumulation in skeletal muscle; something which is thought to contribute to the fatiguing of muscles. In short, you are able to delay fatigue; allowing you to lift for longer periods. It is no coincidence that the most explosive athletes (e.g. sprinters) in the world have higher carnosine levels in their muscles. Looking to the animals of our world provides us with yet another example; the most explosive animals such as greyhounds and thoroughbred horses also have the highest level of carnosine in their muscle tissue as well. Creatine MonohydrateWhile we may negate the increase in Hydrogen ion levels in skeletal muscle by increasing carnosine levels, we still must overcome one more obstacle in order to allow us to prevent fatigue while working out. In this case, we must use a compound which can ultimately increase the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels in muscle. ATP, as we all know, is a high energy nucleotide which acts as the major energy carrying molecule in our bodies. Consequently, muscle fatigue is also related to energy loss in skeletal muscle, specifically, ATP being converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP). In effect, one phosphate group is lost and must be replenished in order for the muscle cell to continue on working. By supplementing with creatine, we are able to increase the levels of phosphocreatine in muscle. Phosphocreatine is a high energy buffering compound which is able to donate a phosphate group to ADP, allowing the formation of ATP once again. In short, we can prevent or reduce fatigue from occurring by increasing phosphocreatine levels, which in turn will allow for the regeneration of ATP from ADP. By addressing both the regeneration of ATP, while also limiting Hydrogen ion accumulation, we are able to provide a one-two combination that effectively reduces fatigue to an amazing degree. If this weren't enough, the compound we have included may also increase the swelling of muscle cells, possibly increasing protein synthesis or inhibiting catabolism; the end result being an increase in muscle mass. While creatine monohydrate isn't new or ground-breaking, it's scientifically sound, proven millions of times over in the real-world and an absolute must in any pre-workout formula. The "Best" Creatine?It seems there have been a myriad of creatine products on the market in recent years; each and every one of them claim to improve upon the original creatine monohydrate. Yet, not one of them has ever been able to do so. Though, should this really be a surprise? It has been known for some time now that creatine monohydrate's bioavailability is nearly 100%, despite many marketing attempts to make you believe otherwise. Yet, each one of these products has claimed that they could improve the product in some way. The only reason for the stomach issues associated with creatine was the loading phase that was promoted when creatine first came out. This has since been disproven & NOT needed to achieve desired results...First it was the effervescent formulations, claiming that the buffered product could resist acidic degradation of creatine to creatinine in the stomach, while at the same time, decreasing the transit time for the creatine to enter the small intestine from the stomach, again, hypothetically reducing the amount of creatine degradation. Last, it was supposed to improve solubility of the creatine in solution, hypothetically resulting in improved absorption. Yet, scientific studies showed no improvement in absorption or bioavailability with these formulations. The next attempt was to improve creatine absorption with various salts, the latest of which appear to be tri-creatine citrate and creatine pyruvate. Yet again, as you would expect, studies have shown no significant increase in bioavailability over regular creatine monohydrate. Don't be fooled by slick marketing; some manufacturers may cite a study which had shown slightly greater (although not statistically significant and hence not accepted as likely being unique) plasma concentrations of creatine with the pyruvate salt in particular. However, they will most certainly and conveniently leave out the scientists' own conclusions, "The higher plasma concentration with Creatine Pyruvate is unlikely to have been due to greater bioavailability, since the bioavailability of Creatine Monohydrate is known to be close to 100%" and "It is questionable if the small differences observed in the plasma concentrations with the three treatments would have any effect on the increase in creatine in muscle." Yet another example of these futile attempts includes the creatine ethyl ester. This particular product also boasted claims of improved bioavailability by preventing the degradation of creatine to creatinine in the stomach, while also improving physiochemical properties conducive of improved bioavailability. Yet again, the product failed to do so. In fact, not only did the addition of the ethyl ester not help, it actually was shown to accelerate the degradation of creatine to creatinine in an acidic solution. It can be estimated from such studies that the bioavailability of the creatine ethyl ester is actually far less than regular creatine monohydrate, which again, is already nearly 100% to begin with. Perhaps other manufacturers will finally get the hint that creatine monohydrate isn't going to be improved upon as there is virtually no room for improvement. Yet, that won't stop them as history has shown. Creatine monohydrate after all is an effective product. In fact, it's probably one of, if not the most scientifically validated dietary supplement in existence and it delivers real world results as well. But remember, the marketing arm of these companies are banking on the fact that creatine is such a great supplement; a supplement that has become a staple for nearly all athletes and weightlifters, that they want to create their own unique version, touting some supposed added benefits. But as you've learned, there is no such thing. Creatine Delivery System:Delivery Systems? Delivery Systems? You Talkin' Bout Delivery Systems? The lack of bio-availability is NOT what causes the side effects from creatine. It's the "loading phase" (20-30 grams per day!) that was initially touted (and still used by some today) when creatine first hit the shelves in the 90's...Absolutely "genius" in marketing, as the "loading phase" quadrupled initial sales and caused an almost instant water weight gain so users were thrilled... However, it wasn't all sunshine... Peak creatine concentration in the body has a ceiling. Meaning, when peak concentration is reached, the body has no more room for the extra creatine...So, it "flushes" it out...And this is why creatine got a bad wrap for not "absorbing" when, in essence, it was poor application... You only need a few grams of creatine per day, that's it...After 7-14 days, whether you take 30 grams of creatine a day or 2 grams of creatine a day, your blood concentration levels of creatine will be exactly the same... Geranium (1,3-Dimethylamylamine)Geranium has a long history of being used for many purposes in the food supply. It contains a compound that can provide a boost to your workouts & help you power through tough set after tough set - always ready to take on the next challenge. L-arginine alpha-ketoglutarate (AAKG)This particular compound was included in the formula as it may also increase strength and peak power performance. Yet as an added benefit, by including a very precise amount, in combination with other ingredients, one can also experience an increase in vasodilation, which can potentially increase the flow of nutrients to skeletal muscle, thereby enhancing muscular recovery. In addition, this vasodilation may result in increased glycogen storage, which in turn may increase cellular swelling of skeletal muscle. Based on animal models, this cellular swelling is hypothetically capable of producing anabolic effects in skeletal muscle, while at the same time, producing an increased "pumped" sensation in muscle, making your workouts all the more pleasing. ULTRA-CONCENTRATED, PHARMACEUTICAL-GRADE QUALITYYou may have noticed the ultra-concentration trend over the last few years that virtually every major corporation has used to conserve energy, reduce waste and lower costs. From cars to food to even household items like dish detergent... With the way our environment & economy is, we simply cannot afford any waste whatsoever. The price is just too high. The supplement industry is no different...As mentioned above, USPlabs Jack3d contains as many servings, and is more potent, than products three or four times its size. I mean, who the heck wants to pay for unnecessary fillers? USPlabs Jack3d is ultra-concentrated with only the highest quality ingredients available. No fillers, no artificial flavors, no dyes & Minimal packaging means the absolute strongest, healthiest and best value for you. How Does It Taste?In a word...AMAZING! Sure, you'll hear that from most companies, yet virtually all of the pre-workout drinks on the market are, at best, tolerable. And, let's be honest, most taste like crap...In addition, most drinks require 16-20oz of water (hey, all those fillers have to dissolve somehow!), leaving you bloated & sluggish...NOT the best environment for attacking the weights. USPlabs Jack3d requires only 4-8oz and is probably the best tasting pre-workout drink... ever! With pleasant Tropical Fruit Punch & Lemon-Lime flavors that goes down smooth and refreshing, you'll be shocked it's as potent as it is - it's simply a joy to drink! Quick USPlabs Jack3d RECAP: Key Ingredients may significantly enhances intensity, strength, energy, power, endurance, pumps & recovery No sugars No calories No Maltodextrin No More Monster Doses Of Magnesium No dangerous artificial dyes No filler ingredients-You are not paying for 2 base ingredients and 20 filler ingredients USP Labs is augmenting 3 systems to work together so they can keep up with each other during the workout. This is TRUE synergism. GREAT taste! Ultra-concentrated – needs only 4-8 ounces of water per serving! The BEST value you'll ever find in a pre-workout product FLUFF INGREDIENTS USP Labs doesn't understand this, but it seems that people love when there's 500 ingredients in a single product, when it's obvious that the ingredients are added in such miniscule amounts they wouldn't even have an effect on an ant! USP Labs guesses it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside as it makes you think "Wow, if 2 ingredients are good, 30 must be insane!" Well, the majority of the ingredients listed are there in trace amounts, meaning they won't do a damn thing for you, except deceive you into thinking you're getting ingredients that will actually help you. USP Labs knows their customers are intelligent & demand more and do not fall for the fluff, window dressing BS. You won't find trace amounts of ingredients in USPlabs Jack3d. Just the ingredients that will deliver dramatic results, every time.

Posted on 11/09/2012 3:43:19 PM PST by mojito
The Wednesday before the election, Mitt Romney sent a special message to volunteers about a special project his campaign was working on: With state of the art technology and an extremely dedicated group of volunteers, our campaign will have an unprecedented advantage on election day. What is it they say about something that sounds too good to be true? It probably is. That was the case with the Romney campaigns Project ORCA.
The idea behind Project ORCA was simple, albeit far too complex in execution. Romneys Boston headquarters wanted a way to track who had been to the polls in swing states, and who had not. It was the most complicated GOTV (get out the vote) effort in GOP history.
Starting in the early afternoon, reports were coming in from across swing states that ORCA had crashed. That morning, when Shoshanna [a GOTV volunteer] was on the phone with Boston, she was told the system was crashing, unable to withstand thousands of simultaneous log-ins. The system had never been stress tested and couldnt handle the crush of traffic all at once. Thousands of man-hours went into designing and implementing a program that was useful on one day and one day only, and on that day, it crashed. My source familiar with the campaign described it this way, It was a giant [mess] because a political operative sold a broken product with no support or backup plan. Just another arrogant piece of the arrogant Romney campaign.
(Excerpt) Read more at commentarymagazine.com ...
Read the whole sickening thing.
Personally I'll worry about this kind of stupid stuff after we stop voter fraud.
we have already read it since this is probably the 10th time it has been posted.
Willie and Orca...
2 whales of failure...
Posted earlier
Dems perfected big city machine politics and voter fraud more than a century ago and they're still going strong.
But the GOP better be able to do better than this. Or they can get used to losing a lot more often.
and I get more inspired each time I see it...
The CEO-in-chief proved to be not such an expert after all...
We tried the same thing in Wisconsin in 2002 for Gov. McCallum and it didn't work then either. Then we tried it with Palm Pilots in 2004, and it didn't work then either.
Well, there's your first problem. Come to think about it, it's really the biggest problem - a former NE liberal governor who lost.
I wonder who sold him the software, was it google, Facebook or some other 0bama supporting company.
Obama didn't win any state that hate voter ID laws. We need MORE.
sounds like stuff you deal with all the time!
... and they don't test project Orca to make sure it will work at the critical moment.
If that's not proof that the man would have been the perfect choice for a government job I don't know what is.
They've been around for years - and just like usual - all too many find all kinds of reasons to not vote.
Will you stop with the Obama didn't win any state that has voter ID laws crap? I live in OH and we HAVE voter ID - and obama took Ohio. Probably fraudulently, but he won it just the same. I keep reading this same line on every thread and its not true.
It's a great idea, but it should be in development now with testing planned for 2014. Of course, by 2016, technology will have moved on [and that must be accounted for in the design,] but a database is a database.
This sounds like a typical political cluster-you-know-what. The concept, IMHO, is sound.
OK, now I get what this is about.
Feel free to rag on the messenger.
LOL!!! 'Whale FAIL'.
FUN FACT: Obama Lost in Every State with a Voter Photo-ID Law
What Luck! Obama Won Dozens of Cleveland Districts with 100% of the Vote
Good News: Obama Won County in Ohio with 108% Voter Registration
Colorado Counties Have More Voters Than People
Obama Got Over 99% of Vote Where Inspectors were Removed; Turnout Somehow "30%" Above Gov't Numbers
LOL, a computer crash is caused by arrogance? Talk about a non-sequitor. This guy is probably an Obama voter. I've never seen anything as arrogant as the Obama campaign as was easily seen in the last 2 presidential debates and the VP debate and in the low brow, low class tenor of Obama's "trash Romney at all cost" tactics. Anyone calling Romney's campaign arrogant with Obama being the most arrogant person on earth was clearly never with the Romney campaign to begin with. Probably a mole.
Good links. Thank you.
Regular old fashioned knocking on doors and phone banks are the way to go...
no technology needed...
a printout of voters can be got from the election commision...
You're welcome. :-)
They had 30,000 eager volunteers sitting around ALL DAY with nothing to do...
what I would have done with that crowd...
doors to knock on...
phone banks and folks to call...
30,000 eagar beavers ???
with nothing to do ???
That's what we did in my county in Florida. We delivered the goods.
Willard was just an arrogent wuss...
he should have left off admiring his faded matinee idol "looks" in his mirror and got out and beat the bushes for voters like any one else...
But NOOOOOO Willard was too speshul too entitled...
and too durn big for his magik britches...
Whale fail
Yeah this time Capn Ahab got Moby Dick...
After the amount of time I and many others spent working on the Romney campaign (while holding my nose), this makes me sick to my stomach.
Yeah, the phrase 'improvise adapt and overcome' comes to mind.
Campaign managers dream...
I thought Chris Christie's embrace of Obama was Project Orca.
Campaign managers dream...
First, higher tech does not always mean better. To me, a smart phone is a really poor input device for most people.
I had a similar issue years ago, my employer had a light pen for media buyers to select dayparts on a screen, and as the system was on just one PC, it was a bottleneck and the light pen was a pain. I reprogrammed the process to produce paper reports that could be passed out, filled out and returned, and I entered in the results, far faster than they could, and they spent more of their time doing their real jobs.
A better idea would be to have scannable paper lists where a bubble is marked when a voter shows up - and have enough copies for them to be picked up hourly. Runners could pick them up, and you would have distributed points where someone is in a car with a laptop, a scanner and wifi. Easy to fill out, and if one car's laptop or scanner fails, run to the nearest one after that. Security is also improved this way - the campaign would control the access points. In the end, IMO this would have produced more speed of remote info than ORCA, and far better reliability.
Second, there were so many basic systems mistakes here it makes me wonder if the people running this had any experience actually managing systems. It was insane to think that they could give people access the day of the election and everyone would automatically master the interface within ten minutes.
A better plan would be to have a beta site and have a Saturday where everyone could log in and do a dry run. First, you would be sure their COULD access it. Second, it would make them familiar with the interface before the election. And third, it would provide close to real-world load testing.
Third, this was top-down. I would imagine you had some know-it-all MBA hotshot running this who had conference calls with suck-ups, none of whom had the balls to ask what the **** is going on with this crazy implementation plan. Someone who has no understanding of the **** happens factor, which is always there. I once had an MBA berate me about preaching that **** happens, and asked me to give him an example in his project plan of such happening. I told him that if I could do that, it wouldn't be **** happens and it would be in the project plan. Sure enough, it came in late and over budget because of unexpected problems. Seasoned pros with some humility use planning, testing, time and budget cushions, more testing, user acceptance, more testing and them rollouts rife with contingencies to deal with the inevitable problems that come up.
The real problem with ORCA was that they didn't even spot the obvious problems in their plan that anyone with two years of experience with running systems could tell them were coming at them like a freight train. But, then again, this is coming from the same bunch who thinks RINOs make the best presidential candidates, despite decades of evidence to the contrary.
Aren't you supposed to be busy voting for the Queen? I'd have thought that gave you enough to do. How'd the GOTV for the Royals go last time around?
So I don't understand all the end-of-the world stuff about how we would have won if only the system had worked perfectly. Just call everyone that you don't have confirmation has voted. In fact, there can never be a perfect system, because as several people have pointed out on other threads, pollwatchers must sit where they are told which may be just too far to hear every name, or people speak too softly to be heard, or there are too many at once in a large precinct. AND where we live in West Virginia, it is impossible to have pollwatchers under state election law (the only state of 50 where this is true because of Democrat one-party rule).
So if Orca is the Beached Whale project, the GOTV calls just go out to more people anyway, right?
I am absolutely not defending the technical people involved nor agreeing it was designed well or should even have been nationally centralized, but thinking that had it worked as well as possible, it would merely change the number of outgoing GOTV computer-generated calls; unless someone explains what else would be the point.
Yeah well I was a computer programmer in the military and when I was overseas they would send us new programs from the states that were usually having to be queeked bfore they could work in our system...
and that was 35 years ago...
does *** still happen of course as you said...
My question would have to be How could such "expert" CEO types like Willard and his cronies not TEST the stupid new soft ware to make sure it would actually WORK ???
As part of the project I am planning, I have investigated AUTOMATED STRESS TESTERS.
You don't even need to have live humans. You can simulate 10,000 artificial users with each copy of the program running on a different server. HOW HARD IS IT TO BUY A TESTING PROGRAM??!?!?
And that is basically what happened here.
They could have had a real-world stress test AND a full-scale beta test AND a user acceptance test by just allowing their thousands of carefully-vetted volunteers to bang on the app some Saturday several weeks before the election.
Instead, someone who apparently has no real-world systems implementation experience lived in a dreamworld that you switch on access the day you need the system to work - and the only day that the system can do anything for you - and despite years of accumulated experience to the contrary, it can be expected to deliver.
Bet they outsourced the coding to India.
I doubt coding was the problem here. Something this screwed-up requires really, really bad managers.
RINO File.
Be prepared to hear all about lots of voters staying home...the GOTV effort was f'd up.....Orca was flawed etc...the Bipartisan Oligarchy would rather we all stew in that mess..than having us all bothered, and deciding to investigate, about all the voters voting who never voted...
Listening to descriptions of how Democrats got out their ground game with superior ability to bring those to the polls who normally would never go by the commentators on Fox election night..made me realize..what they actually have done is track names that HAVE NOT VOTED IN MANY, MANY elections cycles....and vote them.
A well-funded project, county-by-county..to examine the names signed in at at the polls..and going out to find those individuals..youll find they were never physically at he polls..or they themselves never filled out the absentee ballot....or their names in the death registers.
In a way I am encouraged to hear this info about ORCA - it's one of maybe several missig links - after hearing about all the enthusiasm of Republicans going into election day, and the party identification advantage they had, it's been mystifying as to why the 'pub turnout was as low as it seems - it looks as though the 'rats had their usual GOTV A Game while the GOP had virtually none at all. As John Fund noted in talking about this fiasco on Fox tonight, one of the first things the Party should do in getting ready for 2014 is fire a bunch of the useless hangers-on consultants who've been bringing on embarrassments like this for years.......

Chapter 10
John seals up many things relative to the last days—He is commissioned to participate in the restoration of all things.
1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
2 And he had in his hand a little
3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
4 And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
5 And the angel which I saw
6 And
7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the
8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and

One of the reasons why we love our jeans so much is that it is comfortable and generally pieced together with functional yet classic details: belt loops, non-obtrusive functional back and front pockets, and the shape-structuring back yoke. Now, imagine if all of those elements came into play within an even more comfortable fabric? Tag Elements is the new knits collection, created by Designer and Owner, Orly Dahan.
DT: What is the inspiration behind the weaving technology? Is it a stronger fabric?
OD: The Elements line is made with double-knit stretch with a special finish, unique to Tag, that form fits comfortably without becoming loose or compromising the shape.
DT: Any celebrities or VIPs wearing Tag Elements?
OD: Celebrity moms including Mel B and Kelly Rutherford are fans of the collection, along with the American Idol finalists, including Crystal Bowersox.
"After working in the premium denim market, we used our knowledge of a perfect-fitting pant and created Tag Elements. The line is favorable for women as the varying silhouettes flatter every shape." – Orly Dahan
I tried on the bootcut in charcoal gray, and I couldn't believe how luxurious it felt. It's actually a fairly slim, straight leg with a slight bootcut opening. They were as comfy as my favorite yoga pants, but dressier. The Tag Elements collection works very well for the svelte figure, with a bootcut option that could work well with most shapes. If you need something cozy to slip into while your fave jeans are being workshopped by Denim Therapy, then I would definitely put Tag Elements on my short list of comfy, sophisticated surrogates.
Pros: Extra stretchy and smooth hand feel. No panty line show!
Cons: Ultra low-rise waistband which can hit awkwardly at the hip bone.
Overall: A great basic wardrobe staple you can wear all day.
Tag Elements can be found online and are also sold in select Bloomingdale's locations nationwide.

Blade of the Immortal
I havent saved enough money to start any other yet (i like to buy the volumes to support each manga i read...)
Here's my Top Five:
1.) Berserk
2.) Gantz
3.) Vagabond
4.) Vinland Saga
5.) Wolf Guy
some fell a lil short of the list:
homunculus - very psychological, different from anything ive read so far
ichi the killer - this is probably the sickest one ive ever read. this is the one that makes u go, "WTF!"
akumetsu - i dont like politics, but this puts a real nice spin on it. alotta violence, alotta talkin
Deadman Wonderland - thanks to some people that put it on their list, i went out and read it (up to the end of volume 05). this is real good, im addicted to it. i love the art, and the story is incredible. they throw the story at you so u ask urself questions like, "who the hell is that and why r they there" and things like that. every chapter is better than the last.
yeah yeah, i knew u guys were gonna say that psyren is a shonen but i put it there bcuz i liked it alot and i was further in that than the other ones. but now its a much later time, i really enjoy wolf guy, it really washes away the gay fruity booty image vampires and werewolves thing from twilight, and makes it all gruesome and just...MENACING. wolf guy is gangsta. must read.

3.) Vagabond
eh, I guess I only like 3 lol - mostly into Shonen and didn't care much for Hellsing, though the OVA's are really good.
A genre that is targeted specifically at older-aged males, typically in their mid twenties or so, and focus on darker themes and have less 'super powers' than are featured strongly in Shonen series.I've only tried reading ES out of these ones so I'll go with that.My top 5 favourite are here.

|In response to Re: Galvanized/Brass Fitting Leak
: I did a small DIY job to increase the supply diameter to a shower. The setup is 3/4" CPVC supply--> : 3/4"-1/2" galvanized reducing fitting--> : 1/2" galvanized extension pipe--> : brass shower control 'T'.
: I ended up with a minute leak (not even one drop/hour, but enough to keep things damp) where the 1/2" galvanized extension joins the 1/2" brass shower 'T'. I used plumber's grease in the joint, but still ended up with this small leak. I can't tighten the joint any more because the CPVC supply line is already in place and 'fixed'.
: Question: Is there any 'coating' (fingernail polish, polyurethane, etc.) that I can use to seal this small leak without having to take everything apart?
: Thanks in advance,
Take it apart and use teflon tape or paste

Readers' Choice Awards: The Bout is Over
Record number of readers select technology leaders.
The Chemical Processing 2010 Readers' Choice Awards survey proved popular — a record 1,265 readers participated in this year's poll. In the seventh year of our survey, it was a heavy weight bout to determine which companies readers consider the technology leaders in 48 categories.
"For a number of the categories it was difficult to pick a top vendor because I have different favorites within the general categories listed, depending on the specific need," explains one participant.
"It comes down to reliability," says another. "Cheap products will rarely succeed in the long run."
And thinking green was a major point of consideration for yet another. "I like any product that helps clean up the environment… They heal the tragic damages we do to nature."
Vendors feel like winning prize fighters when they make the list and see their names ahead of their competition. . Those who don't make the list can consider what they might do to improve their changes in next year's rematch.
Going the Rounds
Emerson Process Management remains the heavy weight champion as it has over the years, finishing first in seven categories and placing in four others. Emerson also continued to receive the most comments when respondents were asked to identify one technology provider as the best and explain why. "Emerson continuously tries to understand the customer requirements and improve upon them," says one respondent.
Several vendors achieved multiple mentions. Alfa Laval, Aspen Tech, Dow, Fluke and GE each earned two first place finishes. ABB, Endress+Hauser, Honeywell, Rockwell Automation, Siemens, SKF and Yokogawa all placed highly in multiple categories.
More details about the winning companies in each category are included on the following pages. For additional information about any of the vendors or products listed, we encourage you to visit www.ChemicalProcessing.com and search for bearings, pumps or any other category that interests you. Results from previous Readers' Choice Awards also are available online:

How Results Were Gathered
Readers received e-mail, notices, electronic newsletters, used a link posted on our Web site (www.ChemicalProcessing.com) or responded to Twitter and Facebook postings to complete the questionnaire. The survey was open for responses for just over one month. A total of 1,265 readers cast their votes about which vendors they consider technology leaders in 48 different categories. Categories were listed, but respondents had to enter the name of the technology provider in a blank text box. By not providing a pre-selected list of companies in each category, the survey avoided bias.
The rankings show the percentage of total responses in each category that a particular company received. We only list firms that got at least 5% of the votes in a category. Scores within 3% of each other should be considered a statistical tie.
And The Winning Reader Is
Robert Bowen, a research scientist with Caddock Electronics Inc., Roseburg, Ore. is the recipient of the 8GB iPod Touch, which was offered as an incentive to participate in the Readers' Choice survey. His name was randomly selected by computer from all of the respondents.

Popular Entertainment
This Museum's popular entertainment collections hold some of the Smithsonian's most beloved artifacts. The ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz reside here, along with the Muppet character Kermit the Frog, and props from popular television series such as M*A*S*H and All in the Family. But as in many of the Museum's collections, the best-known objects are a small part of the story.
The collection also encompasses many other artifacts of 19th- and 20th-century commercial theater, film, radio, and TV—some 50,000 sound recordings dating back to 1903; posters, publicity stills, and programs from films and performances; puppets; numerous items from World's Fairs from 1851 to 1992; and audiovisual materials on Groucho Marx, to name only a few.

Selena's Leather Outfit
- Description
- From doo-wop and country blues, to polka and hip-hop, Tejano music is made by borderland musicians forced to understand the value of cultural exchange. Performing a fusion of cumbia, pop, and contemporary Tejano music, Selena Quintanilla-Pérez (1971–1995) was a young star whose rise and hard-won fame in the United States and Latin American markets was cut short at age 23, when she was murdered by a business manager fired for stealing. Selena was a commercial success in ways unimaginable for her more rootsy predecessors like Flaco Jiménez, Freddy Fender, or Little Joe. This outfit, with its leather boots, tight pants, a satin bustier, and a motorcycle jacket, is an example of Selena's idiosyncratic style, wavering between sexy rebel and Mexican American good girl. Hailing from Lake Jackson, Texas, Selena was born into a family of musicians. Because she grew up speaking English, she had to learn to sing Spanish phonetically on her early albums that targeted the Spanish-speaking market. Ironically, her "cross-over" material for English-language radio was not released until the end of her career, shortly after her tragic death. Selena, who spent her childhood in her family's band entertaining crowds at weddings, restaurants, fairs, and other modest venues along the U.S.-Mexico border, remains enshrined in the memory of many as one of the greatest stars of Tejano music.

China Poblana Dress
- Description
- Mariachis, groups comprised of vocalists, trumpeters, violinists, and various bass and guitar players, are today considered Mexico's traditional musical ensemble. Originally from the state of Jalisco, mariachi music transformed itself from a regional to a national music between the 1930s and 1950s. Its accompanying attire is the fancy charro costume for men and the china poblana dress (like the one pictured here) for women. The thriving song, music, and dance culture surrounding mariachi today is the product of pioneering work by Mexican American educators and performers in the early 1960s. Mariachi instruction programs have since grown in popularity across Mexican American communities, with student mariachi ensembles beginning to perform as early as elementary or middle school. But Mexican American musical traditions began much earlier than the mariachi movement—they include styles as diverse as the choir music of the California missions and the corridos and ballads of San Antonio's Rosita Fernández (1925 1997). This china poblana dress, made in the 1960s, belonged to Fernández who, though performing a wide repertoire of Mexican song styles, is most identified with música norteña, rather than mariachi. Her sixty-year career as a local radio, TV, and theater star garnered her the title, "San Antonio's First Lady of Song."

Great For Blow Drying And DetanglingI've always bought random grocery store brushes, but this time I sat down and Folica's How To's and chose a bunch of new products. I got this one for blow drying my hair and I love it. I know you're not supposed to use a brush to detangle after a shower, but since I have long, thick, curly hair I just don't have much patience for a comb. I've been using this to brush out and then with my hair dryer. It easily goes through my hair and the large, vented surface area makes for quick drying of all my hair. A nifty feature I didn't notice until after buying is that it actually has a magnet at the tip of the handle so if you set it on a metal surface it stands straight up. This makes for easy grabbing when also holding a hair dryer.Dec 28, 2012Alison B. / Georgia, United StatesHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Great For All Hair Types!I have fine, curly hair and I really didn't think that this brush would work. But the first time I used it I was amazed. I loved the curved design; runs through hair flawlessly. It gets knots out of my hair almost every time and it has reduced my styling time by a lot! It does work best with wet hair but I have used it with dry hair and it worked fine. I would certainly recommend this.

Sale recorded their first win of the season after recovering from a 12-point defict at half-time to beat Cardiff Blues 34-33 on Sunday.
Sale Sharks recorded their first win of the season after recovering from a 12-point defict at half-time to beat the Cardiff Blues 34-33 at the Salford City Stadium.
The hosts looked down and out as they trailed early in the second half after an Alex Cuthbert hat-trick for the Blues, but Sale replacement Danny Cipriani turned the game on its head.
The former England fly-half scored Sale's first try to light the comeback spark and then helped set up two more, as the Sharks ended their six-game losing streak in thrilling fashion.
The Blues showed that they were dangerous from the very start, as Leigh Halfpenny gave Sale notification that the visitors meant business, striking a penalty goal on three minutes from five metres inside his own half.
Sam Warburton left the field with a suspected dislocated finger early on, but his departure didn't unsettle the Blues, as they eventually took control of the game.
Cuthbert opened his account on 16 minutes, put through by Jamie Roberts, adding his second only two minutes later, before getting his third in the closing stages of the first period, as he evaded desperate Sale hands after Marc Breeze had made the hard yards for him.
Sale also had their chances, but a dropped pass by Mark Jennings saw a score go begging. With four first half Nick MacLeod penalties to show for their efforts, Sale had it all to do in the second half.
Halfpenny added a second long range penalty minutes after the restart, just before Bryan Redpath introduced the mercurial Cipriani in place of Nick MacLeod and Cillian Willis for teenage debutant Nathan Fowles.
It was the summer signing from Melbourne who started the comeback, as he touched down six minutes after he entered the field, before the new half-back partnership were involved in the build-up to Jennings' debut try on 64 minutes.
Those tries sandwiched another kick by Halfpenny from within his own half, and with the score at 24-30 going into the final period, it was the home side who were beginning to gain momentum.
Indiscipline in the ruck by Lewis Jones led to him walking for a yellow card with six minutes to play, and in the following move, Tony Buckley drove his way over for a score that was eventually given after French referee Jerome Garces had consulted the TMO.
Rob Miller converted to put the Sharks in front for the first time, and the home support erupted as they realised that their side were on the brink of a first win of the season.
Further penalties from Miller and Halfpenny cancelled each other out as the game ended in a nail-biting finish.

For Sale:
Tries: Buckley, Cipriani, Jennings
Cons: Miller 2
Pens: Macleod 4, Miller
