Philip Attwood, Keeper, Coins and Medals
The British Museum has a world-famous collection of around 70,000 medals, but it's not often that we have the chance to get up close to a national icon. Just 100 years after Captain Scott of the Antarctic died during his ill-fated expedition to the Antarctic, the Museum has acquired a group of medals awarded to this internationally celebrated explorer both during his lifetime and posthumously. Together they form a glittering record of an extraordinary man.
The 24 medals always remained within the Scott family, passing from Scott's widow, the sculptor Kathleen Scott, to the couple's son, the well-known ornithologist and conservationist Sir Peter Scott. Following the death of Peter Scott in 1989, his widow Philippa Scott – also an active conservationist and an accomplished photographer – placed the medals on long-term loan in the British Museum, and, following the death of Lady Scott in 2010, they were allocated to the British Museum under the government's Acceptance in Lieu scheme. This arrangement has now been made permanent, and the medals now form part of our permanent collection. Descriptions and images of them all will soon be available on the British Museum's website.
The medals include the gold Royal Geographical Society medal, awarded to Scott in 1904 as soon as news arrived in England of his first Antarctic expedition's safe return to New Zealand. There is also a gold example of the special Scott medal commissioned by the Society from the sculptor Gilbert Bayes (illustrated here). This bears Scott's portrait on one side, and on the other an Antarctic scene complete with penguins. This medal was presented to Scott at a ceremony held in the Albert Hall on 7 November 1904.
Also within the group are Scott's Commander of the Royal Victorian Order neck badge, as well as Royal Victorian Order, Polar Medal and Legion d'Honneur miniatures.
Other awards come from geographical and other societies in Germany, Sweden, Denmark, France, Belgium, Austria, Italy and the United States, and reflect Scott's international status as an explorer. The silver medal of the Royal Geographical Society of Antwerp, awarded in 1906 (also illustrated here), has globes on both sides and quotes from the Psalms: 'The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof'. Other medals were awarded following Scott's death during his Antarctic expedition of 1910-13 as testimony to his achievements and his bravery.

Trust issues?
Good morning, beloved,
The quiet of the early morning, this morning there are no birds around to break the quiet. However there are always cars, and trains and motorcycles and trucks to shake up. This morning I strained to understand what God was showing me in His Word. The Bible study was not igniting a passion to study. A passion to connect with the questions asked of me. I closed the book not understanding and not connecting with where the author was taking me.
You see, I prefer to dig into the Word and nose around. Glean, connect other passages..fun stuff for little ol' me. Yet, if I am real here, I think the questions hit very close to home. I connected WAY too much with what the author was asking.
To delve into places in my heart that I prefer to keep shut, to open the floodgates..the Spirit is alive and active this morning. It is uncomfortable. And most likely, I need to truly hear where He is guiding me to look with eyes to see.
You see, I want to trust God. I cry out and ask for help to trust God. However, I am resembling a two-year old that shares her toy but then wants it back two seconds later. I give God my stuff, but when the bills keep coming, the car is breaking down, the health of the body is shaky..I run to find answers. Who can help us? When is that check coming? Should we take a loan? I begin my planning. Why? At the heart of it all, I believe this is all our fault and God is up watching me and shaking His head in disbelief.
Good mercies! Where can I find that truth in the Bible? Um, nowhere. There is no verse in the Bible that says God helps those who help themselves. Have I sinned? Have I done things to get me to this place? I suppose yes..my sin blackens. Yet, the sin that captures my heart now? I have trust issues.
Why? I look back. I see what our family has walked through and I think..I pray for this, it didn't happen. I pray for this, nothing happened. Those are the thoughts in my head. I confess that. I dive into the mire and muck around, throwing sludge all over me. My fault, God won't help this, shame, whatever the terms…I rub the sludge all over me. And I forget. I can't see…until..
Psalm 40: 2 He drew me up out of a horrible pit [a pit of tumult and of destruction], out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings.
The Lord comes in, right now, and says:
2 Corinthians 6:2 For He says, In the time of favor (of an assured welcome) I have listened to and heeded your call, and I have helped you on the day of deliverance (the day of salvation). Behold, now is truly the time for a gracious welcome and acceptance [of you from God]; behold, now is the day of salvation!
I am welcomed. Now. I am assured a welcome like no other. God listens when we call. God is always responding. God is always speaking. We need to be listening. I need to clothe myself with truth. For God is the one who has kept us warm. God is the one who keeps the lights on. God is the one who feeds us. God is the rock. God is the steadying grip on my shoulders.
Isaiah 2:22 Cease to trust in [weak, frail, and dying] man, whose breath is in his nostrils [for so short a time]; in what sense can he be counted as having intrinsic worth?
God has provided over, and over, and over again. So Satan, enough of your stupid lies. I know the truth and that sets me free. I am free indeed. For I have the God of Angel Armies and He is always, always, always by my side.
Pray on. Pray on.

Everything I read on your site seems to suggest that a shower seat sit within the pan itself, can it be done successfully outside the pan? For example, I purchased a kohler symbio shower pan and the set up at the home depot expo center had aseat in the display which was off to the side of the direction of the shower head, my thinking is to construct a solid seat outta wood construction, inset on the wall to the side of the shower head, cover it with waterproof membrane, then rockboard, with the bottom wall coming down on the edge lip of the pan. With proper pitch and little splah in the overall area I don't see why this wouldn't work? Any problems?

Saracens enjoyed a victorious opening to Aviva Premiership life at Allianz Park as they overcame Exeter Chiefs 31-11 on Saturday.
Saracens enjoyed a victorious start to Aviva Premiership life at Allianz Park as they defeated Exeter Chiefs 31-11 with a bonus-point on Saturday.
Exeter headed into the game keen to bounce back from their league loss to Sale, while Sarries lost to London Irish in their last Premiership game.
A slow start brought no points, and it wasn't until the 24th minute that the deadlock was broken, when Gareth Steenson's penalty opened matters.
The three points came after the Chiefs had been reduced to fourteen men following the sin-binning of Luke Arscott after a promising Saracens break.
Saracens were unable to make their numerical advantage tell, though three minutes after Arscott's reintroduction they hit back, when Charlie Hodgson dummied his way over. Hodgson dusted himself down to add the conversion, and it remained 7-3 to Saracens until half-time.
A lively start to the second period brought 20 points in the first 15 minutes following the restart, and the lion's share were scored by Saracens.
Hodgson's penalty on 43 put Sarries a converted try up, before Matt Stevens snapped up Neil De Kock's pass to crash over and put the hosts further in front.
Steenson responded with a penalty for the Chiefs, but the hosts were in again shortly after through Mako Vunipola's rampaging drive. Hodgson again added the conversion, and the points were settled when Vunipola added his second ten minutes from the final whistle.
Hodgson was again on target with the extras and, though Exeter had the last laugh through Richard Baxter's late consolation, Sarries were well worth the comfortable winning margin.
The scorers:
For Saracens:
Tries: Hodgson, Stevens, Vunipola 2
Con: Hodgson 4

Pros: Neutral with a slight warmth, and musical, good build quality
Cons: No usb port
Yulong D18 is the third DAC that I've owned and so far I'm very happy with it. My first DAC is Audinst HUD MX-1, after reading review on Headfonia and Head-fi (project86), I decided to go with the Audinst, then a few months later I bought the Dacport LX + Graham Slee Solo SRG II + HD650. It was a bundle and also my first step into the headphone world, before I was in IEM, after looking around in head-fi (seriously this website is bad for my wallet), I decided to give headphone a try.
My first set up is the Dacport LX + Graham Slee Solo SRG II + HD 650. It sounds good, really good, especially coming from IEM, at that time I thought I would be set for a while, then out of curiosity I try to pair the Audinst with the SRG II + HD 650, and from there, my trouble starts.
To my ears, the MX-1 sounds better than the LX, there are some parts of the LX that's better than the MX-1 but for me, overall the MX-1 still sounds better. This might have to do with my set-up, as I've heard other set up and the LX definitely sounds great.
How does the D18 compare with LX and MX1? I'd say it's better, it's more "real" if it's a way to express it, I can hear the instruments better it shows me where it is and let me focus on any aspect if I am to pick one, if not it's detailed but not harsh, and not overly smooth either, it's neutral. What comes in, comes out.
Oh and an extra bonus, bass is really good, it goes low, and has a nice punch to it. Really well done.
It wows me at first, but after spending more time with it, it WOWs you even more.
One way of expressing it is like this, remember the first time you finally get to watch an HD movie? And then get yourself a super nice monitor? It's like that, still depends on the movie but makes it better, everything, colors get better, definition gets better, even for fast paced action.I know this is an audio review but I'm still pretty new in doing review, and this is the best way I can describe it.
Overall I'm very happy with it, and how it performs.
For those who are wondering, since the D18 does not have USB port, I use a USB to S/PDIF converter, by matrix audio. And I know that this converter based on some reviews from other similar products (Stello U3, Kingrex,etc) does add something to the sound (food for thought).
Build quality of the D18 is good, I'm actually surprised on how good it is(built like a tank), definitely no problem, design wise can use some improvement but, that's a matter of preference.
I'd definitely suggest to give the D18 a try, it might just be the one you're looking for.
Now if only I can stop lurking around from head-fi…

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.

There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Visit the Heart Center Facebook community today!
Thanks to advances in medical and surgical care, most people born with serious congenital heart defects are now surviving long into adulthood. Because few defects are permanently "cured," however, these individuals require lifelong follow-up care.
At the Boston Adult Congenital Heart (BACH) and Pulmonary Hypertension Service at Boston Children's Hospital, we have a lifetime commitment to our patients. As part of the #1 ranked Heart Center, we offer a full range of inpatient and outpatient clinical services to adults with congenital heart disease and/or pulmonary hypertension, from diagnosis to cardiac catheterization and surgical repair. What's more, we're devoted to helping our patients maximize their physical, emotional, medical and social options. Today, these options are greater than ever.
Anne Marie Valente, MD - Outpatient Director, BACH Program
Our program cares for adult patients with all forms of congenital heart problems and/or pulmonary hypertension. We currently care for more than 6,000 patients, with some having been seen by us since childhood and others coming to us as a result of second opinion requests.
Michael Landzberg, MD - Director, Boston Adult Congenital Heart Program
The BACH service is one of only a handful of programs worldwide that trains leaders in the care of adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD), and all BACH fellows receive at least seven years of additional training after medical school. Staff members lecture locally, nationally and internationally.
Advocating for patients quality of life
Many of our doctors are involved with the American Heart Association (AHA), the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the Adult Congenital Heart Association (ACHA), a national, patient-run group that lobbies to improve the quality of life of adults with CHD through education, outreach and promotion of research.
A new option for those with damaged valves
Most hospitals treat patients whose congenital heart disease involves damaged valves through valve replacement surgery. But surgeons at Boston Children's have adopted novel techniques for achieving valve repair, rather than replacement, using patients' own tissues.
Boston Children's Hospital has been home to some of the greatest medical and social innovations for adults with congenital heart diseases. Our BACH service is staffed by specially trained doctors and nurses who are dedicated to:
By coming to Boston Children's, you have made the choice to learn more about who you are medically and more about the physical, emotional, medical, and social options available to you. These choices are greater than ever.
Today, more adults with congenital heart diseases are functioning at high levels in society, exercising, undergoing catheter and surgical based interventions and advocating for themselves and their medical peers.
By learning about all of your options, you become increasingly empowered in your care and your future. Our goal is to help you find your own pathway to medical success.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told."

In the 18th Judicial District, District Attorney Carol Chambers, a Republican, was term-limited, so the office was assured of having a new face.
Republican George Brauchler, who challenged Chambers in the 2008 party primary, was leading Democrat Ethan Feldman by a 54 percent to 46 percent margin, according to figures as of 8:50 p.m. Nov. 6.
Both men have prosecutorial experience, and both campaigns focused on retaining attorneys in the DA's office and on wise use of the DA's budget.
Brauchler urged taking more serious cases to trial instead of focusing on plea bargains, and said an office under his leadership would be "pro-active" in pushing for laws to protect citizens.
Feldman called for a respectful relationship with other parties in the criminal justice system, including victims, and placed an emphasis on the ethics of the district attorney's office.
The district encompasses Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties.

"When we're focused on the music, we're less focused on the pain or anxiety."
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — In the heart of a bustling chemotherapy treatment area, a cellist sits off to the side, playing his instrument for patients seated in open bays nearby.
Instead of trying to play over the cacophony of televisions, phones and chatter, Wayne Krigger strives to blend in and become part of the atmosphere, like a phone or a squeaking chair, while still helping patients relax.
STORY: Music can help retrain the brain
"That's the trick — not to be an intrusion but just to be a part of whatever is already here," said Krigger, who is part of Arts in Healing, a program of the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts that works to bring art experiences to health care facilities such as this one at the James Graham Brown Cancer Center on the University of Louisville campus.
Arts in Healing is about "healing on the emotional, spiritual level," said Kristen Hughes, who manages the Kentucky Center program.
Hughes stresses that Arts in Healing isn't formal music therapy, a discipline that she said requires special training. But musicians strive to let patients get in touch with parts of themselves they maybe "haven't been in touch with for a long time."
Lori Gooding, music therapy director at the University of Kentucky, said research has shown that music can have a positive effect on patients in medical settings.
"They feel more relaxed, they feel more comfortable ... because the music makes the environment more warm and welcoming and a little bit less scary," Gooding said. Also, "we have difficulty as people focusing on two things at one time. When we're focused on the music, we're less focused on the pain or the anxiety."
As Krigger played, colon cancer patient Beulah Donnelly, 66, of Shepherdsville, Ky., said the music "seems like it just calms me down."
Dr. Cesar Rodriguez, an oncologist and hematologist at Brown Cancer Center, brought the program to the institution early last year as part of an effort to help patients holistically, whether with music or exercise.
Taking care of patients isn't "just about the medicines that you have to give, and it's not just about the tumor," he said. "You need to treat the whole patient."
Krigger, the cellist, is one of three artists playing regularly at Brown center.
Flutist Gregory Acker said he tries to build a sense of community with his music.
"This is maybe the most important work that I could be doing as far as bringing art to people who really appreciate it," said Acker, who visits various sites to play the flute or drums.
When you're in a difficult situation, the art "becomes an island of creativity," he said. "I think there's a lot of strength in it."
The musicians play for patients who often are at the clinic for hours at a time.
Lisa Storm, 49, of Owensboro, Ky., was listening to Krigger while receiving chemotherapy for fallopian tube cancer. The drive here is about two hours, and a treatment can last four to five hours, which makes for a long day, she said.
The music is very relaxing, she said, adding with a chuckle, "I could probably go to sleep right now."
Krigger, a teacher in the University of Louisville Community Music Program, likes to play familiar tunes, such as Amazing Grace and Love Me Tender, usually finishing three or four songs before moving to a different area.
He strives to be a calming force and help cancer patients tap into their inner selves.
"It helps them remember things," whether happy or sad, he said.
Without the program, some patients might not be exposed to live music because of their financial circumstances or their medical condition, nurse practitioner Tracey Hoffman said.
"They want to go out. They want to be social, but due to their compromised immune systems, being out in big crowds, even going out to church, can oftentimes pose a challenge," she said.
"Something about that music puts you in a good mood," said Collette Caldwell, a visitor enjoying Krigger's music while sitting in the bone marrow unit with Patricia Riley, 63, of Louisville. "I don't know who came up with the idea, but it's a good idea."

Robert Barsamian is a Dallas based artist of Armenian descent, who during the 1980s decided to work through the questions of the Armenian genocide through art. The process has been time-consuming and obsessive, but also rewarding. Barsamian, like many 2nd and 3rd generation Armenian-Americans, deals with a past, as in the Holocaust, was hidden by the victim generation. It was only in the 1960s and 1970s that Armenians began to speak openly about the massacres of 1915-1922, now referred to my most academics and some governments as a "Genocide." Raphael Lemkin, the Polish-Jewish emigre who coined the word "genocide" became interested in the subject because of the stories he heard from his mother and grandmother, in his native Poland in the early 1970s, about the destruction of the Armenians.
Barsamian had attained commercial success for his largescale drawings and paintings of underwater swimmers before being mugged and shot in Dallas in 1986. That incident, together with his mother and grandmother's increasing openness about their experiences, caused him to focus upon the Armenian diaspora in his artwork.
Barsamian raises the important question: Can art help in understanding the history, the memory and the trauma?
"As a survivor of a violent armed robbery eleven years ago in Dallas, I began to identify with the victimization of my Armenian ancestors. Luco, my grandmother, spoke often of Armenia, the life she had there, and her story of survival. My mother was also a survivor.
These two women are the storytellers in my life and their stories have informed my art. I use symbolic images to represent the Turks, the Armenians, the atrocities, and the hope and strength of the culture."
- Robert Barsamian
"The Story of Luco." Room installations. Size varies. 1989-90.
Nestled among the mountains in the biblical land of Mount Ararat lies the village of Adana, home of my Armenians ancestors. It is a little known fact that catastrophic atrocities happened to these peaceful people not so very long ago. But, this is one story that has haunted me my entire life. This is my grandmother Luco's story, a survivor of the Armenian genocide. It was a beautiful summer day, warm flower-scented breezes passed softly through the villages in the valley. Luco and a few friend walked to the nearby fields to play and to hunt for birds for the evening's meal. In long sweet grass they lay with layers of petticoats lifted over their heads, as they scattered seeds and crumbs on their bellies. They waited in silence, giggling in anticipation. Silence-or they would not eat. The call of birds grew louder and clearer. Luco remembered when she felt their feet landing on her stomach. First one then two! How wonderful! Not yet. Now- Quickly! Down came the petticoats with a mastered movement over her catch. Triumphantly, the bird hunter returned. Luco's mother greeted her with a smile and warm embrace. She praised her for the catch she had brought home. Arm in arm they walked towards the kitchen. Thunder clapped in the distance. A look of fear came, for it wasn't a harbinger of rain - it was the thundering of horses' hooves approaching the village.
Stories of torture and death at the hands of the Turkish soldiers in the Northern villages had been heard. Grabbing Luco, she ran to the outhouse and pushed her beloved daughter down into the defecation and urine, telling her not to move or make a sound. It was the only place to hide and there was a chance the Turks would not find her. Children's screams filled the air and Luco's mother ran to the square to help. Her eyes filled with tears as she helplessly watched as children's hands were bound and brutally hacked off. In sport they forced the bleeding children to run from the village. A pile of severed hands was all that remained of the innocents. Luco's mother desperately sought a means to save her daughter. When an Armenian division of French troops came to the village, marriage arrangements were made in haste for 16 -year old Luco. Luco gave birth to my mother in the year 1918. Soon after the small family escaped via France to America. The Armenian people have suffered an injustice for 75 years. On April 24, 1915 three-quarters (1.5 million) of the Armenian people - men, women and children - were systematically and mercilessly murdered by the Turkish Government. As you read this statement the Turkish Government is pressuring the American Government to deny Armenian-Americans the right to declare, through an Act of Congress, that such atrocities ever occurred. The Turks have stated they will not allow access to vital military bases if America recognizes the official date of remembrance, April 24th. The Armenian genocide and its aftermath led Hitler to cite it as precedent for his own crime against the Polish and Jewish people. On August 22, 1939 Hitler declared: I have ordered my death unites to exterminate without mercy or pity men, women, and children belonging to the Polish-speaking race. It is only in this manner that we can acquire the vital territory which we need. After all, who remembers today the extermination of the Armenians?

Tries from Leo Auva'a, Fionn Car and Eoin O'Malley helped Leinster to a hard-earned 30-20 victory over Treviso in Italy.
Tries from Leo Auva'a, Fionn Car and Eoin O'Malley helped Leinster to a hard-earned 30-20 victory over Treviso in Italy.
The victory extended Leinster's undefeated run in all competitions to eight matches.
The visitors got off to the best possible start with Auva'a grabbing a try in the very first minute of the match. Fergus McFadden was on target with the boot.
Treviso responded almost instantly through a Tobias Botes penalty. His kicks would keep the hosts in touch for the entire game, but in no time the Italians found themselves nine points behind.
Carr was the man to put daylight between the sides, crossing following a swift counter-attack from Leinster, and McFadden added the extras.
Botes' boot narrowed the gap for Treviso, adding his second and third penalties of the afternoon as the game moved into the second quarter.
The final twenty minutes before half-time were uneventful. McFadden's penalty on 23 minutes made it 9-17, but Botes kept Treviso within a converted try with another penalty, and that's how it remained until the interval.
The first points of the second half went to Treviso and were came via yet another Botes penalty. And though McFadden restored the the advantage minutes later, the Italians were level on 51 minutes when Manoa Vosawi crossed for a try.
Botes was unable to add the extras and give Treviso the lead.
The hosts weren't level for long. On 53 minutes a McFadden penalty put Leinster in front and with little over 15 minutes left Eoin O'Malley put the game beyond their opponents when he crashed over.

Skip to comments.Obama Regime Demands Egyptian Government Release Morsi, Muslim Brotherhood Leaders
Posted on 08/19/2013 2:16:08 PM PDT by Nachum
(Excerpt) Read more at gopthedailydose.com ...
The demi-God Rah-Bama is not amused.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Al Qaeda backs Morsi.
Hussein backs Morsi.
Obama? Who gives a flip what he wants?
Release them into the Nile with the crocs!
This has been such an ugly scene I've been hiding my face from it most of the time. I'd sooner watch a freight train smack into an Amtrak. Mubarek? Not the Hosni who had been their president for many years?
Nothing over there makes any sense except as devil-driven men vying for the limelight. Sarah Palin had the right idea.
Hence, expect Morsi to remain behind bars at best and his power structure and the MB itself inside of Egypt (and perhaps even elsewhere) to be dismantled and eliminated.
Obummer can't effectively run our government, he'd best keep his nose out of other governments happenings, they just laugh at him.
Thank goodness nobody overseas cares what he has to say anymore.
Wow, that from a regime that uses the IRS for its political motivations...
Please keep those pictures safe and well distributed. The memory of those poor people is being covered up by each successive politician.
They won't release Morsi, but looks like they are going to release Mubarek.
Isn't Obama the one who went around the globe apologizing for the evil America doing exactly what he has been doing since he has been in office?
A few weeks before the military takeover ("coup" if you prefer), there was a photo essay on Egypt posted on FR from a publication whose name I do not recall. The essay showed the numerous ways in which the Morsi/IB government was running Egypt into the ground, and thus made the coup very easy for me to comprehend. Obama and his suck-up McCain are dead wrong on this issue.
Thanks for the instant laugh upon seeing the headline. Funny on multiple levels —
obama DEMANDS ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
release Morsi ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Obama administration calls for release of Mussolini
from Gran Sasso. Head of Italian government was duly
elected, Valerie Jarrett says.
If the generals are smart they would have Morsi tried and executed. Sure there would be blow-back but that will happen no matter what anyway.
So much tragedy...so necessary to remember!
The 0' regime didn't like the way things went with marxist Zelaya in Honduras and now want to make amends by having their MB Islamist thug have his way with Egypt.
Release the Krakin !
Morsi being alive would run contrary to about 5250 years of Egyptian history. They had no problem with erasing all memory of the previously deposed leader when it suited them.
After finding the 25 police recruits murdered this morning, tell Obambi to go to hell.
spit .. unmitigated revulsion
...politically motivated detentions should end...
Does Obama mean like the politically motivated harassment emanating from the IRS?
Obama is the hypocrite of the century.
0bama is reaching out to the MB so they'll keep their mouths shut about the plot to kidnap Stevens in Benghazi.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
And Sirhan Sirhan. And the Blind Sheik. Empty GITMO. Free any Muslim prisoners of the Infidels in our deranged infidel system.
Need to up the demands, then settle for the Brothers.
Were I an Egyptian Christian (Egypt successfully purged Jews in a highly successful act of genocide, hardly a peep from the world), I'd appreciate the support of the military and the Soviets. Sorry, Russia.
I expect that's exactly right. Obamuzzie would rather be convicted of sounding like a fool than be convicted of treason.
Why are those guys still alive? So long as they are alive they give the kenyan and the Europeans a stick to beat the generals with.
you can add mubarik to your list of exceptions.
The "blowback" would end shortly once the subject is no longer extant.
keep them locked up or permanently subdued
Releasing Morsi?
These generals do not have a death wish. That's why they reinterpreted the results of the election and threw the bastard out.
A democracy is NOT created simply by having a vote. We know that from years of totalitarian nations having votes.
What the generals should do is give Morsi a good water boarding and find out what his part in Benghazi was and what were his instructions from Obama. They should find out every little back room deal that Obama made with the MB!! As well as McLame and Graham. Then release the info to the American people.
It's time Obama goes over and leads the charge himself...see who follows...sure would be interesting if this was the 16th century, heck the beginning of the 20th! But then a weak idiot like this guy would never have been voted in.
I wonder what person he thinks is still listening to him? i wonder when the M B hood get tossed in the jails or lined up against the walls over yon how long it'll take for the bruthas to turn on him big time here.

If Morsi were released he might, just might, live for about 15 minutes.Thats the cost of fascism, or Islamofascism.
Yes, by all means , release Morsi!
The devil wags his tail and Obama jumps.
Well they did do a favor for The Dear Leader: They killed Ambassador Stevens.
"What the generals should do is give Morsi a good water boarding and find out what his part in Benghazi was and what were his instructions from Obama. They should find out every little back room deal that Obama made with the MB!! As well as McLame and Graham. Then release the info to the American people."
Then, buy time on Al Gorebull warming former TV channel and run it 24/7 until Obozoliar, his Chicago thugs and Muslim Brotherhood thugs run off to a foreign country seeking exile.
Haha..yes!! Sounds like a plan.
Right, because Obama actually BACKS the Muslim Brotherhood (known as Hamas elsewhere in the middle-east).
I swear, Obama's finally exposing just how EVIL he actually is. I sure hope America wakes up....
"Obama Regime Demands Egyptian Government Release Morsi, Muslim Brotherhood Leaders."
The pr*ck comes back from his taxpayer vacation and rubs our noses in it once again. He has a dog flown to Martha's Vineyard on it's own helicopter. What does the muslim in the white house do? He gets ANOTHER dog just to let us know that next time he'll use two helicopters for his dogs.
Does Obama think that just because he's POTUS that the office gives him leverage? Maybe in the beginning, but not after showing how inept , inexperienced, and possibly determined to destroy America he is to the entire world.
No one will give him a damned thing, they just laugh. Or they take it and don't follow up on their end. It's outrageous.
Obama is wrong again. The Egyptian military is trying to preserve their political process without the people being governed by the cruel and tyrannical Sharia law. America should fully support the Egyptian generals and abandon the Islamic Brotherhood.

"When the world zigs, zag"
This philosophy was born out of the first print execution we ever produced back in 1982 to launch black Levi's. It became something of a model for our own business…and how we approach Client's problems always seeking to challenge the prevailing or conventional wisdom.
The philosophy has created moments in our own history when we decided to go against the grain of our industry. We were the first agency to become financially transparent. We were the first agency to create a micro network to serve global business. We were the first agency to recognise the need for channel planning to be at the heart of all creative development so we created a discipline called Engagement planning.
Engagement planning, not to be confused with media planning, is focused on understanding the consumer journey, bringing clarity to the roles different channels play in the marketing mix, identifying how brands can be built through interaction and participation, and most importantly using disruptive channel thinking to get to bigger ideas that deliver a step change in communication effectiveness.
At BBH, we believe in one central belief; that big, enduring ideas are the key to successful communications that create value for our Clients. It was true in 1982. It is even more true today. And in an increasingly complex and competitive world, it will be truer still tomorrow. So everything we do and all our structures support that single thought.

HOME, the short film co-produced by Black Sheep Studios, BBH London's in-house production unit, Somesuch, and DokuFest, the Kosovan film festival, was last night awarded the BAFTA for Best British Short Film.
The powerful 20-minute short film, supported by UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, launched in 2016 to address the refugee crisis. Starring Jack O'Connell and Holliday Grainger, HOME was shot in three countries - the UK, Kosovo and Albania.
As thousands of men, women and children attempt to get into Europe, the film sees a comfortable English family experience a life changing journey of their own. The film presents a less common route of using an entertainment format to communicate a message, rather than a traditional commercial format.
Written and directed by BAFTA-winning director, Daniel Mulloy (BABY, ANTONIO'S BREAKFAST, DAD), HOME aims to remind the viewer that refugees are just like you or I - fathers, mothers, sons and daughters – for whom the meaning of the word "home" has undergone a traumatic re-evaluation.
The film was funded and produced by Black Sheep Studios, Somesuch and DokuFest, with donations from Open Society Foundation-London, United Agencies in Kosovo, USAID and the film's cast and crew, among many others. Coldplay, Dizzee Rascal and Wiley all donated music for the soundtrack.

The English Learners website has a new, fresh look with all of the same great information! Please note that the English Learners section has moved to dpi.wi.gov/english-learners. We appreciate your patience during this exciting transition!
The purpose of the Bilingual and ESL programs in the state of Wisconsin is to assist school districts serving students who are English language learners (ELLs) to become proficient in academic English and prepared for their continuing education, and career readiness goals. In the 2012 school year, Wisconsin serves nearly 47,000 ELLs students. While Spanish is the largest language group and Hmong is the next most frequent home language, there are over 137 identified spoken languages by our students. In addition, our ELL students are registered in 80% of the 424 school districts across Wisconsin.

Program Overview
Program Overview
The Neuroscience Curriculum (NBIO) stresses a multi-disciplinary approach to the study of the brain. More than 75 faculty members in 12 departments and 5 specialized research centers participate in this interdisciplinary program. The Curriculum facilitates communication between these neuroscientists across departmental barriers in order to:
- Provide PhD training that incorporates a broad interdisciplinary background.
- Provided opportunities for thesis work in laboratories representing the full spectrum of modern neuroscience research.
- Promote the very latest technical approaches.
- Facilitate collaborative, interdisciplinary and translational research.
We also encourage increased communication and interactions among neuroscientists at UNC and neighboring institutions (Duke University, North Carolina State University, National Institute of Environmental Health Service (NIEHS) and North Carolina Central University) by sponsoring seminars, symposia, journal clubs, and conferences. Finally NBIO strongly supports and fosters the exposure to a broad range of potential careers through the (Training Initiatives in Biomedical and Biological Sciences) TIBBS Program. TIBBS offers information, seminars, workshops and individual guidance for all biomedical career options, including academic, government, pharmaceutical and scientific publishing.
The following documents describe the program in more detail.
Benchmarks and Deadlines:(.pdf) This document describes the timing of specific benchmarks and deadlines for students in the program.
Dissertation Committee Guidelines:(.pdf) This document describes the required sequence of committee meetings, the way in which the Dissertation Guidance Committee should conduct the committee meetings, and the expectations of the both the students and the committee members- in process of being updated, will post soon.

In terms of mecahnics, there is a lot more room in there than the nose of an F1 car.
• Transmission is a 5 speed plus reverse longitudinal design with electrical sequential paddle shift actuation. The differential features an efficient variable torque steer/differential speed-controlled planetary final drive reduction layout with the entire transmission weighing only 33kg.
• Vehicle weight distribution is necessarily more rearward than traditionally seen with 72.5% of the mass between the wide track larger rear tires.
• 76% of the aerodynamic downforce acts on the rear of the car which has a lift to drag ratio of >5.0.
• Rear wheel drive coupled with the rearward weight and aerodynamic distributions greatly enhances inline acceleration capability.
• Unique amongst today's racing cars, more than 50% of the vehicle's braking force is generated behind the center of gravity giving a dynamically stable response.
• Locking propensity of the un-laden front wheel at corner entry is greatly reduced due to virtually no lateral load transfer with the narrow front track/wide rear track layout, steered wheel "scrub drag" moment is virtually zero greatly increasing tire utilization and reducing mid turn understeer.
gridwalker wrote:Personally, I hope they dominate.
Everyone had their doubts about the funny little rear engined cars that John Cooper entered into F1 alongside the traditional front engined cars, but look where that ended up ... people are always reluctant to adapt to a new form factor or engineering methodology (Carbon Fibre chassis were originally written off as fragile and dangerous) but sometimes these oddball technologies become an epoch-changing development.
I wish them all the best at Le Mans, but I doubt they'll live up to my hopes.
Jersey Tom wrote:The thing about majority of braking force coming from rear wheels being inherently stable is a load of BS.. as are many things in the DW design IMO.
Jersey Tom wrote:Their claim from ages ago, diff aside even, is that braking coming for the most part from the rear wheels gives some inherent stability. I suspect, they came to this conclusion from the lateral offset of longitudinal axle forces (from body sideslip) and some resulting restoring moment from those longitudinal forces.
However, braking stability is about lateral forces, not longitudinal.

The virus effect
When I woke up, my throat was still sore and my nose was running, but the symptoms weren't really uncomfortable enough to justify putting off my planned long run, which I felt I needed to complete just to see if I stood any chance of finishing the 50K I entered this coming weekend. I haven't really experienced an even remotely good run since mid-July, so I wasn't expecting much. I took off toward Black Mountain in the heat of the afternoon, tapping a deep well of motivation to at least jog the 7-mile, 3,000-foot climb up a dusty trail lined in spider webs and thorny bushes. I broke near the top and walked a bit until the dizziness abated and the thorny bushes stopped spinning. But as I crested the peak and turned around, I realized that I felt kinda OK. Actually, I felt pretty good. I took off down the trail on an seeming set of wings, pumping fire that was only partly contained by my clumsy legs' fear of running downhill. A few more rollers and I wrapped up a sub-three-hour 15-miler, which for me and 3,500 feet of climbing is probably a PR.
Returned home with legs feeling fresh and new — but, sure enough, the sore throat and congestion is still there.
I wonder if I really have that awesome of an immune system, or maybe just the world's most ineffective cold.
8 comments:
Bof! I'm experiencing the same thing - two weeks after the Tour Divide, I ride up Mt. Evans from my doorstep in record time and the next 3 weeks, I'm in a never-ending cold, starting on the eve of my ride.ReplyDelete
My only salvation is telling myself this helps me somehow recover but I always feel like I'm losing all my hard-earned fitness!
I have gone through your post and found some information which is quite important for me.ReplyDelete
So, please keep it up with your these kind of posts.

Maybe its allergies? Post nasal drip can cause the sore throat. Congestion can cause dizziness and even nausea. Often the congestion is just in the upper areas of the nose/ear "system" and not particularly noticeable.ReplyDelete
If you feel fine otherwise, take a couple of antihistamines you know you tolerate well--I like Sudafed--and if you feel normal in 20 minutes then a good chance it is allergies.
Allergies often develop months or years after moving to an area.
