I've certainly been vocal about the things I don't like about the line, but I definitely have to echo the kudos for TG on this one. It must have been a quality bit of salesmanship to get Mattel to buy off on this.
And I feel incredibly proud of US as a community. We DID IT. We have the POWER...
After the doom-and-gloom following the disappointed subscription numbers, I truly believe that this should also be a tremendous wake up call for Mattel. I mean, at 250 a pop, Castle Grayskull is a living proof that WE are ready to spend massive amount of money to get what we want.
So less obscure, forgotten artwork... More iconic MOTU legends. Long live MOTUC!

And let's not forget Mattel management as long as we're handing out back-slaps and handshakes. They took the evidence that such a thing might sell well from the Hoverboard pre-order and thought it would similarly help to push Grayskull. Scott I'm sure has played honcho in helping to keep Grayskull on their minds throughout the years, but he didn't pull the trigger on a yay or nay. That was Mattel mngt and of course ultimately the fans for buying in.
Harken the coming of Dragstor!!
The Year Of The GOAT Is Upon Us
Still very excited!
It's going to be SUCH a long wait LOL.
I'm curious what the "design team" will be comprised of... is it the 4H and Reuben? Is it Baena? Who?
A Want List of Sorts: at this point... I just hope there is a 2017...

It was never in any doubt. And I reckon the sculpt was pretty much completed a long time ago. You can't produce precise blueprints based on guesswork.

I think the Castle itself was given the greenlight a long time ago.
I wonder how long it will take to sculpt. Will Eric T. do the entire thing or will all the 4H share the sculpting and CB's fabrication work? Seems like a lot to do + all of the other figures they need to make. I guess that's why they are who they are!!!
I will NEVER believe that Mermista beheaded Mer-Man! You sit on a throne of lies.... and smell of beef and cheese, bio writer!!!!
After looking at my figures day in and day out, I can't believe in a year we will have a home big enough for them to walk through the front door! 2013 could be the best year of all time.
For anything like a vehicle, its almost a must, because you can create a very complicated piece in a short amount of time, and just have the pieces printed out for a prototype. The same drawings can then be used to make the parts for the production piece. The company I work for part time makes items for SONY, manly video game props. They can take the files for weapons in a video game, email it to this company. They can then use a 3D printer and print out a physical piece and create a full size replica of the weapon used in a video game.
I'm sure for something like a figure, half the fun is sculpting it, but for anything large scale, they might sculpt it virtually and go through a few prototypes. They may even have a buck cut out, and sculpt over it to finesse it with more detail.
Forgive me if this has been asked previously, but if we've already ordered one and then decide to order another before January, will shipping be combined for both? Thanks in advance.

The only way to take the sculpting duties away from the FourHorsemen on this, ultimate Castle Grayskull, would only be done by taking it from their cold dead hands.
That said, I'd guess that all the Horsemen will work on this in some capacity, it's the biggest thing they'll have ever done. Plus I've no doubt Mattels design team will have some input.
Tytus will help too right? it takes a village to build a castle right?
We already have it on good authority, the blue prints were created by both Reuben and the FourHorsemen. Scott said basically as much at the Matty panel at NYCC.
I've said it before, and happy to say it again, HUGE thanks to Scott for fighting so hard for this, and big thanks again to Mattel for approving this and giving the line the benefit of the doubt.

I got my credit card statement today and the $270 charger wasn't listed,though my order was submitted.So,everythings cool.A few folks said they got charged for Castle Greyskull.
Hey all I was out of the loop for 8 months can I still order this? How would I do it or is it all gone? Thanks
Still got a couple weeks! but it's not to late YET!!
Oh wow! Thanks sooo much my good friend I wonder how much shipping will be for 20lbs? Plus tax too. I guess they did say it will be more on the matty site for this? So preorders is going to be the cheapest way to get this. I wonder if they will reissue this later on down the road like all the older figures? Its going to be tough for me to squeeze this in my budget. But it's castle gray skull I really want it! Don't know what to do yet, at least I have 3 weeks to decide.

I have a long and narrow field (about 600 yds x 200 yds) with some nice factors (rolling, tree clumps, brush piles).
We've been running several marking set ups here over the last month in different sections of the field - some overlapping sections. In addition, we've been running the 3 leg pattern blinds there in a part of the field that we use for marking set ups at a different time of the day.
The past couple of days it seems like my pup's marking and memory has deteriorated a little bit. Aside from handler error - is it possible that I'm over using this field and causing confusion by using the same sections for different purposes and set-ups?

Ray Allen exercises player option to return to Heat next season
The Heat announced Friday that guard Ray Allen has exercised his player option and will remain with Miami for the 2013-14 season.
Allen, 37, signed a two-year, $6.3 million contract with the Heat in 2012 after spending the previous five seasons with the Celtics. What initially looked like one of last summer's best signings paid huge dividends in Game 6 of the Finals against the Spurs, when Allen hit a three-pointer to force overtime. The Heat, trailing in the series 3-2 at the time of Allen's shot, went on to win in overtime, take Game 7 and secure their second consecutive NBA championship.
Why break up a good thing? Allen's decision hardly comes as a surprise. The 10-time All-Star got exactly what he wanted from Miami: the second title of his career. Miami got exactly what they wanted from Allen: floor-spacing three-point shooting and steady play in the postseason.
Miami is in position to return virtually its entire rotation as the pursuit of a three-peat kicks into full gear next season. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Mario Chalmers, Udonis Haslem, Shane Battier, Mike Miller, James Jones, Rashard Lewis, Norris Cole and Joel Anthony are all under contract for next season. Reserve big man Chris "Birdman" Andersen expressed a desire to return to the Heat during a rally celebrating the team's title earlier this week. Allen averaged 10.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in 79 appearances last season. The NBA's all-time leading three-point shooter in terms of both makes and attempts also shot 44.9 percent from the field and 41.9 percent from deep in 2012-13.

SMV Ponderings
Located in the heart of Elm Grove, St. Mary's Visitation School provides exceptional academics and faith formation for grades K3 through 8.
St. Mary's Visitation Back to School 2012
Welcome to the new school year! We are so proud to welcome 301 students to our school this year. We have 65 new students and we are so happy with our increasing enrollment. This is a testament to the success of our school and the pride we take in our academics and faith.
Students started school this week to find newly painted walls of bright colors! In addition to the painting, new blinds have been ordered for 8 classrooms. New lunch tables will be coming soon for our cafeteria. Our Afterschool Care room / K3 classroom has undergone a complete makeover. SMV will be ordering new risers for our stage to use for Christmas and Spring concerts. All of these new items were purchased through the generosity of our Home and School Association!
Welcome to all of our new families, including our K3 and K4 students.
Father Peter Berger
Welcome Fr. Peter Berger! Here is Fr. Peter's own introduction prior to his arrival in July, 2012:
I was born on June 20, 1978 in Janesville, Wisconsin. Shortly after I was born my family moved to Wauwatosa. We lived just a few blocks away from St. Mary's Elm Grove and were members there until I was five years old when we moved to a different part of Wauwatosa and joined St. Jude Parish where my family continues to be members. Both of my parents are living and I have two younger sisters, one who is finishing up her teaching certification with plans to teach in a Catholic school and my other sister who teaches Second Grade at Mother of Good Counsel Catholic School in Milwaukee.
I graduated from St. Jude Grade School in 1992 and then went to Wauwatosa East High School (Class of 1996) and entered the Saint Francis Seminary College Program upon graduation from high school and at the same time completed my undergraduate studies at Marquette University, receiving a bachelor's degree in theology and philosophy in 2000. Following graduation I entered Saint Francis de Sales Seminary where I received my formation for the priesthood.
I was ordained a priest on May 21, 2005 and was assigned as Associate Pastor at Lumen Christi Catholic Church in Mequon. I spent five years there as Associate Pastor and had a wonderful experience. In 2010 I was assigned as part-time Chaplain at Pius XI High School and part-time Associate Vocations Director before becoming full-time Vocation Director in May of 2011 and will complete my assignment in the Vocations Office in late June before beginning at St. Mary's.
One of the things I realized during my time in the Vocations Office was how much I truly missed parish ministry. I enjoy being a part of a parish community and being a part of people's lives in the ways a parish priest is called to be. I am thrilled to be assigned to St. Mary's and I am truly looking forward to getting there and to begin to get to know people and to once again be a part of a parish community. I know how patiently and prayerfully the people of St. Mary's have waited for a full-time priest to be assigned and that seems to me to be a testament to the prayerfulness and faithfulness of the people of St. Mary's and their confidence in God and the leadership provided by Deacon Piontek and the staff during this time of waiting.

The NYG&B presents Stephen P. Morse, originator of a series of fabulous "One-Step Websites," for a full day of lectures and discussions about getting the quickest and most effective use from online data sources. This is your chance to learn from one of the nation's leading innovators in advanced online genealogical research. This event will be useful to people at all levels of expertise, because the applications discussed are, from the researcher's perspective, easy to use. The event takes place in the commodious South Court Auditorium of the New York Public Library on Saturday, April 27. Seating is limited, and this program will be sold out; please book a prepaid reservation in advance.
Cost: NYG&B members, $60/Non-members, $90

Program Details:
The One-Step Program
One Step Web Pages Part I: Genealogical Research Tools
The One-Step website (www.stevemorse.org [3]) started out as an aid for finding passengers in the Ellis Island database and was then expanded to help with searching in the 1930 census. Over the years it has continued to evolve and today includes about 200 web-based tools divided into categories. Subjects covered include Castle Garden records; censuses of the United States, Canada, and Great Britain; the New York State census; ports of immigration; and others. This presentation will describe the range of tools available.
One-Step Web Pages Part II: Lesser-known Gems
A sequel to Part I, this talk focuses on websites that are not well known but are exceptionally useful to genealogical researchers. Topics include problems historians encounter with genealogical online searches, identity theft, and DNA interpretation, among others.
Deep Linking and Deeper Linking: How to Get the Most out of Existing Search Applications
Deep linking provides a means of optimizing the information extracted from existing third-party websites in general, and from search applications in particular. Various means of deep linking are introduced such as URL editing, using search forms, and placing a man in the middle (a form of filtering). No technical knowledge about webpage programming is assumed.
Navigating the New York Census without Tears
The most valuable state censuses for genealogical purposes are the 1905, 1915, and 1925 censuses because that was a time of large influx of immigration. Numerous assorted aids for navigating through those censuses exist, but they are often hard to use or limited in scope. The One-Step website puts a universal finding aid online that covers all the boroughs of New York City in each of the three census years.

Arrhythmias are uncoordinated or irregular contractions of the heart muscle caused by a problem in the electrical system of the heart. Some arrhythmias are benign and will not affect your overall health or cause symptoms. Others may be more serious and require treatment.
It may help to first understand how the heart should work. The heart is made up of 4 chambers:
The contraction of these 4 chambers needs to be coordinated to be able to efficiently move blood throughout the body. The atria contract first to push blood into and help fill the ventricles. Then the ventricles contract to push blood to the body or lungs. The nerves of the heart stimulate and coordinate the heart muscles in an organized manner:
The electrical signal starts in the sinoatrial (SA) node in the right atrium.

Arrhythmias may affect the timing of the contractions between the atria and ventricles or the speed and strength of contractions of 4 different chambers. Arrhythmias can be:

'Capturing the Cosmos'

Princeton junior Cody O'Neil traveled to Chile to practice astrophotography with the support of the Martin A. Dale '53 Summer Award, a $4,000 stipend given to a handful of students to pursue an independent project not connected to academic coursework. Read more.
Video Closed Captions
CODY O'NEIL: I had heard of the
Dale project in me early
sophomore year.
There was talk around campus
about this possibility to go
and spend a summer in place
of choice and do
an independent project.
I had just recently taken
a course in the astro
One portion of that course
was astrophotography.
And it required us to go out
and take photographs
of the night sky.
That was something I
hadn't done before.
I always had a passion for
astronomy and cosmology.
And I thought that the Dale
would be a really neat
opportunity at this point in
my undergraduate career to
take that small section of that
course and turn it into a
project myself and go and
photograph the night sky in
Chile in South America.
The highlights of my entire
trip down in Chile was
actually my third day
in the country.
I had the opportunity to go
about 75 miles into the
Atacama Desert.
And I went in there, there was
an astronomer who basically
living out in the
Atacama Desert.
He had a small home that he
built there for himself as
well as an observatory.
I went up to the top of the
observatory there and it was
new moon, meaning there
was absolutely no
moonlight at all.
It was just the start light
in the sky above.
And the professor looked at me,
he told me to hold my hand
over top of my camera.
And as I put up my hand up above
my camera like this, I
could actually see the shadow of
my own hand on the camera.
That shadow was from the light
of the Milky Way galaxy.
At that point I realized I was
standing quite literally in
the shadow of the stars which
was quite a wild experience.
I think a lot of the time it's
easy to be intimidated and
challenged in ways by the
universe as we are
familiar with it.
And that really shakes
our sense of place
a lot of the time.
And we struggle to root
ourselves here on planet earth
when we're standing
beneath something
that's truly so vast.
And so what the trip really
allowed me to do is to go
closer to the stars in
a certain way through
photographing them, and learning
about them, to
realize my own connection as
being an earthly inhabitant,
but also one of the sky's.
One of the great things about
the project, specifically with
astrophotography is
that it was very
interdisciplinary in a sense.
It forced me to consider,
as does the liberal arts
education here at Princeton,
connections across varying
academic disciplines that you
might not see going in.
And so the fact that philosophy
blends in with
astronomy, and there's this
artistic component in the
actual photography itself
is fascinating.
That one can realize the true
value and not tying himself
down to one specific area of
interest but rather force
themselves to see the
connections between them.
If there was any sophomore that
was uncertain or perhaps
a little hesitant to apply for
the Dale, I would encourage it
on all regards.
It is truly a very unique
opportunity to not only get
out there and explore interests
further but to
really challenge yourself.
And having eight weeks, and
being in a place that you're
completely unfamiliar with,
and start asking questions
that you really otherwise
And putting yourself in a brand
new environment in the
case of mine, being tossed
into the desert and lying
beneath the stars, and forced
to ask questions that
otherwise wouldn't.

Marking the Battle of Trafalgar - Thursday, 20 October 2011
The Royal Armouries marks Lord Nelson's famous victory at the Battle of Trafalgar on Sunday (October 23) with the firing of a 206-year-old gun, of the kind used on board HMS Victory in 1805.
A uniformed crew of sailors will fire the restored 12-pounder gun at Fort Nelson, near Fareham, at 12 noon and 3pm to mark Trafalgar Day, which actually falls on Friday (October 21).
Fort Nelson – home to the national collection of artillery and cannon – will ring to the sound of the original 1805-dated muzzle-loading, sea service cannon, used commonly on Royal Naval ships at Trafalgar, including HMS Victory.
Head of Royal Armouries South, Sean Mannie said, "The crew will wear uniform dating to the period – 1805 – and the gun firings promise to be quite a spectacle. This year we are marking the anniversary on the Sunday, as that's traditionally a busy day for us and allows the maximum number of visitors to see the gun firings."
Horatio, Lord Nelson, has held a special place in local people's hearts for over 200 years – and his monument stands proudly on Portsdown Hill, next to the Royal Armouries Museum at Fort Nelson. The monument was paid for by the men of the fleet who fought at Trafalgar and from prize money.
Nelson masterminded the defeat of the French and Spanish from his ship HMS Victory, now docked at nearby Portsmouth. The battle cost him his life, as he died onboard after being hit by a French sniper's bullet. The victory at Trafalgar meant that Britain was safe from invasion and was the world's strongest naval power for many years.
Museum admission and the gun firings are free.
Fort Nelson has recently undergone a £3.5 restoration, supported by a grant of over £2m from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
As well as gun firings, visitors can explore the 19-acre Victorian fort and see the new galleries and visitor centre, including Café 1871. One of the highlights is the Voice of the Guns Gallery – showcasing 14 of the Royal Armouries' most famous exhibits, including two sections of the Iraqi Supergun and the Turkish Bombard, dating to 1464.

Greg Ross
Anthropologist Donald Johanson is the founding director of the Institute of Human Origins at Arizona State University. His most recent book is Lucy's Legacy: The Quest for Human Origins (Harmony Books, 2009).
Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
I am a paleoanthropologist interested in early human evolution in Africa. I began work in Ethiopia in 1970, when I was a grad student at the University of Chicago under F. Clark Howell. In 1974, at the site of Hadar, I found a 3.2-million-year-old partial skeleton, popularly known as Lucy. Until recently this was the oldest and most complete skeleton of an early hominid ancestor. In 1978, based on the large fossil hominid sample from Hadar, as well as hominids of similar geological age from Laetoli, Tanzania, my colleagues and I named a distinct early human ancestor species: Australopithecus afarensis.
In the mid-1980s I directed paleontological explorations at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, where a very fragmentary skeleton of Homo habilis was recovered. In 1990 we reinitiated fieldwork at Hadar and have recovered additional A. afarensis fossils, including, most importantly, complete male and female skulls of this ancient hominid species.
In addition to my traditional scientific role, I have dedicated a great deal of my time to sharing and explaining the importance of human origin discoveries to the general public, who have a deep interest in knowing where we have come from and how we have become the most intelligent and most influential species on the planet. I have tried to communcate the importance of human evolution through a number of venues, including television (my NOVA series was nominated for an Emmy), a number of coauthored books and a Webby Award–winning website called Becoming Human.
What books are you currently reading (or have you just finished reading) for your work or for pleasure? Why did you choose them, and what do you think of them?
This year being the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth, I have been dabbling in a number of his books: The Origin of Species (1859), The Descent of Man (1871) and The Voyage of the Beagle (1839). It has been my own private celebration to peruse Darwin and to be reminded of how darn often he was right.
This is especially true of his prescient views expressed in The Descent of Man, where he logically outlined the reasons why Africa would prove to be the crucible for human evolution. This was particularly strong since prevailing views of his time suggested that Europe was the finishing school for humanity.
Darwin's feedback model of human evolution that favored bigger brains to make better tools, which required bigger brains, was many years ahead of his time. Although he did not have a chronology for the appearance of distinctive human characteristics such as reduction in size of canine teeth, acquisition of upright walking, stone-tool manufacture, brain enlargement and meat eating, he did strike on the essential features that distinguish us in the mammalian order Primates. His emphasis on the importance of climate change for driving human evolution has now become an idea of core importance for the emergence of hominids and the diversity we now see in a species-rich human family tree.
Having been born in Chicago and having gone to university there, I was recently enthralled with Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City (Crown, 2003), a book about the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago. Larson manages to weave two stories together—the Fair and the horror of a serial killer—in a narrative that flows with excitement and passion that reveals a reality that is stronger than fiction. Contrasting the macabre with the "Midwestern" ethic, as manifested in the competitive world of architects, Larson created a world that fascinated me and made it hard to put the book aside.
When and where do you usually read (specific location, time of day, etc.)?
I travel a great deal, so lots of reading is done on airplanes, but at home I read in bed at night before I doze off. I love to have a book in my hands, turning the pages and making comments in the margin, but not long ago I was offered an audiobook, The Odyssey, read by Ian McKellen (Penguin Audiobooks, 1996). This was a revelation! Listening to this in my car while driving to and from work, I was transformed by all the adventure and mystery Homer had intended. Phrases rang in my ears, and I felt as if I were on the voyage. This epic was intended to be narrated, not read, and it was brought to life with a performance by one of England's leading actors, who celebrated Robert Fagles's engaging and mesmerizing translation. Who are your favorite writers (fiction, nonfiction or poetry)? Why?
The intensely personal and often tragic poetry of Anna Akhmatova reflects the complicated life of a woman who experienced an era in Russia from the final days of the czar through Stalin's brutal rule and on into the Soviet Union. Personal passion comes through in her writing and offers glimpses into disappointment and sometimes even fantasy.
In college I took three years of German and was introduced to a wide variety of poets—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Heinrich Heine and many others—and still today when I read them in the original German I am transported back to happy student days.
The wit, romanticism, imagery and elegance of William Shakespeare's poetry continues to amaze and reward me.
For pure sumptuousness and titillation, it is hard to find better reading than Lawrence Durrell in his Alexandria Quartet (1957-1960), a true masterpiece that intertwines exotic people, places and cultures. Durrell's nonfiction writing is also brilliant. I especially recommend reading Caesar's Vast Ghost: Aspects of Provence (Faber and Faber, 1990) while vacationing in Provence; you can almost hear the Romans moving through the countryside that so captivated Vincent van Gogh.
One of the greatest gifts to English literature is Joseph Conrad's relatively short book Heart of Darkness (1902). Set in darkest Africa, it reminds us of the brutal character of those who colonized Africa and left a legacy that continues to haunt the continent. The opening passage in Heart of Darkness almost makes one perspire with the heat and humidity of the tropical rain forests of central Africa and unconsciously check oneself for leeches. As they say, "a must read."
What are the three best books you've ever read? Explain.
One of the best books I have ever read is Defying Hitler, by Sebastian Haffner (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2002). This is an eyewitness account by someone who grew up during the emergence of Nazi Germany and the rise of Adolf Hitler's perverted view of domination and extermination. Haffner, in incredible detail, reveals to us how a complacent society stood and watched as, step by step, a country was led down a path of unmatchable brutality. It should be read by all those who say, "Oh, that could never happen here."
What book has influenced you most? Explain how.
A first edition of Thomas Henry Huxley's 1863 book Evidence as to Man's Place in Nature occupies a revered place in my study. When I was roughly 13 I encountered this thin, nicely illustrated book on the bookshelves of my mentor. I had an emerging interest in natural history, and when I opened Huxley's book and began to read about how closely he believed we were related to the African apes, I was spellbound. The black-and-white illustrations of ape and human skulls and skeletons drew me into a world that launched my interest in human evolution.
I was intrigued by Huxley's profound suggestion that we were a part of the natural world, just like all other life, but the idea that we had shared a unique origin from a common ancestor with the African apes ignited in me a passion that continues today. Reflecting more and more on the fossil evidence for human evolution, I am constantly reminded that knowing our place in nature is vital for the future of humankind and indeed all life on the planet.
Name three books you want to read but haven't gotten to yet.
The Brothers Karamazov, by Fyodor Dosteovsky (1880); War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy (1869); Madame Bovary (1857), by Gustave Flaubert.
What science book recommendations do you have for nonscientists?
E. O. Wilson's Naturalist (Island Press, 1994), Steven Pinker's The Language Instinct (Morrow, 1994), Richard Dawkins's The Blind Watchmaker (Norton, 1986), Carl Sagan's The Demon-Haunted World (Random House, 1995), James Watson's The Double Helix (Norton, 1980), John McPhee's Annals of the Former World (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1998) and David Quammen's The Song of the Dodo (Scribner, 1996).
Name one book in your discipline that you would recommend for scientists outside your field. Explain your choice.
The Wisdom of the Bones: In Search of Human Origins, by Alan Walker and Pat Shipman (Knopf, 1996). The discovery of a very complete, 1.8-million-year-old skeleton of a young male assigned to Homo ergaster (for many, the African equivalent of Homo erectus) from the western shores of Lake Turkana offered an amazing opportunity for multidisciplinary research. Professor Alan Walker collaborated with his wife, Pat Shipman, to produce an engaging and remarkably accessible book on the importance of this specimen, from its discovery through its excavation, as well as the insights into this specimen that come from a broad-ranging and illuminating examination by a cadre of specialists.
The Wisdom of the Bones offers the nonspecialist the opportunity to share steps taken by Walker and his assembled team that reveal a mind-boggling breadth of insight into the life of the Turkana Boy. This book offers deep insight into the strategic and rewarding study of paleoanthropology that reflects the maturity of the science as a way of knowing our ancestors and how we have become human.

2009-2010 Inactivated Influenza Vaccine »
"It is caused by the influenza virus, which can be spread by coughing, sneezing, or nasal secretions.
Other illnesses can have the same symptoms and are often mistaken for influenza. But only an illness caused by the influenza virus is rea"...
(Influenza Vaccine) Intramuscular Injection
FLULAVAL, Influenza Vaccine, for intramuscular injection, is a trivalent, split-virion, inactivated influenza virus vaccine prepared from virus propagated in the allantoic cavity of embryonated hens' eggs. Each of the influenza viruses is produced and purified separately. The virus is inactivated with ultraviolet light treatment followed by formaldehyde treatment, purified by centrifugation, and disrupted with sodium deoxycholate.
FLULAVAL is a sterile, opalescent, translucent to off-white suspension in a phosphate-buffered saline solution that may sediment slightly. The sediment resuspends upon shaking to form a homogeneous suspension.
FLULAVAL has been standardized according to USPHS requirements for the 2015-2016 influenza season and is formulated to contain 45 micrograms (mcg) hemagglutinin (HA) per 0.5-mL dose in the recommended ratio of 15 mcg HA of each of the following 3 strains: A/California/7/2009 NYMC X-179A (H1N1), A/Switzerland/9715293/2013 NIB-88 (H3N2), and B/Phuket/3073/2013.
The prefilled syringe is formulated without preservatives and does not contain thimerosal. Each 0.5-mL dose from the multi-dose vial contains 50 mcg thimerosal ( < 25 mcg mercury); thimerosal, a mercury derivative, is added as a preservative.
Each 0.5-mL dose of either presentation may also contain residual amounts of ovalbumin ( ≤ 0.3 mcg), formaldehyde ( ≤ 25 mcg), sodium deoxycholate ( ≤ 50 mcg), α-tocopheryl hydrogen succinate ( ≤ 240 mcg), and polysorbate 80 ( ≤ 665 mcg) from the manufacturing process. Antibiotics are not used in the manufacture of this vaccine.
The tip caps and plungers of the prefilled syringes are not made with natural rubber latex. The vial stoppers are not made with natural rubber latex.
What are the possible side effects of influenza virus injectable vaccine?
Influenza virus injectable (killed virus) vaccine will not cause you to become ill with the flu virus that it contains. However, you may have flu-like symptoms at any time during flu season that may be caused by other strains of influenza virus.
You should not receive a booster vaccine if you had a life-threatening allergic reaction after the first shot.
Keep track of any and all side effects you have after receiving this vaccine. If you ever need to receive influenza virus vaccine in the future, you will need to tell your doctor if the previous shot caused any side...

Baidu Inc. (BIDU) gained 1% earlier today, after losing 2% yesterday. And, as is often the case with the stock, there is no news–just the usual volatility.
This being a slow day, I decided to eyeball Baidu's chart. After a quick look, it's obvious the stock is having some trouble breaking the $102/$103 level. On Dec. 26, for instance, it traded as high as $102.50, but closed at $101.45. Yesterday, it touched $102.15, but closed at $99.43. So what's so important about $102?
Take a look at this chart, which shows Baidu's price action for the past 12 months, as well as so-called Fibonacci levels.

Byrd signs two-year, $16 million deal with PhilliesNovember 12, 2013 10:38 PM
Marlon Byrd capitalized on a comeback season with the Pirates and New York Mets when he signed a two-year, $16 million contract Tuesday with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Byrd hit .291 with 24 home runs for the Pirates and Mets, but is 36 years old. The length and dollar amount of the deal emphasizes the difficulty teams have in acquiring power hitters in today's game.
"If you don't want to give up your first-round pick, Marlon Byrd is arguably the best available outfield bat," Pirates general manager Neal Huntington told The Associated Press at the general managers meetings in Orlando, Fla. "We feared he was out of our price range immediately. We stayed engaged in the process, and Marlon and his agents talked about wanting to come back to Pittsburgh. He loved his time there. The environment and playing for a winner and playing in front of that fan base was something that really intrigued him."
Byrd hit .210 with one home run in 153 plate appearances in 2012 before he tested positive for a banned substance and served a 50-game suspension. He played in the Mexican League last year before signing with the Mets on a minor league contract that paid him $700,000.
Byrd's deal, which includes a vesting option for 2016, was consistent with the contract of Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera, who served a 50-game suspension in 2012 after testing positive for testosterone. Cabrera signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Blue Jays in November 2012. The two share the same agency, ACES.
The Pirates traded minor leaguers Vic Black and Dilson Herrera to the Mets for Byrd and catcher John Buck in a waiver trade in late August. Byrd hit .318 in 30 games with the Pirates and .364 with a home run in six postseason games.
"We'll miss Marlon," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "I want nothing but for players to be happy. This was an opportunity, I think, very good for him. Great park to hit in. Guy can hit a fly ball, can drive a ball."
The departure of Byrd leaves the Pirates with Travis Snider, Jose Tabata and Garrett Jones as their current internal options in right field. Snider, who is out of minor league options, had a .281 on-base percentage and hit only five home runs during a season when he missed a month because of a toe injury.
Tabata hit .282 with a .342 on-base percentage but played in only 106 games and had 341 plate appearances. He missed more than a month because of an oblique injury.
The Pirates prefer not to play Jones in right field and might non-tender him anyway at the Dec. 2 deadline. Jones is eligible for arbitration for the third time out of four and will earn a raise from his $4.5 million salary in 2013.
Replacing Bell
Hurdle said the Pirates plan to hire a hitting coach from within the organization to replace Jay Bell, who accepted a job as the Cincinnati Reds bench coach. Assistant hitting coach Jeff Branson is the current favorite.
"I would like to think that he's got sweat equity in our organization and in the position," Hurdle said. "I'm not a big fan of turnover. If we go outside, that'd be the third guy in three years, which I'm not a big fan of."
Reaching out
Huntington tried to reach out to free agent starter A.J. Burnett Tuesday afternoon, Hurdle said, as Burnett continues to decide whether to keep playing or retire.
"I want A.J. to be happy," Hurdle said. "I want A.J. to do what's going to make A.J. happy. We did let him know, Neal has let him know, I have let him know that we would be happy with him returning and pitching for us."

Our Organic Raw Heirloom English Light Walnuts (halves and pieces) are pure, all natural and bursting with crunchy, mouthwatering flavor. They are a mainstay of a healthy regimen. Walnuts make for great snacking, baking, or addition to blended recipes.
Our Raw Organic English Light Heirloom Walnut halves and pieces are the perfect healthy snack and add big flavor to any recipe. Walnuts are indigenous to Asia, stretching from the Balkans to China. They grow on medium to large trees; and even grow as high as 2000 meters in the Jalal-Abad province of Kyrgyzstan. Walnuts have been historically documented back to ancient Babylon around 2000 BC. The scientific community believes walnuts may have been consumed as much as 8000 years ago, after an archaeological excavation uncovered roasted walnut shells on Neolithic sites in the southwest of France.
More than ever before, researchers are convinced about the nourishing qualities of raw walnuts when consumed in their whole form, including the skin. Modern research indicates that approximately 90% of phenols in walnuts are found in the skin, including key phenolic acids, tannins, and flavonoids. They also contain an unusual form of Vitamin E, the alpha-tocopherol form. Phytonutrient research on the antioxidant and possible inflammation response benefits of walnuts has proven that its comparable to other foods that may support metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular issues. Some phytonutrients found in walnuts, like quinone juglone, are found in virtually no other common foods. Other phytonutrients like the tannin tellimagrandin or the flavonol morin are also rare and may be valuable as antioxidants and that might support a healthy inflammation response.
Some possible traditional uses of Organic Raw Heirloom English Light Walnut halves and pieces may include:
● Source of Omega-3 & Omega-6 essential fatty acids
● May support cardiovascular health
● May support healthy cognitive function
● May support a healthy inflammation response
● Possibly supports the body's natural ability to halt ADHD
● May support healthy weight gain
● May support a healthy female cycle
● May support a healthy allergen response
● Possibly supports the body's natural protection towards cellular mutations
● May support healthy cholesterol levels
● Source of polyphenols that may possess antioxidant properties
● May support healthy levels of C-reactive protein
● Source of manganese & copper

This battle for all the Oracle Partners in Belgium and the Netherlands is organized by Oracle (Yves Van Looy(BE) and Charles Billar(NL)). All employees of these Oracle Partner companies can compete to be the Oracle smartest of their company for that year. Just like last year, the contest was also aiming to provide an in-depth architectural knowledge about seven different technology tracks.
Like previous editions of AYTS, iAdvise joined this year's AYTS contest.
This year, 17 people represented iAdvise, and tried to win the prestigious price: a business travel to the Oracle HQ in San Francisco and Las Vegas.
Six out of seven tracks were covered by the iAdvise team: Security, Data Integration, BI & Applications, HW & Software combination, Service Integration and Database & options.
This year, iAdvise also improved the oraevents site which is used for this contest. Many new features and functionalities were added to improve the user experience of this tool. The usability and new functionalities were clearly appreciated by all the contenders, all credits goes to the iAdvise apex team who really made this a very nice tool to work with!
Of course we also had a top 3 for iAdvise: Tuur made it as 'nummero uno' for the security track, second place went to David for the BI track and on the third place Kristof who also followed the security tracks. Congratulations to all three!
So we had some high scores on different tracks, which ones again proves that iAdvise is very proficient in several technologies.
But even more important was that Tuur got a gigantic high score of 39/40, something that nobody ever achieved before in the AYTS history and it will likely take some time before someone will achieve an equal or higher score.
He is without question the very convincing winner of this edition, and will enjoy his trip to the States! Congratulations Tuur!
Next year will be without question very exciting, since there are a whole lot of new technologies coming up our way and of course iAdvise will be one of the participating companies!

The architect of a proposed two-building, 10-storey apartment project on Logy Bay Road rejected by St. John's city council says he and his client will likely consider other options.
"Obviously, I'm not pleased with it, but we'll certainly follow up with it," Philip Pratt said Wednesday.
Pratt submitted the application to the city on behalf of a numbered Newfoundland and Labrador company. Pratt said he couldn't comment very much, as he was still getting information from the city. "It's the public process, right?"
The application, which came before council Monday night, was for a rezoning that would allow the development to build higher than the six storeys currently allowed in the area's current apartment medium-density zone.
The proposed project would sit on 8,550 square metres of currently undeveloped land on the northeast corner of Logy Bay Road and Selfridge Road, and consist of two buildings with 141 units altogether.
City staff recommended sending the project for a land-use assessment report, but several councillors said the city shouldn't even consider a project of that height.
The vote split council, with councillors Dave Lane, Tom Hann, Jonathan Galgay, Sandy Hickman and Bruce Tilley voting in favour of the assessment.
Councillors Art Puddister, Bernard Davis and Wally Collins, Deputy Mayor Ron Ellsworth and Mayor Dennis O'Keefe voted against letting the project go that far, and the tie vote meant the application was rejected.
Too high
"This piece of property is already zoned to accommodate six-storey buildings," said Puddister. "That is a very mature neighbourhood, going back to 1962, 1963 when all the homes were built. It's because of its proximity to the park, the residential component, that I'm essentially against us considering 10 storeys."
Lane — who voted for the project to go through the normal assessment — noted he grew up in the area, which he said is prone to flooding, and was concerned development would exacerbate the problem.
"The land that we're talking about looks like a wetland of some sort," he said. "This will come out in the land-assessment report, but we need to make sure we're not making a bad situation worse by removing a natural service provider."
Davis said the project even at the currently allowed six storeys would be a "monstrosity."
"I would have great issue with trying to approve two 10-storey buildings in that area, and I think it would take away from the golf course there and the residents there," he said. "I think we've really got to take leadership on trying to protect our residents in that area."
Pratt said he was disappointed there was so much opposition based on the height of the building.
"One of the main problems that St. John's has got at the moment is urban sprawl from here to Holyrood," he said. "This is a little bit of higher density near the downtown."

(Redirected from Gilgamesh Epic)
The Epic of Gilgamesh is a Sumerian tale that was preserved on stone and clay tablets for thousands of years. The text of Gilgamesh's epic is on 12 incomplete Akkadian-language tablets, found at a destroyed library of the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal in Nineveh. (Reigned 668-627 BC)
The tablets are dated from 2500 to 2000 B.C.
The poem tells the story of Gilgamesh, the great sixth king of Uruk, a city in Mesopotamia, and his (perhaps fictional) quest for glory and immortal life. One of the more notable stories describes a world wide flood with great similarities to the Genesis account with Noah. The chronicles are from the ancient lands of Sumeria, and, according to Sumerian records, would have taken place about 2650 B.C.

I am looking for a wireless solution that comes with a limited range (for pairing) of 10 inchesFrom what I understand:NFC: 4 inchesBluetooth: 30 feetCan I lower the BT's power consumption to meet my exact needs of 10 inches? Does another solution exist?Sovrac
BT has low power modes, even for active paired connections. I suppose it depends on the hardware you intend to use and whether it supports those modes?
The BT protocol negotiates based on signal level what the power is, you don't have to do anything.
how will I know who, or what I am pairing to until it's already been paired?
Quotehow will I know who, or what I am pairing to until it's already been paired?Normally the device asks the user for permission.

Had a great weekend in the Hammock… watch this little review.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Welcome to the hammock brotherhood! I got one about three years ago and have used it on summer trips. You really do sleep well, much better than on the ground. Mine doesn't have the zipper though, so I am jealous. I'll have to look at the new models.
Jerry, Welcome to the club. I have not slept on the ground in a long time.
You should consider the Hennessy snake skins to carry the hammock in. You can then use the bag for something else. I wrap my snakeskinned hammock around my pack so I can set it up as a seat at breaks in the hiking.
I tried the rings without the carabiner and had some trouble getting it unloosed the next morning. The carabiner must be there to get the rings off the suspension so they can be removed.
You may find that when you camp in this thing, you will get a lot of people come over to see what this "crazy" thing you are doing is. I don't mind that. My 54 year old back thanks me.


text: Was having loose stool issues a few months back and switched my 2yo YLM to it and within a week or 2 his stools have been normal. Everything was going fine until about the last week and a half and he has stopped eating it. When I switched him to the PP he would eat it up without leaving the bowl in the morning and evening. But as of last week or 2 he will eat a little bit then wander around the house like he doesnt like the food anymore. Has anyone had any problems with their dog not eating the food or changing to not like the taste? Any help would be great. He seems to love the Loyall active adult he was on but didnt set well with him stomach. Anyone tried the loyall lamb and rice?

With the fall television season beginning, it is worth remembering the best TV show of the last decade: NBC's Las Vegas. Man, that show was good. The formula that made Las Vegas so satisfying can be applied to the running of a restaurant. District — a hard-to-characterize spot that opened last year, in that hard-to-define neighborhood between the Old Port and the West End — demonstrates some of the ways this might be done. What District has in common with Las Vegas is in fact not a formula so much as a lack of a formula.
Las Vegas was so good in large part because it did not care to be great. It used a loose setup — sort of The Love Boat set in a casino, adding a darker edge of greed and addiction — to mix genres freely and exploit a weird variety of stars (from the model Molly Sims to the legendary James Caan — both delightful) and guest stars. In a similar vein, District's defining quality is that it is hard to define. It is part cocktail bar, part American grill, and part nouveau-American. The service is formal in its particulars, but pleasantly casual in its vibe. For the most part District manages to hit all those notes and still pleasantly, quirkily cohere.
District has a slightly scrappy exterior of gray siding, but a dark and polished appearance within. Diners are led through the bar, and upstairs to a handsome enough dining room. An open kitchen adds a little noise, and not much ambience. The big front windows look out over some industrial buildings onto the Fore River meeting Casco Bay. It gives you the sense of being in a larger city, where restaurateurs seek cheaper rents in outer districts.
The menu is the sort of plastic-covered one-pager you see in a pub, but lists entrées of grilled meats that are a good step above pub fare, and several pastas. The leather-bound wine list is heavy on Italian stuff, and we found a nice affordable blend of merlot and sangiovese. The appetizers are an odd mix, ranging from chicken wings to foie gras. A tuna tartare served with toasted slices of baguette had enough shallot to push aside the fish's sweetness. Pine nuts added some nice texture. It came with a funny little sour apple salad spotted with lots of diced parsley. The better app was a big bowl of littleneck clams in a broth of white ale and plenty of butter. What made the dish were the many big salty chunks of pancetta. There was nearly as much pancetta as clam, and their different balance of tender and chewy gave the dish an appealing textural complexity. All the salt animated the broth, and made it great to soak up with big pieces of grilled bread.
A great-looking entrée of skirt steak with chimichurri sauce was perfectly prepared. The tender meat had a good char, and a rich flavor that mixed nicely with the dark bitter garlicky sauce. You can choose your side, and we tried the creamed spinach. It was pleasant in its classic simplicity. An entrée of roast pork tenderloin was equally good. The sweet meat had been cooked just enough inside, beneath a smoky, peppery exterior. The pork came with a spicy broccoli rabe, and a squash risotto that had plenty of cheese and was resonant with the flavor of sage.

PCE ® Tablets
(erythromycin particles) in Tablets
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of PCE tablets and other antibacterial drugs, PCE tablets should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.
PCE tablets (erythromycin particles in tablets) are an antibacterial product containing specially coated erythromycin base particles for oral administration. The coating protects the antibiotic from the inactivating effects of gastric acidity and permits efficient absorption of the antibiotic in the small intestine. PCE tablets are available in two strengths containing either 333 mg or 500 mg of erythromycin base. PCE tablets 500 mg tablets contain no synthetic dyes or artificial colors.
Erythromycin is produced by a strain of Saccharopolyspora erythraea (formerly Streptomyces erythraeus) and belongs to the macrolide group of antibiotics. It is basic and readily forms salts with acids. Erythromycin is a white to off-white powder, slightly soluble in water, and soluble in alcohol, chloroform, and ether. Erythromycin is known chemically as (3R*, 4S*, 5S*, 6R*, 7R*, 9R*, 11R*, 12R*, 13S*, 14R*)-4-[(2,6-dideoxy-3-C-methyl-3-O-methyl-αL-ribo-hexopyranosyl)oxy]-14-ethyl-7,12,13-trihydroxy-3,5,7,9,11,13-hexamethyl-6-[[3,4,6trideoxy-3-(dimethylamino)-β-D-xylo-hexopyranosyl]oxy]oxacyclotetradecane-2,10-dione. The molecular formula is C37H67NO13, and the molecular weight is 733.94. The structural formula is:
Inactive Ingredients
PCE 333 mg Tablets
Cellulosic polymers, citrate ester, colloidal silicon dioxide, D&C Red No. 30, hydrogenated vegetable oil wax, lactose, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, propylene glycol, sodium starch glycolate, stearic acid and vanillin.
PCE 500 mg Tablets
Cellulosic polymers, citrate ester, colloidal silicon dioxide, crospovidone, hydrogenated vegetable oil wax, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, povidone, propylene glycol, stearic acid, talc, titanium dioxide and vanillin. PCE 500 mg tablets contain no synthetic dyes or artificial colors.
What are the possible side effects of erythromycin?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- severe dizziness, fainting, fast or pounding heartbeats;
- diarrhea that is watery or bloody;
- hearing problems;
- vomiting or fussiness after eating (in a child taking erythromycin);
- nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);...

What are the precautions when taking erythromycin pce (PCE)?
Before taking erythromycin, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to other macrolide antibiotics (such as azithromycin, clarithromycin); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: liver disease, kidney disease, a certain type of muscle disease (myasthenia gravis).
Erythromycin may cause a condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation). QT prolongation can infrequently result in serious (rarely fatal) fast/irregular heartbeat and other symptoms (such as severe dizziness, fainting) that need medical attention...

With the Rise of DeAndre Jordan, Should the Clippers Trade Chris Kaman?

First of all, you can never understate the importance of size in the NBA. While there are obviously instances of perimeter players being able to carry teams to championships without offensively reliable big men (see: Jordan, Michael), teams devoid of size rarely enjoy much prolonged success.

Yields about 3/4 cup
Garam masala, which means hot spice, is the Indian equivalent of the French herbes de Provence or the Chinese five spice powder. The recipe changes from region to region in northern India, with each household adding its own touch. As a rule, garam masala is added at the last step of cooking, almost like a fresh herb. If cooked too long, it tends to become bitter. Garam masala is available on some grocery store spice racks as well as in Indian markets, but for the best flavor, toast and grind your own.
Heat the cinnamon, bay leaves, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, cardamom pods, peppercorns, cloves, and chile in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, until the cumin seeds darken to a deep, toasty brown color, 2 to 3 minutes—the spices may crackle and smoke a bit. Immediately transfer to a plate or bowl to cool. Add the nutmeg and mace, and grind the spices in a spice grinder to a fine powder, working in batches if necessary.
Garam masala can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 months.

One meal and she was hooked.
Taking a friend's advice, Chris Dadtka tried out First Watch a few weeks ago. Since then she's been back several times for the atmosphere, experience and of course, the food.
"This is my new favorite restaurant," said Dadtka, of Greenfield. "The food is fresh tasting, healthy and not oily at all. It's a little difficult to find, but it's worth looking for."
You'll find First Watch if you're looking for it near Calhoun and Bluemound roads. Located at 17550-A W. Bluemound Road, First Watch serves breakfast and lunch from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily.
The restaurant, which just celebrated its first year of operation in Brookfield on April 25, features a menu of traditional fresh choices such as eggs, pancakes, soups, salads and sandwiches, as well as its signature specialties including Chickichanga and Crepeggs.
First Watch also features menu items from the healthier side, such as egg white omelets, fresh fruit crepes and its signature Power Wraps.
Vinnie Busalacchi opened the restaurant last year with his father, Mike, after dining at a First Watch in Florida. They liked the food and the inviting atmosphere, and wanted to replicate that here in Brookfield.
First Watch operates about 80 restaurants throughout the country; the Brookfield location is the first in Wisconsin.
"I think that people who dine with us will notice the bright, sunny, fresh feel we offer here at First Watch," Busalacchi said. "Since we've opened, the reception from Brookfield has been terrific. We do a lot of the little things that make your experience here more memorable. I hope people seek us out and give us a shot."
The Busalacchis also are opening a second restaurant early this summer in Mequon at 11032 N. Port Washington Road.

Ratings & Reviews90% of customers recommend this product
- Loved this paint -- it is pricey but it did a GREAT job!
September 02, 2013
- Recommended Product
When we moved in our walls were covered in FLAT blue painted walls,,,blue was not a color that looked right - and flat paint showed each and EVERY mark - we purchased this paint on the reviews from Consumer Reports - It costs a lot more than other paints, but if you don't want to go back and paint again in a few years, we really liked this option. Despite what they tell you at the paint counter, you will PROBABLY need two coats, especially if covering a darker wall color. This paint stacks right up with other independent paint store paints - I just wish that the price was a bit more along the lines of the average Home Depot Shopper,,,,we go to HD to NOT have to pay the prices of those 'independent paint stores'! That being said, we are very happy with the coverage and the richness and depth of the colors - they look like they were professionally painted!Pros Very Adhesive, Even Application, High Quality of Material, Easy to Apply, Good Coverage, Easy to Clean, Easy to Use, Good Protection, Looks Great, Looks High End, Modern, Dries Quickly, looks professional! Cons more than one coat probably needed

Collaborations Put California on the Path to Combat Ocean Acidification
Posted On November 27, 2013 by Julia Roberson
Hog Island Oyster Company has been in business for more than 30 years. Run by John Finger and Terry Sawyer, it is a family-owned business in Tomales Bay, Calif., that produces more than 3 million oysters annually, along with manila clams and mussels. John and Terry have the standard stresses and worries that come with operating a business, but when they talk about ocean acidification, you can tell their concern goes beyond the usual. Ocean acidification happens when carbon pollution from the atmosphere is absorbed by the ocean, turning the water more acidic. Animals like oysters, clams and mussels have trouble building their shells in increasingly acidic water, and this spells trouble for California oyster growers like John and Terry. Luckily, just down the road from Hog Island is Bodega Bay Marine Lab. John and Terry have partnered with ocean acidification scientists like Dr. Tessa Hill to help them monitor the coastal water where they grow their oysters. This allows Hog Island to respond to changing ocean chemistry in a way that doesn't hurt their business.
