Nice satire on modern business. That was satire, right? That's why you're modded at +5?
Or.... don't let the signal from the towers penetrate to the prison? Surely the guards can do without when they're on duty?
Verizon has a net income of upwards of $10 billion per year. Upgrade the damn lines already and stop trying to squeeze usage.
Or we didn't have to start trading with China, or could have imposed tariffs tied in directly to indices of abuse and waste as an incentive for them to improve. Or a thousand other ways we could have gone about the issue without giving the base of our economy away wholesale.
Fundamental atheists are a strawman.
In that situation, you probably would be paying 100 times more for your car, food and house. Because they're nicer. You see, if you have more money, you're going to get more benefit from it.
The guy who is earning 10000 a year might get a welfare check and foodstamps for his taxes, as well as some environmental and health protection. At 1000000 a year you'd be getting police protection of your stuff, military protection of your assets and investments, political power (that comes nearly free by virtue of just having the money), subsidies for your investments or business, the kind of stability that allows your business to even function, etc.
The other guy is likely to be hassled by the cops as much as protected by them. He has no foreign investments that require a powerful military and diplomatic structure for protection. A much smaller military would be sufficient to prevent invasion. Most of all any benefits that keep him alive and not starving are keeping your workers alive and well and not rioting outside your door. Like someone else around here said, taxes buy civilisation.
Correction: Bankers tell politicians how to tell bankers how to bank, and bankers tell politicians how to tell car makers how to run car companies.
And we're not the ones they're saying should tone down the rhetoric - they're saying the politicians should tone down the rhetoric.
It does if you like Jack Lemmon http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053291/
If an uninvolved 3rd party bringing information to people isn't a messenger to you, then I'd like to hear what is.
They had legal drugs in Brave New World. We don't have eugenics and hate is a primary political tool. Also, we've got boots stomping on heads and all that (Tim Profitt at the Rand Paul rally). Sounds much more like 1984 to me!
I did - I picked up a 5770 this time around. It's my first ATI (AMD) card ever. The other ones have been Nvidia and I think there was a 3dfx in there somewhere. I suppose I should send them a letter letting them know why I switched as well.
How does the existence of the Tea Party illustrate that people are missing basic logic tools?....The basic point is that the government cannot continue to spend more than it takes in indefinitely without a collapse at some point. Raising taxes does not solve the problem.
The fact that you take this idiotic statement as a gospel truth -as indicated by the certainty with which you write it- illustrates the problem. If the rest of them think like that (and it seems they do) then you have proved GP's point. The first part is correct, sure, but the second statement wouldn't be worth responding to if it weren't such a depressingly common "fact".
The point GP is making is that many of those diseases cause people or animals to act/move/look slightly "off", and noticing that was key to avoiding them and avoiding infection. The rabid person doesn't look normal. It's not so much a physical thing, it's a behavior thing which still plays into "appearance". It's perfectly natural that a revulsion reaction would be an evolutionary defense for this.
Likewise computer animations are often slightly "off" in the same way - the muscle groups may not work together like they should, or reactions may not be what we expect, or slower than usual.

Not Lords, Stewards
from Burk Parsons Mar 02, 2011 Category: ArticlesThe apostle Paul was neither afflicted with false modesty nor with any sort of apostolic pomposity. He understood his role and his office in the household of God. At times we find him needing to assert his apostolic office to the end that his readers would heed him as they would the Lord. On other occasions we find him passionately putting himself in place. He strove valiantly with the Corinthians to maintain their firm grasp of his apostolicity that they might obey his charge to regard him rightly as a man, a servant, and a steward, and most certainly not a king, a deity, or a little messiah.

In September 2010, the California AFLP received a grant award of $2 million per year for three years through the Affordable Care Act Pregnancy Assistance Fund (PAF) administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Adolescent Health. This grant is being used to develop and implement evidence-informed program strategies, and conduct subsequent evaluation to strengthen AFLP. This initiative, known as AFLP Positive Youth Development (AFLP PYD), is being piloted in 11 AFLP sites. AFLP PYD links a PYD case management intervention with integrated life planning in order to meet the AFLP goals. A formative evaluation of AFLP PYD will inform the development of a standardized, evidence-based, intervention for AFLP case management throughout California.
The following agencies were selected to participate in the AFLP PYD pilot: Tehama County, Imperial County, Merced County, Madera County, Brighter Beginnings (Alameda County), San Joaquin County, Ventura County, Tulare County, Clinica Sierra Vista (Kern County), Fresno County, and Foothill Family Services (Los Angeles County). These agencies were selected by their identification of local gaps in services available for expectant and parenting teens and by their ranking on five key health status indicators, as well as the quality of their application.

My dog and I have been through the Hillman puppy program. We are now on Lardy's DVDs and just started force fetch with ear pinch. She has hold down pretty well and will heel, come, and sit while holding. I like to mix in some breaking retrieves while working on ear pinch to keep her spirits up. However, she has a bad habit of cigaring the bumper or carrying it by the rope on the retrieve. I can't work on hold with her as she is coming back to me because she is holding it wrong to begin with. I tried tieng the rope in knots to shorten it but it didn't help much. Has anyone just made their own wooden dummies using a dowel and squares from a 2x4? Something like this but square ends instead of diamond:
This is my first time to force fetch a dog. Just wasn't sure if it was OK to make something like this to work on force fetch and use it on breaking retrieves until she is through force fetch and stops cigaring so much.

Gestational Surrogacy
We will help you evaluate the benefits of gestational surrogacy and provide you with information about cost, legal issues, and treatment protocols.
In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate is pregnant with her own biological child, but this child will be raised by others. In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate becomes pregnant via embryo transfer with a child that is not biologically her own. The surrogate mother may be called the gestational carrier.
Once a suitable surrogate has been identified, and the screening process is complete, the cycle can begin. Timing depends on the surrogate's and intended parents/donors menstrual cycle .
Surrogacy Cycle Overview
Evaluation Cycle
The surrogate needs to prepare her uterus for implantation with natural estrogen and progesterone. Because each woman is a little different, the dose, duration, and method of administering these hormones may need to be individualized. This can be determined ahead of time by conducting an evaluation cycle. This is a "dry run†in which we duplicate each part of the cycle except the actual transfer of embryos in order to determine how to maximize the chances of success. The evaluation cycle can be completed anytime before the actual procedure. In some circumstances, the evaluation cycle can be waived when the response of the uterus to hormonal stimulation is well known. This is fairly common for women who have undergone many treatment cycles in the past.
Cycle Synchronization
It is necessary to synchronize the menstrual cycles of the surrogate and the intended parent in order to obtain mature eggs and embryos and transfer these back into a perfectly prepared endometrium (uterine lining) to maximize the chances of pregnancy success. This is done using a variety of hormonal manipulations .We will determine which technique will work best for each circumstance. Once both women's (surrogate and intended parent) ovarian function is suppressed and their cycles synchronized, they can begin the process of preparing for pregnancy.
Hormonal Therapy
On about the same day, the surrogate and intended parent will begin hormonal therapies to prepare the appropriate target for pregnancy success. The surrogate will begin taking estrogen to stimulate endometrial (uterine lining) growth and the intended parent will begin taking FSH to stimulate egg production. These treatments are monitored with ultrasound and blood estrogen levels until the eggs are ready to be retrieved and the uterus is ready to accept an embryo. Usually these treatments will take approximately two to three weeks and require five office visits for ultrasounds and blood tests.
Subsequently IVF and embryo transfer is done.
Pregnancy Success!
In successful cycles, the hormonal supplements are continued through the first trimester (12 weeks) of the pregnancy. Once the first trimester is completed and the placenta has matured to the point where it can provide for all the hormonal needs of the pregnancy, no further supplements are required. We will monitor blood levels of estrogen and progesterone at the end of the first trimester and taper off the hormone supplements gradually. Once the hormone supplements are stopped, the rest of the pregnancy is indistinguishable from any other pregnancy!

Do you know one night's bad sleep is enough to make adults age faster as they lack sleep which directly impacts the biological aging of the body? According to scientific findings, sleep deprivation boosts the molecular processes involved in growing older -- may be connected to a greater risk of diseases.
So if you're following a bad sleep routine or finding difficulty in sleeping adequately and efficiently every night:
Develop your biological clock for sleeping: The first step to beat bad sleeping habit and even insomnia is to develop your biological clock. Initially, if you cannot sleep on time, then at least set your wake up time same each day. Develop this routine every day and avoid temptations like sleeping late on weekends even if you have had poor sleep during the week. Such temptations further disrupt the sleeping clock of the body and put a person on vicious circle of bad sleep routine.
Do not eat or drink right before going to bed. Eating a late dinner or snacking before going to bed can activate the digestive system and keep you up. If you suffer from gastroesophageal reflux or heartburn, it is even more important to avoid eating and drinking right before bed since this can make your symptoms worse. In addition, drinking a lot of fluids prior to bed can overwhelm the bladder, requiring frequent visits to the washroom that can eventually disturb your sleep.
Allot a specific time to plan your next day: Generally, people have the tendency to think about the incidences that have happened today and keep worrying about tomorrow when they put their head on a pillow. Avoid doing it by allocating a dedicated time, perhaps next day morning to review yesterday and to plan for today. Remember at end of the day, human brain reaches it maximum exhaustion level and the brain's possibility to find the solution is weakest whereas converting worries is at its peak.
Reduce stress If you find yourself too stressed when you put your head on the pillow then it's a good practice breathing exercises and meditation before going to bed. Even playing melodious music is good that can reduce your stress levels too and help you to get a sound sleep.
Put your mobile phone in an airplane mode before you go to sleep: A major reason for a lot of people to suffer sleep deprivation and insomnia in today's time is their habit to play with their smartphones, texting, chatting or checking Facebook updates in bed.
I have d vitamin deficiency. Frequently I feel leg shivering weakness /cramps in lower leg. Pin pricking in toe. I had HB of 10.6 but now improved 13.6.pl tell me the remedy.
Influenza is characterized by fever (temperature of 100°F [37.8°C] or greater) with cough and/or sore throat.
Influenza viruses spread from human to human via aerosols created by coughs or sneezes of infected individuals .The incubation period of influenza ranges from 18-72 hours. Viral shedding occurs at the onset of symptoms or just before the onset of illness (0-24 h). Shedding continues for 5-10 days. Young children may shed virus longer, placing others at risk for contracting infection with the virus. Shedding may persist for weeks to months in highly immunocompromised persons.
The presentation of influenza virus infection varies; however, it usually includes many of the symptoms shown here. Patients with influenza who have preexisting immunity or who have received vaccine may have milder symptoms. Abrupt onset of illness is common. Fever may vary widely among patients, with some having low fevers (in the 100°F range) and others developing fevers as high as 104°F (40°C). Sore throat can be severe and may last 3-5 days. In children diarrhea may be a feature.
Findings of standard laboratory studies, such as a complete blood cell count and electrolyte levels, are nonspecific but helpful in the workup of influenza. Leukopenia and relative lymphopenia are typical findings in influenza. Thrombocytopenia may be present.
Most frequently, hospitalization is necessary when influenza exacerbates underlying chronic diseases. Some patients, especially elderly individuals, may be too weak to care for themselves alone at home. On occasion, the direct pathologic effects of influenza may require hospitalization; most commonly, this is influenza pneumonia.
Patients with influenza generally benefit from bed rest, and most patients recover in 3 days; however, malaise may persist for weeks.[1] After the development of influenza, antiviral agents can reduce the duration and severity of illness. To be effective, the medications must be administered within 40 hours of symptom onset. Oseltamivir is taken orally (75 mg bid for 5 d).
The influenza vaccine is recommended by the World Health Organization and United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for high-risk groups, such as children, the elderly, health care workers, and people who have chronic illnesses such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease, or are immuno-compromised among others.

Do you like to eat processed foods, and gorge on them a lot to stay away from cooking? It is important for you to know that processed foods are bad for your health and it is best that you avoid consuming them. Although all food items we eat are mechanically processed in certain ways, chemical processing, which is the primary feature of processed food items, is hazardous for your health.
Here are the major reasons why you should not eat processed food items.
- Processed food contains high amounts of sugar and fructose corn syrup: It is a known fact that excessive consumption of sugar in any form is not good for your health. Processed food products are loaded with sugar in huge amounts and also contain high fructose corn syrup, which is equally harmful in excess. Sugar basically has empty calories, which contain no important nutrients. Sugar also has dreadful effects on your body metabolism and may lead to high triglycerides, increased cholesterol levels, insulin resistance, and excess accumulation of fat in your abdominal cavity and liver.
- Processed food is hyper rewarding in nature and over consumption gets likely: Processed food items, because of their high content of sweet and fat, become a sort of addiction for many people. The reward centers of your brain acknowledge them, and as a result, you develop a constant craving for such food stuff.
- Processed food contains harmful artificial ingredients: It is likely for you to not understand the names of ingredients, which processed foods are made of. This is because of the reason that maximum of these ingredients are not actually natural, but are artificial chemicals which get added for several purposes such as preservation, maintaining aroma and much more. These chemicals are associated with several harmful effects on your health. The common ingredients of highly processed foods include the following:
- Chemical preservatives for preventing processed food from rotting
- Chemical colourants, which induce attractive and unique colours to processed foods
- Chemical flavors for giving specific flavours
- Texturants for proving a particular, specific texture to processed foods
The hyper rewarding nature of processed food can lead to severe consequences in many people. It is possible for you to become addicted to processed foods, and lose total control over your consumption rate. This problem of addiction to processed fast foods is a major problem in today's world. It is an important reason for obesity, which is a prominent health concern today all over the world.

Will cherry shrimp eat cory eggs?
I caught my cory cats spawning tonight. About 20 eggs had already been eaten by the barbs (you could see the rings on the glass) but I managed to salvage about 8 eggs this time.
I threw them in the nano shrimp tank because there is currently one or two cory catfish fry in that tank already from some hitch-hiking eggs on plant cuttings. I figured that's the best chance of survival given that the only other options are to (a) leave them to be eaten as an absolute certainty, or (b) put them in my moss tank which has a overly powerful filter (the last hatchlings got sucked up). I'm too lazy to change the filter speed.
Anyway, to stop this turning into a rambling post that no one wants to read: I threw the eggs in with the shrimp and have noticed a few shrimp investigating them and picking at them. Are they cleaning them and tasting them or will they actually do damage and eat them? They obviously didn't eat the two that came in before so am curious."Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known." Carl Sagan
~ 350 Litre Tank Journal ~ ~ 30 Litre Tank Journal ~
I looked into that a while ago. They don't eat healthy eggs. According to some breeders they keep the eggs clean reducing the number they lose to fungus.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

Tax Time Scavenger Hunt
A recent report states that Americans spend more on taxes annually than they spend on both food and clothing. But how much do we know about taxes? Just mention the April 15th due date for IRS filings, and most adults get that deer-in-the-headlights look. It can be confusing and overwhelming to try to figure out what you should be doing as a tax-paying citizen, especially when you consider that U.S. tax code is now over 7 million words long (compared to a measly 1,300 words in the Declaration of Independence). What's an honest American to do? Fortunately, there are some really helpful resources available to us to help make sense out of all this. Today you will look at four helpful websites and go on a scavenger hunt, looking for information about income taxes. If you get stuck, just press the 'help' button near most questions; it will tell you specifically where to look to find the answer. When you have finished working with these three sites, not only will you have some great basic information, you will also be familiar with navigating the sea of income tax information!
How do income taxes work? How will I know how to file, and what does it mean to file? You'll look at three helpful websites and look for answers, scavenger-hunt style, that will give you a good understanding of some income tax basics. You'll also learn your way around some sites that can serve as great resources in the future.
In this lesson you will work with a series of interactives and websites in order to increase your knowledge of income taxes.
First Site:
Answer the questions below. For help answering the questions go to www.irs.gov/
Where is the closest IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center to where you live?
What if I owe more than I can pay?
What happens if I just don't file?
Let's say I wait tables after school. Are my tips taxable?
When did the IRS come into existence, and why?
What was the highest percentage income tax being paid in 1918? Why was it so high?
Look at Forms 1040A and 1040EZ. Which looks easier? Why?
Keep looking at the 1040A and EZ. According to the titles on the forms, who should use each form?
What's the purpose of a W-4 form?
What are the three important qualifications you must meet to be able to file a 1040EZ tax return?
How much is the standard deduction?
When should you itemize instead of claiming the standard deduction?
- List three itemized deductions you could claim now or in the near future.
Second Site:
Define the following terms in your own words. To learn about the terms, go to the glossary at /finance.yahoo.com/glossary/ for help.
Define the following terms in your own words:
Adjusted Gross Income
Gross Income
Itemized Deductions
Joint Return
- Standard Deduction
Third Site:
Complete the following interactive activity. For help, go to www.salary.com
What money is taxable and what is nontaxable? Click here to drag and drop the following descriptions into the correct category: taxable or nontaxable.
If it was not for income taxes, we would not have a lot of the nice things the government provides using tax money, like roads, police, and schools. But enjoying the benefits of taxes does not make them any less confusing. Now you know some basic tax information, and you also are familiar with some sites you can refer to in the future when you need to find out more.
Do you remember the information you learned about in this lesson? Take a couple of minutes to go back over the scavenger hunt questions and your answers. If you have any questions, now is the time to ask. Click here to complete a quiz on taxes.
In this lesson, you have looked at four useful websites, but there aremany other websites that also can help you master taxes. Your job is to find another website with tax information and identify some of its helpful features. Fill out the Tax Time Scavenger Hunt Extension Activity worksheet with your findings.

Hope for diabetes patients: Leaves of the Costus pictus D. Don plant has anti-diabetic properties
Wouldn't it be nice if you could treat your diabetes by just eating one leaf-a-day, thereby requiring no insulin injections or any other medications? This dream can now be realized by the people residing in the southern region of India. Costus pictus D. Don which is also known as the insulin plant or 'spiral ginger', is a plant whose leaves have been shown to have a hypoglycemic effect when consumed. This plant belongs to family Zingiberaceae, which is also known to have anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties.
Dr Annadurai S Ramasamy, former research director, Genotypic Technology, tells BioSpectrum that on learning about this plant, he became curious to study its probable anti-diabetic properties and initiated a next generation sequencing (NGS)-based approach to sequence the C. pictus transcriptome in order to identify and characterize transcripts potentially contributing to the observed medicinal properties of the plant leaves.
Genotypic Technology, a Bangalore-based genomics company, is a pioneer in providing next-generation sequencing and microarray services. Dr Sudha Rao, chief operating officer, Genotypic Technology, mentioned to Biospectrum, that, "When Dr Ramasamy told about the benefits of the leaves of insulin plant, we immediately got excited to unravel the probable mode of action quickly using next generation sequencing.
The challenge is that the functional annotation of identified transcripts (or RNA) is key to elucidating the mode-of-action and this is a bigger challenge for plants. So the key highlight of this study was the functional annotation of the transcripts of C. pictus."
The data identified transcripts related to pathways of bixin, geranial and geraniol biosynthesis which are known to be peroxixome proliferator activated receptors (PPAR) agonists and anti-glycation agents. Interestingly, current PPAR gamma agonists such as pioglitazones are used as anti-diabetic medication.

I read Alan Cox's rant about ORBS being shut off. ORBS and MAPS are two different organizations that are trying to block spam. They use different techniques, but both are considered controversial, because sites choose to use them to block email from reaching its destination. ORBS does it by doing network probes, which is considered by some to be antisocial. Both companies argue that people using their service to cut off mail are just exercising their rights and preventing spammers from using their resources.
Now it seems ORBS is accusing Vixie of using his influence on Above.Net to cut off ORBS and for some reason this is causing ORBS to shut down their service.
Excuse me folks. You just got cut off because you did things (probing) that the recipeint (Above.Net) thought was antisocial. Above.Net is just exercising their rights to prevent you from misusing their resources by probing. It isn't any different than people using your service to cut off spam. If you are going to argue that people have a right to setup their systems in the way they please, then Above.Net has the right to cut off ORBS if it likes. In fact, it may be a benefit to Above.Net customers. If Above.Net customers don't like it they can complain or change service companies.
I guess I'm getting used to this concept of recording in a diary and sharing my opinions in public. :-)

Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 4:39 PM GMT on December 07, 2012
The heat is on again in the U.S. After recording its first cooler-than-average month in sixteen months during October, the U.S. heated up considerably in November, notching its 20th warmest November since 1895, said NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) in their latest State of the Climate report. The warm November virtually assures that 2012 will be the warmest year on record in the U.S. The year-to-date period of January - November has been by far the warmest such period on record for the contiguous U.S.--a remarkable 1.0°F above the previous record. During the 11-month period, 18 states were record warm and an additional 24 states were top ten warm. The December 2011 - November 2012 period was the warmest such 12-month period on record for the contiguous U.S., and the eight warmest 12-month periods since record keeping began in 1895 have all ended during 2012. December 2012 would have to be 1°F colder than our coldest December on record (set in 1983) to prevent the year 2012 from being the warmest in U.S. history. This is meteorologically impossible, given the recent December heat in the U.S. As wunderground's weather historian Christopher C. Burt reported, an early-December heat wave this week set records for warmest December temperature on record in seven states. December 2012 is on pace to be a top-20% warmest December on record in the U.S.
November 2012 was the 8th driest November on record for the U.S., and twenty-two states had top-ten driest Novembers. The area of the contiguous U.S. experiencing moderate-to-exceptional drought grew from 59% on November 6 to 62% on December 6. This is the largest area of the U.S. in drought since 1954.

Most extreme January - November period on record
The year-to-date January - November period was the most extreme on record in the contiguous U.S., according to NOAA's U.S. Climate Extremes Index (CEI), which tracks the percentage area of the contiguous U.S. experiencing top-10% and bottom-10% extremes in temperature, precipitation, and drought. The CEI was 46% in January - November, more than double the average of 20%. A record 86% of the contiguous U.S. had maximum temperatures that were in the warmest 10% historically during the first eleven months of 2012, and 71% of the U.S. of the U.S. had warm minimum temperatures in the top 10%--2nd highest on record. The percentage area of the U.S. experiencing top-10% drought conditions was 32%, which was the 4th greatest since 1910. Only droughts in the Dust Bowl year of 1934, and during 1954 and 1956, were more extreme for the January - November period. Heavy 1-day downpours have been below average so far in 2012, though, with 9% of nation experiencing a top-10% extreme, compared to the average of 10%.
Figure 3. NOAA's U.S. Climate Extremes Index (CEI) for January - November shows that 2012 had the most extreme first eleven months of the year on record, with 46% of the contiguous U.S. experiencing top-10% extreme weather-more than double the average of 20%.

Hello all! I was wondering if you could give me your reviews from using mpix.com for printing your scrapbook pages. I'm wanting to print my scrapbooking layouts on canvas to hang on my wall - they have some really cool options for this! Has anyone done this before and what did you think? Also, do the edges get 'cut off' with their printing (not just canvas) like they do at other printing places? I had this problem ordering from Sams club. I print my 8x8's at home, but am wanting to do something bigger and love this website, but would love to hear reviews or others experiences first. Especially if I order the canvas, don't want to be disappointed after spending the $ for it. Thanks so much!!!

I went to the site and read their testimonials and it seems that they do have a reorder if you are not satisified. Their company has been in business since 1936 so thats a wonderful testimony right there. One of the testimonials was by a professional photographer and she was really pleased as it was better than Shutterfly. Thats saying a TON. So I suggest you choose one layout you want done and do it twice...once on their regular paper and once on their glitter paper and see what happens

This is the online photo place the the photographer from my wedding recommends... she actually uses them to process her own work (when you don't buy the rights to the photographs out right). They print beautiful prints and use a very sturdy board to mount larger photographs. It really helps them lay flat in frames. I was very satisfied with what they did for me.

I am another very satisfied mpix customer. While I haven't printed anything on a canvas yet, the prints I've received have had wonderful color. They are fast with the shipping also!
Posted 07 May 2009 - 03:19 PM
It sounds like some pretty positive feedback on that company. Another avenue to look into is your local sign shops. Many of them have large format printers that print on canvas. It may be more expensive than online though. I worked for a sign shop that is part of a national chain and I had one print done on canvas and it came out really nice. I got an employee discount on it though.

Serve these fruit- and nut-packed gems when "plain ol' muffins" just won't do.
To remove peach skin quickly, plunge whole peaches into boiling water for about 30 seconds, then plunge immediately into cold water. The skins will slip right off!
Fresh peaches out of season? Thawed and drained frozen peaches or well-drained canned peaches work just as well as fresh.
Walnuts or almonds would also complement the peach flavor in these muffins.

Evening with Kushner set for April 4
Posted March 29, 2002; 03:57 p.m.
"An Evening With Playwright Tony Kushner" is scheduled for 8 p.m. Thursday, April 4, in McCosh 50.
The program will include an address by Kushner, who wrote the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning work "Angels in America," followed by a panel discussion.
The panelists will be: Emily Mann, artistic director of McCarter Theatre; Maria DiBattista, professor of English and comparative literature; Tamsen Wolff, instructor of English; and Michael Cadden, director of the Program in Theater and Dance.
Kushner's newest play, "Homebody/Kabul," opened in December at the New York Theatre Workshop. Completed before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the play tells the story of a middle-aged English woman -- a "homebody" -- who travels to Afghanistan in 1998 and mysteriously disappears.
Kushner's appearance is designated as a Farnum Lecture and is part of the University's Public Lectures Series .

Ringworm is a skin infection due to a fungus. Often, there are several patches of ringworm on your skin at once.
Dermatophytid; Tinea
Ringworm is common, especially among children. However, it may affect people of all ages. It is caused by a fungus, not a worm like the name suggests.
Many bacteria and fungi live on your body. Some of these are useful, while others can cause infections. Ringworm occurs when a type of fungus called tinea grows and multiplies on your skin.
Ringwork can affect the skin on your:
Ringworm can spread easily from one person to another. You can catch ringworm if you touch someone who has the infection, or if you come into contact with items contaminated by the fungus, such as combs, unwashed clothing, and shower or pool surfaces. You can also catch ringworm from pets that carry the fungus. Cats are common carriers.
The fungus that causes ringworm thrive in warm, moist areas. Ringworm is more likely when you are often wet (such as from sweating) and from minor injuries to your skin, scalp, or nails.
Symptoms of ringworm include:
If ringworm affects your hair, you will have bald patches.
If ringworm affects your nails, they will become discolored, thick, and even crumble.
Most of the time, your health care provider can diagnose ringworm by looking at your skin. The fungus may glow when your skin is examined with a blue light (called a Wood's lamp) in a dark room.
Tests to confirm the diagnosis may include:
To care for ringworm:
Your health care provider may prescribe pills to treat the fungus if you have:
You may need medicines such as ketoconazole, which are stronger than over-the-counter products. You may also need antibiotics to treat skin infections from strep or staph that are caused by scratching the area.
Infected pets also should be treated.
Skin medicine usually treats ringworm within 4 weeks. If your ringworm infection is severe or it does not respond well to self-care, it will usually respond quickly to antifungal pills.
Call your doctor right away if you have any signs of a bacterial infection, which can result from scratching. These signs include swelling, warm skin, sudden worsening in redness of the patches, red streaking, pus, drainage, and fever.
Call your doctor if:

Studies have shown that things which are traditionally thought of as aversive (for example, electric shocks) can be set up in such a way that the introduction of an electric shock can actually increase responding - thus making it, technically, a reinforcer. To simplify the explanation, the electric shocks act as a signal or cue for future events (i.e. the presentation of food), and so they take on a conditioned value which can be used to increase behavior.
Isn't this the way of the collar use today ..? A reinforcer of a known command ...IE: dog is in route and back nick back ...Stimulation when the dog is doing a command correctly? Steve S

- Description
A view of the Bario area. Rice Paddies, Bario High School, Bario Library, a church or two and houses can be seen.
Bario is located in a valley in the Kelebit (the indigeneous people of that location) Highlands of Sarawak / Borneo. The rice grown here is very tasty and well known throughout the area. Salt wells nearby were also an important resource in years gone by, and still is produced and sold as a specialty item. To get to Bario, you take a 55 minute flight via Twin Otter to the 600 meter long airstrip, or a very long 4wd trip on rough logging roads. (reportedly 10-14 hours). Although remote, the community is progressive. A community radio station was put up ~3 years ago (the first in Malaysia), e-mail/internet is available in town, cell service is OK, and paved and dirt roads make it easy to get around via walking, motorbike or car.
The food is great too!!!

|Strong violence and coarse language
|Available on:

Liberty City is a dangerous place to be.
Liberty City is a dangerous place to be. Crime is spiralling out of control, and Liberty's three boroughs are being carved up in vicious turf wars between the many organised gangs that inhabit the City. Obviously, the Mafia are heavily involved, but Yakuza, Yardies, Colombians and other, less high-profile organisations are making their presence felt from one end of town to the other.
With so much bad blood being spilt, gangland vacancies are springing up on a daily basis. There's plenty of work for an aspiring criminal such as yourself, and with a recommendation from a 'friend' of the Family, you've just bagged your first job for the Mafia. Now all you have to do is watch your back, climb through the ranks, and build your reputation on the streets through a campaign of senseless violence, in this bloody but brilliant crime simulator.
You don't have to work for the Mafia, but it helps. The Cosa Nostra have a wide variety of enemies, which means there's no shortage of missions for an efficient and trusted killer. When you're not clipping the opposition, there are banks to rob, security vans to hold up, and all manner of other nefarious schemes to carry out. But all good things must come to an end, and before long you'll be looking to sell your new-found friends out to one of the other gangs in Liberty - before they do it to you.
This is a shame, because the Mafia have some of the coolest cars in the game, hulking great black slabs that glide through the city with style, and can absorb plenty of damage. Fortunately, there's no shortage of choice, as the streets of Liberty City are packed with every imaginable variety of vehicles - sports cars, pick up trucks, lorries, limos, and many many more - and you can steal them all. You can even steal an ambulance, fire engine or police car, and start working for the emergency services!
Or, if you like, you can go freelance. Surf the streets as a vigilante, administering punishment beatings if any of the locals step out of line. Or steal cars to order for the dodgy exporters at the docks. Or pick up the missions that the local "businessmen" leave for you at phoneboxes dotted around the city. Or... well, you get the idea. Do your own thing.
That said, whatever you do, make sure you watch out for the police. Although they tend to turn a blind eye to minor misdemeanours, most criminal activity triggers a concerted effort to bust your no-good hide. At first, you'll just have the local constabulary to deal with, but as you commit bigger and badder crimes, you'll find the FBI, SWAT teams, helicopter gunships and ultimately the Army are called out to halt your one-man crime spree. Now, if only you could find a way to steal one of their tanks...
The open-ended structure of the missions and gameplay will be familiar to GTA veterans, but the all-new, next generation Liberty City completely changes the nature of the gameplay. It's a sprawling, intricately detailed, three-dimensional playground, populated by a staggering array of law-abiding pedestrians, law-avoiding gang members, and all points in-between. Hours of fun can be had walking the streets, watching the antics of the locals (and keeping them in line where necessary). When you tire of this, there are the 80+ missions to contend with, all set up with well-written cut-scenes featuring professional actors. Or you could just cruise in your car (or preferably someone else's), enjoying the scenery and listening to the ten hilarious radio stations. Essentially, you can do whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it, in any way that takes your fancy, and that's what makes Grand Theft Auto 3 an absolutely essential part of any self-respecting PlayStation 2 owner's collection.
- Wreak havoc in a bustling 3D city!
- Totally open-ended gameplay lets you choose how to play
- Over 50 vehicles to steal, and more than 20 weapons at your disposal
- Ten radio stations serve the city with hip-hop, dance, rock, country, opera, and more

Filtration for 125 gallon community tank?
Hi all,
I'm going to setup a 125 gallon community tank (20+ corys and 50+ tetras). If I use 2x Penguin 350s and 2x ATI #5 sponge filters, will that be enough filtration for my tank. My head says it might be not enough, but knowing that the bioload of corys and tetras aren't that high (correct me if I'm wrong), it should be ok. What do you guys think?
PS. I want to stay with HOBs, Powerheads and sponge filters only. Thanks!
I would do an aquaclear 110 & 70 or 2 aquaclear 110s and not have to worry about the added cost of spongefilters plus the added cost of a decent air pump to drive the sponge filters.

Enjoy this distinctive side dish - horseradish mashed potatoes that can be made ready in 30 minutes!
Not only are they a terrific source of carbohydrates, eating potatoes is a good way to get more Vitamin C and fiber, particularly when eating the skin. Potatoes are also essentially fat-free, and studies have shown that they keep you "filled up" longer than most any other food.
Just taking a break and going for a walk helps clear body, mind and spirit. Instead of eating lunch at your desk every day, make it a goal to get up, stretch, go for a walk, and return to your desk refreshed and ready for the afternoon!

- - Taming the Beast - Wide Stance Duck wants to carve (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/tips-tricks-snowboard-coaching/72226-taming-beast-wide-stance-duck-wants.html)
Taming the Beast - Wide Stance Duck wants to carve
My conclusion is, carving with a very wide stance works perfectly fine.
Hip rotation, screws up carving performance with a duck stance and the wide stance is more affected by that. When keeping the hips reasonably parallel to the board, things work just as well with the wide stance.
Are there any ducks with very wide stances and stiff rocker/hybrid boards that can carve well?
The long-winded version:
I'm 6'2" tall. I have a very stiff board symmetrical twin board (tail rocker/camber under binding/rocker in middle/camber under binding/front rocker) that I can carve pretty well with a 23.5" stance and -9/21 binding angles. However, for pretty much everything else I strongly prefer a 26.8" stance with -12/12, -12/15 or -15/15 binding angles (which I'm sure many people will consider extreme).
The wide stance gives me much more control in choppy terrain and my active suspension of independently moving legs and anticipating bumps works much better. I also have a much easier time forcing turns in bad terrain and turning with little weight in front (useful when riding powder with crusty stuff mixed in) and riding powder is a lot less strenuous since I can shift weight back with a lot less effort (riding with set-back screws up handling on groomers).
The only problem with the wide stance is that I can only carve stuff that's not very steep with very good snow conditions - otherwise the carves turn into scarves.
As far as I can tell, I have 3 issues:
- with the narrow stance, I can de-rocker the board by pushing the knees outwards; really helps with setting up the turn, otherwise the board wants to turn a very short radius (can't do that with the wide stance)
- with the wide stance, I have problems tilting the board as much; probably a result of a slightly restricted movement range and binding angles (the -9/21 doesn't work with the wide stance)
- I'm fighting the board: with the narrow stance it can be foot-steered, with the wide stance, dynamic turning is pretty much mandatory (torsionally, on a scale of 1-10, the board probably deserves a stiffness rating of 12)
@Snowolf: I know about angulation vs. inclination and do my best to bend and utilize angulation.
I have screwed around a lot with my bindings (pun intended) and having the maximum forward lean helps, but not enough.
An intermediate stance helps a little with carving, but is not worth the handling sacrifice in choppy terrain.
Any tips are appreciated.
What is your foot size? Your board waist?
Perhaps you are feeling the effects of a wider board width working against you when you ride with a wider stance. The more underhang you have, the more effort it'll take to put it up on edge, this affects your riding immensely in challenging situations, such as carving steeps. (no skidding whatsoever at all)
Foot size is US14/MP310. Board is an oil tanker with 28.6cm waist, 33cm tip/tail, 166cm length. I wish underhang was an issue.
After reading some more, my scarves meet the AASI definition of carves (track being less than 1 board width) quite often.
I spent a lot of time doing carving experiments and switching the stances back and forth. I found the major problem I was having with the wide stance. In case it helps someone else, here it goes...
I was rotating my hips slightly into the turn (ironically, from what I've read, it's supposed to be helpful), which caused my back leg to rotate along with the hips (can't keep it in place with the wide stance - end of movement range). That resulted in more rockering of the board and in weight shifting through the turn being more problematic.
While I thought, I was getting more angulation with the narrow stance, that's not the case. With being able to de-rocker the board, I had more speed/larger turn radius and simply more inclination.
When everything worked right, I was able to get nice pencil-line carves with the wide stance, but things are quite a bit more finicky and really intolerant of sloppy technique. Not staying extremely focused and the tail starts washing out a bit...
What was quite noticeable is that edge transitions were snappier/cleaner/faster with the wide stance.
Try 15/15 for binding angles... Get rid of the negative on your rear binding. It's going to put your hips in the right position and help with angulation. It also keeps you from rotation your knee and putting stress on it. Your trailing knee will thank you!
It will feel funny at first but you'll be dragging hip in no time...
i know you're asking about carving with a duck stance. i don't think i know anyone that does. or at least not all the time, maybe part of a run but not really carving... if anything try 0 on your back to start off? i dunno, i'm full positive angle +24/+12 and 95% of the time i'm just carving and speed running down steep slopes...
i tried with my bindings at 0 or negative (duck) and i don't have nearly the control over the board as i do. i can do it in a pinch but it requires so much more effort and feels unnatural to me...
not sure if that answered your question. maybe an expert can chime in if you're really adamant about carving with a duck stance; i'm sure it can be done... (nothing is really impossible)
Seriously? I would stand like a knock-kneed pigeon on the board. Then I would blow a knee or ankle for sure.
With a duck stance (properly done), the hips are rotated forward very, very little (not more more than the front binding angle), so there is not much additional stress on the back knee. (Of course, there are plenty of pseudo-ducks who ride like they had a forward stance.)
I really want to make carving with the symmetrical wide duck stance work, since I can ride WAY more aggressively in chop and maybe one of these days, my switch-riding won't suck.
Anyway, like I mentioned in my previous post, I think I found the major issue holding me back.
Thinking about it, I was doing fencing in a previous life - that may well be the reason I'm so comfortable with the wide stance.
I was wrong about the angulation thing, I mentioned in the first post. There is no difference.
Doing some squatting exercises, the strength difference is surprisingly large - that may actually be the biggest factor (in that I can leave my legs 'looser').
When I was turning the hips, I probably rockered the board even more.
With the wide stance, I can perform smoother edge switches and set the new edge better (when I don't rotate the hips). So I don't need to de-rocker the board, if I watch my hips.
Anyway, even if it may not sound like it, I do appreciate your feedback. Even if I don't go to narrower stance (it looks like, I can make things work quite well; I had some runs with really clean pencil-tracks), it's helpful to think about what I may or may not be be giving up and where I may encounter bio-mechanical limitations.
Doing more experimenting, hip rotation really seems to screw up carving performance with a duck stance.
Thinking about it, it will result in the board being twisted and the tip being at a higher angle than the tail. Thus, the tip will want to turn at a shorter radius than the tail -> perfect setup for turning carves into scarves.
I now think that with the narrower stance and trying to de-rocker the board, I'm counteracting some of that board twist and what's helpful is not really straightening out the board, but the reduction in board twist.
Hip rotation can be using to improve range of most in the legs in a specific direction. In carving, this is useful to help twist the back half of the snowboard to a higher edge angle that the front at the last half of a carved turn. In my avatar pic(I'm in a duckstance, soft boots,), my hips are rotated toward the nose to give me more room to drive my back knee towards the snow. This has the effect of tightening up the turn towards the finish and puts an nice exclamation point on an already solid carve turn. For heelside, rotate the hips toward the tail to do the same thing. It's important that if you do this at the start of your turn it will totally hose up your turn. This move is only for the 2nd half of the turn when your edge set is solid.

Thought maybe some of you guys could give me some info on a good place to book a hunt for an Osceola either this year or next. I have been wanting to put a tag on one for a few years and it looks like it is time to shell out the money and get it done. Any info on guides and outfitters would be greatly appreciated.
Happy Hunting!


text: In the last 3 waves we have seen themes. So Skiff lando, AT-ST Driver and Han were from ROTJ. Scout, Jedi Luke and Ewoks were from ROTJ with a AOTC Yoda thrown into the mix. The last wave including Old Ben, Jawas and Garindan are all from ANH. Can we expect an ESB theme for the next wave or will it be another ANH? I only say this because Hasbro has done 2 ROTJ wave in a row and a ANH after. So we may get an ANH wave next. With hasbro we never know. Anyways, if it's an ANH wave what would you like to see? Or if it's an ESB wave what would you like? If it'a an ANH wave again I'd like to see a R1 droid, Hammerhead, Rebel Trooper and since we know Hasbro will throw a rehash into the wave, I guess a Orange Sandtrooper would be cool since it was a diamond exclusive. If it's an ESB wave, I'd like to see K-3PO, FX-7, 2-1B Medic Droid and for the rehash, a Snowtrooper. They could make a deluxe and box with a canon! So what do you guys think?

Family: Strigidae, Owls view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE Has essentially pure white plumage with small black spots and bars; at close range, feathered feet, black bill, and yellow eyes can be seen. ADULT FEMALE AND 1ST-WINTER MALE Mainly white, but note more extensive blackish spots on upperparts and dark barring below. 1ST-WINTER FEMALE Heavily marked with dark barring on all parts, except head.
Dimensions Length: 24" (61 cm); Wngspn: 4' 7" (1.4 m)
Habitat Fairly common tundra-breeding species within its high Arctic range, although numbers vary considerably from year to year, influenced by abundance or available selection of prey. Outside breeding season, most birds move south, the extent to which they travel influenced by severity of winter weather and availability of prey.
Observation Tips Relatively easy to see if you visit its high Arctic breeding grounds in summer. In winter, most observations are by chance. Can turn up almost anywhere across Canada and northern U.S. in suitable habitatsóoften open grassland or coastal areas. In such situations, white plumage makes it easy to spot.
Range Alaska, Rocky Mountains, Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, California, New England, Plains, Southeast, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, Northwest
Voice Mostly silent, although territorial male sometimes utters series of deep hoots.
Discussion Huge and unmistakable species, which lacks "ear" tufts. Often active during the day, and obliged to be diurnal in Arctic breeding grounds by perpetual summer daylight. Even if resting or roosting, open nature of its favored habitats, and sheer size, make it relatively conspicuous. Feeds on lemmings and voles during summer months; diet in winter range is often more varied. Sexes are dissimilar.

I'm not sure you can change a dogs day to day personality, but I certainly believe you can mold proper behaviors and expectations during training and testing atmospheres. I thinks it's important to note that these high drive dogs HAVE to have an outlet. You have to train for balance, and develop expectations of when its time to go, and when it's time to "not go"
I have a 16 month old that can get pretty darn high,but can turn it off in an instant, and stare a hole through you waiting on the next command. If you can harness this drive, and get the dog to engage you, then you got a dog that is a blast to train!
Bill Hillmann has some excellent material about developing that contrast between hot and cold.
Check out this video. It deals with steadiness, but he talks about how to develop the on and off.

For the last three weeks my BLF 11M has had horrible gas and loose stool. It's not the runs but the stool is gloppy. Nothing has changed in her diet. At first I thought maybe she got ahold of something that didn't agree with her. God knows they explore the world by eating bits of it. But after 3 wks and watching to make sure she hasn't ate anything odd I can only think her food is no longer agreeing with her. Does this happen? Has anyone else had this problem?
I'm going to start looking for a new food but I wanted to see if I missed something

National Diabetes Prevention Plan - Cameroon
Research evidence was used to get the government of Cameroon to adopt a national diabetes programme. Studies showed that 12-16% of adults in urban areas and 5-6% in rural areas had hypertension (?160/95 mmHg) and 5-6% of men and 3% of women in urban and rural areas had diabetes.
With limited information about health promotion activity in the country, research was carried out to assess existing health promotion activities, and the opportunities and barriers for preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in Cameroon. The research assessed four major NCD risk factors– tobacco smoking, excessive alcohol intake, lack of physical activity, and high fat/high salt content 'Western' diet. These were reviewed under health education; health protection (policy, legal or fiscal measures); and preventive medicine (interventions delivered largely by health professionals); 'other' interventions and monitoring/surveillance.
Findings of research
Key findings of the research suggested that there was no systematic monitoring of tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking and diet or physical activity levels in Cameroon.
Health promotion activity was limited. In addition, health protection measures were found to be weak or non-existent and even when present were often poorly enforced. Health education efforts were also minimal. There was almost no prevention through advice and support to people with risk factors for NCDs through primary health care services. Government strategies, if they existed, were limited and not supported by resources and the political will to ensure their effective implementation. Lobbying groups against tobacco and alcohol were found to be weak, whereas the industries were well-organised and powerful. The report was disseminated widely in Cameroon.
One of the main recommendations was:
"NCD prevention should be adopted as a public health priority with commitment to achieving tobacco and alcohol control and dietary and physical activity targets , through a cross-ministerial framework– not just in the Ministry of Health. Funding for NCD prevention also needs to be diversified outside of the Ministry of Health to Non-Governmental Organisations, other partners and civil society, in order to maximize sustainability."
Considering the Cameroon context of limited health resources, low awareness about diabetes and multiple beliefs and practices that contradict prescribed conduct for the prevention of diabetes, a prevention approach was proposed.
Using advocacy supported by evidence, the government was led to develop and adopt a national diabetes policy, to bring about a more reliable supply of medicines at affordable prices to make screening and other diabetic needs cheaper, take over ownership of diabetic management and prevention approaches, and expand the programme to all the ten provinces of the country.
A tripartite prevention approach involving health facilities, the community, and the Ministry of health was used. At the health facility level diabetes clinics were created and staff trained to manage diabetes better and to carry out diabetes education and sensitization.
At the community level, community based organizations and traditional doctors were trained on the risk factors, signs, symptoms and the non pharmacological management of diabetes. Their role is to sensitize the population on diabetes. Traditional healers also identify and refer patients to the health facilities for screening. Large scale screenings are undertaken during major days like World Diabetes Day.
Following these, the government has since done the following:
- Elaborated and validated or adopted a national policy for diabetes
- Created a department for NCDs at the level of Ministry of Health
- Signed contracts with drug companies for affordable and reliable drug supply
- Incorporated diabetes drugs in the national essential drug supply system
- Reduced the cost of blood sugar test for diabetes
- Reduced cost of diabetes drugs
- Reduced cost of glucometers
- Expanded the diabetes clinics to all ten provinces in the country
Provided some equipment for diabetes and hypertension clinics

HawkEye G is a dynamic active defense system designed to leverage existing security assets while providing advanced cyber security analytics and automated countermeasure techniques. The combination of the traditional signature-based and new behavior-based heuristics leads to heightened awareness of standard network activity and deviations that could indicate a potentially disastrous situation. Understanding the full threat and defense landscape is crucial for cyber security mitigation and the HawkEye G team has invested the time and resources into developing that holistic solution.
HawkEye G is a single deployable unit that easily integrates with an enterprise's current IT investment. Reduced human workload due to accelerated mitigation of network security events and automated implementation of policy means that human capital can be redistributed to focus on the most complex issues. Furthermore, HawkEye G's automated capability minimizes error, increasing the consistency and accuracy of detecting anomalies. Organizations will now be able to align staff capacity to evaluating surfaced network compromises rather than to threat discovery and investigation.
This white paper discusses how HawkEye G's unique proactive defense posture makes malicious actors' tactics costly and more risky than traditional cyber solutions, while decreasing the total number of successful breaches.
