"Hope is a rainbow of thought."
Harley King
Rainbow Cake for Pinktober. Ever tried baking with an 18 year old. Maybe , I should rephrase that. Ever tried with an 18 year old teen like mine who has a rainbow baking obsession? It's a LOAD of work! LOTS!! Beware … but the fruits are sweet! Cut a slice and you know it's so worth all the dishes, the messy kitchen, the batter splattered walls with 'Ooops I did it again Mama!', 'Can Coco lick the bowl? Please?'
'I'm gonna make Papa a rainbow cake for his birthday! Coco's gonna help me!' Coco was game of course … and the day began tediously! First to get the child out of bed, then to get her out of a shower, then to get her off the phone. By the time I was at my wits end, she was ready to paint the kitchen in rainbow colours! 'Let's start now!!'
October 1st marks the beginning of breast cancer awareness month all over the world. American Cancer Society uses this time to boost their campaign to raise awareness to breast cancer and to inform people that there is now a 98 percent rate of survival if the cancer is detected early. October is the month where you will see pink ribbons everywhere, which has been the national symbol for breast cancer awareness since it was first introduced back in 1991.
It took us all day to get the cake going. Six layers and a small oven, only 2 baking tins and a load of power cuts, yet we marched on. Much to my chagrin, she took naps in between while I washed and cleaned the kitchen after every 'round'. Once again, be warned … there is tons of washing up!
Time for the frosting. We 'amicably' settled for a salted caramel butter-cream icing {after a battle of sorts of course}. It's a delicious frosting and soon she was spooning more into her mouth than onto the cake. A few disagreements later, in this incessantly hot October, she 'splooshed' the icing on. That was when the Dad called from work. 'Is the cake PINK he asked? My cake is always the Pinktober cake.'
Next cue! PINK!! It's nice to have a daughter who loves art. Also nice to have some marzipan on hand. She had fun doing the letters, the ribbon {that she was well aware of as it's an annual feature} … the rest was a breeze. She did the whole cake on her own!
One slice later, the rainbow knocked our hearts away! This is the absolute joy of a birthday cake. Despite it being a butter rich cake, with an indulgent buttercream frosting, the Rainbow Cake is a fantastic 'once in a while' baking adventure. A big {read greedy} slice is definitely on the sweeter side, but a thin slice hits all the right chords!
The cake tasted even better the next day, and being a butter cake, it keeps really well for a few days. However, the kids nibbled away at it and it was soon gone. The daughter later said that she was surprised I even let her make one! She knows that I barely ever make such heavily 'buttery' cakes. Then again, she has a thing for rainbows and a passion for baking rainbow cupcakes and cakes.
This cake was worth every dish I washed, worth the million times I cleaned the batter splattered counter and wall tiles, worth all the spoons she licked and all the piping bags she used up! It's a fun cake to bake. You must try it for a special occasion bake!
Recipe: Rainbow Cake
Summary: This is the absolute joy of a birthday cake. Despite it being a butter rich cake, with an indulgent buttercream frosting, the Rainbow Cake is a fantastic 'once in a while' baking adventure. We loved the salted buttercream frosting. Cake adapted minimally from the Whisk Kid
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour {plus cooling, chilling time}
- Cake
- 360g plain flour
- 4tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 225g unsalted butter, room temperature
- 450g cups sugar
- 170g egg whites, room temperature {about 6}
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 350ml milk, room temperature
- Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple gel food coloring
- Filling
- 400ml low fat cream
- 100g icing sugar
- few drops almond extract
- Topping
- 200g sugar
- 2tsp water
- 100ml low fat cream
- 1/2 tsp salt
- vanilla extract
- 170g salted butter
- 100g low fat cream
- 200g icing sugar
- Cake
- Preheat oven to 180C. Brush six 8-inch-round cake pans {or as many 8-inch cake pans as you have, reusing them as necessary} with shortening. Line bottom of each cake pan with parchment paper; brush again and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- Cream together butter and sugar. Slowly add egg whites and mix until well combined. Add vanilla and mix until fully incorporated. Add flour mixture and milk in two alternating additions, beginning with the flour and ending with the milk. Mix until well combined.
- Divide batter evenly between six medium bowls. Add enough of each color of food coloring to each bowl, whisking, until desired shade is reached. Transfer each color to an individual cake pan. Transfer to oven and bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, about 15 minutes {working in batches if necessary}.
- Remove cakes from oven and transfer to a wire rack; let cool for 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto a wire rack; re-invert and let cool completely.
- Place the bottom layer on serving platter {or lazy Susan} and spread with about a cup of buttercream. Repeat for remaining layers.I placed an adjustable dessert ring around the cake to hold the layers in place.
- Refrigerate until set, about 30 mins to an hour.
- Using an offset spatula, cover cake again with remaining frosting.
- Salted Butter Caramel
- Place sugar and water in a deep saucepan and simmer undisturbed until the sugar caramelises to a golden brown. Add the cream {CAREFULLY as it will splutter}, take off heat briefly to mix in, then return pan until it all comes together to a smooth sauce.
- Take off heat, add salt and vanilla extract. Allow to cool completely.
- Frosting
- In a large bowl, beat together the salted butter, cream and icing sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Slowly pour in the cold salted butter caramel and continue whipping until firm and smooth.
- Chill until required.

Dating used to be simple.
Someone asked you. You said yes.
You went to the movies. Had a choc-top.
You know, old school.
But now you have to have skills, and prove that you have them, not that I've thrown myself into this pond.
I've just noticed that dating seems to have changed.
Like Napoleon Dynamite declared, "Well, nobody's going to go out with me. I don't even have any skills ... You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer-hacking skills ... Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills."
But not anymore.
Now you have to fill out questionnaires. Put in your application, as if you're applying to for a credit card.
You're required to tell about your life in video testimonials.
Unleash yourself in chat rooms.
Reveal your deepest desires.
Take a lie-detector test.
Know about Facebook.
Hand over DNA.
And eventually, despite your best efforts, go onto online dating sites.
Not only are the usual suspects still matching us with our perfect mate on 29 dimensions of compatibility, but the online dating world has branched out into more specific human subgenres.
Talk about marketing.
Apparently, no longer are general-purpose sites good enough to fulfill our dating needs. In the US, marketing gurus have focused their efforts on sites such as ChristianMingle.com, for Christians who want to hang with other Christians, and blackwhitemeet.com, for inter-racial dating.
In Australia, Jewish singles can find their Jewish soul mate on RSVP.com.au's special Jewish section and get this: ashleymadison.com wants to help married women look for a date.
Then there's australiansugardaddy.com.au, which is for gals who don't want love but sure could use a sugar daddy to finance their latest shopping exploits.
And, of course, if none of that works out, you could always try to get into the "Millionaire Matchmakers" club, just in case one of the attractive qualities you look for in a mate is money, and lots of it.
Or, in this day, when no one seems to have enough gumption to actually talk to someone in person, you can stop yourself from asking someone for a coffee via text, Facebook wall post or YouTube video, and actually ask her or him.
You know, old school.

The National Gallery of Ireland is delighted to announce a recent gift of ten superb original colour illustrations by Harry Clarke (1889-1931) which were executed for Hans Christian Andersen's 'The Fairy Tales', published in 1916 by Harrap & Co. in London.
The jewel-like colour illustrations, all in pristine condition, have been in a private collection since the 1920s. They appeared for sale last June as part of a special exhibition at The Fine Art Society in London, where they were purchased and presented as a gift to the National Gallery by Lochlann and Brenda Quinn (Heritage Gift/ Section 1003/ October 2008).
In 1916, London publishers, Harrap & Co., published three editions of 'The Fairy Tales' by Hans Christian Andersen, illustrated by the then unknown young Irish artist, Harry Clarke. As well as a boxed grey clothbound edition and a full leather edition, the publishers produced a lavish vellum-bound edition, with each volume signed and numbered. For this edition (limited to 125 copies for sale in England and America) Clarke drew 40 full page illustrations, 16 of which were in colour, the remainder in black and white. Clarke completed his commission in Dublin in April 1915, around the same time he began work on the stained-glass commission for the Honan Chapel in Cork. Most of the remaining original illustrations in the publisher's collection are thought to have been destroyed during the Blitz in World War II.
Ten colour illustrations by Harry Clarke, produced for 'The Fairy Tales' by Hans Christian Andersen (1916):
The Garden of ParadiseThe Snow QueenThe NightingaleThe TinderboxThe Wild SwanThe Shepherdess and the Chimney SweeperThe SwineherdThe Travelling CompanionThe Hardy Tin SoldierThe Elf-Hill
This recent gift of Clarke drawings is a particularly significant addition to the Gallery's collection of works by the artist which comprises 6 illustrations from Pope's 'Rape of the Lock' series; 'The Song of the Mad Prince' (1917)- a stained glass piece set in a walnut cabinet designed by James Hicks of Dublin; 15 textile and stained-glass designs; a series of cartoon designs of 'A Winged Angel in Profile' (on display in the Irish 20th Century Rooms); 2 studies for the Notre Dame Convent, Sussex (1924), and a large stained-glass, 'The Mother of Sorrows (1926). The Gallery also has a copy of Harrap's 'The Fairy Tales' by Hans Christian Andersen which was presented to Thomas Bodkin (1887-1961) by the artist in September 1916. Bodkin was a great supporter of the young artist.

Update on Canine Heartworm Prevention
1. All currently available heartworm preventatives are members of the same group known as macrocyclic lactomes which includes ivermectin (Heartgard), milbemycin (Sentinel & Trifexsis) salemectin (Revolution), and moxidectin (Advantage Multi and Proheart 6 injection). There are 20+ compounds in that group.
2. The macrocyclic lactomes kill the L3/L4 larvae in the tissue phase after inoculation of the larva by a mosquito bite.
3. To be effective these products must be administered every 30 days, beyond 40 days some larva may not be affected, the exception being the injectable form of moxidectin (Proheart 6.)
Heartworms Resistant to the class of drugs macrocyclic lactomes.
In 2007 +\- the FDA received an abnormal number of reports of lack of efficacy hereafter referred to as LOE. The vast majority of these reports were from the Mississippi delta in TN, AK, MS, and LA. Subsequently there has been much speculation about the possibility of a resistant strain of the canine heartworm Dirofilaria Immitis in that region. A number of scientific studies have ensued, from those here is what we currently know.
1. There does appear to be a genetically different strain of D. Immitis in those areas.
2. The affected area does not appear to have expanded beyond that area.
3. Of the reports of LOE an analysis of the medical records of those dogs reveals that 80% did not have sufficient product to administer to those dogs every 30 days.
4. 99% of the dogs in the affected area are protected by currently available products.
5. There is a genetically identifiable difference in the apparent D Immitis "resistant strain" however researchers currently think this strain is not as robust as the standard D. Immitis.
6. Resistance to one member of that class equals resistance to all members since they all have the same mode of action.
Current theory is that the resistant strain of D. Immitis may have resulted from the widespread use of the so called slow kill method of heartworm treatment in the indemic area.
No kill shelter programs have moved thousands of potentially heartworm infected dogs into areas of the country which previously have not had heartworm disease. Many of these dogs come from the gulf coast and the Carribean where heartworm disease is prevalent.
What can you do to protect your dog
1. Give label approved heartworm preventatives every 30 days year round no matter where you live.
2. If possible limit exposure to mosquitos with the use of screened or indoor kennels, mosquito traps, and/or mosquito repellents. Remember that mosquitos are most active from twilight until dawn.
3. Perform annual heartworm tests for adult dogs. The sooner heartworm infections are treated the less likely for complications or long term pulmonary artery damage.
Information is changing rapidly and what we know today could change tomorrow.

Here in Georgia there is no such thing as a time of day when mosquitoes are inactive. I have my yard sprayed for mosquitoes regularly during the prime season and it helps, but it is like shoveling crap against the tide.
The way our dogs move around, especially working dogs, I am surprised that the area wherein the resistant strain is found has not expanded.

Though he doesn't go into specifics about how his company works, Bain Capital is showing its stripes in a battle in Warren, Maine, that has lasted the past two years, and counting.
Rather than demonstrating Bain building businesses, communities, and society, the story of that battle reveals the strategies, techniques, and tactics Bain uses to force its goals upon unwilling, and sometimes unsuspecting, regular people. And results from similar assaults on other communities demonstrate the profit-at-any-cost mentality that has laid waste to lives and communities — a far cry from Romney's campaign-trail tales of success.
The company's unyielding efforts to open a methadone clinic in Warren have turned the town into a costly battleground, making enemies of friends and neighbors, racking up legal fees, and marking a local businessman as public enemy number one in the community he has always called home.
The first part of the story is a problem that has swept Maine and much of rural America: addiction to prescription drugs that have been diverted from their intended medical use into recreationally abused substances.
Maine has the highest rate of people seeking treatment for opiate addiction in the country, at eight times the national average, according to a 2010 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration report.
In 1998, Maine was the only state in which non-heroin opioids were the primary drug of abuse in treatment admissions. Between 1995 and 2001, Maine patients treated for opiate abuse more than quadrupled.
In 2011 Maine Attorney General Bill Schneider called a prescription-drug abuse summit to address drug death rates (86 percent of Maine's are due to prescription drugs), rising rates of pharmacy robberies (from 2 in 2008 to 24 in 2011 and 24 so far this year), and crime (Public Safety Commissioner John E. Morris called prescription drugs the "driving factor" in Maine's largest overall crime spike since 1975).
In February, Republican Governor Paul LePage created the Maine Prescription Drug Abuse Task Force. Its first report is due this week. One member of the group is Melissia Petro, a lobbyist for Purdue Pharma, the maker of oxycodone (brand-name OxyContin), which was released in the mid-'90s and is now the most widely abused prescription drug in Maine. In 2009, oxycodone surpassed methadone as the most common single drug mentioned on death certificates in Maine, according to a University of Maine study.
In 2006, Bain Capital bought CRC Health Corporation for $723 million and proceeded to give CRC, now the nation's largest provider of drug treatment services, the royal private equity treatment.

North Spokane couple's fight takes deadly turn
SPOKANE, Wash. - The girlfriend of the man shot and killed after breaking into a house through a doggie door Wednesday is sad that Marshall Balduff is dead, but isn't defending him.
Balduff was shot and killed breaking into a North Spokane house Wednesday night, and Kim Blackmore, Balduff's girlfriend, said there was a history of domestic violence between them and in the last few days he threatened to kill her and her unborn child.
Then on Wednesday night something snapped.North Spokane shooting
"He said he was going to come up and he was making threats," Blackmore said.
Blackmore was in the home making dinner with her two friends when Balduff started knocking on the door. The couple lived in a trailer behind the home, expecting their first child together, and had been fighting for several days.
"We were all scared. He said numerous times he was going to kill me and the baby," she said.
Balduff had a large knife with him while he pounded on the door. Blackmore said he wouldn't leave and persisted on trying to get in, eventually scrambling in through the doggie door.
At that point a man who lives in the home pointed a gun at Balduff and asked him to leave.
He wouldn't leave and Blackmore said he came towards her fri9end with a knife, saying 'Kill me.'
That's when Blackmore's friend shot him once in the chest.
By the time police and paramedics arrived Balduff was fading away.
"[He] was just so white and pale color, and then I knew there was something seriously wrong," Blackmore said.
Detectives said that story is the same one they're getting from witnesses. The people in the home at the time are claiming this was a case of self-defense, and no one has been taken into custody for the shooting and it's not anticipated that anyone will be.
At this point police are continuing their investigation into the case and will turn their findings over to prosecutors for their determination if this was a justified shooting.

VIDEO: Highlights from The Red Bull Sound Clash
Not until entering the Roxy a week ago Thursday did I comprehend what a normal kid feels the first time he sees a big-league ballpark. Between the promise of a Roots-versus-Antibalas showdown and the luminescent backdrop, I found my field of dreams.
There was spectacular energy rushing through the club — no doubt the product of history-in-the-making times the fact that nary a paw wasn't clutching some variety of Red Bull. (This was the "Red Bull Sound Clash," after all.) Even before the two bands took opposing stages, the dance floor looked like hot people soup.
Sound Clash host Akrobatik introduced the evening as "the ultimate musical conversation." The format: two bands, four rounds, and a world-renowned home-town DJ — Kon — mediating from the middle.
The Roots emerged for their 15-minute warm-up with hands clapping and Tuba Gooding Jr. spooning horn sauce on the crowd. On their turn, Antibalas showcased their æsthetic aptitude and ability to melt sounds. Round One ripped, with the bands taking turns covering a range of party pleasers that included the themes from The Jeffersons and Cheers. For Round Two, each band got a chance to make their own multi-rhythmic masterstroke from some of their opponents' staple cuts.
In Round Three, they had to play their own songs in styles designated by Kon. (The Roots murdered a swing/gospel/vaudevillian twist on "The Next Movement.") And for Round Four — dubbed "The Wild Card" — Antibalas pulled Philly DJ/spoken word talent Rich Medina out from backstage and the Roots smoked "You Got Me" before summoning Grammy-studded jazz saxophonist Gary Bartz to join them for a spectacular rendition of "Celestial Blues."
In the end — after the outfits had teamed up for a Fela Kuti orgy — Antibalas fans claimed victory and Roots diehards suggested that the Afrobeat-niks should have never stepped. But in a collective moment of sheer cornball bliss, I think everybody realized that the true winners were those of us who broke our backs and sacks dancing, nodding, and ejaculating all through this one-time-only Sound Clash.

Ebel named director of leadership gifts
Posted December 29, 2006; 12:00 a.m.
Liz Ebel, a development office staff member for the past three years, has been promoted to director of leadership gifts.
She will be responsible for guiding the leadership gifts team as it raises funds for Princeton's highest capital priorities and coordinates the work of capital volunteers.
Ebel joined the leadership gifts staff in 2003 and was promoted to senior associate director in 2005, coordinating Princeton's capital fund-raising efforts on the West Coast and in Asia. Since September, she has been serving as acting director of leadership gifts.
"Liz has demonstrated excellent management and administrative abilities," said Michele Minter, director of development. "I am delighted that she has agreed to take on this important role."
Before coming to Princeton, Ebel was a member of the development staff of the Lawrenceville School from 1996 to 2003. She earned her bachelor's degree from George Washington University and currently is pursuing a master's degree in education at the University of Pennsylvania.
Ebel succeeds Mary Baum, who is now associate dean of the faculty.

Barrels of fry grease spilled near Spokane River
SPOKANE, Wash. - A park ranger said two barrels of fry grease were spilled near the Spokane River at the Riverside Park Water Reclamation Facility in Northwest Spokane Tuesday morning.
Our public lands are places most of us use to relax, recreate, or just be closer to nature but officials at Riverside State Park say more and more, people are using the area to dump trash, like the two barrels of grease found spilled just after 8 a.m. Tuesday.
"This isn't right, right here," Riverside State Park Ranger John Tillison said.Fry Grease dumped at Riverside State Park
Tillison said every precaution was taken. The fact that the spill was so close to the Spokane River meant the road needed to be closed for hazmat crews. Upon their arrival it was determined the substance was fry grease, likely dumped there on purpose.
"That is a common thing that will happen we've had it in the past where people have barrels and put another chemical inside of it so we have to take every precaution available and possible for all of the public," he said.
Traffic was blocked on Aubrey L. White Parkway from the facility to the area around Downriver Golf Course as firefighters investigated for about an hour. They left the scene around 9 a.m.
There's no information on where the fry grease came from, but if you have any information about who may be involved call Crime Check at 456-2233.

Waldorf Micro Q
The power of the Q synthesizer is now available in an affordable 2-unit rack module. Sound quality is not compromised, it sounds just as great as the more expensive Q! The main limitation is that there are only 6 knobs; however these knobs provide access to dozens of parameters at the push of a button. The Q's powerful arpeggiator is also on-board. There is no sequencer, but a rack module is usually destined for use with an external sequencer or controller anyway. There are two independent filters with low-pass, band-pass, high-pass, notch and comb filters. The filters are resonant and can self-oscillate too! There's also a Modulation Matrix where you can route your signal through flexible and complex processes to really shape your sounds. There's also a stereo vocoder and ring modulator on-board. A Voice Expansion board can boost polyphony in the Micro Q up to 75 voices!
The Micro Q is not an analog synth, but it can emulate them very well. It is great for punchy analog bass, 303 lines, synth leads, trance pads, swirling effects, analog drums, percussion, beats, and lots more! It's worth a listen! Wonderful preset sounds, a challenge to program...bottom line is affordable, incredible sounds! It has been used by Somatic Responses, RadioBomb, and Hardmakz.
The Micro Q Keyboard is identical to the Micro Q, but packaged in a handy and portable 37 note keyboard. It also adds pedal inputs, pitch/mod wheels, and some front panel numeric buttons.

Editor (167)
- Adie
- Adie is a fast and convenient programming text editor written using the FOX Toolkit. It is also a convenient file viewer, supporting several methods to move from one file to the next. For each visited file, it remembers where you were last looking, and which special places have been bookmarked, so you can quickly return to frequently visited places. Users can optionally visit files with a single click by displaying the File/Directory browser side by side with the text.
- AgeCalc
- Agecalc is a utillity that can be used to calculate dates since birth, what day a person was born, days since last/to next birthday and other data.

1. This is NOT free software. Reference:
'ale' (Another Linux Editor) is a small, fast text editor with very basic features. It is designed to edit or create config files or other text based files. It supports long line lengths (65535 characters), and the number of lines is limited only by the available memory. It has a basic text search function, goto line, and other basic editing functions. It is not intended to be an IDE or to parse regex expressions, but when you need speed and low overhead.
- Alterparagraphs
- Alterparagraphs is an ongoing effort for providing a family of paragraph implementations, each to be used as a replacement for the regular and only paragraph flowable inside the ReportLab package. The idea behind this collection of paragraphs is to provide simple implementations that can be more easily understood and extended than the monolithic paragraph implementation as implemented by ReportLab. Note that many of the paragraph classes in alterparagraphs are not finished in the sense that they are directly ready for production (this is especially true for the XMLParagraph, the development of which has barely started). You must test yourself if they are suitable for your purpose. In any case it should be much easier to tweak them to make them do what you need compared to the standard ReportLab implementation.

How strange would this be to see on Sunday?
How strange would this be to see on Sunday?
i wouldn't care, let them overpay
Oh please let this happen!
We play them, so we'll run to smith's side and throw deep to Davis' side.
Prov 3:6: in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
I'm going to call it now. If we let Sean Smith walk, it's going to bite us in the ass. We simply don't have the resources to replace 2 starting WRs, starting TE, starting LT/RT, 2 starting CBs, and whatever else everyone wants to let walk because how dare they not play for the vet minimum. Smith is a competant CB who has had success against high-end WRs in this league. You don't replace that so easily...
For the right price why not. Davis is by far the superior cb overall throughout his career though. Seems stupid to overpay for any team.
We need to move forward, Smith time is done in MIA.
The whole season, drink to that!

Melt chocolate bits to create spooky bats that perch atop easy cupcakes.
The cupcakes can be made several days ahead and frozen until 2 hours before decorating.
Look for fun Halloween-patterned baking cups at craft stores.
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

Ugh, Pam's back with Roy. That put me in a bad mood.
But that mood was gone as soon as Michael started playing frisbee.
I loved the bat hunt and how Stanley just left work because of it. Angela had a funny reaction. "Poop is raining from the ceiling! Poop!" The vampire subplot was excellent. It was great seeing Dwight ask Creed to form a vampire-hunting alliance with him. Yes, Joss Whedon, we know you created Buffy. Do you have to keep reminding us?
Michael's speech was good, especially how he started throwing candy to the class. Plus he finished it off nicely. "He doesn't know anything and neither do you. So suck on that!"
Was anyone else disappointed that Jim didn't show up at the art show?

Everywhere I look...on this site and in the press...everyone wants to nickname him. Can't he just be Ryan Tannehill?
Football doesn't always have to be cute.
i like "the surgeon" i think it sounds classic and has such a sweet duality. just my .02
raekwon - marvin
That's a good question Mattatic!
None of these nicknames will carry over anyways, all of them have been lame and the only one that sounds good is his actual name.
How about Tanne "Chill" as in Cool under pressure. Maybe he can get in on some commercials with Ice Cube and Coors.
---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------
I also like Tanne "Thrill". Sounds like a Boomer nickname.
Ive been a fan of Tan the Man or Tan Marino.
Its just people having fun and being excited about finally finding a QB, in their own way. No harm done.
*******The NFL is a Coaches League*******
So when they are cuddling with their Ryan Tannehill dolls they have a cute nickname to call it...

There are 20-25 children with diabetes in Fiji at any particular time.

Life for a Child has assisted with extra funds for monitoring, as well as support for camps, a visiting diabetes educator, and education materials. Expert advice has also been provided on clinical issues.
It is very pleasing that the Government now provides almost all services and so LFAC financial support is now minimal.


text: Here's to a speedy recovery! I'd like to add one more thing. Years ago, my vet recommended doing annual bloodwork once they hit that "senior" status (7 yrs). Recently a friend's 11 yo became lethargic, just off... I asked him when the last time was he had bloodwork and he'd never had any done. He goes to the same clinic as I do but has been seeing a different vet and they never mentioned it when they've done shots etc. He had bloodwork the next day and his liver enzymes are extremely high. They thought inflammation, gave antibiotics and a supplement, and when he went back for follow up bloodwork (which no one mentioned but me again..), they were even higher. He saw my vet who recommended an ultrasound, and it was ugly. Now there is nothing that can be done. So do that preventative screening and know what your baselines are. I think the blood panel w/ T4 runs ~$150 total w/ the draw.

The colon, or large intestine, is a muscular tube that begins at the end of the small intestine and runs to the rectum. The colon absorbs water from liquid stool that is delivered to it from the small intestine.
Diverticula are out-pouchings of the wall of the colon. They are thought to be the result of a diet low in fiber. By the age of 60, over half of all Americans have colonic diverticula.
In most cases, diverticula go unnoticed. However, in a small percentage of patients, diverticula can cause problems. The most common problem is diverticulitis, which occurs when a small, hard piece of stool is trapped in the opening of the diverticula. This leads to inflammation and death of the segment of colon containing the diverticula.
Diverticula can also bleed and cause significant blood loss from the gastrointestinal tract. Vessels overlying a diverticula are stretched until they break, causing bleeding into the colon. Blood is usually passed in the stool.
Treatment of diverticulitis and diverticular bleeding involves surgical removal of the segment of colon containing the diverticula. While the patient is deep alseep and pain free (general anesthesia), an incision is made in the midline of the abdomen.
After the diseased area is removed, the healthy ends of the colon are sewn back together. Occasionally, especially in cases of diverticulitis, where there is significant inflammation, a colostomy is performed. After the inflammation has resided, the colostomy is removed and the healthy ends of the colon are sewn back together.

Tips for Watching Wildlife: Keeping the "Wild" in the Experience
Posted On June 21, 2012 by Catherine Fox
One of my happiest family memories comes from a trip when my son was six years old. We arrived at a popular bay on the big island of Hawaii known for its plentiful green sea turtles. I'll never forget the look on his small face when he popped up out of the water, pulled his mask off, and said in astonishment, "Mom! A turtle just swam along right next to me!"
Being a conscientious little dude, he got a bit worried, because signs on the beach warned visitors to keep their distance from the sea turtles, listed as "threatened" under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
We tried our best, but several glided right up to peer at us when we hovered motionless in the water. We'll always cherish the rare thrill of being so close to wild things in the ocean. But did we do the right thing?
When you're viewing wildlife – and wildlife is viewing you – following specific guidelines will ensure that you have a terrific experience. Continue reading »

The good old days inspire a delicious new gelatin salad flavored with today's popular yogurt.
Pour gelatin onto a spoon as you pour it over an already-set layer. This will help keep the set layer from breaking up.
For a smaller version of this recipe, use 3-ounce boxes of gelatin and 1/3 cup vanilla yogurt for each yogurt layer; reduce the water by half. Layer in an 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish.
You can make this salad a day ahead of time. Just cover with plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge.

JACKSON – The Senate took only minutes Wednesday to pass legislation that could be used to expand Medicaid later in the session.
The Republican leadership of the House had tried to prevent any bill containing the code section that could be amended to expand Medicaid from coming to the floor of that chamber.
The legislation that passed the Senate on Wednesday without a dissenting vote would re-authorize the federal-state program that provides health care to more than 600,000 elderly, disabled, poor pregnant women and poor children.
But the legislation is written in such a way that it could be amended to allow the state to opt into the Medicaid expansion that is part of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Rep. Steve Holland, D-Plantersville, praised the leadership of the Senate for keeping the language in the bill.
"They had the wisdom and insight to include the code section so when the bill comes here to the marketplace of ideas we can discuss the issue. That is all we have asked," Holland said.
Under the federal law, Medicaid can be expanded to cover people earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level or about $15,000 per year.
Many Republican leaders have said Mississippi cannot afford to participate in the expansion because by 2020 the state will have to pay 10 percent of the costs. For the first two years, the federal government pays all the costs of the expansion and then it starts stepping down to 90 percent by 2020.
Many Democrats say the state cannot afford to reject the huge infusion of federal funds to provide coverage to a group of people who currently do not have insurance – primarily the working poor. It is estimated that the expansion would cover an additional 300,000 Mississippians.
In a statement, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves, who presides over the Senate, said, "I'm proud of the Senate today for reauthorizing the agency without expanding Medicaid. The rules and regulations from Washington are not complete, and Mississippi taxpayers cannot afford Medicaid expansion under Obamacare."

so I've been on a Transformers kick lately and have made a couple of purchases within the last 2 weeks.
Combiners Series Bombshock with Comboticons - love the new redesigned look of the combiner robot... it's no Bruticus but it's still way cool. Bombshock is a nice addition as well.
Scout Class Breacher and Oil Pan - again nice looking vehicles but Breacher is amazing as both a APC and a Robot. Oil Pan is okay is robo form but better in vehicle mode.
Generations Optimus Prime - not as hard to transform as Bumblebee was but a nice Prime to add to the Prime Shine. I'm thinking of investing in another so that I can display both in Vehicle mode as well as Robot Mode.
and I recently purchased a series of WST combiners... I got Devastator, Defensor, Bruticus, Menasor (combination of the stunticons and the technobots), Six-Liner, Six-Wing, Superion, Landcross, Six-Builder and Lion Kaser. they look really neat and they transform the same way as the orignal G1 versions did. they are a little larger then the WST scale but about 2 sizes smaller then the G1 versions. still they are a nice addition to the ever growing Transformers collection.

Family: Scombridae, Mackerels view all from this family
Description The Northern bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) is a species of tuna in the Scombridae family. It is variously known as the Atlantic bluefin tuna, giant bluefin tuna (for individuals exceeding 150 kilograms or around 330 pounds) and formerly as the tunny. Atlantic bluefin are native to both the western and eastern Atlantic Ocean, as well as the Mediterranean Sea. Atlantic bluefin have become extinct in the Black Sea and Caspian Sea. The Atlantic bluefin tuna is a close relative of the other two bluefin tuna species—the Pacific bluefin tuna and the southern bluefin tuna.
Atlantic bluefin tuna are capable of reaching well over 450 kilograms (990 lb) in weight, and rival the black marlin and blue marlin as the largest Perciformes. Throughout recorded history, the Atlantic bluefin tuna has been highly prized as a food fish. Bluefin have been a valuable commercial catch from the time of the ancient Greeks and Phoenicians to the modern era. Besides their commercial value as food, their great size and the speed and power they display as apex predators has attracted the admiration and respect of both ancient and modern fishermen, as well as writers, sport anglers and scientists.
Dimensions Up to 10' (3 m); 1,496 lbs (678.6 kg).
Habitat Open ocean.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Florida, Texas, California, Northwest, Eastern Canada, Western Canada, Alaska.

She does have lovely soft knees and wonderful flow, yet at the same time, I found her LP at Nationals a bit boring. I think she needs to add a little more spark and attack to her skating. She's very promising, I just don't see her being ready for Sochi or Worlds next year.

This discussion was buried in another thread, I thought it deserved a thread of it's own.
Is it expectations, (the dog has found the other birds long and therefore expects the bird to be long)?
Or is it because the dog has forgotten the shorter bird?
More importantly, What is the best way to improve a dog's success at a trial? Secondary selection or Ideal selection?
With secondary selection, the handler is having the dog pick up shortest of the remaining birds second. A close corollary is that in training you don't have a dog run past a short station that it has not yet retrieved. Creating an expectation for the dog to pick up the shortest bird before the longer bird even if the longer bird is more attractive.
In contrast, with Ideal selection as I understand it, one is training the dog to be comfortable running by a short bird and picking up the attractive long bird and then coming back and picking up the short bird:

By Tiernan Ray
Evercore Partners's Mark McKechnie today reiterates an Overweight rating on shares of motion sensor maker InvenSense (INVN), a supplier to Apple (AAPL), following a report this morning by Israeli paper Calcalist stating that Apple is interested in buying Israeli sensor maker PrimeSense, citing multiple unnamed sources.
McKechnie has no further information on a potential bid, but he writes that his review of PrimeSense's materials suggests there is no competitive overlap between the two companies:
PrimeSense's technology looks more applicable to gaming and perhaps even "smart TV" controllers. The solution includes several pieces: 1) an infrared light source/camera, 2) a CMOS sensor which, combined with an SOC and 3) advanced software, enables 3D sensing of moving objects such as people in a room, as is used in the Xbox Kinect. This is different from INVN which provides MEMS- based sensor modules and software to sense advanced motion, pressure, altitude and other physical characteristics of discrete devices. The company's new Cabri chip appears to be a "shrink" of the console solution to provide similar functionality to notebooks and tablets. PrimeSense indicates over 20M users deployed to date, including the Xbox Kinect but other press indicates content in the Nexus 10 tablets. At this point, we see no overlap to INVN.
Although coverage of Apple is the beat of his colleague, Rob Cihra, McKechnie opines that "Apple could be interested to add "Kinect-like" user interface capabilities for the speculated iTV solution and/or notebooks and tablets."
InvenSense shares today are down 28 cents, or 1.7%, at $15.93.
Apple shares are up $2.41, or 0.6%, at $429.85.

|Research Interests
My principal research objective is to create innovative solutions that address the needs of technologically underserved communities. Primarily I work with resource-constrained developing communities where the accessible infrastructure and indigenous skills are very different from the norms prevalent in the technologically developed world. I have also increasingly invested time in addressing the needs of "differently-abled" communities with a focus on educational tools for the visually impaired and for the deaf. An important aspect of my work is to focus my efforts on innovative technology that empowers these underserved communities in a manner that is culturally relevant and locally sustainable. My work in this area has helped to pioneer the fast growing field of ICTD (Information and Communication Technologies for Development) and my TechBridgeWorld research group, which now spans both the Pittsburgh and Doha campuses, is growing in recognition for our contributions to this field.
A second research area where I strive to advance the state-of-the-art is autonomous team coordination in dynamic and uncertain environments. My doctoral work produced the conceptual framework and experimental verification that underlies the "TraderBots" software module that allows market-based coordination of a team under dynamic conditions. Market-based coordination solves the task-allocation problem by creating a virtual economy where the robots are traders, tasks and resources are traded commodities, and allocations are determined via auctions. I have extended this work in several ways and am currently exploring three primary topics in this area: extending market-based techniques to enable allocation of tightly-coordinated tasks, coordinating human-robot teams, and employing mathematical programming techniques to allow optimal coordination of smaller teams.
In both of my core research areas, my focus is on fieldable systems. As a faculty member of the Field Robotics Center, I am interested in technology solutions that are informed by the needs and input of real-world users, and are robust to the dynamic and uncertain realities of fieldwork. Through all of my work I seek to enhance the state of the art in field robotics by contributing to the knowledge and literature on fielding intelligent autonomous systems in the context of teamwork and serving the needs of developing communities. I also strive to empower, educate, and inspire the future leaders in these research areas through a variety of educational programs and mentoring activities.

in Northern Maine where i live we dont have many turkeys, not like southern maine that has a good population anyway,
I found some turkeys about 1 hr south of me that im gonna take my daughter to hunt next weekend on the youth hunt.. I know there is one gobbler 1 small jake and 5 hens as i have seen them all together and so has the landowner.. I know where they are roosting and know which direction they are headed after they hit the ground they will be headed right toward us in the general direction anyways.... My question is since im a firm beliver in decoys with this being mainly farmland and open pasture that im hunting what decoy combination should i use? i have a full strut, a jake , 4 feeding hens and 2 submissive hens but am not sure what combination may work the best.. any ideas?
he stays tight with his hens this much i have seen I havent tried calling to him yet so am not sure what response if any i will get from him
any ideas?

Team USA, after trailing early in the four-day tourney, has staged a remarkable comeback against Team Europe. And if Mike "The Fireball" Dechaine, of Providence, can beat Holland's Nick Van Den Berg, he'll tie the score at 10 matches a piece and force a one-match playoff.
That's a big "if," though.
Dechaine, 25, entered the tournament unprepared for team play, unprepared for the pressure, and unprepared for the drunken, boisterous crowd that's taken to calling the short American with the round face "Hobbit."
He's already lost a singles match by a wide margin and dropped one of his two doubles matches. And tonight, after a particularly poor shot in the early going — the eight ball rattling out of the corner pocket — the camera fixes on a dazed player, shaking his head and exhaling nervously.
This, says Jim Wych, commentator for Sky Sports, "is a picture of a man suffering."
The defeat — the match ends with Van Den Berg leaping on the table and pumping his fist — is a tough one for American pool. But it inspires a bit of schadenfraude among some of the nation's top players and officials.
If the Dechaine of this moment is a shaken, even sympathetic character, he's regarded by many on the tour as a cocky, condescending egotist — perhaps the most hated man in the game.
It's an animosity that gets to Dechaine from time to time. But for the most part, he is dismissive of what he calls the "haters" — they only talk that way about him, he says, because "I'm superior in the game to them."
Indeed, if the Mosconi Cup meltdown might have inspired humility for another player in his position, it has done nothing of the sort for Dechaine.
Yes, he talks of getting serious about pool this year, practicing more, reading about a sport that has come so naturally to him. For Dechaine, though, it's not about redemption. It's about taking what is rightfully his.
Currently ranked #2 in the nation, he says it's just a matter of time before he becomes #1. And he may be right.
But first, the Fireball has to tame his flame.
Dechaine grew up in Waterville, Maine, a small city in the south-central section of the state.
Once a humming industrial center, it lost most of its factories at the end of the last century and the beginning of this one. The old Scott Paper plant closed in 1997. And five years later, the city's most prominent firm — Hathaway shirts, which once employed Dechaine's mother — shuttered, too.
Dechaine's father Fred, a long-time supervisor in the city's public works department, is a talented pool player in his own right. And he began taking Mike, whose asthma limited his athletic exploits, to TJ's Classic Billiards at age 11.
Dechaine, who remembers standing on a milk crate to reach the table, had an extraordinary gift for the sport. But he was also intensely competitive. "I used to have a little temper," he recalls. "I hated to lose."

Use of agent-based modelling to predict benefits of cleaner fish in controlling sea lice infestations on farmed Atlantic salmon M.L. Groner, R.Cox, G.Gettinby and C.W. Revie
Sea lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, are ectoparasites of farmed and wild salmonids. Infestations can result in significant morbidity and mortality of hosts in addition to being costly to control. Integrated PEST management programmes have been developed to manage infestations, and in some salmon farming areas, these programmes include the use of wrasse. To explore at what densities wrasse should be stocked in order to meet specific control targets, an individual-based model was built to simulate sea lice infestation patterns on a representative salmonid host. It was found that the wrasse can effectively control sea lice, and the densities of wrasse needed for effective control depend upon the source of the infestation and the targeted level of control.» Mehr lesen
Simulating Construction Bidding Using Agent-Based Modeling Sadegh Asgari, Ali Shafaat
Competitive bidding is the main mechanism for allocation of construction projects and consequently price determination of the construction services in the A/E/C industry. While different aspects of construction bidding have been studied in the literature, there is still a need for developing a comprehensive model that captures the complex dynamics of bidding environment by considering interactions among its components, most importantly construction contractors. This paper discusses the advantages of agent-based modeling in simulating the construction bidding process over the previously applied methodologies.» Mehr lesen
Major City Evacuation Planning Using Simulation Modeling A, Kirby, J.E. Dietz, E. Matson, J. Pekny, C. Wojtalewicz and J. Pekny
Disaster, whether manmade or natural, can have a catastrophic impact on a populated area. Sometimes, the disaster is so devastating that it requires a large-scale evacuation. As a result, evacuation plans have become a necessity. One such evacuation plan is the regional hub reception center (RHRC), which will help evacuate the careless population when an evacuation is needed. Using AnyLogic as a simulation modeling software, an RHRC model was developed to test the efficiency of the proposed plan.» Mehr lesen

Agent-based population model used to identify and evaluate dog population management strategies L. Kisiel, A. Jones-Bitton, A.L. Greer; Department of Population Medicine, Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON Canada; CEFUTREMA
Developing countries are faced with finding novel and humane ways to permanently reduce and control their dog population. Agent-based models developed to describe dog populations represent a unique, platform for using computer based simulation to identify control strategies with the greatest potential for success, aid in the design of more effective control measures, and provide a means to evaluate the success of different interventions.» Mehr lesen
A Plant-Level, Spatial, Bioeconomic Model Of Plant Disease Diffusion And Control: Grapevine Leafroll Disease Shady S. Atallah, Miguel I. Gómez, Jon M. Conrad, and Jan P. Nyrop, University of New Hampshire
Grapevine leafroll disease threatens the economic sustainability of the grape and wine industry in the United States and around the world. This viral disease reduces yield, delays fruit ripening, and affects wine quality. Although there is new information on the disease spatial-dynamic diffusion, little is known about profit-maximizing control strategies. Using cellular automata, we model the disease spatial-dynamic diffusion for individual plants in a vineyard, evaluate nonspatial and spatial control strategies, and rank them based on vineyard expected net present values.» Mehr lesen
A heuristic approach taking operators' fatigue into account for the dynamic assignment of workforce to reduce the mean flowtime A. Ferjani, A. Ammar, H. Pierreval, A. Trabelsi, Clermont University
In order to cope with the frequent unpredictable changes that may occur in manufacturing systems, and to optimize given performance criteria, the assignment of workers can be decided online in a dynamic manner, whenever the worker is released. Several studies, in the ergonomics literature, have shown that individuals' performances decrease because of their fatigue in work. In manufacturing context, the workers' fatigue impacts the task durations. Therefore, we propose to solve the online workers assignment problem through a heuristic, which takes this workers' fatigue into consideration, so as to minimize the mean flowtime of jobs.» Mehr lesen
The Effect of Cellular Interactions on Cancer Cell Growth Using Evolutionary Game Theory Mihir Paithane, Student, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Center at Mills E. Godwin High School
In this experiment, game theory was used to assess the interactions between three cell phenotypes usually found in cancer. The three defined cells were autonomous growth cells, invasive and motile malignant cells, and cells that performed anaerobic glycolysis. Based on preset variables in the payoff matrix, analytical equations were deduced that allowed for the analysis of the proportion of autonomous growth and malignant cells in a tumor. AnyLogic was also used to simulate the interactions between cancerous and normal cells.» Mehr lesen

A perfect sunny day to see some of the sights in this area.
CANNON BEACH area: This is definitely a must-see place!!
--Ecola Point: Great views of Tillamook Rock Lighthouse and Cannon Beach.
--Indian Beach: Beautiful drive through the forest on a very narrow, winding road to reach the bluff over the beach. The bluff was a great place to watch all the surfers and the waves breaking on the rocks.
Cannon Beach: World's third largest monolith.
At low tide, you can walk right up to it as well as explore the tide pools. Quite a sight!
Warren House Pub for dinner. The house was built in 1912; the front door has a porthole from the famous ship wreck, Peter Iredale. Interesting history as well as good food.
