McArdle syndrome is the inability to break down glycogen. Glycogen is an important source of energy that is stored in all tissues, but especially in the muscles and liver.
Glycogen storage disease type V (GSDV); Myophosphorylase deficiency; Muscle glycogen phosphorylase deficiency; PYGM deficiency
McArdle syndrome is caused by a defect in a gene that makes an enzyme called glycogen phosphorylase. As a result, the body cannot break down glycogen in the muscles.
The disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. This means that you must get a copy of the nonworking gene from both parents. A person who gets a nonworking gene from only one parent usually does not develop this syndrome. A family history of McArdle syndrome increases the risk.
Symptoms usually start during early childhood. However, it may be difficult to separate these symptoms from those of normal childhood, and diagnosis may not occur until a person's 20s or 30s.
The following tests may be performed:
There is no specific treatment, but you can manage the symptoms by improving exercise tolerance and controlling physical activity. Avoid excessive or intense exercise.
Dietary management should include having a supply of glucose (candy, for example) on hand if you need to replace energy.
Avoid general anesthesia.
For additional information and resources, visit the Association for Glycogen Storage Disease at www.agsdus.org.
People with McArdle syndrome can live a normal life by managing their physical activity.
Exercise may produce muscle pain, or even a breakdown of skeletal muscle (
Contact your health care provider if you have repeated episodes of sore or cramped muscles after exercise, especially if you also have burgundy or pink urine.
Consider genetic counseling if you have a family history of McArdle disease.

Compare great SAAB Panel Beating prices in Harringay with Who Can Fix My Car.
Mike carried out a full assessment and recovery. Fault with engine mount and timing belt repaired and maintenance on other reported faults carried out. I highly recommend.
I want to thank Michael Morrison, the owner for all the help offered me and for the great job done! He was the only one who accepted the job in the website whocanfixmycar.com , and he fixed my car in the same day. He didn't take advantage that everyone. and he didn't charge me on excess. I only paid the labour job) and a very low rate for work.I strongly recomend SPHYNX VEHICLE REPAIRS to all vehicle owners who need to fix their car, I found SVR from Who Can Fix My Car site. Well done everyone especially Michael Morrison! Thank you very much! You are the best!
Friendly, helpful and honest service. Thoroughly recommended.
10 out of 10, Mike is a top guy, very honest, reliable and very knowledgeable! Would I use him again? I already have!. Would I recommend him?, I already have!
I was so impressed by the garage got there with so much in my head thinking it was goin to cost me a lot,but the mechanic(mike) calm me down done the diagnostic and he told me it's an easy fix then within 2 days the car was up and running. One thing I like about this garage is even though the car is fixed they still call me back to go and check it again. Mike is the best person dealin with these semiauto, thank u so much mike God bless you
Awesome garage! Good and fast service and really nice & friendly guys. Really reasonable pricing and honest work, highly recommended. Thanks Al and Patrick!
very professional and polite
excellent job
Awesome garage! Really good service and really nice bunch of guys, Happy to help and completely honest. Really reasonable quote but didn't skimp on the job. Great mechanics. Highly recommended. Cheers Al!
I had a great experience at Autowerke. They got back to me very fast with a great quote and when I arrived they had a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. They're a bit of a community hub as well so even local people and regular customers seem to pop in for an occasional chat. The work was done quickly and to a great standard. I will return there should I need any further work.
They were great :)
If it would be possible I would give zero star for this garage. Outrageous service, I am not sure if I can call that "service". The owner of this garage is extremely rude, phlegmatic and DISRESPECTFUL! And according to my opinion he is probably racist towards Eastern-European people! First, we discussed the time and the date when for a 1 and half hour work to fix my car. But when I arrived there at the first time (in the arranged time), they did not fix my car because they said I am late. I am just saying we were communicating via this website in chat form, so I have everything in written form. I can prove everything. I was not late. I thought I can give them a second chance (because of their really good price), so we discussed the time and date again via this website, and I went there again in the arranged time, but the same thing happened, but this time the owner of the garage was even yelling to me! Their price offer was so good (£120 cheaper from any other offer), thus I gave them a third chance. But this time I called them before I go there (since I did not want to waste my time and fuel again), they confirmed I can go immediately and they will fix my car (they said it will take 1 and a half hour), but when I arriced there they said I was late again. I arrived there at 10AM and they said I need to leave my car there until 2PM. I told them I work with my car, the only reason I came here on this day in this time because they confirmed I can come here now for 90 minutes work. I told them again, I work with my car, then I got the usual answer from the owner of the garage: "not my problem". Then I left them without any word. They wasted my time and fuel, 3 times and my car is still not fixed! The owner has zero customer service skills, zero flexibility towards customers (his answer to everything: "not my problem, is it?" or "not my business, is it?"). I would never recommend this garage to anyone. Seriously anyone who reads this: AVOID THIS GARAGE!
I don't usually use sites like these to get my car repaired, but i was desperate, so i ended up using this site. Out of all of quotes i got, these guy's came out by FAR the cheapest, at least £100 cheaper than everybody. I thought at first there was a catch, like one of the previous garage's i called on here, they quoted £220 for just the labour and not the parts. But NO these guy's quoted me on exactly how much it would cost ! Quick service, no messing around. They even fitted in some missing clips on my front bumper which was nice of them. And also to top that i asked them how much it would cost to replace my back light bulb and they did that for free too ! Great, quick, reliable service. Will definitely be seeing these guy's again if something (Touch wood nothing) goes wrong ! Daniel.
Paul was very helpful even to the point of picking up my car and returning it. They did a great job. In a good time. I'm just sorry my insurance company were slow on paying up their end. Hopefully now resolved. I will be sending my mums car to him soon. Happy to recommend them to others. AK N14
No I would not recommend this garage. We paid for the vehicle delivered to your garage on the 23/03/16 for a Cam Belt change, we also had the Clutch replaced and Water Pump whilst you had the vehicle, with the understanding that we needed the vehicle back in time for a contract job we was doing. We picked the vehicle up and paid £1050.00 in which we paid when the invoice should have been for £950.00 because we supplied the cam belt kit and drive belt. We paid again for the vehicle to be returned to your garage because the battery went flat and didn't start on the 30/03/16 and then we had to hire a splitter van to replace ours, for 3 days at a rate of £130.00per day. We paid to have the vehicle to be picked up after you telling me that it was the battery at fault, so we agreed to offset the over payment for a new battery. We used the vehicle on 02/04/16 and that evening the vehicle lost lighting it went dim first and then all the warning lights started to come on. We lost the vehicle hire £100.00 for that day of the 02/04/16, and had subcontract hire at a rate of £150.00 for the 03/04/16 for not having a vehicle to for fill our contract. We did not return the vehicle, because of no confidence. We had the vehicle tested, and we was told that the Alternator was faulty so I replaced it myself after taking a photo of the of its position then still getting the right reading from the new Alternator the vehicle was taken to an Auto Electric Technician in which we found that your garage had put the alternator belt on incorrect so it was turning the wrong direction, so we didn't need a battery or an alternator because the vehicle never had a starting or charging problem before it went to you plus the damage to be repaired at a cost £150.00 This is a breakdown of our invoice to you of our losses.
Did not use the garage
Nobody contacted me the garage did not even call me and this is two attempts to use a service from this site with no one getting back to arrange an appointment had to use Kwikfit to get my car done
Very good service
its very good i got good service
Job was quick, unbeatable prices. But, my dash board computer was not reset. Because of that I'll give 4 of 5.Apart from that great work, great price.
A very speedy service and great care. Had my car back within 24hrs looking brand new. Thanks to vas I was able to leave my car with him knowing it was in good hands he explained to me what was going to happen which put my mind at rest. Thanks to vas and his team I drove away one happy Lady. Would highly recommend to friends , family and anyone one reading these reviews you won't be disappointed. I definitely will be them again.
they were very friendly picked up the car from me and driopped it off. They also did additional mechanical work aswell as bodyshop work for a reduced price. Would 100% recommend and use again. really good experience with them. i had unfortunately crashed in to another vehicle, imperial vehicle body repairs took both cars and delivered a 5 star job.
they were very friendly picked up the car from me and driopped it off. They also did additional mechanical work aswell as bodyshop work for a reduced price. Would 100% recommend and use again. really good experience with them.
Excellent advice, service and care provided by professionals who have pride in the work that they do. Vas was communicative responsive and his attention to detail in the repair is to be admired. I defiantly recommend this garage and won't hesitate to use their services in the future.
A really speedy service: car was picked up in the evening and finished the next day. Great job done, no issues at all. Vas was easily contactable and kept me up to date throughout the whole process. Highly recommended.
Experienced garage who dealt with a number of separate issues very well, including ordering in specialist parts. Returning to find the car washed and vacuumed was a nice touch. 8 stars rather than 10 purely for the fact that I was informed they would need to keep the car overnight and it was only when I put my foot down that the job was finished on the day. Normally I'd accept that but I had dropped the car off at 7am so clearly had hoped to be first in the queue!
Very good on the whole, the mechanic was able to fix the problem within half an hour. Branko very helpful and honest. Will definitely go again. They are a little pricey compared to the other estimates I received but you are guaranteed a very top service.
They were great, really nice people, very quick, would use again.
Very happy with service, done a decent job, would use again.
Pleased with the work done, would use again.

So now he regrets it? Sure he does...
WH: Obama regrets vote against raising debt limit
Associated Press Associated Press
5 mins ago
.WASHINGTON The White House says President Barack Obama regrets his vote as a senator in 2006 against raising the debt limit.
A fight over raising the debt limit is looming, and the White House is trying to explain away the apparent contradiction between Obama's previous opposition, and his position now that it must be increased.
Press Secretary Jay Carney said Monday that Obama believes his vote was a mistake. He said Obama now realizes that the debt ceiling is too important to be trifled with.
Republicans are threatening to withhold their votes to raise the ceiling unless Obama agrees to major spending reductions.
A failure to raise the debt limit would mean the government would not be able to make debt payments, leading to an unprecedented default on the national debt.

60 Moments That Gave Me The Chills During Seattle's First Day Of Marriage Equality
Relive one of the most emotionally exhausting days of my life, when 138 couples got married in downtown Seattle on the first day gay marriage was officially legal.
1. The first time I got chills was when I got to City Hall and saw these women showing off their homemade "23" bouquets for 23 years together.
2. Then when these guys shared this moment while they were waiting in line to get married.
3. When these two guys wouldn't stop smiling at each other.
4. And when their friends and families wouldn't stop smiling either.
5. I also got chills when I saw this family watching their brother/uncle get married.
6. When this kid was jumping up and down waiting in line because he was so excited for his moms.
7. When this woman was finally able to kiss her bride.
8. And the moment after that.
9. And the moment after that.
10. Really, one of the most emotional moments was the hug after the first kiss.
11. I also got chills when these two guys got married.
12. And the one in blue started to break down.
13. I got chills when these guys and their huge posse walked together to the altar.
14. When this guy started to break down.
15. When they kissed.
16. And when everyone in their wedding party started going crazy.
17. I got chills when this couple started hugging in line.
18. I got mega chills when he closed his eyes.
19. And I nearly died when they both broke down.
20. I got chills when these guys exchanged rings.
21. When they kissed.
22. And the moment just after that when they were staring at each other.
23. I got chills after this wedding.
24. And when this couple was telling the officiant that the one on the right had already taken the other's last name.
25. And when this guy (who is in the Navy and so is his spouse) told someone it was a "really really big year" for him and his spouse.
26. I got chills whenever anyone would meet up with their wedding party outside City Hall.
Most couples had a wedding party with them and seeing them all reunite before their ceremony was pretty intense.
27. Whenever the couples would walk hand in hand towards the altar.
28. Whenever a couple would fix their spouse up in line.
29. And whenever a couple would just stare into each other's eyes.
30. I got chills anytime a couple would walk into the crowd.
31. For example, this couple.
32. And this couple.
33. I got chills when I saw this sign.
34. When I saw this girl handing out flowers on her crutches.
35. And when this little kid was handing out flowers too.
36. I got chills from the crowd outside cheering for the couples.
There was also constant honking from cars going by cheering on the couples.
37. Whenever the couples would hug really tight.
38. And when this lady smiled.
39. I got chills when this police officer quietly snuck in for a minute to see his friend and colleague get married.
The guy on the right is a police officer.
40. When couples would walk away together after getting married.
41. When these ladies, who have been together for 36 years, came into the crowd.
42. But I especially got chills when she showed me her shoes.
43. I got chills when this family came into the crowd with their new baby.
44. And when they walked away together smiling as an "official" family.
45. I got chills whenever someone would raise their hand triumphantly.
46. When couples who just got married would watch other couples who just got married walk into the crowd.
47. When it got dark and the couples were lit up by spotlight.
48. And when the couples would take in the confetti.
49. Oh yeah, I also got literal chills when these dudes walked down into the crowd in shorts (it was COLD).
50. I got chills when I saw the sign for the reception "for all."
51. And when I went into the reception and I saw this table full of candy.
I love candy.
52. I got chills when they played "At Last," which was the first dance.
53. Serious chills during this.
54. And tears. Lots of tears.
55. I got chills when all of the couples started REALLY dancing.
56. When this family was dancing.
57. And when this couple was watching the dancing.
58. I got chills when all of the couples were holding each other listening to speeches from the governor.
59. And when everyone toasted her and one another.
60. By the end I was basically dead. But the last time I got chills was when these two women shared a moment before leaving the reception.
It was a completely surreal, awesome day.
All photos by me.
If you liked these photos, then you'll definitely like these:
- The Trump administration deleted a State Department post promoting Trump's Mar-a-lago club after it drew a wave of criticism online.
- If no court steps in, Arkansas is poised to become the first state in more than 15 years to execute two people in one night.

Amazing! Dogs can jump from our vehicles and in a split second take in their surroundings or distinguish if anything is important in their world.

Video: Bryant, Messi upstaged by ice cream
By Rob Mahoney Kobe Bryant's obsessively competitive nature has become a central part of his public image, so much so that Turkish Airlines highlighted Bryant's one-upmanship in its latest commercial. Opposite Bryant is soccer star Lionel Messi -- an apt foil for the attentions of a young boy who wanders into the first-class cabin, thereby starting up an arms race of parlor tricks between the two gamesmen. Unfortunately, fancy playing-card architecture and intricate, balloon-constructed saber-toothed tigers hold no sway in the mind of a child next to two plain scoops of vanilla and strawberry ice cream. Sheesh. Kids these days need to get their priorities straight ... or at least hold out for some premium toppings.

Valle Reale possesses all of the natural elements conducive to the production of great wine. There is an abundance of water, proximity to the sea and the benefits of a maritime climate, ample sunshine and mineral rich soils.
The Pizzolo family together with Leonardo Valenti have striven to produce a model of central Italian wine: strength, exuberance, vitality, Mediterranean color, elegance, balance and depth. They are working exclusively with the Montepulciano varietal and seek to highlight the grape's intrinsic qualities in both the young, vibrant base wine as well as the cru San Calisto which they hope will offer critics and consumers alike a new benchmark for Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. View all Valle Reale Wines
About Other ItalianView a map of Other Italian wineries Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Umbria
LombardyHome of the fashion capital of Milan, Lombardy is not quite Italy's capital of wine. It is, however, home to a few wines worth noting. Most vineyards are far north, far south or far east. First, in the south, the sparkling wine Franciacorta – this sparkling wine is made in the methode champagnoise and the better wineries produce wine that can hold it's own in a quality bubbly line up. Lugana, a pleasant, white wine made from Trebbiano, comes from Lombardy as well. Lean reds from the Nebbiolo grape are made further up in the Valtelliana region, near the Alps.
Emilia-RomagnaThe region of Emilia-Romagna is better known for its food rather than wine. Most of the wine coming from this region is the red, slightly-fizzy Lambrusco. It's high in acid and best drunk young. The white coming out of the region is mostly Albana di Romagna. Made from the albana grape, it's typically dry and pleasant, although not found often.
UmbriaTalk about being in the center of things… the land-locked region of Umbria is smack dab in the middle of the country. The most familiar white wine of the region is Orvieto, named for the medieval Etruscan town. It's a Trebbiano-based wine with good fruit flavors and high acid. Originally a sweet wine, most Orvietos are now dry. Red wine from Umbria includes Torgiano and Montefalco - Torgiano made from the grapes of Chianti, while Montefalco uses the native sagrantino grape, making big and bold reds.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

By The Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. — Federal investigators say a plane crash in Mississippi that killed three members of a Georgia family in 2012 came during a severe thunderstorm.
The July 8, 2012, crash near New Site in north Mississippi killed James Bartley Jr.; his wife, Terry Bartley; and their youngest daughter, Caroline Bartley. Barley had a podiatry practice in Columbus, Ga.
The family was flying from their vacation home in the North Carolina mountains to the University of Mississippi, where Caroline Bartley was a student.
The National Transportation Safety Board released a factual report on the accident this past week. The report offers no conclusion on the cause of the crash of the single-engine Piper Cherokee Lance.
The NTSB said severe thunderstorms were located in the flight path filed by Bartley. The NTSB said Bartley acknowledged the weather buildup in communication with air traffic controllers in Memphis, Tenn., and told controllers he was planning to deviate from his original course to find a way around the storm.
The NTSB said weather information from surrounding airports and the National Weather Service indicated significant thunderstorm activity in the area in close proximity to the plane's flight path. The report states the plane was not equipped with its own weather radar system but had a receiver for XM WX Satellite Weather, a real-time, high resolution weather service used by pilots of small to medium-sized aircraft.
"According to an eyewitness, the airplane was observed entering a cloud. He then heard the engine 'revving,' 'a loud pop' that was not associated with any thunder, and then saw pieces of the airplane coming out of the cloud. He further reported that there was 'a lot of wind' coming from a southerly or westerly direction and that he was watching a 'really bad thunderstorm' approach," according to the report.
Debris was scattered over about half a mile in a wooded area, Prentiss County Emergency Management Director Ralph Lauderdale said at the time. The fuselage containing the passengers plunged into the ground, and it took almost two hours to find it. A medical helicopter eventually spotted it and guided searchers to the wreckage.
The NTSB reported parts of the plane were found scattered over a large area with pieces found as far as 1,470 feet away from the main wreckage. The crash left a crater 14-feet long and the engine was found buried 53-inches into the ground.

Nazareth Village offers you exactly what you come to the Holy Land for: to touch the time of Jesus, see its sights, hear its sounds, and even breathe in its aromas. Located on a pastoral patch of farmland in the modern city of Nazareth, a tour of Nazareth Village provides an authentic experience of the land of the Bible. You are greeted by costumed "inhabitants" (the staff actually did grow up in Nazareth), and feel Jesus' teachings come alive along the Parable Walk. You can see women spinning, drawing water and baking bread, and men tilling the soil or harvesting, and herding sheep and goats. At the olive oil press you'll learn that the word "Nazareth" comes from the Hebrew for a new shoot of an olive tree, the "branch" of Isaiah 11:1. An entire house has been reconstructed, along with a synagogue of the type in which Jesus preached in this very town (Luke 4:16-28). Nazareth Village is a truly unique way to immerse yourself in the Bible.

Susquehanna Financial Group's Mehdi Hosseini, who covers chip equipment makers KLA-Tencor (KLAC), ASML (ASML), and Applied Materials (AMAT), among others, asks in a research note today "where is the growth going to come from?" given that it would appear from his research that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM), the largest contract foundry for chip making in the world, is cutting capacity for chip production at the leading-edge technology, 20-nanometer.
Hosseini, who is Neutral or "Negative" on every name he covers except for Teradyne (TER), which he rates "Positive," urges investors to take profits on equipment makers, given their promises to the Street now seem far too rosy compared to what TSM's situation is:
Our most recent conversation with the Taiwan eco-system suggests TSM has recently lowered its targeted 20nm capacity plans by 10%. TSM is now planning to have 40k-45k wpm of 20nm capacity by YE14 (with the majority installed in 1H14), lower than prior expectations of 45k-50k wpm. Although we do not expect this to lead to a down tick in TSM's CY14 capex budget (of ~$10B), it does increase the downside risk to the current investors expectations (of upward revision). Current forecasts also shows TSM's capex in CY15 will most likely come in flat to down Y/Y. Such trends are certainly contrary to what some eq vendors have guided the Street to (i.e., 10-20% Y/Y growth in CY14 foundry spend, followed by double digit growth in CY15). We estimate TSM to account for 50% of foundry spend (or 20% of the global capex, 25-30% of WFE mix). Samsung accounts for 15-20% of foundry spend, and we also expect Samsung foundry spend to decline. Our foundry model includes a portion of Intel capex dedicated to foundry. Thus, with overall bookings that are expected to show significant Q/Q decline in Mar-Q while shipment is peaking, we see significant downside risk to CY14/CY15 consensus EPS estimates across the space. We do not expect a sharp snap back in bookings nor shipment, and thus encourage investors to take profits before it is too late (i.e., this isn't an air pocket, and more like a year-long pause in spending).

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
People of the South Wind
You've had that feeling. It might strike as you pass a cop on a busy freeway or when you suddenly come face to face with someone you're trying to avoid. It's that uneasy rush of dread and panic that signals something is amiss.
When you get that feeling immediately before a turkey hunt, it's not a good omen. But there I was, "Spidey sense" tingling, about to embark on a Kansas turkey trek. Oh, the property we could hunt looked good, and I knew Kansas was packed with gobblers. But our guide for the day was a bit … different, and he insisted that five of us squeeze into a truck and drive around looking for turkeys.
We saw some birds — mostly several hundred yards away in massive ag fields — but our guide didn't want to leave the truck. By 10 a.m., someone finally insisted that we find a likely area and just hunt. By then, the wind was blowing at about 30 mph.
Our guide pulled the truck next to a river bottom, and we ran some calls right at the parking area. Unbelievably, a bird hammered back about 60 yards away. My friends and I immediately hit the dirt and tried to think of a plan.
Ha! Plan? What plan? We belly-crawled to a small tree and tried to look like rocks. Seconds later, I glimpsed a white head criss-crossing in and out of a small opening in the timber. The bird was undoubtedly nervous that it couldn't see a hen and wouldn't stick around long.
Considering the wind and tight cover, a shot would be tricky. I wasn't about to take any risky shots, but I didn't know if the turkey would give me anything else. It might be best to let the gobbler wander off and then circle around to him in the river bottom. However, I feared that my daffy guide might have another "strategy," and we might never see the longbeard again.
Tick tock.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

Anywho, what I use to do for flash effect was to cut the clips into tiny bits and use the fade in from white/black effect (whichever one suits you).
Hope that helps. ^^
Or if you just can't get the clip to right speed you want the flashes or something because it's inbetween other clips, you should save it as a WMV then reimport it back into the timeline, then cut it up from there, since it's all one, you have a totally fresh start on adjusting it even more.

I had first heard about the holographic universe awhile ago. I watch Nova most weeks and this episode was on last week I did a search on here and didn't find any other posts on it so though I would share.

CNN did an impromptu (not) town hall here in Paducah the other day.
One of the people they showed was a woman (no name given) who
felt she would have trouble getting health insurance because someone in the family had diabettes and cancer as a pre existing condition. She said that if she could get health insurance under the plan to tax me tax me tax me tax me tax me.
What they didn't tell you was that this woman ran for an elected position (I forget whether it was state or federal) as a democrat and many of the other people at the "town hall" meeting were her campaign staff. Notice how they cut the rest of what the guy talking about the hummer was saying after Heather made her pt.
More media bias.
Same with the today show this morning. As soon as Todd started lumping all of those who are strongly voicing opposition to the health plan as bad people, I changed the channel. Why can't they say there are a few crazies and a lot who dissent. The polls would support that statement. Heck, Truth would support that statement.

I see where Jay Jacobs (Auburn AD) is already politicking for a one loss SEC team to be playing in Pasadena...wonder if he will still be chirping if that one loss team turns out to be Missouri
It amazes me that everyone talks about OSU's weak schedule but no one mentions FSU's lack luster schedule.
FSU has played one highly ranked team (Clemson). The same Clemson team that IMHO didn't beat anyone either.
As for the Auburn talk. While I truly believe Auburn is a good team they lost to a 3 loss team. You have to win the games you play. Isn't that the name of the game? Win and move on? No, Ohio St. didn't win fancy but they won. You have to remember this was a rivalry game on Michigan's turf. Do you think they were just going to roll over?
I will say this OSU has proven they can score. FSU has yet to be tested by anyone this season, Auburn has been beaten and honestly had that game gone into OT I think Bama pulls it out. Year in and year out we argue the BCS and every year we get two clear cut contenders. Even of the final score is lopsided
Longhorn Lacey's Boomerang "Boomer"
CH. Brio's Jollycurl to Bravo First Over Under MH WCQ "Parker"
Brio's Bravo to the Lookout JH WCX "Cora"
Bravo's Instinct "Franchi"
Kyle Crump
Tonight's BCS rankings may actually mean something, going to be interesting about the frog's hair difference in percentage points between 2-3-4 and maybe even 5...
Is it mathematically possible for Bama's numbers to go up without playing again till its bowl game, and could it work to their advantage of NOT having to play one more game
I know of two teams that are just sick wondering what could have been and thats Stanford and Baylor
just admit northern illinois is the #1 team and move on to basketball.....
Tonight will look like this.
2 - Ohio St.
3 - Auburn
4 - Alabama
5 - Missouri
What will be crucial is just how close or far away Mizzou is from BAMA.
A Ohio St loss and a Mizzou Win could put Mizzou in the Title Game as #2.
But only IF Mizzou is close to Bama in the points tonight.
That loss to Ole'Miss hurt us bad.
Without that loss, we'd be in the Top 10 if not bidding for the Sugar.
Well it's official. Mizzou is right on the heels of Alabama in the points.
Therefore if Mizzou wins the SEC,
they will jump Alabama and secure (at least) the Sugar Bowl.

By NEMCC Media Relations
BOONEVILLE – Tanner Whitaker signed with the Northeast baseball team last week and will add some quality depth to the mound for the Tigers in the 2013 season.
Whitaker is a left handed pitcher that was a three year starter for the Braves under head coach Jerry Long.
"Whitaker is a great kid and we are glad to have him move on to play at the next level," said Long. "I think he will be a good addition to the Northeast team and we hope he has lots of success."
Whitaker played for the elite Mississippi Stars team in 2012, after going 2-2 on the mound during his junior campaign. Whitaker held a 3.23 earn run average with two saves, 26 strike outs and 12 walks.
"I am excited about coming to Northeast to play baseball and continue my education," stated Whitaker. "I chose Northeast because I like the coaches and I feel like I can be successful there."
Northeast head baseball coach Kent Farris agrees that Whitaker will be a help to his program.
"Tanner is a good kid and a great pitcher and anytime we can add another quality pitcher to our program then it is a good thing," explained Farris. "He comes from a solid program and a good family and is well coached. We are proud to have him sign with us."

Comment Re:Not Thankful (Score 1) 197
I may be an extreme minority here, with how often people like to bash GNOME 3 at every opportunity here on slashdot. But slashdot likes to amplify vocal minorities too, so who knows.
What I do know is I honestly, really like GNOME 3. For desktops. I held off on switching for a long time because I kept hearing how it was terrible, but I finally switched about 2 weeks ago and I love it.
This is going to sound weird, considering most people describe it as bloated, but I love how minimal it is. I love how everything gets out of your way. There's no launcher, there's no desktop icons, the only permanent bar is the clock at the top. If you want to launch something, all applications are only a corner mouse throw or key press away.
I like how if I want to switch to an already open window, I just hit [Super] and type in the application name and hit enter, and it brings me to it. Most people apparently don't like how this doesn't open a new application instance, but I switch applications more often than I open new ones, and this method is a lot easier than alt-tabbing through a ton of windows or using the taskbar for me. If I really want to open a new window, I use [Control]-Enter instead. It's no big deal.
Before I switched to GNOME 3, I used XFCE with a single launcher bar attached to the middle right side of the screen, and used the option to replace the icons on the desktop with nothing, and a right-click application menu. I used the launcher bar for the 3 applications I used the most, and nothing else. So maybe my workflow was already close to what GNOME 3 expects, and maybe that's why I like it. I just want to let you know that there are people out here that do genuinely like it, because it seems like everybody here seems to think that it was a huge mistake by GNOME and everybody hates it and how could you possibly like it it's horrible. I like it.

Kurzweil K250
One of the first keyboard samplers, it was great then and still good today. It has an adjustable sample rate of 5kHz to 50kHz which means 100 to 10 seconds of sampling time, respectively. Its sampler was also 16-bit. Many other samplers of this time had much more limited sampling/digital audio specs which made this synth a very prominent keyboard. By todays standards, however, this synth has many limitations such as samples are stored directly on Apple Mac disks only. But it had extremely modern features that make this synth easy to use and quite versatile.
It has a 12-track sequencer, chorus, transpose, tune, 36 ROM sounds, 96 pristine quality acoustic instruments, 341 presets, 12 voice polyphony, 2 LFO's per voice, variable sampling rate, truncation, looping, velocity crossfading, full 88 weighted keyboard, MIDI and more! Of course the newer K2000 series is supposed to be better, but the K250 still seems like a major contender even in todays modern synthesizer era. It was also available in keyboardless Expander or as a rackmount module. It has been used by Stevie Wonder, Sean Hopper, Richard Wright, Patrick Moraz, Paul Shaffer, Lorin Hollander, Michael Kamen, Vangelis, Kitaro, and John Carpenter.

3T Rotundo Team Handlebar - $270.00
The 3T Rotundo Team Carbon handlebar is the bar that the Schleck brothers manhandled at the Tour, the Olympics, and countless other races in 2008. To the championship of Luxembourg, to the yellow jersey, to the white jersey, and more. While CSC-Saxo Bank director Bjarne Riis was probably most interested in the 3T Ventus bar when he signed 3T as a sponsor, a nice bonus were the traditional-bend carbon fiber bars that were available to his team. Unlike other bar manufacturers, 3T is following the wants of the pro peloton. For pros, and the climbers on the Riis squad, the round bar has great appeal. This is the 3T Rotundo Team. It is lightweight, oversized, and plenty stiff. 3T was well-regarded in the past thanks to their beloved "Merckx Bend." This meant a medium-drop handlebar that was fairly square on top. The Rotundo carries on this great tradition. A tradition that we gladly grab on to. We like round bends because we find they offer more hand positions, which gives our muscles more comfort that the limited positions offered by ergo bend bars. The 3T Rotundo Team has 139mm of drop and 82.6mm of reach. It is designed to fit in oversized (31.8mm) stems. The center section is designed to withstand the forces that clip-on aerobars put on handlebars. The bar is available in three sizes, 40, 42, and 44mm, measured center-to-center. The weight is 192g (in the 40cm size). - $270.00

Has anyone made covers for their sewing machines/embroidery machines? I'm just looking for ideas of fabrics used, sewing hints for the covers etc. Many thanks!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Has anyone made covers for their sewing machines/embroidery machines? I'm just looking for ideas of fabrics used, sewing hints for the covers etc. Many thanks!
Yes I have . I just used regular cotton fabrics, there are plenty of patterns out there and some are free. They are alot of fun to make, and look great to.
I've had this bookmarked for a while. . . I think it is adorable!!! http://ellisonlane.blogspot.com/2011...-tutorial.html

I've made two so far, one from a pattern (Simplicity 2106).

look for the craftygemini on youtube. she has lots of quilting videos and in one of them she shows how to make sewing machine covers. looks easy enough.
Check on TipNut for lots of tutorials and instructions. I also got lots of inspiration on Pinterest. It is a lot easier than it sounds and can be very simple or very elaborate. I did the latter using a number of techniques we did in class last year, including DP9 and DP4, some folding techniques, Crumbs, applique and fmq. Will try to post pictures later this week
here is one I made. Go to the search and look for 'my sewing machine cover . I tried to post a link but it didn't work.
While searching for feffertim's posting I came across one by "cjtinkle" that is fabulous. I would love for her to make covers for my machines. Doubt she would though. I could NEVER make one that looks as great as hers.

Last Thursday, the Senate passed the District of Columbia House Voting Rights Act of 2009, which gives the District of Columbia a voting member in the House of Representatives and eliminates the position of D.C. Delegate, who represents the District now. Currently, that delegate, Eleanor Holmes Norton, can only vote when her vote does not affect the outcome; however, she is allowed to introduce bills, and this bill was introduced by Norton. The bill would also give an additional seat to Utah, so that the partisan makeup of the House stayed the same.
S. 160 (formal title: "A bill to provide the District of Columbia a voting seat and the State of Utah an additional seat in the House of Representatives") was introduced by Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT). The bill passed the Senate in by a vote of 61-37, falling mostly along party lines; however, five Republicans voted for it (Susan Collins [R-ME], Orrin Hatch [R-UT], Dick Lugar [R-IN], Olympia Snowe [R-ME], and Arlen Specter [R-PA]), and two Democrats voted against it (Max Baucus [D-MT] and Robert Byrd [D-WV]).
The bill that passed the Senate had been amended by Senator John Ensign (R-NV). His amendment (S.AMDT. 575) restored several gun rights to the District by repealing the ban on semiautomatic weapons, the registration requirement, the ban on handgun ammunition, and several other laws. That amendment passed 62-36.
Personally, I am ashamed of the Senate for passing this bill (although I'm glad that gun rights have been restored to the District). Apparently 61 of our Senators need to go back to eighth grade civics class!
This act is clearly unconstitutional! Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution says, "The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States." Washington, D.C. is not a state-it's just that simple.
Furthermore, Norton never should have been allowed to introduce this bill. She is unconstitutionally in the House of Representatives. Section 2 of Article I also says, "No Person shall be a Representative who shall not … be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen." Norton is not an inhabitant of a STATE, and thus should not be able to introduce legislation in the House!
I am all for the representation of D.C. in Congress; however, this bill is not the way to do that. If D.C. really was Constitutionally allowed to have a representative, they wouldn't need a law to get their representation – all they'd need to do is file a court case. Furthermore, if they deserve representation, why don't they deserved 2 Senators as well?
If the House passes this bill and President Obama signs it, this bill would probably be the most blatantly unconstitutional law ever written. At least when President Bush violated the Constitution, he did so in ways that were debatable as to whether or not he actually violated the Constitution, but this bill takes Article I, Section 1 and says, "That's not an important part of the Constitution." Find me any time that President Bush DIRECTLY violated the Constitution – he didn't. The violations of the 4th Amendment were debatable. I personally think that he violated the 4th Amendment, but there are ways that you could argue that he did not; however, with this bill, nobody with an ounce of sanity can argue that this is Constitutional!
Does anybody else find it ironic that the same Senators who complained about President Bush's debatably unconstitutional laws just voted in favor of a law that directly and clearly goes against the very wording of the Constitution? Come on!
Proponents of the bill claim that the "District Clause" (Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution) allows for the Congress to give D.C. a Representative. The text of that clause reads, "[The Congress shall have Power] To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District … as may … become the Seat of the Government of the United States."
"Exclusive Legislation" only gives Congress the right to govern the District, not magically ignore Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution when it comes to the District.
This bill is blatantly unconstitutional, and those who voted for it and criticized the Bush administration ought to be ashamed of themselves. Fortunately the Supreme Court still respects the Constitution, and I am willing to bet that they will declare this unconstitutional in a heartbeat – in fact, I really don't see any of the 9 Justices siding with the Senate. If they do, they are shaming the Constitution and the office of Justice of the Supreme Court!
Even my liberal roommate agrees – this bill is CLEARLY unconstitutional!

Pros: fit, comfort, performance
Cons: ummm...let me get back to ya.
I've been skiing since 1975, and have owned many boots, Lange, Dynafit, as well as earlier Nordicas. I must say these are the best ever. I am a tall, aggressive skier - (yes, still - stay active, kids!) And I believe the highest praise I can give these boots is, I NEVER THINK ABOUT THEM when I'm skiing. I'm not thinking "ouch, I need to adjust that buckle", or "my heel's lifting too much, need to do something about that". All I'm thinking is, "Wow, what a great run!" or occasionally, "OH S**T!" But the boots are just part of me. And here's the kicker... when I drop in the lodge for a snack, I DON'T HAVE TO UNBUCKLE THEM! I know, weird, huh? But true. Bottom line - buy what's right for you, but absolutely try these on. cheers.

Professor Susan Smith served as senior editor of the Harvard Environmental Law Review.
Professor Smith brings a wealth of practical experience to teaching because she has spent more than 20 years litigating environmental and natural resources issues. She first served as an associate with Holland and Hart as an environmental and natural resources litigator. She then became a senior trial attorney and Assistant of the Environmental Defense Section, Environment and Natural Resources Division, U.S. Department of Justice, where she received several awards for distinguished service. Finally, since joining the Willamette faculty in 1989, Professor Smith has served as pro bono counsel for various environmental and community groups. Currently, she directs the school's Certificate Program in Sustainability.
Professor Smith has taught Environmental Law and Policy, Sustainable Natural Resources Law, Environmental Criminal Enforcement, Toxic Substances Regulation, Water Law, Criminal Law, Constitutional Law, State and Local Government, Administrative Law and various dispute resolution courses. Professor Smith focuses her scholarly research on the role of law in achieving sustainability and environmental criminal enforcement. Her book, Crimes Against the Environment (co-authored with Susan Mandiberg), is the authoritative treatise in the field (1997; 2d edition 2004).
Professor Smith's deep interest and expertise in domestic implementation of sustainable development through law led to her appointment to the IUCN Commission on Environmental Law (2000), her appointment as a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the University of Sydney (1997), her appointment as a Fulbright Scholar visiting almost a dozen Australian law schools (1992), and her participation in international environmental law conferences sponsored by the Netherlands, the United Nations Environmental Programme, the United States Council on Sustainable Development, the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute and the International Centre for Criminal Law Reform and Criminal Justice Policy. Closer to home, Professor Smith served as Chair and Commissioner of the Oregon Dispute Resolution Commission (1993-1999) and has been active in numerous other professional and community groups. In 2007, she was elected to the Executive Committee of the AALS Section on Natural Resources and to the Executive Committee of the OSB Environmental and Natural Resources Committee.

To dream of an accident means the feeling of failure. But most often it is the fear of failure. In most accident cases reflect the fear for the break up of any relationship, failure in business, business, as well as feelings of anxiety for the people close to the dreamer, fear for their lives.
If the accident in the dream were fatal characters, trauma, it is necessary to consider the aspects of each character. If this applies to a close relative fear for his life and health, anxiety, thoughts of his death. Just a friend to you, to which you have no special attachment – perhaps you're about to learn or hear about unpleasant events in the life of this man. Stranger – if you're in a dream just a bystander – in the same way you will be witness to trouble anyone; if in any way interact with the character (characters) sleep unpleasant events may, to some extent, affect you.
Your death – you need to be very careful and attentive on the road (in any case).
The main factor in dreams with accidents: the closer you character about whom you care, the more likely it is that your dream – fear for a loved one. The cast of dream characters who are not you friends or even strangers often point to the actual situation, as well as symbolically indicate «emergency» in any sense of the event.
See the report of the dream «it All went to…» from the series «Unlocking prophetic dreams» in the project of oneironauts «Magicum».

Today we got the Alpha box running Tru64 5.1 and surely we do need to do an update to our AppleTalk kernel module as they added an additional argument to the ifp->if_output() function. Otherwise the MacOS X release appears to be in pretty good shape and we hope to freeze the golden master by the end of this week.
I must take things from my office back home, I started with the stereo equipment. By the end of the week I will need to be ready to give my office to my successor. It is a strange feeling to leave a job after 12 years leading the technical part of the company. I am at one point happy to have lots of free time in the near future but I will surely also miss the daily stress that I wanted to get rid off in the first place by leaving HELIOS.

Review: 2012 Blizzard Black Pearl
Pros: Great Daily Driver with tons of versatility
Cons: It needs a big sister in the Free Ride line
2012 Blizzard Black Pearl
Designated in the freeski line, the Black Pearl lends itself to the daily driver category.
I first skied the Blizzard Black Pearl at WinterPark, Colorado during SIA ski testing. The groomers were edgeable and chalky.
I started out with a little skepticism that a rockered ski 88 under foot could be a daily driver but the Black Pearl quickly squashed my skepticism.
Transitions from short/medium/long radius turns were a cinch, and the forgiveness in a roller section was......well......forgiving, but the thing that surprised me most was the easy edge transitions, and general (for lack of a better term) grippy nature.
Day two - Sugar Bowl, conditions were less forgiving, skied out and refrozen terrain, mixed with some interesting refrozen snow in the chutes and trees.
Spent the day testing some other skis and switched to the Black Pearls to ski out the afternoon. (about 3 hrs).
The snow didn't soften up like we thought it would, but the Black Pearl stood the test, and made the day fun, instead of just manageable.
I like to think of something that each of my skis inspires and this one inspires RAWR!
This is truly a daily driver that any woman would love!
Follow up:
We got hit with an awesome storm Friday afternoon that dumped 2 - 3 ft of snow,......light fluffy snow!
The bad news is that I loaned my powder skis out, thinking that I was not going to get out today
The good news is that I found out just how awesome the Black Pearls could be in 3 ft of Powder!!
I figured I had nothing to lose, except a day of skiing fresh powder if I didn't take these out. What I didn't expect was an 88 mm waisted ski to slay it like these did.
Would a 110ish waisted ski with rocker be a better tool for the day? Maybe, but I had no regrets and may just opt to take the Black Pearls out on the next powder day, even if I have my powder skis available.
Bob Barnes would be proud
What a great day!
