Clippers-Magic Preview (Dec. 12)
Posted on 12 Dec 2010 by Taylor Smith.
After getting off to a hot start this season, Superman and the Orlando Magic have come back down to earth a bit. Orlando has lost four straight games, and will look to snap the skid against Blake Griffin and the 5-19 Clippers Sunday evening at Staples Center. The Clippers come into the game riding a mini two-game skid of their own, following a pair of one-point losses to the Lakers and Grizzlie...

Az ingatlan értékelései
Het appartement was prima om met drie mensen door te brengen. Alles wat je nodig hebt was aanwezig. Het was er schoon en netjes. Het stadsverkeer wat dag en nacht lawaai geeft konden we buitensluiten door 's nachts alleen de raampjes van de keuken en de badkamer open te doen (achterkant) en de deuren open te houden. Want zou je de balkondeuren van de slaapkamer open doen dan kwam er veel herrie binnen. Je moet wel gezond en fit zijn want je moet met trappen naar de vierde verdieping.
Tania is een zeer vriendelijke hostess.

This wasabi yellow apartment is at the central Lisboa, very close to everything and good restaurants and fado bar, we love Alfama area, so beautiful! Very good communication and good experience! Would love to come back again!
We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment in Lisboa. Very friendly people. "Check-In" and "Check-Out" were very uncomplicated. A very good restaurant, a supermarket and a bakery are only 3 minutes to walk away. The apartment is clean and it´s a perfect place to start visiting Lisboa by feet or using the famous tram 28 near to the apartment.
Very nice and modern apartment with everything you need. Next to the famous tram 28 station Graca on the hill with a lot of nice reataurants and bakeries. The apartment is very clean on the second floor without elevator but also in a quiet area in one of the most beautiful city I ever visit.
Staying in the apartment from Tiago was a very nice experience. The apartment was incredible clean. We had all the facilities to spend a very nice week.
Antonio who did the check-in for us, was available all the time I need, and this was much appreciated to me.
I highly recommend you to stay in this apartment and enjoy Lisbon.
I'll be back there for sure.

Taking ginger for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy
Kiran Chandra, MSC Adrienne Einarson, RN Gideon Koren MD, FRCPC
September, 2002
Many of my patients prefer to use natural or herbal medicines, such as ginger, before taking drugs to treat nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. Is there evidence that ginger is safe to use during pregnancy? Is it effective?
Although ginger is used in many cultures to treat the symptoms of nausea and vomiting, no trials have established its safety for use during pregnancy. On the other hand, its efficacy has been documented in two randomized, blinded controlled trials.
Plusieurs de mes patientes préfèrent utiliser des produits naturels ou de phytothérapie comme le gingembre plutôt que de prendre des médicaments contre la nausée et les vomissements causés par la grossesse. Existe-t-il des données scientifiques prouvant l'innocuité du gingembre pendant la grossesse? Est-ce efficace?
Quoique le gingembre soit utilisè dans plusieurs cultures pour traiter les symptômes de la nausèe et les vomissements, aucun essai n'a ètabli l'innocuitè de son utilisation durant la grossesse. D'autre part, son efficacitè a ètè documentèe dans deux essais contrôlés randomisès à double insu.
Although nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (NVP) can affect up to 80% of all pregnant women,1 it is largely ignored in medical research and in development of new treatments. Even when the condition is mild, symptoms can cause considerable distress and temporary disability.2 Our research team at the Motherisk Program is one of very few groups to focus on treatment of NVP. In an attempt to improve the lives of women with NVP, we try to investigate the optimal treatment modalities.
Despite the fact that there is safe and effective pharmacologic treatment for NVP, many women and their physicians are still cautious and often fearful of taking drugs during pregnancy. Occasionally, lack of treatment leads to severe hyperemesis and results in hospitalization and rehydration with intravenous fluids. This has great emotional and financial costs.
Many women try alternative therapies for NVP that range from herbal products to homeopathic drugs to acupressure or acupuncture. These therapies seem attractive due to their Ãnatural status.Ã Nonpharmacologic interventions, such as advice on diet and lifestyle changes, are often recommended before physicians discuss use of medication. The drug of choice in Canada for treating NVP is vitamin B6 and doxylamine succinate (Diclectin). Other treatments, such as phenothiazines,3 antihistamines,3,4 and metoclopramide,3,5 are also used.
Ginger has been one of the most widely used treatments for NVP, despite the fact that there are few data on either its safety or efficacy. A survey on management of NVP sent out to obstetricians and gynecologists in the United States found that 51.8% of respondents recommended ginger for treatment of moderate nausea.6 We surveyed 500 women suffering from severe NVP and found that 17% of them preferred non-drug treatments, such as ginger, to treat their symptoms.2
The efficacy of ginger is thought to be due to its aromatic, carminative, and absorbent properties.7 Two randomized controlled trials in the literature report on the efficacy of ginger for NVP.8,9 The first was a small, crossover trial with 27 women admitted to hospital for treatment of hyperemesis gravidarum. They were given 250-mg ginger capsules four times daily for 4 days. This was followed by a 2-day washout period and a second 4-day period during which they were given 250-mg placebo capsules. The severity and relief of symptoms before and after each period were evaluated. A significant reduction in the symptoms of hyperemesis, measured as degree of nausea and number of vomiting attacks (P = .035), was observed with the ginger treatment.
A recent parallel control trial of 70 women randomized 35 of them to treatment with 250-mg ginger capsules and 35 to 250-mg placebo capsules four times daily for 4 days. Subjects graded the severity of nausea using visual analog scales and recorded the number of vomiting episodes. A five-item Likert scale was used to assess the severity of their NVP symptoms. Both symptoms of nausea (P = .014) and number of vomiting episodes (P < .001) decreased significantly with ginger. Likert scale scores showed that 28 of 35 in the ginger group experienced improvement in nausea symptoms compared with only 10 of 35 in the placebo group (P < .001).
Unlike its efficacy, research has not adequately addressed whether ginger is safe for developing fetuses. Animal studies have shown ginger to be a potent thromboxane synthetase inhibitor; it could affect testosterone receptor binding and sex steroid differentiation in the fetal brain.10 Neither animal studies nor prospective controlled studies on the safety of ginger for pregnant women have been carried out.
Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy is a serious condition that
should be treated appropriately. Ginger is an effective remedy that is
used in many traditional cultures and frequently mentioned in the
literature as a treatment for nausea and vomiting with no evidence to
suggest it is teratogenic.

good job
Anthony did great job for a fair price. Next time I will definetely ring ahead to check he will be in the garage before setting out.
Perfect job without any additional cost. On time with the good price. One of my head light was not working. They fix it without any additional cost. Definitely I will use this garage in the future. Highly recommended.
Could Never Recommend this Garage - Agreed price was £50 for diagnosing issue. Then Anthony said he could recalibrate lock if he had an extra 3hrs. They closed in 30mins when I collected car he wanted £150. He said he recalibrated lock however it was gauranteed to fail! So why recalibrate? Started car no lights, worse experience ever..stay well clear.
Excellent mechanic, great work, great price, will always use this mechanic from now on.
Fantastic ! Adam was fast efficient and very friendly used a very good brand replacement part Excellent service and highly recommended. Adam is now my mechanic of choice. Thanks very much for helping me get back on the road the work. Car is working perfectly, now. Thank you.
Better service than any other garage I have ever been to. Don't think you will get a better mechanic in London. Talked through all the problems and diagnosed the car fully. Very happy with the whole job and would use again.
Excellent service and highly recommended. Adam is now my mechanic of choice. Thanks very much for the work. Car is working perfectly, now.
After my car broke down I found JAGG autos on this site. I choose his offer due to the postives ratings he got and Ibam glad that I did. My car couldn't be driven to a clutch and DMF fault. Jagg came down recovered my car, repaired the car faults including a bonnet cord fault that I had all within the qoutes that he had given. Theres was no hidden charges and during the repairs I was given regular updates. I am so glad I choose JAGG Autos and would be taking all my future motoring needs to him.
Friendly quick service and gave advice for future. Highly recommended.
Very professional, very impressed with their service!
Amazing work, quick and no bad surprises on payment. Car drives fine and brakes stopped squeaking. This will be my main goto garage from now on !
Incredibly polite, bang on the quote and a lot cheaper than any other garage. I was nervous using a new garage but I'll definitely use them again if needed.
Very happy with the service. Anthony was efficient and honest on the price. I totally recommend him.
Great service. Anthony was able to do the repair in the time sir we had arranged. Much easier with someone who can come to fix the car rather than taking to a garage.
I would not recommend this mechanic, total waste of my time. Claimed to not have ordered the right part from the internet, then claimed he will check the scrap yard about 7 days later. Job was never started on except he made the situation worst by putting a hole and the water tank. Communicate was poor and not very honest and upfront about the job. Stay away ..don't throw away money like I did!
Very good, would recommend and use again
Perfectly happy with the service, did a good job and got it done quickly, the day I posted the quote.
Good work will go back
Thank you to who can fix my car.com to put me through to the right garage to do a good job. Ardian was very helpful and my car problem was sorted in a very good price. Well done job by Ardian from Ardi Motors. Finally a big Thank you to who can fix my car.com Zafar Syed Leyton East London

I take my cars to them few days ago. Problem solved. If i have any problem in the future, i will visit them. Friendly staff. Excellent service. Highly recommended! Many thanks!
Very nice person. He not only done the job but also told me different ways to keep my car in good condition. Thanks again,
Very nice people, job done to a high standard. Even stayed late after they closed just to finish the job after wrong parts were sent. Thanks guys.
Really happy with the garage. Helpful, communicative and reasonably priced. Thanks to Michelle and Jason
Excellent and value for money
Work was done quickly and with a friendly and positive attitude. I would recommend this garage.
Fantastic very quick and professional will definitely be returning

Dr York Zhu, founder of Biomics Biotechnologies, China (winner of the BioSpectrum Asia Pacific Award 2013 in the Emerging Company of the Year 2013 category)
Biomics Biotechnologies, China, founded in February 2006, is on road to be counted as one of Asia's leading RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutical technology company. The company has a portfolio of more than 40 patents and patent applications to protect its technologies and products.
"There exists a natural drug-making machine, RNAi, in all human cells, which was discovered by 2006 Nobel Prize winners in the US. I wished to turn RNAi mechanism into real therapeutics to cure many incurable diseases," says Dr York Zhu, who founded the company, explaining why he chose to focus on RNAi technology.
Dr York Zhu, who returned home to China from the US, to set up the company, raised initial funding from venture capitalists. The company today has 100 employees and an industrial land of 100 acre at Nantong in Jiangsu province of China where a 10,000 square meter pilot facility has been constructed and is in use since 2007.
Biomics has recognized collaborations as one of the ways of growth, and thus partnered with several companies in Asia Pacific to provide services. It has collaborated with Benitec, a public Australian RNAi therapeutics research company, with focus on developing anti-HBV siRNA therapeutic. The two companies in 2011 announced the success of the first stage of anti-viral program to develop an RNAi-based therapy against Hepatitis B virus (HBV). The companies have proceeded to the next stage, which is designed to develop an RNAi therapeutic to the point of pre-clinical studies in vivo.
Collaboration with Zetiq, an Israeli company, concentrates on development of a novel cervical cancer diagnostic kit, CellDetect. Biomics has exclusive rights to distribute, market and sell the CellDetect cervical cancer diagnosis technology in China. The CellDetect technology can differentiate by color and morphology between normal cells and a wide range of cancer conditions.

The best foot cushions......EVER!
By Sharon
from Port Charlotte, FL
Best Uses
Comments about Ball Of Foot Pads Pair of 2:
I had surgery at the base of my toes to repair a torn ligament on the underside. Scar tissue made it uncomfortable to walk. These little gel cushions are a godsend. They add just the right amount of cushion and protection. They are small enough to fit into sandles and shoes without a problem, yet sizeable enough to provide coverage to the needed area.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

If they made them 1/2" wider, it would be better.The cushion over my bones have worn thin and the pain was bad. The cushion on this product have given me much comfort.

The ladies better get their gloves out on January 31!
It will be the battle of the female titans competing in all the major GRAMMY categories. Beyonce is leading the pack with a stunning 10 nominations, followed by Taylor Swift who received 8 nominations and Lady Gaga who received 5 GRAMMY nods, including Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year and Song Of The Year.
I covered last night's ceremony from the GRAMMY Media Center next door to Club Nokia at L.A. LIVE. While watching the show, nominees, presenters and other talent visited the Media Center to answer questions from the press. I was able to work in a question for David Guetta and RedOne, the big melody maker behind several of Lady Gaga's hits.
VIDEO: Arjan asks David Guetta about will.i.am
VIDEO: Arjan asks RedOne about his knack for melody
Some highlights and other noteworthy GRAMMY nods:
Best Female Pop Vocal Performance: Taylor Swift, Adele, Beyonce, Katy Perry, and Pink are competing. Kelly Clarkson is missing from this list. I had expected she'd be up in this category. Also missing from the list is Whitney Houston. In fact, she was shut out in all categories, even though J Records decided to move her album's release date to meet the GRAMMY deadline.
Best Male Pop Vocal Performance: Soulful crooners Stevie Wonder, Seal, Maxwell, and John Legend are competing with Jason Mraz, who was nominated in the same category last year. I was hoping that perhaps Mika would get a nod as his album met the GRAMMY deadline.
Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals: This is a nice eclectic list of young new guns and players that have been around for a while. Nominees include the Black Eyed Peas, Bon Jovi, Daryl Hall & John Oates, the Fray, and (surprise!) MGMT.
Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals: Colbie Caillat had a big year of duets. She was nominated twice for her work with Jason Mraz and Taylor Swift. Also nominated were Rosanne Cash & Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson & Norah Jones and Ciara & Justin Timberlake.
Best Pop Instrumental Performance: ArjanWrites fave Imogen Heap was nominated for "The Fire." Also nominated are Herb Alpert, Bela Fleck, Maxwell, and Marcus Miller.
Best Pop Instrumental Performance: It will be a battle between Chris Botti, Hiroshima, Booker T. Jones, The Rippingtons, and Spyro Gyra.
Other nominations I was excited about were: Pet Shop Boys (Best Electronic/Dance Album), Madonna (Best Dance Recording), Greg Kurstin (Producer Of The Year), and Anders Trentemoller (Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical). Phoenix, the Yeah Yeahs Yeahs and Depeche Mode are up in the Best Alternative Music Album category.

I didn't get to read much on the trip (finished one book given to me by its author, three of the short stories in an 8-story arc). Must've been too much waking up early and taking bus rides to relax with a nice read.
I am STILL waiting on my missing bag. Earliest arrival? This coming Tuesday?!?

As long as the look of Hobbiton stays consistent within all the movies, then I could care less where they film it. It's been over a decade since I've read The Hobbit, but if I remember correctly that's the only major shared location between that book and LOTR.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
I was watching PBS's Masterpiece Mysteries "Sherlock" a new series with the hero and his sidekick in modern days. Actually pretty good.
Anyways Martin Freeman is John Watson (Dr. Watson)
He is definitely not as fresh faced young as Elijah Wood's Frodo, but middle aged like I believe Bilbo Baggins was. (it's been a while since I read the Hobbit)
I can see why Peter Jackson picked him.
Galadriel and Legolas in The Hobbit
Apparently Jackson is sliding these two into the movie. I've got no problem with it. I'm sure if Tolkien had written The Hobbit after The Lord of the Rings, he probably would have put some LotR characters into the Hobbit too. I'd be really surprised if a lot of characters from the trilogy don't at least cameo or if some of the actors aren't involved in other ways, maybe playing other characters.
There's just no way Jackson isn't going to make significant changes to The Hobbit. It was straight up written as a children's story! I not only expect them but embrace them.

Well, Legolas is immortal, and I believe he's in Mirkwood, where there are a lot of elves seen, but never named. I half expected one of them to be retconned to be Legolas.
That's my jacket!
Thranduil, the king of the Mirkwood Elves is Legolas' father, so it would seem weirder for him not to be there than to be there as far as I'm concerned.

THe Hobbit makes mention of several unnamed 'Princes of Mirkwood.' It's not much of a stretch to think Legolas may have been one of those present.
It'll be interesting to see the elves of Mirkwood. They were kinda mean to the Hobbit and Dwarves. Agreed that's probably where we'll see Legolas.
I wonder where Cate Blanchett as Galadriel fits in? She's reprising her role too. I don't remember her in the Hobbit. Maybe the second half of the two part series?

Winner of National Medal of Science at Astronomy Lecture
Faber Will Present
How Galaxies Were Cooked from the Primordial Soup
February 06, 2013
7 to 8:30 p.m.
As part of the 13th annual
Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series
, University of California Observatories Interim Director
Sandra Faber, Ph.D.
, will discuss
How Galaxies Were Cooked from the Primordial Soup
, an illustrated, non-technical lecture,
Wednesday, Feb. 6, from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
in the Smithwick Theatre at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. Admission is free and the public is invited. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. Arrive early to locate parking.
One of the great mysteries of the night sky is why it's mostly dark, only punctuated by pinpoints of light in the form of stars and galaxies. The lumpiness of today's universe is a fundamental characteristic that took billions of years to grow. Dr. Faber will review the prevailing
"Cold Dark Matter" theory
for galaxy formation and compare its predictions to present-day observations. It's a remarkable saga involving invisible dark energy and matter, the properties of the universe an instant after it was born, cosmic expansion faster than light, and the creation of structure from quantum fluctuations. What's more, she will show that we probably understand this cosmic history better than we understand the origin of our own DNA!
In addition to her leadership of the
University of California Observatories
, she is an astronomy professor at UC Santa Cruz. Dr. Faber was one of three astronomers who diagnosed the
flaw in the mirror of the Hubble Space Telescope and played a major role in its repair
. She established the scientific case for the giant Keck Telescopes, now operating in Hawaii and has helped develop instruments for them to probe the early universe. Her primary research interests include the formation and distribution of galaxies and cosmology--the study of the properties of the entire universe. Dr. Faber was one of the creators of the "Cold Dark Matter" theory that details how the cosmos developed its present-day structure. Among her awards are the Russell Prize of the American Astronomical Society and Bruce Medal of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, each given for a lifetime of distinguished contributions to astronomy. In 2013, she will receive the
National Medal of Science
from President Obama.
The free lecture series is sponsored by the
Foothill College Astronomy Program
NASA Ames Research Center
SETI Institute
Astronomical Society of the Pacific
. Past lectures from the series are available online at
Parking lots 1, 7 and 8
provide stair and no-stair access to the theatre. Visitors must purchase a parking permit for $3 from dispensers in any student parking lot. Dispensers accept one-dollar bills and quarters. Foothill College is located off I-280 on El Monte Road in Los Altos Hills. For more information, access

easy there stan. Some might think you are threading on thin ice toward racial bias with your little video.is that what you think?
If so, maybe you have the issue...................
hi stan, i'll call a brother a brother but i won't do it publically. What i'm saying is to put a little video on a public forum that in a way attaches monkeys to a black man (obama) you might want to consider other things.
i don't doubt that at all stan. Listen, i believe most of us on this forum a very good people, we may have our differences/disagreements but for the most part we are not thugs or killers. Unfortunately in todays society of political correctness talking about monkeys and black men on the same screen together can be construed by some as racist. Just be careful is all i'm saying.

I don't know a lot about your fish, but I would assume a fish that big would have a pretty large bio-load. You might be better off using a sump for filtration along with getting a bigger tank.
A ~18 inch fish is likely starting to get cramped in a 48 inch tankIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

i cant tell you how sad it was when i didnt think i could do bootlogos on 5.0.1 but unfortunately this didnt help me i have animate and animate fix. Any ideas? i know a lot of people who emailed me about a fix for my bootlogos, would like to spread the word that there is a fix.
Did this right after the 5.0.1 untethered was released. The thing is the boot logo is EXTREMELY laggy and after your phone boots up you'll have some weird graphical lines running through your screen for a bit. It sucks because I love being able to change the boot logo. If you don't have this same issue please
Let me know because id like to know if it's something to do with my device.
holy crap.. I tried this on my 5.0.1 Iphone 4. I wanted to get the ios5 setup animated boot logo..
So after rebooting the phone,, my the phone's screen went into this crazy frenzy,, all kinds of glitches,, horizontold lines scrolling up and down.. half of the screen went black, just all kinds of weird crap was going on...somehow i managed to go into cydia during this psychedelic trip uninstall animate and related stuff.
Back to normal now.. Just a heads up if someone else sees this
I never turn off my device so I wont be needing this, but cool none the less
Not sure how to get a custom bootlogo. Can someone tell me how to make that an option in settings?
Yeah this method is too buggy for me. I prefer iStartupVideo. iOS 5 compatible!!!

1. Kansas Supreme Court rules school funding formula unconstitutional — KCUR
The Kansas Supreme Court unanimously ruled this week that the state must increase funding for K-!2 public schools in order to correct an unconstitutional imbalance between rich and poor school districts. The Kansas Legislature will have until July 1 to determine how they will fund the estimated $130 million funding gap. The Kansas Supreme Court also decided that the larger issue of whether the state is providing accurate funding for education will return to the Shawnee County District Court.

The College Board announced Wednesday that the SAT will undergo several changes, including a return to the 1,600 point scale and making the essay portion optional. The revisions, aimed at leveling the playing field for low-income students, will go into effect in 2016.
4. Mapping the anxiety about college admissions — The Atlantic
Atlantic reporter John Tierney has attempted to use maps to identify areas of the country that have high anxiety about college admissions. Tierney used the presence of private college-admissions consultants as the main indicator. "When students or families have the financial means, one way they often deal with their anxiety (or manifest it) is by retaining the services of a college-admissions consultant," Tierney said. The KC area made the map due to the existence of one such firm in Leawood, Kan.

Obama adviser Rattner linked to NY pension probe
Published: 4/17/09, 11:06 AM EDT
By DAVID B. CARUSO
NEW YORK (AP) - An investment company run by the head of the Obama administration's auto task force has been accused of paying more than $1 million to an aide to New York's former comptroller in a bid to win a lucrative deal with the state pension fund.
Steven Rattner was an executive at the Quadrangle Group, a private equity firm, until he left this year to lead President Barack Obama's efforts to fix the U.S. auto industry. The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times reported that Rattner met with two now-indicted men to try to win state pension fund business.
Quadrangle, while under Rattner's watch, paid huge fees to Hank Morris, a political aide to former comptroller Alan Hevesi, the Securities and Exchange Commission said in court papers filed Wednesday.
Morris and the retirement fund's former chief investment officer, David Loglisci, were indicted in March on corruption and bribery charges. New York's attorney general and the SEC have said the payments Morris collected from Quadrangle and other firms interested in landing pension fund business amounted to kickbacks.

Thread: Slime Coat Shedding Question.
Slime Coat Shedding Question.
On two of my fish what i believe im looking at is them shedding their slime coat but i am not exactly sure what that means or is and what it looks like or even why it happens.
First i would like to ask is this common in a african cichlid tank ? because i read it could be because of stress from being picked on basically aggression that occurs in these tanks. Second what does it look like ? Trying my best to describe it i would have to say at a cerain angle while veiwing the fish there is a fade to there color or you can even say it looks cloudy? I hope someone can get what im trying to describe with that. But yea ive been googling stuff and the closest i came to was cotton wool disease but after looking at vids and pics of fish with this this is nothing like it. Im lost its kinda like diagnosing yourself on the internet, doing that everyone has cancer or something severe, believe me ive done it with a soar throat, tooth ache and some other things and basically diagnosing my self with the worst possible thing. The fish are not acting weird at all and all are eating no hiding nothing so is this something i should worry about ? Another thing is water perameters are ideal with no trites or ammonia and trates are a little high 40ppm range but its water change day tommorow and a 60% will lower that no problem i may even up it to 75%.

Are you sure it's not a loose scale or scales? I've seen this on occasion on some of mine, and most times I've never seen any adverse affects. As far as being able to see the slime coat coming off, I don't think that's possible, nor have I ever heard of it. They can lose it somewhat when they're stressed or ill, but again, I don't think you can physically see it.11 tanks, 5.5g up to 125g(2). Mbuna, Haps, Peacocks, Tangs, wild caught to tank raised!

The back of the Geffrye's is to the right, past that overpass.
The 'overpass' is a train track, soon to be a new line on the, er, non-underground.
This is just a random street scene in London. Off in the up and coming neighborhood of Islington/Shoreditch, but really for all of that just a place. A normal sort of 'stuff goes on and people chop wood and carry water' sort of neighborhood.

Deborah Davis (incumbent)
Why are you running for trustee?
"To continue the progress we have made toward improving our Township. I love this Township and it's residents and I am very proud of helping move it forward in such positive ways."
What would be your top three priorities if you were re-elected? Why?
- "Continue to scrutinize the Township expenditures and protect the budget. With the lose or reduction of monies such as the Local Government Funds, Inheritance Tax, and property tax declines it is crucial to monitor all spending. I must continue to oversee all Township Departments for efficiency and safety for employees and residents.

What would be your top three priorities if you were elected? Why?
- "To continue to develop community features, build on what has been happening in the community, lakefront, and park systems in hopes to attract additional families to the Township.
- "Utilize the existing zoning policies to help to make Springfield a more aesthetically pleasing community.
- "Encourage economic (commercial) development in order to increase the tax base so to reduce the tax burden on the residential taxpayers.
"I feel that the above three items will help to stimulate growth within our community while remaining fiscally responsible to the taxpayers of Springfield Township. These items would help the community grow and appear as a more favorable place to live and raise a family."

This month marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court's ruling in the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, case, which stated that segregated schools are unconstitutional.
The historic decision was handed down May 17, 1954. Just a few years earlier, the District of Kansas upheld a state law that required black and white children to attend separate schools.
The original filings from the district court are among the holdings at the National Archives at Kansas City.

Howdy all. Been a while.
I was inspired to write this after browsing Ebay to see what small-scale Titaniums were doing well in the post-Titanium world. The Mon Calamari Cruiser seems to be a big one (some going for $100+) while others- though rare- are not as much (Dengar's Punishing One, for example).
I get a little bummed when I see the ships nowadays- though I am fairly certain I have them all, I wonder sometimes, which maybe means I am just getting old or Titaniums are so far gone to me I don't miss them as much as I thought.
I am still peeved the whole "19.99" versus "29.99" split pricing killed the new line, as Wal-Mart and TRU had them over-priced compared to so many more retailers, and yet those 2 stores were HUGE for exposure, etc.
...nice icon.
I also realized I miss the Battlestar Galactica license ships, and how cool would a few other licenses have been- Firefly ships (Serenity, Alliance Cruiser, the Medivac Helicopter-thing etc.)? Maybe some Prometheus ships (obscure but would have been cool in Titanium size)? Hec some mini die-casts of The Avengers vehicles or any other Marvel Property (other than the crappy Spiderman ones we got)?
There some potential here, but price-points, IMHO, killed the line.
Anyway, now that Titanium finally is dead and gone, anyone else have some thoughts?

Mead knocks off Ferris for final playoff spot
Spokane - The Mead Panthers were favored to win the Greater Spokane League before the season started. With a 34-19 win over Ferris on Thursday, the Panthers guaranteed themselves a playoff spot, and kept hope for a shared GSL title alive.
Rebounding from a loss to undefeated Gonzaga Prep earlier in the season, the Panthers and Saxons entered Thursday's contest with a chance to grab the second seed to the 4A playoffs with a win. Mead (8-1) jumped out to a 20-0 second quarter lead, thanks to two Davian Barlow touchdown runs, and a Gunnar Kayser to Danny Mattingly touchdown toss.
But Ferris (6-3) battled all the way back. Three Cole Karstetter touchdowns got the Saxons within a point at 20-19 in the fourth quarter. But Mead responded with two touchdowns to secure the win, and post-season berth.
Gonzaga Prep (8-0) is the GSL's 4A top seed regardless of Friday's outcome at Central Valley. The Panthers are the second seed, but would share the regular season title with the Bullpups if they lose. Gonzaga Prep beat Mead earlier in the season. In 3A, University is the top seed from the GSL, and Shadle Park is the second seed.Mead knocks off Ferris for final playoff spot

By NEMS Daily Journal
The long and often passionate quest of swimming enthusiasts for a new aquatic center in Tupelo is heading down the home stretch toward completion of an $11 million all-purpose complex at Veterans Park, but an additional $400,000 is needed to finish it with all the necessary competition components.
The aquatic center idea's most passionate backers were parents and supporters of Tupelo's young, competitive swimming teams – programs that have consistently produced championships in high school meets and meets sanctioned by USA Swimming, the national governing body of the sport and the path to Olympic swimming.
The Rob Leake City Park Pool, which has been the home to Tupelo's swim teams, has served for decades, but the programs have outgrown the facility, which is made all-weather with a temporary cover that was put in place each year with the change of seasons.
As the sport has grown for competition and for recreational swimming, the need for a new venue, fully equipped for sanctioned meets, became obvious. In addition to competitive swimmers, the center will also serve recreational and fitness swimmers.
The city approved $11 million for the facility, but it intentionally left out equipment to make the aquatic arena affordable: time-touch pads, bleachers, a state-of-the-art scoreboard, lockers for athletes, and other touches a first-class facility needs.
The larger community goal is attracting statewide and regional competitions, which brings parents, sibling and supporters to Tupelo as overnight tourists, an economic boon as are soccer, softball and baseball in their seasons.
Mayor Jack Reed Jr. asked the Convention and Visitors Bureau for the final $400,0000 on Monday, adding to the $300,000 it had previously committed.
The CVB operates on tourism taxes, and it has been a successful component of Tupelo's continuing program of attracting conventions, meets, tournaments and general tourism.
There's every reason – based on long experience – to believe an additional $400,000 would be a good investment.
Parents, corporate donors and swimming fans have raised $800,000 as a private-sector share of the overall project.
CVB Executive Director Neal McCoy, to be sure, sounded optimistic about more support following the mayor's request. The request is the kind of challenge Tupelo has managed to meet creatively and successfully for numerous other projects and goals.
We hope a March 1 deadline described by Reed can be met.


text: So last week my dog was eating at her normal time and i knew something was wrong cause she looked over her back twice and she never does that while she has food left. She finished (she is a fast eater) and she immediately started this scary snorting noise that seemed as if she had something in her nose or the back of her throat. So we brought her into the vet asap and they said sometimes dogs have stuff go down the wrong pipe and it should be find in a couple days. So she hasnt had that weird snorting noise now since that day , but she periodically gags. It's really random and she never hurls anything up but she does that and she is back to normal. her spirits have never been shot. Anyone run into anything like this or know what it could be?

Today I spent some time getting a wireless card working on my laptop, a 500 Mhz Compaq Armada m700. I paid zero dollars for the laptop and card, the machine definately suits my need and since I'm planning on traveling soon, and being offline, I am trying to get prepared. The battery doesn't work in this machine which is a drawback, since I may not always have good access to electricty and when I land in New Zealand, I'll hve to be careful, since they use a different electrical standard. I was thinking to buy a used laptop from a hardware dealer I've done business with here, but I think I'll wait and buy a native kiwi laptop when I get over there. Sure would be a nice to have a battery though, batteries plus list a battery on their site for like 160, yowza may as well be a million dollars, I'd never consider spending that much on a battery, maybe 30 dollars... or zero dollars, but not that much.
So anyway, the card that I found in the scrap pile is a linksys WPC11 version 4, I did my due dilligence trying to find an open source driver, there was one, but a little to experimental for my taste. The forum on the sourceforge page described some problems using the Linksys card, which uses a maxim radio from what I recollect. So I had to go with ndiswrapper, which I'm not knocking, seems to be a really great project, just didn't want to have to use the windows drivers. But anyway I've only configured ndiswrapper once before, so had to relearn the debian way to do use it, which didn't take long. Now it's working, and I have a pretty good machine to learn and study Debian, work on some development projects and do pretty much anything I want to do, this machine is good enough. When I get settled in New Zealand though, I'm starting to think about creating a development environment, and all that might entail. Also I have rented some VPS instances, and think I'll be able to keep all three of them, and may be able to get a server hosted before I leave.

Article Topic: HypnosisOrder by: date | title | author
Date: 2011-05-30 By: Carl Llewellyn Weschcke
The recent and on-going revolution in physics has not only added another dimension to our understanding of the "worlds" in which we live, but provides a totally new perspective in which consciousness is added to the basic duality of Energy & Matter to form a "Trinity of Power" through which any individual person can actively intervene and bring change to his or her own potential reality. Simply speaking, you can shape your future. It is this active intervention that gives genuine meaning to our approach to "Self-Empowerment." So how does one use self-empowerment to create a better life, the life they have always dreamed of? Carl Llewellyn Weschcke, co-author of Self-Empowerment Through Self-Hypnosis Meditation CD Companion and Self-Empowerment Through Self-Hypnosis, explains.

Talk focuses on inequality in education, Dec. 14
Posted December 6, 2005; 04:17 p.m.
"Rethinking Brown: The Unfinished Struggle for Equal Education in the 20th-century North" is the topic of a lecture scheduled for noon Wednesday, Dec. 14, in 211 Dickinson Hall.
Thomas Sugrue, the Edmund J. and Louise W. Kahn Professor of History and Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, will examine educational inequalities in the North since the landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, which outlawed segregation in public education.
A leading scholar of 20th-century American history, Sugrue is the author of the award-winning "The Origins of the Urban Crisis: Race and Inequality in Suburban Detroit."
The lecture is sponsored by the Department of History.

I was thinking of using one of those sockets and just wiring up 8 pins say at the top end That way I could add to it later if need be I have one 6 pin plug with wires sprouting everywhere plugged into a small breadboard at present but I'm always putting the chip in the wrong holes!I just leave it all attached to the usbtiny programmer so I was looking to tidy that up
Ive been plugging and unplugging with the power on . As long as the programming has finished it does not seem to do any harm. Probably reaching 1000 plug ins and pull outs this way with no bad results.But then I am more of a risk taker than most

Thread: Why do my goldfish keep dying?

Why do my goldfish keep dying?
I have a 24" cube tank, which has a substrate of crushed coral (it used to house cichlids), a large piece of mopani wood and a couple of plastic plants. Filtration is via a Hydor Prime canister filter. I do 20%-30% water changes every week or two.
I put in four goldfish some months ago, which seemed to be doing OK at first. However, after a few weeks, one of them started sitting on the gravel and not moving much. After a day or so, it was dead. One by one, the others did the same. I bought some more, but the same thing happened. I'm down to one goldfish, which seems healthy enough.
I realise that it's a bit of a vague question, but can anyone advise as to why I can't seem to keep the goldfish alive? I would really like to buy more, but don't want to if they are going to die after a few weeks.
Thanks for any help

You are right in not buying anymore -
That size tank is waaaay too small for 1 goldfish let alone 4
My guess is that the ammonia level in your tank is really high. I am assuming you are not familiar with the concept of cycling a tank before adding fish or with knowing your water parameters via testing the water - you should also know that goldfish grow quite large and produce lots of waste so they need more space - like at least 45 gallons for 1 or a pond.
I would try and rehome whatever goldfish you have left in the tank, read up on cycling and get fish that are better suited for that size tank.
Edit: am I incorrect in assuming this tank is too small? Is a 24" cube that large?

Thanks to both of you for the replies. As it happens, I know about cycling very well, having kept tropical fish and cichlids for many years. I don't think that's the problem here, as I seeded the filter with sponges from a very mature tank, so the bacteria should have been there from the start. Also, the tank was prepared for the goldfish right after removing the cichlids, so the gravel and rocks would still have held plenty of bacteria.
Furthermore, the goldfish I put in were pretty small, so even with the fact that they are more messy than cichlids, I would be surprised if cycling or contamination were issues. I had 20-24 cichlids in the tank at any one time, most of them bigger than the goldfish, so I would have thought that the amount of waste from that many fish was more than four small goldfish would produce. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would be surprised if this was the issue. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I'm no expert on goldfish, but I know a fair bit about keeping tropicals and cichlids.
24" cube works out at around 220 litres, and these were plain ordinary goldfish, not fancy ones.
Thanks again
It still might be a parameter issue. 20 - 30 % every week to every other week really isn't much of a water change, especially when the tank was so heavily stocked prior to the goldfish.
We really need to know the ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels. I suspect that because you did such small water changes the nitrates might be at toxic levels to the new fish.When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top... Kingfisher
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me

I have to agree that the tank is too small for common goldfish.
That said, I think the initial issue may be the crushed coral substrate. Crushed coral will make for a pretty high PH, too high for keeping Goldfish.2 10 gallon tanks, 1 20 gallon tank, 1 Fluval Edge, 1 29 gallon tank, and one backyard pond.

Venezuela President Hugo Chavez passed away yesterday, and the market is sending mixed signals.
Some U.S.-listed stocks with Venezuela exposure are heading higher today on the news. Shares of Harvest National Resources (HNR), which has operations in Venezuela it's been trying to sell, have jumped 5.3% to $5.62, while online retailer MercadoLibre (MELI) have increased 1% to $88.44. Coca-Cola's (KO) Latin American distributor Coca-Cola Femsa (KOF) is up 0.6% to $160.83 and Avon Products (AVP) has gained 0.2% to $19.78.
But the price of Venezuela's bonds has dropped and their yields increased today, while the cost of protecting against default on such bonds in the credit-default-swap market has also increased, according to Bloomberg.
When in doubt, trust the bond market. Although the kneejerk reaction in the media was to view Chavez's death as a positive for Venezuela and the region, that view has started to be pulled back in favor of one that focuses on the uncertainty it causes. And for good reason. No one knows what's going to happen next.
Sure, we know what should happen. Under Venezuela's constitution, new elections are supposed to be held in 30 days, according to RBS's Felipe Hernandez–and he expects that to happen. He writes:
According to the statements on Tuesday night by the former vice president and current minister of foreign affairs, Elias Jaua, the government does plan to have new elections within the next thirty days. Minister Jaua also mentioned that vice president Maduro will take office as interim president and will run as the official candidate in the new elections. We believe vice president Maduro is likely to defeat governor Capriles in an election…
…Do not expect significant policy changes in a potential government of vice president Maduro… His experience as minister of foreign affairs would probably imply continuity in this front including relations with China and other trading partners. In the past, vice president Maduro has shown pragmatism and although not radical he is considered to be more leftist than President Chavez. The economic team is expected to remain unchanged in the near term with Jorge Giordani as Finance Minister and Nelson Merentes as Central Bank governor.
But don't expect him to be able to resolve Venezuela's economic problems, Citigroup's strategists say. They write:
Mr. Maduro will have to be pragmatic over the medium term in order to avoid further macroeconomic unbalances, inflation, and scarcity. Nevertheless, we expect GDP growth, consumer prices, and fiscal accounts to continue with the expected path of deterioration. Also, uncertainty about future economic management creates an additional downward bias in macroeconomic performance over the 1–2 year horizon.
And while it's unlikely that splits within Venezuela's leadership will become visible in the short term, they might create problems down the road, according to HSBC strategists. They write:
A fracture of chavismo is unlikely in the near term, we believe, even though Diosdado Cabello, Nicolás Maduro and Elías Jaua (current Foreign Affairs Minister) represent opposing factions within chavismo, according to most political analysts. This is because the upcoming ballot would be the first major electoral milestone for chavismo without Chávez and fragmentation could lead to defeat against a united opposition front that got 45% of the total vote last October….
Some aren't so confident, however. Elena Castro, vice president of Western European & Latam equity sales at Auerbach Grayson, writes:
There have been rumors of a fracture within the Chavismo: on one hand the current Vice President, Nicolas Maduro has the support from Cuba but not the support from the Venezuelan army. And on the other hand there is Diosdado Cabello, current president of the National Assembly, ex member of the armed force, who has the support from the army and who is against the country dependency on Cuba. The only thing that have kept Maduro and Cabello "presumably" together was Chavez, now that he is gone, there is a chance they will go separate ways.
Another reason for the military to take control is that some of them have been said to be on the DEA list for drug trafficking, in which case they would most likely do everything possible to hang to power instead of facing trial most likely in the US.
What should investors do? Opinions are split. Citi recommends investors underweight Venezuelan bonds, but HSBC recommends staying overweight for the time being given its high yields. Time will tell who is right.
I'll leave you with this from UBS's Gustavo Arteta:
Chavez's leadership skills allowed him to align everyone to his government policies, from the Central Bank to PDVSA and to the military. Will the chavismo's new leader be able to align everyone to march to the beat of a single drum? It's a question to which we still don't have an answer but which concerns us because we think the likelihood of an affirmative response may be rather low.

Chart A Course for Children, The Dee Norton Lowcountry Children's Center's annual fundraiser, returned to Fleet Landing this year for an evening a good food and company for a great cause.
Partygoers paused to mug for the camera on their way into Fleet Landing, where they were warmly welcomed with cocktails and canapes. The signature LED wineglasses that made a splash at last year's party were again offered as party favors this year, and guests happily circulated through the silent auction with winking goblets in hand.
A number of Charleston's very generous philanthropists could be spotted in the crowd, and after all the black-tie and formal social affairs of late, everyone seemed relieved to rub elbows and mingle in a more relaxed atmosphere.
The cocktail hour and silent auction gradually gave way to a three-course meal and live auction, which again featured an adorable puppy.
Chart A Course For Children is the annual fundraiser hosted by Weesie and Tradd Newton along with Fleet Landing Restaurant, and the evening benefits The Dee Norton Lowcountry Children's Center. The Dee Norton Lowcountry Children's Center strives to keep children safe from abuse and when abuse occurs, to work with the community to bring healing to children and their families.
