Yarg, looks like I'll be hitting my Wal-Mart tomorrow.
Found Evac today too. I don't mind his paint job, but his left arm is a little annoying with the blades there. When are we going to get a helicopter that can use his blades as swords?
Glad to hear you dig Evac, no surprise that you dig Sideways, he's the man. Evac seems cool, the colors are pretty awful but I know I'll end up buying him.
I hear Evac is hitting Target too, but I checked the one in Eagle Rock and no dice. My TRU had 3 Mudflaps though, I hear it's shipping with Evac, so it's possible I missed it there.
That TRU had Alternators Decepticharge, so I picked him up finally - he's good, but some joints are too loose while others too strong, and I don't like his head, so he's not great.

I just saw on TFW, that wave 4 basics have hit already. Brushguard (Overhaul repaint), Backstop, Street Speed minicons, Wreckloose USA-exclusive.
Yeah, I saw that on DvD's page too, looks like more to look for while shopping, that's always fine by me. More transformers is only a good thing. I wish basics were a buck cheaper, I'd be more inclined to buy repaints like Brushguard and the street speed team, but at $7 they're almost the price of a deluxe.

Thankfully, nothing in this wave interests me.
for anyone who hasn't found Evac yet, he's listed on the wal-mart website for just $15 along with mudflap and a few others.

E-mail me for details.
I didn't know about the price reduction, but I picked up Evac at WM last night and he was indeed $14.97 (I didn't notice till I got home and looked at the receipt).
Evac is pretty cool, the alt mode is good and the only real complaints I have, besides the colorscheme which applies to bot mode as well, is that viewed from the side there are 2 medium-small gaps near the back of the body, and the bot hips are exposed. Other than that, the helicopter looks good, it's rare to get a non-military copter in the TF line but this one delivers very well, the landing gear is retractable and the tail rotors spin, and with the missiles set aside the launchers look like propulsion jets which is good, plus the gimmick is straightforward and works well. Transformation is pretty neat, not at all like other copter TFs, satisfying and uses parts well, even the tail isn't just a big stick of kibble. Bot mode is also cool, a good amount of articulation, the forearm gimmicks aren't overwhelming, and the backpack weapon can fold up behind his head to aim into the sky or up above his head like a hat to fire straight ahead. All in all, Evac is a great bot, a cool transformation, and a good copter.
One odd thing about Evac, it's not mentioned in his instructions but his legs telescope down 7mm, just enough to make his legs seem overly long. However, this has 1 advantage, with the legs extended, the blade weapon can go fully vertical with his arm straight down.

I paid $14.24, not 14.97 like I thought, just like on that page of theirs. Great deal!
Here's my review of Evac, and I finally got around to reviewing sucko, I mean, Leobreaker...
TF:CY Evac - Alt mode is pretty cool, so let me get this out of the way quick: the only things I don't like are the colorscheme (not loud tho', just kinda "meh"), and from the side there are a couple small gaps in the mid-body - the rear of which could have been filled easily by the back of the waist piece. Overall, the alt mode isn't a war machine, so it has cleaner lines and uses them well, the fold-up landing gear is a good touch, and the key gimmick - sans missiles - doesn't look out of place and works nicely making the jet thrusters flip around to become forward-firing guns; the other gimmicks, the gear-driven rotor and the rescue winch, work well too but I wish the rescue rope was longer, the winch body rotates and has the Autobot logo on it. The copter's rotors don't lock into place as well as I'd like, but it's not usually a problem as long as they don't hit anything. Alt mode is solid when everything's together, and I already had a 3-foot fall and nothing broke.
Transformation is pretty cool, very different from other TF copters, the cockpit becomes the legs while the upper fuselage and engine becomes the arms. The waist and shoulders require a bit of strength to get locked down, but better too hard than too weak. I like the slide-up head and how the backpack is formed, the split-apart tail becoming the cape, it's all quite satisfying. Oddly, the instructions don't mention it, but the legs telescope down less than a centimeter, I think so that the removable copter blade mounted on the forearm can rotate when his arm is down without hitting the ground, but the legs look too long this way so I don't prefer it.
Bot mode is nifty, kinda big boots but not outrageous, the overall look is fairly straightforward bot territory with nothing crazy or weird, the figure is solid with no floppy parts and unlike most TF copters no useless stick tail that they don't know what to do with; plus, the key gimmick engine half becomes a jetpack. The winch and spinning rotors gimmick are permanently attached to the sides of each arm, but they don't overwhelm and they both can rotate. The colors add more blue to the balance, but the legs keep it looking mostly orange; the face is light orange paint surrounded by light blue plastic and has dark blue light-piped eyes, they look very dark when "off", but once light shines through they come alive. Evac has pretty good articulation with standard neck and waist, and universal shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees, plus the tail-cape halves can swing up and the backpack is articulated so it can move up behind his head; the waist won't turn until you lift up the hip panels, but then it and everything else is unrestricted. Poseability is very good, although standing straight up he leans back slightly. The weapons start with the winch under his right arm, push the button and it recoils the string; the rotor-spinner on the side of his left arm, the blades can be folded from 4 to 2 and the whole array can be removed; the tail-cape halves apparently move to the up position for attack mode, I guess the tail rotors make some wind attack; and the backpack goes from jet thrusters to pointing straight up, you can then lift the backpack up behind the head to fire the missiles in a ballistic trajectory at around 30 degrees, or lift it all the way up over the head so it becomes a hat that fires straight forward.
Overall, this is another very good addition to this line, outstanding without being needlessly flashy, substance over style. He's a fun toy and a cool figure, another really good Transformer and one of the best TF copters ever.
TF:CY Leobreaker - it's taken me quite a while to review the underwhelming Leobreaker, I don't hate him but he's just not good enough I suppose. Alt mode is a lion, dull gold with white, off-black, brown, and green accents in color, and there's plenty of sculpted detail but some feels chunky like they up-sized a smaller figure. The rear upper legs are disproportionately long, but otherwise it's a fairly adequate techno-lion. The figure has standard elbows/knees and front hips, hinged ankles and a second hinge on the front feet, the rear hips are 1-click limited universal joints, the front forelimbs can rotate, and the mouth drops down slightly when you press the green button on the head, the tail and head aren't articulated at all; there's also a hinge in the middle of the shoulder, makes it look like the limb broke in half, I don't think it has any practical use in alt mode. I didn't even bother putting the batteries in to hear the sound effect, I hear it's just a simple snarling sound, if they had made the eyes light up too I would have gone for it though, but alas. The main gimmick is sticking the key into either forelimb causes a large claw on it to drop down over the hands, it doesn't look especially good stowed or over the paws though.
Transformation to bot mode avoids the classic "stand up, you're a robot" syndrome by having the front half of the lion on 2 arms which let it uncouple from the body and change orientation so the lion head is now where the bottom of the chest used to be, I like it but it's a little too close to being a Lego part (totally removed for transformation, which I don't generally approve of). The limbs are just straightened out, the head is revealed in a nifty way from the middle of the beast back, and I appreciate that there's not a gaping hole where the head came from, the neck is on a plate which seals it up.
Bot mode is alright but not spectacular, the head seems a little simple somehow, like they took a smaller head and scaled it up, it's not terrible but it could have had more depth or detail; the arms are definitely too long; but the shoulders are muscular without looking oversized so it's more humanoid. I think his build, especially with the shoulders, somehow give the impression that he's a big burly scrapper yet somehow still lesser than Optimus, like he's smaller than he actually is yet he isn't, and I like that. Unfortunately, the figure bombs out on articulation, he has a standard neck, shoulders, and forearms, the same limited uni-jointed hips, a sideways hinge in the middle of each shoulder/bicep, hinged elbows, wrists, ankles, and thumbs - it sounds like a lot more than it is, really, the neck is very limited, there's an ugly gap above the knees, the leg articulation is mainly worthless, and the standard shoulders kinda ruin the party for me, if they were universal I would have liked this figure a lot more, instead they tried to fudge uni-jointing by putting a hinge in the middle of his oversized shoulder - you could call it his bicep - so he can "flap" outwards, if you didn't use this articulation his arms whack right into the front of his hips and can't get past, this hinge makes it look like his upper arm has snapped in 2 with a lot of open space between the parts, it's total crap. The crappy shoulder situation and the lack of leg articulation bring this figure down a lot, it's a real shame. The tail weapon cannot be properly stowed, you can wedge it under the plate behind his butt or something, but it doesn't go anywhere besides in his hand, using a small peg into his palm. Key gimmick works the same, except now the hands are longer so the gimmick is even less impressive as the claws are barely longer than that. I want to like Leobreaker's robot mode, it has some things I like, but overall it's a frustration.
Transformation to happy arm buddy mode is negligible, from bot mode, stow the head, fold up the feet, remove the forearms and plug them into the feet... and voila, you've got a robot lion with no arms, or as Hasbro is trying to pass it off, a giant arm which can attach to Optimus or Megatron. It looks amazingly shoddy, there's no "hand" to speak of, you can move one of the heelspurs to be a thumb and pretend the bot forearms are giant fingers, but it just looks like a bot hanging off the side of another bot, any TF figure could have done this by simply adding the adapter peg. Plus, it's way too large on Optimus, Megatron's leg articulation isn't hardy enough to keep this contraption upright, and Leobreaker's forearms on his legs actually looks WORSE than if they hadn't been used at all, even the key gimmick's claws are adding NOTHING to the party. Leobreaker's adapter peg can rotate, slide, and the inner part of the peg can slide, I guess because the arm is so big it hits parts on Optimus while turning and has to be adjusted constantly.
Overall, I don't hate Leobreaker, but he's a disappointing figure and a waste of $20. Maybe if they hadn't wasted resources on electronics they could have afforded a better design with a real hand, or how about some real shoulder and leg articulation, but they didn't and the end result is underwhelming.

so i FINALLY got the chance to contact hasbro about my "exclusive birth-defect alternator grimlock" (put together with two right hands) and they wanted to send me a return label to ship it to them, and they would send me back AN alternator, not guaranteeing that it would be the SAME alternator. they wouldn't just send me the part. i told them i didn't want to do that, and they asked me if i wanted any coupons, so i said yes to that. meh.

Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Edit: Ah, looks like JT beat me to it with pretty much the same thing. Prince put on a pretty good show at the Super Bowl a year or two ago. Certainly better than the Janet Jackson incident anyway.
The reference to the rap band using slayer is exactly why I hate rap, they have to steal other bands music to get noticed. no creativity...its all about the super ego and look at what I have...who cares...its primitive and unremarkable and delinquent and promotes crime.
I listen to every bloody thing (except Beyonce ). Okay, there's a bit more I won't listen to, but it's mostly the prefab pop you seem to be lumping everything in with.
Right now, "Soul of a Man" by Blind Willie Johnson. There's only one existing photo of the man. You don't get much less MTV than that.
JT, not to nitpick, but are you sure the slim box is the first version of Pandora's Box? I got it when it first came out, and I wouldn't describe the box as particularly slim. I know I've seen a much slimmer one since and, when I had to replace mine due to an unfortunate incident involving a drunken college roommate loaning it to someone else and basically destroying two of the discs , I got the small box that's the size of a 2-disc case.
I could be wrong about the slimmer version not being around first, though.
That's my jacket!
I certainly see what you are saying about a lot of the rap, but just because they use samples and such doesn't mean there is no creativity. Putting together a sample heavy album like Paul's Boutique by The Beastie Boys is no easy feat. Plus, much of the creativity in rap is in the lyrics and the lyrical style. I tend not to care for the type of rap that is all about gangstas and hos, has too much of "Yeah. Uh.", or videos with all the rap cliches of cars, dope, bling, booty and boobs.
If you watch one of the documentaries about the origins of hip hop and rap, perhaps you'll have a different perspective. Listen to a song like "The Message" by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five. If you want something more in line with your tastes, the Judgment Night soundtrack paired rappers with hard rock artists. Ice-T & Slayer did a pretty good song called "Disorder". Others on there that I like include Helmet & House of Pain - "Just Another Victim", Mudhoney & Sir Mix-a-Lot - "Freak Momma", and my favorite, Del the Funky Homosapien & Dinosaur Jr - "Missing Link".
The only bands, along those lines, that I listen to somewhat regularly now would be:
Fear Factory
In Flames
Type O Negative
However, my tastes go through cycles and these days I've been (legally) downloading more mid-1990s alternative rock than anything else.
Recent MP3s I've purchased:
Foo Fighters - their entire debut album
Weezer - Pinkerton (full album, in fact I'm listening to it right now)
Semisonic - If I Run, Down in Flames and Across the Great Divide (all off of their 1996 album Great Divide)
The Killers - Spaceman (the only modern song I really like right now, awesome song too!)
I think next on my list is Spacehog: Resident Alien and Hum: You'd Prefer An Astronaut.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
Oh yeah, I forgot to talk about Ministry. I remember when Psalm 69 was big. I've been thinking of getting a couple of tracks from that. Last year I was listening to the Retro-Active station on Comcast's Music Choice and they played an older new wavish Ministry song called "Revenge" that I kind of liked. I've had it sitting in a wish list ever since then.
KNAC.com metal feed, not sure what's playing right now, don't recognize it.
So, on my drive down to San Diego to meet Bobafrett after he donated a kidney to Tycho, I remembered how poorly the tapes I had for comic-con worked out on the drive, and got an MP3 player and tape deck adapter for the car. It's only a 1gb, I filled it up with Metallica, AC-DC, Megadeth, Judas Priest, and Dethklok. It was good, but not enough variety. So over the past 2 days, I've been going through my collection finding more driving music. Unfortunately, the first playlist I came up with filled the player to the brim after down-converting the Metallica to 128kb quality before I had even put any Rolling Stones in, so I decided to down-convert everything during sync to 64kbps, and was able to fit 31 hours, 448 songs, into the player with 100mb left over in storage space. This list has everything in my library that I consider playable for driving, not just metal or rock either. Everything from AC-DC to ZZ Top (cheesy, but true).

Times have changed for those living on the Braden River and in the surrounding communities. For the last few years, residents have been able to enjoy the renewed Jiggs Landing Preserve. The new park offers the same amenities as the original historic fish camp from the 1940s owned by Jiggs and Agnes Metcalf, such as the boat ramp, picnic tables and docks. However, one of the things missing is the "fish camp" atmosphere that once existed on the property.
The absent ambience I speak of was that from the warm, jovial camaraderie that Jiggs and Agnes shared with the fisherman who gathered at the bait shop counter or, more frequently, on the boat docks that lined the shore of the landing. They would discuss the catches and preferred baits, served up with a healthy dose of advice and banter.
If you drifted back in time, the experience at Jiggs would have been similar to what you see today. When you walk through the gate today, you still hear the sound of crushed shell underfoot, feel the shade of Southern pines overhead and see the majestic oaks with moss swaying gently in the wind. The boat ramp is to the left, at the far end of the property, the docks and pilings are to the right of the launch while standing alone is the new, vacant bait shop with the porch outside. You still hear laughter and chitchat from fishermen sharing stories of magnificent bass they caught right off the dock, but there is an air of emptiness because their hosts are absent.
The seven-acre property looks similar to the old camp, with new, finely built "cracker-style" cabins off to the side. Prior to the property's sale in 1967, Jiggs Landing cabins were a place fishermen would spend a few days or weeks and take in all the Southern hospitality that the folks here dished out. People would get a dose of the "Old Florida" feel and would always make plans to return. The Metcalf family memories include many holidays where a long, wooden table was set under the pines filled with a colorful assortment of linens and dishes ready to be filled with home-cooked food. Family and visitors alike wish to see some of the "old time" memories of this place on display.
Hours prior to the 2010 grand opening of Jiggs Landing Preserve, members of the Old Braden River Historical Society put finishing touches on the recreated historical cabin, resembling what once stood on the property. The kitchen even has accoutrements of the period, such as Kelvinator fridge, washboard porcelain sink and metal kitchen table.
Members of the society, with a few exceptions, were never able to experience Jiggs Metcalf's jolly laughter or his wife Agnes' tedious bait tending. Through these few people and through the pictures, we can relive some of that time period.
The society, the Metcalf family and Manatee County continue to work to get the memories and the environmental importance of this place on display. Photos and memories about Jiggs Landing — descendants and friends who came for a good ole' time — could fill an auditorium.
For now, experience Jiggs Landing in your own way. Make memories here and catch your own fish. If you are lucky enough to run into "Doc," ask him to show you one of his handmade flies. Doc has fished these waters for many years and can give you some great tips on where to catch the "Big One."
Denise Kleiner, president of Old Braden River Historical Society, currently lives in Manatee County is an independent financial advisor, writer and speaker influenced by history and the non-profit sector.

However, I'm doing the "shrinkify your project" on the transmitter side so that I will not use arduino anymore and instead use ATtiny45. but the virtualwire library won't upload in the ATtiny45. How can I program this IC with VirtualWire without touching/reprogramming the receiver side ? thanks for your help

Amateur handlers report to Headquarters before 8:00.

|I took a dog from the Kauai Humane Society out for a field trip and we hiked to the summit. Beautiful day and great fun for both me and Archie the Wonder Whippet!

|Great views
Date Climbed: Dec 19, 2014
|Climbed with my wife at the end of a week in Kauai. Lucked out and had no rain. Definitely go past the "end" of the trail and check out the true summit and the other airy summit. Quick, fun scramble to those two points.

|Aloha view
|Mt wife and I hiked up the standard trail on a beautiful day in May 2006 when visiting Kauai with my parents. It is a fun section to get to the real summit, almost a scramble. The views are spectacular with so much ocean to see. The only island peak I have ever done, what a treat.

|Remnants of Hurricane Felicia blowing through Kaua'i today brought a lot of clouds and showers, so we were looking for a short hike to squeeze in. This was it. Very humid day and muddy trail, but lots of good views down over the Waimea River and beach and our hotel in Kapa'a. We're having a great time here. Did the helicopter tour circling the island on Monday: awesome experience!

|No one has mentioned that in September there are several hundred thousand fermenting/rotting berries (sandalwood berries or guavas?) on the trail. The smell is overpowering. Overpowering in another way is the very narrow knifeblade of ridge betwen the forehead (or maybe nose?) and the nose (or maybe chin?)of the sleeping giant, the true summit. My wife of 2 days declined to join me.

Ringrazio il signor Joe, perche' gentilmente ci ha organizzato il trasporto dall'areoporto a casa , vista l'ora tarda (circa mezzanotte).L'appartamento e' giusto per tre persone,i letti sono comodissimi,e la quiete assoluta.Per spostarsi bisogna prendere l'autobus che si trova a dieci minuti e poi la metro per visitare le varie attrazioni di londra . L'unico appunto che farei al signor Joe e' di mettere uno specchio in bagno e degli appendini, e fornire la biancheria da bagno e da cucina anche a pagamento.Comunque vi consiglio questo appartamento per la vostra vacanza a londra.
While the apartment is in a quiet place.
lejo not a supermarket (Lidl) and minutes of a bus stop that takes you downtown.
the communication with the owner was not so good. You can do more ...
not towels.
el apartamento esta bien, en un lugar tranquilo.
no lejo de un supermercado(lidl) y a pocos minutos de un parada de bus que te lleva en el centro.
la communication con el dueno no estaba tan buena. puede hacer mas...
no toallas.
Mr Rhys is charming, it may possibly arrange transfer (comfortable) from the airport to the apartment by taxi at a great rate. Apartment with bath, clean sheets, view children's park, metro (Central line) and bus quickly accessible. Groceries, pub and chip shop nearby. We had a very pleasant stay in a family of 5;
Mr Rhys est charmant, il peut éventuellement organiser le transfert (confortable) de l'aéroport vers l'appartement en taxi à un tarif intéressant. Appartement avec baignoire, draps propres, vue sur parc pour enfants, metro (ligne centrale) et bus rapidement accessibles. Epicerie , pub et friterie proches.
Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour à 5 en famille ;
Very far from London. Bad comunication with the owner of the appartament. He gets angry with me and I seldom speak english to answer him in a proper way.
Reviews for this host's other properties
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Great host, nice location, very recommended!
When I arrived in the apartment, the manager said the pipe of the apartment is out of order. So, he proposed to stay the temporary apartment for two days.
The temporary apart was very dirty, very small, a lot of roachs and bad bed.
I could not sleep the temporary area. My family was very unhappy yo the situation.
I complained to the manager the next day and then he move us better apartment. After two days from our arrived, we could go to our apartment,
Finally, the apartment that I reserved was good location and nice. The manager was very kind and supported all.
But we have to move three times and had bad image for London travel and wasted times during my vacation for the period.
Arriving at the door of the accommodation, the owner reports a fault and gives us a much more distant apartment or cancel the reservation and stay on the street (5 persons).
We were forced to move to another "apartment" his (if you can call it) much farther, just dirty, nothing to do with the photos that appear on the website Wimdu (should check what they offer). It upsets all our plans of travel, schedules, etc., of all holidays.
After all, the owner, was friendly and concerned, facilitating everything related to the initial change of location.
Al llegar, en la puerta del alojamiento, el propietario nos informa de una avería y nos ofrece otro apartamento mucho más lejano o cancelar la reserva y quedarnos en la calle (5 personas).
Nos vimos obligados a cambiar a otro "apartamento" suyo (si se le puede llamar así) mucho más alejado, bastante sucio, nada que ver con las fotos que aparecen en la web de WIMDU (deberían chequear lo que ofrecen). Todo ello nos trastocó nuestros planes de desplazamientos, horarios, etc, de todas las vacaciones.
Despues de todo, el propietario, se mostró amable y preocupado, facilitándonos todo lo relativo al cambio inicial de ubicación.
On average, a bit bland, except for master bed sheets, bath apartment just is not fit if you are not with the door open, maintaining very fair. Cutlery, pans old pans, moreover Joe was very nice and told us where everything was.
El apartamento normal, un poco soso, sin sabanas excepto para cama principal, el baño justo no se cabe si no se esta con la puerta abierta, el mantenimiento muy justo. Cubiertos, cacerolas sartenes viejas, por lo demas Joe fue muy agradable y nos indico donde estaba todo.

Moscow is talkative
After the synaxis of patriarchs in preparation for the upcoming council in June the Moscow Patriarchate has been publishing reams of press releases. In a break from my blogging tradition, I'm going to post most of them. They aren't shy documents and spell things out quite clearly. As such, they provide a window into how the Russian Church has positioned itself as we approach the Council (which they have categorically designated as
an Ecumenical Council).

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:First Pond
Sounds idyllic... I am no trout expert but it could have been they were going for emergers verses adults. If they seemed to be predominately smaller boils without a lot of fin breaking or snout popping, try a half emerged mosquito-larvae looking fly and dress it so it sits just under the film. I often get the hit while stripping in tiny little twitches.
When all else fails I go to a gnarly bead head wolly bugger in black #10 or even #8 and that somehow seems to weed out the aggressors. Another option is to fish a nymph in the top 3-6 feet with tiny twitches. My son will attest to that, he landed a 16" rainbow last time we fished that way under the rises.
First Pond
Sitting in my office yesterday, watching the sun shine & thinking about the new kickboat hanging in the garage, I just had to skip out & hit the water.
I was on the water by 4:30, having a popular pond all to myself. My goal was just to get familiar with the new kick-boat & try out some of the new flies I will be trying for the salt so I brought the wifes new 8 weight. I hope she appreciates all the work I'm doing for her.
I fished deep & slow, bright & dark - nothing. No big deal until I see fish rising for the midges that were hatching in a back corner of the pond in a little inlet.
Took my leader which prevously was 8' long and ended with a section of 4# fluoro for a tippet and modified it to 9.5' 7X to cast a teeny #14 dry fly. Casted perfectly time & again - rejected.
Happy as can be with the new kick boat, got some great photos of geese, ducks, swans.
I'll brag about fish next time.

Family: Dipluridae, Funnelweb Mygalomorphs view all from this family
Description 1/8" (3-5 mm). Tan to yellowish-brown to reddish-brown, hairy. Large body. Belongs to the group of primitive spiders commonly called tarantulas. Constructs tube-shaped webs.
Habitat Mature coniferous (spruce-fir) forest.
Range Southern Appalachian Mountains, western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee.
Endangered Status The Spruce-fir Moss Spider is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as endangered in North Carolina and Tennessee. This species has strict habitat requirements: it lives in damp mats of moss growing on rocks in the deep shade of mature Fraser Fir and Red Spruce trees. These old-growth forests have been under attack for centuries, felled by timber interests and suffering from the effects of human dominance of the landscape. Recently, an introduced insect, the Balsam Woolly Adelgid, has been killing off fir and spruce trees, and the spider has declined as well. Only two populations of Spruce-fir Moss Spider are known to survive, one on Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina, the other on Mount LeConte, Tennessee.

Gronkowski is active.
Gronkowski is active.
My point about the mental toughness aspect is that the Fins need to stem the tide of all the factors that favor the Pats. New England is pissed from playing poorly last week. The crowd will pumped to have Miami in town with wintery weather they have. The Pats will be stoked to have Gronkowski back. Finally, they want to be playing well going into the playoffs.
Saying all of that, the Fins must match their intensity. Stay in the game early. Don't give the Pats gifts early (like the last game we had with them). Through physical and steady play, show the Pats they are in for dogfight today.
The Fins have something to play for...time to battle the adversity and make a statement on national tv.
anyone get that feeling like we are about to be crushed today by the patriots? we played them very close at home and made it for a tough game for them. I think they have a point to prove today while also trying for a bye week in the playoffs. Dont get your hopes up fin fans.
I want to see the fins play fast....no slow motion **** in the cold.
my barber is a patsie fan. we were talking yesterday while he was cutting my hair and he was talking about the seatle game, he knew the pats were screwed cause early in game they blitzed right up the middle and nailed the crap out of brady helmet to helmet after he threw the ball "after that brady was interested in that S--- no more, later on they drilled wes welker when he crossed over the middle, wes welker was interested in that s--- no more" i think jones is prob one of our biggest hitters on D, i say there HAS to be, even if we give up some chunk yards, a blitz be jones up the middle where he can get a full head of steam on brady and make him "not interested in that no more" (as my barber would say) but happy last football sunday of the year all, lets put a little bit of yellow urine in their wheaties going into the playoffs. cant wait for 2013 season...playoffs baby!
not to mention that anyone who has played football at any level knows those hits hurt so much more when its cold, so lets put a little sting on them.

I am staying at my girlfriends and the internet isnt working very well. I havent missed a single snap all season but im going to miss this game
I hate that it's the last game of the season and hope the Phinz will go out on a positive note. At least play tough and be competitive.
Just Win Dolphins!

Laptop Requirement for 2016-2017
All incoming Slane College of Communications and Fine Arts freshmen and transfer students are required to have an Apple® MacBook Pro laptop computer. Incoming Interactive Media majors are required to have the 15-inch MacBook Pro. All other Slane College majors must have a MacBook Pro that meets the minimum technical specifications below. Incoming freshmen who already own an older Mac laptop may opt to continue using it freshman year before upgrading.
- Processor: 2.0GHz Intel Core I5 or Core I7
- Memory: 8GB
- Storage capacity: 256 GB SSD (solid-state drive) recommended
A note on storage: Solid-state drives are ultra-fast replacements for standard hard drives and can be had as an option in most of Apple's computer lineup. They have no moving parts and while not impervious to crashing, they are much less likely to have catastrophic data loss during the lifetime of the computer. However, solid-state drives are more expensive and have smaller capacities. A 256 GB solid-state drive offers enough space for the operating system, software, along with a decent amount of space for student-generated content. However, photos, music and especially videos can quickly use up the remainder of the available storage. When purchasing a machine with a 256 GB solid-state drive, you may want to consider augmenting the internal storage of the laptop with an external drive.
All incoming Slane College students are required to have Microsoft Office or equivalent software. This can be Microsoft Office 2011, a subscription to Microsoft Office 365, the bundled Apple applications (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote), or utilizing the Google Drive applications, which are included in their Bradley email account. While we recommend one of the Microsoft Office solutions, the Apple applications and Google Drive are available at no additional cost and may be worth consideration.
Interactive Media majors and minors, Art majors, and Sports Communication majors must have the Adobe Creative Cloud. (see software notes below)
Individual courses for all majors may require additional software specific to the course.
Incoming students who change majors into an area of study within the Slane College of Communications and Fine Arts will be held to the laptop requirements of the college.
Apple® laptops and software are available with educational discounts at the Bradley Apple Store. Software can also be purchased through a variety of online retailers that provide educational discounts. Proof of student status may be required to place an order for hardware or software. Laptops can be purchased from any source.
With proper documentation, the expense incurred to secure required technology may be added to a student's total cost-of-attendance. This inclusion will enable expanded parent borrowing opportunities. Contact the Bradley University Financial Assistance office for further information at (309) 677-3089.
For additional information on the laptop requirement, please contact:
Cory Rabe, Computer Facilities Supervisor - firstname.lastname@example.com - (309) 677-2859
Mat Smoody, Audio-Video Engineer - firstname.lastname@example.com - (309) 677-2973
Software notes for Interactive Media majors and minors
All students who are either Interactive Media majors or minors are required to have the Adobe Creative Cloud, which includes all the software in the Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection. Membership in the Cloud also guarantees you will always have the latest version of the Adobe software. This software will be used throughout the entirety of the student's college career in nearly every IM course. Often, students will use their software for out-of-class activities and assignments in other courses as well. Students taking additional courses in Interactive Media may have additional software requirements in future courses.
Interactive Media students are engaged in design and production software on a daily basis. As such, students are required to have a variety of additional software on their laptops beyond the Adobe Creative Suite. Though we attempt to find adequate software that is free for students, current job listings for both internships and entry-level positions often require or prefer industry standard software experience for prospective candidates. Therefore, we require students to have a balance of both freely available software and industry standard software. Software requirements vary between courses and faculty will inform students of software requirements on or before the first day of class when practical.
Software for Art majors, Sports Communication majors, and others taking IM 113
All students who are required or planning on taking IM 113 are required to have the Adobe Creative Cloud.
Adobe Creative Cloud purchasing options
Students may sign up directly at www.adobe.com for the Creative Cloud suite. This is the best method for Interactive Media majors, Graphic Design majors or anyone else who plans to use the software for more than a year.
Other software purchases
Journey Ed is our preferred software provider for Microsoft Office or anything else your courses might require. Visit their site and choose Bradley University for better pricing.

My weekly diary schedule has already slipped! In my defence, last week was exceptional, because the major activity was neither entrepreneurial nor academic, but practical and logistical: moving house. A lengthy rant about the insanity of the English conveyancing system is probably not of great interest to readers of this diary, so I will save the accumulated feelings of helplessness and insecurity for some other outlet.
Meanwhile, back to work. It's the start of teaching next week; fortunately, I am teaching largely the same material as last year, so now is the time that I can reap the benefits of preparation time that spent on the course over the last two years. Inevitably, there will be new things to include and outdated material to remove or update, but by and large I should be able to deliver the same content.
This is a relief, because of course this year I only have one fifth of my time on academic-related activities. This means that various things have to be sacrificed or delegated, not least some of my extra-curricular activities such as being release manager of SBCL – so I'm very glad that Juho Snellman has volunteered to step in and do that for the next while. (He suffered the by-now traditional baptism of fire, dealing with amusing regressions late in the 1.0.42.x series, and released version 1.0.43 today; we'll see how his coefficient of grumpiness evolves over the next few months).
In the land of industry, what I've mostly been doing is drawing
graphs. As the screenshot
last week's my previous
entry suggests, I'm using R for data processing and
visualisation; I have datasets with large numbers of variables, and
the facilities for visualising those quickly and compactly with the lattice package
(implementing Becker and Cleveland's trellis
paradigm) are very convenient. By and large, progressing from
prototype visualisation to presentation- or publication-quality
visualisation is also straightforward, but I spent so long figuring
out one thing that I needed to do this week that I'll document it here
for posterity: that thing was to construct a graph using lattice with
an axis break. It's not that it's absurdly difficult – there
are plenty of hookable or parameterisable functions in the lattice
graph-drawing implementation; the difficult part is finding out
which functions to override, which hooks to use, and which
traps to avoid.
The problem as I have found it is that when drawing a lattice plot, for these purposes, things happen in an inconvenient order. First, the axes, tickmarks and labels are drawn, using the axis function provided to the lattice call (or axis.default by default; then the data are plotted using the panel function. So, that would be fine; one could even hackily draw over the axis in the panel function to implement the axis break, at least if one remembers to turn clipping off with clip=list(panel="off") in par.settings. Except that the axis function doesn't actually draw the axis lines; instead, there's a non-overridable bit of plot.trellis which draws the box around the plot, effectively being the axis lines – and that happens after everything else.
So, piling hack upon hack: there's no way of not drawing the box. There is, however, a way of drawing the box with a line thickness of zero: pass axis.line=list(lwd=0) in par.settings as well. Ah, but then the tick marks have zero thickness too. Oh, but we can override that setting of axis.line$lwd within our custom axis function. (Each of these realisations took a certain amount of time, experimentation, and code reading to come to pass...). What it boils down to, in the end, is a call like
xyplot(gmeans.zoo, screens=1, col=c(2,3,4), lwd=2, lty=3, more=TRUE, ylim=c(0.5,1.7), scales=list( x=list(at=dates, labels=date.labels), y=list(at=c(0.5,1.0,1.5), labels=c("- 50%", "± 0%", "+ 50%", "+ 100%"))), key=list(lines=list(col=c(2,3,4)), text=list(lab=c("5m", "500k", "galileo"))), xlab="Date", par.settings = list(axis.line=list(lwd=0), clip=list(panel="off", strip="off")), axis=function(side, scales, components, ...) { print(scales) lims <- current.panel.limits() trellis.par.set(axis.line=list(lwd=0.5)) panel.axis(side=side, outside=TRUE, at=scales$at, labels=scales$labels, draw.labels=side %in% c("bottom", "left"), rot=0) panel.lines(lims$xlim[[1]], lims$ylim, col=1, lwd=1) panel.lines(lims$xlim[[2]], lims$ylim, col=1, lwd=1) panel.lines(c(lims$xlim[[1]], as.Date("2010-09-11")+0.45), lims$ylim[[1]], col=1, lwd=1) panel.lines(c(lims$xlim[[2]], as.Date("2010-09-11")+0.55), lims$ylim[[1]], col=1, lwd=1) panel.lines(c(lims$xlim[[1]], as.Date("2010-09-11")+0.45), lims$ylim[[2]], col=1, lwd=1) panel.lines(c(lims$xlim[[2]], as.Date("2010-09-11")+0.55), lims$ylim[[2]], col=1, lwd=1) }, panel=function(x,y,...) { xs <- current.panel.limits()$xlim ys <- current.panel.limits()$ylim panel.xyplot(x,y,...) panel.polygon(as.Date("2010-09-11")+c(0.4,0.6,0.6,0.4), c(ys[1]+0.05,ys[1]+0.05,ys[2]-0.05,ys[2]-0.05), border="white", col="white", alpha=1) panel.lines(xs,1,col=1,lty=3) panel.lines(as.Date("2010-09-11")+c(0.5,0.6), c(ys[1]-0.025,ys[1]+0.025), col="black") panel.lines(as.Date("2010-09-11")+c(0.4,0.5), c(ys[2]-0.025,ys[2]+0.025), col="black") panel.lines(as.Date("2010-09-11")+c(0.5,0.6), c(ys[2]-0.025,ys[2]+0.025), col="black") panel.lines(as.Date("2010-09-11")+c(0.4,0.5), c(ys[1]-0.025,ys[1]+0.025), col=1, lwd=1) panel.text(as.Date("2010-09-20"), t(gmeans.zoo[1,])+c(0.01,0,-0.01), sprintf("%2.0f%%", round(100*t(gmeans.zoo[1,]-1))), pos=4) })

Let me tell you about my Saturday. Needed a blank pistol for training dogs, well as all of you know blank pistols are not the cheapest guns in the world, so talked with a few folks and decided to get a .22 revolver and use it as a blank pistol. Go to the local gun store, keep in mind this is in a town of I kid you not maybe 75 people but one of the major gun outlets in the area, and when I pulled in I counted 13 vehicles at the place and there were a ton of folks in there!! My previous trips to this establishment I have seen maybe 4 or 5 folks there, but Saturday there were 13 cars carrying I swear at least that many folks!! They have one guy that is on the phone with ATF,FBI whomever they call into to clear the sales the whole day. After waiting an hour, got my pistol and scope rings I needed and then waited for the clearance from the FBI for another half hour. The whole time I am there folks are buying guns like were arming a small army!! Folks dropping 2K to 5K without blinking an eye!! Every walk of life and everyone buying shotguns, pistols, rifles and a few assault type weapons. Visited with the owner when we left and he said it was SLOW for a Saturday!! He also told me they are on a slow going out of business sale as they are selling 25x's the amount of guns they are able to get in!! Are you folks seeing the same thing?
Shocker Saturday Regards,

Much appreciate the myth-busting about goldfish... and the added commentaries. I started out with two healthy and (I found out later) an unhealthy fantails. The unhealthy one I (luckily) moved to another tank. He`s dead now and his two buddies are doing fine. Salt couldn`t help the first but I may be adding some to the tank of the remaining two... especially if any spots appear! Thanks again.
One bone to pick here.... Regarding cold water... The exotic varieties of Goldfish cannot live in water temps. below 72˙F -- they develop all sorts of health problems (especially swim bladder issues), are lethargic, etc. Basically, any Goldie variety that would not do well in a pond environment should be kept at temps. of 74-78˙F. Examples: bubble eyes, celestials, wakins, lionheads, albinos (except Comets), ranchus, pearlscales, pompoms, jikins. On the other hand, Comets & Shubunkins & common fantails do best in water temps. below 74˙F.
Salt.... Never use it (I've been keeping Goldies for over 20yrs.). Though, many swear by its healing and preventative properties, I just haven't seen any evidence to that effect in my own experiences. I've had some Goldies for 10+ yrs. and they've never been sick without the use of salt. IME .... For Ich (seen only in new acquisitions), I have always used QuickCure. Most fish were rid of Ich in 24hrs. Usually treated them at full dose for 36hrs. and then at half dose for the rest of the week (5 days total treatment) and then put them in medication free water for a few days to monitor them, but never had a case of reinfection. Again, IME...
Just my 2¢.

High quality food and water will prevent 95% of the problems you would have otherwise encountered. However, if problems do arise, in addition to extra water changes, goldfish respond very well to salt treatments. IMO it should be on hand for any goldfish keeper.Aquarist since 1995

Some school districts out of budgeted snow days
District leaders consider options to make up time
MADISON, Wis. - Some school districts have used all their budgeted snow days, and a number of schools will likely be closed again Tuesday due to another snowstorm.
Area school districts said students will have to make some of the days up, even if it means coming in on a weekend.
DeForest is one of the districts in the area that has run out of planned-for snow days. The DeForest School District has canceled school three times so far this winter and brought students in late another three times.
"We have to make sure we're in compliance with (the Department of Public Instruction) and the expectations for numbers of minutes kids are in schools at each of the levels, so you're always trying to balance how to make sure you can accommodate those days," said Jon Bales, DeForest superintendent.
State law requires schools to schedule 180 days, and five of those days can be used for parent-teacher conferences or inclement weather.
"Separate from that is a separate requirement in state law which involves hours of instruction. There's a minimum number of hours of instruction that must be held in a school year," said Patrick Gasper, of the state Department of Public Instruction.
That requirement breaks down to 437 hours for kindergarten, 1,050 hours for first through sixth grade and 1,137 hours for seventh through 12th grades.19179826
"The first few snow days you don't need to make up and you're still within those parameters. Beyond that, you need to figure out ways to increase instructional time," Bales said.
That's why DeForest is adding five minutes to its school day starting March 18 and turning two half-days into full days.
If there are any more snow days, summer break will start getting cut to make up the time.
"Knowing that we have another big snowstorm forecasted for the next couple of days, I expect we're not done with this yet," Bales said.
The Madison Metropolitan School District has turned the last day of school for elementary students from a half-day into a full day.
Most school districts said if school is closed Tuesday, they will add the time they need to make up at the end of the year.
The Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District has also hit its limit, and district leaders are considering a Saturday to possibly make up for it, or Monday, June 10.

Taylor gives friends, family 138 reasons to smile
LA CROSSE, Wis. - Jack Taylor's parents and girlfriend traveled more than four hours Tuesday to see him play his first basketball home game with his new team: Grinnell College. Little did they know, there were going to see him shatter a long-standing NCAA record.
"I know that he's that great of a basketball player but I've never seen a performance (like) he put on last night. To score 138 points, I'm in utter amazement," said Christina Teeples, Taylor's girlfriend. The two started dating five years ago while attending Black River Falls High School.
Taylor broke the previous single game record of 113 points last night while leading Grinnell to a victory at home over Faith Baptist Bible. Grinnell is a division 3 college located in central Iowa.
The plan going into the game was to get Taylor lots of extra shots since he had been struggling. Once he kept making them, it then became a run at history.17520352
"I came into the locker room at halftime and they said I had 58 points and I was kind of shocked by that," said Taylor.
"I didn't know that I had that many and all my teammates were so ecstatic for me and unselfish and said we're going to give you the ball every time down the court if you are shooting like this," he added.
"He's the hardest (working) basketball player I've ever seen. He works at it day and night, 24/7. He lives and breathes it," said Teeples.
Teeples makes it to as many of Taylor's basketball games as she can. She could have never guessed she would witness basketball history on Tuesday night.
"(The record) was getting closer and closer and everyone was kind of anticipating that moment and then once it (happened) everyone kind of went wild and he got some handshakes from his teammates and coaches," said Teeples.
"Then kept going after that," she laughed.
After graduating from Black River Falls in 2009, Taylor spent 1 year at a prep school in Pennsylvania. He eventually landed on the UW-La Crosse basketball team but his former high school coach says Taylor didn't see much playing time and decided to transfer to Grinnell with its run and gun offense.
"That coach told him when he decided he was going to Grinnell, he said there's probably going to be some opportunities for us to go after some NCAAA records with you," said Brian Jensen, Taylor's former coach at Black River Falls.
"I don't think anyone had any idea that it would happen this soon and it would be this amazing," he added.
"We're all very excited for him, proud of him, love him so much. I wouldn't know anyone else who deserves it more than him," said Teeples.

As Seen on TV! Restoring Hair with LASERS!!!!!!
The author's rapidly-expanding forehead.
Anyone who watches TV, reads magazines, or flips through catalogs has seen some interesting products. Maybe they seem plausible to you, maybe they don't. However, a little investigation shows they are based less on science and well…actually working, and more on wishful thinking. At worst they're actual con-jobs, designed to separate you from your money as efficiently as possible (which I guess is a certain standard of success). As a result, we at Double X Science bring you "As Seen on TV!" In these features, we'll look at some of the products shilled on talk shows and infomercials, items lurking between the articles you read in magazines, or things you might find on the shelves of the stores where you shop.
Night on Baldhead Mountain
Lasers (without sharks)
The smell of frying follicles
|The author engages in home laser hair restoration, while his cats
meow around his feet.
- Hair loss in its most common forms is hormonal, so it's unclear to me that light (whether laser or otherwise) has anything to do with it. Hair removal can be achieved with lasers, but that involves causing damage to hair follicles, not using anything intrinsic to light.
- Lasers are simply very monochromatic light sources, that use synchronization of atoms on the microscopic level to do their business. There's nothing in a laser that isn't in ordinary light bulbs, though you can make things far more intense with a laser. However, high intensity brings us back to laser hair removal, not restoration.
- As always, if a product sounds miraculous, it's probably bunkum. If all it took to regrow hair was a glorified laser pointer, nobody would be bald! LED lasers are cheap and ubiquitous; we could all restore our hair without paying a company $700 (and listen to the music on inexpensive headphones, to boot).

That Verizon (VZ) bond offering that the market is awaiting just keeps on mushrooming, and by the time it's supposed to get done this week it might not just beat Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) record $17 billion bond sale, it may triple that deal in size. To recap, Verizon is looking to raise money to help fund its $130 billion buyout ofVodafone Group's (VOD) stake in Verizon Wireless, and the size of the deal was initially expected to be somewhere just north of $20 billion.
Big, sure, but why not go outrageously big? Over the course of the day, the value of the deal's order book has been variously reported by market participants as $75 billion, then $100 billion, meaning that's how much investor interest had been expressed. Now the Wall Street journal is reporting that the deal could exceed $40 billion, both Reuters and Bloomberg are reporting that the deal could end up being somewhere between $45 and $49 billion in size. Stay tuned.

With each new release added to Lugosi Wines' offerings, the Bela Lugosi collection will exemplify the distinct qualities of Bela Lugosi, the man, in a unique compilation of outstanding wines.
Lugosi Wines is proud to announce the release of the first vintage of the signature series wines. The Domingo Hermanos Winery in Argentina produced this vintage exclusively for Lugosi Wines. The vineyards are located in Salta, Argentina, and at 7200 feet altitude, are one of the highest in the world. The label artwork is by Argentinean citizen, Bruno Fernandez. Only 1200 hand numbered bottles were produced.
Go here to order a bottle, or, like me, a casket of the stuff. Hic.
While we're on the subject of all things Lugosi - head over to Carfax Abbey to read Matthew Coniam's wonderfully scrupulous post on Lugosi's Monogram movies... Great stuff - goes down well with a nice Lugosi Malbec!

Cryptorchidism very likely has a genetic component and yes, dogs with one undescended testicle usually only suffer a slight drop in fertility. As to fishing for the testicle- if it's not descended now, it's not going to and the plan to neuter is a good one.

From school reports
OXFORD – Although the Rebels only practiced in helmets and shorts, Ole Miss coach Houston was pleased with the pace of Friday's opening workout.
"It was a good first day," said Nutt, starting his second season here. "There was a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of guys jumping around out here. The key is keeping that enthusiasm all the way to the 15th practice. That was a good start, though."
Nutt said he could see that the players held on to quite a bit from last season, which ended with a Cotton Bowl victory against Texas Tech.
"Even though we didn't have pads on, you could tell that was a lot of retention," Nutt said. "There was quite a bit of difference between today and this time last year. Now, we just have to keep improving."
Nutt said he was impressed by the speed of his defense.
"Everybody just seemed to be flying to the football," Nutt said. ".They are into every play and encouraging everybody."
On the offensive side of the ball, Nutt was happy to see junior Jevan Snead behind a line that returned three starters from a year ago.
"It is so good when you have an experienced quarterback, like Jevan," Nutt said. "He started really good."
The Rebels will continue spring drills today at 10 a.m. in the indoor practice facility on campus. Practice is open to the public.
n Mississippi State: The Bulldogs will tackle their third workout of the spring today at 10 a.m. It'll be the team's first drills in full pads.

Sanofi Supports the International Diabetes Federation and the Chinese Diabetes Society to Launch Study on Type 1 Diabetes in China
Sanofi today announced a partnership with the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the Chinese Diabetes Society (CDS) to support the launch of an innovative study named '3C Study on Type 1 Diabetes in China – Coverage, Cost and Care'. The study aims to gather data and information on the coverage, cost and care for people with Type 1 diabetes in China. The results will be used to advocate for Type 1 diabetes improved care. The '3C Study on Type 1 Diabetes in China' will be carried out in Beijing and Shantou, Guangdong Province, at primary, secondary, and tertiary healthcare institutions, and the results are expected to be announced at the World Diabetes Congress in December 2011 in Dubai.
Type 1 diabetes is a form of diabetes mellitus that results from autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. The disease is fatal unless treated with multiple injection of insulin daily such as Basal Bolus or continuous infusion of insulin for the life time. The disease is often diagnosed in individuals of young age, and people with Type 1 diabetes risk suffering from complications such as blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, or amputation if the disease is not well controlled.
Riccardo Perfetti, Vice President, Medical Affairs from Sanofi mentioned: "Based on our long standing expertise as a leader in diabetes care, we realized that therapeutic innovations alone are not enough to achieve the optimal patient outcome. Our goal is to provide comprehensive care that best serves the needs of patients on their journey of managing diabetes; this project represents an important step toward this commitment where we contribute to understand the needs of people with Type 1 diabetes in China and help them manage their disease."
Professor Jean-Claude Mbanya, President of IDF personally presided over the launch ceremony of the study held in Beijing, China. He pointed out that: "The '3C Study on Type 1 Diabetes in China' marks a new milestone in the fight against Type 1 diabetes in China and worldwide. Specifically, it aims to describe critical components of Type 1 diabetes such as coverage, disease burden, health economics, and status of care. This study also exemplifies the shared commitment of the international and Chinese scientific communities and leading providers of diabetes care such as Sanofi."
Professor Ji Linong, President of CDS, added that: "The '3C Study on Type 1 Diabetes in China' will build a foundation for a Type 1 diabetes registry with the ultimate objective of transforming clinical practice and policy environment to improve the standard of care. According to the available data, there are at least 1 million people with Type 1 diabetes in China. The study is expected to shed some new light on the impact of Type 1 diabetes and the situation of patient care."
Fabrice Baschiera, General Manager, Pharmaceutical Operations, Sanofi China, said: "Changes have to start with a deep understanding of the situation. It is our responsibility to work in this field and it is an honor to support the '3C Study on Type 1 Diabetes in China'". In addition to China, Sanofi also supports Type 1 research and education with many academic and patients associations all over the world.
