I haven't played the game, but I know that it has multiple endings and this being a 13 ep show, we're probably only going to get one. So there's that...
Ep 3 was pretty cool. I stupidly laughed at the word 'cracker' the first few times it was brought up. I hope Daichi gets a chance to shine with his Avatars soon... I'll give him mondo points for hijacking a track and crashing it into the creature in ep one, but he's been pretty lame ever since.
Spoiler :
I really wish that the ep count was longer though, since even without playing the game things feel a bit rushed. Killing off Keita just doean't leave as much of an impact when we just met him in that episode, and the boss fight could have been quite a bit more epic. I'm still enjoying it quite a bit, however.
Oh, also Sentai licensed this today, so thats cool.

On Sunday, May 14, 1961—Mother's Day—scores of angry white people blocked a Greyhound bus carrying black and white passengers through rural Alabama. The attackers pelted the vehicle with rocks and bricks, slashed tires, smashed windows with pipes and axes and lobbed a firebomb through a broken window. As smoke and flames filled the bus, the mob barricaded the door. "Burn them alive," somebody cried out. "Fry the goddamn niggers." An exploding fuel tank and warning shots from arriving state troopers forced the rabble back and allowed the riders to escape the inferno. Even then some were pummeled with baseball bats as they fled.
From This Story

A few hours later, black and white passengers on a Trailways bus were beaten bloody after they entered whites-only waiting rooms and restaurants at bus terminals in Birmingham and Anniston, Alabama.
The bus passengers assaulted that day were Freedom Riders, among the first of more than 400 volunteers who traveled throughout the South on regularly scheduled buses for seven months in 1961 to test a 1960 Supreme Court decision that declared segregated facilities for interstate passengers illegal.
After news stories and photographs of the burning bus and bloody attacks sped around the country, many more people came forward to risk their lives and challenge the racial status quo. Now Eric Etheridge, a veteran magazine editor, provides a visceral tribute to those road warriors in Breach of Peace: Portraits of the 1961 Mississippi Freedom Riders. The book, a collection of Etheridge's recent portraits of 80 Freedom Riders juxtaposed with mug shots from their arrests in 1961, includes interviews with the activists re-flecting on their experiences.
Etheridge, who grew up in Carthage, Mississippi, focuses on Freedom Riders who boarded buses to Jackson, Mississippi, from late May to mid-September 1961. He was just 4 years old at the time and unaware of the seismic racial upheaval taking place around him. But he well remembers using one entrance to his doctor's office while African-Americans used another, and sitting in the orchestra of his local movie theater while blacks sat in the balcony.
"Looking back," Etheridge says, "I can identify with what the white South African photographer Jillian Edelstein has said: 'Growing up white in apartheid South Africa entitled one to massive and instant privilege.'"
A few years ago, Etheridge, who lives in New York City and has worked for Rolling Stone and Harper's, began looking for a project to engage his budding photographic skills. During a visit with his parents in Jackson in 2003, he was reminded that a lawsuit had forced the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission, an agency created in 1956 to resist desegregation, to open its archives. The agency files, put online in 2002, included more than 300 arrest photographs of Freedom Riders."The police camera caught something special," Etheridge says, adding that the collection is "an amazing addition to the visual history of the civil rights movement." Unwittingly, the segregationist commission had created an indelible homage to the activist riders.

With hand thrown marks the dog cues not only off the gun, but the motion of the thrower. With a winger the sound of a shot arrives long after the mark is in the air (speed of light vs. sound). Advanced noise makers (duck quacking or horn) help to focus the dog some. The longer the mark the greater the separation between "seeing and hearing" and shots. My young dogs have ALWAYS marked better with hand thrown marks. That's why many of my marking setups are "stand alones".Quote:
She HAS to learn to handel WINGER thrown marks.... Its just the way it is. I hang a white shirt on the winger... The wingers release has a way to incorporate a shot as the winger is activated,,, But I dont think the dog associates the winger and white shirt, the same way she associates the real BB..
I have paid attention and asked myself if the throw from the winger is similar in nature as far a distance and height of arc, ect,, and I do believe I have the winger set to be very similar.
On a side note, with long marks and shooting at the top of the arc, the dog often will not hear the sound before the fall is on the ground. Which means keying off a real thrower's motion is often critical. Wingers do not provide that "early motion".
I use wingers for close in hunt test setups (100 yards or less) where the focus is more on "routines" rather than marking. In addition (at short distances), the sound of the winger is very close to the initial release of the mark. I use to think that my dogs "needed" to mark off wingers, but moving on to "stand alones" proved more effective in developing marking skills in the long run (pun intended). Plus, the "helper" (if needed) is exactly on the same page as the handler. ;)

- Description
The open pit at the top of the Homestake Gold Mine in Lead, South Dakota beautifully exposes a series of Tertiary rhyolite dikes that were the focus of the hydrothermal system that formed this rich gold deposit. The open pit is no longer active, but it is a great opportunity for geologists to get a glimpse into the uppermost crust of the Earth.
Note that when viewing this in Google Earth, I have placed it in a position that corresponds with the shooting location as seen in the current satellite imagery. Unfortunately, the digital elevation model and the satellite imagery are not well registered at this time, so although I took this GigaPan at the edge of the open pit, it appears to be quite a distance from the edge when one compares it with the topography in Google Earth.

text: We just found out that our 12 yr old MH female Annie has a tumor the size of a baseball in her abdomen. My good friend and vet says if we do surgery to remove it we could maybe get her another 6 months, or we can keep her on pain meds and enjoy her as long as we can, he is thinking 2 to 3 weeks. She has a hard time getting up but once she is up she finds a bumper and just wants to retrieve. I dont know what to do. Any thoughts? Im a little worried at 12 she wouldnt make it through surgery. Any advice appreciated.

Discover Kingston
Kingston is a home-away-from-home not only for students from Queen's, but also for those attending the Royal Military College and St. Lawrence College - more than 30,000 in all!
Described by students as both "quaint" and "eclectic," Kingston is big enough to provide all the conveniences of modern life, and small enough for students, staff, and faculty to feel instantly comfortable and at home.
- In 2012, Kingston ranked as the 3rd best place to live in Canada (and in 2015, the 6th best place to retire!), according to moneysense.ca.
- According to Instagram im 2014, Kingston is the happiest city in Canada.
- In 2013, the BBC listed Kingston as one of the top 5 university towns in the world.
The City of Kingston is located in eastern Ontario, where Lake Ontario flows into the St. Lawrence River, about 200 km from Canada's capital city of Ottawa, about 250 km from the centre of our provincial capital of Toronto, and about 300 km from Montréal, Québec.
Tourism and Culture
There is a lot to do and see in Kingston. Here are just a few links to get you started:
- Rideau Canal National Historic Site of Canada: a UNESCO world heritage site
- Thousand Islands Region
- Kingston Public Market: the oldest continually running market in Canada
- Wolfe Island Ferry: find a schedule

A Little History
Founded in 1673 on a First Nation site called Katarokwi, the settlement was eventually referred to as "the King's Town" in honour of King George III, with the name shortening to "Kingston" by 1788. Kingston is also nicknamed the "Limestone City" because of the many historic buildings built with local limestone.
Kingston has a storied military and political history. Kingston was chosen as the first capital of Canada on February 15, 1841, and served in that role until 1844. Kingston was also the home of Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald.
There are 21 National Historic Sites of Canada located in Kingston, and in 2007, the Rideau Canal, along with the fortifications at Kingston, was designated a World Heritage Site.
Kingston is also one of the most consistently windy cities in Canada (take note, sailors!). While temperatures have been known to reach upwards of 34 degrees Celsius in the summer and as low as -34 degrees Celsius in the winter, on most days Lake Ontario has quite a moderating effect on Kingston weather:
- an average January day charts a low temperature of -12° and a high of -3°;
- an average July day charts a low of +16° and a high of +25°;
- over the course of the year, Kingston sees a lot more rain than snow
Queen's has its own weather station too. The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science has been measuring temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, and solar radiation since the spring of 2004 from the top of Walter Light Hall.

columbian or black fin sharks are also brackish fish. the interesting thing about them however is they fluctuate from fresh water as juveniles to full blown marine as adults, however they do best with brackish. also read that fluctuating the salt levels effects their demeanor.
Proper bw conditions?
As long as the subject of bw conditions have come up, could somebody please state the ideal bw conditions for keeping mollies please? I have recently been blessed by the fish stork with 30 new molly fry and want to set my new 75-gallon up as bw for them. Since this will be my first bw tank, I am collecting any info I can on the subject.Fish feel pain, too!!

I'm new here but have watched this Forum for some time, I have 2 - 40B Brackish tanks at sg of 1.008 and will fluxuate it after water changes down to 1.003 then back up slowly to 1.008. 1 tank has about 10 Fiddlers and 2 Red claws, 4 neon tetras and a CAE. The other tank has 2 Violet Gobies, 2 mollys, a few ghost shrimp, 2 SAE and a clown loach, this tank gets the same treatment that the crab tank does and all of my friends have been in these conditions for over a year and only 1 loss of a fiddler due to a fight has been experienced. After a WC a couple of fiddlers will molt, the Gobies eat like drunk horses and keep devouring my frog bit, the loach and SAE's all enjoy zucchini and sweet potato from time to time
The crabs like Java moss (and any other plant that gets put in there, java fern and val.) for snacks and shrimp pellets or algae wafers with some flake food for a staple. The Gobies will be getting a new home soon because they are about 10" long now (Not bad for a wally world find at $2.98). A pond snail out break in the Goby tank is forcing the movement of them to the top of the list. Looking forward to learning more as time goes on.
This thread is over a year and half old....Current tanks:
37G FW - 3 Pearl Gourami, 4 Black Mollies, approximately 20+ Molly Fry, 5 Assassin Snails | 10G Planted FW - 14 Molly Fry, rocks, DW and an Anubias Nana - journal

Hard isn't always more resilient or useful
Fenella Saunders
It's common for roboticists to take design inspiration from living creatures, but such biomimetic machines are usually modeled on animals with skeletons, either internal ones like those of humans or external shells like insects have. But chemist George Whitesides and his colleagues at Harvard University think soft-bodied organisms—such as squid, starfish and worms—have been overlooked for too long. The researchers have created prototype "soft robots" that can fill niches where no hard body could go.
The robots are fabricated using a technique that Whitesides pioneered, called soft lithography. The name is taken from photolithography, the manufacturing process used to make most electronic components. Light shines through a patterned mask to expose a thin polymer film, and the regions not in the desired pattern can then be dissolved away. "It's a fantastically successful technology, it's capable of going to very high resolution and very small features, and it's also fantastically expensive," says Whitesides.
In soft lithography, instead of using light, the team makes a mold that they cast in a soft polymer, a much simpler and relatively inexpensive fabrication process. "We either use the flat surface of that casting to print, or we seal its recessed surface to make channels," says Whitesides. The channels have been used for microfluidics, networks that pump around chemical reagents for purposes such as a DNA analysis. Whitesides and his group made the conceptual leap from pumping fluid to creating locomotion. "We take that channel structure and pump air into it, which means it bends and twists and makes the elements of a robot," Whitesides says.
The limbs and trunk of the robot are molded with an internal pattern of chambers that looks a bit like a simplified snowflake—a central "backbone" channel with tubes branching off from either side. The robot is made of two polymer layers, one that stretches a lot, and one that is firmer. When air is pumped into the limbs, the chambers in the stretchy material expand like balloons, but the firmer material does not stretch, so the limb curls up around the nonexpanding side. Frictional forces with the ground create lateral push from the back side of the limb as it curls, so the whole structure bends forward away from the expanding balloons. With a clever sequence of limb actuation, the robot can creep its way along.
"It's not an elaborate concept, but the kind of motion you can achieve this way is really pretty remarkable," says Whitesides. "You get very interesting movements in these limbs with very simple actuation and control." Whitesides points out that although the motions and the body plan of the robot do resemble those of soft animals such as starfish, their aim is to mimic the function rather than the mechanism.
As the researchers report in the December 20 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the U.S.A., so far the robot has two main gaits: a wavelike undulation and a lurching crawl. Each limb is inflated and controlled separately to create the movement sequence. By combining the gaits, the team was able to demonstrate a capability that a hard-bodied robot would find rather difficult: squeezing under a very low barrier. The robot, about 0.9 centimeter tall when flattened, was able to get through a gap 2 centimeters high. The team first had the robot crawl up to the edge of the barrier. It then used a series of undulations, looking a bit like a breakdancer trying to limbo, to pass underneath.
The walking soft robot is about 13 centimeters long, and it achieves modest speeds—up to about 24 meters per hour. "If you think about worms and snails, they don't really leap across the countryside," says Whitesides. "So it's not doing badly; it has about the speed of a starfish."
There is no inherent physical limit to the size that the machines could be scaled up to, says Whitesides, and the team has already made models twice the size that can carry payloads. "If you want to carry sensors, you want something that has a little bit of oomph to it," he says. The group has also made six-limbed devices that act as robotic grippers, which have successfully curled up to gingerly lift fragile objects, such as a raw egg.
Video courtesy of Robert F. Shepherd.
Whitesides thinks the gripper version of the robot could be a helpful surgical tool to delicately hold fragile tissues, particularly during laparoscopic procedures that use only a few small incisions. The walking robot is quite stable on uneven ground, making it potentially useful for search-and-rescue work in hazardous environments—an application of particular interest to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which sponsors the research. Because the robots are molded, they also have the potential to be cheap to produce. "They could crawl under and over rubble, even if it's shifty and unstable," says Whitesides. "And then if the roof falls in, you don't care because after all they're not very expensive to begin with."
Larger versions of the soft robot could be untethered, carrying their own compressors. But Whitesides points out that the majority of robots in use today remain wired, and that tethers can be useful, for example to carry an optical fiber for video transfer. "There is still a lot to be done; this is the module-zero version of the new technology," he says. "But we think of these things as being less structures that go off entirely on their own, and more ones that are going to be assistants to people."

Sheriff: Man arrested after police chase, crash
Suspect was ejected from vehicle during crash
JANESVILLE, Wis. - A Milwaukee man was arrested following a police chase and a crash Saturday, the Rock County Sheriff's Office said.
At about 5:30 p.m. Saturday, a deputy from the Rock County Sheriff's Office saw a Chevy Caprice heading northbound on South County Highway D near West Bass Creek Road in Rock Township with license plates that did not belong on the vehicle.
The deputy initiated a traffic stop and the vehicle turned east onto West Bass Creek Road and came to a stop.
A few seconds later, the driver of the vehicle accelerated eastbound on West Bass Creek Road, reaching speeds up to 70 mph with the deputy following, according to a Rock County Sheriff's Office news release.
After traveling approximately one mile from the initial stop, the driver lost control on a curve on South Duggan Road. The Caprice left the east shoulder of South Duggan Road, struck a tree, spun around and came to rest facing the opposite direction.
The driver was ejected from the vehicle during the crash and fled from the scene on foot, according to the news release.
Several deputies and officers from the city and town of Beloit responded to the area to search for the man.
A K-9 from the city of Beloit tracked the man to a residential area on West Bass Creek Road and along the bank of the Rock River. During the search of the vehicle, a cellphone was located wedged in the dashboard. Deputies used that phone to call 911, which allowed them to find out who the phone belonged to and any addresses associated with it, according to the release.
The cellphone was linked to a woman with prior police contacts at 2906B W. Bass Creek Road.
On arrival, deputies made contact with a neighbor, who said the residence at 2906B has been vacant since the beginning of December. In checking the area around the residence at 2906B, deputies discovered a kitchen door on the backside of the premises standing wide open.
Deputies entered the residence where they located the suspect, identified as Rodney T. Moore, 36, of Milwaukee, hiding in the bathroom, seated in a standup shower with a space heater running.
Moore later admitted he used to stay at that residence with his ex-girlfriend, whom the cellphone belonged to, according to sheriff's officials.
Moore was taken into custody and was transported to Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center in Janesville. Moore was treated and released and later transported to the Rock County Jail, where he was arrested on numerous charges, including: operating a motor vehicle without owner's consent, fleeing, hit-and-run, operating under the influence of a controlled substance, operating while suspended, operating after registration suspension, criminal trespass to dwelling and criminal damage to property.
Sheriff's officials said Moore was also arrested on six outstanding warrants through the Beloit Police Department and on a parole violation through Wisconsin Department of Corrections.

Last month the European Commission proposed adding a new "right to be forgotten" to privacy law. This deceptively simple idea is a ticking time-bomb in the booming internet economy. It is also essential – both for Europeans and Americans – to protect personal privacy in the age of pervasive social media and cloud computing.
The stakes are huge. Two weeks ago Facebook announced an initial public offering that could value the company at up to $100bn. Facebook is worth so much because of the data it holds on its 845m users. Yet it succeeds only to the extent it can monetise the data. If a sizeable fraction of users could easily compel Facebook to delete all their personal data, the company's value would be lower.
Google's new privacy policy, released last month, points even more firmly to the need for a right to be forgotten. The new policy is clear: it explains Google's practices of maintaining digital files on its users indefinitely; of identifying its users across all its services; and of integrating this data across all Google's digital services – search, Gmail, Picasa, YouTube, Earth, Voice, Android, Chrome, Wallet, etc.
I learnt to appreciate the power of electronic data integration as a White House counterterrorism aide, working to enhance government electronic surveillance powers. But Google, by gaining the consent of its users in the form of a quick tick, has secured the power to build an electronic surveillance apparatus that far exceeds anything the Bush administration tried to do.
A right to be forgotten would make the counterterrorism mission harder. My support for it, however, comes from my recent experience as a parent. Last year my children's school shifted to a system called "Google Apps for Education". It works brilliantly, and cost the school little or nothing. But as Google's policy makes clear, even though the school retains ownership of the students' content and may demand its deletion, Google intends to integrate data derived from students' school activities with data from any of its other digital services – and use this to make money. Forever.
The potential is vast. For instance, Gmail has a contact-tracking feature, which integrates with Picasa, its free product for managing digital photographs. Picasa has a tagging feature that can tell Google where and when photographs were taken, and an advanced facial recognition feature that allows Google to identify individuals it has seen in one photo in any photo in the user's digital library. Integrating just these three services with Google's core search function could allow Google to locate individuals in virtually any digital photograph on the internet, and so derive where each user has been, when, with whom and doing what. Add YouTube to the mix, or Android smartphones, or whatever other database Google develops or buys – the implications are breathtaking.
So my children's school, like a growing number nationwide, bought its new email system with the currency of its students' future privacy. It was a rational decision. Like hundreds of millions of people worldwide, the school accepted the short-term value of a cloud-based information service subsidised by the long-term monetisation of user data.
Given this reality, the only answer is a fundamental change in national privacy laws. Individual users of cloud services should have a legal right to be forgotten that supersedes whatever authorisations they (or their surrogates) granted when they created their accounts. Users should, in other words, have the right to change their minds as they learn the implications of that little box they unthinkingly ticked while signing up for the latest, greatest, cheapest cloud-based information service.
Importantly, a right to be forgotten must recognise that the power, as well as the privacy risk, of big data comes principally from the metadata – the information on where, when and by whom the data were created. In counterterrorism, metadata often give us the crucial first lead that allows deeper scrutiny. In commerce, metadata make huge databases indexable, searchable, connectable, useful and valuable. Google's privacy policy, like those of many internet companies, stresses the protections it affords customers' content, but treats metadata as business records it can retain and manipulate indefinitely.
The distinction between user content and the service provider's metadata is complex but central to whether a right to be forgotten will have teeth. A meaningful right to be forgotten should require companies to purge not just the content of an email or a photograph, but all the metadata associated with that user.
Establishing such a right would, however, impose uneven economic costs. Companies that depend on monetising user data, such as Google and Facebook, would be badly hit. Old-fashioned technology companies – those that charge for hardware, software or services – would suffer less. We can expect lobbying from both sides. The debate will be rich with irony because so many of the new companies posture as paladins of liberty and social progress.

Thanks for posting that info as well! Very interesting.Before you implement any approach to address what you've labeled a resource guarding issue, I'd strongly suggest you do two things: (1) As DoubleHaul suggested, whenever a dog has a sudden behavioral change, it's worth looking into whether some physical or health issue might be involved. (2) PLEASE read this post on Patricia McConnell's blog about resource guarding treatment and prevention: http://www.patriciamcconnell.com/the...and-prevention
If you're not familiar with Patricia McConnell, you can find more information about her here: http://www.patriciamcconnell.com/about-patricia. Her books and blog are wonderful reading. Her dissertation research was on communication between sheep herders and their dogs, she's a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist with many years in private practice (including working with 100s if not 1,000s of dogs with resource guarding issues), is well versed in current scientific literature on dog behavior and learning, has bred border collies and trained them for herding, and above all, is thoughtful and not dogmatic about all things dog. If I had a dog with a behavioral issue, her work is the first place I'd go to begin to seek guidance. Like you, she lives in Wisconsin. I don't think she's in private practice any longer, but the business she founded is still alive and well and could be a great place to seek a consultation if you think that's appropriate: http://www.dogsbestfriendtraining.com.
Good luck with your pup.

|Art of Casting Analysis, refinement of the cast
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Greg H
There have been a lot of questions like this here and on other boards I visit. I agree, the short answer is 'Too much oomph' in the cast. Relax a little and let the rod sling the line out.
It just struck me the other day - near the beginning of the movie RRThoughIt, the father is teaching the boys to write. They hand in their work and he replies, "Good, now half as many words". So it is with casting, "Good, now with half the energy" ... just make a firm stop.
Line Kick
I may be wrong but it could be just a case of to much line speed combined with the weight of the popper that when line turns over it hinges at the end causes he "L"
Try slowing down the cast to allow the line to turn over and just drop. I would think that if you make the same cast without the popper and the line turns over and then bounces straight back rather than forming the "L" at the end it is a case of to much speed or power on the forward stroke.
line kick
Hello all. I recently put a new line on my 7wt for seeking bass and wanted to get back into fly fishing in a hobby.
I went outside my house and made a few practice casts and was using a small piece of yarn.
Went out yesterday and completely forgot my box of bass poppers and clousers at home. So I got to the river and tied on the biggest blue gill popper I had on me. I was using a RIO 10lb test 7.5ft leader. and started casting.
Every cast when the line would unravel when the fly reached the end and the leader straightened out the line would kick violently and make an L shape with the last few feet of the fly line and not make a night straight cast.
Today I went out and tried to practice again and was using small strike indicators and was still getting the same violent kick. I was only able to get a few casts that would result in the line straightening out into a nice cast. but generally there was such a fine line between underpowered to much and just enough.
So I have to ask what is it im doing wrong? is my leader to stout for what I was casting? do I need to step it down. is a 7wt to heavy for practicing with small strike indicators, and small popers? or is it a technique that needs to be mastered? it just seems like there is to much of a fine line between to much and not enough. Also every once in a while i was getting a small trailing loop on my back cast.
If anyone has a good idea that would be great.
Sean Scott

Dr Luke Chen, CEO - Pharmigene
Treatment of Pompe disease, an inherited disorder caused by build-up of a complex sugar called glycogen in the body's cells, was unknown to the scientific fraternity until Dr Y T Chen discovered the only life-saving treatment. Dr Chen, a professor at Duke University Medical Center and Academia Sinica in Taiwan, and his team found that patients with specific genotypes are more susceptible to the fatal Stevens Johnson syndrome (SJS)/ Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) as compared to the general population.
The breakthrough discovery by Dr Chen attracted healthcare experts and venture capitalists and this led to the establishment of Pharmigene in 2005. The company, which aims to popularize and commercialize Dr Chen's discoveries in order to save human lives, won the BioSpectrum Asia Pacific Bioscience Industry Emerging Company of the Year for 2011.
Pharmigene, now striding under the guidance of CEO Dr Luke Chen, possesses patents in key regions, such as the US, Europe and China. Dr Luke Chen has years of leadership experience in marketing, sales, business development, product development, manufacturing, licensing and has held partnerships with companies, including Agilent Technologies, Hewlett Packard, Incyte, Clontech and Scimagix.
Pharmigene has obtained ISO 13485/9001 and GMP certifications and is manufacturing its DNA genetic tests under the most stringent guidelines. It has validated the tests with clinical studies that involved thousands of patients. Pharmigene's tests have earned the CE Mark and have obtained IVD clearance from the Department of Health in Taiwan.
Pharmigene's HLA-B* 1502 Assessment Test was selected as the key screening test for a clinical prospective study that involved 27 hospitals and 4,500 patients. It has also received patent "Risk Assessment for Adverse Drug Reactions" in Singapore and has secured patents related to genetic-based methods to fight SJS and TENS in the key global regions.

For many breast cancer patients getting well is a journey. The healing process takes time due to recovery from treatment and necessary surgeries. For some breast cancer patients who have undergone radiation or surgery on lymph nodes the journey to wellness can be prolonged by a common and chronic condition called lymphedema.
Lymphedema is the swelling of body parts, most often an extremity, caused by the abnormal accumulation of lymph, a protein rich fluid that circulates in the lymphatic system. Lymphedema can happen to any cancer patient in which one or more lymph nodes are removed or treated with radiation. In breast cancer patients, lymphedema most often occurs in the upper extremities, breast/chest and upper trunk. "Sometimes after a surgery or radiation treatment the fluid in the lymphatic system becomes disrupted and accumulates in areas of the body," says Tammy Stockero, RN and Breast Care Navigator at Sansum Clinic. "While we aren't totally sure why this happens, the risk for developing lymphedema after breast cancer treatments can depend, in part, on the type of procedure you've had and how many lymph nodes were involved. And unfortunately, lymphedema becomes a lifelong risk for breast cancer patients with affected lymph nodes."
"It's important to notify your medical providers immediately if you are experiencing symptoms of lymphedema. The sooner a patient gets an evaluation the sooner we can prepare a treatment plan before a hardening of the underlying tissue develops," says Maureen Groves, PTA, MLD/CDT, Lymphedema Therapist with Sansum Clinic.
"You may feel a full sensation in the affected limb, your skin may feel tight, you may have decreased flexibility and you may notice clothing or jewelry not fitting on one particular area of the body." Luckily, for patients experiencing lymphedema there are effective treatments available to help reduce swelling, and lessen the condition. Barbara McCoy-Lawson, PT and Lymphedema Therapist with Sansum Clinic works with lymphedema patients to help prescribe the best treatments to suit their individual needs. "Lymphedema therapy for breast cancer, like all lymphedema treatments, includes some or all of the four steps of decongestive therapy: skin care, manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy/garments and remedial exercises," she shared. McCoy-Lawson recommends getting evaluated by a certified lymphedema therapist (CLT) to determine the right treatment plan, which may include manual lymphatic drainage (MLD). MLD is a type of very directed, gentle touch used to move excess lymphatic fluid to areas where it can drain better.
"Certified lymphedema therapists have gone through intensive training to learn how to do MLD correctly and we are very clear to people that it is not standard massage," says Groves. "Patients can be taught a self-administered form of simple MLD, but it is vital that the patient be guided through direct instruction given by the therapist." MLD is often used in conjunction with compression bandages/garments and lymphatic exercises while wearing those garments. Since the skin is stretched by lymphedema your therapist will also closely monitor it to avoid injury and infection and will give recommendations for the best ways to care for and moisturize the area.
"With the manual lymphatic therapy and assigned home exercises, there was a marked improvement of my symptoms within a few short weeks," Sansum Clinic patient Gloria Clements shared. "Sara Rodriguez, my CLT, also provided me additional information relative to healthcare issues that I found to be extremely helpful. Sara and the lymphedema therapy has been a godsend to me."
While lymphedema is a chronic, lifelong condition there are resources available to control and relieve symptoms. Speaking with your healthcare provider is the first step. If you are suffering from lymphedema, or think you could be at risk, Sansum Clinic offers lymphedema patients a wide range of services in our community, including:

By Errol Castens/NEMS Daily Journal
SHERMAN – Current and former residents will gather Saturday to commemorate Sherman's first 125 years.
The celebration will begin with a reception from 2 to 4 p.m. at Town Hall. Beginning at 5 p.m., musicians will perform in the park, and a fireworks show will cap the event at 8 p.m.
Organizers of the event will offer for sale copies of the Sherman history book/cookbook that was produced for the town's centennial, and an additional booklet will include both presettlement history and recent history.
Also in the volume are a host of personal recollections from current and former residents, as varied as Guy Brandon's story of narrowly escaping a tornado that hit Sherman, William White's memory of Sherman High School's 1961 seniors getting caught "decorating" the water tower and Jimmy Bryce Richey's tail-related tale of how his family's milk cow came to be known as "Nub."
As with all of Northeast Mississippi, Sherman was once Chickasaw territory. According to Mayor Ben Logan's recent compilation of the area's presettlement history, some of the nation's villages lay along the ridge that extends from Belden northwestward toward Sherman.
Sherman's centennial book noted that the land the town occupies was first deeded in 1836 – just four years after the forced removal of the Chickasaw people began – and the first settler, Reuben Jones, began living there in 1845.
Among early residents was one Jesse Irving Wade, born in 1849. A man reputed to have uncommon wisdom, he served a single term in the Mississippi Legislature and got a bellyful of it, refusing to stand for re-election. One account quotes him as saying, "You can't serve God and be a member of the Legislature."
Sherman was incorporated in March 1888 and reportedly adopted its name after the town of Sherman, Texas. It sits mostly in Pontotoc County, with smaller portions in Union and Lee counties.
The area's growth was fueled by the construction of the railroad from Memphis to Birmingham – now the BNSF – in 1885. In the early 20th century, the federal government began networking local roads into the Bankhead Highway, providing a paved road from Washington, D.C., to San Diego. It eventually became, through this area, U.S. Highway 78.
In recent decades, Sherman, with its highway access and proximity to Tupelo, has transformed from primarily a farming town to more of a bedroom community. It has seen infrastructure improvements from a new wastewater treatment plant and additional water and sewer service territory to community storm shelters sufficient to hold nearly two-thirds of the town's 650 people.
Alderman Martha Swindle said the community is looking forward to hosting both current and former residents for the commemoration.
"We want everyone to come help us celebrate Sherman," she said.

Dürr is expanding its capacities in the North American market with a new business location in Querétaro, Mexico. The modern industrial complex with a workforce of around 280 employees (incl. externals) was formally inaugurated on October 28 and provides 50 percent more production and office space than the past location.
"The new plant in Querétaro represents a key mainstay to be able to give the automotive industry even more effective support with its expansion drive in North America," said Ralf W. Dieter, CEO of Dürr AG. "In view of growing sales numbers, the automotive industry in the US and Mexico is increasingly investing in new factories and in modernizing existing production plants."
Dürr de México was founded as early as 1966. The company has since supplied almost all carmakers represented in Mexico with painting technology and other production equipment. For a number of years now, Dürr de México has also participated in handling orders placed by the aircraft industry.
Together with the US company Dürr Systems Inc., Dürr de México constitutes a powerful North America unit. The two companies are run by a shared management team. As part of the global production and engineering network of the Dürr Group, Dürr de México also supports large-scale projects in other regions of the world, such as in China and North Africa.
The construction of the new location in Querétaro in central Mexico is part of a global investment program with which Dürr adjusts its capacities in response to the growing volume of business. From 2009 to 2012, Group sales increased from € 1.1 to € 2.4 billion ($1.4 billion to $3.2 billion). Further growth is expected in 2013. Against this backdrop, Dürr plans to raise the level of investments to approx. € 50 million in the current year (2012: € 32.5 million).
At the end of September, the Group commissioned a new mechanical engineering location with over 600 employees in Shanghai. Dürr has also invested in newbuilds or in modernizing locations in Germany, South Africa, Poland, Brazil, and Switzerland. In Japan, a technology center with demonstration facilities is to be built in the near future.

Mark (Chad Allen), a trashy young gay man into motel-sex and coke, makes a sea change by agreeing to reside at a Christian halfway home, where the once-gay clientele are weaned away from homosexuality and into the arms of Jesus.
The surprise of this Robert Cary–directed film is that the couple who run Genesis House are given their say and not treated as vile and bigoted stereotypes. In fact, the deepest character by far is Gayle (beautifully played by Judith Light), an intelligent woman who has decided to save gay men because of the death of her own 16-year-old unrepentant gay son.
This is a pretty decent movie but not a great one: its ultimate message, that God's love applies also to gay love, is spooned out in a manner better befitting a TV movie or a soap opera. 96 minutes | Kendall Square

text: The Padres held Fan Fest 2011. I fielded ground balls, attended Heath Bell's pitching clinic and Chase Headley's batting clinic, and ran and slided around the bases on the infield. The United States Navy put on the biggest air show in San Diego's history with 300 planes flying in formation over the city, the bay, and PETCO Park while we were playing on the ballfield for the 100th Anniversary of the History of Naval Aviation. And the Miss Teen California pageant winners were there to welcome in the next baseball season. I visited with them, Padres' baseball legends like Randy Jones, and most of our current active roster. It was a great day in my own baseball fandom's history!

17 pounds honey
five pounds of frozen peeled mandarin oranges
4 sliced very good valencias
seven cloves
4 cinnamon sticks
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
1tbsp fleichmans rapid rise bread yeast
I have no raisins so I will add a half pound tomorrow after I get to the store.
Aereating with a fine ancient aquarium pump and yea olde philosophers airstone. Air lock it!
That is quite a pile of honey in the bottom of a carboy! Not used to seeing that as I do primary ferment in a bucket.
Water to three inches low/ will fill later after activity wans.
I started this batch in July for a party and it didn't quite get done on time. It still seemed to disappear though. The real recipe calls for an orange a gallon, 25 raisins, 1 cinnamon stick, one clove and a small pinch each of the other spices. I wish I had OB honey to use. You just cut the orange in eigths and jam it in the gallon jar. The mandarin oranges were why I cut down on valencias and messed up the final result. It finishes sweet and it tried to really finish sweet with the extra sugar in the mandarins. I took a half gallon of 1.040 sweet mead out for the party and refilled the carboy with a mixture of orange juice and apple juice which I sweetened to 1.040. This diluted the oversweet rest and it started working again and is down to 1.032 and I am hoping for a little dryer. Still time to start this. It likes 70's and low eighties and a dark place. It is done when it clears and the fruit starts to drop. Mines not done but it is pretty good still. I think it will be great for the Holidays. I also think a gallon is the wimp clause. I bet this stuff would be much better with a year or so of age on it.

I would recommend this item to a friend.
Nice Seamless lightweight, comfortable bra
April 23, 2014
The microfiber material feels soft against the skin. There is no underwire (as is often the case with seamless bras) and yet it has good support. I have worn this bra off and on for many years and keep coming back to it. Sorry to hear it is discontinued by amoeba??
Pros:seamless wire-free soft material

Detroit, Michigan - the summer of 1919
as photographed by Gladys Long
(click to enlarge)
This dramatic photograph of the Wadsworth fire in progress was sent to me by reader Bob Baltzell after my recent Wadsworth fire post. He wrote:
The notation on the Wadsworth picture was written by my mother many years after the picture was taken. As you see, she was off a year on the date. She spent much of her early years in Detroit and would have been 12 years old when the picture was taken. Her father, Edwin T. Long, worked at Hudson Motors and her mother, Carrie (Dunn) Long, and sisters ran a 'Tea Room' called The Rose Bowl near downtown.
The picture of my mother standing in front of the Rose Bowl sign is undated, but it would have been taken in the late '20s when my mother was in her early twenties and had not yet met my father. The family ran a boarding house and they served meals to the public in The Rose Bowl. They had a contract with the Burroughs Adding Machine Company to serve lunch to the men who came to Burroughs headquarters for training, so The Rose Bowl must have been close to company offices.
The family moved around a lot during the first thirty years of the 20th century but seemed to always go back to Detroit, I think because Edwin could find work there. Eventually, in the '30s, they ended up in California.
Thanks so much, Bob, for sharing these great photos and a bit of Detroit history. I can't help but wonder if my grandparents ever dined at The Rose Bowl. Or maybe Gladys and her sisters went to Corneilson's ice cream parlor for... well, ice cream!

How to Train Your Dragon 2 hits theaters this week, and as with any sequel, you know that it will have to up the ante for its Viking hero Hiccup. When we last saw him, he'd managed to convince save his father and the others from a giant dragon, losing his leg in the process. This time the danger is even greater, as a villain named Drago captures dragons and prepares for war. The reviews have been stellar: Grantland's Wesley Morris says the humans in How to Train Your Dragon 2 are "almost more graceful than the dragons', and the dragons could dance for Alvin Ailey;" NPR's Bob Mondello notes that the film "took inspiration from the first Star Wars trilogy — not a bad model for breathing new life, and yes, a bit of fire, into one of Hollywood's more nuanced animated franchises;" and the Wall Street Journal's Joe Morgenstern calls it "a movie the world needs." No wonder, then, that How to Train Your Dragon 2 is forecast to pull in $67 million at the box office. My only fear: Can I take my kids? Not only are battles big, but the stakes are supposed to be higher. I just hope it's not too traumatic.
Stocks also faced unexpected travails this week, including Eric Cantor's surprise primary loss and the unexpected success of a militant group in Iraq–and suffered for them. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.9% to 16,775.74 this week, its biggest weekly drop since April 11, while the S&P 500 dropped 0.7% to 1,936.16. The Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.2% to 4,310.65, snapping a four-week winning streak, and the small-company Russell 2000 finished off 0.2% at 1,162.68.
Boeing (BA) dropped 4.3% to $132.29 this week, making it the biggest loser in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Boeing fell after Emirates cancelled an order with Airbus (EADSY), raising concerns that more cancellations could follow, RBC cut its shares and Eric Cantor lost in a primary.
Tyson Foods (TSN) plunged 12% to $35.43 this week, making it the biggest loser in the S&P 500. Tyson won a bidding war for Hillshire Foods (HSH) this week–and probably overpaid.
Vodafone (VOD) fell 5.9% to $32.88, making it the Nasdaq 100′s biggest loser. Moody's put Vodafone's debt on review for a downgrade.
The Bancorp (TBBK) plunged 30% to $11.37 this week, earning it the honor of the biggest loser in the Russell 2000. The Bancorp said in a filing that the FDIC had demanded it to more to comply with the Bank Secrecy Act.
Strategas Research Partners' Jason Trennert contemplates this week's mild uptick in volatility:
It shouldn't come as any surprise to anyone who's been in this business for any length of time that banner headlines and cover stories in newspapers and magazines can sometimes be wonderful contrarian indicators. While it will be unlikely to rival Business Week's famous "The Death of Equities" cover story from August 1979, the FinancialTimes' "Volatility Plummets After Central Bank Interventions" earlier this week may wind up being similarly off the mark. Indeed, volatility (and concomitantly trading volume) has been almost painfully low in recent weeks. The VIX now rests at a mere 12.6. But as the Fates are wont to capriciously embarrass forecasters and other expensive "experts" at inconvenient times, two revolutions of sorts were to take place in less than 48 hours after the FT's banner headline – one within the Republican Party here at home and a far more serious one now playing out in Iraqi cities like Mosul and Tikrit.
Citigroup's Tobias Levkovich considers the S&P 500′s valuation and comes away feeling OK:
Investors continue to worry about valuation as the market scales higher but our normalized earnings yield gap analysis which captures both Cyclically Adjusted P/Es and the market-driven five-year forward swap contract assessment of the 10- year bond yield argues otherwise. At 1.4 standard deviations below average, there's a good reason to be upbeat as one can see a 92% probability of gains in the next year as valuation is in the one-to-two standard deviation below average area. In many respects we have great issue with using absolute CAPE since the correlation to one-year future returns would generate an R-squared correlation of only 0.06, while the five-year number picks up to 0.22, but few investors have the luxury to wait five years to perform before their clients probably take their money back. Thus, one has to string together a year-by-year track record and cannot look out too far anymore.
Unless of course, you do want to look out more than five years, in which case feel free to worry.

It was hard to stay cool in St. John's on Monday, and records from Environment Canada show there likely hasn't been a day like it in 30 years.
Meteorologist Ryan Rozinskis said Monday's high at St. John's International Airport of 31.2 C was the second-highest temperature on record for any day at the airport.
The highest temperature ever recorded at the airport was 31.5 C from July 6, 1983. Rozinskis said it the was first time in 17 years that a temperature above 30 C was reported from the airport.
"It's something we haven't seen in a while," said Rozinskis.
St. John's did not record the highest temperature across the province Monday. That honour belonged to Badger in central Newfoundland, which experienced a high of 31.3 C.
Gander had a single-day all-time high Monday with a temperature of 30.2 C. The previous single-day record for July 15 in Gander was 29.4 C in 1964.
The hot weather was likely appreciated by those who were able to take advantage of Monday's Orangemen's Day holiday, which generally applies only to government employees.
Meanwhile, a power outage affecting some parts of St. John's and Mount Pearl had an unfortunate casualty in Bowring Park. The pool and splash pad closed early Monday afternoon because of the outage. The pool was reopened at 4:30 p.m., but the splash pad remained closed for the day.
Alas, those who enjoyed Monday's sweltering heat will not like what is in the forecast for the rest of the week. A cold front moving into the province Monday night will see temperatures dip into the low 20s and high teens Tuesday through Sunday, according to Environment Canada's forecast.

Mom, as recovering Main Street manager, admired the stringent design regulations in Gatlinburg. Pigeon Forge is an all-American strip mall of a town. Downtown Gatlinburg is jammed with t-shirt, fast food, and candy stores, as well as other more upscale tourist shops. They are all housed in Tudor- or chalet-style buildings in neutral colors. New construction blends in. It saves this beautiful mountain valley from complete spoilage, but not pickups and Hog motorcycles from Confederate flags and horns which play 'Dixie.'
P.S. We had fantastic barbecue for lunch at Pardner's, in Bluff City, TN. (Ridgewood, a famed barbecue place nearby, was closed.)
