Carnival Vista creams dock will exiting port of Messina!
Report Abuse
That did not look like a proper dock for a ship that size. What do you think happened? It was the port pilot, who should be great at that port. Thank God, no one was on the smaller boats as far as the news report. I hope that is true. Wonder if the ship continued on or was delayed.
Report Abuse
I could not tell anything from this film clip about the dock the Vista was tied up to. You would hope it was big enough to accommodate such a huge ship and of course this seems like the 1st time this has happened.
Did those thrusters used to push away from the dock operate at too fast a speed to create that wave? I guess we will find out!
I assume it was the pilot but I don't know enough about this to say for sure though I imagine the buck has to stop with the captain.
Yes if there was no loss of life that's all that matters. The rest of it will be sorted out by the insurance cos. I suppose.
I also just have no idea if the ship had to stop to sort of fill out an accident report. I would imagine not as the video we saw should be enough and I'll bet there are others available too.
So any cruise plans?
Report Abuse
No. Mike would cruise every trip, but I want to go somewhere this Fall to hang out in one place, do a little sightseeing and walking, but mostly evenings in plazas or streets lined with cafes and local activity. Maybe Crete, maybe Italy again, but some part we have not been. Wish we could do both, but we already did the cruise early last Spring with DD and GD to the Caribbean on Princess Regal. Since we treat them, including airfare and hotels before and after, it is a bigger bite out of our travel budget. We like seeing them have fun though, so not complaining. We are lucky, grateful and very happy we can do it.
This was GD's 3rd cruise and she is now a cruise addict. Mike and I took a short cruise last year for our anniversary, in addition to the one we took with them. We had to tell her it was a cruise only for grownups - true from our POV.
What do you have in the works?
Report Abuse
We had a cruise on the Ovation planned for Nov. but RCI let some very rich guy charter the ship so that plan got changed in a hurry. Now its the Ovation out of Sydney in Dec. 2017.
We fly to upstate NY in Oct. to see my best man and his family whom we had not seen for over 20 yrs. until they came to Chi to attend our sons wedding last May.
Wow! Lots of choices for plazas and local activity. Madrid comes to mind as does probably many locales in South or Central America. Also Croatia, Berlin and Montenegro. A fb friend was just in Sicily BTW and posted tons of pics and from what I saw there is a lot to like in the way of what you are looking for. Consider Malta as well.
Have fun. Half of it is in the planning. .
Cheers, Larry.
Report Abuse
saw this on "that other website" .
My view was even better from the bridge overhang on the port side.
The description is slightly inaccurate. The ship wasn't fully sideways as theyve suggested. The stern was further away, but the stern was turning into the marina. It makes no sense why it even did this manoeuvre. When we arrived, the ship physically turned inside the port so that it was facing the correct way for departure. When it did depart, there is no reason why it just didn't go through the very wide channel between the marina and the monument at the port entrance.
All it had to do after pushing off was go straight through the huge gap aft first. I didnt get it at the time either.

Prudential, the UK's second-largest life insurer, got one over its biggest rival, Aviva, yesterday, poaching the head of its European operations, Tidjane Thiam, to replace its outgoing finance director Philip Broadley.
Mr Thiam, 45, has been one of the rising stars of the insurance industry over the past few years, and was only recently appointed to his new role as head of Aviva Europe. He is expected to join Prudential in April, with Mr Broadley leaving the company, after eight years in the job, at the end of May.
"Tidjane's diverse background and experience mean that he is well-suited to help lead Prudential to the next stage of its development," said Mark Tucker, Prudential's group chief executive. "He is widely respected in the industry and has a great reputation for optimising performance and value. I look forward to the strong contribution he will make to the board.
"I am very sorry Philip is leaving us. He will do so after eight years, during which time he has made a great contribution to Prudential and been a valued partner to me as chief executive."
Mr Thiam, a French citizen, has had a distinguished career in both the financial services industry and the political arena. Previous to joining Aviva in 2002, he was a Partner at McKinsey in Paris, and head of the company's financial institution group in France.
He is also a former chief executive of the National Bureau for Technical Studies in the Ivory Coast, where he was born, and spent a year as the country's minister for planning and development – surviving a political coup in 1999.
New Nation, the black newspaper, recently named Mr Thiam as the fifth most influential black man in the UK. He is one of only two black directors of companies in the FTSE 100.
"It's a great hire for Prudential," said Raghu Hariharan, an analyst at Fox-Pitt, Kelton. "It's now a great team, probably one of the most powerful in the UK life sector, and even in Europe. For Aviva, this is obviously a very big loss."
The poach is a coup for Prudential, and an embarrassment for its long-time rival Aviva. Relations between the pair have been frosty over the past 18 months after Aviva's failed bid for Prudential in March 2006.
Shares in Aviva closed down 4p at 684.5p, yesterday, giving the company a market value of £17.8bn.Reuse content

Last quote by Venus Williams
Venus Williams quotes
She played so unbelievable and I had to play defence the whole time it felt like. It's an unbelievable thing to watch Serena Williams play tennis, I have to say. I'd love more than anything to see her across the net from me on Saturday.feedback
Honestly, I probably just need to continue playing like I'm playing. I haven't played badly. I lost a set today. I was not happy about it. But my opponent deserved that set. So what else could I do? Try to get the next two. Growing up, all I wanted was to have an opportunity to play these tournaments. But then you get here and then you have an opportunity to inspire other people. It's more than a cherry on top. It's more than I dreamed of.feedback
Should I look across the net and believe the person across the net deserves it more? This mentality is not how champions are made. I'd like to be a champion, in particular this year. The mentality I walk on court with is: 'I deserve this.'.feedback
I have a lot to give, I have a lot to give to the game. I feel like I have a lot of great tennis in me. So anytime you feel that way, you continue. It's just the excitement of having the opportunity to compete at my best level. It's wonderful to start the year out with this appearance.feedback
Oh my gosh I'm so excited. I want to go further. I'm not happy just with this. I'm just so excited that I have another opportunity to play again.feedback
It's good (but) it's never enough. I've tasted it before and it's always a great feeling because it means, hey, I have an opportunity for the quarterfinals. That's what I'm going to go for.feedback
All I can say is it's been a wonderful, wonderful career for me full of positives. That's what I focus on.feedback
I pay attention and address situations that are noteworthy. That's been my past record, clearly.feedback
I have to talk about this every interview. I've played some of the greats.feedback
It's an honor and privilege to start that young.feedback
I'm not coming all the way to Australia for kicks and giggles. I'm here as a competitor.feedback
She played amazing.feedback
Well I know how to play tennis ... You know, I like to think I'm good at this. She hasn't had the years that I've had yet. Se hasn't had the gray hairs that I'm dying, the wrinkles that I'm hiding. You're trying to make me feel old now!feedback
Each player in the draw has an unbelievable ability to play tennis. There are some that have won more championships than others, but it's because we know how to play this game, and it's pretty serious stuff for us.feedback
What can you do except come back and play again?feedback

State Compensatory Education
State Compensatory Education (SCE) is defined in Texas law as programs and/or services designed to supplement the regular education program for students identified as at-risk of dropping out of school.
The purpose of State Compensatory Education is to increase the academic achievement and reduce the drop out rate of these identified students.
The goal is to provide a challenging and meaningful instructional program to close the achievement gap between children at-risk of dropping out of school and their peers.
Senate Bill 702 requires each school district to identify students who meet the state criteria for being at-risk of dropping out of school, provide appropriate services to these students and to document and evaluate the effectiveness of SCE programs/services in reducing any disparity in performance on assessment instruments or any disparity in the rates of high school completion between students who are identified as at-risk and students who are not at-risk. SCE funds must be supplemental to regular education funds in the district and cannot be used to meet state mandates. SCE funds must be redirected when evaluations indicate that programs and/or services are unsuccessful in producing desired results for students at-risk of dropping out of school.
House Bill 3459 amended certain Texas Education Codes to require that District and Campus Improvement Plans be the primary record supporting expenditures attributed to the SCE program and that the SCE program must be described in the Campus Improvement Plan to reflect campus specific activities. Programs must be based on campus needs assessments for students who are identified as at-risk.
RGCCISD adheres to the state guidelines for the identification of at-risk students. The identification process includes any student who is under the age of 21 who meets one or more of the state's thirteen at-risk criteria and is therefore in danger of dropping out of school.
Title I, Part A
Title I, Part A is part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, and is the foundation of the amendment known as No Child Left Behind. Title I funding is used to improving basic programs operated by states and local school districts across the nation. The funding is supplemental funding to and is used for resources to help schools with high concentrations of students from low-income families provide a high-quality education that will enable all children to meet the state's rigorous student performance standards. Title I, Part A supports schools in implementing either a school-wide program or a targeted assistance program. These programs must use effective methods and instructional strategies that are grounded in scientifically based research. Currently the Title I campuses in Weatherford ISD operate school-wide programs which enable the Title I resources to be used to upgrade the entire educational program on each campus.
The United States Department of Education targets states, districts, schools, and students with the "greatest need". Funds flow to the Texas Education Agency through a formula based upon the most recent Census count of poverty families residing in the state. Funds then flow from the state to school districts in Texas and then from districts to campuses based primarily on free and reduced lunch participation counts or other poverty measures. Schools served with Title I funds have higher than the district's average of poverty students. Intended beneficiaries of the funds are children who are academically disadvantaged, not necessarily economically disadvantaged.
This supplemental funding is typically used for additional instructional staff, research-based instructional materials, extended learning opportunities and professional development, enhancing parental involvement, providing extended learning time and for other activities designed to enable every student to succeed at the highest levels of performance. Weatherford ISD uses it's Title I funds on five elementary campuses that are designated as school-wide campuses which allow the supplemental resources to upgrade the entire educational program on these campuses.
Title I, Part C
The purpose of the Migrant Education Program is to design and support programs that help migrant students overcome the challenges of mobility, cultural and language barriers, social isolation, and other difficulties associated with a migratory lifestyle. These efforts are aimed at helping migrant students succeed in school and successfully transition to postsecondary education or employment. RGCCISD receives a limited amount of funding under this program, and therefore, enters into a "shared services arrangement" with Education Service Center Region I located in Edinburg, Texas. Staff at the service center work collaboratively with our district to ensure that students are identified and served.
Title II, Part A
Title II, Part A - Teacher and Principal Training and Recruiting (TPTR) Federal dollars provide supplemental funding to improve student achievement. The funds are used to elevate teacher and principal quality through recruitment, hiring and retention strategies and to maintain the number of highly qualified teachers in the classroom and highly qualified principals and assistant principals in schools. The program uses scientifically based professional development interventions and holds the district and schools accountable for improvements in student academic performance. These funds support a large portion of the professional development of staff in the RGCCISD. All schools and departments in RGCCISD benefit from Title II, Part A funds.

I've been a fan of Three-Dimensional photography since the 3D film Bwana Devil was released in 1952. When I heard Panasonic offered a 3D lens—the Lumix G 12.5mm f/12—for their mirrorless camera system I knew I had to get one. While apparently no longer available, some lenses are available through Amazon for $139.94. I'm sure you can find one at KEH Camera, eBay or all the usual used camera sources.
When the Lumix G 12.5mm f/12 is attached, the Lumix Mirrorless cameras left-eye and right-eye images are captured simultaneously by the two lenses, and recorded using the side-by-side method. You can view them on a Panasonic Viera 3D TV but not alas on my Samsung 3D television. You can create your own anaglyphic 3D images that can be posted on your blog, like the above, by converting the file using free software, such as StereoPhoto Maker, a Windows-only program that Mac OS users can run under Apple's Boot Camp and a copy of Microsoft windows.
If you want to view the image here in 3D, you can pick up red/cyan 3D glasses from many sources including Amazon, who even offers clip-on's for eyeglass wearers.—Joe Farace

Versatile sequencing library preparation methods for MinION and PromethION
A wide range of gDNA library-prep protocols and kits is available, offering high-throughput, low DNA-input, rapid preparation and ultra-long reads.
A wide range of gDNA library-prep protocols and kits is available, offering high-throughput, low DNA-input, rapid preparation and ultra-long reads.
We have developed workflows to maximise throughput from both high- and low-input samples, without the need for PCR (Fig. 1). Omitting PCR means that amplification bias is eliminated and several hours of laboratory time are saved. The PCR-free low-input protocol is compatible with longer fragments than can be obtained with a PCR-based protocol, giving the user longer reads. Using the low-input protocol, the user loads the library into the MinION while strands are still bound to the beads. Gravity draws the beads onto the membrane surface, increasing the local concentration of DNA molecules on the membrane. This library prep currently performs optimally with as little as 20ng input gDNA.
Fig. 1 Schematic representation of ligation-based 1D and 2D library preparation
For applications where the accuracy of a 1D read (template strand only) is of sufficient quality for the downstream analysis, we have developed a rapid 1D gDNA library prep. This prep uses a transposase enzyme, which simultaneously fragments and attaches adapters to double- stranded DNA. 1D sequencing adapters are then attached. Starting with an extract of high molecular weight DNA, the entire library prep can be performed in around 5 minutes (Fig. 2a). The prep can generate extremely long reads, albeit with a shorter modal read length than can be obtained with physical shearing (Fig. 2b). Additionally, because fewer steps are involved, the protocol is easy to perform, and is well-suited to use outside of a laboratory environment.
Fig. 2 Rapid 1D gDNA protocol a) workflow b) typical read-length distribution
The attachment chemistry that is used to add sequencing adapters onto the ends of duplex DNA in the rapid gDNA protocol (Fig. 2a) is also compatible with other types of library preparation. This has allowed us to develop a faster and simpler low-input PCR-based protocol for genomic DNA (Fig. 3a), shortening the previous protocol by over an hour. For experiments which involve sequencing single amplicons, such as metagenomic surveys by 16s or CO1 analysis, sequencing adapters can be attached to PCR amplicons in the same way, meaning that it is possible to go from genomic DNA to the start of sequence data generation in approximately 30 minutes, ideal for rapid species identification.
Fig. 3 Schematic representation of rapid library preparation protocol for a) gDNA and b) amplicons
As well as being able to fragment and attach adapters quickly, our rapid 1D prep has fewer steps than the ligation-based prep, meaning that adapters can be efficiently added to lower quantities of input DNA. By combining this feature with PCR amplification, we have developed a rapid low-input protocol, in which the laboratory steps before and after amplification take no more than 15 minutes in total (Fig. 4a). Although the very long fragments produced by the transposition reaction are lost during PCR amplification, when starting with high molecular weight genomic DNA the modal fragment size is similar with and without the PCR steps, around 3 kb (Figs. 2b and 4b).

|Oh, wait, he managed to make this his day job. Color me bitter.
There's a really interesting interview by Bill Morris with artist Alfred Steiner over at The Millions entitled "Is Copyright a Guardian Angel or a Killer of Creativity?" In it, Morris and Steiner discuss "day jobs" vs. creative endeavors and the different role that copyright law plays in the art world vs. the world of literature. You should check it out.

I've kind of realised I am having a bit of a food problem when it comes to meal planning - I want to eat everything. Okay, actually no, but I really get stuck on a particular ingredient (chicken or sweet potatoes the last two weeks). And everything I do want to eat should involve that particular ingredient.
This week, I am trying to seriously get out of my sweet potato obsession mode and diversify my meals. I'm trying, but I'm not really sure about how successful I was. At least I avoided including my bacon wrapped sweet potatoes, smashed sweet potatoes, sweet potato noodles, and mashed potatoes all in the same meal plan. A few of those dishes will probably wait until next week.
Probably. Unless Mr. Toddler requests sweet potatoes for lunch or dinner. In which case my hands will be tied and I will simply have to prepare them. Obviously my two year old controls my life.
Aside from getting stuck on particular ingredients, I also realised that a lot of my recipes and foods that I want to cook are either Russian inspired or Dutch inspired. It's been a bit different lately because I'm trying to adjust our meals to make sure that they also fit my in laws' pallets, but aside from the occasional stir fry or pasta dish, I don't really venture out into other styles of cooking.
How about you? Do you try to get a diversity of 'ethnic backgrounds' in your cooking? While I was planning some homeschool activities for my son, I realised that I have never prepared an African dish. I mean, that's a huge continent with loads of food inspiration potential that I have never even thought of exploring. Not to mention that Asia also has loads of amazing flavours and dishes that are unique to each country/region in it.
I really want to challenge myself to go beyond my comfort zone and try new things. Not only do I find it absolutely and totally fun, but um, think about all of the potential for deliciousness! I need to get some research going, think about how to make dishes paleo (cuz I'm like that) and get my kid involved!
For now, here's what I'm planning on making this week:
Assuming that I can get my homeschool shelves organised well enough, we will be working on Africa themed activities this week. One of the 'lessons' I want to do is cooking an African inspired dish. After doing a google search, I found this recipe for Moroccan chicken stew that I think Mr. Toddler would be able to help me make. If anyone has a delicious and authentic(ish) African dish, I'd love to read about it!
Lettuce wraps
Beef stew with rosemary potatoes
Breakfast for dinner - an egg casserole loaded with veggies, pan fried sausages and more veggies on the side (my point being, eat your veg!)
Stuffed cabbage (grandma's recipe!)
Breakfasts and Lunches
Pizza egg muffins (recipe testing)
Pulled pork + eggs + veggies
Leftover stuffed cabbage pan fried with an egg in it
Leftover stew that will be reworked to look like this:
Chia seed pudding
Pasta, pasta pasta. Sophie from Sophie in Clogs recently posted absolutely delicious sounding recipe for a peas and basil pasta sauce! I need to think up a way to swap out the normal pasta for something paleo-y, which will make it a primal recipe!
Smoothies are still a major thing

Our favorite lengthwise scarf takes advantage of the fact that, if you start with three yarns and change yarn every row, the next one you need will always be waiting right where you need it-as if by magic! Because you're changing yarns every row, you get a beautifully integrated fabric (not too stripey) with no wrong side. It's a great stash busting project, too!
Knit Collage Patterns - Yarnicorn Cowl - PDF DOWNLOAD is a similar pattern: n/a finished gauge, scarf garment, and for unisex. You may also like The Fibre Company Patterns - Fairbanks, which is another similar pattern: scarf garment, for unisex, and bulky (12-15 sts/4 in) yarn gauge.
You may enjoy taking a look at the Isager Spinni Wool 1 Fir Cone Lace Shawl or Scarf, Berroco Ultra Alpaca Pressed Rib and Muffler, Classic Elite Silky Alpaca Lace Bias Before & After Scarf, and Cascade 220 Superwash Sport Seaworthy Gansey Cap kits all using Churchmouse Classics Patterns.
Hopefully our suggested yarn options for Welted Fingerless Gloves can help you come up with your next exciting new project idea!
We provide endless possibilities for you including yarn, knitting gifts, needles, kits, sale yarn, free knitting patterns, and more! Jimmy Beans Wool is Your Local Yarn Store... Online!

Cholesterol, Sulfur, Lactate, and Sunlight: a New Paradigm for Health Stephanie Seneff Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory MIT WAPF Wise Traditions Conference November 11, 2011
Outline The Perfect Storm What's bad about diets that are enriched in sugar and starch? What's good about diets that are enriched in fat and cholesterol? Choline, zinc and folate Ketogenic diet Lactate Sulfur Cholesterol sulfate and endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (Time Permitting) The silver lining in cardiovascular disease
The Perfect Storm Low dietary fats and (especially) cholesterol – Deficiencies in zinc, choline, folic acid, sulfur, … High dietary carbohydrates, especially high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and wheat High consumption of heavily processed foods Extreme avoidance of sun exposure Cumulative exposure to aluminum – In deodorants, vaccines, sunscreen, cookware …
The Consequences diabetes Alzheimer's cancer depression allergies Parkinson's disease fibromyalgia asthma cardiovascular disease heart failure GERD autism ADHD multiple sclerosis seizures obesity
Unhealthy Foods
Healthy Foods CHOLINE SULFUR VITAMIN A IRON VITAMIN D3 ZINC ELECTROLYTES SATURATED FAT CHOLESTEROL LACTATE FOLATE
Two Truisms? You should be sure to eat plenty of carbohydrates because the brain can not utilize fats as fuel You should avoid dietary cholesterol because the body can synthesize all the cholesterol it needs
How I would Phrase it You should be sure to eat plenty of dietary cholesterol because its synthesis process is complex and it is an essential nutrient for the brain and for the membranes of all the cells of the body You should avoid dietary carbohydrates because the body can synthesize all the glucose it needs

For a long time, we had falsely believed that carbohydrate was our best energy source because it neither was greasy nor caused us fat, and that we could not live without it.... Now, we have known that carbohydrate can harm our health and develop diseases such as morbid obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and many more. – Robert Su, M.D. Author, Carbohydrates Can Kill www.carbohydratescankill.com
The U.S. Obesity Epidemic* 1990 2004 2008 * Source: CDC Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
Blood Sugar Levels after a Meal Too many carbohydrates Too few fats
Soft Drink Consumption Nurse's Health Study: 90,000 women monitored over 8 years – Women who reported drinking one soda per day gained on average ten pounds over four years – Women who drank one or more servings per day of a sugar-sweetened drink were twice as likely to have developed type 2 diabetes compared to those who rarely drank these beverages Dhingra et al., Circulation (116) 480-488, 2007 – Higher risk of obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes for middle-aged adults who consumed at least one soft drink per day.
Sugar: the Bitter Truth* Robert Lustig, UCSF Professor >1.7 million uploads Blames fructose for the obesity epidemic Discusses how liver converts fructose to fat and releases it as LDL * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM "You can make dog poop taste good with enough sugar. In essence, that is what the food industry has done." -Robert Lustig in interview with New Scientist "You can make dog poop taste good with enough sugar. In essence, that is what the food industry has done." -Robert Lustig in interview with New Scientist
Advanced Glycation End Products (AGE's) Aptly named, as they accumulate as we age and make us age faster Generated by reactions between sugars and proteins, and they're hard to get rid of Interfere with function of affected proteins Fructose is far more reactive than glucose Methylglyoxal, generated as a by-product when corn starch is converted to fructose non-enzymatically, is the worst AGE'ing agent known Hemoglobin A1c is an example of an AGE product
Sucrose vs HFCS Consumption in U.S.* * Tappy and Le, Physiol Rev 90, 23–46, 2010
More on AGE's

Mascitelli, Archives of Medical Science, 7(1) 8-20, 2011 "Nutrition and Alzheimer's Disease: the Detrimental Role of a High Carbohydrate Diet,'' S. Seneff, G. Wainwright, and L. Mascitelli, European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2011. These topics were covered in my talks last year at WAPF
Wheat has a high glycemic index (even whole wheat) Phytate in wheat chelates iron and zinc Gliadin (peptide in wheat) causes psychological and neurological damage Incidence of celiac disease (wheat allergy) has quadrupled over the last 50 years Author proposes obesity epidemic due to excess dietary wheat
Observation: Schizophrenia is rare in populations where grains are avoided Case study:* Woman, currently 70 years old Schizophrenic since age of 17. Treatment program: low-carb, gluten-free diet (ketogenic) – Auditory and visual hallucinations quickly disappeared
All of these nutrients are likely to be deficient in a diet that actively avoids saturated fat and cholesterol choline zinc sulfur iron folate vitamin D vitamin A cholesterol saturated fat vitamin K
Cholesterol is Essential for Mobility and a Nervous System Plants contain no cholesterol Plants can't move Plants don't have a nervous system In a sense, cholesterol is to animals as chlorophyll is to plants
Cholesterol in the Brain The brain contains 2% of the body's weight and 25% of the body's cholesterol Cholesterol is essential in the brain for neurotransmitter transport at synapses and for signal insulation in the long-distance axons
Cholesterol-enriched Lipid Rafts Lipid rafts are special regions of cell membranes Prominent role in muscle metabolism and contraction Regulate neurotransmission and receptor trafficking Disruption of lipid rafts in neurons leads to: – Depletion of excitatory and inhibitory synapses – Loss of dendritic spines – Receptor instability

Choline Deficiency and Liver and Heart Disease* Cholesterol-rich foods are a major source of choline, an essential nutrient Choline is needed to release VLDL from liver – Especially in context of high fructose diet Choline deficiency fatty liver Choline deficiency elevated homocysteine Elevated homocysteine is a risk factor for heart disease (and later I will explain why) * Da Costa et al., Am J Clin Nutr, 440-4, 2005
Zinc Adequate zinc intake is essential for fighting off infectious disease, boosting immune function, repairing DNA damage and fighting cancer. As many as 12% of Americans are deficient, and 40% of the elderly in America Oysters are the very best source; other options are beef and poultry; Zinc is poorly absorbed from plant sources
What's the Role of Folic Acid? Homocysteine is a precursor for methionine – Folic acid catalyzes the reaction – Folic acid absorption through the gut depends on sufficient cholesterol in lining of intestines – Methionine is critical for protein synthesis When folic acid is insufficient, homocysteine is converted to PAPS* instead, and ultimately to sulfate – Protein synthesis is impaired * phosphoadenosine phosphosulfate
New York Times Article* "There is no crusade against unhealthful food in our house. Some might argue that unhealthful food is all we let Sam eat. His breakfast eggs are mixed with heavy cream and served with bacon. A typical lunch is full- fat Greek yogurt mixed with coconut oil. Dinner is hot dogs, bacon, macadamia nuts and cheese… Sam's diet is just shy of 90% fat". * http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/21/magazine/21Epilepsy-t.html

"This island has so little lime in its soil that it is said that there are no trees in the entire island except a few which have been planted" (p. 41)
"The thatch of the roofs plays a very important role. It is replaced each October and the old thatch is believed by the natives to have great value as a special fertilizer for their soil because of its impregnation with chemicals that have been obtained from the peat smoke which may be seen seeping through all parts of the roof at all seasons of the year. Peat fires are kept burning for this explicit purpose even when the heat is not needed." (p. 43)

"Primary sulfate, or SO 4, is produced when ships burn a cheap, sulfur-rich fuel called "bunker oil." Most of the sulfur emitted by ships burning bunker oil is released as sulfur dioxide, or SO 2, a gaseous pollutant which is eventually converted to sulfate in the atmosphere.

Obesity and Heart Disease in the Cotton Belt "Dr Richard Milani (Ochsner Health Center, Metairie, LA) speaks glumly about the swath of cardiometabolic disease shrouding Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama—with rates "typically in the highest decile for stroke and heart disease in the nation"—and New Orleans "right in the thick of it." New Orleans itself, he adds, consistently ranks as one of the most obese cities in the US." *Betty Crocker, Coke, and CardioSmart at ACC 2011 | theheart.org
Sulfur Deficiency in the Soil Coastal plain soils are low in sulfur* – Low in organic matter: a major source of sulfur – Sandy soils lose nutrients easily – Fertilizers used often contain little or no sulfur – Stringent restrictions on industry sulfur emissions – High-yield crops and farming methods – Decline in use of sulfur-containing pesticides * www.ncagr.gov/agronomi/release/5-00agrosulf.htm
How to Maintain Adequate Sulfur (and good health) Eat eggs Avoid filtered water Soak in epsom salts Bask in the sun
Synthesized in the skin and by red blood cells and platelets Omnipresent in blood serum in small amounts Collects around exterior of red blood cells and gives them a negative charge field – Keeps cells from sticking together or sticking to capillary walls Can travel freely in blood and readily enters cell walls
Red Blood Cell Membrane Cholesterol Sulfate easily pops out of membrane Figure provided by Glyn Wainwright
Sulfated Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) Prominent in extracellular matrix of all cells Amount of sulfate depends on availability Crucial for maintaining negative charge and protecting from infection http://www.science-autism.org/sulphate.htm
How It's Supposed to Work Plenty of dietary sulfur Plenty of dietary cholesterol Plenty of sun exposure
Cholesterol sulfate supplies oxygen, sulfur, cholesterol, energy energy and negative charge to the tissues Sulfate synthesized from sulfide in skin and blood stream utilizing energy in sunlight – Protects from UV damage and keeps microbes out Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) performs the magic The skin is a solar powered battery! A Radical Proposal
eNOS!! Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is a very interesting molecule It's known for its role in synthesizing nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine But I think it has a much more important role as well, which is its primary role: – To synthesize sulfate from sulfur in the presence of sunlight N NO NO 3 -2 S SO 2 SO 4 -2
Where is eNOS Found? What does it do? In melanocytes in the skin (cells that synthesize melanin for tanning) In the endothelial cells lining artery walls In several cell types in the blood: – red blood cells, platelets, mast cells eNOS synthesizes nitric oxide from L-arginine It makes no sense for a red blood cell to synthesize nitric oxide!!
L-ARGININE eNOS Hemoglobin binds strongly to nitric oxide: this neutralizes the effect of both of them! The red blood cell keeps the substrate for nitric oxide synthesis out: I hypothesize that it uses eNOS to make sulfate instead !
eNOS and Caveolae Michel and Feron, J. Clin. Invest. 100(9) 2146-2152, 1997
eNOS with and without L-Arginine If either L-arginine substrate or BH 4 cofactor is reduced, eNOS synthesizes O 2 - (superoxide) instead of NO O 2 - and NO combine to make OONO -, a potent oxidizing agent Katusic, Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 281:H981-H986, 2001.
eNOS Dimer Synthesizes Sulfate: A proposal Zinc Sulfur + + + + + + electrons HEME FLAVINS Dimer (two eNOS molecules) creates cavity Zinc atom in cavity creates positive charge field Sulfurs in cysteine peptides attracted to zinc Flavins respond to sunlight by emitting electrons Electrons create charged oxygen dimers (O 2 - ) Oxygen combines with sulfur to form sulfate (capture energy) sulfate
Storing Energy while Fixating Oxygen and Sulfur Sunlight energy can be stored in the sulfate molecule Oxygen and sulfur are also easily transported through the blood stream via sulfate – Extracellular matrix proteins are a silo for sulfate reserves Stored energy can later be utilized by a muscle cell to contract O2O2 Exothermic Reaction: Energy Released S O-O- O-O- O= - - O2O2 S -2
FAD FMN Fe S + 2O 2 - SO 4 -2 e-e- e-e- e-e- e-e- BH 4 Fe BH 4 FAD, FMN: flavins (respond to sunlight by emitting electrons) Fe = Iron in the heme group BH 4 = tetrahydrobioperin (catalyst) In cells in the skin, endothelial cells lining the artery walls, red blood cells, platelets and mast cells
Sunscreen Use and Skin Cancer http://evolvingwellness.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/malignant_melanoma_skin_cancer.gif The use of sunscreen grew thirty fold in the same time interval!
Pneumonia is the single largest cause of death in children worldwide Exposure to sunlight is a major factor in survival rate of pneumonia patients 29% mortality rate for those patients with low vitamin D status, as compared with 4% for the remainder However….
Vitamin D3 Supplements Don't Help!!* * T.G. Marshall, Bioessays, 173-182, 2008
Jellyfish Lake, Palau Photosynthetic sulfur-bacteria produce energy from hydrogen sulfide Abundant jellyfish thrive on the fixated sulfur Collagen in jellyfish is enriched in sulfur
These Foods are all Treasured in Taiwan Gelatin, shark's fin, sea cucumbers, chickens' feet and jellyfish are all healthy due to their high sulfur content
What Happens when Cholesterol Sulfate Synthesis is Impaired?? Cardiovascular disease!!! 1.Endothelial cells lining artery walls feeding the heart release inflammatory agents 2.Macrophages infiltrate artery wall 3.Macrophages extract cholesterol from oxidized LDL and deliver it to HDL-A1. 4.Platelets extract cholesterol from HLD-A1 and convert it to cholesterol sulfate This will be the subject of a talk at the WAPF meeting in London in March
Summary A diet high in carbohydrates and low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and lactate has devastating consequences – In addition, many important nutrients like folate, fat-soluble vitamins, and minerals like zinc and iron are deficient There is a remarkable association between sulfur availability in soil and protection from cardiovascular disease and obesity, and the reverse holds as well I propose that: – Sulfate synthesis in the skin, mediated by sunlight, holds the key to many health problems – Cholesterol-sulfate transport supplies cholesterol, sulfur, oxygen, negative charge, and energy to all the tissues – Atherosclerotic plaque is a factory for cholesterol sulfate production
Steps in Atherosclerosis* Inflamed epithelium provides adhesion molecules to trap and hold macrophages Macrophages through scavenger process take up oxidized LDL and become foam cells Interleukins and growth factors promote proliferation of smooth muscle cells (artery thickening) Extracellular matrix proteins are degraded Vulnerable plaque eruption : thrombosis * Libby, et al., Circulation 105:1135-1143, 2002
Steps in Atherosclerosis Entrapment of macrophages Build up of fatty deposits Rupture and throbosis Adapted from Libby, et al., Circulation 105:1135-1143, 2002
Many Good Reasons for ROS
Macrophages and Cholesterol* Macrophages in artery wall take up oxidized LDL and export extracted cholesterol to HDL-A1 Unsaturated fatty acids interfere with export process Macrophages eventually become damaged by exposure to oxidizing and glycating agents necrotic core * Wang and Oram, J. Biol. Chem 277 (7), 5692–5697, 2002
Platelets and RBCs both synthesize cholesterol sulfate (Ch-S) – Ch-S is present in the atherosclerotic lesions in the aorta – Platelets will accept cholesterol only from HDL-A1 – Platelet synthesis rate increases 300-fold when PAPS is available. – PAPS is formed from ATP and sulfate Platelet aggregation leads to thrombosis – HDL suppresses aggregation; LDL promotes it
RBC ATP homocysteine cysteine PAPS ROS ApoE macrophage (3) Ch Artery Wall Endothelial Cell Red Blood Cell Platelet Lipid Raft Cholesterol Sulfate Synthesis in Artery Wall Inflammatory Agents Heart muscle cell Synthesize sulfate
Recapitulation 1.Endothelial cells lining artery walls feeding the heart release inflammatory agents 2.Macrophages infiltrate artery wall 3.Macrophages extract cholesterol from oxidized LDL and deliver it to HDL-A1. 4.Platelets extract cholesterol from HLD-A1 and convert it to cholesterol sulfate, with help from PAPS 5.Macrophages die and build up necrotic core
Summary A diet high in carbohydrates and low in saturated fat, cholesterol, and lactate has devastating consequences – In addition, many important nutrients like folate, fat-soluble vitamins, and minerals like zinc and iron are deficient There is a remarkable association between sulfur availability in soil and protection from cardiovascular disease and obesity, and the reverse holds as well I propose that: – Sulfate synthesis in the skin, mediated by sunlight, holds the key to many health problems – Cholesterol-sulfate transport supplies cholesterol, sulfur, oxygen, negative charge, and energy to all the tissues – Atherosclerotic plaque is a factory for cholesterol sulfate production

If I would remember 2007 in anime terms, it is definitely the year when the legend of fan-based content finally entered my consciousness. I know, stuff made by fans (doujinshi, doujin games, etc.) have been around even before the first Comiket, but never has it exploded as much as today. I would mostly blame the internet for that, as with many other things related with such an easy way to connect with other people. Because it's related to computers though, the term "doujin" would have changed for me. A few years ago, I would consider the majority of doujin as either manga drawn by fans for fans, or programmed games by fans for fans. In 2007, "doujin" now encapsulates almost every form of media ever created. Music, accessories, video… you name it… the fans got it.

I'm surprised that I did better than I thought I would. I'm really positive about the result, but I should leave it be and move on to other things before crossing my fingers for the results (still 3-4 months away).
Granted JLPT Level 4 (that's what I took) is nothing compared to many other people around, but hey it's a headstart. Anything to justify my 5% knowledge of the language… who knows, can I proclaim 10% now?
I bet a lot of you took the exams too in your part of the world, and so I bid "good luck" to us all!
Everything is on hold because I'm "pretending" to study for the JLPT. I'm destined for failure though, so please just comment to pity me on this page. I'll be crying for the rest of the year, so I don't think I'll blog again until next year.
I bid everyone goodbye, again, for now. Thanks for all the support… if there ever was.
A bit of a shocker in the news a few days ago when Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe resigns from the post. Pretty bold move for a head of the one of the most powerful nations of the world. I really am astounded that this country runs on integrity of leadership for the people, everytime a leader loses face and support of his constituents one would be willing to commit political suicide for the sake of the country. I went to Japan last year as he rose to power, and resigned as I left eh? I even saw him in person really, campaigning or something in a speech held in a shopping district. I have no pics though so it didn't happen I guess.
Well Abe is in the hospital for now, and as I read news articles, some interesting name shows up… Taro Aso. Huh? Rozen Aso? He seems to be a prime candidate for taking the helm. This should be interesting.
While I don't think that he would transform Japan into Akihabara Country it would be interesting for us foreigners to see what kind of otaku-related legislation he would make (did he do something as Foreign Minister anyway?). Maybe promote moar moe~ overseas? Count me in for the cry for cheaper hobby goods that come out of the country. I'm betting he would spread the manga lovin first though, so all you manga lovers brace yourselves.
Don't get your hopes up though, Aso may not even win. I'm not too keen on Japanese politics but if a PM can resign on a whim situations can be as volatile as a climax of a manga arc.
On the other hand, if government offices start hiring maids wearing gothloli Rozen Maiden-like outfits I would be pleasantly surprised. Sound impossible? Remember this is Japan, anything goes.
UPDATE: He lost though.
Dear Kagami,
I know you're probably there, reading my whole alternate life. I know you can be so smart sometimes. That was one of the things I liked about you.
I'm not sure either why I'm writing this, you are probably not reading this anyway after the initial shock of realizing my alter-ego. Yes, this may be a weird hobby, especially to you, a well-bred, well-educated person mindful of things that really matter in life. But this is how I deal with the circumstances. My self-preservation. My fallback. When I met you, I was almost about to quit this, because I have found new inspiration. Of course, the odds were close to none and I knew that all along. It was all me, this one-sided, unrequited feeling.
You may not know but I was happy, even if I was rejected. But I should ask, why did you change after that? Why did I suddenly feel like I lost a friend? You promised, you 'swore' to be normal. You were not. I was trying my best here, to the point I closed my heart completely just to keep hush on the situations, leaving it like it never happened. You saw me smile, laugh, and talk to you just like before. But I saw your eyes never wander towards me anymore. You wouldn't even talk to me unless situations demand. Tell me who was wrong. Was it me who just wanted to say how I felt… and nothing more? I wasn't wrong, or I don't know where I was wrong.
But I can't blame you, I can't say you were wrong, I can't be angry at you, I can't even know your real side. In fact, I shouldn't care anymore. By the end of this writing, any feelings I have left for you would have gone. I think that should leave you satisfied right? We go our separate ways, as it may have always been. My sails have been cast in a different direction. People might say I am a weakling, a wuss, a loser for expressing this indirectly through this writing, but if they only knew how hard I tried to make things normal. If you only knew how hard I tried to make things normal. I should consider that my shining moment.
Whatever things I can be sorry about… I apologize for that. But I won't apologize for my feelings. Those were real. Nothing moe~ can ever replace it.
Hmm, so I watched this year-old movie called Sinking of Japan, and this is one of the times I was disappointed with a Japanese movie. It feels like some second-rate disaster movie, some scenes were not really needed, the pace is quite slow, and this main guy (one of the SMAP) seems to pop up at random places without explanation. It's quite disfunctional, this one. On the other hand, I was treated by some awesome scenes of destruction. I'm rather sadistic in the sense that I like blown-up stuff in the movies like Independence Day (aliens!), Day After Tomorrow (climate shift), Transformers (robots) etc.
The physics of this thing are one for the crazy movie nitpickers but maybe with global warming melting the ice and more frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions just maybe not only Japan but everyone is in danger of sinking or something. Just now we endured some heavy heavy rain out of a strong storm, too.
Then I wondered, what if Japan really sunk? Save the lolis first! Bring it all here for evacuation!

Playing against the South Warren Lady Spartans, a team ranked in the pre-season Top 20 in the state, the Lady Cougar softball team fell 11-5 in the season's first scrimmage game Wednesday evening at the Cougar softball complex.
The Spartans wasted little time, scoring twice against junior Lauren Decker in the top of the first to take the early lead. Emma Mills beat out an infield single leading off, then moved to third on a one-out single by Alexis Isable. Lauren Martin followed by lining a double to the fence in right-center that plated both runners to make it 2-0.
The Cougars had a pair of first inning hits, but ran themselves out of the inning with some shoddy base-running. Leadoff hitter Haley Tucker, blooped a ball into left field for a hit. One out later, Decker singled up the middle.
Tucker hesitated rounding second base before deciding to try for third. The throw from the outfield caught Tucker between bases and she was tagged out in a rundown. Decker, meanwhile, decided to try for second base, but she was also caught in a rundown and was tagged out for an inning-ending double play.
The Spartans made it 4-0 with a pair of runs in the third inning. Decker got ahead in the count 0-2 to Mills leading off the inning, but the Spartan center-fielder got all of the next pitch and drove it out of the park in center to make it 3-0.
Two outs later, Kaitlyn LaSala doubled to the fence in center, then scored when pitcher Karson Williams singled up the middle.
The Spartans put the game out of reach in the top of the fifth when three Cougar errors led to six unearned runs. Williams drove in a run with a single, while Bailee Collins drove in another with a ground out and Katie Conley's sacrifice fly plated another.
Grayson County finally got on the board in their half of the fifth off reliever Shelby Nunn. Tucker led off the inning by beating out an infield hit. When the throw to first was high, Tucker took second base. Catcher Bailey Snyder followed by ripping a pitch to the fence in right-center, easily scoring Tucker to make it 10-1.
Two more Cougar errors in the sixth inning led to the Spartans final run, which was driven in by first-baseman Madilyn Daugherty with a two-out single off reliever Kara Decker.
The Cougars put another run on the board in the bottom of the sixth. Three straight walks by reliever Abby Haynes loaded the bases for the Cougars. Haynes then struck out the next two batters she faced before Tucker walked to drive in Madeline Carter with the run that made it 11-2.
Grayson County put three runs on the board in their final at-bat. Back-to-back singles by Lauren and Kara Decker put runners at the corners with no one out. One out later, Allie Horton hit a soft grounder down the line at third to plate Lauren Decker. Horton beat the throw at first for an infield single and when the throw was wild at first, Horton moved into second while Kara Decker went to third.
Third baseman Embry Thorpe followed with a solid single to center that plated both runners to make it 11-5. The Cougars later had runners at second and third with two outs, but Tucker struck out to end the contest.
The Lady Cougars will be in action for real next Tuesday afternoon when they host the McLean County Cougars in the season-opener. That game is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m.

Desert Rain (MP3 CD)
She is a fragile innocent haunted by memories of her past and by dreams of the man who once shared her secrets the only man she can ever truly love.
One of the world's great beauties, her face and figure grace the fashion pages of the most elegant magazines. Though many desire her, only one may have her.
Holly Shannon North
She is a contradiction: assured yet vulnerable, irresistible yet untouched. Destiny has brought her back to Hidden Springs, where she can be one person, where romance once touched her tender young heart back to Lincoln McKenzie, the proud California rancher, long since hardened by life's tragedies. Now, in the icy chill of a desert storm, they must find the way back to love together to rekindle the fire whose healing warmth has drawn them home.

I just watched a video of Red Hill Mining Town. I started thinking about and remembering who I was in 1987...
Who were you in 1987? How different are you now?
Back then, who did you think you would become thirty years later? Did you become that person?
If you could go back to 1987, what advice would you give to your younger self?
(All this is assuming you were alive in 1987 )

CHRD-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Drummondville, Quebec.
Owned and operated by Bell Media, it broadcasts on 105.3 MHz using a directional antenna with an average effective radiated power of 3,257 watts and a peak effective radiated power of 5,345 watts (class A).
The station has an adult contemporary format since August 2009 and is part of the Rouge FM network which operates across Quebec and Eastern Ontario.
Originally known as CHRD when it was on the AM band on 1480 kHz, the station moved to the FM band in 1997.[1]
On August 18, 2011, at 4:00 p.m. EDT, all RockDétente stations, including CHRD-FM, rebranded as Rouge FM. The last song under the RockDétente branding was Pour que tu m'aimes encore by Celine Dion, followed by a tribute of the branding. The first song under Rouge FM was I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas.
From about 2001 to 2003, CHRD was part of Astral's CHR network, Énergie. It would flip to oldies in 2003 as part of Astral's new Boom FM network; this format would last until becoming a RockDétente station in 2009.

IMDb must find a way to quell these deliberately manipulated movie ratings. Find out how the rating system is being exploited and put an end to it before users lose all confidence in it.
Those who cheat the system should know there's backlash, for every false 10...their film will receive numerous 1's, and neither fairly assesses the movie being reviewed.
Is this an 8 star or higher film? In my eyes, no. A few may believe so, but I believe the vast majority of honest opinions would place it between 4-6. The premise is intriguing and executed moderately. The acting is mediocre. Mostly though, we aren't observing performances, but observing scenes and listening to the accompanying dialogue instead. Thus the editing, CGI and set are of primary importance and I believe the filmmakers did a decent job of it, earning a solid B-.
It's primarily seen through the eyes of our protagonist. She's one of three young adults (in financial straights) who accepts a mysterious assignment to supervise a group of highly gifted children in a top secret advanced learning program. She enters an underground facility which is completely pitch and is given a set of glasses which operates much like Google Glass, only then is she able to see her surroundings and receive any information. This alone kept me questioning what was truly real throughout the film since technology of this nature can control ones perception of reality. It can be programmed and designed to manipulate a person so I was never certain who or what was really happening. The feeling was much like watching films like Black Swan, Vanilla Sky or Inception in that it is somewhat disorientating and one cannot be certain about what's experienced. To be clear, this film is absolutely nothing like the 3 films I've mentioned and it cannot compare; the air of disorientation and uncertainty is all that is in common. At its' core, this is the best thing about the film.
Our protagonist soon realizes that the children are far from average. They are mentally and intellectually far more advanced than most adults who may be considered genius and these prodigy's only pause from their studies to eat a highly regulated diet and sleep a precise amount of time. She alone feels pity for them, voicing it by saying that children should be allowed time to be children, to have recess and play. Her opinion proves to be a critical point to the plot.
I think that more tantalizing visuals and dialogue would have done absolute wonders for the production value of this film. The set was too claustrophobic and lacked ambiance. It reminded me a bit of the lower levels seen on the set of Ex Machina, except a bit more like (as one reviewer stated) "a concrete submarine" meets inner city raver nightclub. Some imagination, space, and attention to detail would have gone a long way since the set was such a critical part of the production. There's no background on the female protagonist nor her co-protagonists which leaves the audience with no concern about their plight. They are nondescript and we learn nothing about them, it didn't even benefit the story to have the co's present. A backstory and some amount of character development was critically missing.
There were some tense moments, more of them would have made the film somewhat thrilling but the run time is fairly short and there's not much in the way of building suspense. One freak-out occurrence and our protagonist is already exiting the facility. She's compelled to stay however, then there's only the second occurrence which is our climax. Throughout the climax you are on a POV trip through darkness and confusion. Terror is intended, but it's mild since it's not conveyed as well as it could have been. I loved the ending. It was a bit confusing but if you're paying close enough attention and processing it then I think you'll appreciate it to. Is it brilliant? No, but it's satisfactory.

Movie description: Tim & TJ are friends. They were doing some homework at Tim's home. When Tim left for a while TJ started watching porn online instead. He was surprised by Tim's mom, Sara Jay, who went into the bedroom looking for some dirty clothes to add to her laundry. Soon she noticed what her son's friend was doing online and, being the young cock craver she is, her decision was to give TJ some hot porn-like action herself.
