While wasting time on YouTube, I recently came across a series of Pakistani commercials for the phone service Ufone. I tend to roll my eyes at the attempts of companies to get people's money, but with Pakistani commercials it's different. Watching Pakistani commercials remind me of the winter evenings I've spent in Pakistan, cuddled under the warm comforter with my aunts and cousins watching Pakistani or Indian dramas interspersed with wholesome, lively Pakistani commercials.As I watched one c … [Read more...]

Cancer (Carcinoma)
An uncontrollable growth of abnormal, malignant cells in the body. There are over 100 different types of cancerous diseases, which can affect just about any part of the body.
Cancer typically occurs when normal body cells multiply too rapidly, being forced upon the body when they are not needed. The result of this phenomena produces a mass of cells, also called a tumor. These growths can either be benign (non-cancerous and non life threatening) or malignant (cancerous and able to spread life-threatening diseases).
Symptoms of this condition can vary depending on the type of cancer it is. As an individual's condition progresses to a more advanced stage, common symptoms such as fever, fatigue, nausea and weight loss may be present. However, these may be more accurately described as responses to an individual's cancer treatment or other ills associated with their disease.
Treatment Procedures
There are four main procedures to help treat cancer:
- Surgery
- Chemotherapy – a type of treatment that uses chemical agents to destroy infections and diseases within the body.
- Radiation therapy – the use of high-energy radiation to kill cancerous cells within the body.
- Immunotherapy – a type of biologic treatment that stimulates certain parts of the immune system to fight diseases.

Ouachita State Wildlife Management Area
Ouachita State Wildlife Management Area
Ouachita Wildlife Management Area, 10,989 acres in size, is located in southeast Ouachita Parish, approximately six miles southeast of Monroe. It is bordered on the north by the Russell Sage Wildlife Management Area and on the east by Bayou LaFourche. Louisiana Highway 15 crosses the northern portion of the management area.
The original purchase of 3,124 acres of bottomland hardwood habitat was consummated in 1975. A large addition was made in 1984 when 5,621 acres of agricultural land was purchased. An additional 896 acres was added in 2002. Ouachita lies within the Bayou LaFourche flood plain and is subject to annual winter and spring flooding. Elevation of the area ranges from 55 to 62 feet mean sea level.
The forest canopy contains a mixture of bottomland hardwoods that are grouped into two major timber types: oak-elm-ash and overcup oak-bitter pecan (water hickory). Minor acreages of cypress-tupelo gum and pure black willow are also present. Individual species of trees present include Nuttall oak, honey locust, rock elm, sweetgum, hackberry, willow oak, and delta post oak. Common understory species are swamp privet, rattan, poison ivy, deciduous holly, grape, palmetto, trumpet creeper, persimmon, and hawthorn.
Department personnel planted almost 4,000 acres of hardwood seedlings in an attempt to restore the property to its former condition prior to being cleared for farming in the 1960?s. A series of waterfowl management impoundments totaling approximately 1,700 acres were constructed in cooperation with Ducks Unlimited. Levees were upgraded on another 455 acres of impoundments in 2001 utilizing Ducks Unlimited funds. The waterfowl impoundments are heavily utilized by waterfowl as well as numerous non-game birds. An observation tower has been constructed which provides for public viewing of waterfowl.
Game species available for hunting include deer, squirrel, rabbit, snipe, dove, and waterfowl. Among the ducks wintering on the area are blue-winged teal, green-winged teal, mallard, shoveler, pintail, and wood ducks. Trapping is permitted with available furbearers including raccoon, mink, nutria, muskrat, opossum, beaver, coyote, and bobcat. The river otter is present, but trapping for this species is not allowed.
Three reservoirs, 180 acres, 18 acres and 10 acres, are located on the reclaimed agricultural tract. Fishing opportunity exists for largemouth bass, bluegill, and crappie. Waterfowl impoundments are managed in a manner, which provides an excellent water regime for crawfish production.
One camping area, eight acres in size, is located on the WMA. Camping is primitive in nature except a source of drinking water is provided.

Hi Everyone,
Here is my personal experience and review of www.watchdoctor.biz Mark Sirianni in Kane, PA.
I've never posted anything like this, but I feel like I want to share my experience so other members are aware of what happened.
I sent an Omega Great White (I've had several of this watch) to Mark for repair. It was keeping time at -15 sec/day, so it was ready for an overhaul. When I sent it, it was in excellent shape, no dings, red dot intact, bezel, dial, crystal were excellent.
He performed an overhaul on the watch, and returned it to me. Within a few minutes of opening the package, I noticed the superluminova was marked on several markers. I also noticed that there was dirt on the dial.
I contacted Mark immediately with pics. He said he would take care of it, to send the watch back. I sent it back promptly to him. After receiving and looking at it, he said he felt the GMT hand was rubbing on the dial, but he didn't do it. (Well I'll post before and after pics, keep in mind the red dot was intact and no one was ever inside the watch before and the dial was perfect). He said it would be on my dollar to get it repaired. I quickly disagreed, etc... He shipped the watch out. I sent it to Jack at International Watch Works. Jack took a good look, said it couldn't be relumed, needs a new dial... So I'm paying for one because Mark won't.
Mark tried to say that he would send it out to get relumed and it was a little blemish and it doesn't need a new dial for that. Well, I disagree, the dial was perfect when I sent it and should have been returned that way. The point here is he didn't want to do anything about it until I told him I would post a review of what happened.
What I learned was, buyer beware, if it seems too good to be true (price, etc...) it probably is. I have a problem with doing business with someone says he will do something and doesn't keep his word.
Next time, it will go right to a reputable repair person such as RGM, Jack, or the Omega service center.

I honestly didn't think anyone knew about this place! I found this place while buying beer one day when I lived down the street. Everything they sell is AWESOME!
FYI This location is open, not sure why it has been flagged as closed on East Bay Express! Qulture Collective is open M-F 8am-4pm.
I love this place. Knowledgeable bartenders, enormous selection and comfortable atmosphere all keep me coming back for more.
A great place for great food and wine. The setting is warm and friendly, as is the staff. They also have an joining wine shop that has a wonderful selection.
I feel that everyone at Prima's is dedicated to making sure my evening is perfect. I've been eating here for years and have never been disappointed.
They are closed.
This is not The Hills Swim and Tennis Club. This is "Oakland Hills Tennis Club". There is ALSO an unrelated club, called "The Hills Swim & Tennis Club" nearby at the top of Shepards Canyon at Skyline (roughly) with a commanding, breathtaking view of Mount Diablo. I can see why there's confusion, it's confusing since they are almost named the same thing.

I loved the restaurant when it was on McAllister before it moved to Geary @ Jones, and I loved it on Geary too. Over the years there have been many great waiters and personable staff although after a best friend moved away I found myself less often at the restaurant. Now though, now that Millennium has moved to my hometown, I'm generating a new habit again.
One of the worst lounge in Oakland I have been there one time it is not safe to have fun around there.And very poor customer service.....
I have been dreaming of going to this popup for year- finally I noticed it was across the street from me! yeah! Yes it was everything I wanted- real food finally. Delicious chicken with so many flavors, great Sake Sangria! and Deviled Avocado- on on fresh veggie sides.

News AIA LRGV Tour: Three Hundred Years Of Brownsville Residential Architecture by Stephen Fox
Photo by John Faulk Images + Design
Participants in the nineteenth annual Building Communities Conference of the Lower Río Grande Valley chapter of the American Institute of Architects kicked off a two-day conference at South Padre Island in late September with a daylong tour focused on three centuries of residential architecture in the border city of Brownsville. The tour included stops at seven houses, the oldest built in 1892 and the most recent built in 2010. Seen in chronological succession, the properties demonstrated the ways that domestic architecture changed between the late nineteenth and early twenty-first centuries. Yet they also revealed local patterns that underline what is distinctive about the planning and construction of houses in the flat, hot, humid coastal plain of the south Texas borderland. Leading the tour were two officials of the City of Brownsville: José A. Gavito Jr., the city's heritage officer, and Peter L. Goodman, director for its Historic Downtown program and manager of the Brownsville Film Commission. The earliest house on the tour was the RabbStarck House at Rancho Santo Tomás on the Río Grande downriver from Brownsville. The property includes the Sabal Palm Grove, the only remnant of the primeval palm forest that once lined the lower Río Grande. It was acquired in December 2010 by the Gorgas Science Foundation of Brownsville. Lawrence V. Lof, assistant professor of biology at the University of Texas at Brownsville/Texas Southmost College and president of the Gorgas Science Foundation, will rehabilitate the house.
Lof discovered, concealed in the newel post of the main stair, what remained hidden since the house was completed in 1892: a hand-written narrative identifying the Brownsville builder James McCoy and his collaborators as responsible for its construction. Lof described how the house was built of brick fired from clay dug on the site. From east- and south-facing galleries, some screened with latticework, and from inside the house, with its immense double-hung plate-glass windows, visitors experienced the adjustment to climate and orientation typical of nineteenth-century residential planning. This theme was reiterated at the BrowneWagner House of 1894 in Brownsville's West End neighborhood. This imposing, two-story brick house was organized by Brownsville architect-builder S. W. Brooks in a T-plan configuration of one-room deep wings to facilitate ventilation. Since the house does not have airconditioning, visitors understood how its siting, its setback from its street corner location, triplehung windows, louvered shutters, and embracing galleries architecturally modulate the transmission of light and air. They also admired Brooks's ebullient molded brick cornice, exemplifying the Border Brick Style characteristic of the lower Río Grande in the nineteenth century. historic core is Los Ebanos, a garden subdivision developed in 1926 that is bisected by the tree-lined Palm Boulevard. Tour participants visited the two-story Arthur Pitt House on Palm Boulevard, designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style by Brownsville architect E. Guy Holliday in 1931. Brownsville engineer Fernando Ballí and his wife, Tatiana, who just completed restoration, discovered not only Arthur Pitt's records and photographs but
Lying beyond Brownsville's
also his handwritten autobiography, containing a wealth of information about the house. An example of the "country house" type, the Pitt House was also laid out in a one-room deep configuration to ensure multiple exposures for major rooms. The living room, dining room, and a rear loggia look out across the back yard to a resaca, one of the lagoon-like bodies of water that meander through Brownsville. Visits to two addi-
The houses demonstrate how domestic architecture has changed between the late nineteenth and early twenty-first centuries. tional examples of the country house type underscored the point that even when this house type was built in the city (as it most often was), it was configured in a thin, linear layout that enabled major rooms to face into the prevailing breeze. Also located on Palm Boulevard in Los Ebanos is the Camille Sams and Larry F. Lightner House of 1936, a pink-stucco surfaced Montereystyle house by Weslaco architect R. Newell Waters. The third country house was actually built in what had been the countryside north of Brownsville, the rambling, one-room-deep Casa Poinciana of 1938, designed by an Oklahoma City architect for the transplanted Oklahoma businessman, banker, and newspaper publisher Hubert R. Hudson, and subsequently occupied by his son Hubert Hudson Jr., who commissioned architect Ruth Young McGonigle and landscape gardener Isamu Taniguchi to further improve the small estate, located on Resaca de la Palma. That the resacas form a distinct ecology was apparent at the two most recent houses on the tour. The Peraglie House, a glass-walled modern house of 1968, designed by Brownsville architect Robert E. Velten (at 83, the chapter's senior member), occupies spectacular frontage on Resaca de la Palma that has been transformed into a magical realist subtropical garden. on the tour is a "hidden" house completed in 2010 by the young Brownsville designers Javier Huerta, AIA, and Francisco López. Facing Town Resaca, the Ringgold Residence is located on a spacious lot in an early twentieth-century subdivision. But because the lot did not connect to the subdivision's internal street system, it sat vacant for decades. Taking
The newest house
Origo Work's design for the Ringgold Residence, the most recent property on the tour, made a compelling case for what a twenty-first-century Brownsville house should look like.

A few weeks ago I was offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance to complete a long-standing bucket list item: an African photo safari. My new friend Vance from the USA who runs an intimate, very upscale lodge and an exotic species breeding operation in northern South Africa invited Carrie and me to accompany him on one of his regular visits to his "farm." In fact, his farm is part of the beautiful 150,000 acre Madikwe Game Reserve near the Botswana border, site of the largest game translocation in history. He had promised that "once Africa gets into your heart, it doesn't let go." Turns out that would be an understatement. At first I gave the usual protestations that I have way too much going on in my life right now to take ten days out (non-stop blog posts, books, PrimalCon a week later, certifications, seminars, etc.), but I decided I simply couldn't pass up this opportunity. After all, hadn't I vowed a year ago to start playing more [1], and if this wasn't play, what was? Moreover, here was a chance to literally go back to my Primal roots and do research for The Primal Connection [2]. When he informed me that he even had limited Internet access (but only if you hike up the hill, because it's not allowed anywhere in the lodge), the deal was sealed. A little work and a little play. Productive leisure is the term they use for it now, but it's how I roll.
Our prep for the trip was easy: just a carry-on bag full of lightweight clothes in neutral colors. The best part was not having to bring hiking boots. Two pair of Vibrams were all I needed for footwear. I had been warned about the sickle bush thorns that are everywhere in that part of Africa, and that I would need thicker protection for walking through the bush, but a quick perusal of the Vibram site and a call to my friends at Vibram USA brought me some sweet Bormios [3], sort of a mid-calf, zip-up leather version of KSO Treks [4]. (Over the next week in Madikwe, virtually every guide would ask where he or she might find a pair: it was as if they were designed for the bush. I could have sold a hundred pair). Even Carrie was able to fit ten days worth of travel into a carry-on bag, a first for her. And she also needed only two pair of Vibrams.
We stayed at HillHouse [5], a small, maximum 10-guest lodge designed by my friend's very spiritual and slightly eccentric architect to blend into the natural landscape. The rooms and other amenities were five star and the meals not only gourmet, but very Primal as well. My favorite was the grilled kudu steaks with salad greens grown in a beautiful garden sequestered on the property a mile away from the lodge, but every meal was memorable.
An important aspect of Madikwe is that there are no tarred roads (as I am told you'll find in other game parks). So the animals just treat the dirt roads as part of their playground (and when it rains, the game vehicles can get stuck, which presents some added challenges). The game sightings started literally the first ten minutes we were on the reserve and headed to our quarters, as a few elephants had decided they had the right of way on our road. During a brief stand-off with the mother in the lead protecting her newborn, I asked my host in a whisper if we were in any danger. He stared at the elephant, kept his hand on the ignition key and just said, "uh…maybe." And so the week went. We were in the thick of it, and it was awesome.
A typical day began with a game drive before sunrise in an open Toyota Land Cruiser with a canvas sunroof. After a sumptuous late breakfast back at the lodge and some napping, swimming or work, there was also a late afternoon drive that included a stop for wine and snacks (a "sundowner"). Each time, within a few minutes of leaving the lodge, we would run into herds of impala, wildebeests, kudu, tsessebe, springbok, waterbuck, sable, zebra and all manner of other grazing animals. There was literally never a dull moment. Our very first night, we came across four lions finishing off a wildebeest they had killed earlier in the day. Carrie got to within maybe 10 feet for her best photo ops. When you hear a lion crunching on the ribs of a wildebeest, you do get the strong sense that nature is truly "red in tooth and claw." Throughout the week we got up close and personal with giraffes and rhinos, spent an hour off-road in the midst of a herd of 60 elephants, watched for 30 minutes as a male elephant took a mud bath within 10 feet of us, crept down to the river to within 50 yards of seven massive hippos, twice had rare close-in daytime viewings of a herd of cape buffalo (50 or 60 of them) and had countless other delightful "primal meet-ups". After dinner each night we'd sit and tell tales over a glass of wine around an open fire pit.
We spent a good part of one day visiting the nearby African village of Obakeng. Some of the Madikwe guides had started a program to train young people from the village to compete in the Comrades Marathon. Part of that commitment included planting and tending food gardens in the village or building a shelter in which the youngest villagers could be schooled. The effect these young athletes had on their community was impressive and heart-warming. Carrie spent the day photographing the beautiful young children in the village, almost all of whom were more than willing to pose. From the continuous smiles, I got the sense from these dirt-poor people that "happy" is truly the default setting for all humans. Sad that so many of us have lost that ability to be happy for no reason. Another of many little life lessons I relearned on our trip.
One of the many highlights was an evening flight 800 feet above the game reserve in an ultralight aircraft, piloted by Colin, one of the guides. It gave yet another perspective of how massive the reserve is and how tiny we humans are against it all. As the sun was setting and we landed, I had a real sense of awe at how humans have been able to not only survive in that landscape, but become who and what we are today. It was a fabulous week for Carrie and me and we returned as relaxed, refreshed and inspired as we've been in years.
If any of you readers have ever considered going to Africa and doing it in style, I highly recommend checking out HillHouse [5] and the Madikwe Reserve. It is truly a luxury Africa experience. The staff will treat you like family (except that they'll see to your every need!) and you're likely to see more game in less time than most other areas. The lodge can only handle 6-10 people at a time and only for ten weeks a year, so plan soon [6], if you do intend to go.
On an unrelated note, this post also marks the official announcement of the Mark's Daily Apple Resource page [7] and our title sponsor Vibram [8]. If you get a chance, check out the video [7] I did explaining why I do the minimalist shoe/barefoot thing. As many of you know, I've been a huge proponent of FiveFingers for years. Now we're joining forces to help spread the word.
Also on the Primal Resource page [7] you'll find my favorite books, movies, blogs and retailers related to the Primal lifestyle. I'll be updating the page on a regular basis with new books, websites and other tools and products that may be of interest to you, so check back often.

Bars with board games
Don't sit there mourning Scrabulous-sit down with Boggle or Candy Land at one of these bars.
Tue Aug 12 2008
Date: July 15, 2008 10:37:07 PM EDT
To: email@example.com
Subject: Clubs/bars with board games?
Could you guys at TONY help me out with ideas for where to go for a night out with friends if we want to play board games?
Maria Chu-Delosreyes, Long Island City, Queens
Mark bar
Three words: bag of porn. Wednesday is bingo night, and the winner can score either a drink ticket or a selection from a grab bag of smut. If bingo (or Ass Masters IV) isn't your thing, ask the friendly bartender for game pieces for the Scrabble, Candy Land or backgammon boards that are secured in tables around the room. 1025 Manhattan Ave between Freeman and Green Sts, Greenpoint, Brooklyn (718-349-2340, themarkbar.com)
Common Ground
This lounge carries an impressive selection of games, including Scattergories, Life and Scrabble (the favorite among the youngish mix of suits and East Village hipsters when we went was Connect Four). Got a hankering for some grub? On weeknights until 8pm, upscale appetizers and gooey, cheesy panini are buy-one-get-one-free. 206 Ave A between 12th and 13th Sts (212-228-6231, commongroundnyc.com)
Relive the sticky, sweaty days of summer camp—complete with s'mores and games such as Trivial Pursuit and Jenga—at this log-cabin-esque Carroll Gardens drinkery. The bar also hosts Wii bowling tourneys on Tuesday nights, for the more actively inclined; grab a beer and get playing. 179 Smith St between Warren and Wyckoff Sts, Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn (718-852-8086)
Dive 75
Tease your brain with Boggle, Scrabble and Upwords at this laid-back pub, and sate your appetite for suds during its excellent happy hour—domestic drafts (including Anchor Steam and Ithaca Beer Company's fruity Apricot Wheat beer) are a pittance at $3. 101 W 75th St between Amsterdam and Columbus Aves (212-362-7518)
Sunday Scrabble tourneys are sadly no longer at this Park Slope beards-and-flannel haven, but the board is still available for playing—just ask the bartender. Make a selection from the indie-rock jukebox, grab a beer (pints of Brooklyn Lager are $5), and start triple-word scoring. 497 Fifth Ave at 12th St, Park Slope, Brooklyn (718-768-2040)
Stain Bar
Sure, you can play Trivial Pursuit or Chinese checkers at this gallery–performance space–bar; but the homey front room is large enough to accommodate Twister, if that's your kink. Down a few quaffs from the New York–centric wine and beer list first to help you limber up. 766 Grand St between Graham Ave and Humboldt St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (718-387-7840, stainbar.com)
Lighthouse Tavern
Head to the spacious back room, where sports dominate on the flat-screen TV, and a smallish assortment of games, including Scrabble and Chinese checkers, awaits. (Avoid the Yahtzee box, which is missing its pieces.) 243 Fifth Ave between Carroll St and Garfield Pl, Park Slope, Brooklyn ( lighthousetavern.net)

Luv em!
By Love Clothes
from Mississauga
Have the black/white and pastel versions. They are the right "easy" hoop size and they sit on the earlobe well. I have one earlobe that is a bit stretched and it covers that as the earrings stay in place. They are lightweight and very pretty.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Pretty earrings
By Barb
from Surrey, BC
Great quality as we have become used to from Joan. I bought the pastel ones to use as a gift but love them so much I ended up keeping them for myself!Love you Joan....R.I.P.
By Carole
from Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada
They are lovely I am 67 and love them and my daughter 34 wearing them for her pregnancy shoot tomorrow. The little diamonds in each flower sparkle like crazy. Worth the buy and I have a piece of Joan's I could afford.

There have been many Congressional efforts to improve mental health care. However, recent initiatives with a broader scope of improving the overall quality of care in the United States have underemphasized mental health. Researchers from RAND and UCLA have identified three steps to accelerate progress in improving the quality of mental health care.
The analysis concludes that engaging the public across a diverse group of stakeholders—including providers, payers, policymakers, consumers, researchers, and professional organizations—is central to quality improvement in mental health care.
Adults with severe mental disorders also suffer from higher-than-average rates of chronic physical illness, such as hypertension and diabetes. Yet this population has less access to treatment and receives a poorer quality of care than adults without mental illness. A key contributor to this problem is the disconnection between the mental health care sector, which provides most care to the severely mentally ill, and the general health care sector. To address this problem, a team of researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and RAND recommended improving clinical integration between these sectors and outlined several steps toward achieving this goal: (1) reorganize mental health service delivery to facilitate clinical integration so that mental health providers play a greater role in meeting the general health care needs of the severely mentally ill; (2) promote greater communication and collaboration among providers across the mental health and general health sectors through the adoption of integrated clinical information systems; (3) better prepare the health care workforce to meet all the health care needs of this population; (4) develop financing policies and practices that reward integrated care, such as building into reimbursement policies provisions for cross-care and expectations for coordination and information-sharing; (5) strengthen accreditation processes so that accredited health plans share uniform coordination-related requirements; and (6) develop federally sponsored research to evaluate quality-improvement interventions and evidence-based practices for people with severe mental illness that might be well-suited to improving this population's general health outcomes.
People with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders often must navigate a fragmented care system. Historically, treatment for these conditions has been delivered and financed separately. In recent years, Congress has debated this issue during hearings for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reauthorization. However, there have been successful efforts to deliver more integrated care that treats both conditions. A RAND study examined these efforts. The analysis suggested that progress is being made in two key areas:
The study pointed to three promising directions for further improvement: (1) widespread adoption of clinical models that emphasize service delivery in a single setting; (2) greater commitment by state authorities to support integrated care for each population and setting; and (3) federal policy changes that create opportunities for states to develop and sustain integrated models of care for co-occurring disorders within the fiscal and regulatory environment of the substance abuse treatment system.

Hi to all,I want to give a better look to my Garage so, I'm looking for some cool Hot Rod/Custom posters, with a beautiful presentation of the vehicle as we can see on streetrodder website pictures, but bigger than what we can find in magazines, size 17"x24", like this:When I search on ebay with keywords like "hot rod/ Custom/ Poster/ Art Print", I find, thing like that:Wich keywords will give me a better result ?In specialized shop, it's easy to find Mustang, Ferrari or Porsche posters, but Hot Rod are really rare !thanks
most of the around 40 automotive magazines on this site have a multimedia link above right.. there are wall papers for your desk top... at 1200x 1600 pixels.. they are not high enough resolution to actually print out really HUGE like you want.. i don't know what happened to them on this site.. perhaps somebody sneezed..there was a HOT ROD TV episode... where david took the viewers into the photo archive room.. it made me drool all those images.. just stored in drawers.. decades of them.. some used in print.. most not.. this is from Hrm.. http://www.hotrod.com/newsletter/hrdp_0210_hot_rod_archives/Hot Rod Archives - Starting LineThe Best Room In The BuildingHot Rod Magazine, February, 2009 I dreamt the other night that I found a secret portal in the depths of our old photo library, one that led to catacombs stacked in every corner with HOT ROD heritage. There were shelves of dusty speed parts-Winfield carbs, Ardun heads, complete Rajo setups-followed by room after room of engines of every description: a Mickey Thompson Pontiac Tempest four-banger on a stand, V-8 60s stacked like cordwood, most of an experimental hemi-head Olds, and what I think was a Gurney-Westlake Mopar small-block. Past that were acres of abandoned project cars I'd read about all my life: the lost HOT ROD roadster pickup and the Suddenly Plymouth and the Flashback '57 and maybe the Denimachine and that drag T roadster the staff built in, like, '78 or something. It was one of those dreams you didn't want to wake up from.In the top drawer of my desk is the key to that exact fantasy realized in paper and celluloid. It opens the door to the HOT ROD archives with a waft of stale air that always reminds me of the dank little room filled with dripping green pipes that was adjacent to the parking garage at our old 8490 Sunset Blvd. office building. That's where HOT ROD's oldest existing documents and images were stored before we moved to the Ivory Towers of Wilshire Blvd., and it was in that dungeon I discovered the glory of rodding's black and white history. Many of those old photographic prints were destroyed by water damage and thrown away during the move, and it sickens me to think of the volume of irreplaceable images that have been lost, pilfered, or simply misfiled into oblivion over the subsequent years. Equally unfathomable is the amount of stuff we still have, and not just photos and negatives and slides, but press kits, race programs, magazine back-issues, and old books. Any automobilia nut would freak out to spend an hour in the place, but it's off limits to all but a select few.It's one of the major perks of the job to just linger down there. You can pick up any random stack of negatives and marvel at never-before-seen shots of cars you've always known about, or simply lose yourself in the cool stuff from any of hot rodding's bygone eras. We've got drag racing, Bonneville, NASCAR, and road racing, all from about 1955 and up. There are complete buildups on hot rods that never ran in any magazine, plus piles and piles of inside shots of all the legendary personalities, some of which are not fit to print. The old drag action caught on medium format is unreal, and the color of the old Kodachrome remains vivid as the day it was shot. It's cool to read the old log books in Wally Parks' own hand, or notations made by Eric Rickman when he handed in film from his journeys with the Safety Safari. There's original film from the likes of Bob D'Olivo, Tom Medley, Bud Bryan, Bob McClurg, and often the most fascinating stuff is the underground, backwoods photos of nothing in particular. Just the era. The place is thick with Baskerville's notes, rants, and raves. On one folder he penned, simply, "bitchin!" That describes the whole place. Gray often said that the legacy captured on film is the most tangible element that separates HOT ROD from all the rest; everyone's got the memories, but HOT ROD was there and has the film to prove it.Not that any of this does you much good, because you can't get in the archives and we don't sell the prints. Sadly, the place is disorganized and no longer staffed. The good news is that I'll be glad to spend as many hours as I can digging up the best of our unpublished legacy and bringing it to you in From the Archives each month. Eat your heart out.-David FreiburgerRead more: http://www.hotrod.com/newsletter/hrdp_0210_hot_rod_archives/#ixzz2OYzCqmLp
the Video...http://videos.hotrod.com/video/HOT-ROD-Archives-Room-Video-Toube sure to have some napkins nearby to clean up any drool.. as i needed them when i watched it.
Yeah ! it's impressive to see it !I read something similar about Barris Kustom City in North Hollywood, the archives room is full of hundreds boxes with thousands photos and negatives in black and white or color.

Regarding the podcasting advice from the fellow in Israel.
Explain stuff in the beginning of the episode?
That's what the pause button and google are for.
Edit or don't edit the episodes?
Don't! It's more time wasted and the collegial feel will disappear. At the moment the twiv experience is like were are sitting at the table in Vincent's office.
In fact, I was in hospital recovering from acute pancreatitis when I listened to CSI Virology (episode 110) on speaker on my iPhone. Whilst listening, every now and then I would laugh or make audible comment. The nurses in the station outside my room door were wondering 'Who is this patient who is having conversations with these American doctors / Scientists about viruses and arsenic eating bacteria? They even contrived to send a senior nurse into my room to try and figure out what was going on.
Thus, the podcast is so conversational it fooled them into thinking I was in on some sort of conference call, and THAT is what makes your podcasts stand well out from the crowd (..as well as the content of course).
I did not enlighten them as to what was going on, but vicariously enjoyed being a 'man of mystery' as they speculated on who I could be.<grin>

I am glad that TWiV evolved into TWiP, which evolved into TWiM. I love listening to all three when I am walking, since I cannot run due to a knee injury during a half-marathon. No worries about safety, I walk on a no-vehicle crossing trail at a park.
I just listened to the TWIM episode regarding the Smallpox Vaccine and military members. As a member of the Army Medical Service Corps and also having received the Smallpox vaccine, I can tell you a lot a Soldiers do not fully understand the Vaccine. When I received my vaccine, we were herded into a room. A nurse stood in the front and briefed us on the numerous vaccines we were to receive along with the whole process for medical clearance station at the Soldiers' Readiness Program (SRP). The SRP is a program to ensure Soldiers are medically ready to deploy to various combat zones, in my case Iraq (e-Rock, not i-Rack). This occurs usually in a day with many other training events. The focus of the Soldiers can be very low during this process. Although they briefed us on the hazards of the smallpox vaccine, it is easy to understand that all of the information was glossed over by many of the Soldiers. Nearly all Soldiers do not have the microbiology understanding as you and I do. Therefore, they do not understand that touching the site once and lightly can spread the virus.
The vaccine site takes about 40 days to fully heal, with the infectious scab falling off at around Day 30. Mine fell off at Day 35. Throughout this time, Soldiers can forgot the information they have received and can forget that the scab is infectious. This is especially true as most people understand that a scab in general is part of the healing process and is not infectious. Furthermore, the site can be very itchy for some. I remember just wanting to scratch it because it was so bad at times. The information provided to us with the vaccine is to change the band-aid daily. When taking a shower, do not dry the site with a towel, rather let it air dry and then cover it with a new band-aid. Any contact such as wrestling, hand-to-hand combat, or other forms of physical contact are prohibited until the scab falls off.
I must admit that I am 100% a nerd. Figuring that I would receive the vaccine once in my life, I decided to document the site every day. I recorded 42 days of the vaccine process with photos each day. I attached photos of my arm (no HIPAA violation, of course) at Day 4, 11, 14 (with the sunken center), 20, 35 (when the scab fell off), and 36. I do apologize for the clarity of the images. I wish I would have had an object to judge the size of the infection, but I was taking these photos myself.
Thank you and keep up the good work,

Dear Vincent Alan and Rich,
I would like to mildly disagree with you on hepatitis B vaccine as discussed on TWiV 130. The risk of an infant aquiring hepatitis B IF they are in a low risk population is extremely low, and therefore their chance of passing it on also very low indeed. In fact the chance is so low that in some countries (such as the UK where I come from) the relevant authorities don't recommend routine hepatitis B vaccination. See below for two links to the UK department of health recommendations on routine vaccination, which don't include hepatitis B. The public health benefit of hepatitis B vaccine in low risk populations is very different from vaccines such as measles, polio and influenza which are much more likely to occur and to be transmitted (e.g. 14 500 cases of measles in France in the last three years according to today's ProMED mail). I felt that you didn't do full justice to the difference between hepatitis B and some of the more infectious childhood illnesses. All that only applies to low risk populations, and in the UK people from areas or communities of high prevalence or for some other reason at high risk are vaccinated against and screened for hepatitis B. Indeed in my own practice (infectious diseases) we do alot of blood borne virus work and vaccinate alot in groups such as HIV+, HCV+, etc.
Having said that, my own view would actually be that if the public health authorities have taken a decision that universal hepatitis B vaccine should be used, then physicians and the public should abide by that decision. Certainly if I had children I would jump at the chance to have them vaccinated against hepatitis B if the opportunity was there. I just wanted to make the point that someone in a low risk group refusing hepatitis B vaccine is not in the same league as, for example, refusing MMR, even if the reason is unfounded.

Keep up the great work, I really enjoying all your podcasts and I continue to learn alot.

Also does the lack of proper scientific reporting advocate the mushrooming of cafes scientifiques, where no scientists are really involved, but it is the lay persons who have a deep desire to know more about the science, discuss amongst themselves. Is the aim achieved in the end? That of getting erudite knowledge of science and technology into people!

When a new virus emerges, when do governments decide to intervene (e.g. developing a vaccine against it)? Is there a specified mortality rate or number of infected people that is used as criterion?

While it is clear that phylogenetic analyses of HIV can be extremely useful in solving criminal cases of sexual crimes (TWiV110), is it fair to consider someone with the disease a ?deadly weapon?? Criminalization of HIV potentially places those who test positive at risk for further discrimination and social prejudice. By classifying a subset of the population as inherently dangerous, what kinds of societal impacts would this have on disease control? Would HIV positive individuals decrease or increase?

If you are talking about bronze bore brushes, yes, I have always used them. With out using a brush, I don't think you can get your barrel really clean.
Any advice on the use of wire brushes being used to clean barrels...? After giving my Kimber a good field strip cleaning, I had a hell of a time getting the barrel clean and it still isn't as clean as I'd like it to be. I haven't used any wire brushes to clean the barrel, just a ton soaked (Hoppes #9) patches...
"bing bang boom! hair out...hamburger time" - William Murderface
If you are talking about bronze bore brushes, yes, I have always used them. With out using a brush, I don't think you can get your barrel really clean.
Your not going to get the lead out by just soaking that's for sure. Here's what I do. While at the range and the gun is still warm, I take some Shooters choice, and run a bore snake through it both ways. Then I leave the bore snake in the forcing cone of the gun, and let it soak till I get to the house. At home I feild strip it and go to work on the barrel with a bronze brush and patches till it's clean.
That old wifes tail about shooting a magizine of plated bullets last to clean the lead out is a joke to me.
I agree, just make sure it's a BRONZE brush, not a steel one.
I rarely use any brush inside the barrel. If I do, a bronze one is best. Don't use those fancy stainless steel ones in a barrel.
However, in my decades of barrel cleaning I think I've found the best method. At least it works for me. First, I soak the barrel with Hoppes solvent and let it soak. While it's wet, I use a patch rubbed into J-B Bore Cleaning Compound. Work the patch back and forth. On a really fouled barrel I'll soak the barrel with Kroil oil. While it's wet, rub back and forth with the J-B compound. Clean and shiny. Then coat with some Rem oil or use the Kroil.
Sounds like you guys are doing it the hard way. I use the stainless brush, put a cleaning patch over it&some rem oil. Push it through and when it's dirty. put a new patch, repeat.I have never noticed any barrel scratching and by the third or fourth patch the barrel is clean. If I buy someone's filthy used gun, I start with the stainless brush& a squirt of brake cleaner. If you hit plastic or wood w/ the brake cleaner have a oily rag nearby to wipe it off.
I shoot heavy, cast bullet loads in my six-shooters, and leading is sometimes a problem. I do clean out some of the lead by shooting about twenty-five rounds of jacketed bullet stuff.
When I clean my guns, if leading is still evident, I use one of those lead-removal cloths, cutting a patch sized square and scrubbing the bore with it. This is followed by a stainless steel bore brush (not a Tornado brush) until the leading is gone. If carbon traces remain, use Brasso or Sweet's 7.62 to remove the carbon. Dry and lightly oil to finish.
Does this harm the bore? My .45 Ruger has been cleaned this way since 1987 and just passed 17,000 rounds fired. It'll still cut playing cards.
Bob Wright
I think Rugers are built like tanks!
Here's a little trick that gun traders use all the time on something their going to sell. Take Semi Crome or fine metal polish and work it up and down the barrel with patches. It will make it shine like brand new. Of corse if you do it all the time I would say, that would not be good for the lands in the barrel. It will get all the lead or copper out I can tell you that.
Most of the bristles on those brushes is a soft metal, but the main wire core that holds it all together is usually steel. I would recommend getting one with a brass core.
Get one of those scrubbing pads that look like real heavy steel wool..Cut off a bit and wind it on a brush,wire or nylon,and run that through your barrel a few times..It will remove the worst leading easier than anything and not hurt the bore..
1. Soak barrel with M-Pro7 for 5-10 minutes. (10+ minute if I get distracted watching MTV's Wild Boyz)
2. With a toothbrush, brush around chamber opening, muzzle and all around the barrel. Resoak again with M-Pro7.
3. Spray some M-Pro7 on bronze bore brush and brush from chamber to muzzle repeatedly. (Same direction of bullet travel.)
4. Run clean patch through chamber to muzzle.
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until patch comes out white.
6. Once done wipe out access and allow barrel to dry.
+1 for using bronze brushes, have been for a number of years
Hot damn, 5+ year thread necro. That's gotta be a record.
Having said that I usually wrap a cotton patch on the brush and dip it in Hoppes 9 and scrub with that. The patch holds some extra liquid and I suppose it reduces the contact of the bristles to the barrel. In any case it carries off the dirt really well.

Seed Leaves and True LeavesPin It
One of the most frustrating things as a beginner gardener is distinguishing whether a seedling is that plant that you planted or whether it is a weed. I would always upload photos to 'Name That Plant' of tiny little seedlings, asking for help in identifying them. Problem is -- lots and lots of plants look exactly the same before they are distinguishable. The kind gardeners at Gardenweb just ignored me when I asked such ignorant questions, and I finally started to figure out the way these things work.
You see, there are seed leaves and true leaves. Once the true leaves show up, IDing a plant is much easier. You don't get true leaves at first though. You get seed leaves. Seed leaves are quite literally the leaves that emerge from the seed. There are usually two and they extend in a 180 degree angle from each other. The plant uses photosynthesis from those little leaves to grow a solid stem and roots and then starts putting out true leaves that are miniature versions of the mature plant. Can you guess what this plant is below based on the true leaves?
So new gardeners, my advice to you is simply to wait. Give those seedlings time and don't weed until you know what everything is. Grow plants in pots so you get used to their germination and growth cycle. Then plant them in the ground and wait...just wait until those true leaves appear. Then you'll know what you are dealing with and can weed effectively. There is nothing like weeding your greens and ending up with a bunch of violets still in the ground and all your spinach seedlings weeded out. No good. So be patient!

Longacre Deployment Management (LDM ) is an enterprise-level CM technique that provides robust, accurate CM functions in broadly diverse development environments. LDM solves many of the problems associated with database systems; and with organizations composed of teams using different technologies, in different places, or formed from different organizations. It is an existing technique-LDM has already been deployed in a complex development environment. This article is not a case study: it provides the technical details of the LDM technique. If you are not a CM specialist, your eyes are going to glaze over.
LDM was developed to address a real need. A recent customer had glaring CM problems in an enterprise that involved many different development technologies (Cobol/iSeries, Java/Linux, .NET/Windows) including a database-intensive 4GL built on an Oracle/Java/Windows development platform. The development environment included different teams, with different management chains. The development teams were spread across several geographically distributed locations. The problems and some solutions are described in an accompanying article, "Case Study: Enterprise and Database CM," by Austin Hastings and Ray Mellott.
An experienced IT manager recognized the problems as being CM problems, and called for help on the CM Crossroads web site. That call for help strongly resonated with this explanation of the underlying mission of software CM, by Wayne Babich:
On any team project, a certain degree of confusion is inevitable. The goal is to minimize this confusion so that more work can get done. The art of coordinating software development to minimize this particular type of confusion is called configuration management . Configuration management is the art of identifying, organizing, and controlling modifications to the software being built by a programming team. The goal is to maximize productivity by minimizing mistakes.
LDM is another way to coordinate software development. Its strengths are support for development of database components, and a high level of abstraction that permits different technologies, different teams, and different geographic locations to be part of the same development effort. According to IEEE Std. 610,
Configuration Management is a discipline applying technical and administrative direction and surveillance to identify and document the functional and physical characteristics of a configuration item, control changes to those characteristics, record and report change processing and implementation status, and verify compliance with specified requirements.
LDM supports or enables all of these elements of CM.
LDM divides into two parts. The front end consists of traditional change tracking entities. The back end is non-traditional, and will need more detailed explanation. Development of the LDM technique was enabled and influenced by the flexible issue work flow definition tools provided by modern issue tracking systems, and by the ITIL Service Desk model.
Many standard CM operations are taken completely for granted-LDM requires a modern CM tool as its implementation platform. Our implementation was built on MKS's Integrity 2006 system, with WebSphere, MKS Implementer, Microsoft's .NET development suite, and a host of other development tools.
Front End
The front end of the process includes a basic implementation of the Task-Level Commit pattern implemented using fine-grained Work Items (tasks) to track specific changes and larger Change Order entities for the usual CM "heavy lifting." The labels Change Order and Work Item are chosen by analogy with the traditional business entities Purchase Order and Line Item. The front end entities in LDM are those most commonly used by developers, and so they are deliberately very common: aside from the simplified life cycle, detailed later, there should be few surprises in the front end for anyone accustomed to a modern CM solution.
Change orders are enterprise-specific. They store the detailed description, test case links, test

Hole Saw Size
I am purchasing a drill for the specific purpose of drilling holes into wood with a hole saw.
For my use, my priorities have been light weight, and 8 amps. Manufacturers report capacity of the drill in wood, steel, and concrete, but they do not specify what size of hole saw may be used.
How does one determine the proper limit of size for a given drill? This is not just a power issue, but also an issue of torque and bearings. How does one pick the appropriate drill for such use?
The Force (is with you!)
What size hole saws you have in mind.
I will warn you that a drill motor with plenty of power and torque will easily break your fingers and wrists if the right size hole saw is used. Sometimes a "D" handle or a right angle drill is the better choice.
Not to mention the fact that once the hole saw bites it can pull you off a ladder, or smack you in the face. Low speed and low torque is the settings I usually use till I get a feel for how the drill bit are reacting. Right angle drills are your best bet, of the corded variety. If this is going to be a one off, or a small project, I'd suggest looking at a rental.
Hole Saw Size
Well, I am using a 3" hole saw and under. I was using my very old Sears VSR 3/8" drill and decided to purchase a higher torque drill to save my old drill rather than destroy it by improper use (thinking particularly about the bearings).
I was looking at the DW505K which seemed to be the best mix of power and light weight. The Sears drill is about 4 lbs, and I don't really want to heft much more than that. No, this does not have the D handle, nor is it a right angle drill (that thought did cross my mind, both of those, actually).
The Force (of One)
A reguler pistal grip drill would twist your wrist off when it grabs, runs at to high a speed and has less torque then a right angle drill. It's not going to have a lot to do with hurting the bearing, it's going to burn up the windings from over heating.
If you want a drill that's going to last your going to have to just deal with some extra weight if you want a heavy duty drill.
I personaly would not buy a Dewalt anything. I've had nothng but trouble with them.
Porta Cable or Milwaulke I think make better grade tools.
Any time your thinking abut buy a new tool check out Amazon.com, for one they have fair prices, in some cases the shipping is free, but what I like is as your looking at the tool look at the bottom of the page. There's reviews from people that owned or have bought that tool.
Some tricks I use when using a hole saw is to drill a hole right where the saw is cutting, it allows the chips to clear, ribbing the outside with bar hand soap, it lubs the outside and reduces friction.
With a right angle drill it's best when ever possible to have the handle up againt a wall so it will not try and spin when it grabs.
For super fast and easy hole cutting buy one of these set or any real plumbing supply with have the single sizes.
It will cut at least twice as fast and far less grabing.
The heavier the physical weight of the tool the better off the operator is when it comes to torque being transmitted into the operators body parts.
What material is being cut?
The cup style hole saws are slow and bind up a lot---for 3" and smaller holes--the auger type that peals out the center of the hole are the preferred type of cutter---
Get a 1/2" Milwaukee corded hammer drill. You can drill through a Death Star.
I picked up a Hitachi hammer drill (their smaller cheaper one) a few years ago for a couple big projects. Holy cow, that thing will blast 3" holes in concrete or brick in a flash (with the right bit, of course). Maybe not drilll through the sun but I think I could get to China with it. Have to clean the rock ouf the hole saw bit a few times, I guess.
What's a "Death Star"?
It was Luke Skywalker's back up plan if the missle failed. If you look closely, behind the seat, on the floor, you'll see the red handle of the drill.
May the force be with you, Bud.
Oh well then good, great, okay, I see.
So ah, ah, did the missle fail?:eek:
Bud, Bud, Bud.... I am not the world's biggest SW fan but I have to ask: where have you been the last 30 years? ;-) BTW, I loved the linked "stupid" video!
After fighting frustration and wasting time with either my 3/8 Ridgid corded drill or a POS 1/2" Harbor Freight (that burned up instantly), I finally went and got the proper tool.....Milwaukee 1/2" right angle drill. Using hole saws or the self-feeding drill bits, the think is awesome and makes the job easy.

To summarise: A close-up on a technologically enhanced foetus with a Hollywood-style voiceover:
For centuries man has struggled to understand his true nature.
What is it which makes us who we are?
Soon, one answer will override all overs.
Followed by a text logo
Who we are is but a stepping stone to what we can become.
What can we take from that? Well, googling for the phrase without quotation marks brings us to a Girl Guide Ceremony, which I suspect we can reject as a direction unless Eidos Montreal really have a sharp-U turn in mind for Deus Ex. More generally, you can - in the context of the actual foetus - take it all as transhuman or posthuman rhetoric. The dual ideas that humanitys ability to sidestep the basic evolutionary forces that have driven the world, and actively craft our future selves.

#LetsTalkBums Twitter Party
Disclosure: I was compensated for this post. All opinions expressed are 100% my own.
It's time again for another #LetsTalkBums Twitter Party with Cottonelle! The last one was hilarious and fun. I loved hearing everyone's stories. I've got a few of my own to share when a Cottonelle Cleansing Cloth On the Go Pack would have come in very handy. I'll quickly share one here and save the rest for the party.
In the summer of 2006, we moved from Edmonton to Pembroke, ON. The plan was to drive ourselves to our destination. It was a military move so they were covering travel expenses and it was also a chance to show the girls our great nation. We a couple hours outside of Edmonton when the strong urge to pee hit me. I have a small, weak bladder and we always need to make lots of stops on road trips so I can use the restroom. The urge to go was something else. You know when you are holding your pee for an ultrasound when you're pregnant? It hurts so much you want to cry? That's how bad it was. My husband said we would stop at the next gas station.
Unfortunately that wasn't soon enough.
I couldn't take it anymore and told him to pull over. I was glad that I was wearing a summer dress so I didn't have to flash the cows or any curious onlookers. I didn't see anyone around, but you never know. Afterwards, I realized I had nothing to wipe with. My husband found some old napkins in the console of the van and said use these. I'm a huge germaphobe and was so grossed out. I didn't want to think if the napkins were clean or how long they had been in there. Let me just say, I keep a pack of Cottonelle Cleansing Cloth On the Go Packs in my vehicle for situations like these. Hopefully, I'll be able to make to a bathroom, but they are there if I need them.
And get this. We drove another two minutes down the road and lo and behold, there was a GAS STATION. Just my luck.
