Yes, it's true. Fake Gamer Girls are only good for bringing out self-conscience drama queens, that only like to jump on whatever is cool at that time in pop-culture just to feel better about themselves. Oh...you thought I meant the girls?
Yes, this tired argument is being revived, for just a moment, for some more speculation. For those of you not familiar with this catastrophic blight affecting nerds everywhere, it goes a little somethin' like this. Nerd Culture has, since it began, been a male only club. Not because the geeks were segregating women, but because popular women, and society both, thought of nerds as a joke. For years us geeks were pushed around and ignored.
But the tide of battle has began to change, and with movies like "The Avengers" and Nolan's "Dark Night Trilogy", pop-culture has finally found a place in their hearts for us, but we have not found such a place for them.
As I mentioned earlier, nerds, for decades, have been subjected to a cruel and unusual torture called loneliness. We, as a culture, are known for being shut-ins. Having no place in the world outside of our Mother's basement. And while this may be a cruel stereotype, we must admit that are hobbies have never been popular among anyone but ourselves.
Known as never to have any sex-appeal, we have just been accustomed to the (wrong) idea that pretty women went for pretty men. And now that pretty women are coming to us,(pun intended) we shut them out, exclude them like they did us. Continue the cruel apartheid that had kept us separated for so long.
But why? Because they are just jumping onto the bandwagon? No. That can't be it. Maybe, just maybe, it could be the fact that these beautiful women were associated with "The Jocks" for so long. A party that held us nerds down (in a toilet, mostly) for so long. And since these women are coming to us, we fear we have become these oppressors. And in our fear that we are these self-imposed monsters, we have shunned women from our ranks. Out of our fear, we have became what we fear the most.
But women are not where we should put the blame. Society is to be blamed. For not accepting us for so long. For thrusting us into the endless chasms of loneliness. And while society has come a long way, it still has a ways to go.
But if oppression is the problem, why do we have a problem with women? One of History's most oppressed persons. Let's entertain that this could be a fad. So what? It will pass and those who are just trying to be cool will leave with the bandwagon, and those who actually find they like our culture will stay. We'll keep our "True Nerds" and even gain some gorgeous geeks!
Really, what I'm trying to say is just relax. Even if we are just getting our fifteen minutes, enjoy those fifteen minutes. Carpe Diem. Yolo! Just accept that we are finally on top. Enjoy it.

Work details
Jake the Philharmonic Dog by Karen LeFrak
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book is a good example of fiction because it is a story about a man adopting a dog that likes music as much as he does and that learns to come to work with him at the orchestra house.
The media in this book is acrylic and tempera.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0802795528, Hardcover)
Like most dogs, Jake loves playing fetch. Unlike most dogs, Jake loves music even more. He loves to wag his tail to the beat of an ordinary day and "sing" with the birds. When his friend Richie, the principal stagehand at the Philharmonic, brings Jake to work one day, Jake is treated to a lesson in real music. He "woofs!" to the tweeting woodwinds and "ruffs!" to the deep horns, but when he hears the entire symphony orchestra practice, he knows to be quiet and listen. And when a crisis develops at that night's performance, Jake steps onstage and steals the show.
Inspired by the real-life mascot of the New York Philharmonic, Jake the Philharmonic Dog is a pitch-perfect introduction to the different sounds and instruments of the orchestra.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:08:17 -0400)
When Jake the dog is brought to the theater to watch his owner, chief stagehand for the Philharmonic Orchestra, work, he discovers a special musical talent all his own--stealing the show to everyone's surprise and amusement!

KensFish food recommendations?
I'm ordering some miscellaneous supplies from KensFish and I'm about $20 short on receiving free shipping. So I figured I'd buy some fish food for my future fish*, but I have no idea what to get.
(*I won't be able to start cycling my tank for another two weeks, so it's very likely it will be at least a month before I'll actually have fish to feed. I'm assuming I'll have to freeze whatever food I get until then.)
Here is what I plan to stock my tank with:
- cories
- a few male guppies
- otos
- tetras (rummynose or cardinal)
- harlequin rasbora
- potentially a ram pair or gourami, but that's farther down the road
- hopefully some hardy shrimpies
I'm looking for a few varieties that would be suitable for the above. What do you recommend?
Omega One shrimp pellets and Omega One tropical flakes.
Love love kens fish! Always hit my $100!
Kens guppy flake
Growth crumbles #02 for adults and juvies
Golden pearls 100 micron for fry
Decap brine shrimp for fry
Veggies sticks with calcium
1 Attachment(s)
You have to try their new catfish sticks. My sterbai go nuts. My shrimp love them too
Now I want some of those. There goes another hundred bucks!!
1 Attachment(s)
Seriously, they are fantastic. As soon as they sink, they're out munching and my sterbai scatter when I come near the tank.
Thanks for the recommendations! I think I'll definitely have to try out the catfish sticks!
What about for the tetras and rasbora? Would flakes or pellets be better?
Quick question, I am looking for some thing small to feed my Boraras brigittae. What do yall suggest feeding them? They were eating Golden Pearls but my cats decided they wanted it and stole the bag of it, and I cant find it anywhere.
What size golden pearls would be best, 200-300 microns or bigger/smaller?
They also took my shrimp food that I ordered, but I found that in front of their food/water bowl with the plastic bag ripped. And broke 4 out of 6 API test kit test tubes. :angryfire
Yes my cats have attacked several bags of things and once they knocked off a whole thing of veggie sticks the dogs are them all. I never found so much as a crumb.
i like the color max flake all my fish like it and even the shrimp do to. makes the red on the columbian tetras really pop
1 Attachment(s)
If you just crush up the flake in your palm and do it in the tank they will eat it. That's what I do for my danio erythromicron. They are pretty small but they have no problem. Good choice of fish btw. Chilis are awesome little fish

Heavy Rain Causes Toccoa Sanitary Sewer Spill
Toccoa Water/Wastewater Department officials said that heavy rain caused a brief sanitary sewer spill in the city's system on Monday.
The city reported that just before 12:30 p.m., personnel located an overflow from a manhole located just outside the fenced area of the Ward Creek Liftstation on Fernside Drive.
In an effort to minimize the overflow, the city said it went to use a vacuum truck to manually transport wastewater from the Lift Station to the Eastanollee Wastewater Treatment Plant on Rose Lane but by the time they got there, the overflow had stopped.
The city said the overflow stopped after about 30 minutes and totaled about 2,000 gallons.
Water/Wastewater department officials said that about three inches of heavy rain in a 12-hour period caused the two pumps to the station to be unable to keep up with the incoming flow, even though both pumps were running at maximum speed.
The overflow entered Ward Creek, which is a tributary to the Tugalo River and Lake Hartwell.
The city said there are no known water intake points within 20 miles of the spill.
City officials went on to say that all appropriate notices have been posted and the required testing regimen will start as soon as possible.
The city also said it is continuing work to find and eliminate sources of rain flowing into the sanitary sewer system.
Meanwhile, drier weather is expected today after downtown Toccoa received 3.84 inches of rain Sunday evening into Monday evening.

It's really tempting as a reporter to try to extract some relevance from local sports teams by using pop culture or referencing area events. I mean, with 82 regular season games, you have to mix up the questions somehow.
But one local television reporter took it a step too far and learned the hard way that Randy Wittman doesn't play that game. Comcast SportsNet's J. Michael has the scoop.
Coach Randy Wittman just went ballistic on a local TV reporter comparing franchise to a circus #WizardsTalk #WizGrizzlies #NBA
— J. Michael(@JMichaelCSN) March 25, 2013
The exact question: "the circus was here this past weekend. Is it a relief to uthat this is no longer a circus?" #WizardsTalk #NBA — J. Michael(@JMichaelCSN) March 25, 2013
Wittman: "You didnt seriously just ask me that question, about the (expletive) circus being in town? Are you (expletive) me? #WizardsTalk — J. Michael(@JMichaelCSN) March 25, 2013
Wittman (cont): "You called this organization a circus at one time. So Im not going to answer that question…." #WizardsTalk #NBA
— J. Michael(@JMichaelCSN) March 25, 2013
"I'm part of the damn circus. It's not a circus around here…. I don't want to hear that no more. That's disrespectful" #WizardsTalk #NBA

The word on the street is that it was a WUSA reporter. My money's on Dave Owens, who loves asking clown questions. Apparently quite literally.
UPDATE: It was actually WUSA reporter Kevin Jones, who offers this explanation via Twitter:
Was looking for one of his "voodoo" answers. Caught him at the wrong time. He's the man and I didn't mean any disrespect. We're cool

You'right about doing the research. Scars with severe pain would defeat the purpose. My interest in skin peels began 25 years ago. I met someone who gave herself "blue" peels. At the time, they were relatively unknown in the U.S.A. ... READ COMMENT

Jayatirtha Dasa

Teachers (Acharyas)
Jayatirtha Dasa (James Edward Immel, also known as Jayatirtha Swami, Vijaya Acharya, Tirthapada, November 13, 1948 in Saipan – November 13, 1987 in London) was one of the leading disciples of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and a guru within the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (commonly known as 'the Hare Krishnas' or ISKCON). He was appointed a life trustee of the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust by his Guru Swami Prabhupada who also placed him in the managerial post of the fledging Spiritual Sky company. Under Jayatirtha's able management the company became a multimillion dollar concern and the Wall Street Journal covered the company's success with a front page article.
Early years[edit]
Jayatirtha Dasa was born as James Edward Immel in Saipan, US Trust Territory of the Pacific. He was a business and philosophy major in college.[1] In 1969, James was initiated into the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, whereupon he was given the name Jayatirtha Dasa. In the beginning of the 1970s he served as a president of the Los Angeles ISKCON temple and as a president of Spiritual Sky Enterprises, a group of family-style businesses founded by ISKCON.[1][2] At the time, Spiritual Sky was the largest incense manufacturer in the US,[2] and the only legitimate business of the society.[3]
ISKCON GBC member and initiating guru[edit]
Jayatirtha later went on to become a senior leader and preacher within the movement, a member of its management body known as the Governing Body Commission, and the head of ISKCON in Europe.[4] In 1975, Jayatirtha was sent by Prabhupada "to take over and organise" the Hare Krishna movement in Great Britain.[5] Jayatirtha resided with his family at Bhaktivedanta Manor, a beautiful manor house donated by George Harrison to ISKCON. He travelled extensively throughout the world under the direction of Swami Prapupada and performed the Vedic ritual of Pratista (deity installation ) in numerous temples. He was commended by Swami Prabhupada for his refined abilities in arcana padati (the process of deity worship) which set the standard of deity worship throughout the society. He co-compiled a handbook under Swami Prabhupada's direction to assist all authorized students in that process. He was also chief editor of The Maha Bharat Times; a news paper which highlighted the concerns of the Hindu community of Great Britain.[3]
The last place Swami Prabhupada visited in the western hemisphere before his departure was Bhaktivedanta Manor, where he embraced Jayatirtha saying "your name is Tirtha I have come to take shelter of you," before returning to Vrindavan in India to take Samadhi (die). Jayatirtha was the only member of the G.B.C. who did not follow Swami Prabhupada back to India to witness their Guru's departure.[3]
In the aftermath of Swami Prabhupada's death, Jayatirtha was one of eleven disciples selected to become an initiating guru.[6] He was located in London and was responsible for initiating disciples and managing ISKCON in Great Britain and South Africa.[7] Due to his capabilities and organizational power, the Hare Krishna movement has significantly expanded and developed in those countries.[8]
In December 1980, Jayatirtha bought Croome Court, an estate in Worcestershire 25 miles (40 km) south of Birmingham.[9] He renamed it Chaitanya College, looking to introduce an ISKCON college degree in the Vaishnava tradition.[9] The estate included a two-hundred-room mansion, a chapel and various outbuildings.[9] It was built in 1750 for the Earl of Coventry by Lancelot "Capability" Brown.[9] The design of the interiors was made by Robert Adam.[9] The property included 40 acres (160,000 m2) of fields and landscaped parkland.[9] During the World War II, the place served as a residence for Queen of the Netherlands.[9] Jayatirtha spent hundreds of thousands of pounds restoring the property and turning the chapel into the Hare Krishna temple.[9]
Jayatirtha frequently lectured about the divine love of Radha and Krishna.[10] He had been holding long kirtan sessions, which were considered by other GBC members to be interfering with the street collections and accumulation of funds by the society members. His concentrated focus on spiritual practices were in some respects a cause for concern. Jayatirtha always maintained that a divine flow of spiritual energy descended upon him at that time and refuted the allegations that his deep meditations were the result of taking LSD. The meditations which he entered into during kirtan (congregational chanting) sessions were conducted with composure, often with his eyes closed, whilst sitting crossed legged and with a straight back.[3]
Jayatirtha's responsibilities within ISKCON required him to make regular visits to Africa, India, U.S.A and other countries although he resided with his family in the U.K. His influence in South Africa was one of the major contributing factors to reversing the trend of Hindu conversions to Islam. During his visits to India, in his free time, he would travel to remote holy places for meditation.[3]
The Governing Body Commission suspected that Jayatirtha's meditations or so called ecstasies were the symptoms of drug use.[3] Jayatirtha became "the topic of serious conversations among GBC members".[11] During a GBC meeting in Los Angeles (called to deal with problems of another Hare Krishna guru, Hansadutta Swami) Jayatirtha was relieved from all his responsibilities in ISKCON for one year and required to renounce his wife and take sannyasa.[10] The sannyasa initiation ceremony took place in LA Hare Krishna temple and was conducted by Kirtanananda Swami.[10] Although Jayathirtha begged and pleaded with the GBC not to enforce the sannyasa order upon him, especially as he had not consulted with his family members, his pleading fell on deaf ears.[3]
GBC members hoped that taking sannyasa would help Jayatirtha to overcome the problems in spiritual life, but Jayatirtha was unhappy in ISKCON after that.[10] He started to "shift his loyalty away from ISKCON leadership to Shridhara Swami", a godbrother of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who lived in West Bengal.[11] At the spring 1982 GBC annual meeting in Mayapur, Jayatirtha was told, that if he did not stop seeing Shridhara Swami, he would be removed from his leadership post in ISKCON.[11] In response, Jayatirtha walked off the ISKCON Mayapur property taking nothing with him and took refuge in the Gaudiya Math ashram of Shridhara Swami.[10] Shridhara Swami, being a senior Gaudiya Vashnava leader, was concerned about the growing tension in ISKCON.[10] He tried to mediate various problems, but usually only drew fire on himself as a result.[10] Many of Prabhupada's disciples, disillusioned with the existing "zonal guru system" in ISKCON at the time left the organization and turned to Shridhara Swami and Gaudiya Math in search of spiritual renewal.[10] Consequently, the GBC considered Shridhara Swami a threat, especially when such senior ISKCON members as Jayatirtha took his side.[10]
Withdrawal from ISKCON[edit]
At the 1982 meeting, the GBC instructed Jayatirtha Maharaja that he must forgo any contact with Sridhara Maharaja or else leave ISKCON, otherwise he would be condemned for "failing to cooperate with the ISKCON movement".[3] To stabilize Jayatirtha's zone, the GBC turned it to another guru, Bhagavan, who reinitiated some of Jayatirtha's disciples.[10] Under Bhagavan's leadership, Hare Krishna devotees in UK went on a year-long marathon to collect funds to save British ISKCON properties.[10] Unable to pay high mortgage payments, Bhagavan eventually had to sell Croome Court estate.[10] ISKCON in the absence of jayatirtha's managerial skills was becoming unviable.[3] Some of Jayatirtha's disciples fled from London to India and joined their guru, creating "the first formal schismatic offshoot from ISKCON".[11] Jayatirtha's new splinter group became based in London and he renamed his former ISKCON disciples with biblical names.[10] Finally, he left his London temple and went to Nepal with a small group of students and founded The Order of Pilgrims which later became established in South Africa.[3]
Literature and philosophies[edit]
A booklet "Notes of a Pilgrim" written by Jayatirtha shortly after his departure from ISKCON, highlights his personal experience and reflections of the society and its leaders. He translated the Bhagavad Gita from Sanskrit to English, "Bhagavad Gita: The Eternal Song Goes On". Jayatirtha was an admirer of Mahatma Gandhi and wrote articles and gave discourses on the Gandhian principles of ahimsa and satyagraha. He was the founder of the concept for the Gandhian Organisation for Peace and Liberty (GOPAL TRUST) a registered charity currently running projects in Jagannath Puri, Bay of Bengal, India. He purchased a large plot of land in Puri in conjunction with H. Desai, a Gandhian freedom fighter, for the purpose of establishing a Gandhian ashram there.
On November 13, 1987, five years after Jayatirtna had left ISKCON, he was murdered by his disciple Antony Tiernan.[12] Antony Tiernan was viewed by many of Jayatirtha's serious minded students as a man on the edge with a fanatical and unpredictable streak, who proclaimed himself to be the topmost disciple. Although he was caught redhanded, he was not tried for murder and pleaded guilty to manslaughter on grounds of diminished responsibility. The trial date was changed at the last moment and although friends and family of Jayatirtha had flown from America to London to attend the trial, it went ahead unbeknown to them, his family in the U.K. and his students alike. Not a single person known to Jayatirtha was present in the court room other than the murderer, who had slashed a surface cut across his palms at the scene of the crime to solicit pity upon himself. The bereft community that had been working with and under the guidance of Jayatirtha, while waiting for the date the trial was to commence, where shocked to read of the outcome in the newspapers. A proposal by an editor to publish his obituary in ISKCON World Review was turned down by the editor-in-chief, Mukunda Goswami, in spite of the fact that Jayatirtha was one of the senior members of ISKCON and an early supporter of ISKCON World Review.[13]

Although the 32-year-old model has just filed for divorce from the cage fighter she has been pictured spending time with him at a posh hotel in Sussex, South East England, but claims the pair aren't back together and are simply being "grown up" about their split.
After being photographed eating dinner together at the £375-a-night Alexander House Hotel yesterday, the blonde beauty, who is also known as Jordan, wrote on her twitter page: "Me and Alex are not back together but are still good friends its called being grown up and adult."
The couple are said to be on better terms since Alex agreed to leave Katie's mansion in Surrey, South East England, which she shares with her children Harvey, eight, Junior, five, and three-year-old Princess Tiaamii, and destroyed intimate pictures that were taken during their 11-month marriage.
Her spokesperson told The People: "They met up together and thrashed out a lot of problems before enjoying relaxing spa treatments. Jordan thought his gesture to destroy the pictures was a big step forward and they can remain as friends in the future."
A pal of the pair added: "For once they didn't end up shouting at each other and agreed to behave amicably from now on.
"They laughed and joked about the old times they had enjoyed together."

Probate is the legal process used to carry out a person's will after their death; a probate attorney advises you on how to perform the steps in the process. In general, once you have identified and collected the dead person's belongings, including their money, property, and other assets, you pay the person's debts and taxes. Once all debts have been paid, you distribute their money and property according to the language of the will. If there is no will, the laws of the state where the dead person lived control how the property is distributed. A probate attorney helps you plan what happens to your property when you die, as they can probate wills and act as your probate court estate representative. A probate attorney also represents family members and beneficiaries wishing to challenge wills.

I finaly have discovered why my 686 has been haveing difficulty setting of primers.
According to a man at Smith and Wesson, every screw on the gun is made to be screwd in as far as it can go. Then, they take an air-wrench and further tighten the screws. The screw on that sets the mainspring is set by fileing the tip of the screw in such a way that it is supposed to be screwd in as far as it could go.
Well, after hand tightening the screw on the main spring, I proceeded to fire ~70 rounds, and at the end of the day the screw on the main spring had managed to come about 2 turns loose. Later, as I was cleaning the gun, the forward screw on the rear sight had almost come competely out. By the way, two calls to S&W were made, the first call they pointed out the main spring screw should simply be fully tightened, after reporting the loosening of the screws they said that at the factory they used an air wrench to tighten the screws and so they were probbably simply not tight enough. . .
So I guess I need to hunt down the appropriate screw-drivers for every screw on the gun (as a lot of 'em have been comeing loose) and possibly even hunt down an air wrench. . . :roll:
However, if the screws had all been tightened down at the factory, using a air-wrench, to a point where they would not come loose, then I doubt even an air-wrench will fix my problem. So, I have a strange feeling I'm going to have to put lock-tight or a similar product on every screw.
Does this sound like a good or bad idea considering the situation with the screws on the gun? I really did expect the quality on this gun to be better. . . It's only had about 1,000 rounds through it.

The centrifuge is an instrument used in nearly every biomedical research lab across the globe.
Centrifugation is a process by which a centrifuge is used to separate components of a complex mixture.
By spinning laboratory samples at very high speeds, the components of a given mixture are subjected to centrifugal force, which causes more dense particles to migrate away from the axis of rotation and lighter ones to move toward it. These particles can sediment at the bottom of the tube into what's known as a pellet, and this isolated specimen, or the remaining solution, the supernatant, can be further processed or analyzed.
The principle component of a centrifuge is the rotor, which is the moving part that spins at high speeds.
Rotors can be fixed in position, or a centrifuge can use multiple rotors fixed atop part called the spindle.
Usually, the centrifuge rotor will have a lid that is screwed down tightly to prevent samples from flying out.
Many centrifuges will have a refrigeration unit that allows the internal temperature to be controlled during the spin.
They also have knobs or buttons for inputting the parameters for each run, which can include the duration of the spin, the temperature, and the magnitude of the spin in terms of speed or relative force.
Spin speed is measured as RPM, or revolutions per minute. RPM is tricky value, because it's not the speed of the centrifuge that causes particles to separate from a mixture, but the force acting on these particles.
The force acting on a particle is related to the radius of the centrifuge rotor, and since different centrifuges have different rotor sizes, different forces can be applied at the same speed, or RPM.
Centrifugation strength can also be quantified as Relative centrifugal force, or RCF. RCF is generally presented as a multiple of earth's gravitational acceleration.
RCF is expressed as the product of the radius of the rotor and the square of the angular velocity divided by earth's gravitational acceleration.
RCF can be related to RPM by the following equation, where r stands for the radius of the centrifuge measured in centimeters.
Using this equation can mean the difference between a failed or successful experiment, but you don't have to apply this calculation for every new procedure. Centrifuges often come with nomograms that can help convert RCF to RPM quite easily. Use a ruler to connect the radius of the centrifuge and a given RPM value, in order to obtain RCF.
To begin spinning your samples consider temperature. If you are using a refrigerated centrifuge, then you will want the machines internal temperature to reach the desired value before starting the spin, or you can find other ways to cool the rotor.
Immediately before a spin ensure all of the caps on your tubes are tightened and secure.
When you loading your tubes, ensure that each sample is counterbalanced with another sample directly across from it.
If you've only got one tube, then make another tube that can act as a counterweight.
If you've got three tubes, you can arrange them in a triangle so they are equidistant from each other.
Balancing weights in a centrifuge is critical. Centrifuge rotors reach high speeds and have a lot of kinetic energy. If improperly balanced, the entire centrifuge unit can be propelled from its resting place and do serious damage.
Once you confirm that the rotor and lid are secure, start the centrifuge and hang around until it's reached the desired speed. If you notice a problem call and experienced member of the lab to come help you.
When your centrifugation is complete, you should be able to see your biological specimen at the bottom of the tube in a pellet, which has separated from the rest of the solution, or supernatant.
The supernatant can be removed by either decanting it – a fancy name for pouring it off, or it can be aspirated – a fancy term for using suction to remove it.
The purified specimen can then be returned to a solution via a process called, resuspending. Repetitions of centrifuging, or spinning cells, followed by aspirating cells, and resuspending in buffer, is often referred to as, washing cells.
Now that you've seen some basics of centrifugation, its time to have a look at some of the types of centrifuges out there and the procedures you can carry out with them.
Fixed angle rotor centrifuges are probably the most common type of this instrument you'll encounter in the lab. Many table top centrifuges fit in this category.
These centrifuges, in which tubes sit in a fixed and angled position, are used in differential centrifugation protocols. In these protocols, a series of centrifugations at different speeds can be used to purify biological specimens like animal cells. Typically, these protocols involve several cell washing steps.
In contrast to fixed angle rotors, swing rotors have flexible tube holders allow samples to rotate outward. These rotors are beneficial in applications like density gradient centrifugation, where biological samples migrate to distinct layers of gradient media. This type of centrifugation is useful for quickly isolating one cell type from another, or for isolating individual organelles.
Lastly, the ultracentrifuge is the big brother of all the centrifuges you'll find in the lab. It can spin in excess of 70,000 rpm, which makes it well suited for the isolation of small particles, like DNA or viruses.
Because of the high speeds of this centrifuge extra care should be taken to ensure that the loads are properly balanced and that both the rotor and lid are secure.
You've just watched JoVE's introduction to Centrifugation. In this video we reviewed: what a centrifuge is and how it works, how to operate and run a centrifuge, some safety precautions, and different applications of your centrifugation. Thanks for watching and remember to balance your tubes.

This video is meant to introduce a student to some of the basic principles of centrifugation, as well as the instrument's basic operation. For example the speed of centrifugation in rotations per minute, or RPM, is contrasted with relative centrifugal force, or RCF, as a measurement of the magnitude of centrifugation, which is independent of rotor size. In addition to concepts and basic use, safety precautions relating to centrifugation are discussed, as well as the types of centrifuges and centrifuge rotors that exist.

Outside of those two major works, I've never personally thought of doing a book costume because I'm a visual person. What gets me interested in a costume is seeing it. A description in text is not enough to get me excited about a costume no matter how vivid and well it's described or how immersed I am in the book. However, I have done book costumes for others. I did a MordSith (Sword of Truth) last summer for a friend of mine who went to DragonCon. I have yet to see the pictures of her in it, though. She makes the perfect MordSith, she's diminutive and cute with a long braid and yet hides so much evil behind that package.
...so if anybody was at DragonCon last year and saw a MordSith, I'd like to know!
LOL I remember back in 7th grade I was Hermione for Halloween. Totally book based (as this was 2 years before the movies were released and there were no reference images out yet). It was a black robe and cloak. Noone knew who I was until I told them XD I did get in a bit of a fight with a girl over how to pronounce Hermione's name (we were both wrong... I said Her- me- un and she said Her- mone). That was one thing the movie cleared up XD

How do I get my Alaskan Malamute to stop pulling on the lead while walking?
Ive spent a fortune getting my Alaskan Malamute trained and tried every kind of leash, he still pulls alot on the lead while being walked. He is 15 months old and quite strong. Any suggestions on how to improve his walking skills!? Its extremely frustrating and tiring being dragged on every walk!!

What kind of collar do you use?
For Natcho, I used to use a prong collar. ((The collar was the spikey things))
It recinacts a bite to disipline a dog.
If you don't like collars like that, try a martingale dog collar.
Toby must be a big dog, so if he pulls, yank him back and say 'HEEL' but make sure after he heels to loosten up on the leash.

Pulling is instinct for these dogs, that's what he's bred to do. But it takes 2 to pull, so he must feel he's getting rewarded when he does it. Do lots of about turns (go the opposite direction he's pulling in). You'll get dizzy and it'll take a long time, but by doing this and not allowing him to get to where he wants by pulling, he'll eventually get the idea. Just do it in short spurts at first because you'll both get too frustrated if you keep at it too long. Put a different collar, head halter, or a no pull harness with the ring on the front when you're taking him out for exercise - train separately from exercising. Best possible scenario is to wear him out doing something else (fetch?) before you train. Much easier to train a tired dog!

Easier dogs will give up their pulling with a few good snaps of the leash combined with a stern "Bad dog!". You can work up to forceful corrections with the leash doubled up in both hands and your whole body behind it. But you don't want to use any more force than you need. One gentle technique I like is to just stop when he pulls. He wants to go. If you move forward when the leash is slack, and stop when he pulls, he should quickly figure out the only way to get to go, is not to pull. This is about teaching him not to pull, not getting somewhere. The man that taught it to me said "If in a half hour you haven't made it out to the front walk, fine, you have taught him a lesson. Pulling the dog backwards is a good technique too.
Still, you may want to switch to a head collar. The leading brands are Promise, Haltie, and Gentle Leader. They have a strap going around the dogs nose looking something like a muzzle. They work by pulling the dogs head around. No other way gives you such great control with so little force. The prong collar is now a dangerous relic of value only for its macho looks. Do not consider using one without hands on instruction from somebody with plenty of experience with them.
Aster answered on 2/21/10. Helpful? / 0
I agree with Rosie. It is very tiring and tedious work but he will get the message. Try a gentle leader collar. You will have much more control of his head. But you have to be more stubborn than him. Kali used to drag me all over the place. She weighs 117 lbs. and I an no match for her strength. Between the gentle leader collar and switching directions, she now walks like a lady. I do occasionally have to give her a refresher, but she no longer drags me everywhere. You might want to tire him out a little before your walk. Malamutes were bred to pull sleds, so its part of their nature.

you can try a head collor it helps a lot of dogs. or a harness. every dog is different my gsd lexie does great with the harness but not the head collor. Sounlds like like your dog pulls a lot might want to try the head collor first you can get one at wal mart or pet smart.

The Dog Whisperer says having a leash high up on the neck (right behind the ears) is the easiest way to control a dog when walking. You can use something you already own and get it to fit this way, or you can check out the Illusion Collar at www.cesarsway.com. I personally have used the Gentle Leader and find it very helpful in reducing pulling. I have the same issue with my Weim pulling, pulling, pulling!

I have found that you cant go wrong with a halti collar. i have used them with all my mally's and they are by far the best to use. there will be the initial "getting used" to it on his/her face but if you let the dog wear it around the yard and house with it on,initially with no lead attached, they will get used to it. after about acouple of days if the dog is tolerating it attach a lead and let them run around the yard supervised ofcourse with it on. if the dog tries with its front legs to get it off clap or say aahh and it will stop. then start holding onto the lead so the dog gets used to the pressure. with these haltis if the dog is pulling you, you will only be pulling back the direction of its head and not the whole body weight which is a lot better. see if you can get the one with the safety clip that attaches to their collar that way if the dog somehow got it off you wont lose your dog cause its attached to the collar around its neck.

Best Places to Hook Up in Abilene – Pain's Top Five
So I was recently asked about the best place to hook up at in Abilene. My initial reaction was "why are you asking me?", I then followed with a crude joke. Then again, that's what you expected, right? So, if you're looking for a few great places to meet (supposedly) single people in Abilene or at least someone to hook up with, then feast your eyes on this my friends.
I must say this list is in no particular order.
1. ABILENE Bars
Doesn't take Einstein to figure out that great places to hook up are bars…meaning "places that serve drinks" not "places that serve you when you drop the soap". If you find the right bar, you can meet (then possibly hook up) a lot of people. Best of all, there's plenty of liquid courage to help you with that first step. Besides, you really don't have to have great social skills at a bar, because everyone else is on your level after a drink or two.
Which bars? Well, that depends on the kind of person you're looking for I guess.
I tend to frequent places that I know have hot gals, great drink specials, good food, and live music.
Here are some of the Abilene bars you may have that person you can hook up with: Chelsea Street Pub, The Midnight Rodeo 3, Rack Daddy's, The Lucky Mule, The Firehouse, and Seafood Tavern.
All of those places are great bars to meet some great new people and for the best live music and drinks in Abilene.
My 2 favorite bars to hook up at no longer exist…RIP The Zone and The Depot.
2. Your Workplace
Yeah, I said it. The place which forbids you from romance with co-workers. Gotta be smarter than I am right now. Don't blog about your hook up in the work place. Now I'm not saying I've ever hooked up with anyone I worked with, OK, maybe I am. But I'm not saying which work place I did the deed. Dang it, now it sounds like I actually did the deed at my place of employment. By deed, I meant hook-up, but come to think of it, we have a really big conference room table that would be great to host a "conference". I do have to warn you though, if you hook up with someone you work with, there's a great chance it won't end well and you'll be facing a trashed office, keyed car, slap across the face, human resources investigation, mean looks and very hateful stories. Not that any of that ever happened to me. Just sayin'. So, if your ass can handle all that, then the work place is indeed, a great place to hook up.
3. Church
Seriously, you do the math. Look at all those dots and arrows, those are all churches in Abilene…and that's just within the loop. Think about all of the rural churches. Holy cow! Now I'm not saying you need to go to church just to hook up, but if you meet someone while hangin' with the Big Guy upstairs, then that's like a double whammy, right? I'm sure many churches will be up in arms because they think this heathen named Frank Pain is saying the church is the best place to get laid. I'm not saying that, I'm just saying "why have a singles group at church if you have no intentions of getting singles together?". For the record, I've never hooked up with anyone at church…in Abilene. However, I've talked to many who have and they say that's close to the top of the list on places to hook up. If you want to know where all these great churches are then check em out on Google Maps.
4. The Grocery Store
Many, many TV shows have featured hook ups at the grocery store and we've all heard those stories, right? Well, I have to admit I've never hooked up at an Abilene grocery store, but I have seen some seriously, smoking hot ladies at the store…if they only served shots in the produce section to help with the first step. Why does The Painman have a hard time making the first move in a grocery store? Because a few years back I was walking up behind this beautifully curvaceous figure that had just picked up a cucumber (yeah, my mind went there too) when I made the first move. Yep, she was a he. Cut your freakin' hair if you plan on having a nice butt and legs. The pink silk shirt didn't help either. All jokes aside, the grocery store is a great place to meet someone new, especially if you're buying the same products. Use those products as a conversation starter. If that doesn't work, go to the beer aisle and quickly chug a few beers before store management sees you then go back for another shot.
(Rock 108 and its staff does not condone theft of alcoholic beverages)
Here are some great grocery stores in Abilene to do your "shopping": HEB at 1345 Barrow – United Supermarkets (4 locations) – Albertson's at 4450 Buffalo Gap Road – Wal-Mart on Southwest Drive and on the Northside.
5. Camp Barkeley Dog Park
Granted, Abilene hasn't had a dog park that long but now we have "Hook Up Heaven". You both go there because you love dogs, which means you have a soft, compassionate side…and so do they. Simply start talking about their dog, and of course, look for that ring. The 2 key words are "their" and "ring". Don't talk about your dog, unless she/he asks and in that case, switch the conversation back to their canine. You two just met, they don't want to hear about you and your mut, they want to brag about their own. Show interest then simply ask "who named the dog, was it you or your better half?". That's always a good one to throw in because even though there's no ring, that doesn't mean they're single. Once you've figured that all out, maybe your little puppy will get to play while the 2 dogs play…if you know what I mean. If you don't know what I mean, then ask Chaz, because those were his words.

Michael Higdon's late equaliser gave Motherwell a deserved 1-1 draw with Dundee United in the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier League.
Trailing to a first-half own goal from captain Stephen Craigan, Stuart McCall's side battled back and missed a string of chances before Higdon struck in the 85th minute. It ends a run of three successive defeats for the Fir Park side, but they still dropped down to fifth place after St Johnstone beat Hibernian.
Dundee United are still searching for their first victory of 2012 but the draw moved them back into the top six.
United manager Peter Houston made just one change, with Stuart Armstrong replacing Willo Flood. Motherwell manager McCall also made just one change, Steve Jennings returning for Tim Clancy.
After four minutes, Tom Hateley's curling free-kick was parried by Dusan Pernis, United defender Garry Kenneth clearing the loose ball. Gary Mackay-Steven was unlucky with a rising drive in the sixth minute after showing sublime skill.
Motherwell striker Higdon almost broke free to convert Nicky Law's cross midway through the first half - but Pernis' fingertip save denied him. Within seconds, Motherwell goalkeeper Darren Randolph made a stunning stop from John Rankin's stinging drive, after great play from Jon Daly and Mackay-Steven.
However, United took the lead in the 28th minute. Paul Dixon's low cross was bundled over the line by the Motherwell captain, under pressure from Johnny Russell. Replays showed that Craigan got the final touch to Dixon's cross.
Keith Lasley's long-range drive was then held by Pernis, while the Slovakian also denied Higdon after great work from Jennings. Motherwell carved out another opening, but Jamie Murphy's low drive was expertly gathered by Dusan Pernis.
Henrik Ojamaa's pace and trickery earned a free-kick for Motherwell in the 66th minute but Steven Hammell's curling effort drifted narrowly wide. Motherwell were starting to pin United back and Higdon was inches away from connecting with Nicky Law's cross in the 69th minute.
Higdon was having a hard time for Motherwell and fired a wayward shot into the stand after great play from Ojamaa. However, his perseverance paid off in the 85th minute when he latched on to Ojamaa's cutback and fired high past Pernis. Ojamaa then went down under Dixon's challenge in the box, but referee Stevie O'Reilly waved away the claims.

Dusk to dawn light
I have a dusk to dawn light that is not working. The bulb appeared to be blown. I installed a new bulb and it still does not come on. What would you recomend to check? What is the best way to check the sensor?
make sure you have power to the unit.
usually, the photocell will fail in the always on position.
the easiest way to check the photocell is to cover it with tape. I usually just stick a glove over the large ones. it may take a few minutes for the photocell to turn on.
There should be 3 wires on the photocell. most likely, black, red, and white. The black should be always hot. The red should be hot when the photocell is on. The white should be connected to your neutral.
this is all assuming a 120V fixture/photocell.
Signal guy have right idea but let me add this part is that when you replace the bulb make sure they are matched up to the old one.
The most common way to kill the photocell is the power surge that useally toast them. ( even use wrong voltage will do it as well. )
Is your Dusk to Dawn luminarie is Mercury Vapour ( white/bleuish colour ) or High Pressure Soduim ( Orange colour ) or CFL ( Whiteish colour ) or Metal Halide ( useally whiteish colour with either a pink or bleu colour will show up <not much but just engough to noticed>)
Second thing do you have a wall switch that control this luminaire or not ?
If so you may want to make sure you have good power source before you get up there and do the testing.
Signal Guy.,
For the photocells for the failure mode I know few will be stuck on mode when they go bad and few will not come on at all all it depending on which photocell you order it.
Most photocells I order them useally have luminaire be on in fail mode in most place but few are reversed ( common with large street luminaries )
A friend of mine always says that if I'm not careful, I'll learn something new every day. :-)
Thank you for the helpful information. Yes, it does have a wall switch and I do have voltage going to it. Is it possible to bypass the photo cell to test the lamp?
For the button type as I will post the photo and the twistlock verison those two are most common style we used either North Americia side and European side.
Here the button photocell look like .,
Now here the twistlockers look like.,
Just keep in your mind the twistlock will show few differnt style and shape but functionwise they are the same ( just pay attetion to the voltage rating for all photocell types.
The type on the light I have is the twistlock. Thank you so much for the helpful information.
OK now we are getting somewhere.,
As one of the poster ( signal guy ) did suggest to use the dark gloves to cover the photocell that will take couple second up to couple minutes before they will turn the luminaire on.
For myself I keep a shorting cap with me some case it will be more than basic troubleshooting then I use the shorting cap. ( not very many place will stock the shorting cap for it but it justifed the cost if you do troubleshooting or the Luminarie do come with photocell but want to bypass it due it controled by timer so it do happend )
When you untwist it will turn a little probly about a eighth turn not very much turn but you will feel it.
But when you put it back on or replace you will have to make a note which way the Nord ( North ) is facing due the twistlocker will have one blade is larger than other two.
Hope that will help ya.
If I remove the photocell and cover it with tape should I have continuity between the 2 "hot" blades?
Unless it allready got a magic smoke builded up ( you can able tell if the whole thing is black inside or smell burnted.
It will be wise idea to pick a new photocell they are not that expensive IIRC about 10 Euros or so for a good one the cheaper one will run about 8 Euros keep in your mind it depending on where you get it from.
I did notice that the photocell was black inside. Your information has been very helpful. Thank you.
Don't forget to check the date on the new photo cell.
I replaced the photocell. I also found a wire inside of the light itself that was broken in two. I repaired the broken wire. I wrapped black tape around the photocell and checked the voltage at the light socket. I had 122 volts. When I installed the bulb it still would not come on. I replaced the bulb to be sure. The light is still not working. I am not sure what else to check since I have the proper voltage at the socket. Do you have any suggestions?

Taiwan Interest-Rate Swaps Hit 2011 High on Fed Tapering Concern
Taiwan's interest-rate swaps rose to the highest level since June 2011 on speculation the Federal Reserve will start cutting bond purchases next month that have driven demand for emerging-market assets.
Five-year contracts have climbed 32 basis points since Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke indicated on May 22 that the central bank could pare its monetary stimulus, compared with a 33 basis-point increase on benchmark 10-year bond yields. Global funds sold $235 million more Taiwanese shares than they bought today, taking net sales this month to $1.4 billion, according to exchange data.
"At the moment, short-selling of bonds is difficult as liquidity isn't good enough," said Ray Cheng, a fixed-income trader at Sinopac Securities Corp. in Taipei, referring to a trade where investors sell a borrowed asset in the hope of buying it back at a lower price. "Interest-rate swaps are a better tool to bet on rising yields."
The swaps were little changed at 1.37 percent as of 4:56 p.m. in Taipei and touched 1.38 percent earlier, the highest level since June 2011, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The overnight interbank lending rate was little changed at 0.385 percent, a weighted average compiled by the Taiwan Interbank Money Center showed.
Taiwan Dollar
Ten-year government debt fell for a third day, with the yield rising one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 1.62 percent, according to Gretai Securities Market. The yield on the 0.875 percent notes due January 2018 dropped one basis point to 1.155 percent.
The Taiwan dollar was little changed at NT$30.035 against its U.S. counterpart, compared with NT$30.032 yesterday, Taipei Forex Inc. prices show. The currency was 0.1 percent stronger 15 minutes before the 4 p.m. close.
The central bank has sold its currency in the run-up to the close on most days since March 2012, according to traders who asked not to be identified.
One-month non-deliverable forwards rose 0.1 percent to NT$29.93 per dollar, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. One-month implied volatility, a gauge of expected moves in the exchange rate used to price options, gained four basis points to 3.49 percent.

Sacrifice Number One (Piece #05)
[Pre-requisite: Irie Kyosuke]
[Pre-requisite: Dismemberment murder]
I guess being half-asleep causes you to miss an important phone call. It was not until I forced myself to wake up that I realized that the incessant noise was the phone ringing and it had to be very important for it to be ringing for such a long time.
I looked at the clock and it said 2:00 AM. What could it be to call me at this late in the hour?
Irie: .Hello, this is Irie.
Takano: Im sorry for waking you up, Director Irie.
It was Takano-san. She had never once called me for personal reasons. And she is the de facto head of the Irie Facility and was responsible for all the research that goes on at that place. If shes calling me at this late in the night, it must be of extreme urgency that needs immediate attention.
Irie: .Sorry for being late. You said that there was a patient in his terminal stages?
Takano: Yes. And as luck would have it, its just when we wanted a living sample too. *chuckle chuckle chuckle chuckle*
At first, I was suspicious that she forcibly kidnapped a poor patient from somewhere.
The man was put into isolation in the underground research section of the facility. He seemed to be more deranged than putting up a resistance when I saw him on restraints. His speech was slurred and it sounded like he was angry and remorseful at the same time. It was like seeing a child fretting for some candy.
It was obvious that he was not normal.
Irie: Lets anesthetize him to sleep. Hell endanger himself in this state. He may end up suffocating himself by swallowing his own tongue.
Takano: I wanted to make some more observations, but oh well.
One of the staff members readied the anesthesia.
It makes sense that any normal person would become agitated when one is suddenly transferred to a strange place like this in restraints. But, this man level of franticness was beyond that. The people that mustve captured him was most likely Okonogi and his Yamainu team, and Im very surprised how they were able to put him down
According to her, she said that she coincidentally met a terminal-stage patient as on her way home from the clinic. She took him to the clinic for some preliminary tests, and the results showed that there was a high possibility of him being positive.
Of course, Im not going to swallow such a story on how she found him. But it was apparent that this man was showing symptoms of the terminal stages of the syndrome. And, he was indeed what we were looking for in order to advance our research a living sample
Irie: And who is this man ?
Takano: *chuckle chuckle* He was holding a package wrapped in old newspapers. Care to guess what was inside?
Irie: Ugh ., .What the heck is this ?
Takano placed the bloodied package wrapped with newspaper on the stainless dish. It was pretty obvious that it wasnt going to be something to look forward with the blood stains and all. However, Takano had a grin on her face as if she was trying to show me a surprise
Irie: Oh god ., Jeez, this is awful .
It was a persons right arm !
But the man on the restraints has his own right arm, so this isnt his. Then who does this arm belong to ?
As a doctor, Irie was used to seeing body parts, so he wasnt that outraged. It was however, the way it was cut off that sent chills down his spine. He immediately noticed that this right arm wasnt amputated surgically. It clearly showed signs of what kind of brutality went into literally chopping it off.
Takano: Judging by the circumstances, Im sure that it was him himself that chopped this arm off. *chuckle chuckle chuckle*
Irie: So this man is a possible suspect who mustve committed a corpse mutilation nearby.
At this time, we had no idea who this right arm belonged to. But the mystery was solved in the next morning when we learned about the dam construction managers murder and that the police was still looking for the right arm
Takano: This man seems to have some criminal background and is currently on probation. Yet he committed this crime so the thought mustve run through him that he should hide it.
Irie: Circumstances aside, Im sure it mustve been something in which he wouldnt be let off too easily with several years in jail or the like
Takano: *chuckle chuckle* Basically hes just a shit of society. Wouldnt that fact relieve your hesitation in dissecting him, Director Irie?
Irie: We dont know if he was a shit of society who built up his criminal past and became ferocious from the Hinamizawa Syndrome, or if he was a person who repented his past but unfortunately became a victim of the syndrome and turned violent again. If its the former, well .but if its the latter, then theres no sin towards this man.
This is the terrifying part of the Hinamizawa Syndrome. There is no way to distinguish whether or not if a certain criminal act was caused by that persons own intentions, or as a byproduct of the symptoms from the Hinamizawa Syndrome.
Yet, what is the primary cause of defiant social skills in the first place? That was what Irie yearned to learn about. Detest the crime itself, but not towards the criminal. Is throwing them into jail the right answer? If the crime was caused subconsciously by an unknown tumor in the brain, then the criminal might be cured from doing such acts again.
In theory then that there are no sins in this world. There are only poor souls who arent recognized by everyone that they are really patients waiting to be treated. In the medieval ages, people who were seen as heretic were tried as being under the influence of witchcraft and were imprisoned or burned at the stake. Several centuries later, common medical science now acknowledges that they were people who needed proper treatment and care. Peoples perception and understanding changes over time. Criminals of today might be seen as patients requiring medical attention several centuries into the future. Crimes are not committed by evil thoughts; they are caused by some kind of disease. The search for this was indeed, Iries lifework.
And researching about the Hinamizawa Syndrome is an excellent and rare case study. For Irie, unraveling the mysteries about this disease holds a special meaning to him But in order to shed some light, .it requires a live medical sample That in itself is a tremendous sin but it cannot advance without doing so either. The Irie Facility was authorized from the beginning to take such drastic measure if necessary. And they made sure that I had the resolve to do what must be done when I was appointed as the director of this facility.
And the time has come. This would be a significant step towards the research of this mysterious disease. But I was still reluctant and hesitant to carry it out
Yes, I have opened up patients body without consent. As a matter of fact, what I did was very similar to what I am about to do to this man. .But, there is one big difference.
The things that I did in the past were done for treating the patient. I did them to help them re-live their lives. And I did it for what I thought was good for the patient. But what I am about to do know is not treating the patient. In the end, this man will be dead. And his death will be done through inhumane methods. His life will be prolonged as much as possible by cheating death, while we perform cranial anatomy on this live patient
Takano: Director Irie? Are you listening?
Irie: ..Huh? Oh Im sorry. Can you repeat it again?
Takano: I suggest that we should immediately draft a proposal to Tokyo to perform this anatomy. This is a rare and live test sample that we have on our hands thats in its terminal stage of the syndrome. It will need prudent attention if we are to handle this procedure in a delicate manner.
Irie: .Right. I understand. Lets do it right away.
Takano: Since its bureaucracy were talking about, it will take several days for our draft to go through. Hence, I would like to do some observational tests on the subject by relieving it from anesthesia.
Irie: .Isnt that a bit dangerous? Even if the person is restrained, we dont know what might happen.
Takano: Its a live sample. Just opening up his brain and looking inside it is no fun. *chuckle chuckle chuckle chuckle .*
Takano-sans unusual anxiousness gives me the creeps But, as a person of science and medicine, Takano-san reaction is correct. Perhaps I am the one that is wrong to be thinking like this I am here to do research. So, the correct reaction for a person in my shoes would be to be in full excitement of the tests that are to come. Yet I am still hesitating.
Was this the limit of my level of commitment? My predecessors who unraveled the mysteries of medical science underwent very courageous methods that were unheard of in their time. And those were the men and women that established modern medicine that we know of today.
I saw and performed surgeries on numerous brains. And some of my patients did in fact die. But, I firmly believed that what I was doing was for the better of the patient, so I never had any feelings of guilt or remorse for what I did. That was even after the law changed saying that what I was doing was unethical.
If I had the time to feel guilt and remorse, it was my duty as a doctor to advance medical science and research so that their deaths would not have been in vain. That is how my predecessors have done to advance medicine.
Yet, changing the word from treatment to anatomy brings down weight this big to me. Am I just a wimp who is only capable of sidetracking my predecessors and not being able to create my own path for advancement of medicine?
Takano: Oh, whats wrong, director? Are you still feeling grumpy for being awakened at such an hour ?
Takano-san pretended to worry about me using such words but she knows. She clearly discerned about the hesitation that I am having right now. And shes saying that while mocking me for being naïve against the big step that needs to be taken.
I shake my head to get rid of whatever drowsiness that I had left.
Cmon Irie, remember what my resolve was. Remind myself on why I am here today. My hands are already tainted with blood. But if I dont do anything now, those blood stains would have been in vain. The only way I can repay my patients is to move forward for this grand research that I am embarking on
I shake my head once more in order to awaken my spirit as a researcher.
Irie: Im sorry, I had something on my mind. Takano-san, please prepare the draft for Tokyo. Please let me know on which dates to begin the procedure.
Takano: Oh, of course. No problem. chuckle chuckle chuckle! Drowsiness mustve ran away for something this exciting!
My duty is to perform the highest level of work that I am capable of so that this mans death would not be in vain. If more blood needs to be shed, every drop must be used sparingly for research.
I scold the staff members for their unusual excitement in being able to perform an anatomy, and immediately returned to my office .

I understand that BMW, for example, with their Z4, has this or a similar issue, and I've heard that the issue exists with the Honda Fit, too.. Many Companies are in denial about this (or are stonewalling). Toyota, with their '09 and up Corolla, denied it... It only happened, I believe, with a small segment of the car population -- but ultimately they issued different software for complaining owners, though this is really on the hush-hush. The NHTSA (sp?) got involved. Your discussion of the problem does not seem like it's strictly software -- but rather, the on-center feedback device, and the correlation of same to the rack power assist. In the case of the Toyota's, the rack fought-back so fiercely, owners could not, typically, overpower the steering that had its own mind!
I suspect that you are a bit unwilling to share the official Ford communication, in that Ford probably considers it a mistake to have shared it with you.
If Ford is forthcoming with info, like for example, issuing a TSB, that's be great -- but if Ford starts behaving like Toyota, 'cause of the TRW issue, then that'd certainly call for stronger measures.
I am hoping this will be resolved with the new production of cars, and that I can get a sense for what VIN and later, a person could buy, and know that the problem has been resolved.
Any further info you can share with the community would be much appreciated.
Sorry, if, by the above-attached quote you think I am a conspiracy theorist and that I am attempting to whack Ford; I am not. I suspect that you are not aware of just how many Mfr's are having far-reaching and costly troubles with their EPAS systems. In addition to those mentioned in the quote, I am also aware of 5-1/2 years' worth of production of Chevrolet Cobalts requiring EPAS steering column replacement, as well as substantial problems with the Malibu in that regard. Not all of the problems, of course, are the "indexing" between rack position, force on the wheel, on-center position etc... that would appear to be the issue with some 2012 Focus'.
One might expect, with big cost implications, Mfrs are somewhat reluctant to reveal all of these matters. Most certainly Toyota was reluctant in the extreme. What is disconcerting is when, in many cases, service writers or shop foremen indicate to owners "it's performing as designed" or "there's nothing wrong with it". This happened in spades, with the Corolla's -- and the chorus included a litany of owners who were not affected with the problem.
My bad, as I recall now that the EPAS assist is rack-mounted on the Focus. Hence steering rack replacement is required to deal with the bad run of parts on some of the cars. By comparison, the assist is column-mounted on the Fiesta and the Cobalt and on a number of other small cars. Like many systems, they are integrated, and individual components are not replaceable.
If any members are aware of which 2012 Focus VIN numbers and later are immune from this potential problem (which obviously does not seem to affect all cars) please pipe-up.

Afghanistan vows to "set standards" on child labor in mines
By Michelle Nichols
KABUL (Reuters) - For around $2 a day some Afghan children as young as 10 work long hours in the country's coal mines with no safety gear and, until now, no government mining policy to protect them.
While national law allows Afghan children to work up to 35 hours a week from the age of 14, they are not allowed to do hazardous jobs such as mining. But after 30 years of conflict and with many children the sole family breadwinners, aid and rights groups say the laws are flouted and not enforced.
As Afghanistan tries to attract foreign investors to develop an estimated $3 trillion worth of untapped mineral deposits, Mines Minister Wahidullah Shahrani has been working to expand and clean up the industry and has drafted a policy officially setting the minimum age for coal mine workers at 18.
"We drafted the first-ever social policy guidelines to make sure that when it comes to the labor force, and when it comes to health and safety, and most importantly on the issue of child labor, we will have some type of standards," he told Reuters.
"Previously we did not have any official policy at the Ministry of Mines."
The guidelines are due to be implemented in the next few months and mining inspectors would be employed to ensure the rules are upheld, Shahrani said. But critics have questioned the government's capacity to manage the mining industry.
Since Shahrani became minister at the start of 2010, he has drawn up the ministry's first business plan and signed Afghanistan to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) as a candidate country. He was optimistic that by April 2012 Afghanistan would get full EITI compliant status.
Afghanistan's rich mineral deposits have been trumpeted as the key to future prosperity, but experts say the bounty is many years, even decades, away and point to massive security and infrastructure challenges for potential investors. Continued...

Chip Kelly gravitated towards the familiar in his first NFL draft.
Four of the Eagles' eight picks (Zach Ertz, Matt Barkley, Joe Kruger and Jordan Poyer) were from Oregon's conference, the Pac 12. LSU, USC and Stanford were the three teams that beat Kelly over his final two years as head coach of the Ducks. The Eagles' second, third and fourth-round picks in 2013 (Ertz, Bennie Logan and Barkley) were used on players from those three programs.
"I did notice that a little bit," said Stanford defensive lineman Josh Mauro with a smile. Read more »
