New on Netflix Instant Streaming REVIEW: The Puck Hogs
Another Netflix Review guest post from Bryan James Dougherty. Enjoy.
The Puck Hogs (2009)
Director: Warren P. Sonoda (Unrivaled)
Writer: Eric Lunsky
Starring: Jim Annan (Repo Man), Jason Blicker (The Day After Tomorrow), Liam Card (Textuality)
Genre: Action, Sports, Comedy, Hockey
Review: There have been many great Hockey movies over the years; Slap Shot, The Mighty Ducks, Les Boys and recently, Goon. These are films that encapsulate the purity and excitement the sport inherently possesses and reminds fans why they love the game. The Puck Hogs is a film that understands why these films are successful and imitates them to almost parody-like effect. Not to say I didn't like the film.
I can't dislike this film because it's not really about Hockey. If this film were about the 12th annual butter-slathering championships it would not have been different. In fact, it couldn't have hurt as they could have done that more believably than play hockey. This mockumentary is campy and lacking seriousness, although the latter was probably somewhat unintentional. It's light-hearted and doesn't try to make a statement. And most surprisingly, it's funny at moments.
All my complaints about the film are small and do not affect the film too much, except that no one affiliated with the production of this film knows much about the sport. How do I know? Take this line from the coach of the Puck Hogs:
"Shoot at the net!"
This is advice I would expect to hear one poacher tell another poacher, not a guy who is supposed to be coaching Hockey players. It's something I imagine a women's basketball player would scream during climax. How that line made it in to the film is absurd but not implausible.
If it had tried to be a Hockey film instead of a film featuring Hockey, I would have resisted it wholly because I take hockey seriously probably due to my otherwise uninteresting character. I don't know. The point being that the greatest strength of the movie is that it doesn't go deep into the game because it would have failed horribly. Since it didn't, it stands as a mediocre sports comedy with some redeeming attributes.

New on Netflix Instant Streaming: 2 Months, $2 Million
Creator: Terrence Sacchi (Facing Trauma), Paul Reitano (Facing Trauma), Brandon Gross
Starring: Jay Rosenkrantz (The Micros, Deuces Cracked), Dani Stern
Genre: Reality, Poker, Sports
Episodes: 10 Episodes
Network: G4
Why You Should Watch It: I hate to say it but I can't imagine you would much enjoy this show if you have never played poker, don't watch poker, or know nothing about the game. The show isn't centered around the actual playing of the game, it's more about the goal of making $2 million dollars and the summer Vegas adventures of four friends, but I'm not sure some people would appreciate the lifestyle or stories in the show. It took place during a time when playing online poker, while not the easiest to do in the USA, was still a large business. Since the infamous Black Friday last year, things for the online poker world, in the United States, look pretty glum. So, the playing you see in the show can't really be done at the same scope anymore. Sadly. The four friends, Dani "Ansky" Stern, Jay "KRANTZ" Rosenkrantz, Brian "flawless_victory" Roberts, and Emil "whitelime" Patel all share a Las Vegas home for the summer while, collectively, trying to make $2 Million dollars. Each week they have friendly competitions on who makes the most money and the loser has to usually do something humiliating as punishment. It also shows the different lifestyle that a professional poker player lives. It's defiantly a good watch if you like poker, and even though you might not know much about the game, give it a try. It's only 10 episodes after all.

Can someone get me some advice on this matter?
How or will the output impedance of a power supply affect the frequency response (esp low freq) of a head amp

This is entirely conditional on about a zilion things, and that may not even cover it.
If the output impedance of the PS is constant at all frequencies (which is rare) there is no real difference at low and high frequency. For sure, the system as a whole will probably suck, but it will suck equally everywhere. There are probably some arguments that say that this is a great way to do something, I just cant think of what.
Since you rarely have a *constant* high-output-impedance power supply things get interesting. In very very very general terms when the output impedance of the PS increases the output level of the amp will decrease.
There are certain guidelines that apply to mono, stereo, balanced amps, and amps that drive the load from one side (AKA SE amps, even though they are largely not) after this BUT I cant be bothered.
And to restate you asked how much 1 apple and 1 banana weigh, so this is only an average answer. The 3 cherries and 2 oranges you weigh (after asking about 1 apple & 1 banana) could weight much less. Or more.
Advice on the matter - just build low output impedance supplies.

Well if the PSU output impedance is relatively high, and the amp's decoupling capacitors are relatively small, then you can get low frequency roll off due to the decoupling capacitors having low impedance at higher frequencies and higher impedance at lower frequencies.

Any new haircut of Greece's debt should only come as a reward for Athens implementing the reforms it has signed up to, European Central Bank Governing Council member Jens Weidmann said on Friday.
A row between euro zone governments and the International Monetary Fund over how to make Greece's giant debt mountain manageable is holding up the release of 31 billion euros ($40 billion) in emergency loans needed to keep the country afloat.
IMF officials have argued that some writedown for euro zone governments is necessary to make Greece solvent but Germany, the biggest contributor to the bloc's bailout funds, has repeatedly rejected the idea of taking a loss on holdings of Greek debt, saying it would be illegal.
I regard as an open question whether the need for a haircut in debt arises, Weidmann, who also heads the German Bundesbank, said at an event organised by the newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung in Berlin.
A haircut would only make sense as a reward for completing a reform package that puts the country's finances on a sustainable basis, he said.
Once that was achieved, the country could then see its debt load cut and return to markets for funding instead of having to rely on bailout funds.
One can pose the question whether the leap of faith that you give (with a haircut) sets the right incentives or whether it would not make sense to set a haircut, which one will need in the end to regain capital market access, as a perspective for when the reforms... have been implemented, Weidmann said.
Banks, insurers and other private investors holding about 206 billion euros of Greek bonds took big losses on the nominal value of their securities earlier this year as part of an earlier bailout, but the ECB did not participate.
Weidmann stressed the importance of the right timing for another such move, saying now would be too soon.
I can do a debt writedown today (but) if the budget, the deficit are not sustainable, I will be in the same situation again in 10 years time as today and that certainly would not make sense, he told the conference.
Weidmann's fellow Governing Council member Luc Coene on Thursday became the first ECB policymaker to say that another haircut on part of Greece's debt was probable.

Semiconductor design is starting to see the adoption of 3D IC packages. These packages involve stacking multiple bare die vertically using connections that go directly though the silicon. Through-silicon vias (TSV) result in shorter and thinner connections that can be distributed across the die.
This reduces package size and power consumption while increasing performance due to the improved physical characteristics of the very small TSV connections compared to the much larger bond wires used in traditional packaging. But TSVs complicate the test process and 3D ICs require new approaches to solve this problem.
A challenge is how to test the TSV connections between the stacked memory and logic die. There is generally no external access to TSVs, making the use of automatic test equipment difficult at best.
Functional test approaches (for example, where an embedded processor is used to apply functional patterns to the memory bus) are possible but are slow, lack test coverage, and offer little to no diagnostics. Therefore, ensuring that 3D ICs can be economically produced calls for new test approaches.
Tackling this can not be put off. Applications involving the stacking of one or more memory die on top of a logic die, for example using the JEDEC Wide IO standard bus interface, are ramping quickly.
One possible approach to the test and diagnostics challenges of memory on logic TSV connections builds upon built-in self-test (BIST) techniques that are used to test embedded memories within system-on-chip (SoC) devices.
In this approach to 3D test, a BIST engine is integrated into the logic die and communicates to the TSV-based memory bus that connects the logic die to the memory.
For this approach to work, two different techniques to existing embedded memory BIST approaches are necessary.
One is an architecture that allows the BIST engine to communicate to a memory bus rather than directly to individual memories. This is necessary partly because multiple memories may be stacked within the 3D IC, but mostly to allow the BIST engine to test the memory bus itself, and hence the TSV connections, rather than just the memories.
Test algorithms for covering bus-related failures are used to ensure maximum coverage and minimal test time. Because of this directed testing of the memory bus, the 3D BIST engine can also report the location of failures within the bus, which enable effective diagnosis of TSV defects.
The second difference is that it is fully run-time programmable. Using only the standard IEEE 1149.1 JTAG test interface, the BIST engine can be programmed in silicon to adapt to different memory counts, types and sizes stacked on top of the logic die.
Because the BIST engine is embedded into the logic die and can't be physically modified without a design re-spin, this adaptability becomes essential. With full programmability, no re-design is needed over time even as the logic die is be stacked with different memories and memory configurations for different applications.
An automated flow is available for programming the BIST engine (for wafer or final package testing) to apply different memory test algorithms, to use different memory read/write protocols, and to test different memory bus widths and memory address ranges. The patterns needed to program the engine through the JTAG interface pins are generated in common formats, such as WGL or STIL, to be loaded and applied by standard automatic test equipment.
Because of its embedded nature implementation of this approach relies on ensuring minimal impact on design flows and schedules and no impact on design performance.
This can be accomplished by integrating the BIST engine into the logic die and fully verifies its operation. The flow operates at the RTL level and is fully compatible with all standard silicon design flows and methodologies.
Impact to design performance is avoided as the BIST engine intercepts the memory bus with multiplexing logic placed at a point in the functional path with sufficient slack.
Engineers considering designing in 3D will want to feel confident that these can be tested without excessive delay or risk.
This embedded approach for testing TSVs between memory and logic die can provide optimisation between test time and test quality.

Medical Weight Loss in Torrance, CA
Many times weight loss is resistant to exercise and calorie cutting. This is because there can be other reasons for difficulty losing weight that need to be addressed. Metabolic imbalances including hormone imbalance, deficiency of proper nutrients to activate hormones, stress, and toxic buildup are frequently overlooked as contributing factors in the struggle to lose weight.
At the Southern California Center For Anti Aging, we strongly believe that a weight loss patient should fully understand his or her health and metabolic profile before choosing a weight loss plan. For this reason, a patient's complete medical profile is developed through an in-depth medical history, physical exam, and laboratory analysis. The laboratory analysis includes screening for metabolic imbalances, diabetes, heart and kidney disease, cholesterol, lipids, inflammatory markers and blood count. Southern California Center for Anti-Aging weight management programs are designed to correct any underlying metabolic imbalance, to assure proper nutrient supplementation, offer nutritional guidance, stress reduction, and exercise. There are several plans to choose from and each will be individualized to address your specific needs.

text: Bendy baking revolution or floppy fad? So you've seen these rubbery baking trays in the shop, and have finally convinced yourself that of course they're not going to melt all over your oven the first time you use them. Maybe a friend recommended them. Or maybe you just saw them on Masterchef and want to give them a try. However they got your attention, it's true that a wibbly-wobbly cake tin is great for the novelty value, but will it perform just as well as your old metal bakeware? The pros and cons of silicone Our tests of the main silicone bakeware brands showed that there's little or no difference between silicone and metal cooking performance. So, why switch to silicone? Here are the pros and cons: Pros The big advantage of silicone bakeware is its ease of use: It's flexible. It can be rolled up, folded or stacked. It can be put in the dishwasher without rusting. It's very light. It won't corrode, scratch, dent or peel. Cons But there are also downsides: Transferring the bakeware to the oven when it's filled with heavy raw ingredients can be difficult because some types of silicone are very floppy. It can be expensive. A typical muffin pan costs from $15 to $50 – much more than standard metal, or even non-stick bakeware. While silicone is 'non-stick', most brands still need to be greased with every use to ensure the baked items come out easily. How floppy is too floppy? It's not hard to imagine what could go wrong with a tray full of hot food that sags and wobbles when you lift it. A little bit of bendiness helps with turning out cakes and muffins, but anything too soft could spell spilled food and burnt fingers. We've found that flexibility can vary with different brands of silicone bakeware, and some even come with stainless steel elements to counteract the floppiness. Tip: It's a good idea to use a metal baking sheet underneath all silicone bakeware to keep things stable. What else to look for Greasing Although they're non-stick, most trays will need greasing every time. Some will only need greasing before first use (unless they're washed in the dishwasher). Check the manufacturer's instructions. Firmness Check the firmness of the silicone. Will the tray sag too much when filled with raw ingredients? Reinforcing ring Some cake pans have a removable reinforcing ring to help with support. Handles Look for firm handles for easier lifting. Cleaning Is it dishwasher-safe? Will it fit? Check for ridges and indents where food could become stuck. Cost Prices range from $10 to $50.

American Idol: Top 12 Live Results!
March 17, 2011 06:00 PM by Lisa Princ
Last night on American Idol on FOX we watched as the top 12 took the stage with songs from the year they were born. Tonight we saw the results as well as a performance by season nine winner Lee DeWyze! Keep reading to find out who was sent home this week!
American Idol kicked off the top 12 elimination results show with a performance of "Born To Be Wild" sung by the guys mixed with Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" sung by the girls and of course it would not be complete without the Ford Music Video. Ryan Seacrest then announced that the compilation album was released this week and everyone in the audience was given a free copy before it was time for some results. Jacob Lusk, Lauren Alaina and Casey Abrams were the first three called up to the stage and Jacob is the first one told that he is safe. With Lauren and Casey left Ryan eased Lauren's mind by sending her to safety and then focused on Casey who was also sent to safety.
Next Ryan called up Haley Reinhart and Paul McDonald for the next round of reviews and after going over their performances from last night, Paul was sent to safety and Haley was told she was in the bottom three for the second week in a row. After a brief commercial break it was time for our reigning champion, Lee DeWyze to take the stage and perform his new single "Beautiful Like You" and I have to be honest, I missed the show last season so this was the first I have heard him, and in my opinion it was a beautiful song. The crowd loved Lee as well as they were on their feet and clapping along with his performance and Lee told us that it was great to be back.
Time for more results on American Idol and Ryan called up Scotty McCreery, Pia Toscano and James Durbin to the stage and after reviewing Scotty's performance last night, Ryan sent Scotty to the couch and to safety. Then it was Pia's turn and after reviewing her performance she was also sent to safety. James was up next and Steven said he saw a little of himself when James performs and then James was also sent to safety. Stefano Langone and Naima Adedapo were next up to the stage and after a quick review of their performances, Stefano was deemed safe while Naima was sent to the bottom three with Haley. Thia Megia and Karen Rodriguez were next up and Thia was told she was safe as Karen was in the bottom three yet again.
Finally after a rocking performance by The Black Eyed Peas, it was time for more results and the ladies were brought back up to the stage. Naima was then sent to safety and we were left with Karen and Haley in the bottom two. Karen was then told she was the contestant with the least amount of votes and Haley was sent to safety. In her last chance for the judges to save her, Karen performed Mariah Carey's "Hero" while surprisingly adding her own Spanish twist into it. After the performance Randy announced that the decision was not unanimous and they would not be using the save tonight – Karen would be going home. From the looks of Jennifer, my guess is that she voted to keep Karen. Good luck to Karen Rodriguez!

Proper Piercings
Some body piercings may not be subtle, but they should always be done safely
Last year, I walked into a body piercing shop in Culver City, Calif., and made a decision: I wanted a cute body alteration. I was tired of staring at other people's body décor, wishing I had the courage to join the club.
So, after considering the idea for nearly a month, I finally decided to get my nose pierced.
I envisioned getting the smallest nose stud ever, one that would be nearly undetectable. However, I was shocked to learn that I needed to wait six weeks before I could change the not-so-cute/not-so-undetectable starter stud to one that I preferred.
Nearly two months later, I purchased and began wearing the nose stud of my dreams. It was small and as appealing as I imagined it would be, but soon after, a problem arose. No matter how often I cleaned the site of my piercing, it was red. It crossed my mind that perhaps the piercing hadn't healed properly.
Months of pain and redness later, my problem was solved, thanks to a chance encounter with Matthew Baker, APRN, FNP-C, an advanced practice registered nurse at UT Health Services, part of The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) School of Nursing.
Baker noticed my infamous red right nostril and asked how long my nose had been pierced. After I gave him details and explained that the redness was a recurring issue, he suggested that I purchase a new, stainless steel nose ring because I was likely allergic to nickel. I did just that, and the redness is now a thing of the past.
Dangers that exist
My situation is not a rare one; people are often allergic to jewelry that contains nickel.
The most common jewelry placed into a new piercing contains nickel. Baker says an allergic reaction to nickel might present with a rash or bumps on the skin at or near the piercing site; itching; redness or changes in skin color; dry patches that may resemble a burn; or, in severe cases, blisters and draining fluid.
These days, ears and noses aren't the only parts of the body being pierced. Belly buttons, tongues, necks and genitals — just about any body part you can imagine — can be adorned with jewelry. Although body piercings are popular, they come with several associated risks, including infection, allergic reaction and scarring.
Taking necessary precautions and ensuring sanitary and stringent aftercare can help prevent serious problems, but does not guarantee that problems won't occur. "Most non-cultural piercings are by nature unhealthy, however the body is an amazing vehicle with adaptive abilities to overcome or tolerate our misdeeds," says Cleverick D. Johnson, DDS.
Johnson leads the Urgent Care Clinic at UTHealth School of Dentistry and has seen several cases of infected piercings. He says patients who choose to get oral piercings have a risk of infection. "The most significant infections I've seen were hepatitis B and C," he says. "The most common adverse reactions are swelling and bacterial infections."
In addition to infections, Johnson says oral piercings can cause gingival (gum) recession and other dental issues. Piercings in the lip can damage gums by constantly rubbing against the surface. He also warns that some tongue piercings can cause damage to teeth.
Is it worth the risk?
Unfortunately, the new stainless steel stud I purchased isn't as small (or cute) as I'd like, but it will suffice for the time being. I don't plan on changing it unless I find a nose ring that is certain not to cause another allergic reaction. After all, part of my face is at stake here.
With my piercing, I've learned a valuable lesson. Whether you want a body piercing for self-expression, cultural beliefs, or simply because you want something "cute," it is important to consider the associated risks.
In addition to jewelry, all piercings come with the risk of infection. Baker says body piercings in some areas, including lips, tongue, belly button and genital areas, have had increased rates of infection and are essentially more risky than others.
When piercing areas that are inherently covered with more bacteria, such as the tongue, those micro-organisms can enter the bloodstream and underlying tissues to cause serious infection. Since the symptoms of infection are comparable to the aftereffects of the piercing, patients are not always immediately aware of problems.
Johnson believes that a person's actions should be measured by potential risks and benefits. "If the potential adverse risk far exceeds the benefits for strictly cosmetic procedures, they should be avoided," he says.comments powered by Disqus

After the initial hiccup, Bhoothnath Returns picked up in the evening and night shows, Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote - does that mean more adults than children are watching the movie? Nostalgia?
#BhoothnathReturns Fri ₹ 4.07 cr nett. Picked up towards evening/night shows.

Katydyn Exstream Purifier Bottle
Great for day hikes!
Great little bottle for day hikes! I wouldnt take it on a multi day trip, as I have a katadyn pocket for extended trips.
The water capicity could be greater. If you have a source for water, just scoop and sip! Its that easy! You're going to love my nuts! This unit will keep you hydrated and cool.
Easily clips to your belt or pack!
Excellent item
I have this bottle clipped to my pack. its real convienient on the go. And although i use the hiker pro filter on all backcountry trips this bottle is quick and easy to fill from a stream or a public fountain. Used this as a backup in europe and africa where bottled water during a tour or hike was pricey or unavailable. Great for hotels in those 3rd world spots where i can quickly filter the tap just for brushing my teeth.Bottomline: it works!!!
Good to Go
This product works really well in many cases! Definately approve for the avid hiker. If your a survivalist though your going to run into some drawbacks with weather. I am a survival instructor in Washington and we get roughly 4 to 5 feet of snow in the winters and into the single digit temperature range, this product is not insulated at all and your water will freeze in less than 30 min.
To the company; if you could make an insulated model that would withstand cold temperatures that had a larger bite valve (diameter)for larger flow of water, then I might be interested in purchasing this product in large bulk i.e. 200 a year.
Good Product
Yes its a little heavy... so what. Yes it is a pain to prime...again, so what. When my buddies, who use pumps, ran out of water on the trail, we thought we were going to be in a little trouble. thankfully i had the Exstream. we found a small trickle of water coming out of a rock wall but that was all I needed to fill the bottle. The pumps could not work here because there wasn't a pool of water. i was able to ignore the funky taste after the second day.
excellent product - it delivers
I've read all the prior 7 comments, and I'll try to address some of the complaints (that I found rather unfair). This purifier bottle (when filled) is a tad heavy, and it remains weighty after squeezing out the usable water, because the filtering system (3 stages) remains inside of the bottle, and the filtering system also remains wet (hence a bit heavy even when the bottle is effectively 'empty'). The weight did not bother me, as I was grateful not to be lugging around 20+ liters of bottled water. Regarding the taste, yes, there is a noticeable iodine taste, but that is the point of having an iodine stage filter -- it's a virustat. I much prefer the rather mild iodine taste to getting a stomach full of nasty bacteria/viruses. If you cannot stand the taste of iodine purifier systems, then the only real option is to load up on bottled water -- a rather impractical task (and possibly dangerous) if you are in the middle of nowhere. When assembling the bottle, do NOT throw out the paper inside of the bottle until you remove the first-stage filter -- you will find a charcoal filter (i.e., initial stage filter) wrapped inside of the paper. (I nearly threw it out, but thanks to a below comment, I unwrapped and located the filter. NOTE TO KATADYN MAKERS: please improve the packaging so that your buyers don't toss out the wrapped up filter!) Regarding the pain of priming, yes, you must prime the 3-stage filter -- it takes time (if I recall correctly, it's approx. two bottles of water squeezed out, and then a few hours of full-bottle sitting). Priming is required in all water purifiers that I know of...including home Pur brand water purifiers that need to have water run through it before use. If your circumstances permit, try priming your bottle before heading out to the backwoods. I was able to prime before leaving home -- this kept my filter stages wet and primed before dipping into skanky water. Another random note -- when your bottle runs low, you will have to squeeze harder than when the bottle is full. I think this hard-squeezing is a reasonable expectation, given that you are squeezing a smaller volume of liquid through a 3-stage filter. If the filter clogs up (which mine eventually did after about 20 refills), have a replacement filter kit handy. I found the clogging reasonable, given the amount of nasty stuff in the water I was filtering. (I read a prior comment criticizing his/her Katadyn crapping out after two days...well, if the water source is dirty, then, yes, the filtering system will clog up. I would have liked to have been able to reverse the flow direction in order to blow out some of the gunk, but I'm guessing that this would be nearly impossible (and possibly unhygienic) given that tainted liquid may end up on the wrong side of the final-stage filter. Bottom line: I used the Katadyn system per directions, and I kept hydrated and did not get any gastroenterological illnesses. I was truly amazed that such a product exists in such a handy form factor. If you want high volumes, then you'll need to stick with the big pump filters. For mobility/backpacking, this is a great purifier.
Bought this filter to use in Nicaragua. Great design but the filtered water tastes AWFUL to my taste.
Used in on a trip to Cancun
I used the smaller version of the ExStream bottle as my water bottle while vacationing in Mexico. I kept the filter in my waste bag in case I couldn't locate a bottled-water source. This is a great product gave me piece of mind that I could still drink the tap water if bottled water wasn't available.
I did my back packin' 15-25 years ago with iodine tablets, so when I read about filter bottles taking out bacteria and virus and the smaller the filter the more suckin' and squeezin' necessary, I was leery of buying one for my grandson.
He reported back that there was no problem at all with the Exstream, it drank just fine and he's not sick yet. Way to go!
good filter
A nice filter inside a bottle. I only had one problem with it. The first was that the bottle itself was filled with paper, kind of like when you buy shoes. So I just took out the paper, but the problem was the actual filter had two pieces, one of them was inside the paper, and I did not realize it until I read the outside of the bottle when I was miles away from civilization. So half of the filter did not come on my trip, though the other half worked great and I did not get sick. What a great thing that you could lose half of it and it still works perfectly fine.
lesson learned
Worked well until the second day out in the boondocks, then crapped out, clogged after maybe two usesone of the reasons I left days earlier than planned. I will use the space for a liter bottle and regular pump/filter next time. The brand is fine, just not the product.
Easy Drinking
Finally, a purifier bottle that you dont have to squeeze like the Hulk to use. So simple to use you have no excuse to not stay hydrated. You can also change the order of the filter element so the charcoal is after the iodine section, eliminating that wonderful iodine flavor.
Other than size and price, how does this...
Other than size and price, how does this differ from the Extream XR Purifier bottle.. How much are filters? I am looking for a filter for our BOBs. Any recommendations on any other types? Thanks!
Is this appropriate for international...
Is this appropriate for international travel where there is unsafe water?
I've used this bottle in Mexico, Germany, England and recently in Spain and morroco without fail. Its now my primary water bottle on all my hikes. My philosophy abroad is "if it aint bottled or made in the U.S.A., filter it!!!".
As long as the "Viustat" properties remain intact, this purifier is good for international usage. Still consider your water source. For example, I wouldn't use this or any other water purifier for purifying water taken from the Tigris River!

The thumping of a beating heart seemed to amplify, echoing off the bedroom walls.
Paul Edwards lay in his bed. The noise was so foreign that he couldn't fall asleep.
For more than five years, Edwards lived without a heartbeat. A massive heart attack left him with a mechanical pump that circulated blood through his body. Instead of a beat, it was a constant whirring.
But after receiving a new heart through a transplant, the Trafalgar resident is back in the rhythm. He has recovered from the surgery and is rediscovering what it's like to go for a walk, eat a full meal and have energy to spare.
"You don't realize what your body does or how important things are until you don't have it. You get it back, and it feels so different," Edwards said.
Until early February, Edwards thought that his old life was gone forever.
At age 38, he had suffered what his cardiologist later termed a "widow maker." The coronary artery leading to his heart was 100 percent blocked.
For the 25-minute drive from Trafalgar to Community Hospital South in Indianapolis, he technically died.
Doctors revived him, opened up the artery and implanted a heart pump.
Over the course of five years with the pump, he suffered fluid build-up in his chest, was accidentally shocked by a wire that came loose from the pump and almost died during a small procedure when a surgeon nicked an artery.
The pump kept him alive but prevented him from camping and hiking, the activities he used to love doing with his wife, Kim; his stepdaughter, Brianna Orberson; and daughter, Emili Edwards.
"He was always in bed. He was always sleeping; he didn't feel good and didn't go anywhere," Kim Edwards said.
He also had three tumors surgically removed from his small intestine. Though he needed a heart transplant, it was required that he wait five years before being eligible for a transplant. Surgeons wanted to make sure the cancer didn't return.
But in mid-January, Edwards' situation grew more grave. The pump in his chest was forming blood clots.
His doctor, Dr. I-Wen Wang, told him that he needed an emergency heart transplant right away. He wasn't allowed to leave Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital until he received one.
"Wang said there was no way I'd go that long, so it had to be now if ever," Edwards said.
With Edwards' dire condition, a matching heart was located in two weeks. The heart came from a 20-year-old man, though Edwards doesn't know much more about the donor.
He had to wait another 24 hours after learning about his transplant, while surgeons removed other organs to be given to other transplant recipients.
Despite the wait, he was unusually calm. The night before the transplant surgery, he slept as well as he had for months.
"That was interesting, knowing you're going to get your heart cut out and have someone else's put in you," he said. "But I wasn't nervous, like I thought I'd be. I'd heard that eventually I was going to die from this heart. But it didn't bother me. If I died, I'd go to heaven; if I got the heart, I'd keep living."
Churches across the country, led by his Connection Pointe Church in Trafalgar, prayed continuously for him. Edwards credits that with helping him through his ordeal.
"It's been blessings. We do a 21-day fasting after the New Year. The Sunday he found out he was getting a heart, it was the end of our fast. We had been praying for him, and here he is getting a new heart," Kim Edwards said.
When he woke up early on the morning of Feb. 3, he walked to the operating room. Nurses slapped him high-fives and wished him the best.
The surgery lasted about 10 hours and was what Wang called the best transplant surgery he had ever done. Normally, the heart requires one or two slight electrical shocks to start pumping again.
But as soon as Wang rerouted blood through Edwards' body, it came to life as if it was the one he had been born with.
Edwards' recovery was similarly positive. Though the typical time in intensive care is more than a week, he was out in four days. After 10 days, he was out of the hospital.
Less than a month after the surgery, he was walking up to a mile outside his house.
"I can't slow down. I have so much energy that I haven't had in six years," he said.
Since the transplant, Edwards has had his heart examined twice. Both times, test results showed no signs of rejection.
Edwards takes three anti-rejection medications, which he'll have to take for the rest of his life so that his body doesn't attack his heart.
Steroids also have made his hands shake uncontrollably, though that should fade with time.
But his healthy heart has also has brought back a voracious appetite.
"My wife has been to the grocery store all the time since I came home. I've been cleaning everything out," he said. "It's driving her crazy."
As the weather has improved, Edwards has had more opportunity to get outside and burn off some of that pent-up vitality. He has started riding his bicycle again and wants to go running.
Without the electrical, motorized heart pump, he can finally get into the pool.
"I've got a lot of catching up to do with my family. I want to do a lot of camping this summer, fishing, all of that," he said.

'Happy Little Clouds': PBS' Bob Ross Re-Mixed on YouTube (Video)Joslyn Gray
In a follow-up to PBS' surprisingly poignant, only slightly freaky YouTube re-mix of Mr. Rogers, the audio geniuses at Science of Sound have tackled the soothing sound of Bob Ross. Remember The Joy of Painting? And the happy little clouds?
Before there were Baby Einstein videos to hypnotize your kid with, there was The Joy of Painting. Bob Ross' mellow voice is basically the auditory equivalent of a lava lamp. I have friends who calm their agitated toddlers with YouTube videos of Bob Ross.
Ross died in 1995 of lymphoma, at the age of 52. His show ran on PBS from 1982-1994.
And here he is again, reassuring us that there are no mistakes, only happy little accidents. And that every day is a good day to paint.

Hmmmm.........not really appropriate for a doormat, if I had one, I would hang it on the wall.
Inappropriate is not a strong enough term. It's just not right. It shows a total lack of respect for both the flag and the Nation and People it represents.How many American members would have a stroke if they saw an American flag doormat?
I agree with you Chuck D!I too support freedom of speech through expression while recognizing respect for others is important too. Not that I'm all PC or anything, it's just part of civility.
Might get a few and put them under my bikes to keep the oil off the floor. ERC
The ghost of clamp is back..
I dislike this kinda thing.It is the symbol of a great nation,as all flags are to someone.Of course,that is why these things are done,to provide an insulting object to some dunderhead to display for the purpose of annoying others.To make money off of it.And,yes,stating the obvious is what I do.
To play devil's advocate: it isn't a flag, it's a doormat - that just happens to look like a flag. Is there a difference?
I love it when cats chase stuff.They have a lot going for them,that way.Getting ahold of one that is well and truly set off can be a real mess.

In 2000, my predecessor, President Larry Faulkner, identified the need for a small group of leaders to advise him on UT's complex budget. The resulting University Budget Council has been a very valuable tool for helping direct our funds toward our institutional priorities. Today I'm announcing that, for the first time, we have established dedicated positions on the council for a faculty member and a student.
Professor Andrea Gore of the College of Pharmacy will serve as the first faculty member, and Natalie Butler, a Plan II senior, has agreed to serve as our first student member. (Natalie happens to be Student Government president this year, but this is not an ex officio position for the SG president.)
In addition to these two new seats, the council includes the president, executive vice president and provost, vice provost, chief financial officer, vice president for university operations, budget director, and deputy to the president for a total of nine.
I believe having a faculty member and a student as permanent positions within the council will add two important dimensions to this deliberative body, will help us better incorporate the perspective of those crucial constituencies, and demonstrates our commitment to transparency.
I look forward to getting Andrea's and Natalie's counsel on our university's priorities.

The Vampire Diaries
The Originals Star Daniel Gillies's Hottest Heart-Stopping Red Carpet Looks (PHOTOS)
Sure, we could argue The Originals will be the best new show of the fall because Klaus is an emotionally complex protagonist, Marcel is a disarmingly charismatic foe, and New Orleans is a city rooted in supernatural history — but let's be real for a minute: More screentime for Daniel Gillies (Elijah) means it automatically gets a season pass straight to the top of our DVRs.
It's impossible to describe the perfection that is Daniel's flawless face — those dark eyes, chiseled jaw, and devious smirk are swoon-worthy enough — without collapsing into a pile of unintelligible feels, so Wetpaint Entertainment decided to use photos to get our point across.
We know Elijah is a pro at stopping hearts (alive and undead alike), but who knew Daniel could make our hearts stop with just one twitch of the upper lip? TVD fans, feast your eyes on the nine times Daniel made our hearts stop on the red carpet. Umm, is it getting hot in here?
Are you serious right now?
I mean, COME ON. THAT SMIRK!
When there's something strange in your neighborhood, who do you call? Daniel Gillies, obviously. He's like the Olivia Pope of the TVD universe. It's handled.
No, but seriously, THAT FACE!
We used to think only Ryan Atwood could rock a deep v-neck tee/hoodie/man jewelry combo — until we met Daniel Gillies.
Suit & Die, amirite?!
Who else could make such an impeccable duck face? NO ONE. THAT'S WHO.
Oh, and then there was that one time he posed with Shane West, and OUR HEARTS LITERALLY STOPPED BEATING.
Oh, and did we forget to mention he has GUNS OF STEEL?

What do you think, TVD fans? Does Daniel Gillies make your heart stop beating — or do you prefer another Mystic Falls vamp? Sound off in the comments!

In this May 7, 2013 photo, tombs lay in the ruins of Epecuen, a village that was submerged in water in Argentina. When a particularly heavy rainstorm followed a series of wet winters, the lake overflowed its banks on Nov. 10, 1985. Water burst through a retaining wall and submerged the lakeside streets. People fled with what they could, but a few days later, their homes were drowned under nearly 10 meters (33 feet) of corrosive saltwater. (AP Photo/Natacha Pisarenko)

Polyurethanes are produced by reacting diisocyanates with polyols. Other chemicals, such as catalysts, surfactants or flame retardants, may be included in the process. Atmospheric emissions of the diisocyanates MDI and TDI during isocyanate production and most other applications carried out in closed equipment with controls on all vents are usually low.
Large quantities of MDI and TDI are routinely transported in a variety of dedicated containers ranging from ships' tanks to plastic drums. In the unlikely event of a spill to the aquatic or soil environments, the MDI or TDI reacts to form inert polyureas. Also, MDI and TDI react with water to form predominantly insoluble inert solid polyureas and release carbon dioxide. Of course, a spill should be addressed appropriately in compliance with U.S. environmental laws and in accordance with the manufacturer's MSDS.
MDI and TDI present on soil as the result of a spill reacts with moisture in the environment and slowly form solid, essentially unreactive polyureas.
Facilities that manufacture, process or otherwise use MDI or TDI and exceed the threshold limits on atmospheric emissions set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), are required by EPA to submit a Form A or Form R by July 1st of each reporting year to the EPA and the designated state agency. To provide general guidance during the reporting process, CPI offers a Regulatory Compliance Assistance Program (RCAP). RCAP also offers individual assistance to RCAP users. Each facility must independently determine its reporting obligations. For assistance or questions regarding MDI, PMDI, TDI or TRI reporting, contact CPI RCAP Software User Support.
MDI Emissions Estimator*
The free MDI Emissions Estimator provides a fast and convenient method to estimate MDI or PMDI emissions from typical process applications and activities. The tool is available in a lockable spreadsheet allowing users to easily import data and print helpful reports.
TDI Emissions Estimator*
The free TDI Emissions Estimator provides a fast and convenient method to estimate TDI fugitive air emissions from typical process applications and activities. The tool is available in a lockable spreadsheet allowing users to easily import data and print helpful reports.

I recently had the pleasure to present an hour webinar looking at why mobile website development is important and what you risk when you don't have a mobile capable website.
If you are anything like me, all you hear about mobile and websites is responsive design. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against responsive, but as a consultant, I am regularly responding to the "value" of responsive based on the time, effort and expense. Just like most things in SEO, responsive only isn't necessarily the only answer to the mobile equation. It is a really great answer, it's just not the only one!
1. Why Is Mobile so Important
2. Market Changes
- Consumer Behavior
- Competitive Landscape
- Factors Influencing Mobile Results
3. Controllable Factors/Uncontrollable Factors
4. Ways to Approach Mobile SEO
- Do Nothing
- Separate Mobile Experience
- Dynamic Serving
- Responsive

Dear Editor:
The Hudson Valley lost one of its staunchest arts advocates with the untimely death of Ron Marquette.
As a former arts writer for the Poughkeepsie Journal, I followed Ron's work at Ellenville's Shadowland Theatre and Kingston's Ulster Performing Arts Center, where he constantly worked to give each venue visibility, be it a performance of Lanford Wilson's seminal "The Fifth of July" at the Ellenville house or a performance of blues artist B.B. King at UPAC that had the rafters swaying, the capacity crowd in an uproar and Kingston's late Mayor T.R. Gallo saving the day by locating King's guitar "Lucille" on an errant bus headed out of town. That unforgettable night gave international notice to Kingston and to UPAC -- publicity you can't hope to buy.
Ron was not only noted as an arts administrator, but as a director and as a writer. His play, "Larry Parks' Day in Court," about the McCarthy-era hearings, put in clear view the tragedy wrought by the senator's witch hunt for Communists.
Ron had wit and charm, a sense of humor and a loyalty to what he believed in -- arts, community, family and friends. He brought local government and the arts together in beneficial alliance. He was a man you wanted on your side.
I am grateful for his work in the arts and even more grateful that he was my friend.

The Fordham Observer notes that two new departments at Fordham University are supporting the student performance of "The Vagina Monologues" this year. Whereas Fordham College at Lincoln Center's (FCLC) feminist club, ISIS, has traditionally organized the production of the play with support from the English and women's studies department, this year the theology and history departments have added their support. The play is being performed in April.
Because the play is not funded by the University's Office of Student Leadership and Community Development, Student Affairs, or the Student Activities Budget Committee, ISIS seeks support for the play among academic departments.
"It was a natural fit for me since I teach the history of sexuality and I was the first advisor to the gay students organization at FCLC," said Doron Ben-Atar, associate chair of history, to the Observer. "When the administration refused funding for 'The Vagina Monologues,' we moved in the history department to sponsor the event, together with English." Ben-Atar described the history department's support for the play as unanimous.
Anne Hoffman, associate chair of English, says that she has included the play on the syllabus for her spring "Feminist Theories" course ever since the university administration withdrew funding support for it. The theology department did not comment on its support for the production.

What about Osi?
What about Osi?
posted at 12/28/2009 1:24 AM ESTI think the Giants will part ways with Osi. Its not looking good for him. Do you think New England will sign him?
Re: What about Osi?
posted at 12/28/2009 1:48 AM ESTHe doesn't fit the 3-4 scheme in New England, but if he signed for short money as a 3rd down sub-package pass rusher it could work. However, there's no way he would accept that type of role/money at this point in his career, in my opinion.
Re: What about Osi?
posted at 12/28/2009 1:58 AM ESTi dont want him... dont want peppers either. id much rather adress pass rush in the first round of the draft rather than overpay an overhyped veteran (see adalius thomas)
Re: What about Osi?
posted at 12/28/2009 8:16 AM EST
I brought that question up a couple of weeks ago...But I think im with Fowler on this....no more overpriced free-agents. I rather see BB bring in a rookie and watch him develop behind the "new" vets NE has on the team.
Re: What about Osi?
posted at 12/28/2009 9:26 AM ESTyou are telling m if jason taylor or Julius peppers wanted to sign a 1-2 year contract with the pats for less than 7 million per year you wouldn't take it? I think in order to be a great team one has to bring in FA and through the draft. The FA allows a team to maintain depth and a veteran core by replacing players lost and improving positions where they do not draft well (such as WR for the Pats) I think we should go for peppers/taylor and bring in one rookie OLB pass rusher that way we have TBC peppers/taylor/rookie/crable/guyton? as the rushers with mayo/mckenzie/rookie/guyton in the middle.
I think that we can pick up peppers for 7 million per year and taylor for 3 million thus only being a 10 million dollar cap hit. this money will be created by green, seymore, and restructuring/extending moss and brady.
osi would be a great athelete for this team but you guys are right he doesn't fit our 3-4 defense. only if he was cheap < 3 million and signed for 2-3 years would i bring him in so he would have sufficient time to learn the system.
Re: What about Osi?
posted at 12/28/2009 9:30 AM ESTOsi would never accept playing in sub packages only. he thinks he's Reggie White calibre.
Re: What about Osi?
posted at 12/28/2009 10:45 AM EST@natesubs
I wouldnt mind picking up Taylor or Peppers, but I would like to see NE pay JP 16mil. JT I think if he wants to play another season and Miami dont resign him he will end up in NE. I believe he will sign for a reasonable price.
Im just saying everyone does not fit in BB's system so easy. IF they signt another FA for alot of money and he doesnt fit in then he becomes a bust, ie. AT.

I have thoughts
Yeah, maybe.
I went to Cleveland to check out the college and family and took my bike. I only had the hybrid and it was set up with drops and barcons.
On the way up, we stopped in NC where I went looking for a ride and used the fire road to get to old 40 and back. That was great fun for a flat lander like myself, and the bike handled beautifully.
Once in the cleve I went riding outta van aken looking for the indoor soccer facility and got turned around somewhere. When its started to rain I was hold up at under the front of a bank where I hung out and had a lefty. When I was comfortable again, I headed back out and ended going through shaker, little italy and into downtown.
After I got to tower city, where the RTA hub is, I found out that I couldn't take my bike on the train. So, off I ventured in the general direction of where I'd come from. This was back in '95 and I didn't have a cell and the family was actually waiting patiently for my return so as to go out for dinner.
When I returned and related my story over dinner, the relative we were visiting seemed surprised and impressed that anyone would do that sort of thing for fun. For me it wasn't epic or anything, but its great way to get the feel for a new place.

All your updates from Barrels & Bottles & Wine Schoppen
Updates, news and features from the Derbyshire Wine Ltd Group of companies
Wales should promote its wine, cider and beer industries to mirror the success of countries like New Zealand, according to a committee of National Assembly members.
A plan is needed to realise the economic potential of the homegrown drinks industry, the cross party rural development sub committee said in a report.
Committee Chair Rhodri Glyn Thomas said: "The key message that this inquiry has highlighted is that what is potentially an extremely lucrative industry for Wales is hugely under-developed and in need of direction."
He said people only needed to look at the examples of wine in New Zealand, whisky in Scotland and Guinness and Baileys in Ireland to see the economic impact a well-marketed drinks industry with a strong national identity could have.

Emmy Awards
Emmys 2013: Dancing With the Stars' Derek Hough Wins For Outstanding Choreography!
It's the moment you've all been waiting for, Dancing With the Stars lovers.
Our boy Derek Hough took home the award for Outstanding Choreography at the 2013 Emmy Awards in L.A. on September 22 and we couldn't be happier for him. Per usual, the DWTS pro looked super hot on stage and even topped off his acceptance speech with an enthusiastic "Holy crap!" He took the words right out of our mouths!
Derek was nominated for two Emmys this year, with four of his DWTS dances acknowledged. Needless to say, it's an exciting night for this talented dancer and his family. Speaking of which, Derek's sister Julianne joined him at the show, cheering him on with a standing ovation. We're feeling the happy tears coming on!
With an Emmy under his belt, we're sure Derek will pull out all of the stops on Dancing With the Stars Season 17, with his partner, Glee's Amber Riley. Bring on the Cha-Chas!
What do you think of Derek taking home an Emmy? Are you shaking in your dancing shoes? Sound off below!

About Our Donation Button 08/10/2015While visitors are welcome to browse our forums and registered members are free to use all the features of our site, you will notice a Donate button at the top of every page, which gives everyone who comes here an opportunity to contribute toward its ongoing support. Members and visitors can donate as much (or as little) as they can afford, and as often (or as seldom) as they choose, either all at once or over an extended period of time (that is, a recurring amount automatically deducted from a credit card each month). Donations are accepted via PayPal, credit card or bank account (where available). The Donate button is located at the top of every page. We are proud of the fact that, since it was launched in May of 2003, our Grief Healing Discussion Groups site has been advertisement-free and open to everyone, members and visitors alike, at no cost, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, offering the information, comfort and support we believe you need and deserve as you each find your way through your individual grief journeys. Unlike other self-help forums for the bereaved, our site is privately administered, closely monitored and professionally moderated to ensure the highest level of quality, safety and security for our participants. Every post is reviewed and read by our moderator: a nationally certified grief counselor who visits the site several times a day, and who feels a deep personal and professional responsibility to monitor our site in a way that encourages understanding, growth and healing. Our site has been described by the caregivers and bereaved who come here as a lifeline ~ a safe place to land when you need to be with others who "get it" and who understand. We know from your unsolicited comments and continued active participation that this is an important and valued service. Still, it costs money to sustain this service, and many hours a month to administer and moderate the site. We are deeply grateful to our regular donors and to all those who have contributed, but we think you should know that it is the same half-dozen people who continue to give. Some members have donated far more than their fair share, and they've done so more than once. Grateful as we are for their loyalty and support, we hope you will agree that it's not fair that so few of our members have been carrying the weight for so many, who clearly have derived some benefit from our service. For this reason, we are asking for your consideration. If you donated some time ago, would you consider doing so again? And if you've never done so, would you consider making a contribution of $20 or more? You can rest assured that your gift will be used directly to fund this service and to keep it going. With heartfelt gratitude, Marty Tousley ♥

Founding Mecklenburg County father gets new grave marker
For a community that has been settled since the 1700s, there are many family names that still survive to this day. One founding father of the community, Sugar Dulin, was honored June 4 with a new headstone at the Philadelphia Presbyterian Church cemetery located next to the church.
Dulin's original grave marker has long been missing. Based on historical documents, the family and church officials guessed where he might have been buried. Local residents Charlie Burdick and Harry Hood placed the new tombstone for the family. Both have been involved with restoring the three church cemeteries located at the church, along Matthews-Mint Hill Road near Queen's Grant Charter School, and a location on Brief Road.
The memorial ceremony coincided with a family reunion for the Dulins. Sugar Dulin moved to the Mint Hill area in the late 1700s after serving in the Revolutionary War. Sue McDonald, administrator at the Mint Hill Historical Society, said his home was probably located near the McDonald's Restaurant at the corner of Lawyers Road and Lebanon Road. At one time, that section of Mecklenburg County was known as "Dulin's Crossroads." (PHOTOS BY CHARLIE BURDICK) […]

Hyaluronic acid (HA) particípales in the immune response because it is a constituent of natural mechanical barriers, an inflammation stimulator and a ligand for receptors involved in immunity. Previous experiences have shown that adult specimens and larval concéntrales oí A. lumbricoides have hyaluronan binding capacity. The aim ofthis work was to study the kinetics ofhyaluronic acid capture by this parasite. Work was carried out with an extract of adult specimen and a larval concéntrate. The modlfled test of serum soluble CD44 Detectlon by Aggregatlon Inhlbltlon was used. Kinetics hyaluronlc acid capture by the nematode was assessed by varylng the contad time between HA and parasite, from an initial time to 90 minutes, with 10-minute intervals. CexpAdhEHA ana lexpCPHA were calculated for all the times and they were analysed by Wilcoxon and Friedman Tests The results showed that at initial time of contad, the adult paraslte and the larvae had captured a small amount of HA. The major capture was made at 10 minutes and it was maintained for 50 minutes without significad differences. From that time there was a slight increase in capture and it remaíned so untíi the end of the experiment without considerable variations. This experience demonstrates that at 10 minutes of in vitro contad, A. lumbricoides captures most of the HA, whích suggests that in vivo, the parasite would be able to capture HA quickly for the purpose of modulating the immune response.
Palabras clave : Ascaris lumbricoides; Hyaluronic acid; Kinetics; Capture.
