Greenhouse/ Outdoors type.
Perfect lunchbox snacks - these exciting little 'cucino' cucumbers can be eaten straight from the plant without peeling. Cucumber 'Cucino' produces crisp, flavoursome mini-fruits prolifically throughout the season. This RHS AGM variety can be grown against supports in the greenhouse or in a sheltered position outdoors. Height: 3m (9'). Spread: 45cm (18").
Useful links:
T&M's easy starter plants are delivered ready for planting at the correct time so that you can enjoy bigger, earlier and tastier vegetables. Greenhouse cucumbers must be grown in a warm, humid greenhouse with a minimum temperature of 15C (60F). Outdoor (Ridge) types are suitable for growing outside. Some varieties may be suited to indoor and outdoor cultivation.
Pot up young plants and grow them on until they are large enough to be transplanted. Maintain a minimum temperature of 15c (60F) and keep the compost moist but not wet.
When cucumber plants are well grown, transplant them at a spacing of 2 plants per growbag or 45cm (18") apart in a warm, humid greenhouse. Outdoor varieties should be gradually acclimatised to outdoor conditions over 7-10 days before transplanting into warm, well drained, humus rich soil in full sun, with shelter from winds. Plant outdoor cucumbers in single rows at a distance of 90cm (36") apart. Water well after planting until cucumber plants are fully established.
Water cucumber plants regularly. Apply greenhouse shading as required and create a humid atmosphere by regularly spraying or damping down pathways.
Climbing greenhouse types will produce higher yields if allowed to climb. Train the main shoots onto 1.8m (6ft) high nets, canes or strings until they reach the top of their support and then pinch out the growing point. Pinch out sideshoots once fruit begins to develop, leaving two leaves after each fruit. Remove male flowers from greenhouse types.
Outdoor ridge types can be pinched out at the main stem after 7 leaves have formed to encourage sideshoots. Outdoor ridge types require pollination by insects - do not remove male flowers from these varieties.
When growing cucumbers, harvest regularly to encourage, long continuous production. Pick the fruits whilst young and tender before they show signs of producing seeds, as older fruits can become bitter. Harvesting cucumbers is best done early in the morning when temperatures remain cool.
Seeds and garden supplies will normally be delivered within the time period stated against each product as detailed above. Plants, bulbs, corms, tubers, shrubs, trees, potatoes etc are delivered at the appropriate time for planting and will be stated on the product page or in your order acknowledgement page and email.
Orders for packets of seed incur a P&P charge of £1.95.
Orders which include any other products will incur a P&P charge of £4.95.

2 of the 3 plug plants grew to maturity, and that was more than enough! Disease resistant to powdery mildew, very vigorous growth and so easy to train. These little beauties are exactly like their description on your website. Fed twice weekly they are still cropping now, in early October. Much more fun than growing tomatoes and just as tasty to snack on. Will definitely grow these again and again!
Thank you very much for your review. I am glad that you have been happy with your purchase. I hope we can continue to be of service to you in the future.

Tied for the lead in the MW for the second straight week, the Fresno State softball team (24-16, 8-4) looks ahead to its busiest week of conference play with a pair of three-game sets this week.
The `Dogs first play at first-year MW member San Jose State (24-18, 7-5) with a doubleheader on Tuesday, April 22 at noon and single-game noon finale on Wednesday April 23. All three games will be broadcast on the radio live in Fresno on 790 AM ESPN The Deuce.
On Friday-Sunday, April 25-27, Fresno State and UNLV (19-24, 9-6) will play single games each day at Bulldog Diamond.
With its 8-4 conference record, Fresno State currently sits in a three-way tie for first place with Colorado State and San Diego State, and is followed closely by UNLV (fourth, 9-6) and San Jose State (fifth, 7-5).
Last weekend, the `Dogs split a doubleheader vs. St. Mary's (4-1 win, 4-3 loss (9 innings)). The next day, the Fresno State lost a heartbreaker (1-0) when the Broncos collected four of their six hits in the seventh inning.
After this weekend, Fresno State caps its home slate the following weekend vs. Colorado State (Fri.-Sun., May 2-4), then wraps the regular season at Nevada (Thu.-Sat., May 8-10).

- Not surprisingly, Moss, Smith and Willis are also the team's top hitters in MW play (.457 / .429 / .423). Four others are topping .300 after 12 MW games this year - sophomore catcher Paige Gumz (.394), senior left fielder Kapri Angotti (.391), senior shortstop Brooke Ortiz (.356) and senior first baseman Stesha Brazil (.333).
- Against St. Mary's and Santa Clara, three `Dogs topped .300 last weekend - Smith (.677, 6-9), Gumz (.333, 3-9) and senior third baseman Vonnie Martin (.300, 3-10, HR, 2 RBI).
- With Kiley Shae Aldridge's and Hannah Harris' MW Pitcher of the Week honor the past five weeks, all four Bulldog sophomore pitchers have now won honors under the guidance of head coach Trisha Ford. In 2013, sophomore Jill Compton won a pair of awards, as did sophomore Taylor Langdon once.
- Fresno State has won three straight MW series with its sweep of Utah State and 2-1 advantages at New Mexico and vs. San Diego State the past month.
- The past month, the Bulldogs have scored the biggest and third-biggest run tallies in school history in wins vs. Boise State (24-4 (5) and New Mexico (20-0 (5)).
- Fresno State has scored five wins this season against NCAA Tournament returnees - 1-0 shutouts of No. 6 Washington, No. 14 Nebraska and N.C. State, and 5-4 and 2-0 victories vs. San Diego State.
Again this week, sophomore Taylor Langdon led the league in saves (4), and stood sixth in games in relief (12) and eighth in games finished (9).
Former All-MW honoree and sophomore right-hander Jill Compton added third-place rankings in starts (22), opponent batting (.231) and ERA (2.34), and stood fourth in wins (15), strikeouts looking (32) and strikeouts (109), and fifth in innings (139.2). Sophomore Hannah Harris also stood fourth in opposing batting (.253), fifth in ERA (2.62) and sixth in fewest hits (77).
At the plate, senior shortstop Brooke Ortiz topped the triples category (4), and five other `Dogs were spotted offensively - All-MW center fielder and junior Brenna Moss (stolen bases, second, 25; hits, second, 50; runs, fifth, 32; triples, seventh, 7), senior third baseman Vonnie Martin (walks, second, 33; on-base percentage, 10th, .453), junior right fielder Michelle Solomon (triples, fourth, 3; runs, 10th, 29), senior first baseman Stesha Brazil (RBI, sixth, 35; triples, seventh, 2 ; homers, eighth, 7), and freshman left fielder Kierra Willis (triples, seventh, 2).
Team-wise, the Bulldog pitchers still pace the conference in lowest opposing batting average (.251), fewest hits allowed (257) and double plays (20), and stood second in ERA (2.74), fewest homers allowed (20), and saves (4). Offensively, the `Dogs rank first in triples (13) and second in stolen bases (63).
In the seventh edition of the NCAA's weekly softball rankings released this week, sophomore pitcher Taylor Langdon ranked ninth nationally in the saves category (4).
Eight other `Dogs stood top 150 nationally - senior third baseman Vonnie Martin (walks, 14th, 0.83 p/g), sophomore pitcher Jill Compton (shutouts, 29th, 6; ERA, 129th, 2.34; strikeouts, 139th, 109), junior center fielder Brenna Moss (stolen bases, 19th, 0.63 p/g; runs, 142nd, 0.80 p/g), senior shortstop Brooke Ortiz (triples, 19th, 4), sophomore second baseman Whitney Smith (toughest to strikeout, 49th, 1:20.6 at-bats), junior right fielder Michelle Solomon (triples, 56th, 3), senior first baseman Stesha Brazil (RBI, 113th, 0.88 p/g) and sophomore right-hander Hannah Harris (shutouts, 113th, 4).
Team-wise, Fresno State's highest national rankings were in double plays (eighth, 0.50 p/g), triples (12th, 0.33 p/g), stolen bases (35th, 1.55 p/g), fielding (42nd, .970), ERA (67th, 2.74), win-loss percentage (79th, .600) and scoring (87th, 4.90 p/g).

Last year, SJSU edged FS, 5-2, in the Santa Clara Classic as two Bulldogs hit safely - Stesha Brazil (2-for-3) and Vonnie Martin (1-for-3, 2 RBI) - and the latter drove in both runs on a two-run double in the first inning. Jill Compton pitched the first three innings (1 SO, 2 BB, 5H, 3 ER), and Hannah Harris worked the final three innings (0 SO, 2 BB, 3H, 2 ER).
The Rebels held the upper hand in 2013 with their 4-1 and 8-2 wins, while the `Dogs won the finale, 6-4. In the opener, Vonnie Martin knocked in the team's lone run with an RBI double, and also had an RBI in the 8-2 second-game loss. In the same latter contest, infielder Maria Sio had a career-high three hits, and Whitney Smith and Kapri Angotti both had a pair of hits. In the finale, Michelle Solomon helped FS return from a four-run first-inning deficit with a grand slam, and Stesha Brazil also drilled a game-winning two-run homer in the seventh inning for the 6-4 victory. Hannah Harris got the win for her 5.1 scoreless innings of relief that included two hits allowed and two walks.
In the fourth NCAA RPI ratings of the season Fresno State still ranked second in the league and 56th nationally for its fifth straight week in the top 60. The remaining MW teams' rankings follow: San Diego State (42), Colorado State (76), Boise State (85), San José State (86), UNLV (97), Utah State (138), Nevada (150) and New Mexico (172).
This week's RPI rating is again well ahead of last year's year-end position (116), and a full current listing is available here ( http://www.ncaa.com/rankings/softball/d1/ncaa-womens-softball-rpi ).
With her four saves this season, sophomore Taylor Langdon has tied a team season record, and that same total ties for seventh-most in a career for the `Dogs.
At the plate, senior first baseman Stesha Brazil drilled her seventh homer of the season three weeks ago at New Mexico, and her 23 career-wise is seventh-best in school history (not to mention the four she hit as a freshman at Houston in 2011).
Junior center fielder Brenna Moss stole another base last weekend vs. St. Mary's to up her career total to 70 - second-best for Fresno State. That total ranks 26th nationally among active collegians (and seventh among players that are juniors or younger). Her 25 stolen bases this year is fourth-most in a season for Fresno State all-time, and nine behind her school record from last year (34).
The Bakersfield, Calif., native's triple against New Mexico moved her to 16 career-wise and fifth all-time for the `Dogs (and third nationally among active collegians). Moss's nine triples in 2013 is also second-best in Bulldog history behind former Olympian and All-American Laura Berg (11, 1995),
Among all-time game bests, her three stolen bases vs. Boise State and San Diego State this year tied her school record vs. UNM in 2013. Likewise, her four runs opening week vs. UC Riverside also matched a school game record.
With her triple vs. New Mexico, senior shortstop Brooke Ortiz has four, three-baggers on the season and 11 career-wise - a tally that stands 17th nationally among active collegians and one shy of Fresno State's ninth-best career mark.
In her first month as a collegian, sophomore pitcher Jill Compton made history in February 2013 with the program's 70th no-hitter vs. St. Mary's. Her seven-inning, five-strikeout performance also made her the first Bulldog freshman to achieve the feat since 2006.
Last year, the squad combined for a school record 87 stolen bases in 54 contests. For comparison's sake in 2014, the `Dogs have already swiped 63 bases after 40 games (which would equate to 81 in a 52-game season).
Second-year Fresno State head coach Trisha Ford welcomes back starters at seven of the eight field positions, and 2013's top three pitchers.
All four of last year's All-MW picks are also back - senior infielder Vonnie Martin, junior outfielder Brenna Moss and sophomore pitcher Jill Compton and catcher Paige Gumz - while senior infielder Brooke Ortiz was an All-WAC choice in 2011.
Other starters back from 2013 include senior outfielder Kapri Angotti, senior first baseman Stesha Brazil, junior outfielder Michelle Solomon and sophomore infielder Whitney Smith.
Last year in Ford's first season, the Bulldogs went 30-24 overall and tied for second in the MW Conference with an 11-7 mark.
Head Coach Trisha Ford and the Bulldogs have looked to their seven-member newcomer class to make an immediate impact in the spring of 2014.
Her first recruiting class is entirely from California and includes catcher Niki Kaleialii (Oakley), infielder Liza Liddell (La Verne), and outfielders Melissa Gilbert (Merced), M.J. Jimenez (Newark), Alanna Layton (Acton), Christina Rodriguez (Livingston) and Kierra Willis (Pleasant Hill).
Willis has started 31 games at DP and in left field this year, while Liddell has made six starts at second base among her 14 appearances. Rodriguez had appeared in 25 games as a pinch-runner and stole bases vs. Sacramento State, Long Beach State and Utah State; Jimenez pinch-ran ran vs. No. 8 Oregon and Riverside; and Kaleialii has seen time behind the plate vs. UC Riverside, No. 25 Texas, Boise State and New Mexico.
As preps, Kaleialii helped her team to three Bay Valley Athletic titles and was a two-time captain; Liddell was a four-time all-league selection at third base and shortstop; Jimenez was a three-time All-League pick; Gilbert helped lead Merced High School to three CCC titles; Layton was a CIF All-League First-Team choice; Rodriguez was a multiple all-conference choice; and Willis was a four-time first-team all-league selection.
After helping the `Dogs go 2-1 against returning NCAA Tournament qualifier San Diego State, sophomore Hannah Harris was tabbed the Mountain West Softball Pitcher of the Week last week.
The Santa Barbara, Calif., native logged her third shutout among her five MW starts in the 2-0 second-game win. In the seven-inning effort, she logged two strikeouts and one walk, and her three hits allowed was one shy of her season low.
In the finale, she also made her fifth relief appearance of 2014 and finished her third game of the season. She came in with one out and the bases loaded in the ninth inning, and helped the team notch its 18th double play of the year against the only batter that she faced.
On the weekend, she led the team in ERA (0.00), wins (1), lowest opponent batting (.125), appearances (2), fewest walks (1) and fewest hits allowed (3).
In previous weeks, senior Stesha Brazil and sophomore Kiley Shae Aldridge were rewarded with MW Player and Pitcher of the Week honors in March and April to give the team eight honors from six current players the past 1 1/2 years.
The Turlock, Calif., native Brazil led the `Dogs to a late-March home sweep of Utah State, and topped the team for the three games combined in hitting (.625), slugging (.875), on-base percentage (.727), hits (5), stolen bases (3) and total bases (7).
Three weeks prior, Aldridge won her first MW weekly career honor after she logged a 1-0 shutout versus No. 6 Washington. Her nine strikeouts came in her first start in nearly two years and tripled her previous Bulldog best from this season (3) and also 2012. She also limited the returning WCWS advancers to three hits.
Among other recent Bulldog honorees in the circle, sophomores Jill Compton and Taylor Langdon combined for three honors in 2013, while senior third baseman Vonnie Martin was a two-time MW Player of the Week last season. Other current `Dogs honored with WAC Player of the Week honors include senior shortstop Brooke Ortiz (2012).
Among the Bulldogs' 52 games this year against 31 opponents, its non-conference slates features five WCWS returnees in 2013 national runner-up Tennessee, Arizona State, Nebraska, Texas and Washington.
In the opening months of the year, Fresno State faced another Super Regional advancer (Oregon), a seventh NCAA Regional Finalist (N.C. State) and four other NCAA tourney qualifiers (Arizona, Houston, San Diego State and San Jose State).
Among the tilts in February and March, the `Dogs posted 1-0 shutouts vs. No. 6 Washington and No. 14 Nebraska on the same day in the finale of the Judi Garmin Classic, while it lost by one run the opening three weeks to No. 2 Tennessee (5-4) and No. 8 Oregon (10-9 (8)).
Among conference foes, the `Dogs went 2-1 against last year's NCAA Tournament representative from the MW - San Diego State - in their series in Fresno in mid-April.
Overall, the `Dogs will play 15 contests against 11 squads that advanced to last year's 64-team NCAA tournament field (not to mention four teams that have combined for 12 national titles in their school histories).
Not only do 23 of the 24 members of the Bulldog roster hail from California, but many proudly call the Central Valley their home.
Two players are from the Fresno area directly - seniors Kapri Angotti (Clovis) and Kim Fisher (Fresno) - and also played their initial collegiate seasons at Fresno City College. Two others' hometowns are less than an hour's drive away - freshman Melissa Gilbert (Merced) and sophomore Bria Kennedy (Hanford) - and two other starters are from the Central Valley, senior Stesha Brazil (Turlock) and junior Brenna Moss (Bakersfield).
Looking northward, seven players matriculated from the Bay Area - freshmen Christina Rodriguez (Livingston), Niki Kaleialii (Oakley), M.J. Jimenez (Newark) and Kierra Willis (Pleasant Hill), sophomores Kiley Shae Aldridge (Lompoc) and Whitney Smith (Auburn) and senior Brooke Ortiz (Lodi).
Ten players hail from the nation's most fertile softball fields (Southern California) - freshmen Alanna Layton (Acton) and Liza Liddell (La Verne),sophomores Jill Compton (Oceano); Hannah Harris (Santa Barbara), Taylor Langdon (Glendora) and Paige Gumz (Chino Hills) and juniors Michelle Solomon (Beaumont), Maria Sio (Lake Forest), Kelly Megee (Riverside) and Taylor Green (Chino Hills).
The team's only non-California resident is senior Vonnie Martin (Plano, Texas) who is only a 22-hour 1,556-mile drive from Fresno.
After a successful season on the field and in the classroom, six Fresno State softball players were named to the 2013 National Fastpitch Coaches Association Scholar-Athlete team that was released last October.
The group of senior infielder Brooke Ortiz, junior infielder Kelly Megee and catcher/infielder Taylor Green, sophomore pitcher/utility player Hannah Harris and Taylor Langdon and former senior outfielder Diane Runge were selected based on their +3.50 grade point averages for the 2012-13 academic year.
The six-member class tied the largest in Bulldog softball history, and are among 39 Fresno State players that have received similar honors since the 1997-98 school year. Runge and Ortiz are three- and two-time honorees and the 10th and 11th Bulldogs to claim multiple honors. In addition, Runge and Ortiz were CoSIDA Academic All-District First-Team choices in 2013 and `12, respectively.
Last spring, nine `Dogs picked up Academic All-Mountain West honors - Harris, Langdon, Megee, Ortiz, Runge, senior catcher/infielder Stesha Brazil and infielder/outfielder Vonnie Martin, junior center fielder Brenna Moss and sophomore infielder Whitney Smith.
Overall in school history, the softball team has racked up 108 academic all-conference honors since it began WAC play in 1993 and MW action in 2013.
Bulldog fans can watch the Bulldogs online at all home games and also all MW away games through video streams at wwww.GoBulldogs.com/Videos.
Twenty of the team's games will also be radio broadcast locally by ESPN 790AM The Deuce this spring. Thirteen will come the first six weeks of the season in non-conference play, followed by seven MW games against Utah State, San Jose State, UNLV and Colorado State.
Christian Lukens and Andrew Haynes will share the radio broadcast duties, while Stephen Trembley and Keenan Sanders will handle the video stream play-by-play.
On March 25, the California State University Board of Trustees Committee on Institutional Advancement voted unanimously to approve the renaming the softball stadium to Margie Wright Diamond.
Wright, who led Fresno State to its first-ever team national championship in 1998, was a driving force behind the construction of the 3,288-seat Bulldog Diamond in 1996. The NCAA's all-time winningest Division I softball coach retired in 2012 after amassing 1,294 wins in 27 seasons with the Bulldogs, including 10 Women's College World Series appearances and 17 conference titles. Her resume also includes a stint as U.S. Olympic coach and National Coach of the Year honors.
Under her direction, Fresno State was ranked in the national top 25 polls for 27 consecutive years while the Red Wave fan base led the nation in average attendance 13 times.

Twenty-six years ago the first visual research center at USC within the College of Letters, Arts & Sciences was founded by Academy award winner Barbara Myerhoff ("Number Our Days"). The program thrived and was further developed by famous filmmaker and Professor of Anthropology Timothy Asch.
Under the direction of Asch and in collaboration with the Cinema-Television and Journalism School and the Center for Visual Anthropology, the master's-level visual anthropology program was unique in its emphasis on both visual media and written texts as components of an academically grounded thesis.
The pioneering master's program flourished under its gifted leadership, producing stellar graduates who now teach visual anthropology at Harvard and Princeton and other prestigious institutions in addition to those who have excelled in industry.
Fast forward to the first day of classes in Fall 2008 when USC College senior Jamie Schreiber walked with purpose into the office of Nancy Lutkehaus, professor of anthropology, gender studies and political science and the former chair of the anthropology department. "I explained that there existed a desire among undergraduate students for the creation of a master's program in visual anthropology in USC College," Schreiber recounted.
"Both the College and Holly Willis, director of the School of Cinematic Arts Institute for Multimedia Literacy, have been great in offering support to the new program. Our students reap the benefits of the collaboration between the two schools that has allowed our MVA students to use the state-of-the-art facilities at IML and the expertise of faculty from both anthropology and cinema," Lutkehaus said.
Lutkehaus, the program architect, along with colleague and graduate advisor Janet Hoskins took the recommendation seriously and began to thoughtfully craft a curriculum rich in theory and experiential learning. Jennifer Cool, a graduate of the original visual anthropology masters program, is also a part of the core teaching faculty along Janet Hoskins, Lanita Jacobs-Huey, Tok Thompson and Emily Zeamer.
"The time was ideal for bringing back this amazing program," Hoskins said. "With the onset of high quality digital media, we no longer have the costs associated with enormously expensive 16mm film that had required students to fundraise for their projects."
To be considered for the master's programs, prospective students must submit a project proposal. Schreiber's project will take her to South America on a five-day Inca Trail trek through the Andes to Machu Picchu, Peru. "My focus in this field experience covers a wide range of topics from ecological tourism to dominant and resistant patterns that might emerge in these communities; spiritual journeys and pilgrimages; as well as theorist's Victor Turner's 'communitas,' which refers to whether the individuals traveling together will form a community."
Schreiber will be both an observer and a participant in her Peruvian pilgrimage. "An interesting twist to my project is that I will also let others in the group film," she said. "This will provide, both literally and figuratively, their perspectives on the experience."
Schreiber has invited an eclectic group of people to accompany her on this trek where they will travel through amazing valleys and gorgeous mountains and stay at indigenous village campgrounds. The group will include cosmopolitan people from Lima, indigenous people from Cusco and others from the United States. "I am the only thing they have in common," Schreiber added.
Eric O'Connell from New York is also enrolled in the master's program. O'Connell, a professional photographer for magazines and newspapers along with commercial work, was interested in visual anthropology before he began his twenty-year career. His project takes him to eastern Germany where he will engage in visual ethnography of German men and women who have adopted the "lifestyle" of the American cowboy.
O'Connell's project idea came to him after reading Fast Food Nation (Eric Schlosser, 2005). "There was a quick reference to how fast food comes from the West and a reference to Paluen, Germany, the site of the first McDonald's in Eastern Europe," he said.
"In his brief statement, Schlosser described a group of people in Paluen who had seemingly adopted an American cowboy-like lifestyle."
O'Connell grew curious and returned to Germany where he had been several times before but had never seen this phenomenon. Since then, he has interviewed or talked to nearly 1,000 of these so called American Cowboys. "They dress like cowboys or cowgirls, enjoy line dancing and even import Budweiser and Corona beer in their bar," O'Connell said.
The owner of the group's popular bar told O'Connell that after seeing John Wayne movies as a six- or seven-year-old boy he decided he was going to be a cowboy.
"I was further amazed when I attended an American car show contest in Paluen, their epicenter, and learned that they had been collecting Ford Broncos and Chevy pick-ups over the years."
O'Connell is equally enthusiastic about the program. "The curriculum is well thought out and one class builds upon another. I appreciate that we are encouraged to experiment with hyper media and video."
Program faculty and students alike praise the USC School of Cinematic Arts' Institute for Multimedia Literacy and its lab manager Gabriel Peters-Lazaro, who is a wonderful resource for all the technical aspects of their documentary film making. Additionally, they reap the benefits of weekly screenings that have included a visit from an Oscar winner who talked in detail about her own documentary process.
Schreiber, a fourth generation Trojan, is proud to be a part of the visual anthropology legacy at USC College. "Knowing that we are part of this legacy and that the early practitioners in visual anthropology were here at SC is incredible.
"When I approach the world, I will do so having this masters and I can say that I came out of this wonderful legacy program," Schreiber said. "I am so lucky; I am so happy in this program that I could not ask for anything better."

Felt fine on Sunday after my 50 miles on Saturday.
Had gig... stood and played in my cowboy boots for a couple of hours. Felt a little leg weary after that.
Was feeling OK yesterday so I went out for a nice, easy 16 mile ride around town.
Climbed easy, kept my gears (and HR) low pretty low.
On the way back home, the local gendarmarie were diverting traffic up this short, little climb (1/10 mile @ 11-12%) and, yes, that meant me too (he was actually quite apologetic about it). I was feeling good, so I danced on the pedals and flew up this little rise. HR stayed good, just barely tickled 150 for a moment.
I made it the rest of the way home, was still feeling pretty good -I mean, I did take it pretty easy- so I climbed up the hard way. HR stayed good, All was well.
Today, though.. hooo boy! My legs are alive.
And not necessarily in a good way
My thighs are definitely a tad sore and they are twitchy.
Not a very good recovery ride, I guess. Think I'll take the day off.

The Sox are in a playoff run that they're about to win. You can't even tell that on this forum. Yes, there are posts here and there, but there's no real FANfare. And FTR TWITTER, the voice of the universe, does not reflect anything going on here. The Sox fans are happy, enthusiastic and just generally LOVE the team. They pretty much say almost everything I say here. They even get annoyed with the umpires, and they don't really appreciate their rivals. Just like any team's fans. They're all in.
I really think posters need to give that some thought. You may be comfortable with your little groups on other forums, but I worry about the future of THIS forum. If there's any chance of having REAL true blue Sox fans here who aren't concerned about how rival teams' fans feel about this Red Sox board, and just want to come and enjoy and celebrate the Red Sox, with no abuse for their comments, there really has to be some changes as to who's acceptable and who's not.
I'm just tired of this dual board that was never meant to be a dual board. There are NO Yankee dual boards that were meant to be Yankee boards. They are free to say whatever they want, like all team boards.
Let freedom ring, and let any Sox fan who wants to come and enjoy the Sox among other Sox fans FILL the board.

Irvine-based Broadcom, the semiconductor developer, is not only powering the iPhone and iPad--having been identified as one of the major component makers in those Apple hit devices--but apparently is behind a lot of the horsepower behind the Android market, with smartphone maker Samsung using the company's chips in its latest line of low-end Android phones. According to a J.P. Morgan analyst, Broadcom's chips are now in roughly a third of Samsung's smartphones, including Samsung's Galaxy Y, Galaxy Mini and Galaxy Ace devices. The firm's ARM processors are being used as the primary processors in those low end Samsung Android phones, and its GPS and wireless chips are being widely used in higher end Android smartphones, as well, according to multiple teardowns of Samsung's product line.

Hello lovelies,
my "favourites" type of posts will feature beauty product that I especially gravitated to the past month. I haven't done favourites for a while, primarily because for the past six months I've been focusing on using up the make-up I chose for my 14 for 2014 project. After six months, I've used up more than half of the products, so I finally feel comfortable to dig into my huge collection. Let's say I'm pretty happy I don't have to wear the same look every day anymore.

Athletes and Eating Disorders
In a sense, eating disorders are diets and fitness or sports programs gone horribly wrong. A person wants to lose weight, get fit, excel in his or her sport, but then loses control and ends up with body and spirit ravaged by starvation, binge eating, purging, and frantic compulsive exercise. What may have begun as a solution to problems of low self-esteem has now become an even bigger problem in its own right.
Several studies suggest that participants in sports that emphasize appearance and a lean body are at higher risk for developing an eating disorder than are non-athletes or folks involved in sports that require muscle mass and bulk.
Eating disorders are significant problems in the worlds of ballet and other dance, figure skating, gymnastics, running, swimming, rowing, horse racing, ski jumping, and riding. Wrestlers, usually thought of as strong and massive, may binge eat before a match to carbohydrate load and then purge to make weight in a lower class.
One study of 695 male and female athletes found many examples of bulimic attitudes and behavior. A third of the group was preoccupied with food. About a quarter binged at least once a week. Fifteen percent thought they were overweight when they were not. About twelve percent feared losing control, or actually did lose control, when they ate. More than five percent ate until they were gorged and nauseated.
In this study, five and a half percent vomited to feel better after a binge and to control weight. Almost four percent abused laxatives. Twelve percent fasted for twenty-four hours or more after a binge, and about one and a half percent used enemas to purge.
Another research project done by the NCAA looked at the number of student athletes who had experienced an eating disorder in the previous two years. Ninety-three percent of the reported problems were in women's sports. The sports that had the highest number of participants with eating disorders, in descending order, were women's cross country, women's gymnastics, women's swimming, and women's track and field events.
The male sports with the highest number of participants with eating disorders were wrestling and cross country.
Male and female athletes: different risk factors
The female athlete is doubly at risk for the development of an eating disorder. She is subject to the constant social pressure to be thin that affects all females in western countries, and she also finds herself in a sports milieu that may overvalue performance, low body fat, and an idealized, unrealistic body shape, size, and weight. Constant exposure to the demands of the athletic subculture added to those bombarding her daily on TV, in movies, in magazines, and transmitted by peers, may make her especially vulnerable to the lures of weight loss and unhealthy ways of achieving that loss.
Males also develop eating disorders but at a much reduced incidence (approximately 90% female; 10% male). Males may be protected somewhat by their basic biology and different cultural expectations.
Many sports demand low percentages of body fat. In general, men have more lean muscle tissue and less fatty tissue than women do. Males also tend to have higher metabolic rates than females because muscle burns more calories faster than fat does. So women, who in general carry more body fat than men, with slower metabolisms and smaller frames, require fewer calories than men do.
All of these factors mean that women gain weight more easily than men, and women have a harder time losing weight, and keeping it off, than men do. In addition, women have been taught to value being thin. Men, on the other hand, usually want to be big, powerful, and strong; therefore, men are under less pressure to diet than women are -- and dieting is one of the primary risk factors for the development of an eating disorder.
Special concerns: wrestlers and quick weight loss
Everyone who uses drastic and unhealthy methods of weight loss is at risk of dying or developing serious health problems, but the deaths of three college wrestlers in the latter part of 1997 triggered re-examination of the extreme weight-loss efforts common in that sport. Athletes in other sports have died too; runners and gymnasts seem to be at high risk. The deaths of three young men in different parts of the U.S. in the late 1990s has put the problem once again before the public.
News reports say that the three were going to school in North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Authorities believe they were trying to lose too much weight too rapidly so they could compete in lower weight classes. The wrestling coach at Iowa State University has been quoted as saying, "When you have deaths like this, it calls into question what's wrong with the sport. Wrestlers believe that, foremost, it's their responsibility to make weight, and that mind set may come from the fact that they find themselves invincible." They share that mind set with others who use dangerous methods of weight loss, both athletes and non-athletes.
Two of the young men were wearing rubber sweat suits while they worked out in hot rooms. One died from kidney failure and heart malfunction. The other succumbed to cardiac arrest after he worked out on an exercise bike and refused to drink liquids to replenish those he lost by sweating. One was trying to lose four pounds, the other six.
Wrestlers share a mentality with people who have eating disorders. They push themselves constantly to improve, to be fitter, to weigh less, and to excel. They drive themselves beyond fatigue. One coach reports that "wrestlers consider themselves the best-conditioned athletes that exist, and they like the fact they can go where no one's gone before. The instilled attitude among these kids is that if they push and push, it'll pay off with a victory." No one expects to die as a consequence of weight loss, but it happens.
When a clamor arose for the NCAA to do something, to make rules prohibiting drastic methods of weight loss, a representative said, "We could make every rule in the book, but we can't legislate ethics. That's where the wrestlers and coaches have to put the onus on themselves."
What price victory? It takes wisdom indeed to realize that in some circumstances the price is too high.
Update: August 2001
Researchers at Toronto General Hospital and York University in Toronto have reported a study which indicates that "there is little valid support for the theory that athletes with eating disorders are psychologically different from their non-athlete counterparts, nor any justification for the label 'anorexia athletica' or 'activity anorexia.' Scores on test instruments were no different in groups of non-athletic ED patients and groups of elite athletes with EDs. "There is no support for the concept that athletes with eating disorders are less ill than other eating disorders patients, or that their symptoms are simply due to over-training and the intensive training frequently required of elite athletes." (reported at the Academy for Eating Disorders conference, May 2001, Vancouver, and excerpted in Eating Disorders Review, July/August 2001, Gurze Books)

neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD). In many cases, the signs and symptoms of NICCD resolve within a year. Years or even decades later, however, some of these people develop the characteristic features of adult-onset type II citrullinemia. Adult-onset citrullinemia type II is caused by mutations in the SLC25A13 gene. This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.[1]Adult-onset citrullinemia type II is an inherited disorder that causes ammonia and other toxic substances to accumulate in the blood. The condition chiefly affects the nervous system, causing confusion, restlessness, memory loss, abnormal behaviors (such as aggression, irritability, and hyperactivity), seizures, and coma. These signs and symptoms can be life-threatening. The signs and symptoms appear during adulthood and are triggered by certain medications, infections, surgery, and alcohol intake. The features of adult-onset type II citrullinemia may also develop in people who as infants had a liver disorder called

Cronkite remembered as 'honorable' and 'an icon'
NEW YORK The death of Walter Cronkite elicited tributes from colleagues, presidents past and present, world-famous astronauts and those who hoped in vain to fill his empty anchor chair, all honoring the avuncular face of TV journalism who became the "most trusted man in America."
Cronkite died with his family by his side Friday night at his Manhattan home after a long illness, CBS vice president Linda Mason said. Marlene Adler, Cronkite's chief of staff, said Cronkite died of cerebrovascular disease. He was 92.
"It's hard to imagine a man for whom I had more admiration," Mike Wallace of "60 Minutes" said on CNN. "... He was a superb reporter and honorable man."
Cronkite was the face of the "CBS Evening News" from 1962 to 1981, when stories ranged from the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to racial and anti-war riots, Watergate and the Iranian hostage crisis.
It was Cronkite who read the bulletins coming from Dallas when Kennedy was shot Nov. 22, 1963, interrupting a live CBS-TV broadcast of a soap opera.
"Walter was who I wanted to be when I grew up," said CBS's "Face the Nation" host Bob Schieffer, 72, who began working at CBS News in 1969.
"He set a standard for all of us. He made television news what it became."
Cronkite died just three days before the 40th anniversary of the moon landing, another earthshaking moment of history linked inexorably with his reporting.
"He had a passion for human space exploration, an enthusiasm that was contagious, and the trust of his audience. He will be missed," astronaut Neil Armstrong said.
President Barack Obama issued a statement saying that Cronkite set the standard by which all other news anchors have been judged, echoing sentiments from former Presidents George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter.
"He invited us to believe in him, and he never let us down," Obama said. "This country has lost an icon and a dear friend, and he will be truly missed."
Cronkite was the broadcaster to whom the title "anchorman" was first applied, and he became so identified in that role that his name became the term for it in other languages. (Swedish anchors are known as Kronkiters; in Holland, they are Cronkiters.)
"Walter Cronkite was and always will be the gold standard," said ABC News anchor Charles Gibson. "His objectivity, his evenhandedness, his news judgment are all great examples."
CBS has scheduled a prime-time special, "That's the Way it Was: Remembering Walter Cronkite," for 7 p.m. Sunday.
"He was a great broadcaster and a gentleman whose experience, honesty, professionalism and style defined the role of anchor and commentator," CBS Corp. chief executive Leslie Moonves said in a statement.
A former wire service reporter and war correspondent, Cronkite valued accuracy, objectivity and understated compassion. He expressed liberal views in more recent writings but said he had always aimed to be fair and professional in his judgments on the air.
But when Cronkite took sides, he helped shape the times. After the 1968 Tet offensive, he visited Vietnam and wrote and narrated a "speculative, personal" report advocating negotiations leading to the withdrawal of American troops.
"We have been too often disappointed by the optimism of the American leaders, both in Vietnam and Washington, to have faith any longer in the silver linings they find in the darkest clouds," he said, and concluded, "We are mired in stalemate."
After the broadcast, President Lyndon B. Johnson reportedly said, "If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost middle America."
He also helped broker the 1977 invitation that took Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to Jerusalem, the breakthrough to Egypt's peace treaty with Israel.

This Rotten Week: Predicting The Words And The Cold Light of Day Reviews
By Doug Norrie 2012-09-02 10:29:43 comments
In 1894 Labor Day became a federal holiday and official end of the summer. Many folks take the weekend to drink beer, eat hamburgers and wear white for the last time until May. But not This Rotten Week. These offices are open every Sunday, holiday weekend or not. This week weve got Bradley Cooper copying words and Henry Cavill walking out into the light of day.
Just remember, I'm not reviewing these movies, but rather predicting where they'll end up on the Tomatometer. Let's take a look at what This Rotten Week has to offer.
The Words
There have been a number of high profile cases of plagiarism over the years and a big one recently (Im looking at you Jonah Lehrer), but none more hard-hitting and controversial than when Nate Harvey and I photocopied the encyclopedia (remember those?) entry for LSD ten minutes before class and read it as our report for senior year Psychology. Got an A. I mean really, were we going to do any better than the good folks over at World Book? I think not. Wasnt high school the best?
So I can really feel Bradley Coopers (Limitless-69%) pain here as he plays a struggling writer trying to publish a novel. And hes got a good news/ bad news thing working for him that only happens in movies. Bad news: his writing sucks and hes broke. Good news: his wife (Zoe Saldana) is world-class hot and wants to stay with a talentless and penniless (yet also hot) dude. Its a time-honored movie scenario. But Coopers world changes when he finds an old bros (Jeremy Irons) manuscript and copies it. The new book? Spec-f@#$ing-tacular of course.
First time directors Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal (both helped pen Tron: Legacy-50%) would love to have The Words be an artistic look at the trappings of success and the pressure to gain footing in a literary world. But it doesnt appear critics feel the same way. A few early reviews, including some from Sundance, have it trending a bit negative. There are a some positives pointed out but, as a whole, the film doesnt hold up completely over the entire narrative. As more critics feast their eyes on the super hot cast muddying their way through a possibly overdone whole, some may enjoy it, but the score wont crack the fifty percent mark. The Rotten Watch for The Words is 38%
The Cold Light of Day
If action movie rules can be taken as absolute and undeniable truths (and theres no reason to think they shouldnt), then know this: if your mother or father appear to work some lame, pencil-pushing job for Uncle Sam, the reality is they are high level CIA operatives with countless killing and spying skills. And watch your back, because theyve developed some enemies over the years.
So goes The Cold Light of Day, a movie high on casting, low on (it appears) everything else. Henry Cavill finds out his pops (Bruce Willis), isnt actually a business consultant, but in fact a dude with a brief case who people enjoy kidnapping and/or shooting at. And you know what? Its kind of f@#$ing up Cavills trip to Spain thank you very much. Now hes forced to run through parking garages, meet arbitrary bad guy time limits, jump off buildings, employ hot Spanish women as sidekicks, take a few lumps while tied to the oft-used bad guy metal interrogation chair and endure ridiculous taglines like Instinct is his only weapon.
Unfortunately, director Mabrouk El Mechris (the surprising JCVD (Van Dammage)-87%) movie saw the...wait for it...cold light of day (Boom!) and critics hate this piece of garbage. Can you blame them? It looks like a flick sent off the action film conveyor belt with a few recognizable faces thrown in to boost a ticket sale or two. It may get a mid week bump, but all in all this thing will stay in the gutter. The Rotten Watch for The Cold Light of Day is
Which Rotten movie will have the highest final Tomatometer score?
Recapping last week:
Oh so close. I had a bit of a head start on Lawless (Predicted: 78% Actual: 65%) going in and had to pick a direction the reviews would take over the long haul. I chose wrong and just missed on getting the prediction under ten percent. Over time this might get me into the winners circle (like ten more positive reviews with no negatives, which is a tall order), but right now it aint looking good. Maybe if they had titled it better Id have a winning prediction on my hands. Otherwise, its a narrow miss.
Meanwhile, The Possession (Predicted: 29% Actual: 37%) was a winning prediction. I came up on my score right at press time and it paid off getting me within ten percent. Its a been a rough summer and we needed this.
Next time around the Umbrella Corporation is back. Its going to be a Rotten Week!

The long code is a central tool in hardness of approximation, especially in questions related to the unique games conjecture. We construct a new code that is exponentially more efficient, but can still be used in many of these applications. Using the new code we obtain exponential improvements over several known results, including the following:
We show a connection between the local testability of linear codes and small set expansion in certain related Cayley graphs, and use this connection to derandomize the noise graph on the Boolean hypercube.

I run sram X.O and am very pleased with it. I would like to upgrade my brakes to the new Shimano hydraulic XT's. I was wondering if it is possible to run the new XT's without using the new shifter/brake pods from shimano.
I run sram X.O and am very pleased with it. I would like to upgrade my brakes to the new Shimano hydraulic XT's. I was wondering if it is possible to run the new XT's without using the new shifter/brake pods from shimano.
Run Magura's instead
Actually it is... they still have a seperate lever available (BL-M756) thats compatible with XT and XTR discs. That being said you have to deal with those new Centerlock hubs on the Shimano stuff now, unless you can find somewhere that still has the 6 bolt setup.Originally Posted by Raiyn
They still sell 6 bolt xt hubs at jensonusa and may other stores on prebuilt wheelsets. But do the XT calipers/brakes only work with centerlock dics? If not there shouldnt be a problem but that i dont know
Well, why not ditch Shimano entirely. Go with the Avid Juicy Sevens or Avid Mechs. Hayes also has great offerings.
Slowly but surely, Shimano is forcing everyone to choose. It's ALL SHIMANO or NO SHIMANO!!!! Anytime someone does this, I reflexively refuse to choose such a person or organization!!!
the deore hydro levers work too.
sold a few Saint and XT calipers with Deore levers.
Thanks for the advice- I was looking into the Avid Juicy's, too. I was leaning towards the XT's because I'd heard more about their performance.
Yes it is.
You will need to order from your LBS a pair of the following:
2X Shimano BL-M756 Hydraulic brake levers
2x Shimano BL-M555 Hydraulic brake levers
2x Shimano BL-M525 Hydraulic brake levers.
You will need the following brake hose kit:
Shimano SM -BH62/SM brake hose.
You need this hose because the XT caliper has a banjo fitting on the body and the levers that you can use with them have a straight entry. The the SM BH62 hose kit has the correct fitting on either end to mate with the lever and the caliper.
They work very well because I'm using that set up on my hardtail with Sram X.9 gripshift and rear derailleur except my calipers are BR M965 XTR.
It's also worth the effort because it out performs any brake out there when you use the M06 MEtal brake pads.
hope this helps

KU law professor Stephen Ware on judicial selection in Kansas, where 10,000 people control 2.8 million
KU professor Stephen Ware: "This violates basic equality among citizens, the principle of one-person, one-vote. The current system elevates one small group and treats everyone else like second-class citizens." The Kansas judicial selection model is unlike any other state.

Horizon Air Desktops
Service Level Agreement
Last updated: November 10, 2014
This Service Level Agreement is subject to the terms of the Terms of Service for VMware Horizon Air, and capitalized terms not defined here will have the meaning specified in the Terms of Service. We reserve the right to change the terms of this Service Level Agreement in accordance with the Terms of Service for the Service Offering.
VMware will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each unique Horizon Air Enterprise Center Console instance and all virtual desktops managed under that instance (collectively, an "Instance") purchased by a customer of the Service Offering ("you" or "Customer") is "Available" during a given calendar month equal to 99.9% ("Availability Commitment").
If the Availability of the Instance that you purchase is less than the associated Availability Commitment, then you may request Service Credits for that Instance of the service. Availability in a given month is calculated according to the following formula:
"Availability" = ((total minutes in a calendar month – total minutes Unavailable) / total minutes in a calendar month) x 100
Unavailability and SLA Events
An Instance will be considered "Unavailable," subject to the SLA Limitations provided below, if VMware's monitoring tools determine one of the following events has occurred ("SLA Event"). The total minutes that an Instance of service is Unavailable for a particular SLA Event is measured from the time that VMware validates the SLA Event has occurred, as defined below, until the time that VMware resolves the SLA Event such that the Service Offering is Available to you. If two or more SLA Event occurs simultaneously the SLA Event with the longest duration will be used to determine the total minutes Unavailable.
1. Each of the following will be considered an SLA Event for an Instance:
- Any of the network interfaces of the Service Offering Network are unavailable for more than 3 consecutive minutes. The "Service Offering Network" means the network that extends from the network interfaces of physical host servers for an Instance to the outside network interfaces providing the Service Offering's public internet connectivity.
- The data store(s) associated with your block level storage for an Instance are unavailable for more than 3 consecutive minutes.
- The self-service consoles (Enterprise Center or End User Portal) cannot successfully authenticate a simulated user for more than 5 consecutive minutes (excluding failures to authenticate due to VPN failures related to or resulting from an issue on the customer's side of the VPN).
- Your running virtual machines for an Instance become inaccessible for more than 5 consecutive minutes due to physical host server failures.
- VMware's fulfillment time of the Reservation Capacity quantity specified in the Reservation Capacity Plan Description (Bronze, Silver, Gold) purchased by the Customer is delayed by more than 5 minutes.
Service Credits
"Service Credits" means an SLA Credit, a Chronic SLA Credit, or a Repetitive SLA Credit.
If the Availability of an Instance, or activated Reserve Capacity, that you purchase is less than the associated Availability Commitment (99.9%) in a given calendar month, you may request 1 SLA Credit, and 1 additional SLA Credit for each additional 300 minutes the Instance, or activated Reserve Capacity, was Unavailable, up to a total of 3 SLA Credits in a given calendar month. An "SLA Credit" is an amount equal to 10% of the monthly Service Offering recurring subscription and metered charges invoiced by VMware for the affected Instance, or activated Reserve Capacity, in the calendar month for which the SLA Credit is due.
If a particular Instance, or activated Reserve Capacity, is Unavailable for 24 consecutive hours, you may request a Chronic SLA Credit. A "Chronic SLA Credit" is an amount equal to 100% of the monthly Service Offering recurring subscription and metered charges invoiced by VMware, for the affected Instance, or activated Reserve Capacity, in the calendar month in which the SLA Credit is due. Any Chronic SLA Credit is in lieu of any SLA Credits that might be otherwise due.
If you are eligible to receive an SLA Credit or Chronic SLA Credit in 3 consecutive calendar months and all the credits are related to the same SLA Event type, you may request a Repetitive SLA Credit. A "Repetitive SLA Credit" is an amount equal to 100% of the largest monthly Service Offering recurring subscription charges invoiced by VMware for the affected Instance, or activated Reserve Capacity, in one of the calendar months in which the SLA Event occurred. If an SLA Credit or a Chronic SLA Credit was already received in the Repetitive SLA Credit period, the amount of the Service Credit that you may request will be the difference between the aggregate amount of Service Credits received and the Repetitive SLA Credit.
Service Level Agreement Limitations
The following will be excluded from any time-based calculations related to an Instance being Unavailable: (i) scheduled maintenance windows where you have been notified at least 24 hours in advance, (ii) recurring or zero impact maintenance windows that are made generally available to all customers, (iii) your misuse of a particular Instance, (iv) force majeure events, denial of service attacks, virus or hacking attacks for which there is no commercially reasonable, known solution, or any other events that are not within our direct control or that could have been avoided with commercially reasonable care, (v) packet loss, network or internet problems beyond VMware's boarder router supporting our public internet connectivity, (vi) any network issues caused by compromised desktops with regards to virus or spyware that has infected one or more desktops, (vii) any issues caused by not up–to-date (a) DaaS Agent, (b) VMware tool running in the desktops, or (c) customer operating system configuration or installed third party software that prevents access to the Service Offering or degrades desktops performance, or (viii) bugs in code, hardware, or services for which there is no commercially reasonable, known fix (even if there is a known workaround).
You will not be eligible to receive a Service Credit if: (i) your service account has any payments for the Service Offering delinquent, (ii) you are in violation of Section 3 of the Terms of Service during the time of the SLA Event, or (iii) the SLA Event was due to your failure to meet your security responsibilities as set forth in the Terms of Service.
VMware's monitoring tools, data and records will be the sole source of information used to track and validate Availability. Upon request, VMware will provide to you, within 45 days after a confirmed SLA Event (but no more than once per calendar year), a copy of the Availability report that VMware makes generally available to customers.
Service Level Agreement Claims
In order to request any Service Credit, you must file a support request at https://my.vmware.com within thirty (30) days of the suspected SLA Event. VMware will review the request and issue a Service Credit when VMware validates the SLA Event based on VMware's data and records.
Service Credits will be issued to the person or entity that VMware invoices for the applicable Instance of the Service Offering, as a separate credit memo that can be applied towards a future invoice for that Service Offering Instance. If your subscription term for the Service Offering expires or is terminated prior to the issuance of a Service Credit, the Service Credit will become void as of the date of the expiration or termination.
The Service Credits specified in this Service Level Agreement are your sole and exclusive remedies for any SLA Events occurring during your subscription term for the Service Offering or for any other claim in connection with this Service Level Agreement.

--Glendower: I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
--Hotspur: Why so can I, or so can any man;/ But, will they come when you do call for them?--Henry IV, Part 1, III,i.
President Obama, finally, did what I had thought he would do on all big issues when I supported and worked for his election: he went over the heads of Congress and the DC-elite and appealed directly for public pressure.
Now, one can only hope that this constitutes a basic change in the president's view of his cherished bipartisanship, viz., that bipartisanship arises not from a series of premature surrenders to prove one's good faith, but rather from using his rhetorical and organizing skills to muster intense public pressure against members of Congress so that they will "enjoy" joining the cause.
But, he must follow through, an unusual action for Democrats who seem to have a perverse tendency to believe that winning the argument is sufficient, and thus tend not to repeat, repeat, repeat, and enlarge, enlarge, enlarge upon their points.
Let us hope that the president will set a new standard for Democrats, and follow through.
Tomorrow, for example, he ought to have a press conference repeating his basic theme, calling again on Americans to bring enormous pressure to bear on Congress, and enlarging his message by stating that government is "you," and that the expenditures it makes are incurred for our safety (defense, food, children's toys, medications, mining standards, clean water and air), and for the common good. That is, he should, finally, make explicit the case for government.
Wednesday he should do the above again, calling again on Americans to bring the pressure of their numbers to bear on Congress, and enlarging the message by observing that Republicans claim that our only problem is spending, whereas Democrats would say that we have BOTH revenue and spending needs. He ought also to say that "all pain is not created equal," and a billionaire paying millions more in taxes is less painful than an elderly woman deciding between keeping her air-conditioning on and taking her medications. That is, the case for revenues should be stronger.
On Thursday, he should do all the above again, and begin to spell out the impacts Republican "cut/cap/balance" would have on the common good and on ordinary Americans.
And so on. The key is to use each of these appearances to pick up the themes of the last, and to call on the American people to bring pressure to bear on their Member of Congress.
Then, either the Republicans will have compromised OR the president will have laid the groundwork of support for him and his position among the American people so that invoking the 14th Amendment and raising the debt-ceiling himself will be popular.
This fight will then take on a much larger significance -- one hopes. If the president enjoys the success that this strategy will bring, he can then employ the same strategy for a robust job creation program. For that, he has the "army of the unemployed", plus unions, plus the American people as a whole, strongly in his camp, who will self-organize once this president is bold in his prescription and sounds the call for support.
He just needs to flex and coordinate that muscle.

The patient is a 61-year-old, gravida 5, para 5, who presented with a history of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, coronary artery disease, arthritis and gingivitis. She had a surgical history significant for right coronary artery stent that was placed approximately 10 years ago in 1999. She underwent an exploratory laparotomy, total abdominal hysterectomy and unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAH/USO) at the age of 35 for menorrhagia, and also underwent a removal of a breast cyst. The patient presented with increased hair growth on her neck, face and abdomen for the past 2 years and initially presented to a dermatologist for hair removal. In addition, she has had some loss of hair on her head with a receding hairline. She noted that her voice has been deeper over the past year. She has had increased irritability and decreased libido. She had clitoromegaly. As part of her workup for this hirsutism, she had several hormone levels sent, which were concerning for an elevated dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) of 2974 ng/dL with a normal being less than 370 ng/dL in her age group, an elevated androstenedione at 2672 ng/dL (upper level of normal 268 ng/dL) and an elevated free and total serum testosterone with a total testosterone of 1054 ng/dL and an elevated free testosterone of 38.0 pg/mL. Given these findings, the patient was referred to an endocrinologist. The endocrinologist repeated this laboratory work, which confirmed the above findings. She also had an elevated CA-125 noted to be 50.8 units/mL. Subsequently, the patient underwent a transvaginal ultrasound, which showed a heterogenous mass with cystic foci with the epicenter at the right adnexa. The mass measured 7.7 x 5.8 x 5.6 cm and was concerning for a malignancy (Figure 1). She then underwent a CT scan, which showed a 10 x 6 cm lobulated heterogenous solid mass in the pelvis, slightly to the right of midline (Figure 2). There were no abnormalities noted of the liver, spleen, pancreas or adrenal glands, and she had no abdominal or retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy.
The surgeon and patient decided to proceed with removal of the adnexal mass. Based on intra-operative consulatation with the pathologist, the surgeon performed resection of the right pelvic mass, removal of the left fallopian tube, bilateral pelvic and periaortic lymph node sampling, omentectomy, peritoneal biopsies for staging and an appendectomy. There was no gross residual disease at the completion of surgery. There was retroperitoneal fibrosis and pelvic adhesive disease.
Gross Pathologic Findings
The pelvic mass measured 9.0x 7.0 x 5.0 cm and consisted of a tan-pink lobulated the mass. The external surface of the mass displayed a prominent 3.5 x 3.0 x 2.5 cm yellow orange surface nodule (Figure 3). On cut section, the tumor demonstrated yellow-orange, mottled lobulated soft tissue. Several of the lobules are separated by dense, white, fibrous septae. No necrosis was identified. No grossly normal ovarian tissue was identified (Figure 4).
Microscopic Pathologic Findings
Sections of the tumor demonstrate sheets of neoplastic cells. There are two distinct populations, one containing eosinophilic cytoplasm and the other showing clear cytoplasm. In some areas these populations are continuous (Figures 5 and 6) while others are separated by broad fibrous septae (Figure 7). The nuclei demonstrate a moderate degree of pleomorphism, particularly in the eosinophilic areas, with varying shapes and sizes (nuclear grade 2) (Figure 8). The tumor mitotic activity is 3-4 mitotic figures per 10 high power fields (Figure 9).
Immunohistochemical studies differed somewhat between the two populations of cells (Figure 10) with the clear cell population staining much more weakly than the eosinophilic population, but with both populations still showing positivity for inhibin (Figure 11) and calretinin (Figure 12). Immunohistochemical studies for epithelial membrane antigen, S100, HMB-45 and CD99 were all negative in the tumor cells. Melan-A showed patchy positivity in the cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm.
In addition, several areas were suspicious for vascular space invasion (Figure 13), which was confirmed with CD31 (Figure 14). D2-40 was also performed which highlighted the lymphatic endothelium and confirmed the absence of lymphatic space involvement.

Fumigation is a method of pest control that completely fills an area with gaseous pesticides known as fumigants in order to kill pests within an area. It is an effective method for controlling pests such as woodborers and drywood termites.
Structural fumigation begins with the covering of the structure to create a sealed environment; this process is referred to as tenting. Structures are typically tented with a rubber material. Next a fumigant is released into the sealed space, and the seal is held on the structure until the fumigant has reaches all spaces throughout the structure. The seal concentrates the fumigant and prevents the fumigant from escaping the structure. The amount of time the building is sealed depends on the size of the building and the severity of infestation. After pests have been eliminated, the structure is ventilated to allow the fumigant to escape, making it safe for humans to re-occupy the structure.

Team Coco Podcast #74: Breaking Bad Creator Vince Gilligan
Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan dropped by the Team Coco Podcast to talk with host Aaron Bleyaert to discuss the challenges of crafting this first half of the show's final season, in addition to insight into what makes Breaking Bad such a unique television experience.

Some brief excerpts:
-Gilligan's mother, Gail Gilligan, played the neighbor that Walt sends in to turn off the stove, as a means of luring out any suspected threats in the season four finale, "Face Off."
-Gilligan credits the visceral thrill and excitement behind writing characters like Walt and Jesse to the catharsis involved in writing characters who embody a way of life you'll never live yourself.
-He often misses the simpler days of the show, when the series had more darkly comedic elements, a "Laurel and Hardy" aspect to the show, before it became as serious as it ultimately did.
-Gilligan credits his seven years working on The X Files and on its short-lived spinoff series, The Lone Gunman, with preparing him for the task of running his own show, particularly crediting The X Files creator Chris Carter for mentoring him.
-He'd love to direct a movie someday, although he acknowledges just how good TV has been to him, since it's easier to get his vision from his head to the screen.
-Gilligan is trying to mount a Breaking Bad edition of Mythbusters.
For the rest of the big revelations, you'll have to check out the podcast by following the link below. Gilligan reveals which character wasn't meant to survive Season One, as well as which actor was so good at his villainous role that he was kept alive much longer than he was ever supposed to be.
Again, if you're not caught up with Breaking Bad all the way up to this past Sunday's "Buyout," skip this podcast and come back once you have, as SPOILERS ABOUND.
