text: Friday, February 25, 2011 New in the Literature: Cervical Spondylosis (Rheumatol Int. Online first January 19) Exercise treatment has an important role in achieving long-term recovery of problems occurring with cervical spondylosis, say authors of an article published online ahead of print January 19 in Rheumatology International. Patients for this study were randomized into 3 groups. The first group (n = 20) received active and passive physical therapy methods, the second group (n = 20) received active treatment methods, and the third group (n = 20) received medication, including nonsteroid anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxing medicines. The first and second groups received individual exercise treatment according to their current problems as determined by the assessment. Pain recovery was found to be significant after treatment and long-term follow-up for all 3 groups. Disability improvement was significant in all groups after treatment and 3 months and only in the first group after 6 months. Quality of life improvement was significant in all groups after treatment, at 3 months, and in the first and second groups at 6 months. Psychological recovery was significant in all groups after treatment and in the first and second groups during long-term follow-up. It was determined that patient satisfaction did not change in the first and second groups, but it decreased in the third group during long-term follow-up. There was more improvement in the 2 groups receiving exercise treatment than in the group receiving medical treatment.

Summer of the Serpent
A film by
Kimi Takesue
2004, 27 minutes, Color, 35mm/DVD
Order No. W05867
This beautiful short drama exquisitely explores the unlikely bond that develops between two people from different worlds. Eight-year old Juliette sits at the side of the local pool waiting for another lonely summer day to pass when an unexpected pair of Japanese newcomers arrives. Fascinated by the mysterious black-clad woman and her yakuza assistant, Juliette transforms an ordinary day into an imaginative adventure, embarking on a surreal journey of discovery.
Tender and beautifully hypnotic, Summer of the Serpent raises provocative questions about difference and desire. It also artfully explores representations of Asians on film, Asian masculinity, and cross-cultural encounters through the story of one young woman�s burgeoning sexuality.

Authorities search for baby who disappeared after grandmother's slaying in Philadelphia suburb
KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. – Authorities searched Tuesday for a 10-month-old girl who was declared missing after her grandmother, who was baby-sitting her, was found slain inside the family's apartment in a Philadelphia suburb.
Investigators are focusing on reuniting Saanvi Venna with her parents in two probes that are "intricately connected," Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said.
Investigators did not immediately release details on the death of the girl's grandmother, 61-year-old Satyavathi Venna. Ferman would not say how the woman was killed or whether there were any suspects, but investigators believe the abduction occurred sometime between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday.
"All of our resources are focused on finding Saanvi and reuniting her with her parents," Ferman said in an interview. "The search for the child is intricately connected to the homicide investigation."
Police issued an Amber alert for Saanvi on Monday following the discovery of her paternal grandmother's body at the Marquis Apartments in King of Prussia, about 15 miles west of Philadelphia. Later in the night, the girl's father issued a tearful plea for his baby's return.
Upper Merion Township police said the girl's father, Venkata Konda Siva Venna, and mother, Chenchu Latha Punuru, immigrated to the U.S. from India in February 2007. The couple lived in San Antonio, Cleveland and Troy, Mich., before moving to the Philadelphia-area apartment complex in June.
On Tuesday, Montgomery County authorities canvassed the apartment complex in search of clues.
The grandmother had arrived in July and was scheduled to return home in January, police said. At the time she was killed and the child was abducted, the woman had been baby-sitting the child, police said.
Family members speaking on behalf of Saanvi's parents pleaded for her return as they gathered at the Upper Merion Township Police Department.
"Bring the girl back to the parents," said Ram Venna, 36, the girl's uncle, who had flown in from his home in San Jose, Calif.
Madhukar Sanikommu, 42, of Warren, N.J., a cousin of Saanvi's father, said the family was trying to hold onto hope that the girl would be found.
"We're all devastated right now," Sanikommu said.
The FBI is assisting in the investigation, said Frank Burton, a spokesman for the agency's Philadelphia office.

Alexa Chung's Beauty Routine
"My nighttime skincare routine is walk in the front door, put my keys down, take my shoes off, get naked, clean my teeth, go for a wee, drink some water and go to bed in full makeup," says Alexa Chung as soon as she hops on the phone. The model, DJ, TV host, reigning style queen, and, most recently, author of the book It, out today, is totally serious—but she does have more than a few tricks up her sleeve.
"I might be a pro at this point!" Chung says when asked about the beauty knowledge she's picked up on set, before rattling off a list of tips: "Brow shape is so important for framing your face. And always curl your lashes; it really does open up your eyes. Look directly into the mirror when you're putting on concealer—you can see the bags better than if you look up. Smile when you put on blusher so you can get it on the apples of your cheeks."
We'd hire her based on that alone. You'll find the rest of Chung's tips, tricks, and product favorites, above.
"Sometimes I wash my face at night and sometimes I don't," Chung says. If she does, it's likely with the bar of Dove Soap ($12) sitting on her bathroom sink.
Chung cherishes her morning shower though, lathering up with Aesop's Geranium Leaf Body Cleanser ($45) and Decleor's Aroma Cleanse 3-in-1 Hydra Radiance ($33).
By morning, Chung's ready to wash her face. She uses Sisley's Creamy Mousse Cleanser ($116), another gel that turns into a mousse once lathered.
"I use L'Oreal's EverPure Color Care Shampoo ($7) and Conditioner ($7)," says Chung, who was added to the brand's UK roster this summer. "I had my hair dyed recently as part of a job, and this keeps it in really good condition."
"Moisturizer's a real sore point for me at the moment," Chung says. Her favorite, Moisturelle, was just discontinued this month. "My skin is crying." So now she uses Weleda's Skin Food ($19), in the green tube. "The one for your body, I use it on my face."
Does Chung wear makeup on her days off? "I suppose the main point here is that I don't have days off," she says. But if she's doing her own makeup, she has a stable of favorites: "I like Laura Mercier's concealer ($23), Stila blusher ($25) and Chanel lipstick ($34) #90."
Chung's working on a cosmetics collection with Eyeko, born from a genuine love of their Skinny Eyeliner Pen ($16). She favors Lancome's Definicils Mascara ($27), and Eyeko's Brow Gel ($24). "It's really good," she says of the gel. "It's got a slight tint to it; gel those brows up!"
"Just as my skin is the driest thing on planet Earth—apart from the Sahara desert—my hair is the greasiest thing on the face of the earth—apart from KFC," Chung says. She spraying L'Oréal Professionnel's Texture Expert Fresh Dust Hair Powder ($20) into her roots all day long.
If you've ever colored your hair, you know how much dye changes the texture. "The ends get dry, so I use Mythic Oil ($32)," says Chung. "I use it so sparingly it's insane, but it really does the trick."

Given Chung's full calendar, we wondered if she had any tips for appearing fresh-faced after a particularly raucous event. "Someone told me that someone else does this—a model," she says, without specifying whom. "After she's had a big night out, she fills the sink with ice cubes and water and dunks her head in it to sort of reduce everything. But my thing is, I weirdly look better hungover with a bit of a puffy face than I do when I've had loads of rest. That's annoying, isn't it?"

Last year, Chung was scaling new nail art heights. Now? "I've decided that no nail varnish is the new nail varnish," she says. "I got sick of the nail art so I just went and got them buffed."

The situation
Multi-module clojure-contrib in one repository has not worked well
Build is complicated and slow
Still hard for authors to work on their libs
We will have more projects under the org.clojure umbrella
New contrib libraries: nrepl, unify, finger-tree
More on the way
Current Clojure release process involves manual steps
The goals, in order of priority
For users
1. Find release versions
2. IDE / tool support
3. Get just the stuff they need, without stuff they don't
4. Easy-to-use distributions containing multiple libraries known to work together
For developers
1. Build / release automation
2. Unified build / release process across projects
3. IDE / tool support
The plan
Clojure, the language
has been applied
Keeps the Ant build the way it is now
Developers can continue to use Ant for local builds
Maven controls the build/test/release process on Hudson
Real pom.xml
Declares Sonatype's oss-parent POM as a parent

and the
Maven Central Repository
The interim multi-module build structure is deprecated
Module releases up to 1.3.0-alpha4 are available in the

These are source-only JARs wherever possible
They should be compatible with any version of Clojure
The multi-module build does not work with Clojure 1.3.0-alpha5 and later
Libraries with community demand
willing maintainers will become "new" contrib projects as above
"classic" clojure-contrib JIRA
is deprecated
Important issues should be reposted in the new per-project JIRAs
Work to be done
DONE Clean up / finalize pom.contrib
Replace 3-level inheritance (pom.oss-deploy -> pom.baseline -> pom.contrib) with just pom.contrib
DONE Finalize contrib project Hudson config
DONE Figure out how to give Hudson permissions to contrib authors (Stuart Sierra & Aaron Bedra)
DONE Create new Hudson job for finger-tree
DONE Figure out how to manage many similar Hudson configurations (Chas Emerick & Stuart Sierra)
Keeping Hudson config in version control
Hudson API
TODO verify Sonatype release goals do the right thing in the presence of multiple staging repositories
TODO Get older releases into Maven Central?
TODO Redirect repositories at build.clojure.org to OSS Sonatype
Assuming we roll all existing releases into central, we only need to set up redirects for /snapshots
Possible future development
Improve the Maven build process; see
Clojure Maven Plugin
Better Clojure-from-Java interface (see
Aggregate projects that package many contrib libraries in one distribution
Testing harness to build/test many Clojure libraries with a locally-built Clojure JAR
Making the build process better
Improve clojure.lang.Compile
Investigate why compilation sometimes pauses for a long time (minutes) at the end
Investigate if core needs explicit compilation order
Investigate Maven 3
Investigate Polyglot Maven
Documentation: how do I do X, Y, or Z?
Write more plugins
Not hard
Possible in Clojure; see
More portable than shell scripts
Developing other non-Maven tools
Will require a lot of work to match what Maven can do
Not a Clojure/core priority

Suzuki Samurai Suspension Upgrade - Project Sami SupremePosted in How To on April 1, 2008
Picking up where we left off with the first part of our Sami Supreme project, a master plan was formulated to begin the radical transformation. Next, a toyota five-speed transmission was installed along with a dual-T-case setup, and it was time to address change in tire size. The 35-inch Baja Claws that were on the Sami from its initial buildup December 2003 issue) were great tires, as were the Eaton steel beadlock wheels they were mounted on, but there were many situations on the trail where a larger tire would have helped. The steel beadlock wheels are extremely tough wheels, but not the lightest, especially when you're trying to turn them with a 65hp engine, so a decision was made to upgrade both the wheels and tires to something taller and lighter.
After a bit of "wheelin' and dealin'," the Baja claws and Eatons were sold and replaced with an almost new set of 37x17 Goodyear MT/Rs. The MT/R is a great tire, suitable for a wide range of terrain, and is fairly lightweight compared to similar tires. The only problem was that the new 37-inch tires would not clear the firewall, so the front axle would have to be pushed forward a bit. This in turn would require modification to the front fenders, relocating the steering box, and the entire front suspension would have to be completely redesigned. A benefit of moving the axle forward would be a longer wheelbase. The current 87-inch wheelbase was simply too short to conquer extreme angles and hillclimbs, so a stretch in that department would really help.
With a bit of research and inquiries into popular wheelbase lengths, it was finally determined that 100-110 inches is optimal for a rig riding on 37-inch tires. Averaging this figure, it was decided that the new wheelbase should be 105 inches. With the wheelbase determined, it was time to figure out what to do with the suspension. While the Jeep Wrangler YJ leaf springs that had been on the sami for the past four years offered a lot of flex and stability, the setup was getting a little worn-out, and with all of the modifications to the wheelbase and chassis, it only seemed natural to step up to a link setup. There are a lot of different link setups out there to choose from, so the next crucial decision would be finding a setup that would work on the Sami while providing the ultimate in flex and drivability.
Looking further into linked-suspension setups and becoming thoroughly confused, a call was made to All-Pro Off-Road. Considering cost, clearance, usage, and everything else involved with the project, All-Pro recommended a three-link setup with a Panhard bar and air shocks. As luck would have it, the company had just developed its Taco' Supreme system, which is a weld-on front three-link (with Panhard bar) setup that could possibly be adapted to the samurai. Designed to retrofit a solid axle under the Toyota Tacoma, the Taco' Supreme kit includes all necessary frame and axle brackets as well as shock towers and heavy-duty adjustable links outfitted with large heim joints and extra-tough Johnny Joints.
With three-link kit in hand, it was evident that with some slight modifications, the kit would work on the ront of the Samurai and even push the front axle forward just the right amount to allow firewall clearance for the new 37-inch tires. The nice thing about using the All-Pro kit is that all of the engineering was already done by professionals, ensuring correct suspension geometry. Once the front suspension was set up, the rear could be duplicated using the same components to also provide correct geometry.
Starting up front, the all-Pro suspension was mocked-up and tacked into place. The front fenders were removed, and a new front bumper was fabricated to extend the framerails, providing a new mounting location for the steering box and winch. To complete the front suspension, a new, heavy-duty custom axlehousing was ordered from Diamond axles, making the setup extra-bulletproof. Finally, some tube fenders and a narrowed tube grille were fabricated to finish up the front, and it was time to tackle the rest of the rig.
Moving toward the back, the rear axle was repositioned to make the wheelbase 105 inches, and the bed was removed with a sawzall. Next, the rear framerails were narrowed to rovide clearance for the rear shocksand tires, and a new bumper was fabricated to tie it all together. A 12-gallon jaz fuel cell was chosen to replace the stock gas tank and integrated into the new rear end. Beneath the rear of the rig, a three-link setup (with Panhard bar) was designed, fabricated, and assembled to duplicate the same dimensions and geometry as the front all-Pro kit. Just like the front, a Diamond axle housing was used to finish up the rear-suspension setup.
After many hours of tube bending, notching, fitting, and welding, the rear of the sami supreme began to take shape with a rear extension added to the existing rollcage along with some new, integrated rock sliders. With the front and rear suspension tacked into place, everything was cycled and measured, using jacks and a forklift before permanently welding all frame, shock, and axle brackets into place.
Once the suspension and cage work received the final welds and gussets, it was time to address the details. Coast Driveline & gear built a custom set of driveshafts using standard, easily replaceable components. A new transmission tunnel and seat mount was fabbed up and tied into the frame. Next, a large bellypan skidplate was designed and constructed to protect the new drivetrain.
With everything buttoned up, the sami supreme was ready for some brief testing in the parking lot before turning it loose in its natural habitat. All of the steel was cleaned up and given a fresh coat of Krylon just hours before its debut at the 45th annual tierra Del sol Desert safari. Only a few short months after the project began, the sami supreme was tackling some serious terrain with ease at tds and wowing the crowds as it performed flawlessly the entire weekend. The story doesn't end here, however, as the next part of our sami supreme project will feature more trail testing and an upgrade in the horsepower department.

Egg Industry Seeks Post-Prop. 2 Solutions22 June 2009
CALIFORNIA, US - The state's egg industry is trying to find practical solutions to meet with Proposition 2 (Prop. 2), which will ban all conventional battery cages in the state from 2015.Huffington Post reports that by one of the biggest margins in California's rich initiative history, voters decreed last year that egg-laying hens must be able to stretch their wings without touching another bird or a cage wall.
But the details of the new animal welfare law are bedeviling egg farmers.
Some are even rumored to be breeding hens with shorter wings, a tactic producers deny with a laugh.
And a newly introduced bill in Sacramento would require competing farmers in other states to adopt California's standards if they want to sell eggs in the Golden State.
California's egg producers say they do not know how to comply with the vague language of the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act, short of allowing hens to range free.
"We aren't about to invest millions without black and white standards that talk about stocking densities, height and width," Modesto egg producer, Jill Benson, said.
Ms Benson operates three barns, each the size of a football field, that house 500,000 hens in wire cages.
Industry-wide, chickens are now provided an average space the size of an 8-by-11 sheet of paper.
The new regulations approved in November do not take effect until 2015, but the egg fight has already come to roost in the state Capitol, where lawmakers are being lobbied by producers to clarify the requirements and address the added cost to meet them.
"You still have an industry in denial," state Senator Dean Florez, chairman of the Food and Agriculture Committee, told The Associated Press after a hearing this week.
Though last year's ballot measure did not specifically call for cage-free hen houses, the Humane Society of the United States admittedly sponsored and wrote it so no currently available cage systems could meet the requirements.
"Cage-free was what we were talking about," said Jennifer Fearing, who guided the Proposition 2 campaign for the organisation.
In a 63.5 per cent landslide last November, eight million voters decided the state's 19.4 million confined, egg-laying hens must have room to stand up, turn around and extend their wings.
California egg ranchers contend the requirements will add a penny to the cost of every egg and could put them out of business as they try to compete with operations in other states that do not face the same rules.
California producers are seeking ways to keep their hens in cages and still comply with the law. They say caging systems make it easier and more cost-effective to feed hens, keep them clean and collect their eggs.
"The question is how much space [chickens must have]", Debbie Murdock, executive director of the United Egg Producers, said on the group's web site.
Huffington Post reports that the recently introduced bill in Sacramento would require out-of-state producers who supply more than half of the 10 billion eggs consumed by Californians each year to treat their laying hens as well as Golden State producers.
California's $300 million egg industry, the fifth largest in the nation, warned in ballot arguments that passage of Proposition 2 would require hens to live outdoors.
The Humane Society countered the industry should have little trouble adapting since it already has its own guidelines for farmers who choose to raise hens cage-free. The guidelines call for perches, scratching areas and nests for chickens living in flocks.
"Now that Prop 2 is law, the egg industry is trying to punch a hole in it, undo the will of the voters," Humane Society CEO, Wayne Pacelle, wrote in a statement to the AP.
Meanwhile, restaurant chains such as Burger King and Wendy's have started using more cage-free eggs at the urging of the society.
Society officials say cage-free hens could position California farmers to dominate the fast-growing specialty egg market, which accounts for about five per cent of nationwide sales.
"California egg producers will never win the race to the cheapest egg, because Iowans live closer to the grain," Ms Fearing told Huffington Post. "But they can win the race to the most highly valued egg." ThePoultrySite News Desk

dtucker230 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 237 diseños de 65 diseñadores freelance.
OurLoveStar (OurLoveStar is our USPTO registered trade name)
OurLoveStar, Inc. is a new online gift company designed to offer sentimental gifts at low prices. Our first product is to offer a star naming service ("OurLoveStar") where people (let's use the example of a boyfriend - BF; he can get on and name a star for his GF). He can pick the star he wants to give, name it ("Susie" or "Sue Rodgers" or whatever), add a short message (such as "I love you sweetheart, Happy Anniversary") and the date he wants her to receive the gift. GF will then receive a certificate attached to a nice email (or SMS text) telling her about the gift. The certificate will include the information the BF put into our system, and the location of the star in the sky (every star has an address). The gift, and the company, are to be branded as symbols of eternal affection. Other gifts, based on the OurLoveStar name
The principal target market is principally the BF/GF (or BF/BF & GF/GF) market, ages 16 - 25. Secondary market is friends and relatives in the 16-65 age group. The product is low priced (starting at about $10) so it can be attractive to any economic demographic group. Their are many other companies offering this same product so it is not new.
I am searching for people who wish to give a sentimental gift/gesture in an easy, fast and economical manner. My target market are people who are more whimsical and less analystical. Part driven by romance (BF/Gf, et al) and part driven by other sentiments (grandmother/grandchild, etc.)
I want something clean and simple. Professional looking, not childish or cartoonish. The logo should make the company look professional and prosperous, yet fun and romantic. It should have a soft but strong feel to it.
I would envision something with a star or a heart or both. It can have the company's website (http://www.ourlovestar.com), or not.
Don't worry too much about colors at first, we can change them as we go forward.

Dunne, Sep 2002, 24.95, 400 pp. ISBN: 0312280750 In 2012, the world has plenty of trouble to contend with already when the signal begins. Something is coming from underneath the Antarctic ice and it is emitting world wide as ancient artifacts that ignore artificial man-made boundaries are activated. The millenniums old monuments connect to one another via low frequency sound waves, but no one knows why the activation started or what the intent ...
When Detective James North arrives at a hostage scene at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, he's disturbed to discover that the bad guy is asking for him by name. North has no idea who he is or why he is so important to this man, but when the hostage situation implodes North finds himself injected with a serum that imparts hallucinations, nightmares and memories that are not his own. As the hunt for Gene begins North unlocks the secrets to a very per...

Usually the vibe in Decomposed is low key and fairly serious. That is, unless a Rivers runs through it. And after a year full of hootenannies, incongruous collaborations, and breaking world records, this is surprising absolutely nobody. A few weeks ago he put out a call for a pianist and an a cappella group to help decompose some tunes for us. Along with those folks, he brought a pretty enthusiastic up-and-comer named Jermaine Dupri (!). Throw in a cowboy flutist and three tunes from Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo (including a Beach Boys cover) and you have a Rivers-sized holiday spectacle.
The session unfolds in three parts: first there's "I Was Scared," on which Cuomo's joined by his hand-selected pianist Sonya Lee and five members of the Dartmouth Aires, an a cappella group from Dartmouth College. For the Beach Boys' "Don't Worry Baby," Rivers goes sans piano and full-on a cappella with the Dartmouth quintet on backing harmonies. And then there's the grand jam of "Can't Stop Partying," which features five acoustic guitarists and three percussionists (from bands Crash Kings, Alkaline Trio, Yellowcard, Melee, Reeve Oliver and Ozma), big-hatted flutist Greg Vail, and Mr. Dupri. Fresh for '08.

Mike Smith's public statements are usually as colorful as his name. That's why it was hard not to notice when the Atlanta Falcons coach brought up his team's playoff chances Tuesday to NFL Media's Rich Hollenberg.
"I feel very good about it," Smith said when asked about this year's squad. "If somebody asks me, 'Do you think we're gonna make the playoffs?' I'd tell you, 'Yes.'"
We didn't even need to ask. This is the type of positivity you expect to hear in the offseason. But Smith said it unprompted and with a purpose.
The Falcons aren't your average team coming off a 4-12 record. They were the No. 1 seed in the NFC just two seasons ago, which was their third consecutive playoff season. Matt Ryan is a top-10 quarterback in his prime.
Smith spent his news conference talking up the team's desire to get tougher this offseason, and the Falcons' signings reinforce that belief. Smith also seemingly wants to remind his players that they are a talented bunch. This is an organization that expects to be in the playoffs every year. Smith and general manager Thomas Dimitroff successfully raised the bar when they took over in 2008, and another losing season would be cause for soul-searching.
In the latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast," the guys talk Geno Smith's future in New York and pick the winners and losers of free agency.

If you're like most families I know, at least one night a week is typically designated as Taco Night. Tacos are easy to make, everyone loves them, and it's always good to have that easy idea in the pocket. But why not shake things up just a little bit with this tasty taco ring?
From Her View From Home, it's a delicious twist on traditional tacos. Instead of using corn or flour shells, you instead use crescent roll dough as the foundation. Inside you put ground beef, cheese, and all of the other goodness of tacos. Toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, and sour cream can be piled up in the middle, and everyone can help themselves. It's great for a family dinner or to feed a crowd at a potluck or other event.
Taco Ring
1 lb. lean ground beef
¼ cup onion
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 to 1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup sweet corn
2 tablespoons water
1 cup salsa
2 (8-ounce) packages crescent roll dough
1/2 head lettuce, shredded
1 large tomato, coarsely chopped, for garnish
1 cup whole pitted black olives halved, for garnish
Sour cream (to garnish)
Set oven to 375°F. In a skillet, brown the hamburger and onion.
In a bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, taco seasoning mix, salsa, cheese, sweet corn, and water.
On a lightly greased pizza pan or round baking stone, arrange the crescent triangles in a circle, with the larger sides of the dough overlapping each other a bit in center, with the points to the outside (you should have a 5-inch diameter circle in the center).
Spoon a small amount of meat mixture over rolls.
Fold the points of the triangles over the filling, and tuck under the base at the center (the filling will not be completely covered).
Bake 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Mound lettuce, tomato, and olives with sour cream garnish in the middle of the ring and serve!

The system of composition which seeks the ideal of architectural purity. Some collections leave an indelible trace on the evolution of a company. GAP makes the past and tradition its own and recovers the concept of winning projects with passionate artisanship. This is the idea that generates a high level of flexibility: the opportunity to develop furniture along the axes; an important recovery of space which translates into significant savings. Pure geometry and harmonious natural and suggestive forms, in the pursuit of the most precise composition. Ample surfaces, narrow horizontal lines, freely inserted connecting elements and chromatic contrast between different materials create a compositional system that strives towards an ideal of architectural purity. From individual workstations to aggregate compositions, GAP opens up new solutions for teamwork and creative collaboration even in smaller spaces, thanks to the versatility of its parts and simple combination systems. The form integrates with the storage elements that become structure, responding to the dynamism required by furnishings. GAP facilitates team work and creative collaboration, thanks to the versatility of the screen elements, shelves and filing units in sheet metal that enclose the work surface. The work surface is populated every day with objects closely bound to the work that takes place there and the personality of its occupant. Screens, lamps, shelves and storage units alternate around the central profile, which conceals the wiring, to create situations that are never the same. Large accommodating areas for meetings. Timeless forms emerge perfectly from the composition of elements, to become symbols. The easy articulation of the components, fittings and accessories allow any meeting area to be furnished with taste and functionality.

Sarah Disgrace needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 51 designs submitted by 20 freelance designers.
I am looking for a new logo for my main website, Sarah Disgrace, which houses information about all of my writing projects as well as my blog.
Sarah Disgrace is my personal website and currently houses information about all of my creative projects (such as novels and short stories), as well as a link to my blog, http://sarahdisgrace.blogspot.com. I am in the process of redesigning both the content and look of my website to include not only my creative projects, but my other freelance work (for various magazines and websites) and business writing as well. My blog will continue to play an important piece in the overall website. Note, the silhouette on the main page of the website will not carry over to the new website design - in fact, I am open to letting the new logo inspire and lead the overall direction of the new look.
Please take a look at the current website and blog to get a sense of my style, tone, and personality - I would love a logo that really communicates all three clearly. In terms of my writing background and areas of expertise, my first two novels were both fiction and told my a teen perspective, but I am currently working on a non-fiction book. My freelance primarily centers around entertainment and pop culture. I have also included a bio below.
Sarah Grace McCandless is the author of the novels Grosse Pointe Girl: Tales From a Suburban Adolescence and The Girl I Wanted to Be, both published by Simon & Schuster. She is also a regional producer for "Mortified Live" and a contributor to a variety of publications and websites including Swindle, Forces of Geek, Venus, and Daily Candy. She lives with her husband and her Corgi, Awesome-O, outside of New York, where she is currently working on a new nonfiction book while putting the "White Wine and Cupcakes" diet into daily practice.
- Must include treatment of words "Sarah Disgrace"
- Should also include tagline "Author. Writer. Cupcake Eater." (see blog for example)
- Open to color schemes and most fonts (see below for styles to avoid)
- Open to inclusion of an icon
- Would like something that can translate well to a black and white treatment as well as a color execution
- Avoid cartoony style font
- Avoid gothic style font
- Avoid futuristic style font
- Avoid historic style font

Headwall from Ranger Camp
Denali, also known as Mt. McKinley, is in central Alaska - 300 miles South of the Arctic Circle and 200 miles East of the Bearing Sea.
Denali offers some the the largest vertical gain of any mountain on Earth. With base camp at 7,200' and the summit at 20,320', this 13,120' of gain over twelve miles is larger than Cho Oyu (8,407) or even Everest (10,535).
After taking a bush plane to land on the Kahiltna Glacier, we began the climb using the West Buttress route. I made this climb in 2001 and 2007 without summiting both times.

Quick Take for Thursday, October 20, 2011
(Fast Affiliate Live + Same Day Ratings)
ABC's "Grey's" is Thursday's No. 1 Drama in Adults 18-49 for the 5th Straight Week And the Night's No. 1 TV Show Overall in Women 18-49 for the 4th Time in 5 Weeks
"Private Practice" Hits Best-Since-Premiere Numbers Across All Key Adult Demos
"Grey's Anatomy" (9:00-10:00 p.m.)
Nearly doubling its lead-in (+192%) opposite Fox's 2011 World Series Game 2, ABC self-starter "Grey's Anatomy" stood as Thursday's No. 1 drama in Adults 18-49 for the 5th week running this season. Leading its original non-sports competition in the 9 o'clock hour by wide margins, ABC's "Grey's" (3.5/9) beat out CBS' "Person of Interest" by 30% (2.7/7). In addition, the ABC drama dominated its time slot over the World Series across all key Women demos (W18-34/W18-49/W25-54). "Grey's" qualified as Thursday's No. 1 TV show overall with Women 18-49 for the 4th time in 5 weeks this season.
· Despite facing the World Series, "Grey's" was up 3% over its week-ago preliminary Adult 18-49 rating (3.4/9 in last week's the Fast Affiliate ratings). In addition, the ABC drama equaled a best-since-premiere number with Adults 25-54 (4.2/10).
"Private Practice" (10:00-11:00 p.m.)
Building its Adult 18-49 audience for the 2nd week in a row, ABC's "Private Practice" ran neck-and-neck with "The Mentalist" for the drama lead in the 10 o'clock hour (2.4/6 vs. 2.5/7). Beating "The Mentalist," "Private Practice" registered as the No. 1 drama in the hour for the 4th straight week with Adults 18-34 and among key Women demos (W18-34/W18-49).
· Up against the Fall Classic, "Private Practice" posted its strongest numbers since its season opener across all key Adult demos, growing week to week by 6% in Adults 18-34 (1.7/5 vs. 1.6/5), by 4% in Adults 18-49 (2.4/6 vs. 2.3/6) and by 4% in Adults 25-54 (2.9/7 vs. 2.8/7).
A note about increasing DVR penetration and year-to-year rating comparisons: Year-to-year rating comparisons based on the Live + Same Day data stream are distorted by the level of DVR penetration in the Nielsen sample, which has jumped up to 42% currently, from 38% at the same point in 2010. More viewers are watching shows on their own timetables, which may not be reflected in the overnight next day numbers. The only truly valid year-to-year comparison would be one based on the Live + 7 Day metric, once those stats are released by Nielsen.

The developer of this technique was Hugh B. Logan, DC, who first presented his new technique, called Universal Health – Basic Technique, in 1931. Within a few years, it was simply called Logan Basic Technique; "basic" because it deals with the sacrum or base of the spine.
Dr. Logan liked the structural approach to chiropractic and reasoned that since the spine rested on the sacrum, if the sacrum was subluxated or unleveled, it could further interfere with the stabilization of spinal subluxation(s). He believed sacral subluxation could be the precursor to developing other spinal subluxations.
Logan Basic looks at analyzing the spine and its biomechanics both in normalcy as well as in the pathobiomechanics of pelvic and spinal distortions due to sacral subluxations. The technique views that a sacral subluxation would cause not only spinal misalignments in the spine, but also abnormal muscle function affecting the spine. The neurological component of these effects would have profound ramifications in the functions of the body.
Let's learn more about Logan Basic and its applications to infants / children (and expectant mothers) in this interview with Dr. Patrick Montgomery, a second-generation chiropractor and instructor at Logan Chiropractic College.
Can you share with DCs who may have never seen or read about Logan Basic Technique (LBT) the benefits that infants and children may derive from this low-force technique? LBT is a gentle approach to conservative chiropractic care. A common subluxation that occurs in childbirth is sacral subluxation. Sometimes this occurs on both sides. A simple check for this subluxation is to squeeze the top of the buttocks together. If there is no subluxation, a line is formed that follows straight up the spine for about 1-2 inches. If there is a subluxation on one side, the top of the line deviates to that side.
In newborns, an apex contact for 15 to 45 seconds will clear this and upon recheck, the line will travel straight up the spine. If there is subluxation on both sides, three lines will form upon the squeeze check. One line goes straight up the spine, but not far. The other two lines will deviate to the sides, one on each side. An adjustment with an apex contact, first on one side for 15 to 45 seconds, followed by another on the other side, will clear this and upon recheck only one line will appear. This time the line will travel farther, straight up the spine.
If and when an infant or child becomes ill, the apex contact should be given for a longer time, up to 2 minutes. This has a profound effect on the immune system. It is theorized that the apex contact allows the body to slow down, so the parasympathetic system can take over. It is within the parasympathetic system that the immune system lies. Fevers lessen, bowels open if the infant / child is constipated, heart rate slows and BP returns to normal.
LBT can be used on these kids many times a day. In my office, sick children are adjusted a minimum of three times a day. Some LBT practitioners will adjust children once an hour with LBT to reduce and eliminate subluxations as they recur during illness. Children will recover much quicker. Colds, flu, measles, mumps, chickenpox and whooping cough all respond to LBT adjustments.
In your experience, how can LBT improve quality-of-life outcomes with the pediatric population? As mentioned, colic responds quickly. With repeated LBT adjustments, incidents of colic, as well as their severity, are reduced. In infants / children, another contact used for colic and other spasms of the digestive tract is called abdominal contacts. These are used while applying the apex contact. The doctor will feel the spasms just melt away. Many children (and adults with gastrointestinal problems) may have to use the restroom in the doctor's office even before they leave the office after the adjustment. Reflux responds in the same manner.
In the past few years, the Logan Chiropractic Clinic performed a study on pregnant women and labor outcomes. What were your observations / findings? We recently completed a 2 ½ year study on Logan Basic Technique and the Ease of Labor and Delivery. Forty-seven women completed the study. Some of the results included shortening of the total labor time, especially for first-time moms. Our results showed a 5.1-hour total labor time. We also noted a much lower episiotomy rate and a rock-bottom C-section rate.
During pregnancy, the piriformis contact given bilaterally helps to get rid of the lateral hip pain that so many pregnant women complain of, especially while trying to sleep on their sides. We had an over 90 percent rate of patients being very satisfied with their care and their outcomes. We also noted only two of the women in the study had early labors, both at 38 ½ weeks. Many women did not deliver until their 41st to 42nd week.
The fastest labor time in our study was one woman with her second child delivered in 15 minutes, with no tearing. Her child was 11 lbs, 15 oz. Another woman delivered her second child in 1 ½ hours and her child was 11 lbs, 4 oz, again with no tearing. One of the reasons of the small tearing rate and small episiotomy rate is the use of the perineal contact, which is used from the fifth month until delivery. This allows the perineal floor muscles to remain at their normal resting tension, rather than a slow buildup of tension, which may interfere with the ease of labor and delivery.
At the Logan Chiropractic Clinic, approximately what percentage of your student clinicians use LBT on infants / children and pregnant patients? Due to the success of chiropractic with pregnancy, and especially with Logan Basic Technique, we see many pregnant women in our clinics. Over 80 percent of our pregnant women receive LBT, some with a combination of both LBT and diversified. Most of the women who receive LBT do so starting at 20 weeks and continue until delivery. We work closely with midwives and OB/GYNs to ensure good prenatal care. Missouri recently passed a new midwifery law, which has been a boon for expectant mothers of this state.
You recently completed a chapter in the second edition of the Pediatric Chiropractic textbook. What are you hoping to teach the doctor and student regarding LBT? I hope to expose chiropractic students at other colleges, as well as practitioners, to the benefits of including Logan Basic Technique as an option for their infants, children and pregnant women. It is safe and effective chiropractic care.
Dr. Montgomery teaches a 50-hour certification course in Logan Basic Technique and Logan Basic Methods through the postgraduate department of Logan College. He also recently completed an adjusting manual and is working on a complete textbook with accompanying DVD. For more information, e-mail Dr. Montgomery at .

Staten Island, NY – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life and Dr. Alveda King, its Director of African American Outreach, today issued statements in favor of H.R. 3541, the Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (PRENDA). The measure, the subject of a House subcommittee hearing this afternoon on Capitol Hill, would outlaw any abortion performed because of the race or sex of a baby.
"We know from census figures that sex selection abortions do happen in the United States," said Fr. Pavone. "We also know because we minister to those who have had them. The abortion industry enables and facilitates discrimination against girls in the womb. The Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act is urgently needed to stop the blatant and barbaric killing of babies because of their sex."
"There's still a place in America where people can be killed because of their race and the perpetrators go free. It's the abortion clinic," added Dr. King. "The minority baby whose mother listens to an abortionist who masks his racism in false compassion can be denied his life and liberty simply because of his skin color. This outrageous racism should be illegal. When Congressman Franks' legislation is passed it will be."
In addition to criminal penalties for the abortionist who performs a sex or race selection abortion, H.R. 3541 would establish civil remedies for the mother, father, and maternal grandparents of the victimized unborn child. The bill would also make it illegal to solicit or accept money for the performance of such discriminatory procedures.
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Beware credit card euphoria (subscriber link)
Similar information here: http://creditcardfocus.info/using-a-credit-card-induces-euphoria-new-research-shows/
A new study in the Journal of Consumer Research shows that using a credit card induces euphoria.
Like a starry-eyed new lover who ignores the downsides of an obviously incompatible but very attractive partner, consumers who swipe plastic when they buy are often blinded to the true costs of their purchases. They even tend to exaggerate the perceived benefits of whatever they're buying, according to research by Promothesh Chatterjee of the University of Kansas and Randall L. Rose or University of South Carolina.
This research actually goes well beyond what we've known previously about the impact of credit card use on consumer behavior. The old information that consumers tend to spend 15%-30% more when paying with plastic was bad enough. It turns out that our actual perceptions of products is different when we're paying with a credit card. Sounds crazy, but here's the research.
Researchers primed subjects using traditional behavioral study methods, such as making them play words games which focused their attention either on credit cards or on cash. Then they gave the consumers information on items they could theoretically buy, such as a notebook computer or an iPhone. Repeatedly, consumers "primed" to think about credit cards had a harder time recalling products price or other downsides.
Our findings suggest that marketers may be affecting not just the amount of money consumers are willing to spend but also the nature of the goods and services that find their way into consumers market baskets, the report says.

text: Caramel, also known as Blonde, is a recessive trait. Although it is a darkened form of Albino, it is incompatible with the the other albino lines. It is also unique in that the hatchlings come out of the eggs bright white with blazing red eyes, and then darken as time goes by- making it the only ontogenetic color changing Retic mutation. We have recently found that temperature hastens this process, and have been able to provide customers with infomation that gives them fully darkened Caramels at just months old, rather than years. Still very rare in breeding collections, this gene has almost limitless potential for new, never before seen Retculated python combos that change color before your eyes.

Authorities Investigate Baby Death in Butterfield
BUTTERFIELD, Minn. (AP) - Watonwan County authorities say they're investigating the death of a newborn and that a 14-year-old girl has been hospitalized.
The sheriff's office said Sunday that it got a call at 5:45 p.m. Friday about an unresponsive newborn in the southern Minnesota city of Butterfield.
The Watonwan County medical examiner pronounced the girl dead at the scene. The body was taken to the Ramsey County medical examiner's office for an autopsy.
The 14-year-old girl was taken from the duplex apartment to a hospital in St. James, then transferred to a hospital in Mankato.
Chief Deputy Jeremy Nachreiner says investigators are still trying to determine if the girl is the mother and what happened at the home, but it's been complicated by a language barrier. He says her condition is not life-threatening.

What exactly do you mean by "forced it" ?
When the violence is a little too much, even considering the series we're talking about here
lol -4 karma? I thought this would be a cool community to talk about one of my favorite series with, not a bunch of touchy spergs. Peace out.
So if none are outdoing the eclipse (which is the most traumatizing event out of them all for Guts) then for me it's not too much.
You made so little effort to create this thread, that it required someone to ask its meaning in the first reply, and you complain about people not wanting to talk to you? I'm pretty sure that you'd be upvoted if you posted some real examples, and actually tried to make a point.
It's not about internet points.
... Seems like it was. Anyhow, glad you're wanting to take a second chance. Just voice what you want to say as long as it's respectful
Just the idea that all that horrific, unimaginable pain and suffering that went into incarnating this angelic figure is such a trip.
It's not about internet points. I just take issue with the fact people downvote over a completely innocuous question with slang in the thread title.
Berserk torture rooms are always fun to read through. Volume 18, p. 171, a nice shot of a boob being pulled apart by the breast ripper, and then some poor individual who had the Pear of Anguish inserted inside them http://imgur.com/swApkXR No thank you!

One of the central tenets of the Google Mothership's model is "free." Everything's free! Free, free, free. Except, um, when it gets too popular? Starting January 1st of next year, developers will be charged when their apps access the Google Maps API more than 25,000 times in a day.
The rumored rate is $4 (£2.50)/1,000 over 25k, but it's notable that this is happening at all. Having to charge anyone, even the estimated 0.35 percent of users Google estimates, according to BBC, is an admission that its model for Maps is flawed, or at the very least doesn't have efficiency in scale. And for a service as popular as Google Maps, that might end up causing some bigger problems down the road. [BBC via BGR]

"There's something about Miley Cyrus that elicits a strong reaction in people..."
There's something about Miley Cyrus that elicits a strong reaction in people. Even in the days before her radical haircut and experimentation with salvia, something about Miley made people cry "slut." So much so that an artistic Annie Leibovitz photo taken for the cover of Vanity Fair in 2008 scandalized everyone from Disney on down. While a 15-year-old Cyrus understood that the topless photo "wasn't in a skanky way," parents were crying for Hannah Montana's cancelation. Now, five years later, Cyrus appears braless on a magazine cover once again, and, while popular opinion of the star has shifted slightly, the slut-shaming continues to rival the proclamations of love.
At 20 years of age, Cyrus has reached a level of comfort in her own skin that far older women still strive to achieve. And, as evidenced by her 2010 album Can't Be Tamed, this is no recent development. After years of wearing revealing outfits and engaging in risqué behavior, Miley has successfully bucked her squeaky clean alter ego Hannah Montana and emerged as her own person — and a strong, opinionated,
But despite the eyebrows that were raised in reaction to Cyrus' more questionable extracurricular activities, critiques of the young star have been focused on her sexuality. Cyrus, it has been decided, is a pouting, smoldering look-giving, cleavage-baring, ho bag — and she has been ever since she developed her womanly figure. Even though Cyrus rarely spoke about her relationships and hardly gallivanted about with a new boy every week, she somehow earned a reputation as a girl who got around. And it stuck.
Cyrus has now been monogamous for four years and is happily engaged to Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth. In her interview with Cosmo for the magazine's March issue, Cyrus goes as far as to say, "Number one [in my life] is my relationship with Liam," and refers to him as her "hubby" (even though rumors of a secret marriage were quickly squashed). Cyrus is about as far from single and ready to mingle as you can get, and yet the cries of "slut"
On the other end of the spectrum is another Disney darling — the virgin to Cyrus' whore —Selena Gomez. Gomez's wardrobe on the red carpet and on stage rivals Cyrus' in skin exposure and yet not an eye is blinked. When Gomez wore a crop top and short skirt to the 2012 Kids' Choice Awards, fans called her "cute." But when Cyrus wore a similar style to the Hunger Games premiere, people were appalled. It seems Gomez can be as overtly sexual as she wishes — for further proof, look to the rather wet ad campaign she shot for her
The difference between Cyrus and Gomez, I've decided, is the way in which they carry themselves. While Gomez punctuates her flirtations with a coquettish question mark, Cyrus isn't afraid to make declarative statements. Gomez is coy, while Cyrus is confident. And at the heart of it, Cyrus is a women who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to tell us. She is a woman in control of her body and life and that is terrifying to people. So the seventh grade name-calling persists. But Miley Cyrus is absolutely, definitively, not a slut — she's just being Miley. Can you handle that?
