Sui He
The first Asian face of Shiseido and the first to open for Ralph Lauren, campaigns for H&M and Printemps have cemented her status.
The first Asian face of Shiseido and the first to open for Ralph Lauren, campaigns for H&M and Printemps have cemented her status.
With razor-sharp cheekbones and a fresh-faced beauty, Chinese model Sui He is one of a handful of East Asian models that have risen to gain global recognition on and off the runways, thanks to a number of high-profile editorials, campaigns, and cosmetics contracts. Born in the mild coastal city of Wenzhou – or 'pleasant city', for its mild climate and prosperous people – just a few hours south of Shanghai, Sui He was part of her high school swim team and class president. At age 17, she entered and won a national modeling competition, which enabled her to model locally. She never imagined that modeling would amount to anything more than a part-time job.
She was wrong. In 2010, she signed to New York Model Management and posed in an advertising campaign for cashmere king Brunello Cucinelli. Her breakthrough moment came in New York in early 2011, when she opened the Ralph Lauren runway show for Autumn/Winter 2011 – the first Asian model ever to do so. Soon after, she was featured in the brand's advertising campaigns and also rapidly appeared in editorials for top fashion magazines like Numéro, V, and W magazines, photographed by such celebrated photographers as Inez and Vinoodh and Terry Richardson.
Her favourite stylist is Carine Roitfeld, and she is the first relative newcomer to be on the cover of W magazine in recent memory. On the runway, she is praised for her professionalism and mile-long legs, and has walked exclusively for Dries van Noten and Schiatzy Chen in Paris, as well as opening and closing for Vivienne Tam in New York.
As part of a second wave of East Asian models to appear and work for Western brands, Sui He has set some formidable milestones. Besides being the first Asian model to open for Ralph Lauren's runway shows, she was the second ever to walk in the annual and much-publicized Victoria's Secret runway show, after Liu Wen. She has a lucrative contract with cosmetics giant Shisheido – she is also the first Asian model to do this – and is now a fixture in Vogue China, which she first covered in 2011.
Outside of modeling, her hobbies include reading and traveling. Although she has told Vogue Italia that "The most important thing for me is to do well now, to not think too much about the future," she also plans to start her own business when she retires from modeling, most likely a restaurant. When not working, Sui He lives in Beijing with her boyfriend.

How many Disney theme park-inspired movies do we really need?
Written by Robert Niles
Hat tip to reader duncan henny for this heads-up: Disney reportedly is in early development for a movie based on its Magic Kingdom theme park.Tweet
This, in addition to the upcoming fourth Pirates of the Caribbean flick, as well as Guillermo del Toro's reboot of The Haunted Mansion and movies based on Jungle Cruise and Tomorrowland. (Disney Studios favorite Dwayne Johnson is attached to the Tomorrowland flick.)
When I first heard of the Magic Kingdom film project, I thought that Disney would be developing a movie series based on Ridley Pearson's Kingdom Keepers book series. But apparently not. According to Variety, the Magic Kingdom film project is based on a script by Ronald D. Moore, who developed the new version of Battlestar Galactica.
Like millions of others, I love what Disney did with Pirates. It didn't base the film on the attraction so much as use the characters, setting and theme of the ride to inspire a story that took the franchise in a different - and engaging - direction. Movies (or books) about the Magic Kingdom - or any other theme park for that matter - strike me as story-telling about story-telling. That's too meta for me to enjoy as entertainment, though I can't enough news coverage about theme parks (obviously!).
What would you like to see Disney do with these film concepts?
Readers' Opinions
From Formula 40 on September 30, 2010 at 3:07 PM
If it's a really good movie and not just following the same story as the attractions, it really doesn't matter how many ride-based movies they make.
From Jorge Arnoldson on September 30, 2010 at 3:41 PM
This might not be a good idea. Maybe they should put in a joke about an "underground city".
P.S.: I was also thinking about Kingdom Keepers when I read the title! :)
From Anthony Murphy on September 30, 2010 at 4:11 PM
Epic Mickey takes place at the Magic Kingdom (from what I have seen).
Kingdom Keepers would not be bad!
On a totally unrelated thought, I believe Disney owns Percy Jackson (at least the publishing rights). Suprised they didn't make that movie or a ride/attraction involving that.
From E Edwards on September 30, 2010 at 4:39 PM
Wait, wait: aren't the "Saw" movies based on WDI? Now THAT'S meta, baby!
From Joshua Counsil on September 30, 2010 at 7:17 PM
What would you like to see Disney do with these film concepts?
How about scrap 'em? I was excited about Haunted Mansion only because del Toro was involved. I haven't even heard of these other adaptations.
It's pretty ludicrous. Movies are adapted from books because there are sufficient details in the book to warrant creating a movie. Basing a movie on a five-minute theme park attraction is over-the-top. Disney really needs new ideas.
From Thomas Crain on October 1, 2010 at 7:01 AM
All this and still no Everest movie? Garbage...
From Rob P on October 1, 2010 at 10:15 AM
What a rubbish idea !
From 22.214.171.124 on October 1, 2010 at 11:10 AM
i personally think that if Disney is going 2 do anything new, they should remake some of the old Disney movies that starred a young Kurt Russell....I grew up on COMPUTER WORE TENNIS SHOES, etcetra.....i know Kirk Cameron did a TV remake years ago, but it didnt hold a candle.....2 bad Caesar Romero is gone, he made a great villain!
From M. Ryan Traylor on October 1, 2010 at 11:28 AM
maybe we need a TPI based movie?
From 184.108.40.206 on October 1, 2010 at 11:42 AM
Lots of Disney attractions are inspired by moves, why not movies by inspired by disney attractions. after all, aren't the parks and attractions just ways of promoting movies anyway?

From 220.127.116.11 on October 1, 2010 at 7:24 PM
To much meta? Or maybe just meta you know? The Magic Kingdom is already a copy of a copy of a copy.... Dont care about another layer (or about how many copy layers there are i got no idear about). All sucesfull massapeal stories are copies these days. AS long as the copies are mixed enough thats fine. Heck, if they just copy a story i like 1:1 and do a film with modern technology, im fine with that aswell. However my expectation is they will rather build some cross marketing franchise which isnt really the same as a good copy and typically rather anoying.

Single node fails causing the entire cluster to be unstable?
I'm testing failover with Membase 1.6.5 in a 3 node cluster without replication.
As expected, shutting down a single membase node causes a 1/3 of the cache to be lost and the client application to begin logging 'set fail' events.
But, it seems the entire cache might be unstable in this state. When the node is down there is a 10x increase in sets/sec on the remaining nodes, but no increase item count.
Anyone seen this type of behavior before or know if a single node failing will cause the cluster to be unstable until the node is failed over and rebalanced. I had expected the other nodes to be unaffected when one node was shut down.
Hey John, first off I would highly recommend going with the latest version (1.7) just released last week. The overall behavior of the system will be much better and much more stable.
In general, a node going down shouldn't have a meaningful impact on the rest of the cluster. I say meaningful, because there is obviously something else going on but I wouldn't expect it to impact your application side performance.
Depending on how you've deployed this, I suspect that Moxi is attempting to retry certain requests that were destined for the downed node. You'd see an increase in sets, but those sets are basically invalid and so that explains why you don't see the item count increase.
Does that make sense?
Thanks for the quick response Perry.
It makes sense that a failed node could cause an increase in set reties.
But, I'm using the "/opt/membase/bin/ep_engine/management/stats all" command to gets these stats.
This is a server side stat, correct? Does this mean the Moxi will retry failed sets on the remaining servers that are up?
Also, when upgrading from 126.96.36.199 to 1.7 does this require upgrading enyim client? Currently enyim is on version 2.8.7. in our environment.
You are correct that this is a server-side statistic (assuming you're running it against port 11210). Yes, Moxi will retry those operations on the remaining servers that are up.
I was unaware that you were using Enyim however. Assuming you're using the Membase configuration section, your traffic will actually NOT be going through Moxi. I'd have to do some more digging, it's quite likely that Enyim is doing the same thing though and so would produce the same behavior.
No, you shouldn't have to upgrade Enyim but I would highly recommend it.
OK. Thanks.
Also, because I want to see how each node is performing, I'm running against port 11211 and calling the stats command for each node.
You'll want to use port 11210 as 11211 goes through a Moxi process and will provide an aggregated list of statistics from the whole cluster.
My mistake, I was using Port 11210.

TEAMS: Washington Nationals, Chicago White Sox
Jordan Zimmermann smiled one time during an April 2012 postgame interview. He also may have cracked a smile in a 2013 interview after a Spring Training start. In a stunning development, Jordan Zimmermann smiled and appered to have told a joke during his postgame meet and greet with the media on Wednesday night, following his 7 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 4 K, 90 pitch performance against the White Sox. Here's Zimmermann talking about the delayed start to the game (umps got stuck in DC traffic): Zimmermann: "I had plenty enough time. They let me know pretty early, and they just said that, gonna be a little delayed, be prepared to sit around a little bit." Reporter: "So what did you do to..." Zimmermann: "Sat around, yeah." [Big smile, seen above. That's a joke, people!] Nationals 5, White Sox 2: File under: When Jordan Zimmermann smiles, the world smiles along with him. Plenty of run support; Bryce Harper hit one up into Adam Dunn territory. ...

It's time for a Mom Confession -- because, let's face it, we're real mothers and sometimes it doesn't work the way the parenting books say it should.
This Week's Confession:
I let my toddlers play in the yard alone or without adult supervision.
I live in a quiet neighborhood with mostly elderly neighbors and our yard is fenced in, so I let my 3 1/2 year old play outside with our two dogs who bark at everybody that comes near our house. -- anonymous
My kids have played in gated yards alone since they were 4, with the siding glass wide open so I can see and hear them. -- anonymous
Pretty much every day -- they are 3, 5, and 8. Front yard. Back yard. For the most part they are in the street either on bikes are playing with chalk. They are free to come and go from the house as they please. I prefer the 3 year old to be out there with someone, but there are occasions when he might go blow bubbles all by himself. -- anonymous.
Question: Should toddlers be allowed to play outside alone?
Yes, totally free range.
Yes, but in a fenced-in yard only.
Yes, but only with older brothers or sisters to look out for them.
No, never ever -- I'll explain why below.

Past Confessions:
I Turn My Kids Over to A Mom I Just Met
My Toddler Wears Crude T-Shirts
I Let My Toddlers Climb Play Equipment Unassisted
My Kids Go to Sleep After Midnight
I Let My Toddlers Go Naked in Public
I Paid $22 for My Son's Haircut
My Toddlers Eat Pizza for Breakfast
I Leave My Toddler Alone in the Bath
Our Children Aren't Invited to Our Wedding
I'm on Vacation, But My Kid Is Still Going to Day Care
I Let My Toddler Eat Food Before Paying for It
i let me two girls play outside in my backyard (as long as its warm) we keep any serious danger out of the back yard so that they can play. It gives them time to be outside with fresh air! It also gives me time to get things done on the inside of the house, i keep the windows open and the backdoor crack so my youngest can get back in if she wants. I dont see anything wrong with allowing your kids to be in a fenced yard by themselves. my oldest is 4 and youngest is 2 and they have a great time outside!
I agree with Butterfly872. And would also like to add, that I have full custody of my son, and my ex is....'unpredicatible' so that is another reason. I also have a 'friend' who let her 18 month old son out by himself, he made it 1.5 blocks away (across an alley and a fairly well traveled road) to a playground before she found him. (oh and to get there, he had to walk through the yard of a child molester (I couldn't even make this stuff up!) Not worth it to me!
I let my three year old play in the front yard, but he is not unsupervised. If I'm not out there with him, I am in the kitchen, which has a wall full of windows that look directly out into his play area. I only let him out because I KNOW that he is well aware of the rules for being outside, and he knows beyond a shadow of a doubt where he is and is not allowed to go, and what he is and is not allowed to do. I trust him, plus I only let him go out when I'm in the kitchen and able to watch him. I should add that we live in an extremely rural area and have a large, private piece of land.
I couldn't really vote. My fenced BACKYARD, perhaps, but not for very long. You know, I'd go out with her but if I had to pee or grab a drink from the kitchen, I'd leave her alone for that long, but not much longer. There are too many crazy people out there for me to be that trusting.
Well I let my son play outside by himself. But let me explain, first off, I am way more cautious then I have ever been. When I did home daycare I let the kids play outside all the time alone, we lived up a mile of dirt road with our nearest neighbors (besides my grandparents) about a mile away. The town which was 10 miles away was a population of 500. So there was near as much danger as for you that live in the city. Yes I considered my dog protection but that is because he wasn't going to let any bobcats, coyotes or cougars get close to our house. I also considered my horses some protection because after all they saved my life a couple times when I was little. However these kids were always in a fenced yard. With my son, we have neighbors closer and there is a highway at the end of our driveway (about 1/4 mile) there are too many people around for me to feel safe and we no longer have a big dog or horses. Mostly he is allowed to play in his sandbox, which is next to the front door and we keep an eye him even then. We also still live in an area with cougars, coyotes, bobcats and even bear. We have a bobcat that gets up our tree in the front yard sometimes, so my son isn't left alone without us watching him ever up here.
My kiddo has been allowed to play in our BACKYARD alone since he was 2. It's completely fenced in, and even closes off from the front yard, which is also fenced in. I used to only let him while I did dishes (the screen door to the backyard is in the kitchen, and I can see him out the window).
Now that he's 5, I've been more lenient. As long as he TELLS me he's going outside, he can go out. Then I shut the screen so the cat can't get out, and make sure I can hear him. If he's quiet, I always go check on him.
Hmm. Upon reading more answers, I think everyone's yard is going to make a big difference. I have a one story house, and a 6' wooden fence all the way around my backyard... and on the other side of the fence is other neighbors - not an alley or anything. Our house is long and takes up the majority of the lot, width-wise. There's really very little access visually from the front of our house or the street to the backyard, and we're also in a tiny little somewhat rural neighborhood. The only thing I'VE ever been worried about with my kiddo in the backyard is neighborhood dogs, but if the front yard gates AND backyard gates are closed, they can't get into my backyard either.
I never leave my child unattended. We have rattle snakes and scorpions and such out here, I could never forgive myself if he were bitten.
I haven't yet, but this summer I probably will. My daughter is three. We live on a military base. Our backyard is VERY small (more like a patio) and completely fenced with a six foot wooden fence. It is longer and narrow, and we can see the entire yard from two sliding glass doors and a big window.
I will probably let her play out there while I do the dishes, run into the bathroom, get a drink, etc. I wouldn't leave her out very long, but I have no real fear of her being kidnapped from our yard.
NO NO NO NO NO! I am totally against it! My husband on the other hand would probably let them all walk to Califonia alone. Last weekend he let them all out alone and told the 9 and 7 year old watch the 3 (almost 4) year old. Obviously I wasn't home. His argument is that the yard is fenced in. Well the three year old fell somewhere. No one knows where cause no one was watching her. She ended up needing to go to the E.R. She cut her leg pretty bad. She didn't need stitches, but did have to get some work done on it. (way to gross for me to explain, but it was bad) While I was on the phone to my dad (he was an EMT) DH slapped a band aid on her and let her go right back out alone! WTH! I'm still yelling at him about it a week later! But he learned his lesson and now goes out with them.

Once upon a time there was a traveler crouching in pain by the roadside. A man who was walking by sat next to the traveler before he could ask for help. The man lectured the traveler at length about having a healthy lifestyle in order to avoid sickness. Satisfied with his speech the man stood up and left. His name is the United Mankind. Next, a very beautiful woman approached the traveler with an inquisitive look on her face. The traveler said, "Well, don't just stand there, help me." The woman replied, "Do you want me to help you?" She then discussed at length the situation with the traveler until she fully understood the problem. And then she nodded and left. Shortly after, the woman brought all the doctors, nurses, and staff of the closest hospitals with her. Her name is the Humankind Empire Abh.
— A political allegory from the planet of MidgratCrest of the Stars (aka Seikai no Monshou) is a novel written by Hiroyuki Morioka as a prologue to his Banner of the Stars series. It was later adapted into a twelve episode anime in 1999. Anime adaptions of his Banner of the Stars novels have followed and a prologue to Crest of the Stars was produced titled Lost Chapter of the Stars.Crest of the Stars follows the story of Jinto and Lafiel as they get themselves involved in a war between the Abh and the United Humankind. Jinto Lin is a young boy living on the planet Martine when one day his planet is visited by a massive fleet of the Humankind Empire Abh. The Abh announce that they are annexing the system and demand the planet's immediate and unconditional surrender. After anxious deliberation Martine's president Rock Lin, Jinto's father, surrenders the planet without firing a shot. In exchange for their surrender Rock Lin is accepted into Abh society as a noble and his son is sent off to an Abh integration academy to learn the ways of the Abh.Flash forward: Jinto has completed his initial education and is on his way to the Abh capital to begin his military training and an obligatory 10 years' service in the Abh navy. He will also meet his first Abh. That Abh is the Princess Lafiel, granddaughter of the Abh empress, who is herself in training and serving her military obligation as an Abh noble. They set off together on what is supposed to be an event-less courier mission to take Jinto to a military academy at the capitol. But then the brown stuff hits the fan and things begin going very bad very fast.Crest of the Stars and its sequels, Banner of the Stars, Banner of the Stars II and Banner of the Stars III, focus on the developing relationship between Jinto and Lafiel against the backdrop of an interstellar war between the Abh and the allied powers of the United Mankind. Lost Chapter of the stars however, is a prologue to Crest of the Stars and deals with the relationship between Lafiel's parents.One of the most interesting conceits of the franchise is that, in basically any other kind of space opera, the imperialistic, militaristic Abh would be the unquestionable villains; and, indeed, at times when the bigger picture is put on prominent display it can be a bit uncomfortable to realize just what Jinto and Lafiel are a part of. In the latter Banner series, even the residents of Jinto's home planet want to know just why the hell he's loyal to the all-conquering Abh at all. A large part of the point of the show is a refusal to fall into easy stereotypes, however, and no side of the great conflict is black-and-white pantomime evil.The franchise is known for its deep characterization, colorful characters, and ability to go into long conversations over very trivial matters without seeming bland (in the second series, two characters get into a surprisingly interesting conversion over wine). There is some action, but if that's the only reason you're watching this you'll be bored to tears. Overall it's quite an entertaining and memorable series, as long as you don't mind long stretches of talking heads.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- One of the amazing trends we've noticed over 21 years of reporting on people who volunteer for Big Brothers Big Sisters is the effort is ageless.
From 20-year-olds, to those in their 70s, folks in Kentuckiana are finding time to give back. And we'd have to say one woman in St. Matthews really lucked out with her match.
This team is big sister, 73-year-old Lucretia Beatty, and her little sister of two years, 10-year-old Zarreya Hines.
Their mission: a batch of sugar cookies for themselves and the staff down here at WHAS.
At 73, Lucretia is one of 60 active big sisters over the age of 55 according to the organization.
Zarreya is a bright student from Sanders Elementary School.
Lucretia has urged Zarreya to get active and she picks her up each Saturday. They love to explore in the car and different areas.
Lucretia is a straight shooter and believes that's the success to their match.
And what a character Zarreya is. We had to sample the results of their team effort.
And don't forget, this is the holiday season. If you have any tickets to sporting events, plays or basketball games that you can't use you may consider donating them to Big Brothers Big Sisters. They'll get them into good hands and what a gift!
If you want to help a young person become a great adult, call right now.
They are in the office, at this hour, by the phones right now to get you started. You will talk to a real person!

Chamaedorea tepejilote
Chamaedorea tepejilote "Solitary Bamboo Palm" Natural Habitat: Naturally found widespread throughout the rainforest in Mexico, Central America, and Northwestern Columbia Description: A highly variable palm, due to its large habitat range. It can be found as either a solitary or clumping palm. The leaves can also be variable in size, shape, and number. The palm has an overall slender appearance reaching heights anywhere between 10-20 feet tall on a light green trunk that is 3 inches in diameter. The trunk is a glossy dark green color with skinny white rings left by the oldest falling leaves, giving it a bamboo like appearance. The crownshaft is dark to light green, depending on the stage of life the oldest outer leaf is in. The crownshaft emerges 7-10 arching 5-6 foot leaves with dark green cigar shaped leaflets. Most specimens are found to be solitary, causing cultivars to plant a few palms together, to form a nice sized clump. This palm can fair well as a indoor/outdoor potted palm. Environment: The tepejilote enjoys a heavily shaded and moist area where it can avoid any direct sunlight throughout the day. It is not very cold hardy and should be protected during any rough winter nights. Zones 10-11. As a potted palm it should be kept by a warm window or shady porch area.

That feel when you haven't blogged cause you've been training your balls off…
WOW! I haven't written anything on here in a looong ass time.
A quick update:
- Tried to hybridize (read: bastardize) Wendler and Westside - didn't work.
- Competed in my first meet:
- Qualified for Western and National Championships.
- Started a Raw Westside Template from Juggernaut Training Systems, did not dig it.
- Switched back to Wendler 3 1/2 weeks out from Westerns, decided to put on some more weight and just say "fuck it" to weight-classes…
- Now feeling like I could break headfirst through a wall.
Competing this weekend in Westerns, and so far have hit all my 92.5% attempts - a 270 bench (in the video below) and my 530 deadlift (easy peasy). 430 squat tomorrow, then a massage and haircut (pre-meet ritual). Wish me luck! I'll try to keep this a bit more updated for all of you who care. (both of you)
Here's some cheesy training footage.

An 18 Year Old is a Legal Adult in Most of the United States
In many parts of the world, and most of the United States, when your child turns 18, they will become a legal adult, which means that they will now have rights and privileges that they did not have before. It is important to understand what both you and your 18 year old child are now responsible for, when they become 18.
In the United States, individual states create most of the laws pertaining to age of majority. This is when a child becomes an adult in the eyes of the legal system. Once a person becomes a legal adult, they are no longer considered a minor (even if you think they should be).
Once a child has crossed the legal threshold into adulthood, they are responsible for control over themselves, their actions and decisions. They are no longer under the legal control of their parents or guardians. This is based on chronological age, not necessarily whether they are actually a physically, mentally or emotionally mature adult.
What are Some of the Legal Consequences of Turning 18?
While your 18 year old may still seem like a child to you, their actions after they turn 18 will have the legal consequences of an adult. Here are some of the legal issues that affect most 18 year olds:
- Driving: Many states have laws restricting drivers under the age of 18 from driving 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. These restrictions are removed at age 18.
- Jury Duty, and Voting: Since an 18 year old is now a legal adult, they can be called for jury duty, and have the right to vote.
- Taxes: Just like the rest of us, 18 year olds are required to turn in their taxes on time.
- Ownership: An 18 year old can't rent a car, you need to be 21 for that, but he can buy one. He can also buy and sell real estate and stock, inherit property, enter into binding contracts, and get sued.
- Jail: Criminal justice systems can no longer turn a blind eye toward pranks and misadventures that they did when your child was a minor. 18 year olds can go to jail.
- Statutory Rape: Statutory rape laws are very different from state to state. You should make sure that your 18 year old is aware of the laws in their state, because dating their high school girlfriend may now be against the law.
When Your Child Turns 18, You No Longer Have Rights to Their Information
Tough Decisions Need to Be Made
In order to help care for your 18 year old child, you can have them give you a power of attorney over their care, or parts of their care. However, the question remains whether you want to allow your child to become a mature, responsible adult with your guidance, or not. You know your child best, and must make tough decisions based on their maturity, and capabilities as to whether they are ready to become completely responsible for themselves.
In most cases, it is better to have your child learn to consult you for advice on how to handle their new responsibilities like credit card bills, medical visits, and college decisions. The hardest thing for some parents is letting go of the control, and allowing their children to become separate adults.
Being Prepared and Letting Go
Overnight, you have turned from a parent and legal guardian to a parent advisor. This is something that no one can prepare for completely, but can be planned for.
With some foresight, and research into the legal issues in your part of the world, you and your adult child can work together to finish the growing up process, and help your 18 year old child become the adult that they were meant to be.

"When I was a kid we hayed most of the fields up and down this road," said Marjorie Southard.The North Clarendon resident says she is the fourth generation in her family to farm the local hills. She says she always appreciates new jobs in the rural community, but doesn't support a new business looking to come to town."We're opposed to it. I'm opposed to it. I think it doesn't fit the nature of this community and it doesn't fit the homes and the people that live here -- and we all have lived here for quite a while," she said.That new business is Farmer Mold and Machine Works, a company that specializes in making machines that make batteries. The Florida-based company is looking at buying a North Clarendon warehouse to turn into a manufacturing facility."An advantage for the community is that we're bringing 20-24 high paying jobs to the Rutland area -- for us that's a big plus," said the company's Jim Gilmour.And for the town, many say they too welcome the added jobs. Select Board Chair Mike Klopchin says the well-paying jobs will be a big bonus for the area. But the select board did not immediately support the location. "The only caveat is that we want the businesses located in the properly zoned districts and I'm not so sure that this fits the bill as our zoning is concerned," Klopchin said.The location is currently zoned for residential and commercial. The company has applied for a conditional use permit that would give them the green light. Although there is an industrial park up the road at the airport, Gilmour says their current plan makes sense. "This particular location is great because the facility exists. It's a nice size building, it's a good shell for us to move into and use existing infrastructure," he said.But Marjorie Southard says she will fight to keep the business out. "We hope to keep it that way. Keep it beautiful, keep it Vermont, and keep out industrial. There are places for industrial -- we are not against industrial -- we are just against industrial where it doesn't belong," she said.Klopchin says the Rutland Economic Development Corporation asked the board to sign a letter in support of the business, but they wouldn't sign it. They say they didn't want to influence a decision that is now up to the zoning board.
Two other gubernatorial candidates shared the gazebo with Scott Milne and Gov. Peter Shumlin for Saturday's debate.

nerve damage - usually to the dorsal vagal nerve (more rumen) and ventral vagal nerve (more forestomachs)
bowel (intestinal) obstruction
- can cause an increase in chloride in the rumen because it backs up into the rumen
breaks down pectin - which is a substance that cements cellulose together along with hemicellulose and lignin
breaks down hemicellulose - which is a substance that cements cellulose together along with pectin and lignin
breaks down nitrogen into ammonia
conversion of starch into sugar (amylase)
Breaks down proteins --> peptides ---> amino acids (proteinase/proteases : same thing)
enzymes that breaks down cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin
ionic strength
measure of teh concentration of ions int he solution (osmolality)
usually associated with SARA
- low pH leads to a shift in the proportions of the VFAs in the rumen
- increased butyrate and propionate; decreased acetate
- butyric acid and propionic acid induces epithelium proliferation - when exaggerated, this leads to parakeratosis = excessively keratinized epithelium that clump together
Streptococcus bovis
amylolytic bacteria
in low pH, this will proliferate and produce large amounts of glucose ---> this will reduce the capacity of lactate using bacteria to turn lactic acid to propionate + acetate+ CO2
Megashpaera elsdenii and Selenomonas ruminantrium
lactate using bacteria
- defined as fluffy or woolly
- this appearance is usually caused by Fungi
also known as: thrombophlebitis
- inflammation of the VEIN
inflammation of the omasum
inflammation of the trachea
inflammation of the lungs
inflammation of the rumen
inflammation of the abomasum
inflammation of the reticulum
- bleeding to death
- is the fatal process of total hypovolemia (blood loss)
area of tissue death; ischemia
inflammation of blood vessels
Different from Phlebitis: inflammation of the vein
Flora vs. Fauna
animal life vs. plant (microogranism) life
A sign or symptom that is so characteristic of a disease that it makes the diagnosis
Ruminal atony
ruminal stasis
a negative aftereffect
narrowing or constriction of the diameter or a bodily passage
Septate Hyphae
Septate: having cross-walls; examples are Aspergillus spp.
Hyphae: threadlike filament
Mycelium: mass of branching filaments (hyphae) that makes up vegetative growth of fungus
These are characteristic of mold - multicellular filamentous form of fungus; consists of masses of hyphae that grow together into a mycelium; examples are Aspergillus spp. and zygomycetes
Aspergillus spp. is found in the rumen normally. I think...
Vegetative growth
- is a form of asexual reproduction in plants. It is a process by which new individuals arise without production of seeds or spores.
Fungi way of proliferating
- asexual spores produced by mitosis
- naked spores born on hyphae and produced by fungi such as
Aspergillus and Penicillium spp.
- is a lipid-soluble molecule usually synthesized by microorganisms to transport ions across the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane.
- required for the proper functioning and survival of microorganisms
- In laboratory research, ionophores are used to increase the permeability of biological membranes to certain ions. Additionally, some ionophores are used as antibiotics and/or as growth enhancing feed additives for certain feed animals such as cattle (see monensin).
pH of chronic acidosis
- from 5 minute consult
- leads to decrease in production inefficiencies and illnesses
pH of acute acidosis
- usually can lead to death
Time when dairy cows are most susceptible to acidosis
- first month post calving
- this is because the diet contains more readily fermentable carbohydrates than they can utilize during this dry period
- also note that cows are also unable to handle large amounts of acid during early lactation
Cereal grains
are considered the most important source of readily fermentable carbohydrates in animals with acute or chronic acidosis
- Cereal grain = concentrate
- wheat is more fermentable than corn, therefore cows fed wheat are more susceptible to acidosis compared to corn
Backgrounding programs/feed
- main goal: ensure that calves are healthy and are eating from the bunk
Stocker programs/feed
- main goal: utilize available forages for inexpensive growth of calves after weaning
Lactobacillus spp.
lactate producing bacteria
will survive in low pH even after lactate producing and amylolytic bacteria due - continuously produces lactic acid from concentrates (starch metabolism)
Growing programs/feed
- main goal: provide sufficient nutrients to the animal for maximal protein and skeletal growth rates while allowing minimal fat deposition
Finishing programs
- main goal: achieve maximal rates of gain and predetermined target degree of fatness
Fuscobacterium necrophorum
- gram negative
-common inhabitant of normal intestine and rumen
- uses lactate as sugar substrate - lactate using bacteria (?)
- damaged rumen epithelium allows bacteria to enter the blood - causes abscesses in the liver
tissue damage, especially in liver, caused by infection by
Fusobacterium necrophorum.
Manifested usually as areas of necrosis, occasionally as cellulitis or phlegmon. The pus has a characteristic rotting odor.
Founders Distance
the vertical distance from the coronary band (seen with a radiopaque marker) to the dorso-proximal aspect of P3 (aka the claw bone)
Matrix Metalloproteinases
degrade cellular matrix material - perhaps degrade epithelium in laminae (?)
believed to be a theory behind laminitis
Primary Ruminal Tympany
- aka Frothy bloat
- persistent foam mixed with ruminal contents - gases of fermentation are trapped in a stable foam
- caused by certain legumes (high moisture foods) and grain concentrates - both of theses foods are easily digestible
Pathophysiology of Primary Ruminal Tympany
1. VFA from these legumes causes a lower pH - which is optimal for bloat formation due to decreased ruminal contractions (?)
2. prevents eructation and causes gas to build up
3. foam +rumen contents = blocks cardia
4. also Decreased chewing leads to decrease saliva production--->decrease bicarbonate and increases acid in rumen ---> decrease in salivary mucin (which is an antifoaming agent)
salivary mucin
antifoaming agent that is produced in cow saliva
Do cow's saliva contain amylase?
Dogs and cats do though.
bloat line
-seen in post mortem of primary ruminal tympany cows
- a sharp line between the top part of the esophagus (pale, bloodless) and the end part of the esophagus (congested)
Secondary Ruminal Tympany
- physical obstruction of eructation - form of free gas separate from ingesta
1. foreign body
2. pressure on esophagus
3. interference of nerve pathways in esophagus and rumen (decreases rumen motility)
4. rumen lesions - destroy stretch receptors needed for rumination
5. hypocalcemia - need calcium for muscles to work
6. ruminal atony - lack of muscle tone
hair balls - can act as a foreign body lodge in the rumen
plant balls - excess of indigestible roughage
- produced by many strains of Aspergillus (mold)
- found in feed and milk
-immune suppression leading to secondary infection (like salmonellosis)
- liver damage
- decreased milk and egg yield in females
Clinical signs:
- Gi dysfunction, reduced production, anemia, jaundice
Polioencephalomalacia (PEM)
due to thiamine deficiency (Vitamin B1)
1. Microbes create thiamine for the body
2. but low pH of rumen causes the death of these microbes and proliferation of lactate producing bacteria (lactobacillus) and produce large amounts of thiaminase (I and II*)
3. Some coccidiostats are thiamine destroyers as well
4. combined - this leads to thiamine deficiency
-Symptoms: head pressing, ataxia, anorexis
Vitamin B (thiamine)
-water soluble
-Thiamine is a cofactor that is needed by enzymes (thiamine-dependent enzymes) to covert pyruvate to acetyl-coa --> energy
- DEficiency = brain damage - thiamine is needed as energy, which is used for the synthesis of cell constituents in the brain, such as neurotransmitters
Polioencephalomalacia Pathology
- lesions seen in cerebral cortex, cerebral edema, yellow discoloration of grey matter, atrophy
- can tell the difference between PEM and encephalopathy through CSF
PEM has increased proteins and increased multinucleated macrophages
Hepatic encephalopathy
excessive ammonia = vomiting, irritability, lethary, intermitted ataxia, and metal retardation
- ammonia alters inhibitory response: (I think) increases GABA-receptor affinity for GABA- results in Ca2+ influx and decreased stimulation of neurons\\
- ammonia also causes ulcerative lesions and makes the blood brain barrier more permeable
Stellate stars in the rumen
-ulcers are resolved through fibrosis in the lumen and look like stellate stars
-contains fibrous connective tissue
Morphologic Diagnosis:
Rumen: rumenitis, ulcerative, multifocal, mild, chronic

Surreal Photography by Kila & RusharcJuxtapoz // Monday, 24 Jun 2013
While studying at the University of Westminster, photographers Kila & Rusharc began collaborating on a series of strange still-life photographs, borrowing heavily from the Surrealists. 'Their mutual interests in science and the natural world, combined with a fascination for the artificial and artifice,' lead them to develop their own visual language.

Varlamov's future in D.C. unclear
Jeremy Scriven | Jun 07, 2011 | Comments 9
Semyon Varlamov's future with the Washington Capitals has become a bit more cloudy over recent days as rumblings persist that the restricted free agent may either bolt to the KHL, or that the Capitals may not be as high on Varly as they were a year ago. Entering the 2010-2011 season, Varlamov was the consensus number one in the District. Fast forward to today, and that is no longer the case. The resurgence of Michal Neuvirth into a legitimate NHL number one goalie, and the sudden growth and maturation of Braden Holtby just may be Varlamov's ticket out of town. Couple that with a recent tweet from hockey insider Dmitry Chesonokov, and things really get dicey if your in the Varlamov camp. With less then a month left until the free agency period begins, if its true that the two parties haven't even talked about a contract extension yet – bad news. That said, I'm not ready to call it just yet on Varly's tenure in D.C. George McPhee is notoriously tight-lipped about dealings with personnel, that I wouldn't be surprised in the least if an offer is ready for Varlamov.
If you are Varlamov, you certainly don't have much to lean on in terms of performance this past season. It was down year for Varlamov health-wise as he once again fought injuries for most of the season. Varlamov has been plagued by injuries for most of his tenure with the Capitals. This year was no different as he appeared in just 27 games, posting a .924 save percentage and a 2.23 GAA. Varly's save percentage and GAA were actually better the Michal Neuvirth's over the course of the season. But the problem for Varly is that if he can't remain healthy, he isn't going to get the offer he wants from either the Capitals or another club in the NHL.
The issue the Capitals are facing is whether they are ready to part ways with a goaltender who has proven he can win in the NHL, as well as in the playoffs. We all know the faults plaguing the Capitals in the post season. They are now notorious for choking in the playoffs, however none of their playoff shortcomings can be attributed to their goaltending. Each and every year, the goaltending has lived up to the expectations set. And Varly was a big reason for that. The situation is a tricky one for the Capitals because parting ways with Varlamov means Holtby will be the likely back up for Neuvirth next season. Despite Holtby's success this season, his action was limited to just 14 games. His record in those games was a mind-numbing 10-2-2 with a 1.79 GAA. Is this a large enough sample size to justify parting ways with a guy who was top-5 in the NHL in both GAA and save percentage? The answer to that is obviously yes, if you can get something in return for Varlamov's services. Then it is a risk worth taking. There is no chance the Capitals will let a guy this talented walk away to another NHL club the way the Blackhawks let Niemi walk. If the Capitals can trade away the rights to Varly and get some much needed help at the Center of Defense positions, I say the Capitals should talk with any and all interested parties. But as is the case with life in general, this is easier said then done because NHL clubs interested in Varly's services wouldn't have the guarantee that Varly wouldn't jump to the KHL.
Also not working in the Capitals favor will be the dollars required to keep him in D.C. With Neuvirth already having signed an extension a season ago, Varly will likely be coveting similar dollars. The list of restricted free agents the Capitals must sign is lengthy, none more important then Karl Alzner. In addition, unrestricted free agents like Brooks Laich will be looking for raises this offseason, further putting pressure on McPhee to do his math with regard to the Cap. Then there is the need to improve the team from the outside via free agency. The Capitals are far to young down the middle and need to add a defenseman, preferably with some speed, if they wish to contend again next year. With Neuvirth in place as the teams starting goalie next season, and Holtby proving he's an NHL ready goalie, Varly just may be the odd man out.
So do you feel the Caps should retain Varlamov next season, trade his rights away, or let him walk to the KHL?

See ya Varly, rather we spend our Rubles elsewhere.
I don't mind giving Varly Neuvirth's money…remember that 30′s extension is only $1.1 million per year for two years. That's dirt cheap for a guy with starter-talent (and then some).
Holtby also hasn't "proven" much. See here:
Holtby's numbers are almost identical to Reimer's at that point.
[...] 14. Semyon Varlamov's future in Washington is unclear [Hockey Independent] [...]
[...] there is a little talk going on in Washington that Semyon Varlamov might not be signing with the Caps. That's a guy that has had some injury problems but that also [...]
What a looooooonnnnnnnngggggggggg, hoooooooooooootttttttttt, and booooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnggggggggg off season it already is…
FACT: Semyon "The Saviour" Varlamov is coming off his rookie contract and has no arbitration rights this summer.
Taking the above fact into consideration with a knowledge of GM George McPhee's standard operating procedure tells you that the lack of discussion about a new contract is meaningless and nothing new. IIRC McPhee once said about a player in a similar circumstance (Jeff Halpern I believe) "he's coming off his rookie contract and doesn't have arbitration rights. He's not going to hit a home run."
Signing Michal "Bebe" Neuvirth to an extension in September of last year was way out of character for GMGM. However, playing hardball with an RFA who can't hold the team up in arbitration? Nothing new for GMGM. The only time to read anything into the situation is if we get a week past the arbitration period and the Caps still haven't talked turkey with "The Saviour."
Given "The Saviour's" injury history (not good) it isn't much of a surprise that Bebe got a new contract first. Furthermore, GMGM said flat out after the season ended, if "The Saviour" wants to go back to Russia, the Caps won't stand in his way.
Direct GMGM quote on Varly, KHL rumors: "If he wants to go to the KHL, let him go. This is the best league in world and most players want to play here"
It's these kind of situation that reminds me how much I love McPhee – GM for life

When you stumble upon a fanfic that has:
- Your favourite oddball pairing
- An author's blurb with an awesome premise
- Multiple typos and/or misspellings in the title alone
That about sums up our student loan system
There's a stark difference between the ways U.S. and UK students pay for college. In the UK, tuition costs are capped at a maximum of about $15,150, which doesn't need to be paid up front or until after graduation. If funded by English or Welsh funding bodies, students don't need to pay until they're earning over $35,350 and the amount owed is tailored to their income. Someone earning around $50,500 would pay $1,353 yearly for their loans. If it's not paid off in 30 years, it's written off entirely. Meanwhile, tuition in Scotland is entirely free for students who study in the home country.

Baseball, the romantics cite, is steeped in so much tradition that it's simple to draw a line in the sand and connect generations – whether we're referencing fathers and sons or ballplayers from different eras.
Sometimes, though, the art of bridging venerable types with youth whose chapters are waiting to be written requires assistance. In that regard, Mason Williams, the Pawtucket native and high-ceiling outfield prospect in the New York Yankees' farm system owes Joe Logan much thanks.
LINCOLN — The Burrillville All-Stars may have taken a quick exit at this R.I. Little League Major Division Tournament, that after suffering an 11-9 losers' bracket elimination loss to Cranston Western late Sunday afternoon, but skipper Mike Cabral nevertheless mustered a smile afterward.
He had every reason, as his crew entered the top half of the sixth frame trailing 11-4, but manufactured five runs while causing their opponent's coaching staff fits.

Are you an Outcast ? TED Men and X-MEN
so many Great Thinkers, Artists,Scientist, and.... seem to be outcasts and detached from their own society for a time or even their entire lives.
I don't know if that is good or bad , but what I am so curious to know is how many TED members were or are an outcast ? Do you feel good or bad about it ?
to me somehow TED people seem like mutated people in X-men, so did you ever wanted to be Normal ? not to think ? not to worry ? not to care ?
inspired by a conversation with Debra Smith
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 5 2011: I never felt like an outcast, because that would mean other cast me out, I think I'm more like an outsider. I've never been a member of any communities really, and always had only a few friends (if any). Part of it was because of social anxiety and another part that I felt like I was different.
I don't feel comfortable in a society where people are more excited about, say, a new iPhone or game release than they are about stuff that matters, that's crucial these days, and that's exactly what TED is about. BUT, I think this comparison is also a bit exaggerated, as I don't claim to be or feel like a great thinker, artist, scientist, or in any way extraordinary. I'm only (trying to be) conscious, mindful, empathic and supportive - which is, compared to the truly great historic figures, a really uncool mutation ;)
Oct 5 2011: Renata if any artist or scientist did something of a value it was because they cared about others more than themselves and that is exactly who you are as you said: conscious, mindful, empathic and supportive
I don't believe just being smart makes anyone special, but caring , conscious and curious certainly does.
by the way great mutation and by my sight a very cool one :)
Oct 5 2011: You're saying, "if any artist or scientist did something of a value it was because they cared about others more than themselves" - so do you think that artists and scientists only work out of selflessness? I disagree with that.
Many artists, especially poets, writers, painters, etc. create things because it's their way of coping with their own suffering. Surely you know lots of great artists who have suffered from depression or some other sort of mental disorder. Some of my favorite poets and poems are about pain and misery and I am entirely sure they didn't have humanity and mankind on their minds when they wrote them. They are deeply personal and I don't think most of them thought about becoming famous either.
So would this mean that these personal, pain-driven (or happiness-driven) creations are not valuable? I think not. What's the definition of "value" anyway?
Or how many inventions and discoveries are the results of pure coincidences?
You see, I don't think you have to be caring, mindful, selfless, you don't have to want to help in order to create something great and vice versa - if I'm mindful and supportive, it doesn't make me great.
Oct 6 2011: Jean paul sartre in Being and Nothingness says , we live for others and if we are all alone we would live a different life,
I believe Da Vinci , Newton, or any other Genius would have lived another life if lived all alone in a deserted island, We humans need others respect and we would try for it , If many artists felt miserable about life it was mostly for caring about other not just themselves
All I am saying is caring is a valuable thing and as Dan Dennett said here on TED We are the only species that Sacrifice ourselves to serve an idea , and a goal, for the future of others.
But I agree , just being mindful or careful does not change anything.
Great People are innovative hard working and caring .
Oct 5 2011: Of course they are :)
I didn't mean to imply that those things aren't cool, because I have many interests myself that don't serve the best interest of humanity either. It's good to have fun and good to be careless, but what I wanted to say was that many people don't care about stuff that matters (TED-material, if you will) at all. And that just makes me sad.
I don't know if it's laziness, stupidity, carelessness or what, but I don't like it. I know I'm not going to save the world either, but I'm at least interested, I'm concerned, and I do my best to change little things for the better - and sometimes that's only playing a game to brighten my mood :)
Oct 8 2011: Definitely. I always hated when people said that it's harder to do certain things in certain areas (here Eastern Europe for example). Hated that people went to the USA or any other Western country to pursue their dreams. I thought that it was just a stupid excuse, but the more involved I am, the more I see the truth to it.
TED, and the internet in general is not just an escape but also an opportunity for me because here it's nearly impossible to live the life I want to live, especially in this little town. I used to judge the people who left the country for a better life and now I'm about to do the same.
Well, the cultural revolutions and innovations always reached us belated, so in a way it makes sense even now. What I don't understand is why, because the internet, the modern infrastructure would make it possible everywhere to change things. So I have to assume it's because of the way people are thinking...
