Pets at the Masonic Care Community
Many of us love pets. At the Masonic Care Community, we welcome visitors to bring their four legged family members to visit. But we do require you present proof of an up to date rabies vaccination as required by New York State Law. Please carry the certificate given you by your vet, which includes a description of your pet, with you at all times. The tag on your pet's collar is not proof of vaccination. Please make sure your pet is clean, as animal fleas or other parasites can easily be transfered to bedding or carpet in a household. Please keep your pets off the furniture, especially in the common areas of our facility. And when you take your pet outside "to do his business" please clean up after him. Keep pets out of areas where food is being handled.

Okay my friend is obsessed with MAC cosmetics, so she dragged me in a store one day at the mall because she wanted to buy some eyeshadow and mascara. Well, I started looking around, and me having an obsession with bronzers, started playing around with some of their samples. I ended up buying their Matte bronze, as I hate bronzers with too much shimmer because you can't apply them all over your face without looking like a golden statue. I am happy with it. If you press your brush into the compact and not swirl it, then it won't become too powdery. It looks very dark, but suprisingly is very sheer and meant to be layered depending on your skin tone. I like it. I wouldn't say it's like HG or anything, I'm always on the prowl for a new bronzer, that's the only reason I have one lippy off. It is truly matte and gives a natural looking glow, for only $20, it's cheaper than Clinique, Lancome, or Benefit. The big compact is nice too with the mirror. I won't keep it in my purse though, as I tend to throw the stuff around in there sometimes and don't want to risk breaking this stuff. Overall, it was natural looking and I would buy it again
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have tried both Golden and Refined Golden, but I like this the most. It looks the most natural because it doesnt have any sparkle/shimmer. Note: If you live in Toronto, you can only find this at the MAC stores and not at the Bay.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
really like this, great to get a bronzer with no shimmer. its like benefit's hoola but better and much cheaper. packaging is good, nice size, and mirror is a plus. its fairly dark but im really pale and can still wear it. just watch you dont drop it!
I really like my Mac bronzing powder. I like the Mac bronzer because it's a matte so my face isn't all sparkly. It's a high quality powder and goes on super smooth and even with my Mac powder brush ( I LOVE IT!). I will only use mac bronzer now. Yet I'm still willing to try other products - I just haven't found anything to top this. There is totally a difference between the drugstore bronzers that cost 9 bucks and my Mac which is 20. The Bronze shade is pretty dark bc/ I'm a white girl so this only works for me during the summer months. This is one of my must have products.
was persuaded into buying this bronzer by the mac consultant (i don't know why but i'm scared of them so generally buy what i'm told) big mistake it is the worst bronzer i have ever bought it goes on orange and stripey and makes your face look like its caked in powder no matter how little you put on
Put it on one day and my boyfriend asked me what i'd got on my face as i looked like a satsuma.
This bronzer is a really nice brown colour, a proper tan in a compact. However, as with Benefit's Hoola, because of the genuine brown colour there is a hint of pinkiness to it which is only obvious if you're not already tanned. I'm NC25/Revlon CS Buff and although I love this shade of genuine brown, over my foundation it looks quite pinky. When I have a tan and obviously using a darker foundation it looks really nice and blends well. I wouldnt really recommend this bronzer if you're fair skinned (lighter than NC30) or have a yellow undertone as it will make you look a bit muddy and pinky, but when you have a tan go for it! If you do want a good bronzer that looks sunkissed even on paler skin tones go for the Golden, much more natural!
I looks like I am going to be the first to break up this Matte Bronze love fest but I think this bronzer is horrible. It goes on unevenly (and I use a MAC recommended brush) and within an hour you catch a glimpse of yourself in a mirror and watch out! My face looked so unbelievably dirty and streaky. Don't think it was my technique or my skin type, which is pretty normal. I've tried it more than once and same result every time. I gave it to my niece, who is really too young for makeup anway, but it worked out perfectly because it looks likes cheap stage makeup on her so she can wear it to put on little skits for us. Oh well, back to the store...
A truly fabulous bronzer. I'm not much of a shimmer shade person and prefer to show off a matte complexion and that's exactly what the MAC Matte Bronze does. I simply apply it over my C4 for a healthy glow without the shine. A little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for with this product. Overall, this one's got my vote and I'd certainly buy it again and again.
I looked all over for this bronzer, finally one of the MA told me I could only get it from a MAC store or online. So I ordered it from the webiste and I'm glad I did. When I first opened the compact the color kind of scared me because it looks really dark, but I tried it out and it went on sheer and very believable looking. If you are looking for a matte bronzer definitly give this a try.
I love this bronzer! It goes on so smooth and stays on good. I wear this everyday to give me that sunkissed glow. I wear it as a blush over my powder. It's a nice change from the rosey blush that I usually wear. It lasts a long time too-I bought this in December and it's now July and i'm still not quite out just yet. Will repurchase!

How did you cope with your child's diagnosis?
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 02-22-2012 - 10:42pm
Hi everyone. The last time I was on an ivillage message board was as a part of the 2007 expecting club and then playgroup. My son is now 4 and was diagnosed last fall with autism. It has been an emotional rollercoaster ever since. How did you cope? How are you coping now? I have buried myself in the technical stuff such as getting him the right related services but have not given myself the time to emotionally process everything. Thanks for listening.
|Sat, 03-31-2012 - 3:18pm
My daughter was diagnosed at three and is now nine. I still don't know that I "cope" with it well. My biggest advice is to take one day at a time. Spending to much time thinking about the future just spins me out, anxiety wise. My mantra is "It is what it is, I'm doing the best I can!" (That works for all of life's slings and arrows, not just this one!)
I can't say I haven't struggled alot. I had lost my only sibling to suicide five weeks before she was diagnosed, and for the first year or two I just walked around in a fog. I've come a long way since those dark days, but I still struggle.
Become your child's best advocate. Do what
|Mon, 03-26-2012 - 11:21pm
Well, quite frankly, I was a bit shellshocked. We knew our 9 yo. had many struggles, both with school and things at home. We'd struggled for years to get her the help she needs at school, and that fight isn't over. But since her first developmental pediatrician two years ago didn't say anything about the autism surveys we filled out, we figured it wasn't an issue. It was a huge shock when this past February her neuropsychologist, after extensive testing, diagnosed her with PDD-NOS and Sensory Processing Disorder.
I spent the first few days in a bit of a fog. Finally, though, I had an epiphany. My precious little girl was the same person right that minute as she was a week earlier, before we had the diagnosis. And that realization made all the difference. Having a name for the struggles didn't suddenly make her a different person, but it did give us a direction in which to go to help her.

SATURDAY, Dec. 17 (HealthDay News) -- The busy holiday season
may disrupt many people's daily routines, but at this time of year
it is especially important to remember to look after your teeth, an
expert advises.
"Holiday get-togethers tend to lead people to consume sugary treats and drink alcoholic beverages more than usual," Dr. George Shepley, spokesperson for the Academy of General Dentistry, said in an academy news release.
"Additionally, with their busy schedules and increased stress levels, I've noticed that my patients' oral hygiene suffers. They forget the most basic of oral hygiene tasks that can counteract the effects of sugary snacks and drinks," he pointed out.
Shepley offers suggestions on a number of ways to protect your
teeth during the holiday season.
To reduce the risk of damage from drinking red and white wines,
which are highly acidic and can eat away at a tooth's enamel,
refrain from swishing wine around in your mouth and drink water
between glasses of wine to rinse acid from your teeth.
And, while holiday goodies such as cookies, chocolate and candy
canes are tempting, the sugar in them promotes the growth of
cavity-causing bacteria. If you can't brush or floss after eating
sweet treats, drink water or chew a piece of sugarless gum, which
will increased saliva flow and help wash away the bacteria.
Finally, Shepley pointed out, holiday stress can cause some
people to grind or clench their teeth, potentially resulting in
chipped teeth, jaw pain and headaches.
"Finding ways to alleviate your anxiety can help, but it's also important to see your dentist, who can recommend solutions like a custom night guard," Shepley said. "Wearing one at night will prevent you from taking out the holiday stress on your teeth while you sleep."

A new Highland Heights development, which broke ground last week, will bring several new restaurants and retail shops to the area.
Amanda Joering of the Community Recorder reports:
HIGHLAND HEIGHTS — Work is now under way on the new Highland Pointe retail center along U.S. 27 in Highland Heights.
City officials and representatives from the developer, Thompson Thrift Development, held a groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday, Feb. 12, for the 1.58-acre plot, located across the street from the entrance to Northern Kentucky University.
"This is an excellent opportunity for our city to brings in several new businesses," said Highland Heights Mayor Greg Meyers. "The development of this land, with its central location in the center of our city, has been a long time coming."
Chris Hake, director of retail for Thompson Thrift, said the company has been looking at the land for several years and is excited to begin work on the project.
The project consists of two retail buildings, totaling more than 13,225 square feet of retail space, Hake said.
Hake said so far, tenants for the space include City Barbecue, Firehouse Subs, Pizza Hut and Fort Thomas Jewelers. Negotiations are under way with three or four more potential tenants.
Vince Keairns, owner of Fort Thomas Jewelers, said he's excited to be relocating to the new, vibrant center.
The jewelery store, currently located in the Fort Thomas Plaza, has been in business in Fort Thomas for 15 years.
"We're seeing a lot of growth in Highland Heights, and we're excited to be part of it," Keairns said. "We plan to be open there the end of August, with a new state-of-the-art facility."
Meyers said developing the space, which is referred to as "the island" because of the road that loops around it, has been challenging since it basically offers store fronts on both sides, but that Thompson Thrift has been great to work with.
The groundbreaking event, which included the demolition of one of the houses on the land, was bittersweet for some of those who attended.
Several family members of Bill and Armella Roth, who lived in the house for about 60 years, attended the event, watching as the house that held many memories for all of them was bulldozed.
"I just made so many memories in that house," said Cynthia Roth, Bill and Armella's granddaughter. "But, I think grandpa would have liked this, we was really happy to see Highland Heights grow."
Once the demolition is complete, construction of the new buildings will take place and is expected to be complete by late June, when the buildings will be turned over to the tenants, Hake said.

Here's a proper look at the opening spread of Jonah Berger's mouth from the April 'Making of a Guru 2013' issue of Fast Company. Jonah is the author of Contagious Why Things Catch On.
Leslie Dela Vega the PD at Fast Co. and I brainstormed about what would make for a strong opener and then asked me to come up with some concepts pre shoot which she would pitch. Normally I don't go too heavy on concept and prefer to shoot by the seat of my pants but was happy to put pen to paper and put my artistic skills to good use scribbling down a few idea's.
Turns out first one was the simplest and the best as is often the case. When I was doing research on the book I found Berger "reveals the secret science behind word-of-mouth and social transmission. Discover how six basic principles drive all sorts of things to become contagious, from consumer products and policy initiatives to workplace rumors and YouTube videos." Et voila there you go, camera close up on Jonah's mouth… Get it?
We tried out plenty of stuff on the day but thankfully the Berger mouth idea stuck. Well pleased with how it looks in print spread out over the two pages and all…

Minnesota Woman Working at the Twin Cities Ordnance Plant
Between 1941 and 1976 (with some pauses between WWII, Korea, and the Vietnam wars), the United States Army operated a munitions factory about half an hour from downtown Minneapolis, in New Brighton, MN. Originally the Twin Cities Ordnance Plant, renamed the Twin Cities Arsenal in 1946 and then finally as the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant in 1963, its workers produced small arms ammunition. Unsurprisingly, it was at its most busy during World War II, when it was staffed almost exclusively by women. The women working there were indispensable to the war effort, not just in the munitions they produced, but in their likenesses.
All of the above photos were printed in Minneapolis newspapers in 1942 and 1943 both as simple reporting, but also as propaganda: the United States had resources, was producing munitions like mad, and the work was being done by strong, attractive women.
This post was researched and written by Special Collections Intern James Morrow. James spent the summer working on various components of the Minneapolis Historic Photo Collection in the Hennepin County Library Special Collections.

medicines for high blood pressure
other drugs for inflammation like ketorolac, ibuprofen, and prednisone
This list may not describe all possible interactions. Give your health care provider a list of all the medicines, herbs, non-prescription drugs, or dietary supplements you use. Also tell them if you smoke, drink alcohol, or use illegal drugs. Some items may interact with your medicine.
Tell your doctor or health care professional if your pain does not get better. Talk to your doctor before taking another medicine for pain. Do not treat yourself.

The Theatre of Cruelty has been created in order to restore to the theatre a passionate and convulsive conception of life, and it is in this sense of violent rigour and extreme condensation of scenic elements that the cruelty on which it is based must be understood. This cruelty, which will be bloody when necessary but not systematically so, can thus be identified with a kind of severe moral purity which is not afraid to pay life the price it must be paid.Antoine Marie Joseph Artaud
Wherefore, though good and bad men suffer alike, we must not suppose that there is no difference between the men themselves, because there is no difference in what they both suffer. For even in the likeness of the sufferings, there remains an unlikeness in the sufferers; and though exposed to the same anguish, virtue and vice are not the same thing. For as the same fire causes gold to glow brightly, and chaff to smoke; and under the same flail the straw is beaten small, while the grain is cleansed; and as the lees are not mixed with the oil, though squeezed out of the vat by the same pressure, so the same violence of affliction proves, purges, clarifies the good, but damns, ruins, exterminates the wicked. And thus it is that in the same affliction the wicked detest God and blaspheme, while the good pray and praise. So material a difference does it make, not what ills are suffered, but what kind of man suffers them. For, stirred up with the same movement, mud exhales a horrible stench, and ointment emits a fragrant odor.St. Augustine of Hippo
Already I had learned from thee that because a thing is eloquently expressed it should not be taken to be as necessarily true; nor because it is uttered with stammering lips should it be supposed false. Nor, again, is it necessarily true because rudely uttered, nor untrue because the language is brilliant. Wisdom and folly both are like meats that are wholesome and unwholesome, and courtly or simple words are like town-made or rustic vessels both kinds of food may be served in either kind of dish.St. Augustine of Hippo
Captain Hall expressed some doubts as to my views respecting the affection and love of pigeons, as if I made it human, and raised the possessors quite above the brutes. I presume the love of the mothers for their young is much the same as the love of woman for her offspring. There is but one kind of love; God is love, and all his creatures derive theirs from his; only it is modified by the different degrees of intelligence in different beings and creatures.John James Audubon
The truly tragic kind of suffering is the kind produced and defiantly insisted upon by the hero himself so that, instead of making him better, it makes him worse and when he dies he is not reconciled to the law but defiant, that is, damned. Lear is not a tragic hero, Othello is.Wystan Hugh Auden
By mourning tongues The death of the poet was kept from his poems. But for him it was his last afternoon as himself, An afternoon of nurses and rumours; The provinces of his body revolted, The squares of his mind were empty, Silence invaded the suburbs. The current of his feeling failed: he became his admirers. Now he is scattered over a hundred cities And wholly given over to unfamiliar affections; To find his happiness in another kind of wood And be punished under a foreign code of conscience. The words of a dead man are modified in the guts of the living.Wystan Hugh Auden
In view of the fading animals the proliferation of sewers and fears the sea clogging, the air nearing extinction we should be kind, we should take warning, we should forgive each other Instead we are opposite, we touch as though attacking, the gifts we bring even in good faith maybe warp in our hands to implements, to manoeuvresMargaret Eleanor Atwood
There is more than one kind of freedom... Freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from. Don't underrate it.Margaret Eleanor Atwood
He that is kind is free, though he is a slave; he that is evil is a slave, though he be a king.St. Augustine of Hippo
Life has a way of shining on people who stand in the sunshine of kind actions.Bryant McGill
We must be kind and gentle gardeners with people and nature.Bryant McGill
If you can be kind to people, you will be a genius in this world.Bryant McGill
What kind of Christmas present would Jesus ask Santa for?Salman Rushdie
Further, it will not be amiss to distinguish the three kinds and, as it were, grades of ambition in mankind. The first is of those who desire to extend their own power in their native country, a vulgar and degenerate kind. The second is of those who labor to extend the power and dominion of their country among men. This certainly has more dignity, though not less covetousness. But if a man endeavor to establish and extend the power and dominion of the human race itself over the universe, his ambition (if ambition it can be called) is without doubt both a more wholesome and a more noble thing than the other two. Now the empire of man over things depends wholly on the arts and sciences. For we cannot command nature except by obeying her.Francis Bacon
Those who have taken upon them to lay down the law of nature as a thing already searched out and understood, whether they have spoken in simple assurance or professional affectation, have therein done philosophy and the sciences great injury. For as they have been successful in inducing belief, so they have been effective in quenching and stopping inquiry; and have done more harm by spoiling and putting an end to other men's efforts than good by their own. Those on the other hand who have taken a contrary course, and asserted that absolutely nothing can be known whether it were from hatred of the ancient sophists, or from uncertainty and fluctuation of mind, or even from a kind of fullness of learning, that they fell upon this opinion have certainly advanced reasons for it that are not to be despised; but yet they have neither started from true principles nor rested in the just conclusion, zeal and affectation having carried them much too far.... Now my method, though hard to practice, is easy to explain; and it is this. I propose to establish progressive stages of certainty. The evidence of the sense, helped and guarded by a certain process of correction, I retain. But the mental operation which follows the act of sense I for the most part reject; and instead of it I open and lay out a new and certain path for the mind to proceed in, starting directly from the simple sensuous perception.Francis Bacon
Not so great in England at the moment; in an online poll we came last, we actually came bottom of European countries for quality of life, because of things like the weather, obviously, late retirement, poor holiday, poor public services, poor health service; it's basically just a kind of grey, godless wilderness, full of cold pies and broken dreams.Bill Bailey
The purse strings tie us to our kind.Walter Bagehot
Ideas are invented only as correctives to the past. Through repeated rectifications of this kind one may hope to disengage an idea that is valid.Gaston Bachelard
Machado de Assis is a kind of miracle, another demonstration of the autonomy of literary genius in regard to time and place, politics and religion.Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis
I am tormented by temptations. What kind? There is a cure for temptation. What? Yielding to it.Honor de Balzac
Our heart is a treasury; if you pour out all its wealth at once, you are bankrupt. We show no more mercy to the affection that reveals its utmost extent than we do to another kind of prodigal who has not a penny left.Honor de Balzac
Study lends a kind of enchantment to all our surroundings.Honor de Balzac
Perhaps our own fin-de-sicle decadence takes the form, not of libertarian excess, but of the kind of over-the-top puritanism we see in political correctness and the assorted moral certainties of physical fitness fanatics, New Agers and animal-rights activists.James Graham Ballard
Some people didn't like the novel, it is in some ways extremely bleak. But if you are dealing with the kind of subjects I am trying to demystify the delusions we have about ourselves, to get a more accurate fix on human nature then people are unsettled. And the easiest way to deal with that is to say it's weird or it's cold.James Graham Ballard

Will We, as Home-School Graduates, Impact the World?
- Thursday, November 07, 2002
As I watch my home-schooling career draw to a close, I'm both fascinated and concerned by what I'm observing as the expanding Christian home-schooling movement begins to mature. When I began home schooling 12 years ago, there were less than a million of us out there. Now, there are over two million.
As the number of home-schooled students who are approaching college and adulthood continues to rise, I see a trend that I believe to be contrary to the original spirit of home schooling. I also sense new motives among home-schooling families that appear to be contrary to the Evangelical roots upon which home schooling was founded.
Home schooling is a predominantly Evangelical movement, and was founded in the spirit of the Salvation Army and other great social welfare movements that once embraced the world-movements that sought to bring the Kingdom of God into the world. Now, however, there is a growing fear of the world among home schoolers, a growing intellectual snobbery that is beginning to resemble a movement of selfishness and isolation.
Many home schoolers today seem to be offended by and ashamed of what is commonly referred to by Christians as "The World" -- mainstream culture and our American society. Vast majorities of high schoolers that have been raised in a home school do not take seriously -- and sometimes simply laugh off -- the views of liberal and mainstream thought. Rather than embracing the culture and trying to bring their Christian influences to bear, they withdraw from the culture.
This intellectual segregation may not initially appear to be that serious of a problem. Indeed, Christians are called to be different from the world (and, inherently, we are). However, we're also called to be in the world.
Out of the Christian Ghetto
This means being involved and interested in our culture and society. Inside the home-schooling community, there's a wealth of intellect, critical thought and productivity that may never influence our society because we, the Christian home-schooled high-schoolers who have been graced with these gifts, are too offended by the world in which we live. The product of this mentality is that a lot of society-changing potential is being burned up inside what some would call a "Christian ghetto."
I feel quite strongly about this, and I'm convinced that something ought to be done to reverse this practice of isolationism that is threatening to envelope the home-schooling community. The isolationism, as I mentioned earlier, is not a physical isolationism, but an intellectual and emotional isolationism that refuses to be involved in our culture, because of its perceived impurities.
Now, I'd better pause and qualify my argument. As I understand it, the home-schooling movement was formed so parents could actually raise their children, teach them the truth, and point them towards Christ-the intention being that after these children have been raised with a strong foundation in the truth, they would be fully prepared to enter the world and impact it with the truth.

DVD burn error 'there was a problem'
I have burned CD's and DVDs before no problem. Now I get a window 'Error - there was a problem burning this disc' after maybe 2 minutes of building the image file. Using the built in burn appl in 7 Pro. (I'll try another appl if I can't solve this.)
DVD +R disc is fine, doesn't begin to even burn. Can't be hardware because it's worked fine before. Can't be intermittent as I haven't removed/touched any internals.
Tried making the pagefile larger, to match ram of 2GB ( min 2048, max 4000). Same. Lots of room on the hard drive. Can't believe it would be because data is 3.64 GB because 7 should just use the hard drive if it runs out of ram.
Thank you in advance.

Definitely try a different burner. ImgBurn or CDBurnerXP (ignore the XP part, it works on Win 7) are both good, free programs.

Basically there are four reasons for a burn error.
1. sub-standard media - Always use a known-to-be good branded media
2. debry-laden optical drive - periodically clean the lense with a lense-cleaner CD.
3. speed burning - do not burn at the maximum speed. Always lower the burn speed, the lower the better.
4. Multitasking - Although theoretcally with power-horses on your hand multitasking is less troublesome, when it comes to burning prefer to do a single job that is burning and leave it alone doing that one task.

Hi Marcio,
Our first step is to isolate the PLC possible issue, so we will deploy a sniffer on the Switch 2955 that this PLC
network is connected to. To do that were going to put a desktop with Ethereal installed on one of empty port on this
switch and mirror the PLC switch port to the desktop switch port.
My doubt is: How
s the best way to do it ?
- I think this desktop must have two NIC, one with no ip configuration and other with ip configuration and also
connected to another port that we can collect the data
You would need only one NIC, put into promiscious mode and listening for
traffic on a spanned (monitor session) port. This way you should capture
all data flowing between both endpoints.
- Whats the best sniffer to harvest this kind of data? Ethereal?
If you're on Unix/Linux tcpdump or ethereal are the best choice, under
Windows you probably won't find anything better than ethereal.
- Hows the best way to log this data? Is there any software for Windows to do it?
Well, with ethereal you can save the capture in libpcap format and than
analyze it whenever it suits you - both with tcpdump and ethereal.

METAIRIE, La. (AP) - The New Orleans Pelicans have signed veteran small forward John Salmons to a free agent contract.
Salmons, whose acquisition was announced by the club Tuesday, has played 12 seasons in the NBA. He has averaged 9.4 points, 3 rebounds and 2.5 assists during his career.
The 34-year-old Salmons entered the NBA with Philadelphia after being selected 26th overall in the 2002 draft. He has twice played with Sacramento and also spent time with Chicago, Milwaukee and most recently Toronto.
Salmons, 6-foot-6, has appeared in 874 games with 429 starts.
The Pelicans have been looking to add depth at small forward since Al-Farouq Aminu left for Dallas in free agency this offseason.

Seawell wrote:I say we make a trade and move up as far as possible in the draft. Horry's, Shaw's, and unfortunately Shaq's better days are behind them. I know that is hard to swallow but anything else is just wishful thinking and will cost us in the long run. One of the best things we still had going for us this year was that a lot of people still feared us. That fear is gone. I don't mean to rag on Shaq too much but I think his lack of commitment to stay in shape over the past couple of years is costing him now(carrying that much weight around is too much for his feet and knees). Of course we don't trade Shaq, but we must understand that it isn't his team any more and we need to go ahead and plan like we don't have him. I know there are a lot of veterans that want to come play here next year but getting older probably won't help much. In the end losing this year will probably be better for us than if we would have won. Why?...because did you see the tears from Kobe and Fish? That's a bitter feeling that will motivate them to play harder next year. Also, because this forces the ownership to make moves in the off season.
Seawell wrote:You're right it will be hard to trade any of our vets but I was thinking maybe we could package our two draft picks along with it? If we can't get that to work out then we should definitely be agressive in the free agent market and at least get younger vets who are still playing well like GP and Pippen.

Holes in the Matter
A Case of Prion Disease
Tonya Laakko Train
This case centers on a fictional group of young adults who studied abroad together in Scotland as college students. A number of them develop disease symptoms and die a few years after the trip. The cause of death is determined to be a prion disease. Applying information from pre-reading assignments as well as from the case itself, students propose hypotheses as to which prion disease was the most likely cause of death and how it was acquired. In the final section of the case study, students are asked to imagine that this occurred on their campus and write an essay explaining the disease in the case study to a general audience and why they should or should not stay on campus. The case was designed for an upper-division undergraduate course in the biochemical basis of disease and is intended to introduce students to prions and the diseases caused by this infectious protein. It could also be used in undergraduate courses dealing with infectious disease, global health, physiology, or biochemistry.

The BLM is removing some of the cheapest and best land for renewable energy projects from the market. What's more, it drives up the price of the more scarce, available land, making the already thin margins on renewable energy projects even more precarious.13Aug2011 | admin | 0 comments | Continued
BLM Approves Energy Development in Wyoming's Fortification Creek
The BLM said it denied a landowner group's protest and would stick to a final plan released in March that will eventually allow energy development in the area, something that hasn't happened since 2005, said Thomas Bills, environmental coordinator with the agency.11Aug2011 | admin | 0 comments | Continued

And many others, who are interested in hybrid humanized animals for biomedical studies.
Research Goals:
Together with Santhi Gorantla, we would like to provide biomedical community with environmentally, genetically, and xenotransplantation-modified mice for the study of human immunity, viral infections/co-infections and related comorbidities, drug interactions, and vaccines.
Humanized mice for neuroAIDS
PI: L Poluektova
Source: NIH/NINDS 5 R21 NS060642-02
The specificity of HIV-1 for human cells precludes virus infection in most mammalian species and limits the use of small animal models for the studies of HIV-1 neuropathogenesis. We will investigate the establishment of a human cell network in the brain of NOD/scid-gc-/- mice transplanted with human CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells, their susceptibility to HIV-1, the mechanisms involved in the control of HIV-1 replication and neuronal damage. This model will be the best suited for NeuroAIDS research.
Neural Immunity in HIV Dementia
PI: H Gendelman; Project 3 Co-Leader: L Poluektova
Source: NIH/NINDS 5 P01 NS043985-07
The major goal of this grant is the study of the specific immunologic basis of HAD and linkages between it and other neurodegenerative disorders. This grant brings together in one organizational structure a group of scientists with expertise in areas of neurotoxicology, cellular immunology, neuropathology, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology and molecular biology, who maintain a unified focus on how MP biology affects both neurodegeneration and neuroprotection.
In Vivo Reconstitution Models for NeuroAIDS and Beta-Amyloidosis
PI: T Ikezu; Co-I: L Poluektova
Souce: NIH/NIMH 1 R01 MH083523-01
This study is focused on development of NeuroAIDS and beta-amyloidosis using severely compromised immunodeficient APP transgenic mice reconstituted with HIV-1-infected human immune cells.
Nanodelivery of Active NRTI to the Central Nervous System: Humanized HIV Murine Model
PI: S Vinogradov; Co-I: L Poluektova
Source: NIH/NINDS 1 R21 NS063879-01A1
Nanomedicine and NeuroAIDS
PI: H Gendelman; Co-I: L Poluektova
Source: NIH/NINDS 5 R01 NS36126-13
This research proposes to investigate the biophysiological properties of monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages that influence cell migration both across the blood-brain barrier and within the brain. The central hypothesis is that changes in ion channel expression in monocytes and macrophages following exposure to virus and immune products influences the cell's ability to change its volume and shape, thus influencing cell migration. Such events are pivotal for macrophages to enter the brain and to secrete the toxins that underlie the neuropathogenesis of HIV-1 associated dementia.
Blood Brain Barrier Immune Compromise in NeuroAIDS
PI: G Kanmogne; Co-I: L Poluektova
Source: NIH/NIMH 5 R01 MH081780-02
The major goal of this project is to provide insights into the mechanisms by which cytokines and HIV-1 transduce signals at the blood-brain barrier (BBB), dysregulations that occurs in HIV infection and lead to BBB dysfunction.
Techniques used in the laboratory:
- Hematopoietic stem cells and liver stem cells isolation and transplantation
- Creation of chimeric mice carrying human blood and liver
- Immunohistochemistry
- Western blot
- Studies of adaptive immunity on humanized mice

All plaid out
Unless you bear any resemblance to Bubble Boy and live in an isolated world of your own, you're aware that plaid/checked patterns have been the hottest thing this year. From H&M to Hermès, every brand out there is offering some kind of plaid alternative: jackets, suits, pants, shirts, you name it. However, the one that stands out the most is definitely the shirt. Lets face it: this is THE must have item for this Fall/Winter (hell, it was this Summer's must have as well!). If you're the least enthusiastic about fashion, like to be somewhat on pair with trends and can only afford one item, the plaid shirt is this years' obvious choice.
The best thing about it? You won't need to spend much to get your hands on one, as they're available everywhere and with different price tags, so you'll surely find something that fits your wallet. Obviously, quality comes at price and you get what you pay for: usually cheaper versions will be more on the casual side of things whereas dressier alternatives will cost you (there are exceptions tough, many high end labels are selling pricey flannel shirts). I'm a supporter of more subtle patterns and often choose the smaller versions (micro plaid, thin stripes) over large ones, but in this case I'll make an exception. My only advice is for you to balance the pattern with your body frame: if you're more on the petit side, avoid large plaids; a bigger frame however, will look off balanced with a micro plaid.
Also, an interesting way to get the most out of your money is to choose a piece that you can wear as an outerwear alternative, the so called over shirt. Heavier fabrics are the way to go here so feel free to go with flannel, thick wools and the likes. If you're buying a shirt for this purpose, keep in mind that you'll be wearing at least one other layer underneath it, so it might be a good idea to go one size up (while maintaing a trim fit).
I'll leave you with a few options to get you going:
Our Legacy 1940's Dove Blue Check - 130€ @ Our Legacy.
Our Legacy Cowberry Check - 120€ @ Our Legacy.
Adam Kimmel Tie Hold Shirt Green Plaid - 238€ @ Trés Bien Shop.
A.P.C. Flannel Over Shirt Red - 146€ @ Trés Bien Shop.
Zara Flannel Shirt - 29.95€ @ Zara.
Gant Rugger Syracuse Twill Check Shirt - approx 85€ @ Gant.
Beyond Fabric suggests…
For these early days of Fall, when the sun still shines and the temperature doesn't make your teeth chatter, here's a cool laid back look for those out of the office moments. The black watch Paul Smith jacket gives a timeless pattern an updated look through the fit and attention to detail we've come to expect from Sir Paul. Its versatility allows you to wear it as jacket or as an overshirt and the woven wool fabric is enough to keep you warm. Underneath and since the jacket has such an expressive pattern, keep it simple with a white oxford button down like this one from Gitman Bros. The shirt is a perfect match for the renowned A.P.C.'s New Standard Jeans, a slim fitting model featured here in a dark wash. Footwear wise, Clarks' Desert Boots will keep the casual feel while making you look more put together; they're available in all sorts of colors but I suggest these in tan leather as you'll be able to wear them with most things in your closet and they work great with dark denim (and the green tones of the jacket).
Paul Smith Check Jacket - (approx.) 320€ @ Por Vocação
Gitman Bros. White Button Down Oxford - 130€ @ Trés Bien Shop
A.P.C. New Standard Jeans - 89,5€ (50% off) @ Wrong Weather (Photo from Context Clothing)
Clarks Desert Boots - (approx.) 85€ @ Clarks (Photo from Prepidemic)

The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Victor Hugo
Admirable, however, as the Paris of the present day appears to you, build up and put together again in imagination the Paris of the fifteenth century; look at the light through that surprising host of steeples, towers, and belfries; pour forth amid the immense city, break against the points of its islands, compress within the arches of the bridges, the current of the Seine, with its large patches of green and yellow, more changeable than a serpent's skin; define clearly the Gothic profile of this old Paris upon an horizon of azure, make its contour float in a wintry fog which clings to its innumerable chimneys; drown it in deep night, and observe the extraordinary play of darkness and light in this sombre labyrinth of buildings; throw into it a ray of moonlight, which shall show its faint outline and cause the huge heads of the towers to stand forth from amid the mist; or revert to that dark picture, touch up with shade the thousand acute angles of the spires and gables, and make them stand out, more jagged than a shark's jaw, upon the copper-coloured sky of evening. Now compare the two.
It was one of those sultry, Parisian evenings when not a breath of air is stirring; the sewers exhaled poisonous gases and the restaurants the disagreeable odors of cooking and of kindred smells. Porters in their shirt-sleeves, astride their chairs, smoked their pipes at the carriage gates, and pedestrians strolled leisurely along, hats in hand.
"Paris" (The Three Cities), Émile Zola
After two months of bitter cold, ice and snow, the city was steeped in a mournful, quivering thaw. From the far-spreading, leaden-hued heavens a thick mist fell like a mourning shroud. All the eastern portion of the city, the abodes of misery and toil, seemed submerged beneath ruddy steam, amid which the panting of workshops and factories could be divined; while westwards, towards the districts of wealth and enjoyment, the fog broke and lightened, becoming but a fine and motionless veil of vapour. The curved line of the horizon could scarcely be divined, the expanse of houses, which nothing bounded, appeared like a chaos of stone, studded with stagnant pools, which filled the hollows with pale steam; whilst against them the summits of the edifices, the housetops of the loftier streets, showed black like soot. It was a Paris of mystery, shrouded by clouds, buried as it were beneath the ashes of some disaster, already half-sunken in the suffering and the shame of that which its immensity concealed.
A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens
Along the Paris streets, the death-carts rumble, hollow and harsh. Six tumbrels carry the day's wine to La Guillotine. All the devouring and insatiate Monsters imagined since imagination could record itself, are fused in one realization, Guillotine. And yet there is not in France, with its rich variety of soil and climate, a blade, a leaf, a root, a sprig, a peppercorn, which will grow to maturity under conditions more certain than those that have produced this horror. Crush humanity out of shape once more, under similar hammers, and it will twist itself into the same tortured forms. Sow the same seed of rapacious license and oppression over again, and it will surely yield the same fruit according to its kind.
Giovanni's Room, James Baldwin
'Well,' I said, 'Paris is old, is many centuries. You feel, in Paris, all the time gone by. That isn't what you feel in New York —' He was smiling. I stopped.
'What do you feel in New York?' he asked.
'Perhaps you feel,' I told him, 'all the time to come. There's such power there, everything is in such movement. You can't help wondering—I can't help wondering—what it will all be like—many years from now.'
A Moveable Feast, Ernest Hemingway
There is never any ending to Paris and the memory of each person who has lived in it differs from that of any other. We always returned to it no matter who we were or how it was changed or with what difficulties, or ease, it could be reached. Paris was always worth it and you received return for whatever you brought to it. But this is how Paris was in the early days when we were very poor and very happy.

'Conference' Pear produces a large crop of fruits with clear white flesh that are ready to pick each September. The long, tapering fruits are packed with an irresistible sweetness and lip-smacking juice that will drip from your chin when you bite in to a ripe one! Because of its outstanding flavour, it remains the most popular pear grown in Britain by a long measure both in commercial orchards and home gardens. It is perfect for you to grow because it is very heavy cropping and when picked unripe, it is great for keeping for 2 or more months. 'Conference' is largely 'self fertile' and will be supplied on Quince rootstock.

|Customer Comments
|Our Comments
|Service rating : Delivery of Conference pear tree was excellent.
Product : Rather disappointed in the bare root tree which was then quickly replaced at the moment it doesn't look any better than the first one most shoots had already turned brown and looked dead, so reseserving judgement and hoping against hope it will recover..
|If it doesn't, let me know and we'll replace from the fresh bare-root stock in autumn.

|The fruit trees I received are very poor quality the packaging needs a lot more attention
the rooting system lacked fibrous roots and they had completely dried out the stems were
brown instead of green which denotes die back I am sorry but the replacement you sent
even after soaking as instructions did not show any potential at all

|No Comment
|Service rating : The delivery was prompt and the snowdrop bulbs were in perfect condition - good sized bulbs with healthy foliage. Well packed and easy to put out into the garden.
Would def order these again. Thank you.
They have transplanted well.
Was a little concerned as the box they arrived in, with the pear tree was open at the top? The order was all there.
Product : Very small - def a case of -'you get what you paid for' - looks very dry and 'weedy' - soaked it overnight as advised and planted it. Don't know whether it will 'take' or ever grow - have to wait and see.
|No Comment
|Service rating : Our first delivery of four trees included a pear tree with no roots. The 'You Garden' telephone operative was very helpful. A replacement tree was despatched promptly. Thank you.

Definition of plutonism in English:
plutonismSyllabification: plu·to·nism
Pronunciation: /ˈplo͞otnˌizəm /
1The formation of intrusive igneous rock by solidification of magma beneath the earth's surface.
More example sentences
- During Early Cretaceous times, there was a significant period of plutonism and crustal growth in the magmatic arc.
- During the mid-Cretaceous a phase of plutonism in Palmer Land caused uplift and erosion that supplied sediment from the arc.
- The coincidence in timing of plutonism and extension along the Zuccale fault superficially suggests that thermal weakening could play a part in facilitating low-angle fault movement as proposed for the Capanne fault.
1.1 (Plutonism) historical The theory (now accepted) that rocks such as granite were formed by solidification from the molten state, as proposed by Scottish geologist James Hutton and others, rather than by precipitation from the sea. Compare with Neptunism.
More example sentences
- Neptunism was eventually supplanted by 'Plutonism', the belief that the rocks and continents came about through the outwelling of volcanic material (larva, which hardened into volcanic rock).
Plutonist noun& adjective
- ( historical )More example sentences
- This view was soon challenged by the Plutonists, who emphasized the importance of terrestrial heat and volcanic activity in the formation of crystalline rocks.
