measure of weight, Old English pund "pound" (in weight or money), also "pint," from West Germanic *punda- "pound" as a measure of weight (cf. Gothic pund, Old High German phunt, German Pfund, Middle Dutch pont, Old Frisian and Old Norse pund), early borrowing from Latin pondo "pound," originally in libra pondo "a pound by weight," from pondo (adv.) "by weight," ablative of *pondus "weight" (see span (v.)). Meaning "unit of money" was in Old English, originally "pound of silver."
At first "12 ounces;" meaning "16 ounces" was established before late 14c. Pound cake (1747) so called because it has a pound, more or less, of each ingredient. Pound of flesh is from "Merchant of Venice" IV.i. The abbreviations lb., £ are from libra, and reflect the medieval custom of keeping accounts in Latin.
"enclosed place for animals," late 14c., from late Old English word surviving in compounds (e.g. pundfald "penfold, pound"), related to pyndan "to dam up, enclose (water)," and thus from the same root as pond. Ultimate origin unknown; some sources indicate a possible root *bend meaning "protruding point" found only in Celtic and Germanic.
"hit repeatedly," from Middle English pounen, from Old English punian "crush, pulverize, beat, bruise," from West Germanic *puno- (cf. Low German pun, Dutch puin "fragments"). With intrusive -d- from 16c. Sense of "beat, thrash" is from 1790. Related: Pounded; pounding.

Enjoy All The Orlando Science Center Has To Offer For Only $5 Thanks To The Walmart Foundation
Sunday, August 26 – 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
ORLANDO, Fla. (August 13, 2012) – The Orlando Science Center, in partnership with the Walmart Foundation, has announced the next Walmart $5 Day will be August 26. On that day, guests can enjoy exhibits, giant screen films and live programs for the significantly discounted price of $5. General admission fees are usually $17 for adults and $12 for kids (ages 3-11). For many, this event presents the opportunity to experience the Science Center for the first time.
"Walmart is dedicated to giving back to the communities where our employees and customers work and play, said Steven Daniel, Walmart Market Manager for Central Florida. "Walmart $5 Day is special to us because it provides families a very fun and engaging activity while, at the same time, encourages learning and discovery."
Enjoy all the Science Center has to offer including live swamp critters in NatureWorks, dinosaur fossil replicas in DinoDigs and pinewood derby races in Science Park. And for the littlest learners, KidsTown enables preschool-aged children to explore their world in a town designed just for them. Hands-on interactives include an automotive garage and an orange juice processing plant that invites the joyful, creative play that is so important to the cognitive development of young children. And open all day is Dr. Dare's Lab; become a scientist for the day and perform hands-on experiments under the guidance of a trained instructor.
In between checking out the exhibits, experience movies on the enormous eight-story screen in the Dr. Phillips CineDome. Our newest giant screen film, Rescue, plunges audiences into the hard, but inspiring work of saving lives in the face of a natural disaster. And don't miss your last chance to see Arabia: a journey to the Middle East that combines contemporary scenes of everyday life in today's Saudi Arabia with Hollywood-style recreations of the Arabian past.
This also gives visitors one of their last chances to experience the traveling exhibit PLAY. Immerse yourself in six larger-than-life clubhouse games – backgammon, billiards, bowling, die, dominoes and foosball – and become part of unique multi-sensory experiences that examine relationship dynamics such as friendship, collaboration and empathy. Each game also explores a science concept that supports the activity.
"Thanks to the Walmart Foundation's generous support, it's easier for families to enjoy a day of discovery and wonder," said JoAnn Newman, President and CEO of the Orlando Science Center. "As it's been known to happen, one day at the Science Center can inspire a person for the rest of their life."

6D & 30D, what do they have in common?
March 04, 2013, 03:03:38 PM »
I have been debating buying the 6D. I like the feature set and am interested in having a full frame camera in the collection. Today I am using MFT and the Canon APS-C 7D. the 7D is a remarkably capable camera. I think Canon my have overshot on some of the performance qualities on this camera like frame rate, and buffer size. It falls down on high ISO noise. It's performance here is definitely no longer competitive with current offerings. It's a shame because otherwise the camera is fabulous.
So why the talk of the 30D?
The 6D and the 30D are very close in pixel pitch.
Canon 6D = 6.54 um
Canon 30D = 6.4 um
Canon 7D = 4.3 um
(One thing I didn't yet say is I use my large DSLR, among other things, for wildlife and bird photography. THIS is what has kept me on APS-C for so long.)
So back to this comparison. In a perfect world where we ignore sensor noise, these pixel pitches would indicate that the same lens (say a 100-400) fitted to each of these cameras at the same focal length will result in the 7D getting the most detail followed by the 30D and the 6D being almost the same. Put another way, viewed at 100% in photoshop, a subject (a bird for example) will be largest on the 7D and nearly the same size on the 30D and 6D.
Now with that excursion into hypotheticals done I can cut to the meat of the question. When I upgraded from a 30D to a 50D to a 7D, I never felt like I got some revolutionary increase in resolution. The increase in resolution (decrease in pixel pitch) never really increased my image quality by the amount you would guess from the increase in megapixels. I would describe it this way: I increased megapixels, but the new megapixels weren't as good as the old ones (because of noise) so I didn't really get in increase in print sizes for my bird photographs. I was improving resolution a little bit, but not linearly.
The comparison I want to see, and I can't find anyone doing this, is to set a 7D at ISO 800 and a 6D also at ISO 800 and using the same lens and the same subject to evaluate the amount of detail. At ISO 100, the 7D would probably win, but wildlife photography is rarely done under ideal lighting, so I picked ISO 800. I could just as easily pick 1600 or 3200 where the 6D might easily run away with the win.
How much better are the 6D pixels than the 7D's? Does the improvement in per-pixel quality make up for the decrease in resolution between the two and diminish the APS-C advantage for telephoto subjects?

I really can't comment on the pixel/resolution question but are you sure you want a 6d for birding? It is quite a step down with the auto-focus. While the center point might be very good the others are not for a camera in this price range. There are rumors of a "7D Mk2" coming out this year, might want to see what that brings.

BIFs (birds in flight) will be a bit harder, but even with the 7D, the most sensitive focus point is the center one. In challenging conditions, everyone always uses the center point, so if that is the case, the 6D won't be any more inferior. The bigger tradeoff, in my opinion, is the frame rate. The 7d gets 8 frames per second and a 25 RAW image buffer. The 6D is much inferior, though I can't remember what it is.

Hi Fike,
You raise a good question. I think the DXOMark website can partly answer such questions, if you use the 'screen' mode which compares performance at the pixel level.
It looks as thought the smaller 7D pixel is significantly
than the larger 6D pixel in all major parameters, such as SNR, DR, Tonal Range and Color Sensitivity.
At high ISOs of 1600 and above, the DR of the 6D pixel is very much better. At ISO 800 it's still significantly better, being close to a whole stop better. A 1/2 stop of improved DR is considered to be noticeable in practice.
Even SNR at 18%, for the 6D pixel, is well over one stop better than the 7D pixel at ISO 800, and Color Sensitivity is 2.3 bits better (a 1 bit difference being of noticeable significance).
I remember years ago when I upgraded from the 6mp Canon D60 to the 8mp 20D, the increase in pixel count was irrelevant. What was really noticeable was the lower noise and improved color at high ISOs. However, the 7D has over double the pixel count of the 30D (or the 6D cropped to the 30D format), so I expect that at all ISOs the 7D would provide higher resolution but noisier images.
Whether or not such higher resolution would be significant after noise reduction has been applied to the 7D image, at large print sizes, is another question which can only be answered by someone doing comparison tests. However, the DXOMark comparisons at the link below indicate that the 7D image, when downsampled to the same size as the 30D image, has approximately the same noise, except for DR at low ISOs which is almost a whole stop better at ISO 100, and 1/2 a stop better at ISO 800. But the improvement would be less if one were to downsample the 7D image to a cropped 6D image

The 7D2 should have the necessary 10 fps and adequate buffer, and I imagine that the sensor will have significantly improved high ISO capacity.
Perhaps you want the FF camera for non-bird use? I haven't seen the camera, but the 6D sounds as if it is a decent landscape camera.

A faster frame rate is useful, but the DXO tests imply that the 18 million 7D pixels do not have better high ISO performance than 8 million 6D pixels. In fact, the downsampled 7D image is no better than the 30D image, except for deep shadow noise up to ISO 1600. The 6D pixel is marginally better than the 30D pixel and significantly better than the 7D pixel.

Thank you, C!
Re: AnimationNation - Have No Fear !!!
I gotta disagree on this one. Great speech Charles but you're talking to a brick wall.
Re: AnimationNation - Have No Fear !!!
If Charles keeps making these videos, while creating his dope ass content, he will continue to influence successful people.
Take Stephen Silver. His message is a direct echo of Charles influence. Even if Stephen doesn't want to admit Charles was his teacher and obvious philosophical influence, the fact remains true. I was there to testify.
When you have fists as large and as strong as Charles', you can bust through brick walls effortlessly!
Re: AnimationNation - Have No Fear !!!
Brick walls come down the same way they went up.
Brick by brick.
Recording the video was fun. I forgot to turn on the lights with this one which is why it came out dark but that's okay. It's the message that counts. If it helps some artists out there then great! If not then they still have their jobs if they're happy working that way. Staying at one studio for 20 years is an accomplishment in itself. Should've mentioned that but will find a chance to make that point later on.
Sooner or later even entrenched artists must move on. Develop your brand and your franchise. Create your content. Attract a fan base. Build your independent economy!
The earlier the better. Don't do it out of fear! Do it with happiness and because you enjoy it.

Freedom will be your one greatest work of art. It will take time to master and it starts with the first step.
Sometimes, other people walls get in your way..thats where the big fist comes in handy..hahahaha
or you can just walk around it...or, walk through it like a magician. Depends on your skill level.

Hey guys,
Here's a modification I do for my brother who builds Chevy race engines. A couple years ago, he brought the crossmember from his Buick Regal race car to be modified for the exhaust pipes. They were hanging below the crossmember & he wanted to raise them a bit. He removed the c-member after marking it & brought it to my shop. I plasma cut the lines, ground clean, & cut 3/16" plate to fit & weld. This was a prototype to test for strength during the racing season & after (2) seasons, it was sound as could be....no problems. The fellows he races with saw the mod & wanted theirs done, so he brought me (13) for this season, (10) for his buddies & (3) to have on stock. These are for Chevy & Buick mid-size cars(Malibu/Regal). Here's some pics....

That's funny it looks exactly like my crossmember. My father and I did it about 15 years ago. Except we added a 1/8" strip along the top for extra strength. And we also modified the middle to bolt my TH400 in.

St. Nick and Santa Claus; a name change for Christmas
The jolly Santa Claus we know today began as the devoted and giving Saint Nicholas, the fourth century Bishop of Myra, Greece (now Demre, Turkey), best known as a protector of children, fishermen, merchants, scholars, and a helper to the needy. Legends suggest that he protected communities from famine, rescued marriageable maidens from slavery, and freed the innocently accused. Like our modern-day Santa, he was noted as a miracle worker and a gift giver—it's possible that he also rescued (or at least was part of the reinvention of) Christmas as know it today.
St. Nick has been an important figure for many cultures and religions worldwide; he has undergone many transformations over the centuries. Cultural shifts, Reformation, and patriotic promotions have led to his metamorphosis into Father Christmas, and to celebrating his good deeds on Christmas day. His name evolved due to a number of translations: it's easy to see how his name evolved into Santa Claus from the German (Sankt Nikolaus) and Dutch (Sinterklaes or Sint Nicolaas) translations.
In an effort to introduce more wholesome Christmas traditions to the American household, 19th-century American writers and illustrators created a new identity for Saint Nicholas: one of a round, elf-like "Sante Claus" arriving from the North in a sleigh led by a flying reindeer. Poetry and illustrations proved pivotal to a shift away from the disorderly conduct of the season (public drunkenness and thievery-out-of-boredom, as were popular at that time) and also refocused imagery from the saintly bishop to a red-suited, white-bearded, pipe-smoking American Santa who slid down the chimney to deliver gifts as rewards for good behavior.
This image continued to evolve with the work of popular artists like Norman Rockwell and Thomas Nast, and eventually Haddon Sundblom, who famously created Coca-Cola advertisements that further established and popularized this new image of Santa Claus. It has also been recorded that the inclusion of Santa Claus, a Christmas tree, and the giving of gifts greatly increased attendance in sanctuaries and generally made Christmas a jollier and merrier time.
But no matter what name he bears or outfit he wears—Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas, the historical Bishop of Myra—promotes a season of sharing with others. Here are a few traditions that recall legends about him and are celebrated as part of the Christmas season:
Christmas stockings hung from the mantel
Saint Nicholas legendarily rescued a pair of daughters from being sold into slavery by secretly leaving gold dowry money in stockings left drying at their fireplace.
Fruit in the toe of filled Christmas stockings
The gold St. Nick left as dowry money is often illustrated as gold balls and has come to be symbolized by oranges and apples.
Candy canes
A crozier, or pastoral staff, is a symbol of St. Nicholas. Bishops are known to carry such staffs, hooked at the top like a shepherd's crook, showing they are the shepherds who care for their people.
Gift giving and stockings filled in secret, during the night
Saint Nicholas did his gift giving under cover of darkness, as he didn't want to be seen or recognized.
Season-related concern for the needy
Saint Nicholas notoriously gave gifts to those in greatest need—the young and the most vulnerable. Christmas gifts given to those in need, along with other seasonal contributions to charity, reflect this concern for others.
As a bearer of granted wishes and protector of the poor, Saint Nicholas remains a welcome figure celebrated in many households; many observe his feast day every year on December 6th. In many places this day involves children leaving shoes or stockings by the mantel or on the stairs, in hope that St. Nick will leave them small gifts. (Of course, if they are naughty, they receive coal instead! But that's another story.)

In a time when much of the country sees red whenever the subject of gay marriage comes up, Dan Savage—outspoken author of the column Savage Love—makes it personal.
Dan Savage's mother wants him to get married. His boyfriend, Terry, says "no thanks" because he doesn't want to act like a straight person. Their six-year-old son, D.J., says his two dads aren't "allowed" to get married but that he'd like to come to the reception and eat cake. Throw into the mix Dan's straight siblings, whose varied choices form a microcosm of how Americans are approaching marriage these days, and you get a rollicking family memoir that will have everyone—gay or straight, right or left, single or married—howling with laughter and rethinking their notions of marriage and all it entails.
©2005 Dan Savage (P)2011 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"The strongest argument here, which [Savage] brilliantly plays down, is that family means everything to these people: married, not married, blended, gay, straight, whatever." (Washington Post)
"Amusing, but missed Dan's voice"
A very funny, honest accounting of a little slice of Dan Savage's life. I enjoyed it a lot, but missed Dan's characteristic voice. I know he's busy these days, but I would have liked to have him read this himself.
"Entertaining, but not life changing"
I like Dan Savage, so I enjoyed the book and found it entertaining. I could see that some might find it a bit preachy. My main gripe is that Dan didn't read the book himself. The narrator did a fine job, but didn't sound anything like Dan which was just strange to listen to.
"Thought provoking for anyone thinking of marriage"
Whether you're gay or straight (or somewhere in between) this book is a good read for an objective look at what it means to be married from someone who isn't allowed.
"Proving that logic and love are better together"
I've enjoyed this author's work for many years - so much that I dutifully credit him with important contributions to many of my own best life choices (my younger boyfriend - now husband; our daughter; etc). This is the first of his books that I've read, and it was new to hear that familiar authorial voice - the humor, the fantastic logic, the strong undercurrent of no bullshit compassion - in a longer narrative. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I'm now rightly scared of and in love with his late mother, I looked up Terry's picture - just wow - and I love the Chinese Room at the Smith Tower even more.
Though I enjoy the author's own spoken performances very much, I was impressed by the performer here and very much enjoyed his reading.
I always enjoy Dan's books and this one is no exception. A completely different look at family life. It's funny, profane, serious, and thoughtful all at the same time.
Double margaritas in Saugatuck, observations driving through the midwest, too many to number...
Clear, Formal, Rigid. This is the one thing I didn't like about the book. Mr. Garcia's voice and speech patterns are too formal for Dan's writing style. While his voice is clear and easily understood, it's sort of like your high school english teacher using four letter words...it just doesn't flow naturally given the material.
Book nerd for life!
"Hilarious and Thought Provoking"
I bought this audiobook back in 2012 but just now listened to it. I had no idea what to expect, and I think it actually worked out better that way. Dan Savage wrote about his partner Terry, his son DJ, his loving family, and how marriage does and doesn't work for some couples. His commentary was hilarious, and his conversations with others (mainly his family members) about marriage made great points, for both, straight and same-sex couples. The narrator, Paul Michael Garcia, made the audiobook even more enjoyable. I'm glad I got it and glad I read it. Recommended for anyone who isn't too serious, as I can see some of Dan's writing rubbing the far right the wrong way (especially DJ's opinion of George W. Bush haha)
"Like the book, hate the narrator"
I liked the book. It was very interesting and fascinating information and back story (what happened to the toy poodle's other eye?). However, after reading his columns for years and listening to hundreds of his podcasts, the performance was lacking. It didn't go with the subject matter at hand. The narrator was far too formal for Dan's writing.
The narrator. I didn't like the tone of his voice. Maybe it was the content but the tone of his voice came off sarcastic minus the funny.
Yes I would. I am a fan of Dan Savage and read his column in The Stranger when I lived in Seattle.
Dan Savage can be merciless yet funny. This narrator didn't convey that to me.
Nah. And if it were a movie I'd wait until it came out on TBS.
"Disappointing but useful"
I am a Dan Savage fan, having read his sex advice column for many years. He offers good information that other writers wouldn't dare publish. And like his columns, this book contains a core of thoughtful history and insights on marriage, gay and straight. I learned from him. But, alas, Savage's personal history and relationship with his husband wasn't one to which I could relate -- a series of argumentative, unpleasant encounters, especially when the two of them were on the road with their son. Since the memoir leads up to the decision of whether to get a tattoo or get married, Savage convinced me that they should have the right to the legal and social benefits of marriage, but I couldn't help feeling that perhaps marriage wasn't best for this couple, a feeling cemented by his description of the ceremony.
Perhaps my negativity was compounded by the reader, who read slowly and with overly clear diction. I found him unable to convey the narrative voice and humor of the book in the spoken voice.
I enjoyed listening to the snippets of Dan Savage and Terry Miller's perceptual evolution into the idea of marriage. I have considered some of the points mentioned by Dan and Terry and how they relate within the context of my own life. Which I believe is the mark of a good book and good author. Throw in the perfect narrator for the dialog at hand, and you have a mandala of the evolving family that Dan, Terry and D.J. are creating.
I have listened to the book twice now, and had an even better experience the second time.
Dan Savage is well known to me for his advice column, and his efforts to stop bullying. I often agree with what he has to say, and this book is just another example of his wit, grasp of social dynamics, solid emotional morality, and his willingness to drag poor Terry into the limelight! (You're shameless on that one Dan!)
This book left me with a stronger sense of family (no quotes needed there) and even helped me provide a framework for what exactly I'm trying to achieve with my own marriage.
Absolutely wonderful book!
"Entertaining essays"
This is much more a sequence of connected essays than a novel or story, centred around Dan Savages and his male partner Terry's plans for a 10 years together celebration.
There were a few chapters in the middle where the serious overtook the fun and non US readers may find the references to various political names a little glazing, but for the most part there is a great deal of humour and a lot of insight into being gay in the US and into getting married.
At the time of writing (2004) the US legislature at least, in many, perhaps most of its states regarded homosexuals as second class citizens, and that is probably being generous. I don't know how much has changed there. This is one of those books that would really benefit from a few minutes of appendix at the end with an "update" from the author. Perhaps Audible could note that this sort of "add-on" could be a much more realistic feature in the online downloadable world they trade in.
Well worth the read. If you are in Western Europe, it will certainly leave you wondering why the US thinks of itself as the land of the free, at least for some 10% of if citizens!
"A great insight into gay parenting!"
This is a book of three parts. The first is a bit dull, outlining the circumstances of Savage's life leading up to the 'big question' after ten years with his partner: Should we marry? The vignettes about Savage's family aren't hugely interesting, but they're valuable for context. The middle section is Savage talking about the 'gay marriage debate' in the US, and is interesting as it shows the fire in his argument, and the final section - the most entertaining - tells us 'what happened next'. All in all, worth reading.
I'm a huge Dan Savage fan anyway, but I really loved this book. Something to make you think and to make you laugh.

Marc Hassenzahl explains the fascinating concept of User Experience and Experience Design. Commentaries by Don Norman, Eric Reiss, Mark Blythe, and Whitney Hess
User Experience and Experience Design !
Making thoughts, ideas and plans explicit by writing them down or by developing an artifact, we create situations which talk back to us. For example, architects use the backtalk of their work extensively. When sketching, unexpecting patterns emerge, which are incorporated and maybe elaborated on in the drawing. Thus, the act of sketching is not only the conscious act of sketching the intended subject, but an interplay between the sketcher, the materials and possibly other situational constraints. Herbert Simon's description of the work proces of an oil painter illustrates the point:
"in oil painting every new spot of pigment laid on the canvas creates some kind of pattern that provides a continuing source of new ideas to the painter. The painting process is a process of cyclical interaction between the painter and canvas in which current goals lead to new applications of paint, while the gradually changing pattern suggests new goals." (Simon, 1996)
Situational backtalk is an important part of creative processes and in Sch�n's words, design is a "reflective conversation with the materials of the situation" (Sch�n, 1983). This suggests that externalized representations such as computer programs, oil paintings, and other artifacts are not simple projections of the designer's intention. Instead they are products of the designer's intentions, the materials and situational constraints.
Please note that backtalk of a situation is also known as "situational feedback".

Mighty Diamonds are a Jamaican harmony trio, recording roots reggae with a strong Rastafarian influence. The group, which comprised Donald "Tabby" Shaw, Fitzroy "Bunny" Simpson, and Lloyd "Judge" Ferguson, was formed in 1969, and remains together as of 2010. They are best known for their 1976 debut album Right Time produced by Joseph Hoo Kim, and the 1979 release Deeper Roots. Their first hit singles "Country Living" and "Hey Girl" were recorded and released by the Channel One label. Two of their greatest songs are "Go Seek Your Rights" and "I Need A Roof" both from the mid 1970s. The latter was remixed in a techno style in the mid 1990s. "Pass the Koutchie", written by Leroy Sibbles and Jackie Mittoo, became an international hit twice, when first released (on their 1981 album Changes), and again when it was covered by Musical Youth and released as "Pass the Dutchie". Shaw, Ferguson and Simpson have produced over forty albums in their long career. MINI-ALBUMS and REMIX ALBUMS COLLABORATIONS AND MORE

Here are three reasons you need to know jazz bassist Esperanza Spalding:
- She's been making the rounds of the talk show circuit — Leno, Letterman and more — since late last year.
- She's the first jazz musician to get a Best New Artist Grammy nomination in 35 years and she'll perform on the show Sunday, broadcast on CBS.
- She's as charming as she is talented.
With three distinctive albums behind her, Spalding has been collecting kudos from admirers as different as jazz icons Wayne Shorter and Pat Metheny, and President Obama, who invited her to play at the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize Concert. A gifted bassist, singer and bandleader at 26, she's been paying her dues for more than a decade.
"The nomination was so unexpected — but cool," gushes Spalding, who will also co-host the Grammy pre-telecast ceremony with singer Bobby McFerrin. "The good news is that somebody said, 'Hey, you're more than just in that adult contemporary jazz niche,' "
Spalding graduated from and now teaches at the Berklee College of Music in Boston and says she still sees herself as a student. "I am not deceived by all the hype and attention I'm getting right now," she says from her Austin home, where she was planting Texas bluebonnets in the garden. "I seriously see myself as a jazz student — and I still know nothing. You know, it takes decades. So all the people I'm blessed to work with are my mentors." These would include once and future bandmates such as Patti Austin, Stanley Clarke, Terri Lyne Carrington and former Berklee teacher Joe Lovano — a master's course indeed.
Raised by a single mother in Portland, Ore., Spalding was a home-schooled prodigy who played violin in the Oregon Chamber Music Society from age 5 to 15, when she became concertmaster. She soon picked up the acoustic bass, a discovery she has famously compared to "waking up one day and realizing you're in love with a co-worker." She recorded two albums with the rock band Noise for Pretend while studying with trumpeter Thara Memory at Portland State University, and also received an on-the-job crash course for two busy years.
"The luxury of being a bassist is that people always need them," she says. "I ended up in a lot of situations where people desperately needed one. I certainly wasn't qualified, but I did my best to prepare, showed up on time, played in tune, kept the time straight, and, if they needed someone again, I'd get called back."

I made a lasagna today (Thursday) that will be served on Sunday evening. What will yield a fresher-tasting result: refrigerating or freezing? I know that lasagna keeps in the fridge for about 3-5 days, and this is about 72 hours, but will it taste better/fresher if I freeze immediately after baking?

Seasoned Advice is a question and answer site for professional and amateur chefs. It's 100% free, no registration required.
It is a rather long timescale, but you already made the thing.
I would put it in the freezer for 24 hours, the leave it in the fridge to thaw. That should be right on target for Sunday, without having to worry about infringing any guidelines.
Rather than freezing it after baking, I would assemble the lasagna and freeze it today and then bake it on Sunday. It is rather difficult to reheat a whole baked lasagna from frozen without getting soggy noodles.

Test ID: GD65C
Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase (GAD65) Antibody Assay, Spinal Fluid
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Possible use in evaluating patients with stiff-man syndrome, autoimmune cerebellitis and other acquired central nervous system disorders affecting gabaminergic neurotransmission. Clinical utility remains to be determined.
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is a neuronal enzyme involved in the synthesis of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Serum antibodies directed against the 65-kd isoform of GAD (GAD65) are detected in heightened frequency in a variety of autoimmune neurologic disorders, including stiff-man (Moersch-Woltman) syndrome, autoimmune cerebellitis, some idiopathically acquired epilepsies, some rare acquired encephalomyelopathies with and without neoplasia, and in myasthenia gravis and Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome.
GAD65 antibodies account for the majority of clinically-recognized pancreatic islet cell antibodies, and are an important serological marker of predisposition to type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes. GAD65 autoantibodies also serve as a marker of predisposition to autoimmune disorders that commonly or sometimes coexist with type 1 diabetes, including autoimmune thyroid disease (eg, thyrotoxicosis, Graves' disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, hypothyroidism), pernicious anemia, premature ovarian failure, Addison's disease (idiopathic adrenocortical failure), and vitiligo. GAD65 antibodies are found in the serum of approximately 8% of healthy subjects older than age 50, usually in low titer, but often accompanied by related "thyrogastric" autoantibodies.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
< or =0.02 nmol/L
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Intrathecal synthesis of GAD65 antibody has been demonstrated in patients with stiff-man syndrome, but cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) values are log orders lower than serum. We have not determined the frequency of GAD65 antibodies in CSF of patients with various diagnoses.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test should not be requested in patients who have recently received radioisotopes, therapeutically or diagnostically, because of potential assay interference. The specific waiting period before specimen collection will depend on the isotope administered, the dose given and the clearance rate in the individual patient. Specimens will be screened for radioactivity prior to analysis. Radioactive specimens received in the laboratory will be held one week and assayed if sufficiently decayed, or canceled if radioactivity remains.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Charlotte McGuire Scholarship History
Charlie started the American Holistic Nurses Association after a career in critical care and oncology nursing, because she was disappointed with conventional healthcare. During the time of the founding of AHNA, nurses were suffering, so Charlie sent out the message, "You can come to us (AHNA) for your own healing and your own welfare". She created an organization based on relationships and caring by being that herself. Charlie made nurses feel like they truly had a home at AHNA.
Lynn Keegan, who had assumed Treasurer Responsibilities from Roger Knapp, worked to find donors for this scholarship. She traveled to California to solicit a sizable donation from Charter Member, Barbara Bronstein, and her partner, Harry Kislovich. Their generous donation became the seed money for this fund, which continues to grow and award scholarships on an annual basis.
The Charlotte McGuire Scholarship Fund was first announced in 1984 at the 4th Annual AHNA Conference "Nurturing the Whole Person: Developing Creative and Therapeutic Strategies for Healing" held in Asheville, North Carolina.

Obama turkey pardon video: Watch President Barack Obama pardon Cobbler and Gobbler for Thanksgiving
President Barack Obama took on the annual tradition of pardoning the National Thanksgiving Turkey on Wednesday, with Cobbler the turkey being the lucky bird.
"The only cobbler anyone's eating this Thanksgiving will come with a side of ice cream," the president said in the Rose Garden at the White House.
This year the choice was between Cobbler and Gobbler, two 19-week-old, 40 pound birds. Elementary school students in Rockingham County, Virginia-the native area of the turkeys-chose the names.
While one of the turkeys is recognized as the National Thanksgiving Turkey--chosen for the first time by the American public through an online contest this year--the president traditionally pardons both turkeys, one serving as an alternate.
"If for some reason Cobbler cannot fulfill his duties as the official White House Turkey, Gobbler will be waiting in the wings," Obama said.
With the turkey gobbling away nearby, Obama teased about new beginnings.
"They say that life is all about second chances, and this November I could not agree more," he said, joking about his re-election. "So in the spirit of the season, I have one more gift to give and it goes to a pair of turkeys."
Following the pardoning, the turkeys will be taken to George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens, where the winning turkey will be on display for visitors during "Christmas at Mount Vernon." They'll stay on the property after the holidays.
The birds grew up on a farm near Harrisonburg, Virginia under National Turkey Federation Chairman Steve Willardsen's supervision.
This year marks the 65th anniversary of the turkey presentation.
In his remarks, Obama also thanked the troops overseas and asked Americans to remember the victims of Superstorm Sandy, which killed dozens in the U.S. and wreaked major devastation across the Northeast last month.
Concluding his comments, the president gave one final blessing to the turkey.
"You are hereby pardoned. Congratulations, Cobbler," the president said. "You'll have a great life."
