The bioavailability and clearance of most therapeutic drugs are primarily mediated by cytochrome P450 enzymes, and adverse drug-drug interactions frequently occur because of altered P450 activities. In this article, we describe cytochrome P450 assays that can predict both P450 induction-based and P450 inhibition-based drug-drug interactions at the earliest stages of drug discovery. We focus on assays for the CYP3A4 enzyme, which accounts for about 30% of the P450 in human liver and oxidizes about half of all drugs that are eliminated after prior metabolism. We have developed three luminogenic P450-Glo™ CYP3A4 substrates: Luciferin-BE, Luciferin-PFBE and Luciferin-PPXE. Each substrate is used as a probe for in vitro biochemical assays of recombinant CYP3A4 to detect P450 inhibition by test compounds. Additionally, Luciferin-PFBE is ideal for cell-based measurements of CYP3A gene inductions by drugs. The cell-based assay is rapid and simple and can be performed in a nonlytic mode that leaves cells intact for additional analysis.

Today we are going to make some more brooches! First of all because you can never have too many brooches! Second of all because we need to start thinking about Christmas presents and these little beauties make perfect small gifts for any nature lover! Third of all because these brooches don´t have to be brooches - skip the pin on the back and use them as gift tags!
See, there are a lot of reasons why you should most definitely sew some!
Let´s get started!
We need:
scraps of felt (I used brown, but they would look cute in any color - pssst, I know that they have a passion for looking fancy and standing out in the crowd!)
embroidery floss
bakers twine
Get the deer template here!
Transfer the deer template onto felt. I usually do it by cutting the template out and tracing around it.
Time to start stitching! I used a simple backstitch and three strands of embroidery floss. Once you are done, cut out the deer, but please don´t cut into your embroidery! Glue a pin to the back of the deer.
Take some bakers twine and a bell and decorate that little cutie!
Alternatively punch a hole and use it as the cutest gift tag on the block!
Oh and I didn´t tell you about reason number four why you need to make them - hoop them up! On the piece shown here I used a chain stitch for the body and a satin stitch for the little spots!
So have fun with this pattern and let´s see some pictures!

End-of-the-world survival kit, crafted and designed by MENOSUNOCEROUNO.
Concept Product Design — Not for sale (designed for fun and friends)
If the world ends this year, we better be happily ready. Expecting a beautiful chaos, MENOSUNOCEROUNO created JUST IN CASE ®, the perfect brand for the end of times. An imaginary brand that covers all your basic apocalyptic needs. Our survival kit re-packages a collection of iconic products from Mexico to enjoy in no particular order.
The perfect gift for friends and clients (only the ones we want to keep).
Download and print the template in a cardboard.
Step 1: JUST IN CASE
01 — Basic Water ®
02 — Doméstica Yellow Notebook ® and a pencil
03 — Chocolate Abuelita ®
04 — Xtabentun D'aristi ®
05 — 40 Emergency Black Matches ®
06 — Simple Knife ®
you can download and print the box template. Also we added some other set of objects suggested by friends. Our idea is that you get inspired and create your own JUST IN CASE survival kit with objects you love.
Have fun!,
Satire is my kind of fun. I'm glad the end of the world will include chocolate.
LOL Awesome!
Very nice instructable!
I prefer the need to survive any thing gig. Fishing and hunting with traps and the basic survival first aid kit with herbs and other natural medicines. Know what the weeds are good for.
The plagues in Europe wiped out half the population which is why the survivors and descendents of the other half later flourished. Labor became worth more, land was affordable or free, new technologies took over where before they were ignored.
A kit might help if you know what you really need. Chocolate might be worth more than protein, a lot more.
just so i know what to get.
It's really great that you made this yourself, just for fun with friends, but why don't you describe how you came up with it, how you designed it (what software, what tools), what resources you used to make it to look so well finished that it really looks like a commercial product ready for store shelves... How can a reader duplicate what you have done with another concept, like a wedding survival kit? Now, that would be interesting!
Taking 10 steps to show the handy DIY community of this site how to fold a cardboard box might seem a bit out of place...
PS: A swissknife would be best for survival...
Assembling a cardboard box.
The descriptions of the assembly stages could be better however. The photography is spot on.
We designed it in the spirit of having some fun with end of the world prophecies exploring the concept of branding for unusual circumstances.
We think it could be a fun and unexpected gift for friends.
â hope you like it
Would the kit have TP paper?Would the kit have a J?Would the kit have a smart phone?Would the kit have a note from my mommy to give to all the bad gies saying not to take my kit then kill me?
What will need to do when the kit runs out?Will the kit have a shavel so I can dig a hole to hide from the end of the world?
What do you mean by the end of the world?
World War 3?
We fall into the Sun?
1 billion China people cutting a fart at the sometime someone lites a cig?
In time a small kit will not keep you alive for long.
You will fine yourself robbing others of what they have to stay alive.
People in USSR ate bark off trees to stay alive in ww2.
I appreciate that it's still in the Instructables spirit of things. Cool in that sense, and yes- a fancy box.
May I suggest: If you wanted to be serious, there needs some way to comfortably carry this. Paracord harness could be in the works :p
I guess you can use the chocolate to bribe the zombies (zombies love chocolate, every one I've run into says so)
This is cute, but really won't help you at the end of the world.
I suppose a DIY version would be to get a reusable water bottle, then fill it with candy, stationery, utility knife, etc that all match/compliment the color of the bottle.
I'd replace the basic water with "100 proof water" for the last party ;-)

Twelfth Night Tickets -Show HistoryTwelfth Night or What You Will is a classical comedy written by William Shakespeare that is believed by experts to have been written in 1601-1602. Filled with musical interludes and capitalizing derived from misunderstandings, it is assumed that this comedy was written for celebratory purposes. The first recorded performance of this ever popular play was on 2 February 1602, at Candlemas, which marked the end of Christmastide, otherwise known as the twelve days of Christmas. However, the play wasn't published until 1623, when Shakespeare published his First Folio.
Twelfth Night Tickets -Twelfth Night SynopsisTaking plot elements from English author and soldier Barnabe Rich's short story titled Of Apollonius and Silla which wasbased on a story by Matteo Bandello, an Italian Monk, Twelfth Night is a jovial play that centers on mistaken identities. Set in Illyria, the plot centers on a young and attractive cast of characters. As the farce begins, a young woman named Viola, cross dresses as a man and takes the name of Cesario before entering the service of the Duke of Illyria, Orsino. Viola falls in love with Orsino, despite the fact that he is in love with Oliva, a neighboring countess. When Viola's identical twin, Sebastian arrives on the scene, Olivia falls in love with him but later mistakes him for Viola, who is still crossed dressed as Cesario. Adding to the mix is Olivia's uncle, Sir Toby Belch and conceited Malvolio, the head of her household. Exploring the themes of jealousy and the other madness's that come along with being in love, the play features various exciting elements such as fights, duals, comedy and song.
Twelfth Night Tickets- Tour InformationAside from being adapted to screenplays and television movies, Twelfth Night, or What You Will remains one of William Shakespeare's most popular plays, garnering various productions around the world each year. The vibrant roles in this play has attracted the talents of Award-winning performers such as Peggy Ashcroft and Joan Plowright as well as Paul Rudd.

Samsonite HYPERSpace 30" Expandable Spinner Luggage
Luggage that gets you there faster.
Luggage that proves traveling doesn't have to be a hassle.
We've all been there: lugging three bags down the moving walkway, stopping every few steps to readjust or fight with wheels. That's why we put together the HYPERSpace collection. It's light. Easy to maneuver. And each bag offers plenty of space for all your things. The 30.5" suitcase is the largest in the collection. It expands when you need it, offers 360º wheels, and come with a TSA-approved lock.
360º wheels make traveling effortless.
Luggage needs more than just wheels—it needs wheels that can actually handle airports, parking lots, tiles, carpets and more. That's why this collection offers four Dual Spinner wheels for smoother rolling even when your bag is fully packed. Larger rear spinner wheels make it easy to roll when you need to pull it instead. Plus, enjoy a comfortable handle that pops up fast and locks in place.
Pack right with built–in suiter system, toiletry and laundry bag.
This bag is built to make packing a breeze. Inside you'll find convenient restraining straps for compact packing, a built-in wetpak and mesh pockets. And it comes with great extras like a removable hanging toiletry bag and a suiter system.
Rugged frame and fabric can take years of travel.
We started with a protective honeycomb frame and added rugged Poly/Nylon blend fabric with SamGuard. So it resists stains from oil, dust and water. Weighs just 13.7 lbs. 30.5"H x 20.0"W x 11.0" D
Weight: 13.7 lbs.

Julie Battilana
Julie Battilana is an Associate Professor of Business Administration in the Organizational Behavior unit at Harvard Business School. She currently teaches the second-year Power and Influence course and in previous years has taught the first-year Leadership and Organizational Behavior (LEAD) course in the MBA program. She also teaches in executive education offerings, including Colloquium on Participant-Centered Learning and High Potentials Leadership Program.
Professor Battilana's research examines the process by which organizations or individuals initiate and implement changes that diverge from the taken-for-granted practices in a field of activity, that is, the process of institutional entrepreneurship. Institutions are patterns of acting and organizing that have become so well established that actors perceive them as the only possible ways of acting and organizing. Institutional entrepreneurs, whether organizations or individuals, are actors who initiate and actively participate in the implementation of change that diverges from the institutional status quo in a field of activity. In times like these, when the question of how to reform existing institutions such as healthcare and financial systems has taken on great urgency, understanding the process of institutional entrepreneurship is crucial. Aiming to do so, Professor Battilana's work examines (1) the conditions that enable actors to initiate change that diverges from the institutional status quo, and (2) the process by which they implement such change. She has articles published or forthcoming in Academy of Management Journal, Organization Science, Strategic Organization, Leadership Quarterly, Organization, Research in Organizational Behavior and The Academy of Management Annals, as well as in handbooks of organizational behavior and strategy.
A native of France, Professor Battilana earned a B.A. in sociology and economics, an M.A. in political sociology and an M.Sc. in organizational sociology and public policy from Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan. She also holds a degree from HEC Business School, and a joint Ph.D. in organizational behavior from INSEAD and in management and economics from Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). If left untreated, syphilis can cause brain, nerve, tissue damage, and death. Fortunately, syphilis can be treated with antibiotics.
Syphilis is caused by specific bacteria. It is transmitted through direct contact with a syphilis lesion. This may occur when:
Factors that may increase your chance of getting syphilis include:
Symptoms will depend on what stage the syphilis is in. There are four main stages.
A single lesion will usually appear. It will occur in the area where the infection was originally passed. Common sites include the genitals, rectum, tongue, inside of the mouth, or lips.
It will start as a raised and painless lesion. It will gradually break down to form an ulcer. The ulcer is painless at first with raised edges. It usually last for 3-6 weeks. The ulcer will heal on its own.
Without treatment, the infection may move to the secondary stage. This can happen even if the ulcers are no longer visible.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
This stage is marked by the appearance of a non-itchy rash. This rash may appear as rough, red, or reddish brown spots on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet. It is also possible for different rashes to appear in other places on the body. These rashes may appear as:
The rash may be accompanied by flu-like symptoms, such as:
Untreated secondary symptoms will disappear within a few weeks, but there may be repeated episodes during the next few years.
The infection is still present but there are no symptoms. It may or may not progress to the third stage. Blood tests for syphilis will be positive during this stage.
This stage may begin years after the initial infection. This stage has become very rare in developed countries. In this stage, the infection begins to damage:
Damage can be serious enough to cause death. Symptoms include the following:
Babies born with this infection can have problems, such as deafness, cataracts, brain and nerve damage, and seizures. It can also cause premature births or stillbirths.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
Syphilis testing is part of routine prenatal care. This is done to treat and prevent congenital syphilis.
All people who have syphilis should also be tested for HIV.
Syphilis can be treated with antibiotics. The type of antibiotic and length of treatment will depend on how long you have been infected. Half of those being treated for syphilis will have fever with headache, muscle aches, and other symptoms during the first 24 hours of treatment.
If you have syphilis of any stage, avoid sexual relations until treatment is complete and the infection is cleared up. All sex partners should be notified. They will need to be treated as well.
To reduce your chance of getting syphilis:
It may not be obvious that a sex partner has syphilis. Do not assume your partner is healthy just because you do not see lesions.

Supply a Burmese Village Clinic for One Day
Roll over image to zoom in
Help provide vital health services in rural Burma.
Amidst extraordinary changes in Burma, significant challenges remain: the people of Burma continue to struggle with deep poverty, and suffer from preventable disease and high mortality. Working with community-based clinics that provide free primary health care services to over 160,000 people in Mandalay, Yangon, the Irrawaddy, and Karen state is one of the most effective ways of providing support to the people of Burma. These clinics also conduct minor surgery and provide community health education, both vital, effective services.
Your donation through this Gift That Gives More™ provides the daily essential medicines and supply costs for an entire village health clinic in Burma, each serving populations between 3,000-5,000 people. Medicines include antibiotics, anti-malarials, vitamins, supplements, and a wide range of other medicines to treat illnesses common to the area.
Community Partners International is dedicated to serving the most vulnerable people in Burma/Myanmar's remote villages, underserved central areas, and conflict-affected regions where there is little to no access to health care. Our global network has partnered with more than 60 local organizations, collaborating on community-based health projects and providing health skills training, resources, and technical support.

5 teaspoons
beef bouillon granules, divided
1/4 cup
boiling water
1 1/2 pounds
lean ground beef
1 cup
dry bread crumbs
3/4 cup
minced onion
1 (20 ounce) can
pineapple chunks, drained with juice reserved
1/3 cup
fresh lemon juice
3 tablespoons
packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons
soy sauce
1 teaspoon
grated fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons
green bell pepper, chopped
Yum! Better than the chinese restaurant. The only changes I made were: had no fresh ginger so added a few dashes of ground, and had no green bell pepper so used a yellow one instead. Adding beef bouillon to the meatballs was tasty; I had never tried that before, and they were awesome. The sauce was great too; thanks for a great recipe! UPDATE: Made this again using fresh ginger...much tastier! Although this time I was short on time and used Simek's mini beef meatballs, not as good. I prefer using pineapple tidbits, other than that this recipe needs no tweaks!
This was pretty good but could have used a little more sauce. I baked the meatballs in the oven on a cooling rack over a cookie sheet for 20 mins. at 400 deg. - it's easier than turning them in the saucepan and also collects any fat.

OMG!!! This is an excellent dish!!! I invited friends over and made these meatballs for them. I followed the directions EXACTLY and got perfect results! The sauce was just right (not too thick, not too thin). I used ground ginger because I didn't have fresh ginger on hand (just eyeball it). The meatballs are EXCELLENT served over egg noodles (I prefer noodles instead of rice). Serve with a tossed salad and cold applesauce on the side. These meatballs are very versatile and can be served with a variety of sauces (i.e. Bar-B-Q sauce or brown gravy - just omit the pepper and pineapple!) to change things up a bit. This recipe is a winner for sure. Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!
AMAZING!!! I changed the recipe a little--I didn't have beef bouillon, so that wasn't added at all. For the meatballs I used 1.2 lbs ground turkey and only added 1/3 cup bread crumbs and added a dash of soy sauce and minced garlic. I then cooked the meatballs about 3/4 of the way through in a little bit of canola oil before I added the sauce. I made the sauce exactly how it said minus adding the pineapple chunks at the end. It was absolutely delicious!! I served it over rice! You could add additional veggies to make it a meal--onions, water chestnuts, pea pods, etc. Overall--DELICIOUS!
I made these meatballs for Thanksgiving. We have some in the family who aren't crazy about turkey. I made a double batch and followed the recipe as is , except that after the meatballs were cooked I dumped everything in a crockpot to cook. These turned out great and my husband has already requested them for our family Christmas party.
Very good! I really liked the sauce, although I might add a little more pineapple juice next time. Not too sweet and not too sour!
This meal was pleasant in many ways, although there was not enough juice to our liking. The flavor was splendid! I made this with my grandson, Noah. It was our first endeavor cooking together. We will do more cooking!!! We would recommend this to everyone! We did replace the brown sugar with Splenda brown sugar and no one could tell. It is our secret!!!
I doubled this recipe and used ground pork instead of beef I partialy cooked the meatballs then threw them into the slow cooker with the sauce on low for about 4-5 hours and it came out great! My whole family loved it.

College Education in Southeast Asia
Roll over image to zoom in
"Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened."
~ Buddha
Help keep the flame of education alive by funding higher education for motivated, talented college students in Cambodia, Laos, and Burma.
Countries in Southeast Asia face many challenges, ranging from the economic and military to challenges in the areas of healthcare, the environment, women's rights, the legal system, and many more. While each nation works to define its own future, education is the necessary foundation, both for the futures of motivated young people and for the futures of entire nations.
Through donations and sponsorships, the nonprofit organization Journeys Within Our Community (JWOC) provides university scholarships to deserving students in Cambodia, Laos, and Burma. Each scholarship covers the full cost of tuition and textbooks. Students attend four-year universities where most study business, finance or English.
All scholarship students volunteer for JWOC five to ten hours a week, helping make the many other programs JWOC runs possible. The hope is that many of these students will become future local and national leaders and the idea of giving back will be something they embrace. The education the students get is not just at school. Through volunteering, they see the power they have to make positive change in their own communities.
You can help! This Gift That Gives More™ helps keep the flame of education alive by funding a scholarship for student in Cambodia, Laos, or Burma, profoundly affecting his or her life. Thank you!
Report from the Field
From a JWOC newsletter sent August 9, 2009: "We are proud to announce that this summer 17 students will be graduating from the Journeys Within Our Community (JWOC) Scholarship Program in Cambodia and Laos.
"These students have studied, volunteered and, yes, been an integral part of all of our programs. For them it is an opportunity to change their destiny.
"This is the great opportunity in my life because I didn't expect to have a chance to attend university as I have no financial support. No someone can help me, but JWOC." -- Vorng Vang, JWOC Scholarship Student graduating August 2009.
"Of course, having so many of our students graduating is bittersweet. Many of these students have been with us from the start of the program and have been an integral part of developing our projects. We are proud, though, to see how far they have come and how JWOC has impacted their lives.
"I never thought that a poor girl like me be able to help others who in the same condition or lower than me. But JWOC help me and give me the chance to help others, replace hopeless by hopeful..." -- Somaly Ing, scholarship student graduating August 2009
"With so many students graduating, we are now looking to the next JWOC class. From August 1 through September 30 we will be raising money for a new class of JWOC scholarship students in Laos and Cambodia. We have a goal of 21 new students to start University in the fall under the JWOC Scholarship Program, joining the 48 students continuing with their education.
"Please help us as we continue to offer this chance to students who deserve an opportunity to live a dream they never envisioned possible. Donate today to help us reach our goal of 21 new students!"
All the best,
Andrea and the JWOC Team
Journeys Within Our Community (JWOC) focuses on improving living conditions for people in Cambodia, Laos and Burma.

Taking the tops off whole acorn squash, scooping out seeds and roasting whole until tender. Stuff with goat's cheese and basil, then cook until the cheese has melted.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan, then gently cook 2 finely chopped onions for 5 mins, until soft but not coloured. Add 1kg peeled, deseeded and chopped pumpkin or squash to the pan, then carry on cooking for 8-10 mins, stirring occasionally until it starts to soften and turn golden.
- Pour 700ml vegetable stock into the pan, then season with salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins until the squash is very soft. Pour the 142ml pot of double cream into the pan, bring back to the boil, then purée with a hand blender. For an extra-velvety consistency you can now push the soup through a fine sieve into another pan. The soup can now be frozen for up to 2 months.
- While the soup is cooking, slice the crusts from 4 slices of wholemeal seed bread, then cut the bread into small croutons. Heat the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan, then fry the bread until it starts to become crisp. Add a handful of pumpkin seeds to the pan, then cook for a few mins more until they are toasted. These can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container. Reheat the soup if needed, taste for seasoning, then serve scattered with croutons and seeds and drizzled with more olive oil, if you want.

Comments, questions and tips
Here are some healthy meal tips, to make you happy
Great soup, once you've peeled and chopped the pumpkin..
I used to always use creme fraiche as the cream I use in soups, but I discovered something called Altin kaymac which is a Turkish cream which is less fatty and I find it's great to cook with.
Stuck it in the pumpkin soup and it's great.
A touch of garam massala is also good for the flavour.
This was my first time making pumpkin soup and it was delicious! After reading some of the comments I also added mixed spice which complimented the soup perfectly. I think next time I will reduce the amount of cream a little bit though. It's a really tasty soup which is so simple to make. I can't wait to make another batch! :)

Lewis Hamilton reminded the Formula One world of his chance of stealing the title by finishing quickest in Friday's second practice.
The McLaren driver is fourth in the drivers' championship heading into Sunday's season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, requiring a race win, and a flop from his rivals, to claim the title.
The Englishman clocked a time of 1.40.888 seconds on the Yas Marina circuit, just 0.609 seconds slower than Sebastian Vettel's course record set last year.
Red Bull's Vettel was second in the afternoon session, with a best time of 1.41.145 seconds, more than a quarter of a second behind Hamilton.
Championship leader Fernando Alonso vastly improved on his best time in the morning session, going almost three seconds faster in 1.41.314 in his Ferrari.
Australian Mark Webber was fourth fastest in 1.41.315, with a break to Robert Kubica for Renault, who was 0.688 seconds off Hamilton.
Alonso's team-mate Felipe Massa was sixth in 1.41.583, while all other drivers were more than a second slower than McLaren's Hamilton.
The third practice session will take place on Saturday with qualifying to get underway in the afternoon.

Dim Sum at 彩晶軒 Colour Crystal or V Cuisine?? - An Openrice 4.0 rating restaurant that disappoint big time!
With Openrice giving the 2* Ming Court a 3.9 rating, I was looking forward to trying out this 4.0 rating establishment in TST East with my in-laws.
I was surprised to find the restaurant has two different English names ( V Cuisine on openrice but Colour Crystal on the business card ) sharing the same Chinese name ( 彩晶軒 )?
After two weeks of comparatively great food, this meal finally brought me back to harsh reality! Not all popular eateries in Hong Kong are good and a high rating on Openrice does not guarantee great food!
The dishes we ordered were acceptable to good with no stand outs. However, there were a few notable disapponitments
We ordered the following dishes:
- Har Gow
- Taro Croquettes
- Prawns with Thousand year egg crispy roll
- Pineapple B-B-Q buns
- Braised pig's trotters with peanuts and chui Haw sauce
- Braised chicken feet with abalone sauce.
- Prawns and yellowing chives Cheung Fun
- Braised eggplant noodles
Overall seasoning of the dim sums were good and tasted fairly delicious but construction were 'rough with an edge' The Chicken feet and Pig's trotters were a bit tough and needed more time in the cooking pot! Real disapponitment was the Cheung Fun which has an unacceptable super thick wrapper. Fillings of the B-B-Q pork buns were too sweet and too sparse for my liking. Night and day when compared to either Fu Sing's or Tim Ho Won's version. IMO, only dish worth praising was the Taro croquettes.
This meal put a big??? to the trustworthiness of Openrice rating??!!
Appears that Openrice has become some sort of HK's Zagat - supposedly self-regulating and self-correcting: averaging out standard ratings from a largish pool of reviewers. And like Zagat, it looks like Openrice's rating has been skewed somewhat!
re: tbtb18
Agree!!! Thats why if I am to rate on openrice, I'll give it more like a 3.0 than 4.0!!
With sites like Yelp and OpenRice, I generally flip straight to the photos and use that as the main deciding factor. The rating can help me weed out a bad choice, but it won't guarantee greatness either. For all I know a rating could score lower because of lousy service / decor, rather than lousy food (very common on Yelp).
Appearances can deceive, but I generally have found that with food like dim sum or sushi where it's standardized enough to cross-compare, I can roughly judge how good it will be from a photo.
re: PhilD
Correct...and with the local HK internet and social media mentality, there is a very competitive race to be prolific writer and to get some sort of crowned status with that crowd. With sites like that, people can deem themselves to be instant experts in dim sum, ramen, sushi, curry rice, pizza, and fine dining. There is also a major snobbish attitude with food knowledge in HK, which is highly emphasized unfortunately even by the more famous personalities from the likes of Chubby Michael (young god of eating) and of course loudmouth manly Ah So. Competition to "show off" and brag about knowledge and experience online in those forums unfortunately add to the crud of useless yet misleading information.
You have to tread through the waters and navigate through a ton of crap and BS to truly get a heartbeat and mark of a restaurant. You are better off focusing on finds by those on OR who really know what they are talking about/and or have their own blogs and better yet, have also published books.
In order to complete one's research on a place, start with Open Rice, look at the photos, then use blogsearch on the Chinese name of the restaurant, and see what bloggers have to say, and if you can find online newsprint (Next Magazine, Headline News, Apple Daily etc), so much the better...but food journalists are typically not as dedicated as certain bloggers...and to be honest only a handful of them are on the mark.
whoa that is a heck of an entrance haha...that looks like some NY wedding hall or something
i kind of feel the same way about openrice and yelp, generally i:
1) sort of pay attention to the rating i.e. it will catch my attention with alot of smiles / high rating
2) pay attention to the # of votes (more votes the more accurate it is in general
)3) read the reviews / look at pics (it takes me a long ass time to try to read a chinese review unfortunately and i usually need some google translate help along the way) --> anyhow, I try to pay attention to what the reviews consistently say to order (figure out what dishes are best at the restaurant) + i read the bad reviews. I find when the bad reviews are like "oh i dont like the services" "its too expensive" then whatever its usually good. However when you start finding a bunch of bad reviews that are more specific towards the food then it gets more if-y
its not a perfect system, but its certainly better than like newspapers or something where one or just a few people are judging. I think its right like 75% of the time maybe or something like that, which is good enough to make me at least want to try the restaurant bc more often than not you'll find something good
I looked at v cuisine in TST though and ure right though that one would be hard to decern that it's mediocre

Preview | Recap | Boxscore (Gm. 1) | Boxscore (Gm. 2)Men's tennis set to host Florida Gulf Coast and Stetson
Thursday, March 24, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Mar. 24, 2011) - Following a successful trip to California, the ETSU men's tennis team returns home for conference play as they host Florida Gulf Coast and Stetson, Friday and Saturday at the Buddy Hartsell Tennis Center.
ETSU will first take on Florida Gulf Coast, Friday at 12 noon, before closing the weekend against Stetson on Saturday at 11 a.m.
The Bucs finished third at the Hilton Mission Valley Spring Classic with a 2-1 mark. ETSU picked up wins against Harvard and San Diego State, while dropping a heartbreaker to No. 20 San Diego, 4-3.
The Bucs enter the weekend with a 10-6 overall record and a 4-1 mark in A-Sun play. They are currently tied atop the A-Sun standings with UNF and Campbell as each team has just one loss in league play.
Senior Charles Bottoni (Bois Guillaume, France) has been the hottest ETSU player lately as he is currently riding a five-match winning streak. Bottoni is tied for the team lead in singles wins during dual play with Juan Ramirez (Asuncion, Paraguay), Grega Teraz (Mojstrana, Slovenia), and Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venezuela). Each has recorded eight wins so far in spring play.
Florida Gulf Coast heads into the weekend with a 3-14 overall record and a 1-6 mark in A-Sun play. The Eagles defeated Belmont just last weekend for their first conference win. Dean Tsamas leads FGCU with eight singles wins, while playing mostly at the No. 4 and No. 5 positions.
Stetson comes into the weekend with a 13-7 overall mark and a 5-2 conference record. The Hatters are led by Didrik Berg and Alexander Hackett as both have identical 13-5 dual singles records.
The Bucs have never lost to either Florida Gulf Coast or Stetson since joining the A-Sun.

Today vs the U in the first quarter alone he's already been beat for three TDs in three different ways (speed, height, laziness). Cordarrelle exposed him for his lack of speed as did Phillip Dorsett, Allen Hurns beat him in the corner on a good route, & he fell asleep in coverage on Rashawn Scott.

Supertanium fasteners have been around forever. In the smaller sizes they are 200ksi. I havent laid eyes on one for several years but I'm sure they are still available.
They are pretty common in maintenance departments of plants. The military used to buy a ton of them too.

Hi Guys!
I think this is my first post but I read most of the comments. The reading is very interesting. Thanks to all you contributors!
My Premier Fastener Handbook shows the following:
SAE Grade 5 - three lines - 120,000 psi
SAE Grade 8 - six lines - 150,000 psi
Supertanium - special symbol - 160,000 psi
The psi is tensile strength and shear strength is about 60% of the tensile strength.
If you have a Machinery Handbook or similar reference it will have a section on fasteners but when you exceed grade 8 the data is usually from the manufacturer.
Happy Holidays!

I was looking over this post and saw that no one had mentioned F911 bolts that have ratings up to 180,000 psi. I use F911's in off road applications such as suspension pivot points for a-arms, trailing arms, ect. Normally you can only find these at a "bolt specific" store meaning your local home depot does not carry them. In addition, F911 nuts are only available in pinch nuts not nylocks but you can you grade 8 nylock nuts on them.
If I had a nickle for every time I said "someone once told me"... I would be a rich man. Also consider fine thread grade 8's vs course thread for the side loading strength. Course threads take out up to 25% of the girth on a 1/2" bolt because of the deeper cuts for the treads.
As for AN... I use them but mostly for hydraulics and fuel lines. I have always known them as Army-Navy (someone else told me that also).
Below is a link about F911 bolts. Thanks for the original post because I just found a new place to buy F911's...
Some good reading
Higher grade is not always better.Be safe
Give more than you get and
you will get more than ya need.
This is true for the good and bad
that life puts out.

A great quality jersey, however do order at least one size larger than normal. I ordered the 13-14 for my average sized 11 year old and it's just right. If your child likes wearing their jersey loose, I would recommend buying two sizes larger! ... read more
Very impressed with quality of product. Its made the same as the adult shirt and is just as durable. First of many United shirts to come! Only issue is that its fairly small fitting so had to go up an age. ... read more
The quality and look of the top is exceptional however the sizing is quite small. I bought the size 7/8 for my 7 year old grandson who is average sized. It fits but he won't get much wear out of it and I certainly don't see him still wearing it when he is 8 yrs old... ... read more
Bought for my youngest nephew for Christmas, so not seen it on yet, but it is lovely quality & very stylish. Have to say though, the sizes do run small - my nephew is 10, and tall for his age (just over 5 ft), and I've had to buy the age 13-14, as bizarrely, there is no 12/13 size?! I used the chat function on the website when making my purchase and the agent was very knowledgeable & helpful. I actually ordered both the 11-12 and the 13-14 so that I could measure them both against one of his other football shirts, and then I returned the age 11-12 hassle free, at no cost to me. Also got the additional bonus of 15% off for signing up to the newsletters, so very happy overall!! ... read more

We ordered 11-12yrs and luckily my son is very slim for his age!! He's only 10 and I thought buying the next size up might mean it was too big but I don't think it would go anywhere near some 11-12yr olds! Compared to a Messi10 top that's also Adidas 11-12yrs that we bought from the Trafford Centre, this new top is at least 4cm shorter and definitely smaller. It fits him but won't last as long as I would have hoped for the price! ... read more

lane johnson looked rediculously good...his feet were so good i think he could have put his hands behind his back and just mirrored guys with his legs and kept them at bay...like ck said it was like he way toying with anyone he matched up against...look at some of those stone cold lock down blocks he had in the game the other day...i mean he had guys locked up...only caution i have is i don't really think he faced anyone all that great on the edge in that game...but what he did go against in practice and the game he owned...that kid carries 15 lbs easy on that body...
and i could watch that begin in the middle of the field sprint to the sideline and take out the ball carrier all day on the tipped int and have my jaw hit the floor he looked so sweet doing it...those feet...even when his technique was off his feet were so quick and so good he just made things look effortless...if it was up to me out of everyone at mobile he'd be the top pick...
watching that cat in full sprint to the sideline 4.7 is in play all day long imo...i bet he runs better than 4.8 flat...and at 306...DAMN...

for the love of god get a real freaking mike already!!!
Banks was injured when he had that very underwhelming run of games, esp against Bama. Think it was the calf. Not saying it absolves him completely, but it obviously didn't help.
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better. - S. Beckett
Fwiw, I am thinking that T or CB would be our best bet in round 1, especially if we can trade back a few spots.

not that banks is the best tackling corner...i just think he's more willing...and i really like his feet and his wiry frame on the boundary...i don't see him taking a lot of false steps or being off balance either...i think banks best football is in front of him...
i like alex okafor also a lot but he's more in the 20's range for me...it wouldn't shock me if years from now he's the highest regarded pass rusher in this entire class...best looking pass rushing texas player in a while

Date/Time: Saturday, April 27, 2013 between 10:00 am to 2:00 pm
The Santa Clara Police Department will join with the Drug Enforcement Administration to offer the public an opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by disposing of their dangerous, expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. Members of the community are invited to drop off medications for disposal at the designated location outside the Santa Clara Police Department.
The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.Last September, 244 tons of prescription drugs were turned in at over 5,200 sites operated by the DEA and its thousands of state and local law enforcement partners, including the Santa Clara Police Department. In the five previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners took in over 2 million pounds of drugs, which is a thousand tons of pills.
This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Too often abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from home medicine cabinets. In addition, disposing of unused medicines by flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash pose potential safety and health hazards.
Congress passed the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an "ultimate user" of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering them to entities authorized by the Attorney General to accept them. Additional information is available online: http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_disposal/takeback.

Doggy is the largest manufacturer of dog and cat food in Sweden. The company turned to IBS manufacturing software to streamline is manufacturing process
Mikael Svensson, IT Manager, Doggy explains how IBS software has helped the company gain better control of its supply chain.
Doggy also exports its products to the European market, mainly to Germany, where it has a subsidiary company. In fact, the growing export business accounts for up to 25 percent of Doggy's turnover.
Doggy sells 40,000 tons of pet food each year from its main distribution facility in Sweden, mainly to supermarkets and pet stores. New products are constantly introduced to the market. Food for animals must be of a high quality and meet demanding health standards, no matter whether it is fresh, frozen or processed.
An 'expert panel' of 60 cats and dogs thoroughly and continuously tests Doggy's products. Feedback from these animals is crucial to the activities of the product development department, which focuses on customer satisfaction. If the food is not to the animals' liking, it is back to the drawing board for the product development team.
Managing its manufacturing processes from a customer point of view is extremely important for Doggy. Customer demand-driven manufacturing is the key to profitability and competitiveness.
Doggy's senior management found it difficult to locate information about annual, weekly and daily historic sales figures under the company's legacy IT system. This missing information became a rapidly escalating problem that soon hounded the entire company. The lack of historic sales data harmed the sales team's ability to negotiate additional sales when it came to repeat business, and customer service levels suffered.
Problems with sales order processing created further issues and often led to bottlenecks or out-of-stock situations. Doggy found it was barking up the wrong tree. With such a large chunk of pet food to produce and new products to introduce, Doggy needed a manufacturing software solution that would dramatically improve its manufacturing process and control, as well as promote visibility in its supply chain.
In short, Doggy found significant shortfalls in the information available from its old business system. The company wanted to streamline its manufacturing process, increase turnover, grow its market share, and ultimately, increase profit.
After considering a number of manufacuting software suppliers, Doggy decided that IBS integrated supply chain software offered the right ingredients for the job. IBS manufacturing software is developed to streamline a demand-driven manufacturing process. IBS supply chain management software can also enhance customers' profitability by increasing sales, reducing costs, shortening lead-times, improving customer service, realizing greater efficiency in internal and external processes and offering excellent visibility of management information.
One of the most important factors in Doggy's choice of IBS was the extensive manufacturing software available. The manufacturing software's demand-driven functionality is designed to improve supply chain responsiveness through finite capacity planning, operational tools for controlled capital and lean production, and future demand forecasting.
IBS supply chain software is ideally suited to the food distribution industry and also serves up opportunities for quick Return on Investment (ROI) and measurable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Analyzer software is an extremely useful tool for everyday analysis of operational information and strategic boardroom decision-making. It is geared towards manufacturing, sales, logistics and financials with advanced profitability analysis of both customers and products. The IBS analysis software enables real-time information flow throughout the Doggy organization.
To deliver food products in the quickest, most cost-efficient manner, IBS has provided Doggy with an integrated supply chain solution that automates and optimizes all its processes from manufacturing and warehousing to customer support.
After implementing IBS manufacturing software, one of the most immediate and impressive benefits for Doggy was a vast improvement in production control. The IBS manufacturing solution has allowed Doggy to take charge of its manufacturing process and management is extremely happy with the result. Today, all costs are accounted for and controlled. This has led to an increase in turnover, together with a more flexible and responsive operation that offers improved stock availability.
The reporting functionality in IBS Analyzer software is crucial for monitoring product profitability and product life cycles. Reports and enquiries are produced much faster than before, leaving more time for staff to concentrate on the development of its customer base.
Doggy has seen its customer service levels rise to a stunning 99 percent since implementing IBS supply chain software. Supply chain integration, intelligent planning tools and tight inventory control have all contributed to improved customer service without increasing stock levels.
For Doggy, IBS supply chain management software has provided improved supply chain visibility. This in turn has brought the company closer together with its customers. Doggy's senior management is now truly out of the doghouse and can spend more time running a profitable business.

Background: Native to southern Europe and western Asia, musk thistle thrives in pastures and range lands, in waste areas, stream banks, and roadsides.
Other common names: Nodding thistle
Description: Musk thistle is a biennial or winter annual. Four to six foot tall plants are common. Deeply lobed leaves are distinguished by a dark green blade with a prominent light green midrib. Flowers may be violet, purple, or rose colored. Flowers are typically "nodding" or bent over. Ends of stems supporting flowers are often nearly leafless. Bloom is in June and July.
Control: Several biocontrol agents are available and offer good control. Herbicides can offer good to excellent control when applied between rosette and pre-bud stages.

Grants Pass, Ore. -- All the predictions are leading fire officials to suspect an extremely active wildfire season in 2014.
Fire crews in Grants Pass are testing their response with the area's strike task force. The Rogue Valley Task Force #1 is comprised of Applegate Fire District #9, Rogue River Fire District, Illinois Fire District, Grants Pass Fire & Rescue and Rural Metro Fire Department.
For three day's, these groups will train to protect homes in the area from spreading wildfire.
Lloyd Lawless/ Battalion Chief, Grants Pass Fire Rescue says, "Basically they're working a spot fire that's outside the parameter which is a priority, so they're sending most of their resources to that."
In 2010, the group was called to support agencies in Ashland's Oak Knoll neighborhood to help suppress the devastating wildfire that jumped from a feild over Interstate-5 and consumed 11 homes.
"We could never be too far ahead of the game. It's only going to take one fire in one location that is going to limit our resources and capabilities," Lawless said.
Nearby, homeowners took notice. Pilar Reynolds has lived in the area for more than thirteen years.
"They've been very diligent at responding to calls," she said about their fire response times over the years.
For Battalion Chief Lawless and his crew, it's about doing everything they can now to be ready for what could be one of Southern Oregon's most active fire seasons ever.
