Freezing Fat: Weight Loss Treatment Zeltiq Approved by FDA
New Treatment Freezes Unwanted Fat Cells, Doctors Say It Won't Replace Diet and Exercise
If you can't diet or exercise it off, you can now try to freeze or zap it off. The Food and Drug Administration gave the green light for new weight loss treatments: one that freezes fat cells and another that uses a low-energy laser to shrink them.
For those that have a few annoying extra pounds or a bit of a bulge in all the wrong places, Zeltiq, may be the answer. Cleared last week by the FDA as a body contouring treatment, it uses a gel patch attached to a machine that freezes unwanted fat cells, causing them to self-destruct and get re-absorbed into the body over several months.
On the market for about a year, the drug was originally approved by the FDA to anesthetize and cool the skin before dermatology procedures. But doctors found that the device worked in the battle of the bulge as well.
'This is a big deal,' plastic surgeon Lawrence Bass told 'Good Morning America.'
'It's the first time the FDA has cleared a non-invasive fat-reduction technology.'
Former dancer and avid exerciser Lisa Pittonyak was a Zeltiq customer eight months ago to combat 'my lower abdomen little pouch that I have.'
'It's always bugged me, my whole life,' she said. 'At first it was a strange pulling feeling, a little painful,' she said. 'And after about five or 10 minutes, you basically get numb.'
Although she's only lost about half an inch, she said she feels better about her body and that the $1,500 price was worth it.
'Bathing suit, summer time, the jeans, wearing tighter clothing,' she said, ticking off the reasons how Zeltiq worked for her. 'And not feeling like I have that little bulge.'
New Fat-Fighting Treatments Hitting the Market
In addition to Zeltiq, the FDA also cleared another weight-loss method called Zerona, which aims a low-energy laser at troublesome areas, forcing the fat cells to empty in a matter of weeks.
'They certainly don't replace diet and exercise,' Bass said, 'but they're another option for a subset of patients that just need to take a little bit off.'
The FDA clearance can mean a bonanza for marketers who can use that for pronouncement in advertising. The fat-freezing device has been used 'off label' for fat-busting. It's manufacturers have solid scientific evidence to support its effectiveness in freezing on average 22 percent of the fat layer reduction. It's mostly for people of normal body weight with just a few nagging trouble spots.
The laser device, in contrast, is the first of its kind to receive FDA clearance which means, while safe, the body of scientific evidence is less robust and less well-documented. But unlike liposuction, these treatments are non-invasive, meaning there's virtually no down time and very little physical risks.

There is a lot being written about how businesses are preparing for the fiscal cliff, but the tax increases taking effect in 2013 unless Congress acts are going to affect almost everyone.
Dave Rumple, of Rockford's Rumple's Tax Accounting & Consulting Service, said there are lots of variables to consider by the end of the year, but he listed some general advice.
"Higher income families, specifically those whose income will exceed $250,000, should be going against traditional tax planning logic and accelerating income and deferring deductions," Rumple said in an email.
President Obama campaigned specifically on raising the tax rates of upper income earners from 36 percent to more than 39 percent, the level the rates were in the President Clinton years. Republicans are vowing not to approve any tax rate increases.
Rumple said anyone who may sell investments in the next couple of years should do it now. The Capital Gains tax is set to rise from 15 percent to 20 percent.
"No matter what, capital gains should be taken in 2012 because I am fairly sure that no matter what the changes are, capital gains will not receive as good of treatment as they do currently."
Rumple said families should be more aggressive in 2012 on their medical bills.
"The threshold of medical deductions goes from 7.5 percent of income in 2012 to 10 percent of income in 2013, so it will be much more difficult to gain a benefit in this area."
The major tax increase that will hit most Americans is the expiration of the 2 percent temporary payroll tax reduction.
"All families should be ... planning for their budgets on the assumption that the two percent temporary social security tax cut will expire, and how they will deal with that. If this payroll tax cut does not get extended every family's net take home pay will decrease."
This increase will affect about 120 million people.

Tampa, FL (June 21, 2011) A yet unidentified component of coffee interacts with the beverage's caffeine, which could be a surprising reason why daily coffee intake protects against Alzheimer's disease. A new Alzheimer's mouse study by researchers at the University of South Florida found that this interaction boosts blood levels of a critical growth factor that seems to fight off the Alzheimer's disease process.
The findings appear in the early online version of an article to be published June 28 in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. Using mice bred to develop symptoms mimicking Alzheimer's disease, the USF team presents the first evidence that caffeinated coffee offers protection against the memory-robbing disease that is not possible with other caffeine-containing drinks or decaffeinated coffee.
Previous observational studies in humans reported that daily coffee/caffeine intake during mid-life and in older age decreases the risk of Alzheimer's disease. The USF researchers' earlier studies in Alzheimer's mice indicated that caffeine was likely the ingredient in coffee that provides this protection because it decreases brain production of the abnormal protein beta-amyloid, which is thought to cause the disease.
The new study does not diminish the importance of caffeine to protect against Alzheimer's. Rather it shows that caffeinated coffee induces an increase in blood levels of a growth factor called GCSF (granulocyte colony stimulating factor). GCSF is a substance greatly decreased in patients with Alzheimer's disease and demonstrated to improve memory in Alzheimer's mice. A just-completed clinical trial at the USF Health Byrd Alzheimer's Institute is investigating GCSF treatment to prevent full-blown Alzheimer's in patients with mild cognitive impairment, a condition preceding the disease. The results of that trial are currently being evaluated and should be known soon.

Is the new domain squatting technique to grab a well known brand name and wait for them to come offering cash to give it up? Well, that's a theory I wanted to look in to after reading Erik J. Heels notes that 93 of the top 100 global brands aren't in control of their brand names on Twitter
I decided to do some investigating using the UK Superbands list. I picked out the Top 50, worked on the most likely version of their name on Twitter (using the current brand domain name such as TheAA.com for AA).
The result is below and I think we can draw some interesting thoughts from this but no hard conclusions
In an era where brand is increasingly important, can these household names afford to have their brand "owned" by someone else in the increasingly popular world of Twitter where Word of Mouth rules? Or is Twitter not the place for a brand to engage with it's customers?
Erik has done a lot more work on this than I have time for but check the list below to see how badly our so called UK top brands fare.
I work for a local authority and our name has been squatted, along with lots of other local london authorities (I checked).
I work for EcoSearch - we are headhunters in the Renewable Energy space and we pride ourselves on being ahead of the curve when it comes to online communication.
We have secured @EcoSearch despite the fact that there is a search engine with the same name. We were very surprised to see that ecosearch.org were not tweeting.
It's an interesting question - why does the German auto manufacturer BMW have any more right to the twitter name @BMW than a guy called Brian M. Westbrook - I think it's a bit unfair to say he's 'squatting'.
I go by my initials in a few places (though not Twitter) on the web - why should he give that up just so they can sell more cars?
This is like the "squatting" that happened with domain names back in the day. Unfortunately, it's a little too much like it.
As @Rich noted above, assuming that someone is squatting just because they have a Twitter moniker that is the same as a brand name is unfair. They might have a last name the same as the brand name, or initials that render the same. Or, they could simply be a superfan who chose to ID themselves by their obsession.
Waterford Wedgwood (without an e) went into administration in early Jan, along with its subsidiary Royal Doulton, so your Wedgewood attribution is likely wrong, and the whole group has more worries that its Twitter ID.
Rich & Kat
totally agree with you that BMW has no more right to the name and I made it clear in my post that I use squatting here pretty lightly - not suggesting the current owner has any less right at all hence why I said
"Though I have listed many that seemingly aren't under ownership of the brand as having squatter status, that's no slight against the owners most of who are legit "
fair point but I could argue that this is the precise time when Waterford Wedgwood should be owning it's brand to at least keep some control over what is said about it in these difficult times.
the brand still exists despite their adminstration so I don't think the attribution is wrong. Adminstration doesn't necessarily mean the end of the brand and for someone with a heritage like Wedgwood their brand will far outlast our lifetimes I'm sure.
A couple of weeks ago I did some musing about what Twitter ought to do in order to address this, before it is forced to by a big multinational demanding it does...
another case software and law colliding. He says punting his survey.
Hi Steve - point taken, and rereading your post it is clear that you're not being judgemental. I guess 'squatting' has certain connotations and is quite an emotive term!
The currently active, Wedgewood (mispelled) and Wedgwood (correctly spelled) Twitter accounts are Domain Squatters. We are aware of the issues and are working with our Legal on a Cease & Desist on the users account.
The "Real" Waterford and Wedgwood brands are currently pursuing a Social Media Strategy which will include strong community involvement on Twitter.

Hi Leisa - thanks for reposnding. great to hear you're actively pursuing a strategy that involves Twitter!

Each nanonet transistor consists of numerous strips of nanotubes, separated bylines that are etched in place. The lines are easy to create with a standard etching process used in the semiconductor industry.
Future research may include work focusing on learning the reliability of the carbon nanotube circuits.
The research has been funded by the National Science Foundation through the Network for Computational Nanotechnology at the Birck Nanotechnology Center in Purdue's Discovery Park. The Illinois portion of the research also was funded and supported by the NSF, U.S. Department of Energy, Motorola Corp., and by the university's Frederick Seitz Materials Research Lab, the Center for Microanalysis of Materials and the Department of Chemistry.
The researchers used computers made available by a global network called the nanoHUB, an Internet-based science gateway that provides computer-based resources for research and education in the areas of nanoelectronics and nanoelectromechanical systems and their application to nano-biosystems.
"This work requires tremendous computing resources because these are not trivial calculations," Alam said.
Nanoelectronics focuses on creating a class of electronic devices containing features measured in nanometers, equivalent to one-billionth of a meter. A nanometer is about the size of 10 atoms strung together.
The Network for Computational Nanotechnology uses advanced theory and simulations to explore new ideas for digital switching devices such as innovative types of transistors that promise to help researchers create future electronics.

Wendy McElroy on Violence Against Women on the Dr. Laura Schlessinger Radio Show
Recorded: Thursday, February 6, 2014
Research Fellow Wendy McElroy appeared on the Dr. Laura Schlessinger radio show. McElroy discusses the falsified research, or so-called advocacy research on such topics such as college rape and domestic violence. The results, she says, is hysteria on college campuses and demonization of black males. Flawed statistics from this research have been used in legislation such as the Violence Against Women Act, according to McElroy.

Dress for Less: Where to Rent Party Clothes
Ugly sweater parties aside, the holidays are filled with dinners and soirees that demand formal attire. What with wish lists in one hand and travel bills in the other, there's precious little left in the budget for guys and gals who want to show off new duds. The solution may lie in a rental. Renting designer clothing for a special evening is an easy way to save a buck and/or dress like a million. We identified several businesses that cater to such aspirations.

There are pros and cons to renting eveningwear. On the plus side, past users say they've enjoyed the experience of wearing something they'd never be able to afford, the knowledge that they're being a little "green" by reusing clothing, and the absence of closet clutter created by items worn just once or twice. Moreover, dresses arrive cleaned and pressed, and renters in a hurry can usually choose one- or two-day shipping. Dianna Baros of The Budget Babe also notes in a post that appears on the Oprah site that renting coddles to fashionistas' fickle tendencies. But she cautions about the downsides. Getting starry-eyed over high-end labels can lead to spending more than seems reasonable, she points out, and the available frocks may not be sufficiently on trend. Moreover, sizing varies by designer, making the number on the label somewhat unreliable.
The online rental options for high-end party clothes are geared more towards women than men. Rent the Runway is one of the better-known clothing and accessory rental services. It offers dresses in a variety of colors, styles, and sizes for $30 to $450 for a four-day period, or eight days for 1.6 times the starting rate. The high end may seem like a lot for a short-term rental, but the gowns going at that rate typically retail for $3,500 to $6,000. There are scores of dresses and gowns to sort through, and if that seems unmanageable, clients can take pictures of clothing (or even just a color swatch) they like using the Rent the Runway app and the service will find similar garments to rent. As for sizing, Rent the Runway provides a little wiggle room by offering a back-up size free of charge and store credit (minus the cost of shipping) for dresses that do not fit. It also rents jewelry ($5 to $225) and handbags ($10 to $400) to complement the evening's outfit. Rent the Runway's newest offering is a subscription service that allows members ($49/month) to borrow up to three pieces of jewelry, outerwear, handbags, or seasonal items at a time.
Lending Luxury follows a similar business model but generally charges lower rental fees. Garments can be sorted by size, length, price, occasion, color, or designer and are priced from $50 to $195 for five-day rentals, although there are also options for 10- and 15-day rentals. Lending Luxury carries tops and bottoms and sells all of its inventory as well as new versions of items if shoppers wish to buy rather than rent. This garment rental service charges renters for return shipping and doesn't include a second differently-sized item when you rent. It will ship a second item of equal or lesser value if your rental doesn't fit, but you are responsible for shipping fees.
A new site called Vow to be Chic has also surfaced, trying to tackle the problem commonly known as "the bridesmaid's dress." A variety of styles and colors are offered, all priced at $95, $110, or $125. After submitting your measurements and picking a dress, the site sends two sizes to try on. You return the one that doesn't fit right away and the one that does after the wedding using prepaid shipping labels.
Frugal fashionistas looking for designer bags to match the borrowed dress can turn to Bag Borrow or Steal, of Sex and the City fame. The bags are rented by the month, with fees ranging from $50 to $600 per month and most falling in the $100 to $199 bucket. Bag Borrow or Steal also cleans and repairs handbags, sells used merchandise and new jewelry, and buys handbags.
Men seeking online rental options for the big night out can turn to The Black Tux, which rents tuxedos, suits, vests, and even shirts, ties, cufflinks, shoes, and more. They can also visit one of the many brick-and-mortar retailers, such as Men's Wearhouse, that rent suits and tuxedos. And of course, men can check out their own closets. Except for the most fashion-forward, they rarely object to donning a suit that's been hanging around for years.

Best Reasons to Own Cooking Books
Best Reasons to Own Cooking Books from Overstock.com. Even with the internet, traditional cookbooks are still useful for casual and serious cooks alike.
After years in the advertising business, Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito decided to leave their day jobs and open a bakery in Red Hook, Brooklyn. Baked opened in January 2005 to instant rave reviews. The authors have been featured on Oprah, the Food Network, Martha Stewarts daytime show, and the Today show. The bakery has been reviewed in countless magazines, both local and nationwide. Lewis and Poliafito live in New York City.
Tina Rupp is a New York?based photographer who specializes in photographing food and children. Her work can be found regularly in Food & Wine, Everyday with Rachael Ray, and Parenting magazines.
Hip. Cool. Fashion-forward. These arent adjectives youd ordinarily think of applying to baked goods.
Think again. Not every baker wants to re-create Grandmas pound cake or cherry pie. Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito certainly didnt, when they left their advertising careers behind, pooled their life savings, and opened their dream bakery, Baked, in Brooklyn, New York, a few years back. The visions that danced in their heads were of other, brand-new kinds of confections . . .
Things like a Malt Ball Cake with Milk Chocolate Frosting, which captures the flavor of their favorite Whoppers candies (and ups the ante with a malted milk ball garnish). Things like spicy Chipotle Cheddar Biscuits that really wake up your taste buds at breakfast time. Things like a Sweet and Salty Cake created expressly for adults who are as salt-craving ?as they are sweet-toothed.
Which is not to say that Lewis and Poliafito sidestep tradition absolutely. Their Chocolate Pie (whose filling uses Ovaltine) pays loving homage to the classic roadside-diner dessert. Their Baked Brownies will wow even the most discriminating brownie connoisseur. And their Chocolate Chip Cookies? Words cannot describe. Whether trendsetting or tried-and-true, every idea in this book is freshly Baked.

I looooove Genevieve. I can't decide if I like the French or English pronunciation better. They're both beautiful! It's a classic, and works well for every age. Lots of cute nicknames too! Geni, Vivi, Evi are just a few.
I'm not a fan of Indigo. It's OK for a middle, but I wouldn't use it as a first. Maybe it's because I knew a dog named Indigo, but never a human.Proud furmom to:

[0001] This application claims priority of the German utility model application 202 10 451.6 filed Jul. 5, 2002 which is incorporated by reference herein.
[0002] The invention concerns a drive system for an automatic stainer for staining specimens.
[0003] In the microscopic examination of specimens, it is often necessary to mark certain parts or properties of the specimen by staining. In this way, for example, the structure in cells and tissues can be differentiated and made visible in high-contrast fashion. In order to emphasize structures selectively, it is necessary to adhere to certain staining procedures, called the "staining program," which depend on the particular preparations to be treated and the specific properties to be examined within the preparations. In practical use, a standard staining process has proven successful (in addition to various special stains) for this purpose. In this so-called H.E. staining process, the specimens pass through a number of processing stages using xylene, alcohol, eosin, hematoxylin, acetic acid, and water.
[0004] Since the staining process is often very time-consuming, it is advantageous to stain a large number of preparations in a single staining program or to automate the entire staining operation. In the staining of histological preparations for microscopic examinations, for example, the physical and chemical properties of the structures in the cells and tissues are utilized for the binding of certain dyes. Both natural substances and synthetic dyes are used for histological stains.
[0005] A number of types of automatic stainers, which automatically convey the specimens to the respective processing steps, are used for staining specimens. The automatic stainers differ in terms of their mechanical configuration and manner of operation.
[0006] DE 41 17 831 and DE 41 17 833 disclose several automatic staining methods and apparatuses. In an automatic stainer of the Mediate company, a specimen slide holder containing the specimen slides with histological preparations is transported into treatment stations located one behind another. The preparations are then lowered into a treatment station (called a "trough") and have applied to them an additional up-and-down motion that promotes complete staining. The motion mechanism of this device comprises two panels equipped with notches for receiving the specimens. One of these panels is located in front of the troughs and the other is located behind them. The two panels are each mounted on the frame of the device using a cross-type guide. A motor moves the panels, via a crank, in the vertical direction in order to extract the specimens from the reagent containers and lower them into the reagent containers. A second motor moves the specimens by way of a crank, when they have been extracted from the reagent containers, horizontally over the next reagent container. There they are lowered by a motion of the first motor. A third motor moves the panels, via a cam panel, vertically up and down in order to continuously mix the reagents. In this embodiment, two cross-type guides and three motors are required in order to perform the motions necessary for the staining process. The corresponding parts for motion transfer, and a number of sensors for each motor for position sensing, are additionally needed.
[0007] Also disclosed by the Shandon company is a staining device operating on the so-called carousel method. Here the treatment stations are arranged in a circle one behind another. The sequence in which the treatment stations can be traveled to is accordingly predefined.
[0008] U.S. Pat. No. 3,691,988 discloses a staining device for staining preparations that has a straight-line guide above the staining baths. A guide block that carries a number of preparations is arranged displaceably on this guide. That number of preparations is positioned by means of a chain drive, together with the guide block, over the desired staining bath and then lowered into the staining bath.
[0009] U.S. Pat. No. 4,911,098 additionally discloses an automatic staining apparatus that, using a gripper, can automatically lower into a staining bath a number of preparations that are to be stained. A tilting mechanism is provided for the gripper so that the chemical substances can easily drain off from the specimens being stained.
[0010] It is the object of the invention to propose an improved drive system for an automatic staining device, with which good staining results can be obtained even at high throughput rates.
[0011] According to the present invention, this object is achieved by way of a drive system for an automatic stainer comprising a motor (16); a side wall (40) for carrying specimens to be stained; and a first crank system (12) and a second crank system (14) each coupled to the side wall (40) and connected to the motor (16); wherein the motor (16) drives both the first and second crank systems (12, 14).
[0012] The drive system for an automatic stainer is thus characterized in that a motor is provided which is connected on the drive side to a first and a second crank system. The crank systems are in turn coupled to a side wall of the automatic stainer that is designed to carry specimens. By way of this drive configuration, the first and the second crank system can be set in motion upon operation of the motor. Since the two crank systems are coupled to the side wall, the motion of each of the crank systems is transferred to the side wall. It is thus possible, using a single motor, to transfer to the side wall of the automatic stainer a motion generated by the motor, different motion curves thereby being transferred via the two crank systems to the side wall of the automatic stainer.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the two crank systems are mounted on a base frame of the automatic stainer. The crank systems each have a rotatably mounted shaft. Arranged at each of the end faces of the shafts are levers that extend parallel to one another. Each of the levers can have, at one of its ends, a rotatably mounted roller. The motor is advantageously arranged between the two crank systems, and on the drive side is in working engagement with the crank systems. The working engagement is preferably created by way of a toothed belt that runs from the motor respectively to the first and to the second crank system. With these two toothed belts, it is correspondingly possible to impose synchronous operation of the two crank systems.
[0014] To allow transport of the specimen preparations that are to be stained, there is provided on the automatic stainer a side wall which has notches that are recessed, for example, into panels of the side wall. The two panels are arranged parallel to one another and are joined rigidly to one another via transverse connections. At the two ends, each panel possesses a guide track. One of the crank systems can engage in each of these guide tracks, so that the motion of the crank system can be transferred to the frame. The guide track is preferably recessed into the frame by the fact that elements into which the guide track is recessed, in particular is milled, are attached onto the side wall. Advantageously, these guide tracks have two surfaces that slope outward.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the rollers that are mounted rotatably on the cranks run in the guide tracks. Thus as soon as the motor begins to rotate, the rollers arranged and rotatably mounted at the ends of the cranks describe complete circles. Without additional actions, this complete-circle motion would of itself be transferred correspondingly to the side wall. In order to lower the specimens that are present in the reagents vertically into the reagent containers and also pull them vertically back out, this complete-circle motion is trimmed. For that purpose, a gate is mounted rigidly on a base frame, and into it engages a peg that is attached to the side wall.
[0016] With the use of the drive system according to the present invention, transport of the specimens in the automatic stainer can be accomplished using a single motor. The side wall does not require a separate guide, since the drive mechanism that converts the rotary motion of the motor simultaneously provides guidance of the panels.
[0017] Further advantages and advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject matter of the Figures below and the descriptions thereof, in which true-to-scale reproduction has been dispensed with in the interest of clarity. Specifically:
[0018]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the drive system according to the present invention; and
[0019]FIG. 2 shows a side wall of the automatic stainer that can be coupled to the crank system.
[0020]FIG. 1 shows the drive portion of an automatic stainer 10 in a perspective depiction. The drive system for automatic stainer 10 is implemented by way of a motor 16, a first crank system 12, and a second crank system 14. The two crank systems 12, 14 are connected to motor 16 on the drive side and are driven by toothed belts 18. The two crank systems 12, 14 are of substantially identical construction.
[0021] Four bearing blocks 28 are attached for this purpose on a base frame 26. Ball bearings 29 are pressed into bearing blocks 28. Two shafts 20 are mounted rotatably by means of ball bearings 29. Levers 19 are mounted rigidly on, in particular pressed onto, each of the ends of shafts 20. At the free ends of levers 19, a ball bearing 13, onto which a roller 17 is set, is provided on a pin 11.
[0022] Between bearing blocks 28, toothed-belt pulleys 15 are arranged on shafts 20. They are joined rigidly to the respective shaft 20. From toothed-belt pulleys 15, toothed belts 18 run toward motor 16. A double toothed pulley 32 that drives toothed belts 18 is mounted on motor shaft 30. Displaceable tension pulleys 34 can be provided for tensioning toothed belts 18. Mounted rigidly on shaft 20 of second crank system 14 is a coding disk 36 with which an angle code can be identified and thus the exact angular position of shaft 20 can be ascertained. For that purpose, coding disk 36 can have, for example, an imprinted code that can be read by sensors. These sensors can, for example, be arranged on a board 38 or associated with board 38. It is correspondingly possible, using this coding disk, to identify the respective present position of the entire transport mechanism, and thus to control the motion of the transport mechanism. Board 38 can, for example, be attached to base frame 26 using an angle bracket 39.
[0023]FIG. 2 shows a side wall 40 that can be coupled to the two crank systems 12, 14. Side wall 40 has two panels 44 that form a lateral boundary of the side wall. The two panels 44 are fixed in position with respect to one another at their long-side ends by transverse connectors 43 in such a way that they are aligned parallel. On each of panels 44, guide tracks 24 are provided at the two lower ends. Advantageously, these guide tracks are machined into so-called assembly elements 41 that are connected immovably to panels 44 and thus to side wall 40. The assembly elements can be produced from any suitable material, in particular from sheet metal or a strong plastic. Guide track 24 extends in an outward-sloping fashion. As also depicted in FIG. 1, a gate 22 is additionally attached to base frame 26. Gate 22 possesses a milled-in gate guide track 24 in which a peg 46, attached to side wall 40, can engage.
[0024] As soon as motor 16 is put into operation, the drive-side connection of motor 16 to first and second crank system 14, 14 causes levers 19 to be moved out of their lower position. Because of the connection of side wall 40 to the drive system, side wall 40 follows that motion until peg 46 comes to a stop against the outer boundary of gate guide track 48 of gate 22. At this point, panels 44 and therefore frame 40 are lifted vertically upward. Levers 19 continue to describe their circular path, and rollers 17 follow outward under guide track 24 of guide 41. Since guide track 24 is tilted outward, a horizontal force component is created which pushes pin 46 against the outer side of gate guide track 48. This prevents any horizontal motion of panels 44 during the lifting operation. As soon as roller 17 located on lever 19 approaches the upper reversing point of its circular motion, upper point 47 of guide track 24 snaps back onto roller 17. Side wall 40 then once again follows the circular path of rollers 17 until pin 46 touches gate guide track 48 on the other side of gate 22. From that point on, side wall 40 moves vertically downward.

Who didn't see this day coming?
On Sunday, in the midst of all of her birthday gratitude, Jennifer Williams tweeted some subliminal isht that might have flown under the radar:
Then she threw out this gem, which most people who care about such things automatically assumed was about her Reality TV BFF Evelyn Lozada.
Ever the one to let herself be amped up by the words of "non mothereffin' factors," Ev allowed Twitter instigators to bait her into a response.

World's smallest battery; the anode is dwarfed by a human hair
Scientists at the Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque have built the world's smallest battery. The battery's anode, the part through which its current flows, is a single nanowire, a mere one seven-thousandth of the thicknes of a human hair. In other words, miniscule.
The battery, described in a new paper in the journal Science, a rechargeable, lithium-based battery was formed inside a transmission electron microscope, a microscope that uses electrons instead of light.
"This experiment enables us to study the charging and dicharging of a battery in real time and at atomic scale resolution, thus enlarging our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms by which batteries work," said Jianyu Huang, who led the team that worked on the project.
The group's work at Sandia's Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies could lead to improvements in cell phones, laptop computers and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles.

Expert Comments:
Thibaut Lepouttre, Caesars Report (9/16/15)"Lincoln Hill's access to existing infrastructure makes Rye Patch Gold Corp. interesting. . .we are convinced the key to unlocking additional value is in the metallurgical test work, which is currently being conducted. If the company would be able to increase the gold recovery to 85% using a crusher, the effect on the NPV will be huge considering an additional 35 Koz gold could be produced at just a marginal extra cost."
Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (9/11/15)"Rye Patch Gold Corp. has filed a demand for arbitration with Coeur Mining, claiming Coeur shorted it on its Q1/14 payment of royalties from the Rochester mine. . .if successful and the attendant legal fees don't drain any ruling of its value, the extra cash will help the company continue to pursue exploration and development on its nearby Lincoln Hill property. Regardless of the ruling, Rye Patch will continue to receive more royalty payments from its net smelter royalty on Rochester. That non-dilutive source of cash, combined with a portfolio of intriguing Nevada projects, makes Rye Patch a solid speculation at current levels."

Thibaut Lepouttre, Caesars Report (7/23/15)"We were amazed by the quality of Rye Patch Gold Corp.'s exploration projects as the company now has four irons in the fire. . .but what probably was even more interesting to see was CEO Bill Howald's unlimited enthusiasm when talking about the projects. He is a guy who definitely knows what he's doing and Howald is determined to make this work, even in the low gold-price environment we're experiencing right now. Sometimes it's not just about the horses in the stable, but about the jockey who's riding them."

Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (3/26/15)"Rye Patch Gold Corp. is gearing up for a 5,000m drill program on its Patty gold project in Nevada's Cortez Trend. . .to the south of its Garden Gate Pass property, which in turn is adjacent to Barrick Gold Corp.'s 15 Moz Goldrush deposit. Time will tell if this area has similar potential. . .we'll definitely watch this upcoming drill program with interest."
|read more >
Matthew Sheppard, Jacob Securities (2/11/15)"Rye Patch Gold Corp. has dedicated a large part of 2015's $5M budget to advancing the Lincoln Hill, Garden Gate Pass and Patty projects. The company is clearly focusing on the projects where it believes the most value can be added and has identified some exciting targets."
Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (12/11/14)"Rye Patch Gold Corp. remains in a strong position thanks to the 3.4% net smelter royalty (NSR) it holds on the Rochester mine in Nevada. . . with a steady source of financing coming from the Rochester NSR, Rye Patch can continue exploring its properties for some time to come."
|read more >
Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (10/9/14)"With a 3.4% net smelter royalty on the nearby Rochester silver mine, Rye Patch Gold Corp. is in the enviable position of having a steady source of nondilutive cash flow to finance exploration on its Nevadan properties. If the recent results from Gold Ridge are any indication, the company should be able to parlay that cash flow into news flow for some time to come."
Matthew Sheppard, Jacob Securities (9/16/14)"Rye Patch Gold Corp. released results from its 2014 drill program at the Gold Ridge project. . .highlighted holes include GR-17, which intersected 0.67 g/t gold and 28.5 g/t silver over 19.8m, as well as hole GR-125, which intersected 1.3 g/t gold and 12.2 g/t silver rover 10.7m. . .[the drill program] was successful in extending mineralization 500m to the north."

Global Mining Observer (7/24/14)"Rye Patch Gold Corp.'s bright-eyed chief executive William Howald went on a Geological Society field trip in 2011 to Coeur Mining Inc.'s Rochester mine in Nevada, when he spotted a clerical error in Coeur's mining claims. Rye Patch staked the ground, notified Coeur and settled the dispute by taking a 3.4% royalty over the mine, projected to produce over 4 Moz silver this year and 30 Koz gold."
Matthew Sheppard, Jacob Securities (7/7/14)"We view Rye Patch Gold Corp.'s PEA for the Lincoln Hill project as very positive and it has driven a significant increase in our overall corporate NAV estimate for the company. Our NAV6% estimate for Lincoln Hill has increased from $1.4M ($0.01/share) up to $28.3M ($0.19/share)."
Ben Kramer-Miller, Seeking Alpha (7/6/14)"Rye Patch Gold Corp. released a PEA showing robust economics for the Lincoln Hill project. . .I think the PEA is a game changer that adds substantial value to the company even in a pessimistic scenario. . .the company has quietly become a rarity among gold exploration stocks in that its NPV on a discounted cash flow basis exceeds its market capitalization."
|read more >
Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (5/1/14)"Rye Patch Gold Corp. reported that its Rochester mine generated 750 Koz Ag and 8.192 Koz Au in Q1/14. . .this will allow the company to fund ongoing exploration of the nearby properties it holds along Nevada's Oreana Trend. Having a non-dilutive source of cash at your disposal is a fantastic asset to have in today's market."
Matthew Sheppard, Jacob Securities (4/29/14)"Rye Patch Gold Corp. reported FY13 financial results: the company ended the year with CA$7.9M in cash and cash equivalents and net working capital of CA$7.6M. . .Rye Patch ended the year with a significant cash position due to the Rochester settlement and contractually was entitled to receive its first cash payment of the 3.4% royalty two weeks ago, further increasing the strength of its balance sheet."
Thibaut Lepouttre, Caesars Report (4/21/14)"Rye Patch Gold Corp. is about to receive its first royalty payment. . .it has announced an update on the production status of the Rochester mine in Nevada, operated by Coeur Mining Inc. Rochester produced approximately 750 Koz silver and almost 8.2 Koz gold during Q1/14, and Rye Patch should have received the first quarterly payment of the 3.4%net smelter royalty it holds last week. . .this is a historical moment for Rye Patch, as the royalty payments will allow the company to fund its exploration expenditures on its own properties in Nevada and to top up the treasury again."
|read more >
|read more >
Jay Taylor, Gold, Energy & Tech Stocks (12/13/13)"While the settlement with Coeur Mining Inc. was a bit of a disappointment, a look at Rye Patch Gold Corp. as it stands post settlement suggests it presents exciting upside potential without much dilution in the near term. It currently has working capital of about $8M and it has recently rolled out projections of the 3.4% net-smelter royalty it expects to receive from the Rochester mine as part of the settlement of the claims dispute. . .the financial position strength gained from this good fortune is a positive on top of some promising gold properties that provided the initial justification for adding this name to my list. . .as I look at impending cash flows starting in 2014 combined with a currently strong balance sheet and a share price of around $0.16, it seems like an opportune time to upgrade it once again to a Buy."
|read more >
Brien Lundin, Gold Newsletter (Jefferson Financial) (10/24/13)"With projects located near major gold producers, any precious metals that Rye Patch Gold Corp. is able to delineate on its projects should be easily sellable. . .it's a great strategy for a junior, as it eliminates the need to finance the high costs of taking a deposit into production. Thanks to a recent settlement with Coeur d'Alene Mines that is projected to deliver about $32M to Rye Patch through the end of 2017, the company will have a steady source of funds to support its exploration efforts in Nevada."

This is the best stew ever. I made it with pork and it was great. We use to have a land of lakes cookbook, but it was lost during our last move. I was soooooo happy that I found your site and this much loved recipe!
Family approved!, A decent tasty hearty meal.
this is a rich warm, wonderful stew... I make it on snow days, sad days and days we need to feel warm and fuzzie!!!
Wonderful winter meal. I also make it in a cast iron dutchoven- I like it better that way- I got the recipe out of one of the LandoLakes cookbooks. It has such a unique and yummy flavor.
a good hearty stew,
Delicious. It smelled so good cooking that even our house vegetarian temporarily reneged and had a bowl.
My family loves this dish! It is great on those bone chilling cold days. Great for family get togethers.
It takes a while to make, but it's well worth the effort.
This was an easy meal to toss together in the morning and have waiting when I got home. It was every bit as tasty as promised

EVANSTON, Ill. --- More than 30 years ago, when Northwestern University chemist Richard Van Duyne developed a powerful new sensing technique, he never thought he would be using it to learn more about treasures in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection -- including a watercolor recently featured in the museum's exhibition "Watercolors by Winslow Homer: The Color of Light."
In Homer's watercolor "For to be a Farmer's Boy," painted in 1887, some of the red and yellow pigments have faded in the sky, leaving that area virtually without color. Van Duyne, Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry in the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, is working with Francesca Casadio, a conservation scientist at the Art Institute, to determine what the original colors were.
To solve this mystery, they are using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), the analytical technique pioneered by Van Duyne in 1977. SERS uses laser light and nanoparticles of precious metals to interact with molecules to show the chemical make-up of a particular dye.
SERS is a variation of Raman spectroscopy, a widely used technique first developed in the 1920s. What sets SERS apart is its ability to analyze extremely minute samples of organic dyes; some samples are so small they cannot be seen by the naked eye.
Organic dyes are natural substances that were used to color artworks created before the introduction of synthetic dyes in the late 1800s and 1900s. That's a lot of art -- from Egyptian textiles to Renaissance tapestries to Impressionist paintings and beyond.
Because red dyes are easily damaged by light and fluoresce when probed with conventional Raman spectroscopy but not by SERS, Van Duyne and Casadio have been focusing on organic red dyes in particular, working to identify those used in Homer's painting as well as in a variety of textiles, such as a 16th century carpet from Istanbul and a rare textile fragment from Peru, dated f

Here's the word on celebrity breakups
Hollywood splits follow a well-known script, full of words like "amicable," "family," "best friends" and "privacy." Here, we round up a selection of some recent ones. In January, Hilary Duff and former NHL player Mike Comrie said we don't, and opted for "an amicable separation," per their statement. And, of course, "they remain best friends and will continue to be in each other's lives. They are dedicated to loving and parenting their amazing son, and ask for privacy at this time."

The man tipped to become Australia's next prime minister has ditched his 'Mad Monk' tag and softened his macho image to turn around his conservative party's fortunes ahead of September 7, 2013 election. Tony Abbott, a former trainee Catholic priest, boxing enthusiast and monarchist, has in the past been known as a political hard man of the Liberal Party, unafraid of speaking his mind and occasionally tripping up on a gaffe.
