Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals' Dockett involved in incident with Kerry Rhodes
Arizona Sports (KTAR 620-AM) has confirmed there was an on-field incident between Darnell Dockett and Kerry Rhodes towards the end of the game Sunday, and it will likely lead to the disciplinary action being taken towards the defensive lineman.
When asked about the matter on Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf, Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt would not divulge much information.
"We generally prefer to keep internal matters like that within the team and not discuss them publicly," he said. "I think we're going to continue to do that going forward."
Sources close to the situation say that Dockett reportedly spit in Rhodes' face late in the game as the Jets were nearing the Cardinals' goal line.
The same sources indicate that Dockett could be facing a one-game suspension without pay for his part in the incident.
Tuesday morning, Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com wrote a blog post including a quote from Rhodes who says Dockett didn't spit in his face, but there was an incident.
Rhodes was arguably the best defensive player in the game, collecting a pair of interceptions and a forced fumble to go along with six tackles.

IRGC drones bomb mock enemy bases in missile drill
Tue Jul 3, 2012 8:26AM
On Tuesday morning, IRGC's long, medium and short-range missiles targeted "simulations of the transregional forces' airbases" in the northern Semnan Desert.The domestically-produced missiles include Shahab (Meteor) 1, 2, 3, Khalij Fars (Persian Gulf), Tondar (Lightning), Fateh (Victor) and Zelzal (Quake) as well as Qiam (Uprising). Deputy Commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hossein Salami said the missile drill was a firm response to those who threaten Iran with the option of military action. He added that the "main aim of this drill was to demonstrate the Iranian nation's political resolve to defend [its] vital values and national interests." In recent years, Iran has made great achievements in the defense sector and gained self-sufficiency in essential military hardware and defense systems. MYA/GHN/HJL

I Liked Scrooge Better Before: 3 Christmas Movies I Hate
If you can't afford all those kids, stop having them, Cratchit. You're lucky you have a job.
December 27, 2012 - 7:00 am
Years later, my aunt confessed that she'd hated "having" to host these yearly get-togethers as much as I'd dreaded attending them.
And here I'd thought that part of being a grown-up meant you could more or less get out of doing things you didn't want to do.
That's how I've approached my adulthood, anyway.
So these days our Christmases, such as they are, involve one fairly hasty meal with bits of my husband's family — my own relatives being now either safely dead or estranged.
Our house is poinsettia- and tree-free on account of our cat.
Besides exchanging gifts with my husband and devouring too much Costco panettone, the holiday season isn't that much different than the rest of the year.
Our Christmas movies are The Hebrew Hammer (see below) and Die Hard, which we watch between Food Network marathons, during that no-man's land between the 25th and the 1st.
I avoid what may be the most popular of all the Christmas movies, though — partly for what I'll pompously call "ideological" reasons and partly because I grew up watching two of them in heavy rotation anyhow.
The first one I'm writing about, I more or less lived.

The maximal abelian subextension determines weak mixing for group extensions
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Weak mixing is an important property for group extensions because its absence is the principal obstruction to lifting a large number of stronger mixing properties. Whether or not an extension is weakly mixing can be determined by studying the sub-extension corresponding to the quotient by the commutator subgroup. Several conditions equivalent to weak mixing are given. In particular, an extension by any group with no abelian factors (for example any nonabelian simple group) is automatically weak mixing if it is ergodic. The proof uses spectral multiplicity theory.

It's a considerable distance from Mystic, Conn. to San Diego, Calif., and also a long haul from southern California to the Canadian border – especially if you're traveling on foot.
Mystic native Hilary Sueoka and her boyfriend, Dan Stedman, are scheduled to arrive in San Diego later this week via various forms of motorized transportation, and then, after being driven a few miles farther south to the Mexican border, they plan to strap on backpacks and start hiking on The Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCT).
Five months and 2,650 miles later, after having crossed terrain ranging from scorching deserts to frozen mountain passes, as well as some of North America's most extraordinarily scenic wilderness areas, the pair hopes to arrive at Manning Park in British Columbia, Canada.
"It's something I've always wanted to do," Sueoka, 26, said in a telephone interview the other day from her home in Boulder, Colo, where she has been living since graduating from Colorado University in 2009 with a degree in ecology and evolutionary biology.
Always active and adventurous, Sueoka has worked in various outdoor education jobs, including teaching sustainable farming and most recently, at Eldora Mountain Resort 's ski school outside Nederland, Colo. That's where she met Stedman, 28, a Pittsburgh native who earned a degree in aerospace engineering from Penn State but decided, like Suoka, that life is more enjoyable on the trail than behind a desk.
The two decided to plan a long hike together and about a year ago agreed on the PCT, which along with the Appalachian Trail on the East Coast is one of the original National Scenic Trails established by Congress in 1968.
The PCT, which traverses 25 national forests and seven national parks, varies in elevation from just above sea level at the Oregon-Washington border to 13,153 feet at Forester Pass in the Sierra Nevada. It also passes through the Laguna, San Jacinto, San Bernardino, San Gabriel, Liebre, Tehachapi, Sierra Nevada, and Klamath ranges in California, and the Cascade Range in California, Oregon and Washington.
While thousands of hikers and horseback riders tramp over various sections of the PCT every year, only about 200 through-hike the entire distance, as Sueoka and Stedman intend to do. Such an expedition requires considerable planning, including caching food and sometimes water.
Sueoka said she and Stedman are preparing about 35 mail drops to friends and general delivery post offices along the way.
Over the past few weeks they have been busy gathering supplies and dehydrating food to conserve pack weight and fuel during cooking on the trail.
"We'd like to keep our packs under 30 pounds," she said.
Though the PCT had a reputation early on as extremely difficult because of remote sections where it was difficult to resupply, the Internet and cellphones have been a big help.
"It's gotten a lot easier," Sueoka said, because hikers can tap online resources. In addition, like the Appalachian Trail the PCT has a corps of generous volunteers known as "trail angels" who often leave food and water along the trail and even offer accommodations and other support. Sueoka and Stedman already have lined up trail angels who will put them up in San Diego and then drive them to the trailhead at the Mexican border.
The two hope to average about 20 miles a day – more on long, flat stretches and fewer on tough climbs, including a possible detour to 14,505-foot Mount Whitney in California, the tallest peak in the contiguous United States.
Stedman has hiked extensively, including an excursion of nearly 500 miles on the Colorado Trail, but Sueoka's longest backpacking trip has been five days.
She's up for the challenge and eager to get started.
"It'll be a real adventure," she said.
Sueoka plans to keep in touch with friends and family on the trail, calling and posting on Facebook whenever possible. She grew up in Mystic and graduated in 2005 from The Williams School in New London, where her mother, Nancy Spillane, was a chemistry teacher. In 2011 The National Science Foundation named Spillane an Einstein Fellow and she is now living in Washington, D.C.
I also hope to provide periodic updates of Sueoka's progress. It will be the trip of a lifetime, and I wish her and Stedman good luck, good weather and above all, a good time.

Jose Manuel
Update on Jose ManuelJosé Manuel is 39 years old, a widower, and lives with his children (ages 20, 15, 13, 10, and 5) in the neighborhood of San Temistocles in the canton of Ventanas.
The Communal Bank "Narcisa de Jesus" is located in the neighborhood of San Temistocles, which is in the canton of Ventanas. This group consists of short-cycle farmers who grow corn and rice.
José Manuel is a farmer who has been growing corn for six years. He buys his supplies in Ventanas and sells his products at the market in the same place. The loan he is requesting will be used to buy seeds and fertilizers for growing corn. This will be a great help with increasing his income for the consumer needs of his family and for investment. His dream is to buy a solar panel system so that he can build a house.
In his free time, he enjoys relaxing and conversing with his children.

Additional Information
About Cooperativa San JoseThis loan is administered by Cooperativa San Jose, a 45,000-member credit union located high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador's poorest province, Bolivar. They offer a unique loan called "Ventanillas Rurales" [Window to the Countryside], which uses a group guarantee but is an individual loan with a savings component, mostly to rural borrowers. Due to low savings rates and a history of macroeconomic instability, many traditional loans in Ecuador demand interest rates that are prohibitively high for some borrowers. There is also a high incidence of extortionist black-market lending in Ecuador. CSJ helps mitigate these problems by providing a less onerous and more appropriate option. Join CSJ's Lending Team!
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

I believe that you're great, that there's something magnificent about you. Regardless of what has happened to you in your life, regardless of how young or how old you think you might be, the moment you begin to think properly, there's something that is within you, there's power within you, that's greater than the world. It will begin to emerge. It will take over your life. It will feed you. It will clothe you. It will guide you, protect you, direct you, sustain your very existence, if you let it. Now, that is what I know for sure. In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

There are sacrifices involved. While you don't have to sacrifice all of everything, you will have to sacrifice a lot. Never forget that. Never pretend that it comes easy. Never envy or hate those who have done it or proclaim that it was so much easier for them if you are struggling. It's difficult. It's grueling. Sometimes, it seems like the most difficult endeavor you have ever begun. But you are not alone and it can be done. Failure isn't falling down. It's remaining where you've fallen.

before that you should look up some informations
you probably noticed that in my work it is often hard to distinguish if im using a zbrush model or just painined it all in photoshop
reason for that is simple.
my realism rendering is greatly based on 3 d rendering processes.
by this i mean as i learned 3d i became aware of the stuff we usually visually take for granted.
qualities of material, importance of reflectivity, ambient occlusion, and subsurface scattering.
to any 3d artist these are everyday terms, while 2d artists usually paint them without often even being aware of wheat they are really doing
for instance , a 3d artist will at any given point use 2 types of shadows. cast shadows from a direct lightsource, and ambient occlusion shadows which naturally appear more intensively the closer planes of an object are together.

2. Have you ever had a boyfriend/girlfriend? If so did you kiss? (Why? cause I can )
I've had two! And yes, to answer your second question X3
3. What would you do if the Earth suddenly cracked right in front of you and your best friend and you had the option of saving he/she from falling into the hole which, by the way, is filled with lava and risking your own life or run? (dont ask)
Wow Interesting question But I would definitely risk my life to save her. In fact, it doesn't have to be a best friend, I would do the same thing for any of my friends! But mind you, I definitely wouldn't just jump blindly in to save my friend I would definitely a
Sorry again........but I made a few new characters. I am going to name them, put info about them and then I would like for you guys to ask them a few questions. If it's not too much trouble, that is....:iconfluttershyplz:Sorry again....3 years ago in Personal More Like This
Marth - Marth is a lot like Flirty. You could say a rival to Flirty! Except, unlike Flirty, he talks dirty ALL the time and seduces any hot chicks to....ahem......."celebrate together". He has deep blue hair and green eyes and he always carries roses with him, so he can "get with the girls"
Anthony - Anthony is the younger brother of Marth. He is a very, VERY rude guy and swears A LOT. He even flips the bird at random people just for the fun of it. He is never friendly with anyone, and never will be. That could explain the reason why he's always alone. He's rather sarcastic and smug when he wants to be. Anthony has deep red hair with yellow eyes. Sometimes, he would carry a bat with him in case anyone insulted him
Peggy - Peggy is a real moody girl, this one. She is very shor

1. Whats your favourite but weird thing to do?
Sometimes I wonder if my habit of analyzing fictional characters is weird.
2. Have you ever had a boyfriend/girlfriend? If so did you kiss? (Why? cause I can )
Yes to both.
3. What would you do if the Earth suddenly cracked right in front of you and your best friend and you had the option of saving he/she from falling into the hole which, by the way, is filled with lava and risking your own life or run? (dont ask)
I'd try to save my friend, of course!
4. Do you have a favourite anime? If so, what would you do if your favourite character came up to you and asked to be your friend?
Yes. If Hikaru Shidou (from Magic Knight Rayearth) asked to be my friend...well, how would I be able to resist?! She's so cute and sweet!
5. Are you getting bored?
No, not really.

character. Here's her info:
Bad Medic
Bad Medic's real name is Haley. She's an expert at medical skills and can heal someone in 10 seconds flat. Maybe less! She knows medicine more than all the medics we all know and will know if a medicine is poisoned or not right and all that. BUT, like Anthony, she's really rude and swears a lot. Although she's a pro at medical stuff, she prefers to kill instead of heal. Her mentor was none other than the Medic we all know in TF2! She was only 12 when she started her training. But when she reached 20, she tried to find a reason to be alone with the Medic and killed him, never to be seen again. She then was replaced as the new Medic. But with all the swearing, rudeness, killing her victims brutally, and hating to have friends, she was known as Bad Medic. Though, she prefers people to call her Haley. Bad Medic *
What Happens at the Bowling Alley....To be completely sure, I am not one who harbors any violent tendencies. However, I can be provoked. When I am, there's always a very good reason behind my responses. When some snot-nosed, twelve year old toothpick of a boy at the bowling alley decided to waltz up, and for whatever reason steal my brand new forty dollar felt fox-ear hat right off my head, and saunter off into the boy's bathroom, well, that's just not going to stand. MIND YOU, I don't know this boy. I've never met him in my life, but GOD, you could smell the arrogance on him. Of course, I went after him, I don't know what made him think I wouldn't come into the boy's bathroom if he's got something of mine (obviously, none too bright). I screamed at him a little bit, and he hid behind the door, which I used to squish him, at least twice I slammed it into him. Then, I opened it, cornered him, put on my meanest, ugliest face, and demanded that he give it back. Little git nearly lost his fluids. And other bodily wastes.

When he came back I told him that it was ok that he took so long and that I was just worried about him because, what girlfriend wouldnt be worried for her boyfriend. What he said to me next was really surprising and it kinda worried me a little more. He said "trust me, it would by my fault if you lost me." Of course I r

Notes on Character Design
I received the question pictured below at my tumblr blog. In case it's useful to anyone here, I decided to go ahead and use this otherwise dormant journal to share the article I put together in response.
Character design and drawing are tome-sized topics and even if I had all the answers (I don't - I have a lot to learn), I'm not sure I could communicate them effectively. Here are some thoughts an ideas that might help, though.
First, some general things...
- Relax.
Let some of that anxiety go. This isn't a hard science. There's no wrong way,
Which Yu-Gi-Oh! Show I love the mostWell everyone! I have watched three out of four yugioh series. I have finished Yugioh DM, Yugioh 5D's and I'll soon finish GX too. Well I haven't watched Zexal yet and for the time being I don't find it...THAT attractive! (well eventually I might watch it) Well I came to this conclusion! If I put them in the top three of Yugioh favourites I would say that this would be the orderWhich Yu-Gi-Oh! Show I love the most3 years ago in Personal More Like This
1. Yu-Gi-Oh! (DM and Zero)
2. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
3. Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
Well GX is also interesting and stuff and I liked the funny Judai/Jaden but still it doesn't have the mystery and that great sunspence the other two have (only personal opinion!) Therefore the two left are my top two. Now which one I like the most and why?...Well...Yugioh original is the top to me! I admitt that 5d's had really impressive effects and really great storyline but still the original is far better to me for the following reasons!
1. The original includes the ancient Egyptian mystery and since I am kinda obsessed with egyptian mystery well.

He was used to the pain by now; he turned onto his side and stared at a picture on his bed side table. Dam you Allie you said you'd come back for me. The tears almost streaming down his face, "I miss you why did you have to go? "He was almost choking over the tears, Allie was Tom's older sister she was 9 years older than him they were both miss treated by their parents hit and sometimes burned. And worst of all they didn't know why as soon as Tom and Allie got home their mum would be waiting for them. She would smile at them like nothing had happen but there was always an Erie silence as there mum would softly say to Allie follow me and locked Tom in the front room. All he could do was sit.

The Public Art of Civil War Commemoration: A Brief History with Documents (Bedford Series in History & Culture)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In his intriguing examination of Civil War remembrance as a public art, Thomas Brown uses civic monuments, ceremonial oratory, historical reenactment, and other forms of commemoration to explore how Americans have addressed issues of nationhood, race relations, gender, and cultural continuity in periods of social and economic upheaval. Drawing on the latest scholarship, Brown provides an informative narrative frame for 24 rich primary texts that range chronologically from the Gettysburg Address to recent debates over display of the Confederate flag. The volume includes more than 30 illustrations of public monuments and mass-circulated prints to help students learn to interpret visual evidence. A chronology of Civil War commemoration, questions for consideration, and a bibliography provide strong pedagogical support.
About the Author
THOMAS J. BROWN is an assistant professor of history and assistant director of the Institute for Southern Studies at the University of South Carolina. He is the author of Dorothea Dix, New England Reformer (1998) and coeditor, with Martin H.

the hour watchby Crispin Jones $210.00
- the story
Every Second Counts
Athlete Graeme Obree knows every second counts - he is, after all, a highly-acclaimed speed cyclist. But with this watch, his input on the design also offers a constant reminder time is most valuable when we are using it mindfully. With a black face housed in a sleekly styled, black stainless steel case, the watch's hands seem to float across a void. But what appears to be a surprisingly wide hour hand is actually an opening in the watch face itself, actually reminiscent of the drivetrain of a fixed wheel track bicycle. That opening shifts with the passing time, revealing a series of colorful words beneath that prompt the wearer with positive messages such as "engage", "reflect", "observe", and more. The weight and visual details of the watch, including its metal mesh wristband, make this a prized personal accessory. It comes in a handsome presentation box illustrated with artwork specially commissioned from artist Hannah Davies. Wristband adjusts to fit most sizes. Battery lasts 2-3 years before replacing. Made in China.

Comments about THE HOUR WATCH:
It's a cool watch to wear when you don't need to know the "precise" time as it's kind of difficult to read. So it's best for weekend wear when you just need to know the "general" time. It's light weight and comfortable. Strap clasp is a little tricky to move for right fit and also to close. But overall pleased with product.

How environmental stress contributes to cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes is under study at the Medical College of Georgia.
The study, which follows 523 pairs of twins, is funded by a $1.7 million continuation grant from the National Institutes of Health.
Cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes and their co-morbidity pose an important health challenge to the United States, says Dr. Frank Treiber, vice president for research and principal investigator on the study. What were looking at are environmental issues and the role they play in causing these diseases. Its often the combination of genetic and environmental risk factors that is driving the development of these diseases.
Researchers have long thought that environmental stress factors things like family dysfunction, low socioeconomic status and discrimination play an important role in cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes, but little is known about physiological factors that link stress to the diseases development.
How those factors are related to physiological changes that then cause the development of subclinical disease is unknown at this point, Dr. Treiber says. A twin study allows you to tease out the genetic contributions by comparing identical and fraternal twins.
MCG researchers have been studying the twin sets since 1997. When they started the study, their average age was 10; they will be 19, on average, as they start the new study.
By comparing identical twins, who share the same genetic material, to fraternal twins, who are, on average, like other siblings in terms of the genetic material they share, researchers can determine whether risk factors such as high blood pressure and insulin levels are due to genetics or environmental factors.
They believe the cumulative impact of stressful environments will predict cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes.
Researchers will evaluate them two more t

The GridWise Architecture Council (GWAC) is a team of industry leaders who are shaping the guiding principles, or architecture, of a highly intelligent and interactive electric system—one ripe with decision-making information exchange and market-based opportunities. This architecture will provide guidelines for interaction between participants and interoperability between technologies and systems.
The Council is neither a design team, nor a standards making body. Our role is to help identify areas for standardization that allow significant levels of interoperation between system components. We are helping to outline a philosophy of inter-system operation that preserves the freedom to innovate, design, implement and maintain each organization's
portion of the electrical system.
For more information on the Architecture Council's mission, organizational structure, and progress see the Mission & Structure page.
GWAC document defines a market-driven future energy management system
Based on feedback solicited from the energy industry over the last year, the GridWise Architecture Council, or GWAC, recently released an updated version of the GWAC Transactive Energy Framework. The framework provides a common point of reference for the broad set of stakeholders interested in developing the principles, guidelines, definitions and architectures to advance transactive energy systems.
In its simplest form, transactive energy systems provide a means for customers of all sizes to join traditional providers in producing, buying and selling electricity – using transparent pricing and automated controls – while ensuring a reliable and cost-efficient electricity system. Of course the premise is far from simple. A modernized grid must accommodate many new elements, from expanded deployment of variable generation and distributed energy resources to new, intelligent devices, appliances and other "smart" loads. Transactive energy systems provide mechanisms to accommodate these new elements in an efficient, market-based manner.
Since the framework was first released in November of 2013, the Council has actively engaged a broad set of stakeholders through workshops and conferences to evolve the concepts of transactive energy systems. Over the last year, for example, the definition of – and technical and economic drivers for – transactive energy have been honed. Additionally, the underlying principles have evolved to ensure broad stakeholder applicability. These and other framework refinements were rolled out at the winter meeting of the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) in mid February, which provided yet another key venue for dialogue.
In 2015, GWAC will continue its outreach to stakeholders and further evolution of the framework in several key areas, including:
GWAC Web Meeting: August 20, 2015. Learn more about the web meeting.

The Big 12 conference is a feudal organization/society. The way in which these societies are supposed to work is the subjects give to the master, and the master protects and, when necessary for the good of the fiefdom, provides for his subjects. The University of Texas is the lord and master of the Big 12 conference. The other nine members primarily work for its benefit. Unfortunately, UT is seen by most to have taken the role of "Robber Baron"; taxing his subjects without dispensing any benefit back to them. UT owns all the facilities, hired all the coaches, and recruits all the players it needs to be the best collegiate athletic program in the nation. The extra cash the new deal provides to them cannot have any additional tangible benefit to that athletic department. UT is well past the "point of diminishing returns" in revenue.
The Big 12 administration, on the other hand, has created a reserve fund using the exit penalty funds levied against the universities of Nebraska and Colorado to be distributed to the five schools in the most vulnerable collective position if the conference dissolved. This fund is to be used by current members whose athletic budgets are in crisis now, or in the future. This kind of concern for the conference's future should not go unnoticed by the UT. Indeed, this sort of investment should not be only copied, but amplified by Texas. This show of concern, IMO, would greatly improve the university's image to the public at large as the benefactor for the conference versus its image as the "greedy institution" it owns today. If the UT wants to rule a fiefdom, it should do so as a responsible, beneficent lord, not as a "Robber Baron."

That behavior describes the University of Texas perfectly in regards to the Big 12 Conference IMO. The UT is rules the Big 12 as a despot to which the other schools must show allegiance.

I bet back in the day you played with foam covered PVC swords on central campus, didn't you? Not that there's anything wrong with that...
...but yes, that is one way to put it.
Every institution, like individuals, always should act in its own best interest. Conferences, by their being, suggest that most schools think their long term interest is best served by acting in concert. Yes, UT is better off with a healthy conference and I think they know that.
Weve got a pretty good football conference, and weve got a pretty good conference overall. Were still walking around with our heads held high and our chest out, about that. Paul Rhoads
I'm guessing no. They haven't yet, so I'm guessing that past history is a guide on this thing.

Air-Dried Mushrooms
- Active Time 10m
- Total Time 240h 40m
Yield: 1 part fresh=-1/3 part dried
Most vegetables preserve best when blanched first, but mushrooms may be successfully dried without blanching. Always check with a local expert about wild mushrooms! If you can learn to recognize just one or two wild types, you will discover an untapped gold mine of enjoyment.
- Wild or domestic (cultivated) mushrooms
- Strong thread
Remove the stems of the mushrooms, if desired, or leave whole. Wipe with a damp cloth. Using a needle, string the mushrooms on strong thread. Hang the strings of mushrooms in the sun, for several days, until dry and almost brittle. Bring in at night. A good breeze helps.
Heat in a 160 degrees F oven on a baking sheet for 30 minutes to destroy any insects that may be in the mushrooms. Place in clean jars. Cover and label. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. To reconstitute, soak for 30 minutes in warm water.
PREPARATION NOTE: If you are adding the mushrooms to soups and stews, you do not need rehydrate--just add them dry to the liquid in the recipe.

EAST LANSING, Mich. The inferior members of swimming or running relay teams those athletes who fared poorest in individual races showed the greatest gains when performing as part of a team, and those gains were even greater during final races as opposed to preliminary races.
The new research from Michigan State University's Deborah Feltz and Kaitlynn Osborn provides some of the first real-world support for the Khler motivation effect, which describes how less capable individuals perform better when performing a task with others as opposed to individually.
The researchers also measured athletes for evidence of the social loafing effect, or when people exert less effort to achieve a goal when working in a group. While no statistically significant evidence was found, the performances of superior group members tended to be slower in relay races.
The findings, based on two separate studies of archival performance data from college and high school athletes, appears in the current edition of the journal Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology. Osborn, a doctoral student in the Department of Kinesiology, was the lead author of the study, working with Feltz, university distinguished professor and former chairperson of the department.
"Researchers for years have been attempting to understand the complex nature of motivation in sport, partly to find a way to increase athletes' motivation to perform," Osborn said. "Our findings show weaker team members are more motivated when working with others than when working alone.
"These studies provide some of the first real-world examples of the Khler motivation gain effect and a trend towards a social loafing effect within the same group."
The study also revealed female athletes were more affected by indispensability pressures, as they performed better when being viewed as an important member of the team. Males tended to be more motivated by social comparison, m

"High levels of RAD51 may help cells that lack BRCA1 overcome the defects in recombination caused by loss of BRCA1," Bishop said, "but the recombination that occurs in this situation may be abnormal and may actually cause mutations which in turn lead to the development of a tumor."
When the researchers took normal, healthy cells in culture and disabled the BRCA1 gene, the cells survived, but grew slowly and were unable to repair DNA damage normally. When Bishop and his coworkers increased the amount of RAD51 in these cells, however, the ability of cells to repair DNA damage was restored and the mutated cells grew more quickly.
In the future "it will be interesting to determine whether high levels of RAD51 can predict tumor prognosis," said Bishop. "Its also possible that tumor cells with high levels of RAD51 are particularly dependent on that gene for survival and therefore sensitive to drugs that target RAD51"

Hey Guys, Just scanning my mods for things ive missed, and may come to be in the future. Sorry my life has been very busy lately, and I Haven't had time to Mod TWRM Much.
Posted by sw33tsp0t on Aug 7th, 2010
In the future I Really, Emphasize Really, Want to add Night time Ops with Nightvision of all Common BF2 Maps.
For a Much Richer Experience with TWRM.
A Personal Stat/Medals System as with BF2 Online would be really great too, as well As Xpack Compatibility,
I heard its not possible to Merge Vanilla BF2 with Xpack, But id really love too!
Enemy Commanders are Still W.I.P, But as far as your Own Team being the commander, the Troops Listen Well.
There are a few more minute things I would like to add, such as bots not being able to see through Foliage,
and Perhaps an Own personal BF2 Launcher that changes variables from /Map time/Game-Mode/Bot#/Bot Ratio/
Maplist, etc. the whole bit.
It would be great if I could get some more help and maybe finish TWRM to be as good as it can be.
But that will take some time, I'm very busy as of lately. If you have some Mod Skills as To some of the
Things stated above I would be VERY Grateful!

Calls for boost to London tourism
Published: Saturday 28th of March 2009
London attractions and the city's tourism sector would benefit from more government support, bodies say.
As British Tourism Week draws to a close, holiday accommodation firm Blue Chip Vacations is highlighting the success of tourism in the country and calling on more action to help sustain the industry.
"During this period of economic slowdown the UK holiday sector is one of the few positive success stories around," explains managing director Liam Gavin.
He predicts a good year ahead for tourism despite the recession, which could boost London attractions.
Bernard Donoghue, co-chairman of British Tourism Week, adds that the credit crunch also means more Brits are holidaying at home, inspired by sights such as London historic buildings.
A £2 million international marketing campaign to attract visitors to London attractions was this week announced by the mayor of London Boris Johnson.
He highlighted the many London attractions tourists can visit, such as the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye.
With the London Pass, visitors can save money on many London attractions and take advantage of special offers.

"Too often, women who have had breast cancer surgery are forced to return for a second operation to remove lymph nodes," said Peter Blumencranz, M.D., medical director, Breast Health Services, Morton Plant Mease Healthcare in Clearwater, Florida. "The GeneSearch(TM) BLN test has the potential to change that by more accurately guiding decisions during surgery, in real-time, thereby reducing the risks, stress, emotional trauma and costs of second surgeries."
Given its level of accuracy, GeneSearch has the potential to prevent the need for costly and traumatic second surgeries for as many as 5,200 additional breast cancer patients in the U.S. each year. (1)
"In the five months since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
approved this test, a growing number of surgeons have become familiar with
GeneSearch(TM) BLN and requested information and training so that they can
begin to offer it to their patients," said Ken Berlin, general manager,
Veridex LLC. "The accolades from Time magazine are further evidence of the
important role this test can play in the treatment of women with breast
cancer, and it reinforces our belief that GeneSearch(TM) BLN will enhance
the standard of care for the estimated 200,000 women in the U.S. who

This small decrease in low-severity visits was somewhat contradictory to expectations prior to the implementation of reform, Smulowitz wrote.
"To the extent that policymakers expected a substantial decrease in overall and low-severity ED visits, this study does not support those expectations."
The authors suggest limitations on the availability of primary care in Massachusetts may be a key reason in the limited effect of health reform in ED utilization. Low or non-existent co-payments for MassHealth and Commonwealth Care may also be factors.
"In addition, even with adequate coverage, it might take time and effort to alter care-seeking patterns that have become ingrained in some communities," Smulowitz wrote. "Many of these patients had never had insurance before, so they may have been relying on the ED instead of other care settings."

Recently found out that I am going to be a mom for the first time. my estimated due date is Febuary 23,2012. I am extremely excited, but also really nervous. Morning sickness is setting in and it sucks. I'm really freaking out about the thought of labor...I know it's still a while away but I don't know what to expect so I'm a little scared.
8 weeks :)
Comments (5)
Labor is not a whole lot of fun, but believe me you can do it. Don't stress about it. Our bodies know what to do and once you are hoding your lo you will forget the worst of it instantly. Truthfully I had a very hard few hours then got a epidural and felt nothing. It was great and I'm totally ready for round two. Read what you can and don't allow others to share hooro stories, you will be fine. If you have any questions feel free to pan me.
Mother to Christopher born 6/19/09!
Andrew born 2/11/12
I just found out yesterday!!!
My estimated due date is Feb. 27th
Have had some back pain and a little cramping. Thank goodness I haven't thrown up yet.
Congratulations! And those are very normal feelings. Labor is never easy. I have had epidurals with 4 of my 5 girls and they were pretty ok. I can't complain at all. You can do it either way.
6 girls...hoping for one little boy soon!!
I know I can't say this for everyone was labor was a breeze! Being pregnant was harder for me...but even then there's something so special about growing a baby inside you that its all worth it :) You will do great, believe me. If you're really freaking out about it just plan on getting an epidural to ease the pain. Then all your have to endure is a few hours of it, and the epi numbs your entire body. Personally I think it is a wonderful advance of modern medicine! If you have any questions at all feel free to pan me
