May 3 News: The Planet's Venture Capital Firm, ARPA-E
ARPA-E hopes to revolutionize the economy helping to create strong sustainable and renewable fuel companies. [Marketwatch]
Someplace in America, some very smart scientists are busy revolutionizing our economy.
At least, that's what a small federal agency — ARPA-E (the Advanced Energy Projects Agency-Energy) — hopes to accomplish by giving a few million dollars to each of hundreds of promising technologies that could change the way the world produces and consumes energy.
Some of these researchers are rushing to invent, perfect and commercialize the technologies that could one day replace petroleum and other fossil-fuels as the world's dominant energy source.
The hope is that these new technologies could allow us to dramatically cut the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases without hurting economic growth. Indeed, energy costs could be much lower and less volatile. The right mix of technologies could make any country or region entirely energy self-sufficient. …
ARPA-E is almost like a venture capital firm, nurturing many ideas in the hope that one of them will be The Next Big Thing. But ARPA-E isn't a VC firm; it doesn't provide all the financing needed to bring a product to market, only the seed money to prove the technology enough to attract private venture capital.
The ARPA-E incubator is already showing some successes: So far, 17 of its projects have attracted follow-up funding from the private sector totaling $450 million. Twelve other projects have started new companies, and 10 more are receiving additional funds from other government agencies.

ARPA-E and the organizations it is financing seem most encouraging.
"The hope is that these new technologies could allow us to dramatically cut the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases without hurting economic growth." Same as for chronic diseases: looking for the 'magic bullets' that will not require us to make the hard sacrifices of eliminating the causes. We need to cut fossil fuel demand NOW, as harshly and as drastically as possible!
These types of projects have been funded by the DOE for decades. The organizations in which they are housed are periodically abolished, then revived under different names, giving the appearance that something radically new has been created. The projects themselves are then re-classified so they both appear to be radically new and fit within the mission of the new organization. This is the continuation of decades old policy; don't expect 'magic bullets' because of the hype.
Just like the internet.

Please tell us what YOU have done to cut YOUR fossil fuel use as harshly and drastically as possible.
Re: NMSU Las Cruces presidential candidate Garrey Carruthers, former chairman The Advancement of Sound Science Coalition. Oreskes and Conway devote 2 pages to TASSC in their history Merchants of Doubt (Bloomsbury Press 2010).
TASSC was launched by APCO Associates in Nov. 1993 with efforts to hide the Philip Morris connection. APCO was enlisted because PM's main PR agency, Burson-Marsteller, was too obviously associated with the tobacco giant. John Bolz, a manager of media affairs at PM, supplied APCO with a list of sympathetic reporters but APCO, not Bolz, placed the calls to "remove any possible link to PM" (3 citations)…
Scientific advisors to TASSC included Fred Singer, Fred Seitz, and Michael Fumento. MIT climate change skeptic Richard Lindzen was asked to join by Mr. Carruthers, but the authors do not say whether Dr. Lindzen accepted his invitation. (Merchants of Doubt pages 150-151, 316).
Mr. Carruthers denies knowledge of TASSC's tobacco connection. They did create such plausibility. Climate change is a bit more clear. NMSU is a respected institution of advanced scientific research, and NM state legislature is probably due an explanation.
One should note the above was 20 years past. Humans may err, and perceptions change with time and education. It will be interesting to hear from Mr. Carruthers.
Your question, like your proposals, is irrelevant. If we want to save the biosphere, a necessary, but not sufficient, condition is that 'we need to cut fossil fuel demand NOW, as harshly and as drastically as possible!' That requirement is independent of what you as an individual do, or I as an individual do, or what Joe does.
No, Superman1.
Your consistent refusal to offer EVEN ONE SINGLE SPECIFIC SUGGESTION as to how emissions could be quickly cut, or EVEN ONE SINGLE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE of the supposedly "harsh" and "unacceptable" consequences of cutting emissions that you blather about, is entirely "relevant".
So is the fact that you blame continued fossil fuel use on the supposed unwillingness of "the global public" to take any action, while REFUSING to to respond to repeated, polite requests to give EVEN ONE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE of such actions that you have taken, or that others might take.
What's quite clear is that your vague, unsupported, unspecified threats of "harsh and draconian sacrifices" are vacuous.
What's quite clear is that your attacks on the "global public" — which apparently means everyone on Earth EXCEPT YOU — for refusing to take actions that YOU REFUSE TO TAKE, is naked hypocrisy.
You have never brought anything to this site except unsupported (and repeatedly refuted) assertions, defeatism, sneering attacks on everyone who ever takes any action to reduce fossil fuel use, falsehood-filled attacks on every solution offered to reduce fossil fuel use, insistence that the fossil fuel corporations should be held blameless, and hypocritical, misanthropic attacks on "the global public" for supposedly failing to take the actions that you refuse to take yourself.
Frankly, such boorish bloviation was boring when USENET was young, and it has not improved with age.

So much for the climate talks between China and the USA! Sounds like the USA is up to the same old tricks at Bonn, ME
ITER says that a fusion reactor is being built in France.
And Australia, ME-are we up to our old, bi-partisan, delaying, obstructing tricks again? I'll miss Rudd though-his hysterical, potty-mouthed rants at Copenhagen were a real low in public life in this country, but, pretty soon, I'd say, they will probably pale into insignificance. The vision of Tony Abbott strutting the international stage is …beyond words.
Probably Mulga. I used to think I had a reasonable imagination but it can't cope with the Mad Monk representing us OS, ME
forget fusion.
name the projects.
describe them.
It would be good to get an estimate how much it would cost to reinvent NYC to go net zero, 100 billion to 200 billion dollars at most by 2020; in one of the world's greatest cities.
Considering that it is estimated to cost 5.7 trillion dollars per year by 2020 to reinvent civilization to survive climate change a success in NYC would be one of the major replicable successes for reinventing civilization.
And, something is not impossible if already exists.
"…the Advanced Energy Projects Agency-Energy) — hopes to accomplish by giving a few million dollars to each of hundreds of promising technologies that could change the way the world produces and consumes energy."
Huh? We already have plenty of technologies that can change the way the world produces and consumes energy. The most promising is building weatherization that would create mega negawatts. Then there is passive solar gain; passive earth cooling and heating; concentrated solar thermal electricity; solar PV; wind power; smart grid connections; electric bicycles; electric or at least hybrid cars; high-speed trains; energy efficiency engineering in factories (more negawatts; behavioral changes such as working during daylight hours; turning down the thermostat and wearing a sweater in the winter; growing deciduous trees between your house and the sun; growing billions of trees worldwide; making biochar; growing organic food.
OK, there's 17 technologies that will change the way the world produces and consumes energy. I'll take my $17 million bucks now — and, thanks.
I repeat: your question, like your proposals, is completely irrelevant to addressing the challenges of climate change.
How big a solar electric plant could someone do for a million bucks?
Could someone get enough selling the power to beat a 5% interest rate.
Philip, What you have here is the confluence of three driving forces: the mission of the DOE (ever-increasing R&D on energy-related topics), the allure of the DARPA name, and the urgent need to address climate change. What you're seeing is basically a sales brochure; they've been doing the same type of work reported here for many decades.
Isn't it odd to use the name Superman1?
Anyway, wouldn't it make good math for someone to better their community by providing a solar electric power distribution source?
And wouldn't that project return a healthy income off the power distribution?
I think that it would also provide a way for someone or group to have a nice involvement with their community.
Raul, I have commented in some detail on fusion, including ITER. See Joe's article on the NYTimes, 1 May; #28, in response to Alan Roth. I would be interested in hearing your comments.
Wildfire tearing through Southern California nearly triples in size http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyLKvEGuwRo&feature=youtu.be
"Isn't it odd to use the name Superman1?" Would you prefer I use Mulga Mumblebrain1, or any of the other ordinary everyday pseudonyms we see here? Or, even Raul M1?
"providing a solar electric power distribution source?" I addressed that specific issue as part of my response to Alan Roth on fusion (Joe's 1 May article on NYTimes, comment #28).
"We already have plenty of technologies that can change the way the world produces and consumes energy." I still do some research in the biomedical area. I am amazed at the parallel between our attitudes towards disease and our attitudes toward climate change.
We now have the information available to prevent most diseases (with obvious exceptions for individuals with STRONG genetic predisposition), and we certainly know how to curtail climate change. But, the information and knowledge are irrelevant in both cases, and we would rather 1) continue our profligate behaviors and search for the 'magic bullets' to save us than 2) make the required sacrifices to avoid the damage.
About a dozen years ago an important "Leeds" architect detailed the seriousness of climate change to me.
After that I started doing an accounting of the things I do with a goal to minimize my environmental footprint and see how difficult it is.
I have found that it was not difficult at all.
I have not experienced any hardship or sense of sacrifice. I am healthy and happy and my life is good.
Substantially lowering my footprint much more will likely depend on a low footprint source of income and the availability of environmentally small-footprint services.
I do believe there is a huge amount of waste in those things that are essential and it does not seem that there would be much sacrifice when that waste is eliminated.
It is my belief that most if not all the high footprint stuff can easily be replaced with much better designs with very low environmental footprints.
In fact, I strongly believe that things will work a lot better and people will be a lot healthier, happier, and wiser in a low footprint world.
I also believe that ultimately based on the nature of intelligence and the very nature of human development that the manmade world will be net positive.
What you can do to reduce your carbon footprint (NRDC)
You could use the $1 million as seed money for a town to start it's own community solar program, and let the residents do the rest of the financing in blocks ranging from $250 to $250,000 (a young married couple wanting to buy into the community system to a medical clinic needing to power its X-ray machines and lights.)
We need to deploy, deploy, deploy. More research is nice, but it won't do any good to discover the latest technology if it's not going to be widely deployed — the exact situation we're in now.
lol- lots of laughs.
By the way
Thank-you for the reference to your previous comment.
I had read that and was amazed by the reference to the start up price that the company is enjoying. But how big would a 20 billion dollar solar elec. facility be? Why with that much money on solar there could be a covered walkway walkway setup going beside the electric tram.
Well at a price of 400 dollars a foot that would be 2.5 million feet of solar electric covered walkway. Or in miles that is about 473 miles. Now going 473 miles in just about any direction on land there are probably many who would like to use elec. power.
Raul, "But how big would a 20 billion dollar solar elec. facility be?" That was the point of my comment. Why spend that kind of money on what is essentially a scientific feasibility experiment on what will probably be an enormously expensive commercial energy source when you could blanket the SW with PV cells linked to a grid and get some near-term results?
It's a cloudy day out today.
And the sun is powerful.
Being receptive to that power is seemingly optional and ultimately necessary. That the solar elec. type panel is operational is helpful. I like my solar elec. panels and it is a satisfying like. At first I was thrilled to experience the mystery of leaving solar panels outside and getting elec. power to use to power the air conditioner on a hot day.
And the next day it was hot as well. When I came home from work the room was cool and I didn't have to listen to the window A/C unit running for hours before it would cool the room. And it was already paid for so I didn't have to try to calculate how often or long to leave the A/C running. Why it's a like that just keeps on going and going.
It must be quite a feasibility study to actually envision a solar panel covered walkway. Probably better to just start with a back of the envelope calculation. Thanks…
For my grid tie modular back of the envelope thought exercise, I will figure on making the solar panel covered walkway module of longish panels set width to width for the normal distance between telephone poles. And I'll figure a grid tie setup for each module. Such an arrangement if widened to a residential street width could supply power to a neighborhood and it would still keep mostly to it's self to boot. Course, if it was to cover a tramway, then the tram could benifit also.
Say, if it wasn't a tram, no, just single cars that had a elec. rod that would reach to the underside of the overhead solar elec. covering, why then the cars could charge up while transiting and make it the relatively short distances from the solar elec. transport line. And if there was extra power which there would probably be, then it would flow to the homes and workplaces along the way, seeing as how the width of the transport line would reflect the amount of energy needed. And as far as the time of day well some elec. power is usually better as it would be used. Humm.
Of course, elec. busses could be added for those who would rather use the mass transport means and not have to bother with walking long distances from the parking lots. Yes, many concepts have already been deployed. Oh, and a weak warming signal could be set to the solar elec.panels to melt snow buildup on occasion.
Reinventing New York City to be net zero in five year's at a cost of 200 billion dollars would make good economic sense; being at less than one-fifth the local one $trillion real estate value; and less than one-fifth the one $trillion annual economic activity of the New York Metropolitan Region it is central to and one of the world's largest economies.
This could rapidly stabilize a huge very important part of the United States and serve to breed broad rapid deployment of similar actions domestically and worldwide.
And, it may be relatively easy to sufficiently manage the risk of such a large venture.
Return on investment could be rapid.
Even more so as a great welcoming safe haven and city on the hill offering reciprocating support to a civilization on the verge of collapse.
Look, Super..don't bring my family into it. The Mumblebrains are proud, simple, folk, not easily raised to indignation, but deride the family name and all bets are off. And there have been Mulgas in the family since the ancestral patriarch was so named by his Granddam, who observed, 'That boy's as thick and as dense as a lump of old mulga wood!'.
Superman1 is a very strong argument against nominative determinism, ME
Around the turn of the 1900s it was Einstein's math tutor of the stuff that provided the formalism for General Relativity, Herman Minkowski; and, perhaps channeling Kafka: "We live in an age of technological metamorphosis where mechanics is changing into electronics . . . "
The wonders will never cease.
Au contraire! It is the perfect impedance match to my postings.

I believe this is a way in which the main character expresses sarcasm, maybe mixed with a little distrust or disdain (to a phrase/thought that is). I think an equivalent to this would be an ironic smile, or a sneer.
It is a way in which the main character responses to phrases, or thoughts, which he finds ridiculous or nonsense.
So I think the following two phrases will have roughly the same meaning:

Your QuestionAre there any sources for the physical milestones of children with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome? especially the age at which a child with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome typically walk?
Our Answer
We have identified the following information that we hope you find helpful. If you still have questions, please contact us.
Questions on this page
What is Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome?
Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a growth disorder that can affect several parts of the body. Affected infants are larger than normal and are taller than their peers during childhood. Growth slows down in several years, and affected adults are not unusually tall. Some children have asymmetric growth which usually becomes less apparent over time. Other signs and symptoms may include an omphalocele or other abdominal wall defect at birth; low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in infancy; an abnormally large tongue (macroglossia); abnormally large abdominal organs; creases or pits in the skin near the ears; and kidney abnormalities. Affected children have an increased risk to develop tumors, particularly Wilms tumor and hepatoblastoma. BWS may be caused by several types of genetic changes, but in about 85% of cases only one person in a family is diagnosed with the disorder.[1]
Last updated: 8/24/2015
Do children with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome tend to have developmental delays?
No. Development is usually normal in children with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Children who have Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome as a result of a chromosome abnormality, children who have a history of hypoxia (shortage of oxygen to the body) or significant, untreated hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) may experience delays in development however.[2]
Last updated: 12/11/2009
I am working with a child with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome who has developmental delays. Who can I speak with to learn more about appropriate goals for physical milestones?
The presence and severity of developmental delays in children with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome vary. You may find it helpful to speak with the child's parent or guardian to see if a genetic professional is involved his/her medical care. Genetic professionals often have experience with rare conditions and and can work as a part of a child's medical team to help determine a diagnosis and management strategy. Speaking with the medical geneticist or genetic counselor involved in the child's care may be one way to learn more about appropriate goals for your patient.

I need the things in my Home Folder to be backed up, because that is where everything is saved and secure. What am I doing wrong. In time machine the only thing that is excluded from backup is my removable hard-drive that I use for time machine backups. Please help, I am not computer smart so please answer in "simple" works. THANKS
Are you using FileVault? This is a known "issue" where Time Machine only backs up the sparsebundle that contains your FileVault home directory when you're logged out. Even then, I'm not sure how well that works because it apparently backs up the entire thing each time, which leads me to believe restoring can only be an all-or-nothing deal.

St. Bernard Parish Fishermen Join Fight to Keep Oil From Coast
Chris McShan headed for the marshes off Hopedale in southeastern Louisiana yesterday, hoping to save his communities from economic calamity by preventing oil from reaching the coast of St. Bernard Parish.
McShan, a 31-year-old fishing guide, attended a training session then waited hours to help lay booms protecting waters east of New Orleans as 30-knot winds pushed oil from the damaged BP Plc well inshore.
"This place is going to be a ghost town if that oil gets in here," said McShan as he stood on the porch of Breton Sound Marina overlooking Bayou la Loutre. "I don't want people to feel sorry for me. I just want to do something."
McShan was one of about 300 commercial and recreational fishermen trained at the parish civic center to help prevent oil from reaching Louisiana marshes. With fishing halted in state and federal waters affected by the spill, he said he had few other options.
The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration this weekend closed commercial and recreational fishing in federal waters from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Florida panhandle for a minimum of 10 days. The move came after Louisiana barred fishing and oyster harvesting in most waters east of the Mississippi River.
The oil spill followed an April 20 explosion on a drilling rig leased by BP that killed 11 workers. The rig, owned by Transocean Ltd., sank two days later.
Aid for Fishermen
Governor Bobby Jindal said in a news release that he was still waiting to hear from the federal government about his request for financial help for commercial and recreational fishermen and a declaration of "commercial fisheries failure." The governor said the state remains "concerned about BP's ability to respond" and is preparing coastal parishes to act on their own.
Jindal said in a letter to U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke that the commercial and recreational fishing businesses are crucial to Louisiana's coastal towns and the nation's food supply, providing almost one-third of the seafood in the lower 48 states, with values exceeding $2.85 billion a year.
"I want to be very clear on this point -- this is not just about our coast," Jindal said. "It is fundamentally about our way of life in Louisiana."
Worse Than Katrina
Glenn Sanchez, 55, who runs the Breton Sound Marina, said the spill was a greater threat to his livelihood than Hurricane Katrina, which destroyed almost all of St. Bernard's 27,000 homes and displaced communities such as this one that lie outside the protection of the coastal levees.
"I'm out of business," he said. "This is a nightmare."
His son Jonathan Sanchez, a fishing guide who works with McShan, said oyster luggers were heading toward the spill loaded with booms. Each lugger was followed by three or four smaller boats, such as his own 24-footer, that would place the barriers.
He estimated the oyster boats would take five hours to get into position and said he doubted the booms would hold against the high winds and rough seas.
"It's terrible," Sanchez said. "I want to help so bad and what I'm heading out to do won't help at all."
Frustrations have caused some friction between locals, worried about their jobs, and the outsiders arriving to fight the spill, said St. Bernard Sheriff Jack Stephens in an interview near the staging area. He expects about 6,000 new arrivals in coming weeks between St. Bernard and neighboring Plaquemines Parish.
Angry Locals
"We've already had some flare-ups, with locals angry about outsiders getting to work while the locals are shut down," he said.
Stephens said his office was preparing to deal with the influx, as well as the economic damage from the spill, both of which could have long-term consequences for the parish.
"At the end of the day, we know a part of this resource is going to be affected for a long, long time," he said. "There's a real feeling of doom."
McShan said BP's contractors need local knowledge to know where to place booms and how to get there. The marshes are cut with innumerable channels and lakes, making navigation difficult for outsiders.
"Local people know the area," he said. "And everyone here is willing to go risk their lives to protect their livelihoods."

Five Guys, the In-N-Out of the East Coast, scouting first O.C. location
Five Guys Burgers and Fries could open its first Orange County eatery soon in the city of Orange.
The award-winning Virginia-based Five Guys, whose reputation in the East Coast rivals that of In-N-Out Burger in the West, is closing in on a location at the corner of Katella and Tustin avenues near the Costa Mesa (55) Freeway.
Phil Ratner, who owns the rights to expand Five Guys in parts of Orange and Los Angeles counties, gave me the scoop the other day. My family and I decided to hit Five Guys' first California location in Carson while heading home from a trip to Central California.
By chance, Ratner took our order at the cash register. We struck up a conversation, and next thing I knew, he was giving me a tour of his eatery's kitchen. I was immediately surprised by the simplicity of such a successful concept, often dubbed the Willy Wonka of burger chains.
Every meal is made from fresh, not frozen, products. So, there's no freezer in the kitchen. All burgers are hand-pressed into 3¼-ounce patties made from 100 percent ground beef.
The fries, perhaps the best I've ever eaten, are cut from potatoes and blanched on site. By doing this, the fries — which are fried in peanut oil — come out crispier. (more photos below)
Russet potatoes are shipped to stores daily from some of the best growers in the United States. On the day I visited, the potatoes came from Rigby, Idaho.
During our chat, Ratner — a former chief executive at Marie Callender's — said the Carson unit has seen sales steadily rise since opening in May — especially at lunch time. His Laguna Niguel company has bought the rights to open 30 Five Guys in Southern California.
Ratner (center of photo with visor) plans to open a second Five Guys in Cerritos soon. After that, he hopes to enter Orange County — with an eye on the location in Orange.
If you're a fan of eating In-N-Out Burgers, Ratner said "you won't be" after eating a Five Guys burger. That's a bold statement.
I definitely like Five Guys' burger, but I don't think the beef is as flavorful as an In-N-Out burger. However, I do like that you can customize the Five Guys burger with more ingredients and toppings compared to In-N-Out burger. (For more Five Guys reviews, go to yelp.com)
Either way, this chain is sure to give In-N-Out a run for its money. The fries alone are worth the trip.
Locations: Five Guys in Carson is at 20700 Avalon Blvd. (South Bay Pavilion). The Cerritos Five Guys is slated to open in the fall at the Cerritos Promenade Mall, 11461 South St., Cerritos. (opening date is unknown)

It is all change for the All Blacks on Sunday as, for the
first time, Kieran Read leads them into combat against Italy
with wing Julian Savea the only player backing up from the
side which began against Scotland.
There was natural acclaim for Read from his teammates and
coaches with midfield back Ma'a Nonu weighing in with his
For the last three years Read had been a world class No 8, he
was a leader in the forwards and had captained teams when his
good buddy Richie McCaw was absent.
"I think he will be a great captain," Nonu said.
A crowd of about 70,000 is expected to attend the test in
Rome. There has been some disappointment that McCaw and
Daniel Carter were not starting, but coach Steve Hansen
explained his needs to rotate the 32 strong squad in the
opening two internationals.
He also mentioned that Carter was in the reserves and likely
to make an appearance and that had not been the intention
until several players were injured.
Read, like his teammates, was anxious to get out onto the
park. It had been a long wait, keeping his captaincy
elevation secret and waiting to get a start.
"I can't wait to run out at the head of the pack on Saturday
(Sun NZ) but it is all about getting my job done so it is
pretty important to make sure I do that," he said.
'It is a great opportunity, a massive honour and one of the
biggest jobs in the country I guess and following a man
(McCaw) who is in my opinion, the best captain ever in the
All Blacks.
"He said the easiest way to lead is if you are the best
player on the pitch and I think he does that every week and
that is essentially how I want to do things as well.
"I have to get my performance right, then the guys will
follow and you can lead with your words after that."
Being a strong performer helped the leadership duties. He did
not want to take any new tack as captain, he wanted to use
his natural instincts.
"I have my own style how I like to lead. I want to make sure
the team knows exactly where they are going and is on the
same page and working as strongly as they can together," he
McCaw had provided lots of help in his career and Crusaders
coach Todd Blackadder had been another mentor.
Hansen understood Italians wanted to see both McCaw and
Carter but the two guys who were taking their places, Sam
Cane and Aaron Cruden were strong players.
They were making their way in international rugby and were
part of an All Black group determined to match the quality
their teammates had shown in the 51-22 win against Scotland.

The university has a shuttle program that runs from 5pm to 3am daily. In addition, they just added a day-time shuttle for students to get to class quicker. Also, the CTA has two free buses for UChicago students. On and around campus, there are many Zipcars that are affordable and often available. About 10 minutes from campus, the Metra will take you to the Loop and back for $6 and the CTA has buses that take you to and from CTA trains and of course around Chicago. Union station will also take you to Indiana (say you want to visit Notre Dame) or around Chicago.
The long-running shuttles are fantastic, consistent, frequent, and cover all your possible options. They're also incredibly easy to understand. Everyone complains about the CTA, but it's actually relatively cheap, and if you ACTUALLY LOOK AT A MAP it's remarkably easy as well. Starting from your dorm, you'll seldom have to walk more than a total of 4 blocks to get to your destination anywhere in the city.
There are public buses that run throughout the day that can get you around campus which are free to students. There are school shuttles that run at night, which serve the same purpose. It's pretty reasonable to get downtown, there are a lot of buses and trains that pick up near campus.
To be honest, I don't really use shuttles because I think its faster to walk most places. To get downtown, I just take a cab, it's super easy.
There are night time shuttles around campus that help

Sorry, there are no reviews.
The transportation options at the University of Chicago are endless. On the campus itself, there are several shuttle routes that drive all over Hyde Park. They start running in the early evening to incredibly late and are great for late-night cram sessions at the library. There is also Safe Ride, which is available pretty much until dawn. Both options run all week, but the shuttle routes end earlier than Safe Ride. Because of this, Safe Ride can get pretty backed up late at night, and it takes forever to get picked up. There are also two CTA routes on campus that run during the day that will let students ride for free if they show their University ID.
Outside of the campus, it's incredibly easy to access the city of Chicago. Because the University is still within city limits, students get to take advantage of the CTA and Metra systems. The CTA buses and trains are pretty cheap, usually $2.25 a ride. The Metra system is about $2 a ride and runs on a specific schedule. You can also call taxi services to come and pick you up in Hyde Park. To get downtown, using a taxi is roughly $30. Whenever you need to go home, you can get to the airports or bus stations without too much hassle. Both O'Hare and Midway airports and Union Station are accessible by public transportation or taxi. During popular flying times, like Christmas break or the end of the year, the school provides shuttles to get to the two airports. The one downside about public transportation is that students do not have a U-Pass, which is a bus pass provided by a University to use all of the CTA system for free.
This is a part of the late-night transportation services, which includes the Evening Bus Service and Safe Ride.

Maybe I should explain what I meant by
What I meant was: what other ships (involving Ash and Misty, exactly AquaMilotic) are interesting and would challenge Pokeshipping, but not beat it. I wasn't implying I like any other ships with Misty and Ash more than Pokeshipping, but that extra bit of competition is exciting! Like the episode Misty Meets Her Match OMG probably one of my favourites. Good to see Misty get the attention she deserves!If there are any other shippings you'd like to see challenge Pokeshipping what would they be?
Funnily enough, I take other shippings involving Misty better than I can Ash's. For example egoshipping and orangeshipping, I find them interesting, but advanceshipping and pearlshipping annoy the hell out of me (and that one with iris).
But I'll always be a pokeshipper simply because I'm a 90's kid; I grew up with Ash, Misty and Brock, and the signs and hints dropped throughout Misty's duration made it obvious. I do like the character May, but I think Ash only took her under his wing, and then there's Drew!
I could seriously go on about this forever.
Ashist_Wilketch: thanks for your help! I really want to make a banner for my fanfic, but wasn't sure how to go about it, I do now, I think, so thank you!
P.S. other fan fic writers/readers is it bad that you don't get a lot of replies to a thread (with your fanfic) I've only got a couple and I feel as though my fic isn't very good :S
Hints against DanceShipping (Rudy x Misty) from Misty's side:
- Rudy started flirting with Misty and gave huge compliments, and a bunch of flowers, of course she felt flattered. But being flattered doesn't equal being attracted to someone.
- When Rudy tried to dance with her when he just met her, she didn't enjoy it, she mostly seemed surprised. She didn't look attracted to him at all.
- During the target test of Ash, Misty didn't seem lovestruck, she just enjoyed the flattery, that's not the same as love.
- Misty's smile at the end of the target test had nothing to do with Rudy, she smiled because Ash succeeded.
- Misty only accepted that dinner with Rudy after his sister begged when she said "I don't know...", that had nothing to do with Rudy, and it's just a dinner, not really a date.
- Before Rudy offered Misty to stay, his sister suggested Misty to stay at Trovita Island forever while eating, Misty didn't answer and seemed uncomfortable, then Rudy said "let's talk about something else."
- Misty only danced with Rudy because Rudy's Pokemon danced, Rudy kept asking Misty. If she'd really like Rudy, she'd immediately dance with him.
- When Rudy offered Misty to stay, while dancing, his sister was there, in the same room. Misty clearly didn't want to offend his sister. When Rudy asked her to stay, she didn't immediately reject his offer. Some people see that as a sign that she seriously considered it, but nothing disproves that she already knew she didn't want it, and just didn't outright say it, in fear of offending Rudy's sister. She seemed very uncomfortable when Rudy asked it, implying that she knew that she didn't want to stay with him.
- During the battle, Misty was happy every time Ash did something good, and seemed disappointed every time Rudy did something good. Some people say she was torn between Ash and Rudy, but there were no actual solid hints to back that up. If she'd prefer Rudy, or if she'd be torn and not knowing whether Ash or Rudy meant more to her, she wouldn't show such a clear preference for Ash.
- When Rudy's Electabuzz defeated Ash's Pikachu, she obviously looked sad. But when Rudy's sister asked Misty whether his brother was a good Pokemon trainer or not, Misty said he is, but that was probably an attempt to not offend her, she seemed sad about it that Rudy's Electabuzz defeated Ash's Pikachu.
- When Ash's Bulbasaur defeated Rudy's Exeggutor, Misty showed a big smile.
- When Rudy chose Starmie and said he'd defeat Ash's Squirtle, said he wanted to commemorate his win to Misty. Misty looked really uncomfortable with this, and Rudy's sister's "I immediately noticed my brother fell for you" also made Misty uncomfortable, she seemed afraid to hurt Rudy's sister.
- When Starmie hit Squirtle with Thunderbolt, Misty looked very sad, and eventually snapped at Ash that "Ash, what are you gonna do? Are you gonna stand there, letting him win? Come on, you're the only one who can get Squirtle to show his true power!" Then, Ash replied with "I know, I'm not stupid!", Misty shouted "Then don't keep standing there and do something! You already defeated Rudy once and you're gonna do it again!" Some people think Misty made her decision at that moment, but it's more likely that she made her decision to stay with Ash earlier: that fits the signs she Misty showed earlier during the battle, her signs of being happy when Ash did something good, and sad when Rudy did something good. Rudy's sister was shocked by this, realizing that Misty doesn't want to stay with Rudy. If Misty would really love Rudy, she'd stay with him and cheer for him instead.
- When Ash won, Misty smiled.
- Misty was happy when seeing Ash cheer and go crazy from happiness about his new Badge.
Also, if Misty would seriously consider dumping Ash for a guy she only knew for one day and was seriously torn between them, having a lot of trouble choosing, that's not very PokeShippy, isn't it? And besides, that would mean that if she'd know Rudy for a bit longer and like him a little bit more, that she'd dump Ash for him, and would love Rudy more than Ash. If she truly loves Ash, she chooses him with ease without a doubt.
I can see why you'd like it if Misty loves Rudy but still chooses Ash: you think "she loves Ash so much that she turns down Rudy who she loves", but I think Misty doesn't feel any attraction Rudy and that she never considered his offer at all.
Well, not getting much rates is normal, you won't get a lot of reviews on this forum. And besides, on this forum, PokeShipping is unpopular compared to its rival shippings, especially in terms of fics: people here are usually more interested in writing and reading AdvanceShipping and PearlShipping fics. You might want to make a FanFiction.Net account, or ask some friends of yours to read your fic and rate it.P.S. other fan fic writers/readers is it bad that you don't get a lot of replies to a thread (with your fanfic) I've only got a couple and I feel as though my fic isn't very good :S
Misty wasn't interested in Rudy. The reason why she seemed a little interested was not because she actually was, but because she is a nice person that feels bad saying no to people who are treating her well, and giving her nice things. I can understand this-and know this feeling-very well seeing that I am the same way. It is mostly just guilt, especially towards the little girl, Mari. She has a kind heart towards Pokemon, and also kids, I think. Also, I think there is a reason other shippings involving Misty are more interesting to us than the other shippings with Ash, and that reason is: Misty is a girl, and we identify better since she is a girl (I'm assuming ya'll are girls). Basically, we already know what's going through her head because we've all felt that way at one point or another in our lives. However, Ash is a guy, and therefore it annoys us more to see him with another girl, than to see Misty with another guy because we don't know he likes them or Misty; we are unable to "get in his head," so to speak since we are not guys, and don't really know what goes through a young man's mind. And lastly, as far as Misty goes, we already know for sure Misty loves Ash. It is so blatantly obvious, and was brought to the surface in Pokemon 2000, so there is definitely no wondering about her. On a side note, Ash seems like the type of nice, sincere guy that, if Misty ever went and actually told Ash how she felt, he would be super flattered just by that fact and admit he loves her too (obviously after he hits puberty because if she told him before hit puberty, he probably would think she means just as "friends" and respond with something like, "I like you too! You're cool! We've had all kinds of fun adventures together!"), especially since she's his best friend. He seems like an easy-going, appreciative guy that would be willing to give anything a shot, if that makes sense.
By the way, I wanted to share this link with you guys. I thought you all might enjoy this musical. It's called Pokemon: The Mew-sical. It was done by a group of college kids for fun. It is really good, and I think you all will love it!!! Especially the ending!!!

Heyo Pokeshippers~ I have a question for you all. ^^
What is your favorite thing about Pokeshipping and why? Please, please stay away from "it's obvious" or "the hints!" I want to know what you like about Ash and Misty together, personally, and not just going by "canon-romance", so to speak.
...This is a tricky problem, huh. I really, really want to see the other Heroes... and if it works out, I want to make friends with them! If I made friends with six Heroes, Id be an awesome mage! We could even conquer the world!
-Flatt Escardos, Fate Strange Fake3DS Friend Code: 1306-5187-6204
My favorite thing is how it's the closest ship to being canon on the show.
And indeed, I agree, Misty doesn't feel any attraction to Rudy, she doesn't even see him as slightly hot/attractive, and just didn't want to hurt his sister, Misty never even considered staying there. I think that was pretty obvious, but apparently, some people don't think so. And they're free to think that, as long as they don't act like Misty liking Rudy is canon (I know some people who do act like that).
Also, as PokeShippers, we could also be sure that Ash loves Misty too. He was jealous for a reason in the Rudy episode, for example.
Anyways, I haven't seen you around here yet, welcome to the thread!

It's my favorite mostly because I think they really care for each other the most out of any human character. I also like how they constantly tease each other, it is so cute; that's usually how kids show they care. Misty also was Ash's first best human friend, and the first girl he met. She also taught him a lot, not only about Pokemon, but about himself. Nothing says love like that.
And I don't see how anyone could think the whole "Misty X Rudy" relationship is canon. I mean, why would any decent girl (which Misty obviously is, because then why would she be on a kids' show if she wasn't) leave their best friend, who they are also in love with, to be with some guy she just met who she knows nothing about? Ash is very trustworthy, but Rudy, in my opinion, makes me kind of skeptical about him based on some of his actions and words on that episode.
Yes, I think Misty having intense feelings she can't confess cause her a lot of stress and pain. which is a reason why she gets mad so easily. Sure, she does have an anger problem, but it would be a bit less severe if she'd confess to Ash.
Yes. And Misty is faithful and trustworthy. She won't ditch the guy she loves to be with a rich guy she doesn't have feelings for.
What things about Rudy make you skeptical about him? Using his sister to put pressure on Misty? Sure, his sister did that herself too, but Rudy said "my sisters would be so happy if you stay here". However, maybe that's a normal thing to say. After all, it's true. Anyways, Misty doesn't love Rudy and that's all that matters here.
There are also people, even some PokeShippers, who act like Misty being attracted to Danny is canon, what do you think of that?
I made a list of reasons why I don't think Misty is attracted to Danny at all, and why it's certainly not canon.
Hints against IceRaceShipping (Danny x Misty) from Misty's side:
- Some people say Misty was flirting with Danny all the time. However, Misty never flirted with Danny, Danny was the one who was flirting with Misty. When not even knowing her, he approached her and said she has a beautiful name for a beautiful girl, and that nothing he has ever seen is as beautiful as Misty. Well, that seems flirty to me. And sure, Misty was flattered, but most girls who hear such a thing would be flattered, that doesn't imply attraction from Misty's side.
- Misty saying "I like the mature, intellectual type, I'd never fall for such a baby" is bullcrap, she just denies her feelings for Ash that way, she always does that when being accused of liking Ash. She also seemed a bit shocked when Danny said she likes Ash, which implies that she loves Ash and didn't like it when Danny noticed that.
- Misty waving at Danny was just a response, Danny waved at Misty first, then she isn't going to ignore him, that would be impolite. Ash never waved at either Misty or Tracey, he was more busy trying to climb the mountain without falling, so then he also shouldn't expect them to wave at him.
- Misty offering Danny to share her blanket is a hint that can't be solidly disproved, but because Misty didn't show other valid hints to Danny, I don't think that's enough to say Misty has feelings for Danny. After all, Misty likes to tease Ash, this could be seen as teasing. She could've very well tried to get Ash jealous, to get him overly motivated to beat Danny, and/or to see if Ash would be jealous (and if he'd be jealous, it would be a sign that he has feelings for her).
- Some people say Misty wanted Danny to win and see that as a sign of a crush on Danny, but when making the ice sledge, Misty clearly wanted Ash to win, and tried to help him by saying Charizard would be a bad choice, and was worried when Charizard wasn't cooperating. That shows that Misty wanted Ash to win, disproving the "Misty wanted Danny to win" thing.
- Misty seemed surprised Ash won, and certainly didn't seem disappointed about it. And Misty smiled when Ash just won, so she certainly doesn't seem very disappointed about Danny's loss.
- And besides, not a real hint, but Danny is two or three times Misty's age, I really can't see a ten year old being attracted to a 25-30 year old man.
The Danny episode was one of my favorites. Ash really gets annoyed by Danny at times when Misty flirts with him, and at the beginning, vice versa. Anyways, I don't think that Misty showing interest in Danny was canon. I just think she was really really flattered by his compliments. I mean, those were pretty good compliments, what girl wouldn't be super flattered when complimented by someone handsome like him? I think perhaps maybe she just went a littttle overboard with it haha. Maybe even on purpose because she was annoyed by Ash at the time. I think Danny was just complimenting her for the sake of being nice upon meeting a young girl.
Woops, I kinda started a heated discussion about Rudy....
Never meant to imply Misty was attracted to Rudy or anything like that, I just like that episode simply because it took Pokeshipping to a whole new level. Rudy's interest in Misty, presented us Pokeshippers with a chance to see Pokeshipping put to the test. While it would've been weird (Misty staying with Rudy because he her asked too and leaving Ash, who she has known for longer), we also thought for a second it was quite possible. Brock left in an earlier episode, who said Misty couldn't? But, she didn't, and that's why I, a keen Pokeshipper, loved this episode. It showed Misty's devotion to Ash, and even some jealously from Ash, and that line Rudy said 'she chooses him' kinda sums it all up.
I'm a 90's kid; I grew up with Ash, Misty and Brock, and looking back, (their group dynamic) and Ash and Misty's relationship just seemed to work, they were friends, helped and supported each other, to me it just seems like the right ship. Comparing their ship to others involving them, the others just don't compare. I could go I, but I'd bore you...What is your favorite thing about Pokeshipping and why?
Also has anyone heard Pokémon Reorchestrated: Kanto Symphony by Skotein, OMG; anyone who loved the early Pokemon games will cry tears of joy.
Misty wasn't flirting with him, Danny was flirting with her... < _ >
You think he's handsome, I see... Do you think Misty saw him as hot and/or had a little crush on him or was in love with him? I don't think Misty felt any attraction to him.
I think Misty tried to make Ash jealous, to see if he'd show jealousy. "If he shows jealous, he returns my feelings," is what Misty thought. And Ash showed jealousy, so from that moment onwards, Misty knew Ash loves her back. Do you think that's possible?
Also, maybe some people didn't think Misty leaving Ash for Rudy was possible, because of thinking the only reason why she didn't outright reject Rudy was not wanting to hurt his sister. Do you think that's possible and/or makes sense?
Sorry if I've been harsh about this, I really don't want to offend anyone...
What do you think of my new drawing?

Misty was flirting with Danny big time, whether it was on purpose to make Ash mad or not, she was. Here's a couple examples: When Danny was climbing the mountain, she was all like, "Hi Danny! Be very careful, Danny!". Another example is when they are on the top of the mountain Misy runs up to him, and pushes Ash out of the way and says, "Hi, Danny! Wanna share my blanket?" That's definitely flirting in my book, especially the one about sharing the blanket.
I think Misty was annoyed with Ash being naive and clueless, so she took her chance and tried to milk the Danny thing while she could to get a rise out of him like she normally does, and make him jealous. Does that make sense?
On a side note, did anyone watch that play I found online? If not, you should totally watch it!! I don't want to give away the ending, but let's just say it's a Pokeshipper's dream come true!!

There was some hestitation, (I know she didn't want to offend the little sister), but there was. Overall I don't think Misty was attracted to Rudy, maybe caught off guard is the proper term, perhaps she liked a bit of attention from a guy, Ash isn't the type to do the things Rudy did,. But when Rudy asked her to stay...maybe that stunned her a bit, caught her off guard, maybe that's what caused the hestitation.It's not that heated... And besides, you did say PokeShipping had serious competition from Rudy, so I thought that implies that you think Misty felt at least some attraction to Rudy, sorry... You seem to think she seriously considered staying there, which she'd only consider if she'd feel attracted to Rudy.
Also, maybe some people didn't think Misty leaving Ash for Rudy was possible, because of thinking the only reason why she didn't outright reject Rudy was not wanting to hurt his sister. Do you think that's possible and/or makes sense?

well it look's like us pokeshippers got some amazing news according to bulbapedia misty and brock are sett to appear in the upcomming kanto fair episode which is also the episode where charizard return's hopefully this is true and i hope there will be pokeshipping hint's
I hope so, it'll be good to see them both again :S it's sad seeing Pokemon on TV nowadays and seeing characters you don't even knowwell it look's like us pokeshippers got some amazing news according to bulbapedia misty and brock are sett to appear in the upcomming kanto fair episode which is also the episode where charizard return's hopefully this is true and i hope there will be pokeshipping hint's
Sharing the blanket is another thing, but instead of flirting (which means trying to get Danny to like her), I think she tried making Ash jealous, so he could show Misty that he loves her.
I don't think Misty was that annoyed by Ash in the Danny episode... And what do you mean with "took her chance"? Trying to get a relationship with Danny, or just trying to get Ash jealous?
Also, could you please answer the question I asked you: do you think Misty felt any attraction to Danny or not?
WAH! Just got back fromstressful school activities and I think I've missed a lot of discussion lately..
Hmm, About this :
I don't know.. This sounds interesting to see Misty and Brock, though it's particularly hard to believewell it look's like us pokeshippers got some amazing news according to bulbapedia misty and brock are sett to appear in the upcomming kanto fair episode which is also the episode where charizard return's hopefully this is true and i hope there will be pokeshipping hint's
at fristXD. But if ever this happened and confirmed, this would be wonderful seeing the original trio again and of course to what Ash and Misty react to each other again.
@AquaMilotic, good job on the new drawing. Keep it up!
*waves hand* Oh me! Yep, I watch the whole act ( I can't believe it either..) and I actually enjoyed it! I like the whole story and musical at the same time and how it became a parody by college students, is that right? Wow, I was actually speechless at first.. it was awesome and I love the ending too.. I couldn't actually scream with love and laughter!XDOn a side note, did anyone watch that play I found online? If not, you should totally watch it!! I don't want to give away the ending, but let's just say it's a Pokeshipper's dream come true!!
I guess this is all for now..

So, where did they get this info about Misty and Brock appearing in Unova?? I tried clicking the link provided on Bulba Garden, but it didn't work...I need proof!!
Last edited by melodyh8807; 27th February 2013 at 5:22 PM.
The proof is the cast list, which was released yesterday. Misty's and Brock's VAs are in the upcoming episode. Granted, it could be flashbacks, but it's nevertheless exciting. Ash still remembers her! And maybe he'll even speak fondly of her to Iris and Cilan.
Mayumi Lizuka, Misty's VA, also tweeted about it.
Yeah so Mistys going to show up in a future episode but there are already trolls who are attacking us Pokeshippers just for being happy about it I think its sad that we are being attacked for wanting to see Misty and Ash together again even if its just in a flash back. I dont know why it bothers some people that we want to see our two favourite characters together after so long but Im not gonna argue with those people any more. Im just glad that Pokeshipping is alive in some way and that the anime is bringing back memories
Ke$ha literally said the equivalent of, "Hey, it's cool that these two characters we ship are show up in the same episode again, even if it's a flashback." melodyh8807 suggested maybe this could set up for something in the future, which is a perfectly justified speculation, but added that we can only hope.

Awesome plugin :)
Just wanted to let ya know that it incorrectly flags the theme-options.php file in Canvas as a timthumb file. I went through the file and had a look. It contains references to the fact that timthumb is used in the code comments, but no version numbers that I could see.
More of an FYI and notice to anyone else out there - you shouldn't overwrite this file ;)
Thanks again!

So I've got Mccoy, MJD, Bradshaw, F. Jones, and Torain.
I'm thinking McCoy, Jones, Bradshaw but am looking for advice. It seems like I pick the wrong guys every week, lol.
Any ideas?
Also, as a bonus question: Pick two from Austin, Boldin, B LLoyd, and M Wallace.
I'm starting Boldin and Lloyd as of right now.

Bush on Russia.
From today's White House press briefing — QUESTION: "As the president begins to do his homework leading up to the Russia trip, what are his current feelings about Putin? Does he remain a trustworthy friend or has he evolved to something else?" SNOW:
"First, he has not 'begun' to do his homework."
UPDATE: Snow's remark was misinterpreted. In fact, he was arguing that Bush does his homework all the time. Snow said, "First, he has not 'begun' to do his homework, he does it all the time, and especially in dealing with Putin and with the Russians." We regret the error.

MADIERA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A charter captain says the search for two NFL players and another man off Florida's Gulf Coast has become a subdued effort to find their remains.
Capt. Marti Heath said Thursday that charter boats will continue to search as they take fishermen out. That's after a dozen or so boats conducted dedicated searches Wednesday.
The Coast Guard called off its hunt Tuesday for Oakland Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper, free-agent NFL defensive lineman Corey Smith and former South Florida player William Bleakley.
The friends have been missing since their boat overturned Saturday in rough seas. A fourth man, Nick Schuyler, was rescued Monday.

Best herb I've found for hypothyroidism
Posted by Reviewer2130183 on Sep 24, 2009
I am very satisfied with this product. I trust the tradition of Ayurveda, especially as restored under the direction of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. And since Forskoli (called Makandi mint in India) has a long history of use in Ayurveda--for lowering blood pressure, treatment of asthma and COPD (it's considered a bronchodilator), and for hypothyroidism, I decided to try it. I have had underactive thyroid for many years, and suffered terrible, actually debilitating fatigue sometimes, among other symptoms. I never liked the synthetic medicine, though, it sped me up too much and impaired sleep. And since I only needed the lowest dose of synthroid anyway, I put up with the problems and kept searching for herbs. I tried several blends which did not help. So glad I finally found this one. I noticed more energy the first day I took it, have taken it daily now for a few weeks, and the change is like night and day. A great blessing for me.
Completely Natural Anti-hypertensive
Posted by Reviewer3141295 on Jul 11, 2009
If the word got out about this, and people weren't so brainwashed against natural remedies, and pigs could fly, this would replace all the pharma crap out there to control high blood pressure. I've been controling mine with natural substances for years and this is by far the best, a cure even, and the side effects include more energy and feeling better.
Unfortunately had side effects
Posted by Reviewer2371256 on Aug 26, 2011
I felt this product would have worked well, but I started to get side effects like sore throat, indigestion, unable to sleep. Too bad.
Definitely recommend!!
Posted by Reviewer1429684 on Aug 04, 2011
I have stage 5 emphysema and I have been taking these supplements for over 3 months now, and have been able to cut down on my inhalers. This is a good thing, because inhalers tend to make me shaky and cause me more bruising. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic Product
Posted by Reviewer1610900 on May 09, 2011
I have been taking for about two weeks for weight loss with my exercise and diet regimen. I am really satisfied with the boost in energy and I think it is definitely helping with my weight loss. The best thing about it is that the energy comes without jittery feeling of other weight loss aids and I am able to fall asleep without ANY trouble.
Additional uses ...
Posted by Reviewer1754204 on Jan 10, 2009
One of the uses of this product is as a smooth muscle relaxant. As such it has been helpful to me in speeding recovery from urinary tract infections. It works well in conjunction with cranberry products. Another in my family has found it useful for irritable bowl type issues. Its effect is to relax the large bowel.

I found this very helpful with appetite control. I`m not getting hypoglycaemic attacks anymore, and am eating much less. However I have yet to see any weight loss! It may also be helping my insomnia and I have noticed increased heat tolerance..
so far so good.
Posted by Reviewer2723897 on Sep 15, 2008
I did not weigh myself prior to begining the forskolin. However, after three weeks my pants and work uniform fit better around the waist. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Caution for males -- this increases adrenal Progesterone synthesis
Posted by Reviewer1194268 on Oct 02, 2011
The tiny capsule does seems to increase energy and slight body wt reduction (~10day use/1 per day), but it should have a note on the bottle that Forskolin increases Progesterone synthesis. Progesterone has a bad side effect on male libido. Andersen ML, Tufik S. Brain Res Rev. 2006;51(1):136-43
Well worth continuing to use

I purchased this help a freind with his blood pressure. When added to his current program of Gymnena Syvestre for his diabetes, down went the diabetic figures again - about a 20 point drop eating the same foods! Still working on the blood pressure and am now trying Celcery Seed Extract.

They don't want to lose because they haven't practiced enough, they want to win despite their astonishing lack of skill. Raven tried catering for them in 1.03 IMO. But Raven must realise... whiners will never go away, no matter how much you appease them, because there will always be people who have played more, and will beat them. And then they'll whine.
I agree with you more or less. DFA didn't need to be made useless. They just needed to fix the "I can still kill you with the tip of my saber as I pull it out of the ground" problem, and make it so you couldn't turn so much in the air. That way when padawan move spammer does the move for the 11th time in a row and goes flying by you, you could set up to counter him, instead of him turning to kill you as you move in. Instead they made it rather useless. I barely see anyone doing the move anymore. Instead, I see people running around backwards, and now, they dont need any timing, any set up, and they can do
damage than before, and with a smaller window of vunerability.
Even DFA spammers still would be involved in, you know, actual saber-vs-saber fighting stuff in between doing the move from time to time. With backstab, it's just people backing up while going for the instant kill over and over. Or, the slightly evolved version, the pull and backstab. Granted, this takes more set up, but it still seems so wrong to pull someone down, then turn around to pull of the most powerfull move in the game.
I would
rather have the back attack be an unbreakable defense move that knocks the attacker backwards a little, thus letting the person who was attacked turn around and fight, then have the back attack be an unblockable death stab.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home2/panselmo/public_html/wp-content/themes/catch-everest/functions.php on line 124
This happened when I went into the function.php to insert some code for a portfolio page. I'm definitely an amateur but pretty sure I didn't even touch any of the code near line 124.
I'm sure I can solve the problem, if only I could get back into my Editor.

This event is BYOB — bring your own brain.
On May 15 and 16, the Brooklyn Academy of Music celebrates the man behind the monsters — George Romero — during a weekend retrospective featuring five of the filmmaker's best movies.
Romero first shocked movie audiences back in 1968 with his original low-budget black and white thriller "Night of the Living Dead."
Hailed as a subversive masterpiece for its graphic depiction of flesh-eating zombies, as well as its leading African-American star, "Night of the Living Dead" has now gone on to spawn five sequels, including Romero's latest foray into the zombie world, 2009's "Survival of the Dead," which opens the retrospective.
Zombies have become so ubiquitous since "Night of the Living Dead," Romero wouldn't be surprised if a zombie showed up on Sesame Street soon, teaching kids to count.
"When we shot 'Night of the Living Dead,' none of us had any idea what it would lead to," said the director, who's honored by the retrospective, especially since his daughter lives in Brooklyn. "But I guess we struck a nerve, and I've been fortunate enough to strike a few more nerves since."
Still, zombies are just the tip of the iceberg, said Jake Perlin, associate film programmer for the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
"I love the singular, unique vision that Romero brings to all his films," said Perlin. "He doesn't dumb down things for the audience or scrimp on the gore."
The George Romero weekend retrospective also features non-zombie entries "Monkey Shines," "The Dark Half," and "Creepshow."
For a chance to see the director in the flesh, Romero will be on hand following the 8 pm screening of "Survival of the Dead" on May 15 for a Q&A. So you can pick the horror maven's brain just a little bit.
"Romero!" at the Brooklyn Academy of Music [30 Lafayette Avenue between Ashland and Hanson places in Fort Greene, (718) 636-4100], May 15 and 16. Tickets $12. For info, visit www.bam.or

A sedentary lifestyle is recognized as a risk factor for poor health.Only 22% of adults in the United States are currently active enough to derive health benefits from their activity. Inactive persons who improve their physical fitness are less likely to die of all causes and of cardiovascular disease than are those who remain sedentary. Many physicians do not feel adequately prepared to prescribe exercise to their patients. An active lifestyle does not require patients to follow a formal, uninterrupted, vigorous exercise program. Recent recommendations about physical activity have been simplified to encourage activity for the promotion of health and the prevention of disease. Physicians are advised to routinely counsel sedentary patients to accumulate 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity-equivalent to walking at 3 to 4 mph for most healthy adults-on most, preferably all, days of the week. The most sedentary patients should be encouraged to simply begin doing something and to make gradual changes over time. With continued support and encouragement from their physicians and families, these persons may progress to higher levels of activity that will further reduce their risk for disease.
The solid line indicates the energy expenditure over the course of a day for a sedentary person; the dashed line represents the energy expenditure of a person who engages in planned, vigorous exercise during leisure time but is otherwise sedentary; and the dotted line illustrates the energy expenditure of a person with a sedentary job who seeks opportunities to accumulate short bouts of physical activity throughout the day.
