Hey, it's the argylls and Alden dude...thanks for the tip on the Marciolani and Bresciani socks btw. I did get a couple of pairs from your recommended site.
Very high standards here from Justin, Stitch, Patek, Namor et al...and now MacArthur-Marciolani-Alden man back too; I'm feeling I might have to add at least one new pair of shoes very soon...
What recommended site?post #8058 of 2436910/15/12 at 9:57pm

Mimo's over-the-calf sock guide: all of these places sell proper long socks, all unless otherwise mentioned, sell only socks that are 100% wool or 100% cotton, and all of them deliver internationally.
That's the site recommended to me by Mr MacArthur, when I enquired about over the calf argyll socks. It's not Bresciani's site; just a US retailer who stock Bresciani, Marciolani and some other bits and pieces. Personally I don't really like socks (or anything else) with artificial fibre content. All Marciolani's are mixed fibres, apart from their more expensive pure cashmere ones. But the designs are great. Bresciani have a lot more pure cotton choices, though not so many argyll patterns.
Average around $35. Marciolani's socks are a good shape and grip close above the calf. Bresciani I found fit just a touch shorter, especially if like me you have fairly big calves, so I will size up next time.
Run by Kemal, a SF member, it will give an automatic discount if you are logged in to SF at the time you visit. I'm waiting for a first order from these. A really nice range of solid colours, in heavier, light and sheer weights. There are some cool patterns in some of the heavier winter socks too. Can't give an opinion until I have some, but they're very cheap and the customer service is great. Average around $10 (yes exactly!).
As well as some expensive English hunting socks that I've not tried, this site (meaning: "my red socks") sell two brands: Gammarelli make wool or cotton fil d'Ecosse in black, red or purple - colours appropriate to priests, cardinals and bishops respectively, as they are suppliers to the Vatican. They make white ones for the Pope that are only available as a special order! The other brand is Mazarin, who offer a much wider range of solid colours, in fil d'Ecosse.
Average $15-20 depending where you are. I've tried the merino wool from Gammarelli, the fit is nice and the feeling of luxury is really something for the money. I'm not sure how hard-wearing they will be in the end, but for "special" socks, they're a bargain. I have several pairs of the Mazarin fil d'Ecosse, which are light and wearable and seem well made. I have to mention that receiving a package from these people certainly feels like a special occasion. They have some charming extra details in their packaging that will make you smile.
These only offer three colours of OTC socks at the moment: black, anthracite and raspberry. The raspberry will change to another "trendy" colour in the new year. Their socks are cotton fil d'Ecosse. They sell a variety of other undergarments too, but I've not tried.
Order three pairs or more and it works out at $12 a pair. These socks are absolutely brilliant. In terms of quality, they are the best fitting, and I would say the most strongly made. They're heavier than Mazarin's, but being cotton, not thick. They NEVER fall down! In terms of practicality, if you just want conservative OTCs for suit wear in black or charcoal, or if (like me) you love that raspberry colour, then I would recommend these as my top pick. Great quality, and very cheap. Customer service is also very good: I had some addressing confusion that meant mine were probably sent to the wrong place. No quibbles at all from them, even though it was probably my fault: replacements sent to me immediately at no charge.
I should also mention www.sockalia.be as one of the members suggested earlier. I've not tried them as at the time I was looking for patterned OTCs in natural fibres only, which they don't have. But they do have some all-natural solids, including a bargain black silk OTC dress sock on offer. Beyond that. they've plenty of fun patterns in mixed fibres if that's your thing.
The glaring omission here is Pantherella. I can't find a re-seller anywhere that has the magic combination of all-natural AND over-the-calf. Each is available in a few places, but both together I just can't find. As the link shows, their own e-commerce site is still "coming". If anyone can find me Pantharella OTCs in their lovely pattenrs, in all wool or cotton, I will be very grateful!post #8061 of 2436910/16/12 at 5:56ampost #8062 of 2436910/16/12 at 6:22am

Second or third wearing of a new pair of EG. Socks are nothing special (BB Cashmere) but this is the first time I have worn cuffed pants in years. Just picked up a couple pairs from BB and had them cuffed. Trying to decide if I like them or not as I have a couple Borrelli suits coming in and I need to figure out if I want them cuffed.

The Developmental funds of the CCSG represent one vital component of the UAB-CCC Core grant by empowering the Center director to respond to and provide leadership for the scientific needs and priorities of the Center. The UAB CCC uses these funds in three primary ways. First, New Investigator funds are combined with other Center funds (e.g., gift account) and funds from departments and other Centers to provide attractive recruitment packages for faculty important to the Cancer Center's research enterprise. These recruitments may represent a build-up for a new research initiative, expansion of an existing program or replacement for departing or retiring faculty. The second use of these funds is for our Pilot Grant Program with an emphasis on young or new faculty and inter- and intra-programmatic collaborative research programs. The CCC fully funds 3 pilot grants annually ($30,000 each) and contributes to 3 others (Core grant - $10,000 and ACS Institutional Research Grant - $30,000) in 2 separate annual competitions. Our Scientific Advisory Committee reviews and critiques these applications for Cancer Center research priorities and potential for extramural funding. The recipients of these funds have an excellent track record of successful grant funding (more than $10 million in extramural direct costs) and adding to the scientific growth of our programs. Third, development funding is used to invest in new research technologies that the Center membership find of significant value yet cannot afford to implement individually. This investment manifests itself as expansion of the capabilities of a current shared facility or the creation of a new shared facility centered on the new technology. During the last funding cycle of the UAB-CCC there were fifteen new investigators supported by CCSG Development dollars, thirty-two junior investigators received pilot funding, 16 collaborative programmatic grants were awarded, including six focused on HIV-associated malignancies, one new developing shared facility was started, and another four received significant upgrades in technology. All the efforts of the CCSG Development dollars were implemented to further the mission of the Center and provide added value to the CCC membership.
The Developmental budget provided by the CCSG allows the UAB CCC Director flexibility in targeting the funding to high priority needs of the Center. The funding is most often used in the areas of strategic faculty recruitment, funding innovative research projects, spurring collaborative research programs and investing in new technologies that will be made available to the membership through new or existing shared facilities.

The death of Dr Treurnicht, known as 'Dr No' for his consistent opposition to government reforms during the last decade, will be a severe blow to the party that has been the official opposition since 1987, according to parliamentary sources. Tensions between moderates, who seek a negotiated accommodation with the black majority, and hardliners more politically inclined towards the firebrand politics of Eugene Terre-Blanche, seem likely to lead to a split.
Treurnicht's heir-apparent, the deputy party leader Ferdi Hartzenberg, is a less sophisticated, more rigid politician than Treurnicht, who was seen as a stabilising force on the factious South African right.
The conclusion was irresistible last night that Treurnicht's death had been accelerated by the arrest of the Conservative Party stalwart Clive Derby-Lewis on Saturday in connection with the assassination of the African National Congress leader Chris Hani. Treurnicht, who stood up to those in his party and beyond who advocated political violence, was close to Mr Derby-Lewis, with whom he went on a European tour in 1989.
In recent months Treurnicht had softened his party's traditionally inflexible stance, agreeing to do what he had previously vowed never to contemplate - participate in multi-party constitutional talks with the ANC and their Communist Party allies. His party's central demand remained extreme and unlikely to be met - an independent 'Boer' nation outside 'the new South Africa' - but at least, as his political opponents note, he had persuaded his party to seek the road of peaceful negotiation.
Treurnicht, who became a minister of the Dutch Reformed Church in 1946, had by his own standards moderated his political tactics - if not his bedrock apartheid beliefs - in later life.
An important clerical ally in the Sixties of the architect of apartheid, Hendrik Verwoerd, he became a member of parliament of the long-ruling National Party in 1971. In 1976, as deputy minister of Bantu Education, he insisted that black children should receive more of their education in Afrikaans, an insensitive position which sparked the Soweto riots that year and galvanised what in previous years had become a relatively moribund, shackled, black liberation movement.
Opposing the decision of the prime minister, P W Botha, in the early Eighties to admit Asians and mixed- race Coloureds to parliament, he quit the National Party with 15 other MPs in 1982 and formed the Conservative Party. He improved his party's parliamentary representation both in the 1987 and 1989 whites-only elections but suffered a crushing reverse a year ago when, in a national referendum, an overwhelming majority of whites voted for President F W de Klerk's proposals for sharing power with the black majority.
That seemed to be the end for Treurnicht. But he entered into a loose alliance - the Concerned South Africans Grouping (Cosag) - at the end of last year with Mangosuthu Buthelezi's Inkatha Freedom Party and other right-wing black leaders. Cosag has since fallen by the wayside and the Conservative Party has headed back into the white laager, striving, increasingly hopelessly, to push peacefully for a Boer republic.
South African police yesterday released two more of the people detained in connection with Hani's murder. Still detained are Mr Derby- Lewis, his wife, Gaye, and the alleged gunman, Janusz Walus.

Sharon-based foundation helps children facing adversity
|Holiday gifts for children in need of an uplifting celebration are shown above at an Angels For Kids Foundation Christmas party.
|Sharon Township resident Shanyn McCourt is shown with a child as he gives her a thank-you hug during Angels For Kids Foundation's Christmas event.

Founder Shanyn McCourt said she started the charity as a way to help others who, like her, had experienced loss or other difficulties. By the time she was 18 years old, McCourt said her parents and grandparents had died.
"My first Christmas without everyone, it was really lonely," she said. "So I started contacting group homes in the Youngstown area, where I'm from, and just wanted to help the kids."
With her own money and contributions from friends and coworkers, she helped make the holidays bright for about 25 youths that first year.
Now, more than 15 years later, McCourt is continuing her work with Angels For Kids, which was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2009. That status has allowed her to do more fundraising and serve more children and their families, she said.
McCourt said she usually relies on referrals from agencies to find children in need. She has focused much on the Youngstown and Amherst areas, where she previously lived, but now that she and her family are living in Medina County she would like to expand into doing more there and in the Akron area, she said.
This past year, McCourt said she also started accepting referrals from anyone who knows a child or family in need. The organization now has a board, and its members help determine who is eligible for assistance, she said.
Angels For Kids has two main events, McCourt said. The first one is a back-to-school effort that focuses on improving the self-esteem of children and relieving some first-day-of-school anxiety. Children are treated to new haircuts at a salon, school supplies, a goodie bag with shampoo and other care products, and a new outfit they get to choose.
"They leave the salon with smiles on their faces and then wake up the next morning with their heads held high, having the boost in confidence they need to have a great first day of school," McCourt said.
Around Christmas, Angels For Kids hosts another event, which last year treated 77 children who were homeless, victims of abuse or facing other tragic circumstances.
"We gave these kids a huge party to remember," McCourt said.
In addition to decorating cookies and dancing to tunes spun by a disc jockey, the children received a gift they asked for.
"The kids walked away with bikes, iPods, Beats by Dr. Dre, LEGO®s — whatever they wanted, they received," McCourt said.
Angels For Kids conducts several fundraising events a year, she said, but the newest one is through local bakery Cupcake Castle in Fairlawn.
McCourt said she frequented the bakery and told the owner, Jean Covel, about her organization. Covel asked if she could do something to help, and the idea for a specialty cupcake was born.
"This is like a dream of mine because I love cupcakes so much," McCourt said. "It was sweet."
The vanilla bean cupcake with blueberry filling is topped with buttercream icing and white chocolate angel wings, which has earned it the name Heaven Sent. It's available for $2.50 at the bakery, 117 Merz Blvd. A portion of the profits goes to Angels For Kids, McCourt said.
For her efforts, McCourt has been featured in national media such as Family Circle and Woman's Day magazines. In the future, she said she's hoping to see more chapters of her organization open. She also wants to work toward opening a vacation home for families needing a break together and calling it Ryan's Retreat, in memory of her twin brother who died a few years ago.
"They need to be able to connect and reunite as a family," she said of the families it will be geared toward. "They can stay there for a week so they can feel they belong to the family again."
McCourt, who is raising two children and a stepson with her husband, juggles running Angels For Kids along with her full-time job as a community liaison nurse for the Cleveland Clinic. Seeing the results of the organization's efforts makes it all worthwhile, she added.
"Being a working mom, it's very difficult," she said. "But to see that feeling of satisfaction on the kids' faces and them jumping up and down for joy. … Last year, my husband and I watched all the kids opening up presents [at the Christmas party], and we just stood there and took it all in."

The night sky above the Brecon Beacons National Park is granted special protection after becoming Wales' first international dark sky reserve.
It is only the fifth destination in the world to be given that status, which recognises areas that have low light pollution and exceptional starry nights.

A New-Growth Perspective on Non-Renewable Resources
This article reviews issues related to the incorporation of non-renewable resources in the theory of economic growth and development. As an offshoot of the new growth theory of the last two decades a series of contributions have studied endogenous technical change in relation to resource scarcity. We discuss the main approaches within this literature and consider questions like: How is the new literature related to the wave of resource economics of the 1970s? What light is thrown on the limits-to-growth issue? Does the existence of non-renewable resources have implications for the controversies within new growth theory?

This month, the Army launched a new campaign designed to try and overcome a challenge across the military — helping a new generation of military veterans transition out of uniformed service and into the civilian workforce.
It all stems from a partnership with the Society for Human Resource Management, which conducted a nationwide survey of employers to identify misconceptions that prevent employers from hiring veterans.

Market research/Analytics company Kantar Worldpanel has released a report on the sales of Android phones across Europe and also Australia and it shows that Australian sales for mobile phones running Android is at 56.9%, up 20.5% from the same time last year. As you can see from the table below, the 20.5% increase has come at the expense of phones running the Symbian, RIM and iOS operating systems, in my opinion this is perfectly understandable in the case of RIM and Symbian, however the iOS adoption rate should rise once again after the announcement and release of a new iPhone expected later in the year.
Another interesting point to note is that RIM seemingly cannot even compete with Windows Mobile, we're not talking Windows Phone 7 which also grew, but the older Windows Mobile OS, so that isn't good news for them. Check out the source link for the full release including statistics on Europe and the US.

"Bones" hit a new product placement low this week with a sideplot entirely based around how awesome "Avatar" is. I mean, you gotta do what you gotta do, but this was pretty egregious.
And the main plot was very obviously based on the (extremely awesome) documentary film "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters." I'm not sure what to do with that other than to call it a homage in which (spoiler alert!) the hero of the movie is instead murdered and proved a cheater. Can't imagine Steve Wiebe is too happy about that! But I'm getting ahead of myself…
The Case: Do you think the writers sit around a table brainstorming disgusting ways to find a body? Because they've truly outdone themselves this week with the oily, rotting body in a tank of fast-food fryer oil. As Cam puts it, the cause of death was "drowning and cooking." Uggggh. Our victim, Steve, was a mailman by day, video game rock star by night. His game of choice: "Punky Pong." Ha, why not just call it "Schmonkey Schmong"? Punky Pong just sounds like some "Punky Brewster"-branded version of Pong. Whatever that would look like. At any rate, after his "tempura'd" body is de-fleshed using a tank of beer (seems appropriate), they discover that Steve was also attacked with a weapon.
His rival world champion, "Pong Master Bill" (aka Billy Mitchell in real life, complete with American flag tie), disputes Steve's perfect score. And when Brennan realizes that a wrist injury would have prevented Steve from playing at all, let alone completing a perfect game, they discover that Steve's perfect game was actually played by Dougie, an autistic boy on his mail route who's obsessed with Punky Pong.
Peacock poop leads them to Dougie's father, who snapped when Steve claimed credit for the only thing Dougie has in his life. So he hit Steve with a golf club…and then decided to throw him alive into a fryer? Now that's fatherly love.
The Squint Squad: Fisher the Aggressively Melancholic Intern (FAMI for short) scores tickets to "Avatar," and invites Sweets and Hodgins. First, there's an ad for "Avatar" during the commercials. Back on the show, commence actual "Avatar" footage being shown, complete with reverent comments about the CGI, and phrases like "this is so much more than a movie." Yeah. And they basically keep talking about the amazing significance of "Avatar" throughout the episode, as they camp out in shifts to get good seats. This honestly might be the most unironically in-your-face case of product placement I've ever seen. I suppose I should be glad it's a movie and not soda or a car…
When Sweets finds out that FAMI has slept with nearly 100 women (really?), he gets insecure and makes out with a very forward tattooed nerd in line. DUDE. That's not cool at all — you have a girlfriend! Happily for his relationship with Daisy, Sweets backs off and FAMI takes over. In a tent. In the line. Yes. This happens. Hodgins kindly reminds Sweets that though FAMI may "pitch a tent" with many women, Sweets has been with one woman many, many more times. Like seriously, a lot. Plus, FAMI is so busy rolling around in the tent that he misses the movie.
Booth and Brennan: An adorably sheepish Booth had Cam drag Brennan to the crime scene even though the body was still … fleshy. If you can even call that flesh. After Cam busts him on it, she realizes that she's "in the middle" again, after getting "in the middle" of an argument about sports earlier. Ha. It's a moot point anyway, since all the flesh falls off (ugggghhhh) when they pull the body out of the tank.
Later, after the father confesses, Booth tells Brennan he understands the impulse to protect one's son, and explains it quite eloquently and touchingly. Brennan rightly points out that Dougie wouldn't have even cared about the record. But, she acknowledges that Booth also has a valid "number system" for seeing the world, even though it's different from hers. Growth, people. What you're seeing is growth. And then she tries to play Punky Pong and gets totally pwned.
Odds and Ends:
- Props for continuity, since we finally see Hodgins' Angela tattoo … as does Angela. Awkward! She's pissed at her dad and wants it lasered, partly because she doesn't want Hodgins sweating on her face. Fair enough.
- Brennan trying to do "Bow chika wow wow" porn music = hysterical.
- Brennan talking about banana incisors = almost equally hysterical.
- Hmm … we got a DVR-buster where Angela and Brennan talked about Punky Pong representing evolution. So now we have to watch out for those? Sigh…
- FAMI: "Saturated fats…they're a killer!'
- Brennan: "Oh, show him your gun. Kids love guns."
- Payne: "Lance — very phallic name you've got there."
Was anyone else out there who's seen "The King of Kong" weirded out by this episode? How did you feel about the "'Avatar' is the greatest movie of all time ever and everyone should go see it right away" plot?

I wouldn't try it while nursing Becky unless a doctor knowledgeable about Quassia says so. It's a poison or it wouldn't work.

No idea. But since the effects of combinations have never been studied, better not to try it, because they are both poisons.

If you started treatment promptly upon recognizing the symptoms, you should feel pretty well after treatment begins. But you won't be positive that all the amoebas are dead until you wait 23-25 more days, to give any that might still be alive a chance to reproduce.

Remember those 600,000 pages of Iraqi documents that were found during Operation Iraqi Freedom ? Some, but not all, have now been translated, and the Department Of Defense (DOD) has published redacted versions online, along with conclusions about Saddam's links to terrorism.
The venerable Grey Lady, the leading light of liberal print media, the New York Times, reported on the findings with the following headline: "Oh, By the Way, There Was No Al Qaeda Link".
So there you have it. Bush lied, kids died. Damn neocons. End of story. Nothing more to see here. Let's move on. What do you guys want for dinner - pizza, Chinese, or what ? Vote for Obama !
Well, actually, there is ONE little teensy weensy problem with the conclusions of the New York al Times, which is...
Far from proving that Saddam didn't have ties to terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda, the documents proved the exact opposite. They proved Saddam DID have terrorist ties aplenty. Here's the report's abstract summary:
Captured Iraqi documents have uncovered evidence that links the regime of Saddam Hussein to regional and global terrorism, including a variety of revolutionary, liberation, nationalist, and Islamic terrorist organizations. While these documents do not reveal direct coordination and assistance between the Saddam regime and the al Qaeda network, they do indicate that Saddam was willing to use, albeit cautiously, operatives affiliated with al Qaeda as long as Saddam could have these terrorist–operatives monitored closely. Because Saddam's security organizations and Osama bin Laden's terrorist network operated with similar aims (at least in the short term), considerable overlap was inevitable when monitoring, contacting, financing, and training the same outside groups. This created both the appearance of and, in some ways, a "de facto" link between the organizations. At times, these organizations would work together in pursuit of shared goals but still maintain their autonomy and independence because of innate caution and mutual distrust. Though the execution of Iraqi terror plots was not always successful, evidence shows that Saddam's use of terrorist tactics and his support for terrorist groups remained strong up until the collapse of the regime.
That sounds quite different from the al Times "Oh, By the Way, There Was No Al Qaeda Link", doesn't it ? This is why you can NEVER depend on the liberal media to report the truth. NEVER. They are not there to report the truth, they are there to create their own truth. There is a word for that. It's called 'propaganda.' If you get one lesson from this blog, get that. Find the real truth, not the swill they dish out.
Ken Timmerman details some of Saddam's specific ties to terrorism here. Following is a sample:
One of the most damning documents to emerge from the Harmony data base, I wrote, was a Jan. 18, 1993 order from Saddam Hussein, transmitted to the head of Iraqi intelligence, "to hunt the Americans that are in Arab lands, especially in Somalia, by using Arab elements or Asian (Muslims) or friends."
In response, the head of the Iraqi Intelligence Service informed Hussein that Iraq already had ties with a large number of international terrorist groups, including "the Islamist Arab elements that were fighting in Afghanistan and [currently] have no place to base and are physically present in Somalia, Sudan, and Egypt." In other words, al-Qaida.
The authors of the IDA study note that Saddam's Iraq "was a long-standing supporter of international terrorism," and that these particular documents provided 'detailed evidence of that support.'"
The study also points out that the captured documents "reveal that Saddam was training Arab fighters (non-Iraqi) in Iraqi training camps more than a decade prior" to the 2003 war.
But the study shies away from identifying them as al-Qaida terrorists, even though many of them were members of Egyptian Islamic Jihad, whose leader, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahri, became the deputy leader of al-Qaida in 1998.
Saddam was a terrorist supporter and a terrorist himself. They were doing much more than flying kites in Iraq prior to the american invasion.

Applying Regime Shift Indicators to Understand the Potential Impacts of a Multi-Year Cold Event on the Bering Sea Ecosystem
Ecosystems occasionally undergo very abrupt "regime shifts"—such as the simultaneous collapse of crustacean fisheries and boom in groundfish and salmon fisheries that occurred over much of Alaska in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In the past, sudden climate switches have been correlated with these ecosystem regime shifts. It is typically impossible to predict when ecological regime shifts will occur, and we have no ability to predict changes in climate. This lack of predictive ability creates considerable uncertainty for fisheries managers. However, research on early warning indicators for ecosystem regime shifts has been rapidly advancing, offering hope that we may soon be able to detect a situation where an ecosystem is at risk for undergoing a regime shift.
This project applied the new class of early warning indicators to data from a long-running (1982–present) bottom trawl survey of the Bering Sea in order to test for signals of a new ecological response to the recent climate oddity. By applying the indicators to data for about 40 common fish and crustacean species, the project was able to provide information on community-wide resilience in the Bering Sea.
The issue
This research is a proactive response to the unusual climate variability in the Bering Sea. A serious problem for fisheries managers is the tendency of ecosystems to show abrupt shifts between alternate regimes in response to external changes. Though rare, these events can have dramatic consequences for Alaska fisheries—an ecological regime shift in the 1970s was marked by widespread collapse in crustacean fisheries and simultaneous booms in groundfish and salmon fisheries. From 2006 to 2013, conditions in the Bering Sea were cold, and the severity and duration of this cold event are unprecedented since the 1976–1977 Pacific Decadal Oscillation regime shift. Such a dramatic ecosystem perturbation suggests an increased chance of an abrupt transition in biological communities. Understanding the ecosystem implications of this cold event is a pressing need for successful management of Alaska fisheries.
Why is this an Alaska Sea Grant project?
This project addresses the Alaska Sea Grant theme on impacts on and strategies for coastal ecosystems and/or coastal communities adapting to change. Ecological effects of natural climate shifts remain a source of risk for the social and economic well-being of coastal communities. This research will use innovative methods from a developing scientific literature to provide earliest-possible warning to fishery managers for potential shifts in the eastern Bering Sea ecosystem.
How will researchers conduct their study?
The development of statistical tools for early detection of ecological regime shifts has been a very active area in recent years. This project utilizes best practices for applying early warning indicators to the NOAA Bering Sea trawl survey time series from 1982 to the present. The indicators that will be tested for, rising spatial variance and spatial correlation in abundance of about 40 species, have previously been demonstrated as reliable predictors for new reorganization events in real-world studies of several marine ecosystems, including the Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea.
Research collaborators
Bob Lauth, Supervisory Research Fishery Biologist for the NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center
Stephani Zador, NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center
What researchers learned
The analysis that we completed in the first year of this project showed that the early warning indicators, which are expected to signal decreasing resilience in a community under perturbation, were in fact markedly elevated across the Bering Sea groundfish and crustacean community during the 2006–2013 cold anomaly. Furthermore, early warning indicators returned to "normal" levels with the reversion to warm temperatures in 2014. These results support theoretical predictions of how early warning indicators should behave for a community undergoing a persistent perturbation, and are noteworthy for being one of the few tests to date of these indicators in a large, complex ecosystem like the Bering Sea.
Research impacts
Relevance: Alaska fish and crustacean communities have undergone several abrupt reorganizations over the last 70 years, resulting in severe disruption to commercial fishing communities. Developing early detection methods for decreased ecological resilience, and an elevated risk of abrupt ecosystem change, is key problem in the management of Alaska fisheries.
Response: This project uses early warning indicators, a rapidly evolving field in applied ecology, to attempt to measure changes in fish and crustacean community resilience during a multiyear cold anomaly in the Bering Sea.
Results: Our first-year results supported the use of early warning indicators for detecting sudden change in Alaska ecosystems. These results were shared with managers in a contribution to the Ecosystem Considerations chapter of the North Pacific Fishery Management Council SAFE report. Turning early warning indicators into an actual management tool is a goal that is being addressed by many research groups globally, and our results are one contribution to this international effort.

You are likely to need a large envelope and a "large letter" stamp - speak to post office counter staff for advice. Alternatively, deliver the Notice to us directly at the Civic Centre (especially if you are short of time: delivery at our customer contact centres does not count as the first day!). Remember that TEN's must be served at least ten working days before the event, not including the day of the event nor the day that we receive it at the Civic Centre.
Cheques must be made payable to Wychavon District Council.
As well as Royal Mail's postal service, we are more than happy for our customers who subscribe to the DX service to send items to us at our DX address: DX25934 Pershore.
Please note: Applications for licences will only be deemed accepted when they are received at the Civic Centre offices, Pershore with the appropriate payment. We do have on-line facilities via the national Business Link portal for a number of applications: where available, details are included on the relevant pages.

Based on reviews from across the web.
Howe Keld Hotel Details
Check-in: 14:00
Check-out: 10:00
In 2008 Howe Keld was given a Gold award at 4 star guest accommodation level by Visit Britain. So far it is the only one in Keswick to have achieved this status and follows a refurbishment and extension that resulted in contemporary style bed and breakfast accommodation in a great location halfway between the town of Keswick and the shores of Lake Derwentwater-both are within a few minutes walk so once the car is parked all facilities are easily accessible by foot. Most of the bedrooms and public rooms have been enlarged and modernised. Although one or two bedrooms remain smaller in size the others are spacious with stunning curtains and locally made wooden furniture great beds and fine egyptian 300 count sheets and duvet covers. Duvets and top pillows are goosedown. Many rooms have views of the fells either directly or above the picturesque northern town of Keswick. The breakfast choice far surpasses most people s expectations and is regularly complimented! Much use is made of local organic and fair trade produce. Cars can be parked either in the limited hotel car park on the quiet road in front ( there is free parking in The Heads) or in the town car park opposite (free overnight parking) .

No network since firmware update (4.3) Galaxy S3
Hi, I updated my phone earlier today to jelly bean 4.3. Since then, I have stopped receiving network. The EMEI number doesn't show in the device info either. Tried restarting, taking out the sim card and putting it back in. Nothing works. It says this right after restarting, "currently unable to download, try again later". I bought my phone from Qatar and I am currently using it in UK (t-mobile) if that makes any difference, but it was working perfectly fine before. Anyone got a clue how to fix this? Please HELP!

Re: No network since firmware update (4.3) Galaxy S3
It's possible it got the wrong update (UK, rather than Middle Eastern). Bring it into a TMobile store and see if they can reflash it with the correct firmware.
If not, you may just have to wait for the 4.3.2 update.

What's It Made Of?
Deer Antler Spray is a natural supplement made from the velvet covering the bone and cartilage that eventually develops into a deer's hardened antlers. Each spring a deer's antler cycle begins again and it casts off the antler from the previous season, allowing the velvet to be harvested. Deer Antlers are one of the fastest growing membranes known to man. When growing, they're covered with a smooth, sensitive skin called velvet. The velvet is filled with blood vessels that feed the antlers with vitamins and minerals essential for their enormous growth. While the antlers are in its velvet stage, a freeze dried extraction process takes place and it is made into a formula that can be consumed. It can then be used for supplements and is found in pill, powdered, and spray forms. Deer Antler Extracts and Sprays are by far the most effective and potent of these products and may provide numerous health benefits. The higher the concentration of IGF-1 in a product, generally the faster and more prominent the results may be.
What's It Used For?
Deer Antler Spray is often used for its natural performance qualities and is praised by professional athletes and celebrities around the world. Deer antler velvet contains Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1). In humans, IGF-1 is primarily produced in the liver as a response to Human Growth Hormone (HGH) release. IGF-1 is a premier health, muscle, and anti-aging factor. Unfortunately, as we age, we tend to experience some HGH deficiency, which can result in a loss of IGF-1 (SEE CHART BELOW). There are many variables which affect serum IGF-1 levels such as age, sex, nutritional status and growth hormone secretion. IGF-1 levels and growth hormones are low at birth, increase substantially during childhood and puberty, and then begin to decline during the 2nd – 3rd decade of life. This decline continues steadily until the 7th decade of life. Deer Antler Spray may help you raise your IGF-1 levels safely and naturally so you can reach your health and fitness goals.
Help Raise Your IGF-1 Levels Safely and Naturally With Deer Antler Spray
We are often asked how Nutronics Labs' all-natural deer antler supplements can help with anti-aging. Chances are you've noticed the changes in your energy level, the way you look, and how you recover from exercise or injury as you've aged. The science behind this is simple.
The body naturally produces HGH and then subsequently converts it to IGF-1, which is why our cells are able to grow and recover in the first place. As we get older, the body decreases production of HGH, so our IGF-1 levels drop and we notice symptoms of aging-from slower recoveries to the visible changes you see in your skin. By taking Nutronics Labs' products, you are supplementing your body's natural supply of IGF-1 from another natural source, allowing your body to continue to function at the higher levels of health and wellness of years past.
How Is Deer Antler Spray Taken?
Advanced Delivery System Provides Better Absorption
Advanced Delivery System: Nutronics Labs IGF-1 Plus™ product uses a Lipo Gastric Delivery System which allows faster delivery and greater bio availability and longer duration of nutrient action. This has a distinct advantage over tablets, capsules and powder products. The Lipo Gastric Delivery System™ (LGDS) uses nano-particles that are delivered into the blood stream more rapidly, where they can be better absorbed and utilized without degradation in the liver as is experienced with other products.
Nutronics Labs IGF-1 Plus™ is derived from cold processed, concentrated Conu parvum velvet antler grown in New Zealand. Nutronics Labs holds the worldwide rights to this unique product and advanced technology along with Nutronics Labs' sublingual delivery system.
Is Deer Antler Spray Safe?
Are There Any Side Effects?
When Can I See Results From Using Deer Antler Spray?
Regardless of which IGF-1 Plus Formula you choose, it is Extremely Important
that you take it Every Day as directed! By doing so, this will enable you to Raise your IGF-1 levels. Then it is very important to Maintain those levels so that it can help you experience the Maximum Benefits of IGF-1 Plus!
Helps Promote a Powerful Immune System
Helps Support Heart Function
Helps Stimulate Damaged Nerves
Helps Support Healthy Weight Loss Regimens
Helps Promote Building Lean Muscle and Helps Support Improved Recovery After Workouts
Hyperplasia is the holy grail of performance enhancing benefits and occurs when muscle fibers actually split therefore creating more muscle fibers. Hypertrophy (muscle growth) is simply an increase in the size of the existing muscle cells and occurs from weight training and IGF-1 use. Hyperplasia + Hypertrophy = muscle growth, strength, and a new breed of amazing athlete.
Helps Promote Sexual Performance and Function by Raising Libido
What Are Growth Factors?
IGF-1 Plus™ (Deer Antler Velvet) Contains:
Growth Factors
- Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) I
- Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) II
- Nerve growth factor (NGF) and other neurotrophins
- Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-B)
- Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs)
- Epidermal growth factor (EGF)
- Erythropoietin (EPO)
- Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)
- Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)
- Transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-A)
- Growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF9)
- Interluekins
- Vascular endothelial growth factor
- Myostatin (GDF-8)
Contains an assortment of both Amino Acids (Essential & Non-Essential) and Free Form Amino Acids
What Do Growth Factors Do?
Insulin-like Growth Factors 1, 2 (IGF-1 and IGF-2) may help Arthritis
IGF-1 and IGF-2 increase lean body mass, reduce fat, build bone, muscle, and nerves while assisting in glucose metabolism. Research indicates that IGF-1 encourages the absorption of both chondroitin and glucosamine sulfate which may help in the promotion of healthy joints. Research also shows that a decline in IGF-1 levels is among the causes of bone disorder development. IGF-1 is considered by many scientists to be a marker in overall growth hormone status. IGF-1 looks and acts enough like insulin that your cell receptors may become suppressed, causing growth hormones to release stored fat. Through this mechanism, cells will use up fat rather than sugar or other carbohydrates. IGF-2 promotes tissue growth and is expressed primarily in embryonic and neonatal tissues.

Transforming Growth Factors A and B (TGF-A and TGF-B)
TGF-A promotes normal wound healing through a concerted effort with Epidermal Growth Factor and Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF). Without TGF-A, wound healing would be nearly impossible. TFG-B has an anti-inflammatory response to cytokine production and mesenchymal (MHC) expression. This promotes wound healing in a concerted effort with TGF-A, EGF and PDG while Inhibiting both macrophage and lymphocyte proliferation. Without TGF-B, wound healing would also be nearly impossible and an important "feedback loop" for cytokine anti-inflammatory production would not be in place. It is important to note that for normal tissue development to occur, whether it occurs through wound healing or regeneration, TGF A & B must be in a natural matrix of co-factors.
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF)
EGF promotes healthy tissue development while impeding abnormal growth. EGF has also been shown to decrease gastric acid production. It promotes mesenchymal (lymphatic), glial (nerve), and epithelial (skin) cell proliferation.
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)
Promotes venous, venule, artery, arteriole and capillary health by providing the essential co-factors for repairing and restoring damaged blood vessels.

Useful Tools: Fitbit Blaze sports watch and steps tracker
On Friday, facing a lot of work needing done yet on a rewrite and the house being a bit topsy-turvy with a remodel, summer-time kids running in and out, and a fragile ability to concentrate being a pseudo hallmark of being ADHD, I decamped for a hotel in Columbus to lock myself into a room until the novel I was rewriting was officially over.
Just a couple weeks earlier I'd traveled out to Indy Popcon, a pop culture oriented media convention where I sat at a table for the weekend. While I was there my Fitbit Charge HR gave up the ghost yet again.
I snagged a Fitbit HR last year to solve a couple of problems I had that I felt unsolved by the Apple Watch. I need decent battery life as it's hard for me to remember to keep something charged. I wanted a sleep tracker, a step tracker, and a way of tracking my heartbeat as I got back into more activity now that I'm cleared by my cardiologist.
The Fitbit HR was less of a big cost, at $130 or so for me to ease into the idea of trying a watch again (something I've never been able to keep on a wrist as a kid or young adult).
Sadly, the Fitbit's band material (some kind of rubber) started delaminating and pulling away from the top section of the Fitbit. They had some very excellent customer service when I called in and sent me a new one. But while at Indy Popcon it started delaminating again and then just stopped working.
I gave up.
But after four weeks without it a few things happened.
1) Being able to twist my wrist and see my heart rate, even if it may be off by a bit as the Fitbit's HR device isn't super super accurate, gives me a general sense of how I'm doing when taking long walks, exerting myself, or just feeling funny. It's like a quick way to check my pulse and see if I'm roughly where I think I should be. If it's running high, I have a much more accurate EKG monitor on the back of my phone I can use to get a more accurate reading. But as a first layer of managing my heart health while exercising, it's great. It's also something of a security blanket.
2) Being able to track my general resting heart rate over time is a good indicator to me of how my health profile is doing (rested, calm, etc). When things are stressful, or my health is declining, or I am not getting enough rest, my resting HR climbs pretty dramatically and I'm given a clear indicator of how things are going.
Six months ago, before getting cleared to run again and when I first snagged the HR, my resting heart rate was in the high 80s, which is not great. It's linked to early cardiac death and issues later in life. I'm now rocking more of a mid to high 60s. Better. High 60s when I'm stressing over a novel rewrite with a deadline.
3) Tracking my sleep is helpful. I overslept this morning by a couple hours and did the same the day before. Checking just the last five days of sleep reminded me that I had skipped a few hours of sleep Saturday night. The bill always comes due. Not having a log of sleep hours meant I couldn't tell if my tiredness came from sleep deprivation or something else. It's a useful self diagnostic.
4) There is a silent vibrate alarm function on the Fitbit that would alert me at 11:45pm that it was time to get ready for bed. Seems silly to most of you who can follow a schedule, but even after radically changing mine to a non late night schedule, I still don't have an inbuilt 'it's late' function in my brain. The vibrate at 11:45 was part of my 'go brush teeth and get in bed' cue that, once it had been off my wrist a few weeks, meant I started slipping back into my 'stay up late' habit and I was falling into some odd sleeping patterns.
Those were four very good reasons to call up customer service, as my Fitbit was still under warranty, and get another one.
But, whether it's my skin or being out in in the heat, the Charge HR and I clearly don't get along. And I started looking at the Apple Watch.
Negatives to the Apple Watch that I couldn't get past:
1) As far as I can tell there is are sleep tracking apps, but they have to be turned on. I'm not very good at remembering to do things. Automatic sleep tracking is where it's at. So the sleep tracking isn't as good. And, this leads into the next thing…
2) …short battery life. I'm, as mentioned, ADHD. The responsibility of charging a device once a day in order to use it… that's just too much. I thought, maybe, every morning, I could get up, take it off, and charge it while I was doing breakfast. And I would need to keep the watch on at night, in order to have sleep tracking. So it would have to be a morning charge. Which means I'd likely get sidetracked and leave it charging. I needed more than a single day's charge out of a watch that can also serve up my HR and track my sleep without fuss.
So, sadly, I figured the Apple Watch is going to be a Gen 2 or Gen 3 for me.
I went back to Fitbit and took a look at their new watch; the Fitbit Blaze Smart Fitness Watch [Amazon link is an affiliate link, I get a small cut if you order one, FYI]. It had one of the longer promised battery lives out of all the watches, worked with my iPhone, and I already was familiar with their app.
I ordered it to arrive Thursday, but it got delayed and in order to have it for the weekend I literally ambushed my postdude when he was somewhere else in town to ask for it a few hours early as I was headed down out of town to seclude myself and finish rewrites on the afore-mentioned book.
I've tried on the Apple Watch, the bands are vastly superior. The device is much nicer.
But the Blaze is rocking all my needs really well.
It handles all four of my points above. Heart rate tracking at a glance (and the newer technology than the Charge HR means I also see time of day and a graphic ring showing steps goal). Tracks my sleep automatically when I go to bed.
How does moving from a Charge HR to watch do for battery life? Fitbit claims 5 days battery life. I didn't charge it up when I got it, but it showed a full charge. I got it Friday, it lasted until Tuesday at dinner before I blinked and plugged it in.
That's slick.
Additionally, and I didn't know I was getting this functionality, the Blaze can synch up to my calendar's alerts and buzz me. That has been wonderful, as I use calendar alerts to keep me on task and set aside blocks of hours to do certain kinds of work and warn myself to take breaks (hand stretch breaks, meal times, etc). But in my home office I often mute or do not disturb my phone and put it on a desk, so the alerts have been nice.
I don't get any apps ecosystem like an Apple Watch, but this little device has been pretty on-point for all my needs and is about $100 cheaper.
I can't wait for the Apple Watch to hit the points I need, as I really would like a more precise band. My current Fitbit band is either slightly too loose or too tight. A slimmer, smaller profile on the watch would be welcome, but maybe I'm just not used to wearing watches. I also think the glimpse function (where you tilt your wrist to wake the watch up) is VASTLY better on the Apple Watch than the Fitbit Blaze, where a third of the time I find myself repeating the wrist flick.
I feel like there is this GIANT THING on my wrist even though I went for the smaller Blaze. I also felt like having a regular smaller Fitbit Charge HR was this GIANT THING on my wrist, though. I've not had anything there most of my life.
Also, do you realize how long it's been since I've had to read analog clocks to tell the time? I'm having to actually redevelop this mental model. What time is it? I, uh… Seven! It's seven! And a little bit.
All in all, it's surpassed my exceptions in the initial run. And that's nice.

Apparently something new- this guy claims he has a method that gets tons of "secret- laser targeted traffic" to any site or link.

1. Download Viral Video
2. Add your affiliate link to video
3. Upload to FaceBook
4. Wait for it to go Viral (Get shares etc)
Yes I'm being serious. Nothing we haven't seen a million times before.
Can you make money with methods like these? Yup.
Is it as easy as they say? Not really.
To be honest I would say there are countless more ways to use your time more efficiently and effectively online to see some actual REAL results (not just a random commission here and there)
If anyone is familiar with Kevin Sousa's Viral FaceBook strategy this is pretty much the same thing with worse training.

Interestingly looking at the affiliate link down the vvx sales page, it takes you to TrafficMafia and Aaron Darko promoting Empower Network. And yes, it does rely on getting multiple shares on facebook posts (that's the viral part) to eventually produce leads.
Do we really need a product to tell us this? Setting out to 'make a post go viral' seems to be missing one of the emerging rules: You need to provide valuable relevant content .
I mean you don't decide, your audience does. I doubt Traffic Fortune will work as easily as they claim.
Maybe this is why Frank Parker get so excited when his live demo works!

I bought this product and am sorry I did. It is actually Facebook Viral Formula. It is targeted to beginners and when I went through the set up process, I could see why. Experienced marketers could see right through it. It is a collection of videos promoting Facebook viral formula and the rest of the program is basically promoting other products.
The first 'red flag' was the first step of the setup process which is acquiring a domain name and hosting. We are almost forced to buy expensive hosting from Hosting Genius as a compulsory step to get a free lead funnel.
You can check out the review I posted on my blog, briangelliott.com.

Thanks for the heads up Warriors this landed in my inbox and sounded to good to be true sat through the sales blur then got a download link for $14. When you try to close the page it eventually takes you to a Binary Options trading video which you do not want to get involved with.

Thanks, guys, this saved me a lot of headache...I had watched the video, was intrigued but skeptical. Then I came here and did a quick search. I was hoping to see the person who is promoting this, but found nothing. That was a red flag to me.
A big shout out to those who purchased and found it not to be what it claimed. My hat's off to you guys.

Great work people: those who have called a scam a scam.
This is what being here should be all about.

You guys really know how too break a heart, but I would rather have my heart broken because I am falling in love stupidly with an idea, than to lose any more money on garbage software, or something that just blatantly is not gonna work as promised. I appreciate the Forum (big time) and for all of the advice and guidance provided here.
Thank You guys a million

You can contact the seller regarding your issue by going to: https://www.clicksure.com/customer/
Here you simply need to fill out your details related to the transaction and then the ticket is posted directly to the seller.
I hope this helps,

This Forum is awesome.
Every single post in this thread is negative and an eye-opener for naive people.
Most surprising -- but yet understandable-- is that the Vendor of this product didn't show up to say a word about the posted comments.
Thank you warriors!

I also received VVX link in my inbox, and here I am.
NO! I would never spend money on Frank Parker's products as I would never spend on Anthony Morison's. Stay away from them, guys.
Want targeted traffic?
Go to Safe-Swaps and choose your solo ad provider. Be wise. Read the reviews and choose someone with the highest rating. It may take you a few hours, but it's worth the time. Then, make an order.
Another way to drive massive quality traffic and make your ROI, try Advertise To Millions. It's the easiest, as well. Over 80% of my customers come from Advertise To Millions.
I've tried most of the "Push Button Magic Software" devices, regular solo ad mailings, safelists, traffic exchanges, Anthony Morison's YouTube marketing, PPC, PPV, FB marketing, LinkedIn, Free and Paid Classified Ads... Nothing, I mean NOTHING worked, accept SS and ATM.
