Alan Abraham who makes music as Portable and Bodycode, belongs to the very special character heads in the world of the electrical thump and sizzle. His releases amongst others were on Background, Context, Karat, Yore, Perlon, Spectral Sound and his own vehicle Sud Electronic. These abound only as they can from an independent-sovereign zigzag, they are right at home in the retail boisterousness; an island in the record bin. As well his debut for kindred spirits Musikkrause abounds also but as an autonomous, fulminating escapade in terms of lunacy, elation, freedom rocking a bacchanal attitude. Alan's inspirational sources appear to be so diverse, that he has worked in a nonchalant embodiment of melancholy-tinted voice, polyrhythmic afro-constructs and industrial/experimental drone refinements to this tone cosmos. With that he developed, supported on the pillars of house and techno, a frankness which is seldom heard. Two personable pieces - elementary and pretentious - play from a frank perspective that comes across so fresh and ... understood. They slip in unabashed and take care for an astounding public display. A heaven full of genial hypnosis and a human monstrosity! A Ok Then: Big-mouthed beats held at gunpoint meet a restrained early nineties zeitgeist and today's production know-how. Here you find the impact from techno and the ease of house excessively together. Brimming with an energetic; this stamina-burner effectively evaporates any exhaustion for the soulful in tumult on the parquet flooring of the world. B The Shallow Final: An absolutely intense nocturnal killer which fashions a lucid evening experience. A dancing sound-subsonic which even before wavy breathed-on expiration doesn't close the door. A flurry of deep, post-wave house. Yet enough crud and goo on the hands for an ecstatic control of the dance floor.

Long time no see! Is anyone really surprised I lost track of time, again? Anyway…
My time with Disney ended on July 4th, 2016. I decided to come home and be with my husband and my cat and my Louisiana friends again. It was a difficult decision to be sure, but I'm glad I'm back home. I'm now working on so many different things and I couldn't be happier.
In a little over 2 weeks we will finally be moving to a better neighborhood and nicer apartment with my best friend, Rhea. I'm currently working at the department store again, in a different department, and not hating it. I'm also rewriting my book. My first ever, honest to goodness attempt at editing and modifying and fixing the world inside my head.
Things are good.
And, hopefully, I'll be back here again. Writing, reviewing, making lists. I'm not entirely sure how consistent I'll be with all work and writing and a couple of more secret projects I'm working on, but I'm going to try to be here some.
That's all I have. Nothing well thought out or planned, but I wanted to give a little hello. Now, It's time to pack!

The excuses must stop as Wenger has to face up to flaws
New stadium not home, sweet homeSquad too thin to compete for title
With Sam Allardyce's stinging condemnation of a man who "always looks for excuses" still ringing in his ears, the challenge facing Arsène Wenger is to prove him wrong.
The Arsenal manager insisted that there was nothing wrong with his side apart from their points total after losing at the Reebok Stadium last weekend, a specious claim shattered by the 2-1 defeat away to Fulham on Wednesday. Having failed to rouse his players for their moment of truth, Wenger must begin to be honest with himself by admitting to his side's shortcomings, with the main problems listed below.
Struggling to feel at home in the Emirates Stadium
Wenger finally admitted this week that the club's new home had caused his side difficulties — "We moved to a…

Substance P is known to be involved in respiratory rhythm and central pattern-generating mechanisms, especially during early development. We therefore studied respiratory responses in transgenic newborn mice (Tac1−/−) lacking substance P and neurokinin A (NKA). In vivo, the effects of intermittent isocapnic hypoxia (IH) and hypercapnia were studied using whole body flow plethysmography at P2-3 and P8-10. In vitro, anoxic responses and the effects of hypocapnic and hypercapnic conditions were studied in brain stem-spinal cord preparations (C4 activity) at P2. Hypoxic challenge considerably modified the respiratory activity in transgenic mice displayed in vivo as an attenuated increase in tidal volume during IH. Transgenic mice also showed a more prominent posthypoxic frequency decline in vivo, and posthypoxic neuronal arrests appeared more often in vitro. We recognized two types of sigh activity: with or without a following pause. During IH, the amount of sighs with a pause decreased and those without increased, a redistribution that became stronger with age only in controls. Intermittent anoxia induced long-term facilitation effects in controls, but not in Tac1−/− animals, manifested as an increase in burst frequency in vitro and by an augmentation of ventilation during posthypoxic periods in vivo. Thus our data demonstrate that a functional substance P/NKA system is of great importance for the generation of an adequate respiratory response to hypoxic provocation in newborn mice and during early maturation. It also indicates that substance P (and/or NKA) is involved in the development of the plasticity of the respiratory system.
- augmented breath
- apnea
- neonatal
- sudden infant death syndrome
the respiratory control system is dependent on a sophisticated balance and specific participation of different neuromodulator systems. Thus the respiratory control system must be stable and yet respond to different stimuli like emotions, exercise, speech, and diseases. Substance P is considered to be one of the neuromodulators involved in this complex and finely tuned system (8, 31, 38, 78, 83). It is an undecapetide belonging to the tachykinin family also comprising neurokinin (NK) A, NKB, neuropeptide K, and neuropeptide γ. All tachykinins are encoded by the Tac1 gene in mouse, except for NKB, which is encoded by the Tac2 gene. Substance P preferentially acts via NK-1 receptors, whereas NKA and NKB interact with NK-2 and NK-3 receptors, respectively (63, 65, 67). Substance P is one of the most abundant and widespread neuropeptides in the central and peripheral nervous system and is involved in several physiological processes, including cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nociceptive processes, and also modulates the immune response (24, 33, 48, 55). It is present in sensory afferents from arterial baroreceptors and chemoreceptors and is also found in areas in the brain stem thought to be involved in respiratory regulation (19, 25, 27, 35, 36). One of the areas is the ventrolateral medulla, including the pre-Bötzinger complex, which is assumed to generate respiratory rhythms as eupnic breathing, sighing, and gasping (23, 34, 69, 70). A selective lesion of NK-1-expressing neurons in the pre-Bötzinger complex results in a profoundly abnormal respiratory pattern (22, 76, 77), which indicates a vital role for these substance P-sensitive neurons in generating a normal respiratory response.
The respiratory system undergoes crucial changes during the perinatal period, and substance P may play an important role during this maturation (50, 58, 60, 79, 80, 83). Attention to breathing pattern recognition has grown in recent years as the idea of the plasticity of the neural network has emerged (15, 34, 46). This developmental plasticity of respiratory control is especially vulnerable during this critical period (for review, see Refs. 7, 21, 61), and intermittent hypoxia has been shown to cause a structural and functional modification of the central nervous system even after the impact has ceased (62). This modulation, referred to as long-term facilitation (LTF), is considered an adaptive mechanism adjusting breathing to different environmental factors (5, 29, 53, 56). Moreover, human infant victims of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) have elevated levels of substance P in medulla oblongata (4, 43, 49), and substance P is decreased in the brain stem in Rett syndrome patients suffering from an abnormal breathing pattern, including apneas, during early development (11, 66).
We therefore wanted to study the effect of intermittent hypoxia on newborn animals lacking the Tac1 gene. By combining in vivo and in vitro methods, we are able to estimate the relative contribution of respiratory effects at different levels. The objectives of this study were thus to determine 1) the intermittent hypoxic and hypercapnic respiratory response and developmental changes, 2) whether substance P/NKA is involved in the plasticity of respiratory network, with and without peripheral input, and 3) alterations in central chemosensitivity in newborn mice lacking the Tac1 gene.
Homozygous Tac1 gene deleted mice of both sexes were used. The Tac1−/− deleted mouse line was generated from C57/BL6J and kindly provided by Dr. Andreas Zimmer (84). C57/BL6J mice pups of both sexes (B & K Universal, Sollentuna, Sweden) were used as controls. The transgenic mice were viable and fertile. All pups were born naturally and left with their mothers until assigned age. Animals were kept on a regular 12-h light-dark cycle and treated according to the guidelines approved by the local ethics committee (see below). The pups were studied at either postnatal day 2 or 3 (P2-3) or at postnatal day 8, 9, or 10 (P8-10). In all groups, pups came from at least three different litters and were only tested once.
In vivo protocols and ventilatory measurements.
Ventilatory measurements were made using noninvasive, whole body flow plethysmography. All studies were performed between 0900 and 1500 to control for possible daily fluctuations in respiratory patterns. Pups were placed in a plethysmograph chamber (MTA, Karolinska University Hospital) in which they could move freely (the chamber volume was 35 ml for newborn mice and 100 ml for the older age group). The airflow through the box was maintained at 100 ml/min, and gases were exchanged using a computer controlled valve switch. Control experiments verified that a 95% gas exchange had occurred after 30 s. The chamber was connected to a highly sensitive direct airflow sensor (TRN3100, Kent Scientific, Litchfield, CT), and the signal was amplified with a four-channel amplifier (PN 770 S/N5, Somedic Sales, Hörby, Sweden). The signal was digitally converted with a sampling rate of 100 Hz and analyzed using Dasylab software (Datalog, Mönchengladbach, Germany). The obtained values were then used to calculate respiratory frequency (f; breaths/min), tidal volume (Vt; μl), and ventilation (V̇e; ml/min). Vt and V̇e were divided by body weight (g) and expressed as microliters per gram and milliliters per gram per min, respectively. The method used is a completely noninvasive and unrestrained approach, which includes refraining from measuring rectal temperature. Since the open-chamber, flow-through system registers amplitude differences in the outgoing airflow, which are due to several factors (14), the setup does not allow determination of absolute tidal volumes. We therefore only compare relative values between animals and groups. Ambient temperature within the chamber was measured continuously using a digital thermometer and recorded in parallel with the flow signal. It was maintained at 33 ± 0.5°C in accordance with the thermoneutral range for mice of similar age by immersing the chamber in a thermostat-controlled water bath (39).
Animals were kept 3 min in the chamber in room air for acclimatization before recording started. In the hypoxic protocol, eight animals in each group at P2-3 and nine animals in each group at P8-10 [wild-type (WT) group and transgenic group] were included. They were exposed to normoxia (21% O2) for 3 min (baseline values), followed by three episodes of IH and mild hypercapnia (8% O2, 3% CO2). The hypoxic mixture contained 3% CO2 to maintain near-normal arterial Pco2 values during hypoxia (10, 45, 54). Each isocapnic hypoxic period lasted 5 min followed by a normoxic recovery period of 2 min. In the hypercapnic protocol, 9 animals in each group at P2-3 and 10 animals in each group (WT group and transgenic group) were included. This protocol also included 3 min of normoxia, to obtain baseline values, followed by 15 min of moderate hypercapnia (5% CO2, 21% O2).
The pups were weighed after the final recording. Analysis of the respiratory signal was made on 30-s segments without movement artifacts that were chosen subjectively within assigned intervals. For basal respiration, this interval was during minute 3 of air (basal respiration) and for each hypoxic period during minutes 2, 3, and 5. During hypercapnia, minutes 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 were selected. The results of the respiratory measurements were used for comparative analyses only (14). The number of apneas (defined as ventilatory pauses longer than twice the duration of the preceding breaths) was calculated manually, as were sighs or augmented inspiratory breaths [AIB; defined as biphasic inspiration, twice the Vt of the preceding breaths (9, 74)]. Two different types of AIB were observed, one type with a following pause (47) and another type of AIB characterized as an incomplete sigh with an inspiratory phase of more than twice the amplitude of preceding breaths, immediately followed by an expiration but without a following pause (16) (⇓Fig. 2, A and B). All measurements were made in at least 15-s-movement artefact-free sequences.
Brain stem-spinal cord preparation.
Experiments were performed on the brain stem-spinal cord preparation of 2-day-old (P2) pups. The isolated brain stem and cervical spinal cord were obtained under isoflurane anesthesia as described previously (42). The brain stem was then rostrally cut between the sixth cranial nerve roots and the lower border of the trapezoid body and caudally between sixth and seventh spinal nerves. The isolated preparation was continuously perfused at the rate of 3.5–4.5 ml/min in a 2-ml chamber with a solution containing (in mM) 130 NaCl, 5.4 KCl, 0.8 KH2PO4, 0.8 CaCl2, 1 MgSO4, 26 NaHCO3, 30 glucose and equilibrated with 95% O2 and 5% CO2 at 28°C; pH was set at 7.4 [control artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF)].
In vitro protocols, data recording, and analysis.
Extracellular recordings monitored inspiratory discharges of respiratory motoneurons with glass suction electrodes applied to the proximal cut end of the C4 ventral roots of the spinal nerves. The burst frequency and amplitude were analyzed. The burst frequency was calculated as a number of C4 bursts per minute. The respiratory C4 burst amplitude was analyzed in integrated and smoothed (τ = 50 ms) recordings. Burst amplitude was quantified (arbitrary units) as the distance from the baseline to the peak of the integrated burst slope. The control values of the inspiratory burst frequency and amplitude were calculated during application of normoxic and normocapnic ACSF as the mean of the last 3 min before testing ACSF application. During hypocapnic and hypercapnic conditions, the burst frequency and amplitude were calculated as the mean of the last 3 min of ACSF application. During anoxia, the burst frequency and amplitude were calculated as a mean over 1 min when the maximal effect was observed. Axoscope software and Digidata 1200B interface (Axon Instruments, Foster, CA) were used to collect electrophysiological data. Solution Po2 and Pco2 in the chamber were measured using an ALB 505 analyzer (Radiometer, Copenhagen, Denmark). Offline analysis was performed employing Clampfit 8.02 (Axon Instruments), DATAPAC 2K2 (RUN Technologies, Laguna Hills, CA), Statistica 6 (Stat Soft, Tulsa, OK), Sigma Stat (SPSS, Chicago, IL), and Origin 6.0 (Microcal Software, Northampton, MA) software for PC.
After the preparation was superfused with control ACSF (with Po2 of ∼85 kPa and Pco2 of ∼5 kPa) for 40 min and C4 activity reached a steady state, the control perfusate was replaced by testing solutions. In protocol 1, control ACSF was replaced for 25 min by hypocapnic solution (pH 7.2, Po2 of ∼85 kPa and Pco2 of ∼2 kPa) equilibrated with 92% O2, 6% N2, and 2% CO2, followed for the next 25 min by a hypercapnic solution (pH 7.8, Po2 of 85 kPa, and Pco2 of ∼8 kPa) equilibrated with 92% O2 and 8% CO2. Then, after washing the preparations with control ACSF for another 30 min, the anoxic solution (Po2 of ∼15 kPa, Pco2 of ∼5 kPa) equilibrated with 95% N2 and 5% CO2 was applied for 15 min followed by control ACSF for another 40 min. Supplementary sessions were designed to estimate possible effect of preliminary exposure to hypocapnic and hypercapnic ACSF on anoxic response in WT and Tac1−/− prepartions. For this, in protocol 2, anoxic ACSF was applied to the preparations at the same period of time as in protocol 1 but without exposure to hypocapnic and hypercapnic ACSF. In protocol 3, after initial 40-min adaptation, the intermittent anoxia consisting of three 3-min intervals of anoxia separated by 5 min of normoxia was applied to the preparations. The last anoxic episode was followed by a 40-min interval of washing out with the control ACSF.
Statistical considerations.
Statistical analysis of baseline values (displayed in Table 1) was performed by Student's t-test, as were other paired comparisons. For multiple statistical comparisons, one- and two-way ANOVA (Statistica software, Statsoft Scandinavia, Uppsala, Sweden) designs for repeated or independent measurements were used where appropriate. For respiratory parameters, repeated-measures ANOVA were used with WT, transgenic mice, and gender as between factors and repeated hypoxic exposure (at 3–8, 10–15, and 17–22 min) or hypercapnic exposure (measured at minutes 3, 6, 9, 12, 15) as the within-subjects factor. Post hoc analysis was conducted by the Tukey's test. Statistical analysis of respiratory pattern (i.e., sighs, apneas, and AIB) was performed using the Mann-Whitney's U-test. All statistical analyses were made on absolute values before normalization for graphical clarity. Data are shown as means ± SD and means ± SE in figures for graphical clarity. Unless stated otherwise, all P values refer to two-way ANOVA. Significance level was set at P < 0.05.
Ethical considerations.
This experiment has been approved by the local ethical committee, i.e., Stockholms norra djurförsöksetiska nämnd (Dnr N88/02 and 166/04).
In vivo.
During basal conditions, transgenic mice in age group P2-3 displayed significantly less apneas compared with WT mice. However, there were no differences in f, Vt/body wt or V̇e/body wt between groups at any age. Similarly, no differences were found in the frequency of AIB of any type in either age group. The body weight (g) was significantly higher in transgenic mice than in WT in both age groups. Basal conditions are summarized in Table 1.
Intermittent isocapnic hypoxia.
In age group P2-3, no clear respiratory response to isocapnic IH was seen (Fig. 1, A, C, and E). At P8-10, Vt/body wt increased significantly more in WT compared with Tac1−/− mice, whereas both experimental groups displayed a similar increase in f during isocapnic IH. Transgenic mice thus retained their immature response (Fig. 1D). Consequently, a significant attenuation of net ventilation (V̇e/body wt) was seen in transgenic mice compared with WT (Fig. 1F). During the normoxic periods following each hypoxic challenge, f increased in both experimental groups at age P2-3 (second and third posthypoxic period; see Fig. 1A). In contrast, in transgenic mice at age P8-10, the f was significantly depressed compared with baseline, whereas in the WT group f returned close to baseline (Fig. 1B). Furthermore, both Vt/body wt and V̇e/body wt were significantly depressed below baseline in transgenic animals compared with WT that never returned to baseline levels (Fig. 1F).
The number of apneas per minute, seen during normal conditions (P2-3), remained significantly less in transgenic mice during isocapnic IH (P = 0.010, P = 0.024, P = 0.036 in first, second, and third posthypoxic period, respectively; data not shown). This difference disappeared with age, when apneas in WT decreased to a very few, as expected at P8-10.
The total AIB activity (i.e., with and without pause combined) increased in both groups during the first hypoxic period and then declined in WT but remained high in Tac1−/− mice at age P2-3 (P = 0.018 in third hypoxic challenge compared with WT; data not shown). At age P8-10, there was a similar tendency, but this did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.20 in third hypoxic period).
The distribution of the two types of AIB was different between the experimental groups in response to intermittent isocapnic hypoxia, where the amount of sighs with a pause decreased and those without increased, a redistribution that became stronger with age in controls but not in transgenic mice (Fig. 2, C–F).
The hypercapnic ventilatory response was similar between experimental groups at both ages. Likewise, there were no differences between WT and Tac1−/− mice (in either age group) in the frequency of AIB (with or without pause) or apneas when challenged with moderate hypercapnia.
In vitro.
Respiratory activity was monitored throughout the whole recording session in control experiments to estimate the stability of the preparation since conditions may change during longer experiments. In control (normoxic) conditions, the basic burst frequency was similar in both experimental groups: 5.85 ± 1.3 bursts/min (n = 16) in WT vs. 5.01 ± 1.2 bursts/min (n = 18) in Tac1−/−. Hypocapnic and hypercapnic ACSF significantly and equally affected the burst frequency in WT (n = 9) and Tac1−/− (n = 10) preparations, decreasing it by 86–91% of control values during hypocapnia (P < 0.001) and increasing it by 129–133% during hypercapnia (P < 0.001).
In both transgenic and WT mouse brain stem preparations, the anoxic response was characterized by an initial transient increase in burst frequency and a reduction in burst amplitude. The burst amplitude was subsequently restored, and the bursting continued throughout anoxic conditions with a significantly decreased frequency (Fig. 3). Moreover, resumption of oxygenation induced appearance of posthypoxic neural arrest (PHNA) in some preparations.
There were no differences between groups in anoxic frequency response, which was also independent of the preliminary exposure of the WT (n = 6) and Tac1−/− (n = 8) preparations to hypocapnic-hypercapnic conditions. During prolonged anoxia, the frequency increased up to 242 ± 24.7% in WT and 254 ± 46.5% in Tac1−/− mice (P < 0.001). However, the burst amplitude reduction during the anoxic response was significantly less in Tac1−/− mice, decreasing to 51.4 ± 18.4% (n = 16) of control values in transgenic mice vs. 19.5 ± 12.3% in WT (n = 18) (t-test, P < 0.001). The duration period when the burst amplitude recovered in the case of prolonged anoxia was also significantly shorter in Tac1−/− mice compared with WT mice: 234.74 ± 100.5 vs. 328.4 ± 61.4 s (t-test, P < 0.05). Furthermore, PHNA following resumption of oxygenation appeared significantly more often in Tac1−/− preparations, and it was observed in 31% (5 of 16) of WT and in 83% (15 of 18) of Tac1−/− preparations (z-test, P < 0.001).
The changes in the inspiratory burst frequency were also very similar in Tac1−/− and WT preparations during intermittent anoxic challenge (P > 0.05; Fig. 4; Table 2). After intermittent anoxia, PHNA was seen in 43% (3 of 7) of WT and 100% (10 of 10) of Tac1−/− preparations (Fig. 4; z-test, P < 0.05).
Since brief repetitive hypoxia can induce long-term modification of the respiratory activity both in vivo and in vitro (5, 29, 53), we monitored the changes in the respiratory output 10 and 40 min after the last anoxic episode. We also determined the possible effects of single prolonged anoxia. For these two types of anoxic conditions, the burst amplitude did not differ from control preanoxic values in either mouse strain. Ten minutes after anoxia, the burst frequency also returned to control values in both WT and Tac1−/− preparations. However, 40 min after intermittent anoxia, the frequency was significantly increased again, up to 134.9 ± 24% of control values in WT (n = 7, P < 0.01, t-test with Bonferroni correction), but still no changes (105.4 ± 24%, n = 10) were found in Tac1−/− preparations. The single prolonged anoxia did not induce significant changes in frequencies in WT (114.6 ± 24%, n = 10) or Tac1−/− (119.3 ± 24%, n = 8) preparations (Fig. 5).
This is the first study demonstrating the involvement of substance P (and/or NKA) in LTF of respiration in newborn mice and that this potentiation also occurs in the brain stem. Moreover, we demonstrate impairment in development of a normal hypoxic respiratory response in transgenic newborn mice. Our data confirm previous observations that, in the early postnatal period, substance P and the activation of NK-1-receptor is important when the organism is challenged by hypoxia (59, 78, 83). It also corroborates previous studies indicating a differential involvement of substance P in the regulation of ventilation frequency and amplitude (8, 52, 68, 82, 83).
Basal conditions.
Deletion of the Tac1 gene did not affect eupnic breathing or respiratory motor output during normoxic conditions at age P2-3. These data are in agreement with other in vitro studies, showing that severe inherited imbalance in substance P-mediated signaling, such as the lack of substance P in PPT-A mutant mice (73) or NK-1 receptors (57, 59), results in apparently normal respiratory activity.
Neonatal apneas (obstructive, mixed, or central) during eupnea may, beyond owing to immaturity of the respiratory network, also be physiological and are vital for maintenance of lung compliance and alveoli recruitment. Our finding that Tac1−/− mice have fewer apneas in vivo at P2-3 during normoxic and hypoxic conditions may reflect a disturbed peripheral input (i.e., from pulmonary stretch receptors or chemoreceptors). Since we found no clear apneic pattern in vitro, we assume that these apneas are of obstructive or mixed type.
Our results show that f increases in response to hypercapnia, both in vivo and in vitro, in both Tac1−/− mice and WT, indicating that substance P is probably not involved in the hypercapnic respiratory response to the same extent as in the response to hypoxia. This is coherent with previous observations (44, 83), and other studies have shown that the serotonergic system is of greater importance for the CO2 balance (64, 72).
Intermittent isocapnic hypoxia and anoxia.
In this study, we could see no clear respiratory response to hypoxia in age group P2-3 in vivo. Although this may be due to methodological aspects, e.g., insensitivity of the plethysmography setup, it could also reflect compensatory mechanisms such as changes in metabolic rate, which is a known hypoxic defence in newborn mammals (40). The hypoxic response was affected in Tac1−/− preparations during anoxic conditions by 1) less amplitude reductions, 2) a shorter recovery period when the burst amplitude was restored, and 3) more frequent PHNA following resumption of oxygenation. Furthermore, unlike in WT preparations, intermittent anoxia did not induce any LTF effect on bursting frequency. The anoxic frequency response in Tac1−/− preparations was similar to WT, whereas PPT-A mutant mice showed an enhanced anoxic response (73). This discrepancy may be explained partly by different genetic background of PPT-A (CD-1) and Tac1−/− (C57BL/6J) mouse strains, and a possible influence of genetic knockout models themselves (6, 84). Thus, in line with previous reports (73, 84), our data suggest that, in Tac1−/− mice, compensatory mechanisms develop during early ontogeny allowing normal respiratory activity under ordinary conditions but not during anoxic stress. The nature of this partial adaptation is not clear, and the compensatory mechanisms might include different respiratory network characteristics and/or substituting neuromodulators. For example, glycine, opioids, adenosine, and serotonin have all been demonstrated to affect PHNA duration (28, 30). Thus one or several of these neuromodulatory systems might exert a compensatory mechanism on the respiratory output in Tac1−/− mice. Although the physiological significance of PHNA is unclear, it may be related to a decreasing metabolism in the period following hypoxia (13) when the respiratory neurons of the ventrolateral medulla recover after reoxygenation (3). This may result in a possible desynchronization within the ventrolateral medullary respiratory network. Since the transgenic mice preparations demonstrate a greater probability of PHNA, this may be a manifestation of a slower recovery and thus a decreased plasticity of the respiratory network and lack of LTF. This also suggests that substance P is involved in facilitating respiratory rhythm generation, as shown previously for the serotonergic system (1, 18, 29). It has also recently been shown that the medullary serotonin system is affected in sudden infant death victims (51). This may be of interest in relation to substance P-ergic neurotransmission, since serotonin and substance P are extensively colocalized in neurons of the ventral medulla (32, 75). Further investigations are needed to understand their functional relationship, also with reference to Rett syndrome (66, 81).
Our observations at P8-10, where Vt/body wt increases in response to isocapnic IH in WT but not in transgenic mice, whereas both groups display a similar increase in f, are consistent with previous observations on PPT-A knockout mice (44). Thus Tac1−/− mice display a sustained immaturity of the respiratory network. The increase in V̇e during posthypoxic periods (Fig. 1F) in WT, previously described in rats (45), probably also reflects a LTF of the respiratory network. The volatility of the central respiratory network is manifested by the prominent posthypoxic frequency decline and concurrent severe depression of Vt/body wt below baseline seen in transgenic mice at age P8-10, contrasting with the normal response seen in WT mice (12, 45) (Fig. 1D). This effect has, in other studies, been demonstrated to be due to carotid body activation (2, 5, 37) and to be serotonin dependent (1, 17, 18, 45, 53). We here demonstrate that substance P is also involved in this mechanism and that the posthypoxic frequency decline seems to originate at a central level.
In the analysis of the breathing pattern, we recognized two distinct types of AIB (16) (see Fig. 2, A and B). The pause or apnea following the AIB might be due to augmenting expiratory cells that inhibit other respiratory cells, which might be of importance for the respiratory network to be reorganized (47). We suggest that AIB followed by a pause have the characteristics of a sigh and that AIB without a pause represents another type of sigh activity dominating during hypoxia. The latter may still originate from the same neural network within the ventral respiratory group. AIB is a periodic phenomenon known to prevent atelectasis and to increase lung compliance but may also represent reconfigurative properties of the central respiratory network (20, 34, 41, 71, 74). This is in line with previous data where hypoxia decreased both the inspiratory time in the augmented breath and the refractory time thereafter, indicating a central mechanism of pattern generation (9, 20, 34). Moreover, deficits in sigh activity have been shown in infants to correlate to SIDS (26), and further studies are needed to understand the underlying mechanisms and physiological role of augmented breaths.
In conclusion, we here demonstrate, in vivo and in vitro, that transgenic newborn mice lacking substance P and NKA possess an abnormal respiratory response and breathing pattern during hypoxic, but not hypercapnic, stress. Our results contribute to the understanding of LTF as a consequence of isocapnic IH and indicate that substance P is an important neuromodulator for an adequate respiratory response. Our data also suggest that Tac1 gene deletion results in an impaired plasticity of respiratory control at a central level. A properly functioning substance P-ergic system may therefore be of great importance to avoid the worse clinical outcome in SIDS and the respiratory disturbance seen in patients suffering from Rett syndrome.

The following is from the Honolulu Advertiser:
'Mayhem' Miller acquitted of burglary, assault
By Ken Kobayashi
Advertiser Staff Writer
Professional mixed-martial arts fighter Jayson "Mayhem" Miller was acquitted this afternoon of kicking open the locked door of his girlfriend's Nu'uanu apartment and assaulting the man there.
A Circuit Court jury deliberated for several hours following a 2 1/2-day trial before finding Miller not guilty of first-degree burglary, third-degree assault and fourth-degree criminal property damage.
Miller, 25, was accused of breaking into the apartment at about 6 a.m. Dec. 16 last year and assaulting Casey Hewes, who was at the residence.
The prosecution contended that Miller was probably drunk when kicked the door because he suspected Catherine Tanaka was with another man and he wanted to "hurt whoever he found in there."
But Miller's defense was that he didn't know anyone was with his girlfriend and he kicked the door to wake her after she didn't answer him knocking on the door for about 25 minutes.
Miller did not attack Hewes and tried several times to leave, but Hewes kept grabbing him, his defense lawyer David Hayakawa said.
If convicted of first-degree burglary, Miller could have faced a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.

REPORT #1,132: A $900 million rapid transit system of half light rail, half fast buses is being recommended for London. The alleged benefits, however, could be dependent on city council's willingness to tell people where they can live and work in the future.
Monday, Nov. 31, 2015 – London Ontario
Over the telephone from his London home where he's happily retired, former London Transit general manager Larry Ducharme makes a crisp, clear point:
"This debate should not be about rapid transit. We need rapid transit. It's about what kind of rapid transit we need."
Mr. Ducharme wrote the book on rapid transit for London while he ran what is now regarded as the most efficient public transportation system in Ontario, one that gets by with the smallest per capita subsidy from its host municipality of any major city in Canada.
He first raised the subject with city council as far back as 2006, arguing then London Transit was nearing the breaking point. Its structure needed to be completely reorganized, and the best way to do that was by adding spines of rapid transit, around which the regular service could be grouped.
To sketch out what was required to fix its problem, London Transit developed a long-term growth strategy which recommended "a move to an enhanced 'nodes and corridor' design employing a bus rapid transit (BRT) platform along two key corridors which intersect the city. The two key corridors would serve as the spine of the system and would be supported by improved frequency and redefinition of the routing of the existing service to feed the bus rapid transit lines."
Such a system, Mr. Ducharme wrote in a report to the London Transit Commission in 2013, must recognize "there were a number of fundamental characteristics required for a sustainable transit system: The system must be effective in design; efficient in delivery; customer focused, dependable and affordable."
Mr. Ducharme's view of how public transportation should evolve in London was later written into the city's transportation master plan, a document which sets out how to move people around this growing city over the next 20 years. It is also the document which began the drive toward a rapid transit system.
Today, within the segment of the London population that cares about transportation issues and understands the possibilities, there is strong support for rapid transit, especially given the significant capital costs will be paid either by newcomers – through development charges on new homes and businesses – or by other levels of government.
But that support was gauged when London Transit and city council were considering a fast bus system. Less clear, today, is whether that support migrates in large measure to cover the far more expensive light rail (LRT) alternative.
Yet in the report earlier this month to city council, euphemistically described as an update but really a blatant sales pitch for light rail, the generally perceived support for rapid transit is translated often as light rail.
Missing too is what you might argue is the most important of the principles Mr. Ducharme enunciated – affordable. Instead, financial considerations are now wrapped into a principle called "ease of implementation and operational viability."
And the cost has ballooned. Mr. Ducharme estimated a bus rapid transit system would cost $381.5 million, about $300 million of which was for road work. The current estimate, for the hybrid system recommended in the update, is about $900 million. It would be half light rail, half fast buses.
City council proposes to pay $125 million of the cost, the rest to come from provincial and federal coffers.
While no business case is provided for the hybrid system in the update, it does argue confidentially in favour because LRT "can be perceived as a premium service thereby attracting more new riders to transit. . . . LRT stands to transform the image of transit in London in a more pronounced way, encouraging more discretionary riders to use transit over other modes of transportation. . . . From a city building and community building perspective, the permanency of the rail infrastructure associated with the LRT provides an advantage. Residents and businesses perceive an advantage in being close to the LRT, which is attractive to community investment and this can lead to greater demand for residential and business development."
No evidence is offered for those claims.
In his report, however, Mr. Ducharme raises a cautionary note: "LRT is often referenced as being a catalyst for reaching appropriate density and economic growth in that it leads to development. One of the hard truths identified (is) that the potential of rapid transit to spur development depends on critical alignments to key development policies and programs respecting land use planning, development, redevelopment, economic development and job growth plans."
In other words, unless city council is prepared to make some difficult decisions about where people can live and work in the future, the bonus LRT allegedly offers won't emerge. It is worth noting London councils over the years have not shown much willingness to do this.
Mr. Ducharme maintains a BRT system can also be a city-building catalyst. "Both BRT and LRT can play a role in the development of the corridors they serve, the issue is convincing developers that BRT can be just as positive," he wrote. "Successful BRT implementations have overcome this strategy through the use of permanent and attractive transit stations or hubs along the BRT corridor and right of way treatments (permanency)."
He has one further comment council should consider very carefully before a final decision is made.
"Realized capacity will be dependent upon demand, and without the demand, LRT becomes more expensive to operate," Mr. Ducharme wrote. "This scenario is evidenced in a review of North American cities with both LRT and bus systems in place indicating that the hourly operating cost for an LRT vehicle is approximately double that of one bus, primarily due to the LRT line operating below capacity, in other words it was found that with few exceptions the cities in question did not have sufficient ridership demand along the corridors to realize the lower capacity cost benefit.
"It is worth noting that such performance can put the financial stability of the entire transit system at risk."
Oops, KC as for your comment,
"It treats riders like they are nuisances and their time like it is of no importance."
Just, thank the liberal union attitude………it STINKS!

From a young age, inspired by various books she had read, Vicki began dreaming of visiting far-flung destinations. After graduating from the University of Sheffield with a degree in accounting and economics, she set off on her first long-term trip away – starting in Southeast Asia, where she first fell in love with scuba diving. This is where her passion for travel was ignited further, inspiring her to explore more of the world over the next few years, discovering new destinations for her wish-list in each place she visited.
Having visited all seven continents, in 2010, Vicki decided it was time to settle a little and so began teaching English abroad. This afforded her the opportunity to really get to know the places she was living, as well as travelling around the lesser-explored nearby areas. Upon her return to the UK, inspired by her passion for travel, culture and a desire to share her experiences with others, she embarked on a career within the travel industry. Since working on the Hidden Beaches team at Audley, she has visited the Maldives, Indonesia, Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo.

I recommend visiting - Bali
My impression of Bali before I arrived was incredibly different to the one I left with - I was absolutely blown away by its beauty, culture and variety. Travelling off the beaten track and to many hidden pockets, I saw so many sides to the island that I had no idea existed. The Hidden Beaches properties really live up to the name; with each beach and resort offering something completely different. It is an excellent destination for diving, and somewhere that I look forward to returning to in the future.
I recommend staying at - Tugu Lombok
Tugu is perfectly located on the island of Lombok for easy access to the divers' paradise of the Gili Islands. It also has an amazing house reef which is great for snorkelling and free diving, located directly off the beach which has the whitest sand on the island. The menu offers some amazing local dishes both from Lombok and neighbouring Indonesian islands, as well as some from a little further afield. The antiques that are scattered around make Tugu incredibly unique, adding real character to the rooms and public areas. When I visited, I was lucky enough to see the newly finished "China Town" wing, which gives an additional dimension to this already very interesting and special place.
I'll never forget when…
I've always had a real love for wildlife, and have been fascinated by great apes from a young age. When I visited Borneo I had the wonderful opportunity to spend some time with the orphaned orang-utans at the sanctuary located at Shangri La Rasa Ria. This is an experience that will stay with me forever.

Roger Federer puts the ball in slam's court over better deal for players
Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have hailed their discussions with the governing bodies of the four grand-slam championships over greater distribution of profits to the players as "a big achievement".
The pair, in the company of Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray, met representatives of the four "majors" in Indian Wells last week, a conversation that has been continued here during the Sony Ericsson Open. Never before has the ATP Tour been able to wheel out its big battalions in an effort to win more for all the playing ranks.

Helpful (4)
- Some very competent Engineers and generally a good bunch of people to work with.
- Good work / life balance.
- Decent benefits / compensation.
- Company has no respect for Engineers.
- Company is incapable of organic product development because they refuse to respect and retain talent. The only way they can innovate is to buy other companies.
- Too many layers of management who are more concerned with reorganizing to protect their own jobs than doing what is right for the success of the company.
- Management decisions are based upon politics and turf-wars between HQ in Naperville, IL and remote offices rather than what is best for the product or company as a whole.
- Some very bad hiring decisions were made just to get people in the door. Resulted in incompetent or very inexperienced people working on critical projects.
- Constant reorganizations and layoffs. More effort is put into reorganizing than how to produce a good product.
- Poor decisions have put the company years behind the competition.
- Sad story. Was a decent company until the current CEO took over. I was hoping they would continue to grow their Silicon Valley presence (like so many other companies) and become a growing force in the networking industry. Unfortunately they are reducing their presence in Silicon Valley, retreating to HQ, and making extremely poor decisions that will ultimately lead to their demise.
Advice to Management
Replace the CEO and anyone reporting to him. The only way this old mid-Western company is going to compete in the networking industry is to clear out the incompetent management and get people in charge (preferably from Silicon Valley) who are willing to do the right things.

Albion's season is up and running after a dominant 2-0 win at Leeds tonight.
New boy Joao Teixeira scored in the only the fifth minute after racing on to Bruno's precise pass.
And Kazenga LuaLua came off the bench to fire an 84th-minute free-kick won by Teixeira which killed off any hint of a late Leeds riposte.
Rohan Ince had hit the post minutes earlier at the end of a flowing counter-attack involving Bruno and Craig Mackail-Smith which summed up a classy Seagulls display.
Teixeira shone brightest – and Danny Holla combined silk and steel in midfield on his debut.
Inigo Calderon headed a great chance for the second goal off target in the first period.
But he later cleared from in front of his goal when it looked like Michael Tonge's drive might creep inside the post.
That would have brought Leeds level – but Albion always looked the better side as the secured their first points and goals of the Championship season.
Leeds (4-3-3): Silvestri; Byram, Cooper, Pearce, Warnock; Austin, Murphy (Cook 80), Bianchi; Tonge, Smith (Ajose 46), Sharp (Poleon 80). Subs not used: Taylor, Bellusci, Wootton, Norris. Yellow card: Austin (4) foul, Warnock (5) foul, Murphy (50) foul, Byram (67) foul, Pearce (84) foul.

Prominent Al-Qaeda Official Awlaki Dead… So What?
On Friday, September 30th, a missile fired by an American drone in Yemen hit an Al-Qaeda convoy killing Anwar Al-Awlaki. Awlaki was a leading Al-Qaeda propagandist, and an alleged "operational mastermind". Although the latter is debatable let's, for argument's sake, assume he was this brilliant operational leader. Is the world safer now than it was on Thursday, September 29th? Was Awlaki's genius so rare and special, that it will be impossible for Al-Qaeda to ever find a replacement? While Awlaki's death will surely weaken Al-Qaeda, is the effect of his death even slightly comparable to the effect of ten years of war in Afghanistan? In short, no, no and no, which leads to a less obvious question: Can Al-Qaeda even be defeated, and does it even matter if they can't?
Al-Qaeda is based on the Islamic concept of Jihad, or rather a radically misconstrued form of Jihad (roughly translated, means "the struggle"). Its main goals include expelling "the west", and it's influence, from the Middle East. On an operational level, the group functions as a horizontal network of semi-autonomous cells. As such it lacks any real hierarchy, save for the relatively few who are at the pinnacle. Not only do these cells work almost independently of one another, but also the attacks they orchestrate are relatively simple and cheap. Furthermore, members of these Al-Qaeda cells gauge success very differently than do most people, even other terrorists. The simple act of being in struggle against the west is seen as success, which is why martyrdom is held in such high esteem. So even when they're losing, they believe they're winning. How do you defeat people who think like that?
You don't. Now I know that definition of Al-Qaeda is pretty rough around the edges, but I think it incorporates several notable features. Features that make Al-Qaeda seemingly very hard to beat, if not impossible. I'm not saying you can't fight or hurt them, or make them irrelevant. In fact I think the United States been successful in doing just that, as Al-Qaeda in today's world is almost completely irrelevant. But I do think that's the best the US can do in regards to Al-Qaeda, but they don't seem to understand that. They're still fighting, hoping that at some point in the future Al-Qaeda (or better yet, Extremist Islamic Jihad as a whole), will simply disappear, which just won't happen.
Awlaki's killing is a strong example of both the US's mentality towards Al-Qaeda, and Al-Qaeda's diminishing relevance in the world. The government heavily publicized Awlaki's killing as a victory against Al-Qaeda. However in the words of Princeton Professor Gregory Johnson, a specialist on Yemen, Awlaki was "a dime a dozen cleric," proving that his infamy was in essence due solely to American hype. Awlaki, in a way, represents Al-Qaeda's growing irrelevance. They are less of a threat now than they ever were. So the fact that they can't really be defeated doesn't really matter, and it never did. What does matter however, is how the United States chooses deal with the smaller, but not insignificant, threat still posed by the terrorist group.
In my opinion, the threat posed by Al-Qaeda should be dealt with purely defensively. There are situations where the best defense is a good offense, but this isn't one of them, especially considering how costly "offense" is becoming. Even the best case offensive scenario isn't a guarantee of safety. Let's imagine that the United States kills all Al-Qaeda members in the Middle East and destroys the group's power base, however impossible that may be. Would it then be safe from Al-Qaeda? In a word: no. But prove to you exactly why not I'd like to remind you that the members directly responsible for the attacks on 9/11, were part of an Al-Qaeda cell in Hamburg, Germany. Germany is not Afghanistan, and it's definitely not Yemen.

Simple Skillet Green Beans are warm and crisp, mixed with slivered red onions and bacon. Fresh green beans are one of our favorite side dishes and nine times out of ten I simply toss them in the oven to roast them. They are absolutely, positively delicious that way, but last night I wanted something a little different.
I spied the bacon in the fridge and within a few minutes I had a couple strips of that bacon sizzling on the stove. (Although, I did consider adding a full pound of bacon and calling this an indulgence instead of a vegetable side dish. Of course, I might not have felt as justified downing a good size brownie for dessert after eating half a pound of bacon on my own.) These green beans are a delicious vegetable side dish with just enough smoky bacon flavor to add something special to any meal.
Most of my family gave these green beans two thumbs up. However, my youngest has recently decided that cooked green things are "not his favorite" at all. This absolutely cracks me up, because this is the child who begs for green smoothies every single day. I served the green beans with Oven Roasted Crispy Chicken and some amazing smoky bacon potatoes that I'll be sharing next week. (I'll be making those potatoes again this weekend because they were so tasty we ate all of them right off the pan!)
Yield: 4 servings
Warm a large skillet on the stove over medium high heat. Cook the bacon and then place the cooked bacon strips on a paper towel lined plate to drain. There should be about a tablespoon of oil remaining in the skillet. (If there is more than that, drain off the excess. If there isn't a tablespoon's worth of oil, add a pat of butter to the skillet.)
Adjust the heat to medium and add the green beans to the skillet. Toss with tongs or stir to coat them in the bacon grease. Sprinkle with salt (and pepper, if desired) and cover with a lid. Let the green beans cook for 2 minutes, stir and cover again. Cook 2 minutes more and stir again.
Add the onions to the skillet and toss to combine. Continue cooking and stirring occasionally for 2-3 minutes, just until the beans are a tender and still a bit crisp. Chop the bacon and toss it back into the green beans. Remove from the heat and serve. Enjoy!
Haricot vert are simply thin French green beans. If you are unable to find them, regular green beans will work just fine. You'll need to increase the cooking time by 1-2 minutes. The beans should be slightly tender and still have a bit of a bite to them when they are finished cooking.

Suitable client login e-commerce plugin?
Hi – have just installed Woo e-commerce plugin and want to have the shop pages hidden from main menu.
Intended purpose is for clients to create a login area ( that they can distribute to friends / family). This will be used as part of a wedding list of wedding day photography products.
Friends & family will buy, whilst I have clean record of who bought what products for specific couple.
have briefly looked at S2 member – but looks a bit over complicated to use along side Woo.
Any easy to use suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance – Linus

Mama of two.
Heya there, I've always sucked at these introduction thingies, but I'll try my best. Um, this is actually the forth pet forum I'm now a member of, if I'd count the amount of hours I spend in Yahoo Answers's Dog Section though, it'd be fifth. So I guess that pretty much explains I'm a dog Mama.
A little about me, (gosh I hate this part, can I just skip to my babies? Lol.) My name is Amy, but PLEASE call me Ames instead, or you can call me by my screen name if it's easier to remember...I just hate my name. I live in Australia, but US-born. However I moved here years ago and so yes, I do have the dreaded Aussie accent. I'm 26. Technically 25, but I don't think a few weeks off my birthday matters.
I'm a bit of an "old soul" so don't be surprised if most times I sound a lot older than I am, I've always been like that, as I was raised that way. I have the tendency to give my age a year older even months before my next birthday, it's a thing with me I guess...I wish to be more of the age I feel, rather than the one I am.
I also can be a bit flighty at times, so if I disappear and then suddenly come back, allow me to apologize in advance. I'm not anti-social or anything, but I tend to freeze up and get shy even behind a computer screen, so there might be times I'll lurk and just feel like I have nothing to contribute...or too intimidated to.
I like to see myself as a friendly peace-keeper, but I DO have times that if I'm passionate about something I'll happily voice my opinion but I'll always try to be as respectful as I can about it. I don't like getting into arguments, but I will always protect my beliefs if I believe it's right. But it's rare, and someone has to be incredibly grinding my nerves in order for me to get to that point.
Ahem, anyway...my dogs.
I have two Golden Retrievers, a girl and boy. My eldest is Ori, who is 3 years old, turning 4 in November. It's pronounced Or-ree as in Oreo. You wouldn't believe how many times I have to correct my vet when it's pronounced incorrectly! Usually "Or-I" or "Orry". It's a pet-peeve of mine I think. No pun intended. He's my sweet boy and I believe in some weird way, my furry soul-mate but that's hard to explain. He came into my life right when I needed him the most, and he's been my rock since.
Ori is a beautiful boy, and completely the opposite of his younger sister. He loves to laze around the house no matter the weather, unless of course there's someone other than mommy around to shower him with attention. Of course, he hasn't a clue how much this upsets mommy, because he still insists on jumping around on his back legs and doesn't seem to be at all concerned about the damage it does to his already dysplastic hips. He's terrified of the "oven monster" which he frequently bolts from whenever the door is opened, but his brains are as smart as the color of the fur mommy finds on and in almost everything. Which includes mommy's food, bed, towels, and anything else retaining static grip, excluding the flying strays amongst the air and the non-carpeted floorings, which mommy finds enough furballs to possibly build a whole new litter - maybe two.
My young girl is Jasmine, who is a 15-month-old English Cream. She was born exactly 7 days before Ori's 2nd birthday, and she too was a miracle. The day I placed a hold on her, I learned the horrors of puppy scams the HARD way. She comes from the same breeder as Ori did, only different lineage. Soon after Ori came home as a puppy, I ridiculously lost their contact information only to find it the morning said "puppy scam" puppy was supposed to be paid for and arrive...I didn't know this at the time however, and we realized JUST in time what I'd paid for and stopped transaction immediately. I was distraught, of course until I remembered I found Ori's breeders phone number that morning, and called them in tears. By some miracle, they told me that had a litter due in three weeks and they promptly put my name down for her. I have also not misplaced their contact details again! The day she came home, however sadly I was informed that some b-tard of a neighbor shot and killed Ori's mother only the day before.
It is those times I'm grateful my babies don't understand such cruelties in the world and cannot experience such grief.
But I digress.
Jasmine is a gorgeous "wild child". A living, breathing, barking tornado 23 hours a day, 7 days a week. She loves nothing more but running, jumping, chewing, running and jumping again, and thank goodness her hips are in pristine condition, because there is nothing she loves more than to scare the daylights out of mommy already with the things she chews on.
While most lovable "fur-kids" adore tearing stuffed toys, clothing, shoes, and the occasional stick and furniture, Jasmine prefers to take it to extreme bravery levels and somehow manages to find the danger-zones. Which usually include torn aluminum soda cans, plastic, (usually her water buckets) metal plates with still-attached (though loosely) nuts and bolts, and even managed to chew her "cone of shame" to pieces whilst recovering from her spaying operation. Whilst in doing that, she also managed to open the laundry cupboard and ingest around 250oz of washing powder. Certainly was not a fun weekend for mommy!
They have their quirks, but I love them dearly, and it's returned. Even if their antics do almost drive me to drink sometimes, I couldn't have asked for a better pair of friends to spend my sometimes very scary world with. They have saved me more times than I could ever thank them for.

RE: Mama of two.
Hello, Ames, or OriJas if you really hate your own name so much haha.
It is so nice to meet you!
Welcome to our forum!
You must have been there for quite a while to be able to pick up the accent.
How many years have you been in Australia.
Your dogs are beautiful. When you say Ori, and how people mispronounce it, you just hit the spot lol. I would have pronounced it as "alrigh"(no "t") or "or ry", because of Stargate SG-1, a popular TV series with this group of bad "guys" called themselves Ori.
Australia is quite big for so few people. You must have a lot of space to have fun with your dogs.
What have they saved you from? Saltwater crocodile ? Venom snakes? Care to share the stories?

RE: Mama of two.
Lol! Thank you very much, it really is good to be here. I should have also added that I should warn...I'm a hobby writer (hoping to be published one day) so I CAN tend to ramble on a bit. Just give me a swift kick in the pants if that happens and it gets irritating. I can't switch it off sometimes. Heh.
I moved here when I was 5, so almost 21 years now going by the time of year we arrived. My mother was born here in Australia, and my father migrated from Holland when he was 9, and I'm adopted...so we're sort of a family of globe trotters.
Oh, everyone pronounces it wrong when they first hear or see the spelling of his name! It's become habit now to just explain it before they make the mistake. I think I remember watching Stargate years ago when it first began, but I don't remember the SG-1 being in the title, I assume a reboot series? Ori's name was chosen from a list of Hebrew names I was looking for, and Ori definitely seemed to fit, it's meaning is "my light". I've always been the one to believe dogs' names can define their personalities, or vice versa.
Even better, the area I live in has 4 different beaches close by! I'm in the metro suburbs though rather than out in the more rural areas, but there's a lot of space still thankfully. Unfortunately not a large selection of off-leash dog parks though.
Oh, nothing Lassie-like, I wish! Lol. Mentally and emotionally my saviors though, definitely. I suffer from panic attacks and severe panic disorder, and in the last couple of years have been a bit hellish on the personal front that if it probably wasn't for them needing me so much, I would have crawled into a dark corner and given up. Just being here and having the need to take them for walks, or to the vet, food, playtime etc...it keeps my mind occupied and other things to focus on to get me through some of the toughest days. However, Jasmine did save me from a cockroach night before last while we were dozing! Creeper almost landed on my head and she practically nose-dived behind the bed to shoo it away. Does that count? Lol.

RE: Mama of two.
Hey, Orijas,
So you are a hobby writer? We are gladly to have you here!
As the matter of fact, we can use some writers here right now to write some articles on pets. This new forum and site in general require more content. Any informative, creative, interesting, articles related to the pets are appreciated! You can post them as new threads, and we will eventually create an article section on the site to add good articles from the forum to it.
What can you write us about? On the top of your mind at this very moment?
Oh yeah, Ori didn't come until season 9.
Stargate SG-1 went on for 10 seasons and 200 episodes in 10 years. It took them 8 seasons to finally get ride of the evil aliens who were the ancient Egyptian gods from the very first movie. Not by the hands of the good guys, but by another more powerful nemesis - Replicators. Just the way I liked it, because it is getting old how most stories are with bad guys always end in the hand of the "good guys". Ori came soon after in season 9, another group of powerful aliens pretend to be gods.
Oh yeah, it is proven that pets help to relief stress.

RE: Mama of two.
I would love to help out if it's needed. I'm a very comfortable homebody, so I have a lot of free time on my hands which keeps me at the computer a lot when I'm not sleeping or keeping the furballs in line. I'm not used to article writing so much, but I've recently gotten into a little bit of blogging music reviews. I'm mostly experienced in novel/fiction but I do tend to be able to contract points and essay-like scribbles on a daily basis. Lol. As for right now, I wouldn't a clue unless something strikes me. Though I was thinking earlier about the points to raise with the theory/philosophy of human empathy vs. animal instinct.
I certainly don't remember Stargate being that complicated, though. Lol. I wasn't a huge fan but it was a little something to watch now and then. I only remember what one of the characters looked like and the gate. That's it.
Thank you, bw! And thank you for inviting/referring me here, I'm beginning to love it already.

And I thought, "That's not actually anything to do with 'political correctness'. That's just treating other people with respect."Which made me oddly happy. I started imagining a world in which we replaced the phrase "politically correct" wherever we could with "treating other people with respect", and it made me smile. You should try it. It's peculiarly enlightening.I know what you're thinking now. You're thinking "Oh my god, that's treating other people with respect gone mad!"

Hammock popularity
Expand Messages
- I was a few miles South of the Trailfest location last week on a previously
arranged section hike. I wish I could have made it to your get-together.
Wanted to report that last year in the same area (Springer thru Low Gap), I
saw one hammock, this year I saw at least 8. Hammock popularity is growing.
None of the hammocks I saw were sporting additional insulation so I'm sure
they spent some chilly nights when the temps dropped.
I had slung a space bivy beneath my HH and it helped but was by no means
perfect. Will keep working at it.

I know there are 1001 ways to put potatoes, corn, beans, and tomatoes together. That is the great thing about some of these basic foods, none of the flavors are to overpowering and they can be interchanged in different ways. The more knowledge we have about how to prepare food, is like the more tools in our kitchen. It will give us confidence on how to bring a delicious meal together. My husband had taught me about throwing things together from his Australian upbringing and their tradition of "Bubble and Squeak." This recipe is our own creation of how to put these basic foods together in a delicious way. First, make the "Caramelized Potatoes" recipe and then follow the directions in the "Potato Bean Salad" which is simply mixing all the ingredients together. Enjoy!
Caramelized Potatoes
2 lbs. small new potatoes, quartered2 T. olive oil
¼ cup sugar
½ tsp. salt
Cook potatoes in boiling salt water until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Drain. In large frying pan, heat olive oil. Add sugar and cook until melted, stirring constantly.
Add potatoes and salt. Stir while cooking until potatoes are browned and caramelized. Serve immediately.
Potato Bean Salad
1 15 oz. can corn1 15 oz. can black beans
1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained
1 cup ham or sausage

Apple Bets on Intel
Cooler-Running Notebooks
So why did Apple choose to embrace Intel? There's more than one answer to that question. "Apple just didn't know how to build the amazing computers we want to deliver in the future with the PowerPC," said Jobs, referring to the performance benefits that will come from using Intel chips. The better power efficiency of Intel chips was a big draw for Apple. Jobs said that Apple engineers foresee future Intel chips for notebooks being not only faster than future comparable PowerPC chips, but also requiring far fewer watts to achieve the same amount of performance. As a result, the Intel chips will run cooler, which will be a boon for portable systems.
Dual-core chips, specialized chipsets, and other Intel technologies will surely make their way into new Macs. Intel president and CEO Paul Otellini said Intel will be "providing advanced chip technologies, and collaborating on new initiatives" with Apple. IBM's inability to deliver a G5 processor for notebook computers weighed heavily on Mac users and on Apple.
"This is primarily about notebooks," says Steve Baker, an analyst at the NPD Group. "Apple is one of the most notebook-centric PC companies, and notebooks continue to gain market share. When Apple looked out over the next couple of yearswithout a G5, without a real low-power, low-heat productthey had to feel like they were going to be at a serious disadvantage."
Also, big tech turf skirmishes are under way in consumer electronics and mobile devices, and Apple could see benefits from Intel's large portfolio of chips for such products. Home entertainment systems and small computers like the Mac mini, for example, call for processors that efficiently address heat and power issues.
For IBM, the PowerPC is just a tiny sliver of its chip business. When the company started producing PowerPC chips in the early 1990s, the plan was to wrest away some of the control Intel and Microsoft had over the industry. But the processors never had a seismic effect.
Without Apple, IBM chips still have promising opportunities. The company is poised to gain from the momentum in consumer electronics, especially game consoles. Both the upcoming Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation 3 will use variations of IBM's Power architecture.
