Last night, my hubby ran out of hot water during his shower. This was odd since he knows where everything is at this point in his life and doesn't have a lot of hair left to wash. He just doesn't take long showers. So, that gave us two options. Either the circuit breaker to the hot water heater had tripped or the water heater itself was full of sand. That had happened once before; hot water heater full of sand. Not fun. It's extremely heavy and difficult to get out of the closet it's in when that happens. I could just see the plumbing bill and the money headed down the proverbial drain. Needless to say, I had my fingers crossed for that tripped circuit breaker! Should have been very easy to find out and just flip that thing back into place if that was the problem. Well......
I don't know if you've ever been truly depressed. Clinical, needing medication, depressed. I was shortly after my father died, many years ago. It was something I hope to never sink that far into again. I didn't care about anything. I just wanted to rest. So much so that I thought of driving into a bridge embankment in order to get some. The problem with that idea was that it could very well kill me too. I didn't want that. I had a son to raise. I got help before then. Anyway, I was never that fond of house cleaning to begin with and our house is in the country with lots of dirt and dust and stuff. So, when the depression hit, I did even less than I had been doing. For a very long time, I just did what I needed to do to live here and take care of the basic needs of my family. I'd wash the dishes (no dish washer) and wash the clothes and occasionally clean the bathroom. Who cares about a little dust, right?
I was also a collector back then. I had all kinds of collections. I loved every one of them. Right up until I needed to dust them. I slowly started to sell or give away my collections. I was sick of the dust and I had discovered my allergies by then. I had started to recycle my magazines, mail and aluminum cans. I was getting stuff out of the house that I didn't need or use, to some degree. The problem was that my hubby was as bad, if not worse, than I was. Every time a package came in the mail, he saved the box. Why? I don't know. We seldom reused them. And for some reason, he never looked through his mail. Grrrr! So, there were piles of it. I could go on, but I won't. He's a good man and I love him, but he is a man and has his faults like all men and all women for that matter.
Every once in a while, I'd want to spring clean or autumn clean and I'd take a look around and realize that I hadn't gotten rid of nearly as much as I had thought I had. The thought of tackling the whole place, after so many years of not caring, has been overwhelming. We live in a very small house and we have STUFF everywhere. It's horrible. I keep expecting the board of health or Oprah and a camera crew to show up at any minute. I live in fear that someone will just drop by for a visit. So, I decided to take it pretty much one room at a time and not think about the others until that one was finished. Of course just starting that one room is sometimes a big step.
So, last night when my hubby ran out of hot water, I knew I'd have to work on the office today. You see, there were so many empty boxes stacked up in front of the closet, that we couldn't get to the circuit box! So, I put on my happy music and got to work. It took a couple of hours of emptying and breaking down boxes before I finally got in there. The circuit breaker had indeed tripped. I have no idea why, but I do know that I will always be able to get to it in the future. Things are changing around here and they will stay changed. It's going to take a while, but this place will eventually shine like a copper penny and when it does, I'm having a big party!
I had to stop the cleaning for today until I can go donate, recycle and take things to the dump. I did take a "before" picture and when it's all finished, I'll post it with the "after" picture. It will be very embarrassing for me, but I'm hoping it will also be incentive not to ever let it happen again. Oh, by the way, I'm still on medication for depression, but I'm hopeful that one day, I'll be able to stop taking it. Positive change!

(The founding continent and the founder effect)
Basil Davidson calls it the Blackman's burden— a savage and ironic jibe at the Whiteman's burden, the self-imposed historical duty of stamping rational order and humane civilization on the rest of the human race. Yet two hundred and fifty one years after the infamous Berlin Conference which partitioned Africa among the colonial powers(1814-1815), It is now obvious at least in Nigeria and many African countries that the messianic burden the imperialist masters imposed on themselves is facing its toughest challenge.
Based on their current circumstances, these colonial chimeras pose a grave security risk to western modernization and its expansive notion of accelerated and unimpeded progress, particularly after the triumph of liberal democracy over the Soviet Communist model. With wars raging in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa and with famine, poverty and epidemics of dereliction the lot of the populace, it is just a question of time before the Dark Age is re-enacted.
When you now factor into this the virtual implosion of a vast swathe of the Middle East and the biblical outpouring of refuge attendant upon this, you get a feel of human suffering and misery on a scale unprecedented in history. The wanton brutality, the Stone Age cruelty and callous disregard for the sanctity of human life displayed by sectarian militias from Boko Haram in Nigeria, through ISIS in the Levant and the Taliban in Afghanistan suggest a new low that has not been seen since the Jewish pogrom of the Second World War.
If one theme is common to all these multi-dimensional conflicts, if there is one single and solid cause that unites the disparate combatants, it is the written and unwritten disavowal of the nation-state paradigm which has been imposed on their people by triumphant western modernity.
With the Islamic sects, from Boko Haram in Nigeria to the militantly state-evaporating al-Qaeda and ISIS, it is a violent and conscious rebuff of the nation-state arrangement and the colonial cartography which radically redrew the old map of Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
The Islamists are stuck with the old notions of a theocratic world in which religiously homogenous communities could not be abridged or disrupted by the political distraction of nation-states. The Islamic empire-state cannot be curtailed and carved up like that except on the field of battle.
It has not occurred to the sectarian ideologues that it was the defeat of the Ottoman Turks in battle in old Serbia which made this possible and inevitable, just as the introduction of French artillery to modern warfare made nonsense of the weak Italian city-states and their pretensions to both nation-hood and state-hood. Machiavelli had been proved right in his strident call for a powerful new state which would put an end to the political caprices of the Italian mini-royalties.
In contemporary Africa, although the rebellion against the nation-state is neither conscious nor stringently articulated as you find in Islamic disavowals, it is obvious that some of the largest colonial contraptions on the continent have been chafing under the colonial yoke that boxed together people of diverse and mutually contradictory cultures and political orientation.
This is the basis of the endemic instability and perpetual conflicts on the continent, particularly in four of the largest countries, namely Nigeria, Sudan, CAR and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In Nigeria, a thieving ruling cartel until recently presided over the systematic brutalization and decimation of the populace occasioning casual bloodletting of which the Boko Haram insurgency and bloody clashes between pastoral herdsmen and local farming populations are recent manifestations.
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo where the Mobutu-Kabila kleptocracy has been continuously in power for fifty one years, the country has technically evaporated in a series of civil wars occasioning much human suffering and misery. In Sudan, Omar Bashir who has been in power since 1989, has presided over the dismemberment of the country. In CAR, the state has collapsed in chaos and mayhem as bitter ethnic feuding with a religious coloration has led to an effective partitioning of both capital and country.
In many African countries where the nation-state paradigm limps on — Angola, Mozambique, Egypt, Liberia, Sierra-Leone, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Ethiopia, Congo Brazzaville, Algeria, Cote D'Ivoire, Mali and Kenya—it has been after bloody civil wars fought among enemy nationalities which have sown deep seeds of discord and rancour in the body politic.
Others such as Togo, Cameroons, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Egypt, Gambia, Guinea Bissau and Zimbabwe stumble on by becoming an expensive charade of liberal democracy which is the political and historical deity of the modern nation-state or by transmuting into the worst examples of one-man despotism.
It should be obvious from the foregoing analysis that except for a few shining exemplars such as Botswana, Namibia, Senegal, Tanzania, Benin and Ghana, the nation-state paradigm has fared very badly in Africa. These nations in terms of political mass and economic pull are not enough to form the critical mass that will rescue Africa.
It is a profound irony that it is in Africa, the very cradle of civilization and from where our human ancestors first began their epic slouch towards Asia, Europe and the rest of the world that colonial hubris and narcissism has met its Waterloo. Even in captivity,It is not easy to force one's political deity on others.
But the objective cost of the structural and spiritual resistance to the nation-state paradigm in Africa is the continuous regression of the continent in all parameters of inclusive governance and developmental indices.In all available data of human progress, African nations comfortably pick the rear. The nation-state may not be perfect, but it is an obvious historical improvement on fiefdoms and kingdoms.
The fact remains that history, in all its all brutal and alienating necessities, waits for no laggard society. While we are still sulking about the nation-state, African countries are being frog-marched to the post-nation frontiers in the age of relentless globalization. We can no longer have the Berlin Conference all over again. That epoch is gone forever even where there are residues of the old empire system everywhere.
Since we cannot unscramble egg that is already scrambled, a lot would depend on African nations and nationalists to find within themselves the strength, energy and vision to reform the colonial incubus that they have been saddled with by the imperialists before they can join the mainstream of humanity. As Marx famously puts it, verily one day Germany would find itself on the road to ruins with Britain and France without having achieved their economic prosperity.
Just as it happened with the internationalization of the slave trade which caught the people of Africa napping because of their lack of maritime and military innovations, the absence of viable nation-states on the continent may prove perilous to the people in the global sweepstakes that will follow the "opening" up of hitherto remote possibilities by the relentless onslaught of globalization.
No one is sure of what the new frontiers of human evolution will look like, whether it will lead to a modification of the existing nation-state paradigm, its transformation to something more refined or its superannuation by something totally novel.
But we can glimpse the emerging world order in the rise of new economic superpowers, the deepening poverty in sub-Saharan Africa, the accelerating gap between the rich nations and the poverty-wracked hell-holes on earth , the rise of the new right both as a political as well as a spiritual category and the advent of a new class of international mega-citizens who play and operate beyond the nation-states.
All these developments will no doubt rebound on Africa as a passive object of history and a mere pawn in a play of giants. But there is a sense in which Africa will play a leading role in the emerging global configuration that is if the founder effect as propounded in the field known as population genetics is applied to global population and the phenomenon of the nation-state.
But what is the founder effect? Put simply and with bald brevity, founder effect is the thinning and shrinking of genetic pool when people set out from their original homestead to find new colonies and new countries as the case may be. Consequently, the genetic variation available is increasingly limited and with that the possibilities of human expansiveness and talent formation.
As the original homestead of the human race, Africa retains its largest genetic pool and possibilities of genetic recombination in infinite permutations. What this means—and as we are beginning to find out— is that as time goes on the most physically, intellectually and artistically gifted people among the human race will come from Africa: the best athletes,singers, footballers, philosophers, writers, actors, scientific geniuses and intellectual avatars.
What impact will this rare species of humanity, this special breed at the summit of human evolution, have on Africa, the founding and fathering continent? Practically nil, unfortunately as long as the nation-state does not come to scratch in Africa.
As it is already happening, this new breed of super-people will shun the chaos and disorder of Africa for the safe and liberating confines of the civilized world where they will gladly and joyously pay Value Added Tax for the value that the refined world has added to their life away from a dark and savage continent.
If care is not taken by visionary African nationalists, it is possible that by the time the third wave of globalizationis fully with us, the fate of the continent as a perpetual human plantation for growing exceptionally endowed export to the west and a nursery for the transplantation of talents to advanced countries would have been sealed.
By then, it will not matter to the rest of the world, whether Africa has viable or functioning nation-states. As it was the case with oil until most recently and earlier with the procurement of slaves what will be important is the uninterrupted flow of human talent from Africa to the west. The Portuguese, the first bearers of western modernity to Africa, have taught us in Guinea Bissau and to a lesser extent in Angola and Mozambique that you don't need a nation to have a plantation or slave depot.
WhenPliny the Second famously observed that something new always comes out of Africa, he was not only referring to the endless assortment of African oddities, oddballs and crackpots that entertained the Roman imperial court. He was also referring to the illustrious retinue of great African generals, writers, philosophers, actorsetc who graced the Roman imperium. Several thousand years later, something new is still coming out of Africa, just as it was in the beginning.

Thru The Fire - Poem by Lillian Jamison
To be loved by you
Of softness and so sweet
Only your touch
Brings me to complete
To be loved by you
Of love and devotion
A feeling contentment
Deep as the ocean
To be loved by you
With honor and respect
Of a heart so true
What else could I expect
To be loved by you
The object of affection
In my eyes
You shall always be perfection
To be loved by you
And such love I shall tender
All longings, desires
To you, I surrender
To be loved by you
Any mountain I'd climb
To steal every moment
Each small speck of time
To be loved by you
Is all that I require
For you, I would
Truly walk thru the fire

[Video] Big Ups - National Parks
Big Ups released share their video to 'National Parks', a song written by vocalist Joe Galarraga about his mother, but also serves as a reference to what we have to give up to live a comfortable life.
In the film, directed and filmed by brothers Robert and Adam Kolodny respectively of House Of Nod, we see a young woman navigating the chaos of her daily life through choreographed dance.
'National Parks' is taken from the full-length record 'Before A Million Universes', out on March 4 via Tough Love (UK)/ Exploding In Sound (US).

I did it again in my midterm this evening, I thought an Alsatian Riesling was a Sancerre. That's worse than last time, as I'm supposed to get the aromatic varieties pretty well. I just didn't appreciate the acid enough to call it a Riesling, and I didn't get any petrol at all. My teacher says it is helpful to swish a little wine around before the test starts. Prime the pump, so to speak.
New plan. The MW exam has the tasting in the morning, so I should get used to priming that pump. Three times per week, I'm going to taste in the morning, then recork the wines to enjoy with my wife Wendy later. That way, she doesn't have to deal with my geekish ways and we can have time together. Plan.

in a rheumy-fulfiling prophecy in which i am in a clinical remission, i have refused to acknowledge openly that i've been having more good days now than ever since my RA worsened severely in 2005. i don't know why i haven't spoken about it as openly as i usually do. maybe i'm afraid i'll jinx it and lose it, and losing it is very real for me. many times when i am near remission, it gets ruined by something- medication side effects, falling 'sick', and my body just failing on me.
so yes, i have been in a remission-like state for several months, and although it is a relief, it feels odd without the pain my inflamed joints give. i have now officially jinxed myself.
but anyway, i've been feeling small flares here and there in the last 1-2 weeks. the fear of the remission going up in smokes is very real. and it's terrifying. i can't tell you how much i am scared of it. and the thing is, i still feel the RA flares despite oxycodone. sigh. it is that bad.
waking up everyday not knowing how much pain will come knocking on my door makes me… sad.

I'm trying to get the Vienna Symphonic Library Performance Tool wired to work in Windows 7. The Performance Tool and VSL MIDI Router both work fine, but some of the virtual MIDI cables I have used on Windows XP don't work on Windows 7 (MIDI Yoke & Marble MIDI Tools).
I need two set of virtual MIDI cables installed so I can route as follows:
Hardware MIDI Input > Sequencer MIDI Track Input > Perf Tool-In > Perf Tool-Out > Sequencer VSTi (Giga Virtual Instrument) Input
I'm running Reaper as my sequencer/VST host. The only MIDI input showing up is my soundcard's hardware input. The VSL MIDI outputs show up in Reaper's MIDI output list.
In the Performance Tool, both the VSL MIDI Inputs and Outputs show up correctly, but I need another virtual MIDI cable to route everything. Is there a Windows 7-friendly virtual MIDI cable?
Thanks ,

The CDC's Division of Injury Response has released a new course available on the Web. Designed to provide the latest clinical information regarding blast-related injuries from terrorism, the course--"Bombings: Injury Patterns and Care"-- is available in multiple formats. A CD-ROM/Web-based interactive version is planned for release later this month and will be distributed free of charge to first responders. The program is supported by CDC's Terrorism Injuries Information, Dissemination and Exchange (TIIDE) Project. TIIDE was established through a cooperative agreement to link acute care and emergency medical services to state and local injury prevention programs for terrorism preparedness and response. For more information about the course and TIIDE, visit http://www.bt.cdc.gov/masscasualties/bombings_injurycare.asp.
In a related category, the CDC has also released a free report entitled "In a Moment's Notice: Surge Capacity for Terrorist Bombings," which describes system-wide, discipline-specific challenges in a mass casualty event and provides recommendations to address those challenges.
In October 2005 and January 2006, CDC's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control convened an expert panel that included professionals in the areas of emergency medical services, emergency medicine, trauma surgery, burn surgery, pediatrics, otolaryngology, intensive care medicine, hospital medicine, radiology, pharmacology, nursing, hospital administration, laboratory medicine (blood bank), and public health.
The panel was charged with identifying creative strategies that could be adopted in a timely manner to address surge issues from terrorism. "In a Moment's Notice" is the result of those expert panel meetings, reflecting the opinions and recommendations of the experts. The proposed solutions for the discipline-specific challenges have been incorporated into easy to use templates that can assist various disciplines in managing surge needs for injuries. To obtain the free report, visit http://www.bt.cdc.gov/masscasualties/surgecapacity.asp.

Everyday, you satisfy someone new, which later on on might be your new boss or maybe your new client.

Keep it brief. A blog isn't a location to post a three-web page post.

When you're out to supper and they bring about the dessert menu (or worse yet, the dessert tray), it's hard to say no. So don't! Instead, order 1 dessert for the tent cards and share. Divvying up the energy lets everyone satisfy their cravings for the sweet without doing too much harm to the waistline line.
Avoid silly playing cards. You might believe a humorous joke or a naked Santa stuck in a chimney is entertaining, but not everybody will share your humor. Make your very best impression with out comedy.
Photo Taking: Sometimes, it takes someone at the desk to take the initial shot to "get the ball rolling".

If you instead not assign this job to somebody, you can suggest the DJ to make an announcement to the tables to take the pictures.

PHOTOSHOP!!!! First time EVER!
What a hectic day! I'm in charge of poster design for the BBQ event for Chopsticks Society.
ME! Of ALL ppl!!! I'm probably one of the last few ppl left on earth who know nothing about designing using a comp! So I got Jon to help me. He did a fantastic job using Illustrator. Simple and nice.
However, after the general meeting, there were quite a few changes to be made to the poster. Many things happened since, and I found myself stuck with no idea how to make the necessary alterations.
I have no design software on my comp. No Adobe, no anything.
Just Paint.
Tell me, how does one make a good poster out of Paint?
Luckily, John was there to give me his Photoshop software. Even then, I was STILL stressed, coz I didnt know how to use Photoshop at all!
Its like handing a baby a spoon for the first time and expecting him not to spill anything!
How like that?
I took baby steps, dabbled with it a little, and 4 hours later, made all the necessary changes to the poster by alternating between Photoshop and Paint!
From this
To this!! Using Paint and Photoshop!!! Trust me, its really difficult to make amendments WITHOUT the right softwares and knowledge of computer design!!!
Tedious work, I tell you!!!
Neck pain-ing now!! OUCH!!! .. but that's also partly coz I spent another 4 hours after that fiddling with my photos using Photoshop!! hehehe..
Its so fun to play with!!! :D.. Its like getting a NEW TOY!! I suddenly feel so jakun! Everyone else has advanced to design using technology, while I STILL feel so proud of myself when I design cards etc. using colour pencils and markers.
I was so fascinated with all the different effects! I was tweaking things this way and that. Obviously, with just 4 hours, I have not mastered anything at all!
I'm still in the getting-to-know-photoshop stage!! You know, the stage where you randomly click on different things and be amazed at how everything magically transforms, leaving your jaw hanging wide open, mentally exclaiming 'WOW!!!' ?
OH, and if there's anything I've learnt, its that photoshop can make you look GOOD!!! I mean, of COURSE I knew that!! but nothing like playing with it yourself to know what a useful tool it really is!!!!
*rubs hands with glee*
If there's one thing you shouldn't do, its never to introduce photoshop to a vain bimbo-tic human with two X-chromosomes!!!
Here are some photos I played around with..
Before and after photos!! Mainly pix I took during my Melbourne trip!!!
Before!!! So dark, can't see anything!
After!!!! Brighter, and also with that 'old' effect thingie!
Before!! Gangsta style!!
After! Sin City style!
Before! Wet and shiny!
After! Dry and Matte!
Before!! Drunk!!
After!! See, you can't even tell!! Coz its all black!!! hehehhehe
Before!! ES, ME and TINA!!
After!! A fat ES ; slim, flexible ME ; super thin TINA!!! kekkekke
Before! Bad lighting resulting in unflattering complexion!
After! Dark, mysterious stranger!
Before!! 2 crazy guys!!
After!! 2 crazy guys surrounded by messy crazy fonts everywhere!
Hope you enjoy my pix!! Feel free to give any comments!! As well as Photoshop tips!!!

Shaffer, Doreen – "Adorable" – [Grover Records]
1997 album from one of the original queens of ska and reggae. Recording solo albums since 1970, she often collaborated with the Skatellites starting in the mid-1960s before becoming their lead singer in 1994. This album is like a sweet breath of fresh air. Her vocals are warm and soothing, and the subject matter is pretty lovey dovey. There are elements of ska, straight reggae, and even soul. A nice cover of "Groovy Kind of Love" is just one of many sweet love tunes. This simply put me in the best mood while doing things around the house.

text: Great read by Lauren Royal. I enjoyed Rose and look forward to reading more books from Lauren Royal. Rose is a well written book. The characters are fantastic, the story is awesome with a little humor, a bit of drama and of course a few steamy bits. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

I took a baby step today. Ultimately I want to be able to take a photo of someone else on a bike, a profile shot, the person will be in focus, the background will be blurred. I think for this mythical shot the subject will pass by me, I don't think I need to be moving with them.
After some guessing and checking I ended up with a 1/50th of a second on the shutter, that and the focus are the only aspects of this frame I controlled. I may have been able to slow the shutter down to 1/40th, or 1/30th while still going handheld. The aperture came in at f13 and the ISO was at 125. I used my 35mm lens, I think next time I will try to go a little wider.
I'm completely open to suggestions. How would your execute the shot I described?

Working at letting go
My god its tough...your with someone 21 years, you know things weren't perfect for the whole time but there were a lot of good times, more good than bad. It's just hard knowing that you just don't matter to that person anymore. Yep I know its over - a part of him will always be in my heart. We have been civil - because no matter what happens - he is the father of my kids - two great kids - who have the best and worse of both of us - we'll always be a part of each others life no matter what. Its hard to say good bye to your friend - a real friend - not the person who tells you he wants to be a friend now. What is that anyway - how can you be indifferent to someone who you love...Not sure...our marriage didn't work - but I don't see myself as a failure because of it - why I've got two great kids, their not perfect but they're good and I am proud of them, I am a good worker, I work hard and good at what I do, I am a good friend, good daughter - good mom -just wasn't a good wife to him - wow - life throws one a lot of curves - you grow with them and you make choices and decisions to get thru it - some good some bad - somehow you just make it thru.
thank you, having a rough couple of days, doing a lot of reading posts and reading other peoples replys to posts. it helps a lot. thanks for reminding me i have a lot of very good qualities. and one of them is not being in an unhealthy relationship anymore.
Wow,, you made some pretty powerful statements in this post,, some of them were also pretty painful I bet!
Bless you and I am keeping you in my thoughts!
Bless you and I am keeping you in my thoughts!
Wow... you hit home on that one. I only hope and pray that I will someday be as strong as you! Thanks
i'm not there yet, but thanks for posting. i'll think about separating the failure of my marriage from my being a failure. thank you.
thank you for your kind responses - giddy - you have no idea how painful it was for me - I just needed to vent this today - you see I had contact with him today - and as usual -it sets me back, I have to stop and realize how far I've come - there is no doubt that the whole process is painful probably the most painful thing I've been thru - I am glad to see that it helps others in some way - we are stronger than we think and things and emotions do get better with time
Your perceptions of how you value yourself like you do, is what will help you move on. You already seem to have the right tools.
I wish I did!
I wish I did!
Wow did this thread hit home. Awesome way to look at it all. Let's keep growing and keep improving ourselves.
Working at it, but having such a hard time with the final part of letting go. I know I have to or I'll make myself sick. But I am so tired of bouncing up and down. So tired. But still working at it....

Question about 1998 Ford Escort
Posted by brianhutton3 on
This is a common issue in ford escorts, and I hate to say it but your cylinder head is bad.
I've personally seen this issue on over 20 ford escorts ranging from 1991 to the present.
The cylinder heads are made of cast-aluminum and are only so durable. If you like to drive your car hard, or race it around, your cylinder head will eventually break apart at the valve seats, you will lose compression, and drop metal shavings on to your pistons.
The easiest way to determine if this has happened, is to do a compression test on the cylinders. On the 2.0L SPI engines, your compression should not be below 100psi (and 100psi being absolute minimum) on any cylinder.
In most cases you will not be able to rebuild your cylinder head. I do recommend replacing any piston that has had metal shavings drop on it, although I have seen (what I consider idiots) people grind the metal shavings off the pistons and reinstall them. The more you drive the vehicle with this issue, the worse your problem will be in the end.
I hope this answers your questions, and I wish you good luck on the repairs.

From its floating marketplaces to its unique spa to Ayurveda to its Buddhist temples, this metropolis is joie de vivre. Best attractions integrated beneath Bangkok offers are Wat Pho, Temple of Reclining Buddha, Forensic Museum, Chinatown, and so forth.
three. Pattaya: An additional Thai town finds a mention in this particular list! Pattaya, identified for its hot beaches as well as hotter girls, could be the put to visit, in the event you can be a bachelor. Gangs of friends enjoy to dig into its exuberant nightlife and sassy society! Even honeymooners are drawn to its passionate seashores and seductive resorts. With a few good stores and markets to include to its resume, Pattaya definitely will not be to get missed.
4. Switzerland: Switzerland is still the most beneficial European desired destination for an informal Indian. We have not rather neglected those people Yash Chopra films through which the Khans and Kumars would serenade on the snowy mountains with the Alps. For any warm and fun-filled honeymoon, where by else is it possible to find a far better passionate corner? You can find some terrific landmarks, church buildings and castles in this state. The Glacial Categorical railway trip is just blissful! And it is amongst the best thoughts to sink into individuals Swiss sweets that are brewed in area factories. Towns like Zurich and Interlaken must not be skipped at any charge.
five. Egypt: Egypt has usually been a powerful lure for its enigmatic pyramids and sphinx. But an Egypt tour package used to be pretty pricey which would be the key dampener. However, now following some civil unrests and tragic mishaps, the tourism has taken a slump. So, this can be the excellent time to grab all those cheaply out there getaway packages and fly into this nation of heritage, culture, desert, shorelines, Nile, museum and pyramids.

In the summer when it's hot out I love to swim, and here in Western Washington we have no shortage of lakes. There are several free swimming areas but those are usually overrun with children or covered in goose poop, or worse, both. The best swimming areas, including some of my favorites all cost to get in. The one closest to my house is $7 for a carload (it's a city park) and my other favorite, Deep Lake is $5 (A King County park), so pretty steep if you just want to spend the afternoon at the lake by yourself.
As much as I love swimming, this poor/frugal girl just can't afford that!
Yesterday as the temperature climbed up into the 80's I felt that familiar desire to cool of in a big icy lake. When my parents told me they were going to go out to Deep Lake but leave for it before I got home from church I actually cried. No fair, and poor me thoughts were running through my mind.
But alas there was still hope. My mom called me a hour later to tell me there was a sign at the guard post that said "Free Day." No way! I thought. So I threw my towel, a sandwich and some magazines into a backpack, jumped into my card and headed out.
I was indeed a free day. The only reason I could come up with to why there would be a free day was maybe because it's Seafair (which is a big deal in Seattle if you're not from around here)? No idea. I actually checked the website when I got home but there was no mention of a free day. Just a lucky break.
So I enjoyed it. I got to cool off in the lake then relax and read some free magazines. It doesn't get much better than that. And the only thing I had to pay for is gas! Woot! Woot!
Speaking of free entrance into parks, August 25 is the National Park Services Birthday, which means entrance fees will be waived at National Parks across the country. Definitely take advantage of this. These free days only come a couple times during the year, and this is also the only one that occurs during the summer months. It falls on a weekend (Sunday I believe) so no excuses!

For our southern counties near bwg a heavy thunderstorms have kept rainfall close to normal, however it looks very likely Lexington will only see a total of .58 inches of rain for the month. The Louisville area has a deficit for the month but not anywhere close to the extent of Lexington. However you folks in the Jackson are think is nonsense as you have a surplus for the month. We will all dry out this week as a very strong ridge builds over the great lakes region positioning itself just to our northeast.
A: This means southerly flow will be the rule by the weekend but with the strong high pressure leading to sinking air not favorable for afternoon cloud and convection formation just a slight increase in humidity.
B: This chilly shot of air will feel good tonight (Thu) I don't see any reason we don't get into the 50's regionwide tonight as dewpoints are already that low and 850 temps aren't indicating lows over 60. Friday should be another sunny day with highs from 79-85.
C: For Saturday and Sunday highs will range from 83-89 across the state with more sun and very few clouds. No fronts which could bring chances of rain are in sight on any of the modeling through early next week. Highs Monday and Tuesday should top 90 again regionwide.
D: I'll update this weekend on the tropics and some long-range thoughts. Right now Danielle is turning out to sea and Earl is a little more concern to the east coast.
E: Hopefully the weather here will get active soon or else it may turn out like this movie airplane.

Charles Spurgeon
"And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region."—Acts 13:49.
Our doctrines, although they are supposed to lead to apathy and sloth, have always proved themselves to be eminently practical; the fathers of the mission were all zealous lovers of the doctrines of the grace of God; and we believe, the great supporters of missionary enterprise, if it is to be successful, must always come from those who hold God's truth firmly and boldly, and yet have fire and zeal with it, and desire to spread it everywhere.
Oh! if you could have seen Paul preach, you would not have gone away as you do from some of us, with half a conviction, that we do not mean what we say. His eyes preached a sermon without his lips, and his lips preached it, not in a cold and frigid manner, but every word fell with an overwhelming power upon the hearts of his hearers. He preached with power, because he was in downright earnest. You had a conviction, when you saw him, that he was a man who felt he had a work to do and must do it, and could not contain himself unless he did do it. He was the kind of preacher whom you would expect to see walk down the pulpit stairs straight into his coffin, and then stand before his God, ready for his last account.
We have no eyes now like the eyes of the Saviour, which could weep over Jerusalem; we have few voices like that earnest impassioned voice which seemed perpetually to cry, "Come unto me, and I will give you rest." "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how often would I have gathered thee as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, but ye would not." If ministers of the gospel were more hearty in their work of preaching; if, instead of giving lectures and devoting a large part of their time to literary and political pursuits, they would preach the Word of God, and preach it as if they were pleading for their own lives, ah! then, my brethren, we might expect great success; but we cannot expect it while we go about our work in a half-hearted way, and have not that zeal, that earnestness, that deep purpose which characterized those men of old.
How many there are who preach gospel, which they are afraid will not save souls; and, therefore, they add little bits of their own to it in order, as they think, to win men to Christ! We have known men who believed Calvinistic doctrines, but who preached Calvinism in the morning and Arminianism in the evening, because they were afraid God's gospel would not convert sinners, so they would manufacture one of their own. I hold that a man who does not believe his gospel to be able to save men's souls, does not believe it all.
We want a deeper faith in our gospel; we want to be quite sure of what we preach.
Now, my brethren, we have power; we are God's ministers; we preach God's truth; the great Judge of heaven and earth has told us the truth, and what have we to do to dispute with worms of the dust? Why should we tremble and fear them? Let us stand out and say, "We are the servants of the living God; we tell unto you what God has told us, and we warn you, if you reject our testimony, it shall be better for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you." If the people cast that away we have done our work. We have nothing to do with making men believe; ours is to testify of Christ everywhere, to preach and to proclaim the gospel to all men.
I believe there is a great reason for some of us to suspect whether we believe our religion at all. An infidel once met a Christian. "Because," said the other, "for years you have passed me on my way to my house of business. You believe, do you not, there is a hell, into which men's spirit are cast?" "Yes, I do," said the Christian. "And you believe that unless I believe in Christ I must be sent there?" "Yes." "You do not, I am sure, because if you did you must be a most inhuman wretch to pass me, day by day, and never tell me about it or warn me of it." I do hold that there are some Christians who are verily guilty in this matter; God will forgive them, the blood of Christ can even wash that out, but they are guilty. Did you ever think of the tremendous value of a single soul.
Could we preach carelessly, could we pray coldly, if we knew what a precious thing it is about which we are concerned? No, surely we should be doubly in earnest that God will please to save sinners.© Becky Laney of Operation Actually Read Bible

Howdy Amigo!
Open carry of a loaded handgun is certainly legal in Colorado, including one in the tube! It doesn't matter whether your friend has a permit or not, or that he's out of state or not. Colorado is an open carry state, regardless. The sole exceptions being those you likely know about: schools, Denver city and county, and where posted, with permanent metal detectors and security types to wand you down.
As for state parks, I don't believe Denver has any authority to do anything apart from what the state requires. Hence, if a state park is outside the boundaries of the city and county of Denver, the state pre-emption law would apply. The Meyers decision exempted Denver due to the urban nature of Denver. A state park doesn't fit under that definition, so state pre-emption would still hold sway over their land, though it may be managed by employees of Denver.
I am not able at present to provide sources, but you can easily check with the Colorado State Parks website for folks to contact within the state park system who should know the score on your question.


text: I've been doing youtube+cpa\ppd for quite a long time and had some success in it, in both "white" methods and spamming comments/mass video uploading/ranking etc Tried lots of niches and methods Now I've completely stopped doing youtube completely, as I am concentrating on a completely new project for me. In my best months I was making 4000$+ using CPA and Youtube (traffic came mostly from my videos, though I tried comment spamming which generated some traffic too) I worked mostly with cleanfiles So if you have some problems/questions feel free to ask me here, I am not doing youtube+cpa anymore, so i don't really care about creating competition and stuff, can aswer any questions. Don't write questions like "how can I earn money with youtube?" Ask more cocrete questions, stupid questions will be ignored. Thx.

Introduction: In recent scientific literature, 2 proteins, macrophage migration inhibitory
factor (MIF) and high-mobility group-1 protein (HMG-1), have emerged as important mediators
of inflammation and sepsis.
Hypothesis: MIF and HMG-1 will be present in the serum of children who have undergone
cardiopulmonary bypass. MIF will be present in the myocardium of children who have undergone
cardiopulmonary bypass. The presence of MIF and HMG-1 in the serum and MIF in the myocardium
of children undergoing bypass will correlate with clinical outcome.
Methods: We will study a group of infants and children undergoing operative repair of
congenital heart disease during which there is an expectation of cardiac tissue removal.
Patients will have an assessment of cardiac function by echocardiography as well as blood
assays for tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-6, interleukin-8, interleukin-10, MIF,
and HMG-1 prior to surgery. Cardiac tissue, removed as a planned part of the procedure, will
be obtained from the cardiothoracic surgeons and assayed for MIF and for apoptosis, a
potential mechanism of myocardial dysfunction mediated by MIF and/or HMG-1. The patient will
be admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit post operatively for routine care. Blood will
be obtained at 1, 8, 24, 28, and 72 hours post operatively for the cytokine assays detailed
above. The blood will be drawn from indwelling arterial or venous catheters routinely placed
at the time of surgery. The amount of blood drawn (-4cc per sample) is unlikely to cause any
hemodynamic compromise or result in additional blood product replacement.
Sample size and Analysis Plan: 30 subjects will be enrolled to determine the presence or
absence of MIF/HMG-1 in the serum and cardiac tissue pre and post cardiopulmonary bypass.
Descriptive statistics of patient demographics and clinical outcome variables will be
correlated to serum and myocardial concentrations of the various cytokines.
PURPOSE: To document the presence or absence of the proinflammatory cytokines macrophage
migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and high-mobility group-1 protein (HMG-1) in the serum and
myocardium of children undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and to correlate the presence
or absence of these cytokines with clinical outcome after CPB
BACKGROUND: MIF, a 12.5 kD protein discovered in the 1960s as a substance produced by
sensitized T lymphocytes involved in delayed type hypersensitivity, has emerged as a key
cytokine in the innate immune response to infectious and inflammatory stimuli. Sources of
MIF include monocytes/macrophages, the anterior pituitary, liver, kidney, spleen, and brain.
MIF is released in response to various stimuli including lipopolysaccharide (LPS), toxic
shock syndrome toxin-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and interferon (INF). Once released,
MIF promotes the secretion of other proinflammatory mediators by macrophages and T-cells
thus intensifying the body's immune response. In addition, MIF has the unique ability to
override the anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects of glucocorticoids (Calandra et
al., Nature Medicine, Feb 2000). MIF in combination with LPS potentiates lethality in murine
endotoxemia models, and administration of anti-MIF antibodies increases survival in murine
sepsis models. (Calandra et al., Nature Medicine, Feb 2000). Additionally, MIF knockout
mouse models are resistant to lethal doses of LPS (Bozza et al., J Exp Med, Jan 1999).
HMG-1, a 30kD protein discovered in 1973, is a nonhistone chromatin-associated protein that
serves as a DNA binding protein involved in nucleosome stabilization, facilitation of gene
transcription, and as a modulator of steroid home receptor activity. More recently HMG-1 has
been implicated as a monocyte/macrophage derived cytokine that serves as a late mediator of
endotoxin lethality (Wang et al., Science 1999). Murine and human macrophages/monocytes
release large amounts of HMG-1 18 hours after exposure to bacterial endotoxin. Serum HMG-1
levels rise 16-36 hours after LPS administration in murine lethal endotoxemia models.
Administration of anti-HMG antibodies attenuates lethality in these models even when
administered 2 hours after LPS exposure. Purified rHMG-1 is lethal to LPS-responsive and
LPS-resistant mice. HMG-1 levels are increased in patients with sepsis and are higher in
non-survivors than survivors. (Wang et al., Science 1999). HMG levels are also increased in
patients with hemorrhagic shock (Ombrellino et al., Lancet 1999). HMG-1 induces TNF release
by cultured human peripheral blood monocytes (Andersson et al., J Exp Med, 2000).
Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) triggers an inflammatory state associated with endotoxemia and
cytokine elevation (Lequier et al., Chest, Jun 2000). Cytokines are known to have profound
effects on cardiac function in sepsis. Cardiac depression occurs commonly after CPB and may
be related to cytokine elevation. The role of MIF and HMG-1 in the CPB-induced inflammatory
state are unknown. We have demonstrated the presence of MIF in murine heart tissue in
response to LPS and are currently performing time course studies and functional assays
examining murine cardiac myocyte response to MIF stimulus. In order to examine the clinical
relevance of our laboratory data and to further characterize the inflammatory state
occurring after CPB, we would like to obtain human data correlating MIF levels in human
serum and myocardium with clinical outcome following CPB. Additionally, since the myocardial
depression seen after CPB occurs 12-24 hours after CPB suggesting that a late mediator of
inflammation may be important in post-CPB myocardial depression, we would like to assess for
HMG-1 in the serum of patients undergoing CPB and correlate the presence or absence of HMG-1
with clinical outcome.
CONCISE SUMMARY OF PROJECT: We propose to study a population of infants and children
undergoing operative repair of congenital heart disease during which there is an expectation
that cardiac tissue will be removed. Patients will have an assessment of cardiac function by
echocardiography as well as blood assays for tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-6,
interleukin-8, interleukin-10, complement 3a, MIF, and HMG-1 prior to surgery. Cardiac
tissue, removed as a planned part of the surgical procedure will be assayed for MIF as well
as for evidence of apoptosis, a potential mechanism of cell death and myocardial dysfunction
in response to MIF or HMG-1. The patients will be monitored in the PICU for a number of
clinical outcome indicators including vital signs, fluid status, inotropic requirement,
acid-base status, etc. Blood will be obtained prior to surgery and at 1, 8, 24, 48, and 72
hours post-operatively for cytokine assays to characterize the inflammatory response of each
patient. We will then determine if MIF and/or HMG-1 levels correlate with clinical outcome.
SOURCES OF RESEARCH MATERIAL: Blood will be obtained pre- and postoperatively as described.
Heart tissue will be obtained at the time of surgery as a routine part of the procedure. The
biochemical assays performed on the samples are for research purposes only. Clinical data
will be obtained from routinely recorded data from each patient's electronic PICU chart.
RECRIUTMENT OF SUBJECTS: Subjects will be recruited preoperatively in the cardiology clinic
or PICU. Written informed consent will be obtained from a parent/legal guardian by one of
the study investigators.
POTENTIAL RISKS: Study participation will not pose any additional discomfort or stress to
the patient/family. Cardiac tissue removal will be a planned portion of the cardiac surgical
repair regardless of study participation. Blood samples will be obtained from an indwelling
vascular catheter routinely placed prior to surgery and will be collected at times when
routine pre and post-operative tests are normally obtained. The amount of blood drawn
(~4cc/sample) should not cause any hemodynamic compromise or result in additional blood
product replacement. All patients will receive the same quality care and monitoring in the
PICU regardless of study participation. Patients will not be responsible for any costs
generated solely from research.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS: All blood samples will be obtained in a sterile fashion. Cardiac tissue
will be obtained in the operating room as a routine part of the surgical procedure.
BIOSTATISTICS: A random sample of 30 subjects will be selected to determine whether or not
MIF and HMG-1 are present in the cardiac tissue as well as serum obtained prior to and
following CPB as outlined above. Descriptive statistics of patient demographics and plasma
and tissue concentrations of indicated cytokines will be correlated to clinical outcome
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Any child under the age of 5 undergoing operative repair of congenital heart disease
on CPB where there is an expectation of cardiac tissue removal.
2. Written informed consent obtained from a parent/legal guardian.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Unable to obtain informed consent
2. Evidence of ongoing infection
3. Known immunodeficiency
