WadeAbstinencePro-LifeClipsGawker237EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkToday—the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade—pro-lifers Sarah & Bristol Palin will talk about Bristol's new vow of abstinence on Oprah. (Isn't the definition of insanity repeating the same mistake over and over expecting a different result?)AdvertisementThe guess is that this interview will mostly be hinged on the whole "waiting for marriage" thing, but it'll be interesting to see if Oprah asks Bristol about her legal battle with her ex Levi Johnston, asking for child support dating back to their son Tripp's birth. (Levi says that he offered her money in the past, but wouldn't take it.) 4:30 Bristol seems like she not only hates her own message, but also life, and possibly, her mother. Advertisement4:26 So that's it?4:23 Ha! Oprah just said that whomever curled Sarah's hair today must've gotten up at 3:30 in the morning.4:20 Sarah just completely contradicted Bristol's statement by saying that Bristol thinks that's a realistic goal for herself, but thinks that other girls should make their own choices.Sponsored4:18 Oprah asked Bristol why her sex life—or vow to not have one—is anyone's business. Bristol said, "I think it's a goal to have, and I think other young women should have that goal."4:15 Sarah said that Bristol was the picture of a "girl who wasn't supposed to get pregnant." Unless she doesn't menstruate or is dealing with some kind of endometriosis, I don't see how this picture is logical.Advertisement4:14 Seriously, I'm expecting her to ask Bristol what her favorite color is next. Or if she brushes her teeth in an up-and-down motion or from side-to-side.4:12 Oprah really needs to stop lobbing the soft balls. "Why do babies need to be bathed so much?" Because they get s-shaped poop on them all day!4:11 Now Bristol has joined the convo.Advertisement4:07 O brought up a good point by asking Sarah how she feels about being a part of the media now, after she slammed it in Going Rogue.4:05 Sarah says she is "not gonna close any doors that are open" in reference to a possible political career.4:01 Someone went to the local salon today.

Kids Can Thrive On Vegetarian Diets Too
Kids can thrive on vegetarian diets too – yes, you have read it right! Many of us still believe that any meatless diet is not nutritious and slows down the overall health development of a child. This is not at all true. In fact this has been proved by several researches in the recent times.
Dieticians often get clients who wonder, if a meat free diet will be healthy for their kid? Kids and vegetarian diet is one of the most debatable topics among parents and dieticians. There are several kids who show a liking towards vegetarian foods – it is recommended that in case of such children, parents should start off a vegetarian diet as soon as possible. It is just important to ensure that the kid is getting a balanced diet.
Any vegetarian diet can be healthy for kids as long as it is well planned. Even vegan diets, which exclude some important dairy foods as well as eggs, can be healthy for kids, as long as it is well planned. In fact, in the year 2009, in the American Dietetic Association it was unanimously agreed that vegetarian diets for adolescents and kids can actually help them throughout their lives by developing very healthy eating patterns among kids. Kids and vegetarian diet is all about ensuring that every meal is full of nutrients, vitamins and essential minerals which is essential for the health growth of mind and body.
However, parents need to understand a few things, if they have a vegetarian diet plan for their kids. Vegetarian diets are usually very high in fiber and are found to be very filling. Hence, a child on a vegetarian diet might have a full stomach very easily. In such a situation, it is recommended that you include a variety of foods in the kids diet and try to feed them small meals at equal intervals of time. This might be a tough task because kids are normally fussy eaters, but if you manage to prepare variety of foods; your child will show keen interest in what you have to offer. The debate on kids and vegetarian diet continues with more revelations on how a well planned vegetarian diet can help to improve the health of a child.
Mark Sardut, an eminent dietician says "On a vegan diet, iron and protein rich sources are limited mainly to legumes and nuts, and growing adolescents need to eat a lot of these foods to get sufficient protein. You could argue that there's protein in whole grains – but it's pretty dilute. Soy foods like tofu have a protein profile that's almost identical to meat and are safe to include - the key is to eat them in moderation and as one of a mix of different plant proteins. "
What do you have to say on kids and vegetarian diet? Let us know your experience!

Seeking the Missing Piece…
Contrary to popular belief, not everyone is born to be wild. For those of us who are, only some become riders. Motorcycling exists in mainstream media all over the world, but it's the real people who ride who make this sport what it truly is. There are riders hiding in the cracks and crevices of society, seek them out and you might find them in the most unexpected of places. How does one become a motorcyclist? From where does the desire, the privilege, and the circumstance to become part of such an elite group emerge?
Some believe its the motorcycle gods who live in the shadows, waiting for the day to convert yet another wayward soul. Many see us as a pack of wolves seeking new members, who are not interested in allowing just any stray dog off the street to join our pack. For others, they say it's in a biker's blood from the beginning – just a way of life they've always known.
So who recruited you to the dark side? How did you discover your passion for the two-wheeled way of life? Did you stumble upon the opportunity, or was it handed to you on a silver platter? Regardless of where you are now, you had to start somewhere… and the path that led you to motorcycling is unique to every individual. There is no "right way", there is only your way. We're sharing your stories with the world to give thanks to those who led you here.
An excerpt from Chapter Two of Queen Bees: Women Riders who Rule the Street, Track and Dirt –
"Without ever realizing it before now, motorcycles have been a part of my life since before I was born. Although I was not born into a household of bikers, my family did have a huge part in leading me towards the lifestyle of a rider. Always a tomboy seeking the next adventure, I found it mainly in backyards and basements playing "cops and robbers" or "knights and dragons" with my little brother and the neighborhood boys… this later translated to my thirst for the thrill and speed so many in my family had already indirectly exposed me to. When I look back at my life experiences in chronological order, my passion for motorcycles starts to make perfect sense. When it comes to matters of the heart, bikes have always played a huge part. I didn't choose to love motorcycling, motorcycling chose me." – Brittany Morrow
Here is a list of all the chapter subjects we will be featuring in Queen Bees:
1. Method to the Madness – Why I Ride.
2. Seeking the Missing Piece – How I Discovered Riding.
3. Addiction in the Making – My First Ride.
4. Home is Where the Heart is – My Favorite Place to Ride.
5. More than Just a Bike – How My Motorcycle Empowers Me.
6. Survivors, Soldiers, Warriors – Learning to Get Up After the Fall
7. Independent Women – What it Means to Rule

Well, three months and three boxes later, it seems they've finally taken the hint. I received my Glamour-sponsored July box today and was pleasantly surprised to see—tucked in amongst the lip gloss and nail polish and perfume samples, etc—a pair of blue and pink earbuds wrapped around a cardboard note: "Glamour's beauty editors put together the perfect "getting pretty" playlist. Turn up the music at glamour.com/spotify." Advertisement Advertisement If a "getting pretty" playlist is what it takes to convince Birchbox that ladies like tech, too, well...that's fine. I'd rather have these candy-colored earbuds—which are perfectly decent as far as free bonus gifts go—than another goddamn tea sachet.Reply26 repliesLeave a reply

CWS built and hosts the interactive OSU Campus Map.
OSU Drupal Themes
OSU Drupal comes with a few pre-installed OSU themes.
University Advancement has provided guidelines on acceptable customizations of the OSU Drupal themes in the OSU Brand Identity Guidelines.
OSU Standard
The OSU Standard theme was designed by University Advancement Web Communications and developed by Central Web Services. It has look and feel that blends perfectly with our new main website, it even features the very same top bar.
OSU Standard is designed to have a header navigation element and two right hand sidebars. It can be customized through the addition of a CCK and view to include rotating story content, inspired by the styling of the OSU Homepage.
Instructions on how to set up this CCK and View can be found in the Brand Guidelines entry on OSU Standard.
OSU Confident
The OSU Confident theme was designed by University Advancement Web Communications and developed by Central Web Services. This is the first theme to feature the OSU Tag from the new OSU Brand Identity Guidelines.
OSU Confident is extremely flexible, featuring multiple Drupal regions for editing and placing content. It is designed so that you can use right and/or left sidebars. It features a choice of four accent colors (orange, chocolate, steel blue and purple) as well as two background colors (light or dark) . You can configure the large header image (on the right) to rotate, change on load or be a static single image. The theme comes with campus images, but you can use your own (560 x 225 pixels). This theme also features an optional short secondary page header that can be used in place of the large graphic header.

- How to Read a Study Record
This is a longitudinal observational study of HIV-infected patients and HIV-negative control patients that is being conducted to learn more about immunologic factors, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk in patients with HIV infection or in patients with autoimmune disease. The investigators plan to obtain measurement of carotid artery intima media thickness (IMT) using high resolution ultrasound as a noninvasive means for tracking atherosclerotic progression. The investigators will also measure lipid and lipoprotein levels, inflammatory markers, markers of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, thrombotic markers, atherogenic lipoproteins, and markers of immune function. Immunophenotyping will be performed on freshly collected blood and analyzed by flow cytometry to identify activated T-cells, T-cell turnover, proportions of T-cells, and CMV function. HIV-infected patients will have CD4 count and HIV viral load measured in addition. Patients will undergo detailed clinical history including HIV disease, specific HIV medications, comorbid conditions, and health related behaviors. Physical exam and measurements will be obtained to assess for the presence of lipodystrophy. Patients will undergo study visits for ultrasound, blood draw, and interview at 4-12 month intervals for the next 3 years.
Patients will also go assessment of endothelial function, endothelial progenitor cells, arterial stiffness as measured using pulse wave tonometry.
To demonstrate the feasibility of a larger scale investigation of cardiac arrhythmia in HIV positive and negative patients with cardiac disease, the investigators will use 48-hour Holter monitor surveillance to monitor HIV-infected and uninfected patients with a history of myocardial infarction, systolic left ventricular dysfunction, and/or pulmonary artery hypertension for the presence of cardiac arrhythmia.
The FDG PET scan (18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography) will be used to detect and quantify inflammation in the body.

Hunt for Bhatkal's Bihar associate
Patna, Sep 2 : Raids were conducted Monday in Bihar's Samastipur district to nab a terror operative considered close to Indian Mujahideen co-founder Yasin Bhatkal, police said.
Four days after Bhatkal was arrested, a National Investigation Agency (NIA) team conducted raids in Samastipur district.
"NIA team raided the house of Mohd Tahsim alias Monu, accused of several terrorist attacks, in Maniari village in Samastipur in his search but he was not found," a district police official said.
According to police officials, the NIA team also interrogated his family members, including his father.
NIA announced a reward of Rs. 10 lakh for him and an arrest warrant has been issued against him.
NIA is searching for Mohd Tahsim alias Monu since early this year.
"In last eight months, NIA had raided thrice to search for him," a police official said.
Bhatkal is the brain behind recruitment of youth in Bihar to carry out terror attacks across the country.
Bhatkal, wanted by police in 12 states for bombings and other terror activities in the last five years, was arrested in Raxaul in East Champaran district Thursday. He was arrested along with Asadullah Akhtar, his terror accomplice.
He revealed during interrogation that he recruited youth from Bihar's Mithilanchal region, including Darbhanga, Madhubani and Samastipur districts, in the last few years, said a superintendent of police rank official.
"Bhatkal confessed that he used to target young boys, mostly from poorest of the poor background, in Mithilanchal for recruitment to carry out terror attacks in the country," said the official who was part of a team that interrogated Bhatkal in Bihar soon after he was arrested.
The NIA team had arrested Mohammad Danish Ansari, an alleged operative of Indian Mujahideen, from Chakjora village in Darbhanga in January 2013.
Ansari is allegedly a close associate of IM founder Yasin Bhatkal. Security agencies claim that Ansari provided shelter to Yasin Bhatkal in 2009 and 2010 in Bihar.(IANS)

Tit for Tat is an old expression that means repayment in kind, retaliation, as in for an injury. Tit for tat takes place when one side of a disagreement believes the other side has done something that is worthy of punishment. Retaliation takes place in order to balance the scales. Those of us who have been paying attention to the news see this kind of thing all the time; for example, if the Republicans get a 'win' which seems to happen WAY too much for my liking the Democrats will find a way to extract some repayment in the form of legislation that is important to the left.… [Read more]

As I was skimming over the critic responses to last night's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I ran across A Whiteboard That Explains Terminator's Entire History over at i09. Interesting, heh.
And as for TTSCC, the God-talk has dramatically increased this season--particularly the last two epsiodes. I'm still trying to process it all. I'm wondering if I should wait until next week's season finale (or is it the series finale? We won't know until May) or put some thoughts out there now. We'll see.
I do know one thing for sure: it is intriguing to see a science fiction show so enamored with biblical allusion, religious exploration and God-talk. It's making me think that this genre really is becoming the preferred and safe one in which to explore themes related to faith and God.

In The Gryphons Aerie, we take a "quality over quantity" approach to membership. New recruits join on a brief trial period to help foster close bonds of friendship and further strengthen the guild as a whole. New members are given time to settle in and adjust to the workings of the guild without having the pressure to contribute to the guild (although, participation is highly encouraged and aids in a successful trial membership).
There are no character race or class requirements; membership is open to all. We do not judge a person's membership qualifications based on race, nationality, sexuality, or gender identification. Many members of the guild are either part of, or allies of, the LGBT community. What truly matters is how you act and treat others.
We believe in helping our members as much as possible. All one needs to do is ask and we'll do our best to aid with answers, a battle buddy or three, learning how to RP, or even some gear to give you a better chance against all the nasties. We do not require specific builds to run dungeons/fractals, nor do we encourage or teach "speed runs".

Guild Lore (work in progress):
During the Krytan Wars and the rise of the White Mantle, there were many people who fell victim to the oppression and devastation. Driven from their homes, those lucky enough to escape the clutches of the White Mantle with their lives banded together and settled on the outskirts of the great Maguuma Jungle.Though word eventually reached the small village that the war had ended and the White Mantle scattered, the people still feared the possibility that small groups of White Mantle might find them.
Scouts were sent out into the jungle to search for a safe place to call home. Many weeks passed before they returned with news. Hidden deep within were some ancient ruins that fit what they sought. In a short time, the village was ready to move and secure their new home. The work went quickly with every able person helping to clear the ruins and in a month, the ruins were transformed into a stronghold where the people could live in safety. Whispered rumors of a hidden sanctuary, named "The Gryphon's Aerie", that offered refuge to all who sought it spread throughout Kryta and the people began to trickle in.
For many years, The Aerie, as it was nicknamed, flourished. Yet, as peace took over Tyria, the stronghold's need started to wane. In time, as fewer and fewer sought refuge within the walls, the Aerie returned to the ruins it was built on. Time ticked by and eventually even the memory of it faded away. The only clues to the history were countless rolled scrolls and thick tomes sealed away within stone tombs; waiting for a day when the Aerie would be needed once again.
After being set up by a rival street gang in Divinity's Reach, a pair of sisters were forced into hiding and headed west to find a safe place they could stay. Their travels took them all the way into the dusty wastes of the once lush Maguuma Jungle, where they came across some ruins. Realizing that it was once home to humans, they set about turning it into a place where they could be safe.
The sisters sent messages to others of their gang, inviting them to join them at their new hideout. By word of mouth, more people came to "The Aerie", as the sisters learned what the stronghold was once called, and were welcomed. With their past lives of thievery hidden from nearly all who settled in "The Aerie", the stronghold began to grow as all kinds of people came from merchants and artisans to mercenaries and soldiers willing to lend a protective blade for a few coin.

Obviously, the SSD and mobile hard drive results won't be as relevant to our discussion of the new Caviar Green. You'll want to pay particular attention to how the Green compares to its 2TB predecessor and Seagate's low-power Barracuda LP. The LP tops out at 2TB, which is as big as you can get Seagate's internal hard drives at the moment.
On the SSD front, we've collected all the other relevant players, including drives based on Indilinx, Intel, JMicron, Marvell, SandForce, and Toshiba controllers. Although it might not seem like a fair fight, we've also thrown in results for a striped RAID 0 array built using a pair of Intel's X25-V SSDs. The X25-V only runs a little more than $100 online, making multi-drive RAID arrays affordable enough to be tempting for desktop users. Our X25-V array was configured using Intel's P55 storage controller, the default 128KB stripe size, and the company's latest 18.104.22.1684 Rapid Storage Technology drivers.
The block-rewrite penalty inherent to SSDs and the TRIM command designed to offset it both complicate our testing somewhat, so I should explain our SSD testing methods in greater detail. Before testing the drives, each was returned to a factory-fresh state with a secure erase, which empties all the flash pages on a drive. Next, we fired up HD Tune and ran full-disk read and write speed tests. The TRIM command requires that drives have a file system in place, but since HD Tune requires an unpartitioned drive, TRIM won't be a factor in those tests.
After HD Tune, we partitioned the drives and kicked off our usual IOMeter scripts, which are now aligned to 4KB sectors. When running on a partitioned drive, IOMeter first fills it with a single file, firmly putting SSDs into a used state in which all of their flash pages have been occupied. We deleted that file before moving onto our file copy tests, after which we restored an image to each drive for some application testing. Incidentally, creating and deleting IOMeter's full-disk file and the associated partition didn't affect HD Tune transfer rates or access times.
Our methods should ensure that each SSD is tested on an even, used-state playing field. However, differences in how eagerly an SSD elects to erase trimmed flash pages could affect performance in our tests and in the real world. Testing drives in a used state may put the TRIM-less Plextor SSD at a disadvantage, but I'm not inclined to indulge the drive just because it's using a dated controller chip.
To make our massive collection of results a little easier to interpret, we've colored our bar charts by drive type. This color coding separates the SSDs from 2.5" and 3.5" mechanical drives and marks low-RPM versions of the latter, allowing the Caviar Green to stand out from the crowd, at least visually.
Most of our tests run on drives connected as secondary storage, so we were able to use the Caviar Green's full 3TB with our test system's default configuration, which uses the Microsoft AHCI drivers built into Windows 7. For the few tests that required booting off the Green, we elected to stick with the same config, since moving to the HighPoint card would've made the results less comparable—we'd be switching storage controllers, as well. The impact of running the Green at slightly less than full capacity should be negligible considering that our boot and system partition only amounts to 100GB, most of which is unused.
With few exceptions, all tests were run at least three times, and we reported the median of the scores produced. We used the following system configuration for testing:
You can read more about the hardware that makes up our twin storage test systems on this page of our VelociRaptor VR200M review. Thanks to Gigabyte for providing the twins' motherboards and graphics cards, OCZ for the memory and PSUs, Western Digital for the system drives, and Thermaltake for SpinQ heatsinks that keep the Core i5s cool.
We used the following versions of our test applications:
The test systems' Windows desktop was set at 1280x1024 in 32-bit color at a 75Hz screen refresh rate. Vertical refresh sync (vsync) was disabled for all tests.
Most of the tests and methods we employed are publicly available and reproducible. If you have questions about our methods, hit our forums to talk with us about them.

its like everything else mate its sounds great in theory but ud have to work out a system so the device knew which exercise was which
but if ur perfect it mate ull have enough money to pay people to lift weights for u lol
What if I built a bench with a weight scale and laser points to measure reps? Little pads to put dumbells on and calculate the weight and some kind of device for them to measure reps that sticks on with magnets?
Then it could all tie into an electronic device and give you a journal of your workout with out needing to stop and write it down.
You stack your weight on, hit calculate and it saves that weight. Start a timer then you do one set and it calcs reps, calc rest time, second set reps, rest, etc.
I could sell this to gyms they could hand out the devices to customers and the customer could then come back afterwards and either have the gym transfer it to digital media or print it out for them.

•The purpose and strategy of the service need to be clear. I have seen several churches suffering identity crises. They don't realize it, but they are unsure who they are or why they are there. As a result, they don't know what they are doing in their worship services. Let me explain.
It is through prayer, fasting, discussion and the Holy Spirit's leading that a church must determine the core identity and context of a Sunday morning service. This may change from season to season, but it begins with some fundamental questions. For example, a church must ask: Are we a seeker-sensitive church? A renewal church? A family church? An emergent church? A traditional church?
Each of these ideas will express itself differently in a Sunday morning service. If the pastor sees the church heading in one direction but the worship leader has a different vision—all while other congregants see it moving in various other directions—the result will be disastrous. You'll experience Sunday after Sunday of disjointed "stop and start" services.
I am not a big proponent of the seeker-sensitive movement, but if a church decides to be seeker-sensitive, that needs to be clear so expectations are established and up-front. When the leadership resorts to ambiguity because they are afraid of offending or losing people, they dilute the church's message and purpose.
• A "call to worship" brings focus to the worship service. Distractions diminish our ability to receive from the Lord in a worship service. We come to church tired from a full week, harried after pushing through traffic and trying to find a parking space, and 10 minutes late. We walk into church and presto!—we are supposed to enter the presence of the Lord.
Many worship leaders fail to challenge congregants to be mindful of what they are actually doing in worship. They aren't just going through the motions; they are coming face-to-face with the living God. Rather than abruptly beginning a service, I advocate a "call to worship." Perhaps this could take the form of a hymn, a Scripture verse read corporately, or an exhortation to focus one's heart or to lift one's hands in worship. Whatever shape it takes, we should try to lead others into the presence of God with focused minds and grateful hearts.
• Physical expressions are at the heart of biblical worship. Here are a few Bible verses that demonstrate this truth (emphasis added):
• "Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker" (Ps. 95:6).
• "Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph!" (Ps. 47:1).
• "Praise Him with the timbrel and dance" (Ps. 150:4).
• "Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the Lord" (Ps. 134:2).
• "I will sing and give praise" (Ps. 57:7).
If we are to worship in spirit and in truth, we must employ spirit, soul and body. People will follow our example.
• A worship service engages in the battle for time. As more things compete for more of our time, the spiritual discipline of "waiting on the Lord" becomes more difficult. But if we fail to model this important practice, how can we expect our congregants to apply this vital habit to their daily devotional lives?
In Pentecostal and charismatic services not too long ago, we had "tarrying" services. During these protracted times of worship souls would soften. People would approach the altar, perhaps with music quietly playing in the background or with the pastor leading in a prayer of repentance, intercession or adoration.
Today almost all Sunday morning services are 90 minutes long to the minute. Most Sunday night services have been cancelled. Does the church have the fortitude to stand up against the demands of culture and fight for time with the Lord? Nothing can replace an uninterrupted, intimate awareness of His presence.
As servants tasked with leading the body of Christ, we must grow in spiritual maturity and in expressions of worship. May we champion His purposes, knowing that our choices will impact not only us, but also our brothers and sister in Christ. And may we live with His priorities at the forefront of our leadership.

Skye... they're talking about the ridiculous censorship that appeared in SEED's daytime airing, which, among other things, turned regular sidearms used by people into laser guns. NOT the beam rifles and such used by the mobile suits themselves.

Rumor was the writer had issues with Cagalli's VA, and went out of her way to make her unlikable, and then more or less removed her from the story for the finale. And when Shinn's VA defended her, she also made him into an unlikable jerk and replaced him with Kira as the main.
Of course nearly all the VAs had issues with the show. Kira and Lacus's VA's complained the characters were so calm and mellow they were boring to play, and Lacus's VA had much more fun playing Meer. While Athrun's VA said he had no idea what Athrun was supposed to be feeling because his characterisation was all over the place. And Luna's VA said the director gave her a very hard time while performing (which is hard to believe because Luna didn't really get any major scenes). Even the dub actors were appalled at what the show had turned into when they returned. Matt Hill, Kira's english VA in particular had no clue why Kira suddenly became the way he was. And this was the guy who was so into Kira in Seed that he had the audio director kick him in the crotch in the recording booth so he could cry more effectively. |

That fearless girl who fought BuCUEs like crazy has responsibilities now. She's not being a coward, just letting her bodyguard do his job. Cagalli has no reason to be stubborn with Athrun like she was with Kira in the first episode of SEED.

Anything that we already don't know? Morosawa was a sackload of utter wank and the executives from Sunrise/Bandai should have branded her the red card when they saw how things got out of hand between her and the VAs.
This kind of procedure shouldn't be so different from what is done in the US when the writer 1) just plain sucks and 2) gets into an argument with several actors at the same time. |

Teen Tracking is Easy and Keeps them Accountable
By Greg Bartlett Teen drivers are some of the worst drivers in the country. On a regular basis, news reporters announce the tragic death of a handful of teenagers that were riding in a car at a rapid pace. These teens fall easily to peer pressure, and they regularly drive fast with friends in the car. With music blaring and friends talking, it can be easy to lose focus and run off road or into another car. Teen drivers need something that can keep them accountable, and teen tracking with GPS technology can help do this. Parents can monitor theirRead More
GPS Tracking Watch Protects Children
by Greg Bartlett Every day children disappear from playgrounds, shopping malls, and parking lots that are never found. This is probably the worst thing that could happen to any parent as they would do anything to prevent their child from being kidnapped. But how can they keep an eye on their child at all times? GPS tracking devices may be the answer. With a real time GPS tracker, parents would be able to go online and immediately locate their child. If the child was missing, this information could be given to the law enforcement officers and the child could beRead More

Airlines Required to Install New GPS Technology
By Greg Bartlett In only ten years, every airplane in the sky will be required to use the new GPS navigation system known as NextGen. This high tech tracking system uses global positioning satellites to pinpoint a plane's location and send it to receivers on the ground as well as receivers in other planes. Once every aircraft has this system, air travel safety is expected to increase with the increase in communication. Another benefit of NextGen is the greater accuracy of this technology in predicting the locations of planes. With the current radar system, air traffic controllers or pilots sometimesRead More

5 Beauty Secrets to Great Skin
Super-foods you smear on
-Lois Joy Johnson
Like most women I ignore the food pyramid, that gross triangle-shaped grid nutritionists use to force-feed better eating habits on us. As a beauty editor I prefer the food tower for guidance – a lean narrow list of good-for-your-looks ingredients that you don't even have to ingest! Here are the top five beauty secrets that keep your skin glowing, smooth and wrinkle and blemish free:
Tomatoes contain Lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that offers protection against UV induced damage. If you have been a sunscreen skimper try:
• Yes To Tomatoes Totally Tranquil Facial Hydrating Lotion for Oily/ Combination Skin ($14.99, drugstore.com)
• Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti- Sun Damage Daily Moisture Lotion SPF 28 ($12.99, cvs.com)
Acai and goji berries contain antioxidants, amino acids and essential fatty acids, while pomegranate has an antioxidant that fights brown spots and clarifies dull skin. If you want better skin with less makeup try:

Mushrooms are crammed with proteins, lipids, and vitamins. Scientists claim shiitake and mammentake (reishi) mushroom extracts help prevent the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin. Soy has powerful antioxidant benefits and plumps up skin for a firmer look. If wrinkles are a priority try:
• Aveeno Positively Ageless Lifting & Firming Moisturizer SPF30 with a shiitake complex
($19.99 drugstores, cvs.com)
• Aveeno Positively Radiant Triple Boosting Serum with soy ($16.49 drugstores, cvs.com)
Fish has omega 3 essential fatty acids, which are potent de-agers with protective abilities that lock-in moisture so your skin stays hydrated longer. If you want firmer, dewier skin try:
• NARSskin Potent EFA Cream ($70, narscosmetics.com)
Caffeine is an antioxidant that effectively drains excess fluid that causes a puffy look. If your eyes are the target zone for salt and water retention try:
• Olay ProX Eye Restoration Complex ($42.00, drugstores)
• Kiehls Eye Alert ($20.50, kiehls.com)
Tell me, Bettys, have you tried any of these super skin foods? What are some of your beauty secrets?

I like most styles of Japanese green tea, and I like to keep my black teas simple. It's rare that I like a flavored tea, but there are a few, usually berry or floral.

Garry Sandhu has released his first single Raatan from his upcoming album Magic. The song is a sad love ballad full of nostalgia. The video is out as well and strongly compliments the song.
Raatan has lovely music which is composed by Rupin Kahlon. The best thing in the song is less usage of musical instruments instead Garry has concentrated more on his singing this time.
The video is directed by Parmod Sharma Rana and has been released on Fresh Media Records.

Canada Cord winners
Red serge for Canada Cord winners: RCMP Const. Laura Bowman led 1st Maple Pathfinders (from left) Lucy Toews, Hannah Taylor and Quinn Flick into the Maritime Heritage Centre to receive their Canada Cord June 6. The Canada Cord is the highest award earned by a Pathfinder – the 12-14 age group of Guides Canada – and involves several years of work. These recipients have given service in such ways as volunteering at the Campbell River Food Bank and contributing to the SPCA and international relief and environmental projects. They have also developed camping and leadership skills, and presented to City Council on Girl Guides, as part of their Citizenship Award.

Transparency in governments, financial institutes and business is key to growing a stable global economy. Without this, corruption has the opportunity to distort markets, undermine development and make business unsustainable. According to the World Bank, corruption increases the cost of doing business up to 10% globally. In the 2012, the Global Compact Annual Implementation Survey – the largest survey on corporate sustainability practices with input from over 1,700 businesses – 39% of respondents ranked corruption as a major obstacle to sustainable development. Sustainability and market growth cannot be attained in the absence of transparency and where corruption is prevalent.
While game-changing ideas and large-scale initiatives are difficult to implement, a "coalition of the willing" is rapidly developing, with business, civil society and government leaders around the world exhibiting greater interest in supporting anti-corruption initiatives. This momentum reflects a tipping point where stakeholders can collaborate to design corruption out of the system.
In the 2014-2016 term, Global Agenda Council on Transparency & Anti-Corruption will support large-scale transformation in the transparency and anti-corruption arena through its work by identifying and advancing the core levers of change such as B20 collective action hubs, harmonizing legal framework, and designing efforts to increase public awareness on corruption needed to design corruption out of the system at the global, regional and industry levels. The council will continue its effort to increase awareness and greater public education on this topic through social media, educational programmes and other mechanisms.

Cairo, Egypt, March 28, 2013 – Egypt's victory at the 2013 Girls' Youth African Nations Championship on Wednesday, has only confirmed the North African country's dominance in the sport following their titles in three out of four recent age-category tournaments.
Egypt also took the Boys' Youth (U19) African Nations Championship in Algeria and the Women's Junior (U20) competition in Nigeria. Tunisia claimed the fourth competition – the Men's Junior (U21) tournament – in their homeland.
The Egyptian girls were the last to be crowned on Wednesday after they won the round-robin competition. Tunisia came second, followed by Algeria and Rwanda.
The Egyptian team won all three matches in straight sets. In addition to the title, Egypt took the following three of the seven individual awards: Most Valuable Player (Aya Khalid), Best Attacker (Sarah Hanafy) and Best Blocker (Heidi Kandel).
With the conclusion of the four age-group championships, all the African vacancies at the respective FIVB World Championships have been determined.

empty 1-2ml chromatography columnsHi guys,
I am looking for 1-2 ml empty chromatography columns into which I could load my Sephadex beads... Do you have any idea where can I get them? GE for example only sells 8 ml columns which are a bit too big for my needs... Arik
I would say that your favorite lab product company (like VWR or fisher scientific, for the big names, but many other companies probably offer the same products, generally cheaper) have that. But I would recommend in the case of those 2 big company that you give a phone call to your friendly sales rep. Their websites are worse than useless, and it does not seem to improve over time...
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without any proof. (Ashley Montague)
We have been using the syringe with bit glass wool method for a while and I believe it is time to move forward now that we have the bucks..... I decided to go for the Bio-Rad disposable columns - I believe they are the same as VWR or fisher. Thanks a lot. Arik

Restoration Weekend: A Call For Action!
First of all, I would like to join my fellow blogger Chris Yogerst in thanking David Horowitz, Michael Finch, and everyone else at the Freedom Center for providing us one of the most stimulating conferences that I have ever attended in my life.
What I got out of the Restoration Weekend – in addition to meeting fascinating people, paying tribute to our military and and listening to provocative speeches from Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, Ann Coulter and many others – was a call to action. Horowitz performed his own version of Paul Revere's Midnight Ride – summoning every American who believes that our country is heading over the cliff to do whatever he or she can to help us reverse course now!
Several speakers, including Bachmann, made the point that the Democratic leadership is hellbent on passing their reckless agenda, even if it means giving up their power temporarily in 2010 and 2012. They are of the view that once programs like Obamacare and cap-and-trade are passed, the country will be so radically altered that it will only be a matter of time before they return to power with permanent majorities. And just in case there is any doubt, they will make sure to re-fund ACORN's fraudulent vote-stealing programs and a universal voting registration program that will be sure to bring millions of illegal immigrants and convicted felons to the voting booths without challenge.
Representative Bachmann has taken up Horowitz's call to lead the tea party movement in a protest of the insane trial in federal civil court of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed and his band of co-terrorists. Ms. Bachmann asked the audience members to give her their cards so that a contact list can be compiled of potential protesters. Of course, I obliged. I live in New York and was a block from Ground Zero on 9/11. I intend to protest the propaganda circus that Eric Holder is bringing to town, along with hopefully many thousands of other outraged Americans.
This is but one of many fronts in the ongoing war against the Left to take back our country.
The Democrats' health insurance monstrosity moved forward in the Senate during what is being aptly referred to as a Saturday Night Massacre. We heard from Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina by phone the morning after (the massacre unexpectedly took him back to Washington D.C. to vote.) He reported on plans ahead to stop the bill from leaving the Senate floor. It will be an uphill battle, to be sure.
But even if the filibuster-proof majority in the Senate holds together and the bill advances to become law against the wishes of the majority of the American people, the war is not over. In the spirit of Restoration Weekend's call for action, it must be challenged in court on the day it is enacted.
The mandate for every individual to purchase health insurance at levels dictated by the government can be overturned as an unconstitutional overreach of Congressional power. With a center-right Supreme Court that resists encroachments on individual and states rights, there is a real chance that this provision can be invalidated. It is the first time that Congress has ever required all of us to purchase something – i.e., to engage in commerce even if we choose not to – simply because we are alive and breathing. That is not regulating interstate commerce. It is forcing individuals to engage in commerce or face penalties and possible jail time simply because they are alive. Even the income tax required the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution in order for it to be lawfully imposed.
If this provision can be overturned, the Obamacare ponzi scheme may well fall apart like a house of cards.
Stay tuned tomorrow for some ideas to stop some other Leftist assaults on our freedoms, such as accommodation of Islam in our public schools.
Carterthewriter permalinkNovember 24, 2009 10:03 am
What can I say, truly an historic event that coinsides with with several other enlightening declarations; most notably, the religiois community finally taking a stand for freedom.
Upwards and onwards from the corner of our country.

I can almost hear the angry and confused old man voice behind this note.
"These kids and their so called "rock" and or "roll" bands! Damn hippies need hair cuts! And then they will fly kites? Sounds like commie-pinko crap if you tell me. That pie thing, what is that all about? Probably bombs. Got to get military intelligence [SERIOUSLY?] in on this. Now I need another martini. Lousy thankless wife and kids…"
Kudos to the snitch who spent his life lying to people's faces so he could get some cash for his drugs or whatever. I can picture him sneaking into the FBI offices via the back way to collect his cash, his tail wagging wildly. "Did I do good, did I?"

Slider king White Castle is test marketing beer and wine sales.
The Columbus, Ohio-based burger chain has suds and vino on the menu at a location in Lafayette, Ind., and could decide to go nationwide with the alcoholic beverages.
A company spokesman told The Columbus Dispatch customers have given their approval. A glass of wine goes for $4.50 and a domestic beer $3.
The 90-year-old chain was founded in Wichita, Kan., where the steamed burgers intially sold for a nickel apiece. While it doesn't have nearly te number fo stores as the bigger burger chains, its revenues-per-store are second only to McDonald's, according to The New York Times.

Sidney Crosby scored the game's only goal late in the second period as the Pittsburgh Penguins extended their winning streak to 13 with a 1-0 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.
Pittsburgh goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury stopped all 22 shots he faced, but did not play in the third period following a collision in front of the Penguins' net. Tomas Vokoun filled in and made 15 saves to give Pittsburgh just the fourth combined shutout in franchise history.
Fleury appeared woozy after getting slammed into by teammate Tyler Kennedy and Montreal's Brian Gionta late in the second period. He laid on the ice for a moment to collect himself, but did not come out of the dressing room for the third.
Carey Price made 24 saves for the Canadiens, but could not stop Montreal from losing consecutive games for the first time this season.
Crosby finally broke through in a tight game with 6 minutes, 41 seconds remaining in the second period, taking a long lead pass from Chris Kunitz, then sending a wrist-shot from the right circle over Price's right shoulder for his 15th goal of the season.
In Philadelphia, Rick Nash scored twice, while Derek Stepan had a goal and three assists as New York extended their dominance of Philadelphia.
Brad Richards and Chris Kreider also scored for New York, who have won 11 of the past 12 meetings with Philadelphia.
Rangers coach John Tortorella became the 30th coach in NHL history to reach 400 wins, as his team maintained their hold on the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
Wayne Simmonds and Jakub Voracek scored for Philadelphia.
In Vancouver, Cory Schneider stopped 17 shots and Maxim Lapierre scored the only goal in a shootout, as Vancouver won their fifth straight by defeating Columbus.
Schneider only saw two shots in the first period, but stopped 15 in the final 45 minutes for his seventh career shutout and his third this season.
He stopped all three Columbus attempts in the shootout.
The Canucks moved past Minnesota into third place in the Western Conference, regaining the Northwest Division lead.
Sergei Bobrovsky made 34 saves for Columbus, who lost their second in a row, but are still on a 7-1-3 run.
In Chicago, Ray Emery made 16 saves for his first shutout in more than three years, while defensemen Nick Leddy and Brent Seabrook scored as Chicago snapped a two-game losing streak.
Emery improved to 12-0 in recording his 12th career shutout and his first since Feb. 1, 2010, when he blanked the Flames while with Philadelphia.
Emery was tested several times, but the Blackhawks outshot the Flames 35-16 in sending them to their 10th straight road loss (0-9-1).
In Toronto, Joffrey Lupul scored twice in the third period and Ben Scrivens made 40 saves in Toronto's victory over Florida.
Lupul scored on a power play 22 seconds into the third to put Toronto ahead 2-1. Florida tied it 23 seconds later when Shawn Matthias banked in the puck off Leafs defenseman Mike Kostka, and Lupul brought the Air Canada Center crowd to their feet again at 3:12 with his second of the game.
Lupul has six goals in four games since returning from a broken forearm.
Scrivens preserved the one-goal lead with a glove save off Tyson Strachan with 7:15 left.

While we love (and often buy) fancy dresses and tailored little-man clothes, 99 percent of the time, our kids are wearing comfy cotton play clothes. That's why we're smitten with Brit brand Tootsa MacGinty, a line that proves the royal baby isn't the only hot kid happening going on across the pond. Not only is the line full of bright colors, cool graphics, and comfortable tees, tanks, leggings, and more, but it's also unisex, which means you can pass all the adorableness down to your next child, no matter if your nursery switches from pink to blue. Tootsa MacGinty's Summer collection (now on sale, with all pieces weighing in at under $40!) is a must see, full of whale, sea lion, and popsicle graphics and bold shades of blue, green, and yellow. We're loving everything in the line, which ships to the US, and after you check out our favorite pieces, we bet you'll be hooked, too!

White Purim
I wasn't dreaming of a white Purim, but that's what we got. Saturday night, Shabbat went out, and I shoveled out our car in raver pants that were bigger and bulkier than a dress and a three-piece paisley suit. This was the kind of Purim costume that was the essence of last-minute decision-making: every weird object in your wardrobe thrown out onto the beds, picked over and jigsawed together into a more-or-less coherent outfit. My wife dressed as a pregnant flapper — only half of it needed a costume. Our daughter was the easiest: we threw wings on her and called her a fairy. Mine was the trickiest of all our costumes, and took the longest time to get ready. A nice change from the usual going-out routine of me being the first dressed.
But here I was, shoveling away at the Brooklyn snow, making the design of my paisley suit more and more colourful by the moment. (I was dressed as, depending upon who was asking, either a pimp, a bootlegger, or one of my wife's accessories.) Itta came out, saw the car still three-quarters shoveled in after half an hour, and decided we'd never get there. So we called a cab.
We were an hour late, but the advantage of going to an event thrown by Jews is that everyone else is 90 minutes late. We ran in just as the crowd was starting to move away from the snack table and get pumped up for the megillah reading…despite the fact that you're not actually supposed to eat until after you hear megillah. But I'm just one of those anal folks. Seriously, in forty-nine years I'm going to be one of those 80-year-old men at the back of the synagogue complaining about everyone else. Tonight, I just shut up and enjoyed the show.
When you're doing an actual megillah reading — in Hebrew, that is, and without a break to explain the action — it's hard to have adults and children in the same room. Kids (especially kids that don't know Hebrew) are not going to follow the rapid-fire delivery. Many adults won't, either. As a potential cure, I've seen puppet shows and simultaneous storytelling.

Jewelry of the Middle Ages was massive; large brooches and girdles predominated. Amber was worn as a protection against evil spirits. After 1300 glass beads were used. The Renaissance brought a transformation in the art of the jeweler; noted artists and architects often designed or even rendered pieces of jewelry. Jewelry was splendid with enamel and precious stones; heavy gold link chains, jeweled collars, and the necklace with pendant were worn by both men and women. Jewelry, worn to excess, became overcrowded with stones, to the neglect of the design and setting. By the late 17th cent. the goldsmith and enameler gave way before the lapidary and mounter. A process of making imitation pearls was first discovered in 1680; thereafter, ropes of pearls became highly popular for women.
