Patient Education
- GI Bleeding
- Overview of GI Bleeding
- Varices
- Vascular GI Lesions
Varices are dilated veins in the distal esophagus or proximal stomach caused by elevated pressure in the portal venous system, typically from cirrhosis. They may bleed massively but cause no other symptoms. Diagnosis is by upper endoscopy. Treatment is primarily with endoscopic banding and IV octreotide. Sometimes a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting procedure is needed.
(See also Overview of GI Bleeding.)
Portal hypertension results from a number of conditions, predominantly liver cirrhosis. If portal pressure remains higher than inferior vena caval pressure for a significant period, venous collaterals develop. The most dangerous collaterals occur in the distal esophagus and gastric fundus, causing engorged, serpentine submucosal vessels known as varices. These varices partially decompress portal hypertension but can rupture, causing massive GI bleeding. The trigger for variceal rupture is unknown, but bleeding almost never occurs unless the portal/systemic pressure gradient is > 12 mm Hg. Coagulopathies caused by liver disease may facilitate bleeding.
See also the American College of Gastroenterology's practice guidelines on variceal hemorrhage in cirrhosis.
Symptoms and Signs
Patients typically present with sudden, painless, upper GI bleeding, often massive. Signs of shock may be present. Bleeding is usually from the distal esophagus, less often from the gastric fundus. Bleeding from gastric varices also may be acute but is more often subacute or chronic.
Bleeding into the GI tract may precipitate portal-systemic encephalopathy in patients with impaired hepatic function.
Both esophageal and gastric varices are best diagnosed by endoscopy, which may also identify varices at high risk of bleeding (eg, those with red markings). Endoscopy is also critical to exclude other causes of acute bleeding (eg, peptic ulcer), even in patients known to have varices; perhaps as many as one third of patients with known varices who have upper GI bleeding have a nonvariceal source.
Because varices are typically associated with significant hepatic disease, evaluation for possible coagulopathy is important. Laboratory tests include CBC with platelets, PT, PTT, and liver function tests. Bleeding patients should have type and cross-match for 6 units of packed RBCs.
In about 40% of patients, variceal bleeding stops spontaneously. Previously, mortality was > 50%, but even with current management, mortality is at least 20% at 6 wk. Mortality depends primarily on severity of the associated liver disease rather than on the bleeding itself. Bleeding is often fatal in patients with severe hepatocellular impairment (eg, advanced cirrhosis), whereas patients with good hepatic reserve usually recover.
Surviving patients are at high risk of further variceal bleeding; typically, 50 to 75% have recurrence within 1 to 2 yr. Ongoing endoscopic or drug therapy significantly lowers this risk, but the overall effect on long-term mortality seems to be marginal, probably because of the underlying hepatic disease.
Fluid resuscitation, including transfusion as needed, is done to manage hypovolemia and hemorrhagic shock. Patients with coagulation abnormalities (eg, significantly elevated INR) can be treated with 1 to 2 units of fresh frozen plasma, but this should be given cautiously because giving large volumes of fluid to patients who are not hypovolemic may actually promote bleeding from varices. Patients with known cirrhosis with GI bleeding are at risk of bacterial infection and should receive antibiotic prophylaxis with norfloxacin or ceftriaxone.
Because varices are invariably diagnosed during endoscopy, primary treatment is endoscopic. Endoscopic banding of varices is preferred over injection sclerotherapy. At the same time, IV octreotide (a synthetic analog of somatostatin, which may also be used) should be given. Octreotide increases splanchnic vascular resistance by inhibiting the release of splanchnic vasodilator hormones (eg, glucagon, vasoactive intestinal peptide). The usual dose is a 50-μg IV bolus, followed by infusion of 50 μg/h. Octreotide is preferred over previously used agents such as vasopressin and terlipressin, because it has fewer adverse effects.
If bleeding continues or recurs despite these measures, emergency techniques to shunt blood from the portal system to the vena cava can lower portal pressure and diminish bleeding. A TIPS procedure is the emergency intervention of choice. TIPS is an invasive radiologic procedure in which a guidewire is passed from the vena cava through the liver parenchyma into the portal circulation. The resultant passage is dilated by a balloon catheter, and a metallic stent is inserted, creating a bypass between the portal and hepatic venous circulations. Stent size is crucial. If the stent is too large, portal-systemic encephalopathy results because of diversion of too much portal blood flow from the liver. If the stent is too small, it is more likely to occlude. Surgical portacaval shunts, such as the distal spleno-renal shunt, work by a similar mechanism but are more invasive and have a higher immediate mortality.
Mechanical compression of bleeding varices with a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube or one of its variants causes considerable morbidity and should not be used as primary management. However, such a tube may provide life-saving tamponade pending decompression with a TIPS or surgical procedure. The tube is a flexible NGT with one gastric balloon and one esophageal balloon. After insertion, the gastric balloon is inflated with a fixed volume of air, and traction is applied to the tube to pull the balloon snugly against the gastroesophageal junction. This balloon is often sufficient to control bleeding, but if not, the esophageal balloon is inflated to a pressure of 25 mm Hg. The procedure is quite uncomfortable and may result in esophageal perforation and aspiration; thus, endotracheal intubation and IV sedation are often recommended.
Liver transplantation can also decompress the portal system but is a practical option only for patients already on a transplant list.
Long-term medical therapy of portal hypertension (with β-blockers and nitrates) is discussed elsewhere (see Treatment). Treatment of portosystemic encephalopathy may be needed.
Key Points
Varices are the main but not the only cause of GI bleeding in patients with cirrhosis.
The severity of the underlying liver disease is a major determinant of mortality of a bleeding episode.
Endoscopy is done for diagnosis and treatment; banding or sclerotherapy can be used.
Recurrence rate is 50 to 75% within 1 to 2 yr.

I was very surprised when I finally got around to reading Tom Jones: it is a very amusing and enjoyable novel, not at all a Mark Twain classic (which is a novel you enjoy saying you have read more than you enjoy actually reading). I read it one brief chapter at a time each night during a phase of my life when I suffered from insomnia, and it did not put me to sleep. (For that, I recommend reports of scientific investigations, which even when they are interesting require a lot of mental exertion.) A warning though: Fielding's eighteenth century morality is definitive not Victorian or politically correct by today's standards. It is both too promiscuous for the Victorians and too patriarchal for today's feminist. It has a little bit of the zanyness of Tristam Shandy, but it is not that confusing.
As an English major, I did not take a course that covered the history of the novel. I had read a number of nineteenth century novels (Austen, Dickens, Thackery, Hawthorne, Twain, etc.), and early twentieth century novels (Joyce, Woolf, Conrad, Joseph Roth, Dos Passos, etc.), but I had not had to dip into the eighteenth century novel. So I naively believed that the avant-garde techniques of breaking the fourth wall and addressing the reader was a twentieth century phenomenon. How wrong I was. Each of the many books into which the novel is divided begins with an essay to the reader. These essays might meditate on the nature of fiction, or the class of society which breeds the best novelist, or some other thoughts about existence.
The plot of the novel follows the strange career of an orphan, Tom Jones, who is remarkably well-endowed in looks, in temperment, and perhaps in other ways. He is raised by a wealthy country gentleman. The gentleman's nephew and apparently sole heir is Tom's nefarious opposite, and is out to try to ruin Tom at every turn. Meanwhile, many of the women in the book stalk Tom, and the ending is a thrilling race between his rescuer and those leading him to the gallows. Fielding clearly has fun with the cultural and philosophical currents of his era. It is justifiably considered one of the great novels of English literature. And it's actually fun.
Applying Evolutionary Literary Criticism
Because I have been reading evolutionary literary criticism (ELC), it has occurred to me that I should be trying to apply it at every turn. So here is my attempt with this text.
Evolutionary Literary Criticism Explanation Boilerplate
For theory, I will be drawing primarily on the collection "The Literary Animal" (abbreviated below as TLA) edited by Gottschall, and Gottschall's own book, "The Storytelling Animal" (TSA). One problem with offering an evolutionary interpretation of the text is that there are three different versions of evolutionary literary criticism (ELC). The first (ELC1) simply observes that humans are fascinated by stories featuring survival, social status, and mating themes (boy loses girl, maiden guarded by dragon, boy hangs from cliff, etc.). In TLA, this line is promoted by McEwan, Nettle, Carroll, Nordlund, Fox, Gottschall himself, Kruger, and Salmon.
The second version (ELC2) is to emphasize that storytelling itself is an adaptation, and that humans are wired to enjoy and transmit stories. In TLA, this position is presented by Boyd and Sugiyama, and it is the thesis of Gottschall's own book, TSA. ELC2 also allows one to explore the degree to which the author intentionally (or perhaps unintentionally) tries to conform to or challenge the expectations of a genre. In other words, how good of a job did the author do telling the tale, and how was it received by the readers or listeners?
The third version (ELC3) is that stories have been a method of storing cultural information throughout human history, and as such, they preserve cultural entities and allow for cultural evolution. Stories here include religious texts and political histories. This position is argued by David Sloan Wilson's essay in TLA and by Gottschall in TSA to a limited degree. Wilson's position is partially related to version one, in that he says that human nature is not infinitely flexible, and texts that stray too far from evolutionarily interesting themes will fail to be embraced and retold. But Wilson's position also allows for a sort of historicism or ideological critique, in which the subtext of a narrative or of its reception might be to support the current cultural status quo or to advocate for a different cultural state. So the cultural meaning of a text might be quite different from what the author had in mind when it was written. Culturally powerful elements may promote a story that justifies their own hegemony.
ELC3 should also encompass the use of a storytelling tradition to indicate group membership. Knowledge of a canon of stories, or the proper form of a storytelling genre, can act as the sign of worthiness for membership as much as any other demonstration of mastery of a behavior or belief system. Reading Joyce's Ulysses may not keep you riveted at the edge of your seat turning the pages (ELC2), and it may not recount the harrowing adventures of survival or the boy getting the girl (ELC1), but having read the book might indicate the membership of the reader within a social class. It indicates both the ability to perform the task and the value system of the group. To be knowledgable about the details of a large canon of stories, whether it is Proust's In Search of Lost Time or the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you must first have the ability and free time to learn those details, and you must also have the inner motivation to learn them, a motivation often achieved by belonging to a group that considers them worth knowing. Establishing one's worthiness for membership in any group potentially allows one to share in the tangible benefits of the group (resources, social hierarchy, etc.), whether or not one is consciously aware of such benefits. For example, the shipwrecked Odysseus was treated as noble because he demonstrated mastery of a particular behavior—an aristocratic form of address.
Fielding via ELC1
For an evolutionary literary criticism viewpoint, the sexual dynamics are fairly straightforward to lay out. In Tom's society, powerful men could sire children with women among the working poor on their estates without too much stigma against them when it comes to marriage and respectability, though that system is being contested. Tom's rival, the nephew of the landowner, is trying to ensure his own financial legacy at Tom's expense. The nephew has legitimate worries: in the society of that age, Tom might have been the gentleman's real but illegitimate son. The head of the household may divert resources to illegitimate children. And indeed, at the end of the book, Tom in fact has some noble blood and would have been in line to inherit a share of his adoptive father's estate had his rival allowed the knowledge of Tom's birth to be public.
In that era, if you were part of polite society, your likelihood of starving or going childless was much less than if you were part of the unwashed peasantry, and because high-status property owning males could impose themselves sexually on lower class women on their estates, lower class males where in an even more precarious position from the reproductive point of view. Even if Tom is not given money, he is given social capital in the form of a good education and the refinements of polite society.
Tom's true love will have to look past all the women he has incidentally shagged if she wants to marry him. But many upper class women of that era did have to look past the mistresses and illegitimate children. It was against this promiscuous exercise of social power that Victoria's Prince Albert campaigned in British society. But it is an exercise of power that David Buss and other evolutionary psychologists could predict. Within Tom Jones, there is a dialectic between the cultural influences of strict Christianity and classical virtue, all of which is played out within the context of 18th century English society in which landowners could abuse others sexually.
Many stories told in human society highlight cases when the person of low birth has the courage and decency to be a leader in the society. The story often revolves around whether or not that worthy person manages to break out of the social class of birth. This is certainly the theme of Tom Jones. Unlike the novels of a later, wealthier society, Tom Jones portrays a society where ill-fortune could have immediate catastrophic effects on one's reproductive success.
Fielding via ELC2
I do not believe that Fielding used as a theme within his spacious novel the human need for story and the human predisposition to turn experience into a coherent narrative. But he does play with our desire for a good read. Fielding does not assume that the reader has a long attention span: the chapters are short, and the author will at frequent intervals break the narrative thread to comment on it. Peppered within the book are meditations on the nature of the art of the novel. Fielding does not take the desire for narrative form to the breaking point, the way Tristram Shandy does, but he does enjoy messing with his readers and teasing them.
As for the quality of the novel within the context of its genre, Fielding was writing in the early days of the novel. He assumed that many of his readers were familiar with classical epics. The fight between two peasant women in the churchyard over hand-me-down clothes is told in an heroic style that can be best appreciated if the reader is familiar with such epics as the Illiad. His writing is lively. For some writers, such as Joyce, the reader needs to be slightly masochistic to suffer until understanding is achieved. There is no such requirement for Fielding's magnum opus.
Fielding via ELC3
With regard to social context and subtext of Tom Jones, nothing could be clearer than Fielding's position. Another contemporary novelist was Richardson, with his novel Pamela. That novel told the tale of an educated but poor woman working in an upper class household. The master of the house wants her to be his mistress, but she holds onto her honor and insists on marriage if there is to be a physical relationship. A growing segment of the reading public was women in the same situation, and Pamela had a large readership. Fielding rejected the values argued in Pamela and even wrote a parody of it called Shamela. He thought lower class women holding out for marriage was an inappropriate way for them to try to climb the social hierarchy, hoping upper class men would get desparate enough to confer upon them a higher status.
Tom Jones, in contrast, supports and validates the patriarchal status of the landed gentry. Tom proves himself to be worthy by in the end understanding the balance between competing versions of the Good within his society. At the end of the novel, Tom could have sought revenge on his enemy by having him put to death, but Tom displays a generous and forgiving nature that is wise and worthy of nobility. I have read that in the early 20th century, some Marxist critics tried to revive the status of this novel on the grounds that Tom is of low birth and triumphs over an upper class rival. But in the end, it turns out that Tom was a legitimate heir to the estate, and that he steps into the patriarchal system without overthrowing it. So that revival attempt failed.
Finally, there is the ELC3 question: does a knowledge of this story confer membership within a social class in modern society? IMHO, no. The social class that would have found it supportive and enlightening is long gone. Male fox-hunting landowners with a classical education are pretty thin segment in today's society. The text survives today because of its nature as a signpost: it is exemplary of its literary era, and it is a good read. Historians can use it as a window into the value system of a very different era, but its value system is no more appreciated today than it would have been by the Victorians, who would have embraced the morals of Pamela.

Neil Lennon revelled in festive cheer after Joe Ledley's second-half goal gave Celtic victory over Rangers at Parkhead and took them two points clear of their Old Firm rivals at the top of the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.
Ledley headed home Charlie Mulgrew's 52nd-minute corner to secure Celtic's ninth SPL win in a row. The triumph confirmed their turnaround in fortunes since November 5, when they were 15 points behind the champions, albeit with two games in hand.
Hoops boss Lennon said: "It has been the best Christmas and New Year that I have had. Obviously it was difficult to enjoy because we knew the game was looming, I'm glad it's over. I'm delighted we have won and it was another good performance and really consistent form we have shown."

Companies may get tax benefits for their expenditure on corporate social responsibility. Corporate affairs minister Sachin Pilot, who met leaders of corporate India on Tuesday, said that he would take up the issue with the finance ministry.
"This is one issue that came up in the meeting and I intend taking it up with the finance ministry," Pilot said.
Under the new Companies Bill, pending in Parliament, profitable companies would be mandated to spend 2% or more of their profits on CSR activities.
Companies would also have to present elaborate and separate audit reports for their CSR programmes to ensure greater transparency and disclosure. Companies that fail to spend on CSR without extending any explanation would be
"In case the companies do not spend, they would also need to explain why they have not been able to spend on CSR," Pilot said, adding that non reporting and non compliance would attract Section 134 of the Companies Act which means that the company can be punishable with fine of not less than Rs.25, which could even extend to Rs.25 lakh, but, more importantly, every officer who defaults would be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years.
The minister also said that CSR activities would need to be project driven. At present, companies are only required to make a mention of their CSR activities and the quantum of money that is being directed towards it. There is no separate audit for CSR.

Isn't it nice to know that even a popular pornstar like Eufrat likes to wear some funky clothes and have fun? Of course, being Eufrat the 'fun' isn't what most girls do for laughs. I really liked this gallery simply because she obviously really is having fun. This is just one example of the photos and videos featuring Eufrat at 18Onlygirl.com
Eufrat starts off in her brightly coloured coveralls and a crop top T shirt. She pulls the pants down at the side to show that she is wearing panties before pulling her shirt over her head to reveal her wonderfully soft, full breasts. Looking at her hard nipples is she cold, or is she excited?
Eufrat sits down to get her pants off, giving us a great look at her big tits. Standing up she slides her cotton panties down to expose her pussy trimmed with a landing strip.
Turning around to flash her nice ass, Eufrat sits down again. She leans forward showing her full breasts with their dark nipples off before smiling as she spreads her legs wide open. Looking at her wet pussy I think her hard nipples might be excitement rather than cold.
Once naked playful pornstar Eufrat shows that yes, it was excitement as she starts to play with her wet pussy, if you want to watch her masturbate head over to see Eufrat at 18Onlygirl.com. They have the rest of this scene plus some masturbation with toys, and some sizzling lesbian sex scenes.

Fishing piers are a sacred thing to saltwater anglers, and Brunswick County is blessed to still have them in operation.
Elsewhere on the coast, the piers are disappearing, but here there is still a chance for folks to cast off the planks and maybe fill up a cooler. Many people came to the sport as kids on an ocean pier, and even if you like to take a big boat out to the bluewater these days, it is always nice to get back to your roots.

Area Dean for Applied Mathematics
Research Interests
Biological - Our interests in biology are recent, and as a consequence somewhat desultory. A basic question is to understand "how things work" which leads naturally to physiology. We believe that a practical approach requires a comparative study of extremes in biology and offers many beautiful examples of the interconversion of matter, energy and information in non-equilibrium systems. Much recent activity in the field focuses on information: however, our own interests are at one natural interface between physical and biological systems that arises in the context of collective biophysical and biomechanical behavior over a range of scales, from O(nm) to a O(cm). Almost all our work in biology involves both theory and experiments, with the latter done both in our own lab and elsewhere through close collaboration.
Physical - The behavior of matter at the mesoscopic/macroscopic scale is a theme of central interest, particularly in understanding how matter is shaped and how it flows. This leads naturally to questions of the organization and self-organization of matter in space and time as manifest in the rich range of patterns that surround us, from the ripples seen on the surface of a moving liquid to the dynamics of drapery, from the settling of yogurt under its weight to the cracking of drying mud, from the mechanics of plate subduction to the flow of sand on a beach. We use a combination of experiential, experimental, analytical and computational approaches to study these sometimes frivolous and sometimes serious (the difference is often not clear a priori !) questions with the aim (although it is only rarely realized!) of stripping the complexity of the underlying phenomenon to its minimal essence. Indeed a goal is thus get at a qualitative understanding using quantitative methods.

Hercules Optometric Group
We are an optometry practice: eye examinations, eye healthcare, contact lenses and glasses.
We target a demographic ranging from educated professionals to families w/ kids. We would like our logo to communicate professionalism, precision, and clarity appropriate for a healthcare office, but also a bit clever and fun.
We like this logo: http://cias.rit.edu/~mak9845/wordpr…own_id.jpg
for the simple graphical elements and clean look.
we like a lot of stuff seen on grainedit.com. We like Monocle magazine. We like the font Futura.
We want the design to be clean and timeless: no gradients, no shadows. The design does not HAVE to include glasses or eyes, and I think we might prefer a more abstract representation of these if present.
For the company name, I think it would look good to have two lines: the top line, in larger print says Hercules; the bottom line, in smaller print says Optometric Group, with the length matching the top line.
It might be fun to explore a stylized Hercules character wearing glasses, in reference to our town's namesake.

Apollo 6 Cinemas
King Street,
1 person favorited this theater
Located in the Egremont district of Wallasey, Cheshire. The Gaumont Palace was built in a quiet corner of town, away from the main centre. It replaced the earlier Lyceum Electric Palace Cinema (1910-1931) which had been destroyed by fire.
It was opened on 13th November 1933. Seating arrangements for the new Gaumont Palace was designed on a stadium plan, with a raised section at the rear instead of an overhanging circle. The auditorium walls were lined with silk tapestry and lighting was via a series of lamps hung from decorative poles attached at an angle to the walls and a series Art Deco style lay-lights in the ceiling.
It was taken over by Classic Cinemas from 12th December 1967 and re-named Classic Cinema. Bingo was tried briefly in 1969, but films returned and in September 1974 it was taken over by Unit Four Cinemas who divided the auditorium into four screens in 1975. In 1979 two additional screens were installed by dividing what had been the rear raised section into three screens. Taken over by Apollo Leisure it was re-named Apollo 6 Cinemas and these continued to operate until closure came in 2000. The building was left empty until 2005 when it was demolished and a block of flats built on the site.
It was a forgotten beautiful building even at the end but the developers got hold of it. It still had a lot of its original features on its exterior and apparently some remaining inside when it was converted to 6 screens, as a shell was put into the building. The decorative stone carved panels on the front of the building by artist Frank Barnes were saved intact from the demolishers.

In 2013, Indiana lawmakers sent a clear signal that encourages on-time college completion through student financial aid incentives and annual credit completion expectations, because students who complete at least 30 credit hours per year have the best chance to graduate on time.
Students who receive state financial aid for the first time during the 2013-2014 academic year or thereafter will be required to meet certain completion requirements to renew state financial aid awards in subsequent years. This includes students who first started school prior to July 1, 2013 but received their first state awards after that date. Students receiving the Frank O'Bannon Grant, 21st Century Scholarship and Adult Student Grant are subject to credit completion requirements.
PLEASE NOTE: The number of remedial credits that will be counted toward the credit completion requirements will be limited to 12, and the remedial credits must be earned during the student's first academic year.
Students who fail to meet the credit completion requirements due to extenuating circumstances may file an appeal.
To renew a base Frank O'Bannon Grant (administered as the Higher Education Award or the Freedom of Choice Award), a student must complete at least 24 credit hours or the equivalent by the end of the first aid year, 48 or the equivalent by the end of the second aid year and 72 or the equivalent by the end of the third year. Students may earn additional financial aid incentives for academic performance including completion of at least 30/60/90 credit hours or the equivalent by the end of the first/second/third year in college, maintaining a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0, earning an associate degree before enrolling in a bachelor degree program or completing at least 39/78 or the equivalent credit hours by the end of the first/second year in college.
21st CENTURY SCHOLARSHIP
To renew a 21st Century Scholarship, a student must complete at least 30 credit hours or the equivalent by the end of the first aid year, 60 or the equivalent by the end of the second aid year and 90 or the equivalent by the end of the third aid year. If a student fails to complete 30/60/90 credit hours or the equivalent but does complete 24/48/72 or the equivalent within the appropriate timeframe, the student may be awarded a Frank O'Bannon Grant (see above) instead of the 21st Century Scholarship.
To renew an Adult Student Grant, a student must complete at least eighteen (18) credit hours or their equivalent in the previous academic year and maintain satisfactory academic progress as defined by your institution.

It's not a major character, or a very popular one-- but it's a nice figure! The Neimoidian Warrior has a huge gun and an action feature, plus a removable helmet and good articulation. Should you buy a few? Maybe! Read on!
It's Barriss Offee! The Jedi hasn't received a new figure in years, but now we got two of her in a few months. How about that! This animated version is pretty slick, plus includes Geonosian Brain Worms. Should you track her down, now that she's showing up in stores? Read on!
The summer kicks off with a new print ad from Hasbro featuring the bounty hunter, Zam Wessel, and the Attack of the Clones wave in their retro vintage carded glory. Enjoy!
One of the most likable critters from Jabba's Palace is the cackling puppet Salacious Crumb. He's a jerk. What's not to love? The 2010 release was a repaint of the 2007 release, hardly essential were it not for the fact it came with a new Jabba and Oola. So how is he different? Read on!
It's the Evo Trooper, repainted and camo'd up for 2010! This figure was a Toys R Us exclusive and now... well, maybe you got one. If not, it's probably not there any more. Is this repaint worth it? Read on!
It's not superbly common that we get a character like Anakin Skywalker in a disguise like this Naboo Pilot uniform without a regular Naboo Pilot coming out first-- but hey, here we are! It's a neat figure with a neat ship. Are you excited? Should you be? Read on!
If you've been enjoying Hasbro's Kenner-style Special Action Figure Set 3-packs at Target, the guys at LightGeschindigKeit.de have fully-packaged shots of more of them-- with no new figures and a few decent repacks. As always, figures are from Star Wars and Empire. Read on!
Some like it Hoth, like this Rebel Trooper variant from last year! It's a Target exclusive, and pretty slick. It's similar to the 2009 carded release, save for the hair color. Should you get it? Read on!
Last year when Hasbro released the Spacetrooper, it had shoulder pads, a jetpack, and a droid bit. The droid bit is gone, and now that he's shipping from Hasbro in Saga Legends packaging, he's got a new (to him) gun. (The ammo thing isn't on the side like a Stormtrooper gun, rather it appears similar to a redeco of Wioslea's weapon.) Click through for bigger pics.
If you love Tusken Raider figures, Hasbro decided to do you a solid by releasing a "red clan" in early 2007 so you can add a little something new and different to your collection. I like this idea. So how did the "vintage" molded figure turn out? Read on!
This Shadow Trooper is supposed to be a Clone in bounty hunter disguise. Not a very good one, as it looks pretty much like the Shadow Troopers of Utapau. It's neat though-- as German exclusives that got dumped online go, it's nice enough. Read on!

Security-In-Depth Using Integrated Risk-Conscious Controls
Most organizations take a perimeter-centric approach to security, assuming most attacks come from outside the organization. Yet there's no longer a clear boundary between what's inside or outside the organization, and attackers range from unhappy employees to well-funded, state-sponsored hackers. Organizations need a new approach to IT security.

One of the things that most attracted me to this bike is the handlebars. They're Easton EA30, 31.8 size, multi-shaped. The oversized diameter permits the bars to be ovalized in ways that greatly add to the comfort. It may look as if this is about aerodynamics, but it's really about the comfort. The upper section of the bar is flattened out so as to provide a considerably greater surface contact area with the rider's hands. This greatly reduces the pressure on the hands, makes a big difference in hand/wrist comfort.

The hack was released in the form of NYTClean, a bookmarklet easily added to web browsers."
It's likely that the paywall is deliberately porous; as paywalls go, it's a approximately unrestrictive one. Readers referred from search or other sites are unlikely to notice a difference. Workarounds at least keep readers on their site.

- - Kelly Marks...?
Kelly Marks...? Has anybody ever heard of Kelly Marks? I found a book on my shelf by her called Teach Your Horse Perfect Manners. I have no idea where it came from! I've been skipping around in it to see what it's all about and I like some of her techniques. I'm just curious to see if anybody else knows of her and what their opinion is of her. Thanks! |
Hi, i'm from the UK and she is popular in natural horsemanship here. She works with Monty Roberts and uses very similar principles. I went to a 2 day workshop that she put on and was impressed in some ways but there was quite a bit of contradiction. Maybe it was just human ? Have you read any books called Ride with your mind by Mary Winless/winlass? She is extremely good! I was extremely impressed. Take care, Michele |
I've heard of Monty Roberts, but I don't know anything about his training. I noticed a couple of the methods in Kelly's book didn't make much sense to me, but maybe it was just me. A few of them made sense though. Then again, I haven't read the whole book. Just bits and pieces. I've never heard of Mary Winless. I'll have to look her up! I'm guessing she's from the UK as well? I'm from the US, so that's probably why I haven't heard of her. I noticed that this is your first post, also! Welcome! :] |

Looks Can be Deceiving for One Brighton Building
It might look like your typical quiet, old school building on the outside, but there's a lot going on inside the former Brookside School in Brighton. For three decades starting in the 1950′s, Brookside was a school for grades K-8, and many former students have fond memories of their time there. Several even started a Facebook page for Brookside School Alumni.
But since it closed in the 1980′s, Brookside has been home to the town's recreation department, which was originally located in a small house next to the Town Hall. Over the years since, the recreation department has grown, and last year alone, it hosted over 250 different programs for more than 3,600 participants!
This past Friday, dozens of people came out for the town's annual school break party WinterFest, although I'm sure the crowd would've been much bigger if not for a winter storm that kept many people at home. Kind of ironic, don't you think? Anyway, it was a fun time with a bounce house, face painting, snacks, crafts, and a wonderful performance by children's musicians The Boomerang Club and their famous toilet paper throwers! As usual, they did not disappoint. I would highly recommend them for any kids party. I truly wish more people had come out to enjoy this free event, especially since the town doesn't do a ton a these festivals, and the staff obviously put in a lot of hard work.
But Brighton Rec offers a lot more than WinterFest. In fact, there are offerings year round for people of all ages and interests from fishing derbies and dance, to yoga, and even dog obedience classes.
My family has participated in a number of programs, including youth art classes, sports, and the summer playground camps. My daughter and I recently wrapped up Open Gym, a free-play type of class that was held weekly for kids ages 1-4.
Brookside is also the home to the Montissori School of Rochester, as well as the town's Senior Center, which offers weekly lunches, programs, classes, and special events for more than 300 seniors.
So the next time you drive by this old school building, you'll know…it may not be a Brighton School anymore, but there's still a lot of learning going on inside.

Contestability and the indeterminacy of free entry equilibria
A general notion of market perfect contestability is introduced. It coincides with the definition given by Baumol et al. under Bertrand competition, but is compatible with other forms of competition : Cournot competition as well as monopolistic competition. Using this notion, we illustrate the fact that the number of active firms in free entry equilibrium may be largely indeterminate and different levels of positive profits may in many cases be sustained. This is shown to be true, in spite of market perfect contestability, either under Cournot competition or under product differentiation. Examples are given for both cases. Appropriate conditions of increasing returns are required.

Camera information display and settings
As is has no dedicated control panel LCD the D60 uses the main LCD monitor for camera information display and the change of settings. As mentioned earlier this is now displayed as soon as you turn the camera on (turning off again to preserve power after a user-definable period of inactivity). The new eye sensor is used to turn the display off as soon as you look through the viewfinder and you can wake it from 'sleep' by pressing any button or with a light tap of the shutter release. This may all only be a small change over the D40X, but it's a very welcome one and one that makes using the camera manually a lot less frustrating.
Information display format
Via the Setup menu you can select the information display format for Auto / Vari-program modes and the P, A, S M modes separately. There are three formats to choose from; Graphic, Classic and Wallpaper, the later of which allows you to pick your own image as a wallpaper (very 'mobile phone'). The information shown on these displays has already been detailed earlier in this review so I won't repeat myself, sufficient to say that the information display provides an overview of pretty much all camera settings.
Graphic display format (default) | Classic display format |
Wallpaper display format |
Color options
Just in case the three views above didn't give you enough choice with the D60 you can now also change the overall color scheme in either display mode.
Shutter / aperture graphics / meter
You will already have spotted the graphic representation of shutter speed (the segmented line around the aperture) and the aperture on the 'Graphic display format'. Below is an example of what you see as shutter speed and aperture change. On the right below the digital meter appears in manual mode to indicate how close the selected exposure is to the metered exposure.
Changing settings
Press the 'i' (setting) button to switch to setting mode, here you navigate around the screen using the multi-selector (4 way controller) and press OK to change a setting. Nikon have fully realized the advantages of changing settings on screen by combining the setting change with either an indication of the effect of change or help in choosing the correct option. For example when changing image quality you get to see the estimated file size and remaining frames, when changing white balance example scenes are shown where that white balance may be appropriate.
Navigating the information display, press OK to change the highlighted setting | Changing exposure compensation shows the approximate 'effect' of the adjustment |
Changing ISO shows examples of the kinds of shots suitable for use with each setting. | Changing image quality displays the estimated file size and frames remaining |
Help is available throughout the camera interface, either in shooting mode, setting adjustment or menus, simply press and hold the help '?' button. Note that in shooting mode the '?' icon may occasionally blink, this essentially means that the camera has some advice for you and pressing the help button will display this (as shown below, left).
Pressing the help button in menus when the '?' icon is shown brings up the help screen. | An example of help available by holding the '?' button when using the info screen to change settings. |
Sometimes you'll see the '?' icon flashing; pressing the help button in this case brings up a 'warning' |
White Balance Adjust
One of the new features on the D60 is a graphical white balance adjustment (as seen on some of Nikon's high end models). This offers two axes of adjustment (A-B and G-M), each with 12 steps. |

Originally posted on October 28, 2009 at The Savage Critic(s).
Years ago I came across an eye-opening quote from Jaron Lanier in the liner notes of the reissued Gary Numan album The Pleasure Principle. Google reveals that it was pulled from this Wired essay. Here's what it said:
"Style used to be, in part, a record of the technological limitations of the media of each period. The sound of The Beatles was the sound of what you could do if you pushed a '60s-era recording studio absolutely as far as it could go. Artists long for limitations; excessive freedom casts us into a vacuum. We are vulnerable to becoming jittery and aimless, like children with nothing to do. That is why narrow simulations of 'vintage' music synthesizers are hotter right now than more flexible and powerful machines. Digital artists also face constraints in their tools, of course, but often these constraints are so distant, scattered, and rapidly changing that they can't be pushed against in a sustained way."
Lanier wrote that in 1997. I'm actually not sure which vintage-synth resurgence he was talking about, unless you count the Rentals or something (although everyone and their grandfather was namechecking Gary Numan back then, which was sort of the point of including the quote in the liner notes. Maybe he meant Boards of Canada?).
But golly, it sure seems prescient now, huh? Here we are, in the post-electroclash, post-Neptunes, post-DFA era. The hot indie-rock microgenre is glo-fi, which sounds like playing a cassette of your favorite shiny happy pop song when you were three years old after it's sat in the sun-cooked tape deck of your mom's Buick for about 20 years. And my single favorite musical moment of last year, as harrowing as those songs are soothing, was the part of the universally acclaimed Portishead comeback album that sounded exactly like something from a John Carpenter film score. (It's at the 3:51 mark. It's awesome, isn't it?)
And that's just on the music end. Visually? Take a look at Heavy Light, a show at the Deitch Gallery this summer featuring a murderers' row of video artist specializing in primary-color overload and technique that doesn't just accentuate but revels in its own limitations. Foremost among them, at least for us comics folks, is Ben Jones, member of the hugely influential underground collective Paper Rad and recent reinterpreter of the massively mainstream The Simpsons and Where the Wild Things Are. But the ones with the widest cultural import at the moment are Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim of the astonishingly funny and bizarre Adult Swim series Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!. Their color palette is garish, their digital manipulations are knowingly crude, and their analog experiments are even more so. When they combine the three, god help us all. And let's not forget Wareheim's unforgettable, magisterially NSFW collaboration with fellow Heavy Light contributor and Gary Panter collaborator Devin Flynn.
Yeah, most of these guys are playing it either for laughs or for sheer mind-melting overload, but I think there's frequently beauty in there to rival what some of the musicians are doing. (Click again on that first Ben Jones link.) And (thank you Internet God) this amazing video by Peppermelon shows that you can do action, awe, even sensuality with this aesthetic. The rawness, the brightness, the willingness to let the seams show–it all gives you something to push against again.
When I've written about The Dark Knight Strikes Again I've been fond of saying it was years ahead of its time. Sometime in the past week and a half or so, there was a day when I listened to Washed Out, then stumbled across that Deitch show link in an old bookmark, then watched an episode of Tim & Eric, then came across that Ben Jones WTWTA strip–and suddenly I realized I was right! Not that it matters–at all–whether or not Miller and Varley have any real continuity with any of this material. They certainly didn't get there before Paper Rad, unless I'm wildly mistaken. But then half the fun of DKSA is spotting all the stuff Miller does, from naked newscasters to superheroes ruling the earth rather than just guarding it, seemingly without realizing someone's done it first. What difference would that make? Meanwhile, in all the off-the-beaten-path references Frank Santoro has cited during the production of his Ben Jones collaboration Cold Heat–essentially a glo-fi comic book–I haven't heard word one about this book. But I'm not saying Miller & Varley paved the way for anything. I'm saying that when Miller abandoned his chops (and, for the most part, backgrounds!) for the down and dirty styles he (thought he) saw at SPX, and when Varley decided to use photoshop to call attention to itself rather than to create a simulacrum of something else, they were using the same tools, tapping the same vein, seeking the same sense of excitement, discovery, and trailblazing as these newer movements.
I've also been fond of likening DKSA to proto-punk, taking a cue from Tony Millionaire's jacket-wrap blurb: "Miller has done for comics what the Ramones et al have done for music. This book looks like it was done by a guy with a pen and his girlfriend on an iMac." The idea is that it's raw, it's loud, it's brash, it doesn't have time for the usual niceties–it's getting comics back to their primal pulp roots. I spoke to Miller several times during and following the release of the book, one time for print, and he said as much. (I certainly never would have bought the cockamamie idea that this thing was some sort of corporate cash-grab even if he'd never said word one.) He even mentioned to me his belief that the brightly colored costumes of the early superheroes served mainly the dual purpose of a) telling them apart from one another, and b) proving they weren't naked, so even his thinking in historical terms had him ready to peel back from realism as a form of reclamation. And of course it's not exactly like the story was at all subtle in this regard: Batman and his army came back to overthrow the dictators that kept us fat and happy and turned the superheroes into boring wimps. But ultimately the punk comparisons were just a little off. Born less of despair than of delight, filled less with anger than with joy, The Dark Knight Strikes Again anticipated a way of doing things that is not intended to look or sound effortless, that draws attention to its own construction, but which–with every pixelization and artifact, with every crayolafied visual and left-in glitch, with every burbly synth and sky-bright color–pushes against that construction and springs out into something wild and wonderful.

بربي جاوبولي على الأسئلة التالية بالأنقليزيّة و أجوبة مبسطة : at what age can one start donating blood?-1- how much bloodcan one give at a time?-2- how often can one donate blood?-3- when are blood collecting campaigns help?-4- who can't giveblood?-5-
Blood Donation What is it? Blood donation is the process of giving blood to be used for blood transfusions. A person who gives blood for this purpose is called a donor. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has strict rules for the collection, processing, storage, and transportation of blood and blood components. These regulations are important because they ensure that infectious diseases are not transmitted during blood transfusions. Blood donation is extremely important because it is the only way to maintain sufficient blood supplies for medical treatment. That's why local hospitals, blood banks, and the American Red Cross sponsor frequent blood drives. Because many people feel more comfortable knowing the source of the blood for a transfusion, many donors are friends or family members of a recipient. This is called a direct donation, and the blood is stored at the hospital for a specific patient's use. How do I prepare for this procedure? All blood donors are carefully screened for conditions that would make them poor candidates for blood donation. If you have hepatitis, AIDS, certain types of cancer, heart disease, severe asthma, malaria, bleeding disorders, low blood pressure, or high blood pressure, you may not donate blood. You also may not donate if you have been exposed to the AIDS virus, are pregnant, have had recent surgery, or are using certain drugs. All these precautions are in place to protect the people who might receive your blood. The process of giving blood, however, is extremely safe. The facility where you donate will use sterile equipment so you cannot catch an infection. You may not give blood more often than once every two months. If you know you will be undergoing surgery, you may want to donate your own blood about a month before your surgery. This is called an autologous transfusion, and the blood you donate is stored at the hospital for your use only. If you need a transfusion during or after surgery, your own blood will be used. How is this procedure performed? Before you donate blood, the healthcare professional will check your blood pressure, temperature, and pulse. You will lie down on a bed or cot, then he or she will tighten a wrapping, called a tourniquet, on your upper arm to increase the pressure on the veins in your arm so they will swell. This makes it easier to identify the larger veins and to insert the needle into the vein. The healthcare professional will clean the area where the needle will be inserted with an antiseptic wash, then insert a large needle into the vein. You will feel a slight sting as the needle goes in, but the rest of the procedure should be painless. The blood flows through a tube into a sterile plastic bag that holds around one pint (450 ml) of blood, also called one unit. People usually donate one unit at a time. The average man has 10 to 12 pints of blood in his body, while the average woman has 8 to 9 pints. A small sample of the blood you donate is put aside for testing for infectious diseases. No blood is used until all test results have shown that it is safe. All donated blood is also classified and labeled by type, either A, B, AB, or O, and as RH-positive or RH-negative. This is because donor blood must be matched to the recipient's blood type. The sterile bags, which contain preservatives and an agent that prevents clotting, are kept refrigerated. Whole blood is usable for 42 days. Donated blood can also be broken down into blood components, which include red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, immunoglobulins, or fresh frozen plasma, which is the liquid part of the blood. Perhaps you are donating blood because someone you know needs a blood component like platelets, which help with blood clotting. A special instrument can be used to separate your blood into components, keep the platelets, then pump the remaining components back into your body. This procedure is called apheresis. What can I expect after the procedure? Some patients may feel light-headed when they first stand up after donating blood. You will be given juice to drink and ******s or crackers to eat to begin replacing fluids and increase your blood sugar levels. You will be told to drink plenty of liquids to replace lost fluids and to avoid strenuous activity for the remainder of the day. You may feel a little sore around the area where the needle was inserted, and their is a slight chance of infection in that area if it wasn't well cleaned before the needle was inserted. Your blood volume will return to normal within hours after donating blood if you follow the guidelines for drinking liquids. It takes several weeks, however, to replace donated blood cells and platelets أرجوا أن تجد ضالّتك في ما سبق
