This pilot study is aimed at demonstrating the effectiveness of ACTH (H.P. Acthar Gel) on the lipid profile and proteinuria in participants with MN. ACTH or adrenocorticotrophin is a hormone produced by the pituitary gland (a gland at the base of your brain) that is involved in stimulating your adrenal glands to secrete a number of steroid products (e.g. cortisol, aldosterone, corticosterone, and others) that are important in keeping you alive. The drug used in this study has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for routine clinical use in the treatment of patients with proteinuria and patients with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome such as idiopathic MN. However, the most adequate dose to use has not been adequately assessed. This is the reason for conducting this research study.

Looking downright demure, Pippa Middleton appeared in the royal box at Wimbledon Thursday, accompanied by brother James, natty in a blue suit, to watch the match between Serena Williams and Melinda Czink of Hungary.
Pippa, 28, who's been laying low lately (after a faux gun incident in Paris) while working on her forthcoming party-planning book, is a keen tennis fan and member of a prestigious tennis club. She was in the Wimbledon royal box for the first time last year with ex-boyfriend Alex Louden.
While Wimbledon is accustomed to stars in the center court audience, Pippa and James still managed to turn heads when they arrived. She wore a navy-blue cotton Orla Kiely dress, topped by a macrame navy/white knit sweater jacket (about $210 on sale), with navy open-toed wedges and carrying a large white handbag by Ermanno Scervino. The Daily Mail reported she also had on $250 Givenchy sunglasses.
Irish designer Kiely is a favorite of both Pippa and sister Kate Middleton, who married Prince William last year and became Catherine Duchess of Cambridge. But Daily Mail's lifestyle editor, Nicole Mowbray, was not impressed. "This new demure Pippa has been seen several times since the debacle in Paris (in April) where her friend pointed a gun at photographers," Mowbray sniffed in a review.
Like horseracing and polo, tennis is a favored game among the rich and famous and royal of Britain, a group that now includes the Middletons. Mother Carole Middleton was seen in the stands with friends on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Kate's in-laws, Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla Duchess of Cornwall, were the royal stars on Wednesday, watching the action from front and center of the royal box.
Pippa Middleton arrives to Centre Court to watch the Ladies' Singles second round match between Serena Williams of the USA and Melinda Czink of Hungry on day four of the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on June 28, 2012 in London, England.

Via Puck Daddy, the 33-year-old Keller was checked from behind by Stefan Schnyder, sending him into the board head-first. This is exactly what the NHL is trying to prevent when it cracks down on boarding defenseless players, like Patrick Kaleta's hit on Brad Richards this weekend. According a statement from the hospital where Keller is being treated, Advertisement Advertisement "Following a serious injury of the fourth thoracic vertebra, Ronny Keller will be a permanent paraplegic."The local attorney general has opened an investigation, and will reportedly weigh intent, negligence, and whether Schnyder's actions were egregiously outside the boundaries of the sport. (For what it's worth, Keller felt Schnyder on his tail, and turned into the hit, losing his footing at the exact wrong distance from the boards. Sadly, had he just played the puck, he would have been pancaked, but fine.)Schnyder has contacted Keller and expressed his regret both privately and publicly, and is receiving psychological support.

Mascarpone-Swirled Brownies with Nutty Caramel Corn
Since its kitchen is so tiny, La Laiterie at Farmstead restaurant in Providence, Rhode Island, serves only desserts that can be prepared ahead of time. Kate Jennings, the co-owner and pastry chef, doesn't mind, since she'd rather make a pie than a soufflé. Here, her homespun style translates into fudgy brownies laced with mascarpone and served with sweet-salty clusters of peanuts and popcorn.
Slideshow: More Brownie Recipes
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 9
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs, plus 1 large egg yolk
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- Nutty Caramel Corn and vanilla ice cream, for serving
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 325°. Butter and flour a 9-inch-square baking pan. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In a medium saucepan, melt the semisweet and unsweetened chocolate with the butter over low heat. Remove from the heat and whisk in 1 cup of the sugar and 1 tablespoon of the vanilla. Whisk in the whole eggs, one at a time. Whisk the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until the brownie batter is smooth.
In a bowl, whisk the mascarpone with the egg yolk and the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. Pour half of the brownie batter into the baking pan. Dollop half of the mascarpone mixture on top and cover with the remaining batter. Dollop on the remaining mascarpone mixture and swirl the batter a few times with a knife to create a marbled effect.
Bake the brownies for about 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs attached. Let the brownies cool before cutting. Serve with the caramel corn and ice cream.
Make Ahead
The brownies can be refrigerated for 3 days. The caramel corn can be stored in an airtight container for 4 days.

One Sunday afternoon, immediately after church, a man and a woman were discussing a couple who had been members of the congregation for several years. It seemed the two busybodies couldn't wait to share the juicy news with each other. Their conversation went something like this:
"Did you see the beautiful car he drove this morning?" the woman whispered. "I wonder how he can afford that on his salary? And what about her designer dress?"
In his characteristic matter-of-fact tone, the man replied, "I heard he plays the lottery."
The two gossipers concluded that the faithful couple were involved in something, well, illegal. They began to spread lies in the name of "prayer," and before long, a beautiful family had fallen prey to the church's rumor mill. Soon, as with countless other congregants, the loving couple left the church, deeply wounded by so-called saints. No one knew they had simply inherited thousands of dollars from a deceased relative.
A fairy tale? Maybe. But even though this may be a make-believe story, these kinds of ungodly conversations do occur across the country at about the same hour each Sunday. And the underlying message is true: Gossip is a deadly poison that affects a person's life, work, marriage and spiritual relationships.
Why do people gossip? Jesus answers this question: "'But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts.'" (Matt. 15:18-19, NKJV).
Many of us treat gossip as a simple little sin. Some of us even think there is nothing wrong with it. Compared with adultery and murder, how bad can gossip be? we think. We assume that unless we are saying something outrageous, it doesn't matter. We fail to realize that even a suggestion of impropriety is more than enough to get the gossip train rolling.
Do you remember the game you played as a child where you whispered something in another person's ear and the message went around in a circle until it came back to you? If you have played this game, then you know that once in motion, rumors rarely get better, they only get worse.
Gossip is a character assassinator--a lethal weapon. It kills a precious part of other human beings--usually a piece of their spirits and self-esteem.
No matter how we feel about gossip--whether we recognize it for what it is or if we consider it harmless--God's Word is clear. The Bible is filled with warnings about our tongues.
Psalm 34:12-15 teaches that if we want to live long, good lives, we are to watch our tongues and not tell lies. Psalm 101:5 makes an even bolder statement: "Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy; the one who has a haughty look and a proud heart, him I will not endure." Proverbs 12:18 tells us about the power of words: "There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise promotes health."
So how can you tell if you are gossiping or just passing on genuine information? How can you judge your conversation?
The book of James is an excellent place to seek help. We can avoid gossip by following a few simple guidelines: "But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace" (James 3:17-18).
Does your conversation meet the above criteria? Is it pure, peaceable and gentle? Is it full of mercy and good fruits? If we follow James' example, we need not worry about hurting others with our words.
As believers, we must choose to speak blessings rather than curses. The Word reminds us that life and death are in the power of the tongue (see Prov. 18:21).
So the next time you see a couple with a mysterious new car and designer clothes, don't gossip with your friends about them. Bless them with your words.

Ice prepare for playoffs
For the first time in two years, the Kootenay Ice won't be facing the Edmonton Oil Kings in the first round of the WHL playoffs.
Instead, the team drew the Calgary Hitmen once all the dust settled from the final results of the last weekend of regular season action.
Kootenay ended their campaign with a first-round preview in a home and home series with the Calgary Hitmen that resulted in a pair of losses.
The two teams ended the season series at an even record—Kootenay with four wins and two losses in regulation, while Calgary came out ahead with an overtime and a shootout win.
Though the final four games didn't go in Kootenay's favour on the scoresheet, head coach Ryan McGill isn't worrying about the past heading into the post-season.
"I'm not concerned one bit about the losses," said McGill. "We went through some injuries, we've gone through some tough times mentally, and we had some scheduling and travelling issues those last two weeks.
"I think the guys are rested, the playoffs is a new slate, we've had some time off, we've had some good video sessions and we've had some practices with some good teaching.
"I think rest and recovery has been the most important thing for our group."
Kootenay finished the season in sixth place, sliding down from fifth after the Hitmen won both of their last two games. With the Ice denied points, the Swift Current Broncos beat the Moose Jaw Warriors twice to leapfrog ahead.
Despite Calgary's success in the standings and their appearances in the BMO Top 10 lists throughout the season, McGill says it will be the little things that will determine success for the Ice.
"The biggest thing for us is we have to make sure we don't give this group anything easy," McGill said. "If you want to look back to the game on Saturday in their building, sure we were down 4-1 but they didn't get a shot on goal in the first 14 minutes of the game.
"…We know we've had success in certain areas against this team this year, we gotta try to emphasize those areas to start games and start periods and every shift in shift out, that our focus is on that, and not worry about what goes on around that."
Both teams will be leaning on their top lines, with Brady Brassart, Greg Chase and Jake Virtanen providing the main offensive threats for Calgary. Sam Reinhart, Jaedon Descheneau and Luke Philp are the main point producers for the Kootenay Ice front line.
"It's always a battle against Calgary," said Reinhart. "It's pretty easy to tell that both teams don't like each other, so it's always going to be a battle and I think that's good.
"A seven game series—I think it's going to bring out the best in both teams."
It will be an interesting goaltender matchup between Mackenzie Skapski and Chris Driedger. Both have the same number of wins at 28 this season, with some similar individual numbers. Skapski has a save percentage of 0.916, with a goals against average of 2.70. Driedger has a slight edge with a 0.918 save percentage and a GAA of 2.64.
The defensive battle will be one of the keys to the series. Kootenay was down to five defencemen last weekend, and it remains to be seen if Landon Peel or Landon Cross will return from injury to bolster the back end.
"Obviously, we've played the last couple games without them, so if it it comes down to them not being in the lineup, we know what to expect," said Ice defenceman Jagger Dirk. "We got to keep our game simple and there are going to be more minutes out there, so everybody's gotta dig deep and give more, and when they do get back—whenever that is—they're obviously going to be a huge help."
The series also gets the big screen treatment, as Shaw TV will broadcast every game between the two teams.
Calgary will host Game One on Thursday and Game Two on Saturday. The series will shift back to Cranbrook for Game Three on Monday and Game Four on Tuesday. If necessary, Game Five and Game Seven will be in Calgary, while Game Six is at Western Financial Place.

Sitcom-heavy slate hinges on 'X-Files' deal
Fox, the network that failed to launch a live-action laffer for most of the 1990s, heads into fall as TV's new king of comedy — at least in terms of volume.
Fox is expected to air 12 half-hour comedies next season, the most in the web's 14-year history. The network will announce two new dramas and three new sitcoms when it holds its upfront presentation Thursday in New York (Daily Variety, May 15). Meanwhile, CBS execs kept the biz guessing Tuesday as to the shape of the Eye's 2001-02 fall sked, though several pieces of the puzzle seemed to be falling into place. Net will add five new dramas, two comedies and a new reality show to its lineup (Daily Variety, May 15). The net announces its sked this afternoon. Fox execs are in a scheduling holding pattern, however, until the net works out a deal with Chris Carter to return with another season of "The X-Files." The network has at least three different schedules in the works — one with "X-Files" back on Sundays, and the other two sans the sci-fi drama. The net is expected to make an 11th-hour deal with Carter to either return to "X-Files" or serve as a consultant. But in the unlikely event that "X-Files" signs off, Fox is mulling placing either new drama "24" or returning David E. Kelley skein "Boston Public" in the slot. Otherwise, Fox will announce a schedule that's heavy on stability. All together, net will launch just five new series this fall: The dramas "24" (from Imagine TV and 20th Century Fox TV) and "Pasadena" (from Columbia TriStar and Brad Grey TV) and comedies "Undeclared" (from DreamWorks), "Bernie Mac" (from Regency TV and 20th) and "The Tick" (from Columbia TriStar and Sonnenfeld/Josephson Prods.) "Undeclared" and "The Tick" were originally developed for last season and then pushed back as Fox stockpiled original programming due to the threat of a writers' strike. Another one of those series warming the bench, the animated laffer "Family Guy," will also return after a year-long hiatus. Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays remain the same, which means "Malcolm in the Middle" won't be making an oft-rumored move to Wednesdays, at least until midseason. Midseason moves Fox is actually delaying a lot of big moves until the second half of the year. The Paramount/20th Century Fox TV laffer "Andy Richter Controls the Universe," one of this development season's most-buzzed-about pilots, won't be launched until midseason; nor will the 20th puppet comedy "Greg the Bunny," once considered a shoo-in for the post-"Simpsons" time slot. Other series likely to land on the midseason list include the comedy "Nathan's Choice" (Warner Bros.) and drama "Emma Brody" (20th). Beyond steady skeds for Saturday, Sunday and Monday, here's how the rest of the Fox week is shaping up:- Original episodes of powerhouse Carsey-Werner-Mandabach laffer "That '70s Show" will anchor Tuesday night at 8, followed by the new Judd Apatow-penned college laffer "Undeclared." At 9 p.m., Fox will likely sked the real-time drama "24," which tracks an attempted assassination plot against a major political candidate as it unfolds, hour by hour. Drama is a fave of net execs.
- Wednesdays is expected to be anchored by a mix of original and repeat editions of Fox faves such as "That '70s Show," "Malcolm in the Middle," "The Simpsons" and "King of the Hill." At 8:30, net will bring back laffer "Grounded for Life" for its sophomore season. Fox used a mix of repeat and original "That '70s Show" episodes this spring to launch "Grounded for Life"; it also double-pumped "Malcolm in the Middle" in this slot last fall in an attempt to launch the failed John Goodman laffer "Normal, Ohio." The comedy cavalcade will continue at 9 p.m., with Tuesday yukfest "Titus" moving into an anchor position. It will be followed by "Bernie Mac," which stars the standup comic as a man who suddenly finds himself the father of three.
- Barring a last-minute change, Fox will also make a bold play on Thursdays by scheduling the animated laffer "Family Guy" at 8 p.m., with the oft-delayed live-action superhero comedy "The Tick" at 8:30. Former skein has been off the air for more than a year, while latter skein has been in development for more than a year. What's more, Fox hasn't had luck with laffers on Thursdays since the days of "Martin" and "Living Single." But with Sunday's animated lineup flourishing, Fox probably figures it has little to lose by giving "Guy" and "The Tick" a chance in a slot where the net has had little luck lately. The move also allows the net to present to advertisers another hour of scripted programming — not a small point during a depressed ad market where nets are trying to squeeze out as much coin as possible. Reality shows typically attract less revenue than scripted fare. At 9 p.m., the net is leaning toward a "reality wheel," much like what the Wednesday night 9 p.m. slot ended up becoming this year. "Temptation Island 2" is expected to kick off the time slot; "Endgame" and "Love Cruise" could also end up in the slot next season.
- All signs point to Fox moving soph drama "Dark Angel" to an 8 p.m. Friday slot. Net once again is hoping to find success with sci-fi fare on the night that birthed "The X-Files." "Dark Angel" will be followed at 9 p.m. by the sudser "Pasadena."
- Monday nights would kick off with "The King of Queens," followed by new Daniel Stern starrer "Community Center." "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "Becker" remain from 9-10, while "Citizen Baines" would get the 10 p.m. slot.
- Tuesdays would remain the same, with "JAG," "60 Minutes II" and "Judging Amy."
- On Wednesdays, Eye would lead off with the Jerry Bruckheimer reality skein "The Amazing Race." "48 Hours" would land at 9, with either "The Guardian" or "Family Law" settling in at 10.
- "Survivor 3" and "CSI" would continue to anchor Thursdays, with new CIA drama "The Agency" doing battle with "ER" at 10.
- In a risky gambit, CBS might move "Yes, Dear" to Friday night at 8, with "The Ellen Show' following at 8:30 p.m. It's a tricky move, considering the net's woeful comedy record on the night (think "Meego.") At 9, the creepy "Wolf Lake" would find a home, while either "Family Law" or "The Guardian" would replace "Nash Bridges" at 10 p.m.
- Saturdays would be boosted by the return home of "Touched by an Angel" at 8, with soph drama "That's Life" getting a second chance at 9 p.m. Hit drama "The District" stays put at 10.
- On Sundays, look for "60 Minutes" to return at 7 p.m, and the "CBS Sunday Movie" remaining at 9 p.m. as the sole network pic franchise on TV. At 8 p.m., Richard Dreyfuss comes to the small screen in "The Education of Max Bickford."

The barbarian culture is the stage of development where class distinctions begin. Men of different abilities engage in different kinds of activities. Advances in tools and technology means that not all of their time is spent on activities associated with survival. They have time for other activities, or leisure activities. Ownership of property has also emerged. Ownership of property began with women, as the victor would claim the women of the defeater. The women were basically trophies and evidence of the power and strength of the victor. This was the basis for the establishment of wealth. Other forms of property came into being as part of the ability to have leisure time.
A distinction is made between kinds of employment. There is men's work and woman's work. The men work at war, hunting sports, and religious observances. They may make toys, weapons, and sporting goods. There is a...

Yeah I used to race DH but haven't had much time to make it to the bike parks and sold my DH bike a few years back. I love the EVO in the bike park and its fun on singletrack but I kind of want to switch it up a bit. Still debating on hardtail or the SX frame. It is hard to find short travel frames that can take some park riding and singletrack with good geometry for both. I prob don't even need to do anything but I just feel like a 6" travel bike is overkill for everything I'm riding now.
My hardtail option is leaning towards the 2015 TransAM. My buddy has an older 26" one and I like it. Just don't want to sacrifice the ability to boost a kicker or something of that sorts.

Pinkbike Announces New 'Places' Feature
Traveling for work allows little time to explore trails in areas I'm working. I usually try to contact a local shop or someone through Pinkbike but it isn't always successful. Then, I end up riding 3 hours around a gravel path looking for singletrack. Having an app that points out a handful of killer trails that I can go to after work would be awesome. Just a starting point would be cool. Like, "Hey, there's a trail head here." or "Park here, ride there." or "Meet here, group rides Thursdays at 6pm."

Sep 8, 2013Fox Launch Shorty Knee/Shin Pads
$20 USDFox Launch Shorty Pads
Knee/Upper Shin Guards
Used for a few seasons but nothing is broken and they will still take a beaten to protect you. This is the last of my true DH stuff to sell after selling my bike. They haven't been worn the past two seasons, but got three seasons of use before that. Great pads, almost bummed to sell them but no longer have a use for them. Best for park riding and DH racing. Slightly uncomfortable for high pedaling applications like trail riding.
Great for budget pads. Don't break your bank account to get into the sport. Same design as the new ones from Fox for $45 less and some character. That $45 you save is a day pass at a bike park. One more day in the park and still get the protection you need.
I will clean them the best I can before shipping.

Mew | ||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||
Mew (Japanese: ミュウ Mew) is a major character from Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.
Mew first appeared as a Taillow, landing on Cameran Palace and then transforming into a Pichu. It enters the palace where some of the Pokémon gathered, and meets Ash's Pikachu. It then transforms into a Treecko. It continued transforming, including into an Aipom to play with Ash's Pikachu. Ash and his friends released their Pokémon to play with what they thought was an Aipom.
After taking them to an attic, Kidd Summers sent her two Weavile after it. To escape, it teleported, along with Pikachu and Meowth. It then transformed once again into a Pidgeot and flew the Pokémon to the Tree of Beginning. While Ash and the others were looking for Pikachu, Mew kept it entertained with toys.
When the Tree of Beginning's automatic defense system absorbed Ash, Mew saw how distraught Pikachu and Ash's other Pokémon were over the loss of their Trainer. As a result, Mew restored all of the humans who had been swallowed, but this act nearly killed Mew as it sent the Tree of Beginning's biological parts into shock and causing it to start to crumble. Lucario stepped in and was able to save Mew, but ended up sacrificing itself.
Mew is believed to still reside at the Tree of Beginning. It was revealed at the end that a Bonsly that Ash and his friends had befriended remained behind, finally allowing Mew to have someone to play with all the time.
Mew is said to come now and again to the palace to get some of the toys. It brings these to the Tree of Beginning, where it would play with them. At the end of the film, Sir Aaron's gloves could be seen among its collection.
Personality and characteristics
Mew has a very playful personality, as it was shown haven taken many toys from the palace to its home at the Tree of Beginning. However, when it saw Pikachu and the other Pokémon getting sad for being separated from their Trainers, it willingly endangered its own life to bring them back, showing that besides its childish nature, it also had a very brave and unselfish side.

Treasure Ship
How a group of prospectors, digging for a strike, turned up the whole mid-nineteenth century
April/May 2002 | Volume 53, Issue 2
Almost immediately the elation was tempered by reality. More pumps were needed to uncover the stern section, but the family's investment had reached a quarter of a million dollars (it would reach half a million the next month). Greg worried about losing his home. Juggling the demands of the refrigeration business, working on the wreck, and finding time to spend with their families made the Hawleys' days long and hectic. Worsening weather made the work miserable, and, as their finds were exposed to air, the necessity of devising methods of protecting them became obvious. According to Greg Hawley, "Our only big concern as we began to find objects was stabilization. We were going to dig and sell. We knew we had to create an environment as good as the original. Since our family business is environmental control, we had a good handle on it."
Stopgap measures were quickly put in place. Refrigerators and freezers at restaurants operated by Jerry Mackey were commandeered, limestone caves in Independence, Missouri, provided underwater storage for other articles, and basements at the workers' houses became temporary warehouses.
Each day brought new surprises. With cargo to provide all the necessities of life, the variety of items was vast: two prefabricated houses and 10 tons of lumber, plus nails, screws, doorknobs, and windowpanes; clothing and accessories, such as bolts of fabric, boots from gold-trimmed to galoshes, belts, and long underwear; household items, among them china, mirrors, candles, lamps; saddles, tack, wagon parts; medicines, including pine tar, Mexican Mustang Lineament, and Dr. J. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters; spiced pigs' feet, butter and cheese, bottled fruits and pickles, spices, coffee; and luxuries like champagne, cognac, and perfume. The discovery of a small porcelain doll wrapped in a wool sock tucked in a workman's toolbox brought delight and speculation.
The Hawleys' efforts had been reported mainly in the local press, but now, as word got out about the extent of their finds, skeptical professionals came to inspect the site. Concerned about procedures used in earlier excavations, Tom Witty, the Kansas State archeologist, and his associates descended on the Arabia . Witty immediately recognized the value of the wreck. "Of all the work I've done, this was the most magnificent thing I'd ever seen. To go down into that hole and put my hand on the side of that hull—I was in awe of the site."
The archeologists had approached the excavation ready to protest. Witty, now retired, recalls, "If they had been damaging things, we were ready to march on the legislature and demand laws to protect the Arabia and its artifacts. But they were doing a great job. They knew what they were doing."
As the excavation continued, the adventurers came to the realization that the value of the collection lay in the whole, not the parts. "When I first visited the site," Tom Witty says, the Hawleys "were treasure hunters. By the fourth time they were going to keep these things. They were making all the right moves and had it in their heads to preserve the Arabia ." The cargo represented the largest assemblage of pre-Civil War artifacts ever discovered.
The colors of the items fascinated the Hawleys. Daguerreotypes of the time give an impression of a monochromatic world, but shirts and jackets in brilliant red, green, and blue wool painted a Technicolor picture of antebellum life. Preserved cherries and pickled relishes looked just put up, and a bottle of perfume, when opened, added a scent of nostalgia to the permeating bouquet of diesel fuel and wet mud.
Previously the Hawleys had worried only about stabilizing the objects. Now they began to research preservation methods. Conservators of the Bertrand , a steamboat that had sunk in the river near Omaha in 1865 and been recovered in the 1960s (see sidebar), provided some help, but the Hawleys sought more contemporary techniques. Experts at the Smithsonian suggested contacting members of the team that had recovered the Mary Rose , an early-sixteenth-century warship that had been raised in the English Channel in 1982. But while their expertise was extremely helpful in dealing with wood, they knew salt water best, so they referred the Hawleys to the Canadian Conservation Institute and the Historic Resource Conservation Branch of the Canadian parks service, which gave them vital information on freshwater preservation.

'End of the Rainbow' presents Judy Garland, warts and all
Any actor who tackles the gargantuan role of Judy Garland must walk a devilishly tricky tightrope.
For Garland's fans – and almost a half century after her death they're still legion – she's an icon of Hollywood's Golden Age, the girl who defined sweet-faced innocence in "The Wizard of Oz" and many other films.
But Garland became just as famous for her shortcomings: public meltdowns, a lifelong struggle with various addictions, and a talent that faded tragically before her untimely death at 47 of a drug overdose.
In "End of the Rainbow," playwright Peter Quilter tries to give us both parts of Garland's complex equation, and he's not always successful. His play, which opened Wednesday at the Ahmanson Theatre, dips too frequently into excess and emotional Grand Guignol. Quilter's lingering attention to Garland's unsavory qualities borders on voyeurism, and it isn't helped by Terry Johnson's direction, which fetishizes her over-the-top moments.
The script's shortcomings are made forgivable, if not insignificant, by the woman who has played Garland since the play's London debut in 2010. British performer Tracie Bennett takes a go-for-broke approach that is the only way to pay tribute to a talent as immense as Garland's and make her sins seem like the inevitable result of others' exploitation, not the excesses of a spoiled star.
Bennett doesn't try for slavish imitation, though she captures the essence of Garland's performance style. With her overly exuberant vibrato and her edge-of-hysteria climaxes, Garland could be as harrowing as she was entertaining, and Bennett nails that manic, misfiring energy perfectly.
But Bennett also goes deeper, especially in the quiet moments. Quilter's script implies that Garland knew she was doomed and wanted to change, but decades of self-abuse and bad choices had made it impossible. You can see that sad knowledge in Bennett's eyes in moments when Judy takes silent stock of her situation.
"End of the Rainbow" is set a few months before Garland's death. She has just arrived in London with her much younger fiancé, musician and club owner Mickey Deans (Erik Heger, suitably blustery), to begin a five-week engagement at the Talk of the Town nightclub.
Garland needs the gig badly. Personally and financially, her life is a shambles.
But adversity hasn't dampened the star's ebullience or her withering and often profane sense of humor. When she is reminded that Deans will be her fifth husband, not her fourth as she thought, Garland pauses. "Who'd I miss? Grumpy, Dopey, Sleepy..."
Garland knows she's damaged, and why. She talks bitterly about her days as a hard-working child actor and the pills her handlers gave her to pep her up or slow her down. Reflecting on problems that she, Mickey Rooney and other child actors encountered as adults, Garland remarks, "We all turned out very peculiar."
At first, Deans is determined to make his wife-to-be and meal ticket walk the straight and narrow. She whines for something to take off her antsy edge. He refuses. "No booze, no pills. Nothing!"
Garland and Deans aren't a good match. He's dictatorial and tries to shout her down. She enjoys goading Deans and ordering him around. At one point she demands a British meal of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. When he asks where he is supposed to find it at that hour, she responds, "Just drive around until you smell gravy."
Fortunately, Garland's pianist and music director, Anthony (talented Michael Cumpsty, disappearing as always into his role), acts as a quiet and calming counterweight to Deans. He's an introspective Scottish homosexual with a warm and all-forgiving admiration for her. At first, the role seems like a convenient way for Quilter to explore the gay world's fascination with Garland. But as the play progresses their bond deepens and the relationship turns poignant. "Come away with me," he tells her. "Let me look after you. Let me love you."
It's an impossible dream, of course, and Garland's off-handed rejection of Anthony's offer is the play's cruelest moment. Also the most tragic: We know, as Anthony does, that's it's the last chance for the spiraling singer to save her career and her life.
The action on William Dudley's richly detailed set toggles between a swank suite at London's Ritz Hotel and the club, where Garland's performances in front of a crackerjack band become increasingly erratic.
This metamorphosis is the core of Bennett's brilliant performance. At first, Garland can brush away the cobwebs as the old showbiz instincts take over in "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" and "Just in Time." But as Mickey turns from policeman into enabler in a desperate bid to get the fading Garland back onstage, the fog of drugs and booze descends and her huge gifts become increasingly undermined. Bennett's portrayal of the star's public breakdown is painful to watch, especially for those who adore Garland. As theater, though, Bennett's work is completely mesmerizing.
"End of the Rainbow" isn't for everyone. Garland's fans might be offended, and some will find Quilter's play as subtle and tolerable as a drunk uncle at Thanksgiving. But if you love the transformative power of an actor who goes deep in search of truth, Bennett's Tony-nominated performance shouldn't be missed.

The weekend before last I took a sushi-making class at Soy in Manhattan on the Lower East Side. It was a 2 hour class, where we learned how to make sushi rice, prepare the ingredients, and roll regular, inside-out, and hand rolls. With only 4 of in the class, it gave us all a chance to do some slicing, and rolling.
Sushi ingredients
Getting ready to make a California Roll
California Roll
Eel and Cucumber Roll
Spicy Tuna Hand Roll
It was fun to take a little master class. It was a really affordable course and we got to eat all of the sushi we made--I even had enough left over to take a bit home. I was always intimidated by sushi rice and how to make it correctly, so I have a slightly better grasp on that, even though my rolling technique leaves much to be desired. Practice makes perfect and not long from now I'll have a new party skill!
Now I would love to take more cooking classes. No cuisine is safe! Indian, Indonesian, Thai, Southern, French! Knife skills! Pastries!

crooked bottle
The bottle I got was bent at the top. It appears to have been manufactured like that. As a result, it doesn't look very good sitting next to the sink. The bottle is also a relatively lurid shade of green, although it appears quite pale in the picture. This is supposed to be scented with Lemongrass, Orange, Lime and Bergamot, and the lemongrass comes through strongly. I would not recommend this if you do not like lemongrass.

Hey guys,
Been lurking around these parts for a while now, been really meaning to upgrade my setup with a budget of ~$500 CAD, and with christmas around the corner, now seems as good a time as any!
So a little bit of backstory:
I started off with PC350s and a Fatality X-Fi, which I was very pleased with for the past several years (used to be primarily a gamer). Last year I built a new machine and swapped in an ASUS Xonar DX, which I have not been very impressed with for music or gaming. However, I recently discovered my love and new obsession for lossless music, and as I expand my library, I want to be able to experience the full potential of my music. I love listening for the little intricacies in each song, stuff I never used to pay any attention to. I primarily listen to rock / alternative / indie folk. Some of my favourite bands include: RHCP, Blind Pilot, Led Zep, Incubus, Radiohead.
I'm thinking I should swap out the Xonar DX since I'm not happy with it with either an Xonar ST/STX or Omega Claro (both of which have a dedicated headphone amp), my only worry is that I plan on buying Swan M200MkII/III or equivalent loudspeakers down the line, and I'd need a seperate amp for that. Is there any better approach there?
Anyhow back to headphones...
What I'm looking for is something to experience the fullness of my music, under $300 comfortable for long use, and still be great for gaming (mostly FPS' eg. CS:GO, BF3, FC3, TF2).
I've looked into these ones so far, and I really don't know which one would suit my needs best, so hopefully you guys can help me decide:
- Fischer FA-011
- Beyerdynamic DT990 PRO
- Audiotechnica AD700
- Audiotechnica ATHM50
I'm obviously open to suggestions!
Thanks for your help in advance :)

On National Immigration Day of Action, Nation's Leading LGBT Advocacy Organizations Stand in Solidarity for Immigration Reform
'LGBT people are immigrants and immigration is an LGBT issue'
WASHINGTON, April 10 — Today national lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) advocacy organizations join local, state and national immigration, civil rights and LGBT groups and advocates marching for justice for all immigrants on National Immigration Day of Action.
Standing in solidarity with the immigration movement in calling on Congress to do the right thing and pass fair and humane comprehensive immigration reform are the 26 undersigned groups, including the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force; GLAAD; the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR); the Queer Undocumented Immigrant Project (QUIP), a project of the United We Dream Network; National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance (NQAPIA); and Immigration Equality.
"LGBT people are immigrants and immigration is an LGBT issue," said Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, who spoke from the stage on the West Lawn of the Capitol representing a broad range of allied organizations at the march.
The groups also call on media to tell the stories of undocumented people that shed light on the many ways the broken immigration system harms millions of Americans, including through family separation and inhumane conditions and abuse in detention facilities.
"Federal immigration reform is about respecting the humanity in each and all of us, including DREAMers and our families, migrant farm workers, LGBT binational couples, and transgender people in need of asylum," said Jorge Gutierrez, project coordinator of the Queer Undocumented Immigrant Project (QUIP), a project of the United We Dream Network. Gutierrez is openly gay and undocumented.
"As a transgender woman who was detained by immigration authorities, I have first-hand experience with the inhumane treatment and abuse in detention facilities that for years have threatened the health, safety and even lives of millions of immigrants," said Bamby Salcedo, president of the Trans-Latin@ Coalition. "I was sexually assaulted when I was forced to be housed in a dorm with about 100 men in a detention facility, and I was denied adequate access to HIV medication and hormone treatment. These are the harms countless transgender detainees face; we must put an end to these atrocities. We all deserve a chance to live with dignity, to pursue our dreams, and to work for a better future and better quality of life."
"The current broken system hurts, scapegoats and vilifies all immigrants, including LGBT immigrants, and their friends and families. Comprehensive federal immigration reform is an urgent priority for our nation and the LGBT community," said Kate Kendell, executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
"It is important for the LGBT and immigrants' rights communities to work together and support one another. We're all working to be treated equally and to be able to enjoy lives free of discrimination and fear, for ourselves and our families. We've seen the success of unity in places like Maryland, Colorado and Washington. In all of these places, our two communities prevented our opponents from pitting us against each other. We cannot stop now," said Dave Montez, chief of staff of GLAAD, a member of the coalition.
Immigration Equality Executive Director Rachel B. Tiven said, "Immigration Equality helps thousands of LGBT immigrant families every year: undocumented families, mixed-status families, DREAMers, asylum seekers fleeing persecution, and detainees locked in immigration jail. LGBT people demand reform of a system in which our families are invisible. In the words of binational couple activist Pablo Garcia: 'I want a path to citizenship. But I don't want to wait 13 years to be a citizen. If I were straight I would be one already.'"
"At stake in the comprehensive immigration reform debate is our ability to keep our families together and to recognize the diversity of all our families. LGBT people are challenged across the entire spectrum of the broken immigration system and comprehensive reform is needed now," said Ben de Guzman, co-director, National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance (NQAPIA).

In New York on Oscar Sunday, the red carpet will be more than a runway for hopefuls in borrowed gowns and glitter.
Read Whole Story
With so many big, prestigious, Oscar-worthy movies crammed into the last few weeks of the year, it's challenging to find hidden gems now playing in theaters. But this gives me an opportunity to reach into my archival bag and pull out some lesser-known treats for the season.
In 1766, the 15-year-old Princess of Wales was anxious about her upcoming marriage to Denmark's King Christian VII. Will he like her? Will the people like her?
This finely acted and engaging historical piece is shot with a contemporary sensibility that resonates today.
A Royal Affair looks sumptuous and contains meaty, provocative ideas. It's a feast of a film, one that will send you scurrying for background on the real people behind this true story.

1 home destroyed in Washington state landslideAP , Associated Press
Mar. 27, 2013 3:08 PM ET
COUPEVILLE, Wash. (AP) — Whidbey Island authorities say one home has been severely damaged by a landslide that has isolated or threatened 33 more homes in a community overlooking Puget Sound about 50 miles north of Seattle. The slide was reported about 4 a.m. Wednesday. Central Whidbey Fire and Rescue evacuated one person from the damaged home. About 10 more residents have been evacuated by boat. Chief Ed Hartin says no one has been injured. One person was taken to a hospital with an unrelated condition. Hartin says the slide affects about 400 or 500 yards across the top of a hillside and downhill 600 or 700 yards to the water. The slide took out a road, isolating 16 homes. Another 17 homes above are threatened by the mudslide which continues to move. © The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
