More information of this item:
Phor-poo-lersri (พ่อปู่ฤษี) is same as the great teacher of monk and master in thailand , he is not only the observer religious precepts, but also has much knowledge, sciences and so on.
The venerable lersri tradition is therefore linked to the Buddhist tradition, and its practioners were hermits of sundry ascetic practices that nowadays are totally forgotten, as well as in touch with diverse practices from the Hindu and Animist traditions, one of their main principles being that extreme purification of one's body leads to purification of one's spirit in the attainment of Awakening.
From the origin the lersri enjoyed a lot of freedom in their life and Spiritual practice, having no fixed organization to watch over them and give them order, so they were living free lives, being living example of the joy there is to be a Holy man and help other being by miraculous ways.
The ancient teachers pay respects of Phor-poo-lersri as the highest teachers who have many benefits that teach to the students willingly. The highest teachers have built Phra lersri's picture of worshipping. And the latter period of time also go to worship "phra ersi" in order to make a merit.
The one who prepossessing "Phorpoo lersri " must honest in his occupation, strongly pay attention to Phor Poo will receive a good thing. Phorpoo lersri will bring that one prosperous, charming and selling, and also protect him out of the devils, dangerous as the glass for making everything as he wants and succeeds.
The merit of worshipping Phorpoo lersri is for the one who worship will receive the protection, has a charming and great kindness, succeed in duty and responsibility and has a luck and money, be richer and richer.
PHA-BUCHA-STATUE is amulet Statue or figure of simbolic which use for put inside your home or office for make good luck and by catch FENG-SHUI
What Is Feng Shui?
Feng shui — which literally translates to "wind and water" — is the ancient Chinese art of placement. The goal is to enhance the flow of chi (life force or spiritual energy), and to create harmonious environments that support health, beckon wealth and invite happiness.
Feng Shui and Buddha Statues
Whenever you place any object in your home for a feng shui symbol or remedy, be sure you use the right element. For example, a metal Buddha placed in the northern sector of your home is typically an outstanding choice for location. The same statue placed in the east sector of your home won't have beneficial results. In fact, metal in a wood element sector can impede your feng shui design since metal cuts wood. Avoid putting a Buddha statue on the floor; this is deemed very disrespectful. If you opt for a Laughing Buddha, don't forget to rub his belly. While this isn't a requirement, many people claim that rubbing Buddha's belly everyday (the fatter the belly the better) will bring luck and prosperity to all in the home.
Feng Shui Rules for Buddha Placement
The first thing you want to do when placing a Buddha statue or any statue of a deity is to make sure the location is truly one of reverence. This means you should never place one in a bathroom or kitchen. Also, you want the height of the Buddha to be at least eye level. Looking down at a deity is considered rude and irreverent. Avoid placing near electrical outlets, elect or equipment with moving parts and motors. This type of activity disturbs the surrounding energy.
Most Auspicious Location for Your Buddha
- Facing the main door: Many feng shui consultants recommend placing the Buddha opposite the main front door of a home on a table that is about thirty inches high. This location allows Buddha to interact with the chi energy entering your home. From this position, the statue can neutralize any negative chi, and transform it from damaging to very lucky energy.
- Living room: Buddha is also quite comfortable in the living room. The best position for Buddha in the living room is facing the front door.
- On a desk: Students should place Buddha on their desks. This is a perfect location to enlist a little help with lessons and evoke Buddha auspicious energy for fulfilling your academic goals.
- Office table or reception's desk: For those that own a business, placing Buddha on a reception's desk can help bring prosperity to your company.
- Meditation garden: This is an ideal area for a Buddha statue. One of the most popular poses is the Meditation Buddha.
- Buddha altar: If you're Buddhist, then you already have an altar, just make sure you place this altar in your home where meditation and reflection can be practiced.
- Yoga room: If you practice yoga, then you have a special room or area of a room in your home devote to your exercise. This is an excellent place for a Buddha statue. Just be sure to place it eye level or higher.

Exhibition: Dorothy Iannone – Innocent and Aware
Camden Arts Centre hosts Dorothy Iannone's vibrant and erotic early art alongside her newer pieces.
At the age of 80, Dorothy Iannone continues to be confident and unapologetic with her erotic pieces and high sex drive, the collection gives a pin-hole view into her feelings and experiences.
The exhibition features pieces from the 70's and 80's alongside her more recent pieces.

In paintings, sculpture and video boxes shows figures scantily clad and nude in positions of unity and pleasure against a background of flora, mandalas and biomorphic patterns. Giving that free, 'spread the love' hippy-like vibe.
The exhibition will be a Camden Arts Centre from now until the 5th May 2013.
You can find out more about the exhibition on the Camden Arts Centre website.

I'm a bit of a neat freak and don't like clutter around my house and especially in my home office. I can't control what my kids, dog, and wife do with most of the rooms in our house, but my home office space is my personal kingdom. As such, I don't like all the wires, cables, power outlets, etc. that come along with all the various computer components and gadgets that I have currently in my office. I was able to reduce much of this by switching to a fully integrated iMac Desktop system, but I still have the following components to deal with:
- External backup hard drive (for use with Apple Time Machine Software)
- Comcast digital set top box
- EyeTV HD video recording device
- Touchstone charger with USB cable
- Work Laptop charger
Considering that my office has basically a single desk (floating in the center of the room) and a small side-board cabinet just off to my left side, I don't have a lot of space for electronic accessories. Of course, I could put the mentioned components inside my side cabinet, however, I didn't want to purchase extension cables and have them run from the side cabinet over to my iMac system sitting on my main desk. Thus, I designed a method to store all of my components under my main desk.
What I did, was buy a pegboard (normally used for hanging up tools in a garage) and cut it down to a 2-ft by 4-ft piece. Using three small hinges, I attached one end of the pegboard to the bottom front side of my desk so that it could swing up and under my desk. This way, I could easily attach the three previous mentioned computer components to the pegboard using plastic zip ties and swing it up and out of the way under my main desk surface. What is nice, is that I could also neatly wrap and tie all the associated power adapters, cables, and wires to the pegboard so that everything is out of sight. I also included a powerstrip so that all these accessories could be conveniently plugged in under my desk as well.
Now if you walked into my home office you wouldn't notice any of these extra components connected to my iMac (sans the few USB cables coming from the back of my iMac disappearing around the underside of my desk). If I ever need to check any of these components or add something else, I just swing it down and viola I have instant and easy access.
The under-the-desk trick should work for anyone who has a desk with a reasonably hiding area beneath it. I highly recommend using pegboard as it has pre-drilled holes which the plastic zip ties can conveniently wrap around. And if you're a super-neat freak you could also strap in a small light which you can turn on to actually see what you have under your desk! 🙂

January 6, 2012 11:26 pm
SEOUL, Jan. 6 — Samsung Electronics, the world's largest maker of memory chips, televisions and flat screens, estimated Friday that its fourth-quarter operating profits hit new high due to brisk sales of smartphones.
The preliminary estimate for operating profit posted a fresh record high of 5.2 trillion won (4.5 billion U.S. dollars) during the October-December period, up 22.35 percent from the previous quarter, according to Samsung. From a year earlier, the operating profit surged 72.76 percent.
The fourth-quarter operating profit was the largest in the company's history. The previous record was 5.01 trillion won tallied in the second quarter of 2010.
Sales were also estimated at a new high of 47 trillion won for three months ended Dec. 31, up 13.88 percent from three months before. The fourth-quarter revenue grew 12.25 percent from a year before.
Samsung's revenue continued to expand last year, with 36.99 trillion won in the first quarter, 39.44 trillion won in the second quarter and 41.27 trillion won in the third quarter.
Samsung did not unveil its guidance for net profit and performance for each division. The final results would be announced later this month. (One U.S. dollar equals 1155.8 won). (PNA/Xinhua)

|Recurring Event (See all)
An event every week that begins at 9:30 am on Sunday, repeating until March 22, 2020
We live in a culture that asks us to accept each person's sexuality as each person defines it and therefore encourages an attitude of "You do you" in the name of love. Yet, it can be confusing when we compare this mantra with what Scripture teaches. Thankfully, the one who created us has plenty to say about the topics of sex, gender, homosexuality, and transgenderism. Join us as we understand God's word on these relevant topics so that we are not confused, and so that we can love everyone with his truth.

The removal of the 130-year-old tree is part of the city's multi-million dollar redevelopment of Kings Square. The timber will be made available to community members who expressed an interest. "We hope offering some of the wood to artists and other interested groups will in some small way help the legacy of the trees live on" says Fremantle mayor Brad Pettitt.

Finding Great Accommodation For Your Next Holiday
Since winter is almost upon the country, it is a good time for you to squeeze in one last warm holiday before it gets way too cold for you to step out. Holidays are something that we all need from time to time because we all need a good break from everything around us. Some of us go to work every single and work very hard and so, it is going to take a heavy toll on both our mental health and physical health. Children, both in schools and universities have a lot of pressure placed on them to work hard and reach certain goals in time and sometimes this pressure can be a little too hard on them. This is exactly why everyone needs a little vacation every couple of months. Going on a family vacation will not only relax you but it is also going to help you and your loved ones bond too. But first, how are you going to find great accommodation for your next holiday?
Check the accommodation
The first thing to do is to check for the kind of accommodation that people have to offer for you and ensure that it fits you. If you are traveling around with your family in a caravan, then you can find a suitable caravan park lakes entrance that offers you space, beautiful views and more. If you want more definite accommodation, you can check for family cabins, deluxe cabins and more! This way, you can check for the number of bedrooms, see if they allow pets and more. It is the best way to ensure your accommodation is fit for you and your loved ones.
The facilities they are offering
When you are going on a holiday, you are not going to sit on your bed and spend the time. People want to engage in various activities, try out exciting things and just have a lot of fun. To make sure you can do so, you need to check for the various activities that your holiday accommodation is going to offer. Make sure that they have a swimming pool for everyone to get in to and relax. You can also check for other activities like bird watching, hiking and more that everyone can do together as a family!
The rates of the accommodation
When people want to go on a holiday, they always have a budget in their mind as this helps them to find the most affordable place to stay in. So check the rates of the accommodation and ensure that it falls in to your budget range!

New Euscorpius species from Southern Bulgaria
The scorpion fauna in Bulgaria is under investigation and in a recent paper Tropea and co-workers present a new species in the genus Euscorpius Thorell, 1876 (Euscorpiidae) from the Western Rhodope Mts. in southern Bulgaria.
Euscorpius drenskii Tropea, Fet, Parmakelis, Kotsakiozi & Stathi, 2015
A special combination of characters has not made it possible to assign the new species to any of the established subgenera.
A new scorpion species, Euscorpius drenskii sp. nov., is described from the Western Rhodope Mts. in southern Bulgaria. It is characterized by an oligotrichous trichobothrial pattern, which shows a conspicuous loss of one trichobothrium in the external median patellar series (em = 3), also observed in E. carpathicus (Linnaeus, 1767) and the subgenus Alpiscorpius Gantenbein, Fet, Largiadèr & Scholl, 1999. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA marker sequences does not show any close relationship between these three groups, suggesting that the observed loss of a trichobothrium is an independent event.
Tropea G, Fet V, Parmakelis A, Kotsakiozi P, Stathi I. A new species of Euscorpius (Scorpiones: Euscorpiidae) from southern Bulgaria. Arachnologische Mitteilungen. 2015;49:10-20. [Open access]
Thanks to professor Victor Fet and Gioele Tropea for sending me the new article!

The body of the poisoned fox has just been discovered and many of the men start to crowd around it. One of them states, "There ain't nothin' too bad." Trollope then switches registers and discusses the situation using Latinate words: "punishment," "due," "perpetrator," and "nefarious." The Latinate pile-up reaches its climax with "vulpecide," a word that combines the Latin words vulpes, "fox," and caedo, "kill." The use of these Latinate terms humorously conveys the seriousness with which the fox-hunters view the situation. [KS & RR 2012]
prudent foresight
A hyperbolic pairing of words, as "prudent" and "foresight" have almost the same meaning etymologically speaking. "Foresight" is a native English word, while "prudent" has its roots in Latin. "Prudent" comes from come from providens and itself means "fore-seeing." [KS & RR 2012]

To accelerate the development of autonomous vehicles, Luxoft has launched LuxTrace, a new and improved web-based version of TraceAnalyzer 4.0, a timing analysis tool for visualizing system timing in terms of the constituent ECUs, controllers, processors, buses, and networks. Luxoft says the new version can process large traces up to ten times faster than the previous version.
As LuxTrace is the modern web-based solution of the company's desktop application TraceAnalyzer, it can be integrated into continuous workflow.
LuxTrace now enables engineers to formulate all timing requirements using a flexible test-case centric representation. Being Python-based, the tool is said to allow users to test even the most complex timing requirements automatically. Also, easy templates are provided for general test cases and a central, database-backed repository for all the tracing data is provided.
The tool also allows all test-cases to be run fully automatically, with test reports available interactively in the browser or in user-specific formats like Excel.
LuxTrace can be configured centrally on the server and can be operated by multiple users at the same time. This allows all timing projects to be reviewed in a single place by everyone on the team.
"With autonomous cars around the corner, the need for more accurate and faster real-time software testing has never been more critical," said Dr. Marek Jersak, Director of Autonomous Drive at Luxoft. "Here at Luxoft, we've invested in providing software-based solutions that accelerate the development of next-generation vehicles, whilst ensuring safety and security. That's why we've revolutionised the TraceAnalyzer tool by developing LuxTrace."
Dr. Jersak continued: "For an engineer, understanding system timing and performance is fundamental to designing and verifying real-time systems. It is now easier to specify timing requirements, while the accuracy of timing measurements has also improved. The ability to perform analyses ten times faster will accelerate the development of driverless projects and ultimately help develop smoother driving experiences."

Contact Image Sensor Market: Market Overview
Contact image sensor is a kind of integrated module. It is a combination of an optical, a light sensing and an illumination system; all within one compact system. It is a type of LED sensor having useful applications in scanner technologies. Contact image sensor has become popular as it is a small and economic power source of imaging capability. Contact image sensor can sense any light which incident over its silicon surface. The distance between the document being scanned and the sensor is very less in the contact image sensor. Unlike CCD technology (charged coupled device), the size of every cell of the silicon surface is equal to the scale of the information to be scanned or captured. The image enlargement and reduction is not required when contact image sensor scans the image. Manufacturers are trying to innovate optical technologies with the help of contact image sensor. Brightness, uniformity, depth of illumination and optical simulation technology are some of the unique features of the contact image sensing technology.
Contact Image Sensor Market: Market Dynamics
Unique attributes provided by the contact image sensor over the CCD, are fueling the growth of its market. Contact image sensor with wide formats scanners can create sharp scans, which makes it ideally suited for scanning the minute details and fine lines of the technical documents. The suitability of contact image sensor for documents where exact color fidelity is not required is also contributing to the growth of its market. The compactness of contact image sensor is widening the scope of its market because it can be used in smaller products, unlike CCD. The cost-effectiveness of contact image sensor is resulting in its increasing adoption for varied applications. It is light in weight, which makes it suitable for banking and healthcare applications. However, the suitability of contact image sensor is confined to flat surfaces only, and it poses problems in sensing the materials which are not perfectly flat, which in turn restrains the growth of its market. The biggest challenge with the contact image sensor is that it provides low-quality images as compared to the traditional sensor. The power saving feature of contact image sensor is also widening the scope of its market, as it can produce good quality images with low power consumption. The use of contact image sensor for urine test instruments and culture vessel scanner is an opportunity for its manufacturers. Contact image sensor uses 1/10 of the electricity used by the charged coupled device, which makes it suitable to be involved in green projects. The application of these sensors is cost-efficient and environment-friendly.

Signs of Electrical Problems In Your Home
Many home electrical problems show early warning signs before they become more serious. Identifying these symptoms can help homeowners make repairs that can prevent dangerous situations that may potentially lead to property damage. Here are some of the signs that may indicate potential electrical problems in your home:
Electrical Shock From Appliances
If you are experiencing mild shocks when touching a particular appliance, it could mean a ground fault in the appliance or improper electrical wiring. Some mild shocks, such as those you may experience after crossing a carpeted surface, may not be a cause for concern but you need to take other types of electrical shocks more seriously.
Light Switches And Electrical Outlets That Do Not Work
Light switches and receptacles that work intermittently could mean that wiring is loose or the device is cracked internally. A plug that partially falls out could result in an unsuspecting individual accidentally receiving an electrical shock when unplugging the cord.
Hot Ceiling Fixtures
Check the area around your home's ceiling light fixtures for warmth since not all fixtures are well insulated. If you exceed the maximum recommended wattage for a bulb, the fixture may overheat and pose a fire hazard. If you're still using incandescent bulbs, switch to compact fluorescent light (CFL) or light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs because these do not produce as much heat as incandescent lights.
Tripping Of Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers will trip when a circuit is overloaded. By shutting off the electrical supply, the breaker can prevent the wires from overheating. Breakers may also trip when they become old. Occasional tripping could mean an overload. You should consult an electrician if the tripping of the circuit breakers occurs more frequently.
Troubleshooting Electrical Problems Yourself Can Be Risky
Although it is possible for you to troubleshoot some of the electrical problems in your home yourself, remember that you need to be cautious when working with electricity. Electrical shocks can cause serious injury and possibly even death.
Home electrical problems call for diagnosis and repair from a professional electrician experienced at fixing electrical and wiring problems. If you have spotted signs of electrical problems in your home, contact J.M Mullen Electrical Services. Our experienced and customer oriented electricians will be happy to help you with any electrical issues that you have in your home.

In the middle of the second full week of July every year, Centre County becomes a host to artistic festivities. The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts (CPFA), which I review the in Part 1, and for the past 19 years The People's Choice Festival at the Pennsylvania Military Museum. The People's Choice was a festival born out of local artisans frustration of not being accepted into CPFA have have remained dedicated to having all of the venders being Pennsylvania residents and a nice percentage of them from the center region.
My mother, Rita Gay Lukens, is an artist that showed he faith in the creation of the first People's Choice festival and for over a decade would set up with her pen and ink drawing of Scenes of Central PA. Now retired from the show circuit, her art can still be purchased at West Side Gallery in Lewistown.
All of this has little to do with the vegetarian food at the People's Choice other than I have closely seen the growth and change in the festival vendors over the years. They have always had a nice diversity in food choices (I remember one year had Soul Food) but the percentage of vegetarian options has stayed about the same.
The People's Choice
This year was almost identical to what I remember for the past 2 years and it continues to outshine the downtown CPFA. Rick Snyder is again the coordinator of what they refer to as the Food Court. Most of the food choices are arranged together in an arc near the southern curve of the festival. Only a few booths, Packer's Lemonade, Shaved Ice and Cowboy Kettle Korn, are in more remote locations.
I will start with the obvious red and white Synder's stands in the Food Court. They do have a Pizza only stand which almost always has plain cheese and the French Fries only stand used a soy oil. They also offer a cheese sauce on their fries.
The Polish Platter and fried vegetable booth, although it was safe as of noon on Thursday, could not guarantee that any of their fried vegetables might not share oil with the chicken fingers. They do try to keep them all separate but were honest to admit if one of their fryers broke they would have to share the cooking duties to all of the vats. Their Polish Platter sounds like a safe bet but the "Stuffed Cabbage" aka "Cabbage Roll" has ground beef in it. It is safe to get what they call The Sampler which is a bowl of Haluski with single a Pierogi on top.
I had The Sampler and it is what you would expect, a big dish of starchy comfort. I opted to have mine with some sautéed onions on top. The pierogi stuffing was tasty and cheesy but the whole dish was too greasy and bland. Barbarian that I am, I added pepper and ketchup but still only I ate about 2/3.
The safest booth for anything other than a dessert was the Roasted Corn on the Cob and Loaded Potatoes. Don't be put off by the "bacon bits" which are soy based, the loaded potatoes also have the toppings of sour cream, cheese, chives and jalepeños. The roasted corn is served with its husk on as a handle and can be dripping with butter if you choose.
The most unique yet biggest disappointment was the Sweet & Savory Crêpes stand. I am sure the Nutella and Fruit options are great but they totally spoiled the Vegetable Cheese Crêpe by cooking the veggies right on the grill with the meats. So much fun to watch and it sounded delicious. What a bummer!
To conclude, I can't say any of the food at either festival is particularly good nor good for your health. My goal has been to share what research I did to help vegetarians make more informed choices. As always, things may change and I am human and make errors. Please let me know if you find any different information.

Cask; Regular. Also available bottle conditioned.
Cauldron Snout was originally brewed at the High Force Hotel in Forest-in-Teesdale. When the brewery closed the brand was passed onto Darwin to keep the legend alive. Cauldron Snout is often classed as a strong stout, but in reality was brewed as a dark old ale to help warm up the cold winter nights in Teesdale.
A prize winning old ale. Dark and complex with a solid body lingering into a long aftertaste. Bitterness is perfectly matched to the dark malts with persist to provide a spicy and peaty ending.
Old Ale
Old Ale is a simple enough style to figure out. At least, once you understand that there are three or four beer styles called Old Ale. The first is the best known - the strong dark Old Peculier style. The second type of Old Ale is a blended dark ale. At least one of the beers comprising the blend will be aged for a couple of years in wood casks. The third version of Old Ale is a form of mild – a low-gravity dark ale. Another version of Old Ale is closely related to the first. For me, these are robustly malty beers, akin to a top-fermented version of a doppelbock.

The reactions of cinnamyl chloride and crotyl chloride with various aldehydes, RCHO; R=Me, Et, iPr, CH₃(CH₂)₅, PhCH₂, Ph, p-MeOPh, p-NCPh, to form homoallylic alcohols under the control of Sn-Al, Cr(II), Zn and Mg were examined and the stereochemistry of the products determined. Stereoselectivity and regioselectivity of these reactions are compared and explained with reference to cyclic and linear mechanisms and the metal involved, frontier molecular orbital energies and molecular modelling experiments. An attempt was made to extend control of the relative stereochemistry of the Sn-Al reaction to systems with more than two contiguous carbon centers. The aldehydes, RCH(CH₃)CHO; R=Me, Ph, tBu, reacting with cinnamyl chloride under control of Sn-Al resulted in moderate Cram selectivity, this diastereofacial selectivity increasing with the bulk of the aldehydes' R group. Glyceraldehyde gave very poor diastereofacial selectivity. Dialdehydes terephthaldecarboxaldehyde and glyoxal were reacted with cinnamyl chloride mediated by Sn-Al and the relative stereochemistries of the major products deduced. Competition experiments of crotyl bromide and cinnamyl chloride with aryl aldehydes, p-R-C₆H₄CHO; R=H, Me, MeO, NC, O₂N, under the control of tin mediated conditions (Sn-Al) and of crotyl organotin and cinnamyl organotin (allylic-SnL₃; L=Ph, nBu) catalysed by either BF₃.OEt₂ or heat were carried out and the results of these experiments discussed in the light of frontier molecular orbital theory. Molecular mechanics calculations were performed to evaluate the steric stability of rotamers of threo and erythro homoallylic alcohols and these used in association with electronic effects to explain the diastereoselectivity of the linear mechanism. Conformational analysis using MM calculations were undertaken in an attempt to rationalize the stereoselectivity at the cyclic transition state. Synthetic pathways to β,γ-epoxy ketones were explored and the synthesis of 38, 44, and 50 effected by a number of different paths to maximize yields; the diastereoselectivities of the epoxidations of intermediate hydroxy and acetoxy alkenes was investigated.

Overall health insurance policy isn't going to commonly address aesthetic surgery as an example physique contouring. It has confirmed to generally be successful floor for plastic surgeons. Escalating numbers of plastic surgeons are dedicating at slightest element, if not all, in their techniques to bettering the free pores and skin dilemma induced by body contouring . Body contouring removes undesirable fatty areas and extra folds of skin. Liposuction and excision are classified as the most general approaches used to form the human body. System contouring procedures are executed to reform entire body structures to develop actual physical visual appeal and assurance
Body-contouring surgeries comprise the well-liked tummy tuck, as well as the lifting and tightening of pores and skin someplace that it truly is free and sagging. Common parts for body-contouring contain breasts, arms, thighs, and the normal reduced human body. Women of all ages use human body contouring to treat several various parts. Essentially the most prevalent tend to be the hips, thighs, belly, and buttocks. Gentlemen most generally receive treatment with the chest, stomach, midsection, chin, neck and enlarged breasts. Considering the fact that physique contouring is main surgical procedures, some hazards are engaged. Some soreness, inflammation and bruising are normal for 2 to three weeks just after medical procedures. Following immense fat decline within a short period of time, pores and skin isn't going to preserve its shape, parting the affected person with surplus, baggy skin. Exactly what is additional, sufferers eliminate different quantities of human body unwanted fat prior to the weight reduction amounts, leaving them slim, moderate, or still major. Even though prior body-contouring strategies worked effectively on lesser patients who had gastric bypass surgical treatment, much larger individuals habitually had evident blemishes above and underneath the underwear location right after surgical procedure, as well as skin that didn't correspond nicely to the entire body.
A number of procedures can be proposed to perform your goals for any much more young-looking, contoured body. System contouring goals could be attained in a single surgical session or could be extra diligently carried out in phases depending on your general health and fitness, the form and restrict of techniques staying deemed in addition to the conclusion from conversations and solutions by your plastic surgeon through the entire dialogue system. Developments in your body's figure and total image could possibly be acquired by condensing excessive fat and tissue..
Entire body contouring surgical operation normally takes inside of a number of numerous system sculpting approaches used by aesthetic surgeons to reform around any component of the physique. Through human body sculpting surgical procedure, sufferers can properly eradicate excess body fat and skin which have been impassive to food plan and exercise. This floppy, slumped skin can produce cleanliness challenges and is particularly liable to abrasion, rashes, and infection. Surgical procedures to incise away and stiffen the excess skin have become considered one of the fastest-growing omnipresent beauty surgeries during the United states. Cosmetic physique contouring surgical procedures seeks to boost the shape, contours, and proportions with the system via surgical treatment.

(Well, okay, this weekend won't be totally project-less… you guys know me better than that.)
Every Saturday these ladies host a blog hop called Home Style Saturdays with all kinds of helpful decorating projects and advice, and I'm so thrilled to co-host with them this week.
And if you missed it yesterday, I shared a post I've been meaning to write forever! If you've been struggling with figuring out your decorating style, I hope this one helps get you on the right track.

Hmmmm. T-Mobile is conspicuously NOT going after Victoria's Secret and its Pink brand...Lemonade does use a lot of magenta in its branding — though Schreiber insists it's actually pink — and T-Mobile was essentially saying: Hey, back off our color.
I'd say that failure to protect this "pink" color is on DT, and they've already lost.

Scientists have detected a crack in Earth's magnetic shield
"Scientists have been investigating one of the most powerful geomagnetic storms in recent history, and they've discovered that our protective barrier isn't as secure as we thought it was. Turns out, our magnetosphere has been cracked."
Can Solar Flares Hurt Astronauts?
"In a nutshell, cosmic rays are bad. Especially in large, long-term doses. Now the astronauts aboard the ISS are still well within Earth's protective magnetic field and so are shielded from much of the cosmic radiation that passes through our solar system daily. And, strangely enough, when solar flares occur – such as today's – the amount of cosmic radiation the ISS encounters actually decreases."
What Are Cosmic Rays?
"Cosmic rays are atom fragments that rain down on the Earth from outside of the solar system. They blaze at the speed of light and have been blamed for electronics problems in satellites and other machinery. First discovered in 1912, many things about cosmic rays remain a mystery more than a century later."

The brutal slaying last week of 13 Chinese sailors on Southeast Asia's main artery, the Mekong River, highlights a burgeoning drug problem, cross-border crimes, and increasing business rivalries in the region as China revs up its investments.
The bloody massacre has infuriated China so much that it has suspended its ships from plying the Mekong and summoned its envoys from Laos, Burma, and Thailand in Beijing to register official protest over the Oct. 5 incident.
On Thursday, China's Vice Foreign Minister Song Tao told the three envoys to "step up their investigation, get to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible, report their findings to China in a timely manner and ... severely punish the assailants," according to a statement on the ministry's website.
The victims, crew of two Chinese cargo ships, were believed killed by a gang in the notorious drug-smuggling "Golden Triangle" area straddling the three countries taken to task by China.
The men were found with their hands tied behind their backs, blindfolded with adhesive tape and shot or with their throats slit, according to Chinese and Thai media this week. Their bodies were found near Chiang Rai in northern Thailand.
Both boats were seized by Thai authorities after a gun battle with the hijackers and among the cargo found were nearly a million amphetamine tablets—a powerful stimulant—worth 100 million baht (U.S. $3.22 million).
Thai army officials suspect a gang run by Burmese ethnic Shan drug trafficker Nor Kham was behind the attacks, according to the Bangkok Post. The gang allegedly demands protection money from ships it hijacks on the Mekong and kills crew members who refuse to cooperate.
Business rivalry
The grisly killings underscore increased business rivalries—from shipping to gambling to the drug trade—as China steps up investments in Southeast Asian nations along the Mekong, experts and ethnic group representative say. The river runs through Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, Burma and Thailand from its source in China's Tibetan plateau.
"The only thing I know that could possibly be related is that Chinese cargo boats tend to monopolize the river trade and this is resented by local shippers. But this in itself probably isn't a factor so much as the fact that most boats are Chinese," Richard Cronin, the director of the Southeast Asia program at Stimson Center, an independent research institute in Washington, told RFA.
A total of 116 of the 130 ships engaged in international shipping on the Mekong River are operated by Chinese companies, according to the Lancang River Maritime Affairs Bureau, China's Xinhua state news agency reported.
The Mekong is known in China as the Lancang River.
Highlighting Beijing's concerns, a group of Chinese patrol vessels set out for Thailand along the Mekong River on Thursday to escort 164 stranded Chinese sailors and 28 cargo ships back home.
Cronin pointed out that Burma's Shan state, through which the mighty Mekong passes and where drug lord Naw Kham operates, has limited government presence amid a roaring drug trade.
"There are few who doubt the involvement [direct or indirect] of Naw Kham, the godfather of the protection ring whose members have been collecting fees from ships and traders crisscrossing and plying the Mekong" from China's Yunnan province to Thailand's Chiang Saen, and "shooting those who refuse to play by his rules," said a report by the Shan Herald Agency for News, a nonprofit group in Shan state.
The agency said information received from "several knowledgeable people" in the area illustrated "a grim picture of business rivalry among the local entrepreneurs."
One account linked the incident to a large casino—the Kings Romans Casino—operated by Chinese tycoon Zhao Wei in Laos and which was at the center of a large drug bust by Laotian and Chinese officials two weeks before the Mekong murders.
The casino has "damaged" other gambling businesses in the area, notably those established inside Burma, the agency said.
Previously, it said, Zhao Wei had operated the Landong casino in Burma's Mongla, the seat of the National Democratic Alliance Army (NDAA), a Shan armed ethnic group which has forged a ceasefire with the Burmese government and which has come under intense grilling by Chinese authorities since the Mekong incident.
The Burmese government also has come under fire for turning a blind eye to the illicit and thriving drug trade that has fueled serious crimes.
The Chinese sailors' killings "show that Burma is not even mildly serious about combating the savage drug gangs," a critical editorial this week in the Bangkok Post said.
"Now that China has been dragged so brutally into the problem, the region must put far heavier pressure on Burma to clean up this problem," it said.
Enforcement in the isolated areas along the Mekong River is another headache.
"Because of the very remote nature of that length of the river, there's little official enforcement or regulation there," said Andrew Walker, senior fellow at the College of Asia and the Pacific of Australian National University.
"[T]here's been reports for some time of various rebel groups in Burma, for example, demanding protection money from these boats using the river and also sometimes using Chinese boats to smuggle drugs—in particular amphetamines—into Thailand," he told Radio Australia.
Primary drug threat
In fact, amphetamine-type stimulants have emerged as the primary illicit drug threat in several East and Southeast Asian countries, displacing plant-based drugs such as heroin, opium, and cannabis, according to a report last month by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
"The expansion of the ATS [amphetamine] drug trade and the associated high criminal profits pose an increasing threat to security and public health in our region," said Gary Lewis, UNODC regional representative for East Asia and the Pacific.
In four countries of the Greater Mekong subregion—Laos, Burma, Thailand, and China—there was a four-fold increase in methamphetamine (amphetamine's parent drug) pills seized—from 32 million to 133 million—in just three years between 2008-2010, according to UNODC.
At the same time, the amount of amphetamine produced in the region has increased dramatically. Using the proxy indicator of laboratories seized, UNODC said the number of amphetamine labs seized in Southeast Asia rose from 49 in 2005 to 458 in 2009.
Amid the growing drug threat and cross-border crimes, the Chinese seamen's killings may prod China to push for stiffer international enforcement along the Mekong River areas.
"The tragic event should be taken as a clarion call for forming a transnational security mechanism at a sub-regional level so that drug trafficking and other organized crimes can be rigorously eradicated in the area and personnel and cargo safety along the Mekong can be guaranteed," said a China Daily editorial.

Gift Box printing:(1) 157gsm C1S or C2S plus matte lamination mounted on 2.50mm CCNB board. (2) 2-piece unfolding style, a lid and tray.
Main Materials Introductions to Gift Box Printing Jobs (1 & 2):
1. CCNB Board
CCNB means Clay Coated News Back. As a paperboard made of recycled paper pulp, CCNB has one side coated white color, and another side uncoated grey color. The side coated is available to print full colors, if the coating is good, then the colors printed should be also good accordingly, Another side uncoated is also okay for printing, but the result is not good because of uncoating and coarse surface. As a main board material, CCNB is usually used for packaging printing, such as shoe boxes, gift boxes, packaging boxes and folding boxes etc. The base weight of CCNB could be 230gsm - 500gsm and 0.5mm - 3mm.
CCNB board is the main material for gift box printing jobs. It is wrapped by surfacing paper on grey side, and the white side is inside of box, so it is not necessary to apply lining paper any more, which could save much production time and costs. But for some deluxe gift boxes, the lining paper could also be applied to make a colorful inner of box. The thickness is normal above 0.5mm for gift boxes. The 230gsm - 500gsm CCNB is regularly for folding box printing jobs.
2. SBS (90gsm - 350gsm)
SBS means C2S, two sides coated art paper. Two sides are both white and smooth, so the printing could be applied on both sides. The paper is also very suitable for printing because of good coating on two surfaces. Not like CCNB board, SBS is not very heavy, 90gsm to 350gsm is popular for this kind of paper. As a main surfacing paper mounted on CCNB, SBS normally is available to 128gsm and 157gsm. 90gsm - 157gsm SBS is very popular for book printing jobs. Over 157gsm SBS are workable for folding box printing jobs. When the SBS works as surfacing paper, it should be laminated after printing to strengthen.
If only one side is coated for art paper, we normally call it as C1S (one side coated art paper). C1S are normally used for wrapping paper printing and gift box printing jobs. The inks and laminator are applied to coated side, then another side uncoated is mounted over CCNB or grey board. 128gsm and 157gsm are workable for this kind of jobs. But for this paper 157gsm - 400gsm, regularly it is used for deluxe folding box printing jobs.

Most hydroponic applications recommend complete changes of nutrient solution every week. At AeroGrow, we spent years testing and designed our gardens to grow wonderfully even if you NEVER do a full nutrient change. That's a pretty big deal!
But that doesn't mean it can't grow even better. Through testing in our labs, we've seen significantly better growth with what we call a "rinse and refill". Here's how to do it:
Once a month when the nutrient light comes on, use our specially sized siphon to quickly and easily drain all the water and nutrient solution from the water bowl into a sink or a bucket. Add fresh water and nutrients as usual, then click the 'Reset' button to reset the nutrient timer. That's it! Nutrients perfectly balanced! It's easy and takes less than 5 minutes, and you can do it without spilling a drop of water or disturbing your plants. Best of all, you'll see a difference in the health, vitality, and lifespan of your plants.
If you don't have a siphon, simply lift the water bowl out of the base and empty the water into a sink or bucket, and proceed as above.

Just a quick pic. I saw some pics posted like this elsewhere with the grip off and the mag in. Kind of neat, almost like a cutaway.
14EH AIT Instructor-PATRIOT Fire Control Enhanced Operator/Maintainer
So, I did a re-paint of the red in the F position on my P38. Thought I would do this for safety purposes at the range as it had no paint left in it. Had a couple of people ask me what the safe/fire position was.
I used Apple Barrel acrylic craft paint from Walmart as suggested on the P38 forums. .50 cents a bottle! It's Matte Flag Red 21469E. Came out pretty good I think.

SPRINGFIELD — No injuries were reported Wednesday afternoon after a home at 172 Belmont Ave. was hit by gunfire.
Police were summoned by the city's ShotSpotter gunfire detection system about 2:30 p.m.
Ryan Walsh, spokesman for Springfield police, said nobody was home at the time. Some of the home's siding had been removed, apparently as part of the investigation.
Police, who responded to the scene with multiple units, temporarily closed that stretch of Belmont Avenue while they investigated. Detectives continue to investigate.
