I happened to drop by The Independent website and found this story about leg lengthening in China. I've also heard stories about kids being given plastic surgery to make them look more Western if they do well in their exams. Recently, the government declared a ban on the advertising of certain medical services, although I'm not sure whether that extends to banning the services themselves. I've seen a poster in town a few times which I'm sure is advertising implants.
To get back to the original story, the generation of kids I'm teaching will definitely be taller than their parents, and certainly many of them are as tall as me or taller (including some of the girls; then again, by current Western standards I'm about average height, which is still not quite as tall as we'd all like to think). On the other hand, I've also had quite a few pupils who are, well, very petite. There are quite a few old women around this district who are very short indeed.
Today's big news is, of course, the sentencing of Saddam Hussein. Although I don't agree with the death penalty, it's hard not to say that he's getting what he richly deserves. On the other hand, he can only be executed once. If you think of the human rights abuses that occurred during his dictatorship, you want his death to be slow and lingering – dank dungeon in which he can't even sit down, inadequate food and sanitation, rats, sleep deprivation, etc. You really want him to suffer for all the suffering he's caused.
At least he's going to be punished. Pol Pot escaped that; so did Mao, Hitler, Stalin, Kim Il-Jong and too many tyrants who are a disgrace to the human race.
There are questions over the fairness of the trial, but I doubt whether Saddam ever let fairness kept him awake at night when it came to the callous disposal of the lives of others. He got a trial. How many people skipped straight to the execution part?

Purpose: The bystander effects of radiation are well documented. However, it is shown that many cell lines that respire anaerobically do not show cytotoxic bystander effects. There is no existing data on the acute hypoxia-induced bystander effects. The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of radiation-induced bystander effect in normoxic, hypoxic and normoxic-hypoxic mixed conditions that are equivalent to in vivo tumor compartments as well as acute hypoxia-induced bystander effect. Methods: Two lung cancer cell lines, A549 and H460 were used. The cells were exposed either to real hypoxia (< 2 % oxygen) for 3 days or incubated in normoxic conditions and then irradiated (2 or 10Gy) after changing the media. After 24h (irradiated and unirradiated cells were continued to be in the hypoxic or normoxic environment respectively), unirradiated hypoxic (H-CM) or normoxic (N-CM) conditioned media and irradiated hypoxic (H-RCM) or normoxic (N-RCM) conditioned media was collected and cells were incubated with fresh media for another 24h before collecting the second respective CM. Unirradiated normoxic cells were exposed to H-CM, N-CM, H-RCM or N-RCM and cell growth was monitored dynamically in real time using real time cell electronic sensing system (RT-CES). Results: Our preliminary results in A549 cells showed that H-RCM was much more effective in inducing growth delay compared to N-RCM. For all the treatments except for 2Gy N-RCM, which promoted slight cellular growth, RCM induced significant growth delay compared to CM. Further, as expected N-RCM obtained after 10Gy irradiation was more cytotoxic/cytostatic than 2Gy N-RCM.
Interestingly, H-RCM obtained after 2Gy and 10Gy irradiation did not show significant differences in the growth delay of A549 cells. During the first 48h under real hypoxic conditions (24 or 48h H-CM), the H-CM promoted slight increase in cellular growth followed by significant growth delay which were most pronounced at 96h. When, in addition to the bystander factors, the cells were exposed to 2Gy direct irradiation, the growth was severely affected. Currently, we are performing these experiments in more radiosensitive cell line, H460 and also investigating the effects of acute hypoxia and mixed normoxia-hypoxia on generation of bystander effects. Conclusions: The findings from this study demonstrate for the first time that irradiation of hypoxic cells and exposing the cells to acute hypoxia lead to significant bystander effect that has important clinical implications.

Russia Warns Other States against Interfering in South China Sea Dispute: Envoy
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Russia avoids interfering in the territorial dispute around the South China Sea and is warning other states against doing so as such intervention could result in a negative effect, Russian Ambassador to China Andrey Denisov said.

- Comments
A number of disputed islands, including the Paracel Islands and the Spratly Islands, are located in the South China Sea. Beijing's territorial claims to the Spratly Islands, known as the Nansha Islands in China, which are believed to be rich in oil and gas reserves, run counter to those of the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia, Brunei and Vietnam.
"Our position regarding the territorial disputes in the South China Sea has not changed and cannot change. It cannot change as it is a balanced, verified and logical position… We are not interfering in these disputes and we are warning others against such interference," Denisov told reporters, according to Sputnik.
According to the ambassador, any external interference will have a negative effect, as a third party is unable to maintain neutrality is a specific regional dispute and will only complicate the issue.
"We appreciate this high level of partnership with all participants of these discussions — China, Vietnam and other Southeast Asia states. And we intend to continue this line," Denisov said, adding that Russia is ready to help create a favorable atmosphere for solving such issues.

Flexing His Fundraising Muscle
Mitt Romney's campaign flexed its fundraising muscle yesterday in a national "Call-A-Thon" that solicited donations from Romney friends and financial supporters. Romney's camp blew past its stated goal of $1 million by 11am and went on to raise, according to the Salt Lake Tribune, more than $7 million before the day was through. To remain competitive, Romney will need to sustain this fundraising prowess (some estimate he will need to pull in $100 million this year alone), but by any measure this fundraising kick-off was a stunning success that seems to resolve any doubts of whether Romney could contend with John McCain and Rudy Giuliani financially.

october 4 - s.l.e.e.p
having my dinner as i write. today has been hectic from start to finish - after resistantly opening up my eyes at 7am, i've had a lot of school, a lot of work - no sleep. grabbed food with anna and xristos at spice, then took a trip further downtown to groundsupport - a café in soho with amazing coffee and a fun crowd.
so, a funny thing happened on the subway today:
anna hopped off the train and i stayed on since i get off after her. when she had gotten off, two older ladies (around 70) got on and one of them was blind. polite as i am when it comes to old people, i scooted over and made room for both of them. four girls were standing in front of me and one was making a move toward the seat that i had made free for the blind old lady. when the ladies sat down, this immature cocky girl started calling the old lady a fucking bitch and upon that me as well. i didn't mind that she called me a bitch, i really didn't - but don't call a blind and old lady a bitch just because she is old and less capable of standing on a moving train than you are?
they kept discussing what a bitch i was and finally i decided to just stare back at this girl, because i started getting really annoyed with them due to their impoliteness. so, when i got eye contact i simply told her, in a calm voice (everyone should be proud): "there's no need to be rude." her response was obviously as mature as a fetus in a woman's womb: "stop fucking looking at me," when they got off at the next stop the middlefinger was on display, as well as vajeyjey-stroking while screaming: "you can suck my dick, bitch."
a woman took their place and was as discombobulated as i was. after speaking for a while, we came to a mutual conclusion - there is something really wrong with that generation.
just wanted to share with you how polite and well-mannered today's kids are.
no wonder i don't like them...
time for me to be productive before watching 90210 and passing out,
to all you "bitches,"
speak your mind!

What is hyperthyroidism?
This is a medical condition which occurs when you have an overactive thyroid causing the thyroid gland to produce too much of thyroxine. The thyroid gland is an organ located in the front of your neck and releases hormones that control your metabolisms such as weight, breathing, heart rate, body temperature and nervous system.
People with:
Your doctor will diagnose you based on symptoms and physical exam. Other tests that may be ordered for further diagnosis include:
These are drugs prescribed to inhibit the production of thyroid hormones. They are also known as thyrostatics. Thyroid tissue usually contains quite a substantial reserve of thyroid hormone and once thyrostatic are administered it can take weeks to become effective. In addition, the dose needs to be carefully titrated over some months, with regular visits to the doctor and blood tests to monitor results so as to prevent hypothyroidism.
Surgery can be performed to remove a part of the thyroid or the whole thyroid a procedure known as a thyroidectomy. However, this is not extensively used because most common forms of hyperthyroidism are quite effectively treated by other methods.
Radioactive iodine treatment is used to destroy the thyroid tissue. Initially, symptoms of hyperthyroidism may worsen following the treatment. This is because thyroid hormones are released into the blood following the radioactive iodine treatment. However, medications such as beta blockers may be useful during this period of time and most patients are able to tolerate the initial few weeks without any problems.

So I wanted to bust out an instance real quick on my baby Pallie, get my lovely tokens. So I entered one of those silly spider instance Anuk'crap The Old Dirty Bastard Kingdom or something like that.
There was a hunter, Now I hate dealing with pet classes in this instance, because then I have to kill 3 extra packs of mobs, but we start the instance. I noticed I'm losing aggro, to the damn pet. A wolf named Wolf. How droll.
I asked nicely, "Please…Please turn Growl off" Think it's growl, I avoid Hunters like the plague.
After a couple pulls, still happening. I snap…"Listen you fricking Huntard, you had at least 73 levels to learn how to turn shit off, and to name your stupid pet. Now I don't care if your too lazy to give a name to your pet, but for the love of all that is holy turn off your pet's ability to pull aggro, before it fucks shit up"
Nothing screams Huntard then an unnamed pet, it drives me into a PMS like rage….Some reason he left. Oh well no big lost, got a mage that loved to blow his wad in first 2 seconds……/facepalm
7 Responses to "Tales of a Tanking Bitch"
Unnamed pets make me sadface. D:
I am the opposite…I always have it off and forget to turn it back on when it matters…like soloing… /facepalm
I try not to blow my wad in the first two seconds.

I wish people would stop asking me if I've been watching the Olympics. I'm about to take a very unpopular stance here but, I HATE THE OLYMPICS AND I ALWAYS HAVE! I'm not interested in sports. I don't care if other people want to spend their spare time watching or playing whatever game they like, that's cool. I just have other interests (of coarse I read so I'm a minority there) and I lucked out in finding one of the few men on the planet that feels the same way I do. The Olympics however piss me off and here's a list detailing why.
#1. They preempt shows I want to watch.
#2. When I was in school we ALWAYS got an assignment which forced us to watch an event and write about it. Simple rule; if it's homework it's boring.
#3. No one has any other topics to discuss.
#4. Being the best at Synchronized swimming or Pole Vaulting does not define a country. Come on if you honestly feel that the most important people in your country are the same ones wearing leotards you need to review your priorities.
#5. These aren't even cool sports. If the Olympics didn't exist you wouldn't even be able to name a famous gymnast or ice skater.
End rant.

About two weeks ago, I criticized Jeffrey Rosen for a profile of potential Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. Purporting to be "The Case Against Sotomayor," the article was over-reliant on unnamed sources and included an admission that her opinions had not been studied to the degree necessary "to have a confident sense of them." At the time, I could hardly believe that Rosen would have tolerated a similar article - cloaked in anonymity, without regard for his actual writing - directed at himself. As it turned out, there was a bit of a pile on, then a response from Rosen, and then a second round of criticism. Now we have the second profile of a potential nominee from Rosen, and it should be stated - the major deficiencies of the Sotomayor piece are not repeated.
Rosen's latest, a profile on Judge Diane Wood titled "The Conciliator," is -- first and foremost -- replete with on the record sources. And while it relies heavily on the faculty of the University of Chicago's law school, Rosen still manages to capture Wood in a nice diversity of settings -- you get a feel for Wood's courtroom demeanor, and her classroom inquisitiveness. Her passion for teaching and service is well depicted in a trip abroad to India. And the Almanac of the Federal Judiciary which Rosen cited in his response to the Sotomayor profile, but not in the profile, is properly referenced here.
Secondly, the piece is not the over-reaching "Case Against" that the first one claimed to be despite its admissions of inadequacy. Although it should be said, this piece may swing too far in the other direction, as a potential "Case For" Wood. I find Rosen's piece to nevertheless be far less definitive. And if it is declarative, Rosen at least puts himself in the picture, as opposed to letting unnamed sources run wild. Rosen notes his "enthusiastic" advocacy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's nomination ("Of all the candidates Clinton considered," Rosen says, "Ginsburg was the most respected by liberals and conservatives and the most likely to win over the swing justices.") and sets about making a comparison to Wood:
When Clinton appointed Wood to the appellate court, she was little known outside the legal academy--unlike Ginsburg at the time of her appellate nomination. I lamented the fact that Clinton was not appointing more "legal scholars with national reputations"--scholars "of the caliber of Ginsburg and Breyer, his superb Supreme Court nominees," in order to create a deep bench of "liberal intellectuals who could challenge the conservatives." (Indeed, if President Clinton had appointed to the appellate courts scholars such as Stanford's Pam Karlan and Kathleen Sullivan, both of whom would make stellar justices, President Obama might find it easier today to appoint them to the Supreme Court.)
But I underestimated Wood. After nearly 14 years on the appellate court, she has proved to be such an impressive match for her conservative colleagues that it appears that, of all the current Supreme Court candidates, her temperament and moderate, incremental liberalism most resemble Ginsburg's.
There's one other thing that bears mention. Ever since President Barack Obama broached the subject of empathy, there's been a lot of discussion about it in the news and among politicians, most of it being shallow nonsense from wide-eyed simpletons. Rosen, to my mind, finds a couple different ways of demonstrating how empathy actually should be a part of the discussion, and how it actually works in the hands of a judge:
"She is very careful, she is respectful of precedent, she is a craftsperson, and she is fairly incremental in her approach," says Geoffrey Stone of the University of Chicago and the author of a book on the suppression of speech during war. "I think she does believe that the role of judges, in part, is to ensure that the oppressed and the disenfranchised and dissenters get a fair shake in the political system, which would be a significant part of the moderate liberal element of Diane. But she's certainly not in any way result-oriented."
I think that Rosen does a fine job, advancing the virtues of empathy here -- and a good job distinguishing between the consideration for others that informs judgment with the need for an end product that passes legal muster. Time -- and subsequent profiles -- will determine if criticism has altered Rosen's approach or if this profile reads differently simply because its subject is a candidate who Rosen clearly favors. Nevertheless, it can be fairly stated that Rosen has gone to great lengths to avoid the more glaring sins of the Sotomayor piece.

New Team Name.
Last year when our long distance cycling team completed their 10 day LEJOG the team was known as the RevPro Cycling Team. This name reflected the fact that all the team members were part of SWT Revenue Protection Team based here at Bournemouth. Time moves on and situations change and now (in some part due to the 'credit crunch') all team members have either been displaced or been made redundant. As far as I am concerned my last day of employment will be on Friday 15th May. Due to this change in our fortunes (or misfortunes) we felt that a new team name was required. From today we are now known as TEAM 219 . The number 219 represents the combined ages of the four team members. Our major ride this year will be a trip down through France and into Spain in June. Further details concerning this ride can be found by following the Team 219 link on this page.

Interview with Bourdages Photography's Emilie Bourdages
Whether a picture is worth 100 words, 1,000 words, or 10,000 words – you can't overestimate the importance of an effective image. From an online dating website to a commercial about a fast foodrestaurant, a single image can result in an action by the intended audience. As someone who found my wife due to an online dating website, I can credit professional headshots with assisting me in getting an introduction to my soul mate.
Due to the growth of social media, our online appearance can be just as important, or even more important than our in-person image due to how many people view online profiles including decision makers. While a grainy profile picture might not look as bad to a potential employer as an image of you taking body shots off of a friend at a St. Patrick's Day party, your profile picture should reflect your attention to detail and professionalism.
Emilie Bourdages is a professional photographer and owner of Bourdages Photography, which is based out of Roseville, California. She specializes in professional business portraits, corporate, and executive headshots. I interviewed Emilie about her business, her start as a photographer, and the importance of having a professional headshot.
Michael Luchies: How did you get started as a photographer?
Emilie Bourdages: A family member put a camera in my hand at the age of five. I was their shadow from that point on. We went on lots of photo adventures. As I practiced daily, I kept craving more, and people kept telling me I should do this full-time because I was born to do this. After much hesitation I started up. I had a very experienced mentor, who still offers valuable support today. Now I'm a busy entrepreneur, I have my own photography business that is flourishing; I'm freelancing for several publications, and serving as a Director on the board for Sacramento Valley Portrait Professionals.
ML: What inspired you to start Bourdages Photography?
EB: People. I love people. Through working in business services for over ten years I had thousands of interactions with really great people. When customers started to value my work and even cry over how amazing they look in their business headshots, I knew it was right. I produce something that is so valuable on occasion people tip me more than the session even costs. That is very unexpected, but reassuring. With all the encouragement from others I pursued my dream of being a professional photographer and don't let anything get in my way. I absolutely love it!
ML: Many photographers focus on weddings and high school senior photographs, why do you place such an emphasis on business portraits and executive headshots?
EB: Weddings and Senior Portraits are great, but this empowers people and changes their lives by giving them that missing piece when they're job hunting or being looked at for a promotion. When recruiters look online it helps the job seeker come across as being somebody who cares about their professional appearance enough to invest in it. It takes your standard black and white resume and turns it into a real-life human being. When a hiring manager sees who you are, you stand out and become harder to forget amongst hundreds or even thousands of other applicants. Bottom line is you become a face instead of a piece of paper with words on it.
ML: Why should everyone have a professional headshot?
EB: It could be the difference between $40,000/yr. and the next level which maybe $120,000/yr. I have seen it with my clients, no joke. I think everyone should know to do this, and how important it is over the long run. People who are in executive positions have been strategically doing this for years, it is not sexy, but it is functional. If you could advance your career and give yourself a competitive edge, just by doing something this simple why wouldn't you, it pays off.
ML: What is wrong with having casual photographs as your picture for social networking profiles?
EB: Nothing is wrong with a casual photo. I've photographed business owners at their location on a casual level countless times. The thing is, professionals know professional work when they see it. If you have an amateur photo you'll be standing out from candidates who've done it the right way, with the proper professional equipment and lighting.
The people hiring are highly intelligent people. As much as I'd like to say go ahead and take a picture with your cell phone, you're not fooling anyone. It comes across as exactly as what it is AMATEUR.
ML: What tips would you give young professionals about their headshots and social networking profile pictures?
EB: I've talked to recruiter friends of mine about this quite a bit, often they won't even look at a person as a candidate unless they have a professional image on LinkedIn. If you don't have them yet, set them up ASAP and be consistent by using the same photo for all your social networking websites. Also, aside from what people may assume attractiveness, of a person actually makes no difference, what recruiters are wanting is to see the confidence the person conveys in their photo.
So get out there and find somebody to take your professional photograph! Invest in a nice outfit, something you would wear to an interview, and be confident that you are worth every penny of it!!
ML: How can people find out more about your work?
EB: If you're interested in seeing a small sample of my vast collection of work please visitwww.bourdagesphotography.com. I just rebuilt a fresh new site, I'd love to hear what you think!
After my interview with Emilie I immediately checked my online profile pictures to make sure they were what I wanted to present to the world. Although I am not currently searching for a job, you never know who is looking at you. If you are searching for a job, it is extremely important to give yourself every opportunity to shine above the people you are competing against. A professional headshot could be the difference between continuing your job search or landing that dream job you have been searching for. Thank you to Emilie Bourdages for her insight and for the interview.

The Road to Glendale Top 25....
I don't even think the purest college football enthusiasts could have pictured Glendale, Arizona as the host city for what will be the "biggest" game in college football history. Tempe was once an little known bowl city in Arizona until January 2, 1987. That night it hosted the biggest and most hyped national title game at the time, Penn State vs. Miami.
So why I am I calling this year's national title game, with unknown participants, the "biggest" game in college football history. Well, for the first time the national championship game will not be hosted by a traditional "bowl" game and it will be hosted in the most modern football stadium in the world. Of course this is still not a playoff, but it is a start in the right direction.
The road to Glendale will be easier for some teams than others, it is all about scheduling. Last year I pegged Texas as the 12th best team to make it to Pasadena. I ranked them 12th because the Longhorns had the toughest non-conference road game in the country last year, at Ohio State, had not beaten Oklahoma in Dallas the last five years, and I expected Texas A&M to have a great year and the Aggies hosted the Longhorns. I was wrong. Vince Young worked his magic to pull out the win in Columbus. Oklahoma was still trying to find its stride in early October, and Texas stomped the Sooners. A&M just sucked, as did my picks, for not having faith in the all-mighty Vince Young and Texas.
This year's road to a national title is wide open. Last season, USC was everybody's No. 1 team and rightfully so. The 2003 and 2004 national champions fulfilled its destiny by earning a bid to last year's Rose Bowl but fell just a short of its quest for a three-peat. Who has the easiest road to Glendale? This poll ranks the best teams, with the best shot (meaning talent vs. schedule), to make into the national title game.
- Auburn- I believe the Tigers are a top 3 team talent wise, couple that with a favorable schedule and Auburn has the easiest road, in my opinion, to reach Glendale. It helps that the Tigers were snubbed by the BCS two years ago. Added motivation and a little love from voters is always nice to have in your corner.
- Louisville- The Cards are borderline top 15 team in terms of talent, but their toughest games (Miami and West Virginia) are both in Papa John's Stadium. Louisville was unstoppable at home last year and this year's offense will compensate for the defensive short falls. The Cards had its troubles on the road last year and Kansas State and Pitt could be tricky road games. Auburn can afford one loss, but Louisville does not have that luxury, it must run the table to make it to Glendale.
- Southern Cal- The Trojans are reloading and although the schedule has some big games (at Arkansas, Nebraska, Cal and Notre Dame), USC should be favored in all its games. The first four games (at Arkansas, Nebraska, at Arizona and at Washington State) are tough but USC can afford an early season loss and still make it to Glendale.
- Texas- Despite losing Young, the Longhorns are still loaded. Ohio State has to come to Austin and the Oklahoma monkey is off their back. There is, however, two very tough road games back-to-back in October, at Nebraska and at Texas Tech.
- West Virginia- The Mountaineers are loaded, but can they run the table. No Big East team will make it to Glendale with one loss. Especially when you consider UWV's two toughest games are at the end of the year, at Louisville and at Pitt.
- Iowa- QB Drew Tate had an off year last year, but is still one of the top playmakers in the nation. The Hawkeyes host Ohio State and have only one really tough road game, at Michigan.
- Oklahoma- The Sooners have a manageable slate, but I am still not convinced the offense will able to move the ball with ease as the 2000-2004 teams. Games at Oregon and at Texas A&M will be tough for this squad and we will see October 7 if the Texas magic was just a one year wonder.
- Notre Dame- The defense is awful per se, but the offense will score points in bunches. The first five games (at Georgia Tech, Penn State, Michigan, at Michigan State and Purdue) is the toughest September schedule in the nation. And there is the season ending battle at USC. I can't see Notre Dame playing in Glendale if it loses its last game.
- Miami- If Miami can shake last year's Peach Bowl embarrassment and the new assistant coaches can make an impact, and then watch out for the 'Canes. The talent level is top five worthy and schedule is very favorable, but what about the mental makeup of this team? Florida State and Virginia Tech have to come to the Orange Bowl this year and although Louisville is tough road game, that game is winnable.
- Florida State- The offense has a chance to return to the glory days of Mark Richt's offensive schemes. The defense loses a bunch of talented starters but the schedule is "bookend". At Miami to start the year is tough, as is Florida at home to close the year, but everything in between is "easy".
- Ohio State- The Buckeyes are a top 5 team in terms of talent, but how I underestimated Texas last year, I might be underestimating Ohio State this year. There is no denying Troy Smith and the offense, but the defense loses nine starters. Texas and Iowa on the road is no easy task, even for one of the top teams in the country.
- LSU- The Tigers get no favors this year in their SEC schedule. If LSU had Auburn's schedule and vise versa, LSU would be my No. 1 team in this poll. The Tigers are loaded but road games at Auburn, Florida, Arkansas, and Tennessee will be too much for the Bayou Bengals to overcome. One loss maybe, but two losses means your road to Glendale is closed.
- Florida- Urban Meyer's second year has been magical at each of his previous coaching jobs. However, Bowling Green and Utah did not have to face the schedule the Gators will be facing this year: at Tennessee, at Auburn, vs. Georgia and at Florida State. Florida is a top 10 team, but could easily lose three to five games this year.
- California- The Bears road to Glendale has two major stops, one in Knoxville and the other in Los Angeles. They should be able to beat Tennessee early, but expecting a win at USC is a bit too much. The Pac 10 is very underrated, road games against Oregon State, Washington State and Arizona can not be taken lightly.
- Michigan- Last year I thought Michigan could be this year's favorite to win the national title, but two things have changed this thought. One, Michigan collapsed last year and lost five games, two, road games against Notre Dame and Ohio State fall into the un-winnable category this year.
- Georgia- The Dawgs have some key spots to fill, especially at quarterback, but still have the best running back unit in the nation. The schedule is also very manageable. Only two games can be considered difficult, vs. Florida and at Auburn. The World Largest Cocktail Party is a neutral site contest, and luckily for UGA the away team has always has success in the South's Oldest Rivalry, just ask Auburn about last year.
- Nebraska- The Cornhuskers are back. This team should win 10 games and if it can find away to beat Texas and win the Big 12 Championship game, Glendale is a possibility even with an early season loss at USC.
- Tennessee- The Volunteers are coming off their first losing season since 1988. David Cutcliff is back to run the offense and expectations are high on Rocky Top. Hosting Cal in the opener is not a good way for a 5-6 team to start the season. Win or lose, Tennessee should be able to take care of the rest of the home slate. The road games are not too bad, at Georgia is the biggie.
- Pittsburgh- The Panthers had an awful year last season. Tyler Palko is one of the best quarterbacks in the nation and I expect coach Dave Wannstedt to turn around the program this year. Pitt is a borderline top 25-30 team in terms of talent but it should be big favorites in all its road games. If Heinz Field becomes a legitimate home field advantage this year then Virginia, Michigan State, West Virginia and Louisville could all fall victims to a surprise Panther team.
- Virginia Tech- The Hokie defense will keep this team in every game until the offense rolls around. The only real difficult games are at Boston College and at Miami.
- Boston College- The Eagles will surprise many this year. This is a top 20 team but must travel to Miami and Florida State. I can not see Boston College doing any better than 10-2.
- Utah- The Utes ran the table in 2004 and were the first non-BCS school to crash the party. They have the talent to run the table this year and the schedule is a laugher. More importantly, Utah could start the season in the top 25, which is the most important element for a non-BCS school in search of a BCS bid. If no one else is unbeaten, Utah could be the first non-BCS school to play for the national title.
- Michigan State- If the Spartans can find a way to beat Notre Dame and Ohio State at home, then watch out.
- Boise State- The Broncos play a very weak schedule. There is no reason they should not go 12-0. But the once mighty Boise State offense is a step slower than it was with Ryan Dinwiddie running the show. Jared Zabransky has to stop turning the ball over if the Broncos expect to win at Utah and beat Fresno State and Oregon State on the blue turf. Even then, BSU has a snowball chance in hell to play in Glendale, unless it is the Fiesta Bowl.
- Kansas- The Jayhawks have the easiest schedule of any BCS conference school, including the Big East. The talent level is low compared to the rest of the Big 12's top teams but Kansas misses Texas, Oklahoma and Texas Tech from the Big 12 South and Nebraska will probably be the only game against a top 25 team. Mark Mangino has had success in Lawrence. The defense is a mess but by mid season this team should be good enough to win at least 8 games.
Navy is the sentimental pick. Games against Tulsa and at Stanford are challenging, but if the Middies can beat Notre Dame in Baltimore, how can you keep a 12-0 Navy team out of the national championship game in a time of war?

Title: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Rating: 4 Stars
I have to hand it to Marvel. They really do have the formula for making money down pretty pat. I'm not a huge fan of the Avenger's universe. I couldn't care less what happens in the X-Men universe. The Fantastic Four? eh…
However, they suck my wallet dry with the Guardians of the Galaxy. For whatever reason, it has the exact right combination of snark, slapstick, action, thwarted love interest, daddy problems, anti-hero, and overt, maudlin, violin-string schmaltz that makes me rush to the theater and leave oh so satisfied.
It clearly is a formula. I picture a room full of psychologists, comedians, and stunt coordinators, carefully designing a script via an extremely explicit deterministic process in a massive war room full of charts, graphs, and stop watches.
But, goddammit, it worked. I laughed and was thrilled, and a couple of times pieces of dust blew into my eyes.
Each character has a role. There is Drax, who is hilariously socially inept. You have the sociopathically amoral raccoon that of course has the secret heart of gold. You have the strong heroine, Gamora, not so secretly in love with Quill. You have Quill himself, the prototypical action hero who's actually a charming doofus.
And of course, you can't forget about Groot, the most adorable sentient plant to ever exist.
The charm of all of these characters is their emotional frailty and their uneasy dependence upon one another. They are a self-chosen family that probably at some level, we all wish that we could be a part of.
With the exception of Groot, they all have family problems. The most obvious is Quill, who feels abandoned by his father as he watched his mother die. He was then kidnapped and raised by a semi-father figure Yondu, who terrified him but yet raised him, albeit in a haphazard manner. In Vol 2, we get to meet Quill's real father, a god named Ego.
This is the main source of conflict in the film. You have Quill's real father finally coming into his life and offering him everything that he can imagine, but at a cost Quill pales from paying. In comes the reprobate thief, Yondu, to try to save Quill and be the father that he wishes that he could have been.
Will Quill choose the god-like Ego or will he choose the thieving but true Yondu? If you really think there's any doubt about his choice, then this might not be the movie for you.
Along with that, you have the two sisters, Gamora and Nebula, constantly at each other's throats, all because they both, even now, are themselves subconsciously competing against each other for their absent father's (Thanos) love.
It's not exactly subtle that the names of the fathers at the center of the plots are called Ego and Thanos. Thanos was the Greek god of death. The Latin meaning of the word Ego is I. Can there be two words that are more self-centered than I and death? The two names speak to the impossibility of ever understanding or getting succor from the father figure.
Parental loss is a common theme across comic books historically. Superman's parents died on the planet Krypton. Batman's parents were murdered. Batman became Robin's guardian after Robin's parents were murdered. The X-Men mutants are sent off to live at the X-Mansion. Tony Stark's (Ironman) parents are killed in a car wreck. Peter Parker (Spider-Man) lives with his uncle and aunt, and his uncle is then murdered.
This is not a coincidence. Clearly the comic superhero archetype has now gone mainstream, but remember that the original comic books were targeted at young boys. Breaking free of the parental bond, especially if the young boy reading the comics had a troubled relationship (or no relationship) with his parents must have made seductive reading. This was a major theme in Chabon's novel, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay.
With comic superheroes now gone mainstream quite literally around the world, the missing / troubled paternal relationship truly does seem to be a universal motif.
Having said all of that, it was a fun movie. I have no idea why Sylvester Stallone was in it, but thankfully his time was short. On the other hand, David Hasselhoff has a brilliant cameo.
Speaking of cameos, Stan Lee as usual makes one. In hindsight, it's obvious, but when you first hear of it, it seems amazing that Stan Lee is the greatest grossing movie star of all time. Clearly, the lesson to learn here for movie studios is that they need to cast Stan Lee in more movies.
So, you win again Marvel. Although I despise what you and your ilk are doing to the movie industry, I had a wonderful time watching Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 2.

Flea markets have lost sales just like everything else. Going back in time to the mid 90's (1995-1997), the markets were great. On Sundays I would make between $900-$1,500 in sales every Sunday. This is not so today unless you travel to different markets each week selling items people NEED and WANT at a true discount price versus retail store prices.
1. Review and compare all locations you are considering. This will take a lot of time. Remember, location, location, location is #1.
2. Go to the markets yourself as a buyer and see for yourself how the traffic is and talk to the professional vendors at least 2 or 3 times and get their advice on market conditions.
3. After you narrow down your choices to two markets, test them as a vendor at least 3 to 5 times each; then decide. You need a lot of buyers and not cheapskates that want everything for nothing.
4. You will find markets that seem busy with a lot of so-called buyers, but look at them closely to see what they are buying, if anything. Get a cup of coffee and sit down and observe the market. Take notes.
5. Back in the mid 90's my average profit was 100%, which was not bad for one day. I made an average of $1,000 for the day ($500 profit). Our dollar was worth more. In today's economy, if you average $300-$500 in sales, that is good. Today you cannot survive on profits of 100%; you need profits of 300%-800%. Profit on your core items, not the high end items which if you double your money at 100% profit, that is good. Core items are your items you sell all the time. Example – you sell sunglasses at $5.00 each or 2 for $9.00 with an average cost of $.64 – $1.00, profit margin is 500%-700%. Now you are making money. In order to make these margins you need to spend time locating sunglasses in the off season (winter months or from November through February). Wholesalers are more inclined to sell them at your price point. Remember you make the money when you buy not when you sell. Should you wait until March through June to purchase sunglasses your cost is going to be $1.25 – $1.75 each and there goes your profits down the drain. Try to buy larger quantities and stockpile them. They never go bad. Sunglasses are a seasonal item and the best months for sales are April through July at all markets.
6. More free merchandise: lawn mowers, weed wackers, snow blowers in the trash. Just pick them up and change the spark plugs, change the oil, sharpen the blades and clean them up. These make great sellers at outside markets. I know a vendor that sells only these items each and every Sunday. He goes to the same market every Sunday and makes $350-$800 each and every Sunday on free merchandise that people throw away. He only sells from March to November each year and earns several thousands of dollars in cash. This vendor only drives around his home town a few times a week picking up trash.
7. Final note — Make your plans now. Locate and/or purchase merchandise in the off season. Get prepared for the next season which is only a few months away. Buy your merchandise and try to buy the entire deals for pennies on the dollar. Sell off some of the excess merchandise to vendors out of your selling area. Do not sell to vendors in your market area. You can locate buyers on Craigslist or EBay or word of mouth.

Kurdistan has voted overwhelmingly to secede from Iraq, in a historic referendum which brings it one step closer to a century-old dream of statehood but risks fuelling a new regional conflict.
The referendum passed with 92.73 percent support and turnout of more than 72 percent of the 3.3 million registered to vote.
Hendrin Mohammed, the head of the Kurdish region's election commission, declared that out of the 3 million valid ballots, 2.9 million were for independence and 224,464 were against. The rest were spoiled or disregarded.

Author: David Owen
Publisher: Corsair
Published: May 2015

Genre: YA, Mental Health
Date read: 27th October 2015
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Life isn't going terribly well for Derrick; he's become severely overweight, his only friend has turned on him, he's hopelessly in love with a girl way out of his league, and it's all because of his sister. Her depression, and its grip on his family, is tearing his life apart. When rumours start to circulate that a panther is roaming wild in his south London suburb, Derrick resolves to try and capture it. Surely if he can find a way to tame this beast, he'll be able to stop everything at home from spiraling towards disaster?
Panther is a bold and emotionally powerful novel that deals candidly with the effects of depression on those who suffer from it, and those who suffer alongside them.
My thoughts:
I am finding it really difficult to review this book, as I am really not sure about it to be honest.. I think I saw one booktuber haul this a few months ago but havent seen much of this going around. I saw this at my local library and due to the striking red cover I remembered watching it being hauled. I didn't pick it up though for weeks, it was sitting in the same spot with no one reading it. So in the end I thought I would give it a go as it's quite short and I felt this book was calling out to me to be read. Plus I read it for #YASHOT which was hosted by fluttering butterflies but posting it way too late sorry!
It took me to the end of the book to realise that there is also a boy on the front cover aswell as a Panther.
Derrick is a very unhappy young man, since the sighting of a Panther in the area it seems everything has been going wrong for him, his older sister charlotte is suffering from depression and attempts to commit suicide, he has started eating to the extreme where he is literally eating out of a rubbish bin (this really made me cringe) and becomes severely overweight. To make matters worse his best friend dumps him and he becomes a target for bullies.
Derrick starts to become obsessed with catching this Panther. He believes that if he succeeds everything will return to normal, his sister will get better and attend university, he will lose the weight and his dad will return home and the fog that is looming of their household will clear.
Depression and Mental health issues can be a tricky subject to tackle and David Owen has done a great job. Depression is often termed as the black dog but I thought the way he used a panther/beast as the metaphor was perfect.
This book shows that it's not just the person with depression suffers, everyone around them also gets sucked in, home feels like a thick fog where everyone feels uneasy, conversations are being avoided and coping mechanisms are being exhibited, such as Derricks food obsession to remain in control and his mother's spending and buying stuff for Charlotte's move to University.
The panther/beast describes depression very well. At times this was difficult to read and Derrick wasnt the most likeable character but the book was interesting, well written and thought-provoking.
The only thing I wasn't sure about is that throughout the book, it's not really clear if the Panther is real or not and the ending just didn't satisfy me enough – I wanted more closure.
This is David Owens first Young Adult novel.
Overall I rate this 3.5 out 5 stars

Cranberry Orange Bars

Labels: Recipes
I bookmarked this recipe a long time ago and finally had the all the ingredients in my kitchen to make it. Well, I had dried cranberries and not fresh, but I figured I would try it anyways. They came out really good and were all gone in one day! Eventually I would like to try the recipe with fresh cranberries but I am afraid they might be tarter than when the dried cranberries are used. Overall they came out really good and that's all that really matters!
Cranberry Orange Bars
Source: Good Things Catered
1/2 cups of butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups of sugar
2 eggs, at room temperature
2 Tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups of flour
1 tsp of baking powder
1 Tbsp of orange zest
2 cups fresh cranberries (I used dried cranberries)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Beat together the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs, orange juice and vanilla and mix until combined. Mix in flour and baking powder. The mixture should have a cookie dough consistency. Fold in orange zest and cranberries. Spread batter evenly in a 9x12 prepared baking pan. Bake for about 40 minutes until golden brown on top.
Note: I halved the recipe and used an 8x8 baking pan and baked it for 20 min. I am really glad I checked it half way through as they would have been super dry if I had baked them for the 40 min.

Medium: Painting
Subject Tags: landscape, people, figure, newportbackbay, treepose, toga
Media: acrylic on canvas, panel
Size: 48"W x 30"H x 0.2"D
Year Created: 2018
As far as imagery, I use many of my friends as models. And fortunately I live along the coast and the beach and beaches around Orange County are an inspiration to me.
I work mainly in acrylic on canvas. Either canvas wrapped panels or stretched. I am primarily self taught with some tips from other professional artists. I like dry rubbing in combination with glazing to create my art. But mostly I work with some experimentation. Sometimes on the piece I am working on. And mostly my instincts have been fruitful.
My name is Edgar Toh. I am a Vango artist. Thank you for visiting my portfolio. I like to combine the beauty of nature with athleticism and grace. Whether it is a yoga pose or an athletic endeavor I like to capture moments that cannot exist except as a part of a movement. The human body is as much a work of art as a beautiful sunset or waves crashing on a beach. I don't want to just observe nature but show the interaction between people and nature.

Music be the food of Thought. Play On !!
What this worlds about
It might just help me out
I used to be a dreamer
But my dreams have burned
You know how luck can turn
Feels like a stranger to this human race
Its such a lonely, lonely place
I walk alone in the darkness of the city
Got no place to call home....."
As Richie Sambora sings, Varun thinks of the past few years of his life. Yes the dreams had crashed. Its a new Life in a new city now.
" I mean no danger, I'm a stranger...I'm a stranger
I'm just a stranger in this town."
Oh boy ! More thoughts creeping into his mind. Well its goin' to be all about surviving from now on.Varun was thinking where all that arrogance, ego and pride had gone, they seem to have deserted him completely.
As he starts feeling really low, the next track begins
"I used to be the kind of guy
Who'd never let you look inside
I'd smile when I was crying
I had nothing but a life to loose
Thought I had a lot to prove
In my life, there's no denying..."
Ritchie and his band seems to play the song just for him and soon those emotions takes over. Those traits that always made him feel good and feel complete.He softly head bangs to Richie's guitar riffs and the poor loser turns into a proud loser, ready for harder riffs and more music.
The music plays on...
"Goodbye to all my yesterdays
Goodbye, so long, I'm on my way
I've had enough of cryin'
Bleedin', sweatin', dyin'
Hear me when I say
Gonna live my life everyday "

ARDSLEY, N.Y.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:ACOR) today announced that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has awarded the Company a $1.4 million grant to support the development of a formulation and delivery system for a dry powder version of lung surfactant, a drug used to treat neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The formulation will be based on the Company's proprietary ARCUS technology, and will be produced in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
"The ARCUS technology has a wide range of potential applications. With the support of the Gates Foundation, we're excited to explore this technology to improve health outcomes for infants in areas with constrained healthcare infrastructures."
RDS is a condition affecting newborns in which fluid collects in the lungs' air sacs; it most commonly affects infants born prematurely. It can be fatal, or lead to severe, chronic health issues caused by a lack of oxygen getting to the baby's brain and other organs. The syndrome is caused by the infants' inability to produce enough surfactant, a liquid lining the inside of the lungs. Delivering liquid surfactant to the lungs via intubation is the standard of care. Intubation poses problems in the developing world due to resource and infrastructure limitations, including the need to refrigerate surfactant, access to sterile medical supplies, access to potable water and a lack of healthcare professionals trained in intubation. This grant will support the development of a portable and easily administered inhaled form of surfactant, which may present a more practical alternative for use in developing areas of the world.
"Using the ARCUS technology to develop an inhaled formulation of surfactant has the potential to expand access to this life-saving treatment in developing countries. ARCUS-formulated medications studied to date have been self-administered and stored at room temperature; these features have the potential to eliminate some of the barriers that prevent more widespread use of surfactant to treat infants with RDS," said Rick Batycky, Chief Technology Officer of Acorda Therapeutics. "The ARCUS technology has a wide range of potential applications. With the support of the Gates Foundation, we're excited to explore this technology to improve health outcomes for infants in areas with constrained healthcare infrastructures. "
"Some of the early research that led to the ARCUS technology was conducted at MIT, so it's very gratifying to see its continued development," said Robert Langer, Ph.D., David H. Koch Institute Professor of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "We're excited that it has the potential to help newborns with RDS, where there is a significant unmet medical need."
ARCUS technology is used in CVT-301, an inhalable form of levodopa being investigated by Acorda in Phase 3 trials to treat OFF episodes in people with Parkinson's disease. It has also been used in formulating CVT-427, a treatment for migraines in preclinical testing. The ARCUS technology has been used to successfully deliver more than one million doses to patients in clinical trials of various products.
About ARCUS® Technology
Acorda's proprietary ARCUS technology platform is a dry-powder pulmonary delivery system that has potential applications in multiple disease areas. This platform allows consistent and precise delivery of significantly larger doses of medication than are possible with conventional pulmonary systems. The ARCUS inhaler is breath-actuated, operated by the user putting their lips to the device and simply breathing in.
The ARCUS technology has been used to successfully deliver more than one million doses to patients in clinical trials of various products. CVT-301 is the most advanced drug candidate using the ARCUS technology. Acorda has an extensive patent portfolio relating to CVT-301 and the ARCUS technology, which covers aspects of the formulated drug product, the inhaler, the method of drug delivery and manufacturing processes for CVT-301.
About CVT-301
CVT-301 is being developed as a self-administered, inhaled levodopa therapy for treatment of OFF episodes in Parkinson's disease. This is an adjunctive therapy to a patient's individually optimized oral L-dopa regimen. Acorda's proprietary ARCUS technology provides a precise dose of a dry powder formulation of L-dopa to the lung to enable rapid and predictable absorption. CVT-301 is delivered through a pocket-size, breath-actuated inhaler designed to be patient-friendly.
Based on the results of the Phase 2b trial, Acorda has initiated a Phase 3 clinical trial that is expected to enroll approximately 345 participants across three arms: 50mg, 35mg, or placebo. These are the same doses used in the Phase 2b study. The primary outcome measure is improvement on the UPDRS III after administration of CVT-301.
More details about the study, including enrollment criteria, can be found at www.acorda.com or http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02240030?term=CVT-301&rank=2
About CVT-427
CVT-427 is an inhaled triptan being investigated for the treatment of acute migraines. The Company anticipates beginning a Phase 1 clinical program in 2015. CVT-427 utilizes the ARCUS technology platform.
About Acorda Therapeutics

Wright to decide on future with New Zealand
New Zealand coach John Wright's contract is due to expire in August, after the tour of the West Indies, but New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White is hopeful that a decision on Wright's future will be made before the end of April. Wright, who took over the coaching job in 2010, has had a successful summer with a historic win in Hobart over Australia and a reasonably solid showing in a 1-0 series loss against South Africa.
"We said we would give John three weeks after the South African series, just to give him time to think about his future," White said, according to the New Zealand Herald. "We would like something sealed within four weeks."
White would prefer a contract extension for Wright. However, after a long season of cricket, he would like Wright not to rush into a decision. "We'll give John some space, it's been a long period of cricket, and then we'll sit down and discuss the future.
"It's a big commitment these days. If you look at our calendar for the next 12 months it's really challenging in terms of both time and commitment, so John is weighing his options."
Wright's apparent tension with John Buchanan, New Zealand's director of cricket, could be a reason for him to reconsider the extension. However, White expects that Wright's relationship with Buchanan should not be a deciding factor.
"In any professional sporting organisation you have strong people and sometimes you have positive tension. Sometimes that's a good thing, because you get [positive] outcomes," he told Fairfax NZ News.
Ross Taylor, who was appointed as the captain by Wright, has come out in his support and expects him to continue in the role. "I've got a good relationship with him, and obviously I'm looking forward to him hopefully staying around," Taylor said.
New Zealand has a busy season ahead of them: after the West Indies tour, they embark on a three-Test tour to India in August, followed by the World Twenty20, tours to Sri Lanka and South Africa and a home series against England.

I am back on track, I hope!
I have been busy lately with working and some personal emotional.
I have a thought that there is a limit being friend, even a good friend. There is a line between each other, even we are the best friend, sometimes line are just there.
I would say I will be there whenever you need it even currently we are not as close as what we are last time. Things changed, situation changed even people are changing, but friendship will never end just like this, I believe.
As I said, you need to know what is the line between both of you whenever all these situation changed, but somehow I can't! I felt left out for a moment, when I said for a moment mean literally days and months. I felt kinda weird that I am being left out in this situation and because I am too sensitive, I couldn't stop thinking. I am letting it goes now, like real. However, I just want to say that we are still friend but not as close as like time anymore, barrier created!
I always create barrier with people, I don't get close with someone else real fast, and I will make sure I am super close with them once I let the wall down! But, I started to create the wall again, why? I thought I can get rid of this wall thing but I can't. Is that emotional? I don't think so. I just realised that barrier really exist!
Maybe as what you said I am narrow-minded, but things happened and I couldn't absorb fast enough to every situation, I am sorry! Just I am pretty sure that we won't be as close as what we are last time. Letting it goes is the best way I guess!
Life isn't just like this, there are more to explore.
Life isn't the way we always expect, we must go on in every situation.
Life goes on....
