Why This Recipe Works: Armed with multiple racks of ribs and the entire contents of our spice cabinet and pantry, we set out to develop a recipe for really great (and seriously hot) atomic ribs. We used our basic grill-to-oven method, which allows the meat to develop deep smoky flavor before moving to a low oven to finish. We cranked up the heat in the spice rub with paprika, chili powder, pepper, and cayenne. Salt and brown sugar added flavor and a touch of sweetness for balance. Mustard contributed bright flavor and a thick consistency that helped the sauce cling to the ribs. Heat in the sauce came from habanero chiles and dry mustard. We brushed the ribs with the sauce just before serving so it retained its pungent flavor.
Serves 4 to 6
Buy St. Louis–style ribs, which are more manageable than untrimmed pork spareribs. If you can't find them, baby back ribs will work fine; just reduce the cooking time in the oven in step 6 to 1 to 2 hours. To remove the membrane from the ribs, use a paring knife to loosen one end, then grasp the membrane with a paper towel and peel it off in one piece. This sauce is very spicy. For less heat, use only one habanero and remove the ribs and/or seeds before mincing. If you'd like to use wood chunks instead of wood chips when using a charcoal grill, substitute two medium wood chunks, soaked in water for 1 hour, for the wood chip packet.
1/4 cup sliced pickled banana peppers, chopped fine, and 2 tablespoons pickling liquid
1/4 cup lemon juice (2 lemons)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup yellow mustard
4 scallions, sliced thin
3 tablespoons dry mustard
2 tablespoons chili sauce
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 habanero chiles, stemmed and minced
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons pepper
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
2 (2 1/2 to 3-pound) full racks pork spareribs, preferably St. Louis-style, trimmed and membrane removed
2 cups wood chips
1. FOR THE SAUCE: Whisk all ingredients together in bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Sauce can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.)
2. FOR THE RIBS: Combine paprika, chili powder, sugar, pepper, salt, and cayenne in bowl. Pat ribs dry with paper towels and rub evenly with spice mixture. Wrap ribs in plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours. (If refrigerated, let sit at room temperature for 1 hour before grilling.)
3. Just before grilling, soak wood chips in water for 15 minutes, then drain. Using large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, wrap chips in 8 by 4 1/2-inch foil packet. (Make sure chips do not poke holes in sides or bottom of packet.) Cut 2 evenly spaced 2-inch slits in top of packet.
4A. FOR A CHARCOAL GRILL: Open bottom vent halfway. Light large chimney starter three-quarters filled with charcoal briquettes (4 1/2 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour into steeply banked pile against side of grill. Place wood chip packet on top of coals. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid vent halfway. Heat grill until hot and wood chips are smoking, about 5 minutes.
4B. FOR A GAS GRILL: Remove cooking grate and place wood chip packet directly on primary burner. Set cooking grate in place, turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot and wood chips are smoking, about 15 minutes. Turn primary burner to medium-high and turn off other burner(s). (Adjust primary burner as needed to maintain grill temperature around 325 degrees.)
5. Clean and oil cooking grate. Unwrap ribs. Place ribs, meaty side down, on cooler side of grill; ribs may overlap slightly. Cover (position lid vent over meat if using charcoal) and cook until ribs are deep red and smoky, about 2 hours, flipping and rotating racks halfway through grilling. During final 20 minutes of grilling, adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 250 degrees.
6. Remove ribs from grill and wrap tightly with foil. Arrange foil-wrapped ribs on rimmed baking sheet and cook in oven until tender and fork inserted into ribs meets no resistance, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours.
7. Remove ribs from oven and let rest, still wrapped, for 30 minutes. Unwrap ribs and brush with half of sauce. Slice ribs between bones and serve with remaining sauce.

I was unsure of what to anticipate for my homestay experience. As I walked up the six flights of stairs to reach my host families apartment, I wondered how the next couple of days would go.
The two-story apartment, where I spent the next five days, was beautiful and nicely furnished. My host student, Shirley, took me up a small flight of stairs to show me where I would be sleeping. The loft-like area included: a bedroom, a bathroom and balconies for drying clothing.
Before the trip we were informed that numerous houses and apartments do not have heating. To prepare for the possibility of being cold all night, I packed multiple pairs of sweatpants and sweatshirts. I also brought my own blanket, just in case. Unlike most of my fellow classmates, I was blessed with a heating system.
Each morning I would wake up around 7:30am and be ready for breakfast by 8:00am. Tuesday and Thursday mornings my host family took me out to breakfast. On Monday and Wednesday, however, my host mother cooked wonderful dumplings and noodles. Breakfast time was usually quiet considering the language barrier. Once I finished my breakfast either my host mother or host father would take us to school to begin the day's adventures.
Every night my host family took me to a new and exciting place to eat dinner. While I do not have a favorite restaurant from this trip, they successfully helped me experience the famous cuisine of Jiangsu Province.
As I was leaving my host family's house on the last morning of my stay, they informed me that if I decide to come back to China, they will welcome me with opens arms. This trip to China is one for the books, and it could not have been possible if it weren't for the generous and caring host families from Yangzhou.

Terry Lentz of Templeton smiled as he recalled a moment during the grueling 500-mile bicycle race he won last week.
His crew members — three friends and training partners who followed Lentz through most of the ride by car — cranked up Roger Miller's "King of the Road," and they all sang along as Lentz pedaled on a solitary stretch in the middle of the night.
Several hours later, Lentz, a 52-year-old engineer who commutes most days by bicycle from Templeton to work in San Luis Obispo, won the Furnace Creek 508 on Oct. 3 after 29 hours and 19 minutes of cycling, with an average speed of 17.38 mph and almost no time off the bike.
He also set a course record for the 50 and older age group and for the "classic bike division," in which Lentz rode a steel-frame bike that he built with gearing, pedals, cleats and other components, using pre-1983 technology.
"I'm kind of an endurance nut," Lentz said one morning last week after riding to work in his new 508 jersey. "The only talent I've claimed to have is stubborn persistence to the point of stupidity."
Furnace Creek 508 is actually a 509.5-mile race that crosses 10 mountain passes. It starts in Santa Clarita, crosses the Mojave Desert and Death Valley and ends in Twentynine Palms.
Riders face a total elevation gain of more than 35,000 feet, and they endure wind, thunderstorms and heat. Riders are identified not by numbers, but totems: Lentz called himself "Chesapeake Bay Retriever," after his pets.
Fifty-seven of the 82 solo riders who started the race finished; as did 35 of the 39 teams that competed, according to the race organizer's website.
Lentz completed Furnace Creek in 2007, finishing third in 30 hours, 13 minutes and setting a course record for riding a fixed-gear bike.
"He demonstrated three years ago that he's definitely one of the top competitors in this type of cycling event," said Chris Kostman, founder and president of AdventureCorps, which produces Furnace Creek 508. "And to come there three years later and win overall and do it on a classic bike really underlines what a phenomenal athlete he is."
Lentz has been cycling for years but didn't start racing until he was in his 30s. He has completed about 15 Ironman triathlons — which include a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride and a marathon — and competed in the world championships three times, held in Hawaii each October.
The Furnace Creek race provided Lentz with his favorite terrain.
"I love the desert," Lentz said. "(I've) spent many weekends in Death Valley with a camera."
To prepare for this year's race, Lentz trained for about a year, not only commuting 51.4-miles round trip to work, but also riding a 160-mile loop on Fridays. During the past few months, he's ridden 450 miles a week.
Lentz's finish time could have been even faster, but he had to serve a 30-minute penalty for crossing train tracks when the signal guards were lowered. He still finished nearly an hour ahead of second-place finisher Chris Ragsdale, 33, of Seattle.
Lentz passed Ragsdale while climbing the Jubilee Pass, elevation 1,285 feet, at mile 300. Riders climb 1,000 feet in five miles, then descend a mile before climbing about 2,300 feet in 9.5 miles to Salsberry (elevation 3,315 feet).
Louise Comar, one of Lentz's crew members, said the pass was the most exciting moment of the race.
"You're in the middle of nowhere, in complete darkness," she said. "There's no cameras, no helicopters; this is just for us. We are experiencing the competitive moment in this race."That was the last time we saw any other riders."
Lentz said he concentrated on managing his pain while cycling, trying to alleviate the pressure his toe-strap pedals put on his feet and focusing on his form.
Lentz said he might take a break from the 508, though he won't stop cycling.
"My goal in life is to motivate others to ride a bicycle and have fun doing it," he said. "I guess I also wanted to prove that it doesn't matter what you ride." Reach Cynthia Lambert at 781-7929.

The process of taking an invention from the lab to the marketplace can be long and consist of more than a few twists and turns. Scientists at the University of Lethbridge who have the expertise to research and develop a novel idea or product may need coaching and support to commercialize it and that's where the University Industry Liaison Office (UILO) within the Office of Research and Innovation Services (ORIS) can lend a helping hand.
Inventive works demonstrating a valued use to society are intellectual property (IP), which is defined by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office as a creation of the mind. IP includes inventions, literary and artistic works, designs and symbols, and names and images used in business. At the U of L, the person who creates the 'work' holds the IP. While researchers who want to commercialize an invention can do so independently, UILO provides resources and expertise to work on the inventors' behalf to translate their findings for an applied use and benefit. The U of L directs some its Research Support Fund towards the operation of the UILO.
"The UILO does several things to enhance knowledge translation of research for society's benefit," says Dr. Greg Vilk, UILO manager. "It can take many forms, such as the design of new bioplastics, precision agriculture techniques and technologies, a new drug for medical purposes, or a medical device such as a diagnostic mobile app for an unmet clinical need. It could also be educational materials for a unique requirement in the form of traditional methods or more progressive digital platforms."
The UILO can assist with intellectual property rights, assessing their value and determining the best way to approach partners who might be interested in collaborating in the refinement of the research, license the intellectual property for mutual gain and to solve society's grand challenges. While the developer may stand to gain financially from their intellectual property, knowledge translation and commercialization provide other benefits such as more student exchanges, increased employment, other new projects and further collaborations.
"When an intellectual property disclosure arrives at the UILO, I do a full confidential analysis," says Vilk. "I use proprietary databases; I look at the economics of it, I look at market and company information and try to assign a value for the intellectual property going forward. I give my assessment of whether the presented findings demonstrate a solution to a commercial challenge or problem. University-level intellectual property is inherently rough around the edges and therefore high risk. It's susceptible to failure so I assess that risk and determine if we should go forward or wait and develop it further to de-risk the invention and increase its social and economic value to interested parties."
Vilk also looks for strategic partners who could team up with the University, both to help commercialize intellectual property or to provide essential University expertise to help solve a pressing industry problem.
"The University has strong humanities and physical sciences expertise so there are opportunities to cross-pollinate between those departments. A lot of technology in the physical sciences space can facilitate research and development in humanities space, an example being the use of technology to turn sign language into speech," says Vilk.
The UILO also performs an educational function and is available to help researchers, staff, students and the university community understand how the knowledge translation and commercialization process works. Vilk can also provide advice on technology translation and knowledge translation given his own experience as a co-founder of four companies in genomics, platform diagnostics, biofuels and agricultural biotechnology. In addition, he was a co-lead in a cell therapeutics company, directing their research and development initiatives to clinical trials. He's also experienced the patenting and licensing process for both his inventions and others.
Vilk, who has a PhD in biochemistry from Western University, developed patented infection control drugs while at Western and a proof-of-principal platform detection device that allows allergy sufferers to test for peanut proteins in foods, for example. The infection control drugs were successfully licensed to an international firm, while the allergy platform device technology is still in development. These experiences and outcomes sparked his keen interest in commercialization and knowledge translation.
"I like the startup and entrepreneurial atmosphere, especially its diversity. I like seeing different technologies and early-stage ideas coming from diverse areas and figuring out how to marry them up to accelerate their maturation for society's use. That's what I like about academia," says Vilk.
The UILO is part of the Regional Innovation Network of Southern Alberta which includes Lethbridge College, tecconnect, Alberta Innovates, Community Futures and the National Research Council. Members of the network come together to help with commercialization and act as a conduit for grants, incubation space, advice and connections. In addition, Vilk strives to establish and nurture existing connections with other universities, investors, industries, enablers and associations in Canada and the United States to amalgamate resources where possible, discover new collaborators and note investor trends. He also works with his colleagues in the research office to build strength in new and existing grant fund applications.
"We're a young and vibrant university with niches of world-recognized expertise that we can pull on and capture value. We can't be everything to everybody because we don't have the resources to do that," he says. "If I can try to leverage our world expertise in these areas, then I can build tangible value that way and make the University stronger."
The Research Support Fund supports a portion of the costs associated with managing the research funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, such as salaries for staff who provide administration support, training costs for workplace health and safety, maintenance of libraries and laboratories, and administrative costs associated with obtaining patents for inventions.

Thinking a lot about FFXI again and all the fun and drama. I was in the Synergy LS and it was fun to look at the old thread about it beginning and its death. It has been pretty much 10 years since I talked to anyone on this game. I played mostly around 2004-2005 but played a LOT over that year and a half. Last year I actually created an account and logged back on for a couple days but did not recognize anyone but Alatel.
Shout out to Kalrie, Peeco, Kupkup, Raylo, Psylocke, Zeke, Spicychicken, Carvalo, Daggerheart, and many others I remember.
For a little while I was having a rough time in life but this game became my world for about a year and I made a lot of friends and memories.
Looks like this form is practically dead. Last year I made a similar post on Killing Ifirit and then the next month they closed the form. Hopefully the same does not happen here and that one someone will see this post and remember. I hope it brightens your day whoever you are.
**Goes back to youtube and listens to ffxi music

We have calculated the capture radii for several defect pairs, consisting of dopants and point defects (interstitials I and vacancies V, in silicon. Interaction potentials for I-V, I-B, P-V, and As-V were calculated using the VASP ab initio package. These potentials were then input into kinetic lattice Monte Carlo simulations in order to determine capture radii. We use and compare two Monte Carlo simulators, LAMOCA from Boston University and McMot, a code recently developed by ourselves. We find that capture radii are highly dependent upon the extent of the interaction allowed within the KLMC code. Calculated capture radii are considerably larger than those typically used in diffusion modeling.

The City of Conover will start demolishing its old Broyhill furniture plant property in the downtown business district in the next couple of weeks, its first major physical step toward redeveloping the prime site.
Crews will use heavy machines to tear down the 400,000 square feet of space. For safety purposes, they will use no explosives or wrecking balls, the city announced last week.
Conover is spending about $300,000 to demolish the plant. The work will take about 90 days.
Once the work is finished, city officials will hold public forums to get residents' ideas on uses for the land. They'll combine that information with a market study done earlier.
Broyhill made furniture at the site for more than 60 years. The largest building closed in 2005; the city bought it that year.
The Brownfields Real Estate Co. has a five-year option to purchase the property and market it.
Conover will keep and renovate the old Warlong Glove Factory next to the Broyhill plant and hopes to put it to new use by 2011. The city plans to move the Conover branch of the Catawba County library into Warlong, make the structure available for future passenger train service through the area and for the headquarters of the local public transit authority. It also plans a park on the site.
City Manager Donald Duncan said officials want residents' ideas. "We want the public to feel like they have a part in the process," Duncan said. "This is a big project for the city."

Modern definition of a Circuit
Electricity originates inside clouds. There it forms into lightning, which is attracted to the Earth by golfers. After entering the ground, the electricity hardens into coal, which, when dug up by power companies and burned in big ovens called 'generators,' turns back into electricity where it is transformed by TV sets into commercials for beer, which passes through the consumers and back into the ground, thus completing what is known as a "circuit".

SOURCE: Diet Doc Weight Loss
March 08, 2017 01:00 ET
PHOENIX, AZ --(Marketwired - March 08, 2017) - No matter how popular a diet may be, following it without adequate research and doctor supervision is risky. The original hCG diet, for instance, has been extremely popular over the years but is linked to many health issues. Initially developed by Dr. ATW Simeons in the early 1950s, the original hCG diet was limited daily consumption to 500 calories, making it practically starvation-based. It also involved losing up to an entire pound per day with a drastically low calorie diet and small doses of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), a hormone produced during pregnancy, that contains 244 amino acids. Although this method led to rapid weight loss, supposedly by eliminating "abnormal" fat from cells and internal organs, it resulted in many negative effects like abnormal weakness, muscle loss, and hair loss. Gradually, it was declared unsafe by medical professionals and nutritionists alike.
After decades of research, the Simeons method of hCG dieting has been discredited and discouraged by the Obesity Medicine Association due to its extreme low-calorie requirements and harmful side effects. Researchers have, however, also gained a better understanding of the hCG hormone itself and new ways to apply hCG in safer settings have been developed. Higher-calorie programs and consistent doctor supervision are now encouraged for anyone considering hCG treatment.
Diet Doc, a nationally recognized weight loss program, has a history of discouraging the Simeons method and educating patients about an alternative that involves consuming between 800 to 1250 calories every day without significantly reducing the rate of weight loss.
The hCG drops available online are neither FDA-regulated nor prescription-strength and individuals considering hCG should consider less harmful approaches. For instance, Diet Doc offers personalized diet planning and various prescription medications in the form of injections and sublingual tablets. Diet Doc also offers unlimited clinical support, direct doctor supervision, and easy-to-follow diet plans that are customized to each patient's specific health and nutritional needs.
Diet Doc programs and aids have a long history of promoting rapid weight loss and thereby alleviating issues like heart disease, high blood pressure and hypertension. And with a team of doctors, nurses, nutritionists and motivational coaches, Diet Doc helps patients curb hunger and lose weight fast. In fact, more than 90% of Diet Doc patients report losing rapid weight monthly and keeping it off long-term.
Patients can get started immediately, with materials shipped directly to their home or office. They can also maintain weight loss in the long-term through weekly consultations, customized diet plans, motivational coaches and a powerful prescription program. With Diet Doc, the doctor is only a short phone call away and a fully dedicated team of qualified professionals is available 6 days per week to answer questions, address concerns and support patients.
Getting started with Diet Doc is very simple and affordable. New patients can easily visit https://www.dietdoc.com to quickly complete a health questionnaire and schedule an immediate, free online consultation.

Apolipoprotein E-4 Genetic (DNA) TestSkip to the navigation
Current as of: December 7, 2017
Most people who develop Alzheimer's disease do not have a history of the disease in their families. But if you do have a family history of Alzheimer's disease (one or more members of a family have had the disease), then your risk of getting it is higher. When a disease is found in families, the cause could be genetic(heredity), something in the environment, lifestyle choices, or a combination of these things.
A blood test can look for a substance that seems to increase a person's risk for Alzheimer's disease. The gene is called apolipoprotein E-4 (ApoE-4). The presence of ApoE-4 cannot predict for sure whether a person will develop Alzheimer's disease. Many people who have the ApoE-4 gene do not get Alzheimer's disease, and many people who do not have the gene still develop the disease. Most experts do not consider ApoE-4 testing a necessary or useful part of evaluating a person with suspected Alzheimer's disease.
Sometimes people develop Alzheimer's disease at a young age, between the ages of 30 and 60. This is referred to as early-onset Alzheimer's disease or autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease. It is not common (less than 5 out of 100 cases), and this form of the disease has been linked to defects in specific genes. There is a 50% risk that these genes will be passed on. A person who inherits the genetic defect will most likely develop Alzheimer's disease.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 22, 2013) - Almaden Minerals Ltd. ("Almaden" or "the Company") (TSX:AMM)()NYSE MKT:AAU) is pleased to provide a summary of its 2012 exploration activities and outline its plans for 2013. In 2010 the Company discovered the Ixtaca gold-silver zone on its 100% owned Tuligtic project, Mexico and since this time, including 2012, the bulk of the Company's efforts have been focussed on the on-going Tuligtic project drill program. Nevertheless generative exploration has continued. The Company's primary focus is the identification, acquisition and development of new mineral projects, a process from which the Tuligtic project itself was found by the Company and acquired by staking. The Company has pioneered mineral exploration in Eastern Mexico, has extensive proprietary knowledge in this terrain and continues to utlilise this knowledge to identify mineral projects.
J.D. Poliquin, Chairman of Almaden commented, "Our work in 2012 was mainly on the Ixtaca Zone and we are excited to be working towards our maiden resource estimate. Since the discovery in 2010 of the Main Ixtaca Zone we have found the parallel Ixtaca North Zone, the perpendicular Northeast Extension (Chemalaco) Zone and widespread mineralisation in the volcanic units. All of these zones remain open and drilling is on-going to continue to expand the resource beyond the boundaries set for the maiden resource. Apart from our efforts at Tuligtic the Company continues to advance its property portfolio and generate new projects. We are looking forward to a very exciting 2013, a year in which we will quantify our work at Ixtaca."
Tuligtic Project and Ixtaca Zone, Mexico
In 2012 the Company drilled 52,695.00 meters of core in 152 holes on the Ixtaca Zone. In November 2012 resource estimation work was initiated on the 225 holes (for 81,971.03 meters) completed at that time (see Almaden news release of November 19th, 2012). Subsequent to this the Company announced that the on-going drill program had encountered significant gold-silver intersections outside the resource shell including 134.20 meters of 4.1 g/t AuEq (3.76 g/t Au and 18.1 g/t Ag (see Almaden news release of November 26th, 2012). In 2012 preliminary metallurgical studies were also initiated and are currently underway.
Also in 2012 the Company started the process of drilling other targets on the Tuligtic property with 5 drill holes on the Tano Zone, located about 2.4 kilometres to the southwest of the Ixtaca Zone. One hole in this first pass Tano zone drilling intersected 7 meters of 0.7 g/t gold. The area in-between the Tano and Ixtaca Zones is covered with barren alteration or volcanic ash deposits. This is typical of the Tuligtic project area in general, which is partially covered by these post mineral volcanic ash deposits interpreted to mask underlying potential vein zones and associated soil responses. In areas devoid of covering ash, soil sampling has defined several areas of elevated gold and silver values. Almaden will continue drilling these gold and silver in soil anomalies on the Tuligtic project in 2013 including following up at the Tano Zone. Other target areas include the Casa Azul and Sol Zones. The Casa Azul Zone is located 2.3 kilometres north of the Ixtaca zone. Of the 171 soil samples defining the Casa Azul anomaly, gold values ranged from below detection to 620 ppb Au and 30.6 g/t silver. A single grab of quartz-carbonate vein float found in the Casa Azul zone returned 2 g/t gold and 37.8 g/t silver. The Sol Zone is located 2.5 kilometres northeast of the Ixtaca zone. Of the 36 soils defining the Sol soil anomaly, gold values ranged from below detection to 130 ppb gold and 4.5 g/t silver.
El Cobre Project, Mexico
Prior to the end of 2012, the Company mobilised a drill to the 100% owned El Cobre copper-gold porphyry project, Mexico and drilling commenced to test Titan 24 high chargeability anomalies that resulted from a survey conducted by Almaden in late 2011/early 2012. Drilling will recommence when crews return in late January. Past drilling at El Cobre is interpreted to have only tested shallow and largely peripheral portions of the high chargeability zones resulting from the Titan 24 survey. The drill program has been designed to test these anomalies and areas of alteration and mineralisation throughout the property.
Regional Exploration and Project Work
The Company continued its regional exploration programs in 2012, particularly in Eastern Mexico. Currently the Company is acquiring claims in areas where mineralisation has been identified as part of this on-going program.
Also in 2012 the Company completed exploration surface mapping, sampling and geophysical work programs on the Yago, San Pedro, Mezquites and El Chato projects in Mexico. Results are being compiled from these programs and will be reported shortly.
Technical Details
The 100% owned Ixtaca zone is a blind discovery made by the Company in 2010. The Main Ixtaca and Ixtaca North Zones of veining are thought to have a north-easterly trend. Holes to date suggest that the Main Ixtaca and Ixtaca North Zones are sub vertical with local variations. This interpretation suggests that true widths range from approximately 35% of intersected widths for a -70 degree hole to 94% of intersected widths for a -20 degree hole. The drilling completed to date has traced mineralisation over 1,000 meters along this northeast trend. Based upon observations at surface and of core as drilling progresses, there seems to be a variety of veinlet orientations within the Northeast Extension Zone however overall the zone is currently interpreted to be dipping shallowly to the west and striking roughly north-south.
Mr. Norm Dircks, P.Geo., a qualified person ("QP") under the meaning of NI 43-101, is the QP and project manager of Almaden's El Cobre and Ixtaca programs and reviewed the technical information in this news release. The analyses reported were carried out at ALS Chemex Laboratories of North Vancouver using industry standard analytical techniques. Soil samples are analysed for gold, silver and 50 other trace elements using aqua regia and Inductively Coupled Plasma - mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). For rock and drill core, gold is first analysed by fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy ("AAS"). Samples that return values greater than 10 g/t gold using this technique are then re-analysed by fire assay but with a gravimetric finish. Silver is first analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectroscopy ("ICP-AES"). Samples that return values greater than 100 g/t silver by ICP-AES are then re analysed by HF-HNO3-HCLO4 digestion with HCL leach and ICP-AES finish. Of these samples those that return silver values greater than 1,500 g/t are further analysed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish.
Blanks, field duplicates and certified standards were inserted into the sample stream as part of Almaden's quality assurance and control program which complies with National Instrument 43-101 requirements. Gold equivalent ("AuEq" or "Gold Eq.") and silver equivalent ("AgEq" or "Silver Eq.") values were calculated using silver to gold ratios of 50 to 1. The ratio of 50 to 1 was used for the sake of consistency with past news releases. Intervals that returned assays below detection were assigned zero values. Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are assumed to be 100% for these calculations.
About Almaden
Almaden is a well-financed (cash, gold inventory and equity investments totalling approximately $31 MM as of January, 2013) mineral exploration company working in North America. The company has assembled mineral exploration projects, including the Tuligtic and El Cobre projects, through its grass roots exploration efforts. While the properties are largely at early stages of development they represent exciting opportunities for the discovery of significant gold, silver and copper deposits as evidenced at Ixtaca. Almaden's business model is to find and acquire mineral properties and develop them by seeking option agreements with others who can acquire an interest in a project by making payments and exploration expenditures. Through this means the company has been able to expose its shareholders to discovery and capital gain without the funding and consequent share dilution that would be required if the company were to have developed these projects without a partner. The company intends to expand this business model, described by some as prospect generation, by more aggressively exploring several of its projects including the Ixtaca Zone.

Saturday at CBS's Republican presidential primary debate, former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL) countered his rival Donald Trump's claim he was weak on immigration by saying, "It's weak to disparage women. It's weak to disparage Hispanics. It's weak to denigrate the disabled."
Partial transcript as follows:
TRUMP: When I announced that I was running for president on June 16, illegal immigration wasn't even a subject. If I didn't bring it up, we wouldn't even be talking. Now, I don't often agree with Marco, and I don't often agree with Ted, but I can in this case. The weakest person on this stage by far on illegal immigration is Jeb Bush. They come out of an act of love. Well whether you like it or not, he is so weak on illegal immigration, it's laughable. and everybody knows it.
BUSH: This is the standard operating procedure to disparage me. That's fine. I don't really care.
TRUMP: Spend a little more money on the commercials.
BUSH: But if you want to talk about weakness, you want to talk about weakness, it's weak to disparage women. It's weak to disparage Hispanics. It's weak to denigrate the disabled. And it's really weak to call John McCain a loser because he was a P.O.W.
TRUMP: I never…
BUSH: That is outrageous. He is an American hero.
TRUMP: He also said– excuse me. He said about language, two days ago, he said he would take his pants off and moon everybody, and that's fine. Nobody reports that. He gets up and says that. And then he tells me oh, my language was a little bit rough. My language.
BUSH: My mother is watching.

As Simon pointed out the body had a brief airing on an Autosport forum entitled "Australian Sports Special" earlier this year. Conclusions at the end were that the body was made from moulds taken from an E-type coupe, before shifting to a more general JWF thread.
"The chassis it was sitting on was a Triumph Herald, but it did not fit the lower body, which has channels for chassis rails in the sills. The body was moulded in two pieces, an upper and lower section, and there is quite a lot of double skinning that has been cut away. There is a spare wheel well behind the rear axle". (see photos in previous post). It looks to have an MGB windscreen, dating it after 1962. "There are winding windows installed in the doors, which are double skinned and an inspection hatch let into the floor moulding over the diff centre. The whole front end flips forward and there are two lower box sections forward of the bulkhead that extend about 20cm. It looks like the holes at bumper level could accommodate MGB lights". It is not a known US kit. "The bonnet scoop is not original it seems, has been let into the bonnet, but very well done. Also looks to have had a round bonnet badge near the screen at some point."
Conclusions so far : 1. Not in the JWF family.
2. Looks like a Velacia.
3. A bit like a J&S Hunter at the front but the
rear is completely different.
4. The roof is very E-type.
"The bulkhead has stiffening ribs and a different shape on the driver's side (RH). There is wood strengthening at the base of the A-pillar indicating that it was originally intended to have hidden door hinges. The dash is crude, but fashioned out of steel and alloy with quite a few holes for clocks and switches."
Front and rear screen are glass and not laminated or toughened.
"Bulkhead is quite complex. At bottom of bulkhead there are short rectangular sections that look like they were meant to rest on the chassis, so chassis in sills and then supporting front bulkhead."
Another conclusion - Chassis may have been HQ Holden van or ute.
A breakthrough - Bulkhead and floorpan and windscreen is Triumph Herald/Spitfire and the rest is from E-type.
We really need to trace some history.

Definitely not hunter. Although there was 2 versions, one a fast back with mgb windscreens, the front isnt hunter. Where was it found?

Very intriguing! I'd pick on the Spitfire as source of the bulkhead as opposed to a Herald, as the Herald is taller...having said that, this could have been cut down. The floor pan right up to the hump over the diff looks Triumph too. This may have been sitting on a Spitfire/GT6 chassis once?

What Is Smart Lipo-Light Body Sculpting?
Smart Lipo-Light is an advanced slimming technology for non-invasive body contouring treatment.
Using the power of the latest LED light therapy technology, Lipo-Light is the natural and healthy way to loss inches on the waist, hips, thighs, upper legs, arms,and even the chin.
Lipo-Light is a method of body contour improvement without any scarring. The whole treatment is non-invasive, relaxing, pain free and soothing.
Essentially, the Lipo-Light will super energize each fat cell so that a temporary pore opening is created in each fat cell. The fatty acids and trigylceride contents then spill out into the interstitial tissue to be carried to the lymph system to be used for energy before leaving the body! Basically, it takes a fat cell from a grape and makes it into a raisin!
Here's What Happens.
|Engorged adipose cells with sourrounding connective tissue before being exposed to Lipo-Light.
|After 4 minutes of exposure, the fat is seen coming out of the adipose through a disrupted membrane.
|After consequtive treatments, the fat is almost completely outside of the cell and the size of the fat cell is dramatically reduced.
Here's What Happens Under The Microscope.
Lipo-Light can deliver effective results in just one treatment, but 8 to 16 are best to see results. Sustained results take place when continued LED Light Therapy is used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise regime.
Lipo Light produces photo-chemical stimulation of fatty cells with a wavelength of 635 nm. This exposure of the fat cell to this specific wavelength over time causes the cell to open and allow the fat to escape thereby shrinking the fat cells. Fat content is then transported around the body to tissues where it will be excreted during a period of post-treatment exercise
Through exercise and stimulating your lymphatic system, Lipo-Light increases your metabolism to metabolize this fat. This is NOT a surgical procedure. No downtime. No pain.
Why Is Lipo-Light Different?
The best part about the Lipo-Light is there is no bruising, swelling, burning, pain or anesthesia required; essentially NO SIDE EFFECTS!
Once the fat leaves the fat cells, from the Lipo-Light treatment, it is transported as free fatty acids to the lymphatic system to be used as energy. Another benefit you can get from Lipo-Light is that it can boost or renew collagen thereby making the skin more firm.

This Is The Best Time Of The Day To Workout For Weight Loss
In our recent few stories, we have covered a lot regarding weight loss –
Exercising vs Diet – Which is more important for weight loss
Best method of exercising that helps you lose weight
Can't stick to a diet? Try being a flexitarian
This common nut helps you lose weight
Want to be overweight? Sleep late at night
20 years ago it was much easier to lose weight
In this story, we cover another dimension related to weight loss, that is, time. Is there a relationship between your time of exercising and weight loss? The answer is yes.
Recent researches suggest that exercising before breakfast in the early morning speeds up weight loss and primes the body for all day fat burn resulting in higher energy levels.
What is the reason behind this?
Well there are two –
1) Instead of burning your latest snack/food item, your body uses your fat reserves for the fuel required for the exercise.
2) Furthermore daylight has a role to play in your weight loss. When you align your circadian rhythms with the natural world your metabolism is boosted.
Now you know why should be hitting the gym early, don't you?

It has been just over a year since I have seen Ghost, since then the band has been surrounded in controversy in regards to shocking line up changes and band members releasing their identities to the public. The Popestar 2017 tour has had fans biting their finger nails in anticipation of seeing how this supposed new line up does live. I can tell you right now that your worries are not necessary.
If you have read any of my previous show reviews, you know the score by now. The bus trip down to Glasgow was slow and tedious. The hotel was incredibly over priced for what they offer and the rain wouldn't stay in the clouds for us who like to join the queue early. Naturally we met some interesting people in the queue. We had lots of discussions about our favourite bands, Iron Maiden's neglect of Blaze Bayley, his stunning solo material and many other interesting subjects.
The venue staff were the usual friendly bunch. They even let me in a little earlier to scale their hefty staircase due to my unfortunate disabilities. The venue was hotter than a sauna, stank of stale sweat and looked like a confetti ball exploded in the place (more on that later). The stage was cramped with multiple keyboard, amp and drum kit line ups but looked tidy and quite presentable considering the conditions.
To my surprise, a lot of the crowd were already cramped in the venue to see the opening band Zombi. I tell you, it was hot enough in there without a thousand people all squished into one little venue. Everyone seemed to have been in a good mood, buzzing with energy and some were even frothing from the mouth (any other moist openings) at the thought of seeing Ghost live in concert.
Zombi hit the stage and barely said a word before they blasted into their heavy keyboard progressive music. I may not be the most in touch with younger bands, but this kind of group is a definite odd choice for an opening slot for Ghost. The two man band put on a good set, the bands drummer pounded his drums with a lot of conviction and the bassist/keyboard player had a good sound, a good sense of melody and had a fantastic bass guitar sound.
The problem is that the style of music just seemed too much of a contrast to what we were initially there to see. The sound came across as Emerson Lake & Palmer light and would have suited a more seated venue to compensate for the more relaxed vibes that their songs produced. I also felt that the music was lacking in terms of live musicianship. Steve Moore is a really good bassist and I personally feel that their set would have been a lot more entertaining if he stuck to that instrument for the entire set with a full time keyboard player filling in. It would give the "synthwave" duo more room to experiment and improvise live, it would have most definitely improved their live performance. The crowd seemed to have either loved or hated the support bands slot and I can fully understand why. But I won't say anything bad against them. Their sound was excellent and they did a great job considering.
Much like Ghost's previous visit to Glasgow, the crowd were absolutely buzzing when the stage was cleared and the drum/keyboard riser was revealed. By this point, it was clear that the venue was full. Despite being cramped, everyone seemed to respect each other's space and for a change, I saw no real incidents, fist fights or general drunken foolishness. It was very, very refreshing to say the least. Whilst all this was going on the crew set the mood by playing soft classical music over the sound system (do this more often I say) and drowned the venue with incense sticks.
After being absolutely drowned out by the smoke machine (the first of many times), the lights dipped and the crowd just erupted in cheers, screams and applause. Ghost came on stage playing their recent hit single, Square Hammer from the Popestar extended play. This new song sounds fantastic live but was sadly the only song from the record that was played in concert. Many of the crowd were hoping to hear Bible live, sadly that will have to be for another place and time.
Ghost played a lot of songs from their previous two full length albums and were just as solid as they were in 2015. The guitars were perfectly in sync, the drums and bass pounded out a rock solid rhythm. You would never know with the performances of From The Pinnacle to the Pit, Secular Haze and Con Clavi Con Dio that this was a completely different band line up from the Meliora tour. Papa Emeritus was his usual charming self, amusing the crowd with his soft voice, amusing gestures and between song banter.
In typical Ghost style, the ritual of Body And Blood went ahead as it always does with the front row sharing a little red wine between them. Then came an incredibly heavy rendition of Cirice with its thunderous riff and rhythm smoothly transitioning into Year Zero. After this we got to take a breather for a minute only for the band to blast us with the four track smack of He Is, Absolution, Mummy Dust and Ghuleh/Zombie Queen. A big sing a long moment for the crowd and easily some of their heaviest music to date. They work really well together, flowed from one song to the other with little to no stoppage time. Somewhere in all this madness we were blasted with even more smoke and endless amounts of confetti that featured Ghost's own 666 money bills, these had crowd members scrambling for a great souvenir (thanks Sumer!) The show finished off with Ritual and the traditional Monstrance Clock. The lights eventually came back up to another piece of classical music and everyone just sort of stood still for a moment trying to gather their breath and sense of reality.
It was clear from the moment the crowd stood and gave the band a very polite personal ovation that even with the suspected line up changes and band trouble, the band pulled out all the stops with great success and did so with a lot of professionalism. The entire crowd appeared to be smiling from face to face, hugging each other in sheer joy and even some tears were shed. Going to a Ghost concert is clearly a great emotional pleasure for a lot of people and it is not every day that I can understand why they would feel this way. But after seeing my second Ghost concert, I too was grinning like a Catholic priest in a boys only school and felt the kind of happiness that very few bands can deliver.
As I said in the previous Ghost show review, these guys deliver something that is very hard to put into words. Some people don't buy into the band because they see the gimmick and instantly write it off. But others can see the effort that is put into such a solid performance, the effort put into such an excellent stage show and many clearly enjoy the more relaxed environment that you just don't get at a metal show in our time. The package as a whole makes Ghost one of the best concert tickets of 2017. If you have the chance to see this show, I couldn't recommend it more (again).

Barn gets them started early
CHICAGO - Looking for an angle in Chicago 2-year-old races? Try these two words - Tom Swearingen.
There have been only two 2-year-old races run so far this year in Chicago, and Swearingen-trained horses won both. It's no surprise. Swearingen's outfit consistently sends out live young horses on the Chicago circuit, and his 2-year-olds are especially dominant during spring. Everybody knows it, too.
Twitch N Shout, who won a 4 1/2-half furlong maiden race by almost seven lengths on Sunday, paid $2.80 to win in her career debut. Monday, Swearingen won with To Be Announced, who scored by almost three lengths at a much more attractive 5-1.
It's not like Swearingen is getting things done with million-dollar babies. To Be Announced is an Illinois-bred by the obscure stallion Denouncer, while Twitch N Shout is by a more prominent sire, Southern Halo, and is a homebred out of a fast racemare, Barely Makin It.
Swearingen, who owns a Chicago-area farm with training facilities, begins picking out his win-early prospects in September, when the horses still are yearlings, looking for the most mature and developed stock.
"We break them in September, and I get an idea who looks good then," Swearingen said.
"In the winter we'll take some to the track who look like they can get started early. From there, I let them tell us whether we should go on with them or wait."
Swearingen said he doesn't focus on gate work - less is more, he believes - but his 2-year-olds like Twitch N Shout tend to show speed from the gate.
"I like to see one that's real competitive, that likes to get out there early," he said.
Swearingen has high hopes for Twitch N Shout, who he thinks is much better even than she looked in her easy win last weekend. He said the filly might be pointed to the My Dear Stakes at Woodbine or the Debutante Stakes at Churchill.
Fan Club's Mister to go in sprint
The talented Illinois-bred turf horse Fan Club's Mister will start at Hawthorne in the June 1 Glassy Dip Stakes. At five furlongs, the $75,000 Glassy Dip probably is too short for Fan Club's Mister's best race, but Fan Club's Mister is ready to roll, and trainer Rickey Harris wants to set him up for a try in the Firecracker Breeders' Cup on July 4 at Churchill Downs.
Last summer, Fan Club's Mister won the Grade 2 American Derby at Arlington, at 1 3/16 miles, a far cry from the sprint he will try next week. In December, he confirmed his quality by winning the $100,000 Woodchopper Stakes at Fair Grounds, and last month he was second in a Keeneland allowance to the top turf horse Strut the Stage, who returned to win the Grade 2 Dixie at Pimlico on Preakness Day.
Fan Club's Mister hasn't tried a sprint since early in his career, but Harris said prospective spots to bring the horse back weren't plentiful. Besides, Harris said she plans to restrict Fan Club's Mister to shorter races this season.
"I'd prefer him to run a mile or 1 1/16 miles," she said.
Wednesday, Fan Club's Mister worked a half-mile on the Hawthorne main track in 49.20 seconds.

Little hands love to build. Building and stacking toys are simple, but what they teach is essential for your child's development
By Carissa Tozzi
When children play with building toys they will naturally practice their fine motor skills, gross motor skills and visual and spatial perception. Using their imagination, children will bring these toys to life through exploration, personalization, and manipulation. While some children need encouragement to engage their imagination, others naturally can do it, but eventually they will learn to play independently. Once these skills are developed, building toys offer an excellent opportunity for teaching children how to take turns, share responsibility, and creatively problem-solve through cooperative play.
These are 12 wooden building toys we love:
H Blocks are simple construction blocks that your little one can use to create high buildings, amazing sculptures, trains and railway tracks, strange creatures or incredible bridges and more.
Grimm's Rainbow Tunnel is ideal for small and older children! Toddlers will stack, sort and build amazing sculptures and as children get older, they will find amazing uses for it: A cradle to rock their dolls, a fence for animals, a tunnel or bridge for vehicles...
The Greater Pyramid Blocks will invite your little ones to build their own, multicolored wonder of the world. And just like the Great Pyramid in Egypt, the blocks' solid construction ensures it'll last a lifetime.
Tegu believes that every child possesses the unhindered ability to build, create, and imagine. Brilliantly simple and premium heirloom-quality, this magnetic building toy will last for generations and is perfect for open-ended and unscripted play.
Manhattan Blocks by The Land of Nod includes 54 colorful wooden blocks just waiting to be assembled into towering skyscrapers and high-rises.
Balancing Blocks by Areaware is a fun and challenging manipulative for kids. Then can spend hours trying to balance these ten faceted stone-size shapes as well as create endless structures.
The Big Box of Colorful Blocks has a simple, classic design and heirloom quality make this a toy that can be passed along from generation to generation.
PlayShapes is a unique modular set of 74 wooden geometric shapes which you can arrange or stack to make hundreds of 3D creations, such as animals, people, faces, vehicles, buildings and much more.
Grimm's Rainbow House is a Multi-use toy. It can be used as a puzzle, a pretend-play house for dolls and figures, as well a decoration for a child's room.
Blockitecture®, a set of architectural building blocks by designer and nest hexagonal blocks to create towers, cities, and dwellings. Blockitecture® Garden City, Areaware's deluxe set, adds pavilions and garden terraces to original Blockitecture forms.
Grimm's Set of Bowls is a versatile toy for children of all ages: they can stack and sort the bowls by size and color, build with them, use it as pot or plate, collect treasures...there are endless possibilities.
Machi Building Set set includes 15 wooden play pieces and 2 magnetic chalkboards, which will inspire your little ones to create their own roads, people, and landscapes using the eco-chalk provided...making it an excellent toy for open-ended and fine motor play.

McCain Pimps Out His Wife in SturgisA lesser blogger might note the prominence of bottle-blonds -- particularly those with substance abuse problems -- at the Miss Buffalo Chip contest, but I'm gonna try and keep it classy.
While at the Buffalo Chip Campground near Sturgis for the Sturgis Bike Rally yesterday, putative GOP nominee John McCain essentially pimped out his wife Cindy to the rowdy throng. ***
I can see wanting to seem like you're one of the Peeps. But to offer your own wife to enter an often salacious and nude beauty contest? That's pretty pig-like like, fellow babies, even to this less than enlightened male. It is particularly undignified for a Presidential candidate.
Can you imagine the uproar if Sen. Barack Obama had done something like this to Michelle?

How to Apply


text: News digest 20 August 2013 20 August 2013 The campaign to #SaveOurRoyalMail continues - over 133,000 have signed the Royal Mail petition so far – and yesterday there was another vote of no confidence in the government's ill-thought out privatisation plans as 6,000 Royal Mail managers voted by a margin of 71 per cent against the proposed sell off; that was on top off an overwhelming vote against large cuts to pensions in consultative ballots. Said Unite officer for Royal Mail managers Brian Scott: "Our members have made it clear that the proposals put forward by the Post Office and Royal Mail to make changes to their pension arrangements are unacceptable" before adding "Unite has a long standing policy of opposition to the privatisation of Royal Mail, which is backed up by the public who don't want a national institution sold off to companies more interested in profits than providing a joined-up national service." Nuff said. And from ballots to bonuses and a number of the papers report on the continued inequality in the workplace, the latest example is in the boardroom where male bosses and being paid bonuses double the size of female colleagues in the same job. If those that rise to the top can't even get equality in bonuses imagine what's its like at the bottom, in fact the figures show that women bosses are seeing pay rises commensurate with that of general workers, in the last 12 months there was a 1.1 per cent rise; male directors' earnings rose by 5.3 per cent over the same period. And still on pay the Guardian reports that workers on zero hours contracts have pay rates that are '40 per cent below the average' or only £9-an-hour in contrast to £15 for other workers not on zero contracts. Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna is to host a zero hours summit with employers and unions today aiming to put further pressure on the government to crack down on abuse of workers' employment rights and the rise in zero hours contracts. The summit should add a bit more flesh to the bones of Labour policy. And there are still concerns about Labour's direction and the leadership of Ed Miliband. The Mirror has a detailed poll on the leader of the opposition that does not make comfortable reading, only 45 per cent of Labour voters are happy with Miliband and his general approval ratings are deep in negative territory. In a blunt message to Miliband's team the poll also shows that 72 per cent of Labour voters and 46 per cent of voters in general think he should be getting more support from his shadow cabinet colleagues, but the main message is neatly summed up by Kevin Maguire: "He has to lead from the front, not lag behind." Maguire calls for concrete plans to raise living standards, guarantee full employment, axe the bedroom tax, back care for the elderly and save the NHS. Sounds like a plan to me… And if it's not all rosy for Ed Miliband, then there's also bad news for David Cameron who has been complaining about his "phenomenally" bad back which means he has been unable to fully enjoy his latest holiday (the fifth of the year) on the Scottish island of Jura. Apparently a 'protruding disc' means that he can't go deer stalking and instead has to walk the fields, but in order to recover Cameron is off on another holiday, this time to sunny Cornwall, so Bambi is safe for now… Morning Star Lobbying bill threatens to outlaw TUC congress (p1) Snowden reporter's partner detained by police (p2) Royal Mail managers vote against sell-off (p2) Unite/Brian Scott cited Stansted bag workers call strike (p2) 19 arrested at fracking demo (p3) Labour slams 'rip-off' letting fees for renters (p4) Police in frame over blacklisting (p5) London buses may go cash-free (p5) What role should union members play in Labour? – Keith Ewing (p10) Daily Mirror PM rapped on 'flawed' lobby laws (p2) Spy quiz at Heathrow (p2) Bad back means Cameron can't go deer stalking (p6) Frack row MP is held (p8) Ukip in crisis as chief exec quits (p12) Ed alert – poll crisis for Miliband (p14-15) Tesco fined £300K over berry offer (p19) Union chief in blacklist inquiry call (p19) Royal Mail managers vote against privatisation (p43) Bovis sees building boost (p43) HSBC announces five branch closures (p43) Sun (no links all stories now behind paywall) (p)Ken backs Ed (p2) [Mirror poll] Strike to hit Jaguar (p2) – Unite cited Cameron: Bad back means I can't go deer stalking (p4) Petrol to rise 54p (p6) Fracking and ruin (p8-9) Homes boss not moving on pay (p38) Express PM: My back pain is a bore (p5) Another coalition with the Tories will kill the Tories – Ross Clark (p12) Bovis profits soar but boss urges caution (p50) Mail Coup threat if PM seeks new coalition (p6) Green MP held as police move in on fracking mob (p8) Tesco fined £300K over strawberry con (p9) Labour voters lose faith in Miliband (p12) Shaming of UK's care homes (p12) Schools 'are trying to bring back Section 28 (p16) Journalist's partner held for 9 hours 'had secret files' (p20) War of words breaks out for RBS branches (p58) Blow to BAE deal (p58/61) Banks hike pay to dodge bonus cap (p61) Times (no links all stories behind paywall) NHS checks on over-40s condemned as 'useless' (p1) 30 held as police swamp fracking protest (p4) 'Tenacious' shopper get £300K fine for Tesco (p14) Backbench Tories demand say in new power-share deal (p19) Normal service resumes for mortgages (p37) Bovis adds weight to building confidence (p37) Indie Return of Section 28 (p1) Lucas arrested at fracking protest (p9) Zero hours workers earn £6 less per hour (p11) US given 'heads up' on detention of journalist's partner at Heathrow (p12) Rethink of lobbying reform still a possibility (p13) Tesco fined over misleading offer (p19) Men's bonuses more than twice the size of women's (p44) Bovis sales through the roof (p45) Guardian Male bosses' bonuses are double those of female colleagues in identical jobs (p1) David Miranda detention: White House was given 'heads-up' (p1) Football clubs warned to pay staff minimum wage (p2) Tesco 'half-price strawberries' deal prompts red faces and £300,000 fine (p3) Caroline Lucas among dozens arrested in Balcombe anti-fracking protest (p3) David Miranda detention prompts outcry over 'gross misuse' of terror laws (p5) How Edward Snowden led journalist and film-maker to reveal NSA secrets (p5) Gibraltar dispute: Royal Navy warship arrives at Rock (p6) David Cameron reveals he is suffering from protruding disc in his back (p6) Hillsborough: South Yorkshire police wanted fund money for holiday home (p9) Peer fined for road rage assault (p9) Scotland would have to 'reapply to Commonwealth' after independence (p11) Zero-hours pay rates '40% below average', claims Chuka Umunna (p11) Rupert Everett joins boycott of Russian Winter Olympics over anti-gay laws (p12) Labour voters unsure if Ed Miliband is best leader, poll finds (p15) Homebuilder Bovis announces 19% increase in profits (p21) Bitcoin now 'unit of account' in Germany (p21) UK bankers' salaries raised to beat EU bonus cap (p21) Interest-only mortgages make a return (p21) Swedish firm Atlas Copco buys British with Edwards Group acquisition (p22) W&G Investments launches bid for RBS branches (p22) Greece's only Ferrari dealership has had no sales for nearly two years (p23) Why we all love Charlie Bucket (and despise the poor in real life) – Polly Toynbee (p28) What is behind this fracking mania?

|Waking Life (2002) USA
Additional Images
Summary: "Waking Life" is a film that never settles down. Or maybe it never wakes up. Regardless, Richard Linklater's animated meditation seems to strike a perfect balance between the plotless meanderings of "Slacker" and the unquenchable knowledge-seeking of Hermann Hesse's "Siddhartha". Any way you look at it, this is a weird, original movie.
As he attempts to figure out what separates dreams from reality, the protagonist ("Dazed and Confused"'s Wiley Wiggins) hears an earful from everyone he stumbles upon. Ramblings range from the scholarly (Linklater's former college professor Robert C. Solomon gives a monologue) to the banal (of which there are plenty). Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, Steven Soderbergh, and Adam Goldberg all get animated cameos, basically playing themselves. The dream-centered dialogues eventually grow mind-numbing, but that's OK; the animation steals the show. Each frame of the movie, which was first shot with live actors, was painted over, and the process renders a distorted and trippy collage of sights and sounds. Linklater's film is ultimately quite poignant, but, as with any good journey, you'll need to sit through some fairly tedious moments before reaching the destination. "--Jason Verlinde"

With running back LeSean McCoy, the Buffalo Bills' prized acquisition of the offseason, sidelined, Ray Rice may finally get a second chance.
Just maybe.
McCoy hurt his left hamstring Tuesday night and is having tests to determine the extent of the injury.
More from FoxSports
Coach Rex Ryan said trainers informed him the hamstring is intact and has not been pulled off the bone, which he described as "a real positive." The injury occurred about an hour into a joint practice with the Cleveland Browns.
Ryan didn't want to be pinned down on a timetable for how much time McCoy could miss.
"I really don't want to go there yet, because let's get the prelim reports," he said. "Hopefully, this will be something that doesn't set him back too far."
McCoy was running a route during a 7-on-7 red-zone drill when he pulled up short near the goal line. He slowly walked to the sideline holding the back of his left leg and then sat on the turf, where he was attended to by numerous trainers. He required help getting up, and didn't bend his left leg while slowly making his way to the locker room alongside team doctor Les Bisson and trainer Shone Gibson.
The injury could be a big blow for the Bills after they acquired the two-time All-Pro in a trade that sent linebacker Kiko Alonso to Philadelphia in March.
McCoy led the NFL with 1,607 rushing yards in 2013, and was regarded as the centerpiece in Buffalo's plan to establish a run-first offense under Ryan. The former New York Jets coach took over the Bills in January, replacing Doug Marrone, who stepped down on Dec. 31.

Pretty Patterns…
The first time I went into the field with amphibian biologist Mark Thompson, it was early spring and we were checking ponds, puddles, road-side ditches and rotten wood for evidence of breeding toads, frogs and salamanders. Walking along a trail, we were feverishly flipping dead rotten wood, a typical hiding spot for salamanders. "They're really quick, so you have to be fast to catch them" Mark would say. We would then carefully put the material back where we found it, to ensure that the habitat was intact for them to use eventually. At one point, I turned around and there was Mark knee-deep in a wet alder swale, looking for tadpoles and larvae, and swarming with mosquitoes. "I get so focused on looking for them that I don't even notice the bugs anymore."
Now THAT's passion for your work!

Berenstain Bears at ALRF?
By now, most bears will have entered their dens for a long winter's rest. Bear dens, in fact, can be more than just a hole in the ground. The Berenstain Bear's tree house paints a humanized picture of bear habitat, but it's closer to reality than you might think. Bears have developed extremely resourceful and diverse strategies for staying safe during their winter nap.
Recent research at the Aleza Lake, John Prince and Alex Fraser Research Forests looked at the range of black bear dens found in each of these areas. Researchers Dexter Hodder (John Prince Research Forest) and Roy Rea (University of Northern BC) surveyed three types of dens in BC' s central interior: rock dens, excavated dens, and, yes, tree dens. The purpose of the study was to relate den type with likely forest management activities, and to develop recommendations to promote den protection.
