About once every 3 casts, mind flay will tick 2 times instead of 3 for me. This happens even in raids and is killing my dps!
I'm playing from Germany, with a very good connection (~100Mb/s). The latency bar shows 28ms.
It was suggested to me that this happens when standing 20-24yds away from the target, basically the range added by the talent. However even when standing in the mobs face, this still occurs with the same frequency (about 33% of the time, once every three casts).
I got the Mik's Scrolling Battle Text addon (linked on these forums somewhere), which provides a very good way of monitoring the damage done - this is where I'm getting this info from. Plus my dps as measured by raidstats is lower than what it should theoretically be.
Has anyone figured a way to get around this bug??

The Corcoran Gallery of Art once upon a time kept us steadily in touch with what was new in art. Now, aided by Ned Rifkin, those days may be returning. Rifkin, 36, the gallery's new curator of contemporary art, is the man responsible for "SPECTRUM," an open-ended series of small, thematic group shows, the first of which -- on modern attitudes toward landscape -- goes on view today.
"SPECTRUM: Natural Settings" is thought-provoking, varied, entertaining and good-looking. The Corcoran is famous for its Bierstadts, Coles and Churches, for its meticulous, dramatic, 19th-century views of cataracts and mountains, meadows, forests, seas. Rifkin, most appropriately, has built his first exhibit on what's already there.
The seven artists he has chosen -- painters and ceramicists, photographers and sculptors, city dwellers most of them -- have pushed that old tradition in a variety of ways. Some have driven it toward fiction. Some have turned it into theater. One, the most conservative, Julie Bozzi of Fort Worth, who paints out in the open, makes small oils of west Texas whose clinical detachment and attention to the seen might have pleased John Ruskin. Others find in landscape the stuff of heady dreams.
Washington's Jim Sanborn treads all these roads at once. "Striking Stones Under the Thunder," his sculptural installation, is made of light and shadow, of lodestone, slate and sandstone. It looks both raw and elegant, new as well as timeless. The thunderbolt of Zeus, and the Thunderbird still worshiped by the Indians of the West, are among the forces it evokes. Part portal and part shrine, Sanborn's installation is operatic as a Bierstadt. It is the single most impressive object in the show.
April Gornik's seascape -- like the romantic moonlit landscapes of Caspar David Friedrich and Church's haunted icebergs -- feels theatrical and fictional. A brilliant orange cloud, pierced to show the blue beyond, lends its orange hue to an island-dotted sea. Gornik's scale is mysterious. Is that island huge or tiny? There is no way of knowing. One does not see such things in nature. Her summarizing brushwork is nothing to write home about, but the seascape she's imagined lingers in the mind.
Cheryl Laemmle's "Forest" feels imaginary, too. The 19th-century painters, and the audiences they served, could distinguish oaks from larches, but Laemmle is content with fairy tale trees. The 76 she's painted (on cutout sheets of masonite) have been mounted individually on the gallery's white wall. The foreground trees are large, the ones above are smaller, and all of them cast shadows so that we tend to read the whiteness of the wall as a smooth snow-covered hill. Halfway up the hill, sheltered in the woods, is a small house built of stones. Hansel and Gretel would know the place at once.
Mike Kelley's little country house, cartooned on a 4-inch-by-4-inch square of plain white paper, is even more mysterious. It is not the house that stops us, but the rays of force, or thought, that flowing from its edges, looming and expanding, gobble up the wall. Kelley, who has based something vast on something tiny, sees that "formal bumping up in scale" and the movement thus implied as "an analogy of memory." The landscape he has portrayed is a landscape of the mind.
That sense of landscape as the stuff of remembering or dreaming is made explicit bluntly by the glazed ceramic sculptures of Michael Lucero included in the show. Lucero sculptures heads on whose surfaces he paints mountain ranges, oceans, trees and suns and butterflies. He is aiming for the magical, but he somehow misses. There is something awkward, something bumpy, in his painting and his sculpture, and the magic somehow dies.
Jan Staller's photographs are wittier. His "Mont Sainte Victoire" is not Ce'zanne's beloved mountain, but a heap of rock salt near a highway in New Jersey. Between the broken sandstone rocks in his "Badlands, N.J.," one sees the Empire State Building rising in the distance. The bilious colors of his forest scene take their eerie weirdness from the mercury vapor lamp that illuminates the trees. A wild 19th-century vision and a harsher modern truth collide nicely in his photographs.
Kelley's wall-sized drawing makes us think of Albers' squares, Gornik hints at Clyfford Still, Laemmle at Walt Disney. Memories of other, older works of art, and not only of the natural, nibble at the innocence of the landscapes in this show.
Rifkin's second "SPECTRUM" will focus on the figure. His third will deal with language. His initial exhibition, which is open to the public free, is a promising beginning. It closes March 2.

IDF chief Lt..Gen. Dan Halutz's announcement after the approval of the UN ceasefire resolution that Israel was expanding its operations in Lebanon and that these would likely take another week to complete was followed by Northern Command chief of staff Brig. Gen. Alon Friedman's statement to press and media that he expects the operations to be pursued all the way to the Litani River. Some units have already reached the Litani, according to television reports.
In order to degrade the Hizballah communications and command control. air strikes were carried out on Tyre and Sidon in order to cut electricity power supplies.
The ground fighting has been intense, as more and more units have approached Hizballah fighting positions. Hizballah losses so far are estimated by the IDF at 20 killed. The report says that the IDF advance westward is coming from Taibe and Qantara, on an axis approximately 5 miles from the Israeli border.
A major assault on the village of Al Ghandourieh, near Marjayoun (which is held by Israeli forces), involved a fierce firefight which resulted in a lessening of Hizaballah rocket attacks throughout the morning:
The advance seen thus far is methodical and, in spite of reports, fairly conservative. The Israelis do not seem to be carrying out slashing armored attacks, but are concentrating on combined arms operations to isolate and destroy strong points. It is now clear that, unless another shift takes place among Israeli leadership, the destruction we expected in the south is taking place. This has already diminished rocket fire into Israel, but we remain doubtful that all rocket attacks can be shut down by attacking the south. Further operations remain an option, although that option is uncertain in this political environmentOne issue now, the report supposes, is what will be the response of Hizballah. There is speculation that Hizballah may now bring long-range missiles into service, probably with conventional warheads, though this is not certain. The other issue is how far the Israeli forces will be allowed to go into Lebanon.

SAN DIEGO — A clothing manufacturer has filed suit against another company for alleged trademark infringement on two brands of running shorts.
AAF Nation LLC filed a complaint on Aug. 12 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California against M.J. Soffe LLC, alleging that the Maryland company intentionally committed acts of unfair competition.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on March 13, 2015, AAF Nation LLC had filed for a trademark for its two brands of men's versatile running shorts known as Semper Silkies and Ranger Panties, but the defendant purportedly opposed the Ranger Marks and competed with the plaintiff by using the plaintiff's Ranger marks for its own products. As a direct result of the defendant's alleged trademark infringement, the plaintiff claims to have suffered substantial profit losses and irreparable injury to its business reputation and goodwill. The plaintiff holds M.J. Soffe LLC responsible because the defendant allegedly caused confusion among buyers and obtained profit and benefits instead of the plaintiff.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks a permanent injunction to stop the use of the trademark by the defendant, judgment against the defendant, damages, interest, opposition Nos. 91225613 and 91225278 to be dismissed and registrations for the plaintiff's Ranger marks to be allowed to proceed to registration, restitution and further relief as the court may deem appropriate. It is represented by Andrew D. Skale and Natalie A. Prescott of Mintz Levin Cohn Ferris Glovsky and Popeo PC in San Diego.

Also a Chicken Can Obtain Lasik Surgical treatmentIf you make the effort to review any one of the message boards or chat rooms on the web regarding Lasik surgery, you will wonder how anybody might get the courage to arrange a Lasik treatment, and why on earth they would want it. The different Lasik centers sound anywhere from impersonal to something much like Dr. Monster's lab, and also the Lasik treatment itself appears, well, unique. It appears like the only people that would get Lasik are those with such poor vision that they can not rise without their glasses on.
Well, let me provide you my story of exactly how I chose Lasik. First of all, my vision is bad, yet not awful either. I can really go to movies and see well enough to enjoy the movie without glasses, but I require glasses to own in order to check out the road signs far sufficient away to act upon the details. For me, Lasik was not needed, but I figured would certainly simplify my life. I am outdoors really frequently, backpacking, climbing hillsides, as well as mountain biking. Glasses do not last long with me, and also I am regularly grinding into the dust which is not the most effective situation for call lenses. For these reasons, Lasik looked really attractive.
The paragraph over could make you think I am a "manly individual" (hope so, think so!), so why in the world would certainly I be afraid of a little Lasik scalpel? OK, technically Lasik does NOT utilize a scalpel but rather a "microkeratome blade", but it is still a sharp object approaching my eye as part of the Lasik procedure. Nowadays Lasik doctors could get a laser to cut the flap in the eye, which is greater than a little far better compared to a sharp blade. Yet anyhow, I had way too many spills in my life to assume any kind of sharp item nearing my eye was a good idea, even under the experienced hands of a Lasik medical professional.
After talking with three (yes, 3!) independent Lasik medical professionals, they each assured me that a 28 years of age man in nearly best health (OK, I overemphasize a little bit) with moderate nearsightedness was just one of the greatest prospects for a successful Lasik treatment. I determined to arrange my Lasik procedure with the one that had the most effective track record, and also coincidentally took the most time to discuss everything about Lasik to me.
The Lasik surgical procedure was not excruciating, though I approved nearly every little thing they used to give me convenience, consisting of a sedative and a teddy bear. (I even returned to take a photo of me and the Lasik calming teddy bear.) The only check my blog weird thing I bear in mind concerning the Lasik treatment itself was a smell, something vaguely like hair burning. I mean that was my eye. I am type of happy they didn't inform me to anticipate that before the Lasik treatment, I am uncertain I would have gone in.
After a couple of years, I guess I was an almost ideal Lasik client, as my eyes now have 20/20 vision and have remained steady long after the Lasik operation. I claim that if you are an excellent prospect for a Lasik vision modification procedure, get that teddy bear and also go on in.
If you take the time to review any of the message boards or chat areas on the Web about Lasik surgical procedure, you will certainly ask yourself exactly how any person could get the guts to schedule a Lasik treatment, and also why on planet they would desire it. The different Lasik clinics sound anywhere from impersonal to something comparable to Dr. Monster's laboratory, and the Lasik treatment itself sounds, well, surreal. OK, technically Lasik does NOT make use of a scalpel but instead a "microkeratome blade", however it is still a sharp object approaching my eye as component of the Lasik treatment. I chose to arrange my Lasik procedure with the one that had the finest track document, as well as coincidentally took the most time to describe every little thing regarding Lasik to me.

Comments Off on In Search of a Better World: Benjamin Franklin traveling exhibition comes to the George C. Gordon Library
"Benjamin Franklin: In Search of a Better World," a traveling exhibition opening at the George C. Gordon library on March 17, 2011 at 4pm, tells the remarkable story of the man who began his life as a poor printer's apprentice and ended it as a revered elder statesmen known throughout the world for his wisdom, wit, and resourcefulness. Benjamin Franklin's achievements in diplomacy, science, philanthropy and other fields profoundly influenced the path of a new nation and continue to inspire us more than three hundred years after his birth. Local actor J. T. Turner will present "The Adventures of Benjamin Franklin" during the opening event. "Famous, fascinating Benjamin Franklin--he would be neither without his accomplishments in natural science," begins Joyce Chaplin in her biography The First Scientific American. Dr. Chaplin will give a lecture at WPI on April 4 at 4pm.Continue reading >

Fifty percent (50%) of U.S. voters have voted for an independent candidate at least once in their life. Forty-one percent (41%) have not . . .To reiterate: half of all voters say they have voted for an independent candidate; just over one-third identify themselves as Democrats; about one-third identify themselves as Republicans; and just under one-third desire an independent or third party alternative. Given the stability of this tripartite partisan breakdown, one wonders how much longer the myth of the 50/50 Democrat-Republican political and ideological divide will be able to dominate the thinking of commentators, analysts and everyday folks.
In March, 36.2% of Americans identified themselves as Democrats, while the number of Republicans inched up to 32.9%. The number of adults not affiliated with either major party dropped to 30.9% . . .
Only 32% of voters nationwide believe Republicans and Democrats are so much alike that an entirely new party is needed to represent the American people. That's down three points from early February. Fifty-four percent (54%) disagree and say a third party is not needed . . .
Men feel more strongly than women that a new party is needed. Forty-two percent (42%) of voters 18 to 29 agree . . .
Roughly one-fourth of GOP and Democratic voters see a need for a new party. Among unaffiliated voters, 46% say a new party is needed, but 39% don't share that assessment.
Poll: Half of All Americans Have Voted for an Independent Candidate
Rasmussen has just released the results of a survey that contained a number of questions inquiring as to respondents' views on third party and independent politics. A positive effect of Poli-Tea's "pressure the polls" action alert directed at Rasmussen? Not likely. The possibility that Charlie Crist may run for US Senate as an independent served as the report's lede. Among the findings:

Question about Acer Computers & Internet
Posted by temade2 on
Computer hard disk error could comes when one of this situations , first damaged hard disk and another could be virus infection on the computer.
Computer virus could delete the MBR and that would cause the error. Run the disk repair if you have one with the computer, run anti virus to remove the virus. If there is disk hardware damage try running good hard disk repair software like Norton Disk doctor, or simple FDISK to repair the damaged boot sector or any bad sectors that the software could detect. Make sure to back up all the data using the CD boot DISK first. In case you need to reinstall the operating system , you could still have data back once the reformating and reinstalling is done.
Posted on Sep 17, 2009
First and formost ensure you are booting form the correct device.
(when all the text appears on screen at the beginning of the startup sequence push F8 or F12 in order to bring up a list of devices to boot from and choose each one until it does something different. Or if you are feeling clever choose your hard drive from the list if you know which one it is.
If none of those work Chances are you will need to format your hard drive which also means losing all of your documents, settings programs, operating systems and so on.
And then re install an operating system
Most operating systems will have a formatting tool on their install Cd's
(windows vista and windows 7 have those options on the Custom Installation option.Windows XP has that option available during the install process (follow the onscreen prompts)
If this doesnt work you may need to perform a deeper format which physically removes all the data from the drive.
http://dban.org for help and instructions on how to do this.
And finally if none of that works chances are that your hard drive is physically broken and must be replaced.
Posted on Sep 09, 2009
I hope it's simply a diskette in the diskette drive...
Otherwise, your hard drive may be bad.
If you moved the computer, the power or data cable may have come loose.
Open the case and check the cables. If you find an "extra" power cable in the case, swap that power cable with the one in the hard drive.
Posted on Sep 09, 2009
Don't format the hard drive .. unless you have a really good backup (for sure) or don't care if you lose your data...
Better to buy another hard drive and reinstall everything.
Once it works, then add the current hard drive back into the computer as a "second" hard drive.
Maybe it will run long enough to copy the data to the first (new) drive.
Hope this helps!!

In order to believe that George Bush won the November 2, 2004 presidential election, you must also believe all of the following extremely improbable or outright impossible things.The full chapter is available online here. The rest of the site is similarly useful.
1) A big turnout and a highly energized and motivated electorate favored the GOP instead of the Democrats for the first time in history.
2) Even though first-time voters, lapsed voters (those who didn't vote in 2000), and undecideds went for John Kerry by big margins, and Bush lost people who voted for him in the cliffhanger 2000 election, Bush still received a 3.5 million vote surplus nationally.
3) The fact that Bush far exceeded the 85% of registered Florida Republicans' votes that he got in 2000, receiving in 2004 more than 100% of the registered Republican votes in 47 out of 67 Florida counties, 200% of registered Republicans in 15 counties, and over 300% of registered Republicans in 4 counties, merely shows Floridians' enthusiasm for Bush. He managed to do this despite the fact that his share of the crossover votes by registered Democrats in Florida did not increase over 2000 and he lost ground among registered Independents, dropping 15 points.
4) The fact that Bush got more votes than registered voters, and the fact that by stark contrast participation rates in many Democratic strongholds in Ohio and Florida fell to as low as 8%, do not indicate a rigged election.
5) Bush won re-election despite approval ratings below 50% - the first time in history this has happened. Truman has been cited as having also done this, but Truman's polling numbers were trailing so much behind his challenger, Thomas Dewey, pollsters stopped surveying two months before the 1948 elections, thus missing the late surge of support for Truman. Unlike Truman, Bush's support was clearly eroding on the eve of the election.
6) Harris' last-minute polling indicating a Kerry victory was wrong (even though Harris was exactly on the mark in their 2000 election final poll).
7) The "challenger rule" - an incumbent's final results won't be better than his final polling - was wrong.
8) On election day the early-day voters picked up by early exit polls (showing Kerry with a wide lead) were heavily Democratic instead of the traditional pattern of early voters being mainly Republican.
9) The fact that Bush "won" Ohio by 51-48%, but this was not matched by the court-supervised hand count of the 147,400 absentee and provisional ballots in which Kerry received 54.46% of the vote doesn't cast any suspicion upon the official tally.
10) Florida computer programmer Clinton Curtis (a life-long registered Republican) must be lying when he said in a sworn affidavit that his employers at Yang Enterprises, Inc. (YEI) and Tom Feeney (general counsel and lobbyist for YEI, GOP state legislator and Jeb Bush's 1994 running mate for Florida Lt. Governor) asked him in 2000 to create a computer program to undetectably alter vote totals. Curtis, under the initial impression that he was creating this software in order to forestall possible fraud, handed over the program to his employer Mrs. Li Woan Yang, and was told: "You don't understand, in order to get the contract we have to hide the manipulation in the source code. This program is needed to control the vote in south Florida."
11) Diebold CEO Walden O'Dell's declaration in a August 14, 2003 letter to GOP fundraisers that he was "committed to helping Ohio to deliver its electoral votes to the president next year" and the fact that Diebold is one of the three major suppliers of the electronic voting machines in Ohio and nationally, didn't result in any fraud by Diebold.
12) There was no fraud in Cuyahoga County Ohio where they admitted counting the votes in secret before bringing them out in public to count.
13) CNN reported at 9 p.m. EST on election evening that Kerry was leading by 3 points in the national exit polls based on well over 13,000 respondents. Several hours later at 1:36 a.m. CNN reported that the exit polls, now based on a few hundred more - 13,531 respondents - were showing Bush leading by 2 points, a 5-point swing. In other words, a swing of 5 percentage points from a tiny increase in the number of respondents somehow occurred despite it being mathematically impossible.
14) Exit polls in the November 2004 Ukrainian presidential elections, paid for in part by the Bush administration, were right, but exit polls in the U.S., where exit polling was invented, were very wrong.
15) The National Election Pool's exit polls were so far off that since their inception twenty years ago, they have never been this wrong, more wrong than statistical probability indicates is possible.
16) In every single instance where exit polls were wrong the discrepancy favored Bush, even though statistical probability tells us that any survey errors should show up in both directions. Half a century of polling and centuries of mathematics must be wrong.

Voter fraud
In the bookstore I read bits and pieces of Censored 2006, featuring the top censored news stories of the past year, as well as updates from previous years. It was a great read, and very interesting. Among the topics covered was the 2004 presidential election.

McLenehan planning to do whatever it takes to defend Wolff Pack title
Written by

By Brad Brown —
A little early season adversity isn't going to stop Les McLenehan from doing what's right.
"A guy pretty well has to come and defend his title right?" he said Monday. "At least go down swinging."
McLenehan is a fixture on the IMCA modified circuit at his hometown track, Estevan Motor Speedway. Last year he trekked to Swift Current for the sixth annual Wolff Pack Run, which was held for the first time at Speedy Creek Raceway, and drove away with the $5,000 top prize.
This year the $40,000 event returns to Swift Current and McLenehan is hoping, if nothing else, it can help jump start his season.
He currently sits 14th in points at Estevan but started to turn things around by finishing 24th on this year's Dakota Classic Modified Tour.
The 2011 Wolff Pack Run is scheduled for July 30-31.
"I bought a new car this year and the whole plan was going to be way faster, but it really didn't fall into place just yet," said McLenehan. "I'm not sure if I'm as fast as I was last year but we've still got a ways to go."
With this much money on the line, McLenehan's competition, as usual, will be stiff. Last year's race drew cars from across Saskatchewan, Alberta, B.C., and even one driver from Mexico.
The local contingent will be headlined by names such as Bob Heffer, Jason Lacelle, and John Barber. Lacelle is a former IMCA Canada champion while Heffer and Barber were both competitive at the 2011 Dakota tour, making all 10 feature races for which they tried to qualify. Barber's Tour was cut short by a multiple rollover in Dickinson, N.D. last week that knocked his car out of commission.
"This is the Super Bowl of IMCA modified racing in Canada," said Colin Johnston, Speedy Creek Racing Association's public relations director. "It's the biggest money race in Western Canada ... and if you get to the Top 24 you're guaranteed $1,000 just for making the A-main. So it gets pretty intense when the guys start going for that $1,000 and guys really put their best foot forward."
It will also be a chance for the Raceway to put its best foot forward, as the Wolff Pack Run will be the first marquee event to experience the track's new clay cap, which was installed at the end of 2010.
"It's starting to come around nicely," said Johnston. "The last race day here had some of the best track conditions I've seen and I'm just itching to get out there because it's going to be a very fast track."

The magic of Mistletoe
It's possible that there's something in this but we have no way of knowing at this stage
According to folklore, mistletoe 'magic' may seal romance, bestow fertility and bring peace to warring spouses. The plant has also been credited with the power of healing - an attribute currently being harnessed by a new outpatient unit at the independent Raphael Medical Centre in Kent, which offers integrated cancer care.
The centre uses mistletoe (known by its Latin plant name, viscum album) to combat undesirable effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, such as fatigue, nausea, weight loss, low mood and infections.
Advocates believe the herb boosts the immune system and may even help kill tumour cells - particularly breast, gynaecological, colo-rectal, pancreatic and lung cancer, along with lymphomas and leukaemia.
Results have been so promising that Professor Gene Feder, a GP and Professor of Primary Care at Bristol University, is initiating the UK's first pilot study.
From his GP experience he says: 'Patients receiving mistletoe during and after radiotherapy or chemotherapy appear to tolerate those treatments better. The university is planning a pilot double-blind randomised controlled trial, and hope to start recruiting in Bristol in April.'
Treatment is usually by injections - two a week for two years. Patients inject at home after initial treatment by medical staff to monitor effects.
Dr Maurice Orange MSc, who heads the integrated cancer care clinic at Raphael, explains: 'We look for inflammation at the injection site.
This may be itchy, tender or painful for a day or two. Like after-effects of a bee sting, redness indicates the body's immune response. For this treatment that's desirable. After weeks or months of treatment it settles down.
'Similarly, within 24 hours of an injection we expect patients to feel off-colour, fatigued, headachy with bodily aches and pains, and possibly raised body temperature - like mild flu, but lasting about 12 hours. Again it's a positive sign. The immune system is firing into action. Depending on reactions we adjust doses, increasing as patients get used to it.'
Dr Orange stresses that mistletoe is an adjunct to conventional cancer treatment. While patients sometimes want to avoid orthodox treatment, he sees his job as discussing best treatments, often referring patients to sympathetic oncologists.
The magic of garlic
Just epidemiological speculation so far
It may do no favours for your breath, but enjoying a diet rich in garlic, onions and leeks could reduce your risk of developing the most common form of arthritis. Researchers at King's College London and the University of East Anglia investigated possible links between diet and the painful joint disease. They found that women who ate a lot of allium vegetables (in the garlic family) had lower levels of hip osteoarthritis.
The findings, published in the BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders journal, show the great potential garlic compounds have in developing new treatments for the disease. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis in adults, affecting around 8 million people in the UK, with women are more likely to develop it than men.
It causes pain and disability by affecting the hip, knees and spine in the middle-aged and elderly population. Currently there is no effective treatment other than pain relief and, ultimately, joint replacement.
A relationship is known to exist between body weight and osteoarthritis but this was the first study to delve deeper into how diet could impact on development and prevention of the condition.
The study, funded by Arthritis Research UK, the Wellcome Trust and Dunhill Medical Trust, looked at over 1,000 healthy female twins, many of whom had no symptoms of arthritis. The team carried out a detailed assessment of the diet patterns of the twins and analysed these alongside x-ray images, which captured the extent of early osteoarthritis in the participants' hips, knees and spine.
They found that in those who consumed a healthy diet with a high intake of fruit and vegetables, particularly alliums such as garlic, there was less evidence of early osteoarthritis in the hip joint.
To investigate the potential protective effect of allium vegetables further, researchers studied the compounds found in garlic. They found that that a compound called diallyl disulphide limits the amount of cartilage-damaging enzymes when introduced to a human cartilage cell-line in the laboratory.
Dr Frances Williams, lead author from the Department of Twin Research at King's College London, says: 'While we don't yet know if eating garlic will lead to high levels of this component in the joint, these findings may point the way towards future treatments and prevention of hip osteoarthritis. 'If our results are confirmed by follow-up studies, this will point the way towards dietary intervention or targeted drug therapy for people with osteoarthritis.'
Professor Ian Clark of the University of East Anglia said: 'Osteoarthritis is a major health issue and this exciting study shows the potential for diet to influence the course of the disease. 'With further work to confirm and extend these early findings, this may open up the possibility of using diet or dietary supplements in the future treatment osteoarthritis.'

The same Jim Hill who played a reporter in Rocky III .Oh, I ll wager he s enjoying it.Woodhouse was almost as glad to see him now, as he would have been sorry to see him before.But a fatality seemed to pursue the poor foundling.I had a good conversation with Williams today about the two back situation in Carolina, and he is absolutely comfortable with it.and called for Zillah, as loud as I could.
So now Alex has something we like to call leverage.Jim Harbaugh We keep hearing how Harbaugh has lost his way, but why does it feel inevitable his team will be playing in the NFC Championship Game on Jan.Wherever she was, and with whomsoever she was speaking, she felt his eyes upon her.Ah knows all bout birthin .It s a nice view atop the NFC East, but the Cowboys better not lose their grip.The decreased amounts of yards and big plays haven t coincided with more completions;
Ford is also a skilled return man, which just adds to his stock when you consider the league s scoring system.You d like to be 50 50, but I think the games and what happens in the game will determine how many times he ll carry.She reached the entrance of the village, and saw the young laboring men and maidens standing together chatting, and her own mother amongst them.He was with the Jets for six seasons before that.des Essarts, pointing to DArtagnan;He recovered himself so quickly, however, that Mr.Oh, how pleased the old king was!
The dim room was full of visions.Such was the lesson that was quickly borne in upon him.Not being in a condition to remove his doubt, I only cast my eyes down on the two large feet planted on the rug, and sighed, wishing myself far enough away.His bend and burst stood out, and he has enough Tim Masthay Jersey limited blue 8 ability to be a credible threat off the edge on the next level.When Crabtree does return, Singletary anticipates a small role initially as the coaching staff figures out ways to get the rookie wide receiver on the field as he learns the offense.And of course, in maybe the most watched battle of the preaseason, RB Jamaal Charles continues his push to be the top dog in Kansas City.That would lead to the selection of Baylor QB Robert Griffin III, who would instantly become the favorite to start.and then the still, dark night witnessed the convulsion of despair, and heard the burst of passion.
His visits were just weeks after a Super Bowl in which Percy Harvin came in and completely changed the Seahawks offense.It sounds like tiny glass bells, said the lord in waiting, and see how her little throat works.thats all the hope thats left us.That s a relief to both Niners fans and fantasy owners alike, especially with the Arizona Cardinals next on the schedule.There was freedom in his agony.But nobody expected him to be in the conversation for the NFL s premier all around running back.
Draw your knitting out of your pocket that will do now continue the history of Mr Heathcliff, from where you left off, to the present day.Everybody says, Well, he s got a 43 inch vertical.He stood by everything else at the combine.5 and has thrown nine touchdowns against one interception especially impressive production given the dire state of San Diego s injury depleted backfield.The Rostovs party stopped for that night at Mytishtchy, twenty versts from Moscow.But my powerswhere are they for this undertaking? I do not feel them.All I want is to win two more games.�t is an amazing experience.

Mexico's electoral court offered up a decision that will keep the status quo happy and, naturally, deny Mexico's electorate a full recount of the presidential vote. I am always impressed by the establishment's delaration of a putative love of democracy and it's apposite ability to refuse to actually and properly count votes. In fact, they have laws specifically restricting recounting ballots, making the process unnecessarily cumbersome. Or, as I am sure they view it, necessarily cumbersome. Recounting votes should not be an onerous task in a democracy. No one has any problem with checking, double checking and triple checking business transactions but counting votes twice, why, that's just plain crazy.
It was a hotly contested election and the number of polling station problems was immense; in Orbador country, scrubbed voter rolls courtesy of ChoicePoint, ballots found in dumpsters, exit poll mismatch with the vote count, long lines experienced in precincts strongly supportive of the populist who promised, among other things, to renegotiate NAFTA, something the business elite was none too keen on. It sounded all too typical. James K. Galbraith offered up an excellent review of the voting data that certainly demonstrates some bizarre behaviour, behaviour which is generally recognised as a sign that an election is being rigged in real time.
So, it looks like Mexicans will be denied the right to know what the real vote count was, while being told by the corporate establishment that all went well. Welcome, Mexico, to the new American century.

08 Feb 2018
Siam Piwat Co.,Ltd. the owner and operator of Siam Paragon, Siam Center and Siam Discovery under "One Siam" joining force with KBank Credit Card, have spent a budget worth over 50 million baht, on celebrating the greatest Chinese New Year by launching "Siam Delightful Chinese New Year" to attract both Thai and international shoppers to experience the excitement throughout the Siam area. With a decoration of more than 999 Chinese lanterns, imported gorgeous performances from China, and auspicious events, as well as promotions and special prizes of the year, all of this is for the Thai people and international tourists from all over the world from today until March 11 this year.
Mrs. Mayuree Chaipromprasith, Senior Executive Vice President – Marketing of Siam Piwat Co., Ltd., said "To welcome the shopping season and the high season of tourism at the beginning of the year, the company has launched the "Siam Delightful Chinese New Year" campaign, thanks to its synergy as the "One Siam" to celebrate the Chinese New Year. The three shopping centers offer different types of activities, which we focus on new experience and innovations, and create something new for impressing our customers. Moreover, we have decorated the shopping centers to create a shopping atmosphere during the beginning of the year, emphasizing our shopping centers as the number one shopping destination in Bangkok.
"Under 'One Siam' concept, Siam Paragon, Siam Center and Siam Discovery as one of the leading retailers in Thailand, we are confident that the number of visitors to three shopping centers will increase by more than 20 percent during this Chinese New Year period with higher spending. This corresponds to the rising traffic and strong tourism growth of the country, which is expected to grow constantly by 9 percent. For this year, we have a strategy to reach targeted tourists by focusing more on the Fully Independent Traveler or FIT. According to the Association of Thai Travel Agents (ATTA), the number and spending per head of FIT have increased largely during the past year. Hence, we have focused on this group of customers because they have strong purchasing power, especially Chinese tourists who love branded products and are ready to spend their money. The incoming Chinese New Year will be a long holiday for about 15-30 days, the Chinese tourists will travel abroad and one of the most popular destinations is Bangkok. The Tourism Authority of Thailand expects that in 2018, the Chinese tourist market will generate revenue of 5.61 billion baht, increased by 10.5 percent from the previous year, average spending at 55,000 baht per person per trip, increased of 4.38 percent from the previous year. Businesses that will benefit from rising spending include hotels, retail and shopping, and food. This campaign will continue to emphasize that we will deliver excellent service and create endless relationships with our customers," Mrs. Mayuree said.

Throwback Thunderday - 44% On The Drops
A tribute to Trancending, the (former) weekly psytrance gathering, at Korsakoff, the (former) alternative music club under the Amsterdamp, born in last millennium's late 80s. In addition to serving their traditional blend of rock, metal, goth, drum-n-bass, industrial, ebm, techno, wave, electro and grunge, they hosted the local psychedelic trance hangout, every Thunderday night.
Today feels like a good day to re-cerebralate

This spring's anime lineup is looking fantastic. Jojo's, Love Live, Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, Mekaku City Actors (Kagerou Days), No Game No Life and the resumption of Fairy Tail lead a lineup that is bound to grow yet further as time passes and more projects get finalized. If winter turns out to be the biggest flop in history, as it's looking to be, spring is likely to be the greatest success in history, so overall 2014 anime is in a good place for now.
One Piece is currently filler so another watchable series has been lost to the void. It was inevitable, given how many weeks the manga had taken off recently, so it's not like I resent the presence of filler or anything. I'm just saddened that the world will no longer have new One Piece anime for the foreseeable future. This is why I love Pretty Cure. Since it's anime original content, every week is as solid an episode as the previous week, and it can have as fast a pace as it likes without ever 'catching up with the source.' No filler and fast pacing make for much better stories, lemme tell ya.
Little Busters Refrain has thoroughly impressed me, such that now I've moved it up in the rankings to #9. Even that may be selling the series short, we'll have to see based on how good the Ecstasy OAV's are. Refrain just makes you cry non-stop for the entire second half of the season. It's as bad as Da Capo II, or Clannad After Story. But anything that can move you emotionally that much is a great work of art, far beyond normal fare, so even when the experience isn't exactly pleasant it's still astoundingly admirable. Considering how much the anime left out from the visual novel, the fact that it's still the 9th best anime ever, makes you wonder just how good the visual novel might be. But the EX version of the story still hasn't been translated into English, so there's just no way to know.
Meanwhile, Segawa Onpu has saved Ojamajo Doremi. What was previously a chore to watch has become a delight, all because of this one new Pretty Witch. She starts as a sort of 'dark Ojamajo' who serves as a foil and antagonist to the original cast, but by the end of the season ends up being their best friend who sacrifices everything for them, after which they in turn sacrifice everything for her. That's a good story. And it's only the first season! Who knows what awesome plot developments await in the remaining hundreds of eps. From being a borderline good series, I've completely changed my opinion of this series and shot it up to #69 best ever. It may be even better than that, but only time will tell.
I couldn't finish Daa Daa Daa, it's so bad, so I'm just waiting for something to replace it this winter season. Oh well, you can't win them all.
Monogatari's ending is in an awful place. I dearly hope they will continue the series to its proper ending (the showdown with Ougi) at some point. Perhaps 2015, after the light novels are done. Boy this season sure was good while it lasted though. Wow.
Outbreak Company and Valvrave had pretty rushed endings. Too bad. Non Non Biyori and Noucome didn't resolve anything with their endings too. Both could use some more eps, and luckily both are getting some additional OAV's so that's something.
Now to wait with anxious breath to find out if SAO's second season will be announced on New Year's Eve or not.

|Comparative analysis of the MAX pathway

|Availability of Full Text:
The pattern of branch outgrowth is a key determinant of the plant body plan. In most angiosperms branching is flexible, as branches are produced from axillary meristems which can either remain dormant or grow out. Strigolactones (SLs), a new class of plant hormones, repress branching in a range of angiosperms, including Arabidopsis, and there is increasing evidence that SLs are regulators of plant development in response to nutrient stress. This study has exploited genetic and physiological methods to investigate the evolution of SL biosynthesis and roles across the four major lineages of vascular plants. The cytochrome P450 family member MAX1 in Arabidopsis is required for the synthesis of SLs, and forms part of a signalling pathway containing at least four other genes in Arabidopsis and five in rice. Most other components of the strigolactone signalling pathway are conserved throughout the land plants, but MAX1 orthologues are absent from the moss Physcomitrella patens, which nevertheless produces SLs. Unlike other members of the pathway MAX1 orthologues have radiated in the angiosperms, particularly in the monocots. By use of complementation analysis this study presents evidence that MAX1 catalytic function is conserved in lycopodiophytes and gymnosperms, and that it may therefore have been incorporated into the SL pathway before the division of the vascular plant groups. In angiosperms the radiation of MAX1 gene copies has led to different evolutionary fates, of conservation of catalytic function in monocots, but divergence in dicots. Deletions of MAX1 orthologues have also contributed to natural variation in shoot architecture in domestic rice. In addition, this study presents evidence that the action of D27 in the biosynthetic pathway of SLs in rice is conserved in Arabidopsis. These genetic approaches are complemented with physiological investigation of the actions of strigolactones in non-angiosperm species, including spruce, fern and Selaginella species.
