T-Mobile US TMUS is an U.S. national provider of mobile communications services. Based in Bellevue, WA, T-Mobile US operates its flagship brands, T-Mobile and MetroPCS.
T-Mobile US is on track with its innovative network expansion methodologies and improvement plans, stellar network performance, deployment of LTE-U technology and offering of attractive unlimited data plans. This is supported by improving scale, healthy free cash flow generation, strong liquidity and valuable spectrum assets that also provide credit support.
Meanwhile, the company's share repurchases look encouraging. The stock buybacks were backed by the company's strong balance sheet and cash flow generation. The company is likely to maintain the flexible liquidity scenario in the upcoming quarter.
Additionally, the company's rating was upgraded to Ba2 by Moody's, with its rating outlook being confirmed stable. The company decided to roll out 600 MHz wireless spectrum in its footprints and has conducted successful Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) tests, live on its commercial network. T-Mobile US is also planning to team up with dark fiber partners to backhaul small cell densification project.
On the flip side, the company continues to struggle in a highly competitive and saturated wireless market where success depends on technical superiority, quality of services and scalability.Moreover, the domestic wireless industry is likely to become more competitive in 2018 with the entry of cable operators like Comcast and Charter Communications. Launch of several low-priced service plans for individual consumers and small business entities lead to high cash burn for the company.
Zacks Rank: T-Mobile US currently carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Will You Make a Fortune on the Shift to Electric Cars?
Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
It's not the one you think.

Day 5: One Day in O-hi-o October 26, 2006Posted by Bill Carroll in Cleveland, Ohio, Procter and Gamble.
October 25, 2006 11 PM
Somewhere over Indiana
I could tell it was time to turn in the rental car this morning. After you've had a few days on the road, all the trash tends to accumulate on the floor of the back seat behind the driver. My general rule is: When the back seat is full of trash, it's time to turn in the car. It was, and we did.
It was an early call for the flight to Cleveland through Detroit, but both flights went smoothly, then it was in a cab and out to Magnificat High School in Rocky River, OH. The cab ride was relatively uneventful, but if that 15 minutes was any indication, the Cleveland city motto is "Use Your Horn."
Magnificat is a Catholic girls school of about a thousand students, and we were at the school to present the official charter for their Chemistry Club. Our Chem Clubs program is a new pilot to determine whether there is interest in establishing a high school analog of our Student Affiliates. Interest seems to be high, and I hope the pilot goes forward to become a full scale program.
The advisor for the Chemistry Club is Betty Dabrowski. Betty is a long-time high school teacher and ACS member, innovative and respected. There were about twenty girls present, mostly juniors, for pizza and the ceremony. I had the chance to talk to most of them.
Their goals and planned courses of college study were quite diverse: from a French major to a budding ultrasound technologist. But they all had an ethic oriented toward public service in some fashion, and they were a pleasure to meet.
The pizza didn't match Turoni's, but that didn't prevent me from ramming down a couple of pieces. At 1 it was time to meet Mike Kenney and head on over to Case Western Reserve. Mike has taught at the university level, worked at ACS, been Director of the American Society for Materials, and now is teaching again at both high school and college level. He arranged for me to meet an introductory class of his.
The class and I discussed a number of issues that would matter to those students during their adult lives—disease, energy, you name it. I tried to leave them with the idea that there was no time when innovative technology solutions were more needed, and I hoped they would consider taking on the grand challenges.
Two rows up from the bottom was a group of four students who showed up in new black t-shirts with the message: πρ on the front. Pronouncing the Greek quickly comes out "Pi Rho" or "Pyro" which is an odd but not totally unimaginable message to be bringing to a chemistry class. Keep an eye on them in lab, Mike.
Sal Castenada arrived from DC and took over from Dennis as TOT (Techie on Tour) and will manage the web presence materials for the next couple of days. LaTrease is on the way back to DC as well, so we are officially without a HOTTIE (Handler on Tour, Taking in Everything). The WHATNOT (While Having a Title, No Obvious Talent) remains the same. By the way, Dennis got a favorable reading from the Evansville TSA on his clear, non Ziploc bag—"That'll work"–and made it home, no problem.
It was Italian for dinner and a salad for me. Yes, it was a House Salad. What's your point? The conversation was lively as Jesse Bernstein of the Hawken School joined us for dinner. Jesse is also a master teacher with 33 years of experience and great perspective. We exchanged notes on class demos (his were better) and educational policy, but quickly Mike headed us off to the final event.
The South Euclid-Lyndhurst branch of the Cuyahoga Public Library is housed in a 26-room early 20th century mansion and is both a peaceful and beautiful place to encounter books. During National Chemistry Week, kids can also encounter science, courtesy of the Cleveland Local Section.
Tonight Mike Zehe and Lou and Sue Velenyi organized hands-on chemistry in the form of concrete-making for a group of young girl scouts and a few others. The crowd was small but attentive, and I have a feeling that most of them went home motivated to repair the driveway before winter set in, but we didn't find out because Mike whisked us off to the airport for the trip to Indianapolis.
As an aside, today was the dedication of the Chemical Historical Landmark for the development of Tide laundry detergent at Procter and Gamble in Cincinnati. Tide was the beginning of modern detergent technology using "builders" in addition to detergents to clean clothes in hard water and do an improved job of removing dirt. It was a great party and Katie Hunt was there representing the Presidential succession.
I have great admiration for P&G, especially recently. I bought one of their Gillette division's new five-blade Fusion razors, and I love it. One wonders what the optimum number of blades is. One version of Moore's law seems to state that the number of blades on a standard razor doubles every five years.
But Fusion razors shave well, especially because they seem less likely to nick me. So good are these razors that I have found that I can use them to shave the hair on my ears without risk of a nick. Ears are sensitive places. Perhaps you've never had either a cut ear or a burst water supply pipe under your sink. Please don't ask exactly how I know, but from experience, I can tell you that liquid gushes from each at about the same rate. The ability to do a quick ear touch up on the road without a clipper is a real boon for those of us of a certain age who travel a lot without a barber on board.
It's in to Greencastle tonight; DePauw and Purdue tomorrow.

First Nations learn to map territories using Google Earth
Electronic mapping could help with land claims, proposed projects
Google Earth may soon extend its global gaze to some of the most remote First Nations territories in Canada.
Google employees will be teaching members from about 70 First Nations across the country how to chart their land on the application during a four-day Indigenous Mapping Workshop at the University of Victoria that starts Monday.
There will be two days of lectures followed by two days of hands-on training, with the goal of getting attendees to draw out their territories.
- Visit CBC Aboriginal for more top stories
The Firelight Group, which is hosting the event, expects the maps created during the project will be private, though First Nations may upload data online if they want to make it public.
He noted that interactions between wildlife, community, and water are just a few examples of the many things that can be represented on an electronic map, which he added, are also easier to use than traditional maps.
"Historically people would have had to look at paper maps and pull out another map if they wanted to see another layer and then pull out another map if they wanted to see another theme," DeRoy said. But electronic mapping technology allows people to look at several things at once.
Some First Nations are already well-versed in e-mapping, but DeRoy said many others are not due to a lack of resources and training.
Electronic mapping applications can cost thousands of dollars, making them unaffordable to many, however, the workshop hopes to make the technology more accessible by teaching people how to use Google Earth, which is free.
First Nations already using the application still have something to gain from the conference, DeRoy said, as people will also be discussing best practices.
"I think the dialogue is important," he said. "The software changes so fast that to be able to stay on top of these changing technologies can be a challenge for many nations."
The event is supported by the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs.
Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, president of the union, is expected to address the gathering.
"I think this conference has a lot to do with the evolution of technology," Phillip said.
The uses of e-mapping extend far beyond simply drawing borders around territories.
Documenting environmental change
Phillip said the technology could be used to document potential environmental damage occurring on First Nations lands, and to examine the consequences of accidents such as the recent Mount Polley tailings pond spill.
When you're discussing a land-use conflict issue, the first thing that comes out is the maps.- Grand Chief Stewart Phillip
"If you could develop a map showing all of the waterways that would be impacted by that spill, that would be a very graphic representation of the harm that has been inflicted on the environment," said Phillip. "I think issues like that will be discussed."
On Aug. 4, the Mount Polley tailings pond in B.C.'s Cariboo region was breached, sending millions of cubic metres of mining waste into nearby waterways, raising fears about environmental damage in the area.
Electronic mapping could also prove helpful in resolving land-claim conflicts.
"When you're discussing a land-use conflict issue, the first thing that comes out is the maps," Phillip said.
Roger William of the Tsilqhot'in First Nation said his group has been using electronic maps since 2009, and the software has been useful when holding discussions between his nation, government and businesses.
He said they provide everyone at the table with a faster way of looking at sites for proposed projects.
"It allows for a quicker flow," said William. "The government will put information on that map and we can respond."

The first step in monitoring using BizTalk360 is to create Alarms. Alarms in BizTalk360 acts like a package to associate things together. Example: You may want to monitor artifacts in few BizTalk applications together. Alarms help you to achieve this objective. While creating the alarm, you can also configure the notification channel through which you want to receive the alerts say e-mail, SMS, and so on. In BizTalk360, at the top level there are 3 main types of alarm you can create:
- Regular notification alarms (used for Health/Status check)
- Threshold violation alarms (used when a condition is violated, example receive location disabled)
- Data monitoring alarms (used to set up Data monitoring alerts on specific receive locations and/or send ports)
The create alarm screen is flexible; you can simply create a regular alarm, or a threshold alarm, or you can use the same alarm to monitor both regular and threshold condition. For more information about these, please read Daily Health Check/Status Notifications, Threshold based Monitoring, and Data Monitoring sections.
Creating An Alarm
To create an alarm in BizTalk360, you need to follow the steps below (general instructions):
- Log in to the BizTalk360 application
- Click 'Monitoring' tab in the Navigation panel on the left side of the screen
- Click 'Manage Alarms' tab
- Click 'New Alarm' and select the alarm type from the drop down. Enter a descriptive name for the Alarm, Email id (you can enter multiple email ids as comma separated values), and Alarm Description
User can enter multiple email ids as comma separated values to receive separate alerts to all email id's or enter semicolon separated email ids to receive single alert (email count) to all email id's in one go.
- Click Next to enter the Threshold Alarm page
- Select the 'Alert on threshold violation' check box if you want to be alerted upon a threshold violation. You have few options here like specifying persist duration, maximum alerts, positive notification and also you can restrict the threshold monitoring window between certain times (useful when you don't want to get alerted in non- business hours)
Click Next to enter the Status Alarm page
This step is optional, if you want to use the alarm for regular health/status check, you can select day(s)/time when you want to receive the status alert
Click Next to move to the screen to set up data monitoring alert. Select the check box "Use this alarm for Data Monitor Alerts" if you wish to associate the current alarm with the process monitors. Select the check box "Notify on Success as well" to receive success email alerts for the configured process monitors. If you do not choose the second check box, you will not receive the success email alerts
Click Next to move to the last section of adding the Advanced Settings information
All the settings in advanced settings page is optional. Set the phone number to receive the Notification SMS when the alert is triggered. As with the email ids, you can enter multiple phone numbers as comma separated valuesFrom v8.0, we have added the capability for BizTalk360 to be able to trigger notifications to custom external notification channels
- Click OK to create the alarm. The alarm will be created and you will be redirected to the Manage Alarms page. The Manage Alarms page will list the alarms that have been created for the environments
Click the sliders to view the alarm creation process.
Once you have created an alarm with the required settings, you can then associate various sections (receive locations, send ports, disks, NT services, event logs etc) you wanted to monitor with the alarm.
Best Practice
You create multiple alarms based on logical separations. Example: You may want to create a separate alarm to manage all the infrastructure related things like disks, NT Services, certain event log entries, CPU, Memory in BizTalk/SQL servers etc. You can also create alarms based on other logical separations such as Development Team, QA team, Production team etc. BizTalk360 alarms gives you full flexibility to achieve this.

Crab Cakes with Chimichurri Dressed Pea Sprouts & Avocado

My memories of savoring freshly prepared crab are very rustic and humble. I grew up on the East coast, where blue crab was plentiful. My mom would bring them home live from the market, and the lively critters would scamper in the paper bags, sometimes escaping. The sight of a crab scrabbling across our kitchen floor would make me scream and laugh, until mom deftly swiped it up with her tongs — a quick rinse under the faucet and into its bubbly, boiling fate it would go.
The crabs were sweet and tender, and in true Filipino fashion, the preferred dipping sauce was a garlic infused vinegar. My parents were always puzzled at how restaurants served crab with butter – why ruin an already good thing?
If you grew up with the opposite experience, you may find the vinegar and garlic off putting, but I assure you, it's not! It truly complements the crab's sweetness perfectly.
Now that I'm on the West coast, Dungeness crabs are my crabby meat. It's not nearly as sweet as blue crab, but because of their size, your hard shelling work is rewarded with larger lumps of luscious morsels. And because the flavors are milder, I can appreciate now how butter might come into play, but I still prefer my tangy and pungent flavors.
Tangy. Pungent. Spicy. These are the flavors I crave now, and it's no wonder that I have fallen in love with chimichurri sauce. Often seen served with Argentinian style grilled meats, I have found that I love drizzling the potent sauce on nearly everything. And you know what? It works like a charm on crab cakes.
Crab Cakes with Chimichurri Dressed Pea Sprouts & Avocado is an explosion of flavors I truly think you will enjoy. Cilantro, parsley & jalapeno add life to the lofty crab cakes, which have a light crunch from panko bread crumbs. Served on a little pool of chimichurri, the sauce cuts into the cakes like a grown up tartar sauce. Add some creaminess and crunch with avocado and some pea sprouts, and your crab cakes are dinner party ready.
[framed_box width="618″ bgColor="undefined" textColor="undefined" rounded="true"]
Crab Cakes with Chimichurri Dressed Pea Sprouts & Avocado
Serves 4.
Chimichurri Sauce
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 cups fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup fresh flat leaf (Italian) parsley
- ¼ cup sherry vinegar
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne
Crab Cakes
- 8 oz fresh Dungeness crab meat (or your favorite crab), cooked
- 4 tablespoons celery, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno
- zest of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cups fresh pea sprouts (or fresh micro greens)
- 2 avocados, sliced
Chimichurri Sauce:
Using a food processor, finely chop the garlic. Add cilantro, parsley, sherry vinegar, oil, cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pulse until herbs are finely chopped. Set aside or store tightly sealed in the refrigerator. Can be made a day or two in advance.
Crab Cakes:
Pick through the crab meat and remove all shells. Gently squeeze the crab meat to remove excess liquid. Combine the crab, celery, cilantro, parsley, jalapeno, and lemon zest in a bowl and stir. Add the mayonnaise and stir until it is well incorporated. Diving the mixture into 4 portions, form patties. If you have a 2 inch ring mold, that helps to form even patties, 2 inches wide and about 1 1/2 inches high. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until ready to cook and serve.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the tops and bottoms of the crab cakes with the panko crumbs. Heat olive oil in the skillet, add the crab cakes and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until the cakes are golden brown on both sides. If you wish, you can cook the second side by placing in a 350º oven for the last 3 minutes.
To serve, place one crab cake on a teaspoon of the chimichurri sauce. Toss pea sprouts in a few tablespoons of the sauce and place on the plate. Top sprouts with avocado slices and drizzle a bit of the sauce on top. Serve immediately.

Yes please! Liren, these are beautifully golden brown, and looking like they are pretty happy in that chimichurri. I know I would be happy with them in front of me.
What an interesting combination! I have never seen crab cakes and chimichurri paired together before. It looks fantastic!
Looks wonderful! Well done.

I'll tell you want…for this dish I would happily travel to either coast. Though I do love butter dripping from crab, I can't lie, this looks beyond amazing and I would be happy to take a detour and try something new. Absolutely stunning photos.
This is a lovely way to eat crab cakes. I grew up on blue crab in the east cost too. And, I'm still quite partial to the blue crab. When I lived in California, it's what I missed most.

Love, love, love this recipe! I have a can of jumbo lump crab sitting in my fridge that I've been pondering what to with…now I know! Many thanks and my compliments to your wonderful blog!
when u teased us with peek in twitter I knew it's gonna be good. This is classic presentation and the gorgeous green sauce .. my oh my am drooling!

I have just eaten, but this makes me hungry again! Looks delicious!
Erin @ Dinners, Dishes and Desserts
These would put my husband over the top! Crab cakes are one of his all time favorite dishes!
Elizabeth @ Saffron Lane
I adore your story about the crabs on the kitchen floor. Sounds like we had a similar upbringing, although mine included Maine lobsters scampering around on the kitchen floor (on purpose — hours of entertainment for the kids!). I'm definitely of the same mind when it comes to chimichurri, too. There's almost isn't a more perfect sauce.
I can just picture you playing with Maine lobsters as a little girl…the last time we prepared lobsters here, my son had the best time just playing with the antennae! Who needs toys when sea creatures are involved?
Holy yum! I absolutely adore crab cakes! These look so beautiful!
Joan Nova
It's funny you mention butter sauce…it was exactly because this was not a butter sauce that had me click on to the post. I totally agree with you and much prefer vinegar and garlic. Beautiful plating too.
Wow. Amazing recipe. I can't stop looking at your spectacular photography.
Yummy! These look absolutely gorgeous!! :)
Breathtakingly beautiful…they look delectable, too~
Nelly Rodriguez
Oh dear, these look delicious! the sauce plus avocados? lovely!
I've never tried vinegar and garlic with crab but I'm thinking that the taste must be similar to the way I prepare mine which is fresh chopped garlic and parsley and freshly squeezed lemon over boiled and cleaned crab legs and body meat. These crabcakes look delicious which is what caught my eye. I don't think I've ever made a crab cake but your recipe is putting big ideas into my head!!! Thanks for sharing a beautiful recipe!
Hi Dianna, the flavors do sound quite similar. Love the freshness that the parsley and lemon adds to your garlicky crab!
Scott @ Inexpensive Eating
Looks so good! A well-prepared crab cake is one of the best things in life.
Belinda @zomppa
I am drooling. I have such a soft spot for blue crabs!

I love those crabs appear on this recipe and the avocado looks great. I would love to try this one.
That chimichurri sauce sounds like my new best friend! yum!
Mimi from California Avocados Direct
What a beautiful way to enjoy avocados! We put avocados on almost everything, since we grow them on our family ranch. Crab cakes are a favorite too! We shared your post link on our Facebook page of avocado recipes today. Thank you! Facebook/Avocados_Direct
Mmmm, crab cakes! You got me thinking of cooking these since your teaser pic last night. I love the pairing with chimichurri sauce AND avocados, both I have to try now.
I think in where I am if I said out loud that these look amazing I would be drug through the streets. They are all about the 'Old Bay' and cocktail sauce. But if you promise not to tell anyone, I have to confess, these sound outstanding. I would have to try them in the cover of night with no one looking, but I bet they are worth it.
We'll have to have a chimichurri speakeasy of sorts, Kita, so you can try these one day!
These look like really special crab cakes and also the food photography is amazing. Thanks a lot for sharing.
These pictures are beautiful! And the food looks amazing, I love crab cakes & I bet this recipe is fantastic. Can't wait to try!
This takes crab cakes to a whole new level of deliciousness! Goodness, this looks just spectacular. Now I have to add this to my "Must-Cook" list. Thank you for sharing such a tasty eat. I hope you have a great weekend full of love and good food. Take care!

Will you deliver a dozen please ; ) Swoon!
To ensure proper freshness, I'll have to fly out there and make it for you :)
Great looking recipe! I have just thawed some crab meat out, hope to make this ASAP!
These crab cakes are stunning!! I have never made a chimichurri sauce and must :)
Hi Liren, I'm sure you are getting your children ready for school while you are so generously sharing this wonderful crab cake recipe with us, I don't know how you accomplish all that you do – but, I sure do enjoy your photographs and recipes!
I grew up the left coast enjoying Dungeness crab especially around the Christmas holiday season. Your crab cakes with chimichurri sauce look wonderful to me- no matter which coast you hail from this dish is a winner;-)
It's ages I didn't eat crab… And your crab cakes looks so mouthwatering !
Lisa { AuthenticSuburbanGourmet }
Chimichurri sauce is one of my weaknesses and paired with an incredible crab cake, now we are talking food nirvana. Your photos are stunning and what a wonderful recipe. Might just have to make this over the weekend. Have a good one Liren!!!
PriPriscilla - She's Cookin'
Lofty crab cakes indeed! Beautiful huge hunks of crab meat, L.O.V.E. Although I prefer to savor the crab's sweetness alone, i.e. no butter, your tangy chimichurri sounds amazing!
Liren, these are really, really beautiful . . . the color alone, makes me want to whip these gems together; this looks bright, fresh and light – unlike the mayo-heavy, red pepper sauce crab cakes of the South – I enjoy those too, but the flavor profile on this one looks divine!
I'm so with you on the vinegar dipping sauce over butter, but of course, our taste buds had similar training. :)
I love, love crab cakes but I've never thought to pair with chimichurri sauce. This is such a winner.
Have a great weekend, Liren!
It is an explosion of flavors…so tropical with the avocado side. Great post Liren!
Laurie Siegmund
I am catering an event and need to make crab cakes but can't be frying the amount I need at the facility. Can you bake these….they sound amazing.

Mushrooms are currently unavailable - check back!
Certified organic mushroom plugs for cultivation on logs. Once mushroom mycelium are established in your logs they will produce fresh organic mushrooms at your fingertips for years. Mushrooms are super nutritious and beneficial medicinally and are also a good source of riboflavin and niacin and contain no fat or cholesterol. Living in the Northwest, we are blessed with mushrooms everywhere when the rains come in fall. Our native favorites here in Oregon are Chanterelles and Chicken of the Woods. Each order will include instructions for setup and cultivation of your mushroom plugs. Once you have your plugs in the logs it is recommended to seal them with wax to prevent contamination, drying out and insects eating mushroom innoculant. It's easy to do. We recommend 1/2 pound per 100 plugs. Useful tip: It is important when choosing logs for your plugs to use freshly cut logs. Inoculate them within three weeks. If it is below freezing you can wait a little longer. The point is you don't want your logs to be infected by other fungi before yours take hold.

THE CATCHPHRASE: "God called me"
You've heard it. "I think God's calling me to be a mother." "Is God calling you to be a missionary?" "What do you think God's calling you to do?"
Do you ever wonder what God has called you to do?
REALITY: Is that God calls every single Christian.
And I know what you're thinking. Of course God calls every single Christian! And then you list off the pastors, the missionaries, the mothers, the doctors, the lawyers, the politicians, the evangelists, the conference speakers...
Or at least I did.
AND I WAS LIKE: sitting on my bed wondering what on earth God was "calling" me to do.
We've got this mindset that you need to twiddle your thumbs while you wait for some sign from heaven to come down and direct you to your next station in life. I'd really do something for You God - but You need to write it in the sky first!
Well. I don't recall Jesus telling us to wait to be 'called', but I do recall the saying:
If you love me you'll keep my commandments. {John 14:15}
Whether you have an official title of pastor, missionary, author, speaker - it doesn't matter. God already called you on day one.
It's not like God left you hanging, to guess what He wanted you to act on. He sorta left a rather obvious hint in a rather thick book. Take the first and greatest commandment. (which is, by the way: you shall love the Lord your God with all Your heart, soul and might) How about the second greatest commandment?
waiting to be called

Genetics 101
The genes involved in NF are important in controlling and stopping cell growth and division. If there is a gene mutation that causes the gene not to function correctly, cells continue to divide and a tumor forms. Therefore the genes are referred to as tumor suppressor genes because in their normal form they stop uncontrolled cell division.
Inheritance of NF
NF1/NF2: Approximately half of individuals with NF1 or NF2 inherit the condition from one of their parents. The other half develop it as the result of a spontaneous (also called new or de novo) change in one of the NF genes in the egg cell or sperm cell during conception. Both NF1 and NF2 follow autosomal dominant inheritance. This means that individuals with either of these conditions have a 50% chance of passing the condition on to their offspring. If a child inherits the NF gene, they will always show symptoms of the condition, however, it is difficult to predict the severity, especially in NF1. This is called variable expressivity. If a child of someone with NF does not inherit the NF gene, they do not have NF and therefore cannot pass it on to their future children. That is to say, NF cannot "skip a generation."
Schwannomatosis: The inheritance of schwannomatosis is less well understood and appears to involve more than one gene. Regardless, the majority of cases of schwannomatosis appear to occur by chance and are not inherited. However, once an individual has schwannomatosis, it may be inherited as an autosomal dominant condition and therefore, the chance of someone with schwannomatosis having a child with the condition may be 50%. Contrary to NF1 and NF2, not all individuals in a family with schwannomatosis will develop tumors or show signs of having the condition. This is called reduced penetrance.
Segmental/Mosaic NF
Segmental NF and mosaic NF are similar in that there is a mixture of cells with and without the NF gene change. It is thought that this is the result of a genetic change that occurred after conception leading to a combination of normal and abnormal cells. Individuals with segmental or mosaic types of conditions are at risk of having children with the genetic change in all of their cells and therefore may be more severely affected than the parent.
In segmental NF, the area that is involved is typically confined to a specific area of the body such as an arm, half of the body or along the spine.
- Segmental NF1 may appear as an area of the body with skin changes such as café-au-lait spots, freckling or neurofibromas. Some individuals may have an isolated finding of NF1, such as a plexiform neurofibroma, but no other signs of NF1. It is not known whether such isolated tumors represent true cases of segmental NF1 or whether they occur due to other causes.
- Segmental NF2 often appears as NF2-related tumors confined to a specific area of the body.
- Segmental Schwannomatosis accounts for 1/3 of individuals with schwannomatosis, and causes tumors limited to a single part of the body.
Contrary to segmental NF, in mosaic NF the affected area may not be confined to a specific area and may appear as a milder case of the condition or may affect various areas throughout the body.
For more information, please contact a genetic counselor or talk with your NF provider.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots take on Trinbago Knight Riders in the 29th match of the 2016 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, on Sunday (31 July).
Where to watch live
Match starts at 5pm BST. Live coverage of the game is available on BT Sport and Dave TV in the UK. The CPL T20 app will live stream every match, which is only available on Android phones. Click here to download the app.
St Kitts and Nevis finally come to the party in the last game, winning an inconsequential tie against Trinbago Knight Riders on 30 July to register what was only their second win of the tournament.
Evin Lewis showed once again why he is considered the next big thing of West Indies cricket, smashing 79 runs off just 40 balls, to take home the player of the match award.
The St Kitts bowlers too played their part, contributing at crucial moments to limit the Trinbago batsman. Skipper Faf du Plessis who on a personal note, has had a tournament to forget, will want his team to end their Caribbean sojourn on a positive note and will look to go all guns blazing on Sunday.
Their opponents, Trinbago Knight Riders come into this game knowing that even a loss here will not affect their position on the table, having already qualified for the knock-out stage.
They currently have eight points from nine games while Barbados Tridents, who have played all their 10 games, are in fifth place with seven points. Barbados loss to Guyana on 30 July, actually played into Trinbago's hands, ensuring that they sealed a spot in the play-offs.
What the Trinbago outfit will be looking for in this game is for their big game players to come into some sort of form, considering they are in all probability just three games away from winning their second consecutive CPL.
Trinbago Knight Riders to win
Betting odds (betfair)
- St Kitts and Nevis Patriots to win: 13/10
- Trinbago Knight Riders to win: 4/7

(it's like the camera is taking a picture but when I release my finger from the shutter release button it doesn't release) The only way to "get out of it" is to turn the camera off then back on. when i go to playback...it is a white picture. are my settings messed up and how do i avoid this in the future. Many picture moments are missed because of this!
The view finder "going black" on an SLR is caused by the mirror being up, which is also when the camera is actually taking the picture! The mirror sends the light from the lens to either the viewfinder or the sensor. When it's down, the light goes ... Nikon D80 Digital Camera with 18-135mm Lens

When I push the power-on button the LCD display briefly flashes on with the "Pentax Optio" screen and then switches off. The lens is stuck half-way open, and the camera will not stay powered up.

Is this a LCD issue, or are there other problems as well?

Not booting after a wine spill.
Hi all,
Wine spill accident involving small children! I tried to pour as much out before putting it in a dry rice 'bath'. Left it for a day and managed to get it to boot and load (with a few grains of rice getting shredded in a fan), the keyboard and track pad where unresponsive, with a 'no keyboard' message displayed, but I managed to use USB substitutes to log on and get a time machine backup. Keyboard and trackpad came back to life a couple of days later. But the whole time the fan was running full whack. So I decided to reset the SMC - and now it won't boot at all!!
So the question is what now? I've tried the SMC reset again but still nothing, MagSafe is green, is it worth opening it up and cleaning per the liquid damage guide on the site?
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

While a beautiful lush and healthy Buffalo lawn is something we all desire, there are some important drawbacks when Buffalo begins growing too quickly. The main concerns for homeowners whose Buffalo lawn is growing too fast will be increased lawn mowing requirements, and increased possibility of scalping the lawn as the thatch layer increases in thickness in-between lawn mowings.
And nobody wants to be spending every Summer's weekend mowing the grass, or putting their lawn at risk of scalping and yellowing if it's absolutely avoidable.
The key here will then be to bring balance between good lawn health, and having a manageable Buffalo Grass lawn.
Reasons For Buffalo Grass Growing Fast
There are a few different reasons why a Buffalo lawn will grow at faster than normal speed, so we need to track down the cause which is particular to our lawn and make a slight adjustment to the lawn care practice which is causing the overgrowth.
Too Much Water: this is by far the most common cause for Buffalo grass growing too fast - as a remedy, simply reduce watering times, aiming for no more than 2 waterings per week, and adjusting reticulation times until just the right balance of growth is achieved.
Too Much Fertiliser: by applying lawn fertiliser either too often, or in higher than recommended quantities, the Buffalo lawn will respond accordingly and produce excessive amounts of growth. To remedy - implement a good year-round fertilising program based on manufacturers recommendations and using quality lawn fertilisers.
Buffalo Grass Type: this is another very important reason why some Buffalo lawns grow at immense speed, and other Buffalo lawns do not. There can be very big differences between each of the Buffalo grass types in their growth rates, and as a direct result will be the corresponding increased lawn mowing requirements of each turf type. There really is no remedy to this if the lawn is already in the garden, except to try and slow growth rates in other ways. For new Buffalo lawn buyers, it would be very prudent to research each of the different Buffalo lawn types and their growth rates before purchase.
Slowing Buffalo Grass Growth Rates
Once the cause of the rapid lawn growth has been identified, it's simply a matter of continuing to slightly reduce either water or fertiliser amounts until a perfect balance of lawn health and lawn growth is achieved.
This balance should require the Buffalo lawn to me mowed no more than once every two weeks in the Summer time, with each mowing removing only one third of the leaf blade length in a single mowing.
Once this balance has been achieved, the formula for watering and fertilising will be adjusted slightly as the cooler times of year emerge, and then returning to these best lawn care practices once Summer arrives again.
Regular Lawn Mowing Is Important
If your Buffalo lawn is experiencing rapid growth, then it will become very important to continue regular lawn mowing frequencies which will match the growth rates of the grass.
This is because as the leaf growth is growing at speed, so too will be the thatch layer of the Buffalo grass. Buffalo lawn thatch must always be monitored and controlled by a process of regular lawn mowing. Once a Buffalo lawn has excessive amounts of thatch it can become extremely difficult to safely remove it.

Our eighth biennial ranking of business schools is based solely on the return on investment achieved by the graduates from the class of 2008. We surveyed 17,000 alumni at 100 schools regarding their pre- and post-M.B.A. compensation, career choice and location. We heard back from 27% of those graduates. Schools where we did not hear back from at least 15% of their alumni were not included in the rankings. We also did not include schools where alumni had a negative ROI after five years
We compared the alumni earnings in their first five years out of business school to their opportunity cost (two years of forgone compensation, tuition and required fees). We measure total compensation, including salary, bonuses and exercised stock options. We assume that compensation would have risen half as fast as their post-M.B.A. salary increases had these alumni not attended business school. The "5-year M.B.A. gain" represents the net cumulative amount the typical alumni would have earned after five years by getting their M.B.A. versus staying in their pre-M.B.A. career. The schools are all ranked based on their 5-year M.B.A. gain.
We adjusted the median 5-year M.B.A. gains for cost of living expenses and discounted their earnings gains using a rate tied to the discount rate used by large companies in their pension funds. We also discounted tuition to account for students who pay in-state rates and for the non-repayable financial aid that schools dole out. We did not deduct taxes from the earnings gains or account for the debt repayments from student loans.
We separate U.S. and non-U.S. schools in the rankings. Only business schools with two-year full-time M.B.A. programs were included in the U.S. ranking. The international schools include both one- and two-year programs. One-year programs have an advantage from an ROI standpoint because students only have one year of forgone compensation. We calculate each school's 5-year M.B.A. gain using data reported by the alumni in their local currency and then convert the gain using an average exchange rate over the past five years.

April 12, 2012
The Patrick McHenry predecessor (H.R. 2930) had preempted state-by-state blue sky laws, eliminating the costly start-up filing, legal, accounting and auditing fees often associated with public offerings.
The Senate bill preempts state laws, too, but then H.R. 3606 creates a whole new federal requirement for the very reviewed and audited financial statements once provided for under state law. This time, companies attempting to raise more than $100,000 must be reviewed by public accountants, and more than $500,000 fully audited.
According to Goingpublic.us, the cost of direct public offerings can range anywhere from $40,000 to $100,000, or even be as high as $1 million, depending on the complexity of each transaction. The bulk of those fees are directly related to accounting and auditing requirements.
So, that means a new business seeking to raise just $500,000 in capital through crowdfunding to produce, say, video games, will have to first incur an up-front cost of tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in fees.
Except, businesses typically attracted to crowdfunding venues like Kickstarter.com and Indiegogo.com often do not have any capital to speak of, let alone $40,000 to $100,000 to spend on lawyers and accountants. In many cases, they are brand new companies with no revenues or assets, so there will be very little to audit or account for. It is something of a superfluous requirement for many start-ups.
But worse, it creates a catch-22: to raise capital on the Internet, the company first needs a pile of money to meet the regulatory requirements. This is one of the reasons why the number of IPO's has dwindled in recent years.
So, start-ups may be back right where they started. Thanks to the rush to regulate in this new area of capital creation, Congress may have inadvertently defeated the entire purpose of the crowdfunding provision of the law. In part, this shows some lawmakers' ignorance of what crowdfunding even is.
A relatively new phenomenon, crowdfunding operates with small businesses raising small-dollar contributions from a large number of people, typically on the Internet. Web companies like Kickstarter.com have helped raise more than $100 million since it launched in 2009 for non-profits, low-budget film productions, video games, and other projects.
Slava Rubin, founder and CEO of Indiegogo, has said he intends to file to become a funding portal under the new law. "Well be able offer for-profit equity investments Small businesses need to find a way of getting capital right now," he said in an interview with Portfolio.com.
For now, individuals who pledge money to projects are enticed with rewards upon completion, such as a DVD or the video game itself, but cannot gain a stake in the company. These projects are already being funded without any complex scheme of mandatory accounting and auditing. And despite there being no mountain of regulations, funded projects are typically completed without complaint.
"If we had a lot of fraud going on wed be out of business," Rubin noted.
Why Congress felt the need to include such onerous and costly requirements is anyones guess, but they now present a challenge to crowdfunding venues that would still like to cater to start-up companies that simply dont have the money to pay for the mandatory accounting and auditing.
Heres a suggestion for the SEC. Allow crowdfunding portals like Indiegogo or Kickstarter to cover the accounting and auditing costs by either hiring or contracting out those services to a third party, and then folding the costs into the price of using the funding portal. Create a specific process for this. That way, crowdfunding portals can still attract new and upcoming entrepreneurs and the intent of the law be realized.
If done on a large scale, these fees can be made affordable (think: LegalZoom.com), and give these crowdfunding venues an edge over some of their Wall Street competitors that were charging tens of thousands for such services -- a barrier to entry for new start-ups.
Despite some of the redtape created by H.R. 3606, Congress is to be praised for their efforts to help raise unrestricted capital on the Internet. This may yet help free up some $6 trillion in savings to be used readily in investments, and potentially create millions of jobs.
But now the hard work begins for the SEC and crowdfunding portals to cut through the red tape, and make certain it is still accessible to new businesses that have no capital, just the next big idea.

Thanks again, Rachel. This was fun.ReplyDelete
Way cool, article, Bobby. Very informative. Those covers are terrific.ReplyDelete
Great article, BobbyReplyDelete
A shame, though, that a part of that Last Will and Testament on the back cover will be covered by the ISBN & barcode. The front and back covers, however, are brilliant. Very well done, Bobby :)ReplyDelete
Thanks, guys. Much appreciated.ReplyDelete
Frank, you're absolutely right. That was a lesson learned that I was better prepared for on Earthstrike Agenda. Sometimes you have to learn from experience.
Thanks for the helpful article--and for letting us see the final cover. Looks great! And, crime noir is my cuppa, so, off to the Amazon!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the kind words, Texanne. Glad you found it helpful. This was definitely a challenge, but I learned a lot and learned even more doing my second cover.ReplyDelete
I hope you enjoy the novel.
It is great when one finds useful posts like this! Thank you for sharing (and for friend request at FB too :)! I bet many writers will like my suggestion too: using sites like zazzle.com, cafepress. com, fiverr? They could be a good way to promote your works and to help "remove" stupidity in the streets like headlines on t-shirts, fridge-magnets, cups, etc: My Boyfriend kisses Better Than Yours, FBI - female body inspector, etc. Not everything we see and think of should be about sex, right? It would be much better if there were more nice pictures of mythical creatures, good thoughts, poems from fantasy genre, etc? I'm allanbard there, I use some of my illustrations, thoughts, poems from my books (like: One can fight money only with money, Even in the hotest fire there's a bit of water, Money are amongst the last things that make people rich, orReplyDelete
Let's watch the moon, let's meet the sun!
Let's hear soon the way the Deed was done!
Let's listen to the music the shiny crystals played,
let's welcome crowds of creatures good and great...
etc). I bet many could appreciate such lines much more than the usual we see every day? Best wishes to all fellow writers! Let the wonderful noise of the sea always sounds in your ears! (a greeting of the water dragons'hunters - my Tale Of The Rock Pieces).
That is cool! Thanks for sharing! I like seeing how others do their covers!ReplyDelete
Thanks, everyone.ReplyDelete

Sooji ka Halwa
For all our love of sweets, sooji ka halwa as we call it (or rava kesari as the husband calls it or goda sheera as I call it) is something that I had made very, very rarely in the first few years of marriage. Yes, I know how ridiculous it must sound. After all, sooji ka halwa is so easy to make, it tastes divine and almost everybody loves it.
The problem with sooji ka halwa is that though it is easy to make, it is as easy to mess up.
And, well my first attempt at making it was quite a disaster. I think the husband must have been quite scared off by that attempt for whenever I would offer to make sooji ka halwa, he would always come up with some alternatives. "Why don't you make some fruit salad instead? Or, how about some payasam? Or, let us get some ice cream." You get the drift, right?
"Hmmm...now this is going to be interesting!"
I don't think he missed eating sooji ka halwa. I mean, if he did, wouldn't he have asked my MIL to make whenever we went visiting or when she came over?
Then, my daughter had sooji ka halwa on a playdate and took a liking for it. When she started demanding that I make it at for her, the husband very amused.
A long call to mom and some detailed instructions later, I was all ready to tackle sooji ka halwa. Turned out that making sooji ka halwa was after all really very, very easy.
Here's how I make it:
Semolina: 1 cup
Milk: 2 cups
Water: 1/2 cup
Ghee/Clarified butter: 3 tbsps + 1 tbsp
Sugar: 3/4 cup (you could also increase it to 1 cup if you like it sweeter, I use 3/4 cup)
Cardamom powder made from crushing about 8-10 cardamom pods)
Salt: a pinch
some raisins, cashewnuts and almonds
Banana: 1 medium sized
In a small vessel, combine the milk and the water, toss in the raisins, if using, and bring it to a boil.
While the liquid boils, pour the semolina into a wok and start roasting it. Once it is warmed, say 2 minutes later, add 3 tbsps ghee to it. Continue to stir - and stir constantly (a little inattention and the semolina can burn) and roast till the semolina turns light brown in colour and emits a wonderful aroma.
(My mom says that when the aroma can be detected from a distance is when the semolina is roasted right).
Once the liquid comes to a boil, slowly pour it into the roasted semolina, stirring constantly. (Careful when pouring as a plume of steam rises up when the milk hits the semolina in the pan).
Stir well and flatten lumps, if any, with the back of the spoon. Then cover the pan and steam on a low heat for about 4-5 minutes.
Stir again, scrapping off any semolina stuck to the bottom of the pan. Then add the sugar, cardamom and nutmeg powders and a pinch of salt. Cover and steam again for another 5 minutes.
Then add in the mashed banana, if using, and give it a good stir. Finally, add a tbsp of ghee, mix well and serve hot.
"Don't feed me baby food!"
I tasted the halwa and did a little celebration dance in the kitchen. It was delicious! I expected him to similarly exult, but he had was a puzzled look on his face. He tasted it and then tasted it again. "Bananas?" he frowned. "Oh I get it. One of your 'make everything healthy – sneak in fruits and vegetables wherever possible' experiments!"
"Experiment? What are you saying....wait a minute....haven't you had sooji ka halwa with bananas before?"
Turned out that indeed he had never had it. Yeah, go figure that!
"Whaaaattttt.....you are not really serious, are you?"
Even with the bananas, he did relish the sooji ka halwa but halfway through his serving, there came on his face a look of complete disbelief and a mild disgust. He was looking at my bowl as if a cockroach had fallen into the bowl! But the only thing that was there in my bowl was some mango pickle. He simply couldn't believe what he was seeing.....halwa with pickle? I was equally perplexed at his disbelief. I mean how can anyone not like sooji ka halwa with mango pickle?
It is without doubt the best way of enjoying the halwa – in a spoonful, there is a medley of flavours – the sweet halwa, the sour and spicy pickle and the gentle whiff of bananas – all coming together in a taste experience that is tongue tickling and unlike any other.
So, the next time you make sooji ka halwa, forget garnishing it with almonds and cashewnuts. Use some pickle instead. You'll love it, I promise.
This is my entry to Sharmi's CFK - Festive Foods that Suma is hosting this month.

Never had sooji halwa with pickles, will try out next time..cute looking halwa..ReplyDelete
nice recipe,..will try ur version,,:-)ReplyDelete
I have never heard of halwa with bananas, let alone pickles :-) I did have the rawa kesri with pineapple, so now i understand the combo of fruit with it.ReplyDelete
My kids love sooji halwa too, breakfast, snack and dessert kind of love. which is really good right? I sneak healthy stuff too; I use almond meal and cook it with sooji . If I did not tell you, you would not know it is there.
Wow.. Aqua.. that's exactly how we make it and eat it too! :D Banana, pickle, the works! I didn't realize till I read your post that this was so unusual. Lovely description of your interactions in this post! :)ReplyDelete
Sooji halwa with pickles is a wonderful combination. I just love it.ReplyDelete
Pickle and halwa!!!!! oh my god. thats a totally new combi and makes me feel interested about it. I love such crazy combination :) got to try it out next time :)ReplyDelete
BTW the first pic looks fantastic :)
Outrageous! :) I've never heard of this halwa-pickle combination, though I have heard of other such combinations. Like papad and payasam! Have never had that myself.ReplyDelete
When a friend from the TN-Kerala border told me of savoury wheat upma mashed with ripe banana and eaten with sugar, I told him not to kid me! :)
And it was only through the blogs that I came to know of sooji banana halwa. I know of pineapple rava kesari, of course - a staple at weddings in one part of the South!!!
Thanks for the lovely entry. We love banana halwa too. It's a regular one at my home.ReplyDelete
Sooji halwa with pickle...now thats something I haven't heard or tried.ReplyDelete
Priya, you are one amazing foodie and I am sure you will quite enjoy the combo.ReplyDelete
notyet, thank you for trying it out.
SS, I think this combo is very Maharashtrian and not very common anywhere else. Thank you for liking the post.
Bergamot, glad to come across another person who digs this combo.
Soma, almond meal sounds like a fantastic idea. How much would you suggest I put in halwa made from 1 cup of semolina?
Nithya and Rachana, for someone who has not heard of it before, I am sure it must sound weird, but do go ahead and try it!
Sra, you won't believe this, but once I (force) fed my daughter some coconut milk payasam and the only way she would have it was in between some bites of a papad!
But the the savoury wheat upma with mashed banana....sounds well, intriguing!
Suma, glad you liked the entry.
hi aqua,ReplyDelete
Love to read ur post and I'd maintain this always :)
I agree with all the major tips on the sooji halwa and can vouch for it.
We make banana sooji halwa for sathya narayan pujas here in SouthIndia, and it's always a special preparation!(I make it whenever a craving creeps in :))
Crzy combinations...again am with u..I've tried halwa with pickle, ketchup and chutney powder too ;)
so does that reach the height of craziness..lol
Wishing wellness, prosperity and happiness this Diwali to u and ur loved ones!
Have a beautiful celebration!!
bananas in halwa ? No never heard of it! But I love halwa with Pickle! Thats the best way to eat it...ReplyDelete
Yummy halwa...an anytime comfort food.ReplyDelete
I will try making it ...but leave all that away ...i want to say to you one thing I really really enjoyed reading your entire narration of how to make sooji ka halwa :)ReplyDelete
You have a great writting skill i must say :)
It is not just about the ingredients or the recipe, good food happens when it is served with love!!

Yep, they aren't. Champs League is the same. All bows in respect of money.
I suppose I just don't much like change. Still feel it should be a Wednesday evening
Which would be the first time we've been involved in a 0-0 for 70 games!
We'll win 15-0 and Hibbert will get a brace.
