October 17
I'm near the end of Generation of Chaos: Pandora's Reflection. Chose not to fight Cherie because after Dimitri I had 1 character with 1 HP left... Yeah it was that close. My strategy (or lack thereof) is to kill everything on the map then go for the boss, pretty straight forward, no running around, no defending strategy points of unit points. I need to level a bit and than I guess I'll take on Cherie. If this is a good end, bad end thing, I'm not training for it, I would need to level up a lot to clear 3 maps in a row since I barely survived 2.
Yesterday I watched Un-Go, the full series and the prequel, it's kind of like Majin Tantei Nogami Neuro with a role reversal. In Neuro, he is the monster and Yako is the detective, and in Un-Go, the monster is a girl Inga and Shinjiro is the detective, both monsters pretend to be the assistant of their detective partner, though they have their own reasons to tag along. Neuro eats puzzles and Inga eats truths. Neuro needs the puzzles to be solved to eat them, so technically he is consuming the answers, like Inga. Shinjiro and Yako are both very perceptive and have the ability to figure out people's true intentions by observing them. However, they both have a rival detective that they feel they can't catch up with, in Yako's case in Neuro himself, though on several occasions it has been shown that both detectives need to learn to give themselves more credit as they are both rather self sacrificing. Inga wears a panda hat and Neuro can turn into a parrot monster, Neuro has lots of gadgets to investigate and Inga has the ability to ask 1 question per person (in that person's whole life) which must be answered with the truth. Both Yako and Shinjiro asked their monster partners for the answer to some mystery of their lives in exchange for feeding them via solving crimes (usually murders) with their detective business. Neither monster gave an answer, but various circumstances provided the detectives with the opportunity to find their respective answers for themselves. I didn't like Un-Go as much as Neuro, but it was still a very amusing series and not too long, 11 episodes plus the prequel which is like 12 or 13 since the prequel is nearly an hour.
Watched Lucario & the Mystery of Mew, I've been meaning to watch it since I only saw a portion of it before and Rocketlord's Pokemon novel The Enigma Chronicles: Sedition http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8299923/1/ got me curious to watch the whole movie. Speaking of Fanfiction Net, I still can't copy and paste stories into my reader software so I haven't listened to the latest chapter of The Swan Maiden http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8894049/24/ sad I watched Ponyo today and now I'm watching the Appleseed series, I've already seen the movies. Not sure if the series is like an AU or if the connection is just not obvious. I like the movies better so far. The characters feel a bit ooc. Edit: Yeah definitely AU, badass movie Deunan is better.

Pick Your Packet: Choosing The Best Sugar Substitute
Which is your favorite sweetener packet –white, pink, blue or yellow? That would be white for regular white sugar, pink for saccharin (Sweet 'N Low), blue for aspartame (Equal), and yellow for sucralose (Splenda) — the most common ones found in restaurants and used in artificially sweetened drinks. The New York Times recently did a roundup of sugar substitutes, a timely topic in light of the fact that New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg recently proposed a ban on super-sized, 32-ounce …

Leadership Plainview class graduates
Published 2:00 pm, Friday, May 11, 2012
The Plainview Chamber of Commerce announced the 28th graduating class of Leadership Plainview on Wednesday.
Departing from the typical classroom lecture model, the nine-month program instead takes a dynamic approach that allows participants an opportunity to polish their leadership skills and learn about the local community. Class discussions and field trips throughout the area offer class members a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the community's inner workings.
"The Plainview Chamber has several events that are 'shining stars,' and Leadership Plainview is certainly one of those," Chamber Executive Director Linda Morris said. "The business community in Plainview understands that the more we know about our businesses as a whole, the more we can help each other. Promoting leaders from within Plainview has a positive impact in retention and growth of businesses and their management staff. We are very proud of our past and future Leadership Plainview participants."
V.O. Ortega, operations manager for Atmos Energy and current Chamber president, agreed.
"I myself am a past graduate of Leadership Plainview," Ortega said. "It's just a great program. Whether someone is new to our town or a long-time resident, the class provides a great overview of what the Plainview community has to offer."

The unrivalled success of both Liverpool and Manchester United over the years makes any match-up between them THE one to watch.
Ahead of Manchester United v Liverpool this weekend the question of whether it is still English football's biggest game rears its head once again and in all honesty, It should not even be up for discussion.
In light of what both clubs have achieved over the years, the hardship they have had to deal with and their close proximity there really is no rivalry that compares.
When United take on Liverpool and vice versa, the whole world sits up and takes notice. Can Arsenal v Chelsea, Tottenham v Arsenal etc say the same? Doubtful.
Perhaps in a one off season where both teams are going for the title. What Manchester United v Liverpool does is consistently engage us, each club seeking to outdo the other to either take or maintain the title of England's most decorated football club. On that premise alone the meeting of both sides will have so much more at stake than merely the three points. The pride lies not only in performing for the fans, but more importantly showing the footballing world who is top dog from these shores.
It does not matter that Manchester United are in a slump at the moment and Liverpool are riding the crest of a wave. Wherever these teams are in the league, their meeting will cause the hearts of even neutrals to occasionally flutter.
Manchester United have amassed twenty league titles to Liverpool's 18. Liverpool have secured five European cups to Manchester United's three.
United had to come out of the traumatic period that followed the Munich Air Disaster as Liverpool did Hillsborough and Heysel. What these clubs have experienced has made them and their fans undoubtedly stronger and one only need to look at the Justice for the 96 Campaign for as an example of that.
All these things give so much more meaning to each club and in turn their rivalry. It transcends football and why many of those uninterested in the sport will be just that little bit curious as to know who came out on top on Sunday after the latest chapter in this long and storied battle.

Long before she was Carole King, chart-topping music legend, she was Carol Klein, Brooklyn girl with passion and chutzpah. She fought her way into the record business as a teenager and, by the time she reached her twenties, had the husband of her dreams and a flourishing career writing hits for the biggest acts in rock 'n' roll. But it wasn't until her personal life began to crack that she finally managed to find her true voice.
Beautiful – The Carole King Musical tells the inspiring true story of King's remarkable rise to stardom, from being part of a hit songwriting team with her husband Gerry Goffin, to her relationship with fellow writers and best friends Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann, to becoming one of the most successful solo acts in popular music history. Along the way, she made more than beautiful music, she wrote the soundtrack to a generation.
Photos! Motown Legend Berry Gordy Rocks Out with the Cast of Beautiful on Broadway
For purposes of transparency in advertising, "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical" should probably be titled "Brooklyn Girl." This renaming would allow theatergoers to know exactly what to expect of the friendly, formulaic bio-musical that opened on Sunday night at the Stephen Sondheim Theater, starring an immensely likable Jessie Mueller.
A Songwriter Who Found Her Voice
You see, "Brooklyn Girl" — I mean, "Beautiful" — has been modeled with sheepish but cold calculation on "Jersey Boys," the Broadway megahit that's been packing 'em in since 2005. In tracing the careers of the pop group the Four Seasons through a parade of their hit singles (connected by a by-the-numbers script), "Jersey Boys" demonstrated that you can't go broke helping AARP members recall the soundtrack of their youths.

Steven Holl — Buildings
Simmons Hall, designed by Steven Holl, is a college dormitory envisioned as a "vertical slice of city" ten stories tall. Like a city, it has housing, dining, and entertainment facilities. It incorporates a variety of openings to take advantage of natural light and air. Each of the dormitory single rooms has nine windows set deep in the wall to help shade summer sun.
Now under construction, the Linked Hybrid building in Beijing is another city within a structure. Each of the eight towers is linked to the others by a twenty-story-high ring of retail establishments, catering to the needs of the structure's 2,500 inhabitants.
Another structure tied to a vineyard, the Losium Hotel Wine and Spa Resort in Austria was constructed to highlight the area's 900-year-old wine vault system. The hotel has fine restaurants and convenient access to the historic underground vaults.

Earlier this week, UK retailer John Lewis reported that the next-gen iPod Touch is going to come with a 5 megapixel camera along with LED flash, just like the iPhone 4. Delving deeper, MacRumors contacted iFixit's Kyle Wiens and inquired as to whether or not a 5MP camera could even fit into the current iPod Touch design. As opposed to the iPhone 4, the 3rd-gen iPod Touch has a rounded design that isn't as space friendly as the iPhone.
As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, so take a look below at the iPod Touch on the left and the iPhone 4's camera on the right.
Obviously, Apple would have to re-design the iPod Touch to make way for a 5 megapixel camera and perhaps do away with the rounded design that has defined the Touch and the first few iterations of the iPhone. So will the 4th gen iPod Touch look something like the iPhone 4?
Don't bet on it.
Now comes word via 9to5Mac indicating that reports of a 5MP camera were erroneous. Instead, 9to5Mac's sources indicate that Apple is planning to include a 3.2MP camera in the next-gen iPod Touch and that Apple isn't planning to re-design the iPod to more closely resemble the squared-off iPhone 4. If you recall, the current iPod Touch was originally supposed to come with a built-in camera but last-minute technical difficulties forced Apple to temporarily put that feature on the sidelines.

Distinction in Writing: Writing in Off-Campus Communities
The purpose of completing a degree in residence on the GVSU campus is to ensure a coherent experience among the university's graduates. This component gives you the opportunity to use your writing, reading and design skills beyond the campus setting for the benefit of local or regional residents.
Activities in this component are volunteer activities that serve a community organization of some kind. Each year, the Writing department will publicize a number of volunteer opportunities arranged specifically for students with abilities in writing, reading, or document design. The department will co-sponsor these activities through organizations such as the Heart of West Michigan United Way and the Grand Rapids Public Schools, aiming primarily to serve needy urban populations. Students will be connected to a liaison from the sponsoring organization, and they will be given a specific job or project to work on. The examples below may count as either Level A or Level B activities, dependent on your time/product commitment.
- Meet weekly after school in a middle school tech lab with the student staff of the monthly school newsletter, tutoring students in both newsletter writing and document design.
- Conduct resume-writing and business-correspondence tutorials with women preparing for the job market while pursuing their GED high-school equivalency diploma through the Vandenberg Adult Education Center.
- Respond weekly to the writing of one teacher's 3rd-8th graders as the students practice for the annual MEAP test in the Language Arts.
- Develop promotional materials (brochures, posters, web pages) for the Community Media Center's Future Kulture program supporting youth and media.
- Conduct weekly tutorials with resettled adult refuges through Catholic Human Development Outreach's Intensive Vocational English program.
- Develop promotional materials (brochures, public service announcements, programs, web pages) for the annual Arts Jam fundraising event promoting art and music programs in the public schools.
Because you will be participating as an unofficial representative of GVSU's Writing department, you should seek approval from your advisor. We do not want to contribute to the already-high rate of turnover among community volunteers, and the best way to do that is to make sure that you are matched with the right program.

Study Provides Compelling Evidence of Single Impact Extinction Theory 382
ectotherm writes to tell us that a new study at the University of Missouri-Columbia claims to provide compelling evidence that a single meteor impact was the cause of animal extinction 65 million years ago. From the article: "MacLeod and his co-investigators studied sediment recovered from the Demerara Rise in the Atlantic Ocean northeast of South America, about 4,500 km (approximately 2,800 miles) from the impact site on the Yucatan Peninsula. Sites closer to and farther from the impact site have been studied, but few intermediary sites such as this have been explored."

Dedication This book is dedicated to the memory of Ole Winther Christensen (1951–1998), Director of the Geological Survey of Denmark (DGU) from 1990 to 1995 and the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) from 1995 to 1998. From its conception in the early 1990s, the 'Jurassic book' has benefited from the progressive integration of Danish geological institutions. This began in 1995 with the amalgamation of DGU with the Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) to form GEUS and culminated in 2002 with the opening of the Geocenter Copenhagen, a conglomeration of GEUS, the Danish Lithosphere Centre (DLC), the Geological Museum and the Geological and Geographical Institutes of the University of Copenhagen. Ole Winther Christensen played a key role in both these positive developments in Danish geology. Sadly, he was not to experience the full realisation of the Geocenter Copenhagen concept due to his untimely death in 1998.
Denmark, southern Sweden and the Netherlands
Danish Central Graben
Danish Basin and Fennoscandian Border Zone
East Greenland
The Jurassic sedimentary successions of Denmark and East Greenland accumulated on opposite sides of a complex rifted seaway between present-day Greenland and Northwest Europe. The Mesozoic–Cenozoic sedimentary basins created along this seaway are of major importance both scientifically, as they preserve a record of the early evolution of the North Atlantic region, and economically as one of the rift arms contains the North Sea petroleum province. The Jurassic System, in particular, has been the focus of intensive study in Northwest Europe and Greenland. Not only has this system, since the days of William Smith, been at the forefront of stratigraphic research but it also forms a critical component of the North Sea hydrocarbon province, yielding both the most important source rocks and a wide range of sandstone reservoirs. Although the stratigraphic development of the Jurassic in Denmark and East Greenland can be compared at a number of levels, the nature of the occurrences in the two regions is very different. The Jurassic of East Greenland is one of the world's best-exposed ancient rift basins and is widely regarded as a classic 'field laboratory'. The Jurassic strata are exposed in spectacular cliff sections that provide unique opportunities for detailed research into process sedimentology, genetic stratigraphy and 3D sedimentary architecture. The Danish Jurassic strata, in contrast, have limited outcrop but are well known from the subsurface, both on land and beneath the waters of the North Sea. The papers collected in this volume reflect this contrast – the stratigraphic evolution of East Greenland has been deciphered primarily on the basis of detailed outcrop geological studies whereas the corresponding stratigraphic analyses of the Danish Basin and the Danish sector of the Central Graben are largely dependent on 'remote' subsurface data. Jurassic stratigraphic research in Denmark over the last two decades has benefited immensely from the interaction between these two contrasting yet complementary approaches. The origins of this book go back to the early 1990s when the idea was mooted for a book on the 'Jurassic of Denmark and adjacent areas', initially with a view to publication of the main results of Ph.D. studies that were underway at the Geological Survey of Denmark (DGU) at that time. In 1995, with the amalgamation of DGU with the Geological Survey of Greenland (GGU) to form the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), the conceptual framework of the book expanded to include the Jurassic of East Greenland, a research area that was under sharp focus both at GGU and at the University of Copenhagen. As the editing of the book entered the final phase, the Geological Survey relocated to the new Geocenter Copenhagen – a centralised amalgam of the Survey (including the Danish Lithosphere Centre) and the Geological and Geographical Institutes and the Geological Museum of the University of Copenhagen. From conception to publication, therefore, the book charts the changing structure of some of the central geological research bodies in Denmark, and its completion coincided with the inception of a new integrated natural science research centre.
The central aim of the book is to present the results of an intense period of research activity in Denmark on the Jurassic System over the last fifteen years – and, where relevant, to present these results at a comprehensive level that is almost impossible in modern scientific journals. Although covering a range of subjects, the common thread that runs through the book is the detailed documentation of the history of the Jurassic rift system as recorded in the sedimentary basins of Greenland and Denmark. Particular areas of focus include: (1) the sedimentary and stratigraphic signatures of syn-rift successions, whether revealed by detailed outcrop study or on the basis of integrated reflection seismic, petrophysical and core data; and (2) testing and application of sequence stratigraphic models and concepts at a variety of scales and in different structural settings. Although focussing on broad geoscientific topics of general relevance, the book also provides data of specific value to the hydrocarbon industry. The Danish Basin and, in particular, the Danish Central Graben are prospective basins with exploration histories stretching back nearly fifty years. A number of Jurassic fields are under development and production in the Danish Central Graben, and exploration interest remains high. The structural, sedimentological and stratigraphic papers in this volume thus represent a direct source of essential data for the hydrocarbon industry. The onshore East Greenland basins, in contrast, are not prospective per se , yet the detailed sedimentological and stratigraphic analyses included here will be of particular interest to petroleum geologists both as direct stratigraphic analogues of the succession on the conjugate margin (mid-Norway shelf) and as reservoir analogues or case studies applicable particularly to the North Sea region but also valid elsewhere.
Introductory chronostratigraphic reviews of the Lower, Middle and Upper Jurassic were planned from the outset, and contributions were solicited from three international authorities in this field, together with a paper on the Jurassic of southern Sweden. Furthermore, a review of the Jurassic of the Netherlands was invited from the Geological Survey of the Netherlands (RGD) for comparative purposes, building on previous close stratigraphic co-operation between DGU and RGD in the late 1980s. The aim has been to produce a book that is as balanced and consistent as possible, in terms of content, terminology and appearance. Given the range of subjects covered, however, a certain degree of heterogeneity is inevitable and full consistency in terminology cannot be achieved. The Gradstein et al. (1994) timescale is used in most cases but the Haq et al. (1988) and Harland et al. (1990) time-scales are employed by some authors; in all cases, the origin of the time-scale used is clearly indicated. Several forms of chronostratigraphic terminology are in common use, all being inherently logical and fully acceptable; particularly prevalent are the 'Standard Zone' nomenclature (Callomon & Donovan 1974) and the 'chronozone' terminology, as laid down in the International Stratigraphic Guide (Salvador 1994). Editorial flexibility has been exercised here, although consistency within individual articles was required. To enhance uniformity, a common graphical style has been imposed wherever possible; detailed sedimentary logs are somewhat variable, however, being dictated by different individual styles and demands. In an enterprise of this type, undertaken over a number of years, there are clearly many people both in Denmark and abroad who have helped us towards publication. The research projects that formed the initial stimulus behind the book were supported both by state funding – the Danish Energy Agency (Energy Research Program, EFP), the Danish Natural Science Research Council (SNF), the Danish Research Academy and the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) – and by the private sector, including Amerada Hess, Amoco, British Petroleum, the Carlsberg Foundation, Conoco, Mærsk Olie og Gas, Norsk Hydro, Saga Petroleum and Statoil. The long-term support of Danish geological research by these funding bodies and companies is gratefully acknowledged. We are also indebted to a long list of international referees; their contribution is acknowledged elsewhere but their importance in upholding the international standard of the papers bears repetition. During the scientific and technical editing phase, we have leaned heavily on three key personnel: Hanne B. Sørensen, who converted editorial hieroglyphics into ordered manuscripts; Birgit Eriksen, who meticulously checked final manuscripts and proof copies; and Stefan Sølberg whose skilled graphical imprint is engraved on almost every illustration in the book. On editorial matters, we have also benefited greatly from close co-operation with Peter R. Dawes and Esben W. Glendal in the editorial office at GEUS. In the latter stages we have been increasingly reliant on the professional layout work by Carsten E. Thuesen. To all the above, we offer our heartfelt thanks. Jon R. Ineson Finn Surlyk

Today is Cyprus' Labor Day. In honor of this holiday, I am going to share with you our story of the boys getting their first hair cuts – Piano Man in the States and Linus in Cyprus. Enjoy!
When Piano Man was very young, about three months old, he had the Donald Duck hair-flair look. It was quite cute, but I asked Prof to cut it for a more uniformed look. He got a uniformed look all right, a one of a kind Buddhist monk hairstyle. It was so cute, but perhaps a bit too young for an infant to get a haircut.
For Linus' hair, I asked Prof to not give him a cut – to just wait and see what happens. We gave a couple of snippets in the back before we left for Cyprus, and then again while in Cyprus with Piano Man's blunt kid school scissors.
However, Linus' hair has a mind of its own. It grows and grows, and once it starts to inhibit his ability to see, that's when we knew he needed his baby fine hair cut. Prof used Piano Man's scissors again, and cut about two inches off the front! I mean, huge chunks were falling everywhere. By the time Prof was done, he looked like a friar from one of Shakespeare's plays.
As the weather is getting unusually hot (in the 90 degrees F) for April, the kids' sweat glistened in their hair, and we knew they needed something with a little more oomph. Piano Man's haircut with the clippers went without a hitch.
Linus' was a different story. It truly was a labor of love. The kind where there was lots of hair flying, plenty of screaming to spit hair strands out, and pure body convulsing and lunging to leave the arm's of his mama. Prof must have cut off at least two to three inches of that beautiful hair.
(Photo above; Piano Man takes a photo of Linus' hair. I like the Greek lettering in the backdrop. We'll always remember Linus' first real hair cut in Cyprus.)
Oh that soft fine hair. When Linus would sit still in my lap or in my arms, I would press my lips over his soft hair. Now that it is cut, in the words of Piano Man, its crunchiness is just not the same. Linus laughs and giggles now when I press my lips to his hair. The hair may not feel the same, but the smell and little boy are.
Prof loves the boys so much that he keeps on perfecting his cutting & styling at every home hair appointment.

Ben Carson copes with front-runner scrutiny
Published 3:38 pm, Saturday, November 7, 2015
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Ben Carson rose to top the Republican ranks of White House hopefuls as the wise outsider — a candidate without any experience in office, but one who offers a compelling personal narrative, speaks openly of his deep Christian faith and issues calm-but-tough indictments of the nation's leaders.
Now, just as he finishes a triumphant, monthlong book tour, Carson finds that persona threatened by a series of inquiries that cast doubt on the veracity of his biography.
While Carson may be an unorthodox candidate running an unorthodox campaign, scrutiny of his past is par for the course for would-be presidents. But in a race in which an angry electorate has scrambled the established order in the Republican Party, the retired neurosurgeon predicts what he calls a "witch hunt" will only help him with voters.
"There's got to be a scandal," a defiant Carson said Friday night of the hopes of those looking into his past. "They are getting desperate. ... It's ridiculous."
Carson had a whirlwind week in which one new question about his background was followed by another.
CNN reported it could not find friends or confidants to corroborate his story, told as part of his autobiography, "Gifted Hands," of unsuccessfully stabbing a close friend when he was a teenager. A story published by Politico examined his claim of having received a scholarship offer to attend the U.S. Military Academy. The Wall Street Journal said it could not confirm Carson anecdotes from his high school and college years.
Carson and his campaign forcefully reject any suggestion he has been less than completely truthful. During a combative 20 minutes, Carson said the media hadn't subjected President Obama to the same level of scrutiny he now faces and demanded the reporters present explain why. He said he would think about revealing the name of the person he has said he tried to stab, but only if reporters would sign an affidavit promising to "sing my praises" for doing so.
Carson's advisers say they are determined to keep their attention focused on the campaign as he shifts from his recent book tour — an ostensibly noncampaign exercise paid for mostly by his publisher — to more traditional voter outreach in Iowa and other early voting states.
Doug Watts, Carson's campaign spokesman, said Carson plans in the coming weeks to roll out comprehensive policy proposals on health care, education, fiscal policy, energy and foreign affairs.
"We came into the campaign consciously looking for a different way to run out of necessity, and because we had a candidate who did not want to run as a politician," Watts said.

fluciclovine f 18 (Intravenous route)
floo-SIK-loe-veen F 18
Commonly used brand name(s)
In the U.S.
- Axumin
Available Dosage Forms:
- Solution
Therapeutic Class: Diagnostic Agent, Radiopharmaceutical Imaging
Uses For fluciclovine f 18
Fluciclovine F 18 injection is used to help diagnose recurrent prostate cancer. It is used for a procedure called positron emission tomography (PET) scan to detect tumors.
Fluciclovine F 18 is a radiopharmaceutical. Radiopharmaceuticals are radioactive agents, which may be used to find and treat certain diseases or to study the function of the body's organs.
fluciclovine f 18 is to be given only by or under the direct supervision of a doctor with specialized training in nuclear medicine.
Before Using fluciclovine f 18
In deciding to use a diagnostic test, any risks of the test must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. Also, other things may affect test results. For this test, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to fluciclovine f 18 or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of fluciclovine F 18 injection in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of fluciclovine F 18 injection in the elderly.
Breast Feeding
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Interactions with Medicines
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.
Interactions with Food/Tobacco/Alcohol
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
Proper Use of fluciclovine f 18
A doctor or other trained health professional will give you fluciclovine f 18. fluciclovine f 18 is given through a needle placed in one of your veins just before you have a PET scan.
Avoid significant exercises for at least 1 day before the PET scan.
Do not eat or drink anything for at least 4 hours before you receive fluciclovine f 18 (other than small amounts of water for taking other medicines).
You will need to urinate right away and as often as possible for at least 1 hour after the PET scan.
Precautions While Using fluciclovine f 18

15 Chewbacca Facts for Peter Mayhew's Birthday
Many people may not know the name Peter Mayhew, but they sure know about the seven-foot tall Wookiee he's played onscreen for over three decades. In honor of Mayhew's 71st birthday today, here are 15 facts about Chewbacca.
1. The character of Chewbacca was inspired by George Lucas' big, hairy Alaskan malamute, Indiana. According to Lucas, the dog would always sit in the passenger seat of his car like a copilot, and people would confuse the dog for an actual person. The dog was also the inspiration behind the name for one of Lucas' other creations, Indiana Jones.
2. The name "Chewbacca" was derived from the Russian word "Sobaka" (собака), meaning "dog." The term "Wookiee" came from voice actor Terry McGovern. When he was doing voice-over tracks for Lucas' directorial debut, THX 1138, McGovern randomly improvised "I think I just ran over a Wookiee" during one of the sessions.
3. In Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Chewbacca is 200 years old.
4. Mayhew was chosen to play everyone's favorite Wookiee primarily because of his tremendous height: He's 7 feet 3 inches tall.

5. For the original trilogy (and the infamous holiday special), the Chewbacca costume was made with a combination of real yak and rabbit hair knitted into a base of mohair. A slightly altered original Chewie costume was used in 1999's The Phantom Menace for the Wookiee senator character Yarua, and a new costume used during Episode III included a specially made water-cooling system so that Mayhew could wear the suit for long periods of time and not be overheated.
6. To create the original costume for Chewbacca, Lucas hired legendary makeup supervisor Stuart Freeborn, recruited because of his work on the apes in the "Dawn of Man" sequence in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. (Freeborn had also previously worked with Kubrick on Dr. Strangelove to effectively disguise Peter Sellers in each of his three roles in that film.) Freeborn would go on to supervise the creation of Yoda in The Empire Strike Back and Jabba the Hutt and the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi.
Lucas originally wanted Freeborn's costume for Chewie to be a combination of a monkey, a dog, and a cat. According to Freeborn, the biggest problem during production with the costume was with Mayhew's eyes. The actor's body heat in the mask caused his face to detach from the costume's eyes and made them look separate from the mask.

7. The first sound effect that director George Lucas hired now-legendary sound designer Ben Burtt for on Star Wars was Chewbacca's voice (this was all the way back during the script stage). During the year of preliminary sound recording, Burtt principally used the vocalization of a black bear named Tarik from Happy Hollow Zoo in San Jose, California for Chewbacca. He would eventually synchronize those sounds with further walrus, lion, and badger vocalizations for the complete voice. The name of the language Chewbacca speaks came to be known in the Star Wars universe as "Shyriiwook."
8. Roger Ebert was not a fan of the big guy. In his 1997 review of the Special Edition of The Empire Strikes Back, Ebert basically called Chewbacca the worst character in the series. "This character was thrown into the first film as window dressing, was never thought through, and as a result has been saddled with one facial expression and one mournful yelp," the famed critic said. "Much more could have been done. How can you be a space pilot and not be able to communicate in any meaningful way? Does Han Solo really understand Chewie's monotonous noises? Do they have long chats sometimes? Never mind."
9. In the summary for Lucas' second draft (dated January 28, 1975, when the film was called "Adventures of the Starkiller, Episode I: The Star Wars"), Chewbacca is described as "an eight-foot tall, savage-looking creature resembling a huge gray bushbaby-monkey with fierce 'baboon'-like fangs. His large yellow eyes dominate a fur-covered face…[and] over his matted, furry body he wears two chrome bandoliers, a flak jacket painted in a bizarre camouflage pattern, brown cloth shorts, and little else."
10. Chewbacca's character design was based on concept art drawn by Ralph McQuarrie. Lucas had originally given McQuarrie a photo of a lemur for inspiration, and McQuarrie proceeded to draw the character as a female—but Chewbacca was soon changed to a male. McQuarrie based his furry design on an illustration by artist John Schoenherr that was commissioned for Game of Thrones scribe George R.R. Martin's short story "And Seven Times Never Kill a Man." Sharp-eyed Chewbacca fans will recognize that Schoenherr's drawing even includes what resembles the Wookiee's signature weapon, the Bowcaster.
11. Fans were angry for decades that Chewie didn't receive a medal of valor like Luke and Han did at the end of A New Hope, so MTV gave him a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1997 MTV Movie Awards. The medal was given to Mayhew—decked out in full costume—by Princess Leia herself, actress Carrie Fisher. His acceptance speech, made entirely in Wookiee grunts, lasted 16 seconds. When asked why Chewbacca didn't receive a medal at the end of the first film, Lucas explained, "Medals really don't mean much to Wookiees. They don't really put too much credence in them. They have different kinds of ceremonies."
12. According to the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special, Chewbacca had a wife named Mallatobuck, a son named Lumpawaroo (aka "Lumpy"), and a father named Attichitcuk (aka "Itchy"). In the special, Chewie and Han visit the Wookiee home planet of Kashyyyk to celebrate "Life Day," a celebration of the Wookiee home planet's diverse ecosystem. The special featured appearances and musical numbers by Jefferson Starship, Diahann Carroll, Art Carney, Harvey Korman, and Bea Arthur, and marked the first appearance of Boba Fett. Lucas hated the special so much that he limited its availability following its original airdate on November 17, 1978.
13. Mayhew's path to playing Chewbacca began with a string of lucky breaks and his big feet. A local London reporter was doing a story on people with big feet and happened to profile Mayhew. A movie producer saw the article and cast him—in an uncredited role—as Minoton the minotaur in the film Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger. One of the makeup men on Sinbad was also working on the Wookiee costume with Stuart Freeborn for Star Wars and suggested to the producers that they screen-test Mayhew. The rest is Wookiee history.

14. During the shooting of Star Wars, Mayhew kept working his day job as a deputy head porter in a London hospital. Though he was let go because of his sudden varying shooting schedule at Elstree Studios, he was eventually hired back after production wrapped.
15. David Prowse, the 6'5" actor who ended up portraying Darth Vader—in costume only—originally turned down the role of Chewbacca. When given the choice between portraying the two characters, Prowse said, "I turned down the role of Chewbacca at once. I know that people remember villains longer than heroes. At the time I didn't know I'd be wearing a mask, and throughout production I thought Vader's voice would be mine."

CSI in the Real World
Associate Professor Beth Bechky, an expert in organizational behavior, recently spent 18 months studying the impact of the intersection of science and law at a forensic laboratory. She presented her preliminary findings to a diverse group of scholars at a workshop on "Forensic Performances: Tracing Crime, Constructing Evidence" at UC Davis in October.
In discussing "DNA Envy, Objectivity and Forensic Science Work," Bechky said that the convergence of science and law created workplace tensions that ultimately led to organizational change. She noted that the institution of law, with its courtrooms, lawyers and judges, influenced forensic presentations to appear more "scientific," and explained how the presentation of DNA evidence changed to become more accessible and believable in the courtroom.
"When DNA testing first came on the scene as a viable source of material evidence in cases, it went through a vetting process in the courts that changed how DNA evidence would be presented," explained Bechky. "These alterations had more to do with what is considered legally relevant than with the objective 'truth' of the scientific data."
Over time, said Bechky, the practice of presenting DNA evidence in the courts gave the impression that the science was irrefutable, making DNA the standard to which other forensic subfields, such as narcotics and firearms, are held accountable.

Tech Brands Dominate
Technology brands made a strong showing on MillwardBrown's annual BrandZ Top 100. The list ranks the most valuable brands in the world by factoring in current and future earnings along with consumer research.
The 100 companies on this year's list combined for a 12 percent gain in their brand values to $2.9 trillion. Technology companies accounted for almost one-third -- $827 billion -- of that total.
Brand value among tech companies jumped 16 percent, according to this year's study results, marking a bounce-back from last year's flat performance.
Here's a look at the top 18 technology brands and how they fared on this year's list. The ranking breaks out telecommunications and retail brands as separate categories from technology. That's why No. 8 AT&T, No. 10 Amazon, No. 11 Verizon and No. 61 eBay are absent here.

While Daytona Beach's famous annual Bike Week took place earlier this month, the real biker party begins next week in kick ass Leesburg, Florida. The 2011 Leesburg Bikefest is set to rock your f*cking face off, as the Central Florida town will welcome its biker faithful from April 7-10, and the event organizers have even added an extra day this year for people to rev their engines and show off their "My bitch fell off" shirts. And forget Lollapalooza and Bonaroo this year, friends, because Leesburg Bikefest welcomes the music of Slaughter and Jackyl, as well as the ACDC tribute band Highway to Hell.
Alas, all is not well in Leesburg. As thousands of bikers will flock from minutes away for this celebration, the town's leaders are putting a kibosh on one of Bikefest's most time-honored traditions – pudding and Jello wrestling. Specifically, the city is banning all fighting competitions, which once again leaves my toddler fight club without a venue, but they made it a point to put the spotlight on women wrasslin' in snack foods.
"We have had some odd events take place in the past. It's simply not the kind of event we want to have at the Leesburg Bikefest," Mayor David Knowles said.
"We've had a number of organizations come to Leesburg and look at Leesburg and say, 'This is not really our kind of party place.' And they go elsewhere," Knowles explained.
"It may be an adult event, but it's not an x-rated adult event," Knowles said. (Via WFTV)
Look, I don't know much about biker gangs outside of what I've learned from Sons of Anarchy and Pee Wee's Big Adventure, but if a motorcycle organization doesn't want to visit your Bikefest because of something as harmless as two redneck girls smearing tapioca all over each other while guys named Jethro and Confederate Jim whistle through their teeth, then you don't want them there anyway. Tell them to go to Bikefest in Montreal because they're not Americans.
Now before you watch this promotional video for Leesburg Bikefest, I want you to crank up your speakers – especially if you're at work – and rip the sleeves off your shirt, because you're about to have your eyes opened, brother.

Which White Republican Dude Will Destroy Obama in 2012?
Mark Sanford was totally going to be the next president, until he fell in love with Maria. Now, not so much. But Republican strategists have so many other Great White Hopes! What disasters will greet them?
Sad Republican strategist Mark McKinnon has been handicapping the Republican field over at The Daily Beast. So far, he's identified both Senator John Ensign and South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford as Ones to Watch just days before they admitted extramarital affairs. And then he called on both of them to resign. It is hard, strategizing for this bunch of losers! So let's look at the rest of his list and wonder what will be!
Haley Barbour: Barbour is McKinnon's new favorite, because he is the opposite of Barack Obama. He is a fat old white Southerner who used to be a lobbyist. So, as you can imagine, he will definitely help with that whole "GOP is only the party of old white Southerners now" thing. But McKinnon is pretty sure that the next election will actually be held on opposite day, which will definitely improve Haley's chances.
But there is a problem: he is a crooked lobbyist with crooked lobbyist children!
Tim Pawlenty: Tim is the Governor of Minnesota. He is a charming cipher. He is completely inoffensive. He would maybe convince Republicans that they could put some more upper midwestern states back in play.
But there is a problem: even being a charming cipher was not enough to net Pawlenty a majority of votes cast in either of the elections he won. And now he is retiring, rather than face possible defeat. Meanwhile, the state has gone completely broke. And he made a bridge collapse. Also he's on the road toward revealing some embarrassing personal secret: claiming he has nothing to hide and almost challenging people to dig something up.
Newt Gingrich: People have heard of him, but they have also forgotten why they used to hate him, mostly. He likes to pretend to be full of exciting new ideas for remaking the party. He is an elder statesman. He, uh, hasn't cheated on his wife lately.
But there is a problem: he's Newt fucking Gingrich.
Mike Huckabee: He's a charming, roly-poly former Arkansas governor with his own talk show on Fox. He used to be fat, then he got skinny, and now he is kinda fat again. He is friends with Chuck Norris. A lot of liberals find him surprisingly tolerable, and he is more than willing to charm them without losing his Conservative Christian Cred. He plays the bass.
But there is a problem: he says a lot of dumb shit and is hard to take seriously, especially now that he's doing his "Conservative White Male Oprah" thing at Fox.
Sarah Palin: She is really famous, and really good at getting on TV, and also she is a lady. She has those kids, and that husband, and a lot of people seem to think she is a wonderful lady. Also she talks funny, which appeals to millions of Americans who also talk funny.
But there is a problem: she is really fucking dumb and no amount of media training can ever make her appear confident and prepared, which is weird, considering her local news background.
Mitt Romney: He has money, and nice hair.
But there is a problem: he is a Mormon!
But that is not actually the best argument for Mitt. The best argument for Mitt is that, barring news that he secretly slept with Joe the Plumber, he basically already has this locked up.
This is how Republican primaries work: if there is a Republican President or Vice President who would like the job, he gets the nomination. If not, the guy who came in second in the last contested primary gets the nomination. (Unless it's Pat Buchanan.) This is the way they have done things since World War II. It means the candidate will be Mitt Romney (or maybe—maybe!—Mike Huckabee). All this John Ensign and Mark Sanford talk was bullshit even before they all took themselves out of the running by sleeping around.
But, you know, good luck to Haley Barbour.

Today the 9th of January 2017, the Heads of states in ECOWAS are to have a mediation session in Nigeria and will be chaired by President Buhari to discuss the implications of President Jammeh's reluctance to hand over power to President-elect Adama Barrow. Jammeh has held the office of the president since his 1994 military coup, after the recent election he took everyone by surprise by conceding defeat to the winner, which is outlined in article 9 of the ECOWAS Protocol in Democracy and Good Governance. This however, is no longer the case as Jammeh changed his mind over handing of power, therefore this is a challenge of democracy and an intervention is needed. Implications of this include; divide in the country, which has already started with the army chief pledging alliance to Jammeh, which evidently can result to protests and violence just like the Côte d'Ivoire crisis of 2012. The mediation session is expected to have outcomes that will resolve this issue and prevent it from escalating to a violent one or even invite other foreign countries from intervening.

Our most recent adventure was to the tiny one-acre island called Isla de Ratones or Mouse Island because at one point in time it was overrun by rodents. Since then it has been cleared of most pests and is just a nice day trip. It has an interesting history including a connection with MTV in the 80′s! As a beautiful little deserted island I think I like its original name: Piñas, which means pineapples, but if rodents make people leery of visiting, all the better for us to have this little island to ourselves!
The day started around 10am in Joyuda where we chartered a boat for the short 4-5 minute ride out to the island. It would have been fairly easy to paddleboard or kayak to the island if one had at least an intermediate skill level. Still, it was fun to pile up our group of about 30 people into two boatloads and head on over!
I love these trips to these tiny islands off the coast of Puerto Rico. This one was a little easier because we didn't have to drive to the east coast. It was right down the road past Mayaguez! A simple day trip. It was so funny how much stuff people bring to spend 5 hours at a beach. So we had plenty to eat and drink and there was even a bathroom on the island! We enjoyed grilling up food, hanging out in the water, jumping off the pier and even painting ourselves like Tainos with a special purple clay! Here are a few fun pictures and a video from the day. Some of these photos are from Lowell, Amanda and Daisy.
We had a spa day with mud masks and kelp hair treatments haha!
We were a little concerned about a rainout but it was a nice sunny day!
Andrea and I are painted like Tainas
Cheers to Daisy for organizing this trip!

Music of the Day
Published by Victus in the blog Victus's blog. Views: 59
Feeling like I want to start doing some talk about music in these blogs, as music is a large part of who I am. So today, I bring you the musings of one Jason Mraz.
Jason Mraz - Curbside Prophet [Video] - YouTube
This song, Curbside Prophet, is really catchy and just wonderful. If you've never listened to Jason Mraz before, be advised you should probably check out some more of his music (Particularly "Lucky" and "Geek in the Pink")
Now that I've gotten the MotD out of the way, a little rant about today (funny yet a little depressing). My best friend and roommate is 180% straight. However, he knows I want him in more ways than one. Occasionally, he likes to tease me with it.
I was cleaning one of the rooms today, and he walks in and proclaims, "Do you wanna suck a dick?" Of course, I chirp in with, "Hell yes I do~!"
So he pulls out a bag of candy penises he found in one of the other rooms (People having a wedding nearby left it in there when they checked out).
Needless to say, I laughed my ass off, even if I was disappointed that I didn't get to taste my friend. One day, hopefully he'll get drunk enough to decide he wants a bj from me. I hope.
I mean, I won't offer while he's drunk, I'm not that kind of guy. But if he vocalizes that he wants it, I ain't going to turn that down. XD
