From Fat to Fit—New LOWAT™ for Healthy Weight Management
Still trying to shed that holiday weight? Looking for help maintaining your ideal weight throughout the year? Swanson® is proud to be the first major retailer to introduce LOWAT,™ the latest advancement in weight management from InterHealth Nutraceuticals, the innovative experts behind successful, scientifically validated products like Super CitriMax® and ChromeMate®. Learn more in this exclusive interview with lead developer Dr. Debasis Bagchi.
SWANSON: Dr. Bagchi, LOWAT™ contains two unique herbal extracts most people have probably never heard of before. How did you discover this unique combination?
Dr. Bagchi: We went through an intensive two-year screening to try to find the most effective plant extracts for adipogenesis inhibitory activity. Out of the 480 herbs subjected to our anti-adipogenesis assay, Piper betle and Dolichos biflorus showed potent efficacy.
Next, to further improve the efficacy and to achieve a novel herbal formulation with synergistic activity, the individual extracts were combined at different ratios and were tested for inhibition of adipogenesis. We found that the distinctive combination of betle leaf extract and dolichos extract, LOWAT,™ exhibited synergistic activity toward inhibiting adipogenesis (the generation and accumulation of fat in the adipocytes, or fat cells). This activity was significantly better than the individual extracts alone.
SWANSON: Can you tell us a little about each ingredient?
Dr. Bagchi: Piper betle is an Ayurvedic shrub with thousands of years of historical use for blood sugar support, respiratory health, digestive health and more. It is indigenous throughout India and the Malay region. Betle leaf has been shown to support healthy blood sugar levels.
Dolichos biflorus is popularly known as horse gram. It is used as a home remedy for urinary tract health, among other things. Dolichos biflorus has been shown to protect against oxidative stress and benefit lipid levels, and it may have some blood sugar supporting properties.
SWANSON: How do these herbs work together to help promote weight loss and maintain healthy weight?
Dr. Bagchi: LOWAT™ targets body fat—the formation, accumulation and breakdown. Not only does preliminary research demonstrate that LOWAT™ inhibits fat accumulation and potentiates the breakdown of stored fat, clinical research demonstrates that LOWAT™ increases the fat-burning hormone adiponectin. Levels of adiponectin are inversely correlated with body fat percentage in adults.
SWANSON: Can you tell us more about some of the research you've conducted with LOWAT™?
Dr. Bagchi: In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, eight-week study, 50 overweight human subjects took 900 mg a day (300 mg 3x/day) of LOWAT™ or a placebo. All subjects followed a 2,000-calorie diet and walked for 30 minutes five days a week. While weight loss at 2 weeks was already evident, LOWAT™ significantly decreased body weight by 9.4 lbs—2.4 times better than placebo at 8 weeks. The fat-burning hormone adiponectin increased by 15% and the hunger-inducing hormone ghrelin decreased by 17%. Additionally, we saw beneficial effects in serum glucose and triglycerides compared to placebo.

I cannot sing the glory of the New York Public Library's research archives high enough. On a previous excursion, I took out 5 catalogs from the typesetting era, giant books detailing all typefaces available for purchase along with decorative flourishes and a variety of creepy and disturbing images. Page after page of glorious fonts! Behold!

Here's a garment so vintage I had to look up what it was before posting; a pelise was a mantle worn over an outfit for additional warmth and decor. Though usually floor-length, this appears to be a shorter pelise, which came into fashion for a bit in certain parts of Europe. Its modern descendants include the overcoat and the dressing gown. Also whatever you call that thing you wear at night over your nightgown; I can't recall the name at the moment.
Rather oddly it suggests this pattern would be great for a baby on the left side, but a quick assessment of the measurements indicate it's a 32″ bust- a little on the small side for the fully-dressed modern woman, but certainly too big for most toddlers. If you'd like to create this in a larger size it would be easiest to up the gauge from the wee 7.5 sts per inch to something more reasonable like 6.5.

I dug these patterns with considerable difficulty from the belly of the New York Public Library. I'm quite sure they sat untouched for years on their shelves, and would have quietly crumbled to fragments and dust with no one the wiser had I not intervened. As it was, in handling and photocopying them I'm pretty sure I fast-forwarded that destruction by 10 years.
Perhaps someone who has greater familiarity with general library organization can clue me in to why they bind certain books together; each volume I sought was trapped amidst seemingly random texts. One was between a German book on what appeared to be house care and a Swedish knot-tying pamphlet, another was sandwiched with several Good Housekeeping excerpts from the 60′s and practically disintegrated hand-typed minutes from some meeting of the Italian Electrician's Guild.
On a slightly random tangent- what lies beneath the New York Public Library? If their ridiculously hi-tech screening room, with its clear glass floors and design straight out of 'Diabolik', is any indication, at least 5 floors of medieval stonemasonry housing a bulk of books (the majority of their collection is stored 'off-site'-ie in a warehouse in Newark). Some delightful Goldbergian mechanism conveys them from their shelves to the survace via a series of conveyer belts and pulleys, to arrive in the hands of the bored teenagers populating the main desk. Or perhaps a race of Morlock-creatures drags them from their proper place and puts them on the conveyor belts, to be borne up to worlds they will never see.

Obama's Food and Drug Administration plans this year to impose legal limits on the amount of salt allowed in food products. Nanny Barack might want to check again the list of the top-10,000 problems facing the world.
Obama's Salt, Too
By Asher Embry
Obama's nanny FDA
Is set to take our salt away.
Popcorn, pretzels, Ranch Doritos,
Triscuits, Pringles, Crunchy Cheetos;
Any snack from Grandma Utz;
Almonds, pecans, cashew nuts,
Ruffles, Saltines, aged Slim Jims,
Pickles, Margarita rims.
Barack will wage an all out war
On all these food that we adore.
When his paternalism's won -
Arugula for everyone.
The Mullahs nearly have the Bomb.
About that O's relaxed and calm.
The threat Barack instead attacks?
Our most beloved salty snacks.
Our salt is gone, but O still gets
The fix he sneaks from cigarettes.

Bikini Babes Finally Break World Record for Largest Shower
by Balthazar_Francis
August 24, 2011 at 4:00PM
Views: 4,642
The record for the most people showering together has been smashed and it's all thanks to a bunch of busty, bikini-clad babes.
It's a record that has gone begging to be broken. Now, thanks to 152 people, the record for the world's largest shower has been set. Hooray! This impressive example of human achievement was spearheaded by men's deodorant company Lynx/Axe. If this spot proves anything, its women in sexy black bikinis can achieve anything they set their minds to-- especially if they do it in slow-motion.
The record was broken August 13, 2011 on the sullen sands of Bournemouth Beach. Yes, the British call this a beach. Wouldn't this commercial have been the perfect excuse for some advertising execs to jump on a plane, to say Brazil, and round up a gaggle of Brazilian babes? Now that would make one hot shower.

A history of squelching historians
You might think the life of a historian is boring, but certainly safe. Apart from a paper cut, how much danger can a historian ever face from his work?
That's not the case with China. Digging into the past can be perilous, even if all it means is browsing through old newspapers and books.
One US-based scholar, Song Yongyi, was arrested in late 1999 while visiting China to gather Cultural Revolution material for the Dickinson University library in Pennsylvania. He was charged with stealing state secrets and only released the following year after an international outcry. The 'state secrets' were mostly purchases from mainland bookstores.
Hong Kong-based journalist Ching Cheong was arrested in 2005 for selling state secrets to Taiwan. The charges looked groundless as Ching was only collecting open information.
Now we have the unhappy experience of David Tsui, a Hongkonger who was jailed in 2002 for 13 years, and got out only last month, his sentence reduced for 'good behaviour'. His crime: photocopying material about the 1950-53 Korean war and sending it abroad, and using unauthorised materials for his 1999 doctorate in political science at Oxford University. The People's Liberation Army declared the material 'top secret' - but only after a Shenzhen court sentenced Tsui to jail.
It was an Alice In Wonderland reason to spend a decade behind bars, being sentenced for a crime that is defined as a crime after you are sentenced. And it had to have a chilling effect on other scholars.
Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it, the saying goes. And in countries where you aren't allowed to learn from history? What happens to them?

Larry's Californian obituary:
Graveside services will be held at South Kern Cemetery District/Arvin Cemetery on Tuesday, July 2 2002 at 10:30 a.m. for Larry Carlton Richardson, 47, of Bakersfield, CA, who passed away June 26, 2002.
Larry was born in Santa Ana, CA. Larry resided in Orange County until the age of 10 when the Richardson family moved to the Wheeler Ridge area where they farmed. Upon graduating from Arvin High School in 1973 Larry went to work full-time for his father at the family's farm and packing shed. During his 29 plus years in the agricultural field Larry had been a packing house manager and was involved in Farmer's Markets in the greater Bakersfield area. Larry had a great love for his job and enjoyed working with his brothers and son. He looked forward to going to work and took great pride in everything he did.
Larry was a loving person who made friends everywhere he went. Larry always had a smile on his face, a kind word to say and a story to tell. Larry loved life and everyone in his life. Larry enjoyed spending time at home, barbecuing for his family, feeding the birds in the backyard and spending time with his cats. Larry took joy in watching auto racing. He could often be found working on racecars and cheering on his son, Brian and nephew Eric, at Mesa Marin Raceway.

Seeking expert testimony is a sign of strength. A personal relationship with a caring professional is proven clinically effective.
Dear friend,
I believe that I can help.
I understand how desperate you are, and right in front of your eyes, in a sense, your son has become a "different person".
He has become a young, gay, underage man, not quite an adult but more than a mere child.
His rebellion and hatred seems to be the biggest issue. I can't even address his adult and minor behavior and the illegal activity...
Do you expect that he will change his sexual preferences?
if he were in some sort of detention or correctional facility, I believe hard work would be the only way to get him back on track to being a contributing member of society. His sexual preference does not matter at this point. His promiscuous lifestyle at his age with anyone is what is the most hurtful.
His behaviour towards you is his reaction to the shame at being discovered. His foolishness is in great part due to his youth.
I went to the police to see if I could protect him- or keep him from running away and they said they cannot do anything about threats. They said if he wants this behavior and the other boys and men stick with they story that they are not sexual, it is hard to prosecute. They said he would be in big trouble to for soliciting minors. I understand the problem and agree with the shame and his youth, now I need to figure out how to be a parent and have boundries without him running away.
If he is put into a facility he will be more sodomized and sexualized then if he was not in one.
i do not want him to get in legal trouble
Of course not. You are his mother and have always loved him
the only thing of value I have is his college fund
of vlue to him
i believe years later he will thank me for making him earn it
You must find a family therapist who will work with the two of you. I do not think that mere leverage will influence his 16 year old mind.
to get a job and buy the college fund from me
he and his father chose not to seek counseling
maybe I can pay him to go to counseling?
He would be grateful if he has that reasoning capacity. At 16, and with a huge sexual drive, his thinking is not clear.
Try to leave his father out of it. His father does not seem to have much sense.
i agree
of course any parent wants their child to do the right thing because they know what the rightthing is and to please their parents... we are way beyond that- I am having to parent with rules and accountability
You must greatly soften you approach to your son. He could be in very big trouble if he is convicted of pedophilia, and he is at risk of getting terrible sexually transmitted diseases.
You will not change his homosexuality, but you may change his very reckless behaviour.
It is quite possible that he is suffering from a disorder that causes this reckless behaviour and apparent temper. It could be bipolar disorder of Borderline Personality Disorder.
Do you think his father ever abused him?
I have been trying the love approach and to be honest, all I receive is hate. I have put on the best acting job of my life acting as if his behavior is understandable but illegal. He said if I implement any rules he will run away.
Can he legally run away?
i think he may have a disorder. He tells me he is a psychopath
What is the age limit?
On what grounds does he say he is a psychopath?
you are not thefirst person to ask me of his father abused him. He said in a letter to me that he was aboused by his cousin.
His lover is and he researched it and said he was too
Then that is what could have set him off and caused this behaviour.
yes... I agree but where do i go from here?
What lover are you talking about please?
my son has several lovers- most recently it is a guy he went to visit in Alaska
OK. Thanks for clearing that up.
I know of 3 men he has been with but he wont tell me about the others
What are the legal limits of your authority as a parent? Can you put him in a facility for treatment for running away?
yes, but the police, like you say that I dont want to pursue accountability for his behavior legaly because it will follow my son forever.
but yes, if he runs away, i can press charges
The consequences of his running away, such as turning into a male prostitute, or getting HIV/AIDS can also follow him forever.
Running away charges on his record when he is a child will not ruin his life. What will follow him will be a little tiny footnote of something that happened when he was a child.
He exaggerated an altercation with his dad last year when his dad took away his computer during a visit (and I believed my son that his dad punched him) and he turned his dad into DCF. Now I know it was a lie and he said he will do the same to me if I take away his freedom
I guess I am afraid of him succeeding at running away. I tried to stop him from going to Alaska and the police and airline said he bought his own ticket and could go.
Go to DCF and tell them of this threat, and that he is using it to prevent you from disciplining him.
then I asked his dad to support me in preventing him to go to alaska and his dad said their is nothing we can do
ok- that is a good idea
What I would like to know, and you have not yet told me, is do you have the right to have hims institutionalized now as an incorrigible child?
I really like that because then they will see that my son is lying to manipulate us
He may be a sociopath, meaning he has a personality disorder, such as narcissistic personality disorder, that allows him to lie easily and to have no feelings for other people.
i do not know. I guess I will have to research that. I told his father that the college fund money (pretty much all the money I have) should go to get help for him, like in a medical facility but again- his dad thinks counseling and medical help is a waste of money.
I believe his main problem is the abuse he suffered.
yes! he says that to me a lot- that he is a sociopath
His father offers no solution and may be part of the problem because he enables him.
What does he mean? This sounds like scary words to get you off his back.
so seeking medical help for his sociopathic behavior may be kurt best bet
my son uses the words sychopath and sociopath alot. This man he loves says that he is and so my son says he himself is too.
It is a scary word. What does it mean? What is is sociopathic or psychopathic behaviour? If he has none then he is just trying to frighten you.
he says that he has no feelings for others.
Then he is a sociopath and he will never change
his friend abuses animals too but luckily my son doesnt do that
that i know of
He friend is the worst kind of psychopath and from has antisocial personality disorder, the one that many violent criminals and thieves have.
it is just so weird... my son used to donate his christmas toys to homeless people... now this? I feel like I have been robbed
That is why I am afraid to have him living with me
when he laughs at me it is like I am looking at pure evil
Your son may just be saying this. Do you believe he has no feelings for the pain of others?
before, he used to say I dont ever wact to hurt you mom, now he says he doesnt care about me and hopes i die a painful death
he has really "bonded" with this guy in alaska. He said he has met his soulmate
someone he can relate to
he says he will stick his penis in whatever he can- young old, willing, unwilling, male female, animal... thosethings have to be to get a reaction
he cant mean that
Perhaps the best thing for him is to let him go to Alaska with your blessings (but not any funds) and be with his soul mate.
at 16?
He can't mean it. He wants you to accept him for what he is.
At 16 he is a functional adult and historically and biologically this is the norm even if it is not the law.
when i found out, i took him to his favorite place and held his hand and said his behavior was dangerous- i said it in love...
I have to let go...
This may be the best way for him to learn responsibility and to understand what an absolutely wonderful mother you are. Unfortunately you cannot make those words sink in, but if he has a heart, he loves you.
One thing about sociopaths that is true.
They may love nobody else, but they more often than not always love their mothers.
i never thought of that... I guess you are right...
i will let him go
I guess I needed someone to tell me it was okay to let him go both emotionally and physically
He will not forget you and will be forever grateful that you did, and may even begin to hear your wisdom if times get hard.
thank you... I needed to hear that
You are a wonderfully wise person and I am glad that I could give you that support. He will love you for your blessings to him.
again thank you for helping me...
It seems to be the best way forward.
I feel so blessed to have been able to help. This is a great start to my day.
to hear you say that is the best words i could hear right now... you have given me a gift that exceeds any value
I now have a huge smile on my face. Thank you for saying that.

VAT inspections
One of life's certainties is that if you are a VAT registered business, sooner or later you will receive a check of your VAT affairs by an HMRC officer, either at your business location or increasingly remotely. VAT inspections, or 'checks', as HMRC prefers to call them, are an integral part of the system. Their main purpose is to ensure that your returns are an accurate reflection of your business activities and VAT liability.
We can help you avoid unnecessary cost and inconvenience by: |
However, their frequency is by no means predictable. You may find yourself singled out at any time if:
- You have a history of poor compliance
- There has been a change in the pattern of your VAT returns
- Your business is seen as high risk (e.g. a cash business, a partly exempt business)
The higher the perceived risk, the more likely it is that you will receive a VAT visit in person, rather than a questionnaire and follow-up telephone call.
Don't be caught out
The cost of being caught unawares by a VAT visit can be considerable. You could find yourself facing:
- Hours of valuable time wasted
- Extra costs incurred in sorting out all the paperwork
- Potential penalties and interest charges
- The possibility of a follow-up enquiry by HMRC
A VAT visit usually has two parts:
- It begins with an interview, during which the officer will seek a broad understanding of your accounting system and general commercial activities. He or she will be looking for possible areas of weakness in your accounting records.
- During the second part, the officer will examine your records to ensure that you have completed your returns correctly. Constraints of time will mean that he or she will probably focus on sensitive areas identified during the original interview. An assurance is visit is not an audit, but rather a series of appropriate checks so that the officer can form a view as to the credibility of returns filed and corresponding payment made or refunds received.
If you are not prepared, or if you are not sure of your facts, a visit can be a daunting experience. We can make your life easier by attending the meetings and assisting with answering the questions. This could save you considerable time, expense, and inconvenience. As with most other things, a professional helping hand in this area can add real value to your business.
Do contact us if you would like further help or advice on this subject.

Written by Gregg Brekke
Jane Fisler Hoffman |
I was surprised and honored to be asked to write an occasional opinion piece for UCNews. The surprise is because I know what the editor may not: some who read this will think of me as one of "them" - an alien species in the church, a "judicatory" staffer, someone "higher up" in a church system and thus crazed with delight in power "over" the local church.
So OK, let's get this part over with. For the last 17 years I have indeed served on Conference staffs. Over those years I have heard comments that indicate the notion that we who serve in Conference ministry positions are somehow distanced from the local church, that we don't really know or understand or love the local church, and that we see ourselves as above the beloved local church.
So I want to testify here and now: for at least this person called to Conference Ministry, nothing could be further from the truth. (Now do me a favor and don't turn aside just yet!)
I would contend that only someone who passionately loves the local church, its pastors and its mission and ministries, would drive the trafficked highway hours to get to a conflicted local church, sit in anguish through hours of feuding diatribes too late moved from the parking lot to the meeting room, and seek beyond all reason to offer a scriptural word, a prayer and please God some wise counsel to a probably too late for reconciliation crisis. And that's just one sketch of much of our ministry on behalf of God's churches.
Though I cannot speak for all of my colleagues, I know that most of us who find ourselves called to such ministry believe that only those absurdly crazy enough to accept such a call and who believe heart and soul in the power of God through UCC local churches would even consider doing this work. And from the first time of many that our effort or counsel is ignored, we know all too well that we do not sit "above" anyone!
But more to the point, we who do this wider church ministry in the UCC are deeply committed to the power of God and governance vested in local churches and know ourselves to work "for" those churches, gathered as Conferences, not the other way around.
So as you read this and perhaps others of what this Conference staffer writes, please know that my faith was birthed and nurtured in beloved local communities of faith; my call was formed and named as I served as a very young church council president in a congregation that kept teaching and calling forth a shy young leader.
My life and faith have continued to be informed and shaped by local churches of all sizes and sorts. And even after these years of ministry too often on the underbelly of the church, dealing sorrowfully with clergy misconduct and more, I love my work and I love God's church. I have learned to watch for and by God's grace find the beautiful kernel of true church in the saddest of local church situations. I have met thousands of amazing, loving, mission serving people in our churches and my great delight comes in the weekly opportunities I have to worship with faith communities across the diverse spectrum of the United Church of Christ.
Though this ministry means being uprooted from one local church community of support that local church pastors are blessed with, it is a privilege beyond belief to worship as I have over the years:
- Next to a Midwest cornfield with a dozen folks in a church building still without running water but singing gustily accompanied by a CD of Tennessee Ernie Ford or Mormon tabernacle choir;
- Beside a Spanish translator for a fiery biblical sermon and then joining joyous, swaying praise with guitar and keyboard;
- In one of our largest UCC churches with several hundred brilliantly African-clad folk - but even among thousands, intimately embraced by the warmth of an extravagantly welcoming community;
- With a signer for the deaf bringing added art to my meager sermonic words and a congregation following scripture in the "Green Bible"
- At a daring Korean–Caucasian congregation, translating liturgy into Korean on the screen, preparing to celebrate a Korean style harvest festival;
- Shivering in the winter cold of an inner city vast sanctuary with the boiler out but praise still reverberating, though clapping muted by gloves;
- Moved by the unique harmonies and smooth vowelled verses of Samoan hymns, feeling a sense of angelic choirs;
- Viewing mountains over an ocean panorama through a sanctuary window beside a dazzling spread of tropical plants that draw the eye from backlit chancel tiffany art glass, while listening to a vibrant young preacher daring a prophetic word.
It is precisely because of what God has done and is doing through our United Church of Christ local churches like these and many more that my own small life has been poured into this frankly often painful but richly blessed ministry as one of a now diminishing number of UCC Conference staff.
If I am one of "them," it is my prayer that you know this "them" as one who loves the local church enough to live as a sojourner among many local churches, giving my modest gifts and time and love to strengthen the mission and ministry we can all do for God better together than apart.
The Rev. Jane Fisler Hoffman is the Southern California-Nevada Interim Conference Minister.

For Love or Money
TIM DELANEYPresident and CEONational Council of NonprofitsWashington, D.C.
As a nonprofit you have an opportunity to get foundation dollars. Foundations are required to spend at least 5% of their assets every year on either internal operations or contributions to nonprofits. But with asset values down so much, it's becoming harder to get funding.
Sometimes there's no direct link between the issue and a sustainable business model. Take human rights in China, for example. I don't see a way to take that on through a for-profit model. Whereas I can see setting up a nonprofit where you get a foundation and some individuals to invest their dollars knowing they will not get a [monetary] return on it.
As a nonprofit you have the ability to wear the white hat. I started a nonprofit center on leadership ethics and public service. If it had been a for-profit consulting firm or law firm, there may have been pressure to give the client the answer they want instead of the right answer.
WILLIAM FULBRIGHT FOOTEFounder and CEORoot Capital, a nonprofit investment fundCambridge, Mass.
If you can use a for-profit model, you should. There's going to be a Darwinian flush on the nonprofit side as the financial meltdown causes funding to be reduced. So if you don't have to be out with your hat in hand, you are in a better position.
Business has the ability to scale. If you can bring the engine of business and real capital to bear, you can really move the needle. You can unlock billions and even trillions of dollars to address problems that are so huge. There just isn't that kind of money in the philanthropic world.
You have to be a starry-eyed romantic to think you won't have the dilemma of profit vs. the public good [if you use the for-profit model]. But the answer is to build awareness so that you have real consumer demand and shareholder pressure for ethical sourcing and environmentally responsible production.
—As told to Amy Barrett

Can Synthroid affect my fertility? Can I still get pregnant?
Presumably, you are taking synthroid because you have hypothyroidism. Taking this medication keeps your thyroid levels normal and should only have positive effects on fertility.

- InuYasha OST Fate of Awakening Love
- Anime:
Background information:
This video is a side-project. I havent made anything lately and my current main project goes VERY slowly, so i thought i have to make something simple.
I had this song, a song from the Inuyasha OST - Fate of Awakening Love, which i always loved, and wanted to make something with it. After watching Chrono Crusade, one of my favourite animes, i know that this would be a good match up. It somehow expresses the shock i felt after watching the ending of Chrono Crusade, very sad, but still has a little happy feeling to it as well - maybe a flashback about the good old days or something like that.
So, i decided to make this AMV, a sentimental/drama video from just the last episode of the series and some additional scenes from several other episodes (the 3rd, 9th and 18th episodes i think). The main aspect of this video is to express the pain and sadness Rosette felt in her last minutes, and somehow to make us remember that she had good memories as well.
The video contains spoilers from the last episode, dont watch it if you dont want to know the ending of the series!
About the video:
The plot of this video is very simple. We find Rosette and Chrono at their hideout place, where they spend their last days just with the two of them, hiding from the rest of the world, resting at a quiet place.
The first seconds and the syncing to the piano beats tries to pick up the link between the song and the video. There are two flashbacks after this scene. The first one is the near past, the several days that they could spend together after the final battle. The second one is about the happy hours she had during her search for his brother. This is where the lyric-sync takes over, of course this may sound ridiculous, because there is no so called lyrics in this song, but this beautiful humming - in my opinion - can mean and express more than 100 words.
The finaly scenes after the flashbacks want to express the sadness of Rosettes fate, and the pain she felt in her last seconds.
I may not have accomplished this task how i really wanted to, and this video didnt turn out as well as i wanted to, but i think at least for the song, you should watch this, if you havent heard this wonderful melody already in Inuyasha.
On the credits: sorry, i love glow, i cant help it :D
Audio and video: compressed with MeGui into mp4 format with x.264 (this is the local version)
If there is a direct link, that should be an xvid version with MP3 audio.
If you experience any problems with the video quality of the mp4 version (the video isnt clean, looks pixelated), you should try out the xvid version (36 mbs), there should be no problems with it.

Mitch Daniels' Social 'Truce' Faces Test Over Planned Parenthood Vote
It's a tough line to walk for Daniels, who, as a potential candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, needs to prove his conservative chops. He's faced heated criticism on the right for calling for a "truce" on social issues and suggesting lawmakers focus on fiscal matters instead.
Daniels, who is firmly anti-abortion, has a week to act on the bill.
Planned Parenthood Of Indiana has said the bill could cost the state $4 million in Medicaid federal family funds. The bill would run afoul of federal law, which prohibits states from picking which providers may offer family planning services to Medicaid patients. According to Planned Parenthood, by violating that law, Indiana may risk losing all federal funds for family planning providers.
The bill would also ban abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
In a statement on its website, Planned Parenthood called the bill "one of the worst pieces of public health legislation in Indiana's history," urged supporters to contact Daniels and request he veto the legislation. "Now it is up to the Governor and we hope, against all odds, he will do the right thing and veto this very bad bill," said President and CEO Betty Cockrum.
On the federal level, Planned Parenthood just survived a massive assault, led by Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) during the 2011 budget negotiations. A measure to strip Planned Parenthood of all federal funding was ultimately defeated.
The Kansas legislature is also considering a measure similar to Indiana's.

In 2010, Arizona enacted S.B. 1070, which legalizes racial profiling in that state, and effectively converts local law enforcement officials into de facto U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. This article argues that the statute is unconstitutional because it violates the Fourth Amendment, is void for vagueness, and violates the Supremacy Clause. S.B. 1070 also suffers from practical deficiencies in that it will harm communities and increase harassment of Latinos. In addition, it runs afoul of universally recognized human rights. Other states have passed laws similar to S.B. 1070. The constitutionality of S.B. 1070 is currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, which will issue a decision by the end of its 2011-2012 term. The Court is reviewing an opinion by the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overturning some provisions of S.B. 1070 as violative of the Supremacy Clause.

94 N. Main Street, Jasper, GA - (706) 253-2457
The bridge that crosses Talking Rock Creek in the Jones Mountain area is closed to vehicle traffic.
The bridge on Highway 136 that crosses Talking Rock Creek will be closed until further notice, according to Pickens' Georgia DOT engineer.
Following a state inspection the bridge was found to be unsafe for passing vehicles.
According to GDOT Area 1 Engineer Sam Wheeler, he is waiting on word from the state bridge inspector regarding repairs that will be needed. Wheeler said at this point there is no timeframe for when the bridge may reopen.
The bridge is located northeast of Jasper, less than a half mile on 136 after turning off of Burnt Mountain Road on to Jones Mountain Road. The road becomes Yukon Road in the Gilmer area.
See this week's Progress for comments from the engineer regarding structural problems that caused the bridge's closure.

Cool off with water, not sugar or alcohol. "Summer drinks can sabotage a weight-loss plan," says Dena McDowell, M.S., R.D., a nutritional expert for the weight-management program TOPS Club, Inc. Besides sugary soda and high-calorie energy and sports drinks, liquor can also be a diet derailer. Says McDowell, "A 6 ounce margarita is about 300 calories, while wine coolers and beer yield anywhere from 100-150 calories per serving. It's better to stay hydrated with plain water, or to have a white wine spritzer, which has fewer calories and less alcohol than a regular glass of wine.
Stay Skinny This Summer!

Did some of u here use frequently png sequence and treat them in jitter ? should be great to find some friend for share
all the best
Nobody ^^ ok…
i do a lot with video i convert to native jxf-image sequences and have some experience in handling these in jitter. what do you want to know? maybe i can help… k
cool karl, In fact I'm doing a patch able to recognise a png sequence and load it frame by frame for doing some stuff, in my case I do video clip and my project is too use the enveloppe of an audio file for doing glitch on a png sequence with a good synchro
so, what's your question? for a general idea: i store each videoclip in a separate folder containing one jxf-file sequence. i read them in via a umenu, the folder name includes the number of frames. this framecount i read in (zl slice), and then feed into a counter which handles the playback. k
yes karl , that's probably the easyiest solution. I'm trying to do a patch a bit more smarter, able to recognize directly the different sequence in a same folder, I'm near but video and jitter isn't really my priority for the moment so that's why I answer only now. I will try to post the past once it is finished could be cool if that generate a bit of interest right here

Angels' 2010 preview: Generation Next
It has been quite a rebuilding job by the Angels.
Teams in the midst of such a thorough transition phase don't usually win five division titles in six years and reach baseball's final four (the League Championship Series) twice. But that's what the Angels have done – dominate their division and average 94 wins per season while almost totally overhauling their roster.
Eight years is a long time in any pro sport. So it's not surprising reliever Scot Shields is the only Angel left from their 2002 championship team.
But Shields is also the only player from their 2004 playoff roster still with the team. And outfielder Juan Rivera is the only player who was in the Angels' starting lineup on Opening Day 2006 who will take the field again as a starter in this year's season opener Monday night. Only the bottom third of the 2007 Opening Day lineup (Howie Kendrick, Mike Napoli and Maicer Izturis) remains with the team three years later.
The core group that featured Tim Salmon and Darin Erstad and Troy Percival grew old. A new core group led by Vladimir Guerrero and John Lackey and Francisco Rodriguez has come and gone.
Now it is a new nucleus of homegrown young players – pitchers Jered Weaver, Joe Saunders, Erick Aybar, Kendry Morales, Kendrick and the catching tandem of Napoli and Jeff Mathis – that has taken over.
"Yeah, it's their team," Angels outfielder Torii Hunter said. "When you first come up, you're trying to feel your way, get your numbers so you can prove you belong. These guys have all done that. They know they belong now.
"These are homegrown guys. These are your core group, guys that came up together in your system."
Angels manager Mike Scioscia likes to talk about young players needing to make "footprints in the major leagues." These young players made their first set of prints with veterans like Guerrero and Garret Anderson, Lackey and Bartolo Colon bearing the primary responsibility for the team's success or failure. Now the footprints get deeper as these players carry a heavier burden for an Angels team looking to become the first A.L. West team to win four consecutive division titles since the 1971-75 Oakland A's.
"Their team? You don't put that all on a couple guys," Shields said. "Their time? Yeah. I think they've shown that with what they've done already and they're only going to get better.
"These guys are definitely capable of carrying our team and I think you'll see that. I think you started to see that already the past couple years."
The Angels have spent big to surround their developing players with veterans (Hunter, Bobby Abreu and Hideki Matsui being the current examples). But the 2009 team leaders in batting average (Aybar), home runs, RBI, slugging percentage (Morales), wins (Weaver and Saunders), starts, innings and strikeouts (Weaver) were all from the new nucleus.
"Obviously, you're going to miss a guy like Figgy or Vlad," Kendrick said, referring to two of the four veterans who left via free agency this winter (along with Lackey and Darren Oliver). "But in a sense, we've matured as players and we have a sense of what we need to do as players. We've learned a lot from those guys over the last few years but we've still got the veteran leadership of Torii and Bobby and now Hideki.
"Guys like Figgy, I'm sure, were in the same position as us once but then they matured as players the same way we are."
And then they left. While the Angels have done an excellent job of grooming the next generation during this transition phase, they have not done as well at retaining those players when they reached their free-agent years – or, in some cases, even tried very hard.
When the Angels take the field against the Twins Monday, the entire infield (Morales, Kendrick, Aybar and Brandon Wood) plus the starting catcher (Mathis or Napoli) and pitcher (Weaver) will be homegrown, none older than 27 (28 if Napoli starts at catcher). The starting rotation (when Scott Kazmir returns from the DL) has just one player older than 28 (Joel Pineiro).
Most of that group has just entered the salary-escalating years of arbitration eligibility. How long they can be kept together is not something on their minds.
"No, I just know I'm here and I have a job to do," Weaver said when asked about the graduation of "sixth-year seniors" like Rodriguez, Lackey and Figgins in recent years. "That business aspect of things – you know it's there especially when you don't see guys stick with the team like they used to.
"You can't really worry, 'Am I going to be here? Am I going to be somewhere else in a couple years?' You just worry about doing your job and let the chips fall where they may when the time comes."
For now, the focus is on holding off the challenges of the Mariners and Rangers within the division and carrying on the winning legacy passed to them like a baton.
"Footprints usually don't appear in a half-year or one year. Footprints are when guys have stood the test of time and you can be confident in what you're going to get from them year after year," Scioscia said. "We have a lot of guys who are on their way. Some guys are further along but they're in that process.
"There's a lot of young talent in that room at different stages of development but poised to play at a very, very high level along with some veterans that are still performing at a high level. Passing the baton or however you want to say it is going on and has been going on. I think that's the only way you're going to have success over a number of years. ... At some point, you're going to have to get younger. Young players coming up that you think have the talent to be the core of a championship club – you're really going to have to trust that talent at some point. They have to get the opportunity."

Warning Against the Adulteress
1 My son, keep my wordsand store up my commands within you.
2 Keep my commands and you will live;
guard my teachings as the apple of your eye.
3 Bind them on your fingers;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Say to wisdom, "You are my sister,"
and call understanding your kinsman;
5 they will keep you from the adulteress,
from the wayward wife with her seductive words.
6 At the window of my house
I looked out through the lattice.
7 I saw among the simple,
I noticed among the young men,
a youth who lacked judgment.
8 He was going down the street near her corner,
walking along in the direction of her house
9 at twilight, as the day was fading,
as the dark of night set in.
10 Then out came a woman to meet him,
dressed like a prostitute and with crafty intent.
11 (She is loud and defiant,
her feet never stay at home;
12 now in the street, now in the squares,
at every corner she lurks.)
13 She took hold of him and kissed him
and with a brazen face she said:
14 "I have fellowship offerings at home;
today I fulfilled my vows.
15 So I came out to meet you;
I looked for you and have found you!
16 I have covered my bed
with colored linens from Egypt.
17 I have perfumed my bed
with myrrh, aloes and cinnamon.
18 Come, let's drink deep of love till morning;
let's enjoy ourselves with love!
19 My husband is not at home;
he has gone on a long journey.
20 He took his purse filled with money
and will not be home till full moon."
21 With persuasive words she led him astray;
she seduced him with her smooth talk.
22 All at once he followed her
like an ox going to the slaughter,
like a deer stepping into a noose
23 till an arrow pierces his liver,
like a bird darting into a snare,
little knowing it will cost him his life.
24 Now then, my sons, listen to me;
pay attention to what I say.
25 Do not let your heart turn to her ways
or stray into her paths.
26 Many are the victims she has brought down;
her slain are a mighty throng.
27 Her house is a highway to the grave,
leading down to the chambers of death.
This is so descriptive. I could visualize the whole scene! I'm struck by the fact that the young man was fairly aimless as he started going the direction of the adulteress. It reminds how much we each need to keep ourselves busy doing something productive, beneficial, and service-oriented. By filling our time and energy with what the Lord directs, we can avoid some of sin's snares.

Europe's offshore wind installations fall behind target
Date: 29-Jan-13
Country: UK
Author: Karolin Schaps
The number of wind turbines built in European waters is lagging behind targets by nearly 1,000 megawatts (MW), the equivalent of around 330 turbines, an industry report showed on Sunday.
A total of 4,994 MW of offshore wind capacity is currently producing electricity in Europe's waters, but European Union (EU) countries had targeted an installation of 5,829 MW by the end of 2012, data published by the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) showed.
The EU wants to generate 20 percent of its energy consumption from renewable sources by 2020 in a bid to cut climate-harming emissions and its member states had to estimate yearly targets outlining how they would gradually contribute to the overall goal.
A comparison against the countries' 2012 targets for offshore wind showed France and Germany especially lagged heavily behind their goals.
France had not a single turbine installed at the end of last year despite a target of 667 MW, while Germany counted 280 MW against a goal of 792 MW.
France only launched its first tenders for offshore wind sites last year and in Germany questions over liability for delays in connecting offshore wind farms to the grid scared off investors.
Despite the slow progress, Europe installed a record breaking 1,166 MW in offshore wind capacity last year, beating its 2010 annual record of just below 900 MW.
"Solid installation figures do not alter the fact that the wind industry is being hit by political and regulatory instability, the economic crisis, the higher cost of capital and austerity," said Justin Wilkes, policy director at the EWEA.
Nevertheless, two deals involving refinancing of minority stakes helped push overall investment in offshore wind farms to a record high of 3.4-4.6 billion euros last year, compared with around 2.6-3.4 billion in 2011, the EWEA said, predicting an active year in 2013 as several transactions are outstanding.
Within the EU, Britain remained at the forefront of new and total installations, with around 73 percent of new turbines in 2012 and nearly 60 percent of total turbines placed in British waters.
British green energy association RenewableUK said the country's offshore wind farms produced enough power to supply 1.9 million homes.
The European offshore wind market also remained dominated by two manufacturers: Germany's Siemens and Denmark's Vestas, who together made 86 percent of Europe's installed offshore wind turbines.
The Danish manufacturer, whose share price is around 40 percent below last year's as it struggles to compete in an oversupplied market, failed to have any of its turbines installed in Europe last year, while Siemens' products were used in 860.4 MW of new capacity, EWEA data showed.
