Hypotension is the state of having abnormally low blood pressure. (Below about 90/60 mmHg or lower for particularly athletic patients.) This is normally a minor and transient physiological phenomenon resulting in the sensation of light-headedness. If this dizziness persists or progresses to fainting or seizures, immediate medical attention should be sought as prolonged or severe hypotension can deprive the brain and other organs of oxygen and lead to shock. Hypotension is usually mild and not symptomatic of an ongoing condition requiring such medical attention.
Hypotension can also be associated with blurred vision, fatigue, mild depression, nausea, pallor and sleepiness.
Hypovolemia -- low blood volume, is the common cause of Hypotension. This can be caused by blood loss or dehydration (from too little fluid entering the body or too much leaving). Hypotension can also be caused by abnormally low cardiac output or excessive vasodilation. These situations may result from cardiac, endocrine or nervous dysfunction, possibly due to various medications or anaphylaxis. Anemia or systemic infection may also lead to hypotension.
The common person's experience of hypotension results from minor orthostatic hypotension -- a light-headed sensation experienced when e.g. standing up too quickly from a crouch, or significant vasodilation caused by e.g. lengthy use of a hot tub or sauna. Some people -- particularly older people experiencing hypertension or nervous disorders, experience postprandial hypotension in which the gut requires lots blood to help digest a meal and the neural-hormonal mechanisms that normal regulate blood pressure fail to compensate.
When hypotension is suspected, physicians may use any of the following techniques to obtain diagnostic information: blood test (CBC, electrolyte, cortisol), cardio-stress tests, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, radiologic examination (x-ray, CT scan), tilt-table test, ultrasonic examination of leg veins, urinalysis and the Valsava maneuver. Common treatments for hypotension include: compression stockings on the lower body, decreased alcohol consumption, increased salt intake, increased water intake and various pharmaceuticals.
Closely related E2 nodes (should some of these be herein merged/moved?): orthostatic hypotension, Postural Hypotension, vaso-vagal syncope

A profits warning from Icap, the world's largest interdealer broker, prompted a sell-off in its shares today, with the company losing almost a fifth of its value. Icap said it expected to make between £295m and £315m this year, significantly less than the £336m the City had been expecting.
Michael Spencer, Icap's founder and chief executive, blamed the profits warning on the fact that some of the company's newer businesses were taking longer to than expected to turn a profit, though he said the first few weeks of 2010 had seen an improvement in trading.
Mr Spencer also warned that Icap was concerned about regulatory uncertainty, amid the continuing debate about reforms of the way in which financial services are policed following the credit crunch.
Icap was forced to defend Mr Spencer, who sold £45m worth of Icap shares three weeks ago. That stake would today be worth around £30m.
Icap said Mr Spencer, who is treasurer of the Conservative Party and a confidante of Tory leader David Cameron, had not broken any rules by selling the stake. It pointed out that at the time of the share sale, Mr Spencer would have been unaware of December's trading performance, the perid during which the slowdown began.

Re: On ABC right now!
No, it's not just about Toledo, it's something that scares them even more. Two 13yo girls w/ a band called Prussian Blue who perform WN songs. Imagine the Olsen twins singing about racial purity. That's what scares the PC Jewish controlled Corporate Media. Sad.

Re: On ABC right now!
It was a total hatchet job. I liked how they mentioned Toledo twice, both times saying, "White Nationalists showed up to protest, resulting in a riot, with over 100 arrests." Anyone who didn't know better would think it was the WNs that rioted, which is, of course not what happened at all(the riot didn't begin in earnest until after the NSM left, and no NSM member was involved in the rioting, and none were arrested or injured). The entire thing was buzzwords and BS.

Re: On ABC right now!
Who decides what is hate and what isn't?
THE DRUDGE REPORT is at this moment linking to two stories that by themselves aren't very interesting, but when taken together are most revealing. Let's start with the story titled Young Singers Spread Racist Hate. It's about a pair of twin 13-year-old girls who call themselves Prussian Blue and who sing about white nationalism, or, at least that's what the story claims they sing about, and it's laced with captions like "Teaching Hate" or "A Taste for Hate" that suggest that the writer/producer really wants us to believe that these are really very hateful 13-year-old girls. The only thing is, they can't really make the case for that. There is this quote, attributed to one of the girls, which reads: ""We're proud of being white, we want to keep being white," said Lynx. "We want our people to stay white we don't want to just be, you know, a big muddle. We just want to preserve our race." Is that hate? I ask because DRUDGE links to another story on the same page titled Palm Beach County: 'More Jewish' than N.Y., from which it can be quoted: If Jews can assert their heritage by going to a show at the Kravis featuring a Jewish comedian or by enjoying a bowl of matzo-ball soup at their local deli, they may not feel the need to join a synagogue, local Jewish leaders say. Add to that the challenges the religion has faced in recent decades from interfaith marriages. Clearly, the desire is being expressed here that Jews continue to marry other Jews. Prussian Blue expresses the desire that whites marry whites. So that's hate. But when Jews express a desire that Jews marry Jews, that isn't hate? Nor is it hate when Israel, the Jewish state, passes legislation aimed at preventing Muslims from marrying Jews? Nor is it hate when foreigners who work in Israel are forced to agree to not have sex with Jews? Readers who've read my previous blog entry titled Why didn't you know know where I'm going with this. Hatred is in the eye of the beholder. And in these cases, the eye of the beholder sees things through a decidedly Jewish filter. The Prussian Blue story is by ABC News. The President of ABC News is David Westin, who is a Jew. ABC News of course is owned by The Disney Corp. The President of Disney is Robert Iger. Who is a Jew. The Chairman of the Board at Disney is still Michael Eisner. Who is a Jew as well. A news organization that answers exclusively to Jews sees hatred in one race expressing a desire to foster "racial identity", but declines to see the same when their own express the very same desire. It's worth noting that Matt Drudge is Jewish as well. http://holocaustnow.blogspot.com/200...what-isnt.html |

I am not a big iPhone apps junkie, I use my phone mainly to feed my addiction to checking my email when I'm away from home, but as a sucker for paint charts and a huge fan of Haymes paint, I jumped straight to the apps store when I heard that they have introduced a new app called Haymes iColour.
I am smitten - you can take a photo with your phone of anything that you love and get a match with a Haymes paint colour, which you can then go and check in a Haymes store (or if you're like me, you wont need to as you'll already own the megadeck of paint chips).
Not only that, but the app suggests a colour scheme around your chosen paint, and also other alternatives to look at. I took a photo of the new calendar from this month's Frankie magazine, which just happens to be on the wall near my desk, and apparently the nearest shade is Rapunzel (who wouldn't love a paint company with names like that?). So when I get home tonight I will check my charts to see how it compares!
How much fun am I going to have with this new toy? Hee hee hee...

That does look like a great ap, it would be cool if it could cover a wall in a photo with a colour to see how it looks.
Although they got complimentary wrong, should be complementary (unless you get those other colours free!). But that is just the anal art teacher in me! - Thursday, 29 April, 2010

James Harden, an All-Star in his first year with the Rockets, was named as third-team selection to the All-NBA team today.
Harden received five first-team votes from a panel of 119 writers and broadcasters.
He is the first Rockets to be an All-NBA selection since Yao Ming was second team in 2009. Yao and Tracy McGrady were third-team picks in 2008.
Harden finished behind guards Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul (first team) and Tony Parker and Russell Westbrook (second team).
Another third-team selection? Lakers center Dwight Howard, a free agent that the Rockets are pursuing to join Harden.
LeBron James was a unanimous first-team selection.

Whatever happened to the Hurd? – The story of the GNU OS
Although the GNU operating system was first conceived in 1983 and the Free Software Foundation (FSF) had first declared an interest in using the Mach microkernel as the core of the GNU operating system kernel as far back as 1987, the sources of the Mach microkernel – developed at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) – weren't released under a suitable licence until 1991, by which time Linus Torvalds had begun his project to write a UNIX-like kernel for the IBM 386.
If the Linux kernel hadn't been written when it was, licensed under the GPLv2 and surrounded by components of the GNU operating system, or Linux hadn't captured the moment and the imagination of developers, the energy that gathered around Linux might have gone to the Hurd and the world might have been a different place.

Irrawaddy river dolphins, once in danger of extinction, are now saving the rural north-eastern town of Kratie. For years the dolphins were killed in now illegal fishing practices and hunted by the Khmer Rouge, but their appeal to tourists is bringing the welcome foreign dollars to the region. Kratie is accustomed to budget travellers, with a choice of cheap guesthouses. All of these offer motorbike drivers for the scenic 9 mile (15km) drive to the dolphins' river home. From the river shore, tourists can rent small boats to get closer. While the oarsmen retain a healthy distance from the surfacing animals, viewers can get near enough to see a similarity between Khmer and dolphin smiles.

Liquid Silicone Rubber For Molded Parts, Silicone Sheets and Rolls
Stockwell Elastomerics is a leading manufacturer of liquid silicone rubber based products utilizing its extensive in-house silicone rubber molding operations. LSR is a versatile elastomer that is made into sheets and continuous rolls for die cutting or waterjet cutting. Stockwell Elastomerics also injection molds custom 3D parts per customer specifications. LSRs have a wide temperature range (-58°F to 392°F) and can be made in wide durometer range (10 - 80 Shore A) without plasticizers. Silicone's excellent rebound, UV and ozone resistance makes it ideal for outdoor sealing and can be use for submerged gaskets (IP67 and NEMA 6). Stockwell Elastomerics maintains in-house inventory of silicone sheet, silicone rolls and molding compounds to be injection molded for fast response times.

Request BrochureWhat is Liquid Silicone Rubber?
Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is very low viscosity silicone that can be injection molded or cast into silicone rubber sheets. "Liquid" is explicit in the name to differentiate LSRs from high consistency gum based silicone products. LSRs are addition cure / platinum cure systems in contrast with most gum based silicones that are peroxide cured. In its raw uncured form, LSR is two parts liquid that are mixed together (mixing of Part A and Part B starts the curing) and heated to accelerate the curing process. Raw gum based silicones look and feel similar to clay. LSRs are generally injection molded or cast while gum based silicones are typically compression molded. Note that injection molding of liquid silicone rubber is the inverse of molding thermoplastics; room temperature liquid silicone compound is injected into and cured in a hot mold vs. plastic pellets melted into hot liquid and forced into a cooled mold.
Silicone Materials Selection Guide
Why Specify Liquid Silicone Rubber?
Performance properties and fast cure cycles make liquid silicone rubber a good choice for small molded components. Unlike most thermoplastic elastomers (TPRs and TPEs), LSR remains flexible and elastic down to -58°F and retains its properties up to 392°F. Liquid silicone rubber is a good candidate for gaskets, seals and cushioning pads in portable communications, data acquisition instruments and ruggedized electronic devices where outdoor conditions are demanding.
Liquid Silicone Durometer Range
LSR is available in a hardness range of 10 to 80 durometer Shore A. 10 durometer LSR is very soft like chewing gum and can feel softer than some extra firm silicone foam and silicone sponge products. 80 durometer LSR is harder than a heel of a shoe and is as firm as many thermoplastic elastomer products. Most applications for LSR are specified in the 20 to 60 durometer Shore A range.
Stockwell Elastomerics' Liquid Silicone Rubber Touch Brochure can assist with selection of material hardness for specific applications. The tensile, elongation and tear resistance properties of liquid silicones have improved since the initial commercialization of LSR.
Liquid Silicone Rubber Availability
Stockwell Elastomerics offers off-the-shelf LSR sheets (12" x 12") and continuous cast rolls with or without acrylic or silicone pressure sensitive adhesive options. The 12" x 12" molded sheets are available from .032" to .125" thick. Stockwell Elastomerics' on-site molding facility provides molded and cryogenically deflashed, custom liquid silicone gaskets and a variety of custom components.
LSR At a Glance
- Wide hardness range of 10 to 80 durometer Shore A
- Wide operating temperature (-58°F to 392°F)
- Excellent UV and ozone resistance
- Excellent electrical insulation

If Jesus on the cross actually is God on the cross, and if God on the cross is Godforsaken, if God comes to the cross to feel what it's like to be us at our most human, then what if the cross is also God's mea culpa?

Atonement theology says, "Jesus died so we might live." It suggests that the torture and murder lamented this Friday is "good."
I think that there is something powerful in simply considering Christ as a criminal defendant. That subtle change in perspective can change worlds.

quick question:
Are you 21
or over?
or over?
Smooth Ambler's distillery is just a few miles from the Greenbrier Hotel, famous for its white sulphur springs, which are thought to have special restorative properties. Smooth Ambler's gin is made with this same water, so it's no wonder that when we take a sip, we're totally blissed out.
With a base spirit closer to moonshine than vodka (after all, it's made in West Virginia, the heart of moonshine territory), this is a rich gin with lots of spice and citrus. The juniper is mellow in the mix, and it almost tastes like an American riff on Dutch Genever, the spirit that originally inspired what we all know as gin.
Greenbrier shines in classic, herbal cocktails like The Last Word: Mix 3/4 oz gin, 3/4 oz green Chartreuse, 3/4 oz maraschino liqueur and 3/4 oz fresh lime juice in a cocktail shaker with lots of ice. Shake until very cold and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Gin can be infused with a wide variety of botanicals, but it MUST contain juniper berries, which are responsible for that distinct, piney, gin-y flavor.

Slackware-current is looking good
MySQL was removed and substituted with MariaDB.
Upgraded version of network manager, version 0.9.8 support bridge interfaces. A minor upgrade to xfce. And the addition of elilo. I am expecting a impressive Slackware. I just want to thanks all the Slackware team for their effort. |
Agreed! Slackware-current is looking very good indeed! :)
I am thinking that Slackware 14.1 will be another amazing release. |
I saw the mariadb when I updated one of my Slack boxes today (I'll do the other tomorrow).
Mariadb now has the PV seal of approval. Who could ask for more? |
I keep wondering what the final kernel version will be.
The latest "longterm" kernels are from the 3.4 series. https://www.kernel.org/ 3.7 is at End of Life (EOL) and 3.8 is destined to end once 3.9 is released. http://www.kroah.com/log/ If Slackware is to be released soon, should it use a longterm 3.4 kernel instead of an EOL 3.7 kernel? |
Frequently a kernel needs to be replaced because of newer hardware compatibility or for security reasons. For example, my current hardware cannot run X using the Slackware 14.0 kernel 3.2.29. So I had to upgrade my kernel to a later one. To keep a "stable" system the logical thing to do is upgrade to the latest 3.2 kernel, which today is 3.2.41 A jump staying on the same 3.2 level is usually fairly easy as the kernel configuration does not change very much at all. If kernel 3.2.29 were EOL then I would be forced to go to 3.4 or higher in order to make the system work. The kernel jump from 3.2 to 3.4 introduces changes to the configuration for which there are no easy answers. Try configuring a 3.4 kernel starting with a config file from kernel 3.2.29. Then use "make oldconfig" and you will see all the questions that need to be answered... So a kernel jump to a new level introduces instability because there are more changes than simply upgrading a kernel on the same level. |
I tried to jump from 3.2.29 to 3.2.40 and experienced a couple of hard system lockups this week, so I'm not sure jumping between LTS releases is completely safe, but it's probably safer than jumping between minor number releases. I'd wager -current will release with the next branch marked LTS, but time will tell! |
Being able to change kernels easily is one of the reasons I chose Slackware over Debian. I hope that 3.9 becomes the next Long Term Stable (LTS) branch. And I'm running 3.9-rc4 right now with no problems. |
yeah I'm also running a more current kernel, the 3.8.4 kernel due to heating problems with my amd hd6700m hybrid graphics caused by the 3.7.10 kernel.
Member Response
I think PV has already stated the '3.7.1' will eventually be the kernel of choice. Just upgraded my Slackware64 14.0 to '3.7.10' to get the Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 1030 working properly after my Laptop motherboard and wireless daughter-board were replaced by Dell. They still need to replace the USB daughter-board that is still erratic. PV provides everything at http://slackware.oregonstate.edu/sla...ent/source/k/; Quote:
I was a bit worried with this "drop in" MariaDB replacement for MySQL, but all is well. Not one glitch so far with any of my databases. Phew that's a relief.. :)

Did Lee DeWyze get cold feet about going on stage at the American Idol finale to hand down the winner's trophy to Scotty McCreery? Seems unlikely that a guy who did well enough on stage last year to win would suddenly lose his nerve.
During Wednesday night's season 10 finale, Scotty McCreery was announced the American Idol winner. Yet instead of the previous year's winner awarding him with the trophy pageant-style, Lee DeWyze remained planted in his seat. Judge Jennifer Lopez stepped in to fulfill the trophy duties due to Lee's apparent tantrum.
Referring to the Lee DeWyze trophy scandal, executive producer Nigel Lythgoe wrote on his Twitter page Thursday morning, "I was so upset Lee DeWyze wouldn't present the winners trophy to Scotty. Especially as he'd been on the show this Season. I guess he was shy."
Looks like there has been some bad blood going on between American Idol and Lee DeWyze for a while now. Contrary to American Idol tradition, the season nine winner was not invited to perform at this year's finale.
During Wednesday night's show, Lee DeWyze, who was sitting in the audience, was hardly seen on camera. Is it a coincidence that at one point host Ryan Seacrest stood right in front of Lee DeWyze's seat while talking, blocking the singer from view?
Looks like Lee DeWyze's refusing to hand off the trophy to Scotty McCreery is a gesture of his true feelings about American Idol!

Actually, it depends on the action, and the intended result.
For example, the man normally stays on the balls of his feet while traveling backwards during a Weave action. On the other hand, he should release his toe on the first two steps of a Wave or Back Feather, but then release the heel on the third. In other words, step 2 has delayed foot rise.
That's why in my original reply, for man's backward steps I wrote "variable; depends on movement".

Robson's four goalkeepers are all on the injured list - Mark Schwarzer has a calf problem, Ben Roberts has a swollen arm, Gary Walsh is recovering from a knee operation and Alan Miller has a suspected broken hand - and he was yesterday refused permission to borrow a goalkeeper to help his relegation-threatened side through four League games in eight days.
A Premier League spokesman said last night: "The request has been turned down. The position is perfectly clear. You can't sign players after the deadline and expect to play them in matches affecting the championship or relegation."
Robson said: "If you've got four goalkeepers out injured surely there's got to be a dispensation. As it stands, we'll just have to wrap Ben Roberts in cotton wool. The player we've always said would go in goal in an emergency is Neil Cox."
Chelsea have, as expected, beaten off interest from Italy and Spain to sign the Uruguayan midfielder Gustavo Poyet. The 29-year-old international will go to Stamford Bridge on 30 June on a free transfer, under the Bosman ruling, when his contract ends with Spain's Real Zaragoza.
Ian Wright is in trouble with the Football Association again. The Arsenal striker has been summoned to Lancaster Gate as a result of comments he allegedly made to the referee, Mike Riley, at the end of Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Blackburn.
Jim Smith, Derby County manager, has made a pounds 3.5m offer to Monaco for the French international Emmanuel Petit, who can play left-back, centre- back or in midfield.
West Bromwich's chairman, Tony Hale, may call on the club's former manager, Alan Buckley, to help to resolve a contract dispute with the striker Paul Peschisolido. The Canadian asked for a transfer this week, claiming that Albion had broken promises made when Buckley signed him for pounds 600,000 last summer. Buckley is suing Albion after being sacked by the club in January and failing to agree compensation.

With the aging of the baby boom generation, the practice of geriatrics -- medical care of the elderly -- is an increasingly important area of specialization. A wide range of diseases and conditions are common to older patients, including cancers, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and dementia. Geriatricians have the necessary training to act as primary caregivers to the elderly, and coordinate care with specialists as necessary. Unfortunately, geriatrics is among the lowest-paying specialties in medicine.
Geriatric Incomes
The Medical Group Management Association is one of several industry bodies to perform regular salary surveys of the medical profession. In its 2011 study, cited on the American Geriatric Society's website, the MGMA reports a median salary of $183,523 for geriatricians. A median is the point in a group at which half earn more and half earn less. The rival American Medical Group Association places the median slightly higher, at $187,602 per year. While enviable by most standards, this is a modest salary within the medical profession.
Primary Care Comparison
Other primary care physicians receive similarly modest salaries. The MGMA study reports a median income of $189,402 per year for family physicians and $205,379 for internists, two branches of medicine comparable in scope to geriatrics. The AMGA places the medians slightly higher, at $208,861 for family physicians and $214,307 per year for internists. Among other primary care providers, the AMGA cites a median income of $232,075 for gynecologists and $209,873 for pediatricians.
Specialist Comparisons
Though other primary care physicians outearn geriatricians, specialists can earn significantly more than primary care providers. For example, the AMGA study reports a median income of $402,000 for cardiologists, $454,205 for radiologists and $354,750 for pathologists. Surgical specialties pay even more lavishly, with orthopedic spinal surgeons' median income reaching $688,503. Neurosurgeons reported a median income of $592,811 in the same study, and general surgeons earned $357,091. The American Geriatrics Society points out that with medical students' indebtedness on the rise, this sharp disparity between the income of specialists and geriatricians makes it difficult to attract medical students into this area of practice.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that overall demand for physicians will be high over the coming years, with anticipated growth of 24 percent between 2010 and 2020. This is higher than the average for all occupations. The combination of an aging population and relatively low pay within geriatrics has led to a decline in the number of practitioners. A 2005 study in the "Journal of the American Geriatric Society" projects that the shortfall of geriatric practitioners could reach 36,000 by the year 2030. This means that opportunities should be plentiful for physicians choosing to specialize in geriatrics.

Is name brand stuff such as jl audio, rockford fosgate, or mtx ok to buy at other websites or will it be a cheaper version made from china? what you think???
Is name brand stuff such as jl audio, rockford fosgate, or mtx ok to buy at other websites or will it be a cheaper version made from china? what you think???
alot of its overpriced for what you can get. alot of people think the more you pay the better but in alot of cases its not. ask people on here for info on some actual good audio brands.
From those websites, it is perfectly fine. Crutchfield is authorized for everything they sell, SonicElectronix is one of the most popular businesses out there, and usually Amazon is spot on as well. Whether or not the stuff is overprice is a different situation altogether.
Bought from: BassAddictJ, TBH1, Whitedragon551, Parker G, Ciaonzo, James Bang, GetLikeMe, Here-I-Come
Sold to: Slim2fattycake, Bigbangtheory, Safe_Cracker, Burton6431
Traded: Bergend2
yeah, companies now make 2 versions one american made and other chinese made. 80% of consumer electronics are made in china, 15% made in Korea and 4% made in the USA, 1% elsewhere. this isn't food products sold at walmart where the difference is 20oz or 16oz. real genius question.
Here is my feedback Thread: http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showth...ght=fasfocus00
"If you ain't cheatin', You ain't trying"
sonic electronix and woofersetc and ebay are my preferred outlets. mostly i buy used stuff or trade it on CA or local though. not too much new stuff.
Refs: mrmakinmoves[SCAMMER] AKA ICHASEPAPER2010, skydeaner, fukinmovin, mossberg385t, grimreper912003, LBC99, Dbeez, Michaellane, thegreatestpenn, truckstoy, ge_off_me, btr, cupid6969, johnprdeye, jh8909, tylerj, UMWDawg92, nu2spl, zerosktr111, SPLAUDIO, $LICK CALIFA$, jfroghobo
I bought my equipments from Crutchfield and their services were outstanding, being the noob that I am in car electronics, but I managed to put everything in together.
I've browsed through Sonic's goods and it seems like there stuff were a bit cheaper than the items at crutchfield. Haven't compared recently but back then, it seemed Sonic was giving the better deal.
Amazon, you can enter in CODEs to get, for example, free shipping.
Overall, most of these websites are overcharged, but they do offer great services.
I've found deals on all kinds of **** on Amazon. From books to DVD box sets to musical instruments.
Crutchfield is generally pretty overpriced, but I'm sure they are authorized dealers for everything they sell. I've been getting Crutchfield catalogs since I was in college, maybe before, always a good read!

Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are adapted from Elizabeth Karmel's Web site, girlsatthegrill.com .
On the road to Lockhart, Texas in the Hill Country outside of Austin, I discovered barbecue heaven where smoke meets beef. This slow-cooked brisket is crunchy and almost burnt on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. After tasting a delicate 2-pound portion, I got some tips from the pit master himself and promptly went home and created my own version.
The simple salt-and-pepper Lockhart Dry Rub is favored by the old guard and the Tricked-Up Brisket Rub is akin to what some of the younger up-starts in the barbecue world are doing to add a little more dimension to their burnt ends. Both rubs are great for slow-cooking and smoking brisket. You only need to make one rub to make this brisket so just pick whichever is more appealing to you.
Be sure to purchase an untrimmed brisket. The meat needs all of the fat cap to keep it moist during the long cooking time.
Leave a Review
I found the Tricked up Brisket rub way too hot¿.ruined the lovely taste of the brisket¿.will have to figure something out to improve it before serving tomorrow.
It sounds delicious but is definitely not kosher for Passover as suggested since the use of beer is prohibited
This was so EASY. i did the rub which was good but the best part was the fact that there is very little prep work for this recipe. I read the other reviewer who did the 8 hour cook. I put in the foil which i then placed in my dutch oven. I left it about 8 hours at 225 and when i came home it was done and so tender. i used some previously made barbeque sauce and it was really good with supereasy cleanup. next time i might try different spices and would a little more sugar to make it just a touch sweet.
If you get it off the original website, this is a delicious recipe. The best part is the "Hill Country Rub," which is omitted here. I've also cooked this in a crockpot on low for 5+ hours with a cup of beer, with wonderful results.

01-04-2013, 05:46 AM #1No bumping into anything or falling into fountains ) Text and Walk safely
Hi, avid texters! Do you remember the video with a girl walking through a mall while either reading or typing a message? Shes so involved that she didnt notice the fountain she was approaching. The girl ended up in the fountain. I dont think texting is distracting. I text quite a lot, I like to text my friends while I am walking around, and never bumped into anything or anyone. Found this https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/text-and-walk-app/id568779489 really useful. It helps to see what is in front of me using my iphone's camera. Well, I really don't need to explain about Facebook, Twitter as these running in my blood )))) Im not a kind of obsessed zombie person, but with it I can safely text and walk at the same time, send tweets to all my twitter followers and messages to all my Facebook friends. It helps me to keep in touch with everybody online and off without stopping. No bumping into anything or falling into fountains )

I'm not an author myself. I just joined to read, since some stories require signing in.
Difficult to say I like it, but your writing is good, and I'm intrigued. If you were to write more, I would read them.
Interesting. I find the last sentence especially tantalizing if you read the fic from the perspective that there is no afterlife. It is not the forgiveness of a god he seeks, but his own, and he only has one way to escape his self-condemnation.
Maybe that's not at all what you meant, but I think a literal reading would dull the humanity and tragedy of your story.
You are a very good writer. Do you write other things (i.e. not fan fiction)?
Author's Response: Not believeing in an afterlife myself, I love the fact that you picked up on that perspective, since it was the on I personally like to view it from. Thank you for commenting on it.
I have attempted a few pieces of non-fanfiction. but non of them are completed and they are all very slow going. But you never know, one day =)
I like the idea, and I think you have a good sense of imagery. But I think you need to work on the technical aspects of your writing.
The parentheticals disrupt the tone of the rest of the work, and make it much harder to get into. If you want to make those sorts of comments, I would try to write them from Malfoy's perspective, demonstrating his self-awareness, not the narrator's side-tracked thoughts.
You use the same idioms repeatedly. "It seems so right to him, somehow so fitting, that [...]"; "Too afraid to take a stand, too afraid to be wrong, too afraid to look like a fool, that [...]". There are others. If you're going to overuse sentence structures, do it with the simple ones. The complex ones stick out so much worse.
It feels as if you're trying to force a sort of grandeur, but don't know how to let it come naturally. In the context of this story, I would say shoot for simplicity in every aspect of the writing. That is not to say you should use plain, boring sentence structures, but that you should make an effort to not complicate them.
These are just a couple glaring things I noticed. Additionally, your beta should be riding your ass about grammar and tense. A bunch of minor slip ups can really interfere with reading any story. Example: "Maybe he would have had more options if he was." 'was' should be 'were' (subjunctive tense).
It's clear there is plenty of creativity there. With a compelling style, I think you could be writing some very good stuff.
Everything seems to be going too perfectly. Harry isn't good enough to take on Snape, as proved at the end of HBP. Remus feels safer knowing Harry? Huh?
This is starting off like a feel-good story. I'll probably read a bit more, but it will need to get much more interesting.
Author's Response: all wil be explained soon enough dont worry
I like this, so far. Your writing is good. (It seemed a little halting at the beginning, but picked up as the chapter went on.) I'm looking forward to reading this story.
Author's Response: Thanks so much!
I\'m glad u like it.
How... Christian.
Author's Response: Thanks!
Good lord, who proofread this? I like the idea, but your grammatical and spelling errors are killing me. As I understand it, there are betas to help catch things like this. I'm not particularly intereted in reading works in progress, but I offer to proofread it just before you submit. I'm not sure how to arrange such a thing, but if you're interested, I'm sure we can make an arrangement.
I'm favoriting this, since I like it, for the most part. But *please* clean up the grammar and spelling.

inquiries and investigations into child abuse, hope at last emerges for the thousands of children trappedin children's homes
without protection. Today, the Government will be urged to re-think its whole residential child care policy.
"We need vigorous rehabilitation of residential care, clear and consistent rules and modernisation of foster care. The Government, local authority managers and staff must be continually vigilant against abuse," says Sir William Utting in a 200-page report which has taken nearly a year to produce.
The report, which calls for a range of new measures to protect children at risk, comes more than six years after reports in The Independent and Independent on Sunday uncovered the North Wales child abuse scandal.
Following a long campaign by the two newspapers, the last Tory government set up a judicial tribunal of inquiry into abuse at the North Wales homes in the 1980s and the Utting inquiry into failings in the national system of residential care. The report to be published today by Sir William, a former head of social services inspections in England and Wales, contains 20 major recommendations which are expected to set new standards in childcare.
It presents a picture of a care system where runaway children were often returned to their abusers, where young people who alleged abuse were not believed, and where youngsters still face bullying and intimidation.
Children are moved around too often because there are insufficient homes for them, and young people are still at risk from abuse. Some children's homes are still not regulated, some youngsters receive poor or no education, and homes are plagued by chronic staff shortages,
Sir William's report:
Urges the Government to legislate to regulate private foster care following the boom in these agencies over the past five years. There has been concern that these agencies should be subject to regulation which would involve detailed vetting;
Calls for children's homes with fewer than four residents, which currently escape regulation under the Children Act, to be brought into line with larger homes. There are thought to be about 140 of these type of homes. Sir William says children in these homes may be at risk and that they should be regulated;
Urges the Department of Health and the Welsh Office to set up a specialist group to develop a childcare strategy for residential care;
Urges local authorities to secure more residential and foster care facilities. It says that too many children's homes have been closed leaving social services departments with too little choice when placing young people.
The report says residential homes are an important option for children in care but that the numbers have shrunk to stage where there is not enough choice. It says that the lack of choice leads to inappropriate placements, not suitable for the children concerned. As a consequence, children are moved too often, that they are not happy where they are placed, and in some homes vulnerable children are mixed with "fearsome" children, exposing them to bullying and intimidation.
The inquiry was set up at the same time as the North Wales tribunal into abuse at homes in Clwyd and Gwynedd, and the brief was to look at the current safeguards to see if they are the most effective possible to protect children from abuse, and if those safeguards are being enforced.
The report says that disabled children and those with behavioural problems are the most at risk because they are less likely to be believed when they make allegations. Sir William adds: "One of the worst features of past scandals is that children who ran way were continually returned to the abusers care."
His report will be followed next year by the finding of Sir Ronald Waterhouse's judicial tribunal which has been investigating abuse at homes in North Wales. It too is likely to make recommendations about the future of residential care.
In recent years residential care, once the main provision for children, has been in decline. A series of inquiries and police prosecutions involving abuse in the Seventies and Eighties have added to the poor image of residential care and hastened its demise.
But there is an emerging view that properly supervised residential care, possibly with a national inspectorate overseeing standards and behaviour, might be the best form of provision for vulnerable children. Smaller homes, with more highly trained staff and part of a national strategy, with individual specialist homes, might, some believe, be the answer.

NEW YORK (AP) – American Airlines argued before a federal bankruptcy judge Monday that its union contracts need to be changed to make the company financially stable.
The airline lost more than $10 billion in the decade leading up to its declaration of bankruptcy in November. During that same period most of its major rivals used the bankruptcy process to cut wages and benefits, which American says has left it saddled with higher labor costs.

BOSTON, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Rhythm announced today that the company has raised an additional $8 million to complete a $33 million Series B financing.

RM-493 is a melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) agonist that is completing Phase 1 clinical trials for the treatment of obesity and diabetes. This additional financing brings the total capital raised by Rhythm to $73 million.
"We are excited to have the support of Pfizer Ventures as we advance both metabolic programs through Phase 2 trials," said Bart Henderson, Co-Founder and President of Rhythm. "The Pfizer team has deep commercial and development experience that we intend to leverage as we expand the clinical trial program for these two important new therapeutics."
"The obesity and diabetes epidemics represent one of the largest medical challenges confronting society today," said Dr. Barbara Dalton, Vice President Venture Capital, Pfizer Venture Investments. "Rhythm's metabolic programs are compelling because of the initial proof-of-concept data from ongoing clinical programs, along with the fact that peptide therapeutics have delivered high success rates in clinical development. We are pleased to help Rhythm capitalize on its opportunities."

Hubby and I went on an intensive 3D2N trip with a few Uni friends to Macau and Hong Kong back in Sep. It was basically a EAT and GAMBLE PLAY trip, and unfortunately we didn't shop much due to time constraint. Food was indeed the highlight and we went to many makan places that were really impressionable. So I'm going to focus a lot on food for this update with lots of yummy-looking photos to whet your appetite :p
We took an early morning flight via Tigerair and reached Macau in the late morning. Our friends actually departed a day ahead of us and so we took a free shuttle bus to meet them at the hotel. As it was still too early for us to check-in, we decided to head off to Rua Do Chunha 官也街 for lunch. It was also a little early for lunch, so we walked around and went into a little cafe for some luncheon meat and egg sandwiches 餐蛋治. Oooh, I love luncheon meat and egg sandwiches from HK, they are just so yummy! Forgot to take photos in my frenzy to gooble down the sandwiches.
Deep-fried calamari. The calamari was fried to a perfect crisp and tasted so good with its chewy (not tough) texture. The dipping sauce was a little salty and sour, great combination!
Some veggies for a balanced meal. Stir-fried broccoli with baby clams. Nicely cooked too with a delicious sauce.
Here's the highlight, Crab Porridge. What can I say? The porridge tasted so sweet and fresh! Must be hours of slow cooking with the broth of chicken/pork with crab? It was so yummy that I had 2 bowls.
Steamed river eel in fermented bean and chilli. The eel looked menacing, I thought it would taste a little fishy but surprisingly not. Probably due to the use of fermented bean and chilli. The meat was quite tender as well. Not too bad.
Stir-fried spicy chicken. This was good, chicken meat was really tender and the sauce was tantalising.
After the satisfying lunch, we went casino-hopping and finally settled down at Wynn for Texas Hold'em Poker. Couldn't remember how long we played at the table, but by the time we realised, it was already past 8pm and we hadn't even checked in yet. Haha.
We decided to go for dinner first at a nearby restaurant, which served quite good food. We concluded that most restaurants in Macau/Hong Kong serve reasonably good food.
Stir-fried Kailan with garlic. Juicy and crunchy, nice.
Soothing and nourishing soup. Hong Kong/Macau people are really expert in boiling soup.
Shark's Fin broth with rice 鱼翅捞饭. The shark's fin broth was served in a hot stone bowl, we were supposed to pour the broth over rice for this. The broth was rich and went well with rice indeed.
Hong Kong/Macau is famous for its roast meats and so we simply had to try. The duck meat was juicy, tender and succulent. Thumbs up.
Seafood delicacies 包罗万有. A hot stone bowl full of seafood like scallops, abalone, sea cucumber and etc. Such decadence but actually not very ex.
We were greedy after whacking the duck meat and ordered some roast pork and char siew. The char siew was very nice, sweet and juicy. The roast pork was crispy but a tad too saltish.
Finally after the sumptious dinner, we headed back to our hotel, Hard Rock Hotel Macau to check in. But after washing up, we went back to Wynn Casino for more Texas Poker. Haha. Yes, we were crazy as it was already close to midnight. Well, since we were leaving for Hong Kong island the next day, we just had to maximise our time!
The deluxe room at Hard Rock Hotel was really spacious and well-appointed.
Such a pity that we spent so little time in the room. While the hotel is nice, it's located at the City of Dreams at Cotai, whereas our preferred casino is Wynn at the main Macau island. Probably next time we will stay directly at Wynn instead of having to travel a long distance between the hotel and casino.
We played till about 3-4am until almost KO. Headed back to the hotel and slept till late morning for check-out.
After check-out, we took a free shuttle bus to the ferry terminal bound for Hong Kong - our next leg of the trip. Had these scrumptious Portuguese egg tarts for brunch on board the ferry :p
The next post, I'll cover the Hong Kong leg of the trip, which was basically FOOD, FOOD and more FOOD. LOL :p Stay tuned!
