For more information on visiting Mayo Clinic, choose your location below: Mayo Clinic scientists, doctors and surgeons develop kidney transplant insights and innovations that make transplants safer and available to more people. They conduct laboratory studies, clinical trials and other research on many aspects of transplantation. They often collaborate with colleagues nationally and overseas, sharing their insights to improve care for people everywhere: Desensitization. Mayo Clinic kidney experts (nephrologists) were part of a national study that developed a procedure to alter people's immune systems so that they can accept kidneys from any donor. For some, this procedure — called desensitization — means less time waiting for an acceptable match and less time on dialysis. Multiorgan advances. Mayo's kidney and diabetes experts are part of an international study to develop better methods for doing pancreas and kidney transplants together, improving outcomes for people with kidney failure due to complications of diabetes. And in another recent multiorgan research study, Mayo Clinic scientists found long-term benefits to the kidney in simultaneous liver-kidney transplant. Paired donations. Mayo experts have assessed patient outcomes of the clinic's three-site kidney paired-donor program, improving this important and evolving transplant option. Anti-rejection pioneers. And Mayo Clinic researchers were among the first to develop treatments to counteract antibodies to prevent rejection of a donor kidney with an incompatible blood type.

Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. Many insurance companies require you to get preapproval authorization before receiving transplant services. Insurance informationBefore your transplant, it's important that you work closely with your insurance company to understand your benefit plan. You'll be responsible for any of your transplant and medical care costs not covered by your insurance company. You may want to ask your insurance company several questions about your transplant expenses, such as: What is the specific coverage of my plan? What are my deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, lifetime maximum amount, and annual maximum amounts for both medical care and transplant services? Does my plan have a pre-existing or waiting period clause? If so, what is the time frame? Can this be waived? Does my plan include pharmacy coverage? If so, will my plan cover my current medications and immunosuppressant medications? Does my plan require any special approvals for evaluation or transplant? How long does the approval process take once submitted to insurance? Does my plan cover my transportation and lodging expenses during my transplant care? Does my insurance require enrollment in Medicare when I become eligible? Does my insurance follow Medicare Coordination of Benefits Guidelines? How will my coverage change after I enroll in Medicare? Will my plan become a supplemental or secondary plan? If your plan is a Medicare supplement, ask questions such as: Does my plan follow Medicare guidelines? Does my plan cover Medicare Part A and Part B deductible and coinsurance? Does my plan have a pre-existing or waiting period clause? If so, what is the time frame? Does my plan offer an option for Medicare Part D coverage? Other expensesPlease plan for other expenses that may occur related to your transplant. These may include, for example, follow-up medical appointments, long-term medications, caregiver expenses, travel, parking and lodging. For international patientsMayo Clinic has dedicated international patient account representatives who can assist you with questions regarding your costs and insurance.

Kidney Transplant — Adult Arizona Florida Minnesota (Methodist Hospital Campus) Minnesota (Saint Marys Hospital Campus) Kidney Transplant — Children Minnesota Kidney/Pancreas Transplant — Adult Arizona Florida Minnesota People with chronic kidney disease who meet certain criteria of kidney function and those on dialysis are most appropriately treated with a kidney transplant. Chronic kidney disease may be caused by many medical conditions, including: High blood pressure (hypertension) Diabetes Glomerulonephritis Polycystic kidney disease Kidney and urinary tract diseases present from birth (congenital) Your transplant team will evaluate you to determine whether a kidney transplant may be safe and beneficial for you. Your comprehensive evaluation will include blood tests, imaging scans and other tests. Doctors will check you for other serious conditions, including chronic infections, cancer, and heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease. Most people who are evaluated are determined to be eligible for a kidney transplant. Your doctors and transplant team will work with you to promote wellness, lower your risks and improve your outcome after kidney transplant. A care team member will talk with you about the importance of taking your immunosuppressant (anti-rejection) medications to keep your body from rejecting your kidney.

potato frittata with rosemary and feta.
If I had a million dollars, I think I might, I dunno…
pay off our house…
take a few more vacations…somewhere exotic like St. John Island, Santorini or Portofino…
and keep the fridge stocked with 100% real maple syrup all the freaking time…
BUT one thing I certainly WOULDN'T do, even if I was a fat and happy millionaire, is stop eating breakfast for dinner.
Because the beauty of breakfast foods is that they are so stinkin' versatile and good you can really get away with eating them just about any time of day, this recipe being no exception. Especially when eggs, potatoes and cheese are involved.
Can I get an amen?
Weeelll…this frittata will be on the table in 30 minutes flat, and will cost you less to make than a breakfast burrito at your favorite hole in the wall Saturday morning breakfast joint. We're talking $.67 per serving people!
So whether you're rich or poor, for breakfast, lunch or dinner, promise me you'll give this one a try. I dreamed it up just for you.
Potato Frittata with Rosemary and Feta
(serves 4)
What You'll Need:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 small onion, chopped or sliced thin
1 russet potato, sliced thin
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
salt and pepper
6 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup feta, crumbled
TOTAL: $2.55 or $64 per serving.
Wondering how on earth I arrived at these costs? Take a look at my shopping guide to show see what I pay for items, per serving, etc.
249 calories per serving
15 grams of fat
15 carbs
12 grams protein
1 gram fiber
If you give it a try, have any pics to share, or have a recipe you'd like me to "frugalize" let me know! Find me on Facebook or Twitter.

How I Learned To Stop Peeing 20 Times a Day
Photo: Columbia/Everett Collection
Welcome back to Make It Stop, where we count down the one thing this week that must stop, and in this case that one thing is urine.
When I was a kid, my grandparents took my extended family out for a nice dinner. And before we sat down to eat, I went to go to the bathroom. I always took a piss before sitting down as a preventive measure, so that I wouldn't have to pee during the meal. But ten minutes after we sat down, I had to pee again. And again. And then I had to go again. Family members began to notice and I began to notice them noticing me. Now, kids will always get up during an endless meal with relatives because kids can't drink booze and those meals are fucking boring as a result. By the time I was on my sixth or seventh trip (I lost track), my uncle grabbed my arm and said, "Will you just sit down?" But I couldn't. I had to go.
I shouldn't piss this much. I know it's all in my mind because I've had enough doctors jam enough fingers up my butt to know that my prostate is groovy. And I have had physical therapy sessions that have "cured" my weak bladder (more on that in a moment), only for me to lapse back into bad pissing habits. It's all in my mind. Okay, some of it is in my pelvic floor, but much of it is in my mind. I am thirty-eight years old, and I still try to go weewee before the movie starts so I don't have to go during the best sex scenes. And then I will sit down, think about having to pee again, psych myself out for the first hour of the movie, think about a good time to cut out, run to the john, do my business, and then run back. I will be at a sporting event or a rock concert and worry about having to piss in the middle. This is especially true if the concert is at a club and I don't want to lose my spot in the crowd.
I have had to pee desperately before job interviews, only to have a little bit dribble down out of my khakis jussssst before I gotta go see the bossman, leaving me frantically rubbing my crotch with a paper towel to dry that shit off. I have taken a piss, zipped up, walked out of the bathroom, realized immediately that I did not quite finish the job, and then gone running back in. I have angered fellow airplane passengers by getting up once too often (strangely, I do just fine holding it in when I'm in the car). I have pissed five times before finally falling asleep, with my wife wondering what the fuck is wrong with me. The average guy is supposed to piss four to eight times a day and I usually exceed that quota by multiples. I have a problem. Years of pissing dozens of times a day have left my pelvic floor muscles weak and useless. Like any bad habit, this is getting in the way of me living life as I would like to live it.
Ten years ago, I went to a urologist and got hooked up with something called biofeedback therapy, which is physical therapy for people trying to recover bladder strength. This is usually the kind of therapy sixty-year-old ladies need after getting cancer surgery, but I required it nonetheless. I went to the therapist and she had me pull down my pants. Then she hooked up a bunch of electrodes to the outside of my butthole. Then she jammed a finger inside me and had me do kegel ercises. I was hooked up to a monitor, and the line on the monitor would spike every time I contracted. In the beginning, those spikes were hopelessly limp. I wasn't close to normal. The therapist said, by the time we were done, the spikes would be way higher, and I'd only have to pee a couple times a day, which scared me for some reason. Sounded like it would make me burst with piss.
Anyway, after a few sessions, I got the line to spike higher and higher, until my asshole was a steel wall. The therapist had me do kegels lying down, and standing up, and on a yoga ball. I had to put an elastic band around my knees and open my legs while doing a kegel at the same time, which is a real bitch.
"How long do I have to keep these ercises up?" I asked her.
I didn't like the idea of that, even if I was down to pissing just four or five times a day. So I lapsed. I stopped going to the therapy. I stopped doing ercises, and until last week or so, I was back to being an embarrassment to grown men urinating all across this land. Then, the other night, I must have gotten up four or five times before I realized that I was sick and tired of myself. So I dug up the therapist's old techniques, and have tried to abide by them since. Maybe you're a camel and pissing isn't a problem for you. But if you're a weak fella like me and you need help, here are some basic steps to improve your outlook.
**1. Monitor your fluid intake.**We are a country that encourages a lot of fluid intake: eight glasses of water a day, etc. But there are people like me who go way overboard with it. I'm drinking water all the time, and that's not necessarily a good thing. If you drink too much, you piss too much. This is obvious, but I rarely take note of just how much water I'm drinking during the day, and it often ends up being far more than is necessary.
**2. Keep a piss journal. **Simply marking down every time you piss can be enough to get you to do it less often. Once I saw the true number of times I was going (my journal looked like a prison cell wall marked up by an inmate keeping track of the days), something in my brain flicked on and helped keep my shit in check. A journal also gives you incentive. It feels good to see the number of times you peed go down day by day.
**3. Do pelvic floor muscle ercises.**You don't need a vagina to do kegels. You can strengthen your pelvic floor simply by contracting your muscles down there, as if you're stopping the flow of urine. If you can't quite get the hang of it, here is another trick... (WARNING: this will sound terribly graphic)... try "sucking" in through your butthole, like you're trying to pick up a stick with it. I'm a white guy, so clenching my ass comes naturally to me. You gotta squeeze hard and hold those muscles in place for as long as you can, and then try to hold it longer the next time around. The easiest position to do this is lying down, with your knees up. But as you go, you can do them while standing. You can even do them at the bus stop. No one will know how strong your butthole is.
The real challenge is doing all this consistently, which is a problem when you are lazy and unmotivated and hey, peeing twenty times a day doesn't seem all THAT bad. But it is. I'm tired of spending all my free time standing in front of a stupid toilet, squirting out used beer. I'm gonna fix this, and I'm gonna stop being a slave to my own bladder.
Right after I go piss.

This is how I store my rubber stamps. :)
I stamp the images and then laminate the paper. I'm using Color Copy 200g, but you can use any paper as long as it's heavy enough. (The stamps get quite heavy when you fill the page! )
I put them in binders, which can be easily stored on a shelf above my work space. Easy to reach for when I need them, and easy to flip through the binder to find the right stamp, or just to get inspired! . :)
My laminating machine is a cheap Peach Photo Laminator A4 Silver Line,
bought years ago, but still gets the job done.
Thanks for stopping by!

Ghost Wars stars Avan Jogia, Vincent D'Onofrio, Meat Loaf, Kim Coates and Kandyse McClure. Set in the remote Alaskan town of Port Moore as it is being overrun by paranormal forces, it centers on local outcast Roman Mercer (Jogia), who must overcome the town's prejudices and his own demons if he's to harness his repressed psychic powers and save everyone from the mass haunting threatening to destroy them all.
The footage included plenty of legit-looking blood and boogeymen, and D'Onofrio's preacher is especially notable for a snippet of a sermon that in itself might convert fans to give the series a shot. Creator Simon Barry (Continuum, Van Helsing) is showrunner and executive producing with Chad Oakes and Mike Frislev, Dennis Heaton and David Von Ancken.

There's things to like about this issue and things to feel indifferent about. It's not a bad issue by any means, but it definitely comes across as a stumble after the last story arc. On the plus side of things, Ninjak is in the issue and Robert Venditti writes a strong characterization for him. Ninjak "The Prick" is one of the best things about the new Valiant Universe. The "Kill List" storyline is about an actual kill list. We're introduced to it in an awkward way when a leading geneticist is set to give a big speech and his phone is hacked and chimes in front of the crowd. A threatening message is placed on the screen and then it explodes. We then see X-O and Ninjak standing together in the rafters.
It's strange because this isn't that thrilling, but rather confusing. It makes the two leads come across as cold, calculated killers and that's not the wrong sentiment to have about them. Leading you to wonder why they're presenting it as if we've got the wrong idea about what they're there to do?
The issue then backtracks which is story device I hate. Especially with how soft the opening was, it doesn't make much sense to lead with that and go back to the past and show the reader what made these two climb the rafters and no it wasn't so they could zip-line to the ring and deliver some well-timed lariats. The gist is that a "good" Planting has a list of "bad" Plantings and X-O and Ninjak are going to kill them to get to Commander Trill.
What's bold is the fact that these two are going to un-apologetically kill these Plantings. The last time that was done was during Marvel's Siege. But here we have two heroes doing the deed. It adds an interesting layer to X-O for sure. It's a plus and a negative at the end of the day, but we'll see how it plays out.
The pacing is choppy and the issue checks in with too many random characters. We're introduced to a new team of knock-off X-O's and the entire opening takes a lot longer than it should. On the plus side is X-O and Ninjak's interaction. Particularly when X-O won't look away from Ninjak because of the events in Book of Death in which it was revealed that Ninjak had devised a contingency plan to kill X-O. There's also a scene between a Visgoth and Vine child, that while unnecessary, was quite good.
The art is okay. Robert Gill's art looks off this time around. X-O's helmet looks skin tight at times and his frame is boxy and weird. Also the gold part of his suit looks like more like the muscle structure of the Visible Man. I struggle to describe the inconsistencies with the faces. Several times the characters look bored or confused as to what they're doing. The action is the shining grace, it's very dynamic and a presentation fitting of the series.
The scale really tips back and forth for me on this issue. I liked it, but it definitely has some problems. They're small, but they add up. Pacing here, weird story elements there. In the end it's an enjoyable issue if you've been reading the series, but really it's almost to issue 50 so if you're reading it you'll likely to continue reading it no matter what. Don't worry, it's worth reading. There could be some interesting things to come from this and at the very least it tells me that our heroes are a bit more "anti" than I gave them credit for. If you're just starting X-O Manowar with this issue, it's going to be a little rough, but not impossible to follow. Otherwise, keep reading.
Score: 3/5

The Fruit Of The Spirit "Love" Series
Contributed by Sean Harder on Dec 4, 2009 (message contributor)
Summary: Love is the preeminent fruit of the Spirit. Without it there are no others.
The entire Bible is a love story. Not like a Harlequin romance, thankfully for us guys. We get to read about war, fishing and death too. But from the creation of the world, through love, for the protection of the Israelites because of love, to the sending of a Saviour out of love, for Jesus sacrifice in love, this is a book that is trying to send us a simple but powerful message. Love God and love each other as He loves us. The greatest commandment.
If you get nothing else out of the Bible and what it means to be a Christian, it needs to be this. But the word love gets thrown around so much that in many ways we have lost its meaning. Fortunately the Bible helps us get it back. We're talking here about "Agape" love which is a divine affection, as opposed to "Phileo" which is more a friendship type of love and "Eros", which is a romantic, or sensual love.
Love as a fruit of the Spirit is a verb. It's not a feeling, and much like faith, if only expressed in words it's essentially meaningless. Though we like to hear the words "I love you" they mean nothing if not accompanied by loving action, in fact many abused children have a very distorted view of love when their abuse was committed under the words of love.
Jesus says this is the fruit, not fruits, of the Spirit. So though we will deal with each one separately, all of them are the fruit. I will suggest that when you read this passage, if only love was mentioned, it would be enough. "The fruit of the Spirit is love". So if you're here today you don't have to come to any other sermons in this series, have a good summer.
So as we look at this Agape love, the first thing I would like to show you is that this kind of:
I. Love is Sacred (1Jn 4:7-8, 16)
1Jn 4: 7Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. … 16So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
Here we have the abiding theme again from last week. Maybe this simplifies the idea of abiding if we see it as abiding in love because God is love. Love is from God, we don't have this kind of love if we don't know God and have his Spirit in us. If we are abiding in love, keeping it always in the forefront of all our interactions and choices, we are abiding in God.
We often wonder as Christians, "What about those people who seem so much more loving than even most Christians, but do not believe in Jesus or Christianity?" That's a good question and I don't have an answer for it. Perhaps because God chooses us he can abide in us and love through us without us abiding in him. God wants us to believe and abide in him, but certainly He would not require us to believe in Him to be able to use us to love others.
We also have to realize the context of these words about love. They are to believers, and mostly to Corinthian believers who were being anything but loving, and the point of this is for them to get back to Christ and love as He loved. Notice also that nowhere in this text by John does it talk about believing in Jesus. It says whoever loves is born of God and knows God. It seems to me that this would be possible without necessarily believing in Jesus.
So really this message is to let Christians know that if they are not loving, they are not in God, they do not know God, they are not allowing His nature to abide in them, even if they profess belief in Jesus Christ.
II. Love is Selfless (Php 2:1-3, Eph 3:18-19)
Php 2:1-3: So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
Eph 3: that you being rooted in love 18may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

This along with a John Cena heel turn is alledgedly going to be happening around Wrestlemania 27, so if true how would you book it?
Raw before Elimination Chamber (where both would be in same match): Have the pair of them tag together as a team and win.
Elimination Chamber: Have Cena "accidentially" take out The Undertaker so he gets eliminated by someone else. Maybe an FU with something in his eyes so he didn't know it was Taker (or so he says) and was working on instinct.
Raw/Smackdown Leading To WM27: The Undertaker being the clever veteran he is knows full well Cena eliminated him on purpose with a sneak attack and wants to face him at Wrestlemania. Cena says no to the match, which will get boos from the crowd who want to see it. He says he respect The Undertaker, thought he was eliminating someone else, was acting on instinct through being blinded, and respects The Undertaker too much to face him. Eventually a few weeks later Cena changes his mind saying it would be a good sporting contest between two crowd favourites etc.
Wrestlemania 27: The Undertaker wins a back and forth 25 minute contest where both go out of their comfort zone doing moves and risk they don't usually. Obviously finishers like tombstone, last ride, AA, and STF will not finish the contest off first time of asking. Cena loses after say a tombstone he kicks out of, last ride he kicks out of, followed by another tombstone which pins him.
Cena eventually gets up as Taker celebrates and they shake hands before Cena leaves the ring. The lights get dimmed and as Taker does his one knee pose in the centre of the ring, John sneaks back in to attack him from behind and lay him out. Have him rip up one of his chain gang t shirts and leave it in the ring. Make it the last match so the lasting image of the event is Cena standing tall with an evil grin on his face over the top of the laid out Phenom. An heel turn during the show (like Tatanka against Lex Luger Summerslam 94) would forever be remembered over him turning on a random free television show like Raw a few weeks previous.
Raw After WM27: No Undertaker because he's injured, have Cena sat in the centre of the ring with a spotlight on him Batista style cut a 15-20 minute uninterupted promo explaining his actions such as.......
1) The Undertaker keeps coming back from time out of the ring while I bust my gut working without hardly ever having a day off and i'm sick of this veteran being around.
2) You the fans don't appreciate alll I have done for you, so now it's all about me.
3) I've made my money off you sheep buying my merchandise and hanging off my every word, so now i'm leaving you behind.

I like that idea admin, well met. The only thing is, it should not be the last match. Particularly if we are getting a heavyweight unification match at Mania. Broken down Taker defending his streak should not be the main event at Mania.

I would accept everything you said Adders apart from Taker winning.
Cena needs to end the streak for maximum heelishness goddamit, and I wont stop campaigning until he does.

I think the irony of a Cena heel turn is that once he turns the fans will start cheering him again. The idea of a heel Cena using a Hollywood Rock style character sounds like pure entertainment to me and would make me want to watch the guy.
The turn itself would be easy, Cena just has to tell the fans to go to hell for booing him even though he worked his ass off trying to please them, he could even say how he is sick of being a puppet for WWE management and he no longer wants to be the poster boy, from now on its just all about John Cena.
I like Admin's booking ideas, but as Billy said I wouldnt have the match last as it doesn't warrant that spot, second to last is fine. I would possibly also have Cena go full blown heel on Taker prior to Mania, maybe just 2-3 weeks before the match, up untill that point have both men continue as faces with a slow burning heel turn for Cena happening.

Have the Raw Elimination Chamber match before Smackdown's, Cena loses it thus no chance of competing at Wrestlemania, then during the Smackdown one he somehow gets in and costs Undertaker the win, then on Raw, have Cena come out and declare why he did it, have him say he did it not for the fans but for himself, have him tell the fans they can go stick it like the Undertaker.... Lights go out, Taker appears, Cena rolls out of the ring and ushers something like "Not now", then on Smackdown have Cena use Taker's entrance music, etc. and have Cena come out dressed as Undertaker, mocking him on the show, then have Cena run down Undertaker, have Cena run down all the legends or wrestlers Taker has defeated at Wrestlemania saying NONE of them were good enough, and have Cena challenge Taker to a match at 'Mania, have Taker accept and then yeah Cena plays some mind games on Taker, etc. and BOOM! I'm sure Cena running down guys like HBK, Flair, Triple H, Orton would get him some heel heat.

I would like to see this match built up over more time, not just thrown together in the aftermath of elimination chamber. It can't just be the company's top faces having a clash for the hell of it.
Royal Rumble 2011. Both Taker and Cena are in the rumble, seen as the Royal Rumble PPV is a rare occurance where title matches won't be main eventing and frankly neither of the two need the belt. They refrain from attacking eachother for much of the match, Taker would have entered early on at number 8, with Cena entering later on around number 20. They have stare downs, but opt to beat on the heels instead. It comes down to three people; Cena, Taker and Miz. Cena and Miz then ally to beat on an exhausted Taker, provoking boo's from the crowd. Taker fights them off eventually, eliminating Miz but then Cena hits Taker with the urn, and eliminates him. This sets the seeds for a turn.
In the aftermath, Taker isn't seen for a while and Cena continues to do his thing. A fuss is made over Taker's streak as WM approaches, and he is without an opponent. Taker talks of what happened at the rumble, and how he desires to face John Cena, and prove that he is indestructable on the grandest stage of them all. Cena proceeds to generally laugh this off when it is mentioned to him in interviews or by other face superstars. He says he will give his answer to the challenge when the time is right. At the elmination chamber, Taker is in the final two and getting the better of his opponent. Cena then appears on the stage, saying how he accepts the challenge, and that come WM Taker won't be able to see him. Taker's eyes are locked on Cena when is rolled up for the pin.
Please not, Cena is not booked as a heel yet, the turn itself comes at WM. Taker plays his mind games, Cena cuts his promos post EC and the crowd is generally WTF as to who to root for. Before the match at WM cena is in the ring. He then cuts a promo, which has to be no less than awesome, ridiculing Taker's previous WM opponents, especially Shawn. He says how he is a cut above the rest, has been carrying this company for years and will have to problem disposing of an aging superstar that should have retired years ago, evoking boo's. A great match is put on, going back and forth, and Cena of course wins by heelish means. After Nexus interference, he wins by Levelling Taker with his urn. He proceeds to burn the urn, a hurst comes out (driven by Nexus who Cena has eventually joined yet not sided with until now) and taker is placed inside a casket before being wheeled in by Nexus members. Wade and Cena stand side by side in the ring, Nexus members take the ring posts.
Essentially I want Cena to eventually turn heel and side with nexus at WM 27, defeating Taker with their help to secure maximum heat and be huge in the WWE.

Undertaker is appearing next week on Smackdown, which is the brand of Cena so is it too much to ask that this time they FINALLY work something in time for Wrestlemania 33?
It doesn't even need bad blood. Have Taker come out and say he wants Cena at Mania as he's never had a big time match with him. You can save Cena's response for the week after.
Taker has been broken down for years and Cena is heading the same way and not seen much anymore. Time is running out to stop this being added to the likes of HBK/Rock as a massive storyline fued that never happened.

It appears Undertaker vs. John Cena for WrestleMania 34 is going to go ahead according to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Radiolast night. Cena's line that WrestleMania can "bring a legend back from the dead" is an obvious reference to this match, which likely is going to be set up once Elimination Chamber wraps up.
I'm sure it will be a decent match and all but I do not want to see Taker come back when he has pretty much retired as I can't see any other reason why he broke character last year and I don't want to see him lose again the fact that he has now lost twice at mania is a travesty in its own right to lose a third time the fans will be rioting big time.

Aye, if this match happens Taker better win.
What Paul Heyman once said on Raw is right about the smaller number becoming the bigger number. A win or a loss at WrestleMania is magnified a lot more than a win or a loss anyplace else to begin with. But the fact that the WWE has harped on the streak for years makes Taker's WrestleMania losses all that more noticeable. Taker has lost enough at WrestleMania.

Really The Undertaker should have retired undefeated at Wrestlemania but that ship has sailed, at least Roman Reigns' victory did something to elevate the status of Roman, I still think Brock beating Taker really achieved very little except give a slap in the face to all the hard working talent who could have benefited from that win and had to watch a part time guy who doesn't really care about WWE be the one to end the streak.
But yeah Undertaker needs to beat Cena, at least then he can end his legendary career on a high note.
I don't have a problem with this match, Taker suggested retirement after his loss to Roman but it was never confirmed, fans have wanted this match for years so it will be a fitting way to round off his career.

Guaranteed Student Loans: Eliminating Interest Rate Floors Could Generate Substantial Savings. Report to the Honorable George D. Mitchell, U.S. Senate.
Guaranteed Student Loans: Eliminating Interest Rate Floors Could Generate Substantial Savings. Report to the Honorable George D. Mitchell, U.S. Senate. - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
A study was done of how interest rate floors on certain guaranteed student loans affect the federal government's and students' costs when rates on short-term government securities decline. The study developed cost comparisons using fixed and variable loan interest rates. For comparison Department of Education projections of loan volumes for fiscal year 1992-97 were used. The results indicated that establishing a variable interest rate structure for guaranteed student loans, while retaining the current caps, could save the federal government and student borrowers several hundred million dollars in future interest payments. Recent declines in the Treasury bill yields have caused interest rates to fall on certain kinds of loans under the Stafford Student Loan Program but not on others. Of the loans in the Stafford Student Loan Program, Stafford and consolidation loans have interest rate floors that prevent borrowers and the government from benefiting when Treasury Bill yields drop. If the loan programs that now have interest rate floors were to have variable interest rates, the federal government and student borrowers could pay in fiscal year 1992 about $100 million and $143 million less in interest payments respectively. Included are two figures and two appendixes (JB)

I am overjoyed. I finally found a scrap of paper amongst my many other scraps of paper which explains a series of photos I have been hanging onto for years - 28 years to be precise.
On Saturday, 11 March 1987, we headed off early to Douglas Park on the main south line - it lies between Campbelltown and Picton. We just pulled up on the side of the freeway, as the line parallels the road for about five kilometres. In those days one could just pull off the freeway for a couple of hours without getting the attention of the authorities.
The special part about these photos is that I didn't for once use a telephoto lens so the photos aren't a series of trains looking like sliced loaves of bread. What we got that morning was just the then usual parade of local, intrastate and interstate services, stretched out against the background.
Anyway, enough prose. Instead of putting a rose-coloured commentary to that morning, I am just going to reproduce the notes I took that day along with the photos (apart from the bracketed comments).
7:15am 44 and five cars up service (No photo of this one - dunno what happened here!)
7:20am G518 up containers (looks like this was the last photo on the reel from the discoloration on the right hand side of the print)
7:25am 8156/G up containers (couldn't resist a close up)
7:47am Double 81s – up Sydney Express (this is worth snaps of each end of the train)
8:16am 4468 up passenger ex Picton (another close up)
8:26am Double 81s and 38 wheaties (another bloody close up)
8:35am Down 7 car DEB set on the Canberra Monaro
8:45am 42201 Down Intercapital Daylight Express (five cars and Spirit dining car)
8:50am 44/4481 up wheaty (worth two shots for the close up of the first 44)
9:35am 42204 Two FGs, BN and MFH on a Goulburn passenger
9:45am 42208 in reverse Indian Red on a five car interurban set
10:25am Up Canberra XPT
And that was it - 12 trains in 3 hours; a typical Saturday morning 28 years ago.
Ciao for now!

Passion Pit: Manners
- Camilla Pia
- 28 May 2009
No need to rely on the erratic Scottish sunshine with Passion Pit around. The Massachusetts fivesome evoke dreamy summer days with this heavily-anticipated debut offering, which turns out to be everything the hype had us hoping for and more.
A glorious mix of squelchy synths, elastic basslines, shimmering electronics, scratchy riffs and soaring falsetto vocals, Manners is packed to bursting with playful melodies that stick in your head from first listen. But it's the ethereal production that really makes this record a masterclass in sonic innovation and a must-hear for fans of The Flaming Lips, MGMT, Empire of the Sun and, oh heck, all music lovers in general.

There is a tragic backdrop to this year's race, with an international search effort still ongoing to find any trace of the plane which went missing after departing Kuala Lumpur International Airport on March 8, which is now thought to have crashed in the Indian Ocean. There were 239 people on board.
Though the Malaysian Grand Prix is one of the high points of the country's sporting calendar, this year preparations have been significantly toned down, with a planned Christina Aguilera and Rain concert cancelled. All of the drivers and teams are expected to run messages of support fo Mercedes will have #PrayforMH370 on their sidepod this weekend."

By Geeta Vemuri, PhD, MBA, Managing Partner, Baxalta Ventures
The healthcare industry has recently seen an unprecedented wave of consolidation, with major attempts at combining (Pfizer/AstraZeneca and AbbVie/Shire) and asset swaps in the last few years. This trend has resulted in opportunities for corporate venture capital, or CVC.
The M&A activity reflects various dynamics. In the Pharma/Biotech sector, for example, such M&A chiefly reflects the need for break-through pipeline products as R&D innovation lags, as well as interest in quickly diversifying therapeutic pipelines through acquisition. Other drivers range from the current low interest-rate environment to the desire to improve pricing power. This is true for the healthcare insurance field especially, the Aetna bid for Humana and Anthem's bid for Cigna underscore that strategy.
For CVC, this provides opportunities that could generate a stronger balance sheet to invest from or a broader base of product opportunity to invest in. In Baxalta's case, as we look ahead to the integration with Shire, for Baxalta Ventures the therapeutic interests could expand from the current focus areas of Hematology, Immunology and Oncology to include CNS disease, Ophthalmology and Gastroenterology.
In the short run, however, uncertainty can creep in as decisions for follow-on investments and new financing may be delayed due to integration activities and a change of guards at C-level Investment Committees.
Exciting scientific advances persist at an unprecedented pace
The last two years recorded a marked increase in innovative drug approvals and launches that could have blockbuster potential. These include products that cure – not just treat or manage – Hepatitis C, along with five game-changing therapies that could redefine the following therapeutic categories:
- Opdivo® (nivolumab), a skin cancer drug from Bristol-Myers Squibb received the first approval for immunological therapy.
- Ibrance® (palbociclib), a novel drug to treat advanced breast cancer from Pfizer.
- Novel cholesterol-lowering drugs from Amgen and Sanofi/Regeneron (PCSK9 inhibitors).
- Cosentyx® (secukinumab), a first-of-its-kind treatment for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis from Novartis.
- Entresto® (sacubitril/valsartan), a ground-breaking treatment from Novartis for adult patients with symptomatic chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
Other therapeutic classes that will accumulate clinical data over the next several years include CAR-T cancer therapies and gene therapies for conditions such as hemophilia.
At one point or another, most of these innovative drugs were developed at a biotech company funded by venture capital, and chances are that CVC participated in their financing. These drugs, of course, must prove themselves by delivering strong outcomes for patients and value for payers. This will stimulate further support/investment from the CEOs of Pharma/Biotech and their directors.
CVCs are spinning out technologies and forming companies
Corporate Venture Capital groups are adopting fresh ways to work with innovators and entrepreneurs. Baxalta, for instance, not only has invested in startups right out of academia, but also begun a novel accelerator/incubator with Mayo Clinic and Presidio Partners (a VC group) to form project-focused companies (PFCs).
Other healthcare companies have also put significant resources behind incubators/accelerators. These models vary from soup-to-nuts supporting the entrepreneur – from providing facilities such as lab space, technical support and seed funding, to simply providing facilities such as lab space and meeting rooms. Some of these models are public-private partnerships and geographically-focused incubators; for example Johnson & Johnson (J&J) has been active in the last several years establishing biotech incubators in a group of U.S. and outside U.S. hubs, including San Francisco, Boston and San Diego, and in Toronto. Johnson & Johnson Innovation has provided valuable technology to startups and has backed some of them and set up development collaborations that can help accelerate their growth.[1]
In addition, Merck Serono is expanding its investment in early-stage biomedical companies through its Israel Bioincubator. Three companies have joined the incubator and it has room for as many as five more.[2] Other pharma that have such efforts include – Celgene & Eli Lilly joining to invest $100m in biotech fund in New York. Bayer & Roche are supporting California Institute of Quantitative Biosciences and venture capital firm Mission Bay Capital.
In conclusion, Pharma and Biotech have recognized that innovation needs to be nurtured and supported inside and outside their walls and consequently they are investing massive amounts of capital in this ecosystem through direct investments in companies, supporting general partners as limited partner investors – Baxalta, and previously as a part our former parent, Baxter, has committed funding for four venture groups over the last few years, and if we tallied total pharma/biotech commitment as limited partners, the number can reach more than a billion dollars. Bottom line, there is money and deep resources available; and CVC is looking for solid ideas that improve patient's lives not incrementally but dramatically.

'waste o' time' really is a fucking great wee tune. as dirty sounding as your dads phone calls at night and the pace of your mother on her way to this scissor drawer. raw bluesy rock and or roll. they seemed to be really into a wee bit of jazz on their record sleeves as well. which ive actually showen quite well in them photies above and for your downloading daftness. im running out of nice words to be honest and can feel a sudden sharp need to be negative. just a normal urge and nothing really to do with this record. so id better go and spare you all the unnecessary unpoliteness. in fact ill go to the corner shop and pay for the same snus packet 3 times again. that should get the ball rolling. 1.2.3 K.G.B..!!

What Is the Difference Between American and European Blackjack?
There are several versions of blackjack, the most popular being European and American. In general, the rules for both are similar; but there are several slight differences that may affect how you think about the game. It is therefore important to be aware of these differences in order to play your best.
- American blackjack makes use of what is called a 'hole card,' which the dealer places face down on the table at the very beginning of the game. In European blackjack, by contrast, the dealer puts places one card face up on the table when the game starts, and only after all the players receive their cards does the dealer receive a second card.
- European blackjack requires 2 decks of cards, while American blackjack uses from 6 to 8.
- In American blackjack, you can double down and win on any value. In the European game, you can only double down when you have cards valued at 9, 10, or 11.
- Also in American blackjack, you can split a hand three times regardless of the value of your cards. In European blackjack, it is possible to split a hand only once, and only with kings, queens, jacks, and 10s.
- There are specific tactics and strategies for each type of game. American blackjack allows for a more aggressive kind of play, since there are no limitations concerning doubling down. In the European game, players focus more on the various rules.
These differences may not seem very significant, but awareness of them can help you to choose the proper strategy and tactics to improve your odds. To sum up, the rules of American blackjack are in general less strict and more flexible than those of European blackjack.

|Stomper / Saif
| 1 seat:
|Item capacity
| Max: 1000 mass
|Top speed
|46 km/h
|Fuel capacity
|Primary armament
| Armed only:
|Secondary armament
|UGV Stomper, UGV Stomper RCWS, UGV Saif, UGV Saif RCWS, UGV (IDAP)
The UGV Stomper / UGV Saif serves as the primary Unmanned Ground Vehicle/Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicle platform that is used by NATO, CSAT, and the AAF in ArmA 3.
A civilian variant also exists and is simply known as the UGV, where it is used in limited numbers by IDAP aid workers. It was added with the release of the Laws of War DLC.
- Roles:
- Munitions transport
- Fire support
- Cargo transport
| The Stomper is a remote controlled unmanned ground combat vehicle designed for reconnaissance, surveillance and support. It's able to operate autonomously in large areas, while sending real-time data to the control center. Each wheel is powered by a separate electric engine, whose batteries are linked together to a diesel engine power unit. In tight situations, Stompers can be operated by a built-in manual control. An armed variant of the Stomper is fitted with a RCWS turret carrying a 40mm GMG and 12.7mm HMG. An OPFOR variant, designated Saif and Saif RCWS, is a cheaper and less reliable copy from the Asian region.
Field Manual
The Stomper is a 6x6 unmanned ground vehicle that can autonomously move and engage enemy targets on its own accord without requiring manual input from the operator.
It is available in two variants; an unarmed version that has no weapons mounted on it that is meant to be used for transporting supplies and cargo, and an armed version that is fitted with an RCWS turret armed with a dual-mount 12.7 mm heavy machine gun and 40 mm automatic grenade launcher.
Moderately armoured and well-protected (to a certain degree) against small arms fire and explosives, the Stomper makes for a unique force multiplier when deployed alongside other ground units.
Nonetheless, excessive amounts of gunfire and large explosives can easily immobilise (if not outright destroy) the Stomper if the operator carelessly sends it against threats it cannot handle.
Therefore it is best used as a mobile sentry drone to guard areas, as a support asset to escort motorised infantry squads, or be used in a reconnaissance role to scout ahead for friendly forces as opposed to being apart of frontal assaults.
Stompers are too heavy to be airlifted via slingloading with helicopters, but can still be transported internally with V-44X vehicle transports.
Crew Capacity
All variants have a single seat located at the front of the chassis that can transport up to one passenger (usually the drone operator themselves).
Baseline variant. It is more or less designed to be a munitions/supply carrier, being completely unarmed and otherwise lacking any other use in combat.
Identical to the NATO UGV Stomper variant.
Armed version of the unarmed Stomper/Saif.
Unlike the baseline version, these variants are armed with an RCWS turret that is fitted with a dual-mount 12.7 mm heavy machine gun and 40 mm automatic grenade launcher.
The externally mounted RCWS comes pre-loaded with a single 500 round belt of 12.7 mm ammunition, and has another spare 500 round belt in reserve.
It is also fed by a single 200 round belt of 40 mm high-explosive (HE) grenades.
Identical to the NATO UGV Stomper RCWS variant.
Visually and functionally identical to the baseline variant.
This specific variant is only utilised by the IDAP, and does not accept any other camouflage options.
All faction variants have access to the same camouflage options:
- Olive: Standard pattern-less olive drab green paint scheme used by all NATO ground vehicles and certain aircraft. This can be universally employed in all types of terrain, but is more suited to arid and forested environments.
- Hex: Arid Hexacam camouflage pattern. Useful for forested, grass plains, and desert environments.
- Green Hex: Tropical Hexacam pattern camouflage. This is used in heavily forested and tropic environments.
- Digital Green: Digitised semi-fractal camouflage pattern used by all AAF vehicles and aircraft. Suited to forested and grassy environments, but otherwise useless in arid and desert terrain.
- IDAP: Flat white paint scheme with additional livery in the form of IDAP logos and signage. This paint scheme can only be applied to the unarmed variant of the Stomper and IDAP's variant of the Stomper.
- The Stomper is based on the real-world "Crusher" UGCV designed by researchers at the Carnegie Mellon University's National Robotics Engineering Center for DARPA.
- Despite the Field Manual mentioning that the CSAT Saif is meant to be less effective compared to its NATO counterpart, there is no difference in terms of performance or armament between the two aside from using different camouflage schemes.
- A billboard in the IDAP showcase mentions that the civilian UGV is manufactured by an Armaverse company named Vantland Industries.
- However, it's not known whether the military version is also a product of Vantland as well, or is developed altogether by a seperate company.
- Both the Stomper and Saif are currently the only ground-based drones of their kind that can be used in ArmA 3. It is also the first UGV in the entire series.

I was determined to complete the job of putting the chicken wire up before the weekend drew to a close. So on Sunday morning, despite ominous clouds covering the sky, I headed straight to the allotment after we finished breakfast.
I got straight to the job at hand. As Clare had dug quite a bit of the trench on Saturday, it wasn't as difficult as it might have been. I soon had my routine going - roll the chicken wire out to the next post, ensure that it was fairly correctly "in place", from the bottom of the trench to the bull wire. I then cable-tied the chicken wire to the bull wire, clipped the excess off the cable ties (to make it look presentable), and finally back filled the earth in the trench. When I got to a post, I'd tack the chicken wire to it. This helped strengthen the wire and guaranteed it remained taut. Eventually, I had to dig more trench. I did this in two stages, more to keep variety to the job than for anything else. By lunchtime, I had almost finished the entire allotment. All that remained was tacking the chicken wire onto the fence adjacent to the gate.
After getting some jobs done at home, I went back to the allotment, and finished off the chicken wire. The most awkward job was cutting off remaining chicken wire, as my wire cutters weren't up to much. That finally done, I had completed the enclosing of the allotment. Worrying about rabbits destroying crops is now (hopefully) a thing of the past.
I'll admit I felt no small sense of satisfaction having finished the job. Not only is it practical, it lends the allotment a far more aesthetically pleasing look.
The top corner of the allotment.
Yesterday (Monday) morning, Clare headed over soon after breakfast, and prepared more beds. When she had done this, she sowed carrot, parsnip and garlic into them. The beds for the carrots and parsnips took a little more work, as these vegetables hate stones in the soil (which split the roots when they hit them).
After a couple of hours, she came home and I went over. However, the weather took a turn for the worse, and it started raining quite heavily. Not much I could do about that, so I went home for a cup of hot chocolate.
I was in work on the night shift last night, so needed a few hours in bed this morning before going over to the allotment. A month's rain has been forecast in the next thirty-six hours, so we were anxious to get as much done as possible before this deluge began. As it turns out however, the weather gods smiled on us, and it turn out to be a fantastic evening.
Clare went over first to space out where we will plant asparagus, which needs a good amount of space. I looked after the kids, and went over when she got home.
My job for today was to dig out the central, semi-permanent path that all our beds will be attached to. Maybe I'm just gone used to the manual labour, but I didn't find this job difficult, and had most of the path complete within an hour. I then dug out another "mini" path between beds.
Clare came over with the kids, and started preparing the double bed that the swedes and beetroot will most likely be planted in. Thomas brought a toy JCB digger and pottered about as we worked. Isabelle slept for most of her time there.
One anecdote for remembering in the future: just before we were preparing to go home, Thomas was enjoying himself splashing in some puddles. Getting adventurous, he ran around the corner of a stable in search of deeper pools, which took him out of my line of vision. Suddenly a horse winnyed loudly, and gave Thomas such a scare that he rocketed around the corner and into my arms like a streak of lightening!
At this point, the biggest jobs are behind us, and every half hour that we're able to put into the allotment will give visible results.
The allotment as it looked this evening.

SRINAGAR: A verbal brawl between a police officer and a doctor was caught on camera inside a trauma hospital in Qazigund area of south Kashmir's Kulgam district.
The video of the incident went viral on various social media sites which prompted the J&K police to attach Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP).
The DySP, Sahil Mahajan, who is still on probation in Qazigund town, was seen threatening the on-duty doctor, Naseer Tak and misbehaving with him.
"We have taken a suo-moto cognizance of the viral video and attached the accused officer with the office of DIG Anantnag," Inspector General of Police, Munir Ahmad Khan told Kashmir Reader.
He said the departmental inquiry had also been ordered in the incident to bring the facts and events to fore.
"We immediately ordered the Departmental Inquiry into the incident after its video went viral," Khan said.
Police also issued a statement about the incident and expressed regret for the action of its officer.
"In reference to the Qazigund incident, we regret it and at the same time assure that necessary action shall be taken into the matter," said an official statement.
Dr Suhail Naik, President Doctors Association Kashmir (DAK) accused the DSP of misbehavior and threatening the on-duty doctor of implicating him in false cases when the doctor refused to sign a paper.
He said the DSP stormed into the Trauma hospital at late last night and tried to force Dr Naseer Tak to sign a medico-legal form of an accident case which had taken place in May 2017.
"The police officer used rude language with the doctor and threatened him of implicating in false rape cases. The doctor was not at fault as there was no provocation from him. He only refused to sign a paper about a medico-legal accident case. He would have cooperated with the police officer but he was not aware of the factual position about the accident which involves District Hospital, Anantnag and SKIMS Soura," Dr Naik said.
According to him, the negative response from the doctor infuriated the DSP and started "misbehaving" with the doctor.
"The officer even threatened the doctor to pump bullets into his body and implicate him in false rape cases," the DAK president said.
An amalgam of doctors, J&K Doctors Coordination Committee (JKDCC) today held a sit-in protest in Lal Chowk and condemned the Qazigund incident.
It hailed the prompt action by the police in this incident and demanded that the government should bring a legislation to make an assault on doctors, paramedics and damage to hospital property a "non-bailable offense.
"We demand the introduction of a bill in the upcoming session of J&K assembly to make an assault on doctors, paramedics during duty hours and damage to hospitals a non-bailable offense like that of 21 states of India," convener JKDCC Dr M Yousuf Tak said.
