Things To Do
'The East' (PG)
The East, the latest collaboration between director Zal Batmanglij and actress/screenwriter Brit Marling, suffers from the same problem as their previous picture, Sound of My Voice: It's taut, compelling, unpredictable and completely wipes out in the final few minutes.
Their subject last time was a cult leader who claimed to be from the future and whose following started to grow. This time, the filmmakers choose a grittier subject: A group of eco-terrorists who live off the land in a sort of hippie commune and want to wreak revenge on companies who are destroying the environment and polluting the earth. The group isn't necessarily violent — they break into the home of an oil company CEO and fill his house with sludge — but there is always a sense of danger pending, a vibe that a mission could end badly.
Marling, an actress who radiates a compelling, hypnotic calm — you always know there's more to her than you see at first — plays Sarah, an agent for an intelligence firm who is assigned to infiltrate the group and discover what their next big demonstration is. Some of the group's members, such as Izzy (Ellen Page), dislike her immediately and don't trust her. Others, such as the group's magnetic leader Benji (Alexander Skarsgard), are more intrigued. Benji is always looking to recruit more members into the fold and prides himself on his ability to judge character.
Although the premise is a bit far-fetched, The East has some sequences of sustained suspense, such as the group's elaborate ploy to invade a pharmaceutical company's shindig and inject their own toxic meds into everyone's champagne. As the stakes rise and a death occurs, the movie becomes increasingly gripping. But in the final five minutes, the story takes a disappointing turn that, while not as frustrating as the finale of Sound of My Voice, still doesn't live up to what has come before. I hope Batmanglij and Marling collaborate again in the future — they keep getting so close to a home run — but in the end, The East goes south.

So I still have chestnuts in my freezer. Only a few now. A few weeks back I was gifted a giant box filled with chestnuts. I roasted them, made a soft, delicious, morbid (haha) cake, and I still had more than a few chillin' (literally) in my freezer. It's a cool, blustery, leaf-blowing day today so I decided to make some soup for dinner.
Thankfully, I already had most of the ingredients for this soup on-hand. I'm aware that most people don't keep random shitake mushrooms on-hand. But alas, I had some dried ones in my cupboard. I don't remember what they were originally intended to be used for. This soup was quick & easy. The thing that took the longest was that I didn't have any vegetable stock, or chicken stock either for that matter on-hand. I know, random shitakes, no stock. So I had to crank out a quick one.
Creamy, Earthy, Chestnut Soup
4-6 servings
- about 2 tbsp EVOO
- 1 stalk celery, chopped small
- 1 carrot, chopped small
- 1/2 a small white onion, chopped to the same size as celery & carrot
- 1 clove garlic, minced (I used Black Garlic for an extra earthy note.)
- 1 oz package dehydrated shitake mushrooms
- 1/4 C dry white wine or sherry
- 2 C chestnuts, roasted & shelled (directions for roasting here)
- 1/4 tsp grated nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 6 C vegetable stock or broth
- 1 1/2 C half & half
- Kosher salt & black pepper to taste
- First, you will need to rehydrate your mushrooms. Here's how: Put your dehydrated mushrooms in a glass bowl or large, glass measuring cup. Heat some water to boiling; you will need enough water to completely cover the mushrooms. I like to use my electric kettle. When the water is hot, pour it over the mushrooms making sure to cover them thoroughly. If any begin to float, put them down using a wooden spoon. Let the mushrooms soak for about 15-20 mins or until soft. Drain the mushrooms and reserve the soaking liquid for flavoring future soups, sauces, etc.
- When the mushrooms are rehydrated, chop them to roughly the same size as the carrots, celery, and onion. It doesn't need to be perfect, since you will be pureeing the soup later.
- Heat EVOO in a large Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Saute for 2-3 mins until the onion begins to become translucent. Add the mushrooms, and saute another 3-5 mins until mixture has softened.
- Pour in the wine/sherry, chestnuts, and spices. Combine well.
- Add the stock/broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, covered, 20-30 mins or until the chestnuts have softened.
- Using an immersion blender, puree until smooth. Always use caution when pureeing/blending hot liquids, as they can splatter.
- Pour in the half & half. Heat over low heat, while stirring until hot.
- Season to taste with Kosher salt & black pepper.
- Enjoy with crusty bread for dipping!

Mark Levinson No.383 integrated amplifier Page 3
The No.383's back panel features five analog input pairs, for use with sources single-ended (three pairs of Madrigal-designed RCA inputs) or balanced (two pairs of Swiss-made XLR inputs). The No.383's rear handles protect the interconnect cables if the unit is upended onto its rear panel. All the sockets mount directly to the printed-circuit board (PCB), and inputs are independently buffered. Unselected inputs have their ground connections lifted, eliminating a path by which noise might enter the chassis. All single-ended signals are converted to balanced at the input and remain balanced up to the final current stage. A separately buffered, single-ended record output monitors the selected source. This fixed-level output can be switched off.
Four types of control ports give the No.383 many options. There is one 3.5mm mini-jack for an external infrared receiver module if the unit is placed in a cabinet. DC trigger voltage in and out are handled by separate 3.5mm mini-jacks. The 6-pin RJ-11 RS-232 port allows the operating system's software to be updated, and can also be used for external control by a master control system such as an AMX or Crestron. The No.383 supports communications via two 8-pin RJ-45 PHAST-compatible Mark Levinson Link communications ports for two-way communication with a home automation system. This is offered for future integration with PHAST-controlled systems by installing an optional PHAST control board.
Three power supplies dominate the No.383's circuit board. All communication and control circuits are powered from a separate, low-voltage DC supply with its own transformer—a small, gray block in the front of the chassis. DC regulators are used to provide stable power and to prevent noise generated by the control and communications circuits from finding its way into the audio circuits.
The second and third power supplies are actually two independent DC supplies devoted to the left- and right-channel audio circuits. This duplication ensures that demand from one channel does not modulate the other's power supply. Two large, custom-designed toroidal transformers reduce the AC mains voltage to the ±60V rails. Independent rectification and filtering are followed by active regulation for the voltage-gain and volume-control circuits. High-frequency AC line noise is filtered by common-mode and differential filtering capacitors. Metal-oxide varistors are used for surge and spike protection on the AC line, and prevent excessive inrush current from damaging expensive power-supply components at power-on.
The preamplifier section begins with the gain control. Solid-state stepped attenuators offer precision control of balanced analog signal volume. Local supply regulation and passive bypass components are fine-tuned during the design compensation process to optimize the No.383's sonics during listening tests. Overall gain for the preamplifier section can be adjusted to optimize the volume-control range for loudspeakers of differing voltage sensitivity. Unity gain occurs when the display reads 67dB.
The No.383's amplifier section employs the same output-stage devices (12 per channel) as are found in Mark Levinson's 300-series dual-mono amplifiers. These bipolar power transistors are packaged in small plastic cases—rather than in the more microphonic-prone metal TO3 cans—and are clamped to the heatsinks with an aluminum bar. The end result is an output stage with low noise, low THD and IMD, and excellent squarewave performance. This stage runs at relatively low temperatures due to the wide spacing of output transistors along the current-gain circuit board and the custom heatsink extrusions mounted on the side of the chassis. Even with its compact chassis, the No.383 delivers 100Wpc at 8 ohms and 200Wpc at 4 ohms continuous, both channels driven, 20Hz-20kHz.
Extensive protection from internal and external component failures is provided. Fuses and a mains relay, driven by AC line voltage and frequency-sniffing sensing circuitry, protect the unit from under- and over-voltage conditions. Four sensors mounted on each rail of the left- and right-channel output stages provide thermal protection. Other switches, located inside each transformer housing, disconnect power if the transformer overheats. Soft-clip circuits are used to prevent high-energy, high-frequency ringing artifacts from reaching and damaging loudspeakers. Overdriving the amplifier for long periods or shorting its output switches it off.
Even with these features, Madrigal's engineers kept the No.383's costs down. As the preamp and power-amp sections don't have to deal with unknown situations, the respective output and input buffers can be eliminated. There is no headphone plug on the front panel, as is sometimes found in other integrated amplifiers. Rather than using exotic materials for the PCB, such as the No.334's avocado-colored cyanate-ester voltage-gain boards, the No.383 uses grade 10 FR-4 glass epoxy PCBs at one eighth the cost.
Madrigal designed the '383 to be operated only into 8 and 4 ohm loads, not for costly continuous 2 ohm capability. There is no separate Record/Monitor path, and no phono stage. These would have added considerable cost in shielding and advanced low-level circuitry. There is only one pair of propeller-wing speaker binding posts per channel, rather than the dual pairs found on all Mark Levinson power amplifiers. The circuit uses standard components, not cost-no-object Vishay resistors and WonderCaps. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. For example, ML found that inserting a local bypass in the current-to-voltage-converter circuit led to bigger sonic benefits than did the use of an expensive resistor or capacitor.

Bunny and Easter Basket Embroidery Pattern
To download the Easter Bunny and Basket pattern, click to open the JPG file and save it to your computer. Adjust the size in an image editing program or use the scaling option when you print it out.
Use the transfer method that will work best for the material you are stitching or print the pattern directly on water-soluble stabilizer, such as Sulky Sticky Fabri-Solvy.
The design works well sized to fit in a 6-inch embroidery hoop, but you can make it larger or smaller. If you choose to make it a lot smaller, you may want to eliminate the extra weaving lines on the lower part of the basket.

Taxotere Warnings and Precautions
To help ensure a safe treatment process and minimize risks, it is important to be aware of Taxotere warnings and precautions. For example, Taxotere may potentially cause side effects or complications, such as fluid retention, nerve problems, or allergic reactions. Because Taxotere is not suitable for everyone, certain people should avoid taking Taxotere, including those who are allergic to any of the ingredients in the medicine.
Taxotere: What Should I Tell My Healthcare Provider?You should talk with your healthcare provider prior to taking Taxotere® (docetaxel) if you have:
- A history of low levels of white blood cells (known medically as neutropenia)
- Any infection
- Congestive heart failure (CHF)
- Any allergies, including allergies to food, dyes, or preservatives.
Also, let your healthcare provider know if you are:
- Pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant
- Breastfeeding.
Make sure to tell your healthcare provider about all of the medicines you take, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Specific Taxotere Warnings and PrecautionsSome warnings and precautions to be aware of prior to taking Taxotere include the following:
- Taxotere can decrease the bone marrow's ability to produce blood cells. This can result in anemia and other serious conditions. Because your immune system depends on certain blood cells, you may be more susceptible to infections while taking Taxotere (see Chemotherapy and Infections). You may also be at a higher risk for bleeding (see Blood Clotting Problems and Chemotherapy). You will need regular blood tests to make sure your blood counts are not too low.
- There is a small risk of death while taking Taxotere, mostly due to dangerous infections (caused by low levels of white blood cells).
- Everyone taking Taxotere should be "premedicated" with an oral steroid before (and usually after) each Taxotere dose, in order to prevent allergic reactions and to decrease the severity of fluid retention.
- There have been cases of cystoid macular edema (an eye problem) in people taking this medication. If you develop any vision changes, especially blurriness in the center of your vision, talk to your doctor right away.
- Taxotere often causes fluid retention. Fluid retention can be especially dangerous for people with congestive heart failure (CHF).
- Taxotere can cause nerve problems, including nerve pain, weakness, or unusual sensations of burning or tingling (see Nerve and Muscle Problems During Chemotherapy).
- Taxotere can interact with other medications (see Taxotere Drug Interactions).
- Taxotere is considered a pregnancy Category D medication. This means that it is probably not safe for use during pregnancy. Talk to your healthcare provider about the risks and benefits of using the drug during pregnancy (see Taxotere and Pregnancy).
- It is not known if Taxotere passes through breast milk. Therefore, if you are breastfeeding or plan to start breastfeeding, discuss this with your healthcare provider prior to taking the drug (see Taxotere and Breastfeeding).

frequently asked questions
Thank you for three years of business! As of June 28, 2015, the Marcus Lindsey is no longer booking events. For further information, please see our homepage.
The Marcus Lindsey is one of the most versatile event spaces in the city, whether you're looking for a large indoor space, a smaller, more intimate space, or beautifully appointed outdoor space.
From concerts and music rehearsals to banquets and award ceremonies, weddings, garden parties, dance classes, mediation meetings, conferences, corporate gatherings, anniversaries, and more, the diverse space accompanied by the availability of comprehensive amenities allows our guests a remarkable range of opportunities.
For this reason, we often field a wide range of questions about what's possible. The following represents the most common enquiries and we encourage you to read through them to see if they address your particular situation. If not, we're always delighted to communicate with you personally by phone or email, or, better yet, to meet you in person to show you the building itself.
At any point, if you need immediate or specific information, please refer to our Terms and Guidelines.
Can the Marcus Lindsey be used for both weddings and receptions?
The facility can host both weddings and receptions in any of its spaces . . . or a combination thereof. Please check our Pricing section for special rates on combined-space rates.
What are the maximum capacities of the spaces?
That depends. Strictly technically speaking, per fire code, we can accommodate 226 in the Sanctuary and 50 in the Sacristy. However, let's take a wedding reception as an example. You have a seated dinner utilizing our 60″ round tables. These seat eight, comfortably, ten if you are close friends. Then, add buffet tables for your meal or appetizers, a dance floor, possibly a gift table or two, maybe an extra bar or two, and then there's the band or a DJ. We have found that the most comfortable number of seated guests for this scenario is about 150. Yes, we've had more, but we want you, your guests and your vendors to be comfortable and happy. You may wish to inquire with a party or wedding planner. Blank diagrams of the space are available. Parties and banquets with LESS setup than the above certainly may be able to accommodate more guests comfortably.
The Gardens comfortably accommodate 250 for a standing reception, 200 for a seated ceremony, and 150 for a seated banquet. In inclement weather, and with permission of the event director, a tent may be utilized. However, due to the delicate nature of the garden and its irrigation system, this may only be through our preferred tent vendor who is familiar with the property. Also, keep in mind tenting will reduce the number you are able to accommodate by about one-third.
When can I tour the venue?
Of course! We look forward to meeting you. All tours are by appointment.
Can I bring in an outside caterer?
No. The Marcus Lindsey has hand-selected some of Louisville's top catering companies from which the client is required to choose. We are certain you will be very pleased with our list and will find one agreeable to both your budget and your palate. Bon Appétit!
Is liquor permitted?
Yes, with proper liability coverage provided to the Marcus Lindsey by your caterer or bar service provider. No one but a licensed caterer or bartender is permitted serve, pour or prepare alcoholic beverages. By law, alcoholic beverages must remain within the properties limits and are not permitted on public walkways, streets, etc.
Who is responsible for clean up?
You and your catering staff. Please see our Terms and Guidelines page for further details.
What is included in the rental fee?
Your rental fee includes use of the facilities by you and / or your caterer during your contract hours; our inventory of tables and chairs; the Roland Digital Grand Piano; and Marcus Lindsey staff to oversee the facility. Please note, staff is on site to answer questions and oversee the well-being of the facility. They are not a engaged in party planning activities. We can provide recommendations of some fantastic planners, however!
Your menu, bar, linens, flatware, and other equipment must be arranged through your caterer. There are 200 wooden folding chairs; 25 60″ round tables (seating 8–10 each); eight cocktail / bistro tables; and 4 48″x72″ banquet tables available for use. Sanctuary weddings include DAY use of the Sacristy at no additional charge.
What about setup/take-down of tables and chairs?
Tables and chairs must be set up, moved and taken down by either your caterer or the Marcus Lindsey's contracted agent (at an additional, nominal charge). For your safety, there are no exceptions to this rule,
Can I get in early to set up?
Event setup must begin at your contract start time. As one example, if you have rented space for ten hours, and you want your party to last until 11PM, you may have the property at 2PM. Music stops and guests depart at 11PM with clean up and tear down complete by midnight. Extra hours for setup may be purchased, as available, as late as two weeks prior to the start of the event, and, subject to availability.
Can I purchase additional hours for my event?
Yes. Additional time may be purchased per hour, paid in advance, subject to availability. See above.
What about decorations?
Decorations not affixed to any structural portion of the properties are permitted. Due to the historical nature of the property, open flames are not permitted indoors. Clean-up and removal of all decor and debris are the sole responsibility of the client or their caterer. Please see Terms and Guidelines for further details. By the way, there are some amazing flameless candles on the market. More and more facilities are utilizing them and you can scarcely tell the difference. For example, see SmartCandle at http://smartcandle.com/.
How far in advance can I book an event?
Please inquire with our event director. Currently booking through May of 2015.
What forms of payment are accepted?
Checks, cash, Paypal and credit card payments through Paypal are accepted. We do not accept credit cards outside of Paypal.
Do I need a Paypal account to pay by credit card?
No. You do, however, need computer access and a valid email address for invoicing and payment.
Do you have audiovisual equipment?
No, but we do have audiovisual specialists who are familiar with our facilities and whom we recommend to our clients.
What about the baby grand piano?
Several excellent pianists have given it a thumbs-up on the sound of this digital piano. It looks just like a baby grand, but in addition to the ability to be played in the traditional manner, the Roland Digital Grand Piano is capable of accommodating a flash drive, iPod, or wired-microphone hookups, and can play any music of your choice.

My course, "Watercolor for the Absolute Beginner," at the Daniel Smith store in Bellevue, WA, ended up being a great class with 12 terrific students who were fun, eager to learn, and really seemed to enjoy the material presented. I love teaching and was so pleased with the group's participation. We spent over 12 hours together so it was a good thing both teacher and students had a great time!
I also learned some things that will help me make the course better for the Fall session at the store. There will be two free demos again on 10/13, and then another 4-week course begins with classes on 10/29, 11/5, 11/19, and the last class will be on 11/26. This course will still be a class for beginners, but if anyone wants a refresher in how to paint with watercolors, they are certainly welcome.
I'm hoping to give the course at Daniel Smith on an ongoing basis, so plan to make it better and better as more students participate and provide feedback.
One of the things I tried to convey in the class is that you don't have to be a good drawer to be a great watercolor artist. There are plenty of artists out there who really don't draw at all… they either take photos and trace them, or they project them with an overhead projector. All the various ways of getting your drawing on your paper are acceptable… it's just a matter of figuring out what works best for you.
One of the techniques I taught in the class involves gridding your photograph, figuring out the key points and junctures in the image, and then transferring those onto your gridded watercolor paper. Below I show the photo we used in class to draw from and the drawing I did to demonstrate the technique. Using this method, it's much easier to get a good drawing of your subject, especially if you are painting a portrait. The drawing shown was done quickly so doesn't match the boy's face exactly, but it will give you an idea of what I'm talking about. I also chose a portrait to draw to help the students see that even this daunting subject doesn't have to be difficult.
I learned this technique from one of my favorite painters, Ted Nuttall. He grids all of his paintings and carefully transfers his images over using a very distinct and unusual drawing style. Ted feels that the base drawing – and I tend to agree – is a very important part of the "character" of a painting, and said he often spends 12 hours just on the drawing, making sure everything is exactly the way he wants it. And it shows in his work. You can check out Ted's beautiful, distinctive paintings on his website, http://www.tednuttall.com.
Below are more of the photos taken in class by one of my students. I hope you enjoy seeing them. Maybe you'll be in the next course starting in October… I certainly hope so!

I'm working with an APM2 after months of experience with an APM1 in an EasyStar. The new APM2 has an airspeed sensor and typically shows 8-10 mph when sitting on the bench. On its last flights, we tested Manual and got the plane trimmed and flying well. We tested Stabilize and it flew even better (!) in that mode. The last test was with RTL.
When switched into RTL, the plane turned back to Home. It was at just about the Default Altitude of 250 feet, but it started to descend. It was at about 200 feet when crossing Home and starting the RTL turn. It continued to descend through the turn to the point we had to go back to Manual and recover to safe altitude.
On the bench, whenever the APM2 goes into Auto or RTL, nav_pitch goes to -5 and the elevator servo is send into a corresponding nose-down position. The -5 degrees just happens to be the Min Pitch configuration setting. So, I know what's causing the dive, but why?
Can anyone say why the APM would command a descent when at target altitude in an Auto mode? I need to find the reason before attempting flight again. It's using version 2.28 firmware. The params file is attached. Thanks.
Views: 569
Some more research has focused this question. The "descent" problem is seen only when the airspeed sensor is enabled. When the Airspeed sensor is disabled, then the APM2 commands maximum nav_pitch in RTL mode on the bench. This is completely understandable since the "default altitude" is set to 250 feet.
So, the question becomes -- "Why does the APM descend in RTL when using the airspeed sensor?"
Is there anyone out there who works with the source and can explain how the APM uses airspeed when holding altitude?
Just to make sure I didn't miss something in the setup, I read through the Wiki's Airspeed Sensor setup page. (http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Airspeed) The second sentence says--
"It is not recommended for most new users, however, as it does require additional tuning and adds one more layer of control to set up."
The page goes on to detail how to connect it to the APM and how to test for basic functionality. But there is nothing that I can find about how the airspeed sensor is tuned or what additional layer of control it adds. Would someone point me to the Airspeed sensor documentation so I can see how to tune it and how it affects operations?
These are extremely valid questions and I would also like answers to
If you have the airspeed sensor enabled, then pitch is controlled by airspeed. If the unit is not flying, there is no airspeed and in response a negative pitch command is given (to speed up).
If you have the airspeed sensor attached it is easy to test on the ground either through the CLI, or using telemetry, by simply blowing on the pitot tube and seeing the response.
Thanks for taking the time to help with this question. I agree that when the airspeed is "zero" then it would be appropriate to see down elevator to increase airspeed. The field observation (see the first post above) is that while flying in RTL mode, the airplane continued to descend well past Default Altitude. That airplane flew yesterday using GPS groundspeed data and it held altitude accurately. The question is why it descends through Default Altitude while flying in RTL using the airspeed sensor. Can you comment on that? Thanks.
I am having the same problem you explained above. When I switch to RTL the aircraft returns to "home" but it slowly looses altitude, eventually I have to take over as it gets to close to the ground. I, like you have a airspeed sensor enabled. I have not tried RTL with the airspeed sensor disabled but I will next time out. You above comments are from some time ago, did you ever get this issue rectified?
Thanks for the help.

Escape from the Museum
A few weeks ago, while in Boston, a friend gave me a free ticket to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Now I'm not a regular museum goer. I support the arts, but my lip service is enough. I rarely want to pay admissions (one time I paid $25 at the Virginia Historical Society to spend 20 minutes staring at Downton Abbey costumes), and once I'm there, I feel low class compared to the seemingly more informed art viewers who pause, lean in toward each other, hand on jaw, other hand indicating a brush stroke, and whisper.
I see a picture of a girl walking a dog, read the placard ("Oil on canvas"), and I'm done.Read More

Alpha Tren Composition
This post-training formula in the back, in principle 7 main ingredients namely:
- L-Arginine: The amino acid in greater abundance in the human body, great reparative tissue, optimize glycogen synthesis, "food" to the immune system, among other functions;
- Magnesium: Providing more strength and endurance to the muscles, as well as an optimization recovery;
- Amino acids: In order to increase / stabilize blood pH, reducing acidic compounds which hinder and slow recovery;
- Folic acid: Essential in transporting fatty acids to the mitochondria that are used as energy;
- Potassium: Optimizing the training as a whole and improving insulin sensitivity, since it is antagonistic to homocysteine;
- Calcium: Improves the absorption of the ingredients in the formula.
- Antioxidants
Finally, the product still provides 120 mg Antioxidants, essential in muscular contraction and also in neurotransmission as a whole. This mineral assists in increasing the yield of their training, to prevent dehydration and assist the arrival of a greater quantity of nutrient to the muscles while optimizing the absorption of glucose in the intestine.

Moreover, it is included to assist in controlling the pH and to assist in the volumizing muscle cell, some not – essential amino acids, which also need to be in good quantity in the body after training which is an energy supplement and which is capable of increasing the size of muscle cells and others. Alpha Tren also has the addition of energetic compounds, which optimize fat burning and increase the provision.

It promotes an increase in focus, reduces fatigue and is a compound highly associated with the reduction of body fat in synergy.
Alpha Tren reduces muscle fatigue
It was recently launched, but it can be an ally to its development. This is because it has focused on the combination of nutrients and compounds that reduce fatigue and increased the intensity of their training, thus promoting a better recovery after training.
Alpha Tren increases the size of the cells, to reduce the impact of ammonia in some tissues, to improve their oxygenation, improve glucose uptake reducing lactic acid levels, among other functions. It has a buffering effect, stabilizing the blood pH and reducing the impact of acids in increased fatigue which is also involved in processes related to a reduction in oxidative stress. As the name suggests, it came to modify the pre – workout line for owning factors that stimulate you to carry out the training.

University of Mount Olive served a season-high 13 aces, but was unable to hold onto a two-set lead as the Trojans fell to Barton 17-25, 21-25, 25-14, 25-15, 15-11 in Conference Carolinas women's volleyball Wednesday at Kornegay Arena. Samantha Winfield led the Trojans with a career-high six aces.
Winfield served three of her aces during a 9-0 run in the first set as Mount Olive (5-13 overall, 2-6 Conference Carolinas) erased an early three-point deficit and built a 15-8 lead. The margin grew to double digits before Barton (7-10, 5-3) saved four set points. Sarah Watkins' kill down the right side gave the Trojans the opening set.
The second set was highlighted by an electrifying 16-shot rally, eventually won by Mount Olive to give the Trojans an 18-16 lead. UMO libero Casey Fiechter recorded five of her match-high 20 digs during the rally. Watkins recorded kills on the final two points to give Mount Olive a two-set advantage.
Barton controlled the third set as the Bulldogs capitalized on Trojan miscues to build a double-digit lead. Jillian Sherman's ace on set point kept Barton in the match.
Mount Olive rallied from an early eight-point deficit in the fourth set as Montgomery Register's ace capped a 9-2 run and pulled the Trojans within 14-13. Barton came back with seven unanswered points to pull away and force a fifth set.
After spotting Barton the first two points, Mount Olive came back on back-to-back kills in the middle by Dezirae Mackey. Barton answered with a 3-0 run and the Bulldogs led the rest of the way.
Watkins led a balanced Mount Olive attack with 10 kills as six different Trojans recorded six or more kills. Ellen Morgan had nine kills, Britni Johnson finished with eight kills, Register and Alysha Burnett each added seven kills and Mackey tallied six kills. Winfield had 22 assists and 12 digs to go with her service performance, while Aubrey McKinney added 16 assists. Burnett served three aces for the Trojans and Register had two aces to go with a team-high five blocks.
Melissa Cochran led Barton with a match-high 12 kills to go with six blocks, while Kaitlyn Micol added a match-high seven blocks. Alex Ward and Catherine Barber combined for nine of the Bulldogs' 13 aces.
The Trojans are now 2-2 this season in five-set matches.
Mount Olive returns to action Saturday as the Trojans travel to Savannah, Ga., for a pair of non-conference matches hosted by nationally 20th-ranked Armstrong State. The Trojans take on Lander at 3 p.m., then face Armstrong State at 5 p.m.

Around the world today, including the U.S, people are loving and serving many false gods. How do I KNOW that the triune God I love and serve is the only true God?
Hallelujah!!! My God desires and delights to MAKE HIMSELF KNOWn! He is KNOW-able, and pursues ALL people with the gift of KNOWing Him and living in eternal relationship with Him!
Younger Set
• In what ways does God help me KNOW about Himself? (Image with this article contains clues - through God's words in the Bible, through the person and life of Jesus, through nature which God made, through His Holy Spirit working in and between us as believers in Christ.)
• What are some of your favorite things to KNOW about God (adults share along with youth)?
• Do you have any friends or relatives that do NOT KNOW about God? Who?
• How can you help these people KNOW God? (Pray for God to keep softening their hearts to want to KNOW Him, show them your love and kindness in every way possible, tell them about the God who made and saved and loves them!)
• Pray together for some of these people by name.
Read these passages for assurance from God concerning the ways He makes Himself KNOWn to us: Psalm 19:1-4, Romans 1:18-21, Matthew 11:25-27, John 1:18, John 17:25-26, Luke 24:25-27, Romans 16:25-27, 2 Timothy 3:14-17, Colossians 2:2-3, I John 4:7-8.
Points to Ponder - Share how God has worked in your personal life to help you KNOW Him: how are you receiving God's revealing of Himself in creation, in the person of Jesus Christ, in His Word, and in the lives of others? Has God brought anyone into your life that you can help to see, hear, and receive what God is revealing so that they can KNOW Him better? How can the Church today help the pre-saved engage with God's revelations in order to KNOW Him?
Discovered your post fascinating to peruse. I cannot hold up to see your post soon. Good Luck for the up and coming update.This article is truly extremely fascinating and successful
I liked the way you wrote the article. It was very straightforward and your knowledge on the subject is fantastic.
This is certainly a great way to promote your brand because this is an easy way to spread brand awareness and most of the people are very fond of this kind of promotions

The COTT Canary, The Food Chain/
The Food Chain from the Slaughterhouse to the Infusion Needle: The confirmation of the transmission of Mad Cow disease (CJD and variant CJD) to humans is now accepted based on events in Great Britain. Given that we have now transitioned from the "hypothetical" dangersof Mad Cow transmission from cattle to humans to the reality of TSE (transmissible spongiform encephalopathy) transmissibility, it is imperative that the connection between food and blood be prioritized by those tasked with the regulation of America's blood supply. At the ground floor is the reality that those who consume beef products also donate blood. The importance of that basic reality falls squarely on the shoulders of the Food & Drug Administration. With that in mind, the relationship between the regulation of the blood supply and the regulatory tracking of America's cattle herds must be elevated to a much more integrated and comprehensive threshold. We also must be concerned about our deer herds and those that hunt and consume deer meat. These animals are also showing TSE and there is concern and those that hunt and consume them. While persons involved in public health cannot be expected to learn the specifics of agricultural animal management, some familiarization with these events is warranted.
Starting from the bottom or end result of the chain, for a person to receive the infectious agent for the disease from blood, it (the agent) must be:
- Present in donated blood (and, for plasma product users, not sufficiently removed in fractionation;
- Present in the donor's bloodstream via consumption of infected food;
- Present in the food – beef cattle – through horizontal contagion from others, linking eventually back to the United Kingdom.
This last gives most people pause – the US stopped importing British beef years and years ago. But the Canada link was responsible for the first US case found. The second case was all ours. It's here. And if our sampling system caught two, a fuller test might catch hundreds …
Most countries protect their populations from this disease by thorough testing of all or most cattle before slaughter. Usually this means testing only those older than 30 months, the time when detectable symptoms begin to appear. Determining the age of cattle in slaughter is based on presence of certain molars, not an ironclad system.
However the US doesn't test all cattle over 30 months. We test less than one percent of them, plus any other beef cow which cannot walk or otherwise shows possible symptoms of BSE.
Instead, the US requires slaughterhouses to make extensive changes in the process, to assure that all cerebral and spinal materials are removed, so that theoretically even infected cattle can be processed into meat and sold in US stores but the meat will not be infectious.
This is similar to cutting the bad part out of an apple, or tearing the mold off the corner of a piece of bread, and consuming the remainder with no concern. Except for two things: 1) discovery, research on and handling of prions is so new it may be naïve to conclude which parts are infectious and which aren't, and 2) the age determination and the removal of the potentially infectious material are performed by low wage employees, often with minimal training.
Oversight of these functions by USDA has been the linchpin in holding public confidence in the USDA plan to successfully protect our health. However, its efficacy is not widely reported, but anecdotal evidence abounds of its shoddy implementation. As one brief example, workers assigned to mark cattle when the indicated molars are found miss many so the packages coming out of the other end of the plant are wrongly labeled "USDA Inspected and Passed" and taken to market.
A few other examples of in-plant procedural inadequacies that allow risk materials to pass into the food chain:
Requirements [Inspectors]:
Check every carcass for age
Requirements [Other Staff/Vets]:
Verify on paper and spot checks
Document violations of USDA rendering requirements
Provide line inspections when vacancies due to illness, etc.
Actual Procedure [Inspectors]:
Not trained or told to check every carcass
Actual Procedure [Other Staff/Vets]:
Not trained or told how to verify.
Spot checks as seldom as once a day.
Not allowed to record frequency of spot checks.
Only permitted if seen in person. For others, take word of employees over inspectors.
Not permitted to record violations observed when filling in for line staff.
Source: Public Citizen
So USDA inspectors are tightly constrained, subsidiary to slaughterhouse employees versus in a regulatory role over them, and, essentially, complicit in permitting much potentially infectious material to pass. There is no post-production test for presence of this material before packaging.
When you put into your arm weekly or monthly the distillation of the blood of tens of thousands of donors, you go to extreme lengths to advocate for its purity. USDA does not.

Prevent Age-Related Drama at Work
Lisa Nicole Bell recently wrote about just this topic in her Forbes article, "How Young Women in Charge Can Prevent Age-Related Drama at Work." Her advice is solid and straight forward, and one point stood out to us most evidently:
Own your success. [ … ] Some older subordinates erroneously assume that a young woman in power has either "slept" her way there or has been handed her position as a favor. As someone who has worked hard to be in a position to produce my own projects, I resented the implication that I was somehow undeserving of my title and authority. You must own your successes and display them proudly. While it's not necessary to brag or be self-indulgent, it is important to establish that you're smart, capable, and in charge for good reason.
No matter the issue, no matter the generation, you will most certainly encounter drama from colleagues both older and younger than you. Approach the situation with a clear sense of self and you'll find quelling the drama is easier than you thought.

HP Says No Battery Recall Necessary
Hewlett-Packard has no plans for a battery recall, despite efforts by several of its competitors to replace millions of notebook PC battery packs.
The Palo Alto, Calif., computer giant said that, following a review, it did not see reason to replace notebook battery packs containing lithium-ion cells manufactured by Sony that were shipped with some of its notebooks. Manufacturing defects in some Sony lithium-ion cells have lead to battery packs overheating and even a handful of notebook fires. The condition has lead to the recall of more than 7 million battery packs to date by several top manufacturers.
HP's decision, which the company said in a statement was based on a review of its product design and the lack of any reports of problems from its customers, reinforces its original position that its notebooks were unaffected by similar problems. However, it comes just days after Lenovo Group, which also originally said it was unaffected, and Toshiba each issued recalls for 526,000 and 830,000 packs, respectively. Meanwhile, Sony announced a commitment to work with all PC makers in an effort to replace any additional potentially faulty battery packs as necessary.
Even though it uses similar components as the other computer makers, HP officials say the company designs its PCs somewhat differently.

Not if its "My" Annihilator destroying your monky Media.animevice.com
it would be fair to use the avitus against it, considering their stats are almost the same. the monky would do it no sweat and a great challenge for the avitus.
I thought this was UEF v of storm strider so wudn'y a monkeylord lose in a one on one?
go back to the stats and compare the two. it is a t5 but if the avitus and all them will keep the stats, this beast will need a stats boost to stay in the t5 range. hmmmm i just figured something out. calling them experimentals means they are still in the experimental stage, prototypes. experimental sounds really cool but, did gpg mean they were prototypes? where are the finished products? what are they called?
Agreed, i thought about them being called experimentals and how often they were used in combat, if they were really experimentals you would only see them once or twice a battle for "testing purposes".
But avitus said - @ all
the stats on this chart are not to be compared to the UEF chart only other Cybran XPs and it is all subject to change.
is that a railgun in the front ? :p
Yes lol
looks good!
awesome unit!
another one for my favorites list :P
It would be nice if it could hunker/deploy to become stationary super turret.
Awesome !!!
Started to love UEF(a cybran fan^^)
*giggles* Im getting a giddy love feeling for this piece of epic work
UEF vesion of monkeylord :o
Seems to be more of a UEF Storm Stider :)
i like kgocb001s idea. you could actually hide the railgun inside the body and cover the hole with a plate of armor, or have the front fold inward kinda. have the legs spread out and let the railgun come out to deploy.
you could model its walking animation like the habitat walkers from uaw. only pick one leg up at a time because its so big.
its so awesome my brain wants me to try and put it down.
uerrrh i just noticed how the connection between the top and chassi is super thin. i understand that its the future, but yikes, if you were to aim there, it would take it out instantly. please make it a little fatter.
when will the king criptor be remade i dont know about you guys but it seemed weak like it would never break the front lines or my base/units i would fear the galactic and monkey lord much more.

Oh the Shame!!
Oh the Shame!!What's in My Bag/HandbagOk so here goes I'm doing a" whats in my bag post". . .
My bag/handbag; Yes all goes into one, I love my bag my brill little bro ("little"- nealry 30), bought me this bag in Dubai, he's got good taste and knows me so well. Everything fits into this bag wait till you see all that I get into it. I do-give Ryanair a run for their money when it comes to packing.
The contents; Yup! all this was in that bag but I'm so shamed I've seen some amazing "what's in my bag" post and Oh Goodness just look, Mini miss food gets put in a plastic freezer bag, nappies and wipes neatly tidied in corner of bag, no pretty pouch to hold them? The crayons are in a nice Frozen case and I've the nice princess tissues from Penny's. I recently felt it was time to treat myself to a new purse, how cute is the purse? It's from the Mantaray Range in Debenhams and as an added bonus I got 20% of it. The dummy is on a chain but I'm still on the search for a dummy chain my Mini miss wouldn't break or lose. A must have in my bag is the eczema spray which I have a blog coming about very soon it's an amazing range. My diary and pen I wouldn't know what to do for the I'd end up sitting in the car rocking going "where to go where to go".
* Right so I'm setting myself a challenge 'tidy up the Mammy bag'.
Have you got a must have in your bag please tell me about it or a product that helps organise things please share . . .
I'll keep you updated :)

Nevel are a small sustainable brewery with a passion for fermentation techniques. They find inspiration for their recipes in every aspect of their daily lives: edible flowers, fruits and herbs that surround them, cheeses and chocolates that are made by craftsmen, a good glass of natural wine or a surprising dish.
They work solely with mixed fermentation cultures, which results in dry, refreshing, and complex beers. Most of their beers are aged in wooden barrels to create deeper flavours. Their ingredients are sourced locally and organically whenever possible.
For International Gruit Day, Nevel will be releasing their very first gruit ale, Weder, brewed with myrica gale, yarrow and mugwort that they foraged in their hometown of Nijmegen. Furthermore, they're organizing a release party at the brewery on Gruit Day where people can drop by and taste Weder for free and buy bottles to go.

Do you suspect your roof may be leaking? Perhaps you've noticed shingles missing from the roof or observed that some of them appear damaged. Or, maybe water has begun to stain your house's ceiling or walls.
Tracking down the precise location of a leak—and of course, repairing the leak—is definitely a task you can leave to the experts. However, as a homeowner, knowing how leaks function (which includes learning to tell where the leak is located versus where you're seeing water) is important to determining where issues might be developing on your roof.
What Can Cause a Leak?
Before you start exploring your house in detail, let's look at a couple of locations on your roof where leaks are prone to developing and why. There are other common locations where leaks may occur, but these descriptions provide a brief overview of potential issues.
A commonly damaged part of a roof are the flashing. This term refers to the thin pieces of metal used to weatherproof or seal the area around vents and pipes. If these become damaged, water may seep into the framing, leading to a leak.
A leak may also develop in your roof's soffit, the wood beneath the roof overhang. Small animals and insects are frequently attracted to this spot. You may find it useful to examine this area for cracks, holes and rotting.
Identifying a Roof Leak
Here are some tips to help you identify a roof leak in your Midland, TX, home. Keep in mind that water can enter the roof in one place and collect in another location before soaking into the ceiling.
Head up to the attic: If your home has an attic, it may be useful to explore the attic on a rainy day. (Remember your flashlight, as water will reflect light.) When you locate where the water is coming from, mark the area. This will help lay the groundwork for the roofing company you hire, who will apply roofing cement or new shingles as needed after the leak's location on the roof's exterior is identified.
No attic or can't find the source of the leak?: You can try checking boots (the rubber seals that can be found around the electric service and plumbing vent pipes, air vents and exhaust fan flashing), ridge cap, flashings, gaskets surrounding pipes, shingles, gutters and downspouts and dormer valleys (framed projections through the sloping plane of your roof).
Try examining your home's exterior: Another option to identify the source of the leak, especially if rain is not in the weather forecast, is to bring a garden hose up on the roof. Starting small, run the water over the spot in the roof where you think the leak may be located. Ask someone else to examine the attic with a flashlight looking for moisture, as the water will reflect the light, making it easier to see.

By Aditi Shah
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - General Motors Co (GM.N) is restructuring its India operation and evaluating its product portfolio, the U.S.-carmaker said on Thursday, as it looks to revive falling sales and increase market share in Asia's third-largest economy.
"There are many aspects of the business that we need to work on to make sure we are efficient," Mary Barra, the company's chief executive officer told reporters in New Delhi, adding that India was significant to GM's global success.
"In China we play in the core of the segments and here in some cases we are more on the fringe or we are not across the major segments. What we are evaluating here is what is the right product portfolio," said Barra.
India is expected to become the world's third-largest passenger car market by 2018, moving up from sixth place today, according to IHS Automotive.
Car sales in the country are reviving and are expected to grow by 5-10 percent this fiscal year that started on April 1, after falling for two consecutive years.
GM plans to launch 40 new products in India and other international markets excluding China, north America and Europe, Barra said, without providing a specific timeline.
Despite a portfolio that includes compact cars, a favorite among buyers in India, GM has faced stiff competition from Korea's Hyundai Motor Co <005380.KS>, Japan's Honda Motor Co <7267.T> and Maruti Suzuki India (MRTI.NS), which together account for two-thirds of car sales in the country.
GM, which entered India in 1994, saw its market share fall to 3.2 percent in the fiscal year ended March 31 from 3.3 percent the year before, industry body data showed.
"We are undertaking right now a transformation and a significant restructure of our organization including India and we are building our strategy," said Stefan Jacoby, executive vice president of GM's consolidated international operations.
The company has started exporting cars from India to Chile, and Jacoby said making India an export hub for the Asia Pacific region "could be one of the options."
GM has recalled about 29 million vehicles worldwide this year, of which about 25.7 million have been in the United States, mainly because of potentially lethal issues with ignition switches.
"At the end of Q2 we said and still continue to believe that the recalls ... are substantially complete," Barra said, adding that GM was working to "build defect-free vehicles" in future.

Dell is working on their next generation Streak 5 inch mini-tablet, which will apparently be called Dell Opus One. It will feature Qualcomm's dual core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon SoC with the Adreno 220 graphics processor. The tablet will also have an HD display resolution, something like 1280 x 800.
Dell plans to release this tablet in May 2011, so hopefully it won't come with a one year old Android version, like say Froyo, but at least Gingerbread or even Honeycomb if it's released earlier than Google's I/O in May. I know that Dell is now manufacturing WP7 phones, too, but if they plan on selling Android devices and do well, they might as well do them right.

Nickelodeon presented a group of deserving recipients – including pop icon Justin Bieber – with custom awards created by Bennett Awards for their 2015 Nickelodeon Halo Awards. Now in its seventh year, the Nickelodeon HALO Awards are annual recognition awards that honor real-life kids that are doing extraordinary things in their communities and "Helping and Leading Others" (HALO). In addition to the custom awards created by Bennett Awards, each HALO award honoree receives a grant for their organization, scholarship funds, and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet and connect with celebrities that share their same passion for service.
The four 2015 honorees are: 16-year-old Ethan Cruikshank from Mechanicsville, Virginia; 15-year-old Riley Gantt from Sherman Oaks, California; 14-year-old Joshua Williams from Miami Beach, Florida; and 18-year-old Ruchita Zaparde from Plainsboro, New Jersey.
In addition to the teen honorees, Justin Bieber received the first HALO Hall of Fame award, which is an award given to a celebrity that helps and leads others by making the world a better place. Bieber was recognized for his outstanding charitable work with Make-A-Wish and Pencils of Promise.
For these recognition awards, Bennett Awards worked with Nickelodeon to create a new custom award design. The teen honorees received awards in the form of custom fabricated aluminum batons. The batons were approximately 12" long by 1.5" in diameter, and anodized in orange (the Nickelodeon brand color). Each end of the baton had acrylic rings to accentuate the design. The Nickelodeon HALO AWARDS logo was engraved on the front of each baton, and the words "HELPING AND LEADING OTHERS" on the back. Finally, fabricated aluminum stands were created to hold each baton.
Justin Bieber's HALO Hall of Fame Award was in the same material and form factor as the teen awards, but was plated in gold.
The 2015 HALO Awards event was held Nov 29, 2015 at NYC's Pier 36. The presentation was simulcast on Nickelodeon, Teen Nick, Nicktoons, TV Land, CMT, Nick.com and the Nick app. Nick Cannon hosted the event, which featured live performances by Fifth Harmony, DNCE, Flo Rida, Tori Kelly, and WALK THE MOON.

Body Found In Clark Fork River in April Identified
The Missoula County Coroner has released the name of the man whose body was found floating in the Clark Fork River in April as that of Ronald Sarin of Missoula.
According to the Missoula Police Department, Mr. Sarin was reported as missing on February 13. His body was spotted by rafters on the river near the Reserve Street bridge, but because the body was in such an advanced state of decomposition after being in the water for several weeks, a positive identification was difficult.
The cause of death was drowning, and our condolences go out to the Sarin family.

Mobile Help Medical Alert System Review
Mobile Help ranks seventh on Reviews Bee's Top 10 medical alert systems. As innovators in mobile alert systems, Mobile Help has forged a path that other traditional providers have been quick to emulate.
Mobile Help ranks seventh on Reviews Bee's Top 10 medical alert systems. As innovators in mobile alert systems, Mobile Help has forged a path that other traditional providers have been quick to emulate.
For seniors who need a medical alert system that goes with them when they leave the house, Mobile Help's GPS powered, cellular based system is one of the first of its kind. Since better known companies have promptly followed suit and offered their own premium services that match Mobile Help's, the company has not created the large customer base they had hoped for.
As one of the first to offer mobile medical alert capabilities and with their focus solely on this type of service, Mobile Help does its job well, but they do not offer common add-ons, such as smoke and carbon monoxide detection or speaker pendants.
Because of Mobile Help's limited equipment options, they do not rank as well with experts compared to larger, established medical alert companies. If you are looking specifically for the type of cellular based service that Mobile Help offers, you may disagree.
Experts do note in Mobile Help's favor that the system is easy to use, an inexpensive mobile option, and provides satisfactory customer service. In fact, one of the areas that Mobile Help scores well in is providing customer refunds upon cancellation of service, an area that many medical alert system providers struggle with.
Mobile Help has made a few expert site's listings, but is more often than not left out of the top medical alert system providers. For this reason, they do not rank as highly in Reviews Bee' Expert Rating Score compared to other more established medical alert system companies with wider variety in their offerings.
Mobile Help was tied for tenth place in Reviews Bee's Top 10 according to expert rating.
Seniors who want a system that is easy to use, does not require a telephone landline, and has unlimited range are exceptionally happy with Mobile Help. The freedom to be active and travel is paired with confidence to leave the house knowing that help is there when you need it. Mobile Help enables seniors to be independent and mobile. The safety that it provides while driving was a commonly mentioned benefit in consumer reviews. On the go seniors have peace of mind with Mobile Help.
When Reviews Bee researched consumer reviews for Mobile Help, we discovered less than 25 relevant reviews. Though this is not as much feedback as we would like, what we did find was overwhelmingly positive. In consumer star ratings, Mobile Help scored a perfect 10! This was the highest Consumer Ratings Score included in Reviews Bee's Top 10 medical alert systems.
Active seniors enjoy the fact that they have the peace of mind that their medical alert system provides even when they are not at home. While driving, playing golf, or visiting with friends, Mobile Help has provided emergency help as needed to seniors wherever they are.
Mobile Help seems to be a medical alert system that you either fall in love with or cannot use at all. The vast majority of the consumer complaints with the Better Business Bureau were centered on problems with service. Since Mobile Help is cellular based, it in inoperable in areas without cellular service. This can be a problem in many rural areas, but also in cities where cell tower signals can be blocked by large buildings, bridges, and other structures.
Two other complaints regarded billing. In both cases, the consumers stated that Mobile Help sent their account to collection agencies without ever billing them.
If you are an active senior in an area with exceptional cellular service, you will appreciate Mobile Help's dependable and affordable mobile medical alert system. If you would like a traditional system or live in a rural area, Mobile Help will not work for you.

Pacific Region International Survey of Marine Megafauna (PRISMM)
The Pacific Region International Survey of Marine Megafauna (PRISMM) survey consisted of an extensive line transect survey that included both visual and passive acoustic monitoring components. This was the first systematic survey of marine mammals in western Canada's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). The EEZ boundary off western Canada includes waters out to the 200 offshore limit from the coast of Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii (formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands).
Bio-Waves Inc. staff were responsible for conducting passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) that was used to complement visual survey efforts. The primary goal of this massive effort was to assess the distribution, abundance, and occurrence of cetaceans in the study area. PAM is particularly effective during inclement weather (e.g., high sea-states or poor visibility), and for species that are deep-divers, visually elusive or cryptic. This includes deep diving species such as sperm whales and beaked whales. During poor sighting conditions (e.g. in fog, or at night) we could also detect killer-whales, baleen whales (e.g. blue fin and humpback whales) and even small odontocetes such as Dall's and harbor porpoise. Acoustic monitoring was conducted 24 hours per day, as sea conditions and other operations allowed. For this project, Bio-Waves used custom-designed towed hydrophone array system that was deployed around the clock for 24 hour monitoring capabilities.
In addition to towed array operations, Bio-Waves staff systematically deployed and monitored Directional Frequency Analysis and Recording (DiFAR) sonobuoys . These were also deployed when species of interest were sighted or heard on the towed array. Acoustic monitoring was conducted continuously through aural and visual monitoring of spectrograms and bearing/time displays using PAMGuard software. Preliminary field results indicate that thecombined day/night passive acoustic effort resulted in 38 days of survey effort, covering roughly 4976 nautical miles of effort, containing a total of 793 hours of data collection and monitoring. A total of 144 detections and 71 localizations (mostly sperm whales) were made. These data ultimately be analyzed further to estimate distribution and abundance for some species.

Social Distortion
© All Rights Reserved
History repeating itself, deja vu, retro? Fashion comes and goes and the clothes of the fathers are now the "innest" stuff for the sons. Did that make us social distorted too then? Who is behind this design? A drinking skeleton, is that what they should become or are they referring to the state parents are in now after going on too many boozing sprees? Too many questions I know but I have been always intrigued by fashion and youngsters' striving for being completely distorted...hmmm, what a wonderful times we had!
Update: People portrayed in this picture has nothing to do with what is expressed as my own personal opinion in this article. This post has provoked different reactions, possibly because I am no expert as you can see in this matter. I was only referring to youth and fashion. In order to avoid misinterpretation and some wild opinions clearly out of place, comments will remain closed and those already accepted hidden.

Mental health law passed
China yesterday adopted a law to protect for the first time the rights of the mentally ill after years of accusations that psychiatric hospitals are used to lock up people against their will and silence dissidents. Human rights advocates called the hard-fought for law, which has been debated for more than two decades, significant, even though they say it still falls short of international standards as it allows for involuntary commitment without judicial review. "The most important thing that this law does is it will allow civil society to step in to monitor and press for improvement in the management of mental health in China, including ... pushing for greater transparency and progressive curtailment of police rights," said Nicholas Bequelin, a researcher at New York-based Human Rights Watch.
Storm leaves six dead
Tropical Storm Son-Tinh has left six people dead and nine missing in the country and is heading toward Vietnam and southern China. Civil defense chief Benito Ramos said yesterday the fatalities included an 88-year-old woman who died of hypothermia and a 77-year-old man hit by a falling tree in central Philippines More than 30,000 people stranded at seaports and airports were expected to resume their journeys after storm warnings were lifted yesterday and floodwaters began subsiding.
Gas leak delays launch
The nation was forced to postpone its third attempt to launch a satellite into space from its own soil because of a last-minute technical glitch. Space agency chief Kim Seung-jo said engineers found a gas leak in the link between the two-stage rocket and the launch pad just hours before yesterday's planned lift-off. The South has tried unsuccessfully two other times to launch a satellite. In 2009, the rocket failed to deploy the satellite in orbit. In 2010, the rocket carrying the satellite exploded just two minutes after lift-off. Kim said it would take at least another three days to try again.
Reward for thief's head
Davao City Vice Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has offered a US$121,000 reward for the decapitated head of the alleged leader of a gang of car thieves. Duterte, known for being tough on criminals, told a news conference in Davao on Wednesday that he would give 2 million pesos (US$48,400) if suspect Ryan Yu is arrested and 4 million pesos if he's killed. He said he would add another 1 million pesos if Yu's decapitated head was delivered to him "in ice." Davao police chief Ronald de la Rosa said yesterday that many interested parties had sent text messages wanting assurance they would receive the reward.
US returns artifacts
The US has returned more than 4,000 artifacts to Mexico, some more than 1,500 years old, that were brought across the border illegally, US customs officials said.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement said on Thursday that the artifacts had been seized at the border and inside the US in more than a dozen operations in recent years. The artifacts include five pre-Columbian statues, 26 ceramic fragments dating back 1,500 years, and an Aztec whistle.
Feathered fossils found
Scientists have unearthed the first fossils of a feathered dinosaur ever found in the Americas, the journal Science reported on Thursday. The 75 million-year-old fossil specimens, uncovered in the badlands of Alberta, include remains of a juvenile and two adult ostrich-like creatures known as ornithomimids. Until now feathered dinosaurs have been found mostly in China and in Germany. Francois Therrien, curator at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta, and the co-author of the study, said the discovery revealed another fascinating fact — the existence of early wings in dinosaurs that were too big to fly.
