Comments about Bilstein 5100 Series Front Shock Absorber - GM:
Shipping was very quick and shocks were packaged beautifully. Will defiantly buy all of my suspension parts from truckspring. Installation was very easy. Took about 15 minutes for each shock. The ride has greatly improved. Just like out of the factory.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The 5100 Series offers traditional Bilstein technology with applications for lifted trucks, Jeeps and SUV's. Due to their larger tires and a heightened stance, lifted trucks place an extra demand on a shock absorbers damping ability. Bilstein's 5100 monotube design and patented digressive valving is uniquely suited to confront these demands. On or off-road, loaded or unloaded, Bilstein 5100 shocks instantly react to changing road inputs to maintain a stable, controlled, and comfortable ride.
Each 5100 Series shock has extremely durable and long lasting vulcanized neoprene rubber bushings with vehicle specific sleeves or cast crossbars. OEM certified mounting hardware allows for easy installation.
Bilstein is world famous for manufacturing some of the most durable, longest lasting shocks available. In fact, the 5100 Series shocks are comprised of components originally designed or off-road motorsports. Bilstein is so confident that these shocks will out last your vehicle that they back the product with a Limited Lifetime Aftermarket Warranty. If a Bilstein shock fails during normal wear and tear, you'll get a new shock absolutely free.
Bilstein shocks are sold individually. Pricing is for (1) shock. It is highly recommended that you replace shocks in pairs (both front shocks, or both rear shocks).
Proven design technology, a superior manufacturing process and a commitment to quality control characterize the Bilstein shock absorber production process. At Bilstein over 40% of the production personnel are involved with quality control to maintain their industry-leading level of shock absorber efficiency and long life performance.
In this pursuit of excellence, Bilstein has received worldwide acclaim for quality shock absorbers that have set new industry standards. Setting high standards has always been a top priority with Bilstein and a consistent set of parameters and performance guidelines go into the development of each Bilstein shock application.
Bilstein engineers meld proven methods with advanced technologies for products that pass the test of time.

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
China's Zheijiang Medicine Company (ZMC) is paying Taiwanese firm TaiGen Biotechnology $8 million up front for exclusive Chinese rights (excluding Hong Kong and Macau) to the latter's Phase III-stage antibiotic nemonaxacin. The broad-spectrum nonfluorinated quinolone drug is in development primarily for community acquired pneumonia (CAP) and diabetic foot ulcers.
Under terms of the agreement TaiGen will complete the Phase III study that is ongoing in China against CAP, and retains full global development rights to nemonaxacin outside ZMC's licensed territories. The firm will received additional development milestones and sales royalties. ZMC will manufacture and market the drug in China through its wholly owned subsidiary XinChang Pharmaceuticals.
"This partnership will not only set a new record for pharmaceutical licensing involving a Taiwanese and a mainland Chinese company but hopefully will also become a model for future collaborations," remarks Ming-Chu Hsu, M.D., TaiGen's president and CEO. "With the conclusion of the partnership in China we will actively pursue nemonoxacin licensing discussions in other territories such as the EU."
TaiGen's lead compound nemonoxacin has a broad spectrum of activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and atypical pathogens, including MRSA and VRSA strains. An oral formulation of the drug is undergoing Phase II development in the U.S. both for treating CAP, and diabetic foot ulcer. In addition to the ongoing Phase III trial in China evaluating oral nemonoxacin against CAP, an IV formulation is also in earlier-stage clinical development for the CAP indication.
TaiGen's second clinical candidate burixafor (TG-0054) is a chemokine receptor antagonist in development as a stem cell mobilizer. The drug is in early clinical development for potential applications in stem cell transplantation, chemosensitization, ischemic tissue repair, and ocular neovascularization. A Phase II trial stem cell transplantation in cancer patients has been initiated.

Hello, all you bakers. I stumbled upon this fabulous website while browsing KAF. I was given an Artisan KA mixer as a gift and JUMPED into the art of bread baking. Baked ciabatta (a moderate failure, but taste was good), baguettes (witha correct pan-you know-the one with the holes), which we turned into brushetta), and parker house rolls. I find that all you bakers have so much knowledge I'm not familiar with. Can you recommend a book or website that speaks to me in primary school terms?

In general, a makerspace is a community center with tools and resources for creating just about anything. There are many different kinds of makerspaces throughout the world. Some are more focused on computers and electronics while others are more about arts and crafts. Many makerspaces, however, are more generic in nature and cater to many types of making. The one thing they all have in common is they all promote an open environment where people can come together to work on projects, learn new skills, and meet new people who share their interests.
As we all know, the Greater Houston Area is very 'great' in size. It's got everything but you'll drive 30 minutes to get to anything. Luckily, makerspaces have been popping up all over town, so chances are there is one near you. If you live on the west side, that's where we come in. Located just north of Downtown Katy, we are the Katy Makerspace.
Our makerspace caters to all creators, tinkerers, inventors, hackers, and makers. There are several work areas and many specialized tools available. Here is a summary of what we currently have to offer:

In the Preface of A Primer of Peripheral Vascular Diseases the authors clearly state their purpose—"to provide a framework"— and in general they have accomplished this purpose.
The first seven chapters dealing with physiology are succinct and clear with simple and pertinent diagrams. The chapter on blood coagulation unfortunately seems too abbreviated in light of the importance of thrombosis in peripheral vascular disease. In the chapter on methods of study, less than one page is devoted to radiographic techniques; this section would be improved considerably by more detail, particularly if additional illustrations and more attention to interpretation of angiograms were given. Certainly, angiography is one of the most important developments in peripheral vascular disease in recent years and is finding increasing clinical application.
A chapter on therapy is presented before the history and physical examination are considered. This "cart before the horse" approach is a bit awkward but is no

Some players have what it takes to put up big points in the postseason. Whether it's due to more ice time, great linemate chemistry, soft opponents, good luck or clutch play, some NHLers know how to light the lamp when the time is right.
Who is doing it this year?
Calculating which players exceeding expectations in the postseason is simple. Everyone's regular-season scoring rate was multiplied by the number of games they played in the postseason. The result was then compared to each player's actual points total and then ranked in order from highest to lowest.
How did they do it? Some players like Bryan Bickell got promoted to the top line, and others like Anze Kopitar got great new linemates. Also, depth players like Shawn Horcoff took advantage of some mistakes, while a couple of Canadiens just simply caught fire.
Whatever the reason, each of the 10 players featured on this list exceeded their regular-season scoring rate by a wide margin of at least four points in the postseason.
Let's begin!

They are all dyslexic. Are you?
Did you know that a lot of kids have trouble learning to read?
I had trouble. I didn't understand why. I just thought I wasn't smart. That's how I felt before my parents had me tested.
See, many people who have a hard time learning how to read have something called dyslexia. Dyslexia is simply a difference in the way your brain hears sounds and then attaches these sounds to letters. Just like some kids need glasses in order to see the bricks on a wall, some kids need special teaching in order to hear the sounds that make up a word. And then translate those sounds into letters that make words.

The Effects of Multicultural Diversity in Real Estate Brokerage

Journal of Real Estate Research Vol. 25, No. 4, 2003
This study examines the changing diversity of home buyers and the steps brokerage firms are taking to adapt to these changes. The results reveal that larger firms are experiencing a greater increase in customer diversity. This can be partly explained by their efforts to target diverse groups through sponsored seminars and hiring minority sales professionals. A survey of minority home buyers reveals that minorities have owned fewer homes, earn less and are younger than their non-minority counterparts. Race and income were found to significantly explain reports of greater difficulty on the road to home ownership.

By Caroline Valetkevitchyog-llu
NEW YORK - Stocks jumped more than 1 percent on Tuesday, a day after their worst decline since November, as gold prices rebounded and earnings from Coca-Cola and Johnson & Johnson improved the outlook for first-quarter results.
Inflation data, which reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve will keep its stimulus plan in place, added to bullish sentiment.
The price of gold jumped 1 percent after its record daily drop in dollar terms on Monday. The SPDR Gold Shares ETF
The market's advance followed the S&P 500's drop of more than 2 percent drop on Monday, giving the index its worst one-day percentage loss since November 7. The S&P 500 is up 10.4 percent since the start of the year after enjoying a strong first-quarter run, partly as a result of the Fed's continued stimulus efforts.
"Yesterday I think was a bit out of line ... But I think the trend is that the market is consolidating, that we're going to see a little bit of a pullback here over the next month and a half or so, and then we'll get on to greener pastures," said Brian Amidei, managing director at HighTower Advisors in Palm Desert, California.
Coca-Cola Co
The stock of Johnson & Johnson
S&P 500 earnings are now expected to have risen 1.8 percent in the first quarter, based on actual results from 42 companies and estimates for the rest, up from a recent estimate of 1.1 percent growth.
The Dow Jones industrial average <.dji> jumped 157.58 points, or 1.08 percent, to close at 14,756.78. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index <.spx> gained 22.21 points, or 1.43 percent, to finish at 1,574.57. The Nasdaq Composite Index <.ixic> rose 48.14 points, or 1.50 percent, to end at 3,264.63.
Of the 30 Dow components, only two ended the day lower.

On Monday, a drop in the price of gold and other commodities triggered a sharp selloff in stocks. But stocks fell further late in the session after news of two fatal explosions near the finish line of the Boston Marathon.
The S&P 500's slide on Monday took the index back to a range it had held for about a month. Yet the index closed on Tuesday above its 14-day moving average.
In Tuesday's session, U.S.-listed shares of Randgold Resources
Analysts' positive views on basic materials companies also helped the sector.
International Paper
Further supporting stocks, data showed the U.S. Consumer Price Index fell in March for the first time in four months, giving the Federal Reserve room to maintain its monetary stimulus to speed up economic growth.
A separate report showed U.S. housing starts rose 7.0 percent last month to an annual rate of 1.04 million units, the highest in nearly five years.
An index of housing stocks <.hgx> jumped 2.6 percent.

I would like to change the formatting (specifically text color) for an entire row based on which selection is chosen from a drop down list in Column C. Example:
If C2 equals 'XX'(one of the selections from the drop down list) then A2:G2 will have pink text, but if C2 equals 'AA' then A2:G2 will have blue text... and so on where BB = red, CC = Orange, DD = Green.... until all 8 selections from the drop down box in Column C are assigned a different color. I can only get it to work for up to two colors. Can anyone help me with this formula? I would like it to apply to up to 30 rows.

Circulation Services
All University Libraries services
Students, faculty, and staff may borrow circulating library materials using their valid U of L ID cards. Non-U of L borrowers may apply for a community patron borrowing card.
Recalls and Holds
Any U of L patron may ask for a checked out item to be recalled for their use. A simple hold may be requested at any time. Non-U of L patrons may request a hold for needed materials charged to other patrons. When the item is returned, the library will send notification of its availability.
Searches and Claims
If a patron cannot locate a book or score listed in the catalog as being on the shelf, we encourage the patron to initiate an internal search for the item at the Circulation Desk. The Circulation Staff will search for the item and will notify the patron of the search results. If a patron receives overdue or fine notices for items believed to be returned, the patron may initiate a Claims Returned Search at the Circulation Desk. Again, the Library Staff will search for the items and notify the patron of the results.
Overdue materials & Fines
When a patron has overdue materials, circulation privileges are automatically blocked at all libraries within the University system, replacement fees are assessed, and a hold is placed on the patron's UofL Bursar account. These blocks remain in effect until the overdue materials are returned or replacement costs are paid.
Non-Circulating Materials
Periodicals, Reference, Seminar Area, and Archive Room materials do not circulate. Exceptions to this policy are granted only by the music library director. In addition, selected materials in the regular stacks are designated as Non-Circulating. Information-file materials also remain in the library.
Authorized Users (Proxy Patrons)
Sometimes, library patrons need to have other people come to the library and check out materials for them. For example, a professor may need his/her assistant to complete research on their behalf. All authorized user requests are processed at Ekstrom Library, but privileges will be extended to all University Libraries in accordance with their policies.

Skip to comments.John Templeton Foundation awards $2.8 million to examine origins of biological complexity
Posted on 01/02/2006 4:14:37 AM PST by PatrickHenry
The mechanisms driving the process of evolution have always been subject to rigorous scientific debate. Growing in intensity and scope, this debate currently spans a broad range of disciplines including archaeology, biochemistry, computer modeling, genetics & development and philosophy.
A recent $2.8 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation to the Cambridge Templeton Consortium [link] is providing the resources for further investigation into this complex and fascinating area. The funds will support 18 new grant awards to scientists, social scientists and philosophers examining how complexity has emerged in biological systems.
Attracting 150 applications, the grant process has generated much interest from a wide range of disciplines. Unique in the interdisciplinary nature of their applicants, the Cambridge Consortium grants will encourage and enable high quality research that approaches the issue from many angles, and will also sponsor collaborative work by people from different academic specialties. All of the work will study how biological systems (molecular, cellular, social etc) become more complex as they evolve.
"This is clearly an emerging area of science, and we are pleased that these grants are specifically aimed at encouraging work that would not easily fall under the parameters of any other grant-awarding body," says Consortium Chairman, Professor Derek Burke.
Questions to be addressed by the projects include:
* Why are biologists so afraid of asking 'why' questions, when physicists do it all the time?Among the institutions receiving grants from the Cambridge Templeton Consortium are Duke University, Harvard University Medical School, University of California, San Francisco, University of Cambridge, UK, and Australian National University.
* Can experiments using a digital evolutionary model answer why intelligence evolved, but artificial intelligence has been so hard to build?
* What lessons can rock art and material remains teach us about the development of human self-awareness?
* Can the geometric ordering of specific sheets of cells throw light on the questions currently being raised about design in nature?
* What principles allow individuals to develop social and colonial organizations?
The mission of the John Templeton Foundation is to pursue new insights at the boundary between theology and science through a rigorous, open-minded and empirically focused methodology, drawing together talented representatives from a wide spectrum of fields of expertise. Founded in 1987, the Foundation annually provides more than $60 million in funding on behalf of work in human sciences and character development, science and theology research, as well as free enterprise programs and awards worldwide. For more information about the Templeton Foundation, go to www.templeton.org [link.].

Now there's an eloquent utterance.
You do neither yourself nor your side any credit with such statements.
Your post left me ecstatic.
Bees do this with incredible specificity AND communicate their knowledge with almost no brain at all.
Long distance walking--not to say hunting, but the opportunity was there--predates big brains by at least two million years.
This is a known hunting technique that is still done occasionally, if rarely. It is not unknown among some American Indians.
A human does not have the sprint speed, but they can keep up a cross-country jog for hours without rest if they are in decent shape. Integrated over many hours, a human can sustain a higher average speed than most other land critters. Humans are also smart enough that even though other animals can lose them in a sprint, a human can relocate the animal and continue the chase. A large animal has a hard time losing a dedicated human tracker familiar with the landscape. Humans have both the endurance and brains to pull off this unusual but effective style of hunting. If you think about it, this is a very useful hunting adaptation that takes advantage of evolutionary bias toward predators that can only sprint -- humans have an evolutionary bias that defeats a broad pattern in nature and have the brains to make it work.
While I've never hunted like this myself, I understand that when you catch up with the animal (which usually takes hours), they are so thoroughly exhausted that you can dispatch them with a knife with relatively little risk.
Yeah, but ignoring the bee thing, or the army ant thing (which I think is mostly chemistry), hunting in packs requires social cooperation over a long period of time. It can take a day or two to chase a deer to exhaustion, as its sprints become progressively shorter. This goal-oriented cooperation requires some brain size. We've got it. Wolves (and dogs) have it. It's been said that this is why, of all the beasts in the world, we get along best with dogs.
On the hairlessness issue, I think I agree with you. Evaporation of sweat is important. Dogs pant, we sweat. Bye bye pelt.
Also very important for brain function; the brain would cook itself if it was not for aggressive cooling mechanisms. One of the evolutionary enablers of larger brains in the chain of species that led to homo sapien was progressively improving adaptations for rapid heat transport from the brain area.
This behavior is not that long ago in our past. I'm pretty sure I've read that Julius Caesar could move his legions over 20 miles a day, mostly jogging but with periodic "rest" periods of mere marching -- always with full packs, of course. At the end of a day's march they could fight a battle or build a fort. Then do the same thing the next day ...
His superiors and the union troops he usually whipped were impressed. His footsore soldiers weren't so fond of the whole deal.
Shatner really has to quit making these Star Trek movies. It's just not credible anymore.
Welcome to the Festival of Dover Depressed Dingbats, who have nothing to offer except juvenile bathroom humor in response to the facts brought out at the trial.
Cagey? I clearly stated you guys don't like questioning. Kinda like...
Other researchers have looked within animals' genomes to analyze adaptation at the genetic level. In various places in the Northern Hemisphere, for example, marine stickleback fish were scattered among landlocked lakes as the last Ice Age ended. Today, their descendants have evolved into dozens of different species, but each has independently lost the armor plates needed for protection from marine predators. Researchers expected that the gene responsible would vary from lake to lake. Instead, they found that each group of stranded sticklebacks had lost its armor by the same mechanism: a rare DNA defect affecting a signaling molecule involved in the development of dermal bones and teeth. That single preexisting variant--rare in the open ocean--allowed the fish to adapt rapidly to a new environment.
Separated groups, same mechanism a rare DNA defect.(it isn't rare if they all had it)
Clearly you're mistaking Wilhelmina for her brother.
Did you hear him on late night TV recently? He was asked by the host if the rest of the Star Trek cast had any inkling that George Takai ("Sulu") was a homosexual.
Shatner: "Oh, we all had a pretty good idea..."
Host: "How did you know?"
Shatner: "Well, whenever the rest of us set our phasers on 'STUN,' George would set his to 'FABULOUS'!"
Different words, same sentiment. I mentioned Dr. Shapiro and "Phina" for a reason. One asks questions, the other is part of a fire brigade.
Here anomaly!
There anomaly!
Everywhere a nomaly nomaly!
Ol' witch doctor had a mask!
Kind of interesting that the Templeton Foundation is funding research into evolution in that haven't evolutionists been claiming that evolution is a fact. if it was a fact, why does it need further research?
Oh, that's right; evolutionists admit that evolution isn't a fact. The $2.8 million will not lead to any evidence proving evolution.
And this has been known for as long as I can remember. Why, then, are the estimated times for ancient human expansions always so long? I mean, once humans had set foot on Eurasia from Africa, why wouldn't they have wandered over the entire continent in just a few hundred years?
Well, that is expected of you. You are of the second group, so you are understandably confused by legitimate curiosity.
Here anomaly!
There anomaly!
Everywhere a nomaly nomaly!
Ol' witch doctor had a mask!
Perhaps a slight contrast to another cast member already mentioned?
I was simply commenting that it appears the Templeton Foundation is willing to fund research that might confirm/prove evolution.
As you certainly must know, it has been my long-held position that both evolution and ID are models rather than theories.
The question implies that anything established as fact need not and should not be researched. Science thus should NEVER ask "Why?" if you're right. The only legitimate question is "Is that fact or non-fact?"
I'd guess most research is aimed at understanding something we know to be true but not necessarily why it is true. As we sometimes patiently explain to creationists here, "Theories do not grow up to be laws. Theories explain laws."
Anyway, you can fight it out with those of your side condemning evolutionists for never asking "Why?" We seem to be getting it from both sides just now.
Your puzzlement is reflective of some misconception that science is reasoned and argued the way religion seems to be, from supposedly revealed authority and supposedly unshakeable fact. That's why people from your side are always telling us evolution is religion. That may appear true if you think everything is about religion, or you just don't know any other way of approaching things.
.500 is good in baseball.
Questions to be addressed by the projects include:
* Why are biologists so afraid of asking 'why' questions, when physicists do it all the time?
* Can experiments using a digital evolutionary model answer why intelligence evolved, but artificial intelligence has been so hard to build?
* What lessons can rock art and material remains teach us about the development of human self-awareness?
* Can the geometric ordering of specific sheets of cells throw light on the questions currently being raised about design in nature?
* What principles allow individuals to develop social and colonial organizations?
Scientific research questions??
These questions would be debunked in the first week of a first year Philosophy course.
Your 'knowledge' as to the truth of evolution is really based on a considerable amount of faith. You believe evolution is true, but you do not know why it is true. If fact, it may not be true at all. sounds like a religion to me. Of course, I am obviously referring to macro-evolution.
Jeepers ... that bad? Thanks for the ping!
and barefooted. When you're catching fish and shellfish by hand and trying to get to the seaweed before it bakes not to mention the occasional beached whale, you've got to stay on the move.
It is said that no land animal can outdistance a well-conditioned human.
A herd of horses, gazelle, etc; can outrun a tribe of humans for days but the persistent humans on the trail will eventually come up on a herd too exhausted to run and can pick off the weakest at will. I'm sure that played a big part in pre-modern evolution even with the questions of shoes, predators, and lack of home base. The problem of home base would be partially solved by running a herd into a valley or perhaps a beach peninsula (which would reduce problems with sore feet and predators).
Back to the beach. Wouldn't a diet of high protien seafood supplemented with seaweed and grains contribute to brain growth? I'm a layman here to learn and the idea I'm getting is that apes live in the jungle, bipedal hominids evolved on the savannahs and plains, but the very small group from which modern humans decended made the first of their two major evolutions on the beach. The 2nd "great leap forward" occured after glacier melt opened the Eurasian rivers.
Sorry about the lack of spell check there...
It's based on the "faith" that evidence means something. We have lots of evidence.
An excellent example! As I recall from reading, he marched his men over 600 miles in 12 days fighting several large battles and about 40 skirmishes along the way. He motivated his men by shooting stragglers. There's a famous anecdote where his soldiers with bleeding feet asked for shoes and he told them that if they wanted shoes they should kill a yankee. Back on subject, it's a clear example of a large group of humans averaging over 50 miles a day for a moderately extended period of time with the only real problem being sore feet for the ones who were out of shape.
Not nearly as much evidence as there exists for the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Sure we know why. It's called natural selection.
Looks like William Shatner to me.
I have no problem with natural selection. Natural selection is no explanation for macro-evolution.
Gosh, what an obnoxious post.
Recall Sulu's quote from the beginning of Star Trek IV:
"San Francisco. I was born there."
It all makes sense now.
I'm really shattered over this. Now, whenever I see a rerun from the original series, and Kirk says: "Standard orbit, Mr. Sulu," I'll imagine that Sulu is thinking: Yeah, pretty boy, standard orbit around Uranus!
Uh oh!
Social scientists and philosophers are fine so long as they admit the limits of applicability of their conclusions (just like any other practice, including the natural sciences, or even religion, for that matter).
Social scientists themselves aren't always the culprits; it's usually the (generally liberal) activists who are too eager overextrapolate the usefulness of their 'theories'.

Ron Paul money bomb on May 5th, 2011! Google "Debate Day Ron Paul"!
What amazes me is msnbc is a leftist demo news media, even they see Ron Paul as the cure.
Wow. For any political commentator to say that to a potential candidate is amazing. That last minute was fantastic and is definitely what the less informed viewers need to hear. Hopefully they will begin to do their homework on who this Ron Paul is now and they don't need to do much because he is so transparent and his message and principles are so simple to understand.
Inflation is profit gained by the Fed. The FRB of NY received $8.4 trillion last year from the auction of Treasury securities—OFF OF THE BOOKS–without any mention in the ANNUAL REPORT TO CONGRESS or to the public ! Its embezzlement ! The Ponzi scheme Fed inflict perpetual indebtedness on society and confiscate the wealth of the people while impelling the nation to national bankruptcy. The mathematical inevitability is at RIP OFF BY THE FED RESERVE Posted 3W scribd dot com message 48194264
Ron Paul does it again. He stated that there would not be a shutdown. RIght he was for the moment.
Everyone please watch a new YouTube Video:
How To Take Our Country Back
It is time to be on the OFFENSE against the Federal Reserve!! Please forward this new educational video to EVERYONE you know. Love to all, Mary, alias Lady Liberty
This man cured my apathy~~Run Ron RUN
Ron Paul fiscally conservative and socially a liberal.
Everyone NEEDS TO FIND THETINYDOT one word on youtube here! Get and watch that.. It HELPS FOR DUMMIES!!!
I sure hope Mr Paul runs for prez, it would be an honor voting for him .
Like or Dislike: 1 0
Ron Paul, you have my vote. Just run for president.
Like a gunshot victim who is shot through the heart and doesn't know they are "walking dead", so is the USSA economy. The Federal Reserve as "Federal" as Federal Express is hoping that it's last ditch effort to shell out the "Owe"bama bucks will do the trick. It is only pushing the day of reckoning a littler further out and once it hits it's going to be bad. I am glad I quit my job as a cop and left the USSA. Ron Paul is a modern day founding father and is one of the few who shouldn't be hung.
my page owns paultards!
Every one loves Ron Paul now! People might actually be waking up.
Here we will see more bartering as the $ collapses.People drink more during hard times so spirits can become a medium of exchange.Honey will also store for years and not spoil at room temperature. Foods will appreciate so nuts,potatoes etc can also be traded. When you can eat/drink your currency,this is a bonus.
Americans need to make a list of all tradable items which will store for a long time.The obivious ones like silver or gold may not be plentiful enough to act as currency.With the internet ,goods/services can be traded more readily,linking buyers and sellers. Things like copper could be used as currency and thus a hedge against inflation. Consider also other semi-precious metals like tin, zinc, nickel etc
So who has some more good suggestions.
He has always supported Paul. When has he been against?
i like him he looked very honest,i am all for it as long as he worships god , not the devil,.i don't know him or his past so will have to check that out. but i am really tired of all these horn people,our world is close to being taken over by these devil worshipers. and i don't like it.so he has my vote i am in Mississippi
Its sad that ron pauls videos don't have many views. but i hope he does run for pres in 2012.
IRS TAX TIP 2011-33 says: "The FAIR MARKET VALUE of bartered goods or services must be reported on your tax return.
This means that you do not have the right to set the value of your labor or service independent of "THE MARKET". A barter is an EVEN TRADE and NO 3rd Party has the right force their valuation on your service, labor, or personal property.

To more efficiently discover drugs, companies now increasingly apply these technologies in order to find the right drug for the right patient. These efforts are leading to the gradual realization of personalized medicine across the globe.
One of the forces driving the development of personalized medicine is genomic and proteomic research. Genomics and proteomics directly facilitate the development of new biomarkers and diagnostic tools. Moreover, genomics and proteomics are also increasingly employed in the development of translational medicines as the technologies can lead to the discovery of antibody-based biomarkers that are able to predict not only the efficacy but also the safety of a drug candidate.
Currently, there are about 250 Chinese companies involved in genomic and proteomic research and its application in the development of biomarkers and diagnostic products. Of these companies, about 70% were founded in the last three to five years. A large portion (about 25%) of these firms were either founded by foreign companies as their wholly owned Chinese divisions or jointly founded with local Chinese partners. Among the companies founded by Chinese entrepreneurs, a majority (about 80%) were founded by "sea turtles" who possess knowledge, experience, and skills gained from working abroad.
In the past, genomic and proteomic research in China was mainly conducted at the country's research institutions. The Chinese government realized the potential of these technologies early on and has provided financial support and favorable policies.
The current capabilities of Chinese companies pursuing genomic and proteomic research include the development of reagents for measuring molecular events such as intracellular pathways, cell signaling, and gene expression, and development of nucleic acid-based biochips that can be integrated into next-generation diagnostic products.
Some companies also provide service for DNA synthesis, pathway profiling of lead compounds, assay development, and high-content/-throughput screening. Their capabilities in proteomic research include protein expression, protein structural determination, molecular cloning for construction of monoclonal antibodies, and synthesis of gene vectors.
Using their skills and experience in genomics and proteomics, some companies also provide services for target identification and validation to help drug companies elucidate disease-causing mechanisms. A number of Chinese organizations also possess large-scale genetic databases resulting from genome/proteome sequencing. With their strong capability in bioinformatics, these organizations also provide custom service to outside companies.
At present the majority of China-based companies conducting genomic and proteomic research are focusing on the development of diagnostic products including testing reagents and kits for hospital and/or laboratory use. Most of the products are for in vitro use and were developed based on nucleic acid technologies.
A growing number of China-based companies also offer diagnostic testing services, including quantitative- and real-time PCR-based diagnostic assays.
So far we have not seen any evidence that Chinese biotech companies are capable of independently developing (including identification and validation) biomarkers to support clinical research. A number of them do, however, possess the ability to detect and analyze biomarkers.
This shortcoming is related to the industry's short service history. The majority of these Chinese biotech firms are still limited in service scope, capability, capacity, and experience compared with their counterparts in the developed countries. Currently, only a small number of them could be considered world-class players.

Comments about 'Why Peter Jackson's 'Lord of the Rings' succeeded as an adaptation'

No stranger to the books I eagerly anticipated the LOTR films. Looking back
now, there are some things that I love about the films while I loathe other
aspects. I expect the same to hold true for this next trilogy, though I do
think The Hobbit and its more focused storyline should translate to a screenplay
better. This being PJ's second go round on a trilogy I also expect the
knowledge and experience he now has will be evident in the new films, that they
will be tighter and more polished.
I don't mind changes if they make sense. I do mind if the changes are made for cheap gains i.e. cool stunt or to throw a curve ball at those who are already familiar with the story....Let the story speak for itself....

Books are books, movies are movies...If Tolkien's son wanted something
better, why hasn't he done it? Where are the new "finished"
manuscripts? Easy to criticize success...
Love the films...very very entertaining, they don't need to be the book. The Book is a book.
At least Jackson didn't do to Rings, what Lucas did to Star Wars 1-3. Talk about a money grab.

The Lord of the Rings trilogy are the greatest films ever made. Absolutely magnificent in every way. I am in eager anticipation of the Hobbit films. As far as I am concerned, Peter Jackson as well as James Cameron are the greatest filmmakers in Hollywood. On another note, Michael Bay is the absolute worst filmmaker in Hollywood. He completely butchered the Transformers movies. He took a nostalgic toy and cartoon for those of us that grew up in the 80s and destroyed it with his film adaptations. The Transformers films (the first one is slightly okay) might by the worst films ever made and I wish that wasn't the case.

Yeah, Jackson made some action films that were kinda cool. Could have been much, much better. Basically he made them for the very dumbed down crowd. Yeah, he tore the heart out of Tolkien's masterpiece. And it's unfortunate, because he got the look right. Tolkien for the A.D.D crowd. Oh well.

When adapting a book, "purists" are the last people one should try to
please. When I heard that LOTR was being filmed way back in 1999, I bought the
books and read them. I thought they were a lot of fun and could see why they
were so beloved, but at the same time I found myself hoping that certain things
would be changed, as I couldn't see them working in a mass-market film.
In my estimation, most of the songs had to go, as they would have seemed embarassingly twee to all but the hard-core Tolkienites. Interesting yet non-essential characters like Tom Bombadil should've probably been cut, and (here I risk the ire of the purists) I was crossing my fingers that the scouring of the Shire would be omitted. I get why the faithful disagree, but as part of the story it was absolutely anti-climactic.
To the disappointed, look at it this way . . how many people ended up reading the books after seeing the films? A lot, no? To me, that reduces your quibbles to trivia.

The problem I cannot figure out is I can upload images to posts and pages but it will not place anything than the full size images I uploaded. It generates the thumbs and mid size files and names them -150x150 and -300x300 as it is spoused to. Clicking on the place thumb or place medium radio buttons does not work. In the path indicator at the bottom of the WYSIWYG window it indicates it is a tumbnail or medium size image. When you place [gallery] in the post it places all the full size images insted of the thumbs.
Thanks in advance

In Scala I can use the concept of phantom types (as described e.g. here) to mark types and have this information erased at runtime. I wonder whether it is possible to mark primitive types with phantom types without having them boxed.
An example could be a function that lets an Int only pass if it is a prime. The signature might look similar to the following:
def filterPrime(i: Int): Option[Int with IsPrime]
The function returns the value
Some(i) if
i is prime or
None else.
Is the stated idea possible to implement in Scala without boxing the primitive integer?

Work Closely With Your Doctor - Learn All You Can From Your Doctor
In the hospital
Being in the hospital can be even more stressful than an office visit. And stress makes it even harder to process information.
If you think of questions when the doctor isn't there, write them down so that you can remember to ask them. This is important because your doctor may come by only once a day. Any questions you forget to ask might have to wait until the next day.
It can also help to have a friend or family member in the room when you expect your doctor or another provider to visit. This person can help you remember things you wanted to ask and may think of questions you haven't thought of.

One News Corp. Hacking Case Set for Trial
LONDON— News Corp.'s U.K. tabloid newspaper unit has settled nine more of the first batch of civil cases it faces for phone-hacking at the News of the World, leaving a suit by singer Charlotte Church as the only case currently set to go to trial.
At a hearing on Wednesday, High Court judge Geoffrey Vos said News Corp. had settled 54 of the 60 civil phone-hacking claims that victims had filed before the Oct. 3, 2011, deadline the court set for the first "round" of legal actions to be considered. Nine were settled recently. Five of the cases can't proceed to trial as yet because of what lawyers describe as "technical issues."
That leaves just Ms. Church's case, slated to go to trial on Feb. 27.
Still, the barrage of civil litigation News Corp. faces in relation to illegal voice-mail interception by its now-closed News of the World tabloid appears far from abating.
Hugh Tomlinson, a lawyer for many of the victims, told the court Wednesday that there are another six filed phone-hacking claims and another 50 soon-to-be-filed claims which await consideration for a second "round" of legal action. That is because those claims weren't submitted to the court before the declared October deadline.
News Corp. owns The Wall Street Journal.
Michael Silverleaf, a lawyer representing News Group Newspapers, the U.K. tabloid newspaper unit of News Corp., on Wednesday pushed for Ms. Church's trial to be delayed, but the judge denied the request.
"If there is a hard nut to crack, it is my duty to try and crack it," Mr. Vos, the judge, said. "I really do think there is an expectation that we will have this trial."
Ms. Church brought the civil claim in conjunction with her parents, Maria and James Church. Among the questions at issue in the Church case is whether the News of the World's activities caused the family to sell a pub in Wales and whether they exacerbated a medical condition suffered by Maria Church, lawyers told the court Wednesday.
The main legal issue at stake in the trial is whether, or to what extent, the court should award exemplary damages to victims—or "extra" damages that a court sometimes orders to punish and make an example of a defendant, when the defendant has acted purposefully in a malicious or reckless manner.
The Church case is also significant because it is the first phone-hacking victim trial to proceed to court since the scandal around the News of the World grew into a public furor last July. News Corp has settled all other civil proceedings before they have reached a public airing in court. On the criminal side, the police investigation remains ongoing, so no trials have taken place.
At the hearing, David Sherbourne, lawyer for the Church family, said that the family wants the case to go to trial as quickly as possible.
The court also heard the details of a number of recently struck settlements on Wednesday. Comedian Steve Coogan received £40,000 ($63,319); sports agent Skylet Andrew received £75,000; and soccer player Paul Gascoigne, known as "Gazza," received £68,000.
News Group Newspapers, which apologized to the victims, also agreed to pay their legal costs.

Bimbofred, probably the most flexible way is to create a function that handles actions you want to take after your song/sound is completed. You can call this function from the onSoundComplete method. That way you can either make the function call the sound again or perform another action depending on other variables that may be present.

I've spent all these weeks getting to know who my competitors are, without even thinking about who my teammates are. Now a new confidence is lighting up inside me, because I think I finally know who Haymitch is. And I'm beginning to know who I am. And surely, two people who have caused the Capitol so much trouble can think of a way to get Peeta home alive.
I look up into those blue eyes that no amount of dramatic makeup can make truly deadly and remember how, just a year ago, I was prepared to kill him. Convinced he was trying to kill me. Now everything is reversed. I'm determined to keep him alive, knowing the cost will be my own life, but the part of me that is not so brave as I could wish is glad that it's Peeta, not Haymitch, beside me.
The berries. I realize the answer to who I am lies in that handful of poisonous fruit. If I held them out to save Peeta because I knew I would be shunned if I came back without him, I am despicable. If I held them out because I loved him, I am still self-centered, although forgivable. But if I held them out to defy the Capitol, I am someone of worth. The trouble is, I don't know exactly what was going on inside me at that moment.

This is the first time I realize the depth of betrayal felt among the victors and the rage that accompanies it. But they are so smart, so wonderfully smart about how they play it, because it all comes back to reflect on the government and President Snow in particular. Not everyone. There are the old throwbacks, like Brutus and Enobaria, who are just here for another Games, and those too baffled or drugged or lost to join in on the attack. But there are enough victors who still have the wits and the nerve to come out fighting.

Yes, victors are our strongest. They're the ones who survived the arena and slipped the noose of poverty that strangles the rest of us. They, or should I say we, are the very embodiment of hope where there is no hope. And now twenty-three of us will be killed to show how even that hope was an illusion.

He embraces me, enfolding me in the smell of blood and roses, and plants a puffy kiss on my cheek. when he pulls back, his fingers digging into my arms, his face smiling into mine, I dare to raise my eyebrows. The ask what my lips can't. Did I do it? Was it enough?
These are the people of the Capitol from Catching Fire.
President Snow: The President of Panem, Snow is a small man with white hair, snakelike eyes, & overpuffed lips. President Snow rarely leaves the Capitol, but he makes an exception when someone isn't cooperating with the Capitol. President Snow is a ruthless leader who smells of blood & roses.
(Art: martinacecilia)
Seneca Crane: The Head Gamemaker for the 74th Hunger Games, Seneca Crane was the one who allowed 2 tributes from the same district to be victors. This didn't make President Snow very happy. It is believed Seneca was killed for what happened in the 74th Games.
Ceasar Flickerman: The master of ceremonies for the Hunger Games, Ceasar Flickerman is a larger than life personality. He conducts interviews with victors & tributes, trying his best to make each one look their best.
(Art: leabharlann)
Plutarch Heavensbee: The new Head Gamemaker for the 75th Hunger Games. Before he became Head Gamemaker, Plutarch Heavensbee was a Gamemaker for the 74th Games. During the private training session for Katniss Everdeen, Plutarch fell back into a punch bowl after she shot an arrow into the Gamemakers' feast.
Atala: The woman in charge of the Training Center, Atala is responsible for organizing the tributes during the training sessions before each Games.
Tax: The man in charge of archery in the Training Center, Tax was very impressed with Katniss' skills during the 74th Hunger Games. He tries to make archery training more difficult for Katniss during the 3rd Quarter Quell.
(Art: 13foxywolf666)
Claudius Templesmith: The announcer for the Hunger Games. Claudius Templesmith is responsible for all the announcements in the arena.

Of my mockingjay pin and how it means something completely different now that I know that its former owner was Madge's aunt, Maysilee Donner, a tribute who was murdered in the arena.

My prep team. My foolish, shallow, affectionate pets, with their obsessions with feathers and parties, nearly break my heart with their good-bye. It's certain from Venia's last words that we all know I won't be returning. Does the whole world know it? I wonder. I look at Cinna. He knows, certainly. But as he promised, there's no danger of tears from him.
These are the people who help the District 12 Victors & Mentors.
(Art: Leabharlann)
Effie Trinket: She has been the escort for District 12 for all Hunger Games related events. She's responsible for getting her tributes, victors, & mentors where they need to be on time. Along with her energetic personality, she is a very positive person with Capitol style. She enjoys wearing a variety of wigs to coordinate with her outfits. Effie also considers herself to be a bit of an expert on architectural design.
Octavia: She is the member of Katniss' prep team that has changed the most since the 74th Hunger Games. Her skin is no longer a pea green shade, but rather a light evergreen color. Octavia has always been curvy, but has become a little plumper than Katniss remembers.
Flavius: A member of Katniss Everdeen's prep team for all Hunger Games events, Flavius is known for his orange corkscrew curly hair & his purple lipstick. Since the 74th Games, Flavius has been desperate to alter Katniss for a more Capitol look. The members of the prep team have been enjoying their notoriety since the previous Games.
(Art: muggleriot)
Venia: Another member of Katniss' prep team, Venia seems to be stronger than the other two. She styles her aqua hair into spikes all over her head. The gold tattoos on her face used to be confined to above her eyebrows, but now curl around under her eyes. This makes her look perpetually shocked.
Portia: The stylist for Peeta Mellark since the beginning of the 74th Games. Not much is known about Portia, except that she collaborates with Cinna on costume designs for District 12.
(Art: Catching-Smoke)
When my hair is done, I find Cinna downstairs in the living room, and just the sight of him makes me feel more hopeful.
Cinna: The stylist for Katniss Everdeen since the 74th Hunger Games, Cinna is unlike other Capitol citizens. He avoids the outrageous outfits & body modifications, instead choosing to wear simple clothes, keep his natural brown hair short, and only using a hint of gold eyeliner to bring out the gold flecks in his eyes. Since the end of the 74th Games, Cinna has been helping Katniss "develop" her talent for clothing design.

There's an inherent flaw in the plan that both Gale and I were too blind to see. An uprising requires breaking the law, thwarting authority. We've done that our whole lives, or our families have. Poaching, trading on the black market, mocking the Capitol in the woods. But for most people in District 12, a trip to buy something at the Hob would be too risky. And I expect them to assemble in the square with bricks and torches? Even the sight of Peeta and me is enough to make people pull their children away from the windows and draw the curtains tightly.
These are some of the people we meet in District 12.
(Art: Maiasm)
Mayor Undersee: As the mayor of District 12, Mayor Undersee doesn't seem to have much authority. He has no say in the influx of Peacekeepers or the new aggressive law enforcement. His wife suffers from debilitating headaches, which leaves him to look after his daughter, Madge.
Greasy Sae: The old woman who sells her soup at the Hob, Greasy Sae can make soup out of just about anything. During the 74th Hunger Games Greasy Sae started a money collection among the people of the Hob to sponsor their District 12 tributes. This collection expanded to most of the district, and could have been the difference between life and death for the tributes in the arena.
Ripper: The woman who sells liquor at the Hob. Before she sold liquor, Ripper worked in the coal mines of District 12. She lost one of her arms in a mining accident, which forced her to find another means of income. But Ripper always manages to find a way to support herself.
(Art: Frankie-Calamari)
Darius: Identified by his red hair and easy grin, Darius is one of the younger, friendlier Peacekeepers. He's not as serious & is always good for a joke. He spends time at the Hob, and he likes Greasy Sae's soup. But Darius doesn't really fit with the new Peacekeepers brought into District 12.
Purnia: One of the female Peacekeepers, Purnia is another that eats at Greasy Sae's. She may not agree with the way the new Peacekeepers do things, but she knows how to deal with them.
Leevy: A girl who lives in the Seam. Leevy lives a few houses down from the Everdeen's old house in the Seam. Mrs. Everdeen kept Leevy's little brother alive when he had the measles.
Bristel & Thom: Two of Gale Hawthorne's crewmates down in the coal mines of District 12. We don't know much about them, but we do know they care about their crewmates.
Cray: The old Head Peacekeeper, Cray wasn't well liked. An older man with silver hair combed sideways above his red face, Cray is well known for his drinking. He wouldn't have been disliked so much if he didn't have a habit of paying starving young women for their company.
(Art: screamster)
Romulus Thread: The new Head Peacekeeper in District 12, Romulus Thread is a hated man. He was brought in quickly, and he is aggressive in his punishment. He is a tall, muscular man, with a hard face, cruel mouth, gray hair, and black eyes.
