Luanda: Shopping
Guide de destinations
The markets are ideal to feel the spirit of Africa and to find typical handicrafts of various ethnic groups, but there are also luxury stores and other places where you'll find good gifts and souvenirs
Until recently, the Market of Roque Santeiro was one of the most typical and sought in Luanda. In September 2010 the area was dismantled and many vendors had to move to areas such as Panguila, Congolese, São Paulo, Asa Branca and Kikolo, where they continue to sell a little of everything. The handcraft items may be a good solution for those looking to buy local gifts and souvenirs. The pieces in wood, bronze, ivory or ceramic are the most common and are closely tied to different ethnic groups in this country. Sculptures as "The Thinker" and Mwana Pwo masks are on the list of the most sought by the tourists, so beware of imitations, often more perfect than the original pieces. The Futungo Market, which runs on Sundays, is one of the best places to find handicrafts. You have to take a good look among the offer, because among the most standard pieces sold by vendors dressed in tribal costumes, are occasionally some rarities. Nearby, the Artesanal Belas Fair, it's a great place to buy traditional Angolan costumes. The Kinaxixi Market and Fair of Bairro Benfica are other typical African markets. The Angolan capital also offers a wide variety of boutiques and is currently building more shopping centers, places that may be useful to those who have little time available. African music lovers may enjoy a trip to Luanda to find albums that are rarely available outside the country.

Products > PCR_RT-PCR_Real-Time_qPCR > Lyophilized_Master_Mix > RT-PCR_Kit_EcoDry_Premix
RNA to cDNA EcoDry Premix is a convenient, lyophilized master mix for reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). This format allows you to perform first-strand cDNA synthesis with minimal effort and maximum ease. Each tube of premix contains reverse transcriptase and all the other components needed for RT-PCR. Simply add PCR-grade water along with your template, and you're ready to go.
RNA to cDNA EcoDry Premix features our high-performance, ultra-pure SMART MMLV Reverse Transcriptase. SMART MMLV Reverse Transcriptase allows the synthesis of high-quality first-strand cDNA of up to 11.7 kb, from virtually any transcript.
The EcoDry RT-PCR kit is ready-to-use. The simplified protocol has fewer steps, which saves you time and helps avoid pipetting errors. Additionally, the single-use design vastly reduces the risk of contamination. As with all EcoDry products, the premix can be stored at room temperature for months, without altering the performance of the reverse transcriptase or other components. This unprecedented convenience is especially useful in fieldwork, where access to refrigeration is limited.
The RT-PCR premix is packaged individually, and sold in 8-well tube-strips with optically clear sealing caps (see Data & Images tab). Use a single tube, the entire strip, or several strips for larger experiments. Each tube contains a lyophilized master mix complete with SMART MMLV Reverse Transcriptase, dNTPs, and your choice of oligo(dT)18 primers, random hexamer primers, or a combination of both. Note: Double-primed refers to a mixture of oligo-(dT) and random hexamer primers.
The EcoDry lyophilized RT-PCR kit is room-temperature-stable. As a result it is shipped with minimal packaging, reducing your contribution of plastics and styrofoam to landfills. Additionally this eco-friendly format eliminates the need for refrigeration, further lowering environmental impact!
Please see the product's Certificate of Analysis for information about storage conditions, product components, and technical specifications. Please see the Kit Components List to determine kit components. Certificates of Analysis and Kit Components Lists are located under the Documents tab.

The Nats make their first appearance at Marlins Park this afternoon.
MIAMI — Hello, for the first time, from Marlins Park, home of the bullpen bar with dancing girls, the lime green outfield fence, the fish tank in the backstop and the home run thingamajig. Photos truly cannot do this thing justice. It is massive.
Perhaps it's a good thing the Nationals are a bit loopy this morning after their short turnaround from last night's game in Atlanta. Said Davey Johnson: "I feel like I flew from Beijing to Miami." Guys are in a good mood, though, helped by the fact they just swept the Braves.
There's a new face in the clubhouse as well. Outfielder Corey Brown had his contract purchased from Class AAA Syracuse (where he led the team with 12 homers, five of them over his last five games). Chad Tracy, meanwhile, has been placed on the 15-day DL with a groin injury; he'll fly to Philadelphia tomorrow to be examined but could miss significant time. To make room on the 40-man roster for Brown, Jayson Werth has been transferred to the 60-day DL. Jesus Flores, meanwhile, says his right hamstring feels much better, and he hopes to be able to catch tomorrow night.
It's Jordan Zimmermann vs. Carlos Zambrano on this Memorial Day. Live updates and analysis to come…

I don't think he could tag on that, runners at 1st and 2nd, he has to be half way in case it drops…tough play
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 7:21 PM
And Ryan does his GIDP thing. Love the man, I do… but…
- Gonat - May 28, 2012 at 7:22 PM
No way. No way. What is it with Zim hitting with a man on 1st?
- mick - May 28, 2012 at 7:22 PM
Ryan hits in too many DP's!!! swinging at first pitch is just crap!
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 7:23 PM
OK, Henry. Try not to let this one get out of hand. That's your job, get three outs.
- mick - May 28, 2012 at 7:24 PM
why the first pitch??? why
- mick - May 28, 2012 at 7:25 PM
Bernadina has zero value for the Nats, please Rizzo, cut him, I'm begging you!
- phil dunton - May 28, 2012 at 7:25 PM
How many chances does this turkey get?
- Joe Seamhead - May 28, 2012 at 7:26 PM
Whisky, bartender.To chase the malox.
- mick - May 28, 2012 at 7:26 PM
Henry, no, its time another Corona, i'm out gang!
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 7:28 PM
I really hate that think Reyes does with his fingers. But Arm could/should have got him at 2nd.
- Gonat - May 28, 2012 at 7:28 PM
Ank fell asleep like Heyward yesterday. Easy out there.
- Swift Eagle - May 28, 2012 at 7:29 PM
It's a cruel game, Zim crushes one into a double play, Reyes bloops one for a double…
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 7:31 PM
The boys are tired now. Not sharp. Was ok for the first few innings but it's catching up with them.
- MicheleS - May 28, 2012 at 7:32 PM
FP said it would be around the 7th inning when you would see them start to tire out.
- SFNats - May 28, 2012 at 7:33 PM
Yep, NatsLady. It's rough flying in at 3 am and then playing a 1:00 game. And it's starting to show.
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 7:33 PM
Davey basically conceding this one. The boys are on their own.
- SFNats - May 28, 2012 at 7:35 PM
Two uncharacteristically sloppy plays by Ankiel — he's tired.
- Gonat - May 28, 2012 at 7:35 PM
Rick doesn't atone for sleeping on Reyes turning his bloop single into a double.
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 7:36 PM
Henry can blame this one on Ankiel. Not really his fault and he didn't lose his cool. Hope he knows that.
- Gonat - May 28, 2012 at 7:38 PM
NatsLady said… Davey basically conceding this one. The boys are on their own. May 28, 2012 3:33 PM ____________________________Davey isn't conceding anything. The boys need to get more offense going.
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 7:38 PM
Uphill battle now for our tired boys. Only two runs but seems like a lot more.
- Joe Seamhead - May 28, 2012 at 7:38 PM
Okay, boys, time to get it going.Ankiel might have been able to nail the punk if he had gotten the ball out of his mitt.
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 7:39 PM
Not talking about the offense. Talking about having Henry in there with no one else warming.
- SFNats - May 28, 2012 at 7:41 PM
Henry did his job, though. That run really wasn't his fault at all.
- phil dunton - May 28, 2012 at 7:43 PM
Desmond's big rally with the bat is history.
- jeffwx - May 28, 2012 at 7:44 PM
ouch….in retrospect, may have been good to give a couple veterans a rest with Brown and Moore starting instead of Ankiel and LaRoche
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 7:45 PM
Yes, Henry did fine. Now if the human towel can keep it at 5-3 we have a shot at Heath Bell.
- Gonat - May 28, 2012 at 7:46 PM
Like I said this morning, Brown should have been in there for Ankiel.
- SFNats - May 28, 2012 at 7:46 PM
Yeah, this probably would have been a good game to start a bunch of the kids.
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 7:51 PM
Nice inning for Perry.
- jeffwx - May 28, 2012 at 7:53 PM
NL, I like your avatar. IMHO, I think Werth in the lineup and outfield would make a better lineup (lombo/werth/harper) with more runs.
- Gonat - May 28, 2012 at 7:55 PM
Rick Ankiel hacked at ball 3. He can't stay off of that high fastball.
- jeffwx - May 28, 2012 at 7:55 PM
I'd take Werth in the lineup over Ankiel any day.
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 7:56 PM
Boy Ankiel looks really gassed.jeffwx, maybe you mean Morse/Werth/Harper
- SFNats - May 28, 2012 at 7:56 PM
The eventual outfield of Werth/Harper/Morse will be PFB.
- Gonat - May 28, 2012 at 7:56 PM
The worst guy the Nats could have at the plate to start the 9th. Ankiel just sits down.
- Swift Eagle - May 28, 2012 at 7:57 PM
No doubt, the Morse/Werth/Harp outfield is what Davey was planning on in ST before all the injuries..hopefully we will see it one day
- UnkyD - May 28, 2012 at 7:58 PM
Be a hitter, Corey !!!
- Gonat - May 28, 2012 at 7:58 PM
Come on C. Brown! Still time to rally!!!!
- Gonat - May 28, 2012 at 8:00 PM
Good news. Still in 1st place. Get 'em tomorrow after a long night's rest.
- Catcher50 - May 28, 2012 at 8:00 PM
Couple of comments:It's a 162 game season. You're going to lose some. Relax.Baseball is unwatchable in that stadium. Between the fish tanks, chartreuse walls, that whatever it is in centerfield, the level of awfulness is amazing. As has been said, it is the tackiest park in baseball. What's really frightening is that the guys who built it are art dealers.I don't normally dump on umpires, but if the Pitchtrack is close to accurate, this plate umpire has no clue and is amazingly inconsistent.
- NatsLady - May 28, 2012 at 8:02 PM
Cather50–agree. This was lost in the 6th inning. After that, do the best you can and go home.
- Steady Eddie - May 28, 2012 at 8:07 PM
And FP was exactly right when he said before the game that the lack of sleep would start to show around the sixth or seventh. The guys have always battled back late but there was nothing left in the tank to do it with today. It happens. Marathon. Just get an early night's sleep and let eJax hook 'em tomorrow.
- Gonat - May 28, 2012 at 8:09 PM
Not a great offensive explosion considering one of the 3 runs was a HR by JZim. Since BHarper was called up, the Nats have been scoring 4.18 runs per game so they fell below that average and that 4.18 is where they need to be at a minimum.
- Manassas Nats' Fan - May 28, 2012 at 8:12 PM
After the catch on harper's fly that was a great catch by the LF, the team's balloon burst and the team took the rest of the day off with not one good swing except possibly Corey Brown's last one that flew to CF. As for Ankiel he had to raise his hands to swing at strike 3 . I was taught if you ever have to raise your hands to swing you don't. But then again I never made it to the makors, I just learned that rule better. In reality we do so many weird things batting, weing at balls, snot swing at strikes, thenoccasionally we hit the ball well. My approach as a hitting advisor 9since Ecl is not a coach I learned), is just so different.)
- jeffwx - May 28, 2012 at 8:19 PM
Yes, NL, but while Morse is out, I'd prefer Werth in the lineup over Berni/Ankiel who would normally be on the bench.Anyway, maybe now that Lombo has done so much with his opportunity, maybe Brown can do the same. It's time to cut bait on Ankiel as a starter…good bench/defensive replacement.Lombo/harper/zimm/morse/desmond/laroche/brown/floresthis weekend…nothing lost using brown over ankiel in the long run and lombo vs righties
- Joe Seamhead - May 28, 2012 at 8:31 PM
What Catch50 said.Hey, folks, heads up. We're 5-2 on a very tough road trip, not to mention we're still in first.Some thoughts from a Grumpy Old Man of Baseball:I really like Rick Ankiel, but he had a crummy game in CF.If he can't give us near perfection defensively, we can't afford his bat in the lineup.That said, three heads up baserunning plays by the Reyes punk.I would like to see Steve Lombardozzi spell Espinosa at 2B every three or four games. Lombo does not belong in LF.Sometimes Roger Bernadina just doesn't have his head in the game.Bryce Harper is my favorite new player I've seen in over 50 years of watching baseball.I am confused as to why we are keeping Tyler Moore on the big league club.I assume he'll go down next week when the Beast returns.THIS JUST IN: Tyler Moore sent down, Solano called up.I tip my hat to Davey for putting Henry in today.I detest MASN, but ESPN makes me appreciate them.I really like this blog most of the time, but I really believe there to be several misogynists on this board.Davey seems pretty pooped in his post game show. I'm glad he's pissed with Rick Ankiel. I am, too.

Debating for Democracy Legislative Letter Competition
Legislative Letter Competition
Thanks to Project Pericles's Debating for Democracy (D4D) program for civic engagement, Carleton students have the opportunity to write a legislative letter that will be judged by a panel of elected officials at D4D's annual conference in New York City. Students can write about any political issue close to their hearts and consciences: healthcare, foreign policy, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, or any other public policy issue.
The top five letters will be selected to represent Carleton at the conference. Elected representatives as well as education and community leaders will then choose five finalists from 28 colleges across the nation to present their letters to current and former senators. At the end of the event, the legislators will select a winning letter and that team will receive a $3,000 award to help promote their cause. Semi-finalists will receive a $500 award.
Students whose letters are selected as one of the six national finalists will receive an all expenses paid trip to the 2 day conference in New York on March 24th and 25th. The conference will host over 60 student leaders and will provide an opportunity for students to discuss public policy issues and connect with each other.
Full guidelines and topic suggestions are available in the attached PDF. Letters must be 1200 words or less. They are due via e-mail to Adrienne Falcon at the Academic Civic Engagement office by February 1st. For more information, contact Nick Welna (welnan), Muira McCammon (mccammom), or Adrienne Falcon (afalcon).
For more information about last year's D4D competition, which Carleton won, see the article in the last year's Carletonian. For ideas and examples, last year's winning letters are hosted on the Project Pericles website.
Student Leadership Training
D4D On The Road, the student leadership and organizing workshop run by Project Pericles, will be hosted by Macalester College on Saturday, January 28th. ACE will be providing transportation for up to 20 students to spend the day (10am-4pm) at the workshop, which is free. To register for the training, email Adrienne Falcon (email@example.com).
The workshops are being led by The Center for Progressive Leadership (CPL), a national nonpartisan training institute based in Washington, D.C. that has trained over 5,000 diverse leaders. Participants in the workshop can expect to develop their skills as advocates for social issues, to connect with other Minnesota student leaders, and to learn how to effectively connect personal stories with public policy.
The 2011 D4D On The Road workshop was hosted at Carleton College. You can see photos from the event below and read the Carletonian's coverage here.

Anyone who lives, or has ever visited the Mediterranean coast, knows what it is like.
There is a sweetness, in this small part of the world, that is very hard to let go.
Especially, in summer...
Most especially in summer, but luckily for us summer in this part of the world lasts most of the year, and even in winter most days still invite strolling on the beach. Beautiful drawing Efi.
Thank you so much, guys! :)
I had a big trouble adding color to this one! I might be posting another version... I'm still indecisive!
I had a big trouble adding color to this one! I might be posting another version... I'm still indecisive!
Such a tranquil piece. I love the aged feel you have given it. I really hope to visit there one day!
Beautiful, Efi, I love the colors - they are so warm and fuzzy, and the land lines that are like sea waves are stunning. The soft edges are really nice too, they add a very classic feel to the image.
Having spent a lot of time in my grandma's place in French Catalonia (and a small trip to Italia and Crete), I know the feeling, and dig this :)
•Catherine, you have to visit! •Óscar, it is... •Heather, this piece started out so differently and ended up like this... I might go back to the start again, don't know. •Fabian, G.E., Tracey, Angela, Tracy, thank you for your warm comments! •Süyümbike, I suppose you are from Turkey? If so, hallo neighbor! •Plushu, you very well know what I'm talking about! :)
✲ Happy New Year! I wish you and your loved ones happiness, good health and much success. Thank you for your friendship here on S6. ツ
Yes, you're right. Living in Turkey and traveling around Mediterranean, i can say:
I really feel the warmth and the scent of the moving trees with your work!
Hello neighbor! :)

I find this very very appealing - your shapes are so beautiful. I'm normally more attracted to bright colors but this just grabbed hold of my attention again and again! A very satisfying composition.

What is Earth Hour? Earth Hour is an annual event during which participants turn off lights and non-essential electronics in homes and business for one hour simultaneously around the world. The event is a symbolic "wave of darkness" that encircles the globe, encouraging hundreds of millions of people to participate in the largest single environmental event on the planet. In 2011, more than 5,200 cities and towns in 135 countries worldwide participated in Earth Hour. In addition, many members pledged to go "Beyond the Hour" in committing to help cultivate a more sustainable planet. During the 2013 event in Columbia, Water & Light estimated that we reduced our electric load by 2 megawatts – the equivalent of 80 homes going without electricity for an entire day.
When is Earth Hour? This year, Earth hour takes place in Columbia from 8:30-9:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 29. There will be a kick-off event at City Hall, 701 E. Broadway, March 20 at 12:30p. The Mayor's proclamation will be read by Councilperson Barbara Hoppe and efforts by local universities to go "Beyond the Hour" will be presented.
Why should we care? Earth Hour represents everything that we can do to protect the future of our planet. In order to create a better future for our planet, we must work together toward the same goal.
Who started all of this? Earth Hour is organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. I spent mine lying on the couch, mewling like a sick kitten, but that's neither here nor there.
I was a Redfin addict before I was an employee, and sometimes I forget that there's a lot of stuff on our site that not everybody knows about. Some of these are big things, like the fact that we're a real live brokerage with real live agents. Others are a bit nittier and grittier, like the sheer number of different ways we try to slice and dice data to share with anyone who wants it.
Example: Our local neighborhoods and zip codes pages (pick your neighborhood from our SoCal cities page). These pages don't get an awful lot of traffic, but should, because they're just obscenely useful. They basically show you the median list price, median price per square foot, sale-to-list percentage, and number of homes for sale in a local area, broken down both by neighborhood name and zip code.
You can also sort this information by any of the above columns; if you want to see every neighborhood sorted by sale-to-list percentage, just click on that column header and the data will re-sort.
And if you click on any of the neighborhood names or zip codes, we'll show you another page with information specific to that area, including:
- New homes for sale
- Upcoming open houses
- Price-reduced homes
- Recently-sold homes
- Most expensive homes
- Least expensive homes
- And most popular (on Redfin) homes
This neighborhood/zip code profile page also gives you trend charts and graphs that you can customize and even import to your own website or blog, links to related forums posts, comparisons with other nearby areas, and profiles of area schools.
If you haven't seen these pages, you should check them out. And if you're already using them, you should drop us a line below to let us know what you think of them. Ideas and suggestions are always welcome! (Cruel, cutting remarks are not particularly welcome, but are taken with a stiff upper lip.)

Coronary angiography is a procedure that uses a special dye (contrast material) and x-rays to see how blood flows through the arteries in your heart.
Cardiac angiography; Angiography - heart; Angiogram - coronary
Coronary angiography is often done along with cardiac catheterization .
Before the test starts, you will be given a mild sedative to help you relax.
An area of your body (the arm or groin) is cleaned and numbed with a local numbing medicine (anesthetic). The cardiologist passes a thin hollow tube, called a catheter, through an artery and carefully moves it up into the heart. X-ray images help the doctor position the catheter.
Once the catheter is in place, dye (contrast material) is injected into the catheter. X-ray images are taken to see how the dye moves through the artery. The dye helps highlight any blockages in blood flow.
The procedure may last 30 to 60 minutes.
You should not eat or drink anything for 8 hours before the test starts. You may need to stay in the hospital the night before the test. Otherwise, you will check in to the hospital the morning of the test.
You will wear a hospital gown. You must sign a consent form before the test. Your health care provider will explain the procedure and its risks.
Tell your doctor if you are allergic to seafood, if you have had a bad reaction to contrast material in the past, if you are taking Viagra, or if you might be pregnant.
In most cases, you will be awake during the test. You may feel some pressure at the site where the catheter is placed.
You may feel a flushing or warm sensation after the dye is injected.
After the test, the catheter is removed. You might feel a firm pressure being applied at the insertion site to prevent bleeding. If the catheter is placed in your groin, you will be asked to lie flat on your back for a few hours to several hours after the test to avoid bleeding. This may cause some mild back discomfort.
Coronary angiography may be done if you have:
There is a normal supply of blood to the heart and no blockages.
An abnormal result may mean you have a blocked artery. The test can show how many coronary arteries are blocked, where they are blocked, and the severity of the blockages.
Cardiac catheterization carries a slightly increased risk when compared with other heart tests. However, the test is very safe when performed by an experienced team.
Generally the risk of serious complications ranges from 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 500. Risks of the procedure include the following:
Considerations associated with any type of catheterization include the following:
If a blockage is found, your health care provider may perform a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to open the blockage. This can be done during the same procedure, but may be delayed for various reasons.

Do you have a new idea for what the Rivermen jersey should look like? Have you always wanted to take a crack at giving the Rivermen a new logo? Do you like the Rivermen jerseys but would love to see a few things changed? This is that chance!
From now until August 1, 2012 the Rivermen are accepting designs for fans to design a Rivermen jersey to be worn during a game in the 2012-13 season. The winning designer will be rewarded with a customized version of their jersey, public recognition, as well as four tickets to the game in which the jerseys will be worn.
This contest is open to fans here in Peoria and all over the world. All you have to do is submit your jersey design via email to firstname.lastname@example.com before Aug. 1. They can be designed on a computer or drawn by hand. Every entry will be considered. From those submissions, the Rivermen selection comittee will narrow it down to three finalists. The three finalists will be voted on through the Rivermen Facebook Page to determine the ultimate winner.
The jerseys will be worn at a yet-to-be-determined game during the 2012-13 season and the jerseys will be auctioned off after the game with proceeds to benefit the Children's Hospital of Illinois.
Any questions can also be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
On a side note, I found that there are Rivermen Ice Girls.
Not any one of the dozen listed the Blues as their favorite team. Fail.

Sciatica refers to pain, weakness, numbness, or tingling in the leg. It is caused by injury to or pressure on the sciatic nerve. Sciatica is a symptom of another medical problem. It is not a medical condition on its own.
Neuropathy - sciatic nerve; Sciatic nerve dysfunction; Low back pain - sciatica
Sciatica occurs when there is pressure or damage to the sciatic nerve. This nerve starts in the lower back and runs down the back of each leg. This nerve controls the muscles of the back of the knee and lower leg. It also provides sensation to the back of the thigh, part of the lower leg, and the sole of the foot.
Common causes of sciatica include:
Sciatica pain can vary widely. It may feel like a mild tingling, dull ache, or burning sensation. In some cases, the pain is severe enough to make a person unable to move.
The pain most often occurs on one side. Some people have sharp pain in one part of the leg or hip and numbness in other parts. The pain or numbness may also be felt on the back of the calf or on the sole of the foot. The affected leg may feel weak. Sometimes, your foot gets caught on the ground when walking.
The pain often starts slowly. It may get worse:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. This may show:
Tests are often not needed unless pain is severe or long-lasting. If tests are ordered, they may include:
Because sciatica is a symptom of another medical condition, the underlying cause should be identified and treated.
In some cases, no treatment is required and recovery occurs on its own.
Conservative (non-surgical) treatment is best in many cases. Your doctor may recommend the following steps to calm your symptoms and reduce inflammation:
Measures to take care of your back at home :
Physical therapy may also be recommended. Additional treatments depend on the condition that is causing the sciatica.
If these measures do not help, your doctor may recommend injections of certain medicines to reduce swelling around the nerve. Other medicines may be prescribed to help reduce the stabbing pains due to nerve irritation.
Nerve pain is very difficult to treat. If you have ongoing problems with pain, you may want to see a neurologist or a pain specialist to ensure that you have access to the widest range of treatment options.
Often, sciatica gets better on its own. But it is common for it to return.
More serious complications depend on the cause of sciatica, such as slipped disc or spinal stenosis . Sciatica can lead to permanent numbness or weakness of your leg.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
Also call if:
Prevention varies, depending on the cause of the nerve damage. Avoid prolonged sitting or lying with pressure on the buttocks.

Woodbourne 9 month 2. 1830
Dear Brother:
The kind sympathy expressed in thy letter of 25 ult. for the loss of my buildings etc, was very grateful. I have become, as I hoped wd. be the case when I last wrote, much better reconciled to my loss than I then was. I occasionally leave a sigh as I pass by ye remains of a beautiful rosebush or shrub, on which I have often looked with sensation of pleasures, now reduced to a black & unsightly stem, or a fine fruit tree, scathed & withered by ye scorching heat. But my feelings seem to become settled under ye conviction, that regrets are vain & useless, for what cannot be restored. The joint invitation of thyself & Rachel to G. Walker was very acceptable both to him & the family. He hesitated to accept it, on account of not being personally acquainted with thee, but, upon further consideration, desired me to express his thanks to you, & to say that he wd. accept it, though he expected that most of his leisure time, when not occupied with attention to his duties as an Anti-Masonic delegate, wd. he divided amongst his relatives & friends. He expects to leave here in ye stage on ye morning of ye 8th, & to reach Philada. on ye evening of ye 9th [inst]. I feel glad that he has concluded to accept of your kind offer, shall consider myself indebted for any little kind offices done for him, or services rendered, & will credit you for them as if performed for myself. I think ye members of E. Walker's family, are of real benefit in promoting & advancing ye interest of this Country, or of this part of it. They seem to serve as pioneers for ye better classes of society, & consequently ye more desriable kind of population. their extensive correspondence & acquaintance brings ye country into notice, & their hospitality to those who visit it, creates an impression in its favour. They at present have 6 of their relatives with them as guests , from Philada. & Wynne Wood, in ye neighourhood of ye City: Mary Jones, whose beautiful & wealthy daughter was lately married to Levi, son of Israel W. Morris, her son, Levi & his bride, the widow Jones, Mother of Stephenson & Cornelius Smith, and her grandson. This

This where the flash should stand...
Cultural Expansion to Accompany Retail Growth
13/12/2010Known for its classical refinement and sophistication, the prestigious watch brand, Breguet, finds itself rightly situated among the most luxurious boutiques on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Open to the public at the end of November, the brand continues moving forward with growth. This time, it is firmly rooting itself into American culture.
A recent partnership with the New York Philharmonic is just the beginning for the brand. Now, Breguet is immersing itself even further into U.S. society with a charitable auction to benefit the New York Philharmonic School Partnership Program. The watch brand is offering the Breguet Classique 5157 for auction to benefit the New York Philharmonic charity. It is the same watch presented to Alan Gilbert at the opening night gala in September and 100 percent of the proceeds from the auction will help fund the School Partnership's initiatives.
According to the New York Philharmonic, the School Partnership Program stimulates students' creativity and understanding of music through the experience of symphonic music. In studying great musical works, attending live performances of the New York Philharmonic, and composing music of
their own, students acquire focused listening skills, performance skills on recorder, musical literacy both symbolic and verbal, strategies for group work, knowledge of cultural history and a personal relationship to the art of music.
In a prepared statement offered by Mr. Marc A. Hayek, CEO of Montres Breguet, the brand noted that it is not only a company that embodies watchmaking excellence -- it is also a part of its cultural heritage, brimming with history and emotions. Breguet is driven by the principle of preserving humanity's historical and cultural heritage well beyond the watchmaking world through various prestigious patronage activities. The partnership with the New York Philharmonic is yet another step toward promoting and preserving the world's great cultural institutions. Through the philharmonic's efforts to bring classical music to New York City's youth, it is clear that the School Partnership Program is an organization that fosters an appreciation for culture that will carry on for generations.
"Breguet's generous gesture of support could not be more timely," said New York Philharmonic Director of Education Theodore Wiprud. "When music education is under more stress than ever, the Philharmonic's School Partnership Program makes high-quality instruction part of every child's life in our partner schools. This gift helps keep the Philharmonic's connection with schools strong."
The watch to be auctioned will be on display at the 5th Avenue Boutique starting December 15th. The Breguet Classique, an extra-thin Classique wristwatch in 18-carat yellow gold, has a self-winding movement and silvered gold dial, hand-engraved on a rose engine. The case diameter is 38mm and has water-resistance to 30m. The auction will begin on the eBay Giving Works site on Dec. 30th, 2010, at 12:01 a.m. and will end Jan. 15th, 2011 at midnight. For more information, go to www.nyphil.org/auction.
The new Breguet 5th Avenue Boutique is 3,500 square feet, which features a special exhibition space that will allow visitors to experience an interactive virtual tour of the Breguet manufacture located in Switzerland. The boutique will also offer a Breguet watchmaker and a pulsograph to showcase a minute repeater's chimes and ticking.
This is the third Breguet Boutique to open in the U.S. The other two boutiques located on Madison Avenue in New York City, and Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, Ca., welcome this boutique as the new flagship location.

Well I'm sitting waiting for opening ceremonies to start when I realized I can type news posts on my phone now. So I've checked up on snafu and I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of updates in my abscence but that's to be expected I suppose. Anyhoo ill be back tuesday night and ill immediately get to work on snafu tin and mypanda. And ill start to sift through the great submissions we've got for editors and colorists for the new comics. Once we get those setup we should have naruto updating regularly for a long time and mypanda forever. And final fantasy can get rolling as well.
As for my week in seattle its been incredibly boring. I was alone chilling in my motel for two day straight and when shawn from halolz flew in on wednesday I was excited for company but he slept all day long. Thursday we setup our booths and that leaves me at today. Dull week. Oh well.
Oh and my gateway netbook laptop thing broke on this trip. Again. Its the third time I've taken it to three cons and all three cons its failed me. Never ever under any circumstances buy a gateway they suck big time.
Oh and if you're at sakura con stop by the panel today at 4 pm. It should be decently fun I hope plus there is a webcomics panel tomorrow morning at 9 with penny arcade me greg from real life comics shawn from halolz and possible some more peeps. Should be rad.

What is it?
UPF stand for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. Clothing can protect you from the sun's ultraviolet rays. It all depends on the fiber content, weave, weight of fabric and color.
So what's the difference between UPF and SPF?
SPF stands for the Sun Protection Factor, most commonly associated with sunscreen. This measures the amount of time it takes for skin to burn. UPF on the other hand stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor, which is a measure of the amount of UV radiation that penetrates a fabric and reaches your skin. For example, a fabric rated with a UPF of 20 will allow only 1/20th of the sun's UV rays to pass through.
Marmot UPF fabrics come in UPF 20, 25, 30, 35, 45 & 50.
What are the benefits of this technology?
Wearing a UPF fabric would greatly reduce your exposure to UV rays, (where it covers your body). Dark colors and tight weaves will have higher UPF ratings. As well, nylons and polyesters are better than plain cotton because they reflect radiation.
COOLMAX® fabric enables you to improve personal performance by keeping your body cool, dry and comfortable all day long.
What is it?
COOLMAX® is a moisture wicking, lightweight, soft and breathable fabric.
How does it work?
COOLMAX® fabric is an original wicking performance fabric that moves moisture away from the skin. It works by absorbing and spreading moisture out across the fabric to enhance the evaporative drying rate. Specially engineered fibers allow for high-performance fabrics that are soft, breathable, and moisture wicking.
What are the benefits of this technology?
COOLMAX® fabric helps you to improve personal performance by allowing you to perform at your optimum rate longer because it keeps your body cool, dry and comfortable. The built in ultraviolet protection helps to protect from harmful UV rays. COOLMAX® fabrics are also easy to care for by allowing machine washing and drying. And they dry quicker too, reducing dryer usage and line dry time.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- Negotiations on the Kansas budget halted abruptly Friday after state senators demanded a final offer from the House that could lead to the end of the 2013 session.
The talks had been scheduled for Friday morning, following three rounds of negotiations Thursday which saw legislators make steady progress on the budget for the next two fiscal years.
Senate Ways and Means Chairman Ty Masterson asked his House counterpart to move the process further along, seeking a final offer on higher education and a state employee salary cap that would pass the GOP-dominated House. But House Appropriations Committee Chairman Marc Rhoades said that request couldn't be accommodated and canceled Friday's meetings.
"We can't do that," Rhoades said of meeting the pressure to have a final solution quickly. "It will take time for us to get a final, final offer. I don't fault the chairman. Those are his marching orders."
The Newton Republican said he hopes to meet with House leaders and resume talks with the Senate on Monday.
Senate President Susan Wagle planned a news conference later Friday to discuss the impasse.
The breakdown in talks came a day after a rare joint caucus of House and Senate Republicans where members expressed a desire to work together to resolve issues over the $14.5 million budget and find a compromise on taxes. Soon after the meeting, budget negotiators conducted three rounds of talks and pared their list to a handful of items.
"Clearly we are at an impasse," Sen. Laura Kelly, a Topeka Democrat and member of the Senate budget negotiating team, said Friday. "How do we do a budget when we don't even know how much revenue we have? We should do taxes first."
She said no budget that's been on the table so far would cut enough money in the long term to match revenue projections.
"We don't have the revenue because we cut income taxes last year," Kelly said.
Major sticking points remain the House desire to cut spending at state universities, community colleges and technical centers by 4 percent. The Senate initially sought a 2 percent cut, but Masterson countered with a 1 percent reduction in both 2014 and 2015. The House rejected that.
The House is also holding fast to a desire to cap state employee salaries at certain agencies, saving more than $63 million. Certain agencies could request additional funding from the State Finance Council including the Department of Transportation, corrections, Kansas Highway Patrol and state hospitals.
GOP senators have offered an alternative that would provide additional revenues for salaries and wages to blunt the impact sought by the House.

Lymphadenitis is an infection of the lymph nodes (also called lymph glands). It is a common complication of certain bacterial infections.
Lymph node infection; Lymph gland infection; Localized lymphadenopathy
The lymph system is a network of lymph nodes, lymph ducts, lymph vessels, and organs that produce and move a fluid called lymph from tissues to the bloodstream.
The lymph glands, or nodes, are small structures that filter the lymph fluid. There are many white blood cells in the lymph nodes to help fight infection.
Lymphadenitis occurs when the glands become enlarged by swelling (inflammation), often in response to bacteria, viruses, or fungi. The swollen glands are usually found near the site of an infection, tumor, or inflammation.
Lymphadenitis may occur after skin infections or other infections caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus or Staphylococcus. Sometimes it is caused by rare infections such as tuberculosis or cat scratch disease (Bartonella).
Lymph nodes may feel rubbery if an abscess has formed or they have become inflamed.
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. This includes feeling your lymph nodes and looking for signs of injury or infection around any swollen lymph nodes.
A biopsy and culture of the affected area or node may reveal the cause of the inflammation. Blood cultures may reveal spread of infection to the bloodstream.
Lymphadenitis may spread within hours. Treatment should begin promptly.
Treatment may include:
Surgery may be needed to drain an abscess.
Prompt treatment with antibiotics usually leads to a complete recovery. It may take weeks, or even months, for swelling to disappear.
Call your health care provider or go to the emergency room if you have symptoms of lymphadenitis.
Good general health and hygiene are helpful in the prevention of any infection.

Ina Garten, bestselling cookbook author and beloved star of Barefoot Contessa on Food Network, is back with her easiest recipes ever.
In Barefoot Contessa How Easy Is That? Ina proves once again that it doesn�t take complicated techniques, special equipment, or stops at more than one grocery store to make wonderful dishes for your family and friends. Her newest must-have cookbook is all about saving time and avoiding stress while having fun in the kitchen.
These are not recipes with three ingredients thrown together in five minutes; instead home cooks will find fantastic Barefoot Contessa recipes that are easy to make but still have all that deep, delicious flavor Ina is known for�and that makes a meal so satisfying. Think Pink Grapefruit Margaritas served with Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs�two classics with a twist. For lunch, Ina makes everyone�s favorite Ultimate Grilled Cheese sandwich and Snap Peas with Pancetta. For dinner, try Jeffrey�s Roast Chicken (tried and true!); Steakhouse Steaks, which come out perfectly every time and�with Ina�s easy tip�couldn�t be simpler; or an Easy Parmesan �Risotto� that you throw in the oven instead of stirring endlessly on the stovetop. Finally, Ina�s desserts never disappoint�from Red Velvet Cupcakes to Chocolate Pudding Cream Tart.
To top it all off, Ina also shares her best tips for making cooking really easy. She leaves bowls of lemons and limes on the counter not only because they look great but because they also remind her that a squeeze of lemon in a dish brightens the flavors. She shows us the equipment that makes a difference to her�like sharp knives, the right zester, an extra bowl for her electric mixer�and that can help you in your kitchen, too.
Filled with 225 gorgeous full-color photographs, Barefoot Contessa How Easy is That? is the perfect kitchen companion for busy home cooks who still want fabulous flavor.
Ina Garten is the author of six bestselling cookbooks and host of the popular Barefoot Contessa television show on Food Network She has a line of Barefoot Contessa baking mixes available nationwide and writes a monthly column for House Beautiful. Ina lives in East Hampton, New York, with her husband, Jeffrey.
Visit Ina at BarefootContessa.com
I loved the cookbook as I love Ina Garten. The recipes are good but I expected to see more 'down-to-earth' recipes instead of gourmet type, exquisite culinary recipes. Most of of folks do ordinary cooking and baking and would prefer recipes that are more in the comfort zone. I would buy another of Ina Garten's books and I have Paula Deen's cookbook which is fabulous.
Bought this for my daughter who is just starting out with a new apartment, She loves it. The recipes are reasonable and well described.
Love all of the Barefoot Contessa cookbooks. Lowest price on the internet! Delivered by USPS...took about 10-14 days
I was a Christmas present. She really enjoyed it.
If you've been reading my reviews on the Ina Garten books that I've purchased, you know I am a great fan of hers and of the books. All are well written, beautifully photographed, and everything my friends and I have tried has turned out great. (Really, everything I've tried so far, has been delicious!) Between myself and my friends, at least one recipe has been tried from each of her books, and since we share our experiences, I have many post-its on recipes I an eager to try.

James Moore- James admits he's not the fastest guy in the world, but he may have the biggest heart, and biggest smile. James has run the 370 mile out and back of the C&O canal several times, but probably none more inspiring than his 2001 run. James raised money for the Susan G Komen foundation in support for his wife, Rebecca's battle with cancer. James is not only an accomplished runner, but one of the true spokesman for ultrarunning. The guy is the definition of class. Today, Rebecca is the image of health.
Helen Hipps- an avid walker, Helen can be found at the heart of most volunteer leadership roles. She is usually the first to arrive, last to leave, and never looks for a thank you. While she is not cheering on her husband, the charasmatic and wide smiled Ed "Cappucino", Helen is pouring herself out to those around her. Helen may be the most unsung hero in our community. She does the most, and asks for nothing in return. I speak for many people when I say "Thank you!"
David Snipes- better known as Sniper. Yes David is quite social, but he is often giving advice to younger runners and newbies. He helped me survive my first trail ultra, and willingly will go as slow as needed to make sure you finish. Nobody DNF's under his watch. Sniper also knows more about every trail and every race than probably anyone else. He's a great coach, solid mentor, and dedicates alot of time to hosting training runs, and volunteering. He's also the second person to run the MMT, Old Dominion Memorial, and Old Dominion one hundred milers on three straight weekends!
Other wonderful folks worth mentioning:
Vicki Kendall-ran an inspiring 28 hours at MMT,Vicki may shatter every 60+ woman's record when she gets there. Like a fine wine she only gets better with age. Her usual partner in crime is the wonder woman Barb Isom.
Doug Blackford-I literally first ran into Doug in 2005. I tripped, fell, and ran right into him. Doug has recently entered the 60+ age bracket and is threatening to win many age group awards and records. That is if Mr. Frank Probst isn't running neck and neck with him. Doug runs under the radar, but continues to crank out fast 50 mile and 50k times. Often times, he doesn't accept finisher awards because he already has so many. Keep an eye out for Mr. Blackford.
Tom and Kirstin Corris-good runners, great volunteers, and great people of the community. Tom leads MMT training runs, BBQ's, and Kirstin is right there with him (often with mouth watering recipes). Like a good neighbor, the Corris' are there.
Alisa Springman- again, probably not unsung because she has become one of the more talented female runners out there. Alisa runs 100 milers as training runs, and does stuff like Badwater as her "focus" runs. Sponsored by Brooks, Powerbar, and Drymax. Okay, she may be a bit mainstream for this list, but gotta give props to my friend.
Quattro Hubbard and Joe Clapper- Both are a combination of class clown, life of the party, and big brother. Both fellas dedicate alot of time to VHTRC. Don't underestimate Joe, the guy can still light it up.
If there is anyone I missed, feel free to give them a shout out. I believe these are the folks to make our running communities what they are. They are the reason people come out to trailrunning/road events, and the key reason they stay.

What kinds of tables can accommodate wheelchairs? Wheelchair accessible tables do not have to look any different than other desks and tables. Hertz Furniture has a selection of ADA compliant tables that will fit right in with the rest of your furniture.
How can I make my classroom more inclusive?
Creating an ADA compliant classroom is as easy as accommodating school desks that are just a bit wider than regular classroom desks. If you know you will need an ADA compliant student desk, you should purchase other desks in the same style so your classroom will maintain a coordinated look and students with disabilities will not feel singled-out or different. Aside from the furniture itself, the learning space needs to be arranged in a way that enables someone in a wheelchair to move around the classroom easily without bumping into anything or having to move things around.
What makes a school ADA compliant?
It is not only the students' homeroom which must be considered when arranging an accessible school. All learning venues need to be taken into account. A room which will often pose a challenge if not considered in advance is the science lab. Regular science lab tables are often too high to be accessed by someone who is in a wheelchair. Adjustable lab tables from Diversified Woodcrafts have the chemical-resistant tops you need for safe experimentation, while also accommodating individuals in wheelchairs. They enable you to purchase as many tables as you need and make accommodations and adjustments when necessary.
How can I make the computer lab wheelchair accessible?
Providing a properly-equipped computer lab requires no extra effort. Many of our regular computer tables are ADA compliant when set up correctly. You just need to make sure that there is enough space at the table for an individual in a wheelchair to sit comfortably and work. Accessible computer tables can also be used as computer desks for professionals who need special accommodations.
In addition to regular computer tables, accessible work centers are available as well. These temporary or extra computer work spaces can be used in a computer lab, classroom or office. They are available with glides or wheels. If you want extra flexibility and convenient portability, wheels are a great option. However, if you plan on leaving the computer workstation in one place most of the time, glides are the way to go.
How can I make the art room wheelchair accessible?
Mayline Stoway drafting tables are great for drawing, sketching and large projects. They are wheelchair-accessible so anyone can enjoy their convenient design. These adjustable-height tables fold flat for easy storage and mobility. They work well as an accessible option for an art room or other project space.
Folding wheelchair tables from Lesro can be used as classroom desks, office desks or work tables. They are height- and angle-adjustable, providing the perfect fit for anyone who is using them. A raised edge prevents writing implements from rolling off. These tables conveniently fold up for easy storage. Available with optional casters or a modesty panel.
ADA compliance does not end with classrooms and formal learning spaces. An accessible school must accommodate children in wheelchairs at all times of the day including lunch and recess. Our wheelchair accessible picnic tables enable all students to take advantage of the beautiful weather during lunch time or enjoy a relaxing break together.
Why is an adaptive classroom important?
It is not only the students with special needs themselves who benefit from accessible furniture. When you design an adaptive classroom, you teach all students about the importance of education. An adaptive classroom gives everyone a fair chance to learn, grow and gain from all of the benefits modern education has to offer.
Wheelchair accessible furniture enables all students to feel welcome in your school, no matter what their physical disabilities are. Hertz Furniture's selection of ADA compliant tables enables you to outfit your school with proper accommodations so students can learn in an appropriately-equipped environment. We know that ensuring a school is accessible can be a daunting task, that's why the Hertz Design Center is here to help you with free advice and design planning from start to finish.
Tables are one of the fundamental units of office furniture. Round tables, adjustable height tables, foldable tables, and portable folding tables are just a few examples of the many varieties of tables you could use for your office.
How to select the right table? Well, start by deciding what your needs are. Will this table be for a school, institution, or small office? Round tables help people interact with one another while rectangular tables provide more privacy. Adjustable height tables are ideal for classrooms where different age children will need to sue the table. Foldable tables and Portable Folding Tables give you the added flexibility of tables that are easy to move and store.

I finished A World Apart by David M. Brown and I am of two minds of it - great storytelling to the end that kept me turning the pages, but the world building comes up unconvincing (those 20000 years of same are really hard to take as human history tends to move much faster), and the story itself is a a bit meh and pointless.
Overall the author has narrative pull but needs more interesting stories and a more convincing world building to get to the top level of today's fantasy

Just finished the Riyria Revelations by Michael Sullivan.
The series had just about everything I enjoy in a good story, including a super ending. As far as sheer fun goes, the Riyria Revelations is the best epic fantasy I've read in several years.
Now I have to decide what to read next, which I often find to be something of a letdown after I've finished a book I really like.
Rather than try to capture the same magic in a different bottle, I think I'll go with something completely different. I've got a copy of Jack Vance's Lyonesse trilogy on the ol' bookshelf that's been staring at me for quite a while now...

Just started Mark Lawrence's Prince of Thorns - wow impressive opening 2 chapters - has me hooked. You gotta love the Kindle, I downloaded PoT on my train commute home from work after finishing Leviathan Wakes - James S. A. Corey - very much looking forward to reading second in that series. But wanted a change in pace from Space Opera.
After finishing Prince of Thorns aim to go back and finish Jo Nesbo's The Devils Star and possibly start James Lee Burke's Rain Gods. Or maybe I'll kick back up on the Corey series and read the second book.
So a few lined up for this month on the Kindle.Last edited by Rhizy; September 4th, 2012 at 06:36 PM.

Just picked up Storm Front and I'm excited to start my journey with Mr. Harry Dresden. Also, kudos to Jim Butcher, it's nice to read a fantasy author who doesn't take himself too seriously.
September 4th, 2012, 12:22 PM #30
Well, that was a fun book! Can't wait to read the next one. This is one everybody here should be reading.
Starting The Iron Wyrm Affair by Lilith Saintcrow* today, a steampunk, fantasy, mystery.
*That can't be her real name, can it? If it is her real name, that's pretty cool.
