I need some help. I am trying to make the Twirly Skirt for my 7-year old granddaughter. Her waist is 24 inches and the length from waist to just below knees is 19 inches. I sewed most of the strips together and measured and only come up with 30 inches. And if I cut the width of the fabric, sewn in strips, in half I will still only have 60 inches width. According to the directions I need 4 times 24 inches (waist measurement) and that is 96 inches. Even if I sew all the strips together I doubt I'll get that much yardage. If this skirt can be made for a ten year old and I can't get enough yardage for a seven year old what have I misunderstood? Also, If I measure from waist to knee, then add several inches at waist and several inches at hem won't the skirt be much longer then knee length?

Sequential Circuits Split-8
The Split-8 makes for a very nice programmable polyphonic analog synthesizer with complete MIDI implementation. With 8 voices and 8 oscillators (Curtis 3394 SENTE chips) the Split-8 is a heavy contender against the Roland Juno-106! However programming the synth, while straight forward and intuitive, is limited to adjusting one parameter at a time assigned to one Data knob. This limits performance ability but is no problem during studio use.
The keyboard features splits and layers, all of which can be saved with patch data. Choose between 8 voice polyphony with 1 oscillator per voice, 4 voice polyphony with dual oscillators per voice, 2 voice polyphony with a mega 4 oscillators per voice, or the unison mode which is just a fat 8-voice solo mode for trance bass and lead heaven! Similar to the Juno-106, the Split-8 uses a Chorus effect to liven up the sounds. Sonically the Split-8 sounds much 'thinner' than a Roland Juno-106, however this 'thin' sound is characteristic of Sequential and is quite nice. The wooden side panels definitely give the Split-8 that vintage flare!

Well Ohio is trying an experimental, two week all day hunt til' sunset. It is the last two weeks of our season. Having always been a morning til noon hunter, this is untraveled ground.
I guess like mornings I don't want to ruin the reguler roost site by hunting too close. So what do you folks who have afternoon experience use for stratigies. I know a book could be written to answer the question, but a few sound bits of advice would really help. I will still be a morning hunter for the most part do to my work schedule, but I hope to get a few all day hunts in.

Enjoy a tasty cheese and egg classic with all the Betty Crocker tips to make your baking a success!
Egg sizes range from jumbo to peewee, and the most popular egg size is large. All Betty Crocker recipes are tested with large eggs.
Use an egg separator to safely separate the egg white from the yolk. A separator consists of a small bowl-shaped center that holds the yolk with a surrounding space that allows the white to slip through into a bowl.
Have family or guests seated and ready to eat when you take the soufflé out of the oven so they can see how wonderful it looks. The soufflé will lose its puffiness once it is on the table, but it will still taste delicious.
For a shrimp soufflé, omit mustard, red pepper and cheese. Add 1 can (4 to 4 1/2 ounces) shrimp, rinsed and drained, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh or l teaspoon dried tarragon leaves to the sauce before adding the beaten egg yolks.

I hate rude behavior in a man, won't tolerate it. Captain Woodrow Call
I can't knock them because I have never shot them.......
However I have never shot them because too many guys that I have duck hunted with have had a lot of hang ups with them.
Try and see for yourself.....
HR Winter Hill's Smokin Ruby "Ruby"
Blindfaith's Dream Trip "Stella"
Shot their dove loads and some target loads, no issues with either one. Liked them just fine.
Went with Kent Faststeel. Thanks for the replies guys.
I've never shot their steel but I really like their dove loads.
I've shot 3.5 last2 years three cases not a single misfire but that's with a Beretta
I wont use anything but their nickel plated Golden Pheasant on ditch parrots. Have also used their White Rhinos and Crushers for a number of years in shooting sporting clays and five stand and have been very pleased.

From: Giles
Subject: joing the prostaff
Hey my name is Giles C. and i would love to join the kentucky turkey and turkey hunting prostaff. I killed my first gobbler last year with a 11 1/2 inch beard and inch spurs. Im 13 and im from bowling green ky. I would love to join your prostaff. just email me back thnks.
My answer:
From: the shaman

To: 'giles'
Subject: RE: joing the prostaff
Well, at present I don't think there are any openings—they only have 1 or 2 guys per state. However, I don't think that's going to stop you from getting involved.
What I would suggest is that you go to
. . . and join the forum. The way I got to be a pro-staffer was hanging out there and sharing my stories and advice. One thing led to another and now I get to walk around with a camo hat with the name of the website on it.
I'll get on today and let folks know you're coming. Be sure to have a good story about that gobbler you shot.
Write soon. Write often.
So, y'all are on notice. Giles is a-coming. Treat him proper.

I'm considering those pretty hard, even having heard from multiple people that Kre-O is junk. Those figures look awesome!
I'm considering those pretty hard, even having heard from multiple people that Kre-O is junk. Those figures look awesome!
That's my jacket!
I've avoided going down the Lego (and now Kreo) pathway to poverty thus far in my collecting, but it's becoming ever-increasingly difficult. I may say now that I don't think I'll pick any of them up, but that could change once I see them up close.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
Kre-O aren't the same quality as Lego (and even then, Lego's mystery minifigs are a cheaper grade plastic than what you get in the boxed sets) but aren't exactly junk either. That being said, I find the figs more appealing than the sets, though I'm sure I'll pick up Checkpoint Alpha for sure.
I don't believe it myself, but I finally found "new" (2010) figures at Walgreens!!!
The WG in Beaumont had one each of the Jungle BAT and Cobra Commander. Thanks to Maradona scoring Shadow Tracker a while back for me, I now only need Crazylegs, Rock Viper, Temple Whatever Snake Eyes, and the POC version of the Iron Grenadier (the paint scheme is different enough for me to consider him a different figure from the 30th version). Not to be complete, but to have all the figures I want (that have been released, at least--I really want that Kwinn).
That's my jacket!
Walgreens, CVS, and Rite Aid have been a boon to Joe collectors recently. I've been hoping that the POC and 30th waves hit Ross/Marshalls/TJ Maxx so I can affordably troop build. I don't feel like I did enough of that with several of those figures and I'd love some cheaply priced moneybags Destro, along with as many Fireflies as I can manage.
I've had zero luck with CVS but I found/bought a Jungle BAT at Walgreen's and 3 Cobra Troopers at Rite Aid (alas I didn't have enough cash on me for them all)
Maybe I need to check CVS, too. I've passed on multiples of the army builders at this price. I'd love a bazillion of the Cobra Troopers, but I have a bazillion of the old ones, and, though this one's better, that's a massive expense.
Have Rock Viper and Snake Eyes been showing up anywhere? Someone told me all the "lost" figures were appearing except those, but they're on yojoe.com, so I assume they were released. (Okay, maybe Python Patrol Croc Master is "lost," too, but who cares? Anyone salivating at the prospect of paying $11 for that figure in a slightly different paint scheme?)
That's my jacket!
Seriously? That was one of the weaker figures from that time, and he rotted at Marshalls for months. The paint differences are pretty minor, and the extra reptiles have all been released with figures who went on clearance.
I remember being excited when they announced a "new" Croc Master for the POC line, thinking, "That's got to be the crazy IDW version, because no way would they re-release that other figure. This means we might actually get figures of some of the other IDW characters who look way different from their classic versions, especially Crystal Ball."
Sadly, as you know, I was mistaken.
That's my jacket!

Deeplinks Blog posts about Anonymity
As of this month, 567 relays from our 2014 Tor Challenge are still up and running—more than were established during the entire inaugural Tor Challenge back in 2011. To put that number in perspective, these nodes represent more than 8.5% of the roughly 6,500 public relays currently active on the entire Tor network, a system that supports more than 2-million directly connecting clients worldwide.
Facebook claims its practice of forcing users to go by their "real names" (or "authentic identities" as Facebook spins it) makes the social network a safer place. In fact, the company has often claimed that the policy protects women who use the social media platform, even when faced with community advocates pointing out that the policy facilitates harassment, silencing, and even physical violence towards its most vulnerable users.
EFF has long believed that the First Amendment is as important to thinking about the NSA's spying as the Fourth Amendment. When the government can track to whom you talk, when and for how long, like it did with the telephone records collection under section 215 of the Patriot Act, it knows with whom you associate. When it tracks who talks to politically active organizations, it scares people out of participating in the political and social issues of the day.
So what's the status of our flagship case raising those First Amendment concerns, First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles v. NSA? How does the passage of the USA Freedom Act change what could happen to that case? We thought it was time for a short update.
Refresher on the First Unitarian Church Case
EFF has joined 46 organizations and 105 individuals to oppose a new domain registration proposal in front of the Internet Corporation for Assignment of Names and Numbers (ICANN). From Academy Award-winning documentary film director Laura Poitras to the National Council of Women's Organizations to Chayn, an organization that works to combat domestic violence in Pakistan, the vast array of organizations and individuals signed on to this letter reflects just how misguided this proposal is. We hope ICANN will reject the flawed proposal, which comes from a smaller ICANN Working Group, especially in light of this unified opposition.

Moss kicks off leadership lecture series, Sept. 26
Posted September 20, 2007; 09:49 a.m.
Seasoned entrepreneur Frank Moss, the director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Media Lab, will give the opening talk in this year's "Leadership in a Technological World" lecture series at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 26, in the Friend Center Convocation Room.
Moss, a professor of the practice of media arts and sciences at MIT, will speak on "Inventing a Better Future." The event, which is followed by a reception, is free and open to the public.
After earning his B.S.E. in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Princeton in 1971, Moss earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in aeronautics and astronautics from MIT. A 25-year veteran of the software and computer industries, he has spent his career bringing innovative business technologies to market.
Moss first worked for IBM and later held executive management positions at Apollo Computer Inc. and Lotus Development Corp. He subsequently served as chief executive officer and chairman of Tivoli Systems Inc., a pioneer in the distributed systems management field, which he took public in 1995 and merged with IBM in 1996. Moss also is the co-founder of several other companies.
In the last five years, Moss has focused on making a broader contribution by using technology to address pressing social issues such as health care and to improve quality of life for people worldwide. He was appointed director of MIT's Media Lab in 2006.
A Princeton trustee and a member of the School of Engineering and Applied Science Leadership Council, Moss received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award and was named one of Forbes Magazine's "Leaders for Tomorrow."
Future events in the series will include a Nov. 14 talk by Sophie Vandebroek, chief technology officer of Xerox Corp., and a Feb. 7, 2008, lecture by Lynda Clarizio, the president of Advertising.com. The lecture series is sponsored by Princeton's Center for Innovation in Engineering Education and underwritten by the William Pierson Field Lectureship fund.

Something From Nothing: Audacious Speculations in Art, Science & Entrepreneurialism
This project is focused on exploring the connections, overlaps and productive tensions between
three realms of activity often considered as totally distinct: 1) conceptual art, especially activist art, 2) scientific research, specifically experiment design in the natural, neuro- and social sciences, and 3) business/entrepreneurialism. In each of these domains, we will be studying imaginative acts that change the world by the illocutionary force of their own inspiration, seeking to understand the creative audacity that makes something from nothing.
"Something from Nothing" emerged from a conversation (between Eliza Slavet and Cathy Gere) about a presentation given by the neuroscientist V. S. Ramachandran in which he outlined a vision of the relationship between the sciences and the arts: with expert knowledge and insight, scientists can provide insight into the nature of creativity or the fundamental characteristics of visual and auditory perception. What was striking to us about Ramachandran's presentation, however, was not so much his neuroscientific explanation of creativity and perception, but rather the creativity of his own research, the perceptive design of his experiments and the compelling performativity of his presentation. Where scientists implicitly engage with questions of aesthetics, performativity and presentation, these questions are the explicit concerns of artists and humanists.
With this project we aim to bring art and science into a more symbiotic relationship through which both artists and scientists will be in a position to learn from one another, specifically by considering the work of scientists and entrepreneurs through the lens of conceptual art. This allows us to focus on the ways in which creative people in these fields engage in similar processes of moving from the realm of the speculative, fantastic and imaginary to the realm of material reality that shapes the very life of humans, animals, cities, and spaces. The aim of our project is to find ways of articulating and playing with the processes that move us from speculation to reality and back again.
By focusing on audacity, we hope to shed light on the ways in which artists, scientists and entrepreneurs devise ways of making different worlds than the ones that we are "handed," at birth and through life. Where others might see economic, institutional or infrastructural limitations as barriers to change, successful artists, scientists, and entrepreneurs are well-practiced at taking stock—of auditing— such conditions in order to begin the processes of transforming them. Yet one of the things that most clearly distinguishes these fields from one another is the mode of analysis: the evidence, framework, and logic that allows us to see the possibility for change. Artists, scientists and entrepreneurs also differ on the question of what constitutes "success" in each context: That is, what kinds of effects or changes are desired and what are the "actual" effects that ensue? Whether the project is developed and/or recognized as art, science, or commerce, there are overlapping questions, even if they are differently framed with different purposes in mind.

Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmint Bullet, .22 cal, 55-gr.
Prices, promotions, styles and availability may vary by store and online.
Excellent results at virtually any velocity
Match-grade accuracy
Streamlined polymer ballistic tip
Ultra-thin jacket mouth for violent expansion
Heavy jacketed base stops deformation when firing
The Nosler Ballistic Tip Varmint Bullets thrive on ultra-high velocity loads, yet will go the distance with spectacular results at even the lowest practical velocities. Fast or slow, near or far, no matter what velocity rifle and cartridge combination you use or what varmint you're shooting at, Nosler delivers match-grade accuracy with the performance characteristics serious varminters are looking for. Streamlined polymer ballistic tip resists deformation in the magazine and initiates expansion upon impact. Ultra-thin jacket mouth assures violent expansion at either end of the velocity scale. Uniform, gradual thickening at the bullet's mid-section keeps the bullet together at any velocity until impact. Heavy jacketed base prevents bullet deformation during firing.
Bullet diameter: .224"

Ohio did the same thing this spring, first half was half a day and the second half was whole day. Being from WV we now have two states bordering us that has all day hunting the second half of the season. I wonder if the WV DNR will be considering adopting that policy here?
Eddie, I'm in MD which also borders WV and I believe that the spring of 2011 will be split here too. First part of the season hunt til noon, later part hunt all day. I also hear that there is most likely going to be some Sunday hunts thrown in there too. "Official" dates and regs aren't out yet, but that's the word on the street.

Whoho, I haven't updated this diary for > 8 months..
Today Georg Schlossnagle announced his rewrite of the Apache hooks for PHP. Sounds very cool. I'm currently working on PEAR's bug reporting system which will be integrated into bugs.php.net. Apart from that I'm fighting with the usual flood of contribution requests for PEAR: Looks like there are thousand of developers out there willing to join their code. Great.
Next week some preparation courses for university will start, but I'm not sure if I should really attend there. The course will be about mathematics and are especially of interest for people which haven't worked much with maths in the past year(s). But actually I have been inhaling maths until May, so I don't see a real need for me to join the course.

in all fairness IMO GWB had a bad habit of surrounding himself with some incompetent, unqualified people in positions of power, Alberto Gonzales, Chris Cox,John Ashcroft, Harriet Miers, Donald Rumsfeld...and to some extent Dick Cheney, and the list goes on
The other choices were Gore & Kerry - everyone, including your side, acknowledged there was something amiss in the ME. As Bon said there were some awful poor choices (rather like it is now ) to head up things happening - but that was also discussed on this forum.

I don't have to do that here , so you, like the many English majors employed in a field other than what they studied for, can criticize to your heart's content . I had a Prof in school that weighed reports for verbiage rather than reading them - did not score high on his list - But though he was good at what he did - it was easy to see why he criticized others rather than leading them!!!!!!!!

Reviews for this host's other properties
I enjoyed the apartment very much. It is very comfortable and really well placed... and I must say (visiting much places here) that in my opinion this district is the most beautiful part of Athens. it is clean... it is green..... interesting coast - many different beaches from wide sand ones to even quite wild with rocks wonderful for snorkeling especially... quite close to Acropolis, Placa .... quite close to Piraeus (possibility of visiting some islands ) a lot of well equipped shops around... good communication... just everything perfect.
We recently stayed at this Penthouse apartment with pool in the center of Athens. The stay could not have been nicer. We were there with 6 kids and 5 adults total and the place was beyond spacious and comfortable. The roof deck with pool was the best part of the space - such a great amenity - and the direct view of the Acropolis was not bad either! The Owner was extremely helpful, and George arranged for drivers for our trip. A plus!
Very nice apartment close to all services : bakery, restaurants, pubs, and the beaches of course. You can easily walk to Lake Vouliagmeni (less than 10 minutes walk). Well equipped apartment with a pretty patio as shown on profile pictures.
We spent days in the vintage apartment and i fully recommend it to everyone. The apartment is well equipted. It is located outside but with public transport easy to go everywhere.
We had wonderful 5 days there! :)
I had never thought about the possibility of being able to book an apartment when traveling.
The network is Widmu I seemed rich and well articulated on Athens where we traveled for a stay June 21 to 26 ..
The apartment has lived up to our expectations and also reception services, check-out were good.
I think I will repeat the experience in other occasions
Non avevo mai pensato alla possibilità di poter prenotare un appartamento quando si viaggia.
La rete di Widmu mi é sembrata ricca e ben articolata su Atene dove abbiamo viaggiato per un soggiorno dal 21 al 26 giugno..
L'appartamento si è rivelato all'altezza delle nostre aspettative e anche i servizi di accoglienza, check-out sono stati buoni.
Penso che ripeteró l'esperienza in altre occasioni
The apartment was at the center of Athen. It was beautiful and it had everything what we needed for this trip. The coordination with George was funtastic. I will recommand it for sure !!!! :)
Contact person was on time at the apartment, training was short (without forgetting important) and friendly.
Very nice apartment, simply furnished but functional.
Had (unfortunately only two days) a very good time in a pleasant environment.
To Athens and tavernas and bars all to reach the beach, Einkaufsmöglichskeiten, tram on foot.
With great pleasure again.
Kontaktperson war pünktlich an der Wohnung, Einweisung war kurz (ohne wichtiges zu vergessen) und freundlich.
Sehr schöne Wohnung, einfach eingerichtet aber zweckmässig.
Hatten (leider nur zwei Tage) eine sehr schöne Zeit in angenehmer Umgebung.
Strand, Einkaufsmöglichskeiten, Strassenbahn nach Athen und Tavernen bzw. Bars alles zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Sehr gerne wieder.
I have been in the flat for 5 nights. The situation of the flat is okay. It's a little bit far to the centre but therefore it is really quite and there is an other centre/big streets with a lot of stores really near. Still, it doesn't take too long to get to the centre (Akropolis). Wheter you can take the bus/metro and it takes you 10-15min or you take a Taxi, which is also not expensive and only takes 10mins.
The elevator is helpful, the balcony is a nice place to sit and the room are also clean and well furnished. The wifi Router is directly next to the bed but still it is slow or sometimes not even usable.
All in all it was a great stay in Athens and I would totally recommend this flat.
Apartment address has been entered inaccurately - as Merarchias 0, 185 35 Pireas, Greece.
The search for appropriate address it took approx. 20 minutes. and another call in roaming to the host, who gave the correct address 2as Merarchias 19.
Adres mieszkania podany został nieprecyzyjnie - as Merarchias 0, 185 35 Pireas, Grecja.
Poszukiwanie właściwego adresu zajęło ok. 20 min. i kolejny telefon w roamingu do gospodarza, który podał właściwy adres 2as Merarchias 19.
Beautiful apartment to relax. Close to a supermarket and public transport. Many shops close by for shopping. Good advice from the host to find a restaurant.
Bel appartement pour se détendre. Proche d'un supermarché et des transports en commun. Nombreux magasins tout proches pour faire du shopping. De bons conseils de l'hôte pour trouver un restaurant.

Exhibition themes Inca
The Inca Empire only lasted 100 years, a short time for such a vast and famous enterprise. The Incas conquered all Peru and much of Chile, Bolivia, Argentina and Ecuador. The state, ruled by the divine Sapa Inca, governed from the capital city Cuzco by a system of duties, taxes and rewards. 20,000 kilometres of roads enabled efficient and speedy communication. The royal family's name was given to the culture they created. Their Quechua language was the lingua franca throughout the empire, surviving the Spanish invasion of 1532–33; it is still spoken today.
The emperor was the son of the Sun God and the pinnacle of an extremely hierarchical society. The Inca state religion demanded sacrifices, human and animal—even textiles were burnt as offerings to the gods. Architecture, such as that found at the famous World Heritage Site Machu Picchu, was the glory of Inca culture: temples, palaces, terraces and fortifications of huge stone blocks were fitted together, mostly without masonry. Almost all Incan metalwork was stolen by the conquistadors and melted down for coins.
Our knowledge of Inca society is filtered through the worldview of Spanish chroniclers. The Inca state of at least 12 million people fell very rapidly, due to superior European military technology, civil war and introduced diseases, especially smallpox. Perhaps 90 per cent of the native population, more than 10 million people, was killed or died of disease and famine after the conquest.

Anti-Chavez Protesters March on State Energy Co.
CARACAS, Venezuela
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Thousands of university students protested in Venezuela's capital on Thursday, accusing President Hugo Chavez of forcing an opposition channel off cable and satellite TV as part of a broader strategy aimed at curbing criticism of mounting domestic problems.
It was the fifth straight day of student protests following the removal of Radio Caracas Television Internacional, or RCTV.
''We are not going to allow continued shutdowns of media outlets that tell the truth, and we are not going to allow ineptitude and inefficiency to continue,'' said Nizar El Sakih, a student leader.
Government critics argue Chavez is responsible for pressing problems ranging from double-digit inflation to violent crime to rolling blackouts, and demonstrators marched to the headquarters of the state-run electricity company to call attention to the energy shortages.
The government says RCTV was removed for refusing to comply with a new rule obliging media outlets to televise mandatory programming, including Chavez's speeches.
On Thursday, the president accused the students of trying to stir up violence as a means of destabilizing his government.
''There are some attempting to set fire to the country,'' Chavez said in a televised address. ''What are they seeking? Death.''
The socialist leader vowed to crack down on street demonstrations that turn violent.
''We cannot permit this,'' he said. ''The state and the government must impose authority.''
Two youths have been killed and dozens of people injured during this week's protests.
Some of the demonstrations have produced clashes between pro-Chavez and opposition-sided students. Police have broken up other protests with tear gas and plastic bullets.

Cardiac amyloidosis is a disorder caused by deposits of an abnormal protein (amyloid) in the heart tissue, which make it hard for the heart to work properly.
Amyloidosis - cardiac; Primary cardiac amyloidosis - AL type; Secondary cardiac amyloidosis - AA type; Stiff heart syndrome; Senile amyloidosis
Amyloidosis refers to a family of diseases in which there is a buildup of clumps of proteins called amyloids in body tissues and organs. These proteins slowly replace normal tissue, leading to failure of the involved organ. There are many forms of amyloidosis.
Cardiac amyloidosis usually occurs during primary amyloidosis (AL type amyloidosis). Primary amyloidosis is often seen in people with multiple myeloma cancer.
Cardiac amyloidosis ("stiff heart syndrome") occurs when amyloid deposits take the place of normal heart muscle. It is the most typical type of
Secondary amyloidosis (AA type) rarely affects the heart. However, a form of secondary amyloidosis called senile amyloidosis involves the heart and blood vessels. Senile amyloidosis is caused by overproduction of a different protein. The condition is becoming more common as the average age of the population increases.
Cardiac amyloidosis is more common in men than in women. The disease is rare in people under age 40.
Some patients may have no symptoms. Those who do may experience:
It can be difficult to diagnose cardiac amyloidosis, because the signs can be related to a number of different conditions.
Signs may include:
The following tests may be performed to help diagnose cardiac amyloidosis:
An ECG may show problems with the heart beat or heart signals (conduction disturbance).
A cardiac biopsy is used to confirm the diagnosis. A biopsy of another area, such as the abdomen, kidney, or bone marrow, is often done to confirm the diagnosis.
Your doctor may tell you to change your diet. This may include salt and fluid restrictions.
You may need to take water pills (diuretics) to help your body remove excess fluid. The doctor may tell you to weigh yourself every day. A weight gain of 3 or more pounds over 1 - 2 days can mean there is too much fluid in the body.
Digoxin, calcium channel blockers, and beta blockers may be used with caution in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, the dosage must be carefully monitored. Patients with cardiac amyloidosis may be unusually sensitive to any side effects.
Other treatments may include:
A heart transplant may be considered for some patients with very poor heart function. However, it is not done in those with AL type amyloidosis, because the disease weakens many other organs. People with hereditary amyloidosis will need a liver transplant.
Cardiac amyloidosis is a long-term (chronic) condition that slowly gets worse. On average, persons with cardiac amyloidosis live less than 1 year.

The rural population is fed up with the govt's inability to protect them from the violence of the drug cartels, so they have started their own self-defense patrols. The victims finally got fed up, and have taken matters into their own hands.
The govt, so far, is pretty much leaving them alone to defend themselves ... with their machetes, single-shot, bolt action rifles, and shotguns. Wonder what they would have to say about gun control laws?

I've recently found the ROTS Obi-Wan Kenobi Mini Saber at my local Best Buy but there was no sign of Anakin's.
Has anyone found this mini saber yet???
My Best Buy just received their shipment of Obi-Wan's saber last night (one of the employees was kind enough to take my name/number, hold one for me, and call me when it arrived).
If you look up Anakin's saber on bestbuy.com and click on the "estimated arrival time" option beneath the price, it lists 5/10-5/16 with ground shipping, putting its release around 5/9-5/10. I think we'll see it next week for certain.

Yup, it is indeed out. I found it this evening at Best Buy in Burbank, CA - bought one, opened it up and it's the gold one. I had to go back in and buy another one (normal) for my collection!
Wouldn't that have been a bite if you got the second one, cracked it open and it was a gold one too?? Would kinda suck getting something better than you expected and not really wanting or needing it.Originally Posted by Kenobi

heh that's exactly what my buddy who was with me at the time and I were saying.
I love this saber, definitely my favorite in the mini collection but of course I'm a Vader freak....
Luke's ESB lightsaber used to be my favorite... but it is very close now with the Anakin ROTS. The sleak idealized ROTS version looks great! I hope my BB gets the mini in soon.
Finally found the Anakin. I was on my way to Richmond and stopped by a BB in Fredricksburg because it was right off 95. Lucked out. They had 4 Anakins as well as a bunch of Sidious and a few Ob-Wans.

Morgan Stanley's Katy Huberty today reiterates an Overweight rating on shares of Apple (AAPL), and a $540 price target, offering up the findings of the firm's "AlphaWise" tracking of sentiment about the iPhone, which suggest the September quarter could see higher-than-expected sales.
Writes Huberty, the survey, which "includes Web search data through September 15th" from the U.S., the U.K., Germany, France, China and Japan, suggests,
Our analysis indicates iPhone demand of 34.5Munits in C3Q13. This is better than our forecast of 31M and consensus expectations in the low 30Ms. It is also 2.5M higher than our smartphone tracker at the end of
August, representing early demand for the new iPhone 5s and 5c. See exhibits on page 2 for more details.
The same survey actually pegs sales this quarter of Samsung Electronics's (005930KS) Galaxy line of phones at 47 million units, a bit higher than consensus for 45 million units.
Regarding concerns of investors that Apple did not announce on Monday how many pre-orders it received on Friday for the iPhone 5C, Huberty argues it doesn't matter: "We don't view pre-orders in 2013 as comparable to past years given the higher-end iPhone 5s, which is the more likely choice for early adopters, isn't available for

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Its a long time since I whacked a fish on the head. If I go out with that goal in mind I still have a couple of priests from my salmon fishing days. One of them probably still has a scale or two attached and might be up to the job of dispatching a keeper.
Last year I told myself that I would take a keeper for the pot but I was always a long way from home without an ice box nearby so they all went back to fight another day.
This year maybe. I tell mysef I keep my options open. When the time is right I'll take one to eat and a whack on the head is a very effective way to dispatch a fish if you know what you're doing! Big fish are not easy to kill. The blue water guys have a version of a priest that looks about the size of a baseball bat.
I guess it's not discussed because it sems so obvious. Bonk the fish on the head and it stops wiggling. Most flyfishermen don't kill enough fish to carry a special tool for the task. Bleed it if that's what's required (very fast and humane). I have read all sorts of techniques: straight into the ice chest, apply liquor to the gills, stick a screw driver into it's brain, cut out it's heart, slit a major artery. What ever works for your harvest.
C&R, on the other hand is a more demanding skill. I suspect that we all could do better in that dept. May as well minimize the impact on the fish if you're going to let it go. If you're going to kill it, minimizing damage to the meat should be the priority.
|Another great recipe as I proved to folks at the past few boneclaves is blackened blue - bleed and ice, then pat with light olive oil and rub Chef Paul Prohdomme's blackened redfish magic before grilling, preferably on a fish basket. Easy, healthy and damn good.
The proper way to dispatch of Bluefish:
Apply boga grip to lower jaw. Remove fly.
Hang fish over side of boat.
Rip flillet knife across gills and cut throat, bleeding the fish.
Immediately ice.
Fillet, cutting out the dark oily bits along lateral line. Soak fillets in whole milk/butter milk in fridge for 1/2 hour.
Pat dry, dip in egg, dust with breadcrumbs and pan fry.
Place fillets on a hamburger roll with lettuce, tomato, tartar and/or hot sauce. Enjoy with an ice cold brewski.
Fish Whacker/Priest
I have lurched on this forum for quite some time and noticed that fish whackers (what we would call them back in Oregon) and priests (what our friends in the UK call them) really aren't discussed here or on any fly fishing sites (in general). People will mention bonking fish, but no one ever goes beyond that.
When I was in Americorps, I remember an intercity Denver event where a swimming pool (unchlorinated) was filled with farmed rainbows so that kids that never got out of town could be exposed to fishing. The stupid thing that the organizers didn't think of was proper dispatching of the fish. I rember 8-10 year olds throwing these trout in the air, crying kids, flopping fish and horrible abuse of fine animals.
From that day forward, I realized truly how far removed (ignorant) most modern (American) humans are from proper methods of how to kill fish. I know that Catch and Release (C&R) is the seemingly preferred method of angling these days, but shouldn't there be at least one post about proper fish dispatching??
The talk about gear here is proficient, but I haven't seen any posts directly regarding this bloodsport aspect of our chosen recreation. I think that a thread about proper (respectful even) killing of our fish is in order.
Since the wife moved us to Wyoming, I find that the only way to get quality fish is to kill them myself (or herself when my wife is doing the bonking). My wife really prefers her custom whacker that she carved in high school shop class and used when she volunteered at a hatchery along the Columbia.
This is very unPETA of me, but do you carry a fish whacker? Did you make it yourself? Purchase it? Is it a multitool (I've seen photos of a sweet brass tipped priest that is also has a quality fold out bottle opener)?
Good fishing and good eats,

Sea ducks are on the bucket list. Great hunt!
I do mostly diver hunting with my lab on Green Bay and Lake Michigan, it's a different game then going for puddle ducks. Lots of casting since she marks very few due to the boat setup.
As far as eating them... I finally found a way the family likes them. I cut the breasts into strips, bread, fry and douse them in buffalo wing sauce. Fresh buffalo duck is quickly becoming a tradition during the Packer game!

University Researchers Demonstrate New Virtual Reality Technology
Fairbanks, Alaska - Most people can imagine using a computer program to produce art. But imagine having the ability to run a 3D-computer program with your body-without the aid of a mouse or keyboard.
This is just the kind of technology that Chris Hartman, a University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Computer Science faculty member, and Bill Brody, head of UAF's Art Department, are striving for. Last month Hartman took his and Brody's ideas to Orlando, Florida, for demonstration at Supercomputing '98, the annual international high performance networking and computing conference.
Hartman and Brody are using virtual reality technology at the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center to design a program called Body Language User Interface (BLUI).
"It's a three-dimensional drawing program," says Hartman, "But what makes it special is that it's based on your gestures." The user draws on a virtual reality screen with a wand, and can "undo" with a shake of the head, or "quit" by dropping his or her hands to the side.
Hartman said they're working on a feature for the interface which will, in the near future, take video input from either side of a Pyramid Systems ImmersaDesk visualization screen and give the computer "eyes" to recognize the users' hand as a tool. As an open hand swipes across a line on a 3D sketch, the line will widen. A grabbing motion will replace the usual "select" menu.
"There are other ways out there to do this, such as data gloves," Hartman said. "But they all require expensive special equipment. Our interface will be much simpler and use readily available hardware."
Another benefit of the system is that it could act as an interface for scientific data visualization and analysis programs, Brody said. These programs model scientific data into 3-, 4- and 5Dspace.
"Eventually Bill wants to sculpt-to do things you normally wouldn't be able to do with certain materials," says Hartman. This would mean an artist might be able to add rock to a sculpture, something that is impossible in reality. The researchers will use video cameras to capture human gestures and create and manipulate virtual objects. Some information is still based on how the user moves the wand and where the user looks on the screen with the aid of special glasses. "Ideally, you eventually won't use the wand at all," says Hartman.
Hartman and Brody will demonstrate this new program on a 7 foot Pyramid Systems Virtual Reality ImmersaDesk, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon Dec. 3, in Butrovich 007 on the UAF Campus.

Yesterday was supposed to be 80, it turned out to be 72. Today is supposed to be 72, right now it's fairly mild with a light breeze, but it's a VERY strong sunshine factor showing up.
I'm thinking about what to do during Comic-Con as it's about to heat up and my collection, plus my DVR, might not survive if it gets too warm. I won't leave the A/C on but I am trying to decide between shutting everything to keep it cool (basically blacking out the place) or leaving everything open for the breeze.

Court documents reveal 5th graders' plans to kill classmates
COLVILLE, Wash. - Court documents give chilling details about the plans of two fifth-graders from Colville to kill a girl classmate and possibly others on the day they were caught with a knife and gun in school last week.
The court documents were released Wednesday.
The Spokesman-Review reports that the boys, ages 10 and 11, remain in custody on charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, tampering with a witness and conspiracy to possess a firearm after they were arrested last Thursday.
Under Washington law, children ages 8 to 12 are presumed not to have the mental capacity to form the intent to commit crime.
But Deputy Prosecutor Lech Radzimski will present the court records to a judge on Feb. 20 to try to show why law enforcement officials believe they have enough evidence to overcome that presumption.

What are your favorite teams looking for?
Who do you think they will pick?
Packers need a OT to protect the franchise, and a pass rusher to offset Matthews.
Having lost three starting O linemen over the last three season during Free Agency, I'd say my team needs at least one O Tackle, if not two. I expect Loomis/Payton to take a D player with the 15th pick. Either Jarvis Jones OLB UGA or Kenny Vacarro Saftey U Texas. They'll probably go for some O line depth later in the draft. I would hate to see RB Chris Ivory go to the Jets though the Backfield is loaded and we could use another 4th rounder.
as for who will my team draft...who knows...doesnt really matter, they have hitched their wagon to Romo and left the keys in Jason Garrett's hands...having Bill Callahan coming in will only complicate things, he has left a mess behind him in wherever he has coached...
and Franco , I dont think Atlanta is the team to worry about...I think that SF and Seattle only get better...I just think Tony Gonzales will regret coming back for one more year..never been a big Matt Ryan fan...
I will watch to see if the kid from A&M goes # 1....wish my Boys could get that Mingo kid from LSU but he will be long gone, but there will lots of his teammates being drafted...
My Steelers could use a tight end, and get younger on the defensive side of the ball. But their o line needs to stay healthy or they will be drafting a QB next year:rolleyes:. They usually do pretty good drafting in the later rounds I'm not sure who they will take but I'm sure it will be the best player on the board at the time that fits their needs.
Lots of folks talking about Kiki Mingo going early in the draft. I'd pick LSU DE Sam Montgomery ahead of Mingo, solely based on a better college career.
Vikings are in need of a middle linebacker, I hoping they don't pick one that may or may not have an imaginary girlfriend/boyfriend who died of something. They are in desperate need of a QB, which is obvious to everyone but the head coach.
The talk is the Packers drafting the big TE out of ND.
That is a luxury they can ill afford.
More likely an OT, DE, LB in the first 3 rounds.
Unless Thompson trade the 1st rounder away for a few 3rd, 4th, 5th round picks which he will use on LB's.
Me, I would take an OT if available to protect the franchise.
Gonna do some traing and get home to watch.
Amazing how this has become a must see event.............
The Bears new HC got Aaron Kroner to be his OC. There aren't many solid young OC as good as him. That was a major move is a positive direction for the Bears. If anyone can improve Cutler's game it would be Kroner. Look for the Bears to throw a lot more off of Play Action. If Cutler doesn't have what it takes, he'll be gone before the season ends.
I think teams taking the best player available over need is the way to go in the draft. As badley as we need an OT, OLB and S, if a guy like Tavon Austin WR is still there for the 15th pick, I expect my team to take him. I do expect the Jets to take Tavon. I'd be happy with my team drafting the best D player in the SEC last season, Jarvis Jones OLB.

Assignment: Education - Academic Decathlon
Melrose-Mindoro Academic Decathlon Team Wins State Competition
MELROSE, Wis. - These Melrose-Mindoro High School students are warming up.
"We got to run with the big dogs," said Randy Ebert, Melrose-Mindoro Academic Decathlon coach.
But they are not a part of the track team.
"It's an awesome team sport," said Jake Merrell, Academic Decathlon member.
Their feet are in motion because their brains are racing.
"You're expected to kind of go through and know a whole bunch of facts about seven different subject areas," said Kelsey Woodward, Academic Decathlon member.
This team practice is to prepare these 14 students for their next big Academic Decathlon.
"This is a nerd binder," said Ebert.19872996
Inside this, so called, nerd binder is everything these students need to know to prepare them for the ten events and the Super Quiz that make up the decathlon.
"You're almost supposed to memorize it so you can just pull facts at random," said Woodward.
"The overall theme of decathlon this year is Russia," said Ebert. "And each year they have a theme and all of the art, music and everything else relates to that theme."
"One night we had a crash course in Russian language," said Woodward. "That was interesting."
The students meet for about three hours every Sunday night beginning in September to prepare for their first competition in November.
"You have two months to learn seven subjects all the way through," said Woodward. "So, you go."
"I teach in an hour on a Sunday night what would take me a week to teach in a classroom," said Ebert.
And laughter helps this team retain pages upon pages of information so they're prepared for all seven tests, an essay, two speeches and an interview.
"I think the key really is to make it as fun as possible," said Ebert.
"The thing is repetition," said Merrell. "The more times you can use that information you have stored in your brain the more chances you are going to be able to pull it out and use it in a test."
This Academic Decathlon coach of 29 years has seen his style of coaching really pay off.
"We are the winning-est team of any kind in the school's history, said Ebert.
"We have been to Regionals 26 years in a row. We have been 2nd or 1st in the Regionals every year for the past 5 years. We've been to state 7 of the last 10 years."
And this year, the Mel-Min Academic Decathlon team accomplished something no other team at their high school has done before.
"We're the first team to win a state championship," said Merrell.
"This year it was just like... first and first and it was just like, 'Wow,'"said Woodward.
"For a school of 220 kids... yeah... they rocked it," said Ebert.
Now these students are warming up and stretching their brains for the national competition.
"We've done better and better as years go on," said Ebert. "Part of that success.... and this is true of any athletic team... a lot of your success depends on the people who came before you."
So, maybe, slow and steady really does win the race.

As part of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center's efforts to improve the standard of cancer treatments for patients worldwide, the Department of Radiology at Memorial Sloan Kettering has developed a training program entitled "The Applicability of the Bi-Rads Lexicon to Mammographic Detection of Breast Cancer in South East Europe" with support from the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
Breast cancer incidence in South East Europe (SEE) is the third highest in the world, after North America and Western Europe. The objective of this training program is to bring the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) lexicon of the American College of Radiology to South East Europe. This lexicon provides a standardized language for the interpretation of breast imaging studies, including mammography, ultrasound, and MRI. The goal of the project is to disseminate knowledge of BI-RADS and facilitate the creation of databases for longitudinal studies relating breast imaging findings with pathologic outcomes in SEE countries, starting with Croatia. Intensive individualized instruction in the BI-RADS lexicon and in clinical research methodology is given to selected Croatian radiologists who come to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center through the Breast Cancer Research Foundation grant. As part of their fellowship, these trainees translate the lexicon into their native language so that it may be used by colleagues when they return home. To date, five Croatian radiologists have completed training.
As a result of these efforts, Croatia began breast cancer screening in October 2006. In addition to furthering their work with Croatian radiologists, efforts have been expanded to include radiologists from other Eastern European countries, including Romania and Russia.
