Jamie Foxx talks "Django Unchained," slavery and "Hee Haw"
Two words, you probably never imagined coming from Jamie Foxx: "Hee Haw."
The Oscar-winning actor is on the phone talking about pitching director Quentin Tarantino to give him the title role in "Django Unchained" when he mentions the TV show.
"I had that upbringing. Of watching 'Bonanza,' watching 'Hee Haw,' which both black and white would watch," says Foxx, who grew up in Terrell, Texas. "I rode horses. I did gun spinning as a kid. I do these things," he told him.
This is vintage Foxx. He's not a method actor so much as an American renaissance guy. He set records as a quarterback at Terrell High. Hence his comfort in Oliver Stone's gridiron drama "Any Given Sunday." He earned a scholarship to study classical music and composition. Hence "Ray," for which he won an Academy Award for his depiction of Ray Charles.
Do all pitch meetings with the actor end with him saying with a grin, "been there, done that"?
"I told Quentin, whomever he gets is going to be fantastic. But I want to put my hat in the ring. It would take the pressure off, I told him. It all worked out."
It did indeed. Foxx delivers a hero of glower and glory in the tale of a slave who assists a German bounty hunter named Dr. King Schultz in tracking down a trio of brutes known as the Brittle Brothers.
In exchange for his help, Schultz frees Django. Instead of parting ways, the two become partners. Christoph Waltz plays Schultz, who decides to help Django find and free his wife, Broomhilda.
Foxx knows that his home state has that unique quality of being both Western and Southern. Which is nearly perfect for Tarantino's latest payback saga. (Tarantino loves pay-back. In 2009, the director made the Holocaust revenge flick, "Inglourious Basterds," for which Waltz won an Oscar for his turn as a Nazi.)
"Django Unchained" boldly mixes two genres, one cinematic, the other literary: the gunslinging Western and the American slave narrative. Continued...
Django and Schultz's quest to free Broomhilda is by turns amusing and dark, poignant and profound.
"When I read the script, the thing I gravitated toward was the love story between Broomhilda and Django," Foxx says. "That's what really drew me to it."
Kerry Washington portrays Django's wife. After they were separated, Broomhilda was sent to a plantation called
"Candyland." Leonardo DiCaprio, uncharacteristically portraying the baddie, plays third-generation plantation owner Calvin Candie, and Samuel L. Jackson creates a new villain as Candie's most trusted slave, Stephen.
The chemistry between Foxx and Waltz catapults their characters high up the list of best onscreen partnerships.
Foxx, 45, believes sharing his upbringing helped. He told Waltz some stories about growing up in the racially segregated Texas town where, he says matter-of-factly, "I was called nigger every other day."
Foxx then does a lovely imitation of the German-Austrian actor's flustered reaction. "I, I, I can't. I don't. I don't. I don't..."
"He really felt a certain compassion hearing the stories of what happened to me," says Foxx.
From all accounts, things got heavy for the "Django" cast when the production moved to a plantation near New Orleans. Evergreen Plantation stood in for Candyland.
"Evergreen Plantation is the most intact plantation complex in the South with 37 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, including 22 slave cabins," states the plantation's website. Continued...
"I learned so much stuff being on this plantation," Foxx says. "How the plantation worked. What it was all about. And some of the terrible things. The names of kids that were exterminated because they wanted the moms to get back out to the field."
"It's something you have to admire to see that we evolved. The whole country evolved, black and white folks."
Foxx brought both his daughters down for a set visit. The four-year-old ran around as little ones are wont to do. But for his older daughter, the actor seized it as the kind of teachable moment parents are so fond of.
"See what you came from," he told 18-year-old Corinne. "See what you're allowed to do, to wear your Gucci, your Louis, ride in your whatever because these people laid it down in such an incredible way."

DUBLIN, Ireland, March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets announces the addition of "Voice Command, Control and Search on Mobile Phones: Market Analysis & Forecasts" to its catalogue.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
Despite being primarily a voice device, the mobile phone is largely controlled by non-voice mechanisms. Keypads and touchscreens continue to act as the primary modes of input. However, handsets now sit on the cusp of full command and control through voice, largely being fuelled as smartphone platforms play catch-up with Apple's Siri.
This report provides a comprehensive insight into the growing importance of voice command, control and search on handsets, analysing the impact this shift is having on the entire mobile ecosystem, from platform owners to OEMs and from carriers to web-content providers.
ARCchart forecasts that 1.8 billion mobile phones with some form of voice control functions will ship globally by 2016, accounting for almost 90% of the handsets shipping that year.
Subjecs covered by the report include:
- Evolution of handset voice command
- On-device versus remote voice processing
- Speech capture, sampling, recognition and verification
- Natural language recognition
- Voice-driven search
- Intuitive assistance and artificial intelligence
- Voice control ecosystem
- Speech recognition engine suppliers
- Company profiles
- Market sizing and forecasts
- Third-party voice applications
- Smartphone platform voice command support
- Basic voice control versus Rich voice control
Key Questions Answered:
- What role do 'answer-service' providers play in voice search?
- How can cellular operators take advantage of the rise in voice control?
- Which smartphone platforms will be vulnerable because of poor support for voice control?
- Will a market still exist for third-party voice command apps?
- Will OS platforms be forced to bring speech recognition technology in-house?
- How many Rich voice handsets will ship in 2016?
- Which region will see the largest shipment of voice control handsets?
- How will revenue generated from voice search advertising grow over the coming years?

Since 1998, when he broke through to the mainstream with his head-rattling, rump-shaking explosion of rap-rock swagger, "Bawitdaba,'' Kid Rock has shown remarkable staying power.
Others may be better songwriters, singers, or rappers, but few artists work as hard and have as much fun as the relentlessly proud son of Detroit. Over the years Rock has shrewdly, and sincerely, refined his good-time sound to land comfortably at a spot where Bob Seger intersects with Run-DMC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and AC/DC. That's a hell of a crossroads and Saturday night at Comcast Center, in front of one of the season's loudest crowds, Rock worked it like the world's most badass and excitable traffic cop.
With the able aid of his crackling Twisted Brown Trucker Band, and with the occasional assistance of pole dancers and pyro, Rock sprinted through his catalog - from wriggly-browed raunch to heartfelt heartbreakers - with a natural-born sense of showmanship and the mischievous grin of a man who knows the party whereof he speaks.

I must have viewed at least 20 youtube videos about machine quilting. Only one mentioned changing the throatplate from a zigzag to a single stitch. Just wondering if you have found this to be helpful. Another video was doing free-motion quilting and she said to leave the feed dogs up. This is contrary to every thing that I've ever seen and heard! However, her video only showed her doing a straight line. Odd! I would have liked to have seen her do a stipple stitch with the feed dogs up. One of the videos said to lower the stitch length to zero. I don't remember hearing that one before either. Is that necessary when you've dropped the feed dogs?This message has been edited. Last edited by: CA Lori, | |||
I'm no expert but whether to leave the feed dogs up or down seems to be a matter of personal preference. When you change the stitch length to zero, the feed dogs go up and down but NOT back and forth and won't advance the fabric. You determine the length of the stitch by the movement of your hands. The single hole plate supposedly keeps the fabric from being pushed down into the hole. Try it both ways and see which you like best. www.floridafarmgirlsworld.blogspot.com Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain. | ||||
I would suggest going to Leah Day's website. I think she is an awesome FM quilter. Check out her section that is titled "The Free Motion Qulting Project" listed in Chronological Order where she has created over 300 FM designs. She has great videos showing how to make each one. Her whole site is FULL of wonderful information. http://www.daystyledesigns.com/365project.htm Nicki We live in the home of the free...because of the brave. | ||||
When I have FMQ'd on my sewing machine, I've used the only throat plate I have (zigzag) and it's worked well. I've used minkee, fleece and lots of cotton backings and never had issues. I've done loose designs and tight micro stippling and feathers and the throat plate/fabric getting stuck in the hole hasn't been a problem at all. My Tin Lizzie midarm has a single stitch hole and that's fine too. FFG answered the feed dogs well. Traditionally, they don't need to be used with FMQ. They would be dragging the fabric in one direction while you're trying to move it another. Some quilters like the extra friction the feed dogs provide. I prefer them out of the way. No reason to add wear and tear on my fabrics nor to damage the feed dogs. Since the stitch length determines how much the feed dogs travel front to back each stitch, you're saving more wear on the machine's parts if you set that length to zero. Recently, I saw or read that someone used sponges instead of gloves to help control the quilt sandwich while quilting. I haven't tried that method, but I dislike gloves. It sounds like a terrific idea! Give it a try and come back with questions. We're happy to help. | ||||
since i've only used my throat plate that lets me zig zag stitch when FMQing, I'd be afraid to put my single hole plate on. but i guess you could. but why? it's not necessary at all. sometimes advice isn't always right. | ||||
I've switched to the single-hole throat plate when doing free motion and like it better. No chance for the fabric to get pushed down into the space and it moves smoother over the surface. And Yes, I noticed a difference. | ||||
nlk, thanks for Leah Day's website. It's wonderful. Her video was so professionally done. | ||||
If you use the single-hole throat plate, the bobbin thread can only go straight up and out. Less chance on uneven tension showing on the curves when free motion quilting. piney | ||||
I use a single hole needle plate and I do prefer the feed dogs up and helping,I also turn the stitch length to 0. It does not drag my fabric it is terrific for me. It is a personal preference whether you lower the dogs or not and sometimes your machine dictates. Actually it was our Boziea who shared with me the setting she used and dogs up and I did that way from then on because it worked and I don't get eyelashes or skipped stitches.I also use a topstitch needle Size 14 or larger. May "In Michigan" | ||||
eyelashes, thanks, May. That is what I was trying to say. piney | ||||
What machine do you own? I've accidentally left my feed dogs up several times and notice no difference. As Leah says: improve your fmq with practice, practice, and practice more. I made four identical wallhangings last week. By the time I finished tge quilting on #4 I really liked what I was doing and wanted overs. On 1, 2, & 3. | ||||
I have a Bernina Activa 130 (got it in 2000--I sure do miss my old Singer Touch & Sew though!). It doesn't have the needle down feature, so that's kind of a nuisance. Hopefully, I'll get to quilting my three table runners sometime this week. I'm going to try a sample of stippling with the feed dogs up, which I had no idea could be done. Right now I'm not too crazy about my practice sessions with the feed dogs down. My biggest decision is how to attack the project--where to start and where to go with my stitching. The runners consist of two rows of five 8" squares plus a 2-inch border and it's got about 24 safety pins spaced about the size of a fist apart.This message has been edited. Last edited by: CA Lori, | ||||
Another trick I've used rather than gloves to help grip my fabric - I buy rubber shelf liner at my dollar store and cut into squares, rougly 3". I use these squares to help me guide the fabric - my hands don't slip. | ||||

Home Checklists Mainpage
PURPOSE How sustainable is my home? What are some things I can do to make it more sustainable? Can I improve the sustainability of my home without spending a lot of money? The Leonardo Academy home sustainability checklists are designed to help you answer these questions. The checklists will help you evaluate how sustainable your home is, as well as provide ideas for increasing home sustainability that include many no or low cost actions. HOW TO USE THE CHECKLISTS The most important action is to START. Begin with one checklist or all four. Print a copy of each checklist and date it. Go through each list, recording the actions you are doing and how consistently you do them. Add up your points. This score is the baseline for gauging your progress. Look over the list to find additional actions you could take and make plans to take them. Periodically, fill out the checklists again to see if the sustainability score of your home has improved. The path to sustainability is a process that occurs over time. Continuing to add more actions to your "I do it" list is the path to home sustainability. EMPLOYERS, ENCOURAGE EMPLOYEES TO BECOME MORE SUSTAINABLE Employers can support sustainability beyond the company or organization by encouraging employees to use these checklists to improve their home sustainability. |
THE CHECKLISTS Checklists for four areas of sustainability are provided:
Each checklist includes a section on Easy No-Cost or Low-Cost actions that can be taken to increase the sustainability of your home. Other sections include actions that may have a cost, such as purchasing new appliances and equipment. You may decide to implement these actions when present appliances or equipment need to be replaced. The most important action is to START increasing your home's sustainability. The checklists assign points to each possible action to allow you to keep track of your progress along the sustainability pathway. |

I was thinking of my future career goals. I am currently a computer science major with a psychology minor. I wanted a job that I was able to combine computer programming to something psychology related and do research on it. I looked up some careers and only found out about Human Factors Psychology, but I didnt find much about that job or any companies that work with that career.
Any advice you could give me on jobs that could combine research, computer programming and psychology together?

Hollis, Tipton and Frederick begin the post high school football season on Friday.
Hollis will host Okeene, Tipton will entertain Buffalo while Frederick will be at home against Marietta all in first round playoff games.
Okeene at Hollis
Class A
7:30 p.m.
Coach Reade Box's Tigers are in the playoffs for the second year in a row.
Hollis' flex bone offense has riddled defenses for 371 points in the the 10 game regular season. The Tigers defense has played well also yielding an average of 10 points per game.
The Tigers brings an 8-1 record into the contest. Their lone loss was a seven point setback at the hands of third ranked Thomas.
After being shunned by the pollsters for most of the season, Hollis is ranked ninth in the Class A.
Okeene (6-4) has averaged 33 points a game while yielding 23 points per outing.
The winner will play the Ringling-Minco winner next week.
Marietta at Tipton
Class C
7:30 p.m.
In Tillman County, you would be hard pressed to find a team that has dominated its schedule the way the Tipton Tigers have this season.
In the 10 games, the Tigers rolled up 513 points and allowed only eight points. The lone score Tipton gave up was to to a 1-8 Duke squad.
In talking about the defense, Tipton Head Coach Jim Kerbo said, "That's the key. A lot of our offense is because of our defense. They read their keys and we've tackled well. I'm so pleased the way they (the players) have bought into our system."
Offensively the ringleader is senior running back Josh Torres who is nearing the 1,000 yard rushing mark for the season. Torres' stats would be even better but his number of carries have been limited due to the lopsided scoring of all of the Tigers games. Kerbo has lifted Torres to allow the younger players an opportunity to play.
It has been a balanced attack as three others have rushed for 500 to 700 yards on the year.
Buffalo comes into the game with a 7-3 season record. They have scored 265 points while yielding 320 points on the season.
"They are a big, physical team and they have some skilled players," Kerbo said. "They have a good quarterback and two backs that can run."
Tipton, the number one ranked team in Class C, is the favorite by many to walk away with the gold ball. Kerbo was asked if that bothers him.
"It does a little bit. It gives other teams extra incentive. It is what it is, we can't change it. We just need to play one game at a time and play hard every time."
If Tipton wins it would put them into the second round of the playoffs against Wesleyan Christian-Southwest Covenant first round winner. The Tigers would also host that game.
Marietta at Frederick
Class 2A, first round
7:30 p.m.
But just down the road a Frederick Bomber team has also been a force.
The unbeaten Bombers averaged 64.3 points a game and allowed an average of 10.6 points.
Marietta comes into the game with a 4-6 season mark.
Playoff notes: Hollis native and former Hollis Coach Milton Cooper is having big success at Madill.
Cooper, in his second year at Madill, directed the Wildcats to a 10-0 season.
They will play Oklahoma City Star Spencer in the first round.

Great article, but I just wanted to point out that knitting and crochet, while both done with yarn, are different crafts. Knitters do not create crocheted objects and vice versa (well, some of them do, but you know what I mean). Of your pictures, the Cthulhu penguin, the eyeballs, the gollum hat, and Bender are definitely crochet. The rest are either knitted or a combination of the two.

nice list! here's one of my favourites from the world of weird knitting:
check the animations there too - more knitz. - Rhoadan said...
Actually, the Cthulhu penguin is knitted. The pink Cthulhu above it is crocheted.

Of all the photos, 13 of them depict crochet, not knit. And the funny thing is, the ski masks are dissed as crochet but are knit!
I'm a big fan of strange crochet. - Simone said...
that is really great - I aint letting my knitting near my coffee! - said...
I have got to get back to that Dalek I was trying to knit. I think the bottom part looked better than the one shown here; I just have to figure out a better top dome for it. I came up with a great way of doing the neck grill, too....
To non-needleworkers, a good rule of thumb is to look for material that looks like its made up of a bunch of tightly-packed Vs. That's stockinette stitch, your basic knit stitch. (Knit when working on the right side, purl when working on the wrong side.) There are other stitches, like garter stitch, which looks like rows of little interlocking arches -- or like cheap fake chainmail, which is often garter stitch, spray-painted silver. (Convincing only at a great distance. Most of the knights in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" wore garter stitch fake-mail, because it's cheap.) But most knitting revolves around stockinette stitch, like the stuff shown above, so for these examples, that test will give you a good idea of which ones are knit and which ones are crocheted.
Man, I *love* that squid at the top of the page. Absolutely gorgeous. The nudibranch is stunning as well.
It's too bad the gal with the Dr Who patterns was forced by the BBC to take them offline. She had this awesome Ood that would've looked great next to the Chthulu knits. - said...
You missed these: http://killerbanshee.com/robotsandmonsters/index.html

Someone stated that knit and crochet are two seperate crafts with little crossover - this is incorrect. In some countries (Japan as an example) making fabric from yarn, with two sticks or one, is generally considered the same craft. Many many projects require both techniques. Even in the US, you would be hard pressed to find a knitter without a crochet hook in his/her bag. All experienced knitters know how to crochet, even if they limit it to edgings and cast ons. A person could limit themselves to just one half of the craft, but why cut off one hand? And just to be a little snarky - those commenters who think ALL was crochet, learn to read stitches before you open your gob. <3sox

Medicine is not merely a science but an art. The character of the physician may act more powerfully upon the patient than the drugs employed.

Understanding the busy schedule of the professional, the following pages are quick guides for professionals to acquaint them with the basic knowledge of Lynch syndrome and how to diagnose and manage the disorder.
More detailed information to supplement these pages can be found by clicking on the LSI Library link on the Main Menu, to the left of this page, whereupon selected studies are available as well as clinical trials, registries, patient payment assistance programs, anti-discrimination laws and other resources relative to Lynch syndrome.

The Basics of Identification, Diagnosis and Management of Lynch Syndrome
Identification, Diagnosis and Management - Excellent Immediate Resource Guide for Physicians: Lynch Syndrome by Wendy Kohlman, MS and Stephen B. Gruber, MD, PhD, revised 9/20/2012
Is Breast Cancer A Part of the Lynch Syndrome?
Breast cancer has been identified as an integral component of LS based upon mismatch repair germline mutation factors in breast cancer tissues from family members who are not only at high risk, but, moreover, who had Lynch syndrome cancers, such as involving the colorectum. Breast cancer is exceedingly common in the population and, therein, its occurence in Lynch syndrome families could be due to chance, but importantly, a subset will likely be integrally related to a germline mismatch repair Lynch syndrome mutation in some LS families. Therefore, it would be prudent to mount a screening and management program for Lynch syndrome in those families where breast cancer is believed to be an integral lesion.
What Are Cost Effective Methods for Tumor Testing?
A detailed cost-effectiveness analysis* of screening for LS was completed after the EGAPP™ recommendation was published. The four testing approaches evaluated were found to be cost effective in the following order, from most to least cost effective:
What Is The Cost Effectiveness Of Genetic Testing?
*The Cost-Effectiveness of Genetic Testing Strategies for Lynch Syndrome Among Newly Diagnosed Patients with Colorectal Cancer, published online on January 15, 2010 in Genetics in Medicine. Authors: Mvundura M, Grosse SD, Hampel H, Palomaki GE.
Widespread Genetic Testing Appears Cost Effective published online on 1/4/2011 in Cancer Prev Res (Phila) Authors: Dinh, TA, Rosner, BL, Atwood, JC, Boland, CR, Syngal S, Vasan, HF, Gruber, SB, Burt, RW
Expert Discussion of top expert panel of the Cost Effectiveness of Genetic Testing for Lynch syndrome. The study provides a medically and cost effective method to readily identify and determine precisely who benefits from genetic testing for Lynch syndrome. A "must listen" panel discussion for all medical professionals.
New NCCN guidelines recommend "MMR protein testing should strongly be considered for ALL colon cancer patients <70 years of age based upon an increased likelihood of Lynch syndrome in this population. (NCCN Guidelines for IHC-MSI testing) Some centers, however, now perform IHC (and sometimes MSI) testing on all colorectal tumors to determine which patients should have genetic testing for Lynch syndrome. The cost effectiveness of this so-called " reflex testing" approach has been confirmed for colorectal cancer and this approch was endorsed by the Evaluation of Genomic Applications in Prevention and Practice. (EGAPP) working group at the Centers For Disease Control (CDC)."

For those of us who have been diagnosed with cancer, time is a precious commodity. The time and distance from the scientist's lab bench to the patient's bedside must be shortened. ~ Larry Lucchino
Characteristics of Lynch Syndrome:
Autosomal dominant inheritance pattern
Earlier average age of onset of colorectal cancer than in the general population (45 years in Lynch syndrome v. 63 years in the general population)
Accelerated carcinogenesis (tiny adenomas can develop carcinoma within 2-3 years in Lynch syndrome v. 8-10 years in the general population)
Increased risk of malignant disease at certain extracolonic sites
Ovary (9%-12% lifetime risk for female mutation carriers)
Small Bowel ( Lifetime risk is 1% to 4%.)
Pancreas ( Lifetime risk is 4%)
Prostate (European Studies)
Sebaceous adenomas, sebaceous carcinomas and multiple keratoacanthomas in Muir-Torre syndrome (variant of Lynch syndrome)
Increased survival from colorectal cancer
Germline mutation in a mismatch repair gene (most commonly MLH1, MSH2 or MSH6) that segregates in the patient's family (i.e., members who carry the mutation show a high rate of syndrome-related cancers than those who do not carry the mutation.)
In the MSH-6 mutation, most individuals have colorectal cancers located on the left side of the colon; including the descending colon, the sigmoid colon and the rectum, different from many of those with Lynch syndrome in which the cancers are proximal. There are more cases of endometrial cancer within those with an MSH-6 mutation.

† MSI-H = high microsatellite instability in tumors refers to changes in two or more of the five NCI-recommended panels of microsatellite markers. MSI-L = low microsatellite instability in tumors refers to changes in only one of the five NCI-recommended panels of microsatellite markers.
Breast cancer has been identified as an integral component of LS based upon mismatch repair germline mutation factors in breast cancer tissues from family members who are not only at high risk, but, moreover, who had Lynch syndrome cancers, such as involving the colorectum. Breast cancer is exceedingly common in the population and, therein, its occurence in Lynch syndrome families could be due to chance, but importantly, a subset will likely be integrally related to a germline mismatch repair Lynch syndrome mutation is some LS families. Therefore, it would be prudent to mount a screening and management program for Lynch syndrome in those families where breast cancer is believed to be an integral lesion.

Approximately ten percent (10%) of all cancers are hereditary. It is estimated many more are familial and 35% of all colorectal cancer is hereditary and familial. These patients need to be identified and receive more extensive cancer screenings. FIT testing is not effective for them. We have most likely only touched the tip of the iceberg in respect to hereditary and familial cancers.
The field of genetics is pioneering and modern medical technology changes daily. What we do know, today, is with early detection and a good screening management program, coupled with prophylactic treatment, many affected by genetic defects, resulting in a high predisposition to cancer, can be saved as a number of the cancers are preventable and treatable before becoming life threatening.
Li Fraumeini Syndrome - Breast cancer before the age of 50, soft tissue sarcoma, osteosarcoma, brain tumors, lung cancer, adrenal gland cancer, leukemia and other cancers. Genetic defect in the TP-53 gene
Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome - HBOC High lifetime risk of breast cancer and of ovarian cancers. Prostate cancer in men.
Cowden Syndrome - Also known as PTEN, Creates a 10% risk to thyroid and a higher than average risk to breast and uterine cancers. It hasn't been extensively studied...
Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP) or Gardner's Syndrome is a colon cancer predisposition syndrome in which hundreds to thousands of precancerous colon polyps (called adenomas) develop throughout the gastrointestinal tract (mostly in the colon and rectum but also in the stomach and small intestine). Attenuated FAP (AFAP) is a milder form of FAP and is associated with increased risk for colon cancer but fewer number of colon polyps. Gardner's Syndrome is associated with the typical number of polyps as in FAP, but also osteomas (benign tumors of the bone) and soft tissue tumors (called desmoids). A second variant, called Turcot Syndrome, is associated with certain brain tumors (different than in HNPCC-Lynch Syndrome). All forms of FAP are associated with mutations in the APC gene.
Von Hippel-Lindau Von Hippel-Lindau Disease (VHL) is a multisystem disorder characterized by abnormal growth of blood vessels (called hemangioblastomas or angiomas). Hemagioblastomas may develop in the retina, certain areas of the brain, the spinal cord and other parts of the nervous system. Other types of tumors can develop in the adrenal gland, kidney and pancreas. Individuals with VHL also have a higher risk to develop certain types of cancer, especially kidney cancer. Nearly all individuals with VHL are found to have mutations in the VHL gene.
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasias Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes received their name because they predispose people to develop tumors of the endocrine glands. The endocrine system is comprised of glands that secrete hormones into the bloodstream that control numerous processes within the body. The endocrine system is instrumental in regulating mood, growth and development and metabolism, as well as sexual function and reproductive processes.
The major glands of the endocrine system affected by the MEN syndromes are the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals and pancreas. Currently, there are two distinct MEN syndromes: MEN1 and MEN2. In some ways, the two syndromes are similar, but there are important differences.

Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC)-related tumors include colorectal, endometrial, stomach, ovarian, pancreas, bladder, ureter and renal pelvis, biliary tract, brain (usually glioblastoma as seen in Turcot Syndrome), prostate, sebaceous gland adenomas and keratoacanthomas in Muir-Torre syndrome, and carcinoma of the small bowel.

The Week in Pictures: Hacked humans and modded cars
From comics without pictures to bioengineered veins, it was again a week during which we saw some very futuristic technologies come to life.

The first-ever bioengineered vein was recently implanted into the arm of a 62-year-old Virginia man with kidney disease. Cultivated from donated human cells on tubular framing to form a vessel-like shape, the replacement part performed better in preclinical … Read more

Is it possible to get a bouzouki or a mandolin sound model into a Tyler Variax?
Like (0)
Hi, I'm asked for sounding as a bouzouki and a mandolin for the gigs with the variax as some years ago I could make this with the Line 6 Variax 700 acoustic guitar. Nowadays I haven't got that guitar and before buying the Tyler I would like to know if its possible to expand the sounds palette with new instruments as for example a bouzouki. Thanks in advance
Do you mean is it possible for you, or is it possible for Line 6?
No, as it stands right now, it is not possible to get these sounds on a James Tyler Variax (though I imagine a 12 string model with the tuning set really high would come close to a mandolin). There is no way to get any sounds onto the guitar besides what is already there except when Line 6 offers a firmware upgrade - unless you count fiddling with pickups and whatnot via Variax workbench.
For Line 6? I dunno, drop them a line and let them know you're interested in that having those sounds in a future firmware.
Thanks for your answer scheater5, I was in doubt about getting a Tyler Variax for the job but now I have to find a second hand Line 6 700 acoustic for the gigs. Happy New Year!!
I put this question 6 month ago to Line6 people.
Unfortunately they have this policy not revealing in beforehand about new features.
But Ethnic stuff should be known to them - and is an excellent addon if to be implemented.
I am waiting for more ethnic stuff and a midi guitar solution before I get a JTV.
i did a mandolin tuning for boat on the river i'll load up to youtube next week

The basic overview would be that you're a soldier in a freshly founded regiment of the planet Veracia. The Veracian 1st Heavy Infantry sports tough armor with its standard infantry weapons using laser tech with some heavy weapons use plasma. Then, of course, there's good old flame throwers. Being a wealthy planet in commerce and technology, you have plenty of fancy gadgets such as personal communicators built into your helmet and an independent(albeit limited) oxygen supply for emergencies.
Veracia, and many planets like it, serve the The Alareian Coalition in her defense. You'll be shipped all across the galaxy, fighting the enemy wherever you find them. The biggest problem for the Coalition is The Eskovian Federation, a less advanced but more numerous faction with a knack for war while the Coalition does it as a must. Aside from them there are pirates, slavers, and other unwelcomed filth plauging the galaxy.
You'll control your own character, but I'll be the one controlling the overall RP. Godmodding is discouraged, and remember that for all your gear you all start fresh out of boot minus a handful of ex-PDF who were recruited as officers.
So, any thoughts/suggestions/questions?
