You'd probably resist buying vinyl albums if you needed a different record player for each one.

That's pretty much the situation with digital music files, especially compressed files like MP3s. It's a rare music collection that doesn't have a few songs in weird or orphaned formats.

Growth Hormone Deficiency in ChildrenMedical Author:

Growth Hormone Deficiency in Children OverviewGrowth hormone deficiency is a disorder that involves the pituitary gland (a small gland located at the base of the brain), which produces growth hormone and other hormones. When the pituitary gland does not produce enough growth hormone, growth will be slower than normal. Growth hormone is necessary for normal growth and development in children. Growth hormone deficiency can occur at any age. The child's growth pattern is an important part of determining normal growth. Normally, a child grows about 2 inches per year. A child with growth hormone deficiency usually has a growth pattern of less than 2 inches per year. In many cases, the child grows normally until he or she is about 2 or 3 years old; then, signs of growth delay begin to show. In other cases, the child may experience growth delay earlier or later than this age. Although much smaller, a child with growth hormone deficiency has normal body proportions (the relationship of one body part to another) and tends to look younger than other children of the same age. Growth Hormone Deficiency Causes in ChildrenGrowth hormone deficiency may be congenital (a condition that is present at birth). The cause of congenital growth hormone deficiency may be associated with an abnormal pituitary gland, or it may be a part of another syndrome. Growth hormone deficiency may also be acquired (a condition that develops after birth). Acquired causes include trauma, infections, radiation to the head, and other diseases (for example, brain tumors). Apparent growth hormone deficiency may occur when the body is unable to respond to growth hormone, known as growth hormone resistance. In this case, there are high levels of growth hormone being made by the pituitary gland and circulating in the blood, which are ineffective. This condition tends to run in families, but it may occur in an individual with no family history. In some cases, no cause can be found.

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
West Florida
West Florida. Region in which Janie Crawford spends the early years of her life. The initial part of the novel is set in her maternal grandmother's house and charts Janie's coming into womanhood. Janie has been raised by her maternal grandmother Nanny who fled slavery with her infant daughter and later migrated to West Florida with her employers, the Washburn family. With the Washburns' assistance, Nanny purchases her own home so that she can properly raise and protect Janie from derision following the tragic rape and subsequent disappearance of her mother Leafy. On a particular spring afternoon, Janie experiences her budding sexuality beneath a blooming pear tree as a bee enters the inner sanctum of a pear blossom in the act of pollination.
When Nanny spies Janie kissing the shiftless Johnny Taylor, she immediately arranges for young Janie to marry Logan Killicks, a much older man who owns a house and some property, so that Janie will be protected from men whom Nanny fears will take advantage of her granddaughter. While Janie objects to this marriage, she nevertheless tries to make the best of it for awhile, until it becomes quite clear that she will never be able to live for herself in these circumstances. Thus West Florida becomes associated with her grandmother's dream and Logan Killicks's dream but not her own dream. When Janie meets Joe Starks, a traveler from Georgia, she walks out of her marriage with...

Form and Content (Masterplots II: Juvenile & Young Adult Literature Series, Supplement)
By introducing each chapter of Their Eyes Were Watching God with a thematic image, Zora Neale Hurston artistically changes the focus of the novel from an emphasis on Janie Crawford's linear chronology of her life to her internal development. For example, the "far horizon" to which ships sail and from which they return identified in the first line of chapter 1 becomes the protagonist's standard in evaluating the imaginative vision of each of her three husbands. By the concluding chapter, Janie reveals that she herself has traveled to and returned from the "far horizon," thus expressing her personal voyage of internal discovery.
Their Eyes Were Watching God begins as weary black workers sit on their porches and witness the return of Janie to her hometown of Eatonville, Florida. Expressing the superficial standards of society, these people believe that the widow of their deceased mayor, in returning alone and wearing overalls, has been financially exploited and abandoned by the young man with whom she had departed. When Janie's best friend, Pheoby Watson, questions the circumstances of her return, Janie responds that Pheoby can only understand if she knows the whole of Janie's life. It is within this framework that Janie proceeds to tell her story.
Janie's grandmother, a former slave, is determined to leave her granddaughter with a protector, in the hope that Janie can avoid the black woman's experience of...

Form and Content (Masterplots II: Women's Literature Series)
Zora Neale Hurston wrote most of Their Eyes Were Watching God in 1937 during a seven-week period she spent in Haiti. Hurston, the recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship, spent her days gathering anthropological data about life in Haiti, but she spent her evenings working on what was to become her greatest novel. The impetus for such an outpouring of words was a love affair with Albert Price III, a young graduate student of West Indian descent whom she had left in New York. Hurston undoubtedly realized that her relationship with Price was doomed, and thus she invested much of her own emotional life in the creation of her protagonist, Janie Crawford Killicks Starks Woods. The reader witnesses the internal maturation of Janie as she embarks on a journey for self-knowledge.
Janie tells the story of her life to Pheoby, her best friend, a woman who sympathizes with her and who is eager to hear Janie's story. Although Janie's brief narration is introduced by and then taken over by a third-person, or "public," narrator, the narrative voices that speak throughout the text always move toward convergence with Janie's voice. Janie's conscious life begins in her grandmother's backyard, where she first experiences sexual ecstasy. When Nanny sees Janie kissing Johnny Taylor, she insists that Janie marry Logan Killicks. Nanny tells Janie that the white man gives his workload to the black man, and the black man gives his workload to the black woman; therefore, the "nigger" woman is the mule of the...

Context (Masterplots II: Women's Literature Series)
Their Eyes Were Watching God is a groundbreaking narrative. Hurston's protagonist, Janie Woods, is a new kind of African American woman. Hurston revised the images of women presented in earlier African American narratives in which African American women were modeled upon white protagonists or were dedicated to the notion of "uplifting" the entire race. Through Janie, Hurston calls attention to the silencing of women and to their exclusion as storytellers within the African American community. She also demonstrates how the men of Eatonville, the "porch talkers," set the boundaries of discourse for the entire community. The language of the men, unlike the language used by Janie, is a game, a competition; it reveals no internal development. Although Hurston is somewhat ambivalent toward Janie and allows her husband, Teacake, to beat her, she nevertheless depicts her as a questing hero, as a woman who moves from object to subject. Their Eyes Were Watching God is a feminist novel, and it may be considered the first such novel in the African American tradition.
Hurston's life and work provided a model for later African American writers. Alice Walker has stated that Their Eyes Were Watching God had a profound effect upon her writing and that if she were marooned on a desert island with only ten books, Hurston's masterpiece would be among those she would choose to take with her. Literary critics believe that one of Walker's protagonists, Shug, of The Color Purple, is a re-creation of Hurston herself. Hurston has become a literary "foremother" not only for Walker but also for other African American women writers, including Gayl Jones, Gloria Naylor, Toni Cade Bambara, and Toni Morrison. Although Hurston failed to define new parameters for discourse between men and women, she gave her protagonist a voice that allowed her to speak for herself. Their Eyes Were Watching God offers a point of departure for a new generation of African American women writers who are attempting to bridge the communicative chasm that exists between men and women.

The Frugal Traveler" Budget travel skills needed for certain luxury getaways
Credit: MCT |
During an anniversary getaway with my husband to a rural town in South America, we planned a day trip to explore the Amazon headwaters. As we arrived at our destination, I voted for splurging on a more luxurious accommodation venue with charming thatched roofs, a great river view, refreshing pool and an on-site bar with a relaxing fire pit area. After all I reasoned, what was the point of having a little financial security if we couldn't enjoy it by skipping the $10 hostel beds and warm roadside beer so frequently experienced during the trips of our youth? I happily slapped my cash on the counter, assuming this upgrade meant a more posh vacation experience across the board.
My excitement came to a halt a short while later, when an errand to reserve adventure gear for the next day's outing resulted in a scene right out of a scary movie. When trying on the rubber boots recommended for rainforest exploration, my foot disturbed a hefty-sized colony of cockroaches. As I watched in horror, they began making their way up my ankle and under my pant leg. Let's just say the staff at the tour company saw much more of me than they bargained for before the situation came to a close.
My lesson? Having more money to spend doesn't necessarily shield you from the rustic realities of certain adventure getaways. It pays to keep your backpacking skills sharp, especially if traveling to remote rural areas is your real passion.
Following are some abilities you really don't want to let slide.
Flexibility: If traveling to the end of the Earth to see a set of remote ruins appeals to your sense of adventure, keep in mind that the luxury in that type of vacation may be limited to being able to travel there at all. No amount of vacation money can secure a fancy hotel room where one doesn't exist. Similarly, if the river you want to navigate is only deep enough for a dugout canoe then you can kiss your dream of a comfy overnight cruise goodbye. Plan on a bit of discomfort for these types of trips, and know that your accommodation options may indeed be limited.
Communication: Traveling off the beaten path means chances are you won't have a concierge to coordinate daily communications. Phrase books, sketch pads and even a calculator to communicate purchase prices are helpful items to carry in your pack. Basic pantomime skills can also save the day when all else fails.
Minimalism: When the only transportation option to that distant temple on your itinerary is hopping on the back of a motorcycle or hiking on foot to a lodge at the half-way point, you may have to exercise a bit of fashion flexibility. Lugging extra bags won't be possible. Packing light, doing nightly laundry in the sink and choosing quick-to-dry clothing will be your only hope for accessing a clean outfit.

Hang tight!
Recipe by BBEARS1982
"This recipe is easy to make and modify. Sometimes I skip the streusel and it becomes a great pound cake!"
Watch video tips and tricks
3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter
2 1/2 cups white sugar
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
Excellent recipe! This one is a keeper! I threw some blueberries in the batter and it was perfect. Thank you!
This would probably be better as a pound cake, leaving out the streusel. I used almost twice as much brown sugar and cinnamon as it called for and still didn't get much of a streusel taste. It was good, just not a real streusel kind of cake.

Should My Young Daughter Get the HPV Vaccination?
In This Article: | |
As the parent of a teenage or preteen girl, you may well be aware of the controversy surrounding the relatively recent release of the vaccine Gardasil. Gardasil helps to protect girls against the strains of an STD known as the human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes 70% of cervical cancer and 90% of genital warts. The CDC reports that over 80% of women will contract HPV by the age of 50. Therefore, it has recommended vaccination with Gardasil for all girls aged 11 or 12; Gardasil is also recommended as a catch-up vaccination for all girls between ages 13 and 26. Furthermore, many states are considering making Gardasil vaccination for girls mandatory for school attendance. Find out what you need to know about Gardasil in order to make the decision about whether to have your daughter vaccinated.
Q: Would you get the HPV vaccination for your daughter?
38% | |
Yes. I think it's great, and every girl should be vaccinated. | |
16% | |
Yes, despite some reservations. | |
26% | |
No. I'd be worried about possible side effects. | |
9% | |
No. I have moral objections to it. | |
12% | |
No, but for reasons other than those stated above. | |
697 Total votes cast. |
In 2006 the FDA approved the release of Gardasil to the public. In tests, nearly 100% of participants vaccinated with Gardasil remained free of the types of HPV covered by the vaccine. This is an astounding statistic, and you may well be asking yourself, "Why then has there been so much debate about Gardasil?"

ANNAPOLIS, Md.—
For several years, Gov. Martin O'Malley has been talking about raising transportation funds for Maryland with a possible sales tax increase on gasoline.Last year, he floated an idea of a 6 percent sales tax increase on gas, but did not find a lot of backers.
In his State of the State address Wednesday, O'Malley made another reference to the state's transportation needs.
"There is no reason why we should be content with having the worst traffic congestion in the country. Building a 21st-century transportation network won't happen by itself," O'Malley said.
One idea being floated by Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, D-Calvert/Prince George's, in this session of the Maryland General Assembly is giving county governments the option to raise 5 cents per gallon on gas to fund local transportation projects. According to the Associated Press, he also has suggested a separate 3 percent sales tax increase on gasoline statewide that could bring in $300 million.
The gas tax rate last was increased in 1992, when it went from 18.5 cents to 23.5 cents per gallon.
But such ideas remain unpalatable to many legislators in the Washington County delegation because they feel that any increase in the gas tax unfairly punishes rural areas of the state because residents in those areas are much more dependent on their cars.
Sen. Ronald N. Young, D-Frederick/Washington, has filed a bill that would enable counties or municipalities to charge 2 cents per gallon on gas sales to fund local and transit projects.
Sen. George C. Edwards, R-Garrett/Allegany/Washington, has reintroduced two bills from the 2012 regular session.
One proposes to add a 2.1 percent tax to the wholesale price of gas in areas served by mass transit such as Baltimore, Montgomery and Prince George's counties. Another would add half a percent to sales tax in those counties to pay for mass transit systems.
"My idea is a regional tax controlled by the state," Edwards said.
The money collected from these taxes would go to a separate mass transportation account in the state's Transportation Trust Fund. The bills also seek to cap the amount that mass transit gets from the trust fund at 2012 levels.
"I think it is the fairest approach instead of putting all the burden on vehicle owners," Edwards said.
Part of the purpose of his bills was to bring more ideas to the table, he said.
The Transportation Trust Fund was created in 1971 to support the Maryland Department of Transportation, and revenue sources include gas taxes, vehicle excise taxes and motor vehicle taxes.
But many in the Washington County delegation remain opposed to any gas tax increase.
"We don't support this. I don't support this. The people that live in the rural areas don't support it ... we drive further to go to work," said Del. Andrew A. Serafini, R-Washington.
He said that Miller's plan might pass in the Senate, but would be a tough sell in the House of Delegates.
Serafini said he was open to looking at the idea of a regional tax, but did not support a statewide 3 percent increase in the gas tax.

Air Jordan XI Retro "Space Jam" #45 Sample
January 17th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 26 comments
If the Air Jordan XI rotation continues in the current direction, it shouldn't be too long before we see the Air Jordan XI 'Space Jam' retro come back around. Would they be able to generate the same frenzied response if that did happen? We'd imagine so. And if they really wanted to go the extra mile, Jordan Brand could go ahead and slap the '45′ hit on the back end a la this 2000 era sample. Along with that little detail, the sneakers also feature the alternate 'Jordan Jam' text across the lace placket. Continue reading to check out this Air Jordan XI 'Space Jam' sample then take a look at the price on them from lilshk54321 on eBay.
Filed under: Air Jordans, eBay, Sample // Tags: Air Jordan XI, Air Jordan XI Space Jam
So... buy some worn out 11s for 3500? This isn't the sneaker game... This is a Joke.
rip off! these are worn! not worth 3,500 staks! he worn down the left & right side back sole. he got his wears out of it and now trying to flip these! NOT worth it, i can see these selling for 4-500. but not @ 3,500. nope!
Is it just me or does it look better aged? The quality shows with its age. The shape and materials just look right. Wonder if these will actually be retroed this year. Kinda soon dont u think?
Somebody help a young head out... Why is the number 45 on there? Why is it important?
That aged look make these muh f***as look raw ......like a bad ass (fine) 30+ year old woman ..haha ..
Rumored for this year as a qs, along with a possibility of quite a few other new 11 Cws. Should be interesting to find out more.
@Mr.CinderSix's just like JManSam said. then a year after the 1995-1996 season, MJ wore the #23 jersey again.
@Mr.CinderSix's when mj got back in the league after playing baseball, his old number 23 was retired, and he used 45 on the white sox so he used that number
@Mr.CinderSix'sjordan wore 45 for a bit when he came back from retirement rocking the 10s. if u look up jordan wearing 45 you'll get a nice amount of background info. Nothing with 45 has been released to the public.
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite @GoCrazyFolks I heard space jams and blackouts. But then again you never know. They are looking unpredictable with these releases.
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite how sure are u that the Columbias are releasing this year? Because JB been releasing 11's at the end of the year?
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite Yea your right. Only thing I don't like about the Columbias is the light blue jump man
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite @asdfjkln64 @GoCrazyFolks Theyre releasing a new colorway altogether.
@asdfjkln64 @GoCrazyFolks I heard blackouts too but da Columbias are da o my original cw dat hasn't dropped in a while. So since da space jams, cool greys, concords &breds have release, it only makes sense to drop da columbias
@SkilledHooper82 well if u go off of history, theirs only been 5 cw of da 11s... Concords, Breds, Cool Grey which 1st came out I think 01, & Space Jams... in da last 4 Red'd we have seen every original cw 11s except da Columbias. So only makes sense to think those are comin. And if u remember last yr round dis time, da Columbias were da 11s that were suppose to release not da breds. Then their were conversation dat both would drop, rumors of a pack wit both... so goin off of da line up, makes sense fa da Columbias to b up next...
@GoCrazyFolks actually da Columbias are my favorite 11s. Da Columbia blue shade really compliments da white I think. My old Columbia's da patent leather has turned yellow a bit but da mesh & laces are still icy white. Da blu shade brings all that together fa me.. space jams close 2nd

My husband and I thought these were very good. We used instant garlic mashed potatoes and melted cheddar in with them. I then thinly sliced an onion and sauted in butter poured over the top and baked as directed...my only complaint is the shells were dry...is there any way to reheat these without them drying out?

I have mad ethis many times, but I use fried up onions and garlic and add them to the potato mix. Stuff them set aside, Brown up another onion, and gently stir them with the stuffed shells. I cover and bake for 20 minutes.
