people say "work hard u'll succeed" or "work hard play hard" but lately an acquaintance they i interact with has work hard at 16, able to do residency for med students yes i said 16 and now he's back at community college deciding to concentrate (for example wanting to do surgury specializing in the heart) so this is b**t and also my friend staying at undergraduate one more year when she's already finished for her bf and ended up breaking up, and she's now really happy and productive in her life, so this work hard thing is just really not applied well

How I did it: I felt like it was really essential that I complete this goal because I have this bad habit of wanting to do another task while I'm starting on one task (I was trying applying the eating the bread to other aspects of life). I had this awful habit where I already opened the whole wheat bread bag and already started diving in eating the wheat bread but the next day, I would open up the potato bag and start eating the potato bread. Read how I did it…
How I did it: two words: NOT FUN! I had this on the day before my b-day and on my b-day..and I barely even got to do much hw...as I was distracted by my itch i to this day do not know how I got it...either peanut butter, and peanuts..even though I never developed an allergy or it was because those disgusting bbugs crawled into my back while I was doing yoga/meditation on the floor Read how I did it…
How I did it: in the summer, I was preoccupied with SAT and taking college classes and so those were the places that I could drive to with parent supervision:) I went to driver education classes to teach me the basis of driving (I learned 3 pt turn, reverse, park-in, and the dangers of drinking while driving) I begged my parents to drive, whom refused until summer, when they FINALLY let me drive Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
so my dad rly rly looks up to this person named "li peng" . In fact during my bday party, he invited li peng and his two friends and his gf to my party. my dad was flaunthing my house and other stuff to him. His gf said this remark of our chinese being "not good enough and my sis was angry (mostly offended though). I felt kinda offended. But truly if I look at it, Im just as a sinner as this woman the girlfriend, Im very judgemental, I let people down, I've digusted people, I've been hideous. I cringe at people and I do more than what is mentioned. Plus I don't mind being misunderstood. So I start feeling sympathy towards this li peng gf and I actually have empathy towards her. That witch turns into oh "poor woman" and reminder of a blessings start occuring and I can slowly seep away from the insecure, jealousy that I have to li peng's gf
I really start to question where I place my hope in? When I boy that I like is encouraging me to go particpate in activites I don't know I should go and I blindly follow you I don't place my hope (not really) at that point in Jesus and when I feel like I don't want my mom to tattletell my dad on what I did behind their backs and pleading my mom to not do that I really start to question who I really truly place my faith in, because at that moment, I place my hope in approval. The idol of approval when I already have my approval from God. So I encourage you to examine what is perplexing you today? What is taking not just 90% and 110% and thinking will fulfill you when it really doesn't. Because I know that will not fulfill your hope and on the outside you do look like you have together or you will have this entitlement thinking more specifically recognition and deserving of honor. We cannot be our own Gods, we just cannot. Therefore I challenge you with the question, where do you place your hope in?

Community Activity
Add a CommentThis book, unlike some other similar books, actually shows the vulnerable side of bullies. The main character is not really trying to defend his actions, so he comes off even better for that. When the bully in books defends himself, he generally looks guilty and/or inspires readers to act similarly. This was a refreshing change from such books.
I liked the natural feel of this characters point of view. It sounded very much like a real teen bully dealing with his demons. However this same aspect also made the story hard to follow at times. I enjoyed the story but at times I felt it difficult to understand what was going on.
This book has a very unique point of view, making the narrative follow more like a diary than a step-by-step description of what the main character is doing. By writing the narrative like it was taken from a notebook, it justifies why the protagonist is describing everything, and sets up a plot that essentially unfolds backwards, which doesn't feel awkward at all. Sometimes, though, there are events where it would be weird to write from this perspective, such as in second-person.

Catalysis of the transfer of a solute or solutes from one side of a membrane to the other according to the reaction: myo-inositol(out) + Na+(out) = myo-inositol(in) + Na+(in).
The chemical reactions and pathways involving inositol, 1,2,3,4,5,6-cyclohexanehexol, a growth factor for animals and microorganisms.
The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the peripheral nervous system over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The peripheral nervous system is one of the two major divisions of the nervous system. Nerves in the PNS connect the central nervous system (CNS) with sensory organs, other organs, muscles, blood vessels and glands.
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the process of gaseous exchange between an organism and its environment.
The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore.
Protein involved in the transport of ions. Such proteins are usually transmembrane and mediate a movement of ions across cell membranes. Transport may be passive (facilitated diffusion; down the electrochemical gradient), or active (against the electrochemical gradient). Active transport requires energy which may come from light, oxidation reactions, ATP hydrolysis, or cotransport of other ions or molecules.
Protein involved in the movement of sodium ions across energy- transducing cell membranes. Primary active sodium transport is coupled to an energy-yielding chemical reaction such as ATP hydrolysis. Secondary active transport utilizes the voltage and ion gradients produced by the primary transport to drive the cotransport of other ions or molecules. These may be transported in the same (symport) or opposite (antiport) direction.
Protein involved in the transport of solutes across a biological membrane in one direction, which depends on the transport of another solute in the same direction. One molecule can move up an electrochemical gradient because the movement of the other molecule is more favorable. Example: the sodium/glucose co-transport.
Protein involved in the transport of a molecule (metabolite, protein, etc), a ion or an electron across cell membranes, inside the cell or in a tissue fluid.
A reference proteome is a set of protein sequences derived from a complete proteome which constitutes a defined standard for a particular user community. Reference proteomes are manually defined according to a number of criteria. They cover the proteomes of well- studied model organisms and other proteomes of interest for biomedical and biotechnological research. Reference proteomes have been selected to provide broad coverage of the tree of life, and constitute a representative cross-section of the taxonomic diversity to be found within UniProtKB.

Stephen Hawking, a noted astronomer, contemplates why we haven't received messages from other planets. He suggests many possibilities. One of them is that the timing of evolution may be off. Intelligent life may go extinct before it evolves fast enough to prevent it. He also suggests that intelligent life may evolve but not in enough numbers to gain the upper hand from the unevolved majority, who aren't smart enough to prevent their own extinction.
Hawking suggests this may be happening here.
For example, Senators Chuck Grassley, James Inhofe, Jay Rockefeller and others say they are willing to support legislation to prevent climate change (which can lead to human extinction) as long as it doesn't raise anyone's electric bill, taxes or cut into anyone's profits, especially oil, coal or agriculture.
Hawking says we need to start looking for another planet to live on.
Geologists say there have been five major mass extinctions and four were preceded by climate change. They add that we are in the sixth. The main difference now is that humans are triggering this one.
For example, it is not difficult to understand that polluting the air causes carbon dioxide to accumulate and heat up the atmosphere. Soot causes acid rain that falls on the ocean. Acid kills the plankton that produce 50 percent of the oxygen we breathe.
The sixth mass extinction is not imminent but evolving fast enough and in large enough numbers to prevent it is.

Humans are going to have to get past the coming solar storms first. This why I moved to the country and building a house capable of being 100% off the grid. Good luck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_TzIUlaQok
Jesus P51, this is more like it from you. Yes, solar flares occur REGULARLY. All of the time. Of course there's a tiny percent chance that one will eventually be big enough to cause major damage.
You really are just a frail-minded, scared person, aren't you?
What will you do if the solar storms knock out your internet and you can't be the first person to respond to every letter?
Poor babies had to report to administrators. Pathetic.
Surely wasn't me. Although your response wasn't very nice. I'm simply trying to point out the fact that you're made erratic and paranoid with such ease.
I'm sure you bought right into the Obama=Antichrist smear campaign as well, didn't you, P51?
"Yes, solar flares occur REGULARLY."
Nope, they go in cycles.
PT, they occur regularly, AND in cycles.
The frequency of occurrence of solar flares varies, from several per day when the Sun is particularly "active" to less than one each week when the Sun is "quiet". Large flares are less frequent than smaller ones. Solar activity varies with an 11-year cycle (the solar cycle). At the peak of the cycle there are typically more sunspots on the Sun, and hence more solar flares.
On second thought, I think I see your confusion. I only meant "regularly" as a synonym of "frequently" — not as in, "on a regular schedule".
As far as "coming solar storms", well yes a damaging solar storm (like the one in 1859) could occur in 2012, or this year, or 2020, or 2060, or pick a year. With the exception of the increased likelyhood of it happening during a solar activity peak (not 2012) there's no way to predict it. If there is provide the scientific source ( not late night talk radio ). By the way, we've been in a period of near zero sun spot activity for several years now — normally associated with a cooling trend.
Cristmass38: I didn't know NASA had "late night talk" radio. I'll look for it. Zero solar storms? That's really smart.
http://www.solar-storm-warning.com/ http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-n…
The first link is not to a NASA site but rather a sensationalist site that also claims something about a nonsensical "interstellar energy cloud". The 2nd link is to a March 10 '06 (over 4 years old) NASA article which talks mainly about estimates of the strength and timing of the next solar maximum. One of the years mentioned for a solar maximum was 2010. So far it hasn't happened.
Two of a hundred links regarding subject. Less than two weeks ago we had a minor solar storm in your "net zero" but non of the above should matter to you since you will go out of your way to discredit anything I or anybody esle will post who is not an ultra left wing lib.

The World Wonders?
"For example, it is not difficult to understand that polluting the air causes carbon dioxide to accumulate and heat up the atmosphere. Soot causes acid rain that falls on the ocean. Acid kills the plankton that produce 50 percent of the oxygen we breathe."
Well Harold needs to write a letter to the Bejing Daily, because they're bringing coal fueled power plants online at a tremendous rate. Which is bad because unlike here in the US, I don't believe they don't have the same standards.
Also, we have zero control over weather.
" zero control over weather"
Dont be too sure of that…
Humans have about as much control over the weather by pollution as we might have over a rabid tiger we're prodding with a stick…
Not so fast PT…Don't forget about "George Bu_sh's Hurricane Machine"
And Kan_ye West confirmed it…
There is one serious flaw in Hensel's letter: our understanding of human effects on the planet's ecosystem is imperfect, and itself evolving. Having said that, do we have the political will to act on the knowledge we have to reduce greenhouse emissions?
Jeff Klinzman
Please define "greenhouse gases" and how we have the "knowledge" "to reduce greenhouse emissions"??

Human nature historically both individually, and collectively, is to create a "disaster" before real change occurs.
"Human nature historically both individually, and collectively, is to create a "disaster" before real change occurs."
Two ripostes, P51. First, remember CFCs and their effect on the ozone layer? Governments and businesses worldwide recognized the danger, and we now have safer refrigerants in use. Second, "human nature" is plastic and malleable, and does NOT doom us to perish by our mistakes.
Jeff Klinzman
he is appparently speaking for the "unevolved majority".
"Because thats the way it is, that's why"
"The World Wonders?"
Good grief, 596, don't you remember how that phrase enraged Bull Halsey during the battle off Samar!?
Seriously, how's this for a deal: I won't hold the patriot movement responsible for Tim McVeigh if you don't blame Lee on Gore. Unhinged people are just that, unhinged.
Jeff Klinzman
Too late the media and the Democrat Party run by the Clintons already TRIED to "hold the patriot movement responsible folr Tim McVeigh"
ljw61 gets what he has coming: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC3IGts3Dyk&fe…
Jeff Klinzman
Ha. Man, what a good flick.
But Tom Hanks still died in that movie…
Ah, but I was in the Mustang!
Jeff Klinzman
when reading the replies from the Lj's, Sig's steamers, etc it would do us all well to remember, these are the
" unevolved majority, who aren't smart enough to prevent their own extinction."
596 and I share an interest in WWII, which is why I tell him he's "barely tolerable." Riki has some entertainment value. ljw61 is quite simply a doofus.
Jeff Klinzman
I thought exactly the same thing, Ann.
By all means…Tell us how you will live forever?
I see that one of the most prominent skeptics of climate change in the world, Bjorn Lomborg, has just changed his mind and acknowledges the risk of climate change.
It looks like he says as much in the article you linked,
"Lomborg denies he has performed a volte face, pointing out that even in his first book he accepted the existence of man-made global warming. "The point I've always been making is it's not the end of the world," he told the Guardian. "That's why we should be measuring up to what everybody else says, which is we should be spending our money well.""
This isn't 100 % man-made. Why do you fools underwrite Al Gore's quackery?
And what about that fruitcake leftwing goon (huge Al Gore fan) who wanted to blow up Discovery channel???
Sounds like that guy was only marginally influenced by anyone but the voices inside his head.
Although, he does sort of have a point. We do a pretty good job of leeching resources from the plain on which we survive — which would make us parasites.
I forget which sci-fi series it was, but an alien once referred to humans as a "virus!" Not that I'm a misanthrope, but such a comment should give us pause to reflect.
Jeff Klinzman
Jeff, I wonder how long it is until we get called terrorist or hostage-takers by association. God forbid we actually entertain an argument that goes against the preachings of Fox.
Remember "Radar" O'Reilly from M*A*S*H:
"Wait for it…"
Jeff Klinzman
"Wait for it…"
I as sociate that with Barney Stinson on "How I Met Your Mother" these days. LOL
Speaking of referring to human as "viruses" did you hear much about the Discovery hostage situation yesterday? The suspect was killed but he was known for railing against the "parasitic human babies" this planet keeps producing. He saw newborn babies as polluting the planet.
Well, newborns do pollute their diapers! Seriously, I took umbrage at 596 trying to blame Gore for Lee's actions.
Some people are just nuts. Wonder if that applies to any users here?
Jeff Klinzman
"Some people are just nuts. Wonder if it applies to any users here?"
Ya think? lol
"The third approach to population limitation is that of involuntary fertility control. Several coercive proposals deserve discussion, mainly because some countries may ultimately have to resort to them unless current trends in birth rates are rapidly reversed by other means."

It is funy how all the "GLOBAL WARMING ALARMISTS" like this letter writer seem to always leave out the fact that all our plants, including those plants that produce our food, IE, corn, soybeans, tomatoes, lettuce, beans, cabbage, etc MUST have these "greenhouse gases" like "CARBON DIOXIDE" to grow, so by eliminating these NASTY 'GREENHOUSE GASES" aren't we going to "ELIMINATE" much of our food source???
ljw61, stop playing stupid. You darn well know the debate is about LIMITING greenhouse emissions, NOT "eliminating" them. BTW, if you do NOT know that the two principle greenhouse gases are CO2 and methane, then you do NOT have the knowledge base to responsibly participate in this discussion.
Jeff Klinzman
He's not trying to participate in the discussion even if he had the knowledge base. He's simply a troll making inflamitory statements to get attention/a response. A correction: Water vapor is the primary greenhouse gas — but one which we have no control over.
I don't think he is "playing" stupid.
Well… water is arguably the most important greenhouse gas and definitely plays a bigger role than CO2. And we'd really be in trouble if we got rid of that. CO2 has a very small direct effect. One way they model CO2 working is that an increase in CO2 causes a very small increase in temperature, but that small increase in temperature causes a little more water to evaporate. Since water is a greenhouse gas, this little increase in water vapor causes a little more warming, which causes a little more evaporation… warming… evaporation… tipping point! If you read some of the literature, they'll talk about CO2 "forcing" or a multiplier effect, and its this type of effect they're talking about.
There's just one problem with that scenario… More water vapor means more clouds. Clouds reflect sunlight, thus cause cooling. But without really understanding cloud formation and movement, we can't really say if the increase in water vapor will end up having a net negative or positive effect on temperature. So maybe that increase in CO2 won't end up doing much of anything after all.
This seems appropriate here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zORv8wwiadQ
Oh, if only people were actually sensible.
But, if we fight climate change, we might cut corporate profits. That would HORRIBLE!
I LOVED the line "makes Al Gore look like a sissy Polyanna with no guts!"
Plus, the guy knows how to use a whiteboard: the old-school teacher in me really misses chalkdust…
Jeff Klinzman
Sorry Ann, but that video represents very limited thinking, at best. Let's do a little thinking outside of his boxes he wants to use to constrain our thinking. So for his scenarios, let me rewrite the possible outcomes.
GCC False, Action Yes: The scientists who have been warning of disaster tell us cap and trade won't do anything -we need to bring energy use down to pre-industrial levels. Now! No more modern farming, so millions starve -we wouldn't have a means to distribute the food even if we could grow enough. 3rd world countries remain 3rd world countries, and 1st world countries join them in their poverty, early deaths due to disease, and starvation. Countries and populations are isolated. Aid for flood, hurricane, earthquake victims? You'll never hear of the need, which is just as well because without cheap, reliable energy, you can't do anything about it anyway. And we do all this for nothing.
GCC True, Action No: Storms! Floods! Droughts! With cheap, plentiful energy and modern societies and infrastructure, those pose little problem. With that energy we are able to channel and transport resources where they are needed. After all, what was once huge swaths of desert in the SW US grows an amazing abundance and variety of food. We're not going to suddenly lose that kind of capability.
GCC True, Action Yes: In the case it isn't manmade, we still have global warming and the "Action No" scenario -storms, floods, etc., but have hamstrung our ability to respond because we have not benefitted from and no longer have access to large quantities of cheap, reliable energy to adapt to the situation. That's the "End of Mankind" scenario I see.
In short, his fatal flaws are the as.s.umptions that if we act we can prevent climate change, that if GCC is true and we don't do something now we won't be able to handle the consequences of climate change, and that "action" has only economic costs.
"The main difference now is that humans are triggering this one."
No, the main difference is now there's a species arrogant enough to believe they can trigger one without even trying and that we "know" what the climate is supposed to be.
CO2 concentrations are at historic lows (if you look on a geological time scale). During the Juras.sic period, CO2 concentrations were 4-20 times higher than today (depending on which study you want to go by). Greenhouse gas.ses are not what killed off the dinosaurs.
I'd also note that though temperatures have been higher in the past, high temperatures have not been responsible for mass extinctions. Cold has. In fact, warmer temperatures have coincided with increased biomas.s and thriving human civilizations. On the other hand, drops in temperature have coincided with the fall of several civilizations.
We're lucky to be living during an interglacial period -but maybe its not luck. Maybe civilizations on the scale we see today are only possible during an interglacial period. Interglacial periods last 10-15 thousand years (though some argue they could be twice that on occasion). In between are glacials that last 100 thousand years. The current interglacial, the Halocene, has been here over 11,000 years. If you want to worry about when mass extinctions are going to occur, think about that.
Global warming argument is stupid. Nobody is going to convince me that dumping billions of pounds of pollutants into the atmosphere via cars and factories is good for the planet.
I agree there are all kinds of good reasons to minimize our impact on the environment that have nothing to do with global warming.
In his book, The One Percent Doctrine, Ron Suskind quotes then VP Cheney as saying that if there is a 1% probability that a country would attack us, a preeminent attack is called for.
Know one knows for certain what will happen in the future, but I think we can all agree that the probability of dire consequences due to climate change is much higher than 1%. It is the ultimate in irresponsibility to not be serious about this risk.
Here's the IAC's review of the IPCC, it's not flattering to the IPCC.
I read that article. I see that some questions are being raised about process. I see nothing that challenges, in any way, the "widespread scientific consensus that human activity is heating the planet. . ." Indeed that conclusion is reinforced by the contents of this article.
Once again, your predisposition has impaired your ability to read and think objectively.
You mean, no one, is to know one? How many would that be?

What's a 'bagger"?
A little positive here from ex Nasa employee as seen on 60 minutes. Actually technology like this has been around for decades but is now making it into mainstream. Free energy. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6228923n
Free energy ? Only if the natural gas ( or other fuel ) piped to your home is free (note the name — a FUEL cell). It may turn out to revolutionize energy production but wouldn't bet the farm on the Bloom Box quite yet.
Free Energy is a common term used by the pro greenys to make and use low cost to no cost alternate energy. Before the end of this year I will have the option to go "off" the grid with a flip of a switch and keep it that way for many months if I choose. I don't have to pay Aliant Energy. I make my own "clean burning" diesel @ $.125 a gallon. My truck with an extra 100 gallon tank has a range of 2600 plus miles without the need for a gas station.
You critmass38 depend upon the likes of BP for gas and Alient Energy for daily survival that you take for granted. I don't care if you loose your power for 3 months or longer in the dead of winter.
When the Guardian starts the article off with, "The world's most high-profile climate change sceptic…" they aren't doing anyone a favor. Its hard to believe the Guardian didn't do that deliberately given that in all the quotes of his they used, not one of them denied man-made global warming.

Location, quality of rooms,pleasant employees. There is no better hotel in Dublin from the point of view of location.
The only problem is the fact that the WiFi is not included in the price, but it was nevertheless very good value for the price.
Amazing truly 5 star rooms
Great property. Luxurious and well located.No free wifi in the room. McDonalds even offers free wifi. Your a 5 Star hotel, don't be cheap.
expensive parking 25 Euro per night. Charge of 15 Euro for internet in room. I feel that this is a rip off.
The hotel was pleasant and met my expectations of a 5 star hotel, however, the cost of parking was over the top.The location was perfect for visiting Dublin's must-see sights like Trinity College and Temple Bar!
Somehow the noise for the TV was piped into the bathroom and couldn't be heard if the door to the bathroom was closed!
This hotel showcased what Westin is all about: service. We had excellent advice on what to do, where to park when there was no availability at Westin's lot, etc. The rooms were very quiet, which was surprising given the considerable street noise of downtown Dublin. Lovely place; it's expensive, but we'd stay here again.Excellent all the way around! A wonderful experience!
The location to the Temple Bar area and Trinity College were the best!Amazing front desk staff! I already wrote a letter to the hotel commenting on them!
Love the location.
You have to ask for ice, no ice machines.
Great location. Newer hotel. Friendly staff.Great rooms, great staff and service, quiet rooms, right next to Trinity college
One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in and I travel a lot across the world. I highly recommend it for fellow business travelers wanting to unplug in Dublin for a few days...

CSAC Passes Amendment Allowing Therapeutic Exemptions for TRT and Marijuana
(Could I get JUST ONE of those exemptions, por favor?)
Some big news out of California today, as it appears that the California State Athletic Commission has taken a huge step towards legalizing the therapeutic use of testosterone and marijuana in mixed martial arts competition. SI.com was the first to break the news:
The California State Athletic Commission voted on Monday to approve an amendment that allows therapeutic use exemptions (TUE) for combat sports' athletes who use drugs currently banned by the state agency for medical purposes, including testosterone and marijuana.
To be adopted into state law, the amendment's verbiage must now be reviewed and approved by the Department of Consumer Affairs and then the state's Office of Administrative Law, a process that could take months or even years, if it passes at all.
OK, so it's not as big of news as one could have hoped, but it's something, right? Then again, depending on your stance on testosterone replacement therapy (or marijuana for that matter), this could be a step in the wrong direction for the sport of MMA.

Hi Cory,
This is a hard one, as it could really be anything. Our previous question was very similar to this, so I'll give you similar advice. Step-by-step elimination. You say it only happens when gaming - does it happen in every single game? Have you tried re-installing Windows? Defragging your hard drive?
I would try disconnecting all of your external devices - speakers, ethernet cable (or turn Wi-Fi off), external storage, etc. Go down to just bare monitor, keyboard and mouse cables being plugged in. From there, test out a game in single player and see if it crashes - if it doesn't - reconnect things one by one.
I would also suggest getting some temperature monitoring programs like MSI's Afterburner and Real Temp or Core Temp for your CPU.

Years of Citing Articles
We present a fast and accurate collision detection algorithm for haptic interaction with polygonal models. Given a model, we pre-compute a hybrid hierarchical representation, consisting of uniform grids (represented using a hash table) and trees of tight-fitting oriented bounding box trees (OBBTrees). At run time, we use hybrid hierarchical representations and exploit frame-to-frame coherence for fast proximity queries. We describe a new overlap test, which is specialized for intersection of a line segment with an oriented bounding box for haptic simulation and takes 42-72 operations including transformation costs. The algorithms have been implemented as part of H-COLLIDE and interfaced with a PHANToM arm and its haptic toolkit, GHOST, and applied to a number of models. As compared to the commercial implementation, we are able to achieve up to 20 times speedup in our experiments and sustain update rates over 1000Hz on a 400MHz Pentium II. In practice, our prototype implementation can a...

The violist Yuri Gandelsman has been enchanting audiences around the world for the last thirty years as a soloist, chamber musician and conductor. He was born in Tashkent, and studied in Moscow with Heinrich Talalyan of the Komitas Quartet, and Valentin Berlinsky, cellist of the Borodin Quartet. After winning the National Viola Competition in 1980 and joining the Moscow Virtuosi chamber orchestra as a principal violist and soloist, he quickly became one of the leading musicians in the USSR. His collaborations included concerts with such renowned musicians as Sviatoslav Richter, Evgeny Kissin, Oleg Kagan, Natalia Gutman, Yuri Bashmet, the Borodin Quartet, and the Shostakovich Quartet. At the same time he made recordings for Melodiya and for RCA.
In 1990, after leaving Russia, he became principal viola with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra under Zubin Mehta. During the following ten years with the orchestra he frequently performed as a soloist within Israel, as well as in the United States, Spain, Portugal and Luxemburg, working with leading conductors. He has appeared with many orchestras in Italy, France, Finland, Holland, Hungary, Poland, Turkey, Brazil, Germany and Russial. Yuri Gandelsman has performed in numerous festivals, including the Pablo Casals, Kuhmo, Portogruaro, Savonlinna, and Istanbul Festival, and collaborated with the most distinguished colleagues.
In 2000, he decided to leave the Israel Philharmonic, dedicating himself to his growing career as a soloist, chamber musician and teacher. He held the position of professor at the Rubin Music Academy in Tel Aviv for more then twelve years, and was head of a chamber music department. He played with the Fine Arts Quartet, one of the most distinguished ensembles of today, for the recording of all Mozart's Quintets with two violas, then accepting an invitation to join the Quartet as violist. Since then he has appeared with the Quartet in over 500 concerts around the world, and has made numerous recordings, including the complete Quartets and Piano Quintets of Dohnányi, the complete chamber music of Bruckner, all Schumann's Quartets and a Glazunov disc for Naxos. He plays a 1748 Testore Viola.

How long have you been training and what are your goals?
How long have you been training and what are your goals?

I have been training for at least 2 years. I am a college student so I am not on the strictest diet at the moment. I have been using different creatines, as well as, mass gainers and proteins. I have put on around 14 pounds in the last 2 years, but I am not were I want to be. My main goal is to gain mass.
How tall are you?
5' 8"
What sport you play? You should get to at least 165-170 before starting IMO. You are still a little light to be messing with your hormones.
I don't play any sports at all. It seems really hard for me to gain weight. The mass gainers I use help, but very little. I really want something that will help me put on mass quickly. And i'm not one of those guys going to the gym 2 days a week expecting to get results. I'm in there 5 days a week.
So any advice on a ph that I could take?
Tell me what your pct would be and then I will give you more advice .
HGH is not a prohormone...........
Genomyx Rep
I meant ph. I was looking at finaflex 1-andro with their revolution pct
Considering you're going to cycle something regardless of whether we think you're ready, stick with something relatively mild. Halodrol is a good first time cycle. Do not stack it with other compounds until you are at a more advanced level. Halodrol at 50mg a day with a high calorie CLEAN diet will provide an efficient bulking phase. Six weeks will suffice followed by four weeks PCT running a SERM like Nolva or Clomid along with an AI and natural test booster. Run liver support with the halodrol. Fish oil is advised as well, though you should be using that anyway.
Given how light you are I doubt you've used diet to your advantage yet. I'd advise researching macro ratios and assessing how many calories you need to consume to maintain your weight then simply add an extra meal from there. Even with hormones you will have to eat big but clean, hormones just expedite the process a little. It you follow the common misconception of "eating everything in sight" you likely will add mass... But in the form of adipose tissue.
First thing is I believe you need to train more naturally. As a first cycle *if you have made your mind up on doing this* I suggest anything from androfactory. Pbold is a great bulker. So is bulk up and so is max bulk *most powerful we have* these can do with an over the counter pct.
Other first cycle options are hdrol,epistane,stano,ect ect. These require Serms as pct.

To be honest if you are not making slow steady gains naturally then adding hormones would not make a huge difference IMO, the exception to this is someone who has maxed out genetically which you are not. If you are dead set on trying one there have been good recommendations in this thread and I would also suggest looking at our line. Good PH's to start with would be the Bulk Andro Kit which combines a testosterone PH and a 1-testosterone PH. You could also simply run the M1D.
As much as I would love for you to try one of our products I really feel strongly that you would get better results if you tweak your current program and save the PH's for latter. Also you stated that you are not where you want to be at 21? This makes me laugh, not at you but at the idea that you would be where you want at 21. I personally was not where I wanted to be at 21, and now at 30 I am still not where I want to be. Our goals are ever evolving and chances are after you run a few cycles you will still not be where you want to be. Don't let that be your deciding factor.

Christians Launch Anti-Slavery Efforts for Super Bowl XLV

It is sad to know that even children are forced to sex slavery,this is something that should definitely be looked upon by both the government and the church.

Dianne's question set me off on a quest that took me straight to Carlson's PR dept. Indeed Carlson Hotels (which own Radisson and others) are currently the ONLY hotel chain in the U.S. who has signed on to TheCode.org, which involves training their staff to spot traffickers and their victims and the process of doing something about it. (It involves more than that. Check it out!) The Carlson Family Foundation is very involved in this issue. This is a place to take your business.

"The problem with this "campaign" is the first word in the title: Christians." I don't think thats a problem at all. Thats doing the Great Commandments in the name of Christ. "I am a Christian, who long ago took the advice of John Stott when he urged us to begin, "Double Listening": Listen to God and Listen to the World." I am a Christian who long ago took the advice of Jesus and the apostles who urged us to love people in the name of Jesus. Even Jesus loved people through the love of the Father. He did not hide his allegiance. "The fact that Christians haven't caught on by now that by labeling their good efforts as "Christian", they turn off at least half of the population who might very well join in their very noble efforts." Actually, its because Christians don't do their efforts in the name of Christ that the general perception of Christians is bigotry and uncaring. Also, I don't think you went to any of those sites, because several of them are secular. I can tell you from working a disaster relief that the biggest help came from Christians, and the last thing on my mind or my secular coworkers minds was complaining that they were religiously affiliated. "In doing so, in insisting that the hotels etc. "join them", they are shooting themselves in the foot and endangering the lives of the very young people they want to help." Well can you give evidence of this? From the information on the sites most hotels are supportive of their efforts... "What if Christians became a part of secular programs to stop Trafficking, or started Secular programs themselves? I can imagine there would be a lot more excitement for the type of involvement they are hoping for. Instead, there is that subtle suspicion that their program "just might" be having a double motive, that of "adding to their numbers"." I don't really think anyone honestly thinks that. Should Compassion International and World Vision stop feeding the children because "its not secular"? They are a witness to the world, a light shinning in the darkness that cannot be overcome. "People in the world are not going to "join" you, you need to get over that mentality and get out there and join them..Jesus did!" Really. Did he? Jesus ministered to the sick, oppressed, and poor, but he certainly didn't do it in the name of secularism. He did it out of love for the Father, that He repeatedly talked about. If you don't want to join efforts that have something to do with "Christianity", you shouldn't be surprised by negative comments people make about Christianity. You also shouldn't be reading a "Christian blog" as I'm sure there are plenty of secular ones out there :)
Doreen Ashley
Is Radisson training the staff at all of their hotels to be aware of sex trafficking or just the ones in the DFW area?
Let us pray for an end to this. Prayer is powerful. I never thought of human traficking and the superbowl. How disgusting in the middle of honest people trying to enjoy their families on an innocent occasion such as watching a football game together. Pray. A Martinka
A problem with this campaign is the quote from Texas senator Leticia Van de Putte. She recently reported that over 20 percent of all trafficking victims into the U.S. come through Texas. Interesting statistic, but senator Van de Putte needs to identify the source of this 20 percent, and the campaign should focus on the source, too!
Mary Perry
"HIDE" our faith under a bushel, NO! I no more advocate hiding our faith than I do failing to witness for our Lord. I'm sorry that you seem to mis-understand my point, which I must not have made clear. We believers are NOT being heard or respected because of the un Christlike reputation that Christians have..for a variety of valid reasons. Jesus IS respected..but Christians for the most part are not well thought of by the world. Why is that? I would suggest you ask a non-Christian what they think of when they think of the word "Christian". Again, John Stott's "double listening". I'm NOT saying we should hide our faith in Christ. That is pretty clear when I imply that we should go out as Jesus went out among people. We as Christians need to get out into the dark world to be lights, not expect the world to come into our light and warmth. Working with non-Christians on a noble project is one great way to do this. That's why I'm saying we Christians would do a greater job if we got out into the world not "hiding" or disguising our faith, but living it fully orbed..for the Glory of Christ working side by side with those in the dark. Can you see what I'm saying?
I really appreciated your comment on the "for women" issue. I've mentioned that on here before, but nobody seemed to listen. I think Her.meneutics talks about things that are relevant and should be interesting to anyone and everyone. I'd love to promote the idea that women are needed voices for the whole church.

Sweden's C.AARME interviewed by Skratch Magazine.
JOHNNY Ola was kind enough to answer some questions about the band and the record via e-mail.
SKRATCH: Briefly, can you go over how you guys got together?
JOHNNY: We're old friends. We were at the same place at the right time, you know?
SKRATCH: You must discuss your full-length. It's pretty frantic, chaotic, urgent, and intense. There aren't many (if any!) breaks in the action. What would you say is the overall tone/feel of the record?
JOHNNY: You describe it perfectly! The record should make you sweat. It's all live, [which is] really important to feel us in the music.
SKRATCH: Can you go over some of the subject matter your lyrics tackle?
JOHNNY: Women, hippies, poseurs, old men. That's all in Jessie's head. No one really knows [what it all means].
SKRATCH: What were you trying to achieve with the record? Do you feel you've succeeded?
JOHNNY: To tour the world and meet interesting people. We put up new goals as we go along. We have achieved a lot, but there's much more to come. We're just so damn happy [...]!
SKRATCH: You've released a couple 7"s prior to the LP, which include some of the songs you put on the album, like "Gasmask" and "Tu Puta Mi Casa". Are these re-recorded versions? If so, how do the two versions differ?
JOHNNY: Yes, they are [re-recorded versions]. Our philosophy from the start was to write four songs, record them, try to get them out on a 7", do four new ones, and so on. We did two [7"s], [and] then Burning Heart Records came and took us. We recorded the first four songs about three months [after] we'd started the band, so it's nice to hear the hunger [that we had at the time].
SKRATCH: How do you feel you've progressed since the band's formation?
JOHNNY: We progress every day. If that stops, we stop.
SKRATCH: I can't help but notice that your bio says you're reminiscent of both Black Flag and Bad Brains---but that you've heard neither of the bands. Is that still the case, or have you heard them now? If so, what's your opinion of them? Are these comparisons valid?
JOHNNY: We've heard them now. They're cool, and it feels good to be compared with them. No one listens to them, but anyways.... Oh, sorry. Mr. Jessie Garon listens to Black Flag on special occasions.
SKRATCH: I saw an article where your album was likened to Wire's monumental debut LP, PINK FLAG. Of course you guys want to stand on your own, and, well, you know, sound like C.Aarm�! But that's a pretty cool comparison. Do you see any similarities at all? Do you think Wire---or any other bands, for that matter---have had an impact on your sound or what style you wanted to play?
JOHNNY: That's the best and most interesting article on us. Some people understand us. That's good.
SKRATCH: What, in particular, would you like people to know about the band?
JOHNNY: That we are beautiful.
SKRATCH: Have you any prospective touring plans for the rest of 2004?
JOHNNY: Yes!: Germany/Europe, Scandinavia, and (if our dear record company gives us some tour support) U.S. of A.!
SKRATCH: Is a U.S. tour possibly on the horizon? If so, when do you think that might happen?
JOHNNY: We have people working on it right now. It's all about money. Soooooooooooo fuckin' boring. We want to go so bad!
SKRATCH: What can people expect at a C.Aarm� show?
JOHNNY: Everything and nothing. We love to play live and give our soul and heart to the audience [and to] each other.
SKRATCH: Is there any present-day musical form/genre that gets on your nerves and that you'd like to see die? If so, why?
JOHNNY: No, not any genre, but the world would have been a better place if there only were 500 good bands instead of 50 billion crappy bands and 500 good ones.
SKRATCH: Any words in closing?
JOHNNY: Peace, love, and understanding. Thank you!

I'd like to say that I'm sorry

I don't want you to worry
I'd like to see you smile
Do you still believe me?
Ooh. Still figuring your life?
Is your heart still beating?
Like it did the very first time?
One night in heaven. No matter what you say
Baby. One night in heaven. Don't let it slip away
You say "I'm wasting time" but that don't worry me
Because I know that I'll get you eventually
One night in heaven. I fell in love with you. Baby
All this time I've been waiting

What's the game that you're playing?
Don't want to lose my mind
Are you trying to hurt me
Are you putting me down?
Is it love you're after?
Or are you fooling around?

Procurement at Defra
Details of Defra purchasing arrangements and information for those looking to become a supplier or contractor.
Tendering for contracts
We are keen to offer under-represented businesses such as SMEs and voluntary and community services organisations the same opportunities to compete for our contracts as other qualified suppliers. We widely publicise our procurements on the following websites:
- Defra's e-tendering site – you can browse tendering opportunities and manage your tender activity (registration is required)
- CompeteFor – a free online marketplace, offering contract opportunities from Defra and other major public and private sector buying organisations
- Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) – publishes adverts and notices for tenders and contracts
Sustainable procurement
Defra is committed to procuring sustainably: defining the need, evaluating options, design and specifying, supplier selection, tender evaluation, post-contract management and supplier development:
- Defra's sustainable procurement policy statement
- Defra's ethical procurement policy statement
- Greening government commitments
Supporting small businesses
We encourage large organisations that have won contracts with us to publicise related business opportunities to SMEs and voluntary and community services organisations, as a means of helping to increase the range and diversity of their supply chains.
An online course - Winning the Contract - is available to help suppliers identify opportunities to supply the public sector with hints and tips on the bidding process.
Government sustainability requirements
Suppliers should consider social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainability with reference to the standards listed below.
The government's commitments for 2010 to 2015 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce waste, reduce water usage and procure more sustainably are set out in Greening Government Commitments: Operations and Procurement (PDF 450 KB)
The minimum level government buying standards are mandatory in central government. There are also voluntary, higher level best practice and class leader standards:
Defra is working to align the government buying standards with the EU's Green Public Procurement (GPP) standards so that they are at least as good, if not better.
These budgets set the course for achieving the government's 2050 target of an 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050
This scheme operates a 'cap and trade' mechanism, providing a financial incentive to reduce energy use in large organisations by putting a price on carbon emissions. In CRC, organisations buy allowances equal to their annual emissions:
The EU's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive requires energy certificates for buildings on construction, sale and lease and large public sector buildings to display energy certificates to the public.
The Building Research Establishment's Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) measures best practice in environmental design and management. Public sector bodies must achieve a rating of 'excellent' in new builds and at least 'very good' in major refurbishments.

This product is great, but the amount of caffeine per serving is HUGE! But that also makes it so that you only ever need one scoop, which I really like about that. The pumps are great, and energy is great. For me, it reminded me of Jack3d, but only with a higher stimmed-out feeling.
The only reason I switched is because after a whole bottle it was quite a lot of caffeine so I felt necessary to go off for a while.

Comments about Fenco Disc Brake Caliper, Front Right, Front Left:
This is a SLC9217 front brake caliper for a 99 Audi A6. It may have other AUDI/VW applications, but the application data that Advance Auto has is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. On the A6, the FRONT calipers grip the disc from the rear side of the axle (rear-mount). I ordered both a SLC9216 and SLC9217. One of these should be the left, and one should be the right. I don't really care which (but customers only ordering one side will care which one they get - see other reviews). But, I received TWO RIGHT FRONT CALIPERS! UNACCEPTABLE! This sort of incompetence is what puts mechanics out of business, when a parts house can't get their applications right.
The caliper slides should have a liberal coating of silicone paste, however, they are almost bone dry. The piston is all banged up like they re-used a piston that was repeatedly hit with a hammer by the previous owner. A piston should be machined and look gorgeous. That is why you buy a re-manufactured part. If I just wanted a new seal and dust boot, I'd buy the cheaper rebuild kit and do a rebuild myself. That makes me wary about how the piston bore looks inside, I doubt they machined that either.
By contrast, the SLC9216 looks a good deal better. Look up that caliper by part number for my review.
Until Advance Auto gets their QA in line and their application data in their computer fixed, I cannot recommend these parts. You would just be wasting your valuable time trying to get the right part. I would recommend shopping at one of their fine competitors.
DISCLAIMER: I have not been compensated for this review. I am ASE Certified and know how things should be done.

Comments about Fenco Disc Brake Caliper, Front Right, Front Left:
The Part was very good. The problem was who ever entered the information on the web site and in the parts book. The first number said the brake caliper was for the right front. The second part number said it was for both the left AND the right front, which it obviously can not be. I needed the left front, and ordered the one stating for L and R front, since the other said for R only. When the part arrived, it was for the R front!. Took the part back to the local store. His catalog showed the same information as the web site. He was very helpful and took a chance and ordered the Right front caliper, even though I needed the Left. Sure enough, when the "right" front caliper came, it was in fact the one I needed for the Left side. I never did find anyone, either in store, or on the web site help desk who hand any idea of how to go about correcting the incorrect listing.
Comments about Fenco Disc Brake Caliper, Front Right, Front Left:
I was working on a 2000 vw passat 1.8T. AAP lists this a for the left side. It's really for the right side.

Does this caliper fit the left or right side of a 1999 Audi A6 Quattro 2.8 V6? (Hint: It's not both sides, it can only be one side or the other.2 answers
Unfortunately, Morgan's answer is incorrect. Fortunately, I have figured out the issue for you. The correct answer is that the SLC9217 is for the Front Left on a 1999 Audi A6 (bear in mind this car has rearward-mounted calipers). Advance Auto needs to update their parts catalog to be more thorough.CUSTOMER CARE

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. Complaint - Washer Quit - Samsung Washer WF206BNW/XAA
Review by
Comments (2)
I bought a Samsung washer in Feb. 2007. Paid about $1000.00 for it. It stopped working in the middle of the cycle after about 2 1/2 years. Every repair person I called said they can't work on a Samsung because they can't get parts. I had to call a company that works on the Samsung products. I was scheduled for Monday Nov 9 09. I made all the arangements for Monday to stay home. Got a call Monday morning about 10AM that they weren't coming. So I was reschedual for Friday the 13th of Nov. for 1PM to 5PM. Again made arrangements to stay home for the day. At 4:20 PM still no repairman. I called the company again and received a call back telling the repairman had gone home for the day. I will never again buy a Samsung product. You can't get parts or a service person with out an act of congress.

This should be 2 seperate complaints. Yes your complaint that the machine itself is not working is one. Your whole second paragraph is about the service company.
Posted by qualityappliance on 2009-11-15:
Go to the Samsung website and under support you can locate a servicer in your area that is authorized by the manufacturer.
Did the machine display an error code?
I agree with Ward, Most of your complaint should be with the service company not Samsung.
