Doings with the HOB
You may have missed it but the bishops had a meeting recently.
The meeting was billed as a retreat, and members of the public and the news media were not allowed to observe the sessions.
Well, a retreat really. It was all rather invite only kind of thing. Members of the proletariat Non bishop types were persona non grata.
Very few, if any, bishops blogged and tweeted during the sessions. In past meetings, some bishops have raised issues of confidentiality in response to their colleagues tweeting and blogging about their conversations.
As if the unwashed masses should be allowed to know what their betters think!
In a March 20 media briefing, bishops participating in the briefing said the meeting was more relaxed and the atmosphere more gracious than it has been in years.
Yes, without most of those pesky Orthodox, it is much easier to pretend All is Well. ™
"Bishops lead such busy lives, we need to come away on a retreat," said Bishop of Pittsburgh Kenneth Price, secretary of the House of Bishops, during the briefing, adding that the absence of outsiders made for a better atmosphere. He said that he would leave the meeting "blessed and energized."
Busy lives. Not something the sheeple know about. After all, what could be more important to do with our tithes than make sure our bishops are relaxed.
According to a
Pravdapublic affairs office daily account, the bishops continued discussion about the committee's work and same-gender blessings "in small groups, as a body, and then in indaba settings, an opportunity for each member of the house to speak his or her mind in a smaller, open setting." Indaba, which means "meaningful conversation," is a process derived from African traditions that was used by the bishops at the 2008 Lambeth Conference.
And we all know how productive the 2008 Lambeth Conference was.
Other sessions included a discussion on spiritual discipline, led by Diocese of Massachusetts Bishop Thomas Shaw, and a conversation on the General Convention 2009 Resolution B014, which called for the study of reconciliation or dissolution of pastoral relations between conflicted dioceses and their bishops.
Like the spiritual discipline you displayed when you performed a marriage ceremony for two lesbians in your diocesan cathedral, Bishop Shaw?

I wonder whether, as they discuss/strategize about their plans to approve same-sex blessings at this summer's General Convention, the bishops are joining members of the House of Deputies in exploring whether cohabiting *heterosexual* couples will be allowed to use the new blessings rite? Anyone who is interested in glimpsing the future can check out the discussion here: |
One can read something about the HOB meeting here. The Day 5 comments about the worship services surprised me the most. But, then again, the ordination service for the new Bishop of Washington was liturgically horrific. As for the blessing of cohabiting heterosexual couples, being touted by the usual suspects…well…the horse is out of the barn. The social conscience of TEC wouldn't want to exclude any other minority groups, now, would they? Marriage is so old-fashioned. And so legally complex. |
Bp Tom Shaw, who led the discussion on spiritual disciplines, also was featured in a video shown at Lambeth Conference. In that video, he famously identified himself as a conservative, all the while performing blessings on same sex unions and populating his diocese with priests who were abortion rights activists, transgendered, and GLBT activists. |
Bishop Martins clues us in on something from day 2 which would have had me running for the hills if I had been present. "The agenda for the afternoon was a report from five bishops who have been involved in the development of a rite for the blessing of same-sex relationships, with accompanying supporting materials. There was actually a read-through of the liturgy, with two bishops taking the lines of those committing themselves to one another." (from his blog) |
If the comment is directed at me, please note that I did not use it as an adjective, I used it as a noun. One does not have to be Anglican or Piskie to be in that group. I actually know a Presbyterian I have decided to annoint as deserving of the capital O. That being said - your pleas will likely fall on deaf ears when directed at me. I often capital Orthodox in the same manner I often capitalize Revisionist. They are words that should not slip under the radar in a sentence. |
No tweeting, no blogging, no admittance…and no one cares anymore. If they didn't trumpet these events afterward, no one would even know they'd been gone. Busy bishops lives? Really? Does anyone in the pews really think their—or any—TEc bishop is busy? Hasn't V. Gene provided ample evidence that it's barely a part-time job that requires almost no effort or attention? These clowns reap what they sow. Go on retreat all you want, play pretend marriage all you want—there's no one who'll stop you or hold you accountable. But just try keeping your diocese's cathedral and churches open with all that lack of interest. Heh. I thought so. Better for grown men and women to be playing dress up wedding than to confront the elephant in the room. What a joke. |
My apologies, Jackie. I didn't mean YOU specifically, I meant "on this board"—my fault for not being clear. It's just that "Orthodox" is the name of my church, and when people say "the Orthodox" it's a tad confusing. Not a big issue, just mildly annoying. Sorry to derail the discussion, I won't say any more about it. |
wow - 134 bishops meeting together in one place for 5 days - they must lead extremely busy lives, since I doubt if any of Nigeria's 150 or so bishops would be able get the time off work in their dioceses to attend such a meeting. I hope someone did an environmental audit of the greenhouse gas emissions caused by this meeting and that some of the bishops planted enough trees to offset the emissions from the travel and accomodation, food consumption and gassbagging that went on. It is fascinating to read from ENS that they resolved to send greetings to Rowan Williams, and that this was reported as a matter of first order importance. Could not KJS have done this one her own as the PB without getting 134 bishops together in their extremely busy lives, and then devote some time of that meeting to formulate and debate such a resolution? I was also excited to read from ENS that the theme of the meeting was the "Gift of Episcope" - wow, really? What a lot of self focused tripe! And what on earth does Shaw mean by spiritual discipline? Doesn't he really mean insitutional discipline? Since I think the discipline he has in mind has nothing to do with the personal inner conviction by the Holy Spirit of sin and righteousness and of being instructed by God through his Word to be obedient to the Lord Jesus Christ. |
FWIW, I'm with Miss Sippi. Not that my grammar is perfect, but generic use of "O"rthodox or "C"atholic as nouns mean Eastern Orthodox or Roman Catholic. Otherwise it is an adjective: "orthodox Anglicans." The exception is when used as a truly proper name like Anglo-Catholic, the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, or the Orthodox Anglican Church. The latter two being actual denominations. |

I just used this pad on a weekend camping trip to Death Valley where the temperatures dropped pretty low in the evening. This pad kept me warm and comfy all night long. It is much cushionier then some other pads I've used in the past. I didn't feel the ground at all.
Wouldn't head for the woods without my thermarest

Great product. Very lightweight, comfortable, and inflates quickly and easily.

this pad is fantastic, i used it on a weekend outing, recently. it worked awesome, the weather was nasty (raining and cold) but i slept like a baby. awesome product.
Thermarest sleeping pads are a must!
October 02, 2009
I have had my Thermarest pad for over 10 years... packing it all over western Europe via motorcycle. It's light weight and durable and worth the extra cost.
No more 'Princess and the Pea' syndrome
August 11, 2009
Granted, after hiking all day, it's not too hard to go to sleep. But having this pad under my bag makes it much more comfy. Since it doesn't matter how meticulous you are clearing the ground, not having to endure that one last pebble is great.
Very nice!
October 05, 2010
Very nice pad so far. I spent a week using it to sleep on while camping and I never woke up stiff. Temps dipped down into the 40's, but I never felt a bit of cold ground. No complaints from me.
Sleeping in Style
November 27, 2010
The Trail Pro Sleeping Pad is like sleeping on a cloud. While doing my research prior to purchasing a sleeping pad, I looked into many different makes and models. I chose the Trail Pro and I am really satisfied with the quality of the pad. First rate construction throughout the pad, the seams are tight and the air valve is durable. I am 6'1" approx. 230lbs. and the large size pad fits me just right. I don't have to worry that my shoulders and arms will be hanging off the pad, there is ample room head to toe. I purchased one for each in my family so we don't have to fight over who gets the good night sleep.
Good quality sleeping pad
November 03, 2010
I purchased the thermarest trail pro sleeping pad Large as a Christmas gift for my brother who will be using it for camping. It is good quality and looks like it will be comfortable for sleeping on the ground when camping.

Here's what other sites are saying:
The Electric EG2. 5 goggles offer the same expansive field of vision and features as the EG2, but are sized for smaller faces. Beyond the oversized lens and frame design that brings you an industry-leading view, the goggles have a number of features that keep you consistently seeing clearly during long days out in the snow. The dual lens design, anti-fog lens treatment, and lens and frame ventilation keep the goggles from fogging up, while an anti reflection coating on the lens and Eye Black light-absorbent paint on the inside of the frame reduce glare. When you're at higher elevations, pressure buildup between the lenses can cause optical distortion, so a pressure valve is placed on the lens to prevent this from happening. Triple-layer face foam lined with hypo-allergenic, moisture-wicking polar fleece allows the goggles to sit comfortably on your face for the long haul, while you can secure the goggles on with the adjustable strap. A hard coating on the outside of the lens protects the lenses from scratches, and the included bag and hard case keep the goggles protected so they'll last through many winters.

Morningside College schedules freshman orientation August 20-23
Morningside College will welcome more than 370 freshman students to campus during orientation activities scheduled from Saturday, August 20, through Tuesday, August 23. Fall semester classes for all Morningside students begin Wednesday, August 24.
Freshmen will move into residence halls from 8 a.m. to noon on August 20. Other events scheduled during the day include an orientation lunch in the Olsen Student Center, welcomes from Morningside College President John Reynders and Robin Reynders, a reception on the lawn in front of Lewis Hall, distribution of notebook computers and a concert by the rock band Quartus in Eppley Auditorium.
According to Shari Benson, Morningside's director of first-year students, the orientation schedule is designed to help students make the transition to college life.
"We have planned a variety of activities that make it easier for Morningside's Class of 2015 to get better acquainted with each other and our campus," Benson said. "By the end of orientation, the freshmen also will be ready to successfully start their first year of classes at Morningside."
Events scheduled for Sunday, August 21, include a worship service in the Buhler Outdoor Performance Center, brunch in the Olsen Student Center, a "Minute to Win It" competition and a "Welcome to Morningside" picnic on the Lewis Hall front lawn.
Highlights for Monday, August 22, include "The Ultimate Road Trip," a presentation about choices students make during college, a community service project to package meals for children in Haiti, a session titled "Surviving and Thriving in an Addictive Society" and an "Amazing Race-Morningside Style" competition.
On Tuesday, August 23, students will meet in assigned classrooms for Passport, a semester-long course required for all first-year students at Morningside.
A detailed schedule of freshman orientation activities can be found here.

Lateral Diffusion of PEG-Lipid in Magnetically Aligned Bicelles Measured Using Stimulated Echo Pulsed Field Gradient H NMR Biophysical Journal, Volume 88, Issue 1, 1 January 2005, Pages 255-268 Ronald Soong and Peter M. Macdonald Abstract Lateral diffusion measurements of PEG-lipid incorporated into magnetically aligned bicelles are demonstrated using stimulated echo (STE) pulsed field gradient (PFG) proton (1H) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Bicelles were composed of dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) plus dihexanoyl phosphatidylcholine (DHPC) (q=DMPC/DHPC molar ratio=4.5) plus 1mol % (relative to DMPC) dimyristoyl phosphatidylethanolamine-N-[methoxy(polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DMPE-PEG 2000) at 25wt % lipid. 1H NMR STE spectra of perpendicular aligned bicelles contained only resonances assigned to residual HDO and to overlapping contributions from a DMPE-PEG 2000 ethoxy headgroup plus DHPC choline methyl protons. Decay of the latter's STE intensity in the STE PFG 1H NMR experiment (gz=244G cm−1) yielded a DMPE-PEG 2000 (1mol %, 35°C) lateral diffusion coefficient D=1.35×10−11 m2 s−1. Hence, below the "mushroom-to-brush" transition, DMPE-PEG 2000 lateral diffusion is dictated by its DMPE hydrophobic anchor. D was independent of the diffusion time, indicating unrestricted lateral diffusion over root mean-square diffusion distances of microns, supporting the "perforated lamellae" model of bicelle structure under these conditions. Overall, the results demonstrate the feasibility of lateral diffusion measurements in magnetically aligned bicelles using the STE PFG NMR technique. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (255 kb) |
Reinvestigation by Phosphorus NMR of Lipid Distribution in Bicelles Biophysical Journal, Volume 88, Issue 3, 1 March 2005, Pages 1887-1901 Mohamed N. Triba, Dror E. Warschawski and Philippe F. Devaux Abstract Mixtures of dimyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dihexanoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DHPC) in water form disks also called bicelles and different bilayer organizations when the mol ratio of the two lipids and the temperature are varied. The spontaneous alignment in a magnetic field of these bilayers above the transition temperature Tm of DMPC is an attractive property that was successfully used to investigate protein structure by NMR. In this article, we have attempted to give an overview of all structural transformations of DMPC/DHPC mixtures that can be inferred from broad band 31P-NMR spectroscopy between 5 and 60°C. We show that above a critical temperature, Tv, perforated vesicles progressively replace alignable structures. The holes in these vesicles disappear above a new temperature threshold, Th. The driving force for these temperature-dependent transformations that has been overlooked in previous studies is the increase of DHPC miscibility in the bilayer domain above Tm. Accordingly, we propose a new model (the "mixed bicelle" model) that emphasizes the consequence of the mixing. This investigation shows that the various structures of DMPC in the presence of increasing mol ratios of the short-chain DHPC is reminiscent of the observation put forward by several laboratories investigating solubilization and reconstitution of biological membranes.

Structural Evaluation of Phospholipid Bicelles for Solution-State Studies of Membrane-Associated Biomolecules Biophysical Journal, Volume 81, Issue 4, 1 October 2001, Pages 2163-2171 Kerney J. Glover, Jennifer A. Whiles, Guohua Wu, Nan-jun Yu, Raymond Deems, Jochem O. Struppe, Ruth E. Stark, Elizabeth A. Komives and Regitze R. Vold Abstract Several complementary physical techniques have been used to characterize the aggregate structures formed in solutions containing dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC)/dihexanoylphosphatidylcholine (DHPC) at ratios of ≤0.5 and to establish their morphology and lipid organization as that of bicelles. 31P NMR studies showed that the DMPC and DHPC components were highly segregated over a wide range of DMPC/DHPC ratios (q=0.05–0.5) and temperatures (15°C and 37°C). Only at phospholipid concentrations below 130mM did the bicelles appear to undergo a change in morphology. These results were corroborated by fluorescence data, which demonstrated the inverse dependence of bicelle size on phospholipid concentration as well as a distinctive change in phospholipid arrangement at low concentrations. In addition, dynamic light scattering and electron microscopy studies supported the hypothesis that the bicellar phospholipid aggregates are disk-shaped. The radius of the planar domain of the disk was found to be directly proportional to the ratio of DMPC/DHPC and inversely proportional to the total phospholipid concentration when the DMPC/DHPC ratio was held constant at 0.5. Taken together, these results suggest that bicelles with low q retain the morphology and bilayer organization typical of their liquid-crystalline counterparts, making them useful membrane mimetics.

Diffusion of various poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) tracers of well-defined molecular weight and narrow polydispersity confined within the aqueous interstices between positively magnetically aligned bicelles was measured using pulsed-field-gradient 1H nuclear magnetic resonance. The bicelles consisted of mixtures of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC), dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (DMPG), and dihexanoylphosphatidylcholine (DHPC) in the molar ratios q = [100 DMPC +5 DMPG]/[DHPC] = 3.5, 4.5, and 5.5, to which Yb3+ had been added in the ratio 1:75 Yb3+/phospholipid. The field gradients were applied such that diffusion was measured in the direction parallel to the normal to the bicelles' planar regions, thereby rendering the experiment sensitive to the ability of PEG to traverse lamellar defects within the bicelles. The pulsed-field-gradient nuclear magnetic resonance diffusive intensity decays were diffusion-time-independent in all cases, with diffusive displacements corresponding to many hundreds of bicellar lamellae. This permitted a description of such diffusive decays in terms of a mean behavior involving a combination of straight obstruction effects common to all PEG, with hindrance to diffusion proportional to the relative size of a given PEG with respect to the size of the lamellar defects. Across the range of PEG molecular weights (200–4600) and bicelle compositions examined, the apparent radial dimension of the lamellar defects decreased from 165 Å with q = 3.5 to 125 Å with q = 5.5. This is opposite to the trend predicted from static geometric models of either bicelle disks or perforated lamellae. Qualitatively, the observed trend suggests that mobility of the obstructions to diffusion will need to be considered to reconcile these differences.

Please note: MDC Campus testing centers are NOT managed by Virtual College staff. Students with testing concerns must contact the professor. Testing center staff are not authorized to make changes, give time extensions or answer questions about proctored exams.
If you are a Virtual College student who lives outside the South Florida area, you must locate an approved proctor to administer your tests. The proctor must be approved by the Virtual College at least 2 weeks prior to the exam. Students are responsible for paying any costs that may be incurred (proctor fees, etc.).
The proctor can be one of the following:
A student's classmate, co-worker, relative or friend is NOT a qualified proctor and may not proctor exams.
Examinations must be administered in an educational or professional environment such as a classroom or the proctor's office. Exams are web-based; therefore, the proctoring facility must have a computer with internet access. Any test proctored in a private residence will be deemed invalid. The Virtual College will have final approval on proctor selection.
The Virtual College has selected ProctorU to offer students an option when taking proctored tests. ProctorU monitors tens of thousands of online exams for over 200 partner institutions using webcams and screen-sharing technology. ProctorU allows students to take exams anytime during the testing window of the online course. Given that so many of our students are working, having ProctorU as an approved proctor gives students the flexibility and convenience of taking their exams at home, at work or while traveling.
Please use the links below to find out more about ProctorU:
Once you decide to take your proctored exam with ProctorU, visit and follow the steps listed in our ProctorU MDC Portal - Getting Started site to register and schedule your exam.
The cost of proctoring through ProctorU depends on the time the faculty allows for the test. In general, many proctored assessments in the Virtual College are scheduled for 2 hours and the cost of ProctorU would be in the range of $25. Students receive notification of actual costs before confirming their testing appointment with ProctorU.
Please note: If you schedule your test with ProctorU for the last day of your open exam window, the latest you can schedule it to begin is at 9:30 p.m. EST.

Sleep problems are of particular concern among the active duty military population as factors such as inconsistent work hours and deployment may compromise adequate sleep and adversely impact performance. However, few prior studies have investigated whether the prevalence of sleep problems differ between Veterans and demographically similar non-Veterans. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether self-reported insufficient rest or sleep varies in relation to Veteran status and to identify high-risk groups of Veterans.
This study used data from the 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (analyzed in 2011), a state based national telephone survey of non-institutionalized US adults. Insufficient rest was assessed in 411,313 adults aged 21 and older, of whom 55,361 were Veterans. Sleep duration was assessed in 6 states (n = 4,936 Veterans and 30,983 non-Veterans). Model-based direct rate adjustment was used to estimate the prevalence of insufficient rest or sleep while controlling for confounding. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios of insufficient sleep or rest in subgroups of Veterans.
After multivariable adjustment, insufficient rest or sleep (22.7% vs. 21.1%, p < 0.001) and short sleep duration (< 7 h/night, 34.9% vs. 31.3%, p = 0.026) were more common among Veterans than non-Veterans. When the Veteran group was further divided among newly transitioned (≤ 12 months) and longer-term Veterans (> 12 months), the overall test for a difference was not statistically significant between groups, mainly because there was little difference in sleep between the two groups of Veterans. High-risk Veteran subgroups included those who were 21-44 years of age (vs. 65-74), women, non-whites, current smokers, obese, unable to work, and those in poor health.
This study suggests that Veterans have a high burden of sleep problems and identifies subgroups that should be targeted to receive interventions and enhanced education regarding insufficient sleep.

The first floor consists of the lobby, sitting area, pool and spa, the second floor has 2 separate gyms and changing/washrooms for males and females and the third floor is for your Sims to recover at the bar! This lot does have a few CC that I will list below.

This ridiculous article does not once mention the word "Obama" or the irony of Gen Y Pros committing economic suicide by voting for the human monster.For them the "American dream" hasn´t faded, they´ve destroyed it in favor of their new daily nightmare.

One of our graduate students, back in 1999, accepted a position with an oil company, in labor relations. The company is well known, and has an excellent careeer ladder for its employees. (another of our graduates from the early 1980s, went with the same company, and is now a VP.But the student from 1999 bailed out quickly, after an offer from one of those dotcom companies came in. He believed he had all sorts of opportunities greater than the oil company could offer.He is now a nowhere man. Click Here if you Like this Comment

I am not sure what "the American Dream" means or when or why this term became a journalistic favorite. It seems to signify something along the lines of "If I do certain things I will have what I want." Whatever it means, if it means anything whatever, it is naive and infantile. Life has never worked that way. Earlier generations of Americans seem to have known that there were no guarantees - that opportunity was not the same thing as success.Somewhere along the line, relatively recently I believe, "the American Dream" actually seemed to expand to include the fantastic and impossible notion that home ownership is or ought to be within the reach of every American. We have seen the consequences of that economically preposterous idea - and we will, all of us, be paying for them for a long time to come.If there has ever actually been an "American Dream," it has been one of opportunity, apparent or real. A dream is not the same thing as a result. We have a generation of Americans who know little or no history, not even of their own country. Many of them seem to have acquired the idea that opportunity and dreams equal or guarantee the results one desires. This is sheer infantilism. It is a dangerous path to go down, for the inevitable frustrations it brings will lead to frustration and indignation, as though there were something wrong with a world in which one´s efforts were not reliably rewarded and one´s desires almost always gratified.

Spot on, #11. For a glaring example of your post, just look at the behavior of contestants on any of the ´´Idol´´ shows.

The American Dream means to me that if you set your sights on a goal and work for it, your chances of reaching it are reasonably good. Sometimes luck plays a part. Nothing is guaranteed.If you sit back and wait for somebody else to do the heavy lifting for you, your chances are considerably less. Voting for somebody like Barry Obama on the basis of campaign promises is just plain stupid. Click Here if you Like this Comment

FTA: "..Young Americans are struggling to reconcile their lack of economic rewards with their relatively privileged upbringings by Baby Boomer parents and the material success of their older peers, Generation X, born in the late 1960s and 1970s, …"They forget, or never knew that the ´material success´ of their ´older peers´ was brought about by their hard work…and the hard work wasn´t necessarily ´fulfilling,´ or ´rewarding,´ but usually just a job performing productive labor of one type or another for an employer who was willing and able to pay for it…and the labor performed had to be worth more to the employer than the cost of the employee.´Dream Jobs´ rarely occur in real life.

Liberals don´t get it because they don´t know what economics, public finance, or the constitition is, but expanded government and huge deficits mean lowered growth and living standards for everyone. The government can spend your money or you can. This business that a majority of idiots can have the government take your money and throw it away on nothing is rot and ruin. The government spent $2 trillion in 2000, now $5 trillion. What are we getting for the $3 trillion -- nothing. Click Here if you Like this Comment

You guys are tools. You really make me sick. They absolutely do have it worse - every generation has after the early boomers. Almost anything is tolerable if you feel you and your family are moving forward in the greater scheme of things. That´s the difference between previous generations and now.My boomer uncle could take a few years off in his 20s to "find himself" and return to an economy so robust with engineering jobs that he could work in whatever place he found interesting. Minimum wage paid survival rates for a family of four with only one person working - in CALIFORNIA. Don´t even get me started on real estate.The jobs have been outsourced starting in the 90s, with a small holiday from history know as the dotcom bubble. Obama didn´t do that. Elites did so their returns would skyrocket while labor costs bottomed out. Investors did so they could sit on their butt and have their shares increase while their kids and grandkids paid the price in an overall crap service economy.Obama didn´t do any of that and neither party has made moves to correct it.Now retirees sit on their butt and snark while 4 kids work crap jobs to pay for their fat, boomer butt´s social security.

Caring for Your Surya Rug
Maintain the beauty of your Surya rug by vacuuming it regularly. Also, turn it periodically to equalize wear and sun exposure. Remove grease spots with ordinary wool cleaning detergents. If your rug ever needs to be professionally cleaned, ensure that the cleaner knows how to care for the type of rug, and be sure to examine the rug together, in advance of the cleaning, and get a signed receipt and guarantee for the work to be done. Only when the following steps for spot cleaning are not sufficient, should you need to professionally clean your rug.
Prevent stains from setting in by cleaning spills immediately. To spot clean, use a clean, white cloth and always blot, never rub; rubbing only forces the spill deeper into the rug. Removing as much moisture as possible with a clean, absorbent, white cloth is essential. If a stain persists, use lukewarm water with a good wool cleaner and, if this fails, you can use a solvent. Be sure to pretest the solvent on a small section of the rug before using. Always use clean tap water to remove any residual cleaner, and dry towels to absorb any remaining moisture. Restore the beauty and texture of your rug by vacuuming it when it is dry.

2010 Castello di Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva
Review Date: 3-10-2014
I met Fabrizio Bianchi from Monsanto in the early eighties and have been a fan and follower ever since. Mr. Bianchi is certainly one of the earliest pioneers in trying to change the image of Chianti as well as the grapes involved. Fabrizio is a big believer in Sangiovese, the main grape in Chianti and the backbone of most Tuscan wines. He was one of the first in Chianti to make wines 100% Sangiovese in the early '70s. The terroir of this region is evident and expressed consistently, spicy, mineral laden, complex fruits and good acidity. I love this 2010, but be warned! It will go quick!
Price: $17.99
2011 Poggiarellino Rosso di Montalcino
Review Date: 2-21-2014
This is drinking GREAT! Right now and will over the next couple of years (but only if you can keep your hands off it and keep some in the cellar). Here is a wine that packs a wallop and offers lots of bang for your buck all in one! Give this rosso about an hour to open up; on the palate you will find ripe strawberries and black cherries, a little bitter chocolate, and some toasty oak and vanilla, finishing with soft tannins.
Price: $16.99
2008 La Velona Brunello di Montalcino
Review Date: 2-21-2014
I gave this two stars: A beautifully layered, expressive wine bursting with sweet, ripe strawberries and black cherries intermingled with subtle earth and toasted oak notes, minerals and a hint of dark chocolate on the finish; round and ripe tannins and a long aftertaste. Decant for about an hour.
Price: $31.99
Daniel Ginsburg "Grande Reserve Sous Bois" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 2-4-2014
Big & rich of the palate, yeasty and toasty, a full-bodied Champagne that finishes dry, but has great length.
Price: $34.99
2009 Viña Eguía Reserva Rioja
Review Date: 2-4-2014
There is plenty of fruit, good acidity, soft tannin structure, some minerality and a lengthy finish. The combination of blue/dark fruit and the black cherry comes from the Tempranillo. I also find some tar and roses on the lengthy finish.
Price: $14.99
2011 Butternut Chardonnay
Review Date: 1-31-2014
Here is a classic California Chardonnay. This wine has exhilarating aromas of honeysuckle, pear and green apple, with hints of pineapple. On the palate, this wine is rich and full-bodied, with lively fruit, sweet vanilla, butterscotch flavors and a refreshing, long, lingering finish.
Price: $14.99
2011 Valle dell'Acate "Case Ibidini" Nero d'Avola Sicilia
Review Date: 1-31-2014
Always a favorite, but love this 2011! Cranberry and raspberry, the palate is immediately charming and (incredibly) the fruit yields to the wines minerality; eliminating any possibility of it being over bearing. Impeccably balanced and wonderfully smooth, Valle del Acate is a renowned producer that has taken an indigenous Sicilian grape, often known for its weight and power, and given it grace.
Price: $12.99
2011 Luce Della Vite "Lucente" Toscana
Review Date: 1-13-2014
This is one of my favorite producers from Tuscany. This is their "Super Tuscan" - a very user friendly wine, the blend is 75%Merlot and 25% Sangiovese. Lots of dark skinned fruit with spice, minerals that complete each other on the nose and palate. The wine has pleasantly soft tannins, but good acidity to pull it all together.
Price: $19.99
2012 Silvano Follador "Cartizze" Prosecco DOCG Brut
Review Date: 12-26-2013
The Superiore di Cartizze comes from the most famous vineyard zone in the region, a 266-acre slope framed by the villages of San Pietro Barbozza, Saccol and Santo Stefano (from where the Folladors hail). This 2012 Cartizze is DRY; I swear smoke left my mouth after the first taste. That does not mean it is not a complex wine. I still get that granny smith apple up front and red apple and a touch of nectarine on the aftertaste. At 11.5%, this is a great wine to serve for all your holiday parties, very crowd pleasing.
Price: $24.99
2009 Cantine Ascheri Barolo
Review Date: 12-19-2013
This wine brings it with aromas of dried cherry and roses. On the palate you will find raspberries, tar, tobacco, truffle and a little Piedmont dust, with a good tannin structure. I love the elegance and varietal purity of this Barolo. I recommended decanting it for an hour or so, and think it would show best with mushroom risotto or a tri-tip.
Price: $29.99
2011 Bibi Graetz "Soffocone di Natale" Toscana
Review Date: 12-19-2013
A few months in oak, the nose is classic ripe cherries and strawberries and a hint of coco powder. On the palate of this full-bodied wine, you will find the fruit describe above with a touch of minerals and soft tannins, which gives this wine a very lush feel to the palate and has an incredible long finish. Turn down the heat in your house; this will keep you warm all winter long!
Price: $34.99
2010 TorCalvano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano
Review Date: 12-18-2013
An excellent wine at a reasonable price, this 2010 Vino Nobile is surprisingly approachable now. Silky red, with berry, plum and cherry character, medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a fruity finish.
Price: $18.99
2011 Tormaresca "Neprica" Puglia
Review Date: 12-18-2013
This slightly untraditional blend of negroamaro, primitivo and cabernet sauvignon will make you wonder why more Southern Italian winemakers are not convinced of cabernet's place among more native varietals. This value-packed red offers layers of raspberry, plum and black cherry fruits on the nose and palate, with light, spicy notes of licorice and a long finish for such an inexpensive wine. Ideal with pasta or the Pizza!
Price: $7.99
2012 GRÜNER by Etz Grüner Veltliner Kamptal (1L)
Review Date: 12-11-2013
Great aromatics on this rich, yet dry and quaffable wine. Perfect for vegetable dishes, lighter fish dishes, or spicy asian cuisine.
Price: $13.99
2011 Cantina Terlan "Vorberg" Pinot Bianco Riserva
Review Date: 10-25-2013
This is from a hillside in the town of Terlano in the Alto Adige where the soil is sandy, gravely and calcareous. A great place to plant grapes? This is what makes this so unique and the wines of this region unique as well. This Pinot Bianco is full-bodied, delicately fragrant and mildly floral, ripe honeydew melon and bartlett pear and lots of minerality balanced with acidity this can keep very easily over the next 5 years. A Great wine to serve for the winter holidays

Some of the best icons we've published recently, this set of "long shadow" icons have a wonderful style. It's a hybrid style that combines a few popular design trends at the moment, to create something really unique. Simple to customise with your own colours and overlays.
Posted in Interface → ElementThe main (but not only) mission of this app is to keep your PIN-codes and passwords secure. The very first glance at Mnemonizer, however, will make you see its unique and revolutionary approach.
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppA beautiful wallpaper design based on Max Bill's/Otl Aicher's famous poster design from the 1972 Olympics. Everything from the angularity to the co-joining colour frames seems to aptly elicit the overall feel of iOS 7, so I decided to turn the poster rendition into a wallpaper.
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppA beautiful flat redesign of a safari-style compass icon. I love the colour and the subtle use of perspective.
Posted in Interface → ElementContent slider for a new client. Trying to achieve a simplistic but bold design.
Christopher BrayPosted in Interface → ElementA superb icon that uses detail extremely well. I particularly like the textures and the depth of reality given to this icon.
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppA great design for a camera icon that's bright and certainly takes a different approach from most of those on the market.
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppA great redesign of the Amazon app icon that really encompasses what Amazon does. I love the detail and the way this icon really captures what people like about ordering from Amazon.
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppA great looking graph that uses colour and subtle textures to give the interface depth. I particularly like the use of different shades of orange throughout the design.
Posted in Interface → InfographicA great icon for an iPhone App series on PsdTuts. I really like the way the icon mimics an iPhone app icon and the detail in the colours. This icon makes an immediate impact, the logo in particular grabbing your attention.
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppI really like how different this joystick element is to a lot of the example you can see. The interesting use of colour sets it apart. The depth and attention to meticulous detail is great.
Posted in Interface → OtherA gorgeous icon design for an iOS app that searches Facebook. I love the attention to detail and the concept behind the icon. It's immediately obvious what this app does, and that's a strong positive.
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppA stunning shot of an upcoming iPhone app. I really like the use of textures here and the way the orange contrasts with the dark background colours. The use of icons is another highlight of this design.
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppA strong interface design for a web site. I love the use of orange, it makes a striking statement. The layout is clean, as is the use of typography.
Posted in Interface → Web AppA gorgeous interface design for an upcoming iPhone app. I love the clean use of icons and text. The use of a highlight colour adds depth and interest to the design.
Posted in Interface → iPhone AppA brilliant piece of interface design that has been created to run on the main screen at Acciona Central in Spain. It's designed to monitor all the energy consumed by the country. I love the circular energy monitor that allows you to easily see the levels of total energy, and filter by energy type.
Posted in Interface → OtherA sleek and brilliant interface for an iPhone game that's essentially a circular game of Tetris. The use of subtle background elements works beautifully in contrast with the brightly coloured blocks. I particularly like the simplicity of the gaming interface itself, it allows you to focus solely on the task at hand.

Sylvan Ebanks-Blake was guilty of a glaring miss as Wolves had to settle for a goalless draw in their FA Cup derby clash with npower Championship side Birmingham at St Andrew's.
The Wolves striker squandered the best chance of the game midway through the second half when he shot over with the goal at his mercy.
Blues keeper Colin Doyle made a superb save in injury time to keep out a header from Wolves substitute Steven Fletcher.

How can the brain store information that for the moment is important?
Or, how does coordination of input to a neuron affect whether the neuron will become activated or not? Further, how can properties of neurons be controlled and changed, if needed? In our research, we study how the brain performs functions like working memory (short-term memory) or how nerve cells become activated by synchroneous input from other nerve cells. We also study how properties of malfunctioning neurons can be changed towards more optimal function by changing ion channel characteristics. We apply these methods to epilepsy and pain. In this work, we use mathematical modeling and computer simulation. The neurons, ion channels and biochemical reactions are described by differential equations which are solved numerically in a specialized computer program.

After defeating Greater Miami Conference opponent Middletown Friday night, the 2012 Lakota West football team became the first in school history to begin a season with an 8-0 record.
In the latest win, the Firebirds took a 27-0 lead late into the third quarter before holding onto to a 27-14 win at home.
6-foot-3 junior kicker Justin Martin caught his second touchdown pass of the season when junior quarterback Malik Grove connected with him from 10 yards out midway through the first quarter.
Running backs, junior Mikel Horton and sophomore Kole Gentry, each added touchdowns in the second quarter, as Lakota West took a 20-0 halftime lead. Horton would finish the game with 103 yards on 24 carries, while Gentry added 24 yards on six carries.
In the second half, the scoring started when senior Michael Carter incepted a pass from Middletown senior Jalin Marshall and returned it 57 yards for a touchdown. The interception was one of three thrown by Marshall, who will play college football at Ohio State. The other two INTs came at the hands of Lakota West senior Tyler Cross, who had two interceptions in a single game for the second time this season.
Before the game ended, Marshall would add a pair of touchdowns for the Middies – scoring on a run of 53 yards and throwing a 15-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Jordann Thomas. For the game, Marshall finished with 165 rushing yards on 24 carries and was 4-of-18 passing for 39 yards.
Next week, the Firebirds, ranked No. 3 in The Enquirer Division I area coaches' poll, plays at No. 1-ranked Colerain (8-0). Entering this Friday, Lakota West and Colerain were also No. 2 and No. 1 in the Ohio High School Athletic Association's region 4 computer rankings.

Read an Excerpt from Wishes Fulfilled by Dr. Wayne DyerPosted: Fri 07/13/2012 12:00 AM
- Wayne Dyer My favorite definition of success, which I've cited on numerous occasions, was offered by Henry David Thoreau in the mid-19th century at Walden Pond: "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." I've italicized two words in Thoreau's definition of success—dreams and imagined. What Thoreau is saying is so important to you today. Be willing to dream, and imagine yourself becoming all that you wish to be. If you live from those imaginings, the universe will align with you in bringing all that you wish for—and even more than you imagined when you were living at an ordinary level of consciousness, or what Thoreau calls "common hours." Keep in mind the basic axiom—all that now exists was once imagined. It follows then that what you want to exist for you in the future must now be imagined.

Major League Lacrosse Contact
Aly Morrissey
Marketing & PR Manager
(617) 746-9980
Ohio Machine Contact
John Algie
President, General Manager
(516) 457-2708
BOSTON, Mass. (April 12, 2011) - The new Columbus, Ohio-based Major League Lacrosse (MLL) team will be named the Ohio Machine, according to MLL Commissioner David Gross. Former MLL executive John Algie will serve as President and General Manager for the Machine, which will begin play in the 2012 season along with a yet-to-be-named team in Charlotte, North Carolina.
"We are thrilled to announce John as the President and General Manager of our new Columbus team," said Commissioner Gross. "He has played an integral role in the League's development throughout his years with the organization and we are confident that he will be successful in the launch of the Ohio Machine."
This will not be MLL's first venture into Columbus. Columbus has already played host to the very first MLL Summer Showcase game in 2000, the 2002 MLL Championship Game, and a 2010 regular-season match-up between the Long Island Lizards and the now-disbanded Chicago Machine. Algie believes the sizeable lacrosse community makes Ohio's capital city a desirable home for the new professional lacrosse team. The team's name was chosen to represent the state's passion and indomitable spirit.
"The name 'Ohio Machine' evokes both the rich history and the bright future of the state," said Algie. "From mining, to manufacturing, to the founding of dozens of famous, industry-leading national and international brands, the 'Ohio Machine' has been, and continues to be, one of the primary drivers for the development of the United States as a world leader. Ohioans are known for their tenacity, and soon, our lacrosse team will be known for that too."
Algie spent three years as MLL's Director of League Operations where he oversaw implementation and enforcement of the League's on-field and player personnel rules, college and pro player scouting, and game operations management.
Before joining the Machine, Algie was an attorney for the international law firm of Jones Day where he focused on corporate transactional work including mergers and acquisitions and private equity transactions.
Algie played college lacrosse for the University of Pittsburgh while earning his BS in Finance. He graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pittsburgh School of Law and also earned his Master of Business Administration from the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business.

I mean its just so *dumb! What happened to animals (you know lions, tigers, and bears OH MY) or ancient soldiers ala Trojans, Spartans, more recent(ish) musketeers, minutemen. With the Machine, you cant even have a mascot... a wrench? A cog? A pulley, a wedge, or a ramp? Really? I know its a small thing (kinda) and like i said, I will still be rooting for you guys, I'm just gonna feel like a dumbshit asking my friends to go to a MACHINE game with me. It's still a year away from our first face off, thats plent of time to demand a name change! I cant be the only one who hates names like the Machine (Thunder, Fire, Crew etc.) WE CAN STILL CHANGE IT! WHO'S WITH ME?!?! |

Chicken Wing Pasta!
by Crockett Â
posted Sep 24 2013 2:50PM
So last night I became a visionary. I made a meal I had never seen before. Chicken wing Spaghetti. It all started when I was suppose to start my diet Monday, but I left my gym bag at home, and when I go back home from work, I'm HOME. So I figured minus well start the diet tomorrow, and make one last Hungry man meal. A quick trip to Wal Mart and I was ready!
Here are the ingredients I went with:
I wanted to go with angel hair pasta, and THOUGHT I had a box at home, but I did not so this had to do.
After all ingredients were cooked up it was time to make some sauce. Now the hot sauce/ Wing sauce (pictured above) wasn't going to taste good by itself. It was too watery, because it is made for wings, and not think pasta. So I grabbed a bottle of Kraft Bleu Cheese and added two squirts to the sauce. Now I made a small bowl first to get the consistency of sauce to bleu cheese correct. I recommend you do the same to avoid ruining the whole box of pasta, Once you get the sauce the way you like it.
Add some Boneless bites and mix them in. That's it, you're finished. To my surprise , it was awesome! Very filling, I could only eat on bowl. Go ahead give it a try and mix up your dinner! I'm currently working on a healthier version that I can eat for my diet!

- Patient Information:
Drug Overview
Cefuroxime is a semisynthetic, broad-spectrum, cephalosporin antibiotic for parenteral administration. It is the sodium salt of (6R,7R)-3-carbamoyloxymethyl-7-[Z-2-methoxyimino-2-(fur-2-yl)acetamido]ceph-3-em-4-carboxylate, and it has the following chemical structure:
The empirical formula is C16H15N4O8S, representing a molecular weight of 446.4.
ZINACEF (cefuroxime) contains approximately 54.2 mg (2.4 mEq) of sodium per gram of cefuroxime activity.
ZINACEF (cefuroxime) in sterile crystalline form is supplied in vials equivalent to 750 mg, 1.5 g, or 7.5 g of cefuroxime as cefuroxime sodium and in ADD-Vantage® vials equivalent to 750 mg or 1.5 g of cefuroxime as cefuroxime sodium. Solutions of ZINACEF (cefuroxime) range in color from light yellow to amber, depending on the concentration and diluent used. The pH of freshly constituted solutions usually ranges from 6 to 8.5.
ZINACEF (cefuroxime) is available as a frozen, iso-osmotic, sterile, nonpyrogenic solution with 750 mg or 1.5 g of cefuroxime as cefuroxime sodium. Approximately 1.4 g of Dextrose Hydrous, USP has been added to the 750-mg dose to adjust the osmolality. Sodium Citrate Hydrous, USP has been added as a buffer (300 mg and 600 mg to the 750-mg and 1.5-g doses, respectively). ZINACEF (cefuroxime) contains approximately 111 mg (4.8 mEq) and 222 mg (9.7 mEq) of sodium in the 750-mg and 1.5-g doses, respectively. The pH has been adjusted with hydrochloric acid and may have been adjusted with sodium hydroxide. Solutions of premixed ZINACEF (cefuroxime) range in color from light yellow to amber. The solution is intended for intravenous (IV) use after thawing to room temperature. The osmolality of the solution is approximately 300 mOsmol/kg, and the pH of thawed solutions ranges from 5 to 7.5.
The plastic container for the frozen solution is fabricated from a specially designed multilayer plastic, PL 2040. Solutions are in contact with the polyethylene layer of this container and can leach out certain chemical components of the plastic in very small amounts within the expiration period. The suitability of the plastic has been confirmed in tests in animals according to USP biological tests for plastic containers as well as by tissue, culture toxicity studies.
