There are always all kinds of published lists at the end of the year: Top Five Ice Cream Flavors, Ten Funniest VIdeos, etc. This is a more serious one that feels important and relevant for us. ASCO (the American Society of Clinical Oncology) just released a long report about research and clinical advances in 2012. Their purview is all of cancer, so much of the report is not breast cancer specific. If you have been reading this blog for any length of time, however, you are aware that the direction of cancer research is away from specific diseases and towards specific genetics/cell types. Not surprisingly, it turns out that cancers that begin in different parts of the body and are named by their primary site (liver cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer) have lots of things in common, and the discovery of targeted therapies makes those similarities valuable.
This summary of ASCO's long article is from MedScape. If you have time and inclination, you can also go to ASCO's website (www.ASCO.org) and read the whole thing. Note that the second included (in this excerpt) advance is Tykerb for metastatic her2 positive breast cancer. I personally know three women whose cancer has seemingly vanished with this treatment. Will it return? Almost certainly, yes, but this is a terrific achievement and hopeful for all of us.This is the beginning of the shorter article and then a link to read more:
A list of 17 major advances in clinical cancer research, considered to be practice-changing, has been issued by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in its annual report, entitled Clinical Cancer Advances 2012.
The report, which covers the period from October 2011 to September 2012, also highlights 70 "notable advances" that are promising but not immediately applicable to practice.
"Consistent, significant achievements are being made in oncology care with novel therapeutics, even in malignancies that have previously had few treatment options, as well as in defining factors that will predict response to treatment. ASCO's report distils the most significant of these advances that [will affect] the lives of cancer patients today," said Bruce Roth, MD, coexecutive editor of the report.
The 17 major advances considered to be practice-changing are listed below; the top 5 were identified as such by ACSO; the others follow in no particular order.
Everolimus ( Afinitor) in hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor used in the treatment of renal cell cancer, was approved for use in combination with exemestane ( Aromasin) for women with hormone-positive breast cancer that has spread despite initial treatment with an aromatase inhibitor. This indication was based on results from the 724-patient BOLERO-2 trial, which was halted early because of the benefit observed. The combination of everolimus plus exemestane increased the median time to disease progression to 10.6 months, compared with 4.1 months with exemestane alone ( N Engl J Med. 2012;366:520-529).
T-DM1 in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. T-DM1, which is currently awaiting approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), consists of the anti- HER2 antibody trastuzumab ( Herceptin) linked to the cytotoxic emansine. "We've taught an old friend a new trick — we're using [trastuzumab] as a delivery vehicle," said one expert. In the pivotal EMILIA trial of 991 women with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer who had stopped responding to trastuzumab, T-DM1 improved survival, compared with the current standard treatment of capecitabine ( Xeloda) and lapatinib ( Tykerb) ( N Engl J Med. 2012;367:1783-1791). After 2 years, the median survival rates were 65.4% with T-DM1 and 47.5% with the standard combination.

What's in the box: Shockwave II, Impact XL, Sea Star, Coil Lanyard, Mini Retractor.
The Adventure Pack is perfect for those who won't settle for anything less than the best. The Adventure Pack includes Princeton Tec's most popular primary light the Shockwave II, the new innovative Impact XL LED light and a Sea Star personal locator light. Also included are two pieces of Princeton Tec Gadget Gear, a Coil Lanyard and Mini Retractor, both are perfect to keep your lights and other dive accessories attached to your BC when not in use.
Shockwave II
Power up from 7.5-watts to 15-watts of power with the flip of a switch. The Shockwave II was designed with the ever-changing light output requirements of diving in mind and offers divers the flexibility of choosing the required amount of light for every aspect of their dives. The economical 7.5-watt output mode burns for up to 10 hours and provides plenty of light for most diving conditions. For those really dark nights, wreck diving, and looking into deep, dark crevices simply flip the switch to the screaming bright 15-watt output mode.
All this is possible because of Princeton Tec's innovative dual filament multi-output Xenon bulb system that eliminates the need for two bulbs and performing the complex task of switching to an alternate bulb filament in the event the filament in use burns out. The extreme versatility and reliability of the Shockwave II is sure to satisfy your every need and it will be there when you need it most. The Shockwave II gives 205 Lumens of Brightness and has a Burn Time of 10 Hours. Light takes 8-C Cell Alkaline Batteries (included), is Depth Rated to 330' (100 meters) and weighs 26 oz (737 g) with batteries.
Sea Star
The Sea Star is a must for all night and low-visibility dives; it is Princeton Tec's newest 360-degree personal locator light. It offers the highest power-to-weight ratio of any light in its class. The Sea Star comes complete with 2 x AAA alkaline batteries, has a Burn Time of 500 Hours, 10 Lumens of Brightness from a single LED Lamp and weighs 1.48 0z (42 g) with batteries.
The Impact XL is the finest 4 "AA" cell L.E.D. light to ever grace the market. Weighing in at 6.95 oz (197 g) with batteries and offering waterproof integrity to 330' (100 meters), the IMPACT XL utilizes a 1-watt L.E.D., which is one of the most powerful L.E.D. sources in the world. The light output of the Impact XL is significantly greater than competing 1-watt xenon and halogen bulbs and it produces a truer, whiter light than many other L.E.D. and incandescent flashlights on the market. The innovative rubber over molded grip ensures that you'll be able to securely hold the light, even under the most demanding circumstances. With a bulb life rating of 10,000 hours (up to 70 hours of useful light) and its rugged impact-resistant design, the Impact XL is sure to be reliable when you need it. The Impact XL gives 65 Lumens of Brightness, with a 50 Hour Burn Time on a set of batteries. All three lights come equipped with Wrist Lanyards.
This product has a limited lifetime warranty.

Department of Special Services
and Educational Support
The Department of Special Services (DSS)is home to several programs, projects and services designed to meet the unique needs of our diverse student population. Our primary goal involves the use of system, school, grade level, and student specific data to meet the needs of all learners. Benchmark assessments measure the progress of all children to ensure adequate progress, and early intervention services offer additional support as warranted. The Student Support Team (SST) at each school tracks the results of targeted assistance in the event that students continue to demonstrate academic or behavior difficulties. A comprehensive evaluation process is available for students if screening results indicate their inability to demonstrate progress may be due to a disability.
Georgia Special Needs Scholarship and SB10
The Georgia Special Needs Scholarship Program provides eligible special education students with the opportunity to attend another public or an approved private school.
Student eligibility and consequent scholarship awards are determined by the Georgia Department of Education (DOE). Information and resources such as parent responsibilities, student eligibility criteria, deadlines and required transfer requests forms can be accessed from the Additional Resources link on the Special Needs Scholarship Program webpage. Marietta City Schools will render a decision approximately five business days after receiving and evaluating the public school choice option forms submitted by the parent. Please submit public schools choice option forms for inter- or intra-district transfer via fax or mail, and direct any questions or concerns regarding Georgia Special Needs Scholarship Program to Jody Drum.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
What Is Section 504?
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a national law that protects qualified individuals from discrimination based on their disability. The nondiscrimination requirements of the law apply to employers and organizations that receive financial assistance from any Federal department or agency, including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). These organizations and employers include many hospitals, nursing homes, mental health centers and human service programs.
Section 504 forbids organizations and employers from excluding or denying individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to receive program benefits and services. It defines the rights of individuals with disabilities to participate in, and have access to, program benefits and services.

This plug-in adds a WMS (Web Map Service) raster layer to Geomajas. WMS is an open standard from the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) for providing georeferenced raster layers.
Similar to the other Geomajas layer plug-ins, the WMS layer provides access to external data sources. In other words, this plug-in will not create a WMS server out of your Geomajas application, but if you whish to include your own raster images, set up a WMS server, and use this plug-in to read from it.
In order to use this plug-in in your Maven-project, add the following dependency to the pom.xml:

Hyper Flash LED turn signal problem (help)
So I completed a full LED conversion on my 2010 Silverado over the weekend. All exterior bulbs are now LED (minus heads, fogs).
However, I specifically purchased these LEDs that have the built in "canbus" base / load resistor so I wouldn't have to screw around with buying / installing additional load resistors.
see here... http://www.carid.com/lumen/
Well, low and behold, I installed all the LEDs and they hyperflash. Has anyone had a problem with this? Any suggestions?
It's strange, when I activate the turn signal, it flashes at normal speed for 3 flashes then turns to hyper flash.2010 Chevy Silverado Z71 LTZ 4x4

02-10-2013, 11:37 PM #2The cleanest way to handle it is to replace your turn signal/flasher relay with a LED-compatible one. I don't know the model number on the one for the NNBS trucks but I know someone posted it here, once in the last few months. Gratuitous use of the search feature on this site should help you find the post containing it...

02-16-2013, 10:32 AM #4I'm afraid if your still getting the hyper flash you'll have to go with resistors. The NNBS style trucks signal flash is controlled by the BCM, gone are the days of the good old flasher relays.

The U.S. Department of Transportation has determined that lithium batteries are a potential fire hazard, and as a result, as of January 1, airline passengers are no longer allowed to pack loose lithium batteries in checked luggage.
Most lithium batteries will be allowed on board when installed in electronic devices. Spare batteries can be placed in carry-on bags if they're packed properly. However, it's not as simple as that. All lithium metal batteries (versus lithium-ion batteries) that have more than 2 grams of lithium are forbidden. And lithium quantity limits apply to both your spare and installed batteries.
A chart of what lithium batteries are permitted in checked baggage and in carry-on baggage, as well as information on how to safely pack spare batteries, can be found on the DOT Web site.

Style and Technique (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
W. W. Jacobs was well known during his lifetime for his light, humorous novels and stories about England's dockyards but is now remembered only for "The Monkey's Paw." Although this story exhibits traces of Jacobs's characteristic humor and insight into the prosaic lives of his subjects, it seems to have been rejected by The Strand, which regularly published his work. Whatever that magazine's reservations about its unpleasant content, it is recognized today as one of the best supernatural stories ever written and is frequently anthologized.
"The Monkey's Paw" is effective not only for what Jacobs does but for what he refrains from doing. A master of economical, unobtrusive prose, he sets a cozy scene—a chess game in front of a fire, a cold and windy night outside—in a few strokes. Only later does one realize how closely the rest of the story recapitulates the elements of this first brief scene, as the Whites make their moves in a fateful and fatal game while the forces of darkness swirl just beyond the comfortable circle of their lives.
Alongside Jacobs's gently humorous touches are macabre examples of what since has come to be known as black humor. One such moment occurs when the sergeant-major panics at Mrs. White's suggestion that she be granted extra hands—a wish that the reader later realizes might have had a grotesque fulfillment. Another such moment occurs immediately after Mr. White's first wish,...

This stuff lives up to the hype, serious energy that doesn't stop. One of the few pwo's that I only need to use 1 scoop of to get the boost I need.
This stuff lives up to the hype, serious energy that doesn't stop. One of the few pwo's that I only need to use 1 scoop of to get the boost I need.
I don't normally put up reviews but since I'm riding the craze wave right now I got motivation and energy out the **s. That being said holy ***K I read all the reviews and kept thinking it's gotta be overhyped, but bought into the hype like I usually do with supps. Took my first dose today @ 1.25 scoops. Took about 30min. to kick in and then the effects just became more and more intense. It compares to nothing I have used as a pre-workout before, good pumps, amazing vascularity, amazing endurance and motivation, and good focus. No jitteriness very clean and lasts forever. Don't take within I'd say 7hr. of bed. I would also say that if you've had depression issues or are on any meds for it don't take this stuff or at least start at 1/2 a scoop and work up. That's just from what I've read about it not personal experience. Only down side I can say would be taste and that I can only take it once a week since all my other workouts are in the evening/night and I know I won't sleep. It literally heads above all other pre-workouts I've tried examples: Jak3ed,NO xplode 1 &2, White Flood, Assault, Lit-up, superpump 250 and max, c4, and others. It's hard to put to words what the effects are like all I can say is try it and I bet you won't regret it.
I take craze almost daily, it hasn't lost its effectiveness since i stared using it months ago. One of the best PWO on the market. The taste takes some getting used to though.
just got some yesterday; and I must say that sh1t is the real deal 2 scoops and I was owning the gym only problem was i didn't wanna leave
the first day i tried this i had great workout.
Focus & endurance was great INTENSE, ehowever energy was ok.
After a 2 weeks you need to increase to 2 scoops.
DO NOT take after 3 hours before bed, your mind keeps going
Great reviews guys.
This is my favorite pwo. You honestly have to try it to believe it. The feel of craze is pretty different from other pwo's, you will be so focused and zoned in. I know a lot of people say that they get bad anxiety when taking it, but personally I dont I feel very euphoric when I take it. Also my strength goes through the roof, and the mind-muscle connection is awesome. But yea the only negative is you won't want to leave the gym at all, even after a couple hours haha
I ordered this product Last week. Before i tried craze i've usually taken hot blood from scitec nutrition as PWO.
With hot blood i got always good effects, more power, focus and a strong pump.
Now with craze (i took 2 scoops) i get a good focus, but that's all!
I'm pretty disappointed from this PWO!
Wouldn't recommend it, next time i'll buy hot blood again!
Did anyone notice that the new flavor dosent seem to be as strong as the grape? I wonder if they changed the formula? It still works well... but not quite as strong.
The taste is ok..Not delicious but overall I dont care when it comes to this aspect.
My overall rating for this stuff is 5 stars cause this product is legit.
I have to say that my workouts on this stuff went to another level.
What i meant about the flavor change was that the product itself, is not as potent. It seems weaker. Not the same energy & drive. It does work & is my favorite pwo, but it seems not as intense.
The taste is amazing for like the first sip, after that it gets old. Only other pre I've tried that does that is Razor8.
It's good though, 2 scoops in 2-4 ounces of water and take it like a shot works best for me.
Once I tried this, I havent looked back. The best focus and energy that I have experienced. It lives up to the hype!!
The first time i took Craze, it was quite an adventure. The feeling is hard to explain until one experiences it for themselves. Music also sounds ridiculously amazing when I'm on Craze. Just always be productive while on this stuff because it'll kick and mess with your thoughts. Craze carries two flavors and while the berry lemonade flavor tastes better, I'm still fond for their original grape flavor since it taste funky. Something about that nasty flavor brings me back to the original effects I experienced. That's where it all started. I've finished 3 tubs of this stuff and the effects never fade away. While Craze is meant to be used as a Pre-workout, it can also be used as a study aid alongside Focus XT caffeine free. Overall, Craze deserves a 5/5 rating.
I have the berry lemonade, and after reading the reviews, I am wondering if my batch was somehow messed up with taste wise. (Sort of kidding)
The taste is absolutely horrid. I have to chug it down as fast as I can, and one time I almost gagged. I eat everything and anything, and I have never been a picky eater, but man, this has a crazy bad taste. Really deters me from it.
On the other hand, the product works as it should. I take it and get a lot of energy, but more so motivation and focus. I want to keep going, keep lifting, and stay at the gym forever. To bad I take this at night about 3 hours before I sleep because I can never get to bed. Worth it, but man like I said before, if you cant take the taste of things, you will not be liking the taste of this!
I must say this is the best preworkout I've taken. The energy and focus is insane. IT'S A MUST TRY FOR EVERYONE!
effectiveness 10/10
taste 8/10 ( grape )
price 8/10
Take craze, wait about 10 minutes, then slam 1-2 scoops of hemavol. I promise u will have awesome workout!
Value :
Bought it at a store by me for $38
Effectiveness 10/10:
I've never felt more focused! I felt stronger than ever as if I were on cycle again. I felt so euphoric and the energy for me was very clean.
Pump 10/10:
I ran out of Hemavol and needed a new pre for the gym today, so I ran to the store and grabbed this seeing as how I've always wanted to try it, and dear lord I don't know what could have done it, but I had painful pumps in my biceps! It was so strong and dense that I had to take longer rests and had to massage my arms a little bit. The pumps for me on this were no joke whatsoever.
Taste 7/10:
The taste wasn't good, wasn't bad. I didn't have to chug it down quick and chase it, but it still wasn't good enough flavor like I would want a regular drink to taste like.
This is hands down the standard that all stimulant based pre workouts must be compared to in my opinion. This is an absolute monster that really makes you feel like a king in the gym.
I have been using Craze 4x per week (stacked with Hemavol) since I got my first tub six months ago. Now I take the effects for granted. I really only notice Craze how when I try another PWO, which always makes me leave the gym saying "Well, that sucked".
The effects are these: solid smooth energy without jitters, sharpened concentration, and an increased determination to give my workout all I have. This is all I expect for a PWO. I don't want to feel like a rabid animal on PCP, I want to feel like I am giving my time in the gym my full attention and focus.
Craze delivers on all counts. It will continue to be my PWO staple.

Our Water Kefir Starter Kit includes:
- One packet Water Kefir Grains
- Plastic Mesh Strainer (3.5")
- 1/2-ounce ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops
- 24-page Instruction Booklet
Originating in Mexico, water kefir grains (also known as sugar kefir grains) allow for the fermentation of sugar water or juice to create a carbonated lacto-fermented beverage. Incredibly easy to brew, the starter culture can create a new batch of kefir every 24 to 48 hours. This makes a fantastic non-dairy alternative to milk kefir and can be flavored after brewing to make a variety of delicious sodas. If you are looking to replace soda pop, your family will love it!
- Traditional heirloom-style kefir culture (called "grains" due to appearance); not a powdered starter culture
- Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan
- Reusable culture; makes a new batch of kefir every 24 to 48 hours
- With proper care, the culture can be used indefinitely to create delicious probiotic-rich kefir
- Cultures on the counter at 67° to 80°F; no heating appliance required
- Can be used with sugar water, fruit juice, and coconut water
Kefir consists of lactic acid bacteria and yeast existing in a symbiotic relationship. The benefits are similar to those of milk kefir (dairy kefir) but the average person will be able to consume larger amounts of it due to its water base. Click here for information on the numerous strains of yeast and bacteria generally known to comprise water kefir grains.
Please note: kefir grains may or may not multiply due to a number of factors but they can be used repeatedly to create wonderful carbonated beverages.
Water Kefir Grains Ingredients: Water kefir grains, organic rapadura (sugar), water.
Water kefir grains are manufactured in a facility that also processes dairy, soy, wheat, nut, and fish products. Water kefir grains are a vegan starter culture (no animal products).
Shipping Information: Water kefir grains are shipped as a starter culture in a dehydrated state in a barrier-sealed packet and must be rehydrated prior to use. Please keep in a cool dry place until you are ready to make your first batch of kefir.
Each Packet of Water Kefir Grains Contains: 2 teaspoons live active kefir grains in a dehydrated state (will rehydrate to 3 to 4 tablespoons of grains, sufficient to yield 1 to 3 quarts of kefir every 24 to 48 hours).
Detailed culturing instructions will be included with your order and can be found here.
Questions on Water Kefir Starter Kit
- From Carrye Williams at 2/18/14 3:40 PM
- How about alkaline water (Kangen)? It's processed through a machine but I'm not sure what that entails. Thanks.
- Water that has been treated to alkalinize it or to change its structure is not suitable for culturing. Culturing involves a precise interaction of bacteria and the food being cultured. If water is part of that culturing process, the natural structure and balance of the water should not be altered. If your water treatment unit has a setting for "clean water" that does not change the pH and does not alter the water structure, but merely filters out contaminants, then the water can be used for culturing.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Melinda at 1/18/14 8:42 PM
- How do these work with fluoridated city water? The filter on our refrigerator is broken, so all we use right now is tap water. I know it is chlorinated and fluoridated.
- Fluoridated water will not work with cultured foods and is likely to harm the kefir grains. Unfortunately, fluoride is fairly difficult to remove from water even with a standard refrigerator filter. If your tap water is treated with chlorine and fluoride, it is best to purchase water. A store brand spring water sold in the gallon jugs is usually an acceptable solution. If you have further questions about choosing water for your cultures, please see our article: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/water-source-making-cultured-fermented-food/
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Gill Hayes at 1/17/14 4:55 PM
- How much Kefir water do you recommend I take each time ie twice per day?
- I'm sorry, but that is a question we cannot answer and is better asked of your healthcare professional or a licensed nutritionist. To stay in compliance with federal law, we cannot give out medical advice or speculate on the potential health benefits of our products.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Nettie at 12/3/13 8:05 PM
- Could you use agave syrup for the sugar?
- Agave nectar is primarily fructose, and you may get a good fermentation from it, but the grains need glucose to grow and reproduce. Cane sugar tends to give the best results for water kefir. The sucrose of the cane sugar is converted to glucose (used for growth and reproduction) and fructose (which will continue fermenting and produce carbon dioxide).
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Andrea at 8/22/13 4:17 PM
- How long can water Kefir or flavored water keep for, otherwise, what is the shelf life? Do you need to refrigerate the finished product?
- Here are our guidlines for storing Water Kefir:
At room temperature (68° to 78°F): 3 to 4 days
In the refrigerator (40° to 45°F): 2 to 3 weeks
In the freezer (0° to 25°F): 1 to 2 months (like ice cream)
Storage recommendation: Refrigerate - Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Pamela at 7/6/13 12:52 PM
- My city water has chlorine added, will this effect the kefir?
- Unfortunately, chlorine can kill the probiotics that you are trying to work with. If using tap water, we do recommend filtering the water to remove as many additives, chemicals and contaminants as possible. If filtering is not possible, aerating or boiling the water for 20 minutes will generally remove at least the chlorine. Letting the water stand for 24 hours will also let the chlorine evaporate. Chloramines must be filtered.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Courtney at 4/21/13 8:56 AM
- My new water kefir grains have been rehydrating for three and a half days now. I used white sugar. How do I tell when they are ready to use? The liquid is yellow (not dark but def. yellow) and has a slight yeasty smell (like bread dough but not as strong). Does this mean something is wrong? The grains do appear plumper but I am not sure how plump they are supposed to be.
- We say give it 3 - 4 days to let the culture reactive but not more than 5. The water color should be changing, it sounds like things are going well. You can strain them off now and start a new batch of sweet water for them since its been more than 3 days. Or feel free to wait a day.
Just remember that sometimes it takes a few batches before the grains are really active. - Do you find this question helpful? Yes No

- From Joyce at 4/17/13 5:44 PM
- Where does your Kefir come from? Mexico?
If Kefir is let standing for a month (in a cupboard forgotten about) are the grains finished or can they be activated?
thank you. - Water kefir is thought to have originated in Mexico or Central America. Dehydrated water kefir grains, unopened, will usually be okay for a few weeks at normal room temperatures, but we advise storing them in the refrigerator for best results. Once activated, they must be kept in use or stored in sugar water in the refrigerator.

- From Carolyn at 4/3/13 10:04 AM
- Is there meaning behind the use of a plastic strainer? I have several small metal strainers which are fine mesh. Are the cultures and/or the water kefir not to be in contact with metal?
- A stainless steel mesh strainer could be used but aluminum is reactive and would cause problems with the grains. It is difficult to tell the difference between a stainless steel and aluminum mesh strainer,. The nylon / plastic mesh strainer is safe for the culture and helps trap small grains.
- Do you find this question helpful? Yes No
- From Eva at 2/23/13 5:17 PM
- I am curious, as a Kombucha maker I am familiar with the need of providing minerals etc for the Scobey through organic whole tea. Would using sweet tea with the water kefir grains be possible?
Thank you! ...Eva - While water kefir grains also need minerals to stay healthy, the minerals usually come from the water and the sugar. You can certainly try flavoring your finished water kefir with your favorite tea once the grains have been removed; however, I do not recommend adding the tea in with the grains, as you may damage the grains.

- Amazing stuff Review by retroid
Value Quality Price
Methods: I alternate the grains between a day in sugar water (recipe in the kit) and two or three days in V8 V-Fusion. Sometimes I store the sugar water culture in the fridge for a week or two before pouring the whole culture into a jug of V-Fusion. Once a month I crush up some eggshells, boil them in a little sugar water, then cool and throw them into the culture. The SCOBYs love the eggshells so much they swirl up and down on all the CO2 like it's some kind of party.
One small suggestion: the kit would be more complete if it included a funnel that fits the strainer. I use small-mouth beer growlers and an annoying part about the transfer is that all the funnels I happened to have in my kitchen are either too large or too small for the strainer.

J.K. Rowling Donates Signed Books for Young Fan's Fundraiser, Money to Centre of Hope
J.K. RowlingTwo reports have surfaced online recently regarding generous donations Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has made to various charities.
The first comes from The Daily Record in Scotland which reported that Ms. Rowling donated 50,000GBP ($81,400) to help victims of child slavery in the Philippines. The donation will help fund the Centre of Hope, which provides refuge for victims of human trafficking.
The founder of the organization, Cecilia Flores-Oebanda said:
"I pray that she knows that this donation has really gone a long way. It has made so many people happy. We have put her name in the building in gratitude for what she donated to us. It is called the Centre of Hope building, where the victims of human trafficking can be housed and healed."The Mirror is also reporting that Ms. Rowling sent a complete set of signed Harry Potter books to a young fan, fifteen-year-old Shona Macleod, who is hoping to raise money for a park bench in memory of her friend. The collection of books will be auctioned off this Tuesday by Bonhams in Oxford. Proceeds will also go to a "new fund set up for terminally ill children." Read Shona Macleod's touching story here.
JK was due to present Cecilia with an anti-slavery award in London in 2005, but was unable to attend. Instead, she spoke to her by phone.
"She said that like me she was a single mum and she also suffered in poverty and that there was always hope. Miss Rowling told me to be strong. She really cared and encouraged us. It was an inspiration."

Palo Alto would-be burglar interrupted by resident

So much for "Lock It or Lose It". If she hadn't been home, this perp would have broken through her otherwise locked window and burgled her home.
Maybe it's time to consider bars on ground floor windows here in Palo Alto?
on Aug 23, 2012 at 12:01 pm
We live up the street on Maybell and the police and their German Shephered K9 came and sniffed around our house looking for the would be burgler. I learned about this when I came home from a back to school night and my middle and high schooler were home alone. I was alarmed to learn the police tapped on the window to ask the kids if they had seen anything. I was glad to hear the police were vigilant as the attempted burglary was several blocks from my home. However, it is a wake up call to be super VIGILANT. This was taking place early evening when most people are home. Lock up and keep an eye out!!!
on Aug 23, 2012 at 12:56 pm
Better have your 44's in your holster and ready.
on Aug 23, 2012 at 1:21 pm
Would love to know what the response time was after the call was made to the police.
on Aug 23, 2012 at 1:46 pm
Why? If you are calling in a noise complaint, that's a valid question. In the case of a live prowler, the PAPD response times are typically top notch.
on Aug 23, 2012 at 1:58 pm
Ok, let's quantify "typically top notch" (whatever that means) and get specific about the response time in this particular case.
on Aug 23, 2012 at 3:47 pm
I feel like our neighborhood is always crawling with police. It keeps us safe, reduces response time but almost feels like we are being watched.
on Aug 23, 2012 at 4:21 pm
you are being watched by them. they ask questions about you when they interrogate people. you will naturally reference people you know and they will ask questions about THEM! you dsay ''yeah .i go there all the time ,they know me''. then they will ask questions about people who dont really know YOU! police are afraid of YOU! YOU have more social standing and probably have te ''45''. thyre afraid of YOU!
on Aug 23, 2012 at 7:52 pm
This happened to ME yesterday evening! It took no less than 10 minutes for the police to arrive after I called 911.
on Aug 23, 2012 at 11:43 pm
10 minute response for a 911 call about a burglary? That's actually pretty awful. In 2005 the average response time for an emergency call was 4:49.
on Aug 24, 2012 at 5:41 am
We don't have all the facts here, and probably shouldn't be openly discussing police tactics lest the thieves infer better escape plans. Usually the person who calls 911 stays on the line and is prompted to provide additional information until police arrive. If the burglar had already fled and the reporting party was no longer in immediate danger, then police might have put more urgency into setting up a perimeter than arriving at the residence. I don't know.

Authored by Dr. Sheila Miyoshi Jager.
+[China Taiwan] +[United States] +[Northeast Asia] +[Jager]
Both the Taiwan Strait and the Korean peninsula harbor real dangers for the Northeast Asian region. The clash between an increasingly divergent nationalist identity in China and in Taiwan represent a new challenge for U.S. policy in this area. Similarly, the rise of pan-Korean nationalism in South Korea, and an unpredictable North Korean regime that has succeeded in driving a wedge between Seoul and Washington, has created another highly combustible zone of potential conflict. The author explores how the United States might respond to the emerging new nationalism in the region in order to promote stability and peace. Offering a constructivist approach which highlights the central role that memory, history and identity play in international relations, the monograph offers wide-ranging implications for U.S. foreign policy.

Congressman Todd Akin was born in New York City on July 5, 1947. Akin served in the Missouri state legislature for 12 years before successfully running for the United States House of Representatives in 2000. Akin is a conservative Republican with uncompromising anti-abortion views. He received negative national recognition for controversial comments regarding rape made during his 2012 senate race, of which he ultimately lost to Democrat Claire McCaskill.
Early Life
William Todd Akin was born in New York City on July 5, 1947, to Nancy Perry and the Reverend Paul Bigelow Akin. The family relocated to St. Louis, Missouri when Todd was a child. Akin attended Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts, earning a degree in management engineering. He eventually applied this training to a career in engineering at IBM and the Laclede Steel Company.
Akin was involved in the military and theology, as well as engineering. He served in the Missouri National Guard from 1972 to 1980, and completed a graduate degree in divinity at the Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis.
Political Career
In 1988, Todd Akin ran successfully for a seat in the Missouri House of Representatives. Akin was subsequently re-elected to this seat five times between 1990 and 1998. Over his 12 years in office, Akin voted for the legality of concealed weapons, and against increases in both taxation and funding for education. In 1995, he opposed Governor Mel Carnahan on the issue of state funding for abortions.
In 2000, Akin ran to replace outgoing Republican U.S. Representative Jim Talent, who resigned in order to run for governor. Akin was elected to the House, and was re-elected five times thereafter.
Akin's record in the United States House of Representatives has been consistently conservative and is informed by his Christian beliefs. He is anti-abortion in all cases, including instances of rape and incest. He is also uniformly opposed to embryonic stem cell research. Additionally, he has spoken out against gun control, gambling and taxation. During his tenure in Congress, Akin has earned high marks from the American Conservative Union and the National Rifle Association. He has also found support from Tea Party organizations.
Akin's leadership positions in the House have largely been related to the military. He has served on the House Armed Services Committee, including a position as chairman of the Seapower and Projection Forces Subcommittee.
2012 U.S. Senate Election
In May 2011, Akin announced his intention to seek the Republican nomination for the 2012 Senate election. He subsequently attained the nomination to challenge the incumbent, Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill, a first-term senator who achieved national recognition for her close relationship with President Barack Obama's administration.
In August 2012, Akin made national headlines for controversial remarks on abortion and pregnancy. In a television interview in Missouri, he expressed his opinion that pregnancy rarely occurs in cases of "legitimate" rape, due to a biological response to trauma.

Genuine Innovations Presta Valve Adapter
Enable a Presta valve to be mated with a Schrader valve bike pump.
Does what is is supposed do. Put one in your bag... now!
I bought one and threw it in my seat bag. Easy to use and gives you more options when you're low on air.
Works great, order two and leave em on your bike. If your pump breaks, like mine did, you can fill up at a gas station or using someone's schrader-only pump.
I've used this to get a little more valve stem length when helping someone out using a short valve stem with taller rims. It weighs so little that you won't notice it in your saddlebag.
