Conservative South Carolina Is Home of Dark (Unsubstantiated) 'Undercurrents' of Politics, Says NYTimes
After Mitt Romney's comfortable win in the New Hampshire Republican primaries Tuesday, media attention shifts to the next primary, in socially conservative South Carolina, which New York Times campaign reporter Jim Rutenberg claims is "a place famous for surfacing the dark undercurrents of American politics" in his Wednesday front-page story, "In South Carolina, Challenges Await on Ideology and Faith."
Rutenberg is mainly referring to an alleged incident during the 2000 campaign in which presidential candidate Sen. John McCain was victimized by anonymous phone calls (from either the George W. Bush campaign or Bush supporters) claiming McCain's dark-skinned adopted daughter from Bangladesh was an illegitimate black love child. But is there hard evidence the smear even occurred? As the Media Research Center's Brent Bozell wrote in a column in January 2008: "No matter that McCain campaign manager Rick Davis couldn't substantiate how many of these scurrilous phone calls were actually made, or by whom."
Rutenberg wrote on Wednesday:
Mitt Romney has now defied a generation of political gravity, doing what no non-incumbent Republican has done since 1976, winning the one-two states of Iowa and New Hampshire in his quest for the party's presidential nomination.
But on Wednesday, Mr. Romney's plane will deliver him to the tougher proving ground of South Carolina for a crucial test.
It will be there -- a place famous for surfacing the dark undercurrents of American politics -- that he has the opportunity to show he can overcome doubts among evangelicals and Tea Party adherents about his ideological commitment and assume leadership of a party that has spent the last two years under the sway of a conservative insurgency.
Before hitting the alleged anti-McCain smear, Rutenberg took a cheeky personal swipe at Newt Gingrich.
Mr. Perry made a point of appealing to evangelical voters with a giant prayer rally in Texas shortly before he announced his presidential campaign and has shown crosses in his advertisements; Mr. Gingrich, who is on his third marriage and third religion, has visited with pastors to assure them of his new but deep Roman Catholicism and his apologies to God. And now Rick Santorum is planning to campaign hard in the northern part of South Carolina because "that's where much of the evangelical vote is," said former Representative J. Gresham Barrett of South Carolina, a supporter and adviser.
Three religions? Gingrich was raised a Lutheran, became a Baptist, and is now a Catholic, but those are all denominations of the Christian religion.
Then again, South Carolina has a proud tradition of political strategists who know how to build an opposition (it is, after all, where Senator John McCain of Arizona was falsely accused of fathering an African-American child out of wedlock in 2000). And this go-round, Mr. Romney has yet to face the sort of bare-knuckled campaign tactics employed with such precision there.
Despite Rutenberg's confidence in the veracity of the anecdote, which gained widespread media acceptance, there are serious questions as to whether those smear calls actually were made. No audio recording has ever surfaced; the accusation is based on hearsay. Byron York reviewed the evidence for National Review in 2004 and concluded "there is no hard evidence that the calls occurred."

Being a Christain doesn't have anything to do with being a Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran, etc.

How many times are they going

How many times are they going to bring this up? If it occurred, it was a "whisper campaign", with no traceability back to the source. If it happened, what's to say it wasn't the Democrats trying to drive a wedge between Bush and McCain?
A few years ago, a former colleague of mine brought up the whole "black baby" story to explain his hatred of George W. Bush. Well-educated, sharp engineer, but consumed with impotent rage at a man for something he allegedly did. He couldn't grasp that allegations do not equal proof! Not surprisingly, he couldn't help but send me a link to the stories about the racial epithets supposedly shouted at Congressmen Lewis and Cleaver for the health care vote. He gloated. Except they were still just allegations. I told him I'd share Breitbart's $100k+ award with him if he could find reliable evidence. Haven't heard from him since...
Every time some smarmy "journalist" pulls stuff like this, every one of their fair-minded readers (in Rutenberg's case, that's not too many) need to write back "PROVE IT!"

Eynsham zebra crossing to 'cut accident risk' on school journey (From Witney Gazette)

Eynsham zebra crossing to 'cut accident risk' on school journey
Updated 4:00pm Tuesday 11th February 2014 in News By Alex Wynick, Reporter covering Blackbird Leys and Greater Leys. Call me on 01865 425403
Buy this photo Mark Harrison, site development officer at Bartholomew School, says it's terrifying to watch as students attempt to negotiate Witney Road. Picture: OX65170 Marc West
PUPILS at a secondary school in Eynsham could soon have a zebra crossing to make their journey to school safer.
Staff at Bartholomew School in Witney Road say they have been raising concerns about children's safety for 10 years and plans for a crossing are now taking shape.
Charles Mathew, county councillor for Eynsham, said plans for a zebra crossing outside the school were being drawn up.
As part of the scheme, according to Mr Mathew, the nearby bus stop would have to be moved along the road and more railings would be installed along the pavement.
Mr Mathew said: "This is far from set in stone but my colleagues at Oxfordshire County Council are drawing up plans.
"Once those are complete, there will be a period of consultation where the parish council, police and coach company can give their opinions."
Mr Mathew estimates that the project will cost £25,000.
He said most of the money – as much as £15,000 – would come from contributions to the county council from developers and the school has also agreed to spend £5,000 on the project.
He added: "I hope that it will be completed by the summer in time for the new school year."
Mark Harrison, site development officer at the academy, said: "We have a number of students who arrive by bus in the morning from Botley and Oxford.
"The buses pull up on the west side of Witney Road and the students have got to cross to get to school.
"It's terrifying to watch. It's like wildebeest entering the water, and the cars are crocodiles."
Mr Harrison added: "The school has decided to use some of the money that's there to benefit the kids and their education towards it. It's our duty of care.
"Some would rather spend that on other things but the head has decided it is important."
Eynsham Parish Council has also provisionally agreed to spend £3,000 on the development.
But Gordon Beach, chairman of the traffic advisory committee at the parish council, said: "It's going to be a long time before we make a final decision and know whether we will actually commit to giving it funding."
Mr Harrison, 56, said he was convinced the crossing was necessary.
He added: "It will only take one person who is using Eynsham as a short cut, or is in a hurry, to go too fast and try to overtake the bus and we will be seeing kids spiralling up in the air.
"Local people all know the issue and we have lots of parents and drivers mentioning it.
"It's an accident waiting to happen."

I can see the logic of a Zebra crossing and welcome it, but £25 for one? whose making all the money then because a couple of flashing lights and white paint surely can't cost that much???
Someone is on the take methinks.

I'm getting exceedingly jealous of all these youngsters (and the excellent pictures) - only seen one set of ducklings so far and 3 Lapwing chicks. The one Long Tailed Tit nest I found has been vacated between my visits, so i even missed out on those. I sadly think that the coots nest right outside the hide at Coombe Hill Nature reserve that I have been watching will not have survived the recent flooding.
Have watched the video TeeJay and it is absolutely fascinating. What a shame you might miss them leaving home.
Sorry to hear that you are not having much luck as yet in seeing any youngsters Bob. Keep your chin up; hopefully patience will pay off eventually. Am not meaning to rub salt in the wounds but your mention of ducklings reminded me that I got a shot of some a few weeks back. If you can bear to look at them, here they are!!!
My first baby I think - a Dunnock - sat on the fence looking very wistful.
Lovely wee Dunnock. Thanks for sharing.
First sightings in our garden (May 8, 2012) of a fledgling Starling and fledgling Blue-Tit. We have also had some more fledgling Robins arrive so have added a picture of 2 together which I thought was cute.
Oooh - that is an unusual photo - two baby robins! Well done on capturing that.
Thank you GeoDave.
Here is another new arrival that some would probably prefer not to see!!!
I'm a big softie when it comes to Squirrels and just haven't got the heart to shoo them away and there is plenty of food for all. Plus the little birds don't appear to be intimidated by them. My husband professes not to be keen on squirrels (calls them rats with a pretty tail) and last summer in an attempt to deter them from climbing up the pole he greased it. However, they managed to outwit his cunning plan and made it to the top which was a hilarious sight to behold. In truth, I suspect my husband finds them as entertaining as I do, but he would hate to admit it! Think he is more worried about the food bill!
I liked the squirrel story as although I like squirrels, they like the expensive sunflower hearts and so I too, greased the poles on the feeders. I used lard and for whatever reason he didn't like the smell so kept running around in circles with his nose in the air sniffing the poles. Eventually he climbed a small silver birch and I thought he was going to attempt a 2 metre leap across to the top of the feeder - but he decided against that. Eventually he decided to leap from the ground to the dish halfway up the pole but failed to make it and slid in a very undignified squirrel-like way down the pole. He ran off with his paws inevitably covered in lard - haven't seen him since! :-)
A few babies have finally arrived in my garden to join the baby Dunnock - apologies for the very poor photos (wrong camera settings and through dirty windows - and it was raining).
A pair of baby sparrows with mum
Greenfinch baby
And another one of the baby Dunnock
There is a baby robin around but I haven't managed a photo yet.
not the best picture quality, as it was taken from the nest box camera
, but thought i'd share -here are our newly hatched blue tits
OMG Scathtiar, that's wonderful!
tiny little pink blobs-i'll see if i can upload a video.
ah done. again not brill picture quality-the photo i edited a little to bring out the colour-enjoy

Four members of the Christian Peacemaker Team (CPT) <http://dahrjamailiraq.com/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=album40>
in Baghdad have been abducted and taken hostage recently. This event is horribly dismaying for me, as I've known embers of CPT since before I ever ventured to Iraq.
Back in November of 2003, while sitting in Amman, Jordan waiting to go into Iraq, I met a member of CPT who had been working in Palestine. He told me he was walking with Palestinian children as they went to school, in order to prevent them from being attacked by Israeli settlers.
Later I would learn that this same individual had returned to Palestine and was beaten so severely by Israeli settlers that he was hospitalized for several weeks.
Last Thanksgiving, November 24, 2004 I shared a meal with members of their team in Baghdad, along with several of our Iraqi friends. We gave thanks together for being in Baghdad in solidarity with our Iraqi brothers and sisters. All of us – the CPT members and myself — were then and remain fully committed to getting out the truth about the illegal and immoral occupation of Iraq.
On the website of CPT is a quote of scriptural reference which reads, "No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.â€
This is what the members of CPT do in Baghdad. I've seen them do this first-hand. They graciously opened their files of documents to me when I was working on stories about Iraqis who have been in US military detention centers inside Iraq. They have worked extensively on fighting for the rights of Iraqi detainees and supporting their families. The team documents home raids conducted by the US military, and have worked to assist internally displaced people (refugees) inside of Iraq who are left homeless by heavy-handed US military operations such as those in Fallujah and Al-Qa'im.
In addition, CPT has been instrumental in bringing media attention to villages and towns in Iraq which have suffered collective punishment by the US military.
Each of the members of CPT in Iraq I have met are committed to non-violence and being a truthful witness to the ravages of war and occupation. They have been accused by their captors of being spies or missionaries. This is simply not the case. If there is any group operating in Iraq today who works tirelessly to end the suffering of Iraqis, it is CPT.

Love At First Smell?-------
As previously reported, the study of pheromones and the fact that our olfactory sense may subconsciously be at work when we're choosing prospective mates is becoming something of hot-topic pseudoscience. Axe Body Spray's success at convincing consumers that the smell of a personal care product can boost sex appeal and confidence, thus making it irresistible to the opposite sex, is a marketing tool that's inspiring other manufacturers to follow suit, according to The New York Times. The soap makers at Dial are launching a new Magnetic Attraction Enhancing Body Wash for Men, which is the latest formula to use synthesized pheromones—typically a family of steroids related to testosterone for men and a derivative of the sex hormone estradiol for women—to achieve these psychosomatic goals. But how pheromones really work is still up for debate, and many anthropologists argue that humans are a visual-stimuli breed and are thus generally more compelled by love at first sight, rather than first smell. Personally, we're of the mind that scent can be a turn-on or a turnoff, capable of sending you into a fit of passion or to the hospital, as the case may be. Where do you stand?

Singled Out: "It's Always Swagged Out Songs, The Drake 'Ish, Lil Wayne 'Ish Or Now The 2 Chainz 'Ish"
Tuesday, Oct 2, 2012 12:15AM
[SOHH highlights a hot record each Tuesday and offers a unique look at the track in Singled Out. After Ca$hflow broke down his Ma$e-featured "Young Harlem N*gga," West Coast veteran E-A-Ski explains his Ice Cube and Danny Glover-starring "Cruise Control" music video.]
To be honest with you, I had really been listening to music in general and everybody's kind of doing the same thing. It's kind of always swagged-out songs, the Drake 'ish, Lil Wayne 'ish or now with the 2 Chainz things. I just felt like coming from the West, there's a lot of repetitive stuff coming out that it just wasn't really no balance.
I wanted to make a record that had the feel of the West but was still universal with the music. Once I got the music that I felt good about, I wanted to do something with a little bit of a different topic. I wanted a topic that was universal and not just West Coast but something everybody could somewhat relate to it.
I don't know if the East Coast can as much because of all the traffic but when you're talking about the South and the West, we do some driving and cruising. I wanted to do something where people could relate to it. Summer was coming up and I knew people loved to be in their cars and that's kind of how I came up wiht the whole "Cruise Control."
I'm sponsored by Mercedes-Benz of Oakland so I'm always in the fly drops and nice cars. That's how that title and concept came to me where I could do something that was about me being in the whip and being fly.
From that point on, it was people saying "This sh*t is hot." I wanted to speak on a lot of things going on. I really wanted to display that and then from that point, me and Ice Cube being real close friends, I told him about the record I was doing because we had just done a record last year that came out real dope.
Then Danny Glover and me work out at the same gym. Me and him actually did a film together called No Problems that's got to come out after this record. He had just come from his film festival, out of town, and I ran into him. That's kind of how that whole concept came together. I wanted to make "Cruise Control" be the beginning and the follow it up withe No Problems. That's why in the beginning you kind of see me and him at a table but nobody knows what we're talking about.
Nobody will know what we were talking about until you see No Problems. You're seeing "Cruise Control" and this car but you have no idea what's going on. It's just about trying to be creative and to show that I paid my dues in the game and I have a lot of relationships. I'm going to make quality records and I'm not going to trade my integrity.
I'm a trend setter. I'm the type of guy who likes to do something different than what you'll see on the normal record. I wanted to do something visually that would make people say it's dope and they can respect that.
E-A-Ski is a gangsta rapper from Oakland, California. He had earlier joined the In-a-minuteNo-Limit family and was also a part of the first TRU along with Master P, King George, Big Ed & Rally Ral. His debut album, 1 Step Ahead Of Yall, was released in 1992, followed by Earthquake in 1998. The album included the single "Showdown", and featured Ice Cube, Ice-T, Dr. Dre, Spice 1, Jayo Felony, and several West Coast artists. A popular Emcee, E-A-Ski has made a name as a Local Super-Producer alongwith his partner, CMT.

Asking Spiritual Questions:
Famous Angel Quote:
A bell rings while George and his family and friends are singing near the end of the film, and George's daughter Zuzu exclaims: "Teacher says, every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings."
Knowing that Clarence has finally earned his wings in heaven, George smiles and says: "That's right, that's right. Attaboy, Clarence!"
The Plot:
Clarence is a "second class" angel in training, and if he successfully completes his mission to help George, he can earn a promotion to first class and get his angel wings. George is a dedicated husband and father of four young children, as well as the generous owner of his small town's building and loan. He's loved and respected by many people, but when one of his employees loses an $8,000 deposit and George can't account for what happened, he may be charged with fraud and fears that he'll lose his business, which will cause his friends to lose their savings.
Despondent, George thinks that his $15,000 life insurance policy may make him "worth more dead than alive." So after a bout of drinking at a bar, George crashes his car near a bridge and staggers to the edge of the bridge, intending to jump off and kill himself.
But before George can jump, Clarence appears and jumps into the water before George, prompting George to rescue him. After George performs the good deed, Clarence reveals that he is George's guardian angel.
At first, George doesn't believe that Clarence really is an angel. But when George bitterly says that he wishes he'd never been born, Clarence convinces George that he's angel by getting God's permission to show George what the world would be like without him.
The alternate reality that the film shows is a gloomy one. George learns that, if he hadn't existed, his loved ones' lives would be much worse. George's brother Harry would have died in an accident as a child because George wouldn't have been there to save him. George's wife Mary would be a lonely spinster rather than a mother to four loving children. Many other people George loves would suffer as well.
After George sees what life would be like if he had never been born, he drives back to the bridge where he had intended to commit suicide and begs God to let him live again. God answers George's prayer by having Clarence miraculously return George to the world as if the alternate reality hadn't happened.
After Clarence convinces George that his life is truly worthwhile, George returns home to discover that the entire community has rallied around him to raise the money needed to avert the building and loan's crisis. George has discovered the miracles of unconditional love and a God-given purpose for his life.

Studying words with the WordNet lexical reference
The WordNet lexical reference maps connections between words. Check out this fascinating tool based on language data from two decades of research.
WordNet is a reference tool that lets you study the connections between words. In the words of its developers, WordNet is "… an online lexical reference system whose design is inspired by current psycholinguistic theories of human lexical memory. English nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are organized into synonym sets, each representing one underlying lexical concept. Different relations link the synonym sets." (http:// wordnet. princeton. edu/). In other words, since all the entries in WordNet are organized into synonym sets (synsets) and they contain definitions and examples, WordNet can be used both as a thesaurus and a conventional dictionary.
However, what makes WordNet a unique reference tool is that every synset is connected to other synsets via a number of relations. This means that for each word in WordNet, you can retrieve not only its synonyms, but also hypernyms, hyponyms, meronyms, and holonyms.

In "Turkey Shocked by Chain Smoking, Raki-Swilling Atatürk," Spiegel Online reporter Daniel Steinvorth reports on the controversy over a new film released to mark the 70th anniversary of the death of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. ... Turkish Defense Minister Vecdi Gönül showed that the seven-decade anniversary can also be celebrated in another way -- one perhaps more to the liking of the Kemalist Thought Association. At a ceremony at the Turkish embassy in Brussels, he gave a lecture on the difficult formation of the Turkish State and the expulsion of Greeks and Armenians, a fact which Gönül described as a "very important step." At the end of the day, he said, modern Turkey would not be as we know it, "if Greeks still lived on the Aegean and Armenians still lived in different parts of Turkey today." In other words: the historical expulsion, deportation and extermination of the two population groups, as the thinking goes, are to be welcomed. Between 1.5 and 2 million Anatolian … [Read more...]

How to redirect Home link to Profile Page
I'm trying to change the Home page links in the themes header.php so that for Logged in users it links to the User's Profile page (rather than the domain homepage).
I came up with this:
<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) : ?>
<li<?php if ( bp_is_page( BP_MEMBERS_SLUG ) ) {?> class="selected"<?php } ?>>loggedin_user->domain
?>" title="<?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Home', 'buddypress' ) ?>
<?php else : ?>
Hoping $bp->loggedin_user->domain would do the job but it only works when we are on a users page.
Does anyone know the right code to use?
Thanks a lot!

Had you told me the Cowboys would land Dez Bryant and Sean Lee with the first two picks, I would have been pleasantly surprised.

Cowboys release OT Adams, S Hamlin

Lee, the leading tackler for the Dallas Cowboys, has been placed on injured reserve and will miss the rest of the season because of a right big toe injury.||||||| Coach Jason Garrett said Wednesday an MRI showed ligament damage that will require surgery in the next week or so, ending hopes of Lee returning in four to six weeks. Garrett said he expects Lee's leadership role to shift from the field to the sideline when the New York Giants visit Sunday.
Lee is active and in the starting lineup, wearing a cast on his dislocated left wrist after missing last week's game.||||||| Lee should provide the Cowboys with a huge boost against Buffalo.
Lee has left Sunday's game against Washington because of a concussion sustained covering a punt return.||||||| Lee remained down on the field at the end of the play early in the second quarter. After being tended to by trainers, Lee got up and gingerly walked to the sideline. The Cowboys said Lee would not return to the game.
Lee picked off Peyton Manning twice and ran one in for a touchdown in Sunday's 38-35 OT win at Indianapolis.||||||| The rookie is getting comfortable on defense and showed his talent by picking off the legendary Manning not once, but twice.
Lee is taking Keith Brooking's place. Brooking suffered a shoulder injury in the preseason game against San Diego on Saturday.||||||| Lee, who learned under the tutelage of the legendary Joe Paterno at Penn State, made his preseason debut against the Chargers and made 13 tackles.

Santa Clara County hepatitis case linked to berries from Costco
Original post made on Jun 4, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Tuesday, June 4, 2013, 2:47 PM
on Jun 4, 2013 at 2:57 pm
It's been 3-4 weeks since I ate them (got the call from Costco) -- will the vaccine still protect?
Interestingly, I only ate one bowl because there were several berries that tasted moldy, and was going to return the rest anyway. So my family never ate them. Saved by moldy fruit...
on Jun 4, 2013 at 3:41 pm
The vaccine is only effective during the two weeks after consuming the berries, but please contact your health provider to discuss what symptoms to look for. Also, getting a vaccine will protect you for any future exposures.
on Jun 4, 2013 at 4:35 pm
Not sure why anyone would want to buy frozen berries, we have fresh berries available nearly year round.

The Chargers officially activated WR Vincent Jackson on Tuesday and released PK Kris Brown.
Jackson was in a contract dispute, holding out for a long-term deal. He finally signed his tender and reported to the Chargers on Oct. 29. The Chargers were 2-5 when he signed; they are now 5-5 and one game back of the AFC West-leading Chiefs, having won three games in a row without him.
The Pro Bowler had 1,167 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in 2009. Chargers GM A.J. Smith placed Jackson on the roster-exempt list, meaning he had to miss three games after he reported to the team.
Brown kicked in Weeks Seven through Nine, converting four field goals out of five attempts while adding eight extra points. Starting PK Nate Kaeding returned Monday night and kicked five extra points. He also missed a field goal.
The way we see it
Jackson is coming back at the perfect time for the Chargers, who have won three games in a row, and QB Philip Rivers has been without top target TE Antonio Gates.
Fantasy spin
Owners who waited patiently can insert Jackson into their fantasy lineups and reap the benefits. Rivers has had an MVP-type season, and Jackson will immediately be his No. 1 receiver.

It's the last Friday in July, and that can only mean one thing. Time to call in sick and go waterskiing? No. That other one thing.
Yes, that's right, it's International System Administrators Appreciation Day. You have 24 hours to show the love to those hardworking geeks that keep the lights on, the network running, and your email, well, if not exactly spam-free then less spammy than it could be.
[ Also on InfoWorld.com: Find out what makes these IT specialists tick in Paul Venezia's blog post "Nine traits of the veteran Unix admin." | For a humorous take on the tech industry's shenanigans, subscribe to Robert X. Cringely's Notes from the Underground newsletter and follow Cringely on Twitter. ]
And if you don't? Well, don't come crying to me if you show up to work next week and find all the network passwords have been translated into Klingon.
Sys Admin Appreciation Day (or SAAD for short) was created as a lark 12 years ago by Ted Kekatos, a sys admin (natch) for a software company. He figured that if secretaries had their own day, geeks should have one too.
From there, it blossomed. SAAD now has its own website and Wikipedia entry. The are celebrations IRL (in real life) set up for Los Angeles, New York, and Columbus, Ohio. According to Kekatos, it's a big event in Russia -- kind of like Burning Man meets DefCon. There are even music videos dedicated to it.
How should you celebrate the geeks who make much if not all of your work life possible?
First, I'd avoid the hugging. As much as they might appreciate it (maybe a little too much), you don't want to be wandering anywhere near sexual harassment territory. Instead, lunch would be a good start -- or a gift.

Also posted over at Rogue Medic (now at EMS Blogs).
On the EMS Research Podcast Harry Mueller, Dr. Bill Toon, and I discuss this paper. Go listen to the podcast. Dextrose 10% or 50%: EMS Research Episode 10.
1. Is 50% dextrose as safe as 10% dextrose?
1 a. Can cautious administration eliminate that difference in safety?
Probably not.
2. Is 50% dextrose as efficacious as 10% dextrose?
3. Is 50% dextrose as affordable as 10% dextrose?
Out of 3 criteria, 50% dextrose fails two of the criteria.
If 10% dextrose is cheaper and it is safer to switch to 10% dextrose, why do so many of us in EMS resist this simple change?
Two of the subjects contacted by the researchers after treatment reported that before the study they had often had difficulty bringing their blood glucose back to their expected usual level after being treated by paramedics using 50% dextrose.[1]
While this may indicate idiosyncratic responses, there is no mention of any similar negative responses to 10% dextrose. this might require a larger study to examine, but this is a great start.
The picture is one I found labeled as being from Annals of Emergency Medicine of 50% Dextrose extravasation, but I do not know anything about which issue it is from or any other details.
I have also written about this in –

High ISO performace is not affected in a negative way by higher pixel density (within reasonable manufacturing possibilities). 7D has much higher pixel density than 5D2 but performs equaly or better than 5D2 per area at high ISO. High ISO performance is correlateded to sensor size and efficiency not pixel size.
So the 5D3 will be as good at ISO 51200 as the Nikon D3s. We'll see.

Valentine's Day is the most anticipated and the most feared day of the year. It creates such heavy emotional responses that it's good its only one day long. Just imagine what would happen if someone suddenly decided to make it one month long. The consequences would be horrific, and the world would probably not make it out of February alive. Just for fun, here are some things that we might expect to happen.
Salman Khan would be able to celebrate Valentine's Day with 28 different women, because one day seems to be the average length of his relationships these days
Rajinikanth would be completely OK with the one month Valentine's celebration, because he anyway celebrates it 366 days a year (even when it's not a leap year)
Sunny Leone would respond to the impassioned entreaties from fans of her previous work, and go back to starring in movies that end up in New Folders all across the world
MS Dhoni would use the larger window to demonstrate his love for Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and BCCI's Srinivasan, and they would all go on a private holiday to France
Sushilkumar Shinde would use the month of love to publicly proclaim his love and respect for our friendly terrorists across the border, and would send a record order of chocolates to Pakistan
Hearts in chat rooms would change throughout the month, from almost all <3 at the beginning, to almost all </3 at the end
All couples would break up by the middle of the month, because there's no way any relationship can survive
Young men across the world would become the class of people deepest in debt, surpassing the Greeks, Kingfisher Airlines and Rich Indian Kids
Roses would be replaced with grass as symbols of love, because there's no way everyone can buy a rose every day. There's just not enough money in the world
Being single on Valentine's month would suddenly become something to be envied, as everyone in a relationship would be broke, tense, busy, oversentimental and crazy
A lot of Senas across India would die of overwork, because harassing couples every day is likely to increase the BP to unacceptable levels

LOL: How team India can win matches abroad
India is a tiger at home, and a bacterium abroad. After our embarrassing performances in South Africa and New Zealand, questions are being asked about whether our team is truly ready to play a cricket match anywhere outside the sub-continent. We think there is light at the end of the tunnel - we think that these 6 ideas will help India rise from the ashes and become a tiger everywhere.

Why did Jai Ho fail to break box office records?
A few days after Jai Ho's release, it is apparent that Salman's latest film will not touch the heights achieved by Chennai Express, Krrish 3, or Dhoom 3. It might not even touch Dabangg-2 or Bodyguard, and this is in 2014, when every other film hits 100 crores domestically. So why did Jai Ho fail to break all the box office records we thought it would? We aren't sure, but here are a few reasons.

CATEGORIES Horror, CinematicalOne of the biggest, and best, surprises of 2010 was AMC's 'The Walking Dead.' Having wrapped the six-episode mini-season, Frank Darabont and company are currently hard at work on storylines for a larger second story arc. Series regulars Laurie Holden (Andrea) and Jon Bernthal (Shane) were part of a panel devoted to the show at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo this weekend, and Holden spilled the beans on some very interesting news.
According to Holden, horror master Stephen King is in talks to write a upcoming episode of the show. Details about what episode that might be haven't been determined, but does it even really matter? Short of getting George Romero to direct an episode, this is about the best news we can imagine.
It makes sense, given that Darabont is the show's executive producer and controller of creative content. King and the filmmaker have a long and rich history together, with Darabont having helmed some of the best adaptations of King's work to date. It was Darabont who turned the novella 'Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption' into one of the most popular films of the past two decades. After that, he went on to helm 'The Green Mile' and 'The Mist.'
For those worried that King will be tied to the comic book's already established stories and characters, fear not. While the first season of the show used the comic as a guide, Darabont allowed for a lot of improvisation as well, adding new characters and story elements to make the series something more than just an adaptation of Robert Kirkman's version. The results of that were hit and miss with hardcore fans of the original work (most liked the inclusion of Michael Rooker's redneck renegade Merle Dixon and were less than thrilled with the season-ending CDC episode), but having a writer like King on board could yield some interesting results moving forward.
We'll have to wait and see what happens as season two of 'The Walking Dead' begins production, but one thing seems certain: Darabont and King reuniting is good news for horror fans.

4.4/5 rDev +2.3%
Sampled at the Princeton location. It's black body reveals just a thin strip of mahogany highlighted at the base of the pint when held to the light; and the creamy light-tan head offers impressive retention. The lacing about the glass, however, isn't quite as bold as might be expected but it's still a nitrogenated beer and the lacing it does leave is very nice. The nose is charmingly mocha-ish with an impressive note of fresh brewed coffee and some mild cocoa and caramel notes. The body is medium and accentuated by the soft and creamy mouthfeel of the nitrogen-blend carbonation. The coffee returns in the flavor with a short hit of acidity upfront; followed by a quick note of milk chocolate or cocoa that gives way to a roasty edge and bitterness at the swallow. The aftertaste lingers quite nicely with flavors of caramel, coffee, and dark chocolate that appear one by one and slowly fade to leave just a dusty, dwindling bitterness. Really quite nice and very drinkable despite its full flavor. Very well brewed; impeccably balanced; and not over-done. Well worth trying!

4.15/5 rDev -3.5%
Appearance- very dark with a nice brown head
Smell- definitely picked up the coffee and cream in the scent, through me off at first because of how overwhelming it was
Taste- The usual stout taste at first and a nice chocolaty after-taste
Mouthfeel- exactly what a stout should be smooth and chewy
Drinkability- Easily consumed, what else to say?
It's nice to have a brewery that close to my college, and even better when they put out an excellent stout like this

4.13/5 rDev -4%
Appearance: Pours pitch black with coffee colored head probably 1.5 inches, on nitro so it's super creamy looking.
Smell: Roastiness hits hard first which definitely lets you know this one has a milk stout base. Opens up as it warms and you can start to pull out the coffee bean and toffee undertones.
Taste: They said this was a hybrid (which made me believe it would be somewhere between a cream stout and an american stout) but this one definitely rests strongly on milk stout shoulders. That said it has a nice roasty opening with a sharp lactose sweetness mid palate. This one finishes with an excellent coffee bean flavor. There really are 3 distinct flavors going on, overall pretty awesome.
Mouthfeel: Heavy and creamy (what else did you expect?)
Drinkability: Had this for my dessert and it really hit home nicely. Pairs with chocolate and ice cream (obviously) but also with some of the heartier steak offerings IMO.

T- taste was the of the smell. A sweet taste as well. Very well done on the buds.
M-creamy, viscous and smooth as it goes down.
D- i could pound this back all day and in fact i would like to get my growler filled if i ever go back.

Had on tap at the Princeton Triumph location. ABV was listed as 4.9%.
Appearance: Beautiful. Dark brown, practically black, with an incredible cascading effect from the nitro-tap. The head and rest of the beer blended together, and took a long time to separate. Once they did, the beer was left with three fingers of off-white head, one of which lingered for the entire glass. Tons of lacing, too.
Smell: Coffee, cut with the typical sweet smell of a milk stout.
Taste: The best way I can think of to describe it is a cappuccino, but without the sweetness. There's definitely strong coffee and milk flavors. As the beer warmed, the coffee flavor came through more and more, and the beer developed more roasted and bitter flavors. Fairly one dimensional flavor.
Mouthfeel: Nice and creamy thanks to the nitro. Nothing to complain about.
Drinkability: Went down quickly. It was enjoyable - tasted a lot like Youngs Double Chocolate, but with coffee flavors instead. I'm surprised this wasn't classified as a milk/sweet stout instead. It's not my favorite style of beer, but I enjoyed this.

I had a sampler of this and this one stood out the most. Poured black with a thick cream colored heading that left leg's all throughout the tasting.
Smell and Taste were identical meaning everything detected was all in both. A heavy milky coffee aroma and taste.
Mouthfeel is ridiculously smooth,with an excellent thick carbonation.
Drink is a bit much unless you are a coffee fien but is an amazing taster.

This batch is 5.6% abv. Had at the Triumph Brewing Company in Princeton, NJ on 6/11/11.
Appearance: Black with a short creamy brown head, left some lacing
Smell: Like good dark roast coffee with a little cream and sugar in it. Seriously, like I had cold coffee in front of me and not beer.
Taste: Like the smell, it was primarily dark roast coffee with a little cream and sugar, but you could also taste some good roasted malts in there. Quite delicious.
Mouthfeel: Decent carb/nitro, very creamy feel, medium body
Overall: Pretty good, very different. It is an idea that I wanted to see done after I had Southern Tier's Jahva, and I'm glad I've had it!

A great beer that is definitely one of the best beers I've had. Thick, rich and chewy, it's silky smooth and a delight to drink. Well -balanced and full of taste, this is one not to be missed. It won the award for best beer at the 2001 NJ brewfest and deservedly so. I could drink this beer all night long and the next morning too (as it makes a great breakfast beer as well). Drawbacks? None. Give it a shot and you'll be raving too.

This is my absolute favorite beer. Went to the princeton location on my birthday and got the sampler and this was amazing. I then proceeded to order 3 more of this brew that night. It is extremely creamy with a chocolate/creamy/coffee aroma. The taste is extremely smooth and creamy with a big coffee taste. This beer is perfect in my eyes. I could drink this 24/7. If only they sold it in retail I would be in heaven.

Had this when it was on tap at the Philly location.
Super rich dark color, with a really thick creamy head that seemed to last the entire time.
Mouth feel was satin silky and smooth doesn't even begin to describe this. Also seemed to linger for awhile on the tongue.
Taste was amazing. It was strong without being too heavy. Very low hop character. Had a creamy coffee flavor and a nice slighty sweet chocolate undertone.
Might as well have been a Cappuccino flavored Guiness.
The next time this shows up at Triumph I'm gonna bring my sleeping bag and lantern, because I'm not leaving.

Recently had on tap 10/7/06 again.
Really this is absolutely outstanding.
This pours a ridiculously nice black, with a great rich creamy head. Huge coffee aroma and medium burnt toast.
Taste - rich and luxurious taste as you drink pint by pint. Not over-powering with the coffee or cream either - and almost zero traceable hops. Best about a minute after they pour it, starts cold and doesn't have a chance to get warm.
Drinkability - a strong positive for this beer, as it is not nearly as filling as it may seem by appearance and taste. Overall - Excellent Sweet/American Stout - clearly one of my top five.
I am always looking forward to having this one at Triumph - it is my favorite of all of their stouts.
As a note - I used to have this rated 4.8/5.0; however, after recently having it I could not think of anything that could have been done to have this more enjoyable. Absolutely remarkable, this is my first 5/5 beer. Flawless.

On-tap at the Princeton Triumph on 1/19/08. The beer was served to me in a tall Pilsener glass. The beer was an almost pitch black color with a few ruby red highlights at the bottom. It had a long lasting creamy 1 inch white/tan colored head of foam. That 1 inch head of foam never went away. That head of foam actually lasted till the last drop of beer was sipped away. The aroma was a bit on the heavy side and contained roasted coffee beans, bitter dark chocolate and some roasted malts toward the end. The taste was just filled to the brim with bitter dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, cream, roasted malts, and a tiny hint of roasted hops at the end. This beer too smooth for it's own good. Besides that, it was also creamy, slightly chewy, and had a short lived aftertaste of roasted coffee beans and bitter dark chocolate. This was the best beer that I had at Triumph on 1/19/08. This is one beer that I would return again to drink once more.

This beer made the trip to Princeton worth it. It's a very dark brown with a creamy tan head which lasts for a long time in the mouth and on the sides of the glass, and it smells like sweet roasted coffee grounds.
The taste is of coffee, coffee, coffee (I honestly wondered if I was at some sort of amazing alcoholic's WaWa) and some sweet cream, with a very smooth, creamy, milk-stout like mouthfeel. An exceptional dessert beer--I'm not much of a stout person usually, but I am a coffee person, and oh, this is an exceptional coffee beer.

Full-bodied with a robust coffee character. Flavors of sweet chocolate and roasted malt along with a fair amount of bitter hops. The finish is creamy and smooth with a tasty coffee flavor and aftertaste. Overall this is a solid coffee Stout.

3.9/5 rDev -4.6%
12 oz. bottle purchased at the bottle release. The bagpipe player was hilarious.
Appearance - Deep mahogany body. Reddish looking when light shines through. Nice body, but the head is weak. Almost no head and no lacing.
Smell - Pine hops and some citrus, but it's all fairly subdued. I had a taste of this from the fermenter and it was REALLY hoppy in the aroma. It seems to have retracted quite a bit since then. The dominant flavor is the malt, which is nice. A lot of butterscotch with some nice vanilla.
Taste - Very much follows the aroma. A strong hop flavor up front, but it blend seamlessly into the body of the beer. Pine fades to butterscotch and caramel, with the slightest bitterness at the end. The hops up front give it a complexity that would otherwise be lacking.
Mouthfeel - It's really low in carbonation. Almost flat. That's kind of a problem for me. It doesn't take away from the beer too much, but it does make it a bit sluggish. Very oily and slick in the body, in keeping with the style.
Overall - I'm impressed. I think the taste I had from the fermenter actually scared me a bit. It was REALLY hoppy. It seems to have settled into a well-balanced beer. Great to see this brewery putting out high-quality beers.

Bought at TBC release party. Poured out of a 12 oz bottle into my tulip.
A – Poured out a dark mahogany brown with about a half finger of off white head. Settles down quickly to a nice cover. Good lacing down the glass.
S – Malty aromas up front with a nice hop bitterness in the nose. Fruit. Slight sweet smell.
T – Starts off with a nice hop bite and citrusy grapefuit flavor. Quickly moves on to a roasty taste with a great subtle caramel sweetness. Slightly smoky which I am guessing comes from the oak. Taste of butterscotch as well.
M – Full bodied with low carbonation. Creamy all the way through. Very drinkable.
O – This is a great brew. Has a nice balance of hops and roast giving it a bitter and sweet taste. Dangerously drinkable at 9% ABV. Glad I bought the max on these. Excellent.

T - Loads of carmel and butterscotch, some vanilla from the oak as well as a sweet hop flavor that leaves a mild bit on the back end.
M - creamy, medium bodied with good carbonations considering this was a beer gunned bottle.
Overall this beer is extremely tasty, loaded with flavor. I def wish i would have bought more. Matt well done my friend!

Served into a pint glass from a 12oz bottle.
Appearance: Very dark brown color which is typical for Scotch Ales/Wee Heavy's. It leaves a good amount of lacing. It also gave about a finger of head.
Smell: It's very piney at front, but I could pick up hints of caramel and sweetness.
Taste: Very hoppy at the start, but like the smell, the beer is overwhelmed by a sweet caramel flavor. I can sense tiny hints of vanilla also. There is also a slight note of bitterness towards the end. I can also taste the alcohol, but it's really subtle. It doesn't ruin the rest of the flavor.
Mouthfeel: It's very creamy, but not that thick. It is low in carbonation.
Overall: It's a great beer from a brewery that deserves the recognition it's been getting recently. I definitely enjoyed this beer a lot.

FHI Heat Platform Plus Professional Styling Iron 1 Inch
Based on 3 Reviews
LizHairLight BrownDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairGreat Flat Iron :)I also found this flat iron by watching Mo Knows Hair have highlighted relaxed hair and this allows me to achieve the salon look at home without spending hundreds
of dollars. It's less damaging than my old flat iron.The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is
because of the auto-shutoff feature it turns itself off before i can finish my whole head. I took issue with the shipping method Folica uses (I won't ever accept free shipping again
it Smartpost is slow and untrackable after it leaves FedEx's hands and goes to
USPS, because their incompetence I almost ended up not receiving it) Overall
I like the iron.

StephanieOrlando, FLHairMedium BrownOily HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairMy Best Defense Against Humidity!I absolutely love this flat iron! I have fine, wavy hair that is pretty easy to straighten but I live in a very humid part of the country. My hair tends to curl around the frame of my face and I have not found a single styling product that will hold it straight. I have never purchased a professional flat iron, but after living here a few years with poor results from my Revlon (drugstore) and Remington models, I decided it was time to make the investment. My hair stylist friend recommended the FHI Heat Platform and when I saw the Plus, I figured it was worth the extra few bucks. I use this device almost every day and rarely have to pass over the hair more than once (I also only use it at 370 degrees - again, fine hair). My straightness holds beautifully all day long - even in the most humid conditions!
I would definitely recommend purchasing from Folica or another authorized retailer vs. major online retailers because FHI will only honor the warranty if purchased from an authorized dealer. Thankfully, Folica was offering a great coupon code when I purchased which made this a very sensible purchase!1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

CandyHairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairThanksI bought this iron because I am an avid subscriber of "Mo Knows Hair" on YouTube and her website. She always uses the regular FHI Platform iron. I kept seeing the results of all natural African American types that she used these irons on, and the results were ALWAYS beautiful! Well, these irons did the same for me! I was an avid Sedu Revolution flat iron user, but now I have made the switch. The Platform series is FANTASTIC! I even left reviews of the Sedu iron, with pics, but this iron is better. It doesn't snag and it straightens my 3b, 3c and 4a hair. Find a Folica coupon and try these out! It's worth it! You may never use Sedu again. Even if you don't buy the Platform Plus, the regular Platforms are great! Thanks again Mo!9 out of 9 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

More than a million Florida homeowners are reaching deeper into their pockets to pay for Citizens Property Insurance.
The state's largest insurer has written $440 billion in property coverage across the state.
For three straight years, the not-for-profit government entity has raised rates.
Our NBC2 Good Question: "It's been 8 years since a hurricane hit Florida. So why are rates for Citizens Insurance up 10% from last year?"
Chad Oliver took that question to Representative Matt Caldwell who represents District 79 in the Florida House.
The Lee County republican serves on the Insurance and Banking Subcommittee and knows 'Citizens' is the only place for coastal homeowners to turn for insurance against wind damage.
"Private insurers don't want to get into that market," said Caldwell.
Even policy holders who live far from the water end up sharing the risk and higher rates.
When asked why rates are on the rise, Caldwell answered "because very simply, the rates today are lower than what the liability is."
He says insurance analysts have told the governing board for Citizens Insurance it doesn't have enough money to cover a one-hundred year storm similar to the damage left behind by Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
A catastrophic storm like that would cut-through the state-run insurer's cash reserves - costing an estimated $24 billion. Currently, Citizens Insurance has $14 billion in the bank.
"There's really only two options left for the legislature. We can either raise the rates and make sure we fund it or just throw the dice and gamble."
Caldwell and his colleagues in the Florida legislature control how much Citizens is allowed to raise rates.
"I'm not going to jump in and say it's not a difficult question, because it is. This is people's pocket books and it's a tough time. But we're all on the hook."
You heard representative Caldwell mention everyone is on the hook, meaning if another hurricane Andrew or Katrina hit... Citizens policy holders would have to pay a special assessment, then the rest would come out of the state budget.
These rate hikes though are painful; they get passed on not just to those homeowners on the coast but to people inland far from water.
