Appearance: Slightly cloudy; amber/orange; huge frothy head, long lasting
Aroma: Weak malt; faint bread
Taste: Sweet, juicy malt on start; warming alcohol with good nuttiness in mid; finishes sweet with hoppy bitterness lingering; pretty crisp and refreshing
Remarks: Surprisingly tasty for a low-cost beer

This is an 8.40% abv beer that costs $1.99 and don't taste too bad. The review takes these points into consideration. This is not Pliny the Elder, Avery Maharaja or SN Torpedo Ale. A pleasant beer, not a great example of a DIPA. Pours a clear, light copper color with a good size, slightly off-white head. Pretty good head retention and lacing.
Aroma is somewhat Bud-like with adjunct ingredients and a little grassy hops.
Taste is somewhat better. The grassy hops are there and there is a bit of Belgian style flavor...I was thinking yeast but other reviewers are saying candi sugar. The adjunct/corn is somewhat present in the taste as well, but overall not bad. The missing ingredient is a heavy -duty hops presence. A little grassy hops, that is it.
Mouthfeel is rich enough, not watery as you would expect in a cheap beer. There is a touch of bitterness, but not enough for a DIPA.
For a buck ninety nine, this is worth a shot.

Poured into wine goblet
A:clear dark amber. No carbination fat tan head dies kinda slowly good lacing but looks watery
S:Malty woody grain sweet fruit alcohol smell. This smell reminds me of cheap low grade beer. Like pbr.
T: soapy upfront acrid bitter grain alcohol not hop bitter. Slight malt backbone.some slight fruit esters The soapy bitterness lingers in the aftertaste.
M: thin watery slick like old hard grease
O:Wow this is petty nasty.its hasrsh bitter soapy and greasy .Even the 8.5% ABV IS not a saving grace.I would actually rather have a PBR a least it's clean not soapy or grain alcohol like. This tastes like I should be stripping my wood funiture with it.Good if you want to get drunk and don't care HOW! Or why!

With this beer you get what you pay for. The taste is ok but there is absolutely no hop aroma and very little hop bitterness. Cannot really be considered an DIPA or really even an IPA due to the lack of hops. Good price for the 8.4% alcohol but you can find much better.

Boatswain Double IPA "Twin Screw Steamer": Almost no nose. I expected some hop aroma, considering it's a DIPA. It' s a big beer at 8.4% ABV. It has a nice big malty flavor that sticks around on the aftertaste, along with a balanced hop presence and bitterness. It's just enough hop bite for my taste. At the pour, there was a good two fingers of creamy head, with excellent retention and good lace. Dark copper color. For two bucks a bomber, this is a solid brew. Don't let the low price keep you from it.

$2 a bomber?!? Expectations were not high.
It actually looks like a decent double IPA, albeit a bit too translucent.
Trouble starts at the smell. This is the only double IPA I have ever had that has virtually no hop smell at all. Frankly, it doesn't have much of an aroma at all. What little is there is all sweet malt.
Taste is all malt upfront with a slight bitter finish from what little hops must be in this.
Mouthfeel is far too thin for the style, but not outrageously bad.
Overall, you get what you pay for, apparently. Not the worst beer I have ever had, but you can't seriously call this a double IPA. I wouldn't even call it a regular IPA. more like a strong, malt forward pale ale. There are just not enough hops here for a double IPA distinction.

Pours clear pale amber with one finger of off white head. Modest lacing.
Smell is not bad just not much there. Slightly malty.
Taste is mild hops, with plenty of malts. Almost like a double Blond Ale if such a thing exists.
Mouthfeel is quite thin for the style.
Overall a tasty beer that doesn't belong in this style category. Also I never found the alcohol to be off putting.

Twin Screw Steamer opens to a surprisingly malty nose, for a double IPA, for while there is a good bit of hop aroma in here, with grapefruit rind, as well as lighter touches of pine resin, lemon, and a faint bit of dandelion stem, the malts are perhaps stronger, bringing toast crust, biscuit, Grape Nuts cereal, wet wheat, hay, grass, and a bit of toasted nut. Bits of orange, berry, and apricot fruit esters, as well as brown sugar, add further complexity. The aromas as a whole are, in addition, fairly light, regardless of hop-malt balance, and fast-fading, difficult to detect in an open bottle after a minute or two, and what's left is mainly hay, with bits of sugar.
On the tongue, the beer proves far more flavorful than the nose let on, the initial flavors being a nice sugary, hoppy blend that brings pink grapefruit, grapefruit rind, and lesser touches of pine resin, dandelion stem, and lemon from the hops, and a nice assortment of fruit esters, including orange, berry, cherry, apricot, and even touches of melon. A large swath of brown sugar adds further sweetness, and the grains add a nice backing layer of toast crust, biscuit, and Grape Nuts cereal. In subsequent sips the sugars aren't quite as sweet, and a more bitter, piney hop note creeps in, as well as a more earthy, hay-like, grassy malt touch. The aftertaste is more of these latter notes, with even more of a pine resin hop overtone, and lingers on the tongue for a good while. Mouthfeel is medium-light to medium, and carbonation is medium to medium-high, fizzing up on the tongue.
Overall, this is a decent double IPA, though the weak nose is a strange beginning to what is otherwise a fairly flavorful beer. The flavors are good, and present in decent strength, but lack nuance, especially in the hops, which could use a few extra dimensions to bring a more full and round profile. Having said that, for roughly $2.50 a bomber at Trader Joe's, you're not going to get a much better flavor for the price, and the 8.4% ABV is also surprisingly high. Excellent bargain.

Poured this Imperial IPA from a bottle into a pint glass. Ale poured a hazy copper color, produced an off white head, decent retention and it left some lacing on the glass. The aroma consisted of caramel, nuts and a slight tint of hops. Medium in body, malted grain, caramel sweetness, fresh baked bread, apple, pear and some bitterness from the hops. Overall, This is not what i was expecting from an American brewed Imperial IPA- It seems as if they went for a super strong malt profile and used traditional English Hops. While some of the Boatswain Ales are decent, this one I was not a fan of.

Just because the reviews were bad, I figured I would allow this one to age for about a year to see if it would develop some redeeming qualities. Poured into a pint glass from the bottle, the beer was a copper color with a white head. As far as side of the glass go, nothing was left behind by the foam. The aroma certainly was not a reflection of a DIPA. In fact, it was all wrong. It smelled like bananas. On the initial taste, I realize the other reviewers were pretty spot-on so good job BA community. Once I got past the rubbing alcohol burn, I noticed some citrus. In fact, reminded me of the weird aftertaste left by citrus gum. I did detect some malt and the thickness was fairly impressive, allowing this to stick around on the roof of the mouth.
This the type of craft beer that non-craft beer drinkers might be able to tolerate as it is pretty nondescript. Forking over $2.99 for a DIPA, you really do get what you pay for.

Drainpour (well, not literally: I'm saving it for use in baking and booking. but even that I'm not totally sure about.)
This stuff is just dreadful. I can't even speak well to the mouhtfeel, since I hate having it in my mouth: it tastes distinctly of rotten vegetables. No hops in evidence. If others hadn't also panned it, I'd assumed I got a rotten batch.
Hideous. Awful. Terrible.
And at that, a disappointment from Trader Joe's ($2.29) since they don't normally carry true ratpiss like this.

E-mails also went out from U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., and Congressman Paul Hodes, D-N.H., who is also running for the U.S. Senate.
Mark Bergman, a spokesman for the Hodes campaign, said they have been working closely with Coakley's campaign in the close race.
"It's an important race, and not just for Massachusetts. It's an important race for middle class families across the country to make sure we are able to pass health reform," he said. "That's the priority for Paul, and we're going to be doing everything we can to help Martha Coakley win this race."
Lenore Patton, chairwoman of the Rockingham County Democratic Committee, and her husband Gary, both of Hampton, have been making phone calls to Massachusetts voters for Coakley's campaign. She also has been alerting local activists.
"I have been spreading the word among the Democrats in the county that Martha needs our help," Lenore Patton said, "and passing on information from other sources telling them how to connect with their campaign."
Gary Patton said the cause has "caught on like wildfire" among New Hampshire Democrats.
"It would be shameful if Brown won Kennedy's seat and then stopped health care reform, which he has already promised he would do," Lenore Patton said. "That would be a disgrace."
The Republican Party of New Hampshire urged Republicans to get involved in the race via e-mail. The party's spokesman did not return calls for comment yesterday, nor did the Brown campaign.
New Hampshire Republican Senate candidate William Binnie appeared in a campaign ad paid for by Americans for Responsible Health Care that starting airing in the Boston media market last week. The ad campaign cost more than $200,000, according to a press release from the group.

A friend brought a bottle of this over the other night when we were hanging out. Poured into a pint glass. Pours a clear golden with a large white head on top. Nice herbal aroma - grass, honeysuckle, Belgian yeast, some faint citrus. Crisp lively mouth, with moderate to high carbonation.
Nice melding of the styles here as there is plenty of Belgian yeast character to keep that crowd happy, but it carries a nice hop profile that imparts a pleasant bitter snap, albeit on the milder side. This for sure isn't a hop-head's IPA, but it's not claiming to be. Rather than being an IPA that has some Belgian character, this is much more Belgian forward with just a touch of hoppy goodness. Mild fruit noted with lemon zest making some presence, faintly spiced on the finish.
Admittedly, this isn't one of my go-to styles, but this one was really well-made and quite tasty. If ever in the rare mood for a Belgian IPA, this'll be the one I reach for.

A: Golden, apple juice-like-hue with a large, sudsy off-white head and decent lacing
S: Apples, pears, cloves, and coriander from the yeast and pineapple, citrus, grass from the hops; a touch of alcohol burn at the back of the nose too
T: A nicely balanced marriage of tropical flavored west coast hops and fruity, spicy Belgian yeast all on top of some slightly bready malts
F: Fairly cream, medium body
O: A nicely done Belgian IPA; I love the way the hops blend with the yeast and just enough malty breadiness at the base

A- beer pours a nice darker golden color with a nice white head that does not fade fast. Looks like your typical IPA with a hazy appearance.
S-smell is blissful! It's got that west coast ipa smell of grapefruit, pine, some orange, and I get a pleasant scent of pineapple. The unique part about this beer is the Belgian yeast smell that you would get from a Belgian trippel. It has that banana zest that I really appreciate in a Belgian ale with the west coast IPA tartness.
T- awesome flavor! It has the bitterness of the Stone IPA along with its quintessential pine, orange, grapefruit and that pineapple that follows the nose IMO. The end has that sweet spicy Belgian yeast flavor that I know and love that really makes this beer stand out from the rest.
O- great beer it's a unique hybrid that stands in a class of its own. It has the standard west coast IPA flavor that Stone does damn well. Then they throw in the Belgian yeast that seriously puts this beer in an awesome spot in my book. I think this beer can appeal to both the IPA drinker and the Belgian ale drinker. I'm more of a Belgian guy myself and this beer is super refreshing to me for the warmer California months I know and love.

Brilliantly clear, deep golden color. Pours a nice sized white head, creamy and with good retention.
Solventy pepper aroma. Almost medicinal in a cough syrup kind of sense. Belgian aromas dominate any hop aromas for me.
Slightly sweet phenolic character at start, again a bit medicinal. Nice peppery spiciness, and some piney hop flavors. Finishes with an assertive hop bitterness still coated with a peppery Belgian character.
MF - Medium body and carbonation, no astringency, minimal alcohol warming.
Overall - The merging of styles detracted rather than enhanced it for me. Some of the aroma and flavor character struck me as unpleasant. I'd take a conventionally made Stone IPA over this one.

26 days old (bottled 03/01) - calculated by subtacting 120 days from exp. date of 6/29/2013 (according to Stone's website).
A: Copper color. Clear. Small head.
S: Sweet spices dominate: clove, pepper. I actually don't sense the usual hop flavors: citrus or pine. Bubble gum.
T: Some sugary sweetness.Bready maltiness. Slight acidic tang.
M: Medium-light, definitely on the light side of the style.
O: I would classify this as a Belgian Pale Ale more than an IPA because I don't sense much hop aroma or flavor. Nothing offensive about it, just not crazy about the flavors.

Thank you. I did contact support through the link on their homepage. If there was a better way to reach Michael please let me know.
Hi Ashraf. No, I did not try to contact him since he did reply here but didn't ask for any further information. Since both of us had the same problem with very large collections, I just assumed the program was not meant for my type files. It did fine until it reached that magic 70,000 and then just failed. I do have Windows 8 on a less than 1 year old Dell computer with Intel processor and 8 G memory. I haven't had any proiblems with any other software I have tried.
Thank you for all your great offers. I appreciate all your work in bringing them to us. :)
@Nobug thank you of your comment. We're running a long term summer promo on our site which will end soon. The regular price for WinCatalog is $49.95 per a license and the discount has been calculated based on the regular price.
Michael…thank you for getting back to me The time wasn't an issue until it failed. I did try the other program but it doesn't do what I need while yours appeared to be just what I was needing. :( I am disappointed it didn't appear that it work for me. I removed the program but may re-install and try one more time tomorrow before giving up.
[@M] During scanning a drive WinCatalog tries to grab as many information about files as it can, but grabbing every piece of information requires it's own time. That is why WinCatalog may work slower, but as a compensation keeps, for example, thumbnails for regular pictures and RAW files, media info for video files (including thumbnails), CRC32/MD5 checksums calculation, and more. Furthermore, you can always speed up WinCatalog by disabling unnecessary processing options.
[@Linda H] Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately it is very hard to tell why WinCatalog fails on your computer without knowing more details. If you're still interesting in following this issue please contact our support to continue.
[@Linda H] You can always look at Easy Disk Catalog Maker. It is $19.95 with Lifetime updates and it is very fast at scanning.
[@Linda H]
The program said I had 9 disks to go of my free trial. All of these were on my main drive.
I did download the test version. I have a Windows 8 Dell laptop. I do have LARGE collections. I tried to sort through my craft files (where I have scanned all my patterns to my computer over the year along with thousands of free ones throughout the internet). My files contained roughly 120,000 different patterns in many individual folders.. It did fine until it reached about 70,000 (and that took nearly 2 hours) but then it just died and windows gave the little pop up that it quit working.
All of these were on one disk and it said I had 9 more disks to go. Actually, they were in one main folder with multible sub folders.
I did delete it because I had lost a of time. I had hoped to use it to catalog my photos, recipes, craft files and music files but it may only work with smaller collections.
Any idea why it failed?
[@Tortuga] 1) Unfortunately we did not test WinCatalog with PortableApps suite so I cannot tell you how they will work together; 2) Yes, sure. Buying a license for WinCatalog you're getting an unlimited number of activations and installations.
[@jebbrown] you can download WinCatalog for free, test it by yourself and make your own opinion. The evaluation version is fully functional – the only one limitation – you cannot add more that 10 disks per a collection file while it is in trial mode. All other features are on. By the way, the offer has been prolonged for a week, so it will be live until October 16th.
[@Rufus] WinCatalog was not developed as a portable app, but since it was written in C++ and does not use any third-party libraries and frameworks (like .NET) it does not require any installation – one should just run .exe file to work with the program. However there is one issue with the portability: WinCatalog keeps all settings in the Windows Registry so it will ask you for a reg.key on every new computer.
Once again, in short: WinCatalog can work as a portable app but it will ask for a reg.key on every new computer when you run it for the first time.

text: Researchers explore atmospheric history with giant insects Science 01 November 10 by Duncan Geere Tweet CC-licensed: Ana_Cotta Researchers at Arizona State University have been conducting experiments to test how oxygen-enriched atmospheres affect evolution, creating giant dragonflies and tiny cockroaches in the process.In fossil record, there's evidence of enormous insects with wingspans of up to 70 centimetres. The explanation usually given for such creatures is that the Earth's oxygen levels were considerably higher in the past. It's believed that at some points in history, oxygen accounted for as much as 31 percent of the atmosphere, compared to around 21 percent today. It's plunged as low as 12 percent at points, too.A team led by John VandenBrooks wanted to explore this phenomenon a little more closely, to try and find out exactly how it worked. They raised cockroaches, dragonflies, grasshoppers, meal worms, beetles and other insects in atmospheres containing different amounts of oxygen, to try and ascertain the effects on reproduction.As expected, the dragonflies grew much faster into bigger adults in atmospheres with more oxygen present. It wasn't easy to raise them -- when juvenile, dragonflies need to hunt live prey, so a pair of undergraduate students were recruited to hand feed them every day. "We are one of the only groups to successfully rear them to adulthood under laboratory conditions," said VandenBrooks.A decrease in insect size at lower oxygen levels was replicated in ten of the twelve different species studied by the scientists. However, when it came to the cockroaches, the bugs in higher concentrations of oxygen surprised the team by taking almost twice as long to develop. "It is the exact opposite of what we expected," said VandenBrooks.The researchers then took a closer look at the cockroaches' breathing apparatus to try and find out more, using an x-ray synchrontron. They found that the breathing tubes of cockroaches raised in a high oxygen environment were smaller than the tubes of those raised in a low oxygen atmosphere.As a result, when combined with the lack of an increase in overall body size, it appears that the roaches in high oxygen environments are able to invest more energy in developing their eating or reproductive organs, rather than their breathing apparatus. With that knowledge, the team next plans to examine the breathing tubes of cockroaches found in amber to try and see if they match up with what we know of oxygen levels at that time in Earth's history. If there's a strong correlation, then it could be possible to learn more about the Earth's atmospheric history by studying insect breathing tubes.

Brush up on your rules before making a comment which you are totally wrong. It was no BS call it was the right call. The Leafs made a pass from thier own zone and when Kadri recieved the pass he was alredy accross the Habs blue line therefore putting himself offside. There was no intentional offside just offside. Since the pass came from within the Leafs zone the face off takes place from where the pass came from. This was the correct call. You should read your rules next time before you make a BS call. To you from failing hands we throw the torch, be yours to hold it high.

The Costa de Lisboa/Lisbon region
Quinta da Marinha insertes in Cascais – Sintra Natural Reserve Park.
Between city and nature, the beach and the mountains, the Quinta da Marinha Resort - located in the excellent area of Cascais / Sintra, a mere 25 km from Lisbon - is the perfect setting to feel like all your wishes always come true. One of the finest Resorts in Portugal you can discover.
The history of Quinta da Marinha dates back to the 19th century. However the philosophy that accompanies time, even today it is guided by the same rules, along the 20 years of the last century, with the purchase of Quinta da Marinha to the count of Moser by Carlos Montez Champalimaud, surgeon and entrepreneur.
With a large and bold vision of the future, Carlos Montez Champalimaud previewed the high urban potential of that area, although still inhospitable territory at the time, gritty and almost deserted.
For more than 80 years, and at the same time as the beginning of the entire infrastructure, the fixing of the dunes and the conservation and afforestation of its entire area, transforming what was inhospitable and almost deserted, as a place well known for its scenic features.
The first part of the property to be developed, in the early 80's, was Guia, located in the Southeast of the fifth, and that includes, at present, an 18-hole golf course-designed by Robert Trent Jones, a Hotel, a residential area and a tourist village where your villa in included.
Guiding in all projects by high standards of quality and urban planning, defined by his grandfather and father, their descendants remain faithful to his memory, impersonating the dreams of those who idealized the Quinta da Marinha's future where living with quality is something that is not to be confused with luxury.
It has been one of the most famous seaside resorts of Europe to spend summer and rediscover the pleasure of visiting this old fishermen's village, where in 1870 the Citadel accommodated Royalty and the court had summer palaces and Manor houses to relax and enjoy at the seaside promenade.
The Atlantic resorts of Estoril and Cascais - which along with nearby Sintra make up Portugal's so-called 'Golden Triangle' is an excellent base for visitors to Portugal.
Within easy reach of the capital, Lisbon by train from Cais-do-Sodre station both Estoril and Cascais, (less than 30 minutes apart on foot) has long been the preferred getaway of rich Lisboetas and wealthy European visitors.
Known as a haunt of international spies in World War II and later hideaway of various pretenders to European thrones, Estoril is now a palm-fringed, pastel playground of the well-off and well connected, drawn by a winning combination of Europe's largest casino, a range of first-class hotels and some superb golf courses. Praia de Tamariz is the lovely beach at the centre of the town, with showers an ocean swimming pool and a number of good bars for a sun-downer along the promenade one hour walk from Cascais to S. João do Estoril, where you can jog, do a yoga class, cycle or just lazy on one of the many lounge sidewalk cafés.
Estoril plays host to the Estoril open tennis tournament in April - an important clay-court warm-up for the French open and the Estoril Golf course has held the PGA Portuguese open. Throughout other nearby golf courses you can find the Quinta da Marinha, Penha Longa, Quinta da Beloura, Belas Clube de Campo or the Tróia Golf course.
More vibrant, younger and less exclusive than nearby Estoril, Cascais is famed for its traditional black and white calçada wave-patterned pavements, fine seafood restaurants and lively seafront street cafes. The main bar and restaurant strip is centered on the pedestrian Rua Frederico Arouca and the more raucous Largo Luis de Camoes. There's a colorful market every Wednesday on Rua do Mercado, an early morning fish market between Praia da Ribeira and Praia da Rainha.
The Parque Marechal Carmona is a pleasant open space containing the nineteenth century stately home of Irishman Jorge O'Neill - the Museu Condes de Castro Guimarães. Also worth a visit is the Museu do Mar (sea museum) which charts the area's connections with the sea.
The area's main beaches lie between Estoril and Cascais or you can trek out to wind surfers' paradise at Praia do Guincho - a large but unshadow and somewhat dramatic stretch of fine beach 6km west of Cascais, which has played host to the World Surfing Championships. Cascais big bash is the Festas do Mar in August with a procession of colorful fishing boats. There's a jazz festival in July, the Cooljazz Festival and summer fireworks on Saturday evenings.

Healthy Dogs
Soft Tissue Sarcomas in Dogs
Sarcomas are malignant tumors that arise from various sources, including connective tissue, fat, blood vessels, nerve sheaths, and muscle cells. Collectively they account for about 15 percent of all cancers in dogs. There is a genetic disposition among German Shepherd Dogs, Boxers, Saint Bernards, Basset Hounds, Great Danes, and Golden Retrievers.
Sarcomas occur on the surface of the body and within organs. They tend to grow slowly and metastasize only when they have been present for some time. Metastases usually involve the lungs and liver. Some sarcomas are well defined and appear to be encapsulated; others infiltrate the surrounding tissue and have no distinct margins. Sarcomas within body cavities often grow to a large size before being discovered.

Routine Vaccinations for Puppies and Dogs
Lucky for us, there are vaccines to help prevent many illnesses that affect dogs. Vaccinating your dog has long been considered one of the easiest ways to help him live a long, healthy life. Not only are there different vaccines for different diseases, there are different types and combinations of vaccines. Although vaccination has the potential to protect pets against life-threatening diseases, vaccination is not without its risks. Recently, there has been some controversy regarding the duration...
Read the Routine Vaccinations for Puppies and Dogs article > >
Soft tissue sarcoma is diagnosed using X-rays, ultrasonography, CT scan, and tissue biopsy.
The most common sarcomas found in dogs are:
- Hemangiopericytoma, arising from cells surrounding small arteries
- Fibrosarcoma, arising from fibrous connective tissue
- Hemangiosarcoma, arising from cells that make up the lining of small blood vessels
- Schwannoma, a tumor of nerve sheaths
- Osteosarcoma, a tumor of bones
- Lymphoma, arising in lymph nodes and in organs that contain lymphoid tissue, such as the spleen, liver, and bone marrow
Treatment: The World Health Organization has established a staging system for canine soft tissue sarcomas similar to that described for mast cell tumors. Depending on the type of sarcoma and the extent of local involvement, treatment may involve surgical excision with a margin of normal tissue, radiation therapy, hyperthermia, and chemotherapy. A specific treatment plan often uses a combination of therapies. The prognosis depends on the stage of the tumor at the time of treatment.
Lymphoma (Lymphosarcoma)
Lymphoma, also called lymphosarcoma, is a type of cancer that arises (often simultaneously) in lymph nodes and in organs that contain lymphoid tissue such as the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. The disease affects middle-aged and older dogs. It should be suspected when enlarged lymph nodes are found in the groin, armpit, neck, or chest. Affected dogs appear lethargic, eat poorly, and lose weight. The liver and spleen are often enlarged.
Chest involvement results in pleural effusion and severe shortness of breath. Skin involvement produces itchy patches or nodules on the surface of the skin that mimic other skin diseases. Intestinal involvement causes vomiting and diarrhea.
A complete blood count may show anemia and immature white blood cells. The serum calcium is elevated in 20 percent of dogs with lymphoma. Blood and liver function tests are usually abnormal. A bone marrow biopsy is helpful in determining if the disease is widespread.
Chest and abdominal X-rays and ultrasonography are particularly valuable in identifying enlarged lymph nodes, organs, and masses. A diagnosis can also be made by fine needle aspiration of an enlarged lymph node. In questionable cases, the entire lymph node should be removed for more complete evaluation.

When I was 11, I won 50 pounds in a competition for writing this program that made sound on a ZX81. You couldn't make sound on a ZX81, but I played around with machine code and found some codes that retuned the TV signal so that it made this really weird noise when you turned the volume up.Dude, YES.
By displaying changing patterns of color on the monitor (in the case of the Spectrum, as with many early personal computers, the display monitor was a television), the natural hum from the cathode ray tube was modulated, producing a semblance of melody.

Former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Rep. Newt Gingrich (R-GA) addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington on Saturday, telling the assembled crowd that attacking President Barack Obama can't be the sole basis of its policies, while taking several vicious pot-shots at the president along the way.
Huffington Post reported that Gingrich sarcastically "defended" Pres. Obama's decision to travel to Florida this week as Russian forces amass and prepare to potentially invade Crimea.
Obama, said Gingrich, "can be as ineffective in Key Largo as he was in the White House."
He went on to lambaste Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as an extension of her ex-president husband.
"If we spend the next three years being primarily anti-Hillary, we will virtually guarantee her election as the first Democrat in almost 70 years to hold the White House for a third term," he said as the CPAC audience guffawed.
Gingrich, long known — and some would say erroneously known — as the Republicans' "idea man" said that the GOP needs fresh ideas to draw in young voters.
"If this is a fight between the future and not the past, and we truly represent for the average American a better future and they truly represent for the average American those forces blocking that future, we will win decisively, and we will govern for two generations," Gingrich said.

Standards in the Classroom: How Teachers and Students Negotiate Learning
In this timely volume, John Kordalewski explores how standards are negotiated and created within classrooms. Appreciating the current emphasis on and popularity of standards, Kordalewski addresses how they actually play out in classrooms from the point of view of students and teachers. He artfully traces the experience of students and teachers in an urban high school who wrestle with curricula designed to expand their achievement. The result is a fascinating portrait that shows how students and teachers collaborate and create standards.

At least the left and the Islamists seem to have fallen out.
Tunisia, Egypt, Turkey….. the left and the Islamists are fighting each other.
It is good to see our enemies so divided.
Well at least your head moron won't get a third term. We're not so lucky this side of the pond. They can come back as often as they fool the sheeple who vote for them. Which seems to be all of the time.
Free speech is about the state dictating what is or is not acceptable, it is not about free people freely expressing contempt for contemptible behaviour.
Refusal to finance a platform for thugs to spew their venomous bile does not constitute censorship.
Financing a platform constitutes support.

Keak Da Sneak - N Fronta Yo Momma House
Artist: Keak Da Sneak
Album: TBA (11.6.07)
Avg Rating: 2.9 ( 19 total votes )
Those who remember E-40's spring 2006 hit, Tell Me When To Go, might remember Keak da Sneak on the second verse. For those who forgot, not to worry, he brings back his unique style in the new solo single, N Fronta Yo Momma House. Although he follows the hyphy tradition of scatterbrained lyrics, his own raspy-voice makes him stand out among the crowd. While the production sounds more G-funk than hyphy (a la Dre & Snoop's Nuthin' But A G Thang), the combination should give this single massive popularity all over the West Coast (and a little airplay nationwide as well?).

Napster co-founder Sean Parker ties the knot
BIG SUR, Calif. (AP) - A spokesman for former Facebook president and Napster co-founder Sean Parker says the wealthy Web entrepreneur has married singer-songwriter Alexandra Lenas.
Matthew Hiltzik says the couple wed Saturday evening in front of 300 family members and friends at the swanky Ventana Inn & Spa in Big Sur. He says the couple's daughter, Winter, participated in the ceremony.
Parker helped start the music-sharing site Napster and was an early Facebook adviser who served as its first president. He was portrayed by Justin Timberlake in the movie "The Social Network."
Forbes estimates the 33-year-old's net worth at $2 billion.

A homeschool dad reviews WriteShop Primary: "WriteShop is a complete writing program that actually begins with younger students - as young as kindergarten... It's flexible, it's easy to use ... an innovative approach!"
WriteShop breaks the writing process into manageable chunks and throws in fun activities and crafts. This in my opinion is a recipe for success! The proof for me was hearing both boys enthusiastically say that WriteShop is one of their favourite parts of school! {Review: Book B}
StoryBuilders are meant to be a springboard for creative stories when your child has difficulty coming up with something new. What I love most is that they will broaden Ella's vocabulary.

My daughter loves WriteShop Junior Book D and has consistently ASKED for her lessons (this is always a huge bonus to have children motivated to do their work)

Review of WriteShop Primary Book B - I am very impressed with this product
I love this program! All the components of the program have been expertly designed to help both teacher and student easily learn the art of writing at an early age without much pressure. That has been the wonderful part ... no pressure! {Review: WriteShop Primary Book C}
We got the chance to try out Write Shop Primary Book A and, y'all, it's awesome! Write Shop teaches writing very gently and with a lot of great activities. There are crafts and stories and projects to make the writing seem less like work and more like we were creating something fun together.
One of the things that has really endeared this program to our family and our literature-leaning Charlotte Mason ways is the inclusion of great stories. {Our Homeschool Studio reviews WriteShop Primary Book C}

Cool story grandpa. You played some shitty game with shitty physics so all games must have bad physics. You used IM instead of voice and video chat so the only form of online communication must be through text. You played some shitty game at a low level so hand eye coordination and reflexes don't matter in any game. You didn't make any friends playing online that you keep in contact with and meet in real life so no one must be able to.

They were quite dedicated
In 1944, Lt. Hiroo Onoda was sent by the Japanese army to the remote Philippine island of Lubang. His mission was to conduct guerrilla warfare during World War II. Unfortunately, he was never officially told the war had ended; so for 29 years, Onoda continued to live in the jungle, ready for when his country would again need his services and information. Eating coconuts and bananas and deftly evading searching parties he believed were enemy scouts, Onoda hid in the jungle until he finally emerged from the dark recesses of the island on March 19, 1972.
Just a prototype for development (41 comments)
It is just a prototype for internal development. It isn't meant to be competition with the Rift. It is what they imagine the Rift and other VR headsets becoming.
Re:Prison == New Free Cinema? (186 comments)
Well you have to look at what the goal of having someone in prison is. Is it just to punish them, or is it to fix them?

There are some good info graphics on actual data here. PC has 51% of the playtime marketshare and consoles only have 30%.

I agree the shutdown should be easier, but it isn't as hard as you make it out to be.
1. Move mouse to bottom right corner and the menu appears
2. Click Settings
3. Click Power
4. Click Shut Down
There is a way to make a shut down shortcut on your start screen but it is complicated. You should just be able to right click the power button and add it.. really it should be there by default.
