Clinical Trials
Clinical Trials: The Phases of Drug Testing and Approval
Discovering and developing new medicines is a long, complex, and costly process, but biopharmaceutical researchers devote their careers to this often frustrating but tremendously gratifying task. The research and development (R&D) process is the road to new medicines—and more often than not it entails many turns, stops, and starts. Substantial progress typically occurs in increments over time, as advances build on each other.
Drug Discovery
The first step in developing a new medicine is to understand the disease or condition as thoroughly as possible. The entire biomedical research community contributes to this body of knowledge. In the United States, we are fortunate to have a have a dynamic, collaborative research ecosystem that includes researchers from government, industry and academia.
Basic research provides clues about how to treat diseases and potential ways to target the symptoms or underlying causes. Armed with an idea, researchers work to understand biological targets for a potential medicine. A drug target can be a protein, RNA, DNA or other molecule that is somehow involved in the disease. The investigators conduct studies in cells, tissues and animal models to determine whether the target can be influenced by a medicine. Then researchers look for a lead compound—a promising molecule that could influence the target and, potentially, become a medicine.
Preclinical Testing
The drug discovery phase whittles down thousands of compounds to a few hundred promising possibilities that are ready for preclinical testing. In this stage, scientists conduct laboratory and animal studies to determine whether a compound is suitable for human testing. At the end of this process, which can take several years, approximately five compounds move to the next stage, clinical trials in humans. Before beginning a clinical trial, the pharmaceutical research company files an Investigational New Drug Application with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Clinical Trials
During this stage, a compound is tested in human volunteers. The clinical trials process occurs in several phases and takes on average six to seven years. A potential medicine must successfully complete all of the phases before being submitted to the FDA for review.
Because this process involves both benefits and risks, companies take great care to protect the safety of trial participants and to ensure that they are thoroughly informed about the trial and its potential risks and can give their informed consent to participate, as required by federal regulations. Companies also ensure that the trials are conducted correctly and with integrity, including that the clinical trial results are disclosed at the appropriate time.
The study design and the informed consent are reviewed, approved and monitored by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). The IRB is made up of physicians, researchers, and members of the community. Its role is to make sure that the study is ethical and the rights and welfare of participants are protected. This includes making sure that research risks are minimized and are reasonable in relation any potential benefits.
Following is a general description of the three primary phases of clinical research:
- Phase 1 trials test a compound in a small group (e.g., 20 to 100) of healthy volunteers to determine the safety of the compound.
- Phase 2 trials test the compound in a somewhat larger group (e.g., 100 to 500) of volunteers who have the disease or condition the compound is designed to treat. Phase 2 trials determine effectiveness of the compound, examine possible short-term side effects and risks, and identify optimal dose and schedule.
- Phase 3 trials test the compound in a much larger group (e.g., 1,000 to 5,000) of participants to generate statistically significant information about safety and efficacy and to determine the overall benefit-risk ratio.
PhRMA members have had a longstanding commitment to sponsoring clinical research that fully complies with all legal and regulatory requirements as well as international agreements. In addition, PhRMA has set out voluntary principles to fortify member companies' commitment to the highest standards for ethics and transparency in the conduct of clinical trials. PhRMA's Principles on Conduct of Clinical Trials and Communication of Clinical Trial Results are designed to help ensure that clinical research conducted by America's pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies continues to be carefully conducted, and that meaningful medical research results are communicated to healthcare professionals and patients.
FDA Review and Approval
If the results of all three clinical trials phases indicate that the compound is safe and effective, the company submits a New Drug Application or Biologics License Application to the FDA. This application, which includes reams of data from all stages of testing, is a request for FDA approval to market the new medicine.
Scientists at the FDA carefully review all the data from all of the studies on the compound and, after weighing the benefits and risks of the potential medicine, decide whether to grant approval. Occasionally, the FDA will ask for additional research before granting approval or convene an independent expert panel to consider data presented by the FDA and the company. The panel will then advise the agency on whether to approve the application and under what conditions.
Approved medicines may be used by millions of people or a small, specific population. Medicines often are in the marketplace for many years. As a result, manufacturing facilities must be carefully planned so that medicines can be consistently and efficiently produced.
Manufacturing facilities must be constructed to the highest standards to ensure that safety and quality are built into each step of the manufacturing process. Companies must adhere to FDA's Good Manufacturing Practices regulations, and they also must constantly update, overhaul, or even rebuild facilities when new medicines are approved as each new medicine is manufactured differently.
Post-Approval Research and Monitoring
Research on a new medicine does not end when the discovery and development phases are over and the product is on the market. On the contrary, companies conduct extensive post-approval research to monitor safety and long-term side effects in patients using the medicine. The FDA requires that companies monitor a medicine for as long as it stays on the market and submit periodic reports on safety issues. Companies must report any adverse events that occur from use of the medicine.
FDA sometimes requires companies to conduct phase 4 clinical trials, which evaluate long-term safety or effects in specific patient subgroups. Companies may conduct post-approval studies to assess the benefits of a medicine for different populations or in other disease areas. In some cases, they may also develop improved delivery systems or dosage forms.
This research phase is critical to improving researchers' and clinicians' understanding of a medicine's potential uses and its full benefits for health and quality of life. Continued research can show whether a medicine has a greater impact on an outcome when it is used earlier in a disease, in combination with other medicines, in different disease indications, or in combination with specific biomakers.

Comments about Paula Young Starlights Human Hair Extension:
I was surprised at the thin strip of hair. I went back on-line to look at the picture and description. It really was presented accurately. I just expected a thicker piece. I did end up using it but trimmed to my natural length and it worked to add thickness at my thinning crown. I actually cut the piece between combs to create two separate pieces. In my opinion this would not work well to extend length but O.K. to add more fullness to hair thinning at the crown.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I was surprised by how thin/sparse this piece is. When I went back to view website realized it was just as pictured and described. I purchased it to add some fullness to my thinning hair. I trimmed the length to match my own hair and actually cut it in half. Works fine for what I wanted. I clip it in two layers and pull my front and sides back with hair combs. It looks very natural and blends beautifully with my hair. I am really not sure if it would work well as a lengthening extension because of it's thinness.

You can't.
They think they're entitled to spot and you are going to deny them that. best i can advise is that you go over their logs and underline what they're doing wrong or what is putting you off having them in your team, but really try to make it not sound like an ultimatum or an offer; The last thing you want is to get them thinking "if i achieve x uptime/DPS/HPS then they have to let me in. the point is to make them realise what you expect from your raiders and how they don't measure up to it yet, and that you are required to be elitist, that it's your responsibility as the RL to make sure everyone there is cutting the mustard, if you bring someone who can't you failed in your duty to the those of the raid who can cut the mustard, becuase if you don't at best all it will breed is resentment, and at worst the team will haemorrhage members and neither of those are viable choices.
Quite frankly anyone using terms like "elitist" perjoratively really needs to get over their sense of entitlement.

|©Alexandra Avakian/Contact Press Images. This image is from the documentary film The War Photographers which accompanies the photography exhibit WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY.
By Alexandra Avakian
Fatimah and I met in the summer of 1994 while I was living in Gaza (Sept 1993-Dec 1995) and she was 15 years old.
She was one of seven siblings all sleeping in one room of a typical slapdash refugee house with a roof of unattached corrugated iron. It was in Shati Camp, about a mile from where I was living. Shati, (also known as Beach Camp) was at that time the most overpopulated spot on earth, with a staggering 100,000 people to a square kilometer.
When Fatimah took me upstairs to photograph her with her doves, I was struck by the symbolism the scene revealed, at a time where there was a peace agreement in place between Palestinians and Israelis (The Oslo Accords), but peace was already fraying. The swath of Shati Camp and its living conditions behind her, all the way down to the sea, provide Fatimah's context.
This photo was originally a "reject," meaning that the magazine I shot it for left it in a reject box without publishing it. However, as with many photos in my book, Windows of the Soul: My Journeys In The Muslim World (published by National Geographic Books), I held on to the photo because I believed in it, even though it was a "reject." Indeed when National Geographic magazine published my Gaza story in July 1996, "Fatimah and Her Dove" was the lead photo. The photo inspired many people and continues to be widely published and exhibited, including prominent presence in the original documentary film accompanying The Annenberg Space For Photography's version of the WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY photography exhibit.
Fatimah is everywhere and yet so hard to find: I wanted to learn how she was, hear the story of her life, photograph her again, and to give her my book in which she appears prominently. Some Gaza journalist friends had tried to look for her in the past and I asked them if they could look for her once again. None of them could find her, including the friend who initially introduced me to Fatimah.
After National Geographic Traveler sent me to photograph a story about Jerusalem for a 2012 issue, I took a few days in Gaza to try to find Fatimah.
Things are very different in Gaza now. There is basically one block that has relatively secure hotels. Where Gaza was run by the Israelis and then the Palestinian Authority, now it is under the control of Hamas.
Shati Camp had changed too, since 1994, but we searched for Fatimah methodically, alley by alley, stepping over open sewers and being swamped by delighted children. The locals helped us analyze the photo for clues, for landmarks.
Finally my driver, who was trained in security by the United Nations, told me I had to stop immediately. There was too much risk now of being snapped up by radical Salafists or others operating in Shati Camp. He said an arm could reach out in some alley and drag me into a room and nobody would ever find me. We left. But I will go back and find her next time, and soon.
WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath will show at the Annenberg Space for Photography through June 2, 2013. Learn more about Alexandra on her official website.

The group were a short-lived French outfit who were one of the shining jewels in the crown of the lovely label Les Disques Du Crepuscule during the early 80s – and were a real breath of fresh air in the post-punk years with their light and jazzy approach to the groove. As you'll hear in this set, Antena's style borrows a lot from the bossa, but also throws in some wonderful poppish touches – including jangly guitars recorded in a similar mode to some of the other French/European indie groups of the time, and a slight darkness in production that almost gives a Martin Hannett-like undercurrent to the whole set. The group's album Camino Del Sol has been lovingly reissued with a great set of notes, as well as a series of bonus tracks from an additional ep – making for a beautiful 14 track package that will really help you rediscover this nearly-lost group! Titles include "Sissexa", "To Climb The Cliff", "Camino Del Sol", "Bye Bye Papaye", "Noelle A Hawaii", "The Boy From Ipanema", "Seaside Weekend", "Frantz", and "Ingenuous". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Design and fashion are 2 topics that the Grupo Regina Hoteles never forget, that's why we have selected this interesting article about some options to make the best buys in Paris!
The areas of Abbesses and rue des Gardes have become a magnet for designers, offering a wide and original choice.Forget about quaint Nuns!
Montmartre is not only a picturesque basilica. The worldwide famous hill also welcomes boho Abbesses, and the upcoming area of Goutte-d'Or. Take a wise stroll into its best-kept secrets, and discover its workshops and concept-stores : you'll find incredible outfits. Let's start with one of the best boutiques : Spree , well tucked behind the Place des Abbesses, offers very original clothes, coupled with a selection of vintage furniture and a choice of accessories. A few steps away, you'll find and her Emmanuelle Zysman eclectic jewellery. On the fashionable rue Houdon, numerous workshps will attract your curiosity, including Les Filles à l'Anis, for a girly look. Men aren't forgotten at Omiz, displaying contemporary urbanwear for all genders.
If this is not enough, be brave and walk some more, down to the Goutte-d'Or area : the stroll will lead you from the Amélie Poulain side of Montmartre to the most cosmopolitan part of the city, fuelled with a wonderful energy. Between rue de la Goutte-d'or and rue Myrrha, you'll find the rue des Gardes, also called « Fashion street » since 2002 and the opening of numerous workshops. Sakina M'Sa (at n°6) was one of the first to open. She has a great talent for women's fashion. Dognin (at n°4) sells luxurious sadlery : two of its bags were bought by the famous Parisian fashion museum Galliera. Sylviane Nuffer (at n°6 bis) is dedicated to corsets. All the designers of this street offer high-quality and successful items : the rue des Gardes is a true laboratory of the latest Parisian trends.
Should you be able to afford a luxurious shopping or only willing to check the most beautiful window displays, Paris offers three areas dedicated to stylish fashion : the historical Faubourg-Saint-Honoré (where Paul Poiret had his couture house at the beginning of the XXth century), the adjoining Palais-Royal (where upmarket shops have opened recently), and Saint-Germain-des-Prés (which turned from a literary spot to a very desirable neighbourhood). Of course, start with the legendary Chanel couture house : it hasn't moved from its original settings on rue Cambon. From there, you just have to walk on Faubourg-Saint-Honoré and rue Saint-Honoré : exclusive labels fight for your attention. The unique Colette (the first true Parisian concept-store, opened in the Nineties) is at 213 and was renovated this summer. A few steps away you will find the Palais-Royal, a luxury piazza dedicated to the very best of fashion : alongside the historical galleries, you'll find Martin Margiela , Rick Owens, Marc Jacobs, and even the very Pope of vintage Didier Ludot (beware, it's not a thrift-store, but more a museum-like boutique with fantastic displays and high prices).

Welcome to our new website, which is finally here, albeit in a not totally finished format. Hopefully you'll agree it's a huge improvement and will bear with us while we catch up with all the technical tweaking needed to deliver the site we want, and we hope you'll find easier to use and more appealing.
The new design is just the beginning. We still need to port the forum to the new format and a new software platform. Not only will this bring the old forum up to date, it will also let all our users loose on the rest of the site, and we look forward to blog contributions and comments from you soon. There's a techy challenge involved though, so we'll probably need to get Chocolate Week out of the way first. Please not that while the old forum sits and waits for its upgrade, we're not accepting new registrations at the moment – we were just getting an uncontrollable amount of spam that the old 'Snitz' software just couldn't handle.
Another big upgrade is bringing the review section – the old 'Chocopaedia' – into the new WordPress platform. This is not such a big job, but it's still going to take some programming effort and data transfer. This is also going to take a little while, but we hope soon to a nice shiney new review section, along with new reviews and new reviewers, and we'll be recruiting new volunteers in the near future as well.
Please let us know any comments or thoughts about the site, and look out for more changes and improvements hopefully appearing fast and furiously!

Thanks again, Angelo! The original painting's dimensions are 36 x 72 inches. I invested around six months of time layering pattern on top of pattern with sign painters enamel to create all of that intricate detail.
Thanks for your kind comment, Lisa... and thanks too for promoting my work! Really appreciate it a lot!
Thanks so much, Ingz & Marko. It's a 3 x 6 foot (91.4 x 182.9 cm) painting... a lot of space to pack in a lot of detail.
Holy Cow! Thanks a million, Mikaela! With other temporary struggles now going on in my life, my ego really appreciates the timely pat on the back!
Oh WOW! This is breath-taking Wayne. I love the colors, it has a bit of an Asian feel to me and that horse....stunning work!
Hey RD, Thanks much for your kindness! Even though my recorded lineage is a combination of Irish, Scottish, Norwegian and German, I've always felt a strong pull towards many things Japanese. While I'm predictably a product of my American environment, I'm sure my mindset/visual aesthetic mirrors both my roots and my yearnings.
As it should Wayne. The wonderful thing about art; we get to explore all of the bits and pieces that make us who we are. And in the process we will surely learn more about ourselves.
This is just too much Wayne. Love the details, layers and your choice of colors. Impressive for a lack of a better work!
Thanks again, MATADATA! This is another piece from the suite of large scale high-detail paintings (like "Eeny Meany") that I'm glad I did at the time, but just don't have the fortitude to attempt anything like this again! ;-)
This is soooo beautiful Wayne, its quite wonderful and the colors are fabulous!
How did I spread the love?

TaLins, you make art that shares beauty with the world! Thank you for sharing your passion for life with me!
Wow, Bryan, I'm really flattered by your sentiments about my painting, especially considering what an ultra-talented painter you are! Thanks buddy!
Wayne, This is amazingly intricate and beautiful. I feel as if I'm seeing a person's life and love story. The details are exquisite.
This is TOO cool Wayne! PS Thanks for your suggestion to look into the 'old stuff' of artists you like :-)
Thanks MoArt! The last couple of days I've been going through the close to 600 pages of previously promoted work and noticed some interesting trends... often artists when they first join will post their best work, before they establish a network, not realizing that it may later get missed because we all tend to live in the present... also, we are ALL getting better at making art, because I believe we are all raising the bar for each other. I just find it fascinating and rewarding to see development and growth in my peers, and it helps me better appreciate the strides we are all making as a group and as individuals.
Bless you both, Jeremy & Sharon! Thanks so very much for posting your thoughtful sentiments about my work!
Thanks, Ivette! It's a very big painting that is now owned by a museum curator in NY. I really appreciate your kind comment much!
Wow, truly a labor of love. Took a peek at your studio shot, it must be a mesmerizing place to visit.
Wow! so much details in this beautiful piece Wayne! would have liked to enjoy it bigger, but I love what I see already :)
excellent work! I used to do enamels on copper many years ago; check out http://society6.com/texnotropio/Woman...
agon_Print to see one of them
Thanks soooo much, everybody! Finally, after a year, I posted an iPhone case and a t-shirt/hoodie design... so glad that ya'all like it! ;-)
That's sooo nice of you to say, Marisa! Thank you so very much for clicking on the "W" and visiting my pages to see art that you can't see any other way!
Bless you all for supporting my work... I've sold several large canvases of this piece lately, and I'm sure that your promotions are contributing to its visibility! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!
Bless you and THANKS, Christy, Dr. Tom, and Raven! Really appreciate you taking the time to check out my profile and your AWESOME support of my older work!!! ;-D
Big time THANKS to: Francoise, Retro Quotes, Vanya, Michael, Armine, José, Chi, Yasmina, Jon,°Jæn, Jazzberry, Anne, Karen, Max, and Nina! I'm truly grateful for your support and really lovely comments! Thanks again!
Thanks, Cynthia! I'd love to reciprocate your kindness, but I've already promoted all of your wonderful work!

Movement 4a: Sanctus
Movement 4b: Benedictus
Movement 5: Agnus Dei
Unlike most of the Mass-settings of the Continental polyphonists, Byrd's Masses are not based strictly on a single theme or other unifying material, but rather are freely composed. Many of the movements begin with a similar opening motif, or 'head motif', but then go their own way. The Mass for five voices represents something of a distillation of Byrd's Latin style. It is highly compact and closely argued. The practicalities of liturgical performance in Byrd's day dictated an economy of style and scale and suggested a restrained, rather than opulent, approach. The vocal texture, constantly varying in scoring, always enables the text to come across with great clarity and closely reflects, and also clarifies, its structure. For example, Byrd adjusts the scoring of each successive invocation of the Agnus Dei; first, three voices are used; then four; finally, all five. In the masterly Credo Byrd seems to place special emphasis on the phrase 'Et unam sanctam catholicam et apostolicam ecclesiam', which for the Catholic composer undoubtedly had particular resonance.

Demand response reduces overall energy usage, but the magnitude of the reduction depends on whether the technologies are developed and deployed with efficiency in mind.
Pricing Negawatts
DR design flaws create perverse incentives.
recovery scheme fully would recover the ARC's DR compensation from that LSE (see Figure 4) . Similarly, a second ARC DR payment would be recovered from a second LSE, etc. This analysis assumes a one-to-one correspondence between ARCs and LSEs only to simplify the explanation; actual ISO settlement systems can accommodate ARCs representing the customers of multiple LSEs.
Targeted recovery avoids the cross-subsidies and inefficient pricing distortions that accompany the socialized recovery of DR payments across multiple wholesale buyers. Socialized recovery also increases revenue uncertainty for the LSEs involved, and thus increases the risk premiums they need to charge their retail customers.
Another potential buyer of DR might be a coalition of retail customers on dynamic, wholesale market-based retail tariffs that want to use DR to lower wholesale market prices in order to reduce their electric bills. 12 During times when a significant surplus of generating capacity exists, over-stimulating DR in this manner would benefit these customers, but also would constitute the exercise of market power on the demand side. The immediate effect would be to deny generators a fair opportunity to recover fully their past investments and to discourage future investments in new supply resources, including renewables. In the longer term, capacity prices would have to increase, burdening future consumers who would also have to bear the inflated payments for DR. The primary result would be to transfer wealth from residential and small business customers to the large commercial and industrial customers selling the negawatt-hours. All these reasons argue for prohibiting the exercise of demand-side market power.
Implementing ARC Compensation
As discussed, a negawatt-hour of DR is a call option on energy, which economic value partly is determined by the wholesale market energy, i.e., the relevant LMP, and partly by the rates in the DR provider's retail tariff, i.e., its MFRR. This suggests a natural decomposition of ARC payments into two transactions that ISO settlement systems easily can accommodate using information provided from external sources regarding the relevant MFRRs.
The information needed to determine MFRRs necessarily will be complex and detailed because retail tariffs are complex and detailed. For this reason, MFRRs are best quantified at the retail level, then applied at the wholesale level. It's no coincidence that all FERC-jurisdictional ISOs and RTOs with economic DR programs have proposed settling their DR purchases using some variant of this two-transaction approach. 13
Ultimately, the adoption of smart meters combined with dynamic, cost-reflective retail tariffs will eliminate the disconnect between wholesale market rates and retail rates, obviating the need for economic DR programs. Meanwhile, the industry should avoid overpaying DR providers for their negawatt-hours.

I haven't found this to be true, but hey, it needed to be said. If/when the chain is loose, it's more of a "grinding feel" than a rattling sound.

Flat-panel TVs have opened the design floodgates wide open. Given their slim profiles and sexy aesthetic, they can go places where old console TVs never could. They can squeeze comfortably into tiny dens, hang safely away from grime and grease in garages and coexist peacefully with living room art collections. That wasn't the case, unfortunately, in this master bathroom. A huge vanity mirror, shower stall, bathtub and windows left no open horizontal surface on which to mount a flat-panel TV.
Wall space may have been in short demand in this narrow, galley-style bathroom, but the homeowners weren't nearly ready to throw in the towel. They had seen an "invisible mirror TV" during a recent hotel stay, and thought it would be the ideal solution to their dilemma. And since the bathroom was being completely renovated, anyway, installing the display behind a new mirror would be a piece of cake … right? The custom electronics pros (CE pros) at Audio Video Concepts, Columbia, Ill., thought so too, but the installation would be a bit more involved then simply slapping a TV to the wall and covering it with a pane of glass.
For starters, the TV would need to breathe, says AVC president Rob Roessler. In other words, there would need to be a way for the air behind the mirror to escape.
After the existing mirror was removed and the wall stripped to its studs, the AVC team framed in a 20-inch LG LCD TV and prewired it for eventual connection to a pair of Niles in-ceiling speakers and to a rack of source components stashed in a nearby closet. The team then hung a pretreated (see Mirror Images below) sheet of two-way glass over the TV, leaving a small gap at the top of the mirror so that plenty of air could circulate behind it.
This passive method of ventilation is usually adequate for small TVs, says Roessler, and precludes the expense of specialty ventilation equipment, which is often necessary for larger TVs and video projectors that have been recessed into walls and ceilings.
Also critical to the operation of a behind-the-mirror TV is the proper handheld remote control. Infrared signals are unable to pass through two-way glass, so a radio frequency (RF) clicker is the only way to go, says Roessler. The owners know commands from the URC MX-350 remote have been received when the TV, otherwise invisible, appears through the mirror. From there, the owners can tune in to news, sports or the weather. The RF signal travels just as easily through closet doors as it does through the two-way mirror.
Mirror Images
How do you get a TV to appear behind a mirror? The CE pros at Audio Video Concepts, Columbia, Ill., were willing to share some of their trade secrets.
—Many two-way mirrors have a blue tint. Avoid them. Spend the extra money for a sheet with no coloration. Images will look clearer and more vibrant.
—If the mirror will protrude from the wall slightly (for ventilation), paint the backside of the mirror black except for where the TV images will project. This will block any light from passing through the mirror, which would enable you to see through the glass to the wall—bad for both the use of the mirror and the TV.
—Buy a bright TV, or at least ask your CE pro to boost the brightness setting. Even then, don't expect images from a mirror TV to ever look as good as a TV that's uncovered, says Roessler.

[Goma ofu za Konpaku] - Seeds of the Soul
Rank: Forbidden
Type: Attack
Range: Short/Long
Chakra cost: 50 [+20 every turn, to keep the seeds active]
Damage Points: -
Description: The user takes a handful of seeds which are always with him and fuses their chakra with the seeds, changing the molecular structure of the seeds. Now the seeds are black colored and are thrown by the user on the ground, the seeds then fuse with the ground and travel to the opponent through it, no matter if the opponent changes his location, or not. The seeds when reached the prey jumps out of the ground and a spike comes out of every seed, which stabs into the opponents body. The needle-thin spikes easily stab through clothes and skin. As soon as the seed pierces the flesh, it begins to wiggle inside, sprouting roots as soon as it is able to tap into the flow of chakra from the victim (could take anywhere from one to six seconds). Once that is accomplished, the roots begin to spread on the inside of the victim's body like a virus, following the pattern of the chakra system until the roots of the other seeds touch. With that accomplished, roots burst from the victim's legs and shoot into the ground, effectively holding the victim in place, disallowing any movement if nothing is done. The process doesn't really deal any damage to the victim, but if the connection is broken when the roots successfully entered his body, he feels really strange as the roots are leaving his body and is exhausted for the following two turns, restraining him from moving much and using genjutsu or taijutsu. Since the roots in the opponents body is infused with the user's chakra, the user is able to enter/leave the victim's body when the seed roots successfully connect, using mayfly. This techniques is really fast and the seeds are small and hard to notice, though not unavoidable. The roots of the seeds can be cut, except the victim would have to cut deep in the skin in order to do so, it is the same if they use fire to destroy the roots, they would have to burn themselves as well.
~This can only be used once.
~The user can't use any elemental techniques the same turn he used this technique, though is able to use ninjutsu and taijutsu.
~The opponent can use chakra based attacks the first turn, but on the second turn he is unable to do so, because the roots blocks the chakra system.
~The user can't use any of Zetsu techniques the same turn using this and on the following turn. Only mayfly may be used the second turn.
~No genjutsu for two turns, because of the great chakra exhaustion.
~Can only be used by Zetsu.
~Declined, do not resubmit
[Teigo Hayashi] – Vine Entrapment
Rank: S
Type: Attack/Supplementary
Range: Short/Medium
Chakra cost: 45
Damage Points: -
Description: The user performs several handseals and vines will then begin to move and act quickly coming out of the ground, and within seconds, the vines will mould into a dome shaped about the size of the target trapped inside, leaving no gaps for light, or cracks for escape. The vines are placed tightly together and sealed so effectively that air and water cannot pass through any gaps. The vines bind the soil tightly and doesn't allow the opponent to use the earth under, thus leaving him without air to breathe.
~Can only be used twice.
~No elemental jutsu the same turn.
~No Zetsu techniques the following turn.
~Can only be used by Zetsu.
Rank: E
Range: Self, or other
Type: Supplementary
Chakra Cost: 5
Damage: N/A
Description: An interesting technique, called Rated R. It formulates, a variation of variations, condensing the whole spirit of perverted-ness, into a epic thought of conjunction. When that happens, when the user touches or if someone else touches this person, they will feel their utmost perverted thoughts in every way conceivable.
~Usable only once, but lasts for two turns.
~Faust can only teach this.
~Declined, do not resubmit
Type: Attack
Rank: S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
" It has lasted 200 years. The journey is at an end, the ultimate twin lances have been found. "
After performing a string of fifteen handseals, the user will create a human sized figure carrying two lances while riding on a horse, all made of water. The figure will rush at the opponent with all the speed and fury of a stampeding herd of bison, aiming to stab and crush the target. Should they put up an earth defense, the lancer will dissolve into its form of water, seep through any cracks in the defense ( most earth walls, unless they state otherwise in the description, have cracks running through them ) and will reform on the other side before continuing. Similarly, if there are no cracks, it will flow around the walls and reform before continuing its charge. Should the opponent be out of its range, i.e. underground or in the air, it will patiently wait on the battlefield until they come into range again.
[ May be cast only once per battle ]
[ Requires a large water source ]
[ No Suiton techniques for as long as it is in the battlefield ]
[ Co-created by Emperor ]
[ Before anyone else can be taught this technique, they must have the permission of both Faust and Emperor ]
~Declined~ remove the bolded part or place more restrictions on that part as just saying you can't use suiton jutsu's isn't really that big of a deal. A time restriction is essential and a restriction on the usage of higher rank jutsu's might work too. Also this is a suiton jutsu so why isn't that in the title?
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short/Long
Type: Attack/Defense/Supplementary
Chakra Cost: 50
Damage: N/A [The blade adds +20 to sword techniques.]
Description: Long ago a man named Ukyo was a mighty Kage, he was said to be so strong that the stars themselves shown extra hard on him, giving him immense power and strength, in battle he would charge in with his legendary Magma spear and Dagger Tail, and reduce his enemies to nothing but ash and cinders. The Dagger tale was said to a very unique and innovative weapons, a long chain that stretched a length of 40 feet it was comprised of link after link of powerful yet thing chain, across this chain were hundreds of what could only be called arrow-shaped blades. Ukyo was said to be the only man to ever wield this weapon, and thus he was the only one to have mastered it in his time, the art of this weapon was lost with his death as no one could see how the tool actually worked, many looked over records of how it was created but none could master the way of crafting it. One day in a spur of curiosity and boredom Faust, head of Kirigakure's research and development department picked up these books and took this as a challenge, a challenge to create this very versatile tool of death. Taking up the project him and his team began to work many hours on creating two copies of the original concept. Hitting wall after wall they struggled diligently. Finally after many months of works two of the weapon were created, they were not exactly like the original; but very similar none the less, not knowing how they crafted the weapons they had to craft if from the rare stone of Magridel, Oricalcum. The blade it's self had many strange features for it seemed to retract into the user's arm when such length is not needed, so that in the passive state, only 10 links can be seen embedded into their arm. While it does look like the user's arm is cut up by the chain, it doesn't actually harm them. The second notable feature is that withe the implantation of a special ore known as Zodiark Ore, the metal would bound with the users chakra pool and thus made it so the user could manipulate with their mind fairly easily, showing fluid and simple control and being able to bend in ways a normal chain shouldn't be able to. Due to the presences of Zokiark the user can focus on the Dagger Tail and it can be used with many different jutsus for added power and alternative effects.
~It's really a blade which is infused in user's hand and can be extended like a chain anyway the user wants. The blade has many edges on the sides, that can easily cut through flesh...
~It can be extended to mid/long range twice.
~No ninjutsu/genjutsu when using the blade.
~User takes 20 damage, since it's infused withing the hand.
~The blade is indestructible, though this doesn't mean it can destroy everything.
~Faust can only wield this.
~Declined~ a solid metal weapon of 12m is not going to dissapear into your arm. That you can make it extend/retract is fine, though not that way. Second if you mean with "manipulate with their mind" that you're going to say that you can actually move it with just by your mind and without your body moving it's a no go, not to mention it's a chain, those can be bend in a lot of ways as long as it's physically possible. As last I don't mind that you write such a history, however keep the history and the effects clearly separated from each other.

When we went back and published the French Traveler patterns from an old issue of burda style magazine, I knew I had to make the Illusion Neckline Dress! I love illusion necklines, and the photography for this pattern really drew me in. I have been holding on to this Liberty printed cotton from Britex Fabrics for a while now. I got it in San Fransisco with Jamie when we went there to promote the new book…I literally bought it 20 min before I left for the airport!
I wanted a simple design to showcase the printed fabric (it's a neon graphic of the Tokyo skyline). So I thought the Illusion Dress was perfect, since it had only only style line. I omitted the waist elastic casing an inseam pockets to reduce bulk. Next time I wear this dress I will probably belt it to give it better shape. To pair with the printed fabric I got a green silk chiffon from Mood Fabrics. I originally went there to buy a black sheer fabric, but I just loved how the green complemented the print. I bought pre-made white bias tape to bind the armhole, back key-hole and neckline edges. I really love how it turned out.
With the dress I am wearing a pair of leggings that I made from our Carol Leggings pattern. These leggings fit wonderfully! I love how this pattern doesn't have a side seam so it is so smooth to wear on the legs. These leggings are made in an iridescent metallic spandex I found at Spandex World (favorite place). I found the pattern to be a bit tall so I had to take off about 2" from the top, but overall I really like this pattern and will definitely be making more leggings…so stay tuned!

So to increase the effect of the trinket you do like a small miniburn with a few AB5-6s but you don't want to use it during an actual burnphase where you can stack it with other cds like AP and managem. Doesn't sound logical to me.
Lets assume the trinket use is a 10% damage buff nice round number.
70k dps burn (assume 67% efficiency on the trinket cause of the manalevel) + 4,7k from the trinket
32k dps during small miniburn (assume 100% efficiency which is a bit too optimistic) +3,2k from the trinket
but now you also loose some dps recovering your mana again
It just doesn't add up for me.

Oh careful if Blood is making you think about threat, I found Unholy to be nearly universally lower on threat than Blood.
I <3 <3 it though, as it can cause damage if you sink a point into the permanent pet (500+ DPS from the ghoul is nothing to ignore in a 10man raid), and it has an additional cooldown which can actually make a difference (neither Lichborne nor Mark of Blood are really "tank" cooldowns).
Just play with it for a bit, it's interesting. Biggest issue for me is trying to get some extra crit for Wandering Plague, since without some crit Unholy seems nearly the weakest spec on AoE (now that Unholy Blight is just single target).

Check out the current issue.
The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services' Division of Public Health has completed a health consultation for the CTS of Asheville, Inc. site (Former CTS of Asheville Mills Gap Road Site and CTS Plant Site) in Buncombe County.
The report is now available to the public at Pack Memorial Library, 67 Haywood Street in Asheville, NC and on-line at: http://epi.publichealth.nc.gov/oee/hace/by_site.html or
The CTS plant manufactured electronic components on the site from 1952 to 1986. The original 54-acre CTS property was sold and redeveloped, leaving a fenced 9-acre site.
Since November 2007, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has collected private well water samples in the area to determine if they have been contaminated by chemicals in the ground water moving away from the former CTS site.
Trichloroethylene is the main contaminant of concern at this site. There were no trichloroethylene detections in private drinking water wells during 2010 to 2011 sampling period.
This is the third health evaluation conducted by the DHHS Division of Public Health (DPH) to determine if the concentration of chemicals in the environment could cause adverse health effects. For this report, DPH analyzed more than 800 well water samples collected by EPA in 2010 and 2011. DPH also evaluated stream sediment and surface water samples collected during that period.
DPH staff has contacted residents that had any substances in their water that could cause adverse health effects. Anyone with elevated levels of contaminants has been advised to talk with their physicians.

Mozart: Wind Serenades
CDA66887 Archive Service
Movement 1: Allegro maestoso
Movement 2: Menuetto I
Movement 3: Adagio
Movement 4: Menuetto II
Movement 5: Allegro
In overall layout the serenade follows early Haydn examples: a slow movement framed by two minuets, the whole framed by two fast movements. A marching rhythm – a typical Mozart opening – begins the 'Allegro maestoso', but untypical elements soon appear, among them the lack of exposition repeat and the short, somewhat vague, development. Stranger still, the second subject is replaced in the recapitulation by a curious episode announced by horn solo. Mozart rarely did anything without good reason, but these departures from convention seem quite unreasonable. A magical quiet coda, however, makes amends.
The two minuets differ one from the other in style. The first opens with a strikingly ceremonial unison, the second with a smooth clarinet solo leading to playful episodes. Their respective trio sections also offer strong contrasts, that of Minuet I displaying a pleasing character with pulsating horns, while pulsating bassoons accompany a kind of country dance as a centrepiece of Minuet II. Between these minuets lies a seductive Adagio which in melody, harmony, and instrumental resource, holds a place amongst Mozart's finest inspirations. A high-spirited Rondo with virtuoso episodes closes the work. Mozart's sly wit delays the third statement of the rondo theme for so long that one wonders whether it will ever reappear.

Sometimes you have tasks that are just "due yesterday." It would be cool if I could easily choose "yesterday" as the due date in the same place where I choose "today" or "tomorrow."

Adding to this, it would be helpful (human/analog issues) if any task due one day ago would show "Yesterday" instead of the calendar date.

Technical Note: Do not adjust your monitors! This was filmed at my mom's home on a dark winter's day, so the lighting is not very good. Although, it is kind of fitting for the subject.
(recommended as a side dish)
1 egg
You should have added some crab. Kidding; it looks wonderful.
You used the Universal Leftover Redeemer : top with cheese!!! ;)
wish i could have an oven in my student apartment, anyway, you forgot the put the eggs on the ingredients list :D
I haven't yet found gluten-free big shells which would put this technique out of my reach, but I'm thinking the same thing with corn tortillas...a sort of enchilada things. Of course it would require green chile in the mixture but hey, I would have put it in the dip in the first place.
Question for you, Chef. Your posting on the dip recipe says you were planning to tweak it. Did you make changes for the version you did for the Super Bowl? I am thinking of doing this dip for a gathering this weekend and eyeing the leftover fat free sour cream in the fridge.
BTW: I shared your posting on the super bowl bones divination with this group, many of whom do divination of various sorts for real, and they all just howled. There was discussion of peanut shell divination for baseball season, etc.
actually I pretty much just used the recipe I have posted on the blog. To be honest I didnt measure anything for out party version as my mom had a few leftover cheeses. This dip is not an exact science. :-)
i LOVE the peanut shells idea!!
We've been talking about what amounts to this exact same dish on a food forum I frequent. But the context was re-using creamed spinach leftovers as opposed to dip. I'll also submit that instead of topping with more bechamel, it would taste great topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella. If you do it that way you've basically got manicotti, just with a different pasta shape. Yum!
I love artichokes in anything! Cool
Left-over spinach dip is great as a filling for bread dough. Just roll out the dough into a square, spread a thin layer of the dip, roll like a jelly roll. Cut a few vent holes on top, apply egg wash and bake at 350 for about 20 min until the dough is golden brown. It's really good!
I love your blog!

A Wine making process in which you bleed off or siphon some red wine juice after a short period of contact with the grape skins. The color of wine is derived from the color in the skins, so the juice is a pink color, rather than red. This process is how rosé wines are made.

Does your audio system need a little sprucing up? You may want to think about a speaker upgrade—or maybe just adding more speakers into your setup. That's fun too!
It's also very affordable, thanks to a current deal on Newegg. Right now, the online retailer is offering an instant $20 off a set of Pioneer's SP-BS21-LR bookshelf speakers. However, if you add the coupon code EMCNAJB226 during checkout, that will bring the price down to just $49.99. That's 50 percent off the list price of this pair, and even includes free shipping.
Featuring a curved cabinet and a crossover design, the SP-BS21-LR has a 1-inch soft dome tweeter for high frequencies and a 4-inch woofer. Other features include a frequency response of 65 Hz-20 kHz, 6 Ohms nominal impedance, and a sensitivity rating of 84dB. This speaker pair is perfect for 2-channel setups or as part of the larger system.
Speaking of which: If you need a little something extra for that larger audio setup, Newegg is also currently discounting the Pioneer SP-C21 center-channel speaker. This one is also priced at $49.99 with free shipping—if you use the coupon code EMCNAJB225 during checkout. This model boasts two woofers in a full-sized cabinet, as well as the same 1-inch soft dome tweeter and the same curved cabinet mentioned above. It's a perfect match for your bookshelf purchase!
Whether you order the center or the bookshelf set (or both!), make sure to use the above coupon codes to get the lowest price possible. And do it soon! According to Newegg, the coupons will expire on September 24, 2012, or whenever the retailer runs out of stock.

When Google announced the Google TV platform, and then Logitech followed shortly with the news of a stand-alone device, the Revue, for that platform, there were many people who thought we may be witnessing a paradigm-changing development in the internet-connected living room. Google has that effect on things.
That change is still happening, but largely without Google or Logitech. Less than one year ago, both the platform and the device were met by reviewers with lukewarm enthusiasm. Even my own experiences with the product were mixed, and I'm pretty forgiving. I really liked the concept, and some things about the interface, but overall the implementation was kludgy , and the device was expensive at $300.
Then came the January 2011 Consumer Electronics Show, and Google TV was a lot harder to find than originally expected.
Then this spring Logitech dropped the price from $300 to $200. Now, on the heals of some poor revenue performance and the resignation of the CEO, the Revue has been price-slashed again to $99.
At that price the Revue is now competitive with what I believe is its biggest rivals, Roku and AppleTV. Having spent a lot of time with both, I still find the Roku a superior product for most audio and video streaming (and the new one looks to be better yet). Revue has a few things the Roku lacks, like a keyboard and web browser, but it's not nearly as buggy and is very easy to use.
And still we're left with the question of where the smart TV or other internet-connected devices fit in the long run? Any television from the mid-level lines up comes with some form of online connectivity. Samsung appears to be leading the pack with its vast app marketplace, though LG, Toshiba, Sharp, Panasonic, Sony and Vizio all have healthy online options on many models. To make it even more complicated, more cable set-top-boxes are offering similar online options. Case-in-point: Verizon just announced that it is adding Pandora to select set-top-boxes for its FiOS customers (yay me).
So is the future of the smart living room going to be 25 different platforms all attempting to corral our attention with essentially the same core apps (Pandora, Netflix, weather, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Angry Birds…)? A typical home A/V system might contain six or more online devices (set-top-box, TV, Blu-ray player, game system, receiver, cable box) all capable of playing the same things . This makes it easy for a non-connected living room to upgrade—purchase just about anything and it will include Wi-Fi or an Ethernet jack. But it's got to be a nightmare for app developers as well as a huge bandwidth suck to have so many things plugged in (subject for another rant on another day).
I recently went into my router's menu and was surprised at how many items I saw connected to it (of course, as a product reviewer, my usage patterns are a little different from most people).
Anyway, back to my original question: is $99 a good deal for the Logitech Revue or should Logitech just move on?
