Here's a drip tray I added. Hangs off the front but velcro keeps it on perfect.
What happens if you let the unit work on it's own thermostat? Does it still not cool?
Does this fridge have a defroster built-in at all or is it purely manual defrost?
Did it cool down?

Injury prevention begins with acquiring a foundation of muscular endurance, strength and flexibility to support the body during any type of workout. It is important to exercise according to your fitness level and physical ability; don't let your desire to be fit move you to exercise longer and/or harder than you should. If you are not sure what is appropriate for you, it would be a great benefit to work with a certified personal trainer.
A proper warm up is essential to preparing the body for the stresses imposed on the body during the workout. The first 5 – 10 minutes of the workout should involve flowing, rhythmic movements at a sub maximal intensity (a mild aerobic intensity, but not the intensity you would achieve during the actual workout) that uses the entire body. An example would be to walk briskly while pumping the arms, or ride a stationary bike and, at the same time, take your arms through several movement patterns that involve multiple directions to get your shoulder, elbow and wrist joints limber. The first several minutes of an aerobic dance class can give you some ideas as to how to perform a proper warm up. If you are still not sure what to do, consult with a certified personal trainer.
A warm up does several things for the body in terms of injury prevention-
The warm up is as important as the workout itself. Many people bypass a proper warm up because of time constraints, however the overall workout will be much easier and enjoyable if the body is properly prepared. The warm up allows the body a gradual transition into the higher intensity requirements of the conditioning phase of the workout, thus minimizing premature fatigue.

Cooper Stadium 1932 - 2008
Cooper Stadium is a baseball stadium in Columbus, Ohio and was the home of the minor league Columbus Clippers from 1977 to 2008. Cooper Stadium has had several names over the years, including Red Bird Stadium, Jets Stadium and Franklin County Stadium, but in 1984 the stadium was renamed in honor of Harold Cooper, the county commissioner who was responsible for keeping baseball in Columbus in the 1950s.By WIKI

After news of the delay back in September, the folks at WB Games and Rocksteady have kept all things Batman: Arkham Knight close to the vest. Thankfully, they figured we could use another appetizer after their showing at E3, and this new gameplay footage makes the wait even harder to bare.
In the video, we get to see the early portions of the game where Batman must rescue hostages from an Ace Chemicals factory. With his Batmobile in tow, he easily breaks in and gets to work on dispensing justice, but he soon learns that the Arkham Knight (voiced by Troy Baker, of course) is calling the shots and will prove to be a worthy adversary.
It's best to go into this without too much description. The gameplay for the Batmobile looks very impressive and I'm glad we finally got a Batman game that does the vehicle justice.view full story + comments

[Update: Show's over folks! We'll have the rerun up later in the week. Here's the latest Sportsball strategy profile in the meantime.]
The new Smash Bros. is fantastic, but it's not the only 4-player arena-based competitive combat game on the Wii U right now. There's also Sportsball, one of Nintendo's "Nindies", a cross between BaraBariBall (Sportsfriends) and Joust. While I can't recommend it as a single player experience (yet), I can wholeheartedly endorse it with 3 or more players. If you're looking to take a quick break from hitting your friends so hard that they explode, you could do worse that riding a giant peacock and dunking on them instead.
Today on Sup Holmes we're going live with Auston Montville of Too DX, creators of Sportsball. We'll be talking about the game's Smash Bros. influence, what it's been like working with Nintendo, the struggles of independent development, and a lot more. We'll also be giving away codes for Sportsball and for Sunburn, the delightful outer space, suicide-by-sunfire game for iOS from former Sup Holmes guests. Tune in at 4pm EST for all of the fun. All of it.view full story + comments
[Sup Holmes is a weekly talk show for people that make great videogames. It airs live every Sunday at 4pm EST on Youtube, and can be found in Podcast form on Libsyn and iTunes.]
Last week on Sup Holmes, we did a lot of stuff. First off, we launched a contest for a signed CD by famed Mega Man composer Manami Mastumae. You can still enter if you want. Check out the show for details.
Fittingly enough, this week's guest was Mastumae-san's friend Dina Abou Karam, the community manager for Comcept (Mighty Number 9). Dina is my new definition of a hardcore gamer. Against all odds, her love of videogames has driven her down a life path that's been packed with unlikely and amazing events. From a little girl playing bootleg copies of JRPGs and gold farming in Final Fantasy VII to developing an autobiographical game about naked people in Japan and working for Mega Man cocreator Keiji Inafune, it's always been videogames for Dina. They are what excite her, motivate her, and fascinate her. Her passion is palpable and infectious. It's no wonder that Comcept chose her to be the online face of the company.
We talked about a lot of things -- Bayonetta 2's awesome design and mismatched marketing, Dina's first commercially released game (Plushed), the first game she ever remembers playing (a weird monkey-infused version of Tetris), videogame enthusiast culture in Lebanon, and a lot more. I hope this isn't the last time Dina appears on the show. I imagine she'll be in this industry for a long time. It will be exciting to see what she creates next.view full story + comments

Re: How to Delete Google Auto Backup photos
Hi. If you go to Settings, Accounts, you should be able to turn that off in your Google account, or if you have a different Cloud backup service, you might see it there (like Dropbox) or you might have to go into the app's settings and change it there.
BUT you may have to turn it off too in the Photos app... I don't know why, but at least in my case, if I turn it off in Accounts, it's still not turned off in Photos (but turning it on in Accounts does turn it on in Photos... go figure).

1. Related Application
Reference is hereby made to provisional patent application Ser. No. 60/052,150 filed Jul. 10, 1997, the benefit of the filing date of which is claimed herein.
2. Field of the Invention
Vascular prostheses or grafts are conventionally constructed of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), e.g., GORE-TEX� or woven, knitted or braided polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabrics [Greisler, �New Biologic and Synthetic Vascular Prostheses,� Chapter 2, R. G. Landes Co., Austin, Tex. (1991)]. Vascular replacements formed from these materials have found widespread clinical use. However, there are serious limitations on their use, especially for small diameters, inasmuch as they may occlude within 24 months after implantation, up to 50% or more of their internal diameter when blood flows therethrough due to thrombogenicity [Underwood et al, International J. Artificial Organs, Vol. 11(4), pages 272-276 (1988)].
Synthetic small diameter vascular prostheses or grafts are defined as those having an internal diameter of 6 mm or less. The small diameter grafts are useful for peripheral repairs of extremities and small arteries such as the coronary arteries. They have been found to substantially occlude in less than 5-10 years [Pevec et al, �Femoropopliteal reconstruction with knitted, nonvelour Dacron versus expanded polytetrafluoroethylene,� J. Vasc. Surg., Vol. 16(1), pages 60-65 (1992)]. Smaller diameters (less than 3-4 mm) are more problematic and likely to occlude in less than 2-3 years. Therefore, a successful small diameter vascular prosthesis (SDVP) for arterial replacement does not exist.
Silicones, in particular, polydialkylsilicones such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), are low surface energy, hydrophobic polymers which resist adhesion of many materials from aqueous environments. Silicone rubber has been found to have a higher affinity for albumin than fibrinogen in competitive adsorption studies, indicating that the material has a low thrombogenicity [Cooper et al, �A comparison of the adsorption of three adhesive proteins to biomaterial surfaces,� J. Biomaterial Sci. Polymer Edn., Vol. 3(1), pages 27-47 (1991)]. Silastic� and silica-free PDMS have significantly lower platelet cell adhesion than polyethylene [Ip et al, �Platelet consumption by NHLBI reference materials and silastic,� J. Biomedical Materials Res., Vol. 25, pages 1321-1324 (1991)]. Silicone-coated PET has reduced thrombogenicity [Norgren et al, �Experimental evaluation of polymerized dacron grafts in the iliac position of pigs,� Annals of Vascular Surgery, Vol. 4, pages 575-579 (1990)] and reduced inflammatory reactions [Granke et al, �Analysis of graft healing in a new elastomer-coated vascular prosthesis,� Cardiovascular Surgery, Vol. 1(3), pages 254-261 (1993)]. A prosthesis made entirely of silicone which allowed tissue in-growth remained 86% patent in canines after 8 weeks [Whalen et al, �A new, all silicone rubber small vessel prosthesis,� ASAIO Journal, Vol. 38, pages M207-M212 (1992)].
U.S. Pat. No. 4,687,482 to Hanson discloses an attempt to coat conventional vascular prosthesis materials with silicone to decrease their thrombogenicity. Hanson demonstrates reduced platelet consumption and reduced thrombogenicity with a PDMS-coated prosthesis [Hanson et al, �Vascular thrombus formation,� Annals NY Acad. Sci., Vol. 516, pages 653-661 (1987)]. More specifically, Hanson discloses exposing vascular prostheses to hexane solvent solutions of various silicones. Hexane, however, will only swell PET, for example, about 2% over a 24-hour period. Simply allowing hexane solutions of silicones to flow over the graft material would not be sufficient to result in diffusion into the substrate of significant amounts of silicone. Thus, there is virtually no significant bonding of the silicone coating to the substrate. Studies have shown that the Hanson-type prosthesis is subject to delamination of the silicone coating from the prosthesis substrate upon mechanical flexing, especially upon suturing. No significant clinical use for such silicone coated devices has, therefore, occurred. Other vascular prostheses and devices having surfaces for contacting blood are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,974,526; 4,906,465 and 5,192,308. These devices, however, have found only limited use.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel method for providing strongly adherent, thrombus-resistant, polymeric coatings on materials conventionally employed in constructing vascular prostheses and other devices having surfaces for contacting blood, as well as the devices themselves.
The above and other objects are realized by the present invention, one embodiment of which relates to a method of fabricating a device comprising a substrate having a surface of low thrombogenicity for contact with blood comprising the steps of:
A further embodiment of the invention concerns the device produced by the above-described method.
Another embodiment of the invention comprises a device with a substrate having a surface for contacting blood, the surface comprising a substantial continuum of thrombus-resistant polymeric material coated on and extending into the substrate to a substantial depth.
The novel method of the invention essentially comprises a swelling or impregnation of the substrate intended for contacting blood with a monomer or reactive oligomer in an organic solvent, e.g., a polydimethylsiloxane precursor in methylene chloride, chloroform or hexane, whereby the polymer precursor is diffused throughout a substantial depth of the substrate, entrapping molecules of the precursor therewithin and coating the surface thereof. Upon de-swelling or removal of the solvent and subsequent or concomitant solvent removal and reaction, the polymerized siloxane remains bound within and upon the substrate, thereby providing a stable surface coating anchored to the substrate by the continuum of polymer (e.g., polysiloxane) extending into the substrate. The techniques utilized heretofore in the prior art such as in U.S. Pat. No. 4,687,482 (Hanson) applied a surface coating which was inadequately adherent to the substrate.
The invention will be described hereinbelow with particular reference to forming thrombus-resistant polysiloxane coatings on the luminal surfaces of vascular prostheses. It will be understood by those skilled in the art, however, that the invention is equally applicable to and, indeed, embraces forming such coatings on any device having a substrate designed for contacting blood such as, e.g., catheters, artificial hearts, ventricular grafts, cardiovascular sutures, ventricular assist devices, intraaortic balloon pumps, pulmonary artery catheters, ventricular patches, metabolic support catheters, pacer leads and the like.
The invention will also be described hereinbelow with particular reference to coatings formed from dimethylsiloxane monomers and oligomers. It will be equally understood by those skilled in the art, however, that the invention is equally applicable to and, indeed, also embraces forming such coatings from other monomers and/or oligomers which form thrombus-resistant polymeric coatings, such as, e.g., fluorosiloxanes, phenylsiloxanes, hydrophilic alkylene oxide siloxanes, other alkyl siloxanes, as well as copolymers and/or mixtures thereof.
It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the monomer/oligomer system may comprise a two-part cure system such as the Shin-Etsu two-part system of the appended examples (a platinum catalyzed vinyl addition-type reaction system), as well as room temperature vulcanization (RTV) systems, other catalyst activated systems, including platinum, peroxide or UV, photo or radiation initiator systems, and condensation-type silicone systems.
The substrate may comprise any foraminous or porous or otherwise impregnable material suitable for contact with blood. Although it is preferred to employ expanded polymer substrates such as polytetrafluoroethylene (e.g., GORE-TEX�) or woven, knitted or braided fabrics constructed of polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate (e.g., Dacron�), it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the devices of the invention may be constructed of any suitable material capable of being surface-coated and impregnated to a substantial depth to the substrate below the surface with the solution of monomer or oligomer. Among such materials are, for example, fibers, tubes, molded parts, woven and non-woven fabrics, expanded or knitted, braided or woven substrates or continuous tubular/non-woven/extruded structure/conduits formed of other polyesters, polyamides, polysiloxanes, epoxy resins, polycarbonates, polyurethanes, polyolefins (e.g., polypropylene, polyethylene, etc.), polysulfones, polyimides, and compositions which may comprise metal, glass and ceramic materials and the like having a porous or microporous cross-sectioned structure or a surface capable of being swollen or penetrated by the above-mentioned solutions.
The particular solvent employed, the length of time of contact of the coating system with the substrate, concentration of monomer or oligomer in the solution and other process parameters will depend in each instance upon the nature of the device, the thickness of surface coating desired and other conditions specific to the particular application contemplated. Exposure of the substrate to the coating system may be effected by dipping, spraying, calendaring, surface casting or any other suitable technique known in the art and readily understood by the skilled artisan. It is only necessary to expose the substrate to the coating solution for a length of time sufficient to penetrate the pores and/or interstices of the substrate to the depth desired.
Suitable solvents include those capable of swelling or diffusing into the pores and/or interstices of the substrate to be coated and which, of course, do not deleteriously affect the structure thereof. They should also be capable of easy removal from the coated and impregnated substrate after polymerization of the monomer and/or oligomer, e.g., by thermal evaporation, reduced pressure (vacuum) evaporation or a combination thereof.
The table below sets forth the relevant characteristics for a variety of solvents with respect to this applicability for swelling PET:
Based on the foregoing, the preferred solvents would be chlorinated hydrocarbons such as chloroform, methylene chloride and carbon tetrachloride. Other suitable solvents include 1,2-dichloroethane, isobutyl chloride and alkanes such as pentane, octane, isopentane, heptane and the like, as well as tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethyl acetate, methylethylketone, pyridine, dimethyl formamide and the like.
Although any suitable siloxane monomer or oligomer may be employed in the practice of the invention, it is preferred to use dimethylsiloxane due to its ready availability, attractive cost factors and low degree of thrombogenicity possessed by polysiloxanes formed therefrom.
In a preferred embodiment, the substrate is pre-modified to enhance the attachment of the polysiloxane to the substrate by first exposing the substrate to a solvent solution of a vinyl-terminated polysiloxane, e.g., methacryloxypropyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane (MAOP-t-PDMS) or polymethoxyvinylsiloxane. Gamma-radiation induced free-radical graft polymerization of the MAOP-t-PDMS results in a substrate wherein a covalently grafted MAOP-t-PDMS is integrally and homogeneously distributed within and on the surface of the substrate. Presoaking the substrate in a solution of vinyl monomer, e.g., methyl methacrylate (MMA), prior to initiating polymerization results in enhanced graft polymerization. Subjecting this intermediate product to the above-described novel method results in covalent bonding between the polysiloxane coating and the MAOP-t-PDMS system, both on the surface of the substrate and in the interior thereof, thereby providing an even more stable coating which is less subject to delamination and/or degradation.
During the gamma radiation portion of the pre-treatment where MAOP-t-PDMS is used after a presoak in MMA, other polymers which are not vinyl functional may also be incorporated. Upon exposure to gamma radiation in the presence of the MMA monomer, these copolymers will become active/functional and bond and cross-link with the MMA and PET substrate. Examples of such polymers are: (acryloxypropyl)-methyl polydimethylsiloxane copolymer, (methyl methacryloxypropyl)polydimethylsiloxane copolymer, methacryloxypropyl polydimethylsiloxane copolymers, poly(methacryloxypropylmethyl)siloxane and poly(acryloxypropylmethyl)siloxane.
Whether the substrate is only coated or first subjected to pre-modification prior to coating, the resulting product has a greatly reduced thrombogenicity and high degree of adherence of the coating to the substrate, thereby rendering the structure highly stable.
The coating may be of any desired suitable thickness, e.g., from about 10 nanometers to about 1 mm, preferably from about 500 nanometers to about 5 μm.
The invention is illustrated by the following non-limiting examples wherein Dacron� refers to polyethyleneterephthalate (PET).
Group A: Control Dacron��Unmodified Dacron� Fabric (low porosity fabric)
Group B: MAOP-t-PDMS Pre-modified Dacron� (1):
Presoak Dacron� in a 10% solution of methyl methacrylate (MMA) monomer in 90% chloroform at room temperature for 24 hours. The presoak was followed by placing the sample into a solution of 10% MAOP-t-PDMS, 10% MMA, 80% chloroform, degassing the solution and exposing it to gamma radiation for a total dose of 0.10 to 0.15 Mrad. The samples were then washed in chloroform until no traces of monomer or unbonded polymer were detected.
Group C: MAOP-t-PDMS Pre-modified Dacron� (2):
Presoak Dacron� in a 40% solution of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 60% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) for 24 hours. The presoak was followed by placing the sample into a solution of 10% MAOP-t-PDMS, 10% MMA, 80% chloroform, degassing the solution and exposing it to gamma radiation for a total dose of 0.10 to 0.15 Mrad. The samples were then washed in chloroform until no traces of monomer or unbonded polymer were detected.
Group E: Coated Dacron� (Dacron� which was soaked in a 10% PDMS-chloroform solution for 4 hours):
The PDMS in the solution was a two-part mixture of oligomers from Shincor Silicones (KE 1935 A and KE 1935 B) mixed in equal ratios. The sample was removed from the solution and cured thermally at 60� C. in air for 24 hours. The sample was then subjected to vacuum (30 in Hg) for 12 hours, soaked in chloroform for 12 hours and cured under vacuum again for 12 hours.
Concentrations higher than 10% provide thicker coatings. A solution concentration of 25% in hexane (rather than chloroform), for example, provides a coating on the order of 50 microns. The thickness of the coating can, therefore, be tailored to the specific application.
Group F: MAOP-t-PDMS Pre-modified Dacron� (1) followed by coating:
Group B process followed by Group E process.
Group G: MAOP-t-PDMS Pre-modified Dacron� (2) followed by coating:
Group C process followed by Group E process.
Group K: MAOP-t-PDMS Pre-modified Dacron� Control (3):
This process involves no presoaking. The process involves placing samples into a solution of 10% MAOP-t-PDMS, 10% MMA, 80% chloroform, degassing the solution and exposing it to gamma radiation for a total dose of 0.10 to 0.15 Mrad. The samples were then washed in chloroform until no traces of monomer or unbonded polymer were detected. Group K samples are not coated.
Weight Increase (Weight Percent of PDMS Coating):
Gravimetric analysis of the modifications show various extents of weight increase (Table 2). The coated samples (Group E) show a weight increase of approximately 19% for the given conditions. Changes in solution concentration and dipping times will change the total weight increase. MAOP-t-PDMS pre-modified samples show varying weight increases depending on the technique used, with method 1 (Group B) having a 2-3% weight increase, method 2 (Group C) having a 4-5% weight increase, and method 3 (Group K) having less than a 1% weight increase. Changes in solution concentrations, presoaking times and irradiation doses will change these weight increases as more or less MAOP-t-PDMS, MMA and coated PDMS are incorporated.
XPS Surface Chemistry Analysis:
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to analyze the atomic concentration of the surfaces. Table 3 shows the atomic surface concentrations for Dacron�, coated Dacron�, MAOP-t-PDMS pre-modified Dacron�, MAOP-t-PDMS and coated Dacron�, and PDMS. From these data, it is clear that the surface coating following the method of this invention has the same composition as PDMS.
These data show that the pre-modification with MAOP-t-PDMS provides a bonded PDMS surface. Furthermore, following coating, the surface chemistry is comparable to silicone film, indicating complete coverage. Data for Group K modifications, pre-modifications with MAOP-t-PDMS, show bonding or attachment of a PDMS surface without presoaking in MMA. This indicates that the MAOP-t-PDMS pre-modification process is effective with or without the presoaking steps in MMA.
Leak Rate:
The coated samples may be rendered non-porous by the silicone coating on the substrate, if desired. The leak rate of water through the pores was evaluated using a pressurized flow system (
The leak rate for unmodified Dacron� was 320 ml/cm2/min. and the leak rate for a PDMS coated sample (4 hours in 10% PDMS-chloroform solution, followed by a 48-hour thermal cure at 60� C.) was 200 ml/cm2/min.
Coating Stability:
The coating stability was determined by attempting to wash or remove the surface coating under pressurized flowing conditions (
These data indicate no silicone comes off the surface to the detection limit of the ICP used in this example, in a concentration greater than 0.1 μg/ml. This is indicative of the coating stability and no silicone will, therefore, be removed in vivo from the surface following implantation.
Reduced Thrombogenicity:
Using aseptic technique, arteriovenous (AV) shunts were constructed between the carotid artery and the jugular vein of adult mongrel canines. Samples to be tested were placed into a section of Silastic tubing and sealed in place with silicone RTV. Autologous 111Indium labeled platelets were injected into the dogs and blood flow over the samples allowed for 60 minutes. The samples were then removed from the shunt and counted in a gamma-counter (Auto-logic, Abbott Laboratories). The counts shown in Table 5 are normalized to the surface area and are reported as counts/mm2. SEM micrographs are shown in
ANOVA confidence overlaps indicate no significant difference between groups A, B and C, or between Groups D, E and F, but indicates a significant difference between the two sets (A, B, C compared to coated samples D, E, F).
These data show an initial reduction in thrombogenicity with the coatings of PDMS with or without the pre-modification using MAOP-t-PDMS and MMA.

Your comment proves you haven't read any comments that
don't support your point of view and completely contradict your belief on this topic. The way a person grows in understanding is by listening to those with experiences with marijuana that have NOT turned into deadbeats like your or your brother's friends.
One person eats some almonds and satisfies a craving.
Another eats almonds and goes into anaphylactic shock and dies.
Should almonds be illegal because they ACTUALLY can cause death? If not, then why should a plant that NEVER caused a direct death be illegal?
One more thing: Smoking marijuana can help you GAIN self awareness, it breaks down social conditioning and allows many to "see through the veil" and can serve as a useful tool to reach new levels of consciousness. Once again, I speak from personal experience.

Brian Kelly sees bright Irish future
Notre Dame's 29-16 victory over Rutgers in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl on Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium was significant in that it marked the end of the road for Brian Kelly's first recruiting class since he took over as head coach for the 2010 season. It culminated a 9-4 season that he said was good but that fell short of the Irish goal of double-digit wins every season.

November 23, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. national team forward Charlie Davies has
been released from a Washington hospital nearly a month after a car
The 23-year-old Davis was released Tuesday. He underwent several
surgeries after the Oct. 13 car crash, which killed a 22-year-old
Doctors say he will continue his rehabilitation with the soccer team's medical staff.
In a statement, Dr. James DeBritz of Washington Hospital Center says Davies faces a long recovery. He says it will take extensive physical therapy for Davies to recover from several broken bones, including two in his right leg, and a lacerated bladder.
Davies is expected to need six to 12 months to recover, essentially ruling him out for the World Cup, which begins in South Africa in June.

The Soul Mate For You Test
Their result for The Soul Mate For You Test ...
You scored 60 Flow of Energy, 40 Info Processing, 60 Decision Making, and 0 Lifestyle!
ESFJs are warmly caring people who give their intimate relationships a lot of special care and attention. They're usually traditional and take their commitments very seriously. Once the ESFJ has said "I do", you can bet that they will put forth every effort to fulfill their obligations to the relationship.
ESFJs want to be appreciated for who they are, and what they give to others. This need of theirs is sometimes intensified to the point where they are very emotionally needy, and constantly "go fishing" for affirmation if it is not freely given. ESFJs typically cannot stand conflict or criticism. They take any sort of criticism as a general indictment of their character. This is a potential pitfall for ESFJs to be aware of. In the face of negative feedback, or the absence of positive affirmation, ESFJ may become very depressed and down on themselves. Appreciation is the greatest gift that their mates can give them.
ESFJs have a tendency to be very conscious of social status and "what other people think". They should take care not to let this interfere with their close relationships.
Sexually, ESFJs are warm and loving, and welcome intimacy as an opportunity to express their affections, and receive their partners gifts of love. Many ESFJs have a tendency to be highly scheduled and traditional in their sexual habits, but this is almost always overcome by increasing their education and awareness of options. ESFJs are very service-oriented and will place a lot of importance on making their partners happy.
Being highly practical, the ESFJ is excellent in matters regarding home management. They're likely to be very responsible about taking care of day-to-day needs, and to be careful and cautious about money matters. They are interested in security and peaceful living, and are willing and able to do their part towards acheiving these goals for themselves, their mates, and their families.
Most ESFJs have a strong need to "belong" - whether it be to institutions or traditions, or family units. This need usually causes them to be quite social creatures, who enjoy attending parties, as well as throwing their own. They're likely to strongly desire that their mates share in their social experiences.
Although two well-developed individuals of any type can enjoy a healthy relationship, ESFJ's natural partner is the ISFP, or the INFP.
What is your personality type and do you match with the ESFJ? Take my other quiz: "The Ultra Ultimate Personality Test."

Double-Bass Soloist Edgar Meyer Returns to Texas Performing Arts' McCullough Theatre, 9/22
A Grammy Award-winning bassist and MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, Edgar Meyer's unparalleled technique and musicianship in combination with his gift for composition have established him as one of the finest artists of his generation. After a stunning 2009 performance with Béla Fleck and Zakir Hussain, Meyer returns to Texas Performing Arts in an intimate solo performance featuring classical music, jazz, bluegrass, and some of his own compositions on September 22, 2012.
As a solo classical bassist, Mr. Meyer has released albums with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Joshua Bell, Chris Thile, and Yo-Yo Ma, as well as several solo CDs. As a composer, Meyer has premiered works with Bela Fleck, Zakir Hussain, Emanuel Ax, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Joshua Bell, Edo de Waart and the Minnesota Orchestra, the Emerson String Quartet, the Boston Symphony under Seiji Ozawa, and violinist Hilary Hahn with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra led by Hugh Wolff. In 1994 he received the Avery Fisher Career Grant and in 2000 became the only bassist to receive the Avery Fisher Prize.
This performance is a highlight of the Austin Bassfest, held during the weekend of September 21-23. Hosted by Professor DaXun Zhang at the University of Texas at Austin Butler School of Music, the Bassfest will be presented in partnership with Texas Performing Arts. This three-day long event will bring together masters of the double bass from around the world for a celebration of the double bass, its music and the musicians. Some of the world's most celebrated double bassists will gather to share their artistry and teaching experience through solo recitals, master classes, and interactive events. The festival's roster includes Edgar Meyer, Hal Robin, Lawrence Hurst, Paul Ellison, Tim Pitts, and Jeff Bradetich to name a few. Events during the Bassfest include a solo competition, as well as TMEA All-State Workshop for high school bassists.

Jon & Kate Gosselin Mark 10 Years of Terrible Marriageby Free Britney at . Comments
Friday was Jon and Kate Gosselin's 10th wedding anniversary, but the estranged parents of eight weren't spotted doing any celebrating over the weekend.
In fact, they spent the weekend apart.
Pretty sad what they've let their lives become, however, the fact that anyone can tolerate that woman for a decade without shooting himself in the head is impressive, so you've gotta give Jon at least a little credit for sticking it out this long.
Kate called cops on celebrity gossip photographers Saturday as she played with her kids and filmed her TLC reality show. On Sunday, she took one of her sextuplets, Leah, on a shopping excursion to Target, Starbucks and Bed, Bath & Beyond.
Jon wasn't spotted at the family's home in Wernersville, Pa. No word on whether he and Deanna Hummel were making private videos in Utah somewhere.
Sadly, Kate Gosselin was not taken into custody and placed under gag order.
Monday, Jon finally surfaced, spending time with his eldest twin daughters, Cara and Mady Gosselin, who called Kate mean after being denied water last week.
Conveniently for Jon, Kate was on her own schedule, getting her reverse mullet cut, so she wasn't around to make the usual condescending, grating remarks.
Take whatever silence you can get around the house, J.
On tonight's all new episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8, which hopefully will receive low ratings, the embattled fam meets the dudes from Orange County Choppers.
I totally agree - Kate always seems to be with the kids and she hardly gets a break....I have two kids and can't imagine how she doesn't go insane....she is strong and deserves someone who will really appreciate all that she does. If Jon leaves it would probably be for the best....he is immature and irresponsible. How can you brig eight kids into this world and
You guys nailed it! Jon is the weak, crying baby in the bunch. I'm sure Kate is tired of his whinging and his general uselessness. Jon needs to get with the program or go out in to the world and get a real job or pray that his new little teacher friend doesn't get fired from her job for moral turpitude. Talk about a bunch of kindergarteners! I applaud Kate, she IS a strong woman and she will raise those kids just fine without the ninth baby sucking on her hind tit.
I am so tired of hearing that Kate is the reason why Jon is unhappy, because she is so controlling. He knew that she was like that before he got marry to her. That don't give him the right to go out and have an affair (if he did had one). I applaud Kate for sicking in there for so long
I am tired of hearing about poor jon-he is a jerk-he acts like the victim all the time - he is tired of being on tv - well then he should not have started it. what did he think he would never be noticed - (get real)!!! so what if kate is controlling anyone who has been a mom knows how hard it is and I can't imagine with 8 kids!! I think everyone thinks she should be happy go lucky all the time!!! Plus jon quit wineing when you are with the kids its tiring - That is one thing kate does not do and thats wine about being with the kids......jon buck up and take some control and quite being a marder!!!
i am confused on why everyone always makes jon out to be the good guy when he is the one always gone, and he is the one who supposedly had the affair. just because kate is a little controlling does not give him the right to act the way he has been. it gets old hearing everyone stick up for him and say he has the right to do these things. he is married with a wife and kids at home, so why doesn't he help out a little bit.

Mate and his colleagues also tracked a fin whale for more than a year as part of the TOPP research.
"It did nothing that we expected," he said with a laugh. "Usually, we think large whale species go south for the winter and north in the summer, but this whale spent its winter in the Gulf of Alaska and didn't go south until spring when it went as far south as the tip of Baja, but returned back to the Gulf of Alaska without stopping anywhere. In total, the whale made four trips through a 30-kilometer wide area off Vancouver Island, suggesting a preference for a very precise corridor.
"It's hard to generalize about whale behavior with a small sample size," Mate said. "But that's the value of tracking animals over the years through efforts like the TOPP program. We learn about patterns and variability and inevitably, we learn something we never knew before and often times it is really fundamentally different that what we thought we would find."
Among the Pacific Ocean predators tracked by researchers in addition to whales and tuna were several species of sharks, leatherback sea turtles, two species of albatross, sooty shearwaters, Northern elephant seals and California sea lions.
