Maybe I'll tell you about it later, but I have to go to bed soon... I'm tripping balls because I'm so tired!
But I'll just give you one hint!!!
I got mauled with tickles today
On a scale of 1-10, how ticklish are you? And do you like to be tickled?
I'm like a four and I do like it. It's fun. Tickle fights are amazing!!
Well, uh...
Night!!!! <3
I am a twelve on the tickle scale. I am a walking tickle. My patience is limited with tickles because of it. I have to like the person tickling me or it's all bad. I also think I twitch funny when tickled. Awkward.

Grow tall sugarcane, eat that soil, drink the rain. But know that they'll chase you if you play their little games. So run, run fast, sugarcane.
on a scale of 1-10?
i'm about a 15. :)
i had my physical exam yesterday and nearly peed myself when the doctor did the torso part of it, where they poke at your stomach and stuff. :P
once i got a haircut and the guy was washing my hair
and he tickled my ears and i fell off the chair

In the past, surveillance equipment was only used by the government and private investigators. But now more and more people are finding a need for this specialized but easy to use equipment. Millions of people are using nanny cams to check on their babysitters, surveillance cameras to keep an eye on their homes and businesses and hidden cameras to catch theft, abuse and infidelity. No other method can give you the undeniable proof or evidence that a surveillance camera can.
We take real pride in the fact that we help protect property and lives. We help provide peace of mind and real security by helping people make their lives, homes and businesses safer. Most people are "under-protected" and admit that "they ought to…" as soon as these products are put in front of them. A lot of our products are "Impulse Items", purchased as soon as shown and explained. Like the Wrist Watch or Ball Point Pen Hidden Cameras and built in Digital Video Recorders. You can view the video on your TV or Computer.
The current economy is not helping people feel more secure. Safety is on peoples' minds. Well, is there a day that crime isn't in the news? Child abductions, nanny and babysitter abuse, theft, assaults, car-jackings, break-ins and home invasions. As soon as you bring up the subject of personal and home security, you tap into real concerns. We want to help you find the surveillance system that is right for you. But before you get started, there are 3 important benefits, besides the fact our hidden cameras are hand crafted, that set our cameras apart from others...
2.4 GHz Transmitters: We use only high powered 2.4 GHz transmitters that can send video signals up to three times further than other transmitters.
Battery Packs: You have to supply power to wireless surveillance and hidden cameras. This is usually done with a battery pack. Most battery packs can only supply power for up to 5 hours. Then you have to throw that pack away and get a new one. But our 12 volt battery pack lasts up to a whopping 12 hours...and it's rechargeable!
Lens Technology: CCD (Charged Coupled Device) is the lens we use in our cameras. There are cheaper lenses on the market, but none of them produce the high quality images that CCD lenses do. CCD lenses are high resolution and highly sensitive to light, allowing them to record in outdoor and low-light conditions.
Now a word of warning...
There are many cameras out there that use 1.2 GHz transmitters and receivers. We have been asked why we don't. The reason is 1.2 GHz frequency is not approved by the FCC for transmitting wireless video. The FCC is aware of the situation and is conducting an ongoing investigation into the production and distribution of 1.2 GHz surveillance products. All of our hidden cameras are FCC approved 2.4 GHz.
We've included some frequently asked questions on this website. If there is anything else you don't understand, please contact us.
We have a huge selection of complete surveillance systems to choose from. But, if you ever need something we don't stock or have a special request, just ask. We will do our best to get you what you need.

Donald Lawrence & The Tri City Singers
One of the most popular Gospel choirs of the 1990s, Donald Lawrence And The Tri City Singers also managed to make waves with the secular media similar to a handful of other Christian acts during the decade. But the success could not have been possible without several key individuals working behind the scenes, lending their talents to launch one of todays premier Gospel music groups.
Perhaps most visible was producer, songwriter and musical director Donald Lawrence, who also performs with the group. Born with a love for music, Donald Lawrence earned a Bachelor Of Fine Arts Degree from the prestigious Cincinnati Conservatory. His list of accolades is a long one, including musical director for Stephanie Mills; vocal coach for the popular group En Vogue; songwriter for the Clark Sisters and the Gospel Workshop of America; and producer for Peabo Bryson, Kirk Franklin and others. In addition, he has written and directed several Gospel musicals and plays. His reputation for quality production was established early on, and he has been often sought after in both Gospel and mainstream music alike. Lawrence first came to work with Tri City Singers when his friend stepped down from his role as musical director. Lawrence stepped in and soon enlisted the group to showcase his work, which became their first collaboration, A Songwriters Point Of View.
Soon after Lawrence became part owner of the Detroit based Crystal Rose Records and signed the group as one of the labels premier artists. Lawrence insists that none of his efforts should be mentioned without crediting Kevin Bond, his close friend and production associate. Most every project I have worked on has been done with the help of Kevin, Lawrence explains. We work very closely, and I couldnt do what I do without him. Lawrence and Bond met through Stephanie Mills, of which Bond played keyboard and Lawrence was musical director for several years.
Donald contributes his extensive mainstream music experience to Tri-City Singers, a 34-member choir who represent three distinctive areas in North Carolina: Spartanburg, South Carolina, Gastonia and Charlotte, North Carolina. Among the many Gospel choirs that existed today ,the group has become known for its quality of music much to the credit of Lawrence.

- Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Put a pan of water on to boil, then cook the lasagne sheets for about 5 mins until softened, but not cooked through. Rinse in cold water, then drizzle with a little oil to stop them sticking together.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan, then fry the onion. After 3 mins, add the courgettes and garlic and continue to fry until the courgette has softened and turned bright green. Stir in 2/3 of both the ricotta and the cheddar, then season to taste. Heat the tomato sauce in the microwave for 2 mins on High until hot.
- In a large baking dish, layer up the lasagne, starting with half the courgette mix, then pasta, then tomato sauce. Repeat, top with blobs of the remaining ricotta, then scatter with the rest of the cheddar. Bake on the top shelf for about 10 mins until the pasta is tender and the cheese is golden.

Comments, questions and tips
I've made this dish fully vegetarian and non-vegetarian, and everyone loved it each time! I found a way to make it a little meaty for the meat lovers out there. Add 4 rashers of diced cooked back bacon when adding the garlic. Also, I added 2-3 teaspoons of chicken stock powder as seasoning. You can just crush a dry stock cube or two for this.Once, I substituted ricotta cheese for cream cheese and it worked just fine. =) Overall, 5 stars for this recipe!
Tip: Choose courgettes which are smaller and reasonably fresh. I found that the larger courgettes (but not big enough to be classed as marrows) and courgettes that are about a week old in the fridge have a slight bitterness to them.
This recipe is perfect for using up courgettes. A cheap and delicious alternative to a meat lasagne.
I fried the onion, garlic & courgette, but didn't bother heating the tomato sauce in the microwave or pre-cooking the lasagne sheets. Instead, I layered up the courgette mix/dried lasagne sheets/tomato sauce; and cooked in the oven for around 40 minutes. Was perfectly cooked, and saved on the washing up.
This recipe is definately a keeper! Thanks for everyone's useful tips on here; I salted and drained my giant, homegrown courgette and used mascarpone as I couldn't get ricotta. I added a chilli as well, and a bit of exra cheddar - I can't wait to make it again! Might add some mushrooms too next time, and make my own tomato sauce.
I used about 200g ricotta+500g zucchini for filling and 100g ricotta+100g cheddar for topping, added fresh rosemary, thyme, basilic. Instead of tomato sauce I used canned plum tomatoes, roughly chopped and added a tablespoon dark brown sugar and increases time in oven to 35min. Taste was really good and my bf announced, that it`s better than "normal lasagna" :)
Great recipe. I use a food processor to chop the onion and garlic and grate the cheese and courgettes. I use dried lasagne and don't bother heating the tomato sauce, I just cook it for about 30mins. I've just made one now,assembled it cold and will cook it tomorrow or freeze it uncooked. Really easy, really tasty.
Unexpectedly delicious! Quick, simple & filling& the ricotta is gorgeous. One (possibly obvious) tip - if you ARE going to soften the lasagne sheets in boiling water, make sure they have plenty of room to move. Mine stuck horrendously & wouldn't budge - but the no pre-cook ones worked just fine! Would definitely make this again.

I've got two plants that I'm not 100% certain of. The first is ID'd as Cheiridopsis purpurea but since I've just gotten it, I have no idea what color its flowers will be. The leaves are chunky and spotted, which seems to be correct for C. purpurea.
The second is this Adromischus. Al, you may remember I posted this one a few months ago. I've always thought it was bolusii, but could it be one of the forms of cooperi? I can't find anything on bolusii on the internet. This plant produces pale pink flowers in late spring, if that helps any. In the last photo, you can see a small tip cutting that I just took a few days ago. I like the attractive, thick stems of this one and I'm sure it will be very attractive when it gets older. Many thanks in advance, Amy |

I'm not convinced by C. purpurea. It looks like it is a sheathing species, possibly even a dimorphic one. Watch how it develops over the year, and a flower would be a great clue. |
- Posted by Niel42_Scotland (My Page) on Sun, Nov 20, 05 at 7:41
Nice plants Amy. I would say your Adromischus looks more like A.triflorus than A.cooperi there is so much variation in leaf forms within the species that sometimes it is quite difficult to get a hard and fast ID. The flowers are a great way of narrowing it down as it puts your plant into the right group or section for IDing. If you get a chance to obtain the excellent book Adromischus by John Pilbeam,Chris Rodgerson and Derek Tribble you will find it very informative with super pictures of all the species and shows also the different flowers within the different groups. Hope this helps. Niel. |
Nice plants Amy :) Dawn |

religious jokes
Four Catholic ladies are having coffee together. The first one tells her friends, "My son is a priest. When he walks into a room, everyone calls him 'Father'."
The second Catholic woman chirps, "My son is a Bishop. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, 'Your Grace'."
The third Catholic woman says smugly, "My son is a Cardinal. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, 'Your Eminence'."
The fourth Catholic woman sips her coffee in silence. The first three women give her this subtle "Well…..?"
She replies, "My son is a gorgeous, 6'2″, hard bodied stripper. When he walks into a room, people say, 'Oh my God…'."

Jewish Jokes and Religious Humor
A man wonders if having sex on the Sabbath is a sin because he is not sure if sex is work or play. He asks a priest for his opinion on this question. The priest says after consulting the Bible says, "My son, after an exhaustive search I am positive sex is work and is not permitted the Sabbath."
The man thinks and decides, what does a priest know about sex?
He goes to minister… a married man, experienced—for the answer. He queries the minister and receives the same reply. Sex is work and not for the Sabbath! Not pleased with the reply, he seeks out the ultimate authority—a man of thousands of year's tradition and knowledge, a Rabbi.
The Rabbi ponders the question and states, "My son, sex is definitely play."
The man replies, "Rabbi, how can you be so sure when so many others tell me sex is work?"
The Rabbi softly speaks, "If sex were work…my wife would have the maid do it."
A lady approaches her priest and tells him "Father, I have a problem. I have two female talking parrots, but they only know how to say one thing."
"What do they say?" the priest inquired.
"They only know how to say, 'Hi, we're prostitutes. Want to have some fun?'"
"That's terrible!" the priest exclaimed, "but I have a solution to your problem. Bring your two female parrots over to my house and I will put them with my two male talking parrots, whom I taught to pray and read the bible. My parrots will teach your parrots to stop saying that terrible phrase and your female parrots will learn the joys of praise and worship."
"Thank you!" the woman responded.
The next day the woman brings her female parrots to the priest's house. His two male parrots are holding the rosary beads and praying in their cage. The lady puts her two female parrots in with the male parrots and the female parrots say "Hi we're prostitutes, want to have some fun?"
One male parrot looks over at the other male parrot and exclaims, "Put the beads away, brother. Our prayers have been answered!"

Small GIF and JPEG files - by design, not just optimisation by Ben Summers
Last month, I discussed how to get the best out of JPEG files, and the month before that, GIF files. But simply producing small files is not the only thing you can do. HTML forces you to consider its limitations when designing web pages, but with graphic files, the tendency is to draw first, optimise later. Why not design your site to have small graphic files in the first place?
This month, I'm going to discuss how to design Web pages to take advantage of the strengths and weaknesses of GIF and JPEG files, rather than making compromises when optimising the graphics.
The basic principle is an extension of choosing the right format for the right kind of image ... for iconic images with solid colors, use GIF, and for photographic images, or graduated colors, use JPEG ... but instead of thinking about it after the image has been created, consider it before you create the final graphics.
You'll probably have an idea of the overall effect you want to create, perhaps even a mock-up. The trick is to think about which format you're going to use when designing the final image, and then draw the image to make the best use of that format.
The whole page doesn't have to be the same format. Some bits could be JPEG and others GIF, to use the strengths of each format where it's most useful. A good approach is to think of the page in terms of non-overlapping rectangular cells - just as you'd design a table in HTML (in fact, you'll probably be using such a table to construct the page in the end anyway, and splitting images up to use JavaScript mouseovers) - and in each cell, choose either GIF or JPEG, designing that area of the page to take advantage of the strengths of that format.
Try to make each cell as large as possible without compromising your design. Not only does each file have it's own image header (and palette if it's a GIF file) but there's web server overhead too. For each file requested, there's around 400 bytes of HTTP server chit-chat which needs to be sent to request the image, so if you're not careful, this hidden cost can be more than the file size you save. Unless, of course, you reuse these images on other pages, where since they're cached, they won't have to be downloaded again and are effectively free. It's a very fine balance.
GIF is very good at compressing images with large areas of solid color (or composed of regular dither patterns) and retaining sharp edges, so design your image with as small a set of colors as possible (not including colours used for anti-aliasing). You don't have to use the same set in each GIF cell, so you can use a much lower BPP (bits per pixel) than if you'd just used one larger image.
JPEG, on the other hand is extremely good at compressing changing colours, so use JPEG for cells with continuous changes (like a marbled background). It's not very good at sharp edges and solid colours, especially at the high compression ratios you'll be using, so steer clear of those.
Here, the red square aligns with the 16 x 16 grid of the JPEG's color channel.
The red square is in an arbitrary position here and the compression artifacts very obvious.
If you want horizontal or vertical sharp edges in a JPEG image, you can often get them nice and clean if you place them at the right point in the image. JPEG files are compressed based on 16x16 pixel blocks starting in the top left corner, so if your lines are at the edges of these blocks, the line will often appear at lot cleaner than edges at other position. (For example, a square at coords 16,16 to 32,32 exclusive). Brightness is stored in 8x8 pixels blocks, so if the brightness rather than the colour is changing, you can use edges of 8x8 pixel blocks, but you'll probably find the color blurring. Bear in mind you might be better off splitting the image instead, but this can be a useful trick.
Be careful if graphical elements cross format boundaries - if you have, say, a arrow which is mainly drawn using GIFs, and a part crosses over onto a JPEG, you may find that it's clean lines are blurred on the JPEG causing a rather noticeable effect - more so than if it was entirely represented with a JPEG and therefore all slightly blurred.
But that's not the only thing you can do - you can use browser caching to minimise the number of graphic files used. For example, you could use the same graphic multiple times on your page - it will only be downloaded once however many times it appears on your page. Or perhaps, if you're producing horizontal or vertical bars of color, create an image with smaller pixel dimensions and use the width and height attributes to stretch the image to fill the required area.
Try to reuse graphics from one page on as many other pages as possible - if they're in the browser's cache already, they won't have to be downloaded again when the user views the next page. Or indeed, don't use graphics files at all. Careful use of the bgcolor attribute in table cells can save an awful lot of graphic files!
Another trick is to use JavaScript to request images which will be needed on the next page, but only after everything on the first page has been loaded. While the user is reading your page, the next will be subtly loading in the background.
Producing small image files is one thing, but producing small web pages is another, almost completely different, thing.
Your own perception of acceptable quality is important too. But quality isn't so important on the web as it is in print. Your work is always subjected to the user with the dodgy monitor set to be overly bright... But, is high quality and intricate, colorful design all that important anyway? Those are the things which, when you do all you can with the optimisation, will make your graphics files large... Most people just want to read the content!
Graphics were an afterthought by the original designers of the Web. Let's try and stop them being the thing which makes the internet crawl to a halt today.

Ben's company Fluffy Clouds has just released a new web graphics optimisation program called Ignite. a 30 day trial version is available for download from the Ignite Web Site.

Budget Process Isn't Over. Are More Shutdowns Ahead?
By David Welna
Originally published on Thu October 17, 2013 10:23 am
By wide margins in both the House and the Senate, Congress voted Wednesday night to end a 16-day partial government shutdown. The measure also delays the debt ceiling deadline until early February. House and Senate Budget committees have until Dec. 13 to reconcile competing budgets.

The Holiday Season
The holiday season is upon us. Thanksgiving has already come and gone. It's that time of year again. For many the next month will include an abundance of holiday feasts and desserts. There may be work parties, family gatherings, and celebrations with friends. The gluttony that follows will lead many to proclaim New Year's resolutions. After all, something must be done to make up for the holiday splurge, right?
Perhaps, but you don't need to wait until the new year. I'd rather self-correct a splurge with more immediate action. Doing so doesn't mean depriving yourself of the festivities that so many enjoy this time of year. It is entirely possible to enjoy the holidays and continue training without interruptions.
Unfortunately, many seem to be confused about how to proceed during the holidays. At this time each year, my inbox fills with questions about what to eat and how to find time for exercise. My response to such questions is always the same. Eat whatever you want. That's what I do. I am not ashamed to admit that I enjoy a Thanksgiving feast. I eat huge portions and finish myself off with multiple servings of dessert. It is always a fun day with family and friends.
Stuffing myself like a pig on Thanksgiving doesn't mean that I've abandoned a life of health and fitness however. On Thanksgiving morning, I awoke early and exercised. I pushed myself hard knowing what the day would bring. I did more than I would have on a normal Thursday morning.
Later that day, I stuffed myself full and fought through a food coma as I continued to down slices of fresh apple pie. As nightfall came, I was stuffed and exhausted. I couldn't imagine living and feeling like that on a daily basis. Eating myself to the point that it was uncomfortable was fun for the day, but certainly not something I could do regularly. I wouldn't want to live feeling that way. I'd much rather feel energized and mobile.
On Friday morning, I rose early and was right back in the gym. I never skipped a beat. I continued through the weekend with intense workouts on Saturday and Sunday. Nothing changed. One day of festivities didn't ruin me. It didn't change me. I am still the same person with the same passion.
Making time to exercise isn't as difficult as many believe. The busiest person in the world has 24 hours to work with each day. Busy people don't have the luxury of living longer days. No matter who you are and where you live, you have 24 hours a day.
By all means enjoy the holidays, but don't view them as a time to throw your body under the bus. No one is too busy to exercise. It all boils down to priorities. We all have time for whatever we deem necessary. I am always amazed that people will wake up in the middle of the night to go shopping on Black Friday. They will jump at the opportunity to buy something (that they probably don't need) at a discounted price. If it means waking up at 3AM and sitting in line for several hours, so be it. It's a sale!!!
Meanwhile, many of the same people will complain that they don't have time to workout. Is it really that difficult to wake up 30 minutes earlier than usual to get in some exercise? Imagine if everyone in the world started each day with a few sets of pushups, pull-ups, squats, lunges, etc. A simple 30 minute investment in yourself can go a long way. An added plus is that you won't need a Black Friday coupon. Working through a series of bodyweight exercises will always be free. And you don't need to wait for the newspaper fliers to tell you where the sales are. Any room in your house will do.
You aren't too busy to exercise and you don't need anything fancy to get started. And if you want to get started, get started. Don't tell people that you want to start working out. Start working out. The holiday season isn't a reason to abandon your body. Flip the switch on the typical excuses and turn the season into something positive for yourself.
I always work extra hard during the winter months. I know that I'll be enjoying time with family and friends. It serves as an extra incentive to push myself to new personal bests in the gym. There isn't a turkey or apple pie in the world that could slow me down. I will keep moving forward, with or without the holidays.
Life is what you make it. Always has been, always will be. – Eleanor Roosevelt

I know this isn't something a lot of fitness enthusiasts would approve of but I generally take the week of Thanksgiving and the rest of the year off except for a long walk 3-4 times a week. I will do no other exercise until January 2 of the following new year. If you're training 9-10 months out of the year that's is more than some professional athletes and your body certainly needs time away to renew and reinforce your motivation for training. Taking a week off every 8-10 weeks during the year does wonders also for you physically as well as mentally. I've got a big sweet tooth so my diet certainly isn't all that disciplined either but I will cut back on the breads, pasta, sweets, etc., if the flab starts showing too much. If you're going to make fitness a lifetime committment you just can't go full throttle all the time, and once in awhile your body and mind need a break from all the working out. Sometimes I've taken a week to 10 days off and came back stronger than before.

how to get motivated to lift weights November 28th, 2012 7:07 am
Hi Ross, i want to say i got the inspiration through your blog.. it is true that we can easily get at least 30 minutes for workout session and for physical fitness it is must, i will also follow this after reading the blog.. really inspirational!!!
AffectionforFitness November 28th, 2012 8:26 am
Hi! I've decided to not gain any weight during the holiday season, and so far I've lost a few pounds. I will pick a few treats to eat, but most of it I will graciously turn down. It isn't worth undoing any of the hard work that took me so long to accomplish. I want to be very happy with myself when I start 2013.
Cade November 28th, 2012 2:56 pm
A breath of fresh air. I grow tired of all the "experts" putting out tips for eating healthy on Thanksgiving, etc. To each their own, but one day does not do enough damage to get all up in arms about (unless it leads to multiple days). Anyway, thanks for being the voice of reason out there on this and many other topics.

I clearly remember reading someone's book, " Eat to live not live to eat" It really is as simple as shopping on the outside of the grocery store. IMO, and this is just me, I am okay with tuna and lettuce. I don't need a gourmet meal everyday (just sometimes) . Society truly makes the concept of nutrition difficult to comprehend. There's no fat, low fat, low carb, etc… Blah.. OVERLOAD. How about just eat fruits, veggies, meat, and if you want some white rice, OKAY, make it half a cup! Hrm.. Shouldn't it be common sense? I wonder.

Hi Ross, I'm a trainer based over in Yorkshire UK and I just wanted to say that I came across you're blog and it was the right time as I became lost and unmotivated with my training and watching you're vids and reading you're blogs really inspires.

[...] The Holiday Season [...]
Eva November 26th, 2014 5:17 am
Eating until I can't move is one of the reason's why I love Thanksgiving! On a typical day I would feel so guilty eating like a 200 lb man, but one day (every once is a while) balances out perfectly. Oh, I love the food coma analogy!

Priyanka is Rahul's back-end manager, bridges gap between his team, old guard
With Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi's responsibilities within the party having expanded, his sister, Priyanka Vadra, has stepped in to act as a key bridge between his core team and the party's old guard. In a new, much larger, albeit behind the scenes, role, Priyanka is also coordinating various aspects of the poll campaign, helping iron out differences on a range of issues and managing Rahul's public image.
According to Congress sources, Rahul and his team's gradual takeover of party affairs left several senior leaders alienated and disgruntled. Priyanka is learnt to have stepped in to smooth ruffled feathers and ensure better coordination, particularly after the party's disastrous show in the assembly elections last year. Sources said she sought out those from the old guard who felt left out, held meetings with them, and brought them back on board.
Priyanka, along with her mother, Congress president Sonia Gandhi, is also learnt to have handled conflicting voices within the party on the drafting of the manifesto. The party's open consultation process for the manifesto, piloted by Rahul's team, was leading to a more voluminous version that some quarters felt was unwieldy, and subsequent interventions ensured the document released was shorter. The release of the manifesto was delayed due to differences within the drafting committee. Currently, Priyanka is also actively involved with the "sub-manifestos".
While Rahul is busy travelling and campaigning, Priyanka manages the party's back-end operations. She holds regular meetings with senior leaders like Ahmed Patel, Janardhan Dwivedi and Jairam Ramesh. She also keeps in touch with those from Rahul's inner circle including Mohan Gopal and Kanishka Singh, thus facilitating coordination.
"She is very careful not to offend senior leaders and to take them along. She actively seeks out the senior leaders who have been left out," said a party source on condition of anonymity.
According to sources, a senior leader who felt sidelined was pacified by both Priyanka and Sonia at a meeting recently and assured of his importance. His views are now being actively considered on several matters, including selection of candidates.
This poll season has seen Congress lose several senior leaders to other parties, including Jagdambika Pal, sitting MP from Domariyaganj in Uttar Pradesh, who quit the party saying he felt humiliated. He claimed he was unable to communicate his views to the party's emerging leadership. While Priyanka may have succeeded in building bridges, party sources said more work needs to be done and her efforts would take time to percolate to every level.
Party leaders said Priyanka sees "value in getting the party together". Currently, the party is functioning on a dual management strategy for the polls. While Rahul's team is primarly occupied with his campaign, Priyanka plays a more macro role, looking at overall coordination. continued…

Not sure why he doesn't have a thread yet, but here it is!
A subtle, tasteful jazz player, on the NY scene for most of the 90s and early 2000s, seems like he's moved to Spain now and is focusing on piano. Still doing fill in slots with Wayne Shorter's Quartet though! List of recording credits is massive (amongst the NY scene): Kurt Rosenwinkel, Ethan Iverson, Seamus Blake, Mark Turner, and my favourite Brad Mehldau. http://www.jorgerossy.com/ I've been doing some university related study on his development (particularly within Mehldau's trio), I'd love some feedback, will probably post a couple of transcriptions over the next couple months! |

10 Booths We Want to Visit at E3 2013
E3 is coming up and companies have begun unveiling their E3 line-ups. Looking at them and the speculation by fans and analysts alike about what might show up at the conference this year, we have been able to put together this list of 10 Booths We Want to Visit at E3 2013. Of course, we will be visiting every booth at E3 this year, but these are the ones that we are most excited about. So join us as we look at 10 Booths We Want to Visit at E3 2013, and get hyped in the process.
SEGA has a lot to show us this year, including a new Total War game and Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse. They also have a brand new Sonic game to show, Sonic: Lost Worlds, and everyone is excited to figure out whether or not the Sega Spectrum is a new game console or not.
Telltale only has one game to show this year, Fables: The Wolf Among Us, but everyone wants to see if it can live up to the reputation of their previous game, The Walking Dead.
Namco Bandai is showing off Tales of Xillia, Project X Zone, and is helping to develop the new Smash Bros. We also hope they will be showing the new Jojo's Bizarre Adventure All-Star Battle!
EA always has a ton of games to show. This year we will get to see Battlefield 4, a new Need for Speed title, the entire EA sports line, and Star Wars Battlefront.
Ubisoft showed us playable builds of Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed 4. They'll also be showing the new South Park game, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Rayman Legends, and more.
Activision has… oh, let's not kid ourselves here. The sole reason we want to go to the Activision booth is to try out the new Call of Duty: Ghosts.
Square-Enix has Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns and HD remixes of Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy X to show us, but we are really more excited about the new Final Fantasy titles that are coming.
Nintendo will be showing off Pikmin 3, Game and Wario, Bayonetta 2, a new 3DS Mario Party, the new Mario and Luigi RPG: Dream Team Bros, and tons more. However, we all really want to visit the booth to see if they have more Smash Bros. news.
Sure, we saw the Xbox One at the reveal event, but we want to see the games. Forget the SmartGlass, Kinect, Skype, and voice controls. We want games and games they'll have!

'Boy Bishop' Metzger presides at Christ the King Church
At the Cathedral of Christ the King in Sharpsburg on Sunday, Dec. 6, Thomas Metzger, age 12, presided over much of the Sunday service as "Boy Bishop," in an ancient European ceremony which offers a lesson in humility and recognition of the wisdom of youthful innocence. Thomas also preached a brief sermon he had written himself. Members of the congregation congratulated Boy Bishop Thomas with a standing ovation.
Last year's Boy Bishop, Jon Paul Landon, served as Bishop's Chaplain for the Boy Bishop,
Selecting Nicholas Bishops or Boy Bishops was once a popular tradition throughout Europe, from the tip of Italy to the Hebrides in Scotland and from Ireland to Hungary. It is a way of symbolically representing the teaching of Christ and fits perfectly with the Advent themes of turning the tables and oversetting expectations.
The appointment of Boy Bishops honors the feast of St. Nicholas of Myra, patron of children, who is traditionally remembered as having a special, personal concern for the safety and well-being of children.
Though Queen Elizabeth I ended the custom in England, it survived on the Continent until 1799.
In modern times, churches have begun to revive the custom, especially in English cathedrals and parishes. As far as is known, Christ the King Church was the first CEC parish to observe this ancient tradition.
Thomas, son of Richard and Sallie Metzger of Peachtree City, is a home-schooled student who enjoys sports, especially baseball. He is an active acolyte and also assists at the Sunday morning coffee fellowship at Christ the King.

A.M. was well until 6 years of age. She was always a little on the short side and was more sedentary than her older siblings. She walked a little late and did not run as fast as other children her age. We knew there was a significant problem when she started having a lot of difficulty going up stairs. She was seen by a doctor who did some blood tests. A lactate level was elevated. She then began having episodes where she would have transient loss of control or sensation on either side of the body. An MRI of the brain showed small strokes. Genetic testing showed that she had the mutation for MELAS.
Mitochondria are the energy factories of the cell. Abnormalities in mitochondrial DNA or genes produce metabolic disorders that affect different parts of the body, including muscle and brain. Mitochondrial disorders can be inherited or sporadic. When inherited, the abnormal genes always come from the mother, since all mitochondria are of maternal origin. Two mitochondrial disorders can be associated with epileptic seizures. One is MELAS: mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis (meaning too much lactic acid in the blood), and stroke-like episodes. MELAS can lead to stroke-like episodes at a young age (usually before 40), seizures, dementia, headaches, vomiting, unsteadiness, and ill effects from exercise. Persons with MELAS can have both generalized (including myoclonic and tonic-clonic) and partial seizures.
The other mitochondrial disorder with epileptic seizures is MERRF: myoclonic epilepsy with ragged red muscle fibers). MERRF is one of the progressive myoclonic epilepsies. It can also be associated with hearing loss, unsteadiness, dementia, and ill effects from exercise. In addition to myoclonic seizures, patients with MERRF often have generalized tonic-clonic seizures
There are other mitochondrial disorders that do not fit clearly into the MELAS or MERRF syndromes but which can cause epilepsy and additional neurological problems.
There is no specific cure yet for mitochondrial disorders. Treatment is geared towards controlling symptoms and slowing the progression of the disease. A doctor may prescribe a combination of supplements such as Co-enzyme Q 10 or L-Carnitine in addition to other supplements. For patients who have isolated deafness, evaluation for a cochlear implant may be possible. For patients with seizures, standard antiepileptic medications are used.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Best Fucoidan 70% contains the glyconutrient fucoidan derived from brown algae. Seaweeds are a part of the diet in many cultures and fucoidan-containing species have been used traditionally for a variety of therapeutic purposes. Fucoidan contains an abundance of immune-modulating constituents known as polysaccharides. These unique and complex sulfated polysaccharides are not found in other seaweeds or land plants, and have been shown to mediate a variety of significant biological effects on mammalian cells in laboratory research. Research also suggests that fucoidan may possess significant antioxidant activity.

iHerb Customer Reviews
This product has a great deal of benefits that I have experience 1st and the Best is it's boost in immunity, since being on this supplement I have not been sick in >6 months I use to get sick at least 4x a year. 2nd This is an excellent and strong antioxidant - I've noticed a decrease in aches and pains, increased exercise tolerance, fast healing of wounds (cuts, lacerations, abrasions) and better gastrointestinal function. 3rd it improves the quality of your skin and I have had less acne. It has been known to help with cancer - and that would make since mainly because it increases your body's immune system. It does this be helping your body better identify cells that are healthy and those that are sick (infected with virus, damaged by bacteria, or mutated into malignant phase), this allows your bodies natural defense to better kill, target, and manage those cells much more EFFICIENTLY. Therefore, your body would be better in fighting cancerous cells as well. Where as most chemotherapy works by be toxic to all cells that divide naturally, it more toxic to cancerous cells because their more metabolically active and divide at a high rate. Fucoidan could work by a completely different mechanism than chemo and should add at least an additive effect if not a synergistic effect to cancer treatments.
I have found this to be a great product with a reasonable price. I started taking this product when I read it could help with BPH and perhaps even prevent prostate cancer through it's killing of pre-cancerous and cancerous tissue. When I started taking this product my PSA was 6.8 and increasing monthly. It took a couple of months to stabilize my PSA and in about six months my PSA started dropping. It is now under 4.0. and I am doing great. Great product!
