Field & Stream Inferno Casting Rods
Surprisingly Good
The rod is as fairly sensitive considering how affordable it is. I own the 6'6" medium action. I find it most useful for casting light jig heads and small topwater lures when targeting bass. I will also use it for lipless crank baits that are 1/2 oz or smaller. The tip is relatively soft, so fish can't throw trebles that easily. You can use this for smaller jerk baits and flukes as well if you are using light wire hooks.
I wish the rod had more guides to help with the flex when fighting bigger fish. The medium action is a bit thinner than most other companies. The reel seat is also a little loose, which can be felt any time a decent fish is on the line. However, it has held up exceedingly well for a rod under $30. I would definitely recommend this to those just getting started with casting rods. See my attached photo of a near 3lb smallmouth I caught on this rod. Pulled it through current without breaking!

Nice rod for the price
used this pole for Coho salmon fishing off the back of northwest rivers, great action, I could really feel allot with braid. only downside is I snapped the rod were it connects in the middle but I was trying to horse a nice buck up a steep muddy bank.so partly myfault.... upside is ducks replaced it in-store, no hassle at all. next time I will be easier on landing my fish...

Nice Little Rod
I purchased this rod as a "portable" one to keep in the rear of my car. I admit it really looked quite on the thin side, when compared to other similar rods, but really exceeded my expectations. It is light weight, well balanced and casts great. The sensitivity is also good.

Great 2 piece bait cast rod for car
As review title says I needed a 2 piece casting rod to carry in my trunk, I found this rod, I have a spinning rod just like it. This is a nice rod I do recommend it
October 23, 2014
great rod
I bought this rod to replace a broken rod I bought at Bass Pro shops I have a Abu Garcia Revo S on it and have been catching 3-4 lb bass with it with not problem very strong rod to bring these fish through weeds in the cove I fish in on the Charles River
September 11, 2014
great rod
have been out a few times with this rod- very responsive, you feel everything with this rod. it is the perfect length for me (5'10") as well. i also enjoy the fact that this rod is collapsible.
September 9, 2014
perfect size
I was looking for a short fishing pole. This pole is steardy and responsive. Good quality
September 2, 2014
Most bang for your buck
I would love single piece rod, but I needed a 2 piece that would fit in my car (not truck). Works as close as a single piece. I actually got 2 now, a medium light and a heavy medium. They both work great. If you use braided line, you'll be amazed by the ease of your casts as the tip of the rod does it's magic.
August 26, 2014
strong and durable
It was sturdy and durable I caught a 30lb stingray that pull the rod almost in half and it didn't snap. Love it.
August 12, 2014
pretty good!
I got this rod to use in my kayak for inshore fishing. It is nice and light and fits my curado great. Its a pretty soft MH. But this past weekend I caught a red on it and it handled great. It casts well and is light enough to use all day. I plan to use it as a topwater rod throwing mainly spook jrs. I always take cheap rods out in the kayak just in case- but I own many high end bass rods and I feel I have the experience to say that this rod is fairly nice for the money, and if I can find a heavier one. ... I will probably buy two more for the kayak- assuming this one passes a couple of months on the durability test.

New W18 Blogger – Max vs George
August 5, 2010 in I'm A New Blogger!, World 018 News
New Blogger
Hello world 18, I am your new blogger; Max vs George.
I have been blogging on Tribalwars for the past month on High Performance and now have decided to do world 18 as well (because I also play this world) . As my username may hint, my name is Max and I am a young age of 17. I play Tribalwars for fun but sometimes I might get a little serious about things.
My Tribalwars experience dates back to world 2 and throughout world 2 all the way to world 18, 51 and High Performance, I have had short month breaks of the game. Many due to the fact of important exams and other things to do with my education.
I will be writing at least 4 posts a month on the world 18 blog, I will also be giving interviews to the leaders of mostly Apoc-D, Apoc-C, Apoc-N, Apoc-F and the Balkan Alliance because I don't think any of us know who the new Barons and Dukes are of "The World".
I hope you enjoy my blogs and my first one will be out today or tomorrow. Thanks!
– Your world 18 blogger.

Jabornegg & Pálffy's designs are based on context-related surveys and analyses. They regard didactical models as decisive elements for the interpretation of spatial changes in a historical environment, since these clearly convey the different building phases and methods. In addition, these measures are specified with plans and images. With over 30 – didactically processed –models of 14 examples, such as the Museum Judenplatz (2000) in Vienna, the administration centre of Schoeller Bank, Vienna (2000) and the Stift Altenburg Museum (2007), the exhibition documents how this »friction« with a historical environment can generate new architectural complex solutions.

Before I get into this post, I have a confession.
I don't like football. I don't like watching football, I don't like going to football games, and I certainly don't like talking about football.
I do, however, LOVE snacks and appetizers. I could make an entire meal out of finger foods.
Remember the movie "Mermaids" where Cher makes meals solely out of fruit kabobs and pretty much anything on a stick? I could totally live like that.
So, while I'm not going to be giving you tons of idea on how to plan the perfect football party, I've gathered up a few of my nearest and dearest bloggy buddies to dish up the perfect appetizers for the "big game."
Be sure to join us back here next week, January 14-18 for some of our favorite simple (and yummy) recipes!

Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.
The Game: New York Islanders @ Pittsburgh Penguins

The Pick: Under 5.5
The Reason: These two teams played last Saturday in a low scoring, defensive battle that saw only goals as the Kings won 2-1 in a shootout. Expect more of the same tonight and for Roberto Luongo and Jonathan Quick to be on top of their game.

A new pair of rather questionable rumors have appeared today suggesting some major changes to the Apple product line-up in the next year or so. The first concerns a new iPad 'Maxi' which is being report by Korean site ETNews as launching in early 2014 with a 12.9 inch screen size, compared to the 9.7 inch screen of the current generation Retina Display iPad. The new device is apparently set to compete with a range of ultrabooks and, aside from amusing name, would be released early next year.
In contrast, Chinese site WeiPhone is suggesting that the next iteration of the iPhone, the iPhone 5S, which is expected to be released later this year, will actually have around double the amount of pixels on the screen. The device is being reported to have around 1.5 million pixels compared to the nearly 730,000 currently found in the iPhone 5. This report is even more dodgy than the first, as any increase in screen resolution would likely involve a fourfold increase in pixel number rather than two fold as the increase would have to be in both horizontal and vertical dimensions. For comparison, the iPhone 3GS had a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels whereas the iPhone 4 had a resolution of 640 x 960, or four times the number of pixels.

I know how you feel. Last year my alocasias, colocasias and xans were just beautiful. Then came the 2005 hurricanes. We had a hail storm and it ripped the leaves to shreds. I was so frustrated until I thought about 1990 and I put it all into perspective. Feb 2., 1990 a tornado hit my parents' house. They were OK but it got all the beautiful cedar trees which completely shaded their yard and a new car was left only knee high after a tree fell on it. In April 1990 my Dad had a colostomy due to cancer and underwent 30 radiation and 8 weeks of chemo. In July, just as Dad was fiishing his treatments, my nephew fell gravely ill and died July 21. So whenever I'm down and out, I think what a good day and year this is compared to 1990. It really puts things into perspective. Cars and plants can be re-grown and replaced. Your house and family are OK. Please take a moment to count your blessings. You are blessed |

It's good to count your blessings, as I'm sure we all do, but it still hurts when a plant--or plants--we've loved and nurtured is damaged, even if they can be re-grown. They are, after all, our children, and just as when our two-legged children (and our four-legged children lol!) get an 'owee' we hurt for them, even when we know they'll be all healed soon. We had a fairly bad thunderstorm earlier this spring, and regular branches dropping from the tree that provides most the shade for my plants, and I regret each leaf. And I remember my good gardening friend in Erath who lost all her plants, both inside and out, to the wrath of Rita. Yes, things could be worse. But it still hurts, doesn't it? |
lots of respect for all of you. It takes very quality aspects of personality to patiently work for the short lived flowers of so many of the Aroids. Even many only once blooming lilies give such a short span of time to enjoy their blooms. To attain to the character which hightly values the process rather than only the shortest episode of glory is truly a wonderous thing that many captivated and devoted growers of Aroids must share. I can only wonder what that world truely must be like, whenever I encounter even the smallest venture into such territory. |

Paramount's 'Noah' film will be 3D, but not in the United States
Paramount Pictures will release a 3D version of "Noah," but it will not be available in the United States, as the studio hopes to generate added revenue in 65 foreign markets.
"Noah" won't be available in 3D for U.S., U.K., Australian and French markets, with the audience expected to embrace "the combination of the pedigree of the director and the cast and the dramatic elements of the story," The Hollywood Reporter learned.
Although 3D technology has piqued interest in movie goers and consumers, they are still rather unwilling to pay even more for 3D in the theater - and don't trust 3D HDTVs at home quite yet. It will be revealing to see which movies are released in 3D while at the theater and which geographic markets are targeted.
3D printing still a niche market, but fighting for legitimacy
As noted by the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and other major technology conferences, focus on 3D printing has grabbed consumer attention. Despite promising breakthroughs, many technology industry followers feel 3D is nothing more than a gimmick, though that is a mindset that 3D supporters continue to fight against.
"Now everybody knows about it and CEOs are telling their organizations to find out about 3D printing and how they're going to adopt it," said Bruce Bradshaw, Stratasys Marketing Director, when speaking to journalists. "That's the dynamic that has changed."
There is renewed focus on 3D printing as recent technological breakthroughs indicate hardware is a major step closer to mainstream. 3D printing gives designers the ability to conceptualize products and create real-world 3D renderings before going to mass production, with 3D renderings created layer by layer.
Looking ahead, 3D printing speed will increase, and the complexity of items printed will also mature as companies continue to push the boundaries.
3D printing will stir ethics, regulation debate, Gartner predicts
The 3D printing movement will see a strong boost from the biopharmaceutical industry, and that will bring about ethical and moral issues that need to be sorted out. Major ethical debates will likely take place by 2016, according to research firm Gartner, as developing nations and emerging markets should drive 3D demand.
Companies that have the ability to print human tissue and organs, for example, are well-intentioned, but there is very little medical precedent.
"3D bioprinting facilities with the ability to print human organs and tissue will advance far faster than general understanding and acceptance of the ramifications of this technology," claims Pete Basiliere, Gartner Research Director, in a statement. "These initiatives are well-intentioned, but raise a number of questions that remain unanswered. What happens when complex 'enhanced' organs involving nonhuman cells are made? Who will control the ability to produce them? Who will ensure the quality of the resulting organs?"
As 3D printing continues to increase, with increased health and biopharma implications, the debate needs to begin sooner rather than later.
3D printed food will help push 3D technology to the next level
Companies are testing the potential of 3D printed food in what could evolve into one of the biggest 3D market segments moving forward. During the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show earlier this month, a number of different companies showed off 3D printing technology, including several food-based products.
There are a number of different types of 3D-printed foods currently in various phases of development, and it will be an industry to watch in the future.
Chocolate maker Hershey's also teamed up with a 3D company to produce 3D printed chocolate, which will be a major draw for the company's gift shop. Cornell Creative Machines Lab has developed printers that can dough-based corn chips, while sugar candies also are available courtesy of 3D Systems' Chefjet.
NASA contractor Systems & Materials Research is working on a pizza printer that provides taste, nutrition, and less waste in the space shuttle and at the International Space Station (ISS).
3D printing also taking the fashion industry by storm
The fashion industry is embracing 3D technology at an accelerated pace, offering an early glimpse into what consumers can expect to see on store shelves in the years to come.
San Francisco clothing maker Continuum already offers wearable 3D printed clothing products, while running shoe maker New Balance is dabbling with printed shoes. The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has also demonstrated the latest generation of 3D clothing, which will help influence 3D printing in the fashion industry.
The cost of 3D printing is still extremely expensive, so average consumers likely won't print their own clothing, socks and shoes in the immediate future - but it's a fascinating market that continues to evolve at an accelerated rate.
Around 10 percent of all consumer products by 2025 will be 3D-related, according to recent industry estimates, though seems to be of interest to technology enthusiasts at this point. It will take additional time for 3D printing technology to develop - and clothing manufacturers to test 3D internally - before all retail stores offer 3D-printed clothing.
3D printed gun creator inks book deal, talks controversial activity
Cody Wilson, the person responsible for releasing the first fully 3D printable gun blueprint in 2013, has signed a $250,000 book deal with Simon & Schuster. Wilson approached several book publishers about Negative Liberty, the working title of the book, though some publishers felt he was trying to circumvent gun laws.
"The whole point to me is to add to the hacker mythology and to have a very, very accurate and contentious portrayal of what we think about the current political situation, our attitude and political orientation, a lasting remark," Wilson recently noted. "It won't be a manifesto. But culturally I hope to leave a couple of zingers... a touchstone for the young, disaffected radical towards his own political and social development, that kind of thing."
The 3D printable gun blueprint quickly racked up more than 100,000 downloads in just two days, and captured mainstream media attention. Suddenly, 3D printing technology, which is still in its relative infancy, caused a major debate about legality and ethics related to 3D printing.
3D print your baby while still in the womb
Expectant mothers can shell out between $200 to $600 for a 3D print model of their unborn child, thanks to the 3D Babies company. Using 3D and 4D ultrasounds and computer images leads to a 3D image in three different sizes: 2" Mini 3D Baby, 4" Halfsize 3D Baby, or the 8" Life size 3D Baby. The baby doll renderings can be made in two different positions, which allow parents to make a decision to disclose gender prior to birth.
"Our ultimate goal is to bring a smile to the faces of parents, grandparents, and other family members as they recall the day that they met their little one," the company's website reads. "This product will become a treasured family heirloom."
There is huge potential for 3D imaging, but an artist rendering of a fetus in the womb might creep some expectant parents out. 3D Babies is well short of its $15,000 crowdfunding goal, but decided to move ahead with production.
Hershey's partners with 3D Systems to work on new 3D printer
Chocolate maker Hershey's and 3D Systems recently announced a multi-year partnership to use 3D printers to create edible foods in the future. Hershey's is the only major food manufacturer to jump into 3D printing, as the overall cost of printing 3D food is still extremely expensive and remains difficult.
"We believe that innovation is key to delivering relevant, compelling consumer experiences with our iconic brands," said William Papa, Hershey's VP and Chief Research and Development Officer, in a statement. "Whether it's creating a whole new form of candy or developing a new way to produce it, we embrace new technologies such as 3D printing as a way to keep moving our timeless confectionery treats into the future."
3D printer technology is revolutionizing the industry at a rapid pace, and there is massive potential for 3D printed food and edibles down the road.

Vuzix developing see-through smart glasses for major hardware partner
Smart glass manufacturer Vuzix has entered a manufacturing partnership with a tier 1 partner to develop a new generation of see-through smart glasses. The undisclosed partner hasn't been announced, but the prototypes will use the Vuzix see-through optics engine, with the first phase to be completed in 2015.
Manufacturers are trying to develop new smart glasses that closely resemble designer eyewear, but additional research and development time is necessary.
"Many analysts and industry executives are expecting this space to exhibit continued rapid growth," said Paul Travers, Vuzix President, in a press statement. "This was evident at CES last week. With the anticipated growth in this sector, those wearable products that address the real needs of the customer stand to garner the largest market share."
Smart glasses and similar technologies were a big hit during the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), and wearable computing devices are expected to ship 485 million units by 2018, according to ABI Research.
IZON pushing forward with 3DTV technology, expected later this year
Television manufacturer IZON quietly showed off its own 3D high-definition TV capability during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), preparing consumers for glasses-free 3DTVs. The company unveiled 32-inch, 47-inch, and 55-inch 3DTVs that won't require glasses, which will be available to consumers sometime in the first half of 2014.
"IZON 3D TVs without glasses received an unprecedented response to its product line," said Joseph DiFrancesco, CEO of 3D Future Vision, which develops IZON TVs, in a press statement. "We experienced nothing but praise for the unparalleled picture quality of our products and look forward to executing our plans for a global roll-out during the coming year and beyond."
IZON used its HyperMix3D rendering technology to enjoy the hardware benefits of multi-core GPUs, and made sure to include a full 3D experience with minimal eyestrain.
HDTVs and 3D technology offered a big showing during CES, with a wide range of budget TVs to higher-end expensive models - and consumers have a wide variety of companies and products to choose from.

Baptist Body Balance: Indirect Calorimetry
What is Indirect Calorimetry?
Indirect calorimetry is an easy, proven technique to determine exactly how many calories your body needs each day. This quick and painless procedure is performed during an outpatient appointment at Baptist Health Lexington. You do not need to change clothes or perform any special exercise activities. You will have accurate information about how many calories your body needs each day to help you reach and maintain your desired body weight.
Is Indirect Calorimetry Something New?
This technique has been used for decades to help determine caloric needs. The equipment used at Baptist Health Lexington is considered the "gold standard" by experts in nutrition. We are now making this procedure available in an outpatient setting so that individuals can have the benefit of this state-of-the-art body analysis approach.
How is Indirect Calorimetry Better Than the Resources I Already Have?
Healthcare professionals have primarily used mathematical equations to predict the amount of calories individuals need. The result is an estimate and does not always prove to be reliable. Indirect calorimetry reveals your true metabolic rate (how your body uses food) by measuring the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide from your breathing. The device will measure the amount in (consumption) and the amount out (expired) which accurately shows your metabolic rate. In 30 minutes, you will know the exact number of calories you need each day.
Who Can Benefit From Indirect Calorimetry?
Anyone who is interested in achieving or maintaining a specific body weight can benefit from this procedure. Everyone's body is different, so it makes sense that a mathematical equation or Web-site calorie calculator does not work for everyone who is struggling with weight issues. Knowing the precise amount of calories your body needs will help you determine the right amount for you to eat each day, whether you want to lose weight, gain weight, or maintain a specific weight. Some of the individuals who could benefit from this knowledge include:
- Individuals who have been unsuccessful with other weight loss methods
- Individuals of all ages who are overweight
- Individuals with diabetes who are counting calories and/or carbohydrates
- Athletes
- Children who are not at ideal weight (under or overwheight)
- Individuals on restricted diets
- Individuals who want to maintain their current weight
- Individuals with any health-related complications (ex: blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis) that are caused or aggravated by being overweight.
What Do I Have to do for the Procedure?
Very little! You will be asked to fast (go without food) for 12 hours, therefore, your appointment will likely be in the morning hours. You will be asked to lie down in a quiet room and a qualified Respiratory Therapist will place a comfortable mask over your nose and mouth. You will be asked to relax and breathe normally while the device measures the oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in your breath. The procedure will last no more than 30 minutes.
What Happens With the Information From the Procedure?
Following your procedure, you will meet with a Baptist Health Lexington Registered Dietitian who will go over the information with you in detail, and provide you with an individualized meal plan to help you meet your body weight goals. The Registered Dietitian will provide you with reliable information about foods and nutrition so that you can succeed with your goals. In addition, follow-up appointment will be set to help support you along the way.
Where is the Procedure Performed?
Baptist Health Lexington main campus at 1740 Nicholasville Rd, Lexington, KY. Our location is convenient to New Circle Road as well as the downtown area. You will need to register at our Registration department. You will have your procedure performed in our Respiratory Therapy department, located on the fourth floor. A map will be sent to you to inform you about our free parking and registration needs.
What do I Need to do to Get an Appointment?
A physician's order is needed to set up your appointment for the procedure. Baptist Health Lexington's Outpatient Nutrition Services has made it easy for you and your physician. We have a simple referral form we can send (e-mail, regular mail or FAX) to your physician, and they can fill it out and send it back to us. As soon as we receive the permission, our staff will call you to set up and appointment to meet your scheduling needs. Our registration staff will also call you to start the registration process a day or two before your appointment.
Who Do I Call?
If you have questions about indirect calorimetry or want help to start the referral process, please call our Outpatient Nutrition Services at 859-260-5122.

- Step 1
Gather your supplies. You will want to select a variety of flowers for your basket. I chose a few bushes from the Spring and Summer selections at Michaels. I used 2 kinds of smaller bushes (and 2 of each), one large bush and a bush of large white flowers.
- Step 2
Fit the styrofoam base into your basket. I just so happened to find some that fit my basket perfectly, but you can always cut up pieces to fit. If your piece is loose, you can use some double sided tape to secure it.
- Step 3
Break apart your Spanish Moss and place a generous amount in your basket. This will make it appear more realistic.
- Step 4
Remove the tags from your flowers and trim the stems off of each bush.
- Step 5
Begin placing the stems through the moss and into the styrofoam. Be sure to make your flowers different lengths so your arrangement looks more natural.
- Step 6
Fill up your basket with flowers. Avoid open spots, as shown in the picture, and mix up your flowers so they are not all in one spot. You can remove and replace the stems until you get the look you want.
- Step 7
Once you've finished arranging the flowers, tie a bow to the basket handle. If you don't want to make your own bow, there are plenty that come ready to attach. For more creative projects, visit World of WarCrafts.

Ohio BWC Introduces More Changes to Affect Employers
There may be light at the end of the tunnel for thousands of Ohio state funded employers who have seen their workers' compensation premiums skyrocket since the implementation of the MIRA reserving system in 2002. The Ohio Legislature addressed employer's concerns about the veiled MIRA system in House Bill 100, which went into effect in 2007. Legislators mandated that the BWC implement a more transparent reserving system by the 2008 rate year, which began July 1, 2008.
The BWC's answer to HB 100 comes in the form of MIRA II, a new version of the much maligned reserving system that demonstrated no sensitivity to the uniqueness of Ohio's workers' compensation program. The BWC insists that MIRA II is not more of the same. In a June 19, 2008 open forum hosted by the BWC, Chief Actuarial Officer John Pedrick stated that the new MIRA II system has been designed around the payment pattern of individual claims. MIRA II has more intuitive "start and stop logic" written into the software code. In simpler terms, the software developer has built in many more rules regarding when a reserve should be placed on a claim, and when a reserve should be removed from a claim.
Here are some examples. Under the old MIRA system, the BWC would place a reserve on a claim before it has even been allowed through the Industrial Commission hearing process. With MIRA II, a reserve is not placed on a claim until the first payment is made from the claim. Similarly, the BWC used to place a reserve on an otherwise inactive claim upon the filing of a permanent partial impairment application (C92). If the permanent partial application was later denied, the employer may have been stuck with a reserve if it existed in the claim on the December 31 snapshot date, even though no award was ever paid out. With MIRA II, a reserve will not be placed until a permanent partial award is actually paid out. Additionally, if a claim has been inactive for at least 180 days prior to the filing of a C92, MIRA II will not place a reserve on the claim, even if an award is granted.
It is extremely important for employers to notify the BWC of significant events in a claim, such as a return to full duty work or a return to light duty work. As soon as the BWC is notified of a return to full duty work, MIRA II will start the clock running for 90 days, after which the reserve will be removed.
Is MIRA II "transparent" as required by HB 100? Not quite yet. The BWC plans to roll out a whole series of new web screens and downloadable reports that should be available in September 2008. The new web services will show an employer the reserve history of a claim, a weekly update to the reserve, and monthly reports showing all the payments made in a claim.
See the BWC Fact Sheet on the MIRA II reserving system at: https://www.ohiobwc.com/downloads/blankpdf/MIRAIIFactSheet.pdf.
Questions about MIRA II or any workers' compensation issue can be addressed by the Frost Brown Todd LLC workers' compensation department at (614)464-1211 or (513) 651-6800.

Unfortunately, These New Pieces of Concept Art From Pixar's Cancelled 'Newt' Are Totally Adorable
Movie News By Kate Erbland on January 3, 2013 | Be the First To CommentIt's not often that Pixar misfires on something but, if these newly-posted pieces of concept art for their cancelled feature Newt are any indication, the animation studio might have slipped up when it came to letting this one go. FirstShowing dug up some new concept art from the film, posted by illustrator Katy Wu (via The Pixar Times), and these charmingly adorable pieces join another cache of Newt pictures that FirstShowing also posted back in 2010. Newt was originally slated for a summer 2011 release (which is why you might remember seeing its cute little logo splashed around in 2010 and 2009), but was ultimately cancelled because its plotline was too similar to that of Rio, which opened in April of 2011. That film (a Blue Sky production) focused on a domesticated macaw whose owner discovers that he's the last male of his kind, leading them to travel to Rio de Janeiro to meet the last female of his kind to, you know, make some stuff happen. Which is why it's so unfortunate for Newt that the project was to center on the last remaining blue-footed newts who get tossed together to, ahem, again, make some stuff happen, though matters are complicated by the fact that they hate each other. If these concept pieces are to be believed, it looks like the two overcome their issues and have some great adventures, which is why it's just so sad that we'll most likely never get to see this project. Seriously, even […]

"Re/Inventions 2014: Nature+ ,
Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Conference
Thursday, April 10, 2014
Mission Statement
The students, faculty, and staff of the Department of English at California State University, Long Beach, are excited to announce Re/Inventions, the 3rd annual CSULB Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Conference for the Humanities.
Launched in 2012 with the theme of "Occupation," Re/Inventions is a conference conceived of and organized by students for students to provide a forum for scholarly discussion on a wide range of issues, questions, and salient views facing our world in the early twenty-first century. This year Re/Inventions 2014: Nature+ welcomes scholars from across the disciplines to submit abstracts that interrogate what it means to be natural, supernatural, or beyond nature, exploring both traditional definitions and contemporary views and the future implications of this area of thought.
Organized by a committee of English graduate students, encouraged by our Department Chair, Dr. Eileen Klink, and supported by the faculty and staff of the Department of English, the goal of the conference is to increase interest, exposure, and participation in post-baccalaureate academic pursuits by providing students with an opportunity to share their current work and areas of research. Designed with graduate students and advanced undergraduates in mind, Re/Inventions promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and participation among our Southern California CSUs, UCs, neighboring private colleges, and opens a dialogue to include participants from outside the state.
While this forum is intended for the presentation of scholarly articles, a limited number of creative submissions will also be considered. Multimedia presentations are also encouraged.

Let me make one other argument on behalf of China. The diary
doesn't have to focus on the energy/climate details that bore
people. But I still think the Obama-Hu meeting today was the
most important geopolitically.
Let me throw out two points:
(1) establishing good relations between US and China was Obama's
goal on this trip. That seems to have gone over pretty
successfully, but it is limited to image and atmospherics.
(2) But there is an alternative way to look at this. The two
sides don't trust each other, but they don't want any trouble
either. This has to do with China's vulnerability to the US, and
US preoccupations elsewhere. The economic crisis has reinforced
the mutual dependency. Both sides have gotten adept at
presenting their comfort with each other. (Obama reiterated
today that the US welcomes China's rise.)
(3) Meanwhile both the American and Chinese governments can use
the lack of trust for domestic support. Hence Obama's comments
on Tibet today. They were entirely unnecessary, both in terms of
relations, and in terms of their internal logic (US has never
doubted Tibet's status as part of China). At the same time, by
saying this, Obama got to "press" China on human rights,
gratifying his domestic audience. So both the US and China got a
domestic boost -- Hu got boosted because Obama himself has just
verbally undercut Tibetan "separatism," and Obama because he has
"taken China to task" on rights.

Iraq vs. Russia..........
Sectarian battles in Iraq over election law. This is pretty
complicated, but the overall point is that Iraq is still hanging
on by a thread while the US has been treating this war as
yesterday's news. This is incredibly important and we don't need
to get into two many
details. Just talk about the dispute over the seat allocation
and the threat of veto and how it could delay the election. From
there we can make the case that at a time when the Obama admin
is still struggling with how to prosecute the "good war", the
"bad war" could erupt again.
Russia-EU summit starts tomorrow & energy is the focus. What is
important is that Russia is making a major effort to convince
the continent that it is a realizable energy partner (with the
energy security pact signed just before this summit) and that it
doesn't politicize energy.... just before Russia starts a
project that is PURELY political and will cut out a good chunk
of the continent on energy.
This is one of (if not the) Russia's best geopolitical tools.
This is how Russia creates allies and cuts out antagonists.
It is a brilliant foreign policy scheme.

"I made this a while back and just realized I never reviewed it. It was fabulous - used tomatoes and eggplant from the garden, made just as written. I served it as a side, but I would be perfectly happy eating a plateful as my whole meal. I couldn't stay out of the leftovers."
"This was my first try at an Eggplant Parmesan (we had an abundance of eggplants from the garden), and it was excellent! I used about 2 1/2 medium sized eggplants, about 10 ounces of mozzarella, and a good quality jarred marinara sauce. I also had some home-grown fresh basil, and that really makes a difference in the dish.I had 3 layers in a 9-inch..."
"This was really tasty, cut nicely, and the whole family enjoyed it. I did make just a few changes - I left out the corn meal, and used a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes (tomatoes with peppers) instead of plain crushed tomatoes, which gave it a little more bite. I also sprinkled some chopped jalapenos on top. This will be part of our regular rotation!"

I used a meat thermometer and took it out when it read 130, but it kept cooking more than I wanted it to and was more done than I would have liked.

"This is a wonderful tasting and easy to make dish! The spinach was just perfect using the hot pasta water - cooked but not mushy.

I could eat this as a meal in itself."

The fact that jojoba oil is the second ingredient in this body scrub makes it unsuitable for blemish-prone skin. However, the oil keeps the detergent cleansing agent sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate from being as drying as it typically is. This is otherwise a very basic scrub whose cinnamon bark content isn't going to do your skin any favors. Overall, it is a problematic formula that fights against itself, putting your skin in the boxing ring as well.The inclusion of 1% salicylic acid may seem helpful, but this anti-acne superstar is of little use in a rinse-off product because its contact with skin is too brief for it to be effective. For best results, treat acne from the neck down with a leave-on products that contains salicylic acid, such as Paula's Choice Weightless Body Treatment with 2% BHA.
Salicylic acid clears up acne blemishes while glycolic acid complex and oil absorbing ingredients help produce flawless, clear skin. Soft, ultra-fine jojoba beads work in two ways. First, they help exfoliate surface dead skin cells without irritation, allowing acne treatment products to penetrate better. Then, the ultra- fine jojoba beads help open clogged pores and emulsify the sebum that contributes to blackheads and whiteheads.
Active: Salicylic Acid (1%) Other: Water, Hydrogenated Jojoba Oil, Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Carbomer, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Disodium Cocoamphodipropionate, Glycolic Acid, Arginine, Cinnamomum Zeylancum Bark Extract, Allantoin, Disodium EDTA, Sarcosine, Capryloyl Glycine, Propylene Glycol, BHA, BHT, Diazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben ,Yellow 5, Fragrance
Unique in the world of spa and salon specialty lines, Peter Thomas Roth is a large but straightforward line with mostly uncomplicated formulations that, for the most part, are quite good and state-of-the-art. Unlike many product lines, most of the acne, AHA, BHA, sunscreen, and moisturizing products contain what they should to be effective and helpful for skin.
A novel aspect of this line is that there are few (if any) nonsense ingredients. Roth products conspicuously lack the exotic, potentially irritating, sensitizing, and often unnecessary plant extracts and the irritating, fragrant plant oils that show up in most pricey skin-care lines, especially spa lines. Many of these products don't have fragrance, and they lack the long lists of ingredients that are often unnecessarily complicated. Even more impressive are the well-formulated cleansers, sunscreens, AHA products, and skin lighteners. The moisturizers have improved somewhat, and most are now packaged so that the light- and air-sensitive ingredients remain stable. In fact, Roth's packaging deserves special mention because it is exceptionally utilitarian and gender-friendly. No pretty pink bottles, sexy curved jars, or bejeweled caps—all of which reinforce the clinical nature of Peter Thomas Roth. Overall, this line should be admired for its simplicity and, for the most part, for its well-thought-out formulations.
After all that glowing praise there are a few embarrassing missteps to avoid, such as products that contain hydrogen peroxide, which can cause free-radical damage and hurt skin; irritating acne products that contain sulfur; unimpressive masks (odd for a spa-oriented line); and a bumper crop of products claiming to affect expression lines and wrinkles in a manner similar to cosmetic corrective procedures.

Perineoplasty is a surgery that is designed to either tighten or loosen the perineal muscles of the vagina. Perineoplasty is also sometimes called perineorraphy.
According to Los Angeles urologist Dr. Michael Safir, "The most common type of perineoplasty we perform is a tightening perineoplasty." Many women who have had difficult vaginal deliveries suffer from torn or weakened perineal muscles. Women who have gained weight may also find that their perineum has stretched and the muscles have loosened. Some women may also elect to have perineoplasty because they find their muscles have become lax as they've gotten older. By undergoing a tightening perineoplasty procedure, these women are able to have their perineum tightened, restoring their natural anatomy.
Often, perineal damage is accompanied by some type of pelvic prolapse. Because Dr. Safir specializes in pelvic floor reconstruction, he can perform pelvic prolapse surgery to correct cystocele (bladder prolapse) or rectocele (rectal prolapse) at the same time as the perineoplasty procedure.
Many patients have perineoplasty as part of a total vaginal restoration. Total vaginal restoration comprises several different procedures designed to address both aesthetic and functional concerns. These procedures include labiaplasty, vaginoplasty, and perineoplasty.
Another type of perineoplasty is designed to loosen the perineal muscles of the vagina. Women who experience painful intercourse – a condition called dyspareunia - due to an overly tight vaginal entry find that this type of perineoplasty surgery allows them to enjoy intercourse, whereas before it had always been a painful ordeal.
As there are multiple types of perineoplasty, the exact procedure will vary according to your needs.
Sedatives and pain relievers are administered to reduce anxiety
If the perineoplasty is being performed as part of a total vaginal restoration, or in addition to other pelvic floor repairs, such as correction of pelvic prolapse, these will be performed concurrently, and the procedure will take longer.
Dr. Michael Safir is not only a board-certified urologist; he is also a nationally-renowned urologic surgeon. He specializes in the rapidly developing field of reconstructive urology. Dr. Safir is one of only a handful of urologists worldwide to have completed separate fellowship training in reconstructive female urology surgery (at UCLA) and male genitourinary surgery (at UCSF). The American Board of Medical Specialties has just recently recognized female pelvic reconstructive surgery as a distinct subspecialty.
Dr. Safir lectures at medical conventions and seminars, and travels throughout the country training other urologists and gynecologists in the latest, advanced techniques for surgical treatment of urinary incontinence and pelvic prolapse.

Olympus XZ-1
- Category: Digital Cameras
April 25, 2011
Editor's Rating
- Easy to use menu system
- Manual & automatic modes
- Unique control ring
- RAW shooting
- No hand grip
- Sub-par video quality
- Some images are underexposed
- Unfriendly manual focus controls
The Olympus XZ-1 is a 10-megapixel digital camera that features automatic and manual controls, RAW shooting, a hot shoe and a 3-inch OLED display. While targeted at more experienced photographers that don't want to spend a lot of money for good image quality, this camera does a decent job but still falls a little short due to a few disappointments.
The Olympus XZ-1 is not small enough to fit into a pocket easily, but it isn't large enough to not be portable by any means. It measures 4.3 x 2.5 x 1.6-inches (whd) and weighs 9.7-ounces. It comes in three color choices: black, silver and white. There is no raised hand grip, which makes one-handed shooting a little uncomfortable because it feels like it can be easily dropped. The body does feel well-built and sturdy, which is always a plus.
The backside of the camera features a 3-inch OLED display with minimal buttons, including a four-way navigation pad/scroll wheel, menu, info and playback buttons as well as a dedicated button for recording video. There's also a toggle at the upper left corner on the back for popping up the flash. The top of the camera is where the power button, zoom toggle and mode-selector dial is located. There is also a hot shoe on the top for mounting accessories. There is no optical viewfinder, so using the backside display is a must for framing shots.
Some of the accessories for the hot shoe include macro lighting, external flashes, a stereo microphone and the Olympus PEN's eye-level EVF viewfinder. This allows more experienced photographers to go above the standard set of features while not intimidating the lesser experienced user.
Olympus includes a unique control ring around the lens of the XZ-1 digital camera that provides quick and easy access to some of the camera's more advanced features, like aperture and shutter priority mode. While using the control ring, you can turn it to adjust the manual mode that you're in. It's a really nice feature that makes using the camera a little more easier, but oddly enough, you can't use the control ring to manually zoom the lens, which would've seemed like an obvious feature. Instead you have to use the scroll wheel on the back in conjunction to a rectangle box on the display, which can be quite difficult to use at times.
Some of the specifications of the Olympus XZ-1 include a 10-megapixel resolution, 4x optical zoom, an aperture range of f/1.8-2.5, a focal length of 6-24mm and JPEG/RAW shooting modes. ISO levels range from 3200 to 100 and a shutter speed has a maximum of 0.0005 and minimum of 5. The types of memory cards supported include SD, SDHC and SDXC cards. Videos can be recorded at 1280 x 720-pixels at 30 frames per second. This is 720p HD quality and videos are saved in AVI format. HD video can be exported to an HDTV via an HDMI-mini output built-into the Olympus XZ-1.
There are many scene modes to help bring out your creativity and to help you get the best shot possible. There are in-camera editing tools to allow you to do basic things like adjust the brightness, contrast, fix red-eye and do some cropping and resizing. These in-camera edits are saved as an additional image, which preserves your original image. Olympus' iAuto mode lets users change the focus settings to give certain effects and to tweak things like aperture and shutter settings. Every setting has an explanation of what they do and what setting is best for what shooting condition, which is great for novice users looking to learn while shooting.
In subjective image tests, the Olympus XZ-1 produced images that earned a rating of "good". It was held back by some underexposure and some issues with color accuracy. However we found the images to be very sharp regardless and didn't show any visible lens distortion. Shooting decent images was possible in low-light conditions while using the "low light" setting on the mode dial, but they did show noticeable noise.
Video quality was, unfortunately, not this camera's strong suit at all and earned a rating of "below average". This was due to dull colors in bright light conditions and poor audio quality. Low-light conditions resulting in sepia-colored video that was very dark.
The CIPA rating for battery life is 320 shots, which is on par with most other similar cameras.

Yurnero the Juggernaut is a melee agility hero whose abilities allow him to sprint into battle and recklessly devastate enemies in an impenetrable flurry of blades.
His abilities grant invulnerability and spell immunity, turning him into an unstoppable force on a hairpin. Juggernaut is strong both offensively and defensively, and deals heavy damage both physical and magical with his Blade Fury and Omnislash ultimate, but he possesses below average strength and intelligence attributes, so he does not have as much health and mana as other heroes and is vulnerable when his abilities are on cooldown. For this reason, although his abilities make him powerful even in the early game, he cannot charge into forces without restraint until farmed and is usually played as a carry.
Healing Ward | ||||||||||||||||||
Recommended Items[edit]
Early-game items:
Core items:
- Blade Fury allows the Juggernaut to deal massive amounts of damage early game, especially if you take Boots of Speed early on or have a teammate with a disable. Always try to lane with heroes such as Crystal Maiden, Lion, Venomancer and Shadow Shaman to increase your potential. If you have boots, and the enemy does not, look to be aggressive with Blade Fury.
- Blade Fury can be used as an escape mechanism due to its spell immunity. Using it alongside Healing Ward can result in escaping even the most difficult situations.
- Blade Fury works great in combination with the Move command. After starting Blade Fury, use the Move command on the enemy hero to automatically follow him and maximize the spell's damage output.
- Omnislash works best if you catch an enemy hero away from their creeps. Time it well to avoid wasting hits on creeps, and ensure your enemy doesn't have any blink or invisibility spells, as those will cause your ultimate to not affect them.
- Healing Ward is a great way to keep pushes going and heal yourself. Make sure you don't neglect it!
- Taking the Attribute Bonus rather than Healing Ward and Blade Dance at very early levels may be a good idea due to your high mana costs and lack of survivability. Focusing on attributes and Blade Fury up until you can get Omnislash makes you far more viable in survivability and mana management.
- Do not be fooled into thinking you are hard to kill while using Blade Fury. Enemies who have a high amount of physical damage, such as Drow Ranger or Sven, will be able to deal heavy damage to you even if you are under Blade Fury's effects.
- Watch out for any enemy hero/heroes who have the ability to become Ethereal. Ethereal heroes caught by Omnislash will be left unhurt and will only cause you to waste precious slashes. However, you can buy a diffusal blade to purge the Ethereal state.
- If you going to Hard Carry the game,Battle Fury its an excellent pickup,it will accelerate you farm with the 35% cleave plus the bonus mana and health regen that will make better use of your abillities,also you will farm the other core items like Aghanim's Scepter much faster if the Battle Fury is rush first.
- Experienced Juggernaut players can use a Blink Dagger in order to continue an Omnislash if there are targets some distance away. However, the item must be used after a slash.
- While not shown under Situational Items, Mjollnir is a very good item to get on Juggernaut. With the lowest base attack time, increasing his attack speed and damage makes him a deadly auto-attacker, as well as being a cheaper alternative to Butterfly. In addition, the Chain Lightning from Maelstrom & Mjollnir aid him greatly for pushing the lanes and farming the jungle.
- For Juggernaut players who wish to be more tank-like or have purchased plenty of attack speed- and damage-boosting items, Satanic is an excellent late game pick-up. Satanic's large strength boost, armor, and Active ability mesh very well with Juggernaut's high attack speed, vastly enhancing his survivability in team fights.
- Sange and Yasha its a fair pick in Juggernaut,since he doesnt' have any close gap skills,this item will provide nice stats and 16% movespeed to help chase better,the speed will increase if you have Phase Boots,also the greater maim helps slowing down fleeing enemies.
- Juggernaut's ultimate, Omnislash, is inspired by and named after the signature move of Cloud Strife from the game Final Fantasy VII. [1]
- The rare line Play "Screw it, I'm going to five blades!" is a reference to an article from The Onion about the increasing number of blades put into razors.[2]
- The line Play "My blade is swifter." is a reference to the Heroes of Newerth hero Swiftblade, the game's own equivalent of Juggernaut.[3]
- The line Play "And then... there were none..." may be a reference to the Agatha Christie book by the same name.
- Juggernaut is tied with Oracle for the lowest Base Attack Time (BAT) in the game of any Hero unbuffed by spells (only Alchemist with level 2 and 3 Chemical Rage reaches a lower BAT). However, because of Juggernaut's large Agility growth and it being his Primary Attribute, he benefits far more from Attack Speed and Agility than Oracle.

GANDER, N.L. - The leader of the Liberal Party in Newfoundland and Labrador says a fall election is on his mind as he and other party members head into a party convention this weekend.
Dwight Ball says he thinks voters deserve a chance to vote on an incoming Tory premier who hasn't been elected.
Ball says the party convention in Gander will be a part of the party's efforts to build a campaign machine that can fight a general election as soon as premier-designate Frank Coleman calls it.
The Liberals are leading in the polls, and the party recently held a successful fundraiser in St. John's where about 500 people showed up for a $500-a-plate dinner.
John Allan, who will take over as provincial Liberal party president during the weekend, said money is a big part of the party's mandate in the next year.
The party still has about $800,000 in debt.

Her training in the Germanic conducting tradition was impeccable, but it came at a tremendous emotional price. While under Muck's tutelage, she'd gone to Holland to be reunited with her mother's family and had promptly fallen in love with an uncle who was only nine years her senior. Their affair ended scandalously, with the guilt-ridden uncle returning to his suicidal ex-wife and Brico left almost destitute. Judging from Brico's diaries and unpublished interviews, one of the principal hurdles in their romance was Brico's single-minded obsession with conducting. Other youthful flings with a deaf sculptor in Finland, a motorcyclist in Latvia--and, apparently, with women as well, an aspect of her sexuality that Brico admitted to very few people--had to take a backseat to her career.
According to a new biography of Anais Nin by Deirdre Bair, at one point Brico sought out the novelist for some amateur psychoanalysis--which Nin provided, while privately scorning Brico as a kind of sexual predator. But in light of Nin's own neurotic eroticism and penchant for experimentation, it remains an open question as to who was preying on whom.
Donna Ellis recalls coming across letters--since lost--from Nin to Brico while moving Brico's papers in the 1950s. "Antonia probably destroyed them because they were very, very private," Ellis says. "I should not have read them, but I found them when I was cleaning out the attic. They were very traumatic letters."
Pressed for details, Ellis says, "They were just--traumatic. I guess it's a good thing I've forgotten them."
In 1930 Brico made her world debut as conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, followed by an American debut at the Hollywood Bowl before an audience of 30,000 people. Both concerts were enormous critical successes, but the entrenched resistance to women in the field was formidable. After New York baritone John Charles Thomas refused to perform with a female conductor, Brico was abruptly replaced in the middle of a series of concerts at the Met.
Brico's solution to sexism was to band together with other underemployed female musicians in what became known as the New York Women's Symphony. The 86-piece orchestra made its debut in 1935 and was an instant sensation, drawing support from society matrons and even Eleanor Roosevelt. There were other women's symphonies in Los Angeles, Philadelphia and a few other cities, but under Brico's direction, the New York ensemble outclassed them all, earning a reputation as an ambitious interpreter of romantic and early modern composers, including, most notably, Sibelius, the most popular living composer of the time.
Like Muck before him and Schweitzer in years to come, Sibelius was another Brico mentor. She had sought him out at his isolated home in a Finnish forest, arriving unannounced, in the middle of a downpour, with no knowledge of the language. Her devotion to his work eventually led Sibelius to describe her as his "sixth daughter," the only conductor who interpreted his work the way he intended it to be performed. Brico was one of the few visitors Sibelius welcomed in his reclusive later years, and the pair engaged in a lengthy correspondence that endured until the composer's death in 1957.
Brico's orchestra didn't last nearly as long. An all-female ensemble, she realized, was a trap, a novelty item. To be taken seriously, she had to be able to audition the best player for each position, regardless of gender, but when she added a few male musicians for one concert, the feminists who'd supported her felt betrayed. SHE NEEDED MEN, hissed the headline in the New York Mirror.
After four seasons Brico decided to integrate the whole orchestra. Subscriptions declined dramatically, and the renamed "Brico Symphony" folded that year.
"I am not a feminist. I am a musician. Music and art have no sex," Brico defiantly told reporters. But when it came time to pay the bills, sex mattered.
Brico visited Denver for the first time in the spring of 1940. Jean Cranmer, wife of the man who carved out Denver's mountain parks system, took her on a tour of Red Rocks; the Denver Post ran a huge photo of her on the front page, pleading for (the caption said) A CHANCE FOR WOMEN. The thin, clean air agreed with her sinuses, which had become hypersensitive to Manhattan's soot and smoke; the publicity agreed with her, too.
She returned later that year to guest-conduct the Denver Symphony Orchestra. A few months after that, she was back in town directing Brahms's "German Requiem" and had spent her savings to move her music studio to Lincoln Street, with an apartment around the corner. It was a dramatic break from her life in New York, but Brico believed she had made the necessary contacts in Denver--influential society women such as Jean Cranmer, Margaret Phipps and Margaret Evans Davis, of the powerful Evans clan--to win a permanent post with the DSO.
At the time, the Denver symphony was in the process of shedding its quasi-amateur status and searching for a full-time conductor. Brico had every expectation of taking the podium; leaving nothing to chance, she made a point of letting her new friends know about her ties to Sibelius and Muck, her fabled meetings with Igor Stravinsky and Richard Strauss, her privileged status as one of the few people who could breeze into a Toscanini rehearsal at will. But in 1945, after months of flirting with guest conductors, the symphony board gave the job to Saul Caston, first trumpet and associate conductor of the Philadelphia Symphony under Eugene Ormandy.
