The higher the levels of phthalates in the mother during pregnancy, the more likely the researchers were to find the shortened AGD.

It came from the Blog: Serving Azeroth's orphans
We are keeping it totally and completely casual -- I don't want to give up on my own usual characters, and you likely don't want to give up yours -- so there's absolutely no pressure to level up at all. We're just planning on making it a fun place to hang out once a week or so. While we will probably be around at various times throughout the week (I'll be working my way up to 19 so I can get a good WSG group going), our next organized game night will be Wednesday, June 6th at 7 pm EST. The Darkmoon Faire will be in Elywnn Forest then, I'm told, so we'll lead a Horde lowbie party into the Human starting area to run some tonk wars, shoot the cannon, drink some ale (and start some drunken fights with Alliance), and have a grand ol' time.
So mark your calendar, and in the meantime feel free to roll your own alt and come join us on Zangarmarsh. When you need a break from hardcore endgame raiding, or just want to come meet and greet all of us here at WoW Insider, we'll see you there.

Press releases
New Media Maze to Promote Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind DVD
01 October 2004, London, UK
New Media Maze to Promote Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind DVD
New Media Maze to Promote Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind DVD with DTHML Online Advertising
New Media Maze http://www.newmediamaze.com, the full-service interactive marketing agency is to promote the Momentum Pictures http://www.momentumpictures.co.uk Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind DVD.
The film written by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Michel Gondry tells the story about an introverted man Joel Barish (Jim Carrey), who meets an extroverted woman Clementine Kruczynski (Kate Winslet). Their relationship goes wrong and Joel wants her back, but only to find out she has had him erased from her memory, through medical technology company. He then in turn tries to do the same. The movie also stars Elijah Wood (Patrick), Kirsten Dunst (Mary) and Tom Wilkinson (Dr. Howard Mierzwiak).
The campaign that runs from the beginning of October 2004 will connect with women aged between 18 and 45 years old, and are Charlie Kaufman fans.
Hayley Barker, Account Director at New Media Maze explains, "We will be running DHTML banners across iVillage, The Sun and Virgin.net to raise awareness of the release and drive sales of the title. All creative includes a click to buy button where the return on investment (ROI) can be measured."
Kristin Ryan, Product Manager at Momentum Pictures UK http://www.momentumpictures.co.uk comments, "New Media Maze will be using online PR; and promotions on female, DVD, movie and entertainment websites is to communicate the release online, which will tie into reviews and competitions in offline media. For the competitions we are running, entrants can win copies of the DVD, in addition to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind film merchandise."
The DTML banner focuses upon a key poignant moment in the film, with creative working around that scene where Carey and Winslet are laying on a frozen lake. The lake cracks, and the creative then plays a clip of the film followed by telling users when then film is out to buy with a 'click to buy' link.
Designing and creating a DHTML which reflects the stylised look and feel of this literally mind blowing film was challenging. Ensuring perfect placement for the creative to deliver the greatest maximum impact on the campaign is crucial, so we have selected websites which are able to deliver the technology required to maximise the ads impact, which is inline with the target audience." adds Barker.
----Notes to editors----

Just wondering? I see a lot of white cabinets with white subways on this site (but I have never seen one in person.) I think the look is fresh and clean, but also a little, dare I say, "boring." I like the look very much myself. I also see it a lot on the food network cooking shows (Ina, Giada, Sandra Lee.) I am stressing about chosing just the right tile/color/finish white subway. I am a little afraid I may tire of it because it is so plain. So, I am taking a straw poll of all white subway tile folks. How do you feel about them now that the kitchen is completed. Any photos would be great, especially would like to know if you did anything special above the stove area for some added interest. Thanks!

Follow-Up Postings:
I have a 1913 home, so for many like me subway tiles (along with creamy cabinets and soapstone counters) is not only a classic look but one that fits the period look of the house. My bathrooms also reflect the period with subway tile, pedestal sinks, hex floor tile, etc. Plus, you can dress up and change out such a "neutral" look any way you want with wall paint, colorful pottery, window dressing, rugs, etc. Personally, since I don't want to have to re-do a kitchen every ten years or so I like a "timeless" look. Backsplash tile of various types can look very dated very quickly. . . |
I just posted a question about subway tiles over on the bathroom forum. I am mainly wondering why subway tiles are considered "classic" and square tiles are considered "dated." They both have been used for centuries. |
Good point ncamy! I currently have white square tiles in my master bath and I HATE them. They look dated, just like you said. I have tried painting the bathroom a beautiful light blue with plush towels to give it a spa feel, but the tiles are just not feeling it! I agree that the subway tiles are perfect for a true farmhouse or in a classic turn of the century kitchen or kitchen in an older home, because they "belong" there. But should we all be doing the subway tiles? Don't get me wrong, I think they look great, but will they be the white square tiles of the 1980's-90's? More importantly, do the folks that have them, still think they were the right choice? Or do you think you will tire of them soon? |
- Posted by circuspeanut (My Page) on Tue, Jul 27, 10 at 12:49
If I didn't have an old house I would probably not have gone for subway tiles, because I think they will not age well in other contexts (or at least look not 'fresh' as you say, having been featured so often in the design world these past 5 years). That said, mine are a non-fashionable color (plain glossy yellow ceramic) so it's a warmer feel than the stark Victorian white. Two years and counting, & I still love them unnaturally. :-) But I don't think they will ever be a mistake. On the square tiles, which are indeed also a classic, could it possibly be the surface (are they matte, glossy, bevelled?) or the size of the square that makes them feel more dated? |
I hope I'm not tired of it already.....we haven't even grouted yet! I went with a mix of sizes and laid the different sizes in different directions. Hopefully that will help me feel like the look stays updated for a LONG time! I don't think DH(who installed the counter to ceiling backsplash) would be too happy taking it down anytime soon. |
Just got ours done about a month ago. Not boring at all. Super classy looking and I got them at Lowes (American Olean) so also super cheap! A BREEZE to clean up. Believe me, I am the kind of woman who wears pink and orange together, mixes prints and has affection for hairbows (and not in the Fascinating Womanhood kind of way). But I love it! I have other points of interest around my kitchen but see my wall of white as an anchor of calm. Kind of like a little black dress that can be dressed up or down depending on the accessories. |
Here is a link that might be useful: my subs (forgive the mess :)
Gina, check out this pic, too. It is white tile with white grout but installed stacked. See how the yellow pottery in the niche really adds interest? Of course, that $40,000 range doesn't hurt either ;) On my blog I have a whole collection of white subway tile pics, but you can do a Google Image search and see that people really do use it as a background, often, for some interesting design ideas. Good luck! Honestly, it is one of the most plebeian things in my kitchen...and those are the things it turns out that I love the most. |

Not tired of mine, but I also didn't do them entirely plain. I added a liner -- or 3 liners to be more accurate. I have also like subway tile since I was young. |

Sabjimata: 1. When will you be posting your comleted pics? I can't WAIT to see your kitchen. (Or did I miss it somehow?) 2. Please post a link to your blog; our tastes seem very similar and I'm sure your blog would be a goldmine of ideas for me. Gina: I personally find subway tile much more interesting with a darker grout, like so: The trick here is to space the tiles very close together and use a medium-to-dark gray grout, not black, which would be too stark a contrast. |
- Posted by chana_goanna (My Page) on Tue, Jul 27, 10 at 16:15
Oops...meant to add that to space them this close together and get this sort of look, they need to be very flat and regular on the edges. Not sure if that fits what you've picked out. |
I love mine and have not gotten tired (Two years and counting). (They're in the bathrooms and I will probably use them in the kitchen as well). The powder room has biscuit colored crackle subways with brown grout (wood doors and trims, green marble floor). The master bath is pure white 4x8 subways on all walls to within about 8 inches of the ceiling, with a cornice molding set at this level. The room is all white with Carrara floors, washstand, tub surround, thresholds. Works well in this 1927 house. The bathroom is my favorite room! I worried about subways being a trend and they are, but they are also a good fit with the age and style of the house. The little back bathroom which still has original tiles (white squares) doesn't look that different, from a styling perspective, from the new new master bath. |
Still love mine, but it's only been about 9 months, and they are bigger than normal (6x8). I also have dark grout. Maybe all that helps... |
segbrown- I love that yours are bigger than the standard 3x6. Also, you say that you have dark grout, is it grey? I can't really tell, but it does make it more interesting. Are your tiles glossy or matte. I don't know if I would like the darker grout with glossy tile. I am thinking about doing the glossy absolute black counters, so I probably should use a matte tile. |

I am doing a white kitchen (maple cab)w/ wh. arabesque tile backsplash in a brand new custom home. I had white cab.before w/no regrets.We went round and round w/glaze/cherry/and everything in between but in the end we love them! |
ginad, they are glossy, but not terribly so. And the grout is gray, Pewter I think. Also, our uppers are a few inches higher than "normal," I think they are 23" above the counter. So that's one thing to think about when considering the larger tiles. |
Segbrown, I love your black farmhouse sink. What color is you counter? Is it granite? dazzlingdiamond - Are arabesque tiles the new thing? I have seen a few of them posted on this site? |
Things come and things go. I used square tiles (4x4) for my bathrooms 10 years ago. They are both neutral soft creamy yellowish colors with handmade accent tiles. They look "dated" because NO one uses square tiles now. Slate and marble 12x12 tiles in baths from 10 years ago also look very dated now. We all did/do things that were "in" at the time... However, my bathrooms still look "nice" to me because of the colors I have chosen and the style of the bathrooms that I have chosen work together very nicely. Who knows how long subway tiles will be "in". But eventually, they too will be dated. That is the nature of fashion and trend. If you like it because you simply like them, then you should use them. If you are not certain about the look, then you should do something else that really speaks to you. I personally find them a tad busy to brick pattern of lines. I feel the same way about tex tiles. |
Seg's sink and counters are soapstone ;) Chana--Thanks! I will post *finished kitchen* pics soon. I finally got everything all cleaned up yesterday and now waiting for husband to change out the awful yellowish cfl's to a middle spectrum light. Oh, and now I have to clean up from all of yesterday's ravioli making ;) My blog is sabjimata.wordpress.com Take care! |
I think it's a matter of what you like, but I don't know that anyone can predict how long these will appear "classic" and not "dated". I first noticed them in the 80s in Country Living magazine spreads on renovations of older homes and loved the look then. I have never grown tired of it. I ended up only doing a small backsplash behind my stove with them but will use them elsewhere on a larger scale (bathroom). That's over 20 years of liking the look of something. I'm not sure anything else endured in my tastes that long! But that's just one opinion from a person who is NOT trendy or knowledgeable about these things. |
I know it can be an expense, but the backsplash is one of the easiest things to change. So, in a few years from now if you get tired of the tiles, change them! Don't feel that you are stuck for the life of the kitchen. |

Here's the thing: if it looks right in the rest of your house it's not going to look dated. Context is everything. Walking into a white-cabinet, white-subway-tiled, soapstone-countered kitchen in a brand new house can look dated any minute now if it is jarring from the rest of the house. Walking into that same kitchen in a 1915 frame farmhouse will not have the same effect. Do the kitchen that matches the personal style of your furnishings (if it is newer) or is appropriate for your house (if it is historic). |

My house is transitional..Kind of Horchow meets Pottery Barn? IMO rooms don't need to match but I do carry an element to each room...I saw Beekeepers wife's tile and fell in love.They are expensive but I budgeted them in and cut back in other areas.I personally think they have a clean,classic,look w/out being boring.I chose a blk.chandelier and ebony stained floors.Go w/your heart! |
I had the subway tiles in my bath and shower and actually got so tired of it after about 6 years I had it riped out and a more natural stone tile installed.. The grout lines where white and also sealed but we still could not keep them clean. My experience was very bad after a little while it looked dirty unless cleaned everyday.... I see so many people using and it does look very good when new but after a while I spent more time cleaning it then the rest of the house. I'm glad I made the switch to a more of a natural stone tile. Good luck |

hi ginad... I happen to catch a bit of the movie "Moonstruck" last night, with Cher and Nicolas Cage. It must be a 20 year old film or so... Anyway, the kitchen had white subway tiles. I think it's a pretty classic look. My sister remodeled her kitchen a few months before me, and her tile guy "friend" talked her out of them. She regrets that, even though her backsplash came out very nice and compliments her kitchen. If you really like the look then I doubt that you will regret the choice. I will throw in a picture of mine, as mine are slightly different than the uniform white. I didn't do anything fancy over the stove. I was afraid it would get tiring. I figure I can put something decorative if I need to jazz it up. KA:) |
I did an "almost" white subway backsplash three years ago. Honed marble with faint gray veins. Still love them and if I get sick of my kitchen, I can always change out the paint color, rugs and/or window treatments. |
oh, i have this question, too! i just saw the uber cheap 3x6 white subways at lowes and am tempted to go with them. not quite the off-white color i had picked out in a smaller size, but much much cheaper, and hopefully the same effect (to blend in w/ the white/gray countertops and not stand out). good to see pictures of different colored grouts! i would have only thought to use white. |

We have just started a kitchen renovation in a 1910 house and are using cream-colored Pratt & Larson 3x6 subway tiles, lots of them, and glossy! The counters and cabinetry are very matte (soapstone and vertical grain fir) as is the floor (cork) and so we think the glossy tiles will look good with a fireclay sink and enameled range. We, too, plan to use grey grout. I can understand your concern about subway tiles being ubiquitous, but I never get tired of seeing them in the right context -- consider how pretty the posted pictures are in this thread! And when I looked through the fabulous, no-holds-barred Pratt & Larson catalog, I admit that the photograph that most delighted me was the simplest treatment of a bathroom wall: creamy subway tile with grey grout. |
- Posted by niabassett (My Page) on Thu, Mar 31, 11 at 2:48
Thanks for posting this question. For several years now I have wanted white subway tiles in my kitchen. Now that I am at the point of actually remodeling the space, I was offended when it was brought up that subway tiles might be so popular that it's possible I'd tire of them before too long. I rejected the idea for a long time. And by rejected, I mean that it made me really mad. Anyway, I'm now starting to think that there might be some truth to this (for me, anyway) and am glad that I am able to be honest with myself about this new change in direction, even though I still love the look of subway tiles in a kitchen. |

[909] PTEN Protein Loss by IHC Is an Adverse Prognostic Indicator in a High Risk Surgical Cohort of Prostate Cancer Patients
TL Lotan, S Sutcliffe, B Gurel, BH Park, E Humphries, AW Partin, M Han, PC Walsh, AM De Marzo. Johns Hopkins Hospitals, Baltimore, MD
Background: PTEN is a tumor suppressor commonly inactivated in prostate cancer. While studies have shown that PTEN deletions and protein loss are more common in advanced prostate cancers, no prior studies examined whether PTEN protein loss in tumors from men treated by radical prostatectomy (RRP) is associated with time to metastasis or prostate cancer-specific death. Further, some deletions at the PTEN locus are focal and difficult to detect with FISH. Thus, we examined PTEN loss by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in a series of prostate cancer patients with biochemical recurrence after RRP.
Design: Six TMAs were made from 217 patients who underwent RRP by a single surgeon (1986-1996) and developed biochemical recurrence (PSA≥0.2 ng/mL). At RRP, 22% (n=49) had a Gleason score (GS) of ≤6, 51% (n=110) had GS of 7 and 27% (n=58) had a GS of 8-10. 83% (n=181) had extracapsular extension, 34% (n=74) had seminal vesicle invasion and 27% (n=58) had lymph node metastases. 36% (n=78) had positive margins. IHC for PTEN (Cell Signaling #9188) was performed after optimization with genetic cell line controls and scored as "markedly decreased" (0-1+) or "normal" (2+) in tumor tissue relative to adjacent benign tissue.
Results: Average patient follow-up was 15.1 years. 25% (52/210) of patients recurred locally and 60% (124/208) recurred with distant metastases. 38% (79/207) of patients died of prostate cancer. In Kaplan-Meier analysis, markedly decreased PTEN immunostaining was associated with decreased time to metastasis (p=0.03, Figure 1) and decreased time to prostate-specific death (p=0.06). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, GS and pathological stage, but not PTEN protein levels, were significantly associated with time to metastasis and prostate cancer-specific death.
Conclusions: PTEN expression by IHC is simple to perform and score with appropriate controls. Further, loss of PTEN by IHC is associated with decreased time to metastasis in a surgical series. These studies validate PTEN protein loss as a biomarker of poor prognosis in prostate cancer and support further dissection and therapeutic targeting of this pathway in high risk prostate cancer.

Darkman, meet the Dark Knight. Liam Neeson is in final talks to join the cast of the forthcoming "Batman'' movie, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Warner Bros. has declined to describe his role, but it's likely that he'd play a villain opposite Christian Bale's Caped Crusader in the relaunch of the franchise, which Christopher Nolan (''Memento'') will direct. Neeson would join a cast that includes Katie Holmes (as a probable love interest for Bale's Bruce Wayne), Michael Caine (as butler Alfred), and Cillian Murphy (''28 Days Later''). According to the Internet rumor mill, Neeson's role would be Batman's immortal enemy Ra's al-Ghul, while Murphy's is Bat-foe Jonathan Crane, a.k.a. the Scarecrow.
The 51-year-old Neeson, most recently seen in ''Love Actually,'' will next appear on screen playing the title role in ''Kinsey,'' the biopic about the pioneering sex researcher.

I was married on October 10th at a small ceremony at a cabin in Georgia. My family at home in Michigan is having a reception for us this Saturday. My question is: would it be ok for me to wear my wedding dress for the party? I think that a lot of people would like to see it and I did love it but I don't want it to look funny. We are just having dinner and music. Thank you for your help.
Sincerely, Amy |
Follow-Up Postings:
There are often receptions or parties after the wedding. But I have never seen anyone wearing a bridal gown at one just so those who weren't at the wedding could see it. I'm assuming you are talking about a traditional wedding gown. But it was a small ceremony; perhaps you wore a terrific "regular" dress? If so, I absolutely would go ahead and wear it again for the party. That you wore it for your wedding doesn't mean it needs to be enshrined forever! If it's a traditional gown and veil -- well, you know your group, and we don't. So I don't know if they really are all that worked up about seeing you wearing a wedding gown, or if they will be thinking it seems a bit silly, or some of each. In any case, I assume all these people love you, so I don't think you have a problem with anyone permanently thinking anything bad. If you have your heart set on wearing your gown again, who is it hurting? I think the bigger issue is how YOU will feel. The fact that you are asking here makes me suspect that you feel uneasy about it, and if you plan to wear it, you will be second-guessing yourself from now until the party and all through the party, worried that you will feel foolish, which will reduce your own pleasure. If you wear a terrific regular outfit, you will for sure feel confident. Believe me, you will still be The Bride! Maybe wear some flowers, too. Best wishes on your marriage, and have fun at your party whatever you decide to wear. |

It is quite common to see the bride in her wedding dress at a later reception if the gown is "managable." One with a long train or otherwise quite elaborate is often uncomfortable when worn for a later reception. If you feel comfortable wearing the dress again, do so. |
"But I have never seen anyone wearing a bridal gown at one just so those who weren't at the wedding could see it." I have, and it was lovely. We really appreciated being able to see the bride's gorgeous gown and it made us feel more a part of the 'real' wedding celebration. (In her case, the couple's religion excluded those of other religions from being allowed inside the temple.) Logistically, the bride and groom made an entrance shortly after the party's official beginning, then changed into more traditional party clothes afer an hour or so. |

MIchael Bezjian
Very comfortable: always Nike jumpsuits. I still like to be comfortable, but I have more of a classic, sleek, bohemian-chic vibe going on.
What kind of clique were you in back then? Now?
It was just my twin and me back in the day. Now I love being around people who love to learn. I love individuals who care about whats going on the world and how we can help make it a better place. Im also like a sponge, so being around people I can learn from is always stimulating. So, my clique now is news reporters, counselors, and producers.
What were your hobbies back then? Now?
My hobbies were dancing, acting, singing, Rollerblading, ice hockey, horseback riding. Now I enjoy dancing, Pilates, acting, and traveling.
What rumors were people spreading about you then? Now?
Because I had a television show then, people thought I was [fake]. But all I wanted was for people to see how genuine I was. The rumors now? Umm ... that I had a baby because I gained weight.
What nicknames did you have back then? Now?
People used to call me "T" or "Poo poo ni ni." Now they call me "Tam Tam."
Who was your best friend? Are they still your best friend now?
My sister was by best friend. As weve gotten older, we've kind of met new people and found our own identities. My best friend now is Andrea Regalado. We met in college and have been friends since.
What did you do for fun? Now?
I would hang out with all of my friends. Go to the movies, mall, etc. Now I travel with my friends or have dinner dates. I love salsa dancing and going to the movies with my family.
What advice did your parents give you when you were 17? Now?
My parents have always taught me to set goals, put God first, and always remain true to God, others, and myself.
What did you worry about back then? Now?
I used to worry about how others perceived me and if they liked me or my show. Also, what college I was going to go to and if that guy liked me. Now: Who am I going to marry? How many kids am I going to have? Where would we live? Is my career going to sustain itself? Am I getting fat? (LOL.) Bills, bills, bills.
What was your high school boyfriend like? Describe the guy you'd want to date now.
I didnt have one. But I always liked bad boys. My boyfriend now is amazing. Hes totally the opposite. Through trial and error I had to learn to appreciate the GOOD guy.
Who was your idol back then? Now?
My idol was my mother. My mother is such an amazing person. She is strong and shes always been there for her children. She tended to put our needs before hers, and for that I am grateful. I would not be here today it werent for my mother. Even today shes a mom, manager, and friend, all in one.
Who were your celebrity crushes? Now?
I have always loved Leonardo DiCaprio. Now it's Clive Owen. Hes sooooooo sexy.

April 20, 2010
Jefferson City, Mo. - Attorney General Chris Koster said today that a Moniteau County mother and son have been ordered to pay $227,534 in restitution and do jail time for taking advantage of an elderly California, Missouri, woman.
Koster said Sylvia Bray and her son Joshua pled guilty in November 2009 to felony stealing and felony failure to file tax return for 2005; Sylvia Bray also pled guilty to making false statements on her 2004 Missouri tax return, also a felony.
Koster said the charges stemmed from allegations that the defendants, along with Sylvia Bray's mother, agreed to assist an elderly woman, Elva Heck, in her California home. Over the course of two and a half years, Heck paid the Brays $227,534. Koster said when Heck's condition required that she be removed from her home in 2006, the home was found to be in deplorable condition, with both human and canine feces found throughout the home.
"It is contemptible that there are those who would take advantage of vulnerable, elderly people, stealing their entire savings and neglecting their care," Koster said. "These people should know that they will be dealt with harshly in our courts."
Koster said Judge Stan Moore sentenced Sylvia Bray to 17 years and Joshua Bray to 12 years. The two will be released on probation if they successfully complete 120 days "shock time." A condition of the probation is that the defendants pay restitution of $227,534.

4. Joann
I purchased my nutribullet for health reasons as my recent cholestrol and HDL numbers were not good and decided to make those numbers improve. In doing this I have lost weight, have tons more energy and have not done nothing but have two blasts a day, one for breakfast and lunch . I vary my blast ingredients everyday to include the following: kale, spinach, collard greens, goji berries, cacao nibs, flax seeds, hemp seeds, raw unsalted pumpkin and sunfower seeds, chlorella powder, almonds, banana's, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, peaches, mango, pineapple, apples, lemons, oranges, cinnamon, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, coconut water and plain water. As you can see I have invested in my health and it started with my nutribullet that I know now I couldn't be without.
This is the blast that I had for breakfast this morning:
fresh pineapple(using the core which is high in bromelain)
goji berries
flax seeds
chia seeds
pumkin seeds
unsweetened vanilla almond milk
When I use lemon in the morning it really makes me feel good but anything that I use always tastes great. I eat more vegetables for dinner along with seeds or beans for good health. I am so afraid that if something happened to my nutribullet that I would have to run out and get another ASAP! So I am watching for a good deal on that.
All I can say is no one could honestly say that this doesn't make you feel good! I have prove!

OpenGL 4.1 Spec Finalized
New spec focuses on enhancing 3D graphics on mobile devices.
The Khronos Group announced that finalizing the OpenGL 4.1 specifications had been completed and that its release would be immediate. The new API specification is fully backwards compatible and adds several new features including 64-bit floating-point component shader inputs for higher geometric precision and the ability to query and load binary for a shader program objects.
But possibly the biggest addition to the royalty-free speculation is full compatibility with OpenGL ES 2.0, making it easier than ever to port graphics between desktop and mobile platforms.
"Khronos is methodically building their vision for pervasive developer access to cross-platform graphics, media and compute acceleration. The continued rapid-fire OpenGL evolution feeds high-end graphics innovation into that strategy," stated Dr. Jon Peddie founder and principal of Jon Peddie Research.
The Khronos Group last updated the specification only four months ago. OpenGL 4.1 is available for download at opengl.org/registry.

LehrerDance seeks your support at annual Ovations benefit
BY: Lauren Kirchmyer | February 25, 2014
All it took was one dare for Jon Lehrer's life to change forever.
While attending the University at Buffalo, Jon became friends with his classmate Tammy, who was a dancer. Jon would tell Tammy her dance classes on campus were an easy A, so she dared him to take a class to see what the life of a dancer is really like. To their surprise, Jon received an A in the class and fell in love with both dance and Tammy.
Jon and Tammy got married and seven years ago they began LehrerDance, a Buffalo-based professional dance company.
"I'm not from Buffalo but my wife is," Jon said. "We knew in our gut starting the company in Buffalo was the right thing to do and if we kept our artistic integrity we would be supported."
The amount of support LehrerDance has received has been tremendous. Over the past seven years, the company has grown from local to regional to national and now international status, which takes a typical dance company over 10 years to achieve. Between 2012 and 2013, LehrerDance traveled all over the United States, as well as Russia and Europe.
"It has been amazing to get recognition around the world. We're very proud to carry the Buffalo name with us," Jon said. As for 2014, "We have another full season of touring the country, and there will be a lot more performing here in Buffalo."
Local performances will include collaborations with local arts organizations at different venues around Buffalo. On Oct. 4, they will be performing back where Jon's dance career started, at the University at Buffalo in the Center for the Arts.
All of the traveling and performing LehrerDance does comes at a cost, and 100 percent of the donations this non-profit receives go directly to the dance company.
"What we do here in Buffalo and around the world, we couldn't do without our supporters and donors," he said.
The company's largest benefit, Ovations, will be held on March 29 at Salvatore's Italian Gardens. The event, which starts at 6 p.m., includes a themed basked auction, grab and go wine, a silent auction and, of course, dancing.
"Guests will have a chance to see two of our pieces up close and personal," Jon said. "We usually perform in theaters but for this we will be performing in the ballroom. The audience will see LehrerDance like they've never seen it before."
Tickets to Ovations are $100 and include food, drinks (open bar) and the LehrerDance performances. After dinner, guests are welcome to have their turn on the dance floor as CJ Sound will be the guest DJ for the night.
Ovations is open to anyone ages 21 and up. For ticket or sponsor information, visit www.lehrerdance.org. If you would like to donate to the basket or silent auctions, contact Jon at 803-8612 or email@example.com.
While at Ovations, guests will also have the opportunity to meet and mingle with Jon and the eight company members, three of which – Colleen Walsh, Rachael Humphrey and Ryan Moguel – are from Buffalo.
"My favorite part is having people talk to us," Jon said. "As performers you don't get to interact one-on-one, but this is a chance for Buffalo fans to get to know us."
Jon and his company have come a long way over the past several years, but his favorite part of the company is the rehearsal process.
"I have so many ideas in my head and am always creating new things," he said. "The way LehrerDance performs them, there's nothing like that. To see my vision come to life is the greatest thing."

Austin Watson attracted the eyes of scouts with an incredible performance at the Top Prospects game, but it was a performance that ended up costing him as well. Watson broke his foot blocking a shot and ended up missing more than a month thanks to the injury.
Watson's offence blossomed after he was dealt away from the stacked Windsor Spitfires; after putting up 11 goals and 34 points in 43 games with limited ice-time he got more of an opportunity in Peterborough – putting up nine goals and 20 points in just 10 games. Despite the offensive output, Watson's viewed as a versatile scorer whose true strengths lie elsewhere. He stands 6'3" and is renowned as a two-way player who can handle big minutes on the penalty kill and generally lines up against the best the opposition has to offer.
Watson's not a phenomenal skater, and he's lanky, meaning that as with most prospects his age he needs to bulk up and add some strength. Additionally, he's not regarded as a natural scorer the way other players in the draft are, and it's fair to ask if his Peterborough performance was an aberration or represented a true breakthrough.
the nice thing about Watson is that thanks to his versatility and his size, he's a safe pick: even if his scoring touch doesn't top out as high as it might, he could still end up with a nice long NHL career in a bottom-six role somewhere.
McKeen's Rank: #19 - "Watson flourished in the Petes' system and became so renowned for his shot blocking that teams were adjusting their power-play to avoid him."
THN Rank: #15 – "'He's a bit of a hidden gem,' another scout said.'He isn't going to be the biggest scorer in the world, but he does good things in all three zones.'"

Did you buy an iPhone when it first came out and now you feel suckered that in 68 days the price has dropped $200? There are multiple sites popping up where you can join others who are angry at Apple and demanding a refund. Some say they deserve it for being a first adopter, because all prices go down. Then again, others argue these were loyal Apple fans that got burned, and a price drop like that in less than 90 days isn't fair to consumers.
But those of you that bought an iPhone in the past week, you may be in luck for a refund. Apple has a 10-day price protection guarantee.
UPDATE: Steve Jobs apologizes in this letter and offers a $100 Apple store credit to people who bought the iPhone before this price cut.

Endothelins act on two subtypes of G protein-coupled receptors, termed endothelin-A and endothelin-B receptors. We report a targeted disruption of the mouse endothelin-B receptor (EDNRB) gene that results in aganglionic megacolon associated with coat color spotting, resembling a hereditary syndrome of mice, humans, and other mammalian species. Piebald-lethal (sl) mice exhibit a recessive phenotype identical to that of the EDNRB knockout mice. In crossbreeding studies, the two mutations show no complementation. Southern blotting revealed a deletion encompassing the entire EDNRB gene in the sl chromosome. A milder allele, piebald (s), which produces coat color spotting only, expresses low levels of structurally intact EDNRB mRNA and protein. These findings indicate an essential role for EDNRB in the development of two neural crest-derived cell lineages, myenteric ganglion neurons and epidermal melanocytes. We postulate that defects in the human EDNRB gene cause a hereditary form of Hirschsprung's disease that has recently been mapped to human chromosome 13, in which EDNRB is located.

I recently got my Disney Chase card with the rewards program. My question is.... I specifically got this card to build points for my annual pass renewal. I know some folks gonna say you have to spend a bunch but my fuel bill for the truck runs about 8 to 10,000 a month right now so I think I can cut a sizable chunk out of it.
How many points do they give on what amount?? How do I redeem and how often??

Susan Sarandon was seen dining at ~BISTRO BOUDIN~ on Sunday afternoon with what looked like a couple associates. The group was seated at one of the restaurant's large marble tables that overlooks the bay with a view of Alcatraz. Susan ordered an Irish Coffee (atta girl), dined on the linguine and clams for her entrée, and here's the best part: she asked the chef for a generous amount of garlic to be added. Not afraid, that Susan. Besides, when you're that gorgeous, you can have the worst dragon breath in the world and people will still want to make out with you.

text: You can purchase tickets the same day IF they are still available...but they usually sell out, especially the closer you get to Halloween. I do not have a calendar in front of me so I am not sure what day Halloween falls on this year. I just know from prior experience and from what others have said that usually Friday's and weekends are the busiest because it draws a lot of locals to the party. It can't be too early at anytime because no matter when you go...they do such a great job that you will feel like it actually is Halloween no matter what day it is! Have fun!

Lets see... how do you sum yourself up in 5,000 characters?
Heres the basics:
I'm Brody and semi-new to Utah. Moved here in February and loving it. I'm studying Information Technology at UVU and working on several CompTIA certificates in the mean time. My life got delayed quite a bit due to health issues I have. I have epilepsy and its just apart of my life. I can't drive, for now, so if thats a deal breaker for you... thats unfortunate.
I consider myself a true gentleman and do my best to show women the respect they deserve. Chivalry is not a lost art in my life, even though it seems to be a lost these days.
Hobbies... Music is a HUGE part of my life. It still surprises me that i'm not a music major considering how obsessed I am with it. One reason I love music so much is because I play guitar. I am so fascinated with the emotions you can portray through music even without words.
I'm a nerd and I love it. I read comics on a daily basis and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I play video games and that is one reason I am a IT major. It sparked my interest in computers and everything they are capable of doing.
I love writing and I have been slacking off on it lately. Although I have found much more time for it I just haven't taken advantage of it yet.
The gospel is extremely important to me and the atonement has reshaped my life in ways that I can't describe with words. It is THE center point of my life, along with my family of course. My family are my friends and so much more. I love them more than I could express.
Anyway, don't be shy to message me. I don't bite.

5 Star Recipe
When 4 Stars Just Aren't Enough
Italian Chicken Under A Brick – Revisted
A few weeks ago you may remember seeing an interesting chicken recipe that utilized bricks on top of the chicken while BBQing. In that post I used chicken breasts, not my favorite but it worked at the time.
Over the 4th of July weekend I had the opportunity to use my sister-in-law's (Carrie) kitchen and BBQ. What a relief
from that cramped kitchen I work in. Anyways, this time I boned three chickens and attemped the "Italian Chicken Under a Brick" recipe again.
To start with, I cut the backbones out of the chickens (saved them for stock), and flipped over the chicken to remove the ribs and breast bone. I removed the wish bone and part of the wing. Emeril has a quick video that will help you get started on deboning a chicken – Emeril.
Cooking with whole chickens is wonderful and makes you never want to by that package of skinless, boneless chicken breasts ever again. As you shouldn't, those whole fryers are cheaper and taste better.
The recipe I followed can be found in my post here. http://www.5starrecipe.com/?p=425#more-425
Bacon-Smothered Haricots Verts
This side dish uses small French green beans, but your ordinary run of the mill green beans will work. It's early in the season here so the green beans are small, so those worked perfectly.
This recipe comes from Chef Emeril Lagasse and naturally has a Southern twist to your everyday bacon and green beans. The recipe calls for rich chicken stock, but it was running late and I didn't have time to make it, so I substituted plain old chicken stock. On my next go at this recipe, I will take the time to make the rich chicken stock.
This side takes about 15 minutes to prepare and I paired this up with some chicken from the grill. I prepared the chicken simply with shallots, garlic, and Emerils Creole seasoning as not to distract from the green beans.
Let me tell you, the flavor on the beans was amazing. Try this right away.
Grilled Garlic Bread
I know! I couldn't believe it myself when I ran across this recipe from Emeril. Grilled garlic bread, what could possible be better. Now at first I was thinking how are you going to grill bread, then it dawned on me, in aluminum foil, and sure enough the recipe did not let me down.
This simple recipe starts by creaming some butter with parsely, garlic, lemon juice, and Emeril's Creole seasoning. Be sure to let your unsalted (REAL) butter get to room temperature and use your mixer to cream the butter.
In the picture you will notice some salmon, Copper River Wild Sockeye to be exact. I am telling you, there is nothing like wild caught salmon – the juices from the fish make the BBQ go wild. At any rate, I kept the salmon very simple because I wanted to evaluate the garlic bread without an overpowering fish or sauce. So it was garlic salt, onion salt, and I squeezed a lemon over the top of the salmon – simply yet delicious.
So lets move on to the garlic bread.
I recently posted a recipe for Pumpkin Custard Pie and left my camera at work. So I made another pie New Year's morning (about 5:30am) for a party that was sprung on me at the last minute. But I can't complain, I love to cook. So up-and-at-em at 5:30am to start a pie.
Well as you know, the crust takes some time. 45 minutes to chill in a disk, then into the pan and chill another 45 – 60 minutes. Then an hour to bake. Then cooling time. You got to get going!
This is the best pumpkin pie I have ever had. It is an Emeril recipe and uses both light and dark brown sugar. That way you get a dark brown filling. Also some burbon, but I only had some Mr. Jack Daniels, so in he went.
The crust was perfect. I used the cusinart method rather then cutting in the butter by hand with forks. Forget the thought it tastes better when you have to work hard at it. The cusinart method is fast, and makes the crust perfect every time. I will go into detail on how to use the cusinart to make crust in the forums "How Tos" next week. So look for it there.
In a prior post, I was talking about the Emeril recipes that I make at Thanksgiving each year and the best one is the turkey. No fancy deep fat frying, cooking in a bag, or stuffing inside the turkey, just good old fashion ingredients like oranges, lemons, thyme, rosemary, and onions.
This is by far the best recipe for turkey, why? Because you can taste the citrus, the herbs, and the onions in every bite of the turkey.
This one takes a little effort because you are soaking (brining) the turkey overnight in salt water and brown sugar, and creating gravy from the pan drippings – but you can do it. I put the turkey in a cooking bag and put it in the sink, then covered it in ice so it would not go bad overnight (sitting out).
The gravy is also amazing. This year I did not boil down the guts, just the neck and used it as the base. Read through this carefully, and think about what you have to do before you execute this recipe.
In this picture, I discarded the herbs, oranges, lemons, and onions that were stuffed inside. If you go to Emeril's site (link below) he arranged some of the ingredients he pulled out of the turkey on the serving platter. Looks nice that way too.
Here you go!
This recipe comes from Emeril Lagasse and was aired in 2007 on Emeril Live. The episode was Ultimate Thanksgiving.
There are three recipes I use from this one show every year, the bacon brussels sprouts, the brined herb roasted turkey, and this pumpkin custard pie.
This recipe is very silky and I just can't seem to get enough of this pumpkin pie. I know you will enjoy it. Thank you Emeril.

Would The Prius Get Better Gas Mileage If It Weighed Less?
A: Your logic is faulty. Heres why:
1. Overall weight has virtually no effect on steady-state cruising economy. Fuel consumption at expressway speeds on level ground is determined largely by aerodynamic drag and other parasitic drags such as the tires rolling resistance.
2. The onboard battery pack is charged, for the most part, when the vehicle slows down, capturing the energy that otherwise would be dissipated as heat in the brakes. It normally doesnt get charged during steady-state driving or acceleration. (One exception: On some hybrids, notably Toyotas, the battery will be charged to load the engine when the engine is otherwise running to warm up or provide cabin heat. This avoids wasting the fuel needed to keep the engine running when the car isnt moving. Clever.)
3. Aerodynamic drag goes up with the square of speed, but the power needed to overcome drag goes up with the cube of speed. It takes eight times as much poweror fuelto go a constant 60 mph as it does to go 30 mph.
Thats why the Prius, the Insight and other hybrids can actually achieve better miles per gallon during moderatespeed urban stop-and-go driving than on long, high-speed freeway trips.

I found out there is a label for people like me. I'm "chronically disorganized". That is so much better than what I thought I was which was a "hoarder".
I had been looking on the web for a while looking for someone who does MORE than clean or who does MORE than organize. Found some "disaster relief cleaning services" and lots of organizers. Anyway, I lucked on to this website where one of the testimonials said they were so pleased because he didn't just give you a list of action items - he actually did the work too. WOW! Two days of his time has made a huge huge difference. Part of that process was shoving some things to be "dealt with" later into the spare room (which was already in pretty bad shape). I know at some point I'm going to have to do more work to sort through the stuff in there but these first couple of days has been such a wonderful boost, I think I will be able to deal with it. Just wanted to vent some of my joy to this forum where I think many of you will understand how wonderful it is to find someone like this. He also does staging for houses that people want to sell so they want it to look nice for cheap. I love now that my house is partially "staged." (Though we don't plan to sell, especially now that things are so much more livable.) He also can be hired as a housekeeper which I plan to do. Don't want this place to go back to what it was like before. I'll keep y'all posted. He is coming back next week for two days (a little less than $400 per day) and after that I will probably need to dig in more on my own. Wish me luck. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I know exactly what you mean, but $400 a day sounds like an awful lot of money. That's $4K for two five-day weeks! And that's about what my house needs-two intensive weeks! My problem is I can organize or clean, but not both. Due to health issues (don't ask) I get tired very easily. I can sort and organize pretty well and I can wipe down counters and wash floors okay , but not in the same day. My "dream assistant" would keep me company and chat while I organize, then thoroughly clean after I've got an area organized. Is there somebody like that around? Oh, I've priced husecleaning services where I live, the typical charge is $100 a day. Never did check out those "disaster" cleaners. (They'll clean after a flood or fire,etc) By the way, good luck to you on finding the best of all possible worlds! |
I understand about the health problem situation. I have some of those too. I origially thought that this job would take 12 weeks at two days per week but he has completed half the job in two days! Hope to start on the garage soon. Once that is clear/clean, I think I will be able to do a lot of the remaining work because I will have a place to put the stuff I want to save. I looked more on the web because this guy asked me about advertising. I found numerous possibilities by searching using the words "downsizing" "staging" ("organizing" of course) ("cleaning" of course) but last of all, it may surpise you was "assisted living". Turns out a lot of people moving to an assisted living facility from a home despirately need this service, especially considering that many want to sell their homes, hence the "staging" part (but you can choose which services). Though $400 per day is a lot, I think I will end up spending $1600 on this not counting the weekly (or maybe biweekly regular cleaning I plan to sign up for after the house is in order.) Bottom line, if you get somebody really good, it won't take you as long as you think. I have tried an organizer before but they just want to give YOU a list of action items. I needed that but much more also. Keep searching. Maybe this is an up and coming service for us baby-boomers who want to downsize and clear out junk we can no longer deal with ourselves. Good luck. |
Through an Adult Ed class, I met a Professional Organizer who charges $75 per hour. That would work out to $600 for an eight-hour day (no breaks/lunch). Just for comparison. |

"How do I wear a miniskirt without leggings and not look trashy?"
For a casual look try pairing the miniskirt with a slightly oversize American Apparel sweatshirt or this cute long-sleeve V-neck. Ballet flats or a fun pair of Converse complete this cute, casual miniskirt look.
If you want a dressier look, a tank top works, but layer the tank with a longer blazer or fitted cardigan. Spice up this outfit a bit with some bangles or a necklace.

Quoted from trish44 I have to get busy with paper work, but wanted to share this with you, as I JUST LOVE IT. Chop 1/4 or more of each cilantro and parsley and onion with a small tomato and 4 cloves mashed garlic, add olive oil and balsalmic vinegar ( I know, but I don't know what to substitute) and a cup or two of blackeyed peas with sea salt, and it is ready to eat or chill for a few hours. Keeps for two to three days in the fridge. Hope you all like it as much as I do.
