Cholesterol, a chief contributor to cardiovascular disease, is top-of-mind for many consumers. Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 cause of death in the United States, killing about 910,000 Americans annually, or one person every 35 seconds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Roughly 107 million Americans have high cholesterol levels, reports the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI).
Shrimp is relatively high in cholesterol. But a study conducted by Rockefeller and Harvard Universities a decade ago debunked the myth that eating shrimp is unhealthy. Since the study, U.S. per-capita shrimp consumption has increased 60 percent, to 4 pounds, and the crustacean has dethroned canned tuna as America's favorite seafood.
Despite the study, some consumers still shun shrimp and other shellfish due to the misperception that the protein is high in cholesterol.
This month's designation as National Cholesterol Education Month is a perfect time to clear up any confusion your customers may have surrounding seafood and cholesterol.
Q. What is cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a soft, waxy, fat-like substance found in animal cells. Its function is to produce cell membranes and hormones. Cholesterol is manufactured by the human body and obtained through the consumption of animal proteins (cholesterol isn't found in plant products).
Cholesterol is carried to and from the cells by lipoproteins, which assemble in the liver and circulate throughout the bloodstream; cholesterol can't dissolve in the bloodstream. Two common types of lipoproteins are low-density lipoproteins (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol, and high-density lipoproteins (HDL), or "good" cholesterol.
Q. What's the difference
between "good" and "bad" cholesterol?
LDL deposits cholesterol in the arterial walls. When too much LDL accumulates, the arteries narrow and eventually clog, impeding the flow of blood to the heart and brain and increasing the risk of a heart attack or stroke, reports the American Heart Association.
Conversely, studies show that HDL carries cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver, where it's passed from the body, and removes excess cholesterol from the arteries.
According to the NHLBI's National Cholesterol Education Program, total cholesterol levels of less than 200 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) are "desirable," while 200 to 239 mg/dL are "borderline high" and more than 239 mg/dL are "high."
The AHA recommends consuming no more than 300 milligrams of cholesterol per day. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 3.5 ounces (100 grams) of raw shrimp (mixed species) contain 152 milligrams of cholesterol.
Q. Is shrimp unhealthy because it's high in
It's important to consider not just the overall cholesterol content of shrimp but the ratio of "good" to "bad" cholesterol.
The Rockefeller-Harvard study, which examined the diets of 18 healthy adults over nine weeks in 1996, found that eating shrimp increased the patients' LDL levels slightly but also boosted their HDL levels enough to offset the jump in LDL levels.
What's more, shrimp is relatively low in saturated fat and high in omega-3 fatty acids. For example, 3.5 ounces of raw shrimp contain 0.3 grams of saturated fat and 0.5 grams of omega-3s, while the same amount of raw ground beef (90 percent lean, 10 percent fat) has 4.1 grams of saturated fat and no omega-3s.
Saturated fat accelerates the production of LDL, raising cholesterol levels and increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, while omega-3s lower triglyceride levels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. (High triglyceride levels are associated with numerous ailments, including cardiovascular disease.)
"Most high-cholesterol foods are also high in saturated fat, which most people should restrict in their diets," said Elizabeth De Oliveira e Silva, a Rockefeller research associate, at the time of the study. Steamed shrimp "does not adversely affect the lipoprotein profile in people with normal cholesterol levels. In fact, if shrimp are substituted for beef or other high-fat foods, we predict even more favorable effects."
The belief that eating shrimp raises cholesterol levels is one of nine myths David Heber, M.D., Ph.D., founding director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of California Los Angeles, discredits in his 2001 book "What Color Is Your Diet? The Seven Colors of Health."
"The American Heart Association acknowledged a long time ago that shrimp had been wrongly accused," wrote Heber, "but lots of people, including doctors, still believe the myth."
Q. Are other types of seafood high in cholesterol?
Squid, at 233 milligrams per 3.5 ounces, contains more cholesterol than shrimp, according to the USDA. But most shellfish contain less than 115 milligrams of cholesterol, including lobster, crab, crawfish, clams, mussels, scallops and oysters. Canned tuna, salmon, pollock, cod and tilapia all contain less than 75 milligrams.
The cholesterol content of most seafood is in line with other proteins, such as beef, chicken and pork, but less than most dairy products and, especially, organ meats like liver and kidney (see graph). Look at it this way: 4 ounces of shrimp contain about the same amount of cholesterol as an egg yolk, which weighs less than 1 ounce.
Keep in mind, breading and frying seafood and/or drenching it in butter increases the cholesterol. For example, 3.5 ounces of breaded and fried shrimp contain 177 milligrams of cholesterol, while a 4-ounce stick of butter has 243 milligrams.

Comments about Rubbermaid ProServe Pizza Delivery Bag - 21-1/2x19-3/4x7-3/4" Red:
Needs to be reinforced under, if it's not to hold large pizza, like small bags. The Window and the velcros could be larger. The size is impressive. The red colour looks young fresh & clean, professional too. The handle Can hold on the shoulder, so you can use your two hands. I ordered two of them.

Constructors in Newspeak are unlike constructors in the Java™ programming language. We use the terminology to refer to methods generated by the compiler to initialize a newly created instance of a class.
Unlike Smalltalk, but just as in the Java programming language, Newspeak has complete syntax for class declarations. However, there is no single part of the syntax which maps directly to the constructor. Instead, the constructor is compiled from various parts of the class header.
The overall syntax is:
ClassDeclaration ::= ClassHeader InstanceSide : ClassSide
ClassHeader ::= class ClassName ConstructorMessagePattern = Superclass SuperConstructorCall ( | SlotInitializers | InitializerExpression )
Some of these syntax productions are optional, but I will ignore that for now. Here is an example of an immutable point:
class Point x: xVal y: yVal = Object new (
x = xVal.
y = yVal.
) (
printString = ( ^x printString, '@', y printString )
Slot initializers can be arbitrary expressions, so we can define a version initialized from polar coordinates:
class Point r: r theta: theta = Object new (
x = r * theta cos.
y = r * theta sin.
) (
printString = ( ^x printString, '@', y printString )
As the constructor is defined implicitly in the class declaration, a Newspeak class has exactly one constructor. However, you can define additional class-side methods which are indistinguishable from constructors (except to subclasses which must refer to the one constructor in SuperConstructorCall). So we can define a point which can be initialized from cartesian and polar coordinates:
class Point x: xVal y: yVal = Object new (
x = xVal.
y = yVal.
) (
printString = ( ^x printString, '@', y printString )
) : (
r: r theta: theta = ( ^x: r * theta cos y: r * theta sin )
This was written in response to Christian's Newspeak Constructors.

Direct2Drive starts selling Modern Warfare 2 despite its use of Steam {Big Download}
Jul 16th 2010 6:35AM Totally true, Same thing happened when I bought Dawn of War 2 through Direct2Drive (which i have always loved) and It installed steam.
I had already been using steam, and I figure, since i need steam on my comp to run tf2 and dow2 I might as well check them as my retailer first.
Especially when the DL rates from steam (for me at least) Seem to be WAY faster.

Jul 12th 2010 1:07PM Exactly, its about money.
Sony pays piles and piles of money for exclusivity, and Microsoft would have to match that to break that deal.
I'm sure square would LOVE to have the game on the 360, there are what? like 60,000 ps3 in the us and 10mil 360s?
xbox just doesn't need to drop the kind of cash for a game that it knows isn't the bread and butter genre for xbox live, (shooters, sports, and action)
But the day i can play an mmo properly with my console on my nice tv on my couch rather than in a chair at my desk. That company would have me for life.
Really, Ive said it before and I hope someone realizes that GW or GW2 would be perfect console mmos. Most Mmos you need access to like 20+ buttons, for GW u need 8 at a time.
Every time i play Tf2 on my pc with an xbox controller and i channel the medic's medigun, all i can think is why can't they do this in an mmo?

We ordered so much Chipotle on Friday, they gave us a box. |
Welcome back to reality everyone! I first wanted to say a very special hello to all of the new readers out there. Thank you all so much for joining in on the fun. I also wanted to point out my new address....www.denimanddaydreamsblog.com. Yes, we are movin' on up over here to a really fancy new url. I also figured our the issues on Bloglovin, so if you would like, please follow me there too!
Now, on to the weekend. Gregg and I were asked to dog-sit out in Western Mass this weekend. Thisexperienceonly proved my point that getting a dog is afantasticidea. Yes, Gregg did the walking, feeding etc., but I did a lot of the hanging around with said dog and to be honest, it was lovely. I don't want to say much more about this, as I am sure I will get some hateful comments from Gregg,anonymousof course.
Anyways, I figured I would document my outfits from the weekend to give you a quick glimpse into what I packed for a weekend away. Please note: I know I look like a goober. I just can't help that. So without furtheradieu, what are some selfies (in a formal dining room) between friends?
Now some random thoughts and Instagrams from the weekend....
after work drinks on Friday...a must have this winter. |
I have neveractuallyhad one of these, but I just know I love them. Especially in this fun color!
via This recipe will be made this week, that is for sure! I have a weakness for anything Asian-inspired. |
via |
I decided I need some fun patterned shorts this summer.
via |
Is this little nugget serious? I love her. She has more style in her pre-teen pinky finger than I have in my wholecloset.
via |
Lastly, I sawZero Dark Thirty this weekend and Iloved it. I feel pretty proud that I have seen a movie nominatedbefore the Oscars.
How was your weekend?Any Manic Monday thoughts??

Oh dear... better pictures of the Power Miner sets
Posted by Huw,Better pictures have turned up on Brickshelf. But now I'm not so sure about them; it looks like they contain a lot of large single-use pieces.
64 comments on this article
they are more clearer
Cool! they make it truly good to look at.
Finally!Better pics they look better then the ones on Brother Brick or Euro Brick.I think im gonna change my mind about not buying Power Miners.They look so clear.
Yeah , I saw them a cuple days ago. It helps us decide if there any good or not. I might get a fe of the smaller ones.
I saw some good pics in Eurobricks. I don't liked the sets, the wheels looks too big and the drill too. Some sets have bionicle pieces, what makes them looks a bit odd to system sets. The color is like of the Exo-force set Chameleon Hunter, but this color scheme isn't too common on other themes, so it will not be so useful though it is nice.
Got a link to em? All I can see is the very small picture by the news article...
Oh found it, went to brickshelf. Nevermind :)
Now that I have seen better pics I think they look A LOT better. They look very buyable and I actually LIKE the blue helmets. This could work...
Well not bad it make me feel bad for trashing it earlier. I still hate the color scheme though and those rock monsters are small. I'll probably get the drill but thats all.
I'm in for the blue helmets. That big drill one looks kinda cool, actually. If any, I'd get that.
Blue helmets will be a rare piece but I won't buy the sets.
I'll probably get the drill, the two tractors, and that large vehicle.
I REALY dislike the pieces used for the drill/wheels/blades, they don't look like something I'd ever use in any of my models. And to add to that, while the green color is good for these sets, it wouldn't be very usefull in many other models.
I might buy ONE, just to get one of the blue helmets/figs, but that's it.
I think that there are to many big pieces that take up the whole set like the drills, blades, and armor. Whats up with the rock monsters they are so small.
I agree with legolegend88 about the big pieces, pieces keep getting bigger and bigger and more useless to other creations. What is this, Mega Bloks? And also Power Miners if you look at it uses too many Technic pieces. Where are the good old days of Lego?
I must say that they look quite nice. My only problem is the red.
P.S. I don't know, you could probably make preety good construction tunnel driller for roads or subways out of these sets. I may do some hybrid trains/power miners MOCs with these.
I also like the new rock monsters, they look like somthing out of Star Trek.
I agree about the huge pieces and I don't like any of the sets.The largest set seems to have something I never expected:a rock monster launcher(has lego lost their creativity?)I also noticed that the power miners have no base like the rock raiders did.All the sets are drilling vehicles,anybody else notice that?
I kinda like the drilling one now that i see a clearer picture. To bad the drill peices were not cromed though. =(
In reality, a giant drill bit that was shiny would stay that way for about 10.34 seconds of drilling, and then it would dull and get scratched and covered in the dust from the rocks it was just drilling.
I'm sold on the Orange motorbike. That piece looks cool.
I thought it was Red.?
Ouch! Owww owww owww owww!!!! Seriously, please! Make it stop. The bright green bricks are burning holes in my retinas.
ok good for you.
OH dear is right i don't really like the look of them now,
i might get some of the smaller ones.
I'll get one or two for the parts. But I'm very disappointed. This theme could have been so much better.
Yeah it could have been better. Its not going to beat the ol rock raiders.
well..... they're better...
Okay, I admit the larger image is good but what I saw scared me. The drill was uber-big and the vehicle was bulky, and the rock monster... UGLY! Either way, they may still be preliminary images and still under construction (perhaps there is still a chance that LEGO doesn't totally ruin Rock Raiders).
the golden age of lego was when every thing was blocky sure it looked farther from the real thing but you could rebuild it into something esle now every thing looks realistic but you can't build it into something else cause of all the custom bricks it sad
I rather like them. I am loving the helmets, it would have been nice to have the old grey and brown ones back but blue is good too. The unusual green is nice, makes a change from all the white and grey of Star Wars any day. I think i will but some of this lego.
As for the "custom" parts, it takes just as much skill to include the "customs" in a MOC as it does to mkae plain bricks resemble something other than a blocky lump. =D
The outfits and idea is cool and I would have gotten they but it's just that they look too juniorized to be lego. The rock raiders were better. Also the rock rock monsters look dumd, Rocky was way better and bigger.
Also the vechicles look way too big, the only one I like is the big one with the razor blades the other are stupid espically the mech.
one of the monsters looks a little like clayface
I know and does any else notice that they are smaller than the originals.
I don't like them that much. The new monsters look ridiculous! Ridiculoysly BAD!
I love the new monsters, if only they were brown to match the origanals
I dunno, I think the new monsters are funny (in a good way). Besides, who knows? lego usually releases more than one line per theme. Maybe the next wave will be better.
I think the new monsters are kinnda cute(he he).
I just noticed something. The symbol looks exactly like the Rock Raiders symbol.
Dynamo you r freaking me out/
Just a quick question... What are "Single Use" elements? Are they Lego bricks that crumble to dust after you take them from their original model?
Or are they just parts that the majority of AFOLs dislike and refuse to try and use in their MOCs or just plain can't due to lack of imagination/creativity?
The latter.
Ugh. Why did they have to choose such a wretched color scheme? When you have a bright color like that, you balance it out with a darker color. For example, there are several transformers that have the very same lime green as these power miners. But instead of orange, the green was paired with dark purple. And you know what? It looked good. But no. Lego discontinues purple bricks, and then makes such an awful color choice. They should have stuck with something earthy with bright-ish accents, like the rock raider sets.
the best picture is when we have one
Well, I have to say, Rock Raiders also had a lot of large pieces so yeah... Anyway, the new scale of pieces in the sets show some promise for customs.
why is everyone being so harsh? If you don't like them, don't buy them. The sets that don't do well get discontinued.
snoboarder31:were just giving are own opinion.
okay, fair enough.
best ones are the mech and the small tracked vehicle.the rest i dont have much to say about .they are kinda like exo force or racers in the way that its teccnic and regular bricks put together .and the bucket wheel on the big set does look nicley done
i just like the helmets
they are awesome :)
OK, I'm going to assume that the set is not actually using the yellow skinned minifigures, or the neon-green coloring on the vehicles.... Right?
Yellow skinned minifigures are Lego, its the peach that are wrong. (not to start an argument or anything, just my opinion)
Why has everyone got such an issue with the colour scheme? Giant big excavation machiens are most often coloured in super bright shades of yellow and green (this has been pointed out before) plus Lego is a childs toy and children do like bright colours. It makes sense to use those shades for mining lego models. It looks like a really cool set with lots of elements that allows for successful combination of technic, new technic and traditional lego blocks in a rare colour. It will see the ressurection of some cool headgear. The only issue i have is the "stock" faces, most small themes had unique characters, but then again looking at the back catalogue there were many stock faces back when i was younger i just couldnt buy enough lego to notice it. Hohum, the uniforms look cool too.
These look quite good, it's a shame i can't get many, if any at all, as i am saving up for the new Castle market place on EB.
Wow, these look....ummm....wierd.....sorry I haven't posted in a while! I'm glad to see some of you here!
Hum... Im skeptic. There transitions between boinicle and real Lego are even more poorly done then mars mission. I might get the drill, it looks at lest half-way decent, and the big rig for nothing more then the orange bike. other then that, it's meh.
Ok sorry for doble-posting, for all who want the orange bike but don't want to spend $70-upwards for a marginal set, there's a town set that has JUST an orange bike. so i take back what i said about getting the big'em.
I like them except for the monters
I think that these sets would be perfect for large real life mioning and construction MODS. The miner's uniforms and helmets would also make a very good Star Wars-Style piolice uniform.
These are better than I origonally thought. Maybe I will buy some- they could be easily morphed for Mars Mission. More miners, more aliens... this is looking up...
I don't like them. they seem old and too childish. I don't like the colour choice.
guys a new picture of the power miners has shown up! heres the link http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3480972
Thanks comandercody654, the crystals look really cool. I might get these yet...
found even better pictures! heres th link http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=3481939
They look O.K....but I don't plan on getting them. I'm gettin the Castle Town Square! It will sell faster than you can say LEGOS!

While in Sydney, Sofia Chang, VP and GM of HBO, has made some carefully worded comments on Australia's penchant for getting Game of Thrones via BitTorrent.
Some critics have blamed Australian pay TV service Foxtel's "outdated" business model for record breaking downloads of HBO's wildly popular show, but is the criticism warranted?
Once again, Game of Thrones has broken all torrenting records -- records the show had already set itself.
Using information from alleged documents leaked by the Sony hackers, Google said the Motion Picture Association of America and Mississippi's attorney general conspired to limit free speech on the Internet.
The torrent site, used to download television shows, movies, games and other files, was shut down for seven weeks.
The Court of Justice says blocking access to piracy sites is a fine way to safeguard copyright owners. EU nations, now it's up to you.
Apple is boosting Beats by buying a music-measuring service, Starbucks will charge your phone by magic, and the X-Files could return.

Over 400 years separated the final events (Nehemiah 13:4-30) and final prophesy recorded in the Old Testament from the beginning actions (Luke 1:5-25) narrated in the New Testament (ca. 424-26 B.C.) Because there was no prophetic word from God during this time, this period is sometimes called the "four hundred silent years". However, the history of these years followed the pattern predicted in Daniel (Dan. 2:24, 45, 7:1-28; 8:1-27; 11:1-35) with exact precision. Though the voice of God was silent, the hand of God was actively directing the course of events during these centuries.
Jewish History
As predicted by Daniel, control of the land of Israel passed from the empire of Meo-Persia to Greece and then to Rome (Dan. 2:39, 40; 7:5-7). For about 200 years, the Persian Empire ruled the Jews (539-332 B.C.). The Persians allowed the Jews to return, rebuild, and worship at the temple in Jerusalem (2. Chronicles 36:22,23; Ezra 1:1-14). For about 100 years after the close of the Old Testament canon, Judea continued to be a Persian territory under the governor of Syria with the High Priest exercising a measure of civil authority. The Jews were allowed to observe their religious tenants without any official governmental authority.
Between 334 B.C. and 331 B.C., Alexander the Great defeated the Persian king Darius III, in 3 decisive battles that gave him control of the lands of the Persian Empire. The land of Israel thus passed into Greek control in 332 B.C. (Dan. 8:5-7, 20, 21; 11:3). Alexander permitted the Jews in Judea to observe their laws and granted them an exemption from taxes during their sabbatical years. However, Alexander sought to bring Greek culture, called "Hellenism", to the lands he had conquered. He wished to create a world united by Greek language and thinking. This policy, carried on by Alexander's successors, was as dangerous to the religion of Israel as the cult of Baal had been, because the Greek way of life was attractive, sophisticated, and humanly appealing, but utterly ungodly.
Upon Alexander's death in 323 B.C., a struggle ensued among his generals as his empire was divided (Dan. 8:22; 11:4). Ptolemy I Sater, founder of the Ptolemis of Egypt, took control of Israel, even though an agreement in 301 B.C. assigned it to Seleucus I Nicator, founder of the Seleucids of Syria. This caused continuing contentions between the Seleucid and Ptolemaic dynasties (Dan. 11:5). The Ptolemies ruled Judea from 301 B.C. to 198 B.C. (Dan. 11:6-12). Under the Ptolemies, the Jews had comparative religious freedom in a setting of economic oppression.
In 198 B.C., Antiochus III the Great defeated Ptolemy V Epiphanes and took control of Palestine (Dan. 11:13-16). Judea was under Seleucid rule until 143 B.C. ((Dan. 11:17-35). Early Seleucid tolerance of Jewish religious practices came to an end in the reign of Antiochus IV Epiphanes (175-164 B.C.) Antiochus desecrated and plundered the temple of Jerusalem in 170 B.C. in 167 B.C., Antiochus ordered Hellenization in Palestine and forbade the Jews from keeping their laws, observing the Sabbath, keeping festivals, offering sacrifices, and circumcising their children. Copies of the Torah were ordered destroyed, idolatrous altars were set up, plus the Jews were commanded by Antiochus to offer unclean sacrifices and to eat swine's flesh. Antiochus was the first pagan monarch to persecute the Jews for their faith. (Daniel 8:9-14, 23-25; 11:21-35).
An aged priest, Mattathias, and his 5 sons led the Jewish resistance against Antiochus and his Seleucid successors, this was known as the Maccabean Revolt because Judas Maccabeus (lit. "Hammer") was the first leader among the 5 sons. After a 24-year war (166-142 B.C.), the Jews were able to gain their independence from Syria because of the growing Roman pressure on the Seleucids. The descendants of Mattathias founded the Hasmonean dynasty, a name derived from Hashmon, an ancestor of the Maccabees.
The Hasmoneans took over the office of High Priest, although they did not belong to the line of Zadok (Num. 25:10-13, Ezek. 40:46; 48:11). Quickly, the Hasmoneans began to follow Hellenistic ways, the very practice they had at first resisted. The Greek influence continued in Palestine from 142 B.C. to 63 B.C. through this native dynasty.
The Hasmonean dynasty ended in 63 B.C. when Pompey, a general of Rome, intervened in a clash between two claimants to the High Priesthood, Aristoblous II and Hyrcanus II. The land thus passed into Roman control (Dan. 2:40; 7:7). Continuing unrest led the Romans to make Herod the Great king of Judea. He was an Idumean by birth, a Jewish proselyte, and thoroughly Greco-Roman in outlook. He ruled Palestine from 37 B.C. to 4 B.C. and was the king of the Jews" when Jesus was born. (Matt. 2:1,2).
Jewish Developments
Diaspora. The dispersion of Israel began in the two exiles, i.e. Israel in Assyria (2 Kings. 17:23) and Judah in Babylon (2 Kings 25:21). The majority of Israelites did not return to Judea after the exile and so became colonists, no longer captives, in the Persian Empire. The geographical movement of Israelites continued in the Greek and Roman Empires so that by the first century A.D., Jews were found throughout the Mediterranean basin and Mesopotamia. The majority of Israelites lived outside of Palestine during the later Intertestamental Period.
Scribes and Rabbis. Believing the Exile had come because of a lack of knowledge of and obedience to the Torah, the Israelite exiles devoted themselves to the study of the Old Testament. The scribes became experts in and were considered authorities on the interpretation of the Scriptures during the Intertestamental Period. The rabbis were the teachers who passed on the scribal understanding of the Scriptures to the people of Israel.
Synagogue. With the destruction of the temple in 586 B.C., the synagogue became the place of education and worship for the Jews in exile. Since the majority of Jews did not return to Palestine after the Exile, synagogues continued to function in the Diaspora and also became established in Palestine, even after the reconstruction of the temple by Zerubbabel in 516 B.C.
Septuagint. With the emphasis placed on using the Greek language from ca. 330 B.C. on, the Jews of the Diaspora became predominately Greek speakers. According to Jewish legend, in ca. 250 B.C., Ptolemy Philadelphus brought together 72 scholars who translated the Old Testament into Greek in 72 days. Thus the Latin word for 70, "Septuagint" (LXX), was the name attached to this translation. Probably translated over the period from 250 B.C. to 125 B.C. in Alexander, Egypt, the Septuagint was the most important and widely used Greek translation of the Old Testament.
Pharisees. This religious party probably began as the "holy ones" associated with the Maccabees in the endeavor to rid the land of Hellenistic elements. When the Maccabees turned themselves to Hellenism once it was in power, the holy ones "separated" (the possible source of the name, Pharisee) from the official religious establishment of Judea. The Pharisees interpreted the law strictly in accordance with a developing oral tradition and sought to make their understanding binding upon all Jews. Though few in number, the Pharisees enjoyed the favor of the majority of the people in Palestine.
Sadducees. Probably from the name "Zadok", the high priestly line, the Hellenized, aristocratic Jews became the guardians of the temple policy and practices. Except for the Torah the Sadducees rejected the Old Testament as Scripture, as well as any teaching they believed was not found in the Torah (the first 5 books of the OT), e.g. the resurrection from the dead (Acts 23:6-8).

The bounty in the hobby stock class was won by Schuyler, Neb.'s Kyle Hein. Hein was out in front for the majority of the feature. Katie Renschler gave Hein a good challenge for the money, but she came up short and finished second.
Dillon Thompson was the man they were all trying to beat. Thompson looked like he was going to keep the bounty alive until next week, but he cut a tire in turn two with 12 laps to go. Thompson got the tire changed, but he only got up to finish third in the feature.
Allen Zimmerman of the "Push Truck Series" is adding another $100 to the winner who can beat Dillon Thompson in the #11*. Allen will add an additional $50 to the winner's purse if we have 20 or more cars show up. Any motor is eligible for this $150.
Smith Engines & Machine Inc. and Potratz Racing engines, both of Grand Island, will add an additional $50 each to the hobby stock bounty winner if they are running a claimer engine, not a crate
Here is all the complete information you need to know for the Hobby Stock Bounty as it stands right now:
$20 NASCAR Pit Pass
$25 NASCAR 15 day license (if you don't have a NASCAR license
$35 hobby stock registration
$150 NASCAR payout
$250 added winner payout
$100 added winner payout

Upgrading to Discoverer 10
On August 14, 2008, the department of Information Technology upgraded the current version of Discoverer to Discoverer 10. The new version of Discoverer has two separate applications associated with it. The Viewer is used for viewing already created reports while Discover 10 Plus is intended to be used by those who create and modify reports. All users have the capability to use either application but only those users with Create privileges will be able to create, revise, and save reports in Discoverer Plus.
The Discoverer button link on the Banner webpage will open Discoverer 10 Viewer, as the majority of users only view reports. There is a link labeled 'Discoverer Plus' located within the list of links on the Banner webpage. Introduction to Discoverer instructions and screenshots can be found on the documentation page.

Evaluating the Tangent Function - Problem 2
We're finding the tangent of other special angles. Right now I want to find the tangent of negative pi over 6. After you draw a diagram, the first thing you have to do is identify the reference angle and the reference angle is the angle between the terminal side and the x axis and you want to choose a positive angle and in this case it would be positive pi over 6.
And then you take the tangent of that angle. The tangent of pi over 6 is root 3 over 3 and finally you have to decide what the sine of tangent is in this quadrant. Now our tangent is positive in the first and third quadrants, so it's going to be negative in the fourth quadrant, therefore the tangent of negative pi over 6 is negative root 3 over 3.

Years ago I bought a root that was supposed to be Thunderbolt. It turned out to be Gay Blade. Some time later, I bought two potted Thunderbolts and planted one in a goodly amount of sun and the other in high shade. The one with lots of sun grew much faster and stronger. To be fair, the one in high shade also is thirty feet from a large green ash tree. This is the one planted in more sun. It's not quite out but still standing through lots of storms hereabout. One of the two produced a green eye. I took that off and threw it in the woods. . boyo, talk about a tough plant. Deep shade and brush doesn't seem to bother it. . one tough hombre. |

Your thunderbolt is beautiful! It's my favorite hosta. I posted some pics of mine last year and someone- I think it was Moccasin, called it a "muscle hosta", which I think is so fitting! Mine is in pretty much full shade, under a cherry tree. The light it gets is sort of all day dappled with direct sun only in the evening. |
I like this hosta too, but mine can't match these two beauties. Gotta move mine to a place where it can stretch and grow. Steve |

Funny thing about Thunderbolt. I planted one a few years ago. It never even came back up the next year. They have them at my local nursery this year,so I may try it again. I have Dream Queen,and it looks similar,and grows quite well for me. I thought it was where I planted it,(Thunderbolt),that is,but I have since planted Dawns Early Light in the same spot,and it is thriving for many years. Nice plants,everyone! Phil |

Beautiful plant! I agree it looks nice and muscular. You've had great success with it. |
weekendweeder, nope, they killed it dead. I just got it in early in the spring, then they ate it multiple times. It was just a small mass of roots with one minuscule eye trying to emerge, then the eye died and the roots rotted. I really like the variegation, so I might try it again in the future. ETA: I do make cages for the hostas sometimes when the rodents get out of control, but the damage happened over the course of 3 days. It had a cage in the end but too damaged by then. |
This post was edited by Eleven on Wed, Jun 26, 13 at 13:49
Phil, if Dream Queen does well for you, why bother trying again with thunderbolt? (unless you want multiples). Dream queen, Dream Weaver, and Thunderbolt all look like the same plant with different names to me. |
- Posted by MadPlanter1 5 Nebraska (My Page) on Wed, Jun 26, 13 at 14:04
Yours is really impressive. Mine is in full shade. It's grown, but is not a big full plant like yours. Dream Queen is a few feet away in a bit more light, and has gotten bigger than Thunderbolt, but is getting squeezed between two S&S. Maybe they'll get moved next year. Thunderbolt is in the background, Dream Queen in front. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Stripes!
Facts about Stripes
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tiger Striped
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Stripes's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Gray and black striped kitten with a little white, about 7-9 weeks old, has been fixed, abandoned by mother and needs a place to call home, same litter as Patches, Charlie, Diamond and Cutie
Other Pets at Plumsted Twp NJ TNR
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Stripes, a New Egypt Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in New Egypt, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in New Egypt.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in New Egypt already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a New Egypt breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in New Egypt paves the way for another one to be saved.

Who knows if this goes anywhere near the man but all the same I felt I should say it in his direction :)
Subject: A young fan already made :) in New Zealand
Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2011 22:44:25 +1200
Hi there all the way from Wellington New Zealand!
Just a quick note to let you know that well obviously I am a great big fan and my wife and I just had our first child on the 3rd July (Tyler Angus Gordon H******y)
During the pregnancy we played music through headphones to Tyler. I was listening to a lot of Black Sabbath and Ozzy's records (mainly No More Tears) and these frequented the listening list :)
In the last weeks of the pregnancy we awoke one night concerned that Tyler had not moved for a while and my wife moved about, drank cold water and used all the tricks to try provoke a response.
There was nothing. We were about to go to the hospital and I decided to put some music on him to see if that would work.
We started with something of hers and there was still nothing.
As a semi joke I suggested No More Tears (the track). Within 30 seconds there was a movement, then more and more, we couldn't stop him after that :)
Now he is a week old and the apple of his parents eyes.
When we cannot settle him, on goes Black Sabbath or his favorite, No More Tears :)
So there you have it.
Quite possibly your youngest fan. ( and a great excuse for his dad to rock Ozz records while he is asleep :) )
Thanks, you rule and we hope to catch you in New Zealand again soon :)

She played fast pitch softball for many years and won two North Dakota State Championships and played in one National Tournament during that time. She was a member of the Softball Hall of Fame of ND. She was known throughout North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin as a sports figure. She participated in ice-skating and was a member of US Figure Skating Association. She was very active in several sports year round. She attended Dakota Business College for three years. She began working at J.C. Penney's in Fargo in bookkeeping and was an accountant for Blue Cross Blue Shield and then First National Bank of Minnesota. She retired due to health in 1974. She moved to New Horizons in 1980 and lived there through 1986. After living in Minneapolis for 10 years, she moved back to Fargo in 1996. Julie enjoyed music--especially singing Gospel and provided music programs at various coffee houses, nursing homes, senior citizen centers, high rise complexes, Bible studies, private homes, and get togethers. Her favorites were the Alzheimer and specialty groups. served on the Board of the Mental Health Associates and did many speaking events on Drugs and Alcohol throughout Fargo area.
Julie is survived by her mother, Tilda Jasperson, Bagley, brothers Dennis A. (Dorothy), Jasperson, New Prague, MN, Larry (Levine), Bagley, MN, sister June (Denny) Young, Alexandria, MN and several nieces and nephews.

Deakin researchers Jo Salmon, David Crawford and Clare Hume have been asked to take part in a major program in Europe to help combat obesity – the ENERGY project which is receiving close to three million Euros in funding from the European Union.
"The aim of the ENERGY project is to examine the influence of existing programs on health behaviours in different populations and settings," said Associate Professor Jo Salmon.
"This will then allow us to develop an evidence and theory-based approach for promoting physical activity and healthy eating among youth in transition from childhood to adolescence.
"The results of this project will be translated into practical strategies and knowledge that can be used by schools, policymakers, health professionals and the general public both in Europe and Australia.
"For Deakin to be selected as the only non-European based participant reflects very positively on the work we have been doing here, particularly within the Centre for Physical Activity and Nutrition.
"All research these days needs to be of the highest international standard. Our selection is a very powerful sign that we are achieving that standard." The ENERGY project involves a multidisciplinary team of investigators from 10 European countries as well as the Deakin team.
The Principal Investigator is Hans Brug from VUMC, Netherlands.
The Deakin researchers will participate in two of the 10 work packages in the proposal.
"The aims of these work packages are to identify the personal, social and physical environmental determinants in family and school of children's physical activity and healthy eating and to identify moderators and mediators of successful interventions to prevent obesity among children aged 10-12 years," Professor Salmon said.

The late Margaret Burgess lived in the old Yellow House for over 81 years. She was four years old when her family moved from North Carolina. The family understood Chester had better schools than what their home town had to offer. Burgess remembered the streetcars she would see on her walk to school and how neat her father kept the cemetery located next to their home. She also recalled with a gleam in her eye how she and her sister would slide down the banister on the elegant staircase in the center of her home.
But history tells us there is an even deeper story behind the old Yellow House. It's not the size of the house or the design, or even the house itself, but what went on around it 150 years ago in May and ending on May 17, 1864. The house remained standing though in the center of a series of battles that led up to the capture of Richmond by the Federals, which ended the Civil War. Battle scars made by musket balls and pieces of exploding bomb shells, remain on the house today. There are stories of how the southern General Beauregard had his headquarters there temporarily while he had the Yankee General Butler bottle up at Bermuda Hundred. Although no one knows for sure if this was true.
During the early part of May, when General Butler was attempting his move toward Richmond and just days after the Battle of Chester Station, in which the Federal succeeded in blowing up part of the rail line there, Butler's troops had moved from Bermuda Hundred up to the turnpike (Jefferson Davis Highway). Beauregard organized to push them back. From the book War of the Rebellion, Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies:
"May 15 – Attack of 10,000 to 12,000 enemy cavalry upon Richmond was reported as imminent. General Whiting reported Petersburg much exposed. Regiments were ordered in from Macon, Georgia and Savannah, Georgia, for eventualities. General Beauregard organized for an attack at Drewry's Bluff by infantry and artillery. The wounded that were able to fight were ordered back to the lines. Army organized into three divisions (right, left and reserve) under Major Generals Hoke, Ransom and Brigadier General Colquitt. Ransom at left behind trenches on Kingsland Creek. Hokes line crossed the road to the turnpike. Colquitt's reserves centered on the turnpike…The Federals outnumbered the Confederates who had about 16,000 men."
"May 16, 4:45 a.m. (daybreak) – Ransom attacked. The enemy resistance weakened. 6:30 a.m. General Beauregard reported satisfactory progress; General Ransom turning enemy's James River flank, pressing the enemy back in front center. Ransom stormed breastwork and took four stands of colors and 300 prisoners. General Hoke and Colquitt attacked on the right drove enemy back capturing several siege pieces and many prisoners. 1:15 General Beauregard in personal command on turnpike prepared for combined attack. 5:15 Enemy driven to south side of Proctor's Creek and east of railroad and also from part of turnpike. Combined attack on Proctor's Creek begun."
"May 17, 7 a.m. – The general advance commenced. Enemy retreating. Whiting's Division cut its way through enemy, joined the attack about noon and formed right wing. Enemy forced back to his lines across Bermuda Hundred Neck and his forces neutralized. Federal losses 4,350. Confederates losses 2,730."
A marker rests at the corner of the Burgess property, which was erected by the Chester Station Camp No. 1503 of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans. Recognizing the battle that took place in the Bermuda Hundred Campaign.
Another report of the combat that took place around the Yellow House is that of James Marcus Gregory, who later became a distinguished lawyer and judge in Chesterfield County and served on the State Legislature. His portrait hangs in the Chesterfield Courthouse today. Part of this story goes like this: "The exploding enemy bomb shell, which struck his hip in the Battle of the Yellow House, left him unconscious and so severely wounded that his comrades believed him to be dead and moved on. After many hours he regained consciousness and, all alone, he dragged himself to a small sapling, which he broke down and after breaking out the forked top he used it as a crutch and hobbled about seven miles to "Rockwood" his father's home on the Patrick Henry Highway where it crosses the Court House Road. He received a military distinction for bravery."
Stories of bravery and loss surround the Battle of the Yellow House, but years later life at Yellow House was much lighter. Under the ownership of the Burgess family the home has been the center of many family gatherings. And although the exterior of the house has had its share of damage the interior remains warm and inviting with its curved staircase and antique furnishings. An antique trunk graces the landing at the top of the stairs that was once used to hide valuables during the war. It was the habit of southerners, who were in the path of northern forces, to store their heirlooms in a trunk and when invasion was imminent, the trunk would be whisked away and hidden in the woods until the danger of looting had passed. And then another reminder of the past, in an upstairs hallway, a framed presentation of Confederate currency, which serves as a vehicle to take us back to the battlefield almost forgotten.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no child-like faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies!

My computers are troganized, even thats not a word it happened. My router has me locked out of admin, may I mind you it mind. Computers off line and router gone. If I was not in the Bahamas I would go to Walmart and The Shack and gear up. I am not so I am at a loss until I get back to the US. To add more fire, the cable modem is finished on 17 Dec 2010 and they can not replace it or even sens a tech out until 6 jan 2011, that right 2011 and I still have to pay the bill. Pray for not to lose it all......
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed and Healthy New Year, Take care and stay safe!

Basics of libuv¶
libuv enforces an asynchronous, event-driven style of programming. Its core job is to provide an event loop and callback based notifications of I/O and other activities. libuv offers core utilities like timers, non-blocking networking support, asynchronous file system access, child processes and more.
Event loops¶
In event-driven programming, an application expresses interest in certain events and respond to them when they occur. The responsibility of gathering events from the operating system or monitoring other sources of events is handled by libuv, and the user can register callbacks to be invoked when an event occurs. The event-loop usually keeps running forever. In pseudocode:
while there are still events to process:
e = get the next event
if there is a callback associated with e:
call the callback
Some examples of events are:
- File is ready for writing
- A socket has data ready to be read
- A timer has timed out
This event loop is encapsulated by uv_run() – the end-all function when using libuv.
The most common activity of systems programs is to deal with input and output, rather than a lot of number-crunching. The problem with using conventional input/output functions (read, fprintf, etc.) is that they are blocking. The actual write to a hard disk or reading from a network, takes a disproportionately long time compared to the speed of the processor. The functions don't return until the task is done, so that your program is doing nothing. For programs which require high performance this is a major roadblock as other activities and other I/O operations are kept waiting.
One of the standard solutions is to use threads. Each blocking I/O operation is started in a separate thread (or in a thread pool). When the blocking function gets invoked in the thread, the processor can schedule another thread to run, which actually needs the CPU.
The approach followed by libuv uses another style, which is the asynchronous, non-blocking style. Most modern operating systems provide event notification subsystems. For example, a normal read call on a socket would block until the sender actually sent something. Instead, the application can request the operating system to watch the socket and put an event notification in the queue. The application can inspect the events at its convenience (perhaps doing some number crunching before to use the processor to the maximum) and grab the data. It is asynchronous because the application expressed interest at one point, then used the data at another point (in time and space). It is non-blocking because the application process was free to do other tasks. This fits in well with libuv's event-loop approach, since the operating system events can be treated as just another libuv event. The non-blocking ensures that other events can continue to be handled as fast they come in [1].
How the I/O is run in the background is not of our concern, but due to the way our computer hardware works, with the thread as the basic unit of the processor, libuv and OSes will usually run background/worker threads and/or polling to perform tasks in a non-blocking manner.
Bert Belder, one of the libuv core developers has a small video explaining the architecture of libuv and its background. If you have no prior experience with either libuv or libev, it is a quick, useful watch.
Hello World¶
With the basics out of the way, lets write our first libuv program. It does nothing, except start a loop which will exit immediately.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | #include <stdio.h>
#include <uv.h>
int main() {
uv_loop_t *loop = uv_loop_new();
printf("Now quitting.\n");
uv_run(loop, UV_RUN_DEFAULT);
return 0;
This program quits immediately because it has no events to process. A libuv event loop has to be told to watch out for events using the various API functions.
Default loop¶
A default loop is provided by libuv and can be accessed using uv_default_loop(). You should use this loop if you only want a single loop.
node.js uses the default loop as its main loop. If you are writing bindings you should be aware of this.
Error handling¶
libuv functions which may fail return -1 on error. The error code itself is set on the event loop as last_err. Use uv_last_error(loop) to get a uv_err_t which has a code member with the error code. code is an enumeration of UV_* as defined here:
libuv error codes

You can use the uv_strerror(uv_err_t) and uv_err_name(uv_err_t) functions to get a const char * describing the error or the error name respectively.
Async callbacks have a status argument as the last argument. Use this instead of the return value.
Watchers are how users of libuv express interest in particular events. Watchers are opaque structs named as uv_TYPE_t where type signifies what the watcher is used for. A full list of watchers supported by libuv is:
libuv watchers
typedef struct uv_udp_s uv_udp_t;
typedef struct uv_pipe_s uv_pipe_t;
typedef struct uv_tty_s uv_tty_t;
typedef struct uv_poll_s uv_poll_t;
typedef struct uv_timer_s uv_timer_t;
typedef struct uv_prepare_s uv_prepare_t;
typedef struct uv_check_s uv_check_t;
typedef struct uv_idle_s uv_idle_t;
typedef struct uv_async_s uv_async_t;
typedef struct uv_process_s uv_process_t;
typedef struct uv_fs_event_s uv_fs_event_t;
typedef struct uv_fs_poll_s uv_fs_poll_t;
typedef struct uv_signal_s uv_signal_t;
/* Request types. */
typedef struct uv_req_s uv_req_t;
typedef struct uv_getaddrinfo_s uv_getaddrinfo_t;
typedef struct uv_shutdown_s uv_shutdown_t;
All watcher structs are subclasses of uv_handle_t and often referred to as handles in libuv and in this text.
Watchers are setup by a corresponding:
Some watcher initialization functions require the loop as a first argument.
A watcher is set to actually listen for events by invoking:
uv_TYPE_start(uv_TYPE_t*, callback)
and stopped by calling the corresponding:
Callbacks are functions which are called by libuv whenever an event the watcher is interested in has taken place. Application specific logic will usually be implemented in the callback. For example, an IO watcher's callback will receive the data read from a file, a timer callback will be triggered on timeout and so on.
Here is an example of using a watcher. An idle watcher's callback is repeatedly called. There are some deeper semantics, discussed in Utilities, but we'll ignore them for now. Let's just use an idle watcher to look at the watcher life cycle and see how uv_run() will now block because a watcher is present. The idle watcher is stopped when the count is reached and uv_run() exits since no event watchers are active.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <uv.h>
int64_t counter = 0;
void wait_for_a_while(uv_idle_t* handle, int status) {
if (counter >= 10e6)
int main() {
uv_idle_t idler;
uv_idle_init(uv_default_loop(), &idler);
uv_idle_start(&idler, wait_for_a_while);
uv_run(uv_default_loop(), UV_RUN_DEFAULT);
return 0;
void *data pattern
note about not necessarily creating type structs on the stack
[1] | Depending on the capacity of the hardware of course. |

In the Christian's view and hold of the truth of Christ,it is his duty and his strenght to see and grasp central truths as such.There are suns,planets,and satellites in the system of the blessed Gospel.And as in the ancient astronomy the great error about the sun's relation to our system occasioned manifold other confusion,so it may be in the astronomy of the upper skies.To put a planetary truth into a solar place must be a mastake fruitful of mistakes.To put a solar truth in the centre,and its planetary truths around it,and in connextion with it,will surely be good both for mind and soul;that is to say,if the adjustment is made" in spirit and in truth," not as a matter of mere theory or discussion,but for translation,by the grace of God,into the life of faith.Assuredly the planets will not lose lustre,nor their movements in majesty,for such a recognition of the place and function of their sun.
The supreme Sun of the spiritual universe,the ultimate Reason of everything in the world and work of Grace,is the GLORY OF GOD.
Whole systems of truth move in subordinate relation to this;this is subordinate to nothing.But we are thinking now of one
subordinate system,and of its sun,supreme within that circle.The system is the revealed way of fallen man's salvation.The solar truth of that system,ruling and harmonizing the rest,is the Union of the Lord Christ and His people.
It is the truth conveyed in the phrase " in Christ".It is the truth of the Head and the Body,the Limbs of the Body,the Branch and the root;words which are but shadows of the solid and eternal realities behind them.
And thus all views of Gospel doctrines which take no acount of this are in adequate.The views may be true in themselves;they may avail to effect great and gracious results; but they are inadequate,and the believer must lose more or less by this inadequacy.God forbid I should say,or dream of saying,that the truth of vital and covenant union with Christ
is a truth whose definite mental recognition is necessary to the soul's salvation.But I do say ,with the Holy Scriptures open before me,that the neglect of it,or avoidance of it,is a loss to the soul,a loss of strength,of repose,of insight into the reason of our hope,and into a great secret of growthin the divine life.
Nothing ought to be more intensely and directly practical than a clear apprehension and firm hold of my one-ness with Jesus Christ,one-ness in spiritual life,oneness in intrest and standing. It is a truth of heavenly gold for daily life.It is for the young Christian and the mature.To grasp this simple fact is to pour into the heart new power.
"I am the Vine:you are the branches.If a man remains in me and I in him,he will bear much fruit;apart form me you can do nothing."John 15 :5
