Pirates Low Profile in Monsoon Season
NATO Shipping Centre promulgates its latest weekly piracy assessment for the 'High Risk Area' During the reporting period 7 – 13, June 2012, the number of piracy incidents in the High Risk Area (HRA) has remained low, with no incidents reported. Due to the South-West monsoon between June and September, sea conditions in the HRA are expected to be generally unfavourable for small boats. Pirate Activity Groups (PAG) will likely continue to focus their limited efforts in the Northern Arabian Sea (NAS), Gulf of Oman (GOO) as well as in the Gulf of Aden (GOA) and South Red Sea (SRS). Southern Red Sea (SRS)/Bab Al Mandeb (BAM) / Gulf of Aden (GOA)/Internationally Recommended Transit Corridor (IRTC): There have been no significant changes over the past week. Masters are advised that fishing activity is expected to continue and likely increase in this area over the next few months. Arabian Sea (AS)/Greater Somali Basin (SB)/Gulf of Oman (GOO)/Mozambique Channel (MC): There have been no significant changes over last week in this region.
Three Sailors Die When Fishing Boat Sinks
Three Egyptian sailors died and four are missing at sea after their fishing boat sank in bad weather off the coast of Port Said, the state-owned Middle East News Agency (MENA) said. The deaths were the first casualties reported since Egypt closed five ports on the Red Sea and Mediterranean Sea on Tuesday because of bad weather.

« El Primero's limit is that there is no limit! » Thierry Nataf. President and CEO of ZENITH International
August 12, 2009 12:00 by Aarti Nagraj
El Primero, symbol of excellence, is the first integrated automatic chronograph movement capable of measuring short periods of time with one tenth of a second accuracy.
1969, the world, eyes riveted to the TV screens, followed with bated breath Neil Armstrong's the first steps on the moon. The public was tremendously excited by the conquest of space, the dream of absolute and limitless freedom that unites all people.
Developed in 1969, rapidly becoming the benchmark of watchmaking, the El Primero 400 – its Esperanto name expresses the concept of humanistic universality – illustrates the creative genius and subtlety of ZENITH Manufacture. Almost academic in design, making no concessions to anything unessential, El Primero is a masterpiece of innovation. Its perfect integration enables a movement that occupies very little space to be both reliable and accurate: the position of each plate, each gear and each component is optimized. Furthermore, the column wheel, the real conductor of the chronograph, centralizes and coordinates the orders transmitted by the push-buttons. Unrivalled to date, El Primero is the only chronograph movement capable of measuring short periods of time with 1/10th of a second accuracy, a performance made possible by using a balance that oscillates at 36,000 vibrations per hour. This absolute accuracy means that the movement passes the tests of the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute. As a double push-button chronograph with over 50 hours of autonomy, this movement – which also has an instantaneous jump calendar – can accept other complication add-ons: Triple Calendar, Moon Phase, Flyback…
Accurate, reliable and sophisticated, the El Primero, with its pearly, angular, planished decoration, is a symbol of excellence: it is a testimonial to the art of watchmaking down through the centuries and represents the pinnacle of watchmaking accomplishment. It will be the basis for the various current models of the 4000 series, with their new integral complications, the famous OPEN (4021) being a good example.
Tourbillon, Open versions, power reserve, Grande Date, Flyback are the complications that have transformed, completed and perfected this exceptional movement; just five years ago, no-one would have imagined that these complications could feature on a high frequency calibre. The calibre requires a total of nine months of work, needs 5 to 50 separate operations per piece, demands 50 separate grinding operations for the bridge dimensions. Twenty watchmakers are actively involved in making one movement and no fewer than 18 different metals are used.
Always copied but never equalled, the El Primero today is a watch movementphilosophy that comes in 23 versions. They are the basis for collections such asACADEMY, CHRONOMASTER and CLASS for the classical models, DEFY and PORTROYAL for the modern lines, and STAR and STARISSIME for the ladies timepieces.
Today the El Primero is centre stage, where it occupies a dominating position in thechronograph family.
In 2009, ZENITH celebrates the 40th anniversary of the El Primero which was createdin 1969.This occasion is marked by the launch of two special series celebrating the firsttimepiece to be fitted with the legendary El Primero calibre: The Originals and NewVintage 69.
The El Primero calibre for these Anniversary series has been named the 469 in noddingacknowledgement of the year in which the original model was created. This automaticDate Chronograph movement comprises 278 components and 31 rubies.The tribute is orchestrated in 3 parts, with three materials for the same (40 mm) casedesign directly inspired by the original model, in a collector's limited edition series.
« We will re-issue the stainless steel models, produce a more refined gold version andbring them into the 21st Century with a titanium version" announced Thierry Nataf."We want to celebrate the present unpretentiously, but, with a great deal of relevanceand talent, I hope, in honour of a model that is now a true legend ».
The first series, named « The Originals », is faithful to the vintage design, but with asubtle twist for the counters which meet and almost touch at the centre of the dial.
The second collection, « New Vintage 1969 », comprises models also inspired by theoriginal model. The El Primero Anniversary logo on the dial at 7 o'clock is echoed in theengraving on the transparent sapphire back of the case -a special detail thatimmediately commands attention. The dials in this series are crossed by an unusualband of light.
This dazzling trademark range, the embodiment of the acceleration of time between1969 and 2009, is etched with all the historical guilloches of the ZENITH collections:Barleycorn, Clou de Paris, Draughtboard and Grand Clou de Paris.The ray of energy also runs through the Open El Primero 4021 icons in everyChronomaster, Class, Defy and Port Royal collection that will be re-issued in rose goldand stainless steel with a silver guilloche dial for this 40th anniversary.
The pieces of the New Vintage 69 collection will all be available in a limited andnumbered series, during 2009 only.

"El Primero" is Spanish, not Esperanto.
Well, it could be Esperanto, but it wouldn't make much sense. In Spanish "El Primero" means "The First." In Esperanto, "El Primero" means "Out of an element of the prime number."

An excellent addition to any DS owners' library
As I--and many--argue, gameplay is the most important aspect of a game. Arguably, without this aspect a game would crumble. Professor Layton, however, excels in this aspect. Nearly every one of the puzzles made me think logically; almost all of the answers are something seemingly incorrect. Albeit there were a few easy puzzles that I solved with a mere glance, most of the puzzles made me sit down and think "how does this work?"
As if the puzzles weren't enough (most any other game developer would probably release this game as a compilation as puzzles as opposed to a full-fledged game), you explore St. Mystere, interacting with the villagers and uncovering hints, items, and bonus puzzles. The game is very friendly to both hardcore and casual gamers, allowing people to clip along at a quick pace, or take their time to solve every puzzle that they come across.
The gameplay, overall, was superbly well done. I could barely keep myself from playing start to finish. To top it all off, there is a new downloadable puzzle every week. Unfortunately, hackers have uncovered that the puzzles are actually already on the cartridge and connecting to WiFi merely unlocks them, so that probably won't last very long. But while it does, the bonus "downloadable" puzzles are quite entertaining, and provide an extra chunk of entertainment for gamers already finished with the main game.
One of my favorite things to see in a game is a fantastic story that keeps me drooling for more. That is exactly what Layton serves up; an intriguing, mysterious story. Professor Layton and his apprentice, Luke, are called to St. Mystere to investigate a so-called "Golden Apple," which if found, will grant the finder a late baron's entire wealth and estate. As the story proceeds, you continue to unlock more and more mysteries that keep you guessing as to who--or what--is behind the strange happenings of St. Mystere.
However, as good as the story is, there was one thing that I disliked. I never really connected with the characters as if they were real people--specifically, Professor Layton and Luke. I've seen that done incredibly well in another one of my favorite DS games, Hotel Dusk: Room 215, in which I connected with the interestingly woven characters incredible well. But in this game, the characters felt dead, so to say. Albeit this minor complaint, the story is superbly enacted out throughout the entire game.
The graphic style is unique. It is unlike everything that we have seen before. The characters vary in sizes and shape--even completely round. The color in the game is a mix of vibrant with pale and dull colors, providing a quite good contrast. In game graphics are just as stunning with beautiful cut scenes and amazing backgrounds. However, there are a few jagged edges on a couple of the characters and you can see a bit of image noise during the cut scenes. Overall, however, the graphics are some of the best 2D graphics that the system has to offer.
As I mentioned last paragraph, there are beautiful cut scenes, but I didn't mention that they are fully voice-acted. The characters are chosen superbly (save for a couple) and the voice-acting is some of the best in a Nintendo game. Only one character's voice did I dislike, and that was Luke. He seemed too whiny to me. Despite that, the characters are wonderfully voice-acted and it really adds a whole new level of interactivity to the game.
Music is an important aspect of a game. It can set the mood for an important scene, or present a situation in a different way. Professor Layton's music is well-done. From the first menu, the gamer is presented with clever little tunes that present the correct mood for the game: mystery. While a few of the songs are a bit repetitive, most of the game's songs are incredible.
Professor Layton and the Curious Village is a wonderful little game that will keep you entertained. While the adventure is a bit short (I completed it in 12 hours or so), it is well worth the $35.00 price tag. I recommend picking up this rare gem.

This record is just awesome. Linkin park brought some traces form their old albums to get back to the old style. And they mixed it up with the heavy electric stuff and It just seemed awesome.Abhiram Ravi

Uh-mazing album
Living Things is according to me, the best linkin park album yet, and one of the best ever made. Linkin Park have truly evolved to something that mankind can really look up to, and have reached unfathomable heights of awesomeness. Take rock, hip-hop, rap, melody, alternative, mix them all together, sprinkle some electro, pop and death-metal, and add that chemical-X of Linkin Park - Voila! You have "Living Things". The very beauty of the album lies in the fact that you are hit in all directions by different types of music while listening to the album at a stretch. Beautiful! At the end of 36 m… (Expand)Vaibhav Kapoor

Amazing album.. Amazing service by Flipkart
First of all thanks to Flipkart for delivering the album the day before the actual release of the album. I was surprised to see Flipkart gave me a Linkin Park poster along with the album for free (I pre-ordered the cd on May 2012). The album is simply amazing esp. Lost in the echo, Castle of glass, Victimised, Roads Untraveled and Powerless. It is totally a different album compared to their prequels. Once again thanks for flipkart for the excellent service.Arpan Jain

Ok so, I am a huge Linkin Park fan. I wanted to make that point before anything else.

It took 15 years of pioneering work and enterprise, with funding from Action Medical Research and Venture Capital, to develop the fetal heart monitor. Researchers believe the device has the potential to benefit 70,000 at risk babies a year in the UK alone.
Statistics show that as many as 10 babies a day are stillborn in the UK and 10 per cent of all pregnancies each year are high risk. The monitor lets doctors read signals produced naturally by the unborn baby's heart. They can then intervene if necessary and potentially save their lives.
The fetal monitor is the result of years of collaborative work between engineers and doctors at the University. The original research was carried out by Dr John Crowe and Dr Barrie Hayes-Gill in the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) and Professor David James and Dr Margaret Ramsay in the School of Human Development. In 2005 the technology was spun out to create Monica Healthcare Ltd. Led by both Dr Hayes-Gill and two ex PhD researchers from EEE, Dr Carl Barratt and Jean Francois Pieri, the company has gone on to develop the monitor even further.
This highly sensitive device, which is able to detect 0.00000001 volts, has now been reduced to the size of a mobile phone. It can compute real time fetal readings and the resulting data can be transmitted by wireless technology to the nearest PC or hand held computer. The device has now passed all EU regulatory safety standards and is currently undergoing clinical trials.

Pawtucket Red Sox player Daniel Nava has been leaving a ticket for ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews at every game for the past three years. He has yet to meet her. Read about why he continues this tradition. Also, national columnists try to figure out cyclist Floyd Landis and whether he's telling the truth about Lance Armstrong, and University of Kentucky coach John Calipari is taking heat again, but this time it's for his recruiting practices.
A Connecticut motorcycle racer died after a crash during Sunday's Loudon Road Race Series event at New Hampshire International Speedway. Morgan Rose of New Haven, Conn., was a novice racer who had been riding in the series for about a year, according to Loudon Road Race Series director Don Hutchinson. Hutchinson, who did not witness the event, told the Concord Monitor that Rose's motorcycle, a SuperSport-class Suzuki, collided with another rider's bike while they were racing side by side.
On the heels of Tuesday's incident in Orlando, where referee Joe DeRosa and an Orlando Magic fan got into a dispute, we scanned the web for other confrontations between fans and officials. We found video of many memorable incidents — some with Boston connections, including a fan-referee wresling match during the Celtics' legendary 1976 NBA finals triple-overtime win over the Suns. Check out the top 10 at the LEEInks blog.
Canadian doctor Anthony Galea is facing federal charges for allegedly traveling to U.S. cities (including Boston) and injecting athletes with performance enhancing drugs. However, Galea has at least one supporter: former NFL player and admitted steroid user Bill Romanowski, who calls Galea a "pioneer in sports medicine." Galea probably won't be thanking Romanowski for that endorsement. In other news, Lakers coach Phil Jackson reportedly has been told he'll need to take a 60 percent pay cut if he wants to return to the team next season.
American cyclist Floyd Landis, who was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title after being charged with doping, sent e-mails to cycling officials and sponsors admitting and detailing his use of performance enhancing drugs, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. Landis also accused other riders and officials of participating in doping, including seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong.
It's been an up-and-down year in Boston sports. There have been more than a few humbling defeats by the local teams, with the most recent embarrassment coming Monday at Yankee Stadium. In today's LEEInks list, we look at the worst losses of 2010. Check it out here.
Marlins shortstop (and former Red Sox farmhand) Hanley Ramirez does not have many supporters in his dispute with manager Fredi Gonzalez. Ramirez was benched following his lazy jog after a ball he booted in Monday's game, and he lashed out at his manager afterward. But Gonzalez isn't backing down. One national writer calls this Gonzalez' "finest hour." Read more about that, plus find out where the Red Sox rank on Forbes' list of the most valuable sports team brands.
"You must never be satisfied with losing. You must get angry, terribly angry, about losing. But the mark of the good loser is that he takes his anger out on himself and not his victorious opponents or on his teammates." — Dick Nixon
The hot rumor over the past few days was that John Calipari would leave the University of Kentucky and coach LeBron James with the Chciago Bulls. One national columnist says the part about LeBron going to Chicago is right, but the coach won't be Calipari. Instead, it will be Doc Rivers, who has refused to sign an extension with the Celtics and would relish the opportunity to return home and coach the world's best player.

Grosse Pointe Pier Remains
I headed out this morning with Rick Seidel to shoot the sunrise at Grosse Point Lighthouse Park in Evanston. We got there just in time for the clouds to turn pink. We hoped that it would develop into a better sunrise, but it turned out we got the best light right when we got there. If you're looking for something a little different than the usual stuff around Chicago, this is a nice place to practice these types of shots.
The Photographer's Ephemeris
I want to thank my parents, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and my wife for all of the Apple gift cards for my birthdays and Christmas over the past year. I saved up enough of them for my first iPad and I am loving it.
Last night before heading out, I tried an app called The Photographer's Ephemeris for the iPad. You can select any location in the world and it will show you the exact direction that the sun and moon will rise and set for any day of the year. You could use this to figure out where you would need to be standing to get the moon to rise directly over a given subject. For this morning's shoot, I learned that the sun would rise out over the lake (duh), but I can see this coming in handy in the future.

In the Kitchen with Chef Tamasin Day-Lewis
Tamasin Day-Lewis.
Heralding frugality, but not at the expense of good taste, Day-Lewis says she didn't want to write a book that "smacked of wartime mentality." "The major recession," she stresses, "doesn't stop you from wanting to eat well. You can spend money on one ingredient and then pare the rest down. People overbuy. It's about thinking creatively and making the most of your ingredients to bring out the sharp as well as the sweet!"
Perhaps Day-Lewis's budget-minded resourcefulness stems from her history of culinary improvisation. After five years of eating what she describes as "foul institutional boarding school" food, Day-Lewis entered Kings College at Cambridge resolved to make a change. For her, there was no other option but to learn how to cook. Her experiments, she recalls, began in an inadequate kitchen with an inadequate stove and without a Michelin budget. Easily impressed students would offer free wine and cleaning services in exchange for a well-cooked meal.
She was not an instant Alice Waters. Day-Lewis remembers a gamey situation when she decided to cook for the librarian. "I never cooked pheasant before and when someone told me to age them for five days, I didn't realize they had to be hung somewhere cool, like my barn, which is –2 degrees and falling. So when I went to cook them, they were still crawling. I had to go out and buy chickens." (Squeamish at the thought of plucking and gutting? Day-Lewis might accuse you of being an "un-country bumpkin.")
But with practice comes wisdom, and Day-Lewis has some surefire advice for those struggling in Home Ec. She says a Sunday roast—to her, a basic requirement for every cook—comes down to a simple task: stuffing the bird with whatever you want. (Put like this, a roast seems like a no-brainer, but I fear Day-Lewis's sense of modest expertise overestimates the layman's skills.) For an impromptu dinner party, she recommends a delectable carbonara (good pasta, prosciutto, and a couple of other ingredients you probably have laying around your cupboard). She also suggests that you don't skimp on a spice rack. And don't worry about fancy kitchen tools. Day-Lewis swears by the humble wooden spoon.
Considering the title of her book, which song best suits Day-Lewis's supper? Without a doubt, she says, her son Harry's rendition of Leonard Cohen's soulful "Hallelujah," because "there is nothing like your own son serenading you in the kitchen."

Watch These Cats Battling Vacuum Cleaners
Cats have many enemies — dogs are the obvious one, but they have several other rivalries as well.
Cats have many enemies — dogs are the obvious one, but they have several other rivalries as well.
Think a cat's claws are its most dangerous weapon? Think again.
Sometimes it's just too bright out there and even closing your eyes isn't enough.
They're supposed to be archenemies, right? But you'd never know it by how these cats and dogs are behaving.
This just might be the best commercial for a mobile network with a singing cat that you'll ever see.
As Lori had mentioned in an earlier story, today is 'Love your pet day.'
In her Top 5 list of ways to celebrate, I was surprised she didn't put 'bring your pet to the office.'
Kittens playing with dogs. Kittens playing with bunnies. There's even a kitten playing with a hedgehog. A hedgehog!
Cats have, shall we say, a bit of a reputation for being not the friendliest of species. We would like to dispel that myth.
"Cats always land on their feet," as the saying goes. Well, not all cats.
This cat should have one very simple New Year's resolution: share.
Cats may have nine lives, but these two felines have almost as many zeroes in their bank account.
Forget about what the fox says. Worry about what the cat says.

April 3
As I pack the final shirts and toys in our bag for Paris, my heart is both so ready to go, and so torn at the same time. I'm trying to write about travel deals or reviews of hotels before we go, but just keep thinking about the message that life is sometimes all together too short, and while miles and points are a renewable resource, time is not.
This day started in an excited way as I had gotten home from a work trip while my daughter slept overnight. She was excited to see me as the day started, we practiced our (horrible) French, and got checked into our flights. As we were still snuggled in bed relaxing on the precipitous of the adventure that was soon to come, my dad came over early with some news that one of his best friends had unexpectedly passed away overnight.
I suppose once folks reach a certain age this isn't a unique occurrence, but it is one that when it happens out of the blue will still take all of the wind out of your sails, and the breath out of your throat. In its place is a lump and a heaviness that envelopes your soul. You know it could have been anyone, and that one day it will be everyone that you know, including yourself. While losing this close family friend would have naturally been a blow on any day of the year, this happened to occur on the first full day of my mom's first adventure to Europe. He and his wife are my mom's close friends as well, and I knew all too well that my mom will feel a strong pull to be here once the news reaches her. Even if she physically is not here, I'm sure some of her heart will be.
My heart hurt knowing the news that was waiting for her in her inbox that will undoubtedly change the tone of her trip once she reads it. My heart knowing my dad was here alone to wade through the shock and sadness that comes with these type of events. Naturally my heart also for the family that lost their gregarious patriarch.
I don't yet know exactly how this very sad occurrence will impact my mom's big adventure, but I do know that regardless of the timing that couldn't have been predicted, I'm glad she took the trip. My parents are very diligent about taking their "Bucket List" trips, and I'm most thankful that miles and points enable them to take some adventures now that they otherwise might not yet have gotten to. Heck, even being in your 30's as my husband and I are doesn't exempt you from illnesses and other unexpected happenings that can limit or eliminate your ability to travel overnight, so I am also grateful for the trips I am able to take now.
I don't know when my life and traveling will come to an end, and hopefully that end is still quite a long way down my journey. However, I do know that I don't have regrets about what I didn't yet get to do, or didn't yet get to see. Miles and points (and a supportive family) have enabled me to not make a list of things I want to do "someday", but instead live life doing those things yesterday, today, and God willing, tomorrow.
Y'all life is short. Don't put off the trips and other things you want to do longer than you have to. Take them now.
16 Responses to "Life is Short, Travel Now"
I want to thank you for posting this. I'm a twitter follower of yours and have been reading your blog for a couple of years now. Two weeks ago my grandmother passed after only finding out 3 weeks prior she had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. I was shocked because I had just seen her over the holidays, and it truly showed me that time is short. That is why I finally applied for my passport and am deciding to visit Australia where my girlfriend is studying abroad, who I plan on proposing to. Life is too short to not make memories with the ones you love, and I'm blessed that what little points I have at my young age will allow me to make a memory that I will never forget. God Bless.
Young and Grateful, so sorry to hear about your grandmother. How very exciting and inspiring that you are turning the loss of your grandmother into some positive actions. I hope you have an amazing trip to Australia and best wishes with the proposal!
Excellent post. So much of the world to see, and limited time. I travel whenever I can – within the United States and international trips. My parents are retired and they are also traveling to other countries. I'm considering a trip to Paris this Christmas – using miles of course. I look forward to reading your reports on Paris.
Nicely said.
Oh, my heart goes out to your dad, your mom, and you
Thank you! Finishing up college and decided that it is worth the financial hardship to be able to travel when you're young. SO much to learn and see.
Summer, what an excellent and, unfortunately timely, post. When I was traveling alone on my Lufthansa First Class "blowout" miles trip in January, my husband (who was home) got a call that his best friend's wife passed away extremely unexpectedly. I was in Munich when I found out. It was hard handling that alone, and I know my husband felt that way, too. I'm glad I was on the homeward portion of my journey. This was a couple we traveled with often, and had future travel plans together. We're so glad we have the memories of some great trips and great times with them. And, we're mindful of inviting our friend to join us when it works out (like when we have a condo in Hawaii) so he can still travel some and not be alone.
Is why I love miles/points, since we have such little time for vacationing in this country, it helps to make those trips count. Is a treat to live the luxurious life on the other side of the globr, even if only for a few weeks a year.
Sorry so for you and your family's loss. It is very hard to lose someone at any time, and there are so many feelings that come along with the joy of a vacation knowing others are struggling at home (I've been in that situation for sure). You are so right that life is short, no matter how many years we are blessed with. Making the most of our time and having few regrets is so important. My father became very sick and disabled in his 30s, and after suffering for many years he died in his 50s, a week after my 30th birthday. He encouraged me to experience life to its fullest and to leave this world with little regret. Although he physically could not do the things he wanted to do, he exemplified this in all other areas of his life. Thanks for the reminder to seize the day while we still have it to seize.
Take care and enjoy your trip. Thanks!
So sad to read this post. I remember you posted how special this trip to Europe is for your mom.
My mom's dream was always to go to Germany….she was re-diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer in Oct. of last year. the week before Christmas, we took my mom to Germany, returned home on Dec. 22nd, she started chemo on the 23rd…..she passed away on 1/4/14. Just shy of two weeks after we had returned from Germany. Life is all to short AND life and turn on a dime. Everything could be going perfect and one tap on your shoulder can change the rest of your life.
Life is short, Travel now AND don't sweat the small stuff. -
This was a beautiful post! My husband and I recently went on our first kid free vacation and did the whole points blow out thing (first and business class and staying in suites the whole way). It was an amazing experience and one that I'm so glad we got to have together.
Just a little under a year ago, my dad passed away. He wasn't much for traveling, especially air travel, but he always wanted to go to Alaska and he and my mom were also in the process of planning a trip to Switzerland, where my dad's dad was born, before his Alzheimer's got really bad. It makes me a little sad to think about how much we could have helped them achieve their travel goals with all the points we have accumulated. I am glad though that we have the ability, in our mid 20s to be able to fly my mom out to see us whenever she wants to come and that we can do the same. It's nice knowing that even though we will soon be on the other side of the country, we are still only a 6 hour flight away from each other.
Have fun MP! I was also supposed to be in Paris right now but had to cancel because of baby sitting issues.
Thanks for your heartfelt post and as well for sharing your life with us. This morning I was able to send off my UCONN junior and and a long time friend to Dallas to the NCAA final in part by saving $2200 on the charter flight by using miles for both of them. Life is about experiences and making memories and thanks to you, I am able to do that for my family. Thanks and I am looking forward to hearing of your adventures in Paris!
Thank you all for sharing your similar stories and experiences. This event has undoubtedly impact the trip for my mom, but perhaps that sadness will be balanced in a way for a renewed appreciation for why taking the trip is important. I know we will still have a very memorable time and can't wait to share it.
Cyberhug for {MP}. Great post. We all need to look at time differently.

ABSTRACT: A retrospective analysis suggested that blood tacrolimus concentrations were consistent among patients with a body mass index (BMI) < 18.5 (lean), normal (≥18.5 and <25) and ≥ 25 (overweight or obese). The average maintenance dose of tacrolimus in patients with BMI ≥ 25 were significantly lower compared with that in patients with a BMI of less than 25. Lean and obese Zucker rats fed a normal diet were given tacrolimus intravenously or orally. The blood concentrations of tacrolimus in obese rats were significantly higher than those in lean rats after administration via both routes. The moment analysis has suggested that CLtot and Vdss of tacrolimus were not significantly different between lean and obese rats. The bioavailability was higher in obese rats, compared with that in lean rats. The protein expression of Cyp3a2 in the liver was significantly decreased in obese rats, compared with lean rats, while P-gp in the small intestine was also significantly decreased in obese rats. These results suggested that the steady-state trough concentration of tacrolimus in obese patients were well maintained by relatively low dose compared with that in normal and lean patients, presumably due to increased bioavailability.Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics 03/2014; · 2.07 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study was designed to clarify the influence of long-term enteral nutrition (EN) on the pharmacokinetics of digoxin. Rats were fed EN diets (semi-digested, digested, and elemental) for 4 weeks, then digoxin (0.05 mg/kg) was administered orally. The AUC(0-∞) and k(a) of digoxin were significantly reduced in the semi-digested diet group versus the control, while the AUC(0-∞) was significantly increased in the digested and elemental diet groups. The mRNA level of Slco1a4 was significantly reduced at the upper small intestine in all EN groups. Further, the expression levels of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) protein and Abcb1a mRNA were increased at the same site in all EN groups, and the increases were significant in the elemental diet group. Cyp3a2 protein and mRNA expressions were significantly reduced in the liver in the digested and elemental diet groups. Abcb1a mRNA was also significantly reduced in the kidney in these groups. These results indicate that the absorption kinetics at the small intestine is influenced by semi-digested diet, and the elimination kinetics in the liver and kidney are influenced by digested and elemental diet. Semi-digested diet also altered digoxin pharmacokinetics in humans. Thus, the effect of long-term EN on digoxin pharmacokinetics depended on the dietary components.Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics 07/2012; · 2.07 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: C-C motif chemokine receptor (CCR)2 and its ligand, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, are pivotal for adipose tissue macrophage (ATM) recruitment and the development of insulin resistance. However, other chemokine systems also may play a role in these processes. In this study, we investigated the role of CCR5 in obesity-induced adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. We analyzed expression levels of CCR5 and its ligands in white adipose tissue (WAT) of genetically (ob/ob) and high-fat (HF) diet-induced obese (DIO) mice. Furthermore, we examined the metabolic phenotype of Ccr5(-/-) mice. CCR5 and its ligands were markedly upregulated in WAT of DIO and ob/ob mice. Fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis also revealed that DIO mice had a robust increase in CCR5(+) cells within ATMs compared with chow-fed mice. Furthermore, Ccr5(-/-) mice were protected from insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, and hepatic steatosis induced by HF feeding. The effects of loss of CCR5 were related to both reduction of total ATM content and an M2-dominant shift in ATM polarization. It is noteworthy that transplantation of Ccr5(-/-) bone marrow was sufficient to protect against impaired glucose tolerance. CCR5 plays a critical role in ATM recruitment and polarization and subsequent development of insulin resistance.Diabetes 04/2012; 61(7):1680-90. · 7.90 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Treatment of cancers in the abdominal cavity, such as peritoneal dissemination, is difficult, but in principle intraperitoneal administration of anticancer drugs is expected to be preferable to systemic administration. Taxane anticancer drugs are used to treat gastric cancer patients with peritoneal dissemination. They are administered as micellar preparations, Taxol and Taxotere, which consist of paclitaxel in Cremophor EL (crEL) and docetaxel in Polysorbate-80 (PS-80), respectively. In this paper we review the disposition kinetics of taxane anticancer drugs after intraperitoneal administration in peritoneal dissemination patients and animal models and also discuss the effect of the surfactant vehicle on the behavior of taxanes.Gastroenterology Research and Practice 01/2012; 2012:963403. · 1.62 Impact Factor

The One Where I Tell You to Buy the New 'Universal Soldier' and Offer Fourteen More Questionable Recommendations
Features By Rob Hunter on January 21, 2013 | Comments (2)Welcome back to This Week In Discs! As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Hard Romanticker The streets of Tokyo are awash in blood and attitude in this tale of warring thugs battling for supremacy and revenge. An old woman is killed during a burglary, and her hoodlum grandson mistakenly believes Gu (Shota Matsuda) was behind the murder. Gu finds himself targeted, but he's far too cool to run and instead finds time to cause some carnage of his own. This is a hard and brutal film that finds both cruelty and black humor in the lives of these punks. No one escapes unscathed, and women fare extremely poorly, but the film makes an effort to take the romance out of these junior yakuza's lifestyles. Artsploitation Films is still a young label, but their third (and best) release continues to get everything right. In addition to the fantastic film they've included a booklet featuring two in depth essays on the film. Also, while this may only matter to nerdy collectors like myself, they're also wisely numbering their releases on the spine a la Criterion and Drafthouse Films. [Extras: Trailer, collector's booklet]
This Week in DVD: November 15th
Features By Rob Hunter on November 16, 2011 | Be the First To CommentEverything old is new again as two of the week's best DVD releases are for films that are decades old including Giorgio Moroder's 1984 redo of Fritz Lang's classic Metropolis with music by Freddy Mercury, Loverboy and other 80s superstars. But don't fret, there are also some solid new films to check out this week including Bellflower, Griff the Invisible, The Warring States and more. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Three Colors: Blue White Red (Criterion) Krzysztof Kieslowski's thematic trilogy looks at France's motto: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Blue stars Juliette Binoche as a woman who suffers a terrible loss and attempts to free herself from life and its responsibilities with a kind of slow-motion suicide, but she instead finds true freedom through healing. Red features Irene Jacob as a young woman whose solitude is slowly shattered by unexpected friendships. And I have no clue what White is about. I haven't even seen Criterion's new set yet, but even a Criterion release of just Blue and Red would warrant an automatic purchase.

Transforming Care: A Christian Vision of Nursing Practice
Product Description
The authors of Transforming Care address the question of how Christian faith molds nursing practice. Suggesting that such faith entails something more essential than evangelism or a certain position on moral dilemmas, they deal with the ordinary, everyday nature of nursing.
The first part of the book articulates the relationship between Christian faith and nursing practice while analyzing the concepts of nursing, person, environment, and health common to nursing literature. The second part describes and evaluates nursing practice in three different health care contexts: acute care settings, mental health facilities, and community care contexts. Sidebars throughout the book offer thought-provoking quotations from well-known authors and nursing experts.

Madrid Holidays
Your Madrid holiday
Madrid's population dates back to prehistoric times, based on artefacts found along the Manzanares River. The city's name Madrid is said to come from the Muslim Matrice, which refers to the water found in the region.
The city's modern history began in the 10th century, when the Moors occupied a fort along the Manzanares River, from where they controlled the area until Alfonso VI conquered and changed the main mosque into the a Catholic church. Madrid's first court was established in 1329, and Madrid was later handed over rule to Enrique of Tastamara.
During the 1500s, King Felipe II moved the imperial court to Madrid, and the population of the city increased dramatically. Much of Madrid's city improvements such as gates, bridges, were built in the 18th century, as well as now-historic buildings like The Royal Palace, the Royal Theatre, the Ministry of Finance, the Natural Science Museum, and the Botanical Gardens.
The 19th century marked the War of Independence commemorating the battles against Emperor Napoleon's rule. The French left the city after five years. Isabel II became the Queen until the revolt that eventually led to the Spanish Civil War.
Madrid maintained sovereignty from the Spanish Republic until Nationalist troops under Franco entered. Madrid became heavily industrialized, and Franco's death resulted in the succession of a constitutional monarchy. Today, Madrid is a leader in culture, education, and industry on the peninsula.
As the autumn slowly approaches, there is no better way to kick back and relax than taking your holiday in Madrid.
A city with boundless energy and spirit, visitors can spend a day watching a live football game of Real Madrid, spend hours inside some of the most beautiful art galleries and museums in the world, and walk all around the city's numerous parks and monuments.
Madrid is also known for its great nightlife of bars, restaurants, and legendary flamenco, so tourists will stay entertained through the wee hours. So what are you waiting for – hop on the next flight to Madrid today!
Best time to take a vacation to Madrid
The most comfortable times to visit Madrid are in the spring and fall, when temperatures average 25°C. Summers can be hot and relentlessly sunny, and many days reach 30°C and higher in June, July and August. If you are looking for pleasant weather without the crowds, visit Madrid during Easter, when many residents head out of the city for holiday. The winter is the low season, when you will find shorter lines at the city's museums. From late November until February, temperatures can drop to 1 degree Celsius and rain is common around Madrid.
Insider tips for Madrid travel

How to move around in Madrid
To and from Madrid
Madrid is located in the central region of Spain and for this reason it can be accessed by various means of transportation. The Renfe train system is good for knowing places outside of Madrid as it is used often as a national form of transport to the south, north, east and west.
Madrid's Barajas Airport is about 15 kilometres from the centre of the city. For this reason there are taxis services, chauffeur specialty vehicles, buses, car hire in Madrid, and metro. A good taxi service is Aerocity, but you may need to reserve in advance. Travellers looking for comfort and reliability can choose Aresmobile. Otherwise there is the 89 bus route that goes to the Plaza Colón, and the Terminal T2 has the Metro which runs every 5 minutes.
Around town
Once in the Madrid metro area there are several ways to get from point A to point B. The most common options are taxis, the underground, and buses.
The EMT bus network operates in the city. They operate within designated bus lanes and run almost 24 hours per day. Beware that it is necessary to flag the bus down. The price is 1 euro per ticket.
A single ticket for travel on the Metro is priced at €2 each. A 10-journey pass provides a discount. Trains arrive about every three minutes, but on weekends wait can be up to ten minutes. The Metro runs from 6 a.m.-2 p.m. and is open year round.
Madrid restaurants
Guests looking to taste the finest Spanish and Portuguese cuisine in the most comfortable environment available should check out the Terraza del Casino (Alcalá, 15). This restaurant features spectacular views of the city. Some of chef Ferran Adrià's top dishes include Galician Hake, Creamed Asturian bean soup, and Cured Ham. Wine connoisseurs will enjoy the long lest of Spanish and French vinos.
Those wanting to taste Spanish and Portuguese flavours without having to spend a fortune should go to Casa Lucio (Calle Cava Baja, 35), a favourite hotspot for major players from Spanish royalty to Latin American film stars. The place has a comfortable vibe with antique accessories and cured hams hanging from the roof. The menu includes shrimp in garlic sauce, Hake with sauce, and roasted lamb.
Txirimiri (Humilladero, 6) is an incredible dining destination for budget travellers. Located in the Salamanca district of the city, this restaurant has great tapas and a generous Basque menu. Txirimiri is famous for its quiet and enjoyable atmosphere, along with its signature Pinchos and other plates such as the Grilled steaks.
For more general Mediterranean cuisine, check out Pan de Lujo (Jorge Juan, 20). The restaurant's design is trendy and contemporary, with a glass wall opening to an illuminated reflecting pool. A great meal might include eggplant, olive oil, and hummus appetizers followed by a fish plate with grilled vegetables.
Health & Safety
There are no necessary vaccinations for a trip to Madrid. Water is potable, however bottled water is recommended for babies.
Madrid's health infrastructure is very good. It is recommended to have a European Health Insurance Card just in case.
In the case of an emergency, visitors should dial 112 for emergency rescue or 085 for the fire department. Some good clinics include the Ramon y Cajal Hospital in Madrid (91) 336 8000, the Princesa Hospital (91) 520 2200, and the Ciudad Sanitaria La Paz (91) 358 0851.
Unfortunately, criminal acts and assaults have increased in recent years around the city. There are certain neighbourhoods that tourists should try to avoid, such as the areas that surround Retiro Park, the Prado Museum, and Colon Square. Do not walk alone at night and do not walk around with flashy jewellery or electronic gadgets like MP3 players that might attract unwanted attention from strangers.
Do not accept any food or drinks from strangers that you meet in bars or restaurants, and do not walk around with too much cash on hand. It is recommended that you make photocopies of original travel documents like passports and credit cards in the case they become lost or are stolen.
Carry a mobile phone with some emergency numbers stored in the contacts in case of an incident. If assaulted, do not panic and do not resist.
The possession and consumption of drugs is illegal in Spain, and alcohol is only permitted for those older than 18. Prostitution is also outlawed.

Good morning KHTS listeners.
Hi, my name is Adrianna Perez and I am a 4th grader in Mrs. Drew and Mrs. Morales' class at Valley View Community Elementary School in the Sulphur Springs School District.
I'll be reviewing Polar Bears Past Bedtime, written and illustrated by Mary Pope Osborne. It was written in 1998 and is 71 pages long.
This book is about a boy named Jack and a girl named Annie who took a big adventure to Antarctica to find a riddle. The riddle is "I cover what's real and hide what's true. But sometimes I bring out the courage in you". What am I?
I like this book because I like to take adventures around my house on my bike just like Jack and Annie do with their tree house. You should read this book if you like adventures and riddles or maybe just like the series "Magic Tree House".

Seefeld, president and one of the organization's co-founders. FACE is committed to restoring fairness to a system which is inherently out-of-balance, a system in which the pendulum, driven by political correctness, has swung too far.

Birthday Boy
The year is 1951, the place is Korea and there is a war going on. The hero of the story is Manuk. We first see him exploring the wreck of a downed plane looking for some 'useful' bits of metal. Manuk wanders around the town on his way home, playing perilously close to the railway – using the trains to flatten bits of metal which he uses to make small toys. There are some funny moments, he throws a stone during a game and it hits a cyclist. There is a poignant moment at the end when a parcel arrives. The audience is led to assume that his father has been killed in action and these are his possessions. Manuk does not realise.

Dear Urgot
DAY 7 I have returned to Noxus. It was the first time in a long while that I have heard the cheers of soldiers welcoming me home, and the cries of those who lost their loved ones. I wrote my report to Swain and submitted it. He came to me later, assigning me to the field with the rest of the Champions. We are planning soon to meet the Demacian Army on the battlefield, along with Piltover and Bandle City, who have sided with Demacia to face us and Zaun. Frelijord is not participating, as far as we are aware. They have their own problems. I met with several other champions today to discuss the war. Apparently I am in a squadron with Sion. He is quite eager to fight once more. As am I. I must go finish my preparations for battle. Tomorrow, we go to battle. -Urgot, the Headsman's Pride
Ask the String
(( *suspenseful music* I do hope you realize any army under the influence of Sona's melodies will nearly always win. Music is powerful stuff man))
((Prepare to play a dirge. XD))
Ask Quinn n Val
((Oh OH OH! am I getting a part, am I am I am I!? ))
DAY 8 (MORNING) We are readied for battle. We see the enemy lines advancing towards our camp. Our squadrons are ready, each consisting of several hundred soldiers and led by a few champions. I see Swain leading a division of his own, Katarina, Sion, and Darius are others I immediately notice. I believe Draven may be a soldier as well...it ill-suits him. I suppose he will find a way. LeBlanc is gathering our intelligence, while I believe Singed and Viktor are at work. They said thay they had something "special" planned. Whatever that meant. We see the enemy. I notice that none of their champions are on the front lines, just frightened young men. Cowards. If you wish to defend your country, put the strength of your most valuable to the test. It should be Jarvan III leading the charge. I digress. We are separating into our ranks. I will write more later, if I should survive. -Urgot, the Headsman's Pride
DAY 8 (AFTER BATTLE) War never changes, I see. As always in the first encounter, both sides suffered heavy casualties. Champions were lost on both sides, as well as many foot soldiers. I saw Sion mutilate Quinn. I think he took the bird back in a rucksack to eat later. Two more dead on the enemy side; Poppy, the Iron Ambassador and Galio, the Sentinel's Sorrow (Whom I killed, myself.) We ourselves lost the Plague Rat, Draven, and, woefully, Katarina. I do not mourn the Rat, and I am not surprised by Draven (great executioner, poor soldier. ) There is one thing I immediately noticed while observing Katarina as she was brought back to our ranks. She was split down the middle. I remember that cut. The cut that ended me. The Might of Demacia has spilled blood today. I will repay. I detect the prescence of scum! -Urgot, the Headsman's Pride
