When looking for the vintage SEIKO 6105-8110 or 6105-8119 automatic diver, an important thing to check is the crown. Some 6105-8110/8119 in the market have fake crowns. The water resistant quality of the fake crowns is unknown. Its internal geometry is also different. Most of the fake SEIKO 6105-8110/8119 crowns requires cutting off the tip of the original crown tube. So if you see a 6105-8110/8119 with fake crown, most probably the crown tube has been cut off or modified and the case becomes worthless piece of junk.
A simple way to spot fake SEIKO 6105-8110/8119 crowns is by counting number of crown "teeth" per section. The original 6105-8110/8119 crown has six groups of teeth. Each group has seven to eight teeth. While the fake one has only five teeth per group. See pictures below to see comparison between genuine and fake SEIKO 6105-8110/8119 crown.
▲ ORIGINAL SEIKO 6105-8110/8119 crown having seven teeth per group.
▲ GENUINE SEIKO 6105-8110/8119 crown having eight teeth per group.
▲ FAKE SEIKO 6105-8110/8119 crown having five teeth per group.
Happy hunting and caveat emptor!
UDPATE 2014-05-04: SEIKO 6105-811x crown with 6 ribs per group
Lately I saw some original 6105-8110 and 6105-8119 crown with 6 teeth per group. Probably this is from early production batches of 6105-811x (1970 to mid 1970s). Below are two pictures submitted by Kevin a member of watchuseek.com forum which I have enlarged and edited for clarity. The watch is a SEIKO 6105-8119 from April 1973. The crown has 6 ribs per group.

▲ KING SEIKO Shield Medallion. This type of gold medallion can only be found in early batches of 44KS, up to year 1966/67. The gold medallion is in nice and clean condition.
▲ 4402A movement is nice and clean. This 44KS movement is the first movement in the world which use a rare adjustment technique by attaching counterweight to the hair spring. AFAIK, there are only two movements that using this technique: SEIKO 44KS and SEIKO 4S79 Chronometer (limited to only 500 pieces). Below is excerpt from interview with Akira Ohira, father of modern mechanical Grand Seiko, nicknamed "God of Adjustment":
"... Like 44KS caliber, I attached a weight on the hair spring to eliminate the position error. It is not a well known method, and those street watchmakers who don't know well tend to think it is "dust" and take it away and ruin everything. I even picked the glue by calling Locktite telling the requirement and they brought a few samples. Even though I assembled and adjusted the watch, I am looking for it in the secondary market but I have never seen it.
Anyway, the idea of weight on the hair spring was on SEIKO's in-house text book - the accumulation of the SEIKO know-how book. It works, but it was actually implemented only on 44KS and 4S79. By the way, GS does not use Breguet spring, but flat spring - this is based on the actual comparison data, believe or not...."Source: Interview with Akira Ohira - Watchmaking "Father" of Modern Mechanical Grand Seiko

3 Stocks in Breakout Territory
DELAFIELD, Wis. ( Stockpickr) -- Professional traders running mutual funds and hedge funds don't just look at a stock's price moves; they also track big changes in volume activity. Often when above-average volume moves into an equity, it precedes a large spike in volatility.
>>3 Big Stocks on Traders' Radars
Major moves in volume can signal unusual activity, such as insider buying or selling -- or buying or selling by "superinvestors."
Unusual volume can also be a major signal that hedge funds and momentum traders are piling into a stock ahead of a catalyst. These types of traders like to get in well before a large spike, so it's always a smart move to monitor unusual volume. That said, remember to combine trend and price action with unusual volume. Put them all together to help you decipher the next big trend for any stock.
>>5 Stocks Poised to Break Out With that in mind, let's take a look at several stocks rising on unusual volume today. Weight Watchers International Weight Watchers International ( WTW) is a provider of weight management services, operating globally through a network of company-owned and franchise operations. This stock closed up 3.9% at $33.38 in Friday's trading session. Friday's Volume: 3.17 millionThree-Month Average Volume: 843,488
Volume % Change: 262% From a technical perspective, WTW spiked higher here with strong upside volume flows. This stock recently gapped down sharply from $40.93 to below $32 with heavy downside volume. Following that move, shares of WTW have started to rebound and move within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit if WTW can manage to take out Friday's high of $33.40 to its gap down day high of $34.69 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in WTW as long as it's trending above $32, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that's near or above 843,488 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then WTW will set up to re-fill some of its previous gap down zone that started at $40.93. Some possible upside targets if WTW gets into that gap with volume are $36 to its 50-day moving average at $37.80.

The idea is to minimize radiant losses from the bulb, which is the expensive part of an indoor garden to operate, and hence to maximize cost efficiency. The design saves on floor space, too.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Will a Canadian be the "Last Comic Standing"?
The odds are good heading into the Aug. 14 season finale with Vancouver native Lachlan Patterson among the final contestants.
Patterson was at the NBC Television Critics Association press tour party last month in Los Angeles along with fellow contestant Rod Man. The two standup comedians talked about the return of NBC's Thursday night comedy franchise, revived this year after being off the air since 2010.
The talent search series, which now boasts Wanda Sykes among the producers, has benefited this season from an all-star lineup of comedy judges: Roseanne Barr, Keenen Ivory Wayans and Brampton, Ont.-born Russell Peters. JB Smoove hosts with Jay Leno, Amy Schumer and Sykes all appearing at various times as mentors. NBC has already ordered a ninth season.
This season started with 100 comedians in the running. Patterson and Rod Man are thrilled they made it this far and prefer being judged by professional peers as opposed to viewers at home. "With an audience it becomes more of a popularity contest," says Patterson. These judges "know comedy," adds Rod Man, "so you're in good hands."
At stake is a $250,000 top prize as well as an NBC comedy development deal.
Canadians have been among the top laugh getters in the past. "Mr. D" star Gerry Dee got a big boost from the series in 2007, finishing third ahead of Schumer, arguably the hottest standup in the business at the moment. Sean Cullen and Debra DiGiovanni have also placed in the top 10.
Rod Man is no stranger to Canadian comedy show audiences. The Georgia-born comedian was a headliner on the 2005 Just For Laughs comedy tour and has played in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and New Brunswick.
"I'm big in Canada!" booms the comedian, who counts Shaun Majumder and Ryan Belleville among his Canadian comedy pals.
Both Rod Man and Patterson are seasoned comedy club veterans. Patterson, who has performed twice at Montreal's Just for Laughs comedy festival, says he knew he was in for a tough challenge as soon as he heard Rod Man was a competitor.
"He's really good," says Patterson, who also had praise for finalists Joe Machi and Rocky Laporte. "Rocky's funny, because he's a 55-year-old man, but he spends more time on his phone than a 17-year-old girl."
The lanky, laid-back comedian got his start in the Vancouver comedy clubs.
"I would say that the pool of comedians in Vancouver is at least as strong as the pool of any other city." Vancouver, however, is such a beautiful city, "the comics usually don't leave," he says. "When times get tough down here and you know there's arguably the most beautiful city in the world to go home to, it's hard."
Patterson moved to Los Angeles in 2007 and has weathered several rounds of pilot auditions, an experience he's not anxious to repeat.
"I feel like if I'd never done any pilot seasons, I would probably be better off than I am now," he says. "If you aren't ready, they just say, 'All right, I don't ever want to see that guy again.'"
"Rejection!" echoes Rod Man.
There's been less rejection lately, with appearances on "Tosh.0," Leno's "Tonight Show" and FX's "Legit."
Patterson says Norm Macdonald has been a big influence and gave the younger comedian a leg up by booking him as an opening act on several occasions. He's also blown away by the support he's received on the show.
"I mean, to hear Russell Peters say he's been watching me — that's pretty good." Praise from Barr and Wayans has also been a boost. "I can tell Keenen is fighting for me," says Patterson.
Wayans, of course, worked with another Canadian — Jim Carrey — on "In Living Color." Patterson has been told he reminds folks of Carrey, which he considers the ultimate compliment. "Who doesn't love Jim Carrey?"
Asked how his life would change if he won "Last Comic Standing," Patterson says, "There'd be a lot of hate." Comedians are supportive of each other — to a point.
"It's a lot of pressure," he says. "A lot of people watching the show will always think someone else should have won."
As a Canadian, he feels he's an underdog. Coming third would not be a disgrace, he says. After all, "that's the Canadian Gold."

When in Japan, see dugongs, eat dugong cookies
Wednesday, October 10, 2012
TOKYO — Americans may seem obsessed with animals, with daycare for dogs and TV therapists for cats, not to mention the hours we spend looking at photos of cute critters on the Internet. But it's generally the conventionally adorable ones that get our attention. On a recent trip to Japan I found ample evidence of our two countries' mutual adoration of pets and pandas. But it was a pleasure to immerse myself in a culture that shares my appreciation for more unusual creatures as well. Here are some highlights. |

National Shortages of Pediatric Subspecialists Impede Children's Access to Care
Access more resources on the survey findings. |
January 13, 2010
Contact: Norida Torriente, 703/797-6059
Gillian Ray, 703/797-6027
(Washington, DC) – Today, the National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI) presents findings of a December 2009 national survey of children's hospitals at a Congressional Children's Health Care Caucus briefing on Capitol Hill. The survey finds significant shortages in a multitude of pediatric subspecialties that pose challenges to children's access to timely care.
"With Congress in the final stage of passing legislation that promises to provide coverage to millions more Americans, we are concerned that coverage is being equated with access to care. In our current health system, children's access to care is impeded by nationwide subspecialist shortages in high-demand specialties," says NACHRI's President and CEO Lawrence McAndrews."The time is now to take action to address children's significant access problem through sensible health reform strategies."
Children's hospital respondents to the survey report the top pediatric subspecialist shortages that most affect their ability to deliver care are:
- pediatric neurologists
- developmental-behavioral pediatricians
- pediatric gastroenterologists
- pediatric general surgeons
- pediatric pulmonologists
"Demand for pediatric subspecialists is simply outstripping supply," says McAndrews. For example, the national physician-to-child population ratio for developmental-behavioral pediatrics is 0.6 per 100,000 children, according to the American Board of Pediatrics. Twenty-seven states are below that ratio. "Especially with the increase in diagnosis of autism-spectrum conditions among children, the ratio of developmental pediatricians to children is alarming," adds McAndrews.
National shortages contribute to vacancies in children's hospitals that commonly last 12 months or longer. The subspecialties with the most frequently reported vacancies (12 months or longer) in children's hospitals are:
- pediatric neurology
- developmental-behavioral pediatrics
- pediatric endocrinology
- pediatric pulmonology
- pediatric gastroenterology
Children's hospitals identify several reasons for the subspecialty vacancies including a national shortage of experienced candidates; shortage of recent graduates; and low Medicaid reimbursement for pediatric subspecialty services. Children's hospitals, on average, devote half their patient care to children reliant on Medicaid yet Medicaid reimburses pediatric subspecialists 20% to 30% below what Medicare reimburses adult subspecialists for similar procedures.
Shortages combined with long-term vacancies result in wait times for scheduling subspecialist appointments that often exceed the prevailing national benchmark to schedule subspecialty appointments. While two weeks is the benchmark, half of children's hospital respondents to the survey report wait times longer than two weeks for the pediatric subspecialties experiencing the most severe shortages of subspecialists.
- 68% of children's hospitals experience difficulty
scheduling endocrinology visits; the average wait time is over 10
- 61% report difficult scheduling neurology visits; the
average wait time is 9 weeks
- 50% report difficulty scheduling developmental pediatrics visits; the average wait time is over 13 weeks – one of the subspecialties with the longest wait times
Not only are families burdened by long wait times, but many also travel significant distances to see a subspecialist. A recent study using data from the American Board of Pediatrics found children travel an average of:
- 73 miles to see a subspecialist in neurodevelopmental
- 60 miles to see a pediatric rheumatologist
- 44 miles to see a developmental pediatrician
"Significant pediatric subspecialty work force shortages began to appear in the late 1990's, as a result of declining interest in subspecialty careers," says James A. Stockman III, MD, president and CEO, American Board of Pediatrics. "Although the pipeline of trainees is increasing in some areas, the net effect is that large gaps still exist with respect to supply and demand in many specialty areas. This situation is likely to continue given the disparities in reimbursement of pediatric providers, the uncertainty of sustained financial support for training programs and the absence of targeted incentives for entering certain specialty fields and practice locales."
About the NACHRI Survey
The NACHRI Pediatric Subspecialty Physician Survey of Children's Hospitals was fielded in December 2009 by NACHRI Child Health Policy Research & Analytics. In total, 44 children's hospitals responded to the survey. Of all freestanding acute care children's hospitals which train the majority of all pediatric subspecialists, 38% participated in the survey.
About NACHRI
Founded in 1968, NACHRI is an association of more than 200 children's hospitals and related institutions devoted to improving the health and well-being of children and families through support of children's hospitals' four-fold mission of clinical care, pediatric training, research and child advocacy. All children need children's hospitals.

Senator Mike Folmer (Republican) and Senator Daylin Leach (Democrat) filed Senate Bill 1182, "Governor Raymond Shafer Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Act" on Tuesday.
"The use of medical cannabis is an alternative option to addictive prescription drugs and a good option that the citizens of Pennsylvania should have," Senator Folmer said in a statement.
The bill has been referred to the Senate Law and Justice Committee, and has been scheduled for a public hearing on Tuesday, January 28, 2014. The committee is co-chaired by one of the new bill's cosponsors, Senator Jim Ferlo (D-Allegheny)
Previous medical marijuana legislation introduced from 2010-2012 by Senator Leach was stalled in the Senate Health Committee and never got a hearing.
Patients, advocates, medical experts and scientists are planning to testify. A rally by supporters is planned to accompany the testimony.
The name of the bill carries over from 2009 legislation originally crafted by Rep. Mark Cohen in the PA House and honors the former two-term Republican Governor who tried to end cannabis prohibition before it started.
Raymond Shafer was appointed by President Nixon in 1970 to oversee the only national commission looking at marijuana use when the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) was created.
The commission's 1972 report "Marihuana: A Signal of Misunderstanding" was prophetic, calling for cannabis to remain outside of the CSA and for possession by adults to be decriminalized. Nixon ignored the recommendations setting the stage for the current conflicts between state and federal laws.
"Senator Folmer and Senator Leach have crafted a bill that will bring relief to tens ofthousands of Pennsylvania residents suffering the most difficult medical conditions," said Chris Goldstein, Co-Chair of Philly NORML. "SB1182 includes PTSD as a qualifying condition and proposes a non-profit distribution system. It's time for Pennsylvania to stop arresting residents who benefit from medical cannabis therapy."

The Thunderbolt 2 spec is not physically different from the original, but utilizes resources better. The original Thunderbolt has 4 channels (2 up and 2 down) that could carry 10 Gbit/s each independently. The new Thunderbolt uses these in pairs for 20 Gbit/s and makes them bi-directional. That gives these ASUS boards the ability to stream 4k resolution content to up to three 4k UHD displays.
This is just the beginning with the ASUS Z87-Deluxe/Quad. Not only does it have two Thunderbolt 2 ports (supports daisy chaining, DisplayPort 1.2), but comes with some great new features including NFC Express, NFC Remote, Wi-Fi GO!, and Dual Intelligent Processors 4 for easy tuning.
There is currently no price listed for the Z87-Deluxe/Quad, but I am sure it will not be two far north of the current Deluxe/Dual at $314.99.

Why Trace Family History? This will be written for the generations to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord. Psalm 102;18 My interest in Family History first began in 1984. My mother being very ill with cancer and not having long to live shared with me a little book, written in 1920 by Winnifred Joy Mannering Bradford to her daughter, Florence. In it she shared her hope that she would love God and live for Him all of her days. This same faith my grandmother shared with me when I was a young child and I am forever grateful to God in His Grace giving me such a Faith in Him , He using the testimony of this Grace through earlier generations to influence the latter generation. It is said that history is "HIS STORY" and so it is. I glory in seeing His Sovereign Hand working its rich Tapestry of Grace through generation after generation. These generations were living souls whom God gave life to ,directed their existance from conception through death lavishing His Grace upon them . It says in John 3:16 that God so loved them that He gave His only begotten Son, and whoseover believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. These people are more than a name , place and date. They had family that they loved, lived life with, prayed , .laughed , cried with and grieved for. They had happiness ,fears, disease , death of their children more than we know, endured wars and uncertainty, moving across country to have the opportunity to live life and enjoy God in freedom, some left parents and siblings across the Atlantic Ocean to have this great opportunity. Many were farmers, some were coal miners, factory workers, shipbuilders, blacksmiths, carpenters, nurses, physicians, lawyers, and preachers. Many were English Protestants, others German and Irish Catholics, They were Baptists, Methodists and Presbyterians. They emigrated from England, Wales, Ireland, Germany, Holland, and France, They lived in New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Illinois. All were decendants of Adam and dead in their sins, some were redeemed souls. Each life affected another's life either by sin or grace. If they knew God's Grace through Jesus Christ and lived for His glory, God's Truth was passed on to the next generation. So each generation affecting the next either for evil or for good.I think this research has deepened my understanding that in a very short time such as 3 or 4 generations, earlier generations are lost to the present ones. We truly are but "dust and our days are like a lengthened shadow , our days are like grass: as a flower of the field , so he flourishes, when the wind has passed over it, it is no more and his place knows him no more. " If believers, the only thing that we leave behind is a legacy of God's faithful work of Grace to our offspring and if doubly blessed to our children's children and to childrens', children's children!"This I say 'O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days, Yet Your years are thoughout all generations, of old you founded the earth,and the heavens are the work of Your hands. All of them will wear out like a garment; Like clothing you will change them and they are changed, but You are the same and your years will not come to an end. The children of your servants will continue, and their decendants will be established before You. To the Praise of the glory of HIS GRACE! Carol |

The book talks about avoiding a segmentation fault by applying a patch. I've now tried installing fileutils with and without the patch but in both scenarios I get a segmentation fault when I do $LFS/static/bin/ls to test for the problem. I've been very careful in follwoing the book exactly. I'm building LFS with RedHat7.3 on an AMD Athlon 1.4GHz with 256Mb of RAM. Can anyone help?

Dr. Richard Tynan
Dr. Richard Tynan is currently a Post Doctoral Research Fellow with CLARITY: The Centre for Sensor Web Technologies. He has authored over 40 peer reviewed publications in various international journals, conferences and workshops. In 2008, he received his Ph. D. from University College Dublin for his thesis titled: Interpolation for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) Redundancy Identification and Sensor Hibernation. In the summers of 2004, 2005 and 2006 he was awarded a research internship at the prestigious IBM T.J. Watson Research Center at Yorktown, New York. Due to his successful undergraduate career, he was awarded a coveted IRCSET scholarship for the duration of his Ph. D. work. While working on his Ph. D., Dr. Tynan developed the first Integrated Development Environment for TinyOS called TinyosIDE, which was downloaded over 5000 times by research groups globally. He has also had two funding proposals accepted by the National Access Programme at the Tyndal Institute. In 2003, he received a B.Sc. (Honors) Degree from University College Dublin. During his undergraduate degree, he received awards for developing best project and being top of his class.
His current work is focussed on intelligent power management for WSNs. He is developing distributed agents that can reason about the energy consumption of a node and adjust it accordingly. Another aspect of his work is the analysis of the inherent Energy-Quality of Service (QoS) trade-offs that exist for most practical WSN deployments. In particular, he examines the effect of distributed agent decision making on the Energy-Density-Latency-Accuracy trade-off space for a WSN. In order to evaluate theories and produce experimental data he works with both real and simulated WSNs. Accurate simulation of Intelligent Sensor Networks is one of biggest challenges in the field of WSNs at present. The issues range from accurate temporal simulation of decision making to energy footprint measurements for the code. Recently, his work is focussing on learning models and parameters for a WSN simulation from a hybrid integration of real and simulated nodes.
He is currently involved in an FP7 proposal with 5 other partners from across Europe to integrate his work on energy consumption with WSN security protocols, to get an accurate picture of their Energy-QoS trade-offs. In addition to his core research, he works on a number of demonstrator projects in which his work is leveraged in real world scenarios. SmartBay is a collaboration between UCD, DCU, IBM and the Marine Institute to measure phosphate levels. TennisSense is a collaboration between UCD, DCU, Tyndall Institute and Tennis Ireland to measure the performance of an athlete while training. In both prohects, Dr. Tynan is working on the intelligent middleware to provide both the dissemination of data and the autonomic control of low level devices.

Dallas, TX (April 18, 2014) — The newly completed Village Park Eco Home will open to the public for tours beginning this weekend, showcasing energy efficient and high-performance products including Milgard windows and patio doors.
The Contemporary Hill Country style residence is a certified Department of Energy Challenge Home, ENERGY STAR home and Green Built Texas Home. During the guided tour, visitors will learn about the vision and building science behind the net zero-energy house.
Thirty-four Tuscany® Series vinyl windows and four Ultra™ Series fiberglass French doors were installed, and reflect Milgard's commitment to energy efficiency as all windows exceed ENERGY STAR Version 3 requirements.
Milgard windows and patio doors were chosen not only because of the superior energy efficiency but also the Full Lifetime Warranty coverage, ensuring the homeowner will have high performance windows for as long as they own the home.
"The first priority was to make the home as energy efficient as possible," said Chris Miles, Eco Home Project Senior Advisor and House Talk Today Radio host. "For windows and patio doors, we chose Milgard vinyl windows. Milgard offered a very "high performance" product that exceeded our expectations especially when it came our third party testing. I have used wood clad, composite, and fiberglass [of other brands], but none compared to the excellence of the Milgard product."
Atkins Design Group created the layout for the 3,752 square foot house. Sustainable and recycled materials were used throughout for minimal environmental impact. Barbara Gilbert Interiors designed the interior spaces, using as many eco-friendly items as possible.
The Village Park Eco Home will feature Open House tours on weekends until May 11th. Visitors will have the opportunity to talk with many of the manufacturers about the products inside the home.
Milgard Certified Dealers will be present at every tour to answer questions about the high performance windows and patio doors as well as the Milgard Full Lifetime Warranty. Event attendees will be eligible for a special promotion.

Rihanna took to Twitter to vent her frustration over Chris and Karrueche hanging out together in Long Beach, CA on Jan. 6! Read on for all the details.
Rihanna may be telling friends that she wasn't worried about Chris Brown hanging out with Karrueche Tran at the Agenda trade show in Long Beach, CA on Jan. 6 while the pop princess was finishing up a vacation in Ireland, but her social media activity seems to say otherwise. A photo shared on Rihanna's Twitter account on Jan. 7 seems directly aimed at Karrueche — and it doesn't seem too forgiving!
On Jan. 7, the "Diamonds" singer, 24, shared a photo of a typed letter with a pretty heavy message. The text read, "There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. Surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living."
It's the caption that Rihanna attached to the photo, however, that seems to be targeted for Karrueche, 24. She writes, "B**ch don't kill my vibe." Could she be warning Karrueche not to mess with her "vibe" or telling her that no amount of time she spends with Chris, 23, can bring Rihanna down?
Rihanna's Trust For Chris Brown
As HollywoodLife.com previously exclusively reported, a source close to Rihanna tells us that she trusts Chris when it comes to his ex-girlfriend. "Things between [Rihanna] and Chris are tight and there's no need for her to be mad or insecure," our source says. "One thing Rihanna has a lot for Chris is trust. They got this. They're on point with their relationship. She knows Chris already told [Karrueche] it's over between them so she's not even tripping."
In fact, communication between the couple couldn't be better, our source says! It turns out that Chris informed Rihanna of his plans with Karrueche ahead of time. "Chris already told Rihanna homegirl was going to be there, and she was cool," says the source, adding, "Ri thinks of it as his charity work."
Do you think Rihanna's tweet was meant for Karrueche, HollywoodLifers?

This all is hilarious. "K" was never Chris' girl. It was/is all FAKE. It is all smoke and mirrors to show that Chris could be serious w/a woman for a few years to prove that he is not a woman beater after he hit Ri. There is no need to hate "K", Ri or Chris. It's all FAKE. Save your energy. One day, we may be told the truth, maybe not. But either way, if anyone WITH ANY TRUE SENSE, takes a trip down memory lane over the past year will see. "K" is not weak nor stupid. She would never allow Chris to do whatever he wanted unless it was discussed in the deal (which I'm sure it was). She and Chris were to "act like they were having a open relationship" while she was the main piece. It still showed the world that he could be in a relationship without being violent against a woman. That's all this is about. Now that it's coming to an end, they and the media are keeping people arguing with each other while Chris and Rihanna are working on getting married (that's my belief). I do STAN for Chrianna BUT I like "K" (why shouldn't I? She has done nothing wrong to me). I refuse to believe that she would allow any man to humiliate her for a full year (non-stop I might add) for a condo, car and $$. I am giving her much more credit than that and you should too. It's a trick people, something big is brewing btw Chris and Rihanna. "K" is there to keep smoke over our eyes. Stop arguing and getting smart with each other and putting the three of them down. IT'S JUST A TRICK…..you will see.

What the hell is a chrianna or chrae you people need a life, what do you know about kae to like her is she an entertainer enlighten me. What has she done in life more than enable Chris with his drug use look at him he looks horrible just like mto said FIRE MARSHALL BOB/BILL from living color eewww lmao
I got to think it was a publicity stunt but I doubt it. I think poor k is desperate. She doesn't know what to do. It is like the publicity stunt of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. The only difference is that they never thought they were going to end up liking each other and getting used to each other. I really don't see Chris being affectionate to KT. Who knows what he is up to.

Hi –
What if Rihanna said this to Chris:
"The capital C in your name is shrinking to a small c. And I'm about to see my way out of this triangle and leave you with a square.
"You need to make a move and quick or else you'll c that I'm gone…on my way to deep calculations…preparing for a real man who truly adds up…"

If Chris decides to be a real man, he'll kill his relationship with Karrueche – all the way!
He can settle the matter once and for all – choose – for real. And show evidence that he has chosen.
Ok, he said he was single but he desires Rihanna, it appears, more than he desires Karrueche.
That evidence is in photos from Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years appearances with Rihanna…
That being the case, even if he is single, if I were Rihanna, I wouldn't tolerate Chris' continued connection with Karrueche – too much baggage.
Here's a good conversation:
Rihanna to Chris: If you're single, I'm single too. I'm going to be about connecting back with my ex.
Chris, with pained expression, to Rihanna – "What?! the f–k?"
Rihanna, calmly taking a drag on a smoke, "You heard me. I'm a diamond, baby, and I'm not about sharing you with counterfeits. If you keep on this shared trip, I need me some company, too. Rihanna picks up her phone to demonstrate that she's got calling her ex on her mind.
Chris, fearful, responds, "You know you're my main…"
Rihanna puts her hand up in the stop motion. "I'm not about the main, C, I'm about the ONLY. What you gonna do? You ain't got much time." She rubs her phone…
Chris frowns and goes into deep thought.
I don't want to lose this diamond, lady Chris thinks, and I'm not about the Rihanna ex deal… Rihanna ain't playing, I can tell, he thinks harder….
To be continued…maybe…

It's all gossip to keep the blogs up and around and to have people make a big fuss out of it. Most of this is just perception and some stories are rearranged.
I thought kae wasn't over it but it seems she doesn't care any more. She knows that CB is done with her and maybe now what she wants is to remain in the media, keep her image on the internet, and keep laughing all the way up to the bank :D Am I wrong? Is all this my bias point of view? Dites-moi qu'est-ce que vous pensez….

Chris is lying to both women. He had Karrueche in his car and took her to a public event where he knew there would be cameras and fans. Then his mentally ill behind thought liking pics of Rihanna on Instagram was gonna fix that. He's in love with both women. IN LOVE. Karrueche lets him get away with more than Rih, but she obviously is capable of putting her foot down and making demands from time to time. Like it or not Rihanna can't have him right now. Karrueche was his girlfriend and Rih couldn't just come in and discard her because Chris doesn't want to discard her. Rih needs to give up and I hope she has this time.

Draya was never his girlfriend. He dated her briefly and was only caught in public with her once. She's a professional jumpoff. Probably never been a girlfriend in her life. It doesn't matter who he loves more. He is seeing both women. Neither one of them is special to him. He wants both and he will have both as long as possible.

As they say "SHOW ME " . I like at least 80 % of the world dont believe anything Chris says. Lets see his actions and then judge what he said and what he means beacuse this man has no morals or principles he will say one thing and do something else.
SHOW US CHRIS BROWN if you mean what you said to Rihanna that you would cut ties with Karrueche and focus on her. I guess you are too scared to show then just go sit somewhere else.
Most men are big talk and no action and Chris is a prime example

Binky. read this comment from another blog.".What I don't understand is the silly females who are like "well Rih got him on the days that mattered – Christmas and New Years!" That is bird mentality. A real woman doesn't share her man, period. When she sees he isn't going to be faithful, she bows out and finds better."….real talk.

I still think Rihanna deserves better than Chris Brown. Exes can never be friends. If I were Rihanna I would tell chris to cut all ties with her, i mean they can be cool no beef but not to the point they go together to his clothing line launch. friends or not, he shouldn't do that. why Rihanna sticks with chris brown I wonder. She's beautiful, she will meet someone who will treat her right and make her happier. not someone who disrespects her publicly like that. I like chris brown, but rihanna just deserves better. he can go ahead and continue dating karrueche, nobody cares.

"Things between [Rihanna] and Chris are tight and there's no need for her to be mad or insecure," our source says. "One thing Rihanna has a lot for Chris is trust. They got this. They're on point with their relationship. She knows Chris already told [Karrueche] it's over between them so she's not even tripping." I HAVE HEARD THIS BEFORE ONLY THE NAMES INVERTED! AHAHAHAHAH

Orlando Magic restricted free-agent guard J.J. Redick is close to signing a three-year offer sheet worth about $19 million with the Chicago Bulls, a league executive told Yahoo! Sports.
Redick could sign the agreement as soon as the weekend.
A source familiar with the offer sheet said a significant portion of the offer is a signing bonus, which makes it more difficult for Orlando to match.
The Bulls signed free-agent guard Kyle Korver to a three-year, $15 million contract on Friday.
Once the sheet is signed, the Magic will have seven days to match and keep Redick.

Prostate cancer is a hormone sensitive tumor in that prostate cancer cells need the hormone testosterone to grow and divide. When testosterone isremoved the majority of cells die. However, a few prostate cancer cells remain and these can grow without the stimulation provided bytestosterone (these are termed hormone insensitive). With time these few cells grow into a large tumor and eventually metastasize (spread to otherplaces in the body) leading to the patients decline.
The testis produces ninety percent of the body's testosterone and the other 10% is secreted by the adrenal glands. Several strategies have beendevised to rid the body of testosterone and therefore slow down the growth of prostate cancer. These include surgical removal of the testes(orchiectomy) and prescribing oral medications called leutenizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists. One potential problem with thesetherapies are that they only effect testosterone made by the testis not the adrenal gland. Another class of medications called anti-androgensfunction to block uptake of testosterone into the cell. The use of LHRH agonists or orchiectomy in combination with an anti-estrogen is calledcombined androgen (androgen is the generic term for testosterone) blockage as both adrenal and testicular testosterone are removed from thecancer cell.
The October 8, 1998 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine reports on a trial examining this issue. 1387 men underwent surgical removalof their testes and were then randomly assigned to either receive a placebo or an anti-androgen (flutamide).
Jul 29, 2010 - Sipuleucel-T -- a therapeutic cancer vaccine -- is associated with prolonged overall survival in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, but without a longer time to disease progression, according to research published in the July 29 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

NUUO recently released this beast of a network video recorder they call NVR Titan. The Titan operates on a Linux platform for added intrusion protection and stability. The NVR Titan supports Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari on both Mac and Windows computers.
The specs on this box look pretty cool. Some of the main features I see are noted above. I am sure that NUUO listened to it's customers complain that although their recorders were built on Linux, viewing could only be done via Windows IE 7. This makes this box more attractive to me.
I discovered some of the main features of the NVR noted below
- Dual Gigabit Ethernet Ports
- Multiple Client OS Platforms
- Panomorph PTZ 360° Panoramic View
- Dual Stream for Managing Bandwidth
- Spot-out for live viewing
- 250Mbps recording throughput around 64ch, 1.3M, H.264, 10fps

- Support 32 brands of IP cameras and more than 870 models
The NVR Titan comes with out without hard drives. The drive configuration is up to 8 drive bays and can be purchased with up to 8 terrabytes of storage. I think the pre-loaded drive bays are only available in the US for now.
Now check out this following Fun Fact :
Live view maximum 256 connections at the same time on the Titan You may find more specs or photos on the NUUO NT-4040 NVR Titan here.

Cherimoyas come from short, shrub-like trees. They have a white flesh, which is extremely soft and sweet. It has almost a custard-like texture, which is why the fruit is also referred to as the custard apple. The flavor or cherimoyas is often compared to sweet fruits like bananas, peaches, and strawberries, but some think they taste like bubblegum!

Abe Sapien: The Devil Does Not Jest
- Posted by Johanna on April 16, 2012 at 3:23 pm
- Category: Graphic Novel Reviews
- CREDITS: stories by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi; art by Patric Reynolds, Peter Snejbjerg, and James Harren
- PUBLISHER: Dark Horse Books; $17.99 US
I've had a soft spot for the title character, a gill-bearing amphibious former human, since hearing him voiced by David Hyde-Pierce in the first Hellboy movie. Doug Jones' movements were as beautiful to watch, too, as the voice was to listen to. However, I've been harsh on the Hellboy franchise lately, since it's now being driven by more continuity than I want. That doesn't make them bad comics — fans of the series who are following it all seem to be enjoying it — just not what I'm looking for.
So it was almost with resignation that I flipped through this newest collection, Abe Sapien: The Devil Does Not Jest. I thought I'd find more of the same and could put the book down quickly. However, I was surprised to find stand-alone horror stories that appealed to me the way the original Hellboy did. They're simple in structure — Abe goes to weird location, monster attacks, order is restored if only temporarily — but that's the appeal of the Hellboy (or any supernatural adventure story) formula.
Three stories in five issues are reprinted here: Abe Sapien: The Haunted Boy, Abe Sapien: The Abyssal Plain #1-2, and Abe Sapien: The Devil Does Not Jest #1-2. All are set in the 80s and feature bodies of water prominently, as suits the character.
The first is particularly powerful, as a grieving mother has to cope with the loss of her ten-year-old son to a frozen lake. The boy's friend survived their ice skating accident, but he hasn't been quite the same since. At first, this seems like a classic ghost story, as manifestations are reported seen at the lake, but since this universe is what it is, the waters are inhabited by something particularly dark, evil, and old. The watery setting also provides some great images of Abe swimming through the murk. Patric Reynolds does a good job capturing the horror contrasted against the domestic home environment the characters inhabit.
His work is scratchier than Peter Snejbjerg's clean line, which tells the next story. I like it, because it gives Abe a sleek look. This tale is about a doomed Russian submarine that was carrying a mystical, healing relic when it sunk in the 1940s. A simple salvage mission gets complicated with a greedy ship captain, the Russian military, and of course, the supernatural. I enjoyed the humor with the skipper, but I found the conclusion a bit unsatisfying. I think it's trying to make a point about the time of its setting that I didn't agree with. The choice didn't seem in keeping with what I think of Abe's personality, either.
The last story sends Abe off with a young man to investigate his long-lost uncle's haunted mansion on a lake in Maine. Since the relative's dad was a demonologist, you know that isn't going to go well. This one's a lot more physical and visceral, with various fight scenes, but it also provides more guest appearances by other BPRD members. It seemed a bit shallow to me compared to the characterization of the first tale, but I'm not into this series for the monsters.
The book also has a sketchbook section with cover and character design drafts and background notes. The publisher has posted a preview and provided a digital review copy.

The NCBS Commission develops the standards and policies related to assessment, curriculum, academic program review, and related areas for Africana Studies departments and programs across the country and abroad. The Commission serves institutions of higher learning and the public by reviewing programs and ensuring quality and rigor in the field of Africana Studies.
Commission members consult with departments on assessment (including the development of assessment plans, learning outcomes, etc.) and program review practices and policies. It also maintains a corps of trained program reviewers who conduct site visits of departments/programs.
The Commission's annual Summer meetings serve as a think tank for the development of curricular ideas, best practices, and policies related to the discipline. Hosted by Chicago State University, the first Summer Commission meeting was held on July 8 and 9, 2004. The second Summer Commission meeting was held on July 8 and 9, 2005, hosted by the Office of the Provost, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Subsequent meetings have been 8, hosted by the African American Studies and Research Program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Department of Black Studies at San Francisco State University.
The Commission also meets during the NCBS Fall Board and Spring Board meetings each year.
The National Council for Black Studies (NCBS) views the episodic program review as essential to maintaining high quality and rigor in Africana Studies departments and academic programs. The professional organization offers a team of experts in the field who provider thorough examination and evaluation of units to assist academic units and departments in their quest for excellence.
Therefore review teams evaluate the entire department, not just the curriculum. In addition to the curriculum, assessment practices, general unit/departmental operations (including financial and human resource management), faculty quality (e.g.: teaching, research and service profiles), student performance and attitudes, as well as the unit's overall contributions to the college and campus are inclusive of the review.
Like many of the accrediting agencies in the country, the NCBS Commission views assessment as student learning outcomes. What do students know? What skills do they possess? Assessment provides essential information about overall program health. Therefore, assessment plans must accompany all program review documentation.

The Apple is always create an iPhone which gives a style symbol to their customers and the same thing the firm is providing you through their upcoming handsets. Now take an iPhone 6 as an example, so we all just expected this handset will land in mobile world with thinner outfits and various innovative specifications that makes this giant too adorable from aspects.
Just similar as the Apple iPhone 5 the forthcoming member of this series will also renders you chance to grab something unique. The Patently Apple explore here the craft will carry highly advance GRIN technology.
Through having it this will gives you new style of camera which is looking great on its slim trim exterior. As we already see various updates that a show the firms is love to create thinner craft in the faces of iPhone 5S, iPad 5 and its Mini edition too.
Always the company is going to do something amazing; surely you all remembered previously reveled report that shows details related to Apple iPhone charger exchange offers that's running in the UK mobile market.
Now if we talk about the latest explore patent image then you able to say the classy organization could be render the highly advance GRIN technology on its next generation craft that named iPhone 6. As well we also hoping the masterpiece are also doing some improvement in its battery life that allows you to spend more time with your giant.

In this article, we identify a cold-sensitive mutant of Xpo1p designated as xop1-2 (but will be referred to from here on as xpo1-ok) that is synthetically lethal with srm1-1, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae RCC1 homolog. xpo1-ok was a novel mutated allele with a single point mutation, T283P. Suppressors of xpo1-ok were isolated, and one of them was found to encode a novel nuclear envelope integral membrane protein designated as Brl1p (Brr6 like protein no. 1). Brl1p is homologous with Brr6p at the C-terminal domain, which is well conserved in the Brr6/Brl1 family. To characterize the function of Brl1p, a series of temperature-sensitive mutants of Brl1p were isolated. All of brl1 mutations were localized to the conserved C-terminal domain that is essential for a function of Brl1p. Some brl1 alleles showed defects in nuclear export of either mRNA or protein, and nuclear pore clustering, similar to brr6-1. The cellular localization of Brl1p is also similar to that of Brr6p. The genetic analysis suggested that Brl1p functionally interacts with Brr6p. An interaction of Brl1p with Brr6p was shown by the two-hybrid method. We hypothesize that Brl1p functions for nuclear export as a complex with Brr6p.
