Alex Beam has a great column in the Globe. Seems as if he has a gay car, etc. according to a recent NY Times article. http://www.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2007/04/18/gay_people_give_me_back_my_stuff/
Apparently I drive a lesbian car -- Subaru Outback Sport. Now, if a couple of them came up and wanted to get naked and busy in the backseat while I watched, I wouldn't mind all that much.
I guess I won't post the science news article about lesbians on the average being substantially overweight compared to hetero females.
We talked about this article in the politics forum... I just don't get why Superman is seen as a gay icon... he is married in the comics and has a kid in the movies... If any superhero is gay, we're talking Batman... he dresses in black leather, took a teen age orphaned boy named Dick to be his special "friend" and they live together with an older English gentleman... no real girlfriend to speak of... Hell, the character Aunt Harriet (most prominently known from that 60's Batman TV show) was invented for the single reason of making Bruce and Dick seem less like homosexuals (that's a true statement). And then about 40 years later those same 2 actors played a gay couple on an episode of Drew Carey...
Ever see that Saturday Night Live skit where two high school age boys were talking about how great it would be to see two lesbians making out so 2 lesbians magically poof into existence but it is not exactly the lipstick lesbians they were hoping for but, rather, lesbians more representative of what they are like in real life..? For some reason, your post reminded me of that....
Yo Quiggs, Speaking of that Forum, is it still a sewer? Is there still a double standard applied to posters depending upon your philosophy?
I think it may be time to remind ourselves that EVERYTHING IS GAY: http://www.lookatentertainment.com/v/v-7.htm
Outback sport is a lesbian car? Huh. I kinda like that car. And I do like wimmen, so... Regards, Chris

This is where you can find out about all the amazing things going on in the Online Community. It's where you'll find news about events and awareness months; ways to get involved with Macmillan and up-to-date campaigning news from Macmillan HQ.
Back in November 2012, Macmillan gave Cancer Voices the opportunity to ask parliamentarians questions about cancer care and services at the House of Lords.
Channel 4's Jon Snow chaired the panel, which featured Baroness Morgan, Verindra Sharma MP, Baroness Jolly and Macmillan's very own Chief Medical Officer, Professor Jane Maher.
>>>Watch Macmillan's Parliamentary question time here>>>
See the panel tackle questions about...
The future of cancer networks
24/7 community nursing

Improving cancer outcomes
Rarer cancers
The role of cancer voices
The next Macmillan Parliamentary Question Time will take place on 11 September 2013. And we'd really like Community members to get involved!
If you're interested in taking part in this year's Question Time, find out more about becoming a Cancer Voice. There are lots of different ways you can get involved, and use your experience to help people affected by cancer.
You can also follow the Macmillan public affairs team on twitter, to keep up to date on how the team is working with parliament and decision makers to improve outcomes for people affected by cancer.
Hi Milo
Thanks very much for your post. I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but I'm truly inspired by how defiant you are.
Macmillan agrees with you that more needs to be done to save the lives of people living with lung cancer. That is why we have campaigned for a number of years for the whole NHS to be measured against how well they do at improving cancer survival rates. The good news is this is now happening.
We also feel passionately that the NHS must provide everyone diagnosed with cancer with the best quality treatment, care and support no matter who they are, where they are from or what cancer they have. So in 2009 and 2010 we lobbied hard for the Government to create the Cancer Drugs Fund. The Fund was set up in England over two years ago and is providing thousands more cancer patients with drug treatments that can help control their condition.
You might want to talk to your oncologist about whether there could be any drugs available through the Fund that could help to treat your cancer. For more information about the Cancer Drugs Fund, you can go here: http://www.macmillan.org.uk/Cancerinformation/Cancertreatment/Gettingtreatment/Accesstotreatment/TheCancerDrugsFund.aspx
Cancer Research UK has a lot of information about research into new treatments for lung cancer. You can find out more by visiting this page on their website: http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/cancer-help/type/lung-cancer/treatment/whats-new-in-lung-cancer-research
If you would like to challenge politicians to do more in the fight against lung cancer please do think about whether you might like to come along to our Parliamentary Question Time in September.
Take care
I am afraid I am a pragmatist when it comes to cancer. My lovely husband was fit, active, healthy eater and a non-smoker. It was he who ensured I got my fruit and veg every day. All veg were steamed and we used very little salt. When he was diagnosed with cancer he was determined to fight it and had such a positive attitude. He had chemo then radiotherapy then more chemo and took it all without complaint. Sadly he still died 18mths after diagnosis.One thing I would say is that GPs need to be more aware. He got quite angry with me when I kept telling him to go to the doctor and NOT to settle for antibiotics of a nice cough bottle. I was worried about his cough and thought either cancer or TB. The outcome may have been different had it been diagnosed in time for surgery to be done.
carolab has summed up my experience too. I kept telling Laing his chest pain wasn't down to the way he leant to one side in his office chair. Little did I know then what it was. Although the doctor sent him to the hospital I don't know if (s)he knew he might have had cancer of the lung. Our problem is that the word cancer still has the power to paralyse us into inaction, whereas it should be the spur to action.
Things aren't helped when a certain tabloid newspaper prints stories one day that eating chocolate will give you cancer and then the next saying if you eat 50 g a day it is good for you. We need serious journalism to back up serious political decisions which don't look at the cost of treatment, but the off ledger costs, some of which are not easy to quantify in financial terms. When governments penny pinch (and I don't just mean this one, I've seen enough in my time) they go for the easy option, and those with terminal illnesses are the least likely to cause trouble, in the short and longer term. Cynical, I know, but I never trust the decisions made.
I listened to the discussion about Rarer Cancers.
The gateway for care is the GP. There are good GPs and there are not so good. GPs need to have better training, awareness and a willingness to keep up to date. You can commission all the research you like, but in an overstretched poorly performing NHS, I wonder what difference it will make. I happen to live in a supposedly well serviced area with hospitals with supposedly good reputations. The staff are still working at full stretch and thus unable to devote the time needed to terminal patients.
And remember, men and women treat disease differently. Women tend to look after themselves, undergo regular health checks, attend regular screening etc etc Men's cancers are not as 'sexy,' don't get as much money chucked at them. Ok - so finally something is being done about Prostate Cancer. But men don't generally talk about their pain, their worries about their health etc And I was married to a South Island Kiwi - they're the worst. When my husband said he was in pain, boy, his pain was off any normal scale of measurement. No wimpy Pom was he. So in that sense, men can be 'their own worst enemy' where cancer diagnosis is concerned. Yet....... yet still, the GP has the duty to take seriously worrying symptoms, to question what is going on, should we maybe have a scan here?
I truly wonder what changes you expect in a Health System which is struggling to work on a day to day basis. There simply isn't the money, nor the staff to produce the kind of change we need. My late husband was fortunate in having good care in our local hospice for the last 3 weeks of his life. That hospice is funded by a lot of charitable donations. It couldn't keep going otherwise. So please tell me how you think all these well meaning bits of research will effect the very necessary changes needed to improve the lot of rarer cancer sufferers.
And please tell me how the ordinary 'Man in the Street' and his family cope when faced with a diagnosis of rarer cancer. Forgive my cynicism. I am a realist.

Borchert Field was a baseball park in the United States in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was the home field for several professional baseball clubs for most of the years from 1888 through 1952. It was made obsolete by the new County Stadium in 1953 and was demolished later that year. The site is now covered by Interstate 43.
The park was built on a rectangular block bounded by North 7th, 8th, Chambers, and Burleigh Streets. Home plate was positioned at the south end (Chambers) with the outfield bounded by the outer fence, making fair territory itself home-plate shaped, with short fields in left and right and very deep power alleys. This was a design used by a number of ballparks in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when they were confined to a block that was too narrow to allow the foul lines to parallel the streets. The best-known example of this "bathtub" design is likely the Polo Grounds in New York City, home of the New York Giants through 1957.
Originally known as Athletic Park, the park opened for baseball 126 years ago in May 1888.[1] During winter it was flooded and served as an ice hockey rink. The ballfield replaced the Wright Street Grounds. (Podoll, p. 46)
The ballpark operated as the home of the Milwaukee Creams of the Western League, later renamed the Brewers. The Creams/Brewers played there through the 1894 season.
The ballfield was also sublet to the Milwaukee Brewers club of the major league American Association for the last part of the 1891 season, replacing the disbanded Cincinnati Kelly's Killers. 1891 was the last year of the AA as a major. The AA merged into the National League for 1892, and the Milwaukee franchise was dropped.
The Western League version of the Brewers left Athletic Park and opened the Lloyd Street Grounds in 1895, continuing to play there until they became a major league club in 1901 as part of the American League, and then transferred to St. Louis Browns in 1902. (That team is currently the Baltimore Orioles.)
A new minor league version of the American Association formed in 1902, including a new Milwaukee Brewers club.[2] Meanwhile, another new minor league club, the Creams, began play in a new version of the Western League. The Creams retained the lease on the Lloyd Street property, so the Brewers re-opened their 1887-1894 ballpark, initially calling it Brewer Field, although the name Athletic Park would endure until 1928.
Milwaukee was too small to support two ballclubs, and the Western League entry folded after 1903. The Western League and the AA formed a healthy rivalry, and would maintain business relations through the years, until the Western circuit folded after the 1937 season. The AA Brewers would play for 51 seasons before displaced by the Milwaukee Braves.
Athletic Park / Brewer Field was renamed Borchert Field at the start of the 1928 season in honor of previous owner Otto Borchert,[3] who had died the previous year, on April 27, 1927, at a baseball dinner that was being broadcast live on the radio at the time (Podoll, p. 218). During the 1920s, the ballpark had been unofficially dubbed "Borchert's Orchard" by the media (Podoll, p. 189).
Borchert Field was also home to Milwaukee's short-lived entries in the Negro Leagues and the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, the Milwaukee Bears and Milwaukee Chicks. The Chicks won a pennant in their only year of operation.
Bill Veeck[edit]
One of the more colorful times for the stadium occurred during the early 1940s when Bill Veeck owned the team. The "PT Barnum of Baseball" brought an element of whimsy and marketing to the park, including fan giveaways of livestock, butter and vegetables, and staging morning games for third-shift wartime workers. According to his own autobiography, Veeck - As in Wreck, he claimed to have installed a screen to make the right field target a little more difficult for left-handed pull hitters of the opposing team. The screen was on wheels, so any given day it might be in place or not, depending on the batting strength of the opposing team.
There was no rule against that activity as such, so he got away with it... until one day when he took it to an extreme, rolling it out when the opponents batted, and reeling it back when the Brewers batted. Veeck reported that the league passed a rule against it the very next day. It has been speculated that the story was made up by Veeck; research by two members of the Society for American Baseball Research revealed no evidence of either a movable fence or any gear (pulleys, etc.) required for it to work.[4] Veeck would later employ these fence-moving shenanigans at Cleveland Stadium when he owned the Cleveland Indians in the late 1940s.
In that same book Veeck wrote: "Borchert Field, an architectural monstrosity, was so constructed that the fans on the first-base side of the grandstand couldn't see the right fielder, which seemed perfectly fair in that the fans on the third-base side couldn't see the left fielder. 'Listen,' I told them. 'This way you'll have to come back twice to see the whole team.'" Veeck's comments referred to the exceptionally high corners, which could theoretically hide the closest outfielder from a given spectator's view at times.
The Milwaukee Badgers, which played in the National Football League from 1922 to 1926, staged its home games at Borchert Field.
Borchert Field was also the host to the first Green Bay Packers game held in Milwaukee – a 10–7 loss to the New York Giants on October 1, 1933. The Packers played games in Milwaukee for 62 seasons, from 1933 through 1994, with the games at County Stadium starting in 1953. The team played at State Fair Park in West Allis from 1934 through 1951, with one year at Marquette Stadium in 1952.
Later years[edit]
Borchert Field was too small to accommodate Major League Baseball. Milwaukee's city fathers, looking to attract a major league franchise (the majors had flirted with a return to Milwaukee since Veeck had attempted to move the St. Louis Browns back to Milwaukee), built County Stadium to replace Borchert Field. It was intended that the Brewers would play in County Stadium in the 1953 season, but early that year their parent club, the Boston Braves, relocated to Milwaukee, so the final season of baseball at Borchert Field also turned out to be the last season of Brewers minor league baseball. The minor league franchise remained the Braves' top affiliate and moved to Toledo where it was the next incarnation of the Mud Hens for three seasons, through 1955.
The former site of the stadium (and the entire block) is now fully occupied by Interstate 43, Milwaukee's major north-south arterial.

Vultures pick at cars in Everglades
HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Visitors to parts of Everglades National Park are getting tarps and bungee cords to make their vehicles less delectable to vultures.
Migrating vultures have developed a habit of ripping off windshield wipers, sunroof seals, and other rubber and vinyl vehicle parts.
Visitors to the park's Homestead and Flamingo entrances are loaned "anti-vulture kits" to protect their vehicles.
Park wildlife biologist Skip Snow tells The Miami Herald that the vultures are migrating as normal.
It's just not clear why the birds are picking at parked cars and trucks. Park employees have tried to scare away the vultures, but nothing has worked.
Park Superintendent Dan Kimball says complaints about the vultures have declined since employees began distributing the tarps and bungee cords last year.
Katt Williams out on bail after arrest
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Katt Williams, the comedian who has repeatedly found himself on the wrong side of the law, is out on bail after being arrested in Los Angeles on suspicion of child endangerment and possession of a stolen gun.
Police Officer Norma Eisenman says Williams was taken into custody Friday after the LA County Department of Children and Family Services did a welfare check at his home.
Authorities found more than one firearm, one of which had been reported stolen.
Eisenman says the DCFS did not specify how many children lived at the home or whether they were removed.
The 41-year-old was arrested this month on a felony warrant related to a police chase.
In November, he was accused of hitting a man on the head with a bottle during a fight.

We've gotten into the fantastic habit of making green smoothies in the morning. They're a really fantastic way to get lots of nutrients in one delicious cup. Unlike juices, smoothies are whole foods that are blended smooth so you still get all the complete nutrients that are often lost when you juice things. Juicing, as you might imagine, really retains only the juice and all the sugar minus the fiber.
We basically use whatever is available when we make these smoothies. For this particular one, I threw in two bunches of lettuce, one avocado, two large leaves of basil, two cups of raw kale, a cup and a half of frozen blueberries, a cup of strawberries, half a frozen banana, two table spoons of superfood blend, and for the liquid, I used unsweetened cranberry juice.
In making smoothies, we always incorporate these basic elements:
Fat. The good kind. This might be coconut meat (get a whole coconut and use the coconut water as your liquid), generous heaps of almond butter, or avocado (my favorite additive as it adds a lot to the texture).
Greens. This is typically kale, but sometimes its lettuce, spinach or if you're hardcore, I've also had a lambs quarter smoothie which was umm, not as yummy.
Fruit. This is typically to make it sweeter and more palatable, so we use frozen berries as they are low in sugar, full of flavor and antioxidant rich. Frozen (as opposed to fresh) berries are also much cheaper to buy organic, and as texture doesn't matter much for this, frozen is perfect. Bananas are very high in sugar, but they will add to the texture and add a lot of sweetness with very little banana. When our bananas are overripe, I peel them and stick them in a freezer safe container and save them for smoothies!
Liquid. You need something to help your blender mix it all up. You can use water, almond milk, rice milk, coconut water, aloe juice or like in this one, unsweetened cranberry juice–good for your bladder and adds a yummy tang!
Supplements. If you want it to be over the top in nutrition. We use superfood blend or spirulina. But there are other great ones to add too, like flax! It's really up to you!
Blend it all up and watch your whole family get into it. I guess our smoothies aren't green as much as they are brown from the dark antioxidant rich ingredients and powders!
He loves it. Also, please don't call child services on us for that crazy purple bruise on his forehead; learning to walk is dangerous business.

Would you ever let your 4 month old baby get his face licked by a wolf? I did. I totally did. I gave my baby to the wolves. Aidan's brother Palo is involved in an organization called Wolf Connection, which, in a nutshell, seeks to rescue wolves or partial wolves that were domesticated and later abandoned for various reasons and also educate young people about these creatures.
Aidan and I went on a hike with them years ago, but I wanted to take Gabriel to meet them too. They're such beautiful creatures, majestic, incredibly intelligent and sensitive. They're unlike regular dogs. They move differently and have different social cues amongst themselves.
The organization, located just outside of Los Angeles, goes on monthly hikes with the wolves. When we went years ago, we got to take the wolves on leashes and hike with them, but today they have handlers who take the leashes, and you just walk alongside them.
I highly encourage you to go and take your little ones with you. It might seem scary, but it is life altering. After you hike with them (it's an easy hike) they retreat back to their dens and the MOST special thing happens… if you're lucky… they howl. They all howl together and sing harmoniously.
I'd like to go on the hike in May, so that it won't be too hot! If you'd like more information about Wolf Connection, or if you'd like to join them on the hike, check them out here.

This week's Tuesday Etsy Spotlight is Vitrified Studio. I have to admit, I was just browsing through etsy when I noticed that the etsy featured seller had these beautiful ceramics. I love ceramics, and lately I have really been loving all white rooms and accessories. The starkness is so simple and clean. Shelley, the artist behind these works, lives in Portland, OR and usually does custom orders for her ceramics. You can send her a message and talk to her about your vision and she'll talk to you about what she can do for it! She has some works that she keeps ready for purchase which are marked "ready made." I find her work stunning.
She has some other pottery that are glazed with colors, but for this post, I really wanted to highlight the uncolored ceramics. I hope you check her work out!
Happy Tuesday everyone!

I'm not sure if you gathered this, but Aidan's family are foodies. The real deal. They're amazing.. I love them and enjoy eating their meals SO much. They are incredibly intelligent especially when it comes to health and food. Each and every one of them is talented in the kitchen (and in other places too).
His mom's homecooked meals REALLY, TRULY deserve the statement of "my mom's ______ is the best in the world." His dad's unending knowledge of health in relation to food will astound you. Under his guidance, I was on a strict diet during Gabriel's first 3 months of life and my little boy's gassy stomach was never a problem. His eldest brother, Palo, started a beverage company and also created last year's number one beverage of the year, Zico's Chocolate Coconut Water. His sister Iona creates the most amazing grain-free, sugar free cakes which will make your mouth water. That really undersells her abilities in the kitchen, because she can whip up the most delicious meals and make it look so simple. Anastasia, another sister, has two young kids for whom she cooks almost every meal for and they just lap it up. I don't know Tansy that well (she lives far away), but I hear is not unlike her siblings in her abilities in a kitchen. Additionally, Tansy's and Scott's (her husband) little girl Stella has some strict dietary needs and their entire family has risen to the occasion and her condition has vastly improved! Aidan, who cooks most of our meals, puts so much mouthwatering love into his dishes and is just so generally talented at cooking (and eating), that he has singlehandedly managed to make me like love foods that I have convinced myself ALL MY LIFE that I detested. And then there's Jonathan. Jonathan, who I have always had a sweet spot for, is Aidan's younger brother, and he is a very talented chef, a real chef, not just someone that you call a chef, but is really a cook. Jonathan's meals are full of meticulous detail, bursting with flavor and are works of art, to boot.
I'm plugging Jonathan in this post specifically because he has started a business, I believe in him and his talents and I think you will too! Check out his website, Jonny Cooks. He caters (in the bay area), but if you don't live there, there is good news for you still. He has just begun a weekly subscription of foods that he prepares at home and will ship out to you wherever you live (in the United States, of course). We just recently ordered maple bacon, vanilla extract (so excited to use these two ingredients in baking), and homemade sausages! His prices are very reasonable and he uses the best available ingredients. If you want to join his mailing list (and I urge you to), you can do so here. Every week features a new list of available foods, and sometimes tips and tricks about how to use them!

I don't think it is a mystery to anyone who has followed this blog that I don't like to make a special meal for Gabriel. I'm not always successful, but we always try to have him eat whatever we eat. Michelle will be able to tell you more, but in light of Lucas's diabetes he has to now eat a special diet. When someone in your family has a special diet, more often than not, the entire family falls into the same or a similar diet.
I think that having everyone on the same diet is really beneficial, for numerous reasons: you don't have to make a special meal for them; nobody feels left out of something "yummier;" you're all in it together; and typically, everyone gets healthier meals! It's win-win! I was talking to my friend about this and she told me about this website, One Family One Meal. It is a fantastic website chock full of yummy recipes that the entire family can eat together! It has weekly recipes, provides you with shopping lists, and best of all, you can specify all your dietary needs in the All Recipes tab!
I'm not a huge fan of substitutions, like gluten free bread or faux vegetarian patties. For the most part, I don't think they're as yummy as the real deal, but also more importantly, they're often filled with excessive ingredients (salt especially) that seek to imitate a flavor or a texture that isn't naturally found in that food group. I was looking through the recipes and a lot of them are pretty easy and full of ingredients that you can find in a regular grocery store (no obscure ingredients from secret health food stores needed!).

Does that even need any introduction?
Yesterday was the most difficult day I've had in a REALLY long time. Aidan and I have been trading off mornings with Gabriel and yesterday was my morning. Lucky me, he woke up at 5:30am, two hours earlier than his usual time, lovely. My efforts to convince him to go back to sleep were futile and he and I both ended up frustrated. He was screaming at a frequency JUST below the one only dogs can hear. I may have put my hand over his mouth and told him to shut up and I may have hidden under the sheets and kicked my legs up and down while I screamed…that's the rumor at least.
I gave him an entire banana–a rare event–just to keep him quiet. It worked for 3 minutes. Then it went on…. Until nap time, I got two hours of solid crochet time. I felt recharged. So we headed to Trader Joes.
Gabriel is usually quite the charmer at the grocery store, and I've seen him command the attention of 5 ladies at a time while I'm picking out produce, but NOT yesterday. Yesterday, not a single lady told me he was adorable because he was a screaming pill. Despite this, I decide I'm brave and head to Whole Foods too (we usually do both groceries, sometimes three and on the most ambitious days). So we got to Whole Foods and I can barely think, much less read my shopping list because he is so cranky and just won't stop screaming. I give him an apple, he takes two bites and throws it on the ground. Everything is a reason to let out a wail. At this point, I was losing my mind. I also begin to get all the symptoms that happen to me right before I faint, the ringing ears, the cold sweat, and the panic.
Here's where I must digress. When we got to Whole Foods, this fancy schmancy Lamborghini rumbled through the parking lot, set off car alarms and made a little girl cry (Gabriel luckily didn't even notice since his wails were much louder than any man-made machine). I rolled my eyes and just continued on getting a shopping cart and plopping Gabriel in it. The guy parked in an illegal spot and ran into Whole Foods, cutting me off in the process. Whatever. He was in a rush, I'm sure. Throughout my shopping experience, he was a few steps ahead of me and he was nagging every employee at Whole Foods. He told them that certain products were not where they were last week, he was annoyed at them for not stocking some brand of pickles, etc. But I was too preoccupied with Gabriel to really care, and it was obvious to everyone around that this guy was less than pleasant.
Back to my almost fainting spell. I was just finishing up at the deli, asking for some turkey, and Gabriel was still at it. He was screaming his head off. I had my face in my hands and I was obviously distressed. That's when Lamborghini guy decided he should give me some advice. "WOW! You really need to get ahold of your son" he said. I, despite my rage at his comment, said, "thanks guy." At this point, I was beyond done. I made a bee-line to the checkout, when I realized that I had one more thing to grab, some bread. Gabriel was also beyond done. I crouched down to pick out a good loaf, and I finally found one. YAY! I began to back up….directly into a display of meticulously stacked coffee cans. A TRILLION cans came crashing down all over the floor, rolling all over the store, and I'm on my ass and my toddler was way past meltdown stage. I got up, looked up and saw what felt like a MILLION faces staring at me, and I just sobbed.
This is when the story gets to be sweet. THREE employees at Whole Foods came to my rescue. They quickly picked up all the cans of coffee and one woman even said, "hey, don't worry, it's ok, you're totally good." I was far from good, but it was super sweet. I walked to the check out line with my head down, trying not to make eye contact, but I was still crying and so is Gabriel. Another THREE employees offer several times to help me to my car and one woman even asked if she can get me some water. I kissed Gabriel repeatedly because it's all I can do (although what I really wanted to do was glue his mouth shut, but I feared child protective services). At the end of the fiasco, this same woman who asked me if I needed water asked me to wait so she can get Gabriel some organic lollipops, she told me that she hopes I have a better day and she gave me a little rub on the back and told me to hang in there. I got in the car and just CRIED. IT. OUT. I told some friends who all responded with helpful words of encouragement and offered to help.
And so, how amazing are these people (with the exception of Lamborghini guy)? I especially feel a special sweet spot for the employees at Whole Foods. I wouldn't have blamed them if they were all jaded from having to deal with characters like Lamborghini guy constantly, but they came to my rescue.
As for my little monster, I gave him some camilia and it seemed to have helped some. That was only my first line of defense, the second would have been tylenol and the third would have been duct tape.
As a result of a really tough day, this is what I had for dinner… and I don't care who judges me…that means you Lamborghini guy.

A quick introduction for people who arrived here directly: Premake is a build configuration tool. It reads a description of a software project and generates the files for one of several different toolsets. By using Premake, software developers can save time and support more tools and users. Learn More.
Getting Premake
If you don't have Premake already, you can download it now.
Premake is a small (around 200K) command line executable, delivered as a single file. Just unpack the download and place the executable on your system search path or anywhere else convenient.
Using Premake
The simplest Premake command is:
premake4 action
Usually you would like Premake to generate project files for a particular toolset, in which case action is one of these toolset identifiers:
vs2010 | Visual Studio 2010 (or Express) |
vs2008 | Visual Studio 2008 (or Express) |
vs2005 | Visual Studio 2005 (or Express), SharpDevelop, or MonoDevelop |
vs2003 | Visual Studio 2003 |
vs2002 | Visual Studio 2002 |
gmake | GNU Make (including Cygwin and MinGW) |
xcode3 | Apple Xcode 3 |
codeblocks | Code::Blocks |
codelite | CodeLite |
You can see a complete list of actions and other options by typing:
premake4 --help
Once the files have been generated you can load the solution or workspace into your IDE and build as you normally would.
Using the Generated Makefiles
Running make with no options will build all targets using the default configuration. To build a different configuration supply the config argument:
make config=release
Most projects provide debug and release configurations; to see the available targets and configurations, type:
make help
Remove all generated binaries and intermediate files with:
make clean
Premake generated makefiles do not support a make install step. Instead, project owners are encouraged to add an install action to their Premake scripts, which has the advantage of working with any toolset on any platform. You can check for the existence of an install action by viewing the help (run premake4 --help in the project directory).
Next Steps
If you are having trouble building your project, start by contacting the project manager. If you are having trouble building or using Premake, visit our Support page and I'll try to help you out.
To learn how to use Premake for your own software projects see Scripting With Premake.

Date Posted:05/25/2007, 1:30PM
BRUNSWICK, Maine - Nathan Alsobrook, a 1997 graduate of Bowdoin College, has been named the new head coach of the Nordic Skiing program at his alma mater. Formerly the head coach of the Whitman (Wash.) College nordic ski program, Alsobrook began his collegiate coaching career as an assistant under Marty Hall at Bowdoin in 1999.
"As a former Division III athlete, Nathan is able to relate to the demands of being a student-athlete at a place such as Bowdoin," according to Athletic Director Jeff Ward. "Our nordic skiing program took great strides under the leadership of Marty Hall, and we look forward to seeing Nathan continue that trend."
An English major who graduated magna cum laude, Alsobrook was a four-year competitor on the nordic ski team as well as a cross-country and track team member. After serving as an instructor at Sunday River for two years following graduation, he joined the staff at Bowdoin as an assistant to Marty Hall for the 1999-2000 academic year.
Following a season as an assistant at Colby, Alsobrook moved west where he earned his first full-time head coaching job at the Pocatello (Idaho) Cross-Country Ski Foundation, promoting cross-country skiing through coaching and training sessions. He returned to the collegiate ranks in 2003 as the assistant coach at Montana State University and then earned his first collegiate head job at Whitman in 2005.
At Whitman, he supervised the Division I nordic ski program and was also a member of the faculty as a Lecturer of Sport Science. Alsobrook has a wealth of academic experience and holds a Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology from Montana State. His thesis work for the degree was specific to his sport, entitled "The Role of Upper Body Power in Classical Cross-Country Ski Performance."
Alsobrook takes the reins of a program that has improved in depth and performance over the past few seasons. In 2007, Bowdoin nordic skiing saw several best-ever performances by individuals during the EISA season and finished ninth at the Eastern Championships this past winter.

Did you know that the Marina Bay Street Circuit covers an area of 799,000 square metres, the equivalent of 112 full-size football pitches? Ahead of the 2013 Formula 1 Singtel Singapore Grand Prix, we present a plethora of fascinating facts and figures about the race
The Singapore Grand Prix has been run five times previously, all at the Marina Bay Street Circuit. The inaugural event in 2008 was the first F1 race to be run at night under floodlights and was won, somewhat controversially, by Renaults Fernando Alonso.
The infrastructure required to hold a race on Singapores streets is considerable: over 10 kilometres of debris fencing is used, as well as around 2,600 concrete barriers, over 1,600 TecPro barriers and around 1,500 lights to illuminate the circuit.
The Marina Bay Street Circuit has 23 corners - the most of any circuit on the calendar.
The safety car has been deployed at least once in every Singapore Grand Prix to date. There have been eight deployments in total over the five previous Marina Bay races.
The pit lane delta time in Singapore (the time it takes a driver to enter the pits, make a stop and return to the track) is the highest of the season.
The two leading contenders in this years world championship - Ferraris Fernando Alonso and Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel - have each won the Singapore Grand Prix twice. Lewis Hamilton is the only other driver have won the race and you can read how he did it here.
In fact, Alonso has only failed to reach the podium once in five appearances in Singapore - that was in 2011 when he finished fourth.
Red Bull are the only team to have won the Singapore Grand Prix more than once. Renault, McLaren and Ferrari all have one win.
Mercedes have yet to make the podium after their three previous races at the circuit.
Nearly two-thirds of the 303 laps that have taken place in Singapore Grand Prix history have been led by either Vettel (98 laps) or Alonso (93 laps).
The lap record in Singapore was set by Kimi Raikkonen in a Ferrari in 2008 and stands at 1m 45.599s. Turn 10 has been modified from a chicane to a single corner ahead of this years race so well see a new lap record.
In terms of average lap time, only Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium takes longer for an F1 car to lap than Marina Bay.
No Singapore national has ever started a world championship Grand Prix.
The furthest back on the grid any Singapore Grand Prix winner has started is 15th. That was Renaults Fernando Alonso at the inaugural event in 2008, although his achievement was subsequently overshadowed when it was discovered that team bosses had asked Alonsos team mate Nelson Piquet Jr to deliberately crash to bring out the safety car at a convenient moment. Still, only seven drivers have won a Grand Prix from further back on the grid
Alonso is the only driver to have scored a grand chelem (pole, win, fastest lap, led every lap) in a race at Marina Bay. He did it in 2010 in a Ferrari. It remains the only time in his F1 career that the Spaniard has achieved the feat.
In the five races at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, the polesitter has been victorious three times (2009, 2010, 2011).
According to Mercedes, the drivers are on full throttle for 48 percent of the lap distance. The longest time at full throttle is nine seconds. Drivers make an average of 80 gear changes per lap, which equates to 4,880 gear changes over the 61-lap race.
Each cars starting fuel load in Singapore is generally higher than at any other Grand Prix because of the nature of the circuit and duration of the race.
The heat and humidity in Singapore is so high that drivers can lose up to 3kg of fluid during the race. That, combined with the circuits bumpy surface and multiple turns, makes the race one of the most physically demanding of the year for the drivers.
A small number of milestones have been recorded at the Singapore Grand Prix:
- Two drivers have recorded significant race-start milestones in Singapore: Jenson Button celebrated his 150th race start at the night race in 2008, whilst Michael Schumacher recorded his 300th race start there in 2012.
And finally, Ferrari edged ever closer to McLarens 64-race point-scoring record at Monza by recording their 60th consecutive race with at least one car in the top ten. Will they get closer again in Singapore?

Coming Wednesday: Bonita-Arcadia, Santa Fe-Muir.
Monthly Archives: November 2011
Football: Muir's Ken Howard hasn't been forgotten.
After ringing the Victory Bell to celebrate Muir's win over Pasadena in the Turkey Tussle, the second thing Muir WR Kevon Seymour did after the game ended was break out the pretty cool t-shirt (above) specially made in support for Ken Howard, the longtime football coach who was placed on administrative leave four weeks into the football season for an alleged altercation with a student.
This season the Mustangs have dedicated their season to fallen teammate Brandon Jackson, but it's also safe to say that every win can't be fully celebrated without thinking about Howard, a man who has spent the better part of a decade at Muir High giving back in more ways one can count.
He's more than just a football coach, and he's meant as much even to those who are not athletes. He's the man hustling in the background getting his players recognized on this blog and in the pages of the Star-News. He was a constant presence at home basketball games making sure the event ran as smoothly as possible. I know he made my life a hell of a lot easier when I needed help accessing football players for interviews, photos, and even helping arrange for parking and a comfortable seat, table and outlet for my laptop whenever I covered at Muir home basketball game against Pasadena.
When plans were in the works for our first Turkey Tussle magazine last year, the first person I phoned to deliver the news was Howard, who undoubtedly was excited about helping promote not just his players, but also Pasadena and the rivalry itself that captivates an entire city come November. When working on the magazine, Howard helped arrange for every Muir projected starter to be on campus and ready to have their photos taken. The entire process lasted all but 30 minutes. The process was so efficient that we simultaniously held a photo shoot of QB Jeffrey Davis for a special feature/story in the magazine. Howard's absence during this year's work on the Tussle was noticably absent, to say the least. When we began working on the Tussle magazine we had hoped for the same efficiency we had last year, but to no avail. Ken Howard was not there to help make this an easy move, and that's no coincidence. What lasted a mere 30 minutes last year lasted just under three hours this season. Howard would have never allowed that. It was his relentless sense of urgency that made potentially chaotic situation at the very least managable, if not steady.
The message is clear, and Seymour wanted it to be known how he and his teammates feel about their coach, and the shirt speaks for itself.
Football: Bonita well aware of Arcadia's prowess.
By Aram Tolegian, Staff Writer
Given how things looked at the mid-point of the season, the Bonita High School football team really can't complain too much about getting powerful Arcadia in the first round of the CIF-Southern Section Southeast Division playoffs.
At 8-2, the Apaches are thought by many to be the second-best team in the division and the team most likely to give No. 1 seed West Covina its best game.
Unfortunately for Bonita, though, Arcadia enters the postseason as the No. 2 team out of the Pacific League and that opened the door for a matchup like Friday's.
"I'm not the greatest bracketologist in the world, but looking at them on film, they're an outstanding team," Bonita coach Eric Podley said.
"They've got a lot of talent, good discipline and a great record. They're a tough draw, without question.
"I kinda thought we'd get them or Mayfair. Either one of them would be tough teams."
Considering Bonita was last year's runner-up, Friday's game with Arcadia is almost too good to take place in the first round. But the Bearcats started the season 2-4 and even making the playoffs was a real long shot until a big fourth-quarter rally against Los Altos on Oct. 21. That win sparked a four-game win streak for Bonita that has the Bearcats hitting their stride at just the right time.
"We still don't feel like we're playing to the full extent of our potential, but that's a good thing that we still have room to go," Podley said. "At some point, you need the potential and it better be pretty quick because these guys (Arcadia) are pretty good."
Bonita junked the more wide-open offense it was using earlier in the season for a more run-based system. The Bearcats haven't been complicated, but they have been brutally effective. Running backs Cameron Griffin (907 yards) and Reggie Turner (748) have proved to be quite the duo.
Bonita had better hope its ground game can eat clock and keep a talented Arcadia offense off the field. The Apaches are averaging 37.6 points per game. Arcadia quarterback Myles Carr cannot be counted on to make mistakes either, as evidenced by his 25-to-3 touchdowns-to-interceptions ratio.
"You guys have been talking about them all year, so it wasn't a shock to see their skill talent," Podley said. "I do read the papers, so I guess I'm not shocked by it. They're definitely a good team and from what people have said, this is one of their best teams that they've had in a number of years."
Football: The picks are in. I've done my job, go do yours.

Friday Night Aftermath: Arcadia beats CV, 31-7, will go as second-place team in playoffs; PHS finishes third; Muir can hope for at-large berth; La Salle, Cantwell invovled in a brawl after Lancers' 29-12 loss, details to come.
LA SALLE-CANTWELL BRAWL UPDTAE NO. 2 (1:44 a.m.) We have learned through a source the La Salle football player who was punched was Stjepan Vinski. He is usually No. 56 but switched to 25 for this game.
LA SALLE-CANTWELL BRAWL UPDATE NO. 1 (11:28 p.m.) — Montebello police Sgt. Julio Calleros confirmed there was one arrest for battery on a man affiliated with Cantwell-Sacred Heart. He was led off the field in handcuffs and Calleros confirmed the arrest. From our reporter there who witnessed the whole thing, the brawl erupted after the teams exchanged handshakes. Players then began spatting back and forth, prompting coaching staffs from both teams to meet at the center of the field. Chaos erupted shortly after as people began wrestling, people were knocked to the ground. A La Salle player wearing jersey No. 25 (not listed in any roster on MaxPreps or on La Salle's athletic website) was knocked down from behind by a person in the melee (this incident occurred five feet from our reporter). Our reporter cannot confirm whether the man arrested for battery is the same man he witnessed making the assault. There were multiple waves of chaos, our reporter said. Police responded with multiple units and an air unit as well. The La Salle player (No. 25) was talked to the most by police, which took statements from a myriad of people, including our reporter Nathan Cambridge. Photos were taken of of the La Salle player's side of his head. We want to make this clear: the man affiliated with Cantwell was NOT coach, but rather a person from the sidelines or from the stands, according to Cambridge. Our reporter added that the No. 25 kid from La Salle confirmed to him that he was OK. When asked, "Are you OK" the player said, "Yes." He followed up with, "You're fine?" and the player responded, "Yes." We will get more details when they become available.
Friday's results
Arcadia 31, Crescenta Valley 7 — The Apaches finish as Pacific League co-champions with Burroughs, but the Indians go to the Southeast Division as the No. 1 representative out of the Pacific League, with the Apaches at second, PHS at third and CV at fourth. PHS is third because the Bulldogs won the coin flip between CV and Muir. CV is fourth because the next tiebreaker is head-to-head competition, leaving Muir out in fifth place. The Mustangs, however, could still make the playoffs as the at-large team, and in that scenario would likely face West Covina, the No. 1 team in the Southeast Division. Here's another wrinkle: Arcadia for the last few weeks has been the No. 2 seed in the Southeast Division. CIF rules, however, state that a second-place team cannot be seeded higher than its league champion. Meaning Arcadia could drop from No. 2 to make room for Burroughs. Pacific League coordinator and CV coach Paul Schilling said there's a possibility Burroughs could get a No. 4 seed as a league champion (four league champions in the division) with Arcadia at No. 5, perhaps even lower. Crazy, right?
St. Francis 54, Cathedral 8 — St. Francis scored 35 points in the first five minutes of the third quarter. Christian Hess returned the second-half kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. Cathedral turned the ball over on four consecutive drives and the Golden Knights scored on all four takeaways. Two fumbles were recovered and returned by Matt Casciani and the other was returned by Raul Castillo. Cathedral had just one pass attempt (incomplete) the whole game.
Cantwell-Sacred Heart 29, La Salle 12 — According to our reporter there, the teams were involved in a brawl after the game. I just got a Twitter update that read, "Players and coaches in full scale brawl!" Our reporter just updated me that there's a strong police presence at Cantwell. Read the Star-News on Saturday for details. According to sources, a police helicopter hovered over the scene as well.
Rio Hondo Prep 49, Webb 7 – Ken Drain records his 100th career win with the Kares as Rio Hondo Prep wins its fifth consecutive Prep League championship. The Kares in that span have lost only one game, to Chadwick in 2008. Quarterback Colby Rivera was 5 of 10 for 101 yards and two touchdowns that included a 57-yard strike to Ty Loomis for a touchdown. The Kares headed into the half with a 35-0 lead and closed the game with two touchdowns.
Chadwick 46, Flintridge Prep 14 — Tough season for the Rebels.
Viewpoint 35, Pasadena Poly 14 — The Panthers are eliminated from the playoffs with the loss.
Bosco Tech 37, Mary Star 12 — The Tigers head to the playoffs as the fourth place team in the Del Rey League, according to Bosco Tech coach Chris Shockley.
Thursday Night Aftermath: Muir extends Turkey Tussle win streak to 13 with 14-6 win over rival Pasadena; Villalobos leads San Gabriel to Almont League title with 21-10 win over Schurr; Alhambra clinches second; Temple City wins final game, 56-0.
Thursday's Results
Muir 14, Pasadena 6 — Josh Washington led the second-half charge, capping a clock-chewing 18-play drive with a 1-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. He then connected with Kevon Seymour on a 44-yard touchdown pass to beat Pasadena and win its 13th straight win in the Turkey Tussle. Riian Simpson returned a punt 57 yards in the first quarter to put the Bulldogs on the scoreboard. But Pasadena could not convert three red zone possessions and had three turnovers in the second half to seal the game.
Monrovia 34, South Pasadena 22 — Marquise Bias had a big night with 118 yards and three touchdowns on 15 carries. Luke Williams had three catches for 103 yards and a touchdown and an interception that set up a Wildcats score. Blake Heyworth went 8 of 18 for 225 yards and a touchdown. South Pasadena had five turnovers, the ball game.
Alhambra 27, Bell Gardens 24 — Moors had a 13-point halftime lead before Bell Gardens scored the next 17. By the end of the third quarter, though, Alhambra had the lead when Josh Mendoza connected on a 38-yard touchdown pass to Ezra Broadus. Moors finish second in Almont League behind San Gabriel.
San Gabriel 21, Schurr 10 — Quarterback Andy Guerrero led a balanced attack, rushing 22 times for 129 yards and a touchdown. He completed 12 of 20 for 206 yards and two touchdowns. Alex Villalobos had five catches for 81 yards and two touchdowns. The San Gabriel defense created five turnovers, and that was key.
San Marino 37, La Canada 13 — Kwame Do had a monster night for the Titans, rushing for 224 yards on 32 carries and four touchdowns. The Titans defense recorded five sacks and recorded a safety. San Marino finishes in second in the Rio Hondo League with a 4-1 record.
Temple City 56, Blair 0 — Rams had a strong running attack, led by Jamie Dea, who had a 116 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries. Roger Tsung had 123 yards and one touchdown on nine carries. Temple City coach Mike McFarland said it was a great way to finish off a rough season, and that next season expect the Rams to be competitive again.

Signing Day: Athletes make college commitments official
By Miguel A. Melendez, Staff Writer
PASADENA – Fifteen area athletes made their college choices official during the early signing day period on Wednesday.
There were those who have high aspirations of a possible professional career and national championships, while others wanted a perfect blend of academics and athletics.
Baseball and softball produced the most area athletes headed to top Division I programs.
La Salle's Bowdien Derby, who committed at the end of the summer, is headed to San Diego State. St. Francis standout David Olmedo-Barrera signed with CalState Fullerton, Temple City's Corey Copping signed with UCSanta Barbara and Alhambra's Gary Acuna is headed to San Jose State.
Derby, a two-time Star-News All-Area selection, was nothing short of spectacular his junior season. He clocked at 91 mph in his final game of last season, going 10-1 in 15 appearances with seven complete games, five shutouts, 101 strikeouts and a 0.94 ERA.
Derby said he's being recruited as a pitcher as well as a shortstop. He batted .435 with three home runs, 19 RBIs and 12 doubles.
Derby has taken several unofficial trips to San Diego State but will make his official visit next week. He also considered UC Santa Barbara, Loyola Marymount, Arizona and Oregon.
Olmedo-Barrera is a two-time All-Area selection. The talented shortstop said he was leaning hard toward UCLA, but then Bruins assistant coach Rick Vanderhook accepted the head coaching position at Cal State Fullerton.

Susan Calman, the host of STV's brand new quiz show The Lie, has admitted the show caused a few lovers' tiffs, as the couples playing rowed over the right answers to give in a bid to win the £10,000 jackpot.
Scottish comic Susan heads up the brand new programme which kicks off on STV on Monday March 31 at 8pm for eight episodes, and sees couples teaming up against other couples, to try to outwit each other.
And with unique twist on the format of the traditional quiz show, things soon got troublesome for the competitors...
"In The Lie there's no question. You have to spot a lie in a series of statements, so it's not a traditional game show, but you can play along at home as you would any other show," Susan explained.
"I think that makes it a bit harder. In the back of your mind you think, 'Are they trying to trick me?'"
Before long, the teams were on the edge as they tried desperately to get the right – or should that be wrong? – answer.
"They got competitive because it's couples that play and sometimes there were disagreements between the couples about how they should play the game. It's a £10,000 jackpot, so it's a lot of money they're playing for.
"I think afterwards there might have been some recriminations.
"If you watch the show occasionally someone might have been unhappy with their partner's decision!"
Check out the video above to see what else Susan had to say about The Lie, which begins on STV on Monday March 31 at 8pm for eight episodes.

Transcriptional control of marginal zone (MZ) and follicular (FO) B cell development remains incompletely understood. The transcription factor, IFN regulatory factor (IRF)8, is known to play important roles in the differentiation of early B cells. In this article, we demonstrate that IRF8 is also required for normal development of MZ and FO B cells. Mice with a conventional knockout of Irf8 (IRF8(-/-)) or a point mutation in the IRF association domain of IRF8 had increased numbers of MZ B cells. To determine the B cell-intrinsic effects of IRF8 deficiency, we generated mice with a conditional allele of Irf8 crossed with CD19-Cre mice (designated IRF8-conditional knockout [CKO]). These mice had enlarged MZ and increased numbers of MZ and FO B cells compared with controls. The FO B cells of CKO mice exhibited reduced expression of CD23 and moderately increased expression of CD21. Gene-expression profiling showed that increased B cell production in IRF8-CKO mice was associated with changes in expression of genes involved in regulation of transcription, signaling, and inflammation. Functional studies showed that IRF8-CKO mice generated normal Ab responses to T-independent and T-dependent Ags. Thus, IRF8 controls the expansion and maturation of MZ and FO B cells but has little effect on B cell function.

Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California
For a player who has dealt with anxiety issues, Zack Greinke is facing what may be one of the most high-pressure days of his career.
It's his first meaningful game since signing one of the richest pitching contracts in history, and his first with one of baseball's most storied franchises. Plus, Greinke is trying to show his new home fans that a recent elbow issue is no longer a problem as the Los Angeles Dodgers face the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.Social anxiety disorder plagued Greinke early in his Kansas City Royals tenure, but he overcame it to win the 2009 AL Cy Young Award and was among the most sought-after free agents this winter. He said upon entering his first Dodgers camp in February that the condition is firmly under control."I don't think about it at all. I don't get stressed by it," said Greinke, who joined Los Angeles with a six-year deal worth $147 million. "It's just something that was a problem before, but it isn't now. I'm sure it could be somewhere in the future, but it's not anything that affects me."The right-hander went 15-5 with a 3.48 ERA last season, performing as well with the Los Angeles Angels during the playoff chase as he did with Milwaukee during the first half of 2012 before getting traded. Greinke went 5-0 with a 2.04 ERA in his final eight starts.Elbow soreness kept him out of exhibition games for three-plus weeks in March, though his final spring outing was a good one. He threw five innings of one-run ball with five strikeouts against the Angels on Saturday."I still don't know how it's going to react," Greinke told the Dodgers' official website. "It should be fine. But I guess it could happen again. I don't know. I can't predict the future."Greinke defeated his current team in his only start at Dodger Stadium, allowing a run in six innings of a 2-1 Brewers win May 31. He faced Pittsburgh five times during his 1 1/2 seasons with Milwaukee and usually struggled, posting a 6.30 ERA, but he did go 3-1.Los Angeles got a shutout from Clayton Kershaw to open the season but has since seen Hyun-Jin Ryu and Josh Beckett lose to San Francisco. That duo gave up all eight runs but only four were earned as the Dodgers committed four errors.Manager Don Mattingly's lineup has totaled seven runs, going 2 for 27 with runners in scoring position and hitting .176 overall. Sluggers Matt Kemp and Adrian Gonzalez are 1 for 19.However, that performance came against the vaunted Giants staff, whereas this series sees Los Angeles face Jonathan Sanchez and Jeff Locke -- each had one win in 2012 -- along with A.J. Burnett.First up is Sanchez, coming off the worst of his seven big-league seasons. The left-hander went 1-9 with an 8.07 ERA in 15 starts for Kansas City and Colorado.Sanchez was told he made the Pirates rotation last week even though he gave up 11 runs, 18 hits and 10 walks in 18 innings during spring training. The former Giant is 3-1 with a 2.10 ERA in his past four starts versus the Dodgers, though he hasn't faced them since April 2011.He's hoping the Pirates' bats wake up after totaling six runs and 13 hits in their season-opening series as the Cubs took two of three."Once our offense gets rolling, we're going to be tough to beat," said Russell Martin, 0 for 10 in his first three games with Pittsburgh.Clint Barmes' two doubles account for half of the Pirates' extra-base hits -- they have yet to homer -- and he's 7 for 11 against Greinke.Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

Dansk Tatovering/ Danish Tattooing - Jon Nordstrøm Author: Jon Nordstrøm This book offers unique insight into a colourful tradition from 1895 onwards and portrays the strong, Danish characters behind body art. Danish Tattooing traces the visual development from 1895 up to the present day, with the Golden Age of the 1960s particularly rich on fascinating tales from a rough scene. The book is full of anecdotes and historical photographs of larger-than-life characters and tattooing hotspots: the raw Nyhavn, where sailors and drunk Swedes got their tattoos, and the even rougher Istedgade, which developed into a new tattooing hub in the 1980s. Actually, Copenhagen was the heart and soul of tattooing in Scandinavia until the mid-seventies. The book returns to the present by portraying 14 working tattoo artists, along with their distinctive artwork from classic designs to the latest graffiti and hip-hop styles. This is the new generation that will trace the next chapters in the history of Danish tattooing. Language: Danish and English Pages: 300 ISBN: 9788799315000

Hawks select PG Raul Neto with 47th pick in draft |
Written by Admin |
Thursday, 27 June 2013 18:59 |
ATLANTA (AP) - The Hawks have selected point guard Raul Neto of Brazil with the 47th overall pick in the NBA draft. Neto, 21, averaged 8.0 points and 2.8 assists this season for Lagun Aro GBC in a Spanish league. Pending NBA approval of a proposed trade earlier Thursday night, the Hawks also were likely to acquire the rights to Bucknell center Mike Muscala, whom Dallas took with the 44th pick. The 6-foot-11, 234-pound Muscala averaged 18.7 points and 11.1 rebounds in his senior year at Bucknell. Neto was the second point guard drafted by Atlanta, which took Dennis Schroeder of Germany 17th overall. Atlanta was waiting for NBA approval to a proposed trade that would send the rights to center Lucas Nogueira of Brazil and Muscala to the Hawks. |

Eight Ni proteins are known and three of these, CO dehydrogenase (CODH), acetyl-CoA synthase (ACS), and hydrogenase, are Ni-Fe-S proteins. In the last three years, the long-awaited structures of CODH and ACS have been solved. The bioinorganic community was shocked, as the structures of the active sites of CODH and ACS, the C- and A-cluster, respectively, which each had been predicted to consist of a [Fe4S4] cluster bridged to a single Ni, revealed unexpected compositions and arrangements. Crystal structures of ACS revealed major differences in protein conformation and in A-cluster composition; for example, a [Fe4S4] cluster bridged to a binuclear center in which one of the metal binding sites was occupied by Ni, Cu, or Zn. Recent studies have revealed Ni-Ni to be the active state, unveiled the source of the heterogeneity that had plagued studies of CODH/ACS for decades, and produced a metal-replacement strategy to generate highly active and nearly homogeneous enzyme.
