In this pilot study, we attempted to determine the optimal dosage regimens of esomeprazole for treatment of GERD with minimal influence of the CYP2C19 polymorphism through a study of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of esomeprazole given at 3 different dosage regimens with the same total daily dose.
Each of the 3genotypes of CYP2C19, homozygous extensive metabolizers (homEMs), heterozygous EMS (hetEMs), and poor metabolizers (PMs) were recruited in this clinical trial. Subjects were given a placebo followed by the administration of esomeprazole, at a dose of 40 mg once daily (40QD), 20 mg twice daily (20TD), or 10 mg 4 times daily (10Q4D) for 7 days. Twenty-four-hour and nocturnal intragastric pH and plasma esomeprazole concentrations were all determined on day 7.
The pharmacokinetic parameters and dynamic characteristics differed among the 3 CYP2C19 genotype groups. With esomeprazole 40QD, gastric acid suppression was insufficient to achieve a therapeutic effect, while 20TD and 10Q4D were found to be effective in controlling both daytime and nocturnal gastric acidity for all 3 genotype groups.
It was confirmed that intragastric pH values and plasma esomeprazole concentrations potentially depended on the CYP2C19 genotype status for treatment with esomeprazole. Dosage regimens of divided doses of 20TD or 10Q4D esomeprazole yielded improved antisecretory effects with a minimal influence of CYP2C19 polymorphisms.

From: Lily Luna Potter
To: Harry James Potter
Written on an uncrumpled piece of pink stationary paper with the Hogwarts stamp at the top.
Dear Dad,
I met a funny ghost girl in the bathroom at school today. She told me to tell you she says hi, so I decided to write to you before I forgot. After all, Christmas break is a long way away, but I don't mind: Hogwarts is everything you've ever told me it would be.
Lots of love,
— Lily xoxo
PS: I was Sorted into Gryffindor! I was so worried that I would be Hatstalled — I waited for almost two whole minutes. The Sorting Hat was debating in between Gryffindor or Hufflepuff; I wouldn't have minded either. Wasn't Teddy's mum a Hufflepuff?
Hatstall: [hat-stall] A hatstall is a person who sits on the Hogwarts stool for more then five minutes because the Sorting Hat cannot choose in what house that child should be in.

Beer's perfume and lotion of grease
His nights are day and has the sun for lamp!
He plays with spanner and chews a screw
Picking his teeth with copper wire
Pulls up those masts and mends the ship
Pulls up those masts and mends the ship
His love, the only thing he ever admired
He is ruthless and sings loathing songs
As he changes the engine's comatose fate
Sleeps in its laps and sings lullaby
As if it were his some fancy date!
He is no maker and rather mends the things
And takes pride at his blue collar
He defies to rise and keeps his tag
He defies to rise and keeps his tag
Puffing tobacco wrapped in that new green dollar!

Pictures from this morning. We are in the last days of fall and I finally managed to have some pictures with the fall leaves. It rained very heavily the last three days, due to rain and heavy work I couldn't go out in this period, so today's morning walk was really refreshing.
Hoping to continue my morning walks in the following days. My legs are asking for it, they hurt at the end of long working hours in front of PC.
Till soon : )

DeForest Family of the SouthUpdated March 21, 2008 |
Joanie DeForest
15819 Echo Hill Drive
Houston, TX 77059
713-817-0671 |
I am researching the DeForest family. They originated in France, then came to New York. Eventually, some of them came south and created our line. Family history handed down through the generations tells that all of the DeForest men were boatmen (e.g. captains, seamen, etc.) I am trying to connect the southern line to the northern line. My gggrandfather (John Lane DeForest)is from New York City. He was probably born around 1835. I am also researching the Spence, Cole, Casterline, and Simpson lines, all from the south. The Cole line is probably from Georgia or Alabama. My information is scarce. I am searching for Spence family connections in Texas, probably around the Bastrop County area. The Simpson and Casterline family lines are in Texas, but the Simpsons originate from Edinborough, Scotland with Jonas A Simpson. I'd love to hear from others looking for those surnames or any others that may be connected. |

1 Sonic the BlunderhogRevantSolty | 28/04/2007 | See all RevantSolty's reviews (30)Before i say anything, let me just say ive been a fan of sonic the hedgehog since the Mega Drive games, and no i wont write an epic review as to why the game is bad, but il just bring up a few pointsFirstly, Sonic on the 360/PS3 has this problem with loading, it is infact ridiculus, when wondering around Soleana(sp?) and triggering a cutscene, you do infact have a long wait, then once over, you guessed it, the game re loads the entire level section, this is what you call poor coding.Secondly, the level design , is quite frankly awful, you will be subject to cheap deaths, because the camera is a joke, its a mess, for example you may be doing a complex amount of jumps only to find the camera goes weird, and down into the water/pit/abyss you goThe Graphics are alright, but dont let the rather nice opening scene fool you.this is, possibly one of the most flawed sonic games in existance, i would say only buy if your a hard core fan, but getting to grips with how bad/buggy this game is, is a whole new game in itself.for shame sega. sonic has gone downhill and fast.stick to the DS/Wii Sonic games, much better, because they arent actually made by Sonic Team mostly =]
1 where the hedgehog gone???onetoothofchaos | 29/07/2007 | See all onetoothofchaos's reviews (10)the camera angles on this game are terrible. your lives are constantly robbed because you cannot see enemies around you due to the poor camera controls. very frustrating!!! visuals arent to great. bring back the 2D version SEGA!!!
1 Just awful in every possible wayRavenwolf | 27/04/2007 | See all Ravenwolf's reviews (52)This is probably the worst Sonic game I have ever played in my life.It takes up the Sonic Adventure style of gameplay from the old Dreamcast classic series and turns it into a complete mess, with insanely long levels for a game supposedly based on 'speed' and the worst camera ever to grace a videogame ever. The camera in this game will cause untold frustration if you play it, and if that doesn't turn you off, the awful controls, far too steep difficulty, and juvenile garbage storyline most certainly will.Do not buy this game, it really is that simple. I know the 360 is sorely lacking decent platformers right now, but don't try looking for one here. It's awful.
2 reviewlee4more | 28/04/2007 | See all lee4more's reviews (4)Wasnt impressed, too hard and nothing to explore. Sonic adventure on the dreamcast was better than this.
5 Wicked!!funchalgirl | 19/09/2007 | See all funchalgirl's reviews (2)I was sceptic about this game due to all the bad reviews but I took a chance and bought it anyway as I am a sonic fan. And I love it!! Still in the middle of it and its keeping me glued to my controller! I even rush home from work to play it. The best sonic game ever if you ask me! Definately recommended.

Social media makes money
And a lot of it. With promoted posts, new e-commerce plays, and other endeavors, Facebook and Twitter have found ways to make a pretty penny.
Sure, the Facebook IPO faceplant marred the idea that the world's biggest social network is worth anywhere near the $100 billion market valuation that bankers gave it out of the gate. But look beyond that massive miscalculation and you'll find plenty of evidence that 2012 was a breakthrough year for social media -- businesswise, that is.
Facebook's on track to post revenue of more than $5 billion for 2012 -- a growing portion of that coming from ads it serves to people doing their social networking from their phones . And it's amping up its commerce business, whereby you can give actual, through-the-mail gifts to friends via Facebook .
Then there's Twitter, long derided for its money-burning ways. Turns out promoted tweets are quite a business: eMarketer estimates that Twitter's revenue will jump more than 86 percent to almost $260 million this year, and some are projecting a billion in revenue by 2014. Now that's something to tweet about.

My LHBS only carries Munich in a can and it's a 50% blend of pale and munch. So if I have a recipe calling for 3# of Munch LME does that mean I should use two cans?
No, unless the recipe were to say "100% Munich Extract" or something like that then they more than likely mean the typical munch/base malt blended extract as that is what is the most common.

Brace yourselves everyone, the end of the world is near. Now before you start hoarding supplies and building bunkers, let me clarify. The world we're talking about here is the world wide web.
Maybe I'm taking this apocalypse metaphor a bit too far, but the fact of the matter is the web is undergoing a shift like nothing we've ever seen before, in the form of a transition to mobile. Sooner rather than later, the mobile web will completely change the way we communicate and interact, and here at FiddleFly we want to be right on the front lines of that shift.
The evolution of the mobile web is one that moves quickly—very quickly—so it seems only appropriate we do the same. Our product has spread to thousands of businesses and nine different countries in less than a year's time and we have grown as a community along with it.
Right now, FiddleFly is in the process of taking some pretty exciting steps. We've just moved into our new office (the paint is literally still drying), we've hired some really talented new faces and are in the process of bringing in a few more, and most importantly, we've launched our second generation software that will bring a level of ease and efficiency to the mobile web development process like nothing you've seen before.
While it's all fine and good to point big neon signs at ourselves, that's not what we're about here. What we really want to do is start having conversations about things that are important in our industry. Building a dialogue is essential to us, and not just about what we're doing, but what our affiliates are up to, what our supporters are saying, and most of all what our customers are talking about. This product has the capability to radically change the way not only businesses and customers interact, but more importantly the way people interact, which we think is pretty cool.
Our founder and president Alex Kutsishin talks about our role in the mobile web movement saying, "We aren't about simply pushing a product in the mobile boom, we're about creating a community of people who are excited about the possibilities mobile web development can create, and who are committed to contributing to the mobile web revolution."
So maybe the world (or at least the world wide web) isn't quite coming to an end, but everyday we are seeing it reshape our lives in new and fascinating ways. From an African Chief using Twitter to keep peace in his village to a major advertising firm partnering with a lollipop company to develop a social gaming venture, the mobile web is always expanding and so are we.
We want to know what you think. Leave your thoughts/questions below, connect with us us on twitter @fiddlefly or facebook http://www.facebook.com/pages/FiddleFly/141472832592724, and let's get the conversation started. Take a look at some of the great new features our new platform brings here.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Hudson & Fournier: Catholic Countdown to Election 2012, Day 6. The Art of Speaking Catholic Nonsense
By Deal W Hudson and Keith A Fournier
October 30th, 2012 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) With Election Day a week away, it's no surprise that Obama's Catholics are engaging in the art of speaking Catholic nonsense. As everyone knows, or should know, Biden rejects an entire list of moral and social teachings that protect persons and society from the destruction of innocent human life, the family, and our natural right to obey God without interference from the State. WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - With Election Day a week away, it's no surprise that Obama's Catholics are engaging in the art of speaking Catholic nonsense. O'Brien, for any who may not know, replaced Frances Kissling at the helm of a "Catholic" group that promotes abortion and contraception to a mainstream media who lap it up. (The US Catholic Bishops have formally declared, several times, that O'Brien's group is NOT a Catholic organization.) Whatever happened to the life-is-a-journey sort of thing that Catholics like O'Brien used to wax poetical about? All of a sudden we are in a world of once-and-for-alls and theological finality: "What makes you Catholic is your Baptism." Really? Is that all there is to it, nothing else is required? Perhaps O'Brien should watch the Biden video where he equates being a "practicing Catholic" with helping those less fortunate. Humpty Dumpty didn't allow Alice the last word, Humpty Dumpties never do: "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master -- that's all." Yes, to be the "master" is all that matters to the Catholics who speak nonsense. Nov. 6 will reveal whether their gibberish will prevail with Catholic voters.

Networking & Wireless | News
Daramalan College, a secondary school in Canberra, Australia, has implemented Ethernet fabric technology to improve network performance and support increased network traffic resulting from real-time video streaming and administrative operations.
Over the past two years, the school has overhauled its network infrastructure. The first two phases of the project involved upgrading the campus local area network (LAN) and core network, but those improvements created a performance bottleneck for server access. The school had begun to virtualize its server environment, but each server had only a single one-gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connection to support virtual machines and a virtual LAN connection to the storage array, which was affecting performance.
"In a sense we'd become victims of our own success," said Rob Wilson, IT manager for Daramalan College, in a prepared statement. To solve this problem, the school embarked on the third phase of its network infrastructure upgrade, implementing Ethernet fabric to support server access.
Working together with Correct Communications, the school selected Brocade VDX 6720 switches and Brocade VCS Fabric technology to replace its legacy server access infrastructure. Since Daramalan College had implemented Brocade switches in the first two phases of its network upgrade with positive results, the school didn't hesitate to work with the company again.
The school is using the VDX 6720 switches for its high-availability infrastructure to connect its server farm to the rest of its network. The switches are interconnected over multiple 10 GbE links to create a low-latency, single-layer Ethernet fabric with multiple 10 GbE links to its core network. According to a news release from Brocade, the switches enable the school to establish fully redundant, high-bandwidth connections to its servers and storage array, with each device connected to the VDX 6720 switches over 10 GbE links that are load-balanced to maximize performance. The switches also automatically establish high-performance virtual machine-aware connections over the Ethernet fabric without any legacy network protocol issues.
The upgrade has been a success. "The deployment of the Ethernet fabric between our servers and the network core has been a triumph," said Wilson. "Once we had finished upgrading our servers and storage with dual 10 GbE interfaces, the network felt crisper, more vibrant and dynamic. Even the students noticed and commented."
In the future, the school plans to implement a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) initiative and move toward virtual desktops, and the server-based processing and online storage upgrades will support those projects as well.
"The days of relying on consumer-grade technology for school networking are over. It simply can't deal with today's heavy IT workload," said Wilson. "With Brocade's advanced, but cost-effective, switching technology we have a seriously fast network that positions us ahead of the curve and ready to handle massive growth in network traffic over the next few years."
Daramalan College is an independent secondary school located in the southeastern Australian city of Canberra. The school serves more than 1,460 boys and girls in grades seven through 12.

Indians in the United States in 1822
Posted By Dennis On In Census,Native American | No Comments
Discover your

Enter a grandparent's name to get started.
The following is from the report of Rev. Jedediah Morse, special United States Indian commissioner, June 6, 1822, shows all the Indian tribes within the limits of the United States at that time, Including a few tribes not in the United States, but bordering on the northern and southern boundaries related to or intermingling with them, the number of each tribe and the places of their residence. The report gives the names of about 230 tribes, tentative of course with the total population of 471,417.
In fulfillment of the foregoing commission, I left New Haven on the 10th of May 1820, with my youngest son, Mr. Richard C. Morse, for my companion, and travelled to the northwest, as far as Green Bay, in the N. W. Territory; a distance, the way we travelled, of 1500 miles. We passed in Steamboats to New York and Albany; thence to Utica in the stage; to Montezuma, ninety-six miles, on the new Canal; thence to Buffalo by stage; thence across Lake Erie to Detroit, and thence to Mackinaw, in the Steam-Boat Walk-in- the-water; thence to L'Arbre Croche, thirty-six miles, in birch canoes; thence to Green Bay, in the U. S. Cutter Dallas, Capt. Knapp; and returned home to New Haven on nearly the same route, where we arrived on the 30th of August, after an absence of nearly four months. To the Great Preserver of men, we would devoutly render the tribute of praise due to Him, for his goodness manifested in our preservation and prosperity.
In New York, we remained four days, making preparations for the journey; in Albany two days, for the same purpose; in Canandaigua one day, where I had an interview with J. Parrish, Esq. Indian agent. A council of the Six Nations had been appointed the 1st of June, which I was expected to attend. As, however, the Steamboat for Detroit was to depart the 31st May, and the omission to take that opportunity, would delay us a fortnight, deranging all my plans for the west, 1 left a hasty speech with the Agent, and Rev. Mr. Hyde, to be communicated to the Council,* and embarked in the Steamboat. Read more…

Food Network Debuts First Restaurant in Ft. Lauderdale's Airport
Food Network fanatics have a new way to enjoy a taste of the channel's cuisine. The Associated Press reports that the channel partnered with Delaware North to open its first restaurant, Food Network Kitchen, in the Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood airport.
The eatery, which quietly opened in mid-October, is now taking orders at the JetBlue terminal where passengers are flying to and from the South Florida hangar to destinations as near as Boston and as far as Bogota, Colombia. The restaurant aims to serve "Classic Fare and Local Flavor." Items on the made-to-order menu draw from Florida's Latin community, such as the Cuban breakfast burrito and Nos Cuban Sandwich. An iconic Florida food, Key lime, is showcased in condiments from mayo to tartar sauce. The restaurant pours its own wine, Entwine, as well as house-made cocktails.

As far as the digs go, you'll get a glimpse into what the real Food Network test kitchen looks like with the stainless steel professional surfaces, butcher block counter, and a ceiling displaying pots and pans. There are TV monitors running Food Network programming, including tips and factoids on cooking. You can rest assured that the network spent months developing recipes to showcase organic produce, all-natural meats, and artisan-baked breads. "We really wanted to bring our culinary expertise to the forefront and bring the brand to life," said Sergei Kuharsky, general manager of Food Network's new business enterprises.

Since its official opening on November 8, the Associated Press reports that the Food Network Kitchen has served roughly 1,500 customers per day. Another is set to open in the JetBlue terminal this spring with more to follow, including a location at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport by the end of 2013.
Are you hoping the Food Network will open a restaurant in your airport? Have you already sampled the menu at the Ft. Lauderdale location?

Aditya Birla's Goel moves to Hancock Coal
PUBLISHED: 13 Apr 2012 13:27:00 | UPDATED: 13 Apr 2012 15:18:09PRINT EDITION: 10 Apr 2012Copper producer Aditya Birla Minerals is looking for a new CFO. Photo: Belinda Pratten,
Sally Rose
Umesh Goel says his experience of working in India gives him an understanding of both worlds.
Copper miner Aditya Birla Minerals' chief financial officer Umesh Goel has resigned effective at the end of April. Goel is leaving to take on the role of group CFO at Hancock Coal.
Hancock currently has $10 billion worth of project costs across its three coal sites, a rail and a port development. Goel says the business is in an expansion phase.
Goel was headhunted by Hancock Coal's parent company, the Indian based GVK Group, which acquired the company from Gina Rinehart in September last year.
Experience working in India gives him "an understanding of both worlds", says Goel, and this helped him get the job, along with his track record in risk management and setting up new finance teams.
He also cites his experience with initial public offerings – as CFO he was instrumental in guiding Aditya Birla through the process of listing on the Australian Stock Exchange in 2006 – as an important line on his resume. Although, he notes, that doesn't mean he will necessarily have to use that experience, as the GVK Group has no plans to list Hancock Coal at the moment.
Goel says the Aditya Birla CEO is taking care of finding his replacement and he's not sure if it will be an internal or external appointment.
The top qualities his replacement will need are good skills in risk management, fund-raising, project management and investor relations, says Goel.
Corporate finance manager Sushil Dugar has been named as the interim CFO, meanwhile.

Pretty colors, loud noises, all fun with fireworks. And locals say they know how to enjoy it and be safe.
"Definitely make sure that the area your launching fireworks is not dry because that can start a forest fire and then don't aim fireworks at your friends, we tried that last year and that wasn't too smart. So definitely don't point anything at each other, that's not good," says fireworks buyer Joseph Ault.
As this is a busy time of year for local firework retailers, they still want to make sure everyone knows how to safely enjoy the festivities. They say all it takes is reading the label.
"Use the fireworks as their intended, usually they'll all have label instructions on where to put them, how to aim them if there is a particular item that has to be aimed in a certain way and never alter fireworks, don't try to build your own. That can be dangerous, " says manager of Holiday Fireworks Bryan Smith.
"Have a water hose close by, a bucket of water, just in case a spark hits the ground and starts a little fire, you can put it out pretty quick".
"We certainly are proud of our country and proud of the service that the military do for the country, we want this to be a happy holiday but we want people to use common sense when their using fireworks," says co-owner of BJ's Fireworks June Brannon.
You should always be at a safe distance when watching fireworks. Once you light it, get to a safe distance and enjoy.
"You want to maintain a safe distance from your fireworks, probably around 75 feet when your firing them," says Brannon.
"As long as you use them the way they're intended, they're very safe," says Smith.
Its firework safety that makes the 4th all the more spectacular.
Firework distributors say to get out in a rural area if possible to launch your fireworks.

wtf is a milmore
My penis curves to the left and I've been trying to bend it back for 13 years now.
The Barstool Confessions sucked this week
Milmore you dog you
milmore can get it
Milmore, you savage!
I'm so proud
I'm already laughing at big cats face and i haven't even started it yet
@dinglebarrys41 you must be new
"I look forward to these way more than i shou-" shut the fuck up
Viva La Milmore!
God damn Milmore you did it again! You motorboatin' son of a bitch
Pure genius
Dinglebarry must be in middle school
Nothing takes my mind off of waking up with vomit next to me than these shorts
man, im one cool dad
The laughs started and ended with the cyclops holding burgers
I'm pooping
Milmore comes through again. Pure gold.
Arthur vs KFC ….Barstoolmania I
Make it happen Pres
Hungry hungry hippos for the win
Philadelphia Flyers Flames got me good
Feitelburgs face/tit combo are high comedy
Pres pouring the drink back in the bottle is pure comedy
Ernest goes to camp hahahaha thats the definition of random
A+ but need to settle this, is it "like you 'reed' about or 'red" about"? Need this figured out.
last gun in the bullet is a classic. thanks for reminding
I used to think these were funny, now I struggle to get through them. I don't blame milmore though as these are obviously really well put together and time consuming. Instead of releasing 1 a week why not just release them once you have some solid content, these seemed forced. Sorry for the rant
The Francesca pronunciation gets me every time.
You sand baggin son of a bitch Milmore
I died when I noticed the lemons t-shirt
final gun in the bullet
when life gives you lemons make a fucking tshirt about it
Feits Lego dick hat is hilarious
These cartoon things suck
Not funny anymore. Good run.
Not even trying to be a dick but this was the worst one so far. I sincerely hope these don't jump the shark because they have been so good in the past.
Pouring the goose back into the bottle so prez it hurts also Raymond rondo and air bud = greatest backcourt ever
"Unnaturally Thick"
Unnaturally thick might be the best thing ever
This episode of Barstool Shorts fell flat on its face. Although these are usually entertaining, they are never as good as people hype them up to be.
I hate not getting all the inside jokes
Are fan duel and draft street not the same company? I just assume it's all peeps from Pres's jew-church
Worked a lot this week, I think I missed something with the hamburgers. This one went over my head. Bonus points for the Ernest Goes To Camp reference though. I'd pay top dollar for a Camp Kickakee tshirt. Looking at you, Dave.
Jake the snake Big Cat
Kevins- they always do
I know this may be blasphemy but I think these are slowly jumping the shark
These are getting progressively worse.
Jesus if everyone thinks nothing is funny on this site anymore then stop fucking commenting.. Do something with your lives instead
Funny. Just kidding.
@dancebigcat- what I was thinking. Fuckin whiners
Affliction t gym line was gold.
Name a website that makes fun of itself every week with funny fuckin cartoons. You cant
@dances @buzkil nothing on this site is funny anymore. Comment comment comment. You mad bro?
Pres: "Buhoo"
Can't be mad on sat afternoon/9 buds
Maria Stephanos' bare tits now or GTFO
hey even Jordan had off nights.
Do you know that you can't gain muscle(which you were afraid of doing and was your excuse for not doing weights) if you don't take in more calories than you burn?
Anyone who talks shit about these going downhill or whatever needs to come up with something moderately funny and share it with the one friend they have
Philadelphia Flyersflames was hysterical
I still love you Millmore
Classic case of over saturation… As much as we'd like it to be, this can't be a weekly feature and stay funny..
Worst one so far
@elosoblanco fuck yui
I don't blame milmore I blame barstool for a shitty week giving milmore no material ….this barstool shorts sucked compared to the others and JMac having so many blogs really sucked JMac is so unfunny
@rockvegas22 spot fucking on. He nutted the last two. Remember reading a couple days this week thinking the whole stool was lame that particular day. When I saw short, I understood why it sucked compared to last few.
ehhh 4.75
Let's see more blogs nimilmore!!!
Honest criticism and this will get down voted but don't care. These consist entirely of barstool inside jokes and therefore material is limited and getting stale quickly. Huge fan of these but they need to improve

What's for Breakfast?: Vietnamese Pho
by Leah Brickley in Healthy Recipes, October 13, 2012
We're all familiar with breakfast staples like cereal, scrambled eggs and toast but how does the rest of the world start their day? In Vietnam a rich and aromatic soup made with rice noodles called pho is often eaten at breakfast.
The soup starts with a long simmered broth of roasted beef or chicken bones typically with spices like ginger, cinnamon and star anise (your kitchen will smell amazing!). It's ladled over noodles into big bowls and lucky eaters get to stir in their favorite flavors and toppings like lime juice, fish sauce, bean sprouts, chilies, onion, mint and basil.
Hungry? Try pho for breakfast sometime. Here's a delicious simplified version of pho that can be made in advance. Reheat the broth and keep toppings refrigerated in an airtight container. Try using low-sodium soy sauce in place of the fish sauce.
Remember that pho is perfect for dinner too!
What's your favorite non-traditional breakfast?

The Congress in Karnataka today demanded dismissal of the state government and imposition of President's rule, saying there is 'zero governance' in the wake of internal bickering in the ruling BJP over the leadership issue.
"We urge Karnataka Governor H.R. Bhardwaj to recommend dissolution of the state Assembly as governance has hit a roadblock," Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee President G. Parameshwara told reporters.
He was speaking after Congress candidate K. Rahman Khan filed his nomination for Rajya Sabha election here today.
Mr. Parameshwara also urged Mr. Bhardwaj to facilitate fresh mandate "as government is likely to fall today or tomorrow in the light of internal bickering in BJP reaching flashpoint." He said Congress would submit a memorandum to the Governor, seeking dismissal of the government.

Rock Band iOS app might break even if you purchased itUpdate: Harmonix has responded via the following tweet from John Drake Evidently your purchases aren't safe in the eyes of EA -- even if they're physically located on your device! RockBandAides is reporting that allegedly after May 31st, the Rock Band iOS App by EA will "no longer be playable". Many people are speculating that this is due to short-sighted licensing deals that are set to expire, and the DRM nature of the app itself, which could deny access. Come to think of it, in the digital era, licensing deals are pretty insanely complicated. Just look at Hulu: even though it's technically the same service, there are different licensing contracts for web, mobile, and media hub streaming. Whatever the case, if this is true, it's going to suck for everyone that bought boat loads of DLC for the game. We've reached out to EA/Harmonix for comment.

Hartford, Conn. (AP) - Connecticut lawmakers are setting aside up to $50 million to help Newtown build a new school to replace the one where a shooting massacre took place last year.
The money was tucked into a bonding bill passed Wednesday, the final day of the legislative session. It is among municipal grants for infrastructure projects--and programs including planning, property acquisition, site preparation and construction.
A Newtown task force last month voted to tear down Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 children and six educators were killed. It voted to construct a new building on the site.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said Thursday the state left it up to the town's residents to decide what to do with the school. He says these are the people "who have been most adversely impacted."
Efforts are being made to secure federal money.

Yasumi Matsuno's Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians features cross-platform online play, and that may affect which platforms it comes to. The tactics game from the Vagrant Story director is only confirmed for iOS and Android curently, but developer Playdek is definitely looking at other platforms, and their policies towards cross-platform play.
We asked Joel Goodman, CEO of tabletop studio Playdek, whether or not that could close off the game from certain platforms.
"It potentially could and it potentially couldn't," Goodman said. "We're not speaking [about] any secrets here, we know for some platforms that will be more feasible to do than on others. At that point, then, we'll have to look at it and say, well, what's the more important part here? Is it that we end up with a platform that has a pragmatic community, and we don't want to do that, or that it's well worth it because it's still a gaming community that we want to address and make sure that they get this product as well."
Asked if it was fair to say it sounded like he was talking about previous-gen and current-gen consoles, Goodman replied, "That would be fair." Well, then.
Playdek and Matsuno unveiled Unsung Story at last year's Tokyo Game Show, when it sounded like a lot of the game was still in germination. Goodman told us this week that the game's fantasy world of Rasfalia is much more fully envisioned now, and the studio has more of an understanding of its gameplay and modes.
As Goodman explained, Unsung Story features a "completely envisioned Matsuno world" that's focused around the "77 Years War," a central conflict between two major kingdoms. However, that fight extends to a much more fractured struggle between as many as "13 to 15" different nations and cultures, spread out across that history.
The game is split up into episodes across that timeline, some lasting a year, others as much as a decade, and players can tackle those episodes in whichever order they want. Each episode has central heroes who are key to that particular story, but the tactics gameplay focuses more on the everyday people of the war.
Playdek told us Matsuno is drawing inspiration from the major European wars of the 16th and 17th century, but also from the fractured nature of early Saxon Britain. It all sounds fascinating, but there's some way to go before we'll get to see and play the final version. Goodman confirmed the game's ETA is a "minimum of 2015," which seems fair when you consider it's the San Diego studio's "singularly biggest project" to date.
One thing that is due in 2014 is the first of two digital card games within the Unsung Story IP. Goodman said its progress is going well, with development at the coding stage now.

His Red Bull team mate Sebastian Vettel eventually ended qualifying on top, but Mark Webber came very close to securing pole position at his home race on Saturday. And with rain on the cards, and the Australian Grand Prixs reputation for unusual results, Webber remains confident he could still emerge as the winning driver
Q: Mark, how happy are with your P2 on the grid? Its your home race so youd probably prefer to be on pole position
Mark Webber: For sure I would have loved it the other way around but in the end it was very, very tight. Second is the next best thing to pole and it could have been a lot worse for me.
Q: How much can you do from second position?
MW: Well, I hope a lot. As I just said its the second-best place to start the race. But its going to be a long race and I predict it will be very interesting from a safety car point of view. I hope it is an interesting race for the fans, but not too much for the drivers, as this track is quite challenging.
Q: So talk us through qualifying. It looked quite stressful for a lot of people
MW: It wasnt too stressful. It was just a good fight, as a good qualifying should be. I wasnt much concerned about the weather as it would be the same for everyone. And in the end I think the gap between Sebastian and myself was eight hundredths so it was a very tight fight.
Q: How strange was it to fight with your team mate, knowing that you both have the best cars out there?
MW: Well, you dont really focus on him during the session - you are totally busy with trying to get the best out of the car. We have the luxury of seeing each others telemetry, so we can see where we are gaining and losing against each other. I think that helps the team a lot and it helps us to find more lap time in the car.
Q: What do you expect to happen at the first corner?
MW: I have been in this situation before and we know what we need to do. Its a long race so dont lets get over motivated in the first corner. Weve already pushed each other very hard in qualifying, so I would say that the team have the luxury of having two guys getting the maximum out of the car. Obviously we are representing Red Bull and weve done a pretty good job so far, so we will continue to do that.
Q: The race tomorrow will start quite late and a lot of people in the paddock fear that if it rains the visibility will be quite poor. Do you share those fears?
MW: At this place its pretty hard to predict the weather, so lets see how dark it really is. As far as I know, there are no lights being put up, so Im sure we will get around. All the drivers are unanimous about it, but the show will go on. In fact this track is somewhat prone to producing random results. Remember two years ago when we had only seven cars finishing? But this year I dont want to be part of a random result. I want a nice dry race and to have a good result. I was talking to Fernando (Alonso) and he also agreed that when it starts to get drizzly its hard to see where it is dry and where it isnt. A dry race would be my preferred scenario.
Q: So will it be a two-horse race? You against team mate Sebastian Vettel?
MW: Fernando will be very fast tomorrow and is someone to consider too.

Things are a changing
When we decide to make a change in our lives, we can't seem to just make one. Its almost like we believe things have to happen in the rule of three's.
Change 1: We have started the adoption process and finally have all of our paperwork in and our home study done. So after this week we should be on the waiting list.
Change 2: Yesterday I traded in my Mazda CX-7 for a Subaru Legacy. Now the reason for this change was caused by Change 3.
Change 3: I am switching companies/jobs. More on this change below.
After a lot of anxiety and stress I have decided to leave VacationRoost and join the team at Super Top Secret. The change was a purely selfish one. I have really enjoyed VR and can with out a doubt say this is one of the best teams and one of the best bosses I have worked with. Which made the decision to join STS all the harder. But ever since my time at Humaniz Interactive, I have been wanting to get back into the "agency" world. I know quite a few people who probably think I am nuts, but I enjoy the creativeness and the craziness that go along with it.
I am going to really miss working with the team at VacationRoost, for me that seems to always be the hardest part. Thankfully Facebook, Twitter and Google+ has made it easier to stay in touch.
The Greatest Rock Band Of All Time
As I sit here with my ears ringing from the U2 concert last night. I have to ponder the statement Staci has made a hundred times, U2 is The Greatest Rock Band of all time. For some reason, I just can't get behind it. Does U2 put on one of the best concerts, check. Have they stayed relevant for a couple decades, yes (3 decades so far). Are they In the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, check. This point is debatable as a requirement to be considered TGRBOAT, but Staci swears by it. Do they stand for good causes and are good role models, check.
I have agreed that U2 is one of the Greatest Rock Band's Of All Time and the Greatest Role Model Rock Band Of All Time, but I'm not quite ready to crown them The Greatest Rock Band Of All Time. The one weak spot in my argument against it, I currently don't have a suggestion as to who is the TGRBOAT.
So what do you think? Are they TGRBOAT, if not who?
*TGRBOAT = The Greatest Rock Band Of All Time
Top 25 Song Challenge
As people have probably gathered by now, I have a music obsession. I'm always listening to variety of music. From punk rock to singer songwriter to folk. Now I work with a guy (Ryan) who has 25 solid songs for all occasions. Which means his playlist of 25 songs is the same for working out, road tripping, setting the mood or any other situation that comes up. Personally I have a hard time choosing 25 artists that I like to listen to. I have 5 different playlists for snowboarding, I make new ones for road trips, and then I have albums I like to listen to shuffle when I am in different moods.
I have decided to try and put together a 25 list and try to listen to that top 25 list for a couple days straight. I don't think I will be able to last that long, but it's worth a try. I'm curious if other people believe in the 1 playlist to rule them all mentality and I would love to see other peoples top 25 list. This whole exercise reminds me of an episode from The Office.
Quote from The Office episode Fire
Meredith: Legends of the Fall, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Legally Blond, Bridges of Madison County…
Pam: Legends of the Fall?
Jim: Wow. Bridges of Madison County, Legally Blond, these movies are just… .
Pam: Well, I kind of liked Legal…
Jim: Wait, wait, wait. Pam. No. Do you understand? The… the game is Desert Island Movies, not guilty pleasure movies. Desert Island Movies are the movies you're going to watch for the rest of your life! Forever! Unforgivable.
Pam: I take it back.
Jim: Unforgivable.
Pam: I take it back!
Jim: Good.

RSL Hero
Last nights game was legen…(wait for it)….dary. It started off with the announcement and introduction of the RSL Hero, who just happened to be none other than Nick Moore. For him being recognized like that was a tough pill to swallow. He doesn't feel like he deserves the honor because he hasn't "done anything yet." I think everyone who serves this country deserves to be honored as a hero, and even though Nick doesn't feel like one yet, he can think of himself as a representative for all the other hero's.
After Nick's big moment the night just kept rolling. RSL scored 2 goals in the first 10 min and then continued on to win 4-1. It was a perfect send off game for Nick. I'm really glad that Angie arranged for him to be there and to be honored, he deserved it. Even Jimmer came out to see Nick get honored :). Nick got to meet Jimmer after his introduction and here is the exchange that happened. Jimmer "I appreciate what you do for our country", Nick "I appreciate the way you shoot." Classic Nick.
Online sharing
I had an interesting conversation today about people and the issues Facebook creates. I'm not talking about reconnecting with your long lost 5th grade love and rekindling the perfect relationship you once had. I'm talking about the ideal us that we put up online. We all do it. We take the best parts of our life and we share them online. Small snippets of what appears to be a perfect life, shared for the world to see. We never share the bad parts of our lives, the imperfect parts, the parts that everyone experiences. The problem this creates is a world of people feeling inferior. "Oh look Jack & Jill just went to Disneyland", "Oh look Jack just bought a new [expensive] car". This isn't something new that people have to deal with, but now we get bombarded with people's status updates at every turn. I don't think we need to stop, I just think we need to be better about remembering that we only see the good parts of people's lives. We never know that super housewife sucks at crafts or that the super put together couple can't really stand each other or that the guy always going on vacation is so far in debt that he will have to file for bankruptcy. Someone is always going to have something you wish you had and someone is always going to be better than you at something. You just have to be happy with the talent and the life you have.

G. Love – [2011] Fixin' To Die
Yes this album was just released today. I usually don't put up an album the day it comes out because I like to give it a couple of listens. But it's G. Love and this album is awesome. It's somewhat of a cover album of blues tunes as well as some original tracks. Produced by The Avett Brothers (another favorite), it gets back to more of the original G. Love sound. Great cover of Paul Simon's "50 Ways To Leave a Lover" http://www.covermesongs.com/2011/02/g-love-lists-50-ways-to-leave-your-lover-with-the-avett-brothers-cover-me-premiere.html
Album Of The Week
Crazy January
What a crazy couple of weeks. My birthday went well and I have come to terms with being in my 30s. Work / side work was crazy busy in preparation for Whistler week and every week since Whistler week has been crazy busy. Let's take a quick look back at Whistler week.
The week prior to us leaving for Whistler Dean realized that his passport was expired (oops). He just on the passport website and low and behold, expediting a passport for $260 will get it back to you in 3-5 days. So Dean paid his money, filled out his paperwork and submitted it. Come Friday he decides to call and check the status of his application. Guess what, the website is incorrect, it takes 2-5 weeks. At this point Dean entered oh sh*t mode. A barrage of emails went around the group, and we collectively decided that we would take the chance of getting stopped and the border and see what happens.
Thanks to my work, I got hooked up with a 5 day free ski pass and all I had to do in exchange was video the trip.
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3 (Dean finds out his passport is in Utah)
Day 4
Day 5
Day 6
Peak 2 Creek (One continuous video showing the longest run at Whister)
So the good news is, Dean got his passport Thursday night, no one was injured, and we made it home safely.
Turning 31
It's weird, but my impending 31st birthday is shaping up to be the toughest for me. Not midlife crisis tough or lose sleep tough, but its been on my mind since the holidays came to a close. When I turned 30, I could say "Ya, I just turned 30″. But now, I am officially in my thirties. I can still remember my dad being in his thirties. On top of that my small bucket list of things I wanted to accomplish by my thirties goes unfinished. I know I didn't accomplish them a year ago, so why should it matter now. I'm not quite sure but it does.
30s Bucket List
A) Go back and finish college
B) Be a millionaire.
The funny thing about those goals, I still feel like B is more attainable than A. Why? Well take a little trip with me down memory lane.
The year was 1999, I was a fresh faced, doe eyed college student. Towards the end of my 2nd semester I get a job at a .com. Talk2 Technologies. Employee number 12. For you youngsters out there who don't remember the .com era everyone was going to be a millionaire. Companies were selling for tens of millions of dollars and they didn't even have a product. So with that being said I was immediately nick named "The Youngest Millionaire". Like some of the movies I have seen lately, you can all figure out how this story ends. 2002 third wave of layoffs, I got the pink slip. 6 months later the company was no more. That nick name and experience set the bar for me, and at a super high mark.
Going back to college at this point, doesn't really have any upside or the upside it does have doesn't cancel out the negatives for me. On top of that most of the time experience trumps a degree any day.
I guess I should start my bucket list to complete by the time I am 40.
a) Be a multi-millionaire
b) Have a vacation home in St. Thomas
c) Become the man and stop working for him
Totally doable goals by the time I am 40. I probably should just say by the time I am 32.
That time of year
With it being the time of year that it is, I find myself reflecting on 2010. With putting my lists together of the highlights and lowlights, I found that a good portion of my lowlights were followed by highlights. ie Losing my job….getting a new one I like even better.
First off I want to thank my many friends and family for their friendship. I will stand by the statement that I have some of the best friends.
- Turned 30
- Went to Hawaii
- Went to San Antonio to visit Nick
- Got a cool new job
- Had the busiest year for side work
- Got a new car
- Bought a season pass to Snowbird
- Didn't go to Whistler
- Lost my job at Move
- Attempts 2 and 3 were unsuccessful
- Mazda 3 engine died
- Watching Real get knocked out in the playoffs
Here's to hoping that 2011 is as good if not better that 2010. Here's also to hoping that 2011 is the year.

NEW YORK The United States Supreme Court without comment declined to hear a challenge to the government's so-called "don't ask, don't tell" ban on lesbians and gay men in the military, leaving open the question as to whether the law will survive constitutional scrutiny.
The American Civil Liberties Union and Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund said that the order does not reflect the Justices' thinking on the issue, but will open the door for other cases to reach the Supreme Court.
Lambda Legal Director Beatrice Dohrn, said "This is a sad day for Paul Thomasson, whose discharge from the Navy was unjust and unconstitutional. But, the military should feel no relief it's anti-gay policy is going to fall when its entire scheme of unfair rules for gay people comes before the court."
Matthew Coles, director of the Lesbian and Gay Rights Project of the ACLU, said, "The Court's failure to take this case changes nothing for the fight against don't ask don't tell.' It is a tragedy for Lt. PaulThomasson, an able officer whose career is now over. He deserves better."
Both groups said that other cases with more complete challenges of the ban will continue to move up the courts.
"The Court's failure to hear the case in no way signals approval of the policy or of the lower court decision," said Coles. "This was the first case challenging the new law to reach the Court. It is not at all unusual for the Court to wait to hear the views of lower courts before it acts."
Dohrn added, "The heart of the military's policy is rotten, well beyond the speech restrictions challenged in the Thomasson case. Other challenges, including the case by the ACLU and Lambda now pending on behalf of six active service members, Able v. USA, will show that the government cannot single out gay people for harsh rules and punishments."
The Supreme Court acted on an appeal of a Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling this April, which upheld the discharge of former Navy Lt. Paul Thomasson in a 9-to-4 vote with three separate majority opinions. Thomasson was discharged in June 1995 under the Clinton Administration's policy when he announced in a letter to commanding officers that "I am gay."
The Fourth Circuit decision dealt solely with the portion of the law barring statements by gay service members that may reveal their sexual orientation. The case did not grapple with the portions of the law that prohibit gay people from engaging in behaviors allowed non-gay service members. Lambda and the ACLU had filed a friend-of-the-court brief in that case.
The ACLU and Lambda are co-counsel in the Able case, which the Second Circuit Court of Appeals sent back to a district court to examine the constitutionality of all portions of the ban. Final briefs in the case are due Friday to Judge Eugene Nickerson of the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, N.Y., where arguments are likely to be heard in early November.
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in July that the government must defend the constitutionality of the conduct portion of the ban, which amounts to a celibacy requirement applied only to lesbian and gay service members.
"Don't ask, don't tell" is a misnomer," added Dohrn. "This law is about a lot more than not telling.' It's about requiring complete celibacy for lesbian and gay service members when no such rule applies to others."

Lore: Sona has no memory of her true parents. As an infant, she was found abandoned on the doorstep of an Ionian adoption house, nestled atop an ancient instrument in an exquisite case of unknown origins. She was an unusually well-behaved child, always quiet and content. Her caretakers were sure she would find a home quickly, but it soon became apparent that what they mistook for uncommon geniality was actually an inability to speak or to produce any sound whatsoever. Sona remained at the adoption house until her teens, watching in hopeless silence as prospective adopters passed her by. During this time, the caretakers sold her unusual instrument to anxious collectors, hoping to build her a trust. For a myriad of bizarre and unexpected reasons, however, it would be returned, or simply appear again outside the house. When a wealthy Demacian woman named Lestara Buvelle learned of the instrument, she immediately embarked to Ionia. When the caretakers showcased the instrument for her, she rose wordlessly and explored the house, stopping outside Sonas room. Without hesitation, Lestara adopted her and left a generous donation for the instrument. With Lestaras guidance, Sona discovered a deep connection with the instrument which Lestara called an etwahl. In her hands, it played tones which stilled or quivered the hearts of those around her. Within months, she was headlining with the mysterious etwahl for sold-out audiences. She played as though plucking heartstrings, effortlessly manipulating the emotions of her listeners - all without a single written note. In secret, she discovered a potent and deadly use for her etwahl, using its vibrations to slice objects from a distance. She honed this discipline in private, mastering her gift. When she felt prepared, she went to the only place which could offer her a fitting recital: the League of Legends. Her melody moves the soul, her silence sunders the body. -Jericho Swain, after attending her concert Abilities: Hymn of Valor: Sona plays the Hymn of Valor, granting nearby allied champions bonus Damage and Ability Power. Additionally, casting this ability sends out bolts of sound, dealing magic damage to the nearest two enemy champions or monsters. Aria of Perseverance: Sona plays the Aria of Perseverance, granting nearby allied champions bonus Armor and Magic Resist. Additionally, casting this ability sends out healing melodies, healing Sona and a nearby wounded ally. Song of Celerity: Sona plays the Song of Celerity, granting nearby allied champions bonus Movement Speed. Additionally, casting this ability energizes nearby allies with a burst of speed.

Additionally, Sona's Auras persist for 3 seconds after deactivating and set off a 2 second global cooldown.
Ah, boobs. I hope with her ultimate, you can actually hear her playing the crescendo
Awesome! Thank you for the new content RIOT. Wow... nice closing reference on her lore; just noticed.

Whew...boobs are bigger, good I was worried
You can fart! You can fart! Everybody look at your butt... fart! It's the Safety Fart, it's the Safety Fart! (I had to follow up to my comment on the sneak peak). Edit: fine, nobody wants to read about farting while fapping over Sona. Or y'all hate Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
A bard. Let's hope this isn't like a D&D bard. Then that would be saddening. Don't make her useless! "As if killing the bard impresses us."
