HIV mutates again: African mountain gorilla simian virus
By Merab Kambamu Kiremire
Nature Medicine's news that the infamous Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has once against mutated in Africa is indeed bad news for our Continent. You will recall that no too long ago, a team of African prominent persons, comprising mainly of the Continent's retired presidents and/or vice presidents gave us hope when they decided to promote an HIV-free generation. Hardly have they gone to work that international researchers are now informing us that the horror disease has once again decided to move a step ahead of all our efforts to counter it. So apparently, early this month, a new strain of the HI Virus was detected in a 62-year-old Cameroon woman who tested HIV positive in a hospital in Paris where she moved some five years ago in 2004.
The scientists from France's University of Rouen led by the famous HIV/AIDS Researcher, Professor Jean-Christophe Plantier who discovered the HIV strain in this rather elderly woman believe that unlike the three previously known HIV strains which are found in chimpanzees, the new simian virus is usually found in mountain gorillas. So they attempted to figure out whether the woman had had some form of interaction with gorillas either through physical contact or through consuming gorilla (bush) meat, to which the old lady declined.
This discovery which apparently has been confirmed by other renowned HIV/AIDS scientists such the French Heal Watch Institute as well as the French National Agency for Research on AIDS and Viral Hepatitis is particularly worrying considering earlier reports that mountain gorillas in the Virunga Mountains on the Ugandan, Rwandese and Congolese borders have been dying from a mysterious disease. It is aggravated by Sub Saharan African eating habits which are constantly recording increased dependence on all sorts of previously prohibited foods including bush meat commonly referred to as 'game delicacies'. While one does not want to point a finger in any one particular direction, the fact that the scientists who discovered the new (fourth) strain of HIV found it necessary to explore the possibility that the gorilla-carried simian virus could have been transmitted to its human victim through food points to such a possibility.
So is there a possibility that the simian virus could indeed be transmitted to human cells through eating? If so, what does this mean, especially considering the fact that in these modern times of our 'game meat' has become a delicacy and symbol of social status? Apart from Africa's mineral wealth and agricultural wealth, the Continent's game wealth has always attracted all and sundry since its infamous scramble in Berlin at the twilight of the 18th century. During those days, and indeed many decades that followed, the bulk majority of Africans coexisted with their wild life without necessarily depending on them for food. Today, the African hospitality industry of 5 star hotels, game lodges and grand restaurants boost nothing but exotic game dishes of all sorts from crocodiles, to ostrich and buffalo.
And yet, it is mainly Sub Saharan Africa that equally constantly displays new flues and viruses that disseminate our people left right and centre. What do we make of this situation especially that our existing research institutions are by far not so advanced as to detect these new infections and diseases fast enough to save our people? How long, for instance, would it have taken us to discover that we have a new HIV strain in our midst if the Cameroon woman had not been in France? How many thousands of Africans will have died from the Gorilla simian virus before we know its exact extent, magnitude and impact? Professor Plantier and his team have already informed us that the current widespread of this fourth HIV strain is yet to be determined.
And what happens when an HIV/AIDS patient contract the new strain?

In terms of brand equity, Walgreens leads the field among retail pharmacy operators, including drug store chains and mass merchants, according to a survey by Harris Interactive.
Retail News Breaks Archives
NEW YORK – In terms of brand equity, Walgreens leads the field among retail pharmacy operators, including drug store chains and mass merchants, according to a survey by Harris Interactive.
The market researcher said Monday that its 2012 Harris Poll EquiTrend study, which analyzed responses from 38,500 consumers on key measures of brand health across industries, found that U.S. consumers are more likely to make pharmacy purchases at traditional drug stores like Walgreens, CVS/pharmacy and Rite Aid than at the pharmacy departments of mass merchants such as Walmart, Target, Costco and Kmart.
In this year's EquiTrend poll, Walgreens took the top spot as the study's first-ever Drugstore Brand of the Year, with CVS and Rite Aid finishing second and third, respectively, in this new category for 2012, Harris Interactive said. Top scores for familiarity and purchase consideration lifted Walgreens to the top, the researcher noted.
Walgreens tallied an Equity Score of 69.92 in the study's drug store category, besting CVS/pharmacy (67.40) and Rite Aid (62.49). Harris Interactive said the drug store category average score was 60.54, and the other pharmacy brands in the study — Costco Pharmacy, Kmart Pharmacy, Target Pharmacy and Walmart Pharmacy — ranked below the average.
On the mass retailing side, Target came in first as the Value Retail Brand of the Year with an Equity Score of 71.30, well above No. 2 Walmart (66.77) and the category average of 62.04. Other mass retail brands in the study, with scores falling short of the category average, included Dollar General, Family Dollar, Kmart, Marshalls and T.J. Maxx.
Other retail store categories in the study included convenience stores (Speedway came in No. 1), department stores (Kohl's No. 1), luxury department stores (Nordstrom No. 1) and gasoline retailers (Costco No. 1).
An annual tracking study, the Harris Poll EquiTrend measures and compares the brand health for more than 1,500 brands in over 50 categories. It evaluates brand engagement in such areas as brand equity (familiarity, quality and purchase consideration), connection to consumer (emotion, trust and performance), and buzz (generating conversation among consumers online, in social media and offline).

today i woke up, in love,
last night i fell asleep thinking about how in love i am,
and tomorrow i probalby will still be in love... but jesus christ it hurts like helll,
"my heart is like an open highway"- with a couple of potholes and the odd hump here and there,
i'm not mentally stable, my life outseide of her is a mess,
fuck so much could go wrong-
i swear to god if i lose her... i'll lose me,
Don't leave my body begging like this…
I can still hear you in my lips
With those Thunderous new secrets pouring out into my mouth
Letting them slide slowly down my tongue
And I can still feel their every motion until they
Land smoothly on my heart as if it were a cushion,
I can still feel you in my mind
Flashes of you laughing, twisting, turning,
Tugging me closer, race and vault from end to end-
Don't tell me you aren't bothered,
Don't stay so silent when i know
you have a mountain of conversations
calculated in your little head,
Don't pretend i didn't hurt your little heart,
Don't pretend to believe my little lies
Don't pretend you're calm
Don't tell me you're okay:
when deep down you're screaming..at me
..at him
..at yourself.
my friend just found out that i was seeing her man behind her back...
I really luv it when
I luv it when we make mistakes
Because once again
It gives me a reason to complain
I luv the battle lines
Battle lines we draw and cross in the mud
I luv it when we fight
Standin in the verge
Of breakin up or makin up
What would I do if we were perfect?
Where would I go for disappointment?
Love without Pain
Would leave me wonderin
Why I stay
I think of savin myself
those little moments stuck in the back of my mind...
hopes, dreams... a future.
now I stuff them hurriedly in an ugly brown suitcase
randomly, painfully holding my breath with my eyes firmly shut-
smothering the tears.
mumbling the words.
blocking the nose- numbing all senses.
but the clock makes every second resonate in my ear,
i think of prayers and unanswered pleas begged in sheer desperation that made me the atheist i am now...
sheer ingenuity and bravado= definite quitessential prerequisites for SATs..
damn, just took my mock SAT examinations and it all became clear to me by this afternoon that though my maths skills arent as half past dead as i thought they were... english clearly is a second language.
what the hell does ignominious mean??
whats a lackidia... ah i forgot the rest of that word... is that english??
i fell in love with a boy once and his name was Kc. ( short for kundai chengetai.. yeah kc was a lot easier for A LOT of people. ;))
yeah and he moved away to england... and well
you ever get that " i shoulda said.. could have said... " feeling??
it came real strong for me just today... oh well.
the following is a conversation i had on msn ( just a few hours ago) with my ex boyfriend from like... a year and a half ago...
I have arrived at the very depressing conclusion that most girls, if not all, demand faithfulness- girls want monogamy.
All I ever ask for in a relationship (the very rare times that I do have them)is sincerity, fun and first-class sex, but nooo the girls I'm with always have an extensive list of demands and stipulations longer than that damn lord of the rings book. I can't give her the world even though I promise it, because I can give her everything she needs, touch her in every way that pleases her, satisfy her as much as she can handle, tell her everything she wants to hear, buy her anything that she desires, talk to her, be her best friend, take her wherever she wants to go, fuck I'd even give her my keys, let her do as she wishes, but I cannot give her the world because then he will have everything… but me. ( not meaning to sound cocky but- that's just an incomplete world- after all one cannot work at a relationship by oneself now can they.)
ndini ani? ( native subsahran language-shona- meaning: who am i.)
Who am i.
I am the girl that spent her whole month long holiday NOT studying, dam I don't even think I still remember how to read…
I am the girl that keep hittin on her best friend's man tonight and made out with him 'til it got tooooo hot the only thing stopping us was the lack of a rubber… with no remorse, I might add.
Sway with wind
Like a salsa
In the sun
Single blossom
No love nearby
Never to cry
About loneliness
Softly swaying still
As clouds quickly swell
Full of tears for all
The blossom closes
How do I feel?
I feel like I'm lacking something in my life. I feel like I need inspiration.
I need to be moved, to be motivated.
I need to fall in love.
Just to freefall into a deep dark pit of the unknown and not give a sh coz I'm so madly in love.
I want to be elevated.
I want to make art- make love so good its gotta classify as art. Make love so perfectly, its like a dramatic performance of shakesperean verse…
a picture is worth a thousand words?
draw me one that screams "i love you"
three hundred and thirty three and a third times.
one can live a life without love,- dare i call it life
, for what is life without passion?
'Tis but a shadow of a shadow
of a shadow
of an empty cloud...
that collapses into rain-
just hollow drops of dreams lost and shattered
now fall from your pretty eyes-
what a waste.
The only normal thing to be is to be different.
I am so different, you call me weird, off-beat, insane- but I'm just expressing myself, as I am. I am just asking you to take me as I am. And if you think that's weird then, I'm not the one with the problem but instead you are the one with the problem.
I'm not asking you to change, or to adjust your mind and perception in order to accommodate for my lunacy- which I don't think is lunacy- no.
Inspire me with dreams so wholesome and good
that I may change humanity.
Take me on a trip around the world,
and with no money at all,
make me feel once more as you did before,
like royalty,
crowned with your baseball cap,
enrobed in your zip-up jacket.
Remove my glasses and give me sight,
let me see you so close to me
and in a whisper,
give me knowledge of everything about you-

Happy Back to School Day! For many parents across the country, it's the beginning of a brand new school year. It's time to start new habits, and one of the best things that you can do to help your children get the day off to a good start is to serve a healthy breakfast. I don't know about you, but when I mention healthy breakfast to my kids, they often think of sticks and twigs and other unappetizing options so I have to get creative with my before school meals.
Instead of a bowl of cold cereal, which often won't fuel your child until the end of first bell, make one of these amazing choices, high in protein and flavor.
The National Peanut Board has launched a free iPhone app, called Peanuts: Energy for the Good Life. It features recipes, facts and even a little tool to help you curb snack cravings. While peanuts are high in calories, they contain more protein than any other nut, and contain many other nutrients. According the to the board, 90 percent of Americans have a jar of peanut butter in their homes.
Naturally, the app discusses the health benefits of peanuts and has over 30 dietitian recommended recipes featuring the legume. I'm particularly excited to try the masala slaw, with ginger, cilantro, cabbage and, of course, peanuts. Some of the desserts look pretty high-calorie, although delicious–maybe not so diet friendly. But the app isn't just about discovering new ways to eat peanuts. It also has a meditation feature, guided by the relaxing voice of Stephan Bodian. Bodian practiced as a Zen Buddhist monk for ten years and is the author of Meditation for Dummies. Finally, the app has a note tool that you can set to remind you take a break or even have a healthy snack.

I was recently invited to attend the launch of the Smart Choices food labeling system. Smart Choices is a front of packaging nutritional food label system developed by an alliance of U.S. food manufacturers and retailers. Products must meet specific guidelines to be included. The program is funded by the participating food companies – basically, a company pays for the label. Smart Choices is "designed to promote public health by helping shoppers make smarter food and beverage choices," says the program's press statements.
The basic premise couldn't be more simple. Qualifying foods are stamped with a green check mark, which is designed to help a shopper make the healthiest choice within a particular category. (All fresh fruits and vegetables are automatically included – but they don't get a green check mark because they are grown on a farm and not represented by a company.) If you are buying peanut butter, the green check mark container might contain the best choice in terms of health.

Illinois ranked third worst-run state in nation
by WILY/WRXX News Staff • November 25, 2013 • News
Illinois was ranked the third worst-run state in the country, according to an annual survey by 24/7 wall street.
Illinois' low-credit rating and high level of unemployment were cited as reasons for its low placement on the list. In addition, Illinois has the 11th highest debt per capita ($5,041), 9th largest budget deficit (18.5 percent) and 10th highest unemployment rate (8.9 percent).
Median household income and percent below poverty line fared slightly better, standing at $55,137 and 14.7 percent, respectively.
In addition, Illinois has the worst credit rating in the country, something Moody's attributes to the state's underfunded pension and weak fiscal practices, such as bill payment delays.
The state also faced high foreclosure and unemployment rates in 2012, which were both among the worst in the country.
North Dakota and Wyoming were the best run states in the country, with surveyors citing their high level of economic output and relatively low unemployment and poverty rates as reasons for their success.
California was listed as the worst-run state due to a nearly $24 billion budget shortfall, second worst-credit rating (after Illinois) and lack of educational attainment, health coverage and high unemployment rates.
New Mexico came in second, and surveyors said only its relatively-good credit rating prevented it from being the worst –run state. The state was ranked among the 10 worst nationwide for violent crime, high school graduation rates among adults and health insurance coverage.

Blogger Accuses Asus of Infringing GPL with Eee PC
Cliff Biffle, a US blogger, accuses Asus of infringements against the GPL with the software on ist Eee PC.
Writing on the subject of the recent presentation of the Asus mini-notebook, "Eee PC", in his blog, Biffle claims that modifications to the Open Source components infringe on the GPL. Biffle says that he has downloaded 1.8GB of source code from both the US and the Taiwanese sites and checked the code. He discovered that the code does not include all sources. Nor does the source code contain modifications by the PC vendor, and the required documentation was also missing.
In his test report Biffle describes what he discovered about the purported source code the download. He writes that the Zip archive includes just a couple of Debian installation packages, some of which were older versions than those supplied with the device, along with the kernel headers. He goes on to write that Asus has made major changes to the "asus_acpi" kernel modul for kernel 126.96.36.199, but without publishing, or disclosing and documenting the changes. In Biffle's opinion the vendor has taken steps to remove details of the modifications and the new functionality offered by the module. The modified modules now no longer contain typical information such as the module name, version and authoring information, as these details have simply been removed.
The Madwifi for the Atheros WiFi chip has also been modified says Biffle. However, there is no need to publish these changes as the Madwifi is dual licensed under the GPL and the BSD license, which means that Asus can keep the changes to itself.
It also looks like Asus is using the multipurpose Busybox binary in the Initramfs system image but without keeping to GPL rules. The developers of Busybox are currently working with the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) to defend their rights in a court of law, if needed.
The blog author writes that he and other people have contacted Asus but without receiving a response. Biffle hopes that Asus will simply say "Oops!", admit its error, and update the Zip archive.

Buck, from Form-A-Funnel, writes about his product, which actually looks pretty great from the video:
"Form-A-Funnel" is a clever new invention that's utterly simple, yet truly useful. It's a formable, flexible shape that can be made into various types of funnels, drains, channels, or other shapes. It firmly holds its shape, and holds onto surrounding structures, which makes it great for working on machinery of all kinds. Unlike conventional funnels, it's easy to clean and stores almost anywhere. It has hundreds of other uses, too, many of which can be seen on the manufacturer's website.
The coolest thing to me is how you can squeeze it around the outlets of ports coming out the sides of engines and it'll hold itself in place. Not revolutionary, but potentially useful at $25. I'd love to hear from someone who has one of these in their garage whether it's as handy as it appears to be or is all hype.

Internationally, carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is being proposed as a key mitigation strategy for fossil fuel based activities.
Like many new and emerging technologies, CCS remains relatively unknown with some perceived risks.
CSIRO has been performing research into the public perceptions towards CCS.
In earlier research, CSIRO identified a range of concerns and benefits that are often associated with discussion of CCS. This is shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1: Public concerns and benefits in relation to CCS. Ashworth P, Boughen N, Mayhew M, Millar F. 2009. From research to action: Now we have to move on CCS communication. International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control. 4: 426-433.
Research has determined a number of factors that are important when communicating CCS, these include:
CSIRO, on behalf of the Global CCS Institute, hosted a one-day international conference in Paris, France, focusing on the communication of CCS.
International representatives from industry, government, non-government organisations, researchers, and communication practitioners came together to participate in an interactive day specifically tailored to summarise the current global position on communicating for CCS technologies.
CSIRO has conducted social science research, through the Energy Transformed Flagship, across major Australian cities to understand public perceptions towards climate change science and low emission energy technologies. Discussion of CCS was included in these workshops.
These types of iniatives are helping the CSIRO with the challenge of understanding public perceptions of CCS and other low emission technologies and how to communicate the risks and benefits of the technologies.

Why you should take sports concussions seriously
Concussions are serious injuries that should be treated by healthcare providers who are experienced with their management. Sports Medicine physicians diagnose and treat concussions with the goal of promoting a healthy recovery and returning athletes to sports and kids to school. Additionally, we work with parents, athletes, coaches, and other providers to identify the signs and symptoms of a concussion and help to proactively manage the effects.
What is a concussion?
A concussion, also referred to as a mild traumatic brain injury, is an injury to the brain caused by a blow to the head or from a whiplash effect due to a hit to the body. Concussions change the way the brain works and how a person thinks, acts, and feels. Most people do not lose consciousness. Even a "ding" or "bell ringer" can be serious.
What are the symptoms of a concussion?
Symptoms fall into four categories: physical, cognitive or thinking abilities, mood and behavior, and sleep. A person may have many symptoms or only a couple of symptoms. If a person reports one or more symptoms of concussion or if another person notices the symptoms, keep the person out of play and seek medical attention.
The symptoms of a concussion that fall into each category include:

Marcia Ball's Rounder debut is a soulful r&b excursion in the tradition of Irma Thomas and Professor Longhair, matching her originals with classics like "I'd Rather Go Blind" and "Jailbird." Fellow Texan Stevie Ray Vaughan puts in a guest appearance on the title cut.
On her third Rounder album, "long, tall" Marcia Ball delivers a strong dose of Texas boogie-woogie piano and Louisiana soul, backed by a fine cast of Austin musicians. The album features a number of Ball's original songs, including the good-time groove of "Mama's Cooking" and several deep ballads.
Hot Tamale Baby
Recorded in New Orleans, Marcia Ball's 1986 release balances driving soul arrangements with songs like the recent Mardi Gras classic, "That's Enough of That Stuff" and the title song, originally performed by Clifton Chenier.
Blue House
This was Marcia Ball's first release in five years. Her raucous, down-home piano playing and singing blend the sounds of the Texas roadhouse and Louisiana juke joint into something sweet and soulful. Originals plus Joe Ely's classic "I Keep My Fingernails Long (So They Click When I Play the Piano"), a song that could have […]

Anthony Mystery Award Introduces Graphic Novel Category
- Posted by Johanna on May 19, 2011 at 8:58 pm
- Category: Graphic Novel News
The Anthony Awards, named for Anthony Boucher, one of the founders of the Mystery Writers of America, are given for excellence in crime fiction at the Bouchercon World Mystery Convention. This year, they have introduced a graphic novel category, and the nominees are:
- Scalped Volume 6: The Gnawing by Jason Aaron and Jock (Vertigo)
- Richard Stark's Parker Volume 2: The Outfit by Darwyn Cooke (IDW)
- Tumor by Joshua Hale Fialkov and Noel Tuazon (Archaia)
- A Sickness in the Family by Denise Mina and Antonio Fuso (Vertigo)
- Beasts of Burden by Jill Thompson and Evan Dorkin (Dark Horse)
- The Chill by Jason Starr and Mick Bertilorenzi (Vertigo)
(Note: I've added in the artists' names for the Vertigo titles, which are strangely listed only by writer on the official site.) That's a pretty good lineup. My personal picks would be the Parker book (although I've heard the first is better), just for the craft, or Beasts of Burden, which I thought transcended its genre instead of just being a great example of it.

Beautiful beachfront with lovely pool area and lots of sun beds. Good restaurants, especially the Brazilian one. Tidy room, with comfortable beds and nice bathroom.
Breakfast was not as good as I would expect from a resort like this. Check out was a bit slow.
Friendly staff, nice crowd, salt water pool
Poor breakfast buffet. No free internet
Everything was great
The place was very nice also the view was amazing
Nothing much but we ask for the room service for something it come late to us
Big rooms, very good food
Timings for pool, beach and kids club only till sun down. Which is a pretty short because there is nothing else to do at the resort and with kids in tow nothing to keep them occupied either.
Helpful Staff
It's trashed. It's obvious they are cutting corners.
Here's why:

Payroll Tax
Payroll Tax Forms
Payroll Tax FAQ
Information for Employers
The Payroll Tax Act, 1993 came into effect July 1, 1993. Unlike other jurisdictions that impose a payroll tax on employers, the NWT Payroll Tax is levied on employees. The Payroll Tax applies to all employees who work, perform duties, or provide services in the NWT, regardless of the province or territory of residence of the employee or employer or the employee's age.
Effective January 1, 2005 the Payroll Tax rate increased from 1 per cent to 2 per cent of gross NWT remuneration.
If an employee normally works in the NWT (ie. more than 50% of the time), payroll tax is calculated on all earnings.
Currently only Nunavut levies a payroll tax similar to that of the GNWT. The Nunavut government has a separate registration process.
Examples of taxable items:
- Salaries and wages, bonuses, commissions and honoraria
- Vacation travel assistance
- Directors' and management fees
- Employee stock options
- Contributions by employers to registered retirement savings plans (RRSP)
- Retiring allowances or severance pay
Examples of non-taxable items:
- Income from pensions or superannuation
- Reimbursement to employees of actual expenses paid on behalf of the employer
- Employer contributions to registered pension funds or plans (RPF or RPP), group sickness or accident plans, and employee benefit plans
- Value of clergy residences
- Income received by individuals who belong to a religious order, and who have taken a vow of perpetual poverty. Employers must deduct the NWT Payroll Tax, at source, and remit to the GNWT according to a schedule provided at the time of registration.
Registrations and returns
Every employer must register with the GNWT, Department of Finance within 21 days of their first payroll cycle for work or services performed in the NWT. Remittance frequency is based upon the estimated annual gross remuneration paid to employees in the NWT. Forms will be sent to registered employers approximately one month prior to the due date, or may be requested at any time from the Department of Finance.Employers must file an Annual Return each calendar year by February 28th. Forms will be sent to registered employers approximately two months prior to the due date, or may be requested at any time from the Department of Finance.
Annual Returns must be filed even if companies did not have employees working in the NWT during the year (Nil Return).

Flashback episodes and first-time episodes (as in, when two characters finally give in to mounting tension and have sex for the first time, making 'shippers the world over rejoice) are not exactly virgin territory for sitcoms. While New Girl has done the flashback thing time and time again (often with mixed results), they most certainly haven't had Nick and Jess do it before.
That's right, it finally happened: after weeks and weeks of agonizing teasing, flirting, and longing glaces on confusing first dates, Nick and Jess had sex. And much like any first time, expectations were sky high and left you with feelings of confusion, exhilaration, and — let's be honest with ourselves — a little bit of concerned regret. Was it too soon? But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's slow down and start from the beginning, baby.
The aptly titled "Virgins" found the gang hanging out where they spend far too much time for an attractive group of early thirty-somethings: the bathroom. Jess was helping Cece shave her underarms (I don't know if this is like the pillow fight urban legend, but this does not happen), Winston was talking about getting the chance to hook up with Daisy again (the guy needs something to do on the show, why not have it be a beautiful woman), and Nick was creeping in the stall listening in (like he apparently does more than anyone had known).
After Jess got a text from some schmo named Teddy who wanted to meet her for drinks, Nick went into a tailspin of jealousy after she revealed the mystery man was actually the one who took her flower. ("He stole a flower from you and you wanna have drinks from you.... Oh, from your wonderful secret garden." Aw, Nick). When Cece butted in and claimed that Jess had the most embarrassing story about losing one's virginity, well, the rest of the gang had to chime in with their own tales of first-time fornication.
While Jess claimed up and down that hers was not only the most embarrassing, but also had the intrigue of murder, her house mates had far worse stories and even more illegal activities. Here, I'll rank the gang's virginity stories from most humiliating to least based on their tales.
Winston: Oh, good god, poor Winnie. This guy can't catch a break. He's nothing more than filler on the show (though he has had some consistently hilarious one-liners over the past few weeks, including last night's masterfully executed and accurate cry of "Oregon sucks!") and now he's the guy with the worst story about losing the V-card. For years Winston was convinced that he wooed the ladies of the night that Nick's dad Walt Miller (Dennis Farina, back from the dead) brought the boys during a visit to New York City. Well, one lady in particular: Mysteria. Apparently that name wasn't a dead enough giveaway that she was a prostitute, and neither was the fact that she laughed in his face when he asked her what she does for a living. Then again, young Winston legitimately didn't know how Titanic was going to end. Even when Nick honored his father's memory by waiting until he was dead to tell Winston the truth (the flashback of their father-son chat was not only sweet, but imperative to the Nick-Jess story line, but more on that in a bit) the guy just didn't want to believe the truth.
Schmidt: In any other group of friends, Schmidt's story of being 200 pounds overweight and using so much lube that he slipped off his bunk bed and on to his roommate would win, but Schmidt clearly isn't humiliated by the story. I mean, why else would he be trying to replicate the escapade with his college girlfriend, Elizabeth? (Sorry Cece, I'm really pulling for these two to wind up together. Schmidt is most himself around her, because she knew him before he was Schmidt). Still, the sequence was a physical comedy gem, between a tripping-on-shrooms Nick "magnetically stuck" to the wall and a Fat "The Sex Haver" Schmidt trying in vain to get up from the floor covered in lube.
Jess: Nice try, Jessica Day. While your story may have started out with your nerdy prom date stabbing himself in the hand with steak knives because he couldn't get you out of your dress and moved to you trying to lose your virginity in a plastic castle on a playground (with a murdered guy on a bench mere feet away) to a handsome fellow (played by Dylan O'Brien) who couldn't get it up and figured out he was probably gay, it still ended with you losing your virginity to a handsome firefighter named — you guessed it — Teddy. Jess' road to losing her virginity at 22 was paved with sewing and social mishaps, including singing Lisa Loeb's "Stay" far too much, but hers ultimately turned out to be pretty great.
Nick: We didn't get a flashback of Nick's story (we did get a taste of Nerd Nick and Hippie Nick, however, in Winston and Schmidt's stories) he did sweetly reveal to Jess that he lost his to a gal named Allison Daniels on a towel in the woods. He cried and she left her bra on. "It was nice," he reflected. Sounds pretty status quo, but by no means terrible.
Cece: Of course. Of course Cece had the best losing her virginity story. She lost it on prom night...but not to Study Hall Steve or Cool Car Johnny, but Mick Jagger. "Game changer!" as Schmidt exclaimed, only to wrongly later exclaim, "Beatlemania!"
But even though she had the best story, Cece wasn't exempt from the more emotionally draining and exhausting land mine that is the sex life of a grown-up. She still hasn't had sex with her groom-to-be, Schmidt was still trying out all his tricks (namely German sex device The Arch Duke, which requires 16 batteries), and Winston still got a little too turned on by Titanic. We might grow up, but deep down we're all still insecure, nervous teenagers.
I mean, just look at Nick and Jess: two grown-ups clearly attracted to each other who continue to dance around each other's feelings and hope the other will make the first move. It's amazing neither of them have passed each other notes under their doors from across the hall. Sure, technically Nick became a man when he had sex with Allison in those woods so many years ago, but he didn't truly become an adult when he took his father's advice to stop over-thinking and take charge of a moment. Which is exactly what he did when he ran after Jess in the elevator, took her in his arms like a damn man, and carried her to the bedroom. "Let's not think about it," he growled to a clearly into-it Jess. (The girl loves her take-charge men).
I will always love Walking Human Disaster Nick (the guy who doesn't know that tuxedos and suits are different things) but I think I love Sexy Smoldering Nick a little bit more. That guy can stay. Well done, Jake Johnson, you have officially set the bar far too high for reasonable expectations.
Back in the bedroom, the two friends looked at each other and then the bed and then back at each other again, knowing this was the point of no return. While we only saw a post-coitus Nick and Jess blissfully going through a range of emotions from surprise to delight to anxiousness right back to delight, all the episodes leading up to this moment have been arguably sexier and you can pretty much just let your imagination run wild as to how hot their session was.
While we'll have to wait to see how these two deal with things post-hookup (I mean, they could barely handle a kiss or a dinner date without freaking out) from the look of things, they seem pretty damn happy about this inevitable rendezvous. He smiled, she smiled, he laughed, she laughed (and snuck in an adorable "Ruh-roh" for good measure) and the episode faded to black. Keeping in line with the theme of virginity, all this did was leave fans wanting more. What a tease!
Here now are the other best lines and moments from "Virgins":
- "Oh, you need help? Where's your Women's Lib now?!" - Schmidt to Jess
- "Who cares about the theme, what were you wearing?" - A worked-up Nick to Jess, about her prom
- Jess Day in the year 2000: major credit to the New Girl hair and wardrobe team for making the already-youthful Zooey Deschanel actually look like a rosy-cheeked high schooler.
- Nick's wrong, desperate claim that girls don't like guys who play guitar.
- "David Foster Wallace, where is the sex?" - An annoyed Schmidt to Jess.
- Even though College Hippie Nick is as about as lame as College Hippie Ted on HIMYM, I give him the slight edge over Nerdy High School Nick as I too was/still am "a Daver." Plus, he tried to reason with the shroom-induced troll he hallucinated by telling it, "I don't want any trouble; I think you're a remarkable creature."
- "She was a nurse! Her nurse hat was in her purse!" - Winston, still in denial about Mysteria.
- Fat Schmidt unknowingly hitting on Cece of the Past with lines like "Do you like DVDs?" and "Does this bar have cookies?"
- Jess describing her date's erectile dysfunction as a "wind sock on a windless day."
- "Let's not think about it." Yeah, I know I mentioned it already, but it deserves a second mention. And bonus points for the use of the very awesome "Anything Could Happen" by Ellie Goulding. Perfection.
So, what did you think of "Virgins"? Is this the beginning or the end of Nick and Jess, and in turn New Girl? I'd say I can't wait to find out (and I think it's the beginning, as this show is the best comedy on television and will only continue to hold that title), but Taylor Swift appears on the Season 2 finale in two weeks. For now, I'll just bask in this Nick and Jess afterglow.

Sweet potato fries have always been a favorite of mine. I have made more versions than I can shake a stick at, and let me tell you…regardless of the ingredients, it is the technique that has proven the key. I have made this version so many times now, I am very confident sharing it with you.
Crisp on the outside, soft and tender on the inside….these are perfect oven baked sweet potato fry good potatoes were our perfect Paleo carb for enduring energy on high activity days. We like to dip our fries in an almost Paleo dip of my homemade mayo and Sriacha ( a spicy Thai chili sauce)!
It hard to believe such simple ingredients can yield such scrumptious goodies, but they do! Dig in!
Variations: Once you have mastered a basic sweet potato fry, you get to play with seasonings! Some ideas: minced garlic, Cajun Seasoning, Chipotle powder, chili powder, Italian seasoning.
- 4 smallish sweet potatoes (we prefer garnet), 6-8", 2-3" in diameter
- 4 tablespoons olive oil or melted coconut oil (this amount is not an exact science..enough to make sure all your sweet potatoes are coated and glossy but not drowning!!
- Salt to taste
- Optional seasonings
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees and lightly grease 2 cookies sheets, or line with parchment.
- Peel your sweet potatoes, but do not rinse them, you need them dry so the oil adheres.
- Slice your sweet potatoes into french fries: no perfect way to do this, but keep the pieces equal in size and thickness. Fries should be between ½" and ¾" (go ahead and grab a ruler, I promise, no one will know!).
- In a large bowl, toss the fries with the olive oil, and any seasonings if you so choose. I wait to sprinkle salt when the potatoes are on the cookie sheet.
- Spread the fries out in a SINGLE LAYER on a cookie sheet (I always use two, and if I need to, three!) Do not crowd your fries unless you want them mooshy! All fries must keep their hands to their selves!
- Sprinkle the fries with salt.
- Place no more than two cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove cookie sheets and using tongs, flip the fries over, they should be golden on the flipped side. Return the cookie sheets, flip flopping the cookie sheet positions.
- Cook for another 10-15 minutes until the fries are golden and crispy.

Indie Games Tagged with "ludosity"
You've just moved to a unique town that's got one thing on its mind... card games! In this engaging blend of strategic collectible card battling and quirky adventuring, the great Card King is finally accepting battles, but you'll need to find eight legendary cards to even get a chance at him... and build a deck of 180 different cards in the process!
Brash, sassy, and punchy, Ittle Dew and her friend Tippsie want just one thing... adventure, and lots of it! Fortunately the island she's stranded on has that in spades, along with challenging puzzles, humour, and weight-lifting cacti. Ludosity serves up a knee-weakeningly adorable and funny indie action adventure that calls upon classic inspirations like Zelda and The Secret of Mana without ever losing its own style and creativity.

Adults live on mixed bottoms, the older the deeper the occurrence; small individuals are usually seen on bathing beaches (Ref. 9988). Occurs on mud and sand bottom from a few meters down to about 100 m, at sea, estuaries and rarely entering freshwaters (Ref. 59043). Reported as resident intertidal species with homing behavior (Ref. 32612). Feed mainly on thin-shelled mollusks and polychaetes. Batch spawner (Ref. 51846). The most important flatfish for fisheries in Europe. Utilized fresh and frozen; eaten steamed, fried, boiled, microwaved and baked (Ref. 9988). Active at night in the very shallow water while day time is spent buried in the sand. Stationary for long periods, tagging experiments have shown that their spawning migrations can be long. Changes in the environmental conditions have been disadvantageous. Populations in Kattegat and Danish belts decreased in 1980's and early 1990's due to discharge of nutritive salts. Wadden sea is still an excellent nursery ground (Ref.35388).

The Dads (surely you remember them from previous articles) are worried that their son, Jason, will grow up with no sense of tradition. It's difficult enough parenting as a gay couple, striking new ground with every step; the child needs some sense of continuity. Not wishing to inflict their own religious stereotypes on him and being more inclined to paganism (or priapism) than to regular churchgoing, they've decided to teach him the religions of the world. Christianity seems a good place to start, since many of Dad 1's forebears were Catholic priests. "Besides," they reason, "if we start early, he'll have more time to get over it later on."

I am standing with my tit caught in a wringer while a mall-haired technician tells me to relax. I am thinking that if men had to put their testicles in a vise as part of a yearly physical, we would have a cure for the common cold by now. I am very frightened.
The pink slip came as we were leaving on vacation: "We have found what appears to be a routine abnormality..." What's routine about an abnormality? I decide to put on a brave front and joke that in all my life no one has ever called me routine; then I burst into tears. Later on I do the grown-up thing and panic, furtively examining my breasts in the mirror for changes. I'm afraid that if I touch them to check for lumps, I will set something off. I wish they were smaller. I wish they were removable. I wish they were on anyone but me.

In a small town somewhere at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains, teachers prepare for the coming semester. Professors grimly consult lesson plans, breaking in new Dockers ("I still wear the same size I wore when I graduated," they brag, bellies hanging over their straining waistlines like blubber off Ahab's whaler). Dormitories are surrounded by troops of exterminators bent on eradicating last year's mess before the health department shows up for a final check. The grounds are infested with newly arrived victims, ready to give the university their all and terrified that anything beyond the boundaries of the parents' homes will eat them alive. If they only knew.

Before I was born, Janis Ian was making beautiful music. And with her spare, acoustic recent album "Revenge," the tradition continues. Going into the interview, I was more familiar with her humorous and poignant columns in The Advocate. For some reason, although I had picked her CDs up in stores, I never bought them.

State | California |
County | Shasta County |
Reference No. | 131[1] |
Whiskeytown is an unincorporated community in Shasta County, California, United States. The ZIP Code is 96095. The community is inside area code 530. Although once a bustling mining town, there are very few people living in Whiskeytown as of today. The entire town of Whiskeytown was flooded to make way for Whiskeytown Lake in 1962. The ZIP Code of 96095 is now defunct as it has been taken over by ZIP Code 96033 in nearby French Gulch. The town of Whiskeytown is now properly part of French Gulch as the original post office and store (that were moved to higher ground in 1962) closed after 40 years. But Whiskeytown appears on many maps. All that remains is the relocated store, a few residences, mostly occupied by National Recreation Area personnel, and old mines that are above the water level of the lake. Whiskeytown is registered as a California Historical Landmark.[1]
In the state legislature Whiskeytown is in the 4th Senate District, represented by Republican Doug LaMalfa, and in the 2nd Assembly District, represented by Republican Jim Nielsen.
Federally, Whiskeytown is in California's 1st congressional district, represented by Republican Doug LaMalfa.[2]

Manslaughter charge brought in Park Rapids beating death
The weekend death of a Park Rapids man at the hands of another was a tragic accident brought on by alcohol abuse, say the family of the man charged.
"He's a good man when he's not drinking," said a tearful Karen Candelaria, the estranged wife of Luis Candelaria, who was arraigned Tuesday on manslaughter charges in the beating death of Richard Allen Hoskins, 41.

Centennial Park
430 Front Street North
Sarnia, Canada
Submitted by: rebecca horner
An active and passive community waterfront park with outdoor performance area (Dow People Place).
Why It Works
This park in Sarnia features a playground area, a large grass field which houses many activities from sports to music festivals, well maintained native plant species, 180 parking spaces (there are no roads for cars through the park), plenty of bike and hiking trails, three charcoal grills, one casual softball diamond, one soccer field, a covered outdoor performance area, and of course, the Sarnia Bay and the St. Clair River. The beautiful water walkway showcases amenities from sculptures to fountains and a marina. The park is 89.54 acres (land 38.14 acres, water 51.4 acres).
What Makes Centennial Park a Great Place?
This park is on the west side of the City, and access is open to all people of every walk of life. The park was created for a centennial project for Canada's 100th birthday in 1967. The intention is to over time create an interlinking riverfront project as far down the St. Clair Parkway as possible. The citizens and government have successfully been developing these parklands since 1967. It is intensely beautiful. The park is easily accessible, but one must park their car and then walk or bike throughout the surroundings.
Safe, clean, beautiful. Nature working with man, man not harming his surroundings.
The park is used often for different things. It is available to all.
How could a person be in a sour mood when surrounded by such beauty?

This is absolutely my HG mascara. I apply 2 coats and my lashes are long and look like falsies. The brush is great because it is not too bulky and you can get those little lashes in the corners. I have tried numerous high end mascaras and none of them IMO compare to this. I was a big fan of lash blast in the orange tube until I tried this one. The key to mascara application is to not let it dry out while you are applying or you will end up with clumpy, flaky spider lashes. This one stays wet long enough for you to work with it.

I'm over this mascara. It never smudges which I like but I want more out if mascara I want drama. This doesn't deliver

I was in need of a new mascara and came across this along with Cover Girl's Lash Blast fusion. From what I saw, they were both awesome in just slightly different regards so I splurged and got both.
Lash Perfection is a great mascara. I wasn't sure about the wand at first, but it's great. I like how thin it is, personally. It doesn't clump and it's great at separating the lashes and not making them look like spider legs!
My one complaint is that the end of the wand doesn't have much in the way of bristles and since I'm right handed, when I'd try and apply it to my left eye, the outside lashes would end up clumping together and get too much product on them and stuff like that, so I had to get a bit creative with how I was applying it.
Overall, great mascara, though I personally prefer the Lash Blast!
After reading reviews on here about this mascara i decide to buy it. I love this i have really short and thin eyelashes and this makes them so long and thick. for a drugstore mascara im really impressed.
I <3 this mascara, it never clumps and it looks gorgeous! It is my go to mascara, it is on me wherever I go. You will love it when you try it!

Im the type of person who goes out every week looking for a new amazing mascara, and I use this website as my guide. I saw that this mascara had great reviews so I went and bought it. I have super thin sparse brown eye lashes, but they r super long, just a bit bleached from the sun. I bought this stuff, and holy crap. No clumping, nice black color, makes my eye lashes look so naturally beautiful and thick . Best one ive found so far. Give it a try!
This is amazing for a drugstore mascara, I'm now on my second bottle. This is great for day-wear, since it gives a more natural look, rather than other mascaras delivering a more dramatic look better suited for nighttime. It lasts throughout the day without giving you raccoon eyes and doesn't seem to clump when applied. Definitely a drugstore fave.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love this mascara, it has a very innocent looking brush that I never imagined it was going to create such beautiful, full, natural looking lashes, when I don't want the mega drama that Maybelline The Falsies give me, I use this, makes the cutest doll-like lashes, color used was "Blackest Black".
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I adore all mascaras from Covergirl and this one is no exception. It gives me natural full lashes and yet doesn't clump. But it doesn't provide super long lashes like Volume Exact which is unfortunately discontinued. Anyways an excellent mascara, perfect for daytimes.
I will repurchase it.

This mascara is perfect for a super natural look! If you are looking for a va-va-voom type mascara,this is not for you!
Why the 4 lippies? Well,I got the brown color! I was hoping for the color to make my lashes look more natural! BAD IDEA! If you have black lashes like me,DO NOT GET BROWN! It will make your lashes GREY! It will not bring attention to your lashes at all!
Stick to brown-black or black if you have dark lashes! :)

The proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) was first identified as a key kinase linked to the MAP kinase and JNK signaling pathways that play important roles in cell growth and adhesion. The linkage between Pyk2 and the androgen receptor (AR), an important transcription factor in prostate cancer progression, however, remains unclear. Here we report that using the full-length androgen receptor-associated protein, ARA55, coregulator as bait, we were able to isolate an ARA55-interacting protein, Pyk2, and demonstrated that Pyk2 could repress AR transactivation via inactivation of ARA55. This inactivation may result from the direct phosphorylation of ARA55 by Pyk2 at tyrosine 43, impairing the coactivator activity of ARA55 and/or sequestering ARA55 to reduce its interaction with AR. Our finding that Pyk2 can indirectly modulate AR function via interaction and/or phosphorylation of ARA55 not only expands the role of Pyk2 in AR-mediated prostate cancer growth but also strengthens the role of ARA55 as an AR coregulator.

Comments about Thank you Horses Framed Award:
I bought the thank you horse frame as a gift to a co-work that was leaving the company. This frame was perfect for her because she is very active in an organization that saves wild horses. I was exactly what i was looking for knowing her interest in horses. I would love to see additonal themes (pictures) such as this that may relate to organizations such as save the horses.

To the Valley News:
At the first Dissolution Study Committee Meeting, I clearly stated that I am not for or against the dissolution of the village of Keeseville, but I do want the people to know the correct facts, so this is in response to the mayor's letters.
At this time I will provide to you my governmental expertise and experience.
I did serve as a trustee on the village of Keeseville board from 1973 to 1976, so I do know firsthand what services the village should provide to their residents. From 1986 through 1993, I served as town councilman and deputy supervisor and since 1994, I have been supervisor for the town of Chesterfield and also a member of the Essex County Board of Supervisors.
In the Keeseville Newsletter sent with the Village Water Bills, the following statement was made: "There is no guarantee that any Village Resident will receive any services at all." Reality check, the village of Keeseville over the past 23 years has given up services such as:
•the village no longer has an Assessing Unit; that is why when changes are made to properties located in the village that residents don't notice the changes for one year, because the village cannot use the town's current assessment roll, they are always a year behind.
•The village has no Dog Control Officer . Both towns maintain dog control in their respective towns (which includes inside the village limits) and are able to call upon each other if needed.
•Twice the village of Keeseville has done away with their court system and twice the towns have taken it over
•The Code Enforcement Officers position was removed from the village budget.
Yes, whatever services the village eliminates from their residents the towns are mandated to take them over. This is done without any increase in taxes, because the departments and officials combined the responsibilities with their current positions in turn this was accomplished at "no extra cost."

Does This Look Like The Face Of A Covert Agent Who Drank 100 Beers?
Huff Po – Perhaps his top-secret mission was to get completely wasted. Bradley Pope was arrested on June 3 by St. Lucie County Sheriff's deputies in Florida after telling them he was a 'covert agent' who had drank 100 beers, the TC Palm reported. According to an arrest report sent to The Huffington Post, a person called sheriff's deputies to report that an uninvited woman was swimming naked with Pope in their pool. When deputies arrived, the caller told them Pope and the woman had taken off in the caller's car. Deputies tracked down Pope, who was slurring his speech and had other signs of intoxication, according to the report. When asked if he drank anything that evening, Pope said, "of course I'm not a drunk, I don't get drunk," the report stated. But when later asked how much he had to drink, Pope said he had slugged down 100 beers. Pope also said he worked for the CIA, was a covert agent who lived in Costa Rica and would soon be the president of the United States, the report stated. He also told authorities he was bipolar and wanted to kill himself. Deputies decided not to charge him with stealing the unidentified caller's car because Pope regularly borrows it, the arrest report explained. Pope was arrested and charged with DUI.
Well. I'm not really sure if that looks like the face of a covert agent or not. And isn't that really the whole point of being a covert agent? You think covert agents walk around like the Men In Black with dark shades and an earpiece in? Fuck no. You think they act like some emotionless robot like a Secret Service guard? For sure not. They're covert. They need to blend in. Disappear into their surroundings. Well what better way to blend in to Florida than to drink a hundred beers and skinny dip in other people's pools? Thats the most "Florida" behavior I've ever seen. I bet Bradley Pope saved the world last nite and we don't even know it. Dude is the most undercover motherfucker you've ever seen. Or not seen. Who knows?

how many effective square feet does one unit cover? I'm looking to cover 9 to 16 square feet.
really interested in this stuff, would like to hear more updates or grow reports.
bump, is 400W model available?
Hi Guys,
Finnally got some pics.
As i expected the purple spectrum did not do as good as the 2700K. The purple vegged very nice and kept up with the 6400K, but when it went to bud it fell way short. The first pic is a side by side, the second is the purple Mland. bud and the ones in the yellow light is the 2700K. We vegged with 6400K and budded with 2700K VS. veg and bud with purple Mland.
As you can see the yield is no where near the 2700K. Both set ups where 300 watt induction. We believe the 400 watter will keep up with a 1000HPS as the 300's are just shy compared to 1000hps. Stay tuned.
Anyone interested in them contact me, i'll be placing an order soon as we are all sold out. these pics are only at about 7 weeks. I'll be posting more pics when complete with yield numbers
Hey Squarpush,
Sorry i didn't get your message. I been responding to so many inquiries lately. We are out of stock right now with the exception of a few 6400 and purple spec lights. We will be ordering a shipment soon. We were very reluctant to sell something we wern't sure how well they work and was waiting for some definite positive results, Please email me again and sorry for the wait.
Curious if anything has come of this lighting? Did you get a chance to test it? Any additional info would be appreciated.
Do your lights "really" work... please tell me more.
from what i read, speaking with someone good on the industry, he said there is only 1 spectrum Induction light. So its strange that you say you have different spectrum models of this induction lighting, since I thought it all came from the same manufacturer?
Hi guys,
XTXSDP please check photos on previous posts on how they are working.
squarepush these are a type of fluorescent and of course there are as many color spectrums available as any other type of fluorescent. Your "someone good" in the industry is only trying to sell one type of light the purple one. Infact there are even two different purple spectrum available. The one we tested was suppose to be the better of the two. Induction lights have been around for over 15 years and we are now only exploring them for the horticultral industry. so to say that there is only one color of induction light is foolish.
To futher my previous post, the reason i'm posting is becuase we don't want to see induction lights get a bad name because someone markets the wrong product with "induction" name and having it not perform good. I just want to prove to you all that the purple spectrum is not the way to go and the 2700k and 6400K is much better. If you bought something and paid big money for it and find out it doesn't work, your going to spread the word that the product is bogus and this awesome technolgy will go by the wayside. to say 2700K and 6400K is not designed for "growing" is wrong. I'm sure the MH and HPS light was not originally desiged for the horticultral industry too.
If the debate is wether the purple is superior to the 2700K or vise versa try a test grow with a 25,000K cfl vs. a 2700K (6400K for veg). The 25,000K cfl is the same color spectrum as the Mland induction. Induction lights are basically CFL's on steriods. The produce the same color spectrums but are much much more intense and last almost forever.
Mland does not make the bulbs, they are a fixture manufacturer. There are only a few companies that actually build induction lights.
The purple spectrum works great for growing but only if your growing basil or lettuce!
still looking for sources/pricing of some of these lights to trial
Hi everyone,
Here are some new pictues of how the induction lights are working. The purple spectrum seems to have stopped any progression. We have decided to end the purple light after today and save the crop by replacing it with a 2700K light. The 2700K is doing very good. You can see the difference in light pentration compared to the purple, the buds are growing all the way down the plant. These pictures were taken 3 weeks in bud.

PLANT PROBLEMS?? Read
all my posts are fake.. i lie.
very interesting. subscribed
I found a manufacturer making a 400W, 2100K induction lamp $230 per.
I was at my local grow shop, and they said their 2100K HPS was their best producer. it says lumen rate is 24000 and effective lumen is 45000-48000
if what they say is true, wouldn't that light be far superior to a 2700K ?
here are some other specs from them. i aint sellin nothin!
copied from data sheet sent to me.
1.long lifespan: For some item, such as self-ballast model and small wattages series, our lamps had 60000Hrs lifespan, for other models, our lamps had 100000hrs.
2.High light efficiency: 65~90lm/w.Rate lumen is the principle date, human eyes can feel more effective lumen.
3.High color rendering: 80.
4. work frequency: 200~300KHz
5. Low Light Decline: The light decline is less than 30% when it use 60000hrs.
6.Color temperature: 2100K/2700K/3500K/4000K/5000K/6500K. 2700K,6500K ,we had larges for store so that we can delivery out as long as clients ordered.
7.The power change area is less than 3% of rate power when the voltage changed in 10% or so.
8. Environment temeprature: You can use the lamps in 0~50 centidegree if you do not use any fixtures, you can use the lamps in -20~ 50 centidegree if used in closed fixtures.
9. THD< 10%,Power factor: 0.99
10.CCC,UL,CE,ROHS,ISO9001 certification. http://boards.cannabis.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
Has anyone done flowering with available induction lights and posted final pictures to show a result?
I saw an induction light system at an aquarium store the other day, and I have to say, I wasn't impressed. The bulbs were paired with a 35w MH and the MH just drowned them out. It was 4-2 foot induction lights, and one MH, and still, I had to look up into the light fixture to tell there were other lights in there.

Looking for a Thesis; Day 1 of Big Change: Cramer's Best Blogs
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Jim Cramer fills his blog on RealMoney every day with his up-to-the-minute reactions to what's happening in the market and his legendary ahead-of-the-crowd ideas. This week he blogged on:
- the new theme; and
- the not-so-dumb market.
Click here for information on RealMoney, where you can see all the blogs, including Jim Cramer's -- and reader comments -- in real time.
We've Lost the Housing Thesis
Posted at 4:13 p.m. EDT on Friday, June 21 It was another one of those "could have been worse" sessions. But you know what? I think that this was simply a relief rally -- a relief that the interest rate on the 10-year Treasury didn't spike more than we had thought it would, and a relief that China didn't let its banks go bust. Here's the problem with a relief rally. Now that we are relieved for Friday, we have to get all relieved again every day next week. On Friday, underneath, we saw the continued unwind of the housing trade. All you had to do was watch Whirlpool (WHR - Get Report). The shelling this one took is indicative of the pain that's ahead of us when we read that mortgage rates are about to go to 5%.Sure, Whirlpool also has a big Brazil component, but this 7-point decline is all about the big speed bump in the road of the housing highway. When I see this, and a similar decline in Sherwin Williams (SHW - Get Report), I know these stocks are truly rolling over and they aren't done. What's going to take this theme's place? I have been championing the regional banks, the techs and the industrials, and they did well today. But the stars were the bond-equivalent stocks, and that's unnerving to me, too. I do not know how they can move still higher. They are still up huge, and they no longer have that dividend support now that the rates have moved higher.

Product Description
Innokin iClear 30S
The iClear 30 S is a top filling dual coil clearomizer that produces large amounts of vapor and allows for more flavor to come across with the vapor as well. At 3ml. this is a large capacity tank allowing for you to vape on your favorite flavors for longer before refilling this tank. This is a poly carbonate tank that comes with either a threaded straight drip tip or the 360 degree rotatable drip tip. They come pre-installed with a 2.1 ohm easily changeable dual coil and you can buy replacement 1.5 ohm dual coils for this as well. This is a 510 threaded device making it compatible with most every battery such as the itazte SVD's, MVP's, VTR's, or your more traditional eGo style batteries. With it being dual coil I would suggest something with variable voltage so that you can adjust the voltage to insure you are using enough power for the best production from this clearomizer. The drip tips are threaded on these, but you can also switch them out for any 510 based drip tip for those who have a sensitivity to metals or are just going for a different look. When filling the iClear 30 S, you will want to make sure that you do not fill down the atomizer shaft as this will cause flooding and a possible short on your battery.
What's in the box?
- One iClear 30 S Poly Carbonate Tank
- One 360 degree rotatable threaded drip tip or threaded straight tip
- One 2.1 ohm dual coil
- Poly Carbonate design
- 3ml. capacity
- 510 Threaded device
- Threaded or 510 drip tip option
- 2.1 and 1.5 ohm dual coil compatibility
iClear 30 S is another solid product in a line of solid products coming from Innokin. This is great for flavor and large vapor production from a clearomizer. Easy to use, with a large filling capacity making for less maintenance and more time to enjoy your favorite flavors.

I dont want to be a superstar. . all i am is a Latino American citizen Born and raised in the bronx . .Out the box dude who transduce what the brain sees n da heart feels into music . . the single parent living . . No Money in your Pocket music . . something my weed smokers can zone too Something my hennessy sippers Can put thought into .. Every one gets there chance to shine..I HAD ALOT N LIFE IS A ROLLERCOASTER I WANT MY CITIZENS TO FEEL ME ! My music is made up of all the errors ive made in life. its made up of the feeling of someday owning your glory. I do not want to be a superstar i wanna be Respected by an audience of ANY ONE WHO FELT THEY ARE OWED BY SOCIETY. ANY ONE WHO KNOWS THERES FAR AWAY PURPOSES THAT DO NOT GET LIGHT SHINED OVER THEM ! YALL ARE MY CITIZENS WE CLOSER TO OPENING A NEW WORLD . .
