From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Vasodilation refers to the widening of blood vessels[1] resulting from relaxation of smooth muscle cells within the vessel walls, particularly in the large veins, large arteries, and smaller arterioles. The process is essentially the opposite of vasoconstriction, which is the narrowing of blood vessels.
When blood vessels dilate, the flow of blood is increased due to a decrease in vascular resistance. Therefore, dilation of arterial blood vessels (mainly the arterioles) causes a decrease in blood pressure. The response may be intrinsic (due to local processes in the surrounding tissue) or extrinsic (due to hormones or the nervous system). Additionally, the response may be localized to a specific organ (depending on the metabolic needs of a particular tissue, as during strenuous exercise), or it may be systemic (seen throughout the entire systemic circulation).
Drugs that cause vasodilation are termed vasodilators.

Contents |
The primary function of vasodilation is to increase blood flow in the body to tissues that need it most. This is often in response to a localized need of oxygen, but can occur when the tissue in question is not receiving enough glucose or lipids or other nutrients. Localized tissues utilize multiple ways to increase blood flow including releasing vasodilators, primarily adenosine, into the local instersitial fluid which diffuses to capillary beds provoking local vasodilation. Some physiologists have suggested it is the lack of oxygen itself which causes capillary beds to vasodilate by the smooth muscle hypoxia of the vessels in the region. This latter hypothesis is posited due to the presence of precapillary sphincters in capillary beds. Neither of these approaches to the mechanism of vasodilation is mutually exclusive of the other.[2]
Vasodilation directly affects the relationship between mean arterial pressure, cardiac output and total peripheral resistance (TPR). Vasodilation occurs in the time phase of cardiac systole while vasoconstriction follows in the opposite time phase of cardiac diastole. Mathematically, cardiac output (blood flow measured in volume per unit time) is computed by multiplying the heart rate (in beats per minute) and the stroke volume (the volume of blood ejected during ventricular systole). TPR depends on several factors, including the length of the vessel, the viscosity of blood (determined by hematocrit) and the diameter of the blood vessel. The latter is the most important variable in determining resistance, with the TPR changing by the fourth power of the radius. An increase in either of these physiological components (cardiac output or TPR) cause a rise in the mean arterial pressure. Vasodilation works to decrease TPR and blood pressure through relaxation of smooth muscle cells in the tunica media layer of large arteries and smaller arterioles.[3]
Vasodilation occurs in superficial blood vessels of warm-blooded animals when their ambient environment is hot; this process diverts the flow of heated blood to the skin of the animal, where heat can be more easily released into the atmosphere. The opposite physiological process is vasoconstriction. These processes are naturally modulated by local paracrine agents from endothelial cells (e.g. nitric oxide, bradykinin, potassium ions and adenosine), as well as an organism's autonomic nervous system and adrenal glands, both of which secrete catecholamines such as norepinephrine and epinephrine, respectively.
Vasodilation is the result of relaxation in smooth muscle surrounding the blood vessels. This relaxation, in turn, relies on removing the stimulus for contraction, which depends on intracellular calcium ion concentrations and, consequently, phosphorylation of the light chain of the contractile protein myosin. Thus, vasodilation mainly works either by lowering intracellular calcium concentration or the dephosphorylation of myosin. This includes stimulation of myosin light chain phosphatase and induction of calcium symporters and antiporters that pump calcium ions out of the intracellular compartment. This is accomplished through reuptake of ions into the sarcoplasmic reticulum via exchangers and expulsion across the plasma membrane.[4] There are three main intracellular stimuli that can result in the vasodilation of blood vessels. The specific mechanisms to accomplish these effects vary from vasodilator to vasodilator.
Class | Description | Example |
Hyperpolarization mediated (Calcium channel blocker) | Changes in the resting membrane potential of the cell affects the level of intracellular calcium through modulation of voltage sensitive calcium channels in the plasma membrane. | adenosine |
cAMP mediated | Adrenergic stimulation results in elevated levels of cAMP and protein kinase A, which results in increasing calcium removal from the cytoplasm. | prostacyclin |
cGMP mediated (Nitrovasodilator) | Through stimulation of protein kinase G. | nitric oxide |
PDE5 inhibitors and potassium channel openers can also have similar results.
Compounds that mediate the above mechanisms may be grouped as endogenous and exogenous.

various receptors on endothelium | ↓endothelin synthesis [6] |
The vasodilating action of activation of beta-2 receptors (such as by noradrenaline) appears to be endothelium-independent.[9]
Whereas it is recognized that that the sympathetic nervous system plays an expendable role in vasodilation, it is one of the mechanisms by which it can be accomplished. The spinal cord has both vasodilation and vasoconstriction nerves. The neurons that control vascular vasodilation originate in the hypothalmus. Some sympathetic stimulation of arterioles in skeletal muscle is mediated by epinephrine acting on β-adrenergic receptors of arteriolar smooth muscle which would be mediated by cAMP pathways as mentioned above. However, it has been shown that knocking out this sympathetic stimulation plays little to no role in whether skeletal muscle is able to receive sufficient oxygen even at high levels of exertion, so it is believed that this particular method of vasodilation is of little import to human physiology.[10]
In cases of emotional distress, this system may activate, resulting in fainting due to decreased blood pressure from vasodilation, which is referred to as vasovagal syncope.[11]
This article is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. (June 2011) |

Other suggested vasodilators or vasodilating factors include:
Vasodilators are used to treat conditions such as hypertension, where the patient has an abnormally high blood pressure, as well as angina, congestive heart failure, erectile dysfunction and where maintaining a lower blood pressure reduces the patient's risk of developing other cardiac problems.[3] Flushing may be a physiological response to vasodilators. A phosphodiesterase inhibitor, works to increase blood flow in the penis through vasodilation. It may also be used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

Chart-Track also noted the third installment in the Payne series bested Diablo 3 by only about 8,000 sales. With Max Payne 3 only available through disc-based sales and Diablo 3 available through digital distribution, it would be fair to guess Diablo actually sold more. That is, if you believe Diablo 3 sold over 8,000 units online in the UK last week.
The rest of the top ten are the usual suspects. So, pop some pain killers and shoot past the break for the UK top ten.

text: Nilda was born in New Jersey and raised in Puerto Rico until the age of 14, when she moved to Lawrence, Massachusetts to live with her mother. As Nilda was beginning to develop a relationship with her mother, her mother was exposing her to alcohol, marijuana and the allure of nightlife. "By age 15, I was clubbing, drinking, drugging, and eventually became pregnant. By age 18, I had two children and was living on the streets, snorting cocaine. Then, I went from coke to heroin." By age 27, Nilda had a heroin and crack cocaine habit and was pregnant with her fifth child. Nilda eventually made the tough decision to place her children with their godparents. "I had to do what I did to support my habit, so I chose the streets." Nilda continued to struggle with addiction and the only life she knew. "When my drug use became a serious habit, it wasn't fun anymore – now it was a business. At first it was a party, then sex and drugs became a transaction I had to work for."By the time Nilda had her fifth child, she yearned to turn her life around. She was tired of getting high, but continued to struggle through detox programs, never having the support that she needed to stay clean. More than anything, she wanted to have a home with her children and a happy family. After moving to New Bedford, Nilda was left to fend for herself, only this time instead of resorting to drugs, she found the strength to start over. Eight months pregnant and on Methadone maintenance, she made her way to Seven Hills Behavioral Health's H.O.M.E. of H.O.P.E. for Women Outreach Center, which promotes dignity and respect for women from all walks of life. Nilda began attending the Women's Issues Group, where she found a place with other women who had had a similar journey and who were ready to turn their lives around. Nilda began to realize that she was not alone.Walking through New Bedford at night with her newborn child on her hip and the other one holding her hand, she would religiously make her way to the H.O.M.E. of H.O.P.E for meetings. "The Women's Issues Group became a family to me. It was so difficult trying to make it on my own-- I had to steal diapers because my entire check was going to rent. Just after I got my fourth child back, the H.O.M.E. of H.O.P.E staff showed up at my door with a stroller, playpen, and other things to help me get back on my feet. "At the H.O.M.E. of H.O.P.E, the staff offered Nilda her first volunteer job, "I made coffee in the morning, a job I took very seriously. After all, this place was like my family. I knew I wanted to work at H.O.M.E. of H.O.P.E. This was the first true goal I had ever accomplished. I felt like I was part of something and realized that I am somebody with a voice that counts. They taught me how to be a woman, a mother, and a friend." After working at the H.O.M.E. of H.O.P.E for a year, Nilda went back to school and attained her GED. At age 36, Nilda has been clean for 10 years and continues to work at the H.O.M.E. of H.O.P.E providing outreach and health education to other women.Nilda's next goal is to go back to school to become a substance abuse counselor. She is an inspiration to so many and continues to reach out in her community and help women on their road to recovery at the H.O.M.E. of H.O.P.E.

I love a good book. And that includes cookbooks, even if my husband spends a disproportionate time in the kitchen. Earlier this summer, at the Hawaii Book & Music Festival, I discovered The Hawaii Farmers Market Cookbook from Watermark Publishing. The beauty of this book is that it isn't meant to sit in the kitchen. The recipes printed inside come from the myriad of members of the Hawaii Farm Bureau. In addition to recipes, the book includes a detailed list of the kinds of produce you'll find at the many farmers markets popping up across the Hawaiian Islands and tips on how to eat and cook with them. It makes a handy companion to tuck into your reusable bag that you carry for stashing all your Hawaii farmers market finds.
Here's a recipe for a dish that caught my eye, one that even if you don't live in Hawaii, you could probably find the ingredients--got mac nuts--to make and infuse your life with a little reminder of the Hawaiian Islands.
MacNut Brittle Abigail Langlas, Honolulu Coffee Company
4 cups macadamia nuts, toasted and still hot2 pounds granulated sugar½ cup water½ cup corn syrup½ cup unsalted butter2 teaspoons vanilla½ teaspoon salt2 teaspoons baking soda, sifted
In a large, heavy saucepan, combine sugar, water, corn syrup and butter. Bring to a boil and continue to boil until mixture reaches a medium caramel color. Add vanilla, then salt and baking soda, then the hot nuts. Stir until the nuts are mixed in, but do not continue to stir after that, as it will deflate the brittle. Immediately pour mixture out onto a silicon baking mat or a greased cookie sheet. Pull apart as it cools. Makes about four pounds.
And if you make it, let me know how it turns out. You can find The Hawaii Farmers Market Cookbook online here.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) -- Poudre Valley Hospital is recommending hepatitis C testing for some patients after an employee at the hospital's intensive care unit was suspected of stealing intravenous painkillers.
The hospital sent letters Saturday to 210 patients and some employees asking them to get shots if they were there from Sept. 2, 2011, and Aug. 28, 2012.
Officials would only identify the employee as a man, but they declined to say what position he held. No arrests have been made and the man was later fired.
So far, no cases of liver disease associated with the virus have been reported. The hospital is asking patients to seek testing as soon as possible.
"We want patients to be assured at this time there are no reported cases of patients acquiring hepatitis C and no evidence of harm to patients, but we want to make sure they are absolutely safe and encourage them to get tested," said Ric Detlefsen, director of quality at Poudre Valley Hospital and Medical Center of the Rockies.
Officials said Fort Collins police have been working with investigators from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment since early November when they learned the employee may have been stealing leftover drugs from patients. The hospital also learned the employee had hepatitis C, but was no longer infected after Aug. 28, 2012, the Fort Collins Coloradoan reported Tuesda

Apparatus used to keep the temperature of a structure or device from exceeding limits imposed by needs of safety and efficiency. In a mechanical transmission, the oil loses its lubricating capacity if overheated; in a hydraulic coupling or converter, the fluid leaks under the pressure created. In an electric motor, overheating causes deterioration of the insulation. In an overheated internal-combustion engine, the pistons may seize in the cylinders. The cooling agents customarily employed are air and a liquid (usually water), either alone or in combination. In some cases, direct contact with ambient air (free convection) may be sufficient, as in cooling towers; in other cases, it may be necessary to employ forced convection, created either by a fan or by the natural motion of the hot body. Cooling systems are used in automobiles, industrial plant machinery, nuclear reactors, and many other types of machinery. Seealso air conditioning, heat exchanger.
Learn more about cooling system with a free trial on Britannica.com.
An Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) is a component in nuclear power plants designed to deal with a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) by providing massive backup sources of coolant.
An ECCS also may be used after a "partial" (incomplete) SCRAM to help bring a runaway reaction under control.
Each power plant has multiple independent ECCS systems, any one of which should be adequate to cool the core.
ECCS systems are nuclear safety-grade components.
ECCS systems can be powered by plant power (as long as the generator is on-line), offsite power, or the plant's Emergency Diesel Generators (another nuclear safety-grade system).
ECCS systems typically activate automatically upon occurrence of a LOCA (along with other automatic plant actions), to restore cooling as fast as possible so as to prevent a nuclear meltdown.

@allenJo - They are simple boats; that's why. I've seen pictures of these things and they look like things you could build yourself quite easily.
More importantly, they would be perfect if you're one of those "lonely planet" types, who is always looking for hiking trails and places to go that are off the beaten path.
The coracles are simple to get in and row to your next destination. Plus, you can use them to go fishing. Imagine going on a trip and catching your own fish for dinner rather than spending money in the local restaurant.
That doesn't quite fit me, but like I said, there are some people who like to do that sort of thing.

The colder air has already arrived, and temps will fall hour by hour from this point on. Then there's the snow. The further south you travel, and the closer to get to the mountains, the heavier your snow will be. I've included a link to our latest snowfall estimates. More than the snow, we're concerned about icy roads. As warm as we've been, the first snowflakes to fly will melt, then freeze, laying down a base of ice, so just to be safe, allow yourself some extra commuting time for Thursday morning. The chance for snow will taper off from north to south on Thursday, leaving more stars and chilly temps Friday morning. Friday will feature a mix of clouds and sunshine, with warmer temps, leading to a mostly sunny, warmer weekend. Breezes will increase on Monday, boosting highs to 15-20 degrees above average, with slightly cooler, breezy days on Tuesday and Wednesday.

US trashes, sells its unwanted gear in Afghanistan
By The Associated Press
Afghan scrap collectors transport a load of destroyed U.S. equipment from the departing military in Kandahar, southern Afghanistan. As the final withdrawal of U.S. and NATO troops approaches at the end of 2014, the U.S. military is getting rid of equipment that is either too expensive to ship back to the United States or if it is sold as working equipment could be used by insurgents. (AP Photo/Anja Niedringhaus)
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) -- The withdrawing U.S. military is destroying most of the equipment it is leaving behind in Afghanistan after 13 years of war, selling the scrap for millions of dollars to those willing to buy it.
The policy stands in stark contrast to the Americans' withdrawal from Iraq, when they donated or sold still-usable items worth about $100 million.
The equipment is being trashed, U.S. officials say, because of fears that anything left behind in Afghanistan could fall into the hands of insurgents and used to make bombs. Leaving it behind also saves the U.S. billions of dollars in transportation costs.
Afghans are angry at the policy, arguing that even furniture and appliances that could improve their lives is being turned into useless junk.
"They use everything while they are here, and then they give it to us after breaking it," said Mohammed Qasim, a junk dealer in the volatile southern province of Kandahar. He gestured toward the large yellow frame of a gutted generator, saying it would have been more useful in somebody's home, given the lack of electricity in the area.
The twisted mounds of metal, steel and industrial rubber scattered over a vast field had once been armored vehicles, trucks and huge blast walls that protected troops from suicide bombers. Giant black treads were pulled from tanks. Even air conditioners, exercise machines and office equipment were crushed and stuffed into multicolored shipping containers piled on top of each other in the junkyard.
In the last year, the U.S. has turned equipment and vehicles into 387 million pounds (176 million kilograms) of scrap that it sold to Afghans for $46.5 million, according to Mimi Schirmacher, a spokeswoman for the military's Defense Logistics Agency in Virginia.
The scrapped material was too worn out to repair or not worth the expense of carrying it back to the U.S., officials said.
Not everything in Afghanistan was destroyed. Coalition forces have handed over $71 million in equipment intact to the Afghans, said Col. Jane Crichton, a public affairs officer for U.S. forces in Afghanistan. She said $64 million of that came from the U.S.
"We work closely with the Afghan National Security Forces to determine what equipment they need, if it is in good condition, and ensure they are capable of maintaining it," Crichton said in an email.
Spokesmen for President Hamid Karzai said the government has "repeatedly" asked U.S. officials to neither destroy nor remove its military equipment from Afghanistan when its combat troops leave.
"We oppose the destruction of any of the equipment and hardware that can be of use by the Afghan security forces," deputy presidential spokesman Fayeq Wahedi told The Associated Press in an email.
Between September 2012 and the end of 2014, when most U.S. troops will have left, the Americans will move an estimated 50,000 vehicles - tens of thousands of them hardened to make them resistant to mines.
They will also ship an estimated 100,000 metal containers - each about 20 feet long. Placed end-to-end, the containers would stretch nearly 400 miles (600 kilometers).
The military faced a similar logistics dilemma when it pulled out of Iraq in 2011, but it left most of the equipment with the government, including water tanks, generators, furniture and armored vehicles. Nearly $100 million in equipment was donated or sold to the Iraqis as of 2010, military officials said at the time.
Crichton said the Iraqis were better prepared to receive and maintain the equipment.
"Iraq had a higher number of military and police personnel, and they had a more developed infrastructure at the end of operations to support the equipment," she said.
The lessons learned from Iraq included how to save money by dismantling, relocating and disposing of equipment it didn't want to ship home, she said, as well as earning money by selling it as scrap to the locals. The U.S. deployed an estimated $33 billion in equipment to Afghanistan.
In southern Kandahar, the birthplace of the Taliban where a stubborn insurgency still flourishes, the policy is having unintended consequences.
At a junkyard less than a mile (kilometer) from the sprawling Kandahar Air Base where tens of thousands of NATO and U.S. soldiers were stationed at the war's peak, ethnic Pashtuns grumble at getting scrap instead of working equipment.
Schirmacher, the Defense Logistics Agency spokeswoman, said a big reason for trashing the equipment before selling it to the Afghans is to remove its potential to be used for bombs.
Even the most innocuous piece of equipment, like a treadmill, a stationary bike or household appliances, have timers or copper wiring that can be used to make roadside bombs, she said.
"Removing those timers or other potentially dangerous internal components renders the property inoperable, and so it is scrapped," she said, adding that her agency sells the scrap to three Afghan firms. The U.S. military decides what gets turned into scrap, Schirmacher said.
Inside the junkyard office, a half-dozen men sipping green tea scoffed at the concern, saying insurgents can get cheap timers and other bomb-making material in any village marketplace.
"These timers can be bought over there," dealer Mir Ahmed said, pointing out a grimy window to a row of electrical shops.
"They can buy them cheap. They can buy a bunch of cheap watches with timers for nothing, but even if they have lots of money and are using this equipment to make bombs, what about the washing machines? What can they do with those?" he said
"These are things we can use at home with our families or in our business. But instead they turn everything to junk and then they give it to us," he added.
Ahmed, who said he has paid as much as $4,000 for a large container of junk, said the contents can be kind of a lottery.
Daoud Shah, a rotund man with a long gray beard, compared the impending pullout of U.S. and NATO combat troops to the 1989 Soviet military withdrawal after a 10-year occupation.
"The Russians were better. At least they didn't leave us junk. They didn't destroy everything and then leave," he said, removing his turban and scratching his bald head.
Shah said he had fought as a mujahedeen, or holy warrior, against the Soviets in a war that was heavily funded by the U.S. and other Western countries.
"But now we're in even worse shape," he added.

Is atheism predicated partially on the belief in evolution and the current prevailing views of science.
If so, then such a belief is subject to drastic changes as discoveries and theories
have recently arose that shatter the paradigm that is the foundation of such a belief:
Discoveries keep pushing back the inception of civilization, indefinitely back in time
Evidence of coastal civilizations existing during the ice age are arising in now inundated coastal region due to rising seas.
The concept of a missing link is no longer postulated as a bush of hominids lineages walked the earth. With what was once considered ancestors, actually being contemporary with postulated descendants. A bush of hominids actually existed as recently as 30,0000 B.C.E.
Though theories of evolution abound no working scientific model exists for the emergence of life.
Our very existence is interwoven with the anthropic principle. As such this has required scientist to postulate the multiverse to explain how the anthropic principle is mindlessly satisfied by nature. However this just substitutes one unfalsifiable believe for another.
In truth, Darwin's world has been shattered and the truth has become intractable. Even as we cope with dark matter and energy. Terms that falsely connote that we have defined them, when in fact they are no more apparent than God. As such new scientific theories continue to emerge based on the inadequacy of the standard model. This will continue into infinitum since, as God there is no means to detect these alleged entities with scientific instrumentation.
Yeah, I was kinda looking forward to that myself - listen, I've got my day-planner out, any idea as to just when I might want to pencil that in --?
Amazing, about the worst I might wish upon another is very good health coverage so they can get the care they need, moments of actual clarity, a nice day, a warm puppy, and beauty. You know, much of the world can be very nice if you stay away from the toxic personalities, bad food, and crazy making. A glass of wine and a few cookies, a short nap works for me, or a little less TV...
Rivers running in blood? Never seen it. Sad people thinking about 'Rivers of Blood', a fairly common occurance in the military, 'sky is falling' environmentalists, OCD folks, and super fund sites on a bad day....
What is amazing, just like Pharaoh, the world at lodge still will not believe. The prophets will be slain in the city that spiritually called Sodom-Egypt (Jerusalem), the world shall send gifts to each other. But a voice shall be heard, "Come up hither", immediately their enemies shall behold them and be aghast. Jerusalem, that kills the prophets, how often would he not have gathered you in to his arms.
Why would anyone believe this crap, Michael? How is it that so many cultures imagined gods, all of them being entirely bogus, until one day a particular culture imagined a god and THAT one, being indistinguishable from the rest, was the real McCoy? How is it that this god watched all those other cultures imagine false gods, much like himself, and then chose to reveal himself in such a cliché manner? How is it, that the creator of the cosmos didn't know the planet was round? Why would the creator of the entire cosmos be so fixated on one tribe, and having them kill animals, burning their carcasses, so they he might be 'pleased by the odour'?
I know how you believe it, Michael, and I wish you would get yourself some help.
Like Job can you present a rallying acquisition against God? If you can affront him , loosen the bands of the seven sisters ( Pleiades ) or draw Leviathan from the ocean with a hook. then shall he be the first to congratulate you and call you his equal and be endowed to dare question his judgement, purpose or counsel.
Hate to break it to you Michael, but Job was fictitious too --
@Micheal - are you talking about Zeus here? Or Ra? Or Anu? Once again you just revert to bizarre cult speak because you are incapable of representing your god-belief coherently.
Yo, Miguelito! A few words about your challanges.
First, the Pleides are a cluster of new stars, formed just a few million years before the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Astronomers estimate that the cluster will survive for about another 250 million years, after which it will disperse due to gravitational interactions with its galactic neighborhood, at which time, their bands will be loosed.
They were named for the 7 hot daughters of Atlas, and were immortalized by Zeus by placing them in the sky where we could all enjoy them.
What Zeus hath put in the sky, let not Yahweh mess with, or something like that --
As for old Leviathan, I'm thinking a depth charge, followed by a harpoon on a winch ought to solve the Leviathian problem.
But what does doing all this win me? The right for him to call me his equal? To late! I'm already his superior, I'm real!
And as for questioning his judgment, purpose or counsel, hell, I've been doing that since I was twelve!
Michael, you have sidestepped the challenge and thus failed to answer the challenge. Nobody is challenging "God" here. What is being challenged if the notion of God as represented by the Bible makes sense to believe as true.
How do we know this Bible is inspired?
God has to be accepted before we can question him. We aren't anywhere near there to do that. This is not questioning God as a person. This is questioning God as a concept, and more specifically the truthfulness of the Bible.
Now, earlier you said it was amazing the world doesn't believe. It is not amazing that the world at large does not believe. Why would you even say that? Just because you are super self-convinced?
The passage implies that the world doesn't disbelieve due to hardness of heart. Hardness of heart ignores evidence. Nobody is ignoring evidence here. Hardness of heart implies that someone ignores the obvious. What makes anything obvious is strong evidence. Everything obvious in the world is obvious only because of evidence. Just evidence. That is the only thing out there that does that. Obvious means the evidence overwhelms all evidence to the contrary.
Overassurance, on the other hand, gives the false impression that something is obvious. If you think about it, it is actually obvious is that many people are overassured. It is very obvious people get overassured. The way you can tell if something is truly obvious or people are overassured about it is if the claim or idea is able to overwhelm evidence brought against it. Nothing is obvious unless it overwhelms counter-evidence. If it just holds it's own, it is called "debatable", not obvious. So don't say it is amazing people won't believe when all you are doing is presenting something that shows, if you play mental gymnastics and twister with the idea, you can show how it is "possible".
It is just dishonest thinking to not consider "Is this obvious" or "am I overassured".
@ John Kelly
"Now, earlier you said it was amazing the world doesn't believe. It is not amazing that the world at large does not believe. Why would you even say that? Just because you are super self-convinced?"
I was addressing the future when, the two witnesses are revealed, The spirit filled of Judah and Levi (The two lampstands and olive trees before the God of the whold earth). They will have the powers of Elijah and Moses in the days of their prophecies. "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: 6And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse."
Now in regard to Leviathan, I agree with the scholarship of my sources;
The mythological significance of Leviathan is well known. Appearing as the Lothan of seven heads that Baal destroys in the Ugaritic myths, he is likewise the sea-serpent of many heads that Elohim defeated in the beginning (Ps. 74.12-14). One mythical tradition of the eschaton represents a final battle of Yahweh with Leviathan (Isa. 27.1). This Leviathan is doubtless the mythical origin of the dragon of seven heads in Rev. 17. Leviathan, as well as Behemoth, appears with eschatological significance in Enoch 60.7-9, IV Ezra 6.49-52, and Apoc[ryphal] Baruch 24.4 (1992, p. 367).
RE: "final battle of Yahweh with Leviathan"
Let me get this picture clear in my head - your Yahweh created the entire universe in six days, yet he's going to crawl out from wherever he lives/resides, and fight a sea monster - is that about it?
You DO know I can't see you, so I gotta ask - you are saying this with a straight face, aren't you?
Two words, Michael - sea kelp!

By: The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - With the nation's only underground nuclear waste dump shuttered by a mysterious leak, Los Alamos National Laboratory has begun looking at alternatives for getting toxic waste off its campus.
Lab spokesman Matthew Nerzig confirmed Tuesday that officials have begun looking at options if the Waste Isolation Pilot Project in Carlsbad remains closed indefinitely.
The presence of that waste, stored outside with little protection, came to the public's attention three years ago as a massive wildfire lapped at the edges of the sprawling lab property.
The lab has since agreed to have it all removed from the mesa by the end of June. The lab was ahead of schedule for getting the nearly 4,000 barrels to WIPP when back-to-back accidents, including a radiation release, closed the repository last month.

Meet the Most Disturbing Anti-LeBron Site Ever Created: MrsLebronWade.com
Categories: Sports
via MrsLebronWade.com |
You really want this burned into your retinas as a larger image? Click through. |
Meet MrsLeBronWade.com, a site built on the premise that D-Wade and LBJ tied the knot earlier this summer and chock-full of turgid "satire" and Photoshopped pics of LeBron's head on hot women's bodies that you just can't unsee. This. Must. Stop.
The blog, admittedly, is slick. The Photoshops are top quality, the pink heart background is a nice touch and the writers went far enough to include a "Links" section with LBJ's "favorite sites": Tampax, a wedding registry, and a Miami breast augmentation service.
It's not clear who is putting the time and effort into MrsLebronWade. Riptide sent an email to the site's contact link last week and have yet to hear back.
But once you get past the initial chuckle-slash-gag reflex at the indelible image of LeBron as an attractive lady, the basic premise of the site is not only tired, it's a bit offensive. You see, LBJ ditching his star-less team in Cleveland for Wade's Heat is like, totally gay!
So the only way to pillory LeBron is to imagine his transformation into a lady-boy about to betroth his new teammate.
Sorry, not buying it, guys. (Even if, OK, the Chris Bosh as an adopted baby angle is pretty hilarious.) This is a league with a not exactly friendly record toward its gay players.
But let's drop the serious arguments and just agree on one thing: These photos are an abomination. Even if you find the whole LBJ-D-Wade marriage angle hilarious, you may want to consult a psychiatrist after spending a few minutes with a shot like this:

They said to use them would mean, we would have to remove the concrete that is there to reduce bridge noise to the surrounding residents. So that trumped cyclist safety, and they would not be installing them. I have all of the request sent to FDOT, as well as their replies, if you would like to see them.

Future Clemson women's golfer Ashlan Ramsey fired a two over par 74 on Friday and finished in second place at the Trans American Women's Amateur at Schaffer's Mill Golf and Lake Club in Truckee, CA.
Ramsey finished with a 288 score for the 72 hole tournament, just one shot behind Hannah Suh of the University of California. She opened the tournament with rounds of 68 and 69, the only two rounds in the 60s for the entire field over the four days of the event.
Ramsey and Suh were tied for first entering the final round at two under par. Suh shot a 33 on the front nine and had a five shot lead with six holes to play. But, Ramsey made a charge, playing the final six holes one under par, while Suh shot three over. But, both ladies made par on the par five 550-yard 18th hole and Suh had the victory.
Ramsey, who will be a freshman on the Clemson women's golf team this September, had won each of her last three tournaments, including the Western Amateur. She has already qualified for the US Amateur that will be played in Charleston in August.

Hack and / - When Disaster Strikes: Restoring a Master Boot Record
The following is a continuation of a series of columns on Linux disasters and how to recover from them, inspired in part by a Halloween Linux Journal Live episode titled "Horror Stories". You can watch the original episode at www.linuxjournal.com/video/linux-journal-live-horror-stories.
I have to admit, I've learned more about how Linux works by breaking it and fixing it, than I have by any other method. There really is nothing quite like the prospect of losing valuable data, or the idea that your only computer won't boot, to motivate you to learn more about your system. In this month's installment of "When Disaster Strikes", I discuss a surprisingly small part of your computer that plays a surprisingly large role in booting and using it—the Master Boot Record, or MBR for short. I cover some of my favorite ways to destroy an MBR and a few ways to restore it once you have.
Before you can fully understand how to restore the MBR, you should have a good idea of what it actually is. The MBR comprises the first 512 bytes of a hard drive. Now that's bytes, not megabytes or even kilobytes. In our terabyte age, it's hard to appreciate how very small that is, but to give you an idea, at this point in the column, I've already written about three MBRs worth of text.
This 512-byte space then is split up into two smaller sections. The first 446 bytes of the MBR contain the boot code—code like the first stage of GRUB that allows you to load an operating system. The final 66 bytes contain a 64-byte partition table and a 2-byte signature at the very end. That partition table is full of information about the primary and extended partitions on a disk, such as at which cylinder they start, at which cylinder they end, what type of partition they are and other useful data you typically don't think much about after a disk is set up—at least, until it's gone.
This is the part of the column where I repeat some of the best disaster recovery advice I know—make backups. In this case, we are talking about MBR disasters, so here are a few ways to back up your MBR. After all, it's only 512 bytes; there's no reason why you can't afford to back it up. Heck, it's small enough to tattoo on your arm, except I guarantee once you do you'll end up migrating to a new system or changing the partition layout.
The best tool to back up the MBR is coincidentally the best tool at destroying it (more on that later), dd. In fact, dd is one of those ancient, powerful and blunt UNIX tools that blindly does whatever you tell it to, and it's adept at destroying all sorts of valuable data (more precisely, it's adept at following your explicit orders to destroy your valuable data). The following command backs up the MBR on the /dev/sda disk to a file named mbr_backup:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/sda of=mbr_backup bs=512 count=1
Basically, this tells dd to read from /dev/sda 512 bytes at a time and output the result into mbr_backup, but to do only one 512-byte read. Now you can copy mbr_backup to another system or print it out and do the tattoo thing I mentioned before. Later on, if you were to wipe out your MBR, you could restore it (likely from some sort of rescue disk) with a slight twist on the above command. Simply swap the input and output sources:
$ sudo dd if=mbr_backup of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1
There are a number of elaborate ways you can destroy some or all of your MBR. Please be careful with this first command. It actually deletes your MBR at the very least, and with a typo, it potentially could delete the entire disk, so step lightly. Let's start with the most blunt, dd:
$ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1
This command basically blanks out your MBR by overwriting it with zeros. Now, unless you are masochistic, or you are like me and used this in a demonstration of MBR recovery tools, you probably wouldn't ever run this command. Most people end up destroying part of their MBR in one of two ways: mistakes with bootloaders and mistakes with fdisk or other partitioning tools.
Mistakes with partitioning tools probably are the most common way people break their MBRs, or more specifically, their partition tables. It could be that you ran fdisk on sda when you meant to run it on sdb. It could be that you just made a mistake when resizing a partition, and after a reboot, it wouldn't mount. The important thing to keep in mind is that when you use partitioning tools, they typically update only the partition table on the drive. Even if you resize a drive, unless you tell a partitioning tool to reformat the drive with a fresh filesystem, the actual data on the drive doesn't change. All that has changed are those 64 bytes at the beginning of the drive that say where the partitions begin and end. So, if you make a partitioning mistake, your data is fine. You just have to reconstruct that partition table.
It would figure that the first time I really destroyed my MBR, it was through the second, less-common way—mistakes with bootloaders. In my case, it was a number of years ago, and I was struggling to get an early version of GRUB installed on a disk. After the standard command-line commands didn't work, I had the bright idea that maybe I could use the GRUB boot floppy image. After all, it was 512 bytes and so was my MBR, right? Well, it sort of worked. GRUB did appear; however, what I didn't realize was that in addition to writing GRUB over the first 446 bytes of my MBR, I also wrote over the last 66 bytes, my partition table. So although GRUB worked, it didn't see any partitions on the drive.

These are the types of articles I like reading as they always benefit me somehow in the future. Keep up the good work guys!
Good Reference Article
Great article. I was trying to learn about grub and gparted and MBR recovery and multibooting. I printed out many articles, from the internet, said that grub could be reinstalled, but they did not say what to do if the MBR is actually corrupted. I then remembered Kyles column in my hardcopy mag. Kyles column clearly addresses this. Again, good reference article. Thanks.
amazing article
very important article
i formated my drive before cause i donot know how to restore the patation table and the file system of the partation
thank you
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
