Fascioliasis is an important disease caused by Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica. The distributions of both species overlap in many areas of Asia and Africa including Egypt. Fifty adult Fasciola worms were collected from livers of cattle and sheep slaughtered in abattoirs, Cairo, Egypt. They were subjected to morphological and metric assessment of external features of fresh adults, morphological and metric assessment of internal anatomy of stained mounted worms, determination of electrophorezed bands of crude adult homogenates using SDS-PAGE, and molecular characterization of species-specific DNA segments using RFLP-PCR. It was found that the correlation between conventional morphology and its morphotype was statistically significant (P value = 0.00). Using SDS-PAGE, 13 bands were detected among both genotypes of Fasciola (35.7, 33.6, 32.4, 29.3, 27.5, 26, 24.4, 23, 21.45, 19, 16.75, 12.5, and 9.1 kDa).The most prevalent bands were that with a molecular weight of 29.3, 26, and 19 kDa. Bands detected were common for both species, but protein bands could not distinguish between F. hepatica and F. gigantica. The result of PCR for the amplification of the selected 28S rDNA fragment with the designed primer set yielded 618 bp long PCR products for F. hepatica and F. gigantica. Different band patterns generated after digestion of the 618 bp segment by the enzyme AvaII obtained with F. hepatica showed segments of the length 529, 62, 27 bp, while with F. gigantica 322, 269, 27 bp bands were obtained. Genotyping revealed no equivocal results. The conventional morphological parameters for species determination of Fasciola spp. endemic in Egypt were evaluated versus protein bands characterization and genotyping. It was concluded that conventional morphological and metric assessments were not useful for differentiation between F. gigantica and F. hepatica due to extensive overlap in the relative ranges. Similar conclusion was reached concerning protein band characterization where the patterns of protein banding were mostly similar. In contrast, genotyping using RFLP-PCR gave consistent results and clear differentiation between the two species. Considering the implications of proper speciation of endemic parasites on clinical evaluation, therapy, epidemiology, and control measures, speciation of parasites is currently revised on molecular basis. The presently used molecular tool is therefore recommended for further study to help draw a proper map for geographical distribution of Fasciola species.

Giardiasis is a gastrointestinal infection of wide distribution that is more prevalent in childhood. Easy and rapid diagnosis of giardiasis is essential for reduction of this infection. This cross-sectional study included 62 children in which collection of saliva, stool and serum samples was performed. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique was evaluated to detect IgA and IgG responses in both saliva and serum samples. Twenty-two children were positive for Giardia duodenalis infection by direct examination of faecal specimens, 20 non-infected and 20 infected with other parasites. Salivary and serum IgA and IgG responses against G. duodenalis infection were significantly higher in Giardia parasitized than non-Giardia parasitized children (p < 0.001). This concludes that specific salivary IgA may serve as a diagnostic tool and specific salivary IgG as a screening tool in monitoring the exposure of various populations to Giardia duodenalis. The advantage of salivary assays over serum immunoglobulin assay is being easy and non-invasive in sampling technique which is important especially for young children.

Eosinophils participate in the complex regulatory system that mediates inflammatory responses and parasitic infections. when activated eosinophils degranulate, they release Four highly basic proteins which include Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) as a major constitutent of secondary eosinophilic granules . In this study, the ECP levels were measured in both serum and urine of patients with lymphatic filariasis (LF) with different presentations and compared to their levels in normal individuals living in endemic areas (endemic normals), asthmatic patients as an example of allergic condition and normal individuals living in non-endemic areas (non-endemic controls). Serum ECP was found to be significantly elevated in all filarial cases with marked elevation in acute cases reflecting the ongoing pathological process. The asthmatic patients and to a lesser extent the endemic normals showed an elevated mean serum ECP. In addition, urinary levels of ECP were significantly elevated in the chyluria cases reflecting the pathological condition affecting the urinary tract. In conclusion: Measurement of serum and urine ECP can help in the diagnosis of infection with Wuchereria bancrofti and can also be used in the follow-up of pathological changes in lymphatic filariasis as its levels reflect the hidden tissue eosinophilic inflammatory reaction associated with this disease.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 60/891,859, filed Feb. 27, 2007, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
This invention was made with United States government support awarded by the following agency:
The United States government has certain fights in this invention.
The present invention relates to radiotherapy systems using ions for the treatment of cancer and the like and, in particular, to a phantom for such systems.
External beam radiation therapy may treat a tumor within the patient by directing high-energy radiation in one or more beams toward the tumor. Recent advance external beam radiation systems, for example, as manufactured by Tomotherapy, Inc., treat the tumor with multiple x-ray fan beams directed at the patient over an angular range of 360�. Each of the beams is comprised of individually modulated rays whose intensities can be controlled so that the combined affect of the rays over the range of angles provides an arbitrarily complex treatment area with minimized skin dose.
The benefit of the improved accuracy possible with such systems is ensured by careful characterization and monitoring of the x-ray beam geometry and intensity, for example, through portal imaging devices and entrance dose monitors.
X-rays expose tissue not only within the tumor but also along the path of each ray into and out of the patient. While judicious selection of the angles and intensities of the rays of x-ray radiation can limit radiation dose outside of the tumor, a desire to more closely conform the radiation dose to the tumor has raised interest in substituting ions such as protons for x-ray radiation. Unlike x-rays, the dose deposited by a proton beam is not uniform in homogenous tissue, but rises substantially, at the �Bragg peak� just before the proton stops within the tissue. Further, because the proton can be controlled to stop within the tissue, exit does from the proton beam can be substantially eliminated. These two features allow improved placement of dose within the tumor.
Unfortunately, unlike x-rays, ions are not easily characterized by entrance dose monitors and portal imaging device. In part, this is because such devices are sensitive largely to flux (photons per unit time) as opposed to radiation energy, and it is this latter characteristic which determines the important quality of proton range. Portal imaging systems, which rely on radiation exiting the patient, are of limited value in a proton imaging system in which the protons stop within the patient.
The present invention provides a phantom that may characterize the energy and hence the range of protons. The phantom uses a one or more tissue-mimicking material and an array of intensity detecting elements whose pattern of intensities may locate the Bragg peak. The location of the Bragg peak, in turn, reveals the proton energies. The phantom may be used to calibrate a proton or heavy ion therapy machine and/or may be used to better characterize a CT image used for treatment planning, by equating CT numbers to materials that have been characterized with respect to their interaction with protons.
Specifically then, the present invention provides a phantom including a tissue-mimicking support and a set of ion detectors spatially separated within the tissue-mimicking support to detect passage of ions through the tissue-mimicking support. A data processing system receiving signals from the ion detectors deduces a location within the phantom of a Bragg peak of ions passing through the tissue-mimicking support.
Thus it is one aspect of the invention to provide a measurement system suitable for next-generation ion radiation therapy machines to provide accurate characterization of the ion beam energies.
The tissue-mimicking support may include removable portions wherein the ion detectors are held within one removable portion to be repositioned within the tissue-mimicking support. The removable portions may provide materials representing different tissue types so that portions may mimic different tissue types.
It is thus an aspect of at least one embodiment of the invention to provide a phantom that can characterize the effect of different materials and material thicknesses on Bragg peak location. It is another aspect of at least one embodiment of the invention to allow the phantom to be configured to approximate the actual treatment volume.
The tissue-mimicking support may include fiducial markers allowing automated identification of the different materials in a CT image.
It is thus another object of the invention to allow the phantom to be used to calibrate planning CT images.
The ion detectors may be arrayed both along a direction of propagation of the ion beam and across the direction of propagation of the ion beam and the data processing system may fit a template multidimensional Bragg peak to the signals and spatial locations of the ion detectors to identify the Bragg peak.
It is thus an aspect of the present invention to provide for multidimensional characterization of the Bragg peak including range and beam widening. It is another aspect of the invention to allow characterization of the beam center line.
These particular features and advantages may apply to only some embodiments falling within the claims and thus do not define the scope of the invention.

The treatment head 26 may include a modulation assembly 30 for forming the proton beam 14 into a wider treatment beam (for example a fan or cone beam) and for modulating rays of the beam in energy and intensity to produce a modulated treatment beam 24 as will be described.
Referring still to
In one embodiment, a second rotating arm (not shown) may rotate with or independently of the rotating arm 20 to support an x-ray source 42 and x-ray detector 44 opposed across the axis 22 to illuminate the patient 32 at a range of angles to provide a CT scan of the patient 32 according techniques well-known in the art.
Referring now to
The treatment beam 50 then is received by the intensity modulator 48 which may, for example, be a set of shutters, one for each ray 52, controlling the amount of time the protons may pass along that ray 52 thus defining an average intensity of protons in each ray 52 as it also taught by the above referenced patent.
The modulated treatment beam 24 having rays 52 that are both intensity and energy modulated may be directed toward a phantom 60 of the present invention fixed at a known location with respect to the table 34. This precise location of the phantom may be assisted by means of laser line projectors 62 directing lasers toward an isocenter along axis 22, the isocenter being 64 defining the center of rotation of the treatment head 26 and matching with fiducial markings on the outside of the phantom 60 as will be described.
The range modulator 47 and intensity modulator 48 may be controlled by a control system 66 including a calibration memory 68 providing a conversion between the desired intensity and actual physical shutter settings of the range modulator 47 and intensity modulator 48. The control system 66 may receive a treatment plan 70 from a general purpose computer 72 executing a stored program as will the described to generate the treatment plan from one or more CT images 74 having a user-defined dose pattern 76 superimposed thereon. Computer 72 may also provide for a CT reconstruction by controlling and monitoring of x-ray source 42 and detector 44 described above and may provide other control functions generally understood in the arc.
Referring now to
One of the inserts 82 may be a detection insert 82′ providing a series of ion detectors or MOSFET or scintillation detectors embedded in the insert 82′ and communicating through cabling 84 with a data acquisition system associated with computer 72, as shown in

As indicated by process block 114, the radiation therapy machine 10 is then used to irradiate the phantom 60 to determine the Bragg peak location for the phantom 60 as calibrated at step 113. This Bragg peak information is used for two purposes. In its initial purpose, as indicated by process block 116, the Bragg peak measurements are extracted and used as to adjust and calibrate the modulation assembly 30 through, for example, adjustment of calibration factor table 68 described with respect to
The Bragg peak information is also used as indicated by process block 118 to improve the radiation planning process. In this use, materials of the planning CT of the patient taken at process block 111 are matched to the known materials on the phantom 60 by matching grayscale values of the calibration CT image taken at process block 113 with the planning CT image taken at process block 111. An improved model of the patient is thereby produced and used to evaluate different beam intensities and ranges according to a planning loop 120 which in its simplest form uses a Monte Carlo or simple similar technique to perturb intensities and ranges of the beams and to model those iteratively against the model produced. Alternatively as disclosed in the previously cited U.S. Pat. No. 5,668,371 the beam ranges may be placed using distal edge algorithm described in that patent and the intensities alone may be iteratively modeled using the attenuating properties all the materials alone.
It is specifically intended that the present invention not be limited to the embodiments and illustrations contained herein, but include modified forms of those embodiments including portions of the embodiments and combinations of elements of different embodiments as come within the scope of the following claims.

It is Midsummer's Eve. Three young friends meet in a wood to act out an elaborate masque. But, unknown to them, they are being watched. Each is killed by a single bullet. Soon afterwards, one of Inspector Wallander's colleagues is found murdered. Is it the same killer, and what could the connection be? In this investigation Wallander is always, tantalisingly, one step behind.

craftsman 1/2 GDO opens at random
jacygaloJuly 27, 2007
Just recently purchased older home. For the first 3 months no problem - just recently GDO opens and closes on its own. There is no pattern just happens whenever. Any thoughts? We do not have an owners manual for our model 13953636SRT.
This is generally caused by a bad wall control or the wiring from the wall control to the opener. You can first of all eliminate the wall control by removing it from the wall and then disconnecting the two wires going to it. Leave it that way for a few days. If the problem persists you can remove those 2 wires from the opener. They sometimes have a staple that has cut through the insulation and shorts the two wires together. They are connected to terminals 1 and 2 on the opener.

It also provides a stamp of approval of sorts from two of the state's three major parties.
Steve Carlson, the IP candidate, stunned his party by snatching the primary from the IP's endorsed candidate, Kevin Terrell. Carlson is a self-described Tea Party candidate who, in a three-way race, would be more likely to draw votes from the Republican than the Democratic candidate.
The party has been distancing itself from Carlson since his primary win and appears to have stripped his name and likeness from its website.
On Monday, Jack Uldrich, a former Minnesota IP chairman, announced he would support McFadden and not Carlson.
"As a long-time political independent, I'm endorsing Mike McFadden because he has the integrity to reach across party lines and do what is right for Minnesotans and future generations," Uldrich said.
David Dillon, who ran as the IP candidate for the Third Congressional District in 2008 but lost to Republican Erik Paulsen, said he too would support McFadden, but not because he opposed Carlson.
"Not for me, it really has got zero to do with it," Dillon said. No matter who came through the Independence Party primary, he said, " I still would have endorsed McFadden because he's that good."
Dillon said he is untroubled that McFadden stood next to Johnson one day after announcing his IP support.
"I'm interested in better policy out of the Senate instead of dogmatic, which is what we've got," Dillon said. He said McFadden was "the better policy guy" but added that "if he's out there with the dogmatic guy because he needs the votes, he needs the money — that's politics."

|Blog Posts
Part of Huffington Post's success was its vibrance and its position outside the establishment. It has now not only joined an establishment, but joined one where most people feel about as close to the brand as they do to Walmart.
A rather troubling aspect of the whole episode has been the baffling message, repeated by Huffington in an editorial on the site today, that this merger is "1 + 1 = 11". One hopes that this does not mean, for the sake of the HuffPo staff and the AOL shareholders, that the deal is quite literally nonsense."
The Huffington Post has certainly changed with respect to its Autism Big News Page . One of the most obvious changes is the assertion of content control by the elimination of the autism blogs directory at the bottom of the page. Even this humble autism blog could be found in that directory on occasion. There was no apparent attempt to control the blogs that were featured in that directory with a variety of blog site perspectives shown on a perpetually rotating basis. Now, unlike some other Big News Pages at the HP the rotating autism blogs directory is gone. At the same time the content appears to have changed. The days when a David Kirby and others could ask questions about autism and vaccine safety appear to have disappeared. Featured prominently near the top of the page is the recent IOM rehash of studies ... which has purportedly determined for all time that there is not, has never been, and can never be, forever and ever Amen, any remotely possible association between autism and vaccines, vaccine schedules, vaccine ingredients, vulnerable population subgroups or vaccine ingredients including those those vaccines containing ingredients which cross the placenta and which are given to pregnant women. Vaccine autism discussion is now officially dead at the Huff.
To its credit the Huff Autism Big News page still contains some articles about increasing autism rates but look for that to change as the AOL-HP managers ultimately realize that real increases in autism, by necessary implication, involve possible environmental factors. Such factors could include anything in the air, water, or food supply that we consume. They could include toys and jewelry. They could even include ingredients of prescription drugs and ... things injected into pregnant women and young children. When the realization that commercial interests could be implicated sinks in look for the autism prevalence studies to disappear or morph back into the "its gotta be genetic" mandate that ruled autism research funding over the past decades.
Look too for more "community" blogs with feel good stories about autism. Don't look for stories that describe the harsh realities of severe autistic disorder or the lives of so many persons with actual autistic disorders spent dependent on the care of others. Look for another generation of stories about Temple Grandin and the new wave of DSM5 autistics like the John Elder Robisons, Ari Ne'emans, Alex Planks and other very high functioning persons featured by Autism Speaks and the mainstream media.
Don't look for autism reality at the Huffington Post Autism Big News page any more. Look for autism nonsense, autism feel good fluff, just like most large media sites.
The Huffington Post Autism Big News Page ain't what it used to be.

Elinor Wrobel OAM has fought all her life for the preservation of beautiful old things, often fighting a fierce battle to do so.
Broadcast date: Thursday 21 January 2010
Former nurse, art collector and curator Elinor Wrobel helped establish Sydney's Powerhouse Museum.
More recently Elinor devoted herself to saving Sydney Hospital's collection of unique medical specimens which had been stored away in a dusty attic. Her success resulted in the Sydney Hospital Museum.
Her family often joke that she should have the letters S.N. after her name - standing for 'Serial Nuisance'!

So in summary... the article you posted was wrong. Dreaded Anomaly Send a noteboard - 11/02/2012 02:18:00 AM
See the WaPo article below.
And here's how it works after the compromise: "Our policy is saying that the Catholic hospital doesn't want to cover contraceptives, and they don't include that in their policy. It also says that Aetna needs to provide contraceptive services for free to workers in the plan. Aetna sets the premium, but it cannot be higher than it would have been without birth control. The premium does not include contraception."
And, in the end, that leaves Aetna with the bill. "There is a sort of bank account," says the official, "and Aetna is sucking it up."
And, in the end, that leaves Aetna with the bill. "There is a sort of bank account," says the official, "and Aetna is sucking it up."
That sounds good, but the White House says a lot of things; in 2008 Obama said Democrats should nominate him instead of Hillary because his healthcare plan did not carry a public mandate and hers did.
"Aetna sets the premium, but it cannot be higher than it would have been without birth control." Just how are they verifying that? Remember, these are the same people who proudly declared health insurance available to everyone because they removed insurer freedom to deny coverage—WITHOUT establishing the very kind of price restrictions mentioned here, thereby allowing insurers to price people out of the market rather than denying them coverage outright. One of the healthcare "reforms" most critical failings is the near total absence of anything to slow, let alone halt or reverse, the growth in prices. Since they have done a complete 180° on this issue in just 48 hours, I will not believe that statement any more than I believed the last one until they demonstrate its veracity. Talk is cheap; it almost has to be with Obamas policies, because there is nothing to them BUT talk.
If you don't want to believe them, that's your prerogative. You still have no factual basis to claim that people will have to pay for coverage. The entire point of the preventive care rule is that it eliminates copays; it seems to me that they are pretty dedicated to making sure that applies evenly.
What you see as a complete 180, others see as savvy political maneuvering. (See article below.)
Democrats bailing on Obama - War against the Catholic Church heats up 09/02/2012 04:03:35 AM - 720 Views
This is not a war on Catholics, it is Obama being an idiot again. 09/02/2012 04:52:01 AM - 139 Views
For someone who used to be a Con Law professor 10/02/2012 08:23:34 PM - 100 Views
In general, I disagree with that view, but not in this particular case. 11/02/2012 02:02:42 AM - 130 Views
Also, kudos for linking to a source, and a fairly non-partisan one as well. 09/02/2012 01:33:07 PM - 173 Views
I am a non-partisan guy, so I only use unbiased sources! *NM* 09/02/2012 04:02:50 PM - 70 Views
Is there really such a thing? *NM* 09/02/2012 04:11:30 PM - 67 Views
Wanting both parties to be hit by a bus does not make one non-partisan. 09/02/2012 10:05:28 PM - 101 Views
You lost all credibility in the first line of your post. 09/02/2012 04:49:23 PM - 174 Views
The subject line didn't help. *NM* 09/02/2012 06:04:11 PM - 70 Views
But it added some flair to the discussion! *NM* 09/02/2012 07:46:47 PM - 67 Views
You actually think any of us has 'credibility' anymore in regards to neutrality? *NM* 09/02/2012 06:46:13 PM - 57 Views
It's one thing to have a bias. 09/02/2012 07:28:51 PM - 134 Views
Some would say putting a spotlight on it is more honest. *NM* 09/02/2012 09:34:17 PM - 68 Views
Ah, the Rupert Murdoch School of Objectivity. 09/02/2012 10:15:57 PM - 95 Views
Wow, talk about making a supernova out of a couple hydrogen atoms. 09/02/2012 08:41:44 PM - 126 Views
The Catholic Church wants to eliminate the birth control coverage requirement entirely. 10/02/2012 12:24:01 AM - 135 Views
Sounds like they just do not want Catholics directly financing; great argument for public healthcare 10/02/2012 02:27:36 AM - 98 Views
I'm somewhat suprised that Obama blundered this badly. 10/02/2012 01:40:14 AM - 102 Views
Why? Have you not been paying attention? 10/02/2012 02:03:43 AM - 101 Views
If I am not satisfied with Romney then my Plan B is to not vote. 10/02/2012 10:58:34 PM - 106 Views
How does that help anything? Except Romneys election chances, of course. 11/02/2012 01:08:22 AM - 80 Views
Bullshit. 11/02/2012 04:29:31 AM - 106 Views
A vote for no one is a vote for more BS. 11/02/2012 05:55:11 AM - 132 Views
No everynametaken this is not unconsitutional according to the first ammendment 11/02/2012 12:14:29 AM - 103 Views
Obama doing this actually impresses me to no end. 10/02/2012 02:21:10 AM - 215 Views
He is already preparing to cave. 10/02/2012 02:42:32 AM - 118 Views
Why are you even replying to me? What you said has little meaning to what I said. 10/02/2012 03:33:27 AM - 105 Views
"And here I thought he was just another politician." 10/02/2012 01:29:36 PM - 100 Views
Aaaaand you can put your hat back on now: Obama has already caved. 10/02/2012 04:04:30 PM - 156 Views
Yup, the cave already happened.....you could have set your watch to this! *NM* 10/02/2012 05:00:02 PM - 49 Views
Actually, no, I could not; I expected it to take another week or two. 11/02/2012 01:27:31 AM - 92 Views
No, you don't have to buy it from insurers. You get it for free, just like everyone else will. *NM* 10/02/2012 09:55:53 PM - 65 Views
"The employees can then buy the coverage directly from an insurer." 11/02/2012 01:25:52 AM - 164 Views
Then that article is wrong. 11/02/2012 01:43:40 AM - 167 Views
Two days ago the White House said it would not back down from requiring school/hospital compliance. 11/02/2012 01:57:50 AM - 167 Views
So in summary... the article you posted was wrong. 11/02/2012 02:18:00 AM - 118 Views
To soon to tell, but if you think so feel free to demand a correction from them. 11/02/2012 03:12:40 AM - 115 Views
Losing the exchanges is a pretty big loss 11/02/2012 03:30:15 AM - 96 Views
So they refuse to cover it for the next two years, then do an about face in 2014. 11/02/2012 03:57:53 AM - 161 Views
If Aetna does not provide the free contraception as part of the compromise 11/02/2012 02:46:14 AM - 93 Views
Yeah, I saw that; if Aetna does not do as Obama says by 2014 they lose out on free profits then. 11/02/2012 03:13:36 AM - 96 Views
So Jehovah Witness employers should not have to pay for blood transfusions? 10/02/2012 03:57:47 AM - 127 Views
Not if it conflicts with their religious beliefs. 10/02/2012 04:20:32 PM - 123 Views
Money is not the same as speech! 10/02/2012 07:20:56 PM - 115 Views
And actions are different from both—until others are expected to pay for ones actions. 11/02/2012 12:53:40 AM - 104 Views
No it isn't Joel, empirically you are dead wrong 10/02/2012 11:24:19 PM - 110 Views
I do not see how requiring private entities do it instead of the feds is "least restrictive way." 11/02/2012 12:53:22 AM - 104 Views
Catholic Charities of Sacramento Inc. v. Superior Court 11/02/2012 01:21:46 AM - 112 Views
"the Court found that it wasn't a religious organization, it was just a non-profit corporation." 11/02/2012 01:36:33 AM - 89 Views
The situation was identical to the pre obama controversy 11/02/2012 02:42:57 AM - 72 Views
The affiliation is the sticking point. 11/02/2012 03:41:33 AM - 95 Views
One last point 10/02/2012 11:35:25 PM - 98 Views
The federal government forcing private groups to facilitate without committing sin also infringes. 11/02/2012 01:03:30 AM - 89 Views
You argument does not make sense 11/02/2012 01:26:57 AM - 135 Views
It was an analogy, not an equivalency. 11/02/2012 01:48:14 AM - 96 Views

You believe it can't help people since it is not single payer? *NM* 11/02/2012 04:31:13 AM - 66 Views
Since you answered this in your other response I will just adress it there. *MN* 11/02/2012 05:59:37 AM - 94 Views
Some more points 11/02/2012 02:30:27 AM - 119 Views
Sex is not a necessity either. 11/02/2012 03:56:51 AM - 101 Views
I can't believe you just said that 11/02/2012 04:30:12 AM - 74 Views
The widespread inability to believe that is deeply worrisome. 11/02/2012 06:33:01 AM - 124 Views
LMAO due to Obama's compromise (the word compromise should have a in it ) 11/02/2012 12:12:57 AM - 115 Views
Obama just got two weeks of being portrayed as "anti-church" to the point even Dems complained. 11/02/2012 02:00:28 AM - 96 Views
The polls disagree with you. 11/02/2012 02:32:59 AM - 106 Views
It is an interesting article, but not for the polls. 11/02/2012 04:18:17 AM - 101 Views
I wouldn't put too much into that poll anyway 11/02/2012 05:37:05 AM - 159 Views
Frankly, I hope Obamacare DOES die, just not because of the public mandate. 11/02/2012 07:18:04 AM - 120 Views
I haven't really heard about it outside of this post, so the negative exposure can't be too bad. 11/02/2012 05:56:58 PM - 78 Views
There seems to be plenty of Hell raising over it, but you are in the States and I am not. 11/02/2012 07:55:51 PM - 77 Views
you have, sort of. 11/02/2012 08:23:25 PM - 112 Views
I don't think it's quite the laughing matter you think it is 11/02/2012 12:31:23 PM - 122 Views
Nossy that was not Joel, that was me 11/02/2012 01:56:39 PM - 166 Views
I know that. 11/02/2012 03:23:32 PM - 161 Views
Understood. 11/02/2012 07:51:14 PM - 105 Views
mmm... 11/02/2012 08:20:26 PM - 103 Views
The man talked about during the campaign was the one elected with a mandate. 12/02/2012 02:28:15 AM - 102 Views
I think Obama (for once) was far more clever you give him credit for... 15/02/2012 05:11:10 PM - 141 Views
Surrendering on liberal issues then blaming Republicans is not just Obamas strategy, but his POLICY. 15/02/2012 07:23:04 PM - 146 Views

"Everything in the world is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power." - Oscar Wilde. EARTH: 2438. The world is different now: ruled by a ruthless and merciless monster. All Evelyn Blackburn wanted was freedom. But how could you escape from the oldest vampire in existence and the King of the most powerful race ever to walk the Earth...? The tables have turned. Vampires had risen from the night to rule the planet that was theirs to control from the beginning The 25th Century was an era of hierarchy, prejudice, greed and suffering. She was a rose, stuck between thorns. The tall, dark and handsome King with no soul, no compassion, no capability to love and appreciate; a man who was obsessively possessive. A charming Lord, with captivating green eyes, a kind soul, tousled dark hair and a dimpled smile shall tug at your heart strings. The childhood sweetheart, the man whom Evelyn believed was the one for her, the man she shall marry... Until Fate intervened. (Contain explicit violence and sexual nature: read at your own risks."

Intro: Read it or Leave it
Happy New Year, everyone! 2013 has truly been one of the greatest of my life, and it wouldn't nearly have been as fantastic without you all. Whether you're a long time friend, a new watcher, or simply a passerby, I want to thank each of you from the bottom of my heart. You all mean more to me than I can express in words.
New Year's seems like a perfect holiday to celebrate with you all, because really, all the other holidays only celebrate a fraction of my love and gratitude for your company and support. And what better way to celebrate than to hold my first contest? I have literally been planning this since July, and I am so incredibly excited to finally launch it!
General Rules and Pointers
As you can tell, this is something of an intricate mega-contest. Fear not, I will guide you all through!
This contest runs from January 1st, 2014 to January 1st, 2015!

2010 End-of-year Wigs ReviewEdit: Added some wig shops I missed. XD And some more wig pics donated by astachan <32010 End-of-year Wigs Review4 years ago in Personal More Like This
As promised, here's the wig review for this past year(2010) I was supposed to post this up before new year, but...yeah, I was late as usual. XD Hope everyone is having a good 2011 so far!
I'll try to make this as simple as possible.(but I seem to always write long journal..) This review will include 3 sections: Japanese shops, Ebay shops, and Taobao(China) shops. I will put link on how to buy from these online shops. Link to their websites is on the title of their shop. Also, if you click on the image of the wig, it will show you the link to the exact wig that I bought from that shop(if it's still available). The price range of wigs is estimated with shipping(+other fees) to the USA. My head size is around 22", a bit bigger than average person's head, but I have short hair, so keep that in mind when comparing size of wig cap.

I am officially starting up a contest because i want to so here we go.
This is a contest all about your own OC. This can be a character, creature, or your own MLP or whatever. I'm flexible on content as long as it's your own. It does not have to be specifically made for this contest although it must have been made in the last two months. Older than that is too stale, show me something new!
Medium not important, nor is content, though it MUST BE SAFE FOR WORK.
You must be following me to enter, I will check.
You must favorite or share this journal as a 'i am at the very least planning on participating!'
This contest ends January 15th, 2014. I will be the sole judge unless for some crazy reason this becomes larger of a project than i expect.
1st place: 250 pts + drawing of your OC by me or a feature in my journal of your art.
2nd place: 150 pts
3rd place: 100 points.
I like to see backgrounds, color, and shading. If you do use traditional medium, I cannot emphasiz

My classic Batgirl suit and my Mera suit are finished so far. (except for a few little changes on Mera's sleeves). Don't worry, the yellow pouch will be exchanged with a red one (The yellow one is for my black suit). I just wanted to see how it looks complete. For Batgirl the only thing I have to do now is the cape. I am really looking forward to wear the whole costume!
I also finished Dove's base suit. I'll work on the accessoires in the following days and hope to finish it quickly. <3 I love Babs, Dawn and Mera sooooo much! I'm so inspired and motivated at the moment. Great start into 2013!

Are there places were street photography is impossible? Are there countries easier than others, or harder than others? How is it street shooting like in exotic places, or places you never visited, places that are completely different from what you are used to? I asked a few street photographers around the world to share with us their experiences.

Japan is a fascinating country with an unusual mix of the traditional and modern. It's a magical place filled with anime, cosplayers, samurai, sushi, and all the strangest things imaginable. Wrong!

Authors: Al. Jaboiry, Saif S. Abstract: Great development had been witnessed in the field o f technology and communications. On the other hand, many questions about the problems occur while using these technologies. One o f these technologies that are being used in the present time, which plays an important role in human life, is the Communications Technology (CT). Many technologies are involved under Communication Technology. However the most significant thing about CT is how the message is sent to the recipient and how the communication processes occurs. Mobile phone is one of the types of communication technologies. We now see many mobile phone manufacturing companies which are competing with each other in the industry to produce the best mobile phone by adding new features and facilities. Most of these phones (Nokia, Sony Ericsson, SAMSUNG, Apple, HTC, BlackBerry, etc) are very similar to the computer in terms o f user interface and application. 2015-02-24T00:00:00Z Development Of A Graphical Simulator For Time Domain Reflectometry(TDR) Testing OF XLPE Cable Nurzanariah Binti Roslan http://dspace.uniten.edu.my/xmlui/handle/123456789/7334 2015-02-24T06:42:43Z 2015-02-24T00:00:00Z Title: Development Of A Graphical Simulator For Time Domain Reflectometry(TDR) Testing OF XLPE Cable Authors: Nurzanariah Binti Roslan Abstract: This research focuses on the development of a graphical simulator for TDR testing of XLPE cables using MATLAB GUI. The purpose of this simulator is to help the users especially to new field engineers and technicians in generating the wave propagation characteristics of XLPE cables as well as to understand the concept of TDR testing. Therefore, the significance of this research is to obtain wave propagation characteristics as well as characteristic impedance of XLPE cable which believed have affects in TDR measurement. These values were significant in order to establish the relationship between incident and reflected pulses due to open end of TDR circuit model. 2015-02-24T00:00:00Z A Case Study on the Implementation of Web-Enabled IBM S/390 Marina Md Din http://dspace.uniten.edu.my/xmlui/handle/123456789/7298 2015-02-23T06:57:51Z 2015-02-23T00:00:00Z Title: A Case Study on the Implementation of Web-Enabled IBM S/390 Authors: Marina Md Din Abstract: Recently the rapid growth of the Internet access and web technologies is giving companies new ways of doing business.

"I think he was respected," said Marc-Antoine Godin, the Canadiens' beat writer for La Presse who covered Koivu for many years. "He was recognized as being a very courageous person. But he was not loved.
"I think there was something missing in the sense that fans in Montreal are so craving of the superstars so much. They want to see players put on a show. They loved Alex Kovalev because of all his moves, forgetting the fact the four times out of five his moves would not work. They would go 'ooh' and 'aah.' He was entertaining.
"[Koivu] was more like a battler. A guy that would go heard-first in the trenches. It's a different type of appreciation that they had for him."
Montreal Gazette columnist Red Fisher, who has covered the Canadiens for 55 years, said "what you got from Koivu during his decade as captain, was everything he had -- on and off the ice, including many millions the Saku Koivu Foundation raised to combat the killer disease he conquered.
"What you didn't get was excuses, phony grandstanding, whimpering or pointing a finger at teammates," Fisher added. "What you got was someone born to wear the 'C'."
Koivu said he always wanted to lead by example and it often meant battling injuries he often incurred because he wasn't one to shy away from contact and played much larger than his 5-foot-10, 182-pound frame.
"Even if you lost, if you gave everything that you got, they appreciated it and respected you for that," he said. "I think that was the one aspect of my game that maybe gave the fans appreciation."
Teemu Selanne said he's spoken to his teammate and longtime friend about what the night might be like and that it has been clearly on his mind.
"I wouldn't say he's nervous," Selanne said. "But for sure, there's going to butterflies and a lot of feelings there. Obviously he played there for a long time. I'm very happy I'm going to be part of it because it's going to be really, really special."
It might Game 51 on the Ducks' schedule but Koivu isn't going to pretend that this one will be far different from any of the other 912 that's he dressed for in his career.
"Obviously it's kind of considered one game out of an 82-game season," he said. "But it's not that. It's going to be a night that I will remember for the rest of my life."

Thank You Vincent.
Like I said on the other thread,'they are the ONLY ones who are there when seconds count'! Just let them exercise their 'right', if they so chose!
An armed society is not always a polite society, but it is a free and safe society!
Self Defense is an absolute and natural right!
Keep your head down and your powder dry!
That would be great for the school and much better if the teachers are well trained with guns. School shootings are naturally heartbreaking. Now, South Dakota would like to even the arena. According to reports, the state has made instructors packing heat a lawful exercise. Article resource:South Dakota Allows Teachers To Carry Guns
I don't care if it's teachers, armed security, or L.E.O's, as long as SOMEBODY'S ARMED and willing to protect our schools.
The elite, famous, rich and political leaches get protection why can't we protect our children they are more important then some leach in washington telling me what I can and can't do.
Guess where the next school shooting WON'T be?
