Michael Wood
The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth day of April in the year 2015 by Shire reckoning. Marshall Ave, Observatory Hill, North Side, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Third Age of this world. "There and back again, An Artist's tale, by Mikey Wood". Now, where to begin? Ah, yes. "Concerning Mikey Wood". Mikey has been living and drawing in Pittsburgh for many years. Quite content to ignore and be ignored by the world of the Big Folk (Pittsburgh being, after all, full of strange creatures beyond count) Mikey must seem of little importance, being neither renowned as a great warrior, nor counted amongst the very wise. In fact, it has been remarked by some that Mikey's only real passion is for food. A rather unfair observation as he have also developed a keen interest in the selling of art prints and the drawing of sketch cards. But where his heart truly lies is in peace and quiet and a good pile of old comics. For he, like all proud nerds, shares a love of all things pop culture. And yes, no doubt to others, our ways seem quaint. But this weekend, of all days, it is brought home to me that it is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life." (Yes, it's from the Hobbit)

Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital have found, for the first time that young humans (infants, children and adolescents) are capable of generating new heart muscle cells. These findings refute the long-held belief that the human heart grows after birth exclusively by enlargement of existing cells, and raise the possibility that scientists could stimulate production of new cells to repair injured hearts.
Findings of the study, "Cardiomyocyte proliferation contributes to post-natal heart growth in young humans," were published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Online Early Edition, the week of Jan 7-Jan 11, 2013. The study was led by Bernhard Kühn, MD, of the Department of Cardiology at Boston Children's.
Beginning in 2009, Dr. Kühn and his team looked at specimens from healthy human hearts, ranging in age from 0 to 59 years. Using several laboratory assays, they documented that cells in these hearts were still dividing after birth, significantly expanding the heart cell population. The cells regenerated at their highest rates during infancy. Regeneration declined after infancy, rose during the adolescent growth spurt, and continued up until around age 20.
The findings offer the strongest evidence to date that proliferation of cardiomyocytes (the cells making up heart muscle) contributes to growth in healthy young human hearts.
"For more than 100 years," Kühn says, "people have been debating whether human heart muscle cells are generated after birth or whether they simply grow larger." Kühn points out that research in the 1930s and 1940s suggested that cardiomyocyte division may continue after birth, and recent reports about myocardial regeneration in zebrafish and neonatal mice suggest that some young animals regenerate heart muscle by using mechanisms of muscle cell division. Still, for many years, the accepted belief in the scientific community was that human hearts grow after birth only because cells grow larger.
Kühn's work challenges the accepted wisdom and offers hope for new treatments for heart failure. Babies and children may be able to increase heart muscle cell proliferation and regenerate damaged parts of their heart muscle. In addition, the study points to new research directions by suggesting that abnormal cardiomyocyte proliferation may be involved in diseases of the heart muscle (cardiomyopathy) that affect young humans, and that cardiomyocyte proliferation could be stimulated in young humans for the treatment of heart failure.
The findings, according to Kühn, help to create a "cellular blueprint for how the human heart grows after birth." Using this blueprint, treatment strategies could be developed to treat heart failure in children

Kissin' Dynamite have earned a recognition which goes beyond borders, convincing with their energetic, thrilling performances. But now the time has come for something new!
The time has come to leave old things behind and to open the next chapter in their career.

Simply entering the command "hg serve" in the folder of your project, will enable you to view all this on http://127.0.0.1:8000/
I have some issues here.
1) It seems like you can only do this for a single project at a time, since this reserves port 8000. So if I have a number of different projects that I want multiple people to be able to view at all times, what do I do?
2) The "files" overview lists all existing files right after each other. No tree structure or anything, it just lists them in one long line, going to newlines only by the fact that the CSS of the box has a max-width set. Is there a way around this, or am I stuck with it?

So I kegged my first two batches on Sunday. Right now I have them both stored in my dining room which stays in the high 70's to low 80's most of the day.
I did some reading on carbonation, and looked at the helpful charts at various sites on the internet. The only problem is that none of the charts even come close to the temperature that I am storing the beer at. I extrapolated that I need to have the beer at roughly 30 PSI to carbonate in this high of a temperature.
Does anyone else carbonate in such high temps? If so what is your experience? How long should I keep the pressure at 30 PSI? How long does it actually take for the beer to carbonate? Once It has carbonated should I take the pressure down, and to what level?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Unfortunatley, I do not have the ability to cool them. Maybe in the future, but for now, can anyone give me some advise on how long it will take to carbonate at higher temps of almost 80 degrees?
how are you planning to cool the kegs for dispensing? I can't imagine you plan to drink 80 degree beer...
the warmer the beer, the harder it is to get CO2 into solution,a nd the more rapidly it wants to come out.
you might be better off just putting enough CO2 in them to bleed off all the air inside, so they don't oxidize.
then when you can cool them, force carb then.
Check craigslist.org for a location near you and watch for free refrigerators listed in the Free Stuff section. They go pretty fast, so you have to contact them as soon as you see an acceptable one listed to have the best chance of getting it. Then, just hook it up in the garage and throw your keg (with CO2 tank) inside to keep cold. Can't beat the price!
A week and you'll probably want to run the pressure up to 40 psi or so, if you plan on serving around 45F.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
My plan was to carbonate the beer then on drinking day put it on ice. I know my friends will drink it in one sitting. I may try to get a free fridge as there seems to one or two freebee fridges up there everyday.
For now I have decided to bleed off the presure to about 10 PSI until a week prior to my planned drinking day. Then I'll kick it up to 30 PSI for a week. Hopefully it won't be too carbonated or too flat. I may actually ice it 24 hours ahead of time so that I can taste it first and see if I need to make any last minute adjustments.
Thanks for all the tips!
I found this equation on the web which allows you to go outside the bounds of the charts:
P = Pressure needed (psi)
T = Temperature of keg in °F
V = Volumes of CO2 desired
Using this, 30 PSI gets you about 2.25 volumes at 80F, which is a reasonable level for most styles. Course, that will drop rapidly as you chill the beer. I like david's idea about jacking it up to 40 psi. Also, make sure you drop the psi to serving pressure (8-10 psi) and BLEED THE EXCESS PRESSURE from the relief valve before you pour. Otherwise, you'll have a beer fire hose, and your wedding party will go thirsty
I don't have a kegerator and I do what you do. My storage room sits at 73F so I force carb my beers at 32PSI which promash says gives me 2.5 volumes. When I'm ready to serve I drop it down to about 8PSI and bleed the pressure from the headspace. Never had a problem.

The condition of the clubs was better than I expected. The G5 Ping clubs themselves are a bit like cheating. I went out to play without having even used them at the driving range. My handicap is 18 (I've never been lower than that) and I went round in 16 over. I went out the day after and went round in 8 over. Next round 10 over. I just cannot miss the green and never top the ball with the Wedge anymore. Also hitting nearly 200yards with a 4 iron (straight as well which used to be once in a blue moon). As long as I follow through properly I don't even have to think about turning/rolling my wrists anymore. I caveat this by saying I've only ever had one set of clubs which I inherited are which are now 30 years old. Clearly they were either awful or far too good for me to use. If it's cheating I don't care, absolutely loving my golf now.

Main Street, not Wall Street, should fix crumbling U.S. infrastructure
Repairs will cost trillions. Public pension funds can help pave the way.
Topeka, Kan. and Washington
At its best, America's infrastructure has powered our economic prosperity, created well-paying jobs, and served the public interest.
Today, however, it has fallen into a dangerous state of disrepair. The Minnesota bridge collapse last summer brought home the urgency of repairing and modernizing our nation's system of highways, bridges, tunnels, power plants, transmission lines, and airports.
But doing so will be prohibitively expensive. Current plans seek to exploit the nation's need for private profit. But there's a better source of capital at hand: public pension funds.
The American Society of Civil Engineers estimates that $1.6 trillion is needed in the next five years alone just to maintain the adequacy of existing infrastructure.
But even if every bridge was repaired, it still would not be enough – trillions more will be required to build the new systems necessary to keep our economy competitive. As anyone who commutes every day knows, we need to reduce congestion on our roads and in the air, speed the transportation of people and goods, increase energy efficiency, and do so in ways that are environmentally sustainable.
The thought of coming up with the money necessary for all this, makes people wince – understandably. This is a time when many states face budget shortfalls and our federal deficit is at an all-time high.
Leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties know the US cannot raise money from traditional public sources of financing, including municipal bonds, user fees, and taxes.
The financiers on Wall Street already have positioned themselves to take advantage of this national crisis for their own gain. Where most Americans see crumbling bridges and traffic congestion, the money managers see a treasure trove of fees, profits, and more record bonuses for CEOs.

Mindfulness & Acceptance Workbook for Anxietyby John Forsyth
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Statistics suggests that as many as 2.5 percent of American women suffer from anorexia; of these, further research indicates that one in ten of these will die from the disorder. This is the only book available that addresses the particular needs of anorexics with the techniques of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), a revolutionary new psychotherapy. The authors of this book are pioneering researchers in the field of ACT, with numerous research articles to their credit
Despite ever-widening media attention and public awareness of the problem, American women continue to suffer from anorexia nervosa in greater numbers than ever before. This severe psychophysiological condition-characterized by an abnormal fear of becoming obese, a persistent unwillingness to eat, and severe compulsion to lose weight-is particularly difficult to treat, often because the victims are unwilling to seek help. The Anorexia Workbook demonstrates that efforts to control and stop anorexia may do more harm than good. Instead of focusing efforts on judging impulses associated with the disorder as 'bad' or 'negative,' this approach encourages sufferers to mindfully observe these feelings without reacting to them in a self-destructive way. Guided by this more compassionate, more receptive frame of mind, the book coaches you to employ various acceptance-based coping strategies.
Structured in a logical, step-by-step progression of exercises, the workbook first focuses on providing you with a new understanding of anorexia and the ways you might have already tried to control the problem. Then the book progresses through techniques that teach how to use mindfulness to deal with out-of-control thoughts and feelings, how to identify choices that lead to better heath and quality of life, and how to redirect the energy formerly spent on weight loss into actions that will heal the body and mind. Although this book is written specifically as self-help for anorexia sufferers, it includes a clear and informative chapter on when you need to seek professional treatment as well as advice on what to look for in a therapist.
Building on the success of their book for professionals, leaders in the field of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) John Forsyth and Georg Eifert present this exciting and innovative ACT workbook to general readers. It is the first self-help workbook to adapt the revolutionary techniques of ACT into a powerful program readers can use to overcome any of the anxiety disorders.
Bullets] A powerful, step-by- step program to help you: * Understand why trying to control anxiety can keep you stuck and suffering * Break free from the anxiety struggle and the trap of avoidance * Practice mindful acceptance and a willingness to do what works * Discover what you care deeply about and commit to making it happen * Live a rich and meaningful life--even with anxiety, fear, and worry [Starburst] Includes CD with guided mindfulness meditations and bonus worksheets and self-assessments
Anxiety is one of the most prevalent mental health issues faced by society today. In The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Workbook for Anxiety, three MBSR experts provide powerful mindfulness meditations and exercises to help sooth anxiety, understand common triggers, and live more fully in the moment.

The easy-to-use self-help exercises in Mind-Body Workbook for Anxiety will teach readers how to stop identifying with anxious thoughts and feelings while allowing their bodies to relax and let go of unconscious tension.
In a world that favors the outgoing, gregarious extrovert, being an introvert can be difficult. But the truth is that introverts are powerful observers and creators. The Awakened Introvert shows readers how to tap into their introvert strengths and awaken" their potential using mindfulness meditations and cognitive behavioral techniques. Introverts will also learn to minimize weaknesses—such as a tendency toward worry and rumination—and discover new skills for recharging in between social encounters.
A classic in its field, The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook has provided an unparalleled, quintessential resource for people struggling with anxiety and phobias for almost thirty years.

Readers will develop a personal plan using techniques from rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), powerful treatment methods proven to be even more effective than anxiety medication. This edition includes new evidence-based techniques such as behavioral activation and values-based action, addresses perfectionism and anxiety, and features updated, cutting-edge research.
Your Life on Purpose guides readers through the process of uncovering and acting on the underlying values that can lead them to a sense of purpose. Identifying values is a core component of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), but values can often be difficult to define and differentiate from goals.
From the pioneering publisher that has placed millions of self-help books into the hands of anxiety sufferers, The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Workbook offers readers a powerful, comprehensive new approach to treating generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). In the book, three renowned anxiety experts provide highly effective exercises and practical strategies to help readers with GAD soothe their worries, fears, and panic.

Forsyth, Ph.D., comes the first bookto provide ACT principles and techniques for dealing with anger, and to teach readers how to change their relationship with, and response to, anger by developing compassion for themselves and others.
Written by a leading researcher in acceptance and commitment theory, Georg Eifert, Ph.D., this book offers the most up-to-date and effective treatment for anorexia. Readers learn to view the use of eating control strategies as a problem, not a solution. They learn to better cope with out-of-control emotions and thoughts, and redirect the drive for thinless twoard healthier, valued life directions.
Drop the Rope in Your Tug-of-War with Anger
If you've tried to control problem anger before with little success, this book offers you a fundamentally new approach and new hope.

BMW 545i Replacement Radiator Hose Information
Keeping the radiator doing its job safely is the main job for the 545i BMW radiator hose. The 545i BMW radiator hose is all important in preventing the engine from overheating. It may be small, perhaps the least expensive of all automotive components, yet plays a huge role in transporting liquid coolant between radiator and engine. An improperly working radiator hose would spill corrosive liquid over key parts. It also would damage the engine in numerous ways. Connected to the water pump, the upper radiator hose flows coolant based on information rendered through the thermostat valve. The lower radiator hose flows coolant to the radiator from the engine. Either way, the BMW 545i is one of the world's most luxurious passengers sedans. Falls apart. It drives like a dream thanks, in part, to the simple radiator hose that must be replaced immediately if it cracks, splits or falls apart.

Pakistani Army Chief Unhappy Over Treatment Of Musharraf
Originally published on Wed May 1, 2013 1:48 pm
The army chief in Pakistan, a country with a long history of military coups, has hinted that he's unhappy with the detention of former President and ex-General Pervez Musharraf.
Reuters quotes Gen. Ashfaq Kayani in what Pakistani newspapers described as a veiled reference to the legal troubles dogging Musharraf, who has been placed under house arrest and barred from running for office over treason-related charges.
"In my opinion, it is not merely retribution, but awareness and participation of the masses that can truly end this game of hide-and-seek between democracy and dictatorship," Kayani said in a speech at army headquarters marking Martyr's Day.
As Reuters notes:
"The military has ruled Pakistan for than half of its 66-year history, through coups or from behind the scenes. It sets security and foreign policy, even when civilian governments are in power.
"Current commanders have meddled less in politics, letting civilian governments take the heat for policy failures.
"But Kayani has had an uneasy relationship with civilian leaders, as well as an increasingly interventionist Supreme Court, which has questioned the military's human rights record."

Carole Bartolotto: The problem with concluding that GMOs are safe is that the argument for their safety rests solely on animal studies. These studies are offered as evidence that the debate over GMOs is over. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Margo McCall: There's increasing evidence that adopting a plant-based diet is better for human health, the planet, and of course for the more than 9 billion animals that are killed for consumption each year in the U.S alone.

hosenemesis(SoCal Sunset 19 USDA 8b)July 23, 2010
I forgot to add water to my three-year-old lotus barrel. Big deal, it has never bloomed anyway, and this year I didn't even fertilize it. I threw some other pond plants in there, assuming the lotus had died.
I wish this strategy worked for all of my plants.

- Integrated commercial SQL database technology enables broad scalability
- Seamless interoperability with Incisive verification platform and Palladium XP Verification Computing Platform
Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), a leader in global electronic design innovation, today introduced an all-new Incisive® vManager™ solution, a verification planning and management solution enabled by client/server technology to address the growing verification closure challenge driven by increasing design size and complexity. The Incisive vManager solution, with its metric-driven verification (MDV) methodology, improves verification productivity by 2X or greater over traditional methods by combining executable verification plans, coverage optimization techniques, collaborative management utilities, deep failure and coverage analysis, and clear visibility to see when to shift resources.
Part of the Cadence® Incisive functional verification platform, the Incisive vManager solution utilizes commercial SQL database technology and enables broad scalability from small intellectual property (IP) projects to gigascale system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Additionally, to ensure SoC developers have a consistent methodology for design quality enhancements, the Incisive vManager solution supports several MDV extensions addressing applications including acceleration, low power and mixed-signal verification.
Incisive vManager Key Features
- Multi-user support: Allows unlimited simultaneous users for improved collaboration and better visibility into team-based verification
- Multi-engine support: Operates seamlessly with Incisive Enterprise Simulator, Incisive Formal Verifier and Palladium® XP Verification Computing Platform
- Multi-project capability: Enables multiple projects to be managed independently within the same environment—an industry first. Users can view project status, progress over time, and key metrics enabling verification signoff
- Multi-analysis feature: With the fully integrated Incisive Metrics Center, users can analyze coverage, test failures, perform failure triage, create and analyze executable plans, find coverage holes and design problems, all to determine focus areas to complete verification
For more detailed information on the Incisive vManager solution, visit www.cadence.com/news/vmanager.
Incisive vManager Customers Speak Out
"The Incisive vManager solution has been very well accepted by our design and verification teams because it's really straightforward, intuitive and easy to use. The Incisive vManager solution helps us with project visibility, which improves our verification productivity," said Mirella Negro Marcigaglia, verification manager, STMicroelectronics.
"Driven by ever-more-demanding use cases, the growing complexity of our DSPs require a highly powerful verification tool capable of addressing billions of coverage points. The new Incisive vManager solution allows us to merge and analyze our latest cores' databases on a scale never before possible, improving our productivity and providing faster time-to-market. As we begin to take advantage of the multi-user capability, we are confident we will gain even further improvements," said Ran Snir, VLSI director at CEVA.

ProLifeCorner- Freeport Illinois- By Fr. Timothy Barr- I am sure we have all heard about the marijuana plantations going up all over in Illinois, and especially in Freeport. There seems to be a rush to get everything up and going, but maybe we should really look at what the effects of something like this will be. The Church does not teach that marijuana is an intrinsic evil, but it is a mind altering drug. It should be treated with great care. Continue reading

Fiksu Indexes
Fiksu Indexes for January 2015:
Cost per App Launch Index (CPL): January 2015
The Cost per App Launch Index, which tracks the cost of each repeat app launch over time, focuses on engagement and lifetime value of mobile users. In January, the Android CPL Index increased to $0.18, rising 58 percent from December and up 14 percent year-over-year. The iOS CPL Index rose 10 percent to $0.26, representing an increase of 60 percent year-over-year.
Cost per Install (CPI) Index: January 2015
The Cost per Install (CPI) Index measures the cost per app install directly attributed to advertising. In January, CPI for iOS increased 9 percent to $1.28 – a 7 percent jump year-over-year. Android's CPI rose from $1.41 to $1.53, a 9 percent increase over December and up 23 percent since last January.
App Store Competitive Index: January 2015
The App Store Competitive Index tracks the aggregate volume of downloads per day achieved by the top 200 ranked free iPhone apps in the U.S. This Index showed a significant jump again in January for the fourth consecutive month, from 9.2 million daily downloads in December to 10.3 million daily downloads in January. This represents the first time download volumes have broken 10 million; an increase of 12 percent since last month, and a rise of 61 percent year-over-year.
Cost per Loyal User Index: January 2015
The Cost per Loyal User Index measures the cost of acquiring a loyal user for brands who actively market their apps. For the purposes of the Index, loyal users are defined as people who open an app three times or more. The CPLU Index rose 38 percent from December to $2.90 in January, a 61 percent increase year-over-year.
Fiksu's Analysis: January 2015
Continuing its upward trajectory, the January Fiksu indexes represented the fourth consecutive month of record-breaking downloads, as the average aggregate daily download volume of the top 200 free iOS apps reached 10.3 million. Exceeding 10 million for the first time in history, this new high comes on the heels of previous records in October, November and December of 7.8 million, 8.1 million and 9.2 million downloads respectively.
Mobile marketing costs in January also reached an all-time high: the Fiksu Cost Per Loyal User Index (CPLU) was at $2.90 in January, a 38 percent increase from December 2014. This represents a 61 percent year-over-year rise – the cost to acquire a loyal user in January 2014 was $1.80.
The continued increase in downloads reflects the ongoing surge in app usage. Driven by consumers' appetites for apps, marketers are putting data to work to target and acquire the right users who are more likely to engage over the long term. While this approach drives better overall results, it also drives up costs, as evidenced in January.
The January Cost Per Install Index (CPI), which measures the cost per app installs directly attributed to advertising, increased to $1.28 on iOS, a 9 percent rise since last month and a 7 percent increase since last January. On Android, CPIs also rose 9 percent for the month, to $1.53, a 23% increase since last January. As the shift to more sophisticated targeting is evident, marketers can expect that a larger part of their mobile strategy will include channels that offer several layers of audience targeting, such as Facebook, Twitter and RTB, which will increase CPIs but also increase the value of each acquired user.
How can the Fiksu Indexes help you?
Mobile marketing shouldn't require guesswork. Our award-winning platform injects predictability into your campaigns, removing complexity and guesswork and shifting the focus to where it belongs: performance.
We've accumulated more than 8.2 trillion marketing events including impressions analyzed, clicks, downloads, registrations, purchases and other loyal user events tracked across 2 billion devices– and use this data to help you better understand the fluctuating dynamics of the complex app marketing landscape through our monthly Fiksu Indexes.
Your app is competing for users with millions of others. The best way to improve your mobile marketing is to more precisely understand the competitive landscape you're pouring your budget into. The Fiksu Indexes reveal how industry dynamics – such as iOS upgrades, device launches, advertiser demand, ad network/publisher inventory, and seasonal activity – impact your business goals. Armed with this insight, you can adapt and plan with more agility.

TBILISI (Reuters) - Georgia on Tuesday condemned Russia for expanding its border deeper into Abkhazia, a breakaway region of Georgia that Moscow has recognized as an independent country since 2008.
Russia's Winter Olympics city of Sochi is next to Abkhazia.
Georgian diplomats said that Russia shifted its border with Georgia 11 kilometres (7 miles) deeper into Abkhazia, calling it an "illegal action" that violates Georgia's sovereignty.
Georgia has had no diplomatic relations with Russia since the two former Soviet republics fought a brief war in August 2008 and is not sending a government delegation to the games, although it will let its sportsmen compete as a goodwill gesture.
"The Georgian Foreign Ministry calls on the Russian Federation to stop provocative policy against Georgia and to live up to its international commitments, envisaged under the provisions of the (2008) cease-fire agreement," the ministry said in a statement.
"Georgia's territorial integrity is 'a red line' that Tbilisi will never cross in its relationship with Moscow," Maya Panjikidze, Georgia's foreign minister, told reporters.
The Russian government did not respond immediately, although Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday that Russia was not going to review its decision over recognition of Georgia's breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
"Attempts to make progress in our political ties conditional to Russia's reversal of recognition of those realities have no prospect and are counterproductive and fruitless," Russian news agency ITAR-TASS quoted Lavrov.
Georgia held out an olive branch to Russia last week by offering to help it guarantee security at the Winter Olympics, although details remained unclear.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has put troops on combat alert in Sochi because of threats by Islamist militants to attack the games, which open on February 7.
Despite the political tensions, the Georgian government decided last year not to boycott the games.
Russia last year lifted bans on imports of Georgian wine, mineral water and fruit that it imposed in 2006, but tensions remain high. Tbilisi has said it wants to deepen ties with the West although it is also trying to improve ties with Moscow.
Georgia is strategically important for Europe, which gets Caspian gas and oil from pipelines that run through the country of 4.5 million.
Georgia hopes eventually to join the European Union and NATO, although both are distant prospects. Moscow still regards Georgia, and most other former Soviet republics, as part of its sphere of influence.
