Single? #LookADouche Is Here To Tell You To "Shut Up" To Be Dateable
Yesterday at a Richardson High School assembly in Texas, students got some ... interesting ... relationship advice. Motivational speaker Justin Lookadoo — now appropriately deemed #LookADouche by the students — shared questionable "tips" such as telling students that "dateable girls know how to shut up." I'm sure that went over wonderfully with fragile 14-year-olds' self-esteem.

Research on inflammasomes opens new therapeutic avenues for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Patients with more or less severe forms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have the same painful symptoms, but does this mean that the cause of their illness is the same? And therefore that they should all receive the same treatment? Scientists at VIB and Ghent University have demonstrated with their research into inflammasomes that RA should be considered as a syndrome rather than a single disease.
Mohamed Lamkanfi (VIB/Ghent University): "Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be very painful and it is not always easy to find the most suitable medicine. Until recently, RA was considered to be a single disease, but our research suggests that it is more likely to be a syndrome than a single disease. This knowledge could result in a more personalized approach to treatment, with the most suitable medicines selected according to the patient's profile."
Rheumatoid arthritis and inflammasomes
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease that affects the joints and without treatment it evolves into a debilitating and painful condition that can severely affect the patient's quality of life. An estimated 1 to 2 % of the world's population suffers from RA; this equates to approximately 5 million people in Europe.
Inflammasomes are protein complexes that form part of our immune system. Scientists have suspected for some time that inflammasomes play a role in the development and progression of RA. Lieselotte Vande Walle and Mohamed Lamkanfi have been able to demonstrate the role of inflammasomes in RA using a specific mouse model with RA, developed by VIB colleagues Geert van Loo and Rudi Beyaert in Ghent.
They were able to combat the development of RA by blocking inflammasomes. One of the processes accounted for by inflammasomes is the production of interleukin-1, a protein with an important role in inflammatory reactions. Stopping the effects of interleukin-1 resulted in a cure for the mice. In this manner, Vande Walle and Lamkanfi demonstrated that the mouse model is perfectly suitable for studying the correlation between inflammasomes and RA.
A new therapeutic target
This first mouse model that places the genetic focus on the inflammasomes also lays the foundations for developing new treatments. Previous research has already demonstrated that other proteins in our immune system – such as TNF and IL-17 – could possibly play a role in RA. Medicines have since been developed to combat these proteins and thereby cure RA. These research results demonstrate that a further therapeutic option could be the blocking of the inflammasome (or the resulting IL-1).
Medicine to order
The research by VIB scientists also demonstrates that RA is a syndrome rather than a single disease, in other words that similar symptoms can have various different causes. If one knows the cause, one can offer very targeted treatment. In the case of genetic forms of breast, skin and lung cancer it is already possible to predict with great accuracy – by means of genetic tests – whether a treatment will work or not. We could evolve towards a more personalized approach for RA too. People with RA may all have the same symptoms, but the underlying genetic causes can differ. And so the future treatment options will differ too. A new challenge for many scientists!

College Football Recruiting: Iowa has Huge Recruiting Weekend
Less than two weeks ago, the Iowa Hawkeyes' recruiting class stood at eight members and the Hawkeyes hadn't received any new verbal commitments in nearly a month.
Fast forward nine days and Iowa's 2013 class is nearly full after receiving seven new commitments with six of those coming over the past four days.
The Hawks received commitments from two players each from the states of Missouri and Ohio and they also picked up two more from within their state's own borders over the weekend.
The best of new recruiting haul for Kirk Ferentz's squad may be Cleveland, Ohio defensive back, Solomon Warfield. The six foot, 170 pound safety held offers from several other Big Ten schools including Michigan State, Minnesota, Illinois, Penn State and Indiana as well as Arizona and Arizona State in the Pac-12.
Nonetheless, Warfield decided he wanted to be a Hawkeye. "I just told them that I felt really comfortable there when I came down to visit and I really like their program, so that's where I want to go to next year. They were really excited."
Iowa also received a commitment from St. Louis, Missouri athlete Derrick Mitchell. He has played quarterback and wide receiver on offense and linebacker and safety on defense although it's not yet clear where Ferentz and his staff plan to use him once he sets foot on campus in Iowa City.
Mitchell held offers from Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, Nebraska, Illinois and Indiana.
Iowa's class now stands at 15 commitments. While it's not exactly clear yet how many more players the Hawkeyes will take in their '13 class, they figure to be only able add a few more which is probably a good sign since we haven't even hit July 1st yet.
According to HawkeyeNation.com, the previous high for Iowa commitments at this point in the recruiting process was in 2010 when Iowa had seven verbal commitments.
Within the Big Ten, only Michigan has more players in their 2013 class. The Wolverines currently have 21 players committed which also happens to be the number one ranked class in the nation according to Rivals. Michigan not only has the quantity, but also a whole lot of quality in what will be Brady Hokes first full recruiting class he can call his own.
With the newest onslaught of players claiming they're heading to Iowa City, the Hawks jumped up to number 26 in the Rivals class rankings nationally, which leaves them sixth in the Big Ten, currently.
National signing day is set for February 6th, 2013, when prospective student-athletes can sign their binding letters of intent.

I've got a cluster both attached to a SAN (using multipath on linux), using RAW devices for ORACLE.
When each box boot they pick up differant minor number (I guess it's first come first serve), seems to be random allocation, not sure I need to find a way to force it. (Used to love my solaris box...). Therefore ORACLE is using minor number and failover will just mean loosing all the data!
How could I force minor number allocation for SAN on linux?

We have been very happy to live in Manuel and Nieves' apartment. The communication has been great before and during the stay, and the apartment was just perfect. Great size, clean and with everything you need (including dishwasher, which was awesome). The balcony is amazing, and we spend a lot of time out there enjoying the amazing ocean view in the sunshine. We would gladly recommend this place to everyone.
Very nice , taking care people. The flat is fully equipped with wonderful localisation and very good view of the sea. Very close to the seaside and center of town. Excellent WiFi.
Lejligheden levede fuldt ud op til beskrivelsen. Værterne var meget omsorgsfulde og der var en god kommunikation både før og under besøget. Vi fik en guide tilsendt med anvisninger omkring selve lejligheden og dens placering. Derudover var et par supermarkeders placering angivet og forslag til restauranter. Vi prøvede El Sabor, som var fantastisk, både mad, omgivelser og værter. Alt i alt var det en super positiv (email hidden) gæst hos Nieves og Manuel. Vi kommer gerne igen :)
We have had a wonderful break in Torremolinos, made all the better by the accommodation provided by Nieves and Manuel. The apartment was very modern, clean and comfortable, perfectly situated for the town centre, beach and other local amenities found.
We both were very sad to leave the apartment and would certainly like to go back in the near future.
Nieves and Manuel were very helpful communicating with us both before our break, during and after.
We would highly recommend this accommodation for any airbnb's!!
This experience was our best Airbnb! Communication was very good from the moment we booked, and the hosts had a very clear manual and routes to the appartment. We were welcomed bij Nieves and she showed us around.
The appartment itself is even better than the pictures. It has everything you need, including a bath and a well equipped kitchen with a great coffee maker. The balcony is absolutely fantastic. We have not used the couch inside once because of it.
The beach is very close, but might be a bit of a challenge for elderly; since you have to climb lots of stairs. The pool is great! Very clean (as is the rest of the building) and we used it every day. During our week; we did not see anybody using it so it was close to private.
If you are looking for a great; modern; comfortable place; this is it!
Nous avons passé 4 jours agréables a Torremolinos. L appartement est a la hauteur des photos. Il est parfaitement situé, a 5 minutes a pieds du centre, de l arrêt de train, de la plage. L organisation pour notre arrivée tardive était parfaite. Excellent rapport qualité prix... a conseiller sans hésiter
We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely app. and recommend it to everybody. Super communication with owners. Thanks again for a great accommodation and hope it wasnt last time :-)
We are Manuel and Nieves. We love traveling, knowing new cultures, eating and enjoying life through our trips.
Summing up, we think we are here to have fun and we are trying hard to fulfill our mission.

They should be working on fucking planes that go into fucking space!
Thanks to the wonderful diversity of the word fuck, I believe there are at least three acceptable interpretations of this sentence.
1. The engineers should be fucking planes that go into space.
2. The engineers should be creating planes that are capable of going into space and are capable of fucking people or things.
3. The engineers should be creating planes that go into space.
The other half is "outreach to the Muslim world"

Looking for good spot cleaner for pool dirt - without running poo
Does anyone know of a good spot cleaner for picking up pool dirt without having to run the pool. I saw an ad for "The Pool Blaster Max (HD or CG models) which says it goes on the end of a telepole and picks up dirt/debris using a built in battery for power. Like a dustbuster on a pole.
Does this thing work - or is there something better?
I have a suction side cleaner/robot but it doesn't get up on the sun shelf - and sometimes there is just a leaf or some dirt on the bottom that I want to clean up without starting the pool pump.
I read a bunch of reviews on the The Pool Blaster Max, and the major complaint was that water finds it way into the unit after a year or so and ruins the battery and/or motor. Replacing either is about the cost of a new unit.
I also realize that most people that post reviews on equipment usually do so to say they love it or hate it - so it's hard to tell from reviews just how well the device actually works for the majority of purchasers.

I will be making a few pounds of sausage in a short while.Is it O.K. to substitute Morton Tender Quick for Prague powder #1? I have plenty of Morton Tender Quick and would like to use it up.Thanks

I am not a sausage maker But you CAN NOT substitute cure for cure.
I don't know if you can use TQ for sausage but it would be a different recipe than #1.
said the wize nonsausgemakerman.............
You can substitute TQ for prague powder #1, but, it's not a direct substitution. You need to follow the directions of your particular cure for the amount needed for the amount of meat you have. With that, you may need to adjust the amount of salt added, as I understand that TQ has more salt in it than PP1
Here is an interesting read about curing salts.
Should clear up your questions.

If I was to use TQ, I wouldn't add any additional salt to the spice mix.
Going by fpnmf's chart it would have the same amount of salt as one of my standard recipes using #1 and salt.( well 2 grams less)
One other issue might be that half the cure in TQ is nitrate and I'm not sure if you would need to cure it longer before smoking or not.

First I assume that you intend to smoke the sausage. If your just making fresh sausage that will be frozen then cure is not needed. I would not use TQ in place of Prague #1 as your sausage would simply turn out to salty. Go with the Prague #1 in addition to your seasonings and then smoke. The ratio for Prague #1 is 1 tsp per 5 lbs of meat.

I'm with Bob (Bbally) on this one and say that you can't substitute the 2 cures. I guess I'm lucky for I know a guy in Tallehassee and I have both prague #1 and tender quick so I don't have to worry about it.

Since this subject keeps popping up I decided to contact Morton Salt a while back and here is the reply I received Yesterday. Please note the differences in TQ and Instacure #1 or Prague #1.
Morton's Tender Quick more closely resembles Instacure #2 than it does Instacure #1 because of the sodium nitrate in it.
Notice that Instacure #1 has 6.25% Sodium Nitrite which is the maximum permitted by FDA rules. Tender Quick only has 0.5% Sodium Nitrite and 0.5% Sodium Nitrate. I would therefore have to agree with Bob that TQ is not a complete cure.
I'll be glad to mail you a complimentary Home Meat Curing Guide.Our meat curing salts contain Nitrate and Nitrite, these are the curing agents.
Prague powder is a generic term for meat curing mixtures, not a trademarked name.
Prague Powder is a commercial meat cure designed for industrial use.
Morton meat curing products are designed for home meat curing. Morton Tender Quick and Plain Sugar Cure contains 0.5% sodium nitrite and 0.5% sodium nitrate. Morton Smoke Flavored Sugar Cure contains 1.5% sodium nitrate and is designed for large cuts of meat with a longer curing time.

OK, so explain to me why I can't substitute one cure for another. In post #4 I said that it's doable as long as you use the right proportions of cure to meat and adjust the salt in the recipe. My opinion is that you could substitute one cure for another as long as you adjust the amount based on the instructions Am I wrong in my thinking? Or ,are we just reading the OP's post differently?

in my limited understanding of the subject I would agree with AK1 in that you can use tenderquick instead of cure #1 but you need to use it in the correct cure to meat ratio for the cure you are using. now I do believe that with morton tenderquick that the cureing time could be longer because the nitrate and nitrite are in lower concentrate amounts. but then again with instacure #1 which is 6.25%(from above post) sodium nitrite you use 1 tsp per pound of meat and with TQ you use 1.5 teaspoon per pound of meat. that is 50% more by volume but still less sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite when you seperate it out. so the question is how much sodium nitrate and sodium nitrate is enough? the next question is how long it needs to cure based on amount of sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite. I would guess that a smaller amount will still cure it but it would take longer, but that is just a guess.
bear what is your input... I understand you have alot of experience with TQ?
as I understand it tenderquick was designed with the home sausage maker in mind and contains both sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite to give it both quick and long curing properties. sodium nitrate converts to nitrite in a slow cure and in a fast cure the nitrite is used to speed up the cureing time. so tenderquick covers both the fast and the slow. but you definatly need to be aware of the amount of salt in the TQ and account for that in the recipie. I would be interested in seing the "cureing guide" available from morton to see thier specificaitons. I can't find any locally so i will have to contact morton directly and see if I can get one.
The reason that i said they are not interchangeable is that 1 the op did not ask about recipe or ammounts . 2 he is a newbie w/ only 4 post, He may have plenty of experiance but i dont know that and 3 they are not interchangeable one for one the ammounts must be modifed to work and be safely used.

I also took it that way. In fact if a person with the correct knowledge of how to write a recipe with the proper cure amounts, you could use any kind of cure

I use TQ in sausage all the time BUT you must use the correct measurement for TQ NOT the measurements for another cure per pound of ground meat.
Secondly, curing times may need to be adjusted based on a specific cures recommendations.
