Seth McFarlane's Ted Lawsuit Dismissed, Get The Details
It appears that Seth McFarlane has been vindicated in the eyes of a Los Angeles court after the dismissal of a lawsuit against him alleging that his comedic vulgar taking teddy bear film, Ted was too similar to a series of video sketches focusing on a character called Charlie The Abusive Teddy Bear. Its certainly a huge relief for McFarlane as Ted 2 readies an imminent summer release.

Seth MacFarlane Should Leave TV Behind
Seth MacFarlane has always been a TV guy. Even before he became one of the biggest names in entertainment with shows like Family Guy, American Dad! and The Cleveland Show, he was part of the team over at Cartoon Network, writing for shows like Dexters Laboratory, and Johnny Bravo. But then 2012 came and completely reshaped his entire career.

With music by Walter Murphy and lyrics by MacFarlane, the song is up against the aforementioned "Skyfall," Les Miserables's "Suddenly," Chasing Ice's "Before My Time," and Life of Pi's "Pi's Lullaby." Should Everybody Needs a Best Friend win the award for Best Original Song, the statues would go to Murphy and MacFarlane.

And the experiment was a smash success.

Ted centered on an overgrown goofball and his similarly stunted and unlikely best friend and blended elements of nostalgia with crude humor...

As you may have already heard, Ted is one seriously funny movie. Due out this weekend, the film is completely irreverent and filled with belly laughs, but it also features a great amount of heart and does a surprisingly good job avoiding many of the problems that plague other raunchy comedies. Its an interesting mix to say the least, and it was just as interesting to hear what the director and actors had to say about the making of it.

Patrick Warburton is one of those actors that you just can't get sick of.

Bike photographyA short while ago someone mentioned a couple of tips for taking better bike photos. Was it cranks horizontal and rear derailleur at full stretch? Any other tips? I think that bidon cages sometimes spoil the aesthetics of a bike. I'll never be a Ray Dobbins but I'd like to do a bit better.
Re: Bike photographyI like the rim decals to be in a similar orientation on both wheels as well as the valves. I like to see the biddon cage but I can see where it could be distracting. I like to see the RH crank arm pointing to around 2:30 o'clock or pointing down to continue the line of the seat tube.
Do I ever think of these things when I take a photo of a bike? No!

Re: Bike photography[quote="toolonglegs"]Show us some of your examples to critic .
Well, this will be embarrassing!
Re: Bike photographyLocation baby!... find a location that suits the bike.
If you have an SLR camera shoot it on a longer lense to blur out the back ground a bit and make the bike stand out a bit, it will also reduce the distortion that happens when shooting on a wider lense. If you haven't got your own lighting ( most people )... shot it in early morning or late afternoon when the sun is a bit lower and the light is a bit warmer. It will make all the metal work sparkle. Get photoshop or similar for the finishing touches .
Re: Bike photographyMy most recent effort. I was hoping the location would suit.
Or to follow the 'instagram' fad (although i did this on photobucket and i think it suits the bike) Oh and TLL, i took over a month to reassemble a SunTour VX GT once! When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.

Re: Bike photographyThe style guide is good in as much as it makes person actually think about the positions of various bits and pieces. Some of them are silly though; I like downtube shifters to be not parallel and pedals as ridden, daaaaaaggy!
I earn a crust as a phototgrapher (credentials here). You can write all the "rules" you want but good photography comes back to content, composition and lighting. The rules above apply mostly to composition. Bikes are a really tough subject. A bike is bunch of skinny tubes with a lot of air in between. Air is invisible. You should give some, actually a lot, of thought into what is going to fill that space. Garage doors, brick walls and white, black or grey in a studio are the most popular options, they're the ones that provide the most reward per unit of effort. Check out these two posts on Cycle Exif. They've broken plenty of rules but you have to agree the photos are beautiful. And it's mostly because the photographers have considered the location for the shoot, the lighting and the composition, which isn't always about the bike. Mind you, they're pretty nice bikes http://www.cycleexif.com/chiossi-cycles-gloria http://www.cycleexif.com/kinfolk-autumn-2
Re: Bike photographyCan you create that white room look at home? Or is there some photo-shopping involved with those type shots?

Re: Bike photographyFantastic indeed! Great insight into setting up a DYI photo shot.
Re: Bike photographyI was going to dob Frithy in, but he did it himself. If he can polish the t#rd that is Port Hedland, he is the man to speak to...great chap too.
Re: Bike photographyA fan of oblique composing/framing here. If you picture the bike being at the centre of a square box. Then envisage the box having intersects across every diagonally opposite corner, through the centre of the box; that's 4 lines. I try and do most (not all shots), in that rough line-of-sight. This tends to add some 3D to what is a pretty 2D machine.
The shots I put up of the Pegasus in 'Let's see what...' kind of show that, I think (Gallery link there). Not a big fan of the 90º/0º level shot. IMO, getting angles (vertical and horizontal together), is the main prerequisite. Then there's ugly stuff in the background to be left out/taken out. Yes, early morning/late afternoon give better light, too, as suggested earlier. These are all very amateur suggestions; I'm no pro. Well, no, it's not a pushbike, otherwise I'd be pushing it...

Re: Bike photography
the pre-photo shop image would be a raw file... All I would have done is brightened it up. Cant remember exactly but probably used 3 lights... 2 on the background and one front on. The front on one would have blasted through a white sheet (as metal only reflects what it sees, you need a big white light source to get the nice reflections ).

Re: Bike photographyRaymond has no FD.
Probably didn't need one, eh? Very neat bike though! And the Kenevans too. I had to make these comments although they contribute nothing to the topic. Sorry.
Re: Bike photography hadn't quite finished it when I took that picture. Took a long time to find a Bakelite front derailleur in one piece !.
Re: Bike photographyGreat topic and tips guys. Some impressive examples too.
Very timely for me as Ive just finished off a bike and I'm waiting for some nice weather to try a get a few pictures before I hand it over to its new owner. I agree that a great backdrop can make a big difference. A couple of my favorite bike pictures are 'real' scenes from my travels with the bike itself in the background rather than being the main subject.

The Self-Collection Study: a Study of Self-collected HPV Testing and Results Counseling
- Full Text View
- Tabular View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Cervical cancer is the second most common type of cancer among women worldwide. Women with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) bear a disproportionate burden of cervical cancer and its precursor, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), that result from persistent high-risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HIV clinical practice guidelines recommend two Pap tests in the year following diagnosis, and if both are normal, yearly thereafter. Nationally, only 25% of women meet this recommendation. The mean annual Pap testing rate for federally funded HIV centers is only 55.7%. In 2009, quality improvement statistics from the Johns Hopkins Hospital Moore Clinic, a large urban HIV center, revealed an annual Pap testing rate of 59%. This occurred despite interventions to address adherence issues were implemented, including nurse case management, co-location of HIV and gynecology services, flexible scheduling, and continuity of care. Women keep their appointments for HIV primary care more often than for gynecology care in the Moore Clinic, so an intervention that takes place during a primary care visit could improve cervical cancer screening rates.
The availability of HPV testing provides a unique opportunity to increase perceived susceptibility to and severity of cervical cancer among women with HIV, and to encourage follow-up Pap testing. HPV testing involves analyzing a sample of cervicovaginal cells for the presence of high-risk HPV strains. Detection of high-risk strains of the virus indicates a high risk for high grade CIN and cancer, while a negative HPV test predicts a less than 2% risk of developing CIN. HPV testing can be easily conducted by women themselves through self-collection in a primary care visit. Studies of women without HIV who do not have regular Pap testing have demonstrated that self-collected HPV testing and results counseling increases the overall screening rate, and women who test positive for HPV have a high rate of follow-up Pap testing. Self-collected HPV testing and results counseling could be utilized in the HIV primary care setting to promote Pap testing among women with HIV.

HIV Infection |
Other: Self-Collected HPV Test |
Phase 4 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Prevention |
Official Title: | A Test of an Intervention to Improve Pap Testing Among Women With HIV |
- Pap test [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The outcome measure is the completion of Pap testing within 6 months of the baseline study visit.
Estimated Enrollment: | 111 |
Study Start Date: | October 2012 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | March 2014 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | March 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: HPV Self-Collection
The intervention is a self-collected HPV test, followed by results counseling by phone when the result is available (usually 2-3 weeks). Women are encouraged to have Pap testing.
Other: Self-Collected HPV Test
The HPV self-collected test is followed by results counseling by phone when the result is available (usually 2-3 weeks). Women are encouraged to have Pap testing.
Other Name: HPV test (Qiagen hc2)
Placebo Comparator: Usual Care
In the usual care arm, women do not receive the HPV test. They are encouraged to have Pap testing. In addition, there is a phone call as an attention control, where women are reminded to make a Pap test appointment about 2-3 weeks after the baseline visit.
Detailed Description:
This study is a randomized trial to test whether receiving self-collected HPV testing and results counseling in HIV primary care will increase completion of Pap testing in a group of women attending the Johns Hopkins Hospital Moore Clinic for HIV Care. The study is informed by the Health Belief Model (HBM), which posits that screening behavior will increase if persons at risk for disease have a cue to action that increases their perception of susceptibility to and severity of the disease. In this study, the HPV test and results counseling are cues to action that also correctly identify those women at high risk for disease. To achieve these aims, 111 women who are late for Pap testing will be recruited for participation while they are at an HIV care appointment. They will be randomized to HPV self-collection and results counseling, or to receive usual care. Six months after enrollment, medical records will be reviewed for completion of Pap testing in the intervening months.

What happens in Vegas ... may be protected by the FMLA
Blog Entry:
January 29, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: SUSAN KEATING ANDERSON, ESQ.
Susan Keating Anderson Esq
Susan Keating Anderson
is a labor and employment attorney at
Walter & Haverfield LLP
. She provides general counsel to both public and private employers on a variety of workplace matters and human resources issues.
At the end of last year, in one of the more interesting opinions of 2012, a federal judge upheld an employee's right to take Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave to care for her mother during a recreational trip to Las Vegas.
The employee, Beverly Ballard, was a swimming instructor. Her mother, who had been diagnosed with end-stage congestive heart failure, won a trip to Las Vegas through the Fairy Godmother Foundation. Despite the fact that Ballard's employer denied her request for leave, Ballard accompanied her mother on the trip and was subsequently terminated for taking unauthorized time off. Ballard sued, claiming that the employer interfered with her ability to take FMLA leave to care for her mother.
At issue was whether or not Ballard qualified for FMLA leave to care for her parent. There was no question that Ballard met the threshold eligibility requirements of FMLA based on her length of employment and number of service hours. Ballard also argued, and the court accepted as true, that she was her mother's primary care giver, which included Ballard preparing her mother's meals, administering her mother's insulin shots and medicine, tending to her mother's other medical needs, bathing her, transporting her, and providing emotional support.
This case is unique, however, because the purpose of the trip was not for her mother to seek medical treatment. In the past, courts have typically dismissed FMLA lawsuits involving trips when the family member being cared for was not seeking treatment at a remote location. Ballard's attorney, however, argued that since she was still providing care to her mother in Las Vegas, even though she was on a purely recreational trip, the trip was one which qualified Ballard for leave.
The FMLA, which was enacted in 1993, was created to entitle eligible employees of covered
employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons with continuation of group health insurance coverage.
In prior cases, courts have mandated that caregiver leave under the FMLA should either be at home or part of in-patient treatment. Bucking this trend, the judge in the Ballard case ruled that it didn't matter where the employee provided care as long as she was, in fact, providing care. It's important to note that this case is now being appealed, so we will have to wait to see if this court's opinion holds. In the meantime, this opinion opens the door to a possible onslaught of lawsuits in which employees may seek to "stretch" the limits of FMLA to include caregiver-related activities not traditionally covered by the FMLA.
So what should employers do now?
• Start by reviewing current FMLA policies and procedures and make sure they reflect the current state of the law (but remember, the Ballard case is under appeal and not settled law at this point.)
• Train all supervisory employees – even if they are not charged with the responsibility of administering FMLA – on how to respond to requests for FMLA leave and other types of leave that might trigger FMLA coverage. Sometimes an uninformed supervisor can create problems by not handling a request properly or in a timely manner. Leave FMLA decisions to the experts.
• HR professionals and other employees charged with administering FMLA must take care to follow the notice and certification protocol so that an employer is in as best of a position as possible if a denial of leave is being contemplated.
• If an employee's request contains sparse details, don't simply deny the request and assume the problem will go away. Employers can benefit from proactive HR professionals who work with employees to ensure all requests are timely addressed and that all appropriate information is available when determining whether a request is covered by the FMLA.
• Whether or not an employee's request appears to qualify at the outset, be sure to create a paper trail that supports your decision to approve or deny the leave, as the case may be.
• This may go without saying, but do not try to interfere with an employee's taking of FMLA or other leave as a pretext for terminating employees with performance issues. Be certain to follow the same policies and procedures equally for all employees. If an employee has performance issues, those issues should be addressed separate and apart from the FMLA process.
• Choose your battles wisely. Even in those cases where you might well have the law on your side, there may be value in creating goodwill among your employees by allowing them to take leave where they may not otherwise be eligible for FMLA leave. In the Ballard case, for example, the employee's mother was dying. This may not have been the time to take a hard-line approach. Look at the big picture and weigh all risks and benefits, tangible and intangible, of the final decision. This is not to say that FMLA leave should be granted when there is a clear basis for denial, but thinking outside the box and affording the employee, for instance, a short unpaid leave, may ultimately allow an employer to avoid litigation and generate goodwill among its employees.
• Finally, before denying any borderline FMLA leave requests, consult with legal counsel to make sure you are as protected as possible.

Philip will be hosting the annual Prairie Expo again on January 22. This was announced at the Philip Chamber of Commerce meeting on November 8. The Expo has always been a big undertaking, especially with the traditionally large turn-out of venders and the "pen of three" livestock showing. The number of booths will probably again reach the maximum that space will allow. The attendance, especially with the entertainment, dinner, and daycare, is expected to be even larger than last year.
CEO Don Kraemer has given notice that he will not be seeking to renew his contract for next year with the Midland School Board. Kraemer offered no further details concerning this announcement that ended the November 8 Midland School Board meeting. Earlier in the meeting, staff development was discussed. Eight teachers, Kraemer, and Business Manager Debbie Trapp attended a workshop on utilizing results from standardized test scores.
Spectacular doings, entertaining years, and spending most of the rest of the time working, have filled the lives of Eddie and Marjorie Kodet. Eddie has gone from directing a dance band, to parachuting out of a WWII bomber, to farming and ranching near Belvidere. Marjorie has been with him all the way (except the bomber incident). Starting in 1935, Eddie Kodet and the Kadets played their big band sound throughout South Dakota, northern Nebraska, and eastern Wyoming. Eddie would organize the jobs and lead with his alto sax.
Even in 2004, a roundup and cattle drive is sometimes best done exclusively on horseback and even with a chuckwagon. In the old fashioned way, cattle owned by Mike Trapp and Barry Jones were gathered and drove to their respective ranches near Midland for winter pasture. The 220 head of cows began the drive from the Hudson Flat area near Cedar Breaks, near the Deep Creek School about 45 miles north of Midland. The venture began the evening of Wednesday, November 3.
The Philip school would like to invite the public to a performance by Kevin Locke, Lakota dancer and flute player, in the Fine Arts Building on Monday, Nov. 15. There will be two performances: 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. for elementary students, and 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for middle and high school students. Among American Indian artists of North America, none is more famous than Kevin Locke, a Lakota dancer and indigenous flute player. Reared on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, Kevin lived with an elderly uncle who spoke only Lakota.
The Philip Ambulance Service has been chosen the South Dakota Ambulance Service of the Year at the EMT Conference held in Rapid City. An estimated 700 people, representing the 110 ambulance services in South Dakota, attended the conferences on October 29-31. Along with the Exemplary Service of the Year plaque, the Philip Ambulance Service received a check for $250. All nominations and reasons for being nominated had to originate from a different department or group. The Philip Ambulance Service was nominated by the Haakon County Sheriff's Office.
This time of year, the hunting-season widows look forward to getting together without their 'macho' men. The theater is showing an appropriate movie; I hope there is no insult by calling it a 'chick-flick'. The deer also know that the season is here. They have been practicing running across nighttime highways, just to taunt the poor hunter who can't find one on legal hunting grounds. The day before season, deer can be seen out the kitchen window. They smile back with an irritating smirk.
The Philip Scottie volleyball team is back in the grove. The team did have to fight hard to beat the New Underwood Tigers. Though only three games out of five had to be played to determine the Scotties as the winners, each game was close. The Scotties came from behind to win two of the three games.
Todd Enders is the new conservation officer for Haakon County and the part of Jackson County north of the White River. Having started on October 23, Enders is not deterred by becoming the region's game warden just before deer season. Enders is originally from Interior, South Dakota. He has spent some years in Wyoming, but now is again close to family and home. Todd Enders is currently single.
The Scotties first overwhelmed Timber Lake. Then, Philip played the Harding County Ranchers in Buffalo on November 1, beating them 7-0. The Scotties will advance to the semi-final round on Saturday, November 6, at Avon. Game time is 4:00 p.m. MT.Philip Scotties vs. Timber Lake The Philip Scotties closed out the Timber Lake football team 45-0 on Tuesday, October 26 in the first round of play-off action. The first quarter was a standstill by both teams. The second quarter, though, was broken wide open with four touchdowns by the Scotties.

Can the Quincy Library Group reshape the West?
When a county supervisor, an environmental attorney and a professional forester came together 20 years ago, they couldn't have foreseen what lay ahead.
They had a mission: Treat the forests to keep them healthy and fire resistant, harvest timber to fund the county's roads and schools, and do it all in a manner that would satisfy environmental concerns and stave off lawsuits.
It is one thing to have a vision; it's another to implement it. It took an act of Congress — literally. During a recent trip to Quincy, Congressman Wally Herger said that the phrase "an act of Congress" refers to something that is nearly impossible to accomplish, but that's exactly what the QLG did. It took hundreds of meetings, dozens of trips to the nation's Capitol and five years, but the Herger-Feinstein Quincy Library Group Recovery Act was passed and implemented.
The five-year pilot program, which turned into a 15-year odyssey, didn't achieve the numbers it wanted in terms of acres treated, board feet harvested or money earned, but its methodology, when implemented on the ground, succeeded. The QLG's strategy of building defensible fuel profile zones has proven effective in protecting not only the forests, but also the communities that they surround from fire.
Now the QLG hopes to roll out what it has learned throughout the West. It won't be easy. If it took an act of Congress to effect change on a small corner of Northern California, what will it take to change the landscape of multiple states? It looks like the QLG is ready to find out.
During its last meeting, the group asked member George Terhune to formalize his concept, which would make treating the forests self-funding. Money earned by harvesting timber during the thinning process would be returned to a special fund within the Forest Service for future work, not to the federal government's general fund.
Then would begin the process that QLG members are all too familiar with — building support, making the rounds in Washington, and fighting the legal challenges that are sure to follow. The QLG, which originally boasted 30 die-hard members, has seen that number dwindle and those who remain are a little older and more battle weary than they were in 1992. But if they can muster both the enthusiasm and the energy to tackle this challenge, they could change the landscape throughout the West and beyond.

After diligent efforts by the state's physical therapists, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (NH DHHS) has issued a clarification on the supervision requirement of physical therapist assistants. On June 11 NH DHHS issued a memo stating that no recoupment action would be taken for any Medicaid claims submitted since June 2005 related to the "physical presence" requirement. Previously, claims would not be covered by Medicaid if the physical therapist was not physically present when services were provided by a physical therapist assistant. After receiving interpretation from federal regulators this summer, the department will be replacing the current "physical presence" requirement (He-W 568.05) with a requirement that the physical therapist must be available at least by telecommunication for direction and supervision but does not have to be on site, which aligns with the New Hampshire statute. Providers must continue to meet the requirements of:
On a related note, APTA has submitted comments emphasizing the vital importance of access to physical therapy services for Medicaid beneficiaries, in response to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed rule that would require states to implement a standardized review process to ensure compliance with Medicaid access requirements. The rule was published May 6 and reported in a May 25 News Now article.

It can't be because of RAM because in the second link (the 4GB, year 2009) the 32-bit PAE is having the same performance as 32-bit non-PAE.
I found another test done in 2012:
In 2012,the difference is not large and 64-bit is giving better performance than 32, and 32-PAE is giving slightly better than 64.
Why / How ?
I'm thinking all this because I want to understand 32 bit vs 64 bit, because I've to choose that whether my next OS should be 32-PAE or 64.

Sperm donor sued for child support
Kansas man answered Craigslist ad by lesbian couple
A Kansas man who donated sperm to a lesbian couple is now being sued for child support.
William Marotta argues he shouldn't have to pay the money, claiming he and the women signed an agreement waiving all of his parental rights, The Associated Press reported.
But no doctors were used for the artificial insemination, which is required by state law.
Because of that, state officials argue Marotta can and should be held responsible for the $6,000 the child's biological mother received through public assistance, according to the AP.
At least 10 other states have similar laws.
Marotta, 46, became involved when he answered a Craiglist ad in 2009 from Topeka couple Angela Bauer and Jennifer Schreiner, who were seeking a sperm donor, UPI reported.
When Schreiner and Bauer broke up, Schreiner applied for state assistance to help care for the girl.
The case will be considered by an administrative hearing officer on Jan. 8.

The Good Fight
A Life in Liberal Politics
For more than five decades in public life, Walter Mondale has played a leading role in America's movement for social change—in civil rights, environmentalism, consumer protection, and women's rights—and helped to forge the modern Democratic Party.
In The Good Fight, Mondale traces his evolution from a young Minnesota attorney general, whose mentor was Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, into a U.S. senator himself. He was instrumental in pushing President Johnson's Great Society legislation through Congress and battled for housing equality, against poverty and discrimination, and for more oversight of the FBI and CIA. Mondale's years as a senator spanned the national turmoil of the Nixon administration; its ultimate self-destruction in the Watergate scandal would change the course of his own political fortunes.
Chosen as running mate for Jimmy Carter's successful 1976 campaign, Mondale served as vice president for four years. With an office in the White House, he invented the modern vice presidency; his inside look at the Carter administration will fascinate students of American history as he recalls how he and Carter confronted the energy crisis, the Iran hostage crisis, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, and other crucial events, many of which reverberate to the present day.
Carter's loss to Ronald Reagan in the 1980 election set the stage for Mondale's own campaign against Reagan in 1984, when he ran with Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman on a major party ticket; this progressive decision would forever change the dynamic of presidential elections.
With the 1992 election of President Clinton, Mondale was named ambassador to Japan. His intriguing memoir ends with his frank assessment of the Bush-Cheney administration and the first two years of the presidency of Barack Obama. Just as indispensably, he charts the evolution of Democratic liberalism from John F. Kennedy to Clinton to Obama while spelling out the principles required to restore the United States as a model of progressive government.
The Good Fight is replete with Mondale's accounts of the many American political heavyweights he encountered as either an ally or as an opponent, including JFK, Johnson, Humphrey, Nixon, Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, Senator Gary Hart, Reagan, Clinton, and many others.
Eloquent and engaging, The Good Fight illuminates Mondale's philosophies on opportunity, governmental accountability, decency in politics, and constitutional democracy, while chronicling the evolution of a man and the country in which he is lucky enough to live.

Tribulus terrestris, also known as the puncture vine plant, contains a powerful element that may help the body increase its own ability to produce testosterone naturally.
Preliminary studies indicate that tribulus may help increase the body's production of luteinizing hormone (LH) by as much as 70%. LH in turn stimulates the Leydig cells of the testicles to release testosterone. This process may help elevate testosterone production by as much as 40%. In a study of 20 males and females, tribulus also increased endurance by 75% and sexual performance by 80%.
The ability of tribulus to initiate this process is directly related to its protodioscin content, an active constituent of tribulus terrestris. Fitness Labs only uses tribulus with a high percentage (20%) of protodioscin and related compounds.
Tribulus Terrestris possesses many steroidal saponins that may support natural testosterone production and sex drive.* To ensure bioactivity, Tribulus Ultra is standardized to 20% protodioscins and related compounds, considered to be the "actives" in Tribulus.
This "ultra" formula includes 500 mg of synergistic herbs to help super-charge your results!

North Carolina Tar Heels fans chanted "go to hell Duke" at the Dean E. Smith Center on Wednesday. / Bob Donnan, USA TODAY Sports
Naturally the best way to celebrate a win against a mediocre team is to know that your rival school was blown out by 27 points in embarrassing fashion.
While No. 1 Duke was in Miami getting obliterated by the Hurricane for Wednesday night's ACC action, fans back in North Carolina took joy in the Blue Devils' painful-to-watch night. The UNC faithful savored the loss by chanting "Go to hell, Duke!" when the final score of 90-63 was posted on the video board in Chapel Hill.
The Tar Heels took care of business on their home floor for a 79-63 victory. Reggie Bullock scored 17 points, P.J. Hairston had 15 and James Michael McAdoo added 14 for North Carolina (13-5, 3-2 Atlantic Coast Conference).
With former star Rashad McCants watching from behind their bench in a McAdoo jersey, the Tar Heels never trailed and shot nearly 43 percent (30 of 70) to move above .500 in league play for the first time this season.
The Yellow Jackets (10-7, 0-5) had 19 turnovers and lost their fifth straight to remain the only team winless in ACC play.

Jerome Russell Plastic Gloves
Stardustgirl"eh" Not So Much.I was looking for plastic or vinyl gloves to use with my Jilbere spa mitts, and decided to give these a try. While they're OK, they're difficult to open up and use since the flimsy plastic tends to really want to stick to itself. For the price, these really aren't all that fabulous. It strikes me as more like a 99 cent item at the very most. The package contains one pair of gloves, plus a plastic cap (which isn't mentioned anywhere on the packaging but was in the one I got). For disposables, I'd go with the box of vinyl gloves that give you 100 for about $6, and are much easier to slip your hand into. I'd have rated it only 2 stars but the package says Made In USA and I'm glad someone is keeping some manufacturing here.posted Dec 15, 2011Link to this post

text: YOUR example suggests that you will have fewer options, but how can you be so confident that fighters are going to reject this proposal at the current fee? I have spoken to and been contact by quite a number over the last 24 hrs. There is a personal value that is not being accounted for. After I lost my friend due to a KO in a kickboxing match, those around told me i wasnt allowed to compete of even train head shots without various medical stuff which would have costs me £500. had i not injured myself and got involved in commentary i was more than willing to pay £1000 so that i could safely participate in a sport without being infected with a disease, infecting someone else with a disease or suffering a hemorrhage which would have incapacitated me. That is why SAFE MMA will work, is necessary and why we are all so proud of it.

There's a new holiday on the horizon—Valentine's Day! While stores around us try to focus our attention on roses, chocolates, cards and potential dinner dates, I want to suggest that families focus on the "heart" of the holiday by reflecting on how love is expressed in the home. Read more >
Dr. Gary Chapman has identified 5 distinct, universal "love languages" that give insights into how our children (or spouses, family members and friends!) are wired to perceive and receive emotional love.
Knowing your child's love language can help improve your relationship with your child, ensure a sense of security, and strengthen communication once you learn to speak his or her love language. The key is to understand how your child interprets love.
The five love languages® include:
1) Physical touch – hugs, holding hands, pecks on the cheek and physical presence
2) Quality time – undivided attention minus outside distractions and multi-tasking
3) Acts of service – anything done to ease the burden of chores or work
4) Receiving Gifts – thoughtfulness and effort put into choosing personalized gifts show you are truly known and cared for
5) Words of affirmation – words impact: insults can shatter and unsolicited comments can make your heart dance
After reading about these love languages, my friend, Ann, created her own game of either/or questions to ask her children about. She gave her kiddos scenarios like:
- Which would you rather do with mommy: 15 minutes of snuggling (physical touch) or 15 minutes of playing games (quality time)?
- Which makes you happier: to receive an encouraging note (words of affirmation) or to get a surprise present (receive gifts)?
Now, she incorporates their particular preferences into her parenting strategy for each one.
If you're not quite as creative as my friend, Ann, you can visit Dr. Chapman's website, which provides assessment tools that support the power of positive parenting. Parents can play the Love Language Mystery game with their children to unlock their secret love languages.
In honor of this month of love, why not spend time learning your child's primary love language and what you can do to help him or her feel genuinely loved? Assess your love language, then ask yourself: How does my child interpret love? How do I? Are our love languages different from each other? How does that impact our communication?
Tell Us:—->Have you read Dr. Chapman's book? What did you learn about your (or your child's) love language?

A very nice guy that you can trust with all your heart. Very energetic but can be quite stubborn at times. When it comes to him you can never win a fight. When he is dedicated to something he sticks with it. He is a very loving person and loves to cuddle. He is a person that would never want to let you go, he would make sure you never fall and he will always be there by your side when you really need him when your at your worst.

Stem cell transplantation is often used in patients with hematologic cancers who have had chemotherapy to help rebuild their blood-forming and immune systems. But not every patient has a stem cell donor who is a close enough genetic match.
In these cases, doctors may use umbilical cord blood, which is a rich source of stem cells. Cord blood collections from two newborns (a "double-unit" transplant) can be used to increase the number of cord blood cells patients receive, further enhancing their recovery. But even in this case, recovery can take a long time.
The purpose of this study is to see if recovery during the first few weeks after transplantation can be enhanced by using double-unit cord blood transplantation followed by an infusion of blood stem cells from a close relative in patients with hematological cancers that are advanced or at high risk of relapse. To prevent a potential complication of transplantation known as graft-versus-host disease (where the white blood cells from the donor attack the recipient's tissues), T cells will be removed from the relative's stem cells before giving them to the patient. This is known as "T-cell depletion."
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
For more information and to inquire about eligibility for this study, please contact Dr. Juliet Barker at 212-639-3468.
