My Life in Franceby Julia Child and Alex Prud'homme
Staff Pick An inspiring look at the life and times of the culinary genius, Julia Child's My Life in France is a good-humored memoir of her influential and transformative early experiences in France with her then new husband, Paul. Julia's devotees, as well as those less familiar, will equally enjoy the wit of her storytelling, and her gift for describing a great meal. Review-A-Day"[A] delightful and ebulliently written new memoir....The result is a tone that is pure Julia. One can almost hear her unforgettably fluty voice uttering such Julia-isms as 'ta-da!' 'ouf!' and 'phooey!' throughout the book. Her joy just about jumps off the book's pages....Julia Child was a natural teacher, and My Life in France makes that abundantly clear." Jennifer Wolcott, The Christian Science Monitor (read the entire CSM review) Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In her own words, here is the captivating story of Julia Child's years in France, where she fell in love with French food and found "her true calling."
From the moment the ship docked in Le Havre in the fall of 1948 and Julia watched the well-muscled stevedores unloading the cargo to the first perfectly soigné meal that she and her husband, Paul, savored in Rouen en route to Paris, where he was to work for the USIS, Julia had an awakening that changed her life. Soon this tall, outspoken gal from Pasadena, California, who didn't speak a word of French and knew nothing about the country, was steeped in the language, chatting with purveyors in the local markets, and enrolled in the Cordon Bleu. After managing to get her degree despite the machinations of the disagreeable directrice of the school, Julia started teaching cooking classes herself, then teamed up with two fellow gourmettes, Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, to help them with a book they were trying to write on French cooking for Americans. Throwing herself heart and soul into making it a unique and thorough teaching book, only to suffer several rounds of painful rejection, is part of the behind-the-scenes drama that Julia reveals with her inimitable gusto and disarming honesty. Filled with the beautiful black-and-white photographs that Paul loved to take when he was not battling bureaucrats, as well as family snapshots, this memoir is laced with wonderful stories about the French character, particularly in the world of food, and the way of life that Julia embraced so wholeheartedly. Above all, she reveals the kind of spirit and determination, the sheer love of cooking, and the drive to share that with her fellow Americans that made her the extraordinary success she became. Le voici. Et bon appétit! Review:"Like a surprise nougat bursting from the center of a chocolate truffle, My Life in France also serves up her moving romance with the Renaissance man of her life...her husband, Paul Child." Andrew Marton, The Philadelphia Inquirer
Review:"In mouth-watering detail, her learning years in Paris and the stellar career that followed." Meeta Agrawal, Life Magazine
Review:"Captures her charm, warmth, and, above all, her determined and robust spirit....Anyone who has heard her on television will immediately recognize the frank, jovial, and embracing tone." John Skoyles, The Seattle Times/Associated Press
Review:"What a joy...charming...inspiring." Jennifer Reese, Entertainment Weekly
Synopsis:Exuberant, affectionate, and boundlessly charming ("The New York Times"), this is the delightful and highly acclaimed memoir from the woman who revolutionized American cooking in the 20th century.

Sale, Kuroda out to keep stifling opposing offenses
Runs may be at a premium as White Sox, Yankees continue series
The White Sox and Yankees combined for nine runs Monday night. Chris Sale and Hiroki Kuroda have given up just 10 runs combined since June 22.
Sale and Kuroda will take the mound for Chicago and New York, respectively, on Tuesday night, meaning runs could be at a premium.
Sale has been one of the game's best pitchers despite having the lowest run support margin in the Major Leagues. The All-Star left-hander has a 2.92 ERA and 155 strikeouts, but the White Sox have averaged just 2.55 runs in games he's started, leaving him with a 6-11 record.
Sale will attempt to rebound against the Yankees after posting one of his worst starts Thursday, when he gave up five runs over five innings in a loss to the Indians.
"I'm not going to sit here and make excuses. I got my [rear end] kicked," Sale said after the game. "I wouldn't say that was my best stuff I featured, but you've still got to go out there and find a way and unfortunately I couldn't."
Kuroda hasn't gotten much run support either, but that didn't stop him from having a nearly unblemished month of July. The right-hander went 3-0 with an 0.55 ERA last month, allowing just two runs 33 innings over five starts.
The right-hander led the Yankees to a win on Wednesday in his last time out, throwing seven scoreless frames against the Dodgers while allowing just five hits.
"He was brilliant again," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after the game. "You think of his starts that he's had since the break, he's been really good for us."
Sale will be facing an offense that will be without a key piece. The Yankees placed shortstop Derek Jeter on the disabled list Monday for the third time this season with a right leg injury.
"It's been terrible. It's been like a nightmare," Jeter said Sunday of facing yet another injury. "The whole season has been a nightmare."
Kuroda is 2-1 with a 2.53 ERA in his career against the White Sox. Sale has been even better against the Yankees, going 1-1 with an 0.82 ERA.
Yankees: A-Rod makes 2013 debut
• The Yankees used their ninth starting third baseman of the season on Monday, and it was the guy they would have liked to have starting there all along.
Third baseman Alex Rodriguez made his long-awaited season debut, going 1-for-4 at the plate with a single, two flyouts and a strikeout.
Major League Baseball announced on Monday that Rodriguez would be suspended for the remainder of this season and all of 2014 for his connection to Biogenesis, but Rodriguez will be able to play for the Yankees as he appeals the suspension.
"I am so excited to have an opportunity to wear this uniform and help this team win," Rodriguez said. "There's a lot of baseball to be played for us this year and I hope that for one moment with this appeal process, we have the opportunity to talk about the greatest game in the world."
White Sox: Viciedo day to day
• In the first inning against the Yankees on Monday, Dayan Viciedo missed on a diving attempt to catch Robinson Cano's line drive to left field, but was able to recover, make the throw to second to beat the runner and record the final out of the inning.
But when his spot in the batting order came around in the bottom of the first, Alejandro De Aza had replaced him.
Viciedo was diagnosed with a jammed left thumb and X-rays on the injury came back negative, but it's possible he won't be able to play on Tuesday.
He's batting .250 with nine home runs and 32 RBIs this season.
Worth noting
• The White Sox snapped a 10-game losing streak with their win over the Yankees. It had been their longest losing streak since the 1976 season.

Reds call reinforcements to strike back vs. Cards
Mesoraco, Broxton expected back; Bailey, Lynn to duel in rematch
When the Reds and Cardinals meet once again on today, in their fifth game versus one another in this young season, Cincinnati will have some added reinforcements.
Primary catcher Devin Mesoraco should be back in the lineup, and reliever Jonathan Broxton could be ready to serve as the Reds' closer. Mesoraco was activated from the disabled list Monday but was not in the starting lineup. Broxton is a good bet for activation on Tuesday.
"It went good. There were no problems. I am 100 percent healthy and ready to go," said Mesoraco, who suffered a strained left oblique during the final week of Spring Training. He had a three-game rehab assignment at Double-A Pensacola.
Broxton got a late start in camp after he had surgery in August to repair a torn flexor tendon in his right forearm.
"Everything is good," Broxton said. "I felt good. I bounced back good."
One familiar sight on Tuesday will be the starting pitching matchup. The Cardinals are scheduled to start Lance Lynn against Homer Bailey, which was the matchup on Thursday, when St. Louis earned a 7-6 victory. Bailey lasted only 4 1/3 innings and gave up four runs.
Lynn, who gave up three first-inning runs over his five innings of work, felt that the Reds did a good job fouling off his fastball all game. It reminded him that he is going to have to be better at incorporating his offspeed pitches, which could be a tweak he makes to the game plan this time around.
"They were making sure they weren't going to get beat by my fastball," Lynn said. "When I threw some harder breaking stuff, it actually sped their bat up and helped them out. At times, I'm going to have to realize that's what they're going to do. I need to throw some slower offspeed stuff. I just have to keep improving, get my curveball and changeup where I need to be."
Cardinals: Ring ceremony on tap
The Cardinals raised their 2013 National League champions flag during home opener pregame festivities on Monday. Prior to Tuesday's game, players and coaches who were a part of that run to the World Series last October will be presented with their NL championship rings.
Fans attending the game will want to be in their seats early, as the ring ceremony is scheduled to begin at 6:40 p.m. CT. The Cardinals will also give rings to their Hall of Famers, as is tradition. This is the second time in the last three years that the Cardinals have held a ring ceremony during their season-opening homestand.
Reds: Seeking more from core
Three Reds core players -- Brandon Phillips, Joey Votto and Jay Bruce -- combined to go 0-for-9 in Monday's 5-3 loss. Phillips is batting .259 for the season, while Votto is off to a .240 start and Bruce is at .160.
Manager Bryan Price wasn't overly concerned about their slow start but is hopeful things heat up soon.
"These are the guys that, when the season is over, they're going to have their numbers," Price said. "They will be the performers that we know they are. Right now, almost collectively, we've struggled to do anything with guys in scoring position and have any sustained rallies. That will change, but it's tough to sit through it."
Worth noting
• Along with MLB.TV, Tuesday's game will be televised on FOX Sports 1, marking the first time the Cardinals and Reds will have one of their games broadcast by the new 24-hour sports network.
• Cardinals infielder Mark Ellis (patella tendinitis) resumed hitting on Monday after taking time off to rehab his left knee. Ellis is eligible to come off the disabled list on Friday, but he's not expected to be ready that early. The Cards have not yet determined when Ellis will start a Minor League rehab assignment.

Buying Tips
Consider the following factors when selecting your hunting boots:
- Weather-proof protection Think about your level of moisture exposure in the field. Trek through a swamp or dewy field with confidence in hunting boots treated for weather-proof and waterproof protection. A waterproof membrane is sewn in the lining of your boot between your foot and outer shell. Many brands come with specialized technologies, such as GORE-TEX®, to ensure both breathability and water-resistance.
- Insulation Look for an insulation system that keeps your boots warm yet lightweight. When hunting in mild conditions, uninsulated or minimally insulated boots prevent your feet from overheating. Mid-weight boots are ideal for a mid-season hunt, while rugged cold-weather boots are available for extreme conditions. Soft, brushed inner liners add comfort during difficult conditions
- Traction Select from hunting boots with deep molded rubber lugs along the outsole and cleat designs for traction in a varied terrain. A built-in shank within the midsole of your hunting boot helps bolster stability when you need it most
Expert Advice
Heading through a marsh or creek on your hunt? Try a pair of rubber hunting boots. Rubber boots are scent-free and-ultra waterproof. Look for rubber hunting boots built with vulcanized rubber.

The world of Professional Wrestling is filled with strong larger than life personalities. One of the most flamboyant characters from the 70's and 80's with out a doubt would have to be Adrian Street and Mrs Linda. They were quite a duo to be messed with during their major run in the 80's thru our all of the major territories. Adrian also has a very high opinion of himself which makes the interview very enjoyable at times to listen to him speak about his different runs over the years wether in be in Memphis TN, Florida, NWA, over seas and many of the other great wrestling territories throughout the 80's that he worked.
Adrain talks about getting into the business as a teenager. How did he turn into such a exotic character and why did his family try to keep him down? What did Adrain think of the Stu Hart Dungeon and who did he not get along with right off the bat in Canada. Did he like to wrestle in Mexico and how did he adjust to that style. Adrain worked also on the West Coast as well and he recounts his travels with Miss Linda thru out the Western wrestling companies as well as working for the Labelles.
Why did he not like wrestling in Memphis and what was Jerry Lawler and Jerry Jarrett like to work for. What was Jim Cornette like as a young rookie. You will hear about how political that locker room was as well. One of his best times was when he worked down in Florida for Eddie Graham. He talks about his feuds with Dusty Rhodes, Magnum TA, Barry Whindham. What happened back stage when Ric Flair over heard Adrain Street talking about not letting Flair go to town on him in the ring?
We must talk about SouthWest Championship wrestling as well as all the greats from that promotion like Tully and Gino. Adrain talks about what it was like to work for a bully in Cowboy Bill Watts company. We also talk all about his career in the music world and his almost fist fight with Randy Savage in Memphis. If your a fan of Adrian Street we asked him about every company that he has worked for and your going to love this Exotic shoot interview.

In this follow-up to their successful Cast Iron Skillet Cookbook, Sharon Kramis and Julie Kramis Hearne show off the many virtues of that kitchen standby, the Dutch oven. Whether the model in hand is a well-used and blackened garage-sale find, or the latest celery-green item from La Creuset, this thing really cooks. This is the pot for slow cooking, simmering pot roats and chicken stews. It works on the stovetop and in the oven.
Sharon Kramis was a student and protege of James Beard and coauthor of Northwest Bounty. Her daughter Julie Kramis Hearne was a chef at the Herbfarm for many years and has owned a chain of panini shops. Both live in Seattle.
I bought two of these cookbooks, one for me and on for my dad. I have yet to try out an actual recipe, but they look and sound good in the book. It also gives nice tips on how to use an indoor enamel dutch oven.
It looks like a nice book for the price but it is printed on very cheep paper and you can tell the binding will not hold up. I was going to give this as a gift but it's just to cheep looking will have to shop for something else.
I send this to my daughter for a Christmas present and she never got it. when I checked you guys comfrimed that it was delivered. She got her other things that I ordered from you but she did not get the cook book! everything was send out at different time so I don't know what happened.
As a newly wed I was given a dutch oven as a wedding gift and wanted some ideas on ways to use it. This cookbook is great. I am an RN working LOOONG days so I look forward to being able to throw in ingredients while it does the work for me =)
Perfect while purchasing our new dutch oven. Very easy and delious receipes -- also a great gift idea.
Great product! The price was right and the shipping was quick and very inexpensive. I don, know how you guys do it but keep up the great work

Multiple endocrine neoplasia, type II (MEN II) is disorder passed down through families in which one or more of the endocrine glands are overactive or form a tumor. Endocrine glands most commonly involved include:
See also: MEN I
Sipple syndrome; MEN II
The cause of MEN II is a defect in a gene called RET. This defect causes many tumors to appear in the same person, but not necessarily at the same time.
A tumor in the adrenal gland is called a pheochromocytoma.
A tumor in the thyroid gland is a medullary carcinoma of the thyroid.
Tumors in the thyroid, adrenal, or parathyroid glands may occur years apart.
The disorder may occur at any age, and affects men and women equally. The main risk factor is a family history of MEN II.
There are two subtypes of MEN II -- MEN IIa and IIb. MEN IIb is less common.
The symptoms may vary. However, they are similar to those of:
To diagnose this condition, the health care provider looks for a mutation in the RET gene. This can be done with a blood test. Additional tests are done to determine which hormones are being overproduced.
A physical examination may reveal:
Imaging tests used to identify tumors may include:
Blood tests are used to see how well certain glands in the body are working. They may include:
Other tests or procedures that may be done include:
Surgery is needed to remove pheochromocytoma.
For medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, the thyroid gland and surrounding lymph nodes must be totally removed. Thyroid hormone replacement therapy is given after surgery.
If a child is known to carry the RET gene mutation, surgery to remove the thyroid before it becomes cancerous is considered. This should be discussed with a physician who is very familiar with this condition. It would be done at an early age (before age 5) in people with known MEN IIa, and before age 6 months in people with MEN IIb.
Pheochromocytoma is usually not cancerous (benign). Medullary carcinoma of the thyroid is a very aggressive and potentially fatal cancer. However, early diagnosis and surgery can often lead to a cure.
The spread of cancerous cells is a possible complication.
Call your health care provider if you notice symptoms of MEN II or if someone in your family receives such a diagnosis.
Screening close relatives of people with MEN II may lead to early detection of the syndrome and related cancers.

1027: Pickup Artist
Pickup Artist |
Title text: Son, don't try to play 'make you feel bad' with the Michael Jordan of making you feel bad. |
[edit] Explanation
Hairy and Cueball are sitting at a table with drinks. Hairy tells Cueball that he's learned some pickup artist tricks. Cueball is appalled, declaring that pickup artists are "dehumanizing creeps". Hairy argues that he's simply learning new tactics such as "negging" (undercutting the target's self-esteem so that she'll feel vulnerable and crave approval), evidently oblivious to the fact that he's proving Cueball's point. Rejecting Cueball's advice to simply talk to women "like a fucking human being", Hairy sets off to try out the technique.
Meanwhile, Black Hat and Danish are sitting at another table. Black Hat leaves to roll a bowling ball through the rest room stalls to smash the feet of anyone there using them. As people sit down to use a bathroom stall most of the time, their feet would be vulnerable to being hit in sequence. Perhaps Black Hat is going for a 'strike'. Hairy approaches Danish, while Cueball looks on and says "oh no" — seemingly recognizing Danish and anticipating the disaster Hairy is walking into.
Hairy makes an attempt at "negging" by suggesting that Danish's fruit plate reflects a need to lose weight. Danish, naturally being a master at psychological manipulation, immediately realizes his game, and crushes him utterly by taking another shot in the psychological dark (440: Road Rage) — telling him that he's trapped in an endless cycle of failure because he's ultimately a mediocre person and will never do anything of value with his life. Demoralized, Hairy declares that he needs to go home and think about his life; Danish tells him "It won't help," since she's just finished telling him that he'll never succeed at changing.
The title text refers to Michael Jordan, a very popular and accomplished basketball player who played for the Chicago Bulls and the Washington Wizards. His name is often used as a noun to denote that someone is the best in their field, which is later used in 1120: Blurring the Line.
The pick up subject and Hairy returned in 1178: Pickup Artists.

Penny Arcade had a fascinating exchange on this subject a while back: http://www.penny-arcade.com/2009/08/10 - start in the last paragraph of the first post, and note that until "Follow up" the argument is mostly feigned. Especially read the two long posts at the end.
The biggest message I got out of it is that "pickup artistry" to many awkward people (aka nerds) is actually "learning how to fit in better socially and get over crippling anxiety when talking to women, or even in social situations generally." Negging, then, is not "lowering women's self-esteem to sleep with them", but is engaging in the gentle teasing and joking around that occurs between friends - the "diet" example Randall proposes is a terrible one. In that way you're acting less like you're treating your social partner as some untouchable object of worship (which most of us would agree is creepy as hell). It's very hard for those without any sort of crippling social anxiety to imagine trying to be socially active under those circumstances. Is it sad that "normal" comfort level and social graces didn't develop naturally, such that some nerds have to "learn" these things? Perhaps. Does that mean we should shame all nerds for trying to fit in, labeling them "dehumanizing creeps"? Yell at anyone with low self-esteem "HAVE MORE CONFIDENCE, LOSER!"? I hope not.
Of course there are jerks who will use this stuff for evil. Maybe more of them than the nerds, I have no idea. It's also possible these anxiety-fighting methods have better alternatives. Just another perspective I didn't know about until reading about it, which made me take Randall's one-sided, there-can-be-no-other-explanation comments on the subject with a grain of salt. But, still a funny strip, so whatevs. - jerodast (talk) 16:17, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
- I loved the strip because of throwing a bowling ball under a line of stalls (which isn't creepy nor dehumanizing?) but anyhow... I agree with you. I used to be virtually unable to talk to women, let alone flirt. I used pickup tips to break out of my shell and learn how to be a sociable person. Today, most new people I meet can't believe I used to be that shy, I actually had my best friend talk bad about me to my girlfriend who couldn't believe that at all. Guess what ... she loves me for being a good and honest person. The only thing pickup learned me was to show my honest and good side to other people in a normal, non creepy way.
- That being said. It is insulting that an otherwise smart person like Randall couldn't see the different aspects of pickup and rather just go with the popular "creep" definition. Then again, Baret Guy is just a cliche asshole. Maybe that's the lesson, neither pickup artists nor assholes are good choices for women. 18.104.22.168 15:55, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
- What do you two think that the phrase pickup artist literally means? If you want to develop into a good and honest person, how could the way be to learn pickup tricks aiming to seduce and fuck women? If you meet someone that wants to learn to be more romantic, suggest them to read Pride and Prejudice, or watch Casablanca. –St.nerol (talk) 20:03, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
Trying to be a "Romantic" upon first meeting a girl is going to crash and burn 99/100 HARD. The reason being, romance is wonderful when you are already IN a relationship, but it is a terrible way to start. The hollywood version of "Romance" isn't even anywhere NEAR what a real healthy relationship full of problems and compromises and arguments and give and take is. As one of those "Nerds" with crippling social anxiety I tried that. I watched Casablanca, wonderful film. I grew up treating every girl/woman I met as though they where a princess. I was the most romantic person I could possibly be. It got me nowhere. Actually it got me called a creep on dozens of occasions. The few times a woman would respond favorably she was just using me for whatever petty bs she wanted at the time, rides, drinks, etc.
The real world you have to find the middle way. Neither bag-em-and-tag-em womanizing, nor putting women on an impossible pedestal. Everything I know about "Normal" human interaction I learned from pickup artist books and shows. The whole point was to learn how to be at ease around people and have them at ease around you. Are there goofy tricks sure. Do I personally think negging for the most part is bs, absolutely. It isnt there to be used as a cureall. The purpose of negging is to bring the super full of herself party girl back down to planet earth in a gentle way. To let her not walk all over you. Its not to try and make someone feel bad, but to instead imply that you aren't going to be their whipping boy. Properly used, it just is a way to show you've got balls. 184.108.40.206 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- To the unsigned person who wrote that: Do you realize you're displaying a markedly negative attitude towards women in general? Even the very idea of being "romantic" right off the bat shows a belief that women aren't actual human beings, they only exist to be targets of your sexual aggression. When you don't respect someone as a human being, get to know them, etc., you set yourself up for disappointment. It *is* creepy, exactly the same as PoA techniques. The goal isn't to get to know someone to see if you're compatible; it's to manipulate them and coerce them into "feeling at ease" or into a semblance of a relationship. And if you despise a woman enough to describe her as a "super full of herself party girl", why in the world would you want a relationship with her? You yourself state that you don't, you just want to cut her down and prove your own power. Your techniques have nothing to do with establishing a communication between equals and everything to do with establishing yourself as dominant and powerful and women as powerless. 18.104.22.168 21:45, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- From my limited perspective, a "pickup artist " is a person, usually male, who tries to coerce or "pick up" others, usually female, for a night out, usually for intercourse. However the technique used can be employed in a variety of ways or for a variety of purposes. Apparently, it is an effective way to start a conversation with someone you are romantically interested in. That is,if you are intending to go into that direction. I'm not sure if a pickup artist actually studies the so called art, or if they just employ their skills as often as possible. I can see why some can be considered "dehumanizing creeps" but the art itself is not necessarily dehumanizing.
- On a less serious note, what Danish is doing is technically not negging. In the comic, negging is described as a way to get someone to seek your approval, where Danish only seems to want to make the guy feel bad. ~Alithia 220.127.116.11 03:05, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
My perfect woman, right there! - E-inspired (talk) 22:29, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
The last picture reminds me of a szene in Star Wars Episode II, when Obi-Wan executes the Jedi Mind Trick on Elan Sleazebaggano. See http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0121765/quotes for details. --Kigana (talk) 15:59, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

Review: Mount Gay Eclipse Black
Posted by Arctic Wolf on October 16, 2011
Mount Gay Rum has added another member to their family of Rums, Mount Gay Eclipse Black. Like the other rums of Mount Gay, The Black Eclipse is produced from two types of stills, the traditional pot still and the column still. According to the information provided to me, the Mount Gay Eclipse Black features a higher percentage of rum from the pot still than the other Eclipse Rums. As well, the rum is blended from well aged stocks of several different barrel types. The combination of these two factors is said yield a bolder, richer, more robust and flavorful rum. Finally, it has also been bottled at 50 % alcohol by volume, higher than the Eclipse Gold or Mount Gay XO, which helps to bring this robust flavour forward even more.
Recently the distributor for Mount Gay Rum (Select Wines), arranged for me to receive a sample of the Mount Gay Eclipse Black Rum for the purpose of reviewing their new rum here on my website.
Here is an excerpt from my review:

Please enjoy the review and the new cocktail. Cheers!

Fibromyalgia is a complex, chronic, and debilitating condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, in conjunction with specific tender (trigger) points, generalized fatigue, and sleep disturbance. People with this syndrome may also experience gastrointestinal disorders, headaches, trouble concentrating, or psychological symptoms, such as anxiety or depression.
It is estimated that approximately 2% of adults in the United States have fibromyalgia. The majority of the people with fibromyalgia are women, but the condition can occur in men and children as well. Most cases occur between the ages of 20 and 60 years, although fibromyalgia can develop at any age.
The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, and there has been significant controversy in the medical community about its origin.
Currently, there are several theories regarding possible causes of fibromyalgia, including the following:
Sleep Disorders —Sleep researchers have noted that fibromyalgia patients consistently show a disturbance during the stage IV (delta) cycle of sleep, which is considered the deepest and most restorative phase of sleep. Lack of restful sleep may be the cause of the overwhelming fatigue experienced by many fibromyalgia patients.
Infectious Trigger —Some researchers believe that there may be a viral or infectious agent that triggers the onset of fibromyalgia.
Preceding Incidence of Trauma —A high percentage of patients have reported traumatic emotional or physical events, such as an automobile accident or divorce, shortly before the onset of fibromyalgia symptoms. Although it is not believed that the events themselves cause fibromyalgia, they may serve as triggers in people who are genetically or otherwise susceptible to developing this syndrome.
Biochemical Abnormalities in the Nervous System —Studies have shown that people with fibromyalgia often have highly elevated levels of Substance P, a pain neurotransmitter, in their spinal fluid. Levels of other neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, or hormones, such as cortisol and growth hormone, may play a role in fibromyalgia patients.
Researchers continue to explore these and other explanations for the possible causes of fibromyalgia. Currently there is no cure, but symptoms can be diminished by a combination of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments.
Doctors have noted that many people with fibromyalgia are also likely to have other syndromes, such as:
There has been some speculation that fibromyalgia may not be a separate condition, but instead represents a constellations of symptoms that overlaps with other illnesses, all of which may have the same cause or causes, which are still unknown.

Will linux gain some psuedo filesystems one day ? Seems awesome! PsuedoFS for the win!a psuedo file-system
Phoronix: DIRFS: A DragonFlyBSD File-System For Virtual Kernels
DIRFS was committed today as a new file-system for the DragonFlyBSD operating system. DIRFS isn't some competitor to the distribution's HAMMER (or the forthcoming HAMMER2 file-system), but it's a simple file-system implementation designed for use by the operating system's virtual kernel architecture...
Will linux gain some psuedo filesystems one day ? Seems awesome! PsuedoFS for the win!a psuedo file-system
Does Linux have anything similar to DIRFS?
Could DIRFS be ported from DragonFly BSD to Linux?
Linux have a couple pseudo file systems.
devfs, debugfs, procfs, tmpfs, sysfs, are pseudo file systems.
Probably there are many pseudo file systems and virtual file systems implemented atop of FUSE.
Like file system for wiki, FTP, WebDAV, etc.
Plan 9 from Bell Labs drove the "everything is a file" idea further and made network computing and distributed computing more transparent with remote file systems mounted as if they were local.
Plan 9 have a commercial derivative called Inferno.
Some tools from Plan 9 have been ported to Linux as "Plan 9 from User Space".
Some things originally developed conceived for Plan 9 have been adopted by Linux and other operating systems, such as Unicode and /sys/ (sysfs), union mounts, etc.

Babylon A.D.
It is the not-too-distant future. Thousands of satellites scan, observe and monitor our every move. Much of the planet is a war zone; the rest, a collection of wretched way stations, teeming megalopolises, and vast wastelands punctuated by areas left radioactive from nuclear meltdowns. It is a world made for hardened warriors, one of whom, a mercenary known only as Toorop, lives by a simple survivor's code: kill or be killed. His latest assignment has him smuggling a young woman named Aurora from a convent in Kazakhstan to New York City. Toorop, his new young charge Aurora and Aurora's guardian Sister Rebeka embark on a 6,000-mile journey that takes them from Eastern Europe, through a refugee camp in "New Russia," across the Bering Straight in a pilfered submarine, then through the frozen tundra of Alaska and Canada, and finally to New York. Facing obstacles at every turn, Toorop, the killer for hire, is tested like never before, in ways he could never have imagined--as he comes to understand that he is the custodian of the only hope for the future of mankind. For the first time in his life, Toorop has to make a choice: to make a difference or walk away and save himself. Too bad it came on the day he died.

Is Very Big the Shale Gas reserve of China.
With the advent of surging of shale gas in ChinaI don't have any figures in front of me but I can see in the futurea possible glut in world LNG as North America is building up the ability to ship LNG to Asia, from the West coast and from the South East via the almost nearly completed enlarged panama canal.. With this in mind I would like to an article about world supply of gas, who needs it and who has it for sale now and in the 10 year future.
A searchable database of project activity in the global hydrocarbon processing industry
Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

This has nothing to do with the Hough Complex.
