dc.description.abstract | Human T cell development within the thymus is a well-characterized event, and it is known that a functional thymus is required for normal T cell generation to take place. Individuals with poor thymic function, from either congenital abnormality or post-natal injury, have a difficult time mounting a proper immune response and suffer from debilitating immune deficiency. Thus, it would be highly beneficial to identify an extrathymic human tissue that can support T cell differentiation so that we may eventually augment T cell production in these individuals. However, to date, no definitive site of extrathymic T cell development has been established. In this study, we used flow cytometry to identify five populations of putative extrathymic T cell precursors within the human pediatric tonsil. These populations range from an early CD34+CD38dimLin- subset all the way to a CD1a+CD4+CD8+CD3+/- double positive pre-T cell. Each subset identified phenotypically resembles the same population found in the human thymus, suggesting that there is considerable similarity between the cells in each of these two tissues. Furthermore, each putative extrathymic T cell developmental intermediate found within the tonsil retains the ability to develop into a mature CD3+ T cell. Thus, our data suggest that the human tonsil contains a full spectrum of T cell developmental intermediates that are remarkably similar to those found in the human thymus, and that the tonsil may be an extrathymic site which supports complete T cell differentiation. | en_US |

My 6-month old's short naps
My 6-month-old son is trying to take these itty bitty 20 minute naps instead of normal hour-long (or longer naps). My daughter (now 3) did the same thing when she was a baby. The difference is, if I let her cry for a few minutes, she'd almost always fall back to sleep. Eventually she stopped waking up after such a short time and started taking normal naps.
My son, however, will NOT go back to sleep. And I let him cry and he happens to fall back to sleep, he wakes up again in ANOTHER 20 minutes. However, if I put him in his swing, he'll nap for up to 2 hours! He's too big to be napping in the swing at 6 months, plus it's inconvenient because he can't sleep at a babysitter's (or Mimi's) house.
Did anyone else have this problem with their children? What should I do when he wakes up? He DEFINITELY needs more sleep. He is miserable if he doesn't get enough sleep. He doesn't take a pacifier. He's not hungry (I feed him before naps). There's nothing "wrong" with him. He just doesn't stay asleep! Help!
Do you have him on a schedule of any kind or are the naps not scheduled? I know for my kids it helped if I would keep them on a pretty strict schedule for a while with the naps. Eventually they got used to it and would stay up when it wasn't nap time and were able to sleep better when it was.
I know this can be frustrating! My middle child was like that and it was hard with her, but we did make it through and you will too!

Editorial: California must insist on full disclosure of chemicals used in oil and gas 'fracking'
For decades in California, energy companies have used a method called hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," to extract deposits of oil and natural gas from deep underground. The process involves injecting pressurized water, sand and chemical additives into a wellbore to fracture the rock formations to get at the fossil fuels.
The oil industry lauds hydraulic fracturing for unlocking enormous amounts of domestic gas and oil. In a recent letter to The Bee, Catherine Reheis-Boyd, president of the Western States Petroleum Association, said that this process "has been employed in California for 60 years and there has never been evidence that it has caused harm to water supplies or the environment."
Reheis-Boyd's unflinching confidence reminds us of chemical industry claims that DDT was safe in the 1950s or oil industry claims in the 1990s that MTBE, a gasoline additive, was safe. After all, if something has been used widely for many years, it can't be harmful, right?
The reality is, with fracking, we just don't know. The process has been little studied in California and nationwide by independent scientists. Only now is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency launching a truly independent study of how fracking could affect drinking water supplies. The EPA released a progress report on that study last week, and hopes to have some firmer results next year, assuming the oil industry allows it to study a site before and after fracking.
Here in the Golden State, the stakes couldn't be higher. California is the nation's third-largest producer of oil, and is home to the largest oil shale formation in the continental United States – the Monterey Shale. Oil companies are preparing to expand exploratory wells into that deep deposit, which runs from Los Angeles to Northern California and is thought to contain 15 billion barrels of oil.
Under pressure from environmentalists, the administration of Gov. Jerry Brown last week released preliminary draft regulations on fracking. To its credit, the California Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources wants energy companies, for the first time, to disclose where they are engaged in hydraulic fracturing. Regulators say the proposed rules contain some of the strongest provisions in the nation, including a requirement that oil companies test the integrity of their wells to guard against leaks of fracturing chemicals and report those test results to the state.
That's a step forward, but the draft regulations would still allow energy companies to withhold what kind of chemicals they are using, if they deem their formulas to be "trade secrets." Industry officials say disclosure of proprietary formulas would stifle competition and prevent extraction of an important natural resource.
Sorry, but as valuable as fossil fuels are, California groundwater is a much more treasured resource, and it needs to be protected. We don't allow food companies to withhold the fact they might be adding carcinogenic chemicals to their recipes. Why should we allow oil companies to do the same with fracking?
California must insist on full disclosure on fracking chemicals. If regulators think they lack the authority to order such disclosure, then the Legislature will need to pass legislation to make it the law of the land.

Sick of the workaday grind at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Homer comes up with a scheme to gain enough weight to be classified as disabled, thereby earning the right to work from home. With a target weight of 300 pounds in mind, he eats everything in site, including Maggie's Play-Doh. Fat as a tick, Homer is granted his wish to work from home, but it's not all he thought it would be when he finds that he's too fat to stop an imminent disaster in the plant's reactor core. The only thing big enough to stop the explosion is Homer's enormous body, which he manages to wedge into an exploding tank. Having saved the plant and the town, he is rewarded for his efforts with a free liposuction courtesy of Mr. Burns.

MikeG December 19, 2012 12:59 PM F1 » Razia caught out by Marussia move I agree 100% with Spud. The FIA should nominate a number of 'wings and slicks' classes as the natural feeders for F1. If you haven't WON a championship in one of these classes then you shouldn't qualify for an F1 license. This would force the F1 teams to seek their revenue from legitimate sponsorship rather than from rich wannabe drivers. Reply Report abuse 1 agree 0 disagree

MikeG October 15, 2012 1:41 PM F1 » Further frustration for Mercedes @Zelda ... Brawn GP if you remember correctly exploited the diffuser rule with their double diffuser which gave them a huge advantage over the other teams. That is the only reason that they won the championship ... in fact in the second half of the year they were pretty dismal and done their best to lose it. ~~ kind of similar to the double DRS that they tried this year, with less success ~~ Nobody is doubting German Engineering ... in fact the opposite ... what I am saying is that the effort that Merc have put into their return to F1 by purchasing Brawn GP is unfitting such a great marque with such an exceptional racing history. They should have started a team from scratch ... without the dead wood ... and they would have been winning by now. Reply Report abuse 0 agree 0 disagree

We need to take F1 back to the traditional racetracks and get back to grass-roots racing.

Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 3 votes Best answer Here's a Doubles Uber team I use on the Shoddy servers from time to time. RAYQUAZA: Opens with Salamence for Weather negation and Wallbreaking. Cover each other well, and are perfect counters for both Groudon and Kyogre. It packs Outrage, Extremespeed, Thunderbolt, and Crunch. Mainly used to negate weather, and counter Mewtwo, Deoxys, and Kyogre. SALAMENCE: Opens up with Rayquaza, and helps to Wallbreak. His immense attacking stats and good Speed help him make a good lead. His moveset is Draco Meteor, Aqua Tail, Earthquake, and Stone Edge. Mainly used as a wallbreaker, and to counter Dialga, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Groudon, and Palkia. GIRATINA-A: Makes an incredible wall for your team. It's the main supporter and crippler. It will be used in conunction with Deoxys-D to make efficient switches. Its moveset is Will-O-Wisp, Thunder Wave, Shadow Claw , and Dragon Claw. DEOXYS-D: The defensive switch-in can take almost any attack, and is made as a Stall. It's immense bulk and fair speed may even let you outrun a few major threats with the right EV investment! It's packing Recover, Toxic, Psycho Boost, and Brick Break (For a good counter to mid-game variations of Darkrai and Dialga). LUGIA: Your team's offensive Dual Screener! It's quite a wonder. Its typing blocks out some annoying attacks (Earthquake, Focus Blast, Solarbeam), and its job is to set up dual screens, and sweep afterwards! Carry Light Screen and Reflect (Make sure it's holding Light Clay!), along with two attacking moves. Want my opinion? I for one, put on Dragon pulse / Rush and Waterfall / Surf. Obviously, this is for neutral coverage. If you want to take a stall approach, equip it with Toxic and Recover, like with Deoxys-D. HEATRAN: Noticed quite a few dragons on the team, right? Here's your answer! Heatran may be very vulnerable to Earthquake, but with the right switches, it can come in safely and counter anything carrying an Ice or Dragon move. On my Heatran, I've got Heat Wave, Flash Cannon, Earth Power, And Dragon Pulse. I'm not one for recklessness, but put a Choice Scarf on Heatran. The extra Speed is what it needs to switch in, take a hit, and retaliate with a strong attack, or cripple it to slow down the opponent's sweep. answered Nov 7, 2010 by ~-~WILL~-~ Wait, where can you do double-battles on Shoddy?

Inside the Beltway
CEI's Myron Ebell
The bad news is that Members of Congress have returned from their August recess. The good news is that action on reconciling the House and Senate anti-energy bills is likely to be put off until later this fall because of all the appropriations bills that need to be passed before October 1st and the desire of Senate and House leaders to spend a lot of floor time on the war in Iraq.
The U. S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers together have started running full page ads opposing the anti-energy bills. The ads say that the bills "will raise energy costs and put Americans out of work." Given the varying interests of the members of these two organizations, this is remarkably direct.
On global warming legislation, my sense is that the rush to enact cap-and-trade is also slowing down. Senators Lieberman and Warner may try to mark up a bill in their Senate EPW subcommittee later this month. But there are serious obstacles. On the House side, Rep. John Dingell, chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, continues to give Speaker Nancy Pelosi heartburn by promoting his carbon tax proposal.
Across the States
ALEC's Daniel Simmons
The California State Legislature is considering a bill that would fight climate by telling communities how they can develop. The measure, S. 375, would link the state funding for local transportation projects to a municipality's adoption of low carbon development plans. By holding transportation funds hostage, the S. 375 proponents hope to halt suburban sprawl and instead force local governments to push Californians into high density, transit friendly urban areas, which are thought to be less carbon intensive. The bill is modeled upon a similar effort in Portland. Unfortunately for the bill's proponents, the Portland model has been exposed as a failure, which means California's legislators are trying to tell their constituents how to live, for no discernable reason.
Also in the Golden State: Blackouts! It's hot in So Cal, and people are using more energy than is produced, which has led to power outages in San Diego and Orange Counties. As it so happens, this energy shortage coincides with the shelving of plans for a coal fired power plant in Utah, which would have generated energy for export to Southern California. Plans for the plant faltered because the largest investors – municipal utilities in Southern California – had to pull out because state law (S. 1368) forbids them from investing in coal power.
Around the world
CEI's Iain Murray
The Vienna global warming conference ended last Friday with yet another defeat for those in favor of mandatory emissions caps, as predicted here. The meeting of the parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, aimed at kick-starting negotiations over a successor to the Kyoto Protocol, which ends in 2012, refused to adopt an EU proposal based on findings from the IPCC that would commit industrialized nations to consider reducing emissions by 25-40 percent by 2020. The proposal was opposed by Canada, Switzerland, New Zealand, Japan and Russia, amongst others. With reference to the IPCC findings, the conference said that they provided "useful initial parameters for the overall level of ambition of further emissions reductions."
Faced with such a rebuff, Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel, currently spearheading the EU's efforts at securing major emissions cuts, has turned to the "contraction and convergence" idea of basing emissions on population previously advanced by France. This policy would be acceptable to large developing nations, like China and India, while severely punishing the US and other nations that use energy efficiently.
Issue of the Week:
Who is well funded?
Perhaps you read Newsweek's recent cover story on the "well-funded" global warming "denial machine." According to the article, the naysayers have been financed to the tune of almost twenty million dollars over the last decade. That's a lot of money, but how does it stack up against what global warming alarmists spend to scare the public?
Already, green groups spend more than 100 million dollars, every year, to influence the climate change debate. We can expect that sum to rise significantly, because Al Gore is set to launch a climate change public awareness campaign. Ad agencies trying to land the contract have pitched a marketing campaign to Gore that would cost another 100 million dollars a year.
Again, who is "well funded"?!

This workshop paper
describes my implementation for Smalltalk, which is an optimization of
the Deutsch Schiffman mechanism for Smalltalk-80. This uses a
compilation model typical of lisp implementations where closed-over
temporary variables accessed from multiple scopes are held in a
garbage-collected array on the heap, one per dynamic scope). But
notional heap contexts are in fact mapped to stack frames, so that one
has a virtual heap-resident object-per-frame call stack and heap objects
are only created when stack frames are accessed as such e.g. by a debugger.

The first warning about this park is that the gated entry to the camping area is very narrow. It is a gate controlled by the office, and a guard is there at night to open if for you. Go slowly, as there is about 6" on either side of your mirror to slip through. The next thing to notice is that there are lots of speed bumps on the long narrow road to the back camping area. Once you make it to your site you will find that they are good size and not too close together. When we finally got to our site, there was someone camped there already that had no plans to move. We got a different site down the road. Many owners or permanents here. If I came back to the area, I would look around for a different option. We camped at R Ranch in the Mountains in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: January, 2014 - $15.00
$15.00 rate is Passport America and off season. Great place, paved sites with plenty of room between sites. No wifi or cable at sites, but the area is so pretty that you won't want to stay inside. Wifi is available in laundry areas. I would give R-Ranch a ten except the roads to the ranch are very narrow and winding. Follow the earlier poster's advise and come in off Yahoola Road. The people working at R-Ranch are all very nice and helpful. When we arrived there was a problem with the electric and within five minutes of our call they arrived and fixed the problem. Park is clean and well kept. We camped at R Ranch in the Mountains in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: July, 2013 - $15.00
Windy mountain road to get there, but so worth the trip. Not a setting for anyone wanting shopping convenience and good TV, but very nicely maintained resort and sites (good gravel), beautiful mountain horse ranch setting and well cleaned bathrooms. Wi-Fi is available at laundry rooms adjacent to nearby bathhouses. We were there as Coast to Coast members and would definitely return. We camped at R Ranch in the Mountains in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: November, 2012 - $15.00
Beautiful campground nestled in the hills of the Georgia mountains. It is a gated community with security. We made our reservation using our Passport America membership. Our site was in RV5. Located in a small valley between two hills the area was beautiful with vibrant fall colors by day and starlit skies at night. Our pull thru site was a concrete slab, level and large enough to hold our 40ft travel trailer, tow vehicle and another vehicle. The slab was also wide enough that everything under the extended awning was able to sit on concrete. We had full hook up, 50amp, 30amp, and household plugs were available on the pedestal, no cable. TV antenna reception was marginal on 6 channels. If you want a fire bring your own fire pit, no ground fires. There are horse stables on the property and trail rides are available. We saw two playgrounds, a lake and a nice looking chapel. The Staff we met were friendly, kind and courteous. Just a suggestion!! When driving to R Ranch from Dahlonega which about 7 miles away. Take the left fork onto Yahoola Road off of 19. From Yahoola Road turn right onto Stone Pile Gap Road and R Ranch will be on your left as you approach. The entrance is in a right turning curve so you almost drive straight into the main entrance. There are 3 slots for parking while registering. If you drive on 19 until the R Ranch signs you will turn left off of 19 and your next turn is a tight hairpin turn to the left as you drive to the R Ranch. From this direction as you approach the entrance you will be in a left turning curve and have to make a 120 degree right turn to enter. Arrival from Yahoola Road also provides a milder grade, not as steep as directly off of 19 at the R Ranch signs. We camped at R Ranch in the Mountains in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: July, 2012 - $10.00
Enjoyed our stay at this park. Beautiful location tucked in the mountains. Stayed in the RV-5 area with concrete pad. Only drawback is the swimming pool is at the lodge, quite a distance from the campground. We booked through Coast-to-Coast. Campground charged an extra $2.50 a night user fee. We camped at R Ranch in the Mountains in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: October, 2011 - $1.00
OK, I called this place. It is a "PRIVATE" resort only, so unless you are an owner or guest of an owner, or Passport America member: you are not camping here. Previous reviews leave this small detail out. So, this is not a pull up or make reservations kind of a place. Just FYI. We camped at R Ranch in the Mountains in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: December, 2010 - $35.00
One of the nicest RV spots I have ever stayed at. Quiet; beautiful rolling hills; 2 lakes; fishing; horses on premises; gated and secure. Family friendly. Planned seasonal activities. HUGE RV sites; trees; streams; serenity. Has annual lease sites so depending on month of visit, some RV's appear "stored". They are not. Separate storage area, out of sight. Beautiful lodge and pool. Site of many, many weddings. DAHLONEGA, GA, 6 miles away. Touristy area. Bring your RV and try it out ! We camped at R Ranch in the Mountains in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: September, 2010 - $10.00
This is a beautiful park. We were here under Coast to Coast and were given a great site in section RV5. It was a back-in with a concrete pad and lots of grass on both sides. There is Wi-Fi, but only at the Lodge (which is a beautiful facility). There is no cable tV, you have to use your own antenna or satellite dish. If you are an AT&T customer, you will have almost no cell coverage. We stayed for four nights and really enjoyed the park and surrounding area. We camped at R Ranch in the Mountains in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: June, 2010 - $35.00
One of the best! Very nice, no junk lying around. Excellent maintenance, and very friendly and efficient staff. Only drawback was Wi-Fi is only available at lodge/office. Great place with fishing, horses, and atmosphere. We camped at R Ranch in the Mountains in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: March, 2007 - $8.00
We stayed here as Coast to Coast members, but were only given a site in their overflow area 30amps/water (there were full hookup sites sitting empty). This is a beautiful campground, but felt like we were 2nd class citizens coming in on a coast to coast deluxe membership. We looked to be the only "live campers" in the park, most of the spots were filled with empty ownership RVs. We were told that they had a storage lot, but looked like the RV spots were being used for storage. Doubt that we will make the side trip to stay here again. We camped at R Ranch in the Mountains in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: February, 2007 - $8.00
We stayed here as Coast to Coast members. Coast to Coast members cannot use sites with sewer hookup! There are only 10 sites available to Coast to Coast members. A dump station is available nearly 1/2 mile from the sites. This is a very beautiful place. Beautiful lodge. Horse stables with trail riding available. The Appalachian Trail is within 15 minutes driving time. Dahlonega GA is within minutes driving time. While we were here, all non-Coast to Coast member sites were occupied by vacant RV's. It appears that most of the sites are privately owned. 5 of the 10 Coast to Coast sites were also occupied by vacant RV's. Nearly 20 additional sites were being constructed while we were here. There is no cell phone service nor TV antenna service in this area. This a very satellite friendly park. If traveling to this resort, call for instructions on avoiding the extremely sharp turns in the resort's main entrance. Use Yahoola Road intead. For a short stay, we would return to this resort! We camped at R Ranch in the Mountains in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: March, 2006 - $8.00
We used the Coast-to-Coast rate. Most of the sites are owned by members who have their equipment on the site. This is truly a classy place. The lodge is beautiful. There is a horse stable, tennis, mini-golf, playground and chapel. Local TV and cell phones do not work in this remote area. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. The mountain views are gorgeous. There is 24 hour security. All roads and sites are paved. We camped at R Ranch in the Mountains in a Fifth Wheel.

This case, in which Paterson, New Jersey, prepares for a future use for the site of ruinous—yet historically significant—industrial structures and archeological features, is a powerful example of preservation as a key factor in economic investment.
The area's urban history, complemented by the natural beauty of the Great Falls that powered the city's industries, has inspired hopes that the area can be preserved and interpreted as a tribute to Alexander Hamilton's ideals of economic self-sufficiency.
Established in 1792 by Alexander Hamilton to ensure the new Nations continued independence from Europe, the countrys first planned industrial community, now known as the Great Falls/Society for Useful Manufactures Historic District in Paterson, New Jersey, flourished as a model for Hamiltons theory that successful industry would be essential to preserving the young republics economic independence.

The National Historic Landmark district still includes evidence of the manufacturing districts original layout, which was based on a design by Pierre Charles LEnfant. Much of the districts original fabric from as early as the 1830s still survives, reflecting the development of the citys firearms, locomotive, and textile manufacturing industries.
Remnants of the Colt Mill in the Great Falls/Society for Useful Manufactures Historic District, Paterson, NJ (photographer: Barbara Small; courtesy of Paterson Friends of the Great Falls)
Patersons industries were powered by the 77-foot Great Falls of the Passaica National Natural Landmark that features the highest vertical drop on the East Coast and a vast and intricate system of water raceways that harnessed the power of the falls. The archeological remains of these raceways remain largely unstudied and are not yet interpreted for the appreciation of visitors to this key landmark of the American Industrial Revolution.
In 1992, Congress authorized an Urban History Initiative line item appropriation of $4.147 million for the historic district to be administered by the National Park Service and the City of Paterson through a cooperative agreement. The grants purpose was to preserve the historic district and to further viable economic uses for its resources.
The work funded by the grant will include site work relating to archeology, stabilization of ruins, and mitigation of hazardous materials on a seven-acre, city-owned site that once housed Allied Textile Printing, as well as the Colt, Waverly, and Passaic Mills.
Although the city considered a proposal for redevelopment of the site, some preservation groups involved in reviewing the proposed project under the Section 106 consultation process maintained that new development would limit preservation options.
A decision by the city to defer such plans enabled the National Park Service and the city to resolve the remaining issues in the consultation process and move forward with the site work pursuant to the terms of a programmatic agreement.
Congress has recently authorized the National Park Service to evaluate the Great Falls/Society for Useful Manufactures Historic District for possible inclusion in the National Park System. Such a study, as well as State and local planning initiatives, will allow the community to participate in determining the future of this important landmark.

Is it normal for steam to be released from the round knob on top marked 'pressure?' My 4-quart Farberware is silent but my 8-quart releases steam at all times. I am trying to determine if there is something wrong with it. It seems to cook fine and I am leaning towards keeping it. Thanks again, Dee

Sunflower Development Group could start downtown apartment work by spring
Two of the three downtown apartment buildings a Kansas City company is looking to convert into affordable housing. WICHITA — Kansas City-based Sunflower Development Group still has plans to renovate historic apartments from the early 1900s across from WaterWalk, but the project probably won't start until early spring.
"We're going to close first quarter next year," says Jason Swords. "It's a deal that's moving forward."
His group is buying properties at 507 and 509 S. Market and 514 S. Main to redevelop them as affordable housing. The almost $6 million development will be a mix of studio apartments and one-bedroom units.
"The issue that we've had is tax credits have been harder to broker on the federal side than they used to be, and we expect that to ease up after the first of the year," Swords says.
He says 90 percent of Sunflower's work is with historic rehabilitation.
Swords is interested in Wichita for a number of reasons, including that his wife is from here.
"I've been to Wichita ... a number of times," he says. "It's a quick run from Kansas City."
Swords also likes the older buildings here.
"There's a great building stock that needs to be redeveloped."
About Carrie Rengers
Carrie Rengers joined The Eagle's Business team in 2002 despite her inability to even balance a checkbook. Fortunately for her, and readers, her Have You Heard? blog is about business scoops and contains lots of news but almost no math.
A Michigan native, Carrie's father was quite tragically transferred to Little Rock, Ark., in the middle of her sophomore year of high school. To make matters worse, her parents put her in a girls school. She recovered, though, and went on to enjoy being an English major at Hendrix College (the Harvard of the Ozarks, don't you know). She worked for the weekly Arkansas Business and the statewide daily Arkansas Democrat-Gazette before moving to Wichita to be with her favorite writer and cook, husband Joe Stumpe.

The 15 Best Conservative News Sites On The Internet
Even though Right Wing News is an opinion site these days, I do still surf the web for news and to find material to write about. Some websites I read for columnists, others I peruse to see what particular bloggers have to say, but when I'm looking for news, here are the websites I check out in order.
15) Twitchy: Michelle Malkin's new Twitter based news site.
14) Doug Ross: Larwyn's Linx is great.
13) Weasel Zippers: Not as much volume as other places, but quality work.
12) Free Republic: Better known for commenting than news, but still good.
11) Bad Blue: Outstanding Twitter based news
10) The Right Scoop: Videos, links, and heavily updated.
9) Daily Caller: The place to go for original conservative reporting.
8) Lucianne: Old reliable. When I have trouble finding something good, I go here.
7) Gateway Pundit: It's unbelievable to me that any one person can be this on top of things.
6) Breitbart: The combined Breitbart collective is AMAZING for links and journalism.
5) Instapundit: Glenn Reynolds has been the best known linker in the blogosphere for more than a decade.
4) The Blaze: Beck's news machine is already a must read.
3) Memorandum: What people are talking about right now on both sides of the blogosphere. (Not conservative per se, but still good)
2) Hot Air: Frequently updated headlines, plus the latest news stories.
1) The Drudge Report: Whatever Drudge links becomes what everyone is talking about.
PS: If you're looking for great news websites, I'd also recommend my other blog, Linkiest.

KT90 Simple SE
I am thinking about a Simple SE build using KT90 output tubes. I am not terribly knowledgeable about tubes, so I want to make sure I am not missing something... My proposed parts list and construction plan is below.
*** Tubes: - EH KT90 - some brand of 12AT7.... Any suggestions? Tubes by JJ, JAN-Philips, EH, and Mullard all look affordable. *** Power - Antek AS-4T360 transformer (can be wired 360-0-360 at 550mA, which is way overkill, but I do want headroom) - Hammond 193M choke (10H, 300mA) - Welborne Labs PS10 high-voltage regulated power supply (target is about 450V), solid state rectified - DC (possibly regulated) heater supply *** Output - Hammond 1628SEA I think I feel comfortable sourcing the other parts on my own. My thought is to bias the KT90's at about 100mA each. The regulator and DC heaters are intended to keep hum and noise to a minimum. My hope is that this amp will not only be a good introduction to tubes, but that it will also outperform my high-end Class A solid state power amp (hence the overkill power supply and high bias). Does this look like a reasonable list? I guess I am looking at about 15W ultralinear and maybe 8W triode, right? Thank you for any suggestions. |

Why do you want a regulator on the B+ when you will have a big choke?
Tube or SS rectification? If you want a killer sound, you should get a killer output transformer - My favorites are Electra-print. They are huge!! I've been using them for 10 years or so, never a problem and great service. You get what you pay for.

I can/do run my Simple SE with EH KT90s at 100mA. I have no problems with hum on my 98dB speakers. I have a 220uF C2 plus a 80uF motor run cap in parallel with it. I'm using the cheap Allied 6H choke. Spend your money on output transformers instead of regulators. There you will hear a difference. Go for the big, honkin Edcors at least. One Electron or Electraprint, if you want to splurge.
EH 12AT7 is fine. I've had all of my JJs getting weak after a few 100 hours. I won't be buying any more. NOS JAN is good too and will probably outlive anything else. Those military Mullards are excellent too...grab them now if you can afford it. |

Sporting EH KT90s in triode. They do sound nice with my speakers and can rock in UL if needed.

I use laboratory quality bench supplies to design and develop my amplifiers. The sound is excellent. The Simple SE with a choke and the suplemental motor run cap is 95% of the way to a fully regulated supply.
Too much power is almost enough! Turn it up till it explodes - then back up just a little. |

I like KT90... though I don't have enough current capacity to run them to their full potential. I think you do need to run them at a fairly high current to get them to sound their best.

Customer Reviews Back to Top
Comments: Buyer beware! I just received my backordered (from 09/01/2012) River 2 Sea Tungsten Skinny Sinkers in 1/4 ounce size, and discovered River 2 Sea has decreased the number of weights from the advertised 4 weights per pack to 3 weights per pack. That's effectively a 33% price increase on a sinker that was already quite expensive. Tackle Warehouse advertises the 1/4 oz. weights as being in a 4-pack, I have purchsed them in 4-packs in the past, and my receipt for product received today (12/19/2012) describes the product as "River Tung Skinny Drop Weight 1/4 4pk," but they are now only 3-packs. These are still some of the best weights available, but with sales tax, the cost is now $2.51 for a single 1/4 oz. drop shot weight!?! I'll use the Vike or TD Tungsten from here on out.
From: Steven: Orcutt, CA
Comments: Great but for a 3/8 oz im not payin 7 bucks they work good but wayyyyyy 2 pricey

Wow, it has been a long time scince I last submited a flash movie here! :)
This work was a major project for me, and it was trully hard to produce, but I enjoyed every second of this aswell. I pushed the animation quality to the max ( at least the best I could) in comparison with my old works, and I guess the result is pretty good ( you tell me guys! :) ). This final episode was supposed to be released by december of the last year, but university and work delayed me as hell. Now that I found some free time I finally was able to finish it! :)
The story speaks by itself, I dont think it needs aditional explanation. I thought the hole movie 75% action & 25% feelings, wich was a verry important part, if not the whole thing would have been pure massacre :P
I also leave you the link to the song I used, wich is from (Xenogenocide), "wake p to Reality":
http://www.newgrounds.com /audio/listen/318499
Awesome song! :)
So thats it,
Thanks for watching & hope you enjoy this movie as much as i enjoyed making it!
Edit: wow, daily 3rd place, frontpaged, and top 15 week ending!
Thats much more than I expected! :) Thank you all for your reviews and feedback I really appreciate them!.
I will try to clear out some things about this animation.
Facts: I made almost 300 frames for FBF movments and efects ( wind, run, jumps, sword fights), and many other action sequences between those.
You mays say it was short, and some scenes had some timing issues, and you will be correct. The facts are that I just put so much work on the animation itself, that I lost a little bit the "direction" of the movie in many aspects (timing, angles...etc.). Second when you are making the 300 frame you feel so exahusted and frustrated because its taking so much time....It took me whole 3 months to think, animate, and edit the hole thing, and by then I just wanted to publish and finish this work, wich I wasnt sure if it will succeed. So dont be so drastic with the final result of the movie,... Im not profesional...this would be my second "decent movie" after all....
Hope this clear out some of your questions.
Anyway, thank you all for watching again :)
Rated 4 / 5 stars
not the best,but good
i agree with Helios Nova,the part where he's surrounded by all the villains,and all he there was only a explosion.Where he was fighting the boss,there was only one attack which was repeated,it would be nicer if they would run at each other,and take different angle slices at one another.Over all i thought it was good.The animation wasn't the best,but i can live with it.I would have loved to see the boss winning,then the brother having a flash back,then the brother draws up enough rage that he ends up killing the boss.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Petty Good
I thought the animation was pretty interesting. It had almost a comic book style to it. I'm not sure what the last poster meant by the running and fight scene being too long, the whole animation is about a fight, isn't that the point? There were obviously a lot of guys in the beginning. If you had cut down the time someone would have probably complained it was too short, lose-lose situation I guess. As far as being pissed off, last time I checked everyone doesn't have to turn into the hulk to be mad at something, but I digress. Overall petty good, the only thing I didn't like about this animation was the single hand swinging of the sword. Other than that good job and hope to see more.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Hm, yeah.
Well, even though the animation needs some work, it wasn't bad. However, you had so many unnecessary movements. Like when he ran towards the enemy. Can't point out where, however, but he runs forever. Which reminds me of monty pythons holy grail, where he attempts to run towards to the castle and he runs and runs, but takes forever to get there.
The attack scences is too drawn out. You don't need to see him move his sword through the body of the other in slow motion. Just show the sword on one side, then a blood effect off the enemy, then after that, a quick switch to the next attack sequence. Like he is mad with rage.
He doesn't look mad right now, he looks.. hell? neo-ish? I must kill you for great justice! Huzzah.
Doesn't work. Also, the fact that you made the story optional instead of blending it with the movie to give it more depth.. it was a bad move, which makes me lower your score even further. A retelling of the previous episode from the view of the brother could've helped.
Also, you could've spent more time to portray the anger of the brother as white eyes and dark colors doesn't make him look angry, not if that is all that you do. You could've made him breathe heavily, shown him grit his teeth.. clutch his fist.. then go berserk. Slizing up everything, making the blood fly around him and finally zoom out, showing a field filled with corpses with him standing in the middle breathing heavily.
I think that would've added to the effect of him being seriously pissed off.
Still, i may not have liked this one, but doesn't mean that i might not like your next one. Good luck with your future animations.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Ok, I can see it
Although the animation was good, I think the reason you got such a "low" score for such a piece of work was the fact that there was so much potential that hadn't been used. For example, at the point where the brother gets surrounded by the villian's cronies, he sets off an explosive power which sends them all flying. Done with them, move to the boss. See, here's a point in which I'm thinking that there could have been a lot of attack variations.
1. Attack them all in midair, multiple slices. Short, but somewhat interesting
2. No explosive power, just rush at them and mass slaughter, however, considering your style, I'd expect it to show them rushing at him one at a time while he kills one than the other
3. Explosive power doesn't send them flying, but 'boosts' him up. He then goes off and pulls a series of creative moves on one or two of them at a time. Don't be afraid to go anime style at this point.
Then there's the boss. It was realistically done, in the point where it's a quick battle. However, I think we lost the realism factor a while ago. Here, you could put in a bit more of a fight, show the brother's pain and boost it up to 30% feeling, 75% action (I did that on purpose for those math people out there). Maybe a bit of yelling at him or a few tears, could be creative with that. Make the battle a little more drawn out. You had the block, 4 copy and pasted punches, and the final blow. Maybe a few jumps, speed attacks, have the boss use a hidden power maybe. A bit more imposibilities to bring out the power that they both have. Those are my suggestions, if you're not sure what I mean, check out the latest "Gun and Sword" animation. Might be "Gun & Sword". It has examples of what I meant, not to mention it's pretty cool.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Meh.. good
Great, but you really need to change up this pattern of slo-mo "attack preparation" and when he finally gets there.. A freeze frame of the action?? No no no no. I'm sorry, but some of the other action (when it gets to that point) can barely be excused due to the fact that he swings his sword and.... WHAT? We get an anime cliche single-slash-through-the-body a couple times, then back to the freeze framing (which seems to do the sae thing). The decapitations are also timed late with each swing. The enemies are black scribbles. I can understand this because.. you know, enemies are only there for a second right? Sorry, not really. I guess what I'm trying to get at is that a flash animation is not a manga. There needs to be movement, a little reality, and a LOT more variety in each frame.
Goodnight to all.

Things to do in London: Bring in the new year with fireworks at the London Eye
Published: Wednesday 18th of November 2009
The London Eye will be at the centre of a double celebration at the end of December as it marks its ten year anniversary with a fireworks display on New Year's Eve.
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: "London will bring in 2010 with a bang, a glittering explosion across the midnight sky. We want to show to the world that we are looking forward to the future with the optimism and energy that characterises our capital and makes it the most exciting city on earth."
London transport, including the tube, over ground trains, trams and busses, will be running all night and will be free of charge between 23:45 GMT and 4:30 GMT.
Last year an estimated 500,000 people braved the winter weather to see the London Eye's lighting and fireworks display.
Space in viewing areas along the River Thames will be limited so those visiting London are advised to get to there early to ensure a good view of the display.
Save no sightseeing in London with free entry to over 55 top London tourist attractions.

Rihanna's 'Rated R' Album Cover Debut
You've probably seen Rihanna's racy single cover, and now PopEater is proud to exclusively premiere the cover for her impending album, 'Rated R.' The grainy black-and-white cover shows the R&B queen draped in hand jewelry and covering one eye.
The album, which is set to be released on Monday, Nov. 23, is Rihanna's first album since 2007's 'Good Girl Gone Bad.'
It is also Rihanna's first album since she was assaulted by boyfriend Chris Brown in February.
The 'Rated R' cover was shot by famed photographer Ellen von Unwerth, who says that "Rihanna was looking to create something a bit new for the look of the album."
Von Unwerth goes on to say that Rihanna is "so beautiful, sweet and tough at the same time -- and a pleasure to shoot," adding that she's "fantastic to work with -- very giving, very creative, very involved in every aspect of the shoot, and ready to push the boundaries."
The first single off of 'Rated R' is a slowed-down track titled 'Russian Roulette,' a dark tune in which Rihanna sings: "And you can see my heart beating / You can see it through my chest / And I'm terrified but I'm not leaving / Know that I must must pass this test / So just pull the trigger." You can listen to the song on Rihanna's Web site, Rihannanow.com.

Rihanna's album cover is good. A little racy and controversial, but this describes what the album is going to sound like with her edgy R&B/pop sound. I still think her Good Girl Gone Bad album cover is the best, but this ranks a strong second. Looks very Grace Jones-ish with the hairstyle. Surprisingly edgy and she even gives Lady Gaga's own edgy and radical image some stiff competition!

Rihanna must be coached by her new boyfriend Justin Timberlake. Justin might look like a little skinny punk but ALL hes about is selling "sex". He knows how many hard up people out there cant stop watching those (bogus) "steamy" videos or watching those "racy" pics. Who cares about the song as long as theres lots of flesh? Flesh is what sells records not some little dumb melody. And even Justin's lyrics are all about "sex"..Im bringing sexxy bacck..whip me Ill be your slave.....from Madonna to Timberlake to whomever..if you want to be REALLY big in the biz its all about the "sex". Rihanna is trying. Look for the "steamy" video which will basically be 10000 titillating shots of various pieces of flesh all edited together so it appears the singer is engaged in sex right there on the screen. And all the hard up sheep out there will love it ! If youre just mediocre then sell your flesh to the suckers!

Rihanna is pretty but must not believe that she is because she feels that she has to wear see through dresses and racy looking clothes in order to draw attention to herself. People who are always trying to appeal to the public by what they wear must feel that if they didnt wear the racy looking clothes they wouldnt be able to sell themselves to the public. But always remember Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder. As far as her body is concern. Its really not that sexy. Not like Jennifer Lopez or Maria Carey.

AT&T Outpaces Verizon in iPhone Sales
Verizon's quarterly results, released on Friday just after AT&T's, give us yet another look at how the iPhone is doing across both networks. They seem to continue to show that Verizon iPhone 4 sales are lagging despite the considerable amount of hype surrounding its launch.
In the second quarter, Verizon activated 2.3 million iPhones, far fewer than the 3.6 million that AT&T activated during the same period. To be fair, AT&T is selling two models right now: The current iPhone 4 as well as the 3GS, which is now available for $49.
A Somewhat Unfair Comparison
I've heard quite a bit of anecdotal evidence that despite its age, the 3GS continues to sell quite well--probably because of its price. It's somewhat unfortunate that we don't have a breakdown here by model: it give us a clearer picture of just how Verizon is doing.
For this fact, I'd caution anyone from jumping to conclusions just yet on the performance of Apple's iconic smartphone on Verizon. We should expect AT&T to outperform its competition just because of its sales advantage. Depending on how Apple decides to handle the release of the next iPhone in September, that may continue.
There have been quite a bit of rumors floating around that the 3GS could live on as a prepay device in developing markets as Apple looks to continue to expand its reach. If the 3GS indeed does escape the axe, I couldn't see why AT&T couldn't potentially offer three iPhone models.
How AT&T Could Boost iPhone Sales
Think of it this way. The iPhone 5 (or 4S, or whatever its going to be called) will be the top-of-the-line phone, for those that need the latest and greatest. The iPhone 4 would take the 3GS' current spot as the device for those looking for an iPhone, yet can't afford the $200 that the new model would cost.
AT&T could offer the 3GS through its own prepay channels, as well as a free device for those really tight on the pocketbook. Of course, this all depends on whether or not its true that Apple still sees life in the now two-year old device. That, according to some bloggers, may be questionable.

Hizballah Fundraising and Operations in the US and Latin America
IPT News
December 27, 2011
A series of recent law enforcement actions indicates the depth of Iranian-tied criminal activity in Mexico may be greater than previously known.
In October, a Texas-car salesman was arrested in connection with an Iranian plot to kill Saudi Arabia's ambassador to Washington. Prosecutors say officials in Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps believed they were dealing with a "large and sophisticated" Mexican drug cartel to carry out the hit. A $100,000 down payment on the hit shows the Iranians were comfortable dealing with the cartel representative, who in fact was a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) informant.
Earlier this month, prosecutors in Virginia unsealed an indictment charging a Lebanese man, Ayman Joumaa, with smuggling more than 100 tons of Colombian cocaine with the Los Zetas Mexican drug cartel. Hizballah, an Iranian proxy in Lebanon, "derived financial support from the criminal activities of Joumaa's network," the U.S. Treasury Department claimed earlier this year.
Hizballah has a long history of violent attacks against U.S. and Israeli targets. In 1983 the Lebanon-based group was accused of bombing the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut that killed 240 soldiers. Hizballah, along with its patron Iran, have been hconsidered responsible for the attacks on the Israeli Embassy in Argentina in 1992 and a Jewish cultural center in Buenos Aires in 1994. Hizballah also has extensive contacts in Latin America and within the United States.
In the plot against the Saudi ambassador, suspect Manssor Arbabsiar allegedly told law enforcement agents following his arrest that "he was recruited, funded and directed by men he understood to be senior officials in Iran's Qods Force." While the complaint does not name the Zetas, it describes the cartel the Iranians thought that they were dealing with as having "engaged in numerous acts of violence, including assassinations and murders."
The law enforcement actions come amid a recent report citing Israeli intelligence saying Hizballah's funding from traditional state sponsors such as Iran and Syria has declined sharply. That financial crunch may be leading the Shiite group to build alliances with Mexican drug syndicates and increasingly fund its terrorist operations through profits from the lucrative South American cocaine trade.
If true, the U.S. law enforcement actions may further erode Hizballah's finances.
A Treasury designation, a criminal indictment and a civil lawsuit allege the Lebanese drug dealer Ayman Joumaa is part of a complex cocaine and automobile smuggling enterprise in the United States and West Africa that handles hundreds of millions of dollars each month. Some of those profits were routed to Hizballah through the Lebanese Canadian Bank (LCB).
More than $300 million was wired into the United States through Lebanese financial institutions, according to the civil suit. The money laundering scheme allegedly involves at least 30 car dealerships throughout the country. As part of the investigation, federal agents raided a dealership in Tulsa.
"They're making big time money and it's going right into weapons acquisition, terrorist training, recruiting, corruption," DEA official Rusty Payne told Fox News. "Things needed to carry out terrorist attacks around the world. Some of the money is flowing back to the United States, back to these used car companies, to purchase more used cars to ship them to West Africa to sell those at a profit and then mix those used car proceeds in with the drug dollars."
The growing nexus between Hizballah and Mexican drug cartels allows the Iran-backed extremist group to make use of drug cartel transit routes to gain entry into the United States through its porous border with Mexico. Hizballah, in turn, offers Mexican syndicates expertise on smuggling and explosives as well as access to its drug trafficking networks in the Middle East and South Asia.
Iran-backed Hizballah and Mexican drug syndicates share "the same criminal weapons smugglers, document traffickers and transportation experts," former DEA operations chief Michael Braun told the Washington Times. "They rely on the same shadow facilitators. One way or another they're all connected."
Braun also alleged that members of Iran's Quds Force are "commanding and controlling" Hizballah's criminal operations in Latin America.
Cases Show Operatives Smuggled In
A leaked September 2010 Tucson Police Department internal memo talks of growing ties between Hizballah operatives and Mexican drug traffickers. It notes an increasing use of improvised explosive devices and car bombs by Mexican DTO's that suggest a growing collusion with the Hizballah militant groups which specialize in such explosive devices.
Border authorities have also discovered a number of "narcotunnels" along the U.S.-Mexican border that are used by cartels to get narcotics into the U.S. from Mexico. "There is growing concern that Hezbollah is providing technology for the increasingly sophisticated narco tunnels now being found along the U.S.-Mexican border, which strongly resemble the types used by Hezbollah in Lebanon." noted national security consultant Douglas Farah during October 2011 testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
In a June 2010 letter to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., called for "more intelligence gathering" on rising Hizballah criminal activity in Mexico. "Across states in the Southwest, well trained officials are beginning to notice the tattoos of gang members in prisons are being written in Farsi. We have typically seen tattoos in Arabic, but Farsi implies a Persian influence that can likely be traced back to Iran and its proxy army, Hezbollah."
A series of cases in the past decade offers examples of Hizballah activity in Mexico:
In 2006, Salim Boughader-Mucharrafille was sentenced to 14 years in prison by a Mexican judge on charges related to operating a smuggling ring and organized crime. Boughader-Mucharrafille was a Mexican of Lebanese descent and owned a café in Tijuana. According to the 9/11 Commission Staff Report on Terrorist Travel, he smuggled at least 200 "Lebanese nationals sympathetic to Hamas and Hezbollah into the United States" from Mexico. One of the individuals Boughader-Mucharrafille smuggled into the U.S. worked for Hizballah's television channel, al Manar.
Trained Hizballah fighter Mahmoud Youssef Kourani entered the U.S. through the Mexican border in early 2001. According to court documents, "Kourani surreptitiously entered the United States by sneaking across the U.S.-Mexico border in the trunk of a car." Kourani bribed an official at the Mexican consulate in Beirut, Lebanon, to grant him a Mexican visa. In 2005, Kourani pleaded guilty to providing material support to Hizballah and was sentenced to 54 months in prison.
In July 2010, Hizballah leader Jameel Nasr was arrested in Tijuana, Mexico. Nasr was reported to have been charged with establishing a Hizballah network in South America consisting of Mexican nationals with ties to Lebanon to attack Israeli and Western targets. Nasr traveled regularly to Lebanon to receive instructions from the Hizballah leadership based there. Nasr was living in Tijuana during the time of his arrest.
Jamal Yousef, a former member of the Syrian military and Hizballah agent, was arrested in April 2009 in New York. Yousef ran a weapons smuggling operation involving American assault rifles, hand grenades, explosives, and anti-tank munitions. The arms were stolen from U.S. forces stationed in Iraq and sent to Mexico where they were stored for future sale to the Colombian terrorist group, FARC, in exchange for drugs that would be brought into the U.S. through Mexican cartels.
Iran and Hizballah militants are making common cause with Mexican narco-traffickers as part of their broader, more global, asymmetric warfare against the United States. The threat is particularly menacing given Hizballah and Iran's active presence and extensive network in the broader Latin American region and state support from governments in Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Nicaragua.
In testimony before a House Homeland Security subcommittee, former U.S. ambassador to the Organization of American States, Roger F. Noriega, highlighted the danger posed to U.S. homeland security from growing Hizballah presence in Latin America, including Mexico:
"The more broad implication for U.S. homeland security is that Hezbollah—via Iran and Venezuela—has engaged the United States in an offensive strategy of asymmetric warfare on our doorstep. It is aiming to win the mental battle of attrition and the moral battle of legitimacy—particularly with the youth in Latin America. Unless our government recognizes and responds to their efforts, our ability to protect our interests and our homeland will be gradually and dangerously diminished."

Frightening Statistics

I heard Mr. Emerson this morning on 970am radio here in New York. He makes a most convincing case against the infiltration of radical Islam into this country as well as the dangerous threat that Iran poses. I can only hope and pray that our next President (not Obama) will stem the tide of illegal immigration as well as legal immigration into this country. He stated that not only is this administration aware of, but they are complicit with the dealings of the Muslim Brotherhood. An organization that aligned itself with Hitler during WWII. Does it get any more frightening than that?
smuggling Iranians

Estimate the number of Iranian and other jihadist group members into the USA from our southern boarder. Add their luggage such as biochemical,biological,and nuclear equipment. Also add the number of jihadists coming in through educational visas to study these areas at our universities and laboratories. Then add the special business visas and the regular visas. The sum of all this is an army already in place in America,with access to maps,airplanes,vehicles,reconniassance,weapons of mass destruction / small arms, and the knowledge of where to easily obtain the ingrediants for poison gases ,explosives,the release of radioisotopes, and ways to serious damage our electrical grid. If you are not a tad paranoid,you are not paying attention.
