In vivo monitoring of nanoparticle delivery is essential to better understand cellular and molecular interactions of nanoparticles with tissue and to better plan nanoparticle-mediated therapies. We developed a three-dimensional ultrasound and photoacoustic (PA) imaging system and a spectroscopic PA imaging algorithm to identify and quantify the presence of nanoparticles and other tissue constituents. Using the developed system and approach, three-dimensional in vivo imaging of a mouse with tumor was performed before and after intravenous injection of gold nanorods. The developed spectroscopic PA imaging algorithm estimated distribution of nanoparticle as well as oxygen saturation of blood. Moreover, silver staining of excised tumor tissue confirmed nanoparticle deposition, and showed good correlation with spectroscopic PA images. The results of our study suggest that three-dimensional ultrasound-guided spectroscopic PA imaging can monitor nanoparticle delivery in vivo.

Edge on Demand: Racist Dress Codes?It's no secret that bars and clubs have their own rules and regulations. And they often include dress codes. But the conversation is getting heated in Minneapolis after an uptown bar posted its new dress code. Locals say rules banning flat-billed hats and athletic apparel discriminate against African Americans. One man told a local news station it's flat out segregation. The bar says it's just following corporate rules. So is this a real issue, or are people in Minneapolis a little too sensitive? Plus:

The game is more fun as multi-player. Other than that it's basically the same as the other 15 bomerman games
Love B64's MP mode too, with the ghost thing, priceless.
This was a decent game for a near-the-end-of-NES game. Entertaining RPG. Won't DL it, already used to own the cart and beat it. (with game genie of course, of which VC needs to incorporate)
I had this for Game Gear back in the day, perhaps release real master system games eh? Are there any that aren't GG?
Epic game, they should somehow do the hookup with Sonic 2 and 3, without costing extra points of course

Title: | The Decision-Making Process Of Primary Care Doctors In Undertaking Health Check-Ups For Male Patients In Malaysia |
Authors: | Tong, Seng Fah |
Keywords: | men's health primary care family practice practice behaviour decision making screening health checks |
Issue Date: | 17-Oct-2012 |
Publisher: | University of Sydney. |
Abstract: | Background: Many major causes of disease burden and health risk factors in men are lifestyle-related and amenable to early interventions. Male-specific morbidities such as sexual dysfunction are common but often under-reported by male patients during consultations. These health risk factors and male morbidities are prevalent in primary care settings, but they are rarely discussed. Yet, primary care doctors (PCDs) are well positioned to offer health check-ups during consultations. Therefore, there should be an effort to develop or improve the uptake of men's health check-ups in primary care settings. An understanding of how PCDs negotiate this is crucial to this process as health care provider factors are implicated as one of the reasons for men's poor engagement with preventive health care. Objectives: The objective of this study was to explore the determinants and process of decision making by PCDs in undertaking health check-ups for male patients in Malaysia. This study also aimed to quantify the average impact of each determinant and rank its significance on the doctors' decision-making processes in men's health check-ups. Methodology and methods: A mixed-method approach was adopted in this study. Phase I, an exploratory phase of the study, has utilised grounded theory methods to construct a theoretical framework in explaining the determinants and the decision-making process for initiating check-ups in men. This framework informed the conceptualisation of phase II, which has utilised a quantitative approach to identify the significant determinants from a representative sample of PCDs. In this phase, a cross-sectional survey with multiple regression analyses was undertaken to examine and quantify the relationship between the determinants and outcome variables – the doctors' intention to undertake health check-ups for male patients. Fifteen regression models were constructed based on five topics concerning men's health and three contexts (acute minor complaint, follow-up and health check-up visits) for each of the topics. Results: Fifty-two PCDs from the private and public settings were interviewed in phase I and 198 doctors (a response rate of 70.4%) completed the questionnaire in phase II. The concept of men's health was new to many PCDs, and yet many PCDs were already managing many illness concerns related to men. The concept was best depicted as an unresolved jigsaw puzzle, in which an understanding of the concept was fragmented. PCDs balanced the weight of perceived male patients' receptivity versus medical importance before engaging male patients in health check-ups. If the patients were perceived to be receptive to health check-ups, PCDs would engage them. However, if PCDs felt a particular men's health issue to be important, they placed less emphasis on their perceived patients' receptivity to discuss that health issue in their decision making. However, the perception of receptivity relied mainly on assumptive and subjective assessments of the taboos surrounding the topics of men's health and men's help-seeking behaviour. From the overall results of regression analyses, the perception of receptivity was noted to be the most frequent significant determinant in the decision-making process among the 15 models, and it often has the highest regression coefficient in the models. The attitude towards the medical importance of men's health check-ups ranked second in the list of frequent significant determinants. Other important determinants included perceived external barriers and personal competency in offering men's health check-ups. However, these played a lesser role in the doctors' decision making to engage male patients in undertaking health check-up. Conclusions: The concept of men's health is relatively new among Malaysian PCDs. The doctors' decision making to engage male patients in health check-ups is a complex process. It is influenced by both their personal experience and societal perceptions about men's help-seeking behaviour, and in particular their perception of male patients' receptivity to health check-ups, which can be unfounded. This potentially creates miscommunication between PCDs and male patients in the clinics. Therefore, in addition to addressing knowledge deficiency and external barriers to men's health check-ups, efforts should also be made to bridge this communication gap. |

Staff Reporter
They were halted for implementation of VAT regime in January last year
MADURAI: Enforcement activities of the Commercial Taxes Department, which remained suspended, would commence soon. Orders to this effect had already been issued, Commercial Taxes Minister, S.N.M. Ubayadullah, said here on Thursday.
The activities were halted for the last one-and-a-half years on account of implementation of value added tax (VAT) regime since January 2007, he said.
The Minister was in the city to inaugurate an eye screening camp conducted for Commercial Taxes Department staff by Vasan Eye Care Hospital. Around 500 employees took part in the free camp.
While revenue through Commercial Taxes Department prior to implementation of VAT was Rs. 19,500 crore, it was expected by grow by another 20 per cent after the new tax regime came into effect.
However, initially, losses were expected and the Central Government had provided a grant to overcome these losses. A sum of Rs. 21,500 crore was generated along with the Central subsidy, he said.
On vacant posts in the department, he said that vacancies existed in all departments and that they would be filled up as soon as possible.
The Joint Commissioner of Madurai Division, A. Rajaraman, spoke.
Review meet
In the evening, the Minister took part in a review meeting along with Principal Secretary and Commissioner of Commercial Taxes Department, T. Jacob.

As mentioned in the previous article, there are some top notch Top Coin Grading companies. PCGS, NGS, ANACS, and a newer company ICG have managed to obtain and sustain reputations of dependability. They do have different but similar submitting criteria, services, and pricing. PCGS and NGS will not grade a "problem" coin, however both of these companies do have a little better reputation than ANACS and ICG both of which will grade "problem" coins and note the "problem" on the label. Each company has their limitations and it is important to check each one to make sure it will be able to service the coin to be certified. Refund and warranty policies also vary and all information should be read thoroughly.
ANACS (American Numismatic Association Certification Service) is the first grading company. It was created by the ANA (American Numismatic Association in 1972 when they recognized the need for a service to distinguish counterfeit and altered coins which was plaguing the market at the time. Their two experts were located in Washington DC giving them access to the Smithsonian, the Treasury Department, and specifically the Secret Service. By 1976 ANACS was well established and adding to its staff moved to Colorado. It began grading coins in 1979 using the ANA's new book of grading standards "The Official American Numismatic Association Grading Standards for United States Coins". They have been grading the obverse and reverse separately and creating photo certificates with both grades it was several years later before slabbing and labeling each coin began.
PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) began in 1986 and started implementing slabbing of all their certified graded coins. They do cover an extensive selection of US coin variations there are some they do not. Companies do charge for certifying a variation requested therefore you'll want to make sure they are verifying the submitted coin's variation. They will authenticate "problem" coins but they will not grade them. In order to obtain any of PCGS services the coin submitter must be a member. There are various membership levels with different benefits for different fees. This and other information can be found on their website.
NGS (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) began is 1987. Besides certifying US coins they also will certify a wide range of ancient and other World coins. Their website has most of the relevant information about their parameters of the coins they service. There are some US varieties they do not cover and it should be verified that the coin variation is covered. NGS will authenticate but does not grade "problem" coins. In order to obtain any of PCGS services the coin submitter must be a member. There are various membership levels with different benefits for different fees. This and other information can be found on their website.
ICG (Independent Coin Graders) is the most recent to the list of Top Coin Grading Companies but the two gentlemen who started ICG have extraordinary credentials and it is not surprising IGC has the excellent reputation it has gained. IGC's website gives an extensive list of reference books and they indicate they will verify any variety described in any of these books and stipulate that if the coin's variety is found in a different resource that they are opened to being contacted with the relevant information and will reply accordingly. They also certify World coins from 1600 to now (Japanese and China from 1870). They will grade "problem" coins and describe the "problem" on the coin's slab label.
Even these Top Coin Grading Companies are not perfect and have been shown to vary in opinion as to the grade of a coin. Inaccuracy and mistakes are a part of the human condition and even these expert graders are susceptible to making mistakes. Another problem is an increasing number of counterfeit slabs have been turning up including the 'tamper proof' slabs used by PCGS and NGS. Sometimes with the proper labeling for the coin inside, which sometimes are of a lower grade but more often are counterfeit, but the corresponding certification numbers are authentic and match the company's certification inventory. This seems to be rare however unmonitored website seller; like EBay are susceptible and it is best to use sellers that have sufficient full return policies that will allow for verification of purchases. Heritage Auctions house has on-line bidding and their own experts which oversee offered items and have decades of experience auctioning coins. Inevitably a better slab will come about. As always, coin collecting can be a risky venture, and the old adage still applies; "caveat emptor".

- Welcome! As "Annie in Austin" I blog about gardening in Austin, TX with occasional looks back at our former gardens in Illinois. My husband Philo & I also make videos - some use garden images as background for my original songs, some capture Austin events & sometimes we share videos of birds in our garden. Come talk about gardens, movies, music, genealogy and Austin at the Transplantable Rose and listen to my original songs on YouTube. For an overview read Three Gardens, Twenty Years.

Absolutely April
Three weeks can make a big difference in the garden! Since that last post the garden plant spreadsheet shows fewer plants with question marks next to their names.
The Barbados Cherries appear to be alive. They also appear to be about 6" tall now. But you don't want to see that photo and I don't want to take it. Averted eyes is the way to carry on while the boxwoods decide exactly where they'll regrow - don't want to take that photo either.
This photo of the ice-and-freeze damaged Oleander was taken at the beginning of April. It grows near the steps from the house to the drive so it was very hard to not only avert my eyes but to refrain from picking up the lopping shears.
Sometimes the best thing to do is nothing. Early last week tiny green leaves began to sprout along the oleander trunk and by Thursday it was clear which branches were doing well and where to make the cuts. I don't think there will be flowers this spring, but the Oleander should live and grow.
So let's ignore the battered shrubs and let them recover in private. As to the rest of the garden? Even though we're still in drought, something about the long cold rest seems to have benefited the roses - they're shouting that it is now Absolutely April.
'Julia Child' opens new flowers every morning, standing nearly 5-ft tall, with scores of buds still swelling, surrounded by self-sown poppies and larkspurs, by Four-nerve daisies and the last bluebonnets.
I've read that this rose was chosen by Julia Child herself to bear her name, because it looked like butter.
I still don't have a positive ID on the pink climber that came with the house, but 'Climbing Pink Peace' seems to be a possibility. My husband Philo built a wooden trellis over the gate and the rose has stretched out and up to cover it.
A few big blossoms joined white 'Climbing Iceberg' in a bowl.
This apricot mini-rose finally looks established - last spring it had two flowers.
The frozen Rosa mutabilis quickly outgrew the damage and is reblooming in its patio container.
The color of the clematis next to the back door is hard to describe - it goes through so many changes from bud to blown blossom.
The Oakleaf Hydrangea flaunts something between a bud and a flower.
Up in front most of the native plants in the parkway strip are waking up and thinking about buds, but only the Damianita is in full bloom.
The Texas Mountain Laurel flowers froze in March 2014, but the shrubs are already making buds for Spring 2015.
Fingers crossed these new plants of Damianita, purple skullcap, creeping phlox and Blackfoot daisies can take hold in a new bed up front.
Tomorrow's forecast promises temperatures in the nineties so the individual flowers don't last too long, but April has been absolutely lovely for a while.

Good to see much of your garden has recovered from this awful winter. Your roses are beautiful! I still have my fingers crossed for a few of my plants that they will eventually green up, but I think it's wishful thinking. Sigh, I guess that means I get to go plant shopping:)
ReplyDeleteIt seems our plants are tougher than we give them credit for. Sometimes a good knock -back is just like forcing us to do that we have difficulty doing. I noticed yesterday life on the seedling Philippine violet . The bark was split down to the ground but sure enough a little green sprout has appeared. Best not to be too hadty in plant removal. I am lusting after your clematis. I have only the native one and much as I love them I really would like to have one with bigger blooms. Happy spring to your garden.
ReplyDeleteRepliesIsn't it odd how some plants get split bark & die, but others split, then sends up new shoots? The Barbados cherries had practically exploded but they both have green leaves at the base.
This clematis came packaged-in-peat at Lowe's about 14-rs ago. I just took a chance and grew it in a deck pot for years. So I'm glad to have it, but really wonder what its name is!
Glad things are blooming up so well. Your roses are incredible and that clematis-wow! Enjoy your loveliness!
ReplyDeleteGlad you have so much coming back. My garden seems to be weeks behind those up in Austin. But, things are headed in the right direction.
Now, if we could only get some rain.I agree, this is a great year for roses and yours look super. Mine all look pretty darn good; tons of blooms and no black spot. Some of the plants I thought were goners are coming back, but I wonder if they will ever return to their former glory. Time will tell.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see that your garden is recovering with some nice spring weather. Things are much better here too. Does your yellow butter rose smell?
ReplyDeleteButter rose - love it! Your garden has rebounded nicely. I'm hoping the same for mine but still too early to tell.
ReplyDeleteI've taken a lot of photos this month so I decided to make a plant bloom list with a few more pictures for my Annie's Addendum blog If you like the botanical names, they're on that list.
Anniewow u have such a beautiful garden... i think ill come here regularly. spring is always my favourite season for gardens :) since I'm new in blogging world I invite you to come and visit me sometimes...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I like that you give your shrubs blog privacy while they recover. :)
That clematis and all the roses... such a pretty spring garden.I am glad your oleander survived. I have tried growing it in the past and have not been successful. Your garden looks great. That clematis is spectacular!
A comment from you is like chocolate - maybe I could live without it, but life is more fun with it. I'll try to answer. If someone else's comment piques your interest, please feel free to talk among yourselves.

Bottomfish Identification: Rockfish
Widow Rockfish Sebastes entomelas
Caught off the Washington coast by commercial harvesters using otter-trawls and longline gear. Occasionally caught by recreational harvesters off the Washington coast. Recreational harvest within Puget Sound has been closed. See the Sportfishing Regulation Pamphlet.
Description: The body of the widow rockfish is elongate and compressed with reduced head spines. The head is relatively short, with a lower jaw that projects slightly and a relatively small mouth. Underwater adults are various shade of brown to orange and get lighter ventrally. Some have dusky patches or saddles that are not apparent after capture. The fin membranes, particularly in the anal and pectoral fins, are black. The caudal peduncle is narrow and the anal fin has a strong posterior slant. Individuals smaller than 10 inches in length are lighter in color and are tinged with vague streaks of orange.
Maximum Size: To 59 cm (23.6 in) in length.
Maximum Age: At least 60 years old.
Range/Habitat: Widow rockfish range from the Middle Albatross Bank off Kodiak Island, Alaska, to Todos Santos Bay, Baja California. Adults have been captured at water depths between 24 and 549 m (80-1,812 ft), although they are most commonly found from 140 to 210 m (462-693 ft). This species can be found well above the bottom over boulders or other high-relief bottoms. Off the Washington and Oregon coasts fish disperse into small schools during the day, well above the bottom, then form dense schools near the bottom during the night.

Prince Humperdinck, at your service.
Me. I'm content with what I'm doing and confident in where I'm going. I'm extremely loyal to my friends and family, especially my grandfather and brothers. I'm curious about the world. I don't give up easily, especially when it's something I care about. Things I appreciate: Friends family, health, financial security, drinking, hiking, scotch and vodkas (which lead to the occasional cigarette), and doing well in law school. I always try to make people comfortable, I'm polite and engaging and I love to laugh (and will also make a joke out of anything). I ask a lot of questions; some really insightful, and some not so much. I'm a proud Angelino and have lived around Southern California. Trying new things is an essential part of my life, whether it be attempting a 20-page paper for class or Tough Mudder. You. You're patient, understanding, you like to laugh and you want to engage your counterpart. You like to play board-games and are comfortable with who you are, and being you. You are not afraid of commitment but you are definitely into keeping your own identity and friends when in a relationship. You take your work seriously but not yourself. You're not afraid of ordering a scotch or occasionally getting a little sweaty (from a good hike). You're curious about the world and you're cute. You like patient guys. You are kind and supportive. You appreciate sarcasm. You have a healthy libido. You are honest. You are a good communicator. You will try anything once. You don't mind cooking me dinner and letting me clean up.

It sounds like they found the game pretty fun. They talked about it not being too actiony and one of them was concerned that it wasn't turn-based. Apparently, the other guys were of the opinion that it doesn't take away from the game that it isn't and found it really plays like a role-playing game right from the start. Well, let's hope so.

Hello, I was turned on to this stuff by a member of Indiana Gun Owners Forums. He made a gift of some (thanks HFB!) when we went shooting.Fluid Film® | Corrosion Preventative, Lubricant and Rust Inhibitor I've been running it in all manner of firearms now, and it beats CLP or pretty much anything else all to heck, with just a very thin coating. Heck, I've pretty much stopped cleaning the gas system on the SKS because, after treatment, I could find no buildup and everything stayed lubed. I just put a squirt or two in the vent holes and no longer have to worry about cleaning the gun 'til it breaks. The 1911, .22, and a few others with slower moving bullets just get it sprayed down the barrel and run out with a bore snake. The only downside I've found is that, after cleaning the .22 with it, it penetrates so well that it takes about 50 rounds to shoot back in vs the usual 20 or so. That's sort of a non-issue though as I keep junk ammo around for that purpose and making noise with it is fun. That, and I don't clean the barrel until accuracy falls off. I highly recommend taking a look at this stuff. It's easy to find in farm country, and most John Deere dealerships carry it from what I've read, though with guns, one aerosol can looks to last a while. My Breakfree CLP is standing by, unused. Fluid Film is lanolin based and is less toxic than most other CLP products, as well. I just applied it to a gun, and no matter how many times I wash my hands, or with what, I can't get it to come off. My fingers will be slick until the lanolin absorbs. Awesome stuff. I suggest you check it out. Only runs $7 to $10 per 11.75 fl oz spray can - very competitive at that price. Josh

Thanks for the plug! If anyone is interested in trying out a can for free (must be a new user and live in the US), just PM me your contact info and I'll get a sample can right out.
Here is what never made sense to me. A cleaner made to break down oil and grime. A lube OIL. How does this work? I used CLP for 8 years (Well that is what I told my NCO's) I used automotive carbon cleaners and Hoppes #9. It was amazing My weapon never failed inspection. Not knocking your product. But when a product claims to be a do it all wonder lube cleaner ect.... They have never impressed me much. Jut saying YMMV....
Fluid Film is not a cleaner. It is a corrosion preventive, lubricant and penetrating oil all in one. PM me for a free sample and let's see if you are impressed. Won't know until you try it.
Dano, Received the samples sent. Weather permitting will distribute them to my shooting buddies at range tomorrow. By the way, read the Fluid Film can label. Noted it was lanolin and had no solvents. I've used the Lee Reloading brass lube for sometime now that is lanolin based. It prevents brass from sticking in reloading dies. Curious, I put a dash of Fluid Film on a piece of 308 brass and spread it with my fingers. Then resized it. Fluid Flim worked well as a case lube....resized 5 more pieces of 308 brass. Just a dash on a case, spread it with fingers...put it on a couple of cases with fluid flim on my fingers from other cases.....all resized just fine, no sticking and etc. in die. May I assume, since your product is solvent free, it contains no petroleum products that could contaminate/ruin the primers/powder in a cartridge? Case lube needs to be applied inside the neck of a piece of brass for rifle cartridge resizing, which can lead to contamination of gun powder or primers.
Dano, Thank you, I received the sample. I will post impressions as soon as I get a chance to use it.
Dano, Thanks for reply on having some highly refined petroleum based oils in Flim Fluid. Chuckle, makes me wonder if this oil comes from EXXON Plant in Baytown, Tx.....one of few places in U.S. that can make such oil....Marvel Mystery Oil, for example, uses it. But, having petroleum based products in it certainly eliminates Flim Fluid from use inside a piece of brass. However, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, don't think a problem using on outside case of brass. Anyway, this morning before reading your reply, had resized 60 pieces of brass.....some being 308 Win brass I resized to 7mm-08. Used the Flim Fluid as the case lube on outside of brass and used my normal lube for inside neck of brass. Again the Flim Fluid proved to be an excellent brass case lub. Normally I use the Imperial Case Resizing Lube product, which is generally regarded as one of best such products available for reloading. The Flim Fluid seemed to work as well as it. Also, the Fluid Flim seemed to have made removal of the blackened soot often found on neck of brass from powder blow back easier, when I did my normal routine of using Tee Shirt cotton cloth to wipe off case lub after resizing. Thanks again for samples sent me. I did give them to my range shooting buddies to try.
No problem. Thanks for the feedback!

'Shop smart' when buying a toothbrush
UPDATED 10:30 AM PDT Apr 02, 2014Consumer Reports looked at hundreds of toothbrushes and found little difference between regular and electric toothbrushes; it's all in the brushing.
Video TranscriptDO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A GOOD BROCHURE BUT STILL FIND YOURSELF GETTING CAVITIES? THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR TOOTHBRUSHING MAY HAVE MORE TO DO WITH THE TOOL YOU ARE USING TO CLEAN YOUR TEETH. FOR SOMETHING SO SIMPLE, THERE SURE ARE A LOT OF CHOICES. THERE ARE MORE THAN 400 DIFFERENT KINDS ON DRUGSTORE.COM. CONSUMER REPORTS IS HELPING YOU TO GET THE RIGHT ONE. BUYING A TOOTHBRUSH CAN BE DAUNTING. SO MANY CHOICES. FAT ONES, SKINNY ONES, ONE THAT SURROUNDS YOUR TEETH, AND THIS ONE THAT SITS ON THE COUNTER ALL BY ITSELF, AND THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSHES. ORAL-B IS EVEN PROMOTING A BLUETOOTH CONNECTED TOOTHBRUSH. YOU CAN RECEIVE REMINDERS ON YOUR PHONE. WHEN YOU BUY A TOOTHBRUSH, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ARE THE BASICS. YOU WANT SOFT BRISTLES. HARD BRISTLES CAN DAMAGE YOUR GUM AND TOOTH ENAMEL. AND ANGLED BRISTLES OR WITH DIFFERENT HEIGHTS CAN HELP TO GET RID OF PLAQUE. AS FOR THE QUESTION, ELECTRIC VERSUS MANUAL? THEY BOTH WORK EQUALLY WELL. YOU JUST HAVE TO USE THEM TWICE A DAY FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES EACH TIME. SO MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHICH WHEN YOU BUY IS TAKING THE TIME TO USE IT. REMEMBER TO REPLACE YOUR

I lnow there are other posts about this subjects, but I don't want to gain the Golden Shovel price for digging old questions. Guess it's forbidden. But the subject is still polemic, and is still critical. It's been long since nobody touches this, So... HOW ? After this time, has anyone found out HOW To leave the APP unkilled by the system when we press Home ???
Apps that need to stay running should (unless poorly coded or otherwise misbehaving). Those that don't need to stay active are cached into memory for instant retrieval. Android handles this automatically and efficiently for you. What's not staying active that you believe should?
It could be a theme or widget which runs as an app, like my ICS Status bar app which replaces the stock status bar in GB. Since its an app, if the phone is left idle and Locked for a time, the system closes it and I have to relaunch it. In my case at least, I'd like that one in particular to keep running. In a pinch, if you're rooted, download and install root explorer and uninstall your app and then download its apk file online and then use root explorer to move the apk manually to the /system/app folder (DON'T INSTALL IT) then reboot. The app will self-install as a service vs. a normal app and therefore usually remain active
Arghh ! It did not subscribe to this topic. Where do I find, in the user ControlPanel, the topics I've posted ? Anyway... I was writing this topic in my opera mobile, got to answer a call, and when I came back, it reloaded the page, and all I had written was gone. That's what I call a hell of a inneficient way of handling applicantions for me. And that's why I'm here. It's rooted. Will try that cool trick you've described here.
Thanx, jef A detail that saves time.. Well, installing as a service did not work. Opera mobile does not work at all in this mode. And I wonder what problems I might find if I try on other apps... That is not a solution Any other tip ? A big system hack or something ?

BEIT SHEMESH, IsraelRead the rest here.
The rock hit Nili Philipp on the side of her helmet as she biked last year along the main road in this Jerusalem suburb. A few years earlier, the spitting had begun, as Philipp jogged on a road bordering an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood. Men called her names: Shikseh, the derogatory term for a Gentile woman. Prutzah, whore.
But Philipp's story is not one of conflict between the defiantly secular Israeli majority and an increasingly assertive ultra-Orthodox minority. She is an observant, modern Orthodox Jew, dressed, on the day we speak, as she is for her runs — a kerchief covering her red hair, a skirt that falls modestly below the knee. It speaks volumes about intolerance among the ultra-Orthodox that Philipp has become enraged, even radicalized, by the behavior of her neighbors.
"Whenever people tell me, respect their society — their society doesn't respect me," Philipp says, voice quivering as she describes a recent incident in which a woman with an infant was pelted with stones while shopping here. "We all see ourselves as vulnerable, and we're all scared." The latest skirmish involves signs instructing women here to stay off certain sidewalks so as not to brush up against men.

The ultra-Orthodox tighten their grip in Israel

I'm disposed to be sympathetic to the Ultra-Orthodox, but they make it very difficult. On the positive side, I haven't heard much in the way of this kind of thing among Ultras outside Israel.
Boy, it certainly gives you an insight into how the Pharisees could have so hugely lost touch with the Faith communicated through the Law & Prophets. - 8/08/2012 9:54 PM

Sorry...posted the link wrong...
Ultra-Orthodox Judaism is only marginally more tolerant and accepting than radical Islam. Many of the ancient Jewish teachings are so overtly anti-Christian, anti-outsider, and triumphalistic, however I don't think most Christians (or moderate Jews) even know what Judaism teaches anymore.
For a good eye-opener, get your hands on this book, which although written in a somewhat anti-Catholic/pro-Evangelical bent, does have a solid take on what Judaism is today and what they really teach. It's rather disgusting.

"Judaism's Strange Gods (Revised 2nd Edition)" by Michael Hoffman is also a worthwhile read. It is a condensed version of his much longer "Judaism Discovered," which although out of print now, is available on Kindle and other E-reader devices. I can vouch that these works are not anti-Semitic, and take a rather matter-of-fact approach at teaching what Judaism is actually about. - 8/09/2012 6:10 AM
- Eurasleep said...
Thanks for the great tip, Jason. I just picked up a Kindle copy, since the $500+ (!!!) hardcopy version is a little pricey *ahem*. Looks like quite a scholarly and non-racist tome, which is good to hear.
- Jason said...
^ Yeah - that's a long way from the $45 cover price!

It took 18 years, but Martin Brodeur and the New Jersey Devils finally got it done.
The Devils saw a trip to the 1994 Stanley Cup Final vanish when they couldn't hold onto a 2-0 lead against the Rangers in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals at home. New Jersey blew another 2-0 lead Friday night -- again in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final -- but, this time, they got to overtime before Adam Henrique's goal at 1:03 gave the Devils a 3-2 win and their fifth trip to the Stanley Cup Final since 1995.
Game 6 in 1994 marked the sixth straight playoff start for a rookie goaltender named Martin Brodeur. Friday's game marked Brodeur's 188th consecutive postseason start -- no one else has started a playoff game for the Devils since the series with the Rangers began 18 years ago.
I don't know if it was more relief for me that [Stamkos] scored or the power play scored. It was a whole compilation of Alka Seltzer.

Maureen is very professional, trustworthy, knowledgeable and makes one feel at ease and well taken care of. She is persistant by keeping the ball rolling to get the job done. After working with Maureen, you will know "It's all about the client". She walked me through every step of the way. I would highly recommend Maureen to anyone!
I would highly recommend for anyone to use Maureen Ventura for legal advice, consulting, and representation. I worked with Maureen for legal consulting with a divorce case. Maureen was an amazing help to myself, as well as my case. I could have not gone through my divorce without her expertise and knowledge. She was very trustworthy, easy to communicate with, did not pass judgement upon myself and/or other parties involved. She was very detailed with her explanations and legal advice. She was extremely fast and through with communication, and gave me multiple situational expertise, and her knowledge was very in-depth on up to date legal documentations.
I had interviewed several lawyers before deciding on Maureen. Many of the other ones told me that I could file right away but she told me I had to wait 90 days or my claim could be thrown out. Thanks goodness she told me I didn't want to pay the fee again. She also kept me up to date on everything that was going on during the process. I have told all my friends that are considering bankruptcy to give her a call and just talk with her about their options.
Maureen was a pleasure to work with and very accommodating meeting my schedule. Her communication was outstanding with quick response times. I have worked with many corporate and personal attorneys in the past and her attention to detail and personal pride exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Maureen to business associates and friends.
Maureen is an excellent attorney that really went above and beyond what she needed to do to help me in my case. She was very caring and brought so much ease and calm to me during a very stressful time. I truly appreciate her organization, legal knowledge, and willingness to accommodate my schedule. I would return for future legal advice and highly recommend her.

Dr John Dingle
Palm kernel meal (PKM) and copra meal (CM) are derived from the nuts of palm trees and are available in large quantities in many tropical countries. These potential feedstuffs are not widely used either for animal production or other purposes. Due to their high fibre contents, imbalanced amino acids, Maillard products (due to heat damage during drying and oil extraction processes) and their susceptibility to mould attack, these by-products have been regarded as low quality feedstuffs. However, if their value could be improved so that their inclusion in animal feeds resulted in good production, there would be a large number of benefits. A total of ten experiments have been conducted to improve the quality of these ingredients in broiler diets. There are two main scenarios for improving their use as feedstuffs, namely, by addition of exogenous enzymes and nutrients which are deficient and by manipulation of the physical characteristics of the ingredients. This project investigated the physical characteristics (bulk density and water holding capacity) and feeding value of PKM and CM by feeding the pure PKM and CM plus additional vitamins and minerals in poultry diets. Improvement of the quality of PKM was mainly based on nutritional manipulation by considering the digestible amino acids of the diet and adding enzymes. To increase the feeding value of copra meal, physical treatments were proposed, along with using exogenous enzymes and formulating diets based on digestible amino acid. The physical treatments applied in this study were pelleting, crumbling, soaking and finely grinding the diets. Parameters measured were growth rate, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, feed digestibility, apparent metabolizable energy (AME) of the diet, passage rate, jejunal viscosity, gut dimensions and digesta weight. The results of the experiments using palm kernel meal showed that bulk density and water holding capacity were 0.57 g/cm3 and 2.93 g water/g feed respectively. These values are close to the values of conventional feedstuffs tested in this study. Accordingly, PKM is neither bulky nor watery when soaked. Therefore, feed intake was not affected by PKM. Palm kernel meal contains 13.6 % protein with high arginine content, being 19.2 mg/g. Ileal digestibilities of crude protein, arginine, lysine and methionine in PKM were 53.6, 81.9, 57.2 and 71.5% respectively. Palm kernel meal could be used up to 40%, provided that energy and amino acids are balanced. Body weights of birds fed diets containing up to 40% PKM in the diet were similar to the body weight of birds fed corn-soy diets. Feed digestibility was low in PKM based diets, due to the high dietary fibre, causing birds to consume large amounts of feed to gain optimal growth. Jejunal digesta viscosity of birds fed PKM based diets was low compared with those of birds fed a corn soy diet. The use of enzymes did not improve the birds production significantly. However, feed digestibility and AME of the diet were increased when enzymes were added to the diet. Analysis of CM indicated that is bulk density and water holding capacity were much less and much greater respectively than values for conventional feedstuffs, being about 0.49 g/cm3 for bulk density and 4.14 g water/g feed for water holding capacity. Copra meal contains 21.7% crude protein with high arginine content (30.5 mg/g) but low in lysine (5.5 mg/g). Ileal digestibility of crude protein, arginine, lysine and methionine were 63.1, 85.6, 51.3 and 71.1% respectively. The use of CM in the diet lowered feed digestibility and AME of the diet. The birds fed CM based diets consumed more water and less feed than did birds fed corn-soy (CS) diets. The use of enzymes did not improve the growth rate of birds in the starter period but they did increase it to a similar level compared to birds fed the CS diet when the birds were kept for six or more weeks. Soaking the diet gave similar results to the addition of enzymes. However, fine grinding either CM or the whole diet decreased the performance of birds. Significant improvement in the growth rate of birds was made when either CM or the diet was pelleted and fed as crumbles but not when the pelleted material was finely ground. Measurement of gut response of birds consuming CM showed that gizzard weight was increased when the birds were fed the unmodified CM or pelleted CM but not when fed fine ground, soaked or enzyme supplemented CM diets. However, the birds fed the CM based diet had heavier intestines than those of birds fed the CS diet. No doubt due to their larger body size, the beak size was bigger in birds fed larger feed particle sizes. There was a significant correlation between the size of the feed particles eaten by the birds and the width of the beak. The birds tended to prefer a feed particles size of 40% of the width of the beak. Larger feed particle sizes travelled down the digestive tract faster than finer feed particle sizes thus increasing feed intake and hence growth rate. In conclusion, there was no deleterious effect in using up to 40 % PKM in the diet provided that the diet was balanced, particularly in digestible amino acids and energy. Enzyme supplementation increased the digestibility of PKM based diets. Even if CM based diets were balanced, the use of enzymes, soaking the diets or pelleting the CM diet was needed to improve the feeding value of CM.

LONDON (Reuters) - ITV (ITV.L) allayed fears about Christmas demand for advertising slots on Tuesday after companies deserted the broadcaster in the summer when the Olympics and Paralympics attracted large audiences for rivals.
Britain's largest free-to-air commercial broadcaster, home to period drama "Downton Abbey" and reality show "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here", said net advertising revenue (NAR) for the year would be broadly flat, outperforming the wider television market.
NAR for the nine months to end-September edged ahead of the year before to 1.08 billion pounds ($1.71 billion), it said, as a strong performance from the Euro 2012 soccer championship was offset by drops in July and August, when the London Olympics and Paralympics diverted viewers.
Shares in the group rose 5.6 percent to 91.6 pence by 0928 GMT, topping the FTSE 100 .FTSE leaderboard.
Analysts at Numis said it was a "strong" update, and they upgraded the company to "buy" from "add".
"Despite early scare stories on fourth-quarter advertising which indicated a mid-single digit decline, ITV has outperformed the market and expects Q4 to be down just 2 percent," they said.
"By category, retail has shown improvement after a soft first-half while tech is benefiting from the tablet Christmas and telecommunications from 4G," it added, in reference to the high profile advertising campaign from EE for its new 4G mobile network.
ITV said its production division, ITV Studios, was trading strongly with total revenue up 20 percent to 498 million pounds ($790.2 million).
The company said on Tuesday its total external revenues rose 4 percent to 1.57 billion pounds, with non-NAR revenues up 15 percent to 730 million pounds.
ITV, which currently has "The X-factor" as the centrepiece of its weekend schedule, ended the period with net cash of 90 million pounds.
It said total cost savings would be around 30 million pounds in 2012, 10 million pounds ahead of target.
"The economic outlook remains uncertain and we continue to see monthly volatility in the UK television advertising market, but the underlying trends have not changed," said CEO Adam Crozier. ($1 = 0.6302 British pounds)

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Don't sleep on
That was the message the Packers and the veteran receiver sent on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, as Driver enjoyed a two-touchdown game for the first time in six years in helping the Packers to a 38-35 win over the Giants to remain unbeaten.
"I just had fun today," said Driver, who scored on short TD passes in the second and fourth quarters. "When the opportunities come you have to make the best of them, and my opportunity came today and I wasn't going to let it slip away."
Taking on a lesser role without complaint in a passing offense that features
Driver caught only four passes on Sunday, for 34 yards, but he found the end zone twice for the first time since Nov. 21, 2005, at Lambeau Field against Minnesota.
"D-Drive had a great game today," Finley said. "I love him to death."
On his first score, with 1:10 left in the second quarter, Driver was left all alone in the end zone when it appeared New York's coverage was focused on Nelson. The throw was a little low, but he made sure to secure the 13-yard catch by tumbling to the ground.
"They don't worry about me," Driver joked. "You're old and they don't worry about you any more. They left me wide open."
His second score was vintage Driver, as the 13-year veteran stayed alive in the back of the end zone as quarterback
The play was reviewed, and Driver nearly stepped out of the back of the end zone before coming back to make the catch, but he stayed in – both there and as he made the 7-yard grab.
"I can get a little excited sometimes, and I pretty much ran out of breath picking him up and hitting him and messing with him," Jennings said. "Huge catch. That's why he's still here."
Driver wasn't a factor on the game-winning drive, but the march was nonetheless an example of how balanced the Packers' passing attack is.
Rodgers completed four straight passes, to four different players, to get the Packers in position for
He hit Finley for 24 yards, Nelson for 27, rookie running back
"That's what makes us difficult to stop," Nelson said. "That's the main problem teams have against us is who to match up with. Right down the field, four different guys. Everyone's expected to make plays."
No receiver topped 100 yards for the Packers but three came close. Jennings and Nelson finished with 94 yards apiece, and Finley added 87.
Despite a few drops here and there during the day, the receiving corps' confidence was sky-high with the game on the line.
"Nothing was really said," Jennings said. "Guys pretty much knew. This is it. Let's go get it. There was nothing that needed to be said. This is the type of team we've created."
A team that can count on any receiver in any situation, even the oldest of the bunch who quietly leads and remains as reliable as ever.
"Even though his role is diminished a little bit he still stays positive, and that's what we need," Jennings said of his good friend. "When his number is called, just like anybody else he's going to make the play."

Characteristics and sound properties
The toughest challenge for a high-end loudspeaker is to reproduce the lowest frequencies of larger instruments, such as an organ or double bass, with appropriate fidelity. Only very few speakers are at all able to reproduce the lowest register of a church organ and even then only the very best are able to make it sound as if it was coming from an organ pipe. To do credit to a double bass in all its glory without sounding fluffy or over-inflated or, even worse, giving up altogether, is the reserve of very few, outstanding loudspeaker constructions. The "Les Orgues" speaker series, in this case the "Petit Orgue" species, represent exactly that capability. With their WS 25 E - 8 Ohm woofers, optimised specifically as a free-air system, mounted in a folded, but open baffle, they are able to reproduce bass down to below 20 Hz in a most natural, unhurried and completely unexaggerated manner and with no sign of weakness. Since there is, in effect, no enclosure, the resonant frequency of the woofer is not increased, which enables it to emanate clear, non-compressed extremely low frequencies.
In contrast to conventional loudspeaker cabinets in which it is the sheer size that determines, to a large extent, their capability to produce very low frequencies, the "Petit Orgue" can indeed compete with its big brother, the "Grand Orgue", in terms of depth. The differences between them are limited, in the main, to the sensitivity and maximum volume level, while the lower limiting frequency is identical. You have to actually hear with your own ears how this unassuming little speaker pumps those deep-black sound waves around the listening room before you can believe it. It may be that the maximum volume level is restricted, but the very fact that it is able to produce lower bass frequencies than most of the larger column speakers is more than impressive.
The precondition for this low-range bass imaging, which uses double-sided radiation, is, however, to ensure the speakers are far enough away from the wall. One metre is sufficient, but for full power right to the bottom of the bass range, 2 - 3 metres is preferable. It is, therefore, not really feasible to use the "Petit Orgue" as a shelf-mounted solution, despite its modest size.
As in the big brother, oval SL 713 - 4 Ohm full-range drivers are responsible for the range above 300 Hz. This moderately priced full-range loudspeaker is characterised by its extremely light paper diaphragm and the voice coil carrier made of kraft paper which, together, ensure absolutely natural sound right through to the highest frequencies. Since only two of them are in use here, there is no need for separate controllers. It is a good idea, however, to use suitable stands to raise the "Petit Orgue" speakers to ear height because the two full-range loudspeakers radiate their output as a beam.
The tonality of these speakers is comparable to that of the "Grand Orgue": highly authentic, direct, dynamic. The bass is incredibly deep and yet retains unobtrusive clarity. With the "Petit Orgue", low-frequency instruments, powerful orchestral moments and voices come across absolutely authentically and with a large portion of live atmosphere. The image of the orchestral layout is clearly defined and focussed, even if, as a result of the construction principle, it cannot quite reproduce the exceptional precision of which the "Grand Orgue" with its 8-fold array is capable.
Be that as it may, the "Petit Orgue" is far more than just a baby brother. It is indeed a fully-fledged high-end loudspeaker system that is designed to appeal to listeners who may not need absolute top-of the range volume levels but who do require deep black crisp bass and extremely authentic instrument layout.
Hint: The bass part of the "Petit Orgue", on its own without the full-range drivers, connected direct up to an active source without a passive crossover, acts as an excellent subwoofer and can be used, either singly or as a pair, to support music-orientated high-end loudspeakers and full-range loudspeakers down to the lowest bass frequencies.

Type of Conclusion:

CFR Section:
There is no CFR citation.
SCOGS Opinion:
The literature on the biological activity of gum guaiac indicates that it is a substance of very low acute toxicity. A number of short- and long-term feeding studies in experimental animals at levels orders of magnitude greater than those to which humans might be exposed indicate the abscence of chronic effects. Daily ingestion by human subjects for nearly four years resulted in no observable adverse effects. The Select Committee has found no indication that gum guaiac is currently used as a food ingredient. In the light of the foregoing, the Select Committee concludes that: There is no evidence in the available information on gum guaiac that demonstrates, or suggests seasonable grounds to suspect, a hazard to the public if it is used as an antioxidant at levels compatible with current limitations.

Average rating for Curtains
Gawgeous!These curtains are stunning! Yes, they cost a pretty penny, but I couldn't imagine my bedroom with any other curtains. These HAD to be it. And, indeed, they brought everything together. I ordered these curtains in the light red color. I was concerned with other reviews about the actual color of the curtains in comparison with the way they look online. The color is true, but a bit more muted. So, it's not as bright as the picture online. It has more blue than yellow undertones, but I'd say that the online picture is pretty accurate. Maybe a bit mauve - but a happy mauve, not a sad mauve. The curtains have a separate lining that is sewn to the top and side, adding an extra layer. I placed a white linen curtain behind these on a double-rod curtain. Do not hesitate to order these. They are really beautiful.
Amazing!Purchased these gorgeous drapes to go over my sliding doors to the back yard off of my family room. Besides the doors are numerous windows covered by off white linen roman shades. The natural color was the perfect compliment. The ruffles boast a earthy natural look - pure boho glam style. I hung the drapes high on the wall and they are an instant eye catcher when someone walks into the room. If you are concerned with the price, realize you get what you pay for. This is a luxe yet earthy style - therefore the threads and feathered ends are a compliment to the style. Highly recommend to someone looking for this style.
great curtainsi ordered those in natural color. waited for ages until those became available. made me quite mad, but it was worth it. they're light, and subtly beautiful, with their pleats, and are exactly(or almost exactly) the color of my wall (Cangaroo by Benjamin Moore if u want to look it up, though i'm sure it looks slightly different on the screen), creating thus the soft, unintrusive look i wanted to create for my bedroom's window. they are rather transparent(do have lining, but thin one), so they do let the light in, but they transform it from a blinding and bright to a very soft, golden, fairy-tale-y one. in short, i'm in love with those curtains. i look at them and smile. they arrived a bit wrinkled, but no big deal..i never iron, it goes away by itself.

Lovely, Airy and PerfectI had been eying these curtains online for months and finally took the plunge and bought them in raspberry! I waited so long to purchase them because it seemed a bit pricey for 2 panels but I just couldn't find anything I liked more than these. I am very happy with them! They arrived quickly and were exactly what I wanted for our bedroom. They look lovely! And the extra liner in the back is great for privacy. They let a lot of light in but you can't see through the curtains from the outside.
Beautiful curtains.I Love 'em! Just beautiful. I ordered 5 panels in blue. I was very happy they have liner on the back and they still let light in. The design is lovely and the colors of flowers and leaves are working beautifully together. They make a statement in my living room and dining room and I got many complements and questions about them from friends. I can't find even one negative to say.
StunningI ordered these curtains for our new house not knowing for sure how they would look in person and I'm blown away by how gorgeous they are! They are the first thing that everyone notices and comments on when they walk in the door. They are beautiful and great quality. I would recumbent these to everyone!

Love these curtainsWe have a small White bedroom with a large wood head board these curtains did just as I expected they made the room come together. One thing the picture does not show is the edging. There are sequence and beads which was an added bonus.
Gorgeous , unique!These curtains have transformed our bedroom into a place of intrigue and mystique. They don't provide much light-filtering, but we have shades behind them, so not a problem. In fact, the light filtering through the cut outs looks beautiful and lends a subtle shimmer to the sequined edges. I think they're a little bit saucy, late Victorian/slightly raffish Arts & Crafts. As you can tell, I'm rather taken with them!
Statement curtain!This curtain definitely darkens the room but I'm using in a first floor powder room that is done in deep tones. I love the way the sun streams through the cutwork. Perfect textile for my jewel box bathroom. Love it.

Simple with pizazz!I was looking for a neutral curtain that had a little big of spunk. These fit the bill perfectly! The color is a neutral-y, muslin-y type of color, the material is light enough to let light through with some fibers woven through to give it that bohemian look, but my favorite thing about these curtains is the embroidered, sequined shapes.. Its really pretty and interesting without being too over the top. The colors of the embroidered shapes are light and dark grays, a pale blue, and a mustard yellow... all muted colors that will go with many decors.The sequins are subtle, you cant really see them unless you're really up close. I would highly reccomend these!
Gorgeous curtainsThese curtains are absolutely beautiful. They are the perfect addition to my dining room. Very high quality with nice details. They have a lot of texture - shimmery embroidery throughout and velvety round circles near the top. Delicate and pretty against my light green walls. I highly recommend these curtains.

Love my curtains!Very happy with these. I ordered the navy and the colour is very accurate. The material is thicker and softer than expected. They're almost like a velvet, only a little less plush. They're in my bedroom and keep most of the light out. All in all, very happy!

Love these curtains!!!I ordered these for my daughter's bedroom, and they're honestly everything I hoped they would be. High quality, beautiful design. ONE THING TO NOTE: I have no idea why they call these "orange". I think anyone can look at the photo and see that they're more of a red/coral, and I was banking on that when I ordered them. Exactly as suspected - red/coral through and through, nothing orange about them.

Curtains�have a way of polishing off any room of the house. Being the incurable magpies that we are, we especially gravitate towards�curtains�that are embroidered, appliqu�d and flocked, as they have a way of injecting levity and energy into your space.�In addition to considering the palette, texture and opacity of your curtains (remember: a curtain's truest function is to filter the sun!), be sure to pay mind to your�curtain hardware. From colorful glass and ceramic finals to burnished brass and iron rods, today's�hardware�choices are anything but staid. This season, we take a particular shine to those curtain panels and�curtain hardware�inspired by nature - think falling leaves, blooming flora and scurrying
