"Interesting, but a bit long"
This story was quite interesting, a new take on a story we all know. It did become a bit long, and at times a little hard to follwo all the stories, but the overall impact of the sinking of the Titanic on these people's lives was very interesting.
I could not even make it into an hour of this book. The ridiculous characters and their crazy neediness was overwhelming. Hated it.
"Love! Love! Love!"
I so enjoyed this book, even if the ending was a bit predictable, the characters were so great that I loved every minute.
It was on ok listen when I needed something to listen to without really thinking, but overall the story really was just a big whatever. I an not at all interested in reading the next in the series.
"Way longer then it needed to be"
Characters are fun and I have followed the story since the beginning.
There were a number of parts I the story that I found frustrating because they were needlessly drawn out. I enjoy suspense in a story, but only when it makes sense for the story.
"Could not get into it...I gave up"
Not sure if it got better...I could not hold on and keep listening. I just could not get intot he character or what was happening. After an hour, I decided I would rather waste my money than my time.
"Strong female main character to love"
I really enjoyed this book. The narrantor did a great job of creating a scene with her voice and making you feel as if you were living through these times and the experiences of the characters. I really wanted to hear what happened with the main character, who was clearly not perfect, and made some bad decisions and had hard times, but kept moving forward.
"Oh my gosh, I cried in public while listening"
The main character was great. I loved her development and she was so increadably real. While I am a HUGE fan of cheesy books with happy endings...which this is NOT, I would definitely listen to this again. Great in every way.
I stopped listening after 30 mins. The narrator was terrible, I could not stand listening to him do the womens voices. Also, I hate when audio books have sound effects. It is a book. While I am listening to someone read it to me...I do not need to hear shotgun sounds...I still have some imagination. It was like a bad impression of what some one thinks gangsters should sound like. I hated it the story, the dialog, really just the whole thing.
"Fun series...not huge on substance, but fun"
So I have listened to the whole series and my thoughts are the same on all the books. The stories are not huge on substance, but the main character is fun, her love interest is interesting and a little different and the intereaction between her and her friends is fun. Good read while working out or puttering around.
"Took a while to get into it, but ended well"
I am not sure I would have continued past the beginign if not for the great best friend character, but glad I stuck with it. Story did not have any really deep meaning, but still a fun and interesting listen. Love the characters and the development of the relationships. I thinkt hat is my favorite part of the Author's books.

Take a Peek at the Undercover World of Parasites
– Launch of Online Video Tour Showcases the Fascinating World of Parasites
Who said that learning about bugs was boring? An amazing new journey
through the wonderful world of parasites launches on YouTube today. Four
exciting videos, inspired by the 'Parasites Life Undercover' exhibition at
the Berlin Natural History Museum and developed by Bayer Animal Health,
showcase some fascinating highlights from the exhibition and provide useful
information about protecting your pets.
Join celebrity vet,
including fleas, mosquitoes and even vampire bats, and watch as he shows us
how they can harm our pets and what we should do to protect against them.
Scott says, "As a vet I would strongly recommend that owners understand how
their pets can be affected by parasites and these videos provide a great way
to learn about these unwelcome pests." Scott also highlights the impact that
urbanisation and climate change have had on the prevalence of parasites.
Whether you have a cat or a dog or you're simply interested to learn more
about parasites, visit http://www.youtube.com/user/parasitesundercover1 to
view the online video tour.
says, "The launch of these videos provides a wonderful opportunity to learn
more about parasites in a fun and entertaining way. We hope, however, that
viewers will also learn more about the inherent dangers some of these
creatures pose to our beloved pets and the steps owners can take to protect
their pets from them."
These engaging and educational videos reflect Bayer's continued
commitment to the health and wellbeing of animals. With 100 years actively
working in the field of parasite control, Bayer is well positioned to provide
this fascinating insight into the parasite world. In addition to the

Protestors Erect tents in E1 as Obama Arrives in Israel
JPost – Dozens of Palestinians erected protest tents in the E1 region between Ma'ale Adumim and Jerusalem in the West Bank on Wednesday, Israel Radio reported.
The protesters flew a large Palestinian flag and hung a photo of US President Barack Obama on one of the tents. Around 150 Palestinians came to the site and put up a number of smaller tents.

Meg Lanker-Simons: Still Another Hate Hoaxer
Yet another one:
A well-known female liberal blogger and radio host at the University of Wyoming (UW) is being accused by police of fabricating a rape threat against herself to appear as if it came from a conservative.
The obscene message directed at activist Meg Lanker-Simons was posted on a college "crush" Facebook page earlier this week and immediately ignited outrage from the college community.
"I want to hate f**k Meg Lanker-Simons so hard. That chick that runs her liberal mouth all the time and doesn't care who knows it," it read. "I think its hot and it makes me angry. One night with me and shes gonna be a good Republican bitch," the post reads, according to a screenshot.
She wrote the post herself, then apparently escalated her illegitimate attempt at self-promotion all the way to the local police.
But on Monday, The University of Wyoming Police Department issued a citation to Lanker-Simons for "interference" for "false statements she made to the UW Police Department," according to a UW statement referred to by Laramie Boomerang Online.
"Subject admitted to making a controversial post on UW Crushes webpage and then lied about not doing it," according to the citation.
Lanker-Simons's credentials as a moonbat are impressive:
According to a Facebook page that apparently belongs to Lanker-Simons she is a member of the University of Wyoming Gender & Women's Studies group as well as the school's chapter of The Nonviolent Communist. …
Lanker-Simons was in the news in 2010 when she was a plaintiff in a successful lawsuit against UW after it retracted its invitation to have Bill Ayers speak on campus.
Bill Ayers is of course the unreconstructed communist terrorist who mentored and launched the political career of the left-wing radical the media has installed in the Oval Office.
Ms. Wanker-Simons can now join the long list of liberal hate hoaxers that includes among others:
• Olander Cuthrell
• Charlie Rogers
• Sharmeka Moffitt
• Joseph Baken
• Alexandra Pennell
• Aimee Whitchurch and Christel Conklin
• Quinn Matney
• Aubriana Banks
• Sarah Marshak
• Tawana Brawley
• Crystal Gail Mangum
• Kerri Dunn
• Leah Miller
• Ahmad Saad Nasim
Hate hoaxes must work, since libs fall back on them so frequently. Maybe for every one that is debunked, many others are passed off as actual hate crimes. But that seems unlikely, since most hate crimes that prove genuine are directed against whites for being white or Jews for being Jews, with neither group having any need to fake hate crimes, which will be ignored by the national media anyway.
Here's another possibility: given that they are liberals and live in an alternate reality consisting entirely of toxic ideology, it doesn't matter to them whether the hate crimes are revealed as hoaxes or not. After all, each is symbolically true, in accordance with moonbat dogma. In support of this theory:
Since police cited her, supporters have a constructed a Facebook page entitled "Meg Lanker-Simons is innocent."
"Meg Lanker-Simons is innocent we believe what she did was justified and deserves not to be held accountable for her accusations we stand behind you sister," reads that page's description.
"What she did was justified" would seem to mean, "it's okay that you are lying; we believe you anyway." This illustrates why you are wasting your breath to argue with a liberal.

New Mouse Killer Offers Safe Alternative; Toxic Only to Rodents, Innovative Formula Kills Rodents Without Endangering Children or Pets.
ST. LOUIS -- As the weather cools this autumn, mice will seek refuge indoors, making your home their home. In fact, 21 million homes nationwide are invaded by mice each winter. While conventional rodenticides are safe when used according to label instructions, nearly 500 pets monthly, and more than 15,000 children younger than six annually, accidentally eat rat and mouse poisons. However, there is now an alternative for killing those unwelcome visitors, that is also safe to use around children and pets, while fast and effective in killing mice.Safe-Kill(TM) Mouse Killer is a remarkable new breakthrough that gives families a ready-to-use safe way to kill mice in the home - without harming children, pets or non-rodent wildlife - because it's only toxic to rodents. According to market research, 88 percent of consumers are seeking a rodenticide that can be used around children and pets, and Safe-Kill is the answer.
"The reality is mice are a household problem. Families now have a safer solution to use around their children and pets that matches the speed of kill of a traditional rodenticide," said Kristin Ebert, Senior Product Manager, Spectrum Brands. "Overwhelmingly, consumers seek a product that works, is safe and easy to use ... and Safe-Kill meets that challenge."
Safe-Kill is made from a natural corn oil/corn cob formula that does not harm non-rodent animals or humans. The pellet formulation is only toxic to rodents because they have a unique digestive tract that is regulated by a complex nutrition mechanism. Safe-Kill disrupts that mechanism, leading to coma and death.
Safe-Kill bait packs require no additional preparation - simply identify areas where rodents are present and place packets along the walls in affected areas. Safe-Kill kills within days, and is also effective at killing mice that have grown resistant to the poisons used in conventional rodenticide products. Each bait packet is effective in killing up to 10 mice.
Safe-Kill became available nationally in October 2005 at leading mass retailers, grocery stores, drug stores, and home and garden centers, such as Walgreen's, Kmart, Home Depot, and Wal-Mart.

A Comparison of Teacher and Student Attitudes Concerning Use and Effectiveness of Web-based Course Management Software
November 7, 2005
In a recent research study, students overwhelmingly felt that their learning of course content had improved as a result of faculty members using a course management package comparable to myWPI. Similarly, faculty members who used the package felt that faculty-student and student-student communication was being better facilitated as a result. Read the research (PDF).

As businesses with a national presence continue to open their doors to our four-legged friends (e.g., TD Bank, Days Inn, Motel 6), restaurants are getting into the act as well. There is a growing national trend for restaurants with outdoor dining options to welcome people with their pups. Even high-end eating establishments are beginning to recognize the societal shift that is taking place as the dog becomes more and more a member of the family that won't be left at home when the family goes out.
While there are varied health-code restrictions depending on where you live, more often than not as long as the dog doesn't have to enter the eating establishment to get to the outdoor dining area, there shouldn't be a problem. I've previously blogged about the Dog-Friendly Downtown Program Sloppy Kisses spearheaded in Downtown Saratoga Springs, New York. We have several eateries with outdoor dining options in the program. The restaurateurs have been very pleased with the response from the doggie community. One restaurant in particular has played host to several doggie birthday parties. Some of the tabs on these pup parties have approached that of a wedding rehearsal dinner or a retirement party. Needless to say, if dining with the dog helps the bottom line, it's not too hard to convince restaurant owners to go dog-friendly.
Do you have a restaurant in your area with a pleasant, outdoor patio that would be perfect for dogs and their owners to enjoy a night out? Don't hesitate to approach the restaurant owner with a proposal on going dog-friendly. Maybe start with a one-time Yappy Hour just to give the restaurant owner a flavor of what he/she can expect if they were to become dog-friendly. The restaurant will undoubtedly benefit as will your business as you continue to develop customer loyalty through creative means like this one.

First normal form
First normal form (1NF) is a property of a relation in a relational database. A relation is in first normal form if the domain of each attribute contains only atomic values, and the value of each attribute contains only a single value from that domain.[1]
Edgar Codd, in a 1971 conference paper, defined a relation in first normal form to be one such that none of the domains of that relation should have elements which are themselves sets.[2]
First normal form is an essential property of a relation in a relational database. Database normalization is the process of representing a database in terms of relations in standard normal forms, where first normal is a minimal requirement.
The following scenario illustrates how a database design might violate first normal form.[3][4]
Domains and values[edit]
Suppose a designer wishes to record the names and telephone numbers of customers. He defines a customer table which looks like this:
Customer ID | First Name | Surname | Telephone Number |
123 | Robert | Ingram | 555-861-2025 |
456 | Jane | Wright | 555-403-1659 |
789 | Maria | Fernandez | 555-808-9633 |
The designer then becomes aware of a requirement to record multiple telephone numbers for some customers. He reasons that the simplest way of doing this is to allow the "Telephone Number" field in any given record to contain more than one value:
Customer ID | First Name | Surname | Telephone Number |
123 | Robert | Ingram | 555-861-2025 |
456 | Jane | Wright | 555-403-1659 555-776-4100 |
789 | Maria | Fernandez | 555-808-9633 |
Assuming, however, that the Telephone Number column is defined on some telephone number-like domain, such as the domain of 12-character strings, the representation above is not in first normal form.
A design that complies with 1NF[edit]
In the first normal form, the previous table can be represented in the following way.
Customer ID | First Name | Surname | Telephone Number |
123 | Robert | Ingram | 555-861-2025 |
456 | Jane | Wright | 555-403-1659 |
456 | Jane | Wright | 555-776-4100 |
789 | Maria | Fernandez | 555-808-9633 |
However, this database design does not meet the more stringent requirements of second normal form.[5]
A design that also complies with higher normal forms[edit]
Another design for the same data makes use of two tables: a Customer Name table and a Customer Telephone Number table.
This design is in first normal form. Indeed, repeating groups of telephone numbers do not occur in this design. Instead, each Customer-to-Telephone Number link appears on its own record. With Customer ID as key, a one-to-many relationship exists between the two tables. A record in the "parent" table, Customer Name, can have many telephone number records in the "child" table, Customer Telephone Number, but each telephone number belongs to one, and only one customer. It is worth noting that this design meets the additional requirements for second and third normal form.
Edgar F. Codd's definition of 1NF makes reference to the concept of 'atomicity'. Codd states that the "values in the domains on which each relation is defined are required to be atomic with respect to the DBMS."[6] Codd defines an atomic value as one that "cannot be decomposed into smaller pieces by the DBMS (excluding certain special functions)"[7] meaning a field should not be divided into parts with more than one kind of data in it such that what one part means to the DBMS depends on another part of the same field.
Hugh Darwen and Chris Date have suggested that Codd's concept of an "atomic value" is ambiguous, and that this ambiguity has led to widespread confusion about how 1NF should be understood.[8][9] In particular, the notion of a "value that cannot be decomposed" is problematic, as it would seem to imply that few, if any, data types are atomic:
- A character string would seem not to be atomic, as the RDBMS typically provides operators to decompose it into substrings.
- A fixed-point number would seem not to be atomic, as the RDBMS typically provides operators to decompose it into integer and fractional components.
- An ISBN would seem not to be atomic, as it includes language and publisher identifiers.
Date suggests that "the notion of atomicity has no absolute meaning":[10] a value may be considered atomic for some purposes, but may be considered an assemblage of more basic elements for other purposes. If this position is accepted, 1NF cannot be defined with reference to atomicity. Columns of any conceivable data type (from string types and numeric types to array types and table types) are then acceptable in a 1NF table—although perhaps not always desirable; for example, it would be more desirable to separate a Customer Name field into two separate fields as First Name, Surname.
First normal form, as defined by Chris Date, permits relation-valued attributes (tables within tables). Date argues that relation-valued attributes, by means of which a field within a table can contain a table, are useful in rare cases.[11]
1NF tables as representations of relations[edit]
According to Date's definition, a table is in first normal form if and only if it is "isomorphic to some relation", which means, specifically, that it satisfies the following five conditions:[12]
- There's no top-to-bottom ordering to the rows.
- There's no left-to-right ordering to the columns.
- There are no duplicate rows.
- Every row-and-column intersection contains exactly one value from the applicable domain (and nothing else).
- All columns are regular [i.e. rows have no hidden components such as row IDs, object IDs, or hidden timestamps].
Violation of any of these conditions would mean that the table is not strictly relational, and therefore that it is not in first normal form.
Examples of tables (or views) that would not meet this definition of first normal form are:
- A table that lacks a unique key. Such a table would be able to accommodate duplicate rows, in violation of condition 3.
- A view whose definition mandates that results be returned in a particular order, so that the row-ordering is an intrinsic and meaningful aspect of the view.[13] This violates condition 1. The tuples in true relations are not ordered with respect to each other.
- A table with at least one nullable attribute. A nullable attribute would be in violation of condition 4, which requires every field to contain exactly one value from its column's domain. It should be noted, however, that this aspect of condition 4 is controversial. It marks an important departure from Codd's later vision of the relational model,[14] which made explicit provision for nulls.[15]

It states that the domain of an attribute must include only atomic (simple, indivisible) values and that the value of any attribute in a tuple must be a single value from the domain of that attribute.
- ^ E. F. Codd (Oct 1972), Further normalization of the database relational model, Courant Institute: Prentice-Hall, ISBN 013196741X,
A relation is in first normal form if it has the property that none of its domains has elements which are themselves sets.

- ^ Indeed, assuming that different customers can in principle have the same name (although there are no such in the current table), this database design is not in second normal form since "First Name" and "Surname" are non-prime attributes that depend only on Customer ID, not the whole candidate key (Customer ID, Telephone number).

- Will a time change disrupt my baby's routine?
- Will a holiday, even one in the same time zone, disrupt my baby's routine?
- Is it easier to get a formula-fed baby into a routine than a breastfed baby?
- Is it all right to alter my baby's routine to take her to an activity that's during her normal naptime?
Do some babies take to a routine more easily than others?
Yes. Some babies will naturally fall into a predictable eating and sleeping routine or adapt fairly easily to a routine you set for them. But if your baby is reluctant to settle into a pattern, try not to worry. That's normal too.Each baby is different. Some like routine and some don't. However, by watching your baby and taking account of his preferences, you should be able to establish a simple routine over time.
Bear in mind that premature babies and low-birth-weight babies may stay asleep for shorter spells and feed more often. Talk to your health visitor or GP if you have any concerns about your baby's routine.
Will a time change disrupt my baby's routine?
It may do. But if you're talking about losing or gaining an hour thanks to the clocks going forwards or backwards, it shouldn't take your baby long to adjust.For example, if your baby usually wakes at 7am, you may be dismayed to find him waking at 6am after the clocks go back. If you wait for a few days, you should find that your baby returns to his later wake-up time.
Still, there are steps you can take to ease everyone into the time-change adjustment. Try putting your baby to bed between 10 minutes and 15 minutes earlier or later during the week leading up to the change.
The same advice applies to switching time zones. You can slowly move things backwards or forwards, depending on where you're travelling to, in the week before you go. On your return, just reverse the process, and be patient as your baby adjusts.
One way to help your baby to adjust to a big time change is to give him clues about when it's daytime and night-time. Have lots of walks and playtime outside during the day. Then quieten things down and dim the lights in the late afternoon or early evening to get him ready for sleep.
Even changing your baby's clothes when he gets up and before he goes to sleep can help him to learn when the day is ending and beginning.
Will a holiday, even one in the same time zone, disrupt my baby's routine?
If you've established a routine for your baby, he may find the disruption of a holiday hard to cope with at first. It will take him a little while to adjust to eating, sleeping and playing somewhere different.Being in the same time zone will help, as it will be easier to keep to your baby's normal nap and feeding times. But if your holiday involves lots of activities he's not used to and long days, it may be difficult to settle your baby.
These tips can help you settle your baby when you're away from home:
- If your baby wakes when the sun rises, pack a travel black-out blind in case his room doesn't have thick curtains or shutters.
- You may want to take a plug-in night light with you. It may be useful for settling your baby back to sleep in an unfamiliar room.
- Take your baby's sheet and blanket so that his sleeping place smells like home.
- Take along a few of his favourite toys and books.
Is it easier to get a formula-fed baby into a routine than a breastfed baby?
There's disagreement about whether formula-fed babies sleep for longer stretches than breastfed babies.It's possible that breastfed babies wake more often than babies who are formula fed. Breastmilk is easier to digest than formula milk, so it could be that babies get hungry more quickly and wake more often.
But not everyone agrees that formula-fed babies sleep for longer. And even if they do, this doesn't necessarily mean they'll adapt to a routine more easily than a breastfed baby.
All babies are different. Whether your baby is breastfed or formula-fed, the best way to get him into a routine is to understand the cues that tell you when he's getting hungry or tired.
Is it all right to alter my baby's routine to take her to an activity that's during her normal naptime?
It's best not to change your baby's routine too often, as it may make the rest of the day more wearing for both of you.For example, you may feel tempted to take your baby to an activity that coincides with his morning nap. However, as a result, he may be so overtired that he's hard to settle for a nap when you do get home.
If you push his afternoon nap to a later time, he may skip it completely, meaning he'll be overtired by bedtime. Or, he may start his nap so late that he's not tired when you try to put him down for the night.
Of course, every baby is different. While some babies will be thrown off track by change, others will happily settle down for a nap at a different time.
And bear in mind that you can't avoid life getting in the way every now and again. After the occasional break, getting your baby back into his normal routine shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Abstract: | Frequency of occurrence changes are cited for 154 rare and infrequent taxa of herbaceous vascular plants listed by Edwin L. Moseley in 1928. Of these taxa, approximately 47% are less frequent now (1978) than 50 years ago. Twentysix percent exhibit the same frequency of occurrence and 27% arc more frequent than they were 50 years ago. Approximately 50% of these rare and infrequent taxa are widespread in distribution, 35% are northern, 7.5% are southern, 6% are western and 3% are originally from the Atlantic Coastal Plain. One hundred thirteen new taxa are cited that were not reported by Moseley 50 years ago. |

Seinen series are far more enjoyable to me than a regular old Shonen or Shojo series.
For those that don't know what Seinen is... Seinen manga are series that are aimed at male readers ages 18-30. While a variation on the Shonen style comics, Seinen series contain more graphic violence and adult situations. (Of course the audience also covers a fair amount of girls and women as well as middle-aged men who read Seinen manga.)
The female equivalent to seinen is Josei.
My favorite Seinen series so far includes Gantz, Ergo Proxy, Elfen Lied, and Homunculus.

Fabric manufacturers are experiencing a revolution at present: if clothing previously offered protection against the cold, rain, and snow, the trend now is toward intelligent, proactive, high-tech textiles like self-cleaning jackets, gloves that recognize toxins, and ski anoraks with integrated navigational devices to make life easier for those wearing them.
Related Articles
Most clever clothing is only at the prototype stage. It is by no means off-the-rack yet. Soon the FitnessSHIRT from the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS in Erlangen, Germany, will be ready for the mass market. It continuously measures physiological signals such as breathing, pulse, and changes in heart rate -- metrics of adaptability and stress load. The intelligent sports shirt is expected to be available sometime in the next year, as an investor is already on-board.
Smart electronics are hidden in the material
Conductive textile electrodes integrated into the shirt's material capture the wearer's cardio activity. In addition, an elastic band around the upper body senses the motion of the chest during breathing. A removable electronic unit attached with snaps digitizes the raw data and calculates additional parameters like pulse rate or breath rate with the help of algorithms. The data are transmitted via radio link to a smartphone or optionally to a PC, where they are evaluated further and can be stored. These parameters form the basis for judging vital functions like stress, performance, exertion, or relaxation.
"The FitnessSHIRT can be employed a number of ways. It offers completely new options for the pursuit of sports, leisure activities, and wellness, as well as options for the medical branch," says Christian Hofmann, an engineer at IIS. For example, it could act as a training partner to provide seniors or rehabilitation patients with feedback on their vital signs during exercises or bicycling, and protect them from overexertion. Athletes will also benefit: for one thing, the SHIRT is more comfortable to wear than a chest strap. For another, the integrated sensors deliver more detailed information. Besides pulse and respiration, accelerometers sense the movement of the user and carry out an analysis. "If the pulse rate is high, for example, while the breath rate and the exercise activity is low, it could be a sign of possible heart problems," according to Hofmann.
The developers of the MENTORbike are also persuaded by the high degree of comfort when worn and the possibilities for performance diagnostics. MENTORbike is a new type of training device consisting of a pedelec, a smartphone, and an intelligent user service site on the internet. The project partners, led by BitifEye Digital Test Solutions, want to use the pedelec in combination with the FitnessSHIRT from IIS in future. The SHIRT will have a wireless connection via smartphone to the pedelec and the user service site on the internet, where the data can be viewed, analyzed, and documented. The smartphone mounted on the bicycle handlebars collects the vital parameters it receives like pulse and breath rate as well as the physical data, for instance the energy expended and the speed, analyzes them, and cuts in the electric motor as needed.
"If the pulse rate exceeds a maximum value of 150, for example, the rider is supported by the motor taking some of the load. If the pulse rate falls below a value of 80 beats per minute, the electric motor is throttled back and the pedal loading increased again. The motor output adapts automatically to the fitness of the cyclist," explains Markus Gratzfeld, an engineer with BitifEye. In this way, users are assured of an optimal level of training at all times, with neither over- nor under-exertion. Rehabilitation patients, especially persons with cardiovascular disease, could monitor their performance limits better, exercise more confidently, and increase their range of movement.

Love to Travel!
Lauren has completed online and offline ID verification.
Lauren was a great a host! Her husband was waiting for us at the apt and check us in. She was quick in replying us to any issue and very available - we ask for leaving the luggage after 12.00 and there were no problem. Apt was nice, warm and clean. Bathroom is very small but I think it's usual in NY. Kitchen was fully equipped even we never cooked there. there is just a small table in the living room, so not the best to have dinner maybe.. The only stuff missing was the hair dryer... had to buy it in china town :)
Even in the midst of terrible weather and power outages, Lauren and Kevin were able to accommodate us for our stay in NYC. Location of the apartment is perfect, and the place itself is well decorated, clean and just what is needed. Check in and check out were smooth and flexible. Thanks again to Lauren and I would highly recommend staying at this apartment.
Our stay at Lauren's place was great. First of all the location is perfect, right at the heart of Manhattan. Everything is easy to reach either on foot or via the ample metro stations close by. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Everything was as described and we did not have any problems. We would stay at Lauren's place anytime again. Thanks for the great stay.
Lauren was a great host and very accommodating. The apartment was perfect for my guest's stay and she was a pleasure to work with.
Lauren and Kevin stayed in my apartment in the New Year's period. They were really great clients. Take good care of my apartment and I would love to receive them again in Paris! Thanks for being my guests.

That's a great recipe! It's similiar to what I've tried for egg-free/wheat free pancakes. I soak quick oats in yogurt then add butter or light olive oil before frying them. Oh wait, I guess I do add baking soda and salt, but I'll have to give this recipe a try.
This looks great. I'll have to try it. I like easy things! Can you add anything else to "spice" it up?
I am certain to find out soon as they have been requested again. The dough is very soft so it looks to take well to additions. Nuts and dried fruit would be easy. Spices would as well. This will be a staple in our house as we always have butter, flour, and cottage cheese around.
"Hopping" over from blogfrog to say hi. What a *great* idea for a blog!! I love cooking with my 5 year old and am always on the hunt for simple recipes. Very cool. :)
Audrey wants to hear from you!

2011 Fantasy Running Back Rankings
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- We have ranked quarterbacks and tight ends so far, today, it's the running backs' turn.
1) Chris Johnson, TEN
- If your league gives bonus points for long touchdowns runs and catches, Johnson is a particularly good No.1 choice. Of his 38 career touchdowns, 17 have been from more than 20 yards out and an amazing 26.3 percent (10) have been "home runs" from 50 yards or more. That's a much higher percentage of "home runs" than you'll get from Adrian Peterson (14.8 percent) or Arian Foster (4.7). "CJ" has produced excellent statistics in every NFL season. He ran for 1,228 yards as a rookie, a stunning 2,006 yards in his second year and 1,364 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. Last year's numbers disappointed fantasy owners, who unrealistically wanted another 2,000-plus yards season, but you must remember how much trouble the Titans had at the quarterback position. Johnson faced eight- and nine-man fronts on almost every play. With Tennessee signing a quality veteran quarterback in Matt Hasselbeck, Johnson should run for 1,600 and a dozen touchdowns and add 350 yards and a couple of scores receiving.
2) Adrian Peterson, MIN
- Like Johnson, Peterson struggled against eight- and nine-man fronts due to the Vikings' quarterback woes. Minnesota went out an got Donovan McNabb to steady the position and he should be solid enough for Peterson to improve on last year's 1,298 yards and 12 touchdowns rushing. He doesn't have the breakaway speed that Johnson has, which is why he sits just behind the Titans' running back.
3) Arian Foster, HOU
- Foster showed flashes of what was to come in the final two games of 2009, but no one was prepared for his 231-yard, three-touchdown opening day. He ended up leading the league in rushing yards (1,616) and rushing touchdowns (16). He also caught 66 balls for 604 yards and a couple of scores. He's got the least history of the top three runners, which makes him more of a gamble, but in PPR leagues he should be the No.1 choice.
4) Jamaal Charles, KC
- Charles combined for 1,935 yards and eight touchdowns from scrimmage in just 275 touches (230 carries, 45 receptions). He should improve on those statistics this season as Thomas Jones continues to slow down and the team gets more confident in Charles' ability to carry the load. He'll never be a "workhorse" back, but if his rushing attempts rise from 14.4 per game to just 17, with his stunning 6.4 ypc, it will be good enough for about 1,750 yards on the ground. Like Foster, in PPR leagues Charles jumps further up the draft board.
5) Ray Rice, BAL
- Rice regressed last year from a giant 2009 season (1,339 yards, 7 TDs, 78 receptions for 702 yards), falling in every significant statistical category. However, in the offseason the Ravens have let both of his veteran backups go (Willis McGahee, Le'Ron McCLain) which would indicate that Rice will be an every down back this year. This turn of events should help return Rice to "elite" status.
6) LeSean McCoy, PHI
- McCoy isn't a big power back who runs the ball 20 times a game, but when you combine his explosive running with his superior receiving skills you get a top fantasy running back. He had just 207 rushes for 1,080 yards in 2010, but when you add his 78 receptions for 592 yards, you get a quality running back. He's a notch below the top five, unless you are in a PPR league. Touchdowns are McCoy's downfall, as the Eagles prefer a big back and/or quarterback Michael Vick to run them in from close range. Just five of McCoy's 13 career touchdowns have come from inside the five-yard line.
7) Michael Turner, ATL
- Turner's 2010 stretch drive was slowed as he played through a groin injury that required offseason surgery. The injury explains why he failed to crack the 100-yard mark in four of his last five games. Despite the problem, Turner led the league with 334 rushing attempts worth 1,371 yards and 12 touchdowns. A healthy Turner should improve on those numbers. Turner is not part of the Atlanta Falcons' passing game, which lowers his value in PPR leagues.
8) Rashard Mendenhall, PIT
- Mendenhall's current ADP of 10 (courtesy of fantasyfootballnerd.com) may leave the Steelers running back overpriced if last year's situation continues. Mendenhall carried the load for Pittsburgh while quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for the first four games of the season. In those first games, Mendenhall averaged 22.3 rushing attempts, 102.8 yards and one touchdown per contest. Then "Big Ben" returned, and for the remainder of the season Mendenhall averaged 19.6 carries and 71.8 yards -- and that included a game against the Buffalo Bills in late November in which he had 36 attempts and 151 yards. As long as Roethlisberger is healthy, Mendenhall's production will be limited.
9) Maurice Jones-Drew, JAC
- Jones-Drew has been restricted in practice by offseason knee surgery, which makes drafting the Jacksonville Jaguars running back a gamble. But it's a gamble with a huge upside, as a healthy "MJD" is a top-five running back. Even with the "bum" knee, Jones-Drew ran for 1,324 yards last season and caught 34 balls for 317 yards. The difference was that he didn't have the drive to pound the ball into the end zone. His rushing touchdowns fell from 15 in 2009 to just five last year. If you plan on selecting the Jaguars back, you'll have to monitor his progress in camp.
10) Darren McFadden, OAK
- McFadden exploded into the star running back we've been expecting since he was selected fourth overall in 2008 NFL Draft. He rushed 223 times for 1,157 yards and caught 47 balls for 507 yards. Twice last year, McFadden posted 50-plus fantasy points in a week. He's clearly become the Raiders No. 1 back, and the fractured orbital bone that will keep him out of practice for two weeks won't change the situation. In fact, the time off might help the injury-prone back by saving wear and tear on his legs.

β3-Adrenergic receptor gene polymorphism and type 2 diabetes in a Caucasian population
Oeveren van-Dybicz, A.M. and Vonkeman, H.E. and Bon, M.A.M. and Bergh, F.A.J.T.M. van den and Vermes, I. (2008) β3-Adrenergic receptor gene polymorphism and type 2 diabetes in a Caucasian population. Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, 3 (1). pp. 47-51. ISSN 1462-8902
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy 72kB |
Abstract: | Aim: The β3-adrenergic receptor (β3-AR) is suspected to play a key role in the regulation of energy balance by increasing lipolysis and thermogenesis. A mutation in the β3-AR gene (Trp64Arg) has been associated with the capacity of weight gain and with early onset of noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus (type 2 diabetes). In this study we investigated the prevalence of the two β3-AR alleles in a Caucasian population and studied the association between the β3-AR genotype and metabolic disorders (obesity and type 2 diabetes). -
Methods: Genomic DNA extracted from peripheral blood leucocytes of 200 Caucasian subjects (137 subjects with and 63 subjects without type 2 diabetes). The MvaI polymorphism of β3-AR, which detects the Trp64Arg mutation, was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). We studied the correlation between the Trp64Arg mutation and the body mass index (b.m.i. kg/m2). - Results: There was no significant difference between the patients with type 2 diabetes and control subjects in the frequency of the Arg64 allele (5.5% and 4.8%, respectively). Within the group of type 2 diabetes patients were 14 subjects with the Trp64Arg mutation (b.m.i., mean ± s.d.: 31 ± 8.5 kg/m2) and 123 without the mutation (b.m.i. 29 ± 4.8). There was no association between the β3-AR gene polymorphism and sex, obesity, blood pressure, glycohaemoglobin concentration, proteinuria. - Conclusion: Our results suggest that the Trp64Arg mutation is not a major determinant of metabolic disorders (type 2 diabetes, obesity) and chronic complications of type 2 diabetes in a Dutch population |

Linebreeding. Means your dog's sire and dam have dogs they are both related to. So Fado von Karthago appears in the 4th generation on the sire's side and the 5th generation on the mother's side.

I was told it was accidental but that they were planning on breeding them after her next heat. Because she was only 18 months. Gordon just got to her before they had planned. So kind of accidental. From what I know all the other dogs are growing normal. It's just my teeny tiny rogue that is struggling.

Generally speaking, in Florida, a Personal Representative (or Executor) can't take any significant action without a court order. Don't assume however that you *need* "Letters of Administration" to accomplish your goals! Summary Administration might be available as an alternative in many cases.
I AM the Personal Representative…or am I?
You've got the original Last Will and Testament and it declares you as the Personal Representative (or Executor, Administrator). You were the "chosen one", right? It says that so it must be so! Right? Wrong. When a person drafts a Will, they are nominating someone to act as Personal Representative (PR), Executor or Administrator of the estate. Until a probate … Read More

If those are prescriptions then it's illegal to give them to anybody else... you could get into big big troubleposted 10/19/2012 by ChaseCo
thanks I requested to have question deletedposted 10/22/2012 by lateashea
Agreed... Prescription meds are not available over the counter because there are too many or dangerous side effects and/or interactions with other drugs. Only a medical doctor can determine whether or not a prescription medicine is safe for a particular individual. I would either keep them or return them to the pharmacy. It's recommended that you don't throw them away (other people might find them and take them), or flush them down the toilet (they might contaminate the water supply.) Your intentions are good, but unfortunately it's illegal.posted 10/19/2012 by neneface

Buddhism: Theravada Buddhism
Theravada Buddhism comes from the teachings of the Buddha, who lived in the fifth century B.C.E. The Theravada (School of the Elders, in the Pali language) is the sole surviving branch of the earliest Buddhism. Its primary emphasis was on monastic life, with the single goal of individual liberation through enlightenment, until the early twentieth century, when it became more widely available. Laypeople are encouraged to practice generosity (dana) and morality (sila) in hopes of a better rebirth with the opportunity for more meditation practice.
The number of Theravadins within the worldwide Buddhist community is difficult to assess since many contemporary Western Buddhists freely incorporate elements of various Buddhist groups in their practice. The Theravada are sometimes pejoratively called the Hinayana (Lesser, or Smaller, Vehicle) by other branches of Buddhism. Its disparagers see it as a teaching for only an elite few...

Take any rectangle ABCD such that AB > BC. The point P is on AB and Q is on CD. Show that there is exactly one position of P and Q such that APCQ is a rhombus.
Can you convince me of each of the following: If a square number is multiplied by a square number the product is ALWAYS a square number...
If you take two tests and get a marks out of a maximum b in the first and c marks out of d in the second, does the mediant (a+c)/(b+d)lie between the results for the two tests separately.
Some diagrammatic 'proofs' of algebraic identities and inequalities.
This follows up the 'magic Squares for Special Occasions' article which tells you you to create a 4by4 magicsquare with a special date on the top line using no negative numbers and no repeats.
Imagine two identical cylindrical pipes meeting at right angles and think about the shape of the space which belongs to both pipes. Early Chinese mathematicians call this shape the mouhefanggai.
Peter Zimmerman from Mill Hill County High School in Barnet, London gives a neat proof that: 5^(2n+1) + 11^(2n+1) + 17^(2n+1) is divisible by 33 for every non negative integer n.
Suppose A always beats B and B always beats C, then would you expect A to beat C? Not always! What seems obvious is not always true. Results always need to be proved in mathematics.
The first of five articles concentrating on whole number dynamics, ideas of general dynamical systems are introduced and seen in concrete cases.
This article extends the discussions in "Whole number dynamics I". Continuing the proof that, for all starting points, the Happy Number sequence goes into a loop or homes in on a fixed point.
In this third of five articles we prove that whatever whole number we start with for the Happy Number sequence we will always end up with some set of numbers being repeated over and over again.
This article looks at knight's moves on a chess board and introduces you to the idea of vectors and vector addition.
When if ever do you get the right answer if you add two fractions by adding the numerators and adding the denominators?
This is the second article on right-angled triangles whose edge lengths are whole numbers.
Take any prime number greater than 3 , square it and subtract one. Working on the building blocks will help you to explain what is special about your results.
A point moves around inside a rectangle. What are the least and the greatest values of the sum of the squares of the distances from the vertices?
The first of two articles on Pythagorean Triples which asks how many right angled triangles can you find with the lengths of each side exactly a whole number measurement. Try it!
Follow the hints and prove Pick's Theorem.
Start with any whole number N, write N as a multiple of 10 plus a remainder R and produce a new whole number N'. Repeat. What happens?
The final of five articles which containe the proof of why the sequence introduced in article IV either reaches the fixed point 0 or the sequence enters a repeating cycle of four values.
Take a number, add its digits then multiply the digits together, then multiply these two results. If you get the same number it is an SP number.
Peter Zimmerman, a Year 13 student at Mill Hill County High School in Barnet, London wrote this account of modulus arithmetic.
An account of methods for finding whether or not a number can be written as the sum of two or more squares or as the sum of two or more cubes.
The diagram shows a regular pentagon with sides of unit length. Find all the angles in the diagram. Prove that the quadrilateral shown in red is a rhombus.
An article which gives an account of some properties of magic squares.
This article discusses how every Pythagorean triple (a, b, c) can be illustrated by a square and an L shape within another square. You are invited to find some triples for yourself.
Take a complicated fraction with the product of five quartics top and bottom and reduce this to a whole number. This is a numerical example involving some clever algebra.
Solve this famous unsolved problem and win a prize. Take a positive integer N. If even, divide by 2; if odd, multiply by 3 and add 1. Iterate. Prove that the sequence always goes to 4,2,1,4,2,1...
Some puzzles requiring no knowledge of knot theory, just a careful inspection of the patterns. A glimpse of the classification of knots and a little about prime knots, crossing numbers and. . . .
