A fighter vs A talker, who do you want to be your president? Obama as the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee didn't do what he supposed to do to protect the Americans showed that he is inexperience. With the authority given he failed to act, showed that he is a great talker but don't know how to work – This shows his weakness of lack of experience. Too risky to hand him the whole nation.
I'm so sick of hearing that Hillary thinks she is the one who can solve problems. If people wanted to vote based on experience in 1992, shouldn't they have chosen an incumbent president, two-term vice-president, former director of CIA and winner of first Persian Gulf war over a young governor of a (no offense) unimportant state?
Vision, discernment, inspiration and learning are much important features of a leader than experience. George W Bush is not poor leader because he was inexperienced. He is now been president for 7 year and he is still no better. He was and is a poor leader because he doesn't learn from mistakes, is strong headed and thinks that he is on a celestial mission to be president. This remind of somebody oh yes: HILLARY RODHAM...
If Obama narrowly wins in TX, and keeps it competitive in OH, Hillary is done. It's just math, folks. The supers will back the winner, they don't want the heat of all of Obama's supporters crying foul and taking to the streets. It will cost them their jobs, trust this. After Tues. the writing will be on the wall, and Hillary can go back to her job in the Senate and actually attempt to work for her paycheck, like the rest of us do!
It will be double digits in all the States. Lets' not kid ourselves anymore, Hillary has set the woman for President thing back at least 20 years. A sniper, whiner, decietful, poor loser. Thats it.
1) Hillary will NOT disclose her tax returns, Why Not? What financial sources are behind the $5M that was loaned to her campaign?
2) What is Bill going to do in the White House?
3) Don't forget White Water and the other past issues that Republicans will raise.
These unanswerd questions and issues are a large cloud over Hillary's quest for the presidency.
Obama in '08
I love how many are posting about voting for Clinton out of fear. If you are afraid why get out of bed in the morning? If you are afraid why go to sleep at night? If you are afraid why even step one foot out of the door? Welcome to the rest of your life, being afraid and unable to move.
this is the kind of headlines gets the brainless people to go behind the herds !
She needs to win Texas and Ohio by 65% to stay in the race...not just "win" them.
Math doesn't support her campaign. Unless she trounces him, she isn't going to make up the huge number of pledged delegates that he has. If they split the state, he is still the winner because he still has 150 more delegates.
Its easier to pick on Hillary past , her voting , what she has done or not done simply because she has been around . Its her experience that makes an easy target . Obama does not really have a past so what could you point to. What could you pick on .?
Why isn't the margin of error included? Would that characterize this as a statistical dead heat?
Don't let the media elect our next president!
Where's the story of a poll showing Hillary up by 4 in Texas and another shows her up by 3. Oh that's right this a CNN our boy Obama headline. Sorry I forgot. Have to go elsewhere to find a positive Hillary story.
Did Obama take the lead in the last hour? Wasn't cnn's headline something along the lines of "Race tight in Texas" about an hour ago. Any reason for the change, other than to make Obama look good. I am a lifelong Democrat, but cnn is way over the top with this guy.
I just broke up with my girlfriend because she supports Obama. She kept talking about HOPE and CHANGE. She sounded like a zombie.

Obama is winning the popular vote...even if you include Michigan and Florida.
And Obama's numbers continue to rise..they are not dropping in the least.
they are not even in texas hillary is in from this is the media , the love for obama.....
Clinton is very bad news!
the Democrates are bad news!
if you want more government, and less personal choice then vote democratic....Otherwise you MUST vote the GOP....
it's your life, your choice!!!!
Enough of rhetorics and more of solutions! Sen. Clinton has the knowledge, determination and experience to tackle the numerous problems facing our country. Sen. Obama started planning his run for the Presidency on the first day he was elected in the Senate – no wonder he is not able to convene his Foreign Relations sub-committee – too busy laying out the ground for the highest position in the country. He should have relinquished that position to someone capable of doing it – but then, it looks good in his resume. All fluff!
Although some might like Hillary....consider her track record...oh, that's right she hasn't released those documents yet...not until after TX and OH.
USA: Turn out in droves to vote. Cast your vote for Obama. He's the one that can turn this train wreck of a country around. America, listen! Take it to the streets! This is your campain...VOTE! Let's have a nominee and focus on making sure a democrat is in office next year! Have hope! This will happen and Barack Obama is the man to lead us there! He doesn't do dirty red tape politics...Hillary does. Vote OBAMA!
Obama 08!
Diplomacy! What a great new idea! "Never negotiate in fear, and never fear to negotiate." The arrogant stand Bush has taken with world leaders has left the US disliked and disrespected around the world. Meeting with other world leaders is a great step toward better understanding among nations and a good first step to better foreign relations. Just because Bush, Clinton, and McCain disagree with Obama, doesn't make him wrong. They appear to be wrong on most issues according to polls and public opinion. Barack Obama is filled with brave, intelligent, hopeful new ideas and strategies. Refreshing!
I love CNN. One moment they are in a tight race and another headline Obama is in the lead. Why are they sending misleading headlines? Plus those polls suck. Half the time they are wrong. They change more than we change our underwear. It will never be 100% until voting day and the votes are counted. It is just a way to have a story wo there being news.
I cant believe that people keep saying that Hillary has more experience than Obama...hello!!!! They have been Senators for the same time and Obama served in the Illinois Senatae before that. Obama has more experience in office than Hillary does. Just because you are a first lady does not mean that you can be President. Heck, my brother is a pilot, but that does not meant that I will jump in the cockpit with his wife...Clinton should stay home and keep an eye on her cheating husband. She can't even controll her campaing, what do you think she'll do if she was to get elected...
on February 12,2008 Tuesday Clinton was no where near Washington D.C. where senator Obama and Senator Mc Clain

More than 360,000 customers remain without power as the Piedmont of North Carolina thaws out from a late winter storm.
Duke Energy reported 282,000 of its customers were without power Saturday after snow, sleet and up to a half-inch of ice fell in the Piedmont over the past two days. The utility reports over three-quarters of the people it serves in Alamance, Davidson and Randolph counties don't have electricity.
North Carolina's energy cooperatives reported more than 62,000 outages and EnergyUnited reported about 17,000 of its customers didn't have electricity.
Utilities are still trying to access damage, but say some people will be without power through next week.
Temperatures dropped below freezing Saturday morning, creating slick spots. But forecasters say highs in the 60s this weekend should thaw things out.

Make your home the envy of your neighborhood with the sophistication of the INSTEON ToggleLinc Dimmer. In just minutes you can install a ToggleLinc Dimmer switch, link it to an INSTEON controller and be remotely controlling your lights from anywhere.
The Most Advanced Toggle Dimmer
You can also link your new ToggleLinc Dimmer to other INSTEON-compatible switches or controllers to create a variety of light scenes with just the touch of a button. There is no need to rewire your home; just spend a few seconds setting up scenes for "Home," "Dinner" or "Night Time," and your ToggleLinc will automatically adjust the lights you selected to your pre-defined settings. With the ToggleLinc Dimmer's remote control ability, you can have the convenience of adding a bedside controller to turn off your lights after you get into bed. Never come home to a dark house again: Install a INSTEON Hub to schedule your ToggleLinc dimmer or any INSTEON-compatible device to turn on or off at any specific time or even at sunrise and sunset. The ToggleLinc dimmer can control up to a 600-watt load. Note: anytime INSTEON ToggleLinc Dimmers are placed directly adjacent to one another, you must subtract 200 watts of capacity from each dimmer. If three dimmers are adjacent to one another, then 400 watts must be subtracted from the capacity of the center dimmer.
If you need a non-dimmable switch to control fluorescent lights, electronic ballasts, halogen lamps and low-voltage lighting transformers, use either the INSTEON ToggleLinc Relay (Non-Dimming), White, or INSTEON ToggleLinc Relay (Non-Dimming), Ivory. A INSTEON ToggleLinc Dimmer, Ivory is also available.
View our Video:
Scene Lighting - Change the Lighting to Match Your Mood
Use this switch like any other dimmer to create the perfect on-level with one light, or save your settings to remember pre-determined lighting and fade rates. Push this toggle switch on once for a softly lit glow in the middle of the night or push it on twice for full lighting at dusk.
True Toggle Action with Beautiful, High Quality Construction
The INSTEON ToggleLinc Dimmer offers the natural feel of high-end switches: flip up to turn lights on, flip down to turn lights off. You'll also love the crisp, tactile response with each flip, instead of the mushy feeling of other brands. The ToggleLinc is designed and manufactured to ISO9002 specifications and goes through over 10 quality control tests. You'll thank yourself for choosing this premium quality product.
Easy To Install
The INSTEON ToggleLinc Dimmer is so easy to install and set up and yet so affordable, you'll want to replace all of your switches with ToggleLinc Dimmers. Just remove the old switch, reattach the line, load, and ground wires with the addition of the neutral wire using the included wire nuts, and you're done.
Brightness Levels
Adjust the brightness level of your light locally by pushing and holding the ToggleLinc Dimmer in the on position. Use the brightness levels to create just the right amount of lighting for your mood. From the toggle switch you can preset up to 32 brightness levels, or program in one-percent increments using software. The white status LED indicates the current status of the light being controlled. When the ToggleLinc Dimmer is turned off, the white LED illuminates to help with finding the switch in the dark.
Adjustable Ramp Rate
You can adjust the speed at which the controlled light turns on or off, also known as the ramp rate. For example, you may want the light in the stairwell to turn on instantly so you can see where you're walking, or you may want the light in the master bathroom to ramp up in a soft, gentle fashion so you're not blinded in the middle of the night. The ramp rate is adjustable between 0.1 seconds and 9 seconds if programmed locally and can extend up to 8 minutes when using software.
Create Multi-Way Circuits
Do you have two or three switches that you wish could all control the same light? The ToggleLinc Dimmer allows you to customize your lighting scenes without rewiring your home. These complicated lighting circuits are made simple using INSTEON technology because you won't need to use traveler wires to create the electrical connections.
First replace all of the switches you want to include in the circuit with toggles. The primary dimmer must be connected to the standard wires: load, line, neutral, and ground. The secondary dimmers only need to be connected to line, neutral, and ground. Since no traveler wires are needed, it is easy to place a dimmer wherever you need it. Finally, cross-link all of the secondary dimmers to the primary dimmer for a flexible, fully functional multi-way circuit.
Non-Volatile Memory
All INSTEON ToggleLinc Dimmer settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are not lost during power failures. Additionally, in the event of a power loss, the ToggleLinc Dimmer will return to its last brightness level when power is restored.
Need a Wall Plate?
Be sure to order a wall plate for each ToggleLinc dimmer.

Review of 2466dw
Rating Switched from X10 to Insteon and very happy so far. The scenes setup (while slow to load on the iPhone) do seem to be much more reliable than X10's. I have 40+ devices 3 of which I've now had to factory reset twice since they've been installed about two months ago. Not sure if it's power outages, line interference or the devices. Called Technical Support for guidance and was on hold for about 40 minutes then the call was disconnected.

Rating No where in the item description does it suggest this product may not work if you need RF to communicate between devices. Also, why does SM not produce a toggle dimmer with dual band? The RF version only comes in decora, which does not match the other switches in my house.

Rating I prefer the switchlinc more, but due to the place it was going to be installed, I had to go with the toggle. The toggle works fine, but it just feels like it's broken based on how it was designed.

10/04/04 The Buzz
Unless someone out there has been doing a really good job of keeping a major announcement quiet, I predict the buzz at this year�s NAB convention will be about Clear Channel�s �Less is More� initiative.
Will it catch on? Will it hurt the industry? Is it a Wall Street ploy? Will John Hogan lose his job over it? You�ll probably hear the rumor that Mark and Randall �slipped this one past Lowry while he was in the hospital.� Sadly, much of the buzz will come from radio�s ever-present drones explaining all the reasons �it can�t work.�
Every good thing is met with resistance; Less is More will be no different. The unimaginative, the cowardly, the backward and the small will cry out for solidarity against �the oppression of Cheap Channel, the evil empire.� How they think they�re being oppressed I don�t really know, but they can always spin it somehow.
A number of months ago, I wrote an editorial suggesting that we reinvent they way we sell and place commercials so that we:
1. reduce cluster lengths to keep people listening,
2. give advertisers a more favorable environment,
3. sell premium waterfront real estate by making the first spot in the break the most expensive, and
4. re-evaluate why :30s and :60s are priced the same.
Frankly, I think we should abolish :60s altogether and make most of our inventory :15s, especially if you believe, as I do, that Radio is a branding medium. A cluster of :15s sure beats a cluster of :60s and :30s. But it�s never going to happen if Radio backs away from John Hogan and leaves him to fight this battle alone.
John Hogan founded the �Less is More� initiative, and he had to sell it in every direction. So far, he�s been met with tremendous resistance from his own managers, who understand how hard it will be to do. If the initiative fails and the numbers go in reverse, we�ve probably seen the last of John Hogan. And that would be a shame.
Less is More is bigger than Clear Channel. It needs a commitment from all of radio.
The only issue I take with Clear Channel on this initiative is that it�s expecting too much too soon. Less is More is the right idea. It will work; it will change the industry and will powerfully benefit radio�s advertisers. But can it work in 2005? I doubt it. Clear Channel�s board may or may not see the results they need to see within the timeframe they consider to be reasonable. I hope they will be patient. Less is More will work, but it�s clearly a three-year, not a one-year, initiative.
If someone other than Clear Channel had introduced Less is More, the other groups would have immediately jumped on board, and the buzz at this year�s NAB would have been whether or not Clear Channel would commit to it.
Reader friend, we�ve known each other a long time, so I hope you�ll forgive me for asking what needs to be asked: Are you big enough to get past the fact that �your enemy� was the one who suggested this?

The Buffalo - Erie Canal Foundation
Excerpted from the Appendix to Cadwallader D. Colden's 1825 Memoir on New York State's Canals.
and wealth to our Republic--a pattern for our Sister States to imitate--an exhibition of the moral force of a free and enlightened people to the world." Mr. H., at the conclusion of his Address, paid a tribute to "the projectors who devised, the statesmen who assumed the responsibility of the undertaking, at the hazard of their reputation, the legislators who granted the supplies, the commissioners who planned, the engineers who laid out, and the men who have executed this magnificent work;"--their memories are commended to posterity. To this Address a suitable reply was made by Oliver Forward, Esq. in behalf of the citizens of Buffalo.
Every thing being prepared. the signal was given, and the discharge of a thirty-two pounder from the brow of the terrace announced that all was in readiness, and the boats under way! The Seneca Chief, of Buffalo, led off in fine style, drawn by four grey horses, fancifully caparisoned, and was followed by the Superior, next to which came the Commodore Perry, a freight boat; and the rear was brought up by the Buffalo, of Erie. The whole moved from the dock under a discharge of small arms from the Rifle Company, with music from the band, and the loud and reiterated cheers from the throng on the shore, which were returned by the companies on board the various boats. The salute of artillery was continued along from gun to gun, in rapid succession, agreeably to previous arrangements; and, in the short space of one hour and twenty minutes, the joyful intelligence was proclaimed to our citizens.
The news having been communicated in the same manner to Sandy Hook, and notice of its reception returned to the City, the return salute was commenced at Fort La Fayette, by a national salute, at twenty-two minutes past eleven o'clock. After the national salute from that fortress, at thirty minutes past eleven o'clock, a repeating gun was fired from Fort Richmond, and followed at Governor's Island and the Battery, at thirty-one minutes past eleven o'clock, A. M; and the sounds of our rejoicing were then sent roaring and echoing along the mountains and among the Highlands, back to Buffalo, where the answer was received in about the same time occupied by the sound in travelling to the Ocean. Meantime, at Buffalo, the festivities proceeded. The boats having departed, the procession returned to the Court House, where a finished Address was delivered by Sheldon Smith, Esq., after which an original Ode, written for the occasion, was sung to the time of "Hail Columbia." A public dinner succeeded; and the festivities of the day were closed by a splendid Ball, at the Eagle Tavern, where beauty, vieing conspicuously with elegance and wit, contributed to the enlivening enjoyment of the scene.
Drawn from nature and lithographed by George Catlin, Esq.

Heck if the owner in Mexico wanted he could take all his pesos ticket sales money and convert it to pounds. You aren't stuck with what you started with.
I understand arguments like crime, better sales for suites, where more TV revenue would result, etc. but I don't see currency as a stumbling block for either.
I agree that it's not just players and owners. It's the citizens of the city/country the franchise is located in. You want a team that is on firm financial footing and whose fans will have the constant income to support their team. What is the owner of Mexico's team going to do though when he tries to convert his pesos ticket sales money and only gets half the revenue he would have the year before? Or when their economy craters and no one can afford to buy t-shirts or tickets anymore? A stable economy helps pro teams immensely. That's why teams struggled in Detroit for so long and why the Bills are threatening to leave. There's a reason that American owners from the Glazers to Khan to the Red Sox also own EPL teams rather than teams in Mexico's top league. We don't see many owners that own pro teams in Mexico and America (I can only think of Chivas and Chivas USA in the MLS). And the Mexican teams don't have nearly as solid of a financial footing as teams in England.
I also think that the main factor is going to be TV revenue. The NFL has much smaller potential growth in tv revenue in the states. The opportunity for growth is all overseas -- and Europe has far more disposable income than Latin America.

I've noticed that people get that 'look' in their eyes whenever I start talking lately. Since starting McDougalling a month or so ago, I've been pretty evangelistic about that, telling everyone how good I feel, etc. Now that I have my new pc it's worse. I don't talk any more, since no one seems as interested as I am in all of this. I don't know what's wrong with them! I wonder if the fact that the people I associate with are all farmers or friends of farmers and raise beef and dairy cattle has *anything* to do with that 'look' in their eyes? LOL! I did have someone offer me a sack of oats, though.

Strange for such a company to discriminate against those they say they are to help... but that's for another crazy day on another crazy channel...
Throtailer - I have heard of Riven Phoenix and his method and seen some of his earlier stuff when it was on YouTube... It seems reminiscent of Loomis' method of building a figure... I'll check it out further though...
StarbonesCoffin - Thanks, I will!
Smartkyle - It does help doesn't it! I do have some India ink left somewhere and I do need to use it up before it goes bad... maybe I'll have something interesting later on...
Ubar 303 - Thanks man!
Now for what I did so far...
I couldn't finish up the COW... but this is how far it got... I think that stress is the epiphany of evil...
Some more anatomy studies...
Workin the memory up a bit...
And now for something different...
And this weeks current study... All about the hand... He who controls the hand controls it all...
That's it for now.... I'm off to sketch some more.
September 6th, 2007 #93again, some very solid anatomy studies, great stuff. Nice start on some skulls but i tihnk they still need some work. Kool creature sheet aswell, you play final fantasy? i recognise some of the creatures thats all.

September 10th, 2007 #94Hey Smartkyle... Yeah, I've tackled nearly all of 'em... I think the Ahriman and Leviathan are about the only ones that I conciously drew on that sheet... (I feel white and nerdy...) About the skulls... I need to do a refresher course after I finish dishin myself some legs...
But for now... A whole bunch of hands...
This page is using Mentler's 'Eye Cube' Measurement...

First the studies...
And now the sketches
October 13th, 2007 #99MAN! Your studies are amazing!!
I never can grasp the simple study... I don't know why lol.
For sure keep up the good work and maybe one day we'll have to get on sketcher and you'll have to school me lol!
Also, awesome CoW! As you saw I was in a half-assed attempt to join in on that EoW you were in, but it just didn't work out. I also tried for ChOW but that didn't work out either UGGHH /sigh lol
Anyways, keep up the good work and I hope to see you around and see more!

October 25th, 2007 #100I love the anatomy work you are doing
November 14th, 2007 #101It's been a while... Been busy workin the bottega...
Malakai - I did see your attempt, it looked promising. I hope to see ya at the Sketcher.
Imperfection - Thanks dude.
Heres the average majority of the work that I've been doing recently...
Some practical concept art (c) Shawn D.
As I said earlier, I've been workin the bottega @ TSoFA. I'm rather glad to have this class, not to mention that it's free.
Here is a few pages from what I've done at the bottega...
Most of these are control exersises for learning hand positions and making use of the full arm...

Good idea those control excersizes. I was looking for new methods then drawing eclipses and long strokes. Good luck with that.
December 26th, 2007 #103Another year almost gone... I feel a bit satisfied with myself for this year... Could be better, could be alot worse. The main thing is that I've at least tried to sketch and draw daily for 365 days (give or take a few days off to clean up 'round the house) The main thing is that I feel is that I've improved substatially since over a year back and still have more to go.
-- Whitevillage --
It's all about control dude!
These exersizes are meant to help teach the basics of drawing, to put it bluntly, Each one compliments the next. The earlier line exersizes help in improving Linear quality for both straight and curved lines as well as different ways to use the drawing tool... (The main thing is that noone should draw as they write) , then put into the maze that helps with hand/eye co-ordination and let the foundation settle some more.
This continues on into learning how to draw a proper "cube" that is right in front of you... This could be simply put as going from point to line, line to plane...
And plane to form...
Because a line is only an edge of a plane and a plane is only a facet of a form:
One of the ultimate goals of a good draughtsman (should be) is to create and understand how to create the illusion of form in space to a degree that someone will automatically recognize it as it is without having to guess. At least that is my belief.
I wish everyone here a merry christmas, happy quanza, or a joyful whatevath'hellyacelebrate, and a not too hungover new year.
January 10th, 2008 #104Fantastic set of drills in the last post! really great stuff for warming up or doing 'scales'.
I think your figures are starting to lean abit too much to a geometric construction. Perhaps the next step is to sculpt the figure on paper with clumps of shapes? Maybe that doesn't make sense, but i think you've nailed geometric construction and its time to move onto masses etc. ?

January 10th, 2008 #105I see what you mean there Kyle, treating the medium more or less like paint and letting the values describe form. I do want to try that but I'm still workin the Bottega with Mentler and I really want to continue on because he is slowly unlocking his methods ( I think that he's using it as a subtext for his Book of Bones project)
Don't worry, I'll be working with some tones soon enough, but to do just tones without recognizing the importance of the geometry to it makes it so that the tones just won't look right.
But until then.., some more boxes in 2 point and empirical perspective... (mind you my scanner died and I had to take pictures...)

January 18th, 2008 #107Wow, Ive so gotta start drawing more!
The studies of the arms and legs are amazing, where do you find reference for something like that?
I really like your figure studies too, the thumbnail of the two fighting is awesome!
Id say keep it up but somehow I get the feeling you will anyway

February 18th, 2008 #111Wow thanks for the responces!
Thanks y'all...
Carbono - I think that art is more than just anatomy, there is still the understanding of form in space which is why I chose to join Mentler's Bottega, With that understanding you can change what looks like a human form into a statue in the midst of a jungle and further change it into something more bizarre. Understanding anatomy is very useful for understanding the function of the form and thus helps understand the form even more.
MattLloyd- Thanks dude, I got the reference for those from Louise Gordon's "The Human Figure, An Anatomical Approach," I also use Hogarth's books and some Bammes... although I can't read a lick of german.
Kyle - If marker rendering is anything like brush ink rendering (see below) then I think I would have to give it a crack sometime soon.
Malakai - Cool dude, I'll have to get on the sketcher then sometime soon. Hopefully it won't be full of little brats that don't have anything better to do... makes me wanna
Now for the works that have been done as of late... Sorry though I still haven't got a scanner yet... Soon though I hope to get one working...
February 26th, 2008 #112some nice warm up style stuff as usual.. Looking through im starting to see a direction appear Ever thought of product design?
Marker rendering allows consistent application of tone with the right set (no streaks, same value). Check out Feng Zhu's older work, he used to use them before a switch to digital and they were amazing.

Sorry Malakai, mostly been workin and drawin, trying to work out someway of moving too so my schedual has been rather full...
But for the most part I've been workin more around the bottega trying to get a handle on some of the methods that he uses.
And I still try to do something a bit different....

Wormwood (Artemisia annua)
Habitual large doses of wormwood can cause a range of undesirable effects. These may include restlessness, insomnia, nightmares, vomiting, abdominal pains, dizziness, tremors, convulsions and urinary tract disfunction.
Thujone's toxicity can cause various effects as the amount of wormwood consumed increases, including seizures, delerium and hallucinations in extreme cases. Some researchers believe that thujone's mind altering effects are similar to THC in marijuana (4).

Also, keep in mind, it's relatively easy to extract the artemisinin compound from wormwood, if the toxic effects bother you. It's the artemisinin specifically that attacks and kills the cancerous cells, not wormwood as a whole.
The upcoming NIH study regarding artemisinin's curative effects with malaria are going to be using pure artemisinin, and not whole wormwood containing the artemisinin compound. This upcoming study will also prove if pure artemisinin is toxic to the body or not. So far, it's believed that pure artemisinin is completely non-toxic. The NIH study will provide hard medical evidence supporting or disproving that claim.

I didn't see any real inside fighting from Garcia. Salido was starting to get there. There's a reason the fight was scheduled for 12. Orlando hadn't been down since the 4th and seemed to be doing progressively better each round. I think they took the easy way out, whether they would have won or not by continuing to fight.
I was impressed by Garcia's skills, but I thought the KD's were more flash than anything. He wasn't seriously hurt. He came back and fought his ass off like he always does. I'm not going to say Salido would have won in the next 1/3 of the fight, but I also wouldn't count him out. His ability to turn the tables is what makes him special. |

That headbutt was stupid. It set up the situation that stopped the fight. Thats on Salido. I can't blame the other corner for protecting their fighter to the best of their ability....it is a sport. I mean seriously....Garcia's corner isn't stupid.... if another crack is desired then a rematch is made, Salido can watch his head and maybe the fight will go to the later rounds

IDK how people can keep defending the stoppage. A few months ago 90% of guys here on boxingscene were crucifying Ortiz for not going on with a broken jaw. Now García can't continue with a broken nose and guys are defending him. Double standards.
Oh, and if most guys here think a broken nose is enough to stop a fight, then they should stop boxing at all since cuts, bruises and broken bones are part of the sport. I don't like it, I want every boxer to get out of the ring with their health, but the truth is that injuries happen and all boxers know it. If a broken nose is enough to stop a fight, then we're going to stop seeing warriors like Gatti, Ward, Corrales or Salido. Next time just ask for the doctor, say you have a broken nose and stop the fight. |

Formerly Yumeshojo. BLANKET DISCLAIMER: Because sometimes I forget to post individual disclaimers with each story. It's safe to say that any story I post here is based of characters, series, plots, and/or worlds that are not mine, and I am making no profit off of them. These stories are for the enjoyment of myself and others, and to practice my writing so that some day I will be talented enough to create and publish worlds of my own. I extend my thanks and respect to all the original creators to anything I post herein, and hope they know how much I appreciate them and intend no disrespect with my stories. That is all. I love to write and I want to be a novelist, so constructive criticism, reviews, and praise are all welcome--as are ideas that maybe you want something to happen. While I mostly write oneshots, I've started a few series. I try my best, but I'm pretty irregular in my updates. Pester me, and I'll probably go faster, but otherwise I work at my leisure. Unless specifically marked "complete" (and, honestly, sometimes even then--I have a bad habit of doing unplanned sequels...) all series are ongoing. I would also like to warn you ahead of time that I tend to use OCs in everything, unless otherwise stated. I do not write smut. For those of you who are interested, I have a Tumblr blog by the same name. It's mostly fandom pictures, feminism, and humor, but every once in a while a fanfic or drabble pops up. Since this site doesn't allow second-person perspective in stories, I post them on Tumblr instead under the "my writing" tag. Current Projects (02/21/15) Losing the Wonder - Plot outline done; next chapter in the works. NEW Of Death and Discovery - Chapter halfway done. Where Family Begins - Probably abandoned. Hurtful & Helpless - On semi-permanent hiatus, but entire series plotline is done and thus will be wrote eventually. HM: MFoMT - Probably abandoned as well, as I'm not sure where I was going with this anymore... Origins - Probably abandoned number three. War Torn - Probably abandoned number four. This is what happens when I write things without thinking of a plot first... Update (02/21/15) Because I just couldn't get over the bump in the next chapter of Losing the Wonder, I threw out that plot point and am moving on. Hopefully, that means I'll actually accomplish something and get a new chapter up soon. Sorry I'm slower than dirt, guys! Also, I got bored and started an Oblivion fanfiction that's been in my head for some years (almost since I bought the game). I know, I'm terrible, I shouldn't have started a new fic when I haven't finished . . . well, anything, really. But I might post it soon when I'm sure I'm happy with it. It's gonna be LONG--it's four chapters and already over thirty-four pages so far. |

Finally, we are experiencing a little bit of autumn around here. The weather is a little cooler, and the trees are bursting with reds and golds. Samhain/Hallowe'en are just around the corner. It's time to look to the ending of the year, to honor our pasts, and toast the dead. To celebrate, I am hosting a giveaway.
Kat of EmKat Creations has offered up a Samhain Ancestors Blessing Spell kit for the prize. I think this is a lovely way to connect the past, present ,and future on Samhain.
Unlike past giveaways that I've hosted, this time I'm trying out Rafflecopter as a tool to make giveaways run a little more smoothly. I hope that this will make life easier on everyone. There are several options for extra entries, which I think makes it better worth your time to enter. Thanks!

Home Brain Research: Scientists Unveil the 'Face' of a New Memory |
Scientists Unveil the 'Face' of a New Memory
A century-old dream of neuroscientists to visualize a memory has been fulfilled, as University of California, Irvine researchers, using newly developing microscopic techniques, have captured first-time images of the changes in brain cell connections following a common form of learning. Detailed in the Journal of Neuroscience, the study shows that synaptic connections in a region of rats' brains critical to learning change shape when the rodents learn to navigate a new, complex environment. In turn, when drugs are administered that block these changes, the rats don't learn, confirming the essential role the shape change plays in the production of stable memory. "This is the first time anyone has seen the physical substrate, the 'face,' of newly encoded memory. We have cleared a hurdle that once seemed insurmountable," said Gary Lynch, professor of psychiatry and human behavior at UC Irvine and leader of one of the two research teams involved in the studies. The new behavioral experiments followed a series of recent discoveries by the UC Irvine group concerning the synaptic changes responsible for long-term potentiation (LTP), a physiological effect closely related to memory storage. Those studies used brain slices from rats, maintained alive in experimental chambers, to identify chemical markers for synapses that had recently experienced the LTP effect. The new study used live animals. Working with advanced microscopic techniques called restorative deconvolution microscopy, the UC Irvine team found that the LTP-related markers appear during learning and are associated with expanded synapses in the hippocampus. Because the size of a synapse relates to its effectiveness in transmitting messages between neurons, the new results indicate that learning improves communication between particular groups of brain cells. The findings open the way for one of the great objectives of the life sciences: mapping the distribution of memory across brain regions. The quest for the location of memory traces, or "engrams" as they are often called, preoccupied researchers for much of the 20th century but failed because there was no way to tag synapses modified by recent learning. The new results from the UC Irvine studies remove this obstacle. UC Irvine researchers will shortly set up a consortium of laboratories directed at producing the first maps of memory. |

Angeles National Forest
Angeles National Forest Overview
If any town in America needs a national forest on its fringes, it is Los Angeles. The San Gabriel Mountains of the Angeles National Forest rise up and out of the LA basin, creating a sanctuary for seekers of solitude and outdoor adventure. No doubt Southern California conjures beaches and bikinis, not rugged mountain hiking, but we're telling you, it's here. Rocky ridges with steep drop-offs like Devil's Backbone ought to put the fear of the devil in you. And check out these elevations: Pine Mountain (9,648 feet), Dawson Peak, (9,575 feet) and San Antonio, also-know-as Mt. Baldy, (10,064 feet). Don't get us wrong, there's easy hiking here as well. We just want you to know that you can test your mettle too.
You can wander through a rare grove of ancient limber pines near the summit of Mt. Baden-Powell. These small- to medium-sized pine trees bear purple cones and are found only above 7,5000 feet. Some of the specimens are over 2,000 years old. Elsewhere, lodgepole, Jeffrey, and sugar pine predominate. At lower elevations, you will find dense chaparral and oak.

you are correct in many aspects of the series, and as for the whole DBGT series.
I found that it does not give justice to the Dragon ball universe, sure it is glitzy and such. but I hate the fact that it is the only series in which Goku can transform into super sayian 4. but my biggest issue is that the whole series ends when Goku defeats the seven dragons, and by doing so, absorbs the dragon balls so they are not used by evil or good again.

Recommendations for vitamin C intake are under revision by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Sciences. Since 1989 when the last recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of 60 mg was published, extensive biochemical, molecular, epidemiologic, and clinical data have become available. New recommendations can be based on the following 9 criteria: dietary availability, steady-state concentrations in plasma in relationship to dose, steady-state concentrations in tissues in relationship to dose, bioavailability, urine excretion, adverse effects, biochemical and molecular function in relationship to vitamin concentration, direct beneficial effects and epidemiologic observations in relationship to dose, and prevention of deficiency. We applied these criteria to the Food and Nutrition Board's new guidelines, the Dietary Reference Intakes, which include 4 reference values. The estimated average requirement (EAR) is the amount of nutrient estimated to meet the requirement of half the healthy individuals in a life-stage and gender group. Based on an EAR of 100 mg/d of vitamin C, the RDA is proposed to be 120 mg/d. If the EAR cannot be determined, an adequate intake (AI) amount is recommended instead of an RDA. The AI was estimated to be either 200 mg/d from 5 servings of fruits and vegetables or 100 mg/d of vitamin C to prevent deficiency with a margin of safety. The final classification, the tolerable upper intake level, is the highest daily level of nutrient intake that does not pose risk or adverse health effects to almost all individuals in the population. This amount is proposed to be less than 1 g of vitamin C daily. Physicians can tell patients that 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day may be beneficial in preventing cancer and providing sufficient vitamin C intake for healthy people, and that 1 g or more of vitamin C may have adverse consequences in some people.

Recently Bob Costas, the noted sports journalist, chastised MSNBC for playing the race card too often when issues might reflect causation by the suggested victims themselves. There were few demands by his interviewer or any others for Mr. Costas to explain his statement.
His remarks could be extended to society at large. Too few of us are actively participating in the decisions that affect our lives until we are critically and directly affected by an issue.
Most of us exist in a state of denial as long as we possess adequate comforts. Mr. Costas might have been alluding to the passivity and lethargy that I see expressed in the African-American community.
Too many of us African Americans refuse to extend help to people who are feeling the pain and brunt of inequalities in all aspects of their lives. Many African-American professionals are a part of the perpetration of injustices against low-income disenfranchised members of their own culture.
Rarely are the well-fed and well-employed giving back to their community as educators, spokespersons, strategists or supporters of endeavors to remove inequities.
Consequently these tasks are ill-performed by too many ill-prepared opportunists seeking celebrity rather than solutions. These people and organizations might or might not represent the views of the majority, but they are the majority of the views being expressed.
African-American churches are no longer a place to address any kind of equity on earth for everyone — with rare exceptions. Many congregations don't want their churches involved in contemporary issues, except for token direct-service projects such as a food bank.
They resist efforts to address equity conditions on earth, here and now. They use the diversity in our community to minimize our relationships and to rationalize inexcusable failures to support each other.
They limit contact between those who feel the pain and those who have the resources to address the issues affecting African Americans. The Obama presidential campaigns offer an example of the African-American potential in sync. Those who seek to block fair voting are well aware of this potential. That is why so much effort and resources are dedicated to resisting voters' rights.
While the aforementioned example might have been what Mr. Costas was referring to, few citizens of any group are as active as they should be.
Wikipedia defines active citizenship as a philosophy espoused by organizations where members or nation states have certain roles and responsibilities to society, although they might not have a direct governing role.
This can be seen in the roles and responsibilities held and executed by its members at every governmental level. These roles might not be written but are nevertheless available to all citizens who might want to exercise them in a democracy.
The problem now is not a question of overuse of these rights and responsibilities, but rather a failure of citizens to fully exercise their responsibilities as citizens.
We need to do more than texting our opinions, satisfactions or dissatisfactions. We must limit the possibility of leaders serving only their own interests instead of their constituents'.
If those who claim to be leaders can't get our issues satisfactorily addressed, then it is our job as active citizens to continue working on them until we are satisfied.
Too many of us refuse to educate ourselves and acknowledge our plight relative to social, health, economic, judicial, ecological, political, economic and safety issues.
As a result, we leave research, analysis, organization, proposals and policies to elected, appointed or hired leaders to act in our behalf without our involvement.
We accept a lack of transparency and accountability regarding issues that might affect us indirectly or even directly. We ignore, separate ourselves and fail to adequately communicate with others at our own peril.
The abdication of our own participation might be our undoing. We must all become comfortable with expressing our will through organized action with as many citizens as possible.

Venofer (iron sucrose injection)
Company: Luitpold PharmaceuticalsApproval Status: Approved November 2000
Treatment for: Iron deficiency anemia in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis
Areas: Hematology; Urology & Kidneys
| General Information | Clinical Results | Side Effects | Mechanism of Action | Additional Information |
General Information
Venofer (iron sucrose injection) is a complex of polynuclear iron (III)-hydroxide in sucrose. It is approved for use in replenishing iron in patients receiving erythropoietin (a hormone that stimulates red blood cell production) and undergoing chronic hemodialysis, which involves filtering the blood in order to remove waste products. In these patients, an iron deficiency is caused by blood loss during the dialysis procedure, increased erythropoiesis (red blood cell production), and insufficient absorption of iron from the gastrointestinal tract. Iron is essential for the synthesis of hemoglobin, which is responsible for the transport of oxygen throughout the body.
Clinical Results
Three trials were conducted to assess the safety and effectiveness of Venofer. Two trials were conducted in the United States and one was conducted in South Africa.
Study A was a multicenter, open-label, historically-controlled trial involving 101 hemodialysis patients (77 patients receiving Venofer and 24 patients in the historical control) with iron deficiency anemia. Venofer 5 mL (one vial) containing 100 mg of elemental iron was administered through the dialysis line at a total of 10 dialysis sessions with a cumulative dose of 1000 mg elemental iron. The mean change in hemoglobin from baseline to Day 24 (end of treatment), Day 36, and Day 57 was assessed. Patients in the Venofer treated population showed a statistically significant increase in hemoglobin and hematocrit compared to patients in the historical control population. Serum ferritin and transferrin saturation also increased significantly compared to the historical control.
Study B was a multicenter, open-label trial of Venofer involving 23 iron deficient hemodialysis patients who had been discontinued from iron dextran due to intolerance. All 23 patients were evaluated for drug effectiveness, and statistically significant increases in mean hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum ferritin, and transferrin saturation were observed.
Study C was a multicenter, open-label, two period (treatment followed by observation period) trial in iron deficient hemodialysis patients. Venofer was administered in doses of 100 mg during sequential dialysis sessions until a pre-determined, calculated total dose of iron was administered. Twenty-seven patients (20%) were receiving erythropoietin treatment at trial entry, and they continued to receive the same erythropoietin dose for the duration of the trial. Significant increases from baseline in mean hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum ferritin, and serum transferrin saturation were observed at week two of the observation period, and these values remained significantly increased at week four. (from FDA label)
Side Effects
Hypotension (low blood pressure) has been frequently reported in patients receiving intravenous iron, and may be related to the rate of administration of Venofer and to the total dose received. As a result, caution should be taken to ensure that Venofer is administered as directed.
Adverse reactions noted in the three Venofer trials include the following (reported by more than 5% of the treated patients):
- Hypotension (36%)
- Cramps/leg cramps (23%)
- Nausea
- Headache
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
Additionally, serious hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in patients receiving therapy with iron carbohydrate complexes. While fatal hypersensitivity reactions have not been observed in Venofer clinical trials, physician vigilance is advised while any patient is receiving an intravenous iron product.
Mechanism of Action
Following intravenous administration of Venofer, iron sucrose is dissociated by the reticuloendothelial system into iron and sucrose. Venofer's iron component appears to distribute mainly in the blood and to some extent in the extravascular fluid. A study evaluating Venofer containing 100 mg of iron labeled with 52Fe/59Fe in patients with iron deficiency showed that a significant amount of the administered iron distributes in the liver, spleen and bone marrow, and that the bone marrow is an iron trapping compartment and not a reversible volume of distribution. (from FDA label)

Single Crystal Structure Refinement (SREF)
The electron density map generated by solution of the phase problem can be seen as a basic structure map. However, the assignment of atoms to different intensity centers is key to understanding the structure. The step of atom assignment is referred to as solving the crystal structure. The procedure can be mystifying to the beginner, but is reasonably straightforward. There are two basic procedures for structure solutions, which will be discussed below.
Known Mineral
If the sample is a known mineral species, a template of a solved structure of that species may be used for initial atom assignment. This speeds solution, as the major sites can be assigned quickly. Once these have been assigned, the solution can be further manipulated to extract a better agreement between observed (F(obs)) and calculated (F(calc)) data. Typical steps include changing the site occupancy, splitting the site occupancy between two elements, allowing the sites to become anisotropic, and locating hydrogen. As hydrogen is the lightest element, it can be difficult to locate in minerals with significant "heavy" element content. Small changes are made at each step and then run through least-squares cycles, which recalculate the structure using Fourier transformations. Practiced refiners tend to follow the same steps each time.Unknown Mineral
More challenging is when the mineral is unknown or a new species. Here, a template may not be able to be used and elements must instead be assigned based on the geometry of the intensity centers and the chemistry of the material. This procedure can be much more difficult, as it is often through "trial and error" that the correct assignment is found. Once it has, the structure will be further refined as described above.Results
The results of the structure refinement yield a list of atom X-Y-Z assignments in the unit cell, shape of the anisotropic intensity center for each atom (thermal parameters), and the distance of the nearest atomic neighbors. Additionally, the angle between nearest neighbors is also given. Quality of a solution is assessed by the values of R1, wR2, and GooF.- R1, often called the R-value, is the agreement between the calculated and observed models. The formula for this value is R1= |S |Fo|-|Fc| | / |S |Fo| |. Ideal solutions would have R-values of 0, however, due to random errors, this is never achieved. R-values (listed as percents) of less than 5% are considered good solutions; high quality samples will often result in R-values lower than 2.5%.
- wR2 is similar to R1, but refers to squared F-values. This results in wR2 always having a higher value than R1.
- The final value, GooF, refers to the "goodness of fit" of the solution. In addition to the difference in F values, the GooF also takes into account the number of observed reflections and the parameters used. At the end of refinement, the GooF should approach 1.

Lake Murray History Lake Murray is named after William Murray, the engineer who, with his partner T. C. Williams, conceived and persevered until "the world's largest earthen dam" at that time was finished. Their vision of harnessing hydroelectric power here and at the Santee Cooper project brought abundant electricity to the middle part of South Carolina. Work on the dam across the Saluda River was started on September 21, 1927 and was finished on June 30, 1930. During construction of the dam, a Movietone news crew filmed the construction, and the newsreel footage has been preserved at the University of South Carolina (view film clips) The river begins near the North Carolina border. As it runs to the sea, it fills Greenville Water reservoir, Greenwood Lake, and then Lake Murray. Past the dam, the Saluda joins the Congaree and Wateree rivers to flow to the Atlantic Ocean. The dam itself was built over 200 feet tall. It runs a distance of a mile and a half across. The ground level of the dam is over a quarter of a mile thick. The lake that it forms is forty-one miles long and, in places, over fourteen miles wide. State Highway 6 runs along the top of the dam, giving a panoramic view of the water on one side and the layout of the SCE&G Power Plant below. more history....

Tiered Cheese Slices Recipe
I can't tell you how many times I've made this recipe or been asked to share it! Guests always think I fussed, but the simple ingredients go together in minutes using pre-sliced cheese. For busy holiday hostesses, it's a do-ahead delight.
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 2 packages (8 ounces each) deli-style cheddar cheese slices (about 3 inches square)
- Assorted crackers
- 1. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, hot pepper sauce and salt. Stir in pecans and cranberries.
- 2. On a 12-in. square of aluminum foil, place two slices of cheese side by side; spread with 2-3 tablespoons cream cheese mixture. Repeat layers six times. Top with two cheese slices. (Save remaining cheese slices for another use.)
- 3. Fold foil around cheese and seal tightly. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Cut in half lengthwise and then widthwise into 1/4-in. slices. Serve with crackers. Yield: about 4 dozen.
