Auza, also known as Incubus, was the cerebrate in control of Incubus Brood, featuring as a minor character in StarCraft: Insurrection. As the Incubus Brood lacked the sheer destructive capacity of most of the larger broods, Auza's forces were most often directed towards smaller fringe colonies and settlements. Auza's skills lay primarily in scouting and deception, deeply rooting his forces behind the enemy lines and tactically striking them until they collapse in on themselves, often before Incubus Brood's presence was discovered. Auza preferred to use defilers, queens and infested terrans.[1]
Auza's brood launched an invasion of Brontes IV but was stymied by the efforts of the New Dresdin Outlaws[2] and an alliance between these terrans and protoss.[3]
They were assisted by the Fist of Redemption, terran rebels who believed the zerg to be their saviors and who were never far away from the brood's operations.[2]
However, a protoss attack led by Aedus/Xerxes destroyed the primary resource base of the Incubus Brood in the Valley of the Shadow.[4] The lack of resources forced Auza into rashly attacking the primary 7th Fleet stronghold, but this was met with a devastating defeat.[5] In an attempt to quickly bolster their numbers Incubus Brood infested a large amount of the Fist of Redemption, with Auza personally assimilating its leader, the ghost Atticus Carpenter. This fatally backfired as the powerful psychic mind of Carpenter proved to be too strong for Auza's own mind. Carpenter was able to establish full control over both Auza's body and brood.[6] The Overmind noticed that Carpenter's mind was taking over Auza.[7]
Ultimately Auza's physical body was killed along with Carpenter's mind by zerg forces at the completion of the invasion, but by this point Auza no longer existed.[8]
Auza was frequently referred to as "Incubus" by the Overmind and Aedus/Xerxes.

Ebichu the Housekeeping Hamster is a delightful tale of love, romance, sex, and violence. But mostly sex and violence. Actually... just sex and violence. Nothing but sex and violence.
It premiered on Japanese Television as the first of a three-block anime set called the Anime Love Bubble Bubble Hour or the Anime Love Awa Awa Hour, and was produced by Gainax; original manga by Itoo Risa. The story, much like Gainax's other works, is... moot. The story doesn't matter. All you need to know is that this show is hilarious in its depiction of... yup, that's right... sex and violence.
Ebichu - voiced by Mitsuishi Kotono. Ebichu is a talking (although she pronounces S like Ch) hamster that will do anything for her master. Unfortunately, Ebichu easily makes mistakes and is frequently punished for them. Violently. Ebichu finds happiness in the simple things... ice cream, Camembert cheese, and making her master happy. Ebichu also has sexual psychic abilities and can tell why/what/how people are having their sexual relations. AND WATCH OUT FOR EBICHUMAN! SHE FLIES AND HAS SUPER ULTRA SEXUAL PSYCHIC ABILITIES. BOY HOWDY!
Ebichu's Master - voiced by Tomizawa Michie. Ebichu's Master doesn't have a name, even in the manga. She's just referred to as Office Lady, or Master. She is 25 years old (considered the oldest a Japanese woman can get a husband) and is desperate. She bought Ebichu for 1050 yen (around $10), but for no apparent reason, because it seems as if she hates Ebichu.
Kaishounashi - voiced by Seki Tomokazu. Office Lady's deadbeat boyfriend. He cheats on her, he drinks, he gambles, he sleeps around some more, and then sweet talks her back into their emotionless relationship when he needs her for a good fuck. He seems to hate Ebichu just as much as Ebichu seems to hate him.
There is no coherent, useful storyline or plot. None that are worth following, anyway. A generic episode goes something like this... sex, hamster beatings, sex, sex, hamster beatings, sex, the end. It's really quite ingenious. The TV show was the first of its kind in Japan. It's raunchy, dirty, smutty, filled with nudity, and words and content that can really only be matched by South Park. Ebichu really raised the bar for anime everywhere. Or maybe lowered? I don't know.
Much like South Park besides content, Ebichu is a really funny show that relies on a quick wit and pervertedness over the usual slapstick. One of the (cornier) jokes is as follows:
Ebichu: What do you think of when you think of Fall? OL: What's gotten into you all of a sudden? Ebichu: Kuri, right? Ebichu: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU THINK OF CHESTNUTS!? Ebichu: Well, risu, right? OL: What's your point? Ebichu: kuritorisu! Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness! teeheehee.
This type of joke (which is one of the milder ones, and if you didn't get it, don't pronounce the U's and remember that the Japanese pronounce L's as R's and R's as L's, also that 'to' in Japanese roughly means 'and') hadn't really been seen on Japanese television prior to Ebichu. Because of its raunchiness, the original airings of Ebichu were massively censored and bleeped, much like earlier episodes of South Park. To further the similarities between the two, Ebichu's animation quality appears to be below par, but in fact this is intentional. The animators could get away with more if it was poorly drawn.
On top of the sexual part of the show, is the violence part, which is even funnier than the sex. But it's more of a HAHAa... awwww... hahaha... style of comedy than anything else. I mean, while it's absolutely hilarious to see a hamster fly across the room only to hit the wall in a bloody SPLAT! is rather sad... for a minute. After that it's funny again.
All in all, if you like South Park, you'll love Ebichu the Housekeeping Hamster too!

A Psychophysiologic Study of Weakening Traumatic Combat Memories With Post-Reactivation Propranolol
Recruitment status was Recruiting

- How to Read a Study Record
The consolidation of learning is enhanced by adrenalin and other stress hormones. This memory enhancing effect is opposed by propranolol. In post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a psychologically traumatic event may overstimulate stress hormones such as adrenalin, which in turn overly strengthen consolidation of the memory of the event, leading to an excessively powerful and persistent memory. Administration of propranolol after a psychologically traumatic event could reduce subsequent PTSD. Unfortunately, there exists a window of opportunity for influencing the consolidation of a traumatic event into long-term memory. In persons who have already developed PTSD, this would have closed months or years earlier. However, recent developments in animal research suggest that reactivation (retrieval) of a consolidated memory can return it to a labile state, from which it must be restabilized in order to persist. This process, which has been termed "reconsolidation," can be reduced in animals by propranolol.
In a preliminary study performed by the PI and colleagues in Canada, civilian subjects with PTSD described the traumatic event during a script preparation session, which served to reactivate their traumatic memory. They then received either propranolol or placebo. A week later, during script-driven imagery of their traumatic events, physiologic responses were smaller in the subjects who had received post-reactivation propranolol compared to placebo, suggesting that the traumatic memory had been weakened by the propranolol. These results suggest that that post-reactivation propranolol recapitulates its effects on consolidation, this time by blocking reconsolidation of the traumatic memory.
Several important questions remain unanswered. First, does propranolol also weaken traumatic memories in combat-related PTSD? Second, does this weakening effect only occur when the propranolol is given after combat memory reactivation? If not, this would refute the reconsolidation hypothesis and suggest that propranolol affects non-specific mechanisms. Third, how long does the traumatic memory weakening last?
The proposed project will investigate these questions by performing an improved, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in Iraq and Afghanistan veterans with combat-related PTSD. Subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: post-reactivation propranolol or non-reactivation propranolol. Subjects in the non-reactivation propranolol group will receive propranolol in the absence of traumatic memory reactivation. Subjects randomized to the post-reactivation propranolol group will receive matching placebo capsules. Two days later, all subjects will return for a script preparation session, at which time they will describe the details of their traumatic event. Subjects randomized to the post-reactivation propranolol group will then receive propranolol, whereas subjects randomized to the non-reactivation propranolol group will receive placebo. Subjects will then return for psychophysiologic script-driven imagery testing one week and six months later. We hypothesize that those who receive propranolol after reactivation of their memories of their traumatic combat event(s) will show significantly smaller psychophysiologic responses during script-driven imagery testing compared to subjects who receive propranolol in the absence of combat memory reactivation, supporting the inference that post-reactivation propranolol blocks the reconsolidation of traumatic combat memories.

Who ever thought of grilling lettuce? I certainly never had. I thought we only ate it in salads and on sandwiches and such. Shows how much this foodista knows!
The first time I had grilled Romaine lettuce was at the French Laundry, Thomas Keller's famous restaurant in Yountville, California. If memory serves, it was a called a Caesar salad, but what arrived was a tiny, perfectly grilled head of baby Romaine. Brilliant!
We decided to give it a try at home. Since our Romaine was "full-grown" we sliced it down the middle. Then, we sprayed it with olive oil, drizzled it with a good balsamic vinegar, and gingerly sprinkled with salt and pepper.
After grilling it for a few minutes on each side, we dug in. The result was was a beautiful "salad" that was sweet, tender and possessing the wonderful smokiness of the grill.

Kayaks are pretty good quality. |

it was fun, laid back and the staff was really friendly. It was quite an adventure! |
The boats were fairly clean. I did get a little dirt on my bum but it wasn't a big deal. just remember to leave anything that might get wet in your car before you get in the Kayak. And before to take a bathroom break before going on the excursion. |
Oct 21, 2014 Natalie CA, United States | |||||||
The kayak was clean and I did not fall in the water. It was a beautiful day and there was not much wind. |
Jun 02, 2014 Marsha California, United States | |||||||
The kayak was clean and buoyant, the paddles were standard, and the seat backs were adjustable. Everything you could ask for in a ride around the harbor. Great location- very easy to drive to, plenty of parking. The office (where you pay and sign in) is very close to the dock (where you get your kayak). Ray gave simple and clear instructions of how to get in and out of the kayak and where to go in the harbor. The few times that I called in beforehand to ask a few questions, everyone who I talked with answered within 5 seconds and was very helpful! My husband and I are both in pretty good shape, and we felt that the 2 hour time frame was perfect. We paddled from the end of Basin G to Basin C, then out to the end of the jetty, and then straight back to the end of Basin G. We stopped a few times to take photos and look at boats as well as paddled hard to go quickly, and made it back in 1 hour 50 minutes. |

Get the Best Priced Hyundai Clutch Cable
- Fast Shipping
- 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
- Lowest Prices
Hyundai Replacement Clutch Cables
In recent years the tight design and entry level pricing of Hyundai automobiles have afforded agile driver control and superior fuel efficiency. People who appreciate performance know that only the highest quality replacement parts should be used for repairs and maintenance. If a Clutch Cable is too loose, the clutch disc will not join correctly with the pressure plate, causing excessive wear and forcing replacement of the clutch. Your clutch assembly will have a short lifespan or stop working if the Clutch Cable, which attaches the clutch pedal to the release fork, is worn and stretched. Your Clutch Cable allows the operator of the vehicle to disengage the motor from the wheels so they can change gears without stopping the engine. The car or truck's Clutch Cable is a thin cable which can break and need to be immediately replaced. If your vehicle's Clutch Cable snaps, the clutch cannot disengage the engine from the transmission and the vehicle may start to move forward even with the clutch pedal fully pressed in. A frayed Clutch Cable is easy to repair, and is relatively inexpensive. The Clutch Cable attaches the clutch mechanism to the car's transmission.
They had the part I needed (I was told it was a dealer only part), they shipped it quickly and it fit just fine! Thank you!
Got the right part at a good price in a timely maner, and they didn't rip me off on shiping. What's not to like?

The last Wednesday in September is celebrated as World School Milk Day. Milk is glorified and children are being told that they need it to have healthy bones and grow big and strong.

Viva!'s concerns about illegal mutilations buried to protect farming industry
Whenever we go undercover to expose animal abuse, one of the questions we are often asked by supporters is whether we have reported our findings to the authorities and what they are doing about them? There is a widespread misconception that farmed animals are protected from suffering and the laws in place are up to the job. In reality, that simply isn't true.
Associate Professor Culum Brown, Editor of the journal Animal Behaviour and Director of Advanced Biology at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia recently wrote about a group of animals that "…have very good memories, live in complex social communities where they keep track of individuals and can learn from one another; a process that leads to the development of stable cultural traditions. They recognise themselves and others. They cooperate with one another and show signs of Machiavellian intelligence such as cooperation and reconciliation.
This week another story is circulating in the media suggesting that soya may actually promote breast cancer: "Could soy cause breast cancer to spread? Protein found to speed up growth of the disease" (Daily Mail 5th September 2014). This headline is based on a US study that looked at how soya supplements affected gene expression in breast cancer patients. They gave 70 patients two packets of soya protein per day and 70 patients a placebo (two packets of cow's milk protein).
In last night's Horizon programme 'Should I Eat Meat? - The Big Health Dilemma', Dr Michael Mosley investigated the health effects of red and processed meat.

We'll have some fun!
A little bit about myself. I'm honest, loyal, caring, hardworking, confident, loving, secure, and understanding. I think honesty is number one in a relationship, you have to have it. When I'm with you, you're the only girl I want to be with. I don't mind listening to what you have to say whether it's good news or bad. I feel you get to know the one your with by listening and caring for what they have to say. I work a lot and don't mind it. I just want to make the one I'm with proud of me. If that means working everyday to take care of my family then that's what i'll do. I have confidence but am not cocky. Just know who I am. I'm not afraid to walk hand in hand with my girl. Affection is important to me, it just shows that you care for one another and you want the world to know it. Lol. I love to attend sporting events, concerts, just anything outdoors. Love the warm weather. Wish it lasted more than 6 months. I also don't mind spending time inside on a cold day cuddled up with my baby watching a good movie or a football game. I don't dislike cold weather but definitely prefer the warmth. Obviously a lot more to do. I enjoy just walking around. IE. Downtown, broad ripple, or just the neighborhood. Like people watching. Like playing some softball, basketball, flag football leagues when I have the time. Lately I haven't but that's fine, life still goes on and I'm happy where I'm at. Now, I'm just looking for that special girl to make like complete. It's an amazing feeling to have someone to just randomly call throughout the day, come home at night and share your day with one another. Make dinner or go out to eat and best of all cuddling up for a good night sleep. Would love to hear back from you. Submitted from mobile

I thought he looked in no state to continue. But after the fight ended, it didn't look to bad. I don't think Matthews would have lasted though, he'd have been bloodied and battered after. His nose would have been mushed.

I haven't seen the fight, but English boxing suffers from refs stopping the fighs too early... Might be because the British audience (or really the media speaking for the audience) is squeamish (blood is not what they want in fights).
I remember watching Frenkel-Maccanrelli and the ref of that fight was slaughtered by the media for letting Maccanrelli continue after the 1st knockdown. He got dropped hard, but he wasn't wobbling or visibly giving a reason why he shouldn't continue. On that same card there was a couple of early stoppages that were too early, but they didn't get stopped and the refs didn't get criticized. The ref of Mathysse-Harris must be the dean at the UK referee academy. If you're going to gamble on British boxing, you should know that early stoppages are the norm and not the exception. |
and with £300 down the drain i think you might get a return match with your girl.
seriously though 8 rounds more with a broken nose...one that has got a point deduction or a warning to rees. had he made it to the end of the round and they retired him at the end of the round would you complain with a stoppage? |

Very good recipe with an East Indian flavor. It is relatively quick to make, quicker than the recipe actually says, as some of the prep can go on while other things are cooking. You can also save time by sauteing the carrots along with the potatoes after the potatoes are almost done. The potatoes really make the recipe good, as they blend into the gravy mixture, making it thick and hearty. I highly recommend (though I think that 1 tablespoon of turmeric is sufficient).
I was worried about so much tumeric in the recipe. It does have an East Indian flavour but not too over powering. Everyone enjoyed it even my fussy teenage son. I left out the potatoes and added a few more carrots.
this was very good! I added sweet potatoes and green bell pepper. Next time I will add more carrots. I simmered it on the stove for about an hour to get all the flavors to meld together. served over jasmine rice. will definitly make it again and maybe add some heat.

"People have been asking me to make more trancey, less bass oriented music, so this is just me getting back into that groove and making more stuff similar to my older styles.
Thank you for supporting my music, I really appreciate it. "

Great song cant stop lsitening
Great song. Definitely showing friends.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I like this...A LOT!
This is beautiful. Drum and bass is my all time favorite music, and you have definitely added a beautiful piece to its amazing lineup of god-worthy songs. Trancey sound in this genre is a first for me, and I'm definitely hooked on it now. I've liked your music since I first heard your work, but you've topped the cake with this one. Mad props. Keep up the excellent work. I will definitely buy this song for the higher quality version. You deserve it.

This is a work of art
Anyone who says you should stick to dubstep is incapable of comprehending how incredible this track is.
i appreciate it duuude :)

Just realized that I've listened to this on loop over 10 times already... and I want to listen to it for at least another 10.
Great song, man. Thank you.

UPDATE: This morning the Boston Globe reported that the Red Sox would not offer Adrian Beltre in excess of four years, $52 million. Theo Epstein has now denied that report to the Globe.
This is one of those "who knows?" things. I mean, sure, you have to take Epstein at face value because that's the best information we have right now. But, it's worth noting, if the Red Sox had made a determination of an offer ceiling, it's not like they'd confirm it publicly. Ahh, rumor season.
8:59 A.M.: That's what Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe is saying anyway.
Am I nuts in thinking that there is no way someone doesn't beat that? The Angles and Giants spring to mind. Several other teams would likely want to get in on that action too. I mean, sure, he'll be 32 next season, and maybe he's "worth" that in some abstract sense. But the market isn't an abstract sense, and he's a pretty unique property this winter. He's also a Boras client.
I think that offer gets topped. With all respect to Cafardo's source, maybe even by the Red Sox.
- bpasinko - Nov 17, 2010 at 9:04 AM
I think the Angels sign Beltre and Crawford.
The Red Sox have this irrational fear of overpaying someone which doesn't make sense considering they can afford to do it.
This is all speculative but the only thing I can think of is that they're preparing to get Adrian Gonzalez.
- xpensivewinos - Nov 17, 2010 at 9:39 AM
Why would anyone over pay just because they can?
Especially with a guy who received one of the worst contracts in baseball history after his last one good year.
Beltre's season was a fluke. Move on…..
Thy can move Youkilis back to third (further highlighting how valuable he is) and then can sign or trade for a stud first baseman……….and not Adrian Gonzalez.
- mcsnide - Nov 17, 2010 at 9:52 AM
Beltre's a great player, but the idea of paying him even that much over that long a term gives me heartburn. Does no one in the front office remember the results of the last time they gave a 32-year-old 3B a long-term deal? It went so well, they spent the last two years trying to give Lowell away.
- Ari Collins - Nov 17, 2010 at 11:07 AM
The idea that his last multi-year $13 million deal was a bust is just flat wrong. EVEN hitting like he did in Seattle, a park that's death to right-handed hitters, he was worth $13 million thanks to his defense.
Only two out of three of Beltre's last three contract years have been good. The thing that his two particularly great years have in common are that they weren't in SafeCo.
- Ace - Nov 17, 2010 at 11:31 AM
The good folks over at FanGraphs did one of their fun little "Contract Crowdsourcing" surveys for Beltre earlier this fall. The result, somewhat astonishingly: 4 years, 52 mil. Weird.
Regardless, I'm with Craig on this. I'd be surprised if anyone went beyond 4 years on him, but I could very easily see the total dollars topping 52 mil.
- thinman61 - Nov 17, 2010 at 11:46 AM
In a subsequent post by Nick Cafardo, Theo Epstein denies drawing a line in the sand on Beltre.
- paperlions - Nov 17, 2010 at 11:53 AM
The thing is that he may be worth more than $13M/year for the first couple of year, but very likely to be worth less (possibly much less) the last year or two. An average of $13M/year is about right for a 32/33/34/35 yr old 3B….not like his defense won't suffer over time too.

Following the post-midnight gunning down of the five suspected bank robbers in Velachery, the action shifted to the Government Royapettah Hospital around 3 a.m. when the bullet-ridden bodies were brought in there by police parties.
An Accident Report was recorded for the dead bodies as 'unknown persons' and a preliminary examination carried out by duty doctors. Police inspectors Christian Jayasil (Thoraipakkam) and Ravi (Teynampet), who allegedly suffered injuries during the gunfight between the police and the robbers, were admitted to the same hospital.
Both the officers refused to speak to the media, claiming they were not in a condition to talk.
However, when not under the gaze of the cameras, one of the officers could be seen chatting away on his mobile phone.
Around 4 a.m., the corpses of the five suspects were shifted to the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital. Following examination by doctors at the casualty ward, the bodies were wheeled to the mortuary.
Bullet wounds
Elaborating on the bullet wounds, a duty doctor who examined the bodies said that the suspects had multiple bullet wounds and a few had visible bruises, possibly suffered in an attempt to escape the gunfire. "Only one body had a bullet wound on the forehead, which had split open. The bullet must have been fired from a close range," he added.
No bullets were removed from any of the bodies as they were transferred intact to the mortuary for examination by a magistrate as part of the judicial enquiry. They were all shot at least three times in the stomach, hand and chest, except for one who was shot in the head, said the doctor.
Kingpin's body
The body of the kingpin, later identified as Vinod Kumar (32) from Patna, who was captured on CCTV and his image flashed in newspapers and TV channels, was seen with no fingers on the left hand and burnt fingers on the right.
"His fingers were damaged in what is suspected to be an explosion or an accident that had taken place a few years ago," the duty doctor said.
According to hospital sources, the post-mortem will be conducted only after the magisterial enquiry is completed. No one came forward to claim the bodies till Thursday night.

Deep Sleep | ||||||||
Charles Wilson | ||||||||
St. Martin's Press, 320 pages | ||||||||
A review by Lisa DuMond
Wilson has something a bit different in store for us this time. In Deep Sleep he's introduced us to his greatest
character, yet. Greater in scope and history than any human could ever be is the looming presence of the swamp. Wilson has
portrayed the bayou area of Louisiana so vividly and in such depth that this little town emerges as a character like you
have never known. Intriguing, enticing, just the right blend of attraction and menace. For those who have never
experienced that rich region of America, this is a prime chance.
In this thick atmosphere a murder has taken place and you just know more gore is on the way. Detective Mark French,
a man trying to forget his past, is the investigator on the case. As he struggles with his own problems, he fights to
uncover the truth behind the strange goings-on in the secluded, little town. Before he can even get started, French
meets up with the latest addition, a quirky and alluring young doctor who has come back to her old haunt to sub for
another doctor -- and, inevitably, becomes embroiled in the case.
A wide range of characters are sketched in Wilson's light keystrokes, leaving readers room to make up their own
minds about good, evil, and the masses in between. The most fascinating human character is a creature many might consider
less than human, but he is the most vulnerable and, perhaps, the most humane of the lot. Boudron is severely
deformed -- always a gamble to employ in a novel -- but the perfect component of this story. Boudron's full story is
revealed in Wilson's perfect balance of compassion and brutal frankness. A more tragic character would be difficult to
uncover in modern literature.
Deep Sleep is the finest in a long line of novels.
Wilson's combination of absorbing plot, intoxicating locale, and a parade of unique characters make for a tale as
irresistible as chocolate truffles, but so much more satisfying.
Pick it up. Don't put it down until the last page. Yes, that's a typical Charles Wilson novel -- anything but typical.
In between reviews and interviews, Lisa DuMond writes science fiction and humour. DARKERS, her latest novel, will be published in early 2000 by Hard Shell Word Factory. She has also written for BOOKPAGE and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. Her articles and short stories are all over the map. You can check out Lisa and her work at her website hikeeba!. |

He took on characters such as a lumberjack, an earnest 'View' fan, and Hannibal Lechter; he even donned a Little Orphan Annie dress and sang.
Saving one of the biggest laughs for last, the 41-year-old North Carolina native brought the episode to a close by thanking viewers while sporting a newly shaved 'hawk on his head, apologizing that they ran out of time for "the Mr. T sketch."
A highlight was his digital short, pairing Galifianakis with kids who were applying for the job of his personal assistant. Our money's on the suck-up kid ("Don't cry, Zach, you look perfect"), or the girl who admits it's fun not to do your job. The boy with the stinky feet is probably too honest for his own good.

Maria Sharapova Tapped For Google Demo Slam
Who wouldn't jump at the chance to hang with Maria Sharapova? Certainly not Jonny Watson and Dan Harrison from Dare who were offered 90 minutes of the Russian tennis babe's time to come up with a video to promote Google's Search by Voice technology. The resulting video became part of Google's Demo Slam which allows the public to vote for their favorite Google product demo.
Sharapova, being the famous beauty she is, and the pair's Whack A Guy With A Tennis Ball approach has garnered the video 156,000 views and the number four slot in the Demo Slam competition.

So last night, the husband says "you know what? we haven't got enough books".
I look around our small apartment. The bookshelves are bulging, the coffee table is covered in books, the floor under the coffee table has stacks of book, my bedside table is covered in books, husband's desk is covered in books, our apartment looks like a library threw up. It's a miracle the kitchen table and chairs aren't covered in books.
"you're right sweetheart", I responded, quite seriously. "I'll have to fix that"
While I'm working on a review, here's a few items that recently snuck into the apartment, while I wasn't looking, of course. Most of this batch falls under the category of borrowed.
Have you read any of these? which do you recommend? which look interesting? what should I dive into first? what should I skip?
A Guile of Dragons – this is the new from from James Enge, creator of Morlock Ambrose. This appears to be first in a new series, although connected to his previous Morlock books. I read The Wolf Age and Blood of Ambrose, and while I remember them being entertaining, I also remember Enge having some major pacing issues. Let's hope he's worked those out.
Clockwork Rocket by Greg Egan – high priority to read, as it's my local scifi bookclub's choice for Sept. This seems to be a relativistic story of beating time by changing how fast it moves (in relation to you, of course). I have high hopes. Egan has about a dozen books out so far, anyone read any of them? This will be my first by him.

If anything I mentioned earlier in this paragraph got your attention, Range of Ghosts is probably a book for you.
Our story starts on a battlefield within the Khaganate lands, where Prince Temur has been left for dead. Under The Eternal Sky, a tiny moon shines for every heir. Once, there were over a hundred. But the great Khagan died, and his heirs fight for his throne, shattering alliances and slaughtering brothers, sons, friends. As Temur looks to the Eternal sky, fewer and fewer moons remain. His brother's moon has gone dim, but his uncle's still shines bright.
After leaving the carnage of the battlefield, Temur heads for the safety of the mountains, and meets up with the refugee clans of his people. Many of the families lost all their young men in the battles, so a young man of marriageable age is far more valuable to them than a prince. Happy to live out his life as a simple man, Temur wisely keeps his mouth shut regarding his lineage, and is soon unofficially betrothed to Edene, the great granddaughter of a clan matriarch. When Edene is stolen away by the ghosts of the battlefield slain, Temur vows to rescue her.
As the Khaganate falls under the weight of too many heirs, far to the West someone is breeding filth. Through the dark arts of a glass book, the Al-Sepehr has learned the magics of binding the dead to his will. The more deaths in the Khaganate lands, the larger of an army of dead he will have under his power. All that is left is to sew more and more discontent and anger among the few remaining heirs to the Khaganate. Why fight a war of territory with your barbaric neighbors when you can make them kill themselves for you?

Delicious natural peanut butter - 100% peanuts
I always read the labels and Meridien is the only brand I have found so far which uses only peanuts and no other ingredients (no oils, salts or other stuff). This peanut butter is 100% peanuts and it is delicious! I have tried both the smooth and crunchy versions and both are equally delicious and tasty. I recommend this product 100%.

Great for keeping your kids off sugar!
NO sugar, no salt, No dreaded vegetable oil, only peanuts!! Blend with raw milk for a delicious milkshake

Best peanut butter ever.
I thought I loved skippy.. until this product came along. at first I thought it tasted bland, but when I got used to it I don't think I'll ever want to go back to peanut butters with added sugar in them. it helped curb my sugar intake and is a great snack even on its own, especially for someone with frequent sugar crashes. wholesome, natural, peanutty goodness in a jar this is!

Smoke-Filled RoomsEllen D. KatzUniversity of Michigan Law School September 3, 2008 U of Michigan Public Law Working Paper No. 121 Abstract: The smoke-filled room is making a comeback. Condemned as a corrupt, anti-democratic means for nominating candidates to public office, the smoke-filled room has recently found prominent and diverse defenders. Last winter, Democratic stalwart Geraldine Ferraro celebrated the institution when she urged Democratic superdelegates to exercise their controlling power independently of, or even counter to, the will of the Democratic Party's rank and file. A few weeks earlier, Justice Scalia celebrated the smoke-filled room as a traditional, legitimate and accepted means for selecting candidates for public office, and hence one on which New York State could permissibly rely to select nominees for state trial judge. Smoke-filled rooms are not all alike, and the differences among them matter. This paper explores these differences by comparing the role of the smoke-filled room in the nomination process Barack Obama traversed in order to become the Democratic Party's nominee for president with the one Margarita Lopez Torres confronted when she sought her party's nomination to become a trial judge in Brooklyn. Broadly similar in structure, both nomination processes rely on decentralized state-run primaries to select delegates to attend party-run conventions that select the party's nominee. And both give party leaders discretionary power to determine the nominee absent meaningful input by the party's rank and file. These two smoke-filled rooms nevertheless differ in important respects. This paper shows how the one Obama confronted and Ferraro defended was more transparent, penetrable, directed by party rule, and politically contestable than was the one Lopez Torres faced and Justice Scalia upheld in New York State Board of Elections v. Lopez Torres. These differences explain not only why Obama succeeded and Lopez Torres failed, but also why the smoke-filled room inhabited by Democratic superdelegates is a far more viable political structure.

A 32 s breathing pause in a sleep apnea patient
Apnea, apnoea, or apnœa (Greek: ἄπνοια, from ἀ-, privative, πνέειν, to breathe) is a term for suspension of external breathing. During apnea, there is no movement of the muscles of inhalation and the volume of the lungs initially remains unchanged. Depending on how blocked the airways are (patency), there may or may not be a flow of gas between the lungs and the environment; gas exchange within the lungs and cellular respiration is not affected.
Apnea can be voluntarily achieved, drug-induced (such as opiate toxicity or tryptamine toxicity), mechanically induced (for example, by strangulation or choking), or it can occur as a consequence of neurological disease or trauma. During sleep in patients who are suffering from sleep apnea, these events will occur up to 20–30 times per hour, every night.
Apnea can also be observed during periods of heightened emotion, such as during crying or accompanied by the valsalva maneuver when a person laughs.
Voluntary apnea can be achieved by closing the vocal cords, simultaneously keeping the mouth closed and blocking the nasal vestibule, or constantly activating expiratory muscles.
Under normal conditions, humans cannot store much oxygen in the body. Prolonged apnea leads to severe lack of oxygen in the blood circulation. Permanent brain damage can occur after as little as three minutes and death will inevitably ensue after a few more minutes unless ventilation is restored. However, under special circumstances such as hypothermia, hyperbaric oxygenation, apneic oxygenation (see below), or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, much longer periods of apnea may be tolerated without severe consequences.
Untrained humans cannot sustain voluntary apnea for more than one or two minutes.[citation needed] The reason for the time limit of voluntary apnea is that the rate of breathing and the volume of each breath are tightly regulated to maintain constant values of CO2 tension and pH of the blood. In apnea, CO2 is not removed through the lungs and accumulates in the blood. The consequent rise in CO2 tension and drop in pH result in stimulation of the respiratory centre in the brain which eventually cannot be overcome voluntarily.
When a person is immersed in water, physiological changes due to the mammalian diving reflex enable somewhat longer tolerance of apnea even in untrained persons. Tolerance can in addition be trained. The ancient technique of free-diving requires breath-holding, and world-class free-divers can hold their breath underwater up to depths of 214 metres and for more than four minutes.[1] Apneists, in this context, are people who can hold their breath for a long time.
Voluntary hyperventilation before beginning voluntary apnea is commonly believed to allow the person involved to safely hold their breath for a longer period. In reality, it will give the impression that one does not need to breathe, while the body is actually experiencing a blood-oxygen level that would normally, and indirectly, invoke a strong dyspnea. Some have incorrectly attributed the effect of hyperventilation to increased oxygen in the blood, not realizing that it is actually due to a decrease in CO2 in the blood and lungs. Blood leaving the lungs is normally fully saturated with oxygen, so hyperventilation of normal air cannot increase the amount of oxygen available. Lowering the CO2 concentration increases the pH of the blood, thus increasing the time before the respiratory center becomes stimulated, as described above. While hyperventilation will yield slightly longer breath-holding times, any small time increase is at the expense of possible hypoxia. One using this method can suddenly lose consciousness—a shallow water blackout—as a result. If a person loses consciousness underwater, there is considerable danger that they will drown. An alert diving partner would be in the best position to rescue such a person. Static apnea blackout occurs at the surface when a motionless diver holds a breath long enough for the circulating oxygen to fall below that required for the brain to maintain consciousness. It involves no pressure changes in the body and is usually performed to enhance breath-hold time. It should never be practiced alone, but under strict safety protocols with a safety beside the diver.
Apneic oxygenation[edit]
Because the exchange of gases between the blood and airspace of the lungs is independent of the movement of gas to and from the lungs, enough oxygen can be delivered to the circulation even if a person is apneic. This phenomenon (apneic oxygenation) is explained as follows:
With the onset of apnea, low pressure develops in the airspace of the lungs, because more oxygen is absorbed than CO2 is released. With the airways closed or obstructed, this will lead to a gradual collapse of the lungs. However, if the airways are open, any gas supplied to the upper airways will follow the pressure gradient and flow into the lungs to replace the oxygen consumed. If pure oxygen is supplied, this process will serve to replenish the oxygen stored in the lungs. The uptake of oxygen into the blood will then remain at the usual level and the normal functioning of the organs will not be affected.
However, no CO2 is removed during apnea. The partial pressure of CO2 in the airspace of the lungs will quickly equilibrate with that of the blood. As the blood is loaded with CO2 from the metabolism, more and more CO2 will accumulate and eventually displace oxygen and other gases from the airspace. CO2 will also accumulate in the tissues of the body, resulting in respiratory acidosis.
Under ideal conditions (i.e., if pure oxygen is breathed before onset of apnea to remove all nitrogen from the lungs, and pure oxygen is insufflated), apneic oxygenation could theoretically be sufficient to provide enough oxygen for survival of more than one hour's duration in a healthy adult.[citation needed] However, accumulation of carbon dioxide (described above) would remain the limiting factor.
Apneic oxygenation is more than a physiologic curiosity. It can be employed to provide a sufficient amount of oxygen in thoracic surgery when apnea cannot be avoided, and during manipulations of the airways such as bronchoscopy, intubation, and surgery of the upper airways. However, because of the limitations described above, apneic oxygenation is inferior to extracorporal circulation using a heart-lung machine and is therefore used only in emergencies and for short procedures.
In 1959, Frumin described the use of apneic oxygenation during anesthesia and surgery. Of the eight test subjects in this landmark study, the highest recorded paCO2 was 250 millimeters of mercury, and the lowest arterial pH was 6.72 after 53 minutes of apnea.[2]
Apnea scientific studies[edit]
Studies found spleen volume is reduced during short breath-hold apnea in healthy adults.[3]
Apnea test in determining brain death[edit]
A recommended practice for the clinical diagnosis of brain death formulated by the American Academy of Neurology hinges on the conjunction of three diagnostic criteria: coma, absence of brainstem reflexes, and apnea (defined as the inability of the patient to breathe unaided, that is, with no life support systems). The apnea test follows a delineated protocol.[4]

Atlanta Falcons 23, New Orleans Saints 13
The Atlanta Falcons were able to take advantage of Drew Brees' career-high five interceptions to pick up the home victory and improve to 11-1 on the season. Brees threw for 351 yards but saw his NFL-record streak of 54 consecutive games with a touchdown pass snapped in the loss.
Buffalo Bills 34, Jacksonville Jaguars 18
The Buffalo Bills piled up 232 yards rushing to hand visiting Jacksonville its 10th loss of the season. Fred Jackson carried the ball 25 times for 109 yards, and C.J. Spiller added a 44-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter to seal the win for Buffalo.
Seattle Seahawks 23, Chicago Bears 17
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson connected with Sidney Rice on a 13-yard touchdown pass on the first possession of overtime to give Seattle the win. Brandon Marshall led the way for Chicago with 10 receptions for 165 yards, including a 56-yard catch that set up Robbie Gould for a 46-yard field goal as time expired in regulation to send it to overtime.
Indianapolis Colts 35, Detroit Lions 33
Andrew Luck tossed the game-winning touchdown to Donnie Avery on the final play of overtime to cap a 12-point fourth quarter rally for Indianapolis. Lions receiver Calvin Johnson caught 13 passes for 171 yards to continue his chase of Jerry Rice's all-time single-season receiving yardage record.
Green Bay Packers 23, Minnesota Vikings 14
James Starks scored a touchdown, and Morgan Burnett intercepted Christian Ponder twice as the Packers were able to overcome a massive day from Adrian Peterson in the victory. Peterson rushed the ball 21 times for 210 yards and a touchdown while Ponder completed 12-of-25 pass attempts for 119 yards.
Kansas City Chiefs 27, Carolina Panthers 21
Brady Quinn threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns as Kansas City won only one day after Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher fatally shot his girlfriend before turning the gun on himself. Playing despite tragedy, Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles rushed for 127 yards on 27 carries to lead the Kansas City ground game.
