There's no point judging music artifacts on the merit of audile quality, not when the artifact in question represents the birth of one of the greatest metal bands in history, DEATH. Instead, we should embrace the buzzbombing, ratchety and frankly horrid cassette-era transfer of basement tapes comprising MANTAS' "Death by Metal" as a peek into the origins of future genius.
Much like HELLHAMMER preceding CELTIC FROST, MANTAS marks the beginning point for Chuck Schuldiner's journey towards inevitable greatness. MANTAS was also rounded (or routed, more like it) by drummer/vocalist Kam Lee (also of BONE GNAWER, DENIAL FIEND and MASSACRE fame) and Rick Rozz, ex-MASSACRE product and eventual second guitarist on DEATH's "Leprosy" album. To be frank, the ancient five track ambience of "Death by Metal" is strictly for DEATH fans and Gen-X metalheads who can tell you who ZNOWHITE, BLOOD FEAST and DEAF DEALER were, much less MANTAS. For Schuldiner's future purposes, the beginning threads of "Evil Dead" from DEATH's "Scream Bloody Gore" album are served here for analysis in three versions including demo and rehearsal form. The same applies to "Legion of Doom", "Power of Darkness", "Mantas" and "Death by Metal". In some ways, the "Death by Metal" tracks come off like a metallic hike of early GBH and BROKEN BONES, complete with the squelching feedback and clopping tom rolls of Kam Lee. Lee is out of control with his vocals and if you're not a devotee of this stuff, you will be writhing on the floor from his uninhibited yelping. The key attraction, of course, is Chuck Schuldiner. Messier than a teenager's bedroom, what you're witnessing in MANTAS is one of the fastest strummers the scene ever knew and already Schuldiner was refining his solos to outlandish proficiency. These early glimpses into the transition of "Evil Dead" are worth the listen alone, but Schuldiner also shines on "Power of Darkness" and "Legion of Doom". The rehearsal track of "Rise of Satan" likewise exhibits Schuldiner's future articulation, much less blinding speed, sloppy as the pace may be here. Shoddy drumming aside, Schuldiner is a freaking maniac on "Rise of Satan" and DEATH fans will be happily torn to pieces over this one. Relapse Records, which has done a magnificent job showcasing Schuldiner's work in DEATH over the past few years, hits a high mark by having the guts to release the MANTAS tapes. There's virtually nothing here that reveals Schuldiner's mindframe for later-year DEATH albums such as "Individual Thought Patterns" and "The Sound of Perseverance". However, his litany of progression and aggression is well-insinuated on "Death by Metal".

Desperate times call for desperate measures, as author Gretchen Berg finds out in her lighthearted travel memoir, I Have Iraq in My Shoe. Berg is struggling to make ends meet after the recession lands her $39,000 deep in credit card debt, and with her job ending, no future employment plans in sight. So when her friend offers her an English teaching position with a ludicrously high salary, she can't say no, even after she finds out the catch—that the job is based in Iraq. After just one year Berg pays off her debt, visits nine new countries, buys 20 new pairs of shoes, and even finds time to teach. Read on for a sample of this funny book that will (almost) inspire you to follow Berg's path.
It is possibly my least favorite thing to be standing at the Delta Airlines counter, at 5:00 a.m., listening to the agent say, "You can't take any bags over seventy pounds." I had four bags, two of which were one hundred pounds each (stupid hockey bags with their stuffable corners, and my inability to balance them on the bathroom scale at home); the other two were seventy pounds. I was told there'd be no math at the airport...
Dante's Eighth Circle of Hell was Fraud. My Eighth Circle of Hell was the Royal Jordanian Airlines counter at JFK's international terminal. Royal Jordanian apparently only allowed to checked bags, at a maximum of seventy pounds each. That should not have been surprising to me, as it was similar to Delta's policy, but those details were back in Portland, days ago, and it had been 5:00 a.m. then. The Royal Jordanian desk agent informed me that it was impossible for the airline to accommodate my two (agreeable colossal) hockey bags of now-ninety pounds apiece, two suitcases, and one small duffel bag. He explained that I could bring all one hundred eight pounds of hockey-bag-what-have-you, but it had to be distributed among three bags, not just the two hockey bags. That was not logical. It was not efficient. It was not flier-friendly. But if I had to use various adjectives to describe Royal Jordanian Airlines, those adjectives would not include logical, efficient, or flier-friendly.

Most Trusted Recreational Chair Web Retailer |
| How to Purchase and Install Directors Chair CoversThe amazing thing about Director's Chairs is that they can last forever! I have many people call us quite often saying that they have purchased a Gold Medal Directors Chair from a yard or estate sale and it needs new canvas. Well, the amazing thing is that Gold Medal started making Directors Chairs in 1892. In fact, at the 1892 World's Fair Exposition in Chicago, the Gold Medal Classic chair was awarded a medal for "Excellence in Casual Furniture Design." Today, this Gold Medal tradition is carried on by TLT Incorporated. So, that brings us back to the fact that there are alot of old, but perfectly serviceable and attractive, directors chairs out there that need new replacement canvas. I will talk a little about how to find the right canvas replacement, and how to install it. Next, you need to know the dimensions of the canvas you are looking for. If you have the old fabric, then it is easy to measure the seat and back canvas. Lay them out flat, pressing down flat the loops on the back canvas, and measure the two dimensions. Include the area for the sticks, just measure from edge to edge. But be careful here, because that well worn fabric has probably stretched over time. If you don't have the fabric, then it will take two people to do the measurement. Open the chair frame and lock the brace on the legs. Have one person push the two seat rails together with medium force, and then measure to the outside of the slots. For round stick canvas, you will add about an inch to account for the two stick loops. Now that you are armed the measurements, you can search online for a retailer of replacement directors chair fabric. EverywhereChair.com sells high quality 20 oz. cotton canvas in 12 different colors. Our other supplier, Telescope Casual, sells round stick canvas in 19 colors, and flat sticik canvas in 8 colors. In addition, they make a synthetic mesh directors chair seat and back, which is perfect for outdoor pool use. Telescope also manufacturers a padded directors chair cover, as well as a marine theme directors chair replacement canvas. The dimensions should be listed on the website, if not call customer service. If the operator does not know the dimensions, or worse yet, if they tell you that theirs will fit all directors chairs, then RUN AWAY! They don't know their products or chairs and probably will not take the item back should it not fit. So, ask about the return policy in case you have to send it back. As long as it is in new condition, there should NOT be any restocking fees, these are very easy to resell (also, please cut the plastic bag with a scissor, so it can be taped back without notice). If the dimensions you have measured are not exactly what they have, don't worry, it only has to be close, say +/- one inch. That applies mainly to the seat canvas width, which determines if you will be able to open the chair (too narrow) or the fabric will sag too much and possibly come out when sat in (too wide). So go ahead and order the directors chair replacement set (it will include the seat and back canvas and the sticks) and start thinking about where you are going to put your handsome new directors chairs. This might also be a good time to refinish the chair frame. If you do, be careful not to put finish in the slots where the canvas will go. When your package arrives, check your order for accuracy and then get the chairs ready for new canvas. Open the chair frame about half way open so you have slack to put the canvas on. Put the seat on first - by inserting the sticks in the fabric. Then, slide the seat evenly on both sides into the seat rail slot. Even up the front of the canvas with the chair front. If it is hard to go in, check that the sticks are not past the seams, if so, then cut the sticks off just inside the seams. You might have to get a smaller dowell (remember, the hardware store has these) if it is too large with the fabric. Once you have the seat in, slide the back canvas over the posts and leave about a half inch of post at the top. Next, open the chair all the way, pushing apart the seat rails, and then STEP ON THE BRACES TO PUSH THEM DOWN AND LOCK THEM INTO PLACE. I emphasize this because I get so many calls where the customer says the seat is too small, but in reality the chair is made so that the seat fabric locks the braces into place and everything is in tension. That is how you want the chair to be. The back will pull the armrests in so that they push down hard on the seat rails, keeping the canvas from coming out of the slots. You don't want the canvas coming out of the slot, or you will be on the ground. It also will most likely rip at the seams if the seat is not taunt. So, there you have it. Replacing the canvas on your directors chairs is a great way to be eco friendly, by reusing rather than discarding. Old chair frames can be found on Ebay, yard sales, estate sales, etc. When you find a frame, be sure that the joints are solid - that is the first place where a director chair will show wear. It won't be long before you are swaying back and forth, not good when you are in a tall directors chair, 30" off the ground. Good luck on refurbishing those old chairs and call me, the "Chairman", any time if you have questions. | 10% OFF THESE ITEMS

Frederic Mishkin, the Alfred Lerner Professor of Banking and Financial Institutions, was sworn in Tuesday as a governor of the Federal Reserve Board.
The Fed Board of Governors sets the nation's monetary policy and oversees banking and financial systems. Each governor serves a term of 14 years. "Professor Mishkin brings sharp intellect, insight and a deep understanding of complex economic issues," Dean Glenn Hubbard said. "He will make a significant contribution to the Fed in the years to come."
Mishkin is an expert on monetary policy and its effect on the economy and financial markets. From 1994 to 1997, he headed the research department of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and was an associate economist of the bank's Federal Open Market Committee. Mishkin is also an academic consultant to the New York Fed and has served as a visiting scholar at the Ministry of Finance in Japan and the Reserve Bank of Australia.
President George W. Bush nominated him on June 30. Mishkin has known Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke for more than 25 years. With two other coauthors, they wrote Inflation Targeting: Lessons from the International Experience (Princeton University Press, 1998).

i've got a gay friend who wants to set me up doing smoothie parties for his circle of friends, so many of which are into health/fitness/beauty... i think it's a brilliant idea... smoothie parties with a whole run of versions... some alcoholic, even. i taught a class last year on it & did pretty much that... just no cocktail versions.
Coconut oil scares me. Grew up with the cholesterol coconut oil horror stories...kind of seared into my brain. And then I found it in the (organic, of course) grocery store the other day. Frightening. Then again, I said the same thing about drinking spinach...
Well, we've talked about the live blackberry margaritas! Not sure I'd want to sully a good blackberry margarita with spinach, though. Got to draw a line somewhere. Reminds me of an (actually interesting) version of Tastefully Simple parties. Apologies to any reps out there...
no cholesterol issues... those studies were done using hydrogenated coconut oil, not the natural stuff. coconut oil actually helps stabilize cholesterol... research how it helps the thyroid & how that's connected to cholesterol use... fascinating subject. all my research & experience points to it being hands-down the healthiest fat out there...
i bet it would even more invigorating... and so fresh-tasting! of course, could make them go down a bit more easily... dangerous.
You may have me slightly beat. When I first moved into our house, I spaced and put a pizza box in the electric stove. Alarms went off shortly thereafter. That had never happened in the gas stoves I was used to using. Actually, my cooking is pretty good. I just hate doing it anymore.
No - but using the kitchen in my dorm freshman year of college, I did set off the fire alarms and everybody had to go outside. Twice. In one afternoon. The ironic thing was that I wasn't burning any food. The pans that they had down there were really old and something ended up smoking. Not my food, though. My food came out perfectly.
Fire drills were a favorite pastime of my freshman dorm-mates. Esecially in the wee hours of morning to see who was sleeping with whom. Males were highly suspected. We had a ridiculous amount of them.
OK, Samina, I think I've finally figured out the part of this concept that's hanging me up here...it's the "live" part, together with "green"...sounds vaguely amphibian. Still, I'm planning to try to find my blender this weekend and throw something together...no spinach, though...maybe mint leaves...yeah, that's the ticket.
I make these smoothies too, but add Spirulina, Dulse, Dinosaur Kale, Seaweed, anything green with the fruit. Haven't tried the coconut oil yet, but will this weekend. It helps me to have enough energy to (survive) dance practice 3-4 hours per day, when I used to feel really dranined after practicing that long.
Kermit in a blender? I would love to give this a try too (not poor Kermit - I mean some of Samina's recipes). Gotta get a more substantial blender, and get over the fact that spinach and arugula make my stomach churn.
ha... amphibian... very gross association... understandable if you're hung up for that reason. fyi, tho: spinach is far more neutral & "fresh"-tasting than mint..
Ha! I ran across an article on the BBC site the other day which mentioned some "health drink" or other which was basically blender-ized live frog. Plus some other stuff, but live frog was the main ingredient. Whole new meaning to "live green smoothies."
I'll vouch for that. You don't taste spinach--it just kind of mellows the other flavors somehow. And tastes...um...fresh, as Sam has insisted since the beginning.
Pubmed is the best place to check the "health giving" qualities of food. They gather real evidence either way, rather than relying on anecdotal evidence. An example, Broccoli actually does have cancer fighting properties which aren't destroyed by your digestive system. I'm not sure how well chlorophyll would compare to haemoglobin, but maybe I'm thinking of it from a functional/chemical point of view...
OK, I believe you...still gotta find that blender...I've moved several times in the past two years (long story) and most of my kitchen stuff is Lord-knows-where...or maybe I'll spring for a new one this weekend.

Competing directly with the Arai XD, Hornet DS combines both on-
and off-road features to create a helmet that should be at home
anywhere. Both the peak and visor are removable, meaning the Hornet DS
can work with goggles or at high speeds. Shoei anticipates dirt riders
will use the helmet on the way from home to trail, swapping the visor
for goggles when they arrive. Lacking the extreme ventilation of most
dedicated off-road helmets, this probably isn't practical. But like
the Arai, this could be the ultimate helmet for riding supermotos.

Quick Synopsis:
Django (Jamie Foxx) is a slave living in the Deep South after having been separated from his wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington). When Django is held for a slave auction, Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), a bounty hunter who poses as a dentist, frees Django from his vicious masters, the Speck brothers (James Remar and James Russo), and gives him the option of hunting down and killing the Brittle Brothers, a ruthless gang of killers whom only Django has seen. In return, Schultz will free Django from slavery completely and help rescue Broomhilda from the plantation of the charming but ruthless owner, Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio).
Django Unchained will be released next month and there's a lot of anticipation for the Tarantino production. The past year has been filled with a lot of discussion in regards to the subject matter (slavery); based on preliminary readings of the script, some theories on our end that Quentin Tarantino has a serious complex with race, and snippets we've seen from the trailers- we're bracing ourselves for a number of reasons:
1) Leonardo DiCaprio usually plays the nice, confused, tormented guy that you can't help but feel sorry for. This time things are going to be very different, with DiCaprio cast as a sadistic Mississippi plantation owner. Pretty sure he's trying the Denzel trick, to finally get that Academy Award.
2) We have an inkling Tarantino will use this as an opportunity to break his record for saying "dead nigger" at least as many times as possible in a 1 minute sequence, after setting the previous record in Pulp Fiction.
3) If you're unfamiliar with Tarantino's last film- Inglourious Basterds:
It tells the fictional alternate history of two plots to assassinate the Nazi Germany political leadership, one planned by a young French Jewish cinema proprietor (Laurent), and the other by a team of Jewish-American soldiers led by First Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt).
a. Inglourious Basterds has been recognized as a captivating and compelling theatrical examination of redemption- rewriting history in a way that we wish it was. We wonder if Django Unchained will successfully do the same as Tarantino has suggested the films are part of a "loose trilogy".
b. In Inglourious Basterds, Laurent, a young Jewish woman, completes the final redemptive act of killing most of Nazi Germany- including Adolf Hitler- we're a little apprehensive if Django Unchained will recognize the significance of Laurent herself being the agent that carries out the act. From what we've read at this point, Christopher Waltz will play a large role in Jamie Foxx's ability to locate and save his enslaved wife, leaving us doubtful if Django (the freed slave) will have the same agency as Laurent.
4) Kerry Washington. Based on readings of the script, it seems that there will be a lot of nudity in the film. We're waiting to see how/if it will escape the hypersexualization of the black female body.
Seriously, though. We're looking forward to watching this opening night, December 25th. Check out the trailer below.

NFL Divisional Playoffs First Reaction: Final 8 Proves Power Of PRD
By Kerry J. Byrne
Cold, Hard Football Facts Potentate of Pigskin (@footballfacts)
The statistical chaff was conveniently separated from the nourishing wheat of contenders in the wildcard round, especially when you analyze the NFL through the powerful prism of Passer Rating Differential.
- The Texans (No. 8 in PRD) caged the Bengals (No. 11), 19-13
- The Packers (No. 1) easily cut down the Vikings (No. 24), 24-10
- The Ravens (No. 12) embarrassed overvalued Andrew Luck and the Colts (No. 27), 24-9
- And the Seahawks (No. 2 in PRD) toppled the Redskins (No. 6), 24-14
It's all so predictably beautiful. If we suffered the weakness of human emotion, we would love it so.
With only real contenders remaining, it's time to start sizing up the divisional foes: Ravens-Broncos (4:30 p.m.) and Packers-49ers (8 p.m.) Saturday; then Seahawks-Falcons (1 p.m.) and Texans-Patriots (4:30 p.m.) Sunday.
No better way to do it than with PRD.
You probably know that we call Passer Rating Differential the Mother of All Stats.
After all, the NFL is a very simple game: you win when you win the battle of passing efficiency. Anyone who tells you otherwise is an ass.
Look at the Final 8 in the 2012 NFL season. They rank No. 1 (Green Bay), No. 2 (Seattle), No. 3 (Denver), No. 4 (San Francisco), No. 5 (Atlanta), No. 7 (New England), No. 8 (Houston) – notice a trend here folks? – and No. 12 (Baltimore) in Passer Rating Differential.
Hell, it works almost flawlessly at picking out the league's elite.
The only outlier is Baltimore, and at No. 12 in PRD the Ravens are barely outside the norm for Final 8 contenders.
And the only team in the Top 8 in PRD that failed to make the Final 8 of the 2012 season is Washington; and the Redskins had the misfortune of facing the late-surging Seahawks (No. 2 in PRD) in the wildcard round. Robert Griffin III's injury was also huge, of course. But Seattle won because it was the better team in the air.
Truth is that Passer Rating Differential is about the closest thing to statistical clockwork you'll find in football, and maybe in all of sports. Teams win games when they dominate the indicator: 218-37 (.855) in 2012 and 4-0 so far in the playoffs.
Teams win championships when they dominate the indicator, too: nearly 40 percent of all NFL champs since 1940 were No. 1 in PRD. More than 60 percent finished in the Top 3.
Needless to say, it's a very useful way through which to analyze two different teams. So, here's our first look at the divisional playoffs, using Passer Rating Differential as the vehicle through which to size up each team.
We'll have much more and deeper analysis over the rest of the week, including our aptly named Real And Spectacular Picks at CHFF Insider, where we size up every team in every game in 20 different Quality Stats and make our picks straight up and against the spread for every game: 4-0 in the wildcard round, including 3-1 against the spread.
The PRD numbers (below) include postseason for those four teams that played in the wildcard round. The graphs also include the updated PRD data.
Baltimore (+9.2) at Denver (+25.9)
The Ravens begin the season red-hot, dominating the Bengals 44-13 in Week 1. Naturally, they dominated the score because they dominated PRD (+60.4 that day). And naturally, they had to come back to Earth after that un-attainable high.
The Broncos also began the season with a big win, 31-19 over the Steelers. The domination in that victory also apparent in the graph below. But they trailed the Ravens in PRD through Week 6, before Denver beat up San Diego 35-24. Baltimore took a down turn in Week 7, when it was crushed 43-13 at Houston.
The Ravens have trailed the Broncos in PRD fairly consistently since that day. Denver enters the postseason +25.9 in PRD, No. 3 in the NFL and its best mark of the year. In other words, the Broncos right now are at their statistical peak.
The Ravens ticked up from +5.8 to +9.2 in the wake of its dominating wildcard win over the Colts.
Green Bay (+32.0) at San Francisco (+23.2)
Packers-49ers is clearly the statistical heavyweight battle of the divisional round, at least as measured by PRD (No. 1 vs. No. 4).
The season began poorly for Green Bay, against these very same 49ers. The Packers lost in San Francisco, 30-22, as Aaron Rodgers (30 of 44, 303 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT) was easily outplayed by Alex Smith (20 of 26, 211 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT).
Green Bay quickly recovered in Week 2 and has been No. 1 in PRD since mid-season, though the 49ers have been nipping at their heels like a little statistical yip-yip dog.
Carrying the animal metaphor much further than we should, the elephant in the room here is the 49ers quarterbacking situation. As you know, San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh replaced the hugely efficient Smith with Colin Kaepernick in Week 11.
The 49ers have still won, but the move has not exactly paid off in the all-important category of PRD: Smith had a higher completion percentage, average per attempt and passer rating than Tom Friggin Brady. His rating of 104.1 this season is nearly 6 points higher than Kaepernick's (98.3).
The 49ers were No. 2 in PRD (+29.0) before Alex Smith was injured and benched; they finished the season No. 4 in PRD (+23.2). Still good. Just not as good as it was. If the 49ers lose, it will be because of a narrow loss in the battle of passing efficiency, a battle that they easily won back in Week 1. Smith might have been the difference.
Seattle (+28.7) at Atlanta (+22.0)
We've been drinking the PRD Kool-Aid for a few years now. We've been drinking the Russell Wilson and Seahawks Kool-Aid since about mid-season. Hell, we said Russell Wilson was better than Andrew Luck back in Week 10, long before it was popular.
Today, Wilson is the last rookie QB standing and easily outperformed Luck in their first playoff games.
Both of our drinking problems will be put to the test when the 12-5 Seahawks, the late-surging No. 5 seed in the NFC, head down to Atlanta to face the 13-3, No. 1 seed Falcons.
Atlanta was the better team early in the season. Seattle is the better team right now.
You'll see that Atlanta has largely been on the decline since its very hot start to the season; the Seahawks have largely been on the rise since what now seems like an unbelievable 20-16 Week 1 loss to the Cardinals, a long time ago in a gridiron galaxy far away.
Their statistical paths finally crossed in Week 10, when rising Seattle surpassed falling Atlanta in PRD. The Seahawks head to Atlanta No. 2 in PRD and red hot. The Falcons are No. 5 in PRD. That's very good, too. But it's also well below the peak they played at early in the year.
This game, much like Seattle-Washington in the wildcard round, should be the most interesting of the week. We know the Seahawks are good enough to win. They are better than the Falcons in both Offensive Passer Rating (only slightly) and Defensive Passer Rating.
But does this team that's clearly better at home still have the horses to win on the road again after yet another cross-country trip? We will see.
Houston (+10.6) at New England (+10.7)
If Passer Rating Differential has predictive value, Texans-Patriots should be the tightest, most evenly contested battle of the divisional round. They are virtual statistical equals right now.
Sure, the Patriots dominated the first meeting, 42-14, in Week 14. Interestingly, it was that win that propelled New England past Houston in PRD for the first time all season.
But we all know that beatings at one point in the season do not usually lead to beatings again later in the season or in the postseason.
Look at the dominating 14-2 Patriots of 2010: they crushed the Jets, 45-3, in Week 13. A month later they were bounced out of the postseason by the very same Jets, 28-21, in the divisional round. The powerful, Super Bowl-caliber Patriots failed to win a single playoff game.
Generally speaking, the Patriots have been at their statistical best late in the season; the Texans generally declined from their early highs much of the year.
If momentum means anything, the Patriots have clearly been the better team down the stretch.

Long lines at the airport are generally something to complain about, but newlyweds Luke and Alexa Sieber of Green Bay aren't complaining.
If their line had been shorter at Frontier Airlines, they might have found themselves right in the middle of Friday morning's shooting at Los Angeles International Airport, which left one dead and at least a half-dozen injured, according to reports on Friday afternoon.
"We were arranging our luggage and printing off the boarding passes when we heard about eight shots," said Luke Sieber, 25. "You just duck and cover. You have a split second where you ...

text: The South Pole [312] 677-7140 ----------------------------- The Fine Art of Telesearching by Dragyn ----------------------------- First off, i'm sure we all know what telesearching is, if not don't read this article. Telesearching can be done many ways, depending on what type of hardware and software that you have. Some telesearching should be done by hand, while, the majority of it can be done by computer. Now you might say, 'why do it by hand?' . Well to answer this question we must first take a look at some of the nifty things that the phone company has hidden in it's vast multitude of cables and switches. In almost every exchange, there are test numbers. What these numbers are for, you got me. But some are interesting at that. Up until recently, you could call one of the local test numbers and chat with other people that had called the same number. But, ma bell, didn't like us using her lines to chat freely when we could pay her to do the conferences for us. (There are other reasons that they turned them off also.) But now when you call the numbers, no one else could get through, (i.E. Busy signal) on a few of the numbers you can call and if you listen real closely, you can sometimes hear people chatting away, and mf tones zapping all around. (Now, I wonder what one could hear if they hooked an amplifier up to their phone...) Most of these numbers can be found in any exchange ending with these four numbers: 4010/4011/4012/4098/. But remember they aren't always there! Needless to say, there are many neat li ttle numbers that cannot be found by a computer telesearcher. Another type of strange numbers that you find are the ones that have strange tones on the other end. Like the ones that sound like sirens or just a steady blast. Again, I would like to know what purpose these numbers serve as well as you. I have a few ideas, but they aren't worth your time. The best part of an exchange to search by hand is from 9800-9999. In this range, you will generally find special operators and stuff as such. But remember, most pay phones' last digit can be anywhere from 9000-9999. So, if someone answers rather strangely, it's probably a pay phone. Now, back to computer telesearching. Having your computer do all of the dialing is a great help, you can go to sleep, and wake up with a nice list of numbers to check out in he morning. However, to make this list more accurate, one should be aware of a few things. First: telesearching generally works best if you have your own phone line that doesn't get a lot of calls. The more calls that your phone receives , the less accurate your list could be. And if you ask why, here's why. When your computer finishes dialing a number, it has to hang up the phone, and in doing so, the line becomes free to let calls in. If someone calls you at this point, your computer (if it's dialer isn't very smart) will start dialing at them, and you will lose numbers that could be computers. But depending on the type of modem that you own, this can be overcome. Modems like that apple-cat and the DC Hayes can detect to see if there is the dial tone, and if not, they can hang up, and pick the phone up a few seconds later to see if it got a tone again. (Enuf of this) I have found that the best time to wait for a carrier is about 18 seconds depending on how long it takes your exchange to connect to the other. Some exchanges are very slow and you have to compensate for this in your dialer. The 18 seconds allows the phone to ring 3 times. (Most computers will answer after 1-2 rings, so the third is a safe ty one, unless you know of a computer that usually answers after more than th at, the 18 seconds is satisfactory. Now, where to look you might ask. Well, one thing to do is (if you have a particular company in mind) look up i t's phone number in the phone book and scan that exchange. What I have found as real handy, is the number/location list in the front of the phone book. Good places to search are downtown areas where there is a lot of businesses. I don't recommend scanning residential areas unless you are looking for something. Some people might say that telesearching is against the law. Well, for one thing, have you ever gotten a phone call from some computer that wanted to ask you some questions? Well, all these computers do all day long is dial numbers. Essentially, they are doing telesearching, however for something other than computers. If someone gives you trouble, tell them to phock off, since you aren't violating anyones' rights by calling them. They paid for that phone and you have as much right to call them as any jerk in the world. And I never heard of a law that said you couldn't call anyone in the middle of the night either. Now, what do you do that you have 69 zillion phone numbers? Well, de- pending on how interested you are, you could call every one to see if there is actually a computer there. But most of us aren't that dedicated if you have a whole mess of numbers. Now comes the part of identifying the numbers. You will probably find a lot of numbers that do nothing when you call them. This could be due to a lot of reasons. One could be that they have excellent security (boo). Or, you aren't in the right baud rate (i.e. 1200/300/110/ Etc . [ and some even run on a different ascii set.]). And there are the 'telex' type computers that are set up to receive data only. These carriers can usually be identified by typing ctrl-e (here-is msg). But remember, these systems record everything that you type! I could continue this article further, but somethings are best left unknown. The Dragyn #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#

All Is Not Quiet On the...
Has CRISPR/Cas9 Technology Forced the Question?
New Tools Are Driving Science even...
Assay Makers Study Markers by Marrying...
(Page 3 of 3)
It is known that the PI3 kinase gene has a pseudogene. Pseudogenes are believed to be relatives of functional genes due to their homology to real genes but lack of functionality compared to their relative, which has occurred over many evolutionary cycles. Pseudogenes occur as a result of two main processes: duplication and retrotransposition.
As natural selection affects individual genes, beneficial mutations in a gene that improve an organism's fitness tend to be preserved, whereas a sequence change that impairs a gene's function leads to it being discarded. As pseudogenes are classed as junk DNA and most commonly found in the intergenic regions, they are released from this selection pressure and are free to accumulate all kinds of mutations, including changes that would be deleterious to normal genes.
The activating mutations in the PI3 kinase oncogene promote cellular replication, so the cells bearing these mutations have a growth advantage whereas similar mutations in the pseudogene have no affect on cell fitness and viability.
In designing the ARMS and Scorpions primers for the PI3K assay, the pseudogene needed to be considered. In the region of mutations in exon 9 of the PI3 kinase gene, there is a high level of homolgy with the pseudogene making it difficult to design primers to selectively amplify the true gene over the pseudogene. The particular selectivity of ARMS allows specific yet sensitive amplification of only mutant variants of the true gene (Figure 3). In exon 20, the homology is much less significant and primer design to differentiate between true gene and pseudogene is less problematic.
DxS has designed an assay in kit form to detect the most common mutations seen in the PIK3CA gene that correlate with tumor progression in numerous types of cancer. Previously, an alternative method for detection of these mutations was sequencing, however, this technology has its limitations in that it is labor intensive and has a low sensitivity of 15–25%. The combination of ARMS and Scorpions technology in a real-time PCR assay has overcome the limitations of sequencing and the assay can detect down to 1% mutant in a background of wild-type DNA.
The PI3K-AKT pathway is an attractive target for anticancer therapies, and this assay allows detection of the most common mutations, which will aid in the development of targeted therapies for individuals affected by these cancers. Due to the presence of a pseudogene that shows a lot of homology with exon 9 of the PI3 kinase gene, ARMS and Scorpions primers have had to be specifically designed to ensure that they only detect the mutations seen in the actual gene and not the pseudogene. The DxS PI3K assay achieves this goal.
Do you think GMOs would be viewed more favorably if more attention was paid to the resulting product rather than the GMO technology used to produce it?

Viper 4105V Written By Robert, Raleigh, NC on Monday, February 23, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If you're looking for a basic remote start system, this is an excellent choice. It has a good range and is easy to use. The installation instructions from Viper are very basic, but Crutchfield will send you the wiring data for your specific vehicle. With that and a DVM, installation is easy. You need a good digital voltmeter; don't use an analog or you risk damaging your vehicle. Pros: Good performance, easy to fit under the dash, easy installation. Cons: Factory instructions are basic; you'll need Crutchfield's wiring diagram or one from the factory service manual.
product works great. It's a keyless entry system with remote start not Written By Jose G., los angeles, CA on Thursday, January 15, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It works as its supposed to. Just be clear that this is not an alarm and doesn't even have a blinking light bulb. Its a keyless entry system with remote start. It doesn't sound when you open the door. My mistake for not knowing that. Most cars now have an alarm on them already. This would be perfect for you. Pros: Brand recognition and it works. Cons: You need a profesional to install. I paid $175 to a guy close by. Should of got an integrated alarm.

Great product, Great Crutchfield price Written By anm45248, Ohio on Sunday, December 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great price fora great Viper system with FLASHCAN with it already programmed. Pros: It is all that we wanted for my sons car to have a remote start and power door lock & unlock. I have not installed it yet, that will be the day after Christmas but I have already recieved a lot of help and tech support from the folks at Chrutchfield.com. They sent me links, literatuture and phone assistance for when I install it. I am ready! Cons: None yet
Awesome Written By Shane B, Covington, OH on Sunday, November 16, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great product. Not too difficult to install. Covers all of the factory functions plus some. Love it. Pros: Does everything you need. Reliable. A lot of different program options to fit any application. Cons: Paperwork included is horrible.

Viper 4105V Written By Sam, New York, NY on Friday, March 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great upgrade. The remote start and the keyless entry is a huge plus. Thank you! Pros: Remote Start Keyless Entry Cons: Nothing at all
Review on Viper 4105V Written By Serge, Tularosa, NM on Friday, February 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm very pleased with my new alarm start system. It works very well to keep my car audio equipment safe from vandals. Pros: It's a lot easier to start my car specially if I'm in a hurry to go out and run errands or if I'm running late for classes at my university. Cons: On certain days my alarm gets stuck and won't go back to normal settings,so I have to take it in to get checked out.
Great Remote Starter Written By Mark G., Denver CO on Tuesday, February 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great remote starter. I purchased the Viper 4105 V remote starter to replace a unit I had installed years ago in my fathers truck that the remotes quit working on. Pros: Cruthfield's customer service and tech support is by far worth every penny to purchase the product from them instead of anyone else. I was able to contact them on a Sunday for technical help and we were able to work through my issues without any problem. The called me back to follow up to see if I had any other questions. Cons: Instructions are a bit vague on where to connect some of the wires. But I believe that to be the case with any remote starter or alarm system. DIY installers need to have a good knowledge of automotive electronics on how things work in order to install, including a wiring schematic of your vehicle. Crutchfield did offer a schematic for my vehicle.
Viper Model 4105V Written By Dino, Pennsylvania on Saturday, January 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Worth every penny!Paid for itself last week when it was minus 7.
Remote Start Written By Greg, Dover, NH on Tuesday, December 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very difficult setup and no install instructions come with this product. A professional is needed to install.

COLUMBIA — On Saturday morning, Randy Santel had two protein shakes and a gallon of water. The night before, he had 12 pounds of watermelon.
It was all a part of the strategy.
Saturday, Santel, a food-challenge enthusiast, set out to be the first person to conquer the Hail Mary Challenge at Stadium Grill at Stadium Boulevard and College Avenue.
"We've had over 100 people attempt this in the one and a half years we've been open, including MU trainers, high school kids and a wrestler," Ron Coleman, managing partner at Stadium Grill said.
No one has succeeded.
The Hail Mary Challenge requires the challenger to eat a burger with five pounds of meat, topped with bacon, pulled pork, three cheeses, onion straws and fried eggs, served with a pound of fries. Time limit: One hour. If the challenger wins, Stadium Grill pays for the meal, names it after the challenger and rewards them with a $50 gift certificate every month for one year or until they are dethroned.
Santel, a 24-year-old concrete estimator from Overland Park, Kan., has won 49 different food challenges since he began eating competitively in March 2010. He recently completed Lee Street Deli's Wall of Flame Challenge. He had only lost three times, until Saturday.
"I hate losses, but hopefully one day I'll be back," Santel said.
Ten minutes into the challenge, Santel had finished all of the toppings, leaving him with just the beef patties, bun and fries. Twenty minutes in, just half of a beef patty, the bun and fries remained. At 30 minutes, half of the bun and fries still sat on the tray. He began to slow down, taking smaller bites and more time to chew. He sifted through the fries, picking them up and dropping them. He was finished.
Santel came closer to finishing than any competitor before him, according to Coleman. The food weighed in at 6.9 pounds at the beginning of the challenge, and when Santel stopped eating, one pound and two ounces remained.
"It was big, but maybe I've been doing too many challenges," Santel said, regarding the elasticity of his stomach.
Going into the challenge, Santel had plans to donate his winnings to the Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri. Despite the loss, Stadium Grill still donated $600 in gift cards to the food bank.
"We are just thrilled he wanted to do this for us," Bobbie Kincade, director of development at the Food Bank for Central and Northeast Missouri, said. "He's a celebrity at the Food Bank and he doesn't even know it."

Chapter 9: Enhancing Motivation and Affect
Online Lesson Contents |
Objectives |
Upon completion of this section the learner will:
Go to Part 2- Summary of Ideas
2: Summary of Ideas
Motivation refers to the degree to
which students desire to succeed in school. Affect refers to
the students' emotional mood and personal
Motivation and affect are extremely important variables
that can make the difference between success and failure in
the classroom. Many students with special needs may benefit
particularly from strategies to enhance motivation and
affect. Before implementing specific strategies to enhance
motivation and affect, ensure that the necessary
preconditions have been met. These preconditions include
creating a supportive, well-organized classroom environment;
assigning tasks that are meaningful, concrete, relevant, and
of the appropriate difficulty level; and creating
task-oriented, rather than ego-oriented, classrooms, in
which students are reward for effort and improvement, rather
than for static variables such as "ability." Motivation and affect can be improved by engaging in
practices to improve students' self-esteem, such as
providing positive statements, assigning classroom
responsibilities, and use of classroom peers. Self-efficacy is an important determiner of positive
motivation and affect. Students succeed, and believe they
will be successful, when provided with additional practice,
advance organizers, appropriate social models, and positive
support. Students' motivation and affect improve when they
participate in setting goals for themselves and assist in
monitoring their progress toward meeting these goals.
Contracts and parent involvement can also contribute to
personal goal-setting. Students feel more in control when they learn to
attribute their classroom successes or failures to their own
behaviors, such as appropriate effort, attitude, or
academic/behavioral strategy use. Students can appropriately
take credit when they succeed, and identify strategies for
improvement when they fail, when they make appropriate
attributions. Students feel more ownership in the classroom when they
participate in decision making involving classroom rules and
procedures. Use a variety of techniques to receive input
from students, and implement positive and helpful
suggestions whenever possible. Students are more motivated to learn when learning is fun
and interesting. Use a variety of approaches, media,
game-like activities, and peer interactions to prevent
classroom learning from becoming monotonous and routine.
Express personal enthusiasm in the subjects being covered,
and teach with enthusiasm! Students are motivated to learn when their
accomplishments are acknowledged and rewarded. Use positive
feedback and praise frequently to demonstrate your positive
regard for students' accomplishments. Use rewards, in the
form of prizes, privileges, or tokens, when needed to
acknowledge achievement and maintain persistence of
