Both my son and son in-law use this and only this. The scent lasts forever, they think it wears off but it doesn't it is still there when the clothes go into the wash.

I purchased this cologne for my boyfriend last year as a b-day gift. I had smelled chrome in a store once, the rep suggested legend to me, but they were out of the scent, she thought I would really enjoy the scent. So naturally, I blindly bought the scent online, and I couldn't have been more happy. This scent is AMAZING! I am at a loss for words on how to describe it... he received tons of compliments from other women, but it didn't bother me at all. Every time he wore this scent, my brain went straight to sex.

Cat Asthma
Asthma attack in cats is commonly caused by an allergic reaction to particulate matters in the air, although it can also happen spontaneously with no apparent cause. Over-stimulation of the respiratory tract causes excessive mucus secretion and airway constriction, which will in turn cause difficulties in breathing. It is a chronic, progressive disease that cannot be fully cured; however, long term management is possible, and cats affected by asthma can live normal, healthy lives with ongoing treatment. An acute asthmatic attack has the potential of being fatal and must be treated immediately.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
In milder cases there may only be a chronic, low grade cough, and the animal may show no other signs of breathing difficulty. More severe symptoms include wheezing, labored breathing, excessive coughing, and intolerance to exercise. Other signs of breathing difficulty are: breathing with an open mouth, and excessive movement of the abdominal area when breathing. Main means of diagnosis include presence of the above symptoms, radiographs, and a response to steroid therapy.
Asthma can be difficult to diagnose in cats, and is sometimes over-diagnosed. There are also other diseases that can cause similar respiratory symptoms, such as heartworm, lungworm, and heart diseases; these must be ruled out first before a veterinarian can be sure of the asthma diagnosis.
In severe, acute attacks, a small dose of epinephrine or other airway dilators can be administered via injection to relax the constricted airway. If the animal is indeed suffering from asthma, there will be immediate improvement to the animal's ability to breath after steroid injection. To manage the illness on a long term basis, corticosteroid medications such as prednisone are used to relieve the airway inflammation. The medication usually comes in pill form, which must be administered orally; for cats that do not tolerate oral medication, it can also be administered through an inhaler. Feline asthmatic inhalers are a relatively recent development; they include a small face mask which ensures that the cat will breathe in the medicine, and are a very effective alternative to oral medication. It is also possible to administer the medication by injection; this is usually done periodically, especially when the cat is currently experiencing respiratory difficulty. Injection has the advantage of being longer-acting, and might be more convenient for owners if daily administration of medication is impossible.
Much like asthma in humans, feline asthma has the potential of being lethal if ignored. Nevertheless, long term management can minimize the impact of the disease on the animal's daily life. Cats are also more tolerant to long term corticosteroid therapy, and are less affected by steroid side effects; therefore, asthmatic cats generally have a very favorable prognosis and have a normal life expectancy.

The thumb loops warm your hands while also keeping sleeves in place while pulling another layer over top.

people who are cold should have one of these on throughout the winter months. It keeps my neck warm and I feel just cozy all over when I've got this on. Super piece of gear that doesn't stink after a couple of weeks of wear. It is Awesome!
I love this product from Icebreaker. I have several of their other products, all really good, but this is my favorite. I have it in 2 colors, a light grey and a dark grey. I have had one for several months and liked it so much I purchased another. They are comfortable in a wide range of temperatures. I wear them at leisure and for exercise. Unlike synthetics they don't hold odors, so they can go a while without washing. ( I have 2 so I always have one clean) I like them better than my cotton T's because when wet and sweaty they still function to keep me warm.
This was the first Icebreaker product I bought, but I love Merino wool and the hefty discount made me decide to give it a try. I am about 5'8" 150 lbs and I got a medium. It fits like a glove, very warm and versatile. The loop holes in the sleeves are great and seem very durable. All in all it is a great shirt, very comfortable.

I love icebreaker. I own several garments that are awesome. This has everything you love about icebreaker. Comfortable, warm, can wear it forever before my wife tells me I'm disgusting but it's too short in the body. I think I'm proportioned normally. Wearing a pack it consistently rides up. Running a chainsaw it leaves my lower back exposed. That sucks. Try a different style if you'll if you'll be wearing a pack or bending over.
I'm actually wearing it right now as I write this review. This thing is the best. The zip-up turtle neck does wonders for when the wind is blowing or you need that little bit of extra warmth. The thumbholes are AWESOME for layering other things. This thing NEVER smells and is the warmest piece of clothing I own. Also, climbing in this is a breeze - I can work on a hard V4-V5 and still be completely dry due to the wicking effect this has.
The good: Soft and comfy, looks good, and very flexible. It won't keep you very warm when worn alone, but for the thickness it has, it's pretty impressive when you pair it with a soft shell or something else on top.The bad: You can't put it in the dryer or it shrinks. Some people might not mind this, but I really hate not being able to use a clothes dryer. It's dusty as hell where I am at so if I hang it out to dry, it just gets dirty again which defeats the purpose of washing it. But if your circumstances permit and you aren't bothered by this, then I recommend this shirt.ACONCAGUA STATUS
Like everything I have purchased from Icebreaker, the 260 Zip is an impressive garment. I use these shirts mainly for aerobic activities such as cycle spinning, step class, and most of all - cycling/touring. The wool doesn't develop stench nor itch. The quality is unsurpassed. I even wear these shirts casually. Being in Grand Forks (and Spoons), North Dakota, these shirts help keep the soul nice warm, especially when the temperatures hit -65 F.My only complaint is the actual size of the garment. I am 5' 9" (~ 180 lbs) and I choose to wear the 2XXL because of the torso length. The sleeves tend to be quite long as a result. I wish there was a XL-long option. I like me shirts long & baggy.
You don't have to worry about this shirt not fitting you without having tried it on. I normally wear a Large, and the Large fits me perfectly. I have just gotten it and haven't had time to get it drenched in sweat, but thus far it is very comfortable, no tag on the neck to scratch you, nice and soft. I would like to emphasize that this is a "base layer" and will not keep you very warm on a cold day by itself. The wind cuts right through it, so it is good for when you are being physically active in the cold, but not for just hanging out unless you are in the sun and its only just "cool" outside.ACONCAGUA STATUS

JON CARDINELLI reports that a 42-3 victory against Griquas has allowed the Sharks to finish the Currie Cup league in first place.
The Sharks went into this match having already secured a home semi-final. And yet, John Plumtree will be thrilled to have ended the league phase with such a resounding victory.
Friday's result at the Shark Tank will see them taking plenty of momentum into the play-offs. It also places them in a strong position to host the Currie Cup final.
They cannot be overtaken by the other play-off contenders, and if they can win next week's semi-final, they'll feel confident that they can go all the way in a decider staged at Kings Park.
Griquas struggled to match the Sharks' physicality in Friday's match, and were guilty of too many basic errors. They were mistakes the Sharks punished, scoring 15 points inside the first half hour. It was a barrage from which Griquas did not recover.
The visitors had a chance to strike back when Sharks captain Keegan Daniel was sin-binned for cynical play in the 31st minute. But again, Griquas failed to hold on to the ball, handing possession back to the Sharks.
In fact, it was the Sharks who would score next despite the disadvantage, Lwazi Mvovo finishing to further stretch a commanding lead.
Griquas suffered a further setback when wing Jannie Boshoff was yellow-carded for a spear-tackle right before half-time. Pat Lambie failed with the ensuing penalty attempt, but managed to convert a subsequent opportunity after the break.
Lambie played a telling part in two of the Sharks' three first-half tries. A well-weighted grubber created a try-scoring chance for Louis Ludik, as did an inside ball to Mvovo.
The Sharks flyhalf kicked well out of hand, and was successful with seven of his nine kicks at goal. It was an all-round performance that will boost Lambie's confidence ahead of the play-offs, and also give national coach Heyneke Meyer food for thought ahead of that end-of-year tour to Europe.
Special mention should also be made of the Sharks' defence. Once Griquas were more than two scores behind, they began kicking every penalty opportunity to touch. And on every occasion, the Sharks defence managed to hold out.
Griquas' failure to secure any log points from this fixture means that they will remain in fourth position below Western Province. There is a chance, however, that Griquas will be overtaken by the Cheetahs and Blue Bulls on Saturday.

To cross the boundaries of "self" is to lose an "I".
Nothing wrote:To cross the boundaries of "self" is to lose an "I".
yes, this is correct. self = I. As long as the person is trapped within oneself, the person does not see itself
oushi wrote:That is why I'm asking about boundaries. No matter how deluded into view of "self" one is, he still will hit the problem of finding the boundaries of self. If chair is not "I" then by totally dedicating my mind to the chair, all consequences of no-self should appear. But the thing is, it is not the case. Why? Because "I" is everything that is experiences, and everything experienced is all there is.
Saying that "this is me" and "this ain't me" is simply not true. People just accepted this mistake, and continued.
Every activity of the external world presents itself as an electrical impulse to our brain. Then it is projected into this diversity of appearances. There is not even one person that perceived green or red, all are creations of the mind. Actually, there is nothing that we experienced as it is, everything is projection of the mind, and this projection is nothing but the mind. How then can we find in it something that is not it? What happens when we go against this mind by stating that "I don't like this", "I hate this"? We go against ourselves, and this hatred, or whatever it is, is reflected back like an echo. When I hit someone, not only do I hit an physical being (still don't know that), but I hit myself projecting that person and there is always response in a form of feelings.
We identify ourselves with this "I" within external world. But:
"Don't you understand that the one who made the inside is also the one who made the outside?"
oushi wrote:To cross the boundaries of "self" is to lose an "I". Where are those boundaries, have you ever been selfless? If moon is not "I", I should be able to loose the self, just by watching the moon. I cannot lose myself, because I would be in that place in which I got lost. In other words, If by watching the moon I lost myself, I shouldn't be seeing the moon, because I am not there. But I see the moon.... even when I'm completely absorbed by looking, and not aware of "self" as separate entity inside the body. So, self is always present, as a body, mind, act, or... moon. There is nothing that is not "I", and if something is everything, it cannot be something. There is completely no difference between no self, and self, and both are redundant.
You can say, there is no I, or everything is I, no difference.
Nothing wrote:Am not sure if one who is deluded will actually find the boundaries of the self without proper attention in a view of seeking for it in the first place.
Nothing wrote:This is where the real interest lies, the old "I" now crossed will discover a new "I".
The old "I" is not real and the new "I" is real, they are opposites, black and white if you like. Both "I"s have opposite actions too.
Nothing wrote:When you say "inside" and "outside", am assuming you mean the old "I" and new "I" above.....then yes, this would be correct.
These are two sides of the same coin.....which means.....there is another level higher?.....thoughts?
Quiet Heart wrote:Once you do cross the barrier somehow, you can look back at that barrier....it's still there...but now that you're past it, that's no longer important.

Quiet Heart wrote:Once you do cross the barrier somehow, you can look back at that barrier....it's still there...but now that you're past it, that's no longer important.
Poetic, but without sense… unless you are talking about some other barrier. Once you do cross the barrier of "I", you can look back?
Quiet Heart wrote:The illusionary nature of that "I/Self and Not I/Other" devide...even though it seems to exist in the "real world" of "forms and illusions" was a barrier I had to pass to make any progress.
Once again, "I" cannot pass the barrier of "I". It can extend it, but not pass.
oushi wrote:No one will find the boundaries, no one did find them. That's the whole point.
oushi wrote:First of all, "not real" things does not exist. You don't fall into delusion that you have an elephant in your ear. So the only "I", as you call it, is perfectly fine where it is. Same goes for new "I". Nothing disappears, nothing appears.
oushi wrote:That was a quote from Gospel of Thomas. Inside is built out of experience that arises inside the body (feelings, thoughts, etc.) and outside is the external world. Inner and outer self. That external world doesn't simply happen to us, it needs to be projected. That which is experiences as the outer world, is the "new I", which has always been there. While deluded, we discard it as something alien, not a part of us. They are not opposites, they are one, and should be treated as one presence before the mind. Not mind, and nothing but the mind. Now, does this make sense?:
Jesus said, "If two make peace with each other in a single house, they will say to the mountain, 'Move from here!' and it will move."

Yes, yes we do.
In all fairness though, thought X was alright tonight, grabbed some tough boards, hit his foul shots and played hard on defense. Yes Ginobili got tricky on him twice with steals but thats Ginobili. Also he was on the floor during the comeback, really over seeing Dominic Mcguire stealing minutes from X, Miller and Austin
Stephen Howell is a cyborg with speech glitches. No real human's jaws can be that square.
I wish we can fast forward to the Lottery, so we can see where we pick, this offseason should be fun.
And honestly, I like what I see from the Hornets so far... I didnt expect us to be a playoff team or anything yet, we lost a lot of good NBA players that were good at winning now
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks
RIP HunnyB
This fits HunnyB/FlyGirl so well- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyzTiSEfM00
Great game tonight - I missed the ending but was encouraged to see the perfect result yet again - close, hard fought loss on the road v's a quality opponent.
We're now solidly in 3rd place for most lottery ping pong balls. No real Hornets fan could be upset about this loss. I challenge you to question whether or not you're looking out for your own selfish needs, or for the best long-term interests of this franchise. There is no reason for true "fans" to root for meaningless wins at this point, and I think that those of you who pretend to be "anti-tank" need to rethink whether or not your'e in this for your own selfish interests, or whether you're in this for the long haul and for the best interests of the NBA in New Orleans.

I really get a bit tired of the real fans stuff. I mean i can understand hating to see the team lose and all that and i respect everyones beliefs in getting this team good. I don't think it makes me a better or worse fan if i want this team to lose some games because it would help the future if we were able to land some good picks and i don't see how you can classify that as being a "bad fan". People who go the games, and coaches and teams all know this we are young and going to lose because we aren't experienced. I imagine even if i did go to the games i wouldn't feel so different because the bottom line is we all want the same thing, to be good one day. So i wish you guys would stop calling each other on this stuff because what good does it do anyway? We can all choose to be a fan in our own ways.

So rooting for your team to lose make you a real fan? Huh? Who's to say a top lottery pick will help the team land a great player? I always say this but the Clipps spent years in the lottery and they still sucked. I guess I'm just old school but I'd rather see the team win.
this team can't win with Vazquez. show me all the stats you want, I've seen enough game footage to know.
He refuses to make the simple passes or just swing around the perimeter. He dribbles the air out of the ball and takes 2-3 picks to look for a roll to Lopez or a last second dish to a 3 point shooter to take a rushed shot. I see this far too much. He misses AD wide open far too often and he can't push the ball or move quick enough to beat his man. He needs to go. I'd feel very comfortable with Rivers at the 1 when Gordon comes back because he'd most likely play off the ball but I even think Roberts executes the offense better although he's also guilty of killing too much clock dribbling in place, but his mid range game and basketball IQ is much better than GV's
We need FA's buddy. Tanking our balls off is not going to help us that much. Acting like your a true fan bc you want the team to lose is absurd. Im not sure id like to end up 14th seed, but i would like to see our team win some games (especially against the spurs). If we arent improving we are just the next Sacramento.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine the cause of calcium imbalances; to evaluate parathyroid function; to diagnose and differentiate between primary, secondary, and tertiary hyperparathyroidism; to diagnose hypoparathyroidism; during surgery for hyperparathyroidism to confirm removal of the gland(s) causing the problem
When to Get Tested?
When calcium blood levels are higher or lower than normal; when you are having surgery for hyperparathyroidism; when your health practitioner wants to determine how well your parathyroid glands are functioning
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
Current practices do not require fasting.
PTH levels peak during sleep hours and are lowest during mid-morning to late afternoon hours, the period when most samples are drawn. There may be seasonal fluctuations in PTH due to its inverse relationship with vitamin D. Talk to your health practitioner about sample timing.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) helps the body maintain stable levels of calcium in the blood. It is part of a feedback loop that includes calcium, PTH, vitamin D, and, to some extent, phosphorus (phosphate) and magnesium. Conditions and diseases that disrupt this feedback loop can cause inappropriate elevations or decreases in calcium and PTH levels and lead to symptoms of hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia. This test measures the amount of PTH in the blood.
PTH is produced by four button-sized parathyroid glands that are located in the neck behind the thyroid gland. Normally, these glands secrete PTH into the bloodstream in response to low blood calcium levels. The hormone works in three ways to help raise blood calcium levels back to normal:
- PTH promotes the release of calcium from bones into the bloodstream.
- It stimulates the kidneys to convert vitamin D from the inactive to the active form, which in turn increases the absorption of calcium from food in the intestines.
- It acts on the kidneys to suppress the excretion of calcium in the urine while encouraging excretion of phosphorus.
As calcium levels begin to increase in the blood, PTH normally decreases.
Parathyroid hormone itself is composed of 84 amino acids (sometimes called PTH (1-84)). Intact and fragmented hormone is present in and secreted by the parathyroid gland. The intact hormone represents a smaller fraction, but its portion is increased when calcium levels are low and decreased when calcium levels are high.
Once released into the blood stream, PTH has a very short life span; levels fall by half in less than 5 minutes due to uptake and cleavage in the liver and kidneys. The fragments are referred to as C-terminal fragments and are variably sized, missing anywhere from 6 amino acids to more than half the N-terminal portion of the molecule. C-terminal fragments have a longer half-life, exist in much higher concentrations, and are eventually cleared by the kidneys. Although it was originally thought that the C-terminal fragments were inactive, it now appears that certain fragments may have biologic activities that are able to oppose those of intact PTH.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Current practices do not require fasting.
PTH levels peak during sleep hours and are lowest during mid-morning to late afternoon hours, the period when most samples are drawn. There may be seasonal fluctuations in PTH due to its inverse relationship with vitamin D. Talk to your health practitioner about sample timing.

What's your damage? Discover the Triple Threats that cause it, get the length you deserve and 3x stronger hair with Triple Repair. Get the Healthy Style How-To's, so you can mend your split ends and get to healthy, longer hair now.
Hair isn't heatproof. So when you style with high heat, the moisture in the hair shaft can overheat, causing it to "boil." This "bubble hair" can then lead to breakage, and make hair brittle, rough and dull.
Use a protective Leave-In Treatment, and ensure that hair is completely dry before applying heat to avoid "bubble hair."
Work in small sections so you don't have to re-curl (i.e., re-heat) sections that fall flat.
Wrap hair around the iron away from your face. Hold for less than 5 seconds with 275-325°F heat to mitigate damage.
Give it a natural look by gently running your fingers through from mid-shaft to ends.
Be sure to give hair an occasional break from hot tools — and give your natural texture some time to shine.
Before you reach for that hot tool, make sure your hair's heat-protected. Work Triple Repair Fortifying Leave-In Treatment into dry hair,and get over 400°F of styling protection.
Sam Leonardi is a globally recognized hair stylist who has worked with everyone from actresses, to musicians, to the biggest fashion brands in the world.
Sam's philosophy? Beautiful style starts with strong, healthy hair. So he has teamed up with us to do some damage control with a stylish spin.
Healthier, longer hair starts with Neutrogena® Triple Repair Hair Care, the breakthrough system that helps repair damaged hair by reducing breakage by 80%, instantly leaving hair stronger, smoother, and more nourished.* Get
stronger, healthier, more beautiful hair, without losing a bit of length.
Plus, the Fortifying Leave-In Treatment protects hair from heat styling over 400°F, so you can stop worrying about damage, and get the healthy, beautiful style you want.
"The first day I used Neutrogena® Triple Repair Hair Care…my ends felt like HAIR — and not straw. I didn't think that was possible without cutting it off."
Amy T., Tucson, AZ
"The first time I used [Triple Repair] I couldn't believe what a difference it made in the texture of my hair. It made my hair feel soft and shiny and helped mend my split ends…"

Men's Soccer Ends Season with 0-0 Draw at Lees-McRae; Bobcats Advance 3-2 in PK's
November 6, 2010
NEWLAND, N.C. - Freshman goalkeeper Thomas Rusling (Sheffield, England) made a pair of tremendous saves in a penalty kick shootout Saturday after the Bobcats played to a scoreless draw with fifth-seeded Pfeiffer University at MacDonald Stadium on the campus of Avery County High School. Lees-McRae (12-4-3) outshot the Falcons (4-7-6) by a 31-3 margin on the day, including a 14-0 advantage in the second half as Pfeiffer was forced to play with 10 men for the final 55 minutes of the match.
Lee Squires (Sheffield, England) paced the Bobcats with seven shots, while James Galvani (High Wycombe, England) and David Palmer (Gateshead, England) chipped in six and five attempts, respectively.
Both sides have multiple scoring chances throughout the initial 90 minutes, as Pfeiffers Alex Moreno (Huntersville, N.C.) recorded 10 saves to keep the Falcons in the match. Rusling made a pair of stops for the Bobcats.
Neither team could find the back of the net through 90 minutes of regulation, as well as each period of extra time, to send the match into a penalty kick shootout. Sam Kennedy (The East End, London, England) and Palmer both converted their attempts to open the shootout, while Pfeiffers Alex Landim (Brockton, Mass.) and Boo Tesh (Kannapolis, N.C.) found the back of the net in the second and third rounds to send the shootout into the fourth round even at 2-2.
Jamie Bladen (Yorkshire, England) delivered what turned out to be the deciding strike in the fourth round, burying his attempt in the back of the net to put the Bobcats up 3-2. Rusling stepped in and made two of the biggest saves of his young career, stopping the Falcons fourth and fifth attempts to propel the Bobcats into the final.

Many detractors of atheism like to point to the Holocaust as evidence of the immorality of atheists.
But the first Holocaust to ever take place in mainland Europe was the genocide of the Armenian Christian people by the Ottoman Turks.
This mass slaughter was observed by German onlookers who noted the use of cattle trucks to help make things easy, and was carried out by the Sultans and their Muslim warriors in the name of Islam.
One and a half million people died (in one estimate).
It's hard to believe that something like this could go unnoticed by Christians.
Being a theist did not stop those men from killing and inspiring Hitler.

The big plant
Just five days now until the big planting week which will take place all over the UK as part of the Spring Bulbs for Schools investigation! I do hope the weather is kind to us!
Six and a half thousand pupils will plant bulbs as the 1st step in this exciting climate investigation.
English and Welsh schools will be planting on the 21st of October and Scottish schools on the 25th.
To all of you planting:
- Remember to make your labels before you plant!
- Please read this before Planting your bulbs to ensure a fair-test!
- Please send me or Tweet me pictures of your class planting to use in this blog.

Good luck bulb buddies!
Professor Plant
An experiment of bulbous proportions!
Hi! I'm Professor Plant and I'd like to welcome the six and a half thousand young scientists across the UK that are taking part in the Spring Bulb for Schools Investigation this year!
Twelve thousand bulbs will be planted and monitored as part of this long term climate investigation being co-ordinated at Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales. If there was a world record for the most people planting bulbs simultaneously, (in several locations) we could smash it!
All the bulbs have been counted up by our fantastic volunteers (see the pics) and are steadily being delivered to the 150 schools across the country. I'd like to welcome each an every pupil and teacher who will be working on this project!
- Take a look at the map to see where the bulbs are being sent across the UK
- If you haven't already received my letter please follow this link
- Before each bulb is planted, each pupil must also adopt their bulb and promise to care for it. If you want to know how see this link
If you are wondering where the bulbs came from and how they got to your school - please read then read on y friend Baby Bulb is going to explain:
"My bulb buddies and I come from a nursery plantation in Manorbier, near Tenby in Wales, it's called 'Springfields'. We didn't spring from the fields, but we were picked and loaded onto a van ready to go to our new homes. At first I was a little afraid, but then when I met Professor Plant at the Museum I understood that I would be cared for by a nice young person and that I have an important job to do. We have all been selected to help us understand how the weather can affect when my friends and I make flowers. My parents before me grew here too, Springfields have been growing us 'Tenby Daffodils' for about 25 years, and we are one of the two daffodils that are native to the British Isles".
Just a few weeks until planting now! I can't wait!

A Window into the Industry Collections - May 2015

Both Texas A&M and the University of Missouri have acclaimed veterinary colleges, and the two schools have frequently collaborated on work involving animals. A current project could have a huge impact on the beef industry.
James Womack, the W.P. Luse Endowed and Distinguished Professor in Texas A&M's College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, has partnered with Missouri colleague Jerry Taylor to work on a five-year grant to study bovine respiratory disease, commonly called BRD. It is a $9.2 million project to find ways to prevent the disease and funding comes from the Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
For cattle owners, BRD is major threat "" it is the leading cause of disease in beef and dairy cattle and it annually causes losses approaching $1 billion in the cattle industry.
"It's a disease that can really be devastating for ranchers," Womack says of the project. "It can sometimes be fatal, but the overall lack of production from cattle that have the disease is often the biggest concern.
"It is the No.1 health problem in the cattle industry. It affects about 10 percent of the cattle in the country, so when you consider all of the millions of cattle in the United States, it results in numbers that are staggering."
Womack says he and Missouri's Taylor will look at the disease from a genetic viewpoint and examine the causes of BRD, and will do DNA testing on at least 6,000 cattle.
"We'll take DNA samples from cattle that have the disease, and also from those that don't," Womack explains. "Then we'll look at variations on over 700,000 genomes and do a comparative study. We have known for years that individual cattle vary in their response to the pathogens that cause BRD and that much of that variation is genetic.
"We hope this project will be a model for the power of cooperation of research and educational institutions and animal industries to make basic discoveries, train professionals in the application of these discoveries, and to translate this new knowledge into economic gain along with improved animal health and welfare."
Texas A&M and Missouri are key partners in the project, but other schools, such as Washington State, UC-Davis, New Mexico State, Colorado State and Wisconsin are also involved in the work.
"Partnering with Missouri and these schools has been excellent for all concerned," Womack adds. "We are proud to be associated with the Missouri team and Jerry Taylor and their outstanding work."
Taylor holds the Wurdack Chair in Animal Genomics at the University of Missouri.
Womack adds that Texas and Missouri are also collaborating on another cattle grant, this one also from the Department of Agriculture, totaling $5 million to study feed efficiency in cattle. The study will focus on specific bacteria that reside in the stomach of cattle and how these aid in food digestion.

In Edmonds, it's a dog party!
Under the right circumstances, man's best friend is a party animal

The group, a mix of friends, family and co-workers from Builders Exchange of Washington in Everett, got all their dogs together to celebrate a first birthday for two of them, Miss Dizzy and Mr. Marbles. Go to HeraldNet.com to view a photo gallery of Saturday's party.
Dorothy Moore, the Dining Dog owner, said it is pretty amazing, and she was right about that. She said the dogs all sit politely around the table; then she serves them. The dogs tend to leave their territorial nature at the door when they come here, she said.
Moore is one busy dog lover. From a shop at home, she is a full-time dog groomer, offering baths and haircuts, but also facials, hot oil treatments and teeth brushing. She provides room service for dogs at Willows Lodge in Woodinville. She does fundraising. She bakes and sells ice cream and cake and at several locations. "My life is 24/7 dogs," she says, with genuine affection in her voice.
Moore began the Dining Dog in 2005. She makes all the food to offer four-course meals, including her pumpkin ice cream and cake. The café is open Thursdays and Fridays from 3 to 7 p.m., and Saturdays noon to 6 p.m.
Dog parties need reservations, but others are welcome to stop in during open hours to dine or get take-out.
A growing aspect of the business, Moore says, is special events. She has elaborate plans for costume parties on St. Patrick's Day and Halloween. She has an Easter Egg hunt, a Lady Gaga night and Doggie Karaoke.
This particular event, however, is a birthday party. Miss Dizzy and Mr. Marbles are 1-year-old on this day, and every dog who is any dog is attending, along with their humans, a mix of friends, and co-workers at Builders Exchange of Washington in Everett who, well, are party animals, too.
Dogs dig it: The Dining Dog Café and Bakery is in the Firdale Village, 9635 Firdale Ave. N., Edmonds. Call 425-314-4612 for more information.

My doctor told me there is a chance that my cancer could come back. Will I have to get radiation and chemotherapy again?
Patricia Dooley, Associate Director of the Division of Speech Language Pathology at Penn Medicine, responds:
If cancer returns in a previously radiated area, the best treatment, ideally, would be surgery. If surgery is not feasible, then there would be consideration of repeat radiation. The risk of severe toxicity is higher for the second course of radiation when compared to the first course.

IRVINE, Francine Verbarg: Our media elites and certain elected officials have done a great job in presenting a biased picture of our immigration policies.
|FILE - In this April 22, 2010 file photo, people walk along the international border in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico as seen from Nogales, Ariz. one week prior to the signing of Arizona's immigration bill SB1070. (Matt York, Associated Press)
Americans need to know that every immigration bill passed from 1965 to the present has never been fully implemented. President Ronald Reagan, in 1986, granted amnesty that was supposed to legalize 1.3 million and secure the border and prosecute people who knowingly hired illegals. What happened was a chain migration that allowed nearly 3 million to become citizens. The border was not secured, and few, if any, employers were cited. Under President George W. Bush, we were supposed to have a fence finished. That hasn't happened. These are just two examples – there are many more. How any elected official who took an oath to uphold our Constitution can be in support of legalization is incomprehensible.
I did not vote to use taxpayer money to send illegal immigrant children to our colleges. With every seat that is given to a citizen of another country, an American citizen is denied that right. Parents and their own country should be responsible for these children. The U.S. has 82 types of visas. We allow more people into our country legally than any other country in the world. H2-A visas, for instance, allow for unlimited temporary workers. The reason the growers do not want to use the visa is because it costs more than hiring illegal workers.
Both political parties have sold out Americans for votes. Our elected officials need to enforce the laws on the books.
ORANGE, Lee Boydston: The truth is we do not enforce immigration laws, the costly "fence" solution hasn't worked, and, now, more than ever, Washington politics are entering into what appears to be vote pandering. To have a comprehensive immigration program we should require agreements between us and foreign governments to cost-share expenses for the immigrants until they become citizens or go back to their home country.
Automatic citizenship for newborns to noncitizen parents should stop. The four southern-border states should lead in drafting new immigration law, based on their knowledge in this area.
Not amnesty, again
ALISO VIEJO, D.C. Wales: Legal immigration gives opportunities for individuals of all nationalities and work-based visas to favor skilled workers in well-paying fields. Conversely, illegal immigration is discriminatory. It favors Latinos with access to the border and it primarily draws low-wage workers, who often incur thousands of dollars in government costs not offset by what they pay in taxes.
I'm fine with guest-worker visas for those who want to work and send money home. I'm not OK with someone here illegally who wants me to pay the $7,000 a year it costs to educate his or her child.
When President Ronald Reagan granted amnesty to millions of illegals, he promised us that it was a one-time deal. He lied. If Congress grants amnesty for illegals who have lived here for years, they also need to enact a "never-again" policy.
Anyone caught here illegally who does not meet the amnesty criteria must be immediately deported.
Entitled to enter?
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Robert Frederickson: Two issues underlie illegal immigration: no level of government has credibility when it comes to enforcing immigration laws and the "jobs Americans won't do."
First, both parties obviously wanted to allow tens of millions of uneducated, government-dependent citizens into the country via previous amnesty programs. I doubt they are finished. In 10 years we will again talk about amnesty for another 10 million illegal immigrants.

Hi blitzntj, Noticed your great comment on today's news item, "2014 Chevrolet Spark EV starts at $27,495". In my opinion, all-electric vehicles are not the answer to high fuel prices or environmental problems. Keep posting those good responses. Want to become buddies?? Warren {:-)
Five years on gas buddy, very good work .......
..Lets b gas buddies
Great post today about U.S. & Canadian gas prices going up. That is an awesome avatar picture. Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but that was ****ing excellent. Haven't heard any other of their material so I can't compare to older works, but I assume they would be just as good or even better. Also am I mistaken or is their a thrash band with a similar name of sorts......or at the least I'm very confused. I'm pretty sure Voivod is who I'm thinking of, but didn't they have an album 2 or so years ago that was with a green logo or smth? Damn I'm confused.
Also recently discovered Watain. Still missing out on a lot of stuff it seems.

Even though my profile has HTML ON, it shows it as off. Thus, you'll need to cut/paste the links below.
God is the source for meteorites. The meteorite (by way of ancient Egypt) is the source for the symbolism in the bible. Fire, flames, burning, rocks, mountains, lake of fire, isle of fire, et. al. are symbolic terms to express the BELIEF that god was/is the source for "those that come down" (Nefilim in Genesis 6:4 KJV translation).
So, instead of telling theists that you just don't believe, being able to show them the CONTINUUM of religious beliefs from Sumeria (also believed in meteorites though in an external, NON-geocentric way) and Ancient Egypt on down through Xianity and Islam MAY at least get a few to think about the illogical parts of their beliefs.
BTW, I'm a non-theist myself. I became interested in what the heck WERE the writers of the bible talking about with all that crazy "aggressive" situations in the bible. Well, it's been staring at us for 1000's of years but no one seems to have connected the dots.
Thus, ALL this fuss over the last few thousand years has been over a belief that meteorites seeded earth (i.e. Jesus is the "seed of man" or "son of man"). Unfortunately, all the political agendas in the bible are taken in by many a believer.

Comments about Selle Italia Lady Gel Flow Saddle:
My bike came with a Bontrager saddle, and I was in pain after only 6 miles. I lurked on women's cycing forums and read great things about this saddle. It truy has lived up to its reputation. I can ride 20+ miles without chamois bike short without pain. I love the cutout for my 'parts.' I highly recommend it!!!
Comments about Selle Italia Lady Gel Flow Saddle:
Actually, this is my wife's saddle - a birthday present. After over a decade of use her original Terry Liberator - the first cutout design - was getting justifiably shabby being on its third bike! After about an hour of riding, I asked her what she thought of the new saddle and she replied that she hadn't thought about it or even noticed it. When a saddle does a disappearing act, you know there can't be anything wrong. I also noticed when riding behind her that there is a tiny bit of daylight showing at the center which bodes well for ventilation when the hot weather comes. This may be the best available serious womens' specific all around, all day saddle.

By leaving a legacy to the Jewish Museum you will help ensure the stories of Jewish life in Britain continue to be told, and make a positive and lasting contribution to present and future generations.
The Museum also welcomes the offer of gifts and loans: this can be discussed in detail with the Museum's curators.
Your gift can help the Museum, and the communities it serves, by supporting our education programme, helping us to conserve and add to our collections, or funding the curatorial team who care for our collections and create new and exciting exhibitions, and much more. This year 14,000 schoolchildren have taken part in Museum workshops, in which our learning team use our collections and galleries to explain and bring to life all aspects of Jewish religion and history. Demand for our education programmes, and for our specialist sessions combating anti-semitism, is continually increasing - and your legacy could help us reach out to more schoolchildren every year.
Our world-renowned and Designated collection includes the earliest known English Hanukah lamp, from 1709 and a beautiful Purim Scroll from 1647 by renowned engraver Salom Italia recently restored to its former glory by a legacy gift. The acquisition and conservation of these items are examples of what generous donations and legacies can enable the Museum to do. Our collections are translated into remarkable and innovative exhibitions by our curators and the research they undertake. Your legacy can endow a curatorial post to enable the Jewish Museum to continue to flourish long into the future.
We know that leaving a legacy is a very important and personal decision. We are indebted to you for any help you give to the Museum, whatever the size of your gift. We record and recognise all gifts and commitments appropriately, acknowledging your support in our Annual Review and other Museum literature, on our website and within the Museum itself.

We also hope that we can thank you for your kindness during your lifetime by inviting you to the Museum for special events and activities including exhibition launches and previews, events and lectures, allowing you to see at first hand how your gift will make a difference.
Making a Will ensures that your wishes are carried out and helps to remove difficulty or uncertainty for those left behind. We advise that you ask a solicitor to help you draw up or amend your Will. When you have made provisions for your family and friends, you may wish to specify the Jewish Museum as a charitable organisation that you would like to help.

Relating Inertia and Experience in Technology Markets: An Analysis of Households' Personal Computer Choices
2011, Applied Economics
Jeff Prince
This paper empirically analyzes how households' PC purchasing behaviors change with market experience. We find that: households generally exhibit inertia in their PC purchases, the level of inertia is increasing as a function of experience on the PC market, and, for households switching brands, the likelihood of buying a lesser-known brand increases with experience, regardless of the brand of the previous purchase. These findings are consistent with the predictions of a simple learning model, and extend our understanding of how market experience affects purchasing behavior to an important technology product, with implications that may apply to other similar products.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disease. The main sign of DMD is muscle weakness that worsens over time. Before age five, the muscles in the legs, arms, and trunk begin to weaken. Later in the disease, the heart and respiratory muscles weaken.
DMD is caused by a genetic mutation. The mutation causes the gene to make inadequate amounts of a protein called dystrophin. This protein is needed to keep muscles intact.
These factors increase your child's chance of having DMD:
Symptoms of DMD may include:

Your doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor will also ask if there is any family history of neuromuscular disease. The exam will focus on your child's muscles. The doctor will look for signs of weakness. You will likely be referred to a specialist.
Your child's bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
Your child's nerves and muscles may be tested. This can be done with
Talk with your doctor about the best plan for your child. The disease worsens over time. Your child may need different treatments as the disease progresses. Options include the following:
Therapy plays a large role in treating DMD. Your child will work with a therapist to try to keep muscles strong.
The disease causes contractures. This is when a muscle shortens, making it difficult to move. The therapist will focus on preventing this with range of motion exercises.
Scoliosis is common in DMD. Exercises can help to keep the back as straight as possible.
Braces are used to keep the legs straight and prevent contractures. A
may be needed later when the leg muscles become too weak to walk.
Your doctor may prescribe a steroid medication like prednisone. This can help to improve muscle strength and slow muscle weakening. Steroids can weaken bones. To keep bones healthy, your child will take
vitamin D
and calcium supplements. If your child has heart problems, medications may be given to slow the damage.
As the disease progresses, the muscles that support breathing may weaken. Your child may need a ventilator. It will deliver air through a mask, tube, or sometimes through a
surgical hole in the windpipe called a
Surgery is sometimes used to treat symptoms of DMD. For severe contractures, surgery may be done to release specific tendons. Scoliosis can sometimes interfere with your child's breathing. In this case, back surgery may be done.
There are no known guidelines to prevent this progressive muscle disease.

It's May in Rochester Hills, Mich., less than a month after the 2011 Boston Marathon, and Desiree Davila is home. Her dark hair is pulled back in a ponytail, as it usually is, and she wears jeans and a blue sweatshirt that says "Detroit."
Davila lives in an underwhelming red brick ranch-style home that her boyfriend owns and in which the fastest American ever at Boston pays a monthly rent. She apologizes for the mess as we move through the house; in truth, it has that bachelor feel of too much open space.
"I just moved in a year ago," she says later. As we talk, her black socks, tucked under her office chair, are covered with dog hair.
The year she moved in, 2010, was a good year for Davila. In the spring she made the final of the 3,000m of the world indoor championships in Doha, Qatar, and her 2:26:20 at the Chicago Marathon in October–good for fourth overall–made her the fourth-fastest American ever at the distance. Hers was also the fastest American time that year.
But it was Davila's gutsy, second-place performance at the 2011 Boston Marathon that skyrocketed her into an instant American favorite, driving a country to its feet to scream at their respective computer screens as they wondered Could she? Can she? Davila personified the battle against an East African hegemony, showing a glimpse of what may be a new dawning in American distance running.
Therefore, interacting with Davila post-Boston is like an interviewer's equivalent of Where's Waldo: You listen expectantly to spot the changes since her 2:22:38 elevated her to the third-fastest American ever at the marathon distance, for the ego, the bragging, the hubris.
Instead, you hear, "Race day, I think I had gone through all the ups and downs of believing in myself and doubting myself, back and forth. I'd prepared for pretty much every race scenario, so when it happened, it was like, 'No, I'm ready for this. This is how it should be.
'I belong here,'" she says.

Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Sunday February 3rd
LOUISVILLE -10½ over Marquette
How can it be? 10½-points? Seriously? That has to be everyone's reaction to this line on this Super Bowl Sunday and we can almost guarantee that the Marquette Golden Eagles will be the front end of a lot of parlays with the betting public's Super Bowl picks. After all, the Golden Eagles are now ranked, they're first in the Big East with a 6-1 record and they have conference wins over Georgetown, UConn and Pitt. Marquette's only conference loss came at Cincinnati in OT. This number seems absolutely ridiculous.
Louisville's previous #1 ranking is now #12. They've lost three of its past four and they're just 5-3 in the conference. The Cardinals stock has been sinking for two weeks now while the Eagles stock has been soaring. This is not a mistake by the oddsmakers. They could've made Louisville an 8-point choice here and not sway a single bet. The linemakers have a strong sense that Louisville is going to come out, dominate and play its best game of the year. If you were leaning Golden Eagles, we would urge you to proceed with caution, as this pointspread has trap written all over it.

Virginia at Georgia Tech
Play: Over
Although they're not winning games straight up, the young Yellow Jackets have developed a couple of definitive traits. Since ACC play began, GT has pushed their tempo up to 73 possessions per game. The high number of chances has allowed Tech to average nearly 64 ppg in league play despite their poor 38.9 FG%. Even turtle paced Clemson was sped up to 70 possessions by Georgia Tech last Tuesday night in their contest which totaled 123 points. Quicker pace is one thing, but the subpar defense being played by the Jackets is not something associated with HC Brian Gregory. Lapses and non-cohesiveness on the stop end are also bi-products of excessive youth which is trying to learn on the fly in a very tough league. No doubt that Virginia head coach Tony Bennett's team always brings their methodical game plan on the road but it's hard to resist offensive the openings when that will show up against this opponent. The Cavaliers will likely have a few hair trigger spurts today as the host tries to force tempo. Even better for UVA is the fact that their excellent three point shooting (38.4%) could thrive here since Georgia Tech has allowed 35% or better in four of their seven conference games. Advantages to playing over 112.5 are present in the fundamentals of this matchup and the low price leaves plenty of room for error.

Jeff Scott Sports
Boston/ Clippers Under 184: The Celtics have been mostly a slow down team this year and they should be even slower the rest of the year without Rondo in there. The Celts have averaged 98.6 ppg in their last 5 games, but 2 of those games did go into OT. Looking at regulation and we see that Boston has averaged just 90.1 ppg in their last 9 games overall. Not sure they can hit that mark today vs a Clippers squad that has allowed just 90.3 ppg in their last 3 games and just 94.4 ppg on the road on the year. Now Like Boston, the Clippers have had their own scoring woes of late, averaging just 92.6 ppg in their last 9 games. Not good news for the Clipps, especially when taking on Boston on the road. Boston has allowed just 92.5 ppg at home overall, including just 87.3 ppg (regulation) in their last 7 games here. Both offenses are struggling and that gives two very good defenses the edge here. Should be a slow paced game with neither team hitting the 90 point mark.

Joe Gavazzi
San Francisco -3½ & Over 47
I would love to be privy to the childhood dynamics of the brothers Harbaugh in their formative years. Did John (50 yrs. old) of Baltimore maintain an older brother dominance over brother Jim (49 yrs. old) of San Francisco? And was that a factor in Baltimore's 16-6 home victory last November when these coaches first met? Or does little brother Jim get his revenge for that loss and those childhood memories? But since neither of these coaches are playing a single down in this Super Bowl, this analysis will focus on the players taking the field. Neither of these teams have the same profile as they did 10 weeks ago. At that time I cited the ravens as a team that was plummeting downward with an aging defense and a predictable offense growing increasingly reliant on the passing of QB Flacco. The first change came when Harbaugh fired 5th year OC Cameron and replaced him with former Indy HC Caldwell. The veteran Caldwell was a calming influence on Flacco in no small part a function of Caldwell's decade long experience working with QB Peyton Manning at Indy. Following Baltimore's 1-4 SU ATS finish, QB Flacco has made a remarkable turnaround in the playoffs. Along with a shuffled, and re-shuffled OL, the improved Baltimore pass efficiency has led to a more productive running game which has averaged 149 RYPG in 3 playoff victories. Combined with a n OL that has allowed just 4 sacks, this is the best Baltimore has looked offensively all season. But the changes did not stop on the offensive side of the ball. Baltimore's aging defense received an emotional lift with the return of injured leader Ray Lewis. His 25 tackles in 3 playoff games has led a ravens defense whose played with far more emotion in allowing only 4 TD's in 3 playoff games (2 more TDs allowed by Special Teams). That was against the likes of Signal callers, Luck, Peyton Manning and Brady. Clearly the Ravens enter this game playing their best football of the year. A similar improvement was made by the 49ers. In mid-November, San Francisco HC Harbaugh made a gutsy move in switching, and staying, with QB Kaepernick. All this second year signal caller has done is go 7-2 SU including wins over New England, Green Bay and Atlanta. His presence has added an extra down field dimension to a once conservative 49er passing game. The fact is a capable and dynamic runner, not only puts pressure on opposing defenses, but also opens up the running lanes for power back, RB Gore, as well as the blazing speed of Oregon rookie RB James. With perhaps the best OL in the League, this offense has gone from being predictable to explosive. Now that I've brought you up to speed with the recent events and current form of these teams, let's take a look at some numbers based on the YTD performance. In our outstanding run through the NFL the last 3 months, including 7-4 ATS in these playoffs, selecting every side and selected totals, I've held true to my conviction that it is the better running game and defense that wins football games. With that in mind, let's consider the YTD stats which show that San Francisco averages 32 rush attempts/game for 166 RYPG on 5.3 YPR. Those numbers are the best in the NFL by San Francisco. Now consider Baltimore allow opponents 31 rush attempts/game for 124 yards overland. Knowing the above, do you think it's important to factor in that NFL teams who run 30 or more times/game (vs. opponents who do not) are 126-20 ATS (87%) including 5-0 ATS in the January playoffs. That stat goes hand in glove with the fact that teams this year that outrush their opponents by 30+ yards have been an outstanding indicator of point spread success that record now stands 120-31 ATS (80%) including 5-2 ATS in this year's playoffs. Keep in mind with QB Kaepernick representing a dual threat, the Niners ground game is even more dynamic. On the defensive side of the ball, the 49ers hold a clear edge. They allow a League best 294 YPG and only 17 PPG as well as just 4.9 defensive YP Play. those numbers are all clearly superior to the Baltimore defensive YTD numbers of 22/357/5.3 Conclusion: After considering all of the above factors it is the opinion of this bureau that despite the dramatic improvement on both sides of the ball by the Ravens in the last month, Baltimore is still the inferior team when it comes to running the football and playing defense. Furthermore, with 2 weeks off, and Baltimore having ascended to this title game, will the emotional lift by Ray Lewis have as great an impact in a game where one must assume that neither team will have an emotional edge. As a result, strongly prefer the better running game of the 49ers which has improved even more with the running threat of QB Kaepernick and the balance thrusts of the dichotomous styles of RBs Gore and James. Despite the Ravens improvement on the stop end, I feel far more comfortable with the 49ers defense that has proven their metal in each of the previous 2 seasons. In NFL games this season where the line was 6 or less, the straight up winner was 146-10 ATS (94%). At what I consider to be a fair price, expect the 49ers to emerge as this year's Super Bowl winner. Totals Alert: In a season where defensive rule changes, favoring the offense, impacted the game dramatically. We saw scoring leap to an average of over 46 PPG; that makes this over/under impost of 47 to assume this will be an average scoring game. But late season improvements to the scoring ability of the Niners with QB Kaepernick at the controls, strongly implies that on a fast indoor track in near perfect conditions, that the Niners will extend their run to 10-1 ATS OVER in Kaepernick games. As a matter of longer term significance, please consider that the OVER is 13-6 in recent Super Bowls in which an O/U line of less than 50 was posted.
