Zenha Spear Necklace
Free Worldwide Delivery from Canada - Out of Stock
Hand-cast from a vintage African hairpiece, originally made of bone, this bronzed spearhead is truly unique. We love this nod to nostalgia against modern glam chainmail.
We're obsessed with taking elements of the past and re-creating them with a modern tone. The Zenha Spear is the perfect reflection of this - our re-creation has been dipped in oxidised brass, paying homage to the pendant's original history.

A multidisciplinary team of researchers from UCLA and India has found that a new type of intervention program, in which lay women in the rural Indian province of Andra Pradesh were trained as social health activists to assist women who have HIV/AIDS, significantly improved patients' adherence to antiretroviral therapy and boosted their immune-cell counts and nutrition levels.
The lay women were trained by the research team to serve as accredited social health activists, or ASHA, and their work was overseen by rural nurses and physicians. These ASHA then provided counseling and support to the women with HIV/AIDS, as well as assistance aimed at removing the barriers they face in accessing health care and treatment.
"For rural women living with AIDS in India, stigma, financial constraints and transportation challenges continue to exist, making lifesaving antiretroviral therapy difficult to obtain," said lead researcher Adey Nyamathi, distinguished professor and associate dean of international research and scholarly activities at the UCLA School of Nursing.
In India, 2.47 million people are affected with HIV/AIDS, and more than half are women. The epidemic is shifting from urban to rural areas, and the rice-producing Andhra Pradesh district in southeastern India is at the epicenter; this area has the highest total number of HIV/AIDS cases of all states in the country, with nearly 20 percent of the population infected.
For the intervention study, women with HIV/AIDS in Andra Pradesh were randomly selected to participate either in the intervention, called AHSA-LIFE (AL), or in a control group.
Over a six-month period, the ASHA visited the women in the AL group to monitor the barriers they faced in accessing health care and adhering to their antiretroviral therapy and provided assistance to help mitigate these barriers. The ASHA also provided counseling to help women develop coping strategies to deal with discrimi

Rochester, Minn.
Describes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market.
This randomized pilot phase II trial studies how well serum bovine immunoglobulin protein isolate works in improving quality of life and post-operative recovery in patients with gynecological cancer after undergoing surgery. Serum bovine immunoglobulin supplementation may improve the quality of life of patients with gynecological cancer.

Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of pazopanib hydrochloride in treating patients with advanced or refractory solid tumors. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Contact us for the latest status
The overall purpose of the study is to determine if MEDI-551, when used in combination with salvage chemotherapy, Ifosfamide-carboplatin-etoposide (ICE) or Dexamethasone-cytarabine (DHAP) in patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL who are eligible for Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT), has superior efficacy compared to rituximab in the same population.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, also work in different ways to kill cancer cells or stop them from dividing. Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of mantle cell lymphoma by blocking blood flow to the cancer. It is not yet known whether giving rituximab together with bendamustine and bortezomib is more effective than rituximab and bendamustine, followed by rituximab alone or with lenalidomide in treating mantle cell lymphoma.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial studies rituximab, bortezomib, bendamustine, and lenalidomide in treating previously untreated older patients with mantle cell lymphoma.
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.
This is an open label study of BBI608 in combination with cetuximab, panitumumab or capecitabine in patients with advanced colorectal cancer.
This clinical trial studies individualized temozolomide (TMZ) in treating patients with stage IV melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as TMZ, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving TMZ at different times, which are determined individually for each patient based on the phase (biorhythm) of the immune system response against the tumor may allow for a better drug response and may kill more tumor cells.
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.
Panobinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase II trial is studying how well panobinostat works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
The purpose of this study is to isolate and measure circulating tumor cells in the blood stream to advance detection of cancer and treatment monitoring. In this study, the investigators will utilize the novel technology for circulating tumor cell detection in order to evaluate their presence in patients with lung cancer.
This study is being conducted to examine the safety and tolerability of SGN-LIV1A in patients with metastatic breast cancer, and to find the highest dose of the drug that can be given without unacceptable side effects. Other goals of the trial are to find out if SGN-LIV1A has any antitumor effects, to learn about the pharmacokinetics of SGN-LIV1A, and to explore the relationship between antigen expression and SGN-LIV1A effects.
The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety profile, characterize pharmacokinetics (PK) and determine the dosing schedule, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and recommended phase 2 dose (RPTD) of ABT-199 when administered in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.

From the Publisher"This devastating book asks why citizens should feel obligated to participate in the political order and be responsive to its demands. Simmons lines up theorists like targets and bops one after another. 'Fair Play', 'Tacit Consent', 'Natural Duty of Justice' are all in trouble, whether offered by Rawls or Nozick or anyone else.

Hi Everyone,
I looked through this topic for this information, but please forgive me if this is has been covered already. There are so many pages.
Some background: I bought a used 3DS XL that came with a number of virtual console titles on it (I guess the original owner didn't perform a system transfer) and I've recently picked up a Yoshi edition. I performed a system transfer from the old to the new system and am using the original SD card but copied the contents onto the new SD card that currently resides in the old system.
My question is this: I want to sell the old system but keep the virtual console titles on it like when I bought it. Is there a way to do this or has the system transfer dashed all hope? I can see the files in the file structure on the computer but can't access them through the 3DS. Any ideas?
Also, say I can't figure it out but I sell the 3DS to someone who can figure it out, can they access any of my personal data?
Sorry, that's a lot of info. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone,
The system transfer is permanent. So, since the previous owner left the content on there, you were able to claim it on your new 3ds by transferring everything over the the Yoshi edition. Doing this completely wiped the old 3ds, so you can no longer access the content that was previously on it.

Hi guys, I have one doubt about the transfer process. On the step 20
20.Tap "Delete" to confirm deletion of all Nintendo 3DS data on the target system's SD Card. Tap the blue Delete button to begin the transfer.
If "Do Not Delete" is selected, the Target system will request to perform the transfer without deleting the Nintendo 3DS data on the SD Card. Tap "Yes" to begin the transfer.
If I select "Do not delete" on target system, can I later merge the data of both SD cards in that console? In my case, I have a standard 3DS with all my stuff and I'm planning to buy the 3DS XL bundle of Mario & Luigi that comes preinstalled. If I do this, do I have to redownload the Mario & Luigi or it can be combined in one SD card with the old data? I'm mostly asking this because my ISP suck, and if I have to redownload, it will be a long nightmare. Thanks in advance.

What you'll probably have to do is redownload the game. The eshops will merge at least, so you won't lose it. However, in your case, since your internet is slow, I would probably suggest going somewhere with public wifi. I've actually downloaded Persona 4 Golden in public, and it didn't take very long.
Good luck!

This ais a great example as to why Nintendo should just let everyone have a username and use cloud saving. Would make this much less of a hassle.
Guess this means I no longer have access to any of the old 3DS games I bought on my old 3DS that I was hoping I could access on my new XL
I remember a time when whether you owned a Sega Genesis or a Super Nintendo everyone was a gamer and we all just got along.

Quick question:
Is it possible to transfer games to a system that already has games? Will the games/data in the target system would be deleted?

Quick question:
If the target system has a NNID: it and the games on the target are deleted.
If not: I'm not 100% sure... are the games kept?
They really should fuse the games in both cases, but apparently they do not. :|

Quick question:
As far as I know, the eShops will merge and you can redownload the games, but the data itself will be lost. When doing a System Transfer I think is mandatory the use of the old SD card to preserve those data, but it can't merge with those files on the receiving system SD card.

Pune: As the city is set to undergo water cuts from Saturday in the wake of acute shortage, residents of few localities are bracing themselves up for the problem.
Some of them have restored to water conservation by banning washing of cars while others have reduced the water supply to their residential complexes.
As there are no rains in and around Pune, the Pune Municipal Corporation has decided to supply water only once a day to city households from Saturday. While the civic administration has appealed to the residents not to waste water, some of them have already started responding to the situation by taking up water conservation measures.
Residents of Kubera Colony on NIBM Road in Kondhwa have showed their social responsibility where they have decided to save as much water as they can. Recently, the residents of the colony have come up with a circular in which they have banned washing of cars. Nilesh Jitekar, secretary of Kubera Colony, told dna, "We have a total 315 flats and nearly 250 vehicles. Earlier, we used to wash our vehicles every day but now, we have completely banned the activity. We are trying to store as much of water as possible. From Monday, we will be putting restrictions on water supply—it will be supplied for three hours in morning and evening. We have also instructed the residents not to water the gardens till the situation improves. We are also planning to impose a fine in case anybody is found wasting water."
Even the residents of Kothurd have restored to water conservation. The Saudamini housing society in Bhusari Colony, Kothrud, has restricted water supply. Ganesh Chondhe, a member of the society, said, "We have created a group on Watsapp where we are constantly circulating messages regarding water conservation. We have restricted water supply and are also planning to check all possible leakages in all the building."
Aundh Vikas Samiti in the posh area of Aundh has come out with a circular in which they have instructed the members not to use washing machines on a daily basis. Apart from that the group has appealed residents not to wash their terrace or balconies.

Opposing war, racism, sexism, climate change, economic injustice and high-stakes testing.
The people scored a major victory this week when Coke announced it had "elected to discontinue its membership with" the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). Kraft Foods quickly followed suit, and it was revealed that Pepsi had quietly withdrawn earlier.
The tide is starting to shift but there are still numerous prominent companies helping to fund and legitimize ALEC's extreme activist agenda, including Wal-Mart, FedEx, Johnson & Johnson, Bayer and State Farm.
The Nation is asking readers to implore one of ALEC's corporate benefactors with which they may do business, AT&T, to follow Kraft and Coke in severing ties with a group that that has worked to suppress voter turnout, privatize public schools, Medicare and Social Security, promote concealed gun legislation and gut minimum wage laws. Join the campaign here.
Since Occupy Wall Street emerged last September, debates over its impact have roiled both liberals and conservatives confused by the fact of a (successful yet) leaderless movement lacking concrete demands.
But something seems to be working. The 99% Spring is just the latest recent example of OWS's influence. An impressive coalition of liberal-left groups and organizations, led by MoveOn.org and including the AFL-CIO, Greenpeace, the Working Families Party, 350.org, Campaign for America's Future, United Students Against Sweatshops, CodePink, Global Exchange and Color of Change aims to recruit and train 100,000 Americans "to tell the story of what happened to our economy, learn the history of non-violent direct action, and use that knowledge to take action on our own campaigns to win change." A cross-section of the country—from carpenters and stay-at-home moms to business people, students and farmers—has signed up for hundreds of sessions so far, according to an AP report.
To me, the simple fact that the cream of the liberal-left establishment is promoting direct action trainings in the six-months before a presidential election rather than focusing all its energies on the electoral horse race is dramatic testimony to Occupy's impact.
After the trainings, a series of actions—referred to as "Shareholder's Spring"—are planned to disrupt the shareholder meetings of Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Exxon Mobil, Chevron and thirty or so other leading multinationals along with a series of student-lead actions against Sallie Mae and other corporations that have profited off the student debt crisis.
The campaign's kick-off will take place from April 9 to April 15 when more then 700 trainings are expected to be held in all fifty states as people gather in homes, places of worship, campuses, libraries and the streets to train themselves in non-violent direct action and join together in the work of reclaiming our country.
Sign up to attend a training, check out this map for a list of upcoming actions and organize your own event and publicize it here.
Digital activist Sara Haile-Mariam sent me this extremely powerful video she created, which chronicles the 911 tapes that preceded and followed the death of Trayvon Martin and highlights the pervasive violence that plagues black youth nationwide.
The video calls on viewers to tell their own stories and provides them with a hashtag for amplifying their voices—the contemporary equivalent of a soapbox.
#Plan4Trayvon is growing quickly and Plan4Trayvon.com was built as a reaction to that response. This site will chronicle the movement that is not just demanding justice for Martin but also honoring his legacy through individual acts.
As disgraced ex-Governor but really smart financial/political analyst Eliott Spitzer recently wrote in his syndicated column:
"The root causes of Wall Street's violations are really quite simple to catalogue: conflicts of interest built into business models that promote violations of fiduciary obligation; easy access to "OPM" -- other people's money -- coupled with fee structures that reward selling bad products because others are left holding all the down side risk; and the certainty that institutions that are too big to fail will get bailed out when things really get tough, again insuring the socialization of risk while gains are privatized and held by the fortunate few who are properly situated to take advantage of the aforementioned conflicts and fee structures."
Tonight, Tuesday, at 7:00pm, tune in to a live, streamed conversation from Washington, DC featuring Spitzer, Matt Taibbi, Van Jones, Ron Suskind, Heather McGhee, Jesse La Greca and Dylan Ratigan talking about the role the financial and corporate elite played in creating the economic crisis in the United States, and how those same elites impede the flow of democratic life in the country today. Hosted by The Culture Project with FORA TV as part of its invaluable Blueprint for Accountability series.
In the Granite State, as the Washington Post recently reported, New Hampshire House Republicans are pushing for new laws that would prohibit many college students from voting in the state—and effectively keep some from voting at all. One bill would permit students to vote in their college towns only if they or their parents had previously established permanent residency there. Another bill would end election-day registration.
The measures in New Hampshire are among dozens of voting-related bills being pushed by newly empowered Republican state lawmakers across the country. "It's a war on voting," Thomas Bates, vice president of Rock the Vote, rightly told the WP: "We'd like to be advocating for a 21st-century voting system, but here we are fighting against efforts to turn it back to the 19th century."
Fortunately, at a time when states are passing some of the most sweeping voting restrictions young voters have faced in decades, Rock the Vote's Democracy Class could help ensure that young people learn their history, register to vote and make their electoral voice heard as soon as they are eligible.
On Friday, March 23, Rock the Vote will hold its second annual Democracy Day, bringing its Democracy Class to students nationwide and helping them register to vote. Schools coast to coast are teaching Democracy Class from tomorrow through the end of the spring semester in recognition of the forty-first anniversary of the Twenty-sixth Amendment, which gave 18-year-olds the right to vote.
Democracy Class was developed to fill a gap created by three decades of cuts to civic education in public schools, at a time when almost 11,500 young people turn 18 every day and in advance of the 2012 election which will see Millennials making up nearly one quarter of the entire electorate.
Consisting of a one-period lesson plan that includes a mock election, classroom discussion, and a new video featuring Grammy award winning artist John Legend, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, Roc Nation recording artist Bridget Kelly and Glee's Darren Criss, the class is a nationally accredited curriculum that teachers can sign up for online for free. Tell an educator today!
The facts beyond dispute in Trayvon Martin's murder offer a shocking, if sadly unsurprising, example of what it's like to be young, black and male in much of America today.
The 17-year-old high school junior went out unarmed at halftime of the NBA All-Star game to buy snacks at a 7-Eleven and wound up being killed by George Zimmerman, an armed neighborhood watch captain who had called police to report a suspicious person.
Zimmerman called Martin a "Fu*king Co*n" on the first 911 call, as this chilling recording confirms, and was told clearly by the police dispatcher not to follow Martin and to wait until police arrived without doing anything.
According to the New York Times's Charles Blow, "Trayvon had a bag of Skittles and a can of iced tea. Zimmerman had a 9 millimeter handgun. The two allegedly engaged in a physical altercation. There was yelling, and then a gunshot. When police arrived, Trayvon was face down in the grass with a fatal bullet wound to the chest."
Claiming self-defense with many circumstantial questions to the contrary, Zimmerman has not been charged with police citing Florida's 'Stand Your Ground' law, one of the broadest set of self-defense statutes in the country which, as Mychal Denzel Smith explains, places the threshold for self-defense so low that you need little more than your word to show that your life was in danger. Zimmerman's description of events was enough for the police, who evidently feel they know all that they need to know to determine that Zimmerman was acting appropriately.
Outrage has grown as details have emerged and media attention has highlighted the many questions in Zimmerman's portrayal of events. Rallies are being planned and elected officials and community activists are organizing against "Stand Your Ground" which has seen homicide rates jump from an average of twelve to thirty-three per year in the state since the legislation's implementation.
In a quest for justice, Martin's parents posted this Change.org petition calling on Florida's 18th District State's Attorney to prosecute Zimmerman. Please sign on today; then join the call to abolish Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law. No more Trayvon Martins.
As the invaluable Democracy Now! reported this morning, New York City police arrested seventy-three Occupy Wall Street activists in Zuccotti Park on Saturday where hundreds had gathered to mark six months since the launch of OWS. Many people reported excessive use of force by officers; several cases were caught on camera and video. This is the latest in a pattern of police abuse against Occupy protesters.
Consequently, a coalition of community activists is calling for a full, independent investigation by the state Attorney General into the active suppression of the Occupy movement by the New York Police Department, including, but not limited to:
1. The use of taxpayer funds to infiltrate and monitor peaceful Occupy protest planning
2. Departmental practices that lead to, or allow for, the violent dispersal of crowds and the violent arrest of protestors
3. Civil rights violations of protestors by the police.
Join the call today. There's nothing more American than the right to peaceful protest.
After an enormously successful campaign to stop the Keystone XL Pipeline from being built, 350.org and numerous allies are gearing up for a major new fight to end four billion dollars in subsidies the fossil fuel industry receives each year.
There's no way to move to renewable energy sources like wind and solar without ending the subsidies to an industry that's already earning record-breaking profits: Exxon-Mobil is currently the most profitable corporation in the history of capitalism.
These subsidies are delivered through the tax code but they are essentially no different from government spending programs that provide money directly. As Seth Hanlon explained on Think Progress: "Some of these tax earmarks have been around for nearly a century, and the deep-pocketed industry has successfully challenged previous repeal attempts. But today's high gas prices and inflated profits have undermined the industry's argument that their tax breaks benefit consumers. Meanwhile, federal budget deficits have sharpened Congress's focus on eliminating wasteful government spending—of which oil subsidies are one of the worst examples."
So, the time is right to challenge the longstanding advantages the fossil fuel industry has enjoyed in this country. If you're ready to join this fight, sign on with 350. Over the next month, the group will issue a series of alerts designed to ramp up the pressure on elected officials by having them publicly declare where they stand on the question of subsidies.
The first step is this petition, designed to show Congress how important this issue is, and to alert every member of Congress that an army of concerned citizens are taking this issue very seriously. As Bill McKibben says in this stirring video message, "This fight is a lifetime fight." Join the battle now.
As this video documents, a crew of intrepid occupiers made a home last week in a New York City Bank of America branch lobby with a couch, a coffee table, a rug and a potted plant. "Bank of America took our homes so we thought we'd move in here!"
Join the action on March 15 as America turns the tables on the nation's largest bank and activists call out the avarice and social predation of America's largest bank with a series of creative actions.
Each spring the Left Forum convenes the largest progressive gathering in North America in a rambling, lively confab unlike anything else in the United States. Originally established in 1981 as the Socialist Scholar's Conference, the event was renamed the Left Forum in 2005 after a split in the ranks forced a year's hiatus and a reconstituted organizing structure.
Continuing a tradition begun in the 1960s, intellectuals and organizers meet to share notes, perspectives, strategies, experience, vision and, of course, drinks! Last year's conference, led by the LF's energetic director, Seth Adler, saw a record 3,500 activists attending more than 300 panels and workshops. This weekend's proceedings, invigorated by the Occupy movement, are expected to beat these numbers.
This year, the Left Forum will focus on the $64,000 question of how best to confront global capitalism: How can American leftists best support the many revolutionary struggles abroad that took root in 2011? How can the Occupy movement be sustained and nurtured in the US? How can new technologies help foster social change? What needs to happen for new chains of solidarity to bloom between workers in the West and their counterparts in the global South? Are democracy and capitalism mutually exclusive? Join an illustrious group of writers, thinkers and activists in this immensely important conversation about the fate of the earth.
Speakers include Medea Benjamin, Michael Ratner, Frances Fox Piven, Barbara Ehrenreich, Cornel West, Wallace Shawn, Marina Sitrin and Nation writers John Nichols, Laura Flanders, Michael Klare, Ari Berman and Doug Henwood.
Panel topics are, to say the least, wide-ranging: Afghanistan, the impact of tax policy on job creation and poverty, the significance of art in the Occupy movement, Neoliberalism and the blockbuster film, the future of Thorium-fueled nuclear energy, self-mobilization from Johnson-Forest to Global Occupy and the US role in Mexico's drug war are just a few of the many themes that will be taken up.
This video featuring Barbara Ehrenreich at last year's opening plenary gives a good sense of the breadth and depth of the conversations you'll find at the LF.
Taking place at on March 18 and 19 at Pace University in Manhattan, the Left Forum, which is co-sponsored by The Nation, is the place to be for progressives this weekend. Check out the full, very extensive schedule, read up on the speakers and register your spot in the conversation.

Catching Up With Solange Via the "Saint Heron" EP
True story. A few months back I was checking for new concerts and saw that Solange was going to be in the area. A day before the show, I drove all the way to the venue only to find out the show was sold out. Downer. Fear not friends, there was a silver lining to this tragic tale; it got me back into her 2012 EP True. I had listened to it a little bit here and there but never really gave it a big listen. Foolish of me because I came to realize it's excellent.
It must be frustrating to be Beyonce's sister, but honestly, I don't even think of them as musical sisters because Solange's music is so different. Where Beyonce is more of a pop star, Solange's style is more R&B rooted (with a splash of new wave) and definitely has some vintage, funk undertones. I think my favorite song off the EP is Lovers In The Parking Lot. It is creative, glossy and has a strong throwback vibe. The visuals are dope too; she always has cool videos and they feature one of hip-hop's most respected southern emcees.
It has been a minute since we have heard from her, but that doesn't mean she is going unappreciated. Solange has recently joined forces with some of the new generation of R&B stars including Cassie, Sampha and Jhene Aiko, for a compilation EP entitled, Saint Heron. What makes this so special is that all of these artists are looking to redefine the way in which we define R&B. They all have something unique and different about them and by joining forces they will prove that their version of R&B is more than just pianos and break up songs. Excited for the album? Me too! You can preview a few of the cuts via Pepsi Pulse and be sure to keep Solange on your radar for 2014.

I bought a 1984 H31 and have lived on it for 3 1/2 years, and my wife with me the past year. This is a decent little boat with much more storage than some of the more racy boats its size. It's a very light boat with lots of beam and gets uncomfortable fast as it gets nasty. I agree with the reefing early aspect. I installed an inner forestay for a storm jib, works well and extends my sailing capability into the really nasty that this boat was not designed for. The Yanmar 2GMF 13hp is underpowered, and I added a 3 blade prop that decreased vibes and increased fuel efficiency and speed. A bad thing is hunter's way of running the chainplate rods down to a piece of L-iron affixed to the inner liner. This caused a pucker on the port side of my boat, probably won't sink it but no good. The hunter rep said it's a really bad thing but I think the hulls are just thin. Also, if you have to re-rig a B+R get ready to pull out your wallet. That rig has so many end fittings that it's quite costly to re-rig. I did mine in 2007 all myself and still cost me 1500. The hunter rep quoted me 4k. Hunter puts carpet over all bare fiberglass surfaces, super nasty in the v-berth. Rip it out, apply form insulation and face with either a nice plastic sheet or pretty wood. The boat sails well, and it's fun to pop the chute for downwind runs. It's in the yard now and there are about 100 dime-sized blisters after not being painted for 5 or 6 years, and that aint bad! I'm going to let em ride. The cockpit is tight due to the large wheel, very annoying. I traded for a 6" diameter smaller wheel and eased the problem. The bimini/dodger is a round-bow type and useless for sailing in real rain, unless you sit in the companionway and steer via autopilot buttons. If you buy a boat this age, replace all the hoses or else your boat might sink.

1) In a bowl add ricotta and goat's cheese and spices and mix well. Lemon zest and lemon juice come next. Mix well.
2) Add crab meat and pistachios and mix well.
3) Using a piping bag stuff the squash blossoms with the mixture depending on the size of the blossoms and pack the petals to a close.
4) Heat oil in a frying pan at 375 degrees. As the oil is heating for the tempura batter in a bowl sift flour and crack an egg and slowly add in some ice cold water and whip batter will smooth. Make sure there are no lumps.

Party members set fire to the effigy of the TDP president
The Telangana Rashtra Samithi Karimnagar town unit leaders under the leadership of local legislator Gangula Kamalakar have set fire to an effigy of TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu in Karimnagar on Monday in protest against Mr Naidu's opposition to the formation of separate Telangana State and launching yatra in Seemandhra region for the cause of united Andhra Pradesh. Speaking on the occasion, the local legislator had launched a scathing attack against Mr Chandrababu Naidu for launching yatra in Seemandhra region and insulting the people of Telangana region. Ridiculing the TDP president's "Atma gaurava" yatra, he alleged that Mr Naidu had betrayed the people of Telangana and self-respect of the people, who have been fighting for separate Telangana Sate for self-esteem and self-rule.
TRS town president S Ravinder Singh said that the true colours of Mr Naidu were exposed with his yatra in Seemandhra region.

DEHRA DUN: "All the polling personnel have reached the 82 polling booths of Dhumakot Assembly segment in Pauri Garhwal district for the August 29 by-election and adequate police and observers have been deployed to ensure free and fair elections", the Chief Electoral Officer, N. Ravi Shankar said here on Tuesday.
The Chief Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party nominee, Maj. Gen. (retd ) Bhuwan Chandra Khanduri, is pitted against the Congress strongman and former Minister, Surendra Singh Negi, in a straight fight. Manish Sundriyal, a local unemployed youth leader is also in the fray as an independent.
The seat was vacated by the former Congress Minister and MLA, Lt. Gen. (retd ) T.P.S. Rawat, for Gen. Khanduri much to the chagrin of the party leaders who have been going around saying that Gen. Rawat had deceived the voters by switching over to the saffron brigade.
The run up to the poll witnessed intense campaigning by a large number of BJP and Congress leaders in this remote and backward region with the Congress accusing the ruling party of having misused power and violated the election code several times to influence the voters.

Latest Homo ergaster Stories
Prehistoric archaeologist Aaron Deter-Wolf explains why humans began wearing clothes--and it's more than just for protection against the elements.
As the human and primate fossil records become more complete, researchers are beginning to see the amount of complexity involved in man's evolution.
The reconstruction of 27 complete human limb bones found in Atapuerca (Burgos, Spain) has helped to determine the height of various species of the Pleistocene era.
Ancient footprints discovered near Ileret in northern Kenya show that some of the earliest humans walked like us and did so on anatomically modern feet more than a million years ago.
Text of report by Kenyan KTN TV on 9 August Kenyan archaeologists today launched an unprecedented challenge on Charles Darwin's human evolution theory.
By Wendy Leonard Deseret Morning News Early human fossils found and researched by a group containing two Utah scholars may challenge popular notions of how humanity evolved.
By SETH BORENSTEIN WASHINGTON - Surprising research based on two African fossils suggests our family tree is more like a wayward bush with stubby branches, challenging what had been common thinking on how early humans evolved.
Surprising fossils dug up in Africa are creating messy kinks in the iconic straight line of human evolution with its knuckle-dragging ape and briefcase-carrying man.
It was 1974 and Dr Donald Johanson and his student, Tom Gray, were heading back to camp after a fruitless morning searching for fossils in the scorched ravines of Ethiopia's Afar Depression. Then something in the dust caught Gray's eye.

Be More Than Strong – Be Tough
Be More Than Strong – Be Tough
One Giant Set to Giant Arms
One Giant Set to Giant Arms
Informed bodybuilders have always known the importance of the eccentric, or negative portion of a rep. This is where a lot of the micro damage occurs within the muscle tissue. Damage that will be repaired and replaced with thicker muscle fibers which translates into larger muscles. It's much easier to let gravity take over and just speed through the negative but your cheating yourself out of much of your intended muscle building results.
Too much of a good thing is a bad thing
Recent studies have confirmed the importance of eccentric training with a surprising result. You would think the slower the descent, the more muscle damage there would be but that's not the case. If the eccentric portion is too slow, less muscle damage will occur. Studies have discovered that if the descent is too slow the muscle has a chance to compensate and protect itself from further damage. The key is an eccentric phase lasting no more than three seconds.
The One & a Half Rep Intensity Technique
Increase Your Intensity 150% with the One & a Half Technique
Once you're past the beginner stage of your resistance training life you're bound to hit some plateaus. This is a good place to add some intensity techniques like super sets, giant sets or drop sets. Well this technique is not as well known but it's still worth having in your training arsenal. It's known as One & a Halves or Rep & a Half and it's another method of ramping up the stress of any given set.
How to Retain Muscle After Surgery
How to Retain Muscle After Surgery
I laid back on the bench and I went through the same set up ritual I'd done thousands of times before. My three warm up sets were complete and this was my first working set. I was preparing for a bench press contest, my first in almost ten years. My right shoulder was always sore but I learned to live with the pain. I really had no business benching heavy again but my thick head was in denial. I grabbed a random guy in my vicinity to spot me. I had 275 lbs loaded on the bar and this was going to be an easy double on my way up to 300. I took control of the bar after the liftoff and I started my slow descent. Just as the bar touched my chest I felt it. It was an obvious "POP" in my right shoulder. In my mind, it was a pop heard throughout the gym. I was frozen with fear and luckily my spotter realized something went wrong and lifted the bar up to the racks. I sat up on the bench, grabbed my shoulder and stared at the floor. My arm went numb and I knew something very bad just happened. Thoughts of Surgery flashed through my mind. A future of pain, pain meds, Physical therapy and dare I say it? "atrophy." I instantly sunk into a deep depression. Continue reading
How Does A SWAT Team Really Train?
How Does A SWAT Team Really Train?
It was late July and the lead story on all the local news stations was the record setting heat and humidity predicted for the day. There was a health advisory warning against any outdoor activity. We started the day out on the range with an hour of PT (physical training) and then jumped right into some shooting drills in full gear. I drank a gallon of liquids before lunch. Our team paramedic was on hand in case anyone needed to be hooked up with some IV Fluids. We had to train… it was our SWAT training day. Not all SWAT training is very physical but this article will focus on some of the more physical aspects. Some training involves rapid movements that I wouldn't really consider exertive. We may be practicing various shooting drills out on a range or in a shoot house. We also spend a lot of time practicing building entries and room clearing drills using safe weapons, or force on force training using simunitions (paintball on steroids.) Often we'll make use of a building scheduled to be torn down and the team will treat it as the target of a high risk search warrant. We'll then go through the entire process of planning and executing the mission. Continue reading
Strong Grip of the Law
The Strong Grip Of The Law
by Jim Vaglica
Years ago, when I was a young rookie cop, I made a lot of arrests. One night I decided it was time to lock up this bad guy, so I moved in and grabbed his wrist. Immediately he began backing up and struggling. He pulled and shook his arm violently in an effort to break free. Eventually I lost my grip and I found myself in a foot chase. He was a young wiry guy in sneakers and he was fast enough to lose me in the darkness behind a building. Continue reading

Has anybody experienced hearing loss due to LO being on sildenafil? I've gone twice to go get the testing for my 6mo old but it was inconclusive either due to external noise or hearing impairment. I know this drug is commonly prescribed and would love hear other's experience. Also if your LO has hearing loss as a side effect from this drug, is it permanent?

I haven't heard about it with regard to Sildenafil, but I have heard of it happening in conjunction with IV-delivered Lasix (we asked about it with our LO too). Did your LO have that when in the ICU? If so, might be worth asking his card.

Thank ab629, my LO received lasix through an IV twice. I have a cardio check up this month and will ask his cardiologist.

HOUSTON (ICIS)--US-based Kronos reported on Wednesday a net loss of $29.9m (€22.1m) for Q3 2013, compared with a net income of $35.2m during the same period last year, as a result of lower sales and higher corporate expenses.
The pigment producer cited lower average titanium dioxide (TiO2) prices and a litigation settlement charge in 2013, well as higher raw materials costs in the year-to-date period.
Kronos generated $419.1m in Q3 net sales, down 11% year on year from $472.9m.
The company said its average TiO2 selling prices decreased 18% in Q3 2013 compared with the same period last year. The segment's profit in the third quarter was $2.4m, a 94% drop year on year from $42.0m.
Meanwhile, Kronos incurred $39.3m in corporate expenses in the third quarter, compared with $3.5m during the same period last year.
This includes a pre-tax litigation settlement charge of $35m, the company said.
Kronos was among four companies involved in a TiO2 price-fixing lawsuit. Kronos reached a settlement in September.

Dixie Carter promoted USWA
While doing a podcast interview with Steve Austin, Dixie Carter revealed that she has been involved with professional wrestling for much longer than people realized. Many are under the assumption that her career in the industry began when her family purchased the majority share of TNA. However, Dixie was actually a wrestling promoter back when she was in college. She even helped Jerry Lawler book a USWA live event.

Justin Bieber at Summerslam
When Kevin Eck revealed that Justin Bieber was extremely interested in wrestling a match at Summerslam in 2014, he revealed the idea that was being thrown around backstage by the creative department. They wanted to do a six man tag team match, which would have enabled them to protect the untrained Bieber. He would have teamed with John Cena and Big Show. Their opponents would have been the very popular Wyatt Family.

Shane McMahon not around
While a lot of wrestling fans still clamor for his return to WWE, Shane McMahon has expressed no desire to do so. In fact, he has been avoiding the family business for quite some time now. While everyone involved has been denying the backstage heat rumors, it speaks volume that McMahon doesn't even bother to attend Wrestlemania any more. That is the biggest event of the year, and one would expect him to at least be in attendance.

AJ Lee having baby
For whatever reasons, the internet wrestling community has long speculated that AJ Lee was pregnant. The speculation heated up even more once she shocked the world by retiring from WWE earlier this month. CM Punk was asked about that rumor during a convention this weekend, and he flat out denied that they were going to be having a baby. His focus right now is on training for his first UFC fight, so starting a family has to wait.

Wyatt Family reuniting
On the latest episode of Smackdown, Bray Wyatt had a moment with Erick Rowan after winning the match. That has led to speculations from within the internet wrestling community about a possible Wyatt Family reunion. That is actually an idea that has been discussed, as the front office feels that Rowan has not been able to connect with the audience whatsoever. Luke Harper has a little connection, but it's not enough to take him to the top of WWE.

NBC promoting WWE
Since a lot of advertisers are still avoiding WWE like the plague, Vince McMahon and the executives at NBC discussed ways of trying to alleviate the stigma of doing business with the biggest professional wrestling company in the world. The two sides agreed that they needed the network to help convince advertisers and sponsors that McMahon has changed the product to be a lot more family friendly than they were a couple of years ago.

Brock Lesnar blading
Since there is speculation within the internet wrestling community that Brock Lesnar purposely bladed himself at Wrestlemania during his main event title match against Roman Reigns, WWE felt that they needed to address the issue publicly. Management stated that it against their policy for the performers to purposely cause themselves to bleed during any of their shows. They stated that they are a family friendly product.

Manu wrestling promotion
After failing to make a big splash in WWE, Manu has now decided to transition from being just a wrestler to being a wrestling promoter. The man who is legally known as Afa Anoa'i Jr has announced that he is starting his own promotion called Battlefield Pro Wrestling, which will be based primarily out of Pennsylvania, a state that is still rather passionate about the industry. Several family members are expected to cameo appearances eventually.

Lina Fanene at Wrestlemania
If WWE decides to go through with the idea of having the world famous Samoan wrestling family showing up at Wrestlemania to celebrate with Roman Reigns when he wins the heavyweight championship from Brock Lesnar, one of the faces out there that you might not be familiar with yet is Lina Fanene. She is currently in the developmental program but not yet a regular on television. She is related to The Rock and is close to his mom.
February 24, 2015
Roman Reigns celebration
Since they want to give him the best chance possible at being accepted as the top star in WWE, there are rumors floating around that the company could bring in several members of the famous Samoan wrestling family to the show to help celebrate with Roman Reigns. The Rock is a possibility. Rikishi will be there since he is being inducted. Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso and Tamina Snuka are already under contract and available.

Great card and even better service
MagnetStreet went above and beyond for our order. We customized a save the date with a silly picture of us and the colors of the wedding. The quality team noticed some blurriness and off-coloring in our photo and emailed us immediately. They worked diligently with me to fix the issues on the photo, including sending me a sample, and sending me 3 different proofs. I'm so happy we used MagnetStreet!
Magnets are awesome!
Great experience, fast shipping, easy to design and very affordable
I really like how we got to custom make our colors to any magnet we wanted. It came out just like we wanted....except for the size....we expected the scale to be a tad bigger... but overall happy with it!
Very modern and fun design
We changed the colors on this magnet to match our wedding colors and felt that there was good optionality for doing this. The interface for changing the fonts and colors was pretty easy to use. Overall, we are very happy with the design, production, quality and customer service. Thanks magnetstreet!
Loved My Thank You Notes
I have received so many compliments on the Thank You cards I created on this site. People LOVED them and have said they are the nicest Thank You's they have ever seen! I used a template and customized it with my wedding colors and then used 3 of our wedding photos. The card stock and print quality are awesome!

Comment: Can-do spirit (Score 1) 531
by captainwisdom (#35817310) Attached to: The End of the "Age of Speed"
I don't think you guys get it. The astronauts are sad because the entire thinking of the American elite is "do with less" - at least for the regular people. When I was younger I used to think: how did those guys build the Hoover dam back 1930's, how did they go to the moon in 1960's, how did they go to the bottom of the ocean (Mariana's Trench) in the 1960's, how did we build the tallest skyscrapers. Now we do none of that. There's no "can-do" attitude. There's only what can "I get for free from the government".

Samajwadi Party has not yet decided on any name for the Presidential candidate, its chief Mulayam Singh Yadav said on Tuesday, distancing himself from the comments made by party colleague Shahid Siddiqui who had favoured A.P.J. Abdul Kalam but made a U-turn.
"The party has not taken any decision on this," Mr. Yadav told reporters when asked about whom the SP would support for the Presidentship.
When pointed out that his party colleague Shahid Siddiqui had favoured Mr. Kalam, Mr. Yadav dismissed it, saying "it may be his personal view but the party has not decided yet."
Mr. Siddiqui himself made a U-turn on the issue today, claiming that media had distorted his comment.
"I was asked by the media and I had said that if there is a consensus on Kalam, then we will support him. I have not suggested his name," he told reporters in Parliament House complex.
"There is no consensus in the party, the party has not taken any decision and the party has not even considered any name," Mr. Siddiqui said.

Are Most Sexually Dominant Men Abusive? "YES!" Says the Author of this New BDSM Novel, Mastery 101: The Manual
"An intensely erotic sexual fantasy, which is told without vulgarity."
BOSTON, MA (PRWEB) October 01, 2013
For most of his adult life, Jud Ormond, PhD, has been talking to submissive women (women with an innate need to give up control in intimate relationships) about every aspect of their lives. For the past 17 years, the Internet has allowed these discussions to go wider geographically and more deeply psychologically than ever before. As a Dom, himself, he has been in intimate Dom/Sub relationships with a number of submissive women. All of this contact with submissive women has permitted him to gain a tremendous understanding of these women and their lives. The most important thing that Dr. Ormond has learned from these conversations is that most Doms are abusive. "Domination" and "abusiveness" are not synonymous, he says.
Mastery 101: The Manual, published as an eBook and available in all eReader formats on October 1, is Jud Ormond's first novel. The book can be downloaded from all the usual sources, priced at $7.99. The first 20% of the book can be downloaded free. The story is a slice in the life of a fictional psychotherapist who specializes in helping submissive women get the most out of life. He does so in his own unique way, making the story an intensely erotic sexual fantasy, which is told without vulgarity.
Dr. Robert Phillips has dedicated his career as a psychotherapist, or "counsellor to women" as he calls himself, helping sexually submissive women achieve their full potential. Over the years he had learned that submissiveness—the innate intense need to give up control in intimate relationships—is, like left-handedness or homosexuality, a personality trait with which a woman either is born or she isn't. Rob also understands that such women often try to suppress it. In so doing, he knows that they miss out on one of the greatest gifts that Mother Nature has to offer. It has been his mission to help his submissive clients learn to celebrate this gift and to make the most of it in loving relationships.
Jud Ormond began writing erotica more than 30 years ago, but only recently began to publish his work. Born in 1944 in western Massachusetts, he attended public schools and was very active in instrumental music. Earning both his bachelor's degree and doctorate in management from one of the leading universities in the US, he has been a management scientist, manager and entrepreneur, co-founding businesses in both the technology and visual arts markets. He now devotes his time to performing music, assisting in the management of this wind ensemble, and writing. Jud Ormond is a pen name; in several of the worlds that he inhabits, adding "writer of erotic fiction" to his resume would likely raise eyebrows and not be a net plus.

FACTS & STATS: Site: CenturyLink Center Omaha (17,390) -- Omaha, Nebraska. Television: ESPN3.com. Home Record: UNI 7-2, Creighton 10-1. Away Record: UNI 2-2, Creighton 4-0. Neutral Record: UNI 0-4, Creighton 2-0. Conference Record: UNI 2-3, Creighton 5-0. Series Record: Creighton leads, 29-16.
GAME NOTES: The 12th-ranked Creighton Bluejays put their undefeated Missouri Valley Conference record on the line as the Northern Iowa Panthers visit the CenturyLink Center Omaha looking for an upset on Tuesday.
Northern Iowa will be looking for its first victory over a ranked opponent since Dec. 30, 2006 when it upset Wichita State by your points on the road. Coach Ben Jacobson's team is coming off its largest margin of victory in a MVC contest, as the Panthers downed Bradley, 84-53, to improve to 9-8 overall and 2-3 in conference play. Marc Sonnen led the way with seven makes from beyond the arc versus the Braves.
A group effort will be needed to take down Greg McDermott's Bluejays. They won their 10th in a row and improved to 16-1 overall with a 74-52 rout of Missouri State on Friday. The easy decision over the Bears also lifted Creighton to a perfect 5-0 mark in MVC action. Doug McDermott, who is the reigning conference Player of the Year, led the way once again with a season-high 39 points, thanks to his 10-of-11 performance from the field after halftime. Jahenns Manigat went 3-of-3 from 3-point range, while chipping in 11 points for the Bluejays, who shot 57.4 percent from the floor as a team.
This will be the 46th meeting between these schools in history. Creighton owns a 29-16 all-time series lead, but it has split its last four bouts with the Panthers in Omaha.
UNI opened up its matchup versus Bradley on a 22-2 run and never looked back, eventually taking a 41-14 advantage into the half as it held the Braves to just 5-of-22 shooting from the field. UNI was a sensational 15-of-26 from beyond the arc and also controlled the boards, 37-19. Sonnen led the team with 21 points, Jake Koch recorded a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds, and Seth Tuttle was two rebounds shy of a double-double scoring 13 points. Deon Mitchell had seven assists and 15 points while Anthony James and Matt Bohannon scored 11 points each. James (11.6), Tuttle (11.4), and Mitchell (10.4) are all scoring in double-figures while Sonnen and Koch are both very close to joining them.
McDermott's steady all-around production makes the Bluejays a very tough out. The 6-foot-8 junior is generating 23.6 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, while knocking down 50.7 percent of his attempts from long distance. Gregory Echenique's presence in the paint is factoring into Creighton's success, as he tallies 10.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per outing. Grant Gibbs showed he is a great facilitator when he led the MVC in assists (196) last season, but he may have advanced his passing as he is dealing out 5.8 helpers per outing as a senior.
The Panthers are not quite as dangerous as they were last season. Creighton has a great chance of finishing its regular season with just one loss as it is clearly the best team in the MVC. A spirited Omaha crowd should help the Bluejays add another triumph to their growing collection.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Creighton 75, Northern Iowa 63

The BSE benchmark Sensex on Friday fell sharply by 294 points in early trade mainly due to widespread losses in IT sector stocks after Infosys forecast lower-than-expected sales for fiscal 2013-14.
Besides, a mixed trend in the global markets also influenced the trading sentiment here.
The 30-share index declined by 294.59 points, or 1.59 per cent, to 18,247.61, with stocks of IT, tech, realty, consumer durables and auto sectors leading the fall. The gauge had gained nearly 316 points in the previous two sessions.
Similarly, the wide-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty declined by 76.50 points, or 1.37 per cent, to 5,517.50.
In the Asian region, Hong Kong's Hang Seng index was up by 0.15 per cent, while Japan's Nikkei Index shed 0.52 per cent in the morning trade on Friday.
The US Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 0.42 per cent higher in Thursday's trade.

In 2006, North Myrtle Beach City Council members voted to take complete control of beach safety, which had previously been ran by contracted independent service franchises. This step had never been taken before by a municipality in the Grand Strand area. Lifeguards are no longer "dual role" and do not rent beach chairs and umbrellas. The only function of lifeguards in North Myrtle Beach is beach safety.
Lifeguards are now trained above and beyond minimum guidelines of the United States Lifesaving Association. The City of North Myrtle Beach, Beach Service Division has the proud distinction to be the only USLA Certified Agency on the Grand Strand. Beach Services operation is over scene by Lifeguard Coordinators. All Coordinators are state certified law enforcement Officers and also certified Lifeguard Instructors. Each year the City hires approximately 105 lifeguards to cover 54 Lifeguard Towers and 9 miles of beachfront.

Giant aneurysm of the ductus arteriosus/Dev duktal anevrizma.
Diagnostic tools are transthoracic and/or transesophageal echocardiography, digital subtraction angiography (DSA), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 3D computed tomography (CT) scanning on clinically suspected patients.
Although regression of ADA after indomethacin treatment was clearly demonstrated by 3D CT scan, because of critical location and the high incidence of complications, it should be surgically corrected when diagnosed.
In patients with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) infective endarteritis is an important reason for hospital admission, with a higher incidence of 4,8 patients / 1000 hospital admissions in children aged < 16 years admitted to a pediatric cardiology referral center.
Previously healthy 13 year-old boy was referred to the hospital for a high fever and poor general condition. Physical examination and l aboratory studies showed stenotic bicuspid aortic valve, dilatation of the ascending aorta, discrete coarctation at the isthmic localization, PDA, aneurysmatic structure at the posterior of ascending aorta and endarteritis with no vegetation at any localization (Fig. 1). Surgical correction was performed with Dacron tube graft aortoplasty after successful medical endarteritis therapy (Fig. 2). This case is an example of the rare anatomic structure, which emphasizes importance of infective endarteritis as an life threatening complication in these patients.
