Researchers discover enzymes that degrade biomass into sugars
11:15 AM MST | December 31, 2013
Researchers from University (York, UK), the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique (Paris), and Aix-Marseille University (Marseille, France) say they have discovered a family of enzymes that can degrade hard-to-digest biomass into its constituent sugars. Difficult-to-digest sources include plant stems, wood chips, cardboard waste, and insect or crustacean shells. The researchers say that, by studying the biological origins and detailed chemistry of the enzyme family, they have shown that nature has a wide range of methods for degrading biomass that can be...

Gossip Girl
50 Shades of Grey Casting: Chace Crawford "Would Love the Challenge" of Playing Christian
Every night, we have terrible nightmares in which Chace Crawford (Nate Archibald) is no longer kissing all of the girls on Gossip Girl each week for our amusement. And then when we wake up, it's even worse because reality sets in and guess what, still no Chace on our boob tube. But when Chace stopped by recently to talk to Fox about kissing (what else), he threw a new fantasy in our minds, and that fantasy is Christian Grey.
"I would love the challenge," Chace says of playing the highly-anticipated male lead in the 50 Shades of Grey movie. "I have not read the books, but what I know is that it is risqué, and to be honest, anything to shake up from the way I have been going would be good." We're pretty sure he could use a little inspiration from his days smooching Elizabeth Hurley on Gossip Girl to fuel the flames.
"Hey, if they ask me to come and read, I would definitely do so. I don't even know what the character is like; I haven't read anything or heard anything about it!" Well, we suggest you pick up a copy and find out what you're in for, bucko. After all, just because you can knot a double-windsor around your neck doesn't mean you know more interesting ways to use a tie...
But he's not intimidated. "I am only comfortable with S&M sex scenes! The other ones are just too simple and boring for me," Chase teased reporters. "I actually think, whether it is a sex scene, or screaming at something to get something across. I think it is kind of attacked the same way, and you're in the work mode, and you stay professional. It has never been awkward or intimidating."
You had us at "sex scene" and "screaming." We'd watch that movie for sure. Is Chace too clean-cut to play Christian Grey, or could he stand to get a little dirty now that he's moved out of the Upper East Side?

Great tubes
These are a bit lighter than some other brands, though probably not by a huge margin. They do have removable valve cores, which is not that common. You can use a sealant like Stans in tubes too. Your tire may still flat, but you might only have to re-inflate rather than replace the tube. I have also bent the little core stem on other tubes and had to replace the whole tube. Could have just replace the core on these. I find they hold pressure pretty well, maybe a loss of 10psi or so over a few days. You should check your tire pressure before every ride anyway.

I don't understand why removable valve core is not an automatically listed attribute. Also the only types you can use with valve extenders

F IRE-RESISTANT FASTENING DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a flame and elevated temperature resistant separable fastening device of the type having two fastening members each provided with a very large number of closely spaced interengageable hooking elements of the hook and loop type, one of said members comprising hooks and the other of said members comprising loops. The fastening members are characterized by the property that opposed surfaces of the two can be pressed together in face-to-face relation so that a large number of hooks on one of the members will ongage a large umber of loops on the other member for several cycles of repeated engagement and disengagement without permanently deforming the hooks or loops and without substantially crushing the loops. The invention also relates to a method of making these fastening devices.
2. Description of the Prior Art US. Pat. Nos. 3,009,235 and 3,083,737 and 3,l54,837 disclose various forms of separable pile-fastening devices, i.e., a fastener comprised of two separate fastening tapes having interengageable piles which contain loop elements and loop-engaging hook elements. The fastening devices described in these patents are recited as preferably being constructed from synthetic polymer materials such as nylon (polyamide fiber manufactured by the Du Pont Company). For some applications these apes may be fabricated from natural textile material with an interwoven pile of synthetic material.
Engageable pile fasteners have found widespread use where ease of opening and closing is desired such as use in clothing, footwear, belts, curtains, tapestry, and for a variety of uses in commercial aviation. However, because of the flammable nature of the polymeric materials utilized in the manufacture of the interengageable pile elements, such fasteners, when used on commercial aircraft, must necessarily be resistant to flame and elevated temperatures and must meet he United States Federal Aviation Agency standards in this respect. It has generally been found that fasteners of the type referred to herein, when produced from a standard polyamide fiber such as the nylon monofilament produced by the Du Pont Company, ill bun when tested under the conditions specified in certain standard bum tests" such as that disclosed in United States Test CCC-T l9l b, method 5902, dated May 15, 1951. Accordingly, it is an object of his invention to provide a separable fastening device which will function satisfactorily as such and yet be resistant to flame nd elevated temperatures.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Broadly stated, the invention relates to a separable fastening device, resistant to flame and high temperatures, having two fastening members each provided with a very large number of closely spaced hooking elements of the hook and loop type such that pressing opposed surfaces of two fastening members together in face-to-face relation will engage a large number of hooks and loops.
The hook tape member is manufactured, in the warp and filling ground weave, from a high-temperature nylon, and, for the hook element, from a standard nylon monofilament. The pile loop fastening member is manufactured from high-temperature nylon in both the warp and filling ground weave and also for the pile loops. By high temperature nylon," there is meant a synthetic polyamide fiber having good dimensional stability and excellent heat and flame resistance. A high-temperature nylon such as Nomex (a nylon manufactured by the Du Pont Company) which, at temperatures above 700 F. (371 C.) degrades to a friable char at a rate proportional to the intensity of the heat source and in which any flame produced during oxidation is self-extinguishing when the fiber is withdrawn from the source of heat, is particularly suitable for use in commercial aircraft.
A major drawback, to date, with respect to the use of hightemperature nylon in producing the separable fastening device described herein is its unavailability in a filament greater than 2 denier in size which is much too weak a filament for the production of satisfactory loop elements. It has been found that a 20-denier standard nylon is sufficient to produce a satisfactory pile loop fastening member. The loops themselves must have sufficient strength and body to withstand repeated engagements with the hook elements, which is not possible with a weak filament. However, the exceptional flame-resistant properties of high temperature nylon makes highly desirable its adaptation for use in the separable fastening device.
For the purpose of enhancing the firmness of engagement and strength of flame resistant separable fastening device, the present invention provides a method for weaving he fastening member which comprises he pile loops from mutifilament yarns of the light-denier high-temperature nylon. The hightemperature nylon, which is a Z-denicr filament, may, of course, be twisted to form yarns of greater denier size. Such yarns, however, are unsatisfactory for producing the loops because of their tendency to twist upon themselves and close after their formation during weaving thus preventing engagement with the hooking element.
In the present invention a twisted yarn of high-denier hightemperature nylon is produced and is then reverse plied with another such twisted yarn to produce a dead yarn which has sufficient strength and body to produce a pile loop that may be fixed and stabilized and which will retain its shape. A separable fastening device produced in accordance with this invention will be flame and high-temperature resistant and will comprise a pile loop member which affords increased probability of engagement of the hooks with the loops so that a major percentage, if not all, of the hooks 'on the hook-carrying member will become engaged with a loop on the loop-carrying member.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pile loop tape member of the fastening device of the invention showing pile loop elements extending from one surface thereof;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective of the pile loop element in a fastening device ofthe invention;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary perspective of a hook element in a fastening device of the invention; and
FIG. 4 is a side elevation of two tape members forming a fastening device in opposed face-to-face relationship but spaced apart.
With reference to FIG. 2, the pile loop fastening member is manufactured by forming a base fabric which comprises a number of weft threads 12 and warp threads 14. The loop 16 of said fabric very formed as supplementary warp threads which are passed over metal lancets during the weaving operation, in a loom generally employed in weaving velvet ribbon. Said supplementary warp threads which form the loops, as well as said weft threads 12 and warp threads 14 in the ground weave, are manufactured from Du Pont Nomex nylon yarn which is resistant to flame and high temperature. Because the Nomex nylon cannot be made in the larger denier size required for satisfactory use in the regular pile loop element (20 denier), it is necessary to take a large number of the very fine Nomex nylon filaments (2 denier) and apply twist to them to produce a yarn of sufficiently high denier and then to take two such ends (strands) and ply them in a reverse twist. The reverse twist is necessary to produce what is known as dead yarn having sufficient strength and body to produce satisfactory loops.
To produce the loops 16 shown in FIG. 2, the Nomex nylon was prepared by twisting filaments of 2-denier Nomex in 2% turns per inch S. Two ends each of the ZOO-denier multifllament yarn thus produced were then reverse plied together in 2% turns per inch Z. The Nomex yarn thus plied has been found to be quite satisfactory for use in producing the loop elements; it resists breaking, and is sufficiently stabilized so as to be easily engageable, in repeated use, with the hook element. The loops themselves are fanned out during manufacture and remain so because of the stabilization imparted to the yarn by the reverse twisting and plying of the filaments. The pile loop member thus formed is shown in FIG. 1, and, when said loop element is placed in face-to-face relation with the hooking member as shown in FIG. 4, they may be pressed together to fasten them to each other, and progressively peeled apart when it is desired to separate the two members.
The ground weave fabric or base material, into which the pile loops are woven, is also manufactured from Nomex nylon which has the following yarn characteristics: The ground warp yarn used is a ZOO-denier Nomex nylon having 100 filaments per thread twisted 20 turns per inch in the S direction; the filling yarn or weft yarn is a ZOO-denier Nomex nylon having 100 filaments per thread twisted five turns per inch in the Z direction.
The hooking member, shown in FIG. 3, is manufactured from Du Pont Nomex yarn in the warp l4 and filling ground weave l2 and standard Du Pont nylon monofilament as the hooks 17. The hook element is manufactured from the standard nylon monofilament because ofits ability to be thermoset and to retain its shape, necessary factors for satisfactory engagement of the hooks and loops. The danger of flammability of the hooks is negligible because of the smothering effect of the pile loop member when the hooks are in engagement therewith.
The loops are preferably woven with considerable firmness into the base fabric 10, which is formed from warp yarns l4 and weft yarns 12 as shown in H6. 2. After the weaving operation has been completed, the loops 16 formed from multifilament Nomex nylon yarns may be fastened or stabilized so that they retain their shape or position. This may be effected by heat setting, by impregnation of the fabric by adhesive products, by a heat-settable resin capable of withstanding such temperatures as are likely to be encountered in normal usage, or by a combination thereof. It must be remembered, however, that the adhesive to be used must conform to the standards of the burn test" referred to herein when the material is to be used under conditions where those standards will apply. In this manner, a very large number of durable and firmly anchored loops are provided.
We claim:
1. A separable fastening device of the type having two fastening members each provided with a very large number of closely spaced interengageable hooking elements, one of said fastening members comprisin hooks and the other of said members comprising loops and characterized by the property that pressing opposed surfaces of the two fastening members together in face-to-face relation, a large number of hooks will engage a large number of loops, the improvement in combination therewith comprising a base material with said loop elements secured thereto in positions extending generally upright from one surface of the base, said loops being formed from a flame and elevated temperature resistant multifilament hightemperature nylon yarn, said multifilament high-temperature nylon yarn comprising two plied high-temperature nylon strands each of which comprises a number of high-temperature nylon filaments which are twisted in the S direction to form said strands and, subsequently, reverse plied with one another in the Z direction.
2. A separable fastening device according to claim 1 wherein said multifilament high-temperature nylon yarn is comprised of two plied strands of ZOO-denier high-temperaturc nylon each of which comprises filaments per strand of 2-dcnier high-temperature nylon twisted 2% turns per inch in the S direction and, subsequently, each of said ZOO-denier strands then being reverse plied together 2% turns per inch in the Z direction.
3. A separable fastening device according to claim 1 wherein the base material of the loop-fastening member is woven, with the loop elements interlaced within the base and extending generally upright from one surface of the base material.
4. A separable fastening device according to claim 1 wherein the base material is shrunk about the roots of the loop-fastening member to interlock the loop elements into the base material.

Rupert Murdoch's close encounter with Parliament this morning was an experience fraught with both danger and opportunity. If the News Corp. mogul failed to capitalize on the latter, he at least successfully skirted the former, and ended up without any egg on his face — just a little shaving cream.
The danger was obvious: a roomful of MPs, each eager to be seen by an angry British public as the one who tripped up the billionaire target of its outrage. None of them managed it. Murdoch contradicted himself once or twice. He seemed decidedly fuzzy when it came to names and dates. He retreated into long pauses before giving the shortest of answers. He went off on a tangent about the lack of corruption in Singapore's government that was either a badly delivered joke or a clumsy piece of pandering.
But he avoided a Colonel Jessup moment. With News Corp. already at the bottom of a hole, Murdoch declined to seize any of the many shovels proffered him. He didn't say anything to make matters worse, as a 5 percent rally in News Corp.'s share price attests.
In a criminal probe, there are no points awarded for style. Public relations and corporate politics are another matter. Murdoch is lucky that a prankster got close enough to spatter him with shaving cream from a failed pie-in-the-face attempt. Otherwise, his graceless answer to an MP's question about whether he accepts personal responsibility for anything that happens on his watch — as two of his deputies have done — might have been tomorrow's headline. Murdoch's decision to deflect all blame downward undercut an artfully (ghost)written prepared statement, in which he said, "This is the most humble day of my career."
With more and more insiders doubting Murdoch's ability to navigate the crisis, the hearing was his chance to prove that he remains, at 80, as nimble, cagey and tactically brilliant as ever. Instead, it was his son James who came off as deft and in command. As his father groped for words, James visibly champed at the bit in his eagerness to demonstrate his mastery. If the coming months don't hold any further land mines to personally damage him, today's hearing will likely be seen by future biographers as the day James took the reins.

Patients with congestive heart failure, angina pectoris, or acute myocardial infarction within the last 6 months were excluded from the Phase 3 studies. If symptoms of angina pectoris should newly appear or worsen, CARDURA XL should be discontinued.
There is no experience with CARDURA XL overdosage. Overdosage experience with the doxazosin IR is limited. Two adolescents who each intentionally ingested 40 mg doxazosin IR with diclofenac or paracetamol, were treated with gastric lavage with activated charcoal and made full recoveries. A two-year-old child who accidentally ingested 4 mg doxazosin IR was treated with gastric lavage and remained normotensive during the five-hour emergency room observation period. A six-month-old child accidentally received a crushed 1 mg tablet of doxazosin IR and was reported to have been drowsy. A 32-year-old female with chronic renal failure, epilepsy and depression intentionally ingested 60 mg doxazosin IR (blood level 0.9 µg/mL; normal values in hypertensives=0.02 µg/mL); death was attributed to a grand mal seizure resulting from hypotension. A 39-year-old female who ingested 70 mg doxazosin IR, alcohol and Dalmane® (flurazepam) developed hypotension which responded to fluid therapy.
The most likely manifestation of overdosage would be hypotension, for which the usual treatment would be intravenous infusion of fluid, keeping the patient in the supine position, and in certain circumstances, the administration of vasopressors. As doxazosin is highly protein bound, dialysis would not be indicated.
CARDURA XL is contraindicated in patients with a known sensitivity to other quinazolines (e.g., prazosin, terazosin), doxazosin, or any of the inert ingredients.

Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund will participate in a symposium in Cairo, from 11 to 13 May, to analyse the last two editions of the Africa Cup of Nations. Equatorial Guinea and Gabon hosted the 2012 tournament, while South Africa hosted this year's event.
The continental championships are held biannually. However, a decision was taken to move the tournament to odd-numbered years, so that it does not clash with the Fifa World Cup. The tournament in South Africa was the first of the odd-numbered events.
Igesund will be joined by the South African Football Association's Acting Technical Director, Fran Hilton-Smith, in Cairo.
The head coaches of all the countries that participated in the two editions have each been asked to make short presentations on the performance of their teams and share their experiences. They will also share their views about the technical trends in the development of the game in Africa.
"This is a great opportunity for us as a country to share ideas with other national teams and federations especially with a lot of emphasis on the development of the sport on the continent," Igesund said in a statement.
"Such opportunities, in which great soccer minds come together in the same room, don't come along more often. Hence I intend to make the best of this trip.
'World beaters'
"There is great talent on this continent but it just needs to be nurtured in the correct way and some day we will become world beaters," he added.
"If you look closely, most of the players from this continent are making massive contributions in big leagues around the world; the likes of Steven Pienaar (England - South Africa); Yaya Toure (England - Cote d'Ivoire); Emmanuel Adebayo (England - Togo); Michael Essien (Spain - Ghana); Alex Song (Spain - Cameroon), to mention but a few, so this debate could not have come at a more ideal moment."
SA improvement
With Igesund in charge, Bafana Bafana climbed 25 places after Afcon 2013 and now occupy 60th place in the Fifa World Rankings.
In their most recent match, a 2014 Fifa World Cup qualifier against the Central African Republic in Cape Town on 23 March, they won 2-0.
South Africa's next games are scheduled to be away matches against the CAR and Ethiopia in June.

Third-Gen Chevy Camaro Vortec Heads Install - The Third-Gen Solution

Third-Gen Chevy Camaro Vortec Heads Install - The Third-Gen Solution
Scoggin-Dickey made this rotating display stand to visibly illustrate the differences between Vortec heads and conventional small-block Chevy heads, such as these used by 1985-92 TPI applications. To do so, they drilled the Vortec head for the conventional small-block Chevrolet intake bolt pattern and installed a small-block Chevy gasket.
On close inspection, Nicky sticks his pen in the crack (about an 1/8 nch) between the vintage small-block Chevy intake gasket and the top of the port in the Vortec head. This display shows graphically how bolting a stock intake manifold onto a set of Vortec heads would create sealing problems on a raised-port Vortec cast-iron cylinder head.
Next, Nicky uses his special rotating display stand to show what happens when a backyard builder bolts a stock TPI intake manifold to a set of cast-iron Vortec heads. The person was clever to drill the Vortec head for the TPI intake bolt pattern. The intake will bolt on, but is not compatible.
On close inspection, Nicky points out the intake manifold will not cover the ports. Look at the gap. People caught in the middle of a Vortec head swap for their 1985-92 tuned-port had to spend a considerable amount of time and money to weld extra material onto their intake manifold, which also required machine work to mill the surface flat for proper mounting. When they welded the material to the top of the port they would also have to open the port up to match the Vortec head. And if they were really doing it right they would have to put a little material into the bottom of the intake manifold too so the ports would line up correctly.
Laying the head gasket of the TPI motor onto the Vortec head shows a water routing difference. Notice the head gasket for the stock small-block head has an opening for routing bypass water through the head. Vortec heads are not so equipped.
Before the Vortec came out, the water pump bypass was built into the block, the path illustrated here with this yellow cord.
The new TPI Vortec manifold requires an external bypass, ala the big-block Chevy. The bypass runs from the front of the intake (shown here) to the water pump. Some water pumps have a port. If not, then you can tee the bypass into the heater hose.
To use your EGR, you'll need SDPC's EGR Installation Kit (PN SD3816). The kit consists of the crossover pipe wrapped in protective silver material, two gaskets, bolts to attach the crossover pipe to the intake manifold, and the bare pipe to weld into the header tube which is above the No. 8 cylinder.
Here's what the EGR kit looks like mounted. Notice the length of the EGR pipe. Drill a 1/2-inch hole in the header pipe and cut the EGR pipe to length to fit inside the header pipe about 1/4 inch. Finally, MIG weld or braze (torch and brass wire) the EGR pipe to the header pipe.
You can see the EGR crossover pipe installed at the rear of the engine. Because EGR is associated with emissions, some people may pass it off as a performance deterrent. The lack of an EGR can lower performance and fuel economy. However, if you don't run the EGR system, a stock computer may actually reduce your total timing and that can rob horsepower and overall performance.
Some applications may require running a "Tee" for the vacuum brake booster, as seen just above the drivers side valve cover. This is a plain 3/8-inch Tee available at any parts store.
Car people love the way the TPI looks topside. The tubes give the 350 a sexy appearance, plus they really work. Below are the specifications for an TPI engine with Vortec heads which Scoggin-Dickey dynoed. See the dyno sheet for the horsepower and torque numbers, which are quite healthy for the investment. Horsepower peaked at 356.7 @ 4,900 rpm, while torque was 415.8 @ 4,200 rpm.
Scoggin-Dickey recommends this timing chain for 1985-92 "Gen One" blocks with a hydraulic roller cam using the factory retainer to hold the camshaft in place. Why do you want this timing set instead of stock? Nicky cites increased horsepower and torque. This chain will take up to about 750 hp, no problem. It has both billet cam and crank gears. It is nine-way adjustable for timing. It has an encapsulated Torrington bearing made onto the cam gear and it also uses a true double-roller German-made timing chain.
To use the double-roller timing gear set, you'll need to modify the block around these three oil galley plugs. Minor grinding is required at the top of each galley to clear the cam gear.
Nicky Fowler is a car guy who likes to do more than sell high-performance parts. When he heard GM owners were having trouble adapting Vortec heads to their TPI motors, he figured out a way to help them. He and the troops at SDPC made their own TPI Vortec manifold to fill the void. These Vortec/TPI base manifolds are also available at select GM Performance Parts dealers and specialty fuel-injection warehouse distributors.

Telecom Working Group
Introduction to the Telecom Working Group
The Telecom Working Group (TWG) within the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) has been designated to provide direct influence on how to deliver secure cloud solutions and foster cloud awareness within all aspects of Telecommunications. The TWG Co -Chairs are responsible for governance and oversight of the TWG. The efforts are jointly executed by CSA Global, Telecom cloud communities (i.e. focus groups, associations, research institutes, forums, academia), Solution Providers and relevant working group responsible for authoring CSA's Guidance V.3. The Telecom Working Group has been formed to coordinate research and the execution of this work.
Telecom Working Group Leadership

Bernd Jaeger, Colt (Germany)
TWG Research Initiative Roadmap
How does the Telecom Industry meet the GRC Stack?
Objective: The GRC stack currently provides a detailed framework regarding governance, risk, and compliance control within a cloud environment. However, it primarily addresses the cloud customer requirements rather than the business plans of the telecom industry or cloud provider in general. The objective of this initiative is to evaluate and document the current adoption/acceptance/perception of the GRC stack within the industry.
Work plan:
- Create short questionnaire evaluating the adoption/acceptance/perception of the GRC stack – Dec 2011
- Utilize all available industry contacts to perform interviews (in person as much as possible) – Q1 2012
- Publish a report – Q2 2012
- Feedback findings into GRC projects – Q2 2012
The Telecom Industry GRC Stack Implementation/adoption guidance
Objective: Provide guidance about how to implement the GRC stack
Work plan:
- Use results from the GRC industry questionnaire to identify the most significant issues preventing adoption
ISO 27017 – Telecom Carrier Liaison
Objective: Support drafting the new standard and give industry specific feedback.
Work plan:
- Participate in ISO 27017 (Cloud Security Controls) standards drafting (CSA is contributor to 27017-2)
- Develop questionnaire based on DoC of 27017 meetings
- Draft questions to be tested on telco to validate
- Draft a cover letter to accompany questionnaire
- Target Jan. 15th for release of cover letter and questionnaire
How to achieve effective security event management in a provider grade cloud environment
Objective: Discuss today's available detection, correlation and response technologies and how they are currently used within the industry. Create a WP of best practices to implement an effective security event management.
Create a whitepaper that includes:
- Identify available technologies
- Do research on what is used today and how
- Rate effectiveness
- Identify successful strategies and the best way to implement them
- Give an overview over future prospects and emerging technologies/strategies
How to provide compliance monitoring to cloud customer?
Objective: Proof of compliance in the cloud will become increasingly important for cloud user. How can compliance monitoring be implemented meeting the customer requirements and the CSPs business plan?
Work plan:
- Identify most common compliance requirements (likely related to industry verticals markets)
- Identify current compliance monitoring strategies and how this is or could be implemented in a cloud environment. If not, try to identify now approaches.
- What are effective (function + costs) implementation strategies?
How to provide forensic support in a multi-tenant, provider grade cloud infrastructure?
Objective: How can provider support forensics investigation in a multi tenant environment without violating customers privacy?
Work plan:
- Identify available technologies
- Identify current common strategies
- Create whitepaper on forensic support in a CSP environment
- What are effective (function + costs) implementation strategies?

(PRWEB) February 12, 2014
Concerned individuals, along with their equally concerned family members and friends who want to know the difference between someone who uses painkillers – and someone who likely has a painkiller abuse problem – should read the latest blog from Best Drug Rehabilitation.
"80 percent of the world's prescription painkillers are taken by Americans," commented Per Wickstrom, Best Drug Rehabilitation's CEO. "And while most of these prescriptions are taken as directed by doctors, there's a growing incidence of people who are being drawn into the unimaginably devastating world of addiction."
According to the Best Drug Rehabilitation blog post, some signs that indicate a painkiller abuse problem include:
"While each individual story of painkiller addiction is unique, the fact is that millions of people right this very minute can get on the road to recovery through inpatient treatment at an accredited and reputable facility," added Per Wickstrom. "In addition to getting 'round the clock care from caring and trained professionals, individuals will have the opportunity to re-build their lives in a safe, secure, confidential and non-judgemental environment. They'll also have the chance to meet others who are on the road to recovery, and build friendships that last a lifetime. Painkiller addiction doesn't happen overnight, and frankly, neither does recovery. However, make no mistake: recovery is possible, and it's happening in treatment facilities across the country every day."
The full text of Best Drug Rehabilitation's latest blog entitled "How to Know if You have a Painkiller Abuse Problem" is available at http://www.bestdrugrehabilitation.com/blog/addiction/how-to-know-if-you-have-a-painkiller-abuse-problem/.
For additional information or media inquiries, contact Amber Howe, Executive Director BDR, at (231) 887-4590 or ahowe(at)rehabadmin(dot)com.
About Best Drug Rehabilitation
Best Drug Rehabilitation offers treatment programs, and believes that having family close by during a stay in rehab can make a big difference in whether or not the process is successful. Led by CEO Per Wickstrom, Best Drug Rehabilitation also understands that recovering from an addiction is an intense emotional and physical challenge, and as such provides clients with a comfortable and private space that is safe and free of anxiety. Ultimately, Best Drug Rehabilitation offers recovery geared to the personalized needs of each client, which is an option that makes the chance for long-term success much more likely.

Boiled Peanuts – Pelion, South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Lexington County Photos | Boiled Peanuts
In 2006, the General Assembly made boiled peanuts the official state snack of South Carolina.
Boiled peanuts have a long history in South Carolina, dating all the way back to the Civil War, when Confederate soldiers used the legume as an important source of protein during food shortages.
The practice continued after the war and eventually spread throughout the state. Farming communities would gather in the fall and boil the unsold peanuts in a harvest celebration. This tradition is still prevalent in smaller towns such as Pelion, where they hold the annual South Carolina Peanut Party.
Boiled Peanuts Map
Boiled Peanuts Add Info and More Photos
The purpose of the South Carolina Picture Project is to celebrate the beauty of the Palmetto State and create a permanent digital repository for our cultural landmarks and natural landscapes. We invite you to add additional pictures (paintings, photos, etc) of Boiled Peanuts, and we also invite you to add info, history, stories, and travel tips. Together, we hope to build one of the best and most loved SC resources in the world!

What's In Your Stash? Yarn? Thread? Wire? Plarn? Other?
I stash all sorts of things...I work with yarn, embroidery thread, raw wool, and crewel wool. (I knit, embroider, and weave as well as crochet.)
Is It Mostly Scrap Yarn, New Yarn, Both, Neither?
I almost always have both scrap yarn and new yarn in my stash. I love using scrap pieces in my tapestry weaving to add flavor and variety, so collect all my own as well as gather scraps from family members.
How Big Is Your Stash?
Right now my stash is seriously depleted. I've been crocheting a lot of fitted shawls for relatives lately --- arthritic shoulders love having the extra warmth! I prefer having a goodly amount of yarn and thread on hand --- you never know when you'll want to start a project!
Any Organizational Advice You'd Give to New Crocheters?
Make sure to keep your hooks where you can easily find and access them. For myself, I have had to replace hooks at an extraordinary rate...until I made my own lining for my basket and sewed in pockets for them.
Explain What You Used to Organize Your Yarn / Thread
I started with a simple round, lidded wicker basket, but a very large one. I then took a large piece of muslin and made a liner that fits perfectly inside, sewing in pockets for my hooks, knitting needles, gauges, and so forth. I then used heavy thread and sewed the top of the liner to the top of the basket.
I have a second-hand dresser that I use for sewing and needlecrafts. Smaller items like embroidery thread, hoops, and hand-sewing needles go into those heavy plastic, zippered bags that sheets and blankets come in, sorted by type, then into the drawers.
How Do You Sort Your Yarn?
I organize mainly by fiber type. Yarns go in my basket, while most other fibers go into the drawer, inside plastic bags so I can see what's what easily.
I usually work straight out of my big basket when either crocheting or knitting with yarn; the basket is tall enough to keep the yarn from jumping out as I work, and if needed, I can put the lid on, too.
What I'd Do Differently
- I love my work basket. It has been great and held up for years. It is the absolute best solution I've found for keeping my hooks, needles, and yarns.
- I used to save those zippered plastic bags without knowing what I wanted them for, but knowing there was something. Now they're essential for sorting and keeping threads and work safe and clean.
Amy Solovay, About.com Crochet, says:
To Beth: Thanks so much for posting this; what an inspiring organizational system! Your basket is gorgeous, and the liner you made for it is genius.
To Everyone: If this idea inspires you, you might also enjoy an article by Pamela Cole Harris called 20 Ways to Use Baskets in Your Home.
I'd also like to point out that you can read more of Beth's fantastic organizing ideas. As About.com's former Guide to pottery, Beth has shared strategies for how to set up a pottery studio.

The Starkville Historic Preservation Commission will review a draft of "quick start" design guidelines for historic neighborhoods at its 5:30 p.m. Tuesday meeting in City Hall's courtroom.
Mississippi Heritage Trust Executive Director David Preziosi has been working with the HPC since September on revamped design guidelines for historic buildings in neighborhoods under the HPC's purview. The "quick start" draft review is the latest step on a schedule set to deliver a final guideline draft to the Starkville Board of Aldermen on Aug. 1. The meeting agenda calls for the HPC to provide comments and suggested changes to the "quick start" draft to Preziosi by Jan. 30.
The idea of a "quick start" section first arose at the HPC's August meeting after Chairman Michael Fazio said re-evaluated how closely to emulate Philadelphia's historic preservation guidelines. He said he believed Philadelphia's long sections on maintenance, preservation philosophy, history and other subjects bogged down the rest of the document.
"I would like for us to think about having the bigger items as essentially addenda," Fazio said. "My thinking is colored by the desire to have ... all kinds of buzz phrases, the most transparent document, the most user-friendly document, the document that doesn't put people off instantly when they look at it. It's like when you buy a new camera, a new electronic device, and it makes you go to the manual, but then you've got the little thing that folds out a couple of times and you can get going."
Commissioner Cindy Sullivan quickly identified the short manual Fazio described as a "quick start menu," and the commission has used the term since its inception.
A sample of Preziosi's "quick start" draft found in the HPC e-packet organizes the guidelines into three columns: one for changes to historic buildings owners might propose, one for actions the HPC would take in response to those proposals and one for more information where applicable. The draft often uses the "More Information" column to direct readers to pages of the guidelines containing specific details.
The sample covers several of the guideline topics the HPC discussed Nov. 24, including artificial siding materials and door and window replacement. For instance, it says vinyl and aluminum siding over original siding is not allowed.
"If people have metal siding up, they don't have to take it down, but they cannot add it," Fazio said at the Nov. 24 meeting. "That would be true for new construction as well as rehabilitation."

Residents Against Gravel Extraction (R.A.G.E)
is an umbrella organisation fighting gravel extraction in the N.W. Surrey area
and represents the Egham, Stroude, Thorpe Ward and Whitehall Lane Residents' Associations.
3rd May 2009
Sorry to bring you bad news – Hanson Aggregates UK Limited has submitted an
application to Surrey County Council to dig 2,400,000 tonnes of sand and gravel from
a huge site of 57 hectares (141 acres) at Milton Park Farm, Egham. It is bounded by
Manorcroft Road, the M25 motorway, Stroude Road, and Whitehall Lane. It would
stretch from Manorcroft School and the Egham Bowls Club to beyond Great Fosters
and to Procter & Gamble's research laboratories. The extraction and filling could lastfrom between 10 and 15 years!
The application estimates that there would be approximately 230–280 HGV lorry
movements per day (each of up to 20 tonnes) entering and leaving the site at a new
roundabout to be built on Stroude Road between (a) the junction of that road with
Manorcroft Road, Braywood Avenue and Whitehall Lane and (b) the roundabout in front
of Milton Park. It is anticipated that some (5%) lorries would turn north and go through
Egham but most (95%) would turn south and then East over the M25 motorway bridge
on New Wickham Lane. The majority (60%) would turn left again into Vicarage Road
and attempt to cross the railway at Pooley Green, 30% would turn south on to Thorpe
Lea Road towards Thorpe and on to Chertsey and 5% would continue eastwards
through Egham Hythe. Some of these lorries would bring in inert waste to fill the gravel
pits for restoration to agriculture and some would bring cement to feed the concrete
batching plant located near the proposed silt lagoon behind Manorcroft School. The
view of works buildings 15 metres (49 feet) high would be a visual intrusion. Therewould be additional noise and dust; and air quality might be affected.
Before excavating each phased area, low-permeability clay walls would be inserted
around the perimeter, to enable the quarry to be pumped dry. These walls would also
later maintain a geological barrier to the inert waste fill material. Although relief drains
would be put in place and monitoring carried out, there are serious concerns regarding
any disturbance of groundwater flows and levels; with possibly an increase in the risk offlooding, or worse, subsidence.
So what can we do to stop all this happening? Yes, we've had these threats of gravel
raising before and we've successfully fought off all previous applications. This one
however looks more serious. The hard copy of the planning application, together with
its environmental statement and appendices, measures 7 inches in thickness andweighs 15 pounds!
You can write to The Director of Technical Services, Runnymede Borough
Council, Civic Centre, Station Road, Addlestone, KT15 2AH quoting reference
number RU.09/0299: Milton Park Farm, Egham; preferably by mid-May but,
please, well before the date of the RBC Planning Meeting (3 June) – the
earlier the better! Applications for gravel extraction are a County issue and thus
RBC does not determine the outcome but can raise a strong objection to
Surrey County Council.
After consideration by RBC, the application will be then be discussed and determined
by the SCC Planning & Regulatory Committee on 22nd July. (You may want to keep a
copy of your RBC letter to send to SCC.) The application can be viewed at
http://www.runnymede.gov.uk/: click on Planning, on Planning Applications Register
Online, View current and past Planning Applications, Planning Applications Archive,
Week 15 – 8th April 2009; then scroll down to RU.09/0299 Milton Park Farm; and click
on 'Unfortunately the files…are extremely large'. The Non-Technical Summary (18 MB)is the best place to start.
I am arranging a Public Meeting on 9th June at 7.30pm in Manorcrofts School hall togalvanize local opposition ahead of the SCC review.

Hack mounting points for CB550F -Need ideas to keep OEM exhaust intact
I have a 1977 CB550F Supersport with the OEM swooped exhaust hanging down the right hand side. The exhaust collector is immediately adjacent to the right side bottom frame rail.
Has anyone here dealt with this exhaust system on a CB550F? Mine really looks too good to remove or hack up.
Not my bike but damn close.
For the lower front.
There should be two bolts that allow you to split the frame for engine removal. Take two thin plates and bolt it to both sides of the frame using two longer bolts. Then make attach them to a tube that comes down following the frame just a head of the frame. We could make you one of these using a CB750 we have in the shop as they are very similar.
For the lower rear, remove the center stand and make a braket that replaces the center stand (we can provide this one as it is the same as used on our CB750
For the two upper mounts use frame clamps which we can also supply.
Jay G
DMC sidecars
I understand the 750 frame has a removable section but the 550 is a one piece. A subtle difference around the headstock. I can see how that lower front mount you suggested will work best.
I should have gone and taken a look at a bike rather then going by memory. The CB 750 is pretty much the same as the CB 550. The frame does not have a drop out section.
Jay G
DMC sidecars
Just my $.02, but if your CB550F is as nice as the one pictured and is all original, I'd say don't hack it at all. Sometimes tugs aren't quite the same solo after towing a hack around, especially a bike with a light frame like that.
It's going to have a velorex 520 attached to it for dog hauling duty. I won't carry big weight till the mounts are sorted out. The CB is all original but not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. It's a 9 out of 10 for condition. Basically a time machine.
I'm not saying don't do it, but I agree with MotoJ that it may cause significant additional wear and tear, which might be a shame on a still-decent machine that is probably pretty hard to find decent pit-free fork tubes for these days. :3
I made a bracket on the footpeg mount for my lower rear mount, that brings the eye bolt out past the exhaust. As a result, the lower rear mount is not square, rather it points forward and up, but it seems to be working ok so far. The mount gets in the way of the footpeg a little, which was annoying at first, but I no longer notice it.
Just the empty car will be a lot of stress on that bike. A subframe might save the frame from twisting, but the swingarm, forks, steering head, shock mounts, etc. are all likely to get some tweaking. The wheel bearings will take a lot of abuse too.
At the least, I'd save that OEM exhaust and buy a cheapo MAC 4 into 1. Those originals are almost unobtainium nowadays. You could probably sell it to the right person and buy a whole other bike.
Whatever you do, post lots of pics!
Does the 550 have the big triangles that hold the front of the motor?
If so, make new versions that use the same holes to mount frame to engine, and build mounts from those, they're a little high for lower mounts, and too low for high mounts, but they offer a strong place to start, I would think.
I've been making up a mounting system/frame for my '86 Concours that relies on a whole lot of cutting and bending to fab up mounts without a subframe, but I'm also not fighting with stock bodywork, as that was an impromptu roadside mod...:D
What I mean by using both those plates, is to have essentially a bar that is cantilevered off both, so it's a solid piece coming out just behind the exhaust, in front of the cylinders...ish...
My bike does have the triangles attaching the motor to the frame at the front. I have the limited ability to fabricate items here at work. Attaching to the centerstand mount is a good idea too since that is a super strong point on the frame for obvious reasons. I'll overhaul the forks and springs rates for the additional weight. I will research fork oil substitutes with higher Extreme Pressure properties to help out the fork slider bushings live a slightly happier life.
Anyone have a leading link front end just sitting around? :D
Finding a used LL for your bike will be tough, I bet.
After some discussion with some sidecar savvy folks.. I'm going to start designing a 100% removable subframe assembly. Going straight to the frame for the lower front mount is asking for trouble.
I'm going to start off with 1" square steel stock for material and go from there.
Here are the mounting points I'm thinking of using.
I'll duplicate the triangle stock with a triangle of my own and have a 1/4" steel spar running along side the frame tubing to the L shaped square tube frame I will have bolted to the lower engine mounts with steel ears.
I will run one square tube spar back to the center stand mount but I'm short on ideas on how to approach this one.
Run a bolt through the center stand pivot ( its hollow) to a u-shaped bracket that is part of the front assembly. Or keep it independent?
Here is how the exhaust affects the rest of the mounts.
I wonder how much trouble I can get into with this?

First Kaley posted a photo of her dog Norman drooling while...The Inquisitr 2014-10-06

The Big Bang Theory star recently posted an Instagram snapshot that shows what she looks like before and after getting all glammed up. However, Kaley Cuoco really hammed it up in her "before" shot, likely because she's so naturally beautiful that the difference between the photos wouldn't be very extreme without her goofy facial gymnastics. In the photo's caption, Cuoco thanked...The Inquisitr 2014-12-07
Kaley Christine Cuoco ( /ˈkeɪliː ˈkwoʊkoʊ/ KAY-lee KWOH-koh; born November 30, 1985) is an American film and television actress. She first came to attention for her role as Bridget Hennessy on the Emmy Award-winning sitcom 8 Simple Rules (2002–2005). She later starred as Billie Jenkins on the final season of the supernatural drama series Charmed (2005–2006). She has gained international acclaim and recognition for her current role as Penny on the Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning comedy series The Big Bang Theory (2007–present), which became the highest rated comedy on television among adults 18–49 for the 2009–10 season. Cuoco's success within the television industry has launched her film career, appearing in films such as Lucky 13 (2005), The Penthouse (2010), Hop (2011), and The Last Ride (2011).
As a child, Cuoco was once a nationally-ranked amateur tennis player, a sport she took up when she was three years old but had to give up when she was six. Her role as Maureen McCormick in the 2000 TV movie Growing Up Brady brought her much attention, as well as a role on the CBS sitcom Ladies Man. In 2004 in addition to her role on 8 Simple Rules in which she played a teenager, she had starring roles on the NBC miniseries, 10.5, on the ABC Family original movie, Crimes of Fashion, and in the independent film, Debating Robert Lee.

Thanks for helping me understand all of this...
so since a tabata protocol was used for aerobic activities as a way to incr. aerobic and anaerobic ability...
then i think the way to incorporate it into front squats would be..
first front squat 2-3 reps for 10-12 sets until you feel your heart is like pounding in your chest, and then right away
drop the weight really light and shoot for 7-12 reps or more tabata protocol wise.
and then my conclusion is in a month you will be able to do heavier 4-6 reps than somebody who doesn't do this.
what do you guys think?
basically what my logic is this:
tabata = incr aerobic & anaerobic capacity in an aerobic excercise and not include incr. aerobic & anaerobic capacity within anaerobic excercise. so to get tabatas benefits for weight training we kinda gotta trick the body into thinking its doing an aerobic excercise. im talking about a new subjective protocol that incorporates the tabata protocol for anaerobic work.

"I am the daughter of generations pastAnd child of unknown time—Egypt and the Pyramids."
– Ruth St. Denis
Watching Shasha dance is like seeing a vision from 1001 Arabian Nights or observing a dancing priestess from ancient Egypt. She is a beautiful, talented and ethereal being who creates a classical old world essence on stage. Her choreography is intoxicating and joyous. Her persona is seductive, sensuous and playful. A deep inner beauty shines on her audiences and enhances her dynamic solos. When Shasha dances, she lights up the stage with her presence. Shasha, a native Utahn, grew up in Salt Lake City. Her ravishing Mediterranean beauty is a gift from her Italian mother and her French/Portuguese father. With no previous dance training, she began belly dancing at age 18. "I had pulled into a Rainbow gas station and just happened to look across the street. It was the old Kismet studio on 9th East, and there was a sign advertising belly dance classes in the window. I knew I had to do that," she said.
Shasha began her training with Kismet, then went on to study for eight years with Ravonda and also danced in Veiled Visions. It was there that she met Katya and Virrina, and the three of them created Whirlwinds of Brogla. They have been dancing together for the past four years, are very close friends and are one of the mainstays of the belly dance community. Shasha has also been a regular performer at the Beledi of Boise where she watched Delilah dance, and attended her workshops. It is Delilah's earthy, sensuous and passionate style that inspired Shasha's solo work. "I really love Egyptian cabaret because of the sparkles and glamour, but I also love Turkish [dance]. It has more freedom and movement. I come from a very shy and quiet family, and I often find it difficult to express my feelings with words; it is very easy and natural to communicate my deepest feelings through dance. My solo work is always improvised. I just love to feel the music and let it move me." Shasha said.
Offstage, Shasha is a wife, mother of two and an automobile technician. This gorgeous, ultra-feminine woman and her husband rebuild car engines! She is quite remarkable, and although she is quiet and unassuming offstage, she has a fabulous smile that would melt any ice cap. She has nothing to be shy about. Shasha, a naturally gifted dancer, has evolved into an adept professional artist with a tantalizing and sweetly seductive articulation of the dance."Belly dancing became a way for me to find something out about myself. I had to dig deep to get there. I still get stage fright before every performance, but everyone gets butterflies—I just try to teach my butterflies to fly in formation." she said.
Come see Shasha perform at Caf� Med the last Thursday of every month and once a month at the Grecian Gardens and Cruzers. She will also be dancing at Spring Fest in March 2007.

text: After a poor buildup I wasn't expecting much but after watching 29 I think that it was easily the most lacklustre mania since mania 9. Not only was it as a result of poor booking but match quality was definitely very low. Not one match really excited me. I can only hope Raw tonight pulls some surprises out of the bag and WWE manages to redeem itself.

The Hungarian director Bela Tarr goes beyond surreal, beyond miserablist, beyond anything I have ever seen with this quite bizarre, dream-like film in monochrome: an apocalyptic vision of - well, what?
- The Werckmeister Harmonies
- Production year: 2000
- Country: Rest of the world
- Cert (UK): 12A
- Runtime: 145 mins
- Directors: Agnes Hranitzky, Bela Tarr
- Cast: Hanna Schygulla, Lars Rudolph, Peter Fitz
A young man in a desolate Hungarian town is devoted to his elderly uncle, a musicologist working on a revisionist theory of the music of the spheres. Some kind of circus arrives, the kind of circus at which no one is expected to have a good time. It consists of a single corrugated-iron pantechnicon containing a dead whale. The presence of this, and someone called the Prince, incites the populace to a strange, somnambulist uprising.
If genius is close to madness, then Tarr's genius - because genius has to be what it is - is closer to autism, a kind of untrained savant touch for compelling imagery. Famously unschooled in European cinema, he has developed his own vernacular language of movie-making.
He is a master of the long, long take: mostly compelling but sometimes just outrageously weird. He has a close-up of the young man and his uncle wordlessly walking down a street which goes on for minute after minute. God only knows why.
Who to compare him to? David Lynch? Tod Browning? You've got me. This will be a tough watch for many: an uncompromisingly difficult and severe experience. But I found it unique, mesmeric and sublime.
