Damn, Carl, you've almost talked me into watching it again, even though I think you're right that few will want to watch it more than once. The first episode --- which has, I think, only a single line of dialogue --- is grueling, but, like an accident on the freeway, you can't take your eyes off it.
It's an interesting take on the Red Harvest/Yojimbo formula of the outsider coming to town and precipitating a gang war.
And you're right, the OP is brilliant.

Excellent review, hard to top that, puts into words the way I felt about this series...
Among bleak anime like Casshern Sins, Ergo Proxy, N&T, H&T - Texhnolyze takes it to a higher (lower?) level. No rays of light or hope exist in Lux, if there's even a glimmer it is snuffed out by overwhelming & inescapable despair...
I recently posted a tweet about Casshern Sins -
"This show is so bleak I keep expecting Re-l Mayer & Ichise to show up..."
Well done...

Man..... you've completely described - in wondrous somber detail - of what makes Texhnolyze one of the greatest sci-fi anime ever. Greatest in how it supports a vision that came off to me as wholly possible as the emotions felt in Ep. 1.
I hope this review convinces people that "hating a show =//= a show being bad" but rather "feeling provocation (of any kind of response) = a successful work of art".
I really wish Carl you could've reviewed Ergo Proxy if just to know your personal take on what it set out to accomplish in a polished summary in addition to its success rivaling Texh's.
Even though I hate nihilism more than any incarnation of evil I know, if anything is understandable, I'll lend an ear. I use bitter shows like Abe's stuff to remind me the difference between "artistic expression" and "visual assaults", further explaining my distancing towards Madoka/RahXephon.
Great job Carl, great job...

|I own the original Geneon release and I loved it. It's one of the most depressing shows out there, but it's rather good. That ending is one of the most beautifully tragic endings I have ever seen in an anime. Go pick it up if you haven't.

Dystopian Sci-Fi? I must watch this. And the first episode having almost no dialogue sounds intriguing to a fan of minimalism such as myself.
I do wish the review went over the English dub than one sentence, but given the equal score to the sub, I'd assume that it equals the Japanese.

|Good review. I've watched it once, and may again some day. It's not an experience one forgets. The second ending theme, Walking Through the Empty Age by Yoko Ishida is incredibly haunting and I still listen to it from time to time.

A good review for an anime that I definitely consider to be one of the best ever made. I do feel I have to make a case against it being the complete black hole of despair that both the review and the majority of people seem to make it out to be, though.
I certainly agree that it's one of the most depressing things that I've watched- it pretty much left in a stupor for two days after I finished it. The thing that inherently gives the show something of a hopeful note, however was the transformation that the main character has undergone by the end - from a directionless, rage-fueled stray-dog who cares nothing about himself or others, to someone who wants desperately to change himself and who eventually has a singular goal of alleviating someone else's suffering. The review alludes to this and while that transformation may indeed bring him more pain, I'd say it's not a transformation that he regrets, which you can base off what he says on the way to opera house in the last episode spoiler["I've changed, haven't I? Not because I got this arm. Because I met you." Then he smiles.)] and the second-to-last image of the show spoiler[another smile and literally the only time he looks happy in the entire series. Depending on how optimistic you're willing to be, you could also see the projected image of Ran's flower as actually being Ran's doing through her burial/reincarnation in the Raffia ravine.]
For as much as the show points out how much the various philosophies of human existence are flawed through groups like the Organo, the Union, etc, it also highlights that one meaningful connection and an act of kindness can be enough to change someone for the better. Considering how much despair is present in the rest of the show, that message, however small and perhaps even inconsequential in the grand scheme of the story, was enough to make me feel like it offered something of a positive message.
Again, still overwhelmingly depressing, but not a nihilistic black void either.

Great review, Carl. I particularly love this description:
It gets right down to two of the most essential characters, and also succinctly describes Lux itself.
I would say, though, that you shouldn't attribute Texhnolyze to much to yoshitoshi ABe; like Serial Experiments Lain, it belongs more to Chiaki J. Konaka and even Yasuyuki Ueda (and this time Hiroshi Hamasaki). I actually find it to be the most interesting of the three, if only because it's more structurally cohesive and emotional than Lain, and because it's more ambitious than Haibane Renmei (which isn't a knock against Haibane at all -- it's my second favorite anime series -- but it's far more accessible than TEX).
In fact, I'd say Texhnolyze is arguably the most ambitious anime series ever made. You've had experiments like this with anime film (some of Tezuka's Mushi Pro stuff, for example), but to be able to sell something like this to a television station? It really could only have been made in the time period that it came out in (much like The Wire).
It's the closest any anime has gotten to something like Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker. TEX is certainly more accessible than Tarkovsky's film, but it also has very familiar ambitions in how its pacing is meant to establish a sense of mood and time (not of a time period, but rather the physicality of time that is central to Tarkovsky's works), how it is very much about people attempting to navigate and make sense of a ruined environment, and how it is very much about symbols and the power people attribute to them. TEX is dialectical rather than strictly allegorical, with various ideologies and outcomes (or rather a struggle for an alternative to Ran's vision) fighting each other. Hell, dialectics is what helps form Yoshi's rather philosophy and actions, and the power of symbols is what feeds Kano's vision (spoiler[he considers the shapes to be aesthetically perfect compared to the easily disposable and weak bodies that the Class have]), as well as everyone else in the series: Doc's fascination (and fetishization) of texhnolyzed limbs, the rejection of the limbs by the Union, Ichise's initial rejection stemming from the hierarchal/class division that texhnolyzation signifies (the process and mechanical limbs being a sign of power, and also literally representing the group that cut off his own limbs), the spoiler[surface-dwellers, or Theonormals, creating a kind of nostalgic vision of 1920s America, visually referencing Edward Hopper, and preferring augmented limbs rather than mechanical replacements]... and so on.
It's also one of the most visually-accomplished anime ever made. The cinematography is not merely functional like most anime, but compares quite well with live-action films. Went on and on about it in this post.
It has more than that, but the first line of dialogue doesn't occur until about 11 minutes into the episode.
The only potential issue with the review is that I think it oversells the bleakness of the series. It's dark as hell, and more pessimistic than any other anime I've seen (except for maybe Gilgamesh, which is comically nihilistic), but I would argue that it's just as cathartic. I can understand why Carl hammered that point home, but there is some sense of release and vague optimism about humans being able to change. (It's also hilarious at times, such as the transitional episodes in 11 and 12 when Mizuno tries and fails to take over the Organo.) There was an article I read a while back about a Japanese concept of finding beauty in death/struggle, and I wish I could find it. spoiler[And despite the fact that most of the characters die, some of them do attain a certain peace by the end, such as the fact that Ichise can change into a caring, selfless human being may not be uplifting enough for some people, but it's a point worth considering.]
I wouldn't call Texhnolyze nihilist. On the most basic level, if it really saw no point to humanity's existence, I don't think spoiler[the final shots of the series would be of Ichise smiling as his arm projects Ran's flower. The series seems to suggest that relationships and actions without ideology are what validates us, but presents a world where nearly everyone is an ideologue. Ichise is the lone exception to this -- and perhaps Onishi by the end, when he realizes what the Obelisk is and smiles as he's gun downed -- and so despite his failure, I think Ichise attains a certain peace at the end, and the final ending theme, Walking Through the Empty Ages, seems to point to this.]
A more eloquent argument than mine. Definitely something that should be considered in interpreting the series.

I'm currently watching Texhnolyze on Funi's YouTube channel (not too far into the story) but, my gosh. What a rarity!
I think it's quite difficult to find any form of media (animation/live-action/literature) where the use of nihilism can be employed in such an effective and emotional manner.
That's exactly what I thought while watching all three series. It's kinda scary how they all form one persona even though each series is separated with their own setting, time periods, genres, and characters. Almost, as if, without understanding the purpose of one series, then the viewer is left with an incomplete puzzle. (Or rather, without having a firm grasp on the spirit, the mind, and the body, a human may cease to be, well, humane)
Also, maybe I'm reading to much into it, but I've noticed that while Haibane & Lain have female protagonist (the soul & the mind), Texhnolyze, sort of, has a male as the lead (the flesh). Perhaps, unintentionally, these works might have implied some form of gender roles in Japanese society? Perhaps, certain genders are more "in tune" with certain human traits then others?
Sorry, I wasn't trying to ramble or anything. Just got a little curious. '
Excellent review Carl. I can't wait to own all three Abe TV series!

I tried watching this series many years ago, on Starz back when Starz was interesting but gave up after a certain number of episodes. Boring as hell, ugly as sin and it's also nihilstic to boot?
Hey, at least it can't be called "escapist"...
because it utterly fails as "entertainment".
Watching it once is two times too many.
I guess calling it "anime" is fine as calling it "crap" is too accurate.
But these are merely my impressions from an incomplete viewing ten years ago. I'm sure if I watched it today, I could complain more precisely and at greater length. But I have found out that I'm not a fan of ABe; It's like when I watch Christopher Nolan movies, themes which the general populace eat up seem hollow and, this is hard to define, incomplete to me.
A half formed idea followed up with a lot of hand waving which I don't buy. Ok, it's not that hard...

Firstly, I think this was a great review. Well done, Carl.
I tend to agree with Yanqui's view of things, especially regarding Ichise and the transformation of his character. In particular, I don't think that Ichise gave in to dispair at the end. I think he simply had no where else to go: there was nothing more to be done. Knowing that you've done all that you could and there isn't anything else to be done is not the same as giving into dispair.
It was interesting seeing the different ways people reacted/responded to Ichise. It's been a couple of years since I watched this (though I own the series). But I recall that he brought out people's inner nature pretty easily, probably because he rarely talked. And despite all the horrible things going on around him, he felt things strongly -- he didn't close himself up -- and people responded to that as well.
But more than anyone else, I think he cared about Ran -- maybe he identified with the way people regarded her more as a thing than a person. I think he would've done -- and tried to do -- anything he could to save her. And even when she was gone, he kept his memory of her alive, and it became the only thing he had left at the end.
Yes, this is a pretty amazing series, but not one for the faint of heart.

Britney Spears' father JAMIE has blasted her former manager SAM LUTFI - accusing him of spiking the singer with drugs and wrecking her life.
Jamie Spears, the co-conservator of his daughter's estate since January 2008, is seeking to extend a restraining order against Lutfi and the Toxic hitmaker's ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, making it a permanent injunction.
And in an astonishing outburst, he told a court in Los Angeles Lutfi was a "predator" who had given Britney cookies laced with drugs, had tried to "extort" the singer, and fed her lies about her custody case with ex-husband Kevin Federline which led to her hospitalisation early last year (08).
He described his daughter's life under Lutfi's management as "pretty well a disaster", adding: "When (Lutfi) was in so-called control, she'd lost everything - her kids and career.
"I believe he's a predator, I believe he's very dangerous to her... and causes her a lot of anguish and disbelief. We've asked him to go away before, and now he's coming back. We just want the man to go away. Just leave us alone."
Referring to the events leading up to Britney's hospitalisation in January last year, he said: "She was told by Lutfi she could have her children for another night. She didn't want to let her kids go because she thought she could have them for another night."
Jamie also alleged Lutfi had tried to contact Britney by text message, and told the court: "Sam put drugs in (Britney's) biscuits."
The hearing is due to resume on Wednesday (25Feb09).

Just to say whilst reading a superb book on the Spanish horse by the woman who is THE last word in anything to do with Iberian horses, Sylvia Loch, that there are types of Spanish pony, now very rare, that every now and again are born with two bony lumps, nearly horn, on their forehead. It would scarcely be too far fetched to suggest that one genetically abnormal type might be in possession of a single horn, and perhaps there were once many like this, giving birth to the image of the unicorn.

Marek Zidlicky
For your enjoyment, I thought I'd setup a thread to follow Marek's season with the Preds. So if you don't want to listen to my rants about Zidlicky, keep away from this thread. And in return, I'll promise to keep my rants about him within this very thread
So, story so far...3 games and 4 pts (2+2) for Marek. All points on have come on the powerplay. Marek has been playing with Dan Hamhuis on defense and has gotten some pretty good reviews in Nashville. Here's a recent article from Tennessean:
I especially liked his comment about why he signed with Nashville but not with the Rangers:
''I saw more opportunities to play here than with the Rangers,'' he said. ''That's why I came.''
At the moment, fans of his old team HIFK Helsinki in Finland are literally wondering how they managed to keep the guy for the past three years on their team when he certainly looked to belong to the NHL. And they are openly thanking the Rangers for not signing him. They pretty much knew that he was going after his rights were acquired by Nashville.
I'm not tryin to downplay Dunhams performances with us and I'll openly admit that he has gotten us some much needed points with his saves. But still, I can't seem to figure out why did we overpay for Dunham ? The market for goaltenders hasn't exactly been sizzling and decent goalies have gone for bargain prices. Some Nashville fans would have agreed to straight swap of Murray for Dunham but oh no, we had to throw in two defensive prospects from our "deep farm system".
I'll try to follow Marek's season here but feel free to join in if you have something to say. Heck, beats following our defensive corps doesn't it ? :p

According to Sherdog's Jake Rossen, Jake Shields rules and Dan Hardy drools, or at least that's the message that I got out of his recent blog post.
It is relatively clear that Jake Rossen isn't a big fan of the UFC's dominance of the MMA industry. Rossen is obviously far from alone in his distaste for UFC's rule over the MMA landscape, but his latest post concerning Dan Hardy and Jake Shields makes it clear to me that his political views have colored his judgment.
Of course, all MMA writers, myself included, are sometimes guilty of bias or misunderstanding to some degree or another, but I find this example particularly amusing.
In his latest post, Rossen says Dan Hardy stands little chance against Georges St. Pierre and goes on to bemoan the politics that are preventing a fight between St. Pierre and Jake Shields.
Many people will agree with both sentiments, but the way that Rossen explains them is quite humorous.
During a recent interview, Hardy said it would be unwise for GSP to stand with him because Hardy could knock GSP out. Rossen laughs at this idea, citing the fact that Hardy has only one knockout in four UFC fights.
This is certainly true, but such a statement ignores the truth that aside from knocking out Rory Markham, Hardy rocked both Marcus Davis and Mike Swick more than once.
In addition to discrediting Hardy's hands, Rossen goes on to say "If there?s one thing you don?t want to engage St. Pierre in, it?s a distance fight."
This statement is laughable at best and is otherwise simply absurd.* On my first reading, I thought Rossen was simply talking about Hardy choosing to fight GSP at range.* If this was the case, Rossen would be correct in one aspect, as St. Pierre has been very good at controlling in most of his fights by using his jabs and kicks, engaging St. Pierre at distance is simply one of the few viable options for any fighter.
If you're using your range against GSP, you might just have the opportunity to land some strikes, while also having adequate time to avoid some takedowns.* Engaging in a clinch or any other close-range striking is simply an invitation to get taken down by GSP, who is indisputably one of the best functional wrestlers in MMA.
What other way is there to beat GSP?* Well, I suppose someone could try to take him down, but since great wrestlers like Josh Koscheck and Matt Hughes have had only minimal success with such attempts, it doesn't really make for a viable strategy for most fighters.
Ultimately, most fighters who fight against GSP wind up on their backs, but inviting such a situation seems foolish, considering what GSP has managed to do from the top position against some of the better grapplers in MMA.
Dan Hardy's best chance is to try to engage GSP at range, thus avoiding the ground as much as possible.* To say that is "the one thing you don't want to do" is pretty funny.
However, when I woke up this morning, I was advised of a different interpretation of Rossen's article, with Rossen saying that Hardy stands little chance because he is unlikely to finish GSP and, therefore, is likely to lose against GSP in a fight that "goes the distance."
This is probably the better interpretation of Rossen's post, but the post is still very flawed because Hardy still very obviously has the ability to rock his opponents and finish fights, and even when the fight has gone the distance, Hardy has not really been exposed as the type of fighter who fades too badly over the course of three rounds, so it is not really certain he would fade badly over five.
Rossen goes on to bemoan the "political jockeying" that is preventing a fight with the more-deserving challenger, Shields.
In fairness, Shields is a more deserving contender to the title than Dan Hardy, but the problem I have with Rossen's statement is that he makes it in contrast to what he sees as a terribly one-sided affair between St. Pierre and Hardy because as much as Shields may be a more deserving challenger, he is no more of a threat to GSP than Hardy.
Shields is a good grappler, but that is all he is good at.* In the words of Jake Rossen, "If there's one thing you don't want to engage St. Pierre in...it's a wrestling match."
At this point, it should be absolutely clear that Shields stands no chance against St. Pierre while the fight remains on the feet.* Shields doesn't have the striking ability or even the power to hurt GSP were he to land a lucky punch.
Shields' only chance would be to get the fight to the ground, but in order to do so, he would have to contend with perhaps the best takedown defense in the welterweight division.
Few people in the division are capable of taking down GSP, and I don't know if Shields is one of them.* Even if he managed to get GSP down on his back, GSP is considered to be a difficult fighter to hold down or submit.
If Shields was bold enough to pull guard on GSP, he would be doing so against a guy who cut through BJ Penn's guard like it didn't even matter.
Going back to Rossen's argument against Hardy, I doubt that Shields is very likely to submit Georges and, therefore, if Shields were able to bring a potential fight with GSP to the five round distance, I doubt that Shields would benefit at all from a decision.
Taking these things into consideration, I personally think Dan Hardy has as much of a chance against GSP as would Shields.* At least Dan Hardy is dangerous on the feet, where all fights begin.* Shields might never even get a chance to bring the fight to where he wants it.
None of this goes to say that Shields should never be afforded a title shot against GSP.* If Shields goes to the UFC and is still on a good run, he's more than deserved his shot.
But when Jake Rossen says we shouldn't be interested in Dan Hardy's shot and that we should be upset about missing a potential fight with Shields, what becomes clear is that fight promoters don't need to do any political jockeying when MMA bloggers are willing to do the work for them.
*Note* The preceding article was written a few days ago, but I republished it after accidentally deleting it while attempting to make some edits.
Since the first time this article was published, Dana White's displeasure with Jake Rossen has become public knowledge, so I feel that at this time it's worth making a few additional remarks on the current state of MMA journalism.
Writers such as Steve Cofield have mentioned correctly that MMA journalists aren't required to blindly promote everything that the UFC puts forth, but there is still another side to the issue.
A writer can and should be critical but shouldn't go nitpicking whatever the UFC does while liberally supporting the competition.
There is a difference between being critical and being opinionated.
As far as Dana White's criticism of the media is concerned, I can't blame him for having his own opinions or for expressing them.* Sure, he doesn't like some journalists and may even try to get some of them fired by threatening to refuse credentials, but that's a relatively mild and generally accepted form of censorship.
Free speech is a right. Getting paid for your opinions is a privilege.

David Klein on What Makes a Good Book Group Novel
"You've got your glass of wine, your comfy seat. Everyone is settled in. Chat time is over and someone says let's talk about the book. The heated debate begins – hopefully," writes novelist David Klein, author of Clean Break. "After my novel Stash came out in 2010, I was fortunate enough to be invited to a number of book groups. I discovered what made a good group book novel. It's a novel that gets conversation going and rolling. It's a novel with characters that spark disagreement, liked by one reader, loathed by another."

32 year old woman | Needham, MA, USA | Seeking men 29-40 within 25 miles
It's exhausting masquerading every day as a normal person....
I am a wild chick. I enjoy exciting new adventures, whether it be a new restaurant, a new beach or a new country to visit. I enjoy going to fun new places for a nice dinner, I've worked restaurants for the last twelve years, which has turned me into a wine.... "snob" for lack of a better word. I love a great wine, but have been known to drink out of a box of wine too. I love to laugh and think people who can't laugh at themselves are boring. Life is too short not to be smiling. I love learning new things. If someone mentions something, I see something, hear about something, or come across something that I'm not familiar with, I google it and research it until I have a base knowledge of it. This can be anything to British civil wars to the mating habits of kimono dragons to how to successfully nail a slam dunk. Looking for someone to hang with. Someone who loves to go out as much as they love to hang on the couch with a good movie and a bottle of wine. Family is important to me, and it would be nice if it were important to you too. Overall, I'm looking for a great friend who I can see myself with for a long time. It would be nice if something amazing should blossom from that.

The tree fell from South Park Gardens, Wimbledon, in Trinity Road
Heavy winds overnight uprooted a tree which fell into a residential road and on to a woman's car.
The large tree fell from South Park Gardens in Trinity Road, Wimbledon, at about 2.30am today.
A resident, who did not want to be named, said he was awoken by a large thundering noise and called the police immediately.
He said: "We've had concerns about that tree for some time because it clearly had quite narrow roots."
The tree was removed by 10.30am. Picture: Councillor Krystal Miller (Trinity ward)
The blue car the tree fell on is understood to be owned by a woman who lives opposite the park in Trinity Road.
It comes after a week of heavy rainfall across south-west London and Surrey, accompanied by gale force winds last night of up to 70mph.
The tree blocked Trinity Road at the junction with Dudley Road

The job goes easier when you've got the right tool. Some of you might not need something like this but when your hands aren't as steady as they used to be, it makes some accurately applying glue much easier.
I read a suggestion here that using insulin syringes was a good way to apply small amounts of glue. I tried that and while it does work well, sometimes the plunger would stick a little and then I'd wind up with more glue than I needed. I gave it a little thought and here's what I came up with.
I took a couple of old dzus fasteners and flattened them out. You don't have to use them but I had some already. You can pick them up at a race shop. Guys that race go through them, especially if they race dirt. A small washer was epoxied to one fastener to hold the syringe since the opening in a dzus fastener is too large. A nut was epoxied to the other fastener which serves to hold a fine thread bolt. A couple of small screws and some plastic tubing made the parts that hold it all together.

Took a little time to decide how to make it and put it together but I've already used to once and it works great. Naturally you can't used glue that's too thick in it.

Another day in Texas
Well today we drove into San Antonio and arrived at Mission Trail RV Resort about 1100AM. We set the house and drove into town and walked on the River Walk until our feet hurt. We came back to the house where I got us a pizza at Papa John's and sat back and cooled off and enjoyed the ...
SeaWorld San Antonio
... We rode Journey to Atlantis 100 times as well as Rio Loco (Water raft ride)... Chloe rode all the kid rides that she could but really focused on the "big kid" rides. SeaWorld San Antonio isn't as big as SeaWorld Orlando but still a great park to visit for the day. We actually stayed until close and didn't get bored any of the time. They have a wonderful kid and water area to stay at for a while for your kids to run around in while you, the parent, takes a small break. ...

... evening w/ their oldest son William & family in SA.
Spent our 1st evening dining along the River Walk & listening to Lewis give a short slide presentation about the San Antonio River Walk @ the open air theater along the River Walk.
Visited the Alamo, the 4 Missions located on the fringes of SA, the beautiful SA Aboretum, & ...
San Antonio, a bit of Europe stateside?
... or summer months. The city is on our 'return to' list and if you are ever in this part of Texas then it really should be on your 'must visit' list.
After the past few days headed pretty much due south we now start heading west again as we journey to New Mexico and search for alien life forms in Roswell. This will not only be a 550 mile drive but it should also should see us crossing the halfway point of this trans-continental road trip!
... 8230; we didn't know where to go. We couldn't see any people, or anything really to look at. We found an employee and asked her, and she said she wasn't sure – it was the first day. Mind you it was nearly midday and it had started at 9am! We walked around for a bit huddled against the cold, and found a exhibit hall that was warm inside. We also hadn't had breakfast and were pretty hungry at this stage, so we found a booth giving ...

Lactose Intolerance
DefinitionLactose intolerance is gastrointestinal upset due to the inability to digest significant quantities of lactose. Lactose is a sugar found in milk and other dairy products.
CausesLactose intolerance is caused by a reduction in the digestive enzyme lactase. Lactase breaks down the sugar lactose into sugars that can be more easily absorbed. When not fully broken down, lactose ferments in the colon and causes symptoms.Some people are born unable to make lactase. Others develop the intolerance over time.
Risk FactorsFactors that increase your risk of lactose intolerance include:
- Black, Asian, or Native American race
- Jewish ethnicity
- Family history of lactose intolerance
- Having certain illnesses or conditions that can damage the intestinal tract such as:
- Gastroenteritis
- Celiac disease
- Cystic fibrosis
- Crohn's disease
- Chemotherapy
SymptomsSymptoms of lactose intolerance generally begin within two hours of consuming milk or other dairy products. The severity of symptoms depends on how much lactase your body produces and how much lactose you eat.Lactose intolerance may cause:
- Cramping
- Bloating
- Abdominal rumbling sounds
- Gas
- Diarrhea
- Loose stools
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
DiagnosisThe doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may recommend a trial period of eating no milk or milk products to see if symptoms resolve.Your doctor may want to perform tests to help make the diagnosis. These may include:
- Hydrogen breath test
- Stool acidity test

Value Creation Through Corporate Governance
Companies spend time and money in order to improve their corporate governance (CG) system and also do not forget to inform third parties about their efforts in this field. CG studies the separation of power at an entity level and the segregation of responsibilities between shareholders, management, and board of directors. As a mechanism CG helps to align management's goals with those of the stakeholders in order to avoid conflict and to sustain and develop a healthy company. The objective of this article is to show how corporate governance is defined, what does it stands for and why it is important or maybe better said why companies give it so much importance.

Stayed here last week for 8 nights, nice and neat rooms which have been refurbished, flat screen and some pay tv channels! Barthroom was dated and they need to be refurbished (had to get a plumber in to repair toilet and hot tap), handy semi contained cooking facilities enabled nice hot breakys but only has a bar fridge! we were happy with reception staff, rooms were serviced every day! The location is all but the best along the Strand, pub and restraunts outside front door! We had no noise issues apart from one night boys renting house next door a little roudy until around 4am but it was a Saturday night, no problems any other night! Bed and ac comfy! Best part was it was just motel room price but was semi contained with basic cooking facilities! All in all great value for money and would have no probs staying here again!

More from Bryan Christie:
Shortly after we got back from Italy I was commissioned by Scientific American to do an illustration/information graphic on how emotional pain and stress affect the human body. In the past I would have drawn a man standing ramrod straight. But I thought about the commission more deeply. This piece was about stress and pain. I asked myself, "What does stress and pain look like?" I would not have been thinking this way if I had not seen the Pieta. [Michelangelo's]

Our old mothers know, or knew, in their hearts that when a woman is 30, 35 or more years old, so are her eggs… Errors can crop up in the eggs' genetic material as they age over time. Therefore, older women are more at risk of giving birth to babies with chromosome abnormalities than younger women. And now we know also about the epigenetic consequences of old maternal age.

How the Ovulona™ helps:
An example of a non-baseline menstrual cycle with delayed ovulation and short luteal phase (only 9 days, which is abnormal).
This record illustrates how our OvulonaTM device can detect the effect of stress on the course of the menstrual cycle. Non-baseline refers to any real-life female with all the stressors of our daily life, with no baseline simplifications of conditions.
Consequently… stressors interfere with precise timing of release of reproductive hormones such as the frequency and amplitude of the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone and LH pulses, and thus delay the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge that triggers ovulation.
And the stressors may even cause the Ms. to forget her daily measurement (missing data on days 10 and 11), in spite of which the pattern is discernible and interpretable in terms of "go/no go" (or "safe/unsafe", as some may put it).
You clearly see how much more informative the Ovulona cyclic profile is compared to the BBT, which is shown below it for comparison.

Mary Cassatt - Maternite (1890) and Jules Being Dried by His Mother (1900)
Mary Stevenson Cassatt (May 22, 1844 - June 14, 1926) was an American painter and printmaker. She lived much of her adult life in France, where she first befriended Edgar Degas and later exhibited among the Impressionists. Cassatt often created images of the social and private lives of women, with particular emphasis on the intimate bonds between mothers and children.

Toyen, Spící (1937)

The painting's title means Sleeping. The title of the referenced source, a media article, says : Look what futile waiting by Toyen looks like…
See Description of the image file for more about Toyen: http://biozhena.wordpress.com/2012/05/14/why-too-many-young-and-not-so-young-ladies-could-not-receive-flowers-on-mothers-day-why-so-many-trying-to-conceive-why-so-much-infertility/toyen-spici-1937/
It is not likely that Toyen would have had this in mind, but I present her art to highlight the predicament of unfulfilled yearning for a baby.
To highlight this:
Advanced age of the would-be Mum works against her on account of the Mother Nature's Probabilistic Rules of Baby-Making: Good health and successful insemination probabilities are degraded whereupon the strict Natural Eugenicist suppresses the conceptus. So that, most often, the hCG pregnancy marker does not even have a chance to be detected – after the nerve-wracking 2-weeks wait – by the not-so-young Mum-candidate's HPT [Home Pregnancy Test]. Needless to say that, all the more the not-so-young motherhood aspirant needs to enhance the fourth element of the equation, the probability of correct timing of the hoping-for-baby sex.

Gil Bruvel, Relative Time (1993)
An interesting title. Each woman has her own biological clock, which responds to her circumstances in every individual menstrual cycle. That is why there is no such thing as cycle regularity (despite the long-held simplistic belief to the contrary).
In 1970, Dr. Hugh J. Davies of Johns Hopkins University told the US Senate in the Nelson Hearings about the contraceptive Pill: "Never before in history have so many people taken such powerful medication with so little information as to its actual and potential risks. …With the introduction of such active ingredients, we are actually setting up a massive endocrinological experiment with millions of healthy women."

From: http://blog.lib.uiowa.edu/hardin/category/notes-from-the-rare-book-room/page/4/
William Hunter, born in Scotland, was a London physician and obstetrician whose principal interest was in anatomy. This stunning atlas, containing life-sized steel engravings of the gravid uterus is one of the most elegant and accurate anatomical works in existence. Hunter spent more than twenty-five years preparing the atlas, employed artists to prepare the engravings at an enormous expense to himself, and entrusted the printing of the work to John Baskerville, the greatest English printer of the eighteenth century.

Gist: Tidbits from a debate at a LinkedIn group about DANGERS OF IN VITRO FERTILIZATION. And I offer Google Ngram evidence for why I was justified to exclaim, "Damn the bloody Pill". People debate hotly burdening future generations with debt – but we don't seem to care about burdening them with health consequences of the daft but so prevalent postponement of motherhood until it's too late. Consequences, potential until experienced: Birth defects in IVF kids, and – theoretically, speculatively - epigenetic harm in subsequent generations of offspring. Do we really demand the direct human harm and suffering proof before reconsidering…? Is ambulance chasing the way?

When you enter phrases or key words into the Google Books Ngram Viewer, it displays a graph showing how many times those phrases have occurred in a corpus of books (here English-language books) over the selected years (here 1960 to 2008, last year of data availability). See Ngram 10 in "The perils of IVF, of ARTs, of giving birth at old age – part 2" at http://to.ly/d0iq . It shows the data for the number of books on IVF (blue) and for the number of books about the Pill (red). Books about the Pill appear and grow in numbers in the 1960s (when the Pill was launched in the market) while IVF books only appear some 10 years later. By 1980s the IVF book numbers grow fast and far exceed the number of books about the contraceptive Pill. Even more significantly, the IVF book volume does not exhibit a declining trend (such as occurs in the Pill data after 1980). IVF books continue to be written at a relatively steady rate, significantly higher in numbers than the declining books about the Pill.

Apple last week bumped up its Time Capsule wireless backup appliance to 2TB and 3TB models, priced the same $299 and $499, respectively. In addition, Apple appears to be now using consumer public drives from Western Digital (bumped up from Hitachi Deskstar drives). That, plus the $499 price point puts the new 3TB Time Capsule pretty much out of reach on price-conscious buyers. In fact, you're better off, as we explained, hooking up an external USB drive to your 1TB Time Capsule.
But if you hate the clutter and yearn for a sealed, elegant solution with only one plug, you needn't pony up $200 extra for a 3TB Time Capsule: It would seem that the wireless gizmo accepts 3TB internal drives, if properly partitioned. According to a HardMac reader:
I personally installed a 3 TB WD Caviar Green 3To (by chance!), when it came out 5 months ago, in a 1 TB Time Capsule that I bought around that time as well. I formatted it with Airport Utility to have the 3 partitions that are necessary for Time Machine and it was immediately recognized as a 3 TB disk. I've been using it ever since without any problem.
One caveat…
