39 year old woman | Jupiter, FL, USA | Seeking men 35-43 within 50 miles
I have strong faith in God, love family, love my kids and enjoy the simple things in life.
Most pople that know me would say I am funny, giving, strong willed and love to help others. The thing people most notice about me is my eyes. I love God, my family life and laughing. Enjoyment for me is movies, dinner, coffee, and relaxing. The simple things in life bring me joy and I have two children and can not have any more but do not mind if I meet someone that also has children. I am looking for someone HONEST, loving, hard working and who does not judge people by ANYTHING other then who they are as a person. I go to church every Sunday and like to help others as much as possible. I love the holidays and and family time when everyone gets together. I believe in love and that my partner has to be my best friend. I believe when life is hard it is how you handle yourself that really shows how you are as a person. It bothers me when people try to tell others what they think that person wants to hear instead of being honest. I have a strong sense of perception and can read people very well. I am far from perfect, and will never pretend to be. I believe in treating people with respect, and want to find someone who does the same. I'm that girl who will go fishing and camping loving every minute of it, but then I also want someone who will do the things I enjoy also. I am artistic and so is the industry I work in, meeting people and building strong relationships is something I love, but keeping those relationships is what I love more. I give most people a chance unless or until I don't trust you or you hurt someone I love. I don't think I'm a 10, but I love who and how I am. I want to meet someone who truly knows how to treat a woman on every level and expects her to do the same for him. I guess what I am saying in a nut shell is any of us can type anything on here it's whether it is honest or not that matters. I have never done this before and can only hope to meet someone great, honest, funny, God loving, hard working and amazing out of it. I am a very independent woman who is not looking for someone to take care of me but rather just laugh, grow, learn and enjoy life with me.

What are you working on?
After a week full of everything but sewing, I'm ready to relax with my sewing machine! We had a great visit with my parents, the girls were especially sad to see them go, but promises of phone calls and more visits have helped.
Yesterday Joe had a day off finally – and we headed for the hills! Well the mountains, really. We headed to Timpanogos for a family hike. We've collected two backpack carriers for such occasions, Owen and Sophia were happy to be on our backs and not on the path! There's tons of trails up there, many still covered in snow, but about a mile in is a beautiful waterfall, bursting with all the melt-off of spring.

The most asked about quilt in the comments was "A Mother's Love" – It received 1st place in Applique and was pieced by Joyce Stewart, and Ann Seely, and quilted by Sue McCarty. I did a tiny bit of research online and found that Joyce and Ann are sisters and have a book published together, but I did not find a pattern for any of the blocks. It is entirely appliqued – that much I remember – absolutely stunning!! I think of all this is my favorite too – so much love … Read More »

Dominating dotwork tattooing, Chaim Machlev's work, from mandalas to modern geometry, is ubiquitous on "Best Tattoos" lists and is one of the most reblogged/regrammed/"liked" artists of the blackwork genre in my social media feeds. And for good reason. His expert technique, combined with fresh perspective and interpretations of ancient art, results in incredibly beautiful work that commands a long look, rather than a quick glance at an image flashed on our phones.
For a more in-depth look into the artist himself, filmmakers Nikita Luennemann & Lukas Muganga created the documentary "Dots To Lines" (embedded below), which follows Chiam over the course of a year, filming various tattoo projects and telling his personal story. The filmmakers also note: "Carried by the narration of his unusual path that led him from a 'conventional' lifestyle in Tel-Aviv, Israel to a very distinct mind set and a cosmopolitan way of life, it underlines his unique style of tattooing, which puts the art in the focus, feeds of emotions and the shared experience."
The trailer is just a quick tease, and I look forward to seeing the whole film. Will follow-up when I have more info on it.
See more of Chiam's work on his site, Facebook, and Instagram.

Last week, a beautiful tattoo video (below) was released online featuring Alexis Calvie of Black Heart Tattoo in St. Raphael, France. Filmmaker Arnaud Payen does a great job in capturing the dark and sexy vibe of the studio as well as the process of creation as Alexis works on a sacred geometry inspired sleeve. There are close-ups of the line work as well as how Alexis builds on the sleeve using the stippling technique. The video inspired me to take a close look at Alexis' portfolio, as well as the other artists at Black Heart, and I really loved what I found.
Check their work yourself on their Tumblr, Facebook, and Instagram @blackheartattoo pages.
I was excited to learn that, earlier this month, one of NYC's premiere tattoo studios, Kings Avenue Tattoo, welcomed a new tattoo artist to their roster: Zac Scheinbaum. Zac rounds out the Kings Ave crew with a portfolio filled with my favorite things: dots, geometry and lots of black ink. I hit up Zac with a few questions about his work:
You've recently become a part of Kings Avenue Tattoo, coming from Saved Tattoo. As both studios have a high bar for excellence, what was your path like in tattooing to reach that bar?
I learned to tattoo in Santa Fe, New Mexico, at a shop called Four Star Tattoo. Mark Vigil apprenticed me. He is a very knowledgeable and incredibly talented tattooer. When I met him, and the years that followed, he showed me everything about how tattoos should be done, and the right and wrong ways that he thought to do things. I feel like I still learn and recall things he said to me all those years ago and they are totally relevant. But he also definitely "raised" me in a sense to have a high volume of respect for everything dealing with the craft...and artists that do it.
I initially came to New York to get my arm done by Mike Rubendall. He was a huge influence on me and definitely helped me to be where I am today even from back then. I also would've never met Chris O'Donnell without Mike. I had gotten tattooed by Scott Campbell over at Saved many years before and always thought that it would be so awesome to work there.
Long story short (sort of, after a rocky goodbye and a few months on St. Mark's), I ended up at Saved. Both Kings Avenue and Saved have always been gigantic influences on me and my work. It is a fulfillment of life dreams and goals to have the opportunity to work around these amazing artists.
How do you work to become better and better at your craft?
I never feel satisfied with my work, and I think that's important. I'm always trying to learn and get better. I sort of think of it as getting an education from all of these different amazing teachers, then taking things you like and don't like about what advice you are given, and deciding how to implement that to best fit your clients and your vision of the final piece of work.
I'm a fan of your style of blackwork and dotwork tattooing. How did you come to your style and what references do you seek out for your work?
The use of black and white imagery is what I have always been the most comfortable doing. I would love to do more color work also, but it is definitely a little harder for me to grasp sometimes. That being said, the strong use of dotwork and geometric tattooing that I do, I can attribute directly to Thomas Hooper. When he came to Saved, it definitely changed my mentality -- whether it was about my philosophy for tattoos, work ethic, design, and overall aesthetics, he had such a smart and different way of doing things. I really admire him and wouldn't be where I am without him. I've always loved this type of tattooing (Xed Le Head, Tomas Tomas, Jondix, Mike the Athens), but never understood how it was even possible. Thomas showed me how to make mandalas and how he suggested doing things, and I sort of took that, then just ran with it on my "own" after he left.
I'd say that, just within five years, the appreciation for blackwork and dotwork tattoos has grown exponentially in the US. Do you think that's accurate \? What are your thoughts on the growing interest in these styles?
I think every style of tattooing has a time and a place, and this just happens to be the time where this type of tattooing is getting a little bit more notoriety and acknowledgment, but I'm sure, as with all things, it will pass and something else will come up instead of it. Not that that's a bad or a good thing, but I think it's definitely something that, when people think of tattoos, this was just something they hadn't seen before and that's why it got so big -- because they didn't realize what was possible, or that a tattoo could be so detailed.
What do you love about tattooing?
I love tattooing because it's has given me the opportunity to do art every single day. I feel so honored that anybody would like to get tattooed by me. It means the world to me. Not only has tattooing integrated itself into every aspect of my life, whether I'm reading or having dinner or whatnot, I always can find new ideas everywhere. It lets you create all the time! You get to make people happy, and give them something that can change their lives.
What projects, travels, events are coming up for you that you'd like to share?
I'm working on a series of new paintings, and hopefully some flash. I am planning a trip to Japan early next year, but am not sure the exact dates yet.
Find more of Zac's work on his site and Instagram.
I'm very fortunate to have shelves of beautiful tattoo and art books from artists across the globe -- books I've learned a great deal from and books that inspire posts for this blog. But it is not often that a book inspires how I envision further work on my own tattoos and has me excited about different possibilities of expression when designing the next steps of my body suit.
One such book is "Solstice Mandala" by George "Orge" Kalodimas of Sake Tattoo in Athens, Greece.
Last July, I first wrote about the Solstice Mandala project in which Orge set out to create a mandala a day, from June 21st, the Summer Solstice, to December 21st, the Winter Solstice. And he did so. Here's more:
In the morning of 21st of June, Orge was listening to the radio and was reminded that this is the biggest day of the year. This reminder pushed him to later spend hours online learning about the Solstice circle and the unstoppable circle of life every year since the beginning of time. That's when inspiration stroke. He would design one mandala per day for the next 184 days, paying tribute to the solstice. He spent every day for 6 months designing a new mandala inspired by religion, nature and sacred geometry.Those 184 mandalas are beautifully presented in a lush, limited edition 128-page hardcover with embossed sleeve. Even more wonderful is that the book is accompanied by a signed & numbered limited print.
And the most wonderful part: the book is available for purchase at only 75 Euros (about $102 US).
Personally, I love how Orge has created mandalas that are incredibly detailed with various patterns and imagery, but would not overwhelm the body and would translate beautifully when the art is put on skin.
For more on how Solstice Mandala came to be, check this great video below.

Thanks to Facebook, I was reminded that today is the birthday of one of my favorite blackwork artists: Roxx of 2Spirit Tattoo in San Francisco. Happy birthday, Roxx!
So when I went to the 2Spirit Facebook page, I found stunning new work that I had to share. Roxx is not only known for some of the boldest blackwork around (as shown below), but she is also able to create light and intricate sacred geometry patterns and, as evidenced by the very top photo, use the simplest forms to the greatest effect.
You can catch Roxx at the Bay Area Convention of the Tattoo Arts, Oct. 25-27. She'll also be in NYC working to transform mastectomy scars on P.Ink Day, October 21st at Saved Tattoo. [More on P.Ink Day here.]
I'm also honored that Roxx is one of the featured artists in Black Tattoo Art 2.
More of her work can be found on Instagram.

Jeffrey Sachs on the Price of Civilization
Robert Lorei
Radioactivity: Live Call-In (Friday)
In his new book THE PRICE OF CIVILIZATION (Random House), economist Jeffrey Sachs says that civic virtue is declining among Americaâs political and economic elites. He says the US system of markets, laws and elections is not enough if the rich and powerful have no compassion toward the rest of society. He says the two major political parties are in the hands of corporate lobbyists and wealthy contributors. That tax cuts and stimulus spending donât work. That the military industrial complex has led to catastrophic wars and military occupations. And that taxation is the price of civilization.
Jeffrey Sachs joins us right now.

Press release from PR Newswire
Scripps reports third-quarter results
Friday, November 09, 2012
Scripps reports third-quarter results07:30 EST Friday, November 09, 2012Same-station political advertising nearly doubled 2010 totals; new share repurchase program authorizedCINCINNATI, Nov. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fueled by the contribution of television stations acquired in 2011 and a surge in political advertising revenues, The E.W. Scripps Company (NYSE: SSP) reported operating results for the third quarter of 2012 that were substantially stronger than the year-ago quarter.Consolidated revenues rose 31 percent to $220 million from $168 million in the third quarter of 2011. The 2012 quarter included revenue from television stations in Indianapolis, Denver, San Diego and Bakersfield that were acquired on Dec. 30, 2011. Excluding the new stations from the 2012 performance, consolidated revenues increased 15.0 percent to $193 million, led by the strongest third-quarter revenue performance ever reported by the company's television stations. Consolidated expenses for segment, shared services and corporate rose 13.7 percent to $185 million. Excluding costs associated with the new stations, expenses increased 1.1 percent to $164 million. Operating income in the 2012 quarter was $18.3 million, compared with an operating loss of $17.9 million in the third quarter of 2011. The year-ago quarter included a non-cash, pre-tax charge of $9 million for the impairment of long-lived assets at four of the company's newspapers. At $3.3 million, interest expense in the 2012 quarter was higher than in the prior-year quarter due to the acquisition of the television stations. The provision for income taxes was $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2012, compared with a tax benefit of $7.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The tax provision for the 2012 quarter includes a $3.7 million reduction in the company's reserve for uncertain tax positions. Net income in the third quarter of 2012 was $12.0 million, or 21 cents per share, compared with a net loss of $10.7 million, or 19 cents per share, in the third quarter of 2011. "An aggressive realignment of our company over the past two years has positioned us to take advantage of improvements in our core television business, growth in digital audiences, and a huge surge in political advertising," said Rich Boehne, Scripps president and CEO."In the television division, our investments in local news content, original programming to replace underperforming syndicated shows, and in sales infrastructure to maximize political dollars are all showing strong returns on investments. Also ahead of expectations are the four additional markets ? Denver, Indianapolis, San Diego and Bakersfield ? which we acquired at the end of last year.""In the newspaper division, we saw a positive upturn in real estate advertising driven by improvement in Florida, which is particularly critical to Scripps. Overall expense control was good, and we're approaching the beginning of a move to bundled subscriptions for print and digital products, which we believe is both critical to the future health of the business and in line with growing consumer demand.""Across our entire portfolio of attractive local markets we are rapidly rolling out new, market-leading digital products and services. A new round of improved apps for smartphones and tablets recently were released, and market by market we are expanding our advertising sales force to increase our share of the growing digital advertising pie.""Enabling Scripps to seize these opportunities and build the value of the enterprise is one of the industry's strongest balance sheets. With no net debt and a growing pool of cash, we have the financial flexibility to consider a wide range of options that will produce the best returns to our shareholders."Third-quarter results by segment are as follows:TelevisionReported revenue from the company's television stations in the third quarter was $125 million, compared with $70.0 million in the third quarter of 2011. On a same-station basis, television revenue increased 41 percent in the quarter to $98.8 million. Reported advertising revenue broken down by category was:Local, up 25 percent to $52.0 million (down 1 percent on a same-station basis) National, up 39 percent to $26.0 million (up 6 percent on a same-station basis) Political was $33.9 million, compared to $2 million in the 2011 quarter Excluding the newly acquired stations, political advertising totaled $28.0 million in the third quarter. That compares with $14.8 million on a same-station basis in the third quarter of 2010 (the previous election cycle) and $10.3 million in 2008 (the previous presidential cycle). As is common during presidential election cycles, the influx of political advertising displaced certain traditional advertisers. The company expects advertisers in the core market, especially in the automotive and retail categories, to return to the air in the back half of the fourth quarter. Revenue from retransmission consent agreements rose 86 percent year over year to $7.4 million. As a result of new agreements with cable operators that were negotiated in 2011, same-station retransmission revenue increased 26 percent to $5.0 million. Digital revenues in the third quarter increased 85 percent to $4.0 million, and grew 50 percent on a same-station basis. Largely as a result of the addition of new stations, expenses for the TV station group grew 35 percent to $83.5 million. Excluding the new stations, expenses were up 1.9 percent. The television division's segment profit in the third quarter was $41.8 million, compared with $8.1 million in the year-ago period. (See Note 2 in the attached financial information for a definition of segment profit.) During the third quarter, Scripps launched two homegrown 30-minute programs, a game show called "Let's Ask America," and our infotainment program called "The List." The shows, which typically air in the hour before network primetime programming, are on the air in Scripps markets from coast to coast. In less than two months since their debut, the shows are performing at or above the company's expectations. NewspapersTotal revenue from Scripps newspapers in the third quarter was $92.4 million, down 3.7 percent from the third quarter of 2011 and generally consistent with the year-over-year performance in the second quarter.Circulation revenue in the third quarter decreased 2.8 percent to $27.8 million. Print advertising revenue, at $53.4 million, was down 5.3 percent compared with the third quarter of 2011, but the figure was an improvement over the year-over-year decline of 7.2 percent in the second quarter. Advertising revenue broken down by category was:Classified, down 3.0 percent to $18.1 million Classified ? Real Estate ? up 1.3 percent Classified ? Employment ? down 7.6 percent Classified ? Automotive ? down 8.5 percentLocal, down 6.1 percent to $17.5 million Preprint and other, down 1.0 percent to $16.0 million National, down 38 percent to $1.9 million The increase in classified real estate is attributable to strengthening market conditions in Naples, Fla. Digital revenue was up 0.9 percent compared with last year at $6.5 million. Pure play digital revenue increased 4.9 percent over the year-ago quarter. Total segment expenses decreased 5.2 percent to $88.1 million. The expense for newsprint and press supplies decreased 3.1 percent in the quarter, due largely to newsprint expenses that decreased 5.2 percent due to lower volume. Third-quarter segment profit in the newspaper division was $4.2 million, an increase from $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2011. Syndication and other The "syndication and other" category of the company's financial statements includes syndication of news features and comics and other features for the newspaper industry, and certain digital operations outside our newspaper and television markets. In the third quarter, revenues were $1.9 million, and the segment loss was $1.8 million. In the third quarter of 2011, the segment reported profit of less than $200,000. Financial conditionAt September 30, 2012, Scripps had cash and cash equivalents of $210 million, up from $167 million at the end of the second quarter. Total debt was $200 million at the end of the third quarter. The company repurchased approximately 700,000 shares during the quarter at a weighted average price of $10.13. Scripps had been repurchasing shares since the first quarter of 2011 under a buyback authorization of $75 million, which was exhausted during the third quarter. Approximately 8.7 million shares were repurchased at an average price of $8.60 over the past two years.Also, the board of directors has authorized the additional repurchase of up to $100 million of its Class A Common Shares. The shares may be repurchased from time to time at management's discretion, either in the open market, through pre-arranged trading plans or in privately negotiated block transactions. The authorization expires Dec. 31, 2014. The company currently intends to fund approximately half of the buybacks from its cash balance and half using cash proceeds from the potential exercise of employee stock options. Approximately 8.6 million options are currently exercisable at prices between $8.78 and $10.38. They expire at various times through 2016. Year-to-date resultsRevenue through the first three quarters of the year was $644 million, compared with $531 million in the prior-year period. Excluding the recently acquired television stations, revenue increased 6.7 percent.Scripps reported net income in the first nine months of 2012 of $13.0 million, or 23 cents per share, compared with a net loss of $21.8 million, or 38 cents per share, in the same period in 2011.Looking aheadFor year-over-year performance of key metrics in the fourth quarter of 2012, management expects: Reported television revenues to be up about 80 percent; excluding the newly acquired television stations, revenues should increase between 35 and 40 percent Reported television expenses to be up 40 to 45 percent; excluding the newly acquired stations, expenses should increase at a percentage rate in the mid-single digits Newspaper revenues and expenses to decline at a mid-single-digit rate, with the decline in expenses being slightly greater than the decline in revenue Expenses for shared services and corporate to be approximately $9 million The guidance listed above for total fourth-quarter television revenue includes political advertising of approximately $57 million, a figure that was largely fueled by higher-than-expected presidential advertising in the battleground states of Ohio, Florida and Colorado. The division's total political advertising for 2012 was $107 million, of which roughly $84 million came from stations owned more than a year. Before this year, the highest figure for political advertising from those nine stations was $48 million in 2010. Conference call The senior management of The E.W.

ACQUISITION INTEGRATION COSTIncluded in acquisition and related integration costs for the nine-months ended September 30, 2012, is a $5.7 million non-cash charge to terminate the McGraw-Hill stations' national representation agreement. We decided to use our existing national representative in all Scripps markets. As an inducement, our national representative firm agreed to pay the $5.7 million termination fee.2. SEGMENT INFORMATIONWe determine our business segments based upon our management and internal reporting structure. Our reportable segments are strategic businesses that offer different products and services.Television includes ten ABC affiliates, three NBC affiliates, one independent station and five Azteca affiliates. Our television stations reach approximately 13% of the nation's television households. Television stations earn revenue primarily from the sale of advertising time to local and national advertisers.Our newspaper business segment includes daily and community newspapers in 13 markets in the U.S. Newspapers earn revenue primarily from the sale of advertising space to local and national advertisers and from the sale of newspapers to readers.Syndication and other primarily include certain digital operations outside our newspaper and television markets and syndication of news features and comics and other features for the newspaper industry.We allocate a portion of certain digital and corporate costs and expenses, including information technology, certain employee benefits, and other shared services, to our business segments. The allocations are generally amounts agreed upon by management, which may differ from an arms-length amount. Corporate assets are primarily cash and cash equivalents, and other short-term investments, property and equipment primarily used for corporate purposes, and deferred income taxes.Our chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating performance of our business segments and makes decisions about the allocation of resources to our business segments using a measure called segment profit. Segment profit excludes interest, defined benefit plan pension expense (other than current service costs), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, divested operating units, restructuring activities, investment results and certain other items that are included in net income (loss) determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.Effective January 1, 2012, we changed our defined benefit plan pension expense allocation policy to charge business segments only for the current service costs of defined benefit plans. We have recast the prior period for this change.Information regarding our business segments is as follows:Three months endedNine months endedSeptember 30,September 30,(in thousands)20122011Change20122011ChangeSegment operating revenues: Television$125,329$69,93979.2 %$341,983$215,93358.4 % Newspapers92,39095,948(3.7)%293,949304,080(3.3)% Syndication and other1,9251,984(3.0)%7,77311,250(30.9)%Total operating revenues$219,644$167,87130.8 %$643,705$531,26321.2 %Segment profit (loss): Television$41,835$8,064$94,627$28,783 Newspapers4,2493,00315,98015,318 Syndication and other(1,827)161(1,707)(1,713) Shared services and corporate(9,369)(5,823)(25,272)(21,952)Depreciation and amortization(12,136)(10,052)(37,045)(30,501)Impairment of long-lived assets-(9,000)-(9,000)Gains (losses), net on disposal of property, plant and equipment(80)476(50)234Pension expense(1,980)(2,158)(5,755)(5,301)Interest expense(3,288)(362)(9,653)(1,167)Acquisition and related integration costs--(5,826)-Restructuring costs(2,354)(2,614)(6,420)(6,529)Miscellaneous, net(900)110(2,452)(622)Income (loss) from operations before income taxes$14,150$(18,195)$16,427$(32,450) The following is segment operating revenue for television:Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, (in thousands)20122011Change20122011ChangeSegment operating revenues: Local$51,983$41,72524.6 %$168,660$128,55331.2 % National25,99118,76738.5 %83,16561,25735.8 % Political33,9192,05349,8163,435 Digital4,0342,18784.5 %10,6586,65460.2 % Retransmission7,4103,99485.5 %23,00911,80794.9 % Other1,9921,21364.2 %6,6754,22757.9 %Total operating revenues$125,329$69,93979.2 %$341,983$215,93358.4 % The following is segment operating revenue for newspapers:Three months ended Nine months endedSeptember 30, September 30,(in thousands)20122011Change20122011ChangeSegment operating revenues: Local$17,452$18,595(6.1)%$57,174$60,601(5.7)% Classified18,12618,683(3.0)%57,52159,660(3.6)% National1,9193,069(37.5)%6,6149,808(32.6)% Preprint and other15,95216,106(1.0)%49,21650,770(3.1)% Print advertising53,44956,453(5.3)%170,525180,839(5.7)% Circulation27,80128,604(2.8)%88,06889,896(2.0)% Digital6,4596,4000.9 %19,44919,3970.3 % Other4,6814,4914.2 %15,90713,94814.0 %Total operating revenues$92,390$95,948(3.7)%$293,949$304,080(3.3)% 3.

Flexibility of vaccination schedule and lower antigen content can facilitate pandemic vaccine coverage. We assessed the immune response and safety of AS03-adjuvanted A/California/7/2009 H1N1 pandemic vaccine containing half of the registered adult haemagglutinin (HA) antigen content, administered as a two-dose schedule at intervals of 21 days or 6 months in both young and elderly adults.
In this open-label randomized trial, healthy adults aged 18–60 years (N = 163) and >60 years (N = 143) received AS03A-adjuvanted A/California/7/2009 H1N1 vaccine containing 1.9 μg HA on Day 0. A second dose was given on Day 21 (n = 177) or Day 182 (n = 106). Haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) antibody responses were analyzed on Days 0, 21, 42, 182, 364 and additionally on Day 203 for subjects vaccinated on Day 182. Solicited and unsolicited adverse events were recorded.
The HI antibody response in both age strata 21 days after the first dose met and exceeded all regulatory acceptance criteria although the results suggested a lower response in the older age stratum (geometric mean titres [GMTs] for HI antibodies of 420.5 for subjects aged 18–60 years and 174.4 for those >60 years). A second dose of AS03A adjuvanted A/H1N1/2009 vaccine induced a further increase in antibody titres and the response was similar whether the second dose was administered at 21 days (GMTs of 771.8 for 18–60 years and 400.9 for >60 years) or 6 months (GMTs of 708.3 for 18–60 years and 512.1 for >60 years) following the first dose. Seroprotection rates remained high at 6 months after one dose or two doses while at 12 months rates tended to be higher for the 6 month interval schedule (93.3% for 18–60 years and 80.4% for >60 years) than the 21 day schedule (82.3% for 18–60 years and 50.0% for >60 years). Reactogenicity/safety profiles were similar for both schedules, there was no evidence of an increase in reactogenicity following the second dose.
The results indicate that flexibility in the dosing interval for AS03A adjuvanted vaccine may be possible. Such flexibility could help to reduce the logistic stress on delivery of pandemic vaccination programmes.

Product description
In the aftermath of World War II the development of military fighter aircraft in the USA continued apace to take advantage of a new form of propulsion - the jet engine. With incredibly swift progress, post-war fighter design embraced supersonic types and the early development of the American jet fighter reached its maturity. Design competitions were held which led to the F-87 to F-93 series of fighters and, not to be outdone, the US Navy ran competitions for carrier-based jets which resulted in the Douglas Skyknight, Grumman Panther and Vought Cutlass. All projects resulted in a large number of design studies and proposals including plans for a Navy Long Range Escort Fighter (the abandoned OS-112). Some are quite well known but, following recent access to the papers in the Sarah Clark and George Spangenberg document collections in the US National Archives, many further previously unknown or unseen designs have come to light including new information on the types that were flown. Competitions for, amongst others, the McDonnell Demon carrier based jet fighter together with flying boat fighters culminated in the first full supersonic design competitions held for each Service including the MX1554 (Convair F-102 Delta Dagger) and OS-130 (Vought F8U Crusader) programmes. "Early US Jet Fighter, Proposals, Projects and Prototypes" tells the story of these developments backed up with three-view drawings, manufacturer's models and rare photographs. Appendices illustrate the effort being put into this work during the 1940s and 1950s, by detailing American research establishments and test facilities, chief designers, flight characteristics and a curious one-off study of an in-flight refuelling concept.

Review quote
"Tony Buttler has forged a deservedly brilliant reputation for gems like this. Treat yourself to loads of fascinating fun - and get his Early US Jet Fighters. Robustly recommended." -David L.--David L. Veres"Cybermodeler Online" (11/26/2013)
Flap copy
As the era of the piston-engined fighter closed the new jet engine was ushered in, aircraft designers of the 1940s and 50s struggled to meet the ever-more challenging demands of the US Air Force and Navy, as most of the new engine and airframe technology, and their increasing knowledge of high-speed flight. Most of the new designs were turbojet powered, although others used turboprop, rocket propulsion, or even various combinations of engine, in order to meet conflicting performance requirements and overcome the limitations of the earliest turbojet engines. Flying-boat fighters were planned and major competitions were held to bring the first supersonic fighters into service. Richly illustrated with drawings and photographs and detailed appendices, "Early US Jet Fighters- Proposals, Projects and Prototypes" is a fascinating record of US fighter designs in the decade following World War II, as both the military manufacturers and the US military pushed the limits of the era's technology to meet the new threats of a fast changing world.

Originally written on Mets360.com | Last updated 11/22/11
Yesterday the Texas Rangers signed closer Joe Nathan to a two year $14.5M with a club option for a third year at $9M. Nathan, who turns 37 today, was once one of baseball's best closers from 2004 to 2009 he compiled 246 saves, made it to the All-Star game four times, and finish top five in the Cy Young Award voting twice. Then he had Tommy John surgery in 2010, which forced him to miss all of the 2010 season. He came back in 2011 and was clearly not the same pitcher he was two years early. Last season in 44.2 innings pitched he had a 4.84 ERA and collected just 14 saves. Now he gets a fresh start in Texas, where he and the Rangers hope that last season was just an adjustment period. Jonathan Papelbon set the market for closers early this off-season with a four year $50M deal with the Philadelphia Phillies. Now, a pitcher like Nathan is given $7M a year after a very poor season in 2011. So what's this mean for the Mets, who are looking to spend money on one of the many closers out ...

I've found the 50-200mm fits well, for me, on the E-620. I have not used it with my E-420, but have with my E-5, where it also fits and feels well. I just acquired the 35-100mm lens, and I suspect that will be used with the E-5 alone. I used the combination the other night, so I'll have to see how that went. I did find the weight noticeable, but by no means unwieldy.

Review By Steve Angelly - August 23, 2005
The problem with positioning
the NF4-SLI chipset just to the right and in-line with the PCI-E slots is
present like on other SLI boards. Therefore, changing to a larger heatsink with
fan cooling
solution is not possible due to either a video card, in a single-card
arrangement, or the bottom card, in a SLI arrangement (as seen above), having to go over the
chipsets HSF.
EVGA has included a LED for general identification of errors on bootup. This
provides the potential of identifying the source of where the board problem is
originating from such as the video, HDDs, CPU, memory, etc.
Just below and to the left of the LED is the CMOS jumper (JBAT).
The BIOS chip is just visible in the photo in the upper left hand corner.
There are three (3) USB 2.0 headers positioned under the BIOS chip at the bottom of the board. The headers bring the total supported USB 2.0 device capability on the board to 10. The delicate pins for the USB headers are unprotected which is usually not a significant concern. However, these unprotected pins are located right at the bottom edge of the board and can easily be bent or damaged when handling the board. On the board I received, I found several of the pins bent after removing the board from its packing. Simple straightening was all that was needed but still a concern when handling the board outside the case.
There are 4 fan headers on the board. One conveniently located for the CPU fan, one pre-connected to the chipset fan HSF, and two for additional use (such as case fans) located at the bottom right and bottom center of the board.
A nice touch for system builders and tweakers are the integrated on-board power and reset buttons that this board provides. This makes it much simpler during the build process and/or testing, especially with the board outside the case.

Police report tens of thousands on beaches, miles of backed up traffic, a stabbing
CORPUS CHRISTI - An estimated tens of thousands of beachgoers kept police busy on Saturday with traffic that backed up all the way to Flour Bluff and a stabbing that sent a man to the hospital.
Two men were arrested late Saturday in connection with a fight that escalated into the stabbing about 8:15 p.m. near Newport Pass, Cmdr. Todd Green of the Corpus Christi Police Department said in a news release.
The man who was stabbed was taken to Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial with what police described as a stab wound to the side that wasn't life-threatening.
But overall, police reported that there were relatively few problems with the crowds on the beaches.
The crowd, which Green described as near capacity, prompted police to close Beach Access Road 3 for about an hour Saturday afternoon as traffic backed up from Beach Access Road 3 to Laguna Shores drive in the Flour Bluff area.
As a result of the stabbing and the large crowd that remained on the beach after dark, additional officers were sent to help with crowd and traffic control.
Traffic officers worked beyond scheduled shifts to move the traffic from the beach. Gang Unit officers were also patrolling late Saturday to deter any gang activity, Green said. He added that Police Chief Troy Riggs had authorized additional officers if needed.
At about 10 p.m., Green said the crowd was beginning to disperse and police were reporting heavy traffic along State Highway 361, Park Road 22 and South Padre Island Drive.

Latest ATLA News
Finalized cover image for Avatar: The Last Airbender: Legacy
Posted by Icy_Ashford on June 19th, 2015 @ 9:42 PM EST (792)
announced last year that there will be an "Avatar: The Last Airbender: Legacy" book. The release date has been pushed back several times and we are still unsure what the actual release date is but the finalized cover has been released!
I guessed last year that the final cover could maybe consist of an image of an adult Aang with a young Tenzin. And boy, am I really surprised and blown away that my prediction came true. The image of the finalized cover is embedded in this post and I just can't help but feel the warmth that is radiating from the picture. Click on the image for a full sized view of the picture.
I can't wait to read the book when it is finally out. Feel free to pre-order this on Amazon or BookDepository.

ATLA comic for Free Comic Book Day 2015
Posted by Icy_Ashford on December 18th, 2014 @ 8:54 AM EST (782)
comic line up for Free Comic Book Day 2015 is out and once again, we will have an Avatar: The Last Airbender comic. We don't know the details of the story yet but it features Ty Lee and Toph on the cover. Quite an interesting combination.
The writer for this comic is Gene Luen Yang who also writes the main ATLA comics. The artist is Carla Speed McNeil whom is an artist new to this franchise.
FCBD will fall on May 2nd 2015 (Saturday) so keep your eyes peeled for a sneak preview in the future.
Fourth Avatar comics trilogy announced: "Smoke and Shadow"
Posted by SMBH on December 2nd, 2014 @ 8:59 PM EST (780)
announced yesterday the continuation of the Avatar comics series written by Gene Luen Yang and illustrated by Gurihiru.
The fourth trilogy will be titled Smoke and Shadow (it doesn't start with "The"!), and takes place after the events of The Rift (the third trilogy, after "The Promise" which was the first, and "The Search" which came second).
The story focus will be "on the Fire Nation and a segment of the population none too happy with the rule of Fire Lord Zuko".
The comic will go into detail about a group of people we first met on the ATLA Free Comic Book Day 2013 comic titled Rebound -- the New Ozai Society, a group of malcontents who are rebelling against the new post-war government of the Fire Nation, and whose leader is Mai's father.
Will Mai and Zuko get back together? Will we see Azula again? Will Zuko suffer through yet more assassination attempts? (poor kid). We'll need to wait until September 23, 2015 for the release of Smoke and Shadow, Part 1, to start finding out!
The CBR article also includes an interview with Gene, and images of the covers for the first two books in the trilogy, which we have reproduced here on the right. Click on the thumbnails to see the cover images at full size.
Yay for more Avatar comics!

Additional Information on A Donkey And Goat Syrah Perli Vineyards 2012
A Donkey And Goat
Vintage: 2012
2012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Varietal: Syrah
The Shiraz or Syrah grape varietal has seen a huge surge in popularity over the past few decades, partly due to the fact that more and more wineries around the world are beginning to plant and process this robust and flavorful grape for international audiences. This varietal has plenty going for it, and has the special ability of being able to clearly express positive features of its terroir in the bottle, alongside its characteristic flavors of dark berries, pepper and other spices. Shiraz/Syrah is also notably a highly versatile grape, and has been successfully used in several type of still red wine, as well as excellent sparkling and fortified wines. It is also regularly used as a blending grape, where it is prized for its ability to add a bold and strong, spicy punch to mellow, blended wines.
Region: California
Since the 18th century, California has been a hugely important and influential wine region, acting as a trailblazer for other New World wine regions and utilizing an important blend of traditional and contemporary practices, methods and techniques relating to their wine production. Split into four key areas – the North Coast, the Central Coast, the South Coast and the Central Valley – Californian wineries make the most of their ideal climate and rich variety of terrains in order to produce a fascinating range of wines made with a long list of different fine grape varietals. Today, the state has almost half a million acres under vine, and is one of the world's largest wine exporters, with Californian wines being drunk and enjoyed all across the globe.
Country: United States
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

My family loved it...easy to make and delicious to eat!
