Living peacefully
You know what happened in Boston was a tragedy. But I don't see why we criticize someone for doing this when we send troops to do the exact same things in other countries. Maybe if we actually lived the way we're supposed to, and elected politicians who would bring peace instead of these idiot neoconservatives and these Obama-type liberals, we'd be able to live in peace. Maybe if people who were pro-life, such as myself, actually held a consistent life ethic, actually knew the difference an unjust war and a just war, we wouldn't be going doing this in another country. Why do people not cry for the Palestinian kids that get attacked by Israelis, or the churches that are bombed in Pakistan? No child should ever lose his or her life, and, if you're not willing to change that, if you're not willing to do something about it, you're just as guilty.
Tax increases
The Aiken Master Plan for Recreation wants a 2 percent increase on prepared food and beverage. We are paying 7 percent now. That's a 35 percent increase! We would all be paying 9 percent on each restaurant visit. What's it for? It's to replace youth service fees for softball, soccer and adult church league softball teams. We already have paid for some great parks. Let those folks who wish to play on teams in our parks pay the small fee they are now paying.
NAACP support
Regarding NAACP, where were you? Where were we when Sandy Rogers and Scotty Richardson were killed? We were right there with the memorials for each of these fallen heroes, and their killers were caught and charged. We were there and supported both prayerfully and financially. But of course you would know this if you had attended a branch meeting, open to the public You do not have to be a member to attend and its held the first Tuesday each month at 7 p.m. at the Smith-Hazel Recreational Center. I emphasize, if you want to know what the NAACP is doing, come to our meeting.
Athletic programs
Congratulations to Aiken Tech. May we now expect the removal of parasitic athletic programs from the shrinking budgets of our secondary schools?
Media coverage
In our "media soaked" society, the best way for evil losers to get their names and pictures out there is to kill some innocent people. We see it over and over. I truly believe that if the media would not print pictures and names of these attention-seeking nuts, our country would be a safer place.
Senators' funds
Looks like our senators have had their pockets well stuffed with NRA money. Shame on you Graham and Scott.

Todd Discusses Character Design with Animator
Friday, June 03, 2005
Welcome to the latest spawn.com update on the Spawn: Animation project. This two-part series will discuss the challenges faced by an animator creating a brand-new character from just the typewritten page, as well as the task of adapting an established character for a new story.
Designing a New Character, Officer Ainge
As we have announced, Spawn is in the production process of returning to the world of animation. Two weeks ago we discussed how the script came to pass, now we will explain another important step in creating the new animated Spawn: character design.
There are a total of 12 main characters and 28 incidental characters in Todd's animation script with each one having only two or three short sentences to describe them. Although each character is written with a brief description of his or her look and attitude, the life experience each reader brings to the script can influence the visualization of what the character looks like as an illustration. When manipulating a script into a visual piece, one of the biggest challenges is capturing the perfect look of each character. In animation, unlike live action, the possibilities are endless when it comes to designing a character. There are no acting requirements of an illustrated actor, so an artist's mind's eye is all that is in the way of achieving the exact look of the character the author is trying to convey.
In one instance our designers at IDT/Film Roman had the job of drawing Officer Ainge, a corrupt cop. The description in the script says, "...white, about 30." That's it! Not much to go on. Granted a few other details can be pulled out of the script from the scenes the character is in, but in the end, it's subjective to each reader. For instance, we know he's on the take and despite the uniform, is not one of the good guys. But a criminal can actually look a hundred different ways. For example, Hannibal Lector, Tyler Durden, Keyser Soze and Cruella D'Ville all look very different indeed. So where does a designer begin?
At this point we thought it would be cool to actually have Todd ask the designer his process of creating a character from only those three little words and just a few scenes in an 80+-page script.
AJ Jothikumas, a designer in the animation business for nine years, and Todd had a conversation where Todd asked him to explain his process in designing the characters for this Spawn animated project. Though the conversation was specifically about Officer Ainge, AJ also gave some overall insight on how each unique character came to fruition.
AJ: First I read through the entire script to get an idea for the overall feel of the show and to get a feel for the essence of each character from the scenes they are in. From the characteristics I notice, I create visual cues that lead you to feel a certain way about that character. Using the example of Ainge, I saw him as a Ray Liotta type, with a smirky smile and an overall bad-guy air to him. When I felt like I had the design pretty close, I showed my directors here in the IDT/Film Roman office. They were happy with the feeling they got from the drawing. The next step was to show you. When we sent the sketch over the note we got back from you, Terry and Janet was that you weren't really feeling the look of Ainge in the same way we were.
Todd: Yeah, he was too slick-looking. Not "everyday Joe" enough for me.
AJ: Yes. But luckily you liked one of the other officers I had created, as one of the 10 other cops for the show, so we didn't have to go through a lot of revisions. You saw Ainge as someone more block/meat-headish and luckily I had drawn one of the background officers that way. So we flipped drawings and we had our Ainge.
Todd: Funny thing was once we flipped the two characters, the other directors/producers all agreed that the new Ainge was our guy. Sometimes first perceptions can cheat you.
AJ: With other characters, though, I drew anywhere from 10 to 20 different looks. Really quick drawings, some using ballpoint pen, some using color, some with pencil, just to get the certain detail I was hoping for. From those, we'd discuss them internally and narrow down the characteristics we wanted to capture what we thought personified the character. We have been fortunate because a lot of what we have sent over, you have been receptive to. There have been very few revisions in comparison with some other jobs I've had, so we've felt pretty lucky. But this has been the most challenging job I've ever had; it's the job with the most detail by far. We are doing a lot of really unique things with this show. People should be really excited to see the final product.
Todd: Like AJ mentioned, I wasn't thrilled with their rendition of Ainge. However, whenever they send over artwork, there is usually quite a bit to look at and take in. Along with this Ainge drawing were four other cop designs for background characters and luckily one of those happened to look more like the Ainge I had in my mind. Quick and painlessly we flipped the two characters. My objective is to always keep things moving and not draw something out that has a quick fix. Once that was taken care of, turns of the character had to be created. Front, back and side views were added to the three-quarters view and more notes were given. In this case the only thing Officer Ainge needed was a haircut. His head looked much too boxy with a flat top cut. I asked AJ to take a little off the back and Officer Ainge was good to go. In a little more than four days we had one of our 10 most important characters for the show done.
In this case the changes were minimal, although crucial to the end product. Overall I don't like to be too obvious when choosing looks for my characters. If it's a bad guy, maybe he should look like the cop next door or your local Boy Scout leader. If it's a good guy, perhaps he should look a bit tortured or at odds with himself, to convey it's not easy to always make the right decisions. Characters with character make things more interesting.
In part two of the series I will tell you about all the challenges that AJ was faced with when attempting to re-create Sam for this project.
Stay tuned for the next edition of the Spawn: Animation update. Click here to read previous updates.

Each of these applications is incorporated herein in their entirety by this reference.
1. Technical Field
This application relates to a surgical stapling apparatus, and more particularly, to an articulating mechanism for use with an endoscopic surgical stapling apparatus for sequentially applying a plurality of surgical fasteners to body tissue and optionally incising fastened tissue.
2. Background of Related Art
Surgical devices wherein tissue is first grasped or clamped between opposing jaw structure and then joined by surgical fasteners are well known in the art. In some instruments a knife is provided to out the tissue which has been joined by the fasteners. The fasteners are typically in the form of surgical staples but two part polymeric fasteners can also be utilized.
Instruments for this purpose can include two elongated members which are respectively used to capture or clamp tissue. Typically, one of the members carries a staple cartridge which houses a plurality of staples arranged in at least two lateral rows while the other member has an anvil that defines a surface for forming the staple legs as the staples are driven from the staple cartridge. Generally, the stapling operation is effected by cam bars that travel longitudinally through the staple cartridge, with the cam bars acting upon staple pushers to sequentially eject the staples from the staple cartridge. A knife can travel between the staple rows to longitudinally cut and/or open the stapled tissue between the rows of staples. Such instruments are disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,079,606 and 3,490,675.
A later stapler disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,499,591 applies a double row of staples on each side of the incision. This is accomplished by providing a disposable loading unit in which a cam member moves through an elongate guide path between two sets of staggered staple carrying grooves. Staple drive members are located within the grooves and are positioned in such a manner so as to be contacted by the longitudinally moving cam member to effect ejection of the staples from the staple cartridge of the disposable loading unit. Other examples of such staplers are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,429,695 and 5,065,929.
Each of the instruments described above were designed for use in conventional surgical procedures wherein surgeons have direct manual access to the operative site. However, in endoscopic or laparoscopic procedures, surgery is performed through a small incision or through a narrow cannula inserted through small entrance wounds in the skin. In order to address the specific needs of endoscopic and/or laparoscopic surgical procedures, endoscopic surgical stapling devices have been developed and are disclosed in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,040,715 (Green, et al.); U.S. Pat No. 5,307,976 (Olson, et al.); U.S. Pat. No. 5,312,023 (Green, et al.); U.S. Pat. No. 5,318,221 (Green, et al.); U.S. Pat. No. 5,326,013 (Green, et al.); and U.S Pat. No. 5,332,142 (Robinson, et al.).
U.S. Surgical, the assignee of the present application, has manufactured and marketed endoscopic stapling instruments, such as the Multifire ENDO GIA*30 and Multifire ENDO GIA*60 instruments, for several years. These instruments have provided significant clinical benefits. Nonetheless, improvements are possible, for example, by reducing the cost and complexity of manufacture.
Current laparoscopic linear stapling devices are configured to operate with disposable loading units (U.S. Surgical) and staple cartridges (Ethicon) of only one size. For example, individual linear staplers are presently available for applying parallel rows of staples measuring 30 mm, 45 mm and 60 mm in length. Thus, during a normal operation, a surgeon may be required to utilize several different stapling instruments to perform a single laparoscopic surgical procedure. Such practices increase the time, complexity and overall costs associated with laparoscopic surgical procedures. In addition, costs are greater in designing and manufacturing multiple stapler sizes, as opposed to creating a single, multipurpose stapler.
It would be extremely beneficial to provide a surgical device for use during laparoscopic and/or endoscopic surgical procedures that can be employed with several different sized disposable loading units to reduce the overall costs associated with such procedures. It would also be particularly beneficial if the device could perform multiple tasks, using disposable loading units of varying size and of varying purpose, such as, for example, to staple, clip, cut and/or articulate.
In making improvements or modifications to the current instruments, it would be highly desirable not to sacrifice any of the important benefits of the MULTIFIRE ENDO GIA*30 and 60 instruments as compared to other commercially available products, e.g., the endoscopic stapling instruments manufactured and marketed by Ethicon, Inc. For example, any improvement should advantageously provide a fresh knife blade for each firing of the instrument and ensure that the disposable loading unit is securely retained in the stapling instrument unless and until the operating team chooses to remove it. These advantages have historically been found in the U.S. Surgical instruments, but not in the Ethicon instruments.
In accordance with the present disclosure, a surgical stapling apparatus for sequentially applying a plurality of fasteners to body tissue and simultaneously incising tissue is provided. The surgical stapling apparatus is adapted to receive disposable loading units having rows of staples having a linear length of between 30 mm and 60 mm. The surgical stapling apparatus is also adapted to receive articulating and non-articulating disposable loading units.
The surgical stapling apparatus includes a handle assembly having a movable handle and a stationary handle. The movable handle is movable through an actuation stroke to clamp tissue and to effect ejection of staples from the disposable loading unit. An elongated body extends distally from the handle assembly and defines a longitudinal axis. An actuation shaft having a toothed rack is operably associated with the movable handle by a pawl mechanism. The distal end of the actuation shaft is connected to a control rod having a distal end adapted to operatively engage an axial drive assembly located within a disposable loading unit.
The stapling apparatus includes an articulation mechanism having an articulation lever operatively engaged with a cam member having a stepped camming channel. The cam member is engaged with a translation member which includes a pin dimensioned to be received within the stepped camming channel such that pivotable movement of the lever causes linear movement of the translation member. A first articulation link includes a proximal end adapted to engage the translation member and a distal end adapted to engage a second articulation link positioned within the disposable loading unit. Linear movement of the translation member causes linear movement of the articulation links to cause articulation of a tool assembly of the disposable loading unit.
The surgical stapling apparatus also preferably includes a sensing mechanism for sensing the type of disposable loading unit secured to the elongated body of the apparatus. The sensing mechanism includes a sensing tube positioned within the elongated body to engage a disposable loading unit secured to the elongated body. A sensing cylinder connected to the sensing tube engages a locking ring having a tab portion configured to engage the articulation mechanism in a first position to prevent movement of the articulation lever. The locking ring is moved by the sensing cylinder when an articulating disposable loading unit is secured to the elongated body of the stapling apparatus to a second position to disengage the tab portion from the articulation mechanism to permit movement of the articulation lever. In contrast, a non-articulating disposable loading unit will not unlock the articulation lever.
Various preferred embodiments are described herein with reference to the drawings:
Preferred embodiments of the presently disclosed endoscopic surgical stapling apparatus will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings, in which like reference numerals designate identical or corresponding elements in each of the several views.

Hi! It occurs to me that I owe you guys an apology. When I first joined, I was delighted by every single response that lovely people took the time to post on my Newbies Start Here thread ... People like Volic and John Dalglish and Cowboy, who make it a point to greet every newcomer to this message board. It made me feel very welcome. I haven't done that...
The problem is that I am incredibly lazy. :eek2: I do read many of your posts, but I'm too lazy to come up with an individual response to them... And I'm sorry. Unfortunately, I can't promise that I'll change. You see, there is so much to read and do here at this site, that I'm unlikely to start responding on a regular basis... Sorry. But, the thing is, you are most well come. Each and every one of you.
I am delighted that you are here. We all are. Come join the party over in the Cantina and Patio. Check out the stacks in the Library. Join the discussions over in Books. Vote for the U.S. President or the Red Sox over in Surveys. New opinions and information are always welcome. You are always welcome. You'll find a wise and witty Moderator (and yes, we all have to wait before our posts show up. It isn't just you. They'll get there.) There are some wonderful wolves, a very smart super hero, a newly in love couple, and many caring and thoughtful people no matter where you go here. You may find a few Yankees fans, but hey... They are mostly harmless. :biggrin2:
So, please consider this my blanket welcome to any and all newcomers. You are all invited to snuggle in under it and forgive me for my laziness. I look forward to chatting with you soon.
Most sincerely yours,

Sorry Apple hasn't always had the best visual design and prior to WWDC and iOS 7 there were lots of complaints about iOS interface looking old, ugly unnecessary skeuomorphism, inconsistency between apps, etc. Now it's as if people are forgetting that (or the fans of Forstall's skeuomorphism are whining the loudest).
We need to remember that iOS was basically redesigned in 6 months or so. That's nuts. Maybe Ive and Federighi bit off more than they could chew, but had iOS 7 looked like iOS 6 (even with some of the skeuomorphism removed). People would've still been whining and complaining wondering what Apple has been doing the last 6 months.
iOS 7 is clearly an unfinished product that needs more polish but I don't think Apple could afford to wait until 2014 to do this. I'm sure Apple is getting a lot of good feedback and working overtime to finish things that are unfinished. The frothing at the mouth by some, especially designers who seem to be going way overboard with their concerns is ridiculous. iOS 7 isn't being released tomorrow. Most likely we'll see a much more polished product come September or October. I think we need to follow Jim Dalrymple's advice: take a deep breath and relax.

The Wolves took their first lead of the night, 3-2, at 11:28. Forward Michael Davies sent an across ice pass through the slot to a streaking Asselin, who tapped the puck over the line and past Russo.
Longpre closed out the scoring for Chicago at 7:07 of the third period when he beat Russo, stick-side.
Rockford (0-1-0-0) opened scoring with a pair of goals 1:44 apart in the first period. Right wing Harrison Reed scored past Wolves netminder Charlie Effinger at 10:36, while left wing Brandon Svendsen potted his goal at 12:04.

Lady Cats traveled to Wilburton last Friday night for the season opener. The Lady Cats came out with a bang and thanks to 3 for 3 on three point shots by Senior Chelsi Thomas, at the end of the first quarter, the score was tied at 14-14. Both teams came to play and at the half, the Lady Diggers were up 26-23.
After the half the Lady Cats were more determined than ever, but so were the Lady Diggers, and at the end of the 3rd they had a lead of 39-33, but the Lady Cats were more determined than ever, they came back with a vengeance, holding Wilbuton at bay and allowing them not to score a single point in the 4th period. Kendie Bryant sunk a 3 in the final moments of the game to move the Lady Cats ahead by two.
Wilburton answered with a break down the floor, but Lady Cat Meagan Wilbourn swatted the ball out of shot contention. Headed down the floor again the ball was overturned and into Wilburton's possession, only to be stolen by Lady Cat Senior Megan Brame, once again possession by Lady Cats.
Wilburton, frustrated by the Lady Cat offense began to foul, and finally a successful round at the Freethrow line by Cheyanne Simpson closed it out with Lady Cats defeating the Lady Diggers in a nail biting finish 42-38!
Senior Chelsi Thomas led scoring with 11 points, and 5 rebounds. Senior Megan Brame led the team with assists having 6 , 7 points and 6 rebounds. Junior Cheyanne Simpson led the team in steals with 5, also contributing 6 points, and 5 rebounds. After an amazing come back from a recent injury, Junior Kendie Bryant had 8 points, 3 assists and 1 rebound. Junior Meagan Wilbourn led the team in rebounds with 8, and contributed 8 points and 2 assists to boot.
Coming off the bench, Junior Emma Branton had a phenomenal 7 rebounds and added 2 points to the board. Junior Macy Smith had a crucial rebound. To sum it up collectively, the Lady Cats had 42 points and an impressive 13 assists and 17 steals.
This Tuesday the Lady Cats take on the Boswell Scorpions at home and travel to Talihina for the Talihina Festival this Thursday, Friday & Saturday .View more articles in:

text: Diane Lefer: Though the Supreme Court ruled on May 17, that juveniles must not be sentenced to life without parole for any crime short of homicide, we expected no surprise and no mercy when we arrived in court Friday morning for the sentencing of young Tedi Snyder. But Judge Ohta did not hand down the preordained 80-year-to-life-sentence. Not because such a sentence is, in effect, equivalent to life without parole, but rather because he, the judge, was recovering from surgery.

First and most importantly, you should understand that Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a strong antiviral compound. Its mechanism of action is not fully understood, but it inhibits viral replication and infectivity of many virus types, including HSV1, HSV2 and HZV; its efficacy is not just due to improved healing, antioxidant activity, or vaguely defined "boosting of the immune system." Like all antiviral drugs, ascorbic acid has an effective concentration in the target tissue, and so the goal of the directions that follow is to raise the concentration in the herpes lesions high enough to affect the virus. We will accomplish this by using both oral and topical Vitamin C.
These directions require you to use Vitamin C in a manner similar to using prescription drugs. In other words, you must use it several times daily, and be diligent. If you paid hundreds of dollars for a prescription drug, and were instructed to use it 5 times a day for 7 days, or twice a day for a year, you certainly wouldn't expect it to work by taking one dose. Yet most people, if they ever think to try Vitamin C, will typically locate that dusty bottle of Vitamin C tablets, eat one this evening, and tomorrow morning when their symptoms haven't disappeared, conclude that Vitamin C doesn't help.
Here are the simple directions--you will find information below about what products to use and how this treatment works.
Note: Begin treatment as soon as possible. Apply topical vitamin C immediately to areas where prodrome symptoms occur. The first day is the most important. A blister may not even develop if caught early, and blisters and sores will be smaller, less painful, and will heal more quickly using this treatment.
1. Take oral vitamin C at least three times daily until the symptoms are gone. One gram (1000 mg) every 8 hours is recommended. More frequent use is desirable, but more than 6 times daily is unnecessary.
2. Apply topical vitamin C AT LEAST three times daily until the symptoms are gone. More frequent application is desirable, up to hourly if possible on the first day.
1. Take oral vitamin C at least daily.
2. Apply topical vitamin C daily to areas where outbreaks generally occur.
Eating Vitamin C will raise the level in the bloodstream, thus raising the exposure throughout the body including the skin and the lesions. Vitamin C is quickly absorbed from the gut and raises the blood level very high. However, it is also relatively quickly cleared from the bloodstream by the kidneys. Typically the level in the blood rises and stays high for a few hours before dropping off. Thus oral Vitamin C should be taken several times daily: taking three 1000 mg tablets in the morning is not the same as taking one every 8 hours. Almost any vitamin C brand is acceptable. I recommend the least expensive big bottle of tablets you can find, but if you want to eat Ester-C or drink Emergen-C, that's up to you. Most people easily tolerate 3 grams (3000 mg) daily, but if you have any problem with this amount, use smaller doses, such as 500 mg or 200 mg three times a day. There is only so much Vitamin C that the tissues can absorb via the oral route, and 3 grams daily provides a large excess in most cases.
Topical application is how we boost the Vitamin C in the lesions. This doesn't require application to the entire body, only to the affected areas. But it is important that the solution being applied is relatively concentrated and consists of Vitamin C in a chemical form that can be absorbed by the skin. Your skin is not like the digestive tract: it doesn't have the acids and enzymes that will break down mineral ascorbates, esters such as tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, etc. So Ester-C, and topical products containing ascorbyl palmitate, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate or other chemical derivatives are not what you need. Only ascorbic acid or dehydroascorbic acid will work.
There are two ways to get an appropriate solution for topical application: buy a prepared product, or make your own.
Pre-prepared solutions are cosmetic products, generally sold as "Vitamin C Serums." You are seeking products that contain 5% or greater concentrations of L-Ascorbic Acid or L-Dehydroascorbic Acid. There are lots of skin lotions available at your local store that have "Vitamin C" on the label: THESE ARE NOT THE PRODUCTS YOU WANT. They do not contain high levels of vitamin C. The serums you are looking for are found online, at high-end salons, or dermatologists offices. Many are very pricey, but you will find that you don't use very much, so they can last a long time if you take care to store them properly. Transfer a small amount into a small clean container for daily use and keep the original container in the refrigerator. Used this way, these products are quite economical and so for most people are more practical than attempting home made. A new product called ReCverin 50/50 by ReCverin ($79 for 2 oz) is recommended, since it contains dehydroascorbic acid which is a stronger antiviral than ascorbic acid. Another recommended product is C+ Firming Serum by Cellular Skin Rx, since it is high in ascorbic acid concentration and also reasonably priced ($38 for 1 oz). Others include products by Skinceuticals, Obagi, LaRoche-Posay, Cellex-C, Mario Badescu and Rexsol. Avoid Perricone MD, Avalon Organics, and Emerge, as they contain ineffective derivatives. There are many other brands…read the ingredients label.
To make your own, you can obtain pure ascorbic acid powder, dissolve it in water, and mix with glycerin. Mix one teaspoon ascorbic acid (5 grams) in 5 teaspoons warm water and stir until dissolved. Then add 5 teaspoons glycerin, and stir until the solution is clear and without swirls. This yields a solution of about 10% ascorbic acid. Store refrigerated. There was a time when ascorbic acid powder and USP glycerin were commonly available at local pharmacies, but you will probably discover that these ingredients are hard to come by locally, and you may need to go online to buy them. It is possible to make a solution from vitamin C tablets by crushing them and dissolving in water, but tablets contain insoluble binders, so there will be some "stuff" left in the bottom of the cup. If you go this route, first make sure you get tablets that contain l-ascorbic acid. Crush to a powder five 1000 mg tablets (5 grams) and add to 5 teaspoons warm water. Stir regularly for about two hours to make sure the ascorbic acid dissolves, then cover the cup and let stand in the refrigerator overnight. Then, carefully pour off the clear solution on the top into another cup, leaving behind as much of the insoluble "stuff" in the first cup as you can. Finally add the 5 teaspoons glycerin as above. If you can't get glycerin, you can apply ascorbic acid in water with a cotton swab. But a pure water solution will dry out quickly on the skin, so you need to apply it more frequently to get the ascorbic acid to penetrate.
It is conceivable to make dehydroascorbic acid solution for topical use at home, but it is difficult and/or expensive at best. One option is to obtain a product called Ascoxal which is sold in Scandinavia and maybe some other countries, but not in the USA. It is a tablet intended to be dissolved in water and used as a mouthwash. It is known to produce a short-lived solution of dehydroascorbic acid. Ascoxal was patented and first sold in the late 1950s. In 1995, it was used in a clinical trial in Finland as a therapy for cold sores. Briefly, one tablet was dissolved in about ½ teaspoon of water and blotted on the lesion (or the area of prodrome symptoms) for 5 minutes. This process was repeated 30 minutes later, and then again 30 minutes after that. The results were remarkable, better than any prescription antiviral currently sold. The solution contained, at best, 3% dehydroascorbic acid, only a single one-hour treatment was used, and the subjects were not given oral vitamin C supplementation. The authors recommended further testing with more applications. So, if you have a friend in Sweden, maybe you can get hold of some. If you want to read the study, see Antiviral Research 27 (1995) pages 263-270.
Another possibility for home made dehydroascorbic acid is to obtain the compound from a chemical supply house in its pure, powdered form. The best price I've seen is about $40 per gram. Most chemical suppliers won't sell directly to the public, but you might have a contact in a laboratory or at a university that can help. Dry dehydroascorbic acid powder doesn't dissolve well, and so it requires heating the water to about 60 degrees C (140 F) with constant stirring to dissolve. It is difficult to get more than about 5% concentration. Heat destroys the compound, so it is important to not overheat the solution, and to cool it immediately after it dissolves. Water solutions are extremely unstable, especially if the pH isn't acidic. The best way to acidify it is to add about an equal amount of ascorbic acid right after the dehydroascorbic acid dissolves. Then mix the water solution with equal parts glycerin and store refrigerated. This process is not recommended for those who don't have laboratory experience and basic tools like heating stir plates, magnetic stir bars, small beakers and flasks, and a thermometer.

Just wondering, who would win? They seem pretty evenly matched as far as I
can tell, but 808 State has wisdom while the Warriors counteract with a fierce
brashness that calls to mind their post-acid high school phase.
Or this one, Utah Saints versus Ed Solo and DJ Deekline.
Not much competition there, totally unique but seperate identities. DJ
Deekline was doing well, but isn't that Karen Danzing singing on "Something
I'd still vote for anything that sounds like "Trip to Trumpton" or "Maggie's Last
Party" by VIM though....

The latest version of Google Toolbar integrated Google Notebook, the service that allows you to save interesting parts from a web page for later. Google also started to highlight the fragments from a web page that were previously saved and show your comments in a tooltip.
As you probably know, notebooks are by default private, but you can invite some of your contacts to collaborate. This way you can create a shared list of bookmarks with annotations that allow you find the most important parts of a web page and read your collaborators' opinions. Your annotations are highlighted with a different nuance of yellow so you can distinguish them from those added by your contacts.
For now, you can't export the annotations or subscribe to someone's public annotations, but it's not hard to see these features added in the next iterations of Google Toolbar. Trailfire already lets you find trails, "collections of web pages, assembled and annotated by any Trailfire member". The collections of notes could be used to guide people to the most important parts of a Google search result or they could become a part of a dynamically-built encyclopedia page.
The current implementation from Google Toolbar provides you with a simple way to share clips from web pages with your friends and also add comments.

Pulse Jet Engine Plans, Tutorials & Kits
Pulse Jet Engines, or Pulsejets, are an amazingly simple type of jet engine that almost anyone can build at home with basic tools. They can run while standing still, with no moving parts, on almost anything that burns. No other jet engine comes close to being able to do that. While they may just look like a simple hollow tube, the science behind how they work is pretty complex!
There are few things that are as satisfying as building your own jet engine and firing it up for the first time. That moment when you first fire it up, and the engine starts shooting flames, glowing orange, and drowning out the sound of everything around you is something you'll never forget.
Pulse Jets are the perfect way to get into hobby jet propulsion. They are mechanically simple enough that you can build one with some basic workshop equipment using a set of blueprints, but the physics behind how they work is complicated enough that it could be the focus of an engineering thesis.
Because of this they make for the perfect science project, whether for high school or college, and the skills you'll learn while building your own Pulsejet will help you out in many other areas.
Pulse Jet Engine Plans CD Now Available!
The Pulsejet Plans CD is now available! We've been working on a digital download system for the site that would allow for instant download after purchase, but unfortunately with a very large file size, the best method for the time being is to sell the plans on CD / DVD so that we don't have […]
Essential Tools for Pulsejet Starting
As with most things in life, a little bit of knowledge and the right tools for the job can make things seem infinitely easier. In this case a little bit of reading can save you untold frustration and money. There can be a lot of variables in getting a pulsejet to run for the first […]
The Best "first Pulse Jet Engine"
A question that comes up a lot is what is the best "first pulse jet engine". This depends on a few factors. Some of the engines that are easiest to build, are the most difficult to run. The converse is also true, some of the ones that have the best running characteristics are the most […]

actually I'm having an awesome night
I have respect for Mitrione as what he did took courage. He gave his opinion in as honest and bold as you can be on a matter that most either wouldn't have the guts to say or would try to be as PC as possible.
Brown Pride
I cannot say it enough. F%^& that guy for waiting until he was a man in his mid thirties before he decided he wanted to be a girl and make a living out of beating the s&#@ out of women. That is a seriously disgusting individual in my opinion.
That being said, this is probably the first Jones quote that Ive totally disagreed with.
"He's got big balls. I like that." -Josh Koschek on Frank Trigg's balls.
There is a difference between disagreeing with her right to compete and calling her a horrible human being. If you'd think a little bit, you'd understand that someone who has been through tribulations of that sort has already had enough insults to deal with.
I have stated many times that I do not think Fallon Fox should compete against women, but that doesn't mean she has to be tar and feathered in public.

Hey all, I need some help! Here's a little background: (I promise there is a point to this and a question at the end [;)].)
I have a meeting with my OB on the 16th to discuss trying again sometime after January and, I want to ask her these questions but, would like to get some info from yall first. She will be my primary provider during a future pregnancy but it will be comanaged with a peri. Both her and the peri delivered my son in July. In September, she sent me for a consult with the peri to discuss future pregnancies and to be tested for all of the various possible predispositions. He tested me for everything, except Factor V, and all came back normal. He said that the Factor V test was not necessary. My doctor also referred me to a peri at a large teaching hospital to see if I might be able to get any more info from a 2nd opinion. The 2nd peri reviewed my records and said all looks well, I should have a full-termer next time... (While I appreciate her optimisim, I was a little thrown off by her casualness...) I asked her about the Factor V test, should it be performed? She said no, that all my other test results were fine so, she would not expect that the Factor V test would be any different.
Ok, here's my questions -
1. Should I insist that the Factor V test be performed?
2. Both peris recommended taking 81mg of aspirin each day when pg. However, one recommended that I start taking it immediately upon conception, the other (the one who will be comanaging my care) recommended that I start taking it AFTER the heartbeat has been established. From all I've read, it seems most beneficial to start taking it early but, I wanted to see what everyone else's doctors have done.
Thanks so much for any experience you can share with me.

If Daniel Island leaves Berkeley County, it would not necessarily leave the countys school district, according to an opinion by the states top attorney.
Daniel Island began exploring the option of leaving Berkeley County and joining Charleston County last year after some residents said they wanted to lower their tax bill by leaving Berkeley County School District. Daniel Island is already part of the City of Charleston.
South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilsons office released the Feb. 28 opinion to the Independent and The Gazette on Friday. Berkeley County lawmakers sought his opinion after the issue was first raised last year.
Because a school district represents a separate body politic from a county, we believe the annexation of Daniel Island by Charleston County would not affect school attendance unless changes were made to BCSDs boundaries, South Carolina Assistant Attorney General Brendan McDonald wrote in the opinion.
The same goes for the millage rate enacted on property owners in the school district, according to the opinion.
That would mean that the roughly 5,000 Daniel Island residents annexed into Charleston County would pay the slightly higher county millage rate for government services, and continue paying the Berkeley County School District millage rate what amounts to a tax hike instead of a tax decrease.
We caution, however, that this is a novel issue and plausible legal arguments may be made that Daniel Island could, with annexation, become part of the (Charleston County School District), McDonald wrote.
He continued that there is no precedent case for a county boundary changing and its effect on the school district.
As for residents spurring another grassroots effort to change the school districts boundary, unlike county boundaries, school district boundaries cannot be brought before voters under current law, according to a county official.
The change in school district would have to come from the legislature.
Vocal opponent of the merger and Berkeley County Councils Daniel Island Councilman Tim Callanan said he hopes the attorney generals opinion gives pause to the residents.
This (opinion) certainly will affect a lot of folks perception on the viability of whether its worthwhile pursuing the process, Callanan said.

text: Anyone who has a problem with the casting choice really needs to re-watch (or watch) "no country for old men". Determination in the goal no matter what cost or sacrifice made and he is mostly silent throughout the move. He gives a very real weight to Roland. He also has an accent which is beneficial not a draw back because Roland is -not- from our world. His written language, his speech and everything about him is other worldly determination. Rarely have I ever seen an actor do this better then Barden. This is what they were looking for. Not what we saw in our minds when we read the books but someone who can convey an entire character through mannerism. They can give him make up and contacts and even change his face shape if they need to to get the look but they would loose out greatly if they choose someone based solely on Mr Kings physical description.
