Concert review: New songs take Jason Isbell to higher ground
Jason Isbell made his return to the State Room on Thursday, although in Salt Lake City — which Isbell later credited in a tweet as a "ridiculously underrated rock town" — this barely registers as news. Since leaving his spot in the Drive-By Truckers half a dozen years ago, Isbell has made more visits to the Wasatch Front than an Eastern Conference NBA team.
In June, he performed the Sunday night, sunset show at the Utah Arts Festival, his first Salt Lake performance in support of his new album, "Southeastern." Thursday marked the first time he played those songs, many inspired by his road to sobriety, in a more intimate setting, which is where these types of songs belong. They shouldn't catch a breeze and ride away and disperse. They should bounce off walls, pinging around a room, hitting a listener square in the chest, over and over.
This is going to be a positive review. Like many Isbell loyalists, I have broken up and fallen in love to his songs. "If there's one thing I can't take," he sings in "Codeine," an all-too relatable song from a previous album, "it's the sound a woman makes about five seconds after her heart begins to break."
Isbell unloaded on Thursday's audience. It speaks to his effect on listeners that he was able to open the show with a new song, "Flying Over Water," and that the audience was just as eager for him to dig deeper into the catalogue for a good while before returning to the monumentally popular "Southeastern." The set was wide-ranging, like any other Isbell show, delving into Truckers hits including "Decoration Day," "Outfit" and "Goddamn Lonely Love," as well as songs from his other albums as a solo artist. An encore capping cover of the Rolling Stones' "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" provided the ultimate rock and roll jolt. But what was fresh, and really brought Isbell's act to a better, higher place, was the new stuff.
A Tribune colleague at Thursday's show leaned in to me and said, "This is the best I've ever seen him."
It was his sixth Isbell show in recent years.
The Jason Isbell that is on the road now, in Jackson tonight, Big Sky, Mont., tomorrow and Missoula on Sunday, is a cleaner, sharper one. The best version of himself to date. Credit his newfound sobriety, or his equally talented new wife, the Texas fiddler Amanda Shires, or just the wisdom gleaned from bouncing around the Southern rock scene for nearly 15 years. Probably all of them.
In all, Isbell played nine of the songs from "Southeastern," but none were better than when his tremendous backing band, The 400 Unit, stepped into the shadows, leaving Isbell and his guitar. The autobiographical "Cover Me Up," which details a fall from an 80-mile-per-hour lifestyle to sobriety and passionate love brought the room to a halt.
"But I sobered up," he sings, "and I swore off that stuff forever, this time."
Isbell, who has become an NPR fixture of late, has always been known for his storytelling. "Decoration Day" is the tale of rival families and the blood sport that destroys them both; "Outfit" is a father's humble advice to his son. But the songs from "Southeastern" carry more weight these days, and the sincerity bleeds out of Isbell with every soulful lyric.
At one point, Isbell acknowledged to the crowd that it was nice to have new songs that people actually wanted to hear, and didn't just offer an opportunity for patrons to run to the bathroom.
Three songs into the night, though, Isbell turned to one that may have foreshadowed his mid-career renaissance. From "Go It Alone," a highlight of the studio album that preceded "Southeastern," he sang, "It's realizing just how close you've come to death and rearranging accordingly."

Print media, when rolled tightly often produces a high degree of curl when removed from a roll form. The stiffer the media, the more likely the tendency to curl. On the other hand, print media that is too thin will be too floppy for conventional handling. The print media described is constructed from fine ribs of greater stiffness running along the axis of a roll. These ribs ideally have a pitch of approximately 200 microns and they can be either formed from embedded fibre of greater stiffness or through ridges of greater thickness. The ribs result in material of greater stiffness across the width of the media than along the length and maintain adequate stiffness for handling and viewing of the printed media.
1. A digital camera print roll of print media, the print media having a surface on which an image is to be printed by said digital camera, said print media having anisotropic stiffness which is provided by means of a periodic variation in stiffness of the print media in a direction normal to a rotational axis of the roll, the anisotropic stiffness reducing residual curl in the print media arising as a result of its having been stored in a rolled condition.

The following Australian provisional patent applications are hereby incorporated by cross-reference. For the purposes of location and identification, U.S. patent applications identified by their U.S. patent application Ser. Nos. (U.S. Ser. No.) are listed alongside the Australian applications from which the U.S. patent applications claim the right of priority.
Not applicable.
The present invention relates to an image processing method and apparatus and, in particular, discloses an anisotropic media - ridged/fibre.
The present invention relates to print media and discloses a process of treatment so as to reduce the likelihood of "curling" in print media.
Recently, it has become more and more popular in respect of photographic reproduction techniques to produce longer and longer "panoramic" views of an image. These images can be produced on photographic paper or the like and the structure of the image is normally to have longer and longer lengths in comparison to the width so as to produce the more "panoramic" type views.
Unfortunately, this imposes a problem where the photographic paper to be imaged upon originally was stored on a roll of small diameter.
For example, referring to FIG. 1, the print media upon which an image is to be printed can be stored on a small roll 3 for an indefinite period of time. The storage on the roll 3 can often impart a semi-permanent "curl" to the paper 4. Subsequently, a portion of the roll 3 is unrolled as required and an image 5 is deposited on the media by means of printing and/or photographic imaging. The print media with its image 5 is normally held in place by means of rollers so as to ensure an accurate, flat, plane surface is provided for any imaging device utilising the print media. At a subsequent phase of the processing the print media is normally cut into desired length and stacked in a "sheet" form 6.
However, when the print media is stored for long periods of time in a tightly curled roll, the print media 4 can take on a memory characteristic due to being curled around roller 3 for the extended period of time. Hence, images produced utilizing this process can often include an unwanted curl 7 consequential upon being tightly curled around roll 3. This is generally an undesirable characteristic. Of course, one way to overcome this problem is to increase the circumference of roll 3 and to thereby flatten the circumference of any paper roll around the roll 3. However, increasing the circumference of roll 3 is not desirable should it be required to include the roll 3 in a portable hand held type camera device. The portable nature of such a device requires as small a roll 3 as possible thereby leading to increasing levels of curl.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a form of print media having reduced curl characteristics.
In accordance with the first aspect of the present invention there is provided a print media having a reduced degree of curling in use, said print media having anisotropic stiffness in the direction of said planes.
In accordance with the second aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of reducing the curl in an image printed on print media having an anisotropic stiffness, said method comprising applying a localized pressure to a portion of said print media.
Notwithstanding any other forms which may fall within the scope of the present invention, preferred forms of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings which:
FIG. 1 illustrates schematically a method of creation of images on print media;
FIG. 2 and FIG. 2a illustrate the structure of the print media constructed in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 3 illustrates utilization of the print media constructed in accordance with the preferred embodiment;
FIG. 4 illustrates a first form of construction of print media in accordance with the preferred embodiment;
FIG. 5 illustrates a further form of construction of print media in accordance with the present invention;
FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate schematic cross-sectional views of a further form of construction of print media in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 8 illustrates one form of manufacture of the print media construction in accordance with FIGS. 6 and 7; and
FIG. 9 illustrates an alternative form of manufacture by extruding fibrous material for utilization with the arrangement of FIG. 8.
In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the print media to be stored in a tightly rolled form is processed to have an anisotropic ribbed structune which allows the print media to be suitable for carriage in a roll form but further allows for the anisotropic rib structure to be utilized when viewing images printed on the print media so as to reduce the extent of curling of the print media.
Referring now to FIG. 2, there is illustrated a sheet 10 of print media 11 as treated in accordance with the principles of the present invention. The sheet 10 is preferably constructed of a plastic planar film although other forms of film 11 would be suitable. The sheet 10 is pre-treated to have a polymer rib-like structure 12 shown in FIG. 2 in an exaggerated form with the actual column pitch being approximately 200 μm. Hence, one surface of the sheet 10 is treated so as to have a series of columns e.g. 12 running up and down the length of the sheet 10, the cross-section of the column 12 being illustrated in an enlarged form in FIG. 2a.
The advantage of utilizing the series of columns or ribs 12 is evident when a force 13 is applied to a portion of the surface area of the sheet 10. The column 12, although allowing the sheet 10 to be rolled tightly, resists any rolling of the sheet 10 in the direction 16. Hence, any force applied 13 is likely to be transmitted both in directions 15 and 16. The anisotropic nature of the sheet 10 will result in the rib, 12 acting to provide support both in directions 15 and 16 thereby limiting the curl of sheet 10. The resistance is primarily due to the resistance of ribs 12 from any bending in the direction 16. The anisotropic strength of the material also allows it to be stored on a roll with the greater strength axis being along the central axis of the roll.
Referring now to FIG. 3, the image on sheet 10 can then be viewed, with reduced effects due to curling, by merely holding the sheet 10 in a user's hands 20, 21 and applying subtle pressure at points 24, 25. The application of pressure at points 24, 25 is transmitted throughout the sheet 10 thereby providing a flat viewing surface with limited curling.
Of course, the anisotropic media can be produced utilizing a number of techniques where the media comprises a plastic type material, For example, it could be produced by methods of extrusion. Alternatively, other techniques can be utilized. For example, one form of production 40 is illustrated schematically in FIG. 4 and relies upon the media 41 being pressed between rollers 42, 43. The roller 43 has a flat surface with the roller 42 having a serrated surface 45 as illustrated in FIG. 4a. The dimensions of the serration are exaggerated in FIG. 4 for illustrative purposes.
Where the media is unsuitable for utilization in such a process 40, the anisotropic media can be provided by utilizing two film surfaces joined together. Such a process 50 is illustrated in FIG. 5 wherein a first surface 51 upon which it is desired to print an image is mated with a second surface 52 by means of glue, heat fusion etc. as required.
Furthermore, other forms of manufacture of the print media 11 are possible. For example, referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the construction of print media 60 is shown in cross-section and could be constructed from a first fibrous material 61 which can comprise strong polymer based fibres constructed from annealed polyethylene napthalate drawn into a fibrous form. A second heat flowable polymer 62 which can comprise polyethylene is utilized to provide the "paper" base for the carriage of ink/imaging chemicals. The media polymer 62 can be compressed with the fibrous material 61 while still in a viscous form (for example, after being heated) so that the fibre 61 and print base 62 form one integral unit as illustrated in FIG. 7. The arrangement of FIGS. 6 and 7 can be constructed in accordance with a number of techniques.
Referring now to FIG. 8, there is illustrated a first such technique which utilizes pre-formed spools e.g. 80 of fibrous material, the number of spools and corresponding fibres 81 being equivalent in number to the length of the desired print roll. The spools 80 are ranged such that corresponding fibres 81 are fed over a first roller 82. The fibres 81 are then drawn past a print media application unit 84 which applies the layer of viscous heated print media to the fibres. Subsequently, rollers 85, 86 apply the necessary pressure to the fibres and print media so as to fuse the two together and flatten the surface of the print media so as to form a final anisotropic surface 88. Subsequently, the surface 88 is cut across its width and rolled to form anisotropic print media as hereinbefore described.
Of course, alternative forms of creating the fibrous material on demand are possible. For example, in FIG. 9, there is illustrated one form of creating an extruded fibrous material by means of drawing fibre e.g. 91 from a vat 90, the arrangement of FIG. 9 designed to replace the need for spools 80 of FIG. 8.
It would be obvious to those skilled in the art that other forms of forming the anisotropic surface may be possible, the foregoing describing only a number of embodiments. Further modifications, obvious to those skilled in the art, can be made to the composition and structure of the anisotropic print media without departing from the scope of the invention as disclosed in the following claims.

Vancouver's Save on Meats launched a new program that makes it simple and easy to give to those in need. Available for purchase on line and at the store, the $2.25 Save on Meats Meal Tokens can be redeemed for a nutritious hot Breakfast Sandwich at the Sandwich Window 7am-4pm or in the Diner 7am-10pm.
People can choose to distribute them directly, or purchase the tokens and have Save on Meats give them to one of its dozens of community partners to share amongst their organization. The program acts as a bridge between people who want to give and people who need the support.
"This token program has been a long time coming. It isn't just about being able to provide someone with a nourishing meal, but also the engagement into your community and the power of real human interaction," says Mark Brand, owner of Save on Meats. "This is our city and we want to make it better every day with unconventional solutions."
The $2.25 covers the cost of Save on Meats Breakfast Sandwich, overhead and admin to run the program. By buying into the program, donors become part of a larger social enterprise that supports Vancouver's Downtown Eastside. From facilitating over 450 meals each day to single occupancy residents in the community, to hiring barrier employees and executing food donations, the Save on Meats mandate is to collaborate with community partners and programs to create a sustainable business model that serves the Downtown Eastside.

I'm not referring to your idea, I'm referring to the overall Megaserver idea of Zenimax; this is somethin AoC is also doing to ease the load on the server side, and look what's happened.
I repeat, creating multiple instances in the same gameworld is the perfect recipe to alienate your playerbase and to NEVER create a sense of community. Instead it will feel like a rollercoaster ride YET AGAIN, going through the nice visuals till you burn yourself out and stop playing.
I had high expectations for TESO, but this is one of the things that made me lose faith. Anyway, lets see how the game launches first. At the end of the day, I'm also hoping EQNext will forever change the way MMOs are played.

I understand your idea. They are not doing it based on what you quoted and linked to.

That's fair. In the past it was accepted that MMOs have PvE, PvP and Roleplaying servers. Wouldn't it be cool if they altered the mega server technology so that if we're in the mood for wPvP we could join their game with those rulesets with the same character we PvE with?
We don't know the limitations of the mega-server but it does people in the same server according to peferences. You would also be able to join a server with your friends - so how would switching server to be with friends be different than switching to an instance that allows wPvP?

In PVE you are playing with everyone from around the world, can play with anyone you want and swtich instances if you need to.
In PVP you get assigned to a campaign based on your guild affliations. Think of a campaign as a server. Everyone in that campaign plays against one an another.
That is my understanding of how it works. What your suggecting is limiting the PVE part and mashing the PVP part together...

The mega server is a horse sh*t idea.
Yet another step in the wrong direction for MMos
- No sense of community; faceless ppl that que for this , or instanced for that, giving the player no reason to get to know anyone or act accordingly becuase they will probably never see that group of ppl ever again (same attidiude as youtube comments)
- Guilds willl be so numerouse that no one will care, everyones uncle will have a guild, not like daoc where there was MAYBE 15 good guilds, if that.
- There will be no faction prode because, again, no one will know anyone.
The way mmo's were: Community, Exploration, Character Development, Conquest.
The way mmo's are now : Cut-Scenes,Cut-Scenes, solo Questing, Cut-Scenes...

If I'm not mistaken the mega server automatically puts you with people you would enjoy playing with although I'm not sure how they are going to do that.
You can't limit something by adding other options to do it, that's impossible. The whole private instance is for TES single players who want to sandbox a little. It would be tied to official ESO MMO progress; once you finish a town's quests you could log onto your private server and buy a house.
In time they could add many different sandbox elements to your personal world. It would also be encouraged to invite other players into your instance (you may could give them a house or something). This would help to encourage subscribers as well so you can invite a bunch of people to your instance. There could be guild instances in which you would be playing in PvE with only people from your guild (or a collection of guilds). If no one is on then you would just move to a public server and play.
I'm not trying to mash PvP together but it's not wise to only have 1 choice to PvP. If done correctly they could add in wPvP instances and invite other players in from different factions to be present in the world. It would be like organized world PvP for those who wish to do it. It does not mesh into the Cyrodiil system because that's it's own thing.
This is about adding options to the game, not taking them away.

If we can get the mega server to create instances with different rule-set then we can create our own community. Imagine being part of a huge guild and playing in a world with just other guildies. Up to 2000 people (might have to invite other friendly guilds to join).
Faction Pride is a pretty word. People like to hear it but what it really means is if people are connecting to the game or not. GW2 lacked faction pride because there was no reason for WvW other than servers versus servers. It broke the immersion (and the free transfers didn't help).
I strongly believe that if we give people the choice to play the way they want to play they would connect to the game and make their own communities.

You are limiting those people who want to PVE and PVP. How about people that PVE, PVP, RP, etc. Not everyone plays one way. The majority of people play different ways, usually changing what they do while they play.
As for you PVP comment. Keeping PVP focused to a single area promotes more PVP then if you spread it out. It causes PVP to happen more often. Open world PVP in PVE areas is bad design.
Take a look at various games through the ages. PVP server almost always have lower populations then PVE servers in the long haul. PVP servers do well when the server is first released, and then die as people get to max level.
I have been playing MMO's since UO and EQ.

How am I limited people who want to do both? The normal game is PvE in all areas except Cyrodiil. I'm suggesting that if people want to wPvP then they play the EXACT same game except they can fight with people from other factions. If they want to stop then they would just go back to the PvE server. They can freely switch between these servers on one character.
AvA would be in Cyrodiil but there are some people who like open world PvP and/or battlgrounds. Battlegounds are NOT going to be put in ESO (which is a good thing in some ways) but letting people invade other areas while people are PvE (and wish to also wPvP) would be a great replacement.
That's fine that there is a lower amount of people who want to do these things. That's where the mega server comes into play, it will only create a wPvP instance if there are enough people who want to do it and the previous wPvP instances are full. If no one wants to do it then it won't create these instances.
Why should they make the game for only one type of MMOplayer? I didn't like wPvP but that doesn't mean I'm happy that it was taken away from those who do.

How is this much different than you suggesting that they do different servers like DAoC. Things like co-op, classic, pve, etc. I'm just suggesting that ESO server types include common requests by players such as world PvP.
I would love to take a break from questing, switch to an explorer based instance and just look around with little to none interaction between NPCs. Just me and other players roaming the world going anywhere we please. Why does everything have to revolve around PvP or combat?
Private servers could be great community builders. Your progress is the same if you playing on a private instance or public one. You could invite up to 2000 people to join you on your private instance. As time goes on the developers could make modifiers that mimic popular TES mods. For instance I could set a modifier on my private instance that requires everyone to use first person view - or one that lets them remake their character to any race. Once they go back to the public server then they would be thier original character.
This suggestion doesn't even effect people who don't like it ~ It adds options, it doesn't remove them. Like 2 games in one; ESO MMO and TES multiplayer.
With the mega server there will be no need for Dungeon Finders. "The system can add new players to the world or can merge several worlds into one". You would still need to look for groups but you could go there to find them. I liked GW2 teleport system but part of me misses flight points. It was great to see people in GW2 standing around a dungeon's entrance looking for a group rather than autoport in a dungeon with random people.
I also would like to note that someone's private server would only include their race's provience. Once they go outside their loading screen, they return to the public servers. Private server would be like playing by yourself, allowing you to own houses and to change your world. The trick is to give peak level subscribers a world to invite hundreds of players and then use developer made modifiers to alter the ruleset. All characters would be linked to the official ESO, you can't alter the xp or gold gain on your server (in fact it could be less while playing by yourself to enocourage grouping).

They may be doing something like this. There has to be a way to give everyone what they want... well at least more than just one group of people. If the Mega Server could create different instances like PvE, wPvP and Explorer Mode then they could hit a whole lot of player bases with one swing. Throw in a private instance for subscribers that allows them to own houses, marry, steal and kill (for the single player nuts).
The private server would be linked to your online prgress, once you reach peak level you get your own castle! It has over 20 different rooms you can lend out to friends for when they come over to play. Raids could even be hosted this way as well: Instead of them being public, you have to find someone who has unlocked it in their private server and then join them with up to 40 other people to take down a boss.
Developers could make mods for ESO and offer them to subscribers as content. It would have to be mostly roleplaying stuff as not to alter progression and attribute gains. They could also focus on wPvP as a battleground replacement. The good ol' days of open world PvP with consent was an excellent thing - i would take that over battlegrounds any day.
I added 3 questions dealing with "server" types, developer made mods, and explorer mode. I thought it would be cool to allow people to travel to enemy territories in explorer mode and then let them 'que' for wPvP as invaders. If there is enough people who want to wPvP from that region then it will throw all of you together in a public instance.

While it's refershing to see some actual positive as well as constructive feedback toward an element you dislike. I'm looking at some of these suggestions you're offering (throughout the thread) with jaw to the floor. Some of this stuff is quite a huge undertaking.
While having all of these options available to the player would be great. They would need some serious time and work added to development ( if these are not the directions they're taking), not to mention budget costs. I seriously doubt they have that option.
Maybe some day we'll see all of these things in one MMO (Your suggestions on top of Zen's promoted features).

Would it not be simple to create an instance of ESO and just put one person in it? As time goes on the developers could add modifiers like housing and castles. The content is going to take time but the idea is rather simple.
Same as the world PvP or Explorer mode options ~ Is it not implausable to put in enemy players or passive NPCs?
With these options they could please the mmo'rs, fanatics, explorers, pvp'rs, roleplayers, mod'rs... all without effecting the official game.
Wouldn't it be cool to log on your private instance and have a garden of materials (like the Archmage garden in Skyrim) or a private mine you bought to stock pile materials (like SWG/EVE)?
Wouldn't it be cool to invite traders into your private instance and give them a shop in a town you own? Instead of the auction house, players could just visit differen't shopping districts set up by players and guilds.
Give us the official game but give us a sandbox and build on it as time goes on. The "mod" element is dismissed too quickly, what if the developers made the modifications and gave (sold) them to us. They could still go through with the official plan but hire a small mod team to offer popular roleplaying TES mods. Let the fans vote with their wallet if they want these options ~ if it makes no money then drop it, you still have the official MMO.

text: Bookmarks MercuryPrint-Friendly NavigatorThis article discusses poisoning from mercury.This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or a local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222.There are three different forms of mercury that cause health problems.Elemental mercury, also known as liquid mercury or quicksilver Inorganic mercury salts Organic mercury I Would Like to Learn About:Expand All Collapse All Poisonous Ingredient There are three different forms of mercury that cause health problems.Elemental mercury, also known as liquid mercury or quicksilver Inorganic mercury salts Organic mercury Where Found Elemental mercury can be found in:Glass thermometers Electrical switches Fluorescent light bulbs Dental fillings Some medical equipment Inorganic mercury can found in:Batteries Chemistry labs Some disinfectants Folk culture medicines Red cinnabar mineral Organic mercury can be found in:Older germ-killers (antiseptics) such as red mercurochrome (merbromin) -- this substance is now banned by the FDA Fumes from burning coal converted into organic mercury by certain organisms Fish that have eaten a form of organic mercury called methylmercuryMethylmercuryMethylmercury poisoning is brain and nervous system damage from the chemical methylmercury.Read Article Now Book Mark Article Note: This list may not be all-inclusive. Symptoms ELEMENTAL MERCURYElemental mercury is usually harmless if touched or swallowed. It is so thick and slippery that it usually falls off your skin or out of your stomach without being absorbed.Considerable damage can occur, however, if mercury is made airborne into small droplets and breathed into the lungs. This can often occur by mistake when people try to vacuum up mercury that has spilled onto the ground.Breathing in elemental mercury will cause symptoms right away (acute) if enough mercury is breathed in. Symptoms will also occur over time (chronic) if little amounts are inhaled every day. If this occurs, symptoms may include:Metallic taste Metallic tasteTaste impairment means there is a problem with your sense of taste. Problems range from distorted taste to a complete loss of the sense of taste. A...Read Article Now Book Mark Article Vomiting VomitingNausea is feeling an urge to vomit. It is often called "being sick to your stomach. "Vomiting or throwing-up is forcing the contents of the stomach ...Read Article Now Book Mark Article Difficulty breathing Difficulty breathingBreathing difficulty may involve:Difficult breathingUncomfortable breathingFeeling like you are not getting enough airRead Article Now Book Mark Article Bad cough Swollen, bleeding gumsDepending on how much mercury is inhaled, permanent lung damage and death may occur. You may also have some long-term brain damage from inhaled elemental mercury.INORGANIC MERCURYUnlike elemental mercury, inorganic mercury is usually poisonous when swallowed. Depending on the how much is swallowed, symptoms may include:Burning in the stomach and throat Bloody diarrhea and vomitingIf inorganic mercury enters your bloodstream, it can attack the kidneys and brain. Permanent kidney damage and failure may occur. A large overdose may cause massive blood and fluid loss from diarrhea and kidney failure, leading to death.ORGANIC MERCURYOrganic mercury can cause sickness if breathed in, eaten, or placed on the skin for long periods of time. Usually organic mercury causes problems over years or decades, not immediately. In other words, being exposed to small amounts of organic mercury every day for years will likely cause symptoms to appear later. Regardless, a single large exposure can also cause problems.Long-term exposure will likely cause neurological symptoms, including: Numbness or pain in certain parts of your skin Uncontrollable shaking or tremor Inability to walk well Blindness and double vision Memory problems Seizures and death (with large exposures) Medical evidence suggests that being exposed to large amounts of the organic mercury called methylmercury while pregnant can permanently damage the baby's developing brain. Most doctors will recommend eating less fish, especially swordfish, while pregnant. These recommendations are made to be extremely cautious. Small exposures are unlikely to cause any problems. Women should talk to their doctor about what they should and should not eat while pregnant. Before Calling Emergency Determine the following information:Patient's age, weight, and condition (for example, is the person awake or alert?) Name of the product (ingredients and strengths, if known) Time it was swallowed, inhaled, or touched Amount swallowed, inhaled, or touchedHowever, DO NOT delay calling for help if this information is not immediately available. Poison Control What to Expect at the Emergency Room In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.This is a free and confidential service. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.See: Poison control center - emergency numberPoison control center - emergency numberFor a POISON EMERGENCY call:1-800-222-1222ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATESThis national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning.

The patient may receive:Humidified oxygen or air Breathing tube into the lungs Suctioning of mercury out of the lungs Medication to remove mercury and heavy metals from the bodyINORGANIC MERCURYFor inorganic mercury poisoning, treatment usually begins with supportive care. The patient may receive:Fluids by IV (into a vein) Medicines to treat symptoms Activated charcoal, a medicine that soaks up many substances from the stomach Medicines called chelators to remove mercury from the bloodORGANIC MERCURYTreatment of organic mercury usually consists of medicines called chelators to remove mercury from the blood and away from the brain and kidneys. Often, these medications will have to be used for weeks to months. Outlook (Prognosis) Breathing in a small amount of elemental mercury will cause very few, if any, long-term side effects. However, larger amounts will lead to a long hospital stay. Permanent lung damage is likely. There may be some brain damage. Very large exposures will likely cause death.A large overdose of inorganic mercury may cause massive blood and fluid loss, kidney failure, and likely death.Chronic brain damage from organic mercury is difficult to treat. Although some people never recover, some success has been seen in patients treated with chelation.Related Information Open ReferencesReferencesYoung-Jin S. Mercury.

University of New Mexico men's soccer player Mike Graczyk was named to CollegeSoccerNews.com's Preseason All-American second team today. Graczyk, a senior goalkeeper from Albuquerque, N.M., is a two-time All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation selection, earning first team honors last season. This is the third consecutive season a Lobo has garnered preseason attention. Jeff Rowland (2005) and Andrew Boyens (2006) were both preseason All-American selections prior to their senior years.
Graczyk posted a 0.639 goals-against-average last season, ranking 15th in the nation. He also logged 11 shutouts, playing every minute in goal for New Mexico. He has 24 career shutouts and needs one more to tie Andrew Weber (2001-04) for the school record. Graczyk's 0.64 g.a.a. is currently the lowest in school history.
Coming off their third consecutive MPSF title, the Lobos are ranked No. 10 in the preseason. New Mexico begins practice on Monday, Aug. 13, at 7:30 a.m. on the Robertson practice field. UNM begins play on Aug. 23 against No. 11 Notre Dame in an exhibition match in Fort Wayne, Ind. The regular season kicks off on Aug. 31 at Akron and the home opener is set for Sept. 7 against Loyola Marymount.

PARSIPPANY, N.J., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Daiichi Sankyo, Inc., announced today that Under Pressure(TM), its national hypertension disease management program developed in accordance with JNC-7 guidelines, has received Disease Management Program Design Certification from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), a private, not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality. NCQA certification signifies that the Under Pressure program has passed a rigorous review and successfully meets objective, evidence-based, high standards of health care quality.
"In addition to offering highly effective treatments in cardiovascular care, we are committed to ensuring that consumers have access to high quality, practical tools to help them take the best possible care of their hearts and bodies," said Kevin McDermott, Vice President, Managed Markets, Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. "The Daiichi Sankyo Managed Markets team is honored to represent this widely recognized symbol of quality from the NCQA for our Under Pressure program."
With a focus on improving quality of care, the Under Pressure initiative was launched in 2006 to foster partnerships between leading managed care organizations and the healthcare providers in charge of patient care. The patient is encouraged to be more actively involved in the management of their cardiovascular health by emphasizing the key elements necessary to live with hypertension including diet, exercise and medication. Health plans drive the initiative by inviting appropriate plan members to participate in the campaign. Once patients opt-in, they receive regular educational mailings including an innovative DVD, and are directed to a program Web site featuring articles, which reinforce the educational mailings. Earlier this year, Daiichi Sankyo announced a culturally competent version of the Under Pressure initiative designed for African-Americans wit

I agree with scubadudenj...if the trees are NOW the homeowner's responsibility, they should be within their rights to have them removed completely. Does Mountainside also refuse to pick up leaves in the town? How would they know which leaves are the town's and which are the resident's? Ridiculous!

Queen Annes Lace Queen Annes Lace, also called Wild Carrot, is a common plant in dry fields, ditches, and open areas. It was introduced from Europe, and the carrots that we eat today were once cultivated from this plant. Queen Annes Lace grows up to four feet tall. Its leaves are two to eight inches long and fern-like. This plant is best known for its flowers, which are tiny and white, blooming in lacy, flat-topped clusters. Each little flower has a dark, purplish center. The fruits of Queen Annes Lace are spiky, and they curl inward to build a birds nest shape. This plant blooms from May to October. It is a biennial plant, which means it lives for two years. It will spend the first year growing bigger, and then bloom the second year. ...
I have come a long way from the days of a Kodak Duraflex camera, with a large, side-attached flash hood with non-reusable bulbs to what amounts to tons of photos today .... I feel I am finally ready to share my ecclectic, and often, non-traditional view of art through my lenses. My images can be traditional, and at other times seem, modern, dark, and edgy. I have chosen not to limit what I take photos of. I have allowed my mood, my interest, and my passion to drive my camera lenses in capturing abstract images, nature, still photography or landscapes. Having lived my entire life in Central Wisconsin, I have spent and will continue to spend a lot of time photographing the multidimensional, seasonally-driven state. And hopefully, ...

Comments about 18-20 in. Gas Chain Saw Carry Case:
This is made out of hard plastic and is very sturdy. I have had chain saws in the past but they never came supplied with a case. This is the perfect case to safely store or transport a chain saw.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

The Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation reported a return of .02 percent for the fiscal year. The total value of the fund is sitting at $40.3 billion.
"It was a volatile year for the global stock markets, particularly overseas markets," said Michael Burns, CEO, in a press release. "Stocks make up about half of the Fund's investments, so they had the largest impact on our performance. "
The Fund's U.S. stock portfolio returned 2.3 percent. The non-U.S. portfolio returned -14.6 percent while the global portfolio returned -4.7 percent according to the press release.
The Permanent Fund earned $1.6 billion in statutory net income. This income comes from real estate properties, dividends from stocks, interest on bonds and the sale of assets.
The Permanent Fund Dividend is calculated by averaging five years of the statutory net income.
This year, $605 million will be transferred for the fall dividend payment. Last year, the APFC transferred $801 million to the Permanent Fund Dividend Division for the fall payment.

It took me an hour & a half to make this costume and I spent $15 to buy the craft foam. All the other stuff I scavenged from around the house.
If you want to see more Doggie DIY goodness, please visit my blog.
Step 1: Tools & Supplies
You can do all the sewing by hand, if you wish, but it will take a looong time to make the costume.
Step 2: Making The Ice Cream Scoops
Step 2 - Sew a red pom-pom "cherry" onto the middle of the fabric.
Step 3 - Turn the fabric over and add a handful of the fiber stuffing
Step 4 - Take two opposite corners and tie them together.
Step 5 - Tie the other two corners together. Now you have your first ice cream scoop.
Repeat the process for to make the other ice cream scoops.

Roswell police tell KOB they are investigating an interrupted burglary that resulted in one man being fatally shot Tuesday.
That man was Saul Gavaldon Sanchez, a golf pro who grew up in Roswell and was recently living with his family in Denver, City Texas.
The call came in at 2 p.m. Tuesday in the 1500 block of West Third.
Police say Sanchez had been in Roswell to attend a funeral. He walked into the house where he was staying and found a man inside the residence attempting to steal various items.
When Sanchez confronted the man, the man shot and killed him.
The suspect is described as a male about six feet tall - police say he concealed his identity with a face mask and hoodie.
Roswell police say citizens should be informed and aware of their surroundings in the wake of this crime.
The department also said residents should rely on the police - not social media such as Facebook - for information on the crime.
In a news release, the department said: "Certain information posted on social media could be detrimental to the case."
Police ask anyone with information about the crime to contact the Roswell Police Department at 575-624-6770, or Crime Stoppers at 1-888-594-8477.
Crime Stoppers will pay a $1,000 reward to anyone who has information leading to an arrest.

Great Tent / Bad Mesh Insert
I recently purchased the North Face Docking Tent with the 4 and 2 person docks and the mesh insert. Up to the point I inserted the mesh insert this was an excellent tent. However, once the mesh was inserted this tent became just an average tent. I think the mesh design significantly reduces the overall interior space and the floor could have been better aligned next the side walls. I think North Face could have better designed the tent if they would have separated out the mesh insert into a traditional floor insert and used a traditional mesh door cover. The bathtub floor could have used zippers attached to the interior side walls. With a little modification by NF this tent could have been awesome meeting the needs of two different groups - one that wants a covered space for recreational use and does not mind no floor covering and the other group that wants more of a traditional tent with floor and mesh walls. If you are not interested in the mesh insert, I would give this tent a 5 however, if the mesh insert is important to you, it gets a 3.
Good review, thanks. Did you post this on North Face? They should know that it needs a redesign.
Also, it was hard to tell from the photos, but is there any access to the sleeping docks from the outside or is it a one-door cabin at this point?
After field testing this product, I am now significantly downgrading my rating. The mesh insert was even worse than anticipated. As indicated earlier the mesh insert does not connect into the tent by anything other than hooks. This results in a significant gap between the mesh insert and the outer walls and the mesh insert to the sleeping areas. As a result you end up with bugs in the tent, the ground exposed between the main tent and the sleeping area, and if there is heavy rain with some wind you will get water in the tent. Again if you have no interest in the mesh insert, I think it can be a good product. If you plan on using the mesh insert and want an open feel between the sleeping area and the main tent then I would now rate the tent with a 1 star.
Matt Novak
You can only access the sleeping docks from the main Docking Station. It acts as a four door hub or sorts.

Rockville Martial Arts & Learning Center
The manager/owner of the school does not know martial arts. I don't mean that he studied martial arts and is no good. I mean, he never studied martial arts. Period.
There was one good instructor, (http://www.siramainternational.org) but he left after he got his green card. All his black belt students left with him.
There was an attempt to inject quality into the school by a nearby good school (http://www.worldclassicmartialarts.com). The grandmaster (who is an excellent instructor and runs a great school himself) unfortunately sent a young student of his to be the master of the school. The kid was great technically, but poo - absolute poo - as a teacher.
A great place for babysitting your kids after school. Nice mats. No pillars in the middle of the dojo.
Full contact sparring (with pads). Great place to learn how to get beaten up.

LSU is an equal
LSU Today Flagship Faculty
What was your previous position and where?I was a part-time assistant professor-research in the Institute for Environmental Studies, now the Department of Environmental Sciences.
What brought you to LSU?I first came to LSU as a master's student in library science. After working for a few years as librarian, I returned to LSU as a Ph.D. student in the geology and geophysics department.
What are your research interests?One of my research interests is geomicrobiology, the study of the interaction of microorganisms with soils, sediments, rocks and minerals. My work focuses on some of the oldest rocks on Earth; I am interested in learning about life and environments that existed on our planet more than three billion years ago. Such information can help us develop strategies for searching for evidence of life on other planets.
I am also interested in the challenges involved in the communication of environmental issues to a variety of audiences. I am responsible for communicating the research findings of the LSU Superfund Research Program to environmental professionals, government agencies, health professionals and the general public. I have been involved for the past 16 years in professional development workshops for teachers that are aimed at increasing teacher content knowledge and confidence in teaching science.
What do you hope to accomplish at LSU?I want my students to graduate from LSU well-prepared to face the challenges that they will face in their own lives and in their communities, equipped with content knowledge, problem-solving skills and a sense of social responsibility.
What do you enjoy most about LSU?I enjoy the people at LSU more than anything else. Interacting with students is both rewarding and energizing, and working with our dedicated faculty and staff is very gratifying.
What are your major accomplishments?I am proud to have contributed to improvements in the environmental management systems curriculum. The three core classes that I teach are service-learning classes in which we have teamed with such partners as the East Baton Rouge Recycling Office and the LSU Sustainability program. The classes are also certified as communication-intensive courses by the LSU Communication across the Curriculum program.
An ongoing effort of mine, the success of which is difficult to measure immediately, is encouraging young women who are interested in science to pursue scientific careers. I present at events such as the Sally Ride Science Festival, am a lecturer for the Association for Women Geoscientists, and often serve as a mentor for young women conducting research at the high school and university level. I am very proud of my first Ph.D. student, Lashunda Anderson, who is now an assistant professor at Alcorn State University.
