2 cups
all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
1/4 teaspoon
ground nutmeg
1/2 cup
3/4 cup
white sugar
1/2 cup
sour cream
My daughter is allergic to egg. We have a crisp, shortbread-like sugar cookie recipe that is egg-free, and this recipe gives us a tender sugar cookie recipe too. You can change this up by skipping the nutmeg and subbing a tsp. of vanilla, or by putting a little fresh lemon zest in. I looked at the other reviews, and altered the recipe with 2 Tbsp. more of sugar and about 3 Tbsp. more sour cream. The dough is delicious, the cookies are tender. Rolled them out to 1/4 inch thickness, as 1/2 inch seemed way too thick. Baked about 10 minutes, then cooled on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to the cooling rack.
I found this recipe to be quite a disapointment. The cooking instructions were inaccurate and the bare taste was blande, and not sweet enough. I would not recommend ANYONE to try this recipe!

very bland and hard
These cookies are definetly not the "Best Ever Sugar Cookies". However, with a few minor adjustments, they can be quite yummy! Instead of Sour Cream , we used vanilla yogurt. We used less flour, and more sugar, and added icing decorations on top of them. These simple substitutions made these cookies more enjoyable then the original recipe. - D&H
I liked this recipe because it was easy to make and also very tasty too! I can tell you kids do like it for I am only 12 years (gr.7) old my self. I know that some kids say they like it when they realy don't. That is why I gave this recipe five stars!
If you were wondering how I found this website it is because in famlay studys I am doing a cook book. I was looking for recipes on the internet!
Hope to see you soon! Your friend
I thought this was a great recipe! Although, I have to admit, I did some tweeking after reading the other reviews. I added an additional 1/8 -1/4 cup of sugar along with a teaspoon or so of vanilla extract to the dough. The end result were, honest to God, the Best Ever Sugar Cookies! Even my husband, who doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, loved them! They're great plain or with frosting. maybe next time I'll roll balls of dough into a cinnamon and sugar mixture for a variation on the Snickerdoodle.
I made these today for Christmas cookie cutouts. I used very small cutters and they worked great! AND very tasty. I haven't had very good luck with cutouts in the past in the flavor department. These are wonderful! I used powdered sugar instead of flour for rolling them out.

Did you know you can create and email consolidated reports from EDI/HQ? The first step in creating a great report is by determining what data you are receiving and how it needs to be organized. One of the popular consolidated reports is based off the 820, the Payment Order/ Remit Advice map. Using this inbound document EDI/HQ can create a report that consolidates the information into a single report. The report will show grand totals for each company that sent in an 820, instead of hundreds/thousands of payment detail lines, from all customers.
Effective 7/26/2011, Nordstrom will be enhancing the EDI 820 to send, when available, additional information on adjustments in a new REF*PO segment. When this information is available, an additional REF with PO qualifier will be sent in the ADX loop: ADX Adjustment REF ZZ - Adjustment description REF PO – PO/Remit Message - NEW! DTM 097 – Date adjustment was taken

MAC 275 Medium Angled Shading Brush Photos & Review
Beauty Basics: MAC Eye Brushes
Beauty Basics is a series covering basic products and tools that help to make applying your makeup easier. To view the entire series to date, be sure to visit the beauty basics, or you can view posts within the series about MAC Eye Brushes.
Focus On: MAC 275 Medium Angled Shading Brush
MAC 275 Medium Angled Shading Brush ($24.50) is medium-sized angled brush with lots of fluffiness. I like this brush for applying concealer around the nose and eyes, and actually do find it can be used to contour small areas like the nose, too. I don't contour my nose often, if ever, because I guess I'm fairly satisfied with its appearance (it's a nose — it's like the foot of the face to me, it's just there and eh!), but it works better than the 168, which is far too large for the nose area. This also works well to apply highlighter above the cupid's bow of your lips – just one swipe and voila!
How do you like to use this brush?

We found this very important message in the East Village regarding dangerous robots.
Robots will kill.
You've been warned.
While it looks inane…
It COULD very well be a living robot hiding in plain sight! We see a head, a mouth, a nose, two eyes, hair, and a hat of some type in there. Do you?
Be careful out there.
We've stumbled across TWO MORE robots in the Gowanus section of Brooklyn of what is likely an invading robot army. The first appears to be an adult robot, and the second one appears to be a smaller robot who is likely an adolescent in age.
H.U.A.R. get into action before it's too late!!!
Last month, we spotted a lovable robot on a door inside of the Church Avenue F/G subway station. Now we've come across same said robot on the plywood wall of a construction site in the Gowanus.
Robots get around, and he's showing off. Perhaps it's time for humans to unite against the impending robot invasion…
Last week, while we waited on the temporary middle platform at 4th Avenue and 9th Street for a Coney Island bound F train, we watched the destruction of the southbound local's old track bed. We were impressed by the destruction, because it was taking only two men to jack-hammer several hundred feet of track bed — and they were doing it with ease. Here was their M.O. — one stood on the platform and watched, while the other did the jack-hammering by way of a robot!
We decided to name the robot "Robbie the Robot" and it has four legs, one jack-hammer, walked like a centipede, and was operated by top of the line mid-1980s VCR remote control technology — a remote control that had a long hardwire connected to the machine. WAY COOL!
Now, let's just hope that Robbie the Robot doesn't turn on us and break free. We don't need any Planet of the Robots type of future.

Rev3 Old Orchard Beach Maine is this weekend and I am both excited and nervous. I am typically not nervous before races but for some reason this race has me on edge. That is a good thing because it means that I am ready but it is also an indication of me just now knowing what I am heading into and I think that is the worst part of this entire situation.
This is my first race with Rev3 and there is excitement about that but also nerves because I don't know what to expect. At an Ironman race I know what to expect as I have done 3 70.3 races and 1 140.6, so it is sort of old hat at this point. That being said I really don't know what to expect out of myself for this weekend other than I am going to have a freaking blast doing it. Why? Well because I will be hanging it out with this couple (here and here) and this awesome chick (here) and white water rafting with smiley (here) after the race on Monday.
Yup, the race is going to happen and I'm going to give it my best but in the end my focus is on Ironman Arizona but in the end I will get to hang out with a ton of great people and experience Rev3.
Today I swam in my full sleeve wetsuit and on Monday I swam in my sleeveless. The sleeveless was far more comfortable but the sleeveless proved to be faster so I am going to be swimming in my full sleeve. Today's swim saw me swim 1.1 miles in 34:50 and I never felt like I was pushing it. If I can maintain that pace and not feel as if I am winded getting out of the water (other than struggling with getting the wetsuit off that is) I think that I can be done with the swim in the 38 minute range. Oh wait, this is an ocean swim and this is another factor in me being nervous. We don't have oceans in the middle of North Dallas so the lakes are typically calm. Either way I cannot control the water and just have to remember Coach's words: The race starts on the bike.
Goal: 37:00 – 39:00
My bike fitness is better than it has ever been. I have been feeling very strong on the bike and that has been with my stock wheels and not with my race wheels. The unknown here is whether or not the climbing will have an impact on me. There are not a lot of 'hills' here in Dallas but Coach has been putting me through the ringer in terms of intervals and hill climbing this training cycle so I feel as if I can be efficient and conserve enough energy going up them to be able to push on the flats and the downhills. The biggest goal here is to be ready to run off the bike so maintaining a HR of 140 bpm is going to be imperative.
Goal: 2:50 – 3:00
Here is where I think my fitness has taken off. I have been running fast paces at a comparatively low heart rate, and this has been in the heat of Texas. The cooler weather of Maine should treat me very well and that is exciting for me. If I can remember to not shoot out of T2 like a bat out of hell and control myself for the first two miles then this run could turn into one of my best. I have been doing a lot of interval work and posting sub-7:00 mile paces on sets that have been up to 10×800. My tempo run last week was right around 7:00/mi and was held steady for 20 minutes. The hill work has also helped and so I feel like this could be a run that competes with my time at 70.3 California.
Goal: 1:50 – 1:53
My nerves will have to be converted into energy by race day. I think that once I get off the plane in Maine and settle in my nerves will calm down and I will be ready to race. Having the humor of Matt, Heather and Jen around me will certainly help as well.
When you add up all these times and add in 6 minutes for transitions we are looking at goal times of: 5:23 to 5:38
Thank you for reading!

I noticed a number of threads in the Power Girl forum were touching on the topic of DC possibly introducing a new origin for her that streamline's her concept from the "Supergirl of a different universe" thing. I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to consolidate that discussion into one thread.
This has actually been attempted before, and for a while she was not Kryptonian at all but instead magic-based. It did not stick. In continuity, there have been (by my count) three different origins for PG:
- Earth-2 Supergirl and cousin to Superman
- Descendant of the Atlantean wizard Arion
- Clone of Supergirl (DC animated, named " Galatea," similar backstory to the new "Divine")
- Totally unchanged (survived all of Flashpoint and into nDCU unchanged)
- Alt. universe Supergirl, cousin of Superman
- Kryptonian, relative to Superman
- Kryptonian, unrelated to Superman
- Atlantean origin
- Magic origins (non-Atlantean)
- Clone of superman/supergirl
- Standalone character (powered)
- Standalone character (non-powered)
- Other
Just as a general reference, here are some "power origins" listed on the vine: human, alien, animal, mutant, cyborg, robot, radiation, god/eternal, other (usually demon or other magical being).
Personally, I'd like them to go with the galatea/divine/superboy origin where she was created as an experiment/weapon and gets placed on the UN-run JLI.

Red Carpet Recap: Elizabeth Taylor BVLGARI Jewelry Launch

Elizabeth Taylor BVLGARI Jewelry Launch
4 of 24
Clearly black was the color of the night, with Kirsten Dunst looking elegant in a one-shoulder Chloe gown, with pearl embellishment at the shoulder. The stylish star went understated with the bling, with a diamond ring and studs by BVLGARI studs. But the house's jeweled clutch was enough of a statement piece to glam up her look.

Yosemite at Night
Yosemite at Night, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
On a balmy autumn night in early November I treated myself to a good dinner at the Yosemite Lodge restaurant. Then I headed out into the Yosemite Valley night with my camera, tripod, and intervalometer.
This image was made from the Swinging Bridge, facing back towards Yosemite Falls and Yosemite Village. I combined different exposures for the foreground and for the stars. Yosemite Valley was lit by moonlight, which helped make the foreground exposures possible.
The landscape in the foreground was made from an HDR blend of three exposures, shot at roughly one minute, two minutes, and eight minutes. The star trails in the sky were created from 21 exposures shot at one minute, and then stacked. I combined foreground and background in Photoshop using a layer mask and the Gradient Tool.
All exposures were at 15mm, f/4 and ISO 320.
It's striking to me that the moonlit landscape in the foreground has as great a dynamic range as daylight shots. Looking at the eight minute exposure, bright areas like the cliffs and meadows that the moon lit touches are bright. But the shadows below the trees along the Merced River are still deep and inky in their blackness.
Sunset from Lembert Dome
Sunset from Lembert Dome, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
Lembert Dome lies in the upper reaches of Yosemite National Park, California, at the eastern edge of the Tuolumne Meadows. As I trudged up the trail to the top of the dome I wondered how I could capture both the wonderful glowing light of sunset and the more subtle gradations of darkness among the trees.
HDR was the answer! Using simple HDR techniques I was able to create an image fairly dripping in color and contrast, from the details in the tree roots at the bottom to the vibrant sunset colors in the clouds.
One thing that is not always understood about HDR is that it is not just about extending tonal range. The best HDR imagery also shows more texture, details, and contours than one could achieve using conventional photography.
Seven exposures, each exposure using 10.5mm digital fisheye at f/2.8 and ISO 400, exposure times between 1/800 of a second and 1/60 of a second, tripod mounted; exposures combined in Photoshop using the Nik Merge to Efex Pro plugin and hand-layering.
Star Trails over Half Dome
Star Trails over Half Dome, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
Leaving Berkeley in mid-afternoon, I grabbed a quick bite in Mariposa and made it up to Glacier Point just after sunset. There was still some light to see what I was doing. I took advantage of the last light to establish my tripod and make some shots I could use to layer in foreground detail.
The night was balmy, and a surprising number of people showed up on Glacier Point to watch the night sky like a movie. One family even brought popcorn. As it grew darker, I switched from manual exposure control to my programmable intervalometer (a fancy word for a timer).
By about midnight, the crowds had gone home and I was the last one left to witness the immensities of Yosemite Valley and the night sky. Besides the stars and Milky Way I saw satellites and a surprising number of planes on a flight path across Yosemite Valley. I also witnessed several dramatic shooting stars—including the one captured in the frame below.
Using my 10.5mm digital fisheye, to capture these star trails I made 39 exposures, with each exposure open for a shutter speed of four minutes at f/2.8 and ISO 320. My total exposure time was thusly about 2 hours and 40 minutes. I combined the exposures in Photoshop using the Statistics script and a smart-object layer stack with the method set to Maximum.
When I thought I'd captured enough, I crawled into my van in the parking lot, and grabbed a few hours sleep—ready to photograph at sunrise in a few hours.

Yosemite Falls Rainbow
Yosemite Falls Rainbow, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
Walking over to Yosemite Falls in the morning there was darkness and light. I was ready when the rainbow came out. I had my polarizer already on. I used a fast shutter speed and underexposed to emphasize the chiaroscuro effect.
The funny thing is that post-processing echoed conditions of this shoot. I layered in multiple RAW versions by the chiaroscuro light of my headlamp as the kids slept. I suppose I really should profile the combination of an LED headlamp and my laptop!
Reflections from Stoneman Bridge
Reflections from Stoneman Bridge, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
I pulled this image from my archives: a semi-abstract of reflections in the Merced River in Yosemite Valley. Yosemite is a great place for reflections, both metaphysical and literal; see Winter Reflections, Tone Poem: Yosemite Afternoon, Yosemite Morning, El Capitan Reflections, Yosemite Dreams, Dawn Reflections, Mirror Lake, and the Yosemite category on my blog.
Yosemite View
Yosemite View, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
This photo appears in Creative Black & White: Digital Photography Tips & Techniques on pages 118-119. Here's what I wrote about the image:
Photographing during a clearing winter storm in Yosemite, I worked hard to find a slightly different angle to frame the marvelous vista that opened before me. It was hard to see this view without thinking of the sumptuous Ansel Adams photography of Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada mountains, so naturally I wanted to create a photo that could be successfully converted to black and white.
To achieve this goal, I knew that I would need to have a sense of crispness across the entire image. This meant that I would need maximum depth-of-field. So I stopped my camera all the way down to f/22 and used a wide angle setting to achieve as much depth-of-field as possible.
Here's the exposure data: 20mm, 1/40 of a second at f/22 and ISO 100, tripod mounted.
Speaking of Creative Black & White, the book has been a hit almost since the day of publication. It's the #1 digital photography book on Amazon right now (see the screen capture below).
A very special thanks to everyone who has reviewed my book on Amazon. I particularly appreciate Jack Tasoff's very flattering review "Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, and Edward Weston Made Digital" and Constance Halporn's comment that "this book clearly and concisely shows the reader how to make excellent B&W images in the digital world. This has been a real revelation to me, as I didn't think I would ever get the quality of B&W from my digital files. A must-have text for the serious photographer."
Snow in the Forest
Snow in the Forest, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
Briefly noted: On a recent trip to Yosemite, snow was falling at the foot of the John Muir Trail heading up towards Vernal Falls. A short way up the trail, the snow ebbed and the sun started emerging—letting me snap this image of snow in the forest in mixed light.
Come Back to the Valley
Come Back to the Valley, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
It's spring here in Berkeley, but winter still clings to the mountains. On a recent trip to Yosemite, coinciding with spring break, I took Julian and Nicky to Yosemite. We hiked up to Vernal Falls in a snow storm, and I shot this view carefully from the Vernal Falls bridge using a tripod. The scene was essentially monochromatic, with the sun just started to appear. When I processed the image, after converting to black and white, I added a very slight sepia tint.
It's always great to visit Yosemite Valley—at any time of year.
Cathedral Spires and Bridalveil Falls, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
This is a view of Bridalveil Falls and Cathedral Spires in Yosemite Valley processed to simulate a pinhole camera: vignetting at the edges, softness, brightness in the center, high depth-of-field, and an overall antique look.
Digital simulations of "looks" from the back pages of classic analog photography are great fun!
Split Toning in a Winter Vista
Winter Vista, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
To enhance this monochromatic winter vista of Yosemite, I used a split toning effect. I added a deeper sepia tone to the darker tones, and lighter sepia to the brighter areas of the image.
In the analog darkroom, toning was a function of paper, processing and chemistry. Split toning was achieved by altering the process so that highlights were handled differently from the dark areas of the photo; for example, by stopping a chemical bath at an earlier point than normal.
In the Photoshop darkroom toning and split toning are, of course, virtual—like the entire digital monochromatic process. Digital black and white is an aesthetic intention with soul, a willful abnegation of color, and an intentional and anachronistic reference to the historical craft of photography.
You can learn more about toning and split toning techniques in Photoshop in Creative Black & White: Digital Photography Tips & Technques.
Sharpening with LAB Color
Ice Storm in Yosemite, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
This is a photograph of an ice storm in Yosemite Valley. The lines in the ice on the trees could easily have looked "yucky" when they were sharpened. We've all seen oversharpened photos. Yucky. Now there's a technical term for you!
Fortunately, there is a better way than conventional sharpening tools. I use the image of the Yosemite ice storm to demonstrate the sweetness of selective sharpening with LAB color for compositional purposes in my latest Photo.net column about creativity in the Photoshop darkroom.
Here's the full description: This tutorial has nothing to do with turning blurry or shaky hand-held images into tack sharp masterpieces. Rather, the point of the article is to teach you how to sharpen selectively or compositionally using LAB color. This can be done to direct the viewer to certain parts of the image. Harold Davis walks you through how to convert to LAB color, and then how to apply a series of sharpen masks and layers to selectively and artistically sharpen your images.
Check out Sharpening in LAB Color, and then try your hand at sharpening your own images with this way cool technique.
Winter Reflections
Winter Reflections, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
I converted this image of winter reflections in Yosemite Valley to black and white using one of the simplest conversion techniques from a RAW original. The Grayscale Mix on the HSL/Grayscale tab of Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) does it all in only a few clicks, and provides a fair amount of control over the conversion. You can get good results this way quite quickly.
Having It Both Ways
Yosemite, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.
In my previous post I showed a photo taken a few years ago of Yosemite Valley—and noted that the work of a digital photography is never definitively done. It's tempting, and often but not always an improvement, to rework the post-processing of older images; or to process images bypassed in the first edit.
You also don't need to make an either-or choice between color and black & white. This image shown in this story was re-purposed into monochrome from the color photo in the last story. I created the dramatic black-and-white sky using a high contrast Red filter b&w adjustment layer in Photoshop, in case you are interested.
There's some disagreement over on Flickr as to whether the black & white or color version is preferred (see the linked comments). I say, why not have both? A "two-fer"…

Love may mean never having to say sorry—but digital means you're never definitively done. This is a re-work of a RAW file originally shot in 2007 of Yosemite Valley in late February following a dusting with snow.

As of Friday, December 13, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY — Mediacom Communications announced Thursday its full conversion to "all-digital" channel reception for the cable television lineup it delivers to customers in a seven-county area of southwest Georgia that includes Albany, Americus and surrounding communities.
In recent months, area customers received more than 36,000 digital adapters to prepare for a digital conversion that removed the analog component of Mediacom's dual-signal simulcast. The change results in the entire channel lineup using digital technology in an encrypted format for delivery of secure and enhanced television reception.
By eliminating analog reception that officials describe as "an outdated and inefficient technology," Mediacom is expanding its channel lineup with 48 new channels to be added to the lineup prior to Christmas. The company also plans to double the speeds of its fastest broadband Internet service.
The upgrade will impact customers in Dougherty, Lee Randolph, Schley, Sumter, Terrell and Worth counties.
Phil Skinner, Mediacom's area operations director, explained that the upgrade to the company's fiber-communications network includes enhanced technology to offer cable-modem Internet service with download speeds of 105 Mbps and upload speeds of 10 Mbps. The higher-level speed of Mediacom's Ultra 105 Internet service will be available next month.
"We're grateful to customers for their patience and cooperation during this upgrade. We know it's been a significant change for most of our subscribers, and we're pleased that the benefits of an expanded channel selection will quickly be apparent," Skinner said.
New channels to be added over the next 10 days include the high-definition (HD) version of 17 channels to expand viewing choices for consumers equipped with HDTV. E! (Entertainment TV) is arriving in both HD and standard definition (SD) formats at channels 867 (HD) and 56 (SD). Oxygen will be added to Family Cable service at channel 55.
A set of 27 Spanish-language channels will be added as an optional subscription tier. The Canales Latinos channel set features Spanish versions of popular cable networks that televise sports, news and informational programming, including ESPN & Fox Deportes, EWTN en Espanol, History Channel en Espanol, and others.
The company says the added channels will be added to the Mediacom lineup by Dec. 23.
"The response to our all-digital upgrade has been incredibly positive, and it's because consumers understand that they gain much more in the digital world than is otherwise possible," Skinner said. "It's a notable milestone to now deliver more than 100 HD channels, and to improve the television experience for all of the big events coming up, including the 2014 Winter Olympics."
When equipped for HDTV, Family Cable subscribers pay no additional programming costs to receive Mediacom's HD Family Cable lineup. Similarly, HD channels are automatically included as part of service levels that include premium channels or other optional channel packages.
To view HD channels included in Family Cable, Digital Packages or Premium subscriptions, customers will need to use an HD television connected to an HD digital converter or cable card. When equipped for HD reception, there is no extra cost for Family Cable customers to receive the HD Family Cable lineup. HD Family channels are generally located between 802 and 879 and include HD broadcasts from local television stations.
Consumers with Local Plus or Family TV service will need to use a digital device on any TV that isn't already connected to a digital converter (or 'cable set-top' or DCT).

Swimming holes have high bacteriaJuly 26,2014Swimming holes
have high bacteria
BRATTLEBORO Officials say high bacteria levels in some southeast Vermont swimming holes could be attributed to heavy rainfall.
Hi E. coli levels were found last week in 15 bodies of water in tests conducted by the Southeastern Vermont Watershed Alliance. The Brattleboro Reformer reported that the bodies of water were connected to the West, Rock, Williams, Middle Branch Williams and Saxtons rivers and the North Branch and Whetstone brooks.
The report said the elevated bacteria levels are often the result of heavy rainfall prior to test samples being taken. Similar findings were found after heavy rain in mid-June.
Group president Gloria Cristelli said E. coli are typically elevated after a rainstorm because animal waste is washed off the sides of a river and into the water.MORE IN This Just InFormer city attorney Christopher Sullivan will serve at least four years behind bars in the...

Hypotension & Dyspnea
Page 2 of 3
Dx: Acute Pulmonary Hypertension
There are a number of conditions you should be looking for in the setting of shock. A bedside ultrasound scan can help you narrow down your differential: pericardial tamponade, PE, MI, hypovolemia, aortic dissection, and ruptured AAA are some at the top of the list. Since there is not room to show all of these here, you may want to check out the free ultrasound image library at www.erpocketbooks.com as you read on.
With cardiomegaly on the chest X-ray, especially if you don't know that it's chronic, your first consideration should be cardiac tamponade from a large pericardial effusion. A bedside echo should be able to rule this out quite easily. On a quick look, your patient does not have any signs of an effusion, so you move on. Given the heart murmur, your next consideration should probably be cardiogenic shock, and if this were the case you would expect to see a dilated, hypokinetic left ventricle (LV). However the LV is actually small and it is the right ventricle (RV) that appears enlarged. This should make you suspect a pulmonary embolism, however this was eventually ruled out with a pulmonary angiogram. As it turned out this patient was eventually diagnosed with acute pulmonary hypertension, possibly due to a combination or cirrhosis and methamphetamine abuse (see above for facts on pulmonary hypertension).
Other conditions that the ultrasound machine could be helpful with include hypovolemic shock, where you would expect to see a small rapidly beating heart and a shrunken or flat inferior vena cava. If you look carefully in the right patient, it is possible to pick up an intimal flap from an acute aortic dissection. Imaging the belly for an abdominal aortic aneurysm or free fluid from a ruptured spleen or hemorrhagic pancreatitis might also be helpful in narrowing down the cause of shock in a sick patient. In the setting of a new murmur, valvular pathology or an acute MI should also be considerations. Imaging for these conditions however, is beyond the scope of most emergency physicians, so when you are worried about these a formal echocardiogram is desirable.

• Swedish Massage is the most popular "Western" massage that combines long strokes, kneading and friction techniques on muscles; increases circulation of the blood, lymph, and vital energy; relaxes muscles and calms the nervous system.
• Deep Tissue Massage uses slow strokes and firm pressure to release chronic tension patterns in connective tissue.
• Specific Injury Massage focuses the entire treatment on specific problem areas to promote recovery. Combined techniques like Swedish, deep tissue, and trigger point work are often used. Hot or cold packs may be applied.
• Sports Massage is geared specifically to the person who is in training for a particular sport. The focus is on injury prevention, maximizing performance, and injury treatment. The massage is usually vigorous and employs cross-friction, compression, pressure points, and strokes for increasing circulation.
• Thai Massage involves stretching, deep tissue manipulation and work with lines of energy known as Sen lines. It is usually performed on the floor with the client wearing comfortable clothes that allow for movement. The client may be positioned in a variety of yoga-like positions, but deep static and rhythmic pressure form the core of the massage. Compression style pressure and stroking motions move blood, aiding normal circulation, and realign knotted muscles for improved movement. Even though the client is being passively moved quite a bit, Thai Massage is deeply relaxing.
• Biofeedback enhances relaxation in combination with massage through the use of instruments that measure small changes in the body's physiology and give feedback that you can use to practice self-regulation of your breathing and levels of stress or relaxation. (more)

I've done socks before, but always cuff down. I'm just about done with my first sock that is toe up. I don't know how to bind off. Is there a special way to do it so it will be elastic?
Thanks for the website... I'm doing my first 2 pair of socks now... yes 2 pair at once... bulky yarn and then a sock yarn... Joe's keeping an eye me... Will be finished the first pair soon.
I've got a few patterns saved on my computer... I'll get a bit of confidence and then try some of them. Great site thanks.
Istanbul, Turkey
Just the one - rightmost - stitch on your needle.
In essence you'll be threading through each stitch twice except for the very first stitch.
-- except that first stitch which you take off will go on the end of the last needle so that when you come around to it again at the end, you will -- finally -- go through it the second time. It all works out, don't worry!
I never knew that little trick. Thanks, Tallguy. I normally do top down socks but have been tempted to try toe up. But I use sewn bind off fairly regularly for other projects. -- Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
Personally, I use Elizabeth Zimmermann's sewn bind-off as described here:
Other folks suggest other methods:
- Cast off with a larger needle
- Increase between every stitch on your last row of knitting and then bind-off
That site says "sew forward (right to left) through two stitches as if to purl, leave the stitches on. Sew backward (left to right) through one stitch as if to knit and remove the stitch.
Repeat from * until you run out of stitches. Work in tail on the inside of the sock and trim any excess."
When it to remove the stitch, is that both of the stitches you just threaded, or just the end one?

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -
After serving for four seasons as a volunteer assistant, Zach Feldman was named as an assistant coach for men's soccer at Cal State Northridge, CSUN head coach Terry Davila announced Tuesday. Feldman will assist in all aspects of the program, including practice sessions, scouting and game preparation.
"It is exciting and an honor to be able to bring an alumnus onto the coaching staff," said Davila. "Coach Feldman brings a lot of playing and coaching experience, knows our program, and will use his skills with both tactics and film breakdown to help our team win."
Feldman was a four-year starter for Coach Davila from 2001-2005, making four NCAA appearances. He was a team captain in 2004 and 2005, leading the Matadors to a Sweet Sixteen berth in the NCAA College Cup during his senior campaign. Prior to playing for CSUN, Feldman laced up for the Conquistadors of El Camino Real High School, winning City Championships in 1999 and 2001, being named the L.A. City Player of the Year by both the Daily News and Los Angeles Times as a senior.
In addition to his time spent as an assistant at Northridge, Feldman is a coach with Real SoCal Soccer Club for the Boys Under-9 team. He is also a head trainer with the US Academy U-18 squad and is the head coach for L.A. Maccabi Soccer. Prior to that, Feldman was the director of recreation for Rampage Futbol Club for two seasons for the Girls U-15 and -10 teams and the Boys U-10 and -9 squads.
Feldman coached the California Stars Soccer Club from 2005-2007, working primarily with the Girls Under-16 and Boys Under-15 teams. He was also an assistant coach for the girls' varsity squad at El Camino Real High School, helping lead the Conquistadors to back-to-back City Championships in 2005 and 2006.
Feldman graduated from Cal State Northridge with a bachelor's degree in communication studies.

Newbigin on liberation theologies
Years ago I came across this wonderful passage from Bishop Lesslie Newbigin's The Gospel in a Pluralist Society, which concisely and astutely puts into words the central difficulty with the various forms of liberation theology. The immediate context sees Newbigin responding to those who employ the hermeneutic of suspicion in their defence of the oppressed. To stave off this hermeneutic's relativistic implications, they are forced to assert that, in contrast to the oppressors who are blinded by a class-based self-interest, the oppressed see things the way they really are. However, there are evident problems with this approach. I could not have stated them better than Newbigin does here:Read more »

The Nepalese Army (Nepali: नेपाली सेना) or Gurkha Army (Nepali: गोर्खाली सेना) is the army of Nepal and a major component of the Military of Nepal. Service is voluntary and the minimum age for enrollment is 18 years. The army was known as The Royal Nepalese Army (RNA) during the monarchy system in Nepal. It was renamed into Nepal Army since 28 May 2008 with the abolishing of 238 years old monarchy.

Nepal unification campaign was a turning point in the history of the Nepalese army. Since unification was not possible without a strong army, the management of the armed forces had to be exceptional. Apart from the standard Malla era temples in Kathmandu, army being organized in Gorkhas, technicians and experts had to be brought in from abroad to manufacture war materials. After the Gorkhali troops captured Nuwakot, the neighbouring principality of Kathmandu (Kantipur) in the year 1744, the Gorkhali armed forces came to be known as the Royal Nepalese Army.
Their gallantry, sincerity and simplicity impressed even their enemy so much that the British East-India Company started recruiting Nepalese into their forces. Since the British had fought against then RNA, which was till that time, still colloquially known as "Army of Gorkha" or "Gorkhali" army, the British called their new soldiers "Gurkhas". The Indian army, after gaining their independence from the British, started calling them "Gorkha". In 1946, the Royal Nepalese Army troops were led by Commanding General Sir Baber Shamsher Jang Bahadur Rana at the Victory Parade in London.[2]
There are reports that the British Indian Army's 268th Indian Infantry Brigade during the Second World War had two Nepalese units operate as part of it. The brigade does not appear to have served outside India.
There is still some misunderstanding that the Nepali Army is a part of the British and Indian Armies. The Gurkha Rifles existing in India and Britain are part of foreign military organizations where Nepalis are recruited. The NA are rightfully the true heir of the title of "The original Army of the Gorkha".
Prior to 2006 the Nepal Army was known as the Royal Nepalese Army and was under the control of the King of Nepal. Yet following the Loktantra Andolan (People's Movement for Democracy) on May 18, 2006 a Bill was passed by the Nepalese parliament curtailing royal power, this included renaming the army.[3]
In 2004 Nepal spent $99.2 million on its military (1.5% of its GDP). Since 2002 the RNA had been involved in the Nepali Civil War they were also used to quell the pro-democracy protesters in April 2006 Loktantra Andolan. Most of its arms are supplied by India.
The Nepal Army has 185,000 strong army and air service members protecting the sovereignty of Nepal.
Supreme Command[edit]
Until 2006, the King of Nepal was in control of all military forces in the country. The National Army was renamed from Royal Nepalese Army to Nepalese Army after the recent national conversion from a monarchy to a republic. The position of the Supreme Commander of the Nepal Army now is the President of Nepal.
The National Defence Council[edit]
This Council used to have three members, the Prime Minister, the Defence Minister, and the Chief of the Army Staff.
Now, Nepal is officially known as Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal. The declaration of republic meant that the king is consigned to the history books making the President the supreme commander of NA.
The Army is divided into six divisions:
- Far-Western
- Mid-Western
- Western
- Central
- Eastern (2nd Brigade, 18th Brigade, 21st Brigade)[4]
- Valley
In addition there are 3 independent brigades:
- Aviation Brigade
- Parachute Brigade
- Security Brigade
The Primary role of the NA is to defend the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Nepal. Their secondary role is to provide assistance to the Civilian Government of Nepal in the maintenance of internal security. Other duties include humanitarian assistance/disaster relief operations, assisting in national development, nature conservation efforts and participation in international peacekeeping mission.
Foreign Involvements[edit]

- Royal Nepal Army in The First World War 1914-1918
- Royal Nepal Army in Waziristhan War
- Royal Nepal Army in Afghan War –1919

Domestic Operations[edit]
Disarmament of the Khampas - 1974
In 1974, the then Royal Nepalese Army (RNA) was mobilized to disarm the Tibetan Khampas, who had been using Nepalese soil to engage in guerilla warfare against the invading Chinese forces. The Khampas operated mainly from a base secretly established at Mustang in northwest Nepal. The RNA, under immense diplomatic pressure from China and the international community, moved nine infantry units toward Mustang, and gave the Khampas an ultimatum to either disarm themselves and surrender, or face attack. The terms and conditions of their surrender were that they would be given Nepalese citizenship, land, and money, and free schooling for their children. The Khampa commander, General Wangdi, agreed to surrender but eventually fled the camp. He was later killed by RNA forces in Doti, in far western Nepal, while trying to loot a Nepal Police post. This was the first time the RNA had mobilized domestically in such large numbers. The Nepali government failed to provide any of the compensation agreed to in the surrender terms.
International Operations[edit]
The Nepalese Army has contributed more than 100,000 peacekeepers to a variety of United Nations-sponsored peacekeeping missions such as:
- United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL),
- UNOSOMII the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR), UN Operational Mission Somalia II,
- UNMIH the United Nations Mission in Haiti.
- UNAMSIL - Currently, Nepal is sending an 800-man battalion to serve in the peacekeeping mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL).
- UNMIS - The Nepalese Army has sent a protection company of 200 personnel in United Nations Mission In Sudan. The Redeployment Coordination HQ at Kassala is also manned by the Nepalese contingent. The RCHQ was intended to monitor withdrawals from the eastern sectors of the UNMIS area in accordance with the Sudan Comprehensive Peace Accord.
- MINUSMA - For the first time,[5][6] the Nepalese Army has a company of EOD of 140 personnel specially dedicated for improvised explosive device (IED) and ordnance disposal mission in Mali.
U.S./Nepal military relations[edit]
The U.S.-Nepali military relationship focuses on support for democratic institutions, civilian control of the military, and the professional military ethic to include respect for human rights. The US would support Nepal with arms, ammunition and additional commandos and Soldiers if war began with its neighbouring China and India. Both countries have had extensive contact over the years. Nepali Army units have served with distinction alongside American forces in places such as Haiti, Iraq, and Somalia.
U.S.-Nepali military engagement continues today through IMET, Enhanced International Peacekeeping Capabilities (EIPC), Global Peace Operations Initiative (GPOI), and various conferences and seminars. The U.S. military sends many Nepalese Army officers to America to attend military schooling such as the Command and General Staff College and the U.S. Army War College. The IMET budget for FY2001 was $220,000.
The EPIC program is an interagency program between the Department of Defense and the Department of State to increase the pool of international peacekeepers and to promote interoperability. Nepal received about $1.9 million in EPIC funding.
Commander in Chief, Pacific (CINCPAC) coordinates military engagement with Nepal through the Office of Defense Cooperation (ODC). The ODC Nepal is located in the American Embassy, Kathmandu.

By George from USA on 2013-04-27 15:14:10Things I liked:12 targets on one sheet. 1200 bullseyes for $12 is quite a value. I really like squeezing off a lot of shots before changing targets .tt
Things I would have changed:Kinda wish the scoring rings and bulleyes were a bit larger but as I have used them I will say that they make you take your time and improve your aim. You will get used to them!
What others should know:Despite my whining above about target sizes, I really like these.I can hit the bullseye from 10 m, they are not difficult to score and you had better be a good shot hit the black consistently. As a training target, these are ideal, at 5 shots a target, you can get 70 shots without changing the page. And, a couple of these side by side make a friendly competition a lot of fun.

By Ken from USA on 2012-10-20 22:14:24Things I liked:The amount of bulls per page and for the money is excellent. Paper weight is heavier which eliminates any flapping around in a wind. Can still use my standard mil-dot reticle on these bulls with no issues.
Things I would have changed:My main target trap is designed for 8 1/2" X 11", so I have to trim off the 3 left side bulls in order for this to fit. No big deal, I just tape the leftovers together, so I still get 8 bulls per page.
What others should know:If you're looking for maximum value in a bundle of target bulls, this is the one you should buy. No sacrifice in quality. I took one star off just for the extra time it takes to fit my differently-sized target trap.

a greca" was made around 1075, and was sent by Byzantine emperor Michael Dukas VII to King Géza's wife. The upper part, the "Corona latina", also dates from the 11th century, and the two parts were fitted together at an unknown date, probably around 1200. Of the other coronation items, the coronation mantle and maybe also the scepter both date from the time of Saint Stephen.
You can find more information on the Hungarian coronation regalia on my page dedicated to the Hungarian regalia.
There is an excellent and detailed photo documentation of the crown and other regalia on the website of photographer Károly Szelényi (this is the material of an online exhibition put together by Bildarchiv Foto Marburg, therefore all the commentary is in German).
