I have only been a real fan of a major sports team once in my life. As a child growing up with season tickets to the LA Kings, I lived and died by the bounce of the puck. I labored through the days of the purple and gold Kings, haunted by early playoff exits usually at the hands of Joel Otto's Flames. My favorite player wasn't known for his finesse in those days. They used to joke that he needed to hold on to the side of the rink to skate. When I was 4 years old we had the same number of missing teeth…Brawler Tiger Williams was my hero. But when the Kings turned black and silver and raided the most famous of the Edmonton lines I was pumped. Wayne Gretzky! Jari Kurri! Marty McSorley!
Finally, we rode the great one to the Stanley Cup… I was nervous all day, like I am now when my best friend is about to fight. I couldn't think about anything else… It completely consumed me.
I sat in the Great Western Forum amongst a sea of converted hockey fanatics and saw a game tied 3-3 at the end of regulation. It was game 3, with the series tied 1-1 following a game won by a sneaky stick measurement from the crafty Hab coach. Then the moment came where I will never forget. Only a minute or two into overtime, the Montreal Canadiens scored the sudden death goal. It is then that I learned that the sound of heartbreak is a deafening quiet. It is impossible to describe how 16,000 fans in a dome shaped arena can be so quiet that you could hear a blind referee fart and a Hab's groupie queaf on opposite sides of the Forum. For the next 2 games I watched Patrick Roy turn my heart cold as he walled the net like a Stone Golem. One wink told the story.
But when I moved from LA to Austin at age 14 I slowly began to drift away from the sport. I still called myself a Kings fan but I checked in on the team less and less. As the names I grew up with like Luc Robitaille and Rob Blake either left the team or retired, I eventually couldn't tell my kings apart from any other team in the league.
Then the 2010 playoffs came around. My curiosity reignited by a stirring Olympic performance from the USA, and the emergence of superstars Oveychkin and Crosby, I turned on Versus HD at the recommendation of a fellow Kings fan and started to reacquaint myself with NHL of 2010. It was fun. I missed the game. But the turning point came after I had a good enough understanding where I could put a little money on some teams. I bet the pens – 1.5 and the sharks +1.5 with the Over.
Fuckin hell yea. Now I remembered what it was like to watch hockey as a kid. I wanted every check to plaster a player on the glass like a cartoon villain run over by a steamroller. When they fucked with Sydney Crosby I couldn't wait for the goons to come storming in fists flying, just like McSorley did for Gretzky. Each power play, as the pressure mounted it was like building toward an ejaculation that you didn't know if you were gonna get.
What other sport has the excitement of 'goals' and the violence of a fight? Look at Soccer… Goals are exciting yes. But as soon as someone so much as touches someone else, they fly to the ground and start rolling on the grass like they just got sodomized by a gorilla. That is of course, until the magic fairy spray can gets trotted in by a trainer and sprinkles on their 'boo boo' at which point they hop up like nothing happened.
A hockey player will take a fucking stick to the face, skate his ass off the ice leaving a trail of blood, get stitched up on the bench and make it in time for his next shift. If someone hits them they don't put ice on it, they put the motherfucker who did it on the ice.
And if two athletes decide they want to punch eachother in the face, say on the basketball court or on the field, there are fines, suspensions, announcers calling it a disgrace, referees charging in. In hockey, the refs wait til the fighters are tired and their punishment lasts all of four minutes as they sit in "Time Out" for adults! And even the goalies get in the action. Only in hockey can two players who have never come within 90 feet of each other all night fight eachother just because they didn't want to be the only ones in the locker room that didn't get some action.
Its not a game for primadonnas, and hold-outs, and whiners. It's a game for men. It's the frozen sport of kings.
So if you are not a fan of the sport, I challenge you to sign up for a betting site, and put some money on a game. And then tell me what you think. Its my guess it won't be long until you start yelling at your screen.

With only very few exceptions, plants emit green leaf volatiles (GLVs) when damaged. The GLVs released by damaged wild tobacco attract Geocoris bugs which attack herbivores, most importantly young herbivorous Manduca larvae: each Manduca larva, if allowed to grow to full size, can consume multiple full-grown wild tobacco plants! The emission of specific GLVs, including (E)-2-hexenal and related compounds, increases as soon as freshly hatched Manduca larvae start feeding on leaves and so Geocoris can tell whether the GLVs come from Manduca feeding as opposed to any other damage. In contrast, proteinase inhibitors (PIs) are synthesized in the leaves to interfere with the digestion of leaf proteins and thus render the plant less nutritious to herbivores; hence, they can weaken feeding caterpillars. Both GLVs and PIs have been shown to reduce the number of particular herbivores, or the amount of damage they cause, for plants growing in nature over the course of short field trials. This time, researchers asked the question: do these compounds increase yield, i.e. reproduction, over the full growing season of a plant? In other words, are plants which produce these compounds really fitter than those that don't?

Whenever Things Get Difficult or Complicated, I Always Return to This.
What is it that brings us happiness?
I am deeply troubled by this in my life.
I seek guidance from your superior years
And knowledge of the ancient Yoga texts.
All you desire to learn about happiness
Is to be found in the ancient scriptures.
Study the Bhagavad Gita,
the Yoga Sutra,
and the Upanishads
Until they are as close to your heart as your heart itself.
Then you will know how to be truly happy.
I will. But can you not tell me yourself
Right here, right now, what I am to learn?
From the Bhagavad Gita
You will learn to live the life you are destined to live
Always full of love in your heart,
To live with great purpose and to act decisively
But with no ego attachment to the results.
From the Yoga Sutra
You will learn that the secret of happiness
Is strong self-discipline of the body and the mind
And the ability to travel deeply
Into the true nature of reality.
From the Upanishads
You will learn that you are already supremely happy
Because you are already perfect and divine.
You are already the absolute wonder of the universe.
These are indeed overwhelming truths.
I will study the Gita, the Sutra, and the Upanishads.
But what can I do right now
To begin to experience these truths?
Focus gently on the present moment
Without judgment or ego.
Focusing on the present moment
Will allow you to act decisively with love
Without your ego being attached to the results
As prescribed in the Bhagavad Gita.
Concentrating on the present moment
Is the essence of self-discipline and meditation
As prescribed in the Yoga Sutra.
By focusing on the present moment
You will start to see
That every moment is divine and precious
And that you are already the very life force of the universe
As taught in the Upanishads.
My mind spins. I ache for more.
I will approach these profound and ancient texts
With an open heart
And a fervent desire to drink of their wisdom.

Ok, i admit that I am a terribly over educated person and I can't seem to figure out this simple detail:My permits are to start on Monday July 29. Do we pick up our permits on Sunday morning? Can we pick them up at any time during the day on Sunday? Or do we get them on Monday??Ok...1.5 details...The friend who is giving us a ride to and from the trail asked if he could join us for a bit, possibly hike half dome and to TM with us. Ok, then we'd need to get a single walk up permit...do we get that MONDAY am, or Sunday?? I can't seem to figure out whether these things seem to happen the day OF the hike, or the day before......Seems simple, I know.....
You can pick up your reserved permit any time Sunday or Monday while the office is open. Walk up permits are available the day before, in your case Sunday, after 11 am. So any time between then and Monday when the wilderness center closes. If you show up on Monday morning and wait in line until 0800 be prepared to listen to the ranger's spiel on backcountry ettiquette and all of the questions/ stories. One time I saw this bear and and and what should I have done? It is really frustrating. Also if happy isles th is full get a permit for glacier point and you can meet up in LYV. Or he can hike from happy isles to glacier point to begin his hike ; ) ; ) (doesn't actually go to glacier point) and you should get permits to hike up half dome with your wilderness permits.If you pick up your permits the day before you can stay in the backpacker's camp. I think it's behind North Pines, one of the pines campgrounds anyways. And your friend can also stay the night after his permit in the TM backpacker's cg.

Sweet...thanks! So I guess we should plan on being at Yosemite Saturday night, not Sunday night, eh?
Unless you have a place to stay Saturday night, I would show up Sunday around 11 and get the reserved permit(s) and the walk up. Most of the people waiting in line since the crack of dawn are going to be trying to get a permit for Sunday, not Monday.While someone is picking up the permits the other(s) can snag a spot in th BP's camp, check out is at noon.

What is Channel Bonding?
Channel bonding is a new feature in channel planning for Wireless-N technology and a big part of the Wireless N speed increase. For Wireless-G and Wireless-B, signals were transmitted using a slice of the operating band 20MHz wide (this is called a channel). Under channel bonding, two 20MHz channels instead of one are used by one router, increasing the rate of transmission of data.
2.5GHz and 5GHz
Channel bonding is primarily intended for use with the very wide 5GHz band. Neighboring wireless routers have to operate on different non-overlapping channels in order to avoid interference and thus lower signal quality. Since 5GHz has a lot of available channels, it's generally easy to use channel bonding without having interference problems with other devices. While channel bonding can also be used with the 2.4GHz band on a Wireless-N router, there are certain limitations. The main problem is that the 2.4GHz is much narrower than the 5GHz band – only three non-overlapping channels are available (four in many countries outside North America).
The other problem with using channel bonding on 2.4GHz is the issue of that band's crowdedness. Not only are most routers currently in use using Wireless-G and thus the 2.4GHz band, but other wireless devices such as Bluetooth headsets and cordless keyboards often use this band as well. This of course is only made worse if a router is taking up two channels instead of one, which is why channel bonding on this band is most often unfeasible in populated areas. In this way much of the purported Wireless N speed boost relies on the 5GHz band being used.
In conclusion, channel bonding is a very useful feature of Wireless-N capable routers. It boosts data transfer rates and is one of the main sources of Wireless N's speed increase relative to Wireless G. While channel bonding can be used with the 2.4GHz band, this is rarely viable in heavily populated areas.

Green jobs get most of the attention these days, but lately there's news from an old and not-so-green industry, mining. Here, we have good news, bad news, and no news.
Good news: Lea County will get its first new potash mine in four decades, Santa Fe Gold Corp. will begin processing ore near Lordsburg, and reclamation will begin soon at abandoned coal mines near Raton.
Bad news: With an Appeals Court decision in its favor, Hydro Resources is closer to mining uranium in the Church Rock area, and the state Mining and Minerals Division issued a permit for exploratory drilling for bertrandite in Red Paint Canyon near Monticello.
My determination of good or bad here depends entirely on whether the people of the area want these developments. The Hydro Resources people may be fine folks who call their mothers at least once a week and offer an enlightened plan of operation. But uranium mining in Navajo country must overcome some ugly history, and thanks to BP, the public is even less trusting of energy companies.

Lady Gaga Wears Purple Hair Dress
Lady Gaga has got a hairy situation on her hands!
In Hong Kong on Saturday, the singer looked as if she combed through the Purple People Eater's hairbrush when she stepped out in a colorful dress made from faux purple hair.
She topped off the artfully done number with white opera-length gloves and a matching wide-brimmed hat. Coming as no surprise, Lady Gaga's on-stage ensembles will be just as show-stopping. Giorgio Armani has been tapped to outfit the star in designs that feature a mix of studs, PVC, Plexiglas, crystals and latex. Her accessories include a wacky piano headpiece and thigh-high vinyl boots.
PHOTOS: Lady Gaga's wackiest looks
"I'm so happy to be in Hong Kong! We have 4 shows here! Thanks for buying tickets my amazing little monsters, I can't wait to rock this city," the singer tweeted from her account that day.
The 26-year-old's four-day jaunt follows her April 27 kick-off show in South Korea. The concert was the center of controversy when the government, who has listed 35 of the "Born This Way" singer's songs under the commission's "Harmful Content for Youth" category including her hits "Poker Face" and "Bad Romance," stepped in and banned minors from attending.
PHOTOS: Lady Gaga's body evolution
"Thank u to all the adults in Korea who are speaking out for underaged who want to come to the BTW Ball. Maybe the gov. will change their mind," the star tweeted April 2.

Samsung is teasing a new TV it will showcase during CES 2013. The most notable thing about the teaser image is that Samsung seems to be advertising the TV's portrait mode capabilities. It is also speculated that the TV may sport a translucent screen.The portrait mode seems to be a little strange aspect to tease, considering most of the things a TV is used for, such as watching shows, movies or playing games, are all displayed at a 16:9 widescreen resolution. The company could be hinting at a feature that lets you stream content from a Galaxy device to the TV, as devices like the Galaxy SIII run on portrait mode. The TV could also possibly incorporate the flexible displays the company will be showcasing at CES.

Wow! The possibility of actually getting together with ISC 'in the flesh' has apparently made you "...want to be a better man"('As Good As It Gets'/Jack Nicholsen reference). You would normally be trying to steal credit for a funny comment("wot, like a time share?") instead of doing this. Is 'fluff' one of your 'terms of endearment'(yet another Nicholsen movie reference...sorry) too? Try 'arm candy' while you're at it. I heard she moonlights as a model.

Thanks for the input and for contacting Colin Campbell. I'm almost finished with the China Study. Reading the China Study and the Omnivores Dilemma I've become convinced processed foods and animal fat are poisons. True or not that is how I now feel.
The African study you mention is interesting. I started off my new way of eating without fish buy my nutritionist suggest I have it once or twice a week. I will say I do feel better having the fish than I did when I first started taking control of my diet.
StanView Thread
I'm eating over ton of vegetables a day. Mostly raw though.
I eat a huge salad for lunch which is well over a pound. I start my day with a green smoothie and also have one before dinner most days.
I'm eating a ton of beans. Most of the food I eat for dinner consists of some sort of whole grain pasta or rice with cooked veggies or beans.
I do eat grilled fish once a week as I stated but have not had any red meat/chicken/pork in 7 months and do not see myself eating those foods every again. I've had minimal if any processed pasta and breads.
My next goal would be to eliminate the once a week grilled fish. That's going to be a hard one as that is my social situation food!
Thanks again for the response. If I do ever cheat it will be good to know that I'm not the only one.View Thread
I've been on the Ornish diet with the exception of grilled fish once or twice a week and a handful of nuts daily for close to 7 months now. And I've never felt better. I've also had steamed clams and mussels a couple times when I ate out.
I'm curious if folks following the strict way of eating cheat when on vacations or functions where it's not possible to find Ornish approved foods?
Also curious if you did cheat and have a cheeseburger or whatever how did your body react? I feel if I ever ate red meat again I may be ill!
The most I've cheated to date is to have some white rice maybe once or twice and a veggie dish that had oil in it about a month ago. Also the mussels and clams I mentioned above.
I guess I should consider the fish as cheating even though my Dr. and nutritionist recommend salmon/tuna once or twice a week.
I would really like to eliminate all animal products from my diet.
Looking forward to your responses!View Thread
I just joined an organic CSA and this will help me vary my veggie intake a bit more than I do now.View Thread
5-7 days a week it's in my salad and is the base for the 2 green smoothies I drink daily.
I was reading about the health benefit of dark green vegetables' and it seems the veggies and fruits I am eating are high in oxalates which I've read can cause Kidney stones.
Just curious if others here who are living on a mainly plant based diet can shed any light on oxalates.View Thread

Fact is I'm a s thin as a reail 6'2" 165 lbs. With this new way of eating I'm having a hard time keeping the weight on!View Thread
This is a tough one for me as I am one who as I've aged usually listen to my Dr's advice.
I really do not want to be on any drugs either.
Right now I'm on 5mg Lipitor(down from 10MG after this blood work)and 25MG Toporol for extra heartbeats. I will see what my cardio Dr says and decide what to do about the Lipitor. I also wonder what cutting the does in half will do to my numbers.
Next blood test is 4 months.View Thread

Armed with more statistical information, Dick Balenseifen made another presentation regarding the inequities in Class 6A to the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association board of directors on Wednesday.
High schools: Discussions continue on whether to split all classifications
His proposal is to divide the class in all sports similar to the Class 6A football split that begins in the fall. For the second straight meeting, the result wasn't exactly what the Putnam City Schools athletic director had hoped.
The board voted to form a 13-person committee to study reclassification across all classes in all OSSAA activities.
"It's a step in the right direction," Balenseifen said. "We do have to represent all of the kids in the state of Oklahoma. It's not just about the bottom half of Class 6A or the top half of 6A, it's about everyone.
"But I think the statistics that (Bishop McGuinness athletic director) Gary Savely and the other people working with our group all put together, they clearly indicate we have a problem."
Balenseifen said 89.5 percent of the 6A championships were won by the upper half of schools in the class over the last 10 years, a number more than 20 percent higher than any other class.
By comparison, Class 5A-B titles are won by the upper half of the class just 51 percent of the time.
"I say doing nothing is completely wrong," Balenseifen told the board. "I do not know if I have all of the answers, but I'm 100 percent sure that if we do nothing, that in five years the top half of 6A is going to continue the domination of the bottom half of 6A. I have 17 years of proof, so doing nothing is wrong."
His data showed that smaller Class 6A schools are as handicapped in other sports than football, which has been won by Jenks or Tulsa Union the past 18 seasons.
That resulted in a split into two divisions voted on by the board last spring. Balenseifen is using that model for his proposal.
But board members such as Jay McAdams of Kingston and Bill Seitter of Watonga raised concerns about inequalities in other classes and if a split would really fix the problem for the upper half of the schools.

Firefox OS
Do you have an app for Firefox OS?
All responses
No we do not. Firefox OS is quite new, and not fully available to most people. That being said, it would need to gain some ground before we would build an app for it. We'd need to do some research as well. Feel free to add this as a suggestion. http://todoist.com/Vote/
I want to help on the Firefox OS app, do you think I can create one app without interfer in your current roadmap?
We have an API anyone can use to create apps, it does not effect what we are or aren't going to be doing. :) https://todoist.com/API/
Thank you Brendon, yeah I saw it thanks. My concern is to dedicate time and effort in something that will be replaced by an official app in the future, you know? :)
Well at this time I can't say if and when this will happen. So I can't really tell you if it would be a waste of time. We hope to support everyone but that is as far as we know at the moment.
Thank you for your reply Brendon, hope to work close to you guys!

Hi Guys
My first post.
We are upgrading to BE 2012 with D2D and would like to add an offsite solution. After dedupe we hope to see about 300Gb of data with say 10% changing daily. After the initial run is is practical to achieve this with a daily incremental job onsite with dedupe and an offsite backup overnight on a fairly slow link (say 5Mbps)?
Advice and pointers welcome.

This Lovely Undergrad site has some interesting articles, particularly about dorm room design. So as you begin your shopping for next Fall's decor, you may want to stop here and see what's possible.
Lovely Undergrad: Real Life Dorms.
Dorm Accessories – To Go.
Dorm Life isn't about just being in the dorm. It's also about getting to and from the dorm. And how you look while doing it.
Even though JC Penney took both the facebook.com/dormlife and /dorm.life URLs, and having to settle for /thisisdormlife, maybe we should forgive them. We realized they understood how cool Dorm Life was when we saw JC Penney named a whole line of stuff after "dorm life". Flattery, right?
So check it out. And no, they're not paying us to say this. Though we would let them.

50 Great Green Tips for Dorm Life
The word 'green' usually brings a few things to mind when thinking of dorm life. First, it can describe the naivite of college freshmen (and engineering sophomores). Second, it can describe the color of the inside of the refrigerator after winter break.
So we were happy to see a new connotation – an environmental one:
A true(ish) guide to (real) dorm life.
Kudos to Alex Schiff. he understands the true meaning of dorm life. And subtle sarcasm.

Did you mean?Try your search again
Can anyone suggest good restaurants/food in Bocas or Near Red Frog Resort? Ones posted are old.
Is it safe to drink water? Or should we only drink bottled water? Brand?
Do I need to do the meds for Malaria?
Cash or Traveler Checks?
Thank you!!!
In Bocas Oct 18-22 and will be taking our own gear. Any recommendations for a good place to stay where I can snorkel right from the property? I'll go for so much longer than my wife so I don't really want to have to take a tour or a boat everytime. It would be cool if a place had (or rented) kayaks to get to a nearby snorkel location too. I was looking at the Orange House for example, but that is on Saigon Bay and that does not seem ideal to snorkel from. I also don't really want to be too far from night time in Bocas Town for eating and drinks but certain don't want to hear it when trying to get our old bones to sleep either :)
We are coming in on a Thursday flight on Copa to Tocumen. Supposed to arrive at 2. Would we have time to make it over to Albrook to catch the 3:30 flight to Bocas or is that too tight? Not sure if 1 1/2 hours is enough time to deplane, get bags, Immigration, customs and get to Albrook (what is trafic like at the time of day?
Thanks in advance-

Yeah last time walmart marker deal fell through for me… they emailed me days later to say they won't be shipping it.
Wow, that was out of stock waaaayyyy to quickly. :(
Agreed! We are scratching our heads over this one…can't believe it sold out this quick…this is nuts! — Carole from ShopAtHome.com
Carole, can you check on what the hold up is on the Elmer's glue sticks from August 7?
I have sent a couple emails about the proactive and the elmers glue sticks and have gotten no response back. It has been a weeks since the email. Any ideas how long it can take to hear back?
No deal! Out of stock online! Is this "out of stock online" message a mistake or did Walmart set up the deal with ShopAtHome.com with no online stock?
They have never paid out on the Elmer's glue sticks from August 7.
Yea I haven't received that deal either. I started an Excel spreadsheet for all of the deals because there were 2 from July I had to email them about. I do want to say though that after I emailed them they fixed it within 7 days.
So they have fixed your glue stick issue?? I can't get a response out of them!! Mind telling me what your other item was that did not post for you?
It has not been over 30 days so I have not emailed them about the glue sticks yet. It says may take up to 30 days to post to your account. The other item was for the papermate 4 pk pens at Walmart on July 17th as well as the Crayola Markers from July 23rd.
The Elmer's glue sticks were from August 7, I think.
Its now working for me but goes to 3pk not 4!
never mind its not free its 74cents

These questions and answers provide detailed information about twins genetics. We discuss here various factors that influence the differential development of identical twins. We also discuss the probabilities of half-identical twins or polar body twins. Listed below is a selection of those that are most frequently asked. If you can not find the answer to your question, please contact us and we'll promptly provide you with an answer.

What is the value of my participating in a twin study?
Can fraternal twins have different fathers?
Are identical twins really identical?
With respect to the phenotype (i.e. physical characteristics), identical is not necessarily an ideal word to describe monozygotic (i.e."identical") twins. To begin with, there are a wide variety of environmental influences during development in the uterus that causes each twin to develop differently such as differential sharing of nutrients or vascular interactions in monochorionic placentas. Additionally, some soft tissues of the head and face tend to be influenced by the limited space in the human uterus which was primarily designed for one fetus. Therefore, head shape can be quite different between infant identical twins although these differences may only be transitory. Later in development, a wide variety of environmental factors can influence the likeness of identical twins. One twin's preference for a particular sport or physical activity or even intellectual activity (i.e. reading fantasy novels) can greatly impact their individual physical or personality development. For this reason, nearly all identical twins can be distinguished by parents or anyone who knows them well. It would preferable to refer to them as monozygotic twins in order to recognize their obvious individuality. On the other hand, monozygotic twins who are separated at birth and raised in different environments can sometimes exhibit genetically determined behaviors that influence their innate selection of their environment and when reunited later in life can resemble each other very strongly, even more so that some monozygotic twins who had shared the same essential environment. Likewise, monozygotic twins may subconsciously inherit the desire for more similar life experiences than regular siblings. See the next question regarding differences in genotype between identical twins. back to top Is the DNA of identical twins really identical?
The best answer to the question is, "almost identical". With respect to the DNA, this refers to the differences in genotype between identical twins. The sequence of the DNA is nearly 100% identical although there are likely to be handful of spontaneous mutations that occurred early in development just after the original fertilized egg had split. Other twins genetic modifications can also occur but they are exceedingly rare. Factors such as DNA imprinting that ultimately control the way that genes are expressed can be more influential than the actual sequence of the DNA. Many environmental factors can influence the control of DNA expression which ultimately lead to changes in the the phenotype or physical characteristics of monozygotic twins. back to top What is the relative impact of genes vs. environment in explaining the differences between identical
Indeed, the study of twins provides the best controlled studies that can address this question. For nearly all human traits, both genes and the environment work together in different ways. The mechanisms that cause one trait to be influenced more by genetic than environmental factors, and vice versa, is very difficult to untangle. For example, there is a great deal of evidence that identical twins tend to be more similar in height than fraternal twins. Since both identical and fraternal twins are raised in the same relative environment, this would suggest that genetic factors exhibit a lot of control over height. However, if you look at an immigration example where U.S.-born children of Asian immigrants are significantly taller than their parents, you can see that Western diets which are generally more protein rich can cause these children to be much taller than their parents. This would suggest that an environmental factor like diet is the primary controller over human height. back to top What types of traits are considered to be genetically based?
Generally, traits such as height, weight, hair color, hair texture, and eye color have a consistent genetic basis. These traits are usually predictive of zygosity status. back to top What types of traits are considered to be environmentally based?
The true answer is that all traits have an environmental basis. back to top What are mirror image twins?
Mirror image twins are identical twins that result when a fertilized egg splits later in the embryonic stage than usual, typically from day 9 to 12. Mirror image twins tend to exhibit characteristics with reversed asymmetry (e.g., one twin is left-handed and the other is right-handed, or opposite-sided occipital hair whorls and hair partings). If this split happens much later than this, then the twins can be co-joined. A DNA-based zygosity test cannot determine if twins are mirror image twins. back to top What are polar body or half-identical twins?
Polar body twins are believed to occur when the mother's egg splits in the normal course of ovulation and one half (referred to as the 'polar body') is also fertilized by a different sperm. In theory, this results in twins who share half their genes in common (from the mother) and the other half different (from the two sperm). They share some features of identical twins and some features of fraternal twins and are so-called half-identical twins. However, there are intervening genetic recombinations during ovum development which may make polar bodies different from each other and therefore not possessing the same maternal DNA. For this reason, and others related to costs and accuracy, DNA-based zygosity tests are not currently offered by us to determine if twins are polar-body twins. back to top Is having twins affected by heredity (i.e. "twins run in the family") or is the twins gene, sex-link
With respect to multiple ovulation (i.e. dizygotic twins), there is some evidence that twinning is heritable, but neither family studies nor molecular-genetic data suggest that it is either autosomal or sex-linked. There is little evidence that suggest that identical twinning has any genetic basis. back to top What is the value of my participating in a twin study?
As a twin, you have a unique opportunity to contribute to one of the oldest questions humans have about ourselves: "Does nature or nurture control our fate with respect to certain human characteristics?" Participating in a twin study will provide you and your twin the opportunity to do a fun activity with each other that you could do with no one else. You will learn about twins genetics and something about yourself in the process. Some studies provide monetary compensation for your time and some are volunteer only. Some studies may also provide complimentary zygosity testing. Here is a link for more information about enrolling in twin studies. back to top Can fraternal twins have different fathers?
Yes. This called is heteropaternity and is possible when more than one sexual partner was present during the same ovulatory cycle. A zygosity test does not establish paternity. back to top

National, October 16, 2000 -- XM announced that the Washington, DC Metro Police Department's Central Regional Operations Command (ROC-Central) will move into office space provided at XM's headquarters located at 1500 Eckington Place NE, in Ward 5. The ROC-Central is expected to start moving into its new facility later this month and is scheduled to be fully operational by mid-November.
"We believe the increased police presence in the area will accelerate the economic transformation of the neighborhood which is already in high gear and reaffirms our dedication to this community," said XM's President/CEO, Hugh Panero.
ROC-Central, currently located at 501 New York Avenue, NW, is commanded by Regional Assistant Chief William McManus, who has been with the department for more than 25 years. The office is responsible for managing and coordinating crime fighting efforts throughout the First, Third and Fifth police districts. The ROC oversees district operations, as well as crime analysis, budget and administrative responsibilities.
"Relocating the ROC-Central is part of an ongoing effort to place our operational units in the heart of the communities they serve," said Chief of Police Charles Ramsey. The Metropolitan Police Department looks forward to serving with XM and others as an anchor in rebuilding this neighborhood," said Ramsey.
Mayor Anthony Williams added, "XM Satellite Radio's move created an opportunity for us to improve city services by moving this Metropolitan Police Department operation into our neighborhoods. As with the relocation of the Department of Motor Vehicles to Georgia Avenue, we're making sure that our residents have easy access to city services where they live and work."
The relocation of the ROC-Central is but another demonstration of the revitalization of this area of the nation's capitol. The DC government and a Detroit developer have reached an agreement to build the district's first new major retail center in decades. The complex is expected to include retail giants such as Home Depot, Kmart and Giant Food and will be located at nearby Brentwood Road, NE.
DC Council Member Vincent Orange (D-Ward 5) said, "XM Satellite Radio is exercising its corporate social responsibility by offering space to DC police which will ensure a safer community. I hope that other firms moving into the technology district follow XM's lead and find positive ways to exhibit their commitment to the community."
XM Satellite Radio is developing a new band of radio: up to 100 national channels of digital-quality programming broadcast directly to car, truck, home, portable radios coast to coast in 2nd quarter 2001 for a monthly subscription fee of $9.95.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements in this press release include uncertainties associated with the launch of our satellites, the company's dependence on third party vendors, its continuing need for additional financing, as well as other risks described in XM Satellite Radio Holdings Inc.'s Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on 9-7-00. Copies of the filing are available upon request from XM Radio's Investor Relations Department.

Even though I knew that Makawao is not mango country, I planted a Haden mango tree on October 1, 1972. The tree has been a poor bearer because invariably fungal diseases attacks the flowers. The tree still grows because it provides good shade. Haden mangoes do not do well in a wet humid environment because these are the conditions that promote the devastating Anthracnose fungus that infects flowers, fruit, and leaves. When infected, the leaves become discolored and crinkly. If a drought occurs during the time of flowering we can expect to eat mangoes that year. Luckily my father had a Haden mango tree in Wailuku that the family benefited from. When that source ended the entire family was not very happy. His tree was the only one producing mangoes for the family. Because this is the time for mangoes, and I have had many questions from people about mangoes, I will devote this and the next article to growing this popular fruit.
The mango tree grows in sandy as well as loam soils and requires good drainage. It will grow to 1500 feet elevation but is more productive if planted below 1200 feet and in areas that are dry during flowering. It requires less than 60 inches of rain per year but will need to have supplemental irrigation if it is too dry. I have not seen a dwarfed mango tree; the common mango grows to more than 60 feet tall. Most backyard varieties are between 25-40 feet tall. Creative pruning has dwarfed some to make picking easier and limits the amount of leaves dropped. Because trees are usually taller than commercial pickers, mangoes are commonly picked with a long bamboo pole with a hand fashioned stiff wire loop on the end to which a pant leg is sewn. The bottom of the pant leg is sewn shut to make a bag for catching mangoes. The stiff wire loop is crimped to create a neck large enough for the fruit's stem to pass through but not the fruit. To pick a mango the bag is positioned so that the fruit is suspended within the bag. The fruit's stem is passed through the crimped wire. The pole is pulled down. The stem snaps and the fruit drops into the homemade bag. Someone in Lahaina has a similar picker but only with a very long tube that reaches to the ground. Picked fruit move through the tube to the ground using friction to break its speed. The only problem is that the long tube would be difficult to pick mangoes from the tree's interior. The bag is more convenient but requires frequent emptying.
Mangoes producing several plants from one seed are polyembryonic. These young plants (the common mango for example) are true to the mother plant. Most plants produce seeds that are monoembryonic - only one plant grows from each seed. These young plants are the result of sexual fertilization and because of genetics will not be true to the mother plant. The many recommended and not recommended mango cultivars are mostly of this type and are seedlings from known cultivars. Once a mango is selected and recommended for planting propagation must be by vegetative means, grafting primarily. Planting a seed does not provide you with the identical fruit.
The Haden mango is the most popular mango grown in Hawaii. It is a seedling of the 'Mulgoba' mango grown in Florida, 1902. The Haden served as a standard of excellence in Florida for many decades and when it was introduced into Hawaii was superior to any mangoes growing here at that time. The fruit is medium to large and has an attractive thick skin. The flesh is fibrous. Now with all the new cultivars to choose from the University of Hawaii is not recommending that Haden be planted. There are many other "newer" types that are superior in fruit quality and produce annually. The Haden produces a large crop in alternate years and is very sensitive to the Anthracnose fungus as well as powdery mildew. Mexico exports primarily Haden to the U.S. The cultivars described below are all part of the list recommended for planting in our State.
The Gouveia cultivar is named after a Mrs. Gouveia of Palolo Valley, Oahu. She planted a seed from the Pirie cultivar. The seedling tree produced good to excellent quality fruit (in fact the best quality compared to the other recommended cultivars). The Gouveia mango is sensitive to Anthracnose so should be planted in relatively dry areas. Its production is on the "light" side and bears fruit from July through August.
The Rapoza mango is another seedling and is named after Herbert Rapoza, a worker at the Poamoho Experimental Farm. This cultivar produces very large fruit, attractive in appearance, of excellent quality, and is generally late bearing (August through October). It bears a heavy yield each year. It flowers in the spring time and again later so is recommended for wet as well as dry areas. With the repeat flowering it produces fruit even though Anthracnose is a problem.
Ah Ping produces a medium sized fruit. This cultivar originated as a seedling growing in the yard of Mrs. Chu Ah Ping in Mapulehu, Molokai. The fruit's appearance is excellent and quality very good. It is an annual bearer during June and July. Yield is of a moderate amount.
Fairchild was introduced to Hawaii from Panama by Walter Lindsey in the 1920s. It produces small yellow fruit of very good quality. It is tolerant of anthracnose and is recommended for wet humid areas. Its fruit is of very good quality and the tree produces a moderate yield. I have eaten Fairchild mangoes and can say that the fruit is not stringy and is of good taste. Because of its small size there is less to eat, but I would have had fruit all these years if I had planted a Fairchild instead of a Haden mango tree.
Pope mango is named for a horticulturist who worked for the experiment station. The tree is a seedling from one growing in Florida. It is consistently high-yielding and bears annually from July to August. Fruits are medium sized and rank second to Gouveia in taste quality.
Nam Doc Mai Mango is from Thailand. It is not on the University of Hawaii recommended list but is resistant/tolerant to Anthracnose. So is the Chinese mango that was so common many years ago. This latter mango is quite stringy, green skinned when ripe, and has a yellow flesh.
I will continue next time and will discuss propagation, planting, fertilizing, watering, and diseases.

Trees are effective tool against dust storms
Oklahoma Forestry Services have advice for farmers and others with large fields. Tree windbreaks work! Recently, a terrible dust storm shut down portions of Interstate 35 for several hours.
Foresters with Oklahoma Forestry Services were left wondering what happened to the windbreaks that used to keep most of the bare fields from blowing away. "Agriculture producers who had windbreaks in place didn't see the same devastation," said George Geissler, state forester. "Their fields had some protection from the trees and other permanent cover so they didn't lose their precious topsoil like the unprotected fields did."

My usual solo snow camping shelter is a MLD duo mid with bivy sack. But last year I started doing base camping so I started looking for an affordable, relatively lightweight 4 season tent. After examining Black Diamond single walls and various expensive Hilleberg tents, I decided to buy the String Ridge 2. Last February I camped in it for two nights at Horse Camp,Mt Shasta and one night near Brokeoff Mountain, Lassen National Park.The manufacturers' specs are:-List priceL $599-Trail Weight 5lb-Packed Weight 5lb 11oz-Footprint Weight 8oz-Fast Fly Weight 3lb 11oz-Packed Size 8" x 20"-Floor Area 31.5sq ft-Vestibule Area 11sq ft-Head Height 42"-Foot Height 22"On the plus side:-Affordable, especially with the REI discount and various on line sales-Lightweight @ 5 lbs-Very large vestibule that I could cook in if needed-Easy to set up-It comes with large stakes that can be rigged as deadman-Large rear window and vented vestibule control condensation-Hub and spoke pole construction looks strong for static snow loads-Large mesh pockets for storage along both sidesRoom for improvement-The tent is a little short. I am 6 ' 2" and there is about 12 inches of extra room. If I slide down a bit, my feet are touching the end of the tentOne minor quibble:The pole that holds up the vestibule is mechanically connected to the outer tent with a sleeve and two velco straps. So the outside front side guy lines are mechanically connected to the poles for stability when there is force on the tent from the side. In contrast, on each side the center cross pole is connected to the outer tent with just two small velcro straps. So the two side guy lines are connected mechanically to the pole by just these two velcro straps. I have no near term plans to take this tent above tree level for mountaineering. In high winds even 10 pound mountaineering tents will start to deform from the side and the side poles aided by the guy lines are the resisting force. I wonder how well these two velcro straps will hold in such conditions.
