• Anybody else get the feeling we're starting to see signs the last two weeks of the old, indifferent Randy Moss when it comes to his effort level? All I know is what my eyes tell me, but I've seen Moss pose less than a disruptive presence on two of Tom Brady's recent interceptions -- the one rookie Dolphins cornerback Vontae Davis snagged in the Miami end zone last week, and the one Carolina's Chris Gamble pilfered Sunday in the first quarter at the Patriots 48.
Moss just didn't fight for either ball, pretty much allowing the defender to make the play without him using his 6-foot-4 frame to increase the degree of difficulty of the catch. Moss was booed by the faithful at Gillette Stadium, and it didn't help his cause one bit that he fumbled away a first-half 16-yard catch.
Are those plays windows into Moss's soul and his current state of commitment level? Has he partially checked out in any way, convinced perhaps that New England's Super Bowl hopes are fading away? We can't know the answer to those questions, but it is worth noting that Moss was one of the four Patriots sent home Wednesday morning after arriving minutes late for a team meeting.
• The Patriots did what they had to do to scratch out an ugly 20-10 win over a Carolina team playing its backup quarterback, but these really don't look anything like the Patriots that have largely dominated this NFL decade.
I will say this: Tom Brady made a very good decision in the third quarter when he decided to throw the ball only to Wes Welker. Brady completed 19 of 34 passes in the game for 192 yards and a touchdown. But all but 10 of his completions went to the dependable Welker, who produced 105 yards and now is the fourth player in NFL history with three consecutive 100-catch seasons.
Given the funk that Moss appears to be in, I would expect Brady to continue to target Welker on at least half of his passes.
• What a stunner, Adalius Thomas being ruled inactive Sunday after daring to publicly question the wisdom of Bill Belichick's methods of coaching discipline. Bye-bye, Adalius. If you thought being sent home on Wednesday was embarrassing, then you probably won't like sitting the pine the rest of the year and being sent packing this offseason.
Then again, the problem with Thomas for the past three seasons in New England has been that even when he's active, he's not very active.
• Speaking of veteran free-agent acquisitions who have done little to earn their money in New England, Shawn Springs actually started at cornerback for the Patriots against Carolina, his first action in a month.
Alas, his luck didn't hold. He briefly left the game with an injury, then returned in time to surrender a 41-yard Matt Moore touchdown pass to Steve Smith.
• Another week, another fourth-down call that went awry for the Patriots. We get it, Bill. You like to go for it on fourth down. But stop trying to prove it every chance you get.• What has gotten into Laurence Maroney? He looks like a real NFL running back these days. Running north and south, lowering his shoulder for extra yardage, catching the ball out of the backfield. Where's that been the last three years or so?

Do News Feeds Help Search Engine Optimization?
A misconception among those involved in search engine optimization for their own websites is that news feeds will drastically help their search engine ranking. This is a partial fact.
It is true; using an RSS feed to bring in frequently updated content helps out a little. It offers a valuable benefit to your visitors as well as a minor benefit to your search engine ranking. However, for optimal performance, make sure your SEO company is always adding new original content to your website.
Another misconception is that your website needs to constantly be changing. That is not true. Your website needs to constantly be growing. Adding unique content (content you write or content written exclusively for your company) can achieve this element and ultimately make your website look more substantial, thus resulting in a better ranking.
To learn more about search engine optimization and search engine marketing, contact search engine optimization company, Adviatech.com at 1.800.728.5306.

The E-Bugster is a concept with dual roles. When it first appeared at the Detroit show (and later in Beijing without a roof) its job was to prepare us for the Beetle Cabriolet, but it also previews a two-seater Beetle-based speedster that's heading for production.
The Bugster's platform is borrowed from the Beetle cabrio, but with 30mm wider tracks front and rear. It's also lower than the new Beetle by 90mm and features a smaller and more inclined windscreen. The two-seater layout is partly to create a classic roadster look, but also because the lithium ion batteries in this electric concept are placed behind the front seats.
Inside, there's a black and white colour scheme with bucket seats and a horizontally mounted iPad in the dash. A power meter shows the instantaneous demand on the battery, remaining range and intensity of battery regeneration. The electric drive system was first created for the VW Golf EV so gets the same 113bhp and 270Nm of torque.
The first thing we noticed is this is a very close to production concept car – unlike other concepts the door closes with a satisfying thud. On the move there were no rattles or squeaks.
Find some corners and it feels relatively light (it's just 120 kg heavier than a comparable Beetle 1.4 TSI) and well balanced, although we were limited to just 25mph on our test route. Even so, the suspension tuning was quite sporty and the brakes, taken from the Audi TT-RS felt strong.
Right now there are customer clinics underway to determine the feasibility of this fun car. If they give it the thumbs up, the first VW Roadster could be given the green light within the next 12 months.
`How Silly!
Very much a pre- production machine, limited to 25m.p.h. yet AE gives it 5 stars!!! AE will have to start all over again to convince the world that they are not a VW parrot. The rating is almost as silly as the name itself which is bound to be "modified" by mickey taking Britons. Five stars for a daft name certainly.
What Numpty was let loose in Photoshop to produce these images?
VW should produce the Bugster, but fer cryin' out loud, make it a gasoline powered version.
Very nice indeed
Super Bug, very cool car!
The electric motor would fit easily into the 'boot'. Doing this would bring some practicability back to the beetle as you would now be using the 'engine compartment' as luggage space, might appeal to the traditional beetle design too.
That would make it rear wheel drive also which would be a benefit if they're trying to sell it as a roadster. Good potential, but I'm guessing it's just going to be a front wheel drive bog standard over priced VW

Motorola to develop Java ME stack under Apache
In news that is sure to drive further the fragmentation issues of development using Java ME, Motorola has announced that it is going to develop its version of Java ME under the Apache license. As the report says: "it's not clear whether the Motorola and Sun projects are complementary or competing". I can't understand if Motorola is legally authorized to create a product called Java ME when Sun is the legal owner, even though it is being open sourced? Can anybody clarify this?
The timing is absolutely wrong and the aim seems foggy. Sun has just open sourced Java ME, so why develop a conflicting product, even under the ambit of Apache? The stated aim is to reduce device fragmentation. Ha! By developing a different base API to Sun's Java ME? How will that work? Not only will developers have to content with the established device fragmentation issues, this will introduce another layer of complexity and API fragmentation. Have you tested on Sun's Java ME based devices? Have you tested on Apache Java ME based devices?
The truth seems to be a marketing push to garner respectability within the Java ME development community to push Motorola and create a Motorola-centric development ecosystem.
"Although we are not aware of Sun's open-source plans, we would hope Sun would join in this effort," said Mark VandenBrink, a senior director and chief platform architect in Motorola Mobile Devices business.
Huh? Who, within the community, is not aware of Sun's open-source plans?

(Lailani, Phoenix)Madison Scott is a pornstar who was born In Tempe and raised in Chandler, Arizona mostly by her father. She is a very petite girl standing barely over 5 feet tall and weighing only 90 pounds. When she started her career in her early twenties she had already become a mother and it was a great way to earn good money to pay for everything she needed. Early in her career she was all natural but later she had breast augmentation surgery. One of Madison's first film appearances was in "Rookie Pussy 2" from Evil Angel studios. Her scene is the last one in the movie and her partners are Faye Runaway and Derrick Pierce. It's a hot threesome scene with a lot of girl on girl action too. The two sexy ladies share his facial cumshot at the end of the scene. Madison also performs in a lot of lesbian scenes such as in "Anal Lesbian Sweethearts" in 2008. In the scene with Charlotte Vale the pair share a lollipop and use it on each others tits and pussies. They also take turns with a vibrator making each other have an orgasm before it's done. Madison Scott was still attending college as her career was underway and she gave an interview about a year in. She was very proud of the fact that she was able to find such a nicely paying occupation to care for herself and her daughter. She began a couple of charities as a way to allow porn performers to donate to good causes without being apprehensive about revealing their profession. Ms. Scott is not worried about what she does for a living because as she said she's the one in control. If and when her career comes to an end it'll be at her own choosing and until then if people don't care for adult entertainment, they don't need to watch it. After making 93 movies as well as appearing in numerous video scenes and photo galleries, Madison Scott did retire from the adult industry. Fans of petite girls with big tits will enjoy her scenes and pictures for a long time to come.

I attended my first ever Assets Learning Conference, put on by CFED last week, and I have to say it was mighty impressive.
And I was particularly pleased to see that economic justice and things like reforming the tax code to be less regressive and reward savings by low- and middle-income Americans, rather than mostly the already wealthy, were being given an important place next to what feels like the aset-building movement's bread and butter discussions of savings programs and financial education.

I'll be speaking at the Council on Contemporary Families spring conference at Augustana College on Friday and Saturday April 16th, 2010 on the topic : Stay or Go For the Sake of the Kids
Council on Contemporary Families Conference
4 Comments
Is there a conference in 2011 or in 2012?
Here is nice blog & good content. Thanks for sharing and link back to my site.
Thats what i was looking for a long time. I have to make a presentation at a congress in germany and this informations was what i need. Thx a lot.
If he were my kid… I wouldn't give him a lot of money in the first place. I wouldn't put him in the hospital to have him lock up. There was a sign… if my kid did lousy in school. I would make sure he got tutor and I would do whatever to make sure he does well in school. He wouldn't be a dropout. Because I have Treacher Collins Syndrome. I finished high school when I was age 20. I never gave up, even tho my teachers kept pushing me back. But I finally graduated from high school. I struggled 13 years in colleges. And I got 2 college degrees. I would tell my kid he has no reason, no excuse to drop out of school. Because if I can graduated with a diploma and 2 college degrees with my bad grammar and low IQ… then he can too.
His parents probably didn't help him much. His father is a LOSER, he doesn't have a job… but the mother has a job she is paying the bills and was taking care of 2 grown men. I don't think it is the kid's fault. I blame the parents. I very much believe they weren't good parents at all.
My father never took care of me when I was a child. He never paid child support. My mother claimed she kept him away from me and my older sister, because he never pay child support. My mother is driving me up the wall. She
keeps giving me money… She has never taught me to be independent. She even put me in tax form paper as dependent, so she can get more tax return. My sister hates me, despises me… my mother never taught her to be kind to me, she always allows my sister to go against me. My sister is pretty… she will never understand my situation…. My dad was a high school drop out and never kept a job longer. Now he is dead… at age 60. I am so glad he is gone… because he kept asking ME FOR MONEY!!!
So anyway… I moved to Los Angeles…. in 2008. I am doing whatever I can to stay in Los ANgeles. Yes I am conning. Because being honest won't get me anywhere. My mom told me to keep in contact with my Uncle and Aunt… so I did. My uncle and aunt think I am there in Los Angeles because of THEM. I am not. I am in Los ANgeles, close to Hollywood so I can make film. They really live about 2 hours away from Los Angeles, they live near Compton (carson city). They asked why I didn't live close near to them, (oh man they are flattering themselves). I asked my uncle and aunt to keep my mother's car there on the driveway… and they said okay. Then after I turned around, they damaged the windows and my side view window. They think I cursed their 2 daughters… they both died of cancer. I don't know any witchcraft. I only know some astrology, but astrology isn't witchcraft… SIGH. So I went to VR (Vocational Rehab) to help me get a job. And VR said that Goodwill will contact me for to get job training (paying)… so I am happy about that. So I went and got the car and I had to lie to the police that somebody vandalize my car… NO I won't tell on my Aunt and Uncle. So anyway… I took the car to the auto shop and told the insurance company the same story I told the police, but I pretended to be my mother, because it is my mother's insurance. Insurance company mailed me the insurance check… but the check was in my mother's name. I thought it was going to be directly to the auto shop. So I can't cash the check and I don't have $600 to pay for the repair. My mother accused me of damage the car.
I told her that my crazy Aunt and Uncle damaged the car, she doesn't believe her perfect CHRISTIAN Aunt and Uncle damage the car. But she thinks I the bad sheep of the family, imperfect, girl with a deformed face messed up the car.
My sister told me Nobody cares about me. and I should leave HER FAMILY ALONE!!!
So what I did was leave my mom's car at the body shop and I disconnected the phone…. because I know my mother love to call me almost everyday. I decided that it is unhealthy to be with them. They are messing up my head. Screwing up my life. It is better to stay away from those people.
JARED should have done the same thing…. I understand his situation. I really do. He is 22… and it is scary, that I would have been like him…. but I made the right choice at age 26, I went back to college. And study and study and study… 4 years later I got my 1st college degree in business, and 3 years later, I got my 2nd degree in film. So right now I will be concentrating on working at Goodwill, getting some job training and I will save up money to BUY MY OWN CAR with my name on MY TITLE. I will learn to be INDEPENDENT.
I haven't talk to my mom and family since January 10. I am 40 years old. Plus I will save money to make a film… and will submit my film to film festival. That is my dream and my goal!!!!
So you should have "What if THEY were your FAMILY?" post.

13th April 2000
The complete genome of the leprosy bacillus has been sequenced
The sequence of the entire genome of the bacillus causing leprosy has been determined in a collaborative effort between Stewart Cole's team at Institut Pasteur and the Sanger Centre in the Great Britain. As Stewart Cole will explain at the international meeting 'Genomes 2000' currently being held at Institut Pasteur, comparison of this sequence with that of the genome of the tuberculosis bacillus (entirely sequenced by the same two teams in 1998) will give valuable information about the two diseases. According to the WHO, there are more than 800 000 new cases of leprosy every year worldwide, and more than 2 million people currently suffer severe disabilities because of this disease.
Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease mostly affecting the skin, peripheral nerves, mucosa membranes of the upper respiratory tract and the eyes. The mutilations it causes result in lepers being rejected in many societies. Ninety-two percent of the known cases in the world are in only twelve countries. These most affected countries are: India, Brazil, Indonesia, Myanmar (Burma), Madagascar, Nepal, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Democratic Republic of Congo, Niger, Guinea and Cambodia. In France, about 250 people are treated for leprosy, and there are about 25 new cases a year, mostly in people from countries where the disease is endemic or Antilles, Guiana, Mayotte.
Sequencing the genome of the leprosy bacillus (Mycobacterium leprae) was a priority both for research into the disease and for its control. The collaboration between the Bacterial Molecular Genetics Unit at Institut Pasteur, directed by Stewart Cole, and the Pathogen Genome Sequencing Unit at the Sanger Centre (UK), directed by Bart Barrell, started in 1996. This sequencing project was financed by the Heiser Program for Research in Leprosy and Tuberculosis of the New York Community Trust, and the Association Raoul Follereau.
The entire sequence of the genome of the bacillus Mycobacterium leprae is now available to research scientists. Comparisons with the tuberculosis bacillus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, have already started. The genetic make-up of these two bacilli are very similar: the similarity of some groups of genes is as high as 93%. However, the M. leprae genome is 3.2 Mb, which is smaller than the 4.4 Mb of M. tuberculosis. The leprosy bacillus seems to have 'got rid of' non-essential genes. This may explain its slow growth, which makes culturing the bacillus in the laboratory very difficult. This in turn greatly hinders research on this bacterium and thus work on the disease it causes. The comparison of the two genomes may lead to the identification of growth factors, absent from M. leprae, which could facilitate research and would be very useful for the production of vaccines. In contrast, other genes in M. leprae are not found in M. tuberculosis: these genes may lead to the development of diagnostic tools for dermatological tests to detect leprosy. Such tools would be valuable as the earlier the disease is detected, the better the treatment. These genes only found in M. leprae may also confer particular properties, for example its neurotropism resulting in the degradation of nerves. The comparative approach being used is expected to identify new therapeutic targets and facilitate the rational development of drugs for treating leprosy.
Note that although current chemotherapy is effective, it is both expensive and extremely impractical as it requires daily administration of a combination of antibiotics for 6 months (for mild cases) to more than 12 months.

The DNA of every living organism is made up of four chemical 'bases' represented by the letters A, C, G, and T.
The bases are paired together, A with T and C with G to produce double-stranded DNA in the familiar helix. The number
of base-pairs varies from a few thousand for the smallest viruses to several billions for complex organisms. The DNA
sequence of base-pairs contains all the instructions to make an organism: decoding that set of instructions is the
heart of a sequencing project.
The order of the bases (the sequence of DNA) provides the instructions for the functions of the cell. By understanding the order of bases, researchers gain a better understanding of normal and disease processes.

Their bond was unbreakable. The truth was unimaginable. When Beatrice receives a call to say that her sister, Tess, is missing, she boards the first flight home. But as she learns about Tess's disappearance, she is stunned to discover how little she actually knows of her sister's life. Everyone around her accepts they have lost Tess, but Beatrice refuses to give up, embarking on a dangerous journey to discover the shocking truth, whatever the cost...

"Kept me guessing and kept pulling at my heart."
I love it when there's a plot I think I've got all figured out- one where I am just listening to a nicely told tale of things I know will unfold. But this one I couldn't guess at no matter how hard I tried. I was stumped right up until the final chapter, which bothered the control freak in me. And while it's a great mystery, it's also an emotional tale that kept pulling at different places in my heart (I'm a big sister, and a mother). The characters are rich and complicated, no one is completely perfect or completely awful. I kept myself busy with extra chores so I could finish listening to it; my house longs for me to find books like this.
This is a debut novel for Ms. Lupton, and I'm looking forward to the sequel, Afterwards.
It is entirely worth a spent credit.
"Sad but insightful story"
I ordered this book because I have a sister, a twin, that I adore and because it sounded like an interesting mystery. I enjoyed the authors writing and insight into sisterly love and connection. The story was almost unbearably sad, however. The narrator read this book well but painfully slowly. I was desperate to speed it up; not only in time but also to lighten the unbearable sorrow of the story. The sadness of it makes me want to hug my sister and I know it will take a long time to shake the story and the feeling that I'm left with.
"intriguing, mysterious, literary"
This just might be the best book I've ever downloaded.
A sister dies and her sister works endlessly to find out why. The twists and turns are perfectly placed and perfectly timed. I fell in love with the characters, especially the mother. Their pain, their sorrow, their remembrances brought me to tears more than once, but it isn't just a downer...I laughed out loud a few times and might have even cheered once or twice! The story kept me completely engaged; I was on the edge of my seat by book's end.
The narration was fantastic. Fantastic.
I learned of this book through a review in the New York Times and was so glad to find it on audible.
"Very skillful thriller"
A very well-written, well-plotted and well-narrated thriller. I am hoping for Emily Blunt and Carey Mulligan in the movie.
"Enjoyed every second of this book."
I have listened to audiobooks for years, and don't give many glowing reviews but this deserves it. The book was well written (the ending really surprised me) and well narrated. Definitely worth your time.
Gets off to a slightly slow start, but keep listening! The story is a tightly woven mystery with vivid characters (could do without the mother) and the ending is outstanding. Better writing than usual in a mystery novel...especially the ending.
"Plotless, dreary, boring"
Couldn't get into this book, which is well-written but lacks key elements such as plot and movement. The main character talks to her dead sister throughout the book, an approach that some readers might find poetic, but just didn't work for me. Among the most boring books I've downloaded from Audible.
"OMG......this book's ending frustrated me...."
....to no end!!!!.....I am going to assume this was the author's plan......to make an ending that will tick you off enough to keep you thinking about the book for days after reading it and eventually bringing yourself to liking it more than you initially thought you did.....I felt this book was really slow in the beginning and was getting restless waiting for the good stuff to happen and just when I would be ready to give up....something intriguing would be dangled in front of me and I would keep on reading.....it does keep you guessing but I did figure out who the killer was early on.....but the DANG ending.....OMG......FRUSTRATION!!!!........
"A surprising twist"
Not sure what to think of it at first, the author almost lost me in the last third of the book but just as I was thinking "here we go again with yet another way too predictable ending" the story spun round and got me hooked again, guessing to the very end. The narration was excellent and I'm glad I stuck with the story till its finish.
"Good Read"
I felt that this book was very well written. Good character development. Good mystery. Well developed plot. It wasn't a spell binding page turner but it was a very good read.
The way the story of the past was written in the present in a format of a letter to the dead sister was a unique presentation.
"Sooooo gooood!"
This is a wonderful novel. I really liked it. It is more than a story of sisters, it is more than a crime story and it is more than a story of love and loss. The story twists and turns and is well written. You can not stop listening because you have to find out what has happened and what IS happening. I also liked the narrator. She read well and had a nice voice.
"Brilliant story with many unexpected outcomes"
Beatrice is not an easy person to warm to or like (an interesting angle which works well) but by mid book that completely turns around. I loved this story and look forward to more by Rosamund Lupton.
"Drawn out"
I didn't enjoy this audio. Narration let a strong story down. I will listen again, but I was just glad to get to the end of this story. A few twists along the way kept me going.
"Disquieting and heartbreaking"
I loved this book. It manages to be both a crime mystery and a quietly devastating portrait of grief. There were moments when I was close to tears. And yet the emotions are bound tightly to the plot, and the further in you go, the more uncomfortable events and perceptions become. This effect is helped by a clever, rather than gimmicky, use of its narrative structure. It totally avoids cliche and the writing at times is startlingly beautiful. I struggled with Juanita Mahon's voices of the characters other than the narration, but that's a minor point. The more I have thought about it now I have finished, the richer it has become. It seems a diservice to classify it as `crime' as the quality of writing takes it beyond genre.
This book starts well but promises more than it delivers - overall it's slow paced, dull and has an ending that is easily guessed.
"some memorable observations but not stand out"
This book was let down by the narrator but I'm not sure this was a great book to start with. It's the first time I've felt rather let down by an audible book and I find it hard to recommend. Perhaps it is because I'd just finished 'The Help' which I thought was brilliantly written and brilliantly narrated and therefore was a hard act to follow, neverthless...
I like great writing but I can equally be hooked by a darn good plot, even if it isn't world class literature. This book does have some truly memorable observations, some that stay with you for a day or two. Sometimes these are about sisterhood, sometimes about grief or something completely random like watching a scary movie. Little diamonds which are book's best feature. So despite what I suspect I will go on to write, I'm glad I read it for these alone.
The casting of the narrator was poor. I don't know how old the main character Beatrice is but I would guess late 30's at the very most. I don't know the narrator either but I'd guess from her voice she was older, in her 50's perhaps. Poor casting got in the way of making this character believable. Then there simply wasn't enough variety in the other character voices. Perhaps it was a lack of recording time but that doesn't forgive an incredibly bad American accent for the character of Tod. However, this is not simply a case of narrator spoiling book. The book for the first 2 1/3rds held attention and I was impressed at how much of the mystery was able to be retained. However, by the last 1/3rd I began to feel manipulated and almost bullied through the plot and when it finally ended, totally exasperated by the way it did end. For obvious reasons, not going to describe.
I take away from this book some really memorable observations but I wouldn't honestly recommend it as a must listen to audible download.
"A great listen"
Though a little frustrating at first with a slow start, I was soon hooked. The twists and turns of the story took me in all sorts of directions but it wasn't until the last moments of the book that it all fell into place - brilliant. A highly recommended listed.
"Loved this book"
Fantastic book that has kept me spellbound right to the end. Have listened whilst doing the housework and in between looking after the kids and can't recommend thoroughly enough for being to pick up and put down.
Ms. Lupton was a completely unknown writer to me, but I will be looking for her books in future! I won't tell what the story is about, you can read that in the blurb, but I enjoyed it from first to last. It also had a very surprising twist at the end. The narrator does a perfect job in rendering this story even more unforgettable. A very well earned five-star! Don't miss it!
"Bit monotonous in places"
The story is interesting and originally presented. Reading was good. I'd had enough of it by the time the end came, though.

I just scored the Feed tote for me and the Party Shimmer Brick for my friend Libs! Weee!
11/9/11 13:03 Ekta:
Thanks for the reminder. Almost forgot about this but picked up the party shimmer brick and the 20th anniversary lip palette!
11/9/11 13:45 Tammie:
I wish the Shimmer Brick (not the party one) didn't come with that brush! I'm super duper interested in Shimmer Bricks (the finish is THE most flattering on me…so i am trying to collect all similar ones, starting with Dior) so I got excited when i saw there was one on Gilt, but the brush makes it more expensive and I don't even want it darnit! Just had to vent
11/9/11 14:12 Tammie:
I will, there are like 3-4 I want ugh I just meant I wish that since it was on Gilt it was the Shimmer Brick alone for cheaper than retail~.
11/9/11 14:17 Tammie:
I can't, I can only afford one thing and I'm going to get the similar Dior shimmer powder, which I've been obsessing about for 2 weeks almost! I'll just be a good girl and get some Shimmer Bricks slowly later :). The price isn't TOO terrible.
11/9/11 14:33 Tammie:
It's a permanent thing you probably have the same Dior shimmer powder: http://www.dior.com/beauty/usa/en/makeup/face/powder/ultra-shimmering-all-over-face-powder/py0719200.html
11/9/11 14:53 Tammie:
Ahh gotcha :). I'm glad to hear you like this one! I can't wait to get it…I've been drooling over it so much lately but I've been patient because it's quite pricey for a powder (for me) so I figured I'd wait until the sale I knew was coming up :). I'm totally addicted to this type of shimmer right now.

The need for multilingual skills has risen over the past years. Children in school are starting to concentrate more on foreign languages. International business is one of the reasons why foreign languages have been such a sought after skill set. Business people have to travel across the globe for one reason or the other. It is always easier for business if people are able to communicate with each other efficiently. This is not always easy with so many different languages out there. There are instances when the language of communication is one that can be understood by the majority. In other cases, there is a need for a translator
More Convenience
Technology has made translation of languages easy as it has everything else. Now there are devices that people can use to get languages translated. There are electronic translation devices that one can use anywhere they are. This is one of the biggest advantages of the devices. They are made to be portable and that means one can carry them around. This makes it very convenient for travel. Whether one is traveling to a foreign country for business or pleasure, there is a need for communication. Having an electronic device that helps with the translation anytime, anywhere is a big advantage.
Electronic devices are fast. The way they are designed is that they use an already existing database. All they have to do is to fetch from that. It only takes a few seconds to get back the translation for a certain word or phrase. This saves time and energy. Compare this to when people had to carry printed dictionaries. A dictionary only has words to word translations. This means that if one wanted to construct whole sentence, they would have to find how the different words fit first. This takes time to do and therefore makes communication in a foreign language awkward. With an electronic device all one has to do is key in what they want translated.
Translating multiple foreign languages
Electronic translators also come with another benefit; they can translate multiple languages. One can buy just the one device. A single electronic device can be used to translate more than two languages. This is cheaper compared to buying several bilingual dictionaries. It would be up to the individual to decide what kind of electronic translator they need. The size of the database is also something else that is different in these devices. There are some that will have a limited database. These are suitable for pleasure travel. When one is visiting a foreign country just for some alone time, then they wouldn't have extensive communication going on. This means one could do with a limited database.
Even though they are cheaper than professional translation services, electronic translators still cost a pretty penny compared to other modes of translation available like dictionaries. The need, however will determine if the device is required. In this age of smart phones, there are so many applications that people have on their phones. There are applications for translations that can just be downloaded on a smart phone device. There are also online and offline multilingual dictionaries that one could use for their foreign communication needs. There is a lot to consider before buying an electronic handheld device. The point is that they do make for convenient communication when needed.

I've been out to Ravenstones a few times recently, to try a moorland gritstone project. Ravenstones is a crag quite out of the way so a limited amount of people actually go up there.
I'd been up there in the rain to brush down this project. I went back on my own the other day in a batch of good weather and the friction was amazing, maybe some of the best I'd ever felt on grit. I managed to toprope the line a number of times but didn't have anybody else with me or a belayer so felt that I couldn't really commit to the line at a place so out the way.

"What we think is going on is, when you kill the tumor, the body doesn't know it's the tumor being killed," Karin said. "It responds to it like there is tissue injury, a wound or something like that."
White blood cells called B-cells infiltrate the tumor and release a substance called lymphotoxin, a protein that kills infected cells. The research team found that exposure to lymphotoxin promoted the development of cancer cells resistant to hormone therapy. Interfering with the inflammatory response delayed the development of castration-resistant cancer.
"It's somewhat counterintuitive, that the death of these androgen-resistant cells somehow contributes to androgen resistance," said Dr. Durado Brooks, director of prostate and colorectal cancer for the American Cancer Society.
The finding could be key in developing a means to delay or stop the development of therapy-resistant secondary tumors. Until now, research into this resistance has focused on the role that the cells' androgen receptors play in the process. But researchers now can also consider controlling inflammation as another way to delay resistance.
Don't expect anything useful for humans anytime soon. Researchers will have to first make sure that human prostate cancer responds in the same way that the cancer did in mice.
"There's going to have to be a lot more work done to clarify that the mechanisms in humans are the same as those they have identified in mouse prostate cancer," Brooks said. "It's going to be quite a while before this mouse model moves to the bedside and actual clinical practice, if it ever does."
But if the findings do transfer to humans, this new understanding of the role of inflammation in prostate cancer treatment could help

Interesting take on the idea of Social Media (as coined by BlogOn), but I'd like to throw out my view after attending the conference and talking with many of the attendees and presenters:
This whole idea is just the next step in the progression of Online Communities. There are new tools which allow community members to discuss their ideas without waiting for a sponsored site to provide them a space. HOWEVER, what I saw seriously lacking was any learning or knowledge transfer from the best practices of Online Community techniques including promotion (RSS doesn't qualify), moderation, analysis of content, building trust through blogging, and measuring the impact of your efforts.
I don't want to say the king has no clothes, but the only thing new here is tools. Perhaps I missed something, but we're not breaking open a new space, we're simply giving people another option and tool to communicate on line. Will it change the world? No. Will it be a lasting communication tool or will it go the way of Chatrooms? Only time will tell.
Please feel free to engage me with your viewpoint if you think I am off my rocker.

It was a business conference, not the best place to pick up shared practices.
3. Mike Rowland on July 26, 2004 12:01 PM writes...
Umm, the whole idea of business conferences is to not only learn about tools but to network and learn what others are doing. Otherwise it is just a glorified sales presentation. Perhaps that is all that BlogOn aspires to be, but the advertising is different and there certainly were enough panels and sessions to discuss 'business issues' that failed to do so.
Btw, I also believe that your solution is about the only one that makes commercial sense now that I've played around with it.
Good Luck,

Let us watch your model in the
making, from when you open the kit to air-borne! Don't feel you have to
chronicle every step, unless you want to. Just send an occasional
picture or two and an explanatory note and we can catch up with your
progress from time to time on this page. It will only appear when
there's something to report and we can keep as many projects going as
you wish. I must reserve the right to select and crop pictures, though, otherwise
the page will take too long to download.
Here's the beginnings of Derick's build
of the CSD Radar. The model is a geared Speed 400 fun fly. It is
Derick's first kit and he says he is very much enjoying building it.
Keep us posted, please, Derick!
mate Chris Haines built himself an Xtreme some time ago, since
when two more have appeared at the club (including one Xtreme Lite,
pictured on photo gallery). With rumours of the
original model
becoming increasingly difficult to obtain and Hobby Stores offering the
kit at £20 off the original price of £64.99, he purchased a second
one. However, after virtually completing the construction and for
reasons best known to himself (maybe related to the item below?), Chris decided he did not want to complete
the model after all and offered it to me for £30.
Now, I
have to admit that this was not what I had in mind for my next
building project and my flying ability is certainly not up to the
standard required to put it through its aerobatic capabilities that others
demonstrate so well at the club, but I was simply unable to resist the
temptation of what was on offer!
As you see, there is not very much
construction left to do, although I have yet to pick it up from where
Chris left off. I have the radio gear from my crashed Kite that I can
use in the model, although I'm not sure if the Irvine ·46 is repairable
- it looks as though only the needle valve needs replacing, but that has
yet to be determined - I'll have to have a word with my friend Jim!.
is what Chris is now building - the Staudacher S-300 GS from a Carl
Goldberg kit.
The model has a 60" wingspan and an
overall length of 48·5 inches and will weigh in at 6·5 to 7·5
Recommended engine sizes are ·45 - ·61
2-stroke or ·46 - ·80 4-stroke. Chris is actually thinking of putting
something bigger in, and here he asks if anyone reading this has
built this kit, what size engine did you instal and what has been your
experience with it? If you do have a comment, please e-mail Reg at ModelFlight
- there's an e-mail link at the foot of the page.
Chris has made a good and pretty rapid
start on the project. Below you can see the very sturdy, boxy all-ply
fuselage construction and progress on the wing which he has achieved
over the last week..
We will continue to watch this project
through to completion.

Sykes-Picot unraveling
The thrice-promised land it has been called. It is that land north of Mecca and Medina and south of Anatolia, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf.
In 1915, Britain, to win Arab support for its war against the Ottoman Turks, committed to the independence of these lands under Arab rule. In November 1917, however, Lord Balfour, in a letter to Baron Rothschild, declared that His Majesty's government now looked with favor upon the creation on these same lands of a national homeland for the Jewish people.
Between these clashing commitments there had been struck in 1916 a secret deal between Britain's Mark Sykes and France's Francois Georges-Picot. With the silent approval of czarist Russia, these lands were subdivided and placed under British and French rule. France got Syria and Lebanon. Britain took Transjordan, Palestine and Iraq, and carved out Kuwait.
Vladimir Lenin discovered the Sykes-Picot treaty in the czar's archives and published it, so the world might see what the Great War was truly all about. Sykes-Picot proved impossible to reconcile with Woodrow Wilson's declaration that he and the Allies were all fighting "to make the world safe for democracy."
Imperial hypocrisy stood naked and exposed. And it was out of the implementation of Sykes-Picot that so much Arab hostility and hatred would come.
The Sykes-Picot map of the Middle East seems about to undergo revision, and a new map emerges, along the lines of what H.G. Wells called "natural borders."
"There is a natural and necessary political map of the world," Wells wrote, "which transcends" these artificial states, and this natural map of mankind would see nations established on the basis of language, culture, creed, race and tribe. The natural map of the Middle East has begun to assert itself.
Syria is disintegrating, with Alawite Shia fighting Sunni, Christians siding with Damascus, Druze divided, and Kurds looking to break free and unite with their kinfolk in Turkey, Iraq and Iran.
Shia Hezbollah controls the south of Lebanon and, with Shia Iran, is supporting the Shia-led army of Bashar Assad. They are carving out a sub-nation from Damascus to Homs to the Mediterranean. The east and north of Syria could be lost to the Sunni rebels and the Al-Nusra Front, an ally of al-Qaida.
Sectarian war is spilling over into Lebanon.
Iraq, too, seems to be disintegrating. The Kurdish enclave in the north is acting like an independent nation, cutting oil deals with Ankara. Sunni Anbar in the west is supporting Sunni rebels in Syria. The Shia regime in Baghdad is being scourged by Sunni terror.
Seeing the Shia crescent imperiled by the potential loss of its Syrian linchpin, Tehran and Hezbollah seem willing to risk far more in this Syrian war than does the Sunni coalition of Saudis, Qataris and Turks.
Who dares, wins.
Though the Turks have a 400,000-man, NATO-equipped army, a population three times that of Syria and an economy 12 times as large, they appear to want the Americans to deal with their problem. President Obama is to be commended for resisting interventionist clamors to get us into yet another open-ended war. For we have no vital interest in Assad's overthrow.
As the Sykes-Picot borders disappear and the nations created by the mapmakers of Paris in 1919-20 disintegrate, a Muslim Thirty Years' War may be breaking out in the thrice-promised land.
It is not, and it should not become, America's war.

Endnotes 3:
Gender, race, class and other misfortunes September 2013
Gender, race, class and other misfortunes September 2013
248 pages | £10.00/$15 (including shipping) | ISBN: 978-0-9933699-2-6
Past, present and future of the Endnotes project.
Since 2007, states have been forced to undertake extraordinary actions. Bailouts have shifted private debts onto public balance sheets. And the world's central banks are spending billions of dollars, every month, to convince capital to invest in a trickle. So far these state interventions have managed to stall the unfolding crisis. Yet its petrification has been the petrification of class struggle. Like the crisis itself, the struggles of 2011–2013 entered a holding pattern, unable to venture beyond the weak unity—defined by anti-austerity, anti-police, and anti-corruption sentiments—that was established in the movement of the squares.
Marxist-feminists have employed a number of binary oppositions: productive/reproductive, paid/unpaid and public/private. We interrogate these categories and propose new ones. Starting from the specificities of the production and reproduction of labour-power, we define gender as the anchoring of individuals into two separate spheres of social reproduction. We trace the development of these spheres through the history of the capitalist mode of production, and survey the dynamics of gender in the recent crisis, which we characterize as a rise of the abject.
A reading of the 2011 England riots and British student movement against a backdrop of decades-long social processes of abjection, class decomposition and the tendential disintegration of the wage relation.
An inquiry into the consequences of "the logistics revolution" for contemporary struggles. In light of the disaggregation and diffusion of productive capacity across the globe, direct seizure of the means of production no longer describes an implementable project for the majority of proletarians. New horizons and prospects materialise.
Without taking identity, cultural difference, or normative "privilege" as fundamental categories of anti-racist analysis, this article sketches a racial genealogy of superfluous populations as a constitutive feature of the emergence and spatial expansion of capitalism. The possibility of abolishing "race" as superfluity is therefore bound to contemporary anti-capitalist struggles, and vice-versa.
How can we recover the key concepts of revolutionary theory today, that is, after the end of the workers' movement? We offer the following reflections on three concepts — spontaneity, mediation, rupture — as an attempt to re-fashion the core of revolutionary theory, for our times. By taking cognisance of the gap that separates us from the past, we hope to extract from past theories something of use to us in the present.

In response to rkarp's comment:
I simply think that the Colts see something in him, and acknowledge they need an OL upgrade before they close anything on TR. To call this a collosal blunder is absurd. TR was with out question the top rated RB in his draft, and deserving of his first round grade. He is counting against the cap this year at $2.2M, certainly a worthwhile gamble.
It is also kind of funny with all of the draft mistakes the Pats have made with high draft choices, and a reluctance to part ways with those mistakes (Bequette, Wilson, RasI, to namke a few) that this fan base calls out the Colts. It seems this fan base indicates that it is ok for BB to miss on some choices, as the team is winning 12 games per year. But it is not ok for the Colts to miss, even though they are winning 11 per year.

Looking at buying a WM Hot Sachttp://www.moosejaw.com/moosejaw/shop/product_Western-Mountaineering-Hot-Sac-VBL_10016934_10208_10000001_-1_?cm_mmc=Affiliate-_-AvantLink-_-na-_-3816_0_ale_0&ad_id=Avant&avad=3816_0_ale_0Then I was remembering a friend of mine who would take two Hefty Lawn bags, cut the bottom off one, duct tape them together and use it as his bivy. It occurred to me this could be a vbl in my bag if I could gather it up around my neck.Having limited experience with a vbl, does anyone know why this Hefty bag contraption would not work as a vbl in my sleeping bag (ie. serve as a poor man's WM Hot Sac)?Thanks in advance for any thoughts....
The hefty bag option would function as a vapor barrier. This is the equiv is using latex gloves as VB gloves or sandwich bags as VB socks. With all three options the primary issue is durability and maybe getting a comfortable fit.--mark
First, what Mark said. Will definitely work, but durability and comfort (particularly w/Hefty sleeping bag liner). If you haven't used VBL before, it'd be a cheap way to try it out. I own a Hotsac and love it. One additional benefit of the Hotsac is the aluminized material preventing reflective heat loss. The material also feels nice, "layers" easily, and is generally quite easy to work with. I even carry the Hotsac as an emergency bivy on some day trips, and it's a great way to take my 30*F bag down to 15 or 20*F. Go for it!
I think this subject has been discussed before, but I'd like to hear some new advice/experiences. I'm expanding my BP season to include colder temps. Are VBs as effective/necessary as some suggest for below dew point temps?
Brad:Thanks for your reply. A couple of questions/comments:1) I've used a buddy's VBL - he thought it was an Integral Designs but it looked like a military issue item. I about burned alive in it with my 0 degree bag in 20 degree weather. I slept with my clothes on. I really wonder if it was just a simple military bivy - what I do know is that it didnt' breath2) Your last statement helped me a great deal - I have been trying to ascertain how much it would boost my WM Highlite. Thanks.3) What do you wear when you're in your Hot Sac? When I used my buddy's he told me to strip down but I just didn't want to do that - I ended up sweating through my underclothes. Just curious what you wear.4) Basically I'm down to a) should I buy a hot sac to boost my bag rating to a winter rating OR b) should I buy a MB Alpine Parka and wear it in my bag to boost the rating (and have it as a "around camp" insulating item).Any thoughts on these appreciated. Thanks to all for the posts so far.....
Edited by VanGo on 12/05/2008 11:35:15 MST.
I always use VBL gear in the winter when it's well below 32F/0C. However, I have a slightly different approach - I use VBL clothing rather than a VBL sleeping bag liner. Since I may have to sleep in my insulated clothing to extend the range of my bag (and for general comfort reasons getting up in the middle of the night) I use VBL pants and jacket over my long underwear and under everything else. This way, anything I'm wearing stays dry, as well as my bag. Plus, I put it on as soon as I hit camp, so I'm using it for much longer than when I'm sleeping.Take a look at this company for VBL clothing: http://www.rbhdesigns.com/
Don, have you or anyone else here used Gore N2S as your VBL layers? I saw them in MEC recently and was thinking of them vs. a silinylon suit.
I would *assume* that a Gore product is breathable, which would mean it *wouldn't* be a good VBL. Stephenson's WarmLight still makes VBL clothing, as does RBH, but not many others do.
Hey-I wear a thin layer of merino wool--prefer Patagonia wool 2, but the 150-190 weight Icebreaker is good, too. I've noticed no difference in speed of drying between thin wool vs. synthetic layers when I keep either of them on.As far as Hotsac vs MB parka, not quite a "fair" comparison. Remember, one significant advantage of the VBL is preventing evaporative heat loss--and in so doing, keeping your bag dry. The number one way of getting a bag wet is sweating in it... So for boosting your temp rating and overall "bag maintenance," I'd go with the VBL. Now, you'd still want a poofy down parka for around camp, and you could layer that blanket-style between the Hotsac and sleeping bag if needed. VBL clothing does have the mentioned advantage of being able to layer over w/worn clothing...Oh, and to second the "when to use" comment, I bring the VBL on any trip expected to be freezing or lower, FWIW.
Brad:Thanks for your comments. Looks like buying both is best. I have a parka but it's getting some years on it and weighs a whopping 2lbs - warm though.Thanks.
I have found that a vapor barrier adds significant warmth when used in the west, but adds little or no warmth when used in the east. I guess you don't lose much heat to evaporation in the damp east.It is valuable in preventing the moisture that your body naturally gives off during the night from being absorbed by your bag. It also results in less moisture within your tent.The reflective coating on the Western Mountaineering vapor barrier doesn't add any warmth when it is used inside a sleeping bag, but does add warmth when the vapor barrier is used alone as an emergency shelter (which still leaves you cold).I find a vapor barrier comfortable even above freezing. Even if I wear warm clothes under the vapor barrier the only moisture I find is a thin layer on my skin.Putting on vapor barrier clothes under all but your bottom layer when you reach camp is a great idea, long ago suggested by the founder of warmlite, which I will try, probably in barrier clothes from rbhdesigns.Sleeping in something thick and warm like a down parka only adds warmth if it has room to remain think within your sleeping bag. It only really works well under a quilt.
Hadn't thought much of the vbl and the humid east coast. I figured I got drenched during my last use b/c of too high a bag, too many clothes, and too warm a climate. Humidity in the east is a secondary presumption. It's always there but I haven't given it much thought.Thanks for your input.
I'm looking at using VB as clothing as well rather than the WM hotsac so I can wear my insulation over it. Since I'm carrying the insulation belay & pants anway, seems a shame not to be able to wear it.However, I find the warmlite & RBH stuff too expensive and too heavy for something I will only use occassionally in deep winter & end up carrying in my pack during the day when brought.So I'm looking at silnylon stuff for the weight & cost savings. The Brawny raingear sold here at BPL looks like it has drawstrings to tighten around, so one could ostensibly get a smaller size & use is solely as VBL clothing. At 6oz and lower price feels like a better solution.Anyone tried this or have any similar suggestions along these lines?Tx...
Praveen - good question... I've been wonder the same thing. Hopefully someone here has experience with these as a VB.
Stephenson's 'fuzzy stuff' is wonderful VBL and rainproof fabric. At 2.2oz per yard it is twice as heavy as silnylon, but WAY more comfortable...
Would a GoLite Windshirt as as a semi-vbl? I dunno - new to this stuff for the most part.....
The Warmlite (Stephenson) VB shirt is $25, the pants are $39; shipping to MN cost me about $4.. If I had to do it again, I would have bought only the shirt and would have sewn the pants out of sil-nylon. Their pants designs is very simple and not as nicely cut as the shirt is. Pricing: http://warmlite.com/prices.htmBtw, my VBL shirt weighs 8.47oz, my pants are 4.69oz.
I found the previous thread from 2006 & 7. There is some info there and on this new thread too. I'd really like to hear more from BPers with experience that can give us more nuts 'n bolts of using VBs. Are Misters Caffin and Nisely out there with some wisdom and data?
>Would a GoLite Windshirt as as a semi-vbl?Probably not. Depends on what you mean by 'semi'.
>BPers with experience that can give us more nuts 'n bolts of using VBsI don't have any hard data on how much 'warmth' a VB will add, though the type of VB will make a difference. For instance, Fuzzy Stuff is clearly warmer than plain silnylon or hefty bags.Aside from that, a VBL combined with a good bivy bag is your best protection against losing loft due to damp insulation. So it not only directly adds warmth but indirectly via loft protection. Of course, if you are only planning an overnight trip this may not be so important.
