Hard to get established on the wall and get some decent gear in. It's only short and the battle is over by the time you are half way up but for a clowardly me, dare I say it, it seemed more HVS. A sustained struggle and the gear wasn't great but like I said I'm a wimp. It was real good though! mikehenesy - Lead - 28/Aug/14 with Carl Stubbs

The virus's outer shell, or capsid, is made of four proteins, labeled H, J, F and G. The structures of all but the H protein had been determined previously. The new findings show that the H protein assembles into a tube-shaped structure. The E. coli cells have a double membrane, and the researchers discovered that the two ends of the virus's H-protein tube attach to the host cell's inner and outer membranes.
Images created with a technique called cryoelectron tomography show this attachment. The H-protein tube was shown to consist of 10 "alpha-helical" molecules coiled around each other. Findings also showed that the inside of the tube contains a lining of amino acids that could be ideal for the transfer of DNA into the host.
"This may be a general property found in viral-DNA conduits and could be critical for efficient genome translocation into the host," Rossmann said.
Like many other viruses, the shape of the phiX174 capsid has icosahedral symmetry, a roughly spherical shape containing 20 triangular faces.

Corvus the Crow caw-caws tonight
Crows are smart. Some fashion hooks from twigs to get at food. Yet intelligence is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when most of us think of crows. We're more likely to associate them with bad omens or their uncanny ability to find a way into our garbage.
Whether or not you're a crow fan, I think you'll enjoy the version that roosts in the southern sky on spring nights. Its compact form makes it an easy catch.
The celestial crow is called Corvus ('crow' in Latin) and looks like a misshapen square. You can find it by facing south-southeast at nightfall. First identify Saturn and Spica, the two bright objects about midway up in the sky in that direction. While you're at it, notice how close Saturn is to the star Porrima, also known as Gamma Virginis. Keep an eye on the two in the coming weeks – they're going to get a lot closer as Saturn slowly marches in the star's direction. By the second week of June, they'll be only 1/4 degree apart.
Once you've found Saturn and Spica, look one fist held at arm's length to the right of Spica. See that funky little trapezoid of stars? Yep, that's the crow.
Myth has it that Apollo planned to make a sacrifice to Zeus and sent the crow off with a cup to fetch water from a spring. En route, our friend Corvus spotted a fig tree with unripe fruit. Instead of following orders, the bird chose to wait several days for the fruit to ripen into a tasty meal (sound familiar?), forcing Apollo to get the water himself. The crow needed an excuse for his tardiness, so he snatched a water-snake from the spring and upon his return, explained to Apollo that the snake had prevented him from filling the water cup.
"Oh, really??" thought Apollo. As punishment, he condemned the crow to a life of thirst and put the snake, cup and crow in the sky as a teachable moment for all future crows.
Saturn is high up in the evening sky now through June and makes a tempting telescopic sight. When objects are high in the sky, they're less disturbed by air currents and sharper than when seen closer to the horizon.
Use the diagram above to help you find Saturn's moons. Only Titan will be easy to spot tonight in a small telescope. A 6-inch or 8-inch scope should show Rhea (Ray), Tethys (TEE-thiss) and Dione (Dee-OWN).
Mimas (MEE-mas) and Enceladus (en-SELL-uh-duss) are so close to Saturn they're hard to pick out from its glare. You'll need a 10 or 12-inch scope to do the job.
As promised, here are times this week for viewing the International Space Station (ISS) during the evening hours. The times are good for the Duluth, Minn. region. For times for your town you can log in to Heavens Above or go to Spaceweather's Flybys and enter your zip code. All passes will happen across the northern sky with the ISS moving from west to east.
* Tonight April 24 beginning at 9:10 p.m.
* Mon. April 25 at 9:35 p.m.
* Tues. April 26 at 8:24 p.m. and again at 10 p.m. The earlier pass will be particularly bright. During the later one, the ISS will fade near the end of its path as it enters Earth's shadow.
* Weds. April 27 at 8:49 p.m. and again at 10:24 p.m. During the second pass, the ISS will rise up in the northwest, become very bright and then fade quickly as it enters Earth's shadow beneath the Big Dipper.
* Thurs. April 28 at 9:13 p.m.
* Fri. April 29 at 9:38 p.m. Brightest, highest pass of the week!

Hi Bob! Here's something a little odd, but I'm wondering if you noticed anything as well.
On this past Saturday, around 11 pm, a friend of mine claimed to have seen a few "ufo"s in the sky. He posted this on Facebook and a couple other people commented that they'd seen up to three odd lights in the sky as well.
Have you heard anyone else talking about strange lights that night?
I, for one, didn't see a thing! But I wonder if perhaps they just saw the passing over of the International Space Station? Would that have been bright and curious enough for a casual observer to think it might be a ufo?
Take care, Bob! Always a joy to read the blog!
So enjoyed last Saturday night of Easter with the grandsons ages 4 and 6. Gus – 6 year old- is doing a science project of Saturn with a styrofoam ball. Found my Star book dated 1956 for Saturn information and looked at your blog. Got out the telescope and viewed Saturn with them, watched the ISS go over including a flash which I had never seen before. Also watched 3 sand hill cranes fly over at dusk…all from the comforts of our deck! They were impressed Thanks for all your info! Also for John above, a co-worker asked me about what was going on a week ago. They saw a white enlongated light in the sky…wrong time and place and movement for the ISS. My guess…a UFO

A very funny black comedy film from New Zealand following the latest case of a private eye specialising in finding lost things; heading to the femme fatale's home on a mission to find some lost keys something more sinister appears to be at work... Shot by David Collins and Lollicake as part of a 48 hour film challenge this film rises well above the constraints of the 48hr approach to create a simply all round great short film.

kinda OT-- boys and their pee-pees
Oh my goodness! I don't think I would know what to say either. Probably just laugh.
Proud mommy to Samuel (05/11/11) and Benjamin (06/15/13)
OMG...that's fantastic. I love how honest little boys are when it comes to their "stuff". You can't teach them this either...it's like they just "know" it from birth. I caught my 4 year old standing on his stepping stool and "posing" in different positions in front of the mirror naked the other day.
Get a tube sock. Put a tennis ball in it. Hold it to your chest. There's my boob.- Sdooley
Boys and they're wieners. :S my brother always says "My penis was my first best friend." Ew. Haha.
Also, kudos for your kiddo loving Scream!

Yeah, that's definitely just got to be a boy thing. My son hasn't ever said anything like that (he is 3, almost 4) but there is a little girl in his class that he is obsessed with and is always talking about her and most of the time when he is his penis gets erect.....it's kind of funny!

[0001] This invention relates generally to orthopaedic appliances such as, e.g. prostheses and orthoses for improving a handicapped or disabled person's gait, and in particular to soles having areas of different flexural resistance.
[0002] Various inlays and appliances for compensating mere anatomical insufficiencies have been known for a long time. Those appliances take into account the statical aspects of weight and force distribution of the foot and lower limb. Attempts to take into account both statical and dynamical forces, i.e., forces generated during a stride, includes the patent publication SE 89967 to Ehrlich 1934. That document discloses an orthopaedic footwear together with method and device for its production.
[0003] In EP 0,931,470 A2 to Pavesi is disclosed a sandwich type footwear stiffening element of rigid or at least semi-rigid behaviour, usable as part of a sole unit or insole.
[0004] In GB 1,433,481 to Revill is disclosed a shoe insole comprising a non-woven bonded fibre mass having a greater density at a rear portion of the insole than at a forepart portion thereof and the rear portion being more rigid than the forepart portion.
[0005] In U.S. Pat. No. 4,085,758 to Castiglia is disclosed a weight-redistribution orthopaedic appliance adapted to be attached to the sole of a shoe. That orthopaedic appliance is a non-resilient pad that is attached to the sole of a shoe forward of a break line of the sole, the pad being sufficiently flexible to be readily contoured to the sole's surface.
[0006] The present invention solves the above-mentioned problem of compensating not only for mere anatomical insufficiencies but also for both statical and dynamical forces, i.e., forces generated during a handicapped or disabled person's stride, by providing an orthopaedic appliance in the shape of a sole having areas of different flexural resistance. Boundary zones, or boundary lines defining the boundaries of said areas has been given a certain favourable shape. The sole on its own or as an integral part of a prosthesis or an orthosis, is conceived, constructed and reinforced so as to adapt the position and/or the shape of the so called release line to relieve a patient's problems. The invention is based on the inventors realisation of the importance to control the extension of the so called progression line, particularly when dealing with an amputated foot or an impaired muscle. The invention is an important component in the struggle for preventing injuries affecting the knee, hip and back, among patients with impaired gait, as has been possible to describe with the aid of three dimensional gait analysis.
[0007] The sole according to the invention solves the problem of correcting the position and shape of the progression line and the release line by being reinforced laterally and at the same time more frontally than a sole of a normal shoe. The sole supports the foot in a certain manner and the ground reaction-force progression-line is brought back to normal. This guiding and supportive effect makes it easier for the person to hold the foot in a straight position throughout a stride and also to avoid gait deviations at the ankle, knee and hip joints. The patient is spared an unphysiological gait of having to turn the foot at each step. Instead the leg can be swung in a straight line. A more natural gait is achieved. The above mentioned results including the transfer or shift of the ground reaction-force progression-line has been investigated using three-dimensional gait analysis.
[0008] The sole can be manufactured in carbon fibre reinforced composite materials or the like and having different number of layers in different parts of the sole, including different types of and number of layers of weave and fabric with crossing fibre directions, of said fibres. The invention is not dependent upon the type of material used.
[0009]FIG. 1 is a plan view illustrating the progression line of the ground reaction force under the foot.
[0010]FIG. 2 shows a number of alternative release lines.
[0011]FIG. 3 shows areas with different flexural resistance.
[0012]FIG. 4 shows a top view and side view showing different layers of the sole.
[0013] The development of pressure sensitive plates have made it possible for the inventors to measure the reactive force from the floor towards the sole of the foot or towards the sole of footwear. In FIG. 1 is shown a sole with both a defective 102 and a normal 101 progression line of the reactive force drawn into the figure for comparison.
[0014] When a person with normal gait walks, the result is a neutral progression line 101. The progression line 101 begins at the posterior part of the heel and advances forward towards the big toe. At the end stage the foot is bent at the metatarsophalangeal joints and the sole is bent along a so-called release line 105. A normal release line 105 is shown in the figure and it runs along the ball of the foot. Good footwear is built to bend along this normal release line 105. During normal gait there is no need to turn the foot at each step and the leg can be swung in a straight line. A number of alternative release lines 202-205, corresponding to different person's pathology in gait, can be seen on the sole in FIG. 2. The normal release line 201 is shown as a dashed line.
[0015] As an example people suffering from paresis and being partly paralysed or having a partly amputated foot cannot walk properly with normal footwear. For such a person the disability will give rise to a progression line 102 as can be seen in FIG. 1. The line 102 deflects towards the little toe because the foot (or what is left of it) cannot withstand the load. Because of the deflected progression line 102, i.e. the ground reactive forces working in a faulty point of action, the foot must be turned in the swing phase and the leg cannot be swung in a straight line. Furthermore the knee will have an increased varus moment and the person will get a limping pattern, which in turn will give rise to problems with the persons' ankle, knee, and hip joints.
[0016] It is known how to build for example runner's shoes with soles for preventing supination and pronation. Those shoes are built up mainly around the heel and the metatarsus so as to straighten the foot up and tilt it medially or laterally. This tilt has by no means any influence on the release line, which is arranged, at the same position as in normal shoes.
[0017] In FIG. 3 is shown areas of different flexural resistance of a sole according to the invention. The sole is conceived, constructed and reinforced so as to adapt the position and/or the shape of the release line to a patient's problems. The sole is reinforced laterally and frontally compared to a sole of a normal shoe, i.e. the portions of the foot (or what is left of it) that corresponds to the little toe portion of the foot, and the lateral part of the foot are given a stiffer support than is the areas corresponding to the big toe and the medial front part of the foot. The sole supports in this way the foot and thereby the ground counter-force progression-line is brought back to normal. This guiding and supportive effect makes it easier for the person to hold the foot in a straight position throughout the stride, and gait deviations at the ankle, knee, and hip joints are avoided. The patient is spared the inconvenience of having to turn the foot at each step and the leg can be swung in a straight line. A more natural gait is achieved.
[0018] Again turning to FIG. 3, the sole has flexible areas of different flexural resistance. As an example in FIG. 3, the area labelled I is the most flexible. The area labelled II is a bit less flexible than area I. The area labelled M is a bit less flexible than area II. The area labelled IV is the stiffest area. Another positive side of this construction is a spring effect produced at toe-off, which preserves energy.
[0019] A such flexible area of the sole is bounded by either an outer limit or edges of the sole and one or more boundary zones or boundary lines 301, 302, 303 or only by boundary lines. In the figures, boundary lines are drawn as thin lines, but in a real product these lines can have a width of up to a few millimetres incorporating an area of intermediate flexural resistance.
[0020] Two boundary lines 301, 302 of a preferred embodiment of the invention as shown in FIG. 3 begin at a lateral side edge 310 of the sole 300, extend towards a midline of the sole (not shown), extends at the same time in a posterior direction in such a way that when reaching a medial side edge 320 of the sole 300, an end point 331, 332 of said boundary lines 301, 302 is arranged decidedly more posterior, i.e. closer to the heel end 340 of the sole 300, than is a start point of said line. In this way the progression line will be moved in a direction towards the big toe. The release line will at the same time be moved or tilted towards a more normal or pronated position. A third boundary line 303 is arranged to extend in a straight line.
[0021] As can be seen in FIG. 3 the boundary lines can assume curved shapes reminding of an "S" or they can be curved otherwise or be straight. Tests have shown that shapes of the boundary lines resembling an elongated "S" in general, also resembling the hyperbolic tangent function graph, the sigmoid function graph, the integral sign or the like is well suited for achieving proper function. A bend 351, 352 in a boundary line 301, 302 can be directed towards the toe end 360 of the sole or towards the heel end 340. A bend can also be directed towards, or partly towards, the lateral 310 or medial 320 side edge of the sole 300. In a preferred embodiment three boundary lines 301-303 are arranged. The first boundary line 301 is arranged with a first bend 351 being convex in a direction towards the toe end 360 of the sole 300. Said boundary line 301 is also arranged with a second bend 352 being concave in a direction towards the toe end 360 of the sole 300. The second boundary line 302 is arranged having a first bend 353 being convex in a direction towards the toe end 360 of the sole 300. Said second boundary line 302 is also arranged having a second bend 354 being concave in a direction towards the toe end 360 of the sole 300.
[0022] The sole can be manufactured of carbon fibre reinforced composite materials or the like. The invention is however not dependent upon the type of material used. Every material with a suitable flexibility can be used, such as glass fibre reinforced plastics, other plastics, wood, steel or other metals. Preferred materials include KEVLAR® (aramid) fibre, carbon fibre, glass fibre, steel and thermoplastic resin.
[0023] One preferred way of establishing the areas of different flexural resistance is to manufacture the sole of a number of layers of a material. Referring to FIG. 3, the sole could be constructed with one layer material in area I, two layer material in area II, three layer material in layer III, and four layer material in layer IV.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment, however, the area I is composed of two layers of crossed direction carbon fibre fabric together with two layers of single direction carbon fibre material. Area II is composed of two layers of single direction fibre material together with two layers of crossed fibres together with two layers of single direction fibre material again. Area III is composed of the same as layer II but with an additional layer of single direction fibre material. Area IV is composed of three layers of single direction fibre material together with three layers of crossed fibres together with two layers of single direction fibre material again.
[0025] In FIG. 4 another embodiment is shown. The sole is shown from above and from the side. The corresponding positions and lines C1, C2, and C3 are marked in both views. Different layers of different extensions and materials are shown. The top layer 401 extends to the full width of the sole and consists of 45 degrees KEVLAR® fabric (45 degrees between warp and weft). The second layer 402 extends to the C1 line and consists of 45 degrees carbon fibre fabric. The third layer 403 extends to the line C2 and consists of straight carbon fibres. The fourth layer extends to line C1 and consists of 45 degrees carbon fibre fabric. The fifth layer 405 extends the full sole and consists of 45 degrees carbon fibre fabric also. The sixth layer extends to the line C3 and consists of straight carbon fibres. The seventh layer extends to C1 and consists of 45 degrees carbon fibre fabric. The eighth layer extends to C2 and consists of straight carbon fibres. The ninth layer extends to C1 and consists of 45 degrees carbon fibre fabric. The tenth and bottom layer extends the full width of the sole and consists of 45 degrees KEVLAR® fabric.

Richard Toensing (1940-2014)—"The Oak Doesn't Grow as Fast as the Squash"
As in his music, Richard Toensing (1940–2014) embraced the challenges of teaching with his simplicity inside complexity. He had an indelible ability to be engaging, stringent, rigorous, and nurturing all at once. He was well known for his integrity, his delightful wit, and his zero-tolerance policy for what he called "that bull-hooey ego nonsense that gets in the way of hard work and real life."
Charlie Haden (1937-2014)—One of the Greatest
Death sucks, not for the person who dies—it's mostly a rational solution—but for the people who live on with the absence of a favorite living, breathing creature. There is a creepy scrawled note on my desk with "call Charlie" crossed off. For the past few years, we had been talking about making another Liberation Music Orchestra album.

Remembering Seymour Barab (1921-2014): Composer, Cellist, Friend
I probably met Seymour in New York City sometime in the mid 1940s. Even then, Seymour made quite an impression as he walked into a room—a large, cheerful man swinging his cello at the end of his arm. As a musician, Seymour was remarkable to work with. Seymour could articulate and explain the structural intent of a given piece of music, and his playing was void of vanity.

the crazy lithuanian
This is Andre, his friends call him Sable.
Andre is from Lithuania, and he is crazy! He said the reason he is crazy is because there are no mothers in Lithuania to worry about the children.
Andre climbed out along a ledge, down the cliff, and then back up to where he is standing. All this with a 2000 ft. vertical drop below him.
He did all this in tennis shoes and with his bare hands, without any ropes or other climbing equipment.

Mead Johnson Nutrition (
) shares saw upside action as takeover rumors for the company
continue to build. The stock's dividend yield is below 1.50%, so
you may want to be careful if a deal doesn't get done. Traders tend
to not stick around if deals aren't announced within a short period
of time following the initial rumors. Just look at Walter Energy (
), which was the takeover rumor du jour last week, rallying from
$75 to open over $90 last Tuesday, and pulling back to the low

If you're looking for new dividend names to put capital into, we
upgraded one of our previous picks back onto our Recommended list
today, so be sure to check out
the article detailing the upgrade
if you haven't already.
I was reading an article on SmartMoney.com recently highlighting
the fact that empty-nesters (parents who now have the house to
themselves after their kids move out) can sometimes go overboard
with spending. A lack of dependents living under their roof
instills a sense of spending freedom parents haven't felt since
before they had children.
Anyway, the article pointed to a study from the Center for
Retirement Research at Boston College, which found that when kids
jump ship, parents increase their per capita consumption of
nondurable goods by a rather startling 51% percent. Now don't get
me wrong, it could be that the money will be spent on those
vacations or other dream purchases that parents sometimes plan and
save up for. The danger comes in when couples forget to stop at the
planned-for expenditures. In the same article, a study from AARP
cited some 30 percent of baby boomers age 50 and older reported
some difficulty limiting their spending. Now hopefully many of us
build up enough income from our investments in income-producing
assets that we have a strong cushion to absorb the costs of dream
vacations, cars, etc.
All too often, people choose to spend rather than save, however.
An Employee Benefit Research Institute report indicates that just
over half of workers ages 45 to 54 claim savings and investments of
less than $25,000 (before pension, social security or home equity),
up from a just a third in 2007.
It's been a few years since my parents started collecting social
security. Having been self-employed for most his life, my dad
didn't retire with a pension. My mom worked part-time for much of
her life, so her social security take is fairly small. With their
inclinations to save, however, my parents are fortunate that social
security is not their only source of retirement income. Their lot
is better than many other retired Americans, unfortunately.
According to a recent study by the Employee Benefit Research
Institute, nearly half (47%) of early baby boomers aged 56 to 62
are at risk of outliving their retirement savings. I've seen
first-hand the "survivor" mentality that takes over in many
retirees. It's amazing to see some of my uncles who'd been bit more
adventurous with spending in their day, have now taken to an
age-induced frugality.
Certainly the biggest fear among retirees is potentially
outliving their savings. If possible, I suggest that anyone
approaching retirement should really think about delaying their
social security payments. Keep in mind that taking benefits at age
62 locks in payments that are only 75 percent of what they would be
at the retirement age of 66. Delaying benefits at age 66 will raise
them by 8 percent a year until age 70, after which benefits do not
increase with age.
The social security program is also becoming a greater and
greater burden for U.S. taxpayers. At last count, more than 53
million people receive Social Security, with the retirement
benefits averaging $1,100 a month. Our population is also getting
older, which will onlu add to the number of benefit recipients:
life expectancy in the United States has reached a record high of
77.8 years, up from 70.8 in 1970, according to the U.S. National
Center for Health Statistics. Factoring in further health gains,
the U.S. Census Bureau projects life expectancy will reach 79.2
years by 2015.
Many financial advisors tend to use a 4% annual withdrawal rate
when discussing retirement savings withdrawals. With this approach,
investors withdraw 4% of their retirement balance in the first year
of retirement, or let's say $20,000 from a $500K portfolio. The
dollar amount of the withdrawal could be adjusted each year to keep
up with inflation. So whether you are deriving income from
dividend-paying stocks, bonds, bank CDs, or other sources, you can
at least have a starting point (4% withdrawal rate) to factor
I would recommend anyone who needs further guidance on this to
set up a free consultation with several certified financial
planners to get their opinions on what your finances look like, and
what the best plan for you should be.
The best thing we can do as individual investors in the meantime
is look for opportunities where we receive consistent income
sources (dividends) from the companies who can best weather the
economic storms ahead. You can count on Dividend.com to be your
guide in that arena. As always, you can find all of our current

Sales proceeds will go to the Limbless Association.

Who are you? How do you introduce yourself? Do you use a name, or do you greet a friend by the last four digits of his social security number? Assuming you don't, why are we content to associate our identity with 10 random digits assigned by our phone company?

In his session at @ThingsExpo, Ben Klang, Founder & President of Mojo Lingo, will discuss the impact of technology on identity. Should we federate, or not? How should identity be secured? Who owns the identity? How is identity ...

I don't know what the other folks are talking about, but this is a good place to hang out with your pals and get your dance on. DJ Dave is better than the other DJ there, so your best bet is to go on Thurs or Sat nights.
Hangout Spot Marred By Patronsby Vad_EnNoi on 11/21/2002
MM's has a good layout. There's a patio where you can drink and smoke, and the inside is a cozy bar. Everything looks nice and is well kept up. From the sound of it, the Jukebox has nothing newer than the early 90's, but it's decent as is the sound system. The only problem I had there, were the roudy, annoying college boys. We were there for a few hours until one of them yelled out the N word most likely in reference to one of my friends there.
McGees is McLameby tri_tip on 10/21/2002
Enginerds crowd this otherwise fun neighborhood bar. While the atmosphere is friendly, at best, the people tend to be lame with the ""whats-your sign"" type of lines. Music is ala Monster Jams and other compilation CDs of the mid-90s. Beware of grease balls. This place gets old quick.
