I really have to say something to all you "cooks" who feel it necessary to reduce the calorie content or complain about it if you don't reduce it. It is a dessert! Not an Atkins boxed special. Im happy to say im 5'3 and 97 pounds and I love to eat dessert, without making it low fat every night. Oh, by the way Jax, that isn't how you spell truly. Thank youflag if inappropriate
I saved this recipe in January 2004 in my Epicurious recipe box and printed a copy as well. When I couldn't find my printed copy in July 2004, I printed a new copy and then found the original. I discovered the recipe's ingredients and amounts and instrcutions had totally changed and realized this recipe has the same name of the previously run recipe and replaced it. I haven't made the 2nd version...but was so pleased with the 1st version I will probably stick with it. I'm happy I had the original copy. But, beware of possible loss of favorite recipes!flag if inappropriate
Half the time I look for recipes I will follow it word for word. With desserts I try and redo recipes to be more low carb compliant. This is a great recipe that I have used more or less for many years. Today I used splenda and stevia in place of sugar and used half the flour and Atkins baking mix for the other half. It's not truely low carb but alot better than regular flour and sugar. My family wanted to try it before I got it in the oven because it smelled so good! Blessings Shellyflag if inappropriate
Is this desert recipe FATTENING? OF COURSE. Is this desert recipe GREAT TASTING? YES!!! If I may suggest, ENJOY (OR ENDULGE) ACCORDINGLY!flag if inappropriate
Excuse me but I have never felt so prompted to add my 2 cents as I did after seeing comments from the cook from St. Louis. We are all adults here and are solely responsible for what we eat. To blame the website is completely ignorant - no I will not even give that much credit since that means one does not know better. I live in a part of the world where women eat livestock feed to look fat which translates to wealth and importance. This recipe gives the reader ingredients and amounts - you do the math. If you can't, I suggest you move on.flag if inappropriate
This recipe is missing the granulated sugar amount. I made the Crisp using Gala and Granny Smith apples and one half cup of sugar. It was just perfect. Depending on the tartness of the apples, I would say use one half to one cup granulated sugar tossed with the apples. You will not be disappointed!flag if inappropriate
To the "cook" from St. Louis, MO, I have to ask: What the hell are you doing even reading recipes relative to such a subject? Most of us do not indulge in such a treat daily. Moderation is the key. To everyone else, enjoy occasionally.flag if inappropriate
This dessert was the perfect ending to a hearty Christmas dinner! I forgot to butter the baking dish and it still turned out perfectly. The guests were elbowing each other to get seconds. I served the crisp warm with freshly whipped heavy cream (not the kind from a can). It also tasted great reheated the next day. This one is a definite success!flag if inappropriate
Excellent recipe- just like my grandmother used to make. I added a little more sugar and butter than was called for because I am a total glutton and like my desserts sweet and tasty.flag if inappropriate
Of course this recipe is BRILLIANT and gets 100% ratings. Why? Yes naturally the BUTTER..all 3/4 cups of it. We all know the easy secret to gourmet cooking is BUTTER...now the healthy challenge begins....how to make it equally delicious with less fat....probably impossible....I challenge everyone to try and let us know your results.flag if inappropriate

Milwaukee Music Video: See Calliope's treatment for 'Miller City Blues'
Should Apple ever decide to resurrect the iconic dancing silhouettes featured in its iPod commercials, Calliope's latest music video would make a strong audition reel.
I was impressed by the Milwaukee band's spirited set at Riverwest Fest last December and a sound that knocks loudly on The Doors. But as the title of this song, "Miller City Blues," will attest, this is a blues tune, seasoned with tangy harmonica. Victor Buell IV, Calliope's vocalist and guitarist, directed the video, embedded below. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Since I moved from Pittsburgh last summer, I hadn't found anyone who seemed to give my hair shape and style. A friend recommended I try a Charles Penzone Salon and I scheduled an appointment with Lexie at the Gahanna location. After my consultation with Lexie, I decided to cut about 5-6 inches from my hair and she made me totally comfortable with such a dramatic change. She did a great job tailoring my cut to fit my face shape, hair texture and lifestyle. The service exceeded my expectations! I was hoping for a shorter cut but left with a totally new style. I would definitely recommend Lexie to my friends and will see her again in the future.

The world is down on America these days. Allies like Israel are sick and tired of our whirlybird foreign policies. There are even haters inside America who have lost the faith.
America's best days are behind her, they say. The American dream has become a living nightmare. She is no longer a force for good in this world of evil. The world burns as Uncle Sam runs away and hides under the bed in his hospice facility.
But there is a way to bring back that shining city on a hill. Reawaken the American dream. Rejuvenate that American spirit of generosity and ingenuity and optimism. Reaffirm our Judeo-Christian faith in freedom.
America must go to Africa and round up every single person afflicted with the Ebola virus and bring them all here to America.
I call on Congress to write and immediately pass the Begin Loving Ebola Emigres, Dude! Act. And I call on President Obama to sign the BLEED Act, though that is merely a formality he doesn't really have to do if he doesn't feel like it. He can just write the law himself and pass it without Congress.
The BLEED Act would bring thousands of Ebola victims to America, where they would have access to the world's most cutting-edge treatment at hospitals across the country. Atlanta, New York, Minneapolis.
Already, we have brought two American victims to Atlanta for treatment. Why should we value the lives of these two Americans over the lives of all the other Ebola patients in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea?
Americans, are you racist? Of course not!
American exceptionalism means America is made of special constitutional ingredients that make it the greatest country on earth, a beacon of hope and freedom to the world. It does not mean that Americans who get sick abroad should get special treatment.
Once here in the bosom of liberty, BLEEDers will become naturalized citizens. They will be allowed to take the oath of citizenship from the comfort of their hospital beds.
Of course, BLEEDers will enjoy the full benefits of Obamacare as well as a new program devised to deal with the growing crisis, Ebolacare. President Obama just needs to pencil that into the law he has already rewritten 17 times.
BLEEDers will be registered to vote. Their voices will be heard! Their demands will be met! And even before they are cleared as healthy, BLEEDers will be encouraged to stage protest marches on Washington and at state capitols all across America!
Now, I realize there might be some of you out there who think this is not a good idea. Most of you are probably racist, so just shut up! But if you happen to be a person who really is not racist but still thinks this is somehow a "bad" or "risky" idea, then you just need to calm down.
The BLEED Act is not in any way a departure from our current immigration policies.

Lord help you if you need service from this quest. Zero patient advocacy, they'd rather their patients suffer weeks of pain than alter their usual process...
Terrible place. I dread going here. The nurses ignore you and are always late to start taking patients. Once they open the doors at 7:00 and the line of patients files in, the nurses spend 10 minutes chatting out of sight (though you can hear them). When they do appear at the desk, they seem not to notice there are people in the room. They call a couple of names, then disappear. If you have to ask a question, or get a sample container, they are not available. You can stand there 10 minutes before you see someone. And then they make it clear you are bothering them. Patients are clearly annoying in their eyes. Also, they lose appointments. I made a 7:00 appointment weeks before, but they kept calling other names until I managed to get the attention of one nurse and asked if I was on the appointment list. She just said "no" and "do you have your confirmation number?" as she walked out of the room. Clearly she didn't give a cr*p about me. "We lost your appointment. Too bad." As I said, I hate this place. The workers are so unprofessional, and service is terrible.

This invention relates to a medical device. More particularly, the invention relates to a disposable medical device incorporating an electrode pad.
Many forms of electronic devices for the treatment or diagnosis of medical conditions in humans or animals are known. Many of these devices require the application of electrodes to various parts of the human or animal body. These electrodes are generally provided separately from the main device in sterile packs and are applied to the relevant portions of the patient's body at the time of treatment either by means of an adhesive or a gel which improves conductivity. The device itself is often cumbersome and is generally not disposable and is connected to the electrodes by means of wires and connection terminals.
One such device is a neurostimulating device used for the locating of specific nerves and the treatment of these nerves with anesthetics or other drugs. Such neurostimulating devices involve the use of an electrode which is placed on the patient's body and which is operably connected to a signal generator by means of a wire. A probe and/or a hypodermic drug dispenser, including a hypodermic needle, are attached to a terminal of the signal generator. By generating an electrical signal and applying it across the electrode and the probe and/or hypodermic needle, it is possible to both precisely locate the position of a particular nerve and to apply a drug or anesthetic by means of the hypodermic needle on or proximate the nerve. The problem with present transdermal neurostimulators and delivery systems is that they are difficult to manipulate single-handedly. The operator must simultaneously manipulate the signal generator and the probe and/or hypodermic needle. It would therefore be an advantage to have the signal generator, incorporating manipulative dials and read outs relating to the strength and form of the signal generated thereby, in close proximity to the part of the human body on which the probe and/or hypodermic needle is being used. It would be a further advantage for the entire combination of equipment to be provided in a sterile packaging and to be disposable after use.
A further use for a medical device including a potential difference (voltage) generator is to be found in a drug delivery system for the delivery of drugs by means of iontopheresis. In such a delivery system, a charged ionic drug is placed on the skin of a patient and an electric charge of the same polarity as that of the drug is applied to the region of the skin. This allows a direct current to drive the drug into the skin. Iontopheresis-aided delivery may take advantage of sweat ducts, sebaceous glands, hair follicles and imperfections in the skin to achieve penetration. Alternatively, applying an electrical potential across a portion of the skin may alter its permeability, possibly creating potential-dependant pores in lipid bilayer membranes. The use of such devices is appropriate in the delivery of local anesthetic prior to skin puncture or painful dermal procedures, the treatment of excessive sweating of the hands and feet (i.e. palmoplantar hyperhydrosis), local drug delivery for agents such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's) or corticosteroids for musculoskeletal inflammatory disorders, and other applications. Again, it would be an advantage to provide a device in which the electrical potential could be controlled locally at the site of application by means of a signal generator. It would further be an advantage for an electrode pad, signal generator and, possibly, a topically applied drug to be prepackaged in a sterile package and to be disposable after use.
It is an object of this invention, at least in part, to achieve the advantages set out above and to overcome the problems alluded to.
A disposable medical device including
The electrode pad may have an adhesive on its contact surface and a removable film covering the contact surface and adhesive, the film being removable prior to use. Preferably, the electrode pad and signal generator are in abutment when in use. In one embodiment of the invention, the electrode pad and signal generator comprise an integral one-piece unit. In another embodiment of the invention, the electrode pad and the signal generator have complementary connectors for connecting the electrode pad and signal generator directly to one another without the aid of an electrical lead.
The signal generator may be intended for single use and disposal thereafter and may be battery powered, the battery being installed at the point of manufacture.
The signal generator may be activated for single use by means of a pull tag, having the effect of completing the power circuit and thereby enabling the device.
The signal generator may be operable to generate a range of signals of various selectable wave forms and amplitudes.
Further, the signal generator may include
The means for selecting the signal wave form and amplitude or signal current may be a dial or switch.
The signal generator may be operable to generate a monophasic square wave pulse of selectable amplitude.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the medical device comprises a transdermal neurostimulator, a first of the terminals of the signal generator being applied to the electrode pad and comprising an anode for the device and a second terminal of the signal generator being attached to a connector for connection to a transdermal probe and/or a drug delivery device including a hypodermic syringe and needle and comprising the cathode of the device.
In another embodiment of the invention, the electrode pad comprises two electrically insulated regions, a first of which provides a cathode and a second of which provides an anode, the first terminal of the signal generator being in electrical contact with the first region of the electrode pad, and the second terminal of the signal generator being in electrical contact with the second region thereof. Then, the signal generator may be operable to selectively vary the signal strength between the anode and cathode.
One of the regions of the electrode pad may be impregnated with an ionic drug of choice, drug delivery being made by means of iontopheresis and the rate of delivery of the drug being varied by selected variation of the signal strength between the regions of the electrode. Instead, an ionic drug may be laced within an electrode gel which is applied to the electrode at the time of application, drug delivery being made by means of iontopheresis and the rate of delivery of the drug being be varied by selected variation of the signal strength between the regions of the electrode.
According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a kit for a disposable medical device, the kit including
Thus, in one embodiment of the invention, in use, the entire miniaturized signal generator and electrode pad are removed from sterile packaging and applied, using either a self adhesive layer carried on the contact surface of the electrode pad or by means of an electrode gel, to the body of the patient at a location proximate the area of treatment. The hypodermic applicator is connected to the second terminal of the signal generator by means of a cable. The operator selects a suitable amplitude or current strength and signal wave form for treatment of the nerve in question and, by means of the hypodermic needle, locates the nerve. Since the device is proximate the area of treatment, it is simple for the operator to both read the amplitude and form of the signal in use and to alter these, as appropriate, while continuing to manipulate the hypodermic needle. A reaction of the patient to the applied stimulus determines that the hypodermic needle is proximate the relevant nerve, and an anesthetic or other drug may be locally applied to the nerve in question. After treatment, the entire electrode pad signal generator combination may be discarded.
The invention is now described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings. In the drawings:
In the drawings, reference numeral 10 generally refers to a disposable medical device in accordance with the invention.
The neurostimulator device 10.1 is provided in a sterile condition in a sterile wrapper (not shown). In use, the neurostimulator device 10.1 is removed from the sterile wrapper, applied to the body 14 of the person to be treated in a location proximate the area of treatment and the electrode pad 12 is adhered to the body 14 by means of a self adhesive applied to a contact surface of the pad 12 at the point of manufacture or a typical contact gel. The neurostimulator device 10.1 is activated by pulling the pull tag 22 and the hypodermic probe and/or needle are connected to the connector 20 of the cable 18. The operator may then manipulate the hypodermic needle and, at the same time, observe the readout 26 and manipulate the signal strength without difficulty. Once it is apparent that the hypodermic needle is proximate the nerve to be treated, the contents of the hypodermic syringe, being typically an anesthetic or other treatment drug, may be locally applied very precisely to the nerve in question.
By means of the invention, there is provided a simple and effective means of providing a controlled electrical field in the human body which may be precisely located and controlled. The entire device, including signal generator and electrode pad, may conveniently be used for a single application and discarded. Advantageously, a combination of the signal generator and electrode pad may be provided in a sterile packaging. The proximity of the controls and read out of the signal generator to the area of topical treatment provides an advantage over existing treatment devices.

The Production Functions from the Point of View of 3- Dimensional Geometry
In this paper we shall make an analysis of production functions from the space point of view. We shall obtain some interesting results like that all the points of the surface are parabolic, the total curvature is always null, the conditions when a production function is minimal and finally we give the equations of the geodesics on the surface i.e. the curves of minimal length between two points.

Tiffin museum celebrates the art of glassmaking
More than 1,000 items on display
THE BLADE/JEREMY WADSWORTH Enlarge | Buy This Photo
TIFFIN — A downtown museum devoted to nearly a century of locally made glassware now displays the tools used to make the delicate pieces at the former Tiffin factory.
The Tiffin Glass Museum pays homage to the company that made the Seneca County city a well-known name among glass collectors.
Since 1998, the museum has occupied storefront space, where it displays Tiffin glassware. This month, it moved into a third adjoining storefront, where tools and molds used to create the glass fill shelves and cases.
Walk in the door of the South Washington Street museum and cabinets full of glittering glassware first catch the eye. Arranged carefully on shelves are more than 1,000 pieces of glass made in Tiffin.
THE BLADE/JEREMY WADSWORTH Enlarge | Buy This Photo
A.J. Beatty & Sons opened the factory at Fourth Avenue and Vine Street in 1889. The city wooed the company with a promise of five years of natural gas plus cash and land, according to historical accounts. After several ownership and name changes, including Tiffin Glass Company Inc. and Tiffin Crystal, production stopped in 1980, according to a history of the factory.
During the glass manufacturer's heyday, it had sales offices in London; Mexico City, Mexico; Sydney, and Havana, Cuba.
One room in the museum is devoted to pieces for sale from members of the Tiffin Glass Collectors Club, which operates the site.
The museum's newest addition is the archival room. Large tong-like implements, used for handling hot glass, hang from a pegboard. A many-drawered tool box used by a former factory worker, silk screen designs, and press molds, including the Tiffin shield, are also showcased.
"The new archival room has several different kinds of molds that were used to make the various kinds of glass, the hand tools that were used to handle it, the blowpipes and the gathering tools," said Paul Coffman, the club's president. "These are tools that were donated to the museum from various former workers and club members over the years, and we have been able to purchase a few items, although they are getting more scarce as time progresses."
THE BLADE/JEREMY WADSWORTH Enlarge | Buy This Photo
Black and white photographs of former factory employees at work illustrate how the various tools were used.
The pictures, which date to about 1950, once hung in the factory hallways and executive offices. When the facility closed, some were kept by the people in the pictures, and throughout the years the museum has purchased some and had others donated, said museum director Ruth Hemminger.
The archival room adds another dimension.
"As far as the tools and old molds and the different types of things that they used for decorating, it's interesting, and it kind of helps people to understand a little bit better how it is was made," she said.
The club has more than 100 members nationwide, and the museum attracts about 2,000 visitors annually to its roughly 3,000-square-foot space, Mr. Coffman said.
Admission is free, though the museum does accept donations. It is open from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

Dipturus acrobelushttp://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2011-2.RLTS.T195444A8967096.en
|Scientific Name:
|Dipturus acrobelus
|Species Authority:
|Last, White & Pogonoski, 2008
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Notes:
The Deepwater Skate (Dipturus acrobelus) was previously misidentified as Bight Skate Raja gudgeri (Last et al. 1983).
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Least Concern ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Robbins, R. & Huveneers, C.
|Ebert, D.A. & Kyne, P.M.
The Deepwater Skate (Dipturus acrobelus) is a little-known, large skate species reported from southern Australian waters in depths of 450–1,330 m, although mainly in 800–1,000 m. The Deepwater Skate is found on the continental slope off southern Australia from east of Crowdy Head, New South Wales to the Great Australian Bight, Western Australia, including Tasmania. However, the western extent of its range is likely to increase through additional surveys of the continental slope off southwestern Australia. The species may be vulnerable to population declines from fishing pressure due to its large size. There are little specific details available regarding its ecology or life history. The Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery (including the East Coast Deepwater Trawl, Great Australian Bight and Commonwealth Trawl Sectors) operates within this species' range off southern and eastern Australia, in which the species might be taken as bycatch. However, the species has a relatively wide distribution and the estimated annual catch levels are relatively low. Additionally, since this species is most commonly found in waters of 800–1,000 m and that deep water trawling is currently prohibited to trawl operations deeper than 750 m, the impact of these fisheries on the Deepwater Skate is likely to be small. As such, the species is assessed as Least Concern. However, research is required to accurately define its range, as well as its population size/structure, capture in fisheries, and population trends. Given its occurrence in areas where deepwater trawl fisheries operate and the general vulnerability of large skates to overfishing, bycatch levels need to be monitored.
|Range Description:
|The Deepwater Skate is endemic to Australia and is found on the continental slope off southern Australia from east of Crowdy Head, New South Wales to the Great Australian Bight, Western Australia, including Tasmania. However, the full extent of its distribution, particularly to the west, is uncertain (Last and Stevens 2009) with the western extent of its range likely to increase through additional thorough surveys of the continental slope off southwestern Australia.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Australia (New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia)
|FAO Marine Fishing Areas:
Indian Ocean – eastern; Pacific – southwest

|The Deepwater Skate is apparently common throughout its range (Last and Stevens 2009), however details of population size, structure, or trends is currently unavailable.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
The Deepwater Skate is demersal and occurs in a depth range of 446–1,328 m although mainly in 800–1,000 m (Last and Stevens 2009). There are no species-specific details available on habitat. The Deepwater Skate attains at least 137 cm total length (TL); adolescent males range 77.6–85.5 cm TL; males reach maturity at 89–95 cm TL; smallest juvenile 20.2 cm TL (Last et al. 2008). There are no other details available regarding its ecology or life history.
|Use and Trade:
|The Deepwater Skate is not known to be traded. However, while most skates caught off southeastern Australia used to be discarded, there is now an increasing trend for the larger (adult) ones to be retained for the local market.
|Major Threat(s):
|The Deepwater Skate might be taken as bycatch within three of the four sectors of the Commonwealth managed Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery (SESSF) (that is, the East Coast Deepwater Trawl, Great Australian Bight Trawl (GABTS), and Commonwealth Trawl sectors). The current known distribution of this species overlaps entirely with these fisheries. The mean annual catch rate of the Deepwater Skate in the SESSF between 2000 and 2006 of 16 tonnes included 13 tonnes from the 200–599 depth range (Walker and Gason 2007). The GABTS upper continental slope sub-fishery operates in waters 200–700 m depth, so only in the shallower regions of this species' known range. The GABTS deepwater slope sub-fishery operates in waters from 700–1,000 m. However, waters deeper than 750 m are currently closed to protect stocks of Orange Roughy (Hoplostethus atlanticus) in both the GABTS and the Commonwealth Trawl Sector. Since the Deepwater Skate is most commonly found in waters 800–1,000 m, the impact of these fisheries on it is likely to be small. However, considering the bycatch level within the 200–599 m depth range and that the Deepwater Skate mainly occurs at deeper depths, the deepwater trawl fisheries are likely to be of concern to this species should the deep water be reopened in the future. Fishing effort in the East Coast Deepwater Trawl sector over recent years has been extremely low and is therefore of little concern, but should be monitored for increases in the future.
|Conservation Actions:
No species-specific conservation actions are currently in place for the Deepwater Skate. Given the vulnerability of large skates to overfishing, bycatch levels need to be monitored.

One of the most popular tools in technical analysis that is used to predict a shift in a stock's momentum is known as the relative strength index (RSI). This indicator's primary purpose is to determine when a given rally is becoming overbought or oversold. Generally speaking, readings below 30 suggest that the stock has been pushed to an unjustifiably low level, causing most bullish traders to start looking for a strategic entry position. On the other hand, readings above 70 are often used to suggest that the rally is getting exhausted and that the bears may be getting ready to send the stock lower.
The Basics
The indicator is plotted between a range of zero to 100 where 100 is the highest overbought condition and zero is the highest oversold condition. The RSI helps to measure the strength of a security's recent up moves compared to the strength of its recent down moves. This helps to indicate whether a security has seen more buying or selling pressure over the trading period.
The standard calculation uses 14 trading periods as the basis for the calculation which can be adjusted to meet the needs of the user. If the trading periods used is lowered then the RSI will be more volatile and is used for shorter term trades. (For more, see Ride The RSI Rollercoaster)
How It Is Used
As mentioned above, the most common method of applying the RSI is to use overbought and sold lines to generate buy-and-sell signals. In the RSI, the overbought line is typically set at 70 and when the RSI is above this level the security is considered to be overbought. The security is seen as oversold when the RSI is below 30. These values can be adjusted to either increase or decrease the amount of signals that are formed by the RSI. Let's take a look at a few stocks that have recently entered oversold territory because these could be candidates for a short-term rally when they get spotted by bargain hunters.
Company Name
RSI Value
Netflix Inc. (Nasdaq:NFLX)
Green Mountain Coffee Inc. (Nasdaq:GMCR)
Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. (NYSE:AEM)
Crocs Inc. (Nasdaq:CROX)
Illumina Inc. (Nasdaq:ILMN)
Bottom Line
The RSI is a standard component on any basic technical chart and is a great method of filtering stocks that could be setting up for a short-term rally. In most cases, traders will want to confirm any buy or sell signal by using other technical indicators or chart patterns to increase the probability that a predicted move will actually occur.

Nathan Sykes and bandmate Max George sparked The Wanted's split for solo careers
Posted: January 26, 2014|
Comments (0) Nathan Sykes and bandmate Max George instigated the split of boyband The Wanted.According to Max, lead singer of the band, he and Nathan were happy for the members to go their own ways after rows over girlfriends and bids for solo careers.Nathan is one of two band members to be offered a solo deal and on Twitter this weekend he revealed he is already writing songs.In an interview with The Sun on Sunday, he said that he and Nathan, 20, from Gloucester, were the most ambitious in the band and both wanted to go solo.He said: "Over the past year, there has been a lot of tension."Our personal lives drove us apart."He said their manager Scooter Braun asked who wanted to take a 'step out' after their Word of Mouth tour and go solo."Me and Nathan both said we have other ambitions," said Max."We were more prepared than the others... Nathan and I haven't broken any promises either because we're both going to be on the tour."Scooter, who also manages Justin Bieber, has only signed Max and Nathan as solo artists.Max said he believes Nathan, a former Ribston Hall pupil, will be the biggest success from the band's split.
"He's just a bundle of talent and he's got so much ambition.... he's had his first serious girlfriend with Ariana (Grande)."We've all known from the start he wanted to go solo."The Wanted's other boyband members are Tom Parker, Jat McGuiness and Siva Kaneswaran.
Wait I'm coming!! I've literally just written the best song I've ever written in my entire life and I'm recording it. It feels so special ❤

For the most part, the most shocking thing about Swerve is how utterly straightforward it is.
Despite the revved-up start and a suitably dusty setting, the movie stalls almost immediately. The story is uninspired, Lyons looks lost, and Booth makes for a bland femme fatale. Clarke tries to inject some energy into the action, but even he seems to realize this ride's going nowhere.

AnnuitiesAnnuities let you take full advantage of the power of tax deferral,###DISCLAIMER:2_0 Tax Advisor - 1### so your money has the potential to grow faster. You can also use an annuity to supplement your IRA or company retirement plan, since there's no maximum contribution limit.
How Tax-Deferred Annuities WorkAn annuity is an investment contract with an insurance company, which manages your investment on your behalf. You can buy an annuity with a single payment or make periodic payments.
Annuities have two broad phases:
- During the accumulation phase, you pay into your annuity and the earnings in your account grow on a fully tax-deferred basis.
- During the distribution phase, typically after age 59 1/2, you receive the full value of your account -- principal and interest -- in a lump sum or regular payments.###DISCLAIMER:2_0 Annuity Tax Penalty###
Fixed vs. Variable AnnuitiesThere are two basic types of annuities: fixed and variable. Which type is best for you depends on your individual situation, return expectations, time horizon, and tolerance for risk.
- A fixed annuity pays a set rate of return on your money, guaranteed for a specific time period, so you are protected against market volatility.
- A variable annuity gives you the opportunity to earn higher returns by investing in a diversified portfolio of securities. It is subject to greater volatility, however, including the risk of loss of principal.
Tax ConsiderationsAnnuity earnings are tax-deferred, not tax-free. Upon distribution, you will pay taxes at your current income tax rate on the interest you receive. Earnings left in the annuity, however, will continue to grow on a tax-deferred basis until withdrawn. There is no added tax-deferred advantage from investing qualified funds, such as an IRA, in an annuity.
When you purchase an annuity for an IRA or other qualified retirement plan, your contributions may be tax-deductible. Contributions to a nonqualified annuity are not tax-deductible.

Likewise, most agree that these incredibly small materials can behave quite differently from conventional materials. Nonetheless, neighborhood stores feature products that promise benefits from these near-atomic level materials, from paints and cosmetics to toothpaste and sunscreens. But, could we be putting human health at risk by exposing consumers to potentially toxic materials?
To investigate the damage potential of sub-micron sized particles, S.K. Sundaram and Thomas J. Weber, scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Richland, Wash., have harnessed living cells to monitor responses to a variety of biologically active test agents. They presented their findings Friday at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting.
"Our process requires that live cells be grown on an infrared transparent substrate giving us an opportunity to closely examine the biological effects in living cells," said Sundaram. Live cell Fourier transform infrared, FTIR, spectroscopy offers several attractive features for these investigations. These include the potential to detect biologically active nanoparticles without any prior knowledge of cell signaling pathways affected by them or need of a contrast agent to detect the biological response. Thus, live cell FTIR spectroscopy is expected to be a sentinel of exposure to help identify the physico-chemico properties of nanoparticles that mediate biological activity, without bias of what that biological activity represents.
The PNNL scientists are also developing infrared transparent chemistries that are expected to improve FTIR measurements in live cell experiments. "We believe this report outlines the first use of FTIR spectroscopy to exami

Well I'm 4 days late, and I don't have any reason to make me think AF is coming in the immediate future. No cramping, no irritability, no cravings, none of my usual PMS symptoms. I don't have any tests at home, and I can't bring myself to buy one yet.
It's not that I don't want a 2nd child, I most definitely want my DS to have a sibling growing up, but I just don't know if right now is the best time. I'm a SAHM and I'm not sure how I would be able to handle a 2 year old and a newborn, I'm worried about $, I'm worried about how DH will react, he wasn't even sure if he wanted a 2nd child.
Sorry I'm rambling, I know I need to just go out and buy a test already and find out, not finding out isn't going to make anything better.
If I am pregnant, I think I would be due around March 3rd.
Anyone else out there in the same boat?

The first day of spring was Friday. But here in New Mexico, we got an early start by celebrating Arbor Day on March 13.
While National Arbor Day is held on the last Friday in April, New Mexico, similar to several other states, observes the holiday at a time best suited for tree planting.
The Arbor Day Foundation encourages everyone to plant a tree to celebrate this special holiday. The Foundation's website (www.arborday.org) offers many helpful tips from how to plant a tree to selecting the right tree for the right place.
This event only begins our celebration of nature.
Under the leadership of the Pajarito Enironmental Education Center, we will work on April 18 as part of Clean Up Los Alamos Day.
Then, again under PEEC's efforts, we will honor Earth Day in Los Alamos County on April 22.
The first Arbor Day was celebrated in Nebraska on April 10, 1872, thanks to a resolution proposed by Nebraska City, Neb., resident J. Sterling Morton.
Morton, a civic leader, agriculturist and former newspaper editor, urged Nebraskans to "set aside one day to plant trees, both forest and fruit."

KAPALUA, HAWAII (AP) - Steve Stricker is back on Maui, a familiar place for a guy who has won on the PGA Tour in each of the last three years to qualify for the season-opening Tournament of Champions.
Not so familiar are some of the guys he'll be trying to beat.
Twelve players in the 28-man field are at Kapalua for the first time, more evidence of change on the PGA Tour. A year ago, Stricker didn't know who most of them were.
Keegan Bradley? He was known more as the nephew of LPGA great Pat Bradley until he won two times, including that unlikely comeback in Atlanta to capture the PGA Championship in his first try at a major.
Jhonattan Vegas was the first PGA Tour member from Venezuela. Scott Stallings? Brendan Steele?
"I know them now a little bit," Stricker said Thursday on the eve of the opening round.
The PGA Tour season gets under way Friday. It wants to get away from the NFL playoffs on Sunday, so the final round will end Monday just before the BCS Championship game starts.
The Tournament of Champions will be missing 11 players who didn't or couldn't make it to Hawaii. It's the biggest list of no-shows since this tournament moved to Kapalua in 1999, though it's a product of the changing world of golf.
Three of the players are recovering from injuries, five of them are based overseas and Luke Donald, the No. 1 player in the world, just finished a whirlwind trip around the world that took him deep into December. Like many other players, this is his offseason.
That's not the only change.
Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods are no longer part of the top 10 in the world ranking. There are no Americans among the top five in the world ranking for the first time in nearly two decades. And even without the likes of U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy, Masters champion Charl Schwartzel or Martin Kaymer in Hawaii, the young guys are making a strong push.
There were 13 winners in their 20s last year, and nine of them are at Kapalua
"There's been a transformation of players out here, and it was going to happen eventually," said Stricker, who turns 45 next month. "We saw Tiger and Phil slip out of the top 10, and we have some European players coming in there _ young European players and young Americans _ playing well and stepping right up early on in their careers. So it's fun to see.
"Right now it seems that young is good."
His hope is that experience still counts for something, especially on the Plantation Course at Kapalua that is unlike any other course the players will see all year. The course was built on a mountain, offering severe changes in elevation, massive greens with slope and grain, and uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean.

Nearly 20 months after teenage twins in Baltimore were arrested for setting fire to a Pit bull puppy named Phoenix, one of the young men was arrested again on attempted murder charges.
There may finally be justice for Phoenix, the Pit bull puppy who gained national attention when she was doused with gasoline and lit on fire for sport in May 2009.
Police arrested twin brothers Travers and Tremayne Johnson for the horrific crime, but 20 months later neither teen has been brought to trial.
At the time of the cruel act Baltimore police officer Syreeta Teel rushed to the dog's aid and put the fire out with her sweater.
She said in an interview, "There were people around, but nobody was doing anything, so I got out of the car, took off my sweater and starting hitting her to put the fire out."
"It was just sad, because I've never heard a dog make this sound. This scream that she made, I've never heard before."
The nearly one year-old dog was taken to the Baltimore Animal Rescue & Care Shelter (BARCS) and in spite of her pain she arrived wagging her tail at her caregivers. The rescue workers nicknamed her Phoenix.
The shelter used their emergency funds to send Phoenix to an animal hospital for intensive treatment.
The veterinarians said they had never seen a dog with burns on every part of her body – even the pads of her feet were scorched. They also found puncture wounds that led them to believe she was used in dogfights.
The public fell in love with Phoenix and donations poured in for her care, but one week later the dog lost her battle when a secondary infection caused her kidneys to fail.
Up until last week the Johnson brothers seemed to be living a charmed life. Charges were dropped against them for having a gun and marijuana in their home and their trial for the death of Phoenix is still weeks away.
But on January 9 everything changed when Travers Johnson was arrested for attempted murder, assault and handgun violations. His arraignment is January 27, 2011.
With these charges and an upcoming trial for animal cruelty and mutilation maybe justice will finally be served for Phoenix.
Last month The Animal Legal Defense Fund released their annual report that ranks the strength of animal cruelty laws in each state. Illinois ranked number one for strong laws to protect animals, Maryland (Baltimore) came in at 43. The worst state in the country is Kentucky. Click Here to read the entire story.

Oh Mi Dog
there is no excuse for this crime. None. No pardon.
This is heinous. They should have been punished immediately. As I write in nearly every post like this, someone who can do this to an animal will not stop there, they will also harm people. the evidence is right here in this story.Letting people off easy, just makes them think that what they did was not so bad - then they go on and commit further crimes - be it to animals or people.
Disgusting !!!!!
A child over the age of 7 knows right from wrong. Anyone who commits such a heinous action should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the humane law. We must make the world aware of animal cruelty and speak loudly and firmly with one global voice to end it. Let's unite against it.
CPR for the animals,
Let's Be Their Angels
No words :@(
horrible !!!!!!!!!
The fact that they committed this heinous act of cruelty and then one of them attempted to commit murder is in no way surprising. The majority of serial killers started out by torturing animals. These two sociopaths should be locked away forever. Those who commit acts like this cannot be redeemed.
This is one of the stories that I can relate to concerning another story that stated Children Should Not Get Jail Time or something to that affect. The story went on to state that it was child abuse to lock a child up for a long time I believe it was. My comment to that story was that there were some children who not only needed to be locked away for the rest of their lives but that for some of the heinous crimes that these evil spawns were capable of committing, as far as I was concerned they needed to be stoned and burned, ALONG with their parents to make sure no more evil seeds like these were born. THIS is a case in point!!!
No child of mine could do something like this and live with me!
Why are these people getting away with animal torture? Our state doesn't give a shit? They figure we are paying taxes for animal testing Out of OUR TAXES. They don't give a crap about anything as long we are paying the price.
Screw You NY!!

Elijah Muhammad, in "How to Eat to Live," on the matter of swine:
"The hog takes away the beautiful appearance of people and takes away their shyness. The people who eat the hog have no shyness because they eat the hog. Nature did not give the hog any shyness. God, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, taught me that the scientists have found that the hog carries 999 poisonous germs in it and they are not 100 percent poison, but nearly 1000 percent poison. The swine takes away our life gradually and creates worms in our bodies. The worms eat away our digestive tracts and cause bad thinking."
However, I'm told that bacon tastes good.
