Rodolfo Navarrete
Rodolfo learned to dance as a boy growing up in Chile at the regular Sunday family get-togethers at the house of his maternal grandfather, a native of Peru with an extensive knowledge of Latin music and dance. Rhythms such as bolero, son, danzon and cumbia were the staple of Rodolfo's childhood. In his teens Rodolfo devoted himself to hapkido, a Korean martial art, but at the end of the '90s, as the salsa craze was sweeping South America, he realized he could turn his childhood passion into a profession and found his true vocation as a dancer, performer and choreographer.
In Chile at that time, salsa was danced to with steps and moves adopted from rock 'n roll and other dance forms. Together with a few friends, Rodolfo started traveling back and forth to neighboring Argentina, where the salsa scene was already more advanced. In the wake of Eli Irizarri's groundbreaking 1997 Puerto Rican salsa congress, congresses were being organized in Argentina featuring salsa greats such as the Vasquez brothers, Stacey Lopez, Jason Molina and Papa Tambor, as well as the Argentinean dance company 2×4 Mambo. Back in his own country Rodolfo started his own dance school, introducing mambo or 'on2' and cross-body style salsa to Chile. In 2003 he was involved as a volunteer in Chile's 1st International Salsa Congress. In 2005 he teamed up with the Argentinean teenage prodigy and current salsa world champion Karen Forcano. They performed throughout South America together and even appeared on television several times.
In 2008 Rodolfo was invited to come to Poland to help cope with the ever-growing demand for salsa instructors there. Excited about the opportunity to expand his frontiers, Rodolfo was soon giving classes at various schools in Poland. He enjoyed the environment and was happy to be able to work on his English skills, which he needed to improve quickly in order to give classes. He found a dance partner in Evelina Kucko, with whom he started teaching and performing throughout Poland and at salsa congresses all over Europe. It was a very instructive and inspiring period for Rodolfo, as it gave him a chance to associate with and learn from some of the best dancers around. In 2009 he won the first prize as a solo dancer at the Mambo Weekend in Wuppertal.
That same year Rodolfo came to Amsterdam, where he felt very much at home. He soon decided to stay and started teaching classes for Extremos, and after that for other schools in Amsterdam, SwingLatino and LA Salsa, as well as for Salsamotion in Haarlem and SalsaAntigua in Amersfoort. At the beginning of 2014 Rodolfo finally opened his own school in Amsterdam, SalsaAmsterdam, together with his current partner Janneke Bexkens, where he teaches classes in salsa, mambo, cha-cha, pachanga and Afro-Cuban, among others, all in his unique style, forged through a lifetime of dancing and learning

|Thrombosis and hemorrhage in the acute period following Gamma Knife surgery for arteriovenous malformation. Case report.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 19249934 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Bleeding of an arteriovenous malformation (AVM) following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a known risk during the latency interval, but hemorrhage in the 30-day period following radiosurgery rarely has been reported in the literature. The authors present the case of a 57-year-old man who underwent Gamma Knife surgery for a large AVM, and they provide radiographic documentation of a thrombus in the primary draining vein immediately preceding an AVM hemorrhage within 9 days after radiosurgery. They postulate that the pathophysiology of an AVM hemorrhage in the acute period following SRS is related to an association among tissue irradiation, acute inflammatory response, and vessel thrombosis. The authors also review the literature on risk factors for hemorrhage due to untreated and radiosurgically treated AVMs. Recent evidence on the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of AVMs and the pathophysiology of AVM rupture is presented. Inflammatory markers have been demonstrated in brain AVM tissue, and the association between inflammation and AVM hemorrhage has been established. There is an acute inflammatory response following tissue irradiation, resulting in structural and functional vascular changes that can lead to vessel thrombosis. Early hemorrhage following radiosurgical treatment of AVMs may be related to the acute inflammatory response and associated vascular changes that occur in irradiated tissue. In the first stage of a planned 2-stage Gamma Knife treatment for a large AVM in the featured case, the superior posteromedial portion of the primary draining vein was included in the treatment field. The authors present the planning images and subsequent CT scans demonstrating a new venous thrombus in the primary draining vein. An acute inflammatory response following radiosurgery with resultant acute venous thrombus formation and venous obstruction is proposed as one mechanism of an AVM hemorrhage in this patient. Radiographic evidence of the time course of thrombosis and hemorrhage supports the hypothesis that acute venous obstruction is a cause of intracranial hemorrhage.

Brady is a great example of working hard to prepare for when the moment hits.
Absolutely. But my question boils down to whether guys like Brady would have succeeded, and to what extent they would have succeeded, had they essentially had to start from scratch whenever they got their chance. We know for a fact that Manning did. And we have a before and after shot of what happened to the Colts when he wasn't playing, and how well the Patriots did when Brady missed a season. In my mind that's what makes Manning the better QB than Brady and Montana (not including guys before my time like Unitas).
NOTE: I'm creating a new thread devoted to discussing who the better player is.

Apple's Next Television Service Could Allow You To Skip Ads
A big new rumor suggest Apple is chasing tech that would skip ads on its next TV-tech effort. That implies live TV is on the way!
For a long while now we've heard rumors that Apple is in discussions with different TV content sources to deliver shows and movies for its TV effort, but the latest rumor has added a new wrinkle. The word is that Apple has been looking at a subscription service that includes live programming and lets viewers skip ad breaks automatically.
A former Wall Street Journal reporter is the source of the new rumors via an anonymous insider. Apple's current TV tech is all about playback of previously archived material either via a user's iTunes setup or a streaming source like Netflix. The move to include live TV would indicate a huge change for Apple, and could signify that it's closer to a future digital TV product than was previously assumed. The idea of a subscription model that allows ad-skipping is particularly interesting, because it means Apple is considering offsetting the network's ad revenues via income from users.

You can't skip live commercials.
Very good Kit,
With the big push for mobile right now, I've been noting how t.v. interfacing might be the next big thing- literally. Interesting to hear Apple might be pushing here. I like what I hear about cutting out ads, but I wonder if subscription is really the underlying business model that will drive this. It's too conventional. In any case, I think the issue is more a matter of paradigm. When you say "offset" the ad revenue model, that's assuming ads are a necessary basis. In social media platforms for instance, I've dealt with companies that charge subscription and have a range of ad controls, but I still think they miss the point. I think the shift in thinking has to orient on the end-user experience, and people don't want advertisements, and I don't think appreciate paying "not" to have advertisements. Keep in mind with web interface t.v.'s people can interact with media in new ways, so I think product/ service placement right within entertainment, and then complemented with "selective discovery" tools like Ooyala where you can highlight a car you see and dive in to greater detail if interested in learning more.
Best, Anthony

The quiet period is about to get a little bit noisier. On December 1, new rules will go into effect governing the public statements of CEOs on the eve of initial public offerings. The changes come after quiet period violations befell the founders of Salesforce.com and Google prior to their 2004 IPOs. Established as part of the Securities Act of 1933, the quiet period was intended to prevent companies from hyping their stock before investors had access to complete financial information. But the rules were always a little vague and enforced irregularly. Some critics argued that CEOs cited quiet period rules in order to dodge tough questions.
Then, last year, the SEC admonished Google's Sergey Brin and Larry Page for granting an interview to Playboy. Regulators forced Google to attach a copy of the article to its prospectus to clarify a few numbers and remind potential investors of certain risks. Meanwhile, Salesforce.com was forced to postpone its offering for 30 days after the SEC discovered CEO Marc Benioff had talked to The New York Times. (Both IPOs were extremely well received.)
Under the new rules, pre-IPO companies will be able to provide basic information to the media, meaning that neither of last year's controversies would have happened.

For 35 years, C-SPAN has pursued its mission to make government more open to the American public, telecasting political proceedings in millions of households across the country. But before it became the service it is today - available in 100 million American homes, providing access each week to hundreds of public affairs and political events, U.S. governmental proceedings, international procedures and reaction, non-fiction book discussions and American history features - C-SPAN began with only four employees. Those four - Brian Lamb, Jana Dabrowski (Fay), Don Houle, and Brian Lockman - transmitted the television feed from the U.S. House of Representatives on March 19, 1979, the first day the House allowed television coverage.
This first televised congressional session began with a one-minute speech by then-Congressman Al Gore and reached nearly three million American homes. It marked the beginning for C-SPAN, but for founder Brian Lamb and the infant network's member cable companies who then provided - and still provide - its funding, the House feed was only the beginning. C-SPAN added what became its signature call-in program the following year, in order to provide a direct conduit between the American public and the nation's political leaders, government officials, journalists and other policymakers. In 1982, the network expanded from eight to first 16, and then 24 hours, enabling the network to add a wider variety of programming content to viewers, while maintaining its original commitment to carry the proceedings of the U.S. House, gavel-to-gavel.
In 1986, when the U.S. Senate also voted to televise its proceedings, C-SPAN launched a second channel, C-SPAN2, to provide unfiltered, gavel-to-gavel access to that body. On weekends ever since 1998, C-SPAN2 becomes BookTV, which covers non-fiction book and author events.
When the House and Senate are in session, C-SPAN commits to covering both bodies in their entirety, without interruption or editing. This is a voluntary commitment; there is no contract with Congress to carry proceedings. Because of this commitment, neither C-SPAN nor C-SPAN2 will break away for any other event - for instance, a White House announcement, Congressional hearing or political rally. Therefore, in 2001, C-SPAN3 launched to provide access to additional public affairs events, many of them live, in Washington as well as across the country and the world. On weekends, C-SPAN3 becomes American History TV, created in 2011 to maximize access to historical lectures, oral histories, video features and special series.
Beginning in 1988, with a letter to then-Chief Justice William Rehnquist, C-SPAN has asked the top institution in the third branch of American government, the United States Supreme Court, to allow cameras to cover oral argument. To date, the Court has refused this request. In 1989, however, C-SPAN televised its first live oral argument, a case before the then-U.S. Court of Military Appeals (now the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces). Since that date, the network has televised more than 100 oral arguments before courts which do allow cameras, including the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces in Washington, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (headquartered in San Francisco), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (based in New York City), as well as the state supreme courts, all of which televise oral argument. And though the U.S. Supreme Court still refuses to allow cameras, C-SPAN airs the audio of each Supreme Court oral argument. It also televises dozens of speeches by and events with the nine individual justices each year, and regularly airs roundtables, panel discussions and other programs concerning the cases before the court, as well as live reaction to oral argument from the steps in front of the Supreme Court building on argument days. On occasion, when the national interest dictates, C-SPAN will cover lower court proceedings, such as when it telecast several cases in the Leon County trial court in Tallahassee in 2000, during the presidential election results dispute in Florida.
C-SPAN today has nearly 300 employees and averages 8,000 hours of original programming every year. In 1997, it added C-SPAN Radio, available in the Washington, DC area and nationwide on Sirius-XM. The radio station provides yet another, separate conduit for public affairs programming. All four streams of programming - from C-SPAN, C-SPAN2, C-SPAN3, and C-SPAN Radio - are available via a mobile app for both iOS and Android.
C-SPAN is the recipient of dozens of national awards and citations, including three Peabodys: one for institutional excellence in 1993 for its coverage of the 1992 presidential election, one in the historical documentary category for its 1999 American Presidents series, and one in 2011 for its comprehensive video library, which first became available online in 2007, and expanded to include all content in 2010.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Samuel Kent lost a motion to have his obstruction of justice charge dropped or moved to a different trial.
Today, he copped a plea and announced his intent to retire. According to the Wall Street Journal Law Blog:
The jurist pleaded guilty to one count of obstruction of justice today and retired from the bench, avoiding a trial on several charges that he sexually abused two female employees….
"Judge Kent believes that this settlement is in the best interest of all involved," his attorney, Dick DeGuerin, said after this morning's hearing. "A trial would have been long, embarrassing and difficult for all involved."
Long and difficult? Sounds about right.

|Angiotensin II receptor blockade with valsartan decreases plasma osteopontin levels in patients with essential hypertension.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20664555 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Osteopontin (OPN) has recently emerged as a key factor in both vascular remodelling and development of atherosclerosis. It has been reported that OPN is regulated by the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of angiotensin II receptor blockade with valsartan on plasma OPN levels in patients with essential hypertension (EHT). Forty-six patients (mean age, 64±11 years) with EHT were randomly assigned to treatment with amlodipine or valsartan. There were no significant differences in baseline clinical characteristics between the two groups. Blood sampling and blood pressure evaluation were performed before and after 24 weeks of treatment. After 24 weeks, both systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were decreased significantly and by the same degree in each treatment group. However, valsartan but not amlodipine decreased plasma OPN levels (baseline and 24-week data-valsartan: 614±224 ng ml(-1), 472±268 ng ml(-1), P=0.006; amlodipine: 680±151 ng ml(-1), 687±234 ng ml(-1), P>0.999). A positive correlation between the reduction in OPN and the log natural (ln) C-reactive protein (CRP) was seen in the valsartan-treated group. Stepwise regression analysis showed that treatment with valsartan and the reduction of ln CRP were associated with the reduction in OPN levels, and this association was independent of the reduction in SBP or aldosterone levels (valsartan: β=0.332, P=0.026; ln CRP reduction: β=0.366, P=0.015). These results suggest that suppression of the RAAS and inflammation may decrease plasma OPN levels.

It takes more courage still to kneel down in the confessional and accuse ourselves of each sin by name. Yes this has always been the inevitable corollary to a close relationship with God. We all want to know God's nearness, His help, His fatherly love. However, all that comes, inevitably, with an increased awareness of of His goodness, His purity, and His perfect judgement. The prophet Isaiah suddenly found himself in the presence of God, surrounded by glory, attended by angels. What did he do? He made his confession: "Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!" (Is 6:5) The apostle Peter witnessed a small miracle and immediately threw himself at the feet of Jesus, begging, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man!" (Lk 5:8)
Sin is not out there; it's deep inside you and me. "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander. These are what defile a man." (Mt 15:19-20). What's wrong with the world? I am, because I sin, and my sin well up from the darkness in my own heart…Its impossible to understand sin unless we first understand grace. We can't understand what we lose until we first understand what we have. For grace is what we lose when we sin; and there's no greater loss we can suffer.

Locate Your Local Lustful Personals at Ulust.com
The Jist:
The moment you enter the main page at Ulust.com, you immediately see all available hotties within your area. Although that feature is not that revolutionary, you must admit that it's always heartwarming to have such attentive female neighbors who welcome you as soon as you step through the door.
It seems that everyone at Ulust.com is looking to score. No matter when you decide to log in, you'll always find a satisfactory selection of hotrod riders who are more than happy to take that nasty ride with you all night long. But before all that, you can engage yourself in some foreplay activities, such as: participating in live video chats, inviting friends to your network, watching or recording member videos and rating hot ULust.com's members.
I can't believe I'm going to say this, but when you're exposed to so much bare boobs, you find yourself actually yearning for a little less exposed flesh. What this probably means is that sometimes I prefer to feel that I was the one who made her show off her knockers, that she's doing it just for me, not the whole fucking world. Nonetheless, it's the last time you'll ever hear me complaining...
Average cost for a premium membership is 22.98 per month.
Top Tips:
Check out 'My Lust' feature. That wonderful option enables you define your special preferences and get that hot and constantly updating list directly to your mailbox.

Fucking Hot Babes - and I do Mean That Literally
The Jist:
To tell you the truth, if the babes on my black book were half as sexy as the busty women I found on this website, maybe I'd be hanging out with them instead of spending my precious time with you assholes. However, since most of my X-girlfriends have fugly as a middle name, thank God that an online sex community like XXXblackbook.com exists.
I just love the fact this site offers phonesex. Sure - it's not free phone sex, but the moaning and groaning sex chat I got were pretty fucking priceless. Also, the chicks you'll find on this adult date site are so hot that they can roast sausages, and they certainly took a good care of mine.
This relatively new site is still in the medium-sized category and if it wants to get into the major league (and it sure as fuck has the potential) it needs to get a bigger database of members. I love the selection they offer, but some categories - like sexy swingers for example, simply don't have all that many options.
Average cost is for membership is 29.95 per month and if you want to enjoy all the hardcore extras, gold membership is 34.95. Signing up is free of charge and you get a nice discount if you buy for three months ahead.
Top Tips:
Don't waste your time with the free sex tour. Only paying members get access to the free recorded nude shows and other orgasm-inducing materials. If you're the "Scared of Commitment" type, just use the 10 day trail membership.

Allow Yourself to Get Real Naughty on BeNaughty.com
The Jist:
Finally a site that deserves its name � BeNaughty.com is a very naughty site that inspires its horny users to do the same. There are plenty of swingers and horny singles ready to play online and there are many features and interactive tools that will allow you to get to know them, intimately, and intensely. Just be sure to leave all shyness and restrictions at the door, because they have no place on this juicy, lusty platform.
Personally, I really like the Ice Breakers, which are kind of On Liners that you can send any woman you like free of charge. They ease up the tension of having to impress hundreds of women without losing originality and you can find charming as well as hilarious options to choose from in a click of a mouth.
The 1 month membership is not cheap, so you will need to find the courage and commit for a longer term. However, considering the number of babes you will want to check out here, I am guessing that you may as well sign up for 6 months anyway � even that is not close to being enough.

Indulge Your Sexual Fantasies with Other Adult Members in Your Area
The Jist:
It seems that Fling.com is the home of all the people who are looking for unconventional sex within your area code. It's not that I'm complaining, but it's somewhat ironic that on the one day of the year I was looking for traditional, monogamistic casual sex, all this kinkiness was flung into my face. Oh well, such is life � guess I�ll have to give up romance and satisfy myself with meaningless, intense fucking with strange, horny women.
Fling.com has a number of cute features that a lot of other dating sites gave up on, including video chat, a �blackbook� feature, the ability to "safely" search (meaning: shut off viewing of explicit photos and video feeds) and put your profile in discreet mode (only allowing people in your blackbook to view your profile). Members added to your blackbook are entitled to view your discreet profile photos. Other members can also ask you to include them in your blackbook and their names will be listed on the pending list. You are the only one who can approve their request. One section of your blackbook is tagged Friends and the other one is Favorites and you can add members you like more in your favorites list. I tell ya, I've never been this organized in my whole life.
There are indubitably more men than women on the site. In the areas I searched, users were mainly heterosexual men in their early 20's, with more or less 10 men for every woman. That sucks ass considering the fact that I am, and always will be, a big fan of female genitalia.
Basic membership is completely free of charge, but notice that this is a limited time offer folks and I ain�t promising that if you keep waiting around with your thumb up your ass, it�ll still be there when you drop by. Average cost for a premium membership is $24.95 per month. A 3 day trial costs $4.95. If you sign up for a year you�ll pay around $11.80 or whatever � it�s $139.95 for 12 months and I�m not a math genius, OK? If I were maybe I�d be working on my thesis instead of chatting with your dumbasses.
Top Tips:
As a Premium Member (silver or gold), you're entitled to an additional 3 month membership, free of charge, if you can�t hook up with anyone in the initial 3 months. In other words if you're a slow worker, Fling.com is here to help!

Real Amateurs - Genuine Action
The Jist:
You'll have to have patience when you go on this slightly-chaotic joy ride - but it is enjoyable, and it is one hell of a ride. Unlike similar web sites which usually tend to be heavily spammed, the stay-at-home-moms, naughty redheads and long-legged swingers you'll find at amateurmatch.com are - generally speaking - for real.
I have a BIG appetite, and I like to have different dishes on my plate, so I was happy to see that AmateurMatch.com had both lots of members and a great variety to choose from. All I needed to do was go through the menu and see what I felt like.
The search option is kind of terrible. Not that I object to going through thousands of pictures of semi-naked women, but some people do have to work, you know? At least that's what I've heard.
Cost for full access is 24.95 per month, and in my opinion it's enough for anything you need. If you want to get a little extra though, for 29.95, which really isn't that big of a difference, you'll become a VIP member.
Top Tips:
As a paying member, you'll receive access to some awesome treats like a taste of XXX shows, pic galleries, and computer games where people do dirty, naughty things. This is all very cool, but remember that you're paying to meet real fuck-buddies, so don't waste too much of your precious time with these naked images. I have, but it's a known fact that I'm not very clever.

We Got So Friendly That I had to Change My Shorts
The Jist:
For all you romantic lovelorn fools or - more accurately - horny sex-seekers out there, this is a place where you can hang your hat. AdultFriendFinder.com is pretty fucking fantastic when it comes to variety, and even if you are a short, fat man with hairy eyebrows and a tail looking for a petite redhead from Mars with big boobs, sharp ears and lesbian tendencies, chances are you'd find exactly what you're looking for.
The site prides itself on having over 24 million members worldwide, and they have a pretty cool search system that lets you find people in your area. So, if you ever wanted to get kinky with the bored and not-so-desperate housewife next door - here's your chance.
Let's put it on the table, folks. The site's main goal it to help people get laid. The busty, interracial lesbo couple seeking to meet a buff, guy partner for adult games isn't talking about a wild night of Scrabble. Of course, having a constant hard-on myself, it works for me. If you are looking for real love, however, it might take you awhile to find people with pure intentions.
Average cost is 19.95 to 29.95 for one month of pleasure. The site has different memberships with different benefits, but I'm sure you can figure them out on your own
Top Tips:
If, like me, you're cheap assholes who are into finding real action all year round, pick an annual membership. It saves like 50% of the price per month, and as my old pa used to say, "paying less makes the pussy taste sweeter."

Plenty of Love - The Filthy, Sticky, Birthday Suit Kind
The Jist:
If you're a North American, and you want to get it on with a willing hottie, AdultLove.com is a fine place to start your own private online sex party. The registration process is short and sweet, and you can start searching through the babes' profiles as soon as you sign up for free. The site has all the juicy categories: swingers, couples, singles, etc., and I do recommend you try them all.
The site gets my frank "Hurray!" for not making me describe my hobbies and history as part of the registration process and for having one of the most user-friendly attitudes I've seen. Also, I like the fact that I could block people from messaging me. I'm a popular guy, you know, and all those busty blondes tend to be vindictive.
You really can't do much as long as you don't pay - but I guess it's fair. Also, I think the site's design needs some serious upgrading. I thought that red-hearts-motive was slightly tacky.
Average cost is 19.95 to 29.95 per month of chatting, flirting, and crazy nights of lust. As with all similar sites, you need to remember to cancel your membership, or you're billed again automatically.
Top Tips:
If you make a mistake on your profile - like, for example, writing that you are a lesbian brunette instead of a hairy, muscular guy - and you want to correct it, the friendly FAQ will tell you exactly how.

HookUp.com - Find a Sexy Romance or a Casual Fling
The Jist:
Hookup.com is the ideal online spot for all of you who are seeking 'no strings attached' sexual encounters, adult cyber action and more. The basic membership is totally free, although an upgrade to premium membership is essential if you'd like to interact with other members, to look at their full-sized pictures or to access the site's extra features.
You can protect your anonymity by blocking unwelcome members and creating your very own Friends List. The advanced search feature enables you to find hot dates within a defined distance from where you live. This works beautifully for U.S. users (by entering Zip code) and for other countries (by the city name).
Searches might be slow from time to time. The majority of searches on HookUp.com lead to a great number of bios of sexy babes in explicit poses. Whether these are all real is pretty vague. However, Hookup.com seems to offer real women as well, although the paying members' database is a bit smaller than other adult dating sites.
Standard Membership: free of charge; Paid Membership Plans: 1 Month Membership: 29.95; 3 Month Membership: 69.95

Even if you weren't able to hook up with a hot chick right away, bear in mind that Hookup.com offers additional adult services like: live video chat, web cam shows and XXX games.

Being hung, I believe that the old saying about how "size doesn't matter" was made up by guys with tiny cocks and the new and improved WildMatch.com pProves my point. This sex dating site is big, user friendly and full of options, which is just like I like my women when you come to think of it. Now, bigger and better than ever, it offers its users naked galleries, free video chat and even bonus credits.
The free chat option is FANTASTIC. This means you can talk with the babes online before you pay for private chat and find out if they're worth your time. Judging from my cum-soaked keyboard, I guess you could say most of them are.
Some of the features don't work smoothly yet and the website isn't all that user-friendly as it used to be. However, since it was only recently changed, I'm going to cut it some slack.
Average cost is 29.95 for 1 month of the wildest sex chat and XXX dating you can imagine. You get 30 bonus private chat credits when you sign up and even more, if you commit for a longer period of time.

Get Kinky with Flirtatious Babes on Flirt.com
The Jist:
I was a tad discouraged by the name of Flirt.com, because let's be honest: Flirting is not what I have in mind when I sign up for an adult dating site. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of babes registered to the site and from what I've seen they have a lot more than flirtations on their kinky, dirty minds.
The best thing about this dating site is that women get to message guys for free. It doesn�t ensure that anyone will send you a message of course, but it does make the ladies very generous with their communication, and this clearly improves your chances of getting some.
If you are looking for face to face encounters, you better be living in central cities, because the further you are from large metropolitans, the harder it would be for you to find enough partners looking for a one night stand.
There is a free membership, or kind of � because it's not enough to get anything done on this site. The upgrade will cost you $31.50 for one month, but there is a much cheaper deal: Sign up for a full year membership and you'll only be paying $8.80 per month.

Signing up for a full year will save you, and not just a bit. It can be as much a as third of the original per month price, which means that if you�re thinking about 3 months, you may as well sign up for 12, because cash-wise the difference is pretty insignificant.

|Detection of dimethylarginines in protein hydrolysates by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16403427 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|We report a method to detect the presence of dimethylarginines on proteins. Peptides with dimethylarginines were hydrolyzed in acid. The hydrolysates were subjected to matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometric analysis using a mixture of alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid and nitrocellulose as matrix. Both asymmetric omega-N(G),N(G)-dimethylarginine and symmetric omega-N(G),N(G')-dimethylarginine give a clear signal at m/z 203. Recombinant Sbp1p modified by Hmt1p in vivo were isolated by affinity chromatography followed by electrophoresis on a polyacrylamide gel and subjected to acid hydrolysis. MALDI-TOF analysis of the acid hydrolysates confirmed the presence of dimethylarginines. The detection limit of the method is estimated at approximately 1pmol of protein.

Dealing With De-Dupe Doubts
Data de-duplication has become a hot technology, given the urgent need storage managers have to reduce the bulk of backed-up data. And users appear happy with it -- despite a range of questions regarding vendor claims.
A word on the market: Besides early implementers Avamar, Data Domain, and Diligent, other vendors like Falconstor and Sepaton are getting ready to include data de-duplication into products. Symantec has introduced it. Meanwhile, consolidation is underway as EMC spent $165 million to buy Avamar earlier this month, and ADIC (now Quantum) shelled out $63 million to buy Rocksoft in March. (See EMC Picks Up Avamar, ADIC in De-Dupe Deal, and Symantec Dips Into De-Dupe.)
Each of the key de-duplication players claims striking consolidation ratios -- figures that don't appear to be playing out in actuality. Despite this, the level of consolidation users are really getting is good enough to satisfy them for now.
"We have two boxes. I'm getting about 12:1 [consolidation] on one and 9:1e on the other," says network administrator Lance Jeffrey of Idaho Central Credit Union. He's using de-duplication gear from Data Domain, which claims its systems can achieve 20:1 to 50:1 ratios.
Jeffrey explains the disparity between the vendor's claim and what he's getting down to the amount of image files on his network, which aren't as easy to de-dupe as other kinds of files.

Brother's memory inspires Jeannette native Nic Milito on golf course
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Sometimes golf is more than just a game.
Jeannette native Nic Milito has been an avid golfer for as long as he can remember. Nic's brother, Anthony, always supported his brother's passion for the sport, but never got into the game himself.
These days, though, Anthony is with Nic every time he golfs. Every single round.
In fact, earlier this month, Anthony helped his brother win the Westmoreland County Amateur golf tournament.
Anthony died in a motorcycle accident last September at the age of 21. Nic, 25, dedicated the tournament win to his brother's memory.
"It's always nice when you put a lot of hard work into something, and you see results come from it," said Nic. "It was tough, after everything that happened to my family, but it gives me a little more comfort knowing that my brother is with me all the time. That makes we want to play better and continue to succeed for him."
Pride, excitement and remnants of pain were obvious in Nic's voice as he described the victory. The circumstances of the championship tournament made the event extra-special — and that much more emotional. In a touching twist of fate, Nic was paired his first cousins, twin brothers Ronald and David DeNunizo, on the final day of the tournament.
The trio finished Saturday's round within one stroke of each other atop the leader board before Nic pulled ahead on Sunday and won with a three-under-par 137.
It was his third title in the past four years at the event.
The last time Nic won the title was in 2011 when he edged out his cousin David for the victory in what was also an emotional tournament during which they played in memory of Denise DeNunzio — Nic's aunt and David's mother — who had died of cancer just two months before.
Nic, David and Ronald have played golf together for years, but this competition marked the first time they've been paired together in the final round of a major tournament.
Emotions were pumping for the entire family, those on the course, those watching from the sidelines and those there in spirit.
"It was special," Nic said of playing with his cousins. "We spend a lot of time together, trying to make ourselves as good as possible. Losing my aunt, their mother, two years ago and then Anthony, those are experiences we never thought we'd be a part of. But we keep moving forward . . . we have to do everything in our power to live our lives in their honor, and that's what we've been trying to do."
Nic, who played collegiately at IUP, practices virtually every day and plays in tournaments nearly every week during golf season. This summer, he has been has been at or atop the leader board more often.
"It's gotten me to the point where I want to continue to succeed for him, and do it in his honor," said Nic. "This summer, especially, I've been playing pretty well. I credit (Anthony) for a lot of that."
Nic's next goal is to win the Pennsylvania Amateur Golf Championship, which will be held July 29-31 at Saucon Valley Country Club, near Allentown.
"This year has been kind of a breakthrough year for me," he said. "If I play really well, and with a little bit of luck, this could be the year (I win the Pennsylvania amateur)."
Ultimately, Nic hopes to turn pro.
"That's the goal right now," he said. "When you're playing well, you want to keep the momentum going."
Nic knows that's something Anthony would have loved to see.
"It's tough not having him here," he said. "I really want to do something that would make him proud."
It seems Nic already has.

The official site for My Lifetime Commitment
Lifetime's Remarkable Women campaign honors extraordinary women who inspire and empower others to make a difference in their communities and the world.
January 7: Martina Fuchs
Inspired by lessons learned after working for months in the tsunami relief efforts in Sri Lanka, Dr. Martina C. Fuchs created the Real Medicine Foundation providing support to people living in disaster and poverty stricken areas struggling to rebuild their lives.
Martina Fuchs Dr. Martina C. Fuchs is the Founder and CEO of the Real Medicine Foundation. She is a physician, specialized in pediatrics, who has worked and trained at Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, Germany; Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California; Dr. Félix Bulnes Hospital, Santiago de Chile, Chile, among others. She holds a PhD in pediatric psychiatry and graduated magna cum laude from Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn, Germany. She holds a fellowship in pediatric intensive care and is also trained in alternative medicine. Martina Fuchs has hosted the TV show Guardian Angels, MD on TLC.
Dr. Fuchs founded the Real Medicine Foundation in May 2005 inspired by lessons learned after working for months in the tsunami relief efforts in Sri Lanka. She established a children's clinic in an area devastated by the tsunami and realized that even though aid for immediate needs often is provided, people's lives remain shattered long after physical trauma is no longer an issue.
Real Medicine Foundation provides humanitarian support to people living in disaster and poverty stricken areas — providing immediate relief as well as longer term development support. This includes medical/ physical, emotional, educational, social and economic support.
Real Medicine forms partnerships with individuals and existing organizations throughout the world, creating effective models and sustainable solutions that can be applied globally. Projects are in Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Southern Sudan, Uganda; India, Indonesia, Myanmar/Burma, Pakistan, Sri Lanka; Armenia; the United States, Haiti and Peru.

Dear Friends,
They stood half a million strong in St. Peter's Square and chanted "Magnus, Magnus, Magnus." Translation: "Great, Great, Great." They were calling for our dearly departed John Paul II to be named "The Great." Only two previous Popes have been given that title; Leo the Great (d. 461), and Gregory the Great (d. 604). There hasn't been another one in 1400 years.
Until now!
The title "Great" is not given by the Church. It is not given by the College of Cardinals. It is given by the people, by public acclamation and popular use. It is given by you and me.
Most of us will never have the opportunity to make our wishes on this known. But now you can...
I now direct you to where your voice can be heard. Go to www.c-fam.org/cgi-bin/jpthegreat.pl and sign the petition calling for John Paul II to be universally acclaimed John Paul the Great.
Your name, along with millions of others, will be delivered directly to office of our new Pope Benedict XVI. The names will also be delivered to the Vatican press corps, the press in the United States and around the world.
Let your voice be heard: "Great, Great, Great, John Paul the Great"
Go to www.c-fam.org/cgi-bin/jpthegreat.pl right now and sign the petition.
And, this is very important, right now send this note to your family and friends. Send this around the world. Let this take on a life of its own.
Let millions sign!
Very best,
Austin Ruse
PS Our non-Catholic brothers and sisters are warmly invited to sign the petition, too. Whether you are Evangelical, Mormon, Muslim, Jewish, all are welcome. Just as in John Paul's life and work, all are welcome.

Brand New - The Achievement of Pope John Paul II -
In a remarkable speech given in January of 2005, internationally known scholar and writer - and friend of Pope John Paul II - George Weigel eloquently lists and elaborates upon 10 enduring accomplishments of Pope John Paul "the Great."
Peter, the Pope and Infallibility
As we as a Catholic community honor the memory of Pope John Paul II and celebrate the election of Pope Benedict XVI, there are questions raised by Catholics and Non- Catholics about the Papacy and its institution. Peter, the Pope and Infallibility by Dr. Marcellino DAmbrosio will help answer many of the questions that people may ask during this time of transition. This CD (or AT) is 45 minutes in length and was recorded during Dr. DAmbrosio's 2005 pilgrimage to Rome.

Orchestral Scoring in Studio One 2, Part 4. Reverb!
June 18,2012
PART 4: Reverb!
Now, the most difficult and most-discussed theme on orchestral composition forums is applying reverbs. This is the most important part of the orchestral mixing process as far as I'm concerned. I've watched and listened to loads of tutorials and lectures on reverbs for orchestra—which one is better? Why?. There is a lot of controversy on impulse response reverbs vs. algorythmic reverbs. Whatever you pick, the most important thing is that it sounds good to you. My main reverb is Altiverb and sometimes I use Lexicon PCM Native. Here's how I apply them to my orchestra sections:
Every section has its own reverb that processes it. I like to use Altiverb's IRs of stages like Todd-AO or FOX Scoring Stage. I like the fact that it has three different mic positions that were used to capture the impulse responses, so I can use them on individual close-miked sections of the orchestra. There are three IR patches of wide mic setups that I use. The closest one is for strings, the middle one is for brass and woodwinds, and the farthest one is for percussion and choir. I apply very little reverb on close mic sections just to give them air, and I apply more of it to stage mic sections to give them room.
Here's an example of proper reverb settings using Lexicon PCM Native:
I use two instances of Lexicon. The first one is for close mic setup with a very small pre-delay and short reverb time. I use only 50% of the mix.
The second instance emulates stage and far-miked setups, which requires a sizeable pre-delay and long reverb time. Its mix is set to 100%.
If I have a solo vocalist in my session, I usually use any vocal plate preset for it.
This covers the reverb for the orchestra. Next up we'll look at using the Studio One Video Player for scoring.

InfoComm 2012 is Almost in Full Swing…
June 13,2012
Check it out, I got some shots from the team at InfoComm 2012 in Las Vegas. From the looks of things Kevin, Brad, Rick, Paul, Justin, John, and more are all setting things up during the work day—and tearin' things up at night.
But hey, it's Vegas, right? And in this day and age, what happens in Vegas stays in ̶V̶e̶g̶a̶s̶ on blogs, Facebook, and perhaps worst of all, YouTube.
More coming soon, including a full day of Webcasts live from the show. That's tomorrow, in fact.

[editor's note: this story comes to us from MI7 JAPAN, our Japanese distributor. Thanks MI7 staff!]
JJazz.Net is an all-free high-quality audio internet music station. It is based on the keyword JAZZ and 12 concepts deriving from it. Engineer and musician Nobumasa Yamada recorded the release show for JiLL-Decoy association's "Lovely Cafe Lounge" held in JZ Brat on April 14 using PreSonus mobile recording system. Here is an exclusive interview with JJazz.Net's Chief Director Mr. Higuchi and JiLL-Decoy who rapidly is going up the iTunes Jazz charts.
JJazz.Net is an internet radio station that started streaming in 2000, but most people didn't have enough bandwidth to support streaming back then and we obviously started a little early. However, in these past 5 or 6 years, the foundation of internet has evolved quite a bit and thus internet radio has become very popular. Our focus has always been on high quality audio, but we couldn't go anything above 16Bit 44.1kHz when the only available source was the CD.
By trying to achieve better audio quality than CD, we naturally came to the idea of live recordings. That's how we started doing our very own 24Bit 96kHz recordings. We knew we wouldn't be able to stream in 24Bit 96kHz, but we thought something that is compressed from high quality audio must also sound pretty good. Our other aim was to introduce tracks that are recorded onto a CD but in a live environment, because we feel that sometimes, live performances can say so much more than a studio recording…

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, June, 2012…
PreSonus™ is shipping AudioBox 1.2, a free update that significantly enhances the performance and versatility of their AudioBox 1818VSL interface and also provides a number of new features for its AudioBox™ USB, AudioBox 22VSL and AudioBox 44VSL audio/MIDI interfaces.
One of the biggest enhancements for the AudioBox 1818VSL is that support has been added for AB1818VSL Remote for iPad®. With this free app, you can control virtually every parameter in Virtual StudioLive forAudioBox 1818VSL from an iPad, including volume, pan, aux sends, FX buses, and Fat Channel parameters.
As a result, users can use an AudioBox 1818VSL and USB-connected laptop as a full-featured mixer/recorder for small gigs, rehearsal spaces, and mobile churches, with the iPad serving as a touchscreen mixing surface. In the studio, manage the monitor mixes from your iPad while dedicating your computer screen to a DAW.
A firmware update rescales the preamp tapers on the AudioBox 1818VSL to add more headroom; Virtual StudioLive for 1818VSL now sends all channels to outputs 7/8 (headphones) by default.
With the AudioBox 1.2 update, all AudioBox-series interfaces become compatible with USB 3.0-a rarity among audio interfaces.
This update also provides enhancements for specific AudioBox-series models:
- The AudioBox USB gains a new, optimized Windows driver for improved performance and a new Windows control panel to adjust buffer size and sample rate.
- The meters in Virtual StudioLive for all AudioBox VSL-series interfaces have been recalibrated to match the RMS meters in PreSonus' Studio One DAW.
- All AudioBox VSL-series interfaces have been integrated into Studio One™ Cue Mix, providing volume and pan control over monitor mixes with the same near-zero latency that Virtual StudioLive software provides.
This free update is recommended for all AudioBox-series users. AudioBox 1.2 can be downloaded from the Technical Support section of the PreSonus Web site.
AB1818VSL Remote is a free download from the Apple App Store.

[Editor's note: The kind e-mails just don't STOP around here. I asked Houston's Tommy Kib to give us "a paragraph or two" about his experience with the StudioLive and QMix in his worship services, and instead I got the sea of text that follows. Oh, and the video. Read on, it's all good.]
Hey Ryan:
I volunteer with Adore Ministries (@adoreministries) running the audio: trying to capture, mix, master, and send recordings of our services up to SoundCloud for people that couldn't attend. This allows us to share the message with all that want to hear it.
If there were a target audience for Adore, it would definitely be both young adults and the young at heart. Our services focus on staying very contemporary, while also keeping true to even the most traditional of Catholic traditions. A lot more information about Adore's mission, vision, etc is on their website.
What we have been able to do with the wonderful PreSonus technology is a really tremendous thing. Since our particular venue doesn't have the most reliable infrastructure, we have been bringing in our own audio gear. Most of the venue's gear may have been state-of-the-art in the mid 1980's… but it hasn't really been refreshed, well… ever.
So, I bring in some good stuff to allow us to get in and set up a quality live sound and recording rig by ourselves. This allows us to barely touch, or have to trust (The faith pun is intended) the venue's admittedly aging gear and leave without a trace. Typically the venue's employees coming in for the service after us could easily be overwhelmed if we didn't put everything back exactly like we found it. They also have a lot of folks re-routing signals, so input #40 on the snake near the altar might run to input #12 on the mixer. We learned early on that deciphering the existing setup this was a terrible waste of time.
On a typical Adore night at the Catholic Charismatic Center, I'll haul over:
- Mics, stands, cables, DI's etc.. anything feeding the mixer
- PreSonus StudioLive 16.4.2
- The wireless StudioLive Remote set up:
- Laptop, Wireless Router, iPad, and 5 iPod Touches mounted in IK Klips.
- In-ear monitor setup consisting of some Shure wireless (PSM 400) and some hard-wired Shure packs, and of course the $50 mini-mixer for the drummer.
- I leave the big box with the 24 x 8 snake at home.
Most of the time, we send the main outs of the StudioLive to the venue's front of house mixer, a very temperamental Allen & Heath GL4 that eats power supply fuses like I eat crawfish! Once in a while we'll send a couple of signals allowing us to balance in some front fills or actually have a subgroup dedicated to front fills.
Using QMix means we don't require a monitor engineer. I've noticed after 2 events that I can get a way better EQ and starting mix from being able to roam around the entire venue during sound check. We absolutely cannot be in there before about 3 p.m., and most of the band simply can't arrive until 5 p.m., and the event has to start at 7 p.m.! And if we're not out by 10 p.m., (service ends at 9 p.m.) we really make the janitor unhappy!
The musicians (other than 2 that plug their ears right into the iPods) have really preferred using QMix over anything used before, even the Aviom system that this venue has. When we did rely on the Aviom, it was patched differently each and every time so there was 30 minutes of prep going in to re-patching and labeling the monitor mixes. With QMix, I think there's only one "wish list" item I'd ask for… and that's to save the channel labels or board tape part when recalled.
To say QMix is a game changer is a severe understatement. I'd credit it with at least 10 minutes savings during sound check, which is spent getting a much nicer sound. I thought the same when SL Remote for iPad came out, and now I don't lose an hour spent running and connecting through a snake. Having the Store, Recall, and FAT Channel on the StudioLive takes anything we do anywhere to the next level, but being able to start with a recalled scene as a start point is PRICELESS! Probably another 10 minutes saved per night there…
What's that add up to..? 2 hours saved per service? At least 80 gray hairs saved! When we only have 2 hours to set up and sound check, every minute counts!
Enjoy the little video! That should be enough for a "paragraph or two," right?

Really? We call this video "The Meters," but we didn't get George Porter Jr. from The Funky Meters to be IN it? He was totally down to be in the Swampgrease webinar a while back. OK, fine. Here's Justin Spence talking about non-funky meters on his StudioLive instead.

If you have ever wondered why it was called House Music, or what was the first house track ever made , or why does it samples so much disco music… this is the answer to all your questions.
And if you knew all that already and just want to watch an amazing documentary about that wonderful thing we all love with a mind blowing soundtrack – House Music – well you have come to the right place.
I have collected together all the parts to the brilliant Channel4 series called Pump up the Volume, which has everything and everyone from the old skool right up until … the Year 2000 when this was released…. ENJOY!!!!
