Yale Cordage's ULS (Ultra Low Stretch) is a double-braid Polyester with a low angle, braided core and a 24-strand braided Polyester cover.
It compares favorably to traditional double braids with improved tensile strength and minimal stretch.
With a firm braid, ULS is easy to handle and cleats easily. If you can forego no-stretch line, ULS is a great alternative.

Email marketing must embody the tone and approach of a brand's larger digital communication strategy, working in unison with on-site content, SEO, off-site content, email, social media and search campaigns.
Guest column by Annie Condron
Integrated, cross-channel, omni-channel, multi-channel or good old fashioned teamwork... no matter how you classify your marketing efforts, there's no "I" in modern digital marketing.
Email marketing, just one component, must embody the tone and approach of a brand's larger digital communication strategy, working in unison with on-site content, SEO, off-site content, email, social media and search campaigns, etc. This seems like a simple concept, but scalable integration is one of the most challenging aspects of digital marketing at the enterprise level.
The Integrated Marketing Challenge
To create an integrated strategy, marketers often need to wrangle and unite the internal digital team, agencies (SEO, social, PR, etc.), developers and executives. Everyone needs to share the same information and work toward agreed-upon business goals. While this is challenging, it is achievable and critically important.
To effectively integrate email into the mix, simply explain to all relevant parties how the brand's use of email will make them look good and help them better achieve their goals! Using email to amplify content, for example, drives traffic and increases link building potential and social signals (all great for SEO). If marketers can boost email marketing metrics in the process, all the better.
Achieve Email Marketing Goals through Integration & Content Amplification
Consider three proven integrated marketing strategies that can help achieve the following email marketing goals:
Increasing Email Marketing Subscribers
Much as marketers might dream, potential customers rarely call begging to subscribe to email campaigns, but marketers do have several captive audiences available to them through you're the brand's website, YouTube channel, Facebook page, etc. Marketers should leverage each of these to tell them why they ought to want those emails.
Consider these five simple ways to invite more customers to subscribe.
Keeping Email Subscribers Happy, Engaged & Opted-in
Email marketing is about creating a relationship and building trust with customers. To do this, marketers need to listen, not just talk. They should...
Personalize content for each visitor:
Engage in trigger campaigns that recognize action or inaction. Test nurture campaigns and follow-ups in response to email recipient behavior.
Invite them to engage in social conversations. Don't just tell email subscribers to follow a brand on Facebook. Include a popular, interactive post to get them engaged or share the latest incentivized promotions.
Use data to drive email strategies. Track open rates, click-thru rates and solicit survey responses to fine tune desired email content specific to each group/subscriber type. Share this info with content & social teams.
Using Email Marketing to Drive ROI, Conversions
With a trusting, engaged audience, marketers have earned the opportunity to sell to their subscribers, because marketers deliver what they want without asking them to work for it.
Just like other marketing channels in the mix, email should be integrated as part of a holistic and consistent approach, but don't overlook the many ways other channels can harness the benefits of an effective email marketing effort.

2005 Land Rover LR3 • V8 4WD Automatic • 108,000 miles
Hi I just recently purchased an 05 land rover lr3 it seems to run great and I think I got a good deal on it! But the check engine light is on and the air suspension light that says suspension fault is also on. I have heard good reviews and bad about this vehicle and am now stuck in a hard spot, I have the opportunity to return it and get my trade back and go else where but if I have gotten a good deal and this is a good vehicle and these lights may be something minor I would like to keep the suv. Do you have any advice on what the problems could be and or cost and if this vehicle is a good or bad purchase?

If it's not too late, I'd suggest you get your money back and go buy a Japanese or American SUV. There is a never ending string of things that go wrong with these cars. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Today we have two great guys working to keep us out of trouble, Jackson Bean (left) and Kyle Bordelon. Jackson is actually the Marshal for Dean Rojas. But he's with us because we have our ESPN cameraman on the boat with Rojas. We'll get him back in the boat before long. In civilian life, Bean is a dentist in Greenville, Texas, east of Dallas.
This is Tony (left) and Mark hanging out on a warm Saturday morning, drinking a beer and talking about bass fishing. They live near Sulphur, La. Tony fishes this area often and has been after a six foot gar for about two years. He's caught him twice. But the gar got off both times. And by the way he raised an alligator here as well.

Terry Scroggins is running and gunning, as much as anyone can do that way up in the Calcasieu River. He stopped where he caught his big fish yesterday and added his second keeper today. Then he was off again. Now he has joined Brent Chapman in another small backwater area off the main river channel. They are working opposite sides of the bank, within casting distance of each other. Photo by Kevin Robbins
Gary Klein just gave the hi sign as we meet near the water at this 2013 Elite Series opener. Gary is having a rough go of it so far it appears. His Marshal signaled one fish about 2 pounds. I am going to catch back up with Cliff Crochet and see what he has rolling right now.
We've mostly been watching Rojas today, but every once in a while we get near Jeff Kriet or Alton Jones. For the most part, they are each doing the same thing. Rojas, though, may have a little extra trick in his arsenal. I see him pick it up every once in a while, but as soon as one of the other competitors gets close he makes a little scramble to put it down. It's interesting to watch the poker game taking place in front of you.
This is Alton Jones' fifth fish for the livewell. Photo by Jim Gilbert
Rojas has started back under I-10. We've decided to not follow. The last time we chased him through there we followed a coon trail that was slightly treacherous carrying camera gear. I half expected to see a dead body or two on the way. It was cooler then. There were heron tracks, coon tracks an alligator slide. There was slight aromas of dead things. The kind of place you wouldn't mind having a gun with you. Now that it's warmer, we are going to stay in less slithery places, at least for the moment.

Word Traveler: Science terms
This feature is for all word lovers as well as those studying for the SAT and seeking to learn new vocabulary.
The word science is from Latin scientia "knowledge" (from scire "know") and first meant "the state or fact of knowing." It was first used in English around 1340 and came to be distinguished from art in the late 1600s. Science then denoted a department of practical work which depended on the knowledge and conscious application of principles - while art was understood to require knowledge of traditional rules and skill acquired by habit. But science was not really used in the sense of a branch of study concerned with observable facts until 1725.
Natural sciences such as biology, botany, zoology, chemistry, and physics are distinguished from mathematics, logic, mental and moral sciences, called pure sciences. Natural sciences deal with the objects, phenomena, or laws of nature and the physical world - and thereby is the overarching term including life sciences and physical sciences. Pure science involves the systematic observation of natural phenomena solely for the discovery of unknown laws relating to facts.
Physical sciences cover things like geology, meteorology, etc., and are concerned with inanimate natural objects and energy apart from vitality, which differentiates them from life sciences (also called bioscience). Life sciences such as biology, zoology, medicine, anthropology, sociology, or ecology deal with living organisms and their organization, life processes, and relationships to each other and their environment. The earth sciences are sometimes considered a part of the physical sciences, with such branches as geology, paleontology, oceanography, and meteorology.
Social sciences (also called human sciences, moral sciences) include anthropology, archaeology, psychology, and sociology - and deal with humans in their social relations.
Then there are engineering sciences concerned with the practical application of the results of scientific activity. There are many fields of engineering, computer science, plus agronomy, horticulture, and animal husbandry - as well as the many aspects of medicine.
A pure science is one depending on deductions from demonstrated truths, such as math or logic, considered essentially theoretical and without regard to practical applications - in contrast to applied science (applying scientific knowledge to practical problems). Exact sciences are physics, chemistry, astronomy, etc. - ones whose laws are capable of accurate quantitative expression.
And to our discussion of the sciences, we can add domestic science or household science, fancy names for the study or knowledge of household management - including cooking, laundry, needlework. Some might call these pseudoscience.

Below are some real reviews left by our customers
After having tried out many, many themes. This is the smartest theme I have worked with so far. I'm hooked and I'm exited to seen what the future of Total holds.
WPExplorer's Total is superior to any theme I've found to date. The versatility and support have my loyalty. AJ knows his stuff.
Finally! A multi-purpose theme that is both user-friendly AND developer-friendly. I've used some great theme frameworks, but they're usually targeted toward developers, not clients. I've also used all the top-selling multi-purpose themes from ThemeForest, and they're targeted toward clients, but are a pain (or impossible) to customize via child themes. Total WordPress Theme is proving to give me the best of both worlds. The documentation and support is very good, too! Oh, and I can't finish without mentioning the leanness of the theme. It loads faster than any other theme I've used. And, paired with a few of the best performance-enhancing plugins (WP Super Cache, Autoptimize, and Remove query strings from static resources), it's unbeatable. Thank you, AJ and WPExplorer team. Total will be my new go-to theme for all my clients.
It's one of the best wordpress themes That you can buy on themeforest, and on the World Wide Web, you have hundreds of options to make it the way you want! It's easy to change color's or to add icons. Code and design quality! Keep up the good work!
Easily the best theme I have ever purchased and used. Extremely customisable and user-friendly and the customer support has been excellent.
This is one of the greatest WordPress themes of ALL TIME. And, solid support too. Worth investing time in, and just a pleasure to use. Well-thought-out design.
awesome theme – feature rich, stable, well documented, prompt support – i've tried a few and this one is miles ahead. if you have any design sense, you can do some amazing things. but if you don't have any design sense, you can still do some amazing things. it's that good !
Me alegra haber comprado este tema. No sé nada de programación, pero este tema es tan flexible y sencillo que pude diseñar mi página como si fuera programador. Además, frente a las dudas, el soporte técnico me ha respondido a la brevedad. Entre comprar temas hechos y uno que te permite crear tus propios temas, los beneficios son inlimitados. Nuevamente muchas gracias!!
This theme is quite diverse with the amount of layouts available. Aside from the fantastic features, the documentation, the examples of the different layouts and the customer support is what really makes this theme a good one to install. Each time I've contacted the developer of this theme, not only do I get a super fast response, I also learn a little more about HTML, CSS, JavaScript and now I can even dabble (careful) with PHP. You don't need to be technical at all to use this theme, however, if you're interested in how to make your site personal to your style and taste, you can't go wrong with
We make other great WordPress themes as well
Total is our best selling item but we do have a ton of other nice themes if you are looking for something else check out our Portfolio

Maria De Los Angeles Group
Clemencia is one of the members of the group, and she tells us that she dedicates herself to raising animals such as pigs and chickens. She notes that it is hard work that takes up all of her time, as she must tend to her animals on a continuous basis.
She requests this loan for the purchase of feed for the animals she raises. She is thankful to the foundation and to Kiva for the help she is receiving.

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

It's things like hair which retains traces.

I'm on regular prescription medication and I have to take a dose 3 times a day so I probably won't be able to give blood.
I'm not allowed to give blood anyway. I had another tattoo done a few months ago, and you have to wait until 6 months after the tattoo was completed before you can give blood. Apparently we all have HIV too. I know I don't, I went to a reputable place which replaced the entire equipment inbetween people.

I know there are some antibiotics that can last in the system for up to a month or so. But if you're on antibiotics, they probably don't want your blood anyway, because you're sick.
As for the tattoos, just be glad they don't ban you altogether. I think the six-month waiting period is due to the fact that sometimes HIV won't show up on tests right away. After six months, the tests will be more reliable.

It's Master of the Flying Guillotine!
By Patrick Macias
A FLYING GUILLOTINE resembles a collapsible lamp shade outfitted with retractable buzz-saw teeth. Flung into the air like a human fishing line, it makes a sound somewhere between a gunshot and a train whistle. And when this deadly weapon finds its mark, i.e., someone's head, it decapitates with all the convenience of a palm-size French Revolution.
If understanding the flying guillotine takes seconds, mastering it takes a lifetime. At least it did for Wang Yu, a.k.a. Jimmy Wang Yu, the director, writer, and star of 1975's Master of the Flying Guillotine one of the greatest kung fu movies, and certainly the greatest flying guillotine film, of all time. The film is legendary for its preposterous title alone, though underviewed in actuality (scant years ago, only two prints in the world could be accounted for). The Flying Guillotine you might have heard of before. But Wang who?
Born in Shanghai in 1943, Wang Yu was a Hong Kong swimming champ plucked poolside to become the pre-Bruce Lee martial arts star of his day. The catch was, unlike Lee (and even, gads, Keanu), Wang Yu never knew kung fu. From day one, his fight scenes had to involve tricky editing, trampolines, and all manner of gimcracks best exemplified by the flying guillotine itself.
Perhaps one reason the right-handed Wang Yu never quite became a skilled fighter is that he spent most of his career with one hand tucked into his shirt playing one-limbed, left-handed characters. Wang Yu became a megastar in 1967 as the lead in director Chang Cheh's epochal One-Armed Swordsman. After a string of hits for his taskmasters at Shaw Brothers studios, Wang Yu was the first fight-film star to become a millionaire and duly treated himself to a Rolls Royce. In 1970 the bounty began to wither. After his biggest-ever hit, The Chinese Boxer, Wang Yu had a bitter falling out with the powerful Shaws. Effectively exiled from the Hong Kong film industry, he moved to Taiwan to star in, and sometimes direct, a long line of independently produced features of no certain quality.
In 1975, Wang Yu rolled out One-Arm Boxer vs. the Flying Guillotine. The film did fair business across Asia and became a surprise decent-size hit in the United States in 1977 under the new title Master of the Flying Guillotine. But by this time, a string of seedy affairs and underworld scandals had reduced the former superstar to a powerless state of ruin from which he would never emerge. Wang Yu was washed up, but the cult of the Guillotine would only grow.
In this direct sequel to 1970's One-Armed Boxer, our hero has given up fighting and now runs a martial arts school where he teaches students to walk along the edges of wicker baskets. Meanwhile, a host of bizarre fighters saunters into town to compete in a World Cup-style kung fu tournament. Some are in league with a revenge-seeking blind monk who is wandering the countryside killing every one-armed man he stumbles across, hoping to eventually hit the right one with his flying guillotine (Wang Yu killed two of his disciples in the previous film, you see).
Wang Yu would probably lose in a real fight with lesser kung fools, but his physical limitations forced him to become a demonic film magician in the mold of Méliès. Flying Guillotine is full of jack-in-the-box surprises and Bugs Bunny-with-bloodshed set pieces, all inexplicably set to tunes culled from crackly Krautrock LPs (Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, and Can feature prominently). The epic tournament, when the film truly leaps into inspired realms of low-budget, high-imagination filmmaking, has been acknowledged as the inspiration behind the Street Fighter II video game, meaning that Wang Yu is partially responsible for the coin-op equivalent of the electric guitar.
It's too bad this rerelease comes minus the hysterical English dub that (dis)graced the original '77 version, which helped to amplify the absurdity factor to the infinite power. But this subtitled "ultimate edition," featuring a scratchy but complete print delivers Wang Yu's legacy from the detritus of history. And all the wire fu and digital effects in the world have not lessened the lethal analog sting of the Flying Guillotine one bit. 'Master of the Flying Guillotine: Ultimate Edition' plays Fri/19-Thurs/25, Lumiere Theatre, S.F.; and Shattuck Cinemas, Berk. See Movie Clock, in Film listings, for show times.

In great condition, train across the way but cannot really hear it. Our last stay there was a circus one block away and we slept through the noise. A/C controls are on the wall and accurate. Well lit areas and plenty of carts to haul your junk up to your room. Our cards would not work on the west door for some reason, so we walked around.

I just have to ask. Why do you think it's rude? It's not like other readers don't know that's not what you originally said. Your original post is still there for posterity.
Heck, the "fixed that for ya!" joke is almost a mainstay of internet forums. I don't see the harm when used unmaliciously.
Yea, when someone truncates your post to deliberately take it out of context (though, Sometimes it's an accident that it is taken out of context, when a poster merely meant to be succinct and only quoted the pertinent part) or changes it to deliberately try to take it out of context (I've never seen it, but, I'm sure it's happened), that's totally wrong and reason to be outraged.
But, the "I fixed it for you" joke or making a joke when some mis-spells something making their post say something else (The other day I spelled Jem, when I was referring to the character from
The Empath
, and someone made a joke about Jem being truly outrageous, and I laughed my head off) to me, it's all part of the fun of socializing on the internet.
So, for the record, anyone who wants to make a mis-spelling joke at my expense or an "I fixed it for you" joke, feel free, it makes me feel appreciated and part of the crowd

Women's World Cup Group B Preview: Germany Are Going To Hang Some Goals

Here are our Group B previews, full schedule, and predictions. »
Thailand's journey to the World Cup was a strange one, and they had to take advantage of a unique set of circumstances to get here. In 2009, FIFA decided to bump up the number of teams in the 2015 World Cup from 16 to 24, which increased the amount of bids for Asian teams from three to five. And in 2011, five North… »
When Côte d'Ivoire take the field against Germany on June 7, how they will play will be a mystery. Not because they have ginned up some tactics in secret—though maybe they have!—but because they have only played a single match in the past seven months. While the Côte d'Ivoire men's team is known for world class… »
Two decades ago Norway were a soccer power, finishing second at the 1991 World Cup and winning it all in 1995. But recent years have seen a tactically naïve Norway surpassed, or at least equaled, by nations that got a later jump on women's soccer, like France, England, and Spain. While they should have no trouble… »
Germany have historically been one of the best teams in women's soccer, and they go into the 2015 World Cup like they go into every tournament: with the expectation of winning. They won the World Cup in 2003 and 2007, finished runner-up in 1995, and have won every Women's Euro since 1995. They went 10-0 in World Cup… »
Tiki-taka is dead. The Dutch killed it. Of course, every time Spain or Barcelona lose a major match tiki-taka is proclaimed dead, only to rise again. The truth is tiki-taka remains effective—Bayern won their league and Barcelona came within a Diego Godín header of doing the same—so long as you have the right… »
It's time for the match of the day: Spain vs. The Netherlands, rematch of the last World Cup's final. Let's talk about it, OK? »

Chile's most memorable World Cup story is actually how they missed out on the 1990 and 1994 tournaments.

In 2010, the Netherlands shocked the world by making it all the way to the World Cup final in South Africa. This year, many believe this team diminished. The oldest of their squad have since moved on, and injuries to stars like midfielder Kevin Strootman and keeper Maarten Stekelenburg have further depleted their… »
Off top, we need to acknowledge Spain's unprecedented dominance of international and club soccer over the past decade. Historically, however, Spain has been sort of a laughingstock. To understand the impact of Spain's international failure, you must first understand Spain's great domestic rivalry: Real Madrid vs.… »

As I've been exploring the landscape of my head injuries over the past few years, one aspect of my life experience has consistently come to the fore trauma… and its long-term effects on lives of both survivors and the ones they love and live/work with on a daily basis.
It's almost a total fluke that trauma should even have this on my radar. But over the years, I've befriended and been befriended by a number of psychotherapists and counselors, most of whom specialize in trauma. In retrospect, I suspect that many of them have assumed that my difficulties were due to past traumatic episodes rough childhood, misspent youth, etc. In fact, one of them has flatly denied that my issues could be due to TBI, and they became more and more insistent about me getting a therapist, which was probably the worst thing I've ever done, in retrospect. (This friend's denial is a topic for another post it's quite interesting, "clinically" speaking.)
Now, I have to say that after more than 10 years of being around these friends of mine, I get a little tired of every ill known to humanity being ascribed to after-effects of trauma. When I talk about experiences I've had and people I've encountered who have annoyed me or done some seriously sick stuff, I've often heard the refrain, "Oh, they're a trauma survivor, so they're dissociating/being triggered/experiencing kindling/re-enacting their past traumas."
There's not much room for just being an asshole. For some of my friends, it's all about the trauma. And in an attempt to better understand what it is they're talking about, I've attended some trauma workshops, as well as read some books. I've got Peter Levine on my bookshelf, along with Belleruth Naparstek. And now I'm reading Robert Scaer, M.D.'s book The Body Bears the Burden, which explains (from a neurologist's point of view) the effects of trauma on both the body and mind of someone who's gone through awful experiences and those whose experiences don't seem that terrible, compared to, say, Pakistan's flooding or suicide bombings in Kabul.
The DSM-IV defines a "traumatic stressor" as:
[an stressor] involving direct personal experience of an event that involves actual or threatened death or serious injury, or other threat to one's physical integrity; or witnessing an event that involves death, injury, or a threat to the physical integrity of another person; or learning about unexpected or violent death, serious harm, or threat of death or injury experienced by a family member or other close associate
The part that interests me is the "direct personal experience of an event that involves actual or threatened death or serious injury, or other threat to one's physical integrity". The other parts are just as significant, but I'm not going to speak to them at this time.
When it comes to mild traumatic brain injury, I think sometimes the severity of the experience tends to get downplayed. After all, the injury is mild, right? Well, interestingly, mTBI survivors apparently can show more disruptive symptoms of traumatization after the fact, than survivors of more severe injuries. And these long-term effects can wreak havoc in the lives of survivors, as well as their immediate circle.
Problems such as fatigue, emotional volatility (emotional lability), rage, agitation, irritability, insomnia, sleep deprivation, anger, temper flares, temper tantrum, anxiety, fear, panic, risk-taking, danger-seeking, not to mention all the crisis and drama that can accompany hormonal spikes during times of stress, certainly don't make things any easier. If anything, they complicate recovery by flooding the system with stress hormones which interfere with your ability to learn from your experiences. So, at the time when you're having to get a new grip on your newly changed life with its "new normal," the biochemical processes going on behind the scenes may be getting in the way.
How maddening is that? At just the time when you need your brain to be able to recover, it's busy cranking out all sorts of interesting concoctions that specifically get in the way of your recovery.
Because (I believe) there is unresolved and un-dealt-with trauma wreaking havoc behind the scenes.
Trauma in mild traumatic brain injuries is particularly tricky. After all, the injury itself may not have been that dramatic something gets dropped on your head, or you get in a fender-bender, or you slip and fall down and clunk your head on something. You get up again, walk away from the scene… maybe pay a visit to the emergency dept of your local hospital, get scanned, and you get a "clean" bill of health (and maybe a few pointers on what to watch out for to make sure you don't have more serious issues later on). Then you're expected to get on with your life.
But inside your skull, something else is happening. Some of the fragile connections in your brain have been sheared or severed or frayed, and your brain isn't able to communicate with itself like it used to. On a fundamental, profound level, your very existence has been threatened only nobody can see it. Even you can't see it very well, because your brain is either still bathed in the stress hormones designed to keep you from feeling a bunch of pain (and thus preventing you from fleeing an immediate threat), or it's just not making the connections it "should" in order to give you the resident owner a clear picture of what's going on. Or it could be both things going on.
In some cases, from what I've read in Dr. Scaer's book, the onset of problems can be delayed by hours, even days. So, right after the accident/event, you're walking around looking fine, seeming to be fine… maybe you're a little shaken up, but that's to be expected. But then you start to slip away… decline… feel the effects of what was supposed to be a mild event that had no serious immediate effects you. In your system, hidden from view, the process of gradual (and possibly debilitating) problems has begun.
This process is utterly maddening. Everyone around you, who was worried for your safety, just wants to be relieved that you're okay. But all of a sudden, you're acting strangely, you don't seem like yourself, and you're complaining all the time. The complaints don't get better over time, either. They get worse. And for no apparent reason. People think you're looking for attention, that you're trying to "milk" your accident for all it's worth. They just want you to get back to being your old self. But you're doing the exact opposite.
And the pressure to return to normal builds, even as your system is being eroded by the biochemical havoc of trauma that was introduced to your system which has not been cleared it hasn't even been recognized. How can you clear away what you can't see/hear/detect?
Indeed, the most insidious and problematic manifestations of trauma take root when the person having the experience is taken by surprise. Studies have shown that bracing for impact limits the impact, but being blindsided makes it worse. And it makes the experience as a whole worse. The body detects this threat to its safety and existence all of a sudden out of nowhere and it unleashes myriad biochemical substances for us to deal with it including endogenous opioids designed to numb the pain of injury. Animals in the wild which are being chased by predators, when there is no way to escape, will often fall down as though dead, their bodies full of chemical substances that will both numb the pain of being devoured and turn them into "dead" prey which might discourage a predator from actually killing them.
The same biochemical process is in place with human beings. After all, once upon a time, we were hunted as prey by animals larger than us. Indeed, we still are, in some cases the predators happen to be other people, more often than not. In times of combat and assault, when all escape routes have been blocked off and we believe (on some level) that we're done for, our brains and bodies do their natural thing they bathe us in substances to protect us from feeling that knife going through our lung or feeling that bullet smash through muscle and bone.
Our brains and bodies are doing their utmost to protect us as best we can. But our minds tend to interpret the experience differently.
In the case of animals who freeze and then survive the assault, they shake themselves, go through a series of shuddering/jerking motions, do heavy, deep breathing, and then pick themselves up and get on with their lives. In the case of humans who freeze and then survive the assault, we tell ourselves we were wusses for freezing the way we did, and we plunge into cycles of self-doubt and conflict, feeling like we failed when we were simply being the biological creatures we are designed to be.
And the self-perpetuating downward spiral of the PTSD loop starts. Where it stops, is anybody's guess.
Therapies which have been successful in freeing people from that negative feedback loop are those which engage the body to discharge the sudden burst of biochemical self-protection, and get the autonomic nervous system back into balance. In the completion of the fight-flight-freeze cycle, the body is allowed to return to its most effective ways of working. And we can get on with our lives.
Here's where the problem starts with mTBI. (Note, I'm not a doctor or certified health professional this is just my belief system about how our systems interact with the world around us.) If the injury is "mild" then what's the big deal? Why should we even need to complete the fight-flight-freeze cycle? Wasn't the injury itself mild? We just got clunked on the head. Big deal, right?
Hardly. I think with mild traumatic brain injury, there may be another aspect of it that comes into play. With "mild" injuries (not that any brain injury is ever mild, mind you), the brain itself perceives the threat on a basic, biological level. It knows something's wrong, and it kicks into overdrive, trying to right what's wrong.
I suspect this is why people who have sustained concussions or mTBIs are so prone to denying that there's anything wrong. Our brains are so busy trying to right their internal systems, that they fail to communicate with the rest of the world that includes our conscious mind.
Based on what's happened to me, what I've observed, and what I've read, here's the cycle that I believe gets set up:
As you can see assuming this progression is at least somewhat accurate (and I believe it is) the impact of a head injury need not be severe, in order to lead to severe consequences.
To fully understand the pervasive effects of mild traumatic brain injury, you need to look at multiple systems from the brain's inner workings, to the autonomic nervous system, to the demands of adult living or childhood development, to the expectations of one's surrounding social milieu. With mild TBI, it's never just one issue that sends you down the dark road it's a million little, subtle, interrelated issues that combine to create a recipe for disaster that, like bread dough sitting near a hot wood stove, will inevitably begin to rise and expand.
Trauma and the body's internal responses to perceived threat and our interpretation of those threats, is like yeast added to a sugar-water-flour mix of our injury. With enough heat and time, it's going to double, triple, even quadruple (and more) the issues that initially come with mild traumatic brain injury. Unfortunately, it appears that our systems are designed to work that way, and unless we can figure out alternative ways to address the issues, we're in for a rough ride… till we can find help, sort things out, or end up incarcerated or dead.
What strategies and approaches we can hope to employ in this trickiest of situations which might actually work is a topic for another post.

BeAnywhere follows a swift and user dedicated development philosophy, with frequent updates and a very close attention to the client's feedback. True to this commitment, Support Express 4.5 brings to the table more than 50 new features and improvements, such as the ones described below:
• NEW! Java-based Web Console. A lite console for our clients to use on non-Windows computers (although it also runs in Windows, of course). It was tested on MacOS and several flavors of Linux. You can use it from this link!
• NEW! Pause sessions. Techs can now pause sessions, and resume (or transfer) those at a later time. This can be done on both attended and unattended sessions. This feature cannot be used on sessions with multiple technicians for avoid incoherent states.
• NEW! Quick Photo Mode. A JPEG-based color mode is much faster on situations where the technician is viewing and manipulating image files on the remote computer. The speed is obtained at the cost of image quality.
• UPDATED!Sessions with multiple technicians on BA Agents. While on a session made through the BA Agent or the applet, additional technicians can now be invited. Also, multiple techs can connect to the same Agent simultaneously (for reporting purposes, this will be counted as a joint session, not as different sessions).
Admin Area:
• UPDATED!Refinement of the session reports. Collaborative sessions or session transfers are now shown in a more intuitive way; now it is also possible to find sessions by using any of the participating technicians as a search criteria.
With more than 40 thousand worldwide clients and commercial teams working around Europe, North America and Asia, BeAnywhere strategy relies on a well-succeeded international expansion. Even facing an economic crisis environment, BeAnywhere keeps on growing, with 30% to 40% estimated income increase for 2012. Aiming for an even broader territorial expansion, BeAnywhere will open new offices in the Canadian territory.

These lights protraying horizon beams
these forms, signs altered by a kind.
Striking errors from the past
individual lure on extinguishing light
decayed core, only dust and despair.
Mindscapes modulated in malfuncition,

Good for You Snacks
Snacks are my downfall. I could eat a box of Triscuits or a bag of Twizzlers no problem. But it is a problem because, it's not a good idea to eat a whole bag or box of anything. Here are a few snacks that are satisfying, sweet (or salty) and, good for you!


text: By Michael Freund The Jerusalem Post | September 15, 2004 The excitement is palpable. You can almost feel it in the air. The dictators of the Arab world just can't wait for George W. Bush to lose the US presidential election in November. Gripped with fear as they watch Bush's democratic experiment in Iraq take shape, the tyrants and despots of the Middle East are pinning their hopes on Democratic challenger John Kerry to prevail. After all, the last thing they want to see is a second-term Bush determined to reform the region, a development that would threaten their grip on power and stymie their efforts to obtain more lethal types of weaponry. And so, the rhetoric in the Arab world is heating up, pointing to a real desire to see the US president go down in defeat. continued http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satell...le/ShowFull&cid=1093921794974&p=1006953079865 Acidrain

Tyler seems determined to force every line of his lengthy and detailed narrative into a mould that illustrates his basic theory.
But the statesman cannot create or mould a social order at will.
Then he melted the dust and poured the hot liquid into a mould the shape of a blade.
The annexed cut represents a cramp-ring of lead, simply cast in a mould, and sold cheap for the use of the commonalty.
Then like a mass of jelly out of its mould I plopped onto my chair.
Light ultimately bleaches many species, moisture leads to mould and mildew, and insect pests devour the specimens.
The partner of his life, and daughters twain, were Mr mould's companions.
When wanted for use, turn it out of the mould in the same manner as other jellies.
In the meantime cut a sausage in thin slices and line a mould with it.
A mould of flour turned out on the table held similar tokens.
also mould, "hollow shape," c.1200, originally "fashion, form; nature, native constitution, character," metathesized from Old French modle "model, plan, copy; way, manner" (12c., Modern French moule), from Latin modulum (nominative modulus) "measure, model," diminutive of modus "manner" (see mode (1)). From c.1300 as "pattern or model by which something is shaped or made." To break the mold "render impossible the creation of another" is from 1560s.
also mould, "furry fungus," early 15c., probably from moulde, past participle of moulen "to grow moldy" (early 13c.), related to Old Norse mygla "grow moldy," possibly from Proto-Germanic *(s)muk- indicating "wetness, slipperiness," from PIE *meug- (see mucus). Or it might have evolved from (or been influenced by) Old English molde "loose earth" (see mold (n.3)).
also mould, "loose earth," Old English molde "earth, sand, dust, soil; land, country, world," from Proto-Germanic *mulda (cf. Old Frisian molde "earth, soil," Old Norse mold "earth," Middle Dutch moude, Dutch moude, Old High German molta "dust, earth," Gothic mulda "dust"), from PIE root *mele- "to rub, grind" (see meal (n.2)). Specifically, since late (Christian) Old English, "the earth of the grave."
also mould, mid-14c., "to mix, blend;" late 14c. "to knead, shape," from mold (n.1). Figurative sense (of character, etc.) is from c.1600. Related: Molded; molding.
mold 1 (mōld)
A shaped receptacle into which material is pressed or poured in making a cast.
A frame around which something is formed or shaped.
The shape of an artificial tooth or teeth.
To shape a mass of plastic material in or on a mold.
To change in shape. Used especially of the adaptation of the fetal head to the pelvic canal.
mold 2
Any of various filamentous fungi, generally a circular colony having a woolly or furry appearance, that grow on the surface of organic matter and contribute to its disintegration.
Any of various fungi that often form a fuzzy growth (called a mycelium) on the surface of organic matter. Some molds cause food to spoil, but others are beneficial, such as those used to make certain cheeses and those from which antibiotics like penicillin are developed. The molds do not form a distinct phylogenetic grouping but belong to various phyla including the ascomycetes and the zygomycetes. See also slime mold.

Hello! Though I'm afraid the Brazilian flag is gone; I'm doing a "flags of the world" thing and it's on to the next one.
may wish to know I read "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" (translated by Ramos) by Paulo Freire (30th anniversary edition) and found it very good for a treatise on Marxist revolutionary education.
I've heard of
Pedagogy of the Oppressed
! There was quite a stir last year over it in Arizona -- a Mexican-American studies program in public high schools using it got shut down, and the instructors were accused of all manner of horrible things for using it. The book was banned from school libraries, IIRC.

Already a member? Log in.
GBP3.00 one off fee when joining
This covers: To cover website fee of £57 every 6 months.
Payment is accepted using:
Refunds are not offered for this Meetup.
NB: Please note this group has a one off joining fee of £3 as noted below
This one is just for the girls in Manchester (sorry guys!)
So ladies....
Do you love making new friends and having a giggle?
Do you have lovely friends yourself but find they're often busy with their young families, boyfriends, husbands or perhaps they like their sofa a bit too much ;-), or maybe they've simply moved away?
Maybe you're new to Manchester? You may have a young family, boyfriend or husband yourself but fancy making some new girlfriends?
Well let's get together, and enjoy what Manchester and the surrounding area has to offer. It could be having a good night out on the town or a cheeky glass of wine on a school night or maybe the theatre, gallery, afternoon tea, dinner out or enjoying the fresh air with a walk in the peaks...variety is the spice of life as they say and anyone can add meet ups.
So...please join if this sounds like your kind of thing.
Age range - well I think we have from about 25 to 55 with most in 30's/40's but we don't ask and all are welcome! All we ask is that you update your RSVP if your plans change in plenty of time (like day before at least) so someone else can take your place (don't leave someone else sat at home!).
NB: This is not a company, it's just a group of girls wanting to socialise and meet new friends. We do not lead tours, take responsibility for people getting where they need to be etc. We simply say anyone fancy this... We tend to book meet ups in the areas we know and love (mainly city centre/Didsbury/Chorlton) because for us this is about meeting local friends. We do have ladies from other areas of Greater Manchester though so if you fancy something local, a chance to meet friends near you - the best way to do that is to add a meet up to the calendar. We encourage members to do so and can help you with adding this.
Now the money bit!
• There is a small one off joining fee of £3. This is to cover the website fee (£57 every 6 months).
• By becoming a group member you agree to helping to keep the group open by paying this fee.
• After joining, please click on the membership dues on the left (under the calendar) to pay within the first 7 days of joining, this gives you time to check out the group to see if it is for you before you pay.
• We will assume that if you haven't paid within the first 7 days then you have decided the group isn't for you and you are happy for us to remove your details- of course you can decide to join us again at any point. This just makes it fair on others that have paid.
• If you haven't got a PayPal account and you do not want to open one (can be useful for other stuff like eBay) then just drop me an email for info on other ways to pay, or if you are going to a meet up in the first week you can pay in cash.
• And finally...sadly we have now introduced a 3 strikes (no shows) and your out policy because the same ladies sign up to everything and do not turn up or cancel their place with any notice which isn't fair on those that would love to join us and on the organisers - no one wants to be sat in a restaurant at a table for 12 and only 2 others turn up nor sat at home alone when someone else isn't considerate enough to give up their place with more than a few hours notice. So if you get three 'no shows' you will be deleted from the group. Hopefully with this notice that will never happen - all you need to do is change your RSVP to 'no' a least the day before, those regularly cancelling on the day will be deemed as a 'no show'. Also on popular events, priority will be given to members who haven't no showed or regularly cancelled their place at the last minute You might also find that your place is given to someone else on an event that is full if you fall into one of these categories. Sorry to be so strict but in order for this group to stay successful we need to make sure our members are reliable.
I look forward to meeting you on an event soon. We are a very friendly group who make new members really welcome.

"God Is Not One"
"Stephen Prothero has done it again. This is a powerfully-written, paradigm-shifting book. How religious differences can be a bridge of cooperation rather than a bomb of destruction is one of the most important challenges of our era, and Prothero is as good a guide as you will find." (Eboo Patel, founder and executive director of Interfaith Youth Core and author of Acts of Faith)
On my last visit to Jerusalem, I struck up a conversation with an elderly man in the Muslim Quarter. As a shopkeeper, he seemed keen to sell me jewelry. As a Sufi mystic, he seemed even keener to engage me in matters of the spirit. He told me that religions are human inventions, so we must avoid the temptation of worshipping Islam rather than Allah. What matters is opening yourself up to the mystery that goes by the word God, and that can be done in any religion. As he tempted me with more turquoise and silver, he asked me what I was doing in Jerusalem. When I told him I was researching a book on the world's religions, he put down the jewelry, looked at me intently, and, placing a finger on my chest for emphasis, said, "Do not write false things about the religions."
As I wrote God Is Not One, I came back repeatedly to this conversation. I never wavered from trying to write true things, but I knew that some of the things I was writing he would consider false.
Mystics often claim that the great religions differ only in the inessentials. They may be different paths but they are ascending the same mountain and they converge at the peak. Throughout this book I give voice to these mystics: the Daoist sage Laozi, who wrote his classic the Daodejing just before disappearing forever into the mountains; the Sufi poet Rumi, who instructs us to "gamble everything for love"; and the Christian mystic Julian of Norwich, who revels in the feminine aspects of God. But my focus is not on these spiritual superstars. It is on ordinary religious folk — the stories they tell, the doctrines they affirm, and the rituals they practice. And these stories, doctrines, and rituals could not be more different. Christians do not go on the hajj to Mecca; Jews do not affirm the doctrine of the Trinity; and neither Buddhists nor Hindus trouble themselves about sin or salvation.
Of course, religious differences trouble us, since they seem to portend, if not war itself, then at least rumors thereof. But as I researched and wrote this book I came to appreciate how opening our eyes to religious differences can help us appreciate the unique beauty of each of the great religions -- the radical freedom of the Daoist wanderer, the contemplative way into death of the Buddhist monk, and the joy in the face of the divine life of the Sufi shopkeeper.
I plan to send my Sufi shopkeeper a copy of this book. I have no doubt he will disagree with parts of it. But I hope he will recognize my effort to avoid writing "false things," even when I disagree with friends.

Here is a pretty colorful vintage Dresden fine enamel mesh purse and frame. It was made in Germany and is in very good condition. The colors are very vibrant in this geometric design.
