Hmm... or Nate? Since Nate is with Blair at that moment.
Is this evidence that Dan is Gossip Girl?
Just putting it out there, viewers like me who are tired of being jerked around are the reason ratings were low enough to warrant a shortened season. Honestly, I'm shocked and a little disappointed it wasn't canceled outright, given that viewership was significantly lower than other CW shows that got cut. If ratings drop off much more, it might not even get its full run (which I consider a well-deserved punishment after serving us garbage on a platter and calling it parallels). I'm as "real" of a fan as anyone else, but I no longer support the writers and their creative decisions. There comes a point when canon is no longer relevant, and it becomes up to the fandom to write stories that do the characters justice. That search for closure usually happens after a show ends, but in GG's case, it started prematurely. We know and love the characters well enough that the TV-created universe can live on without the show.

ABSTRACT: Chinese herbal medicine is a promising countermeasure against cardiovascular dysfunction associated with a sedentary lifestyle. We examined the impact of the Chinese herb, Taikong Yangxin, on the micro- and macrovascular dysfunction associated with a 60-day bed rest. Fourteen healthy men were randomly divided into two groups: those given herbal supplement, and the control group; the two groups underwent a 60-day bed rest. The macrovasculature was assessed by sonography. Skin microvascular functions were assessed with laser Doppler. The plasma level of endothelial microparticles (EMPs), markers of endothelial injury, was determined. Bed rest induced a 33 % decrease in the femoral artery diameter and compliance whereas carotid wall thickness, diameter, and compliance remained unchanged. The early phase of endothelium-dependent vasodilation to ACh was unmodified by bed rest, while the late phase was reduced by 30 % along with a twofold increase in EMPs. In those given Taikong Yangxin, the early phase was amplified by 2.5-fold, and the effects of bed rest on the late phase were prevented. These findings indicate that Taikong Yangxin ameliorates endothelium-dependent vasodilation, likely by improving the NO pathway. The study suggests Taikong Yangxin as a new countermeasure to prevent the changes in microvascular function induced by physical inactivity.Arbeitsphysiologie 05/2015; 115(9).

Article: Peripheral Arterial and Venous Response to Tilt Test after a 60-Day Bedrest with and without Countermeasures (ES-IBREP)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We quantified the impact of 60-day head-down bed rest (HDBR) with countermeasures on arterial and venous response to tilt. Twenty-one males: 7 control (Con), 7 resistive vibration exercise (RVE) and 7 Chinese herb (Herb) were assessed. Subjects were identified as finisher (F) or non-finishers (NF) at the post-HDBR 20-min tilt test. The cerebral (MCA), femoral (FEM) arterial flow velocity and leg vascular resistance (FRI), the portal vein section (PV), the flow redistribution ratios (MCA/FEM; MCA/PV), the tibial (Tib), gastrocnemius (Gast), and saphenous (Saph) vein sections were measured by echography and Doppler ultrasonography. Arterial and venous parameters were measured at 3-min pre-tilt in the supine position, and at 1 min before the end of the tilt. At post-HDBR tilt, MCA decreased more compared with pre-HDBR tilt in the Con, RVE, and Herb groups, the MCA/FEM tended to decrease in the Con and Herb groups (not significant) but remained stable in the RVE gr. FRI dropped in the Con gr, but remained stable in the Herb gr and increased in the RVE gr. PV decreased less in the Con and Herb groups but remained unchanged in the RVE gr. MCA/PV decreased in the Con and Herb groups, but increased to a similar extent in the RVE gr. Gast section significantly increased more in the Con gr only, whereas Tib section increased more in the Con and Herb groups but not in the RVE gr. The percent change in Saph section was similar at pre- and post-HDBR tilt. In the Con gr, vasoconstriction was reduced in leg and splanchnic areas. RVE and Herb contributed to prevent the loss of vasoconstriction in both areas, but the effect of RVE was higher. RVE and Herb contributed to limit Gast distension whereas only RVE had a protective effect on the Tib.PLoS ONE 03/2012; 7(3):e32854. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0032854 · 3.23 Impact Factor
Article: Whole-body vibration and resistance exercise prevent long-term hindlimb unloading-induced bone loss: Independent and interactive effects[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Skeletal unloading induced by disuse or immobilization causes a decrease in bone mass and strength. We investigated the relationship between whole-body vibration (WBV) and resistance exercise (RE) in preventing bone loss induced by 8-week hindlimb unloading in young male rats. Sixty male Wistar rats were assigned randomly to 6 groups: age-matched control group (CON, n = 10), hindlimb unloading group (HU, n = 10), hindlimb unloading + standing group (HU + ST, n = 10), hindlimb unloading + WBV group (HU + WBV, n = 10), hindlimb unloading + RE group (HU + RE, n = 10) and hindlimb unloading + WBV + RE group (HU + WBV + RE, n = 10). After 8-week hindlimb unloading, micro-CT scanning and three-point bending test were performed in the femur. Sera were collected for analysis of bone formation and resorption markers. Compared with HU group, WBV, RE and the combination of WBV and RE (WBV + RE) significantly improved (P < 0.01) one repetition maximum (1RM) (expressed as the percentage change from baseline, HU: -23%, HU + WBV: 21%, HU + RE: 48%, HU + WBV + RE: 51%), and maintained (P < 0.05) cancellous volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and trabecular structure. No difference of cortical vBMD was found among all groups (P > 0.05). WBV had no effects on biomechanical properties of the femur diaphysis (P > 0.05). RE and WBV + RE significantly increased maximum load and cross-sectional moment of inertia of the femur diaphysis in hindlimb unloading rats (P < 0.05). There was an interaction between WBV and RE in improving cancellous bone. These results demonstrate that WBV and RE interactively maintain cancellous structure and vBMD, and independently partially mitigate the reduction of bone strength in long-term hindlimb unloading rats.Arbeitsphysiologie 02/2012; 112(11):3743-53.

Article: Temporal Artery Flow Response during the Last Minute of a Head Up Tilt Test, in Relation with Orthostatic Intolerance after a 60 Day Head-Down Bedrest[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Check if the Temporal flow response to Tilt could provide early hemodynamic pattern in the minutes preceding a syncope during the Tilt test performed after a 60-d head down bedrest (HDBR). Twenty-one men divided into 3 groups [Control (Con), Resistive Vibration (RVE) and Chinese Herb (Herb)] underwent a 60 day HDBR. Pre and Post HDBR a 20 min Tilt identified Finishers (F) and Non Finishers (NF). Cerebral (MCA), Temporal (TEMP), Femoral (FEM) flow velocity, were measured by Doppler during the Tilt. Blood pressure (BP) was measured by arm cuff and cardiopress. Four of the 21 subjects were NF at the post HDBR Tilt test (Con gr:2, RVE gr: 1, Herb gr: 1). At 1 min and 10 s before end of Tilt in NF gr, FEM flow decreased less and MCA decreased more at post HDBR Tilt compared to pre (p<0.05), while in the F gr they changed similarly as pre. In NF gr: TEMP flow decreased more at post HDBR Tilt compared to pre, but only at 10 s before the end of Tilt (P<0.05). During the last 10 s a negative TEMP diastolic component appeared which induced a drop in mean velocity until Tilt arrest. The sudden drop in TEMP flow with onset of a negative diastolic flow preceding the decrease in MCA flow confirm that the TEMP vascular resistance respond more directly than the cerebral one to the cardiac output redistribution and that this response occur several seconds before syncope.PLoS ONE 10/2011; 6(10):e22963.

Article: Simulation analysis for the safety protection of cervical vertebra under unusual landing impact[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to analyse and evaluate the protection function and feasibility of two types of human neck safety equipment under unusual landings. Human head and neck dynamic responses were simulated by constructing a mechanical model of the human-seat system, which was equipped with two kinds of head support systems. The force and moment in the human neck were calculated. The protection function of the head support systems was evaluated according to the injury criteria HIC (head injury criterion) and Nij (neck injury criterion). Two kinds of safety equipment were used under unusual landing. The results of the experiment showed that Nij is smaller than the injury criterion limits under normal landings, and that the safety equipment provided effective protection. The safety equipment was confirmed to reduce the degree of neck injuries resulting from unusual landing impacts.International Journal of Crashworthiness 10/2011; 16(5):1-5.

ABSTRACT: Impact acceleration is one of the factors to which human body is exposed in aerospace exploring. When the impact level is greater than human tolerance, it usually results in human injuries which may be fatal. Therefore, in order to reduce or avert the risk of serious injury from crash impact, human tolerance to impact acceleration is a crucial consideration in aircraft since the beginning of aviation. The study on human tolerance to impact acceleration has become a cynosure in the realm of modern biomechanics. So this paper reviews the progress of the researches.Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi 04/2010; 27(2):444-7.

ABSTRACT: When a spacecraft lands on the earth by parachute, the crewmen will be subjected to a high-level landing impact which could cause their body injuries in case of emergency. The purpose of this investigation was to analyse the human neck injury risk under the high-level landing impact, and to provide useful information for the protection design of the human-seat system in the spacecraft. On the basis of impact test, a mechanical model of the human-seat system was developed, and the acceleration responses at the seat and cushion were simulated using the finite element method. After the model was calibrated and validated, the forces and moments in the human neck were calculated. The degree of the human neck injury can be judged according to the standard of the human neck injury index (N ij < 1). The results showed that when both horizontal and vertical dropping velocity reach 7.5 m/s, the compressive force and extension moment in the human neck were, respectively, 6.58 kN and 100 Nm; and the injury index of the human neck was 1.81 (more than the critical value 1). It is concluded that under the high-level landing impact, the first reason for cervical fracture is the compressive force, and the second is the extension moment. It is necessary to take measures to reduce them to levels less than tolerance limits.International Journal of Crashworthiness 12/2009; 14(6-6):585-590.

Article: The declined phosphorylation of Heat shock protein 27 in rat cardiac muscle after hindlimb unloading[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Hindlimb unloading can induce the cardiac atrophy and diminished cardiac function, however, the mechanisms responsible for which remain elusive. The chronic volume unloading of heart, which decreases the local mechanical stress, may lead to cardiac atrophy after hindlimb unloading. Many studies showed that integrin signaling, p38 MAPK, Heat shock protein 27 and cytoskeleton involved in the hypertrophic growth induced by mechanical stress. However, the mechanisms responsible for cardiac atrophy after hindlimb unloading are still unclear. In this study, we used the tail-suspended, hindlimb unloading rat model to simulate the effects of microgravity. Western blot analysis was used to detect the protein expression of Heat shock protein 27, focal adhesion kinase, p38 MAPK and their phosphorylation levels in rat cardiac muscle after 14d hindlimb unloading. The results showed that the phosphorylation levels of both Heat shock protein 27 and p38 MAPK were decreased significantly in rat cardiac muscle after hindlimb unloading. However, the phosphorylation level of focal adhesion kinase was not decreased significantly. The results suggested that Heat shock protein 27, the downstream of p38 MAPK, might play a critical role in the cardiac atrophy in response to simulated microgravity induced by hindlimb unloading.Advances in Space Research 07/2009; 44(2-44):221-225.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to observe the acceleration responses of the key body segments to the landing impact in selected body positions. 5 young male subjects in 45 experiments were voluntarily exposed to the peak from 4 to 10g and duration from 50 to 80 ms acceleration pulses at 20° supine angle and the peak 10g and duration 50 ms impact at the supine angles from 20 to 60°. The acceleration responses on the dropping platform of the impact tower, the seat, the subject's head, shoulder, chest and ilium, as well as ECG of the subject were measured. The results demonstrated that the acceleration peaks of these key body segments in the chest-back direction had a highly significant positive correlation with the impact level. But their correlation in the head-foot direction was lower than that in the chest-back direction except that of the head. The acceleration peaks of these key body segments in the chest-back direction had a negative correlation with the supine angle. But the acceleration peaks of ilium in the head-foot direction had a positive correlation with the supine angle, and that of the chest almost bore no correlation. There were nonlinear relations between acceleration peak and supine angle at the head and the shoulder respectively, and the acceleration peaks of the head and shoulder in the head-foot direction reached minimum at about 40° supine angle. It is concluded that the acceleration responses of the key body segments demonstrate different properties between the chest-back direction and the head-foot direction. It is recommended that the angle of the seat back be adjusted about 40° before the spacecraft landing in order to prevent potential head injuries.Aerospace Science and Technology 06/2008; 12(4-12):331-336.

Article: The declined phosphorylation of Hsp27 in rat cardiac muscle after simulated microgravity induced by hindlimb unloading[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Many studies have shown that simulated microgravity induced by hindlimb unloading can decrease the contractility of rat cardiac muscle however the mechanisms responsible for which remain unclear Actin polymerization which can be regulated by Hsp27 has important role in the transmission of stress force during the contraction of cardiac muscle In this study western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of Hsp27 and phosphorylated Hsp27 FAK and phosphorylated FAK P38 MAPK and phosphorylated P38 MAPK in rat cardiac muscle after 14d hindlimb unloading The results showed that the phosphorylation levels of both Hsp27 and P38 MAPK were declined significantly which may decrease actin polymerization and inhibit the transmission of stress force during the contraction of rat cardiac muscle after hindlimb unloading However the phosphorylation level of FAK was not declined significantly in cardiac muscle The results suggested that the declined phosphorylation level of Hsp27 which may be ascribable to the decline of contractility of rat cardiac muscle after 14d hindlimb unloading may be induced by the declined phosphorylation level of P38 MAPK but not phosphorylation level of FAK
Article: The role of ERK in phasic and tonic contractile responses in rat femoral arteries after hindlimb unloading[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The present study tested the hypothesis that the role of ERK in phasic and tonic contractile responses is declined by hindlimb unloading (HU) in rat femoral arteries. Male Wistar rats were randomised into HU and Control group (n=7). After 14d, the femoral arteries were isolated and cut into 3-mm ring segments. In the absence or presence of PD98059(MEK inhibitor), contractile response to NE(10μM) was measured in Krebs solution in a tissue bath at 37°C, isometric tension were recorded with Powerlab system. The area under curve (AUC), phasic and tonic contractile responses between two groups were compared. After 14d-HU, the AUC, phasic and tonic NE-induced contractile responses were declined compared with controls. PD98059 did not affect the AUC in arteries from HU, but significantly decreased the AUC in arteries from control (100±7.1% vs. 61.18±11.3%, P<0.05). In contrast to control, the inhibitory ratio of PD98059 was significantly lower in phasic (7.42±3.24% vs. 33.59± 9.19%, P=0.0198) and tonic (26.93±3.78% vs. 46.75±5.67%, P=0.0131) contractile responses of HU group. Moreover, the inhibitory ratio of PD98059 wasn't significantly different between the phasic and tonic contractile responses in control group (P=0.2464). But for HU group, the difference was statistically significant (P=0.002). We demonstrated that the role of ERK was declined in both phasic and tonic contractile responses in rat femoral arteries after hindlimb unloading. Simulated microgravity induced by HU may attenuate the contractile responses of femoral arteries by inhibiting the role of ERK in thick and thin filament regulatory pathways.Conference proceedings: ...

Blackhawks ready for Olympic tryouts
Nick Leddy smiled at the possibility of making Team USA and playing for it in the 2014 Winter Olympics.
"It's just another dream I've always wanted to have come true," he said. "Watching Miracle on Ice, that's probably the best description of it. You watch what the USA sweater means, not just to players, but to the country."
It's a bit amusing as it is to hear Leddy talk about Miracle on Ice, considering he wasn't even close to being born when that stunning outcome played out in 1980. But you get what he means: to represent your country, to play with its name across your sweater, is something every hockey player strives to do. And several Blackhawks could have the opportunity to do that this winter.
[MORE: Quenneville earns three-year extension]
Several Blackhawks were invited to their respective country's team orientations this summer. Leddy, Brandon Saad and Patrick Kane got the invite for Team USA while Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Corey Crawford and Patrick Sharp got nods for Team Canada. While the orientation invites don't necessarily mean a player will make their respective teams – their play from October through December will decide that more – the possibility of playing in the Winter Olympics is nevertheless thrilling.
Duncan Keith knows what that Olympic feeling is like, having won gold with Team Canada in 2010 with Toews and Seabrook. And getting a chance to do it again will be welcomed.
"Obviously, just getting an invite is a huge compliment," he said. "You get that call from (Hockey Canada executive director) Steve Yzerman, you're definitely excited. And you'll do anything you can to make that team."
For Keith, it's somewhat familiar. But to others like Leddy, Crawford and Sharp, this is a new experience. Crawford has gone from questioned goaltender to a Team Canada invitee, and he can't help think about being part of the squad come late December/early January.
[RELATED: Saad, Leddy get their chance to make U.S. team]
"That would be awesome," he said. "I've never had the chance to play for team Canada in my career, and to be invited is pretty good. But I just have to worry about playing the season and focusing on each game. If it happens, great; that's a great opportunity. And if not, then you'll always have the season to focus on. But definitely, it's one of my big goals is to play for them."
Sharp echoed that sentiment.
"It's a huge honor, and it's a deep talent pool," he said. "To be on that list is something special to me, and I'll do whatever I can to make that team."

At over a million square feet and approximately 700,000 visitors annually, the Vancouver Convention Centre (VCC) is no stranger to waste management. With a membrane bioreactor treating 100% of collected sewage, water efficiency is a central tenet of this LEED Platinum facility.
Processing an average of 45,000 gallons a day (or 6,000 cubic feet), the 1,200-square-foot treatment plant is located in the Centre's West building, notes Mike Garcia, senior manager of VCC's facility operations and engineering. Black and greywater are collected at two lift stations on either side of the centre. Depending on the volume, waste is either pumped to the city sewer or an equalization tank adjacent to the treatment plant.
Two grinder pumps draw the water from the 10,000-gallon holding tank to the aeration tanks, where bacteria break down the solids. The liquid sewage then flows into the membrane bioreactor. Water is extracted by use of a vacuum induced on the filter and effluent is separated. Chlorine is injected into the effluent before going into a touch tank that removes any turbidity.
The treated water then goes to two 10,000-gallon storage tanks. Pumps move the treated water back into the building for toilet flushing and irrigation needs, most notably on the centre's hallmark six-acre green roof.
The waste treatment plant is staffed by a full-time operator. Daily labs are drawn for water quality and samples are sent out twice a week for third-party testing. A consulting firm is responsible for collecting the reports and submitting them to the Ministry of Environment, a Canadian federal agency.
While the plant has experienced little downtime over the years, the biggest challenge has been adjusting to the centre's peak and slow times. To keep the bacteria levels consistent during the off season, dog food is used to act as supplemental sewage. It's an unusual maintenance request, but it keeps the system running smoothly regardless of restroom traffic.
While the membrane bioreactor offers significant water savings, it works in conjunction with several other efficiency features to maximize conservation. The building also uses low-flow toilets and faucets, grease interceptors, and a 72-zone drip irrigation system that has 15 moisture detectors for its living roof.
Turn Blackwater into a Green Opportunity
A Platinum Solution for Sewage
While the investments were part of a bigger sustainability package, the savings are obvious – close to 74 million gallons of water reclaimed since 2008.
"There's a lot of interest in adopting this technology at other properties," says Garcia. "Out of all of the convention centre's green features, the sewage treatment plant is by far the most toured part of the building by industry colleagues."

Hi, I am a pretty down to earth girl who enjoys a simple life. I try to put my best foot forward and give it my all in everything I do. Whether it is going for a walk, working out, working on little projects, lounging at the beach or swinging the golf clubs for a quick 9 holes, I love being outdoors. Southern California offers unbelievable year around weather that I am grateful for and I try to make the most of it. I like relaxing at the end of the day with some good conversation. I also have a 5 year old little boy who is the love of my life. I love trying new things, especially foods (who doesn't! :). That might have come from growing up in the Bay Area (Saratoga...usually people don't know where this is so I say 'Los Gatos' area). From Vietnamese Pho to delicious curry, I love it all (minus the chicken feet). I hope to find someone to enjoy life with. Everyday I learn something new about myself, those around me and life. Hopefully I can find someone that will make me a better person and I would do the same in return. I am amazed with goal driven people who enjoy their work just as much as their fun.

Timing Services
Race Timing Unlimited offers disposable tag, reusable chip and manual timing services for up to 50,000 finishers. Hey - we're unlimited - challenge us to go beyond the 50,000 runner limit.
For disposable tag timing, the Chronotrack bib tag system is used with start and finish times recored and whatever splits that you desire, reporting gun time and personal times.
For reusable chip timing, the Winning Time passive system is used. Each runner will wear an electronic chip on the lower leg that will record gun finish time. Recording start times is also possible. Reporting gun time and personal times is possible.
If you have a race with less than 350 registered runners, we have the crews, equipment, systems and know how to produce an exceptionally accurate timed race using manual methods. Preliminary results will be provided for awards at the race site. Final results later that evening. (We like to watch the finish video and see all the smiling faces).
Depending on the option you pick, there is a minumum charge that includes all travel expenses and all special configurations, and will cover a base number of registered runners. Then, a per registered runner fee for registered runners in excess of the base number.

Having measured and received USATF certification on over 100 courses in the last 16 years, we are available to measure courses over any solid surface. Based on layout, USATF certification can be received. Also, we can help layout a race course and provide our experienced insight.
We charge $70 per hour for race measurement services. For courses that you have designed, a typical course takes about 1 hour per kilometer.

Tonight as I watched the poetry that is The Hundred-Foot Journey, a part of me broke open. As I explained to my aunt and my mom when we came home after the film - sharing such a beautiful story of acceptance of our magnificent Indian culture, in the setting of the often ethnocentrically perceived nation of France, is indicative of the hope and pockets of beauty embedded within profound change and transition.
Some readers may be well aware of the five stages of grief, the natural process of grieving, which, according to Kubler-Ross, move from denial to anger to fear to grief and finally to acceptance. Now that we have come to appreciate that obesity is a chronic disease, it should come as no surprise that these five stages also apply to obesity.
Constantly trying to avoid being disliked can take its toll on one's mental health. Indeed, most of the people I have seen in therapy with such an issue were more harmed by the worry and anxiety caused by the possibility of being disliked than by actual instances of rejection or negative evaluation.

Eligibility questions remain for two incoming UConn freshmen
After being ineligible for the postseason last season, Connecticut has the pieces this year to get back in the mix for the NCAA tournament. In fact, many think the Huskies could be in the top 25 heading into the campaign.
However, two of its incoming freshmen are still waiting to be cleared by the NCAA. New York native Terrence Samuel needs to finish some high school classes, but head coach Kevin Ollie thinks Samuel will be fine for the fall.
The more confusing situation is that of Kentan Facey, a Jamaica native who played at Long Island Lutheran (N.Y.) the past three seasons.
According to Dom Amore of the Hartford Courant, Facey "passed a standardized test [back in Jamaica] that could be considered the equivalent of graduating from high school." Essentially, that means Facey's college eligibility, in the NCAA's eyes, could have started before he even got to Long Island Lutheran three years ago.
John Infante of the Bylaw Blog writes that Facey could be looked at under the NCAA's "delayed enrollment rule."
"Athletes are given a one-year grace period after their actual or expected graduation to continue competing without penalty. After that they are charged one season of competition for each year they competed, plus they must serve a year in residence, i.e. a mandatory redshirt as freshmen.
Because Facey played three years are leaving Jamaica, the worst-case scenario is that he loses two seasons of eligibility and must sit out the 2013-14 season."
Like with Samuel, Ollie seems optimistic about Facey's short-term future with the Huskies.
"There are some eligibility issues with his coming over from Jamaica and going to Long Island," Ollie told Amore. "We've got to discuss that with NCAA. I don't see it being a problem, once he is able to tell his side and why he decided to come over when he did and what was the formality of him being placed in a certain grade. I think we got a great case on our side and I think we'll see him with a UConn jersey on in the fall, also. But if we don't, we've got to move on like we always do. Take the good with the bad and learn from it, rally around him and rally around our team."
Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright are among five starters returning from last season's 20-win team. Sophomore guard Omar Calhoun and breakout candidate DeAndre Daniels also averaged double-figures for the Huskies.

Could someone please help me? I have been brushing up my skills and techniques, starting with such things as zippers, pockets, etc. I am attempting to put in an invisible zipper. I follow the directions carefully and consistently end up with the zipper in backwards! Cam anyone direct me to a good video that I could follow? I place my zipper right side down on the right side of the fabric, i iron out the coils, and it turns out that the zipper ends up on the wrong side of the garment. The crazy thing is...is that I put them in before and just forgot how to, again. No matter what I do, it always comes out with the zipper facing the inside of the garment. Right side to right side? Right?[QUOTE]The ultimate choice for a man in as much as he is given to transcend himself is to create or destroy. to love or to have...Eric Fromm
I learned a simple trick. Right to right, raw to raw.
Basically, you line up the right sides of the zipper tape with the right side of the fabric and match the raw(cut edge of fabric) to raw(outside edge of zipper tape).
I just searched on you tube invisible zipper and got a lot of videos. You may want to check that out. You tube is great for a lot of things. Sometimes crazy things you would never guess would be on there. Good luck.
Forgot to say there was one video where the lady speaks about sewing a basting stitch at the 5/8 inch mark for lining up the zipper to. Why I haven't done that before I don't know. Seems so easy instead of marking with a chalk pencil that fades. Can't remember which one that was now.
Definitely helps "seeing" it in video. -- Edited on 10/8/13 12:16 PM --
That's a handy thing to remember, because it is so visual. I need that for sewing! Even though I have put in a few invisible zippers, I still have to look at my favorite article in Threads magazine, and stand and stare and visualize it! I don't know why, but maybe it just seems so counter intuitive the way an invisible zipper goes into a garment.
Anyway, thanks for the right to right, raw to raw. I might have to write that on a card and post it on my wall in my sewing room!
It is usually that little "flip" at the very bottom of the zipper that will trick you up. Because of the way you sew it, you may have to tuck around the bottom portion of the zipper to the proper side.
Try to baste one in first by hand to figure out what is going on.

Desperately trying to keep ahead of my pattern, fabric and dressform collection!
So true about the little flip at the bottom. I forgot about that.
I used the Colette tutorial when I was trying to wrap my head around invisible zips.
Colette Invisible Zip tutorial
The flip is definitely the tricky part. Also, I read at some point NOT to sew the seam before inserting an invisible zip. This helped me tremendously. I sew the zipper with two "loose" pieces of fabric and for whatever reason, it goes in easier.
Good luck!

Council votes tax package down again
BATON ROUGE - Metro Council members voted tonight not to send Mayor-President Kip Holden's tax proposal package on to East Baton Rouge Parish voters this October.
The vote was 9-1 not to put the measure on the ballot. Two members of the Council were absent.
Earlier, Holden had the chance to make his case for the package of bonds and tax increases, which would have raised $748 million over 18 years to pay for public safety, infrastructure and other projects in the parish.
At their last meeting Council members voted not to even introduce the measure, preventing any public comment on it. Holden in turn placed the item on the regular agenda for tonight's meeting, which allowed public comment and debate.
News 2's Kristy Davis will have more on the decision tonight at 10 p.m.

Tallahassee, Florida - September 9, 2012
The Leon County Sheriff's Office Announces Annual "Leon County Deputy of the Year Award."
The Leon County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) Citizen's Academy Alumni Association (CAAA) has established an annual 'Leon County Deputy of the Year Award' to be presented to an outstanding Deputy during October of each year.
In keeping with the mission of the Association to "promote and preserve a close relationship between the alumni, the community and the LCSO," the intent of the award is to provide a way for the CAAA to recognize a Deputy that has been identified by a citizen for outstanding service to the community. Anyone can nominate a Deputy for outstanding service performed in Leon County during the designated time period of April 1, 2011 and September 25, 2012. While the event/service must take place in Leon County, the person making the nomination does not have to be a resident of Leon County.
Deputies are serving the community in many types of situations each day. The categories of outstanding service to be recognized include; heroic life saving event, distinguished above & beyond service, community involvement, exemplary level of professionalism.
Click on the document attached to the story to download a nomination form. Award nomination forms are also available through the Leon County Sheriff's Office Crime Prevention Unit. After the nomination deadline, the nominations will be reviewed by a panel consisting of the Sheriff, members of CAAA and members of the community.
The award will consist of a cash award, an engraved plaque. The award presentation will be made at the graduation banquet of the LCSO Citizen's Academy in October 9, 2012.
For Additional Information, Contact: Lt. Nancy Burns, LCSO Crime Prevention Unit, 850-922-3331 or email email@example.com

Learn why you may, or may not, want a new aftermarket sound card, external or otherwise.
Episode # 4-31 available on : Youtube Vimeo
Released: April 19, 2014
Most sound systems, head phones and headsets have an impedance of 32 ohms, and most modern on-board sound cards use better digital to analog converters, so for the common user, the answer is in fact, not really.
Now, for those wondering if they should be getting a new sound card, you might be asking that question because you either have a higher end headset, or head phones with an audio impedance greater than 32 ohms. The volume on your current sound card is too low. The audio quality is horrible. You might have too much interference. You have a new 8 channel sound system, and most on-board sound cards only have enough ports for 6 channels of sound. Or, the sound card is missing some features you require.
The choice now is whether you should have a portable solution, also known as an external sound card, or an internal solution. Many people other there will basically tell you to go with the USB solution, and most of the time they may be right, but the usage scenario is what is required.
In my case, I have tons of gadgets all over my desk for many different tasks. I don't have the space, nor the desire to have an USB sound card on my desk. Many of you may think like myself and consider getting sound cards like the SoundBlaster Zx, or ZxR. Some of you are gamers and may want to get a Asus ROG Xonar Phoebus card, some of you may also want to try other solutions.
Some of you may want to use the USB method, in that case you may definitely want to try sound cards like the Creative USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX which is an external USB sound card solution.
Now, just so we understand something, most of us have trouble telling the difference between bad audio, and low volume audio. Getting a better sound card solves that. Interference is rare, but if that is an issue, avoid using the front header for you audio needs. Most on-board audio sound cards are usually designed for headphones, headsets, or sound systems with an impedance of 32 ohms. Getting a better sound card allows us to get higher impedance headsets, headphones, and sound systems.
For those who wish to use the optical output, if your motherboard has an optical out, you don't need to get a new sound card, the output is identical because the DAC is not used in either case.

It should remove all traces of the virus, provided the hard drive has no bad sectors on it. It it does, you the mentioned Spinrite to try to fix the hard drive then run DBAN after, but usually, DBAN can erase the entire drive without issue. I've used it on maximum and let it run almost 16 hours on my friends computer, that is why this episode exists.
Great! I am going to run 'autonuke' on a machine that has polymorphic malware, not sure if it is in the MBR or somewhere else on the machine. Assuming autonuke runs fully without any error, will it remove the malware from the computer with certainty?
Yes, it will wipe all data, including the master boot record on your hard drive. If you are unable to get DBAN to work correctly, consider using Spinrite to fix the drive so DBAN can work, rarely needed, good to have.

The Kleemann Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is a 60% locking mechanism. It can be fitted to cars with "large housing differential" i.e. only V6, V8 and V12 cars including AMG models.
By powering both drive wheels, the engine�۪s power is distributed more evenly, reducing wheel spin and lowering acceleration times. Fitting only a Kleemann LSD can reduce the 0-62 mph acceleration time of a 560 HP CLS63K by up to 0.3 of a second.

Completly exclusive to Simply Ghost Nights Ripon Museum is a very active location. Step back in time and take in the atmosphere of the doom and gloom the poor unfortunate residents of the workhouse would have felt from the moment they stepped through the door.
"Hush-a-bye baby, on a tree top. When you grow old, your wages will stop. When you have spent the little you made. First to the poorhouse and then to the grave."...... This rhyme tells the story of many a working man's life in the 19th Century. The rather elegant building in Allhallowgate, standing in grounds graced with flower beds, trees, lilacs and even a passion flower, seems far removed from the dreaded Workhouse in Oliver Twist.
A feeling of doom or at best hopeless resignation must have fallen on many passing through the Gatehouse arch and hearing the door shut behind them. They knew they would leave only in the regulation coffin, 'with two handles, name of the person with the year of their decease inscribed'. Coffins were ordered in bulk.

Man Bites Dog Records is proud to present Diggaz With Attitude (Stu Bangas & Vanderslice's) new music video "Casino Royale" with Apathy & Blacastan. Song produced by Vanderslice. Video directed by R.M.L & shot by J. Grove (Grandpa Grove Films). Shot on location at the Mohegan Sun Casino in CT. Album in stores 8-28-2012.
Much fresha than i thought it would be.
The video isn't that great, but I really like the song. Dope beat, dope lyrics.
Song is a banger the video is a bit weak. Cliche half naked bird was totally unnecessary. Can't wait for the LP though, solid list of MCs and these two cats make pretty consistent production I dig.
I agree with the above comments. Apathy's verse was especially dope. Yeah the video is wack though. What Casino did they film that at? It looks like it's in the middle of fucking no where. They should have shot that shit in Vegas.
Apathy said it was a Casino, cant remember the name at the moment, in Connecticut.

As John Hollinger wrote in 2009, there's a new motto in today's NBA: Live by the 3 or die. "Few stats correlate better with winning than 3-point attempts," he wrote. "We all know if you don't shoot the 3, you're probably not going to win," says Popovich, whose Spurs set an NBA Finals record for 3s last year. "Everybody in the league shoots the 3-point shot well and knows the importance. "I still hate it."
John Hollinger Rumors
Hollinger: I met one or two guys like that (who believe the numbers trump all). They don't work in the league….I don't think you can do it that way. Eventually, the same thing is going to happen to guys who think they can do it without any data at all.
Myth No. 5: Stat guys don't even watch the games. Hollinger: We watch a lot of (bleeping) games. I don't know where that one started. I guarantee you everyone who's doing analytics watches a lot more games than Charles Barkley does.
Geoff Calkins: Been busy writing a column. But five things I know: 1. Joerger hasn't yet met with Pera, but has been told he will be head coach. 2. Pera would like Hollinger to stay, but Hollinger hasn't decided. 3. Pera met with one minority owner on this, Staley Cates. 4. Stu Lash was only fired as Levien's loyal assistant, and he will be missed. 5. There's nothing quite like covering the Griz.
Geoff Calkins: Working on column now, but, yeah, Joerger is the coach going forward. Unclear how long Wallace has the big job. Hollinger probably stays.

Leonardo da Vinci is known across the world for his creative genius. Among
his innovative technical drawings we find designs of mechanical wings, military
artillery, anatomical drawings, and much more. Many of today's technologies
are based on da Vinci's original concepts because they were so advanced
at the time, and even established many fundamentals of machine engineering.
People throughout history have honored his designs by building modern replicas
based on his technical drawings. What better way to honor da Vinci than by incorporating
some of his technical drawings into today's manufacturing technology?
This paper describes another way of building da Vinci machines, but with the
additional irony of doing so in the microscopic scale. Our MEMS (Micro Electro
Mechanical System) da Vinci chip boasts three familiar designs, imitating da
Vinci's mechanical concepts: mechanical lion, the Vitruvian man, and a
winged machine which is a combination of two of da Vinci's visions for
flying devices. In additional to the da Vinci chip, we have included several
different mechanisms that actuate each of the designs. Those mechanisms include
electrostatics, thermal actuators, and coulombic repulsion.
Leonardo da Vinci could have benefited from modern materials and manufacturing
techniques. Many of his machine visions (especially the flying ones) were doomed
from the outset because of material strength-to-density ratios and gravitational
dominance. We would like to think that da Vinci would approve of the efforts
to bring his designs into the microscale, where the surface to volume ratio
effects virtually eliminate gravitational effects, in favor of surface area
effects, such as the surface charge density effect we use to advantage in bringing
his microscale machines spontaneously to life.
When attempting to create some of Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical designs
and bringing in some of his iconic drawings into MEMS, one has to understand
how mechanical devices work. With this chip, we expected that the designs needed
to remain identical to da Vinci's designs but still incorporate structures
and components related to MEMS. In doing so, our chip was designed with three
different major components/phenomena. These include thermal actuators, the use
of coulombic repulsion between MEMS structures, and electrostatics.
The three designs include da Vinci's mechanical lion, the Vitruvian man,
and a combination of the flying mechanism and flapping wings.
The mechanical lion (figure 1), the Vitruvian man (figure 2), and a combination
of the flying mechanism (figure 3) and flapping wings (figure 4) were used to
create three very distinctive MEMS designs, whose artistry and complexity is
enabled by the most advanced surface micromachining process in the world, the
SUMMiT™ architecture from Sandia National Labs.
The MEMS mechanical lion (figure 5) uses a special 4-bar linkage made out of
a crank rocker and a crank slider, which is the same approach that da Vinci
used in his original mechanical lion. This allows for the lion to walk/run with
all 4 legs simultaneously. The MEMS Vitruvian man (figure 6) uses 4 hot-cold
thermal actuators in series to allow the Vitruvian man to perform jumping jacks.
The MEMS flying machine (figure 7) uses the flapping wings (figure 4) and the
body frame of the flying mechanism (figure 3) in combination. Charge pumping
is used to raise the wings from the surface of the chip spontaneously when imaged
by SEM. There is also a ground bridge directly above the beams connected to
the wings to allow the wings to discharge when touching the bridge. This then
allows the wings to fall back down to the chip and build up the coulombic repulsion
once again to create a "flapping" motion. With all three designs,
one can see how combining both da Vinci's designs in the microscale create
something that hasn't been seen before. We offer this da Vinci tribute
in the hopes that it will inspire yet further generations of engineers.

dynamite! this is the one! she consistently picks songs that suit her voice, (which is amazing!), and she doesn't perform, she COMMUNICATES musically! This girl will go FAR, with or without IDOL!!!
