TEDMED Live comes to Galway
Friday, 26 April 2013
Students and staff at NUI Galway's School of Medicine recently collaborated in hosting a major international conference addressing healthcare issues of global significance. TEDMED Live was held at the University on Friday, April 19 as a satellite event of the annual TEDMED conference taking place at the Kennedy Centre in Washington DC, USA. NUI Galway is one of the first institutions outside the United States to receive permission from TEDMED, a multi-disciplinary community of innovators and leaders working together to address the societal causes of ill health, to stage a local conference. The NUI Galway TEDMED Live event attracted over 250 delegates, comprising medical students and academic staff, who contributed to the pre-conference discussions using social media. Organised by Tariq Esmail, a third-year medical student from Canada studying at NUI Galway, the event featured four local NUI Galway speakers, each of whom delivered a short presentation on one of TEDMED's 20 Great Challenges in Medicine. Professor Timothy O'Brien, Director of the Regenerative Medicine Institute at NUI Galway, explored innovative approaches to human tissue regeneration. Professor Laurence Egan, a Consultant in Gastroenterology, tackled the topic of chronic disease management. Dr Francis Finucance, a Consultant Endocrinologist at University Hospital Galway, gave a captivating perspective on societal approaches to managing the obesity crisis. Professor Matt Griffin, Professor of Transplant Biology at NUI Galway, highlighted the central role of the patient in healthcare in his engaging talk entitled Patient-centred care has been and always will be a winning philosophy. All of the local speakers' presentations were professionally recorded and will be shared with a global audience on www.TEDMED.com. TEDMED has committed to inviting the most creative and engaging speakers to next year's main conference in the USA. The organisation granted permission to NUI Galway to transmit their preferred session from the TEDMED conference in the USA to their local delegates at last Friday's event. This webcast featured six international speakers, including such luminaries as Dr Francis S. Collins, an American physician-geneticist renowned for his leadership of the International Human Genome Project and currently serving as Director of the National Institutes of Health in the USA. Reflecting on the success of this international partnership, Dr Gerard Flaherty, Senior Lecturer in Clinical Medicine and Medical Education at NUI Galway and academic adviser for the conference, said: "The School of Medicine at NUI Galway is proud to have been the first Irish institution to host a TEDMED Live satellite conference. The success of this initiative owes much to the vision and diligence of Tariq Esmail, one of our most capable international medical students, to the MedSoc student society, to the enthusiastic student and academic delegates attending the event, and to the powerful impact of the four local speakers, whose presentations have now reached a global audience. Dr Flaherty added: "We are planning to create a novel special study module, entitled TEDMED, which will give ownership of the event to our students and allow us to stage a TEDMED conference annually and invite a larger audience from the wider University and the general public. TEDMED is a forum for innovative approaches to complex global health problems and NUI Galway is proud to be an active partner in this influential community of thinkers and opinion leaders." -ENDS-

Exploring the Saltiness of the Ocean to Study Climate Change
Tuesday, 30 April 2013
Details are emerging from a recent research expedition to the Sub-Tropical North Atlantic. The objective of the expedition was to study the salt concentration (salinity) of the upper ocean. Scientists aboard the Spanish research vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa, including National University of Ireland Galway's Dr Brian Ward with two of his PhD students, Graig Sutherland and Anneke ten Doeschate, explored the essential role of the ocean in the global water cycle. This oceanographic research campaign is aimed at understanding the salinity of the upper ocean, which is a much more reliable indicator of the water cycle than any land-based measurement. How the water cycle evolves in response to global warming is one of the most important climate change issues. The experiment was located in the North Atlantic Salinity Maximum, which has the highest salt concentration of any of the world's oceans. Dr Ward explains: "It is not the depths of the ocean which is its most important aspect, but its surface. Everything that gets exchanged between the ocean and atmosphere, such as water, must cross the air-sea interface. We are trying to better understand how small scale turbulence is responsible for the air-sea exchange of freshwater. What is surprising is that these small-scale processes can affect large-scale patterns over the North Atlantic, and we are trying to connect the dots." The initial part of this ocean field campaign was to conduct a survey of the area to map out horizontal and vertical distribution of salinity using an instrument that was towed behind the ship. "We found quite a lot of fresher water intermingled with the background salty water, but it is moving around quite a bit due to ocean currents, and when we returned to the fresh patch, it had moved. We were currently hunting for this freshwater, as one of the objectives is to understand the spatial inhomogeneity of the upper ocean salinity", explains Dr Ward. Studying the processes at the ocean surface requires specialised instrumentation, as most measurements 'miss' the upper few meters. The National University of Ireland Galway's AirSea Group are measuring the salinity, temperature, and turbulence of the upper 10 metres of the ocean with very fine detail using their Air-Sea Interaction Profiler (ASIP). The torpedo-shaped device, which is deployed into the water to gather data autonomously, is unique and the only one of its kind. Dr Ward explains: "The ocean surface has been the focus of my research for several years, but there was no easy way to measure what is going on here as there were no instruments available, so we built our own." The ability to make these unique measurements has resulted in international recognition for the research being conducted at National University of Ireland Galway. Dr Ward's Research Group is the AirSea Laboratory, which is affiliated with the Ryan Institute and resides in the School of Physics at the National University of Ireland Galway. The main objective of the AirSea Laboratory is to study the upper ocean and lower atmosphere processes which are responsible for atmosphere-ocean exchange. This experiment is concerned with air-sea exchange of water, but other studies that the AirSea Laboratory have been involved with were looking at how carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas, is transported between the air and sea. Dr Ward explains: "The ocean and atmosphere are a coupled system and therefore need to be studied in unison. A major part of our research is to determine how this system affects and is affected by climate and environmental change." This Irish and Spanish collaboration is part of a bigger international effort called SPURS - Salinity Processes in the Upper Ocean Regional Study. There was also an American research ship in the area participating in the SPURS study, and the Spanish ship was visited by Dr Ray Schmitt from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). Dr Ward collaborates extensively with the WHOI scientists: "The WHOI scientists have autonomous gliders with microsensors attached, similar to our ASIP. During our measurements, they directed their gliders to the same area as ASIP, and we provided them with data to ground-truth their measurements. This was an excellent opportunity to enhance our links with WHOI, who are the largest oceanographic research institution in the USA." One of the biggest motivators for SPURS was the recent launch of two satellites for measuring ocean salinity: the European Space Agency's Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS), and NASA's Aquarius mission. Dr Ward explains: "It is envisioned that with the combination of the in-situ measurements, satellites, and computer models, we can improve our estimates of global climate change and the water cycle. These data will also be used to improve weather forecasting, and we worked with the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting during this field experiment." The research vessel left the Canary Islands on 16 March and completed its journey in the Azores on 13 April, during which time the vessel was home to 19 scientists, 6 technicians and 18 crew members. -ends-

NUI Galway Researchers Reveal How the Brain Suppresses Pain During Times of Stress
Wednesday, 6 March 2013
New findings about how the brain functions to suppress pain have been published in the leading journal in the field Pain, by NUI Galway researchers. For the first time, it has been shown that suppression of pain during times of fear involves complex interplay between marijuana-like chemicals and other neurotransmitters in a brain region called the amygdala. The work was carried out by Dr David Finn and his research team in Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Centre for Pain Research and Galway Neuroscience Centre at the National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science, NUI Galway. The research builds on previous breakthrough findings from Dr Finn's research group on the role of marijuana-like chemicals in the brain's hippocampus in pain suppression during fear. Pain is both a sensory and an emotional experience and is subject to modulation by a number of factors including fear and stress. During exposure to a high-stress environment or stimulus, pain transmission and perception can be potently suppressed. This important survival response can help us cope with or escape from potentially life-threatening situations. One brain region that is integral to the processing and expression of both emotional responses and pain is the amygdala. Working with Dr Finn, first author Dr Kieran Rea was able to confirm the amygdala as a key brain region in the suppression of pain behaviour by fear (so-called fear-induced analgesia). Fear-induced analgesia was associated with increases in levels of marijuana-like substances known as endocannabinoids in the amygdala. Furthermore, fear-induced analgesia was prevented by injecting a drug that blocked the receptor at which these endocannabinoids act into the amygdala. Further experimentation revealed that these effects involved an interaction between endocannabinoids and the classical neurotransmitters GABA (Gamma-amino butyric acid) and glutamate. An increased understanding of the biological mechanisms involved in fear-induced analgesia is important from a fundamental physiological perspective and may also advance the search for new therapeutic approaches to the treatment of pain. Dr David Finn, Leader of the Galway Neuroscience Centre, Co-Director of the Centre for Pain Research at NUI Galway and study leader says: "The body can suppress pain when under extreme stress, in part through the action of marijuana-like substances produced in the brain. This research provides information on the complex interactions between multiple neurotransmitter systems including endocannabinoids, GABA and glutamate in times of stress and pain. This research which was funded by a grant from Science Foundation Ireland, advances our fundamental understanding of the neurobiology of pain and may facilitate the identification of new therapeutic targets for the treatment of pain and anxiety disorders." -ends-

Dragon to Teach Start-up Hatchlings How to Fly at Final Exponential Event
Tuesday, 12 March 2013
The final Exponential, an NUI Galway funded event which allows the public to meet start-up founders, students, techies and entrepreneurs in a fun and casual way, will take place in Kelly's Bar on Tuesday, 19 March at 7.30pm. Guest speaker for the final will be Barry O'Sullivan, Senior Vice President at Cisco Systems and one of the new "Dragons" on RTÉ's Dragon's Den show. Over the past four months, Exponential has given hundreds of students the opportunity to meet some of Ireland's technology start-up companies and innovative entrepreneurs, to share ideas, and to learn how some NUI Galway graduates started their own business, right out of college. The final event will centre around a "fireside chat" with one of Ireland's top technology leaders, Barry O'Sullivan. As well as his role as SVP at Cisco, he is a technology investor and co-founder of the Irish Technology Leadership Group (ITLG), a network of Irish and Irish American technology leaders. Some of the topics for discussion on the night will include Barry's take on how he found the whole Dragon's Den experience, how start-up companies should go about getting funding, and some advice for people on what to do, and not to do when starting with their business model. Throughout the night, students and other attendees will be able to interact with other start-up company founders, speak to potential employers, and learn what it takes to develop a business idea, form a team, raise finance, set up and run a company. Those who already have a novel idea for a product or business can share their idea and get advice and feedback from fellow students and other entrepreneurs. This is a free event, open to all, but you do need to register at http://exponential4.eventbrite.com/ or via the Exponential website at http://exponential.ly/ Exponential is a project undertaken as part of the NUI Galway/Students' Union EXPLORE initiative. Further details on this initiative are available at http://www.su.nuigalway.ie/explore/. -ENDS-

Pre-clinical Research Shows Promising Treatment for Diabetic Wounds using Stem Cells
Tuesday, 12 March 2013
Pre-clinical research has generated some very promising findings using adult stem cells for the treatment of diabetic wounds. The research carried out by scientists at the National University of Ireland Galway, is published in Diabetes, the official journal of the American Diabetes Association. The work showed that a particular type of stem cell, known as the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC), could increase wound healing when applied together with a biomaterial made from collagen. Diabetic patients have an impaired ability to heal wounds and there is a critical need to develop new treatments to improve healing particularly in patients with foot ulcers. In fact, foot ulceration will affect up to 25% of people suffering from diabetes during their lives and may result in amputation. For the past number of years, lead-author on the research paper Dr Aonghus O'Loughlin has been funded by Molecular Medicine Ireland to work in the Regenerative Medicine Institute (REMEDI) at National University of Ireland Galway and Galway University Hospitals. He collaborates with Professor Timothy O'Brien, Director of REMEDI, to develop new ways to increase healing of diabetic wounds. Professor O'Brien, principal investigator on the research project, said: "This data will now allow us proceed to apply for approval to carry out first in human studies of this therapeutic approach. We are currently preparing the regulatory submission to undertake a human clinical trial. Meanwhile, part of the funding needed to pursue the human clinical trial has been received from Diabetes Ireland." "MSC's have many attractive therapeutic properties", Professor O'Brien added. "They can be isolated from adults and are easy to grow in the laboratory. It has been shown in Galway and by other scientists that they release special factors that can help new blood vessels to grow. Increasing blood flow is a key step in wound healing." REMEDI is a Science Foundation Ireland-funded research centre, led by National University of Ireland Galway, with partners in University College Cork and NUI Maynooth. The research centre is a partnership between scientists, clinicians and industry and is the leading centre in the area of stem cell and regenerative medicine in Ireland. REMEDI is a part of the National University of Ireland Galway's translational and clinical research programme with the objective of translating research discoveries into improved patient care. -ends-

Created a sister site to the one I currently have so I exported database from site 1 and imported into site 2. Before I did the import I went through with subEtha and changed the url so that links, etc. would work.
And they did. Except for images within posts. They're not displaying.
When I look at the paths in Firebug I see the domain is correct, but the format of the path is showing:
see the double // after uploads? However, on Site 1 the uploaded images are indeed in /uploads/ and no deeper directory.
Any ideas why that is and an easy fix without having to edit each and every post?

Mangaka: Shinji Kajio (story), Kenji Tsuruta (art)
Genre: Sci-fi/Romance
Review Status: Complete (1 Volume/1 Volume)
Licensed: No, this is unlicensed in the US.
Art: This has a rougher look to it than more lighthearted stories. I wouldn't say it's like a rough sketch, but it's not as finished or as fine as other titles. I'd liken it to Music of Marie or Children of the Sea. It looks good. Different, but good.
Summary: A boy. A girl. A ferry. A wild story about memory. Who is Emanon, and why does she have memories going back to the beginning of life on earth?
Review: Told in chapters that are labeled by what time they take place that day, Memories of Emanon makes no bones about what it is: a story about a girl who has memories dating back to the beginning of the world. And to get you to buy into it, this breaks the fourth wall a bit by having her tell it to a boy who's very into sci-fi stories. Suspension of disbelief at work right there!
Emanon works very well as a manga about identity. If you have memories of thousands of people and beings that aren't your own, where does your personality begin and theirs end? The anagram of her name (No Name, to be specific), is a subtle hint that because she's unsure of her own identity, she can't really differentiate herself with something as simple as a name. And what use would someone like that have? These ideas are actually explored by the characters themselves on their trip across the sea.
Emanon takes a bit of a unique take on the idea of traveling, as well. Usually we see men wandering, trying to find themselves. Having a female heroine gives a different twist on matters, especially since this also plays into the memory and theories – apparently, she only remembers the memories of her direct female ancestors, and if you know your biology, mitochondrial DNA is passed on from a mother to all of her descendants, creating direct genetic lines through women. So when it plays with the idea of those memories being a genetic 'illness', it isn't that far out there for a sci-fi story.
This is an incredibly short manga, but for all that it manages to balance the themes and characters really well. The POV is from a man who is fairly average in every respect. He's in college, he likes sci-fi, and he likes to drink and have some late-night theorizing with a girl who can talk about anything and everything under the sun. Enamon also seems fairly normal except for her story. There's a bit of a throw at the end of it, where she claims that it was merely part of a story she had made up, but the amount of pages it takes up clearly shows it's not to anyone reading this. Tossing theories back-and-forth give you a good amount of personality for both of them, and there's an interesting chemistry going on. I have to admit, I was curious about where that would go (and wasn't all that shocked by the ending), but nonetheless thought it an excellent way to build and bring depth to these characters.
What this manga really lacks in is space. This really did a fabulous job with the amount of pages it had, but really could have been expanded or given more impact had it been longer. Sometimes a manga can outstay its welcome, but this is a rare case where I think that it could be improved with some breathing room. Because it only had so much, things that could have been (should have been) given with subtle pictures and dialogue – and this had starkly beautiful pauses where it could squeeze them in – had to be spelled out. Emanon's decision at the end of the volume really stands out to me as part of it.
Overall, it's a fantastic and incredibly brief read. Definitely worth the five minute perusal!
Recommended: If you like sci-fi, it's a solid, short title that is very enjoyable. 16+ for some partial nudity, implied sex, and heavy themes.
Overall rating: 8/10. It spells out a bit too much, but is pretty interesting.

Build-Up to The Office Finale

Re: Build-Up to The Office Finale
The finale was OK, I'd give it a B. It was great that they didn't let Carrell ham it up all over the place. The saddest thing was to see how the show had sunk from sharp, incisive and believable to unfocused, mushy and absurd. If it had ended after five years I would probably rank it near the original "Office" and
The Larry Sanders Show
for workplace comedies but the last few seasons really dulled its luster.
I was surprised not to see Jan, Packer and too a lesser extent Gabe. Rachael Harris didn't look right, like she's had something done to her face.
I have to ask again: Is there any realistic scenario whereby PBS or anyone else would pay a documentary crew for nine years before showing any of the product? I didn't buy it.

As pleasant experience as a dentist can be
Dr. Park has extracted two of my wisdom teeth in the past year on two seperate occassions. He could not have been better. His professionalism and Dr. Patient communication were fantastic. The office and staf were as good. I highly reccomend Dr. Park.
I would absolutely recommend this office to my friends(i already have). dr. Park is so nice and he makes you feel very comfortable and is very knowledgable. The staff was amazing in the bayport office. I was terrified to have a procedure done and the staff made me feel so much better. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!
Great experience! Dr. Park helped me a lot with my TMJ, where most oral surgeons were unable to. He knows much about the field and is genuinely interested in helping out his patients. Wonderful, wonderful!
dr. park is an extremely gentle doctor with true passion about his job. he has a way of making you feel relaxed and at ease before he begins with procedures. if you are not comfortable with certain things he reassures you that everything will be okay during the consultation. the prices are very reasonable considering i have searched around and almost all oral surgeons have the same price. also, the staff is really nice and professional there. the office is clean (which is definitely a plus) (i went to the bayport office) the wait wasnt long. all and all, i would definitely not mind going back again, i had no pain at all. afterwards you'll experience discomfort but not a bad experience at all. i definitely recommend him!

Vehicles with Safety & Quality Ratings
The 2015 Toyota RAV4 offers very good interior materials and ergonomics, and we especially like the Entune infotainment system and the standard rearview camera. However, while the RAV4 remains a top seller, other compact crossover SUVs have surpassed it in some key areas. Fuel economy, while good, is bested by competitors like the Mazda CX-5, the all-wheel-drive Subaru Forester, and the RAV's longtime rival, the Honda CR-V. With the introduction of this generation, Toyota dropped the available V6, putting the RAV4 at a power disadvantage against the Subaru Forester and Ford Escape, both of which offer turbocharged engines with significantly more power, and are more fun to drive in general.

zebra Who's Behind the Door Lyrics

and then we slipped away
We looked so hard
But couldn't seem to find just what
the world was for
Now we know
Just what the journey's for
Looking out to the stars
Think about what you are
What do they think of you
Animals in their zoo
They haven't got the time
Landing's not on their minds
How do they have the nerve
We're animals in preserve
They watch us all
They're only making sure that we
don't trip and fall
Now they look so hard
But they can't tell us why they're
here and just what for
Because they don't know
Who opened up the door
How can we find out more
Who owns the keyless door
Where does the circle end
Who are the unwatched men
Where do we go from here
Faith is a fading fear
Life is a waiting room
I hope they don't call me soon
How much more do you really
think you know than a flower
does about who's behind the door!

Corvallis 104.3 FM • Hood River 91.9 FM • Portland 90.7 FM
May 1, 2009 marks the 123rd anniversary of a rally for the eight-hour day in Chicago's Haymarket Square that ended with a police riot that left over a dozen dead. The political trial and hanging of four anarchists that followed sparked protests around the world and the designation by the Second International of May 1 as International Workers' Day, more commonly known as May Day. But does commemoration of a 19th century incident have relevance for people in the 21st century? Does demonstrating on May Day have meaning for you?

Some sketches are from my head, otheres are from refrace from a drawing book.

My parents bought me the Elna 664 as a gift. (Yay me!)
They say I can upgrade to the PRO model for and extra approx $150, but I want to know if it is worth it. (Since I'll have to fork out for the upgrade)
While both models include:
� Instant rolled hem device
� Self-threading lower looper
� Maximum speed of 1300 rpm
� Color-coded threading routes
� Cutting blade
� Adjustable foot pressure
� Snap-on presser feet
� Telescopic thread antenna system
� Electronic foot control
� Exclusive Elna accessory box
� Dust cover
The PRO version has these additional features:
� Built-in program reference panel
� Automatic tension release
� Built-in 2-thread converter
� Tilting needle clamp
� Front cover safety system
� Pre-tension slider ( 3/4 - 2 thread )
� Waste tray included
I realise that these things are hugely subjective, but is there any reason why I'd need to upgrade to the PRO version?
Besides the program reference panel and the tilting needle clamp, is there anything that I should be aware of that makes the PRO version that much better?
I also need to go for lessons, and I'll be able to compare the two then, but my summertime social calendar is preventing me from getting to lessons for the next three weeks. So I thought I'd ask you ladies for input.
I sell both these machines at the store I work at. To me the "Biggies" with the Pro are: the tilting needle clamp, the ability to do 2-3-4 threads. It does have that "advisor" on the front that suggests what settings etc to use but it does not set them for you-you must do it yourself.
To me, the biggest factor would be in deciding if you will use the 2 thread feature. The Pro can do 2 thread plus everything else the 664 can. I use the 2 thread when I stitch on elastic before I coverstitch it down. Less thread=less bulky-ness. Also for 2 thread rolled hems on fabrics where you do not want as much body in the hem.
I would go get the Pro-because you will have the 2 thread there is you need it and get the bonus of the tension adjuster and the tilting needle clamp--which I find VERY helpful!

Thanks Mrs Moos, that's exactly the sort of info I need!
A feature applied to a practical application.
It's not very helpful when the sales lady can't really tell you why you need the feature.

Re: Breaking Bad - Season 5
I recall a scene he had with Flynn some time ago, after he got his face smashed in. He told a story about his own father. The gist of it was that Walt didn't want Flynn to look poorly upon him. It doesn't matter to him that Flynn be ok. It only matters that he be looked at the way he wants to be looked at
It has always been about the fact that Walt was nothing to himself, & because he had responsibilities, he just lived with it, until his life was notably coming to an end, & that's when he had no reason to ever live like that again
What Walt is & has always been is an egotist of the grandest order, & in the face of his own mortality, he chose to become the most self serving he could possibly manage, by any means necessary. It's actually not unusual for people facing death to chose to live like they have nothing left to lose
It's always been about Walt becoming the everything he thinks he deserves, & to hell with anything or anyone that stands in the way of that. We may have had that development unfold slowly, dramatically speaking, but he decided it the very day he decided to become a meth cook, & it's been nothing but carnage & the destruction of everything around him to serve that goal, ever since
Sure it may have seemed like all he wanted was a quick buck, because death was knocking at his door, but he's a smart guy. I bet if he put his mind to it, he could have just stole some money. Instead, he chose to forge a business of not just cooking meth, but cooking the best damn meth ever. His meth, his business, his universe, where what he thinks, feels, & wants is all that matters, because by his way of thinking, what he thinks, feels, & wants has never mattered to anybody in his whole pathetic life, regardless of whether that's true or not
Ironically the worst thing that could ever happen to Walt is to be forgotten, or treated as insignificant. Something like little Holly never knowing a damn thing about her father is his worst penance, or someday when he's gone, the name Heisenberg will be forgotten
He's probably going to realize that all he's leaving behind to reflect his presence on this planet, is damage
What is a selfish child, who when they lose the game, they trash the board. The game is Walt's life & the board is everything & everyone in it

Re: Breaking Bad - Season 5
Walt's meth dealing is, and always was, really all about Walt. I can empathize to a point. He felt like a weakling, that he'd been walked over. I get treated like shit at my job, too, by my boss and I had this huge woman scream at me in the grocery parking lot just tonight after I worked all day when she thought I'd cut her off.
"Get out of the way, you fat fucking bitch!" she screams as her friends just laugh. I wanted to kill her. I contemplated following her in the parking lot and slamming on my brakes to scare her that I'd run into her, but it was dark and she looked like some gang banger's girlfriend, so I thought better of it, flipped her off and left. I understand the impulse to want to lash out in a huge way when you feel so disrespected, but I came back down to Earth. Walt never came back down to Earth. He lives the fantasy. He probably would have stocked the Albertson's parking lot and blown up her car when she was inside.
In the real world, that would have consequences. Building a meth empire to get even with the world is a little over the top.

Re: Breaking Bad - Season 5
Emillio (Gased in self defense)
Crazy 8 (Self defense as Walter was going to let him go but he was attacked)
Tuco's guy (was killed by Tuco but maybe still alive if they were not making the deal with Walter and Jesse int he junk yard)
Gonzo (an accident yes, but would not happen if the above guy was not killed)
Tuco (shot by Jesser, but finished off by Hank, would not happened if Walter was not around)
The Cousins (killed by Hank, but would not be in the US if it were not for Walter in the first place)
The people the cousins killed on their way to the U.S. This includes the border patrol guy, the truck full mexicans and the guy in the parking lot that was shot when they went after Hank.
The Cartel Guy (shot by the Mexican police after the cousins attacked Hank)
Combo (Jesse's friend and dealer shot by the kid, Combo was dealing drugs because of Jesse who learned from Walter)
Jane (Walter did not save her when she she OD's (and could have), but also she would not have got with Jesse and started using heroin if Jesse never cooked with Walter)
The Plane Victims 170 plus? (this is sort of a stretch but really if Jane did not die her dad would not have fucked up the flight paths, so safe to say, it was still an indirect action of Walter. Also, I believe that Jane's dad commited suicide also, as a result)
Kid who shot Combo (killed by the 2 drug dealers below)
The Two Drug Dealers (this was the first time Walter intentional killed people, ran over them then shot one in the head)
Gale (Jesse's first direct kill, ordered by Walter. )
Victor (Killed by Gus as a result of Walt and Jesse's actions)
Truck Crew and Sniper victim (killed by the cartel guy but only because of the war with Gus, because of the cousins getting killed, and thus Walter)
The Mexican Cartel ( a bunch of victims poisoned by Gus, but again because of the war they were having. True, Gus had his own motivations going back several years, but because of Walter and Jesse's actions he had a chance to take them all out)
Gus (bombed)
Hector (set off the bomb given by Walter)
Tyrus (Bombed)
2 Gus Henchmen in the Lab (shot by Walter then burned up in the fire)
Chang and the Hitman ( Lydia put a hit on Mike's men, the hit man only got Chang then Mike took out the hitman, would not have happened if Walter did not kill Gus)
Kid on the Dirtbike (killed by Todd becuse of Walter, Jesse's and Mike's actions)
Notable mention, not dead but...
Brock (got poisoned by Walter, is better now)
Ted Benke ( injured head and spine, would not of happned if Skylar was ot laundering Walters money)
Hank (shot and paralized for a little while, still limps)
One death that was not Walters fault was the turtle guy, he was killed because he was talking to the DEA, nothing to do with Walter.
Thats a lot of death as a result of Walter's decision to make Meth! there is probably a lot more we don't now about, for instance Junkie's who may have died as a result of Walter's Meth

It works.
The Fluoro wax is excellent for preventing snow from sticking to your cross-country skis when you are skiing on a sunny day in the mountains or anytime when the snow would stick. It is best to apply it before you start skiing, but you may need to reapply it several times during the day depending on conditions.

Rush Limbaugh has called Dede Scozzafava a "pretender" and an "extreme liberal Republican" who "might as well be a Democrat."
And cancer, deceiver, pretender, coward; it cannot even subsist without the vibrant people it depends on.
All was jolly and genial between the king of late night and the pretender to the throne.
Yet with little or no means I tried to bring this pretender to justice and defend his Majesty's throne.
He has an air, it is true, but his air is not a breeze, like the air of a pretender to fashion.
Hearing the trumpet, the pretender hastened along the passage that led to the court.
The moment might be propitious to the pretender, however false his claim.
The pretender's troops landed at Deal only to be seized by the country folk and hanged as pirates.
A particular account of the "pretender's Magazine" is extant.
The pretender wheeled suddenly on the calm gentleman sitting indolently in his chair.
1590s, "one who intends;" 1620s as "one who puts forth a claim;" agent noun from pretend (v.). Specifically of a claimant to the English throne from 1690s.

Isla Fisher has written a new comedy movie named 'Groupies', which will star herself and Amy Poehler.
Isla Fisher, the Scottish-Australian actress and star of 'Wedding Crashers' has penned the script for the upcoming comedy movie, 'Groupies', reports Ctv News.Fisher, who voices a character in the new Johnny Depp animated movie 'Rango', says she wrote 'Groupies' to give herself the chance to play a strong comedy role. When asked about the current status of the script, Fisher said, "Oh you mean 'Groupies'? After Wedding Crashers I was just surprised as to the lack of comedic female material there is. So I had to start working and getting stuff out there for myself". The 35-year-old, who is married to 'Borat' creator Sacha Baron Cohen, says the movie should hit cinemas in the near future, adding, "Groupies is pretty close to being ready and I've got another movie called Life Coach which I've been working on. Hopefully one of them will go soon. It's more frustrating being in development than it is just to be cast in something". Fisher met English comedian Cohen at a party in Australia back in 2002. They became engaged two years later and married in Paris last year after Fisher had converted to Judaism.
Isla Fisher says fellow comedic actor Amy Poehler will play a rock groupie in the new movie and that the pair will also act as co-executive producers.

The Caps' struggles with penalties and third-period collapses continued in their 3-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night. Here's a look inside the box score:
What it means: The Capitals are now 1-5-1 and dropped to 15th in the Eastern Conference standings, one point behind the Panthers and five behind the eighth-place Penguins.
Penalty trouble: The Caps took eight minor penalties and have been shorthanded 38 times in seven games. That not only disrupts the flow of 5-on-5 play, it keeps Alex Ovechkin on the bench. Troy Brouwer leads the Caps with five minor penalties, followed by Jason Chimera and Mathieu Perreault with four each.
Third period collapses: The Caps have blown one-goal leads in the third period of each of their last two losses and have been outscored 8-5 in third periods this season. That could be the result of all the wasted energy killing penalties or a sign of poor conditioning.
Stifling Ovi: Alex Ovechkin picked up another power-play goal on Thursday night, but because of all the penalties he saw limited ice time in the first two periods as the Caps played more than 12 minutes shorthanded. Ovechkin did not see any time on the penalty kill and played most of the game at left wing. That means seven games into the season Oates has abandoned two of his biggest experiments with Ovechkin: playing him on the right side and asking him to kill penalties. Meanwhile, Ovechkin is still seeking his first even-strength goal of the season.
Quoting Ovi: "We got too many penalties right away. Lots of the guys sitting on the bench were cold. You want to be out there as much as you can. ... In the second period [we had] the kind of situations where we [were shorthanded] and I'm sitting and I was kind of not in the game. But again it's all about us; we took stupid penalties – everybody has to do their jobs and play hockey."
Erskine watch: Defenseman John Erskine has been quite a revelation since entering the lineup. He delivered a team-high three hits and blocked four shots and was even on the plus-minus sheet in just under 18 minutes of work. Against the Leafs. Conversely, Jeff Schultz struggled in his 13:22 of ice time, finishing a minus-2 and recording just one block while playing alongside rookie Tomas Kundratek. With that in mind, look for Roman Hamrlik to replace Schultz in the lineup when the Caps face the Flyers tonight.
MoJo watch: Marcus Johansson showed bursts of speed against the Leafs after returning to the lineup following a two-game benching. Johansson finished a minus-1 and did not record a shot but looked far more effective in the offensive zone as a center.
Holtby return?: Michal Neuvirth played well in his fifth straight start, stopping 37 of 40 shots to keep the Caps in the game. But he allowed a Michael Kostka point shot to trickle between his pads, allowing Nikolai Kulemin to score the game-tying goal in the third period. With three games in four days, it will be interesting to see if Oates turns to Braden Holtby tonight against Philly.
Look ahead: Following tonight's game against the 2-5-0 Flyers the Caps are expected to practice Saturday in preparation for Sunday's 12:30 showdown against Sidney Crosby and the 4-3-0 Penguins.

Members of the Edwards Collective:
- Attend a weekly dinner with other Collective participants, to talk with local artists and Lewis Center faculty and discuss works in progress.
- Receive informal guidance from Resident Graduate Students with expertise in the arts and humanities, who will live in an apartment suite nearby, hosting weekly "study breaks."
- Join in trips over Fall and/or Spring Break to arts-related destinations of the residents' choosing, including retreats to work on individual projects.
- Plan and attend trips to arts events, such as musical or dramatic performances, readings, and galleries.

About MeHello! My name is Kate Peltola! I am an experienced model looking to expand my portfolio and experience on worthy shoots and opportunities! I have been modeling professionally for 3 years with focus on fashion, editorial, beauty, lifestyle, and runway. I am also a trained dancer with 15 years of training in ballet, jazz, tap, musical theater, hip hop, lyrical, contemporary and belly dancing as well as some tumbling and aerial silk/acrobatic skills. Also, I have been acting and singing in the theater as well as film for 10 years. I truly feel that my background in the performing arts is what makes me such a versatile and talented model. My dance training allows me to be aware of my body position and able to perform any pose, not being held back by inflexibility. I have learned how to control my facial expressions and specifically portray various emotions due to my vast acting training and experience. I believe in being a true artist in every sense of the word by being part art and part artist. I continue to train in all types of art to diversify my talent and keep my talent ever growing. I am a positive, bubbly, energetic, imaginative, vivacious, and lively spirit and enjoy life. I like surrounding myself with positive, professional, creative people. My determination and dedication will propel my future to new heights and I look forward to possibly sharing a little piece of my art with you. :)
I DO NOT DO NUDES. Just please don't even try. I won't respond. If I get the feeling that you are only here to take pictures of naked girls, I will ignore you. So please for the sake of art, BE RESPECTFUL! :)
If you would like to know my rates and book something with me please private message me on here or email at email@example.com
Thanks :)

Hello, my blog is http://www.prairiepariah.com/ and the page I need help with is http://www.prairiepariah.com/gallery
What I'm trying to achieve is something similar to what John Dyer Baizley's gallery section is like: http://aperfectmonster.com/gallery/
where he has a static page and images that link to other pages.
I'm new with wordpress so I'm trying to figure out how to do this. Here is what I DON'T want:
Pages listed in sidebar (as with a custom menu)
Pages listed in top menu bar
Pages listed as drop down tabs in menu bar (under Gallery)
I've played around with all of these options and wasn't happy with the results. I just want that nice static page that links an image or text to another page without all the redundancy. I'm assuming this is a simple solution but I need fresh eyes with this one! Keep in mind that my knowledge of coding is very limited. I looked here already: http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ but I don't think they have what I want?
Just to clarify, I am using a child theme with Twentyeleven.
Sorry if this is a repeated post. I couldn't find what I was looking for in the wordpress forums.

The Brittany region
Douarnenez is a haven for sailors and fishermen and enjoys a mild climate.This area of Brittany is known as Cornouaille, whose capital is Quimper, a bustling thriving town. The coastline can be quite dramatic,La Torche being the rendevous for surfers whereas Cap Sizun provides a wild and magnificent setting for rare birds.
Pointe de Raz is a rocky promontary at the tip of Cornouille, now heavily protected as part of France's national heritage. From Douarnenez you are perfectly positioned to visit the lovely coastal towns of Benodet, and Pont L'abbe, as well as exploring the inland city of Quimper and charming villages such as Locronan only a few minutes drive away. Brittany has strong identity in terms of culture, peoples ' landscape and history. It has dramatic coast, white surf beaches and sheltered white sandy beaches. There is sparse heathland and dense forest, medieval ports and abundant seafood. It is the ideal place for a family holiday.
The house overlooks the Bay of Douarnenez, Plage de Trezmalaouen a 3 km stretch of sand , being a 8 minute walk away. This is a popular beach for beginner surfers, before attempting the big waves at La Torche or Bai des Trepasse 30 minutes away ! The house is privateand peaceful situated at the end of a lane so there is no through traffic, yet the town of Douarnenez is only 4km away. Douarnenez can be divided into 3 parts- the Old Port , the main town and Port Rhu , where there is a maritime Museum.
This is a popular area for sailing and Douarnenez has a strong history of fishing, being particularly famous for sardines ! Across the river is Treboul, once part of Douarnenez, where there are sandy beaches , a Spa , Thalassothermie, daily fish markets and twice weekly markets brimming with local produce- vegetables and fruit, seafood, oysters and the wonderful spider crabs ! At Treboul there are tennis courts and an indoor court close to the pretty beach Les Sables Blancs. Treboul has a sailing club and scuba diving school , and various cafes and restaurants bordering the marina. There is an abundance of good restaurants both in the town and in the neighbouring small towns and villages. The well known 'petit cite de characteur' , Locronan is a short drive away, its cobbled streets lined with prettty shops and restaurants.
Twenty minutes drive will take you to the capital of Finistere, Quimper, a pretty large town with a busy daily market and many interesting shops and restaurants as well as old churches and characterful streets.
This area has a huge amount to offer for day trips- Pointe de Raz with its dramatic coastline, Benodet, famous for its marina and sailing, Pont L'abbe and much more. The area is quite unspoilt with a marked lack of large hotels and commercial buildings and here one can really experience true Breton life .

"A stunning, salubrious retreat for that well-earned holiday and/or celebration"
It was my 60th but, in truth, it could have been for any special family occasion. There were ten of us, six adults and four children, and the house was excellent, very well prepared/appointed/equipped etc - so spacious that we were never under anyone's feet, while close enough to be intimate in the family sense. Most of us knew the Douarnenez area but recent skiing and summer holidays have taken us much farther south (especially the Vendée) in recent years. Yet this short break, out of season, made us fall in love with Brittany all over again - it is, of course, so similar to our beloved homes in Cornwall after all. Douarnenez town may be a tad disappointing out of season (its summer hive of port/ports, sailing, boating and fishing activity, for us, is the main draw) but the nearby beaches are superb (at any time of the year) and close by places like Quimper, Locronan, Giulvenic, Concarneau, Pont l'Abbe, Benodet, Audienne et al are lovely and superb whatever the date or weather. We love the Vendée but we have fallen in love again with Brittany - and that, in no small part, is because of this homely, welcoming retreat, salubriously maintained by Vicky and Phil W and brought to life, on our arrival, by the delightful Karene. We cannot recommend this place/area enough. We went for a party but this homely abode is a celebration for all seasons and occasions. Enjoy!

"A perfect retreat"
This is a fantastic house if you want to get away from the crowds, but still have local amenities not too far away. As the property is at the end of a private road it is very quiet, apart from the sound of wildlife and the waves crashing on the shore. The views from the balcony are wonderful and it is just a short walk to the coast, with fantastic views from the coastal path. The house is very well equipped and the snooker table provided added entertainment, although sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine, watching the sun go down, was hard to beat. The owner, Vicky, was very helpful, as was Geraldine the housekeeper who gave us a warm welcome. We would definitely stay here again if we decide to holiday in this area. We have stayed in many houses in Brittany, but this was the best so far!
Thank you very much for your review. I am delighted you enjoyed your holiday here . It is always nice to hear that guests love it as much as we do ! I hope you may visit again . Vicky

"Top notch self-catering in beautiful setting"
Have just returned from a week away here - eight members of family from three generations - and had a wonderful time. The house is beautiful, built into the hillside overlooking Douarnenez Bay, extremely well-equipped and comfortable. The basement containing a twin bedroom and large separate lounge including pool table, tv,dvd, wireless broadband was perfect for our teenagers, and other rooms very comfortable - beds are great and most rooms have a sea view. Beautifully designed, fab balcony leading off main lounge (coffee a.m, wine p.m!), plenty of parking and enough room for eight people to spread out and have a little down time if needed! Highly recommended. If you haven't been to this part of Brittany, go - and stay here!

"Enjoy with a capital E"
A wonderfull house with "a room with a view" over the ocean! Sitting on the balcony - hearing the ocean - looking at the waves - you feel like a king and queen!
