Barbaig: making goatskin dress
In the afternoon the women gave away a demo tailoring goatskin dress. They were amazingly skilled. It takes a lot of drying, preparing, cutting, sewing and decorating before a living goat becomes such a beautiful dress. It's also very valuable as she told me that she can make $50 from a finished dress.
Inbetween we had a pleasant 2-way conversation in which the women wondered how the cows looked like in Holland, if we had also goats and if we also used their skins for making dresses.
The bikes were repaired and the sun was not so sharp anymore. Time to go back. It had been a pleasant and interesting day!
Barbaig: siësta time
While his women were busy getting water , milking cows or pounding maize, the teacher was having his siësta while listening to a small radio. I was playing a bit with the kids -if I wanted or not- but it was fun..
The most exiting -and actually the only- thing that happened was when a bunch of young cows ran inside the boma straight in the house of one of the women. She shouted something to the kids who joined in the action and kicked the calfs outside. hm..very interesting.

Barbaig: watch the kids play
After the walking "tour" we returned to the first boma to eat our (prepacked) lunch in the man's dwelling. Hamade -my guide- left to have the tyres of the bikes repaired.
I took a 3 legged stool, placed it outside in the shadow and the many children of the 2 wives approached me carefully and later surrounded me.
I found it amazing to see the simple toys the kids were enjoying. A girl ran after a tyreless wheel, a small boy enjoyed walking with a paper ambulance and two young teenage boys were having fun with a selfmade instrument from a piece of wood that made a whistling sound!

- Backpacking
- Eco-Tourism
Barbaig: learn about traditions
We continued our walk and visited some boma's to meet and talk to the people living there about traditions.
Besides some innocent traditions like giving dowry's to the father-in-laws, the Barbaig also upkeep more controversial traditions like arranged (i.e. forced) marriage, circumcision for 12yo girls, worshipping ancestors and practicing animism, although the Tanzanian gov and NGO's are pushing them hard to change.
Concerning the genital mutilation of girls is said that the Barbaig do understand the opposition but the tradition is so deeply rooted that they believe their ancestors will punish them if they change and it will affect their reproductive health.
After a while, a neighbour came in to give an enjoyable little show in a more accepted tradition - fighting with sticks, spears and arrows/bow....!

- Backpacking
- Eco-Tourism
Barbaig: learn about developments
We went out for a walk around the spread out settlement. Although the Barbaig are semi-nomadic and self sufficient, the Tanzanian government put a lot of efforts in developing the area.
We visited the primary school that is expanding enormously since most children go to school nowadays. The profits from the Tour are partly used for this purpose. Even in recent years it was very uncommon for the children -especially the girls who had to assist their mother who is responsible for working- to go to school.
After that we visited a dispensary, that had a small fridge in use for storing vaccines and medicine against malaria -with AIDS the most common serious illness. It employed also a doctor specialised in delivering women, something very useful since quite a lot of women have dangerous complications due to circumcision.
A big change from the herbs of the local medicine man or the rituals of the witch doctor!

Women in goatskin clothes
We parked the bikes near a boma -an enclosure made from cut thorn bushes to protect against wild animals - that consisted of 3 houses made of sticks and mud and with a dozen of cows within it's compound.
It was the property of a schoolteacher in his mid fifties and his 2 wives, one of whom was very young. One of them welcomed us and went inside, apparently to change her clothes.
For the brochure promised that these people would wear traditional goatskin clothes!Times are changing, even many Barbaig women prefer working in cotton t-shirts to goatskin nowadays :-)
The valuable goatskins are mainly worn for ceremonies and celebrations.

Cycling the countryside
In the village of Katesh, situated about 2,5 hrs. by local bus from Babati, we rented bicycles for the 16km / 2 hour ride to the settlement of Dirma.
The area around Katesh is a little hilly, some of it cultivated. Spectacular Mt. Hanang dominates the views on the horizon.
Since the roads are not sealed and given the presence of thorn bush along the trails, you look foolish if you don't bring a pump on the carrier ;-).
Anyway, it's an excellent way to see the countryside and meet it's inhabitants.

Babati- Cultural Tourism Program
On arrival in Babati a kind man I met in the bus guided me to the only proper hotel in the little town and then to Mr. Kahembe, coordinator of the program. Nobody there.
I went back to my room and fell asleep, but not for long as someone knocked on my door. A young man -the local guide Hamade- told me to meet Mr. Kahembe at 6pm.
I fell asleep again and woke up shortly after, I dressed myself to see what was going on. At the back of the hotel was a Salvation church, people were dancing all around, chanting and singing; others lying and crying on the floor. I was astonished and stayed until the end!
Afterwards we shook hands and had a chat, so that I arrived late at Mr. Kahembe's, but of course he was still waiting. Visitors don't arrive here every week. We discussed my wishes and decided to leave the next morning to Katesh, Hamade (the guide) and I.
The trip:
day 1: transfer to Katesh, 2 hours by local bus;
day 2: daytrip to Barbaig settlement by bicycle;
day 3: climbing the Mt. Hanang (3417 m.).
day 4: transfer back to Babati;
Food and acc. in local guesthouse.
All inclusive price $85,-- which made it the most expensive cultural program trip I took.

Dr Cathy LeeObstetricians & Gynaecologists Wahroonga, NSW
Cathy Lee is an extremely knowledgeable, dedicated and caring obstetrician, an expert in her field and a doctor I could not recommend more highly. Over the past three years she has skilfully guided my husband and I through the pregnancy and births of both our boys with thoroughness and warmth, and I have missed regular visits to her office since having our second child.
From the very beginning, Cathy impressed us with the her vast experience and the depth of her knowledge, being able to answer the wide range of questions we asked relating to pregnancy and birth. Her dedication to her patients and her profession was evident at every appointment, she always displayed genuine enthusiasm during routine checkups and scans of our babies.
Cathy made herself available at all hours of the day and night, on any day of the week via phone, and made time in her day at short notice for an extra appointment when we had concerns, which was very comforting and reassuring.
Cathy's exceptional skills as a surgeon were displayed in the cesarean deliveries she performed for both births, she put us at ease with her warmth and calm professionalism which made the arrival of our boys a wonderful and happy experience. She visited every day while we were in hospital, holding my hand and chatting about all aspects of the birth and recovery, and I would not hesitate to contact her again in the future.

A new semester begins, and the smiling faces of so many students melts my heart. It's the questions they'll ask. It's the goals they share. It's the triumphs one reads about, and the heartache. It's knowing that they are working 40 + hours a week, doing homework, being parents…and dreaming. Of a better life, a better job, a better command of written communication.
And I get to be a part of that, all of it.
As I said, their faces, their eager, smiling, stoic or goofy faces just melt my heart. It's like looking at kindergarten pictures that friends post on Facebook: I see the joy and the "here's my best face for school and for the camera" look in their eyes. Doesn't matter that they are 18 or 28 or 58. That desire to learn, that willingness to be cracked open to new concepts and filled with knowledge is there. And I love it.
Tonight, this is why I'm part of Higher Education. This is why I'm part of SNHU.

Pushing branches and tags with a single "git push" invocation
With recent versions of Git you can do this with
git push --follow-tags.
See also
Older notes
Normally pushing branches and tags is a two step process:
$ git push $ git push --tags
A handy tip was just posted to the Git mailing list by Zoltán Füzesi:
I use
.git/configto solve this:[remote "origin"] url = ... fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* push = +refs/heads/* push = +refs/tags/*
With these lines added
git push originwill upload all your branches and tags. If you want to upload only some of them, you can enumerate them.
Haven't tried it myself yet, but it looks like it might be useful until some other way of pushing branches and tags at the same time is added to
git push. On the other hand, I don't mind typing:
$ git push && git push --tags
Just in case anyone runs across this and has the same problem that I had - note that
push = +refs/heads/*
is a FORCED branch push (never really a good idea to have as a default push setting)
I don't like this. I think it is a bad idea to ALWAYS have tag pushing turned on.
Greg Hurrell
Updated with more recent information about
Besides that
--follow-tagsdoesn't work.
Greg Hurrell
--follow-tagsdefinitely works; I used it repeatedly today, for instance.
What exactly isn't working about it for you? Are you using a recent version of Git? How are your remotes configured?

New Big East has big TV deal with Fox
TribLIVE Sports Videos
NEW YORK — The breakaway basketball schools kept the Big East name and the conference tournament in Madison Square Garden. In return, they left behind tens of millions of dollars to the football members.
That was easy to do with a lucrative television contract awaiting.
The new Big East launched as a 10-member league Wednesday with the additions of Butler, Creighton and Xavier and a 12-year deal with Fox. The agreement is worth about $500 million with the possibility of increasing to $600 million were the league to add more members according to a person with knowledge of the details.
The so-called Catholic 7 schools will start play with their three new colleagues in the fall.
Providence's president, the Rev. Brian Shanley, was a student at the college when its athletic director, Dave Gavitt, spearheaded the creation of the Big East in 1979. The conference's name was proposed by his father's marketing firm.
"This name is bold. This name is strong. This name is memorable," Shanley said. "That's why it's been important for us to keep that name and keep that legacy going."
When the Catholic 7 decided to leave in December, they didn't have a TV deal yet, but they had a sense the market was strong, said Georgetown president John DeGioia. After they started to talk to Fox in January, they knew they could bring in plenty of revenue as they negotiated their exit from the old Big East.

Angie is a Mom again
Like us on Facebook
And I'm not referring to the recent pregnancy rumors. People reports she adopted a second child. This time she has a new daughter named, Zahara. The little girl is from Ethiopia and things should be finalized Wednesday. Congrats to Angelina (and Brad all thought officially he has nothing to do with this).

Why the Retention?
PerkinElmer released its results for the fourth quarter 2012
on Jan 31. The company posted adjusted earnings of 65 cents per
share, meeting the Zacks Consensus Estimate and surpassing the
year-ago earnings of 62 cents a share. Revenues in the reported
quarter increased 6.2% year over year to $572.9 million, missing
the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $580 million.
Over the past 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2013
has moved down by a penny to $2.30 while the same for 2014 has
dropped by 3 cents to $2.58 during the same timeframe.
The company forecasts adjusted earnings per share for 2013 in
the range of $2.24 to $2.32. Reported earnings per share from
continuing operations are forecast in the range of $1.57 to
$1.65. Organic revenue is expected to increase in the mid-single

The company continues to execute well across several product

PerkinElmer's transfer of select manufacturing to China has

You are welcome- glad to help. Two cemeteries cause confusion. Forest Hill & Calvary Cemetery are adjacent to each other and managed by the same firm. Forest Hill is by far the larger of the two and I think the Funeral Homes, just print "Forest Hill" and don't take the time to get it right.

Heidi Hill is not a patient, but she plays one on TV.
Actually, the nursing supervisor of the Regional Medical Clinic arm of Grand Ronde Hospital is not on TV, but rather on video camera while seated on an exam table.
The doctor in front of her is slim -- quite -- and short. Clad in the traditional white of medicine, he sports accents of stainless steel.
This health-care provider, known as the "RP Lite" model, happens to be a robot of sorts and is plugged into the hospital's wall in La Grande. At the moment, it is transmitting Hill's image to Dr. Francesco D'Alessandro, seated in his office at Walla Walla Clinic, some 87 miles away.
It's called telemedicine and it's good news in rural America, experts say. In this particular case, the robot "doctor" is part of the La Grande hospital's efforts to bring to its patients specialized medicine not available in the area.
The system also allows people to stay at their home hospital, decreasing the number of transfers to larger medical centers, noted Jennifer Neisse with In Touch Health, the company that sold the Remote Presence technology to the hospital and the clinic.
"That benefits patients and their family greatly. It leads to better recovery time and decrease in cost."
The hospital has been recognized nationally for its work in improving rural medicine, according to its website.
The technology built into RP -- "Remote Presence" -- allows for video, audio and magnified still pictures to be beamed to the Tietan Street facility. The built-in cameras can pan the room, zoom in and precisely focus.
Since late summer, Walla Walla Clinic has partnered in bringing the future to that rural and sometimes isolated area of Oregon, said Craig Dreher, Chief Information Officer for the company.
The patients getting their dermatology needs met through the futuristic method are the same people who were once forced to drive nearly two hours one way to see a Walla Walla Clinic specialist for routine visits, he said.
Not so fun in winter weather, especially when coming down the infamous Cabbage Hill that drops travelers off Deadman Pass in the Blue Mountains into the Pendleton area.
But is being seen by a robot better than battling ice-covered roads?
Absolutely, agree Hill, Dreher and Doug Romer, the hospital's executive director of patient care services.
Making a dermatology appointment with RP is not really like meeting with R2-D2, they insist. Since the robot's "head" is a computer monitor, showing a life-sized image of D'Alessandro's face, patients quickly forget the Walla Walla Clinic physician is not right there with them in the room.
"It's just like having a doctor right in front of me," Hill said to the group watching on the Walla Walla end of things. "Patients tell us they actually pay more attention to the doctor this way."
And vise versa, Dreher pointed out. "The doctor is not, for example, tending to his laptop. And the patient does not recognize whatever else the doctor is doing ... maybe referencing a source or writing a prescription."
For the concept to work, the experience has to feel "real," Dreher said. "With that said, 'real' has a new definition."
A nurse from Grand Ronde stays with the patient during a visit and can take any high-resolution picture that are needed. On his end, D'Alessandro or another specialist can use a split screen on RP's monitor to show the patient a picture of what he is concerned about.
On this day, Hill is demonstrating a skin lesion, which is actually an ordinary mole in its day job.
Wearing head phones and a microphone to communicate, D'Alessandro zooms the robot's camera to the skin spot, via a small joystick mounted on the edge of his desk. The image transmitted back to him is sharp enough to count the lines of webbing in Hill's skin.
D'Alessandro asks the nurse on hand to photograph and describe the characteristics of the lesion. "Can you measure this mole here," he asked, running his computer's cursor over the picture.
Over the mountains, Hill and her crew see the same 18-megapixel image and know exactly what the dermatologist is viewing.
If Hill was truly a patient, and her mole truly a lesion, D'Alessandro would very likely have all the information he needed to diagnose the lesion and prescribe a course of treatment. Any lab work required can be done at the hospital.
After which, the patient would leave and go about her day in La Grande, while the physician would rise from his desk and go see his next patient.
No snow chains required.

I checked out the videos on youtube of the Nike Free Replicas. You can get them really cheap from different web sites. The videos on youtube show excellent quality and no difference at all. Just wondering if any of you are using these or run in them etc. I have my eyes on some Nike Free Run 5.0 and 3.0. They are only around $50 for each.
You get exactly what you pay for when you buy counterfeit merchandise.
Nike makes the worst running shoes on the planet. Why would you want to waste money an an even more worthless product?
2015 Goal. Be a bigger Beast
Thanks for the input guys. Connor1226 I don't believe Nike makes the worse shoes what so ever. I think Nike Free fits my feet better than any shoe I have ever had. Also I have been running in the same pair of Nike Free plus 5.0 for over 4 years I know and they are still going strong! Nike may not be good for you but that doesn't mean they aren't good for someone else.
I wouldn't buy knock offs...I would go for the real deal, if you want Nike Free's buy the Nike Free's. The knock offs are cheaper b/c they made cheaply and may end up causing more issues or injury due to them not being made of higher quality shoes.
I DEF. get where you're coming from. As someone who can only wear Mizuno's, I would LOVE to find them cheaper!
Support the manufacturers that support our sport.
If you want shoes for $50 check out the sale table at your LRS.
PR's- 5k 22:23, 10k 50:18 (my 1st), HM 1:58:22 (my 1st)
Gotta agree. As someone who has had his hard work stolen and posted for free on the internet, I can't support buying knockoffs. If you think a company's product is overpriced, tell them by purchasing from someone else who is reputable, not supporting illegal commerce.
And usually you can find shoes much cheaper just by being on the lookout for sales and by being okay with owning the prior model of the shoes, that are usually sold at a discounted price. I've purchased 6 pairs of running shoes in the past year and a half and I didn't come close to paying full MSRP on any of them. Some I got for half of their MSRP price. But they are all good, high-quality shoes made my reputable companies...
Nothing witty or clever to put here….
I haven't tried counterfeit shoes but other counterfeit items I have purchased overseas have not had the same quality.
Thanks for the advice gang. I agree with all of you. Also I would imagine the shoes would be of very low quality. It doesn't hurt either to pay full value for the Nike Free especially if I get 4 years of wear like my current pair has lasted and they are still going strong.
There are two things I simply refuse to cheap out on. Shoes (running, work or otherwise) and tires. You get what you pay for and subpar quality for either of those could really cause problems. All IMHO of course.
These types of things were readily available when I was deployed overseas. North Face, Oakley, Nike, you could find just about everything. I'm not sure where these websites are getting their stuff, but at the Hadji-stores on the base you were never really sure if you were getting fake or something legit that "fell off a truck" somewhere, although most of it was the fake stuff. Quality was a crap shoot. Sometimes it was actually pretty decent, other times it was garbage. Personally, it depended on what I was buying for me. Sunglasses weren't a big deal so getting some $5 Oakleys didn't bother me. I never looked at the shoes because those were something that could cause an injury so I wasn't willing to risk it.
If you like Nike so much, why would you support an individual illegally trying to knock them off? Don't you want to support the brand rather than siphon profits from them for a design they created?
Food for thought.
Connor1226 you looking for an argument bud? Why don't you go run it off. I was only asking how these replicas are. Then you insult the shoes I wear by saying they are crap. If you would read on here I replied with agree with everyones comments. I am sorry but Nike free have been some of the best shoes I have ever owned. I can't help it they don't fit you well. Everybody has different shaped feet and ideas of how their shoes should feel. Get over it!
Flat Feet---If you really do have flat feet, you should know that inferior shoes can lead to damage to your feet and body! Buy the good ones...you won't regret it.
I'm still trying to figure out how i'm going to pay for the $200 ones I want right now--
Dude, you've sure got a knack for the asinine, and it's not just limited to your posts on this thread.
The OP asked about the counterfeits; he didn't advocate them. The point was already made that counterfeits are no bueno por ka-ka. And then you had the unmitigated gall to take a drive-by gangsta shot at legitimate Nike products and go completely off topic.
Maybe you should turn that baseball cap around and grow up a little bit.
I wasn't starting an argument. I was just saying that if you really like the brand, you should probably support the brand, rather than think about buying a knock-off.
Like I said it was food for thought. I wasn't arguing with you. Just bringing up a perspective
(And it isn't insulting for people to do that).
I don't care that you like Nike. Stick with what works for you.

If you want something like Nike Free but cheap, get the Target brand version or something similar. They are really pretty nice and my kids have had them. They're cheap shoes sold as cheap shoes, so you're not doing anything illegal. If you want the Nike swoosh but don't want to pay for it, that's kinda low.
I guess Nike kicked sand in Connor's face at some point. Geez.
My son runs for a Nike school and has probably 40 pairs of Nike shoes. He likes the trainers, but likes Saucony whatevers better than the Nike Frees and has paid his own money for Saucony. He does have some Frees and they're okay.
Different people have different tastes, but in the wide range of Nikes there are plenty of quality shoes.
I no big fan of Nike, although I did like the Air Skylon back in the day. My biggest gripe with Nike is that they've got pretty much a universal monopoly on apparel and shoes across the board - professional, amateur, Olympics, schools, display of name/logo, etc.
My biggest gripe with Nike is that they've got pretty much a universal monopoly majority on apparel and shoes across the board - professional, amateur, Olympics, schools, display of name/logo, etc.
Actually, last track meet I was at I noticed a New Balance school and a Saucony school. I didn't know those companies made a full line of specialty shoes like throwing shoes and high jumping shoes, but they do.
73% of NBA players players wear Nike/Jordan, so they have a big majority, but there are a few wearing other shoes. This year's likely MVP, Steph Curry, wears UnderArmour.
I don't own any Nikes and actually don't even know where to buy Nike running shoes in my size and I've never worn Nike running shoes (or did I have a pair of Pegasus way back?).
Nah. Word on the street is that Connor tried to make some waffles with one of Bill Bowerman's old waffle irons.
I read an article last week about how Michael Jordan originally wanted to sign with Adidas but they turned him down for being too short. Jordan became a billionaire and Nike exploded in the NBA.
Big mistake on Adidas' part. Huge.
On the original topic of this thread: Knowingly purchasing counterfeit goods is illegal, although I don't know if anyone has ever been prosecuted for doing it online.
There are plenty of places to find name brand shoes on sale at 30 or 40 percent off, if not more. You don't need to support design theft and fraud.
And toilet paper. Cheap toilet paper is an absolute no.
I also hate Nike because of the USATF scandals. I also feel like if I ran in Nikes other people would think I'm a noob. might as well wear basketball shorts and a cotton t-shirt to compliment that look. And yes, I judge people who run in basketball shorts.

I better throw all my nikes away. Never realized what terrible shoes they are.
Whatever. I use the store brand and haven't had a breakthrough problem yet. Smell my finger.
This just seems like a bad idea all around.
With fakes you have no guarantee of the quality. Another way is to buy marked down shoes, such as shoes that are last year's style. For example, I saw these: Reebok Womens Running Shoes Size 5 M V62061 Sublite Escape Grey 2.0

H. Your tests may vary, but you may find that 12 minutes is a tad too long. Maybe try 9 or 10 min. to start?
Then again, every time I have gone to someone else for developing advice I get more answers that I know what to do with. Good luck. I'm going to continue my tests so that when I make the inevitable switch to Ilford films I'll know what I'm doing.
EDIT: I should say that these 4x5 sheets were tank developed with five gentle inversions every thirty seconds after a first full minute of agitation at 68 degrees F.

Wait, which was their earlier band that sang "Gimmie some money!" ??
I will have to go with the Folksmen. They are on our ipod rotation pretty frequently!
From Wiki :)
Originally named "The Originals", then "The New Originals" to distinguish themselves from an existing group of the same name,[6] they settled on the name "The Thamesmen", finding success with their skiffle/Rhythm and blues single "Gimme Some Money".
They're both a joke.

MMUSA:ATP Advantage Creatine Serum
Helps Builds Lean Muscle Mass!*
100% Stabile And Is Absorbed Quickly!*
Supported Goal: Improve Workout
Main Ingredient: Creatine Monohydrate
The original "No Load, No Maintenance" formula was introduced as an alternative to powdered creatine and other performance supplements. It became an immediate hit among athletes who realized that the serum made it easier for them to exercise harder and longer.*
The serum offers creatine monohydrate in stabilized liquid form. With a two year shelf-life, it will not break down to waste product creatinine. It also metabolizes faster, safer and more efficiently than powdered creatines.*
Absorption and food
Because ATP Advantage Creatine Serum bypasses the digestion phase, it is absorbed by the body more efficiently.* You will not have to worry about your food intake and managing your diet to reap the benefits of creatine. Powdered creatine takes 45 minutes to one hour to digest and is known to bind with food, hindering its absorption. This is why many athletes who are users of powdered creatine do not eat few hours before workout. Not consuming food before workout can cause many problems, including a lower energy level. With ATP Advantage Creatine Serum, worrying about food intake is a thing of the past.
No loading or maintenance
The purpose of the loading and maintenance phase required with powdered creatine is to saturates the muscles with creatine. When the body reaches a maximum level, and muscles are saturated, the balance is expelled in your urine. So, super-saturation with massive doses of the powder is totally useless and waste of money. Furthermore, the body has a limited capacity to absorb creatine. Hence you may absorb 40-50% of the creatine you actually take - maybe less depending on the level of natural creatine in your body.*
ATP Advantage Creatine Serum needs no loading because it saturate the muscles within minutes with enough creatine for your immediate workout.* The maintenance phase is not necessary either, although some serum users prefer to take it daily to boost other energy-requiring activities.*
NO Dehydration, and low dosages required*
Taking high dosages of creatine powder due to its poor absorption have caused many athletes to suffer severe dehydration. Taking creatine powder requires an athlete to drink extra water to counteract the dehydration caused by the powder. The problem is that powdered creatine pulls water from the body like sponge. Because you take a much lower dosage of serum you won´t experience this problem with Creatine Serum.* One 5 ML serving taken right before workout offers the equivalent of 2,500 mg of powdered creatine.* And this small dose, which is absorbed completely into the bloodstream without wastage, is more than enough for any athlete´s needs.* In fact, many studies have suggested that our muscles can handle only about 3 grams a day after the loading phase.* It is worth noting that a normal liver makes about 2 grams of creatine each day.
Easy on kidneys and no leveling off
Due to the formation of creatinine, the waste product derived from powdered creatine, the kidneys have to work harder to flush out excess waste. Again, this is not a problem that users of ATP Advantage Creatine Serum face. Our serum is completely depleted from the body after any intense session 1-3 hour workout.*
There have been many reports about creatine´s "leveling off" effect. After sustained usage, creatine seems to become less effective. So, many experts call for a break, or cycling. This eases pressure on the kidneys, and then creatine can be re-introduced after a while. Cycling is not needed with the serum because there is no strain on the kidneys, and consequently no leveling off effect.*
Water retention
When powdered creatine was introduced in the U.S., athletes were very excited about its possibilities. However, it was discovered later from athletes who quit using creatine powder that some muscles actually shrunk. This is because the powder retains water which helps make up what are called cosmetic muscles. So, some athletes reported a loss of size and performance after their creatine use ended. Creatine Serum, on the other hand, acts on the water that inside the muscle so effectively that a small dose of the serum performs its job adequately.* It helps build lasting strength and improves endurance.* The key is simply to keep your energy level up, and maintain muscles even after you decide to quit using any form of creatine.*
Goodbye to the grit
Powdered creatine is known for its chalky gritty taste. Trying to flavor it with other powdered flavors actually adds to its chalkiness. Creatine Serum comes in six natural tasting flavors, cherry, grape, orange, strawberry, blueberry and raspberry. Many users actually describe its taste as "delicious".
Other added benefits
Each formula comes stabilized in a synergetic base of vitamin B12, ginseng, royal jelly, honey, glycerine and distilled water.
Additional beneficial ingredients are also added to each formula to provide optimal benefits to all athletes of different sex and ages.

In Kibbutz Sdot Yam just outside Caesarea, this excellent museum houses many of the artifacts found by kibbutz members as they plowed their fields in the 1940s. The small museum has arguably the best collection of late-Roman sculpture and figurines in Israel, with impressive holdings of rare Roman and Byzantine gemstones; a large variety of coins minted in Caesarea over the ages; and oil lamps, jewelry, and urns excavated from the sea floor.

New Insight Into Obesity and Metabolic Disorders
Building on a decade of discoveries concerning obesity's role in Type 2 diabetes and related metabolic disorders, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health have uncovered surprising roles for lipid and calcium-processing abnormalities in the liver. By correcting these problems in a mouse model, the team reversed high blood-glucose levels, insulin resistance and other metabolic hallmarks of Type 2 diabetes.
As the related epidemics of obesity and diabetes escalate around the world, "the discovery of a faulty metabolic mechanism in fatty liver tissue opens new opportunities to consider for therapeutics," said Gökhan Hotamisligil, the J.S. Simmons Professor of Genetics and Metabolism and chair of the Department of Genetics and Complex Diseases at HSPH. His team reported their findings in the May 2 issue of Nature.
The chain of molecular events by which obesity disrupts metabolism causes a domino effect of damage: high blood pressure, cholesterol abnormalities and resistance to insulin, a prelude to diabetes in which cells are unresponsive to the hormone and cannot efficiently make energy from blood sugar. In addition to diabetes, obesity has been linked to cardiovascular, liver and neurodegenerative diseases and certain cancers.
Stressed Out
The Hotamisligil lab had established chronic inflammation as a prime cause of metabolic disruption in obesity, implicating the organelle known as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and tracing insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes to ER overload, or ER stress, as obesity develops. Subsequently, his group and others observed similar ER-stress-related problems in human obesity.
Until the Hotamisligil lab elucidated the ER's role in regulating metabolism, the membranous organelle was known mainly for manufacturing and trafficking proteins and for quality control. Why the ER fails in obesity was a mystery for the lab to solve.
HSPH Research Associate Suneng Fu, first author of the Nature paper, tackled that mystery by comparing the ER in fat and lean liver tissues. Instead of looking at one possible mechanism at a time, he mapped the organelle's activities comprehensively.
Fu developed a methodology to purify the ER from lean and obese tissues, then isolated and identified each of the proteins and lipids present in the ER. HSPH collaborators Alexander Ivanov, research scientist, and Steven Watkins, visiting scientist, did the proteomic and lipidomic analyses, respectively.
The researchers anticipated that in obesity, the primary driver of ER stress was a flooding of the ER factory with protein. (Picture a conveyor belt on overdrive.) But in what Hotamisligil called a "shocking surprise," they found that obese samples had fewer proteins and more lipids than did lean.
"Obesity was spurring a switch in the ER from synthesizing proteins to synthesizing lipids," Hotamisligil said.
Lipid Changes
Looking closely at lipid changes in the fatty tissue, the researchers noted that two lipids critical to the structural integrity of the ER membrane, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine—PC and PE—were the most altered. If the membrane were affected, they reasoned, perhaps its tubular channels, which were transporting calcium, were as well.
Hotamisligil likens the ER and its channels to a 12-cylinder Formula One race car, one that runs on calcium instead of just guzzling fuel in the form of ATP. The ER needs calcium to make and fold functional proteins. While searching the literature on channel function, the team uncovered a 25-year-old finding that a precise ratio of PC to PE was necessary for the function of proteins involved in channeling calcium. Interestingly, this ratio precisely resembled that measured by the team in the liver ER in normal, lean mice. In the fatty tissue, on the other hand, this ratio was high—perhaps explaining why, as the team noted, calcium was escaping through the ER membranes in obese liver.
To fix the leak, the researchers used two strategies. Through genetic manipulation they corrected the PC/PE ratio by blocking the effect of an enzyme, PEMT. They also used a virus to deliver to the fatty livers of lab mice a protein, SERCA, known to be responsible for pumping calcium into the ER.
Both maneuvers led to the same result: in essence, a reversal in the mice of metabolic problems. "ER stress went away, blood glucose levels fell back to normal, insulin sensitivity was restored and fatty liver was resolved," said Hotamisligil.
In obesity, it is an increased synthesis of lipids, not of proteins, that disrupts ER function and leads to stress, the researchers concluded. Looking ahead to potential drug therapies, it might be possible to restore lipid metabolism and calcium homeostasis to normal, Hotamisligil said, adding that dietary solutions are also worth exploring.
The liver isn't the only site wherein obesity disrupts metabolism and ignites metabolic disease by stressing the ER, Hotamisligil notes. ER stress has been observed in adipose tissue and in the pancreas and brain. In these tissues, too, he said, "we're working to decode the ER landscape."

Locatable Address Conversion System
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (August 2008)
Locatable Address Conversion System (LACS) is a service offered by the United States Postal Service to update mailing addresses when a street is renamed or the address is updated for 911. In the case of 911, the address is changed from a rural route format to an urban/city route format. E.G. RR 2 BOX 8, SOME CITY, TX would become 2601 BELMONT DR, SOME CITY, TX.
A check of address using LACS is typically not performed by the USPS, but by 3rd parties who license the LACS data from the USPS. A licensee will create or purchase software to perform the LACS check, receive periodic updates of LACS data from the USPS, and submit reports to the USPS about how the LACS data was used.

Injury keeps former Arizona hooper from FB debut

Greg Paulus has received all the attention as the basketball player turned football player.
And for good reason.
He's the starting quarterback for a Big East team, after all.
But there is another former basketball player playing college football this season.
His name is Fendi Onobun.
Onobun completed a four-year career at Arizona in March by helping the Wildcats to the Sweet 16. Last month, he took advantage of the same rule Paulus took advantage of and enrolled at Houston to play football for the Cougars. He's listed as a tight end.
So how did Onobun do in the opener?
He didn't play, actually.
"He is still recovering from a high ankle sprain suffered in the first week of camp," said Chris Burkhalter, Houston's associate athletic director for communications. Thus, we're still awaiting the football debut of Fendi Onobun. But I just thought it was worth noting that there is more than one former Division I basketball player now playing Division I football at a different school.
