Palm oil is very bad for one's health. The only people who profit from this are the plantation owners. We are not only putting the orangutans at risk, but those of human beings as well. Before buying products like cakes, cookies etc. check the ingredients. If they contain palm oil, don't buy them. They are trans fat and contribute to clogged arteries, high cholesterol levels etc. and can provoke heart attacks and strokes!
How you can help
We are winning, but this issue remains urgent and we need your voice, your passion and your commitment to get the remaining laggards, including Nissin and Maruchan, over the finish line to 100% responsible palm oil.
When you take action, big things happen! Today, after years of campaigning, we're proud to release our first scorecard—Testing Commitments to Cut Conflict Palm Oil—ranking the companies of the Snack Food 20. Check out the report now — and share it with your friends. Is there Conflict Palm Oil in your home? This report ranks the strengths of the commitments made by the Snack Food 20…
In rainforests half a world away from the United States, orangutans are making their last stand for survival. Scientists warn that these gentle and intelligent animals, among humankind's closest kin, could become extinct within our lifetime if their rainforest homes continue to be destroyed for palm oil plantations.

Maiden of Imatra
This is Imatran Impi or Maiden of Imatra by Taisto Martiskainen, the sculptor. It commemorates all the people who have lost their lives by deciding to jump in to the fierce rapids of Imatrankoski. The statue was placed here in 1972 and it shows a female figure who floats in the rapids with her long, curly hair open.

The State Hotel
Valtionhotelli or the State Hotel was built by the Finnish senate from 1901-1903 after previous hotels were burnt down because they were wooden. The hotel designed by Usko Nystroem is one of the best examples of the turn of the century architecture.
Power stations
There are several power stations in Imatra which use water power. It's quite amazing watching the fast running water.
On the 3rd picture is the "runner wheel" of a turbine that was in use from 1.4.1936 until 5.11.1989. You can see this wheel just by the power station with explanations in various languages.
Imatra's famous rapids
The old rapids water flow is heavily regulated and there is a big power plant so usually the old rapids is dry. However, go see the rapids when they are letting water through. This happens regularly in the summer and it's a popular tourist attraction. It's a great sight.
- Adventure Travel
- Family Travel
Opening of the water gates
This is what is looks a few minutes after 7pm. They let music play with the spectacle and it's impressive to see how the water comes rushing down and finds its way. After 30 minutes they close the gates again.
Kosken Kuohut
The impressive Imatrankoski rapids, oldest tourist attraction in Finland, cuts the city in half. It is usually empty, just the rocky river bed in sight, but in summer time and at Christmas and New Years Eve they have rapids shows there.
It all starts with a telling of a story about the birth of the rapids and then music from the famous Finnish composer, Sibelius, fills the air. They open the flood gates and water slowly starts to run to the river bed with an ever increacing power smashing to the rocks and rumbling so loud you can hardly hear the music anymore. When its dark they have a light show accompanying the event.
It is an impressive show, so dont' miss it if you're in Imatra. It doesn't even cost a thing.

Imatrankoski Rapids
Imatra's most famous attraction.
Some days a year you can see The Rapids Show which lasts 20 minutes. Eight minutes after the flood gates are opened, the foams reach their peak with an average of 500 cubic metres of water per second flowing in the stream.
You can find schedule of this show on the following url
No waterfall in winter
In winter you can view the contrast to when everything is under snow. Some of the walks downstream from the dam cannot be used as they are way too slippery and dangerous.
Go for a walk
along the river. There are some nice paths. It's really the nature that is the main attraction in Imatra.
Virgin maiden
This statue is nicely set with a miniature waterfall. It cannot be missed on your walk around the watery aera.
The main attraction is the artificial waterfall
If you come in summer before 7 pm this is what it looks like and everybody waits around the site or on the bridge for action.

U.S. States & Regions
States and regions across the country are adopting climate policies, including the development of regional greenhouse gas reduction markets, the creation of state and local climate action and adaptation plans, and increasing renewable energy generation. Read More
Pennsylvania Adopts Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard
On December 16, 2004, Governor Edward Rendell signed into law Pennsylvania's Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard. The standard requires that qualified power sources provide 18% of Pennsylvania's electricity by 2020. There are two tiers of qualified sources that electric generation and distribution companies may use to meet the standard. Each tier has its own percentage requirement. Tier 1 sources, which must make up 8% of the portfolio, include wind, solar, coalmine methane, small hydropower, geothermal, and biomass. The Tier 1 standard also specifies that solar sources provide 0.5% of generation by 2020, the most solar power mandated by any state. Tier 2 sources make up the remaining 10% of the portfolio, and include waste coal, demand side management, large hydropower, municipal solid waste, and coal integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC). The Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission is charged with developing a system of tradeable clean energy credits to facilitate utility compliance with the standard. Pennsylvania is the 18th U.S. state with a mandate to produce some portion of its electricity from renewable sources.

Maine Releases Climate Action Plan
On December 1, 2004, Maine released its Climate Action Plan to reduce the state's greenhouse gas emissions. The plan, developed by the state's Department of Environmental Protection, is a set of 54 actions that may enable Maine to achieve its emissions targets. These targets follow the New England Governors' and Eastern Canadian Premiers' climate agreement, and will reduce Maine's greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2010 and to 10% below those levels in 2020. Both the targets and the development of the plan are a result of a law enacted by Maine last year. Maine's plan proposes increasing sequestration of carbon through new forestry practices, creating incentives for more efficient vehicles, and trading emission reduction credits. In assessing the costs of the plan, the Department of Environmental Protection predicted that almost half of the actions would reduce emissions at little or no cost.

West Coast Governors Support Stronger Climate Strategy
On November 18, 2004, the governors of the three Pacific states that comprise the West Coast Governors' Global Warming Initiative approved staff recommendations on climate change. These recommendations included setting emissions targets for state vehicle fleets, creating targets and incentives for renewable energy, and developing efficiency standards for appliances not regulated by the federal government. The staff recommendations also included numerous other actions addressing transportation, renewables, efficiency, alternative fuels, and greenhouse gas emissions inventories. The governors directed their staffs to continue working on opportunities for regional collaboration. The West Coast Governors will hold a conference in 2005 detailing the results of climate change research applicable to the West Coast states. The West Coast Governors' Global Warming Initiative was launched in September 2003, with a commitment from Governors Kulongoski, Locke, and Schwarzenegger to act collaboratively and individually to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

New Report Shows Disturbing Ecological Changes in the U.S.
Washington, DC — Over the past century, Earth's average temperature has increased by approximately 1oF. There is now strong evidence that this global warming is largely due to human emissions of greenhouse gases from a growing fossil fuel economy. Unless these emissions are checked, additional warming of 2-10 degrees is projected by the end of the 21st century. There are abundant signs, however, that the warming has already been sufficient to induce significant changes in the ecosystems and wildlife of the United States.
A new report by the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, Observed Impacts of Global Climate Change in the U.S., by Camille Parmesan of The University of Texas at Austin and Hector Galbraith of Galbraith Environmental Sciences and the University of Colorado-Boulder, reviews the broad range of ecological changes that have occurred in response to human induced changes in the global and U.S. climate.
"U.S. ecosystems and wildlife are already responding to the warming climate," said Eileen Claussen, President of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change. "And this is only the beginning. With warming for the next century projected to be two to ten times greater than the last, we're heading toward a fundamental and potentially irreversible disruption of the U.S. landscape and wildlife."
Numerous changes have already been observed and these changes have a range of implications for the United States, its ecosystems, and biodiversity. The responses of plants and animals to a changing climate are indicative of their natural ability to adapt, yet future global warming is likely to exceed the ability of many species to migrate or adjust. Furthermore, one species' success in coping with climate change may be another species' failure. The red fox, for example, is expanding into the range of the arctic fox, forcing the arctic fox into an ever-contracting area.
Other observed changes include a long-term trend toward an earlier spring, with earlier flowering and reproduction of plant and bird species. Butterflies on the U.S. west coast are moving north and to higher altitudes in search of tolerable climate conditions, with some populations disappearing altogether from the southern end of their ranges. And perhaps most alarming -- the frozen Arctic tundra is thawing, releasing carbon dioxide to the atmosphere in a feedback loop that could ultimately accelerate global warming.
In addition, wildlife attempting to cope with current global warming must also contend with myriad other challenges such as habitat fragmentation, invasive species, water diversion, environmental contamination, and over-exploitation, all of which collectively undermine their ability to adapt.
"What's happening to our environment is not natural – it's a problem of our own making. The longer we delay in reducing greenhouse gas emissions the greater the problem will become," said the Pew Center's Claussen.
The report also highlights actions that can be taken to better manage U.S. natural resources to minimize the effects of climate change.
The full text of these and other Pew Center reports is available at http://www.c2es.org.
The Pew Center was established in May 1998 by The Pew Charitable Trusts, one of the United States' largest philanthropies and an influential voice in efforts to improve the quality of the environment. The Pew Center is an independent, nonprofit, and non-partisan organization dedicated to providing credible information, straight answers, and innovative solutions in the effort to address global climate change. The Pew Center is led by Eileen Claussen, the former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs.
An Effective Approach to Climate Change
An Effective Approach to Climate Change
By Eileen Claussen
Enhanced online at www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5697/816
Originally published October 29, 2004: VOL 306 SCIENCE
The Bush Administration's "business as usual" climate change policy (1), with limited R&D investments, no mandates for action, and no plan for adapting to climate change, is inadequate. We must start now to reduce emissions and to spur the investments necessary to reduce future emissions. We also need a proactive approach to adaptation to limit the severity and costs of climate change impacts.
Science and Economics
Those who are opposed to national climate change policies make much of the uncertainties in climate models, specifically the rate and magnitude of global warming. The Climate Change Science Program's plan, points out Secretary Abraham, would address these uncertainties, although he offers no assurances that the program will be adequately funded. However, the scientific community already agrees on three key points: global warming is occurring; the primary cause is fossil fuel consumption; and if we don't act now to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, it will get worse.
Yes, there are uncertainties in future trends of GHG emissions. However, even if we were able to stop emitting GHGs today, warming will continue due to the GHGs already in the atmosphere (2).
National climate change policy has not changed significantly for several years. The first President Bush pursued a strategy of scientific research and voluntary GHG emissions reductions. The new Climate Change Science Program has a budget comparable, in inflation-adjusted dollars, to its predecessor, the Global Climate Research Program, during the mid-1990s. The Administration's current GHG intensity target will increase absolute emissions roughly 14% above 2000 levels and 30% above 1990 levels by 2010 (3). These increases will make future mitigation efforts much more difficult and costly.
While reducing uncertainty is important, we must also focus on achieving substantial emissions reductions and adapting to climate change.
Low-Carbon Technology Development
The Administration's more substantive R&D initiatives, such as Hydrogen Fuels and FutureGen (clean coal) are relatively modest investments in technologies that are decades away from deployment. We need a far more vigorous effort to promote energy efficient technologies; to prepare for the hydrogen economy; to develop affordable carbon capture and sequestration technologies; and to spur the growth of renewable energy, biofuels, and coal-bed methane capture.
Equally important, we need to encourage public and private investment in a wide-ranging portfolio of low-carbon technologies. Despite the availability of such technologies for energy, transportation, and manufacturing, there is little motivation for industry to use them. Widespread use of new technology is most likely when there are clear and consistent policy signals from the government (4).
One-fifth of U.S. emissions comes from cars and trucks (5). The Administration's targets to improve fuel economy for light trucks and "sports utility" vehicles (SUVs) by 1.5 miles per gallon over the next three model years fall far short of what is already possible. California is setting much more ambitious emission standards for cars and light trucks. Current efficiency standards can be improved by 12% for subcompacts to 27% for larger cars without compromising performance (5).Hybrid vehicles can already achieve twice the fuel efficiency of the average car.
About one-third of U.S. emissions results from generating energy for buildings (6). Policies that increase energy efficiency using building codes, appliance efficiency standards, tax incentives, product efficiency labeling, and Energy Star programs, can significantly reduce emissions and operating costs. Policies that promote renewable energy can reduce emissions and spur innovation.Sixteen states have renewable energy mandates (7).
The Power of the Marketplace
Policies that are market driven can help achieve environmental targets cost-effectively. A sustained price signal, through a cap-and-trade program, was identified as the most effective policy driver by a group of leaders from state and local governments, industry, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) (8).
Senators Lieberman (D–CT) and McCain's (R–AZ) 2003 Climate Stewardship Act proposes a market-based approach to cap GHG emissions at 2000 levels by 2010. The bill, opposed by the Administration, garnered the support of 44 Senators. Nine Northeastern states are developing a regional "cap-and-trade" initiative to reduce power plant emissions. An important first step would be mandatory GHG emissions reporting.
Adapting to Climate Change
An important issue that Secretary Abraham failed to address is the need for anticipating and adapting to the climate change we are already facing. Economic sectors with long-lived investments, such as water resources, coastal resources, and energy may have difficulty adapting (9). A proactive approach to adaptation could limit the severity and costs of the impacts of climate change.
By limiting emissions and promoting technological change, the United States could put itself on a path to a low-carbon future by 2050, cost-effectively. Achieving this will require a much more explicit and comprehensive national commitment than we have seen to date. The rest of the developed world, including Japan and the European Union, is already setting emission-reduction targets and enacting carbon-trading schemes. Far from "leading the way" on climate change at home and around the world, as Secretary Abraham suggested, the United States has fallen behind.

California Announces Intention to Cut Vehicle GHG Emissions 30 Percent
On September 24, 2004, the California Air Resources Board voted to issue regulations implementing legislation passed in 2002. The legislation directs the ARB to adopt regulations that would achieve the "maximum feasible and cost-effective reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles." The standard will require that tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from new vehicles be reduced by 22 percent by the 2012 model year and 30 percent by the 2016 model year. Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont currently follow California's vehicle emission standards, and may opt to either adopt the new regulations, or fall back to federal standards. New York, Massachusetts, and Connecticut have already indicated that they will follow California's standard. The cost-effective reduction measures identified by the staff include discrete variable valve lift, dual cam phasing, turbocharging with engine downsizing, automated manual transmissions, and camless valve actuation. The ARB expects that the regulations will add around $1000 to the cost of a new car in 2014 but that the increased up-front cost will be more than offset by decreased operating costs over the life of the vehicle. The regulation will apply only to model years 2009 and later. The Board considered the final staff proposal at a public hearing in September 2004, and the ARB is required by law to adopt standards by January 1, 2005. The standards will not enter into effect until January 1, 2006, to give the legislature time to review the regulations and modify them, if necessary.

Press Advisory: Is Global Warming Causing Hurricanes?
Media Advisory
September 15, 2004
Contact: Katie Mandes
Straight answers from a reliable source—The Pew Center on Global Climate Change
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Is there a connection between the recent severe weather events and global warming? Some are suggesting the 2004 hurricane season is unprecedented; but is it really?
Scientists know that higher ocean temperatures are more suitable for hurricane formation (especially major hurricanes), while lower temperatures are associated with less active hurricane seasons, so the speculation is that hurricanes will increase in frequency or intensity in a warmer world.
"While there is much we can say about global warming with a high degree of confidence, the incidence of severe weather and its link to global warming is an area that requires further research," says Eileen Claussen, President of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, "The ability of scientists to predict the potential response of hurricanes to global warming is very limited at the moment, so there is little that can be said with confidence."
Claussen, who is widely regarded as one of the most credible resources on the topic of climate change, is a former Secretary of State for the Oceans and Environment and currently works with business leaders, policy-makers, scientists, and other experts to bring a new approach to a complex and often controversial issue. Her approach is based on sound science, straight talk, and a belief that we can work together to protect the climate while sustaining strong economic growth.
The Pew Center on Global Climate Change has compiled a list of the frequently asked questions concerning a possible link between global warming and hurricanes.
- Is this year's hurricane season unusually active?
- Will global warming create more hurricanes in the future?
- Will global warming create other types of severe weather?
- Will damage from severe weather become worse in the future?
- What can we do to reduce the consequences of severe weather?
The Pew Center has become a catalyst for collaboration in the business community, a key advisor to Congressional and international policymakers, and most importantly, an honest broker on the issue of climate change.
California Legislature to Allow Hybrids in HOV Lanes
On September 3, 2004, the California legislature passed a bill allowing drivers of hybrid electric vehicles to use high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, even if the driver is the only occupant. In order to go into effect, the bill would have to be signed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, after which the state would have to obtain federal approval because California's 1,200 miles of HOV lanes were built using federal funds. The bill, AB 2628, requires the state to distribute decals to owners of hybrid vehicles that average at least 45 miles per gallon, up to a maximum of 75,000 vehicles. Virginia already has a program in place allowing hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles to use HOV lanes, even with only one occupant. Similar legislation is included in the federal transportation bill now under consideration in the U.S. Congress, and has also been introduced in the state legislatures of Georgia, Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Washington. The goal of the legislation is to encourage the purchase of hybrid vehicles, in order to achieve energy security benefits and reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
States Litigate for Utility Emissions Reductions
On July 21, 2004, officials from eight states and New York City filed a lawsuit that seeks to force five utilities to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions. The states are basing their action on federal common law of public nuisance, arguing that carbon dioxide is a pollutant that endangers the health of their citizens. The lawsuit would require that the utilities reduce their carbon dioxide emissions by increasing efficiency, investing in cleaner technologies, and increasing the use of their existing cleaner and more efficient electricity generation facilities. The plaintiff states are California, Connecticut, Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin. The utilities – American Electric Power Co., Southern Co., Xcel Energy Inc., Cinergy Corp., and the federally run Tennessee Valley Authority – emit 646 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, or about 25 percent of power sector emissions and 10 percent of the nation's total emissions. This is the first time any state has filed a lawsuit against a company for emitting carbon dioxide. The plaintiffs are not requesting financial compensation.
Rhode Island Passes Renewable Energy Standard
On June 29, 2004, Rhode Island Governor Donald L. Carcieri signed the Clean Energy Act, which requires state electricity retailers to derive at least 3 percent of the electricity they sell in state from renewable energy by December 31, 2006. The percentage of renewable energy required will then rise 1 percent per year through 2020, though the Rhode Island Public Utility Commission (PUC) is authorized to revise the schedule after 2013. Existing renewable resources may only contribute 2 percent of the required amount of renewables in any year; the rest must be from new renewable energy production. All energy for compliance must be generated in or delivered into the New England Power Pool electric grid, and compliance will be tracked using New England Generation Information System certificates, an accounting system for generation attributes. The law includes a number of flexibility mechanisms designed to lower the cost of compliance, including credit for adding renewables ahead of schedule and limited carry-over of credits from year to year. The PUC is directed to adopt regulations to implement the standard by December 31, 2005. The PUC is to design the regulations to achieve substantial greenhouse gas emission reductions, among other goals.

meeting the dragon mining trainer
after you meet queriatia, swing back around and head down the spiral ramp. in the room at the end of the ramp, you will find the dragon mining trainer, evenitas.
you will get to know evenitas well, at least if you are smart. almost everything a dragon can make requires the use of metal in some form - certainly most armour and techs. the trainer, of course, offers level appropriate quests - in my case, gathering cobalt ore.
in order to get the quest, you speak to the trainer, as with all trainers. keep in mind that dralk has a lot of resources in relatively safe areas close together, and that you can take more than one quest at a time. also remember that non crafting quests sometimes have a timer on completion, which i will explain more when we get to umbelroth.......
anyway, head to the cob field outside of dralk, collect the ore (ore only, do not convert it to bars in the craft cave next to the field, haul it back to dralk, and have evenitas laugh at your mistake before sending you back out to get just the ore.....), and return to the floating island to get your reward.
next time we meet, i will take you into the more dangerous area where a couple trainers are waiting to meet you. it's easy to die getting to these trainers, so keep that in mind!

Halloween Party Wrap-Up (Part 2)
More of the frightfully great parties you threw for Halloween 2010...
Melissa T's Sweet Halloween Party
More of the frightfully great parties you threw for Halloween 2010...
Melissa T's Sweet Halloween Party
Nicole W did something amazing at her Magical Cornish Fairy Affair. She added twinkle lights to her punch and water dispensers and made them glow!
I've never seen anything like this, so I had to ask Nicole how she pulled it off. Here's what she said:
To gear up for Thanksgiving here are some of my favorite holiday finds on Etsy...
Autumn glittered acorns from Birch Hill Crafts. Great for dressing up your Thanksgiving table.
If you're thinking of doing something a little different for your Halloween party this year, check out these two movie themed Halloween parties, one based on Alice in Wonderland and the other based on the Twilight saga. (Click on the photos to see more of each party.) Aren't they creepy and great?
Chris N's "MAD" Hatter Halloween Tea Party
One of my daughter's all-time favorite shows is Yo Gabba Gabba. For those of you who haven't seen it, it's a trip. It's got these giant characters who live in Gabba Land, a DJ puppet master named DJ Lance Rock, and A-list guest stars including Jack Black, Andy Samberg, Mya, Tony Hawk, Elijah Wood, and others.
What's great about Yo Gabba Gabba as a party theme is that it can work for a girl or a boy, it's got a wonderful color pallet, and there's awesome music.
Nicole W told me about her Magical Cornish Fairy Affair months ago, when she was still in the planning stage. I knew this was going to be an out-of-this-world party, so I asked her if I could write a SPOTLIGHT feature on it once she had had it.
How right I was about her party. It's incredible! Take a look at these photos, and the most amazing part is that Nicole did it all herself (including the cake)!
(NEW CONTEST: Tell us what your favorite party is on our site and win a $50 gift certificate from CSN. It's that's easy!)
One of my daughter's closest friends is in love with the movie Cars, so in honor of him, and in honor of all the other boys who love it, too, I thought would highlight these incredibly original and creative Cars birthday parties on our site.
Since this is our Halloween inspiration week, here are some of my favorite Halloween finds on Etsy.
These cookies from a Spoonful of Sugar Shop.
Are we the luckiest blog or what? Now Lindi from Love the Day has designed these gorgeous FREE Halloween party printables just for our readers!
There are cupcake toppers/party labels, water bottle labels, cupcake wrappers, and a large cobweb "welcome" sign! Now there's no excuse not to throw a Halloween party.
I was not planning on doing a fourth post on Halloween dessert tables, but there were some really inspiring ones added to our site recently so I couldn't resist. Enjoy these gorgeous tables...

I love this picture! I would really like to use it in the interior of the apartment. I do not really understand how to buy a picture, help me. Image will print. 3400х1100mm
I am glad you enjoy my artwork. At the moment, it is not for sale. Sorry :/
That looks like a graphic design on a photograph =o
loving this piece!
Just incredible !
simply wow!
Very interesting piece, great movement and I love how the colors work with each other, well done!
Thank you very much for the complement! This was a bit of an experiment, with a more negative space than I usually use, and I'm glad you feel the colors and movement works well -- that's something I strive to incorporate in much of what I make, so it makes me glad to hear this!
very nice
The clarity in this is stunning. You're a genius.
I appreciate the compliment! I'd hardly say it's genius, but I often look at artwork from friends and others which I consider incredibly high-caliber, so I often can't judge how my own work stands up.
I really like this.
I like the photo like quality to this render. The blurred outer edges really draw you into the inner anomaly.
Thank you very much! I've been trying to execute a type of 'photographic' style in some of my recent works with varying levels of success. I'm glad you like how this turned out!
absolutely love the faux-3D style you've got. would certainly buy a large print, if life wasnt being so frugal for me.
Thank you very much! And haha, no worries, I usually make art for personal enjoyment and not for profit, so this isn't being offered as a print (yet). Maybe someday in the future...
That is awesome!

Doctor Who Ecstatic by MisterTimeLordWatch
©2013-2016 MisterTimeLord
During a Doctor Who cosplay photo shoot, I was making ridiculous faces between takes. So our photographer snagged a shot. For better or worse...
ok this has to be one of the best things. Most Doctor cosplayers take themselves way too seriously. But one thing I loved about 11 - not the case! This is great.
I love this
so cute ;-;
you should caption this.
It really does need a caption lol. Maybe I'll hold a little caption contest...
Creepy yet cool!
Holy crud! This is fantastic!!!!
Adorable C:
hahaha, great candid shot. The expression is priceless.
Haha, yeah... The Doctor apparently traveled back to the golden age of Hollywood and tried to make it big.
I don't think it worked lol.
I don't think it worked lol.
You make a great 11!
Thank you! Really cool new photos coming from our Angels Take Manhattan shoot! Keep your eyes peeled
Your face is so funny. Great cosplay of 11th!( I think you have a little something of Jim Carrey too on this shot. ^^)

Publications (7)22.7 Total impact
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This report is a retrospective analysis of 376 patients with recurrent cervical carcinoma, following definitive radiation therapy to 1054 patients with stage IB-IVA carcinoma of the uterine cervix treated at the Radiation Oncology Center, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology, from January 1959 through December 1982. The sites of failure after treatment by stage at initial diagnosis were classified as pelvic only (P), pelvic plus distant metastasis (P + DM), or distant metastasis only (DM). The sites of first failure were for stage IB, P = 0.8%, P + DM = 7.4%, DM = 7.9%; for stage IIA, P = 1.7%, P + DM = 14.7%, DM = 17.2%; for stage IIB, P = 10.4%, P + DM = 11.0%, DM = 14.9%; for stage III, P = 15.4%, P + DM = 23.9%, DM = 18.9%; and for stage IV, P = 16.7%, P + DM = 61.1%, DM = 16.7%. The actuarial probability of pelvic failure at 5 years from initial therapy was 8% for stage IB, 16% for stage IIA, 21% for stage IIB, 42% for stage III, and 100% for stage IV. The incidence of distant metastasis at 5 years was 14, 32, 28, 47, and 100% for stages IB, IIA, IIB, III, and IV, respectively. The therapy after failure was surgery, irradiation, irradiation plus surgery, or chemotherapy. There appeared to be no major difference in survival after recurrence by type of treatment or initial stage. The overall survival at 5 years for all untreated patients was 1%. The median survival was evaluated as a function of time to failure after initial treatment. Patients who developed disease more than 36 months after initial treatment had a median survival of 22.5 months. The median survival was 12.1, 7.6, 9.4, and 9.1 months for those failing less than 6, 6-12, 13-24, and 25-36 months after initial treatment. Severe treatment complications occurred in 3.6% (5/140).
Article: Daunorubicin conjugated to a monoclonal anti-CA125 antibody selectively kills human ovarian cancer cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The present study was designed to test the in vitro efficacy for human ovarian cancer cells of daunorubicin (DNR) conjugated to a monoclonal antibody (OC125). The OC125 antibody specifically binds to the antigenic protein CA125 from human ovarian carcinoma. New analogs of DNR containing various linker groups were conjugated to mouse monoclonal anti-CA125 antibody (DNR-OC125); nonspecific murine IgG1 (DNR-IgG1); or bovine serum albumin (DNR-BSA). The DNR-protein conjugates were all stable for several days in neutral solutions at room temperature. The DNR-OC125 conjugates selectively killed dividing cell populations but not nondividing cell populations of two human ovarian cancer cell lines (SK-OV-3 or OVCAR-3) that express the CA125 antigen. Equivalent concentrations of DNR-IgG1 or DNR-BSA conjugates were neither toxic to the dividing nor the nondividing populations of SK-OV-3 or OVCAR-3 cells. Only those DNR-protein conjugates linked to OC125 were cytotoxic to dividing cell populations of both cell lines. This indicates that cytotoxicity is dependent on OC125 antibody-CA125 antigen binding which concentrates DNR on the ovarian cancer cells. We advance the hypothesis that following antibody-antigen binding, DNR is released from the conjugate and it intercalates in DNA by a mechanism similar to that of the unmodified DNR. The new DNR-OC125 conjugate may be useful for delivering DNR to ovarian tumors that express the CA125 antigen because the drug-antibody conjugates (1) retain the cytotoxic characteristics of the unmodified drug: (2) specifically kill the human ovarian cancer cells that express the CA125 antigen; and (3) are completely stable for days in neutral solutions at room temperature.
Article: Therapy of ovarian carcinoma: The relationshp of dose level and treatment intensity to survival
Article: Therapy of ovarian carcinoma: The relationship of dose level and treatment intensity to survival[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Following primary maximal cytoreduction, 71 previously untreated patients with advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma received at least six courses of combination chemotherapy consisting of cisplatin, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide. The cumulative dose (CD) through three (CD3) and six (CD6) courses was calculated for each drug and for all drugs combined. The dose intensity (DI) through three (DI3) and six (DI6) courses was calculated for each drug by dividing CD3 and CD6 by the interval (in weeks) between surgery and the third and sixth course. The interval from surgery to the third or sixth course had no effect on survival. Similarly, there was no significant difference in survival between patients with high and low CD3 or CD6 for any drug or for all drugs combined. Patients with high DI6 for cisplatin, doxorubicin, and all drugs combined survived significantly longer than those with low DI6. The survival difference for patients with high and low DI6 for cyclophosphamide approached, but did not attain, statistical significance at the 0.05 level. The intensity with which combination chemotherapy is administered may have an impact upon survival in patients with ovarian carcinoma.
Article: Radiation therapy and conservation surgery for primary and recurrent carcinoma of the vulva: Report of 40 patients and a review of the literature[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Forty patients with histologically confirmed primary or recurrent vulvar carcinoma were treated with radiation therapy for loco-regional disease. Nineteen of the patients with primary tumors received postoperative radiotherapy (5000 cGy in 6 weeks). Fifteen of the 19 exhibited local tumor control. Five patients with Stage III or IV disease were managed with radiotherapy alone. Four had a complete response with two currently NED. Two patients who received preoperative radiotherapy with local excision are also currently free of disease. The 4-year NED survival for the study population is 100%, 28%, 50%, 0% and 10% for Stage I, II, III, IV and recurrent tumors respectively. The poor results obtained in Stage II tumors is likely due to selection criteria since four of seven patients developed distant metastases. Two of the 14 patients treated for recurrent disease remain NED after local excision of their tumors prior to irradiation. Even though the number of patients is small no dose response for subclinical disease could be found between 4500 and 7000 cGy. Treatment morbidity was acceptable with two patients developing severe long-term complications requiring surgical intervention.
Article: Serum copper in ovarian carcinoma[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The serum copper and CA 125 levels of 31 patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma were determined. Serum copper was elevated in seven patients and CA 125 was elevated in 22 patients. A rise in serum CA 125 always was associated with disease progression. In comparison, serum copper fluctuation did not correlate with the natural history of the malignancy. We concluded that serum copper determination has no use in epithelial ovarian carcinoma management.

ABSTRACT: A woman had six independent neoplasms. In reviewing the world literature, no case report was found of a patient with carcinomas of the skin, cecum, kidney, ovaries (bilateral, independent and synchronous) and endometrium.

This might be better asked in the 50+ forum but as I'm no where near that age..
Note: Of course it is up to my cardiologist and all those other dr folks I know but it doesn't hurt to check around in the public.
Anyone here riding or know anyone riding post heart valve replacement? I've been thinking no but I figured I'd ask just in case. Of course to compound the issue I'll be having both a aortic root and an aortic valve replacement. Cartoonish image of pre-post surgery. i.e. not the one in google images that made me just hurl a little when I saw it. I'm not talking 200k or 400k or even 100ks or hills, which I've retired from now even though my cardiologist said it would be fine for now unless things got worse. I'm talking the local Mup and stuff. This would also explain my huge drop off in miles and putting 0's in the spinner saturday for the entire year
I was looking around and look I could go to New Zealand on that vacation I always wanted and have surgery there

Welcome to the Official Site of Author Zee Angle!
New Release!
When Stephanie claims to have seen her dead lover watching her from a distance, her friends begin to wonder about her mental state after her harrowing ordeal last year. But Stephanie isn't daunted by their reactions. Headstrong and independent as always, she goes it alone determined to find him...or at least find evidence of him having been there. And she'll go to great lengths to meet that end. But what Stephanie doesn't yet realize is that she's not at all prepared for what she's about to discover...and maybe...that which died...is better left dead.
Cantankerous is a term he would have applied to a bull, not to himself. Yet, Jack had become cantankerous. There was no denying it. Torn between a past and a future, and entangled in his "old-school" ways, Jack had become a tormented man. He needed to sever the past before he could pursue the future, and he didn't quite know how to go about it. But then he remembered the PI Graydon hired. If this PI could find his wife, he'd get the divorce he needed and pursue the woman he realized he had loved his whole life. But he never figured he'd have to compete with a ghost.

Erasing Deathby Sam Parnia
Contrary to popular belief, death isnot a moment in time, such as whenthe heart stops beating, respirationceases, or the brain stops functioning. Death,rather, is a process--a process that can beinterrupted well after it has begun. Innovativetechniques, such as drastically reducing thepatient's body temperature, have proven to beeffective in revitalizing both the body andmind, but studies show they are only employedin approximately half of the hospitalsthroughout the United States and Europe. In Erasing Death, Dr. Sam Parnia presentscutting-edge research from the front line ofcritical care and resuscitation medicine thathas enabled modern doctors to routinelyreverse death, while also shedding light onthe ultimate mystery: what happens to humanconsciousness during and after death. Parniareveals how medical discoveries focused onsaving lives have also inadvertently raised thepossibility that some form of "afterlife" maybe uniquely ours, as evidenced by the continuationof the human mind and psyche in thefirst few hours after death. Questions aboutthe "self" and the "soul" that were oncerelegated to theology, philosophy, or evenscience fiction are now being examined afreshaccording to rigorous scientific research. With physicians such as Parnia at the forefront,we are on the verge of discovering a new universalscience of consciousness that reveals thenature of the mind and a future where death isnot the final defeat, but is in fact reversible.

Thanks to all of you who asked me to accept your invitation. I´m very happy and honoured that you want to connect with me. Briefly who I am I live in the south part of Sweden, in the country side, together with my common law husband. The big interest of ours is old things from the 50´s and 60´s from cars (chevy 60´s) to furniture,clothes etc. Besides that, I´ve many interests. Nature, flowers, knitting, sewing, reading, music and sometimes I play my guitar and sing a song. Now and then I sing and play with my two daughters 27 and soon 25 years old, when they come to see us. My set of values is in the field of humanity and ethics. Empathy, reliability and honesty are very important. Briefly what I´ve been doing I´ve been working in the health care sector and for 14 years in occupational therapy. My duty was to rehabilitate people so that they would be able to manage their daily activities physically, mentally and/or socially. Partly I used music as a tool and became interested in cognitive neuro psychology when I realized that people who couldn´t talk were able to sing words and the ones who couldn´t walk were able to move their feet with the pace of the rhytm of my guitar. That led me to consciousness studies at the university. For 4 years I studied neuroscience, philosophy and related sciences. After ending my studies I started teaching swedish for foreigners and also in that profession I used the music for pronunciaton and lexicon as well as for grammar teaching. Meanwhile I was introduced to network marketing and a company in the wellness industry. I thought that this was a good income opportunity that everyone can work with. I still think it´s a good idea and there are many good MLM busiensses. Because there are many and there is a growing market, I think the key is to find a company with: ¤ the right products for you ¤ good support, teamwork and cooperation ¤ growth and ambition ¤ good compensation plan ¤ and of course good ethics and optimal to be engaged in charity During the years I´ve got good friends in different businesses and I love to introduce people to them if they have what is asked, if not my business is the right. I hope this is the way we can work more and more, cooperation across company borders. For possible cooperation is mutual integrity and responsiveness of important properties. In my opinion,a good team is synergistic in the way that the whole is bigger than the sum of the parts. For any question please send me an e-mail. email@example.com Thank you for taking the time to read!

GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies
Volume 6, Number 4, 2000
pp. 491-527
GLQ: A Journal of Lesbian and Gay Studies 6.4 (2000)
The Chilean poet, educator, and Nobel laureate Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957) is an example of a Latin American queer intellectual who was instrumental in instituting sexual and racial normativity through nationalist discourse. This article expands the scope of the inquiry into Mistral's sexual identity by examining her status as "race woman," a public position that she fiercely claimed, as opposed to any public nonnormative sexual stance.
Within the Latin American public, Mistral upheld the heterosexual matrix. But was her queerness completely out of public view? Certainly, Mistral alluded to reproductive sexuality every time she spoke of race. She consistently portrayed herself as the spokesperson of Latin America -- which she referred to as "our race" [nuestra raza]--posing as the mixed-race mother of the nation. Mistral devoted many prose pieces to the subject of a Latin American unified culture achieved through individual and social reproduction. Well known for her defense of the indigenous peoples of Latin America, she frequently and vigorously alluded to the process of mestizaje.
Through the stance of race woman Mistral aided the state in managing Latin America's racially heterogeneous populations, regarded as a problem since the Wars of Independence. Both publicly and privately she addressed topics ranging from the classification and hierarchical ordering of racial "mixings" to the status of black Latin Americans in nationalist discourse, from desirable mestizaje in the Latin American territory to dangerous mestizaje beyond the watchful purview of the state.
It is tempting to separate Mistral's sexual and racial identities, envisioning one as private and the other as public, one secret and the other on strident display. Typically, the quandary of a subject such as Mistral is to be analyzed one identity at a time. The story of her romantic life is separated from the story of her public career, even as her public figure unfolds in accordance with the narrative of republican motherhood. Salacious attention to the invented details of her private existence meshes happily with a hagiographic view of her role in world affairs. But to understand Mistral's complexity more fully, it is useful to view her private and public identities less as discrete chunks of self and more as spliced and interdependent.
Examining the intersection of race and sexuality in Mistral is vital in more senses than one. Dispelling myths about her is important, but understanding a mythology put at the service of the state is critical. Both racial mixing (collective sexuality) and Mistral's ambiguous sexuality (seen as a private affair) involve the social demarcation of acceptable and unacceptable sex; in both instances, sex is coded as reproduction. In the state project that Mistral helped articulate, reproduction meant not only maximizing women's bodies to produce fit laborers and manage productive, patriarchal, heterosexual families but also establishing and enforcing the parameters of who belonged, racially speaking, in the nation. This was true of the restricted sense of the emerging nation-state--what is a Chilean? who can be considered a Mexican?--and of the expansive, indeed massive, sense of Americanism [latinoamericanismo]. Enforcing the stricture of belonging entailed a submerged but no less potent role for Mistral's "silent" sexuality. As I have discussed elsewhere, the language of reproduction and child care functions as a kind of closet that paradoxically has made public what was to remain private. In the more far-reaching context of public or collective sexuality, Mistral deploys the same language to draw a firm, frequently onerous line of national belonging. Elucidating the connection between her queerness and the racial discourse she successfully deployed is the goal of this article.
An intersectional analysis reveals that Mistral's symbolic heterosexuality was meant to guarantee or benefit not heterosexuality per se (i.e., not all heterosexuals equally) but a particular heterosexuality, tailored to the state's project. Mistral offered her own body as the representation of an entire race -- a race created from an invented tradition. But how could a woman who bore no biological children for the race, who was always coupled with women, become the lasting symbol of the national mother? Her lived sexuality did not coincide with the...

Drinking purple grape or cloudy apple juice reduces the risk of heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer's more than orange, grapefruit or pineapple juice, scientists say.
Researchers who have carried out the first comprehensive analysis of the antioxidant content of fruit juices concluded some varieties have substantially greater health benefits than others.
The scientists from the University of Glasgow studied 13 different brands of fruit juices from a local supermarket, measuring the number and overall levels of polyphenols - antioxidants that reduce the production of harmful chemicals called free radicals.
The top five juices for polyphenol content were Welch's Purple Grape. Copella Cloudy Apple, Tropicana Tropical Fruit, Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Drink and Pomegreat Pomegranate Juice Drink.
The drink with the lowest polyphenol content was Tesco's Own Brand White Grape.
The purple grape juice is made with Concord grapes. It was found to contain 26 different polyphenol compounds and had the highest overall levels.
Alan Crozier, Professor of Plant Biochemistry and Human Nutrition at the University of Glasgow, who led the study, said: "Supplementing a healthy diet with a regular intake of a variety of fruit juices such as purple grape juice, grapefruit juice, cloudy apple juice and cranberry juice, will, without major dietary changes, increase the consumer's intake of phenolic antioxidants.''
The research was published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry.

It's March, and that means it's almost time for March Madness, the big college basketball tournaments. Before everyone goes crazy trying to figure out the brackets for the men's tournament, let's take a look at women's college hoops.
In the past two years, the women's NCAA tournament has been easy to predict. The University of Connecticut dominated women's basketball by winning a record 90 games in a row and the championships in 2009 and 2010.
This year might not be so simple. The Huskies, led by three-time all-American Maya Moore, are still ranked No. 1 in the country. But they have some serious challengers.
Stanford: The Cardinal snapped Connecticut's winning streak back in December when they beat the Huskies, 71-59. Stanford lost two games early in the season but stormed through PAC-10 Conference play undefeated. Led by senior do-everything guard Jeanette Pohlen and junior forward Nnemkadi Ogwumike, Stanford should be tough.
Baylor: The Lady Bears have a game-changer in 6-foot-8-inch center Brittney Griner. The All-American sophomore scores more than 22 points a game and grabs almost eight rebounds. But where Griner makes the biggest difference is on defense. With her amazing 88-inch wingspan (the measurement of fingertip to fingertip when your arms are extended), Griner blocks almost five shots a game and intimidates anyone who comes close to the Baylor basket. As long as Baylor has Griner, the team has a chance to beat anyone.
Tennessee: The Lady Vols ripped through the regular season in the Southeastern Conference undefeated, beating their opponents by an average of 24 points a game. Tennessee has plenty of on-court talent. But their not-so-secret weapon is Hall of Fame coach Pat Summitt. Now in her 37th season coaching, Summitt has won more than 1,000 games and eight NCAA championships. She would love to win her ninth this year.
Local teams: Maryland and Georgetown have been ranked in the Top 20 most of the year, so they should be invited to play in the NCAA tournament even if they don't win their conference tournaments. Maryland knocked off Duke recently, and Georgetown upset Tennessee earlier in the season, so they are the real deal.
Still, I don't expect either of the local favorites to get to the Final Four. Maryland is a bit young; there are no seniors on the roster. Georgetown doesn't have enough good players to make a long tournament run. That's too bad, because I love the name of Georgetown's leading scorer: Sugar Rodgers.
Still, don't hand the NCAA trophy to Connecticut just yet. The NCAA women's tournament will be very interesting.
