Child Safety: Child Safe Blinds & Shades
- Ensures the safest room for children
- Avoids unnecessary injuries and clutter
- An array of child and pet friendly styles
- Pick cordless operation for low heights
- Pick motorized for tall heights
Blindsgalore supports the Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) in providing window treatments that meet the highest standards in cord safety to avoid any unwanted injuries or mishaps. The WCSC recommends that blinds and shades be equipped with a cordless option or for ease and extra protection. Blindsgalore recommends a motorized blind or shade for the utmost safety. If the location or large size of the window prevents a cordless selection, the WCSC approves a continuous cord loop. This option features a clutch-assisted lift with a looped cord that is anchored to the wall and remains the same length regardless of the position of the shade. Cordless window treatments are really the smart choice for all of your blinds and shades.

"great blinds"

"Super Easy Installation!"
By Katie from Fairfax, VA
I'm a single mom and not a super 'handy' person. I can do some basic house up keep so I was nervous to order and install myself. They arrived really fast AND I was able to EASILY install these! The instructions were simple and once the first blind went up (took about 10 minutes) the other 2 went up just even faster! I did use drywall anchors to make sure they stayed in place but that was the only thing I changed. I LOVE the top down feature so I can let in light and not have the neighbors peeking in as they go by :) I highly recommend these blinds and would order from Blinds Galore again!!View this product

Many ISPs now block external email ports to stem the tide against SPAM. IE, they may block ports 25 and 110 from reaching outside of their network except to from their servers. This may break a person's ability to pick up email from office or school email servers.
No fix is planned since the spammers would take advantage of it.
My daughter is visiting a friend and they have SBC Yahoo DSL connected to SBCYahoo wireless access point/router. She can't access her school's server when she tries to get/sent mail.
Anybody knows how SBC Yahoo sets up their routers?
She has no problems at other places just at the location.

Good company to deal with, unfortunately the scarf was too dark in colour when it arrived so had to return it.
From: victoria BC Canada
I LOVE fur. Years ago I had a coyote coat (lived in Winnipeg and walked to work in the winter) and I wore that coat right out. This boa scarf works beautifully with winter cloth coats. Use it instead of a necklace with dresses and sweaters! Coyote fur is so rich looking and flattering to almost any skin tone. My only wish is that the ties were black rather than brown. But I can easily change them. Furhatworld's website it easy to use and delivery was fast and reasonably priced.

Journal of Korean Studies
Volume 17, Number 2, Fall 2012
pp. 407-414 | 10.1353/jks.2012.0021
Any Koreanist who has visited South Korea since its democratic transition in the 1980s will comment on the rapid pace of social change. In the East Asia region, only the dramatic rise of China can overshadow the transformation of South Korea, and when I was conducting fieldwork in South Korea, Koreans often told me in 2011-12 that "South Korea developed in fifty years, while Japan took one hundred." Recent academic research across disciplines highlights these changes, with a large volume of work devoted to South Korea's recent "neoliberal" turn and uneasy "multicultural" demographic shifts. This review essay is intended to provide an introduction to three manuscripts with significant ethnographic elements, one an under-reviewed ethnography from 2005 (Prendergast) and two published in the last year (Kim and Song, both 2011). These three works are valuable resources for the student of contemporary South Korea, presenting accessible introductions to topics of current concern. Prendergast provides rich ethnographic context for national anxiety over the South Korean transition to "graying society" status, Kim discusses the evolving multiculturalism of South Korea, and Song's edited volume guides the reader through various iterations of neoliberalism in South Korea since the early 2000s.
David Prendergast's From Elder to Ancestor joins a small number of other English-language book-length ethnographic works of the last decade to focus on the lives of Koreans outside of the megacity of Seoul. These works include Robert Oppenheim's Kyŏngju Things (2008) and parts of Choong Soon Kim's Voices of Foreign Brides (2011). Prendergast conducted his fieldwork in the rural county of Puan in North Chŏlla Province in 1999-2000, collecting material through forty case studies of elderly residents and their families, using interviews and participant-observation in life events, as well as drawing upon census and other official data. Thus in the selection of a field site, Prendergast's ethnography appears at first glance to resemble more "classic" ethnographies of rural South Korea in the 1980s and into the 1990s rather than the often multi-sited, urban ethnographies produced since the turn of the millennium. However, like Oppenheim, Prendergast skillfully relates processes taking place in a specific locale to those of South Korea as a whole, simultaneously reminding readers that Seoul does not represent all of South Korea, and that processes that seem locally bound affect the national body. Although several studies have addressed the emptying of the South Korean countryside during postwar industrialization, as young men and women left rural areas for cities, few have sufficiently addressed those that remained in the countryside and the migration chains and kinship networks between countryside, provincial cities, and Seoul.
In his first two chapters Prendergast aligns his theoretical and methodological framework with the "new kinship/family studies" literature and the turn from "official kinship" (mapping and delineating family structure) to "practical kinship" (the way kinship networks operate "on the ground," p. 6). The first chapter includes a review not only of the literature that informs his theoretical argument but also of previous scholarship on the Korean family specifically. Prendergast rejects the "developmental progression" or "binary categories" approaches to family in South Korea, and East Asia more broadly, stating that "[t]he core questions of this book have been forged from a dissatisfaction with how kinship relations are represented in the heated, enduring arguments about individualization and family change in East Asia, Europe and America" (p. 12). He provides more concrete examples of his approach in chapter 2, which lays out background information on the field site of Puan and the strengths and limitations of the study.
Three early chapters of the book provide an introduction to the structural considerations of kinship that guide care of the elderly in South Korea, consider retirement and residence, and gender dynamics within marriage and its bearing on elder care. Prendergast notes an important structural difference between South Korea and most other societies with which readers will be familiar, namely, that "children in Korea have not only a moral duty but also a legal duty to provide for their aged parents should there be a need" (p. 45). Although the South Korean government has established a more extensive national welfare program in...

Contains magnesium stearate, which keeps the product from sticking to machinery during processing. I don't like that. I stopped using this calcium since I learned that it is safer to get calcium from a more natural source. I started juicing organic kale, broccoli and spinach and have noticed this is better than supplementing. Bottle is glass so be careful where you store it. Seems that if you do want to use this product that it is priced well on iherb.

Perfect ratio of calcium to magnesium. Easy to swallow, but drink a lot of water to wash it down to insure that the capsule opens in your stomach, not in your esophagus.

Best Pho (2008)
Thien An
What sets one pho apart from another? Quite simply, the broth. The longer it's cooked, the more profound the flavor, and here they start the broths early so that by lunch, they've been simmering for quite a while. Thien An has all of the traditional cuts of beef, steak, brisket, flank steak — both standard and fatty versions — tripe, tendon and, of course, meat balls, which can be added to any of the above at a small cost. All of the meats sit atop thin noodles and come with trimmings like fresh basil, jalapeño and bean sprouts. If you hit this spot at just the right time, your slurping will be drowned out by the slurping of others — so you won't feel embarrassed at all.

BP Sells North Sea Forties Crude; Elgin-Franklin Fields Restart
BP Plc sold a cargo of North Sea Forties crude to Royal Dutch Shell Plc. Total SA restarted its Elgin-Franklin oil and natural-gas fields after the Elgin platform was halted yesterday because of a technical fault.
Indian Oil Corp., the country's biggest refiner, issued a tender seeking to buy low-sulfur crude oil loading in December.
North Sea
Forties crude traded from BP to Shell for Oct. 20 to Oct. 22 loading, according to a survey of traders and brokers monitoring the Platts trading window. The consignment was sold at a premium of 60 cents a barrel to the cash cost of North Sea crudes for November. That compares with BP's offers yesterday for late-October Forties shipments at premiums of $1.11, 96 cents and 97 cents a barrel.
Reported North Sea trading typically occurs during the Platts window, which ends at 4:30 p.m. London time. Before the window, Forties loading in 10 to 21 days was at 71 cents a barrel more than Dated Brent, down from 95 cents yesterday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Brent for November settlement traded at $105.87 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange at the close of the window, up from $103.23 yesterday. The December contract was at $104.19 a barrel, $1.68 less than November.
Total said its North Sea Elgin-Franklin oil and gas fields started after a fault halted production.
"Elgin-Franklin restarted this morning and we are now ramping back up to normal production levels," Brian O'Neill, an Aberdeen, Scotland-based company spokesman, said in an e-mail.
OAO Lukoil's trading unit Litasco failed to buy a 100,000-metric ton cargo of Russian Urals crude in northwest Europe at a $1 discount to Dated Brent.
The last offer for the grade in the Mediterranean was on Oct. 5, when Shell didn't manage to sell an 80,000 metric-ton shipment at a discount of 50 cents a barrel to Dated Brent, the survey of Platts showed.
OMV AG booked a 1 million-barrel oil tanker to sail from Libya to Italy in mid-October, according to four shipbroker reports. The Vienna-based energy company, which is the largest in Central Europe, hired the Valtamed to ship crude from Libya to Trieste, Italy, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The vessel, scheduled to load on Oct. 15, was chartered for the cross-Mediterranean voyage at a rate of 95 industry-standard Worldscale points, Athens-based Optima Shipbrokers Ltd. said in a report yesterday. Optima didn't specify the ship's cargo.
West Africa
Indian Oil Corp. sought to buy crude for December, according to official documents obtained by Bloomberg News. Last month, the company bought 7 million barrels of West African crude for loading in November via two tenders.
Nigerian benchmark Qua Iboe was at a $3.58 a barrel premium to Dated Brent, compared with $3.63 yesterday, Bloomberg data showed.

The Walt Disney Company: Stop the licensing of insulting, racist Tonto products
The Halloween costume market has begun. Costume elements based on the ridiculous Tonto character in the recent Disney film, have begun to appear on websites such as this one: http://www.partycity.com/product/deluxe+tonto+raven+headband.do?producttargetid=538235&gclid=CLG2yKDDkrkCFSJqMgod7hcAhw.
These products perpetuate racist stereotypes of Native Americans. We are not a Halloween Costume! Disney's loss on the terrible Lone Ranger film should not be made up by licensing products insulting to native people.

When President Ronald Reagan spoke to the Ecumenical Prayer Breakfast in Dallas, Texas, on Aug. 23, 1984, he stressed the important role religion plays in the Church and in the state. And he warned against diminishing the former to increase the latter by suggesting "the city of man cannot long survive without the city of God."
Reagan was concerned that the country was allowing its religious heritage to slip away. And his words have never been more relevant in light of the numerous attacks upon religious freedom today.
Speaking to those gathered at the breakfast, Reagan said:
Those who created our country -- the Founding Fathers and Mothers -- understood that there is a divine order which transcends the human order. They saw the state, in fact, as a form of moral order and felt that the bedrock of moral order is religion.
The president then explained the danger of leaving religion unguarded. He cited Supreme Court decisions from the 1960s that struck down not only compulsory, but voluntary, prayer and the reading of the Bible in public schools.
He said these decisions weakened the protection of religion in the United States, and when this became evident, those eager to undermine the First Amendment began to shoot their arrows and lob their spears:
Once religion had been made vulnerable, a series of assaults were made in one court after another, on one issue after another. Cases were started to argue against tax-exempt status for churches. Suits were brought to abolish the words "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance and to remove "In God We Trust" from public documents and from our currency.
Even as Reagan spoke, the pressure for even more limitations on religious exercise was building. So Reagan tried to bridge the gap by explaining that there is no way to sever the religious life from the rest of life and continue unabated. He understood what many in high places today do not—that the rest of an ordered civic life depends on the religious for its substance:
A state is nothing more than a reflection of its citizens; the more decent the citizens, the more decent the state. If you practice a religion, whether you're Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, or guided by some other faith, then your private life will be influenced by a sense of moral obligation, and so, too, will your public life. One affects the other.
Then Reagan applied these things by letting audience know where America would end up without God:
Alan Sears, a former federal prosecutor in the Reagan Administration, is president and CEO of the Alliance Defending Freedom, a legal alliance employing a unique combination of strategy, training, funding, and litigation to protect and preserve religious liberty, the sanctity of life, marriage, and the family.

B) get one of those ph up or ph down items from API which is dicey to say the least and that's a gradual drop any way you slice it. Also not a good idea.
C) get a peat insert but again you'd need to keep a close eye, and even if you get the ph where you want to and take it out when you do a WC you'll have to put it back in again...(also not a good idea)
Neither of these above ideas to me because i think it'd be too much stress on any fish, no matter where you live.
And anyhow my fish are all adjusted to it, why would I want to change it LOL.
Still love that color on the Neon, too bad you won't be able to keep it yourself.

Our work in Niger is far from over. We continue to see food shortages and malnutrition that affect not only individual families and villages, but the entire country. That being said, keeping people alive remains our top priority, and our teams are dedicated to making this happen.
Thanks to you, we were able to do some incredible life-saving work in Niger:
As 2013 progresses, we will continue these successful efforts to eradicate malnutrition. Plus, because of your donation, we have been able to start a new program to address food security in Niger. We are now working in the regions of Maradi and Zinder – where malnutrition is highest for children under five, and particularly for children under age two. This program is especially important for women and girls, too. In our nutrition education classes, they learn how to diversify their food sources, and how to stay healthy during pregnancies. They also learn new ways to generate income, and diversify food production to feed their families.
Because of your contribution we are able to keep moving forward with our emergency relief and long-term programs in Niger. Your support has touched many lives and you have brought hope to one of the world's toughest places.
Please check out our website for more information.

Air Force Likely To Seek 20 Additional F-22s
It looks like the Air Force will request at least 20 more F-22 Raptors, and the tide may be turning to get even more, service Secretary Michael W. Wynne told Air Force Magazine.
"The way the Joint Strike Fighter is going, we may yet need another tranche of F-22s simply to continue to bridge the gap and make sure the President has a fifth generation fighter line available for expansion if he needs it," Wynne maintained. The F-22 is being bought at 20 airplanes a year through 2009.
"It looks to me like that argument could take us at least into '10 and ... get you some deliveries in the '12-'13 time frame," he added. That would get close to overlapping the F-35 production at the current schedule.
Wynne confessed that, given the stellar performance of the F-22 in recent wargames, "I don't know what the total quantity required is," even though USAF has verified 381 as its hard requisite. However, he noted that he sees "a growing consensus that 183 doesn't give you the breadth you might need."

I think ~350 would suffice for any eventuality, given that we would have to take about ~30 for training and the rest for attrition, testing, demos, airframe losses etc... That would leave us with around 300 combat ready Raptors. Currently do to our limited buy of only 183 each F-22 squadron consists of only 20 Raptors (18 Active, 2 Attrition). Ideally each squadrons should have 26 jets, (24 Active, 2 Attrition). If we go by this standard 300 Raptors translates roughly into 11 active squadrons.

Arrgh!!! Sorry for the off topic post (I am interested by the topic though)
But it's Rogue!
Not rouge! Rouge is a shade of Red!
Or is a rouge nation a slightly commie nation, but not gone all the way? So instead of Pinko-commies, it's now rouge?
EDIT: Sorry for the impromptu spelling lesson, but I've seen it so many times misspelt on here that I cracked....

Continuing with my tradition of creating the last day's poem from comments in my spam queue. There is something weirdly poetic in the wording and syntax of the spam posts, so I go through them and pull out the phrases that amuse me and string them together into a… well… keep reading.

Regardless of what anyone here believes about what is going on "behind the scenes", we should still individually make the choice to lead by example and display compassion and concern... and dare I say LOVE OUR ENEMIES.
What is so hard about that concept to grasp? Of course it's not easy to put into practice, but then nothing worthwhile is ever going to be "easy".

General Discussion
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) belong to a group of cancers known as soft tissue sarcomas. The number of new cases in the United States annually has been estimated to be 5,000-6,000. Tumors usually arise from the intestinal tract with the most common site being the stomach, followed by the small intestine, and then the colon/rectum with rare cases arising in the esophagus. There are also tumors that appear to arise in the membranous tissue lining the wall of the stomach (peritoneum) or in a fold of such membranous tissue (the omentum). There are also case reports of tumors arising in the appendix and/or pancreas. These tumors most commonly present with abdominal pain, bleeding or signs of intestinal obstruction. They spread most commonly to sites within the abdominal cavity and to the liver, although there are rare cases of spread to the lungs and bone. Some GISTs are noncancerous (benign) and do not spread (indolent); others are aggressive with extensive local invasion as well as distant metastases. Most cases result from a change (mutation) in one of two genes, KIT or PDGFR, which leads to continued growth and division of tumor cells. There are a few reported cases of families in which a gene mutation is inherited; however, the majority of tumors occur randomly for no apparent reason (sporadically) and not inherited (acquired mutation). Most cases arise in older adults.
Approximately 10-15% of cases of GIST in adults and 85% of cases in children are not associated with mutations in either the KIT or PDGFR genes. These cases are known as wild type GISTs and are sometimes grouped together under the umbrella term pediatric-like GIST. They may be associated with other genes or have no identifiable gene mutation.
GISTs were initially believed to be a single entity, but recent research has shown that there are several molecular subtypes with different characteristics including different prognoses, clinical symptoms, and different associated genes. that respond differently to various treatment options. Broadly, GISTs are classified as a soft tissue sarcoma. Sarcomas are malignant tumors that arise from the connective tissue, which connects, supports, and surrounds various structures and organs in the body. Soft tissue includes fat, muscle, nerves, tendons, and blood and lymph vessels.
The most common site of origin is in the stomach (39-70%), often presenting with pain, GI bleeding and/or a mass that can be seen or felt (palpable). GI bleeding can lead to anemia, which can lead to paleness, lightheadedness, and fatigue. Other symptoms may include a vague feeling of abdominal discomfort, a feeling of abdominal fullness or bloating, or feeling full sooner than normal after eating (early satiety). Other primary sites are the small intestine (31-45%), colon and rectum (10-16%), and mesentery (membranous folds that attach various organs to the body wall) or membranous lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) (8%). Patients presenting with tumors of the small intestine may also experience weight loss, fever, abscess, and/or urinary symptoms. There are rare cases presenting in the lowest third of the esophagus causing difficulty with swallowing and weight loss.
The primary site of the tumor may be a prognostic factor with small intestinal GISTs having a poorer survival than those originating in the stomach. In addition, intestinal location has been correlated with a high risk of spread (metastases). GISTs can also arise in the omentum and mesentery, not in association with a component of the gastrointestinal tract. Tumors present as large masses; some appear to develop in association with cysts.
Approximately 80-85% of GISTs are limited to one site upon diagnosis. GISTs spread most commonly to sites within the abdominal cavity and to the liver, although there are rare cases that have spread to the lungs and bone. GISTs rarely spread to the lymph nodes.
GISTs are extremely rare in children and adolescents. The symptoms and pathology of GISTs in these age groups is different from these tumors in most adults. Generally, pediatric GISTs present in the stomach, affect girls more often than boys, and usually are not associated with mutations in the KIT or PDGFR genes (wild type GIST). In addition, pediatric cases are more likely to show lymph node involvement and more likely to spread to the liver and abdomen. Usually, these tumors are more indolent than adult GISTs.
Initially, it was believed that age was a determining factor in the differences between cases of GIST in adults and children. However, some adult cases with wild type GIST share the distinct characteristic findings found in most pediatric cases. Thus, separating these cases based on age is unwarranted. Collectively, these cases are known as under the umbrella designation, pediatric-like GIST.
Also included in this umbrella category are cases associated with neoplastic syndromes such as Carney triad (gastric GISTs, paragangliomas, and pulmonary chondromas) and Carney-Stratakis syndrome (GISTs and familial paraganglioma).
There is no exposure or infection that is known to predispose to GISTs. It is known that the majority of tumors will have mutations in the KIT gene, and a minority, in the PDGFR gene. There are common sites for mutations. For the KIT gene, the most common mutation site is in exon 11, but can also involve exon 9, 13, and 17. Mutations in the PDGFR gene involve exon 12 or 18. Exon refers to the region of a gene that contains the code for producing the gene's protein. Each of these mutations is on the long arm of chromosome 4 (4q12).
Chromosomes, which are present in the nucleus of human cells, carry the genetic information for each individual. Human body cells normally have 46 chromosomes. Pairs of human chromosomes are numbered from 1 through 22 and the sex chromosomes are designated X and Y. Males have one X and one Y chromosome and females have two X chromosomes. Each chromosome has a short arm designated "p" and a long arm designated "q". Chromosomes are further sub-divided into many bands that are numbered. For example, "chromosome 4q12" refers to band 12 on the long arm of chromosome 4. The numbered bands specify the location of the thousands of genes that are present on each chromosome.
Current research suggests that abnormalities of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which is the carrier of the body's genetic code, are the underlying basis for cellular malignant transformation. In individuals with cancer, malignancies most often develop due to abnormalities in the structure of genes within the nuclei of cells known as "oncogenes" or "tumor suppressor genes." Oncogenes control cell growth; tumor suppressor genes control cell division and ensure that cells die at the proper time. The KIT and PDGFR genes are oncogenes. Mutations of these genes lead to unrestricted growth of cancer cells. Most of these genetic mutations are acquired during life, are found only in cancer cells, and are not passed on to an affected individual's children. A few families with inherited mutations of the KIT gene have been described. They have early onset of GISTs in adolescence or young adulthood. Some families have altered skin pigmentation or difficult swallowing (dysphagia). At least one family has been described with an inherited mutation of the PDGFR gene. Inherited cases are extremely rare and are known as familial GIST.
Familial GIST is believed to be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Genetic diseases are determined by the combination of genes for a particular trait that are on the chromosomes received from the father and the mother. Dominant genetic disorders occur when only a single copy of an abnormal gene is necessary for the appearance of the disease. The abnormal gene can be inherited from either parent, or can be the result of a new mutation (gene change) in the affected individual. The risk of passing the abnormal gene from affected parent to offspring is 50% for each pregnancy regardless of the sex of the resulting child.
As stated above, wild type GISTs do not have mutations of the KIT or PDGFR genes. Some of these cases have been linked to genes involved in the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) enzyme complex (i.e. SDHA, SDHB, SDHC or SDHD genes). These genes create (encode) enzymes involved in the formation of succinate dehydrogenase. Many pediatric patients are referred to as succinate dehydrogenase deficient because they have low levels of this enzyme.
Additional genes have been linked to wild type GISTs including BRAF, KRAS, and NRAS mutations. Many cases are also associated with overexpression of insulin-like growth factor 1, although the significance of this finding is not fully understood. Some cases have no identifiable gene mutation suggesting that additional genes can cause GISTs.
GISTs can also occur as part of a larger cancer predisposition syndrome such as Carney-Stratakis syndrome (CSS) and Carney's triad. CSS is a genetic disorder that is believed to be caused by mutations in the genes of the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme complex. It is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. The exact, underlying cause of Carney triad is unknown. Individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1, a genetic disorder caused by mutations to the NF1 gene, are at a greater risk than the general population of developing a pediatric-like GIST, which usually presents as multiple tumors in the small intestine.
GISTs are believed to arise from specific cells known as interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) or the undifferentiated precursor cells that ultimately develop into these cells. ICCs are the "pacemaker" cells of the gastrointestinal tract and are critical for proper GI motility. They help to generate and maintain electrical rhythmic activity within the GI tract including the series of muscular contractions that help propel food through the digestive system (peristalsis).
Researchers have also discovered that most GISTs are positive for CD117, a characteristic marker or antigen found on the surface of cancer cells. The discovery of CD117 can aid in the diagnosis of GISTs and can be an important factor in developing new treatments.
Affected Populations
The typical patient with a GIST presents in the fifth to seventh decade of life, with some studies suggesting a male predominance. Children have also been found to present with GISTs. The disease in children may have a slower time course. Pediatric cases occur more often in females. There does not appear to be a link to a particular ethnic background. Individuals with familial GIST usually do not present with tumors until the mid-40s.
The exact incidence and prevalence of GISTs are unknown and estimates vary ranging from 9-19 people per 1 million in the general population. GISTs are the most common sarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract, but are estimated to account for only .1-3% of all gastrointestinal cancers.
Related Disorders
Leiomyosarcomas of the intestinal tract arise in a similar location and can be confused with GIST. Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant (cancerous) tumor that arises from smooth muscle cells. There are essentially two types of muscles in the body - voluntary and involuntary. Smooth muscles are involuntary muscles - the brain has no conscious control over them. Smooth muscles react involuntarily in response to various stimuli. For example, smooth muscle that lines the walls of the digestive tract causes wave-like contractions (peristalsis) that aid in the digestion and transport of food. Smooth muscles in the salivary glands cause the glands to squirt saliva into the mouth in response to taking a bite of food. Smooth muscle in the skin causes goose bumps to form in response to cold. Leiomyosarcoma usually spreads via the bloodstream. It is very rare to see it in lymphatics. Since smooth muscle is found all over the body, a leiomyosarcoma can form almost anywhere where there are blood vessels, heart, liver, pancreas, genitourinary and gastrointestinal tract, the space behind the abdominal cavity (retroperitoneum), uterus, skin. The uterus is the most common location for a leiomyosarcoma. Most leiomyosarcomas of the gastrointestinal tract are now reclassified as GISTs. The exact cause of leiomyosarcoma, including uterine leiomyosarcoma, is unknown. (For more information on these tumors, choose "leiomyosarcoma" as your search term in the Rare Disease Database.)
Standard Therapies
Diagnosis can be by biopsy. Some tumors are diagnosed by endoscopy. The use of endoscopic ultrasound for lesions in the stomach can be helpful as these tumors can be below the surface of the stomach. If tumors are larger than 2-3 cm, a biopsy suggesting a benign lesion should be interpreted with caution.
Most patients undergo computed tomography (CT) scans to determine the extent of the tumor involved. It is most important to image the abdomen and pelvis as the most common sites of spread are within the abdominal cavity and the liver. If patients complain of bone pain, a bone scan should be considered, to determine if there is disease in the bones. PET scanning has been shown to be a helpful additional test; however, at this time it is not routinely covered by insurance companies.
Tumors that are confined to one site without evidence of spread (localized) are treated by surgical removal. There is no clear benefit for radiation therapy after surgery for this type of sarcoma. Surgery can cure most patients if the tumor is completely removed.
Standard chemotherapies are not effective for this type of sarcoma, with a less than 5% response rate. Imatinib mesylate (Gleevec®), a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that inhibits the KIT or PDGRF proteins responsible for tumor growth, has been found to be very effective in controlling disease that has spread. The majority of patients will have their tumors decrease in size or stabilize for many months. Although imatinib mesylate has been very effective at controlling disease, patients who have disease that has spread from the initial site (metastatic disease) rarely experience the complete disappearance of all disease. In addition, some individuals eventually develop resistance to imatinib mesylate. Surgery may be combined with imatinib mesylate to control metastatic disease.
Gleevec, which is manufactured by Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation, was granted accelerated approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of advanced or metastatic GIST in 2002. Imatinib is an oral drug that inhibits the function of both KIT and PDGFR proteins. It has been shown to have significant activity in patients with recurrent tumors.
A subsequent accelerated approval was received in 2008 for adjuvant use by patients with GIST who have potentially curative resection (surgical removal) of GIST tumors, but who are at increased risk for a recurrence. This accelerated approval program provided earlier patient access to Gleevec while the confirmatory clinical trials were being conducted. In 2008, regular approval for the metastatic GIST indication was also granted.
Gleevec was granted regular approval by the FDA in 2012 as a treatment for use in adult patients following surgical removal of CD117-positive gastrointestinal stromal tumors. There is an increase in overall patient survival when the drug is taken for 36 months rather than the standard 12 months of treatment.
In 2006, another tyrosine kinase inhibitor, known as sunitinib malate (Sutent®), was approved by the FDA for the treatment of GIST in individuals in whom the disease had progressed despite therapy with Gleevec or who cannot take Gleevec. Sutent appears to be particularly effective in certain individuals with wild type GIST. Sutent is manufactured by Pfizer Inc.
In 2013, a third type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor known as regorafenib (Stivarga®) was approved by the FDA for the treatment of GIST, specifically for individuals with advanced GIST that cannot be treated surgically and who no longer respond to other FDA-approved treatments (i.e. Gleevec and Sutent). Regorafenib is a multi-kinase inhibitor that blocks the activity of several enzymes that promote cancer growth.
Alternative approaches include treatments directed at sites of liver involvement. Embolization or chemoembolization are ways of decreasing blood supply to the tumor sites within the liver and can control disease for some time. Another approach called radiofrequency ablation uses localized radiation; this overcomes the problem of side effects from treating the whole liver with radiation, as normally the liver is very sensitive to radiation.
Investigational Therapies
Additional tyrosine kinase inhibitors are being studied for individuals with GIST including sorafenib, dasatinib, motesanib, nilotinib, masitinib, and crenolanib. These drugs differ in their ability to inhibit one or more tyrosine kinases. An inhibitor known dabrafenib that acts against the protein B-raf protein demonstrated prolonged antitumor activity in an individual with GIST associated with a mutation of the BRAF gene. More research is necessary to determine the long-term safety and effectiveness of these drugs and whether they have a role in the treatment of individuals with GIST.
GIST that are not associated with mutations in the KIT or PDGFR genes (i.e. wild type or pediatric-like GIST) do not respond effectively to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as Gleevec or Sutent. Researchers are studying other treatment avenues to find effective treatments for these types of GIST.

I have recently finished the first three seasons of the show, so I was wondering how the next three seasons (the second half) of the show would be. I figured this would be a nice way to figure it out.
Which half of Lost is better, the first one (S1-S3) or the second (S4-S6)?

Brave - Following the ghost lights by goddessnayaWatch
©2012-2016 goddessnaya
The scene is very very well done. I extremely love the costume and her hair looks perfect as Merida. The settings is also very fitting, as if this was exactly where Merida was led around the woods by the willow of the wisps. The willow of the wisps although, could make some little work on to to improve the colors. Making it look like its lighting up more may help to highlight them more, but it certainly looks great as it is. Lastly, the overall light within the photograph seems to need some contrast, but I certainly love this cosplay.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
8 out of 8 deviants thought this was fair.
I like the tone of feel for this. The only thing that throws me off is the flames...I think they could be slightly more realistic. But they do give a sifi like feel to the image. Not sure if they show up like that in the film since I haven't seen it. Other wise I like everything else.
That is good. Yea I bet if I start playing with the digital part of my photos again I do the same thing but it drive me nuts to make it more realistic. Someone told me they like me to add effects to these photos I took of them. The only thing by hand or even photo layering effects take a heck of a while. But if I do I sure to share here so I can see if I can also learn something from my development on the little hobby I once had for fun. Glad it helped and we see on the same page.
Ah~ x_X Ja I have the same problem~
My biggest problem so far is, to add realistic fire to photos, and I CAN'T find any good tutorials about it. *sigh*
But I think, in the end, we all keep improving ^^ We all started without any knowledge and if we keep going on and accept critique, we all will get better :3 I think, you'll be able to create some awesome effects ♥

yup, I mean I had to make an image of a friend laying down look like she was under water. I looked up water backgrounds and patterns till I found one that look as if it could fit. Faded it till I think it ok but I also had to add fog to give it that murky look. The jewelry was hard to add because it bright up on the photo. So with a lot of layers and image altering I finally got my friend to look like a mermaid. But I believe so too that we improve from our previous works. Thank you.
Sounds like it was pretty much work until you got the finished photo ^^"
Yea it was, but I mean when you try to take a different view of a photo and see something with in it to transform it to your view it would be work. That what I like about the creative idea of altering photos but I don't do it often because I don't get ideas for every photo I take hardly.
The ghost lights or wisps WISPS ARE AWESOEMEE
I still really love this photo! It's pure genius! Both of you should be very proud of yourselves you did a great job on this! It's lovely!
YESYESYES <3 This is exactly the cosplay picture I had in mind after watching the movie!! Amazing job!
oops! sorry anyway I'll apologize and refrase this. This is a very nice photo that you took. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Your cosplays are really good. You really rocked with your Merida costume really excellent job.
Sorry, but i think you forgot to read the explanation~
It`s not ME who cosplayed it! I'm a photograph
It`s not ME who cosplayed it! I'm a photograph
i love your Merida costume wig and the action you used<3

Flumotion Streaming Media Server Moves to Python 2.6
Flumotion, a free server for video and audio streaming over the Internet, was made compatible with Python 2.6 in version 0.6.1 .
Flumotion 0.6.0 was the first stable release in two years to offer new features, while version 0.6.1 that followed shortly thereafter fixed a number of bugs. Prominent among the new features is compatibility with Python 2.6, while Python 2.3 support has been dropped.
Some new enhancements went into the Flumotion HTTP server, which now allows remote seeking of MP4 files, much like Apache's mod_h264_streaming. The server is notified via the HTTP GET parameter start of the starting position in the media file. The new release provides a new GUI for the Playlist Producer component in the GTK administration interface. A new plugin was also added to set the bitrate for media files individually. A detailed list of changes is in the release notes.
Flumotion is under GPL and being developed by Fluendo. The software is in Fluendo's repositories specific to Fedora and Ubuntu package managers, with further details on the download webpage. Source code is also available, although Fluendo recommends not compiling from it as a general rule.

Origin: [Gael. craidhleag basket, creel.]
Creel is a town in the Sierra Tarahumara of the Mexican state of Chihuahua. It is the second-largest town in the municipality of Bocoyna. It is located some 175 kilometres to the southwest of the state capital, Chihuahua, Chih. At the census of 2005 it had a population of 5,338 inhabitants. Near Creel is Divisadero, perhaps the best-known overlook of the "Three Canyons" area of the Copper Canyon, as well as Basaseachic Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in Mexico. Creel was historically a logging town, although tourism has become the primary job source over the last 20 years. There are many hotels, restaurants and a number of tours down into the canyons and throughout the surrounding area.

Pork Hot Dish Recipe
This recipe is truly a winner...I know, because I once entered it in a contest and it took first prize! For our family of 10, this hot dish always worked well as a "meal in itself", and it's a perennial favorite at get-togethers with our relatives. Also, I often use it to give a warm welcome to new neighbors.
- 1 pound boneless pork, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup chopped sweet red or green pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 package (10 ounces) medium egg noodles, cooked and drained
- 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
- 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
- 1 can (16-1/2 ounces) cream-style corn
