Generation of beta-cells from hepatocytes
Type I diabetes is classified as a chronic disease because affected individuals can manage the condition by repeated insulin injection. However, a large number of patients eventually suffer from serious, life-threatening complications of their diabetic state, including blindness, kidney failure, amputation of limbs, heart disease, and stroke. Our goal is finding a cure for type I (and a severe form of type II) diabetes.
Recent transplantation of islets cells isolated from human cadavers into individuals with type 1 diabetes has shown that these patients became free from insulin-dependency for a significant period of time, raising the possibility that someday the disease may be cured by transplanting healthy, exogenous islet cells. However, the cadaver approach is hampered by severe limitations associated with the sourcing of sufficient tissue for the large pool of patients in need. We will never come close to obtaining enough islet cells to meet the demands of the over 1.5 million type 1 diabetics in the US using the present isolation methods. What is now required is an essentially unlimited supply of physiologically competent human islet cells.
Naturally, the current focus of diabetes research is directed towards generating replacement cells that can mimic the function of normal pancreatic b-cells. An approach attempted by many scientists has been to convert stem cells directly into b-cells in vitro. Despite efforts to date, the protocols currently available for driving the differentiation of ES cells into a pancreatic lineage are inefficient. In order to explore an alternative approach, we attempt to leverage the close developmental relatedness of liver and pancreas in designing a two-stage process to transform ES cells into b-cells. Since differentiating ES cells into liver cells appears to be somewhat simpler, human ES cells will be steered into the liver lineage first, and then to pancreas via directed expression of particular genes specific to pancreatic development.
This approach has several advantages. First, available methods for differentiating ES cells into liver are simpler and more efficient that those for pancreatic differentiation. Second, we have identified molecular factors involved whose activities show promise in assisting an in vitro conversion of liver to pancreas. Lastly, recently published pieces of evidence support the notion that a method including generation of b-cells from liver holds promise. If we are successful in our two-stage approach beginning with ES cells, we may even be able to identify liver cells within the body capable of being changed into insulin-producing cells. The significance of being able to use a diabetic's own liver tissue to generate b-cells for transplantation is that this would not only eliminate the risk of transplant rejection, but also alleviate concerns over potential tumor formation from use of ES cells.
Diabetes is the leading cause of the blindness, kidney failure, non-traumatic amputations in adults, and contributes significantly to rates of heart disease and stroke. Because the disease affects millions of people in so many different ways due to diabetic complications, diabetes is increasingly being referred to as the epidemic of the New Millennium. The disease (type I and type II) affects over 17 million people nationwide, with approximately 2 million of these in California, based on a 1992 report. Approximately 95% of the overall diabetic population suffers from type II diabetes with the remaining 5% having type I. The total number of diabetics in California is expected to double by the year 2020.
The adverse effects of diabetes disproportionately burden the elderly, women, and people of color, stemming from poor economic circumstances, genetic background, or both. Numbers In all groups are expected to rise in the future. The occurrence of juvenile diabetes (type I) is also increasing, with type I diabetes expected to strike 1 out of every 200 children by 2010. Therefore, for many of Californians, the question is not whether they will develop the disease, but when its symptoms will begin to have major negative impacts on their lives.
The diabetes-related costs to the nation in terms of medical expenses, disability payments, lost work, and premature mortality is currently more than $100 billion, with California's share of this cost at approximately $12 billion. There are over 300,000 diabetes-related hospitalizations in California each year, at annual cost of $3.4 billion (data from Diabetes Prevention and Control Program). Clearly, diabetes has a major negative impact on California's economy. A cure for diabetes would allow physicians to radically improve the quality of patients' lives while significantly relieving stress upon the economy by simultaneously reducing medical costs and improving productivity at the work place. The overall positive effects from a cure for diabetes upon society are immeasurable.

John Fund has a good piece on the coming "doc fix" fight. The 'doc fix' comes from a congressional mandate cutting the amount of money doctors are paid for treating medicare patients.

The court was filled with spectators, along with the families and friends of all those involved in the case, who were waiting anxiously for the verdict to be read.

Secrets of Success
Still lurking...
Sunday, December 08, 2013
It's been a busy last month. I got the insane idea to remodel my kitchen. Aside from the paint, paint brushes, and vinyl tiles we bought, all the wood was found for free and ta-da brand "new" kitchen for around $60.
Today is supposed to be a day off but, I'll probably end up setting myself on a chore spree when I make lunch, and some homemade pasta. I already have ideas rattling around in my brain like...dishes, sweeping, need to use up the bananas. *Sigh* and I just want to relax. Meh, moving is burning calories.
Recap/Update: I have been steadily losing for a year. When I complained about terrible fatigue, depression and crazy weight fluctuations all the doctor could find was a triglyceride level of 37 which depending on sources is either fantastic as Dr. believes"that is an extremely heart healthy level and will straighten out when you finish your weight loss" but lots of other sources think it's bad. He even seemed to be in the mindset I'm not depressed because I am competent, cheerful, and level headed.
I miss the desire to have communication with other human beings...I'm stuck in deep anti-social ways. I'm hoping this doesn't become permanent. My husband and family have been complaining about my lack of communication. I honestly have no clue what's up with it but, I just haven't had much of anything to say to anyone.
Also, I'm not doing good on exercise, with my lack of social interaction hubby is requiring more of my time making it harder for me to feel like squeezing in a few minutes here and there with my already lacking motivation. With my odds and ends tasks around the house I've let my eating slip up some making lots of "fast" meals that are not balance (see, pasta with just garlic or an entire bag of california blend veggies w/ soy sauce and ginger). I've had sporadic weight changes (up and down) and fatigue. I've gone back to eating meat, but aiming two days a week of forcing meatless meats on hubby. Fresh vegetables and fruit are just a touch harder for me to come by at the moment as I've been working with lack of seasonal things in rural b.f.e and a lower food budget.
I've also been consuming sugar again. For some reason my blood sugar keeps going low even after eating higher carb things. This morning I had cinnamon roll oatmeal (1/4 cup steel cut oats, splenda brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, topped with cream cheese glaze), and a piece of stone ground wheat toast. Carbs and sugar! One hour prior to eating this my blood sugar was 70 and I had yet to even take my metformin.
In short I'm sort of lingering around. My Fitbit reminds me daily of the poor calories in vs. out that I am doing. I actively chart my food, water, and servings of veggies but, I haven't been very proud of the quality of my efforts. My clothes are tight because I'm puffy from bad choices, and the scale is stuck in the same 5 pound fluctuation.

Life is hard and it gets in the way. Tell your hubby that you want to spend more time with him and you'd love if he would help you out. Many times that is something they need to hear. Tell him to go on a walk with you or to help motivate you on doing situps, etc.
It's always as much a mental game (losing and maintaining weight) as anything else. I'm also missing social activities. I work in a one person office (me) but at heart I'm an extremely social person. Through the years I've shut down and just don't like people any more. lol Now , going to the gym is helping me out by getting what I've been missing (social interaction). I need it to be happier.
Hopefully everything else will get straightened out, always get a second opinion if you have any doubts.

The HealthCare unit of
Bayer AG
) received encouraging news from the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), which recently approved Bayer's low dose
levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (IUS) known as
Skyla. Skyla helps in preventing pregnancy for up to three years
when placed in the uterus.
Skyla's approval provides women with a reliable option in case
they want to avoid taking pills. Moreover, the new IUS allows a
rapid return to a women's usual level of fertility after removal.
Skyla's approval will add on to Bayer's wide range of birth
control products.
Meanwhile, in Dec 2012, Bayer successfully completed its
registration procedure in the EU for its new IUS system. The
product is expected to be marketed in the EU under the trade name
of Jaydess.
We note that companies like
Warner Chilcott

I have a new whirlpool. I don't have an automatic ice maker, only ice trays. The ice is freezing, but not completely solid. Also, i put a bottle of water in the freezer and it did not freeze completely. Any ideas?
if its new and not freezing, why not call where you bought it from and have them look at it? Obviously it has a problem.

A Study of Perceived Diversity Climate by Employees Belonging to Different Social Groups
Sia, Surendra Kumar, Bhardwaj, Gopa, Indian Journal of Industrial Relations
The present study examines the perception of the employees regarding the diversity climate of their organization. The dimensions covered under the diversity climate are organizational fairness, inclusiveness and personal diversity value. The study revealed that mainly the Oriya Hindu Female and Oriya Reserved Category employees differed significantly from the other groups upon perceived fairness and perceived inclusiveness. However, no significant difference was observed among the respondents of the different groups upon personal diversity value.
Diversity appears in organizations due to many factors. Article l 6 of the Indian Constitution offers equality of opportunity for employment to citizens irrespective of religion, race, caste, sex, descent, or place of birth. Though our states have been carved out on linguistic basis, Article 19 of the Constitution offers the privilege for movement throughout the country and carry out business or profession of one's choice. Directive Principles of state policy provide reservation for weaker and deprived sections of the society like Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, women etc. Thus, our Constitution has envisaged a strong legal foundation for a diverse work force.
In the last one-decade, the absolute number of male employees has dropped by about 6 lakhs, whereas female employees have increased by a similar number. The total employment in PSUs has remained stagnant. In percentage terms, while male employees dropped down 5% compared to 30% rise in the number of female employees. The employment trend also corresponds to the faster growth in the services sector in the last decade. Since 1990, the sectors, which have added the maximum number of employees in the public sector are community, social & personal services and finance, insurance, real estate etc. These are also the sectors most suited for females (Kant & Sinha 2004).
Gradually women, minorities and deprived sections of the society are becoming highly qualified and skilled; thus more and more of them are entering in to various organizations at different levels, bringing in changes in the demographic composition of the organisations. Recently some organisations are undergoing expansion into international collaborations. A natural by-product of such events is the workforce diversity. In such cases, the diversity is mainly due to cultural factors and geographical locations of the organization.
A close perusal of the trends of urbanization worldwide indicates that most of the medium or large size organizations are located near urban centers. People from different parts and states of India migrate to those urban areas in search of jobs. As a consequence, people from different backgrounds including religion, languages etc. settle themselves in these places.
Diversity should be considered as a salient aspect of an organisation, particularly those which are diversifying and differentiating. Workforce diversity adds reputation to an organisation. According to Datta and associates (2005), industry characteristics affect the relative importance and value of high-performance work systems. Impact of these human resource systems on productivity is influenced by capital intensity, growth and differentiation. At the same time, if diversity is not managed effectively it can affect the total organisation. Sacco and Schmitt (2005) view a linkage between demographic misfits and turnover, as well as a negative association between racial diversity and changes in profitability.
Manage Diversified Workforce Employees of minority groups and women employees, having lower representation in the organization, may feel themselves being highly visible and are assumed by others to be representative of their social group in the organization. They feel highly contrasted with other members of their work environment. Studies by Kanter (1977) and Yoder (1994) have provided evidences to support these contentions. …

Basic Information
History: Considering international publication demands, the Institute of Food Technology - ITAL, felt the need to adequate its periodical "Coletânea", created in 1965, to the new technological standards of information and communication. Thus in 1998 it created, edited and published the first number of the Brazilian Journal of Food Technology.
The journal Brazilian Journal of Food Technology (BJFT) is a three-monthly electronic publication with free access, which proposes to publish the results of original research, which contribute significantly to knowledge in the areas of food science, technology and engineering and for the development of agricultural sciences in Brazil. The articles are available for free through the website http://bjft.ital.sp.gov.br/
The Journal publishes original and authentic articles, short communications, review articles, case reports, critical book review, article comments and effective communication in Portuguese, English and Spanish. The submission of a manuscript presupposes that the same paper is not under analysis for publication in any other divulging vehicle.
Its abbreviated title is Braz. J. Food Technol., which should be used in bibliographies, footnotes and bibliographical references and strips.

Does your hotel website really need SEO help? Check for yourself before paying someone you've only talked to once over the phone.
You've probably been told your hotel's website needs Search Engine Optimization (SEO) but how would you know if this is true? Simple, how good your hotel SEO stands right now can be determined by following these three Google searches. Then you can feel confident on telling the person on the phone "We're doing just fine, thank you!"
1. Search for your hotel's name.
Your hotel should be number one on the page. If you are not in the first position, this could mean your website is not optimized enough for your brand.
2. Search for hotels in your area.
For example, use the search term "hotels in Hillsboro Oregon." Your hotel should show up within two pages. If it doesn't, this may mean that search engines don't believe your website is relevant enough for a search of hotels.
3. Search for your hotel's address.
Your hotel should be the only listing displayed. If the results display other business names, this indicates that search engines do not know the correct address of your hotel.
Finding your true self
If you had trouble finding your own hotel with this search, your customers are not finding you either. These indicators reflect the need for local hotel SEO, a part of today's standard marketing for hotels.
Our clients use our tool called ZoomKeeper. This reputation management tool shows how a company's information is shared across the internet. ZoomKeeper monitors logistical information such as address and phone numbers as well as reviews on sites like TripAdvisor, Yelp and CitySearch. As a busy hotelier, you need one tool to help you respond to any negative reviews and give you the ability to share positive reviews on your favorite social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. And you need to know if your next client can find you with just a few clicks.
ZoomKeeper is free to try. Follow this link to receive a free ZoomKeeper Manifest report that will outline the following:
- Number of different business names, URLs, physical addresses and phone numbers your hotel may have
- How visible your hotel is on the internet
- How many listings have accurate, incorrect and missing information
- Display of actual errors found in listings
- Aggregated review ratings with sources
Need to know more? Email me anytime. I'll answer your SEO FAQs ASAP.
You can also get your FREE Manifest report here too.
Thanks to Keith at The Orenco Hotel for letting his hotel be exposed to the world.

Cheap Glasses
Full cost-cutting plan
Get Martin's Free Weekly Email!
For all the latest deals, guides and loopholes - join the 10m who get it. Don't miss out
Consumer Team | Edited by Steve N
Updated 30 Mar 2015
Glasses are an expensive necessity, but if you shop selectively, then it's possible to slash the costs. Whether it's the Dame Edna look you're going for, or more John Lennon, use online discounters and you'll be dazzled by the amazing savings.
In this guide
What's the trick?
The key here is to buy your specs from an online discounter. All you need to do is supply an up-to-date prescription (from the last two years) and enter the relevant details on the form.
If your prescription is out-of-date, you can expect to pay �20-30 for an eye test - or keep an eye out on the Free Eye Tests voucher page.
If you work with computers, you can even get your employer to pay for your eye test, though they're only required to pay for your glasses if you only need 'em for your job.

Why are they so cheap?
As with contact lenses, if you buy specs from the high street, then you're covering expensive overheads and salaries needed to run the shops.
Opt to purchase your glasses online and you can substantially cut the price as you won't be financing costly sight equipment. These companies also buy in bulk directly from manufacturers, enabling them to get special deals and discounts.
Extra tip: Reclaim the costs of your glasses
Healthcare cashplans allow you to reclaim the cost of dental, optical and other forms of healthcare, whether it's via the NHS or not.
You've a right to get a copy of your prescription
You'll need your prescription to place your order online. Once you have had an eye test, opticians are required by law to give you a copy of your prescription without requiring you to make a purchase.
Your prescription should be less than two years old, or one year for the over-70s.
What your prescription means:
Sphere. Specifies the strength of the lens; a plus sign indicates long sightedness, a minus sign for short sightedness.
Pupiliary distance. This is the horizontal distance between your pupils in millimetres. If you don't know what it is you can either have a go at measuring it yourself with the help of a mate and a mirror, or use the average which is about 63.
Cylinder. This indicates whether your eye is perfectly round, if so this is left blank, or if you have eyes which are slightly oval- or rugby ball-shaped.
- Axis. If you have an astigmatism, this indicates where the lenses need to be positioned.
The same goes for contact lenses
Legally, opticians must hand over a copy of your contact lens prescription, even if you don't buy lenses from them. This means you're free to buy online from cheap online sellers.
It's all about getting exactly the same lenses as normal, following your prescription, but paying less. Once you know the contact lenses you need and have been fitted for them by an optician, use our Cheap Contact Lens Finder�to instantly search specialist discount sites to find the cheapest.
Finding the cheapest glasses
For a full list, see our dedicated Cheap Glasses page, which has all the latest, up-to-date deals and offers.
Basic lenses
The cheapest deals are still on the internet, although high street opticians have slashed their prices in recent years to compete. If you don't have regular access to the internet or just want to speak to a human, a few of the dispensers will also take your order over the phone or by post.
A few years ago it was possible to save more than 80% on the cost of basic glasses. Prices at Specsavers now start from �25 for frames and basic single vision lenses, and �29 at Vision Express. There are still big savings available but this has dropped to around 50% by the time you add the cost of delivery.

|Prices as of March 2015. Excluding delivery.
Designer glasses
If you fancy yourself as a bit of a fashionista, many of the online dispensers offer designer specs at bargain basement prices. Try some frames in a high street store to see what suits and fits you then make a note of the model number and then you can try to find the exact frames online without having to buy blind!
Many online retailers offer designer frames with more than 50% off. MyOptique has Dolce and Gabbana frames and basic lenses from �113, compared with the �209 starting price at Vision Express, while Designer Glasses has Ray-Ban frames from �63, compared with the �210 starting price at Boots Opticians.
Bifocals and varifocals
Most online retailers do now offer bifocal and varifocal lenses, although not for every type of frame. Take care while entering your prescription as the information is more complex and as they are more costly to make, you risk losing more money if you make a mistake with the prescription.
What happens if they're not right?
You do need to be careful when ordering. If you make a mistake with entering prescription details, you are not necessarily guaranteed a refund or exchange. Having said that, dispensers like Spex4less* offer a full money-back guarantee, regardless of whether it was your mistake or theirs.
In other cases, provided you return the frames within the specified time limit you should get a refund or exchange, though you will have to stump up for the postage costs again. If you're not sure of something on your prescription most online dispensers will decipher it for you if you contact them.
Extra tips: Getting good-fitting glasses online
Order the glasses and then go in to a high street optician for a final fitting and adjustment.
Check the frame dimensions online before buying and compare them to an old pair of glasses that fit well.
The inside arm of your present pair of glasses should have a pair of two digit numbers, eg, 55/21. The first number represents the width of the lens and the second the width of the bridge.
The size of the saving
At Specsavers basic frames and single vision lenses cost from �25, while Boots Opticians start from �50 for their cheapest frame and lense. Buy them online and you could pay as little as �4 for the frames and lenses, although remember to factor in the cost of delivery.

This very much remind me of fattie64's snatch-n-grab... good job though...
i'm still sleepy, I'll leave extended c+c later
EDIT: my C+C as promised
I feel like the mix of double and single interlocks doesn't serve all that much of a purpose in the end, You should probably go with on or the other. Also, as everyone else discussed, the V coil will not help you in any way. From what I see, there are some tension issues (especially on the inners) other than that, it looks pretty good.

Leather tension looks a little off at the bottom. Let those knots tighten and you should be good to go!
I'm confused why you did that coil in the centre track... Aesthetics?
Mesh Megathread . FS Thread
Great White Stringing... check out my website! CLICK HERE
I would think so, as an angled coil adds no practical use, rather, may cause an uneven release
the spacing looks pretty damn good to me
Spacing on the pita center is pretty good but the outer leathers are a bit inconsistant. As said before yu have some tension issues on the inner leathers. Don't see much use of the v-coil, besides looks I guess. when interlocking onto another string, always double interlock. With how it is now, it will shift a lot and will become deformed after some use. All in all, its a pretty good pocket. Keep up the work and don't stop stringing

The American news industry has undergone considerable changes in recent decades. New methods of communication have arrived on the scene, most notably in the form of twenty-four-hour television news networks and the Internet, which offer real-time access to a staggering amount of information and, in the case of the Internet, a vast and varied blogosphere and social-networking capabilities. At the same time, a number of more traditional news media, such as newspapers and magazines, face an increasing array of challenges to their continued viability. Within this "new" news marketplace, we have also seen changes in the norms of news work, especially which events, issues, and individuals are defined as "newsworthy," the manner in which selected information and images are organized for presentation to audiences, and the ways that audience members use, or consume, news. These consequential shifts offer exciting opportunities for creating and distributing information, while also challenging our ability to accurately understand the world in which we live.
This is a book about the role of the news media in social life. Specifically, I am interested in how the productions of the mainstream news media influence our perceptions of social reality. A long history of scholarship in sociology, media studies, and other academic disciplines has taught us that the news we consume influences the way we process events, assess issues, and assign meaning to our personal experiences. While there are a number of ways to judge the connection between the news media and the processes through which we make and attribute meaning, my focus is on how news is put together and communicated to news consumers. A wealth of research suggests that the manner in which news is packaged and presented is a key determinant of what people remember from their encounters with news content and how they use this information. The following chapters explore a disturbing trend in America's mainstream news media, in which media resources and audience attention are becoming more and more oriented toward news that is fashioned into long-running "serialized dramas"

CHADRON Bierce LAND
Male Human (Varisian) Fighter 1
NG Medium Humanoid (Human)
Init +3; Senses Perception +0
Chadron is a brawny, strapping Varisian lad. Despite his large frame, the armor he normally carries by wearing, and the several weapons strapped about him, his demeanor is pleasant and open - if sometimes a bit brash. Chadron's dark auburn hair, brown eyes, and olive complexion mark his Varisian heritage. His full, medium length, squared-off beard reflect a more rural sensibility. But despite the simple functionality of his clothes, several signs hint at ongoing Varisian connections - a bright orange belt sash, a small gold earring, a gold chain on his left wrist, and light embroidery at cuff and collar of his tunic.
Chaldron's got a smile and a handshake for everyone he meets. He also persists in assuming that everyone he meets is a friend he just isn't well acquainted with yet.
When he came of age, and his younger sister married another member of the militia (one from a large family), Chadron took an opportunity to cash out of the farm, finish equipping himself, and set out into the world. He has heard rumors of giants stirring in the hills, goblins and strange monsters in Sandpoint. Chadron has made his way to Sandpoint.
But don't misread. Chadron is in it for the after-adventure drinks. Magic is good. Gold is good. Glory is great. But mostly because glory makes the drinks flow, the lads tell tales, and the ladies very friendly.
At the next harvest, Chadron convinced Neila, Garghad's mother, to dragoon Garghad and Chadron into helping him set up games for the feast day. For the younger men, they organized wrestling, axe-tossing, and running races. For the younger children, egg relays and three-legged races. Though Garghad was initially reluctant, working together to lay out courses, gather materials, and set sign-ups brought a level of mutual respect. Chadron lost a wrestling match with Garghad, but he did win a pat on the back from his father, and a warm, knowing smile from his mother.
"Chadron, you're asking us to trade the mule for a suit of armor, solely so you can take leave the Vale." Chadron drew breath to interrupt, but Eccelsron gently held up his hand. "I know it is the way of our people to find a life on the roads - but a weighty and expensive suit of scale mail is not part of that tradition. In the militia we hold armor and weapons to defend the people of Bloodsworn Vale. We don't own these things in our own right. and... the mule?"
Chadron said, "Father, we both know the militia needs pack animals. And when the militia needs them, you'll be with the militia anyway. You won't be pulling stumps while chasing marauding orcs from the Vale. We also both know the militia will loan you back the mule when stumps need pulling." Chadron drew a deep breath, "You know I've been preparing for years to take to the road - and on my own terms. Both mother and Aunt Geselle have seen that there is something for me on the Lost Coast. Loenet has married Greigor, and they can help work the farm here. Father, let me find my road."
"It is in the Harrows," said Marduet gently. "The Harrows said nothing about my mule!" harumphed Eccelsron. The gleam in his eye made first Marduet, then Chadron chuckle. Then as the stern set of Eccelsron's expression cracked, they all burst out laughing.
"Yes uncle, my road leads that way. Your caravan follows safer ways, living off the land and the rubes."
Chadron watched the caravan head north from Ilsurian. He reflected briefly on the road so far. From his home in the Bloodsworn Vale, he walked out of the Vale to the city of Korvosa. From his sheltered life in the the Bloodsworn Vale, Korvosa seemed an unimaginably complex place, full of rules and taxes and harsh enforcements. Chadron's first strong impression, as he entered the Eodred's Walk, was a city executioner removing a thief's hand, then branding a unionist. Chadron found that his olive complexion and even his (relatively) subdued traveling clothes marked him as a 'moth' - a Varisian, and inherently suspect. He rapidly found an exit from Korvosa.
Chadron quickly found a berth on a short-hopping coast-lugger. Although his clothes and accent - and the family tattooes on his shoulders once he'd taken off his shirt - marked him out as Varision, his fellow crewmen on the Targon's Landing were no two alike. Chadron's natural lugubriousness, good cheer, and willingness to work hard soon put him in good stead with the crew - despite his utter lack of experience as a sailor. Chadron crewed with the Targon's Landing as far as Palin's Cove. A few weeks on the sea gave him opportunity to truly appreciate the novel experience. Chadron didn't find sailing unpleasant, but he'd had enough to understand that there was no brine in his blood.
From Palin's Cove Chadron walked north to Baslwief. In Baslwief, Chadron encountered Kevan and his Varisian caravan of entertainers. After establishing bone fides and extended family relationships, Chadron found a place in the caravan. Although not an entertainer, and not a fortune teller, Chadron worked hard setting up and tearing down, and kept good order among the patrons. His positive attitude and comeraderie helped speed the work, and ease tensions with the audiences. Chadron found himself sometimes at odds with his Varisian comrades in their disdain of the farmers and townsfolk - but he also came to experience the locals' prejudice and disrespect of the Varisians.
Kevan's caravan made a meandering way across the plains and through the Ashwood. During the several weeks, Chadron came to appreciate the way of the People of the Road in ways not available to him in the Bloodsworn Vale. Chadron's fathers' family had taken several generations rest from the road, but his mother's Cardren clan was in the world. North of Biston, Kevan's caravan encountered another Varisian caravan that counted clan Cardren among its members. Family shawls - kapenia - were compared. Tales were exchanged. Although Chadron's presence was cause for celebration, the centerpiece of the meeting of the caravans was a wedding between one of Kevan's nieces and a member of the Cardren clan.
With only a day's preparation, Chadron scrambled for a wedding gift. He eventually bargained with a local farmer for two sacks of fine ground flour, and a butterfly (symbol of Desna) of woven grain sheafs. Though not as colorful, as spectacular, as many of the Varisian wedding gifts, the couple praised their practicality and the representation of the pastoral Land families. The Grandmother of Kevan's caravan said later, "I have never seen one of Desna's butterflies in the golds and browns of grain. It is unusual, but kindly you to invoke the Goddess's blessing. It augurs," with a slight emphasis, "for a fruitful, progressive, and happy marriage. Thank you."
Shaking off his revery, Chadron idly rubbed his two newest tattoos - a golden butterfly clinging to a family vine between his left shoulder and pectoral, and opposite, below his right shoulder, a blooming sunflower in a wagon wheel. As he set off toward the road to Whistledown, he called to a passing merchant, "Friend - I'm headed to points west - shall we walk together?"

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
Harrys dealings
Sorry you have missed the boat, its obvious where we need replacements and you have not delivered, you have took the accolades in the past on doing what you have done with this team.
You needed another striker now that Keane has moved on and your attempts to get one was last minute, ok it happened with Van Der Vart in the summer but even that was touch and go, you try to bring in another Midfielder in Charli Adam why! we dont need midfielders we have copious amounts, i think the idea of bringing in Phil Neville was inconcieved not that he has not done a decent job for Everton he has but he is nearing the end of his sell by date. All the fans know we wanted a striker a full back and another C/D if this team is to move on we need quality and having watched Spurs the last 6 weeks and indeed most of the season we are sadly lacking, we have been getting away with it, there are only about 3 games that stick out this season and the european game was one of them.
Look how many injuries we have in C/D King and Woodgate have been long term, Gallas only fit for so many games, Kaboul out now for 4 weeks at least, now we have Dawson suspended admittidley only for 1 game,
Sorry Harry i dont think you have done yourself the fans and the club any favours.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
John i thought the 4-1 was funnier than the fish joke it did put a smile on my face.
Isn't that what you use to catch fish?
You wouldn't say that if you realised that I was really a Woolwich 5th Columnist trying to cause dissent and stir up trouble.....
I think we're all after the same thing here - just a place where there are like minded (in my case that then means brain dead) people and where you can have a bit of a laugh trying to put the world of football to rights...
I predict 1-4 tonight. Crouch and Daffy get 2 each - Crouch 1st half, Daffy comes on 2nd half and wraps it up.
See - made you smile already...;-)!
Oh I know SB has occassionally made some very good points. The problem is how they are written sometimes and certainly how often - ie, "arry should have sold bentley and keane months ago instead of having them on the bench earning milliions" how many times can you say that and not get bored?
Apart from the monotony it is, as I said, the fact that she will not be persuaded that her view may even be slightly wrong that made me think it wasn't worth it.
The majority of views on here are well thought out and valid and it is interesting to see other peoples views on things that are different from your own. The key word is Debate me thinks.
John keep up the postings nothing wrong with constructive critism your comments are valid and sometimes it makes our own comments not as valid as we think, i think this site is great and nearly always there are cracking postings, obviously not the likes of ED whom i never reply to, its great we all have our own views if we did not we would all be picking the same team.
Keep the comments coming
I saw the previous exchanges. I also think that SB has made some valid points at times. But I think in this case it's really futile in pursuing it - my problem is that I'm like a dog with a bone, I see a post and just can't wait to reply. Boredom I suppose, or just a cantankerous old git? Probably the latter....
That is my point - we are challenging the 'real' big clubs (I don't mean that in a detrimental way - just that their earnings are far higher from either/and/or ground capacity and CL) - and Levy has managed to keep a transfer kitty going AS WELL as looking to redevelop the ground. All of that is down to astute business control - which includes the wage bill.
But that transfer kitty money is finite - if Levy is to control it, we can't just go out and blow £35m on a player, without realising what the overall cost is (it isn't just the players price - its the knock on in increased salaries across the squad).
Buying in Jan is a problem - costs soar as clubs realise the 'panic' motive. Chelsea and Liverpool are trying to get 4th as well - Chelsea can afford the dosh as long as Abram is there and is willing to bankroll it and Pool broke even by selling a player who didn't appear to want to be there anyway.
For us, it's slightly different (IMHO) - we want to break into the top 4, but don't want to force the club into insolvency in the process. It's a fine line. So far, again apart from the Jol incident, I think Levy has done pretty well. 'arry is still to be judged, BUT we are 5th now, got 4th last season. To me that's pretty good - especially as we've done it by playing 'good' football - all we seem to be is lacking goals.
I think expectations change - and that is only fair - but if someone had said (before Jol) that we'd be challenging for C/L places for 4 years out of what, 6?, then I would have laughed. Now its becoming real. We are there or thereabouts, and if our strikers had hit just a bit of form this season, we'd be pressing Chelsea even harder.
I've said before, the C/L queers the pitch - once you've been in it for a few years, the extra cash means better players, which means better (hopefully) results. Its self perpetuating - so it's no mean feat to break into it - especially without the City-esque sugar daddy funding it.
It has been well documented that SB A) states her opinions as though they are fact and B) regularly criticises herself when she rambles on about a variety of things, and when done with no grammar, this makes it even more difficult to follow her train of thought.
I decided along time ago not to bother responding to her posts as it proved a complete waste of time. Even if you successfully pointed out a mistake or proved beyond reasonable doubt that she is wrong and you are right she is just as likely to ignore it or twist her considerable, and confusing, words around so as to blur it all again.
I propose that you just accept that SB is right every time and save yourself the stress of trying to put forward any other view point otherwise you are likely to die early. This is of course a forum where different views can be aired and debated but unfortunately, as far as SB is concerned, it seems it is more a place where she can tell us what is right and what is wrong with everything connected to Spurs.
John the figures you have quoted are from teams with much bigger ground capacities than ours and have all been heavily involved in Champions League football for far more years than Spurs have, firstly we have a ground capacity of just over 36k which for a team in C/L is nowhere big enough fair enough Levy is trying to do something about it, but with whats happening with Spurs at present is we are falling down the pecking order and the reasons are we are at present playing poor football and in my opinion are in a false position in the premiership, the other reason is we should be moving up a gear and im sorry to say the lack of signings this year when we should have pushed on has not happened, i blame both Harry and Levy for this they have had time and they do have the money but left it far to late to bring in new players, Harry has no say i firmly believe that all decisions seemed to be made by Levy, Harrys always saying he does not know whats happening ask Daniel.
We have to to compete with other teams at the top if we are to stay in contention and if that means buying players of quality so be it, if we dont then we will just stay mediocre and will crawl along like we have for the past 50 years, when you see Liverpool spending the money they have you have to think that they were once great and have slipped down the order by not playing in C/L this year they have gone out and done it just as Chelsea have. John you have many valid points some of them on this issue i find it hard to disagree with but the census of opinion seems to think that Harry has not done enough this year to continue last years good work i think he has got his eye on the England job already and again its my opinion i dont think Harry has done a great job this year.
...PS - this is out of date, but I would guess the order is roughly correct still....from June 2010 (sorry, I know you distrust stats) - from the BBC news site:
Wage bills for 2008/2009:
* Chelsea - £167m (£172m)
* Man Utd - £123m (£121m)
* Liverpool - £107m (£90m)
* Arsenal - £104m (£101m)
* Man City - £83m (£54m)
(2007/08 wages in brackets)
Source: Deloitte
The point I'm trying to make here, should you miss it, is two fold:
1) Levy is doing remarkably well keeping the costs down
2) That by bringing in top players, the wage bill shoots up, leaving less money to buy players. It isn't just the cost of purchase you have to take into consideration - it's the effect on a 25 man squad when contract negotiations start.
Wait til the 2009/2010 figures are released and see City's bill go through the roof.

Kissinger NEW YORK (AP) President-elect Richard M. Nixon announced today he is making Harvard Prof. Henry A. Kissinger his assistant for national security affairs to oversee the foreign and defense policy machinery of the White House. Nixon, at a news conference, said the 45-year-old Kissinger, a native of Ger- many, will revamp the entire security planning machinery at the White House with an aim to preventing global crises rather than simply dealing with them as they arise. President-elect said he was concerned that, after ainaugura- tion day, he gets a broad spec- trum of news on foreign policy problems and is "not presented will) a paper that represents a consensus the least common denominator." He said he was calling on Kis- singer, a professor of govern- ment at Harvard, to bring in new men and promole new ideas so he will have the bene- fii of divergent views. ASKED if Kissinger might ov- ershadow the man Nixon even- tually appoints as secretary of state, (he incoming chief execu- tive said, "I intend to have a very strong secretary of state." But he insisted he has not de- cided on nominees for either the state or defense cabinet posts. Kissinger said he foresaw no prospect that he would be in competition with Ihe men who eventually get those cabinet jobs. LONG A federal consultant, but never a full-time govern- ment official, Kissinger was asked if he had not tended to pursue a hard line on Vietnam and other top overseas prob- lems. "I have tried to avoid labels like hard or he replied. To assist Kissinger in de- veloping the new national curity apparatus at the White House, Nixon named 42-year-old Richard V. Allen, a senior staff member at the Hoover Insti- tution on War, 'Revolution and Peace at Stanford University. Allen, who will be a "principal! associate" of Kissinger's, served as director of foreign policy re- search during the Nixon cam- paign. KISSINGER had met with Nixon at least four times in eight days. He has asked for a .cave of absence from Harvard to lake the White House job. In his new post, Kissinger will be the direct successor to Walt W. Rostow, President Johnson's assistant for national security affairs, wh-j succeeded Mc- George Bundy, now president of the Ford Foundation.

Attorney Joseph J.

All around a great knife, simple and nice to look at. The knife is easy to open—not as easy as some, it does require two hands. Its simple design is what makes this knife so appealing and nice to look at, it has a very pretty real wooden handle and is simple to unlock and lock with a collar that turns to lock the blade open or closed.

A great little knife, that will take a bite out of your salami, but not out of your pocketbook. A few years back, I was looking for a decent lightweight knife for my hiking ditty bag. But the top rated knives were really expensive, some in excess of a hundred bucks! Though I like quality, I'm also frugal (or cheap, depending on how you want to look at it).

This is probably not the best hiking knife. It was designed by I believe a German police officer. Its big blade is meant for slicing.

In fact the knife itself closed isn't wide, which is nice because it allows for more pocket space. As I said it could be used as a hiking/backpacking knife, but there are better choices.
