8 out of 13 people found this review helpful:Not at all worth watchingEven ignoring the fact that this replaced Bleach (which was decent, but probably should have ended by now), this is appalling. The attempts at humor (these are constant) are rarely funny. The art style and chibi proportions can only be described as annoying. Rock Lee also doesn't strike me as a good choice of main character. I fail to understand why TV Tokyo made this beyond-risky move, as Rock ...Read more
7 out of 20 people found this review helpful:It's sooo bad I want to dieSo this is the show that got bleach canceled. What happened to the shows that provided us( the ppl that love action) with true action. I hate it and if it's true that this show is going to get naruto shippuden canceled just like the rumors say, shameful
2 out of 4 people found this review helpful:fun and refreshing!!!Definitely something different from the storyline, this spin-off makes us see the funny sides of the Naruto characters, particularly Neji, as we don't usually see any funny antics from him in Naruto.
Can't wait for the upcoming vids, keep up the great work!
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful:ROCK LEE IS SO KAWAII >w<In this series, (a spin off of Naruto) the main character is Rock Lee. All of the characters in this series are chibi versions of themselves from Naruto Shippuden. Personally, I really like this show because Rock Lee is funny due to his exaggeration on situations and how determined he is (even if he fails). This show is a refreshing anime that is very humorous and enjoyable. It is very unique and ...Read more
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful:I gave up on Naruto... but Rock Lee has pulled me back in!This show is obviously a comedy show and not to be taken seriously. It is like a usual American cartoon with different plots involving character Rock Lee from Naruto doing childish things. Its funny, and well worth your time if you are into Naruto and some fun kiddy jokes.
4 out of 20 people found this review helpful:Love Naruto Filler episodes? Then this is the show for you!Remember (not so long ago) when there was about a full years worth of Naruto filler episodes? If you were in heaven, then look no further! Watching Shippuden anymore would only disappoint you.
Not many people know, but in Japan Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals have dominated the ratings and Shippuden will soon be canceled.
4 out of 5 people found this review helpful:I mean, come on. Who doesn't like Naruto?If there's anything I was waiting for, it was a spin-off and here it is! But there are always those questions floating in the air: What are the characters going to be like? What's the plot line? Are some characters going to be left or have less airtime? That's a lot of questions, but Naruto hasn't failed me in a while so I guess all these questions can be answered positively The show as a ...Read more
4 out of 5 people found this review helpful:Super Cute, Super Funny, Super Rock Lee!This series is hilarious! Rock Lee is definitely under-looked in the original Naruto series, and this series takes a closer look (and a really funny look) at who he is and his quirky personality. It also jabs fun at Neji and provides a strong female role with Ten-Ten. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a Naruto fan--especially one who thinks that Rock Lee deserves more credit than what he's ...Read more

thought I would try the stair climber at the gym today but I have no experience with it. it's like an escalator thing. I figure I can do 20 minutes real slow. sound like a plan? is 20 minutes too ambitious? I'm 55 and don't want a heart attack.

cycling is like baseball ~ it doesn't take much to make it interesting
Your heart can't tell if you're doing a stair climber or riding your bike, it just knows you're doing cardio exercise. If you're used to doing 20 minutes of exercise where you get your heart rate up, you should be fine; if not, take it easy. Your legs will probably be sore, though.
Get cleared by your doc for aerobic exercise and ask him if there are any limits. Most cyclists I know in their 50s and 60s often go as hard as they can possibly go without concern for heart or heart rates.
Eschew simplistic dogma.
FWIW I use an HRM when exercising to a) keep me honest...meaning it tells me if i am not really working that hard and b) let's me watch my max.
it is also really interesting to compare watts to heart rate.....for me different exercises can put the heart rate up, while still not putting out the same watts. (keeping in mind that the wattage accuracy varies).
an example is that on a concept rowing machine, my percieved effort is high, my HR goes up, but the wattage is not as high as what i generate on an elliptical machine.
Running will push my heart rate right up....
bikeing I have to push pretty hard to get the heart rate up.
I use HR to push myself.....if I find my avr HR for a set workout is consistently at the low end of my range, I push the effort up.
and of course listen to your body....

interesting tips, thanks. it was about the most boring 20 minutes of any workout I can remember. did 10 minutes at level 1 and 10 minute at level 2. I think next time I'll start at level 2 and try for level 3. I had a slight moistening of my forehead at 10 minutes and a little sweat at 20 minutes. enough to wipe with my towel. I climbed 32 floors. do not remember the watts though I did see that displayed. only burned 100 calories. the only thing that really kept my interest was that I think my cat peed on my shirt and it didn't really start to smell until the 10 minute mark. the last 10 minutes were pretty distracting. I did not see any sensors to p/u my heart rate like they have on other devices at the gym. anyway I survived ...

Why waste time and energy at the gym and do boring cardio on some machine ??... You are already doing cardio/endurance everytime you're riding your bike...It would be better to use your gym time doing strength training, and focus on getting stronger.
I usually do but was nursing a strained back for 3 weeks and then last Thursday it escalated and Friday wasn't better. Doc gave me muscle relaxers and I used them all weekend. I figured the stairmaster would be a good non stressful way to get back to exercising. Hoping to get back to my regular routine of weight training at lunch and running after work. my rides have to wait for free weekends. excellent suggestion though!!!
cycling is like baseball ~ it doesn't take much to make it interesting
tried level 2 for 10min then level 3 for 10 min, noticed watts was 116, burned 130 calories, and floors was I think 40 or a couple over. how many floors is the empire state bldg? the girl next to me, holy cow she must have been on level 8 and was practically running up stairs the whole time! God bless her! not sure if next time I'll try 10min at 3 and then 10min at lvl 4, or just do a whole 20 min at 3 ... got a decent sweat going after 20min but I know that when I run the treadmil I get the same sweat after only 10min, so I know I can go to a higher level. I had knee surgery 17 yrs ago, that knee handles this just fine. the left however I felt a tiny something, but barely noticeable, so I was careful about my alignment.

With almost 12,000 posts, I assume that the OP is quite experienced with all forms of exercise, but not just this particular equipment. If the OP is using similar equipment to what our gym has, it says "Stepmill" on it somewhere. I believe it's made by Stairmaster. We call it "the stairway to hell."
StepMill 5 | StairMaster
Ours picks up a Polar HRM transmitter, or just wear your own HRM transmitter and receiver.
There are many different workouts one can do on these things. I usually go steady-state because it's an alternative to the trainer or rollers when weather is bad and I'm doing base. So I get going on the thing and bump a level up each time my HR stabilizes at a number, until I get to the intensity I want, always zone 2 or 3. That takes 5-10 minutes. Every model has different intensities for the different displayed levels, so it's hard to compare numbers, but I usually run in the 4-7 level, depending on which model machine. I don't think there's much point to going for less than 45 minutes or going at less than zone 2 (breathing slow and deep, sweating). For a harder workout, I'll do a zone 3 (breathing harder and deeper). In winter, during the week I'll usually do one zone 3 for about an hour, and a zone 2 for about the same, a couple days later.
My record is 1.5 hours of zone 3, which involved a good bit of leg pain. I think my record floors is somewhere around 300. I normally do 200 or so for a good workout. Unlike my bike workouts, I never do weights after a Stepmill workout - or before for that matter. I have trouble walking to the car, though I used to ride home a few years ago. Anyway, you can do more than you think. Bump the level up to where you're working fairly hard and just hold it there, but quit before the leg pain gets extreme. It's also a good lower back workout.
I see a lot of folks pushing down on the bars. Don't do that. Put your hands out in front of you for balance, keep your back straight, and try not to bounce.
wow, that's impressive and thanks for the tips at the end. yes it looks like that, is made by stairmaster but not that modern. lower back workout? hmmm wanted to avoid that, but it seems less hard on my back than the usual upper body weight training I do. thanks again. next level tomorrow, but I only have 20 minutes at lunch hahaha
cycling is like baseball ~ it doesn't take much to make it interesting
yes that's what it's called, I thought I read "2000" but maybe it is "7000" this is what it looks like
Used Stepmills Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Sacramento
20 min default, I love that, started at 3 for 10 then 4 for 10 146? calories I think watts went up to 136, and did 52 floors. left knee fine right calf a little tight and possibly right glute. after getting off I had that weird lifting feeling like when you to that fun test standing next to a wall and press outward with your arm down to your side and when you step away from the wall your arms lifts all by itself. I felt like I was walking like a dork for a while. kinda funny
cycling is like baseball ~ it doesn't take much to make it interesting
A funny note: on our machines it says something like: "If you feel short of breath or pain, immediately stop exercise and seek medical help." Uh . . . like every time I use the thing?
10 min at lvl 4 then 10 min at lvl 5, I forget the #floors , watts & calories. too busy with work, ugh. but this is finally starting to feel like a workout
cycling is like baseball ~ it doesn't take much to make it interesting
10 min at lvl 5 then 10 min at lvl 6, 70 floors (almost 3/4 the way up the empire state building) 188 calories, 168 watts. using this machine can't be the same as actually climbing steps because these steps move down at the same time you lift yourself up, so it can't possibly be as hard as lifting yourself completely. but hey it's all relative. definitely felt like more of a work out, my breathing was deeper. not sure what I'll do next week. everything feels fine, no joint or muscle discomfort.
cycling is like baseball ~ it doesn't take much to make it interesting
If it's working and you don't have any pain, why not keep doing it? You can always vary the workout to add interval intensity.
oh haha no I wasn't suggesting stopping, was thinking what level I would start back up with. but I think rather than doign it every day which is too mindless for me I would do a higher level maybe 3 times a week. I normally have nine 20 minute sessions a week, so this could be three of the nine
cycling is like baseball ~ it doesn't take much to make it interesting
been out of commission with sore throat, cough, bloody noses, back strain, etc etc. back to gym today started at level 8 what was I thinking, backed it down to level 6 then later level 4 to finish the 20minites. man am I out of shape. doesn't take long ...

Nearly any engine can benefit from a catch can. Piston engines produce pressure in the crankcase (basically the lower half if you picture from the crankshaft down) as the pistons pump up and down. If that pressure were to build it can reduce ring seal, hence the purpose of the ventilation system. Because of emissions reasons, however, that pressure cannot be vented to the atmosphere, so the manufacturers have to route it into the intake manifold so that it can be burned in the combustion chamber. The gasses from the crankcase carry emulsified oil that coats the intake runners (producing that sludge you see when you remove the manifold on a high-mileage engine), and degrades the octane of the atomized fuel entering the combustion chamber. In other words, it's killing the octane rating on that big tank of premium you just paid for. The vehicle's ECU will protect the engine by reducing timing, but performance suffers, and this is even with a stock tune. The ECU reduces timing any time it sees detonation, and it can sometimes be excessive. Adding a tune can aggravate the problem in the sense that you won't be getting the performance that the tune was designed to produce.

Because I keep a garden journal, I'm often reminded of certain garden principles and personal garden tenets that I might forget over time. For example, in the beginning of May I looked back through journal entries from past springs and find this entry.
"The arrival of spring means I will find many opportunities to shop for plants. Don't forget to consider each season when adding new plants to beds and borders. Impulsively buying every flowering perennial you fall in love with in spring, will leave you with boring bed partners come summer, autumn and winter."
To sum up these thoughts I added a reminder on the first page of my journal where I keep a running list of Garden Goals. "A garden with four seasons of interest is your No. 1 garden goal. Include a selection of specimen trees and shrubs, perennials and groundcovers." These comments add one more dimension to my life as a gardener. That's what I get for writing down what I think.
Journal reminders have always worked for me. The concept of planting a sequence of bloom has helped me create a garden I can enjoy year-round. The implementation of planting a sequence of bloom is rather simple. Beginning in spring, the cheerful daffodils flower in bright creams and yellows. Soon after, the flowering Japanese cherries burst into bloom. When their blossoms fade, shrubby viburnums sport handsome, layered flower clusters. By planting the proper selection of trees, shrubs and perennials, the process continues with waves of color and interest from one plant to the next throughout the gardening year.
Columbine blooms are enchanting
One of the first perennials to flower in my shady beds behind the sun room is the columbine (Aquilegia spp.). They open in shades of pale pink, blue and dusky purple as well as white, cream, red and yellow. The columbine flower is an intricate piece of work. Up to 3 inches across, with sepals and petals in contrasting colors, the flowers float high above the foliage with backward projecting, nectar bearing spurs. Some liken them to a butterfly. Some to a hummingbird or woodland fairy.
The common name, Columbine, means "dove-like" in Latin. There is even a group of hybrids called the Songbird series with larger flowers on more compact plants. There is also a group with fatter, rounder flowers called bumblebees. 'Red Hobbit' has fiery red, semi-pendant flowers with white corollas. This one is also known as Danish Dwarf. It's obvious the columbine has done much to stir the imagination of gardeners.
As well as the flowers, I love the columbine for their intricately scalloped leaves. The foliage looks best if cut back to a few inches when flowers finish for the season. Last year I added several new columbines with variegated foliage. They display lacy, mottled yellow and green leaves with hints of brownish purple on the stems and leaf edges. Plant these together with one of the cocoa leaved geraniums or a reddish purple heuchera for color and contrast.
The first time I saw the climbing hydrangea on the entry wall outside of Portland Nursery, I knew I had to have one for my own garden. As so often happens, I immediately went into "plant desire blackout". I had to have it for my own, bought it, brought it home and planted it in a small planting nook next to my back door.
Although I read the tag and looked up information on the plant in several resource books, I somehow failed to register any of the plants faults. What I liked was the plants 6-10 inch wide, white lace cap flower clusters and the interest of the intricate pattern of deep brown stems against a wall throughout the winter season.
What I ignored was the biggest fact of all; the plants ultimate size of 30 feet. In its third year, this plant was doing so well that I was forced to realize it really would reach its full potential. At the rate it was growing, it would have completely covered the house and swallowed the chimney before I reached retirement.
As hard as it is to do in real life, make yourself take one moment of honest appraisal before any large plant purchase. Do you have the space and the conditions to grow this plant well? Will it affect the quality of other well loved plantings? If it doesn't fit into your personal garden scheme, be content seeing it in other gardens or in beautiful picture books.

There is wear/fatigue on the wire very near the mouse end. I've been slowly patching the wire over time with soldering - each time the closer it gets to being unfixable or reaching towards 'inside' the mouse where fixing it will be hard or impossible.
The wire has to be replaced ideally in whole, from the point it starts inside the mouse (with a white 4-5 piece of wires connection) to the end (of the USB connector to the computer).
So I wonder if there is a way to get a replacement of the whole thing? Or at least the inside-the-mouse connector to a certain length? Are other mice types identical in the connector of the inside?

I would definitely go back to Coronado Springs. I loved the Pepper Market for counter service. I don't really enjoy the southwest theme, but the hammocks were fantastic, and the open late snack room was great for evening EMH.
My brother and his family stayed at Port Orleans (Alligator Bayou maybe???) and it was so NICE!!! The food court there is great. There is fun entertainment and the grounds are beautiful too.
I actually like them all (the mods) but haven't stayed in one of them!
I really feel like this decision could come down to location and theme. Even though CS was near AK and Blizzard Beach, it didn't seem to take very long to get anywhere. But then the two mods near DTD can use the boat to get to DTD, that's a perk too. I visited both of the mods near DTD. I liked the theming of French Quarter, but I would not pay to stay at Riverside. I thought Riverside was really depressing, but I'm not a southern girl at heart. Also, CS is very large, and if you get stuck in the back it would take a while to get to the lobby. Oh, and CS is a convention hotel if that could sway your decision either way. However, I didn't have any problems with the convention people. I just seemed to notice more people without children. I totally forgot about the Caribbean. I've never seen that one in person.
Port Orleans Riverside without a doubt.
It's our absolute favorite! We've stayed there probably 10 or 12 times and always keep coming back.
Tom (... y'all come back now. Ya' heah!)
I'd recommend CSR in a heartbeat! Besides having a great main pool area, CSR also offers many deluxe amenities at a mod price.
CSR has queen beds and the rooms have been recently renovated and are gorgeous. The rooms also have a sliding wooden door separating the sink area from the room instead of a privacy curtain like the other mods (can be good for little ones napping in a pack n play).
Amenities include a fitness center, spa, free wi-fi, tanning beds, a sauna, salon, full menu room service and a night club.
The resort offers the same toiletries as the deluxes (except GF). CSR has separate shampoo and conditioner instead of the shampoo/conditioner combo at the other mods and values (a small thing, I know, but it means I don't have to pack shampoo and conditioner).
CSR has the largest hot tub of the mods and one of the longest pool slides on Disney property. The pool, slide and playground area is great and all located in one area at the main pool.
Bus service is terrific and is not shared with another resort.
We have stayed at all 4 of the mods and POR is clearly our favorite with POFQ second. Both my DW and I just recently stayed at CSR and while we liked the resort it was just TOO BIG for our likings. We feel the same way about CBR.

We are going to Anna Maria Aug 06. Looks fantastic, cant wait!
Just two comments, Jo... First, are you sure Rover was sleeping and not dead? Second, who said white people can't dance? LOL Looks like a fun time! ;-)
Mr. Bones is a fantastic restaurant. What a special dive! The food was great and I especially remember dipping my hand down in the beer tub for very cold beer. We were there in 2001 and I'm sure it's even better now.

"Jaro District of Iloilo City" Jaro by cyndymc
Jaro Travel Guide: 6 reviews and 11 photos
Jaro District is only 3 kms. away from the Iloilo City Proper. It is the seat of Jaro Diocese covering Western Visayas. It is also known for the old colonial houses of Iloilo sugar barons and the Hispano-Filipino houses of the society's elite. I looked forward to seeing them so I could make a comparison with their counterparts in Negros Occidental, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to go around. I got to see only the Jaro Cathedral, belfry and plaza.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

On March 13, HUD proposed a rule to prohibit mortgagees from charging post-payment interest under FHA's single family mortgage insurance program. The proposal is responsive to the CFPB's ATR/QM rule, under which post-payment interest charged in connection with FHA loans closed on or after January 21, 2015 will be considered a prepayment penalty. HUD's proposal states that while some single-family FHA mortgages would meet the requirements under the ATR/QM rule permitting limited prepayment penalties during the first 36 months of the mortgage, others would not. The proposal seeks to achieve consistency among FHA single-family mortgage products and to provide the same protections for all borrowers. It would remove a provision that currently allows mortgagees to require payment of interest up to the next installment due date, and instead require mortgagees to accept a prepayment at any time and in any amount without charging a post-payment charge, notwithstanding the terms of the loan. Under the proposed rule, monthly interest on the debt would be calculated on the actual unpaid principal balance as of the date prepayment is received. Comments on the proposal are due by May 12, 2014.

Through our Lifelong Learning classes and Love of Learning (LOL) series, you will meet scientists who live and work in our region as they share what they know and love about exploring life outdoors. These experiences at Splash can open eyes, warm hearts and expand minds to possibilities for future exploration and pursuits.
Many professional scientists in our region work with nature as their job. They make a living practicing science. However, thousands more lay scientists practice scientific investigation as a pastime and study nature for fun. In fact, many lay scientists become experts in their field of interest because they love nature and they love learning about it.
For lifelong learners, there is always more to explore and investigate in nature. Many professional and lay scientists spend time sharing their knowledge with young people, hoping that nature exploration will give them the joy that they experience. Most believe that every generation inherits the work (and the fun) of preserving wildlife from the previous generation, and is responsible for passing it on to the next one.
Here are some examples of the fields of study that professional and lay scientists pursue…
Entomology is the study of insects. Aquatic Entomology is the study of insects that live in the water during all or part of their lives. Many flying insects such as dragonflies, damselflies, caddisflies spend their larval youth in a stream, where they are the primary prey of fish. You can tell a lot about the quality of the water in a stream by the species living in it.
Botanists study plants. Over 10,000 species of plants live in California, so a botanist has a lot of studying to do just to learn to identify them. But botany is more than just knowing the names of plants. Botanists learn where and when plants bloom, what pollinates them, and what eats them.
Ornithologists study birds. Some are especially interested in birds of prey, such as eagles, hawks, and owls.
Zoologists study animals but the animal kingdom has too many animals for one person to know all about. So, most zoologists focus their study on a particular group of animals.
Support from the community makes it possible to continue serving the 80+ classes of 4th/5th graders who want to come to Splash. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today. Splash is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Tax ID #41-2160618.
Find out about upcoming events, share your outdoor adventures, or ask Splash for help identifying a mystery animal or plant you found!

Hodgenville City Council hired Catherine Ford-Claycomb as city attorney during the city council meeting on April 11.
Claycomb, from Owensboro, is the wife of Tom Claycomb, also a local attorney. They are part of the Claycomb Law Office in Hodgenville, the firm with which the city contracted to provide legal services.
"I am happy to help the city and am looking forward to seeing what all this position entails," Ford-Claycomb said.
Red Hill Cemetery Commission members, meeting at Hodgenville City Hall April 11, developed a fee policy for grave plot owners who wish to double stack a grave.
In the case of a double stacked, or double depth grave, the first grave on the site is dug to a depth to ensure that the first vault can have another vault stacked vertically on top of it and still have the minimum required amount of earth on top of the upper vault lid.
Six people who were indicted for their involvement in a methamphetamine organized crime ring appeared in LaRue County Circuit Court last Friday.
The six people were indicted by the LaRue County Grand Jury in October 2015. According to the indictments, the six people participated in an organized crime ring between August 2014 and September 2015. The indictments further state that those indicted were responsible for the distribution of crystal methamphetamine in LaRue, Nelson and Hardin Counties.
It doesn't look like much to the average eye; a pile of rocks that stretches approximately 300 feet across the top of a LaRue County ridge. A spring pours over a rock ledge 40 feet to the rocks below, just down hill from the site.
It's a strenuous climb up a steep hillside to the top. Loose rocks and muddy terrain render the climb nearly impossible. It makes one wonder: Why was this place chosen for such a large and permanent structure?
A theme has been chosen for the 2016 Lincoln Days Celebration and it comes as no surprise that the theme focuses on the Centennial of the Abraham Lincoln National Historic Park, which is located in LaRue County.
The City of Hodgenville will keep their public pool closed for 2016.
The pool is located at the LaRue County Parks and Recreation Center on City Park Road in Hodgenville. The pool operated on a limited schedule in 2013 and 2014 before being permanently closed in 2015.
Another massive search has been planned as crews and volunteers search the Rolling Fork River for a LaRue County man who has been missing for several months.
Search coordinator and Buffalo Fire Chief Troy Wilmoth said the search for Michael Key, 31 of Hodgenville will take place on Saturday, April 9. He is asking anyone interested in volunteering to meet at a grass pull-off area at 8 a.m. near the intersection of Wayne Ennis Road and Highway 84 in Howardstown.
Seventeen people were recently indicted by the LaRue County Grand Jury, including four people who were indicted for manufacturing methamphetamine.
According to the indictments, the manufacturing meth incident occurred on Wednesday, March 9 as the four people were responsible for knowingly and unlawfully possessing two or more items of equipment or two or more chemicals for the manufacturing of methamphetamine.
Those indicted for manufacturing meth were:
The LaRue County Fiscal Court unanimously passed the rural secondary road recommendations at their meeting on Tuesday, March 22.

New! Learn how to turn various wood types: Watch Video
Stabilized Wood
We are passionate about saving fragile or unusable wood, and are proud of our new up-cycling process which reclaims otherwise waste material and turns it into a durable and stunning basis for show-stopping pieces developed through traditional woodturning.
The stabilizing process uses a vacuum to remove all the air from the wood, replacing it with a heat activated resin that in turn forms a polymer backbone in pieces that would otherwise be too fragile to use. Additionally, resin of different colors and shades can be used to create various effects. When colored resin penetrates wood, it results in unique coloring of the wood, artistically highlighting splendid natural grain figures.
Our stabilized blanks are chosen for their extreme figure caused by spalting, a deterioration of the fibers of the wood by fungi. Stabilized blanks may still may contain voids or areas that are softer than others. This is normal, and, as with any natural wood for turning, you may need to fill voids or reinforce areas with CA glue. Stabilization does add some reinforcement, but the pieces are still essentially wood and may not turn and finish like plastic.
We can also produce Custom Stabilized Wood in colors and sizes to meet your specifications!
Sorry, we are not able to offer discounts or apply coupons to the purchase of stabilized wood blanks.

Article: Fluorescent Silica Nanoparticles Improve Optical Imaging of Stem Cells Allowing Direct Discrimination between Live and Early-Stage Apoptotic Cells[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Highly bright and photostable cyanine dye-doped silica nanoparticles, IRIS Dots, are developed, which can efficiently label human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). The application procedure used to label hMSCs is fast (2 h), the concentration of IRIS Dots for efficient labeling is low (20 μg mL(-1) ), and the labeled cells can be visualized by flow cytometry, confocal microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Labeled hMSCs are unaffected in their viability and proliferation, as well as stemness surface marker expression and differentiation capability into osteocytes. Moreover, this is the first report that shows nonfunctionalized IRIS Dots can discriminate between live and early-stage apoptotic stem cells (both mesenchymal and embryonic) through a distinct external cell surface distribution. On the basis of biocompatibility, efficient labeling, and apoptotic discrimination potential, it is suggested that IRIS Dots can serve as a promising stem cell tracking agent.

Afghan National Army soldiers search a school in Spin Boldak after it was damaged by a bomb blast last year (epa)
August 8, 2007 (RFE/RL) – While almost every hostage crisis in Afghanistan that involves foreigners makes headlines in world media, the abduction and killing of local Afghans often goes unnoticed.
But being kidnapped for ransom is just one of many problems facing ordinary Afghans in the southern and eastern provinces where the Taliban are most active. And the situation has worsened as observers say the Taliban are increasingly targeting innocent civilians.
Ajabgul is a 22-year-old resident of Lashkargah, the administrative center of Helmand Province in southern Afghanistan.
According to international rights group Human Rights Watch, the Taliban's most worrisome new tactic is suicide bombings. The group said some 800 Afghan civilians were killed or wounded in suicide attacks last year.
Held For Ransom
In recent years Helmand has became a center for the Taliban-led insurgency. Ajabgul, who runs a small shop in the city, says he was kidnapped recently by a group of armed men on his way home from work.
"It was around 7:45 in the evening," he said. "They forced me into their car. They blindfolded me. At 1 a.m. they took me somewhere. They tied my hands and put tape on my eyes. There were four other [hostages]. They beheaded two of [them] that night."
Ajabgul said he gave his abductors his brother's phone number and subsequently was freed after his brother agreed to pay the $16,000 ransom that the kidnappers demanded.
General Hussein Andiwal, the chief of police in Helmand Province, confirmed Ajabgul's account of the abduction and said it was not a unique case in the region.
"I know that two or three kidnappings have taken place during the past month, and it is big problem for us," he said. "We are keeping an eye on the kidnapping network, and [those responsible] will be detained soon. I cannot disclose anything more about this issue."
Local Abductions Unnoticed
Unlike the abduction of foreigners – which usually is followed by international media coverage and the active involvement of the Afghan and foreign governments to free the captives – the kidnappings of Afghans go largely unnoticed and unreported. Usually the hostages' family members have to pay the ransom – if they can afford it – in order to free their loved one.
Being kidnapped and held for ransom is one of many security problems that Afghans face, mainly in the country's southern and eastern provinces where the Taliban is strongest.
Tens of civilians have also fallen victim to ongoing military operations in the area as Taliban fighters reportedly hide among villagers.
News agencies quoted Gereshk Governor Abdul Hanaf as saying that some 25 civilians were killed during NATO air strikes in the area on July 28.
Dozens of others were reportedly killed and wounded on August 3, when air strikes targeted two Taliban commanders allegedly meeting in Helmand's Baghran district.
The continuing insecurity caused by the insurgent activity has also resulted in great losses to many local businesses, and in the shutdown of medical facilities and schools.
Terrorizing Schools
The Taliban often threaten people who work for the government or send their children to public schools.
Zuhur Afghan, the spokesman for the Education Ministry, said that 140 schools have been set on fire by militants in the past year – the overwhelming majority of them in the southern and eastern parts of the country.
An estimated 300,000 children have stopped going to school due to the lack of security. Zuhur Afghan said the Taliban have attacked teachers and even young children while on their way to school.
"Since July of last year until today we have lost some 85 people who worked for the education system," he said. "They were killed by the Afghan nation's enemies. Some 50 education workers have been wounded."
Fleeing Insecurity
Speaking at a press conference in Washington on August 6, President Hamid Karzai said the Taliban – which he described as a "defeated" and "frustrated" force – have lately been focusing on soft targets, which means innocent civilians.
"The Taliban do pose dangers to our innocent people: to children going to school, to our clergy, to our teachers, to our engineers, to international aid workers," he said.
According to international rights group Human Rights Watch, the Taliban's most worrisome new tactic is suicide bombings. The group said some 800 Afghan civilians were killed or wounded in suicide attacks last year.
The insecure situation has even forced thousands of Afghans – many of whom have spent many years as refugees in Pakistan – to leave their homes once again.
Some 50,000 people have reportedly been displaced in Helmand Province alone.

If you want to be an innkeeper you should first become a plumber. We own 34 toilets, 29 bathtubs, a hundred thousand miles of water pipes, a gazillion kilometers of plastic tubing woven throughout our floor, 22 faucets made in the former East Germany with replacement parts also formerly made, and a fire suppression system which doubles as a communal shower for everyone in the building when Room #121 decides it would be romantic to light multiple large, vanilla-scented candles in their room for their 24th anniversary. This must be the Sheets On Fire Anniversary, which makes surviving to your 25 year Diamond Anniversary quite an accomplishment.
I am not a plumber, but have become a hell of a plunger. I have a completely worthless degree for this business in Gym Teacher with a Master's in Nutrition, which actually does come in handy when I am eating fists full of cookie dough, which only means I am smart enough to know better.
There are far too many plumbing related topics to cover in one puny blog post. Today, I will cover Water Pouring Through Ceilings, because that is what is happening as we speak. Toilets Overflowing and Creepy Tales From the Crawlspace will have to be covered at a later date.
You may ask, if water is pouring through the ceiling, why in the world is she at her desk, blogging? Since I am not a plumber, I have done all I can do. I placed a bucket under said leak, called the plumber, and can now sit around and act like nothing is really happening. (Acting non-chalant in this business is very important, even when drunks are throwing the dining room furniture.)
Today's dripping is minor compared to the time it came pouring through the ceiling in the bar while we were hosting a photography workshop. There were about fifteen people sitting in the bar, all with very expensive photographic equipment, slide projectors, computers and cocktails when the wave hit. I ran upstairs to check the guestroom above the bar. I could hear singing in the shower, and sloshing. The gentleman in the room had left the shower curtain out, and had slpashed about like a water buffalo until there was six inches of water on the floor.
Since that day, we have posted the following instructions next to all the tubs, which is required reading before showering because you will be tested.

In 1993, a peaceful separation of the nation of Czechoslovakia resulted in the creation of two separate countries: Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Last month there was an announcement that the latter country's name would be changed to Czechia. It was a decision that came after much deliberation by the president, heads of parliament, the prime minister, and the country's defence and foreign ministers. At this early stage, many are already saying that the single-word name sounds a lot like Chechnya.
The new Czechia: Marketing move
Foreign ministry officials say that after the name has been formally approved by parliament, they will submit it to the UN requesting a database update. But they have stressed that Czech Republic will remain as the name of the country for administrative and official matters, while Czechia is to be used abroad as an informal, geographic name. Officials say that the shorter name will be easier for English speakers to pronounce, and that sportspeople, companies and other entities will find it easier to print labels for clothing and numerous other promotional materials.
Czechia Name Change: Long deliberation
According to official reports, the name change has been under deliberation since 1993, following the split. Czech Republic officials have also stated that it is frustrating to have their country's name misspelled a lot of the time, and it is no secret that foreigners find it difficult to pronounce the name as well. The officials argue that the name "Czech Republic" only has about two decades' worth of history, whereas "Czechia" was first used in Latin in around 1634, and in English around the mid-19th century.
Arguments against the name change include the fact that the United States and the United Kingdom also have 2-word names. However, despite their longer names, these countries are much better known on a worldwide scale compared to Czech Republic. Likewise, they have abbreviations (the US/USA and the UK) that are accepted and recognised globally. Czech Republic, on the other hand, does not have an abbreviated name.
It's early days yet and things may not go smoothly for the name change campaign, as detractors have their say. In any case, the country will have to wait for the UN to approve the shorter name, even if only for commercial and marketing purposes.

In the past decade the global financial assistance for AIDS responses increased tremendously and the donor community provided greater resources to community responses. Yet little is known about the global magnitude of these resources and their allocation among HIV and AIDS activities and services. To address this knowledge gap, this report pulls together evidence from several different sources (donor data bases, surveys of civil society organizations, country funding profiles) to determine, among other things, how funds are reaching civil society and community-based organizations, how these funds are being used, and the degree to which these organizations rely on other sources of funding. The analysis suggests that funding flows have increased dramatically for civil society organizations (CSOs), reaching at least $690 million per year on average during the period 20032009. However, much smaller funding is reaching organizations at local level.The report documents the impact achieved by this funding. Traditionally, civil society organizations have been perceived at times to be providers of humanitarian aid, innovators in implementing responses adapted to local needs, or inefficient actors diverting public funds from more effective uses. The report argues that current evidence shows that community responses play a useful complementary role to national AIDS programs that has been achieved with relatively little funding. Contrary to a widespread view, the report highlights that community responses add resources to national programs. In Kenya, Nigeria and Zimbabwe, substantial mobilization of resources in the form of volunteers are mobilized by communities. There is a strong risk that in the current environment of increased resource scarcity, prevention programs implemented by civil society organizations would be cut unless there is strong evidence of value for money being generated. Community-based organizations are ill equipped to answer that question, but there is scope for improving the results that they generate. The report argues that improving coordination with national programs, strengthening consistency between local activities and HIV epidemics, building stronger network of civil society organizations, and mobilizing sustainable funding are the most important ways for community responses to move forward and address the challenges faced by community responses.

Vibrating baseboard heat pipes
Do you also hear gurgling?
I installed "float" type air eliminators on several of the base board radiators and this has helped tremendously.
If this is a new recent problem then air must be getting in when the system cools down and creates a vaccum. The expansion tank may need to be looked at. I'd have a Pro come in...it's probably worth it in the long run...
The pipes have been bled four times, and the plumbers have even installed an in-line air bleeder. The in-line air bleeder solved the gurgling problems, but the knocking persists. The knocking has even appeared in different places throughout our home (about every 2 weeks or so, new knocking appears). The colder it is outside, the louder the knocking is.
The plumbers have said that this is normal (caused by the expansion of the pipes as the hot water circulates through them) and to be expected with this type of system and a new house as it settles (the house was just finished this past July), but I find that extremely hard to believe, because if that were the case, I KNOW that no one would ever have hot water baseboard heating installed! Who could tolerate it? We're very much at our wit's end with this problem; if anyone has any ideas, we'd be more than grateful if you could share them with us!
Thank you for any help, and Happy Holidays!
