The Crescent City is coming to Cleveland and we are welcoming her with open arms! In a few weeks a remarkable group of nearly 40 New Orleans musicians, tradition bearers bringing 70+ years of incredible music, will help us honor Fats Domino and his longtime collaborator Dave Bartholomew as American Music Masters.
I fell in love with New Orleans through the LP recordings of Professor Longhair, Fats Domino, Huey Piano Smith, and the Wild Tchoupitoulas—and one very well worn truckstop cassette compilation tape that featured "Carnival Time," "Mardi Gras Mambo,""Iko Iko," "Walking to New Orleans" and a handful of other songs. This blossomed when as a twenty-something I traveled there with Robert Gordon—not the singer but the Memphis-born music scholar and filmmaker—the perfect tour guide to what was clearly his second city. The trip started in Philadelphia when we climbed into a massive 1969 Cadillac Sedan Deville—and headed south. Somewhere in Virginia we realized that if we shut the car off it would not restart, so we kept it running all the way to Atlanta, added a passenger and continued directly to New Orleans.
As if on cue we picked up WWOZ as we blew by Gulfport and flowed into New Orleans. Our goal was to arrive by Thursday night so that we could catch a bunch of young kids with horns and drums killing it at a neighborhood bar—the bar was Thelma's Glass House and the band was the Rebirth Brass Band. It was an incredible welcome party. From there things blurred over the next few days but included stops at Roccaforte's Half Moon Café, Whitey's Seafood and Billiards, Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, the Camellia Grill, Cooter Brown's, Rockin Doopsie on stage somewhere (maybe Tipitina's or the Maple Leaf), a Sunday night "rehearsal" party with the Wild Magnolias—who we then marched with on Fat Tuesday—and through it all incredible music and warmth from the people.
New Orleans has been hit hard since then. Many of those venues likely don't exist and in some instances the people are now gone as well, but the music endures. The music endures. This beautiful mixture of blues, rock, soul, funk, jazz, rumba, gospel, field chants, hand claps, syncopated rolls, and marches, all boiling together to make a music that is so powerful, so rooted in its place, that it transports you there—and in so doing, takes you to the very beginning of rock and roll and back.
This spirit will fill the Palace Theatre in Cleveland on November 13 when American Music Masters week culminates with a tribute concert featuring Dr. John and the Lower 911 as the house band (yes, the house band!) joined by Hall of Fame Inductee Dave Bartholomew, Hall of Fame Inductee Lloyd "Mr. Personality" Price, Irma Thomas, Robert Parker, Toots and the Maytals, and my pals from twenty-something years ago, the Rebirth Brass Band.

Brazil Travel guide
Brazil : Michelin's recommendations
Say "Brazil" and people will think of samba, bossa nova, carnival, Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Săo Paulo, beaches, football and the Amazon. Fascinating and contradictory Brazil never ceases to amaze tourists who go there, in particular its incredible melting pot of Indians, whites and blacks who have been part of this society from the beginning.
Where to start? This huge, continent-size country has everything in spades - culture, sports and nature. Brazil's prodigious natural world boasts extraordinary flora and fauna (including 20% of the world's known species). The country also contains the world's largest swamp, the Pantanal, famous for its exceptional ornithological fauna. Mangrove swamps and lagoons unfold along its shorelines, while certain regions are filled with pampas and dry savannahs. Not to mention the Amazon Forest which is finally turning towards sustainable development. You can see for yourself while enjoying the pace of life on the river on an excursion between Manaus and Belém.
There are also many opportunities for tours with a cultural focus, to take in the colonial architecture and Baroque churches in its historical cities from Salvador to Recife, Ouro Preto and Mariana. And Brasilia is a triumph of modern architecture.
And let's not forget the sun and beaches that are the heart of Brazil's exuberant spirit along with its music and dance. From north to south, you can relax in the sand at Porto de Galinhas and Praia do Forte, or at the world-famous beaches in Rio, or at Trindade near Sao Paulo.

Reviews for Coconut Pecan Cupcakes
"These are delicious!! It is awfully sweet, but very tasty. The only problem I had was that the cupcake batter didn't rise much. I filled them almost full so it didn't really matter. Maybe it isn't supposed to. It was still yummy."
"WOW!!! These were amazing!! I made these for a mothers day lunch and every single one of them went! I was kinda disappointed that there wasnt any leftover for me to eat later :)"
"These are really good, although we found them a bit too sweet for our taste. Will make again and try cutting back on the sugar and use unsweetened coconut next time. Overall - a great cupcake!"
"These cupcakes were the best!!!! Everyone loved them..... very moist!"
"These cupcakes were awesome! My husband loved them. They are probably the best cupcakes I've ever had!"

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Annuals
The Inside Scoop on Shovels
by David Lyon
Shovels (left) and spades are both useful garden tools
The shovel is perhaps the best multiuse tool in our garden sheds. Dig a trench, turn over some sod for a new garden patch, make cement, move a pile of manure, compost, gravel or sand--nothing is so essential in these basic tasks as a well-worn shovel. It's so familiar that hardly anyone thinks about how it works. But let's take a closer look.
To American gardeners, a shovel means a round-point, cupped, steel blade attached to a four-foot handle. The tool evolved into its present form for railroad construction in the mid-19th century.
European gardeners hardly recognize such a tool--their traditional digging implement is a short-handled spade with a nearly flat blade.
Both tools have solid garden roles, but each is designed for different tasks. The straight edge of a spade is for cutting. It can't be beat for lines that are true and smooth-sided trenches. (The word is related to the Greek word for sword.) With its short handle, a spade is well suited for work in confined spaces--down near the ground or among plants. A shovel is shaped to lift and toss earth or gravel. (It's a linguistic cousin of "scoop.") The long handle lets you work standing erect and increases the reach of your throw. Many Americans, however, use the word "shovel" indiscriminately to mean either a shovel or a spade.
How a Shovel Works
The shovel consists of three tools in one: a handle (lever) and a cutting blade (inclined plane) formed on the leading edge of a scoop. The blade cuts into the soil by concentrating muscle power or weight onto the sharp point. The handle provides leverage for lifting or prying the soil. The fulcrum for the lever action is the surface of the soil when the blade is inserted for digging. When you dig, you first cut and then pry. The longer the handle, the greater the leverage.

The Blog of Darryl Dash
This blog is about how Jesus changes everything. He changes:
Our relationship with God
Our relationship with others
Our vocations - how we live and work in this world
Our ministries
This blog exists to explore some of the ways that Jesus changes everything. It provides resources and articles that will help you think about the ways that Jesus can change every part of your life.
The Lord himself invites you to a conference concerning your immediate and endless happiness, and He would not have done this if He did not mean well toward you. Do not refuse the Lord Jesus who knocks at your door; for He knocks with a hand which was nailed to the tree for such as you are. Since His only and sole object is your good, incline your ear and come to Him. Hearken diligently, and let the good word sink into your soul. (C.H. Spurgeon, All of Grace)

I work with what I'm given, which amounted to that. So yeah, I called that one wrong.
Okay guys, here's a plan if you hate each other. Drop everything and ignore each other. No flames, no problems. Old, old PD style.
Leave the 517551789159873512789 page dramas in your minds and stop wasting bandwidth with your nagging to people you'll never meet on the streets.

And I don't care if I'm late posting this, I'm getting my point across! You won't get any desert if you pull someone else's hair.
Can you please just delete this Pichubro?
We do not delete threads around here. I have been very clear on this precedent.
I just didn't see a point in having it in SPAM
It's a sticky! You ought to be honoured. A STICKY.
And you know, who's the one pissed I don't know, Nanaki. I sure didn't go yelling about the incident to poor ol' Peeki. :yes: Nice work.
I'm so sorry Ninetails.
I now know that I shouldn't ask the most active global moderator to moderate

This is playing out well, isn't it? I can feel the love.
there is just so much luv in this thread huh Ed? <3<3
God damnit Hikari don't invite anyone else
No. We'd get pissed off and probably actually insult you. No one's started yet.
You're not saying that you're boosting activity. You're saying that you're going to invite someone who'll piss everybody off to no end.
But really, we don't want more people. We want GOOD PEOPLE to post. Not you or your friends. You aren't helping. You're posting shitty things in spam. Even the people in spam hate you, which is saying something. Nakia? Please tell me you don't mean me?

Armed to the teeth with fuck all, surely he knows that his posting here is meaningless? Running around bitching... Stick to the Misc., old man. Some of us got restricted for a reason you know, and being able to avoid your idiocy was part of the deal.

Offseason Overview: Buffalo Bills [8:24 PM]
ESPN reports: 'Talking playoffs for a team that won just three games last season seems a little absurd. But based on their offseason, the Bills are close to being a playoff-caliber team. With Bledsoe in the fold and players such as wide receivers Eric Moulds and Peerless Price and Fletcher, the Bills are certainly a team on the rise. Going from the basement to the playoffs might be too tall an order. However, expecting eight wins is reasonable.'

Buchsbaum: Steelers sign slot WR Mathis [12:45 PM]
Pro Football Weekly reports: Since they signed Mathis, don�t be surprised if the Steelers trade disappointing former first-round pick Troy Edwards to the Bills, if they can. Otherwise, they may just let him go and hope he doesn�t sign with the Bills. Tom Donahue, the Bills' GM, was the driving force behind the Steelers taking Edwards in the first round.

One thing I've been really impressed with when it came to University life this year is the number of organisations that are constantly working together to raise awareness on various social issues in need of discussion. Keeping up with the theme of the autism awareness month, four university organisations namely MHSA, SIERA, KSU and BETAPSI got together with Inspire in organising a very interesting and hands-on event entitled Autism Awareness.

With numerous apps on our phones, tablets and laptops constantly chiming and demanding our attention, there is little space left for quiet time of reflection. Add the student life to that equation and it becomes even more stressful. While trying to work on upcoming deadlines, staying focused can be challenging with so many distractions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Tasty, organic, shade-grown and cheap. This is wonderful coffee -- especially for the price! And I feel good about it being organic and shade-grown. It's perfect! September 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amandalivesinhercoffeecup Our very favorite We've tried a lot, and we just keep coming back to this one. It's our favorite! September 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Got2havecoffee YOU CANNOT BEAT THE QUALITY, TASTE, VALUE & IT'S ORGANIC!!! I am a serious coffee snob. I only drink quality, organic (non-organic coffee crops are one of the most pesticided crops grown) coffee. I have spared no expense on exploring various coffees, and always come back to this one. You simply cannot beat the taste, the quality of the beans, and then if you buy it on a Wednesday, you get double rewards! So after just 3 bags of $8.99 coffee purchased on Wednesdays, you get a free bag (value $8.99), which reduces the cost of the 3 bags to $6.99. WHERE can you get quality, organic coffee (12 oz. at that!), for $6.99 that tastes amazing????? Not. Just buy it and support organic coffee and the environment!!!! You will not be disappointed.

ZF-7089: Zend_Application_Resource_Modules::init() bootstraps all existing module bootstrap classes regardless of request
h4. Behaviour: In Zend_Application_Resource_Modules::init(), all Bootstrap classes for all modules are loaded, regardless of what module was requested.
h4. Effect: This has the following side-effect: config ini keys that are set for each module are overwritten by each module when its bootstrap() method is called. The (unwanted) result is that the key is set for the last module encountered, not for the module requested.
h4. Example: setting layout resource in the config ini:
resources.layout.layout = "default" resources.modules[] = extranet.resources.layout.layout = "extranet" intranet.resources.layout.layout = "intranet"
Also the module paths are not set explicitly, but by only setting
That means modules are registered in the order they are encountered when iterating through the modules directory. h4. Result: the layout is set to 'intranet', even if the default or extranet module were requested. h4. Suggested solution: Zend_Application_Resource_Modules::init() should check for the requested module and only instantiate that bootstrap class. The problem is that the request is not yet set in the frontcontroller when this is run. Is there a workaround? If the request was set, it could be something like this: the foreach starting on line 65:
foreach (array_keys($modules) as $module) { if ($module === $default) { continue; }
should be changed to:
$current = $front->getRequest()->getModuleName(); foreach (array_keys($modules) as $module) { if ($module === $default) { continue; } if ($module === $current) { continue; }
That's indeed a bit unclear how the modules resource is tied to the actual application modules.
A solution could be to delegate the role of bootstrapping the modules to a plugin on routeShutdown.
This can be done by replacing the following line in Zend_Application_Resource_Modules
by this one
and creating a Zend_Controller_Plugin_ModulesBootstrapper plugin as follows:
class Zend_Controller_Plugin_ModulesBootstrapper extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract { public function routeShutdown(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request) { $bootstrap = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getParam('bootstrap'); $bootstraps = $bootstrap->getResource('modules'); $module = $request->getModuleName(); if (isset($bootstraps[$module])) { $bootstraps[$module]->bootstrap(); } } }
Although the side effects of this method need to be evaluated.
Quick precision: ````
is actually to be added after the foreach.
There were some specific problems addressed in the design goals of Zend_Application: * Autoloading for all modules should be setup up-front. This way code may selectively use information from any module without needing to know where that module resides. * Modules may need to setup front controller plugins; in particular, any given module may need to setup routes appropriate to its own controllers. The appropriate time to do this is during bootstrapping, as new routeStartup() plugins may not be added during routeStartup(). * Bootstrapping occurs prior to dispatch, and thus is request agnostic. This is to facilitate the re-use of bootstrapping in order to create service end points, one-off scripts, and to bootstrap tests. Thus, bootstrapping must occur outside of the front controller dispatch loop.
What you are suggesting goes counter to these goals entirely, and is actually impossible in the current design. The module is not known until after routing -- and routing happens during the front controller dispatch sequence. Additionally, based on the sequence of actions triggered, the module selected may change (as an example, if an exception is thrown, the ErrorController in the default module will likely be selected). I'd recommend registering a postDispatch() plugin either from your individual modules or at the application level that selects the layout based on the module.
As I've also made the same mistake as Matthijs, I think that the whole point of Zend_Application_Resource_Modules should be better clarified in the docs, as it's a bit confusing right now (in my opinion). Thanks.

My Mini is a second-gen, and I think that one is easier to rockbox. I didn't perform the CF card swap, or load rockbox on after the swap though...that was all done before I got it. All I've done is update the RB build on it.
Everybody's ears have different frequency ranges that they can hear, and different headphones are the same way.
My approach is, when I either get a new player, or new headphones, I throw on several albums that I know by heart....that I've heard thousands of times over the last 15-20 years...and by trial and error, move the sliders to and fro until I get the right balance of sound. I like bass as much as the next guy, but only if it does not overwhelm the mids and treble.
Where the rockbox EQ can get confusing is that it allows you to change the frequency of each of the 5 bands, if you want to. I'd recommend playing around with a software one on your computer first, so you can get a feel for what numerical frequency changes what sound.(example pic of the foobar2000 EQ is below....freq. numbers are at the bottom of the sliders)
It can take a bit of work, don't get me wrong...my Mini EQ settings are different than my Sansas, because of the different hardware, so I had to do it all over again....but the end results were worth it. I have a great-sounding player with 30GB usable capacity, that still isn't huge like a iPod Video or Classic or a Zune120.

Thanks for the help Marvin. I (kinda) understand how a EQ works, but not enough to know how to use it properly. I have just started experimenting with the one in my car due to not being able to hear music well, but that only has Bass and Treble control, so it rather simple. Looks like I got a bit of work ahead of me (beyond finding and modding a iPod Mini).
Would be nice if someone here could make a EQ guide to help out audio newbies like me....... To be honest, I'm surprised no one has done this before.
Because EQ doesn't err, really need a guide? You just adjust the sliders until you like the sound.

Graveyard : FutureSonics Atrio | Cowon D2 16GB Black + 16GB SDHC | SoundMAGIC PL30 | Koss PortaPro | iPod Touch 2G 8GB
At the moment, my main player is a Rockboxed 24 GB Fuze V2 that starts up in PictureFlow. Have you tried that? Tell it to start up in PictureFlow -- and, tell PictureFlow to use WPS Integration "Via Tracklist" and see if you don't think it out-slicks ANYTHING you've tried before.
It sure out-slicks the stock Sansa firmware, and my Zune 30, Zune 80, and my wife's Ipod.
It's nice too, to be able to press the Menu button, go up to the Files entry, then the MicroSD card, and watch hours and hours of video.
An amazing amount of stuff to get lost in a shirtpocket (yet big enough to ENJOY viewing for extended periods of time), and, when all else fails, I can hand it to my kid and let him play Bubbles and Jewels (which he is quite expert at, and, enjoys enough to stop being squirrelly).
I'll back up the anti-rockbox sentiment. Tried it, hated it, and i just ordered a Fuze+ yesterday to replace my fuze
If your argument for rockbox is that it is slicker than an ipod, thats great for you
Trying to support rockbox because of its video capabilities and games on the other hand...LOL
Rockbox isn't for everyone...learned that from experience. But personally, I agree with a couple of people on here, I can't imagine my music life without it now...but if you don't like Rockbox by any means, then the Fuze+ is a good upgrade from a Fuze.

Sansa Fuze 8+16GB Rockboxed
I don't "need" slick. I set it up so that my wife (and others I may show the player) would see Rockbox as something other than geekfodder.
As to the video capabilities, it beats the bloody hell out of Sansa's pathetic half-baked implementation of a video player -- in SO many ways that there's just no comparison at all.
The games are nice throw-in time-wasters, and my kid likes them. Maybe YOU don't ever have to deal with a cranky kid, but plenty of folks DO run into that situation. Being able to hand him a Fuze and instantly morph from cranky-tantrum mode to "oooh, FUN" mode... WELL worth the price of admission (and then some, since the price is $0.00 for this great little FAIB system).
So, in closing, just what IS your major malfunction? RB packs more oomph under the hood than all of Sansa's home-made firmware tries in the aggregate. I'm guessing you either never used it, or didn't even look at the manual (there's an exhaustive PDF for EACH port), or, your shorts were mislabled on the size-tag. If the latter, darn, that's really got to smart.
Uh...did i write something that i can't see? What are you so offended by?
Oh and its cheerios, not wheaties. Get it?
Your post seemed to post rockbox above the ipod in terms of games and video. In both cases, terribly untrue. Comparing the fuze to the ipod and then praising the abilities of fuze's multimedia capabilities suggests as much, anyways.
Further, you seem to be of the mind that rockbox will never happen for the fuze+
And the resolution of the fuze+ and screen size will soon blow away anything rockbox fuze can offer once fuze+ rockbox is offered. And videos in general on the fuze+ will be much nicer, you just have to convert them (oh no!).
And, whether or not YOU need slick doesn't convince anyone that they don't. I wasn't aware that we were discussing how much you love rockbox; on the contrary, i thought we were talking about why some people dislike it. Go ahead, like rockbox, i wont stop you, and i never said i would.
Who pissed in YOUR cheerios? (and kudos to who did lololol so funny)
Wow, it's rare that new meat leave such a foul taste.
Do you ALWAYS do the miffed drama queen Grand Entrance thing with EVERY forum you join? Come storming in, feigned indignation, uber-dick-waving mode, foaming at the mouth, firing at anything that moves?
I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you. Your classic "moving the goalposts" tactic is... boring -- and in any event. I don't expect you to last very long around here -- it's generally a FRIENDLY place, and argumentative thorns clearly chafing for a FIGHT don't tend to, ahem... "prosper."
Enjoy the object of your iAffections. Or iAffectations, or iWhateverTF. Knock yourself out, kitten.
Bye now.

Reasons Why You Should Sell Your Bike (Yea Right).......
Posted: 17 Jun 2009 04:00 AM PDT
It seems this slow economy has some politicians thinking with their butt rather than their head (well more than they usually do). Not only do some in Congress think that it would be a good idea to add motorcycles into the "Cash For Clunkers" program. Supposedly that would help the environment by getting gas guzzling pollutant spewing vehicles off the road. What it really would do is help the automakers sell more new cars.
Now the Honorable Governor Schwartzenegger of California has made a suggestion to some of his constituents suffering through this financial slowdown. Hey, if you need some extra cash to help pay your bills why don't you just sell your motorcycle! That's a good idea because there are loads of people looking to buy bikes right now.
In his letter to the "Gov", Tim Buche the President of the Motorcycle Industry Council brings up some great points countering the sell proposal. He also gives examples of how some cities have embraced the idea of getting people to ride their motorcycles. It would be sensible if more cities and states adopted some of these ideas. Here's an excerpt from that letter:
"Whether you ride or not, everyone can appreciate what a two-wheeler does for the environment versus a car, even a hybrid.
It starts with hundreds or even thousands of pounds less in raw materials, and that can include the toxic elements used in hybrid car batteries. There's less energy required to ship a motorcycle from factory to dealership. With smaller engines and fewer components, there's less use of motor oil and chemicals throughout the life of the bike. And, of course, there's less use of gasoline, as a motorcycle or scooter can get two, three, sometimes four times the MPG of four-wheelers using the same roads.
Less fuel use means less CO2 emissions, now recognized as a pollutant and long known to cause climate change. Altogether, motorcycles are very green machines, capable of everyday transportation (particularly in sunny California) while minimizing waste.
Motorcycles reduce traffic congestion and parking problems, benefiting all manner of motorists. In California, the only state to permit lane-sharing, motorcycles can continue through stopped traffic, thereby saving time, aggravation and fuel. This also reduces pollution, as motorcycles don't just have to sit there with an idling engine while getting nowhere.
Not far from Sacramento, the city of San Francisco is a showcase for all the benefits of motorcycling. There are no bridge tolls for riders during commuting hours. There are thousands of designated motorcycle parking spaces, each one costing far less per hour than car spaces. Motorcycles are allowed to sensibly park where cars can't. The SF Municipal Transportation Authority recognizes that motorcycles help keep the city moving.
Worldwide, many other cities have taken advantage of these same benefits. As American roadways inevitably become more green with regard to choice of vehicles, we also should embrace more motorcycling.
Motorcycling is much more than a weekend thrill for enthusiasts, customizers and collectors. Motorcycles are a practical part of the answer to our economic and ecological troubles."
Of course these ideas from the government come as the price of gasoline is rolling back towards record profits levels.

I'd expect better from Nat Geo :-/
By JESSYLEPPARD
from Hollywood, CA
I was VERY EXCITED to be purchasing this shirt. Ma Di Tau and her cub look beautiful as pictured, and the movie is AWESOME! Unfortunately, when I received the shirt, it certainly did not appear as it does on the website. The cub was practically brown, and Ma Di Tau was pretty dark herself. The backdrop colors made it look like a blotchy image from far away and the bottom of Ma Di Tau's mouth had hints of blue on it. I've never seen a lion with any blue hues :-( I called Nat Geo expressing my concerns and that I did not want to return the shirt because I did want my money to go to the cause. I had a very friendly representative who said that they'd sent me another shirt and hopefully it is a better looking shirt. My shirt does arrive a few days later, and much to my disappointment, it looks exactly like the first one :-( I didn't call back, and just kept the shirt. In summary, the image on this site is not the same quality and detailed image as on the shirt. Instead the lions are brown and the shirt just looks like a gold and brown blotchy image from a few feet back. The only good thing about this shirt is that it is true to size and was a very soft feeling t-shirt.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

TUCSON, Ariz. – Arizona football concluded its 20th practice of fall camp at Kindall Field/Sancet Stadium on Thursday morning. The Cats were in helmets, shorts and shells for the nearly two-hour practice on the grass fields. Below are head coach Rich Rodriguez's comments following practice:
On freshman linebacker Jake Matthews:
"He is a really good football player first and foremost and he is a good athlete. He is a good baseball player too, he got drafted. He has good size and I think he is going to end up being a contributor for us at some point. He has a great attitude and he is a tough guy, so I'm really excited about Jake."
On quarterback Javelle Allen:
"Javelle has gotten better. We got on him pretty good in the spring because I don't think his focus and work ethic was as good as it could be. He had a good summer and has had a pretty good camp. He has gotten a little bit better every day and he is still a redshirt freshman but he has gotten in the mix with his play the last couple of days."
On the receivers:
"They are working. We lost Austin and then losing Matt Scott and Dan Buckner was a really good player for us too. David Richards has missed all of camp with an injury so you those are three veterans on the receiving core. So we have had some young guys that have had to play. A couple of freshmen, Nate Phillips and Samajie Grant are going to play for us. They have worked hard and we don't have the experience we would like but I think we'll be ok."
On freshman Derrick Turituri:
"All three of those freshman linebackers, Derrick Turituri, Scooby Wright and DeAndre' Miller, will play as freshmen. What roles, it will be in different situations but I'm pretty excited about those guys."

I am currently diagnosed with UCTD with a high probability of Lupus. No major organ involvement. For months i had a fever of 99-100 F, this eventually led to the diagnostic tests that revealed the high ANA titer, referral to Rheumatologist and diagnosis.
I am currently also dealing with colostridium difficile, or C. diff. It is exhausting to say the least.
Currently I have been off of the prescribed vancomycin for 9 days. I am having a small increase in BM and stomach bloating. I also have a 99.1-99.5F temp off and on throughout the day.
How can a physician determine if it is once again the lupus or autoimmune condition causing the raise in temp, or the c.diff?
Also, I seem to notice an increased temp during ovulation and premenstrually, would lupus have anything to do with this?
I seem to be having a hard time fighting off infection, and I imagine this too has to do with the autoimmune condition. My WBC is low (3.7)

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Johns Hopkins University scientists today report their successful generation of self-organized vascular networks from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) planted in an engineered matrix.
Writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), Sharon Gerecht, Ph.D., and her colleagues show that the iPSCs can codifferentiate into early vascular cells, which can then mature into endothelial cells and pericytes that are able to self-organize to form microvascular networks on hydrogel scaffolding. Dr. Gerecht et al. also report having successfully implanted these lab-grown vessels into mice.
The researchers note that this approach could have implications for regenerative medicine.
"In demonstrating the ability to rebuild a microvascular bed in a clinically relevant manner, we have made an important step toward the construction of blood vessels for therapeutic use," Dr. Gerecht, said in a statement. "Our findings could yield more effective treatments for patients afflicted with burns, diabetic complications, and other conditions in which vasculature function is compromised."
Added study co-author Sravanti Kusuma: "That these vessels survive and function inside a living animal is a crucial step in getting them to medical application."
The team said its next steps are to examine the 3D structures these lab-grown vessels form, and to see whether they can deliver blood to damaged tissues.
"Self-organized vascular networks from human pluripotent stem cells in a synthetic matrix" appeared online in PNAS July 16.

I was going to say "Really? is that the best there is? what about..." when I realised that all of my alternates were Polish/CzechEmma Watson, Kiera Knightley, Cheryl Cole, Liz Hurley, Kelly Brook, Kate Middleton.
As for the Scots, I'm sure I read that the women they have representing their tourist boards are generally Polish or Czech.
Generally, because it's hard to find a local thin enough to avoid the expense of a gatefold cover on their brochure*
What are they trying to tell you? "Come to Bonnie Scotland where this lass will find you strangely attractive, if only to avoid deportation when her visa runs out.

The fence at the Gadsden County Jail is on track to be repaired, as the Gadsden's Board of County Commissioners voted to award a bid to a company to handle its repair at its July 21 meeting.
Commissioner Eric Hinson asked if there were any Gadsden County companies that could be commissioned for the repair. County Administrator Robert Presnell said of the three companies to bid for the project, none were from the county.
A Gadsden County teacher was arrested July 14 for allegedly battering a teenage boy involved in a fight with her daughter.
Nekeshia Harris, 40, of Quincy, has been arrested on a charge of first-
degree battery — which is a misdemeanor — for the alleged incident, which occurred July 2 at West Gadsden High School. Harris was employed at the school for a district summer program. She works at Carter Parramore Academy during the school year.
A Havana man was killed in Tallahassee on July 15 after breaking into a couple's home while apparently high on the drug molly.
Jarod Clemons, 27, had come into the Havana Police Department earlier that day complaining that he had taken a bad batch of the drug. HPD Chief Tracy Smith said Clemons was sweating profusely, demanding water and removing his clothing.
Body camera footage released by HPD pm Monday shows Clemons shirtless while sweating profusely and pacing around excitedly.
The Gadsden County Board of County Commissioners held a special meeting Tuesday afternoon where the commissioners interviewed candidates for the county's attorney position.
The four candidates to interview were Sten Sliger of Quincy, Melissa VanSickle of Tallahassee, former county attorney Thornton Williams and current county attorney David Weiss.
After hearing all attorneys speak, the commissioners decided to make their selection at a later regular meeting.
After sharpening her chops as an educator and school administrator for 26 years in Central Florida counties, East Gadsden High School's newest principal decided to come back home.
"It has always been my desire to come back home and work in the county where I got my education, and the opportunity presented itself so here I am," said Sonya Jackson, a 1982 graduate of Greensboro High School.
At least one nursery in Gadsden County is hoping it will be one of five across the state to be chosen as its region's medical marijuana producer.
Lawmakers legalized Charlotte's Web last year. It's a marijuana strain that doesn't get you high but will reduce the tumors of cancer patients and the frequency of seizures in epilepsy patients. Over the last year, production of the drug has been in limbo as opponents of its legalization exhausted attempts to prevent its production and subsequent sell.
The Board of Gadsden County Commissioners voted to extend the 6-cent local option fuel tax until the end of 2044 at a special meeting this past month.
The matter was voted on at the June 30 special meeting instead of a normal commission meeting because the county had to alert the state of whether it wanted to extend the tax by the next day.
The tax produces millions of dollars worth of additional tax revenue for the county by taxing every gallon of motor fuel and diesel fuel sold in the county.
In a shady cul-de-sac tucked in the county woods between Havana and Quincy lies an animal hospital nursing the types of wild animals many think should be left for dead.
Instead of leaving these sometime scary animals to die in the wild, St. Francis Wildlife Association takes them in, caring for sick, disabled and wounded wild animals like grey-horned owls with broken wings, possums that have been orphaned and tortoises with their shells caved in (a visible sign that they've been struck by a car) until they're able to once again survive in the wild.
St. James A.M.E. Church opened its dining hall doors Monday evening to host a discussion on the drug molly and the impact it's having on Gadsden County.
Sgt. Rodney Moore of the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office organized the event after a young woman he knows was being processed into the county jail and he could tell she was high on the drug.
Chattahoochee hosted its second annual Independence Day celebration by the river.

The FYS Library Session
An Introduction to Information Literacy
The First Year Seminar experience provides students with the "intellectual transition" to Hope College" and "college-level learning in the liberal arts." Within this framework, the library session is designed to give students early exposure to academic research and the unique educational role of the library/librarians. During the session, students will be actively introduced to fundamental concepts of information literacy, concepts that will get them started on the right track as they begin their own college-level research. As librarians, we hope to leave the students with a positive awareness of the library as well as piqued curiosity about their own existing information-seeking habits.
It is our goal that students emerge from the session with:
- a simple knowledge of the physical library building and the various services available within
- a better understanding of how/where the library and its resources fit into the broader universe of information
- a sense of what it is the library and librarians have to do with their college education
- a feeling that they are welcome at the library and that librarians are approachable, relatable, and in possession of certain abilities that will be useful them
- a basic familiarity with the library's "1Search"
- a growing recognition of how "research" is already a big part of their lives, and that they are capable of adding a more robust academic dimension to skills they already possess
Although the standard FYS library session is very much a general introduction, we encourage you to collaborate with your FYS librarian in the development of course-integrated library/information literacy goals and objectives for your students. We would be happy to discuss options for "FYS-appropriate" assignments or activities related to your overall course theme or topic. If you already have something in mind, we would encourage you to share it with us in advance so we can better prepare for students as they come looking for help. In addition, we welcome the opportunity to work with your students in a follow-up "library lab," or even meet with them in small groups outside of class time.
Scheduling Your Library Session
Contact: Patti Carlson, Administrative Assistant
(616) 395-7790 firstname.lastname@example.com
After you have contacted Patti, you will receive a confirmation e-mail from one of the Research and Instruction Librarians which will include the day/time and place of your library session.
Most sessions are done in either the Library Teaching Lab or the Granberg Room (both are located on the second floor of the library). However, in order to accommodate all sessions, some may be conducted in another lab on campus if there are overlapping date requests.
Plan to schedule the session during one of your regular class periods (note: it will take the full 50 minutes)
- It should be held early in the semester. Due to the introductory nature of the library session, having it right away in September is ideal.
- Reserve your session by the end of July to ensure it gets booked on the day you want
- Have a couple of alternate days in mind – just in case
We look forward to working with you and your FYS students!

VMmark 1.x
The Need for a Standard Virtualization Benchmark
Conventional server benchmarks in use today were designed to measure the performance of a single application running on a single operating system, inside a single physical computer. However, these benchmarks cannot accurately measure the performance of a single application running inside a virtual machine, nor can they measure the performance of a single hardware platform used to run several virtual machines at once. As a result, there is increasing interest in a more effective solution for measuring the performance and scalability of virtualized IT environments.
VMmark: The Industry's First Virtualization Benchmark
VMmark is a free tool that hardware vendors, virtualization software vendors and other organizations use to measure the performance and scalability of applications running in virtualized environments. This virtualization benchmark software features a novel tile-based scheme for measuring application performance and provides a consistent methodology that captures both the overall scalability and individual application performance.
Traditional Benchmarking vs. VMmark Tile-Based Benchmarking
VMmark: The First Industry-Standard Virtualization Benchmark
VMware developed VMmark as a standard methodology for comparing virtualized systems. The benchmark system in VMmark comprises a series of "sub-tests" that are derived from commonly used load-generation tools, as well as from benchmarks developed by the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC®). In parallel to VMmark, VMware is a member of the SPEC Virtualization subcommittee and is working with other SPEC members to create the next-generation virtualization benchmark.

Tradition-Rich Women's Swim/Dive Opens 2013-13 With Energy, Experience
In her three decades at the helm of the Princeton women's swimming and diving program, head coach Susan Teeter could point to an incredible array of numbers that highlight the program's success during her career.
From the 16 Ivy League titles, including 11 of the last 14, to the 203 team wins and the .806 winning percentage, the numbers support the fact that Teeter has helped build an impressive force in collegiate swimming.
But Teeter is most proud of the tradition that has been created, and it is that tradition that keeps her inspired. She can enjoy those who helped build it in updated photos and information that she has helped adorn the walls of DeNunzio Pool.
And she can see those who continue to build it in the water.
That tradition is a source of pride for the 2013-14 Princeton Tigers, who open their season this weekend when they host the Princeton Open (Nov. 15-16, Ivy League Digital Network). The reigning Ivy League champions know that the challenge of retaining the title will be a daunting one, but they owe it to both themselves and those who came before to put everything they have into the chase.
We're still more than three months away from seeing everything this team can become, but Teeter has been pleased with the work so far, and she knows there is potential for something special.
Here is a look at the 2013-14 Princeton Tigers.
Co-captain Lisa Boyce enters her senior season as one of the greatest swimmers in Princeton history, though the coaching staff believes the best is still to come. The Princeton record-holder and the two-time reigning Ivy League champion in both the 50 (22.07) and 100 free (48.37), Boyce broke through a wall at the NCAA Championships last year by earning All-America honors in the 100.
She is the ultimate gamer at the Ivy Championships, winning seven of nine individual finals in her career, including all six over the last two years. As captain, she can serve as the ideal role model for a young, hungry roster that would like to see their own seasons extend beyond the Ivy League Championships.
And she has plenty of help this year. As freshmen, both Liz McDonald (22.86) and Morgan Karetnick (23.21) posted times that rank among the Top 5 in program history in the 50, and McDonald added a Top 5 time in the 100 (49.98). Classmate Mallory Remick was a B finalist in the 100 free, and all three should only get stronger this season.
The coaching staff could also see a strong freshman trio make an impact, possibly in both individual and relay events. Both Katie Diller and Kathleen Mulligan earned All-America honors in high school, while Delaney Johnson was a state champion in both the 50 and 100 free.
Those three will help replace the loss of graduated senior Carter Stephens, a member of the 200 free relay, but Princeton will be looking to see who can step up and fill the void left by classmate Jillian Altenburger, a Top 4 Ivy finisher in both the 200 and 500 last season.
One of Princeton's most reliable distance swimmers over the last three years has been senior co-captain Maureen McCotter, who has all-time Top 6 times for Princeton in both the 1000 (9:57.25) and the mile (16:38.98). McCotter's early showing in the 500 last season ignited Princeton's upset of Harvard at the 2013 Ivy championships, and Teeter has been impressed with her early work this season.
One potential replacement in the middle and distance events is junior Reese Iriondo, who missed the second half of last season due to illness and injuries. A fiery performer in the water, Iriondo has looked forward to getting back into competition with her teammates.
Freshmen Rebecca Fleming and Isabel Shipman will bring much-needed depth to the distance corps. Fleming is a three-time Senior Nationals qualifier, while Shipman was a two-time qualifier for the Open Water Nationals 5K. Despite McCotter's strong performance at Ivies, Princeton lost ground in the distance events, and the trio of Iriondo, Fleming and Shipman could help turn that around immediately.
The stands at DeNunzio Pool erupted during the 100 back final at the Ivy Championships last year, as Boyce won her third straight Ivy League final against a host of brilliant freshmen. Boyce, the Princeton record holder in the event (52.93), will look for her fourth straight championship this winter.
And her biggest obstacle could be sharing the Orange and Black. In her first season at Princeton, Sada Stewart posted the second-best Princeton times ever in both the 100 (53.53) and the 200 back (1:55.99). She placed second to Boyce in the 100 final, and she took second in the 200 final despite posting a meet-record time. Stewart, who also took third in the 200 IM, is one of the top young swimmers in the league, and her work ethic makes the staff optimistic about even greater performances.
Junior Shirley Wang took third in the 200 back at Ivies, and she reached the A final in the 100. Her 200 time of 1:57.49 is third-best in program history, and her 100 time of 55.18 is sixth-best. Classmate Courtney Ciardiello is also a threat in the 200 back, while freshman Mulligan is also a potential Ivy scorer in the event.
While Altenburger's loss in the mid-distance free is a sizable one, the same can be said for Sarah Furgatch in the breast events. The Fulbright Scholarship recipient capped her career with an emotional Top 3 finish in the 200 breast at Ivies, and the staff needs to find a replacement for both the individual events and the medley relays.
Sophomore Emily Yu was a B finalist in both the 100 and 200, and she is the only current Princeton swimmer with Top 10 times in both events.
A pair of freshmen, however, could play a major role in these events. Olivia Chan, an All-America at New Hyde Park, won seven New York state public high school championships and holds a 100 breast (LC) time that is under Olympic Trials standard. Melissa Fulenwider was a Senior Nationals qualifier as well, and both could help put more Orange and Black in the 'A' finals of both the 100 and 200 breast.
Sophomore Nicole Larson was a big part of the heralded freshman class last season, and her competitive fire was plenty apparent during the Ivy League championship weekend. She reached all three A finals, and placed second to now-graduated Alex Forrester in the 100 fly final with a Princeton-record time of 53.21.
Larson is also a big threat in the 200 fly, and she gives handles the fly leg in both medley relays. Larson came achingly close to reaching the NCAA Championships last year, and that will be part of her mission this season.
Two classmates who will also be factors in the fly events are Karetnick and Beverly Nguyen. Karetnick took third in the 100 and posted a Top 5 Princeton time (53.96), while Nguyen took fourth in the 200 and holds the fourth-fastest Princeton time of 1:59.35.
Both Chan and Diller could also factor into the fly events, as could Ciardiello.
During her time as the Princeton Female Athlete of the Decade, Alicia Aemisegger '10 rewrote the Tiger record book, including both IM records. But outside of Aemisegger's numbers (including a 400 time that remains 12 seconds faster than anybody in program history), two Tiger freshmen posted the fastest IM times for the Orange and Black last year.
Stewart placed third in the 200 IM final last year in 1:59.42, while Nguyen took third in the 400 final in 4:14.43. Nguyen also has the program's sixth-fastest 200 time (2:00.45), and she was a Top-4 finisher in that event as well.
Larson and senior Rebecca Lewinson could be factors during Ivy championship weekend, while freshmen Chan, Mulligan and Victoria Lepesant, a former Junior National qualifier, will add plenty of depth in this stroke.
Teeter knows that Ivy League Championships have swung on diving, and she trusts veteran coach Greg Gunn to have his group ready for the championship weekend. This particular season could be extremely interesting, as the Tigers have both veterans and a talented group of four freshmen who could give the team both quantity and quality.
The trio of seniors is led by Rachel Zambrowicz, a former Ivy League Championships Diver of the Meet, and Randi Brown, an A finalist last season. Classmate Emily Kaplan won the B final on the 3-meter board last year as well. As a freshman, Helen Zitkovsky reached the A final on the 1-meter board, while classmate Alice Eltvedt gained experience during the year.
The freshman quartet of Yasmeen Almog, Caitlin Chambers, Deborah Daly and Lisa Li each bring in impressive credentials, and their development this season could lead to interesting decisions by the time Ivies come around.

TUCSON – The University of Arizona Wildcat track and field program had a former athlete and a volunteer assistant coach compete in the finals of their respective events at the 2013 IAAF World Championships. Friday marked the seventh day of competition. The final day is August 18th.
Luis Rivera-Morales of Agua Prieta, Mexico earned a third-place finish in the men's long jump with a mark of 27-1.75 (8.27m). Rivera-Morales became the first athlete in Mexican history to win a medal in the field events at the World Championships. He entered the competition with the No.1 jump in the world on the season (27-9.25, 8.46m), but now he has the No. 2 mark. The gold medalist, Aleksandr Menkov (Russia), jumped 28-1 (8.56m) today. The second place mark was 27-2.5 (8.29m), set by Ignisious Gaisah (Netherlands). Rivera-Morales holds the indoor school record in the event and he was a Pac-10 Champion in the long and triple jump in 2009. At the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Championships, Rivera-Morales took sixth place in the long jump and earned first-team All-America accolades. He earned NCAA Indoor All-America honors in the long jump in 2010 with a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Championships.
In the final of the men's 5K, volunteer assistant coach Bernard Lagat earned a sixth-place finish with a time of 13:29.24.

Aged Goat GoudaLooking like caramel and tasting like the crunchy top of a creme brulee if goat cream were underneath. Tell your friends you've brought 'goat cheese' to the party and delight in their wild confusion. Read More
