Maryland environmental officials warn of black market turtle trade
ANNAPOLIS, Md. - The latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie will be in theaters this Friday and that has Maryland's Department of Natural Resources concerned.
"You get something that draws attention to that animal and there is a big spike in sales of that particular animal," said Cpl. Mike Lathroum of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police.
DNR officials think this new movie will influence young kids to want a turtle as a pet; specifically small red-eared sliders. DNR is warning the public of a black market for these animals.
"[These black markets are] popping up in different places," Lathroum said. "Street corners, venders, parking lots of amusement parks. Most recent we had complaints at Artscape.
Any turtle less than four inches long is illegal to sell in Maryland. They are not native to Maryland and along with those complications they can bring in diseases dangerous to humans and other turtles.
"That's the last thing we want to see is African or Asian viruses of turtles being released into Maryland where they can get into our terrapins, snapping turtles, our amazing diversity of our amphibians," said Jonathan McKnight with the Department of Natural Resources.
Environmental officials warn that if diseases don't affect local turtle wildlife, having these non-native species introduced into local ponds can have devastating effects on Maryland turtles.
The Department of Natural Resources is also stressing that if you want to get your child a turtle as a pet, the animal can live up to 50 years.

Progress-M34: It might be possible that before the departure for decay in the Earth's atmosphere the Russians will execute an autonomous flight with the old freighter to test the TORU system. Thus far no confirmation about this operation. Radio-amateurism: The fact that the Mir-crew is active again on the radio-amateur-frequencies confirms that the situation on board though not fully back to normal, improved to such a degree that they got more time to relax.
During almost every pass within our range the amateur station in the 145 mc band is active, mostly in Packet Radio, but also in Phone. Mike Foale (call KB5UAC) or the Russians (R0Mir) can be heard on Mir's downlink 145.800 mc. (uplink 145.200 mc). The crew transmitted a P/R message in which they said that they planned to increase P/R traffic. In another P/R message they reported that the Safex-2 transponder in the Priroda Module is operational again. Downlink is 437.950 mc, uplink 435.750 mc. To open the transponder a CTCSS tone of 141.3 hertz is needed. During docking operations with Soyuz-TM- and Progress-M ships and Shuttles Safex-2 will be OFF to avoid interference on crucial systems.

Deputies on Wednesday morning responded to reports of a shooting in the area near Washougal River Road in Skamania County.
Deputies responded to 391 Harder Road in Washougal around 10:45 a.m. after someone reported finding a bullet in a bedroom, said Undersheriff Dave Cox of the Skamania County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies found a bullet hole through the bedroom wall. It appeared to ricochet off the ground outside, through an outside wall of the home and hit the opposite indoor bedroom wall near the ceiling, Cox said in a release.
There were no reported injuries.
"At this time, we have no reason to believe that this was intentional in nature in any way," Cox said. "We will be continuing with the investigation to determine a possible explanation as to why the bullet found its way to this residence."
Anyone with information is asked to call the Skamania County Sheriff's Office at 509-427-9490.

Re: osain12/08Osanyin's eleke is made up of all different colours in no particular order. There are other elements that are sewn into his eleke depending on what he asks for, but this is for when you receive Osanyin. The basic eleke of Osanyin is just a mixture of all colours, one bead at a time.
Re: osain04/18Colors and Collars (Ilekes): White, red and yellow. The collar is made up of one white bead followed by nine red beads and eight yellow beads. The pattern is repeated until the desired length is obtained.
Re: osain04/20If you are doing anything in this religion based on the source you listed, I would think again and go and find an elder with a working knowledge of the religion. I have read a lot of bad information out there but I have to say, this one is one of the worst books I have seen in a while.
As the previous poster stated, osain's eleke is a mixture of all colours.

Santos minores.....
Yes.....that is true......The Los Gurreros in the tradition that is a part of my toolbox and magical amor, and armour....is undertaken within the realm of the Babalawo more often than not.
" go and find an elder with a working knowledge of the religion"
Totally right on target........make sure to heed that .....otherwise it will look nice, but won't have the formula of
W.A.R.F.I. {wash it. annoint it, read it, Feed IT, Invoke it} to seal , bless, and lift it.......then put it around your neck in such a manner that the orisha will recognize .thereby engaging in a culture of Awo and Ashe O !!!
Whom ever that elder and or Teacher is........one has to be the willing , and educable submissive, good student, eager and willing to do it to it the right way, at the right time, in the right operational environment.
Osain has ALOT to do with medicine , hence the Hyprocatic Oath comes to mind , from the realm of the Ancestors, who set the standard, and through the Egbe Olorun( comrads in heaven so to speak) enable a consistant, powerful specific, meaningful, accurate, realistic, trackable ( the S.M.A.R.T.) formula to endow and charge the object( in this case beads) the trusted, tried, and proven modus operendi.
Its not as easy as going out to a "shoppe" and buying em from a retailer, which has'nt any EWE to consecrate it.
Those recipies are only given out accordingly, and in terms of DIVINATION.
A diviner will be able to tell you what you may NEED.......cause then it may ammount to alot of work, and the spell may flop, cause you surely did nt ground it. Ground it meaning.....its connection to Mother Nature and the Great Sky father based upon the way, that is, the way it is. as it is. What is that ??? That means there are recipie's for the Eleke s that only can be gotten through and also within the gnosis of a Priest or Priestess whom are in sync and symbiosis for the matrix of energy to have the faith object BORN or MADE.
For that matter.......The ritual of obtaining the eleke of Osainyin is usually enlisted to protect the HEAD(ori) of the Aleyo. Even an Ab orisa doesnt have the sactification, or Ashe to do this alone....thats another reason why this is a part of the mandates of IFA(ika fun) whereas it is written in ese ifa that one does not do , what one doesnt know ,how to do, or why to do, as it its specific, its mechanic s and a clear truthful intention......cause if all of the aforementioned factioids are not adhered unto , you windup with a nice looking set of beads that dont have a link, doesnt have the right energy, and isnt able to do for you what history, and medicine dictates IT to enpower and simply BE.
So in these things it IS not a Case of....metaphysics , a parallel would be a Chef in the kitchen directing the Apprentice!!!!
This is an oral mystery religion.
There is no such thing as the "Original Manuscript Evidence" such as all the infighting and doubtful disputations of BIBLE scholarship and the many version s of the Bible's. Tarot Cards, and other paths of illumination.
Look at it this way, find a source candle, to light your path, in order to know where your going with IT, you need a compass, a map, and ifa says ....."everything needs it least two legs"! There for that will allow you to be able, without backlash or mishap.
Putting on the collars, identify s you as a devotee of orisha consciousness ( ori !)....and it can be embarassing when one is told by someone who may just ask you ,where you got em from or whats it all about.!!!!! YOu need to experience this, not just read about it in theory....it needs must be put into practice. Osain is a part of the los gurreros.......and if the beads are not "cooked" right it will have the equivilant of a Rabbits foot so to speak wihout merit, without ashe, and without the necessary cargo to energize it.
Think of it like a radio signal......it has to be connected unto the energy necessary to make it work properly....otherwise it an exersise in futility. Without the ceremony and the Ashe, its just a nice looking set of beads. Even gifted people like seers and shamans in other relligions will be able to spot a fraud or a empty vessel n instrument!!! What pray tell can you say on the public transit or in a line up at a mall whereupon an ordained minister or priestess bumps into you and notices those beads and asks you .........
: " whats up Doc?????"
Especially strange they may find if they have nt even been lifted as unto Olodumare.Olofin/ and Olorun/Eleda!
Especially when one wouldnt hypothetically be able to say the lineage , or know the ese ifa , the oriki, the odu ifa , the corresponding herbs and the Energy to facilitate it in a recognizable way.
There are many ways to be able to get a osain object, it diffterent for Palo, than YTR, which is different that Santeria ,which is sorta kinda different than lukumi....................BUT......they will all usually more often than not agree that its not something one does alone, without merit or authentication.
Im sorry for preaching a big lecture here, but I have like you ages ago, tried to "wing it" myself, and it was a disaster!!!!!
Escoffer once said in his French Cusine manual's " Everything in its proper place, and everything placed properly!" regarding Fonds De Cusine{ the foundations of the cooks compendium of repertoire de la cusine.....the BASIC's !!!)
I have learned this the hard way!
I hope you wont be offended by my essay of explaining what Lady Ode Lenu was stating as a mater of fact.
Cause of one tries to cross wire's in Santeria , lukumi ifa and or YTR...going from house to house, from book to book, and reading info o the internet beyond your level of initation and EXPERIENCE, it will lead to conflicts of interests, some confusion and failure.
I hope you will find a teacher to take u under they're wings to engage you in your flight training.
Happy Trails!!!
Blessed Be!!!!
No pandrino or Mandrina or Baba Awo will leave you in the river of life without a means to swim or paddle your canoe safely, to ensure you reach your destination!!! ( i e Destiny)
Awright Hecate... I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED READING THE WHOLE COMMENT!... ( takes smoke break and re-enters room) thanks for your advice. I've learned now that there is so much more to it than putting colors together and attributing them to a certain Orisha. I'm still learning as I go along some of my learning has come from... wait... most of my learning has come from the internet.... reader beware... please excruze my innocence... mea culpa...lol
Love Ya
Thank You Much Sarah... I'm starting to think I was out of order for even doing that. I tried to offer my 2cents but I really have no say for I am inexperienced just an outside admirer of the path.
Re: osain05/09Although I'm posting late, I found it odd that the poster stated "Ok, I'm making elekes" but was unaware of the proper procedure or even what colors were required for the deity.
Make Note: True elekes can not be brought off a rack in a botanica, or strung by a novice or someone who has not made priesthood. They ultimately are just beads on a string. Neither can there be any proper ritual for those beads.
Those store bought beads are worn by the dozen (literally) by gang members here in NYC. I always say Alaafia-they look at me like I'm crazy so I repeat it again and maybe a third time, They have no idea what I'm talking about. Then I say "oh I thought you had Orisha. They continue to look at me like I'm crazy, then I say the elekes you have on, They have no idea what I'm talking about, then I say the beads. Then they say "nah, my aunt gave them to me for protection". Then I look at them like they're crazy, my face becomes somewhat distorted, I knit my eyebrows together and say "protection against what"? Before I let reply, I just say oh never mind, and under my breath loud enough for them to hear, "It want protect you from being hit by a bus. Its crazy here in NYC with those beads. You just gotta be there, I know it may not be nice but hopefully it gives them pause.
Any who,"There is whole ritual that surronds the making of elekes. Hector hit it right on the head: "W.A.R.F.I. {wash it. annoint it, read it, Feed IT, Invoke it} to seal , bless, and lift it.......then put it around your neck in such a manner that the orisha will recognize.
I would like to add that before all those things the orisha has to first accept the choosen beads. My godmother has had beads rejected a thousand times, the general color was right, but not exact, process of elimination. The color was right but too many distortions in the beads, color and continuity right but too many people have handled the bag the beads are packed in. She even had a bag rejected because there was a red bead inside an all white bag. So many variables before the process can even begin.
Then the washing and everything Hector stated. This can be a long and arduous process.
Anybody can string beads, but ultimately it is the work that is put into those beads that makes them elekes. Elekes are only strung for "deities" beads on a string are only necklaces.
Re: osain05/11You are welcome Crystal. Offering advice is something that pretty much all human beings want to do. It was kind of you to research and pull out a link. Sadly the link and information offered there was really a really bad source with little that related to a lucumi ritual. But you weren't to know that. I am glad there are a few people that can offer a more informed opinion. This is what debate is all about.
I should add that at the end of the day, this is the internet and everyone should check information with their elders.

STANFORD, Calif. - Hey SWG fans!
First a huge shout out to Stanford football! What an exciting end to the week. The team played a tough game and never let up with their strongest efforts coming in the last few minutes of the game. It even had me, the hockey enthusiast, jumping up and down in my seat! As soon as the game finished, we rushed the field with the rest of the student section to congratulate the team while dancing to our fight song and taking a ton of pictures. Definitely a memorable moment J
Earlier this week, SWG continued to worker harder than ever in the gym. Each week we are doing more and more gymnastics and starting to piece routines together. The talent of this team is endless. A few highlights from this week: Ming back on beam making it look easy, Lucy casting to handstand with ridiculous power, Dani looking solid and intimidating with her new beam routine and the entire teams' performance on floor. Kristen and Tabby's choreography is incredible! And the most exciting highlight of the week was winning our first team challenge! We were asked to pick a six-person line up on bars. Each girl had to do a set of 5 kip cast to handstands and each true handstand was counted. As a team we needed to reach 20. Well it is safe to say we surpassed that number with amazing confidence, earning Sunday practice off!
On Friday we welcomed two prospective athletes to Stanford, which is always fun. We met them for a delicious breakfast at Hobees after our morning weights. Following breakfast they had a meeting with Dean Julie, went on a tour of our beautiful campus and then met us at the gym. SWG ran through a modified game day showing skills, dance routines and big releases on bars. We can see improvements each week and I am so excited to see our team grow throughout preseason. Check back again for another update next week!

I want to make a an excel cell copy from another cell in the same document but different page at a click of a button. I want it to copy a name from another cell not a number
For the 'click of a button' part you'd need to use VBA. Simple exmaple:
Code for point (4) above: note that this copies from cell B1 to cell A1. You can replace those with any cell values, of course, but also with a name rather than a cell address. For example, if you have a named cell of "MyVal", you'd put "MyVal" in the place of "B1" or "A1".

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Junior forward Emily
Janiga of the Mercyhurst University women's
hockey team is one of 69 players that has been invited to
participate in the 2014 USA Hockey Women's National Festival which
is scheduled to take place from August 12 through August 16 in Lake
Placid, New York.
The Festival will be used to select the 22-player rosters for a pair of series against Canada held simultaneously from August 21 through August 24 in Calgary, Alberta, at Canada Olympic Park. The United States entries will feature an under-18 team and 22-and-under team.
A native of East Aurora, New York, Janiga has been quite productive in her first two seasons at Mercyhurst. She has recorded 41 points in each of her first two seasons and, after being named to the College Hockey America All-Rookie Team as a freshman, was named to the All-CHA First Team as a sophomore a year ago.
Janiga scored 19 goals and dished out 22 assists as a freshman, with eight of her 19 tallies coming on the power play. She also notched five game-winning goals in 2012-13 and finished fifth in the country in points per game by a freshman (1.11). Last season, Janiga scored 15 goals and added 26 assists, including a career-high six points (three goals, three assists) in a win over Lindenwood last December.
Prior to joining the Laker roster, Janiga led the Provincial Women's Hockey League in scoring, during the 2011-12 season, as a member of the Burlington Barracuda. That year, she scored 27 goals and added 21 assists for 48 points.
Janiga is majoring in sportsmedicine with an emphasis on occupational therapy.
The Festival is being held at the Lake Placid Olympic Center and all practices and scrimmages are free and open to the public. The rosters for the U.S. Women's Select Teams (U18 and 22U) will be revealed on August 17.
Note: Former Laker standout, Kelley Steadman, has also been invited to participate in the Festival. Steadman was a member of the Mercyhurst roster from 2008 to 2012. During her career, the Plattsburgh, New York native scored 78 goals and added 54 assists for 132 points in 140 games with the Lakers.

Capital punishment in the State of California was ruled unconstitutional on Wednesday, July 16. Thursday, a Fox News piece on the ruling showed this was no typical political decision to appease the most liberal state in the nation.
There are several compelling reasons (pictured with summaries) that this ruling by a George W. Bush-appointed judge should be lauded by more than just anti-capital punishment advocates among Californians or even just Catholics among Christians. In fact, it is narrow enough that even conservatives should approve of the ruling.
It does not indict the death penalty in principle, just California's management. An LA Times editorial Friday detailed the broken system that has resulted in just 13 executions since 1978—about 1.4 percent of prisoners sent to death row, requiring weekly executions for 14 years to clear.
Judge Cormac J. Carney stated in his ruling that not only did the exhaustive delays causing the felon to face their death multiple times constitute cruel and unusual punishment, but took any deterrent of executions away. (Statistics suggesting it is no deterrent at all fail to fully consider its effects as prosecutor leverage.) In fact, death row became more desirable than life without parole because of better accommodations since most prisoners would die of natural causes anyway.
Capital punishment is losing steam in states far more conservative than California. The lengthy appeals process and higher security for inmates with nothing to lose has always made death row more costly. Recent issues with lethal doses have halted executions around the nation.
Thus, it is unlikely California will see another execution. In a state with anti-capital punishment Attorney General Kamala Harris and a Democrat-controlled executive and legislative branch with 48 percent of the state saying they are willing to scrap the death penalty for life without parole (arguably worse punishment anyway), there is not likely to be the political or financial capital to fix a broken system so executions can start again.
Yet the larger issue for Christians should be capital punishment in general. Right now, Catholics are the only major Christian faith denouncing state-sanctioned executions.
Yes, the Bible says "an eye for an eye" in Leviticus 24:20. That was also an old covenant rule governing the maximum punishment for nomadic Israel to keep victims from escalating conflicts, not meant as a minimum requirement. There are scores of scriptures about the sanctity of life that was even more a focus in the new covenant of Jesus Christ.
Above all else, true Christianity is a pro-life faith that believes in redemption. We are called to try to convert everyone and that includes giving murderers until God takes them to repent.
This ruling offers Christians a chance to reach these lost souls. It also gives Christianity an opportunity to reach many others that see the compassion of Christ instead of the judgment of religion. The best evangelism might be standing against injustice.
For one thing, the death penalty is not applied equally. Not only are disproportionate percentages of crimes by minorities designated for capital punishment, but disproportionate percentages of those crimes were perpetrated on white victims.
Finally, Christians valuing life should recoil at the risk an innocent person being executed. This happens less frequently with better DNA science (something the pro-life but anti-science fringes of Christianity might want to remember), but still is a reality because death sentences do not require higher burdens of proof and often DNA evidence is not available in murder trials.
It is time for Christians to take charge on the death penalty across the world. At the very least, nobody willing to plead guilty and save the state a trial should be on death row, capital punishment must be applied fairly and the burden of proof needs to be much higher than for non-capital offenses to ensure no innocent person is executed.

Quits as a percentage of separations
April 11, 2007
The percentage of total separations attributable to quits has risen and fallen over time along with employment levels.
Total nonfarm employment had peaked in February 2001 at 132.6 million, and then had fallen to a low of 129.8 million in August 2003. During the same time period, the proportion of quits fell from 61 percent in February 2001 to 51 percent in August 2003. Between early 2001 and mid-2003, total separations fell by 613,000 but quits fell by a greater amount, 759,000, causing the proportion of total separations attributable to quits to fall.
The proportion of quits has since risen to 60 percent in February 2007.
These data on quits and separations are from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. The above data are seasonally adjusted. Data for February 2007 are preliminary and subject to revision. Find additional information in "Job Openings and Labor Turnover: February 2007" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 07-0524.

i've got yoga for dummies... hah.
This is a discussion on Yoga? within the INFP Forum - The Idealists forums, part of the NF's Temperament Forum- The Dreamers category; i've got yoga for dummies... hah....
i've got yoga for dummies... hah.
I did yoga a few times, never enough to become hooked. I can't seem to focus when doing it.
I used to "do" a lot of Yoga and I loved it but I haven't done it recently though.

What are some of the benefits you guys have felt with yoga? I'm curious
I LOVE Yoga! It makes me feel so amazing, and it connects with my personal spiritual beliefs perfectly. I just need to do it consistantly, i keep taking breaks for too long :(
How about DVD recommendations? Anyone know any good ones? There are approximately 95,349 yoga DVDs out there and I don't know what's what.
I have not tried yoga more than a couple times, but I have done meditation quite often. I should do it more.
Simply speaking about what I know, however -- meditation, it is very good.
If you want to start out doing yoga at home, Yogatic's channel on Youtube has many great videos. That way, all you need is a mat and possibly some yoga blocks, and you'll be ready to go. My advice, however, would be to buy a good- quality mat that might be a little more expensive, as you won't slip as much, and the mat will last longer. I've got a Nike mat that I've had for almost three years, and it's still holding up quite nicely.

Secrets of Success
You can't win if you don't play...
Saturday, November 13, 2010
Here I am 43 years old, and fat once again! I lost 60 pounds in 2002 (well it took two years) doing WW, I hit goal and maintenance. I kept it off for two years and I never ever felt so great in my adult life. I swore I would never ever ever be fat again... and here I am and let's be truthful I have been fat again for years.
When I was 30 I worked evenings and was a stay at home Mom during the day. My husband and I were like two ships passing in the night as we did the switch off as he came in from work (I went out). This worked out very very well. During this time I was able to join a gym and ran regularly. And dropped 60 pounds (weight I put on from having two babies).
In my mid 30's I went back to work full time, as I could work during the day because my kids were in school. I love my work, and I am at the same job I was 8 years ago-- but within three years of this change in lifestyle I woke up and BAM I put all of my weight back on.
It came on so slow and gradually I think the people I work with think I started work this chubby. During the last 5 years that I put the weight back on-- I did lose and gain the same 25 pounds a couple of times...
I have to say my wake up call... when I didn't attend my 25th High School reunion (this year) that I helped plan and coordinate. I did have to unexpectedly go see family, that could not be avoided so I couldn't go-- but I have to tell you I was relieved! I am 43 years old and still worried about what others think- though it is more then that it is what I think too.
When the School Nurse at my school (where I work) suggested we do a Biggest Loser Challenge during the holidays, I thought- "what do I have to lose?" WEIGHT! A great group of people at worked joined- and we have teams and everything. It could prove to be successful.
SO here I am AGAIN... but I believe my goals are different from when I was younger. I truly just want to be healthy! I want to be rid of my UARS that causes me to sleep with a sleep machine and want to be heart healthy so I can live long and see my kids grow into their adulthood (one is already doing that) and enjoy my "golden years" with my husand!
So I will play and up my chances of winning!

Headbands are really useful when you don't have an hour to get your hair all done up, but the problem we have with them is that they make us look a little prissy, like there's always a hint of Blair Waldorf staring back at us. (We realize it could be worse - it could be Vanessa from Brooklyn.) To help ward off the prep, look for headbands in fabrics other than florals and lace, like this L. Erickson Crystal Palisades Leather Headwrap ($68). Yeah, it has a bunch of crystals on it, but the buckles and the textured leather should help balance it all out.

LAREDO, TX (KGNS) - Every child involved in sports dreams of being the best and leaving a legacy. One Laredoan is doing just that, and he hasn't even graduated yet.
Alex Cruz, United High School track athlete, puts his name and time on the track and field board located in the school's workout room. Cruz recently set the school's new record of running one mile in 4:25.
Dr. Daniel Bell, former alum, had held the school's record for over 34 years, running one mile in 4:28 in 1980. Dr. Bell was on hand to see Cruz post the new record on the board. He congratulated Cruz on his accomplishment and reminded Cruz and his fellow athletes that through hard work and dedication anyone can accomplish their goals.

Business In Thailand – Part 1: The Challenge
Recently someone asked about business in Thailand. Here is my first post on this challenging topic: First of all, as background information, I learned the Thai alphabet (script with 44 consonants and 32 vowels) nearly 20 years ago, so I have have a pretty decent foundation for the Thai language compared to most foreigners visting or working in […]Read more
As They Say: When in Rome, Do as the Romans.
Recently I had a nice conversation with the head of Asia-Pacific of an international company about how to succeed in Thailand. I explained how businesses in Thailand do not respond well to companies that come to Thailand with no experience, track record or support infrastructure here in the Kingdom. I also explained how Thailand has […]Read more

Dendritic cell (DC) development is efficiently supported by Flt3-ligand or GM-CSF in vitro, and lymphoid-organ DC maintenance in vivo is critically dependent on Flt3-ligand. However, the relevance of GM-CSF for lymphoid-tissue DC maintenance and the importance of both cytokines for nonlymphoid organ DC homeostasis are not defined. Here, we show that, although Gm-csfr and Flt3 are both expressed in DC progenitors, Gm-csfr is expressed predominantly in monocytes, classical DCs (cDCs), and skin DCs, whereas Flt3 is expressed in both cDCs and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs). In accordance with the respective cytokine receptor expression, DC progenitor and pDC numbers are primarily affected by Flt3-ligand deficiency, whereas both splenic and lymph node cDCs and dermal DCs are reduced in the absence of either GM-CSF or Flt3-ligand. Combined lack of GM-CSF and Flt3-ligand in newly generated double-deficient mice leads to further significant reductions of DC progenitors and dermal DCs. In line with the decrease of respective DC subsets, T-cell and antigen-specific IgG responses decline progressively, from wild-type to GM-CSF- to Flt3-ligand- to double-deficient mice, upon subcutaneous antigen delivery. These data thus show the concerted action of GM-CSF and Flt3-ligand on DC homeostasis in vivo.

Questions on Super User are expected to relate to computer software or computer hardware within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Many companies have mission critical intranet applications and other systems that rely on a browser or on the integrated browser in other programs. Companies want to keep costs for new software, maintenance and user support low. So there are several points that favored IE:
The idea that corporations are resistant to change is conjecture, but I think a good one. From IE3-5 they actually innovated (surprising to many, myself included).
1) Internet Explorer 3 was the first browser to implement CSS (surprising, huh?) Also the Java applet and ActiveX.
2) IE4 was the first browser with an embeddable rendering engine and Dynamic HTML and was cross platform, holding something like 60% of the market.
3) IE5 was the first implementation of AJAX (MS invented it, or at least the foundation for it) [Though the term wasn't coined until later].
Since then, they really haven't innovated and IE 6/7/8 were all terrible. IE 9/10 have gotten closer... but still, probably the resistance to change. Legacy support is huge in many businesses.
One of the key reasons is that Microsoft allows enterprises to install patches themselves, giving the company time to ensure that the patch does not break all of their internal websites.
Additionally, unlike Firefox and Google Chrome, Microsoft clearly notes which patches are security patches versus functionality patches (which always come with a major version change from Microsoft). This means that enterprises that use Internet Explorer won't ever get into a situation where all of their Intranet stopped working over the weekend because of a patch pushed out to Google Chrome or Firefox without the IT network admin having checked and authorised the patch.
And finally, one of the key reasons why Microsoft is liked by Enterprise is that if you pay for support, Microsoft has an obligation to help you when stuff goes wrong. With Firefox and Google Chrome, you're on your own. To a big company that reads as: "With Microsoft, the risk of something going wrong is a quantifiable risk, with Google Chrome and Firefox there is an unlimited risk".
That's why enterprises (particularly large enterprises) by and large prefer IE.
Yes, because Internet Explorer is the default browser in Windows, a lot of older websites and software are written specifically for it, so businesses and other large institutions often standardize on it. This question doesn't fit SuperUser too well, though.

A new form of alien, a human feudal society and an army of mech rebels clash in the fourth story of the Mech series.
Ignis Glace is a war-torn world of fire and ice. Tidally-locked to its tiny red sun, one side of the planet bakes while the other side is forever frozen. Known as Sunside and Nightside, these two wastelands are bordered by a narrow inhabitable region known as Twilight. Humans and mechs battle for control of their world, even while a third player approaches the game: the Skaintz Imperium. Once the aliens strike, no world is ever the same.

You have listened to how many Audiobooks!!!!!
"One Big Victory, One Small Planet?"
Teamwork always Wins
The Sacrafice of the two that are one
Great depth of character interpretations and a voice that can hold a listener to a story like the great James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman.
What makes us Human
I want to see a MECH 4!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Man! Epic book 3."
I feel like this book could almost stand on its own. I really liked this story, quite a few things from the previous books get tied together. The aliens are even nastier if that's possible.
"Nice end to a good saga"
Mech 3 is the end of this saga. It has some realy good parts to it. It also has a cool end!
A great book that'll keep you listening wherever you go.
the story is fast pace and action filled and the narrator does the content justice.
B.V Larsons sci fi is my absolute favourite listening material and I simply love his take on the monsters.
"Seems like back fill for such a long book. "
The ending really wss not thought out. no one asks were the laser comes from on the planet.
"Not as good as it could have been"
The story line could have been alot better it got kind of boring and perdictable
"A conclusion to the series?"
I for one hope not as I have enjoyed yet another compelling series of books by B.V.Larson. I await with baited breath the release of his next book no matter if it is a continuation of this or one of the other set of stories, or sets out to introduce a new collection of characters. I have an insatiable appetite for the style of writing and the genre of SCI FI. In the mean time I must now look elsewhere as I have exhausted the current bibliography of B.V.Larson's audio collection.

TC TO JEAN CARLYLE AITKEN; 12 November 1851; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18511112-TC-JCA-01; CL 26: 225-226
Chelsea, 12 Novr, 1851—
My dear Jean,
I yesterday sent you off a little Book, Highland Notebook the title of it, where you will find various little pieces fit enough for a quarter of an hour's reading. The Author was once a printer with M'Diarmid, I believe; then went off to edit some kind of Newspaper in Huntingdon (O. Cromwell's old place), and is now a prosperous Newspaper Proprietor as well as Editor in Inverness these many years.1 I do not think his worth very great, or beyond what he will be able to eat the real wages of before he quit this world: but in fine he may do for the occasion, and we will be thankful accordingly.— In regard to your reading, I think it is a pity, since you have time and energy, that you did not get some weightier kind of Books, out of which real knowledge might come to you; for example, Book of History, of which there are several at Scotsbrig or attainable enough elsewhere; which you could read carefully, having a map at hand, and attending to the chronology,—that is, keeping both places and dates steadily before you:—for example, have you ever read any good History of England (Hume's, Henry's);2 Robertson's Scotland; Robertson's America (a most entertaining book), his Charles V &c &c?3 There is a good stock of such Books; and that is the way to read with advantage. I recommend also Homer's Iliad, and Translations of all the old Greek and Roman Books called Classics; of which Jack, I believe, has some store; at any rate plenty of them are to be had now comparatively speaking, and very cheap. It wd be worth your while to have some solid good Book always at your hand too (like James)4 when you have a little leisure. Take some thot of this; and, after consulting Jack, and still more your own real notion, ask me to help in any way I can.— — I am glad to hear James takes to Geometry: that is a noble department of human acquisitions; and if he were once fairly started in that, he may prosecute it on his own strength to any extent he likes. Let him state all his difficulties to the Doctor, who was an excellent pupil of mine in old days, and understands the subject perfectly (or did "above thirty years ago"!) and may assist in getting him lifted fairly into it. Once in it, he will walk forward on his own legs, as far as needful.
We are very quiet here; with weather a little better than yours, tho' too often it is very dark and a little uncleanly, owing both to our smoke and our natural sky. On the whole I consider myself a little better for my steepings, and roamings on the mountains, last autumn: far enough from what men call well, but actually a little clearer, and more within conception of being well. I read pretty diligently, but cannot flatter myself with being yet near any regular promising Enterprise of the Writing sort; that, I am afraid, will need a sad struggle first! Meanwhile I am thankful to be silent, to be allowed to go about mingling so little in the loud braying nonsense that is everywhere so prevalent around one, and which makes one's very heart sad and sore. No refuge there for one; refuge only out of all that, if anywhere!— I have had some extensive rides lately, on a horse of A. Sterling's for which there is not otherwise employment: the country is still beautiful when the sun breaks out on it; and in Richmond Park or other such places one can get big spells of solitary cantering, on the finest turf, with nothing but deer and trees round one, which is to be thankfully accepted by the sick soul.— Jane is pretty well; walks daily with Nero. We keep out of the way of "Kossuth" and all noise and stump-oratory. I think of writing a Note to my Mother this very day, one being due again.— Good b'ye, dear Sister. Be a good bairn; be all good bairns! Yours ever
T. Carlyle

This gallery contains images of unsafe sex practices, also known as barebacking. Engaging in sexual practices without the use of a condom is a risky and unnecessary behavior. There are a lot of studios including the one listed on this page that film bareback or have bareback scenes in their content libraries. The images presented below should only be used for fantasy and you should not deceive yourself into thinking that "everyone is doing it." Further, you should not assume that just because you see photos or film content of barebacking that sexually transmitted diseases have been miraculously cured. HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases are very real and potentially lethal. Please practice safe sex in your own life and educate yourself regarding the dangers of not wearing a condom before having sexual encounters. Visit AMFAR for more information about safer sex.

rdbndallas & hothead i have to agree. Hagan suffers from limp dick syndrome also,his best video was his solo. its like he's thinking how much longer do i have to fuck before i get my pay $$. I think he's a favourite of Brins @ Chaos, other Studios would have given him the boot long ago. Hot looking guy but this is definately not his nitch. since Hagen is so lazy he should bottom, then he would move his mouth. lol
hotheadJune 02, 2010 - 10:37:03 | See all My Comments
Hagan seems to suffer from the Gabe syndrome--Gabe on CF was so hot looking, but always looked bored in every shoot. Brodie is the same way, and now we have Hagan. Hot body, great dick, no energy, no connection, boring.

They make look good in the photos, but the video is BORING. It's as if before every shoot someone says to Hagan "If you look bored and put no energy in to it, you'll be more convincing as a straight guy". He may look hot, but have you ever seen a scene where he is connected to his partner?

Man, these two are so hot!

A diet for liver cirrhosis is specifically designed keeping in mind the diminished capacity of the liver. It provides just the right amount of nutrients and calories required to heal the liver and resume its healthy functioning. It also prevents the liver from degenerating further.
You can discuss the healthy foods for patients with liver cirrhosis with a dietician or your physician. Be careful though, because your liver produces the enzymes that are required to digest fats. Therefore, you need to keep a check on the kind of fats you consume and the quantity in which you consume them. You will need to include more carbohydrates and starchy foods such as potatoes, peas, corn, cereals, and breads in your diet. Moreover, your liver disease may also disturb your blood sugar levels, and therefore, it is best to avoid fruit juices and sweets. Instead, consume fruits that contain several minerals and vitamins along with roughage. If you want to consume juices for a healthy liver, freshly squeezed carrot juice, which can help detoxify your liver, is a good choice.
While maintaining a low protein diet, you should also try to increase the amount of carbohydrates in your meals. Avoid consuming fats and use healthier fats such as olive oil and rapeseed oil. Use low fat alternatives for mayonnaise and other such high calorie fatty foods. Drinking wine with your meals and smoking are not recommended. Avoid consuming canned fruits with heavy syrup as that could increase blood sugar. Maintain consumption of about 1,800 to 2,000 calories a day.

The Springfield XD Sub Compact comes in 9mm and .40 as far as the two calibers I'm looking at.
One thing I am curious about is recoil since the two 40 S&W and 9mm guns weigh the same and have same dimensions.
Lets say I get the .40 with a Federal round JHP 180gr. - muzzle energy is 400 and muzzle velocity is 1000.
Lets say I get the 9mm with a Federal round Hyd-Shok 147gr. - muzzle energy 326 and muzzle velocity is 1000.
For my comfort level I feel any of these two rounds will serve it's purpose well if well placed. And there is my point.
If these two handguns weigh the same empty, what kind of recoil difference could I expect between the two? I haven't figured out a way to be able to test shoot both at the same time. (not literally the same time.)
My quandary if I take the 40 S&W (which i think could be the preferable round) and shoot rapidly 5 to 10 rounds at an 8 x 10 target 15 yards out how will my pattern look. But more importantly if I do the same thing with the 9mm, load the above rounds and shoot 5 to 10 rounds at same target how will it look.Tighter?
How big of a factor will the calibers weigh into this. Because I am looking for the biggest caliber I can handle in a fairly tight pattern firing in rapid succession.
I know factors com into play on wrist control, steady arms, etc....
But is there any data out there showing recoil and how it affects shot placement?
I really really want that XD sub Compact in a .40 but it's a light gun and I have to hold shot placement. I've heard the 40 S&W has a snappy recoil.
Would the 40 be just a little more of a kick, alot, or a wash to the 9mm.
I know I'm probably beating a dead horse but I am ready to pull the trigger on the XD Sub Compact 40S&W.............or 9x19mm. DesisionsDecisionsDecisions
