Athlete's Foot (cont.)
Diagnosis of Athlete's Foot
The accurate diagnosis of athlete's foot can usually be made simply by looking at the rash. The diagnosis can also be confirmed by looking at scrapings of the infected area of the foot under a microscope. The doctor will see microscopic fungal elements on the slide.
If the doctor suspects a secondary bacterial infection, he will prescribe the proper antibiotic.

The 121-140,000 kgf RD-111 was developed for combat missiles. It had special flexible pipelines and gimbals (simpler than bellows). You'd expect pre-launch pressurisation to be simple and quick with a military missile but the LOX on the R-9 missile took two hours to load. It was just too complicated for military use and would have been knocked out by bombers let alone missiles before it could be used. The final version took just 20 minutes to prepare and veterans claimed just 10 minutes in their tests. It was used in both silo and pad based missiles. Diameter is per chamber.

A fifth witness in the Anaheim, CA, area reports watching a helicopter apparently chasing a white light, according to March 3, 2014, testimony in Case 54430 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
UPDATE: Southern California MUFON Chief Investigator Cindi Costello has investigated the multiple reports of military helicopters in the Anaheim area. There is a complete update here: MUFON: Multiple 'helicopters chasing UFO' reports are military related.
This becomes the fifth case describing a helicopter chasing a light or sphere-shaped object in a 16-day period. Case 54101 occurred on February 15, 2014, in Orange County, CA; Case 54167 occurred on February 19, 2014, in Anaheim, CA. Case 54168 occurred on February 19, 2014, in Anaheim Hills, CA; and Case 54345 occurred on February 27, 2014; in Anaheim Hills. The last round-up story was Fourth report: California witness videotapes military helicopter chasing UFO.
This latest case was reported to have occurred on February 11, 2014. The witness left his home and was driving along Santa Ana Canyon Road about 6:24 p.m. when the helicopter was first seen.
"I noticed a single light traveling east being followed by a helicopter," the witness stated. "The helicopter and its structure were clearly visible against a backdrop of high clouds, and the helicopter displayed two sets of lights, one in the rear and one in the front with some solid lights and some flashing."
The helicopter appeared to stay close to the light.
"The helicopter was following the light ahead at a fairly close distance, maybe as little as 100 feet. The helicopter was changing position in relationship to the object as if trying to view it from different angles."
The witness described the light.
"The light did not have any associated structure, only just the light. I would have been able to see any unlit structure since I could clearly see the entire helicopter against the backdrop of the cloud cover reflecting the city lights. They were flying at a high speed, moving from my position east through the canyon and into the Corona area in the time it took me to drive a few blocks at 45 to 50 mph. They flew out of sight to the east."
All five cases are currently under investigation by Southern California MUFON. Anaheim is a city in Orange County, CA, population 336,265. Anaheim Hills is an affluent community along the eastern portions of Anaheim.
California has a UFO Alert Rating of 3 with a high number of recent reports nationally. California had 59 reports during January 2014 - the highest reporting state in the nation.
You can read more details about other recently reported cases at the UFO Examiner home page.
The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or man-made. If California MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

College Hockey:Gophers Capitalize On Spartan Miscues
Vanek Gets Three Points In Minnesota Win
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Too many penalties and Minnesota sophomore forward Thomas Vanek's three-point performance cost Michigan State a needed win against the Gophers Friday night at Munn Arena, as the Gophers won 5-1.
The Spartans were whistled for 13 penalties, including a major for checking from behind in the second period, that totaled up to 37 minutes. The Gophers rang up 11 infractions and 22 minutes.
Those numbers go a long way to explaining the huge differential in shots — Spartan goaltender Dominic Vicari faced 52 shots and made 47 saves, while at the other end of the ice, Gopher goalie Kellen Briggs saw 24 and stopped 23.
Almost the entire second period was spent in the Spartan zone.
And with so much puck possession, how could the Gophers lose, even with Spartan goaltender Dominic Vicari in net?
Answer: they didn't.
Minnesota made the Spartans pay for being penalized the first time of the night when senior Grant Potulny found the back of the net for the first of three Gopher power play tallies of the night a little over 13 minutes into the first period.
The second period saw two more Gopher power play goals, off the sticks of sophomore forward Tyler Hirsch and senior forward Matt Koalska. Sandwiched in between the two power play tallies was an even strength goal by Spartan junior forward Mike Lalonde, who has five points in two games (4-1-5).
Vanek added to Minnesota's lead in the third after assisting on two goals earlier in the game, and Troy Riddle rounded out the scoring for the Gophers.
"Obviously the power-play worked well, but I just thought we played with a lot of energy tonight," Minnesota Head Coach Don Lucia said. "I think we had twenty shots on the power play and Vicari played outstanding."
"I thought it was really important that we got that fourth goal. Then you put the game away, you don't let the game get to 3-2."
"Obviously there were things that happened in the game that gave you no chance, but at the same time they're a better team. Our youth at some positions showed, I thought, tonight, inexperience at positions showed at times tonight, but they put such pressure on you if you're going to put them on the power play," Spartan Head Coach Rick Comley said.
Of course, it wouldn't be a game between two national powerhouses without a little controversy. Halfway through the penalty-laden second period, Spartan junior defenseman Corey Potter was whistled for a five-minute major penalty and a game misconduct for checking from behind.
Unlike a minor penalty, when a team scores on the power play during a major penalty, the shorthanded team doesn't get their player back — they stay shorthanded. An obvious problem against a team like Minnesota, who went 3-7 on the power play in the contest, including one goal during the major assessed to Potter.
After the Gophers scored the goal during the major penalty to the Spartans, Spartan junior forward Adam Nightingale was pursuing a puck that Gopher goaltender decided to skate out of his crease and play, and there was slight contact between the two as Nightingale tried to skate between the boards and Briggs — except there wasn't any space between the two. Referee Mark Wilkins whistled Nightingale for roughing and told him to have a seat for two minutes.
Comley was livid about both calls. And it wore on his depleted defense — with Potter hitting the showers early for his game misconduct, Comley was left with only five defensemen for the remainder of the game — almost 30 minutes.
"We lose Potter, so we're down to five. Then we had to play those defensemen so much, they wore out — they got really, really tired under a lot of pressure."
But disputed calls didn't take away from the excellent play from the Golden Gophers, Comley admitted. "They move the puck so darn well, and they get so many good chances, and they're record is only indicative of the fact that they've been beat up. They're a better team than we are right now."
"We beat a good team tonight, and that makes us feel good, especially on the road," Lucia said. "It's a nice way to start the weekend."
Minnesota will face off against the Michigan Wolverines tomorrow night at Yost Ice Arena at 7:35 p.m., while the Wisconsin Badgers will travel to Munn to face the Spartans starting at 7:05 p.m.

England: Olympic badminton player Gail Emms has admitted that having a baby saved her from depression - and probably saved her life.
Gail, who lives in Milton Keynes, is backing calls to help sports stars after they retire, and revealed she spiraled into depression after retiring from playing badminton in 2008.
It has been a decade since Gail Emms lifted the YONEX All England Badminton Championship doubles crown and 11 years since she claimed a silver medal at the Athens Olympic Games. But having witnessed the form and progression of pairing Chris and Gabby Adcock – they claimed Commonwealth Games gold last year in Glasgow – Emms is convinced the golden years are set to return to English badminton.
London: Olympic silver medallist Gail Emms is relishing the chance to return to the court for this weekend's English National Badminton Championships although she admits it will be a case of mind over matter as she bids for mixed doubles success.
Emms claimed mixed doubles silver at Athens 2004 alongside partner Nathan Robertson before announcing her retirement four years later after the Games in Beijing.
By scott.kirk
Milton Keynes-based Gail Emms MBE, the Olympic silver medallist, will celebrate her 10-year anniversary of topping the world rankings by taking on the best players in the country later this month.
London: Olympic silver medallist Gail Emms insists the new National Badminton League (NBL) is the spark the sport needed to help Great Britain challenge for medals on the global stage.
Gail Emms got her badminton 'comeback' off to a winning start at the English National Badminton Championships in Milton Keynes today.
The 36-year-old 2004 Olympic silver medallist and former world, European and Commonwealth champion teamed up with last year's mixed doubles runner-up Marcus Ellis to defeat Ben Stawski and Alex Langley in their second-round contest after an opening bye.
But their performance was not without a minor hiccup at the start. Ellis and Emms let slip the opening game as she looked a little rusty before settling down and turning things round 13-21 21-10 21-6.
Emms, who won this mixed doubles title six times with three different partners before retiring after the 2008 Olympics, will now face 2012 champions and the world's fifth-ranked pair in Chris and Gabby Adcock when the tournament moves to the arena:stadiumMK tomorrow for the quarter and semi-final stages.
CHAUNCY pupil Matthew Widdicombe is one of six Hertfordshire players including ex-Olympian Gail Emms who will be competing in the Senior Nationals Badminton Championship.
The event starts on Friday February 7 and takes place at two different venues in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.
It will be at the National Badminton Centre on Friday and the Stadium MK on Saturday and Sunday.
It is the first time Widdicombe is competing at the senior nationals.
Olympic silver-medallist Gail Emms will compete in the National Badminton Championships in Milton Keynes next month.
Emms will partner three-times champion Ella Tripp in the women's doubles draw, as well as current England international and 2013 finalist Marcus Ellis in the mixed doubles event.
World number five pair, Chris and Gabby Adcock, lead the nation's big names who will be heading for the arena: stadiummk next month for the first English National Championships to be held at stadium:mk on February 8 and 9.

I am here for the party!
Tuesday, March 20, 2012
Sometimes I remember that girl that I used be. Who would sit and feel ugly, fat, teased, feeling in the way. I remember hearing some insentive teen laughing at me in my bathing suit, or a coworker with a nasty comment. People seem to think if you are fat you are either deaf or immune to the cruelty of others. Not true.
I think the thing that hurt the most were the things I said to myself. Me when I would look at a picture of myself and quickly crop or delete so that I did not have to see. How I cringed when a picture appeared that I did not know about.
I decided to change and move, and even that was hard. People were sometimes mean or dismissive to me when i was working out with A60 lbs to lose in the early part of my journey. I was embarrassed to run in frontof people at first, so picked dangerous deserted trails and low populated areas.
When I first began to branch out on more popular trails, some people were great, some were jerks. I was running, some Barbie doll thought her workout was more important than mine and rudely snagged the parking spot i was waiting for and rolled her eyes at me. It also happened when people lapped me. It happened when I bought sneakers.and it happened when I lined up for races. You know what, I still practice and wait for parking spots, I still get lapped (all be it by faster people), I still get it when I buy sneakers or go o a runners shop (though not as often) and I dont give a hoot who thinks what when I line up for a race.
I am here now, not for some Barbie with a six pack. Kudos to her! seriously, i really admire her. No i am not here for the dude at the running store, though he has come around. I am here for the party!
I am here for the getting healthy party. The I have energy party ! The I reach another milestone party. Thei fell and picked myself up party. I am here for that look in the eye I get from hubby party! The I feel sexier party. The I am a woman and I love my powerful muscles and girlie curves party!
Come on, here is your invite, come join me!
So I still have 18 drive me crazy sometimes pounds to go...I am still here for the party!!!!

Great blog!! I'm here for the party as well. No more wasting time worrying about what others think; I'm running (slowly compared to many) and working out and having the time of my life. The wonderful thing is we don't have to wait until we have lost all the weight we think we need to in order to start enjoying the party; WOO HOO, party on!

text: There's no doubt that the little Bichon Frise looks like a royal dog. They were a favorite of the 16th century French Court, and were often traded by Spanish sailors. They were also frequently used in the circus as a show dog as well. Today Bichon's are family and show dogs. They are extremely well liked, cheerful, lovable dogs and function best in a family that takes them everywhere and gives them plenty of attention. They're intelligent, lively and bold little dogs that only want to be close to the people they love. They get along well with everyone and are very easy to train (although housebreaking can be another story!). Bichon's also do great with children. They're obedient, have an excellent temper, and love romping about the yard. While they don't require a lot of exercise, they do love walks and being outdoors. They're also hypo-allergenic, which is great for all you allergy sufferers out there! Bichon's are prone to eye problems such as leakage and mucus, so care must be taken to keep their face trimmed and clean. They do need daily grooming to prevent knots, and with that pearly white coat you know you'll be bathing them a lot too! Perhaps one of the most charming traits of this little dog is its tendency to go on an energy blitz where they run in frantic circles just because they're happy and excited. What's not to like about that? If you would like more information about this great little breed, you can visit American Kennel Club at www.akc.org. If you would like information on adopting a Bichon Frise in dire need of a loving family, you can visit www.bichonrescue.org or PetFinder.com.

Stock Upgrades: Pan American Silver Takes Winning Page From Silver Linings Playbook
Justin Sharon
Wall Street ratings agencies set the tone for today's stock market.
The man who
accurately predicted the death of equities
in 1987 sadly left us last week even as
, centered eight years earlier
when the demise of equities
proved to be extraordinarily premature, won best picture.
The death of personal computers, the subject of a
much more recent cover story
, is certainly taking its sweet time, to judge by a 14% jump in industry giant
Sandstorm Gold
(SAND) sank 13% as the precious metal tumbled 2.26% to settle at a seven-month low. There were, however, some
Silver Linings
to be found for bullion, for it ended the week being
fondled by the hottest woman in Hollywood
. (In my next life, I'm coming back as a gold plated, 13-and-half-inch, 8.5 pound man named Oscar.)
Eastman Kodak
(EKDKQ), now in bankruptcy,
is no longer emblazoned on the Academy Awards theater
and with digital camera king
(SSTK) surging 17.15% on Friday to a fresh-52 week peak, it isn't hard to see why.
Diamond thieves split quickly
after a heist and
Dimon, Jamie was urged to do the same
No top-tier economic data due today, but earnings announcements are expected out of
Caesars Entertainment
3D Systems
(PSO), and
URS Corporation
Akamai Technologies
(AKAM): Macquarie moves the stock to Outperform from Neutral with a $42 price objective. The broker says a recent stock price sell-off represents a good buying opportunity.
Anheuser-Busch InBev
(BUD): The brewing behemoth is now Neutral from Reduce at Nomura.
Atlas Energy
(ATLS): Robert W. Baird takes ATLS to Outperform from Perform and increases its price objective to $45 from $43. It is encouraged by higher than expected 2013 distribution guidance.
(CMI): The company gets added to Goldman Sachs' list of Conviction Buys.
FTI Consulting
(FCN): Shares are now Outperform from Market Perform at Northland.
Occidental Petroleum
(OXY): OXY is upgraded to Outperform from Market Perform at Raymond James.
Pan American Silver
(NASDAQ:PAAS): The commodity company gets a Buy-from-Hold boost at Canaccord, which also takes its price objective up to $23.50 from $22. A strong balance sheet, financial discipline, and exploration and production opportunities are all viewed as favorable factors for the equity.
Paper & Packaging
International Paper
(IP) and
(RKT) are each moved to Overweight from Neutral at JPMorgan.
(PRGO): UBS hoists the healthcare outfit to Buy from Neutral, sending it up sharply ahead of the open.
(SWY): The supermarket stock, fresh from an earnings-related surge last week, is lifted to Neutral from Underperform at Bank of America-Merrill Lynch.
(BID): Brokerage Craig Hallum increases the auction house to Buy from Hold amid continued strength in the contemporary art market.
Southwestern Energy
(GWN): Goldman adds the equity to its Conviction Buy list.
Total System
(TSS): TSS is taken to Outperform from Market Perform at Raymond James.
VMware Inc.
(VMW): Citing an increasingly compelling valuation, Citigroup takes the tech name to Neutral from Sell with an intact price objective of $75.
WebMD Health
(WBMD): The stock, which surged 25.40% on Friday to top the
(^IXIC), today gets a substantial Strong Buy-from-Market Perform ratings raise at Raymond James.

The typical e-cigarette is composed of three parts: atomizer, battery and cartridge.
The atomizer or vaporizer shown above converts liquid containing nicotine into a vapor. This part is delicate and must be cleaned regularly for optimal performance.
The battery powers the atomizer and the light at the tip where you would find ash on an "analog" cigarette. The atomizer and battery are screwed together easily, and when the battery is in use, it becomes warm. A battery will hold a charge for six hours or more, depending on how often you use it.
Battery and atomizer screwed together
The cartridge houses the nicotine liquid, commonly referred to as e-juice or e-liquid. Some cartridges are tan in color like the filter of a cigarette. Starter kits typically come with prefilled cartridges and are either unflavored or mint flavored, but a myriad of taste treats await you on the Internet and in stores if you are interested in filling your own cartridges and saving money.
Complete cigarette
This cigarette uses a prefilled cartridge. The tip of the atomizer simply pushes through a thin piece of foil in the cartridge to keep the liquid from evaporating or leaking. Fiber such a small cottonball or a bit of cloth--is used to soak in the e-juice. The entire cigarette is roughly the same size as a tobacco cigarette, but sizes and shapes vary widely.
The vapor is pulled through a small hole in the cartridge when you take a drag, and the light at the tip comes on. The light flashes when the battery requires a recharge.
Advanced features are available such as battery cutoff buttons, but this is the basic format of all electronic cigarettes.
There is much more to come on this topic. Please feel free to ask questions of me.
Please post questions or comments, and I will reply promptly. You can also reach me by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

rich buttermilk waffles
print now | return to original post
Rich Buttermilk Waffles
Adapted from How to Cook Everything, Mark Bittman
Serves 4 to 6
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 3/4 cups buttermilk* or 1 1/2 cups sour cream or plain yogurt thinned with 1/4 cup milk
2 eggs, separated
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick butter, melted and cooled)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Canola or other neutral oil for brushing on waffle pan (Deb note: Pam works great!)
Combine the dry ingredients. Mix together the buttermilk, sour cream or yogurt and the egg yolks. Stir in the butter and vanilla.
Brush the waffle iron lightly with oil and preheat it. Stir the wet into the dry ingredients. Beat the egg whites with the whisk or electric mixer (spotlessly clean ones work best) until they hold soft peaks. Stir them gently into the batter.
Spread a ladleful or so of batter onto the waffle iron and bake until the waffle is done, usually 3 to 5 minutes, depending on your iron. Serve immediately or keep warm for a few minutes in a low oven.
* The buttermilk can be substituted with 1 1/4 cups of milk at room temperature, mixed with two tablespoons white vinegar, left to clabber for 10 minutes.

Gold-on-black brocade has got us palpitating this winter. We were loving it in this gorgeous little mini we saw last week, and we're even more crazy about the look in these Skinny Jeans in Metallic Baroque Print ($70). They're perfectly wintery and utterly elegant. Whoever is making these beautiful fabrics, keep 'em coming.

BEREA — The Browns stayed with defense in the second round, picking Pittsburgh defensive end Jabaal Sheard with the No. 37 overall pick.
They drafted defensive tackle Phil Taylor in the first round at No. 21.
Sheard had nine sacks and was the Big East Defensive Player of the Year as a senior. Like Taylor, Sheard also had some legal issues.
He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after throwing a man through a glass door at an art gallery, according to Pro Football Weekly. He was reinstated following a team suspension and was voted team captain.
Sheard is 6-foot-3, 264 pounds. He's athletic with good speed (a 4.68-second 40-yard dash).
The Browns' next pick is No. 59, which was acquired from Atlanta in a trade Thursday.

Our 5 leg Ming style fishbowl stands come in 7 diameters, one inch variations, 8.5" to 15.5" inches. Our shoji screen stands come in 4 sizes to match 3, 4, 5, and 6 panel room dividers. Our indoor plant stands and pedestal plant stands come in a variety of heights, from 20" to 36" tall.

Our 5 leg stands are sometimes used to lift and accentuate large Mexican, Mediterranean, or African pottery and basket planters, and our indoor plant stands and pedestal plants stands also look great under large fine art objects and curios, or serve as extra tall lamp or end tables. Our plate display stands, both art and plate easels, display decorative wall fans, small mirrors, photo frames, framed paintings, or degrees.

We apologise…
May 10, 2012
From James Paterson
Australia has the world's best paid public servants. But guess which state has the most? (Hint: it's where Bob Brown once saw a comet called 'Global Democracy'.)
Please accept our humble apologies. Last month we put Will Smith on the cover of the IPA Review, as part of our story on the top 20 pro-freedom films you must see. And then he goes and does this.
This great chart from The Atlantic this week tells you everything you need to know about the Euro. It turns out a monetary union with all countries starting with the letter 'm' would make more sense!
And if you think Europe really is undertaking radical austerity then you haven't seen this graph from the National Review Online on Monday. If this is austerity I'd hate to see what the new French President has in mind!
Oxford University is a very serious institution. Which is of course why the penalty for joking about your 'great rack' is a four and a half hour inquisition.
How many trees is one dead tree worth? One Victorian council thinks the answer is 200. Native vegetation laws are an outrageous attack on property rights, which is why we were pleased to see at least one state government finally willing to do something about it. (Surprise, surprise, it's not the state with the most public servants.)
What better way to celebrate Friedrich Hayek's 113th birthday than by looking at these amazing photographs showing how capitalism transformed East Germany?
If you're anything like me you've wondered why young people are so enthralled with dystopian fiction like The Hunger Games (recently released on the big screen). This long piece in The New Yorker tries to explain. And Learn Liberty reveals the hidden libertarian themes of the recent box-office hit.
Here's what else the IPA said this week:
- Chris Berg, We can't stop climate change – it's time to adapt – The Drum
- Alan Moran, Despite tough talk, spending is on agenda – Herald Sun
- Alan Moran, The Rise of China is the Real End of History – Quadrant

R.E.N.N.E.T.March 4, 2011, 1am
So today we are putting on our finest cardigans, our coke-bottled glasses, and popping an XR Adderall, because today, Blog-o-sphere, we are going back to Cheese University. Sweet. First stop? Soft serve machine in the dining hall.
Well, not really. But today, I thought I'd gather all of you guys around in a semi-circle of those little desks where the writing surface and the chair is connected (remember those?!) and give you a talkin' to 'bout the chemical universe behind cheese making. Specifically the world of RENNET. Which is a small galaxy owned by Cher and a group of Swiss cheese makers.
Rennet is a key ingredient in the beginning steps of making cheese. So let's review what happens in the cheese conception stage….
Step 1.) Find a group of cows. Or sheep. Or goats. Or even water buffalo! Then lure them into a shed and milk them. (In a totally not creepy way). Collect the milk and then set your animals free. Or milk a bunch of different animals and combine the milk. So. Much. Fun. Already.
Step 2.) Pour your milk into a vat and gently warm it (or if you want to pasteurize it, this is the time you heat it up to 145 degrees, keep it at that temperature for half an hour, and then keep going….whatever, it's up to you. Go ahead and pasteurize your cheese. You big baby.) and pour your STARTER CULTURE into it.
Starter culture is one of several types of bacteria that helps ferment the sugars found in milk. When you ferment the sugar, you make the milk slightly acidic.
But Chrissssssssssss. Why would you want slightly acidic cheese? Won't that taste grossssss?
No! And the reason why it is actually a good thing is because of RENNET! Let's investigate step three.
Step 3.) Add your rennet. Rennet is an enzyme that can be either animal or plant derived (more on this later) that helps the milk fats coagulate. It basically separates the fats from the liquids. The CURDS from the WHEY. Gah! You then pour off the whey, and you have your baby cheese! Eekers! And the slight acidity produced by the starter culture makes the rennet act fast and efficiently!
So the first thing to keep in mind when learning about rennet is that it is a natural enzyme that is designed to coagulate and digest milk fats. It also comes from a natural place that often grosses most people out. That place is called YOUR STOMACH. Well…not your stomach, but baby animal stomachs. Literally.
I will excuse you to dry heave for a second as you think about the linings of animal stomach that are all up in the wedge of cheese you just bought….
So, rennet is the enzyme that is found in the stomachs of most mammals. What this enzyme does is help animals digest and suck up nutrients from a mother's milk. So how do we get rennet for cheese making? Hold onto your chair, because it's about to get gnarly.
So once people figured out that this enzyme helped make cheese, the stomachs of baby animals that had been slaughtered for food would be collected, cleaned, dried, and then cut into little bits. Then, they were put into a solution of salt water and vinegar and left to sit for a while. It's then filtered, and in the resulting solution, you have enough rennet to make HELLA CHEESE! These days, this process is sped up with some sort of enzyme extracting chemical solution that is spilled all over the place. I don't really understand how THAT works, so if you want to come over and give me some tutoring on what's going on, that would be super.
How did people figure out that rennet is needed for cheese? There are lots of myths and legends surrounding the dawn of cheese time, but it seems like the consensus is that at some point in time, someone stored some milk in a not so clean animal stomach and then forgot about it. When they tried to get at it, the curds had coagulated and turned into cheese! Imagine the guy who was like "Hey guys! Look at this gooey crud coming out of this old animal stomach! Pay me 5 sheckles to eat it?!" (Dylan, I'm looking at you…) The rest, as they say, is her-story (gotta be PC on the blog.)
Ok, so let's get one thing straight. Get ready and pay attention here. All cheese has rennet. That's right. All of 'em. (OK, so not alllllll cheeses, but most of them. And is cottage cheese even really a "cheese?" It's more like a curd things anyways so it doesn't really count….right?) You get a cow cheese, it has cow rennet in it. You get a goat cheese, it has goat rennet in it. You get a sheep cheese, it has sheep rennet in it. Anyone who says they eat rennet-less cheeses is just plain stupid.
"So does this mean that cheese isn't vegetarian? There is stomach lining enzyme acid juice in my cheese that is holding it together?!?! I'll sue…"
Yes. Most of the time. But not always. There is also a good number of cheeses that use rennet found naturally in plants! Why they have rennet in them, I can't figure out…but it can be put to good use. It does the same thing as animal rennet, and results in a TRULY vegetarian cheese. A popular plant to get rennet from is the thistle, and it is often used in Spanish and Portuguese cheeses. The flavor is usually pretty weird…like a creamy pile of old fruit that has been sitting in sheep's diaper for a couple of days. Mmmmm….sounds good, right? They may be weird, but they sure are delicious.
So that's the basics of rennet! Yippee! Any questions? Didn't think so. Someone once brought a pig rennet cheese into the store that they had smuggled out of Italy. It tasted gross and dirty and like a poopy pig pen. So I say…don't mess with the science if it ain't broke. And that's the truth.
Alright lovey doveys. MORE CHEESE BLOGGIN' LATER!/ 1 Comment

I am 12 weeks pregnant, need cerclage and concerned about it
I had laser surgery in 88 and cryo in 93. My husband and I did fertility treatments for 6 to 7 years after that with no luck. We became foster parents and now have 3 children through foster care. I started having stomach problems 2 weeks ago and found out that I was 10 weeks pregnant. My doctor said with my past problems he was thinking I would need a cerclage, he did an exam and said my cervix felt short. He scheduled me for an internal ultrasound, which showed at 12 weeks my cervix is 2.5 to 2.6cm and is still closed. He said he would like to my cervix to be around 4.5 to 5 at this point so he reccomened a cerclage. I have never had anything like that done and have never had a spinal block, so I am a little concerned about it. Anyone else had this done recently and did you go full term?

While working on my own blood pressure issue now I'm always stressing about my DH because he has high blood pressure, heart disease (3 heart attacks, 2 bypasses so far!) and we live with the constant changes in his heart condition. It is extremely stressful and I know that's not good for my health. Exercise helps, but I am hoping to find an outlet through a support group or others who are in a similar situation. I think it would help if I could find others who are going through the same thing or have been there.

You know it always amazes me how much we ALL have in common! I've had high blood pressure for a couple of years now & I have to admit that I haven't really taken it very serious because it seems as tho I've ALWAYS had it!
When I lost 25 pounds I went to my Dr.'s office w/o taking my BP med that morning. I felt so weird I couldn't even explain how I felt(Kind of a cross between having a seizure, fainting, being hungry, not drinking enough water & having a hangover!!!). If you've never had any of these things I CANNOT explain it to you. I thought that if I lost weight I would be able to get off the med but I, unfortunately, am one that has High BP whether I'm thin or fat!!!
The thing I've realized after my MANY trials & tribulations is that I ALWAYS come out stronger on the other side! Sometimes it was very subtle....other times it has felt like I birthed another person!!! If I look for it tho I can see clearly the lesson I needed to learn from whatever it was at that time! I believe whole heartily that ALL of these things made me who I am today & I am a good person now so I have NO regrets!
Do not think I have no conscience because quite the opposite is true! Being brought up the way I was I had guilt & shame over THINKING about sinning.
Then one day somebody said to me 'Do you think your opinion is more important than God's?' & I answered 'Of course not!'...Their response to me then was 'Then how can you not forgive yourself when God has forgiven you?'....'That's kind of conceited, isn't it?'
The great thing about life is that we get so many chances & choices....whether you believe in God or not!
Remember how you got thru your last trial??? Apply that tenfold & hang on because You are in for the ride of your life!!!
This is beginning to sound like the rantings &/or ramblings of a mad woman but I truly believe what I have written to you.
Maybe right now it doesn't make total sense to you but come back to read this again after your next tribulation & I guarantee IT WILL!!!
I cannot imagine the fear you live with on a daily basis but I promise you we all live with our own fears!
I hope some of this....ANY of this... makes sense to you! If you don't know how already, learn to laugh! It makes life SO MUCH easier to deal with.
You & your husband will be okay if you apply any of this to your lives & continue to make healthy choices in your life, exercise & diets.
Good luck to you.
If you need ANYthing reach out to me! I may not being going thru EXACTLY what you are but my own trials can help me to help you deal with yours! I'm here as much for you as for me so ANYthing you need...just ask. If I can't help I will find somebody who can. If you need to vent, cry, talk or just laugh(which is my specialty!!!) I'm here for you!

With 145 forks, 125 open issues, and the last release almost 2years ago, django-piston appears to be approaching abandonware and since the project I'm working on is likely to be a big one, I'd like to standardise on something that's going to be around for a while. Is there something resembling a consensus in the Python/Django community regarding a preference for REST API services? Even if it's one of those 145 forks? Ideally, I'd like to find something that plays nice with @jacobian's REST Worst Practises
check http://djangopackages.com/grids/g/api/ (django-tastypie looks very promising)
I also don't like Piston very much. Don't misunderstand me. It is (or was) a good app, though it has its issues. The main problem I had working with it that it hides Debugging information coming from django.
If you are absolutely unsure about what to use roll your own. With django 1.3 and class based views you got already a good way to add an API like this. If you need OAuth or other authentication methods you can simply check existing ways in piston or other apps and use them.
It is worth mentioning about django-tastypie
This is getting faster acceptance than the others.
Django Piston project seems to be abandonned. Django rest framework has taken a large advantage with its second version.
Note that this is valid for now (2014), time may decide different.

Have any woman experienced any of the following things while dating? He does not call back, and she has the faintest idea why. The two go on a few dates and become close, then she asks where things are going; he stops calling. Or he goes from seeing a woman as fun and fantastic to someone he is not interest in. If any of the preceding has happened, a woman should not let a man's actions put a damper on dating. Simply put, he was not the right one. Women should always remember that they are great and sometimes they will have a disconnect with men. However, if she knows in advance what triggers these actions, she could create feelings and experiences for him where he is literally enthusiastic about being with her and cannot stay away.
It is always good to know what not to do first. If a relationship with him is the end game, here are three things that will turn him off to a relationship with you.
1) Over doing it.
During the "getting to know each other" phase, it is natural to want to make the other individual feel good. A woman, for the most part, wants to do things to make her guy like her in hopes to keep him close to her, but this is a huge mistake. Not only does "over doing it" not allow him the space to feel her, it could cause him to pull away. It could also leave him thinking, "This woman is too needy." If a woman is trying too hard to make a man interested in her, this will turn him off. Do not try so hard. If it is meant to be, it will be. Trying too hard and being too available could make anyone seem needy and insecure, even if it is not the case.
2) Overstepping boundaries.
Boundaries are limits that each individual sets in a relationship. All healthy relationships have boundaries, especially romantic ones. Setting boundaries in romantic relationships is generally tough, because a partner wants the other one to like him or her. Setting healthy boundaries actually promote healthier relationships because it gives both partners guidelines for meeting the other's wants and needs. In a new relationship, "overstepping boundaries" will create problems. Whatever boundary he sets, try not to overstep it. When a woman continuously oversteps her guy's boundaries, he will become distant and pull away.
3) Over zealous.
It is great to be clear about one's intentions early on. However, a man will surely resist getting close to a woman if she is "over zealous" about needing to get into a relationship. This is a definite way to destroy a new situation and the attraction a man is feeling toward her. Although it makes sense to communicate one's wants in the beginning, it does not help to have the "relationship" talk early on. In fact, it can and will hurt. Do not make this mistake. Do not let the premature talk make the right man mistake you as the wrong woman by having him feel like he is being rushed into a relationship.
Doing any or all three of these things is a surefire way to turn a man off to a relationship. If a woman wants better results when it comes to men, stop doing what made sense in the past and start doing things that will make him attracted to you. Strive to create those experiences with him to the point where he is constantly feeling that intense connection. As a result, he will be begging for more.

Out of the Darkness is a documentary about the effort of two humanitarian doctors dedicated to eradicate preventable blindness in the remotest regions on Earth.
Out of the Darkness is currently doing its Film Festival run around the globe, and will be released later this year for private screenings and DVD.
More than half of the world's preventable blindness is caused by cataract disease, a clouding of the clear lens of the eye. In developing countries like Nepal, it is not only a personal tragedy, but can devastate the economy of entire communities. Fortunately, it is also easy to cure. Cataract surgery is one of the most effective medical interventions on earth, but until recently was considered too expensive to provide to the rural poor.
Most of the world's blind people live in remote, impoverished areas. The majority of doctors able to cure them work in cities. Dr. Sanduk Ruit from Nepal, and his American partner, Dr. Geoff Tabin, have made perfecting a portable low cost surgical procedure to restore sight their life's work. They trek to Nepal's remote Northeast, carrying an entire hospital on porters' backs. Their mission is to bring the needlessly blind out of the darkness.
Please be aware that if you don't use the online form for organizing a public or private screening, I will not be able to contact you!

College Hockey:Glencross Leaves 'Wolves for Ducks
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Alaska-Anchorage sophomore Curtis Glencross has left the team to sign a free agent deal with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. The deal is for three years, terms were not disclosed.
Glencross, 21, finished the 2003-2004 regular season ranked first in goals and points for the Seawolves, earning 21-13=34 points with 79 penalty minutes in 37 games. His 14 goals in WCHA play ranked seventh overall in the league. Additionally, Glencross helped Alaska Anchorage to its first-ever berth in the WCHA's Final Five tournament to end the season.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound forward earned 11-12–23 points with 79 penalty minutes in 35 games as a freshman in 2002-2003. A native of Red Deer, Alberta, Glencross totaled 32-25–57 points in 72 career games at Anchorage.
Glencross is expected to join the Ducks at training camp next season.
