Russian monk. Born to a wealthy family, he gave up all connection with the comfortable circumstances of his parents and labored in the fields with the humble peasants before entering the monastery ofthe Caves in Kiev about 1032. Eventually becoming abbot of the community, he introduced many reforms to end the extreme asceticism which had been long-standing practice and introduced a more moderate rule for the monks. Aside from promoting the spiritual life in the region around Kiev, he also aided the poor, established hospitals, and involved himself in the dynastic politics of the duchy of Kiev. Through his labors, he made "the Caves" one of the foremost monastic institutions in Russia. Canonized in 1108 by the bishop of Kiev, he is venerated by the Russian Orthodox Church as one ofthe founders of Russian monasticism.

Forest Whitaker to Star in 'Patriots'?
Forest Whitaker is reportedly in talks with The Weinstein Company. According to Variety, the "The Last King of Scotland" star has been discussing about the possibility of him joining the studio's new drama project "Patriots" as the lead character.
If everything went well, the Academy Award-winning actor is going to depict Al Collins, the basketball coach for John Ehret High in Marrero, Louisiana. Additionally, if he joins the project, the 46-year-old actor will once again work with the studio and screenwriter Robert Eisele, who wrote "The Great Debaters".
The fact-based drama will be directed by "Fantastic Four" helmer Tim Story. About him being involved in the project, Story commented, "I've gotten caught up with the 'Fantastic Four' films but wanted to find a smaller film with heart, that brought me back to 'Barbershop', and this has come together with one of the best actors out there. What Coach Collins did to give back the lives of his players is so inspiring."
"Patriots" tells the story of Collins as he led his Patriots team to the state championship a year after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the school and displaced many of its students. The team consisted of only 10 players and prior to the disaster, they attended five different schools. In the meantime, the film is scheduled to start shooting in early April and is expected to be released around Thanksgiving.

Jay Evensen: On second thought . . .
Associated Press
Tonight is the night the hard of hearing are relieved to learn theyre not going to fall off a physical cliff.
Members of Congress were scheduled to convene last night to finally save us all from the mess they created. The fiscal cliff is their version of holding their breath until they get what they want, only in this case it is the rest of the nation that could turn blue.
Remember the days when Congress had to actually do something in order to make the economy worse?
Mitt Romneys son said last week that his dad never really wanted to become president. And that $42.5 million of his own money he spent to win the Republican nomination? Well, we all waste money on frivolous things from time to time.
Randi Zuckerberg, the sister of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, threw a fit last week when a family photo she posted, intending to be for friends eyes only, was made available to the entire world, and then went viral. Perhaps the next child born to the Zuckerberg clan should be named Karma.
A Zuckerberg getting tripped up by Facebooks ever-changing privacy policies? Thats kind of like Henry T. Ford getting stuck on an assembly line, with people trying to drive rivets into his skin, or Eli Whitney getting ginned, or Bill Gates forgetting his Windows password, or Honey Boo Boos mother telling everyone to stop looking.
Zuckerberg lectured that re-posting the photo wasnt a matter of privacy, it was a matter of human decency. Thousands of concerned citizens responded with opinions of their own — few were related in any way to human decency.
The interesting thing is that the Zuckerberg photo was of family members standing around in a kitchen, fully clothed, looking at electronic devices. If thats what it takes to go viral, a lot of people should be incredibly famous.
Those who fear a Big Mac attack on Christmas Day got a break this year. McDonalds asked its franchises to stay open on the holiday. Why fuss over ham all day when you have the dollar menu available?
Whats more pathetic than a fast-food chain being open on Thanksgiving and Christmas? The fact that millions of people make it a profitable decision.
More than 100 Utah teachers took a class last week on how to carry concealed weapons at school and respond to trouble. Putting the horrible tragedy in Connecticut aside for a moment, I know my playground behavior would have been much more civil years ago if my teacher had been armed and loaded.

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 190 reviews
We arrived at checking time after a 5 hour drive and we waited an hour and a half for them to get the room ready. At breakfast the next morning , they were understaffed and short of everything including napkins. We asked for a late check out and were told that was not possible because they already had given them to 10 other people. They were a bit stressed out because they were understaffed once more and really were unable to help.
king suite was great with separate bedroom and kitchenette. Complimentary breakfast buffet was not that great. easy access to all our destinations. clean room, pleasant staff.
It was a one night stay, but everyone was wonderful, especially Danita. Very welcoming, accommodating, and clean. Also, breakfast was wonderful! Continental,plus sausage, eggs, frittatas...
Our stay was fantastic. Clean, quiet, and super comfortable bed. I slept like a baby! This will be my go to whenever I'm in Austin from now on!
Very,very nice

Righty Harold Mozingo has been promoted to Wilmington, and Sam Runion, a Bee in each of the last three seasons, will report to extended spring training after being transferred to the Idaho Falls roster. Mozingo was 1-0 with a 6.23 ERA in six relief appearances with the Bees. The Virginia native struck out 11, walked five, and allowed nine hits in eight and two-thirds innings. Mozingo spent time with the Bees in 2007 before missing virtually all of the last two seasons due to injury.
Runion, who led the Midwest League in games started a year ago, worked exclusively out of the bullpen this year, posting a 13.06 ERA in 10 1/3 innings over seven appearances. Runion allowed 23 hits, seven walks, and struck out eight.
Joining the club will be Rodolfo Encarnacion, a 2010 free agent signee of the Royals.
Before joining the Royals this spring, Encarnacion was a member of the Florida Marlins organization, posting a 3.13 ERA in 82 appearances over three seasons. The righty struck out 136 in 115.0 innings with 73 walks and 93 hits allowed. Encarnacion was lights-out as a member of the Low-A Greensboro bullpen last year, striking out 51 in 34 2/3 innings with a 1.04 ERA in 19 appearances.
The Bees roster now stands at 23, two below the Midwest League maximum.

Herman Miller's Setu Chair: Behind the Scenes
Over at Otto, a blog about architecture and design, a behind the scenes look at the entire production of Herman Miller's latest chair design, the Setu chair. The Studio 7.5 team, responsible for the design of the new seating, sought to create "a chair that combines work-chair principles of motion and comfort with sleak lines, simplicity, and an affordable price."
According to the Herman Miller website, the Setu has an "innovative kinematic spine bends and flexes to your every move. There's nothing to tilt, nothing to tweak. Setu's finely tuned elastomeric fabric provides superior suspension and conforms to your contours." Check out the article to see exactly what goes into designing a high-tech ergonomic chair---truly "high performance" seating! We liked peeking into the entire process...

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course).

And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

I am an independent Calgary sommelier providing a full range of consumer services - sourcing, events, cellar management and general wine education. My approach to wine is situational - I do not believe that wines are good or bad, rather each wine has a place and a situation to be appropriate. My expertise is in making this wonderful beverage accessible; to de-mystify and de-snobbify wine education. After all, wine is ultimately rotten grapes stuffed into bottles!!

Since I had bought the DVD singles, I ordered the empty boxes a long time ago (TRSI links for the first one, second one, and third one). Wow, that was about nine years ago. I don't recall where they are now. I either still have them, gave 'em away, or just tossed them into the recycle bin. ^_^

I don't usually keep them wrapped around the boxes like in the picture. I tuck them away inside. Yes, the are incredibly cheap but I do have a fascination with them. I just like obis.
Thank you lem. It ended up costing me quite a bit of cash but I got it and it feels good. I wish you the best with Orguss.

Preorder from the TRSI FUNimation sale:
Fafner Movie: Heaven and Earth DVD/Blue-Ray set
Serial Experiments Lain DVD/Blu-ray Complete Collection
I have the Geneon singles and artbox for the Fafner TV show and am not going to double dip on that but I decided to get the movie for completeness and to get free shipping on the Serial Experiments Lain set, which is a double-dip. Ironically, I probably paid as much or more for the Signature Series singles as I bought them back in 2004 from Best Buy, I think they cost about $15 each. Seeing the "Hey, nice package" video cemented my decision to get the new set.
Now, if it only had an obi...

|The impression I got from the video was that FUNimation is sending this Lain set up as a kind of "trial baloon" in terms of trying to do packages similar to what Japanese fans are getting. However, knowing them, I would not be surprised if a lower-priced version comes out sometime down the road. I would not expect to see this version come down too far unless they make too many, and I don't think they will do that on this one.
|Back to top
Posts: 1518
Hm, that's interesting if that is their intent with it! Hopefully they will do more releases like it. Of course, I'm sure they'll re-release it two... three times, but wasn't sure if it would be as limited as the other LE chip boards.
...also for some reason I was thinking it was $42, but it's actually $54... Well, I have until the 8th to think it over, because I wouldn't be getting it for any more than that price... I was sort of hoping that if I hold out, maybe it'll be up for holiday sales, but if I wait, it might not go down in price for a while, or sell out by then.
-_- I hate budget restrictions...

the newer release of Nadesico (it came with a cool red and white magnet, perfect for my metal shelving)
20th Century Boys 22

Higurashi 19
House of Five Leaves 8 (Finally!)
Hunter x Hunter 28
Yotsuba Volume 11
to add insult to my newb injury I bought Volume 1 when it was first available at RACS years ago. All the while thinking 'ok if this first one is my cup o' tea I'll go ahead and get the set... and it never happened.
I'm certainly not against favors. I just can't see how those various implements of destruction would work any better than fire. oh. but wait... your problem solving will be of the surgical variety.

Amazon.co.jp and DHL love me right now. Today the last of my recent orders will arrive, then I will have to watch out for new volumes as they come. In the last while I got some light novels and manga for series I saw in anime this year or have read in monthly mags but wanted the tankobons. All Japanese, all received last week or this week:
Birdy the Mighty 1-20
Birdy the Mighty EVOLUTION 13
Boku wa H ga Dekinai light novels 1-9, manga 1-3 + Caesar's Carnal Desire 1
Tasogare Otome x Amunijia / Dusk Maiden of Amnesia 1-7
Tari Tari 1
Kokoro Connect light novel Asu Random 1, 4 col manga 2
Nozoki Ana 1-12
Campione light novels 1-5 8 11-13

During the Right Stuf Viz sale, I got the first six volumes of Ooku. I read the first four at the library and loved it.
I also finally got the live action Mushishi movie during the Funimation sale. The anime and manga are some of my favorites.
I also finally took the plunge and purchased all of Twin Spica after reading so much praise for it. I love a good manga series.
I also feel like an otaku now because I bought my first hug pillow. It was incredibly hard to find a non sexual one.
And someone was selling the Megahouse 1/8 scale Cure Blossom figure I had been wanting for a more reasonable price, so I just couldn't pass it up.

Instead of throwing the slipcovers, obi's, filler boxes, and whatever else away that you don't want, you could always try to list them on ebay. I have seen slipcovers listed on ebay and people bidding on them. Just gather everything up and list it. It wouldn't hurt to try. You would be suprised what people will bid on.

The Latest From BostonBiker.org
News, Events, Updates
Spoke Count Artist Submission DeadlineWritten by Boston Biker on Dec 18
This from the people over at The Chorus Gallery, looks like a lot of fun, if you are of the art persuasion submit something.
We now interrupt our regularly scheduled program to bring you a fun bike art event for the whole family.
Spoke Count is a collaborative installation featuring 100+ small works about bikes by various artists. It is estimated that there currently exist over one billion bicycles in the world- this show will attempt to visualize this (growing) mass of our favorite revolutionary transport. We are inviting you, the art and cycling community, to provide us with 100 8 inch x 8 inch drawings of bicycles which we will exhibit during January 2010. Our reception will be on Sat Jan 9th, between 7-10 in the evening at Chorus Gallery in Union Sq.
We will not be picky on media or image. Your submission can be, but is not limited to, a print, photograph, digital image, made out of cut vinyl, or even a drawing. It can be your little sister on a bike, a lug, or painfully accurate drawing of 365 spokes in a pile. All that we ask is that it is of some part of a bicycle and we can mount it to the wall by two map pins.
Spoke count will be a open show for 100 lucky participants. So RSVP ASAP here, and deliver your art work by Thursday January 7th by 5pm (feel free to drop off earlier than that during Open Bicycle's normal hours).
– Unframed– able to be punctured and supported on a wall by a map pin.
– 8 inches x 8 inches.
– Bicycle content.
All works will be for sale and priced at $40. Doesn't matter if you never draw or have been a finalist for the Venice Biennale, the work will be for sale at $40. Full disclosure, we will be splitting all sold work 30% gallery and 70% artist, as is our standard. But feel free to trade drawings with friends, we don't mind.
Expect another of our exceptional receptions on the 9th– drinks, dancing, music, and lots of art to look at.
See you soon
The management.

MassBike Annual Meeting and SprintsWritten by Boston Biker on Dec 08
From the MassBike website, this looks like a good time.
Beer, Free Snacks, Roller Sprints Racing, Good Times!
This year's Annual Meeting, a fun, open-to-the-public event, will be held at Coogan's Pub in Boston.
Come out and join us Wednesday, December 9th at 6:00-9:00pm. The annual meeting will start at 6pm, with a quick review of our 2009 successes with Executive Director David Watson, followed by Q&A. Learn what MassBike has been up to and hear about our future plans.
Then the real fun starts! You can get a drink from the bar and enjoy some free snacks donated by Coogan's. We will be watching a great short movie "The Impossible Journey" by John Bonner. After you have a drink (or two) and are limbered up, we are going to have Roller Sprints provided by Open Bicycle!
If you have never experienced the fun and excitement of indoor roller racing, now is your chance! Picture two bicycles side by side on rollers (don't worry, they use a fork stand, you don't need to balance), the crowd counts down 3,2,1 and they are off! The first person to pedal 300 meters wins! High drama, loads of fun, and thrilling to watch! Come out, challenge your friends, challenge yourself, or maybe just watch other people go for the win! Bicycles provided so you don't even need to have your bike to race! This is a great time, and something you don't want to miss.
The Details:
What: MassBike Annual Meeting
When: Wednesday December 9th 6pm to 9pm
Where: Coogan's Pub, 171 Milk Street, Boston
Why: Beer, free snacks, good people, Roller Sprints!

Ride To Taza, Chocolate RideWritten by Boston Biker on Dec 02
Seriously how could you go wrong, there is going to be an open house at Taza chocolates…makers of fantastically delicious chocolates. Even if you don't go on this ride you should check out this event.
RozzieBikes will be riding to the Taza Chocolate Open House in Somerville on Saturday, December 5, 2009. Check out their web site at http://www.tazachocolate.com/ for information about them.
The open house starts at 10 am, so we'll leave Adams Park in Roslindale Square at 9:15 am and ride up the Emerald Necklace, stopping at the Jamaica Pond Boathouse for a few minutes between 9:30 and 9:40 before heading on to Somerville. We'll use a lot of bike paths and bike lanes in Boston, Brookline, and Cambridge and try to head home before noon. The weather is supposed to be nice, but we'll cancel if it is raining hard and maybe if it is snowing hard… Helmets are required, as usual. The round trip should be under 20 miles. Dress warmly, but not quite as heavily as you think you should; on a ride this long, you'll generate quite a bit of heat. Wear warm gloves, though.
Contact Doug Mink at [email protected] if you have any questions.

It does take 10 "D" cell batteries, and I found that you can find a pack of 10 at Target for about $9 if you hunt around, AND you can prolong the life of the batteries if you make sure to switch the AC/DC switch on the back to AC when you are not using it. Otherwise the clock (any "sleep mode" functions) will suck the battery life down. That or it all transferred to the iPod. I'm not sure - just make sure to flip that switch.
It even comes in a huge box you could cut up and breakdance on.
PROS - I mean look at it, it's awesome. And it sounds great too!
CONS - 10 D batteries? Are you kidding me? Good thing there's a plug. Also, I'm not convinced that this actually recharges your ipod as you listen to it. The ipod says it's recharging...but I'm not 100% sure...
So so. It sounds like a mediocre box from the '80s ( although better than most things that are available today)..not bad, but nothing to write home about. It does not hold up to the better boxes of the past, but that shouldn't be surprising. The treble frequencies are reproduced clearly with little or no harshness, the same for the midrange. Bass response seems to roll off at about 100-120Hz.
The good news is that it has separate bass and treble (-7 to +7 Db) controls, so your not limited to (often useless) pre-set eq settings.
AM reception is so awful that I thought something was wrong with it. All I could pull in were the strongest local stations and not very well. After talking a look inside (I wasn't about to send it back over poor AM reception, and I have a background in electronics) I noticed one of the most minanal AM circuits I've ever seen, and a VERY small coil bar. Replacing the tiny ferrite bar brought reception up to less than average instead of almost deaf.
If you are planning to listen to the AM band be repaired to be disappointed.
FM overload city. One station (100KW that's about 8 miles away) over more than half of the dial covering over most weak signals. However medium and strong signals come though just fine. A FM mono switch helps clean up fringe signals.
The USB port reads your PMP/MP3 player like a disc (you can't use the controls on your player), and also charges the device (you may not want to do this if you are running "D" cells as it will drain them). The card slot works as it should (I have not tried a card that's over 2G, so I don't know if it will read HC cards).
Navigating is done by browsing though folders (F01 F02 ect.Read more ›
It doesn't fit an iphone though, only every other model ipod. The usb slot is very useful, but having the usb stick out can get bumped pretty easy. The SD card is the best option for me.

text: Home > Medical > Tests and procedures Updated 27 January 2016 How is a Pap test performed? The Pap test is a medical screening test to check for the early warning signs of cancer of the uterine cervix. Here's how the doctor will perform it, and what he or she will be looking for. 0 The Pap test is a medical screening test that is designed to check for the early warning signs of cancer of the uterine cervix.It was first described by George Papanicolaou and is also sometimes known as the Papanicolaou test, Pap smear, cervical smear, cervical cytology or simply a smear test. Although the Pap smear is primarily used for the detection of abnormalities of the cervix, it may also sometimes indicate the presence of infections of the vagina and the cervix and may also sometimes indicate the presence of cancer cells that originate from the lining of the uterus or the endometrium. However, the test was not designed for this purpose. What is the aim of a Pap test?The cervix is that portion of the uterus that is partly visible to a doctor during a pelvic examination. The outer part of the cervix is called the ecto-cervix and contains on its surface a certain type of cell that looks very much like a paving stone. These flat cells are called squamous cells. Slightly higher up in the cervix a different type of cell is found that is more upright and produces mucus. These are called endo-cervical cells. Where the two different types meet, there is a special area called the transformation zone where one cell type may change into another cell type under the influence of hormones. This transformation zone is very sensitive to the influence of cancer-causing agents and that is the reason why the most common cancer of women in South Africa (cervix cancer) occurs exactly at this part of the body. The Pap test is a medical investigation where cells from the cervix are taken during a pelvic examination. The doctor will insert a special instrument (speculum) into the vagina to keep the walls apart in order to better see the cervix. A wooden/plastic spatula or brush is used to gently scrape off some of the cells of the cervix, which are then smeared on to a glass slide that is marked with the patient's name and identification number. These cells are then fixed on to the slide with a spray. The glass slide is transported to a laboratory where the cells are stained with pigments in order to highlight certain features. What is the cause of abnormal cells on the cervix?Abnormal cells on the cervix may predict the development of cancer many years before the event. The abnormal cells display certain characteristics that indicate damage and are usually classified according to the Bethesda system in South Africa (see description of results). It is now known that human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is an important risk for the formation of dysplastic cells (abnormal cells) on the cervix. There are different types of HPV, and certain types are more likely to cause cancer. These types are called the oncogenic types and can be found in nearly all cases of cervix cancer. Other risk factors for the development of abnormal cells include smoking and low immunity, for instance with HIV infection. Who should get a Pap test?All women should get regular Pap smears after the onset of sexual activity. The smear test should be repeated one to three yearly, depending on the advice of the healthcare worker. A Pap smear can be done on any day of the menstrual cycle but sometimes a doctor may ask to postpone the smear test during the heaviest days of the menstrual flow. However, if bleeding continues, it is important to get the smear test done despite the bleeding because abnormal bleeding may be a sign of cervical cancer. A Pap smear can safely be done during the earlier months of pregnancy (usually up to around 20 weeks) without any risk to the pregnancy. How are the results reported?Cervical cytology is not a final diagnosis and is a screening test. It gives an indication of the degree of the abnormality and identifies those patients that need further investigation and treatment. In South Africa the Bethesda system of classification is widely used. A Pap smear can be reported as normal, low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) or high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL). Very rarely the Pap smear may indicate a cancer. There are a few other categories of abnormal smears and your doctor will be able to explain these. The usual advice after a LSIL smear will be to repeat the smear six to twelve months later, and, if the smear is again abnormal, the patient would be referred for further tests. If the smear shows an HSIL or carcinoma, the patient will get an urgent referral for further tests. These tests usually include colposcopy and biopsy (see article on cervical biopsy). How accurate is a Pap test?A single Pap smear is not a perfect test. There may be a normal result despite an abnormality on the cervix. For this reason, it is important to get repeated smears regularly to minimise the risk of missing an abnormal lesion on the cervix. Certain improvements on the technology are now available in certain centres, including liquid-based cytology and HPV testing. Liquid-based cytology uses a clear liquid to store that sample instead of a glass slide, and it is a more accurate way to diagnose abnormalities. A test for specific HPV infections can sometimes improve the accuracy of the Pap smear, and may help to determine the risk associated with an abnormal smear. What happens after a Pap test?There may be slight bleeding after a Pap smear but it should settle within a day or two. There is usually no pain and after the internal pelvic examination there should be no problems like discomfort or discharge. The results of your Pap smear should be available between three to thirty days after the test, depending on the laboratory.
