This review is from: Cyborg CCB437080002/04/1 Black USB Wired Laser 6400 dpi R.A.T. 7 Gaming Mouse
Pros: Fully adjustable in nearly every direction (and weight) makes for a nice feel under your hand (until parts wear out). Cable is sturdy and well insulated. On the fly sensitivity and a sniper button make switching between tracking aircraft and precision sniping shorter than your respawn time.
Cons: Palm rest is barely held in place by a spring loaded arm attached with a single screw. After about 6 months of use, the screw kept backing out causing the rest to slide freely creating a horrible user experience. I changed to a less comfortable palm rest (which is now encountering the same issue).
Feet are cheap, but well glued on, unfortunately that glue also picks up all sorts of dust and debris making a gooey mess that inhibits smooth tracking after a couple months.
Half covered laser hole on bottom picks up the occasional crud from the feet, destroying any sense of accurate tracking until you can retrieve the offending clump of dust.
Other Thoughts: This was my first venture away from Razer mice since I bought my first one around 2001. Even though I was initially extremely very pleased with this mouse, over time the true durability and flaws came out. I'd stay away from these overly adjustable mice (it took me 2 weeks to get mine comfortable) and stick to a more traditional mouse.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ASUS 24X DVD Burner - Bulk 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 24X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS
Pros: Very Fast, quiet, and hasn't turned a coaster yet.
Cons: Tray feels a little flimsy, I wouldn't use it as a cup holder.
Other Thoughts: Replaced a highly rated similar spec Lite-On, and watched DVD rips cut from 35-40mins down to 10-15, burn times slightly less as well even at same rated speed.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: LIAN LI PC-B25F Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros: Attention to detail and logical design. Every fan is pre-mounted on anti-vibration rings. Motherboard mounts already in place for ATX and thumbscrews provide the most solid mount for the motherboard I've seen. My first case with power supply on the bottom and the case seems much more stable for it. There's plenty of room in the case for aftermarket cpu coolers or liquid cooling (and pre fabricated holes for liquid too!). Cable routing was very easy, and I actually managed to put very many of them between the motherboard tray and the removable side panel (yes even that thick 24-pin)! Card retainers are sturdy and securely hold even my twin slot 8800 Ultras just fine. This case is very simple and easy to work with, everything you need is already included!
Cons: Cables from top mounted ports can interfere with top 5.25" bay. Front and top are a little too easily removed (and can be accidental). Thumbscrews for motherboard mounts can interfere with adjacent power cables (use the smaller thumbscrews in crowded places!). All those fans are 3-pin connectors with a converter to use a molex, which is fine for a fan or two, but when you've got 6 fans in a case with no fan controller, those molex adapters can really take up lots of space! About all that space for those long video cards, yes they fit, but it's a bit tricky to get them in place (suggest removing hard drive cage to make simpler).
Other Thoughts: I replaced all of the 120mm fans with the Enermax MAGMA UC-MA12 fans ($15 @ newegg) as soon as the case arrived. The fans included in the case are fine, but I had these in the previous Lian-Li and found them quieter and moved more air than the included 120mms. The blue ring on the front is kind of cool, but it really should glow in a ring or something cool like that. I really would have like to see it chase itself in circles as a hdd activity light, but it is still sharp looking in solid on. The case over all is very solid and smooth, I wasn't able to find a rough edge or cut myself anywhere in the process! As always I find myself very impressed with Lian-Li, and even owning a few of the other cases from them, this is surely king. The additional airflow and cooling in this case lowered the underload temps of my SLI 8800 Ultras by 6C over the previous Lian-Li desktop case.READ FULL REVIEW

Does anyone know if it is possible to re-create your categories\URL paths when you switch from WordPress.com to WordPress.org?
I am now running my site on BlueHost with WordPress.org installed. When I upload my posts from WordPress.com, it keeps the date and the "categories" and "tags", but it assigns them all to a number, such as ?p=40.
This is sort of annoying, I wish I knew how to make WordPress see my categories and tags and re-create the directories for them. Is this possible at all? I have a lot of pages in Google and other search engines that people aren't going to find now.

Hoffman relieved to finally return
Closer activated from disabled list
Houston - Less than 24 hours after saying his bullpen was well-rested, Milwaukee Brewers manager Ken Macha found himself asking the newest addition to his bullpen, closer Trevor Hoffman, how long he could go.
"I did ask Hoffman if he has three or four innings in him," Macha said before the game Sunday. "He just started laughing at me."
It's nice to even have Hoffman to call on, even if just for the ninth inning. Hoffman, who suffered a right oblique strain in spring training, was reinstated from the disabled list Sunday after two rehabilitation appearances with Class AAA Nashville, the club Hoffman played for while coming up in the Cincinnati Reds' system 17 years ago.
Now, Hoffman had his opening day after 17 games of the 2009 season.
"I think 17 days in, to finally have your opening day is a little bit different," said Hoffman, baseball's career saves leader. "I'm definitely glad to be back."
This season marks the first time in Hoffman's career that he has started a season on the DL with the exception of 2003, when he missed nearly the entire season after having shoulder surgery.
He admitted that that situation was different from this one, being it's with a new team and knowing he wouldn't have to miss the majority of the season.
"It was different because then I knew starting the season was unattainable," Hoffman said. "This one I was kind of fighting the timeline.
"It's always frustrating when you don't get a chance to do the things you want to. But early on in this process it was doing no good to push things that (your body) just wasn't going to allow you to do."
Hoffman used his time on the shelf to observe and get to know the team, specifically the bullpen. He learned personalities and helped teammates when he could.
"It wasn't necessarily pulling out the pom-poms," he said, "but be an encouragement to guys and find a different way other than participating on the field to help out."
He was a big help for guys who just wanted to sit and talk shop. Todd Coffey, who helped fill in with Carlos Villanueva as closer while Hoffman was out, learned how a future Hall of Famer starts preparing at a certain point in the game by studying batters he might face in the ninth inning.
Hoffman also talked to Coffey and others about forgetting bad outings so they don't linger into the next one and also tossing out good ones so they don't become a crutch.
"Having him in the bullpen just to talk to was great," Coffey said. "I've learned a ton from him already. You can't ask for a better brain to pick. You get to see where his mind-set is, the way he starts looking at a lineup at a certain point because it might roll around to him and looking at their at-bats.
"It was a full onslaught to my brain."
Jinxed bullpen
After an 11-inning, 4½-hour victory Saturday night, Macha was looking to rest a couple of his relievers. He had declared the bullpen rested and ready to go Saturday afternoon thanks to a deep start by Dave Bush Thursday in Philadelphia and a complete game Friday by Yovani Gallardo to start the Houston series.
But Macha warned that all could change with one bad start. That wasn't the case with Jeff Suppan going six innings Saturday, but the extra innings forced the bullpen to cover another five.
"I cursed myself saying it could (switch) in one day," Macha said. "But one of the nice things is I've been able to alternate guys in the bullpen, in particular with Coffey and Villanueva able to go two innings so the other guy gets a day off."
No Rivera-Parra battery yet
Macha said a couple weeks ago that he would be comfortable pairing Manny Parra with backup catcher Mike Rivera the same way he used Rivera with Bush to give regular catcher Jason Kendall some extra rest.
Sunday afternoon was a perfect opportunity to do so with a long extra-inning game the night before. But Macha still wants to see Parra with Kendall and said it was still too early in the season for Kendall to need any extra time off.
Macha did acknowledge, however, that the scenario Sunday would be precisely the kind of time he could use the Parra-Rivera pairing later in the season.

"AN OPEN AIR SHOPPING CENTER" Calle Florida - Florida Street Tip by RafaelTheSecond
Calle Florida - Florida Street, Buenos Aires: 39 reviews and 63 photos
It is an incredible mile-long pedestrian mall, popular for its gem, leather and fur stores. Also where you can see the locals mixing with foreigners, it is a real Babilonia, I like walking there to see the new cds and the book shops, it is also the street where you can find the beautiful Pacifico Shopping Center.
Steve had taken this picture, though he does not like dealing with cameras, taking a picture of him is harder than climbing the Everest mountain, but I do have some pictures of him, hehehehe

Latest update causes 2 issues with our news portal
1) suddenly the SB links create double http elements like so: click the diigo button,
2) with the OG option on, we now no longer get images pushed to LinkedIn and others, since we use local images inserted dynamically into the text from our master CMS pushing to WP install; so there are no images in the "gallery" (also saves dbase space). For example on above page, image is simply loaded from http://send2pressnewswire.com/image/11-0906-prtwiz_72dpi.jpg per normal img src tag in the story text, not uploaded via WP GUI. I have to use the "AddThis" widget to get images pushed from this page.
3) does anybody audit the widgets ? AOL's Propeller died last year so why keep the option in there through the past 10 updates? MIXX has also been DOA for many months since sold to another company, and it's no longer a valid option.
4) would be nice to have a commercial option to pay for this and remove the bloated elements, including pushing all the links through the Shareaholic system first. We often run into issues where we cannot use the Sexy links for Google Buzz, or Digg, as the Shareaholic server times out. Why not direct links without you tracking everything? A commercial option to bypass all your stuff if desired would be cool, as we're exploring how to recreate this "look" with our own graphics and more efficient posting without the redirects through your server.

It was love at first audition for Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski.
Fischer, who plays Pam to Krasinski's Jim on The Office, isn't sure their characters would have become the fan-favorites they are if he hadn't been chosen to play her husband.
"I was paired up with John often and I thought this was good because he was my favorite Jim," Fischer explains of the final round of eight actors – four Pams and four Jims – on Thursday's episode of The Jeff Probst Show.
"On the second day, John whispered to me, 'You're my favorite Pam. I hope you get it.' "

Date Night! Star Couples Share Sweet Evening at the SAG Awards

Romance seemed to be in the air Saturday at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in Los Angeles as stars and their spouses showed their sweet affection for each other.
Kevin Bacon was a bundle of nerves before his name was announced as best male actor in a TV movie or miniseries for his role in HBO's Taking Chance, but wife Kyra Sedgwick kept him looking his best. How? "I had to blot his face a little," she admitted to PEOPLE at the afterparty.
Mad Men star Christina Hendricks's new husband, Geoffrey Arend, was clearly his wife's biggest fan. "I feel like the luckiest man ever. She's such a cutie pie," he raved. "When Michael C. Hall said 'I want to thank my wife for wearing that dress,' I feel that way every single awards show." Hendricks agreed, telling PEOPLE, "He's been feeling me all night."
Jenna Fischer Will Be a Summer Bride

"We have a venue, food and music so far," she told PEOPLE Saturday at the 2nd Annual Fur Ball at the Skirball Fundraiser benefiting Kitten Rescue. "We're getting married next summer in Los Angeles. We're keeping it small."
The actress, who got engaged to Kirk on June 30 while they were vacationing in Europe, has checked a few items off her to-do list and says she's enjoyed every minute of it.
"We just got our save the date cards in, and they're adorable – after many hours and many proofs later," Fischer says. "We're going to hold them until after the holidays before sending them out so they don't get lost in the holiday mail. They were fun to pick out and [it] was a very fun girlie experience to touch the paper."

Roasted Shallots
- 18 medium shallots (about 1 3/4 pounds), unpeeled
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, toss the shallots with the oil and 1 tablespoon salt; season with pepper. Transfer to a foil-lined baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Bake until the shallot skins are somewhat charred and crispy and the shallots are very tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Using a knife, slice off the tips of the shallots (the end opposite the root end) and discard. Gently squeeze the shallots from their skins and season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Today, the Amarillo Family Physicians Clinic will open for business at its new location, in one of the two new medical office towers next to Northwest Texas Hospital.
Amarillo Family Physicians is the first occupant of the buildings. An opening ceremony is set for 8 a.m. today, and patient visits will start afterward.
The two NWTH office towers are connected to the hospital, but are not owned by the facility. The office building where Amarillo Family Physicians is located was developed by CBLF Partners, and the second building is called the Women's Healthcare Associates Medical Office.
Both towers were bid as a single construction project, but the $10.4 million contract only included the shell of the buildings, not the finished inside offices, said Bob Gleason of the Panhandle of Texas Chapter, Associated General Contractors. Wiley Hicks Jr. contractor was awarded the major construction contract and also is doing much of the inside work, he said.
Amarillo Family Physicians was started in 1978 by four doctors, three of whom - James S. Spurlock, Mark E. Stevens and Chand Bhasker - are still part of the 12-doctor staff, said Amelia Nelson, clinic administrator. In addition to the physicians, the clinic employs 60 people.
Amarillo Family Physicians is on the first two floors of the new office building.

Police Shoot, Kill Woman In Brooklyn
A New York City police detective shot and killed a woman in Brooklyn Thursday as they grappled in her car after it ran through a red light and collided with a minivan, a police spokesman said.
The 23-year-old woman, who wasn't immediately identified, was pronounced dead at Kings County Hospital Center not long after the 5:40 p.m. incident.
She was the fifth person to be shot and killed this year by New York City police, who have averaged 10 fatal shootings annually in recent years.
New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said the woman was behind the wheel of a Toyota Camry that was driving erratically. It caught the attention of two members of the Brooklyn South Narcotics unit, a detective and an officer.
The car went through two red lights in the Flatbush section and crossed the double line in the center of Church Avenue before smashing into the Toyota minivan at East 38th Street, Mr. Browne said.
The detective approached the car on the driver's side, while the officer went to the passenger side, the spokesman said. Both were plain-clothed.
Inside, the woman scrambled to the passenger side as both officers attempted to enter the Camry, the spokesman said.
Mr. Browne said the 44-year-old detective, who has been on the force since 2000, began struggling with the woman over the gear shift, his gun drawn. She was able to put the car in reverse, knocking the 27-year-old officer back out of the car.
The car backed up 18-20 feet, with the detective inside it. The gun fired, hitting the woman once in the chest.
"He has his gun out with one hand, attempting with the other hand to shift the car into park," Mr. Browne said. "She puts it into reverse and guns it, and a single round is discharged, hitting the woman in the chest."
It was unknown if the discharge was accidental or intentional.
The officer was taken to New York Methodist Hospital, the official said.
The driver of the minivan had minor injuries.
The woman had been arrested eight times, including for kidnapping and attempted murder in connection with a May 2011 home invasion, a law-enforcement official said. She was out on $25,000 bail in that case and due in court on Friday, the official said.
The Camry had been stolen at gunpoint on June 5, and its passenger seat had been removed, Mr. Browne said.
He said the woman wasn't carrying identification and police determined her name through fingerprints.
Witnesses described a chaotic scene.
"They shot her and pulled her out of the car. Then she started screaming," said Ayanna Blackman, 38, who watched from her apartment on the same corner.
Witnesses said the woman was covered in blood when she was pulled from the car.
Two elected officials from the area, Assemblyman Nick Perry and Councilmember Jumaane Williams, appeared on the scene and called for an investigation into the shooting.
A crowd gathered in the tense hour after the incident, and shouts of "murderers" were directed at police officials on the scene. But the simmering tension quieted later in the evening.
The shooting comes at a time of heightened public scrutiny of the NYPD's tactics, particularly in some of the city's minority communities.
A narcotics-enforcement officer pleaded not guilty to manslaughter charges Wednesday in the fatal shooting in February of an unarmed African-American teenager in the Bronx. Officer Richard Haste was the first officer to be charged criminally in an on-duty shooting since three officers were indicted in the 2006 death of Sean Bell.
Mr. Haste was indicted in the February death of 18-year-old Ramarley Graham, who was shot at close range in his apartment after he tried to flush a bag of marijuana down the toilet. Police had chased him into his home on the belief that he was carrying a gun, Mr. Haste's defense attorney, Stuart London, said Wednesday.
Recent months also have seen increasing backlash by many African-American and Hispanic New Yorkers against the NYPD's stop-and-frisk policy, including new legal challenges against the tactic. A record 685,000 stops were made in 2011, the majority involving black and Latino men in low-income neighborhoods.

Universities responded to needs of state
Published: Friday, September 1, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 1, 2006 at 1:13 p.m.
As we take note one year later of the double-barreled calamity of hurricanes Katrina and Rita, it is appropriate to remember how these catastrophes ripped our state apart and how they also unified our state.
The impact was massive. Our states colleges and universities suffered a severe blow: Nineteen campuses were damaged, and one-third of the student population was initially displaced by the storms.
Our directly affected campuses fought back mightily. Administrators, faculty and staff -- many of whom had lost their homes and whose families were displaced -- worked day and night to resuscitate their campuses. By March, all but two campuses had reopened. Many different in scope -- all smaller -- but open and functional -- serving their students and assisting their communities.
The nondirectly affected campuses were affected as well. Displaced families moved into dormitories and were fed in cafeterias. Campuses accepted, counseled and made special arrangements to enroll 15,000 displaced students from closed campuses at no costs and no bureaucratic red tape.
Nicholls State University and Louisiana State University served as medical-triage centers for acute-care evacuees. The 800-bed medical facility at LSU was said to be the largest acute-care-field hospital created in U.S. history.
Southern University, Louisiana Tech, Northwestern State, Southeastern, the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Louisiana State University at Shreveport, Grambling State University, University of Louisiana at Monroe, Nicholls and McNeese State sheltered more than 25,000 evacuees in campus facilities for weeks. At these shelters, nursing professors and students tended to the sick and elderly. Education professors and students tutored and read to children. Computer-science students created Web sites and business students helped evacuees navigate Federal Emergency Management Agency paperwork.
Grambling sent buses to bring Xavier University students to its campus. Louisiana Tech housed and shared practice facilities with the Tulane football team. Northwestern hosted a football game for McNeese and the Northwestern State band learned the McNeese fight song.
University lab schools enrolled evacuee children. University farms provided milk and ice cream. Twelve campuses provided land and facilities for housing and staging sites for emergency-response personnel. Community colleges set up training programs and literacy classes for adults and students. Faculty and staff everywhere held hands, hugged, listened, cried and tried to find missing family members. Indeed, Louisianas colleges and universities stood tall when our state needed them most, and I have never been prouder of my association with Louisianas colleges and universities than during these past 11 months.
E. Joseph Savoie,
Louisiana Commissioner of Higher Education, Board of Regents

Hello. My site's Google traffic plummeted when it auto-upgraded to WordPress 3.8.3 on April 15th. No major activities in my site happened that time except for the version update, so I'm assuming it's the primary reason for my site to get de-indexed. My posts totally disappeared from Google search results beginning April 16th, and my traffic hasn't recovered up to this writing.
Is there any way to avoid getting de-indexed by Google when WordPress auto-updates to another version? Thanks. :)

I have cloned a site per the instructions and all seems to be working well except that the menus aren't working. I've checked all the basics - Theme Location setting, resaving Permalinks, to no avail. I've also tried some some basic wp_page_menu arrays to see if I can get any list of pages to appear and its empty everytime.
I'm stumped. Any ideas?

In one form or another, it has been demonstrating its advantages on experimental plots and in isolated field trials for many years. It is a practice that furthers the highest crop and livestock production compatible with the principle of soil security. It is a simple but effective method that will help us to avoid in the present emergency the disastrous aftermaths of the plow-up program of the 1920's. Materials for mulching are at hand -- products of the land itself -- waiting to be used for the retention of crop-making moisture and soil. Equipment can be bought on the market, or it can be rigged up by the farmer himself. Stubble-mulch farming can be fitted into a general conservation system -- applied to grain fields, row-crop land, and strip-croppered areas. It is flexible and economical, requires less mule power or machine power." -- p. ii

Strip Cropping for War Production
Date: 1943
Creator: Tower, Harold E. & Gardner, Harry H.
Description: "In the nation's effort to produce adequate quantities of all agricultural products to meet the war needs of the United Nations, conservation assumes added importance. Advancements in the management of croplands to conserve soil and moisture, which have come about in recent years as a result of experimentation and the experiences of many farmers, show that conservation increases crop yields. Strip cropping is one of the conservation practices. In its various forms and patterns, it is applicable to a large area of the United States. With the farmer rests the major responsibility of obtaining conservation on the land. Each farmer should examine for himself the need of strip cropping his cultivated land and in doing so should find the information contained in this bulletin helpful. The kinds of strip cropping, the factors influencing their use, methods of application, value in conserving soil and moisture, and the adaptation of strip cropping to the northeastern and north-central, the southeastern and western Gulf, the Great Plains, and the far Western States are discussed." -- p. ii

Small Irrigation Pumping Plants
Date: 1940
Creator: Rohwer, Carl & Lewis, M. R. (Mortimer Reed), 1886-
Description: "Throughout the United States are many farms, parts or all of which could be irrigated by pumping from either ponds or streams or farm wells. This bulletin is intended to furnish owners or operators of such farms with information that will give them some indication of initial and operating costs and enable them to determine whether soil and water suitable for irrigation are available and what kind of irrigation plant and equipment will be most satisfactory for their purpose. Having examined these factors, a farmer can decide whether irrigation is likely to be profitable on his farm." -- p. i

I have faced this issue when My computers just restart when ever I connect a specific memory card, USB drive or any other portable device. This is quite a serious problem which is on the other hand simple to fix if this is happening due to corrupted data on your USB Storage Device. please give my solution, If no way to handle this problem, I wanna reinstall my windows xp.
I have a simple solution, try this; In order to fix a removable drive if the data on the drive, you can run scandisk in windows by right clicking the drive icon in my computer, go to right click on pen drive and select properties, now click the tab tools and run a check disk on your pen drive. you just need to click on check now to start disk checking and repair any errors caused due to corrupted data on your pen drive. try this, maybe this can help your problem
Its really hard to tell with the information thats there to work out what exactly is the issue. There's two avenues that you can follow if this is an OS related issue.
Follow the blue screens - Turning off rebooting on failure is what's usually suggested, but you can get a good idea of what caused a bluescreen of death with nirsoft's bluescreenview - which lets you look at bluescreen information, or resplendence software's whocrashed. If its a windows issue, this should tell you what's the driver causing it. Uninstall, and replace off windows driver service or a known good copy
The other thing i'd consider, though unlikely is a hardware fault. If the computer reboots from specific sorts of usb ports, independant of os (so, give linux a shot if the blue screens yield nothing), then there may be a short or other issue somewhere.
I've seen windows systems freezing due to a failing hard drive on an ipod as well, but without more information on what's failing, its hard to tell.

A Short 15 Minute Workout
A sudden meeting pops up and ruins the next day's schedule. An early morning flight could mean an even earlier gym workout. Do you really have to get to the gym at 6? You need to, you think, since you won't be able to workout for the next few days. You'll even miss your Monday evening tennis game and the Wednesday morning yoga class. But 6 am? That's un-earthly... For those of us who love being active, there are dozens of daily circumstances that get in the way of the perfect workout schedule. Enter the 15 minute workout.
A 15-minute workout routine should be easy to do, shouldn't take much equipment, should be flexible in terms of space and should work the core as well as the upper and lower body. It's a program you can do at home when you're short on time, when you're on the road and don't have the time or opportunity to hit the gym or go for an outdoor workout. I'm not saying that the 15-minute routine should replace your regular workout, but it can be a solid, full body program that you can rely on in a pinch.
Think "boot camp calisthenics" with short, intense segments of 30 seconds to 1 minute with at least 10 seconds rest between exercises. Here's a simple option.
Pushups Lie down on your stomach. Now with your palms and toes touching the floor, push up. Then with your toes firmly on the floor, bring your upper body as close to the floor as possible and push up again, fast. Complete as many pushups as you can in 30-60 seconds.
Free squats Assume a comfortable stance with your legs slightly wider than shoulder width and your toes pointing out slightly. Now push your hips back and keeping your back straight, sit down as if you are sitting on a chair. The aim is to get your hips and thighs at a 90-degree angle. Make sure your knees do not protrude beyond your feet or you're not doing it right. Now stand up using your heels to push up and squat down again. Do as many as you can for 30 to 60 seconds
Handstands Put your hands on the floor and your feet on the wall. Now walk your feet up and down the wall. Do as many as you can for 30 to 60 seconds
Burpees From a standing position squat down, drop your hands to the ground and jump your feet back to assume a push-up position. Do a push-up. Jump your legs forward to between your hands then jump up into the air and land back into the squat. Do as many as you can for 30 to 60 seconds.
High-knees or high- step run Stand in a spot and bring your knees to the chest fast. It's a combination of running on the spot and bringing your knees high. Do this for 30 to 60 seconds. video
Inchworm Beginning in standard push-up position, walk your feet toward your hands and then back again to initial position. Do as many as you can for 30 to 60 seconds.
Repeat this 15 minute workout as often as you can in 15 minutes. The sky's the limit. You can always make up new exercises to challenge yourself as you go along. The point is, anything you do intensely for 15 minutes works to maintain fitness and now you have no excuses for not working out.

|"The Ferryman" #1 on sale now
Itâs not everyday someone gets offered the keys to one movie producer Joel Silverâs cars, but comics writer Marc Andreyko currently finds himself behind the wheel of âThe Ferryman,â a Joel Silver creation made for comics. Silver, the producer of such action blockbusters as âLethal Weapon,â âDie Hardâ and âThe Matrix,â has given Andreyko something that is shiny and fast, and with the help of new comics artist Jonathon Wayshak, Andreyko plans to break a few laws.
âIf people give âThe Ferrymanâ a try, theyâll love it,â Andreyko said from his home in Los Angeles. âIt has that Joel Silver feel to it -- theyâll see how that translates to comics. Iâm exceedingly proud of this series.â
âThe Ferrymanâ is a five-issue miniseries from Wildstorm about a former homicide detective (now dead) who makes a deal with the devil. That homicide detective becomes a âFerryman,â or a modern-day Charon, the same man who ferried dead souls across the River Styx in Greek mythology.
âJoel Silver has always been fascinated with Charon,â Andreyko explained. âHe wanted to do a spin on what that character would be like today. We settled on this story.â
Silver and Andreykoâs Charon is Gideon Thorne, a 1970s homicide detective who works tirelessly hunting âThe Bleeder,â a serial killer. After Gideon is shot and killed, he makes a deal with the devil so he can come back and seek revenge on The Bleeder, who has also killed Gideonâs wife. As normally happens, there is more to the deal than what was originally thought, and Gideon finds himself with one more assignment from the devil â to ferry in someone known as âThe Outcast.â
âGideon knows next to nothing about The Outcast, except that heâs almost a legend, like the Loch Ness Monster,â Andreyko said. âI think the reveal of The Outcast will really shake things up. It will make people say, âThat was unexpected.ââ
|Pages from "The Ferryman" #1
Issues #1 and #2 of âThe Ferrymanâ were both released in October; issue #3 is in stores now.
âIâd classify it as âDie Hardâ meets âDevilâs Advocate,â Andreyko said of the project. âItâs a big-budget movie with supernatural overtones. If you liked âWantedâ or âDie Hardâ â itâs like the big summer movies. There are no deep moral truths hidden here.â
Andreyko had the good fortune of being paired up with Silver through Erik Olsen, vice president of Dark Castle Entertainment (âGothika,â âRocknRollaâ). Olsen knows Andreykoâs manager -- the two got to talking and then Andreyko was asked to pitch an idea based on the outline Silver provided.
âWhen I heard the initial germ of an idea, I thought there was something there. It remains to be seen if Iâm the right person to expound upon it,â Andreyko laughed. âBut the project has been fairly speed-bump free. When you consider a licensed comic could be a nightmare, this book has been a dream. The notes sessions, the brainstorming sessions have been awesome, we make serious progress.â
Andreykoâs face-to-face dealings with Silver have been limited, but Silver does read the scripts for final approval. âHis multi-million dollar movies take precedent, obviously,â the writer said. âI met him [at Comic-Con International in San Diego], we did a panel together. To have him say to me, âItâs a pleasure to work with you,â (I think to myself) âNo, itâs not!â I mean, Iâm nobody! This is Joel Silver. Thereâs certainly a âwowâ factor for me.â
|Pages from "The Ferryman" #1
Marc Andreyko has also been wowed by the artwork of Jonathon Wayshak, a newcomer to the comic book industry. Discovered by Wildstorm editor Scott Peterson, Wayshak comes to the medium via the advertising world.
â[When I first saw Wayshakâs art], I thought they found a really interesting choice, but could he do sequential art?â Andreyko explained. âWhen I saw what he could do, I was impressed. Heâs the love child of Sam Kieth ("The Maxx") and Ralph Steadman ("Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas).â
Indeed, Andreyko believes itâs just a matter of time before Wayshak is a very big name in the industry. âThere are touches he brings to the book that I wish I could take credit for,â the writer confessed. âFor example, the â70s flashback scenes, he put in these tabs like from an old 1970s photo album. He takes the story and runs with it. He brings in a lot of details without making things fussy. Heâs energetic. I met him in San Diego and we got along famously.â
Though Andreykoâs critically lauded series âManhunterâ was recently cancelled, he knows heâs fortunate to be working with such a name as Joel Silver. âSilver has so much diversitymâ he said. âHeâs known as the action guy, though. Heâs responsible for two of the most influential action movies of all time, âLethal Weaponâ and âDie Hard,â
But Silverâs best movie ever? Thatâs a tough choice for Andreyko. âI thought âV for Vendettaâ was a great adaption. And âSpeed Racer,â I think in ten years from now, people will get it,â Andreyko remarked. âIf I had to choose my two favorites, though, Iâd say âThe Hudsucker Proxyâ and âDie Hard.â Check out âThe Hudsucker Proxyâ â itâs an undiscovered gem. And thatâs a weird combination, I know, thatâs like saying I like onions on my peanut butter and jelly sandwich.â

from Doing What I Do: An Interview With Elmore Leonard by Anthony May (Contrappasso #2, December 2012)
Dates: 1st-3rd July, 1991
Location: Elmore Leonard's home in Birmingham, Michigan. The interview took place in Leonard's study across his writing desk.
MAY: We were talking earlier about the time before you started working with Gregg Sutter, and the research that you used to do for yourself. Were there any sorts of reference books that were useful or was that done from more contingent sources, like you said about picking up material off MTV? Did you have any books that you would go to like crime reports or things like that? Did they help?

Michael is taking a break from the blog for 10 days. He remains, he says, "very grateful to the readers and especially to the commenters who have offered so much great thought, information, skepticism, and humor." He hopes to be back a week from Wednesday, provided he does not lose his way, and until then is reposting some of the posts other readers have found useful. — Emilia Charcuterie at Home: Beef Jerky Originally posted March 2, 2009 Among the most easy and satisfying preservation techniques is beef jerky: cut strips of lean beef (the less expensive the cut, the better), salt and season them, let them cure for a day in the fridge, then spread them out on a rack to dry.

Two weeks ago, sparked by Dianne Jacobs's question about what defines a successful cookbook, I wrote this post So You Want to Write a Cookbook. But the questions raised intrigued me so much that I reached out to two editors I currently work with and respect, asking them specifically, what books that didn't sell well or make money do you consider to be successful and why. Maria Guarnaschelli responded at length and reached well beyond the question (if her name sounds familiar to you, it may owe to the fact that her daughter Alex, is the chef at NYC's Butter and a Food Network regular). Her thoughts and decision-making process are a must-read for anyone writing cookbooks, and certainly for anyone who wants to. The following—as well Lorena Jones's comments, which follow Maria's—were conducted via email: What Read On »
In honor of this month's #charcutepalooza challenge over at Mrs. Wheelbarrow, I'm reposting this soppressata recipe from a couple years back. Wishing all who take up the challenge well. Happy curing! While David Lebovitz considers molecular gastronomy and The Alinea Cookbook in a long and thoughtful post today (he approaches with great skepticism, as he's a traditionalist at heart, and leaves with appreciation having come back round to where he'd begun but by a whole new route), I would like to consider some of the oldest molecular gastronomical magic known to man. Combining ground pork and salt and seasonings, introducing to it some microscopic creatures, and waiting for it to dry a little, to achieve a tangy flavorful sausage that has never gone above room temperature. In December, a few of us went in on a pig. One of the Read On »

During a recent phone call with the excellent Elise of simplyrecipes, Elise wished aloud that I would address the nitrite issue directly. "Trader Joe's carries it! Go look. Is there one near you?" Indeed there is, and indeed they sell at least two products pitching themselves as a "healthier" bacon because they don't add sodium nitrite. This is as odious as those sugar laden granola bars trumpeting "No Fat!" on their label—food marketers preying on a confused consumer who has been taught to fear food because of harmful additives (such as the recent, apparently genuine, Red Dye 40 warnings). Full disclosure if you don't already know: I am a vocal bacon advocate, and one of my books, Charcuterie, relies on sodium nitrite and sodium nitrate for many of its recipes to cure foods such as Read On »

Hello ladies, I have a question in regards to the ovulation kit.
My doctor is having me take clomid and I am unsure of when I am supposed to start the ov kit. I normally start it on cd6 but with taking the medication I am unsure. Should I jsut give them a call or wait for my ultrasound appointment on Monday?
Thank you for hearing me out. As you can see this is my first time trying to get pregnant with medication. I had already done 2 without and they were not successful. I am hoping and praying for the best.

Animals that live at high elevations are often assumed to be at risk for extinction as habitats warm and change. But a new study led by Colorado State University researchers found that ptarmigan, which live in cold ecosystems, are not strongly affected by fluctuations in seasonal weather at two populations studied in Colorado. The results, published July 15 in the journal PLOS ONE, are surprising, given the general perception of alpine animal populations as vulnerable to recent climate warming, study authors said. Ptarmigan are grouse that live in cold ecosystems, such as alpine and tundra habitats, said Greg Wann, PhD candidate in CSU's Graduate Degree Program in Ecology and a member of the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory. Wann and study co-authors, including CSU Associate Professor Cameron Aldridge, analyzed 45 years of reproductive data for two Colorado populations of white-tailed ptarmigan. The team did not track seasonal temperatures, but noted warming at study sites during the spring and summer based on data from Niwot Ridge Long Term Ecological Research.
The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) is pleased to announce the designation of 21 Programs of Research & Scholarly Excellence (PRSE) for fiscal years 2017-2020. "These PRSEs were selected because they have achieved great distinction and set a standard for excellence in research, teaching and service both internally and externally. This designation provides enhanced visibility and enables advocacy in the context of the larger research and training missions of CSU," said Alan Rudolph, vice president for research. Winning programs will be appointed a graduate fellow annually to increase research capabilities and provide hands-on learning experience for graduate students. "The Graduate School is extremely pleased to provide an annual graduate fellowship to each program. Graduate research will bolster the momentum of these innovative programs while the fellows themselves will benefit from an experience that advances their ability to create pioneering research," said Jodie Hanzlik, dean of the Graduate School. Renewed PRSE programs include the Graduate Degree Program in Ecology (GDPE).
The summer solstice is upon us and plants are happily soaking up the maximum amount of sunlight on the longest day of the year. Inside the Colorado State University Horticulture Center, however, plants don't know the difference between the summer solstice and the winter solstice - especially the hops. A collaborative partnership with Philips Lighting allows Bill Bauerle, professor of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture at CSU, to produce and harvest hops five times a year - something unique in the United States. "This is the only location in the United States that is able to produce the product five times a year," said Bauerle. CSU's Horticulture Center is one of the only growing facilities in the country using the specialized Philips Horticulture LED Solutions lighting, which supports a much quicker growing cycle. "I had the idea to grow hops in our new facility," said Bauerle. "The timing was right because the new Horticulture Center provided a high-class facility to work in."[Archive]

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
GE Healthcare said today it will provide sequencing services to a research group at Karolinska Institutet, in the company's first large-scale sequencing agreement in Europe. The value of the services was not disclosed.
The first clinical study to use GE Healthcare sequencing technology will focus on identifying mutations and genetic variants associated with metastatic breast cancer, the company said. The large, cohort study will be conducted using tissue samples provided by Karolinska Institutet and analyzed using GE Healthcare's next generation sequencing (NGS) capabilities.
"While antibody-based analysis of biomarkers are the cornerstone to diagnosing breast cancer, uncovering the broader molecular landscape of complex cancers using genome-wide screening tools such as NGS, will be critical to the future of therapeutic decision making and new therapeutic development," Ger Brophy, GE Healthcare's CTO, Life Sciences, said in a statement.
GE Healthcare said its agreement with Karolinska Institutet was part of the company's commitment, announced in September 2011, to spend $1 billion of its total R&D budget over the following five years toward expanding its advanced cancer diagnostic and molecular imaging capabilities, as well as toward its technologies for biopharmaceutical manufacturing and cancer research.
The commitment came a year after GE Healthcare expanded into molecular diagnostics, through its 2010 acquisition of Clarient Diagnostic Services, whose services and diagnostic technologies were focused on cancer assessment and characterization. Last year, GE Healthcare acquired SeqWright, a provider of nucleic acid sequencing and other genomic services, with the goal of boosting Clarient's genomics capabilities.
Also in 2012, GE Healthcare Life Sciences and Karolinska University Hospital launched a collaboration to develop technologies and workflows to apply cell therapies routinely in a clinical setting. The partnership's goal is to address the need for reproducible technologies in areas such as cell growth, handling, processing, and analysis, as well as protocols and workflows for manufacturing and quality control.
In the latest agreement, GE Healthcare will provide the services through a subsidiary specializing in nucleic acid sequencing and other genomic services, SeqWright Genomic Services.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?
