Article: Alterations of prodynorphin gene expression in the rat mesocorticolimbic system during heroin self-administration[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Opiate-induced alterations in the gene expression of the opioid propeptides prodynorphin (PDYN) and proenkephalin (PENK) in the brain have previously been described. However, there are no studies examining opioid propeptide system alterations due to long-lasting heroin self-administration. In our study, using in situ hybridization, we measured PDYN and PENK mRNA levels in the dorsal striatum, central nucleus of amygdala (CEA), and nucleus accumbens (NAcc) shell and core in rats after 6 weeks of heroin self-administration (fixed ratio 5, 0.02 mg/kg/infusion of heroin i.v.) and their respective saline or heroin "yoked" control. Our results show an increase in the PDYN mRNA level in the CEA and NAcc shell and no changes of PENK gene expression after heroin self-administration. In addition, to dissociate pharmacological effects of heroin from those produced by motivational processes driving active heroin intake on the PDYN and PENK gene expression, we compared effects of response-dependent (contingent) and response-independent (noncontingent--"yoked" heroin control) heroin administration. We found no differences between contingent and noncontingent groups of rats. In conclusion, our results indicate neuroadaptations in the PDYN but not PENK gene expression in rat limbic forebrain during heroin self-administration. We show that such changes depend on direct pharmacological actions of heroin rather than contingent heroin intake. These neuroalterations probably occur as an adaptation to long-lasting heroin exposure and may underlie changes leading to compulsive drug use and addiction.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The immediate early genes (IEGs) have been suggested to be implicated in mechanisms of addiction, as well as in learning and memory processes. fosB, which belongs to IEG, has been reported to have pleiotropic impact on response to psychoactive drugs, as well as motivational and stress-related behaviours. In the present study, we used mice with constitutive knock-out of fosB in order to study fosB role in mouse phenotype. We studied rewarding properties of morphine (10mg/kg i.p.) in conditioned place preference (CPP) paradigm. Additionally, we studied fosB role in spatial memory and spatial working memory using elevated plus maze model of spatial learning (EPMSL) and delayed non-match to place task (DNMTP). In further studies, locomotor, depressive-like and anxiety-like behaviours were measured. Rewarding effects of morphine in fosB -/- mice were abolished whereas spatial learning was impaired. On the other hand, we found no significant differences in locomotor activity, depression-like and anxiety-like behaviours. In summary, our results indicate that mice lacking fosB are less sensitive to rewarding properties of morphine and display spatial memory impairment and suggest involvement of fosB and its proteins in motivational aspects of reinforcers as well as in learning and memory processes.
Article: α-Synuclein expression in the brain and blood during abstinence from chronic alcohol drinking in mice[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: alpha-Synuclein is a presynaptic protein proposed to serve as a negative regulator of dopaminergic neurotransmission. Recent research has implicated alpha-synuclein in chronic neuroadaptations produced by psychostimulant and opiate use, as well as in genetically determined susceptibility to alcoholism in humans. The aim of our study was to characterize the changes in alpha-synuclein expression after short-term abstinence from chronic alcohol drinking in mice. Male C57BL/6J mice were allowed to drink increasing concentrations of alcohol in the two-bottle choice procedure. Then the mice were given constant access to an 8% alcohol solution and water for 32 days, and were sacrificed 2 h, 24 h or 48 h after alcohol withdrawal. RT-PCR, in situ hybridization and Western blotting techniques were used to measure alpha-synuclein mRNA and protein levels in the brain and blood. alpha-Synuclein protein levels were elevated by up to 80% in the amygdala of mice withdrawn from alcohol for 24 h or 48 h. No changes in alpha-synuclein levels were found in the mesencephalon or striatum/accumbens. The levels of alpha-synuclein mRNA remained unchanged in all brain regions examined (the striatum, nucleus accumbens, amygdala, substantia nigra, ventral tegmental area). alpha-Synuclein mRNA was up-regulated in the whole blood 48 h after alcohol withdrawal. The accumulation of alpha-synuclein in the amygdala, observed in this study, seems to be a common feature of alcohol and opiate abstinence. This finding suggests a role of alpha-synuclein in common neuroadaptations produced by long-term alcohol and drug use. Although alpha-synuclein expression in the blood seems unrelated to that in the brain, it may serve as a peripheral biomarker of chronic alcohol consumption.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The proteins of Fos family are a potential candidate to link molecular mechanisms of morphine action with behavioural effects such as morphine-induced reward, dependence and tolerance. We used both male and female mice lacking fosB gene to study its contribution to morphine effects. Morphine analgesia (tail-flick test) and hypothermia were studied using morphine at cumulative doses in morphine-naive and morphine-tolerant (tolerance induced by 24 h prior 100 mg/kg morphine administration) mice. FosB -/- mice, as compared to fosB +/+ mice, developed enhanced tolerance to morphine-induced analgesia. No effects of genotype or gender on tolerance to morphine-induced hypothermia were observed. These results suggest that fosB may be involved in the development of tolerance to morphine analgesia but not hypothermia. The gender study implicates that lack of FosB proteins in female fosB -/- mice enhanced morphine analgesic potency. In conclusion, we show that fosB gene is important to analgesia but not hypothermia phenotype indicating its role in morphine effects.
Article: Role of opioidergic mechanisms and GABA uptake inhibition in the heroin-induced discriminative stimulus effects in rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The present study was designed to investigate the involvement of opioidergic component as well as to study GABAergic mechanisms in the expression of heroin discrimination. Male Wistar rats were trained to discriminate heroin (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.) from saline (i.p.) in a two-choice water reinforced fixed ratio (FR) 20 drug discrimination paradigm. In substitution tests, heroin (0.0625-0.5 mg/kg) and morphine (0.5-2 mg/kg, i.p.) evoked a dose-dependent generalization for the drug lever-responding, while muscimol (1 mg/kg, i.p., a GABA(A) receptor agonist) produced a weak partial substitution (ca. 48% heroin-lever responding). Neither tiagabine (2.5 mg/kg, i.p.; a GABA reuptake inhibitor), vigabatrin (75-150 mg/kg, i.p.; an irreversible inhibitor of GABA transaminase), nor baclofen (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.; a GABA(B) receptor agonist) substituted for heroin. In combination studies, the stimulus effects produced by heroin (0.5 mg/kg) or morphine (2 mg/kg) were dose-dependently blocked by opioid receptor antagonists naltrexone (0.1-1 mg/kg, i.p.), and naloxone (0.5-1 mg/kg, i.p.). The peripherally-acting naloxone methiodide at a dose of 1 mg/kg, i.p. did not alter, while at a dose of 10 mg/kg that penetrates across the blood-brain barrier, it reduced the stimulus effects of heroin or morphine. Pretreatment with tiagabine (2.5-5 mg/kg) produced a rightward shift of a heroin dose-response curve, while vigabatrin (75-300 mg/kg), baclofen (0.5-2.5 mg/kg) or muscimol (0.5-2 mg/kg) given prior to heroin (0.0625-0.5 mg/kg) failed to alter heroin discrimination. Our findings confirm previous studies on the significance of mu-opioidergic mechanisms in the expression of heroin discrimination and add the observation that selective inhibition of GABA reuptake, but not inhibition of GABA transaminase or direct stimulation of GABA(A) and GABA(B) receptors, can decrease the overall effects of heroin.

It's way too early to pass judgment on Kentucky's new governor, Matt Bevin, as he's barely three months into his first term.
His hokey, ill-conceived and condescending social posting several weeks ago, left a bad taste in most people's mouths, Democrat and Republican, alike.
Let's set the stage. He had released his first biennium budget proposal as governor. He knew that it would rankle the democrats in the democratic-controlled House of Representatives as it did what he promised, slashed state spending.

To the editor:
I was disappointed in the decision of the magistrates of Harrison County to approve the needle-exchange program. I was pleased to see that two of the eight represented me and many others who oppose this measure. I was surprised that it passed at all. Bourbon County considered it, and they nixed it.
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher
I would like to take a moment to thank the citizens of Cynthiana for all the support I have received during my first year as mayor.
The journey to improve and grow Cynthiana seems like a thousand mile journey with many ups and downs along the way. I'm so proud of our current commission for stepping up and tackling some big problems.
As the General Assembly wraps up much of its work early this week, the biggest item on the agenda is passing a budget to run state government for the next two years.
House and Senate leaders sat down last Thursday to begin working on a compromise, coming to the table with broad agreement in some areas and some significant differences in others.
Overall, the chambers' two budget proposals follow Gov. Bevin's plan to scale back government and put that money toward the long-term liability facing our retirement systems for state employees and teachers.
It's been just over a year since Karey Riddell's son, Wesley, made it his mission to light up the stately white building in downtown Cynthiana with blue lights.
His family was in the process of relocating to Cynthiana after living briefly in Frankfort. Karey and Noel Riddell made it their mission also.
And while Wesley, Karey and Noel were carrying the figurative blue torch, many other Cynthiana people joined the parade to bring awareness to autism.
Wesley was diagnosed with autism at a young age.

Liver Transplant (cont.)
Liver Transplantation Outlook
The 1-year survival rate after liver transplantation is about 90% for patients living at home and about 60% for those who are critically ill at the time of the surgery. At 5 years, the survival rate is about 80%. Survival rates are improving with the use of better immunosuppressive medications and more experience with the procedure. The patient's willingness to stick to the recommended posttransplantation plan is essential to a good outcome.
Generally, anyone who develops a fever within a year of receiving a liver transplant is admitted to the hospital. Patients who cannot take their immunosuppressive medicines because they are vomiting should also be admitted. Patients who develop a fever more than a year after receiving a liver transplant and who are no longer on high levels of immunosuppression may be considered for management as an outpatient on an individual basis.
Complications are problems that may arise after liver transplantation. Many should be recognizable by the patient, who should call the transplantation team to inform them of the changes.
Possible complications after liver transplantation:

The diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) can be difficult and is often delayed until the disease has progressed. PH cannot be diagnosed non-invasively.
An ultrasound of the heart, or echocardiogram, can provide an estimate of the pressure in the heart.
Only a procedure called a right heart catheterization (RHC) can directly measure blood pressure in the lungs and determine if PH is present. RHC can also be used to determine if PH is responsive to intravenous vasodilator medication, which in turn determines whether or not an individual is a candidate for chronic medication treatment.
Other tests are performed to screen for associated diseases, including blood tests, EKG, chest X-ray, pulmonary function testing, and a test for lung blood clots called a ventilation/perfusion scan (V/Q scan). A 6 minute walk time is typically performed to assess an individual's exercise capacity.

black flag
why was massa black flaged and alonso only got a ten second stop. isn't that a bit one sided?? also why did they blame Jarno Trulli for Roberts crash?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

They were two different offenses. Alonso entered the pit lane whilst it was closed. Massa and Fisichella exited the pit lane whilst the exit was closed and controlled by a red light. The ignoring of a light signal is the same as ignoring a flag signal and is a basic rule of all motorsport. For once the FIA Stewards acted quickly and correctly in regarding this serious offence committed by two very experianced race car drivers.

ok question for equality
when a backmarker ignores 3 blue flags this can destroy a drivers race, but he will only be penalised with a 10 second penalty
massa and fisi ignored a red light and got black flagged. should by your theory every backmarker ignoring blue flags be black flagged?
discuss please
Alonso HAD to go into the pit lane for fuel or be a hazard on the track. This is "allowed" with a 10 second stop/go penalty.
On the other hand Mass left the pit lane when the exit was closed for safety reasons (the safety car being in the vicinity or about to pass the exit).
It is all in the rules, and not some arbitary decision by the local officials.

Chicken of the VNC

Simply the best of the breed.
Definitely great but would be truly brilliant if it was capable of file transfers with UltraVNC servers (et al?).
Fantastic little app.
Does what it says on the tin and is free to boot.
This is a great little app, but it desparatly needs ssh support, like the -via option on linux.

In my last post I showed you the cover I made for my sewing machine. I said it was quick and easy and so it proved to be. I made this cover for my Brother 4000. My Brother is a big machine but the pattern worked just as well as it had the first time.
I had a great time at the Stitch and Craft Show at Olympia. I was quite anxious about my workshop which I did twice (Thursday and Friday) and I wanted to make sure the participants had a good time. I think it went quite well and all the girls seemed to both enjoy the workshop and were pleased with their pouches.
monk's costume workshop I did in Cirencester with the school kids? They were keen and confident about their sewing and I'm sure that is due to the changes in educational techniques. I hope your school sewing experience was uplifting!
Here's a really cute bag (or purse) that's on a half circle kiss lock frame. The fabric is Daisy Chain by Amy Butler for Rowan Fabrics and the lining is Little Apples by Ameela Hoey for Moda.
here and the bag is for Sew Hip Magazine.
Next post I will be doing a great giveaway so stay tuned.

I'm trying to develop a theme that makes intensive use of custom post types, meta boxes and custom fields. Some meta boxes have one single field, some other should have several.
Custom post types and taxonomies created for them are working fine. What does not work is having meta fields saved/updated in meta boxes that have more than one custom field in it.
After having created custom post types and taxonomies, I've added a few meta boxes:
There are actually many many more, but above it's just a sample of two metaboxes, "product_slogan" will have only one meta field while "product_facts" will have at least 8 custom fields.
this is product_slogan:
and this is product_facts - inside product facts there are 8 custom fields (productfact1, productfact2...)
at last, I want to save all the meta boxes for the custom post type "product", that should include "product_slogan" and "product_facts", and their contents - I added a hidden nonce input as well, and this is the code I used to save custom meta boxes / fields:
my problem is that meta boxes like "product_slogan" that contain only one custom field ("product_slogan" itself) get saved or updated when I save the post, while meta boxes that contain multiple custom fields like "product_facts" do not get saved/updated. I have the same issues with other custom post types or meta boxes in the same page. I think I'm doing something wrong with meta boxes containing multiple fields. How do I solve this?
Any help is really appreciated!

An eclectic area
Ko Samui is so big, we've split it up into areas, select one of the below for detailed accommodation and food listings in that area. Sights and general overviews for Ko Samui as a whole can be found via the icons above. Don't know where to start? Read an overview of Ko Samui's different areas.
Big Buddha Beach (officially referred to as Bang Rak) is located on the northern coast of Samui, with Bophut to its west and Plai Laem, over the headland, to its east. The beach area of Bang Rak is known as Big Buddha Beach because of the huge golden statue beyond the far eastern end of the beach, just before Plai Laem.
This area has a large expat community, with many housing developments along the coast as well as inland off the main road. Several private villas are dotted along the beach as well as on the hilly area just before the Big Buddha. Accommodation on Big Buddha Beach is diverse, from five-star establishments such as The Scent through to small nondescript bungalow operations.
The main road runs alongside the beach with resorts lining the coastal side of the road, and bars, restaurants, shops and general businesses on the other. The area is known for its sports bars -- think The Office, The Boardroom and Tuk-Tuk Bar -- where locals, expats and tourists gather to watch events on big screens over a local beer. Although there are several hostess bars along this stretch, they are not as prominent or sleazy as in areas of Lamai or Chaweng. Restaurant choices are plentiful, both streetside and indoor.
Driving along the road, visitors are often caught off-guard when low flying planes about to land pass just metres above their cars; the runway for Ko Samui International Airport is set back behind the beach and air traffic noise can be a problem for some, but it's not too bad. The first planes go over at 06:00, and the last at 22:00. Those looking for peace with far less noise pollution whatsoever may prefer the neighbouring areas of Plai Laem or Choeng Mon.
Along the western section of Bang Rak beach, the sea can retreat considerably at low tide at certain times of the year, creating mud flats. Locals harvest shellfish early in the morning at low tide, and fishermen wade out to a large sand bank to fish. It is not uncommon to see water buffalo being walked along the beach, or even taking a cooling dip in the sea.
The beach itself has several piers -- including Big Buddha, Petcherat and Bang Rak -- used by ferries and speedboats taking passengers to and from Ko Pha Ngan. Several luxury vessels as well as local fishing boats moor in the area, making for an interesting view.
Big Buddha beach is located on Route 4171, a prominent loop road that joins the 4169 main Ring Road at the Bophut traffic lights. Taxis and songthaews do frequent this area, although perhaps not as much as on the main route. Jeep and scooter rentals are abundant, as are motorbike taxis.

changed the way i think about food
As someone who was on a low-fat, near-vegetarian diet in the 90s and probably suffered a long list of health problems because of it (low blood sugar, PMS, menstrual cramps, endometriosis, weight gain), this book was quite an eye-opener when I read it three years ago. I cautiously started adding scary things (to me) like raw milk and more red meat to my diet, and eliminating soy milk and fake soy meats, "foods" that made up a majority of my diet until then. It's been a gradual change, but now I have virtually eliminated the problems I used to think were just normal.

Twenty First Century Tag Sale: Tech & Tips
3. Announce Your Sale
Of course, the traditional signs help, but a Craigslist post will draw those from further away than just putting up signs. Be sure to do a specific listing of what you've got in case someone is searching for a particular item. We find a week or so beforehand is plenty of notice for bargain hunters, who even plot these sales on google maps.
5. Donate/Destroy
That junky table nobody wanted would probably at least help at a Goodwill or ReStore, but your dirty, holey underwear isn't helping anybody. This is is the time to bust out your inventory, add up what you made, see what you have left and decide what goes where. Ideally it'll all be donated, recycled or otherwise gone when you're done.

"Jim Barry purchased the Lodge Hill vineyard in 1977, as he was sure it would "produce some of the best Riesling in Clare." Situated on the eastern ranges of the township of Clare, it is one of the highest vineyards in the Valley at an altitude of 480 metres, and is ideal for producing steely, minerally Rieslings, distinctive to the area"
Original 16

"Great Western Brewing Company, from Saskatoon, Canada, enlisted St. Bernadine to develop a new, premium Canadian Pale Ale for the domestic market. The brewery was founded in 1989 by 16 employees, who fought to save their jobs when a merger between Carling and Molson threatened to close the plant. They bought the brewery, and went on to win many international awards for their beer. Over twenty years later, this new beer is a tribute to the original 16 founders of Great Western Brewing Company, and the spirit, passion and dedication they have brought to brewing the best beer possible.
Premium cues include refined typography, ample white space, and silver metallics with gold accents. Initial market reception is extremely favourable."
The Scarlet Letter

Designed by Parallax Design | Country: Australia
"All technology is eventually appropriated for the most basic of human needs—love, lust and sin. The invention of the postal service was no different. How many couplings found their start, and end, via an impassioned letter? Named in part after this phenomenon and Nathaniel Hawthorne's magnum opus of the same name, The Scarlet Letter is a hedonistic sparkling version of Padthaway Shiraz."

"In 1824, aged nine, Bleasdale founder Frank Potts joined the British Royal Navy as one of its dutiful powder monkeys. So named for their agility, speed & playfulness, these young boys relayed gunpowder between magazines and gun decks during battle. The Powder Monkey honours Frank and his journeys."

Packed Provisional and Permanent DesignationsThis document describes the packed forms for provisional and permanent designations.
Provisional DesignationsThe provisional designation stored on the orbit and observations is stored in a 7-character packed format that saves space and makes sorting easier.
Minor PlanetsA description of the format of provisional designations is available.
The first two digits of the year are packed into a single character in column 1 (I = 18, J = 19, K = 20). Columns 2-3 contain the last two digits of the year. Column 4 contains the half-month letter and column 7 contains the second letter. The cycle count (the number of times that the second letter has cycled through the alphabet) is coded in columns 5-6, using a letter in column 5 when the cycle count is larger than 99. The uppercase letters are used, followed by the lowercase letters.
Where possible, the cycle count should be displayed as a subscript when the designation is written out in unpacked format.
Examples: J95X00A = 1995 XA J95X01L = 1995 XL1 J95F13B = 1995 FB13 J98SA8Q = 1998 SQ108 J98SC7V = 1998 SV127 J98SG2S = 1998 SS162 K99AJ3Z = 2099 AZ193 K08Aa0A = 2008 AA360 K07Tf8A = 2007 TA418Survey designations of the form 2040 P-L, 3138 T-1, 1010 T-2 and 4101 T-3 are packed differently. Columns 1-3 contain the code indicating the survey and columns 4-7 contain the number within the survey.
Examples: 2040 P-L = PLS2040 3138 T-1 = T1S3138 1010 T-2 = T2S1010 4101 T-3 = T3S4101
CometsColumns 1-4 are as detailed above for minor planets. Columns 5-6 contain the order within the half-month period. Column 7 will normally be '0', except for split comets, when the fragment designation is stored there as a lower-case letter.
Examples: 1995 A1 = J95A010 1994 P1-B = J94P01b refers to fragment B of 1994 P1 1994 P1 = J94P010 refers to the whole comet 1994 P1 2048 X13 = K48X130 2033 L89-C = K33L89c 2088 A103 = K88AA30 A3 = 103Comet designations may also be given in a 12-character form, where columns 6-12 are as described above. Column 5 will contain a `C', `P', `D' or `X' (depending on the status and orbit type of the comet). For a numbered periodic comet, columns 1-4 contain the periodic-comet number, left-padded with zeroes. For other comets columns 1-4 contain blanks.
Natural SatellitesThe packed provisional format for satellite designations is identical to the packed format for comet designations, with the restriction that the last column (either column 7 or 12, depending on the form) always contains "0".
Permanent DesignationsThe permanent designation stored on the orbit and observations is stored in a 5-character packed format that saves space and makes sorting easier.
Minor PlanetsIf the minor-planet number is less than 100000, then the number is stored as a zero-padded right-justified string. E.g., (3202) is stored as "03202", (50000) as "50000".
When the number is above 99999, the number MOD 10000 is stored in columns 2-5 of the string and the number DIV 10000 is represented by the letters A-Z (if between 10 and 35, inclusive) or a-z (if between 36 and 61, inclusive). E.g., (100345) is represented as "A0345", (360017) as "a0017", and (203289) as "K3289".
CometsPermanent designations for comets are only given to periodic comets seen to return (or for Centaur comets, seen at multiple apparitions). The comet number is stored zero-padded right-justified in columns 1-4. Column 5 usually contains "P", except for lost or defunct periodic comets when it contains "D".

Is anyone working full time?
I work FT and plan to be at work till the last day because my clinic is closer to my office than my home
I am staying at work until he decides to come out. Hopefully, my water won't break in my office.

Nathaniel Charles EDD (10/19/12). Two years TTC!
I work full time. I have a scheduled c section planned. So, I will work until that date! I love my job and will actually miss it when I am out on leave. (not as much as I will miss baby when I come back, but still) :)
"that which we permit, we actively encourage."

I work full time, although I get to do one day a week from home (so I choose to sleep in that day) :). I'm in an office, at a desk, so this really isn't hard - but I am pretty much tied to my desk all day, and sitting for such long periods is already getting uncomfortable. I want to work as long as possible, but doubt I'll make it till my water breaks (unless he's early). A few days at home just focusing on me and baby sounds pretty darn good.

I work full time, but in a nice cozy desk job. I'm going to try to work as long as I can, especially since this has been a very easy pregnancy for me. I just hope that I go into labor overnight or just after work. My boyfriend just started a new job and we're sharing a car for now...he's getting paid fairly well, so hopefully we'll get him a vehicle soon...but I doubt before October. So I'd rather not go into labor at work and have to worry about how to get him to the hospital. :)

A Seminole County wreck resulted in the death of a Seminole woman and two others were taken to the hospital, according to an Oklahoma Highway Patrol report investigated by Trooper Tony Lemay and assisted by Lt. Scott Aldridge, Seminole County Sheriff's Department and Wewoka EMS.
According to the report, Maranda Schoonover, 20, died at the scene due to massive injuries. She was driving with a male passenger, Cashe Beaty, 23 of Seminole, who was transported to the hospital, treated and released with head, trunk internal, arm and leg injuries, according to the report.
Another passenger, one-month-old Natayla Beaty, was transported to the hospital then taken by medi flight to OU Children's Hospital where she is listed in stable condition with head injuries, according to the report.
According to the report, the wreck occurred Friday on State Highway 59 at County Road NS362.2 in Seminole County.
Lemay wrote in the report the vehicle driven by Schoonover was northbound on county road at which point she attempted a left turn onto SH59 to go westbound.
Schoonover failed to yield from a stop sign and was struck by a second vehicle, driven by Olen McCalip, 63 of Lexington, who was not injured, at which point both vehicles departed the roadway to the north, according to the report.
According to the report, seatbelts were in use by Schoonover and McCalip and a child restraint was in use and airbags deployed in Schoonover's vehicle.

Late to Migrate?
In order to fly, monarchs need temperatures of at least 50°F when sunny and at least 60°F when cloudy. Late-migrating monarchs are less likey to reach Mexico, but they can travel quickly when conditions are favorable. A monarch was tagged on October 9, 2008 in New Jersey and recovered on October 12th in Georgia. The butterfly had traveled 550 of miles in three days — an average of 180 miles per day.

NATO forces announced Wednesday that they had killed the Taliban member they believe was responsible for shooting down the Chinook helicopter carrying U.S. Navy SEALs and Afghan commandos Aug. 6.
Police in the area said that as many as 13 fighters were killed in the airstrike by an F-16 fighter jet, including the unnamed man said to have fired the fatal rocket-propelled grenade.
A statement issued by the coalition said that "while it has not been determined if enemy fire was the sole reason for the helicopter crash, it did take fire from several insurgent locations. … " —BF
The Telegraph:
Separately General John Allen, the new chief of US-led forces in Afghanistan, said that "at approximately midnight on 8 August, coalition forces killed the Taliban insurgents responsible for this attack" in a bombing raid by an F-16 fighter jet.
Gen Allen called the downing of the chopper a "tragic incident" but said the retaliatory strike against the insurgents as proof that the United States would press ahead with the war.
Local police sources said the dead also included fighters called Maulavi Shafiullah and Ghulam Hazrat.
A Taliban spokesman had earlier emailed The Daily Telegraph a statement purporting to come from the shooter, named as Ayubi, in which he described shooting the aircraft "in the chest" and watching it catch fire.
The authenticity of the statement was impossible to verify, but a police source said a man called Ayubi had been killed in the airstrike.

I don't really believe that this is a problem with 2.3 RC1 but I have to check here first before I go after my host.
Has anyone else that's using WP 2.3 RC1 having a problem with posting a comment and the page not refreshing (logged out) with email notification turned on?. I found that the send mail process was hanging on the server side which allowed the comment to post but the page to hang in the middle of refreshing. This causes a blank page in Firefox and a "Cannot display this page" (whatever) in IE.
This happened once before with 2.2 but it cleared up after a couple of days. This is just a "just to say I did" type of question here before I call my host. It might just clear up like last time but I'd sure like to know what might cause this to happen.

"Slow travel is a state of mind. It is about having the courage not to go the way of the crowd."
Wise words.
What he says is lovely in theory, and certainly elements of it should be practiced where possible, but with limited holiday time in certain countries and perhaps kids or elderly folk to consider, it is not very practical to take his approach in a lot of cases. A young couple in their 20s on a year-long RTW trip, for sure. A family of four on a two week holiday, maybe not.

Very nice. Reminds me of the days (about a decade ago) when I was actually looking to travel from the northeast US to Australia entirely over land and sea, with no air travel unless absolutely necessary. It was a shame to learn that nearly all of the cross-ocean/sea voyages had to be done by air, that is if not sailing my own yacht, working on a cruise ship or stowing away on a freighter. If only donkeys could swim.

#4 LeonardCohen1 has been a member since 24/7/2012. Posts: 2,148
Disagree with the assertion a family cant take it slow. 2 weeks on one island makes more sense than going to 5 diff places. Cheaper and more practical to slow it down.
#5 LeonardCohen1 has been a member since 24/7/2012. Posts: 2,148
I didn't mean a family couldn't take it slow, on the contrary I think that's the optimal way for them to travel. What I meant was it isn't practical for a family to travel overland for days on end to get to their destination. But, yes, by all means, once they arrive they should take it slow.
#6 chinarocks has been a member since 17/6/2011. Posts: 740
If they hire a car they can.
#7 LeonardCohen1 has been a member since 24/7/2012. Posts: 2,148
They CAN do whatever they like.
As I said, I don't think it's practical. Given the choice, I think most people with limited time would prefer to spend said time at a destination rather than getting to it.
#8 chinarocks has been a member since 17/6/2011. Posts: 740
Depends if the destination has much to offer and whether there is much to see along the way.
The problem that families or groups can face is satisfying diff tastes but if u have common interests a driving holiday can be great.
The best way to see the north and north east of thailand is to drive.
#9 LeonardCohen1 has been a member since 24/7/2012. Posts: 2,148
I've been saying this for years!
I would think it's not about the "destination". You go to a place to check it out and you go to a country to see what it's about.
Now, if you just want a beach holiday or you're just a horny dog looking to get laid, that's a different kind of traveller altogether. But we're not talking about beach travellers or sex travellers here - we're talking about cultural tourists. For them, taking it slow, getting off the beaten path, learning as much of the language as possible, meeting people and forming friendships - that would seem to be the ideal. But as we've discussed many times here on travelfish, that kind of tourist is exceedingly rare. Far more common is the guy who's doing the bannana pancake trail.

Hear hear! I'm a big fan of trains, which are faster than a donkey, but not always by much, if Vietnam's inappropriately named Reunification Express is anything to go by.
One of my favourite travels was from the UK to HCMC, all by train. It was interesting to notice faces, food and language change as we worked slowly east. It gave me time to read War and Peace. At the city stop-offs along the way, we didn't just land in the middle, we'd seen the approaches and the suburbs, understood more how the city fit with the wider country.
And while you do need time for a journey like that, the cost is surprisingly reasonable. I think many people want to cram in as much as possible into their available time, and put themselves under pressure to visit the 'must sees'. But that can mean missing out on a lot of personal experiences that will last much longer in the memory.
#11 AbigailatPenhandInk has been a member since 9/11/2010. Location: United Kingdom. Posts: 179
I have no idea what a must see is. My life isnt better for visiting the barrier reef or the vatican or some pretty temple.
Life is about experiences
#12 LeonardCohen1 has been a member since 24/7/2012. Posts: 2,148
"I have no idea what a must see is."
Yep. Two expressions I have always found annoying because they are cliches: "Must see" and "Give it a miss".
I remmember I toured the Ardennes with a retired Army Captain who fought there in December 1944. Walked over the very terrain his company was engaged. He could point to specific buildings, remnants of old fighting positions were still there - I would have called that a "must see". But if you're not into military history, maybe it's a "give it a miss." We are all different in our preferences and that's why these notions are not valid.
"Life is about experiences"
#13 MADMAC has been a member since 6/6/2009. Posts: 6,957
If you are travelling around France for one month, then Paris is a "must see".
Scunthorpe in England is, under all circumstances and unless you are from there, a "give it a miss".
#14 chinarocks has been a member since 17/6/2011. Posts: 740
I dont' want to go to Paris and it's not on my must see list. Marseille - yes. Lyon - yes. Normandy - yes. Paris? Full of Parisians who have a bad rep. I have a French buddy who lives out here (he's a teacher) and he says not to bother. It's not worth the hassle. I've never been to Scunthorpe England, but maybe it's cool. Everyone is different China. There are no "must sees" and there are no "give it a miss" places either. There are places that will appeal to different people for different reasons.

#17 exacto has been a member since 12/2/2006. Location: United States. Posts: 2,660
Where has exacto been?
I agree, there are must sees, but they are personal. Sometimes somewhere a must see turns out to disappoint and at other times we chance upon unexpected pleasures. And I don't believe you can separate 'must sees' from experiences: everything is an experience and a 'must see' can be as much about a 'must do / visit / explore etc.'
So to slow journeys: fantastic if they are good slow journeys, not so fantastic if not. I did not get much out of the bus journey from Laos to Vietnam (apart from a good story) but taking it slow through the Mekong Delta was worth the extra days.

Must see implies 100% of people will like it. That never happens therefore there is no must sees. Must see is just a marketing term claiming something is very good and you will like it for sure but personal taste says otherwise.
Just a trendy phrase for "highlights" that travel companies came up with.
Tv stations use it - must watch tv.
Given that some highlights for some are lowlights for others there is no must sees.
Your arms and legs wont drop off if u never visit a certain place.

I know a guy who went to Angkor Wat and was non-plussed, and that is about the biggest "Must see" there is in SEA.
I know another guy who says Pattaya is a must see.
Everyone is different as Leonard points out, and therefore the idea of a "must see" is erroneous. In the case of travelfish it makes the assumption that all backpackers share the same tastes, which is not true.

I have zero interest in angkor wat. I like temples and ruins that arent full of tourists. I enjoyed phanom rung and muang tham cause they were hardly any tourists there apart from thais. I enjoyed visiting buddhist temples in phayao and ubon.
Angkor blah. Couldnt careless.
Im thinking of.doing cambodia next yr and.if i do go i would be skipping angkor. The company that own the access rights is corrupt anyway.

After I "checked out" online I printed receipt, and that's when a description was printed stating "programming will have to be done by a qualified tech". He never said anything about this to me. On 5/9/12 still no part rec'd, so I called his # direct, n/a, left message on voicemail 7:00 am pst. I called back 1 hr later and he said "let me go to shipping dept. and see what happend, I will call you back in a couple of minutes". 2 hrs later I called again, n/a, left message. So I emailed him, he called me right back and said it was "sitting in shipping shelf, never mailed out" I got upset and called co. back asking for Parts Mgr. He called me back,I told him I wanted it shipped overnite or a refund. I was very nice this whole time but patience wearing very thin (car still not running) 5-11-12 rec'd part, husband put it in and car would not start!Called co. n/a, left message on voicemail, emailed right away, he answered me back with "did I program security system? He never said anything like that to me upon ordering. 5-11-12 mailed part back with signature confirmation request via USPS.They rec'd part back 5-14-12, and on 5-16-12 I emailed them "where is my refund".Parts mgr called me and said he will NOT refund any $.
So-they have my $, my part back and my car is still not working. He said since I installed it nop $ back.
Yes, we tried to install it but it will not start my car. Won't take my phone calls and now won't email me back.

My account Gabriella Marshdevil was born in 2010 and few months later (in December 2010) I created this blog. The idea came after I saw a couple of freebie blogs. I was baffled. Also, my inventory was plenty of landmarks from stores that were giving gifts, and I always loved taking pictures...so I think that uploading the pics to a public website could be useful and easier to share with others all the stuff I found interesting.
The name of the blog born in my mind after a template I found of Cinderella's carriage. So I tought: "Why not?" After all, can you think of a Disney princess more fashionable than her? She even tried to make her own ballroom dress x)
I made the whole thing alone, but I was lucky enough to find amazing people around the way, very nice people to help me. I want to leave a special thank you to these amazing bloggers and friends that helped me A LOT with their tips and patience (because I complain A LOT, about everything, lol), without you, I wouldn't be here: Lila Clemenceau, Selena Mortmagus, Yume Cluny.
I'm also grateful to the amazing followers and designers that have supported me all this time.

REVIEW POLICY: Quality comes first, I won't disappoint. I only blog things that matches my style (kawaii, doll, fantasy, classy). My photos are not super artistic and I like to focus on items, so I prefer clean poses and soft editing. I blog decor too.
*Grammar sux, I know. But it was worse before I started playing SL :p
