Rethinking Game 1
Perfect hindsight is easy, and it always has the advantage of never being tested against reality. But one wonders if Gregg Popovich didn't fall victim to his impulse of absolute caution with regard to injury. In other words, what if Manu Ginobili had played in Game 1?
Ginobili wanted to play; Ginobili felt well enough to play. But Gregg Popovich exercised his veto powers. That was that. Ginobili sat.
The Spurs lost Game 1 by three points. It seems like a long time ago, but you recall Shane Battier's game winning 3, I'm sure. Three points isn't much to overcome. Two possessions. The Spurs led late, prior to a defenisve collapse that gave way to a 7-0 Memphis run. With a little less than a minute remaining, the Spurs had the game in hand.
If Manu Ginobili had played in Game 1, would the Spurs have been two possessions better than the Grizzlies?
Psychologically, this is a much different series if the Spurs had claimed a victory in the series opener.

|Baron of Beef
|Whole rack of ribs, both sides. Sadly no longer possible to buy in UK as regulations require the removal of the spine, but fair to say that this is a mighty piece of beef to do justice!
|An extradordinary french cut taken from one or more of three places, depending on the region. Course grained with a bit meaty flavour. Incredibly tender if eaten rare but turns tough if cooked anything more. MarkAskew, Exec chef at Gordon Ramsay group, was kind enough to describe one of ours as the best bit of beef he'd ever tasted!
|Forequarter, top of leg. Tends to be used in this form most by restaurants, who bubble it down to make a fantastic flakey casserole /stock / pie.
|Braise/ Pot roast
|Boiling Beef
|Very ends of ribs, underside of belly. Looks a bit like spare ribs, with equal chunks of bone, lean and fat. Fabulous flavour if braised really slowly. A good cut if you have a range-cooker and you're so cold you're not sure you dare take your wellies off incase your toes stay behind.
|Braise/ Soups/ Broths
|Bottom Rump
|Lump of meat that sits at the top of the rear leg, adjoining the topside and silverside. Also known as fleshy end (see below).
|Roast/pot roast/ braise/stew
|Braising Steak
|A leaner version of a stewing cut, placed in a covered pan within a thick gravy and bubble for 2-4 hours. Rich and exciting, beautifully tender and yet a very cost effective way of feeding hungry people. Blade (Scot), or Fleshy End (Eng), Shin, Daubes.
|Between Forelegs to 9th rib (Scot), a bit shorter in England. This is one seriously under-rated cut, probably because it looks a bit fatty. Don't worry about it, all you need to do is buy a bit of rolled brisket, which is the cheapest piece of "joined-up" beef you can get, shove it in a pot with some red wine, potatoe slices, carrots& chalottes for 2-3 hours and "Bingo!" . Massive flavour, wonderful flakey texture and, best of all, virtually impossible to ruin.
|Pot roast/curing/braising
|Bullet Steak
|Dutch cut, symbolising a good quality steak, but not as good as striploin, fillet or ribeye. Tight in grain with a full flavour, usually served blue but we think is better rare. we take it from the lower buttock.
|Butler's Steak
|See Flat-Iron Steak below
|BBQ / Grill
|Chateau Briand
1. Sirloin on-the-bone with fillet still attached to other side. The Smartest of all roasts and charged accordingly. Take extreme care when cooking as it's hideously difficult to get both the fillet side and the sirloin side cooked to perfection. Alos known as Undercut or Sirloin Undercut.
2. Term for the best bit (the barrel/central tube, or larder trimmed) of the fillet.
|Roast very carefully
|It's been jolly difficult to get these in the UK up until very recently as the regulations here state the vets have to make to make three incissions around the cheek to check the carcass is safe. Unless done carefully, these render them unsellable. Very tender, flakey meat, quite a gentle flavour.
|braising steak around Blade. An English cut, can also be used in casseroles.
|Braise/ Pot roast
|Cheaper stewing cut with quite a few sinews. It saves a lot of sweat if you buy it already diced, as most of the sinews will have been removed. Also known as stewing steak (Eng), neck, Stewing Beef (Scot). To my mind, slow cookers were invented for diced stewing - bit of beef, bit of veg, sprinkling of seasoning and topped up with water/beer/wine; hit the on-button and enjoy on your return.
|Cote de Boeuf
|Single rib of beef taken from the larger end of the rib cage.
|Grill then roast then rest.
|Cowboy Steak
|S.American name for Skirt. I'm told they used to put it under their saddles and used the enzymes to break it down a bit. No idea if it's true or not, but it makes a good story….
|Braise/grill very slowly
|A form of braising but with real class. Thick slabs of beef, bubbled for several hours and served with a really thick gravy - gorgeous!
|False Fillet
|A square-ish cut, looks very like a fillet; not quite as tender but with a bigger flavour. To me, this is one cracker of a cut! If you ever see it off a grass-reared beast buy it, as you'll seldom find a more ubiquitous cut at such a reasonable price. Fried, grilled, slow-roasted, pot-roasted, BBQd, what ever takes your fancy. A top cut for beef-wellington-on-a-budget!
|Pot roast
|Feather Steak
|Long thin steak with sinews that make it look like a feather, tastes a bit brisketty. Best marinated (for my tatstes in lime & e.g. herbs) for 30mins in advance of cooking & grilling. This is a superb steak for BBQs.
|Marinade before grilling/BBQ. Great for kebab sticks
|Undercut of sirloin, a long, very tender "tube", subtle in flavour. Unfortunately you only get 5-6kg of fillet per 650kg beast (liveweight), hence being heavy on price.
|Roasting/Cut into steaks & fry/grill
|Fillet Mignon
|Muscle within the rump (popeseye). Small, tender and surprisingly light in flavour.
|Flank (Eng)
|Underside of beast. Overlaps the Brisket (scots) at the front end & Skirt (Eng)) at the back.
|Pot roast/braise/mince
|Flash Fry (Scot)
|Thin slices steak also known as minute steak. Whack into a seriously hot pan for 30 seconds a side (hence the name) and allow to rest. Great in a bun with some relish or cut into strips and stir-fried.Careful about overcooking as it can go tough very quickly.
|Stir fry or Fry/grill very quickly
|Flat Iron Steak
|An American cut from the shoulder blade, so called because it looks like a flat iron. Good barbequed. Unfortunately only 2-3lbs of flat iron per side. Also known as Butler's Steak. Taken out of the shoulder blade, so benefits from 10mins rest after cooking. Increasingly taken from the blade, giving it a slightly soapy texture, tremendous tenderness and a pleasant, gentle flavour.
|BBQ / Grill
|Fleshy End
|Two-mucle slab of meat at the top of the rear leg that can be rolled and roasted, pot roasted (better), or sliced and braised. Also known as bottom rump.
|Roast/pot roast/ braise/stew
|Frying Steak
|General term to clarify the difference between a fast cooking steak and a slow cooking (braising) one.
|Fry/ BBQ/Grill
|Frying Steak (Borders)
|Local term in Scottish Borders for rump / popeseye steak.
|Fry/ BBQ/Grill
|Gaucho Steak
|As per cowboy steak. Its strength of flavour and tenderness means it doesn't need hanging to get the best out of it, in fact it beomes gamey quite quickly - hence the gauchos being able to cook it up on the spot by way of a perk.
|BBQ / Grill
|Gertjan Steak
Scottish cut named after a Dutch master butcher, who gave us the idea. Tight grained with a gentle but distinct flavour that works beautifully rare-medium rare. Becomes tough if taken through to medium (pink). The one steak where we agree with our friend Derek that sous vide is a great way of cooking it.
|fry / Sous vide
|Goose Skirt
|Thin strip of meat that runs from point where the two sides of the rib cage close in at the front back in to the heart. A butchers perk as it's usually treated as offal by the abbatoirs, yet a really good bit of meat.
|Mince/cornish pastie
|Hanger Steak
|An American cut taken from the (goose) skirt, approx 1 foot long, 4" wide and and 1" thick. Quite coarse, strong in flavour. Also known as Cowboy or Gaucho steak.
|BBQ / Grill
|Hatchet Steak
|A single steak from the fore-rib, still on the bone but with the flap removed so that the bone stands proud and partly bare, a bit like the handle of a hatchet.
|Roast / Grill
|Heugh-bone steak
|A 2" (5cm) x 14" long thick slice of rump with fat on that you roast. If you're a growing lad, I defy you to look at that thing without thinking of "surrounding" it with two slices of bread and going for broke!
|Jacob's Ladder
|Very ends of ribs, underside of belly. Looks a bit like spare ribs, cut as individuals with equal chunks of bone, lean and fat. Also knwn as thin runner and short ribs.
|Can't think of a better description than a Clump of wee brown nodules, all joined together around a lump of white fat, which you cut away.
|Fried or bubbled within a Steak & kidney pie
|LMC (Leg of Mutton cut) (S. Eng & Yorkshire)
|Triangular slice of beef from over the blade that's rolled to make a very pleasant pot roast.
|Pot roast/braising/stewing
|Trade name for a whole sirloin or striploin (see below), particularly if it's still incorporated in the rear uarter or choice cuts.
|roast or cut into steaks and fry/grill
|Off cuts of beef of a medium to low fatty nature put through a fine dicing machine (frequently twice). The higher the lean beef content of mince, the less it will shrink (ours is 96%, so shrinks ~20% less than normal mince)
|For me, it has to be cottage pie …...
|Minute Steak (Eng)
|Thin-sliced steak also known as flash fry (see above).
|Stir fry or Fry/grill very quickly
|Cheaper stewing cut with quite a few sinews. Also known as stewing steak (Eng), Clod, Stewing Beef (Scot).
|Liver, heart, lungs, skirt, tongue etc.
|Get creative!
|French cut taken from within the skirt. Course in texture with a strong flavour that verges on gamey. Served rare
|Osso Bucco
|Cross sectional slices of shin with the bone and marrow still in. Look spectacular when cooked and taste terrific.
|Top of tail
|Boil for soup/broth/stew
|For me, the best steak of all. There are only Two 3/4lb (400g) oyster shaped steaks per beast. Taken out of the shoulder, it takes a skilled butcher not to put the knife straight through them. Best described as "ribeye - with attitude".
|Popseye (Eng - Dorset)
|Smaller solid (not rolled) joint of silverside, triangular in profile, also known as salmon cut.
|Slow roast @ 150 deg C /pot roast
|Popseye (Scotland)
|Steak, slightly tougher than sirloin but full of flavour (also known as frying steak (Borders) or Rump steak)
|Fry/ BBQ/Grill
|Porterhouse Steak
|There seem to be multiple definitions of a porterhouse with one common theme - they're all HUGE! Two most popular definitions are a 32 Oz (~1kg) rump (Heugh-bone steak) or a double T-bone, taken from further down the sirloin & fillet where it's bigger.
|Fry/ BBQ/Grill
|Rib Roast
|Front end of rib cage. Fattier than sirloin roast, particularly on naturally reared beasts, but looks quite spectacular and taste superb hot & cold. 4 ribs in Scotland, 5 ribs in England.
|Roast / slice up eye (main bit) for ribeye steaks. Use reaminder for roast /spare-ribs.
|Slices of the eye (meaty bit) of the rib roast. Looks fatty but tastes amazing! Also known as the butcher's fillet, has become very popular recently.
|Fry/ BBQ/Grill
|Round Steak
|The tubular muscle within the shoulder, well marbled with a lovely meaty flaour that grows as you chew. Too loose a grain for anything other than slow cooking.
|Curry / Stewing / Braising
|Rump (Scot Borders)
|Beef with lower density of sinews but too tough to eat without thorough, slow, cooking. Taken from top of rear leg. Known as Braising steak in England & Stewing steak in further North.
|Casseroles/pot roast if whole.
|Rump Steak
|Steak, also known as Top rump, frying steak or Popeseye). Can be pretty tough on occassions, but if you see a nice bit of beef that's been slow grown (see buying advice at top of page), it won't be. Furthermore it'll have a fabulous full flavour with a sweet fat that's crisp and enjoyable. Provides amazing value for money. My personal favourite.
|Fry/ BBQ/grill
|Salmoln cut
|Toblarone shaped piece of silverside which, when seen whole looks a salmon. Our's produces a flavour that lasts a good 5 mins in the mouth and eats well cold. Quite forgiving if you run a little late too, unlike the better known Topside. Also known as Popeseye if you live in Dorset.
|Slow roast @ 150 deg C /pot roast
|Upper leg, sold either on or off the bone. Bubbled away for hours, it's wonderfully rich & meaty.
|Short Ribs
|See Jacob's ladder above.
|Comes in two forms. Rolled up and tied or in a "toblarone" shaped piece (Salmon cut/Pope's Eye). The former's best pot-roasted, the latter slow-roasted (see above).
|Pot roast, unless Salmon cut, which roast at 150
|Rear end of rib cage, also known as loin or striploin (trade name). Legend has it that one was so enjoyed by George III(?) that he knighted it - hence Sir Loin. Most commonly found as very tender, very pleasent steaks off the bone. Personally I think they're better roasted still on th ebone, though they don't look as spectacular as a Rib Roast, which is taller. N.B. One rib shorter in England than Scotland.
|Roast or cut into steaks and fry/grill
|Skirt (Eng)
|As Skirt (scot), also underside of beast towards back-end. Also known as hind quarter Flank
|Marinade & grill, or braise
|Skirt (Scot)
|Darker, rough-edged bit of braising steak that goes from between the ribs up into the body. Tender with quite a strong flavour.
|Marinade & grill, or braise
|Spale Bone
|Top of foreleg covering the shoudler blade. Also known as Spoul. Tastey, but I prefer the brisket when it comes to pot roasts, I think the flavour's more interesting.
|Pot roast
|Spare Ribs
|Tips of the ribswith the meat still attached between the ribs, not taken out for use as mince.
|Top of foreleg covering the shoulder, also known as Spale bone (see above).
|Pot roast
|Steak-in-a-piece (Scot)
|Solid lump of rump (frying) steak, roasted with the fat on. Takes quite a large oven if you're going the whole hog - and some hungry friends! Scaled down is also known as a Heugh-Bone steak.
|roast/slice into steaks & fry or grill
|Stewing Beef (Scot)
|Beef with high density of sinews from neck & whithers. Also known as neck/clod & stewing steak in England.
|Stews/ Steak pies
|Stewing steak (Eng)
|See stewing beef above
|Stews/ Steak pies
|Stewing steak (Scot)
|Beef with lower density of sinews but too tough to eat without thorough slow, cooking. Taken from top of rear leg. Known as Braising steak in England
|Trade name for a whole sirloin, normally trimmed down and ready to slice into steaks.
|roast or cut into steaks and fry/grill
|T-Bone steak
|A cross section of the Chateau Briand. The bone is shaped like a T, with the fillet one side and the sirloin the other.
|Fry/ BBQ/Grill
|Thick Rib
|A lean frying steak from the fore shoulder. Similar flavour to rump but a wee bit tougher. It takes me 3-5 chews, but the flavour grows as you chew, making it great steak for people who like e.g. a pepper sauce with their beef.
|Treat as rump steak but remove the fat. Fry/grill
|Thick Runner
|See Thick Rib above
|Treat as rump steak but remove the fat. Fry/grill
|Thin Rib
|See Boiling Beef above. Also known as Jacob's Ladder when in a piece.
|Boil (scot), much better Braised.
|Looks a lot better cooked & peeled than when its raw. Subtle flavour with a fine grained texture & can be eaten hot or cold, Usually bought pickled, which saves you several days of preperation. It's fallen out of fashion simply for being what it is, which means it's perfect for anyone looking for a tasty meal on a tight budget.
|Boil , peel, braise then slice.
|Rolled roast, often smaller at one end than the other. Very popular as a Sunday roast as it's reasonably priced and easy to carve. Best with a covering of fat and either slow roasted (150 deg C for 25 mins/lb) or pot roasted (cooked higher it shrinks more and dries out). Definitely one which improves with basting and, if you can, using the oven with the fan off.
|roast (slow), pot-roast.
|Roast rib of sirloin with fillet still attached to the underside of the bone. A very expensive bit of beef but looks fantastic. See also Chateau Briand.
|Roast very carefully.

AL - Willie Mae McGuire, 53, Troy, 29 Oct 2005
Missing Troy Woman
8:29 AM Nov 8, 2005
Police are searching for a Troy woman who was last seen visiting a friend at the Brundidge Retirement Center.
53-year-old Willie Mae McGuire Slaughter was last seen October 29th and family members have not seen or heard from her since.
document.write('');Her disappearance is especially concerning because she depends on seizure medication.
Authorities have tried to find her using helicopters and search teams. Family members and friends have posted fliers and searched by foot. But all the efforts are turning up very few leads.
Troy Police Sgt. Benny Scarbrough says to "let us know of any knowledge of any time an individual saw her. Small things to a lot of people may not seem to be important, but to us, it may be very critical."

Update On Missing Woman
Willie Mae McGuire Slaughter was reported missing by her family two days before Halloween. But now, authorities believe they've found the woman affectionately called, "Pumpkin" by her family and friends.
Orange spray paint, and small flags line the area, where authorities believe Willie Mae McGuire slaughter's 1990 Geo Prizm slid off the road, onto this embankment and into this wooded area, where it hit a tree.
document.write('');Brundidge Police Chief Moses Davenport says, "We know for a fact that she pulled it back onto the road but it also appears that she came on across from the road, but maybe she was out of control of then, even though she ran off the first time, we're not for sure"
Slaughter's family members stood around as a tow truck took the wrecked car and the coroner took what's believed to be slaughters body from the wooded area. But even though this street has cars going and coming, and a golf course, and a Wal-Mart distribution center, the thick brush prevented anyone from seeing Slaughters car. And even though foul play is not suspected in this case because slaughter has a medical history of seizures, authorities still have determine if in fact this is Slaughters body, that leaves family members without closure until an autopsy is done
It was reported by area residents that they heard a loud bang on the day Slaughter went missing.

I wonder if she had a seizure while driving. How sad. And she had just been visiting a friend in a nursing home? She sounds like a nice thoughtful lady...especially with the name "pumpkin." That is a term of affection to me anyway. What I called my grandkids when they were little. Sad for her family. I'm glad it wasn't a murder. That in itself is such a relief.
Does anyone know if the body in the car was ever confirmed as that of Slaughter?

Slaughter's family members stood around as a tow truck took the wrecked car and the coroner took what's believed to be slaughters body from the wooded area.
December 3, 2005
Services for Willie Mae McGuire Slaughter, 53, of Troy will be at 1 p.m. November 15, 2005 at First Missionary Baptist Church in Troy with Rev. George Gilchrist, Jr. officiating.
There will be a memorial service from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. Tuesday at the funeral home.
RIP Willie Mae, continued prayers for your family."Three things in human life are important: The first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind." ~ Henry James

Creating the air we breathe
Algae have been on Earth for more than 1.6 billion years. Early algae existed when there was hardly any oxygen in the air. Over time, they produced so much oxygen waste that it changed the atmosphere.
They put enough oxygen into the air that animals and people could breathe. Without algae, none of us would be here.
Plants also produce oxygen. But algae were producing oxygen more than a billion years before plants even existed.
The algae in the ocean are responsible for more than half of all the oxygen we breathe today. Some experts believe they may have produced as much as 85 percent of the oxygen in our atmosphere.
Trapping carbon dioxide
Algae also help our atmosphere by trapping carbon dioxide and taking it out of the air. Carbon dioxide is poisonous to people and animals. It also traps the heat in our atmosphere, warming the planet.
Plants also take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. When plants are burned or they decay, they release the carbon dioxide they had pulled in. In some cases, it may take 100 years for the carbon dioxide to return to the atmosphere.
But after algae die, their trapped carbon dioxide sinks to the bottom of the ocean. It could be 1 million years before it returns to our atmosphere. This helps slow global warming.
Dining on algae
Algae are a super-important food source. Sea animals, from tiny one-celled zooplankton to giant whales, all depend on algae for most of their food.
Humans eat algae too. Seaweed, a type of algae, is an important part of Asian food. It is in everything from bread to sushi.
You may be eating algae without realizing it. Kelp and other types of algae are used as thickeners in foods such as cheese, pudding, chocolate milk, orange juice and soup. Algae keep ice cream smooth and help get rid of ice crystals. They can also be found in products such as toothpaste and pet food.
Check the ingredient list on some of the foods in your house. If you see "agar," "alginate" or "carrageenan," it means there are algae in the product.

Fishsticks Designs offers sewing patterns for unique and modern clothing that is always practical for you and your family. Fishsticks Designs was born from my desire to not only sew clothing for my own children but also to teach other moms (and grandmas, and aunts, and maybe even a few dads) to do the same. Each of my patterns includes step-by-step instructions with words and pictures so that you can read and see what to do next. It's almost like sitting in my sewing room with me. It's at least the closest that I can get without you stopping by for a visit.
I'm blessed to be mom to six children, two girls and four boys. Because my youngest three are boys and they're the ones I sew for the most, I tend to focus my designing on patterns that work great for boys. I also enjoy creating patterns with an incredible amount of versatility so that you can become comfortable with a pattern and go back to it again and again without your end products looking exactly the same. I want you to be able to build a whole wardrobe for your child from just a few patterns.
I begin each pattern with a hand-drawn design and work to get the fit just right for my little ones. Then I transfer my hand-drawn design the computer and create a digital design which is then graded up and down to each of the sizes included with the pattern. Once the pattern is ready, I call on my skilled testers to test out the pattern, instructions and sizing.
My end goal is to give you a great-fitting, easy-to-follow pattern each time!
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her. Proverbs 31:28
THIS IS AN ECO-FRIENDLY, NO-PATTERN-PIECE PATTERN. All pieces are measured and cut according to the included measurements.
The Sew & Go Messenger Bag is perfect for anyone on-the-go! Whether you're packing school books, your business papers or diapers, this bag does it all. One large document pocket is hidden under the flap which closes simply with just a flip and no unnecessary fasteners.

OAK MOSS Overview Information
Oak moss is the moss from a certain type of oak tree called Evernia prunastri. The moss is used to make medicine.
People take oak moss for intestinal problems.
In manufacturing, oak moss is used as a fragrance in perfumes.
Oak moss is sometimes called tree moss, but so are other products. Avoid confusion by looking for the scientific name, Evernia prunastri.
How does it work?
There isn't enough information to know how oak moss might work as a medicine.
OAK MOSS Uses & Effectiveness
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Intestinal problems.
- Other conditions.
OAK MOSS Side Effects & Safety
Oak moss might be safe for most people when taken for short periods of time as a water-based tea. When taken in large amounts, for long periods of time, or as an alcohol extract, oak moss is UNSAFE. Oak moss contains a toxic chemical called thujone. It can cause side effects such as restlessness, vomiting, dizziness, tremors, kidney damage, and convulsions.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: It's UNSAFE to take oak moss if you are pregnant. It contains a chemical called thujone that might cause the uterus to contract, and this could cause a miscarriage.
Allergy to lichens and mosses: If you are allergic to lichens and mosses, you might also be allergic to oak moss. It's best to avoid oak moss if you have one of these allergies.
A blood disorder called porphyria: Oak moss might make this condition worse. Don't use oak moss if you have porphyria.
Kidney problems: Oak moss might make this condition worse. Don't use oak moss if you have kidney problems.
OAK MOSS Dosing
The appropriate dose of oak moss depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for oak moss.

EDINET, Moldova -- The residents in the town of Edinet located in the northern part of the Republic of Moldova will soon have a newly renovated fire and rescue station with an emergency operations center.
Moldova is a developing country that declared its independence and established its boundaries in 1991, as part of the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
"As a new country, there are a lot of things happening here for the first time," Dorin Trestianu, Office of Defense Cooperation assistant program manager said. "Part of the broader civil protection and disaster preparedness capability is building a network of regional fire and rescue stations with EOCs. These facilities are a top priority for our country and our communities. The Edinet station is part of that developing system."
The nearly $430,000 project, funded by the U.S. European Command's humanitarian assistance program and overseen by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District, is part new construction and part renovation of an existing building.
"As much as we would like to, we can't renovate and reconstruct every regional fire and rescue station," Trestianu said. "Balancing scarce resources, we concentrate on stations where renovations are needed most. We look for area where there isn't a nearby station or for stations that are strategically located. We're really trying to spread the wealth."
Although Edinet has a population of only 18,000 people, the station, according to Trestianu, will be the primary first responder for 47 villages, 10 major industrial enterprises, and other businesses which brings the total area of responsibility to approximately 896 square kilometers and 97,000 people.
"With so many residents depending on the station's services, the station must be a fully functional facility that can respond to its populace in the case of any disaster," Trestianu said.
The existing building was not designed to be a fire station, but by updating and renovating nearly every surface, adding new windows, exterior and interior doors, new insulation, flooring and completely upgrading the electrical system; the station will better serve the residents while providing a more user-friendly environment for the employees.
"When we started the project, the floors were falling through, there was mold on the walls and ceilings, the fire truck bays were deteriorating and the toilets were outside," said Marcelo Maier, a USACE civil engineer. "After the renovations are finished, the building will not only have three new bay garages with larger-wider doors, making it easier for trucks to be pulled for storage and repairs when needed; it will also have indoor toilets."
Additionally, a second story will be constructed adding approximately 420 more square meters of living and working space. This area will house a sleep area for on-duty personnel, restrooms and showers, administration and training areas, office and storage spaces, and a break room and kitchenette.
"These renovations will give the employees adequate service, duty and training spaces," Trestianu said. "But, more importantly the renovations will significantly improve Moldova's ability to quickly and professionally respond to a disaster which goes directly towards the enforcement of stability and security both at the local and regional levels."
Renovations and construction is expected to be complete by summer 2012.

A Swedish turbocharged Honda S2000 with USA-influenced carbon fibre styling and one speed-loving lady owner.
If we're being totally honest, the USA tuning scene is envied the world over. Yes, a lot of the tuners and modifiers have more money than the majority of their European counterparts, but even with a bigger wallet, you still have to do the job properly. America produces some incredible modified rides, in particular forced induction examples, but every so often it seems they can be beaten at their own game. Step forward Swedish girl Ulrica Svensson and her USA-influenced turbocharged Honda S2000.
At first glance, the car is pure USA. The Grand Prix white paint, abundance of carbon fibre body parts, black rims and huge front mounted intercooler are all typical American style traits, but this 450bhp beauty actually hails from the slightly colder lands of Sexdrega in Sweden. "The car has had a lot of praise from the forums," Ulrica said. "Most people think it is American and can't believe it is actually from Sweden."
Ulrica is no stranger to car tuning or getting her hands dirty. A former motorbike salesperson, she and her boyfriend Mikael, a mechanic and stunt driver, enjoy car building as a hobby, and this S2000 is the first car they've completed by themselves. "I've owned a Nissan 300ZX, Sierra Cosworth and a BMW E36 M3 before this, and got the S2000 in October 2004," Ulrica explained.
The plan wasn't to ever get an S2000, however. "We were on our way to look at a Mitsubishi Evo VI," Ulrica explained, "but we saw in the local car shop that this silver 2001 S2000 had just arrived from Germany. We bought it, but when I drove it home, I thought 'what a piece of shit this is'. It was so slow compared to the M3, but I think I had to learn how to use the V-TECH properly."
Ulrica never gave herself time to learn this art. The same day the car was bought, Ulrica and Mikael ordered a supercharger from Vortech. In fact, Ulrica only drove the car twice in standard form. She expected the supercharger fitting to be a full winter project, but it ended up taking only one week. With the Vortech supercharger's wheel and belt changed, and running 1.25 bar at a high-revving 9200rpm, the little Roadster was good for around 350bhp – a healthy 100bhp leap over standard.
Sweden is a country with a deep affection for forced induction, so Ulrica wasted no time taking her supercharged Honda to a few shows. "At the time it was in its standard silver colour," she said. "At the shows, people were interested, but we never won any prizes, so we had the idea of repainting it Grand Prix white." This colour is a factory S2000 colour, but was only made available to the USA. So, unless someone else has done similar, this is Europe's only white S2000.
As unique as this is, it is the rest of the work on the body that truly separates Ulrica's Honda from the rest of the S2000 tuning scene in Europe. The emphasis, most certainly, is on carbon fibre. The lightweight material is not cheap, but it certainly is a popular addition on most modified cars these days, and arguably it is at its best on a white car. The contrast between the Grand Prix white of Ulrica's S2000 and the carbon black of the bonnet, hard top, door mirrors and giant rear wing looks breathtaking, and certainly a visual improvement over the standard silver this Honda left the factory in.
The hard top, distinctly Mugen style, has come from Seibon in the USA, while the carbon fibre bonnet is of C-West style also from Seibon. The front bumper has been replaced by a tougher C-West item that displays the front mounted intercooler suitably, while the carbon fibre corner bumper splitters offer an excellent custom look. The rear wing is perhaps the most extreme modification, but this Simoni Racing Zeus carbon fibre spoiler certainly works with the extrovert nature of the whole car. And with all the extra power, it doubtless does its bit to stabilise the light rear end at speed.
Although Ulrica's S2000 is of 2001 vintage, aficionados will notice the car's rear has been somewhat modernised. The rear bumper is from a 2005 model, with the fasteners needing to be remodelled to ensure a flush fit. An even trickier job was fitting 2005-model rear lights, where the body had to be cut to make new holes for the fitting. To round off this rather impressive rear end, a pair of Invidia 4" tail-pipes look suitably tough poking through the curved rear bumper.
Above all, Ulrica's S2000 is a thing of beauty. The styling is enough to make a dramatic statement, yet not so over the top to appear garish. Little touches like the subtle stickers on the white body add a racing feel, while carbon fibre Honda badges and carbon fibre APR Formula GT3 side mirrors are tasteful additions. It is the wheels that can often make or break a car of course, and Ulrica has ensured no mistakes were made with the rolling stock.
For a race-bred car, can there be a finer choice than BBS rims? Nestled in the white arches are a set of 18" LeMans rims – 8" wide at the front and 9.5" at the back – looking resplendent with their centre sections painted black and brightened up with blue wheel nuts and red brake callipers on view behind. You can also see through the wheels' multi-spokes a set of 330mm discs: all part of a StopTech big brake kit.
These bigger brakes are wholly necessary as part of a chassis package designed to accept more power than the standard S2000, or even the supercharger put on the car originally. H&R coilovers fixed to the lowest possible setting ensure the BBS wheels sit tightly in the arches, and ensure road holding is not a worry on the already tight-as-standard S2000. A Cusco strut brace up front also does its bit to help the chassis be as rigid as possible.
All this chassis work isn't just for show. Ulrica had been enjoying plenty of success at the car shows once the body styling was complete, and then embraced the idea of swapping the supercharger for a turbo. "I put a turbo on just for show at first," Ulrica said, "and then spent last winter rigging it all up."
Turbocharged Honda S2000's are rare things, with the majority of these all hailing from the USA, so it was no surprise Ulrica sourced a turbo kit from across the pond. LoveFab (www.lovefab.com) in Michigan makes custom kits for the S2000, with a modified Garrett GT35R turbo the centrepiece. The kit is a reasonable $8500US on the company's website, and also includes the likes of a LoveFab 3" downpipe, LoveFab manifold, Tial 44mm wastegate, Tial 50mm blow-off valve and Precision 750hp intercooler.
Even with quite a comprehensive kit, Ulrica and Mikael still had a lot of work to do fitting the kit, and making their own custom parts. "We made our own custom fuel rail, injectors, fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator all in our tiny garage," she said. "We added a Cometic 3mm head gasket that has lowered the compression to 8.8:1, a Koyo radiator and had the engine bay fully polished."
The final job is always sorting out the engine management, and this has been handled by Civinco in Gothenburg who have ensured the S2000 is running to the best of its capabilities. Ulrica has estimated the turbo kit means the S2000 realises 450bhp now, but there are no dyno charts as yet to prove this. "I'm looking for high 10s or low 11s on the drag strip," Ulrica said, "but I'd need to change my wheels for the 15" ones I have with drag rubber." If the car does indeed have 450bhp, such times are well within the Swede's grasp, and would be impressive for the little S2000.
The detail in the engine bay is in line with the tremendous quality of work seen throughout the car. The V-TECH engine and all its surrounding custom components are perfectly polished to give a supreme show car style. The braided lines with red connectors, blue Samco hoses and the green HKS air filter all add a welcome dose of colour as well, and it is of little wonder that Ulrica's car has walked away with many first place trophies in recent shows. In fact, it is currently a Top 10 car in Sweden's renowned Bilsport Show, and is justifiably in the running for the coveted first place trophy in this event.
The car's interior continues with the quality style, although very little has been changed from the attractive standard S2000 cabin. "We wanted to fit bucket seats, but we couldn't find any small enough as the car is not very wide," Ulrica explained. An aftermarket steering wheel adds a sportier touch, while door cards from a 2005 model S2000 update things somewhat. Meanwhile, a set of Apexi gauges provide the required information to keep an eye on the boost level and oil and exhaust temperatures.
So this cabin is a good place to pilot what is an incredibly capable Honda S2000. As standard, Honda's roadster has built a positive reputation for itself with its high-revving, tail-sliding performance, but the addition of around 200bhp thanks to the turbo work Ulrica has carried out ensures the car's fun nature is considerably amplified. And when it looks this good dressed in Grand Prix white with all those carbon fibre panels, it is unquestionably a brilliant show car with the performance to back it up. If Ulrica is anything to go by, car tuning abilities is just one more reason to love the Swedish girls!

A book called "Grimoire Wiess", to be exact, and it talks. Square Enix and developer Cavia (Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles) won't go into detail about the book's backstory, motivations or how it came to be in NIER's possession, but we do know that it is the source of NIER's magical power, a power he is willing to use to save his daughter no matter what the cost.
Grimoire Weiss-powered spells are mapped to the shoulder buttons. Attacks like "Dark Hand" call forth a.. you guessed it… dark hand, that emerges from the book and lands a meaty punch on NIER's hapless enemies. Then there's "Dark Blast", which shoots out small orbs of energy from the book's pages. And let's not forget "Dark Lance", which does exactly what it says on the tin. There are more - loads more - some of which take out tens of enemies at once, causing blood to spray like streams from water hoses. Put simply, all the magic attacks are dark. Very, very, dark.
NIER, the book, and his daughter are then transported 1,300 years into the future. Why? We don't know. How? We don't know. All we know is that civilisation has reset itself following the apocalyptic effects of the Black Scrawl. The Earth, and NIER's world, is now at the Feudal stage. People live in huts, farm the land to survive, and live in constant terror from demonic beasts.
It is in one Feudal town that we get a better idea about the relationship between NIER and Grimoire Weiss. The book constantly talks to its owner, sniping at NIER with sarcastic and cutting remarks in a stereotypically posh English voice. They don't like each other, but for some mysterious reason they need each other. NIER saved Weiss from eternal doom, and in return it agreed to help our hero save his daughter from the disease. How long this uneasy truce lasts is anyone's guess.
NIER's menu system has been designed to look like you're reading Grimoire Weiss itself - a clever system. Maps, items, quests, weapons, and more can be navigated as if you're thumbing through the pages of a book. It's in Weiss that you'll fuss over one of NIER's more interesting features: word edit. You can add words, which stand for statistical bonuses (+8 per cent attack power, for example), to your weapons, levelling them up as NIER himself grows more powerful. The new weapon, complete with new name, can then be used in battle.
No hack and slash worth its virtual salt would be complete without massive, screen-filling bosses. Luckily, NIER's got you covered. The town NIER and his daughter are holed up in soon comes under attack from a swarm of Shades. As the people retreat to the town library, NIER draws his sword against the demons. But he's soon faced with a bigger problem, a much bigger problem: a huge, tentacle-faced boss that threatens to destroy the library and everyone in it.
Against bosses, attack gauges appear next to weak spots once you've hacked at them enough. These gauges trigger a countdown - hack enough before the time runs out and you'll perform a powerful, Grimoire Weiss-fuelled attack that spawns a blood-coloured hand that rips off the beastie's arm, and takes a chunk out of the boss's life bar in the process. In this case, however, nothing's working - the boss's limbs grow back seconds after they're ripped off. When all looks lost, and the giant demon is literally on top of the town library, our hermaphrodite pal Kainé turns up, f-ing and blinding as she lends a helping hand. This is where our demo ends. It's a shame: we had high hopes for those tentacles.
Obviously, NIER is a game that takes what we think we know about Square Enix games, rips its head off, then nonchalantly uses it to bowl a strike. Really, this is a good thing: we love it when developers try something a bit out there. The question NIER has to answer is: will its combat system be deep enough to keep the God of War/Bayonetta crowd happy? We can already see some lambasting the game's hacking and slashing as too simplistic to carry the player over the course of its 30-something hours. The story, setting and characters are refreshing and interesting - we've had our fill of painfully thin emos. The rivers of blood might look silly, and the swearing might jar, but at least it's different. This is NIER's greatest strength. Fingers crossed the combat does its part, too. If not, well - there's a hermaphrodite in NIER!
NIER will be released on the PS3 and Xbox 360 on April 23 2010.

Shell set to open R&D hub in Bangalore
By ENS Economic Bureau - BANGALORE
Published: 09th November 2012 10:41 AM
Last Updated: 09th November 2012 10:41 AM
Global energy company, Shell announced that they will soon commence operations in new research and development (R&D) in Bangalore.
The company, which already employs 900 people here, will increase their headcount to 1500 people. Yasmine Hilton, Chairman Shell Companies (India) said that Bangalore would become the third destination after Houston (Texas) and Amsterdam (Holland).
Though the company refused to comment on the total investment for the R&D centre, senior officials of the company had earlier shared that it was nearly $300 million.
Express, in August 2012, reported that Shell would be increasing their headcount by setting up an R&D centre in a 40 acre space in Devanahalli, near Bangalore.
With this R&D centre, the company would have a total of 60 sites across Bangalore and Chennai of the total licences for 2000 sites that the company had.
Officials said that the company had spent $1.1 billion for R&D in 2011.
On deregulation of diesel, Hilton said that the decision was in the hands of the government.

Self PeggingI like to take my wife's ***** and stick it to the toilet seat, it has a suction cup so it sticks. I'll then go and put on her garter belt and stockings, borrow one of her black skirts, button up a crisp white tuxedo shirt, tie a tight bow tie and finish it off with a wool tuxedo jacket.
The ***** is waiting for me to start sucking on it and i give it what it wants. After its nice and wet i lube up my *** and the ***** and let it slide into my tight ***. After 30 min of *** pounding I will take a butt plug and shove it in my ***, take off her skirt and put on my tuxedo pants and go out on my own to a movie. Having to sit there with a butt plug makes me hard and wearing a tuxedo just send me over.
Since my wife is away on business alot i ordered myself a 7" ***** with a suction cup. When it arrived i couldnt wait to try it out! I opened it and was a little shocked at the size it was a little longer and a bit more thicker than my wifes ******* but i still gave it a shot! I put in a **** climbed on the Bed and pressed it against the wall until the very secure. Quickly undressed grabbed the ky latex on my back and lubed myself up while staring up at it! All lubed up i got on all fours and backed up until i felt it start touch my ***. I relaxed and began to push until i could feel it entering me as i felt the large head slide in i let out a loud moan.slowly i worked the whole thing in i felt so full! By now i was so horny i started riding it faster and faster moaning louder and louder finally After 30 minutes of me pounding myself i reached down and went into a frenzy stroking my **** i pushed back and Took all 7" as deep as i could let out some animalistic howl and shot load After load onto the Bed released the suction cup and collapsed on the bed with my new toy still buried in me. I couldnt wait for my wife to call that night to tell her even better get back so i could show her!!! It was .not the last toy We purchased Thats for sure!!!
That's hot
WOW very Hot story. I know that had to feel so good.
WOW, Very Hot.
like the idea of dressing up first....so hot
I Like it in the shower and turn on the water massage ...
who goes to a movie in a tuxedo ?
My Question is: Is self pegging an gay act ??<br />
because there are many info about self pegging and to the comments,someone say it's an gay act,but some other say it's not!!
Wouldn't a homosexual act (gay) be when two people of the same sex have a sexual experience? Since self pegging is just solo anal ************ how is that gay? I peg my self with my wife's "realistic **** *****" & I'm as heterosexual as u can get. I just like how it feels, I do not lust for a man to replace the *****.

Can anything stop the Philippines?
The iShares MSCI Philippines Investable Market Index (EPHE) exchange-traded fund has returned 10.4% this year, trumping the MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF's (EEM) 19% return. This year's gains follow on last year's rally, when the iShares Philippines returned 48% to the emerging market's 1% loss.
The rally has been spurred on by strong growth, on the one hand, and low interest rates, on the other–a condition allowed only because inflation has remained tame. That may be about to change, however.
The Philippines reported that consumer prices rose by 3% in January from a year ago, in line with economist forecasts, and near the bottom end of the range set by its central bank.
HSBC's Trinh Nguyen, however sees the risks of higher inflation growing. In a report this morning, he noted that January's increase was caused by a "sin tax" that boosted the prices of alcohol and tobacco prices–something that won't be repeated in future months. But investors shouldn't get complacent. He writes:
While the January headline inflation reading was benign and at the bottom of the BSP's 3-5% target, still high domestic demand, an unfavourable base effect, and strong signs of a global recovery suggest that upside risks to headline inflation are high.
Credit Suisse's Michael Wan also sees the possibility of faster inflation–but not until 2014, when he forecasts a 4.5% increase in consumer prices. The Philippine's central bank should also remain on hold until the first quarter of that year, when Wan expects it to hike rates by one percentage point.
The upshot: The Philippines' stock market should continue rallying, but be wary of unexpected inflation. When it comes, there will be a painful end to the party.
What's the key to investment success in Latin America in 2013? It may be economic reform, says Wells Fargo's Sean Lynch.
In a report to clients today, he notes:
Even though [Brazil, Chile, and Mexico] face on-going important structural challenges, this group of countries continues to pique investor interest. Looking ahead, we believe important government policy reforms hold the key to whether [they] create additional economic and investment opportunities, and the success of these reforms will help answer the question, "Can Latin American take the next step?"
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Lynch thinks it can. Here's his take on Mexico, which has already initiated labor reforms:
Nearly two-thirds of the Mexican government is in favor of passing additional reforms and next on the agenda are much-needed changes to energy and fiscal policy. The aim of these reforms is to make Mexico more competitive on a global scale and includes the privatization of state-owned enterprises, such as oil giant Pemex. While, initially, these reforms may not be material, they are targeting areas that were once considered off limits for the government.
The biggest risk may be a lack of economic diversification, Lynch notes. He writes:
While Mexico, Chile, and Brazil have improved their economic outcomes and investment opportunities by concentrating on particular commodities and trading partners, these countries today still wrestle with lack of economic diversification. Moreover, these countries also have to contend with political and social institutions generally not well equipped to counter the economic importance of a single commodity or trading partner.
His conclusion:
There are already signs that Chile, Brazil, and Mexico are preparing to take the next step on the path to sustainable long-term growth, but we will continue to watch these markets for confirmation of the positive developments necessary to keep them on this path. Our investment recommendations echo our long-term optimism but shorter-term cautionary view.
Reform has been good to investors in 2012–while lack of it has held other markets back. Mexico has pursued economic reform in 2012 and the iShares MSCI Mexico Investable Market Index (EWW) exchange-traded fund has returned 31% this year, more than the 4.6% return of the iShares S&P Latin America 40 Index ETF's (ILF) 4.6% return. Brazil, however, appeared to take a step back, and the iShares MSCI Brazil Index ETF (EWZ) gas dropped 1.5% this year.
Emerging markets have been synonymous with growth, but the outlook for individual nations is constantly changing. Countries from Brazil and Russia to Turkey face challenges including infrastructure bottlenecks, credit issues and political shifts.

Interesting fact: This home fell in value between its last two purchases – 1988 purchase price: $360k/ 1997 price: $327k. Adjust that $33k drop for inflation, and it's a real wallop. Today's start price: $995k.
Overall, though, the project is pretty daring for a speckie and for this location – steps from the armory and Sand Dune Park. 36th starts at $2.999m.
Interestingly, this home was put up for a pricing poll of sorts last year (really a guessing game) on Curbed LA, and, without being told anything, readers there thought the asking price was probably around $2.5m. (See MBC's story: "LA Doesn't Know MB" for more, plus links.)

Robert Carty: Serotonin Ashram
Carty continues to add nature sounds as a background, though unlike the previous album these are overshadowed by louder music. I especially like the sound of distant thunder (real? synthesized?) in track 2, "The Periphery," and track 4, "Medicine Quest." In track 5, "Extended Stillness," Carty travels a bit into Roach territory, with rattles and shakers, low chanting sounds, and "floating" electronic chords. But the sound is still Carty's, thanks to his harmonic choices which are quite different from those of the Tucson veteran. Carty ends the album with a sparkling Euro-rock piece that moves right along until it fades into a silicon dawn.
Robert Carty is more than just an ambient soundsmith, he is a composer, who knows how to vary pace, texture, and structure, and who is not afraid to unify an entire album by bringing back motifs from earlier tracks in the later pieces. So much ambient seems aimless, with little or no design behind it, which is why I enjoy the thinking behind Carty's music as much as I do his natural sound samples and clear harmonies. The cleverly titled "Serotonin Ashram" is an ambient achievement that deserves lots of listening.

The Massachusetts company that supplied the drugs that have caused 247 cases of fungal meningitis - including one in this area - should have been shut down by the Food and Drug Administration years ago, an expert with Public Citizen's Health Research Group said Thursday.
New England Compounding Center is a "compounding pharmacy" that operates as a drug manufacturer under an oversight framework intended for custom compounding of drugs for individual patient prescriptions, Michael Carome said.
It was the target of a warning letter from the FDA in 2006 for overstepping its regulatory bounds, but the FDA failed to follow up with an injunction or seizure that would have put a stop to the company's operations, which have led to 19 deaths recently, Carome said.
The FDA's regulatory authority over compounding pharmacies is more limited by statute than its authority over typical drug manufacturers, agency spokeswoman Sarah Clark-Lynn said.
"Compounding pharmacies and pharmacists are responsible for the quality and safety of the drugs they produce," she stated.
Compounding pharmacies actually have an older history than true drug manufacturing companies that operate under the FDA regulations for manufacturers, based on the 1938 Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, which gave the FDA approval authority over the manufacture of drugs and a 1962 amendment, which required new drugs to be effective, Carome said.
But compounding pharmacies - which include many regular drugstores, including mom and pop operations - declined in importance.
Beginning in the 1950s, they filled no more than a narrow niche, under regulatory oversight by state boards of pharmacy, he said.
That proper niche is to prepare prescriptions for individual patients who have an allergy to commercial medications, who need a drug that is not commercially available or who need it in a specialized form or strength, said David Ball, spokesman for the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists.
The FDA always claimed authority over such processes, saying they were subject to its approval for good practices, but used "enforcement discretion," and didn't press, because it would be impractical to force those pharmacies to go through complex approval processes for such limited activities.
But starting in the 1990s, some compounding pharmacies began expanding their operations, "behaving like drug companies," Carome said.
They began making drugs on a large scale, making large quantities of standardized doses and selling within their states and across state lines.
NECC was licensed in all 50 states, Carome said.
Its product list - published for a voluntary recall by FDA - is about 70 electronic pages.
For "whatever reason," NECC was permitted to continue operating, despite the 2006 letter, the injunction, seizure and criminal and civil penalties that might have been available, Carome said.
"What you see going on now is what can happen," he said.
He doesn't know specifically what happened, he said.
"But I think I know generically," he said.
If a company doesn't follow good manufacturing practices laid out in regulations under FDA, "it sets you up for all sorts of problems," he said.
The fungus that is causing the problem could have been introduced in any one of a variety of steps, Carome said.
It could have resulted in a failure to wear sterile gloves, it could have been spores floating into what should have been sterile vials, it could have been the failure of final sterilization, it could have been because the company didn't test the product for contamination, he said.
Not only NECC, FDA and state regulators, but Congress and the providers who bought products from such companies are to blame, Carome said.
One such provider was Allegheny Pain Management of Altoona, one of whose patients has contracted fungal meningitis from medicine supplied by NECC, according to the state Department of Health.
Maybe those providers don't fully understand the inadequacies in quality, Carome said.
Maybe they're driven by the wish to lower their costs, he said.
That widespread blame is likely to "ensnare" many through lawsuits that could go on for years, he said.
Asked whether Allegheny Pain Management could be at risk for disciplinary measures or penalties or whether it was under investigation, Health spokeswoman Aimee Tysarczyk said, "Our current efforts are focused on public health and patient safety."
The department has been monitoring patients who received medicines from NECC, Tysarczyk said.
The Mirror left a message for Allegheny's medical director after the facility closed Thursday, asking for comment on Carome's criticism, but didn't hear back.
Earlier in the day, a spokesman for the clinic spoke only cryptically about a TV report that there might be a second patient who contracted meningitis through NECC medications administered by Allegheny.
That spokeswoman, Practice Administrator Lisa McElheny, also was not forthcoming about why the clinic first gave reassurances that there was no problem when the news about NECC broke early this month.
A state Health Department spokeswoman speculated that it could have resulted from an early, widespread and mistaken belief that the only problematic drugs were in a manufacturer's lot that didn't come to the Pennsylvania clinics.
Dr. Robert Sullivan of Altoona said the clinic might not have known which samples came from which of three manufacturer's lots, and that such knowledge wasn't necessarily required.
Sullivan doesn't think the second patient has fungal meningitis, because his white cell count isn't high. But the patient is being monitored, he said.
Fungal meningitis can be difficult to diagnose, because the symptoms are not unique to meningitis, because indicator cells in the spinal fluid are not numerous and because the infection itself is slow-growing, Sullivan said.
Mirror Staff Writer William Kibler is at 949-7038.

Want to keep your own stingless bees? You can start by finding your own nest and transferring it to a box (see section below*). Or you can take an easy path and buy your first hive.
Only warmer climates from around Sydney north are suitable. If you live in Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania or southwest Australia, you are unfortunate, as social stingless bees do not occur in your area. I would not recommend sending them there as they would probably die in the winter. However, many solitary species occur there. See here (PDF, 209kb) about encouraging local solitary bee species in your garden.
The easiest species to keep in coastal areas between Nowra NSW and Bundaberg Qld is Tetragonula carbonaria, the common local species. We have hives of Tetragonula carbonaria available for sale. We also have a limited number of hives of Tetragonula hockingsi available for sale. This species is more suited to areas north of Brisbane.
Original Australian Trigona hive
An OATH (Original Australian Trigona hive) is good for splitting but not well suited for extracting honey (See below for the design for an OATH).
Honey OATH design
The honey OATH has an extra compartment on top, a honey "super", which allows you to remove honey with minimal disruption to the nest. Honey OATHs are just as suitable as standard OATHs for splitting or pollination. We recommend honey OATHs even if you do not intend to extract honey, as they have better insulation on the top, an optional storage area and so are generally better homes for the bees.
Here is a section of a honey OATH (made from 2 linear m of 25 x 200 mm softwood). It consists of a lower brood box (two sections: bottom and mid) and an upper honey box. All hive boxes are professionally made, built of hoop pine, nailed and glued, and painted (three coats). It is guaranteed to fit together precisely (important for sealing out natural enemies and climatic extremes), and to last for many years. The bottom of the mid section (where you split a hive) has built-in bars to prevent slumping after a split and to allow a clean split. The sections are held together with plastic strapping.
Our price is $550 for a Honey OATH hive stocked with a strong nucleus of bees.
For local pickup, we usually have hives available for sale at short notice. For orders outside the Brisbane region we may need up to 6 weeks to prepare a hive for postage.
To place an order contact us.
Payments are accepted by cash, EFT to bank account or PayPal.
Sending hives by Courier or Post
When mailing hives, we charge a postage and handling fee of $100.
We guarantee the survival of hives for one year as long as they are treated properly. If your hive dies, we will replace it, free of charge, upon return of the dead hive. Note that we cannot guarantee a hive that experiences temperatures of greater than 40C, receives direct sun after 10 am in summer, is kept outside their natural geographical range, is opened, is split, or has honey extracted.
Positioning your hive is important. They should be kept in a sheltered position. Generally, if you would be comfortable in a position all year round, then the bees probably would be too. A verandah is usually good as they are protected from the elements and you can watch them more easily. They must be protected from direct afternoon sun. They don't need much space, even a small apartment verandah is sufficient. If you want to put them out in the open, you will need to provide a roof. We supply a simple but effective roof for $15.
Empty hives
Price for a professionally made empty hive box (honey hive design) is $165. We also supply standard OATHs for $120. We recommend standard OATHs for transfers as they have only one gap for the bees to seal, not two.
Want to make your own box?
You will need 25mm thick timber. We sell the timber (hoop pine, cut to length), and plastic for brood excluder and splito bars, to make one honey hive for $50. Contact Dan Heard 0413 943 860 to arrange pickup from Taringa, Brisbane.
We also sell a flatpack of all the materials you need to make a hive cut and rebated for $80. The fourth option is to buy an assembled but unpainted honey OATH hive for $120.
Registering hives
There is no legal requirement to register hives of native bees in Australia.
*Removing hives from natural locations
Although there is no legal protection of native bees (except of course in National parks and all other protected areas), we strongly discourage you from removing hives from the wild. Chopping down a tree to take the bees is even worse resulting in a loss of both tree and bees from their natural environment. However we encourage the rescue of colonies from trees that have been felled as part of legal land clearing or tree removal on private land. At least then the bees are saved.

Two decades later, while a linebacker coach at Pennsylvania State University, he founded his own home for wayward boys, calling it the Second Mile.
The charity's name came from the collection of moral lessons from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, specifically from Matthew 5:41: "And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two."

Cytospora canker of spruce
The most common and damaging disease of spruces used for ornament or windbreak in the Midwest is caused by the pathogenic fungus, Leucostoma (Cytospora) kunzei. In central Minnesota, blue spruce sustains the greatest damage when this fungus kills branches and causes profuse exudation of resin from branch and trunk cankers. Unsightly dead twigs and branches persist for many years, although attack usually does not begin until the spruce are at least l0 to l5 years old.
In landscape nurseries, small branches of young blue and white spruce may be attacked and killed. All kinds of wounds to the bark allow this fungus to enter the spruce tree and cause disease. Drought predisposes spruce to attack by this pest. Control includes removing infested branches, avoiding wounding, and watering during drought periods.

I also forgot to mention, my NAT type always says Open, which doesn't make sense why multiplayer isn't working
What firmware version do you have on your D-link?
Greetings Azzurro!Appreciate if you could post up the make and model of your modem as well.Visit D-Link webpage and make sure your router (model number and hardware revision number) is up-to-date with the latest version of firmware.Could you run a diagnostic test to LIVE and let us know your NAT's behavior (Detailed NAT information). Here's how:
Thank you!
Could you access your router's Utility Interface. Go to Advanced and Firewall Settings. Make sure UDP and TCP Endpoint Filtering are set to Endpoint Independent. Save/Apply and reboot.
Thanks for the quick response everyone.
My DLINK DIR 655 is Hardware Version: B1 Firmware Version: 2.10NA
My modem is from Comcast, it is an ARRIS model CM820.
Okay I tested the multiplayer connection and still have the Teredo error, I went into detailed info, and for NAT information it says "Your network is behind a firewall or not connected"
I went into my router and i made sure to set the endpoints to endpoint independent. Nothing changed, still having the same error with the same NAT info.
I've also read a little about putting the modem into bridge mode? i'm not sure how or if it'll work though
There is no need to bridge your modem!Could you visit D-Link website and make sure your router is up-to-date with the latest version of firmware.Could you go to firewall settings on your router and disable/untick SPI Firewall. Scroll down from the same page and make sure IPsec is ticked enable.Make sure UPnP is enabled and that you don't have manually forwarded network ports used by Xbox LIVE (Port Forwarding). The same applies for DMZ (turned off).Save/Apply and reboot your router.Keep us posted!
Azzurro I'm practically in the same boat you are. Same modem, same router, same everything. With any suggestion given nothing seems to work.
Try looking in your IPv6 settings and set, "My IPv6 connection is" to local connectivity only. I think this will enable the Toredo tunnels.
Thanks again guys, I will try everything as soon as I get home from work!
The Toredo tunnel is a way of providing IPv6 connectivity on an IPv4 network, so most of the time those issues are in your IPv6 configurations and are separate from NAT issues. I hope this helps Azzuro and please let me know.
Okay so I just tried changing the IPv6 to local connectivity, still didn't work =\
I also already had SPI firewall unticked and IPsec is ticked as well.
I believe the router is up to date. Any other ideas?
just received an update for cod ghosts, took about 4 minutes, i played 1 whole game without lag (that's one more than i have been able to play for the last 4 days, and 1 game with minor lag but didnt get kicked. i hope they fixed whatever it was!
Hey gawd, I don't have cod for the x1, I have battlefield4 and it also did have an update today. I can play if I browse servers, but if I hit quick match it won't connect. And fifa14 is still finding an opponent, then disconnects and says connection has been lost with them... This teredo thing is driving me insane. I'm thinking maybe it's the arris modem
And now that I think about it, everything worked fine until the system update not too long ago...

We honestly believe that you should check out this show and hope our bosses do as well. How great would it be if we became the manager at an office in India? We don't imagine our expertise are really called for there, but it would still be pretty excellent -- dosa is so incredibly inexpensive there and we love our dosa. Have you ever had a dosa? It's this flat, thin bread and is often filled with truly excellent potatoes and then topped with chutney and a spicy sambar. It's probably not terribly healthy for you, but it is so incredibly delicious and worth the trip to India all by itself.

I'd like this person to be local (hence I'm emailing the local Linux user's group), and I'd like to meet with this person before hand. An NDA is required (as we're dealing with clients' information), and trust worthiness is an absolute must.

Requirements:

Experience in CentOS CLI with specific experience configuring and maintaining LAMP stack environments, including (specifically):

Sign an NDA & noncompete (you won't steal my clients - of course you're welcome to work in the industry on your own stuff... just don't steal my clients)

Postfix + Amavisd-new + DoevecotĀ

Apache

PHP

MySQL

BIND

Some knowledge and common sense in server & private-key security

The following experience is preferable:

Drupal + Drush

Including installing, configuring, and updating Drupal core as well as contributed modules

Wordpress

SSL certificates

CSF (A firewall platform I like to use)

Nagios

It goes without saying that SSH / CLI experience is necessary. Now obviously many of you possess these skills. I realize that. I'm not looking for the Einstein in server administration. I'm just looking for a reliable person I could contact (and put my clients in touch with) in case I'm sick, travelling, etc...Ā

Duties would include:

Monitoring the servers (I use Nagios for alerts, and soon, will likely be added a 2nd Nagios server for distributed monitoring).Ā

Responding to problems (which occur rarely)

Keeping all information you are provided completely safe and confidential

Cleaning up the mess if the unthinkable happens (I die or get deathly ill)Ā

Yeah, this is a morbid thought. I don't plan on dying any time soon. But I care about my clients, and want to make sure there's good contingency plans in place in case I disappear of the face of this planet.

Email me your resumes and references if you're interested. Again, this wouldn't be a lot of work ... it would just be on an as-needed basis. And if I call you up, and you're not available for weekend X, then no big deal - I'll find someone else... I just want a good team in place.

Thanks,

David
