Michigan State's deep quarterback pool grew even deeper on Thursday night with the commitment of Chris Durkin, of Youngstown, Ohio, according to 247 sports.
Durkin, a 6-foot-4, 216-pound Class of 2014 prospect, is reportedly on the Spartans' campus through Friday morning. He also had offers from California, Illinois, Indiana and Northwestern.
Durkin's father, Chris Durkin Sr., confirmed the verbal commitment on Thursday night to 247 sports.
"About halfway through (today's) practice, and we had already sat through team meetings, quarterback meetings and now we're on the field and Christopher walked over to me and smiled at me and said dad I think I'm home," Chris Durkin Sr. told 247 sports. "He said lets lock this up."
Durkin Sr. told 247 sports that Michigan State told his son that they like the style of quarterback he plays, and it's the direction the program plans to go at the position.
Ranked by the 247Composite as the nation's No. 11 pro-style quarterback Durkin becomes the third commit for Michigan State in the class-of-2014, joining linebackers Deon Drake and Byron Bullough.
Rivals.com, which also reports the verbal commitment, rates Durkin as a three-star prospect.
Interestingly enough, the Spartans recently signed quarterback Damion Terry in the Class of 2013, who is more of a dual-threat quarterback.
Michigan State's current three-deep at quarterback consists of Pro Style QBs Andrew Maxwell (senior) and Connor Cook (sophomore), and mobile redshirt freshman Tyler O'Connor (redshirt freshman).
According to Durkin Sr., Michigan State has told him and his son it is only signing one quarterback in the Class of 2014.
The Spartans, it seems, are positioned to play the best quarterback, regardless of their mobile prowess.

How does genomics differ from genetics?
Genetics is much more linear than genomics, complicated but not as complex as genomics. There is a whole lot more we need to understand, some of which we are only beginning to get glimpses of. It is exciting, but humbling to realize how much remains to be learned.
Doing (a few of) the numbers: The scale of genomics and bioinformatics
Current bioinformatics and chemoinformatics methods of analysis and interpretation are having difficulty keeping up with the rapid growth in sequencing data. New technologies such as microarrays (and advances in existing ones such as mass spectrometry) are leading to rapid growth in new terminology. An even bigger challenge then new vocabulary is the conceptual shift from classical genetics to a more dynamic genomic big picture understanding of genomics, functional genomics, proteomics and structural genomics.
DNA sequences are essentially linear snapshots. In the human genome less than 2 % of the DNA is genes. To understand genes' functions we need to look at 3D protein structures, and to begin to decipher physiological processes we need to examine changes in gene and protein expression over time (4D). Our knowledge of genetic variations is still sketchy and crucial to an understanding of the role these differences play in pharmacogenomics. Will genomic approaches lead to faster drug discovery and development? How can we sort out the incremental advances from the true paradigm shifts without experiencing information overload?

Stock Market Today: Bulls Take Charge as Stocks Rally
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The markets aren't about to hit a big road bump and will stay resilient in the face of negative headlines. Don't get caught on the wrong side of the trade; stay focused to the upside.
The major U.S. stock markets were stronger on Monday in anticipation of a heavy week for economic events and as jitters over Ukraine eased a bit. Sound economic fundamentals continued to be in play on Monday after the NAHB Housing Market Index for August rose to 55, the highest reading since January. The number of stocks rising with the market far exceeded the number of declining stocks by a ratio of about four-to-one on the New York Stock Exchange and more than three-to-one on the Nasdaq -- 145 issues were making new 52-week highs vs. 12 creating new 52-week lows. The tech-heavy Nasdaq hit a more than 13-year high on Monday on a 0.96% gain by this economically sensitive sector. The leaders were Apple

"Both the intermediate and longer-term technical picture of the market remains bullish. We have not seen any uptrend violations that would suggest otherwise," said Piper Jaffray technical market analyst Craig Johnson.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was gaining 1.04% to 16,836.21. The S&P 500 was tacking on 0.83% to 1,971.36. The Nasdaq was higher by 0.89% to 4,504.38. The major U.S. stock markets edged off their worst levels of the day in the final hour of trading Friday and finished the week higher as fears about Russia-Ukraine were balanced by signs that the U.S. economy appears to be on track for a solid, sustained recovery.

Ceasefire hopes ensued Monday after Russia said that Russian and Ukranian foreign ministers who met in Berlin over the weekend have reached an agreement to allow Moscow's controversial humanitarian aid convoy into rebel-held territory. The White House said it has not been able to confirm the reports from Friday that Ukrainian troops partially destroyed a Russian military convoy.
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is expected to provide more insight into the speed of the labor market recovery at this week's annual meeting of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyo. from Aug. 21 through Aug. 23. Market watchers are also hoping that she will address the question of whether the central bank will eliminate ultra-low rates by early next year in the wake of rising inflationary pressures. Shedding further light on the economy and the Fed's rate hiking blueprint this week will be the release of the July consumer price index and July housing starts on Tuesday, the FOMC minutes on Wednesday, and existing home sales for July on Thursday.

Hi Radek,
Thanks for your response. I am new to erlang and have spent a fews days trying to compile and install MongooseIM with no success. The process generates a few errors which I am not able to understand or fix. I have thus decided to revisit this at a later stage when I have a better understanding of the various components.
I have thus opted to go the route of installing the precompiled MongooseIM package, which installed with no problems. Could I ask if you could please provide an example of how to enable the parse transform on the module which does not require compiling the MongooseIM source code.
Many thanks

Farmers feel ripple effect of state's diminishing water supply
POCATELLO, Idaho - The state's water resources are running dry.
This week the Idaho Water Resource Board is meeting to discuss ways to prevent a water shortage crisis from hitting the state.
On Tuesday the board met with the Natural Resource Committee in Boise over its concern over the lack of water in the state before speaking with Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter to discuss coming up with a program to study the sustainability of water.
Board Chairman Roger Chase said the diminishing water supply is a huge issue in southern Idaho since the state might have to face cutting off some of the water supply for farmers. If this happens, the potato and sugar beet crops could be impacted the most.
This could also be disastrous for the economy as well, he said.
"Those are two of the most important commodities we produce in this area and if the farmers do well, car salesmen do well, and grocery stores do well," Chase said. "It is really a tough situation for us, and we are hoping for moisture, and the outlook is not good."
Chase said this year, Idaho only saw a total of 12-inches of moisture. This is so low, even the American Falls Reservoir is down by 20 percent since the previous year.
Some of the options the board is discussing with the state are building a new water storage location, raising the dam or finding ways to add excess water to the reserve aquifer sitting below southeast Idaho.
On Thursday, the board will head to the Henry's Fork, where members will look at potential sites to see if it can expand one of the reservoirs up there.
Chase said there are some towns in Idaho that are at their threshold with how much water they could use. If they exceed that amount, they would most likely have to borrow from other cities, or take from the aquifer's reserve supply.
Irrigation districts are even now starting to shut off, so farmers' production is already down for a lot of cities.
According to Chase, the water supply in the Lake Erie-sized aquifer has been diminishing significantly over the years, making it more expensive to drill down and tap into that resource.
Raymond Matsuura is a potato farmer in Blackfoot who said his production is down this year as well due to the drought-like conditions.
He said he and some of his farming colleagues are creating a system called "precision speed variable irrigation" to try to help conserve water.
Basically, this system uses a device which is placed on the pivot, which could then tell how much water should be dispersed and where, taking into account the type of soil being used.
So far, Matsuura said, this is in its beginning trial stage, but an effort to save water nonetheless.
Chase said this is the worst drought Idaho has seen in decades, and the important point for people to note is to just be more conscious when using water, while trying to conserve as much as possible.

On the importance of using fluid grids as part of responsive web design:
We do responsive web design, but we don't do it for the sake of being trendy. We do it because we believe it's the way websites should be made. This is an opportunity for us to finally embrace the dynamic medium we build for. The web is not fixed width.
More documentation of a responsive redesign, this time from Trent Walton. Be sure to check out the FitText jQuery plug-in that was created as a result.

Did you notice that Upcoming recently switched from liquid to fixed? Have your say about that here.
Dave redesigns. And before I could bash him for his wide fixed width layout, he went and added a Jeremy Keith Button® on his about page that toggles between liquid and fixed. Cheeky bugger.
Roger hits the nail on the head: "fixed widths are used for the wrong reason - designer vanity. Come on, you're designing for the Web, which means it's your job to let things be flexible when you can."
The devil can cite scripture for his own purpose... and now I can cite Nielsen: "...use a liquid layout that stretches well for any resolution, from 800x600 to 1280x1024."
Andy Rutledge proposes a new design for Amazon, saying "Many of these issues can be fixed and/or addressed by adopting a fixed layout." What a load of bollocks. Try doing a liquid layout right.
This is something I always meant to do but never got around to: a gallery site for good liquid design.
I've been suckered into another debate on fixed width layouts: "Discussing whether 800 is better than 1024 is like discussing whether Coke is better than Pepsi when all you really want is a nice drink of water."
Roger Johansson details his elastic design.

Getting the call to the Hall on Saturday were linebacker Derrick Brooks, punter Ray Guy, defensive end Claude Humphrey, offensive tackle Walter Jones, wide receiver Andre Reed, defensive end Michael Strahan and defensive back Aeneas Williams.
Greene, the NFL's career leader among linebackers with 160 sacks, was a finalist for the third time.
Brooks never missed a game during his 14-season career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A six-time All-Pro selection and member of the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 2000s, he was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2002. He averaged a remarkable 146 tackles. Six of his 25 interceptions were returned for touchdowns, including a league-record three in '02. He holds Tampa Bay records for tackles in a game (23), defensive TDs in a season (four), career starts and games, and tackles (2,196).
Guy becomes the first full-time punter to earn election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. An impact player throughout his entire 14-season career with the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders, he was named All-Pro six straight years. The Southern Mississippi product averaged 42.4 yards, falling under the 40-yard bar only during the strike-shortened 1982 season. Only three of his 1,049 punts were blocked, and he set an NFL record with 619 in a row without a block. He had 209 punts downed inside the 20-yard line, including 77 in his final three seasons.
Humphrey was named first-team All-Pro five times and earned six Pro Bowl nods during his career with the Atlanta Falcons (1968-1978) and Philadelphia Eagles (1979-1981). Although not an official statistic at the time, he is credited with 122 career sacks. His 14.5 sacks in 1980 helped the Eagles reach the Super Bowl.
Jones stepped into a starting role as a rookie and excelled as one of the game's finest tackles during his 12 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. A member of the NFL's All-Decade Team of the 2000s, he was named All-Pro six times and voted to nine Pro Bowls. He was one of the chief road graders who helped Shaun Alexander rush for 266 yards in a 2001 game — the fourth-highest total in NFL history — and then rush for a team-record 1,880 yards and 28 TDs in his MVP season in 2005.
Reed caught 951 passes for 13,198 yards and 87 touchdowns in his 16-season career. He hauled in 50 or more passes in 13 seasons, which ranked second at the time of his retirement. He had nine consetuve 50-catch seasons and played in four consecutive Super Bowls with Buffalo.
Strahan recorded double-digit sack totals six times in a nine-season span including a NFL single-season record 22.5 sacks in 2001. The one most people remember is the record-setter in the final game of the regular season, when Green Bay's Brett Favre seemed to lay down on a play late in the game. A five-time All-Pro pick, he amassed 141.5 sacks in his 15-season career with the New York Giants.
Williams, a four-time All-Pro and eight-time Pro Bowl selection, intercepted 55 passes for 807 yards and nine touchdowns during a 14-season career with the Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals and St. Louis Rams. Williams shared the NFL record for longest fumble return with a 104-yarder for a touchdown against Washington in 2000, his last year with the Cardinals. He started at cornerback for the Rams in the 2001 Super Bowl and played safety in his final two seasons.
The Selection Committee started Saturday's meeting by debating the two senior finalists, Guy and Humphrey. Both candidates were required to receive at least 80 percent of the vote to earn election.
Next, the committee debated the 15 modern-era candidates. The first cut trimmed the field to 10, with kicker Morten Andersen, receiver Tim Brown, contributor Eddie DeBartolo Jr., coach Tony Dungy and safety John Lynch eliminated. After one last round of discussion, running back Jerome Bettis, Greene, defensive end Charles Haley, receiver Marvin Harrison and guard Will Shields were eliminated.
That left Brooks, Jones, Reed, Strahan and Williams, who all received the necessary 80 percent of the vote to be elected. They will be inducted on Aug. 1 in Canton, Ohio.

Is any one has experienced in Creating product category hierarchy in SRM7.0?
Also how we can replicate the material group hierarchy from ECC to SRM7.0?
I have exactly the same question re creating the product category hierarchy in SRM 7.0. How did you resolve it in the end?
According to SAP OSS it is possible to create a hierarchy in ERP and replicate it to SRM (ref OSS note 369384).
I am waiting for any experienced Gurus to help me.
Is indeed material group hierarchy exist in ECC ?
I believe you can create own custome hierarchy in SRM and upload programs rather bring from ECC .
it becomes source system of product category becomes SRM system thats all
you need development for this . Business has to provide hierarchy list and excel file and upload in to program and it must seen from COMM_HIERARCHY TRANSACTION.
BUT ONE BAD STUFF HERE , you can not change this again and you need to upload all atuffs again and deactivate above old ..
Hi all,
How are you?
I´ve seen some scenarios where clients have product category maintained in R/3 (SPRO / Logistics - General / Material master / Settings for key fields / Define Material groups).
You can use LSMW to create product categories.
Then you have to replicate those categories / Material groups to SRM. You can do this by Midleware (transaction R3AS). You can see hierarchys in srm at transaction comm_hierarchy.
Hope this helps,

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, existed as a thriving Judean city during First Temple Times, a recent find by Israel Antiquities Authority archaeologists confirms.
"This is the first time the name Bethlehem appears outside the Bible in an inscription from the First Temple period, which proves that Bethlehem was indeed a city in the Kingdom of Judah and possible also in earlier periods," said IAA archaeologist Eli Shukrun, director of the excavation at the City of David where the small clay seal was found.
Three Hebrew words inscribed on the seal -- bishvat, bat lechem, and a part of the word l'melekh -- indicate it marked a tax payment sent from Bethlehem to the king of Judah, who would have been either Hezekiah, Manasseh or Josiah.
Shukrun explained the seal designated a tax shipment, which "could have been paid in the form of silver or agricultural produce such as wine or wheat." The Bible speaks of Bethlehem Ephrathah in Genesis 35:19 and 48:17 and again in the Book of Ruth (1:2; 4:11), which is read during the upcoming festival of Shavuot (or Weeks). Ruth is mentioned in the genealogy of the Messiah in the first chapter of Matthew's Gospel.
Shavuot is celebrated 50 days after Passover, which the New Testament calls the day of Pentecost, when the early disciples were imbued with power from on high.
"When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." (Acts 2:1-4)
1 Samuel 17:12 records that Jesse, the father of King David, is the "Ephrathite of Bethlehem Judah," while the prophet Micah foretells that the Jewish Messiah would be born in Bethlehem.
"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting." (Micah 5:2)
The biblical history confirmed by the tiny clay seal serves as further evidence of the historical accuracy of the Old and New Testaments.

Karen Intemann's '63 Dodge 330 Lays The Rubber Down
Some cars look wicked-the stance, wheel and tire combo, and paint all come together to create a sinister vibe. In this case, the look is just plain evil. We spotted this black Mopar while trolling the pits at the Mopars at the Strip show in Vegas. It sat between two trailers as if poised to strike.
Karen and Jeff Intemann first laid eyes on their '63 Dodge 330 while attending the Route 66 Rendezvous car show in San Bernardino, California, back in 2001 when they happened to park Jeff's '63 Polara next to it. Karen fell deeply in love with the big, black B-body and expressed a desire to own it. Husband Jeff promptly reminded Karen that their garage didn't have room for three cars, so her '55 Bel Air would have to go. A month later the '55 was sold, and the 330 had changed hands.
The car was in nearly the cosmetic condition you see here, but mechanically it left much to be desired. Karen had Stock Eliminator racer Don Little perform his magic on the roller-cammed 440 residing under the hood, while Len Schneider of Hayward, California, revamped the 727 transmission. Don Little also went through the 831/44-inch rearend to make sure it was up to the task at hand. With the mechanicals in order, a quick trip to Sacramento Speedway netted a string of 12.50 timeslips at a buck-thirteen, with the drag radials struggling to lay down the 500-plus ponies.
The Intemanns have made a great car even better. Not only does Karen's Dodge have the look, it also has the bite.
Car Craft Q&ACar Craft: We understand you got rid of a Tri-Five Chevy in order to buy this Dodge. Was it a tough decision?Karen Intemann: Yes it was, but I had to have the Dodge once I saw it. It was a little bit nicer and a little bit faster than my husband Jeff's '63 Dodge. We had a room in our house that was half Chevy and half Mopar with regard to the decorations. Jeff's glad that I've converted, and now the entire room is decorated in a Mopar theme.
CC: Both you and your husband Jeff have '63 Dodges. How does Jeff deal with the fact that your car is faster than his?KI: Actually he says his car is faster than mine because I'm still a bit scared of it. I'm afraid to put my foot all the way into it, but I'm working on it and I'll get there. So I guess his is faster by default-only by default.
CC: How frequently do you drive your Dodge?KI: I drive it about once a week, weather permitting. Mostly I drive it to local car shows and cruises. I'm hoping to take it to the track again this summer.

Sheila, I am a totally satisfied customer, I'm soo proud I could follow your instructions and it looked like it's meant to look. I probably used the a heavier yarn.

Archimedes Pharma, a British specialty drugmaker that spent the past four years expanding across Europe, now is setting up operations in Bedminster as it prepares to launch its first U.S. product.
After raising $100 million earlier this year, privately held Archimedes is moving ahead with plans to seek approval from federal drug regulators to market a nasal-adminstered form of fentanyl to treat severe bursts of breakthrough cancer pain.
While the state's largest pharmaceutical companies, such as Johnson & Johnson and Merck, cut employees as part of large-scale corporate downsizings and mergers, Archimedes and other small drugmakers stand to benefit as they assemble businesses from scratch.
In the case of Archimedes, the company has already hired a dozen people, including its top managers. As many as 75 more people are expected to be hired through the start of next year, ranging from human relations employees and regulatory officials to medical affairs personnel and sales representatives.
"We're in a growth phase,'' said Jeff Buchalter, who was hired away from Enzon to be chief executive of Archimedes' U.S. operations. "We're in a hiring mode.''
Buchalter said the labor pool and the state's employment incentive program were two of the biggest reasons Archimedes Pharma chose to locate its offices to New Jersey.
"We looked at Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey, and it became pretty clear that this was the place to put the company,'' Buchalter said.
Archimedes Pharma is awaiting approval from the Food and Drug Administration to sell the decades-old fentanyl as a nasal spray. There are two other reformulated drug prospects in the company's pipeline, including a nasal form of epomorphine for Parkinson's Disease.
"We plan to take a drug that everyone knows and market it with a new delivery system,'' Buchalter said of fentanyl. The company's technology will allow cancer patients to squirt the drug into the nasal system for faster relief from bouts of break-through pain.
Remaking pain drugs comes with its own challenges. In the past three years, controversy has surrounded the use of some time-release fentanyl patches as a result of fatal overdoses and product defects.
Buchalter said the company will give the FDA proposed mechanisms for minimizing potential abuse of the powerful pain drug and try to alleviate other concerns regulators might raise about a nasal formulation.
The age of the medicine, aside, Wall Street analysts see healthy prospects for reformulated pain drugs such as fentanyl.
"Reformulations of conventional analgesics will drive the overall growth in the acute pain market — from $16.5 billion in 2008 to nearly $22 billion in 2018,'' analysts with Decision Resources wrote in research note. The reformulations "will offer much-needed improvements in safety, tolerability and ease of use compared with currently available products,'' they said.

Objective. —
To determine whether the high mortality among diabetic patients receiving treatment for hypertension can be explained by associated risk factors or must be attributed to a deleterious effect of antihypertensive treatment.
Design. —
Cohort analytic study with a median follow-up of 4.5 years.
Setting. —
Outpatients with diabetes and severe retinopathy who were enrolled in a multicenter, randomized clinical trial of laser treatment to prevent blindness had ophthalmologic examinations every 4 months and annual medical examinations that included measurement of blood pressure and recording of anti-hypertensive treatment. Only 5.5% of the patients were unavailable for follow-up. When a patient died, the circumstances surrounding the death were reviewed and classified by a mortality review committee.
Participants. —
There were 759 participants in the study; they were white, were aged 35 to 69 years, and had normal serum creatinine levels at the baseline examination.
Measurements and Main Results. —
Patients were classified into five groups according to information recorded at the baseline and first annual follow-up examinations: normotensive (diastolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg), untreated hypertensive, hypertensive treated by diuretics alone, hypertensive treated by other agents alone, and hypertensive treated by both agents. Cardiovascular mortality was higher in patients treated for hypertension than in patients with untreated hypertension. The excess was primarily found in patients treated with diuretics alone, although that group had the lowest blood pressure with treatment. After adjusting for differences in risk factors, cardiovascular mortality was 3.8 times higher in patients treated with diuretics alone than in patients with untreated hypertension (P<.001).
In individuals with diabetes, intervention with diuretics to reduce hypertension is associated with excess mortality. Until there is a clinical trial showing a beneficial effect of diuretic treatment in diabetic patients, there is urgent need to reconsider its continued usage in this population.(Arch Intern Med. 1991;151:1350-1356)

in english its called search function mate
do a search for dasa
Any place that can sell/buy second hand books? Something big, I've found a small store on Khaosan, but nothing interesting to buy.
In my language we call them 'anticariat', these second hand book stores, I've tried to find the meaning in English but there none. Google translate tells me "antique store"
"Never argue with an idiot; they'll bring you down to their level, then beat you with experience."
in english its called search function mate
do a search for dasa
Serial Wolf Bagger
My favourite is also dasa.
It's fairly big - as second hand bookstores go.
I haven't been to the new location. Looks good, judging by the photos.
Dasa Books (????): Bangkok's Best Secondhand Bookshop - Used Books in English and other languages ??? ?? ? ?
Dasa's the best i've seen, but there's a place across from Emporium (in that little subsoi directly across the street from the pedestrian exit in the dept store) that's pretty good and often gets some fairly interesting stuff in spite of its small size, chaotic floor plan and lack of interior decorating vision. there's also one not far from Villa on Suk that's pretty big but every time i've been there it's been crap and seems to cater solely to people who like overly thick novels about lawyers or cops or spies or soldiers.
i always forget that Dasa moved, when i go there it just seems different somehow, but i can't put my finger on it, sort of the way things are just a bit off in dreams...
I'm yet another fan of Dasa. Some places demand a lot of second hand books. Often a new copy from Kinokuniya isn't much more expensive.
Can you buy a kindle in Bangkok? I'm considering one too.
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his _________ depends upon his not understanding it!"
I also want to buy a kindle....I like physics books which are not too easy to get in Thailand.
speaking of Dasa, they have a search function--they track their books in a database. if you dont' see something on the shelf (sometimes used books are like keys on your table, if you want 'em badly enough you can look right at 'em and not see 'em). good place, haven't tried their cappucino yet though.
Bangkok is a wealth of used/second-hand bookshops of every sort. Sure, sure - the ones that are well known, etc. But the number of littler known shops are the real treasures. With a little understanding on how to use a search engine and play with keywords, one can locate most of the lovely large and small bookshops that spread themselves throughout BKK metro. Try Google Thai.
if you read Thai there are a lot of good options, if not, then i've not seen many good ones... with most of these shops you'd need to get really, really lucky unless you're searching desperately for the collected works of John Grisham.

Soulstice Theatre delivers shimmering 'Memory of Water'
Coming from north by northwest, take I-794 to Howard Ave. Make two quick lefts and you've arrived at the St. Francis-based digs of Soulstice Theatre, home to a tiny, gutsy troupe which - when the stars align, as they often do - offers a night out that can rival much of what's available downtown, at half the price.
The constellation appearing on the Soulstice stage right now - in a production of Shelagh Stephenson's "The Memory of Water," under David Ferrie's direction - is definitely worth the trip. »Read Full Article

With the twitch of a smile and a twinkle in his eye, Moses' ordinarily prim Jane make clear that calling Nicodemus on stage just then simply isn't possible. »Read Full Article(1)

Hi Schatze, welcome to the forum! I started primal in the beginning of August and have seen some fantastic changes. It is a great way to achieve food zen and feel comfortable with your body. I hope that the benefits continue to increase for you!
Hello! What a great idea to post journals here.
My name is Schatze and this will be my record of meals, exercise, ups and downs, hobbies, random tidbits and observations of each day. Thank you for reading!
First of all, I've been following this way of eating for about 4 weeks.
For the last 6 weeks I've been losing weight - a total of 12 pounds as of today. (I'm 5'4 and have gone from a high of 152 to 140 this morning, yay!)
Most of that loss has been in the last 4 weeks since eating primal. Not a big surprise.
My goal is to eventually be back to my healthy, lean weight of about 115-120, which I haven't seen since I was 25 or so. I'm 31 now. So far I'm off to a good start, and feel really great!
veggie frittata with spinach and tomatoes
2 patties of turkey sausage
herbal tea
(from the cafeteria at work)
Lunch: leftover salad from last night with:
Rotisserie chicken, romaine, cucumber, bacon, Gruyere cheese, carrot, cabbage, slivered almonds, and an olive oil/balsamic vinaigrette.
Dinner: TBD
Later tonight I'll fill in my food journal for the last 5 days. I stopped counting calories/macros Sunday of this week. Before that I was averaging 40-60g carbs, 80-120 grams protein, and about 50% fat. As long as I keep losing I'm not going to worry about calories, which is WAY different for me, but it seems to be working so far.
Dinner -
One mashed avocado, a can of albacore tuna, a can of spicy fire-roasted tomatoes, garlic, and a whole diced English cucumber. And a few cashews.
Wow, this was GOOD!!! It seems like such a weird (and not very pretty) mixture but it was just what I was hungry for.
This is what the earlier days this week looked like:
B - coffee, 2 eggs fried in coconut oil
L - Fage 2% yogurt
D - steak, mushrooms and zucchini sauteed in butter,
salad with olive oil/balsamic, 1 glass of red wine
B- coffee
L - Romaine and cucumber salad with chicken and olive oil/balsamic
D - Salmon sauteed in butter, cabbage with bacon, 2 glasses of red wine
B - coffee
L - Romaine and cucumber salad with leftover salmon, Fage 2% yogurt
D - Baked chicken breast with a "dressing" of chopped veg, walnuts, apple, prunes
B - coffee, 2 eggs fried in coconut oil
L - Fage 2% yogurt
D - BIG SALAD: rotisserie chicken, bacon, romaine lettuce, cucumber, onion, cabbage, slivered almonds, shredded carrot, olive oil/ balsamic, 2 beers (boo)
Tonight I'm headed out for cocktails. I'll probably have one or two 'vodka-something-or-others'. This place specializes in Pre-Prohibition style cocktails, so they are pretty strongly flavored and good for sipping.

Thank you, catbreu!
Last night I had 2 cocktails - the "vodka something or other" also had lemon and elderflower liquor in it, and another I tried had rye whiskey, cognac, bitters, and absinthe. This morning I discovered that mixing cocktail ingredients is...not such a great idea. :P Two of the same and I probably would've been fine. Ah well, I learned my lesson! Now that the headache is gone I'm doing okay.
Breakfast: Out! I had:
Omlette - with spinach and onions, topped with hollandaise sauce. The hollandaise was a GREAT idea! I wanted eggs benedict but obviously not the bread. What is the point of eggs benedict without the sauce? So, ordered some on the side and poured it over the omlette instead. It was awesomely good.
Also, an order of bacon
Lunch/Snack: Also out, as I was wandering all over downtown on this beautiful fall day.
I ordered a 16oz carrot juice with lemon and ginger. I didn't think that would be very "carby" but it had 44 grams.
Might go out to a friend's place tonight. If so, we might watch Rambo. I <3 Rambo! I think I've had a crush on that Sylvester Stallone charachter since I was about 12. Yes, as a little girl I watched "Rambo, First Blood" many, many times. My husband thinks that's hilarious.
If we head out there...maybe I'll make chocolate covered bacon as a treat...
3 boiled eggs
big bowl of cauliflower "fried rice"
~3 mile walk
I gained a couple of pounds back after the weekend - that's no good! It's probably just temporary but I need to be careful. My goal for the end of October is to be down to 134. I'll re-double my efforts to eat well and try to strongly limit alcohol, fruit, dairy, and nuts.
2 eggs
2 slices bacon
1 can salmon
shredded romaine
olive oil/balsamic
beer-braised port loin with thyme and garlic
(from the crockpot)
green cabbage and carrots sauteed with butter
53% fat, 23g carb, 88g protein
"Beer-braised port loin" What was that about not drinking? I have a chunk of pork in the freezer that I need to figure out what to do with. This is a possibility . . .
Welcome! And I'm jealous of the pre-prohibition bar you've got. Elderflower liquor? Awesome!
Harumph! Those two gained pounds haven't budged.
3 fried eggs, tablespoon of butter
scoop of chicken salad
Planned for dinner later:
buffalo chicken drumsticks
veg...probably sauteed cabbage again.
Got a HUGE bag of shredded cabbage and carrot (aka, coleslaw mix ) from Sams. Sauteed cabbage in butter is quickly becoming a favorite side item.
EDIT - I'm just having the chicken for dinner. It smells so good! Had 2 spoons of peanut butter while I'm waiting.
Fat 68%, 8g carbs, 89g protein

By U.S. ArmySeptember 20, 2013
ALBANY, Ga. -- Two experts at keeping military fighting forces supplied and ready exchanged their experiences and ideas earlier this month.
Gen. Dennis L. Via, commanding general of the U.S. Army Materiel Command, visited the Marine Corps Logistics Command in Albany and met with its commander, Maj. Gen. John J. Broadmeadow on Sept. 12.
"This was a great opportunity to share information and look at more ways for us to collaborate in the future," Via said. "Our collective goal in supporting the joint warfighter calls for us to establish more interoperable capabilities."
AMC is the premier provider of Army and joint readiness to sustain the nation's strength. The command develops and delivers global readiness solutions to sustain unified land operations.
This was Via's first visit to the Marine Corps Logistics Command and also marked the first visit to the organization by a senior Army leader in recent history.
The meeting provided an opportunity to follow up on the support the Army Materiel Command already provides to the Marine Corps, which includes work at some of the command's depot maintenance facilities and in theater.
Discussions highlighted the common interests of both services and delved into topics such as the pre-positioned stocks that each command maintains. As the Army's Lead Materiel Integrator, AMC maintains strategic --level equipment sets ready for world-wide operations. The leaders noted that strategic prepositioning of materiel and equipment is a key component of global agility and increases operational reach of the Joint Force.
Other topics of discussion included the retrograde of equipment from Afghanistan. The Army is currently moving about 97,000 container, 45,000 vehicles and more than 3 million individual pieces of equipment out of the combat environment.
Via invited Broadmeadow for a reciprocal visit to the Army Materiel Command so they could continue the collaborative effort.

Why snack? If you are eating a healthy, primal breakfast, and a good lunch, why snack?
I personally go from 5am breakfast + buttered coffee until noon lunch without a single hunger pang. Lunch is more of habit than necessity, and I have no trouble going from noon until 6pm for dinner. This is way, way different than it was when I was not eating Paleo/Primal.

"I began to wonder what would happen if men everywhere embraced their God-given destiny to defend and protect the vulnerable women and children in their communities. What would happen if, in addition to unleashing their strength, skills and passion on the sports field, in the office or behind their computer screens, and they discovered their true masculinity by answering this call to arms and action."
–Daniel Walker, God in a Brothel
The words "God" and "brothel" in the same book title strike a provocative take on the role Christians have in fighting the darkest of human tragedies. Daniel Walker, an undercover investigator in the field of sex trafficking and committed Christian hailing from New Zealand, reveals the successes and pains of serving on the front lines of a battle both physical and spiritual. Readers are led on a Mission Impossible like journey from South Asia to Latin America and even the United States to retell of what is taking place behind the scenes to restore freedom to today's slaves.
The structure appeals to both those with a love for well-told narrative as well as the facts behind the stories. Each chapter unpacks a real-world account of a Walker operation followed by a list of "facts" on the topic, ranging from sex tourism to organized crime.
Walker captured my attention early in chapter one when he questioned, "I began to wonder what would happen if men everywhere embraced their God-given destiny to defend and protect the vulnerable women and children in their communities." Here, his longings connected with mine, as my personal work and writing to stand against human trafficking have challenged my past lack of action and forced me to act in ways that have likewise called others, especially the Church, to increased awareness and involvement.
Yet Walker's passion is somewhat his one key weakness in the book. The narrative communicates like a film where the reader is walking the dark alley or entering the brothel as a hero. While effective in story telling, it would be wise to add the disclaimer applied in many television commercials, "Do not attempt."
Many of Walker's undercover activities are far beyond what the everyday reader could duplicate and would cause more harm than good. Further, he claims in the final chapter that "…compared to other crimes it is relatively easy to effectively combat." With estimates by experts of 27 million slaves or more, and many of these in sex trafficking situations, this statement appears a gross understatement.
Despite the limitations of God in a Brothel, its message is clear and effective. I found myself personally inspired once again to commit to the task of standing for those living without freedom due to the bondage of sex trafficking. Likewise, I discovered in Walker a common voice calling for a generation that will not only grow more "aware" of sex trafficking, but "act" to change the situation. If other readers grasp and apply this message, the goal of seeing fewer people as sex trafficking victims will occur.
This is not light reading or entertainment to pass the time. God in a Brothel is an example of one person pursuing freedom for those without. May its words compel many others to do the same.

Glad i picked this rack! They don't sell it as or make any claims about this being any more secure than other racks, but after using it I can't see any way for anyone to steal the bike or a wheel! The loops appear to prevent that. IMHO. As far as going in a restaurant and leaving your bikes out of sight i personally don't worry. Between the lockable loops and the cable that locks into the cam and the lock on the hitch pin. IMHO. Heavy, an aluminum version would be perfection!!!!

Stocks were trading mixed on Wall Street Wednesday, threatening to end the market's longest winning streak since July, as investors waited to see if the confrontation with Syria can be resolved peacefully.
A big decline in Apple stock dragged down the Standard & Poor's 500 index, while the Dow Jones industrial average rose.
The flattish trading followed two days of strong and widespread gains. After a tough August, stocks have risen in recent days, including six days in a row of gains for the S&P 500.
Now, though, "There are people that are cautiously waiting to see if any kind of geopolitical scenario develops, negative or positive," said Stephen Carl, head of equity trading at The Williams Capital Group.
The S&P 500 index was down three points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,681 in late morning trading. The Nasdaq composite fell 18 points, or 0.5 percent, to 3,711.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 47 points, or 0.3 percent, to 15,238.
Apple fell $28.85, almost 6 percent, to $465.70 a day after the company announced two new iPhones. Apple stock fell on Tuesday, too, after rising 11 percent in the month leading up to the announcement. Some analysts felt that Apple's lowest-priced iPhone — $549 without a two-year cell phone contract — isn't cheap enough to win many buyers in emerging markets.
Among the 10 industry groups in the S&P 500, six fell. Tech stocks had the biggest declines.
Traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange observed a moment of silence shortly before trading began on the 12th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Companies making big moves included:
— Restoration Hardware, down $5.27, or 6.9 percent, to $70.79 after reporting second-quarter sales that were not as strong as the first quarter.
— Disney rose 81 cents, or 1.3 percent, to $63.64 after the company said it would delay its fifth "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie from a planned 2015 opening. Studios struggled with big-budget flops this summer, including Disney's "The Lone Ranger," and investors may be glad that it will take its time with the "Pirates" sequel.
— IBM rose $3.64, or 2 percent, to $190.20 after it said it would sell a customer care outsourcing business to Synnex for $505 million in cash and stock. Synnex rose $9.73, or 20 percent, to $57.70.
Overseas markets were mixed. France's CAC-40 and Britain's FTSE edged lower, and Germany's DAX edged higher. The Nikkei in Japan was flat.
Oil prices rose 27 cents to $107.67 after two days of declines. Gold fell $3.30 to $1,361.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.96 percent from 2.97 percent a day earlier.

On October 30 and 31, the dead will be remembered. Just in time for Halloween, an old, more somber holiday celebrated in Hispanic cultures is due for its celebration.
The founders of Red Hydrant Press Studio, Alynn Guerra and Carlos Aeeves, have put together a mini-print exhibit featuring several artists, with affordable art and a traditional altar being the focus.
"In our culture, it's one of the more important days of the year," Guerra said. "It's festive, but sad. It's to reflect on people who have left you, and things that have ceased to exist. For me, it's cycles of life."
She said that the visuals of this holiday can be stunning. Day of the Dead, which has ancient indigenous origins in Mexico, is celebrated with altars, bright colors, festive food, and parades, but it's accented with a Halloween vibe. Man-made skeletons wear brightly colored dresses, and many more people paint themselves as the dead, and while the day is beautiful, there also hangs a quietness as participants remember friends and loved ones.
In 2008, Guerra held an exhibit around the same time of year, including artists' general thoughts on death and dying, and allowed more variety in medium. This year's festivities are only for Day of the Dead, and all of the artwork has to be channeled into a nine-square-inch print.
Sarah Scott, a curator for the Heartside Gallery, participated in the event last year, and will channel her philosophical musings on death to this exhibit.
"I was thinking not about the act of dying, but the aftermath," she said.
Her inspiration came from the children around her. Recently, she overheard a four-year-old ask his mother about what happens after death. His mother asked him what he thought, and he immediately said he thinks people come back as alligators, then mice in a grocery store, and then become babies inside a belly again.
In Scott's half-finished print, two gators sit poised on the ground, the larger having a look of protecting the smaller. She intends to make two more prints, for the grocery store dwellers and the pregnancy.
"I wanted to show a very honest response—simple, untainted," Scott said.
It's Guerra's hope people will learn more about Day of the Dead and perhaps gain perspective on how other cultures see it. She is excited to see what artists generally outside of the culture contribute with all having to "be ready to be surprised."
This free exhibition is October 30 and 31, from 5 to 10 p.m. at Red Hydrant Press Studio, 314 Straight Ave. SW, door M. Anyone wanting to submit art has until October 18. For more information, call 808-0092 or visit http://web.mac.com/alynnguerra/Red_Hydrant/home.html

Iran has taken advantage of the recent Mideast upheaval and sent two warships into the Suez Canal Tuesday for the first time in 30 years.
Canal officials confirmed the ships were on their way to the Mediterranean Sea. Israeli officials said the passage of the two vessels is provocative and commentators said it's a challenge to Israel and the U.S.
Iranian television announced Sunday that the two Iranian warships had already passed through the Suez Canal and were heading for a Syrian port.
However, Egyptian canal officials said they had delayed the vessels passage until Wednesday. It would be the first time since 1979 that Iranian warships have passed through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean Sea.
Israel said it was closely monitoring the situation. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his cabinet on Sunday that Israel gravely views this controversial Iranian step.
"We can see just how unstable a region we live in -- in a region where Iran attempts to take advantage of the current situation to advance its influence by passing two war vessels through the Suez Canal," Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu said this and other developments showed Israel's defense needs and its defense budget will grow.
Radical Islamic Iran and western-backed Egypt have long vied for supremacy in the Middle East.
Pro-democracy protests in Egypt toppled the long-time government of Hosni Mubarak on Feb. 11.
The Egyptian military is currently ruling the country and Iran would like to see the country transition into a fellow Islamic state. Also, Egypt may have moved a step closer to becoming an Islamic Republic last week with the return of popular radical Islamic cleric Yusef al-Qaradawi from exile.
Iran said its ships were heading to a Syrian port for a year-long training exercise. The country's news agency also reported the Iranian navy plans to send its whole fleet of warships through the Suez.

- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
- Triscuits or other crackers
- Spread chilies onto the bottom of a greased 8-in. square baking pan. Pour eggs over chilies; sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted. Cool slightly; cut into squares and serve on crackers. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 3 dozen.

Chelsea Flower show trip
I used Tripadvisor when choosing this hotel.
The generalised comments from previous guests were validated during our stay- the staff were very helpful and polite, the room was clean, tidy and well appointed (microwave). As highlighted the room was slightly on the small side. The hotel location was great - a very pleasant walk through Kennsington and along the Thames Embankment to the Chelsea hospital.

Booked through Laterooms.
We were put in a basement room with no natural light. It smelt damp. Disappointed.

Business Trip to London for 2 nights
Very clean and efficient hotel within good access to Transport links and City Mile.
Clean rooms and very comfortable with good breakfast choice. If I had any very minor suggestion the Business Lounge could have been a little larger. Very good value for money hotel.

For the price that I paid for the room, I do not believe this was value for money.
Receptionists were helpful, however my big problem was the room. The room given to me was situated in the ground floor, upon arrival I noticed the room was incredibly small. Upon closer inspection only one person could open the wardrobe at a time, the windows were extremely filthy, with pigeon poo on the outside of the windows, black dirt and grime across the window sill (looking like it hasn't been cleaned in a while). Sleeping wasn't enjoyable as the Pigeons were purring all night, the smell in our room was awful, heating did not work, lack of ventilation (Being in the lower ground floor contributed to that)
For the price that I paid I expected a better quality room, the lobby floor was dirty, as well as the surrounding fixtures in the passage was in need of an upgrade. In as much as it was a one night stay, I expected a much better service for the price that I paid (£84 in total)

Nice Hotel
I booked this hotel using LateRooms and made and advance purchase, I was contacted by the hotel the day of arrival and was asked to swap hotels to Park Grand Paddington and because of the inconvenience breakfast would be included free of charge.
On arrival we had a small problem as the hotel had been booked and paid in full but the new hotel had me down as non payment, this took a few minutes and phone calls to sort out but all was good in the end. My room was in the basement with a frosted glass window not allowing and view, however the room was very quiet and very smart with a lovely walk in shower.

Premium Hotel with affordable prices!
What can I say.
On arrival we were told we had been given a free upgrade. Room was simply amazing - very modern; Super king bed, mini-bar, fruit, fridge, microwave, chair with footstall, lovely bathroom with bath, regular shower and a rain shower. For £81 I was gobsmacked. Would definitely stay here again.

Good central location, helpful unobtrusive staff. Room clean, comfortable and serviceable. Gd value.
Quality accommodation.
Valued the small details such as magnifying mirror in bathroom plus main mirror not steaming up. Small point, a smaller wash basin would provide bit more space for toiletries . Also, the panel for zzz informing housekeepers of room occupation is great idea and useful yet if used the red light in hallway is reflected in the fab full sized mirrors whilst in bed so was a little tiresome. Particularly as the hotel is obviously trying to cater for clients comfort. Also very small point, housekeeping didn't notice to change the time on microwave clock on morning of clocks going forward. Was surprised by this because the hotels attention to detail is very apparent. Hope you find this feedback helpful.
