This definitely triggered the bloat response, but did not trigger my body's response to deal with the bloating. I just felt more bloated. I realize this may work for others.
Hylands Nat Mur - Brilliant
Reviewer2942512发表于 8月 27, 2008 | 已验证购买
I use nat mur to help with a dry mouth, hylands is a brilliant brand, small pills that melt in your mouth, very easy to take and because they come in bottles of 1000 pills they are a very good buy, and worth having a stock of the whole range of cell salts in the home to use as needed. Unfortunatley being an International customer I was then charged a further $47.00 by DHL to deliver my parcel, other companies deliver by post and customs have never charged to have the parcel released and they still arrive in about a week to 10 days, I don't see any need for DHL and because of this added charge I have found a different company to purchase my Hylands cell salts from. However I was very happy with the prompt service I received from iHerb and the prices and customer contact were very good. I was eager to order my next batch until I got the extra charge from DHL.

Experimental: Detachable balloon
Fetuses treated with endoscopic tracheal occlusion
Device: Fetal tracheal obstruction with detachable balloon (device)
Other Name: Goldvalve Balloon, nFocus Neuromedical, Inc.
Detailed Description:
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) has traditionally been associated with very high mortality rates. Most infants died of pulmonary hypoplasia and severe pulmonary hypertension. This led to correction of CDH and pulmonary hypoplasia before birth. Unfortunately, maternal morbidity of open fetal surgery was significant and fetal mortality was very high (>60%). Moreover, the results of postnatal therapy for CDH improved dramatically, from less than 20% survival several decades ago to more than 70% today.
Fetal intervention has evolved as well, to a minimally invasive approach that involves a single endoscopic port and occlusion of the fetal trachea. While this has considerably decreased the morbidity and fetal mortality of the in utero procedure, its results do not exceed the overall (i.e., non-stratified) results of contemporary postnatal treatment. Most recently, a multicentric cooperative study under (Eurofoetus) has conducted a clinical trial comparing postnatal treatment with endoscopic fetal tracheal occlusion for the most severe forms of CDH. Results of the Eurofoetus trial and of a recent retrospective review involving European and North-American centers have shown the following: 1) It is possible to identify a specific subgroup of fetuses with CDH in whom survival can be predicted to be less than 10%, despite all current methods of postnatal treatment, 2) Survival of fetuses with predicted postnatal survival of 8% was >50% following endoscopic fetal tracheal occlusion, and 3) Fetal tracheal occlusion in that group resulted in an increase in lung size (LHR), from an average of 0.7 pre-intervention, to 1.7 post-intervention.
Based on the available research literature, the results of the Eurofoetus trial, and this institution's experience with endoscopic fetal surgery, we hypothesize that in the highest risk group of fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, where chances of survival is estimated at less than 10%, endoscopic fetal tracheal occlusion in late second trimester, with reversal of occlusion in mid-third trimester, allows catch-up lung growth and maturation and converts the condition into one with intermediate to good prognosis (predicted survival 50-60%). We propose to offer this form of treatment, under an FDA-approved Investigational Device Exemption (G080077), to eligible patients, on a case-by-case basis, after discussion before a multidisciplinary board.

Training Diary: April 1
- Written by Dave Walsh
It's all about the little things.
The pivot on your foot. The rotation in your hips. The placement of your hand after the jab. The step through on your punch. The little things.
Last week's entry led to a great discussion in the comments about these sorts of issues. As a result, they were fresh in my mind this week, and as fate would have it, they were also a big theme of this week's training. I started the week paired up with a new sparring partner – one who was considerably above me in terms of experience. This ended up being a great thing, as he went out of his way to give me very specific pointers on ways to improve my form – all of which were very helpful and most appreciated.
The only difficulty is – there are just so many little things to remember. Let's take one combo we worked: a relatively simple jab/cross. Combining instructor Andre's pointers with my partner's tips, I ended up with this list of things to watch for:
1. On the jab, snap my hand back up into place after the punch in order to protect my head.
2. Keep my hands a bit off to the side of my head, not right in front as boxers do.
3. On a double jab, don't bring the first jab back all the way, and step forward as you bring it back so that the second punch has more forward motion.
4. Give a small pivot on the foot to the jab.
5. On the cross, pivot my whole body, especially in the hips.
6. Bring the cross back right away.
I think that's it for this 3 punch combo, though I'm sure as I get these down there will be more to add to that list.
When I write them out and think about them one by one, each seems simple and easy to execute. But when throwing the combo at anything resembling a decent speed, it becomes much harder. I get in my head and before I know it, I've remembered to bring my hand back, but the second jab has come and gone and I forgot the step. Clearly the key is to drill, drill, drill. Put these motions into your muscle memory so that your brain doesn't need to do the work – your body does it for you. I suspect that will come, and I look forward to it – because right now I can't possibly imagine adding responding to an opponent's moves into the mix. And luckily, I don't have to. For now, I'll keep my mind on the hips, the pivot, the step, the guard, the... well, the little things.
For those of you who have been training, I'm sure it varies quite a bit from person to person, but when did you notice yourself getting out of your head and letting your body guide these motions more?
And one more highly practical question for the day – best way to wash hand wraps?

So the things I have checked other than the replaced parts: Checked base timing w/est unplugged- Set for 6 deg. advanced Checked all vacuum lines Checked injectors w/timing light - spray pattern is rough but even So now I am not sure what to look at...... The only other things I can think of are the MAP, IAC and TPS...but not sure. Any help is appreciated.

Living in Houston all my life, I'm finally getting a chance to see a game at Wrigley Field which sits at the top of my "Baseball Meccas I've got to see in my lifetime" list...
I've got one shot; I've got to do this right... Looking for suggestions from local Cub fans as to what are the things that I MUST do to enjoy the experience as much as possible.... Things that I'll be able to share with friends when we exchange drunken "oh yeah, well I've..." stories... The preliminary list I've put together to this point is:
- drink/eat at Cubby Bear's or Murphy's Bleachers
- try to chase down a batting practice homer on Waveland.
- pick up a "Wrigley Field, since 1914" t-shirt at the shop across the street
- get pictures of the red marquee and me with the red marquee
- see a day game (3:05pm fortunately!)
- sing "Take me out to the ballgame" during the stretch
- shoot Jeff Gordon if I see him anywhere near "Wrigley Stadium"
I'll be at the 3pm game on 7/15 against the Mets, who I absolutely detest (Astros fan, 1986 damnit)... I've got to be at O'Hare by about 7:30ish for my 8:50 flight back to Houston, so I'm planning to leave at 6ish or after the 7th inning stretch, whichever comes later.
"Cub Fan for a day!"
"Wrigley Field fan, always."

The Pick Up: If She Flips Out

Three steps to deal when she ups the emotional ante.

There is no man in the world who doesn't understand exactly what another man means when he says, "She's crazy."
There's a reason for this. Women feel most emotions much more strongly than men, and they also tend to be more influenced by hormones, anxiety, social pressure and so on. The prettier she is, the more likely she is to be a bit nuts sometimes. Don't blame her. Blame everyone else in her life, male and female, who treated her differently because she's attractive—and not always in a positive way, either.
(I'm not trying to give men a free pass. Guys can be as frustrating and incomprehensible to women as women can be to men. In fact, my book for women addresses this—order it for your single female friends here—and most women certainly don't feel like they have it easy in the dating world.)
Here is your three-step survival guide for "crazy":
She has to "get out" whatever is bothering her. It's been proven over and over that women generally solve problems by talking through them while men usually prefer to suppress or avoid them. So let her handle things in her way. Show her that you are listening. You might be able to hear her just fine while you're checking e-mail, but she won't feel listened to. Stop what you're doing, look her in the eye and don't interrupt. She should start calming down already.
Don't focus on the specific points she is making—especially if some of them are "wrong"—but rather on the emotions behind them. For instance, if she's giving you crap that you were out all night with your buddies and you didn't call even though you promised you would, she's not actually upset about the missed call. She probably feels that you don't value her or respect her as much as she'd like and is using the "missed call" as a way of communicating this.
This is really important, and it's something that's easy for guys to mess up. Our brains naturally want to find the logical truth behind an issue. But even if you could prove that you never promised to call last night, you won't have solved anything. If she is feeling devalued, she will feel defensive about your calling her out and move on to another example of a time you didn't appreciate her. This is consistent with her emotional truth but can be incredibly frustrating to men, who often interpret this sort of behavior as her "causing drama" or "picking a fight" or … "going crazy."
In this example, you might say something like, "If I'm hearing you right, you're frustrated and feel that I'm not always as attentive as you'd like me to be. Am I right?" If you're not right, ask for her help and keep trying until she gives you an explicit "yes" that you have it right. Maybe she's upset because she feels she can't trust you to keep your promises, or because you never invite her along when you go out with your friends, or whatever.
Keep rephrasing until you get it right. For one thing, you can't solve a problem you don't understand properly. For another, the neutral conversation trying to put her emotions into words will itself decrease the emotional tension and let her feel more in control of the situation (or "less crazy").
Just going through this process and being able to express and validate what she is feeling should solve most small problems most of the time. She might say something like, "Yes, I did feel a bit ignored. I appreciate that you can understand that." Or, "Yes, I did feel a bit unappreciated, but it seems kind of silly/I'm over it now." Even if you're not totally home free, you might be within range—it's a pretty easy and logical step to tell her you don't want her to feel unappreciated and that you do appreciate her, for example.
I'm not saying be a pushover. If it's important to you to address an issue, now (not before) is the time to do it. Starting from her emotions makes the process a lot easier. For example, "I'm sorry you feel disrespected. That's not how I feel about you at all. If I'd known you were waiting for me, of course I would have called. This has come up a few times now and I'd like to solve it. How about next time you're expecting me to call and I don't, you just call me and we clear up any misunderstanding right away?"
Of course, conflict-resolution skills won't save you if you really did screw up. No woman is going to say, "Thank you for understanding that I'm pissed off that you slept with my best friend. I feel all better now". But even when you really screwed up—actually, especially when you really screwed up—you're going to get to a solution a lot quicker if you start by letting her vent, listening for her emotional truth and then neutrally testing and refining your understanding of her emotions until you and she are on the same page. It won't save your ass, but it'll give you a fighting chance.

Home > Product Catalog > Closures > Pumps
Pumps come in different styles, with different functions, finishes, locks and dispensing volumes. We have just about any pump you could need: specialty pumps, treatment pumps, foamer pumps and airless pumps are just a few of the options available.
Loading Catalog Results
PumpsNot all pumps are created equal, and there is a reason for that. It's the same reason that not all products are created equal. What works for some, may not work for others. That's why it's important to test a pump's compatibility with your product. If you need the tube length on the pump pre-cut we can also do that as well (fees may apply).
The history of pumps is an old one. As far back as 2,000 B.C. Egyptians invented what they called a shadoof. Almost two centuries later Ctesibius and Archimedies would invent the water organ and screw pump respectively. The next evolution of pump would not be seen until 1475 when a renaissance engineer would invent a centrifugal pump. After this, new inventions and designs would be improved upon steadily until we have the modern pump technology we have today.
Our pumps may not have fancy cutting edge pump technology. But, there is no disputing that they get the job done.

Pulaski Technical College's Theatre Department will present several performances of The Piano Lesson on April 26-28 at the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center, 501 W. 9th St., Little Rock.
Showtimes are 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 26, and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Friday, April 27, and Saturday, April 28. Admission is free, but tickets are required due to limited seating.
Tickets are available from the Division of Fine Arts and Humanities on the college's Main campus in North Little Rock at 3000 West Scenic Drive. For more information, call the division office at (501) 812-2338.
Pulaski Technical College theatre instructor Sheila Glasscock will direct the play, written by August Wilson, who won the 1990 Pulitzer Prize.
Set in Pittsburgh, the play looks at the displacement of African Americans from Mississippi who have migrated north without coming to terms with their southern past. The struggle is expressed through a brother and a sister who fight over a piano that their great-grandfather carved for a white man. The brother and sister have jointly inherited the piano, which has exquisite carvings depicting the family's journey from Africa to living in slavery on a southern plantation. The play's resolution suggests that claiming and transforming the suffering of the past into cultural artistry is necessary before Americans can creatively and productively participate in the present.

text: Hey y'all, I've seen a few topics that address this in different ways but none with the same basic symptoms as mine...all shifts nice and firm, but absolutely no lockup. This is a used 4l60e with it's TC out of a mid 90's K1500 pickup. I just installed it as-is into my 95 K1500 Sub. All I did was replace front pump seal, change filter & fluid, & wash it off. Shifts great, but no lockup whatsoever. I checked all the electrical connections & read alot...so it looks like I need to plug up the scanner & make sure the PCM is sending a lockup command? And if it is, I need to replace the TCC Solenoid, right? Sounds easy enough...someone tell me if I'm wrong here... Please and thank you

I knew the second I agreed to go on this trip with my sister that my journey would take me to Africa. I mean, if I'm going to be on that side of the world anyway (not really as it turned out), I might as well stop in to see an old friend.
This trip would have been just an Australasia one, much like my sister's, had it not been for Danny. Not that I didn't want to visit Africa, but having my good friend in Rwanda definitely moved it up a few notches on my destinations list.
Danny works for the U.S. State Department as a diplomat and as such, his tours of duties only last about two years in each embassy/consulate. So my window of opportunity to visit him in Africa was getting slim.
My first impression of Rwanda was much like that of entering a grand opening of a new mom and pop restaurant. It was clean, relatively new, and there was a nervous excitement in the air. But like a new restaurant, it was a work in progress and you can tell whoever owned the place beforehand didn't take great care of the place.
To give you a very brief history, in its most recent past, Rwanda is known to the outside world for the infamous 1994 genocide that resulted in the deaths of up to 800,000 Tutsis and Hutu sympathizers, adults and children alike.
I remember when it happened I was in college and I thought it was just another tribal war in Africa (as if tribes were always at war out here). I think most of the world thought this same way too, and thus no one ever came to their aid.
I've come to learn that though Tutsi and Hutu were originally tribal names, today they have evolved to become not much more than just that - a name to describe an archaic class system. Tutsis were historically more educated and made up the aristocracy, while Hutus were the remaining majority.
Prior to the genocide, however, the two "tribes" were very much integrated (I refrain from saying culture because Hutus and Tutsis shared the same Rwandan culture) so during the genocide, this meant neighbors were killing each other and even families were killing each other. This was not civil war. This was madness.
To give you some perspective, the urban capital city of Kigali was the site of most of the killing, though the genocide spread throughout the rural countryside and all over the nation. Kigali has many suburban neighborhoods with homes much like America. So, imagine your long time neighbor who borrowed your weed whacker just a few months ago coming over to kill you with that same weed whacker because some crazed lunatic on the radio said so.
Current President Paul Kagame led the rebellion that ended the genocide. According to Danny, he has since done all the right things to help heal Rwanda. He did away with the Tutsi and Hutu designations (it's actually impolite to speak of it), and instilled a culture of national pride. I believe his job to be tougher than that of Abraham Lincoln.
It still boggles my mind to think about what happened here. I wish I knew more of this history before I arrived. Alas, like much of the rest of this trip, I was flying by the seat of my zip-off pants. I did feel fortunate to have my history class set in the middle of where it all happened. I bet kids in Boston and Washington D.C. feel the same about American history (riiight).
My first lesson in Rwanda was that there were no ATMs here. There was one machine in downtown that looks like an ATM, but it's really just an empty machine in a strip mall waiting for a bank to come be its owner. The only way to get money here is by cash-advance at a bank. You put your credit card down they give you Rwandan Franc.
Luckily for us, we were staying with two local big wigs who were, how do you say, rolling in it? (well by Rwandan standards at least) Though Danny and Aimee spotted us a few thousand francs for our first day, we ventured into town the next day to find this cash-advance place so we wouldn't have to use their money.
Danny's house was originally a ridiculous gazillion room mansion when he first arrived. It was way too spacious for him and his girl Aimee and they both described the place as haphazard as Shelley Long's Money Pit (probably to obscure a reference for most of you).
They eventually moved into a more reasonable 3 bed/2.5 bath ranch-style estate (though still complete with gate, gardener, security guard, and housekeeper). Don't be too impressed. Every expatriate and government official here has a gated home and guard, though it's more for privacy than security.
Kigali is not a dangerous place by any means. You can thank President Kagame for that. Aimee told me a story of one day when her purse got stolen. She reported it to the local police and when they discovered she was a government official, her purse was returned with everything intact. This case had more to do with Rwanda's public image than with Aimee or Danny's place in the government.
Since the genocide, they have become very concerned and diligent about presenting a positive image to outsiders here. Men walk around in slacks, and long-sleeve button-ups even on the hottest days. And unlike other developing countries to which I've been, aside from one or two postcard or phone card vendors I was hardly harassed at all.
Their new house was a 15-minute walk to work but they still drove. Too hilly I guess. The house looked as if it was built in the same period as the Brady Bunch home and it rested on a hill with the backyard overlooking the Rwandan countryside. It was a nice neighborhood and only two doors down from the Canadian embassy. Take off, eh!
Sure, it wasn't as lavish a place as most diplomats are accustomed, since they are expected to entertain dignitaries after all, but Danny was never one to give a rat's ass about such luxuries.
He does care about his job though. As a U.S. diplomat, he is an advocate for American foreign policy charged with protecting American citizens abroad, and bolstering American business throughout the world.
He's already served two years in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and will be done with two years in Kigali at the end of this year.
I think I picked about the worst week to come visit Danny. On top of his normal hectic duties, he had some kind of coffee conference to plan, a big foreign official in town, some baskets import/export deal to set up, a tennis tournament to play, and by the time I was scheduled to leave, Danny was also leaving for his own vacation back to California and Mexico.
For most, seeing the gorillas (made famous by Sigourney Weaver in her movie about the apes in some kind of mist) is THE thing to do in Rwanda. You spend all day searching for the gorillas and when you find them, you only get an hour before you have to turn around and go home.
At roughly $500, it's by far the most expensive thing to do in Rwanda and I decided my money was better spent on Mutzig (Rwandan beer) and beef brochettes (the only truly delectable dish served in central Africa).
Many of my favorite times on this trip haven't cost me a penny. One of my fondest memories from Kigali was the four-mile trek back to Danny's house from the Genocide Memorial in Gisozi. I could have taken a taxi but I wanted to get lost - the best way to really discover a new place.
Over hills and through the alleyways of mud hut neighborhoods, I crossed busy streets with no names full of bustling locals either staring at me or walking in countless directions seemingly aimless. And when I say, "stare" I mean these folks really know how to hold a gaze. Aimee tells me they're not trying to be rude, that it's just a culture thing.
Luckily, it didn't take too long before I found myself in unfamiliar territory. I knew the direction I needed to go, but many hills, neighborhoods and tangent roads stood in the way. I was officially lost.
In my perplexity, one little schoolgirl took special interest in this wayward foreigner. She couldn't have been more than seven years old, and I think she was by herself on her way home from school. She decided to follow me for a few miles. I guess it's OK for kids to walk with strangers here, because the locals didn't seem to think too much of it (though I'm sure they don't see an Asian dude walking around with local school girl too often). I do know I'll never forget her curious smile.
I tried to strike up a conversation with her but we settled to walk around aimlessly in silent company instead. I shared my orange with her. I called her my guardian angel because by the time she waved good-bye a good hour had passed and I had my bearings again. I waved back to her and went on my way back home.
Home. That's such a relevant term these days. Thanks for having me, Dukes. I'll see you at the next embassy/consulate.

Lemme guess. It won't cycle.
Hello Anyone here have made a claim for a defect in a saiga 12 shotgun with Russian american armory? I would think they would honor a warrenty repair for a problem. Thanks IRONMULE
My Saiga 12 cycles good with all ammunition I used. I see my 19 inch barrel has 3 gas port holes for recocking, it works well. The older Saiga 12 had two ports that those don't work with light or trap loads.My three gas port barrel shoots the light trap loads from Walmart just fine. I have a defect.I have a cross pin exposed inside the bore next to the 3 gas port holes. I see that the gas block has been drilled and pinned into the inside of bore, the pin has a hump which my shells are clearly hitting, just like a speed bump on the road. I can't believe this. I emailed Russian American Armory Company about this defect on Monday which was holiday, by Tuesday morning I got email reply quickly and instuctions to ship gun for warrenty work to Cadiz Gun Works. I was told about 20 to 30 days turn around time.I'm happy with the service so far. IRONMULE
I only had one instance when Mine didnt want to cycle, but I think it had more to do with the mag??
A few months later, I loaded up some trap loads and mag dumped all 10 of them, no probs?
Problem solved?
That's the 2nd one I've heard of with a pin that entered into the bore. Interesting.

Project Pink - the Pink and Blue AK-74:
The factory must have had the machines off specs for drilling the gas blocks. Everybody with the Saiga 12 should look inside the bores and be sure you don't have a pin exposed inside the bore. Warrenty will cover that.I think many people have cycling problems cuz they may have two gas port holes in barrel instead of three gas port holes.My friend had two ports in 19 inch barrel instead of three port and he can't cycle the lite loads.I hear that three gas port holes is correct for 19 inch barrels and two gas port is for 24 inch barrels.Warrenty will cover the error in gas ports. It doesn't hurt to look in barrel and see what you have then have it corrected.IRONMULE
You got one of those "Vodka" specials. I was told that a small production run got mistaken with the rifle set-up which is why it got 2 ports instead of 3. Cadiz Gun Works is the official warranty repair shop for all RAA Saigas. Yours is not of the few. There have been many.
For others wondering, the older guns use to have 4 small ports. This later got updated into 3 larger ports. However the problem ones were the guns that got 2 ports. So if you find you only have three, don't panic, its okay.

Depending on what you are cutting, uniform rough sawn lumber is pretty much a pipe dream. You may get uniform thickness in plantation grown, properly thinned hardwoods, but naturally grown trees are NEVER uniform, and the wood quite often moves while being sawn. Ever watched a 12" flitch bow while you cut boards off it? I have, many times.
Not only that, only perfectly quarter sawn lumber every shrinks uniformly while drying, and even then will sometimes go wonky.
Wavy bandsawn lumber is a result of improperly sharpened or tensioned bands or over-feeding (just like a small bandsaw re-sawing, any excess pressure results in the blade being forced off true), but even then those little portable bandsaws are nowhere near rigid enough to keep that small band from following the grain. Just the nature of the beast. Large stationary bandsaws can wander, too, I've found.
Naturally, a decent sawyer should be on the lookout for this kind of stuff, and saw appropriately. If you have a flitch that won't saw clean one way, flip it. Keep the log set so that the grain is as straight as possible down the log, etc. Helps a lot to know what you are doing, and keeping in mind the nature of wood, a skilled sawyer will get you much better lumber than someone who's sloppy or careless!
My brother had a FoleyBelsaw circle mill for more than 20 years, sawed quite a bit of lumber on it. Learned a lot, too, the hard way.

Outsourcing of Security
The reason for this is that whilst looking after the security of the network there are some parts, namly our VPN link, that are not in control of us and we have limited access to view the concentrator logs.
I am wondering what others think as i am of the opinion that if you are going to our source it should be all or nothing, depending on the size of the oranisationand resources available. The reason for this in my case, historically, was that there was not the skill base in-house to cope with this.
I find it increasingly difficult to work on keeping a network secure when there is a grey area that i have no access to that connects to the internet.
Having sneaked a look at the config of the firewall that the 3rd party controls, i have become increasing alarmed as although our request for changes have been actioned there are several inconsistances that give me concerns as to how it is managed.
The main problem i see with outsourcing of security devices in pieces is that you have to assume that the other party are doing a good job. We have on many occasions asked for a config of the devices but trying to find someone willing to give it out is very hard.
I just think that without knowledge of the internal network it is very difficult for a 3rd party to be able to work efficiently, plus the fact that any changes required take time to do and are chargable even when testing so simple tests tend to turn into a headbanging exercise of paper configs and working it though step my step to see if it should in theory work.
There is a movement to trasnfer these devices back to internal control, led by me due to the remote connection becoming more critical.
Anyway after my rant i feel better but my main point is that i have to make sure the network meet accredication standards that are high but how can anyone say the perimeter is secure when there is this grey area?
Even with external testing of the devices you have to assume that the config of devices is updated and kept locked down, but without access how does anyone know and if you have access to the config would it not be easier to do it yourself.
I can understand smaller companies needing to outsource such services due to manpower and internal resource but is there any place for this in mid-larger organisations?
Correct me if i am out of order on this.

Obama: Biblical principles prompted me to push for Dodd-Frank and Obamacare
posted at 1:20 pm on February 2, 2012 by Tina Korbe
This morning, at the National Prayer Breakfast, Barack Obama cited Scripture as justification for his policy agenda — from reforming health care to ensuring that financial institutions play by fair rules to taxing the rich. BuzzFeed's Zeke Miller reports:
The president said he often falls to his knees in prayer, and emphasized the role of his religious values in determining where to lead the country.
"I'd be remiss if I stopped there; if my values were limited to personal moments of prayer or private conversations with pastors or friends. So instead, I must try — imperfectly, but I must try — to make sure those values motivate me as one leader of this great nation."
Obama maintained that his call for the wealthiest to give up their tax breaks, he's doing so out of economic necessity, but also in line with biblical teachings.
"And I think to myself, if I'm willing to give something up as somebody who's been extraordinarily blessed, and give up some of the tax breaks that I enjoy, I actually think that's going to make economic sense. But for me as a Christian, it also coincides with Jesus's teaching that 'for unto whom much is given, much shall be required,'" Obama said, noting Jewish and Islamic teachings say much the same thing.
It surprises me to encounter the president using this tactic. In the first place, the specific example he cites above is misapplied. When the president establishes a policy direction — and Congress follows it — his decisions don't just affect him. When he promotes increased taxation of "the rich," he's not merely giving up his own tax breaks as he implies — he's also suggesting the government should be able to force others to pay more in taxes, as well. That's just obvious — and to say otherwise actually makes the president look more confused than anything. Here, we seem to have an out-of-water Obama who wants very desperately to pander but doesn't quite know how.
It's always a bit tricky to apply Scripture to political problems. After all, Jesus made it very clear to his apostles, who expected the Messiah to win a worldly victory against their oppressors, that His kingdom is not of this world. When he directly addresses the issue of taxation, He says simply to give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to give to God what is God's. Yes, Jesus is acutely concerned with issues of authority and also with issues of wealth and poverty — but it all proceeds from the basic assumptions that authority comes from His Father and that the spiritual, in general, has primacy over the material. That is, Jesus' injunctions to His followers to give everything they have to the poor proceed from the idea that whatever stands in the way of loving Him has got to go. It's about His glory, not about the creation of some utopian society. Those who make Jesus' teachings about the latter and not the former miss the major point His life, death and resurrection make.

Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
I don't see how that can be so. Wouldn't you expect to see bees w/ thheir heads in brood cells all the time? I know I am not as observant as others, but I have never seen what I thought was a bee feeding, putting food in a cell occupied by an egg or larvae.
Mark Berninghausen
Mark, I cannot recall where I read the 1500. But regardless of the number. If bees are not placing the jelly in the cell. Where is it coming from? Does it require a bee place their head into the cell in order to feed a larva? The undisturbed brood I have seen is usually covered in bees to the point you cannot see brood at all.
Everything gets darker, as it goes to where there is less light. Darrel Tank (5PM drawing instructor)
There are a lot of myths around queen rearing and as a couple of people have pointed out, that Steiner stuff (anthroposcopy) is quasi religious esoteric stuff and in my view has no place in beekeeping.
Steiner wrote about bees and sun cycles but I don't think he was actually ever a bee keeper himself.
I do a lot of grafting and I agree with almost every point Michael Bush has made on this thread.
If there is dried up royal jelly at the base of a cell from which a queen has emerged, she was not short of food in the crucial 4 and a bit days days before the cell was capped over.
Re. queens getting superseded, there is research to show that a queen introduced to a colony just a few days after she has started to lay is quite likely to be superseded.
Ideally, a queen should be laying for about a month before being introduced.
I think the problem with early introduction and subsequent supersedure is something to do with lack of queen pheromone.
Some people also believe that queens which mate from mini nucs or Apideas are inferior in some way but I have not found this to be the case either.
Rubbish in, rubbish out applies and if you start with bad genetics don't expect to produce good queens.
Same applies to your local drone population.
The other critical factor with open mated queens is the weather.
In an ideal world you would get several good flying days 8-12 days after the queen has emerged.
Last season our weather was so bad at times virgin queens were unable to fly for up to 3 weeks.

I've made two separate observations:
1. If you put a larvae on a microscope slide and watch it, it simply eats the pool of food around it.
2. It does not seem (if one watches a frame of brood in an observation hive) that the bees are adding food to the cell once a minute.
When you see them with their heads in a cell with brood, they are there for several seconds at least.
Have you ever taken a frame of brood out during an inspection and watched it for at least a minute? It does not appear (at least to me) that the brood is being "fed" (or that food is being added to the cell) once every minute. Ditto for an observation hive where the bees are not being disturbed.
I know what numbers are cited (I don't recall at the moment...we may have even put a similar number in our book)....but it's always useful to doubt accepted facts, especially if you do some math and some observation and it doesn't jibe.
I have an idea of how to run some more detailed observations (and record them) this spring, and I hope that I don't get too overwhelmed with other things so that I can do this.

The worms can only eat so fast. I don't see where 1500 visits a day needs to happen. One visit per day to drop off RJ for the worm would be enough, if a days supply was given at that time huh? I have no idea how many times the worm is visited myself, It may be once, it may be 1500 times, it may be more or less. Is it important to know?
I do believe that this thread has brought up particulars concerning the feeding of queen larva, not larva in general. If you've ever raised a bar of queen cells, and observed them at almost any time before they were sealed, it is easy to see where nurse bees would be adding food to the cell at least 1500 times per day. Every time I pull a bar of open cells to view their progress, many of them have nurse bees in them, with only the tips of their abdomen showing. I can't see what they're doing in there, but I usually assume they're in there adding more royal jelly to the pool.
I've manipulated conditions, and had the bees produce some very large cells, with large reserves of royal jelly. When I move cells to emerge into California mini cages, if it hasn't already been done by the bees, I gently remove some of the wax from the tips of the cells, exposing the cocoon. In doing this, I have observed that, despite how large the outer beeswax shell of the queen cell is, the space the queen cocoon occupies generally is only so big, and no bigger. Though cells can be underdeveloped and very small. thus affording the queen even less space for her cocoon, than she may utilize in a more spacious wax shell . I also consider, especially in my region, which quite regularly has very low relative humidity and high temperatures; that a reserve of royal jelly may have other, beneficial effects on developing queens, than its nutritional value.

Do you think that it is important that they bees in a nuc eat the remains of the jelly in the queen cell. Some sort of effect on pheromones between the bees and the new queen?
The issue of frequency of feeding is about disruption of that frequency during grafting. You will have to decide for yourself if that matters. I know it is common to read that larva handled to long die. But I am sure that right up to the point of death. they where not being harmed at all.

On the other hand, I've heard a queen producer or two accidentally leaving a batch of larvae untended for several days and they still survive. Developmentally delayed a bit if I remember correctly, but viable.

in the current SOS issue for July/August, Elvis talks about the upcoming season.
- he came back because of his passion to skate rather than winning another a medal. The latter is not enough at this level. He was planning on coming back in 2005 then changed his mind because it was too far. He sure is looking forward to the 2006 games. His main goal for 2003-2004 is to get a feel of competing in the international events again. Other than that nothing much.
- the Axel is coming back, the quad toe, the quad salchow and the QUAD LUTZ. He is planning on doing the quad lutz in the LP.
-he is currently working with two choreographers - Randy Gardner andTracy Robertson.
- his coach is Linda Bridge
and alot more....

Strong brew
Kate Novotny, Arts '10, believes in caffeinating for a cause. It began when she came across a coffee-growing community during a service trip to Honduras her sophomore year.
Novotny started thinking: What if she could help export organic, fair-trade coffee to support Honduran farmers and raise funds for Sociedad Amigos de los Niños, an orphanage run by Sister Maria Rosa Leggol, OSF, Hon Deg '09, in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
"That was the initial spark that fueled what is now Buena Vida Coffee," says Novotny, who earned an entrepreneurship certificate from the Graduate School of Management. "I really liked the idea of uniting business with social economic justice."
The nonprofit coffee company is housed in the Kohler Center for Entrepreneurship's new incubator space. Milwaukee brew house Stone Creek Coffee roasts, packages and ships the Honduran coffee, while Marquette students handle sales and marketing.
"It is a wonderful example of how business can serve society and how students acquire entrepreneurial skills to serve a greater cause," says Dr. Linda Salchenberger, former James H. Keyes Dean of the College of Business Administration.
After a slow start, the company is taking off. In 2011, it sold nearly 4,000 pounds of coffee, up from 480 pounds the previous year, and donated $2,000 to the orphanage. This year, Novotny expects to donate $10,000.
It hasn't been easy. "There was a point when we didn't even know if we were going to make it," says Novotny, the company's president. "That struggle for survival pushes you and challenges you to think more about your model, more about your customer base, and really focus on your niche."
As the company began working to bring Buena Vida Coffee to Milwaukee grocery stores, students turned to alumni, including Jim Sartori, Bus Ad '77, CEO of Sartori Foods, for funding support and mentorship.
"It immediately caught my attention because it is truly authentic and at the same time very entrepreneurial authentic because of Sister Maria Rosa, who has helped thousands of orphans in Honduras, and entrepreneurial because Marquette students are provided an opportunity to experience real-world business situations," Sartori says of the project. "It has been gratifying to see young Marquette students step up and diligently work to make this a success."
The Kohler Center invites alumni to help support Marquette's fledgling entrepreneurs. Learn how at marquette.edu/magazine. NSE

New news, guys.
The game is now getting an Xbox 360 remake.
I've confirmed the source elsewhere.
So far, the additions for this version are:
-A redesign of the underwater theme park LeMU.
-Every character's conversation scene are represented using 3D models, which move.
-New additions to the event CGs, and Tsugumi clothing gets redesigned (in Kid's route).
-Additions to the ending.
I have mixed thoughts about all of this (especially about Tsugumi's new outfit), but in the end, my love for this game will lead me to buy this new version as well. Damn me and my love for this game!
Thoughts? My only other problem is the accursed five syllables: X-box-3-6-0.

Well, if you look at the top left corner... 5pb. Their biasness for Xbox360 is pretty much there. Though if you look at their history, their games will get ported to PC, PSP and Iphone when the time comes, so you can just hold on until they announce the PC version.
On a second note, isn't Tsugumi's clothing being the same on both routes one of the reason everyone was fooled? Not sure if I support this change...

Yeah, I know it was by 5pb. Still, I'm not 100% this will get re-re-remade (yes, the game has that many versions of remakes) on the PC. I would love it if they did, though. I would certainly like to translate the new material.

Is there any mention who will be writing the additions to the ending? Hope they get either Nakazawa or Uchikoshi to write it. Even if 5pb can't get them to write, at the minimum get one of their ex-KID staff who worked on E17(since 5pb was formed from ex-KID staff) to write.

I really wish I knew who's brainchild was which in this series. I know R11 was Nakazawa's, while E17 and N7 had a bit more of Uchikoshi in it, but in the PSP booklets, all of the interviews are with Nakazawa.

I hope the "additions to the ending" will be good quality. I'm most curious as to what kind of redesign LeMU will receive... CG/map display redesign? Layout redesign???
I also agree that new clothes will weaken the mystery, but it might be "safe"...

I would actually like to see a You route for Takeshi.
LeMU is receiving room redesign. If you look closely at the upper-right hand corner of the scan, it shows comparisons between the old and new versions of LeMU.
The characters all look a bit different now, but that's because the artist has changed her drawing style a bit (this is especially clear when you compare Ever17 to 12Riven, since they had the same character designer).
One thing I would actually like to see in some new version of Ever17 is:

As I stated in my 12Riven review on GameFAQs, I think the difference between Nakazawa and Uchikoshi lies in their power to tell lectures on plot elements- Nakazawa's exposition always feels like it's natural and part of the story to me, while Uchikoshi's feel a bit forced and hamfisted, since they don't usually come into play until much later, whereas Nakazawa's explaining what's happening right now.

You know what'd also be nice in this version? Full voice-acting for Takeshi and Kid on their routes. There's no real reason to hide what their voices sound like, after all, and if they're doing new ending stuff, they're presumably calling the seiyus back in for new lines, right? Soichiro Hoshi's done this for the upgraded version of Higurashi Matsuri and the all-ages version of Muv-Luv Alternative, so it wouldn't be his first time.

I'm all for more details. An insight into Coco's backstory would be great. New endings and drama CD routes would be fabulous too, but I'm not putting too much hope in those.
Spoiler for E17's premise:
In any case, the discussion above makes me realize that there's a lot about the series that I haven't seen/read yet! (particularly interviews)
Is the new room design the orange one? Looks somewhat foreboding!

Here's some pages from Famitsu.
The new LeMU and redrawn/HD CGs look great. As for the 3D...well, I'm not sure yet. Maybe I'll get a better feel for it with a few new screenshots.

I must say that I see absolutely no difference with Tsugumi, Sora and Yuu's CG, and after a close inspection with the original one, it is a bit silly that they made a fake widescreen ratio by simply cropping the height of the CG.
That said, they definitely redesigned LeMU (be it the cg or the BG), in a good way.
As for the 3D, it is probably something similar to White Album and Hyperdimension game Neptune.
That said...

The Saguaros didn't qualify for this year's Arizona Fall League Championship Game after finishing second place in the AFL's West Valley Division.
The following Rangers prospects saw action for Surprise this fall––RHP Ben Henry, LHP Jimmy Reyes, RHP Ryan Rodebaugh, RHP Ben Rowen, RHP Joe Van Meter, C Kellin Deglan, C/1B Brett Nicholas, INF Hanser Alberto, 1B Chris McGuiness, and INF Luis Sardinas.
Luis Martinez's Colombia team was knocked out of qualification for the 2013 World Baseball Classic after going 1-2 over the weekend. Martinez appeared in two of the three games and went 1-for-6 with three walks and three strikeouts.
Playing his first game in eight days, the Gigantes' Leury Garcia got the start at shortstop and went 0-for-4 with a strikeout. The 21-year-old prospect, who was added to the Rangers' 40-man roster earlier this week, is now batting .274 in 21 winterball contests.
Licey right fielder Engel Beltre singled once in two at-bats, playing the game's first seven innings. He also stole his fifth base in six tries.
Centerfielder Leonys Martin (0/4) and shortstop Jurickson Profar (0/3, 2 BB) both went hitless, though Martin laid down a sacrifice bunt while Profar walked twice.
Profar got the start at shortstop and batted second on Wednesday while Hanley Ramirez played DH and batted third. Through eight winterball games, the Rangers' top prospect is 4-for-22 with a double and a home run. He's drawn four walks and struck out four times.
Lara's Guilder Rodriguez entered as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning and grounded out in his only plate appearance. The defensive specialist is now 6-for-37 (.162) at the plate this season.
No Rangers appeared in Liga Paralela on Wednesday, but the league has posted box scores from Tuesday's action.
On Tuesday, Caracas starting pitcher Richard Alvarez (1.62 ERA/.200 BAA) improved to 6-0 on the season after he hurled six innings of four-hit, shutout ball. He struck out three and walked two while inducing 11 groundouts and just three flyouts.
In seven appearances (five starts), Alvarez has the following Liga Paralela stat-line––33.1 ip, 24 h, 6 er, 5 bb, 22 k.
Shortstop Edwin Garcia, also playing for Caracas, singled once in three at-bats.
Batting leadoff and playing in center field for their respective clubs, Teodoro Martinez and Diego Cedeno both went 1-for-5. Martinez added a run batted in while Cedeno committed an error.
The Navegantes' Eduard Pinto saw action as a pinch-hitter and walked in his lone trip.
Tiburones right fielder Jhonny Gomez singled once in five at-bats.
La Guaira righty Arlett Mavare earned the victory in long relief on Tuesday. The Venezuela native yielded two runs (one earned) in four innings, scattering seven hits while walking one, plunking one, and fanning three.
Algodoneros de Guasave catcher Jose Felix had another big game offensively on Wednesday, as he went 3-for-4 with three doubles and two RBI.
Although the 24-year-old Felix has been just a part-time backstop for Guasave during this winterball campaign, he's impressed with the bat when in the lineup. The Mexico native is 16-for-44 (.364) with six doubles in 15 games. He batted .260/.271/.377 in 82 regular-season contests at Double-A Frisco.
All three scheduled games in Puerto Rico were postponed.
As usual, the Australian Baseball League is quiet during the midweek before returning to action this weekend.

Plaster model of jousting knights in the New Horse Armoury. 1870s (XVII.29) © Private collection 2013
New Horse Armoury, Tower of London, 1870s
Carved wooden head of Henry V. English, about 1688-91 (XVII.44)
Date: 1421 | Object number: XVII.29
|Object Provenance:
|France, Paris, 1838
|Object Number:
This sculpture is probably the best known of the Compte de Nieuwerkerke's works and shows the encounter between Thomas, 1st Duke of Clarence (Henry V's brother) and Garin de Fontaine at the battle of Baugé, 22 March 1421 during the 100 Years War.
Thomas had not been present at his brother's famous victory at Agincourt (1415), and it may have been his desire to establish his battle credentials that led him to push on against the Scots fighting with the French despite advice to the contrary. In a rather ironic twist of fate his downfall may have been brought about by the lack of archers in his company compared to the number of Scottish bowmen, although the Scots and French were numerically inferior. As it was, in what was effectively an ill-advised sortie, Clarence and a significant number of his men at arms were killed. The historic accounts are confused, and it is not clear who actually killed Clarence, but as he was Henry V's Regent at the time, his death was a significant blow to the English.
Alfred-Emilien O'Hara van Nieuwerkerke (1811 – 1892) was a French sculptor of Dutch descent who enjoyed a high level civil service career in the Second French Empire, until its fall in 1870. A six month trip to Italy in 1834 awakened his interest in ancient sculpture, and he returned to France to become a sculptor. Nieuwerkerke's civil service career was conducted in the governance of museums, and by the late 1860s he was in effect acting as a kind of minister of cultural affairs. With the fall of the Empire, he left Paris and moved to Italy, via London, shedding much of his collections as he went. The collector Sir Richard Wallace bought parts of his arms and armour collection.
This plaster model is recorded in the grangerised edition of Hewitt's catalogue as a handwritten additional entry at the end of class 18 (Miscellaneous Objects)
'56. Model of the death of the Duke of Clarence'. It was about this time that Nieuwerkerke was in London and trying to sell some of his collections to the South Kensington Museum (today known as the V&A). The 1880 Armories [sic] Guide p.16 notes 'A small glass case containing a model representing the encounter of the Duke of Clarence, brother to Henry V., and Gavin [sic] de Fontaine, a French knight, in which the duke was slain'.
Bronze copies of this piece were cast by the Susse foundry from 1839-75, and the Royal Armouries acquired one in 1948 (XVII.37) presented by Mrs Fazan & Miss Audrey Collier.

We are officially past the halfway point of the NFL season, and the injuries are piling up and causing chaos for fantasy owners. With stars like Calvin Johnson, DeMarco Murray and Darren Sproles all injured and either out, or questionable, fantasy owners have to scramble to find replacements or stay the course and see if their guy will play. A lot of times waiting to mere minutes before kick-off to set their final fantasy line-ups. Well, that is where TheFinsiders.com comes in handy. Our fantasy guru, James Morris, provides all the news and info you will need to make the best possible decisions to get you into the fantasy playoffs and have a shot at winning the league title.
Week 9 Sunday Injury Update by James Morris
Calvin Johnson is a true game-time decision with knee problems, and there is speculation that he will be limited to 3rd down duties only. Even if he is limited to one down, I would still play him against a Jaguars secondary that is hobbled and giving up big plays.
Darren Sproles broke his hand and is out indefinitely. Sproles already underwent surgery to repair the problem, so his best case scenario is a week 13 return. I don't personally see that happening, but think a return for the fantasy playoffs is within reach. However, with the Saints currently sitting at 2-5, they could also choose to sit Sproles for the remainder of the season if they are eliminated from the playoff race.
Roddy White is working through back troubles, but is going to be a full go after practicing Thursday and Friday. I like him a lot against the Cowboys in week 9.
The Dallas Cowboys are dealing with two high profile players ailing right now. Felix Jones is listed as probable and will play. He is working through knee and shoulder injuries, and the Falcons like to air it out and get out ahead. That means the running game could get put on the back burner, and Jones is ranking out as a low-end RB2 this week. Then there is Dez Bryant nursing a hip injury. He is listed as probable is almost sure to be in the line-up against the Falcons. I have him as a low-end WR2 this week, so tailor back your expectations.
Ryan Tannehill is a game-time decision today with a knee problem. He and Brian Hartline (groin) were both listed as questionable. Karlos Dansby (biceps) is officially probable and should be available for today's game.
Isaac Redman is listed as probable for the Steelers, and is expected to start with Rashard Mendenhall and Jonathan Dwyer doubtful. I think the big-box websites are putting too much stock in Redman's fantasy value this weekend, and have him penciled in as a high-end flex play against the Giants.
Pierre Garcon has been ruled out for this week's game, and isn't even a lock to return following the Redskins week 10 bye. I cut ties with Garcon about three weeks ago, and you should too. For a guy that has played in just three (3) games this season, and has just 8 catches for 153 yards and a TD, there is no reason he should be owned in 74.0 percent of NFL.com leagues still.
St. Louis Rams WR Danny Amendola is not going to play in week 9, but has said he will "absolutely play in week 10." If he is available on your waiver wire (owned in 34.3 percent of NFL.com leagues), it would be a great idea to grab him and stash him. The Rams desperately need their favorite go-to guy back.
Brandon Pettigrew was upgraded to probable on Thursday, and is going to play today. He is averaging 5.4 catches-per-game this season, and makes for a solid low-end TE1 play.
Jermichael Finley is also listed as probable for Sunday, but should be on any and all fantasy benches. If you look up "bust" in the dictionary, there will be a picture of Finley next to it!
Texans TE Owen Daniels is listed as probable with hamstring problems. Word is that it is more of a tweak than an injury, so I still have him listed as a solid TE1 today. Ben Tate has been ruled out for this game, but he isn't a real fantasy option unless Arian Foster goes down.
Kenny Britt (knee) and Nate Washington (knee) are both listed as probable today, but neither is a good fantasy play against the Bears defense. Britt is a low-end WR3, and Washington is barely a flex play.
Donald Brown was downgraded to questionable and is a game-time decision against the Dolphins. But, even if he is active and plays, he will work in rotation with Vick Ballard. I wouldn't recommend Brown or Ballard unless you are in a deeper league.

text: Newbie here! :lol: Wow, I cannot tell you enough how much we are impressed with our new (used) 2004 Trailblazer, we just bought ours last night. It was so smooth and has so much power! We are still discovering things that we didn't know we had. We paid $16,000 for it, and purchased the additional warranty to cover it up to 100,000 miles bumper to bumper. It currently has just just over 36,000 miles. I think the previous owners traded it in because it just ran out of it's warrantly. We are planning to tow a Fleetwood Sequoia Tent Trailer with it. I believe it tows about 5500lbs, so towing a 3500 lb trailer shouldn't be an issue. Anyone have any experience with towing a trailer like this? The trailblazer is kinda dwarfed by the trailer, I'm sure it will look comical when we actually tow.

The Propane Green Autogas Solutions Act ("Propane GAS Act") of 2011 offers significant economic growth, environmental and energy security benefits to the American economy, according to a study released today by the National Propane Gas Association.
The study projects that the Propane Gas Act's impact on jobs and the economy will be significant. The growth in propane vehicle sales and use created by the tax credits will generate an increase in economic activity that peaks at between $4 billion and $5.7 billion per year in 2016. That translates to between 30,000 and 42,000 new jobs created by 2016.
Economic Impacts of the Propane Green Autogas Solutions Act of 2011 was performed by ICF International using standard economic models and market data from propane autogas fuel providers, vehicle manufacturers and fleet consumers. The study illustrates how propane used as a transportation fuel, known as 'autogas', can be a cost effective alternative to gasoline and diesel that can help address our nation's environmental and energy security policy goals.
NPGA President and CEO Richard Roldan noted, "H.R. 2014 and S. 1120 would extend for five years federal alternative fuel tax credits for propane used as a motor fuel, propane autogas vehicles and propane autogas refueling equipment. The Propane GAS Act offers certainty to the marketplace to further solidify propane autogas as a competitive alternative transportation fuel."
"We must break our dependence on foreign sources of energy, and enacting the Propane GAS Act will help us achieve this goal," noted Carl Hughes, NPGA's Board Chairman. "Propane autogas is clean, widely available, affordable, and domestically produced. It's a practical choice for consumers today and an important tool for policymakers as our nation searches for options to improve our energy security."
"Autogas vehicle market incentives are good fiscal policy. The Propane GAS Act provides incentives to make the switch to an American-made alternative fuel and with clear policy benefits," concluded NPGA's Roldan. "Propane autogas vehicles and infrastructure are available right now and public and private fleets are seeing significant long-term cost savings. While no single alternative fuel can completely displace conventional fuels in the short term, propane autogas provides our country with significant benefits and can have an immediate impact. ICF International's thorough analysis of the Propane GAS Act bears these facts out."
