It's such a good feeling! I have two of these http://www.stacksandstacks.com/html/6846_basket-sliding-system.htm full of yarn now. They weren't being used so I put them in an unused corner of my bedroom and got organized. (It was so nice just to pet all that wonderful sock yarn again) Then I went through all my UFOs, noted the needles that were in them, took some of the needles out and frogged the project or took the needles out and put in stich holders. I've got a hard copy of all needle brands and sizes, both US and mm. All my patterns were put into those plastic sleeve thingys and then in 3 ring binders. I also cleared a shelf in the bedroom and put all my keeper UFOs on there so I can SEE what I have to finish. They're in ziplock bags right now-ugly to be sure, but I plan on seeing what I can find to replace those. My DH doesn't get it, he can't understand why it's such a big deal to me so I thought I'd share my good news with all of you. People who WILL understand.
Another thing. Does the model on the front of Vogue Knitting spring/summer look as if she's doing her monthly breast exam to any one else?
Hey, do you want to come over to my house today?
I will be sure to look at Vogue next time I go to B&N, but sometimes I have to wonder about some of those vogue covers.
That sounds excellent!
I unfortunately don't have a big enough stash (yet :teehee: ) to have to do a major organizing like you did....but this weekend I did get all my needles, stitch markers, row counter, tapestry needles, etc. etc. nicely organized in a large wooden box with a lid. Maybe Easter weekend is just a spring-cleaning-organizing-your-stuff kinda time! :cheering:
I also organized my stash...now I just don't know where to put it. I put all of my yarn in plastic bags and wrote the brands on the cover. I left all of my acrylic in my baskert though, because I know it's acrylic and there's a rare chance I'm ever going to use it. I need to organize my needles though, because right now I just have them in a basket loose, and that leads to lost needles (especially those size 1 DPNs), so I'm deciding what to do with them soon though. Great job getting organized though! :notworthy:
Congrats on organizing your stash. Mine has taken over our office .. it came out of the closet and won't fit back in :rofl: My husband and I have been looking at those same baskets, but I think we have decided to just put shelves in the office closet and then I will use clear plastic containers to stash my stash away.
Well, need to get a project started to take to my conference with me this week.
I organized my stash just today!
I NEED to reorganize my stash!!!! Is it the Vogue I just bought with the EZ baby surplice pattern??? I must check out the front cover. I was so excited to know the EZ pattern was in there I've not looked at anything else! samm who thinks you've given her inspiration with the stash organizing........
Congratulations on you Stash Organizing skills~!I kinda did a stash reorganizing this last week. I bought a LOT of summer wt cotton blend yarn from my LYS online ( it stll hasn't gottne here yet :pout: )but anyway I gave some to may pals, some will go to my yarnee, and some is in the miscleaneous bin~! Now I KNOW what I have and don't have so.. I can organize by summer and winter wt. BTW: I shared this info with a male at work b/c I said you don't want to be working with bulky wt wool/acrlyic in the 95 degree summertime and I said I am soooo glad I got my stash reorganized.. He just looked at me funny for a minute and laughed and said "" well it is SOOO important to know what it's in your stash.. syou wouldn't want to grab the wrong ball of yarn in the summer~! and I said YEP .. EXACTLY and for him it was :whoosh:
Non Knitters/ Yarn addicts JUST DONT UNDESTAND~!! :roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard: :roflhard:
I have had those sliding baskets for ever, one of those blended family items I didn't use, but didn't want to throw away. They have held everything from sports gear to My Little Pony-s. When I looked at my yarn the light bulb flashed.
It IS the same issues with EZ's baby surplice jacket. I've made two of the BSJs and I can't wait to co the surplice. Even with the model doing the monthly breast exam I still love Vogue Knitting. :teehee:
It feels so nice to have the yarn and needles organized and as you said, inventoried. What I didn't mention was that I spent 2 hours on one ball of sock yarn that my 2 you DGS had tangled into a mess. He is so going to get socks made from that yarn.

Biology faculty member Amie McClellan and rising senior Logan Traynor have just returned from a 5-day workshop hosted by the Genomics Education partnership at Washington University in St. Louis (http://gep.wustl.edu/). Dr. Sarah Elgin, the director of the GEP program, kept them on a busy schedule of learning, primarily through hands-on training, how to use bioinformatic tools to annotate and improve regions of genome sequence.
One ultimate goal of the GEP is to demystify the apparent expression of numerous genes on the Drosophila F element, which exists in a highly condensed chromatic state. Amie and Logan learned how to search for genes, locate introns and exons, do comparative sequence analysis amongst related species of Drosophila, and learned of the computational challenges to performing all of these tasks that thus require human eyes and intelligence. Importantly, these experiences will feed into a new course being taught this Fall (Genome Jumpstart) in which students will actively participate in computational GEP research projects, providing an opportunity for original research and inclusion as co-authors on future collaborative publications with the GEP.
They also got the chance to tour The McDonnell Genome Institute
and enjoy some time out of their computer chairs clambering around at the City Museum (yes, they climbed all the way up into that airplane!).
When asked his thoughts on the workshop, Logan said it was "incredibly rigorous, but intensely satisfying". Amie and Logan are both excited to implement what they've learned this coming Fall term in the Genome Jumpstart course!

You know what's weird about making all this cheese from the groundbreaking new book that is taking the vegan world by storm, Artisan Vegan Cheese by Miyoko Schinner? Well, just that I kinda don't know what to do with all this cheese.
This is the first cookbook I've ever had where my instinct is to just start at the beginning and work my way through. OK, I haven't exactly gone through without skipping things. I skipped the Chevre recipes because I've never heard of Chevre and it has an accent over the first "e" and I don't know how to make that happen on my blog, and that seems like a serious problem. I also skipped Boursin because, again, I don't know what that is. But I did the soft Brie because I knew what that was and, also, it was really easy. And then, on the next page is Soft Gruyere. I decided to make that, which makes no sense because it ALSO has an accent and I have no clue what it's supposed to taste like.
Inconsistently aside, Gruyere time! I still had rejuvelac leftover in the fridge to make it with and it was really easy, and it tasted good even uncultured (the miso did it, I think). But then I had all this soft Gruyere and I'm not totally sure what to do with it all. So far, I've been putting it on apples with some bee-free honey, even though there's really no need for added sweetness.
We all agree that Miyoko Schinner is a genius, right? That's why I've decided to hop on a plane today, fly to San Francisco, and go to this vegan wine and cheese event that Vegansaurus informed me she's having tomorrow! OK, just kidding, I already had the plane ticket to SF, and I will indeed be leaving in a few short hours. But I'm soooooo incredibly excited to spend most of the rest of Vegan Mofo in a far more vegan-friendly city than Pittsburgh (no hate on the 'burgh, though, I mean it). And I really did buy tickets to this event, so I'm excited to post about that in another few days. I feel immensely lucky that something that excites me so much just happens to take place where I'm vacationing WHILE I'm vacationing there! Convergence, what?
My plan while I'm in SF is basically to just bicycle around, eat vegan food, and blog about it. I actually don't really even know anyone there except my little sister, because all the friends I used to have in SF decided to relocate to New York City, which is crazy in my opinion, but to each his or her own, and also, I'll admit, I can see the appeal of NYC after a few years in SF. It seems as though even my little sister might relocate to NYC soonish! That's actually awesome because NYC is a hell of a lot closer to Pittsburgh than SF, so I can see her adorable little face more often. But I'm going off topic here. Point is, I'm leaving for San Francisco today and I'm not doing much while I'm there, so if you're a San Franciscan and you feel like hanging and possibly making a guest appearance on my blog, write me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com! Although I've been interneting it up, making lists of vegan spots I gotta gotta gotta hit, I'd be happy to get real local input on these tough decisions, and also, I like to have fun and meet people and not be forced to ONLY make friends with dogs in Delores Park, although that's fun too. Don't be shy, email me.

Jokes tagged water
One day three fishermen were out in a boat in the Gulf of Mexico. They hadnot caught a thing all day when suddenly, one of the fishermen's polesstarted jerking. He grabbed it and started reeling in his line and shouting,"I got something! I got something!"He had caught a nice fish, about ten inches long. The fishermen were aboutto revel in his accomplishment when the fish shook the hook out of hismouth and transformed into a being, half man and half fish, sporting a crownand holding a trident."Who are you?" said the frightened fisherman who had caught him."I AM NEPTUNE, GOD OF THE SEA, AND I AM GOING TO PUT A CURSE ON YOU LOWLYMORTALS! BEFORE YOU LEAVE HERE TODAY YOUR BOAT WILL SPRING A DOZEN LEAKS! ...NO, MAKE THAT A DOZEN AND A HALF!"And with that, he dove back into the waters. As soon as he was gone, thefishermen's boat had sprung so many leaks they were forced to swim to shore.To this day, they never forgot Neptune's eighteen-hole Gulf curse.

Two men contracted to paint a small community church. Being very frugal(cheap), they pinched and scraped to spend the absolute minimum onmaterials. Then, when they were only partway through the job, theydetermined that they did not, after all, have enough paint to complete thejob. Not wishing to spend any more money if they didn't absolutely have to,they decided they would just dilute the water-based paint they were using sothat it would last longer. They did this a couple more times before theyfinished, which caused striping on the church as the paint got lighter eachtime it was thinned. The painters had just about gotten to the top of thesteeple, when, all of a sudden, the sky darkened, and the rain started topour down. As the paint streamed down the sides of the church, a voiceboomed from the heavens: "Repaint, you thinners! Repaint, and thin no more!"

A guy spent five years traveling all around the world making adocumentary on Native dances. At the end of this time, he had every singlenative dance of every indigenous culture in the world on film -- or so hethought. He wound up in Australia, in Alice Springs, so he popped into apub for a well earned beer.He got talking to one of the local Aborigines and told him about hisproject. The Aborigine asked the guy what he thought of the Butcher Dance."Butcher Dance?" he said, confused. "What's that?""What? You didn't see the Butcher Dance?""No, I've never heard of it.""Mate, you're crazy," the Aborigine replied. "How can you say you filmedevery native dance if you haven't seen the Butcher Dance?""Umm. I got a Corroborree on film just the other week. Is that what youmean?""No, no. The Butcher Dance is much more important than the Corroborree.""Oh," the man said, his curiosity piqued. "Well how can I see this ButcherDance then?""Mate, the Butcher Dance is way out in the wilderness. It'll take you manydays of travel to go see it.""Look, I've been everywhere from the forests of the Amazon, to deepestdarkest Africa, to the frozen wastes of the Arctic filming these dances.Nothing will prevent me from recording this one last dance.""Ok, mate," the Aborigine replied, shrugging. "You drive north along thehighway towards Darwin. After you drive 197 miles, you'll see a dirt trackveer off to left. Follow the dirt track for 126 miles till you see big hugedead gum tree -- the biggest tree you've ever seen. Here you gotta leave car,because it's much too rough for driving. You strike out due westinto the setting sun. Walk three days till you hit a creek. You follow thiscreek to the northwest. After two days you'll find where the creek flows out ofsome rocky mountains, but it's much too difficult to cross the mountains there,though. So you head south for half day until you see a pass through mountains.The pass is very difficult and very dangerous. It'll take you two, maybethree days to get through it. On the other side, head northwest for fourdays until you reach a big huge rock -- twenty feet high and shaped like a man'shead. From the rock, walk due west for two days, and then you'll find thevillage. You'll be able to see the Butcher Dance there."So the guy grabbed his camera crew and equipment and headed out. After acouple of hours, he found the dirt track. The track was in a shocking state,and he was forced to crawl along at a snail's pace, and so he didn't reach thetree until dusk, where he was forced to set up camp for the night.He set out bright and early the following morning. His spirits were high,and he was excited about the prospect of capturing on film this mysteriousdance that he had never heard mention of before. True to the directions hehad been given, he reached the creek after three days and followed it foranother two, until he reached the rocky mountains.The merciless sun was starting to take its toll, and the spirits of bothhimself and his crew were starting to flag; but wearily they trudged on,finally finding the pass through the mountains. Nothing would prevent him fromcompleting his life's dream. The mountains proved to be every bit astreacherous as their guide had said, and at times they despaired of evergetting their bulky equipment through. But after three and a half days ofback breaking effort, they finally forced their way clear and continued theirlong trek.When they reached the huge rock, four days later, their water was running low,and their feet were covered with blisters, but they steeled themselves andheaded out on the last leg of their journey. Two days later they virtuallystaggered into the village. To their relief, the natives welcomed them andfed them and gave them fresh water, and they began to feel like new men. Oncehe recovered enough, the guy went before the village chief and told him thathe came to film their Butcher Dance."Oh mate," he said. "Very bad you come today. Butcher Dance last night. Youtoo late. You miss dance.""Well, when do you hold the next dance?""Not till next year.""Well, I've come all this way. Couldn't you just hold an extra dancefor me tonight?""No, no, no!" the chief exclaimed. "Butcher Dance very holy. Only hold once ayear. You want see Butcher Dance, you come back next year."Understandably, the guy was devastated, but he had no other option but tohead back to civilization and back home.The following year, he headed back to Australia and, determined not to missout again, set out a week earlier than before. He was quite willing tospend a week in the village before the dance is performed in order to ensurehe was present to witness it.But right from the start, things went wrong. Heavy rains that yearturned the dirt track to mud, and the car got bogged down every few miles.Finally they had to abandon their vehicles and slog through the mud onfoot almost half the distance to the tree. They reached the creek and themountains without any further problems, but halfway through the mountain pass,they were struck by a fierce storm that raged for several days, during whichthey were forced to cling forlornly to the mountainside until itsubsided.Then, before they had traveled a mile out from the mountains, one of thecrew sprained his ankle badly, slowing down the rest of their journeygreatly. Eventually, having lost all sense of how long they had been traveling,they staggered into the village right at noon."The Butcher Dance!" the man gasped. "Please don't tell me I'm too late tosee it!"The chief recognized him and said, "No, white fella. Butcher Dance performedtonight. You come just in time."Relieved beyond measure, the crew spent the rest of the afternoon settingup their equipment and preparing to capture the night's ritual on celluloid. Asdusk fell, the natives started to cover their bodies in white paint and adornthemselves in all manner of birds' feathers and animal skins. Once darknesshad settled fully over the land, the natives formed a circle around a hugeroaring fire. A deathly hush descended over performers and spectators alikeas a wizened old figure with elaborate swirling designs covering his entirebody entered the circle and began to chant."What's he doing?" the man whispered to the chief."Hush," the chief whispered back. "You first white man ever to see mostsacred of our rituals. Must remain silent. Holy man, he asks that the spiritsof the dream world watch as we demonstrate our devotion to them through ourdance, and, if they like our dancing, will they be so gracious as to watchover us and protect us for another year."The chanting of the holy man reached a stunning crescendo before he removedhimself from the circle. The rhythmic pounding of drums boomedout across the land, and the natives began to sway to the stirring rhythm.The guy became caught up in the fervor of the moment himself. This wasit. He realized beyond all doubt that his wait had not been in vain. Hewas about to witness the ultimate performance of rhythm and movement everconceived by mankind.The chief strode to his position in the circle and, in a big boomingvoice, started to sing: "You butch yer right arm in. You butch yer right armout. You butch yer right arm in, and you shake it all about...."

Two men were walking through the desert. They were nearly out of waterwhen they saw three tents in the distance. The hurried over to see if theycould get some water. In the first tent they were told, "I'm sorry we onlyhave trifle." In the second tent, again, "I'm sorry we only have trifle."They went into the third tent and again asked for water only to be told, "I'msorry we only sell trifle." As they walked on, one turned to the other andsaid, "That was a trifle bazaar."

It's always a bummer when a sports fan has to miss a great game to go to work instead. But be consoled, everyday folks, that the scheduling conflicts sometimes happen to people with much higher-paying jobs, too. LeBron James, of all people, is going to miss the Super Bowl this Sunday, and he's not happy. "How disgusting is that?" he said Wednesday, according to the Florida Sun-Sentinel. Here's the catch: James won't have to miss the game because he's playing for the Heat, which would be understandable. He'll actually be flying when the 49ers and Ravens get at it, and the uber-rich Miami Heat apparently do not have wi-fi or satellite TV on their team plane. The Heat have to hop on the plane as quickly as possible after they play Toronto so they can make the turnaround to play Charlotte on Monday. James has apparently considered skipping the flight to catch the Super Bowl instead, and he admits there's one thing that would have made such an act of insubordination happen — if his favorite team, Dallas, was playing. "If the Cowboys were in the Super Bowl, I'd stay there for the game," he said, even shrugging off a question of whether he would do that if it would jeopardize his chances of getting back for the next game he had to play. "Are you crazy? I would never leave." Maybe James can tape the Super Bowl and watch it when he gets home.

Rockart, petroglyphs (also called rock engravings) are pictogram images created by engraving the rock surface. The Negev desert is packed with rock art , especially in in holy places and pilgrimage site. Rock art constitutes a major testimony to early man's thoughts and beliefs of himself and his world. They were holy messages ,a treasures of the past ,in the form of recorded: thoughts, beliefs, myths, and the ancients life's worries.
The earliest script is just over 5,000 years old but rock art provides a much earlier record of the past ,thousands of years , and encoding them is an exciting journey into the deep past.
Mount Karkom is a unique site it contains many archeological artifacts including 40,000 rockart. Fifteen years ago a theory was raised that it is also the biblical Mount Sinai and indeed the possibility looks promising. hide...
Heavenly Art
The book explores the connection of Rock Art in the Negev Desert to Myths and Astronomy. The book reconstructs the beliefs of the Negev Desert people through Myths and Astronomy as influenced by ancient Egypt and Sumer. The rock art are just a reflections of these beliefs. The valuable collection of Rock Art deciphered sheds new light on the ancients spiritual world especially its connection to ancient astronomy. It illuminates how early man envisioned Creation, invented the first Calendar, and expressed his desire to reach Paradise. After 8,000 years of silence, we finally hear the faint voice of ancient civilization from the Negev Desert.
The book Heavenly Art available on line .
What will you find in this site?

Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, 27th September – 17th November 2013
From 27th September, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek presents HYBRID – through other eyes. Taking as a point of departure an idea of actor Morten Nielsen's, photographer Henrik Saxgren has addressed the concept 'identity' – and the violent fluctuations and changes associated with gender, ethnicity and personal appearance, as may be experienced by the children and young people of today.
In the spring of 2011 the pupils of six middle school classes from the Copenhagen suburbs of Hvidovre and Tåstrup had the opportunity to observe themselves with a different ethnic identity. In "Filmbyen", the film studios in Avedøre south of Copenhagen, Morten Nielsen arranged a workshop programme, and with the assistance of professional make-up artists and drama teachers, the 127 children in the 12 to 13 age group were given the opportunity to see themselves "through other eyes" – experience themselves with other ethnic identities. Photographer Henrik Saxgren took part in the project and was there to take pictures of the children before and after their transformations, but as the workshop programme progressed a new idea began to take shape.
As Saxgren expresses it in the catalogue:
"It was integral to the idea that each child would see him or herself with a different ethnic identity. But when I discovered how the children were able to move around freely, with the greatest naturalness, among different identities I realised that ethnic identity was not a reliable marker. Rather I should seek out my images in the interval in the make-up process, where the ethnic identity was indeterminate. Also, however – slightly at cross-purposes with the project – in the situations where gender was challenged. What I found especially interesting was the female figure gestalted by some of the boys.
But best of all was when both ethnicity and gender were indeterminate – in the same portrait!"
Is it actually possible to talk about 'an ethnic identity'?
Henrik Saxgren has previously dealt with ethnic identity in the book War and Love – Immigration in the Nordic Countries (Gyldendal, Copenhagen 2006) but this had its point of departure in cultural anthropology and its scientific methods, and was rooted in a tradition of documentary photography. In his new exhibition Henrik Saxgren has assailed the concept "identity" with greater freedom and from a more philosophical angle.
HYBRID – through other eyes philosophises on the concept 'identity' as a factor subject to change while at the same time debating the notion of photography as a form of documentation.
Catalogue with text by Henrik Saxgren, Morten Nielsen and Lars-Erik Schmidt.
92 pages, 41 photographs in colour.
The exhibition is supported by Sportgoodsfonden and Danish Arts Council

No. 12 Georgia Set For South Carolina, No. 3 Florida
March 13, 2014
ATHENS, Ga.—The No. 12 Georgia women's tennis team will play host to a pair of conference matches against SEC East rivals this weekend, facing South Carolina on Friday at 4 p.m. and No. 3 Florida on Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex.
Match Points:
• The Bulldogs last beat Florida at the 2009 SEC Tournament in Starkville, Miss. In 2012, the last time the Gators visiting Athens in the regular season, Georgia fell 4-3 in a match that came down to Lauren Herring in a three-set match at No. 2 singles
• Georgia and Florida have met in four of the last six SEC Tournament Championship Finals.
• Sunday will mark the first time in the regular season since 2007 that Georgia and Florida meet as Top-Five teams. In 2007, the Bulldogs won the regular season matchup 4-3 before beating the Gators 4-1 for the SEC Tournament championship.
• The Bulldogs enter the weekend after defeating No. 5 Virginia 4-3 at home on Wednesday. Georgia has now beaten a Top-Five opponent in two straight years (2013, 4-2 win at Texas A&M). Coincidentally, sophomore Mia King clinched both matches.
• In Wednesday's match, Herring beat No. 3 Julia Elbaba 6-4, 6-4. For Herring, it was the highest ranked opponent that she's beaten during her college career.
• The three points that Georgia conceded to Virginia in Wednesday's match were the first at home since 3/22/13. In that period, the Bulldogs now have a combined 63-3 match score in 11 matches.
The Bulldogs have four singles players and two doubles pairs in the latest individual rankings. Lauren Herring and Silvia Garcia are in the Top-15 at No. 10 and No. 15, respectively. Maho Kowase sits at No. 21 and Lilly Kimbell sits at No. 45. In doubles, Herring and Kowase are ranked No. 3, Kate Fuller and Silvia Garcia broke in at No. 36 and Kimbell and Mia King are No. 60.
The Georgia women's tennis program is the only in the SEC to have two singles players ranked in the Top-20 and is one of just two schools in the conference to have a doubles pair ranked in the Top-10.
After a quick look at the numbers, it's easy to see why the Bulldogs are surely looking forward to the return of full third sets. Last season, the current Bulldogs won 75 percent of matches that went to a full third set. Over the course of each of their careers, the current Georgia squad wins nearly 70 percent of matches that go the full length.
And that's just non-conference play. The Southeastern Conference is among the best in the country with six ranked teams, five (No. 3 Florida, No. 7 Texas A&M, No. 8 Alabama, No. 11 Vanderbilt, No. No. 12 Georgia) are in the Top-12.
Wallace's excellence isn't just limited to the women's side as he is just one of six active collegiate tennis coaches (of men or women) to reach the 600–win mark. He is also just the fifth coach in UGA's history to reach the 600-win mark (A. Landers, L. Harris-Champer, S. Yoculan, D. Magill).
King has sported a Top-100 ITF ranking, and has been ranked in the top five in her recruiting class by Tennisrecruiting.net since her freshman year. She received a wild card into the U.S. Open Junior Championships qualifying this year and, in 2011, played in the main draw of the U.S. Open Junior Championships in both singles and doubles, along with being a finalist in multiple ITF events.

There probably is a thread like this already, but fuck it!
What can you guys say about the decisions that you made during the first 3 episodes?
I choose to arrest the Woodsman because I loved the character and I got really exited when I recognized the character.
Its really cool that you see other character from fairy tales besides the more popular ones and instead you see characters like Crane, Mr. Toad ( Everyones favorite, right??? ) one of the 3 little pigs, Bloody Mary and so on.
I also didn't kill Tweedle Dum because I just don´t people to see Bigby as a bad guy since you can tell from the beggining that he really wants to be a better person/wolf.

if your "check engine" light isn't on, you're not driving hard enough!
Old thread... but as for LT1s there are a lot of big claims of high 13's-low 14s. A lot of stockish or bolt on ones are complete dogs. I know my STi would pull on my friends bolt on LT1 from a roll all the way up until top of sixth.
The LS1 is of course a different story. I have seen a few dogs(high mileage, poor condition, 2.73 auto, flowmasters etc..) that are not up to par with mild built or stockish STis from a roll and of course not a dig. But a regular wrx... eh IDK. Huge horsepower deficiency there and I dont know if stage 2 could make up for that.
I know I've played around with subies from a roll in my Trans Am where they probably thought I was wot, that probably posted their stories here at one time. But I generally think it would take a substantial amount of motor work and a swapped turbo for a wrx to take on stock and bolt on ls1s in fair condition with a competent driver. Always worth a try though!
I'd like to share that I took down a 395rwhp 06 LS2 GTO with my 06 WRX and 04 LS1 GTO.

When will bleeding stop after hemorrhoid sclerotherapy treatments?
Hi I have been diagnosed with two small internal hemorrhoids that bleed after I have a bowel movement. They stain the toilet paper. My proctologist started me on escleropathy shots. I have received the first session 5 days ago but bleeding persists sometimes when I strain a bit. I have been told it can take a couple of sessions to complete the treatment. My question is when should the bleeding stop? Thank you very much

Japanese Leader Backtracks on Revising Base Agreement
Japanese Leader Backtracks on Revising Base Agreement
By Martin Fackler and Hiroko Tabuchi | NY Times | Submitted by Michael Munk | www.MichaelMunk.com
Backtracking on a prominent campaign pledge, Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama told angry residents of Okinawa on Tuesday that it was unrealistic to expect the United States to move its entire Marine Corps air base off the island.
Mr. Hatoyama's government could hang in the balance. He has pledged to come up with a plan by the end of this month to relocate the Marine air base and resolve a stubborn problem that has created months of discord with Washington. His delays and apparent flip-flopping on the issue have fed a growing feeling of disappointment in the prime minister's leadership, driving his approval ratings below 30 percent.
Visiting Okinawa for the first time since becoming prime minister, Mr. Hatoyama asked residents to entertain a compromise that would keep some of the functions of the base on the island while the government explored moving some facilities elsewhere.
"Realistically speaking, it is impossible" to move the entire base, called Futenma, off the island, he said. "We're facing a situation that is realistically difficult to move everything out of the prefecture. We must ask the people of Okinawa to share the burden." Read more.

Alzheimer's Caregiving
Frequently Asked Questions
20. What types of services are available to help at-home caregivers of people with Alzheimer's?
As Alzheimer's disease gets worse, you will need more help to care for the person. It's okay to seek help whenever you need it. Several kinds of help are available.
- Home health care agencies send a home health aide or nurse to your home to help you care for a person with Alzheimer's. They may come for a few hours or stay for 24 hours and are paid by the hour.
- Meal services bring hot meals to the person's home or your home. The delivery staff does not feed the person. Some groups do not charge for their services. Others may charge a small fee.
- Adult day care services provide a safe environment, activities, and staff who take care of the person with Alzheimer's at their own facility. Many programs provide transportation between the person's home and the facility. Watch a video to see what services adult day care provides.
- Geriatric care managers visit your home to assess your needs and suggest and arrange home-care services. They charge by the hour. Most insurance plans don't cover these costs.

Ripoff Report
Alpine Access1120 Lincoln Street Denver, Colorado USA
Alpine Access Sykes Home powered by Alpineaccess Misrepresentation of Working from Home Denver Colorado
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Sykes Home powered by Alpine Access supposedly has work from home cutomer service jobs available. I Was interviewed and hired recently on Aug 1 2013 after getting all of the pre-employment paperwork needed and fininshed the company was having issues with their systems, some docusign system that they use to verify your signature electronically. However, after fininishing most of the paperwork the only portion they did not process was the I-9 and a Authorization Form that has to be signed by anyone other than a realitive. So the next week starting Aug 5 I called to make sure everything was done they said I would start training on the 19th. So I get a welcome email on Aug 7 saying we are delighted to have you join the AT&T team! So after speaking with a pre-employment representive she explains that I have to redo the I-9 form and fax it back. So too make a long story short I followed up with this company everyday for 2 weeks I spoke with several preemployment representives about starting on Aug 19, but currently I am just sitting in limbo in which the company has taken all my personal info including my drivers license, and ssn card. I spoke too Kelly Sue, Lawanda Ervin, Katherine Osborn, Missy Futrell, and Amber Cain which are all part of some scheme in the preemployment department. Then I had someone by the name of Taran at 303-850-3877 to call me on Sat and lie to me saying I was all set and ready to start training on Monday Aug 19th. Then finally I was told to email someone else by the name of Penny Ussery in which I got no communication was so ever after emailing her 3 times. So currently I am sitting in limbo in their systems after taking a urine drug test and paying $45 dollars in an background check. Do yourself a favor do not attempt to apply with this company no matter how professional they may seem to be. The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.

You didn't do something right......
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, July 23, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, July 23, 2014
I was hired by Alpine Acess and just finished nesting today. Yes, there was a glitch with the I-9, but it all got resolved. At the time of your interview, you are given the e-mail address of your recruiter/interviewer. You were also sent an offer letter. You were given system access where you uploaded all of your documents and retreived the I-9 forms, got your drug screen papers and instructions for the background check. This company DOES NOT charge for background checks! Who did you pay for the background check? You obviously went wrong somewhere..... Alpine Access is not a rip off company.

#2 UPDATE Employee
It's not Sykes - it's the progam & the ones who oversee it
SUBMITTED: Friday, October 25, 2013POSTED: Friday, October 25, 2013
I was orginally hired with Alpine Access in 2010 on a gaming program. Much different from the telecommunications program mentioned above. I left early in 2013 to spend time with family and take some time off. I reapplied recently and am currently in phase 2 of the nesting. As of today, I will not be returning. As stated above there are many promises, issues and I do agree the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
I was not happy with the training I was receiving from day 10 on - I went to whomever I could to register my concerns and complaints about the trainer we had. I truly believe my trainer did not know her materials, and therefor could not convey to us anything about what we "really needed to know". I did not miss a week trying to find help to get me into a different training environment with a different trainer.
From my past experience, I felt comfortable about going up the ladder to get issues resolved. Well this time the ladder crashed down on my head. There is supposed to be a confidentiality policy that allows you to speak your concerns without fear of retribution. WRONG! I had spoken to someone on Friday after taking my final test, as I was through and ready to resign, my issues were not being addressed.
I was talked out of resigning and was told "we need you" "you were a previous top performer" "if you leave then others will follow, because they know you've worked for us before""there going to say if xxx can't make it, how can I" . I thought I'd give it another chance, and then they greet me the next morning to fire me! WOW, talk about the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
I was pulled into a breakout Saturday morning and was told I was no longer needed, that I wasn't a good fit for the program. Oh, previous top performer, but yet I'm not suited for this program at all. ???? Sounds strange right? Well I stood my ground and asked for higher ups to be brought into this breakout.
Each time they would answer with "they are aware of the decision and all have agreed" - I mentioned the lady I had spoke with the day before that talked me into staying "she is aware and was part of the meeting last evening and was also in agreement" How tacky is that? Well I've about had all the stress I can handle as it has made me physically sick. I have packed up my AIB and it is going back as I'm typing this.
I just want to say it's not "Sykes powered by Alpine" that's bad. It's the people they choose to be in leadership and they do not provide you with the information whom to reach out to when you have an issue. HR will not return my phone calls. That's why I've decided to give up on this company, I should have went back to my original program, but thought this one sounded good for a change.
I was WRONG and just want to say, don't let everything you read on these pages discourage you from attempting to hire onto a good program. If you are interested in finding that good program, go to Facebook to the company's website and chat with someone there that is not in management. The gaming program was excellent while I was there - I was in that program almost 2 years. LOVED IT! But from the sound of it, and my expereince, the mobile telecommunications program needs some revamping.
Good luck in your work from job hunt - there are good jobs out there! But just remember, you have to have some bad to appreciate the good. God Bless and know that a higher power has your back!

Leadership Innovation
SUBMITTED: Saturday, October 19, 2013POSTED: Saturday, October 19, 2013
I was eventually hired after posting a similar report earlier about this same company. After finally being hired on September4 ,2013 and contacting their employment services numerous time. I started the training which ended yesterday on 10/18/2013. The company gets a large turnover for the AT&T Mobility IRU account which a lot of work from home companies has adopted. We started out with 27 people in the training class and ended up with only 13 people before starting nesting today as of 10/19/2013. We had 2 trainers for the length of the period. The first trainer was excellent he allowed people to ask questions, got everyone involved in the environment by learning the systems and it started as a relaxed environment. I was already familiar with some of the applications and software for the AT&T Mobility IRU program that I worked for with the previous company. So I tried to assist others that were struggling with problems that they were having. The first trainer I had was amazed at my willingness to assist and wanted to promote me as a coach after the training completed. He was a black male trainer but knew how to do his job and understand everyone's issue. The next week he was suddenly removed from his position as trainer. Then we had a Caucasian female to take over his position the people in the class ask what happen to Kwaku Grriffiths and the new Caucasian female instructor said he was no longer with the company.
Next, the Caucasian female was Mendy Pope who was the second trainer. She was totally the opposite of Kwaku Griffiths. Mendy Pope was already working over 140 hours in a single work week so she was not only a trainer but manager, coach, and ATL. Currently as I was continuing to offer assistance to some of the people Mendy Pope had become very offensive of me in particular. I do not understand why but there was only 3 males in our group as opposed to 25 females overall. After having Mendy Pope as our new trainer she wrote me up over personal reasons which had nothing to do with me being a new hire still in training. As of today I was terminated over personality reasons relating to the team but it had nothing to do with my performance since I had not started the job yet and I was still in nesting.

#4 UPDATE Employee ..inside information
The reply is biased
SUBMITTED: Saturday, October 05, 2013POSTED: Saturday, October 05, 2013
this reply is ridulous.
1.M when the system goes down, your still working and do not get paid. they have a process that you can start a ticket to get paid, but that process is so non efficient that the hours it takes to file you may aswell just forget it.
2. you set your schedule then you get a call at 6:10 am saturday morning that your late for your shift because they added you to the schedule friday night while you were sleeping......who checks their emails 24hrs?
3. if your expecting vacation, gOod luck! they say book in advance 2 weeks. i booked my trip with 3 months notice and they cancelled it and now out my money. they said they need extra hours and no vacation. is this even legal?
4. supervisors are miserable and unforgiving.
5. if you have the flu good luck and be prepared to work sick! even doctors letters will not help you!!!
6. they dangle carrots in front of your face telling you they have discounts etc. but when you apply for them, the answer is always ill check and you never get them!
7. started with a group of 20 in training and after 9 months I am the only one left from my group! with a 5 percent retention, what does that tell you?
8. part time is considered 40 hours and full time is 60, if this does not work for you then your not wanted.
9. you must paint 60 hour availabiliity then they tell you when your working......never know week to week.
10. hiigh pressure sales. if you do not add your sale blurb in on a customer complaint call, say bye bye
11. be prepared to get fired over anything. lack of sales, poor availability, being sick....
Overall the benefits of working from home are completely offset with the above. my notice just went in.
I'd rather quit then commit suicide as this is how this cmpany made me feel.......suicidal.
Good luck and may god be with you.

The company you just described, is not the company I know. I am working will Alpine Access for almost 2 yrs now and my experience for the most part has been great. No place is perfect, but I am comfortable there. The hiring process for me was quite smooth, as a matter of fact any delays was on my part, because I did not provide all the required info. They were gracious enough to give me additional time to submit my documents. Everyone I dealt with was quite professional.
Right now I know of persons who have transferred over to that program you mentioned, and I haven't heard any complaints.
My advice don't give up. I have benefits (401k, dental insurance, vision insurance) and they offer other incentives as well for differerent programs. I am a work at home agent with all these benefits. It's not a bad place to work and they have some wonderful people to work with.

Why not trim it to keep it neat, just as you do your head and face? Next thing you know, mullahs will be banning eyebrow grooming. Oh, right, they already did. No, I say groom for moderation and perfection, wherever hair is found.

BeschreibungIn this revealing collection of essays, Vonnegut examines the issues and events (both personal and social) that shaped the last decade. Ranging from an intimate portrait of his family to a biting commentary of ex-son-in-law Geraldo Rivera to the 1945 firebombing of Dresden, Germany, where he was a POW, this book "offers a rare insight into an author who has customarily hidden his heart" (New York Times).
PortraitKurt Vonnegut, one of the most acclaimed American writers of the past century, died in New York City on April 11, 2007. He was the "New York Times" bestselling author of fourteen novels, including such literary classics as "Slaughterhouse-Five," "Cat's Cradle" and "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater." Penguin Group (USA) was fortunate to publish several of Mr. Vonnegut's books, including the novels "Timequake" and "Hocus Pocus" as well as a collection of short fiction, "Bagombo Snuff Box."

Under the Dome episode 10
Last week's pleasant surprise of an episode kept a pleasant trend into this week. The drama keeps getting better and better, with many twists that are making this dome worth viewing. There's another big death, the egg is causing more controversy and Junior is still nuts.
Max has established a presence under the dome past Barbie and Jim, she has created a Fight Club-like underground arena for all of the citizens to come down and fight or bet on the lives of others. Now granted, it's not to the death, but it's close. It is uncanny in similarities to the same situation from Walking Dead's season 3 arena, minus the zombies. Now, the main question from this, is how did Max set all of this up, complete with an economy of food and supplies used as barter, while we didn't meet her until last week? The real answer is a little sloppy writing, but storyline wise it doesn't add up. That nonsense and unoriginality aside, it's not that bad. We get to see Max force Barbie to fight another guy in a decent fight scene, it fun. Barbie also turns the tables of Max, while clearly wants Barbie...in other ways. Barbie cuts lose her reigns of control by confessing to Julia that he killed her husband. Julia takes it conveniently well, and this takes Max's leverage away from him.
Speaking of leverage, Jim frees himself from Max, in other ways. Jim tries to go undercover and find where Max lives under the dome. This takes him to a secluded house on its own little island, under the care of Max's mother. We learn that Max and her mom live out there to avoid the chaos of everybody else, in their mansion of a house, how convenient that was there. Max's mother explains to Jim, at gunpoint, that Max has explained everything to her how corrupt Jim is. Max's mom knows everything about Jim and Barbie, thus making her the leverage that Max had over our 2 "heroes." Jim takes her out for a boat ride, and they talk about things happening for a reason, and learning to just let them happen. Then, well, we won't be seeing the mom again. I can't spoil everything now. I will say, that this scene cements the evil in Jim. The look on his face was nothing short of menacing and demented. Jim is a threat, and we may be seeing where Junior gets his personality from.
Speaking of Junior, he was a mixed batch this week. He was doing solid being a police officer, stopping a criminal and trying to get into the fighting arena, but then when it came to his interactions with Angie, Joe and Norrie, he was a bit off. Joe gets furious at Junior for kidnapping Angie and goes to hit him, Junior puts him in a headlock and yells at them for going into the room with his mom's stuff. Seriously, it was ridiculous. However, with Junior's handprint, they tried to make it a twist but it's easy to see, they unlocked a big secret of the mini dome with egg. It answers some questions and creates more. It is VERY interesting where they go now with it because this has been built up, but we have more reveals to go.
Overall, Under the Dome has found its stride. The drama is very good, because we are getting to the root of the dome's mystery. It's a beautiful thing, because we are gaining more and more confusion, yet it is getting better with these past couple episodes. There are still some lower-tier characters that aren't as good. Mainly Julia and the other deputy who are learning about the old cop who died at the beginning of episode 1's involvement with Max suddenly is the only plot line going on. Also, the chubby dj tried to find the egg-dome, and got shocked from it and lost memory of doing it...in the first 15 minutes. It's little things like that, that really show that these characters are not in as much focus, and not as developed. Thusly, they are weak links. However, the main drama and characters were good this week, that's enough to get a thumbs up.
I give Under the Dome episode 10 a very pink 4 out of 10.

Merck Coughs Up $688M in Lawsuit Settlements
Merck & Co. said yesterday it agreed in principle to shell out $688 million to settle two federal securities class-action lawsuits, in which plaintiffs alleged they lost money because the pharma giant waited two years to disclose the failure of a 2006 clinical trial for the blockbuster cholesterol drug Vytorin.
Merck said it would pay $215 million to resolve one of the securities class-action lawsuits against the company and some of its executives, as well as $473 million to resolve an earlier securities class action against predecessor Schering-Plough Pharmaceuticals and several of its executives.
Merck acquired Schering-Plough in 2009. Before the merger, the companies collaborated in developing Vytorin, which came to market in 2004, and last year generated more than $1.7 billion in sales.
Vytorin is a combination of pre-merger Merck's Zocor (simvastatin) and Schering's Zetia (ezetimibe) designed to lower LDL or "bad" cholesterol. Last year, Zetia generated almost $2.6 billion in sales; Zocor lost U.S. patent protection in 2006.
In 2005, Merck and Schering-Plough launched a clinical study comparing the drug candidate to simvastatin, hoping to show that, like Zocor, Vytorin could also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by thinning the carotid artery wall.
The study, called ENHANCE or "Effect of Combination Ezetimibe and High-Dose Simvastatin vs Simvastatin Alone on the Atherosclerotic Process in Patients with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia," proved disappointing. The shareholder plaintiffs argued that Merck and Schering-Plough knew the results in 2006 but did not disclose those results until the 2008 American Conference of Cardiology. Shares of Merck fell nearly 15% and Schering-Plough almost 21% on March 31, 2008, the first trading day after full trial results were released.
The plaintiffs—investors who purchased Merck and Schering-Plough shares between December 2006 and March 2008—filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, where the case is still active, pending approval of the settlement by Judge Dennis M. Cavanaugh.
To account for the settlement, Merck said, it recorded a pre-tax and after-tax charge of $493 million, reflecting anticipated insurance recoveries. The charge will reduce the company's previously reported fourth-quarter 2012 GAAP earnings per share (EPS) results from 46 cents to 30 cents per share, as well as full-year 2012 GAAP results, which will also shrink EPS from $2.16 to $2.00, but did not change previously reported non-GAAP results.
In a statement, Merck said it "continues to believe that both companies acted responsibly in connection with the ENHANCE study," and cited the absence in the settlement agreement of any admission of liability or wrongdoing.
"This agreement avoids the uncertainties of a jury trial and will resolve all of the remaining litigation in connection with the ENHANCE study," Bruce N. Kuhlik, Merck's executive vp and general counsel, said in a statement. "We believe it is in the best interests of the company and its shareholders to put this matter behind us, and to continue our focus on scientific innovations that improve health worldwide."

COMMUNITY leaders today hit out at plans to build hundreds of new houses in the Capital which will swallow up five football pitches.
The pitches in Craigmillar - four at Hunter's Hall Park and one in Cairntows - have been earmarked for almost 300 new houses.
The development would be part of the Craigmillar Urban Design Framework, a 15-year scheme drawn up by the council and its arms-length development firm, EDI, to rejuvenate the area.
But the community council has criticised the proposed destruction of a popular green space and said developers need to go back to the drawing board.
A football barn containing 12 pitches is to be built on the site of the Jack Kane Centre, as part of a new 28 million sports facility including a 250-metre velodrome and curling rink.
With another well-used community pitch at Cairntows Park identified in the plans as a good site for office space, the community could possibly lose five pitches.
And replacing this with one football facility is, in the eyes of the community council, simply not good enough.
David Walker, secretary of the Craigmillar Community Council, said: "These pitches are very well used by the local community and there are at least five or six games of football played on them every week. They are used by youth teams and by amateur footballers, so it is the whole age range.
"There is a serious concern among people here that this new development will do little to help the community. They are proposing destroying public green spaces without replacing them
The proposed development is expected to cost around 180m and would see 3200 homes, a new high street and at least four schools built in the area, roughly doubling the community's population. But residents have criticised the plans.
Robert Kidd, the manager of Castle Vale club who use the pitches at Cairntows, said if the plans went ahead it would be the second time the club had been forced to move because of development.
He said: "This would take away our independence as we have built a good home ground here and have invested in a pavilion.
"There are people from 19 to 40 that play for the club in the Edinburgh Sunday amateurs league and that could be taken away."
The pitches at the Jack Kane Centre are used for football by more than 100 people every week, while many more walk there. Paul Nolan, former Labour councillor and chairman of the Jack Kane Centre management committee, said the football barn would not be an adequate replacement.
He said: "It is not open space and this is not just about football.
"You could not walk through this new centre, and there would be a loss of a valuable public parkland. If the population here is to be doubled, which could be a very good thing for the area, then we need more open spaces, not less.
A public meeting to discuss the plans is to be held in the Hays Business Centre on Tuesday
at 6.30pm.
Councillor Ricky Henderson, Edinburgh's culture and leisure leader, said: "Under current planning guidelines, the council is not allowed to dispose of any pitches unless it can be shown that they will be re-provided in some way in the same area.
"I would certainly not support any development that would mean a loss of football pitches and I do not believe that will be the case here."

School Lunches & Obesity
Since we have been talking about healthier school lunches, I thought I would share with you an interesting article in last month's Pediatrics which related to regulations on school snacks.
While the nutrition standards for school meals changed for the 2012-2013 school year, the new guidelines do not effect foods in vending machines, snack bars or other venues within the school that are not a part of the regular school meal programs. These foods (typically snacks and drinks) are termed competitive foods as they compete with school breakfasts and lunches.
This study looked at weight changes for 6,300 students between 2004-2007 and followed the students from fifth to eighth grade. They found that adolescents in states with strict laws regulating the sale of competitive foods gained less weight over this 3 year period than those living in states without laws.
As the childhood obesity epidemic continues (the CDC now estimates that 1/5 of American children are obese), public health officials continue to look at ways to improve a child's eating habits during the school day. The laws surrounding snack foods at school differ by state. There are no laws in some states, weak laws (where recommendations were made but there were no specific guidelines), and strong laws (where detailed nutritional standards were issued).
The study did not conclude that strong laws were directly responsible for the differences in a student's weight gain, but it did conclude that these outcomes tended to happen in states with strong laws. That would seem to make sense to me as most children including my own, if given the opportunity, would at times choose vending machine snacks over a healthy school lunch.
I also think that this is more common as the children become teens and seem to snack for lunch while multi-tasking rather than sitting down to eat a well balanced lunch. I continually hear this comment from adolescent patients of mine when I ask them about their lunch habits, and many of whom eat off campus if allowed, and choose fast foods over a healthy school cafeteria lunch. Off school lunches seem to be another issue as well.
One of the lead authors on the study stated, competitive-food laws can have an effect on obesity rates if the laws are specific, required and consistent. It seems like this might be a good cause to discuss with your own state representative.

text: Just read a review... there are a couple other cars involved, but this is what stuck. The new Honda Civic Si is FASTER than the new 2.5L 4 pot brake 17" wheel equipped WRX on the test track they used. 1/4 mile belongs to the WRX, but they have the same trap speeds... so that means they are evenly matched in horsepower, traction is the only difference. On top of that the Civic Si is supposed to be available for under $20,000 with a LSD and 6-speed tranny... and it will respond VERY WELL to basic bolt ons, as the RSX-S did... in my eyes, quite an extraordinary value. Should make for a great track, canyon, daily driver. (especially with touch screen navigation)

Review Mississippi State University
My overall experience at Mississippi State has been great. Coming here has allowed me to grow, meet different people from all over the world, and experience great opportunities with their wonderful organizations. I feel my school is unique because no other college can throw a football game like Mississippi State, no other college could help my growth experience as Mississippi State has, and no other college could provide some of the most carrying faculty as Mississippi State. I would choose Mississippi State University again because being here makes me feel at home!
Mississippi State is a fantastic school. I would say they do put a little more into the athletics than they do students. For instance, they expect students to donate to the athletic fund and move their cars during athletic events to make room for the visitors. Overall, I love attending here!
I absolutely love Mississippi State! It's a wonderful college to attend. I'm a Finance major and it takes a lot of hard work and deducation. There are so many opportunities and organizations available here. I'm currently in an organization called IDEAL women and it's full of phenomenal women. This campus is full of life and we're always looking for someone new to be apart of th bulldog family! Go bulldogs!

Hallo Dr. Cox
I am very new to Stata. I just have learnt to use it during the months
of April - June of this year (2007). Here is how I did it. I got hold
of a copy of Stata 9. Then I googled for "introduction to Stata+pdf"
and phrases like that, which resulted in a lot of downloadable pdf
files containing a lot of introductory information. One of my friends
had also done something like that and I got some materials from him as
well. Then I kept on reading those materials and practiced them on
stata, This game me some idea about how stata works and all that. Once
I had some idea i searched for the stata reference manuals in the
library and refered to them a little bit. After that I got a few
projects where I could use Stata. And now I can use Stata a little bit
(of course I cannot yet write commands like those experienced people
who contribute to SSC).
Thank you

I hear fewyn is a @#$%^, c/d?Huzzah something to do.edit:censor ftl :(
Nice, at least my server wasn't affected by the 24-hour maintenance and I'll be able to perhaps give it a shot tonight.I can only imagine the tear fest on the official forums..
They said they would wait for other regions before opening the Ruby Sanctum. Weird.Anyway, I don't care that much.
Yay! :D After I discovered that the 24 hour maint. was today, I feared the 10 man I set up for tonight would be stuck going through lower spire... (again. qq) It'll rock to have something new to try out.
Time to drop some epic gems and belt buckles in the AH for redonkulous prices...
Really? I was just on and it was locked still...
I just want to do it once before I leave for 6 weeks vacation.Something tells me when I get back 5700 gearscore is going be "undergeared" for this place.lawl.
LFM Ruby Sanctum. Must have 6.5k GS and Achievement.Seriously though, how geared should you be to consider doing this raid? Geared from ICC or geared for ICC?
No, it hasn't. Everyone gets a shot at the world firsts and many realms are down for 24 hour maintenance. This thread needs to be deleted or locked.
Yup.It's very much up.I dunno if it's actually accessible, but...I don't really care, either. I just know in the Raid interface, it's selectable.
Can't wait to see the stream of butthurt players who are going to cry about not getting a chance at world first. I believe there's one in this thread right now!
apparently it is up, cond on moon gaurd i guess is doing it, somehow. and there are people in it with /who. but still, this very much upsets me, as half the servers arent even up yet, i thought they werent going to do that. w/e. 90% of the gear in it sucks ass anyway.
I'm in it right now. Haven't started clearing trash yet.
My guess is that Blizzard intended to open the Ruby Sanctum later, but then screwed it up, and now try to cover it up.Either way, I don't really care about not being able to get the World First achievement, I was already counting on that anyway. I just want to have a fun fight and get good drops as a reward! :-D
if we in europe dont get 3.3.5 im going to suicide bomb blizz HQ...

Sadness at sister's passing tempered by happy memories
My little sister Virginia passed away last week.
Of course, she wasn't really "little" anymore. She was 86 years old, a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
But to me she will always be my "little" sister because my fondest memories of her are of those now long ago days when we were both children growing up together.
Her obituary, which was published in the Herald News, said she had been born in West New York and lived in Clifton since 1954.
The facts are right. However, the obituary failed to mention that she had been raised in Bergenfield, where our family moved in 1928when she was still a baby in a carriage and I was 5 years old.
She was, in fact, a member of the first class to graduate from Bergenfield High School. I think that was in 1943.
Dad had moved the family from New York City's Hell's Kitchen to New Jersey and, after a brief stay in West New York — which I'm not sure I remember — we moved into our new home on Bradley Avenue.
It was where my sister and I would grow up, and mom and dad would live until they grew old.
In those days, Bradley Avenue ended several blocks beyond our own house where it tapered off into a dirt road and then into a winding path which disappeared into the woods between Bergenfield and Tenafly.
The house itself was typical of most of those on our block. It had a small living room, dining room, kitchen and "sun parlor" on the ground floor; three bedrooms and the only bathroom upstairs, along with a driveway and a garage in the back yard; all squeezed into a 50-by-100 foot plot.
Two of the bedrooms – the larger ones – were at the front of the house. The third – which was much smaller – was across from the bathroom.
My mom and dad naturally got one of the larger rooms; my little sister got the other one; and I got the small one.
But, I really didn't mind that because it was all my own — and I soon discovered I could climb out the window onto the sun parlor roof.
Actually, I never really resented the fact that Virginia sometimes seemed to get preferential treatment because, as dad would constantly remind me, she was my "Little Sister" and, as her "Big Brother," I was expected to help take care of her.
But, since I was a small child myself at the time, dad brought home an Airedale one day to help protect her.
When mom would put Virginia outside in her carriage, the Airedale would dutifully lie down on the sidewalk beside her.
The problem was that he wouldn't even let anyone go by on the sidewalk.
Eventually, dad gave the dog to the owner of a garage on Washington Avenue; and we later heard that when a burglar broke into the office one night, the dog chased him out through the window.
However, as any "Big Brother" would probably agree, as "Little Sisters" grow older they aren't averse to occasionally taking advantage of their status.
Virginia was no exception.
For example, there were the Sunday comics. We would spread them out on the living room floor — Krazy Kat, Popeye, Little Orphan Annie — and no matter which one I was reading, Virginia would say she wanted it and grab it from me.

The Office (U.K.) - Season 2 Episodes
The Office (U.K.) - Season 2
Change can be stressful, but manager David Brent thinks he can handle it all. He's got a new boss; he's been recruited to give motivational lectures and has to integrate the serious and dull employees of the Swindon office with his own branch. Elsewhere, Tim had a new office romance and Red Nose Day gives the whole office a chance to unwind. Finchy is still a riot, Kevin still has eczema and Gareth is still the office half-wit.
"Christmas Special (1)"
"Christmas Special (2)"
Merger day in Slough means changes at the Wernham Hogg office - including a few new team members from Swindon. David manages to offend everyone at the same time while introducing his new boss and Tim actually starts to take his job seriously.
Staff appraisals bring out secret confessions; Tim still thinks of returning to school to study psychology, while Dawn reveals she always wanted to be a children's illustrator. David is getting the feeling that he is not very popular with the new employees. Tim and Rachel really hit it off, much to Dawn's discomfort. David attempts to win over the Swindon employees with a lunchtime drinking session.
When Trudy has a birthday, cake isn't the only thing on the menu. Sex toys invade the office, David is offered a second job doing management trainings and jealousy starts to brew around Tim and Rachel's budding relationship.
Tim and Rachel finally appear to have slept together and are confronted by a horrified, confused and jealous Gareth, who realizes he has feelings for Rachel. Gareth finds comfort in the company of Simon the computer geek who is installing a firewall and able to talk authoritatively on all the subjects closest to Gareth's heart. Things seem to be getting worse for David as he first finds out that the staff have given him a nickname and then is reprimanded by Neil for being incompetent.
It's Comic Relief Day and everyone in the office is feeling silly. Keith is squeezed into a bright yellow Ali G costume, Sheila has become Wonder Woman and Gareth is hopping on one leg. The hilarity climaxes when Neil and Rachel stage an impressive dance sequence from Saturday Night Fever in the reception area. Dawn's money raising idea of selling kisses results in a close encounter with Gareth's friend. Things start looking up when Tim puts his money on the table and The Kiss finally happens.
The news of David's dismissal is not having the devastating effect on the office that he would have liked but brighter things are look up since Inside Paper are writing a feature on him. The Kiss on Comic Relief Day seems to have sparked Tim into action and before confronting Dawn with his true feelings, he breaks off his fling with Rachel. David's life goes from bad to worse when he is let go from his public speaking job and in a rage, throws his former employers out of his office.

st: Import multiple excel sheets
Fri, 7 Sep 2012 15:40:07 +0000
Hi all,
I need to import many excel files that each have multiple worksheets and then append them. I have about 51 files that vary in the number of sheets each one has. They are named 'file1' file2' 'file3'...ect. Each sheet is named 'Unit' Unit1' 'Unit2'...ect (Note the first sheet doesn't have a number in its name). I've been thinking about the problem in the following manner, but got stuck because I'm not sure how to import the multiple sheets from each file when each file has a different number of sheets.
forvalues i=1/51{
import excel "C:\Users\file`i'.xls", sheet("Unit") firstrow case(lower) clear
if `i'>1 append using "mainfile"
save "mainfile", replace
Any thoughts?
