Mission Peak: Fremont, California from Ryan Commons on Vimeo.
MISSION PEAK: A Complete Video of the Hike from Stanford Ave.
The hike up Mission Peak is a challenging 1,750 foot climb over 2.9 miles to a view of the entire Bay Area. Oaks, poppies, coyotes, turkeys and squirrels will join you as you ascend to the Bay Area's most rewarding view: 360 degrees that include San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, the Sierras, and rolling California hills. The video below offers a clear idea of what the hike is like and how to prepare for the trail. I also provide planning recommendations, helpful links, and a gear list below.

Ouba: The Great Journey
Reviewed by Yuri Storchak
Genre and what to do:Puzzle. Once prosperous village, called Oubaville was inhabited by amiable creatures - Oubas. But after the evil magic Garouba has cast spells it has turned into a charred wasteland. More than that, Garouba has captured the Oubas and elevate them to such height that the Oubas can't escape from there unaided. Only you can rescue poor creatures and rebuild their village. Your task is to swap multicolored bricks in order to match three or more of the same kind thus destroying them and lower the Oubas to the ground. You won't be alone in your mission since numerous original power-ups come to help you. There are two game modes: Story and Survival that meet the requirements even the most fastidious players.
Style and atmosphere inside the game:Ouba: The Great Journey is a new twist of classic swapping game that features colorful graphics, diverse sound effects, tribal drum soundtracks and good portion of humor. Characters are original and funny, they move comically, so it is fun to watch them. The game contains variety as for game play since after several levels you are offered to play speed rounds where you should save as many Oubas as you can. All in all, though Ouba: The Great Journey doesn't have original game concept, it contains variety of new twists and good portion of humor that make it appealing to wide range of players.

Ancestors of modern yeast strains domesticated in 1600
A new study conducted in Belgium has found that the wild ancestors of most modern beer and winemaking yeast strains were domesticated in around 1600.

According to each other, the Chancellor was "absolutely catastrophically wrong" and the shadow Chancellor had "a stupid plan". Government backbenchers were shocked about the enormous debt they inherited ("Shame! Shame!"). Opposition backbenchers were shocked how borrowing had soared ("Shame! Shame!"). Balls roared the IMF was insisting the Government change course and Osborne croaked the IMF was insisting it didn't.
Leaving aside the Periclean standards of public speaking – many people find themselves taking opposite sides on these matters, so at least they can agree on this: economics is largely a matter of taste.
Nick Clegg chewed his lip at the return of Right to Buy. Stewart Wood masticated gruesomely in the peers gallery. An exuberant Tim Farron seemed to feel his time is approaching, Ken Clarke felt the opposite as he fought against a pre-lunch nap. George's voice started packing up, Ed's bellow was ever more bullish the more bearish he was.
But louder still and louder wasn't enough; in truth, he got the worst of the exchanges. "He complains we borrow too much and urges us to borrow more," Osborne charged. That accusation will always be stronger than its defence. "He clings to the illiteracy that low interest rates are a good thing," Balls said, illustrating an iron law that says anyone using the phrase "economically illiterate" sounds economically illiterate.
Osborne returned – if that were so "Italy is a success and Greece an economic miracle!" This was as deft a reply as he could have hoped for – and it had only taken six weeks to manufacture. Balls found himself on the wrong end of the laughter, most seriously perhaps when he claimed the markets had decided Plan A lacked all credibility with the markets. Whatever the plebs, proles and general public think, the markets are great admirers of Plan A.
For all his stature, Balls lacks one quality leaders need: the talent to attract support. More than 60 per cent of people agree with Balls's suggestion that "the cuts are too fast and too deep". And yet less than half that think he'd do better with the economy than his rival.
Indeed, Osborne was able to finish with: "The Labour Party will never have economic credibility while he is shadow Chancellor."
So there's the consensus proposition. Labour wants Ed Balls in post – but not as much as the Tories do.Reuse content

Forty years after Closely Observed Trains, Jiri Menzel has adapted another of his fellow Czech Bohumil Hrabal's novels. An old man named Jan Dite (Oldrich Kaiser) recalls his youthful adventures as a waiter prior to the Second World War.
The young Jan (Ivan Barnev) is ambitious, propelling himself through the grand halls and hotels of 1930s Prague. Menzel choreographs Jan's story in the manner of a Chaplin, setting his protagonist up for a fall when he meets Hitler-worshipper Lise (Julia Jentsch). The film's compositional wit are clever without ever being that funny, and the psychological shallowness of the antihero becomes too distracting to be enjoyable.

NESN's Jerry Remy joined Dennis and Callahan stating how he sees this as a tight nit ballclub. Remy compares Valentines style of coaching to Francona's, touches on Adrian Gonzalez struggles, and gives his thoughts on the younger players.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
Our conversation -- Jerry Remy is sponsored by a RS restoration specialist property managers and insurance -- depend on -- cover all the disaster bases. When it comes to 24/7 emergency services swing on 28 RS serve dot com to see what they can do for you. And by -- speech recognition software dragon makes it easier for anybody to use computer you talked it -- to visit get dragon dot com. And by our good friends Lexus of watered down inviting you to a new level of excellence 1800. Go lexis. Jerry Jones on the AT&T hotline good morning Jerry Remy how are you are on -- -- very very well. The -- get to run the ball club the last couple days -- at contention is written by buster all make it up as a general kind of jumping off. Point in this discussion does the uncertainty of Youkilis -- situation. And Adrian Gonzalez playing out of position and all the domino effects that come off of that create toxic or tension in a clubhouse generally speaking that kind of thing. I don't think so no I had a lot of back and let that the other side of this thing because. I mean you know as as someone moved around quite a bit. I don't buy that fact at all and the united and there are issues you know the Youkilis situation obviously. You know having been ballots go out there in the outfield we're. You know what you -- did not objected that. I find this group could be a very close knit group to be quite out -- And I don't quite a toxic at all I I I kind of laughed a little bit when I heard that you know just knowing what I know. About these guys so far this season in other issues there were issues with every block there's no question about that I think is you know. Did that feeling out process between the manager of the team was -- -- and have a new manager coming in. There -- those type of things that go on -- -- toxic environment that I don't I. I don't find that at all and I had that kind of laughed when I heard about it because. I find these guys very easy to deal with you know compared to some of the bat lead and then they seem to get along very well. So and they've been through very tough times. You know they've been through times where they've -- and that the club together and to try to maintain. You know -- head above water -- -- can get some guys back and then make a move and as a result. It did I don't quite that way at all let's just might it have been that. Well -- McCadam rights and I know he's around a lot to unlike buster he's there like you all the time he says -- number of players are unhappy. With the lack of communication from the manager's office he said some. Dislike Valentine's unwillingness to tell players ahead of time that they won't be in the lineup the next day. Any quotes of players says that is just is not there. Did you think that could be. An issue. -- that probably some of it you know he has a different style I mean when Francona was dip. The lineup was up every day probably 1 o'clock in the afternoon guys that would not playing. Did not you know they knew the night before that they would not flying. If they were playing into the night before also and ever play -- quite honestly I would like to know. But this is kind of old school ways of doing things and and that's the way Bobby does that. And you know what I put the Dick Williams doing the same way you did an opening day in and day out -- -- -- not. But yet on the other hand that led the guns and you know so I mean you know that's the way he does things that takes some getting used to and I think I think players would like to know. You know if there and then the next day are not going to be in the the next day the night before of and I think they'd like to know early so they can prepare themselves for that particular day but that's his way of doing things. And that's part of the look you know with the money cover of that gap between a manager employers but. It's like they're not by the on the players' side of -- thing I would say -- that I'd I'd like to the lineup you don't like ultimately be in the depth but that's just on his pilot doing things. Putting a lineup or list of players who hurt -- for the public deceit is. Is that some that would bother you if -- player. If I would let you know apparently put out there have been in the press. Now wouldn't bother me I mean you know what you know nobody got to do. I mean there and then everyone knows is starts wonder and when healthy come on back and becomes his daily. Yet there and if you go to the question if if if you know what what's going -- this -- bench. You know -- not playing because the manager of the light come or it could not producing I mean I've you know I had I'd much but I have the information out there -- -- -- -- and I'm about people speculate that I but you know I'm not playing well I'm not and they couldn't. You know you want in net. So I mean I'd I'd much prefer to have to have the information out there that you know something's wrong with me than than not. A jury in your opinion. Do Adrian Gonzales of struggles. Find a simple solution as his routine being changed and playing right field is it's is it that simple or is there more to your estimation. I think there's more to what it is going up the right feel I mean you know I think that you know he's. It's timing has been up he's been playing -- some pitches that you know what they did we we don't normally see him swing that. He's the lead in the strike zone more than I can remember him doing last season. End. You know. It's just attacking the ball you know in the out of of that last -- hit the ball very well. Late in the ballgame a line shot that was more like him. And sometimes it didn't work out like that -- think the quick and you know you searching decision. He's gotten the kind of got it all that these questions always trying to figure out what's wrong you know in his beauty you know trying to figure out you know what what what he's not doing right. And went sometimes you get to me those opinions and it they can drive you crazy. And sometimes the simplest corner and just getting a bases. In the all the sudden something clicks and you're gonna go up there it has -- that simple -- did -- might -- wasn't moving quite as much. And you know what I had I think he's going to be fine I just think that would be the guy that. That has struggled at this point and I think one of the reasons that you had -- been swinging at pitches that you don't normally. Yeah -- you know if they can -- you have to be patient with so far this season. Our guns all the struggles aside are you seeing from your point of view a momentum build on this team and improved look to this team beyond just the fact that the winning some games. Well I yeah I hope so you know EE you know the wouldn't have been that struggle to get to the pilot market you dip below a couple of games come back we've been there a number of times in. You kind of you kind of wink won't get to that market and you know get maybe 567 games over that would you do that. You're right that that happens. I think when you look at it now I think the ruling may be what three games back of the second play. In the division and that's pretty credible committee was considering what's gone on so spot. So we're hoping -- look up from that point do you get a feel pretty good about things but. You know I do feel things coming together you know like they've been working without playing good at -- right -- they come home they've been win two games you know they they should be should be able have a good homestand. With the team they're playing on this homestand felt that would be a big boost for them to get back you know if that's swagger back at Fenway Park. Well you intimidate teams when they come in here. And that would be that would be great -- put them you know to be able to do that they've played decent based on the road is just unexplainable you know why they haven't been able to do at home. Now it seems like -- getting that comfort level and it in the in the you know that feel confident. -- it feel like you know you commit to my house you know you're gonna have to pay for and that kind of -- you have to have. We we don't Ellsbury gets his job back whenever he's ready whenever he's healthy but when Crawford comes back we see this every night you -- show what a mess and we see him throwing and get ready. Does not -- just go to the bench and go to Pawtucket or goal away he's been arguably the best position players that -- And he's he's been a -- and coming up I've ineptitude. Amazing what the guy's done what do you -- to let that out of the leadoff spot I mean you know they put the leadoff spot either draw the walk to get to that. But I'd have to say yeah I'd have to say that would those guys come back and -- and it's totally ready to play. The advantage you give them you know what guys they can -- and not let. Is that don't have the rush these guys you know they don't have that in the regular -- down. To be at the minor leagues and let him get the proper amount that that you know which you know maybe somewhere out there at the at bat. They have it and make them feel like they've been beautiful spring training and they're ready to open the season. You know I think it would have been real problems at those positions you know you may -- with a bit more reluctant to allow the state that extra week. But when they come back in on a quiet and you get you know you've got that Crawford played an adult replaying. And -- that I think you've got to be about lineup so. You know it is just. Right now I mean these guys have been forgotten that it seemed to be able come up and do what they've done. And and keep the Red Sox afloat in the outfield which is that you know put a total medical you know -- after all these. Thought why is it obviously their best buy is Crawford better than them. Well because he's he's got a track record of the agreement that that's simple I mean you know we didn't see it -- here. What we do well I'm very confident we will see it again is highly motivated I mean EEE you know he came in spring training highly motivated he was you know unfortunately -- these things happen to them. He's been working his tail -- out there all the time to get back and get ready and I really think that you got to see the real Kyle -- when he returns and if you see the real Carl Crawford. You know you've seen in the past -- the special level play baseball. End you know hopefully that it is for the -- back tonight I have I have all the belief that it will and so I think we all know what else we can do and we saw last year so I mean that's why I think -- -- about a club when they have those guys in the net but the median. Anything that these guys right now are doing but these guys have done that over and over again and in the -- they would expect that to happen again. Given the injuries that they've dealt with and granted two games over 500 Anthony is not anything to write home about but Ellsbury out Crawford out Bailey out all that. They have by large survived that as we talked about seem to get some momentum going. I guess the reports on Pedroia seemed to be positive yesterday but you never know something like that would that be -- a breaking point if they lost it joy for significant amount of time in terms of his leadership not to mention -- play on the field what he does for the team the club house. Of course that would you know he's been one of the best players do when he's healthy and in baseball and in the it would be. You know would be a terrible blow that -- him for a long time but I don't think there's gonna be the case and I think he's got a little back and -- -- there. You know that that he got -- from getting jammed in every -- -- him you know it is it really -- you like it did the other night. In this speaking with them yesterday you know look early in the afternoon he felt good and he really felt good to try to make it went to the lineup but Bobbie you know there's no -- -- that they -- take today off one more day off what has been settled out -- -- In maybe you can get in there tomorrow so you know and he wasn't happy about it because you want to play every that he feels like he's legacy mentality doesn't -- so. -- it could get nagging thing because you know defending his hand which doesn't happen very often with him. But if that does happen I mean that couldn't live rock bottom lip maybe games we've got a bit a couple of games in a row you know what you wanna do nothing structurally wrong. Where you need surgery you know if he'll be okay. But if -- go down long term -- you know of course that would -- the -- -- Article double back to where we started that's the toxic and attention thing and David Ortiz stood up made a point of standing up yesterday and said. This is my bleak and clubhouse I've run this clubhouse and there's nothing wrong with anything is going on in here what does that do for the other 24 guys on the team a Jerry went winning here. It's probably make them -- You know I mean it because he's a guy that that everybody respects I mean you need you know he gets respect of his teammate. You get the respect of his manager he gets respect to the front office the ownership. The players the media everybody respect David Ortiz. And let you know when he is playing like it's toxic clubhouse is that bad bothered him and because he's one of the guys that's always going around hugging people you know try every every day what city -- got a good frame of mind every day and he walks by don't say hello everybody you know and I mean he's. That kind of guy to have around and it is good clubhouse now you know and some of the other veterans have gone I think he feels like he. You can take more of a leadership role now that that would let the other guys have gone in a guy like Varitek and Wakefield. And and I think that he's doing that and employers and respected immensely. So I mean it's you know they have the -- that something may lessen. And then it's been kind of a running joke over the last couple days about the pocket you know it is it has been kind of funny. Darnell McDonald yesterday I was sitting in the club -- -- be -- and everybody's laughing and giggling and he goes up the -- Look what I view -- that no not at all because so. I mean it you know that that is one of those things they came out that. -- -- -- caught with them and it was a good thing in the long run right you know maybe in the long run it today if you know it may abilities upset. And then we're -- -- get along here what what went to baseball game. Couldn't just be Youkilis couldn't just be this as we all agree it's on and write run on -- I -- I'm I'm just saying it's a tough to -- it's. It's it's untenable you know this -- logjam these guys playing out of position everyone I was gonna get traded so naturally this going to be tension once he's traded. Can will that all change and it won't be happy. Well -- -- -- -- I mean you know and in the middle Brooks will get to play every day but the thing is you know if the hardwood because it. He's he's been such a popular and good play here you know and all of a sudden you know he didn't name names out there. And this without you know from other teams coming a look at him in the trade that all the talk has been about trade him and I can tell you we'll play -- -- have you. That's not easy to deal with. When you have no idea what your future is going to be whether it's going to be. You know here in Boston all you know what somewhere else. We're ultimately going to be is gonna be a plate so light to go. You know it the book about those things we have gotten bit up in it and it could affect back performance. Speaking of toxic final question. Well where were you when you were denied admission into the ballpark what's it was that. But I wouldn't -- I would really good at Wrigley Field so yes you're sitting outside you don't very pleased to did you resist the temptation to say don't you know who I am. No no I never dropped out once. I just tried to explain to the night gentleman that I do the games on TV for the Red Sox. Any wasn't very nice guy the guy had it and decided that he really couldn't do anything it was a lady was supposed to be that it didn't show up so -- bill we were very very very polite to the guy in he's good I'm sorry I can't help you you know you gotta wait. This lady that come and I -- you know and what people applying by the mean everybody the public plan I had. If I wouldn't let Jenny in the ballpark. Doubt they would that type -- -- what they would rather than we just we just sit there waiting to the right credentials. Yeah how we got the credentials we know we going to have been did this the first time and effort I meant that I happen I don't out of get a but.

Osama Bin Laden - Has Binby HUMERUS - Media Epicondyle
Collect your choice of gallery quality Giclée, or fine art prints custom trimmed by hand in a variety of sizes with a white border for framing.
The US Government said "we've Killed Bin Laden - but you can't see the body - we've already disposed of it - at sea." And it all took place on an almost worldwide recognised public holiday weekend with most people's attention in other directions. So when everyone returns to normal routine it's 'all over' - you know those satellites that can photograph a car license plate from outer space? Yet they weren't able to track Bin Laden's accomplices for the past 10 years without success in finding one of the world's tallest men, because he didn't stick out enough? - well it doesn't matter - it's all over, happened when you weren't paying attention - the US Navy Seals got him. They could just as easily have released a statement about Bin Laden saying: "At the time of his death he had a broom stick stuck up his arse and his todger stuck inside the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner. As we've already buried him, you'll just had to take our word for it. He was also found wearing a ladies bra and panties - but these were also buried with him, so again you'll just have to take our word for it". If there's no body - you can say anything you like - no one can contradict you. At the time of the sea burial wasn't there someone thinking "Is this a good idea - they will believe us, won't they?" But no, clearly Islamic burial traditions take precedence over US terrorist policy.

Poultry industry in the UK has a good future ahead
NewsTuesday 05 November 2013
The poultry industry in the UK has plenty of potential for the future according to the President of the NFU Peter Kendall.
Mr Kendall made this statement yesterday, when he also stated that there were a number of exciting opportunities facing the sector.
Speaking at the Egg and Poultry Industry Conference (EPIC) in Warwickshire yesterday, he said: "Poultry represents the biggest meat sector in the UK and must continue to demonstrate why it should be seen as an exciting, innovative industry that is increasingly competitive while at the same time building capacity to feed a growing UK population."
He also stated that an environment should be created in order to allow poultry businesses to have the confidence and opportunity to invest.
"Let's address market failure and iron-out volatility to enable the entire food supply chain to grow," he continued.
Mr Kendall even went on to speak about the horsemeat scandal, which took place earlier this year. He stated that the scandal presented a "fantastic opportunity" as the supermarkets then went to shorten their supply chains and stock more British produce.
He said: "Consumers are increasingly showing their support for British farming so we need to continue to promote British poultry as an affordable, healthy, versatile protein food.
"There will be difficulties to overcome in delivering this exciting future - a fair and better functioning supply chain will be key to getting transparency and putting more British food on more British plates, overcoming planning issues to create high welfare sheds, we need to access competitively priced feed, but most of all we must be able to attract young people to this technological sector.
"We must work together to ensure any breaks in these developments are addressed as speedily as possible.
"I'm really optimistic that the poultry industry can embrace these challenges and has a bright future."
The EPIC conference is held annually, this years event was the 47th. The theme for this year's conference is 'Embracing the Demands of Consumers & Society'.

How Measles Attacks
J Thoendell stashed this in Science
Source: http://motherboard.vice.com/read/how-mea...
But what is measles exactly? The virus's consequences are about the most uncomfortable-looking thing imaginable—a full-body mat of lesions and blisters—but how does it go about achieving such gruesome effects?
The virus hails from the same family, paramyxoviridae, as deadly viral pneumonia and the since-eradicated rinderpest, an epizootic (animal) disease blamed for the deaths of many millions of cattle and wild animals. Not bad for a molecular structure so simple that it barely qualifies (if it does at all) as being alive in the first place. More so, it's like a tiny machine, a biological landmine packing genetic material instead of explosives.
The measles is transmitted via aerosolized droplets and it doesn't take much. Droplets can hang around in closed environments for up to two hours, but more likely you'd catch it in the usual way of being coughed on or near by someone carrying the virus.
The "secondary attack rate" for people exposed to the virus is upwards of 90 percent. To put that into perspective, the secondary attack rate for the flu is between 10 and 20 percent and around 3 percent for full-blown tuberculosis, while the risk of HIV transmission is roughly around 1 percent per exposure (a rough average of exposure types). Using the r_0 value for measles—how many secondary infections are likely to result from a primary infection—it's about the most infectious thing going with a value of 18. HIV is down at 4 infections per primary and the mumps comes in closest at 10.
(Note however that r_0 values are dynamic, and those are just some recent estimates.)
Basically, the virus finds its way to some healthy cell and chemically binds to it using one of three surface glycoproteins, which are the proteins projecting from cells in order to mediate cell-to-cell interactions. The virus then fuses with its target cell and starts making new genetic material. This becomes the viral mRNA that will go on to "hack" the target cell, which will in turn go on to make more viruses and the process repeats again and again while you start to feel like shit as the infection builds.
With measles (and most viruses you're likely to catch), the dominoes start to fall within lung tissues, where they prey on immune system early-warning defenders:macrophages and dendritic cells. Next, its viral armies move deeper into the immune system, invading lymph nodes and and latching onto white blood cells, who then go on to spread the virus around the body. "The spleen, lymph nodes, liver, thymus, skin, and lungs are eventual destinations for the virus," David Shultz writes for Science.

Research by one of the world's most influential scientists suggests the age of infectious disease control is almost over. Professor George Poste, an adviser to President Bush, claims that by 2010 scientists will have to begin the search for new drugs.
He claims a "window of vulnerability" will be open for the next five years when the toll of the superbug will reach its peak as a result of antibiotic resistance.
"Frankly, most governments are asleep at the switch," said Professor Poste, director of the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University. "We are facing a relentless increase in antibiotic resistance."
Figures released last week revealed deaths caused by MRSA in British hospitals have doubled since 2001 to almost 1,000 a year. Some strains are now resistant to all common antibiotics.
Meanwhile, the World Health Organisation claims the world is poorly prepared for a possible bird flu pandemic with only a dozen countries purchasing significant quantities of anti-viral drugs, and just 50 with contingency plans in place to cope.

Edwin Mills by Equator
22 Mills Place
Pasadena, CA 91105
Map it!
|Phone :
|Description :
|22 Mills Place in Pasadena has a storied history. Edwin Mills Restaurant is its future. Built in 1894, the site began as the China Palace. In the following 120 years, the location has housed a thriving marketplace, a stable, a mechanic shop, a storage space, and the popular Equator Café. Under the creative guidance of Teddy and his staff, Equator has matured from coffee shop and hookah bar to internet café, to restaurant-bar. Edwin Mills provides a haven for locals who desire a sophisticated space filled with art, quality cocktails, and a new urban American menu in the gastropub-tavern style. As the next step in 22 Mills Places identity, Edwin Mills takes its name from the roads intersecting at its door: Mills Place and Edwin Alley, both named in the late nineteenth century to honor Pasadena entrepreneurs. Participating in this tradition of entrepreneurship, Edwin Mills breathes new life into the location.

text: Just a question as I am not 100% sure myself so I thought I would ask to save myself time trying to figure it out as I'm a little pushed for time to sit & have a look. Got a system was a 500w value PSU, Dual Core AMD cpu, 4gig ddr2, 2 hdd's & a 3780 GPU. Recently I added the second HDD which is a 320gig sata drive. Now this is my grandad's system so that's why it's out dated but anyways. I had a look & the hdd shows up in my computer & is shown up in Device manager list. However, when I try to use Nero to burn a movie to DVD, the hard drive completely vanishes from my system & my gpu display driver stops responding & restarts itself. After this happens, I reboot & the hdd is still missing, but doing a scan in device manager for new hardware it detects it & installs it & it works just perfectly fine then on until I try to transcode the movie with nero before it burns to dvd. Now, Could this be insufficient power from the psu causing the hardware instability or to completely power off? as transcoding movie's to dvd use's the cpu fully & also uses the GPU more which means more power drain. never happens with anything else other than when trying to burn the movie to dvd.

The Ever-Maintaining Saga of William Cabana hasn't been mentioned yet, or Weep Infant Weep. Both good songs. Oh, and the album opener, Returning to the Soviet Union.

You know, the song about the person who persistently refuses to present another person his/her needed funds.

Don't forget Spirit of Latex!
(BTW: Smileys and people's nicknames don't count. I made that up on the spot because I made this thread.)
EXCELLENT title! And excellent album, too, obv. Those songs!
"Invisible Guy"
"I'll Make Myself Invisible To You"
"I Can Clearly See Objects Behind You Because You're Invisible"
"Make Yourself Invisible If You Want To Continue Living" (sorry MMrs.M)
"What's Happening (Please tell me because I can't see you, because you're Invisible)"
"Use Your Own Brain (Because I will be absent - well, not really, but it'll look that way because I'm Invisible)"
I remember George saying 'Blimey, he's always talking about "Yesterday", you'd think he was Beethoven or somebody' - Paul McCartney
I like the first song, "Take Control Of My Automobile".
(unless you have the US pressing, in which case it's "With My Eyes I Recently Became Aware Of The Front Of A Person's Head".)

Well played, Joe. You really know your UK vs US releases.
Now that we've covered this album, what about Spinner? I've always found it interesting that the first song recorded for it was the last track on it. You know, The Day After Today is Forever Clueless.

Judy E. Kim, M.D., professor of ophthalmology at the Medical College of Wisconsin, was inducted into the American Ophthalmological Society (AOS) during the society's 150th annual meeting in New York.
The AOS is limited to 275 active members and has included most of the notable luminaries in ophthalmology over the years. Dr. Kim is the first Korean-American ophthalmologist to become an AOS member.
Founded in 1864, during the Civil War, the AOS was the first specialty society in the country, and its membership has served to influence virtually every facet of American ophthalmology. Admission to membership starts with a nomination process based on leadership and research in ophthalmology and requires the writing and publication of a thesis within three years of nomination. Acceptance into the Society continues to represent special recognition of personal achievement.

A while since I took mine down.
IIRC look at the front of rear sight on right - that lever will release the rear of top handguard section. Remove rear cover first and recoil spring/piston assembly - then operate that lever - top handguard should come up at rear then move it to rear to disengage from front recess above gas port.
The stock should come off with just the single machine screw removed from the tongue at top. It's one of those things which when I do it goes smoothly - but not so easy to try and describe purely from memory!
