The Dinotrux are on the loose! Who will win the mighty standoff between man and prehistoric beast? Find out in this toddler-sized edition with an oversized trim size that lets little hands join in the fun!

A Day trip around the Tamar
... Carlo and it was really delicious..
Then it was of the Notley Gorge which was a bit of a fizza as it involved walking tracks so we gave that a miss.
So it was of to Port Sorrell which we had been told was very nice, we arrived and the signage was not the best and we ended up at Shearwater where we asked how to find Port Sorrell, it turned out we had already visited it. It was ok but we ...
Tasmania- Bottom of the World
... open kitchen design where you interact with the kitchen staff while they cook the food. But you have to come early (we arrived at 2 pm the day before and were told the donuts sold out by 10 am) … so…. of course we just HAD to go there bright and early to ensure we tried these donuts. Breakfast of champions! The restaurant only has 10 seats around a big chef's tables, so we were lucky to be able to seat all 5 of us. The baker gets up at 3 am every ...
Great Museum and another swim
... we chose to go back to our favourite spot at Evandale.
27th January.
Today Vincent was booked in for service. Before we him for service we had to get the mail. We have ordered some electronic bits and pieces for the Redarc Solar and MPPT charger.
With Vincent happily looked after by Neil Buckby Motors we headed back to Cataract Gorge for lunch. Have to say we sort of felt homeless as Vincent was taken away. Funny feeling really.
Day 7 Sapa tour of village
... in the river with no adults about. We stopped to look at a home stay house which had lots of corn from hanging from the roof. We were taken to a swinging bridge and local museum where DI M was attacked by a beautiful puppy. We returned to Sapa and were taken to our Chau Long Hotel Sapa Hotel. Once settled in we all took our washing over the road to the local laundromat where we charged by the kilo (very cheap) to be picked at 8am the next morning. After a ...

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) Holy Cross has hired Milan Brown to coach its men's basketball team.
Holy Cross said on Friday that it had signed Brown to a five-year contract, with an option for a sixth season. The 39-year-old Brown coached Mount St. Mary's for seven seasons. He replaces Sean Kearney, who was fired after one season.
Holy Cross went 9-22 overall last season and 5-9 in the eight-team Patriot League to finish seventh. The 22 losses were the most ever for the school.
Kearney was hired last year after Ralph Willard left to join Rick Pitino's staff at Louisville.
Brown led Mount St. Mary's to winning records in his last three years, including an NCAA tournament appearance in 2008.

Justin Theroux Gossip
Justin Theroux gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Jennifer & Justin's first married red carpet
C Flanigan/ Tim Mosenfelder/ Getty Images
The Leftovers season 2 premiere in Austin on Saturday – Jennifer Aniston was there to support her husband on their first ever red carpet as a married couple; it happened exactly two months ago today. Two month anniversary? That's wrong because an anniversary is annual. I once asked a smartass friend what the word for "month-iversary" was and she told me there isn't one because it's a stupid thing to celebrate. Full Story
Justin talks about his wedding
FameFlynet, Jeff Kravitz/ FilmMagic/ Getty Images
Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston got married last month. Guess what? He's doing press now for season 2 of The Leftovers, premiering on HBO and HBO Canada on October 4. Convenient! As expected, he's being asked about the wedding and the honeymoon and their friends joining them in Bora Bora. Full Story
Jen & Sandy's double date weekend
As you know, Sandra Bullock was at Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux's wedding last month. That's when we found out that Sandy had a new boyfriend. At the time, he was just identified as a "photographer". But for Sandy to bring him to an event that was that locked down, it had to have been serious…as is the friendship between Sandy and Jen. Full Story
Justin's ring and Jen's dress
MONEY$HOT/ VLUV/ Splash News
Justin Theroux was papped at LAX yesterday, first shots of him after the honeymoon. As you know, he and Jennifer Aniston spent it with friends in Bora Bora. They came back a few days ago and he's now off again for work wearing his new ring and a ballin' gold watch. Under some light it actually looks rose-gold, at least to me. Full Story
Jen & Justin take a lot of pictures
Thank you, Howard Stern. Howard Stern will keep your secret BEFORE the wedding, but afterwards, you're not going to be able to tell him what to say, or not to say. Even if you're Jennifer Aniston. Howard talked on his radio show yesterday, giving details about Jen and Justin Theroux's wedding last Wednesday. Full Story
Jen's wedding cover
Well you probably expected this: the new issue of PEOPLE Magazine featuring Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux's wedding. It's a file photo from the Oscars. But the text on the cover says "exclusive photos". What are the photos? It can't be a dress. If it were the dress, they wouldn't put it on the inside and not the outside. Full Story
Jennifer & Justin: honeymoon and wedding details
As you know, the news that Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux got married was yesterday's major headline, conveniently just as the new trailer for Brange's By The Sea was released. I believe the expression for that is "inextricably linked". Anyway, we're now finding out more information about the "secret" wedding. Full Story
Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux are married
TMZ was first on this. Now PEOPLE and US Weekly have reported it too – Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are married. It happened last night at their home in Bel Air. Full Story
Justin Theroux's short sleeves
AKM-GSI/ Splash News
Justin Theroux has been in Rome with Ben Stiller working on Zoolander 2. He wrote the screenplay. So if it's more Tropic Thunder than Rock Of Ages, can we continue to be optimistic? Anyway… Arms, right? All you're seeing here is arms. This is helped by the fact that his arms are being shown off by short sleeves. Full Story
Jennifer Aniston: Oscars Worst Dressed (Duana)
Jason Merritt/ Kevin Mazur/ Michael Buckner/Steve Granitz /Kevork Djansezian/ Kevin Winter/ Frazer Harrison /Getty Images
What are you doing? What are you thinking? Jennifer Aniston has a hot body. Let's just accept that it's true and always going to be true. We're going to write think-pieces when she turns 50 (in 4 years!) and 54 and 58 talking about how beautiful she still is. She has the tanning-dyeing-grooming trifecta down to a science. Full Story
Jennifer Aniston: Goodbye at the SAGs
Wenn, Frazer Harrison/ Jon Kopaloff/ Getty Images
That's it. Unless the Oscars invite her to present on February 22nd, which would kinda be a slap in the face, Jennifer Aniston's award season is over; the SAGs marked the end of her run. As we all know, she had hoped there would be another month of this. And she put in an aggressive, impressive campaign that …could only get her so far. Full Story

Chain Facts
What are blockchains?
Blockchains are a new kind of database technology pioneered by the digital currency Bitcoin; and now adapted for handling various tasks for the financial, legal and software industries. Blockchains differentiate themselves from conventional databases in the following ways:
- Lack of a single owner: One interfaces with a multitude of databases everyday. One of them store tweets, others store personal information and so on. Each of these generally have a single owner who can manipulate the database as per her will. Blockchains, on the other hand, distribute ownership over multiple people and companies, thereby ensuring that database rules cannot be arbitrarily altered.
- Cryptographic integrity and immutability: Unlike your excel file that does not save the history of how the current file came to be, blockchains record events such that no one can manipulate or raise questions about occurrences in the past. It is the perfect medium for recording financial transactions and prevent disputes.
- Have smart contract functionality: Blockchains enable users to make impartial, immutable, cheap, self-executing legal contracts with each other. Refer to the other links for understanding smart contracts.
What is a smart contract?
Why are smart contracts useful?
What can I build with smart contracts?
- Etherex – A system for exchanging assets without any middleman such as a broker, stock exchange, central securities depository or a bank.
- MakerDAO – A central bank that creates its own price stable cryptocurrency called Dai
- GroupGnosis – A platform that enables a big group of humans to forecast the future with stunning accuracy
- Colony – A platform enabling people to build complete organisations with business rules enforced by smart contracts
Where can I learn more about smart contracts
- A simple model for smart contracts by Richard Brown

Nothing but Guilt
Poem by: nathanmarc12
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
Once again
I looked at the wicked deeds I've done
Driven by lust and greed
Once again
I recalled the immoral acts I've committed
Guided by sinful intentions
Repugnant, repulsive, I feel
but no matter how remorseful I am
how much regret I possess
I will repeat the whole process
I seek for purity
but filth is all I am
I long to be righteous
but evil is my nature
I yearn to gain back
the innocence I've tossed aside
I thought I could have it back
but it eluded me
because it is wise enough to know that I'm dirty
can never cleanse me
can never make me whole
All that is audible
are whispers of condemnation
All that is in my heart
are nothing but guilt.

text: Hey all, Since I have bought my truck I have been using XM radio, but due to the economy I have realized that paying for the radio is a little bit outrageous. My subscription is up and I called XM to check prices on the renewing and the first option I got was 90 dollars for 6 months. Than after talking to them for a while they lowered it to 50 bucks for 6 months. I remember a few years ago I paid 70 dollars for a whole year using Sirius. Who else feels my pain?

Risky Bet!!!
I am convinced that regardless of who wins this fight between Tito and Chuck that this fight is going the distance. I am willing to bet on this with you guys but i need to get some better odds because noone in the world thinks this will happen?? If I lose, ill put anything in my signature, but if i win u guys are my forum *****es for a week and gotta put up whatever i tell you when i tell you..i dunno im just tryin to mix up this betting a lil bit if neone got ne better suggestions on the rules of this bet let me know.
p.s. this doesnt count against my betting record if i lose.;)
I'll take the bet make what odds you want but I'll bet you that this fight will not go the distanse.
Ya ill bet that, this fight will not go the distance.
All you have to put on your Sig is
Ignorance is Bliss -1
Thats going to be 2 Mods if Chuck wins by KO!!
AHAHAHAHA sweet.
Ohh and if you want to make it even better, ill say Chuck will end it by TKO or KO. and ill be your ***** for 2 weeks if it goes the distance
you are saying Tito will win.
Ahh my friend you are mistaken. If you find the thread you'll see that I never agreed to anything. All I said was if Tito wins you have to put all that in your sig. I never agreed to do anything if Tito lost. Im not stupid enough to think Tito will win. I'd bet almost all the real money I have on Chuck.
ok im in we'll see what happens
Well, if you look at the post "Anyone wanna shut me up" it's one that i bumped up just for you. you said
"If Chuck loses you have to put in your sig that Tito "The Huntington Beach Bad Boy" is the greatest fighter of all-time. Put the picture I have in my avatar in your avatar. Then never make any mention or imply that you lost a bet and thats the reason you are doing those things. You dont have to leave just do all that." (this sounds like a bet from you)
AND my next post was DONE DEAL!
Sorry my friend but i do remember stuff, and i am taking down this fourm member by member!
Sorry my friend but you just got owned!

Eco Building Technologies
We are a company that builds homes in a manner that is friendly to the environment. We love beautiful, functional architecture almost as much as we love treating the environment with respect.
Our target audience is people who want to build their dream home in a nature-friendly manner. They are usually savvy buyers with an eye for design, and somewhat classier tastes.
We want a logo that incorporates a symbol with our name so that one can be used independently of the other in our marketing materials. We want to marry the ideas of home and nature, so be creative in how you showcase those two themes. We'd prefer something a little more modern to something more classic.
Here are some examples of other logos that caught our eye:
We would like the file in .pdf, .ai, .psd and vectorized format if possible.
Thanks, and HAVE FUN!

A sparkling debut from Detroit's Dwele – a sweet vocalist in the Donny Hathaway tradition, but with a tight, beat heavy soul sound that glides between 70s soul jazz, mellowed-out Jay Dee synth hop groove, and the natural soul vibe ?uestlove brings to his productions! We first caught wind of Dwele on Slum Village's "Tainted" single, and that's a good indication of the sound you'll find on the debut. Mellow, trippy keys and sound washes drench the album from beginning-to-end, with Dwele's often deeply layered vocals weighing the bright, modern groove aspects of the sound with a rich sense of soul history. There's a slight 70s soul jazz vibe, too, in spots – a sophisticated studio groove with bright bass and some sunny, soulfully strummed electric guitar. Dwele finds some truly nice middle ground between the natural soul scene, modern groove, and the mellower beats and grooves of the best Detroit hip hop of recent years – a scene that Dwele indeed was a player in before finding his soul muse. Great stuff – similar enough to some of his contemporaries – but still wholly unique in Dwele's embrace of a bright, sunny, polished sound that still manages to maintain naturally soulful grit and grease! The title track is a classic – crackly, thumping beats, sweetly chiming keys, and capital M Moody vocals – and many others are nearly as strong! Includes "Truth", "Find A Way", "Day At A Time", "Subject", "Sho Ya Right", "Possible", "Money Don't Mean A Thing", the bonus track "Let Your Hair Down", and more. 15 in all on the CD. © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc.
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
We have only one grade for non-new CDs at Dusty Groove — "Used CD". This grade is somewhat all-encompassing, but we choose it because we try to offer Used CDs in the best shape possible. All of our Used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. If you purchase a Used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly — and if it does not, then you may return it for a full refund.
With our Used CDs, you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks — clean, and not dirty at all. You can also expect the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves — putting fresh cases on Used CDs we handle) — and you can expect the booklet to be in good shape, unless noted otherwise. We will list any specific details/defects underneath the item — so look for notes on cutout marks in the case, stamps on the barcode, or details like that.

Back to the hotel for a short rest then eight of us went into town by taxi. Lots of buildings with decorative lighting, lots of neon lighting and massive televisions on the sides of buildings.

At Eclipse we use a ".qualifier" suffix which will be replaced with the actual CVS/SVN tag at build time. The CVS/SVN tag is actually a timestamp "v20080916-1020" or just an increasing number (eg., "v1, v2, v3..."). It depends on what a project favors.

The Gramma War(2001)
A novel by Kristin Butcher
Everything is going well in eleven-year-old Annie's ordered life--until she finds out that her ailing grandmother is coming to live with the family. A virtual stranger, her grandmother takes over Annie's room, smokes in the house, runs her mother ragged and turns Annie's whole world on end. Annie fights to stay afloat as her problems, both at home and at school, multiply. In an attempt to help her cope with the changes, Annie's parents enroll her in a local genealogical society where she grudgingly embarks on a journey to learn her family tree. In the process she discovers not only that her grandmother has a wealth of knowledge and stories about their shared family history, but that she was not always the angry old woman she seems to be. A humorous, fast-paced story that approaches a difficult subject in a novel way, The Gramma War will speak to all children who haven't had the chance to get to know their grandparents, and who sometimes wonder at life's fairness. In a time when extended families are spread around the globe and family ties are ever more tenuous, The Gramma War shows that we need to embrace the family experience, with all its blemishes.

The simulations show a center frequency tuning range from6 GHz to 9.4 GHz and a noise figure of 8.8-10.4 dB depending on center frequency. Gain and Q-value are tunable in a wide range. Simulated IIP-3 and 1-dB compression point is -26 dBm and -34 dBm respectively; simulated at the center frequency 8.5 GHz and with 15 dB gain. Measurements on the fabricated device shows a center frequency tuning range from 6.6 GHz to 10 GHz; i.e. slightly higher center frequencies were measured than the simulated.

PDP Will Return To Power In 2019 – Mark
Former Senate President, David Mark has explained why the Peoples Democratic Party was defeated in the 2015 general elections.
He attributed the reason for the defeat to imposition of candidates.
According to his spokesperson, Paul Mumeh, he spoke on Monday in Otukpo, his Benue State country home, where he held a meeting with PDP faithful.
Speaking ahead of the party's congresses and convention, Mark "canvassed strongly for the repositioning of the Party (PDP) if it must return to power in the next general election."
"We must come to terms with reality that PDP lost the last general election because of over bearing tendencies of some leaders who imposed candidates on the people.
"It is inevitable that we must change from the old ways and allow the will of the people prevail. Unfolding events clearly show that the PDP is the party for the people. But we must not take them for granted by forcing unpopular candidates on the people.
"The coast is clear that the PDP has the road map for peace, unity and development of Nigeria. Nigerians now know the difference," he said.
Mark, therefore, counselled that popular candidates be put forward to "drive the ship of the party ahead of the next general elections."
He stressed that the PDP had bright chances of returning to power if all party faithful agreed to work together in one accord.
To achieve such, he stated that people must learn to sacrifice their individual or personal interest for the larger interests.

No Order From Buhari To Expel DSS Personnel From Villa, Says Adesina
The Presidency on Wednesday denied rumours that personnel of the Directorate of State Security Service (DSS) have been expelled from the Presidential Villa.
A release issued by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Mr Femi Adesina, said the rumours were unfounded.
``President Muhammadu Buhari has given no such order,'' the release said.
It, however, noted that it was true that a reorganisation of security at the Presidential Villa was underway.
The release added that the exercise, which involved the realignment of personnel from various services, did not translate to the expulsion of DSS personnel from the villa.

``The changes being made are routine adjustments which are not unexpected in any dynamic environment from time to time,'' the release said.(NAN)

Clot-Busting Drugs Open Blocked Arteries
Clot-Busting Drugs Open Blocked Arteries
The people in a recent prospective trial had severely frostbitten hands and feet. Typically this leads to gangrene and loss of limbs. In severe frostbite, the blood vessels are affected and blood flow is blocked. After thawing and re-warming, small clots form. Spasm of the injured arteries further impedes flow to the smallest vessels of the limbs. The standard treatment for frostbite—typically involving re-warming the affected area and, in severe cases, amputation—hasn't changed for decades.
Interventional radiologists used angiography, an X-ray exam of the arteries and veins, to confirm loss of blood flow to a patients hand or toes, then intra-arterial catheters to directly deliver drugs to dissolve the blood clots and relax the arteries' muscular walls. This treatment was significantly successful in preventing amputation and saving limbs, according to a new study.
"We were able to reopen even the smallest arteries, saving patients' fingers and toes," said George R. Edmonson, M.D., interventional radiologist with St. Paul Radiology in St. Paul, Minn. According to Edmonson, severe frostbite or "freezeburn" looks like a second degree heat burn with large blisters, but it's actually body tissue that's been frozen and—in severe cases—dead, he said.
In this small prospective trial, results from six frostbite patients, ages 18–65 years, who received Tenectaplase were compared with 11 individuals who had received Retaplase. The trial was designed to see if the greater plasma stability of Tenectaplase would lead to better results. "With both groups, approximately 80 percent of the patients' affected limbs, fingers and toes responded with significant improvement," noted Edmonson.

Skip to comments.Global Warming = Science Fiction
Posted on 09/03/2007 1:27:41 PM PDT by kathsua
Two recent studies demonstrate how the hysteria about alleged "global warming" has resulted in wasted research money. As I noted in the previous post, meteorologists have trouble predicting weather conditions a day or two in advance. They cannot possibly predict what will happen decades in the future.
Attempting to predict the future based on science based assumptions is called "science fiction". I've been interested in science fiction for over 40 years. I've even attempted to write some. Science fiction writers make assumptions about reality, including future technology, and then base a work of fiction about it.
The "Star Trek" family of television series is an example of science fiction. In some areas technology (such as cell phones) has progressed faster than suggested on the series, Physicists have doubts about some other aspects of "Star Trek" technology particularly space travel faster than light.
Some science fiction may be prophetic, such as H.G. Wells late 19th Century predictions of air travel, television, super highways and something resembling the Internet. Other science fiction like "Superman" and "Spiderman" is totally improbable. Science fiction writers don't claim they are accurately predicting the future only that some of the things they talk about might happen. Some of us utilize the concept of parallel universes from quantum physics to suggest events that might happen on an earth that developed a little differently from our earth.
Computer based prejections of future events are science fiction, not science fact. The programs make simple assumptions about the impact of certain differences in reality and then project what might happen.
I like to read science fiction, but government shouldn't be financing the production of science fiction by those who falsely claim they are engaged in real science.
This paper recently reported one of these science fiction stories by Dr Richard Betts of the Hadley Centre. Betts claims that plants although plants wouldl grow more with increased atmospheric CO2 they would not take up as much water with flooding as the result. A major problem with the claim is that plants that grow more use more water for that growth. For example, the compound most of us think of when we say "sugar", sucrose, has the chemical formula C12H22O11. Each molecule of sucrose essentially contains 12 carbon atoms and 11 water molecules. Dead leaves, stems, etc. fall onto the ground and then absorb water to hold until taken up by plants. If temperatures increased plants would have to release more water because plants get rid of excess heat by evaporating water.
An American study financed by NASA claims that warming would result in fewer storms but they would have more tornadoes and hail. As a resident of tornado alley in the central U.S. I know that tornadoes and hail are most likely to occur when there is cold air aloft. Cold air is necessary to freeze water droplets into ice and to freeze more water to that ice to form large hail stones. Cold air plays a major role in tornado formation. The biggest tornadoes typically come in front of strong cold fronts.
The British and American governments, among others, should stop wasting money on science fiction and devote more money to accurate daily forecasts.
I think the whole idea of global warming was made up by people who want well paying government jobs, but don't really have any ability. They get paid with our tax money to scare us. Government funds for weather should go to trying to control it rather than making scary predictions.

Algore and his hard of thinking sheeple have perpetrated this alarmist myth long enough. It's time for real science to put all this junk science garbage to rest once and for all.
What if we all lowered our carbon emissions to a level Gore found acceptable for several years, and....THE AVERAGE GLOBAL TEMPERATURE DIDN'T DECREASE. That would be proof that man-made global warming is all a hoax. Sometimes the best way to convince a fool he is wrong is to let him have his way...
Science Fiction? I wonder what part of global warming they are calling science.
yes yes a hoax...and it began to die in 2007....r.i.p.
**Science Fiction? I wonder what part of global warming they are calling science.**
Really good science fiction is, by definition, believable.
GW, by definition, is not.
I predict that global warming will occur every year, in the northern hemisphere, from around mid June to mid September. Now where's my check?
Never. The Dems won Congress and nobody is paying attention to their failures. Nobody cares if a fool is wrong even if it is proven.
Global Warming = Science Fiction?
A lot more fiction than science.
People used to sincerely believe in the phlogiston theory, too, in which fire was considered to be a material substance.
Once again, mistaking the pointing finger for the moon.
No, these guys do have ability. They mostly got good grades from very good schools and are now in search of a career. What do you go for with a graduate degree in weather? TV weatherman? Airline forecaster? DoD weather specialist? All of the above and more, but when the positions are filled and the attrition rate is nil what can you do? A good scare will bring grant money in like flies to honey.
That's the ticket!
al gore lied, billions were inconvenienced.
So much of it is simply misanthropic musings.
Good article. Read it earlier today. Was going to post it as a stand alone article.
You did good by posting it here.
As one whom has made a fine living for 35 years by studying global climate change, I can assure you that it occurs, rigth before global cooling and right afterwards. Sea level, as we know it, was 200' below us in the past, and also 200' above us. Since the continents were not in the their present positions, it is hard to acertain what the real effect was. One thing I do know, however, is if you spent the entire GDP of the planet, you would not be able to change a thing.
The earth has been WARMING since the last Ice Age..

Can any one help me?
My wife suffers from stitches when she runs, she has tried different breathing techniques and altering her water/food intake before a run but still suffers from them.
I have been looking at the Powerbreathe system, can anyone tell me if this has helped out with reducing stitche.
She has been running off and on for quite a few years and goes through stages where she will get stitches. She is quite active and would put her above average in fitness levels, usually her fitness runs are around 6k's, if she can get through with out a stitc.
Thanks for the advise will pass it on to her. Hopefully she can eliminate them.
Thanks for asking this question Jamie,because I get exactly the same problem, and it is so demoralising! It comes on super-quick; feels like a knife's being twisted into my diaphragm, and I have to stand stock still, massaging my abdo right under my right rib cage for a few minutes, then I'm good to go again. It happens like clockwork around 4km. I'm definitely going to try your synching breathing with footsteps adviceTigerlily, thank you.
As I was passing two kids on the park run this morning, one said she was worried about getting stitch, and the other said "if you get stitch grab some grass and squeeze it, it really works"
anyone heard that?
He he, made me smile! That's just a distraction technique, no?! Whatever works though.

Home boundMature
The next few hours went by in a haze for Fred and George. They assisted customers, and restocked shelves, but their heads just weren't in it. Soon noon rolled by and Fred was ushering the last few customers out the door.
"Sorry, folks, closing the shop early for today. Do come back tomorrow though." He closed the door and turned to face his brother, who was locking up the cash register.
"Ready then, George?"
"Hmmm, why do I feel like this is going to end badly?"
"Just remember, whatever it was, we didn't do it," Fred said with a sly wink. Then they turned on the spot and apparated out of the room.
Suddenly, two identical boys seemed to pop up out of the road, just a few miles out of the muggle town. Fred and George shared an uneasy glance and started the hike up to the burrow. As they walked along in silence they caught the first glimpses of the Burrow in the distance. Seeing the Burrow seemed to whisk away all of their unsettling feelings, they were, after all, home. They both, without directly realizing it, quickened their paces as huge smiles stretched across their faces. It had only been a few weeks since they had been here last, but even that seemed to long. They entered in through the kitchen and were greeted by a group of people seated at the table. Their parents were there, as was Lupin and Tonks, Ron, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny, as well as three people that they did not know.

Determinants of NCI Cancer Center Attendance in Medicare Patients with Lung, Breast, Colorectal, or Prostate Cancer

Geographic access to NCI-Cancer Centers varies by region, race/ethnicity, and place of residence, but utilization of these specialized centers has not been examined at the national level in the U.S. This study identified determinants of NCI-Cancer Center attendance in Medicare cancer patients.
SEER-Medicare (Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results) data were used to identify individuals with an incident cancer of the breast, lung, colon/rectum, or prostate from 1998–2002. NCI-Cancer Center attendance was determined based on utilization claims from 1998–2003. Demographic, clinical, and geographic factors were examined in multilevel models. We performed sensitivity analyses for the NCI-Cancer Center attendance definition.
Overall, 7.3% of this SEER-Medicare cohort (N = 211,048) attended an NCI-Cancer Center. Travel-time to the nearest NCI-Cancer Center was inversely related to attendance, showing 11% decreased likelihood of attendance for every 10 minutes of additional travel-time (OR = 0.89, 95%CI 0.88–0.90). Receiving predominantly generalist care prior to diagnosis was associated with a lower likelihood of attendance (OR = 0.79, 95%CI 0.77–0.82). The other factors associated with greater NCI-Cancer attendance were later stage at diagnosis, fewer comorbidities, and urban residence in conjunction with African-American race.
Attendance at NCI-Cancer Centers is low among Medicare beneficiaries, but is strongly influenced by proximity and general provider care prior to diagnosis. Other patient factors are predictive of NCI-Cancer Center attendance and may be important in better understanding cancer care utilization.

-Ten-Faced Paladin
Ranma Revamped By Ten-Faced Paladin Chapter 1: Here's Ranma
The day seemed pleasant enough in Nerima, the town with so many kinds or martial arts that it could make your head spin. There were a couple of clouds in the sky. It looked like rain. The Tendo school of Anything Goes was enjoying an average day.
"Daddy!" Kasumi Tendo, the eldest daughter called. "The mail's here."
She walked to the main liveing room where her father, Soun Tendo, sat. He was enjoying a small meal. Kasumi walked up to him and handed him.
"Ah, thank you Kasumi," he smiled.
As Kasumi went back to the kitchen, Soun proceeded to examine the letters he had recieved. There was the usual newspaper, a couple of bills, and a postcard. He looked at it curiously. It was sent from China and had a picture of a panda on the front.
"China?" Soun asked himself. "Who do I know in...could it be?"
Filled with hope and anticipation, Soun eagerly flipped over the card and read the message.
'Hi. Bringing Ranma from China. Saotome.' the brief message read.
Soun didn't even notice the horrible habdwriting. His hands were too busy shaking in contained excitement. His eyes made like fountains and tears lowed freely from them. At long last, the pact that he and Genma had made would finally come to fruition.
"R-Ranma? Coming here?" he sobbed. "Oh, how I've w-w-waited for this day!"
Souns tears instantly dried as he bolted from the room. He had to find his daughters.
"Kasumi!" he cried as he ran into the kitchen.
"Yes Daddy?" she asked as she finished slicing a watermelon.
"Meeting in the living room," Soun grinned. "It's big news!"
Soun then bolted from the room. Kasumi would have been confused but she was used to her father's outburts. For him to act liek this it must have been good news he got from the mail.
Kasumi was a healthy nineteen-year old. She was the eldest of the Tendo girls. She also took care of the house. She cooked and cleaned for her family. She really didn't mind. She liked being a homemaker. She almost had an apron on and she had long hair which she kept tied back with a pretty ribbon.
After racing from the kitchen, Soun made a break upstairs to his second daughter's room.
"Nabiki!" Soun cried as he opened a door.
Inside was a girl wearing shorts and a tank-top. She was lying on her bed reading a magazine and eating a popsicle. She had short, shoulder length hair. This was Nabiki, the middle Tendo girl.
"Mm?" Nabiki remarked as she looked to her father.
"Living room!" Soun cried. "Quickly!"
Soun then bolted from the room. Nabiki sat up and finished her popsicle. She then walked down the stairs and found Kasumi fixing drinks for everyone.
"Hey Kasumi," Nabiki spoke. "What's up with Daddy?"
"I'm not quite sure," Kasumi replied. "He is in a good mood though. It must be good news."
"Maybe," Nabiki shrugged. "It had better be."
While the other two girls talked, Soun raced for the training hall.
"Akane!" he cried as he opened the door.
he was expecting to see his youngest daughter training or something, but he was only met with a silent and unused training hall. A cricket chirped as he was silent for a moment.
"Where is that girl?" Soun muttered before he bolted from the training hall.
Outside the dojo and down the street, a young woman was jogging towards it. She had long hair which was tied by a ribbon much like Kasumi's. She was very fit, just like her other sisters and she was also donned in running clothes. This was Akane Tendo, the youngest of the three and the only one who actaully practiced martial arts.
"I'm hooome!" Akane callled as she ran through the dojo gates.
She didn't even stop as she raced straight to her room. She then stripped out of her running gear and into her training clothes. She then bolted right back downstairs and out the door. She then went to the backyard and started stacking cinderblocks. When she felt there weere enough, Akene then took a deep breath. Then smmashed her fist straight through them.
"Hyaah!" she shouted as she crushed the blocks.
After the dust settled, Akane took a moment to admire her work. She had managed to crush five blocks. Not bad.
"Ahh," She smiled. "That was good."
Nabiki stepped out from the house after she heard the smashing sounds. She looked at her sister's back before speaking.
"There you go again Akane," Nabiki sighed. "It's no wonder the boys think you're weird."
"So why should I care," Akane asked with a sigh. "Not all of us think the world revolves around boys Nabiki."
"No?" Nabiki Shrugged as she let her hends rest behind her head. "Well then I guess this won't interest you."
Later, the sky had grown dark and thunder rumbled in the sky. It wasn't long before rain began to fall. The forecast hadn't predicted it so it wouldn't last long. The entire Tendo familiy was sitting in the living room.
"Fiance?" Nabiki asked after her father explained his happy mood.
"Right," Soun nodded. "He's the son of a good friend of mine. His name's Ranma Saotome. If one of you three were to mary him and carry on this dojo, then the Tendo legacy would be secure!"
"Wait a minute!" Akene spoke angrily. "Don't we have any say in who we marry?"
"Akane's right Daddy," Kasumi agreed. "We've never even met Ranma."
"That is easily fixed," Soun grinned.
Elsewhere in Nerima, the rain had finally stopped and people were walking on the streets. It seemed like a regular day, until the sounds started coming.
It sounded like people were running. Everyone looked to the end of the street and recieved a pretty big shock. A large panda was chasing a red-haired girl who was carrying a pair of shoes and a backpack.
They both splashed through a puddle as the panda took a leap at the girl, trying to grab her.
"Hey!" the girl shouted as she dodged the panda. "Cut that out!"
In mid-air, the girl deliveered a kick to the panda's head. The panda was sent skidding across the ground. It lay still for a moment before slowly standing up again.
"Is that a panda?" one spectator asked.
"A big one," another confirmed.
The panda wiped it's face and spit onto the ground. It then adopted a combat stance. In a simgle heartbeat, it lunged at the girl with a flurry of punches. The girl easily dodged them and leaped back.
"You know," the girl muttered as she dodged a kick from the panda. "You could have at least had the decency to ask me about this whole fiance thing!"
She then grabbed the panda's arm and hurled it over her shoulder. It collided with a street sign, knocking it over. The girl stood over the panda, huffing slightly in agitation.
"I'm goin' back to China old man," she stated frimly. "Don't wait up."
She then turned to leave. She didn't even take one step before the panda slammed her over the head with the street sign it had knocked over. The girl slumped over and the panda hefted her over it's shoulder. It grabbed the backpack the girl had droppad and began walking down the street. It looked at all the spectators and roared menacingly, scaring them all away. Satisfied that it wasn't going to be followed, the panda set out towards it's target.
Back at the Tendo dojo, Soun was telling his daughters everything he knew about Ranma that he could get from letters he got from Genma.
"Ranma and his father have been on a voyage of training," he explained. "Recently, they seemed to have crossed over into China."
"Wow! China!" Nabiki smiled. To her, Ranma was getting more interesting by the second. If he could go to China then he must have had some serious cash to do it.
"What's so great about going to China?" Akane huffed in annoyance.
Nabiki was to busy being impressed to listen, "Is he cute?"
Kasumi was also trying to draw her own conclusion on Ranma, "How old is he? Younger men always bore me."
"Just what kind of guy is Ranma anyway?" Nabiki and Kasumi asked at the same time.
Soun laughed for a moment. It did his heart good to see his daughters interested in Ranma. He then took a breath before finally answering their question.
"No idea," he answered simply.
"No idea?" Nabiki asked sternly.
"I've never met him before," Soun spoke in his defence.
Further questions were halted when a commotion began happening outside the house. It sounded as if two people were fighting each other with everything that was in arms reach.
"Leggo ya old fool!" an angry voice shouted.
"Oh! We have visitors," Kasumi gasped.
"It must be Ranma!" Nabiki cried excitedly.
"Saotome!" Soun cheered. "Old friend, we've been waiting!"
"I hope he's older," Kasumi sighed as she stood up and headedfor the source of the commotion.
'Boys, how depressing,' Akane thought sourly.
As the two girls mad etheir way to the doorway, Soun and Nabiki could be seen running back to them. Neither of them seemed so happy. The reason was perhaps the giant panda following them. It seemed to be carrying someone with red hair on it's shoulder.
"Hey!" the person shouted. "Do you want to give'em a heart attack?"
Kasumi gasped at the panda before turning to her father, "Daddy..is this..your friend?"
Soun shook his head furiously. This was assuredly not his friend that he had talked about.
"Oh sure!" Nabiki shrieked. "A giant panda decided to visit us! It happens all the time!
The panda huffed before putting it's charge on the ground in front of Soun and his thre daughters. Soun looked at the person before leaning in close.
"You woudn't happen to be...?" he began.
"Ranma Saotome," the person replied with a sigh. "Sorry 'bout this."
Soun didn't seem to care as he burst into tears. To say he was happy was somewhat of an understatement.
"At last!" he sobbed. "You've come!"
"Ooh! He's cute!" Nabiki smiled in delight.
"So good of you to come!" Soun sobbed as he pulled Ranma into a hug. "So good..."
Soun suddenly stopped crying. He pushed Ranma away from himself and examined the 'boy' more closely. Nabiki also took notice that something was amiss. As Soun struggled to find words, Nabiki walked up to Ranma and began poking 'his' chest.
"Um..could you not do that?" Ranma asked in annoyance.
Nabiki frowned as she turned back to her family. "'He' is a girl."
It was about then that Soun collapsed with tears flowing from his eyes in a veritable river.
It had taken several minutes to get everyone calmed down, but now everyone was sitting by Soun, who was still sobbing, and in his futon.
"Poor Daddy. He's so disappointed," Kasumi sighed as she readied a cold cloth for his head.
"He's disappointed?" Nabiki frowned. "Some fiance this is!"
"Hey. Stop it you two!" Akane frowned at her sisters. "She's out guest!"
Nabiki then rounded on her father, "This is all your fault Daddy! You should have made sure!"
"Well he said he had a son!" Soun remarked as he continued to cry.
"Do you see a son here!" Nabiki shouted while patting Ranma's chest. "Do you?"
Ranma's eyebrow twitched at Nabiki's actions, "I really wish you'd stop that."
Akane's heart wnet out to the girl. Here she was away from home and in the middle if a huge misunderstanding. She stood up and tapped Ranma on the shoulder. She looked up at Akane questioningly.
"Want to join me in the training hall?" Akane asked with a smile.
"Uh...sure," Ranma agreed.
"Great," Akane smiled. " I'm Akane. Want to be friends?"
Ranma couldn't help but smile. It had been a while since anyone had been friendly to him.
The two martial artists stood in the centre of the training hall, just a few steps away from each other.
"You do karate right?" Akane asked with a smile.
"A little," Ranma replied as she looked over the training all.
"Good," Akane smiled. "Then we can have a little match."
"Huh?" Ranma gasped, her attention turning back to Akane.
"Just for fun," Akane smiled. "I won't hurt you."
"If you say so," Ranma nodded. 'Okay, I'd better take her seriously, even if I don't want to hurt her. It looks like she trains pretty hard.'
Akane took a battle stance. She then charged at Ranma with and forward punch. Ranma immediately dodged to the left and twisted around her while landing a light tap on her ribs. Akane quickly turned around began a flurry of punches which Ranma expertly sneaked around.
'She is good,' Akane thought. 'She must be reading my moves. Okay then, let's see how she handles this!"
Akane brought back both her fists and with abattle cry, she threw them both at Ranma. The red head leaped straight over the attack and landed behind her again. Before Akane could turn around again, Ranma tapped her on the back of head to simulate a killing blow.
Akane turned around with a surprised look on her face. Ranma smiled with a small laugh. Akane soon joined her and the two were soon laughing like old friends.
"Ahem... you're pretty good," Akane sighed. "I'm just glad that you're a girl."
"What do you mean?" asked Ranma.
"It's just," Akane spoke. "I'd really hate to lose to a boy."
"Great," Ranma frowned. "This is where it gets ugly."
"Huh? What do you mean Ranma?" asked a confused Akane.
"Um..could you get your sisters in here?" Ranma requested. "I'll explain it then. No doubt Pops is doing that with your dad by now."
"Okay," Akane nodded. 'What's she talking about? Her dad isn't here. Is he?'
A few minutes later, Kasumi Nabiki and Akane were sitting in the training hall. Ranam was sitting a few steps in front of them. She had a steaming kettle of water and a bucket of water beside her.
"So what's up Ranma?" asked Nabiki. "Akane said you wanted to tell us something."
"That's right," Ranma nodded. "Well, the truth is that I'm actually a guy."
The room went silent. After a moment, the three Tendo girls broke out into laughter.
"Oh my!" Kasumi giggled. "Now that can't be true Ranma. I can tell from here that you're a girl."
"Yeah," Nabiki agreed. "I even got to feel 'em. There's no way you can be a guy."
"She's right Ranma," Akane laughed. "You? A guy? That's a good one."
Ranma nodded as she stood up, "I guess, but let's see what you have to say after I do this."
Ranma grabbed the steaming kettle and poured it over his head. The second the water splashed on her, Ranma transformed. The three Tendo girls gaped at Ranma. Where their new friend stood, a tall, black-haired, rather handsome boy stood.
"Oh my!" Kasumi gasped. "I-is that you Ranma."
"Yep," Ranma nodded sadly.
Nabiki stared wide-eyed at the now male Ranma. She stood up and walked over to him and placed her hands on his chest. She rubbed her hands across his chest and felt nothing remotely resmbling the breats she had feelt earlier. All she felt was hard muscle. While she was really freaked out, she was also pleasantly surprised at this development.
"Don't you ever get enough?' Ranma sighed, a slight tinge to his face.
Nabiki looked up into Ranma'sblue eyes, "Well..um..ah..s-sorry."
She then backed way from him and returned to her seat. Akane was still gaping at in disbelief. Ranma looked at her and and then back at the floor.
"I really don't blame you if you think I'm a freak," he sighed.
"You aren't a freak!" Akane suddenly snapped, earning looks from everyone.
Nabiki looked back at Ranma, "She's right. You aren't a freak. I think you're really brave for telling us."
"Yes Ranma," Kasumi nodded. "Were you always like this?"
"No," Ranma replied, shaking his head. "I picked this little trick up at Jusenkyo. You know, the legendary training ground of accursed springs?"
"I think I heard Daddy talking about that place once," Nabiki remarked.
"You don't know the half of it," Ranma growled. "That entire place is filled with spring-fed pools. Each one of them are cursed. If you fall in one then you turn into whatever drowned in there last."
"Oh my!" Kasumai gasped again. "How horrible!"
"I got off easy. I fell into the spring of drowned girl. Pops on the other hand fell into the spring of drowned panda."
"You mean that huge panda is your father!" Akane cried.
"Yup," Ranma nodded. "Anyhow, me and Pop went there to do some training. Everything was going okay until I knocked him into one of the pools. When he came back up he was a panda. It kind of surprised me so he managed to hit me and knock me into the spring of drowned girl. You saw the result."
"But you can change back?" asked Nabiki, wanting to learn everything about these cursed springs.
"Sure," Ranma nodded. "Hot water changes me back into a guy. Cold water turns me back into a girl again."
"Isn't there a cure?" asked Akane.
"The guide told us there was a spring of drowned man, but no one knows where it is" Ranma explained. "So me and Pops have to just live with these curses."
"Woah," Nabiki remarked. "Ever consider a book deal? I could be your agent."
"Nabiki!" Akana frowned. "We have worse things to worry about. Like that engagement thing Daddy was going on about. He probably knows that Ranma's a guy now. One of us will have to marry him!"
"I'm not complaining," Nabiki smirked. "I'll do it."
Ranma turned a beet red, "W-w-what?"
"Just kidding, for now," Nabiki smirked. "That is a problem. I think I have an idea though."
"Music to my ears," Ranma smirked as he sat closer to the three girls. "I'm not eager for a forced marriage either."
The four teens huddled close as Nabiki disclosed her idea. Each of them adding comments of their own. After a couple of minutes, the all broke away from the huddle.
"We're in agreement then," Nabiki smirked. "Then let's find our hopeless fathers."
To Be Continued
A/N: Hi everyone. It's your favorite paladin again. I hope you guys like this story. I modified Ranma a little in his attitude. I'm still going to keep the craziness that Ranma 1/2 is known for so don't worry. I'm working from the manga too. I'm leaning for either a Ranma/Shampoo or a Ranma/Nabiki pairing, but I'm always flexible so send suggestions for pairings if you want. I hope you guys enjoy this story.
