text: I don't think that is going to help. what these search engines need to do is give top priority to legitimate sites like GraphicRiver and push those other sites down to page 1Million. These sites are knocking our product links way down. usually if you search for your product, it is on page 1. If your file is stolen and aggregated to all these sites, then your product link disappear down to page 100 or worse, that affects sales and will eventually affect all of us in the marketplace. I am totally tired of submitting DMCA Notice to remove these warez links, I have submitted over a million links (No Exaggeration!!!) and still not helping, because as soon as a file returns to page one a new file is stolen and the process gets hopeless, I feel like I am spending more time sending DMCA notice rather than spending time designing, all the search engines and these warez sites need to be sued by GraphicRiver!!

I've only done a few camping trips, 3 days at the most and it was years ago.
I asked because a few hours ago I dropped my husband, mother in law and her boyfriend off in MA so they can do their first 4 day hike on the Appalachian Trail. It was so surreal leaving them there, watching them disappear up the trail with everything (hopefully!) they need on their backs for the next 4 days. I'm so excited for them! I can't imagine carrying almost 40 lbs of stuff on my back, which is what my hubbies pack weighed.
Will I finish this bag of Cheetos off tonight?
Byron,GA> Charleston, SC> Jacksonville, FL> Guilford, CT> Rohnert Park, CA! A southern drawl in sunny Cali! .

I've decided that I'll never get down to my original weight, and I'm OK with that--After all, 8 pounds 2 oz. is just not realistic.

Beijing's Contemporary Artist Village Background
In 1995, when the Yuanmingyuan (Old Summer Palace) artist community was dismantled, a handful of the original artists moved to Songzhuang Village in Tongzhou County in pursuit of bigger studio space, cheaper rent cost and a quieter environment to continue their creative works. Over the next five years, drawn by the village's idyllic charm and beautiful scenery, more artists decided to move into the area, thus confirming Songzhuang's position as the largest artist community in China. Today, Songzhuang is home to roughly 2,000 artists, including painters, sculptors, poets, writers, art critics, and photographers. They are scattered in several villages of Songzhuang, such as Xiaopu Village, Renzhuang Village, etc.
The artists are relatively young and famous for their contemporary and radical artworks. Most of them are freelancers and their artworks are shown in 798 galleries and galleries and museums in Europe and US.

WASHINGTON – Something wiped out nearly all life on Earth more than 250 million years ago, and whatever unleashed this mass die-off acted much faster than previously thought, scientists said Monday.
Based on an analysis of rocks in China, the end-Permian extinction occurred over the course of 60,000 years, give or take 48,000, researchers reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
That is about 10 times faster than previously believed and a blink of an eye in geological terms.
"It is clear that whatever triggered extinction must have acted very quickly," said lead author Seth Burgess, a graduate student in earth science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The extinction killed off 96 percent of life on Earth. Many theories about its origin exist, top among them that a string of massive volcanic eruptions spewed huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, acidifying the oceans and causing intense global warming.

DIES IRAE. So Brizoni had to make his tasteless joke about last week's tornadoes being caused by all the dimwits who voted for the false prophet Huckabee. Whereupon our whole server gets taken down by the Wrath of the Almighty, and the world is plunged into seven days and nights of darkness without the light of InstaPunk to show the way.
Well, actually, the cause of the downtime is more mundane than that. The socket driver spun out of control on one of those tricky microprocessor chicanes, resulting in a spectacular end-over-end crash of the IP interface. Or something like that. Something technical at any rate. Hopefully, the pit crew has now reassembled enough of the pieces so our grand journey together can continue. Be advised that some links and content may still be missing for a while, however.
We'll be doing our best to catch up. We'll backfill some of the missing days with posts that were written but couldn't be uploaded. We'll also be adding some belated commentary on a variety of nonsense that happened while we were offline. And we'll resume committing our usual crimes and misdemeanors in this space.
So check back frequently, and keep scrolling. Sorry for the lapse in communications.

Sunstorm's first record came out 3 years ago and were one of that years best records in my opinion. Now it's time for record number 2, and it's with virtually the same lineup. Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow) sings of course, Uwe Reitenauer (Pink Cream 69) plays guitar and Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Khymera) plays bass, as well as has produced the record. Gunther Werno (keyboards), Thorsten Koehne (guitars) and Chris Schmidt (drums) are also aboard.
Many of the songs have been released before, such as Save A Place In Your Heart (Only Child), Forever Now (on Terry Brock's solorecord) and Walk On (Jimmy Barnes). Tears On The Pages (on the first Khymera), Say You Will and Gutters Of Gold are songs contributed by Jim Peterik. Brothers James and Tom Martin have written a couple of songs also, so the quality of the songwriting are topnotch.
Even if many of the songs are old, the voice of JLT gives them new life. There ain't a weak song on the record, with JLT's voice and those songwriters, it can't be wrong, can it? To pick out some song that stand out is hard, but I have to choose the monster ballad Walk On, the title track House Of Dreams and the fantastic Save A Place In Your Heart. The opening track, Divided (with the great keyboards), Don't Give Up, the ballad Say You Will (what a chorus) and the uptempo rocker Gutters Of Gold are other standouts. A great record in all.
For You who like Frontiers other releases such as Khymera and Place Vendome, this is for You.

Here is my pick of the resources that I shared on Twitter and in my Pick of the Day in May. Note, for easy reference, ALL the links in my daily Picks are collated monthly on my 2012 Reading List.
1 – Jane Bozarth started the month with some wise advice, as usual, in her Learning Solutions Magazine, Nuts and Bolts column piece: Selling it (1 May)
Shooting ourselves in the foot
I see this happen all the time with people trying to gain support for implementing new learning approaches and technologies, and I am sure I am often guilty of it myself. What we find cool, others find intimidating. What we find useful, others find threatening. What we find magical, others find scary. And the very benefits we tout are sometimes exactly what others fear.
Later in the month (25 May) Dave Kelly also had some advice in his post, How Trainers are Holding Themselves Back
Training professionals need to recognize that by being business-focused in every aspect of their work. Our work needs to provide value to all of our stakeholders, whether their investment is financial support or time via participation. We need to get away from the widget-based metrics of the past and focus on the impact and value our efforts have on critical business performance.
2 – There were quite a lot of valuable postings this month on the topic of informal learning v formal learning. Harold Jarche's post on 1 May, told us to to Take off those rose coloured glasses:
The future will not be L&D 2.0 but rather a new organizational learning approach, where learning is integrated into the workflow. Many departments outside L&D are already staking this new ground and building their expertise.
Bill Cushard suggested Save Training For Those Who Need Training (3 May)
"Sending people to training they don't need devalues the training and demotivates your highest performers. We ought to be able to exempt some people from certain training. If people don't need it, they shouldn't have to attend."
This little video from weneedacourse, showed a day in the life of a lowly e-learning professional (4 May)
Later in the month (21 May), Ryan Tracey, wrote a post where he said we should start with Informal first.
"No longer is formal training the central offering with informal learning relegated to a support role. On the contrary, when we adopt the informal first mindset, informal learning becomes the central offering."
A few days later (24 May), Clark Quinn wrote a post where he talked of Reconciling formal and informal:
"There are really two viewpoints: that of the learning and development (L&D) professional, and that of the performer. Each of these sees the world differently, and we need to separate these out.
And Jay Cross picked up on this with his own post, Bringing informal learning up to date (29 May), where he made this point about elearning.
"I also back away from the word eLearning. What once held such promise for democratizing learning often led to boring page-turners no one should have to endure. I'd like to see bad top-down training eliminated, flipped, or made experiential. Most eLearning is formal, in that it has a rigidly defined curriculum, and it's based on the flawed notion that exposure to content is all that's required for learning."
2 – There were a couple of interesting posts on blogging for learning. Firstly, Harold Jarche, explained

Browns head coach Pat Shurmur said Monday that running back Trent Richardson has rib cartilage damage and is day-to-day. Richardson suffered the injury Sunday versus the Bengals and didn't play for most of the second half. Montario Hardesty filled in for the rookie with 16 touches for 65 yards and a short touchdown. Richardson gained 54 yards from scrimmage on 16 touches prior to departing.
Fantasy Analysis:
With a rib cartilage injury, a couple of things are clear: Richardson is going to miss practice this week and will almost certainly be a game-time decision for Week 7. Whether he is active or not will likely come down to his ability to play through pain, because he's going to be feeling a lot of pain. The Browns will probably put a protective vest around Richardson's ribs, but he is still going to be feeling it if he plays. Maybe some good news is that Willis McGahee suffered a similar type of injury earlier this year, didn't miss any game time and actually ended up running for more than 100 yards and a score against the Raiders in his next game.
The Browns face the Colts next week, so whoever starts are running back for Cleveland is going to be worth a play. Pick up Hardesty now. We'll update Richardson's status throughout the week.

Diabetes mellitus is the most common endocrine disorder, characterized by an inability of the body's cells to utilize glucose. In this disease the function of immune cells, including neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages is often altered. Various neutrophil functions like adherence, chemotaxis and phagocytosis are changed, inhibiting an adequate defense against micro-organisms in periodontal infections, thereby significantly increasing the destruction of the periodontal membrane 1. Clinical studies have demonstrated a higher prevalence of periodontitis in diabetic patients 2-4. The risk of periodontitis is increased by approximately three-fold in diabetic individuals compared with non-diabetic individuals 5. The US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III, demonstrated that adults with an HbA1c level of >9% had a significantly higher prevalence of severe periodontitis than those without diabetes (OR 2.90; 95% CI 1.40, 6.03) after controlling for age, ethnicity, education, sex and smoking 6.
Various studies have suggested a bi-directional relationship between periodontal disease and glycaemic control with each disease having a potential impact on the other 7-8. In the following discussion we shall try to understand how these two diseases are related to each other.
Periodontal condition of poorly controlled diabetic patients
Case I
Case II
Evidence for support of periodontitis and diabetes relationship:
A lot of evidence is available relating diabetes and periodontitis suggesting a two way relationship between the two diseases 9.
A study done on the Pima Indians, the incidence and prevalence of periodontal disease were determined in 2,273 subjects 15 years of age or older. The prevalence of periodontitis was 60% in subjects with diabetes and 36% in those without diabetes 10. A large cross-sectional study showed that diabetic patients were twice as likely as nondiabetic subjects to have attachment loss 11. Studies done on glycated hemoglobin assay (HbA1c) of diabetic patients, have shown that the combination of scaling and root planing with systemic doxycycline therapy is associated with an improvement in periodontal status and is also accompanied by significant improvement in glycemic control 12-14.
Longitudinal studies have shown that patients with severe periodontitis are more likely to develop impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), or diabetes mellitus than patients with moderate periodontitis 15-16. It has also been reported that smoking increases the risk of periodontal disease by nearly 10 times in diabetic patients 17.
The effect of diabetes on periodontal disease:
Various mechanisms have been proposed which explain how diabetes worsens the periodontal health. The complications of diabetes have been well described as diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, macrovascular diseases and altered wound healing. Most of the micro-biological investigations done on sub-gingival microflora of diabetic and non-diabetic patients do not indicate any significant differences in subgingival micro-organism species 18-20.
This fact indicates that increased prevalence and severity of periodontitis in diabetic patients may be due to differences in host response factors.
Signs of gingivitis and periodontitis in diabetic patients 21-22
Effects of diabetes on cellular response:
The inflammatory cells such as neutrophils, monocytes and macrophages play an important role during host response. In diabetic patients the response of these cells is altered 19.
Impairment in neutrophil function:
In diabetic patients, Chemotaxis, adherence and phagocytosis functions of neutrophils are impaired. This leads to impairment of bacterial killing by neutrophils in the periodontal pocket and significantly increase periodontal destruction 23-24.
Neutrophils kill bacteria by building an oxidative burst. The respiratory burst requires formation of NADPH. In neutrophils pentose phosphate pathway is responsible for the formation of NADPH and ribose-5-phosphate for fatty acid and nucleotide synthesis, respectively 25. NADPH is important for NADPH oxidase and glutathione activity in neutrophils 26-27. In diabetic patients, NADPH production is decreased, which leads eventually to compromised neutrophil function.
Collagen homeostasis:
In diabetic patients changes in collagen synthesis, maturation and homeostatic turnover have been demonstrated. Under hyper-glycemic conditions the gingival fibroblasts produce decreased amounts of collagen and glycosaminoglycans 28. In addition to that, the newly formed collagen is susceptible to degradation by MMPs such as collagenase, which are elevated in diabetic tissues, including the periodontium 29-30. The newly formed collagen fibers get degraded by MMP's but the existing fibers becomes highly cross-linked in the presence of AGEs, decreasing their solubility 31. These events result in an abnormal collagen turn over and the collagen homeostasis is disturbed.
Altered wound healing:
This is one of the most common complications in diabetic patients. Increased levels of glucose in gingival crevicular fluid leads to hindering of fibroblast functions during wound healing. The attachment and spreading of these cells are critical to wound healing and normal tissue turnover 32. Growth factors are important during wound healing. Studies have shown that production of growth factors such as platelet derived growth factor, transforming growth factor beta and fibroblastic growth factor is significantly reduced in diabetic patients 33-34.
Role of advanced glycosylation end products:
In hyper glycemic state, the advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs) are formed. These affect vasculature by stimulating arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation and increasing thickness of vessel wall. Abnormal cross linkage of AGEs modified collagen in the basement membrane causes abnormal degradation of these proteins leading to thickening of basement membrane. AGEs activate a receptor known as ''receptor for AGEs'' (RAGE) found on the surface of smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells, neurons and monocytes/ macrophages 35. Studies have indicated an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in GCF in diabetic patients 36. AGE's may be responsible for this. Interactions between AGEs and their receptors on inflammatory cells (RAGE) results in the increased production of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and TNF-α. This interaction may be the cause of the marked elevation in gingival crevicular fluid levels of IL-1β and TNF-α seen in subjects with diabetes compared with those without diabetes.
AGEs are also associated with increased expression of various genes regulated by the transcription factor nuclear factor-κB (NF- κB) 37. It alters the phenotype of the monocyte/macrophage and results in the increased production of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and TNF-α 38-39.
Relationship of Diabetes and Periodontitis
Increased oxidative stress:
AGEs have been associated with enhanced oxidant stress 40-41 and subsequent expression of endothelial expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 42. These changes further enhance the destructive process and contribute to connective tissue destruction.
Effect on osteoblastic function:
Under normal conditions there is a critical balance between the osteoblasit and clastic activity, maintaining the normal bone turn over. However, in hyperglycaemic state there is inhibition of osteoblastic cell proliferation and collagen production that result in reduced bone formation and diminished mechanical properties of the newly formed bone 43-46.
Oral complications of diabetes mellitus 21
Long-term diabetic complication
Oral implications
Microvascular disease
Greater susceptibility of oral tissues to trauma
More opportunistic infections (e.g., candidiasis)
Greater accumulation of plaque
Greater risk of caries
Delayed wound healing
Greater susceptibility to periodontal disease
Peripheral neuropathy
|Oral paresthesia, including burning mouth or tongue
Altered taste sensations
The effect of periodontal disease on diabetes:
Gingivitis and periodontitis are inflammatory conditions having a primary microbiological etiology. Gingivitis is the inflammation of gingiva with no attachment loss whereas in periodontitis there is loss of periodontal structures clinically evident as attachment loss. The host-microbial interactions lead to production of various chemical mediators which have local and systemic effects. As both periodontal diseases and diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes, have major inflammatory components, the role of inflammatory mediators is important in the disease progression. The following mechanisms have been proposed to explain the effect of periodontal infection on diabetes mellitus,
Micro-organisms involved in periodontal infection:
As we know that bacteria involved in periodontitis are usually anaerobic Gram-negative bacteria. They cause damage to periodontal tissues directly by releasing their virulent factors and indirectly by initiating the release of various inflammatory mediators by host immune cells 47.
Gram-negative bacteria-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a potent inducer of TNF-α from monocytes and macrophages. Studies done on rat models have shown that infusion of bacterial LPS, which is a potent inducer of TNF-α, resulted in severe insulin resistance in these animals 48-49. These findings indicate that periodontal infections may lead to insulin resistance.
The micro-biological studies done on diabetic patients have not revealed any particular bacterial species which may be increased in number in these patients 50. One study done on type 1 DM and their non-DM healthy siblings staying together found no difference in their levels of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Capnocytophaga species 51.
Role of TNF-α:
As discussed earlier, TNF-α has been found to increase insulin resistance. Let's try to find out the molecular mechanism behind this theory. Under normal conditions when insulin binds to the insulin receptor on muscle and fat cells, a tyrosine residue of cytoplasmic domain of the insulin receptor is autophosphorylated. It leads to initiation of signal that causes glucose uptake by cell. However, in the presence of TNF-α, this process is inhibited, thus influencing glucose uptake by cells resulting in insulin resistance 52-54.
TNF-α is believed to impair the tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate molecules, an essential step in the signal transduction pathway for insulin. This action thereby impairs the messenger RNA (mRNA) transcription process needed for synthesis of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter protein (GLUT-4) receptor. In addition, TNF-α causes adipocytes to release free fatty acids, which contribute to insulin resistance by impairing insulin signaling 55.
A study has demonstrated that subjects with type 2 diabetes and periodontitis, who underwent periodontal treatment resulted in a significant reduction in serum levels of TNF-α that was accompanied by a significant reduction in mean HbA1c values (from 8.0 to 7.1 percent) 56.
Relationship of Periodontitis and Diabetes
From the above discussion we can conclude that prevention and control of periodontal disease must be considered an integral part of diabetes control. Well-controlled diabetics have a similar incidence of periodontitis as do non-diabetics. Diabetic patients must be educated about maintenance of good oral hygiene which can improve the periodontal health as well as glycaemic control.
Studies have indicated the role of AGEs and pro-inflammatory cytokines released during periodontal disease activity increase insulin resistance. Blocking the activity of these mediators can improve glycaemic control in diabetic patients. Further investigations are required in this direction.

Way back in the Dark Ages (the dictionary defines it as an era of ignorance, superstition, social chaos and repression) people didn't build wind turbines out of fear of offending the powerful Wind God. They refused solar power arrays because who could predict the Sun God's reaction. It could be fiery.
Although Thales, a 6th century BC philosopher/experimenter, had discovered static electricity, not much happened for a long time to advance the science. We give Ben Franklin a lot of credit, but others like Galvani, Volta and Sir Humphrey David added to the understanding.
The Dark Ages date to the fall of Rome. But later the Age of Enlightenment spread to cover the world. That's not quite true. On a sandy peninsula on the coast of Massachusetts 25 percent of the natives are still in the Dark Ages.
Sadly, they seem to prefer Black Coal to the more logical use of wind and sun. Nearly all the officials with the power to determine our power sources belong in that 25 percent.
The 75 percent of the people who are Enlightened have worked very hard in a long-lasting effort to bring Cape Backward into a brighter present and future. Is there something you could be doing to improve those percentages?
Perhaps the new HyLine/Cape Wind cooperation will inspire more opponents to see the economic benefits of becoming supporters. Eco- tourism will bring jobs and stretch our short tourist season into a year-round source of prosperity. It has worked that way near European offshore wind farms. Maybe those slower politicians will begin to feel some heat from our business community to stop being obstacles to lighting up the area without emissions, explosions, or meltdowns.
Let there be light! Richard C. Bartlett, Cotuit

In a interview to CNBC-TV18, Ambareesh Baliga, independent analyst, gives his expectation from the Nifty. Baliga predicts the Nifty will see a good support at 6000- 6020.
While he says that it might take a little while before the market sees a new high, he doesnt rule out the possibilty of one. "It may take a bit longer to reach those new highs, but atleast we are quite stable. I think 6,000-6,020 is possibly a very good support. So, breaking that will be quite difficult for the markets, but at the same time, over the next few weeks one can see those new highs," he says.
Also read: Nifty won't correct as long as FII flows continue: Udayan
Below is the edited transcript of Baliga's interview to CNBC-TV18.
Q: How is it looking for the tail end of this month? The market has gotten extremely scratchy especially the broader end.
A: I suppose the market will hold on. There might not be a very spirited rally and in a way, it is quite good that there is no bubble building up. We had a bubble building when we crossed 6,000, in 2007, 2008 and in 2010. However, now people are slightly cautious. So, I think it is good for the markets. It may take a bit longer to reach those new highs, but atleast we are quite stable. I think the downside is quite limited from here. I think 6,000-6,020 is possibly a very good support. So, breaking that will be quite difficult for the markets, but at the same time, over the next few weeks one can see those new highs.
Q: What did you make of the big crack in Housing Development and Infrastructure (HDIL) yesterday? How would you approach that name this morning?
A: Infact, I have been quite cautious on the various Mumbai players other than Oberois. It was clearly because of the promoter selling out to a certain extent in the open market that it spooked the other institutional players. So, we could see it still coming down further. I see a level of closer to Rs 75-80.
Q: How will the market read this news on Tata Motors and a guidance being lowered for Jaguar Land Rover?
A: It is a bit negative for Tata Motors, especially after the sort of a spirited run, which we saw, raising Rs 2,000 crore plus would be taken negatively. At the same time lowering of the guidance will not be taken well. So, after the sort of move we saw in the last couple of months, I think you should see some correction and that correction maybe in the region of about 5-6 percent from here.
Q: Do you see more downside on Hindustan Unilever (HUL)?
A: Yes, but then I think the sharp slide is over. From hereon, we may not see a very sharp slide, but I think the upside is clearly capped at Rs 475-480. Over a period of time, we could see levels of closer to about Rs 425-430. So clearly, Indian Tobacco Company (ITC) would be an outperformer. I think one should still take the trade of going long on ITC and going short on HUL.

Depends on how big of a build you are doing. If youre doing a simple stage 2 + build. Ya precision is fine, they are good guys and do good work. if you're going to try and make some real nice reliable power, gtfo of NJ! Nothing good will come out of NJ (automotive wise). lol However, I went to Rallispec which is like on the border of NJ and Philly but I consider it Philly although it's still 100% NJ. lol This is my first time dealing with them but I know many of people who have dealt with them and have nothing but good things to say about them. I've seen some real dope subies come out of Rallispec and they last a long ass time!
So basically it all comes down to preference and where you are going with the car.
Idk what kind of build you are doing, but I have a **** ton of parts for sale from my last build if you are interested. Feel free to check it out, we can meet up and I can give you my opinion on shops and what not.

and bless my mission. On my arrival in Nmv-York, I learned, to my great astonishment, that tlie friend, on wiiom my hoj^es of a winter gar- ment had rested, was become njy enemy I I was j^reaily pained, he was very dear to me ; but a religious slanderer iiad been at his ear, and had prejudiced him agaii. St me. I lost him forever — alas ! alas ! how many such losses have I sustained, since I became a promulgator of the trutli, as it is in Jesus.
Leaving Nt'w-York, I postponed my journey to Newport, passed through East Jersev, and stop|)ed at Amboy, where I had nmny friends. Sitting one evening at tea with a lady, she complained, that her maid had quitted her, having been seduced from her duty, by a fuot soldier. This immediately reminded me of Mrs. Trinl)ath, the poor unhapjjy lady, at whose house, in Cork, I had, in company with Mr. Wliitttield, and others, been so splendidly entertained. I related the mournful tale, when the lady assured me, she knew the unhappy creature ; she had seen her in Amboy, and that she was now in New-York, in a most wretched situation. 1 immediately conceived a hope, that, if I could obtain an interview with her, I might prevail ujion her to return to her widowed mother, and to her children ; and although her husband was no more, she might yet, in some measure, retrieve the past. Alas ! alas I I did not calculate, that I was thus making provision for the most serious calamity, which, during my sojourn in this new world, had un- til then overtaken me. The following day, intent on my purpose, I took passage in the packet, for New- York ; accompanied by the ser- jeant-major of the regiment, to w hich the fellow belonged, w ith whom this deluded woman lived. I asked him, if he knew such a person ? Yes, he knew her, and she was in a very wretched condition. 1 sighed, from t!ie inmost recesses of my soul, while I listened to his account of her manner of living. I begged to know, if I could see her. Yes, he coidd conduct me to her abode ; but on our arrival, passing over the common, near the gaol, to the residence of this poor creature, we chanced to meet her infamous seducer, who, not having heard of the death of Mr. Trinbath, immediately concluded I was timt injured hus- band, come to reclaim my wretched ivanderer. I nder this imprt^asion, he hastened home, and efTectually secreted Iut, before we reached the door. I was disappointi'd, but 1 informed a poor creutiire in the house, that I would call, upon the ensuing day, at one o'clock, when I hoped I might obtain an interview. I was, tjje next day, punctual to the appointment; but, instead of the misguided woman, I received a letter, flnc^.-i,-) tr, Mr. Trinbath, entreating most earnestlv, that I would not

Facebook Reverses Course
If you have kids on Facebook you might have noticed that the social media site has changed its policy again on the posting of violent videos.
Facebook has done a complete reversal on the issue. In May the site started taking down violent videos after complaints from the Family Online Safety Institute. Now, they are being allowed back online. Social media analyst Crystal Washington says it's about keeping up with other social media sites.
"If they want to stay competitive with Twitter then they can't really censor a lot of things that happen in the real world," Washington told KTRH.
Facebook says the videos can stay as long as they don't glorify violence. But who decides what is violent? Analyst Chris Kraft says for now, it's Facebook.
"It's a question all technology companies with large user bases have. Apple, for instance, has strict rules on pornography," Kraft said.
Kraft says Facebook has to play policeman here.
"Companies realize they have to play some sort of censorship role to keep the health of their community intact. I think Facebook is struggling with that," Kraft told KTRH.
Critics say the images could cause harm to kids, but Crystal Washington told KTRH parents have a responsibility here, too.
"Parents are not adhering to the 13-year old age limit and they are letting younger children on Facebook that don't belong there," Washington explained.
KTRH tried to talk with the Family Online Safety Institute about this, but they didn't return our calls.

Collins' Office Makes Change to Mobile Office Hours
The office of 9th District U.S. Representative Doug Collins said Monday it has to cancel scheduled mobile office hours this week in Franklin and Hart counties.
Collins' office stated that both the scheduled office hour times in Franklin and Hart counties will have to be postponed and will be re-scheduled at a later date.
According to the congressman's office, the cancellation is due to a death in the family of one of Collins' staff members.
His office said that new dates and times for those office hours will be passed along once they are scheduled.
Collins will still have constituent service representatives on hand Tuesday morning in Danielsville, Tuesday afternoon in Elberton, Thursday morning in Towns County, and Thursday afternoon in Clayton, as has been previously scheduled.
During mobile office hours, Collins' staff will be available to discuss specific casework issues, as well as listen to concerns regarding upcoming legislative debates and discussions.

The shampoo and conditioner are sulfate free (which makes lots of hair junkies happy. All I know about sulfates is that my stylist in California, Shannon, told me they are bad news). They have a slight citrus scent, though it can be hard to pick up and they are essentially fragrance free. They are both pretty easy to use. The shampoo has a light lather, the conditioner is a bit thicker (which I like), and they both rinse out very easily. The conditioner is a good "everyday" conditioner, meaning that it is definitely hydrating enough but doesn't weigh down your hair. However, if you need a heavy duty conditioner you should be looking at their leave in treatment as well.
The real pay off for using these products comes once you style your hair. My hair is naturally wavy, but not a "good" wavy. I mean I have frizz if I let it air dry. So, I tend to dry and straighten every day. Using this shampoo and conditioner definitely makes my hair easier to style each day, and it looks smoother than with other shampoos/conditioners. While using these products won't allow me to completely abandon all of my styling products, I do think they cut down on product use and I liked using them. Definitely check them out if you're dealing with frizz issues and want to cut down on your styling time!

Originally posted on The 6th Sens | Last updated 2/28/12
Norm MacIver points record wasn't the only thing to come to fall within the past week. Yes, the Brian Lee era in Ottawa has also come to a close.
Since being drafted with the ninth overall selection in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft, it's been a long and uphill climb for the John Muckler draft selection to try and endear himself to the fans and incumbent managerial group.
Now that climb is finally over.
Although the bulk of this team's work -- the separate Kyle Turris and Ben Bishop trades -- was done prior to yesterday's deadline, the Ottawa Senators did trade a bottom pairing/depth defenceman to the Tampa Bay Lightning for a bottom pairing defenceman of their own. Averaging 17 minutes and 36 seconds of ice-time per game, Matt Gilroy ranked fifth amongst Lightning blueliners in average time on-ice.
General manager Bryan Murray's pursuit of Gilroy is well publicized and dates back to 2009 when the defenceman was a senior at Boston University. The then highly pursued collegiate free agent opted to sign a deal with the Rangers instead. After two forgettable seasons in New York, Gilroy became an unrestricted free agent this past offseason when Glen Sather opted not to tender him a qualifying offer. Gilroy then inked a $1M one-year contract with the Lightning.
While discussing his previous interest in the player, Murray said:
"We weren't involved to the financial level that obviously the Rangers were. Being a New York guy, he had a real preference to stay in New York at that time. Now he's found, like a lot of pros do, that you are inclined to move around more often. Talking to him today, it sounds like coming to a hockey market and obviously he's gotten a lot of calls from the media and he's excited about that and thinks he can jump in and make a push towards the playoffs."Hmmm, is that GM speak for "now that he's out of options, Ottawa's finally an attractive destination for him"? (Note: If you want to listen to yesterday's press conference in which Murray reflects on the trade deadline, you can do that by clicking here.)
Murray still believes that Gilroy can bring some dimension to the Senators.
"We believe that (Gilroy) has very good mobility. He's going to push the pace and push the puck. We want to have our defence contribute a lot on the offensive side of the puck.
That is a priority in our game today." ~ General Manager Bryan MurrayThanks to the offensive production of Erik Karlsson and the push the pace philosophy that the organization has employed, Ottawa's blueline is the most productive in the NHL. Unfortunately, it's not without cost. Averaging 32.2 shots allowed per game, Ottawa also leads the league in that statistical category. As Scott (@Wham_City) pointed out yesterday, Matt Gilroy will certainly fit in with Ottawa's group. Allowing 26.8 shots per 60 minutes of ice-time, Gilroy was Tampa Bay's worst defenceman in terms of shot prevention.
"He's not a depth guy. He's probably a four (or) five guy."
As Ian Mendes alluded to yesterday, from the sounds of what Murray was saying yesterday, it is easy to infer that Gilroy could be viewed as a potential insulator to the eventual loss of aging veteran players like Filip Kuba or Sergei Gonchar.
To borrow from Bruce Garrioch, that may be a bit naive.
In terms of Gilroy's average ice-time per game, this season is his best to date playing 17:36 a night. In his previous two seasons, it was 16:18 and 14:10 respectively. So forgive my skepticism when I say that Gilroy's never shown that he can be anything more than a bottom pairing guy in his career.
Even at the age of 27, there is no guarantee that his offensive capabilities will develop further than they already are.
Using the Dobber Hockey's Frozen Tools component, here is a comparison of what Gilroy and Lee have done this season:
Gilroy's points-per-game rate is higher than Lee's. In part, this is inflated somewhat by his team shooting 11.44-percent whenever he's on the ice.
Like it or not, the Senators are hoping that Gilroy can add a puck-moving component to the bottom pairing and with Matt Carkner already acting as a defensive defenceman, they viewed Brian Lee as expendable. In the process, what they have done is assemble a blue line in which three of its members will reach unrestricted free agency on July 1st.
As optimistic as the organization is that prospects like Mark Borowiecki or an Eric Gryba or Patrick Wiercioch could step in and play in the NHL next season, expectations within this city are going to rise for next season. For this organization to take a step forward, with the exception of Erik Karlsson, the defence is going to have to get significantly better. What it does is put a ton of the pressure on the organization to: a) retain their current guys; b) go into a weak open market and overpay to bring in a potential bad fit; or c) trade assets to bring in a defenceman or two.
Corvo Backtracking
In light of his candid comments yesterday about finding Kyle Turris and engaging him in a fight, Joe Corvo went on the defensive and backtracked on what he said. It's the best D that Corvo has played all season.

FLORENCE, S.C. – Despite returning four starters from a Sweet Sixteen squad, Francis Marion University missed out on earning a preseason national ranking by just one point as the USA Today/ESPN Division II Women's Basketball Top 25 Preseason Coaches' Poll was released this week.
Francis Marion garnered 110 points, while 25th-ranked Grand Valley State University picked up 111 points. Michigan Technological University, 27-7 last season, recorded 12 first-place votes and occupies the top spot in the preseason ranking.
The Patriot Women were 27-5 last season and ended the year ranked 14th nationally. FMU won its second consecutive Peach Belt Conference regular-season championship, made the program's second straight NCAA Tournament appearance, and led the nation in scoring offense for the second year in a row.
Francis Marion plays an exhibition game at Winthrop University on Saturday night at 7 p.m. The Patriots will open their regular-season schedule on Nov. 15 at home against Converse College.

Attorneys representing John Edwards ended their case Wednesday without calling several potentially significant witnesses, including the former senator himself. The defense also did not put on the stand Edwards' ex-mistress Rielle Hunter, his daughter Cate and Andrew Young, a former campaign aide for the two-time Democratic presidential candidate.
Edwards is accused of committing campaign-finance violations during his failed 2008 White House bid. If convicted, he faces up to 30 years in prison. —TEB
The government alleges Edwards "knowingly and willingly" accepted large amounts of money from wealthy campaign donors Fred Baron and Rachel Melon to hide Hunter and her pregnancy in an effort to remain a viable candidate in his 2008 presidential campaign.
CNN Senior Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin said the defense team's failure to call more witnesses did not necessarily signify anything.
"The defense clearly feels that its core argument is already before the jurors — which is that, whatever you think of Edwards as a human being, there is no way that he regarded the payments by Baron and Mellon as campaign contributions," Toobin said.
Closing arguments are set for Thursday, with the jury deliberations expected to begin Friday.
The Daily Beast:
The government's case stretched over three weeks and included 21 witnesses, and the defense case wrapped up after just over two days of testimony—causing nearly everyone in the courtroom to leave slack-jawed.
While it is up to the prosecution to prove its case—and there is no burden on the defense whatsoever—it was not the kind of defense anyone expected of a man who had aspired to the highest office in the land.

India marked a milestone when the World Health Organization struck it from the list of polio-endemic countries in February after no new cases were reported for more than a year. From Delhi, NPR's Julie McCarthy reports on how, despite poverty and poor sanitation, the world's second-most populous country is eradicating the disease.
A Massive Challenge
India has 175 million children aged 5 and younger, and all of them are tiny targets in this massive national immunization project that, since January 2011, has made India free of a disease that has afflicted it for millennia.
It must remain polio-free for three years before the WHO will certify that India has eradicated polio.

Wouldn't it be nice to take full advantage of your Netflix subscription and watch an episode of Mad Men on your Chromebook?
As you probably already anticipated, you can now stream TV shows and movies from Netflix using your Chromebook.
Of course, you'll have to download a free app from the Chrome Web Store, but you're likely used to that by now.
The Google Chrome team also recently announced the release of Chrome 13 on the Stable Channel for Chromebooks, which includes the Acer AC700, Samsung Series 5, and Cr-48. If you want to be precise it's Chrome version 13.0.782.108 (Platform version 587.100).

Here is the place where you can talk 1911 Guys.
http://1911forum.com/ They even have a Kimber forum.
This is a discussion on Can you talk me out of this 1911 Kimber? within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I'f I'm gonna buy a 1911 that I can hang a light on, its going to be one that works, and works, and works, with ...
I'f I'm gonna buy a 1911 that I can hang a light on, its going to be one that works, and works, and works, with only a little oil now and then. If I cant put ~2k rounds through it between cleanings, and if it wont run despite having magazine and recoil springs that need replaced, then I'm not gonna bother. The 5" Kimbers I own meet these requirements. The 4" Kimber does not.
Dont get me wrong, its a great CC peice, but if the SHTF, I'm grabbing one or all of my 5" guns, the main reason being the spring lasts a hell of a lot longer. And when its wore out, its easy to change.
Compact handguns with light rails always baffled me. Get the compact for concealability, but hang a light on it to ruin it? With the Surefire X200 on that gun, its just about as long as a 5", so why not go with the full-size model? If you want a compact, why get one with a rail?
If I were in you shoes, I'd get the full-size TLE/RL (if I wanted one with a rail) and carry the Colt. Or, I'd get the 4" Kimber without a rail for carry and hang a light on my Colt.
My $.02. Sorry if I sound like a jerk.
Thanks for all the information you've all given me so far! You folks really are top shelf!
I think my taunt has worked... you've talked me out of that particular Kimber. I didn't think about the problems associated with the rail.
So... now I'm looking at getting the Kimber Pro Carry HD II. It seems to have most of the features I still want, all the while without the rail.
I'd again love to hear all of your feedback and comments on this choice for concealed carry. (I wish it had the night sights on it, though.)
P.S. You can see (and read about) it here:
I usually try to discourage single-action 1911 model pistols as a person's first carry weapon unless they already have a decent amount of experience with it.
Some people have a hard time getting over the fact that they're designed to be carried cocked & locked, and others just aren't comfortable enough carryinga weapon to confidently carry a 1911 the way it's supposed to be carried. And if you're going to carry it condition 3 or 2, then what's the point.
That being said - that's a mighty nice Kimber. Any particular reason you've settled on Kimber?
I have a Kimber TLE/REL and it's great. It is also my EDC. It has a ext. estractor and I have yet to have a problem. I have also put over 1,800. rounds through it with out a problem. Again the real question is whats best for you.
Thanks for your comments, Pickpocket.Originally Posted by Pickpocket
I fully intend on carrying the 1911 in Condition 1. I have enough experience and confidence in the 1911 in Condition 1 that it will not be a concern to be cocked and locked.
I have no overwhelming reason to get Kimber... I have just found them to be a good value when the price/features are put together. Also, the reviews on the various Kimber models from others have ranked them highly as well.
I've actually got it down to two models at this point. One is the Pro Carry HD II (link is in my prior post) and the Stainless Pro Carry II/Night Sights:
Any and all feedback and comments are appreciated! Thanks again!

Indeed, this week's summit is seen as an American effort to regain some of the influence lost in the region to China over the past decade. Next year, the United States hopes to expand a 14-year-old free-trade deal with Africa.
On Tuesday, the Obama administration announced $14 billion in commitments from U.S. businesses to invest in Africa — money to be plowed into construction, clean energy, banking, information technology and other sectors. The money includes a $2 billion investment by General Electric by 2018, $200 million by Marriott and a $66 million commitment by IBM to provide technology services to Ghana's Fidelity Bank.

Farming Goes Sunless With LED Greenhouses
Bioengineering team PlantLab have a bold plan to solve the global food crisis.
Faced with a growing world population and shrinking available farmland, the Dutch bioengineering team PlantLab is taking Dickson Despommier's Vertical Farm concept into a bold, new direction by replacing natural sunlight with artificial illumination.
In their research station, strawberries, yellow peppers, basil and banana plants take on an eerie pink glow under red and blue bulbs of Light-Emitting Diodes, or LEDs. Water trickles into the pans when needed and all excess is recycled, and the temperature is kept constant. Lights go on and off, simulating day and night, but according to the rhythm of the plant — which may be better at shorter cycles than 24 hours.
PlantLab claim the growth rate of their "high value and low volume" greenhouse plants are three times faster than under natural conditions, using 90 percent less water, and with zero need for pesticides, not mention exempt from extreme climate change. Perfect for doomsday bunkers, also with practical use for right now. A small, 1,075 square ft. building set up for sunless farming could feed their entire town of 140,000, says Plantlab spokesman Gertjan Meeuws, imagining stores with their own dedicated sunless farms, eliminating the energy expenditure of transporting food from rural farms to cities.

Last year I wrote of mostly inexpensive road trips on the East Coast. I have given you all an entire year to increase your total disposable income so we are going to actually suggest some out of the country trips that would cost you dearly if taken during peak season—but between now and Dec. 15 can be had for a song (or at least not the equity in your home).
The first trip can be done in less than a week and will supply you with cocktail conversation for years to come. Icelandair is offering a Winter Wellness Package (and who couldn't use that?) for as little as $877 roundtrip from NYC and Washington, D.C., with another of their gateways at just $20 more. This includes roundtrip air to Reykjavik, a five-day and four-night hotel stay, a visit to the Blue Lagoon thermal baths, and use of the hotel's spa. You can even add in a viewing of the Northern Lights if nature cooperates.
If feeling the sand between your toes is more your style than exploring the lunar-like landscape of Iceland, now is the time to book that all inclusive vacation to the Mexican Riviera or Caribbean. For anywhere from $750 to $850 you can get roundtrip airfare from the East Coast cities (a little more from elsewhere), seven nights' accommodations, all you can eat (and drink!) for a fraction of what the same getaway will cost after December 15.
And finally, for the purposes of this particular edition, my favorite getaway deal of the fall… Pay attention cruise fans! As I am sure you know, fall and spring are the times when birds migrate and cruise ships "reposition" to warmer climes. Many cruise ships are offering seven days at sea crossing the Atlantic (with maybe a couple of ports thrown in at first) for under $900 and I am not talking about an inside cabin. These are outside cabins with a balcony. For example, on the Queen Mary 2, the largest ocean liner afloat, (there is a difference between an ocean liner and a cruise ship but that's another story), you can get a premium, outside cabin with covered balcony, 7 days NYC to Southampton or vice versa, all meals in the grand Britannia dining with impeccable Cunard service for under $800. How, you may ask, do you get back to the States, (after a couple days in London, of course) without paying an arm and a leg for a one way ticket? Ahhh, we come full circle. One way London to NYC on Icelandair $399.
Ok, on your mark, get set, GO to www.satovacations.com. Tell them Blogger Bob sent you.

I'm not usually one to write anything up about the technical aspects of what some of the worlds best should do, so this is purely a subjective opinion and what I would coach someone to do, in terms of my right and wrong.
Personally I'd start with long before the guillotine got locked up, in fact if you watch the previous fight(Overeem v Browne) it illustrates what I'm about to talk about.
Shogun ended up in a front headlock on his knees with his hands on Chael's hips, and instead of addressing Chael's hands and breaking the hands apart or fighting the grip off of his neck, he simply stood up bent over at the waist. Which if you've done jiu jitsu for a couple months you'll know is spoon feeding a guillotine. If you watch Browne v Overeem, you'll see that at one point Overeem ended up with a similar front headlock, he appeared to be attempting a ten finger guillotine, however Browne still defended the way Shogun should have, he addressed the hands and broke Overeem's grip while still on his knees. Staying down doesn't offer your opponent as easy an ability to pull guard and close it up and finish.
Next once Chael pulled guard, it's difficult for me to see if Shogun's left arm was trapped under Chael's leg or if it was just Shogun's elbow and his hand was on the grip.
If Shogun's arm was trapped, he was in serious trouble and there is not a whole lot left to do, it is difficult to create enough force in a cross face where you have nothing to defend your neck. His best chance if that was the case would be to lay to his right hip and put create a difficult angle for Chael to finish the choke on. It would also keep Chael from getting his right hip to the mat and really putting significant pressure on Shogun's neck. Frankie Edgar did something similar to this when he fought Benson Henderson, I believe it was the first fight.
If Shogun's hand was not trapped and he was able to get some form of resistance on Chael's grip then he has more options. First he probably should not have posted up on his head, that does very little to stop a skilled guy from finishing a guillotine, he needed to flex his back and shrug his shoulders, making it difficult for Chael's arm to sink all the way under. Also posting on his head took away all of Shogun's ability to pull his head out, as he is use it as a point to support all of his weight. He should have once again created a difficult angle for Chael and put pressure on his right hip, rolling Chael onto his left hip and not allowing him to have full use to squeeze with his left arm (which in this case is not the arm doing the choking, but the arm applying the pressure required to finish the choke). Next Shogun needed to use his right arm to not just cross face Chael and turn his face, but to actually offset his neck/spine. Doing that takes away the majority of someone's ability to squeeze (Think attempting to throw a punch while looking straight up at the ceiling or lifting weights while looking at the ground). Shogun needed to use his right arm to force Chael's head backwards and to the side, which not only would/could take a large amount of the pressure away, it would also force Chael to extend his arms to a degree further weakening the hold.
Ideally, Shogun is able to get his right arm on the right side of Chael's face/head and is able to then start pulling Chael's head in a half circle around to the other side (Chael's left hip) which would relieve even more pressure. At which point the choke is pretty much off and it is just a matter of waiting for Chael to let go/burn his arms out or the round to end, or possibly breaking the hands apart and getting the head out.
There are a couple of different ideas in there, hopefully I didn't lose anyone, but not to avoid answering the question or fit into the old instructors cliche, but in actuality Chael was going to finish that 99/100 times, because Shogun stood straight up into it and didn't just prevent the situation and address it early. At least 90%, probably more, of great BJJ defense is prevention, never allowing someone to get that far into a hold.
I may have gone way deeper into that then expected, but I have a tendency to do that, I believe it was Killz a while ago who asked me something about my stretching routine and I posted damn near a book for him with pictures and all of kinds of stuff haha.

Comments Written By David Brown 12:01 AM, 13 April 2014 Well, this sight could well put the kibosh on Nick's workouts with personal trainer Kal Nazir! Yes, gym owner Kal (Jimi Mistry) is set to lock lips with Nick's estranged wife Leanne (Jane Danson) in scenes to be shown in the coming weeks. In the episode set to air on Wednesday 23 April, Leanne will be left furious when a male stripper she's booked for a hen night in the Bistro cancels on her. Under pressure, Kal agrees to step into the role and Leanne can't help but cast quick glances at his six-pack. Later, when they're alone, it doesn't seem that Leanne and Kal will be able to resist each other much longer... Follow @RadioTimes Like this? Share it.

Ended up at work for 14.5 hrs saturday on my dime(love being salaried
) so I was only able to work for about 4 hrs on sunday
I tore my work from last sunday back out and touched that up. Then I put the front lowers on the frame, tacked the front upper into position and aligned my tabs at the axle end to get rid of some bolt bind. I mocked my steering back into place and started working on putting my steering box in its final resting place. I have to fill the holes for the frame crossmember still. Drilling and placing the mount for the steering box through the side of the frame hole was sweet
I cut the steering shaft and mocked that back together for now so I could see my steering shaft angle. I'll have to put that back together a little more formally at a later date. I have to put a trackbar on the front and get material to put my steering together yet. It's coming along.........very.....very....very slowly
In no particular order:
Shouldn't take long to figure out what cookie cutter jeep is mine if it's ever stolen
Going to be another 2 weeks before I can work on it again too
