OYB January 19
Julie FerwerdaJulie Ferwerda's Blog

41:9 Finally, the king's chief cup-bearer spoke up. "Today I have been reminded of my failure," he told Pharaoh. Don't miss the fact that when the cup-bearer "promptly forgot" about Joseph, this was more likely a Divine intervention than a human oversight. God saved the cup-bearer for "such a time as this" when his input would actually be a part of a bigger, significant plan. When people let you down, perhaps it is because they are part of an arrangement to bring about a much more significant plan of good in your life, and the lives of others. The more I learn about the ways of God, there is really no such thing as "chance." The things I deem as disappointing closed doors have often times turned into amazing opportunities if I am patient for God's plan to unfold on the other side!
Joseph as a Christ-type "savior." This is one of my favorite faith lessons in the Bible, and God has often used this passage to encourage me on those days when things "look" pretty gloomy on the surface. But even more than that, this is a favorite because of yet another inspiring glimpse of the future Messiah given to the people of Joseph's day! It is mind-boggling how God orchestrated these amazing Christ-types throughout the Old Testament to give the people a picture of His Son so they would recognize Him when He came. Some did. Most didn't. With the help of Mark Biltz' teaching over at El Shaddai Ministries, here's the Joseph picture of Messiah:
Joseph was a shepherd (compare Genesis 37:2, John 10:11).
He was sent by his father to find his brothers (compare Genesis 37:14, Matthew 15:24).
He was hated by his brothers (compare Genesis 37:3,4, John 15:25).
His brothers made plans to kill him (compare Genesis 37:18, Matthew 26:4).
His brother, Judah, sold Joseph for twenty pieces of silver (compare Genesis 37: 26-27, Matthew 26:15). Remember, Judah is another name for the house of Israel and the line of Judah is the line of Messiah. It was the Jews who "sold" out Jesus. There is no connection between "Judah" and "Judas." These are English names and it is only a coincidence (as far as I know).
He was stripped of his clothes (compare Genesis 37:23, Matthew 27:35).
He was falsely accused (Genesis 39:17-18). Check.
He was recognized as having a supernatural spirit upon him (Genesis 41:38). Check.
When people pleaded for food, Pharaoh told them to, "Go to Joseph and do whatever he tells you (compare Genesis 41:55, John 2:5 at the wedding of Cana)."
His brothers didn't recognize him (compare Genesis 42:7-8, John 1:10-11).
When Judah repented of his sin (Genesis 44:16, 33, 34), Joseph revealed himself (Genesis 45:1-6). I believe (as Mark Biltz suggests) that this is a beautiful symbolic picture of what the day will be like when Jesus reveals Himself to "Judah" after there is repentance (remember that most Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah). I have enhanced this passage to give you the picture:
Jesus could stand it no longer. "Out, all of you!" he cried out to his attendants. He wanted to be alone with his brothers when he told them who he was. Then he broke down and wept aloud. His sobs could be heard throughout the palace.
"I am Jesus!" he said to his brothers. His brothers were speechless! They were stunned to realize that Jesus was standing there in front of them.
"Come over here," he said. So they came closer. And he said again, "I am Jesus, your brother whom you sold to the Roman guards. But don't be angry with yourselves that you did this to me, for God did it (see Isaiah 53:10). He sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives.
13:12 To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given, and they will have an abundance of knowledge. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them. Just the fact that you have committed to reading your OYB, coupled with the fact that you are joining this Blog, both taking a fair amount of time, shows that you are in a place of intent listening. And that is why I'm confident that He's giving you more understanding as you feast on His Word! But we must heed the warning about the seed, making sure that we allow the seed to have fertile soil in which to grow. Any guesses how we cultivate that kind of soil?
Quiz: Which soil are you?
Hard soil? The life-giving, regenerating quality of God's Word cannot penetrate; therefore you have a hard time understanding the ways of God, never fully trusting Him. Perhaps unbelief, pride, lies you believe about God, fear, or laziness keep your soil from being cultivated and ready for new life?
Rocky soil? You get excited when you hear a message that seems just for you, or when God shows up and nudges you for change, or when you see Him doing something miraculous. But you're never quite ready to commit to real, transforming faith where you continue a pattern of growth during the hard days of life. Instead you typically revert to solving your own problems, leaving God's help out of the equation. In this life, your roots are easily pulled up when something better or easier comes along.
Thorny soil? This heart life is too much about you and what you can get out of it, instead of what you can give or sacrifice for God. This is the life of seeking pleasure, comforts, popularity, security, and amusement, rather than pursing the work necessary for the plans and dreams God has for you. It's all about fun and not about responsibility, forgetting that lives are at stake and this earth is not our home.
Good soil? This heart understands that a relationship with God is like a marriage covenant, where you are in for the long haul, committed to growing, learning, studying, and serving your mate in love. This life is full of wonder, adventure, and a quiet contentment with the unknown from day to day as His plan unfolds in according to the Divine method and calendar. This heart is characterized by devotion to God's Word where continuous transformation equips you in faith to be ready, willing, and able for His purposes. It produces the deeper life of Christ and reaps the benefits of being united with Christ-companionship, growth, love, change, joy, purpose, passion, romance, and "offspring." In other words, a great produce of godly works that benefit you and others!
Note: All of our hearts and lives can be characteristic of these different types of soil at different times. The important thing is to recognize when our soil is not ready for the planting of God's Word, figure out why, and then take the necessary steps to plow it up, get rid of the rocks, pour weed-killer on the thorns, or plant away in good soil!

Trailer Park Goes Big
'Ender's Game,' 'The World's End,' and 'The Butler'
By Monica Riese,
11:01AM, Thu. May 9, 2013
The novel version of Ender's Game took home a Hugo Award and a Nebula Award, Edgar Wright won multiple awards for his zom-rom-com screenplay, and the cast of The Butler is one of the most star-studded lists in recent memory.
These are going to be big, so catch a little glimpse now in the Trailer Park.
Ender's Game
The Orson Scott Card favorite from your youth is finally coming to the big screen, and it features Harrison Ford, Viola Davis, Abigail Breslin, and young Asa Butterfield as the title character.
The World's End
Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright are back for their third outing together after the success of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. A British fivesome's pub crawl reunion goes wrong when the realize the town isn't quite how they remembered it. Maybe you really can't go home again.
The Butler
We could try to sum up the story behind this Oscar bait film, but you already know the history, so just meet the unbelievable cast: Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, Robin Williams, John Cusack, Jane Fonda, Cuba Gooding Jr., Terrence Howard, Lenny Kravitz, and, we shit you not, Alan Rickman.

I would choose XY female
I'm not a witch, just a really magical cat
This question has the issue of whether or not to apply the butterfly effect, that being changing the past you would change the current you dramatically, would it not?
I mean look at it this way, the vast majority of females are happy to be female, and the vast majority of males are happy to be male (that's excluding transgender folks)--so clearly something is at play here regarding physiological or social development. Thus, if you were theoretically born as the opposite sex, wouldn't you in almost all likelihood be happy as that sex?
Here's another philosophical question for you all, do you think we (if that can actually be defined in this case, given how could you be someone if you don't exist yet?) actually chose who we are going to be before we're born (our physiological characteristics, parents, etc)? Food for thought.
Don't forget to enjoy the good moments while they last!
fudge that's a hard one! sometimes i want to be a male and sometimes i want to be a female. you get more opportunities as a male, you make more, clothing are much more simpler, etc... but dang it, females are SOO freaking gorgeous BUT so high maintenance and dramatic. ugh... i'm more laid back, chilled, and simple, so i would hope that in my next life i'm a male.
I would like to be similair to futanari but I would still like to look feminine. Sounds weird I know but I have been like that ever since I was really small. Ever since I could remember.
Can I be born a really beautiful Asian boy in my next life...please god.
If this world seeks my destruction ...it goes with me.
I would remain male.
My parents raised me the right way (though they always complained they didn't discipline me enough). I'm not the kind of person who likes to be disciplined, I like to be the master of my own attitude and to be able to correct my own flaws.
I grew up in a very free environment - free of religiosity, free of the pressure of having to act macho.
So I'm happy with being a male, I can tell that the biggest challenge of being a male in this society is to try and be as masculine as possible. I don't get that pressure.
Otherwise, there's really no other challenges to being a man.
The way I hold you and the night just seems to fly
I'd probably be happier being a male.
If you ask yourself this question. You got problems.
And probably see a gender therapist or get start taking hormones. But, Insurance doesn't cover most things, and a lot seem to do it later in life. There are also a lot of weird or bad perceptions that make you hesitant to just go for it. Also, money. It can be very expensive, and all this and more creates a swarm of doubt.
Obviously for me: girl all the way.
I would like to know what its like to be a guy for maybe a day... but I am ultimately happy being a girl. GIRLS RULE! hehe :3
back online! add me and chat!
I would like to be a Jaeger named Gipsy Danger.
I apologize in advance for late responses and dropped conversations.
I would be A rubber man
Listening to AC/DC
I'd stay a girl. Lol I'll only choose a dude if playing a video game
Attack on the Titan is soo good!!!
Why I would never even dare to think to switch sex neither for the sake of curiosity nor intellectual research.
I was born a man, I shall die a man.
America Campeon 2013! Odiame Mas!

The Kuvasz is a livestock guardian breed hailing from Hungary. These days, he is primarily a family companion or show dog, although some still find employment as flock guardians. The Kuvasz has many good qualities, but he is not the easiest dog to live with. If you want the calm, protective dog that is the Kuvasz at his best, be prepared to do a lot of homework to find him and put in plenty of effort training and socializing him once you bring him home.
The Kuvasz is gentle with his people, including children and other pets in his own family, but he's not a lovey-dovey kind of dog. Strangers will not get a warm welcome from him, and he can be aggressive toward dogs he doesn't know. He may also misunderstand children at play and take steps to protect "his" children. Always supervise children and Kuvaszok (the plural of the breed name).
Early, frequent socialization is essential to prevent a Kuvasz from becoming overly suspicious or fearful of anything new or different. Purchase a Kuvasz puppy from a breeder who raises the pups in the home and ensures that they are exposed to many different household sights and sounds, as well as people, before they go off to their new homes.
Continue socializing your Kuvasz throughout his life by taking him to puppy kindergarten class, visits to friends and neighbors, and outings to local shops and businesses. This is the only way he can learn to be discriminating, recognizing what is normal and what is truly a threat.
The Kuvasz is active and needs a long daily walk or a chance to run in a safe, traffic-free area. Given his predatory instincts, though, a park is not a good choice. If you love the outdoors, a Kuvasz will be a good hiking companion, but he should be kept on leash. Until he matures physically at 2 years of age, avoid letting him play too hard, climb stairs frequently or run on slippery floors, all of which can contribute to skeletal problems during his formative years.
This is a giant breed, unsuited to condo or apartment life. That cute little white ball of fluff will grow up to weigh 70 to 115 pounds. Be sure you are prepared to live with and care for a dog of that size. He is best suited to a home with a large yard surrounded by a solid fence that is at least five or six feet high. Do not rely on an underground electronic fence to keep him contained. The shock it provides is nothing to this tough dog, and he won't let it deter him from leaving the yard if that's what he wants to do.
Like any dog, Kuvasz puppies are inveterate chewers and because of their size can do more damage than puppies of other breeds. Don't give them the run of the house until they've reached trustworthy maturity. And keep your Kuvasz puppy busy with training, play and socialization experiences. A bored Kuvasz is a destructive Kuvasz.
Begin training as soon as you bring your Kuvasz puppy home, while he is still at a manageable size. Use positive reinforcement training techniques such as praise, play and food rewards, and be patient. The Kuvasz will respond to kind, firm, consistent training, but he won't put up with force or cruelty.
Kuvaszok will bark at anything that might possibly be a threat. Teach them to be discriminating in their warnings or you will likely have complaints from neighbors.
While you might think of him as an outdoor dog, nothing could be farther from the truth. Kuvaszok are guardian dogs, devoted to their people. They should certainly have access to a securely fenced yard, but when the family is home, the Kuvasz should be with them. Chaining a Kuvasz out in the yard and giving him little or no attention is not only cruel, it can also lead to aggression and destructive behavior.
The Kuvasz has a beautiful white double coat that sheds dirt but also sheds hair. Brush him weekly with a pin brush to remove dead hair and keep the skin and coat healthy. Clean the ears and trim the nails as needed, and bathe the Kuvasz on the rare occasions that he's dirty.
All purebred dogs have the potential to develop genetic health problems, just as all people have the potential to inherit a particular disease. Run, don't walk, from any breeder who does not offer a health guarantee on puppies, who tells you that the breed is 100 percent healthy and has no known problems, or who tells you that her puppies are isolated from the main part of the household for health reasons. A reputable breeder will be honest and open about health problems in the breed and the incidence with which they occur in her lines.
Kuvaszok have some health conditions that can be a concern, especially if you aren't cautious about whom you buy from. They include progressive retinal atrophy, autoimmune thyroiditis and orthopedic problems such as osteochondritis dissecans, hip and elbow dysplasia, patellar luxation and cruciate ligament injuries.
The Kuvasz Club of America, which is the American Kennel Club parent organization for the breed in the United States, participates in the Canine Health Information Center Program. For a Kuvasz to achieve CHIC certification, he must have OFA or PennHIP certification for hips and elbows and an OFA thyroid clearance. Additional certifications that are recommended but not required are OFA clearances for patellas (knees) and heart; Canine Eye Registry Foundation certification that eyes are healthy; and a DNA test for PRA. Breeders must agree to have all test results, positive or negative, published in the CHIC database.
Do not purchase a puppy from a breeder who cannot provide you with written documentation that the parents were cleared of health problems that affect the breed. Having the dogs "vet checked" is not a substitute for genetic health testing.
Pet insurance for Kuvaszok costs more than for mixed breed dogs. This is because Kuvaszok are more likely than mixed breed dogs to make claims for hereditary conditions that are expensive to treat.
Embrace pet insurance plans offer full coverage for all breed-specific conditions (excluding those that are pre-existing) to which Kuvaszok are susceptible. The best time to get pet insurance for your Kuvasz is when he's a healthy puppy. You can't predict what will happen in the future, and pet insurance is the one thing you can't get when you need it the most.

Bill Would Limit Access to Pseudoephedrine for People Convicted of Meth Crimes
A state Senate committee today may consider a bill creating a Michigan methamphetamine abuse registry.
Under the proposal from Senate Republican John Proos of St. Joseph, anyone convicted of a meth related crime would be required to get a prescription before being allowed to buy any simple cold medicine that contains pseudoephedrine.
Pseudoephedrine is a key ingredient in making meth.
There are already caps on the amount that any person is allowed to buy over a certain period. Southwest Michigan has over the years been a particular hot spot for illegal meth labs, and Proos says that in 2012 Kalamazoo County had the highest incidence of individuals trying to purchase excessive amounts of pseudoephedrine.
Overall in 2012, police seized 325 meth labs in the state, according to a report from the Michigan State Police.
Proos has also sponsored bills cracking down on people who buy pseudoephedrine for others.
Violators could face up to ten years in prison and fines of up to $10,000. The bills are before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

A few days ago I told you about how I got 15 different beers for Christmas. I also said that I will review them on this site after I read a few beer blogs. Well I have done that, so this is going to be my first review. The first beer I am going to pick out of the group is Yuengling Traditional Lager. I figured I would start with this one since it's one I drink often.
Yuengling Brewery is located in Pottsville, Pennsylvania and is the oldest operating brewing company in the United States. Yuengling Traditional Lager is the company's flagship beer. It is an American Amber / Red Lager with an ABV of 4.9 percent.
Looking at other beer sites they review beer based on five factors, appearance, smell, taste, mouth feel, and drinkability. I am going to try and use the same factors on my site.
Appearance (3.5/5): It comes in a green bottle. When you pour it in a glass it has a dark golden, almost copper color to it. The head is thick at first, but quickly fades away.
Smell (4/5): Smells like a normal beer to me with a hint of spice and malt. I hope as I review more beers my nose gets better with this one.
Taste (3.5/5): When I drink it there is kind of an apple flavor to it. Then it changes to a bready taste. I'm not sure what it is but it finishes with a refreshing after taste. I think as I try more beers I will find what it is that I like in a beer.
Mouth Feel (4/5): Light and refreshing. I have some beers that feel thick and this is not one of them. It almost feels soft, if that's possible for a liquid.
Drinkability (5/5): This is my go to beer; just about every bar in Pittsburgh has it on tap. It's always my first choice when I'm out.
Overall, I give this beer 4 out of 5 bacon strips. You can read other reviews about this beer at BeerAdvocate.com.
Feel free to comment with your own review of this beer. I am no beer expert so if you can offer me any tips that would be appreciated too.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for People Making a Difference (PMD), Boston, MA, USA
This nonprofit offers extremely welk-organized projects that are designed to bring maximum satisfaction to the volunteers as well as clearly benefit the charity served. Projects are just long enough, just demanding enough, and have a clear finished product. Icebreaker a are always a part, to help volunteers get comfortable with each other, and leaders pass out fresh bajed cookies during the wrap up.
Review for People Making a Difference (PMD), Boston, MA, USA
I have been volunteering through PMD since shortly after it began. I love that it involves a wide variety of projects serving different charities, and that I am welcome to sign up only for the ones that I like and that fit into my schedule. There is no pressure to sign up for more, and the projects themselves are carefully designed to be just enough work to be interesting and not enough to overload. They are crafted to be satisfying to the volunteer as much as helpful to the charity. And there are nice ice breaking routines built in to get comfortable with the other volunteers.
I encourage single friends of all ages, especially, to volunteer through PMD. The projects usually average half veterans and half new volunteers, half couples and half singles in a wide age range. This is a great way to meet nice people with a service ethic and without dating pressure, and exchange contact info only if you want to after working side by side.

Re: Overly complicated reductions?
Hi David,
Reduce gives the correct answer. If you do not belive it, simply replace
x in Exp[-2x] by the solution and you will get y.
Obviously for y=0 there is no solution (or infinity if you like)
2Pi n comes in because Exp[2PI n]==1
If you only want a real solution, replace y==.. by {y==..,Element[x,Reals]}
hope this helps, Daniel

Hamas accuses rival of PM attack
The Palestinian Hamas group has accused a key figure in the rival Fatah faction of trying to assassinate Prime Minister Ismail Haniya as he returned to Gaza.
Hamas accused Mohammad Dahlan of orchestrating the attack as Mr Haniya crossed Gaza's border with Egypt.
Clashes have now broken out between Hamas and Fatah supporters in Gaza City and the West Bank town of Ramallah.
A bodyguard died and Mr Haniya's son was among five hurt in the gun battle late on Thursday at the Rafah border.
Mr Dahlan has rejected Hamas's accusations of involvement, saying that Hamas, the governing party, was trying to "mask its failures".
'Grave threat'
Correspondents say the attack on Mr Haniya - and Hamas's open accusation of such a prominent opponent - have dramatically raised the stakes in the tense political struggle in the Palestinian territories.
Shooting erupted in Gaza City on Friday between masked Hamas gunmen and Palestinian police allied to Fatah. An exchange of gunfire between the factions was also reported in Ramallah.
Friday Dec 15th, 2006 6:28 AM
Violence between rival Palestinian groups continued today, after the ruling Hamas organisation accused forces allied to Fatah of trying to assassinate the Palestinian prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh.
The attack yesterday on the prime minister's entourage as he crossed into Gaza from Egypt killed one of Mr Haniyeh's bodyguards and wounded his son, raising renewed fears of outright war between the organisations' supporters.
The prime minister is a member of Hamas, the radical Palestinian group that took power in a general election in March.
Today, angry Hamas officials blamed Mohammed Dahlan, a senior member of the more moderate Fatah group headed by the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, of being behind the attack.
"Mohammed Dahlan bears the direct responsibility for the assassination attempt which targeted the prime minister and he bears responsibility for the blood of the martyrs in the incident," a Hamas spokesman told a news conference in Gaza.
"The dirty hands which assassinated and wounded the bodyguards of the prime minister and attacked the prime minister's convoy will not escape punishment," he added.
But a Fatah spokesman said: "These accusations are not true, as long as no investigation to find out has been conducted." He called the accusation "a grave threat to Palestinian unity".
With tensions running high, Hamas and Fatah gunmen exchanged fire today on the streets of Gaza City and the West Bank city of Ramallah. Also in Ramallah, security forces loyal to Mr Abbas beat Hamas supporters with clubs at a rally. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Tensions between the groups have regularly turned violent in recent months despite lengthy talks to try to form a national unity government.

text: Show Hide image Politics 18 November 2010 British companies warn of 'oil crunch' Delays to deep water oil production could reduce global capacity by one million barrels of oil per d Sign up for our weekly email * British company bosses have warned of inflation in fuel prices within the next five years, which could adversely impact the economy, and urged the government to speed up the switch to alternative energy sources. The Industry Taskforce on Peak Oil & Energy Security, comprising a consortium of British businesses like transport company Stagecoach, the utility Scottish & Southern Energy, the retail specialist Kingfisher and Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Group, has warned of the country facing energy security problems. Delays to deep water oil production in the wake of the devastating Gulf of Mexico spill could reduce global capacity by one million barrels of oil per day, increasing the chances of an 'oil crunch' in the coming decade. "This will lead to much higher sustained prices which will in many ways rival the impact of the credit crunch of 2007 on UK growth, jobs and stability," Sir Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group, said. "The time to take out our insurance policies against such an outcome is now. We must do this to avoid the horrible shocks to the UK economy which will be mirrored in many other parts of the world," Sir Richard added. A barrel of oil is currently around $80 a barrel, well below the last peak of $145 two-and-a-half years ago. The group emphasised improved government support for renewable energy technology and energy efficiency measures to ward off the threat. Subscribe from just £1 per issue More

Responses of CO2, CH4 and N2O fluxes to livestock exclosure in an alpine steppe on the Tibetan Plateau, China
- First Online:

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-011-1105-3

- Wei, D., -Ri, X., Wang, Y. et al. Plant Soil (2012) 359: 45. doi:10.1007/s11104-011-1105-3
Most alpine steppe grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau have in recent decades come under increasing threat from overgrazing due to population growth and food demand. Livestock exclosure has been widely employed by China's state and local authorities as a management practice aimed at restoring and protecting these fragile ecosystems. However, its effects on greenhouse gas fluxes are unclear.
Therefore, measurements and analyses of key GHG fluxes (CO2, CH4 and N2O) were carried out in grazed and fenced areas of an alpine steppe grassland in the central Tibetan Plateau during the growing seasons of 2009 and 2010.
Results showed that: (1) For the grazed area, ecosystem respiration was 156.1 ± 19.6 and 92.7 ± 11.7 mg.m−2.h−1, soil CH4 flux was −63.4 ± 6.0 and −70.2 ± 10.4 μg.m−2.h−1, and soil N2O flux was 0.1 ± 0.9 and −0.5 ± 1.3 μg.m−2.h−1 during the growing seasons of 2009 and 2010, respectively. (2) For the fenced area, ecosystem respiration was 131.5 ± 14.3 and 114.3 ± 10.6 mg.m−2.h−1, the CH4 flux rate was −84.8 ± 7.3 and −82.7 ± 9.2 μg.m−2.h−1, and soil N2O flux was 0.7 ± 0.5 and −5.8 ± 2.8 μg.m−2.h−1 in 2009 and 2010, respectively. (3) CO2 emission was positively correlated with soil moisture and temperature, while CH4 uptake was negatively correlated with soil moisture. The correlation between N2O flux with soil temperature or moisture was not significant. (4) Livestock exclosure decreased the Q10 value of CO2 emission, and enhanced CH4 uptake by 17.8% and 33.8% in 2009 and 2010, respectively, while its effect on CO2 emission and N2O flux was not significant.
The lower Q10 value of CO2 emissions and higher CH4 consumption rate in the fenced area after 4 years of grazing exclusion imply that livestock exclosure might be a promising measure to reduce CO2 emission sensitivity and enhance CH4 uptake in alpine steppe grasslands.

|Projected Ranking
|Proj. Rnd.
11/27/2012 - 2012 ALL-PAC-12 HONORABLE MENTION: DL Will Perciak, Sr.,...has been selected All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention for the 2012 college football season. - Colorado football
11/18/2012 - DE Will Pericak has started every game in his career and holds the school record with 48 straight starts. He tied the most games ever played by a defensive player in school history when he became the fifth defender to play in 48 games.
10/02/2012 - Colorado star defensive lineman Will Pericak faces two opponents every Saturday: the opposing quarterback and diabetes. After every other series, he goes to the sideline for finger pricks to test his blood sugars. High-fructose energy drinks are on hand if he needs them. Pericak (pronounced PRE-check) was diagnosed at 15 when he was a freshman at Boulder High School, but his older brother was diagnosed much younger, ''so I kind of grew up with it throughout my youth, so I kind of knew what it was all about.'' Like many diabetics, Pericak, a senior who packs 285 pounds on his 6-foot-4 frame, uses a proper balance of diet, medication and exercise to control his disease, which he has come to view as more a blessing than a curse. ''Absolutely. I know it's definitely a challenge for me. But then again I'm more healthy because of it,'' Pericak said. ''It is a disease and it definitely has pros and cons, the pro being I know what I'm eating, I watch what I'm eating. I'm able to understand my body better. And that ends up helping me be able to play my best. If I get low in a game, it may cost us a huge play or something like that.'' Pericak said he's in better tune with his mind and body and more mindful of nutrition because of diabetes and the necessity to maintain proper blood sugar levels. - AP Sports
09/06/2012 - SCOUTING THE DEFENSE: At first glance, it appears Colorado's defense showed improvement by only giving up 22 points against Colorado State. Last year, the Buffs gave up more than that in 11 of 13 games. However, Colorado gave up only 14 points in a win over Colorado State last year, so this year's group started off worse than last year. There were some good signs, as Colorado allowed only 298 yards of total offense and held the Rams to 5-for-15 on third-down conversions. PLAYERS TO WATCH: DL Will Pericak -- The senior had four tackles, including one for loss, to go with a fumble recovery in the opener when he made his team-high 38th straight start. He also blocked an extra point, the third block of his career. He blocked a field goal in 2010 and an extra point last year. - The Sports Xchange
07/20/2012 - Top-five Colorado prospects for the 2013 NFL Draft: 4. DT Will Pericak...Pericak (pronounced pre-check) signed with Colorado as a highly regarded prep linebacker prospect and briefly was considered as a possible convert to tight end. Instead, he got bigger and stronger, quietly developing into one of the more underrated defensive tackles in the Pac-12. After redshirting in 2008, Pericak has started all 37 games since, earning honorable mention all-conference honors (Big 12 in 2010, Pac-12 in 2011) after each of the past two seasons despite less than eye-popping statistics (averaging 38 tackles, five tackles for loss and two sacks). He was the first player in school history to start every game as a freshman (true or redshirt). Pericak isn't an elite athlete but is country strong, showing the ability to knock opponents back onto their heels with good upper body strength and developing hand play -- traits that could serve him well as a rotational defensive tackle or 3-4 defensive end. While there is a lot to like about the rugged Pericak, scouts will want to do their homework on Pericak. While he subsequently determined by a jury to be not guilty of all charges, Pericak was arrested January 29 in a Boulder-area pub for allegedly lighting a fire in a metal bucket inside the establishment and refusing to leave the premises. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com

Recently, I've noticed a lot of my friend's making homemade baby food for their children. They argue that making your baby's food homemade gives you total control over what they are eating because what you cook is free of any additives.
If you're contemplating making your own baby foods, here are a few tips to get you started:
- Check out Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron. This manual/cookbook is packed with detailed information on homemade baby food, nutritional data, feeding schedules, cooking techniques, recipes, and more.
- Wholesome Baby Food is a website that offers lots of recipes and recommendations for making your own baby food.
- Use ice trays to save any left over baby food in the freezer in one ounce cubes, and make sure to use these cubes within two months.
- Invest in a cheap steaming tray. Steaming fruits and vegetables helps retain the nutrients, unlike boiling which can strip your foods of its nutrients.
- If your looking to splurge on a baby-food maker, check out the Beaba Babycook from Williams-Sonoma. However, a regular food processor or blender will also to the trick.

Basal Bolus Insulin Versus SSRI in Type 2 Diabetes Undergoing General Surgery (RABBIT 2-SX)
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
High blood glucose levels in surgical patients with diabetes are associated with increased risk of medical complications and death. Improved glucose control with insulin injections may improve clinical outcome and prevent some of the hospital complications. In patients who have undergone surgery, high blood glucose increases the risk of wound infection, kidney failure and death. It is not known; however, what is the best insulin regimen in patients who will undergo surgery. The use of repeated injections of regular insulin is commonly used for glucose control in hospitalized patients with diabetes. Recently, the combination of Lantus® and Apidra® insulins has been shown to improve glucose control with lower rate of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). We hypothesize that in patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to general surgery wards, treatment with once daily glargine (Lantus) plus supplemental glulisine insulin (Apidra®) will produce better glycemic control and a lower rate of hospital complications than treatment with regular insulin per sliding scale (SSRI). The present study aims to determine which insulin treatment is best for glucose control in hospitalized patients with diabetes. Glargine and glulisine insulins are approved for use in the treatment of patients with diabetes by the FDA.
Subjects included in the study will have type 2 diabetes and be admitted to Grady Memorial Hospital, Veterans Administration Medical Center, and Emory University Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia. A total of ~94 patients will be recruited at each institution.
A post-hoc cost analysis of hospitalization costs and charges of the Rabbit surgery trial will be completed in order to determine differences in hospitalization cost between basal bolus insulin and SSI regimen.

Recursion Limit & Symbolic Differentiation
I'm new to Mathemtica and I'm trying to differentiate a multi-variable
f(x,y,z). When doing so I get a recusion limit 256 reached message.
When examining my equations, I don't see recursion in the expressions.
It should be simple substitution of one expression into the other.
(Its just easier for me to write it that way).
How do I know if this is a valid message, and how do I know if my
expressions will actually be solved / simplified by Mathematica if I
increase the recursion limit?
I have 2GB RAM and Mathematica fills it, then the Kernel runs out of
memory and stops trying to solve the problem.

He is so cute! You are taking such wonderful photos of him. Hopefully your nine hour flight is at night so he'll sleep through most of it. But if he is old enough for that infant puff cereal, bring it. It will keep him busy. And nurse during takeoff and landing - it helps with the ear pressure.

How adorable!!! Your family in Singapore won't let him leave for sure. I didn't travel until my little one turned 2 years old (terrible 2, good timing!) Traveling with a baby might be easier as they sleep more often. Have a smooth and fun trip.

We flew to France with Jarvis when he was 10 months old. My must haves are: a sling (baby free hands), panadol (I gave a we sat down before take off and again before landing helps with the pain in their ears), and breast feeding (again as taking off and landing, if not breast than try a bottle)
So grown up already, I hate when they loose their fat rolls

To Create Housing for Homeless, Landlords Evict Paying Tenants
Desperate for shelter space, New York City has been paying landlords in low income communities much more for their apartments than they could get in the private market. The result? Landlords are pushing out paying tenants to make room for the homeless.
Melvina McMillan, a 40-year-old Flatbush woman, is one of those tenants now facing eviction.
The sticky traps in the kitchen of her three-bedroom apartment at 60 Clarkson Avenue are covered in dead roaches. The insects even make their way into her freezer. The whole building is dirty and in need of repair. The elevators smell like urine, and the trash rooms in the hall overflow with garbage. McMillan, who pays $700 a month from her pocket, is one of the last regular tenants left, and she's determined to stay in her apartment.
"We used to have like a lot of tenants. There's 83 apartments," she said, describing her six-story building. Now roughly a dozen neighbors are hanging on.
The city turns to private landlords when the regular shelter system fills up.
Currently, 2,500 apartments are being leased for shelter, an increase of 66% since 2011, according to Patrick Markee, senior policy analyst at the Coalition for the Homeless, an advocacy group. "And that really reflects two things," Markee said. "One, that family homelessness has risen so dramatically since the Bloomberg Administration ended all housing assistance for homeless families. And two, that the city has decided that the way it's going to manage this problem is just by opening more and more shelter capacity …. And that means doing more and more of these deals with landlords."
The city is obligated by court order to provider shelter for anyone seeking help - which means that when homelessness surges, the city must often bring on shelter capacity quickly. Over time it has used private apartments for shelter to varying degrees - and the practice has always been controversial. The city says that it doesn't tolerate intimidation of regular tenants by landlords and would investigate thoroughly should it become aware of any cases. "We simply are not going to allow anything to happen where tenants feel pushed out for our purposes," wrote Department of Homeless Services spokeswoman Heather Janik in an email response to questions from WNYC.
For the last year, the number of people in New York City's shelter system has hovered around a record 50,000 overall. Nearly half are children. The numbers of people in shelters have shot up since 2011, when state- and city-funded programs designed to help people move into permanent housing were eliminated.
So the demand for shelter is high - creating the curious phenomenon of the city paying private landlords such high prices for lousy housing that it's in the landlords' interest to push out market-rate tenants like Melvina McMillan. The city rate in its deals with these landlords is typically about $3,000 a month. A portion of that goes to pay for security and caseworkers; at 60 Clarkson Avenue, an organization called CAMBA is providing the latter. McMillan, upset by the arrangement, said it was good for everyone - except the people living at the building.
"CAMBA is gaining, the landlord, which is Barry Hers, is gaining, but guess what? The families in this building, they not gaining, and the families that's here paying they rent out they own pockets? We're not gaining; we're losing," McMillan said, her voice rising with frustration.
The building has 215 housing code violations. The more serious ones are for things like mold, water leaks, broken plaster and roach infestations. Tenants also complain that the building is chaotic and that bloody fights break out frequently. The city said a corrective action plan had been put in place for the building. CAMBA, a Brooklyn non-profit, declined to answer questions about the building, and when WNYC tried to contact the landlord, a person answering a phone number where others have reached Hers said it was not his number. An attorney for the landlord did not respond to a request for comment.
Charmaine Burkett and her 5 children are among the families that were placed by the city at 60 Clarkson after ending up homeless. Burkett is now McMillan's neighbor, and she said she understood the frustrations of the regular tenants.
"Yeah, it's kinda messed up," Burkett said. But she added that the situation does not make sense for families like hers, either.
"You could have a real apartment and pay half - not even half - of what they're paying here," she said. "So it's really sad. And then the conditions you have to live in, you know - so it's not good at all."
Burkett and her family have been living in the building at the city's expense for a year and a half. When there was housing assistance, it would take an average of eight months for a family to move out of the shelter system. But as of last fall, the average had jumped to about a year, according to city statistics. The longer stays mean that the city is spending more money overall. In fiscal year 2013, it cost more than $1 billion to run the homeless services system, up from $944 million in 2010. But at that time, the city was paying not just for shelter but for permanent housing assistance as well.
The pressure for more shelter is being felt across the city. Dr. Bola Omotosho, chair of Community Board 5, which includes Morris Heights and University Heights in the Bronx, said landlords are motivated by profit and see the demand for shelter space as an opportunity.
"That's one of the reasons why some tenants feel so threatened," Omotosho said. "They can easily be kicked out of their house so that a landlord can use it as a steady income from the city, which is guaranteed."
Meanwhile, on Clarkson Avenue in Flatbush, McMillan and her longtime neighbors are fighting to stay in their dilapidated apartments, mostly because they have no other place to go. "There's not much option, because rent is very high," said Earl King, a tenant of 40 years.
McMillan's Legal Aid attorney called the eviction case against her frivolous. When asked where she would go were she to lose her apartment, McMillan responded, "Who knows? I would be a statistic just like the rest of them. And for what?"
If she ends up on the street, she'd become part of the city's homeless population - eligible to be placed in an apartment like the one she lives in now, at a cost to taxpayers of $3,000 a month.

aFe or K&N for cold air intake
Looking to buy a cold air intake and seeing what is favored.
They both do the same, allow better air flow. Its boils down to looks and price tag. Save yourself over $100, and chk the classified section and go used. Tubing is usually in excellent shape, ull just hv to cleaned the filter. Then it's good as new
1 Attachment(s)
That's pretty solid advice. (Looking for a used one) I personally rock the Banks intake. But of the two that u mentioned based off of my research the aFe seems to be well developed. I know folks seem to like the airaid as well.
The AFE would be my choice. K&N gets a pass from a lot of people but their filters just dont filter well enough. Used oil analysis on engines that run K&N filters typically show way high silica content. I used to run them on everything. But not anymore. Actually I would prefer AEM if they make one.
My wife has the aFe on her '13. It's a very simple install which is a topic that is a very big gripe I have against the AirRaid.
There is a HUGE minus: The air temp sensor mounting in the aFe is very unstable and pretty much insulting. Air will get into the intake through the air temp sensor hole. This is bad for your engine and you'll know its happening when you hear a whooooooooosh at low rpms. We fixed this by using black RTV sealant around the air temp sensor base. We also bought a spare air temp sensor to use in the stock intake if that ever needs to be returned to the vehicle for warranty work.
I do recommend the aFe because its very simple but take care with the air temp sensor.
You might consider the Banks but if you are looking for sound then understand the Banks has a resonance chamber as well as a boxed-in air filter. Both of these things greatly reduce sound. Since the only reason to get an intake is for sound - there are very little or no performance gains - you might be disappointed.

Psychology: The truth about intimacy in relationships
March 07, 2014 , 12:32 PM by Steve Martin
This week Damien Adler went through some of the research into relationships where there is little or no intimacy.
According to the figures 15-20% of couples have sex less than ten times a year, with 2% reporting no sexual contact over a twelve month period.
Damien Adler is on the Morning Show every second Friday from 9.45am.
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
Very interesting. I agree that a lot of emphasis is placed on sex and the frequency at which it occurs. But I am a little confused with the age issue. Since the average man and woman's sex drive diminishes at different stages, what is the solution? Ultimately it seems that someone will always be unsatisfied and there is no way around the issue.

|Year released:
Forethought Inc.
Forethought Inc.
PowerPoint version 1.0 for Macintosh. This is the PowerPoint version before it was bought up by Microsoft the same year. Originally developed for the Macintosh 512k and Macintosh Plus by Forethought. Microsoft made PowerPoint into the most sold program for presentations and developed it also for their own operating system, Windows.
PowerPoint 1.0 comes on two disks. Disk 1 contains the program and Disk 2 contains several examples of PowerPoint presentations.Compatibility
Only in black and white
Interesting story here
See the early history of PowerPoint here at the site of one of the original developers.
Forethought released Powerpoint in 1987, and within a few months, Microsoft bought the rights. I just picked up a copy of the version one docs from later 1987. They appear to be Forethought materials repurposed by Microsoft. The box looks like the Forethought box with just an MS sticker slapped on the cover. The books have Microsoft copyright info on the copyright pages.
More to the point, the first disk here differs from what's described in the manual. The manual makes a big deal of a custom system file the includes fonts for use with PowerPoint. The first disk image here doesn't have that file.
Anybody with original media, please upload.
Also, if anyone has a copy of version one media from after the MS acquisition (which won't have any references to Forethought on the splash screen or about screens), please upload.
Pretty important historical app here.
Wish the presentations it creates were still readable by modern versions of Powerpoint—now that would be cool!

Month of African-American Comics – Nowhere Man Books 1-3
All this month I'll be reviewing different comic books by African-American creators, based on submissions from the actual creators of the comic books themselves. A quick note – since this month is so relatively short, I'll be featuring an extra comic every week, for a total of 32 comics spotlighted! Here is a list of all the comics spotlighted so far!
Today we take a look at the first three books of Nowhere Man: You Don't Know Jack, written and drawn by Jerome Walford, from Forward Comix.
Nowhere Man is about a police detective named Jack Maguire who happens to share his body with a super-powered agent named Zade. Due to sharing a body with Zade, Jack has super powers, but the more he uses the powers, the easier it is for Zade to take control of their shared body.
As you might imagine, it is not necessarily a situation that sits well with Jack…
The problem also comes when Jack falls asleep…
Here's Zade in action from Book Three…
As you can see, Walford's artwork is very accomplished. He has a great sense of design, as he lays the pages out in a very dynamic fashion. He often makes expert use out of negative space. It's a really visually striking comic book series. I'm really surprised that one of the Big Two comic book companies hasn't given Walford a shot – his style like it would lend itself very well to a New 52 series.
The story is interesting, as well, as Walford smartly makes Maguire's current case one that looks like it will cross between his regular life and Zade's life. And as you can see above, Zade's life is one of superpowers and super gadgets, so when you throw "normal" police into the middle of stuff like that, it gets really crazy really fast and Maguire is soon forced to make some very uncomfortable choices.
The person making these choices weigh upon Maguire is his partner and lover, Rose Yancey, whose uncle is Maguire's Captain (and who seems to have it out for Maguire). Maguire tells the reader, via narration, that he does not love Rose, but it seems like it is case where he is trying to tell himself that more than anything. When push comes to shove, does she mean more to him than he is willing to admit? The Jack/Rose (wait, isn't that the names of the main characters in Titanic? That's weird. Please tell me that wasn't intentional, Jerome! Please!) relationship is likely the highlight of the book for me. Especially in Book Three, where Rose makes a difficult choice for Jack, as well. Rough stuff.
Anyhow, this is an interesting police thriller with an intriguing sci-fi edge and the art is, as you can see, powerful. That's a good combo!

Modified 2005 ST P0420
Ok, so I fixed the last code that I had (P2004) with new vacuum lines.
Now, I am trying to get a NJ inspection (never move to NJ if you have a modified car unless its more than 25 years old).
I had to detune the car to the stock tune because none of the electronic monitoring systems would show up as "READY" for the inspectors while it was running on aftermarket tune. So now, it runs, but I have CAI, 2.5" exhaust and Crane stage 1 cams so I am most likely incredibly lean. Once all the systems reset, the code P0420 came up. It basically means that the cat isn't working properly.
So, my plan is to go back to stock cams and see if the code goes away.
Two questions:
1. Has anyone experienced this or a similar scenario?
2. If the code does not go away once I replace the cams, is it still possible that I have a bad downstream O2 sensor?
I have already looked all over the internet for information and found what I needed. I am not looking for info, but more for anyone's personal experiences and tips/tricks to get this fixed without having to drop several hundred dollars for a new exhaust manifold.
Once I get the car fixed and inspected it is going up for sale, along with several of the bitchin aftermarket parts I have for it. I needs me a truck!
Thanks for looking and for any advice.

I left California for Montana thirty-five years ago. I am 69 and find that sculling is just too difficult now with three botched shoulder operations. I want to pass on the scull boat that I built to my son who lives in San Francisco. He is dubious that sculling is a possibility there 35 years later. (More of a storage problem I think.) I had great sculling in the seventies. At the risk of being called a "turd-floating, information seeking, sucking leech, I pose the following questions anyway:
Do scullers still have access to Clifton Court Forebay? (Below Stockton)
Is sculling or duck hunting still allowed on Orville's Thermalito Afterbay?
Is sculling or duck hunting still allowed on Tomales Bay?
Now, here is the part that will have some forum users spewing obscenities.
I used to scull up on the Butte Sink on some bypass when it flooded, but it was too long ago to remember. Is there any public water in the upper Sacramento area that I am overlooking for sculling?
I never sculled on Grizzly Bay. Is there public access? Well, if you are a sculler, you maybe could understand why I would like to pass on a scull boat that I built myself. I owned four scull boats in my life. The best one was a one-man boat from Humboldt Bay. My boat is a two-man boat, and I think it is almost as good. I want to come down and take my son out before I give up and sell it. He killed his first mallard and goose in this boat. Anyway, any guidance will be appreciated, and remember, a sculler out on the open water pushes birds to your blind!
PS- I sculled on the bay out of Petaluma a couple of times, but I was never very successful. I damned near got run over by a big boat in the fog. Another time I lost count of time and found myself struggling in mud on an out-going tide. Some scullers used to do fairly well out there, however.

Welcome to the Mason County Sportsman's Association
The July 5, 2017, MCSA General Meeting will be at the range, just like the old days! As part of the meeting, we will do a walking tour of the proposed Indoor Range Expansion. Don't miss it if you've got questions about this new project we are considering!
We are a club that supports the enjoyment of firearms and friendly competition, as well as training and educational opportunities for basic firearm safety, hunter's safety and so much more! We are a friendly group and we look forward to meeting you. Non-members are always welcome to come to one of our meetings or events to meet everybody and decide if you would like to join us. Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month, unless that Wednesday falls on a holiday, in which case it will be on the following Wednesday.
Our History
Originally formed as the Shelton Rifle and Pistol Club in 1947, application for incorporation was submitted to the Washington Secretary of State's office and was approved. The Mason county area served by the club was and still is rural with forest products and the seafood industry as the major employers.
Initially club efforts were focused on providing a safe firearms range away from the general public yet available for the use of the community including the US Army, reserve organizations, sportsmen, and later, local law enforcement. Simpson Lumber Company provided the initial property where club members developed, equipped, and, maintained an outdoor range until 2008.
In 1973, through donations and member provided labor, the club built the present meeting room and indoor range located at 521 W. Business Park Rd. near Shelton, in Mason County Washington, on land leased from the Port of Shelton. The club facilities are maintained through club generated fees, membership dues, and volunteer support.
Current membership is approximately 230.
In 2008 the organization changed its name to Mason County Sportsman's Association. In September 2009 we incorporated as a 501[c](3) as a public charitable giving organization as determined by the Internal Revenue Service. This gives the organization an opportunity to participate in the community and give something back.
Stewardship in the Community
- Airgun booth - Fundraising vehicle that supports the community and veterans groups. Installed at Oysterfest in Shelton and Shrimpfest in Brinnon.

New Type of Mosquito Carrying a New Virus Found in Topeka, Kansas
We despise them and I'm still not sure why Noah was asked to collect "two of everything." Pretty sure we'd all have been fine without the pesky Mosquito but then the fish and snakes would be upset I guess.
Like it wasn't bad enough to have a new type of mosquito but it looks like this one comes with it's very own virus/disease.
How nice!
Although Federal health officials are on record by saying the only "local" case in the U.S. was in Puerto Rico, but, there have been at least 27 confirmed travel-related cases in Florida and seven other states.
This new virus is called "Chikungunya," and has spread quickly throughout the Caribbean since December and now the "skeeters" have been spotted in neighboring Topeka, Kansas.
Those who develop symptoms after traveling to the Caribbean or other areas where chikungunya is found, such as Africa, Southeast Asia and southern Europe, should contact a physician. There are no antiviral medicines to treat chikungunya, so physicians typically recommend rest, increased fluid intake and medications to relieve pain and fever – Kansas state epidemiologist Charles Hunt
The Pan American Health Organization reports 166,000 suspected and 4,600 confirmed cases of chikungunya in the Caribbean as of mid-June.
The disease isn't normally fatal said health official and symptoms can include muscle/joint pain, rashes, fever, and headaches.
