The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), is a research university located in San Francisco, California and part of the University of California system. The university is entirely dedicated to health sciences and is a major center of medical and biological research and teaching, and is ranked as one of the top universities in the biomedical field in the country and around the world.[7][8][9][10][11][12] It was founded as Toland Medical College in 1864, and in 1873 it became affiliated with the University of California.
The UCSF School of Medicine is one of the most selective medical schools in the United States based on average MCAT score, GPA, and acceptance rate. In 2015, 7,393 people applied and 437 were interviewed for 149 positions in the entering class.[13] UCSF is ranked 3rd among research-oriented medical schools in the United States and ranked 3rd for primary care by U.S. News and World Report, making it the only medical school to achieve a top-5 ranking in both categories.[14] UCSF is currently ranked 3rd among medical schools in the world by the Academic Ranking of World Universities (Clinical Medicine, 2016).[15]
The UCSF School of Medicine is affiliated with UCSF Medical Center, the nation's 8th-ranked hospital according to U.S. News & World Report.[16] In 2014, a national evaluation of residency programs named UCSF and the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine the top two physician training institutions in the United States.[17]

UCSF traces its history to Hugh H. Toland, a South Carolina surgeon who found great success and wealth after moving to San Francisco in 1852.[18] A previous school, the Cooper Medical College of the University of Pacific (founded 1858), entered a period of uncertainty in 1862 when its founder, Elias Samuel Cooper, died.[19] In 1864, Toland founded a new medical school, Toland Medical College, and the faculty of Cooper Medical College chose to suspend operations and join the new school.[19]
The University of California was founded in 1868, and by 1870 Toland Medical School began negotiating an affiliation with the new public university.[20] Meanwhile, some faculty of Toland Medical School elected to reopen the Medical Department of the University of the Pacific, which would later become Stanford University School of Medicine.[21] Negotiations between the Toland and the UC were complicated by Toland's demand that the medical school continue to bear his name, which he finally conceded.[20] In March 1873, the trustees of Toland Medical College transferred it to the Regents of the University of California, and it became "The Medical Department of the University of California."[20]
The school's first female student, Lucy Wanzer, graduated in 1876, after having to appeal to the UC Board of Regents to gain admission in 1873.[22][23]
UCSF operates four major campus sites within the city of San Francisco and one in Fresno, California, as well as numerous other minor sites scattered through San Francisco and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Parnassus serves as the main campus and includes numerous research labs, the 600-bed UCSF Medical Center, Langley Porter Psychiatric Institute, the UCSF Library, University of California, San Francisco Archives and Special Collections, and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital San Francisco. The Schools of Dentistry, Pharmacy, Medicine, Nursing, and the Biomedical Sciences graduate program are also located at Parnassus. It also houses the UCSF neurology outpatient practice that serves as a referral center of most of northern California and Reno, Nevada.
UCSF's Beckman Vision Center is also located at the Parnassus campus. It is a center for the diagnosis, treatment and research of all areas of eye care, including vision correction surgery.
Also located on the Parnassus campus is the UCSF Fetal Treatment Center, multidisciplinary care center dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term follow-up of fetal birth defects.
Mission Bay[edit]
UCSF's Mission Bay Campus, also located in San Francisco, is the largest ongoing biomedical construction project in the world.[24] The 43-acre (17 ha) Mission Bay campus, opened in 2003 with construction still ongoing, contains additional research space and facilities to foster biotechnology and life sciences companies. It will double the size of UCSF's research enterprise over the next 10 years. The biotechnology company Genentech contributed $50 million toward construction of a building as part of a settlement regarding alleged theft of UCSF technology several decades earlier.[25] Also located on the Mission Bay campus, the Arthur and Toni Rembe Rock Hall was designed by César Pelli and opened in February 2004. The building is named in honor of Arthur Rock and his wife, who made a $25 million gift to the university.[26] Byers Hall serves as the headquarters for the California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences (QB3), a cooperative effort between the UC campuses at San Francisco, Berkeley, and Santa Cruz. The building is named after venture capitalist Brook Byers, co-chair of UCSF's capital campaign that concluded in 2005 and raised over $1.6 billion.[27] Additionally, the William J. Rutter Center, designed along with the adjacent 600-space parking structure by Ricardo Legorreta, opened in October 2005 and contains a fitness and recreation center, swimming pools, student services, and conference facilities. The building is named in honor of William J. Rutter, former Chairman of the university's Department of Biochemistry & Biophysics and co-founder of Chiron Corporation.[28] A housing complex for 750 students and postdoctoral fellows and an 800-space parking garage also opened in late 2005. And a fourth research building, designed by Rafael Viñoly and named the Helen Diller Family Cancer Research Building, opened in June 2009. Two additional research buildings designated for neuroscience and cardiovascular research are currently in the planning and design phase.[29] A new specialty hospital focused on women, children, and cancer on the Mission Bay campus opened in February 2015.[30]
Other centers, institutes, and programs[edit]
The Mount Zion campus contains UCSF's NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, its Women's Health Center, the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine and outpatient resources. The San Francisco General Hospital campus cares for the indigent population of San Francisco and contains San Francisco's only Level I trauma center.[31][32] The hospital itself is owned and operated by the city of San Francisco, but many of its doctors carry UCSF affiliation and maintain research laboratories at the hospital campus. The earliest cases of HIV/AIDS were discovered at SF General Hospital in the 1980s.[33] To this day SF General Hospital has one of the world's leading HIV/AIDS treatment and research centers.[34][35]
UCSF is also affiliated with the San Francisco VA Hospital and the J. David Gladstone Institutes, a private biomedical research entity that has recently moved to a new building adjacent to UCSF's Mission Bay campus. They are also affiliated with UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland (formerly Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland). The headquarters of the new California Institute for Regenerative Medicine are also located nearby in the Mission Bay neighborhood.
UCSF has its own police department, which serves its two major campuses as well as all satellite sites within the city and South San Francisco.
Health policy[edit]
Among the related Institutes that are part of UCSF is the Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies, founded in 1972 by Philip Randolph Lee.[36][37]
UCSF cooperates with the Hastings College of Law, a separate University of California institution located in San Francisco. This including the formation of the UCSF/Hastings Consortium on Law, Science, and Health Policy.[38] The program offers an LLM and MSL Degree program for health and science professionals. The Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies is a partner in this consortium.
UCSF is home to the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library (LTDL), a digital library of previously secret internal tobacco industry documents. The LTDL contains more than 11 million documents created by major tobacco companies related to their advertising, manufacturing, marketing, sales, and scientific research activities.
University of California, San Francisco is unique among University of California campuses in that it performs only biomedical and patient-centered research in its Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Dentistry, and the Graduate Division, and their hundreds of associated laboratories. The university is known for innovation in medical research, public service, and patient care. UCSF's faculty includes five Nobel Prize winners, 31 members of the National Academy of Sciences, 69 members of the Institute of Medicine, and 30 members of the Academy of Arts and Sciences. UCSF confers a number of degrees, including Master of Science, Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Pharmacy, Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Dental Surgery, and Doctor of Physical Therapy in a variety of fields.
Largest Single Donation to a Public University[edit]
In January 2017, UCSF announced a $500 million gift from the Helen Diller Foundation to increase financial aid for faculty and students, invest in cutting-edge research projects and expand scholarships for dental, medical, nursing and pharmacy students. This gift is tied with Nike Inc. co-founder Phil Knight for the largest single donation ever to a public university.[39]

In 2005, UCSF agreed to pay $92,500 in fines in a settlement between the University and the USDA for Animal Welfare Act (AWA) violations in campus laboratories. UCSF was cited for 59 AWA violations including for failure to treat a monkey who was visibly sick and for failing to provide painkillers to animals after invasive surgeries.[56]
According to a 2012 investigation by the San Francisco Chronicle, in the years following the University's settlement "incidents of animal neglect or mistreatment have persisted." In their investigation, the Chronicle claims "Mice at UCSF had toes removed without anesthesia. Several animals, including birds and a squirrel monkey, received little or no pain medication after surgical procedures." They also claim mice and primates went for long periods without food or water and that "a rhesus monkey remained in a brain study despite chronic and painful complications."[57]
In response to the investigation, the University said it "takes very seriously the care and use of the animals it studies" and that "every proposed study undergoes rigorous review." [58]
Student Life[edit]
There are more than 180 registered campus organizations at UCSF. These groups and clubs cover a broad range of interests, including educational, social, cultural, artistic, recreational, political and spiritual.Every year, these organizations sponsor mote than 1,200 activities and events.[59]
The student government at UCSF consists of the Graduate and Professional Student Association (GPSA), which serves the collective interests of graduate and professional students. It aims at improving student life on a university and system-wide level with dialogue, action, and activities between students, faculty, and staff. It focuses on disucssinf University policy, informing constituents, advocating student interests, fostering relationships between academic programs, stranghtening connections to better support students, and initiating actions and proposals, [60]
Synapse is the student newspaper at UCSF. It was founded in 1957, and since 1997 the newspaper has been both in print and online. In the fall 2015 the newspaper rebranded from Synapse: The UCSF Newspaper to Synapse: UCSF Student Voices.[61] The mission of Synapse is to serve as the forum of the campus community, and it covers campus news and events, entertainment, and restaurant reviews, and a wide-range of feature stories, editorials and weekly columns, to the entire UCSF community. The newspaper focuses heavily on science and health, but it also covers arts, national news, and opinion articles. [62] . [63]
UCSF students are eligible to become University of California student regent, a position on the University of California Board of Regents created by a 1974 California ballot proposition to represent University of California students on the university system's governing board. Student regents serve an approximately one-year term as 'student regent-designate', followed by a one-year term as a full voting member of the Regents. Virtually any UC student in good academic standing may apply to be student regent. Traditionally, the position alternates between undergraduate and graduate students as well as between the various UC campuses.

Had to wait in the lobby on our only sunny day there to continually dispute their tries at transferring us to another hotel despite our wishes to stay with this hotel, the hotel we booked 11 days prior and called three hours before to confirm that all was ready. We called three hours in advance only because we had read reviews online that the hotel chain called Cinnamon Hotels which Chaaya Tranz Hikkaduwa is a part of, often over books their locations and tries to excitedly "upgrade" guests to a different hotel, despite their wishes. After continual disputes making our long start at the hotel extremely unpleasant, especially after a long day of travelling, we were finally given a room. After that point, we enjoyed our stay, the beautiful views, the pleasant staff, and beachside.
After taking a beach walk over the Hikkaduwa Beach, Suite Lanka has the best beach front setup: clean, open, romantic, and well serviced. We took the deluxe room and had our own terrace overlooking the Indian Ocean. The staff was generally welcoming. The food was excellent and the chef is very flexible to fulfill all tastes. location is close to city yet away from noise and beach boys. We had a major conflict with the manager of the hotel as he wanted to add taxes (70$) after agreeing that the price was inclusive. you have to be very clear on the fact that they can change their word. at the end he appologiezed and gave us a bag of tea. the staff english was not the best. don't expect too much from sri lanka, just enjoy the experience
Everything.... location...food and staff were all brilliant
The hotel is situated beside the busy road from Colombo to Galle...However once you enter the hotel its calm & serene inside.There is a nice dining area near the beach..the food from hotel is a bit overpriced...There are also lots of nearby restaurants..like the ranjiths sea side dining...Beware of mosquitoes...mosquito nets are provided in the room...the manager was helpful in arranging a packed breakfast as we had to leave to Mirissa for a early morning Whale watching...There is a small pool inside..wifi is available though signal strength is less..there is no intercom..but never mind the reception is nearby...

Do you know Skye Cassidy?
16/07/2012 , 3:17 PM by NickGerber
24 years ago a special exhbition was organised by a Franco-Australian cultural organisation which featured Hunter Valley people.
It included a haunting photo of a young Merewether surfer and a poem penned by Newcastle writer, Paul Kavanagh, based on a conversation with that young woman, whose name is Skye Cassidy. (Pictured right)
But where is Skye Cassidy today? Local resident Marie Ramsland has been trying to find out for a number of years. She spoke to Gerry Collins, to put the call out to public to see if anyone recogises the photo and to tell the incredible story behind the photo.
Listen to the full interview below
Fully Tubed
Summer every day, spring and autumn four times a week or more
In winter very little because the surf gets humungous
I can go surfing in about up to six foot and not real messy
If it gets messy six foot never
It's not really the waves so much it's like paddling out
Because I get pushed back and upside down and it's pointless
I just get wiped out again
Apart from how bad that is you get caught
And you just get worked and worked and worked
Ergh I'm dead and I'm packing shit and i really want to die.
Up at Merewether we get tubes sometimes it just depends
On where the banks are moving what tide it is and how the wind's blowing.
I've never made it when i got fully tubed I've just been pounded
But i don't care because it's fun while you're in there.
We don't have very thick lips around here
Like there's not that much water coming over and you can see through it
and if you look at the shore it's all kinds of green and distorted
it looks so weird and you go urgh
and looking at the clubhouse that's going glg glg
I just let myself go and enjoy it
And if you really get done that's because they're so high
They really go straight down on you
It's not like being hit by the lip you're being hit by the roof
And if you're inside you're upside down
And your leg rope goes around your neck and you go agh
It's horrible completely horrible.
But yes summer every day, spring and autumn four times a week or more.

Transparency in government promotes accountability. A transparent and accountable government is able to provide citizens with information on what the government is doing and how it affects the local community. John understands the importance of accountability and transparency in government and will strive to keep communication lines between Tuscaloosa County citizens and the local government open and available, especially when the "people's House is doing the people's business."

I guess this is a type of fiberboard?
Hi all,
Been a long-time lurker - this is a great forum. But, I decided to register as I've come across something in my house (built in the 1940's) that I'm not sure of, and don't really want to mess with it unless I know I can (or it's safe). I have no idea what types of things can contain asbestos, so I'm treading lightly.
There is a sun room, which looks like was added on after the house was built, that has very thin wood paneling. We started to take off the paneling, only to find this soft type of fiberboard underneath. I've seen some pictures online of various types, but would like some opinions of pictures I took of what is in my home:
Now, I took these in one of the bedrooms - we started to take off wood trim around the closet, and as you can see in the 3rd picture, there is drywall over this same fiberboard, which is then attached to a stud.
So, can I go about just ripping this stuff down, or should I be worried/cautious? As I said, I did take a look online and saw many examples which appear similar, however as I don't know the age of the fiberboard (it's not out of the question that this closet, just like the sun room, were built after the house was originally constructed).
Thanks for looking.

Works well! But it could be a little deeper for guns with taller scopes. So I gave it 4 stars. It is handy though so I think I'm going to buy another for the passenger side just for the stufff rolling around in my pickup.

Honda Debuts DIY Car Building Kit For April Fools Day
"Fit Kit" is a spot-on parody of maker culture.
In advance of the launch of the 2015 Honda Fit, the automaker previewed an innovative way for buyers to take delivery and create their own Honda Fit. "Fit Kit" is an assemble-at-home option which allows buyers to build or in this case craft their own Fit from the 200,000 individual parts Honda will deliver by truck and drone.
"We read comments every day on enthusiast forums suggesting they could build a better car themselves, so we decided to take it a step further and let people actually build one," said Kuruma Tsukuru, global manager of the new at-home assembly project for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "Young people around the world are making their own handmade belts, coasters and tie racks, why not their own Fit? The next generation is ripe for this personalized and cost-saving option."
The video shows a young maker couple explain the appeal of the program and follows them as they take delivery of their own Fit Kit. It's funny and clearly the agency behind it watch a lot of Portlandia or are based in Williamsburg.
The irony though is Honda used to be the go to brand for car customizing in the 90's. When the import craze took off in the US, Civics, Accords and the Acura Integra were the cars to fit with nicer wheels, crazy stereo systems, engine and suspension mods and custom paint jobs. The base cars were affordable and served as a solid platform for a wide spectrum of customizing. The trend waned and Honda in recent years have been lacking excitement in their product line. While the Fit Kit is meant not to be serious, in a way Honda could benefit from listening to the message.

Hello! Seems I didn't see this sub forum for a while, so here goes. I started making star wars props and costumes when I was in high school and over the last 12 or 13 years has expanded into all sorts of interests, including batman, star trek, lord of the rings, and pirates of the carribean. Pretty much any cool costumes I like! Nothing really great quality, but I have alot of fun. I've never made hard armor before, and after stumbling upon the dented helmet while searching for iron man pep files, I've become even more excited to get going on it! I've already learned a ton, and I hope to one day be as much a contributor to the hobby as all of you. Thanks!
-Zach (JediJayne)


text: That is very true op(never witnessed a trial firsthand so I don't know what questions call for yes or no answers). I was just always told to word things in that light. Back to the subject, if I would be able to run out the door, I would to avoid the legal headache. If when I was told to back up, ended up deeper in the store, I'd get behind an isle, discretely draw and check my backdrop. If its clear and the bg is still waving the gun in the clerks face I'd squeeze off a couple of rounds at center mass because I would be in fear for my life at that moment. But like GetSmith stated above, you won't know what you'd do until the time comes. It's always good to keep these scenarios fresh in your mind though!

1 When I buy shoes or boots from the high street, I always buy cushioned insoles to go inside – this gives them the comfort a designer shoe would have. High-street shoes can have a cheap plastic/manmade insole, which makes your feet sweat, and the insole can start to peel up, whereas a leather insole can prevent this happening.
2 H&M is the place to head for your key accessories – we love the rope and wooden bead statement necklaces (£14.99) and the turquoise cocktail ring in a gold setting (£3.99). For high summer, look out for the straw-effect multicolured ethnic bangles, £3.99 each.
3 Marc Jacobs's store in London has aff ordable accessories such as Welly boots, necklaces and T-shirts, starting from £15 – good value for if you want to buy a designer gift.

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Overnight low-temperature treatment reduces photosynthesis in chilling-sensitive species, such as tomato and cucumber, by as much as 60%. One effect of this treatment is to stall the endogenous rhythm controlling transcription of certain nuclear encoded genes causing the synthesis of the corresponding transcripts and proteins to be temporally mistimed when the plant is rewarmed. It is likely that mistiming the synthesis of proteins involved in the regulation of photosynthesis underlies the chilling sensitivity of photosynthesis in these plant species. We have shown that the activity of sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS), a key enzyme controlling the sucrose biosynthetic pathway, has both a diurnal and circadian rhythm in tomato, and that these rhythms are delayed by chilling treatments. We have further demonstrated that the SPS protein level does not vary and is unaffected by short term low temperature episodes that cause shifts in pattern of SPS activity. Using specific kinase and phosphatase inhibitors we have shown that the daily pattern of SPS activity is the result of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of the protein. The sensitivity of the pattern in SPS activity to specific inhibitors of transcription and translation revealed expression of the gene coding for SPS phosphatase is responsible for the diurnal and circadian rhythm in SPS activity.

View mapPenang, Butterworth intro. A major transit route from Thailand to the north and Penang Island to the west, Penang's Butterworth is a mostly industrial town with a handful of attractions worth visiting before catching the next train or bus out. The Bird Park is the largest of its kind in the country, with a kaleidoscope of species that will thrill children. Visitors can feed the birds and stand inside a huge aviary. The Temple of the Ninth Emperor God is among the most stunning Chinese temples in the wider region. Although it only dates back to 2000, it took about 50 specialists from the Chinese mainland to build it and the care and level of attention shows. Butterworth is superbly located in terms of travel around the region given that it has direct train connections to Bangkok, George Town, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Butterworth hotels are mostly well placed on or near the seafront, close to the Penang Bridge.

Stocks Finish with Sharp Losses
Stocks ended with sharp losses Thursday amid rising investor jitters about the continuing surge in oil prices. Trading volume was light in anticipation of Friday's employment report.
The Dow Jones industrial average finished lower by 163.48 points, or 1.61%, to 9,963.03. The broader Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 17.93 points, or 1.63%, to 1,080.7. The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite dropped 33.43 points, or 1.8%, to 1,821.63.
Blue-chips were negative across the board, with the exception of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ ).
Worries about supply pushed crude oil prices up $1.58 to a 21-year closing high of $44.41 per barrel in Nymex trading. The latest surge came as Russia's Justice Ministry revoked permission for major oil concern Yukos to use its bank accounts to finance daily operations and pay transport fees to ensure oil exports.
"The relationship between oil and equities has been fierce in the last few weeks and this is a factor that might come into play again on Friday," says Paul Cherney, chief market analyst for Standard & Poor's.
Investors were also unnerved by the latest terrorism headlines. According to media reports, two men with links to a terrorist group were arrested in Albany, N.Y.
Retailers stumbled Thursday as chains reported a mixed bag of comparable store sales for the month of July. Investors are also nervous that high oil prices will cut into spending as we head into the colder months. Among the merchants moving lower on soft July sales: Gap (GPS ), AnnTaylor (ANN ), and Urban Outfitters (URBN ).
However, teen retailers American Eagle (AEOS ), Aeropostale (ARO ), and Pacific Sunwear (PSUN ) bucked the trend to move higher.
Discounters Wal-Mart (WMT ) and Target (TGT ) announced low single-digit comparable store sales for July.
"We continue to see rough waters ahead for retailers in the second half," writes Bernstein analyst Emme Kozloff. Sales growth comparisons get tougher in August, Kozloff notes, citing high energy prices as a factor.
While rising oil and gasoline prices have been a cloud over investors, U.S. energy companies like ConocoPhillips (COP ) and Amerada Hess (AHC ) have benefited. Both companies reported strong results Wednesday.
In other earnings news, Sara Lee (SLE ) posted a 20% increase in second-quarter profit, but guided analysts lower on earnings for the current quarter.
Drugmaker Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY ) will pay $150 million to settle civil fraud charges, a record-sized settlement for any U.S. corporation.
The latest update on initial U.S. jobless claims showed a fall of 11,000 last week. Initial jobless claims dropped to 336,000 in the week ended July 31 from a revised 347,000 in the prior week. The drop was slightly larger than predicted and was another promising sign for the labor market.
Investors Friday morning will digest the July employment report. Economists on average expect 243,000 new jobs to be added on the month. The unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at 5.6%. The report is due at 8:30 a.m. ET.
No major earnings updates are due Friday.
Treasury Market
U.S. Treasuries surged higher in a seventh straight session of gains amid rising oil prices and speculation that Friday's update on July jobs may fall short of expectations. Yields dipped once again, with the 10-year note finishing around 4.40%.
The Treasury Dept. will sell a smaller than expected $51 billion in debt at its quarterly refunding next week, reports Informa Global Markets. Of that amount, $22 billion will be raised with the sale of 3-year notes Monday, followed by $15 billion in 5-year notes Wednesday and $14 billion in 10-year notes on Thursday.
World Markets
European stock markets finished higher despite nagging worries about oil prices. A dip overnight in crude oil from record highs helped buoy investors. London's Financial Times-Stock Exchange 100 index added 5.3 points, or 0.12%, to 4,413.4. In Paris, the CAC 40 rose 15.4 points, or 0.43%, to 3,622.98. Germany's DAX index climbed 5.59 points, or 0.14%, at 3,829.03.
Asian stock markets advanced. Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 50.87 points, or 0.46%, to 11,060.89, as investors scooped up beaten-down tech stocks. Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index added 211.6 points, or 1.72%, 12,491.92.

My (new, el cheapo) weed eater starts OK amd runs OK provided I keep it partially choked. Despite lots of experience with these things, I went back and re-read the instructions, following them to the letter.
I do think I put too much cycle oil in the gas, though (couldn't see exactly how much gas was in my container).
Would this oil overdose cause the above condition?

Utah Concealed Weapons Permit | Concealed Carry in UT | ASDI - ASDI 2010 First Annual Halloween Pumpkin Shoot
The above video was from The Armed Self Defense Institute's "First Anual Pumkin Shoot". This year we just blew up pumkins and had fun since it is October. Next year though it will be an event that everyone will be invited to. Next year we are going to invite everyone and make it a charitable event. We are going to have fun competions with awards for things like "least pumpkin left after one shot" or "Pumpkin chunk thrown far" and stuff like that. As for the charity we would have shades up and cold drinks for sale with proceeds going to a charity. Lots of range saftey officers would be present to keep the range very safe.
Enjoy the video but also any suggestion for next year's pumpkin shoot would be great. Also does this sound like an event that people would be interested in attending?

The entire list
Kocaeli TV: September 18th, 2009
Adnan Oktar: The whole world is now rotating around the Mahdi. Look, the system of the Mahdi lies at the root of the Iran-Iraq war. The reason behind Iraq's occupation is again Hazrat Mahdi (as). Iraq was occupied to prevent the emergence of the Mahdi. Today they are openly talking about this. They are not hiding it. But it is no use; they can't stop the Mahdi. Their scholars are waiting for a different Mahdi. They think that they can easily spot the Mahdi but the Mahdi can't be easily noticed. They can't stop the Mahdi. It is not in his destiny so you can't kill him before his time. But you can imprison him, slander him, oppress him, set up plots against him or try to assassinate him but you can't stop him: This is the thing about Mahdi (as).
March 25th, 2011: A9 TV and Kackar TV
Adnan Oktar: This is a miracle: satan is now trying to prevent the system of the Mahdi using all of his armies. He is provoking people. Most people don't know, but they cannot stop the system of the Mahdi.
August 7th, 2012: A9 TV
Adnan Oktar: The devil and the system of the anti-christ are working together trying to prevent the Islamic Union by using some Muslims whom we know to be religious. They are persistently striving for the Great Middle East Project laid down by America. THE THING WITH THE GREAT MIDDLE EAST PROJECT IS THAT AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGISTS MADE AN ANALYSIS BASED ON THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE GENERALLY JEALOUS, LOVELESS AND AGGRESSIVE, AND THEY CONCLUDEDTHE PEOPLE OF THE MIDDLE EAST ARE AWAY FROM ALLAH, RELIGION AND ISLAM. THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN OVERCOME BY RACISM, LOVELESSNESS AND CRUELTY AND THEY ARE AGGRESSIVE. WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THIS? FIRST, WE CAN MAKE THEM ATTACK ONE ANOTHER, AND SECOND, WE CAN DESTROY THEM. WE HAVE THE MEANS TO DO THAT."
Because they know that the system of the Mahdi is unifying, America wants to destroy this system now. American or European specialists know the Middle Easy very well; they know the system of the Mahdi and they are specialized people. They say, "Try and destroy this system." They made some attempts, but they faced me and Allah closed their path.
November 2nd, 2013: Milli Gazete
Mehmet Sevket Eygi wrote that it doesn't seem that the civil war in Syria will end and similar games are being played in Muslim countries like Turkey. He noted that the aim is to break down Muslims and to prevent their unity and prevent them from having a real Chaliph.

Women at a prison near Gothenburg sent a letter to Sweden's Justice Ombundsman bemoaning the fact they are not permitted to wear bikinis while sunbathing. The women argued, "It's a human right" to sunbathe. "How are we supposed to sunbathe at all," they argued. "The answer we have got is that we can sunbathe in shorts and sport tops. In other words, we are treated differently because we are in an institution and we are discriminated because of our gender. We want to be able to enjoy the sun just like everybody else in Sweden."
I would think getting sun in Sweden is more of a luxury than a right. I can only side with these unfortunate women who want to get every scant opportunity available in Sweden to get some sunshine. Go for it ladies, after all, our Cro-Magnon ancestors most probably walked around naked in Sweden when there was sun.

It looks as if the Malaysian owners of Battersea Power Station are going to hire British assistance to help fulfill a promise to sell the first 800 flats on the 39-acre site by next September.
Not the usual high-end suspects, Knight Frank or Savills. Instead, the world's second-biggest agent, Jones Lang LaSalle, is close to being selected. Why? Because JLL has a network of offices in the Far East, rather than scores of branches in the Home Counties.
Joint owners Sime Darby and SP Setia are marketing the flats in Malaysia for about £1000 a square foot. But they need help further north, particularly in China, where JLL has 12 offices. The target of selling 800 of 3400 units in one year was met with disbelief in September. But reservations on nearby Embassy Gardens have reached more than 400 in just a few months. Developer Ballymore is charging about the same price of £1000 a square foot.
that unremitting foreign demand has pushed London house prices beyond the reach of all but the more moneyed first-time buyers is now a constant refrain. I asked Boris Johnson's housing adviser, David Lunts, if the Mayor might heed calls to restrict overseas ownership. "No" was the answer: he warned even the threat of restrictions might cause the market to collapse.
Lunts said a forthcoming report on London's finances by Tony Travers might suggest diverting stamp duty from the booming boroughs into building affordable homes in those where foreign buyers are scarce. He conceded that it was "difficult to see how the politics of housing is not going to intrude".

Dog brings little piece of home to care facility
BERESFORD, S.D. — Despite only being 8 years old, Giuseppe has practically been a part of the Bethesda Nursing home staff since August. A model employee, he shows up to work on time every day, is well-mannered, knows a few tricks, was festively dressed for the holidays and loves to keep Bethesda's residents and staff entertained.
He's also a border collie/black Lab mix.
Giuseppe's owner, LPN April Smythe, adopted Giuseppe from the humane society in Bemidji, Minn., when the pup was just 6 weeks old. She said his visits started in August — sporadically at first but gradually becoming more consistent.
[PHOTO: In this photo taken on Thursday, Dec. 19, 2013, Giuseppe and his owner April Smythe pose for a photo as they spread a little Christmas spirit at the Bethesda Nursing Home in Beresford, S.D. (AP Photo/Yankton Press & Dakotan, Rob Nielsen)]
"We were talking at lunch one day about wanting a nursing home dog and I said I would bring in my dog," Smythe said. "After that conversation, I just started bringing him to visit. (Giuseppe and I) would sit outside with a couple of residents on my days off. Then I asked if I could just bring him in. Then I brought him once or twice per week. On the days I didn't bring him, people would get upset that he wasn't there and they'd be asking me, so now I have to bring him in every day."
Giuseppe became a hit with the 63 residents at Bethesda. Administrator Patrick Berry said that Giuseppe only needed to be up to date on vaccinations to be around the residents. He added Giuseppe's always been on his best behavior around the home.
"He's very well-trained," Berry said. "Everyone comments on how well-trained he truly is."
Smythe said the addition of a dog has been popular among residents.
"We mainly stick to the halls," she said. "There's quite a few residents that just go out of their way to come find him. On my days off, they're constantly in the nurse's area asking where the dog is. They love him."
Berry said Giuseppe brings a little piece of home to residents, especially those who were once dog owners themselves.
"One of our goals has always been to make it a home-like environment," Berry said. "I think a lot of these residents grew up with dogs or had a dog at some time in their life. And with pet therapy — they've done a lot of studies that it's beneficial for residents and staff alike. We all benefit from him being here."
Smythe recounted the case of a resident at Bethesda that immediately took to Giuseppe.
"(One resident) was really having issues with depression," she said. "We were changing her antidepressants and really working a lot on that. As soon as I started bringing the dog in, we didn't increase her antidepressants after that. She just responded so well to him."
Of course, Giuseppe also entertains residents with a number of tricks that he's learned over the years. He also has a surprising grasp of a foreign language.
"He knows a few tricks in Spanish because my mom is Dominican and I lived in an apartment for a while where I couldn't keep him, so he lived with my mom who took all his tricks and taught them to him in Spanish," Smythe said.
Giuseppe's tricks include sit, lay, roll over, high-five, jumping, hugging and taking a bow. Smythe said the dog is normally docile — only getting particularly riled up when it snows.
"He'll get excited when it snows and run around outside like crazy," she said. "Otherwise when he's inside, he'll just be (calm)."
Berry said he's been pleased with the impact Giuseppe has had at Bethesda.
"I've seen pet-therapy dogs in other facilities," he said. "If you ever think of a pet-therapy dog, he's the ideal dog. His behavior, his mannerisms, the way he interacts with the residents — he's just the ideal dog for a long-term care facility like this."
Additionally, Smythe said working alongside her dog each day has brought her closer to him.
"It's been awesome getting to bring my dog to work," she said. "We were close before, but now I'm attached to him constantly all day long."

USDA Picks Vegetables for the HungryBy Sharon Durham
November 24, 1999
As the holiday season approaches, thoughts turn not only to gift shopping but to the needy. In that spirit, dozens of U.S. Department of Agriculture employees gathered last month to pick 550 pounds of green beans to feed the hungry. The beans came from research fields at the Beltsville (Md.) Agricultural Research Center (BARC), operated by the Agricultural Research Service, USDAs chief scientific agency.
It was part of the departments annual Food Recovery and Gleaning Initiative. This years program, called "Building Partnerships to End Hunger," runs through Dec. 16. As part of USDAs food drive, employees picked vegetables from ARS Beltsville research plots to provide food for programs such as Food for Others and the Washington Area Gleaning Network Service (WAGNS). ARS labs at other locations are also involved in gleaning efforts with local groups in their communities.
In addition to providing vegetables for the food drive, USDA's gleaning program operates continuously throughout the year, offering fresh produce to various local programs. At Beltsville, over 60,000 pounds of potatoes, tomatoes, sweet corn, green beans, cantaloupe, squash, cucumbers and apples were picked and donated this year. It is estimated that over 110,000 pounds of produce will be donated by year-end.
Volunteer pickers at Beltsville include incoming first-year students from the University of Maryland's Scholars Group, middle-school science students and teachers, and members of Girl Scout troops.
Food for Others, based in Fairfax, Va., feeds as many as 700 people each night at 15 sites in Northern Virginia and supplies food to about 50 other organizations in the metropolitan Washington, D.C., area. Local grocery stores provide bags for the effort.
Throughout the year, USDA also allows WAGNS to harvest surplus vegetables for distribution. WAGNS distributes the harvested bounty to the Capital Area Community Food Bank in Washington; Maryland Food Bank, Inc.; and soup kitchens, shelters and housing projects in the Baltimore-Washington region. The Capital Area Community Food Bank redistributes the food to about 950 feeding programs.
Other gleaning activities at ARS labs nationwide include:

About Me==============================================
I'm only available to do photoshoots on weekends (Saturday-Sunday). My schedule is really tight on weekdays (Monday-Friday) due to a very demanding work that I'm currently holding.
I may seem as fleeting as time. One moment I'm there, the next minute I'm nowhere but in the real sense of it all, I'm everywhere.
The world, as I see it, is a one great big outdoor and I'm as much that willing explorer with no time to waste. Come to think of it, the lifetime we were given is shorter than what it actually is. Hence for me, it is but a grim blunder to only walk through familiar paths or to just reside within safe confines.
I'm from the Philippines and I graduated from one of its prestigious and progressive exclusive for girls colleges. I've worked as a Media Relations Assistant, Event Coordinator, Public Relations Writer and positions in Marketing. These days, I'm into freelance work.
I think, I'm at this point in my life where I just want to do my own thing -- explore my other talents, skills and potentials, and get to know myself a little better by taking chances. If for anything, I'm as committed as always to travelling, trying out new things and learning.
I really hope to learn many new things from the people I'll be working with through this site. I also accept bookings for projects abroad. So don't hesitate to message me here anytime. Let's work on some conceptual shoots or any other projects where we can all make good use of our creative juices!
I'll be looking forward to collaborating with only the best and the greatest people out there. Thanks for visiting my site :)
NOTE: I'm open to any genre but NO to plain into your face NUDITY please.
I'm open to any compensation (besides everything is negotiable).
***You may also contact me for print ads/commercials, events and fashion shows.

Four years ago, the Catholic Schools Office partnered with the Diocesan Mission Council about raising awareness regarding immigration to the United States. In June, our administration, faculty and staff will again have the opportunity to travel to El Paso to take part in and discover the Border Awareness Experience. This is a life changing opportunity. You will bond, laugh, cry, pray, cook, witness Christ to others and see Christ in your fellow man.
This video was shown at our 26th Annual Celebration of Catholic Schools. These are interviews of several of our principals who attended the first summer Border Awareness Experience to El Paso.
