The hemp plant contains more than 416 chemicals of which more than 60 are cannabinoids (Turner. 1984). These compounds have been known for their therapeutic and psychoactive properties for at least 4000 years. The principal rleuroactive constituent is Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-TAC), often used as the prototype of the entire cannabinoid family due to its presence in derivatives ofcannabis sativa(marijuana and hashish) used by humans recreationally. Δ9-THC is, like other cannabinoids, highly lipophilic and for some time cannabinoid actions were thought to be mediated by nonspecific disruption of cellular membranes, which may inhibit or stimulate membrane-associated enzymes and alter ion channels (Hillardet al..1985; Martin, 1986; Felderet al..1992). However, in the early '80s, cannabinoid receptors have been cloned (Matsudaet al., 1990), localized in rodent brain (Herkenhametal.,1990; Matsudaetal.,1993 and periphery (Munroet aí.,1993), and putative endogenous ligands identified (Mechoulam and Hanus 2000; Martinet al., 1999 and references therein). Today unanimous consensus exists regarding most, but not all, cannabinoid effects as receptor-mediated through Gprotein-coupled CB1 and CB2 receptors, spectively.

compare the island in the opening and closing chapters of the novel lord of the flies.
Whenever you are writing a comparison/contrast paper (paragraph, essay, research paper), you need to plan it out very carefully on paper first.
Try this:
1. Write all the information about one of your topics on one page.
2. Write all the information about the other topic on another page.
3. Then put them together in this order:
1. Intro
2. All about topic A
~~~2A. detail 1
~~~2B. detail 2
~~~2C. detail 3
~~~2D. detail 4
~~~2E. detail 5
3. All about topic B
~~~3A. detail 1
~~~3B. detail 2
~~~3C. detail 3
~~~3D. detail 4
~~~3E. detail 5
4. Concl.
The number of details for each topic will vary depending on your main points. I would include comparisons (how they are similar) in the introduction and conclusion, but sections 2 and 3 and all those details will be stating and explaining how they are different.
There are two recognized patterns for writing comparison/contrast papers. One is casually referred to as "zig-zag," but can be very confusing for the reader if you don't use transitions effectively. The other is topic-by-topic (which is what I've outlined above) and is much easier for the reader to follow.
See http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/acadwrite/comparcontrast.html for further help with comparison/contrast writing.
Once you have organized your information, please re-post if you'd like feedback from someone here.
Is this axceptible One day there was a Mouse and a man who knew nothing about eachother
In Mouse as Men skinbird is describing George and Lennie as Father like Son figures is this exceptible for a thesis statement
Lisa -- please post your questions in a new post, not tagged onto someone else's.
Please also proofread what you type before you click on Post. What you have above doesn't make sense to me.

Re: Exporting a formula to Excel via copypaste
The two parts of the constant term will automatically combine.
InputForm uses asterisks.

Many Taxpayers are Being Hit by ID Thieves
If an identity thief chooses you, it can take a long time to straighten the situation out. All they need is your Social Security number and some counterfeit documents, and the bad guy can file a fake tax return in your name and get a refund of several thousand dollars. Houston CPA Bob Fumagalli says he knows people who have had to deal with this...
"The individuals have to contact the IRS and fight to get their refunds, and go through a lot of pain and agony," Fumagalli says. "So, it is a real thing that's going on and it's very serious."
Fixing the situation isn't a short process, either.
"Delays can take 18 months, two years," he explains, "before you can get the refund back."

Behavioral and Social Science Research on Understanding and Reducing Health Disparities (R21)
Behavioral and Social Science Research on Understanding and Reducing Health Disparities (R21)
Purpose. To encourage behavioral and social science research on the causes and solutions to health and disabilities disparities in the U. S. population. Health disparities between, on the one hand, racial/ethnic populations, lower socioeconomic classes, and rural residents and, on the other hand, the overall U.S. population are major public health concerns. Emphasis is placed on research in and among three broad areas of action: 1) Public policy, 2) health care, and 3) disease/disability prevention. Particular attention is given to reducing health gaps among groups. Proposals that utilize an interdisciplinary approach, investigate multiple levels of analysis, incorporate a life-course perspective, and/or employ innovative methods such as system science or community-based participatory research are particularly encouraged. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, PAR-10-136, that encourages applications under the R01. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.

Teeny boppers all over the country were thrilled to see their favorite stars flock to the 2014 Teen Choice Awards earlier tonight in Los Angeles, CA and we're bringing you all the action from tonight's main event (August 10).
There's already so much buzz surrounding "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay-Part 1," and things are getting even more exciting with the arrival of the first official teaser trailer.
Getting ready for its November release, Lionsgate debuted two living portraits from "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" this week.
Featuring Peeta Mellark ( Josh Hutcherson) and Johanna Mason ( Jena Malone), the portraits show the characters dressed in all white as they stand tall in from of the Capitol's seal.
It won't be long before millions of fans are lining up at their local cinemas to see "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" and Lionsgate has just dropped a new promotional trailer to tide us over.
In the new teaser, Peeta Mallark ( Josh Hutcherson) joins President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and Johanna Mason ( Jena Malone) for a second address to the nation of Panem.
It won't be long before "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" is upon us, and until then there's a new propaganda trailer to build the buzz.
Featuring Donald Sutherland and Josh Hutcherson, the new clip is comprised of a speech from President Snow while Peeta Mellark stands by.
It has been a long and amazing journey for Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth and on Friday they filmed the final scene for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay- Part 2."
Celebrating their latest creation, the cast of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" hit up the 2014 Cannes Film Festival this weekend.
With fans eagerly awaiting the next installment in the "Hunger Games" trilogy, Jennifer Lawrence was hard at work on the set of "Mockingjay" in Paris on Thursday (May 15).
The actress, who plays Katniss Everdeen in the films, was decked out in battle gear as she took a break between takes.

She Loves Me
She Loves Me Not
1. Heat!
It looks like I'm not the only one who enjoyed the heat last week. Like really? It was a freakin-frackin 105. Like, who does that?
2. Glitter Shirts
Not all of them of course. Just the glitter shirt that made my 5 year old go all crazy on me. She raised a tantrum in the morning because according to her, the glitter from her shirt gets on everyone at daycare. Hey, I say why not have everyone at daycare look like dancers from the movie Showgirls.

A black/white experiment: Watch what happens when they commit the SAME CRIME!
I sometimes overhear folks saying racism doesnt exist, and that they think everyone is treated fairly.
Then there are others who speak to me on a regular basis about the disparities in how they are treated vs their counterparts of a different ethnicity/background.
This video I found on the "Simple Misfits" youtube page was meant as an experiment to see if a white man was seen "possibly comitting a crime" and a black man was seen "possibly committing that same crime"....
Would they be treated equally?????
Check out the video then reach out to me with your opinions

Elon Musk may have officially become the real life version of Tony Stark.
The celebrity CEO appears in this video posted on the SpaceX youtube channel showing off the first version of his Iron Man inspired design lab. In the famous series of Marvel films, Robert Downey Jr.'s character utilizes holographic technology to help build his series of new suits. Operated by hand, 3D images appear on screen as Tony Stark mixes and molds designs to fit a new creative vision for his arsenal of armors.
In this video, Musk has brought that technology to life with his new design lab. Harnessing a Leap Motion controller to manipulate 3D designs to help with the development of new rocket parts. While this demonstration does seem as if it was ripped straight from a sci-fi film, the most amazing aspect of it is that all of the technology that was used exists today. The businessman embraces 3D printing to bring his models to life while the Leap Motion gesture controller can be purchased online. For skeptics who feel that 3D printing will never be a valuable commodity, Musk just proved you dead wrong. Let us know what you think of this wild new invention in the comments section below.

Woman's Life & Kid's Life
|God's heart for women's ministry is that the godly older women in the church, under the authority of the pastor and elders, give leadership to the young women. They are to care for, disciple, teach and encourage the young women in biblical womanhood and holiness. That is our desire at Community Bible Church through the ministry of Woman's Life. What you will find are women who love God's church, love God's Word, and love God. You will find women who want to obey Him with all their hearts. Woman's Life meets the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month from 10 am until 12:15 pm September through April. The structure of the morning: We meet for large group teaching in the worship center, then break for fellowship and food in the cafe, and finally gather in small groups we call Titus fellowships led by a seasoned older woman.
"If the evening is a more convenient time, Woman's Life also meets at night; at 6:15 on the Monday night following the Wednesday session. A light supper followed by a wonderful time of biblical instruction, discussion and fellowship is led by Gaye McNair. (Childcare is not available during the evening sessions.) There is also a small group of teenage girls that meet during this time. This year there is also a group that meets at our Bluffton Campus.
Woman's Life is a place for solid Bible teaching and practical application geared specifically for women in all seasons of life. Woman's Life is a place for women to connect and encourage each other in their walks with God. Woman's Life is a place to grow. Whether you are a young mom, a grand-mother, single, college age - no matter what - Woman's Life is designed for you.
And for the children and grandchildren of our women, we offer a companion children's ministry called KIDS Life (Birth – 12th Grade). There is a one time fee of 5.00 per child / 10.00 per family max for kids K-8th grade.
For more information, contact Community Bible Church at (843) 525-0089. To order Woman's Life messages, please call 843-525-0089 ext 223 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Comments about GE 36" Electric Cooktop:
Cooktop has plenty of burners that heat up quickly. The only thing I would change is possibly the color. It tends to attract dust very quickly. It's a challenge keeping it clean.
Comments about GE 36" Electric Cooktop:
Works great but is hard to keep this cooktop clean. Had a previous model without the "shiny" black glass and it was much easier to keep looking good.
Comments about GE 36" Electric Cooktop:
Thought I was getting a five burner. Store manager told me it was a five burner. No. Four burners and a warmer. I can warm in the oven! Why take up valuable space on a supposedly upgraded model with a warmer. Idea for design folks - get someone in who actually cooks for more than two people and try to prepare a holiday meal on these miniature "stoves". Also takes forever to heat up to boiling point.
Comments about GE 36" Electric Cooktop:
Positive: Cooktop has the burner selection I wanted with different sizes and the grill option included. Negative: the specifications were not true on the front to back dimension. It states 21 inches but does not account for the rounded grill front which is approx. 20.5 inches at the left and right edges. Being that this was a replacement top that had to fit in an existing granite cutout, I had to customize a stainless steel trim.
Comments about GE 36" Electric Cooktop:
Just installed it today and looks like once we get used to it, it will be a joy to use compared to the old coil element Thermador. It looks great!
Comments about GE 36" Electric Cooktop:
I am fairly happy with my new cooktop. The top is fine. The downdraft created problems. The cooktop was perfectly installed and works well, easy to clean, lots of nice cooking options. Installation of the downdraft was and is a problem...no one professional seemed responsible so I finally found a friend who invented something to hook the old downdraft to the new downdraft. Should not be such a problem.
Comments about GE 36" Electric Cooktop:
We had this product in our last house. Liked it so much,we purchased again for our new house.
Comments about GE 36" Electric Cooktop:
This 36" built-in cooktop has all the features you'd ever want. It has: single, dual, and tri-ring elements; a warming zone, and a "bridge" element. It is easy to take care of and use.
Comments about GE 36" Electric Cooktop:
Love the 5 burners and very good heat control. Only problem---I have learned that I splatter a lot. Can clean with soap and water, but to get looking really good, need the special cleaner and a microfiber cloth to take off the spears.
Comments about GE 36" Electric Cooktop:
This is a great cook top with the gridle side to the warming spot. Really enjoy cooking on the ceramic top. Easy to clean and fast to heat food up.

text: A fair in Bangor for local veterans focused on two important topics today, unemployment and healthcare."I came home one day and the next day I had a job," says veteran Leo Duvay.That's something that most Maine veterans can't say.Congressman Mike Michaud addressed Bangor-area veterans and healthcare providers about the importance of getting those who've served back to work, Tuesday in Bangor. "We got to do a better job and part of that is to make sure that our veterans can provide for themselves, that there is life beyond carrying a rifle over in Iraq or Afghanistan and jobs is one way to do it," Michaud said.Leo Duvay, a Korean War Veteran, was one of the vets at the Penobscot Community Health Care career and health fair. He says soldiers just returning home probably don't know about these opportunities. "Well the young ones should have come to find out what's going on and what's available to them right now you know," Duvay said. Michaud says the down economy has caused Maine to lose jobs in the last year, and connecting veterans to jobs is one of the largest road blocks."For the new job opportunities in Maine that are out there we've got to do everything we can to match up those jobs with our veterans who are unemployed and get then to work again," Michaud said. Maine has a large veteran population living in rural areas, making communication a challenge."Try to connect the career centers with job opportunities with a veteran who is unemployed and try to get those messages out there," Michaud said.

- - Post Bloat (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/health-issues/390594-post-bloat.html)
Post Bloat
I have a question for those who have dealt with this in the past.
yesterday my German Shepard Puma (6 yrs Old) had surgery for Bloat. We where lucky in that we got her to the ER very very early and they didnt have to remove spleen and her stomach was ok. (I picked her up from kennel (2 weeks in there) and within 30 mins I saw she was sick and took her to ER.
My question is what to expect Post Op. If her stomach bloats again..do I take her to ER.. how long should I expect her to live? Meaning does she still have same life expectancy (if this never happened)? She has been eating Blue country Dog food..Should I change Diet? Your responses are appreciated. Thank you.
not educated enough to give solid info on this, but kudos for acting quickly. did they do the gastroplexy also? not sure of the spelling on that, but as i understand it, the vet staples the stomach so it will not twist, tortion again.
yep they performed the gastroplexy*
234 Attachment(s)
So glad you caught it in time!!! Bloat is a very scary thing. I have one girl who is a regular bloater.
Have simethicone on hand at all times. Gas-x is the other name. If you think she is looking bloaty, give her 1-2. Wait for a bit, if no improvement go to the vet.
I don't think there is a decreased life expectancy, now that she is pexied. It's the torsion(flipping if the stomach), GDV, that kills.
Make her eat slower. Put a large rock in her bowl, or get her one if those slow feeding bowls. Do not feed her if she is panting. My rule is 2 hours before or after excersise.
Good Luck!!

2009-2015 Cadillac CTS-V General Discussion Discussion, New problems, anybody have these? in Cadillac CTS-V Series Forum - 2009-2015; I can't catch a break, apparently. So before I take the V in for its monthly dealer visit to fix ...
New problems, anybody have these?
I can't catch a break, apparently. So before I take the V in for its monthly dealer visit to fix it, I wanted to see if anybody else had experienced these things.
1. Today there's a new sound coming from the passenger side, on the outside of the car, I can't tell if it's near the front or rear wheel, or somewhere in between. It sounds a little like a card in bicycle spokes, but heavier and more metallic. It's speed-dependent, it doesn't start until about 25 MPH, and then the oscillation gets quicker and slows down with vehicle speed. It's pretty loud, I can hear it very clearly inside the car with the windows up.
It was definitely not there yesterday. I checked the wheels and lug nuts, none of them seemed loose, and I couldn't find anything that looked out of place. I'm at a loss, I can't even imagine what it could be at this point.
2. There is a high pitched whining, also pretty loud, that sounds like it's coming from the driver's side rear axle, or somewhere near there. It's only present from 45-60 MPH or so. It's speed but also throttle-input dependent. If my foot isn't on the gas pedal then it doesn't make the noise. But if I have even the slightest pressure on the pedal, the noise comes in at a volume relative to how far I have the pedal pushed down - but only between about 45 and 60 MPH. I can make the noise fade in and out by giving it gas and then getting off the pedal.
3. There is an ever-present but very quiet metal on metal grinding sound coming from the passenger side rear axle or near there. It's so quiet that it almost sounds like a normal mechanical driveline noise, but it still sounds like metal on metal to me. That could be perfectly normal, I have no idea. It's just something I noticed.

Supercharger rattle, wheel click, and diff?

Re: New problems, anybody have these?
Sounds like the notorious "wheel click" issue coupled with something at the rear differential. I have the same noise as you described in #3 and I'm probably going to just make that Service appointment and have the diff fluid level checked and/or replaced.
I'll take "Wheel Click and low differential fluid" for $500., Alex. For what it's worth, the wheel click is now married to you. No end in sight, I'm afraid. The diff issue is an easy fix.
Re: New problems, anybody have these?
It depends - I've had the front wheel click issue before, and this ain't it. The "normal" wheel click issue is only present while turning the wheels, and only at low speed. The current issue I have is only present at high speed, and it does it without turning the wheels. Is this a second type of known wheel click? Or maybe it is supercharger rattle. Does the s/c rattle occur if you're not in positive boost? I'm hearing it even when my foot is off the pedal completely and I'm coasting.
The high pitched whining I described is definitely coming from the rear of the car, not the front, so I ruled the supercharger out as a possible cause of that particular problem. The grinding seems like a diff issue to me too. Well either way looks like I'm going to have to bring the car in again.
Re: New problems, anybody have these?
Also, there could be something loose underneath your car or some road debris flapping against the underside. I heard something like this from a relatively new standard CTS loaner. My wheel clicking was fixed about 52,000 miles ago and I never heard it outside a parking lot.
Could the grinding be a brake pad wear sensor? You might check the proximity of the sensor to the rotor.

Re: New problems, anybody have these?
I also had the same metal on metal sound you describe above in #3 but from the drivers side. I haven't been able to drive enough to figure out if the diff replacement also cured that problem as well.
If I can just get them to do something about my damn recaro I would be ok for now..
Re: New problems, anybody have these?
I've got a slight supercharger rattle at idle, but it's very minor and goes away at 800 rpm and above. There was a thread on here several months ago describing the "Spokes in a bicycle wheel" sound. IIRC, he was several quarts low on oil, I think???
No rear end whine on mine, but sounds like low fluid/bad diff to me too, in reading the many posts here describing the sound. I'll bet the metallic grinding sound is related to the differential as well, but I'm admittedly just guessing...
Edit: Here's the link to the other thread I mentioned. There's a YouTube video with the sound to compare. This guy, had to have the engine replaced, hope your's turns out better. Link: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...ine-noise.html
Re: New problems, anybody have these?
It sounds as though you've made quite a few visits to your dealership for different concerns - I'm sorry if this is the case. If we can ever look into anything further, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us here on the forum. Otherwise, we look forward to hearing how your visit goes.
All the best,

Re: New problems, anybody have these?
I had the dealer check the fluid in the rear diff the first time I was there, and it was full so I hadn't been worrying about it. At this point I'm pretty convinced that both the grinding and the whining noise coming from the rear is the diff, but I still have no idea what the clicking noise is from the right side. I mean it could be wheel clicking, I just can't find anything wrong when it's not moving. And it's not clicking when at low speed and turning, which is when that usually shows up. This is also much louder than the normal wheel clicking, at around 75 MPH it's so loud that it sets up a resonance through the frame. I can actually feel it through my seat. Very weird.
Anyway I just got back from dropping it off. I told my service advisor I was back for my monthly visit, he didn't seem amused. At this point I'm just betting on the law of averages, and assuming that since so many things have gone wrong with this car and been repaired or replaced that things can't continue to keep going wrong. Eventually it's going to hit its stride and be fine. I did tell my advisor that it seemed like a Friday car.
I'll post back when I hear from the dealer.
Re: New problems, anybody have these?
Good news that it's not low oil, that is never a good thing. Sounds like it has to be somewhere between the trans output shaft and the wheels, if it's speed, and not RPM dependent. Also a good thing, IMHO.
I've never had the wheel click, so I don't know what it sounds like. I listen pretty intently when backing, and/or turning at full lock, and it's silent so far. I did a preemptive strike when I took delivery though. I loosened and then retorqued all the lug nuts to 140 ft/lbs. All felt pretty loose when I backed them off. 140 is recommended, 158 is the TSB if you get a click. Figured that left me another re-torque if they started clicking. So far, so good...
Best of luck with the service, looking forward to seeing what they come up with. I hope this is the last time you see them, until your'e due for an oil change too...

Re: New problems, anybody have these?
Got a call from Service, they said they can't replicate any of the problems I brought it in for. So I drove back there, took the assigned mechanic for a drive in it, and sure enough I couldn't hear it making the noise any more. Murphy's freaking law. But wait! As we drove past a wall, I could hear a clicking sound bouncing off the wall, though it was kind of quiet. So we drove past a couple more walls, and it became clear that it was still making the noise, just much quieter for some reason. The mechanic is suspecting the wheels or something about the wheels, or something.
Anyway they're going to look at it some more. I couldn't get it to replicate the rear whining, so whatever. If it really is the diff, then the whining will get worse, and when it does I can bring it back. I'm not going to force them to fix a problem I can't demonstrate. Maybe this will be an easier/quicker fix than I'd hoped.
Re: New problems, anybody have these?
Thanks very much for the update, Xaqtly. I'm very relieved to hear that you and your mechanic were able to cleverly duplicate the noise!
Hoping for a speedy fix,

Ceilings, considered the fifth wall, are the largest blank canvases available for home improvement. Throughout history, ceiling lighting accents were an important architectural focus. Over the years the grandeur of ceiling embellishments has given way to modern simplicity and frugal budgets.
However, new designs and manufacturing of medallions which make them affordable, lightweight and easy to install, have contributed to them reaching popularity not seen since the first half of the Twentieth Century.
Ceiling Medallions can be a classic addition to the overall design of your room and ceiling. Primarily used to accentuate chandeliers, they can also be used to accent ceiling fans, numerous other lighting fixtures for the ceiling or purely as a design element not related to lighting.
Medallions can create a distinctive ambiance in your rooms and make a home a one of a kind. It will for sure make your lighting fixture stand our and your ceiling more ornate.
We recommend ELK Lighting Group Medallions since they have the most options with the ability to paint your own. Sizes range from 11" to 51" and they are available in 5 finishes. White—paintable to match any décor. Antique Brass—neutral brown. Chrome, Gold and Copper— exclusive metallic plated finishes. Designs are available from basic to detailed and ornate to match any décor.


text: LNG Tank Top Fires Developed by: AIChE Type: Conference PresentationConference Type: AIChE Spring Meeting and Global Congress on Process Safety Presentation Date: March 15, 2011 Skill Level: Intermediate PDHs: 0.50 Share This Post: The regulatory requirements of 49 CFR 193, Liquefied Natural Gas Facilities: Federal Safety Standards, require thorough engineering reviews before approval of any proposed LNG facility. Such a process must consider potential and credible hazardous events. The proposed paper will specifically note, and make comment on the necessary safe fire radiation exclusion zones and the appropriateness, verification and sensitivity of the model used to define these as well as the lack of consideration for 'knock-on' events; in particular, the escalation of the tank-top fire that could be considered to result in a catastrophic tank failure and thus a significant increase in radiant exposure to the public and its infrastructure beyond the site boundary. To do this a comparison between the results of LNGFIRE and a NIST FDS cfd model will be used in the determination of a safe fire radiation exclusion zone for a typical LNG facility. A safe fire radiation zone to the general public has been defined by the FERC in their EIS's as a distance beyond which radiation exposure is 5kW/m2 or less (NFPA-59). Melham et al[1] states that "(s)ome experts argue that a 20-second 5 kW/m2 limiting thermal radiation exposure criterion is sufficient to establish safe separation distances for the general public. … An opposite view argues that these criteria cannot be applied to sensitive population or critical areas/infrastructures. Thus the literature concludes there exists no definitive and absolute value of 'safe' exposure. The tank top fire used by the FERC to establish whether or not the radiation exclusion zone extends beyond the site perimeter is one where the tanks outer diameter is about 80 to 90m and at an elevation of 40 to 50m. LNGFIRE has only been verified for LNG fires to 35 m in diameter and not for tank-top fires. Actual tank top fires have &'(t)he wind flowing round the sides of the sides of the tank tends to drag the flame down over the edge of the tank towards the ground.&'[2],[3]. This also results in significant flame drag[4] and an increase in the apparent diameter and length of the emitter. Additionally LNGFIRE &'..can only be applied to the specific type of fire examined in the experiments which form the basis of the model.&' (italic emphasis added). What these reservations mean is that LNGFIRE, though an approved regulation, via NFPA59A, and relied on by the FERC to provide protection to the public is NOT an appropriate model to establish zones of impact from the effects of tank-top fires.

[3] Cleaver, P, Johnson, M, and Ho, B, "A summary of some experimental data on LNG safety", 2007, Journal of Hazardous Materials 140, 429–438. [4] LNGFIRE presumes that there is no flame drag for a tank-top fire and that the wind velocity at the tank-top is that estimated at the elevation of 10m: both obvious non physical errors.

He has laboured the point repeatedly that McLaren really wants Lewis to stay at the team. In praising Jenson for the brilliant pole position he has stated, yet again, that McL has the best driver line up in F1. You can not, for one second, claim that MW is biased and favours Jenson. It is utter rubbish to say that. Even Lewis praised Jenson's performance and wished him well for the race. Why can't you just be pleased for JB and a great performance. Go Jenson. 10 agree 1 disagree

Great article here about bitcoin price fixing.
The article points out this valuation using the size of the bitcoin economy and a reasonable monetary velocity is at most $4 per bitcoin.
": As pointed out by Jon Matonis and others, Automattic's WordPress bitcoin revenue turned out to be not representative. The BitPay clearinghouse has an annual bitcoin-economy turnover of about 60 million USD equivalent. That changes the ballpark utility valuation of one bitcoin to (60M+22M) / 1.67 / 11.7M = about four US dollars. The revised data still supports the conclusion strongly.]"
$4 per bitcoin! bitcoin trades in the $140s.
(Btw, this math is very similar to what I used several months ago to show bitcoin is too valuable to be used as money. I also came to similar conclusions about what needs to happen to the value of bitcoin if it is to be successful. )
"In Step 1 of the cycle, the shark squad makes a large buyup, causing prices to skyrocket. Illustrated here, the buyup at 10:00 European time on Thursday September 12, 2013, from USD 135 to 145.9, an instant 8-percent increase. This causes a lot of downward-betting traders to flush out.In step 2, the shark squad reverses this trend by causing a slow pullback, causing those who bought in greed to sell off in panic as the market has reversed and causing more stop losses to trigger and people to sell to the squad's bids. Note that I write causes a pullback – this is not a normal market pullback. Let's look at the big picture first as displayed by the sitebitcoinwisdom, which displays much more detail than most sites. You can see the pullback over Thursday lunch-to-afternoon (blue box, right half), and there is also a display of the current order book (yellow box) and the recent transactions (red box) which we will look at shortly. Note how the recent transactions in the indicated red box are all red, red, red, indicating a massive selloff – there's nobody buying at all on cursory inspection, only selling, and a lot of selling.However, let's take a closer look at the minute details of the recent transactions in the bottom right corner, displaying time, price, and amount of the last bitcoin transactions:Do you see a pattern here? All the transactions are for exactly one bitcoin, and the transactions are spaced exactly five seconds apart. This pattern can continue for hours, a claim verifiable by checking the MtGox transaction history. This is not market trading; this is one (1) automated process intended to give the illusion of many different players panic-selling. Furthermore, let's take a closer look at the order book:
Do you see the numbers below and to the left of the current big red price? That's the bid order book. That's the current buy orders. Note how the currently executing buy orders are at 7-8 bitcoin each, placed just 0.0001 (!) bitcoin apart in price, evading detection on most sites. This is coordinated with the selling person. Those buy orders keep replenishing as the sales orders keep ticking one bitcoin per five seconds; they are coordinated. This is one person in the Shark Squad selling to another person in the Shark Squad, to give the illusion of market downward pressure and sell volume."
This article doesn't even go into how a vast majority of bitcoin transactions are a sham, and designed to obscure the fact most bitcoins are owned by just a few people.
"By the nature of the system, the ownership history of every bitcoin in existence is public. Ron and Shamir found that a sizeable bulk of the Bitcoin transaction history to date consisted of shell game switcheroos, designed to conceal certain inconvenient facts. And it should surprise no one that, once the fog of deliberate obfuscation clears, we see the following distribution of ownership:
But the most damning fact revealed in the paper is not the extreme top-heaviness of the Bitcoin ownership pyramid, but rather the elaborate lengths to which the hoarders went in order to conceal their existence from "rank and file" users. Think of it! Hundreds of thousands of shill accounts, with vast rivers of wealth moving back and forth – for one purpose only: to deceive. None of it was done by accident."
A reasonable value of bitcoin is $4, yet it trades $140 The market has tens of thousands of shell accounts trading for no reason. The biggest owners of bitcoin trade between these accounts for no apparent reason. The transaction history shows multiple instances of what would be SEC trading violations.
Yes, Bitcoin is a scam. No matter how useful and inexpensive the secure transaction technology is, the reality of bitcoin is "Scam".

Q : How did you end up on Breaking Bad?
A : I went in for an audition with casting director and they put you on tape ship it out to producers and they watch the tape.... Hopefully, while they are fully clothed and "BOOM" got the call.
Q : Did you expect to come back on season 5?
A : As for being invited back for season 5, I was hopeful but with a show as unpredictable as Breaking Bad... I mean they were using the Laundry mat as central location but Dennis Murkowski wasn't brought in til 2nd the last ep of season 4. Needles to say when I was brought back it was great. Vince Gilligan is very secretive with scripts. So I know I was being invited back but I only receive copy of my scene not full script so it was fun watching finished product with the rest of the fans.
Q : Can you please tell us something about episode 5.08 (season finale)?
A : As for ep. 5.08. I can tell you..... I'm in it! Anything else I was told they have a puppy hostage and will do terrible things to it if I indulge any info.... Haha. Seriously, I only know what I filmed. I have no idea what is going to happen. I will be discovering with the rest of the world where the finale goes.

That article was written YEARS ago in 2003. Who knows how accurate the result actually is?
BMW chose to build the X3 thru a subcontractor because it was (and still is) running at full capacity. In 2004, they had the new 1-series and 5-series to build in Germany. Thus, it makes more sense to outsource the job, than spend millions in additional capital to expand their own existing infrastructure.
Austria does have lower labour costs than Germany. However, the price of raw materials has steadily risen since then. The Euro is now also worth much more v. the USD than it was back in 2003. There are just too many factors, in addition to the fact that the article was dated back in '04, to determine whether the article is correct.

Site: Lincoln, Neb. (Nebraska Soccer Field)
Score: #21 Michigan 2, #23 Nebraska 1
Records: U-M (9-2-1, 3-1-1 Big Ten), Nebraska (9-3-1, 4-1-0 Big Ten)
Next U-M Event: Sunday, Oct. 13 -- at Penn State (State College, Pa.), 1 p.m.
LINCOLN, Neb. -- Senior Nkem Ezurike (Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia/Sackville) and freshman Madisson Lewis (Canton, Mich./Plymouth) scored second-half goals within four minutes of each other to propel the No. 21-ranked University of Michigan women's soccer team to a 2-1 victory at Nebraska on Sunday (Oct. 6) at Nebraska Soccer Field. The Huskers had won seven consecutive matches and sat tied atop the Big Ten standings at 4-0-0.
The two teams were scoreless after the opening 45 minutes of play. Ezurike attempted to get the offense going early, putting a shot on goal in the second minute that was saved by Nebraska goalkeeper Emma Stevens with a dive to her right. The Wolverines' best chance, though, came in the 10th minute off a corner kick. The service came in from the far side, and fifth-year senior Holly Hein (Castaic, Calif./West Ranch) came free in the center of the six-yard box, but her header attempt clanged off the crossbar. In the 16th minute, Ezurike took on the defense with a run and attempted to slip the ball to Lewis at the far post, but her pass was just out of Lewis' reach.
Ezurike snapped her three-match scoreless streak with a goal in the 54th minute to put Michigan up, 1-0. Sophomore Corinne Harris (Chicago, Ill./Walter Payton College Prep) played a ball along the far side to Lewis. The speedy freshman drew defenders to her side and lured Stevens off her line then slipped a cross to a wide-open Ezurike at the far post, where she tapped the ball into an open net for the score.
Not even four minutes later, Lewis got in on the scoring to make it 2-0. The ball was loose in the box off a long throw-in after it glanced off a Nebraska defender, but Lewis found it in space and punched a shot through traffic past Stevens for the two-goal lead with 30 minutes to play.
The Cornhuskers cut the lead to 2-1 in the 75th minute on a header goal by Jordan Jackson. Nebraska's Courtney Claassen crossed the ball into the box and found Jackson on the end of a run, with her header dribbling past the outstretched arms of freshman goalkeeper Taylor Bucklin (Greenwich, Conn./Brookfield), who made three saves on the day. The Wolverines had some chances following that score to make it a two-goal lead again -- specifically a long run by Harris down the length of the field following a corner kick and an open-net chance for Ezurike as Stevens was out of the box -- but neither went in the net. Michigan's defense weathered the storm in the final 10 minutes, repelling four Nebraska shots to preserve the victory.
The Wolverines wrap up the road trip with one match next week, facing defending Big Ten champion Penn State next Sunday (Oct. 13) in State College, Pa. The match will begin at 1 p.m.

With National Hockey League teams adjusting their budgets to follow new salary restrictions that resulted from the 2012-13 lockout, a new metric created by University of Chicago Booth School of Business Professors Robert Gramacy and Matt Taddy, together with Professor Shane Jensen of Wharton, could help owners determine which players are overvalued and undervalued, and how to best shape their teams cost effectively.
Published in a recent issue of the Journal of Quantitative Analysis and Sports, the study, titled "Estimating Player Contribution in Hockey with Regularized Logistic Regression," discusses a more precise assessment which isolates a player's involvement in a goal by calculating the partial effect of each player. Those figures then determine the appropriate credit deserved to individual players.
In hockey, aside from goals and assists, the most important player statistic is a plus-minus value. Players are given a plus if they are on the ice when their own team scores, and a minus if the opposing team scores. The result is that players can have positive values even if they're never part of a key play, or they can hold negative values despite impressive contributions.
Because the current system doesn't account for the effect of other players on the ice, special teams and other factors, individual players can be severely overvalued or undervalued based on their teammates' and opposition's cumulative performance, according to the authors. As a result, they could be receiving inflated or deflated salaries that may not be in line with their abilities.
When that statistical analysis was applied to NHL players from four regular seasons (2007 to 2011), the authors found decidedly different data on player performance than traditional figures, and identified several overvalued and undervalued players in the league. The paper suggests the isolated contributions of regarded and well-paid players like Sidney Crosby, Jonathan Toews, and Zdeno Chara should be re-evaluated. According to the authors, a team made up of the league's most expensive players wouldn't compete much better than a low-budget team.
To keep the analysis current and encourage discussion of what, in some cases, may be
controversial results, Gramacy and Taddy started this blog from which they link to weekly,
updated cumulative and current-season player ability estimates. The code then automates the analysis (including data scraping from NHL.com) for full transparency. As the season has developed they, and others, have drawn interesting comparisons between players and commented on high profile trades.
In anticipation of the Olympics, the authors in a recent blog post consider certain high profile omissions from Team USA's roster, especially as compared to the team composition in their silver medal run four years ago. As an example, their analysis suggests that Erik Johnson (on the previous team) and Bobby Ryan should both have claimed spots over several players who were chosen, but whose player ability estimates were far below the league average.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Last night I finally put the the finishing touches to my first ever zine.
Phoenixii. Issue 1
It is a collection of songs/lyrics/poems/stories/experiences and artwork.
I really wanted to make my first zine and I am happy I have managed to complete it. Now comes the printing. I was going to attempt to covertyl copy it at work but do not think this is going to be practical as the areas are too open and people will see what I am doing. So there are a few printers around which I might try out - Im sure it cannot be too expensive and I want copies to take along to Brighton Zinefest this weekend. This will be first Zinefest too and I am taking along my friend who lives in Brighton who I have not seen for a while. Two birds, one stone.
So if anyone is interested let me know. Will have photos up of the zine soon.

Companies argue, threaten legal action over claimsPosted on
Star brite and ValvTect Marine Fuels, two companies that manufacturer fuel additives to combat problems associated with ethanol-blended gasoline, are at odds over marketing material each has distributed, which they say misleads the public about their respective products.
"There is a big conflict that's brewing and I'm sure it's going to become a legal issue," Jerry Nessenson, president of ValvTect, told Soundings Trade Only this morning.
"He's making claims that are blatantly not true," Star brite's vice president of marketing, Bill Lindsey, said this morning of Nessenson.
Earlier this month, Star brite CEO Peter Dornau sent a letter to Nessenson asking him to stop "your misleading and fraudulent ads that you have been running in national magazines comparing your product verses Star Tron." Dornau claims the ValvTect ads "are a fraud and misstate facts, use obsolete ASTM tests, quote ASTM tests that have nothing to do with fuel additives and are totally misleading."
Nessenson insists that both the test results and the marketing material outlining those results are "fair and accurate."
"The tests were done under ASTM protocol," he said, adding, "It was an independent lab that ran the test. We did not modify the tests or tell them how to run them.
"We believe it was fair and accurate marketing," Nessenson continued. "We don't say that Star Tron doesn't work; we merely posted the results."
Nessenson said this dispute started when Star brite began giving a PowerPoint presentation within the marine industry that claimed ValvTect Ethanol Gasoline Treatment contains alcohol, soap and emulsifiers. None of that is true, he says.
"We've demanded that Star brite remove any reference to ValvTect in that PowerPoint presentation," Nessenson said.
"We're prepared to seek an injunction to prevent any further distribution of that PowerPoint," he said.
Lindsey said Star brite also is considering legal action, and the company's attorneys advised him not to provide details of any potential legal action at this point.

I'd be wary of any shotgun shells that exhibit rust anywhere. With proper storage, 30 year old brass cased ammo should be good to go depending. "Flaky" stuff, I'd beware of. If it exhibits any type of corrosion, I wouldn't use it. 80's factory rounds? Should be no problem. Just inspect them from box to box to be sure.

Dialysis and muscle mass?
Despite Nocturnal dialysis and my best intentions I am finding that gradually my muscles and general strength has been progressively declining since dialysis began. Maybe this is not a concern for everyone but my favourite activities occur in the great outdoors, apart from Srabulous on Facebook;0) and they usually make my days brighter.
After nearly 3 years of dialysis I know I am a lot weaker and can see that where there might have been a bit of a muscle before, they ain't there now.
I find I can do less at the gym and often am cutting my walks short due to lack of energy.
Maybe I am not eating enough protein. How much is enough?
My Neph likes to see my Haemoglobin around 110-115 g/L and my Iron on the low side of normal (currently 11umol/L)
Have others noticed the steady decline of their strength even with good dialysis? Any advice?

This is a great question, beachy. I think every person is different in regard to how kidney disease/dialysis affects them. In my own case, I was normally energetic and athletic as a child. By adolescence I was still athletic, but had a decrease in energy. I once had the occasion to speak with the famous patient/nephrologist, Peter Lundin, and he told me he had a similar history, that despite not going into renal failure until later in life, it may of had it's beginnings from an early age. Just prior to requiring dialysis, I could still do heavy-duty tasks like mowing the grass. But as soon as I had the life-change of going to dialysis 3x a week my focus so changed to that I gradually lost the level of strength and tone I had had.
Now certainly much, if not most of this, is physical due to the disease, but when one thinks of all the stress this causes, the change in diet, the fluid limitation, time spent educating oneself on how to restructure ones life etc etc., it makes sense that one begins to deteriorate. And in my case, there was very little education provided by the medical ppl on how to circumvent what was happening to me- many, if not most of the medical ppl, are poorly educated on their own health habits!
It has only been recently since I started txs at home that I have finally been able to catch my breath, so to speak, come back down to earth and rationally put together a plan to look at what shape I am in and what I can do about it. With this disease, we probably will never be 100%, but I believe with improved dialysis and correct choices for diet and exercise, and most importantly, a strong faith that ensures a good attitude, we can achieve a degree of health that allows us to live life fully.
I think the problem is, most ppl don't have a correct knowledge of what good health is. We've all heard the old adage, "move it or lose it" and who doesn't know that eating processed foods/junk food is dangerous for ones health. So, it comes down to education and choices.
I share the frustration of everyone who has ever tried to sort this out and found it so difficult. But I believe there are clear answers for anyone who seeks it out. I think we feel lousy because we have wrong habits. Add to that a chronic illness and its a double-wammy! But in a strange way, having kidney disease/dialysis has been an impetus for me to get on the right road with my health habits.
I'm not on nocturnal yet, but with the lack of diet restrictions and the greater level of energy, I would think it affords the most opportunity for one to then apply correct eating and exercise habits. This is just a guess and I may be wrong, but I think with a viable plan to improve conditioning, it is achievable. How many possess such a plan? Not many. One might have to let go of some activities, but could still enjoy a vast array of others that makes life well worth living. I think we can achieve a much higher level of conditioning than we think we can.

Hi Folks
Isn't ones health also tied to ones age. I can't do a # of things I did at 20 or 40. (don't won't to) At 20 to 30 a # of people can work harder, stay up late, in other words burn the candle at both ends. drs and nurses when first starting will and do stay up for 24 to 48 hrs at a time. But even if your health isn't bad, time or just the fact that the person has moved on or up, the person won't stay up 24 etc at a time.
. And how long one is in poor health or dealing with a chronic health issue effects the mental which I think effects the physical .

Good point, Bobeleanor, I was just thinking the same thing. None of us are getting any younger! ;-)
Beachy, I assume you know that your hemoglobin is in the target level?
The other thing is, the toxins in the blood (even though there are fewer with nocturnal than with standard HD) are poisons to the tiny capillary blood vessels that feed the muscles. People on dialysis have fewer of these capillaries, and lost exercise capacity.
BUT...exercising can help you grow new capillaries again. I saw Dr. Patricia Painter (an exercise physiologist who specializes in kidney disease) do talks about this, and she even showed pictures of the new blood vessels growing. There are studies that show that even folks into their 80s and 90s can gain muscle mass if they lift weights. Weight lifting and cardio activities help rebuild strength and endurance.
It may be that over the years you'd done less (you did break your elbow, which probably slowed you down at least a bit for a while), PLUS lost some muscle mass because of dialysis. Gradually increasing your activity level should help.
Another question to ask your doctor is whether you might have a carnitine deficiency. Carnitine is a compound your body makes out of amino acids, and it is essential to energy transfer in the body. Dialysis removes carnitine, and nocturnal dialysis probably removes more of it. In the US, there are carnitine supplements on the market (I think the IV ones work better, though this is not an area I know a lot about). Anyway, there is a test for carnitine deficiency.Executive Director

I am looking into exercises that are best suited for dialysis patients. I have the video and manual that Life Options put out and plan to review that. I'm also looking for any other suggested exercises that would work well with dialysis patients. I know with myself, my bones, muscles, joints, cardio isn't what it used to be. I currently am walking each day for starters. I would think water aerobics would be a good form of exercise.
Re carnitine, I was told by a nutritionist, that the IV form is the only way to go as with the oral form, one would have to take loads of pills at a time for it to be effective. Medicare paid for this med at one time, but has not for some time. I recall when Medicare cut carnitine the patients in my then clinic were extremely upset. Most of the patients would sleep during txs and it was the only time I ever saw them wake up and react to something in unison. So, I don't know what carnitine did for them, but apparently it did something for them that they didn't want to do without. I believe they said it gave them more energy. I have read that all dialysis patients are deficient in carnitine so would think it is something all should get.

Thanks Jane , Dori and Bob.
Your replies are all very useful.
I guess we just have to exercise twice as hard as a 'normal' person to keep some muscle mass and fitness. I eat well, probably not enough protein though and usually get in quite a bit of exercise in a day. Maybe it is just getting old like you say Bob. I don't like that idea!!
What I notice is how my energy levels knock off much quicker than they used to. Take kayaking for instance, paddling along just fine and then I can feel myself hitting an invisible wall and I go flat. My buddies, some of whom are most unfit, can just keep going. very frustrating!
Will look into the Carnitine, Dori.beachy (Mel)

i am just happy to see that you have a loving family and are doing well,you deserve nothing but the best!you are special.
I picked the purrrrfect family. I am a smart kitty, I am.
I was FIV+ too and I lived until 18+ years old. Having a loving and caring home like you do will help a lot with your FIV. I was a surrogate mama cat to Tigger, Taylor and Bob. They never got FIV from me. :)
