Metarees are cousins of the notorious Skrees. However, they succeed their cousins in offense, defense, and speed. The metal armor lining the wings makes them invulnerable to all weapons except Super Missiles, the Screw Attack, or attacks from directly under it. At the same time, the streamlined sharp metal points at the tips of their wings give these creatures both a very powerful attack against many organisms, and a much faster dive-bombing velocity. Despite this, these creatures do not self-destruct like some of their cousins do; instead they always burrow into the ground, releasing damaging shrapnel in their surroundings as they use their pair of wings as a digging drill. These burrows can be observed under a Metaree's roosting site. When Samus kills them, they will explode and launch harmful shrapnel identical to the ones they release when they dig.
The beta demo of Metroid Prime shows that the Shriekbats aboard the Frigate Orpheon were originally called Metarees. The Ice Shriekbat was originally called a Hard Shelled Metaree.
- Because of their metal armor, it is possible these creatures are not naturally found in the wild. If so, they could be Skrees that have been artificially enhanced, presumably by Space Pirates.
- The name "Meta" suggests that this is a continuation of technology used for Meta Ridley (if the above theory is true).
- The Metaree shares similarity with the Cyclaw, such as being another stronger variant of the Skree and possibly an artificial bioform as well.

Saral - Transfer Graphite Roll - 12x12ft - Saral Transfer Paper is wax free transfer paper (also known as graphite paper or tracing paper) made for general and specialized use, which allows you to transfer your design from a sketch, pattern, template or free hand to any surface. It makes clean, crisp tracings that can be erased and painted over. It's great for tole painting, fabric painting, fine arts and watercolor painting, quilting, dress making, commercial and graphic arts, architecture, wood working, ceramics, stained glass, metal working and it is acid-free for scrapbooking.
Saral Transfer Paper is wax free so it gives the advantage of erasing like pencil with no smear or smudge. It can be inked or painted over with no skipping or bleeding. The transfer lines can be sponged, washed out or brushed off of fabric, and a hot iron will not set them as will other tracing or transfer papers made for fabrics. Saral is economical and can be used again and again. Saral Comes In 5 Colors.
Graphite: The all-purpose tracing medium. Excellent for illustration board and all drawing papers, wood, fabrics, canvas and metal.
Saral is Certified Non-Toxic. All Saral transfer papers conform to ASTMD-4236 and are certified by The Art & Creative Materials Institute as non-toxic, so they are suitable for use by children, as well as adults.

The Big Box of Colorful Wooden Blocks is rated out of 5 by 11.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Evey from Perfect! I wish I had found these sooner. They are well made and come on a wooden crate that is much easier to play on than carpet and less loud than blocks falling on hardwood floors. I would like to see these in pastels but the various colors are fun and cheerful. Having a larger assortment of shapes makes building more challenging but also more engaging. Storage isn't an issue with these. Even tossed on the base and blocks slide easily under the bed for quick and easy clean up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sarahshust from LOVE THESE BLOCKS! I have 3 boys- a 7,5, and 2 year old and All three of them love these blocks! They never get old. They are made well and hold up to being thrown, chewed on, and handled by the roughest critiques. They are expensive, but honestly this is a toy we'll hold onto even after the kiddos are grown. They are a great go-to when other kids visit and the colors are bright and beautiful so everyone loves them. If it's possible there is an heirloom block, this is it, and we tend to treat these blocks as suck.

Rated 5 out of 5 by amaltheaB from If we only had one toy... ...this would be enough. We bought these for my son two years ago, when he was about nine months old, knowing he was a little bit young. At first, we built beautiful castles ourselves for him to knock down; now, he can spend hours building his own castles. We've added on from the rest of the Grimm Brothers' 4x4 series. The colors are wonderful and stay bright. The blocks are the perfect size for years to come.

Rated 5 out of 5 by laurav from Grimm's Building Blocks My 4 year old received these for Christmas, they are a very good quality, light, well finished, no dents or chipping paint. My 1 year old fell in love with them, he started playing with them right away, then his big brother joined him and they started building these beautiful buildings. I showed him once how to build an arch and since then he started building arches, towers, he spends his quiet time creating all these amazing structures that I had no idea he was able to build. It is expensive but it's worth it. It fosters the imagination more than any plastic construction toy I've seen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by peanut1004 from Amazing Blocks for Young and Old I bought these blocks for my almost 2 year old daughter for Christmas. They are very well made and such a great joy to play with. She loves sitting in the tray and building around herself:) No need to worry about a choking hazard as all of the pieces are a great size. My husband and I even find ourselves building with them when she is not playing with them:)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Redrockmama from We Love Grimm's! This raving review is for Grimm's Wooden Toys in general because the products we purchased for our sons (Rainbow Arches and Colorful Cars) are no longer on the www.landofnod.com website (we got them on sale). After seeing both my 1 year old and 4 year old invent so many ways to play with Grimm's wooden toys, we now make sure we purchase or request something from this line whenever there is a birthday or special occasion. Our favorite aspect of these beautifully stained wooden toys is that the colors match from one product to the next (or the hues are complimentary) so when you purchase additional pieces, you are really adding to a collection that can be used together. We now have around 8 wooden toys in this line and when we get one out, we usually end up playing with all of them because they go so well together. Different shapes and sizes nest and stack so well together that we make building, caves, homes, roads, hills, boats, hats, rockers and castles out of them regularly. We see these as heirloom toys that we will keep for our children's children, and even use displayed around the house or on a coffee table (for adults to play with!) when our children have outgrown them. You can't go wrong purchasing any toys in this line and they are even more beautiful in person. Enjoy!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from love these! My son received these for Christmas from his grandparents and we use them every day. They are beautiful in color and the many shapes and sizes allows for lots of creativity. We use them for all sorts of building. It is one of my favorite toys that he owns and will be in use for years to come.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Best Birthday Party Purchase Ever Absolutely Wonderful! Bought for my 2yr old and opened at his Birthday party. It was a huge hit with him and all his little friends ages 17months to 7yrs old. Bright beautiful colors and tons of great shapes. Great for tower making and puzzles on the table. Very durable to last for many years Love!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Amberella from An Infinite Rainbow of Possibility and Wonder Over-the-top title? Maybe. But I love these blocks as much as my three-year-old daughter. She plays with them more than any other toy she owns--a huge win! Her tower cities are breathtaking feats of whimsical architecture, not that I'm biased or delusional or anything. These blocks are simply gorgeous (don't get me started on the self-supporting arches!), to be handed down from generation to generation in all their glorious developmentally helpful splendor.

Local Artist/Farmer Matt Moore Exhibits at Sundance
A watched pot may never boil, but lettuce will grow before your eyes -- in Matt Moore's world, anyway.
Moore's oddly enchanting videos of vegetables literally coming to life will be shown at the Sundance Frontier, a companion to the better-known film festival coming up later this month. Over on our blog Up on the Sun, arts writer Kathleen Vanesian does a lovely job of describing the whole project and Farmer Moore's own art history. If you want to watch lettuce grow, go here.

Research suggests that visual impressions of natural compared with urban environments facilitate recovery after psychological stress. To test whether auditory stimulation has similar effects, 40 subjects were exposed to sounds from nature or noisy environments after a stressful mental arithmetic task. Skin conductance level (SCL) was used to index sympathetic activation, and high frequency heart rate variability (HF HRV) was used to index parasympathetic activation. Although HF HRV showed no effects, SCL recovery tended to be faster during natural sound than noisy environments. These results suggest that nature sounds facilitate recovery from sympathetic activation after a psychological stressor.
In 1984, Ulrich demonstrated that patients whose windows faced a park recovered faster compared with patients whose windows faced a brick wall [
Previous research in this area has mainly used visual stimuli, for example videos and photographs of nature settings and urban areas [
The autonomic nervous system controls various body functions: the sympathetic branch primarily controls activation and mobilization, and the parasympathetic branch controls restoration and relaxation [
Psychological stress can be elicited by factors such as failure to achieve and marital problems, psychological stress also often has physiological consequences [
The purpose of the present study was to induce psychological stress and compare effects of different sound conditions on the rate of physiological recovery. The sound conditions were chosen so that a pleasant natural sound environment was compared with three less pleasant urban sound environments dominated by noise. To study effects of sound pressure level on physiological recovery, the urban sound conditions had higher, equal, or lower average sound pressure levels than the nature sound. Two measures of physiological stress were used: SCL as an index of sympathetic activity and HF HRV as an index of parasympathetic activity. Physiological recovery is associated with a decrease in sympathetic activation (
Forty university students participated in the experiment (24 women and 18 men, mean age = 27 years). All participants had hearing thresholds lower than 25 dB in their best ear, for all tested frequencies (0.125, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 kHz, Interacoustics Diagnostic Audiometer, model AD226). The listeners received course credit for their participation. Electrocardiogram data were missing from three participants (1 man, 2 women) due to electrode failure.
The experiment consisted of three different parts: (1) One 5-min quiet baseline period, (2) five 2-min periods of testing ("stressor"), and (3) four 4-min periods of relaxation ("recovery") during exposure to one of four experimental sounds.
A 4 × 4 mixed design was used, with sound during relaxation as within subject variable and presentation order of the four sounds as between subject variable (the sounds are described in detail below). The participants were randomly assigned to one of four orders of experimental sounds, using a Latin square matrix.
The stressor was a two minute speeded mental arithmetic task (henceforth "the stress test"). The task was to decide, within 3 s, whether a displayed equation was correct or false. The participants answered by pressing one of two keys on a numeric keyboard. Their responses were evaluated as either "correct", "false" or "too late" (if later than 3 s). Feedback was presented on the screen (correct, false or too late) and through earphones with a specific sound for each type of feedback. The equations consisted of simple arithmetic operations, such as '543−345 = 193'. The first two terms were integers between 2 and 999, and the result of the equation was a positive integer below 1,000 which either was correct or false (correct answer +/− 1–3). The operator could either be addition, subtraction, division or multiplication. Each operator had 250 equations in a database, half correct and half false. Overall performance (percent correct) was continuously updated and displayed to the participants in the upper left corner of the screen.
During each of the four recovery periods, participants were exposed to either a nature sound or a noise. The sound pressure levels of the noises were higher, equal or lower than the sound pressure level of the nature sound. The experimental sounds were selected from a large database of binaural recordings of environmental sounds. The nature sound was chosen to be more pleasant than the three noises, including the ambient noise of lower sound pressure level. The four experimental sounds are described below.
For SCL measurement two electrodes were fitted by the experiment leader to the hypothenar eminence of the non dominant hand. The SCL was measured as the conductance between the two electrodes.
HRV measurements were derived from the electrocardiogram (ECG). Three electrodes were applied by the participant themselves under supervision of the experimenter. The first electrode was positioned five centimeters to the right of the middle of the upper sternum and the other two on the left and right side of the stomach, just below the ribcage. HRV was calculated according to the procedure described by Berntson and by Hejjel & Kelleny [
Participants were informed that the goal of the experiment was to study physiological reactions during a stressful task and that there would be sound presentations during the four minute pauses. The participants were tested individually. They were first asked to wash their hands and were then seated in a soundproof room, where they were given a written description of the experiment. After the participants had given their consent to participate, electrodes were fitted to their bodies. They were then asked to put on a pair of headphones and one trial version of the stress test was completed in order to check the equipment.
During the baseline period, the participants were asked to relax in silence. At the end of the period a prerecorded female voice reminded them that the first stress test was about to begin. After the stress test, the female voice instructed the participants to relax and one of the four experimental sounds was presented. This switch between stress test and recovery was repeated three more times (see
After the experiment, participants listened to the four experimental sounds one more time and assessed the sound's pleasantness, eventfulness, and familiarity on three bipolar category scales. These attributes have been suggested as basic perceptual dimensions of sound environments [
The sounds were recorded with a binaural head and torso simulator Brüel & Kjær type 4100, with two microphones type 4190 and two pre-amplifiers type 2669, one conditioning amplifier NEXUS Brüel & Kjær type 2690 A 0S4 and a calibrator Brüel & Kjær type 4231 plus adapter model 0887. A portable computer Dolch NPAC-Plus P111 with a 6-channel LynxTwo sound card stored the recordings with 24 bit resolution and 48 kHz sampling frequency using Sound Forge 7. Editing and mixing was performed in the same program. In the soundproof room, the signal was fed into a digital filter and D/A-converter, Rane RPM 26z, and was then presented through Sennheiser HD 600 headphones. The whole listening system was calibrated using a pink-noise signal, measured at the point of the listener's ear. The frequency response of the whole listening system was flat within 2 dB, 1/3-octave-band levels, 25−16,000 Hz.
The physiological data were recorded with a Biopac System MP100 at 1000 Hz. SCL was measured with a Biopac GSR100C amplifier and EDA isotonic gel electrodes and ECG was measured with a Biopac ECG100C amplifier and Red Dot™ Ag/AgCl solid gel electrodes.
Both programming and presentation of the mental arithmetic stress task was conducted in Matlab 6.5. The physiological data were analyzed in Matlab, while the HRV power density spectrum (PDS) was computed in ACQ Knowledge 3.91. Statistical analyses were conducted in SPSS 16.
The perceptual assessment of the sounds showed that the nature sound was perceived as more pleasant than the noises (
The ANCOVA showed an interaction between presentation order and sound (F9,105 = 6.851, p = 0.001). This effect reflected general SCL-increase during the experiment. The main effect of sound was significant (F3,105 = 2.731, p = 0.048). Pairwise comparisons (t-tests) showed that mean SCL was lower for Nature than High noise (p = 0.045); however, the differences between Nature and the other two noise conditions did not reach significance (p > 0.05).
In an ANCOVA of sound (4) × time (24, the successive 10 second periods) with baseline as covariate, the interaction between sound and time was significant (F69,2622 = 1.34, p = 0.034). This finding suggests that recovery time for SCL differed among the sound conditions. As
The main purpose of this study was to test whether physiological stress recovery is faster during exposure to pleasant nature sounds than to noise.
The present results suggest that recovery from sympathetic arousal is affected by type of sound (nature sound
The results from SCL are consistent with those of Ulrich
Our study used a small set of environmental sounds of short duration, which limits the generalizability of the results. The nature sound used in the experiment had a relatively high sound pressure level (50 dBA). The effect of natural sound environments on stress recovery may be greater in situations with longer exposure times and with lower sound pressure levels commonly found in recreational and rural areas outside cities. In city parks and other urban outdoor areas, the sound environment is typically a mix of sound from nature sounds and traffic noise. Based on the present results, it seems plausible to speculate that recovery from sympathetic activation in such areas would be less effective than in areas undisturbed by noise.
The present results suggest that after psychological stress, physiological recovery of sympathetic activation is faster during exposure to pleasant nature sounds than to less pleasant noise of lower, similar, or higher sound pressure level.

Tate Liverpool
Leading contemporary artist Doug Aitken's commission for the Sky Arts Ignition Series, presented by Tate Liverpool as part of Liverpool Biennial, will feature filmed conversations with some of the world's most established creative individuals, exploring the roots and realisation of the creative process. It has been revealed that the work will include British actress Tilda Swinton, musician Jack White, the late artist Mike Kelley and architect Jacques Herzog.
Sky Arts Ignition: Doug Aitken – The Source will be Aitken's first public realm installation in theUK, showcasing his pioneering and ambitious approach to public art. Creative visionaries of all ages and backgrounds, working across different art forms, will consider two questions: where does the creative idea start and how is it realised? Participants sharing their thoughts with Aitken will include David Adjaye, Devendra Banhart, Thomas Demand, Liz Diller, William Eggleston, Jacques Herzog, Mike Kelley, Lucky Dragons, James Murphy, Philippe Parreno, Richard Phillips, Jack Pierson,StephenShore, Paolo Soleri, Tilda Swinton, Ryan Trecartin and Jack White.
The Sky Arts Ignition Series launched in 2011, and will enable Sky Arts to back the creation of major new works of art as well as nurture emerging talent. Sky Arts Ignition: Doug Aitken - The Source will be the first project in the series, which will see Sky Arts collaborate with six arts organisations in the creation of brand new works. For each of the chosen projects, Sky Arts will provide a cash investment of up to £200,000 and work with the arts partners to bring their projects to a wider audience, using Sky's platform.
The work will be housed on Liverpool's historic Albert Dock in a temporary pavilion designed in collaboration with British architect David Adjaye OBE. This deliberate separation from the traditional gallery space will create a new creative territory and cultural destination. The pavilion will have a night-time presence, with the work projecting outwards from the structure. Sky Arts Ignition: Doug Aitken – The Source will be the antithesis of long-winded lectures on the arts and will open the artistic process up to the viewer: looking to the future, while engaging individuals whose legacies have shaped contemporary culture. It will be free admission and will open to the public on15 September 2012, continuing to13 January 2013.
Aitken said:
This project is about the roots of creativity. Many of the people in this project are working in very diverse mediums and it's that common thread that I'm interested in. The project is very much about the empowerment of the viewer. I want the installation at Tate Liverpool to be a destination: a place that one can go to and walk into this field of ideas. It will be a celebration of the power of the individual and the forging of a borderless new creative territory – I'm incredibly excited.
James Hunt, director of Sky Arts, commented:
At Sky Arts, it's clear to us just how fascinated people are by the creative process that goes into making works of art," comments . Doug's plan for the first Sky Arts Ignition project really captures that; opening up the creative process and making it more relatable and accessible. That's another thing that we try to do at Sky Arts, and Doug's project fits with that ethos perfectly.

The Amherst men's golf team posted six top-10 finishes in 10 tournaments over its 2005-06 swing. The fall season began with the Duke Nelson Invitational and the Williams Invitational, where Amherst placed 17th and 19th, respectively. At the NESCAC Championships, the team played well and finished in sixth place, while junior Sean Jules earned fifth place individually and first team All-NESCAC honors. The Jeffs finished up the fall with a tie for 22nd at the 71st Annual New England Intercollegiate Golf Association (NEIGA) Championships. Jules led again, with a 78-79-157 to tie for 42nd overall.
Spring opened with the Jeffs' 10th-place showing at the 20th Annual Joseph C. Palamountain Invitational, where junior Andy Bruns led the team shooting 81-81-163 and tied for 29th place. The 33rd Annual Lou Flumere Invitational resulted in two more ties: the team tied for 13th place, and Bruns shared 21st with first-year Chris Valentine. The Williams Invitational saw first-year Will Collins shoot 84, place 38th, and lead Amherst to yet another tie, for ninth, at its spring opener. The season closed with a third-place finish at the Little Three Championships.
The Jeffs bid farewell to graduates David Litt and Keith Zalaski. Litt and Zalaski made great contributions as both team members and co-captains, and led by example in terms of hard work and sportsmanship.
Senior co-captains Jules and Bruns return to lead the Jeffs through a challenging slate. With classmate Drew Russ, they'll form a solid foundation for the team this season. Juniors Jesse Corradi and Judd Olanoff should factor into the scoring for the Jeffs this year, and will be nice additions. Returning sophomores Chris Valentine, Glenn Wong and Will Collins will contribute for the Jeffs this year. And, the team boasts lots of new talent, welcoming rookies Nicholas Sugoi, Michael Kellett, Samuel Swenson, Adam Shniderman and Cornelius Banta, Jr.

No, it's a common complaint. This is one of the ways that Unix systems handle shared library versioning, and it's frequently misconfigured. Your system should have a symlink of libGL.so to libGL.so.1.

Biological therapy for brain and spinal cord cancer
Biological therapy may be used to treat glioblastoma multiforme and some recurrent brain and spinal cord cancer. It is also called biotherapy or biological response modifiers (BRMs).
Biological therapy uses natural or manufactured substances to kill, control or change the behaviour of cancer cells. Different types of biological therapies work in different ways.
Biological therapy may be used to treat glioblastoma multiforme.
Doses and schedules vary from person to person.
Biological therapy drugs
The biological therapy drug used to treat brain and spinal cord cancer is bevacizumab (Avastin).
For more detailed information on specific drugs, go to sources of drug information.
See a list of questions to ask your doctor about biological therapy.
It was very important that the fundraiser be in honour of my uncle, because it's a great way to show our support for him.

Beijing (AFP) Sept 2, 2011
A Chinese property tycoon who is trying to buy a huge swathe of Iceland for a luxury resort said Friday he had been attracted by the country's wilderness and pledged to respect the local environment.
Huang Nubo, a former Chinese official who made his fortune in property, told journalists in Beijing he also hoped to create Europe's biggest nature reserve with the 300 square kilometre (200 square mile) area.
Huang said the land, which he has offered to buy for $10 million, stretched across two separate nature reserves, and that 99 percent of it was wilderness, with the remaining one percent made up of abandoned farmland.
"Using my land to unite these two reserves would create the biggest nature reserve in Europe," said the head of Chinese property company Zhongkun Group, which owns resorts and tourist facilities across China and the world.
Huang said the resort and golf course he wants to build would cover only a small proportion of the land, which he is buying in its entirety because the sellers do not want to divide it.
And he said he would ensure that waste water produced by his project did not pollute the environment.
"Iceland is such a beautiful country I would not think of letting waste water cause underground pollution," he said.
Icelandic Interior Minister Oegmundur Jonasson said earlier that the government would have to consider the future of natural resources such as water on the land in deciding whether to allow the sale.
The land, called Grimsstadir a Fjoellum, is partly owned by Iceland, which suffered a disastrous economic collapse in 2008 when its hugely overstretched banking sector plunged into crisis and its three major banks collapsed.
Icelandic Ambassador Kristin Arnadottir was at Friday's press conference, and said she was in favour of the sale.
"I think we are perhaps going to experience something much more positive now that Iceland is going to become a tourist destination," she said.
China is encouraging companies to invest abroad as part of a strategy to create global firms and use its massive foreign exchange reserves.
Huang confirmed his past history as a government official but denied his company had government support.
The Financial Times, which reported the project this week, said opponents have warned it could give Beijing a strategic foothold in the North Atlantic.
Iceland occupies a strategically important location between Europe and North America and has been touted as a potential hub for Asian cargo should climate change open Arctic waters to shipping.

Iceland receives Chinese request for land purchase: ministry
Reykjavik (AFP) Sept 1, 2011
Iceland's interior ministry said Thursday it had received a request from a Chinese investor and property developer for permission to buy a tract of Icelandic land for a tourist resort. Huang Nubo is seeking an exemption to an Icelandic law that bans the sale of land to citizens outside the European Economic Area (EEA). "This request will be taken into consideration in the ministry, like ... read more

That seems to agree with what Joe Jah said last Thursday. There are
a couple possible reasons for this, relating to some of the score
calculation enhancements introduced in 3.1.0b3.
First of all, there is a memory leak in htsearch, as I mentioned to
Rodger Zeisler this morning. That could chew up a lot of VM, leading
to a lot of paging/swapping. Please try this patch and see what impact
it has on performance.

Secondly, even with this fix, htsearch now reads DocumentRef records from
the docdb for all matches, not just the ones shown on the current page,
so that will cause a lot more disk I/O, especially when a search has a
lot of matches! I'd be interested in hearing from those who've noticed
a substantial performance degradation. (I think Geoff would be too.)
I'm curious how much of that degradation is due to the memory leak,
corrected with the patch above, and how much is due to extra database I/O.
My own database is too small to notice any appreciable difference.
If the degradation is still unacceptable, even with the patch, I've been
toying with a small change that would avoid the extra I/O when you set
date_factor and backlink_factor to 0. You'd lose the scoring enhancements
that way, but you'd also lose the performance hit. If it's worth it,
I'll post a patch - but let me know soon because I'm off on holidays
from Wednesday until the new year.

Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour Hydration
Typically approx. how much more % hydration does stone ground whole wheat flour take than regular whole wheat flour?
Typically approx. how much more % hydration does stone ground whole wheat flour take than regular whole wheat flour?
varies based on type of wheat, variety, and vintage. I've gone over 100% with some and down in the 80s with other hard wheats. starting low for autolyse and adjusting based on consistency is a good way to find your number. Also if you know the grower they may have specs to save you from the testing
that Josh has hit on I agree with and maybe a couple things I will add. First is making sure to do a longer autolyse to make sure that the flour soaks up as much water as it can - I use 4 hours as a minimum. Two start low - say 80% for the autolyse. You can always add more if you dissolve the salt in more water when you add it and squish the dough through your fingers. You can get the feel of the dough that way - after it has autolysed. You can tell pretty quick by feel at that point. Like Josh says whole grain flour can be all over the board and 'green' home milled grain is even more thirsty. For a 100% multi-grain bread with home milled flours, we have been around 91-92%% here lately just to get them to slap and fold half decent and that is 2 slaps to 1 fold :-) But they shape for baskets well If i'm going to pan it ,100% for the same flour isn't too much so it depends on how you are shaping and baking it too.
Hope thos helps John - Hope business goes well.

Still waiting to hear if an eBaghdadBuddy died. For what? All of them… everyone… for what? Who gains WHAT?
By Toby, May 7, 2007 at 10:02 pm Link to this comment
Maybe there's some truth to the religious whacko's shrill screeching. Maybe this earth really does belong to the dark forces. Maybe there really is a Devil and his Disciples are busy rounding up people to offer them up as human sacrifice. And maybe we just don't recognize which side is which.
Maybe the "good" guys are really the bad guys, and visa versa. Maybe those TV preachers dressed in red and black and sitting on a golden thrown work for God alright, but not the one the Cristianists think.
Seems to me there's a scripture somewhere that says, " - gently take you by the hand, and lead you down to Hell."
Maybe that God really is calling the people to repent. Maybe the Christianists just don't understand, that God means them too.
Maybe there really will be an Armageddon, only maybe the only ones saved will be the homeless sleeping on the streets and the beggars on the corners and the refugees driven from one land to another, while no one offers them help or shelter. The poor and the sick and the homeless. Not a pink wig, golden chair or diamond ring in the bunch!
Or, maybe I've just been watching Beelze - oops, I mean Bush for too long.
Having successfully started and lost two wars, and having successfully made fools of a congress who made little ripples about accountability, and having flipped off we the people and having managed to actually increase the level of violence and death and destruction, Bush wants more.
Some people are never satisfied.
Or maybe they just haven't used up all the tin caskets some private contractor somewhere has already been paid to build.
Capitalists always worry about the numbers and the bottom line and the profit/loss statement. People are expendable. Investments need protecting.

Sir do you think we're idiots?
We knew this would be the outcome of a wrong headed, supposed change in strategy.
Now we will tell you that the final outcome will still be our with-drawal, so the Iraqis can fight it out to determine who is going to run that country and what form of government will survive.
I personally predict the post occupation government will be fundementalist, based on the Kuran, administered by the Shiite with close ties to Iran.
Damn, you Generals with the blessings of "The Decider" and his cohorts have done more to damage this country in the last four years than could have ever been imagined.
In the mean time, through your efforts put this country on a steep slope toward bankruptsy, and strengthened the position of the real terrorists.
Holy-shit give these assholes a medal.
What arrogance! What self-serving fools!

Duh, General Lynch, is this your way of announcing your candidacy as a republican presidential candidate? You trying to Out-Dumb 'The Commander'?
Let's see, we send another 30,000-or-so troops into the hell-hole of a civil war our idiot president incited at the urging of his neo-con zionist 'advisors', give them orders to drive around amidst the warring factions and draw 'enemy' fire, so we can 'identify' the 'bad' guys (whom an overwhelming majority of the Iraqi consider 'good' guys for trying to throw 'the Invaders' - that's US - out, or kill them (US)), and 'we expect more casualties'!!??
Let's not file that under 'unintended consequences', let's file it under 'Command Stupidity', and our command stinks from the head.
By Dale Headley, May 7, 2007 at 3:09 pm Link to this comment
Hey, General Lynch has had the decency to let us know in advance that the rate of American casualties in the Bush War will increase; so then, of course, we should all just chill out and not make a big deal about it; that's war! The "Commander guy" is the "decider" about how many young Americans must sacrifice their lives so that he can pose as the great warrior, instead of the craven deserter he actually was.

text: The Notwist made grinding metallic punk after forming in Munich in 1989, but as its members grew up, their tastes broadened and their intellect deepened. They discovered computers and European art-pop, and by 1995, when they released the sprawling 12, they'd begun replacing pounding drums with lively polyrhythmic weaves of electronic blips and light jazz percussion, and dropping guitar heroics in favor of the subtler drama of strings, horns, and modulated white-noise buzz. Last year, the more refined style matured fully and wonderfully on Neon Golden, which is finally available in America. The Notwist's previous stabs at fusing pop, techno, punk, and jazz were dominated by post-adolescent melancholy and petulance. Though Neon Golden obsesses over locked rooms and missed chances, it also acknowledges the pleasures of stasis, the distant possibility of change, and an overall affinity with the "freaks" (cited in the immense, explosive anthem "One With The Freaks") who stay in one place and watch the world go by. Throughout the record, singer-guitarist Markus Acher comes to terms with his blue mood. While he half-whispers his confessions, he also supplies tuneless guitar drones and arranges the atmospheric orchestrations, while his bassist brother Micha provides bounce, drummer Martin Messerschmidt cuts danceable beats into disjointed abstractions, and programmer Martin Gretschmann puts all the random sounds into an ornate frame, channeling chaos into a subtly stunning reflection of the human condition. Like the Acher brothers, David Shouse of The Bloodthirsty Lovers has gone through changes in his musical life. As a co-founder of The Grifters, Shouse began fusing heavy electric blues and lo-fi indie-pop in the late '80s, developing a potent, emotionally overwhelming sound by the time the band broke up in 1998. Shouse kept exploring heartbreak and disillusionment with his next group, Those Bastard Souls, while maintaining a rough-edged garage-rock style. But Shouse was originally a drummer, and for his new one-man band, he amplifies his basement blues with electronic explorations, using technology to vary the percussion. The Bloodthirsty Lovers' self-titled debut uses beats for atmosphere as much as to drive the composition or to get listeners up on their toes. Shouse slows the tempo to a tap-drip on the foggy "Call Off The Thugs," fills the room with thick boom on "2000 Light Years From Home," and experiments with techno-jazz on "Datapunk" and trip-hop on "Transgression #9." Throughout, he holds fast to his gift for stringing together hooky vamps and writing sparse, smartly sad lyrics. He hits his truest mark on "Take The Time," which uses a heavily treated snippet of unidentifiable noise as a bouncy choral counterpoint to the slow, spacey balladry. As Shouse sings about the need for reflection even in the worst of times, his background arrangement of inorganic sounds creates a feeling that's curiously humane.

But whether they will be launching in the UK is another matter.The networks confirmed for the launch are Deutsche Telekom, Etisalat, Smart, Sprint, Telecom Italia, Telefónica and Telenor. OK, Telefónica is an owner of O2, which could indicate a UK launch via that network. But there aren't any firm details for these shores as yet. In fact, the only firm launch is Brazil, with a Telefónica-related network offering the first phones in the early part of next year.In fact, the HTML 5-based platform could initially focus on emerging markets. Mozilla CEO Gary Kovacs commented: 'The introduction of the open mobile OS continues the Mozilla mission to promote openness, innovation and opportunity on the web for users and developers. As billions of users are expected to come online for the first time in the coming years, it is important to deliver a compelling smartphone experience that anyone can use.'Of course, it could also aim at the budget market in more established markets too. Time will tell on this one, especially as we enter 2013, when the first hardware should get its debut at the trade shows.Source: TechRadar

Planet Analog Editor's note: I am very pleased to present two chapters of this book by David J. Agans, with the permission of the publisher, the American Management Association.
Let's be honest and brutal: Debugging is the most challenging of all engineering skills. It's hard to teach, interdisciplinary, usually self-taught through the hard road of experience (sometimes guided by a mentor or senior engineer--though it is rare to find one who has the time, these days), and yet it is the skill which distinguishes the seasoned, valued member of the team from just another hot-shot "designer," and actually lets you release the product and get it out the door. As one of my mentors often said, "any engineer can design, but few can debug."
So when this book came in the mail, I had two thoughts:
Formal courses about debugging are usually too vague, filled with high-level advice, or too focused on specific "war stories" of past elusive bugs and how they were found and overcome. These may make a good or even entertaining read, but they offer little in the way of building an organized strategy and its tactics. This book, in contrast, is a solid course in this critical subject.
We are presenting Chapters 4 and 5, each in three parts, one part per week. For logistical reasons, and due to the tutorial nature of the book, we are posting it on our TechOnline site as part of our technical paper library, as follows:
I hope you'll find these two chapters worth your time. I certainly did--and I wish I had it "back in the day", as they say!

Select Committee on GRAS Substances (SCOGS) Opinion: Gum Tragacanth
The GRAS Substances (SCOGS) Database allows access to opinions and conclusions from 115 SCOGS reports published between 1972-1980 on the safety of over 370 Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) food substances. The GRAS ingredient reviews were conducted by the Select Committee in response to a 1969 White House directive by President Richard M. Nixon.
Gum Tragacanth
- SCOGS-Report Number: 4*
- Type Of Conclusion: 2
- ID Code: 9000-65-1
- Year: 1972
- 21 CFR Section: 184.1351
SCOGS Opinion:
Since uncertainties exist with respect to the prevalence of allergies to gum tragacanth, additional experiments should be undertaken to evaluate the significance of its allergenic effects. A statistically-significant survey, conducted by practicing allergists, would help to determine whether significant numbers of persons are being placed in a state of receptiveness to cross -reactive allergies based upon lifelong daily exposures to gum tragacanth and the other two gums alleged to be allergenic-gum arabic and karaya gum.
Gum tragacanth, fed at relatively high levels, is reorted to be toxic to pregnant animals of some species; hence, it may be advisable, in due course, to conduct feeding studies in several animal species, including pregnant animals, at dosage levels that approximate and exceed the current estimated maximum daily human intake.
The Select Committee has weighed the foregoing and concludes that:
The available information contains no evidence demonstrating that gum tragacanth constitues a hazard to the public when used in the manner and quantity now practiced.
*Complete reports containing details of the safety studies that formed the basis of the opinions and conclusions and are available from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, VA 22161 (703) 605-6000.

An ordinance similar to the one adopted by the Washington City Council will serve as a starting point for St. Clair as it starts working toward possibly adopting some kind of public smoking ban within the city limits.
The board of aldermen agreed to study Washington's ordinance and subsequent amendment adopted about a year ago and directed City Attorney Kurt Voss to draft a law with similar language for St. Clair.
The action came during the board's Monday meeting.
"I'd like you to take this information with you and review it," Mayor Ron Blum told the aldermen during their meeting. "If you want to discuss it tonight, that's fine. We just need some direction from the board as which way you want to go."
Also included was information about other communities that have gone smoke-free.
The no-smoking ordinance has been a board topic for three consecutive meetings. Blum first suggested the aldermen consider adopting one in early April.
At that time, he said he had been approached by several individuals asking that the city adopt some kind of no-smoking law.
"I've been asked to make a presentation to the board," the mayor said last month.
Blum also suggested that when the aldermen are satisfied with a draft ordinance, whatever it ends up entailing, the city first conduct a public hearing before any law is approved.
"Our thoughts were to include a public hearing to give people a chance to speak out," the mayor said. "We want to get as much information as possible before we make a final decision."
Blum also said that he believes a public hearing is the best way to go as far as involving city residents. The measure also could be placed on a local ballot.
"But, we haven't had high voter turnout," Blum said. "Hardly anyone has come out to vote in the last several elections."
Ward 1 Alderman Zach Fuchs agreed.
"We need to have the public be a part of this," he said.
Blum said the process will be for Voss to draft an ordinance for the aldermen to review. When the board is happy with the language, it will schedule a public hearing.
After public comment is gathered, the aldermen will consider any changes and then will vote to approve or disapprove.
"I say let's move forward," Ward 1 Alderman Nathan Tate said.
The other aldermen agreed.
The plan is for Voss to have a draft ordinance ready by the May 19 meeting.
During previous board meetings, aldermen have not taken a position on the smoking issue. Tate has said that he also has been approached by residents and business owners about it, however.
Tate also suggested last month the discussion wait until new Ward 2 Alderman Greg Talleur had been seated so he could be involved in the process from the beginning.
Talleur took the oath of office on April 21 and took his seat as a member of the board during the meeting.
Currently, the city of Washington has a no-smoking policy in place. It was approved in January 2013 and took effect about a year ago. It prohibits smoking in restaurants, bars, businesses, workplaces and other public places in that city.
The measure unanimously was approved by city council members.
The introduction states that it is an ordinance "adopting provisions to prohibit smoking in indoor workplaces and public places, hereby known as the Washington Smoke-Free Air Act of 2013."
An amendment to the ordinance was passed a few weeks later. It amended language centering on what an enclosed area is and what a smoking shelter means.

Pelvic floor muscle training exercises are a series of exercises designed to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor.
Kegel exercises
Pelvic floor muscle training exercises are recommended for:
Pelvic floor muscle training exercises can help strengthen the muscles under the uterus, bladder, and bowel (large intestine). They can help both men and women who have problems with urine leakage or bowel control.
A pelvic floor muscle training exercise is like pretending that you have to urinate, and then holding it. You relax and tighten the muscles that control urine flow. It is important to find the right muscles to tighten.
The next time you have to urinate, start to go and then stop. Feel the muscles in your vagina, bladder, or anus get tight and move up. These are the pelvic floor muscles. If you feel them tighten, you have done the exercise right.
If you are still not sure whether you are tightening the right muscles, keep in mind that all of the muscles of the pelvic floor relax and contract at the same time. Because these muscles control the bladder, rectum, and vagina, the following tips may help:
It is very important that you keep the following muscles relaxed while doing pelvic floor muscle training exercises:
A woman can also strengthen these muscles by using a vaginal cone, which is a weighted device that is inserted into the vagina. Then you try to tighten the pelvic floor muscles to hold the device in place.
If you are unsure whether you are doing the pelvic floor muscle training correctly, you can use biofeedback and electrical stimulation to help find the correct muscle group to work.
You can do these exercises at any time and place. Most people prefer to do the exercises while lying down or sitting in a chair. After 4 to 6 weeks, most people notice some improvement. It may take as long as 3 months to see a major change.
After a couple of weeks, you can also try doing a single pelvic floor contraction at times when you are likely to leak (for example, while getting out of a chair).
A word of caution: Some people feel that they can speed up the progress by increasing the number of repetitions and the frequency of exercises. However, over-exercising can instead cause muscle fatigue and increase urine leakage.
If you feel any discomfort in your abdomen or back while doing these exercises, you are probably doing them wrong. Breathe deeply and relax your body when you do these exercises. Make sure you are not tightening your stomach, thigh, buttock, or chest muscles.
When done the right way, pelvic floor muscle exercises have been shown to be very effective at improving urinary continence.

This may be done by submitting a syllabus or a course description photocopied from a school bulletin. A syllabus is preferable. Please send materials to Carol Massat | email: email@example.com .
- Evidence of successful completion of one course in statistics.

Nausea Remedies
Nausea...it's something that we have all been through. In fact, there are a lot of different things out there that can cause nausea. Sometimes it could be something that you ate. Other times it could be because you are sick. Either way, most people will have to deal with nausea at some point during their life. The good news is that there are ways to stop nausea.This is not a feeling that you just have to live with. Of course, the best nausea treatment is going to depend on what is causing your nausea in the first place. Today we will talk about a few home remedies for nausea that you might want to try!
Before we jump into ways on how to settle your stomach, we need to talk about what kind of people get nausea. The truth of the matter is, a lot of people will have nausea at some point in their life. Whether it is because you ate too much or you got stick on a roller coater, you will have to deal with nausea at some point. Thus, people of all ages can get nausea. Not only that, but men and women get it about the same. People who live better lifestyles, as far as getting enough rest and eating right, have nausea less often.
Nausea symptoms are pretty easy to spot in people. However, it is even easier for the person that is having the nausea to spot. You are going to start feeling sick to your stomach. Sometimes, it may even feel like you are going to vomit. Most of the time, this is going to be brought on by some kind of trigger. Whether it was food or some kind of physical activity you where in, some kind of trigger started it. Do keep in mind that, when you get sick, you are likely to feel nausea as well. Thus, it can be hard at times to find out just what is causing your nausea. If you are not sure, then you should go see your doctor.
If you are not sure what is causing your nausea, then you should go in to see your doctor. The main goal of your doctor is to find out what is causing your nausea. He is going to look for things like headaches and inner ear infections. These can sometimes throw off your body's balance and give you nausea. Not only that, but your doctor is going to want to know if you are on any kinds of medications. After all, certain medications can cause nausea. From there, he will check the toxic level in your blood. This includes how much nicotine and alcohol you have taken in. Also, you should note that taking too many antibiotics can cause nausea as well, meaning that, if you have taken a lot of any of the things that we just talked about, that could be the main cause of your nausea. Last, but not least, if you have diabetes, then you may have a nausea feeling more often than other people. This is normally not anything to worry about.
Treatment for nausea comes in many different forms. There are certain medications that you can take that will help you get over your nausea. Some of these medications can be bought right over the counter and do not cost too much either. Other than that, the best way to stop your nausea is to kill it at the source, meaning that you have to find out what is causing your nausea, and then fix it.
Home Remedies
If you are having nausea and you do not want to take medications, then there are some home remedies for nausea that you might want to try. The first nausea home remedy that you may want to try is just to take it easy. Do not do too much work, because this can just make your nausea that much worse. Next, be sure that you stay hydrated. Even if you cannot drink a lot, be sure to suck on some ice chips. You may even want to drink things like ginger ale and other things that are easy on your stomach. Do note that drinking too many liquids can make your nausea worse. You should also avoid cooking if you can. They say that the smell of food can really turn your stomach upside down. This is because your stomach starts to think that you are eating that, whether you are or not. If you do eat, it needs to be very bland foods. Things like rice and cereal are the best. Avoid things like spicy foods. Last, but not least, try to avoid motion sickness. Riding in a car is never a good idea for nausea.
Although nausea is not the worst thing in the world, it is not fun to mess with. That is why people are always looking for ways to get rid of their nausea. Finding the nausea treatment that is right for you is as easy as finding out what is causing your nausea. After all, nausea is a common symptom of many sicknesses.

Saturday IMSA Road America Notebook
Posted by: newsla on Aug 10, 2014 - 06:11 AM
Saturday IMSA Road America Notebook
For the first time this season, the No. 01 car finished No. 1.
On a sun-splashed Saturday afternoon at Road America, good fortune shone-down on Lawson Aschenbach, who grabbed the lead when Pierre Kleinubingâs car sputtered about a third of a mile from the finish line and went on to win Round 9 of the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge at Road America.
âI think I was screaming on the radio as I crossed the finish line, âWe just won this race,ââ said Aschenbach, who co-drove the CKS Autosport Camaro Z/28.R with Eric Curran.
It did not look as if the day would end for Aschenbach and Curran on the top step of the podium. The two-hour, 30-minute race was slowed by a number of yellow flags, the last of which grouped the field behind Kleinubing with just minutes remaining.
When the race was green-flagged for a final lap dash to the finish, Kleinubing and Aschenbach ran by side-by-side through a number of Road Americaâs 14 turns. While exiting the final turn, Kleinubing, who shared the driving duties in the No. 76 Compass360 Racing Suburu WRX STI with Ray Mason, slowed and pulled to the right-hand side of the straightaway up the hill.
âSomething happened in the drivetrain, the rear differential,â said Kleinubing, who settled for third place. âThe wheels were just spinning. I had nothing.â
Aschenbach sped past and was followed by Robin Liddell, who climbed back from 16th place, the result of a penalty for speeding in pit lane, to finish second.
âI think (second place) tells you how angry I was about the penalty,â said Liddell, who co-drove the No. 6 Stevenson Motorsports Camaro Z/28.R with Andrew Davis. âI was so angry ⦠I got up as far up the grid as fast as possible.â
The Street Tuner class was won by Terry Borcheller and Mike LaMarra in the No. 23 Burton Racing BMW 128i.
âWeâve struggled all year, but I kind of had the feeling (of a good race) in practice,â said Borcheller. âIt felt like the car was so good. We hit it so good, the set-up, the power and Mikeâs opening stint in the car.â
Will Nonnamaker and Wayne Nonnamaker (Team Sahlen/Porsche Cayman) finished second and Cody Ellsworth and John Weisberg (BERG Racing/Porsche Cayman) were third.
Continental Tire, IMSA Extend Partnership
The multi-year partnership of Continental Tire and the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA) has been extended through 2018, the tire-maker and sports car racing sanctioning body announced Saturday at Road America.
Continental Tire will continue as the official tire of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, as part of the extension.
âWe are extremely proud to continue our partnership with IMSA,â said Travis Roffler, director of marketing for Continental Tire. âWe are committed to the growth and success of sports car racing in America and we are happy to continue our dedication to giving drivers, teams and manufacturers a tire with the best technologies that they can depend on every lap.â
Continental Tire also will continue as the exclusive tire supplier and sponsor to the Prototype (P), Prototype Challenge (PC) and Grand Touring Daytona (GTD) classes, and as the entitlement sponsor and exclusive tire supplier to the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge (CTSCC). The GT Le Mans (GTLM) class in the TUDOR Championship will continue to be open to competition from multiple tire manufacturers.
âAs we continue to build the TUDOR United Sports Car Championship and Continental SportsCar Challenge, it is vital to have enthusiast partners to help us grow the sport,â said IMSA CEDO, Ed Bennett. âContinental Tire has been and will continue to be one of our most active and supportive partners.â
Circuitous Route To Co-Driving
Last August at Road America, Scott Sharp and Ryan Dalziel were in the same paddock, but in different series.
This year at Road America, Sharp and Dalziel are not just in the same paddock, but in the same series and as teammates -- the duo co-drives the Extreme Speed Motorsports No. 1 Tequila Patrón Honda HPD ARX-03b.
Months prior to the 2014 debut of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón and the GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series both competed at Road America on the same weekend at the same venue for the first and only time.
Dalziel, driving in the GRAND-AM Daytona Prototype class, finished 14th. A day later, Sharp, competing in the ALMS Prototype class, finished second in class and overall.
Both drivers have experienced success at the Elkhart Lake race track in recent years. Sharp was the Prototype class runner-up in 2013 and was the GT third-place finisher in 2012. Dalziel, meanwhile, was the GRAND-AM race runner-up in 2012.
