Houston (UPI) Dec 27, 2011
An unwelcome visitor in the form of an invasive giant prawn has scientists saying they are worried for the future of the Gulf of Mexico's ecosystem.
The Asian tiger prawn, which can grow to a foot long, with a voracious appetite and an unfortunate tendency to carry disease, has invaded the northern gulf and could be a threat native species from crabs and oysters to smaller brown and white shrimp, researchers said.
"It has the potential to be real ugly," Leslie Hartman, Matagorda Bay ecosystem leader for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, told the Houston Chronicle. "But we just do not know."
Native to the western Pacific, tiger prawns have been showing up along the Gulf Coast since 2006, but this year saw a huge increase in their numbers, researchers said.
Their presence raises concerns about large-scale aquaculture in the gulf, since tiger prawns carry at least 16 viruses, such as white spot, which can be lethal to other shrimp.
"We need to be really, really cautious," George Leonard, who leads the Ocean Conservancy's aquaculture program, said.
Tiger prawns eat the same types of food as native shrimp species but will also prey on their smaller cousins, as well as on crabs and young oysters, researchers said.
"It's a large, competitive species," Tony Reisenger of the Texas Sea Grant program at Texas A&M University said.

Thirteen Years Later
Zekk turned from the food prep unit as the exuberant ball of energy plowed into him with a hug, her red hair flying every which way. He chuckled, catching her, and ensuring she didn't knock their dinner all over the counter. "Well hello to you too, sweetie."
Allana pushed her hair from her face, looking up at him with two toned eyes caught somewhere between emerald and shadow, a wide grin on her face. "You won't believe who called me pretty today!"
Zekk arched his eyebrows. His daughter was fifteen now, a dangerous time; and one where she was starting to notice boys. "Who?"
"Ben Skywalker!" She squealed, wrapping her arms about her waist and spinning in a circle.
Zekk's face darkened. Ben and Allana had been friends for years, Ben going so far as to help with her training and pitch in to help her study. It had led to Allana having a crush on her tutor - Ben was also several years her senior. "He's a little old for you, Allana."
"I know." Her grin wasn't diminished at all despite the fact. She'd grown into a bundle of energy with no regard for discretion. She was her mother's daughter; speaking her mind and didn't care about what everyone else thought of her. It helped her in many areas, especially with her Jedi Training. Thanks to Zekk's guidance she also believed there was nothing she couldn't achieve if she worked hard enough for it. "But he's not that much older; and I won't be a kid forever!"
Zekk watched her spin excitedly around the room, a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach and suddenly he knew what Corran had gone through.
Ben Skywalker.
Oh boy.
Notes: Don't ask me where the idea for this bunny came from; I haven't a clue. It just bit me one day - and hard at that - and begged to be written above all else.

Oh, and yes, there's an e-mail chapter, since what Zekk remembers isn't suitable for site. Remember - you have to be over 18 to get it! e-mail: if you want it :)

text: It had promised to be a redemptory afternoon for the people of Cheam, Greater London, who had learned in the morning that the BBC was tipping for victory in the big race at Brighton a horse called Cheam Forever. True, Evan Davis greeted this forecast with a radiophonic raised eyebrow, hesitatingly identifying Cheam first as a town in Surrey and then as a school near Newbury. But Cheam is used to such treatment. It is one of those places – Swindon and Slough, both mocked in The Office, and Wigan are conspicuous others – any mention of which tends to promote a snigger. The obloquy here has little to do with the quality of the town (which prefers to think of itself as a village) and everything to do with the radio classic, Hancock's Half Hour. Say "Cheam" to those who don't know it, and they promptly exclaim: "Railway Cuttings!", "East Cheam!", "Tony Hancock!". There is, in fact, no such place as East Cheam, but the image of Hancock and friends mired in the very sump of suburban boredom has stuck to the place ever since. So there must have been hope there that the BBC would be glorying this morning in the success of the steed that Today had selected. But some malign circumstance – perhaps the weight of the BBC tipsters' endorsement – denied it this moment of glory. Cheam Forever ("weakened in final furlong") was seventh of 12. It is a small consolation perhaps that a rival contender named Buxton – a place that is never sneered at – did not even reach the starting post.

Texas Motor Speedway president Eddie Gossage billed Sunday's race as a heavyweight bout between Carl Edwards and Tony Stewart. And a funny thing happened: That's exactly what he got, with Stewart finishing first, Edwards second. Still, desipte four wins in the Chase, Stewart still trails Edwards. Should he?
NEUTRAL: This has been a bit of a touchy subject this week after Stewart recorded yet another win Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway. Stewart, now with four wins in eight Chase races, still doesn't lead the NASCAR Sprint Cup point standings.
The question is: should he?
Stewart, naturally, had his own opinion after the Texas win.
"I'm going to be real disappointed if people are trying to make a story out of a guy that's got four wins isn't leading the points," Stewart said. "It's about 10 weeks. You got to be good for 10 weeks."
Stewart, as it has played, has been pretty good for the first eight of those 10 weeks. His only derailments so far have been a 25th at Dover in the third race of the Chase and a 15th the next at Kansas. Otherwise, it's been four wins and six top-10 finishes.
Edwards has been slightly better on the average, scoring just one of his eight finishes outside of the the top 10. But Edwards doesn't have a win and his lead at the start of the Chase over Stewart was a mere three points.
Knowing all of that, I'd like to analyze this from the perspective a non-racing fan who is compelled to watch NASCAR late in the season. This fan is the same one who will religiously watch any postseason tournament in any major sports category.
Do you think that person would be a little shocked to know Tony Stewart has won 50 percent of the playoff races, yet hasn't sniffed the alpha spot in the NASCAR standings? I know it would, as friends of mine who carry that type of fandom have responded that way. {ysp:more}
Those fans aren't the only ones NASCAR is appealing to, however. If you recall, there was a heavy flavor of disdain among traditionalists when the Chase was implemented in 2004. Many cried that it rewarded one-off wonders who got hot during a 10-race stretch while alienating drivers who churned out quality finishes in the season's early stretches.
Now, the Chase is much the same in a condensed scale. Edwards has been a beacon of consistency, while Stewart has been seriously hot and moderately cold.
Comparing other sports is hard to do, but is remotely possible. Sure, the New England Patriots were undefeated going to the Super Bowl in 2009 but that didn't give them a points advantage when they kicked off with the New York Giants. It's the same thing in sports with multiple-game playoff series.
I happen to mostly like NASCAR's current championship system. The new points system has been a curveball, but overall welcome. My only fix? Let's make winning worth a bit more — five points or so.
Tony Stewart's four wins shouldn't guarantee him the title. But they should at least give him the lead of the points over a guy who has yet to win.
Let's jump into a, uh, ho-hum weekend in the Lone Star State.
NOT: First, I'll say it: Kyle Busch's retaliation was uncalled for and reprehensible. The punishment he received was deserving. The punishment he received should be enough of a wake-up call. He doesn't need more.
NEUTRAL: Just in case you're wondering, using last year's point system Tony Stewart would have a 14-point lead over Carl Edwards after Texas.
HOT: Congratulations, Trevor Bayne, for the Nationwide Series win. It was a great move by the Daytona 500 winner to slide past Carl Edwards on the restart, and then holding off Denny Hamlin was no easy task. It's fun to see good people be successful.
NOT: David Reutimann was a victim of business last week when he was let go from his Michael Waltrip Racing ride for 2012. When a friend and mentor does that to you, it's easy to understand how upset he was.
Still, David Reutimann handled the event with the class that David Reutimann would. Someone get him a ride.
HOT: Richard Petty Motorsports and Red Bull Racing continue to show late-season strength. Isn't it a bit refreshing to see some new faces near the front?
NEUTRAL: Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 6th and 7th, respectively, Sunday at Texas. Earnhardt's finish was his best in Fort Worth since a fourth-place run in 2004 and Gordon's was a big improvement over his 23rd-place run in the spring at Texas.
FINAL: It'd be nice to go a race weekend without a tragedy. As mentioned on ESPN, a stunt motorcycle rider was killed during a practice run at the Boost Mobile sponsor display Sunday morning at TMS. Let's all offer our thoughts to his family and friends.

I haven't actually used m0n0wall's traffic shaper yet, but seeing the
rule you used it I *think* I know why it seems to be ignored.
Try setting the Port right after the Source to "any" aswell. I'm
guessing this will work as your problem seems that you assume that
clients initiate ftp connections *from* the ftp ports aswell as *to*
them, which isn't the case usually.
Again, this might not work either, just seemed like an more or less
obvious thing to try.
Good luck.

Sennacherib's invasion: Hezekiah's sickness unto death: the Babylonian captivity
Chapters 36-39 relate the history of the invasion of Sennacherib, its result, and the sickness unto death of Hezekiah, which preceded it: an instruction for the remnant as to the manner in which the Lord should be waited on (this deliverance being, as to the substance of it, a figure of that which will take place with respect to the Assyrian in the last days). The sickness of Hezekiah furnishes us with a type of the Son of David as raised from the dead -- the power of Christ, which shall be perfected in a nation raised also -- morally -- from the dead, all their sins being pardoned. It is the outward and inward deliverance of Israel: resurrection (as to its practical power); and deliverance from the Assyrian. Meanwhile, as a present thing, the captivity in Babylon is announced.
The second part of Isaiah: Israel's moral history
Previously to this, we have rather had the outward history of Israel; but now we have their moral or inward history, in their place of testimony against idolatry, and in their relationship with Christ, and the separation of a remnant . [1]

Houston Social Source Pheromone Party Take 2!
(45 and younger)
February 8, 2013
Nouveau Antique Art Bar
2913 Main St
Houston TX 77002
The best first dates start in the dirtiest way.
What would you do in order to know you connected with another human being on a level that nature intended you to attract? All it takes is a dirty t-shirt and an open mind – and an open nose. We are talking pheromones, folks. The naturally occurring chemical substances that trigger specific mating responses and are the force behind the animal kingdom's social behavior, influencing how we develop, bond, procreate and nurture each other.
Pheromones don't have an odor and are sensed by an organ in the nasal passage that transmits a message to the brain.
This is where the dirty t-shirt and party come in. The t-shirt absorbs your pheromones which are unmasked by deodorants and artificial fragrances. This "dirty" t-shirt then lives in a plastic sealable bag until the party where other humans bring their bagged pheromone shirts as well. Unleash your animal instincts and mix, mingle and sniff.
It's a lot of fun and is taking NYC and LA by storm. The goal of the party is to pair up those whose pheromones attracted and let nature take its course from there. HSS presents its second Pheromone Party at the Nouveau Art Bar in downtown with partner, Amber Rountree Neal. The elegant yet unpretentious atmosphere is the perfect canvas for this trend-setting party.
* Party starts at 7pm and ends at 10pm
* Plenty of parking on the street and in lot
* Meet one of Houston's top matchmakers and Pheromone party co-host Amber Rountree Neal
This event is free for HSS members and only $15 for guests in advance and $20 at the door. Not a member? Not to worry, just visit http://www.TheHoustonSocialSource.com and see what we have in store for you! If you are not a member call 713 630 0546 or email email@example.com to RSVP.

History of the Ross Dependency
The Ross Dependency is the wedge-shaped part of Antarctica claimed by New Zealand. It is over 3000 kilometres south of New Zealand and takes in Ross Island, the Ross Sea, the Ross Ice Shelf, the Transantarctic Mountains and part of the continent extending to the South Pole.
Captain Cook's expedition in 1773 circumnavigated Antarctica in two tiny ships and although he suspected land existed, he did not sight it. The Russian Bellinghausen also explored below 60° S and is thought to be the first to sight land in 1821.
Early explorers' efforts were directed at reaching the South Magnetic Pole. The British naval officer James Ross led an expedition which in 1841 found a way through the ice of the Ross Sea and discovered the Ross Ice Shelf. They landed on Possession Island and mapped some of the coastline and islands. They observed Mount Erebus but could not find a safe place for the ships to winter-over so did not stay long enough to explore further.
The explorers' accounts of whales and seals stimulated interest
in trips to Antarctica and the Southern Ocean and it was whalers
and sealers who were the most frequent visitors to the area
for many years.
The first scientific expedition to stay on the Antarctic continent was led by a Norwegian-born Australian called Borchgrevink in 1899. Huts were erected for the team to winter- over and sledging trips with dogs were made. Magnetic observations and a meteorological record were taken, and new zoological discoveries were made. Primus stoves and dehydrated vegetables were used for the first time on this expedition.
A more ambitious expedition was planned by the British, led by Scott in the ship Discovery. A building was erected at Hut Point, near present-day McMurdo Station, and the Discovery was frozen in for the winters of 1902 and 1903.
The party made important scientific observations and undertook exploratory trips man-hauling sledges over the ice in addition to dog sledging trips. An attempt was made to reach the South Pole by Scott, Wilson and Shackleton. The dogs did not perform well, their food supplies were insufficient and Shackleton suffered badly from scurvy. They turned back at 82° 16' south. Other journeys, including the first trip onto the ice cap and exploration of the Ferrar Glacier, were made in the two years of the expedition.
Shackleton returned with his own expedition in 1908 determined to reach the South Pole. He headed south from Lyttelton aboard the Nimrod, which was towed to just north of the Antarctic Circle by another ship. Shackleton also took ponies, a 15 hp motor car and plenty of dried vegetables in the hope of preventing scurvy.
The party erected a pre-fabricated hut at Cape Royds. Six men climbed Mount Erebus and short sledging trips were undertaken in preparation for the journey to the South Pole. In October four men set out with ponies, which were not particularly successful at crossing crevasses! One was lost and the remainder shot and cached for food. Food supplies dwindled and with only 180 kilometres to go they decided to turn back. They had walked a total of 2730 kilometres.
A second party had meanwhile reached the South Magnetic Pole for the first time by man-hauling sledges. It was an incredible feat of endurance by Edgeworth David, Mawson and MacKay which took 122 days and covered 2000 kilometres. It is still considered one of the great sledging trips undertaken in the Ross Sea region.
Scott still wanted to be the first to reach the South Pole and claim it for Britain. He returned to Antarctica in 1911 in the ship the Terra Nova, with ponies, dogs, three crawler tractors and a huge quantity of stores; including one tonne of oatmeal, 17 tonnes of flour and 6 tonnes of dog biscuits. New Zealand contributed 600 tonnes of coal, 180 sheep and 1585 kilograms of butter.
They erected a building for over-wintering at Cape Evans and began laying depots for the South Pole trip as well as making scientific observations. In the following spring, Scott and his party set off. Ponies and dogs pulled sledges with supplies as part of the support team. The tractors were abandoned after continually breaking down. The final group man-hauled the sledges towards the South Pole.
Exhausted by the cold, inadequate food and the physically demanding work, Scott, Wilson, Oates, Evans and Bowers reached the South Pole only to find a Norwegian party led by Roald Amundsen had beaten them. They were bitterly disappointed. Evans died early on the return journey and Oates developed severe frostbite. All were weak and sick. They pitched camp in a blizzard on about March 16, 1912 and Oates made his now-famous remark as he left the tent, " I am just going outside, and may be some time." His companions struggled on for a few more days trying to reach the next food depot in appalling weather conditions. They failed to reach the depot and died when their fuel and food ran out on 31 March 1912.
Amundsen, unlike Scott, was an experienced polar explorer and meticulous in his preparations. He chose a shorter route to the South Pole from the Bay of Whales and was competent in his use of dogs and skis.
He had lighter equipment and better food.
One other major feat of exploration remained - the crossing of the continent. Shackleton returned to Antarctica with this ambition in 1914 with two parties and two ships. One party went to the Ross Sea side to begin laying depots. Shackleton with the main party was to begin the crossing from the Weddell Sea.
The entire expedition was a disaster. Shackleton's ship, the Endurance, was crushed by ice in the Weddell Sea, forcing the crew to camp on ice floes and then make an epic journey in an open boat to get help. The Ross Sea party's ship, the Aurora, was blown out to sea in a blizzard and went back to New Zealand, marooning the depot-laying party for two winters on Ross Island without adequate supplies. Both parties were eventually rescued after incredible survival stories and without achieving their goal.
This was the last major land-based exploration of the so-called "heroic era" in what is now the Ross Dependency.
The huts left be these explorers still stand and the Antarctic Heritage Trust has taken on the job of conserving the buildings and their contents, largely preserved by the cold, dry air.
The United Kingdom officially declared its claim to the Ross
Dependency in 1923 when whalers became interested in the Ross
Sea region. Whale stocks in the Antarctic Peninsula area had
been exhausted and new hunting grounds were sought. Britain's
claim was based on the discoveries by Ross in 1841 and by
Scott and Shackleton in 1902-03, 1908-09 and 1911-12. The
Dependency's administration was handed over to New Zealand
through an official Order-in-Council. The New Zealand Government
found itself in charge of a large part of Antarctica and benefited
from whaling licence fees until 1928.
A new era of exploration began in 1928 when flights were first made over Antarctica by Hubert Wilkins, an Australian. Richard Byrd, an American, established a large base at the Bay of Whales near the Ross Ice Shelf and made many more flights with three aircraft, discovering new mountains and flying over the Pole for the first time. Dog sledging trips were also made. Much valuable scientific work was done on Byrd's subsequent expeditions. He also encouraged US Government involvement in Antarctica, and cold-climate training was undertaken by the military there in 1946.
An intensive phase of exploration began in 1955-56. A base (later named McMurdo Station) was established on Ross Island near Scott's hut. Scott Base was built by the New Zealand Government the following summer and in 1957-58, the International Geophysical Year, valuable research was begun in an atmosphere of co-operation which eventually led to the formation of the Antarctic Treaty.
Sir Edmund Hillary, leader at Scott Base at the time, became
the first person to drive to the South Pole. He used converted
farm tractors. His team laid depots for the Commonwealth Transantarctic
Expedition, led by Vivian Fuchs, which crossed the continent
for the first time in 1958.
Other remarkable expeditions have since crossed Antarctica. Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Charles Burton and Oliver Shepard crossed Antarctica via the South Pole during their circumnavigation of the earth via both poles. The journey took 67 days and despite the advantages of motorised skidoos, it was still an arduous and dangerous challenge.
Reinhold Messner (an Italian) and Arved Fuchs (a German) crossed Antarctica in 92 days hauling plastic sledges in 1989-90. They had only one resupply depot - on the first leg to the South Pole.
The fourth crossing of the continent was completed by American Will Steger and his party in 1990. Seventy six years after Shackleton's attempt, Steger's party was the first to complete the journey using dogs.
They also made the longest trip - 6400 kilometres compared with 3470 kilometres of the first party.
Fiennes and Dr Michael Stroud made the first unsupported crossing of Antarctica in 1992.
The difficulty of these modern journeys, even with lightweight
equipment and modern means of communication, is a testament
to the incredible vision and physical and mental ability of
the explorers of the "heroic era."

The objective of this study was to elucidate the cytotoxic mechanism of Compound K, with respect to the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the mitochondrial involved apoptosis, in HT-29 human colon cancer cells. Compound K exhibited a concentration of 50% growth inhibition (IC50) at 20 μg/mL and cytotoxicity in a time dependent manner. Compound K produced intracellular ROS in a time dependent fashion; however,
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the by-products of normal cellular oxidative processes, and are mainly generated in the mitochondria. They attack lipid membranes, proteins, and DNA, leading to serious cell damage, and regulate apoptotic signal transduction [
Compound K is an active metabolite of ginsenosides and exhibits anti-tumor effects against various types of cancer cells [
Such increases in intracellular ROS cause loss of mitochondria membrane permeability, resulting in the induction of apoptosis [
Various studies have suggested a possible mechanism for the JNK and p38 MAPK pathway, as related to mitochondrial depolarization and apoptosis induction [
Compound K was provided by professor Dong Hyun Kim (Kyung Hee University, Seoul, Korea). [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium] bromide (MTT), 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCF-DA),
Human colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29) and normal colon cells (FHC), from the American type culture collection (Rockville, MD, USA), were maintained at 37 °C in an incubator with a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 and cultured in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum, streptomycin (100 μg/mL), and penicillin (100 units/mL).
The effect of Compound K on the viability of the cells was determined by the MTT assay, which is based on the reduction of a tetrazolium salt by mitochondrial succinatedehydrogenase in viable cells [
The DCF-DA method was used to detect the levels of intracellular ROS [
The amount of apoptotic sub-G1 hypodiploid cells was determined by flow cytometry [
Cells were stained with JC-1 (10 μg/mL), and were then analyzed using flow cytometry [
Harvested cells were washed in PBS, lysed in a lysis buffer [120 mM NaCl, 40 mM Tris (pH 8), 0.1% NP 40] and then centrifuged at 13,000 × g for 15 min. Aliquots of the lysates (50 μg of protein) were boiled at 95 °C for 5 min and electrophoresed on SDS–polyacrylamide gels. Gels were transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes for blotting (Bio-Rad, CA, USA), and the membranes were then incubated with primary antibodies. The membranes were further incubated with secondary immunoglobulin G-horseradish peroxidase conjugates, and then underwent enhanced chemiluminescence using a Western blotting detection kit (Amersham, Buckinghamshire, UK). The protein bands were visualized using luminescent image analyzer.
Cells were seeded at 1.5 × 105 cells/well in 24 well plate and allowed to reach approximately 50% confluence on the day of transfection. The siRNA construct used were obtained as mismatched siRNA control (siControl, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), siRNA against JNK, and p38 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA). Cells were transfected with 10–50 nM siRNA using lipofectamineTM 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) based on the manufacturer's instruction. At 24 h after transfection, the cells were treated with Compound K for 48 h and examined by either Western blot analysis or MTT assay.
All the measurements were performed in triplicate and all values were represented as the mean standard error (SE). Results were subjected to an analysis of the variance (ANOVA) using the Tukey test for analysis of the differences. Statistical significance was set at p > 0.05.
This study demonstrated that Compound K-mediated generation of ROS led to apoptosis through activation of p38 MAPK and JNK, which modulate the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax, and then trigger loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, cytochrome c release, and caspase activation.
This work was supported by a research grant from Jeju National University Hospital.

|Great pitch with a few manufactured holds. There are two ways to do the crux at 6th bolt. The more direct way using the undercling for the left hand then dynoing to the jug with the right has always felt quite hard (.12d). This is how I climbed it numerous times over the years. In 2012, I figured out I could traverse left another move to to big sidepull flake & then reach the jug. Then way is less obvious but easier to execute (.12c).

Oh Noes! Prescriptives Cosmetics Going Out Of Business
Prescriptives, the makeup company known for skin care-friendly products and custom blends, is going out of business. Apparently, the brand, a division of Estee Lauder, hasn't been performing well, and its shutdown is part of company restructuring. Eek! What comes next? Please don't take away our Bobbi Brown or Clinique goods (seems unlikely).
Anyhow, it's a shame because we've long been obsessed with their Magic line foundations, which have the greatest texture. Luckily, Prescriptives fans now have fair warning, as wholesale distribution will end in January, and the rest of the stock will be sold on the Prescriptives website until supplies last. Better stock up now before you have to scour eBay! [Wall Street Journal]

The herring of the Baltic Sea shows a complicated population structure. Comparable to herring in other areas it can also be discriminated as spring and autumn spawning herring. Autumn spawning herring has been nearly vanished since the late 1960's. Baltic Sea spring spawning herring show a broad variety as far as morphometric and other biological characteristics are concerned. It seems not very likely that all those differences are genetically based. The spawning sites of populations are, however, often clearly separated and such groups of herring are in most cases characterized by distinct differences in individual growth. Therefore for assessment purposes it is necessary to distinguish between as small as possible units in order to not endanger smaller populations to become extinct by overexploitation. On the other hand migrations and mixing of herring of different origin especially during the summer feeding period result in extreme difficulties of the discrimination of small units. For this reason only three herring assess ment units have been identified for the central and the northern Baltic Sea: herring in Sub-divisions 25–32+32, herring in Sub-division 30 and herring in Sub-division31. The spring spawning herring of the western Baltic Sea has been combined with spring spawning herring in Division IIIa. Only the herring stock in Sub-division 30 shows a positive development in the past. The largest assessment unit in Sub-divisions 25–29+32 decreased continuously during the whole period 1974–1998. The western Baltic Spring spawning herring stock decreased from 1990 to 1996. There is an ongoing debate on scientific level whether the combination of small populations into large assessment units like the one in S-D's 25–29&32 might include the danger of the extinction of small compartments of the unit. On the other hand the practice by the International Baltic Sea Fishery Commission of managing the Baltic Sea herring fisheries by dividing a yearly Total Allowable Catch for the whole area among fishery zones without taking care of any biological structure and any individual stock development is totally against the idea of sustainability of fisheries.

Along with TRIP CITY artists, photographers and painters like Jen Ferguson, and Seth Kushner, I will be showing and selling an original Billy Dogma piece and a limited edition of prints [see above] inspired by The Brooklyn Bridge and "The Last Romantic Antihero" at The 3rd Annual Brooklyn Bridge Birthday Celebration group art show at Brooklyn Tattoo and Urban Folk Art Gallery launching May 25th. I have never sold an original Billy Dogma piece, so this is kind of special to me.
–Dean Haspiel
Brooklyn, New York; It is a time honored tattoo parlour tradition to commemorate an auspicious date or event with a themed tattoo. Shops have long been inking 13 dollar "13" tattoos when that date falls on Friday the 13th, or offers $31 dollar Halloween imaged tattoos on October 31st. With this thought in mind, and because of the great success of the last 2 years, Brooklyn Tattoo® is proud to announce the 3rd annual Brooklyn Bridge 129th Birthday Celebration. They have decided once again to honor one of their biggest inspirations, the Brooklyn Bridge, by offering $29 Brooklyn Bridge tattoos on Sunday May 27th , 2 days before the Bridge's 128th anniversary (May 24th). Also in the Urban Folk Art© Gallery, adjacent to the shop, there will be a group art show commemorating the Brooklyn Bridge through the eyes of many local artists and expressed in many mediums. The opening for this show is Friday, May 25th.
On Friday May 25th, from 7pm to 11pm, there will be an art opening in the gallery. Over 20 artists of varying mediums and artistic backgrounds will contribute to the show. Painters illustrators, educators, photographers, comic book makers, tattooers, and more will present their homage to the bridge. Following on Sunday May 27th from 1-7, those interested in receiving a Brooklyn Bridge themed tattoo can show up at the shop-Brooklyn Tattoo®, 99 Smith Street, Brooklyn, and pick from several flash (pre-drawn) images that evoke the spirit that has defined New York's iconic skyline. Tattoos will be done by several of the Brooklyn Tattoo® staff on a first come, first serve basis. Also, for those not committed enough to join ink to skin, copies of the flash design sheets will be available for purchase as well as a limited edition book Adam Suerte put together showcasing 50 Brooklyn Bridge tattoos he's done in the past. Also, Brooklyn Bridge t-shirts, pint and shot glasses, and other Brooklyn Bridge themed merch will be sold in the Gallery as usual.
This two part event is sponsored by our good friends up the block at Bar Great Harry
Brooklyn Tattoo® has been operating in South Brooklyn for over 10 years, and the Urban Folk Art© collective has been putting on artshows in the neighborhood for as long. The gallery was opened in January 2011, they exhibit various genres of work from contemporary painting, drawing, illustration, printmaking and photography, legendary graffiti artists to comic art. The gallery shows a range of undiscovered, emerging, and established artists. The collective's belief is that the cross marketing of each other and the gallery as a whole as a mutually supportive resource is a valuable way for emerging artists to gain a wider audience for it's members, the group, and the artists the gallery supports.

In Norse mythology, Jörmungandr (Old Norse: Jǫrmungandr, pronounced: / ˈjɔrmuŋɡandr/), often written Jormungand, or Jörmungand and also known as the Midgard Serpent (Old Norse: Midgarðsormr), or World Serpent, is a sea serpent, the middle child of the giantess Angrboða and the god Loki. According to the Prose Edda, Odin took Loki's three children by Angrboða, the wolf Fenrir, Hel and Jörmungandr, and tossed Jörmungandr into the great ocean that encircles Midgard.[1] The serpent grew so large that he was able to surround the earth and grasp his own tail.[1] As a result, he received the name of the Midgard Serpent or World Serpent. When he lets go, the world will end. Jörmungandr's arch-enemy is the god Thor.
The major sources for myths about Jörmungandr are the Prose Edda, the skaldic poem Húsdrápa, and the Eddic poems Hymiskviða and Völuspá. Less important sources include kennings in other skaldic poems. For example in Þórsdrápa, faðir lögseims, "father of the sea-thread", is used as a kenning for Loki. There are also image stones from ancient times depicting the story of Thor fishing for Jörmungandr.
There are three preserved myths detailing Thor's encounters with Jörmungandr:
Lifting the cat
In one, Thor encounters the serpent in the form of a colossal cat, disguised by the magic of the giant king Útgarða-Loki, who challenges the god to lift the cat as a test of strength. Thor is unable to lift such a monstrous creature as Jörmungandr, but does manage to raise it far enough that it lets go of the ground with one of its four feet.[2] When Útgarða-Loki later explains his deception, he describes Thor's lifting of the cat as an impressive deed.[2]
Thor's fishing trip
Another encounter comes when Thor goes fishing with the giant Hymir. When Hymir refuses to provide Thor with bait, Thor strikes the head off Hymir's largest ox to use as his bait.[3] They row to a point where Hymir often sat and caught flat fish, where he drew up two whales, but Thor demands to go further out to sea, and does so despite Hymir's warnings.
Thor then prepares a strong line and a large hook and baits it with the ox head, which Jörmungandr bites. Thor pulls the serpent from the water, and the two face one another, Jörmungandr dribbling poison and blood.[3] Hymir goes pale with fear, and as Thor grabs his hammer to kill the serpent, the giant cuts the line, leaving the serpent to sink beneath the waves.[3]
This encounter with Thor seems to have been one of the most popular motifs in Norse art. Four picture stones that have been linked with the myth are the Altuna Runestone, Ardre VIII image stone, the Hørdum stone, and the Gosforth Cross.[4] A stone slab that may be a portion of a second cross at Gosforth also shows a fishing scene using an ox head.[5] Of these, the Ardre VIII stone is the most interesting, with a man entering a house where an ox is standing, and another scene showing two men using a spear to fish.[6] The image on this stone is dated to the 8th[4] or 9th century. If the stone is correctly interpreted as depicting this myth, it demonstrates that the myth was in a stable form for a period of about 500 years to the recording of the myth in the Prose Edda around the year 1220.[6]
The final battle
The last meeting between the serpent and Thor is predicted to occur at Ragnarök, when Jörmungandr will come out of the ocean and poison the sky.[7] Thor will kill Jörmungandr and then walk nine paces before falling dead, having been poisoned by the serpent's venom.[7]

sometimes there is a problem with connecting other servers. In this
cases htmerge removes all docs from the database! :o(
Is there a way to avoid this? I can set remove_bad_urls to false, but
in this case, bad url will never be removed! What I need is way
to tell htmerge somethink like:
Only remove bad urls, if they were last two weeks too!
How can I do something like this?

About MeI've always been encouraged by people in my life to explore being an alternative to the typical pinup. And after being directly told by the last two photographers I've shot with to do more work, I've decided to create a profile and see what happens.
I believe beauty can be found in all sizes, shapes, looks, and ethnicity and as a nearly six foot tall voluptuous woman strive to be an example of that notion.
I would enjoy modeling for photographers who have a fetish, gothic, erotic, and pinup focus, but am open to all experiences. And while I might look it it, I am not a primadonna and very easy to work with. I have limited experience at this time, but Richard Yates says I take direction better than model he's ever shot with.
And, my image was used during Duran Duran's performance of Rio on their last tour.

How not to hear "away from me I never knew you!"
Which comes first obedience or faith?
"the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations"(Romans 1:5) This is Pauls mission statement. His reason to live. His goal in life. And it should be the goal of every Chrisrian minister, indeed of every Christian: to bring about the obedience of faith in themselves and others.One thing I love about the ESV is that it doesn't seem to explain phrases that could be ambiguous. This is one such example.I can think of at least five possible ways of interpreting thi … [Read more...]
Why did God forsake Jesus?
"And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?""(Mark 15:34 ) To the Muslim the idea that a prophet could die a cruel death on a cross is anathema. To the 1st century Jew it wasn't exactly what they expected from their long awaited Messiah. To those of us who believe Jesus was and is the Eternal Son of God it should be even more remarkable. The question "why did God forsake him?" Rings … [Read more...]
When does the wisdom of Mordecai become denying Jesus?
"And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had said to him, "Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times." And he broke down and wept."(Mark 14:72) We live in times that are remarkably hostile to Christians. I have written before about how at times the wisdom of Mordecai is entirely appropriate for us to follow. In many workplaces people keep it more professional these days and don't talk about any outside interests. Add to that th … [Read more...]
Every knee WILL bow!
And Jesus said, "I am, and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven." (Mark 14:62)He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death —even to death on a cross. For this reason God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow...and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. (Phil 2:8-11, HCSB) It's verses like this that put pay to any not … [Read more...]
Willing spirit. Weak flesh
"Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.""(Mark 14:38) Its interesting how quickly our minds often tend to think of our tendency towards sin when we consider this verse. But Jesus is just talking about the disciples failure to stay up and pray with him. He was talking about their natural tendency to sleep, and inability to fight against it. Jesus was here being kind and essentially saying "don't worry about it, I know you wa … [Read more...]
Rejected by us. Raised up by God
"Have you not read this Scripture: "'The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'?""(Mark 12:10-11) Have you ever stopped to think about how remarkable certain Scriptures really are? Overfamiliarity numbs us to the stark surprising reality.Last night my son George who is just eight commented on the story of Judges. He said something like How could they say, you know how God rescued us and di … [Read more...]
What have we done to Jesus' Church?
"And he was teaching them and saying to them, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'? But you have made it a den of robbers.""(Mark 11:17) How quickly my indignation rose when I looked at these words. How easy it is to apply them to someone else. We can all point the finger. Think of ministries who are fleecing the flock of God. Remind ourselves of unhelpful teaching that turns God into a slot machine. And in doing so as I mentioned a few days ag … [Read more...]
Jesus asks YOU today "what would you like me to do for you?"
"And Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" And the blind man said to him, "Rabbi, let me recover my sight.""(Mark 10:51) If you are anything like me, then your prayer life leaves much to be desired. As I once wrote, I am learning but I still have a long way to go. There are many challenges to us praying that come up. Sometimes it's our theology. We can tie ourselves in knots over Gods sovereignty and essentially come to the conclusion that b … [Read more...]
Entering the Kingdom like a child
"Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.""Mark 10:15 ESVWhat matters at the begining of our walk with God also matters every step of the way. Each day as we come to God, how do we come?Do we come quietly confident that we have done enough to please him? Or do we come terrified that our ongoing sins have angered him against us? Or do we simply come trusting he is our Father, we are his children, and that our sins or lack of them … [Read more...]

All Guns
Gun Parts
|Seller's Description
I have for sale or possible trade a very, very nice Kahr PM9 pistol chambered in 9mm. These pistols come in several variations, this one is the top level one. The slide is stainless steel. The pistol has a loaded chamber indicator which goes up on top of the barrel when a round is chambered. Most importantly, the pistol has an external frame safety which disables the trigger completely. The pistol has a 3 inch barrel, this is one of the smallest 9mm pistols in the world, far smaller than a glock or any other 9mm kahr.
The pistol comes with factory box, two factory magazines, one of them is extended to provide better grip. You will also get all the factory paperwork including the user manual, warranty card and Massachusetts warning card. This is a superb concealed carry pistol. The front and back straps of the grip are rough textured and provide great friction under any condition, even in rain. The slide and internals are stainless so they don't rust. The dimensions of the gun make it very easy to conceal, the gun fits in the palm of ones hand, that is how small it is. The striker firing mechanism is super reliable, jut like the one in a glock. This pistol is small enough to comfortably fit inside a pant or jacket pocket, even internal pockets. The external safety makes the pistol very, very safe to carry with a round in the chamber and the safety on. All you need to do is flip the safety with your thumb and it is ready to fire. The pistol also has an internal striker block safety which is disengaged when the trigger is pulled, the pistol will fire only with a fully pulled trigger, not by just dropping it or banging it.
I would prefer to sell the weapon for cash but I am also interested in trading it for other firearms or for gold or silver coins. Gold protects your portfolio if the market crashes or if there is inflation, scenarios associated with down market moves. However, firearms have even better correlation to the market as they do great as a portfolio allocation as long as the market moves up or down. If the market crashes there is more crime and more fear and people buy more guns as a self insurance policy. If the market rises there is more disposable income and people buy more guns. If the fed stops printing money and the economy improves the price of gold will come down, however the price of guns is not likely to come down as people will have more disposable income but also because with the passage of time it only becomes harder to acquire more guns because governments keep passing new restrictions and regulations. I use my firearms as a portfolio allocation but I also like keeping them around. If there is ever a break down in law and order through a natural or man made disaster your firearm is the only thing that will protect you, your property and your loved ones as law enforcement officers will be tied up elsewhere, just ask the people of Louisiana who needed police protection during hurricane Katrina.
I am primarily interested in one ounce gold or sivler coins, I like Eagles, liberties or maples but PAMPs or Krugerrands would work as well. I will treat you very fairly and give you credit for the spot price of gold or sivler. If the spot price of gold is more than my firearm I will make you whole with other firearms or ammo or accessories. I will not rip you off like those gold buying stores that pay people 30% below spot price. Again, I will get you credit for the spot price of gold. I am not an a gold business. I am just a private individual who is doing an asset swap by swapping some of my firearms for gold in order to balance my portfolio and my firearm collection. I will make up the difference in the price of my weapon and the spot price of one ounce of gold with other firearms, please look at my other auctions and see what interests you. I will combine several firearms to come up with a fair value for your one ounce gold coin, I will treat you very fairly. As far as firearms go I would like to trade it for a browning hi power or a dpms or bushmaster AR15 rifle in 5.56mm. I would love to trade it for a hard chrome browning hi power. I might also be interested in a stainless steel CZ 75 Stainless steel Sig 226 in 9mm. I am also open to other trades, jut let me know what you have.
I must ship the weapon to your ffl, there are absolutely no exceptions to this rule. Shipping is free to whomever purchases from me or whoever trades with me as long as your ffl accepts from me directly. If he does not please add $25 as that is what he will charge me for the transfer. Also if you want insurance please add $20 as that is what it will cost to insure the weapon for shipping.
If you want to buy the weapon just hit the buy it now and you can send me a personal check or money order as payment. If you want to trade, here is how the trading works. Once we agree on a trade I will end the auction or auctions. You will then send your gold or silver to me directly, or if you are trading me firearms your firearm to my ffl. Once your payment gold gets to me or your firearm to my ffl, I will ship my weapon or weapons to your ffl. This is just like purchasing something on auction arms and sending payment first, except you are paying with another firearm or with gold. These terms are not negotiable. Please look at the pictures carefully as I went through a lot of trouble to take them. Either send me a message through this site or for best results email me directly at [email protected], please specify which one of my weapons you were interested in.
I strive to answer all emails within 24 hours, if I fail to respond I never got your message so please try again. I sincerely appreciate your time and consideration and I apologize for the long description but this amazingly beautiful weapon truly warrants a lot of detail in the wording. I have this weapon for sale locally as well and I reserve the right to end the auction early. I will not end the auction if there is a bid on it. I will gladly sell or trade the weapon face to face to an Illinois resident with a valid Illinois Firearms Owners Identification Card. Again, I can only ship the weapon to a licensed FFL and I can only sell it or trade it face to face to someone with a Valid FOID Card. All the best and May The Second Amendment Live Forever.
I have for sale or possible trade a very, very nice Kahr PM9 pistol chambered in 9mm. These pistols come in several variations, this one is the top level one

Director: Keitaro Motonaga
Character Design: Hisashi Hirai
Series Composition: Reiko Yoshida
Animation Production: Dogakobo & Orange
Spoiler for Image height:
So instantly recognizable as Hisashi Hirai designs I don't even need to look at the character design tab.:heh:
Orange eh? Pretty cool that they've gotten to the point where they're not just credited for "CG Production" but actual co-credited for Animation Production. I guess they're trying to be the next CG Studio to get wider recognition after Sanzigen. Good for them. Their work on Akito the Exiled recently was fantastic. :)
Man, the design is just so different than the manga it's jarring
Could always use more scifi and mecha :)
Looks amazing. I'm excited to watch this already. ^^
I pity any artist whose designs get adapted by Hisashi Hirai. It does sound kinda interesting, but Hirai's designs are always such a turnoff for me that I'll pass.

2nd PV
That PV... actually looks interesting or rather I like the whole misfits thing going on with the main cast. The voice cast seems nice too:
Izuru Hitachi: Jun Fukushima(?)
Toshikazu Asagi: Shintaro Asanuma
Tamaki Irie: Yuka Iguchi
Kei Kugimiya: Yoko Hikasa
Ataru Suruga: Yuki Ono(?)
Rin Suzukaze: Miyuki Sawashiro
I'm sure about most of them except for Izuru and Ataru's VAs. I want to give it a shot now but Hirai's designs are so damn ugly it's putting me off. >_<;;
I have no idea why Hirai is still getting work, his designs are awful. :/ And the worst thing about it is that he didn't use to be so bad, at least his chara designs for Infinite Ryvius were actually pretty good, with nice variation.
I'd check this out just because the manga has the author of Get Backers, but Hirai is a total turn-off.
But yeah, I don't like Hirai's designs either. In fact I'm pretty sure half the reason I wasn't able to like Gundam Seed as much as I wanted to was because of those designs...
Anyone have character pictures from the manga?
The PV peak my interest a bit. I don't like Character Designs very much.
If I do decided to watch this, it may be for the VA's that @Kakkou listed.
I agree with everyone else, mostly. If the manga was made by Get Backers' author then I am very intrigued, and the PV seemed good... But damn, are those character designs derpy. I'll ignore it, but it really is a shame that they couldn't have gotten someone better for this. Seems like such a waste.
I like the new PV a lot. I was under the impression it was going to be another generic series mecha series and I wasn't really interested. But the new PV makes it really promising as an action comedy about a team of misfit losers who have no idea what they're doing. The dialogue is funny as hell too.
This PV is a breath of fresh air: the dialog is cheeky enough to be entertaining, the plot is promising, and the cast is diverse. All in all I think this series has serious potential.
The one drawback are the derpy character designs. Honestly, did the production committee even look at them before signing off on them? Needless to say, I have never been a fan of Hirai. With the exception of Heroic Age I have not enjoyed any of the works he has been a part of. I hope this series proves to be the second exception.
